Commission won’t guarantee Gilford a dollar for dollar tax credit In 2013, Mutual Fire Aid cost will be removed from county budget & be billed directly to municipalities By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Belknap County Commissioners this week announced that while the $554,000 appropriation for the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid Association (LRMFAA) will be
stripped from the 2014 county budget they recommend to the Belknap County Convention, they cannot ensure that the overall budget will be reduced by an equivalent amount. The LRMFAA includes 36 municipalities. The 25 in Car-
roll, Grafton, Merrimack and Strafford counties are billed directly by the LRMFAA according to a formula consisting of a fixed charge along with factors for both total population and assessed valuation. Laconia and the 10 townships of
Belknap County have not been billed directly by LRMFAA. Instead, their total share of its budget has been included in the county budget, apportioned among them based solely on their share of the total assessed see MUTUaL aid page 14
Coming up for supper
By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — In perhaps the most keenly contested of the six races for City Counci,l the voters of Ward 6 will choose between incumbent Armand Bolduc, seeking his 16th consecutive term, and Tony Felch, who has campaigned on the theme that “it’s time for change.” “I don’t just work in Ward 6. I work in all of them,” said Bolduc, who also served a term as mayor from 1984-1986 when the councilors elected the mayor from among their number. Apart from longevity, Bolduc’s visibility is as a mainstay of the annual Christmas Village and leading figure in the Lakeport Association, make him a formidable opponent to any challenger. “It’s name recognition,” said Felch, a Lakeport resident who has managed the Mountain View Apartments for the past 22 years and serves as president of the Leavitt Park Association. “I voted for Armand for many see Ward 6 page 13

Majority of Briarcrest residents siding with the Mooneys By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Following a meeting at their community center last night, 107 homeowners at Briarcrest Estates signed a petition in support of an effort to forestall the sale of the manufactured housing park to the Lakemont Cooperative, Inc., which was formed by other residents of the park. The rift among residents has widened and

deepened since July when Mark and Ruth Mooney, the owners of the park, accepted an offer from Hometown America, Inc., which owns 41 parks with 19,000 households in 11 states, to purchase the park for $10 million. In accord with state law, which entitles tenants to make a counter offer and requires the owners to bargain in good faith, a group of residents incorporated as the Lakemont Cooperative to match the $10 million offer.

In response, the Mooneys petitioned the Belknap County Superior Court to approve the sale of the park to Hometown America, Attorney John Giere, representing the Mooneys, claims that since most residents oppose cooperative ownership, approving the transaction would serve the best interests of the majority in keeping with the intent of the law. see BriarCrEST page 14

Twitter stock will sell for $17 to $20
NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter has set a price range of $17 to $20 per share for its initial public offering and says it could raise as much as $1.6 billion in the process. The pricing is relatively conservative considering that Twitter is poised to pull off the year’s hottest IPO. Twitter Inc. said in a regulatory filing Thursday that it will put forth 70 million shares in the offering. If all the shares are sold, the underwriters can buy another 10.5 million shares. At the $20 share price, Twitter’s market value would be around $12.5 billion, roughly one-tenth of Facebook’s current valuation. Twitter’s value is based on 625.2 million outstanding shares expected after the offering, including restricted stock units and stock options. The San Franciscobased short-messaging service plans to list its stock under the ticker symbol “TWTR” on the New York Stock Exchange. The shares will likely start trading in early November. Twitter will begin its IPO “roadshow” as early as Friday, meeting with prospective investors to pitch its stock. see TWEET page 14

Obama sees potential for immigration law WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama made a plea for Republican cooperation on immigration Thursday, seeking common ground by year’s end in the aftermath of the divisive partial government shutdown. Yet prospects for success this year remain a long shot even as a handful of House GOP lawmakers push for more limited measures. Obama’s renewed focus on immigration comes amid mounting criticism of the White House over computer problems that
have plagued insurance enrollment under the 3-year old health care law. It also comes nearly four months since a bipartisan majority in the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill that would tighten border security and provide a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants living here illegally. “Rather than create problems, let’s prove to the American people that Washington can actually solve some problems,” Obama said during an event devoted to immigra-
tion at the White House. The Senate measure has stalled in the House, where most Republicans reject a comprehensive approach and many question offering citizenship to people who broke U.S. immigration laws to be in this country. Still, White House officials say they believe that the partial government shutdown, rather than poisoning the political atmosphere, may have created an opporsee IMMIGRATION page 10
Merkel fuming over reports Classmate says teen accused of NSA tapped her cellphone killing teacher stayed after school BRUSSELS (AP) — European leaders united in anger Thursday as they attended a summit overshadowed by reports of widespread U.S. spying on its allies — allegations German Chancellor Angela Merkel said had shattered trust in the Obama administration and undermined the crucial trans-Atlantic relationship. The latest revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency swept up more than 70 million phone records in France and may have tapped Merkel’s own cellphone brought denun-
ciations from the French and German governments. Merkel’s unusually stern remarks as she arrived at the European Union gathering indicated she wasn’t placated by a phone conversation she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now. “We need trust among allies and partners,” Merkel told reporters in Brussels. “Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about.” see TAP page 13

DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A teacher who was allegedly killed by one of her students had asked him to stay after school the day she was killed, a classmate said Thursday, as students met with grief counselors and tried to come to grips with the slaying of the popular teacher. Philip Chism, 14, was charged with murder Wednesday in the death of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School. Rania Rhaddaoui sat two seats away from Chism in Ritzer’s Algebra I class, the
final class of the school day. She said Chism was drawing in a notebook rather than taking notes Tuesday. “She came over and said, ‘I didn’t know you draw,’ and he said, ‘yes,’ then later on, she said, ‘Can you stay after with me?’” Rhaddaoui said. “Obviously, he stayed after because when I was leaving, he was still at his desk.” She said Ritzer had scheduled a test for Friday, but she was unsure why exactly Ritzer asked Chism to stay after school. see CHISM page 4

Cardinals even World Series with 4-2 win at Fenway BOSTON (AP) — Just when it seemed Michael Wacha had cracked, the St. Louis Cardinals began scooting around the bases and tied the World Series. Wacha beat John Lackey in a matchup of present and past rookie sensations, and this time it was the Cardinals’ turn to take advantage of sloppy fielding as St. Louis topped the Boston Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to even the Series at a game apiece. David Ortiz put Boston ahead in the sixth inning with a two-run homer just over the Green Monster in left, ending Wacha’s scoreless streak at 18 2-3 innings — a rookie record for a single postseason. But then Lackey, who in 2002 with the Angels became the first rookie in 93 years to win Game 7 of a World Series, faltered in a three-run seventh. St. Louis went ahead when Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that led to a pair of runs, with the second scoring on errors by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Craig Breslow. Carlos Beltran, back in the lineup after bruising ribs in the opener, followed with an RBI single. “I wanted to be in the lineup. I worked so hard to get to this point,” Beltran said. “Somebody would have to kill me in order for me to be out of the lineup.” Wacha, a 22-year-old right-hander, wasn’t quite as sharp and allowed two runs, three hits and four walks in six innings with six strikeouts. But he improved to 4-0 in four outings this postseason, matching the amount of regular-season wins he has in his brief career. “He pitched outstanding,” Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said. “Just one pitch, to a great hitter like Big Papi. We take our hat off to him, but I mean, he pitched good tonight.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — After uniting against Republican efforts earlier this month to delay President Barack Obama’s health care law, a growing number Democrats in Congress now want to extend the enrollment deadline, and one senator wants to delay the penalty for not complying. Six Senate Democrats up for re-election next year have proposed delaying the new March 31 deadline for applying for coverage while the program’s problems are ironed out. A seventh, West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, is co-authoring a bill to postpone the $95 penalty for people who fail to meet the deadline for acquiring insurance. While their proposals are short on details, all argue that it’s not fair to hold millions of Americans accountable for buying insurance when the primary instrument for enrollment — the HealthCare.gov website — has prevented many people from doing it. Even the law’s biggest boosters are aggravated that enrollment process for the national health care law they had hoped to tout on the 2014 campaign trail has gotten off to such a bad start. “If we want this law to work, we’ve got to make it right, we’ve got to fix it,” Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., one of the law’s leading authors, said at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing Thursday on the sign-up problems. Contractors for the health insurance website told the committee the government failed to thoroughly test the complex enrollment system before its Oct. 1 launch. The system crashed as soon as consumers tried to use it. A web of confusing deadlines and penalties for not obtaining health insurance persists.

Growing number of Dems want Obamacare deadlines rolled back
His parents and sister made the trip from Texarkana, Texas, and sat bundled in cold-weather clothes in the stands to watch Wacha, the 19th pick in last year’s amateur draft. The Cardinals’ hard-throwing bullpen combined for one-hit relief, with Trevor Rosenthal striking out all three batters in the ninth for a save. He whiffed Daniel Nava with a 99 mph fastball to end it. All three St. Louis pitchers Thursday night were 23 or younger. “It doesn’t surprise me. Those guys got talent,” Molina said. “Like I said many times before, they’re not afraid to pitch.” Seeking its second World Series title in three seasons, St. Louis improved to 7-0 this postseason when scoring first and stopped Boston’s Series winning streak at nine. When the Series resumes Saturday night at Busch Stadium, Jake Peavy starts for the Red Sox and Joe Kelly for the Cardinals. Twenty-nine of the previous 55 teams that won Game 2 to tie the Series went on to take the title. A night after the Cardinals made three errors in the opener and allowed the Red Sox to romp 8-1, the fielding failures were on the other side. Given a 2-1 lead, Lackey walked David Freese with one out in the seventh and allowed Jon Jay’s single. Breslow relieved, and the Cardinals pulled off a double steal as pinch-runner Pete Kozma swiped third. It was an uncharacteristically aggressive move for the Cardinals, who ranked last in the National League with 45 stolen bases this year.

LRGHealthcare declines to make payment in lieu of taxes on exempt property in Gilford BY GAIL OBER
GILFORD — Gilford’s town attorney has advised selectmen that two of the buildings owned by LRGHealthcare in Hillside Park meet tax-exempt criteria. The question arose earlier in April when the hospital applied for its 2013 tax-exempt status, as it has traditionally done and selectmen wanted to understand better what the town attorney thought. Atty. Robert Ciandella told selectmen that LRGHealthcare meets the requirements and suggested instead to do the research on a PILOT or payment in lieu of taxes. PILOTs are payments to communities that enjoy a tax-exempt status but voluntarily, and usually after negotiation, pays the community some money, the amount of which is usually based on the cost of the town services it uses. After approaching LRGHealthcare about making a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) for its facility on Maple Street, selectmen learned recently that LRGH will not pay one. After hearing Ciandella’s analysis, selectmen voted unanimously Wednesday to grant them the tax exempt status and not to pursue the matter further. According to a letter sent to the town on October 14 and signed by the MItchell Jean, Esq. Director of Risk Management and Safety, LRGHealthcare feels the two
units on Maple Street are appropriately taxed. One of the three buildings in the complex pays property taxes, however the other two are tax-exempt. “We appreciate the fact that the town is experiencing financial constraints,” he wrote. “The hospital is being subjected by the state to Medicaid Enhancement Taxes (MET) taxation in the millions that is putting severe pressure on the organization’s finances.” Advanced Orthopedic Specialists is part of LRGH and is located at Hillside Park on Route 11A. LRGHhealthcare pays property taxes to Gilford on one of the three buildings. According to Ciandella, LRGH meets the four individual criteria for tax-exemption three of which are – that the institution was established and is administered for a charitable purpose; that an obligation exists to perform the organization’s stated purpose to the public rather than simply to members of the organization; and that none of the organization’s income or profits are used for any purpose other than for which it was established. Ciandella said the fourth prong — that the land, in addition to being owned by the organization, is occupied by it and used directly for the stated charitable purpose - required some additional analysis. This is the actual use of the property. Based on data provided to the town attorney by LRGH, 15 percent of the accounts for two of the
three units on the property are held by people who are uninsured, under-insured and those who don’t have the ability to pay. In 2009 LRGHealthcare provided discounts and assistance amounting to $299,256. In 2010 it was $430,515, in 2011 it was $594,294 and in 2012 it was $256,651. These discounts and services amount to 13 percent of LRGHealthcare’s net revenue. In addition, Ciandella concluded the sleep center in one unit is the only source for that service in the county and the Rehabilitation/Therapy Department “is the sole source of integrated and coordinated rehabilitation and therapy (Physical, Occupational, and Speech) including hydro-therapy in the county.” Considering the above, the Ciandella determined LRGHealthcare meets the final prong of the fourprong test. His legal opinion drew heavily on the standards set by the City of Laconia v. Taylor Community when in 2001 the N.H. Supreme Court upheld Taylor Community’s tax-exempt status after a lengthy court battle. The Taylor Community provides the city of Laconia an annual payment in lieu of taxes. In Gilford, the Wesley Woods housing community pays a payment in lieu of taxes to the town for eight of its units. The PILOT was negotiated this year as a compromise between the two after three years of disagreements and instead of litigation.
CHISM from page 2 Ritzer never returned home that day. Blood in a second-floor bathroom helped lead investigators to her body, which was dumped in the woods behind the school in a close-knit community about 20 miles north of Boston. Chism was picked up by police in the early morning hours Wednesday, walking along Route 1 in neighboring Topsfield. His attorney declined to comment outside court Wednesday and did not immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday. The high school remained closed for classes Thurs-
day, but grief counselors were on hand to offer comfort to students. Kaitlyn Nash, 16, went to the school to be with her friends. She said students who knew and loved Ritzer were still trying to make sense of what happened. She said she found it particularly frightening that she had theater rehearsal Tuesday afternoon and was at the school when authorities believe Ritzer was killed. “It’s just terrifying,” she said. “I know a lot of people don’t want to go back to school at this point. I know we have to, and we just need to get on with.”
Classes were expected to resume Friday. Authorities offered no clues Thursday on Chism’s alleged motive. They also would not say how Ritzer was killed. Carrie Kimball-Monahan, a spokeswoman for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett, said the case was still being investigated. Chism had moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee before the start of the school year and was a top scorer on the school’s junior varsity soccer team.

Young Belmont man charged with operating marijuana farm in 1 bedroom apartment BELMONT — Police have charged a Laconia Road man with multiple drug-related offenses for allegedly having a marijuana manufacturing operation in his apartment. Lt. Rich Mann said yesterday that Patrick M. Robertson, 23, of 356 Laconia Road is charged with one felony count of manufacturing a controlled drug; possession of controlled drug with intent to distribute; endangering the welfare of a child; simple assault; and false imprisonment. Mann said police went to the home earlier this month in response to a well-being check. He said two adults and a 1-year-old child lived in the onebedroom apartment. He said police seized 55 items from the home. They charged Robinson with the above crimes yesterday.

from preceding page member, said the school has extensive programs to help ease the transition for new students who may have problems but there was no information about Chism that would have presented any red flags. “He just presented himself to us like any other student would,” she said Thursday. “And that’s what I think is so hard for the administration right now. You know, their hearts are breaking because they just didn’t know he was in need, if he was in need. ... No one knows why he would have behaved in this way and done such a terrible thing.” Students were also puzzled. Chism’s teammates on the soccer team have said he was soft-spoken and nonviolent. Rhaddaoui said Chism was quiet, and she never saw him raise his hand in math class. She said they were also in the same history class, where he told classmates he spoke three languages: English, Portuguese and Japanese. Mark Nolan, of Clarksville, Tenn., who coached Chism in a local youth soccer program for several years when Chism was 9 or 10, said there was nothing unusual about him. “He didn’t stand out; he wasn’t a troublemaker,” Nolan said. “He had no problem with other kids. He wasn’t overly aggressive.” Nolan recalled the Chism’s father was in the military and his mother was a social worker. Both parents attended their son’s soccer matches, Nolan said. Ritzer was described as an enthusiastic, caring teacher who stood outside her classroom and said hello to all students, whether they were in her classes or not. “She was very approachable,” Rhaddaoui said. “She was always smiling. She always made the best of every situation.” Ritzer’s family released a statement Thursday, asking the media to respect their privacy as they make arrangements “to celebrate Colleen’s vibrant life.”
He is free on $3,000 personal recognizance bail. Mann said the seized items ranged from small marijuana saplings to dried and processed marijuana, as well as equipment consistent with what would be found in a marijuana growing operation. Unable to fit all of the evidence into a police cruiser, Mann said the department Patrick M.. Robertson (Bemont Police photo) needed a town-owned pickup and multiple officers to transport the items to the police department. see POT BUST page 9

Obamacare’s EMR mandate is also a wreck Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, a Philadelphia orthopedic surgeon, has a timely reminder for everyone encountering the federal health care exchange meltdown: “If you think signing up for Obamacare is a nightmare, ask your doctor how the EMR mandate is going.” Bingo. The White House finally acknowledged the spectacular public disaster of Obamacare’s Internet exchange infrastructure during Monday’s Rose Garden infomercial. But President Shamwow and his sales team are AWOL on the bureaucratic ravages of the federal electronic medical records mandate. Modernized data collection is a worthy goal, of course. But distracted doctors are seeing “more pixels than patients,” Dr. DiNubile observes, and the EMR edict is foisting “dangerous user-unfriendly technology” on physicians and patients. Instead of concentrating on care, doctors face exhausting regulatory battles over the definition of “meaningful use” of technology, skyrocketing costs and unwarranted Big Brother intrusions on the practice of medicine. As I reported last year, Obamacare’s top-down, tax-subsidized, job-killing, privacy-undermining electronic record-sharing scheme has been a big fat bust. More than $4 billion in “incentives” has been doled out to force doctors and hospitals to convert and upgrade by 2015. But favored EMR vendors, including Obama bundler Judy Faulkner’s Epic Systems, have undermined rather than enhanced interoperability. Oversight remains lax. And after hyping the alleged benefits for nearly a decade, the RAND Corporation finally ‘fessed up that its cost-savings predictions of $81 billion a year — used repeatedly to support the Obama EMR mandate — were (like every other Obamacare promise) vastly overstated. In June, the Annals of Emergency Medicine published a study warning that the “rush to capitalize on the huge federal investment of $30 billion for the adoption of electronic medical records led to some unfortunate and unintended consequences” tied to “communication failure, poor data display, wrong order/wrong patient errors and alert fatigue.” Also this summer, Massachusetts reported that 60 percent of doctors could not meet the EMR mandate and face potential loss of their licenses in 2015. And a few weeks ago, the American College of Physicians pleaded with the feds to delay the mandate’s data collection, certification and reporting requirements. Dr. Hayward K. Zwerling, an internal medicine physician in Massachusetts who is also president of ComChart Medical Soft-
ware, blasted the Obamacare EMR mandate in a recent open letter: “As the developer of an EMR, I sincerely believe that a well-designed EMR is a useful tool for many practices. However, the federal and state government’s misguided obsession to stipulate which features must be in the EMRs, and how the physician should use the EMRs in the exam room places the politicians in the middle of the exam room between the patient and the physician, and seriously disrupts the physicianpatient relationship.” Zwerling’s call to arms appealed to fellow doctors to pressure the feds to repeal the mandate. “It is past time that physicians reclaim control of their offices, if not the practice of medicine.” As I’ve mentioned previously, my own primary care physician in Colorado Springs quit her regular practice and converted to “concierge care” because of the EMR imposition. Dr. Henry Smith, a Pennsylvania pulmonary doctor, also walked away. “Faced with the implementation costs and skyrocketing overhead in general,” he told me, “I finally threw in the towel and closed my practice.” He said, “As EMRs proliferate, and increased Medicare scrutiny looms, medical documentation is evolving from its original goal of recording what actually was going on with a patient, and what the provider was actually thinking, to sterile boilerplate documents designed to justify the highest billing codes.” Dr. Michael Laidlaw of Rocklin, Calif., told EHR Practice Consultants that he abandoned the Obamacare EMR “incentive” program “when I realized that I spent the first two to five minutes of each visit endlessly clicking a bunch of garbage to make all the green lights show up on the (meaningful use) meter. I said to myself: ‘I’m not wasting precious seconds of my life and my patients’ time to ensure some database gets filled with data. I didn’t go into medicine for this. It is not benefiting my patients or me. I hate it.’ I actually refused to take the $10Kplus this year. I have even accepted that I would rather be penalized in the future. What is worth the most to me is AUTONOMY.” Let me underscore that again: Doctors face steep penalties if they can’t meet the radical technology goals imposed by the very same glitch-plagued Obamacare bureaucrats who now need an emergency “tech surge” to fix their own failed info-tech Titanic. The Obamacare wrecking ball has only just begun. (Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin is the daughter of Filipino Immigrants.

LETTERS Ted Cruz has donned mantle of leadership; he’ll be formidable To The Daily Sun: A couple of weeks of playground turmoil over debt and governance drove home a scary observation. America is losing its way in a leadership vacuum, and a leader has emerged. The battle over shutdown and debt was Democrats and Republicans, the entrenched and bought against Ted Cruz. Conventional wisdom is Senator Cruz lost. Yet that one man forged a coalition of feisty rebels, forced the House of Representatives to the sidelines and sent the men of the Senate scampering to their woman to show them an exit. Now, in the immediate aftermath, self-serving narrations are attempting to portray chaos as diplomacy. These narratives will rapidly evolve to sound bites as the portrayals are poll-tested and refined. Ted Cruz will be at the heart of the narration. Having sought and begun to don the mantle of leadership, he will be formidable. He has the brains to manipulate the elected as well as the masses, the moxie to try, the ego to think he can recover from anything and the wherewithal to succeed at everything. By all accounts, Cruz is off the charts brilliant. He was a top-of-hisclass graduate from Princeton and Harvard as well as an award-winning debater. “Mother Jones,” a politically left-leaning magazine, has called him the Republican Barack Obama for his smarts and minority status. He was born Rafael Edward (Ted) Cruz in Alberta, Canada, to a Cuban father and American mother. While the old guard in his party blames him for beseeching the Republican brand and calls him a kook, others postulate he is the future of Republicanism. His underlying message (the federal government is too big and too powerful) has broad support within his party and registers favorably with a majority of the American people. With Tea Party adherents, his favorability is 74 percent. Demeaning comments from moderates and liberals only endure him to the committed. After two presidential elections where the Republican candidate pandered right in the primaries, pivoted center in the campaign and flamed out on election night, fidelity
pretentious moderation is gaining respectability among the affluent and influential. “Who leads Republicans?” has been an ongoing question. John Boehner, speaker of the House, has been an especially ineffectual leader. His refusal to exercise the power of his office in the latest fiasco enabled it. Ironically, following Cruz, offering tacit support to his gambit, made Boehner a better leader in the eyes of the Tea Party. The other inside government Republican leader is Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader. The old guard is lauding his work with the majority leader (Harry Reid) to finalize and implement the woman-led design to end the shutdown and extend borrowing authority. Back home in Kentucky, however, many in his party view it as betrayal. That view may offer Cruz an opportunity to enhance his leadership persona. Matt Bevin, a Tea Party type, is challenging McConnell in the Republican primary. Independent polling data for that primary race are not yet available. Nonetheless, there are signs McConnell is vulnerable. Influential conservative organizations are endorsing Bevin. Sarah Palin is hinting (no so subtly) she intends to intervene on Bevin’s behalf. Independent voters are turning on McConnell. His Democratic opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes, has a slight lead in the most recent general election poll. Two of the three top contenders for the Republican presidential nod (Cruz and Rand Paul) have significant disagreements on policy, but both are avid proponents of smaller, less intrusive government. Both have personal reasons to dislike McConnell. McConnell actively opposed Paul’s bid for the Senate in 2011. In doing so, he made some nasty comments. McConnell has been in the fore of the effort to demean Cruz and lead the intraparty effort to marginalize him. A coordinated Cruz-Paul effort aided by Palin, conservative organizations and wealthy Tea Party backers could be the fat lady singing for McConnell. Moreover, it would put the fear of God into Cruz’s Republican detractors. Robert Moran

LETTERS Rich only dislike government spending when they don’t benefit
USS Enterprise power would price Northern Pass out of existence
To The Daily Sun, Ever get tired of hearing the same old mantras by government haters? That is: “Government holds back American capitalism”; “Big government intrusion in our lives”; “Government control hurts those struggling to achieve the American Dream”; “government is remarkably inefficient compared to the private sector”. It’s like listening to “It’s a Rainy Night” over and over again sort of like watching EWTN. People actually believe this stuff but then again you can fool some of the people all the time. Take the core technologies that make the iPhone work, the Internet, GPS, touchscreens and cellular communication — that’s right, all because of direct government investments in research and development (R&D). Companies such as Apple, Compaq and Intel? That’s right. Early financing via the Small Business Innovative Research program. Government haters often cite the fact that tech giants like Facebook, Apple, and Google thrive in this country because the state sector in European countries is much larger than in the U.S. That’s right. It’s always been government investments in R&D that venture capital firms generally consider too risky to undertake that has given the U.S. an edge in tech firms. Take another sector — pharmaceuticals. That’s right, 75 percent of the innovative drugs brought to market by Big Pharma were discovered in national laboratories funded by the state. They then claim that they have to charge exorbitant prices for their drugs to cover the high cost of ahem R&D? That’s right. They spend two and a half times as much on marketing and administration than they do on research. According to Physicians for a National Health Program, single
To The Daily Sun, Last week I wrote a letter floating the idea that we should modify the decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and turn it into a commercial power generating station. A nutty idea perhaps and admittedly fraught with all kinds of political problems. However the problems with this are only political and not technical. I have spent my working career in the power plant industry, mostly nuclear, and this is what I believe can be done. The “Big E” as her crew fondly calls her has eight Westinghouse A2W reactors, combined they can turn generators built on her 4.5 acre flight deck and produce as much power (if not more) than Seabrook, that is 1,200 meggawatts, and be up and running within 2-3 years. The cost of this project I estimate to be less than 10 percent of the $6 billion it cost to build Seabrook, and because these are military naval reactors they can run without refueling for many years. Add to this that no greenhouse gasses are produced and the cost of the power could be one cent per killowatt hour! Far cheaper than anything else. The Northern Pass project would be priced out of existence before it gets off the ground. She could be anchored off-shore, out-ofsight and provide some rate relief to the Northeast which has the highest cost of electricity in the country. Evacua-
payer health care is actually more efficient than private for profit health care for a whole host of reasons. One third of health care dollars goes to administration and paper work. That’s right. The potential savings on paperwork — 400 billion dollars per year could provide comprehensive coverage to everyone without paying anymore than we do now. The song and dance routine goes on and on: charter schools, private prisons, privatized public infrastructure. That’s right, substandard and/ or inefficiencies or both. These myths have been fueled by a neoliberal orthodoxy for the past 30 years. Privatization, deregulation, and lower taxes were touted as the solution for societies’ ills. Even before this neoliberal onslaught the most conservative economists had accepted the need for the state to intervene in order to “solve” market failures. They didn’t like it but they still believe this way! Here’s another reality check for you. The political elite, the rich and corporations only dislike government spending when they aren’t the beneficiaries — which explains their disdain for welfare spending that benefits the poor. They love to jump in and make massive profits after the government has taken the risks. That’s right. Socialize the risks and privatize the profits. Both parties love to spend the big bucks on defense while at the same time “ending welfare as we know it” (Clinton). That’s right. The War on Poverty has become the War on the Poor. I have no problem with people dependent on Big Government but I do with people who complain about Big Government. To continue to function properly, capitalism will always need the intervention of the state to save the system from itself. George Maloof Plymouth
Tired of central-planning types telling me what’s good for me To The Daily Sun, A letter in the October 19 edition of The Sun claims that “there is a virtual consensus of peer-reviewed science that climate change is human caused”. I swear I am not making this up. With 16 years of no global warming (hence the name change), Antarctic ice at record levels, Arctic ice having returned to normal levels, several cold weather extremes over Europe, northern India and parts of North and South America and the fact that four of the five snowiest northern hemisphere winters in the last half century have occurred since 2008, even the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change has had to admit that their claims of a looming cataclysm have been just a tad bit exaggerated. This information was gleaned from a report co-authored by Paul Driessen and Madhav Khandekar. Yet Professor Wes Golomb asserts that “the EPA has the authority to protect our health from dangerous carbon pollution and should act accordingly”. When the environmentalists say carbon pollution it seems they are really referring to “carbon dioxide emissions”. You know, the substance that spurs plant growth
and boosts crop yields, thus helping to feed more people. The EPA has already become a rogue organization and the professor apparently wants to give it more power to harm the livelihood and life of people based on junk science. Remember back in 2012 when EPA dictator Lisa Jackson slapped a $6.8 million dollar fine on oil refineries for not blending cellulosic ethanol into gasoline and jet fuel? It did not matter that cellulosic ethanol did not exist at that time. Democrats deluded with the knowledge that they have been christened with the honor of having the higher moral ground, actually believe in unicorns and fantasy fuels to the point where they can actually bludgeon companies based on nothing more than their good intentions. The Wall Street Journal said it best, “Congress subsidized a product that didn’t exist, mandated it’s purchase though it still didn’t exist, is punishing oil companies for not buying the product that doesn’t exist, and is now doubling down on the subsidies in the hope that someday it might exist”. Brazil, China and India are emitting enormous amounts of carbon see next page
tion plan? No problem. In the extremely unlikely case of emergency tow her out to sea away from population centers and deal with it out there. I guess the point I am trying to make here is how our elected officials think. The taxpayers paid to build the “The Big E”. She performed her function beautiful as did those who served on her. But now that she can no longer fulfill that role, why on earth are we throwing her away like an old beer can? A 93,000 ton beer can. She can still perform useful and meaningful service far into the future. Another idea is that she could be turned into a disaster relief vessel that can produce electrical power, thousands of gallons of fresh water, and her cavernous interior turned into a hospital and staging for supplies, etc. At a time when we are all struggling to figure out how we are going to fund our government, and all it does, we need to think better. So the Big E can’t be used as an instrument of war any more, wouldn’t it be fitting to give her new life as an instrument of peace. But as it stands right now she is going to the scrap heap and be turned into the ultimate symbol of the throw away mentality of our society. Gordon Blais Meredith

LETTERS You voted twice for Obama? You must like inflicting pain on others To The Daily Sun, June M. Huot relayed her comments regarding the use of caps in letters. Her second concern, some letters appear personal attacks that sicken her. No kind person one wants another to be ill so I suggest something to June that seems beyond obvious. STOP reading letters to the editor that have CAPS in them and those that do not French-kiss Obama. Remember, NO ONE LEARNS a thing from those WHO AGREE WITH THEM. It is only opposing thought that might open a closed mind. June seems to brag that she voted TWICE for Obama. That is like saying I enjoyed my first case of hemorrhoids so much, I wanted then again. June seems to love PAIN inflicted on others. Her great love, Obama, is the man who has created and presided over record poverty, record welfare, record debt, record deficits, record paralysis in government, bankrupt entitlement programs as far as the eye can see and an electorate as divided and intolerant of each other as anytime in modern history. GREAT VOTE JUNE. It shows your lack of feelings for those suffering dreadfully from an OBAMA ECONOMY that has yet to escape STALL SPEED for five YEARS. June, are you able to recognize the ECONOMIC harm Obama’s policies have caused to so many millions or is it simply over your head? We should thank you, for your vote is the height of hypocrisy and trivializes the pain of those still SUFFERING from the absolute failed presidential leadership of Obama. Letters to the editor are are OPEN FRONTIER where any one can say what they want. Where Ed Engler prints it except for a few, select four letter words. I attack no one personally. What I attack is someone’s views. I do it with sincerity and honesty. Sometimes I use satire to highlight the argument to make it more interesting. I have to use their name so people know who I am responding to. Using someone’s name does not make it personal IN
ANY WAY. IF someone sees it that way, they best STOP writing letters in a PUBLIC FORUM. I wrote numerous letters to the Sun savagely attacking the socialist views of Leo Sandy. Surprise? Leo SANDY and I are are GOOD FRIENDS. We share lunch together gregariously and frequently. Ditto for Ed Allard, a cog of the Democratic Party. I have lunched with Ed numerous times. I enjoy the company of both men. They learn from me, I learn from them. When Leo writes to a PUBLIC FORUM he is FAIR GAME to have his views CHALLENGED with the strongest LOGIC and language possible. Why? Because Leo is trying to INFLUENCE PUBLIC OPINION. IT is MY OBLIGATION as a concerned, well-read, well-resumed and informed citizen to question and challenge his ideas or any ones ideas that I believe are MERITLESS and or HARMFUL by my measure. I always do it with facts and reasoning. MY logic becomes “fair game” for others to challenge. What I have found is MOST people who write to The SUN do not want a spirited debate with facts and logic on anything. MOST ESPECIALLY OBAMACARE. They just want to PREACH and DEMONIZE the RICH from the SOCIALIST GOSPEL, using The SUN as their pulpit. My question. Where has that gotten us I ask? Answer, record FAILURE by EVERY MEASURE. Do those failed results change their message. NOPE, THEY ONLY GET LOUDER and more ANGRY at those who succeed. Here is my offer to the donkeys. When they repeal Obamacare, agree to balance the budget, stop spending more than is taken in from tax revenue and address the trillions of underfunding for Medicare and Social Security I will stop capitalizing and attacking the absolute INSANITY of their thinking. The odds of that happening are slim when you consider the I.Q. of these folks is to vote for more hemorrhoids when given an alternative. Tony Boutin Gilford

you, I am getting so sick and tired of socialist, central-planning types telling me and others what is good for me and how I should live my life. Oh by the way Professor Golomb, when you stated that industrial carbon pollution is causing “more destructive and deadly extreme weather and rising global temperatures”, you are telling flat out lies as scare tactics to further the much discredited environmentalist movement, in my opinion. The facts show just the opposite and I’m betting you know that as well. If not, try reading articles by Bjorn Lomborg, Richard Lindzen, Joe Bastardi, John Christy and Roy Spencer. Professor Golomb teaches our children. Let’s hope he keeps an open mind, loves critical thinkers and relishes diversity of thought and opinions. Russ Wiles Tilton

This is a direct result of climate change policies which have resulted in skyrocketing electric bills and soaring transportation costs. Just another example of liberal policies killing innocent people, based on little more than good intentions (see outlawing of DDT, Silent Spring and the horrible deaths of millions of Africans). More individual, human sacrifices for the “collectivist good”. The only global warming lately has been the direct result of liberal elitists’ exhaling their desire to control the great unwashed.

Laconia candidates stress controlling spending & economic development at Weirs forum By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Candidates for mayor and City Council stressed the importance of controlling spending and encouraging economic development at a candidates’ forum in Weirs Beach last night. About 20 people turned out for the two-hour event held just 12 days before the Nov. 5 city election. The forum was hosted by Weirs Action Committee and moderated by Niel Young. Mayoral candidates Edward Engler and Kaileif Mitchell emphasized the importance of economic opportunity – an issue which has been a key theme of both men’s campaigns. Engler said that Laconia needs to have the kind of jobs that will attract people to the area. Mitchell said helping the city become a more popular tourist destination was his top priority. “I’m more concerned about tourism, concerned about the Weirs and downtown,” he said Both Engler and Mitchell are seeking to succeed Mayor Mike Seymour, who is not running for reelection. Others participating in the forum held at Weirs Community Center were Ward 2 council candidate Richard Beaudoin, who is running against David Bownes, who did not attend; Ward 3 Councilor Henry Lipman, who is unopposed; Ward 5 Councilor Bob Hamel and his challenger Tom Tardif; and Ward 6 Councilor Armand Bolduc and his opponent Anthony Felch. Ward 1 Councilor Ava Doyle and Ward 4 Councilor Brenda Baer, who are both running unopposed, did not attend. Mitchell said one way to give the city’s touristbased economy a boost would be to put a casino in Weirs Beach, which he said would bring 500 jobs. He said he did not believe that a casino would cause the kind of crime problems that opponents of expanded gambling claim. Engler said that Laconia’s future depends on demographics and economic vitality. “We have an aging and graying population. Here in New Hampshire we have an internal conflict between economic vitality and keeping the state the way it’s always been. Part of the way it’s always been is that we have a lot of poor people. That means we need better paying jobs, and more white-collar jobs,” Engler said. While acknowledging that Laconia has lost manufacturing jobs during the last 20 to 30 years, Lipman noted signs of a rebound in that sector of the city’s economy, pointing to Aavid Thermalloy’s decision to move its corporate headquarters back to Laconia and to New Hampshire Ballbearing adding to its workforce. “There’s a lot that is positive going on here in Laconia,” Lipman said. Both mayoral candidates, along with candidates for council, talked about the need to keep city spending under control in order to keep tax increases to a minimum. Both Hamel and Lipman said the council has been able to keep increases in city spending to less than what is allowed under the city’s tax cap. But Tardif said that the council needed to be more frugal and
POT BUSH from page 5 Three fifty-six Laconia Road is three single-wide trailers shaped in a “U” pattern. Mann said each apartment is one half of a trailer. When asked if police found anything in the yards and common areas outside Robertson’s apartment, he said no. Mann said Robertson is scheduled to appear in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division December 5. He said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges and or arrests may be forthcoming. This is the second reasonably large marijuana growing operation busted by police in the Lakes Region in as many weeks. Last week, Gilford Police arrested two people who had allegedly utilized a 3-car garage on Governors Island in what police said was a fairly sophisticated marijuana and hashish operation.
said that if elected he would fight to level-fund the budget. All candidates said they supported the tax cap. One issue all candidates said would have serious impact on city taxes is the proposal to build a new $43 million county jail. And all said the next mayor and council needed to press county officials and the County Delegation to come up with a less expensive alternative. Mitchell called the $43 million price tag “astronomically high” and said space could be added for much less by building a second floor to the current facility. Engler said as mayor he would take a lead in getting the county to come up with a less expensive proposal. “The tax cap includes the county tax which we have no control over, he said. “Laconia pays 20 percent of the county tax bill. We cannot allow a break
in the tax cap because of the county budget.” He said that Laconia would have to pay $500,000 a year just for the debt service on the bond for $43 million corrections facility. Hamel said the cost of the new jail building was not his only concern. He also objected to plans to add staff at a cost of $2.2 million to $2.3 million a year. “That is something that is going to stick there after the bond (on a new jail) is paid,” he said. Most candidates said they would support efforts that would encourage the revitalization of downtown, Lakeport and Weirs Beach. They lamented the condition of the Colonial Theater building, but said the city should not get involved in any major way to redevelop the property. The City Council has approved the establishment of Tax Increment Financing – or TIF – districts in the downtown and Lakeport and is considering see next page lo w m o r tg ag e r at e s w h i l e t h e y l a s t

$5k cash bail set for man accused of choking girlfriend LACONIA — A local man was ordered held on $5,000 cash-only bail for allegedly choking and slapping his girlfriend during an argument Tuesday morning. Police affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said Nathan Scaringi, 28, of 613 Main St. Apt. 15 also took the victim’s cell phone from her and put it in his pocket when she told him she was going to call the police. Police said they responded to the apartment building at 9:43 a.m. after being called by a neighbor who reported she could hear what she said was Scaringi assaulting the victim. When police arrived, they said the victim was on the first floor and had red marks on her face and neck. The victim told officers that Scaringi allegedly pushed her down on the couch, got on top of her, and put his hands around her neck. She said she couldn’t talk or breathe. After he stopped choking her, she said he allegedly slapped her twice. When one of the neighbors knocked on the door, the victim said Scaringi opened the door and spoke with her. Once he shut the door, the victim said he “threw” her on the couch a second from preceding page

whether to establish a third district in Weirs Beach. Most support the concept under which a portion of the additional revenue that comes from property improvements in the district can only be used for infrastructure improvements in that district. But Tardif said he was opposed to the TIF mechanism, which he considered another form of urban renewal. Engler said initiatives to revitalize the downtown or other parts of the city needed to have broad popular consensus and should not be undertaken just because of special interests. “If we want to make an effort to improve a certain area of town for all our benefit, that’s appropriate,” IMMIGRATION from page 2 tunity for collaboration with Republicans seeking to repair their image, which polls show took a hit during the prolonged fight over financing the government and extending the nation’s borrowing limit. Moreover, Obama made a point of underscoring support for an immigration bill from the members of the business community, traditional Republican allies who criticized GOP tactics that led to the partial shutdown and to brinkmanship over a potentially economy-jarring default on U.S. debt. The White House took notice when Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, indicated on Wednesday that he was hopeful that immigration legislation could be done before year’s end. But Republican strategists also say the most opportune time to act might not come until after next year’s 2014 primary elections, when lawmakers will be freer to vote without fear of having to run against a more conservative challenger. And while Obama called for the House to pass a large bill that could then be reconciled with the Senate version, House Republicans want to approach any
time and strangled her again “harder.” Others in the building told police they heard the two arguing before police arrived. They said they heard loud “smack” and heard the victim yell “get your hands off me!” In court yesterday, the city prosecutor asked for $15,000 cash bail saying Scaringi has two previous convictions for simple assault as well as three convictions for witness tampering for which he is still on probation. He said those convictions were also domestic violence related. Scaringi’s defense argued that Scaringi was “indigent” and would lose his job if he couldn’t get to work. She said three of his coworkers were in court and all of them told her that he was a valued employee. She said he could post $500 cash and that would represent his entire check, giving him a reason to not flee the jurisdiction. She also said the victim was not at Scaringi’s apartment any longer and Scaringi would agree to a no-contact order. Before setting bail at $5,000 cash only, Judge Jim Carroll said he was particularly concerned with the three convictions for witness tampering. — Gail Ober he said. Lipman said that while it is important for the city to do everything it can to save money it also needs to do things to invest in the city’s future. The issue of mandatory recycling versus pay-asyou-throw as a way to reduce the city trash collection costs dominated the first part of the forum. All the candidates said they now support the mandatory recycling program which went into effect this summer. But Felch said he would push for another look at pay-as-you throw if the recycling program was not meeting its goals. The city election is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
changes in piecemeal fashion, a process that at best would push any significant progress into next year. Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said Thursday that the House “will not consider any massive, Obamacare-style legislation that no one understands.” He said the House is committed to a deliberate, “step-by-step approach.” “Obviously, there is no appetite for one big bill,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart told a group of reporters Wednesday night. The Florida Republican, who had been a member of the unsuccessful bipartisan “gang of eight,” is working with other Republicans on a set of bills that would allow undocumented immigrants to “get right with the law.” Diaz-Balart avoided using the word “legalization” because it has become so politically fraught. Arguments that the issue is a political drag on the GOP that will undermine the party’s chances in the 2016 presidential election have failed to sway rank-and-file Republicans, who are responding to the demands of base GOP voters in their districts rather than the nation’s changing demographics.

Rotonnelli goes ‘over the hill’ as Inter-Lakes shuts out Newport The Inter-Lakes girls’ varsity soccer won its final home game yesterday vs Newport 4-0. Kenzi Giroux had some big saves for the shutout. Caitlin Rotonnelli joined the Over the Hill club turning in her 40th goal for the season. Rotonnelli scored the game’s first goal 13 minutes into the game with an assist from Charlotte Morrow. Three minutes later Morrow scored her own goal with an assist from Sarah Dunlap. Madelyn Edgar connected with Rotonnelli for the third goal of the half. In the second half a solid pass from Morrow let Rotonnelli take a left footed blast into the corner of the net for her 3rd goal of the game and 11th hat trick of the season. Great all around effort from seniors Caitlyn Curran, Natalie Johnson, Reilly Donovan. Lakers improve to 11-4 with their final game at Gilford on Friday.

SPORTS Back-to-back wins for Sant Bani soccer squad After a string of tough losses earlier in the month, the Sant Bani soccer team achieved its second straight win on Saturday, outscoring Kimball Union Academy’s JV3 team 7-1. The 3-0 halftime lead gave Sant Bani coach Todd Schongalla some flexibility with his younger players, inserting freshman Sam McLaughlin into the net. “Sam will likely be our #1 keeper next season and the more playing time we can give him now, the better.” Schongalla also praised the defensive work of freshman defender Lindsey Tarbin and sophomore midfielder Connor Lemay, who had a couple of great shots on goal and an assist in the second half. Sant Bani senior Harrison Evans took credit for four goals on the afternoon; rounding out the scoring were juniors Mohamed Sapry and Ander Trevino Aizpurua and senior midfielder Caio Thielen. KUA denied Sant Bani’s attempt for their second shutout of the season with a late goal in the 76th minute. Sant Bani travels on Wednesday, playing Vermont Academy for the first time. San Bani’s season record is now 6-4-1.

WARD 6 from page one years,” he remarked. After a failed write-in campaign in Ward 6 two years ago, Felch said this year he has worked hard to overcome the advantage of an entrenched incumbent. “I’ve been putting out signs and knocking on doors,” he said. Both candidates are eying the recycling program closely, hoping it will meet the projected reduction in the cost of collecting and disposing of solid waste. Bolduc said that mandatory recycling was “the best choice we had and it’s going great.” He said that the council respected the opposition to a Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) program, but “put the onus on to the taxpayers to recycle. They’ve seen that it isn’t that difficult,” he said.. If mandatory recycling reaches the goal, Felch said “I’m all for it, but it it doesn’t, I’d support PAYT, but only if the savings were taken off the tax burden.” He believes that the program would be more successful and return greater savings if recyclable materials were collected weekly and that the city should seek a workable arrangement in negotiating a new collection contract. Felch welcomed the prospect of the city investing in the construction of the WOW Trail. “It’s just going to take forever if it’s left to the private sector,” he said. Bolduc said that although he supports the project, he remains concerned about safety on the trail and liability to the city. “The best solution is a chain link fence,” he said. Bolduc recognized the concerns of residents of South Down Shores, who have amassed a legal fund to keep the trail from crossing the development. “I understand why they feel that way,”
he said, adding that he has considered “a couple of alternative routes.” The two agree that the city should pursue the redevelopment of the former Laconia State School in partnership with the state. Bolduc stressed the importance of securing so-called Risley Field, some 60 acres in the northwest corner of the property adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex, which provides parking space for the facility. Bolduc said the renovation and expansion of Central Fire Station on North Main Street is “at the top of my agenda.” He said that with the construction of the police station and middle school, together with the expansion of the Huot Technical Center and renovations at the high school, “there is one place left to go — the fire station.” Downtown redevelopment is high among Felch’s priorities. He said that city officials should work in tandem with the Belknap Economic Development Council (BEDC), following the example of Keene and Monadnock Economic Development Corporation. “We need to think big,” he said, suggesting that the BEDC acquire “the worst building, attack it and proceed one piece at a time.” Felch is also bent on eliminating the primary election. This year 548 of the 9,619 registered voters, or 6 percent, cast ballots and one candidate for mayor and another for city council were eliminated at a cost of $10,000. “Getting rid of the primary will save us $10,000 every two years,” he said. “It’s time for a change.”
TAP from page 2 “The United States of America and Europe face common challenges. We are allies,” the German leader said. “But such an alliance can only be built on trust. That’s why I repeat again: spying among friends, that cannot be.” The White House may soon face other irked heads of state and government. The British newspaper The Guardian said Thursday it obtained a confidential memo suggesting the NSA was able to monitor 35 world leaders’ communications in 2006. The memo said the NSA encouraged senior officials at the White House, Pentagon and other agencies to share their contacts so the spy agency could add foreign leaders’ phone numbers to its surveillance systems, the report said. The Guardian did not identify who reportedly was eavesdropped on, but said the memo termed the payoff very meager: “Little reportable intelligence” was obtained, it said. Other European leaders arriving for the 28-nation meeting echoed Merkel’s displeasure. Swedish Prime
Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called it “completely unacceptable” for a country to eavesdrop on an allied leader. If reports that Merkel’s cellphone had been tapped are true, “it is exceptionally serious,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told national broadcaster NOS. “We want the truth,” Italian Premier Enrico Letta told reporters. “It is not in the least bit conceivable that activity of this type could be acceptable.” Echoing Merkel, Austria’s foreign minister, Michael Spindelegger, said, “We need to re-establish with the U.S. a relationship of trust, which has certainly suffered from this.” France, which also vocally objected to allies spying on each other, asked that the issue of reinforcing Europeans’ privacy in the digital age be added to the agenda of the two-day summit. Before official proceedings got underway, Merkel held a brief one-on-one with French President Francois Hollande, and discussed the spying controversy.

MUTUAL AID from page one property valuation of the county and paid through the county property tax. Next year the municipalities of Belknap County will also be billed directly based on the formula applied by the LRMFAA. The commissioners responded to a letter from the Gilford selectmen seeking assurance that since the appropriation for the LRMFAA would not be included in the county budget, the total appropriations “will reflect this reduction so that all of the municipalities affected will be the beneficiary of a county tax savings to offset, in so much as possible, the municipal tax rate increases that will be necessary to fund LRMFAA operations.” The selectmen acknowledged that other factors may affect county expenditures, but sought a commitment that the commissioners recognize the need to reduce the county tax rate by an amount “commensurate” with the increase in municipal tax rates. In reply, the commissioners reminded the selectmen that when the municipalities of Belknap County are billed directly, Gilford is one of the four whose contribution to the LRMFAA’s budget will shrink. They went on to say that “to ensure that the entire county budget will be level funded and then further reduced by more than half a million dollars, would be irresponsible.” The commissioners note that county
appropriations have not risen since 2008 and fell significantly this year. As a result, they continued, the county has been able to main or reduce the tax burden for the past five years. “We would certainly like to continue that record,” the commissioners declared, but explained that the costs of the services the county is required to provide, most of which are increasing. have yet to be determined. When the municipalities of Belknap County are billed directly by the LRMFAA their relative shares of the agency’s budget will change. This year the the 11 municipalities together paid $554,037, distributed as follows: Alton $81,048, Barnstead $27,350, Belmont $34,381, Center Harbor $22,457, Gilford $88,631, Gilmanton $25,680, Laconia $106,731, Meredith $100,545, New Hampton $17,528, Sanbornton $22,072 and Tilton $27,614. Billed directly, according to the formula applied by the LRMFAA, four towns — all with extensive waterfront — would have paid less while Laconia and six towns would have paid more. The assessment to Alton would have been reduced by $18,922, to Center Harbor by $4,721, to Gilford by $14,326 and to Meredith by $25,445. On the other hand, the assessment to Laconia would have risen by $17,606, to Barnstead by $9,206, to Belmont by $18,290, to Gilmanton by $6,237, to New Hampton by $3,372, to Sanbornton by $4,527 and to Tilton by $4,176.
BRIARCRST from page one Residents met at the suggestion of attorney Phil McLaughlin, who has been retained those opposed to cooperative ownership and management of the park. He explained that there are two parties to the litigation, the park owners and the cooperative. The law, he said, effectively vests the cooperative with the right to represent all the residents and does not provide those opposed to the cooperative an opportunity to be heard. In this case, McLaughlin said, “the law does not allow for the majority to be heard.” McLaughlin said that he intends to ask the court to allow the residents who prefer commercial to cooperative ownership to intervene, effectively serving as witnesses on behalf of the Mooneys. He said that 10 residents had already agreed to approach the court and the only remaining question was how many others would join them on the petition that was signed last night. He specified that only one person from each household sign the petition. Speaking for the group Daphne
Towle said that in addition to the 107 who have signed the petition, she is assured of at least another 25 signatures by Monday. The 132 would represent 56.8 percent of the 232 occupied sites in the park. The petition reads that the signatories prefer commercial to cooperative ownership and management because the cooperative does not represent the preferences of residents, current management is superior, commercial management is in the best interest of residents, and lease costs are stable and provide proven value. In addition, it contends that the increased costs or reduced services if the cooperative must service $10 million in debt “is something we never bargained for and do not want.” McLaughlin indicated that he would question what the statute intends by requiring the park owners to bargain in good faith when it fails to provide for the opinions of longstanding residents to be heard. He said he expects to present the petition to the court by the end of next week.
TWEET from page 2 The company’s valuation is conservative. Some analysts had expected the figure to be as high as $20 billion. Back in August Twitter priced some of its employee stock options at $20.62, based on an appraisal by an investment firm. Other publicly traded companies in the $12 billion range include tool maker Stanley Black & Decker and pharmaceutical company Forest Laboratories. LinkedIn Corp., meanwhile, stands around $27 billion based on its closing stock price Thursday. Twitter’s caution suggests that the company learned from Facebook’s rocky initial public offering last year. Rather than set expectations too high,
likely raise its price range closer to the IPO, and thus fuel demand. Facebook’s IPO was marred by technical glitches on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in May of 2012. As a result, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined Nasdaq $10 million, the largest ever levied against an exchange. Those problems likely led Twitter to the NYSE. Last week, Twitter disclosed that it lost $65 million in the third quarter, three times as much as in the same period a year earlier. It was the company’s biggest quarterly loss since 2010. Founded in 2006, Twitter has never posted a profit, but its revenue is growing.

Land Trust awarded tax credits to sell
LACONIA — The Laconia Area Community Land Trust (LACLT) has been awarded $500,000 in tax credits to sell by New Hampshire’s Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA). The proceeds from the sale to business donors will be used to upgrade 60 units of permanently affordable rental housing owned by LACLT, many of which are showing significant wear and tear. Twenty years ago, the Laconia Area Community Land Trust began rehabbing scattered-site apartments in Laconia. Five years later, LACLT finished its first major project – a $1.4 million revitalization of the city’s Avery Hill neighborhood. Pine Hill and other Land Trust projects quickly followed. Now LACLT is working on a Portfolio Strengthening Initiative for these properties, which for years have provided safe, well-managed homes for hundreds of people while increasing property values and tax revenue. Because LACLT remains committed to preserving these permanently affordable community assets, the aging units need a capital infusion to position them for success for the next two decades. Statewide, more than $4.1 million was recently awarded through the CDFA Tax Credit Program. Twentythree community projects throughout the state sought tax credit funding; 10 initiatives were approved. LACLT’s Portfolio Strengthening Initiative was one of only three applications awarded
its full request. Awards made to these organizations are tax credits, not cash. The Tax Credit Program enables businesses to donate to LACLT in exchange for a state tax credit that can be applied against the New Hampshire business profits, business enterprise, or insurance premium taxes. The state tax credit is equal to 75% of that contribution. In addition, the contribution may be treated as a charitable deduction to the the extent the federal laws allow. Tax credit may be carried forward during a five-year period. After both state and federal tax benefits are accounted for, a contribution of $10,000 actually costs the company less that 11% or $1,100. LACLT is responsible for securing donations/ pledges from for-profit companies with a New Hampshire state tax liability. CDFA, created by legislation in 1983, is a nonprofit public instrumentality of the State of New Hampshire. CDFA administers nearly $57 million in funding resources, which includes a combination of state Tax Credits and federal Community Development Block Grant, Neighborhood Stabilization, and Energy Reduction Funds. CDFA supports the development of vibrant and resilient communities by providing resources for community development efforts. For more information about purchasing tax credits from LACLT in support of their Portfolio Strengthening Initiative contact Hope Jordan at 603-524-0747, or visit www.laclt.org.

Examples include the enhancement of an event or attraction, development of an event or attraction, outstanding marketing/ promotion of a related achievement that had an economic impact by bringing visitors to the area. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse, established by Bryan and Johanna Halperin and Neil and Lesley Pankhurst, has contributed greatly to the performing arts culture of the Lakes
Region since their opening in 2004. In addition to putting on year-round professional productions, the Playhouse also hosts community and children’s theatre programs. In 2013, the Winnipesaukee Playhouse opened its newly remodeled 194-seat theatre at the former Annalee factory in Meredith.

Jason Lyon (Courtesy photo)
PLYMOUTH — Two Ashland residents are among seven people recently recognized by the Plymouth State University Alumni Association for their professional success within the campus community and the Lakes Region. Jason Lyon received the Distinguished Alumni Service Award recognizes the graduate who through unselfish devotion and loyalty has served Plymouth State University. Lyon, class of ‘94 and CEO of the Common Man Family of Restaurants, is a current board member of the national Council of Hotel and Restaurant Trainers, focusing on member education. He is also on the executive committee of the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association (NHLRA), serving as Vice President of Lodging. Lyon is also a member of the New Hampshire Youth Council, appointed by former Governor John Lynch, and works with fellow members towards the council’s mission of sustaining and improving New Hampshire’s competitiveness in the global market by developing a skilled and flexible workforce.
Lyon also is one of the organizers of the popular Common Man Apprentice program, which requires business students to form “companies” and develop and market a new flavor of ice cream. Lyon has served as a mentor to more than 1,000 Plymouth State students since the inception of the Apprentice program in 2005, inspiring many students – and many great ice cream flavors. Terri Dautcher is the recipient of the Faculty/Staff Award of Excellence, which is awarded to a PSU faculty or staff member who exhibits a commitment to supporting alumni and student connections in a campus environment. She exemplifies this commitment through creativity she employs in her courses, and in her commitment that goes above and beyond the outlines of job description and the boundaries of the academic calendar. Dautcher has been on the faculty of PSU’s College of Business since 2007. Her work with Plymouth State students is shaped by 25 years of corporate experience in a broad range of service-sector industries. She now teaches marketing and professional development classes at both the graduate and undergraduate level. Experiential opportunities are the hallmark of Dautcher’s teaching, and perhaps nothing exemplifies this as well as the Annual Chili Cook-off, which was developed by her Event Marketing class. This event has quickly become a campus and community tradition. Competitors include local businesses and alumni groups, along with students, faculty, and staff members, and it’s a must-attend event for students and community members.
Dentist takes a stand against sweets this Halloween GILFORD — One area dental practice is redefining the phrase “put your money where your mouth is.” This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Children’s Dentistry of the Lakes Region and receive $1 per pound. Dr. Melissa Kennell and Dr. Matthew Smith are leading this antidecay movement by giving away dollars in exchange for cavity-provoking candy. “Ditch the candy, that’s what we’re saying. Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost,” says Dr. Kennell from Chil-

Please no bites. It will then be shipped to troops overseas.

Liquor stores collecting donations for N.H. Food Bank CONCORD — The New Hampshire Liquor Commission (NHLC) is currently collecting nonperishable food donations for the New Hampshire Food Bank at all of its 77 New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlet stores throughout the state. This is the second year that the stores will serve as collection points for the New Hampshire Food Bank. Collections will run now through December 31. The New Hampshire Food Bank is a program of New Hampshire Catholic Charities and is the state’s only food bank. The Food Bank relies on donations to serve more than 140,000 New Hampshire residents who are hungry. Specially-designated collection boxes will be prominently placed in each store to accept non-perishable donations of the following items: Canned soups, vegetables, fruit and proteins such as tuna and chicken; all types of boxed pasta; pasta sauce; packaged macaroni and cheese; ramen noodles; and peanut butter and jelly. “We appreciate this continued partnership with the New Hampshire Liquor Commission,” said Mel Gosselin, Executive Director at the New Hampshire Food Bank. “The need for food assistance in New
Hampshire is greater than many can imagine – one in nine individuals and more than 40,000 children under age 18 are considered food insecure. Donations from the public are crucial to helping us provide meals to people throughout our state.” Joseph W. Mollica, Chairman, New Hampshire Liquor Commission said, “The New Hampshire Food Bank helps provide essential nourishment to thousands of New Hampshire residents who are nutritionally in need. We are committed to doing our part to help the Food Bank meet this significant challenge, and proud that our New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets will once again serve as collection points for food donations.” The New Hampshire Food Bank has been working to relieve hunger in the Granite State since 1985. In 2012, the Food Bank distributed more than 8 million pounds of food through 400 partner agencies and nearly 150 mobile food pantries. Agencies include food pantries, neighborhood centers, low-income housing sites, senior nutrition centers, family crisis centers, hospices, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, after school programs and day care centers.

may intimidate those around you or inspire a kind of fight in them that you’ll later wish wasn’t there. Approach gingerly. Feel things out. Be tender. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your airsign energy will be amplified now. One could call you the Lord of the Winds and Breezes, as you seem to be able to will the winds of fate to blow in the direction that most pleases you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What looked mighty fine from far away will reveal itself to be otherwise close up. But don’t let that stop you from enjoying a beautiful view. Just keep it all at a lovely distance. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 25). You identify with the misfits, and this very same group will help you rule the mainstream. November shows you running things. December and July are financial highs. February highlights your tie with an affectionate someone. Trying to do things the easy way will lead to mistakes. Go for integrity in all things.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Courage is contagious. When you take a stand, much good will come of it. That which you stand for will be fortified, and others will be emboldened to stand beside you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone with more maturity and experience has a lot to teach you. Don’t discount all that you might teach this person in return. There’s a chance you could come up with an extremely beneficial barter. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll have great affection for each of the roles you play throughout the day. The real you is the one adaptive enough to wear this many hats and juggle them, too! CANCER (June 22-July 22). Much is riding on your ideas. You don’t have to be a genius to be the smartest one in the room. You just have to have the answer that no one else does. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s hard to experience your own uniqueness as an individual because you’re with yourself all of the time. That’s why it’s easy to fall in love with the person who helps you see it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel resistant to the changes you didn’t instigate. You’re not being stubborn, just cautious. Someone has to be the one to question authority, and right now it’s you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If others lose patience and stamina, it doesn’t matter to you. You’ll keep on keeping on with or without them. You’ll see results because you believe enough to stick with it until the end. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are three symbols most prominently associated with your sign: the scorpion, the eagle and the phoenix. The thing they all have in common is an aggressive instinct. Today you’ll use that well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Selfdiscipline doesn’t usually come easily to you, but you are able to muster more than usual today as you work toward constructively channeling your considerable power. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 25, 2013
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Oct. 25, the 298th day of 2013. There are 67 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 25, 1910, “America the Beautiful,” with words by Katharine Lee Bates and music by Samuel A. Ward, was first published. On this date: In 1760, Britain’s King George III succeeded his late grandfather, George II. In 1854, the “Charge of the Light Brigade” took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men, facing hopeless odds, charged the Russian army and suffered heavy losses. In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown went on trial in Charles Town, Va., for his failed raid at Harpers Ferry. (Brown was convicted and hanged.) In 1912, the song “My Melancholy Baby” by Ernie Burnett and George Norton was first published under the title “Melancholy.” Country comedian Minnie Pearl was born Sarah Ophelia Colley in Centerville, Tenn. In 1918, the Canadian steamship Princess Sophia foundered off the coast of Alaska; some 350 people perished. In 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall was convicted in Washington, D.C. of accepting a $100,000 bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000; he ended up serving nine months.) In 1945, Taiwan became independent of Japanese colonial rule. In 1957, mob boss Albert Anastasia of “Murder Inc.” notoriety was shot to death in a barber shop inside the Park Sheraton Hotel in New York. In 1960, the Bulova Watch Co. introduced its electronic “Accutron” model. In 1962, U.S. ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson presented evidence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba to the U.N. Security Council. In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan. In 1982, the situation comedy “Newhart,” starring Bob Newhart as a Vermont innkeeper, premiered on CBS. In 1983, a U.S.-led force invaded Grenada at the order of President Ronald Reagan, who said the action was needed to protect U.S. citizens there. Ten years ago: Thousands of anti-war protesters rallied in the nation’s capital and delivered a scathing critique of President George W. Bush and his Iraq policy. Five years ago: Arkansas television anchorwoman Anne Pressly, 26, died five days after she was found beaten in her home. Game 3 of the World Series began in Philadelphia at 10:06 p.m. Eastern time after being delayed by rain; the Phillies went on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, for a 2-1 Series lead in a matchup that finished at 1:47 a.m. One year ago: Fundraising reports showed that contributions for the 2012 presidential race had topped $2 billion, with President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney bringing in a total of about $1.7 billion and the rest coming in to super PACs and other groups.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 25, 2013— Page 23
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am a 44-year-old woman in a quandary. I have been married for 21 years to a good man who is nine years my senior. He is supportive and affectionate. Most women would be satisfied. He plays the lottery more often than we can afford, but other than that, he’s a kind man. He is also a terrific, loving father to our two teenage boys. Here’s my problem: Six months ago, I got in touch with my first young love through Facebook. We became comfortable chatting and texting. We eventually met face to face, and there was an instant attraction. We now text daily and talk on the phone at least once a week. We also get together once a month to go hiking. We have hugged and kissed, but haven’t had sex. He feels that would be crossing a line that could never be erased. But we are both slowly giving in to our desire for each other. Our marriages are at a crossroads. Neither of us is intimate with our spouse. My family is completely unaware that I am in love with my childhood sweetheart. Do I follow my head and stay in a safe, stale marriage? I love my husband, but I am not in love with him and haven’t been for years. I would, of course, wait for my sons to go off to college before changing my life. Do you have any advice for me? -- In Love With Another Man Dear In Love: Imagine your husband reconnecting with an old flame and deciding to leave you because you aren’t exciting anymore. Wouldn’t you want the opportunity to discuss it? To point out how it would hurt the children? To help him understand that 21 years together should mean something? We can assure you that six months of playing kissy-face is not the same as a day-to-day marriage. It’s easy to put effort and romance into a fling and believe it’s going to be like that forever. We understand that you are bored, but this is
disrespectful to your marriage and your husband. Get counseling. See whether you can fix what’s making you unhappy before you make a mess of several lives, including your own. Dear Annie: Could you please educate people about the dangers of tossing their babies and toddlers up in the air? -- Father of Five Dear Dad: Forceful or violent shaking, bouncing and tossing can cause brain or spinal damage in infants. This is known as shaken baby syndrome. However, very gentle tossing (less than a foot in the air) is usually safe, provided you don’t drop the child or hit his head on the ceiling or a light fixture, which happens more often than you might think. Pediatricians are divided on what age is OK, but the more conservative say to wait until the child is at least 2 years old. Dear Annie: “Puzzled in Gary, Ind.” asked why lesbians are attracted to older women with white hair. There could be another reason: the assumption that a woman is alone and might have assets to steal. This happened to my friend “Sue.” A pair of women began attending her church and wrangled an invitation to stay with Sue while “waiting for the paperwork to be finished on their new house.” They remained in their room when I visited. If I called, one of them answered the phone. If they left the house, they took Sue with them. After two weeks, Sue knocked on my door, quickly put her Bible in my hands and rushed back. In the Bible was a short note asking me to help her because she was afraid of her “guests.” I promptly called Sue’s son and daughter, who came to evict the intruders. These women had been trying to “help Sue” with her finances and were working on having their names added to her accounts. -- California

PSNH grant will fund message board to promote Northfield businesses “One of our goals is to increase the profile of both the town and its businesses” said NEDC president Keith Murray. “We are grateful for PSNH’s support of this endeavor.” He noted that grant will help provide funds for a message board on Rt. 132 that will be used to promote Northfield businesses and help defray cost of ‘Welcome to Northfield’ signs, which will be especially useful along the town’s main business corridor, Rt. 140. “Because Northfield shares the
03276 zip code commercial developers and visitors do not always realize that when they cross the Winnipesaukee River they have entered a different town and a different county” said Murray, “Thanks to PSNH we will be able to address this problem.” “PSNH is pleased to be able to assist the Northfield Economic Development Corporation with promoting their community and enhancing economic development”, said Donna Keeley, Community Relations Specialist.
