Pediatrics at LRGH being integrated into another unit of hospital

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Officials of LRGHealthcare yesterday were quick to dispel rumors that they were shrinking pediatric services offered at Lakes Region General Hospital.

Speaking for the nonprofit company, Natalie Rudzinskyj flatly denied suggestions that pediatrics services would be curtailed while acknowledging that they would be “restructured” beginning on October 30. She said that the dedicated pediatrics unit at the hospital would be closed, but emphasized that the full range of pediatric care would be sustained in another medical-surgical unit, where young patients will be housed in a designated area.

Noting that LRGH routinely transfers patients with critical needs to DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center or other appropriate facilities, Rudzsee LRGH page 10

Forsythe rolls to easy win over Hurt in Senate 4 primary

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Jim Forsythe held a commanding 651 vote lead over George Hurt and David Bickford in the race for the Republican nomination for the District 4 seat in the New Hampshire Senate with only the tallies from his hometown of Strafford and Tilton outstanding at press time last night.

Forsythe polled 2,818 votes, Hurt 2,167 and Bickford 758.

Forsythe said that unofficial results

indicated he carried Strafford by more than 300 votes, which would boost his margin to near 1,000 votes.

Of the three, Forsythe ran by far the best financed, most methodical and most aggressive campaign.

Jim Forsythe He estimated he spent some $65,000, nearly six times more

than Hurt and 60 times more than Bickford. Four glossy mailings were sent to the homes of all registered Republicans in the district as well as to undeclared voters with a record of voting in Republican primaries.

Some 2,500 Republican and undeclared voters received phone calls while other “targeted mailings” were aimed at voters affiliated with organizations with prin and objectives akin to those of the candidate.

Above all, beginning in February, Forsythe mounted a door-to-door canvassing see SENATE 4 page 12

Forrester looks like GOP winner in Senate 2 By gail oBeR

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Early Tuesday morning Jeanie Forrester said she had knocked on 793 doors during her campaign against New Hampton Rep. Fran Wendelboe.

While not all of the doors were in her home town of Meredith, the 770 votes she garnered in her own backyard were probably enough to earn her a victory over Wendelboe in Tuesday’s Republican Second District 2 primary.

Wendelboe received 389 votes in Meredith — the largest community in the district and needed to overcome Forrester’s hometown advantage.

Plymouth and Bristol voters also went decidedly for Forrester.

As of midnight, race between 2 for GOP U.S. Senate nod is too close to call

$30,500 for fire protection for weekend coverage of the event, which is expected to draw close to 100,000 NASCAR race fans.

That’s $41,500 less than the town received last September.

“We’re also getting the full amount for the June race security costs,” Maxfield said, noting the town received a check for $70,300 Friday after the agreement, which had been

hammered out at a Thursday meeting with Speedway officials, was completed.

The Speedway had paid the town $86,000 in August, representing the amount it had offered to pay before June’s Lenox Industrial Tools 301 — $65,000 for police and $21,000 for fire protection. The Speedway based those costs on an alternate security see SPEEDWAY page 11

Working while sick?

CHICAGO (AP) — Junior doctors quickly learn that exposure to patients’ germs is part of the job, but a study suggests many are returning the favor. More than half of doctors in training said in a survey that they’d shown up sick to work, and almost one-third said they’d done it more than once.

Misplaced dedication and fear of letting other doctors down are among reasons the researchers cited as possible explanations.

The researchers analyzed an anonymous survey of 537 medical residents at 12 hospitals around the country conducted last year by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

The results appear in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. Nearly 58 percent of the respondents said they’d worked at least once while sick and 31 percent said they’d worked more than once while sick in the previous year. About half said they hadn’t had time to see a doctor about their illness.

Dr. Thomas Nasca, the accreditation council’s CEO, said residents are trained to put patients’ needs above their own but also should recognize that if they’re sick, their patients’ would be better served by another doctor.

American woman freed by Iran is grateful, humbled

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– TOP OF THE NEWS––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The American woman released by Iran on Tuesday after more than a year in prison said she was grateful to Iran’s president for her freedom shortly before she boarded a flight to the Gulf sultanate of Oman where her mother greeted her with a warm embrace.

Iran freed Sarah Shourd, 32, after arrangements were made to satisfy Iran’s demand for a $500,000 bail. American officials said neither the U.S. government nor the family put up the money for the bail and they thanked U.S. ally Oman, which they said had played a critical, behind-thescenes role in securing Shourd’s release.

However, the case that has deepened strains between the U.S. and Iran was still far from resolved.

Shortly after announcing Shourd’s release, Iranian authorities said they are not considering the immediate release of the two Americans arrested with Shourd — her fiance Shane Bauer and their friend Josh Fattal. Iran has charged all three with spying, though their families say they were

innocent hikers arrested in a scenic mountain area along Iran’s border with Iraq.

“I want to really offer my thanks to everyone in the world, all of the governments, all of the people, that have been involved, and especially, particularly want to address President Ahmadinejad and all of the Iranian officials, the religious leaders, and thank them for this humanitarian gesture,” Shourd told Iran’s English-language Press TV at the airport before she flew out.

“I’m grateful and I’m very humbled by this moment,” she added. “I’ve learned a lot from women in the Middle East in this part of the world and I have a lot of respect for women and the tradition that surrounds them. I just want to assure you that my commitment to truth will not change. You know, when I go back to my country and I will never say anything but the truth to media and I will not succumb to any pressure.”

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Shourd was being released on

compassionate grounds because of health reasons. Her mother says she has serious medical problems, including a breast lump and precancerous cervical cells.

Shourd arrived in Oman on a private government jet after a flight of about two hours. She was greeted with an embrace from her mother and then, looking relaxed and smiling, they strolled arm-in-arm on their way out.

President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton both thanked Oman for its assistance and U.S. officials said Omani negotiators were key in the release. The Omanis worked with Swiss diplomats and the Iranian judiciary to win her freedom, particularly in resolving the issue of bail, the officials said.

Oman “in recent days and weeks became a key interlocutor to help us work this case with the Iranian government,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

“And we are very grateful to the role that Oman has played.”

French Senate passes ban on Muslim veils U.S. pounds Afghan militants from air PARIS (AP) — The French Senate has voted overwhelmingly for a bill banning the burqa-style Islamic veil everywhere from post offices to streets, in a final step toward a making it law.

The Senate voted 246 to 1 Tuesday in favor of the bill, which has already passed in the lower chamber, the National Assembly.

Any dissenters have 10 days to challenge the measure in the Constitutional Council watchdog, but that is considered unlikely.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Drone aircraft unleashed two missile attacks in a lawless tribal region on the Afghan border, making September the most intense period of U.S. strikes in Pakistan since they began in 2004, intelligence officials said.

The stepped-up campaign that included Tuesday’s strikes is focused on a small area of farming villages and mountainous, thickly forested terrain controlled by the Haqqani network, a ruthless American foe in Afghanistan, U.S. officials say. There is some evidence the network is being squeezed as a result, one official said. see AIR STRIKES page 8

Big night for tea party; upstart O’Donnell wins Senate primary in Deleware WASHINGTON (AP) — Virtually unknown a month ago, Christine O’Donnell rode a surge of support from tea party activists to victory in Delaware’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday night, dealing yet another setback to the GOP establishment in a campaign season full of them. A second insurgent trailed narrowly in a long, late count for the GOP nomination in New Hampshire.

O’Donnell defeated nine-term Rep. Mike Castle, a fixture in Delaware politics for a generation and a political moderate. Republican Party officials, who had touted him as their only hope for winning the seat in the fall, made clear as the votes were being

Stephen now only person standing in way of Lynch’s 4th term as governor

CONCORD (AP) — Touting his record of creating jobs, Democrat John Lynch passed the first hurdle Tuesday to winning an unprecedented fourth consecutive two-year term as New Hampshire governor, but he will have to defeat Republican John Stephen in November to do it.

“Together, we’ve guided our state through some of the toughest economic times in any of our memories and delivered real results for the people of New Hampshire. But there is more to do,” Lynch said in his victory speech in the Democratic primary.

Lynch called for bipartisan solutions to making government more efficient, controlling spending and balancing the state budget while still protecting education and health care for the elderly and children.

“We will keep moving New Hampshire forward with an economic plan that is getting our people back to work,” he said.

Lynch, 57, of Hopkinton, by a 4-to-1 margin in early returns defeated lesser-known state Rep. Timothy Robertson, 78, of Keene and former state Rep. Frank Sullivan, 72, of Manchester, in Tuesday’s primary.

In the GOP primary, Stephen, a former state health and human services commissioner, also beat three rivals with less money and name recognition by almost a 3-to-1 margin in early returns: state Rep. Frank Emiro, 65, of Londonderry; Dover businessman Jack Kimball, 63; and Karen Testerman, 66, a consultant from Franklin.

Stephen, 47, of Manchester, focused his primary campaign on criticizing Lynch as a bad manager who will leave the state with a huge budget deficit.

Stephen said he will cut spending and balance the budget without raising taxes. He also promises to cut taxes on business. Stephen told his victory celebration he would keep those promises.

“In the worst economy since the Great Depression, Governor Lynch was faced with choices to make and he walked away from making the tough decisions necessary to get spending under control,” Stephen said in his victory speech.

Stephen said he would use his veto pen to kill any new spending programs that reached his desk.

“No more kicking the can down the road and borrowing our way out of a problem and putting our children and grandchildren on the hook tomorrow for the lack of making tough decisions today,” he said.

Stephen was health and human services commissioner when Lynch was elected governor, but Lynch did not plan to re-appoint him when his term expired in 2007, so Stephen left to run for the GOP’s 1st District nomination in 2008.

He lost in the primary to Jeb Bradley, the same man who beat him for the nomination in 2002.

Before his appointment as commissioner, he was an assistant safety commissioner. He is now a business consultant.

Don Hartschorn, a 77-year-old retired letter carrier from Concord who’s an undeclared voter, said he voted for Stephen. “He’s the only one out there who supports a gambling tax, something to do with gambling,” he said. He said Lynch “does nothing ... he’s a hand-shaking, baby-kissing candidate.”

counted they would not provide O’Donnell funding in the general election campaign.

She enters the fall race as an underdog to Chris Coons, a county executive who was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. The Republican state chairman, Tom Ross, said recently she “could not be elected dogcatcher,” and records surfaced during the campaign showing that the IRS had once slapped a lien against her and her house had been headed for foreclosure. She also claimed falsely to have carried two of the state’s counties in a race against Vice President Joe Biden two years ago.

With unemployment high and President Barack Obama’s popularity below 50 percent, Republicans said a run of hotly contested primaries this spring and summer reflected voter enthusiasm that will serve the party well in the fall. The GOP needs to win 40 seats to take the House and 10 for control of the Senate.

Democrats countered that the presence of tea party-supported Republicans on the ballot on Nov. 2 would prove costly to the GOP. That proposition will be tested in seven weeks’ time in Senate races see DELEWARE page 13

Pat Buchanan

Who’s the enemy?

The Rev. Terry Jones may just have exposed the ultimate futility of America’s war in Afghanistan.

Consider the portrait of frustrated impotence America presented to the world last week.

Our president and the secretaries of state and defense deplored Pastor Jones’ plan to burn 100 Qurans but could do nothing to stop him, other than to plead with him. Jones decided to call it off himself. What was the message received by a billion Muslims?

“Muslims must understand that our Constitution protects the desecration of your holiest book.

America is a place where people have a right to denounce Islam as a religion ‘of the Devil’ and burn the Quran in public.”

Having gotten the message, Afghan mobs chanting, “Death to America,” burned the American flag and set off to kill our soldiers.

Can rural Afghans understand the refusal of a U.S. president to stop what they see as a televised sacrilege against their faith? In their country, Jones would have been stoned to death. That is who they are.

What would a U.S. soldier say to an Afghan soldier who asked, “If you Americans believe it is the exercise of a precious right to burn our holy book, the Quran, why should we fight beside you, against fellow Muslims, who would fight to protect the Quran?”

Had Jones’ Quran-burning gone forward, the televised pictures would have gone out to the world.

The impact would likely have been of the same magnitude as that of the Dutch cartoons of the Prophet that ignited riots across Europe and the Islamic world, and the antiIslamic scribbles of Salmon Rushdie that earned the novelist a fatwa — a death sentence — from Ayatollah Khomeini.

Now consider the message sent to U.S. troops.

Their commander, Gen. Petraeus, warned that, should the Quran burning proceed, it could endanger their lives and imperil the mission President Obama sent them to fight and die for. To those troops, President Obama was saying that his read on the First Amendment forbids him from interfering with bookburnings in America that could get them killed in Afghanistan.

How do you fight and win a war like that, with a war president like that?

Saturday, the president declared: “Americans are not — and never will be — at war with Islam. It was not a religion that attacked us ... it was al-Qaida.” President Bush declared Islam “a religion of peace.”

Both statements are understandable, for if we are perceived as at war with Islam, we will lose that war, and Osama bin Laden will have won by having broadened and

defined what the war was about.

But, while understandable, are the two presidents’ statements wholly credible? For tens of millions of Muslims and growing numbers of Americans are indeed coming to see this as a religious war.

If we are not at war with Islam, why are we fighting the Taliban?

They did not attack us. If Islam is a religion of peace, why are Muslims massacring Christians in Nigeria and Sudan? Why did those Afghan mobs also yell, “Death to Christians”? Why are Christian Copts being attacked in Egypt, and Assyrian and Chaldean Christians in Iraq? Did these Christian communities start a holy war against their vastly more numerous Muslim brethren?

What do the terrorists and “state sponsors of terrorism” — Mohamed Atta, bin Laden, al-Qaida, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, Moqtada al-Sadr, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — have in common, except for Islam? Is not the one thing that differentiates them from our friends in the Middle East, such as President Mubarak of Egypt and King Abdullah of Jordan, that our enemies exhibit a more rigorous Islamic faith?

What motivates the jihadists who conduct suicide attacks on American soldiers and drive car bombs onto U.S. military posts, if not the Quran’s promise of paradise if they die a martyr’s death? If some Muslims hate us because we are the new Romans, is that hatred not grounded in the Islamic mandate to drive infidels out of the Dar alIslam, the House of Islam?

If other Muslims hate us for our corrupt culture, what is the source of that hatred, other than Islam’s puritanical teachings? If others hate us, as neoconservatives argue, for our freedoms, what is the taproot of that hatred?

When Obama and Bush hail Islam as a religion of peace, do they know more about Islam than those who are dying for it? Describing Islam as a religion of peace is like saying Prussians were a people of peace. It is at best a partial truth.

According to a Washington Post poll, two-thirds of Americans do not want the Cordoba House mosque built near ground zero, and half of all Americans harbor negative views about Islam. They don’t want the mosque by ground zero because they think Islam had something to do with those 3,000 massacred Americans. Are they entirely wrong?

How do we win a long war when we cannot name the enemy?

(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)

LETTERS Fox News’ blatant lack of ethics led directly to Ms. Sherrod’s firing To the editor, I found it rather humorous that in Mr. Earle’s recent letter, he accused me of spinning the news; politicians use that claim whenever an unpopular topic shows them in a bad light and they want to discredit opposing positions. Mr. Earle has added this part of his arsenal because he makes accusations but can’t substantiate or defend them.

Apparently I’m not the only one to “find fault” with Mr. Earle’s accusations of Obama playing the “race card”. Another contributor to this forum has addressed the issue so I’ll just wait patiently for a response.

In regard to the Department of Justice handling of the voted intimidation by the NBPP, Mr. Earle would like us to believe that the Bush administration “chose not to prosecute the Panthers” because they were a “lame duck administration””. Surely Mr. Earle, you realize that the DOJ does not stop prosecuting felonious conduct, as you described it, because of a change in administrations. They were not charged criminally because the DOJ, after reviewing the evidence, decided the facts and the law didn’t support going forward with a prosecution.

Mr. Earle offered to address my “complaints”, but despite his rhetoric, he has done everything but. I am incensed that a conservative blogger, Andrew Breitbart, edits and distorts video to portray Ms. Sherrod as a racist., and thereby infer the Obama administration as racist, and Mr. Earle responds with “Fox News didn’t fire Shirley”. A woman’s life is in shambles, she has been slandered because

of a campaign waged by conservatives, and Mr. Earle in content to tell us that she wasn’t fired by Fox News.

He neglects to tell us that it was Fox News’ blatant disregard of journalistic ethics that led to her firing. Fox News Senior Vice President Michael Clemente confirmed that Fox broke the story before getting all the facts.

In addition, while standing in mud up his neck with Fox News, Earle has the audacity to refer to other media sources as, “left-wing mud slingers”.

This is typical of Mr. Earle’s style: if you can’t defend a position go on the attack and muddy the waters.

Mr. Earle continues his attacks by claiming I distorted the facts stating that former DOJ employee J. Christian Adams was and is a Republican activist. The reason I refer to him as such is that he is self-proclaimed and is a long-time conservative activist identified by Fox News — and I know we can trust Fox News. To address the issue, Mr. Adams made unsubstantiated allegations against the Obama administration, claiming the administration dropped NPBB case because of race. We now know that Mr. Adams lied because, by Mr. Earle’s standards, if it can’t be proven, it’s a lie (remember the congressman who claimed to have been spit on and called racial epitaphs). I know Mr. Earle would not want a double standard.

I appreciate Mr. Earle’s concern for me “falling off my high horse” but he can rest assured that I’ll be riding for some time to come.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, September 15, 2010 — Page 5

LETTERS Upon my return from Viet Nam, a WWII vet spit in my direction To the editor, Your recent printing of the letter by E. Scott Cracraft opened the window of memories for me concerning those years of the Viet Nam War. They were also the era of hippies and dope, sick music, riots at universities and all other kinds of mayhem and ills that infected our society at the time.

The Viet Nam War was more like the Korean War than any we had fought before. For the second time in history we were ordered to fight a war of containment. Thus we were not allowed to eliminate the disease, only to prevent it from spreading.

Meanwhile back in the states the disease was spreading throughout our country. This is a concern that I will address at another time. We see the fruits of those days in our society today.

The atmosphere that emerged during the war was not what I had expected in society. I was not prepared for it. Communist paraphernalia was handed out by hippies in California.

Jane Fonda visited the North Vietnamese. Later came John Kerry with his pretended vets who testified they committed atrocities. None of these occurrences would have been allowed under the Wilson or FDR administration. Jail would have awaited them, much as it did for any who opposed WW1and WW2.

But! Let me address the point of Viet Nam Vets getting spit upon. I returned in 1969 from Viet Nam. Yes it is true we flew into a secure base in California. I remember high school students holding up signs that said “Welcome Back”. And they sang “God bless America”. Many of us cried. I thought of the young men in my company who would not be returning to such a welcome. Their journey home would be silent and with a different welcome.Their loved ones would shed tears far removed from those we shed.

Many from my company who were not fortunate to make it home a live were quietly laid to rest in a cemetery in their home town.

My trip from California to Boston was not secure. No one talked with me on the plane. I felt somewhat isolated and alone. I spent some time at home visiting with my family. It felt good to be home. I remember watching television and seeing President Nixon saying “We have no troops in Laos” or something to that effect. I turned to my mother and said” We were there just a few weeks a go”. Things were never the same since that day.

I was introduced to my father’s boss as a Marine who served in Viet Nam. The response I got was no hand shake.

No “Welcome Back home”. It was, “You’re nothing, the Marines are nothing, besides Viet Nam is not a war, I fought at the Battle of Bulge”. And then he spit in my direction. Does this count Mr. Cracraft as getting spit at?

Of course that was not the only incident. A chief of police in a New Hampshire town said much the same words.

When I approached him and asked, “What did you say?” He placed his hand upon his holstered pistol. Is it

any wonder that so many vets quietly faded into their own world. Many of us still think of the times we served with some of the finest unselfish young men. Ones who shared a can of peaches when we had not a thing to eat in days. And the last of our water when we were on a three day march to rescue some prisoners taking during the assault on Hue city. We were young then. But the character, bravery and honor was much more than what was going on at our universities.

Times have changed since those days. The movie “Platoon” is no longer shown to impressionable young minds as a depiction of the Viet Nam War. I have had the privilege of speaking to high school students in their history class, invited by the history teacher and class who wanted to hear directly from the vet. Within a week I would receive a wonderful letter from these students and teacher thanking me for answering their questions.

Yet there is a sense of worry. Some of those young radicals who rioted at our universities have become professors and mislead our youth. We see students wearing Che Guevara tee shirts as if he is someone to hail as great man. He was a communist and murderer.

I saw something in those young men I served with that is rare among our leaders today: their quiet demeanor, able to run to another’s aid without thinking a bout it. The list is long that describes them. But I believe I can sum it up with this: Following a severe battle near the Ho Che Min trail my company came across a wounded enemy soldier. Our corpsman went right away and knelt down and commenced doing what he was trained to do. He treated his wounds and gave him water. When enemy artillery rained down upon us this corpsman shielded him with his own body. Later, two Marines risked their life carrying him to a spot where a helicopter would be picking him plus wounded Marines up. He was treated with the same compassion as our brothers were. The helicopter pilot knew he was coming in to medevac a wounded NVA soldier, yet he braved the heavy machine fire that sprayed up at him.

These acts were common among our young men. I have grown to believe that the NVA equality had their moments. After a long hard battle to take a mountain by the name of Nui Tia Pong, we found inscribed upon a tree, written in Vietnamese, “Down with Ho Che Min”. Our country has changed much since those times.

Another war, another place, another enemy. Yet our country rots from within, failing to see the real enemy.

Immorality, dishonesty, pornography, alcoholism, drug use, corruption ,broken homes, out of control dept, socialism and so on and on. These principles have crept in slowly for decades while our soldiers have been battling a known enemy around the world.

LETTERS BCEDC played large role in helping Boys & Girls Club find a home To the editor, I was pleased to read the recent reports in the local press concerning the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region’s intention to purchase the Laconia Citizen building.

We are excited about our new home and appreciate the coverage given to our impending purchase. However, I noted that each of these reports failed to mention the important role that the Belknap County Economic Development Council played in helping us find a new home and obtain financing, and I wanted to give credit where credit was due.

Over the last several months, our committee met frequently with BCEDC’s Jennifer Boulanger and members of its board of directors.

Most recently, the BCEDC assisted us with our review of available real estate opportunities, met with prop-

erty owners, and helped us to decide whether to lease or purchase property for the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region. The Council arranged and hosted our meeting with Beacon Mill, Inc., which led our entering into a purchase and sale agreement on the building. The Council also identified potential financing options and coordinated a meeting between our committee and Robert Fry of USDA Rural Development to review the details of the Community Facility Loan and Grant Program.

The Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region is grateful to the Belknap County Economic Development Council for facilitating our search and forthcoming purchase. For us, the BCEDC certainly made a difference.

Please donate to Children’s Auction in George Brunstad’s honor To the editor, On Wednesday August 25th at 10 p.m., from Center Harbor Town Beach, George Brunstad, 76 year’s young, began an incredible journey of sacrifice in an effort to help those in need in our community. This man SWAM the length of Lake Winnipesaukee, 22 miles! It took George 22 HOURS to accomplish this goal. In honor of George’s courageous feat, I am asking all of you to consider donating whatever you can to the WLNH Children’s Auction, secure on line donation www. lascfit.com or mail to LASC, 827 North Main St., Laconia, NH 03246.

It took many people in our community to help George and I with the Great Winnipesaukee Swim and I would like to thank those who helped make this an inspiring community “hug”. Our corporate sponsors, Gail Batstone from The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls, Common Man Inns & Restaurants, Mt.Washington Boat, RJ Harding & Chris Lockwood from Meadowbrook US Cellular Pavilion, Bruce Wright from Irwin Marine and my staff from Laconia Athletic & Swim Club. I was honored to have the Laconia Fire Department assisting George the entire way. They brought their professional skills along with their passion and took care of George from start to finish. I am proud and grateful to Chief Erickson, Captain Landry, Lt. Shastany and the rest of the crew for being part of our team. And of Jan Buitendag of Tritanium Sports for helping me “stage” both the start

and finish with his usual attention to every detail; Allen and Lani Voivod of A-Hah Yourself, Epiphanies, Inc. for the great video and social media work. Paul Gaudet Jr. and the Gaudet family and the “AutoServ Boat”; Gail Beane of Gail Beane Graphics for all of our print work; Chris Milner of Mill House Enterprises for our much needed shuttle boat; Sarah from Body Covers for the volunteer shirts; Mark from Gator Signs for the banners; DJ Carlos for the sound system; MB Tractor for the lights; and David Stamps for capturing our Winni Swim on film.

A special thank you to Carlos and Catherine Martinez and Nelson Ebo for their beautiful singing talents.

And to the Center Harbor Police and Fire Department for helping us get off to a great start. Thanks to the Alton Police and all the guys from Alton Fire & Rescue who took care of George after the swim and transported him to LRGH. And of course, to all of the WLNH/Nassau Broadcasting guys for all of their help and guidance.

I, along with many of you who were there, feel as though we witnessed something truly special, something that will stay with us for a long time to come. I was inspired by George’s grit and determined spirit. I was comforted by the support of my fellow community members. I am grateful to be part of this incredible effort.

Please help all of us and honor George with a donation.

Make sure you review an itemized bill for all your health care To the editor, We can try to have health care lower by getting itemized bills from doctors and hospitals. The hospitals are overcharging everyone! How about $24 for an aspirin. Now how do they justify that? What would they do if people brought their own aspirin, tissues etc.? They would have a fit.

I had a friend who was in the hospital. They charged for diapers that she never had. So that’s what I mean

about hospitals overcharging their patients. They all figure who cares, Medicare and the insurance company will pay for it. We all pay for that in the end with higher premiums. So ask for an itemized bill on all health care and see if and where the bill has been marked up. Most people never do that.

Just try that and see.

LETTERS We have lots & lots of M’boro assessment data but no answers To the editor, The Moultonboro Selectmen have released the full data set describing the 2010 Vision Appraisal (VA) reassessment of the town, along with documentation from Vision Appraisals.

Five sets of sorted data were released, 102 pages (in each set) of 75 data rows (each page), 16 columns (each page), sorted by street, owner, neighborhood, etc. The data was able to be printed, but not sorted further. Despite that significant limitation, it is possible now to review the data manually.

Sadly, the long-awaited VA Documentation, rather than providing an answer to the “What was the process” question, resulted in many pages of text, none of which clarified how the assessments were actually done. How an assessment was determined is still a mystery, and there are over 7,000 mysteries in town!

On Thursday, September 16th, the final meeting with the selectmen and Vision Appraisals, will be held at town hall. The selectmen promised that property owners will be able to ask their questions (again) to VA. The last meeting (held on September 2) was extremely well attended, but didn’t result in many answers to property owners. This Thursday is our last chance to get those answers.

There are many questions that the data doesn’t answer. For example, there is no apparent pattern in the assessments. No two properties have the same increase or decrease. Ranges of data are huge, neighborhoods (there are 119 different neighborhoods!) are very different on average, and data inside neighborhoods (home to home) vary greatly. The entire town assessment grew a small amount, some

waterfront neighborhood assessments increased significantly, and off-water properties were significantly decreased. The relatively small number of waterfront homes formerly carried 71-percent of the tax burden, and with this assessment, carry much more of the burden. Some interesting anomalies: Boat slips decreased 12-15-percent; condos decreased 12-14-pecent; unbuilt waterfront lots increased 9-11-percent; non-Winnipesaukee lakefront increased; specific waterfront neighborhoods increased significantly (which is the source of most of the vocal protest.) The W01 neighborhood (the bulk of the Winnipesaukee waterfront homes) has 337 properties with a median increase of 11-percent (an average of 9-percent.) The W01 increase equates to an increase in appraisal value of $41,000,000 for the town. Another mystery is that some of the very highest value waterfront homes (luxury neighborhoods like Captain’s Walk and Iroquois) did not change at all .

The Selectmen would like you to think that Waterfront only increased 3-percent. It’s not that clear and the mystery continues.

There is a summary table that has been constructed, but which probably needs review once the town agrees to release sortable data. (Working with the massive amount of data manually is prone to errors.) Until that time, the summary information is available on several of the Moultonboro Taxpayer websites.

There will be some printouts of the data available at the Town Meeting on September 16 (7 p.m., Town Hall).

Plan to be there!

Any massage of exercise will briefly raise your white blood cell count To the editor, With my last letter to The Daily Sun, I challenged Dr. Moneysmith to prove his assertion that “ research shows that chiropractic care can double your immune capacity…”. That is quite a statement especially when he is using it to sell you his services.

Unfortunately, Dr. Moneysmith was not up to the challenge. Instead, he felt he should chide me for using “big words … too impress the public”. My daughter and I got a big laugh out of this, and had to reread my letter to pick out those big words. I am still not sure which ones he means for the words I use, I use frequently in my practice.

Anyway he has now gone from referencing Dr. Pero, to claiming that there are other studies in addition to the debated work by Dr. Pero. There is no debate; Dr. Pero’s research was and is junk science, period. If it wasn’t, I’m sure Dr. Moneysmith would be comfortable debating me on it. But he can’t, he lied about the research, and more importantly he lied about the benefits of chiropractic care. So his next tact is to claim he has two more articles proving his point. Let’s look at those. The first one is 20 years old, and is entitled “The effect of Spinal Manipulation on the respiratory Burst of Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils”. He finds great joy in the fact

that he too can now use “big“ words.

These are basically White Blood Cells ( WBC), and the study was designed to draw a titer 15 minutes prior to and then 15 minutes after manipulation and the authors claim there was a rise in WBC’s. That is it: 15 minutes. Wow, that is going to do a lot to the immune system. I would suggest that any type of massage, injury or exercise will release inflammatory cells and can show very similar patterns.

The other study is from 2006 and looked at spinal manipulation therapy and reduced inflammatory cytokines, an immune assay. This was a longer study, they took it out to two hours!

Very impressive. So let’s ask Dr. Moneysmith, citing his own studies, does that mean that I need a massage every 15 minutes to get the benefits, or how about maybe 12 a day? He cannot answer that. Don’t believe me? Then ask him. Is one manipulation hourly, daily , weekly , biweekly, monthly , or yearly sufficient to receive the benefit you propose? And after I pay you for this service how can you prove to me that it is working and not just some sham. You have to be a fool, to believe that these bogus studies add anything to the health of your immune system.

He then wants us to believe that research shows that asthma is improved with chiropractic care. He see next page

Key strip of land along Snake River purchased in multi-town effort to protect Waukewan watershed

By Michael Kitch MEREDITH — The Waukewan Shore Owners Association have announced the acquisition of 8.5 acres bordering the Snake River and the transfer of the property to the New Hampton Conservation Commission, which will hold it as permanently protected conservation land.

The property, an 8.57-acre strip of land with 2,841 linear feet of frontage on the southwest bank of the river, had been owned by Jacqueline Spear and lies in New Hampton. The Snake River, flowing from Lake Winona into Lake Waukewan, is the largest stream in the watershed and its wetlands play a major role in reducing the nutrients, contaminants and sediments reaching Lake Waukewan itself.

Apart from prohibiting development, an easement limits use of the property to outdoor recreation — hiking, skiing, fishing and hunting — while forbidding boat launching and overnight camping.

In 2002 the Meredith Community Plan recommended protecting watersheds and identified the watershed of Lake Waukewan, which serves as the town’s potable water supply, as a high priority. The watershed includes parts of New Hampton, Center Harbor, Ashland and Holderness as well as of Meredith. In 2008 the directors of the Waukewan Shore Owners Association, consisting of waterfront residents of Meredith Center Harbor and New Hampton, established a Conservation Acquisition Fund

for the acquisition of land within the watershed and designated the purchase of the Spear parcel as its first priority. At the 2009 Meredith town meeting, voters authorized the Conservation Commission to contribute to qualified organizations for the purchase of property as well as to apply its funds to the acquisition of land outside the municipal boundaries with the approval of the selectmen.

The association raised more than $22,000 and applied $15,552 to the $30,000 purchase price of the property, with contributions of $10,000 by the Meredith Conservation Commission and $5,000 by the New Hampton Conservation Commission making up the balance. In addition, members of the association, assisted by Roger Robinson of Robinson General Contracting, volunteered their time to remove refuse and debris from the property. McNeish said 26 tires and eight exhaust systems, along with computer monitors, refrigerators, furniture and floor tiles, were taken from the site. The association paid for the environmental assessment of the site

by Abenaki Services of Bristol, which was required before transferring the property.

Among the handful of attorneys who shepherded the transaction, Stanley Wallerstein of the Waukewan Shore Owners Association orchestrated negoiations between representatives of the towns and landowner, which included arranging a boundary line adjustment to provide legal access to the property from Winona Road.

AIR STRIKES from page one American officials said the airstrikes were designed to degrade the Haqqanis’ operations on the Pakistani side of the border, creating a “hammer-and-anvil” effect as U.S. special operations forces carry out raids against their fighters across the frontier in Afghanistan. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to

discuss ongoing classified operations.

The missiles have killed more than 50 people in 12 strikes since Sept. 2 in the Pakistani region of North Waziristan, according to an Associated Press tally based on Pakistani intelligence officials’ reports.

from preceding page cites a study and I apologize, I could not find it.

But I did find a study, a retrospective study published in the Journal Canadian Chiropractic Assoc.

March, 2010. A retrospective study means that the researchers pool the results of a number of studies and look at the results. They looked at eight studies from 1980-2009. It showed that while there was some subjective benefit for chiropractic care, and to a lesser degree objective benefit, none of it was statistically significant. They go on to state that, “Chiropractic care should be used as an adjunct not a replacement therapy”. This is from the chiropractic literature. What does this mean? It means that if your child is under good control, adding chiroprac-

tic care does not add anything to his management, other than wasting your money.

Google “Exercise and the Immune system” and you will find numerous articles, well researched , about the benefits of exercise on the immune system.

Instead of paying Dr. Moneysmith, go out and walk, bike, swim, and run, you will get much more bang for your buck. Remember, the chiropractic profession is one built on the shaky legs of belief not on scientific evidence. Don’t believe me? Google “Science Based Medicine, Sept 25, 2009” on the claims of those who would have you believe that they can “Boost the Immune system” through pseudoscience.

Belmont selectmen will have final say on writing off town’s unpaid ambulance run bills

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT - Selectmen have adopted a new ambulance billing policy that will allow the board to approve hardship requests, removing that responsibility from the fire chief.

The new policy states that the fire chief will review any account older than 120 days but selectmen will decide whether to abate the charge — generally due to hardship — or to forward the bill to a collection agency.

Right now, Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin estimates there are about $150,000 in unpaid ambulance bills outstanding, dating back to 2004.

Belmont, like many communities, subcontracts its ambulance billing to Comstar, a Massachusetts ambulance service billing company. It is Comstar’s policy attempt to collect a bill three times before the account reverts back to the town and is classified as a receivable.

Most ambulance runs are paid for by health insurance companies.

Fire Chief David Parenti said there are a variety of reasons an ambulance bill goes unpaid but the two most common ones are hardship and the cases where an insurance company sends an ambulance reimbursement direct to a policy holder and not to Comstar.

“It’s like any other bill. People either pay it or they don’t,” he told selectmen last week.

Welfare Administrator Donna Cilley also attended the meaning and said she wanted the chief and the from preceding page 40,000 people that sits on a strategically vital road to the Afghan border.

The border region has long been a refuge for Islamist extremists from around the world. Osama Bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders are believed to have fled there after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

U.S. and Pakistani intelligence officials said most of this month’s strikes have targeted the forces of Jalaluddin and Sirajuddin Haqqani, a former antiSoviet commander and his son who are now battling American forces in eastern Afghanistan.

The raids targeting the group in Afghanistan are led mainly by the Joint Special Operations Command. Such raids across Afghanistan are now more frequent than at any previous time in the nearly nine-year war, with some 4,000 recorded between May and August as special operations numbers were boosted by troops arriving from Iraq.

Raids have focused on the Haqqanis for the last two years, officials said.

selectmen to remember that when the town first began using Comstar, it was set up such that a Belmont taxpayer with no insurance was not expected to pay.

“Constar was supposed to write them off and I’m a little concerned,” she said.

Selectmen agreed that hardships can and do exist but the appropriate paperwork should exist.

“We all agree with the concerns,” said Selectman’s Chair Ron Cormier. “the policy to to change the physical process.”

Selectman Jon Pike said he agreed with the new policy but wanted Parenti to make sure overdue accounts are brought to the board in a timely fashion and not the let them accrue.

“There are still a fair number of people who don’t have insurance,” Cilley said, to which Beaudin replied that the spirit of the policy remains the same but there are some people who don’t even make an effort to contact the town if they can’t pay.

Beaudin said the Comstar account has about $520,000 in it. It is used to purchase capital equipment — equipment that cost more than $25,000 — for the fire department and is not run through the general fund.

The selectmen have made more than one attempt in recent years to allow funds in the Comstar account to be used for other purposes, such as meeting the towns general expense for maintaining the Fire/Rescue Department but firefighters have vigorously protested and a majority of voters have agreed with them.

A senior American intelligence official in Afghanistan said the U.S. had reports that Haqqani commanders were under pressure from the operations.

“We’re seeing from some of the raids that some of the more senior guys are trying to move back into Pakistan,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence.

The official cautioned that the Haqqanis often employ military disinformation. And so far, the official said, neither the special operations raids nor the missile strikes on the Pakistan side of the border appear to have degraded the militants’ ability to fill the ranks of the slain.

But sometimes, the U.S. official said, the replacements are far less competent than their predecessors.

LRGH from page one inskyj stressed that “there will be no change whatsoever in the level of care we provide.”

“No one is being laid off,” Rudzinskyj insisted, explaining that 10 fulltime positions would be eliminated and that efforts were underway to transfer those employees to other departments or areas of the hospital.

She said that another seven per diem positions would also be eliminated.

“We are also in contact with other medical institutions in an effort to place any employees who may be affected by the restructuring of our pediatric services,” Rudzinskyj said, adding that the Human Resources Department was making every effort to ease the impact of the transition on the staff of the pediatrics unit.

Senior vice-president and chief financial officer Henry Lipman said that the restructuring was in response to the changing demographics of the patient population. He said that the pediatrics unit was not used to capac-

ity and that overhead costs and operating efficiencies would be achieved by consolidating pediatric services with another fully staffed unit without diminishing the quality of care provided to younger patients.

News of the changes at LRGH coincided with the announcement by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center that it would trim its staff by fourpercent, or about 350 employees, as part of a plan to overcome a projected $50-million budget deficit. Officials said that they expected to reach the targets through attrition and reorganization.

Rudzinskyj said that LRGH has been managing personnel very closely for some time. “We are adding staff in some areas and shedding it in others,” she said. “In these conditions, we are scrutinizing every position.”

LRGH eked out $1-million in operating income (income after expenses) during the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, 2009 on revenues of see next page

Gilford results not in but Nedeau has huge lead over Grenier in GOP primary for county commissioner

MEREDITH — It appears that Meredith Rep. Steve Nedeau will be the Republican nominee for county commissioner in District 3.

Nedeau, a former selectman and retired deputy sheriff had a 1,000 vote lead over challenger Richard “Rag”Grenier with only Gilford left to report its numbers as of press time.

District 3 covers Meredith, Gilford, Alton, Center Harbor and New Hampton. For 12 years it has been represented by Commissioner Christopher Boothby, a Meredith Republican who is not running again because of the time constraints of his growing business.

plan for the race developed by its security director, Mark Furlone.

Jerry Gappens, general manager of the Speedway, said the agreement came as result of a series of meetings that looked at ways to trim expenses while providing adequate security for racing fans.

“This agreement will be reviewed after the race weekend to determine the success of the security plan, and to investigate whether further savings can be achieved in the future,” Gappens said.

He said both the sides have a better appreciation of each others’ concerns as a result of the intensive discussions. “The success of these negotiations represents a good step toward establishing a sound relationship based on mutual respect and trust.”

Maxfield said he hopes that the agreement will bring an end to the yearlong dispute between the town and the track over security costs for major events.

“It’s real trying to keep going through that,” Maxfield said.

The dispute erupted last summer when the town billed the Speedway $226,000 for last June’s race, an amount Speedway officials called exorbitant. The from preceding page $191-million. That’s one-half of one-percent.

However, only a change in accounting rules that enabled LRGH to apply $1.7-million in assets, which had been restricted to specific purposes, to operations, turned red ink to black.

The poor operating results reflected the decision by the state to further reduce already low reimbursement rates for Medicare and Medicaid as it wrestled with mounting budget deficits. Since 2007, the cost of providing government sponsored care at LRGH has nearly doubled, jumping from $9.7-million to $17.8-million.

In Center Harbor and New Hampton Nedeau won handily. While it was closer in Alton, Nedeau prevailed with 445 votes to 257 for Grenier.

Maxfield said the agreement should provide the basis for a better relationship with the Speedway and hopes that the good will generated through the talks, conducted in private a the law office of the town’s attorney in Concord, will carry through into next year, when the Speedway will add a third major race to its schedule.

In addition to the two NASCAR Sprint Cub events, the Speedway will host an Izod IndyCar race next summer, bringing open wheel racing back to Loudon for the first time since 1998.

SENATE 2 from page one 236 of the GOP primary votes to Wendelboe’s 141.

In Bristol, she garnered 242 of the nearly 400 votes cast in the GOP side of the primary.

In Haverhill, where almost 700 people cast votes in the GOP primary, Forrester bested Wendelboe 317 to 158.

As expected, Forrester did not carry Wendelboe’s hometown of New Hampton where Wendelboe got 216 votes to Forrester’s 125, or neighboring Ashland where Wendelboe bested her by 179 to 73 but Wendelboe’s margin of victory close to home was apparently not enough to overcome the nearly 400 vote deficit in Meredith.

This is Forrester’s first run for elective office though she is no stranger to politics having served on former Gov. John H. Sununu’s staff. She has also been the town administrator in Tuftonboro and New Durham.

LACONIA — City Republicans showed great support for incumbent N.H. Representative Don Flanders and veteran legislator and local political organizer Frank Tilton in primary elections yesterday, while denying the offer of a veteran school board member to run for one of the city’s five seats in House District 4.

Flanders received 1,234 votes and

Tilton received 1,118 from city Republicans. They also saw fit to award nominations to former city councilor Bob Luther (961 votes), Bob Kingsbury (945) and Harry Accornero (894 votes).

Chuck Tucker, who represented Ward 1 for many years on the city’s School Board before being defeated last year, trailed the others with 785 votes.

Dems eliminate Laughton from House races LACONIA — City Democrats yesterday eliminated Barry “Stacie” Laughton, preferring the other five candidates offering to compete for the five seats in the N.H. House’s District 4.

Incumbents Beth Arsenault, with 455 votes, and Dick Stuart, with 397,

led the field. Ed Allard (334 votes), David Stamps (358) and Maureen Baxley (288) also earned enough votes for a nomination.

Laughton got 167 votes, but not enough for a Democratic nomination.

MEREDITH — Meredith Republicans yesterday selected Colette Worsman and Bob Greemore to run for the town’s representatives in the Statehouse. The two victors were chosen over Elliott Finn.

Worsman, a selectman in town, received 702 votes in the Republican primary, and Greemore earned 494.

Finn was favored by 410 voters.

Greemore and Worsman will com-

pete for the two seats in the NH House’s Third District. They’ll face competition from Democrats Carla Horne and incumbent Rep. Kate Miller.

Republican Steve Nedeau gave up his seat to run for county commissioner.

About 30-percent of registered voters in Meredith came to the polls yesterday.

Meredith Republicans going with Worsman and Greemore for House

SENATE 4 from page one effort, which he estimated placed him or his volunteers on the doorsteps of 90-percent of the 12,500 registered Republican voters in the district, including every one in Laconia, the stronghold of Hurt, his chief rival.

Forsythe estimated that he personally met more than 2,000 voters. “We didn’t ignore any town,” he said.

“The volunteers have been huge,” Forsythe said.

Forsythe said that he offered a fresh face. “Voters expressed frustration with Concord and wanted new people,” he said, adding that he believed his

military background appealed to those looking for resolute leadership.

Hurt carried Gilford, where he resides, by 618 to 455 and Laconia by the narrower margin of 868 to 811, but could not overcome the commanding victories Forsythe scored in Alton (497 to 215), Barnstead (333-to 53), Gilmanton (286 to 151) and New Durham (120 to 37).

Forsythe will face Democrat Andrew Hosmer of Laconia in the general election in November. Incumbent Senator Kathy Sgambati of Tilton did not seek re-election.

Seeking the Republican nomination in the First Congressional District, former Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta campaigned in Laconia and Gilford on primary election day.

Guinta & Ashooh close at top of 1st District heap CONCORD (AP) — An eight-way Republican primary in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District remained too close to call Tuesday night.

At day’s end, votes were still being tallied. Early returns showed a tight race between former Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta and business executive Rich Ashooh of Bedford.

In agreement on most of the issues, the candidates emphasized experience and ethics as they fought for a chance to unseat Democrat Carol Shea-Porter, who faced no opposition in her primary.

With 65 of 113 precincts reporting, Guinta had

Livernois leads Cormier

SANBORNTON — With the tally from Gilmanton outstanding, Andrew Livernois of Sanbornton held a slim lead of 39 votes over Ron Cormier of Belmont in the Democratic primary contest for the Belknap County Commission in District 2.

Livernois carried his hometown by a wide margin, 145 to 42, but Cormier took Belmont by 84 to 63 and Barnstead by 76 to 33 and unofficially the two candidates finished in a dead-heat in Tilton, where each polled 72 votes.

Both men are on the selectboards in their respective townships.

DELEWARE from page 3 in Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky — all states where establishment Republican candidates fell in earlier primaries — and now Delaware.

Nearly complete returns from Delaware showed O’Donnell with 53 percent of the vote. “Don’t ever underestimate the power of ‘we the people,’” she told supporters who cheered her triumph.

But Coons issued a statement moments after Castle’s defeat. “We cannot let Joe Biden’s seat fall into ultraconservative hands,” he said.

In other races, Democratic Attorney General Andrew Cuomo of New York faced no opposition for the party’s nomination for governor, and he will be the prohibitive favorite in the fall for an office his father held for three terms.

Political novice Carl Paladino, a wealthy developer who enjoyed tea party support, defeated former Rep. Rick Lazio for the Republican nomination. Lazio angled for the conservative nomination and a spot on the November ballot anyway.

7-week SAT class offered

by Laconia Adult Ed

LACONIA —A 7-week SAT (College Board) Preparation Class offered by Laconia Adult Education will begin on Wednesday, September 29 and end on Wednesday, November 3 — in time for the SAT exam scheduled to be given on Saturday, November 6.

SAT Preparation Classes are designed to help students score better on the mathematics, reading comprehension, and written essay sections of the SAT exam. The SAT Exam will test subject areas that students have learned throughout four years of high school. Emphasis will be placed on three segments: reading, writing, and arithmetic. A perfect score on the SAT exam is 2400.

The writing section is divided between multiple choice questions on grammar and style and an essay students must write on an assigned topic. In the past, the SAT Exam was strictly multiple choice but is now becoming a test of critical reading, comprehensive writing, higher mathematics, and a test of learned skills used to reason.

In the SAT prep class, students will improve problem solving skills involving basic math, Algebra, Algebra II, and Geometry. Emphasis will also be placed on helping the student score better on the written essay portion of the exam. The classes will also better prepare students for the different types of questions asked, when to guess at a question, and how to pace oneself so as to not run out of time. Test taking tips will also be given.

CROSSWORD

B.C.

by Dickenson & Clark

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do some reflecting -- physically. Involve a mirror. The problem is not your face, but the mirror will help you face the problem. Look deeply into your own eyes -- search for answers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There will be activity in the realm of personal relationships. You could fall back in love with someone you fell for before.

The chemistry won’t be the same. You both have changed, but the new combo will be just as potent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Though you’re not always confident that you can do a job, to an outsider, you seem to have all the answers. You know more than you think. But the key thing you know is when to ask more questions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is rumored that dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both participants are registered blood donors. There are unspoken rules of battle in your own family that are just as absurd as this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This is one of those times when saying less will convey more information. People will remember one-sentence “sound bites” better than they would anything long and involved.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 15).

Your adventurous style will attract admirers. In October, you’ll see the potential to make money and quickly figure out how. Certain rules will be changed or bent for you. A stable, responsible person helps you turn a domestic dream into reality. You’ll be awarded in January. Family additions come in June. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 2, 19, 21 and 14.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Consider taking a trip. Though your family treats you as a commoner, there are places in the world in which you would be received as a highly honored guest.

Both kinds of reception are good for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Family and friends have a different recollection of your shared history. The discrepancies are to be expected and in no way should discount your own experience.

Your memory serves you well, and theirs serves them, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are moving at a highly productive pace.

You have to work when you don’t want to. You want to work when you don’t have to. As for sleep -- it will overcome you eventually, but not without a fight.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are a connoisseur. You know what you would like to see. When a piece of art falls short of your expectations, it may nonetheless be a great gift. This will be a jumping-off place for your creativity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It will be easy for you to get worked up into a concentrated state of mind. So be sure to focus yourself well. Make sure you’re getting excited instead of nervous, enthused instead of upset.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your goal is simple -- to keep everything going in a positive direction. The people around you are depending on you now.

There are three clear next steps. You have the energy, so start climbing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What do you do for fun? Well, do that more today. A lack of fun will be the start of a negative trend. Keep your immune system going strong. Laugh, love and be light of heart.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, September 15, 2010— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wed., Sept. 15, the 258th day of 2010 with 107 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 15, 1940, during the World War II Battle of Britain, the tide turned as the Royal Air Force inflicted heavy losses against the Luftwaffe, forcing Adolf Hitler to indefinitely postpone his plans to invade Britain.

On this date: In 1776, British forces occupied New York City during the American Revolution.

In 1789, the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs was renamed the Department of State.

In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was acquitted of a misdemeanor charge two weeks after he was found not guilty of treason.

In 1857, William Howard Taft — who served as president of the United States and as U.S. chief justice — was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws deprived German Jews of their citizenship.

In 1950, during the Korean conflict, United Nations forces landed at Incheon in the south and began their drive toward Seoul (sohl).

In 1959, Nikita Khrushchev became the first Soviet head of state to visit the United States as he arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, where he was greeted by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In 1963, four black girls were killed when a bomb went off during Sunday services at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. (Three Ku Klux Klansmen were eventually convicted for their roles in the blast.)

In 1982, Iran’s former foreign minister, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh (sah-DEK’ goht-BZAH’deh), was executed after he was convicted of plotting against the government.

One year ago: Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the worst recession since the 1930s was “very likely over,” although he cautioned that pain — especially for nearly 15 million unemployed Americans — would persist.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor-director Jackie Cooper is 88. Actor Forrest Compton is 85. Comedian Norm Crosby is 83. Actor Henry Darrow is 77. Baseball Hall-of-Famer Gaylord Perry is 72. Opera singer Jessye Norman is 65. Writer-director Ron Shelton is 65. Actor Tommy Lee Jones is 64. Movie director Oliver Stone is 64. Rock musician Kelly Keagy (KAY’-gee) (Night Ranger) is 58. Rock musician Mitch Dorge (Crash Test Dummies) is 50. Football Hall-of-Famer Dan Marino is 49. Actor Danny Nucci is 42. Rap DJ Kay Gee is 41. Actor Josh Charles is 39. Singer Ivette (EE’-veht) Sosa (Eden’s Crush) is 34. Pop-rock musician Zach Filkins (OneRepublic) is 32. Actor Dave Annable is 31. Actress Amy Davidson is 31. Britain’s Prince Henry of Wales is 26. TV personality Heidi Montag is 24.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, September 15, 2010— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have a year-old baby boy.

He is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to us.

However, my husband’s family almost makes me regret having a child.

His stepmom didn’t like me before I got pregnant, but as soon as I gave birth, there was a complete turnaround. She is obsessed with babies. I wanted my husband’s family to be a part of my son’s life, so I allowed her to get closer, but the situation has become ridiculous.

We visit once a week, but she constantly bugs us to bring the baby over more often. She keeps asking to be alone with him. She repeatedly tells me that my husband and I need a romantic getaway and we should let her babysit. She even jokes about kidnapping him, which I really don’t appreciate. Her latest request was to take him on a vacation with her family, without us.

I am a stay-at-home mom and have no need for a babysitter. On the weekends, my husband wants to be only with us.

Her demands to have the baby are really bothering me. I don’t understand why she wants to be alone with my child, but my husband doesn’t want either of us to say anything that might upset her. I am actually scared that she may try to take our child. Am I overreacting? -- Waiting for Disaster Dear Waiting: Stepmom isn’t likely to kidnap your baby, but like some obsessed grandparents, she would love to displace you as the object of your child’s affection. That isn’t going to happen, so stop worrying about it. Your baby is too young to go on vacation without you, and you should say so.

When she demands that the child be brought over more often, reply as sweetly as possible, “We can’t manage that, but we’ll try to see you on Sunday.” Repeat as needed, and ignore the rest. Her behavior is irritating, but not threatening. Rest as-

sured, as your baby gets older, her fixation will lessen.

Dear Annie: Whenever my husband writes, he mixes uppercase and lowercase letters within his words. I have explained that it makes him look uneducated, but he disagrees.

I am embarrassed for him. His writing is seen by many people in his office, as well as by clients. I am hoping that if he sees this in print, he may pay attention. -- To Cap or Not To Cap Dear Cap: It is correct to capitalize only the first letter of a sentence and to leave the remaining letters in lowercase.

However, with all the texting and e-mail these days, few people care about proper sentence structure. And there is some degree of personal preference allowed in handwriting. We’d leave this alone.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Worried Mom in the Midwest,” whose son thinks a “D” is an OK grade. Your advice for him to get a job or travel is right on.

I, too, was OK with D’s in high school. In fact, my motto was: “D” equals Diploma. I worked a retail job for several years after high school before I figured out what I wanted to do with my life. To get there, I needed a degree. I am now in my third year of college as a full-time student and am on the Dean’s List. I simply needed time to grow up and set my own goals.

College may never be something her son wants to do, and that should be accepted. Many well-paying jobs do not require a college education. I have seen too many of my fellow students drop out or get kicked out of college because Mom or Dad pushed them into attending. “Worried” should ask her son what his goals are instead of picking his career for him. -- Hobart, Ind.

Moss apologizes to Democrats pick Annie Kuster in 2nd District Belichick for public complaint about his status with Patriots but says he just had to get it off his chest

BOSTON (AP) — Randy Moss said Tuesday his comments about his contract concerns “came out wrong,” but he doesn’t regret making them and wants to retire with the New England Patriots.

Moss had spoken out after Sunday’s season opener, then went home worrying about how coach Bill Belichick and team owner Robert Kraft would view his remarks.

“I do care what they think and I just didn’t want it to come off in a crazy, crazy manner,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It was just how I felt, man. It’s just something I just needed to get off my chest.”

He learned Belichick’s reaction when they met on Monday. He said the coach was supportive.

“I don’t want to get into detail about what we talked about, but it was just more watching what I say and watching what I do,” Moss said. “I just said, ‘Coach, it’s unlike me,’ and I apologized, in a way, because it’s unlike me, but, hopefully, he sees where I’m coming from. “ He said he has children, a mother, a brother and a sister to support.

“They’re looking for me for financial stability,” Moss said. “Is that fair? No. But that’s life and I accepted that and that’s where I’m coming from.

Hopefully, people will understand where I’m coming from. It’s not that I’m asking for $30 (million), $40 million a year. I’m just asking for another contract.”

He didn’t say whether he had spoken with Kraft.

The Patriots obtained the wide receiver from Oakland during the April 2007 draft for a fourth-round pick that year. His Raiders contract included base salaries of $9.75 million in 2007 and $11.25 million in 2008. He and the Patriots agreed to replace that with a one-year deal with a base salary of $3 million.

He’s making $6.4 million in 2010, the last year of a three-year, $27 million contract.

On Sunday, Moss spoke for 16 minutes soon after the 38-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, nearly all of it about his contract situation. He said he wasn’t mad but was hurt and didn’t expect to return next year.

Patriots send Maroney to Broncos for a draft pick

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Denver Broncos obtained running back Laurence Maroney from the New England Patriots on Tuesday, adding another nicked-up player to a rushing attack burdened by injuries.

Each team received an undisclosed 2011 draft pick in the deal that reunites the Patriots’ firstround choice in 2006 with Josh McDaniels, New England’s offensive coordinator before he became Denver’s head coach last season. The trade is pending a physical examination.

The Patriots gave up on Maroney after he failed to emerge as a solid No. 1 back since being drafted out of Minnesota. He was limited by a shoulder injury to three games in 2008. In four years with New England, he rushed for 2,430 yards and 21 touchdowns and tended to run side to side rather than hit openings quickly.

He was inactive with a thigh injury for the Patriots’ season-opening 38-24 win on Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals.

CONCORD (AP) — Lawyer and activist Ann McLane Kuster drew upon a strong grassroots organization Tuesday to win the Democratic nomination in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District.

Kuster, of Hopkinton, defeated Democratic activist Katrina Swett, who won the nomination for the seat in 2002 but lost the general election to Republican Charlie Bass.

Bass, who held the seat for 12 years before being ousted with many other Republicans in 2006, was also seeking the seat. In early returns, Bass was leading the five-way race that included Jennifer Horn, the 2008 nominee who lost to Democrat Paul Hodes. Hodes is running for U.S. Senate.

In her victory speech, Kuster said regardless of who wins the Republican primary, November’s election will offer a clear choice between returning to the problems and politics that got the country into its current mess and a new approach.

Kuster, who started the race with less name-recognition and money than Swett, called for replacing an economic policy of tax cuts for the wealthy with one that helps the middle class and rewards companies for creating jobs in the United States and for better use of coordinated intelligence to seek out terrorists rather than what she called a policy of “wide-open counterinsurgency.”

“Instead of going back to an era of politics as usual, I believe we need a new approach, one focused on what is most important to the people of New Hampshire, not what is most important for the political parties in Washington, D.C.,” she said.

The most heated exchanges in the primary campaign were between Kuster, 54, a Hopkinton lawyer who represented a number of interests as a lobbyist for 20 years, and Swett, a Democratic party activist from Bow who runs the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice.
