LACONIA — There was no sign of a thaw in the relationship between the Belknap County Conven-tion and the Belknap County Commission yesterday when the Executive Commit-tee of the convention flatly rejected the com-missioner’s requests to transfer funds to address budget over-runs.

The commission-ers asked to trans-fer funds from contingency, $52,000 to defray unforeseen expenses in the Cor-rections Department and another $5,000 to meet an overrun in the expenses of the convention itself.

County Administra-tor Deborah Shackett described the Correc-tions Department as “in dire straits” as the number of inmates has swelled to as many as 151, well over the capacity of the jail. She said that Super-intendent Dan Ward has been compelled to place inmates in three other county jails, which have begun to present their bills. At the same time, she

LACONIA — Pickleball, a sport which combines the elements of tennis, ping pong and badminton, has proved increasingly popular at the Laconia Community Center, where it was introduced this summer and has developed a loyal following in the last several months.

MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes School Dis-trict has received a refund in excess of $337,000 from the Local Government Center representing excess premiums the district paid for health insurance for its employees for 2010 and 2011, the School Board was told last night.

Assistant Superinten-dent Trish Temperino said that $337,318.66 was paid to the district in the form of a credit toward its $1.3 mil-lion health insurance bill for the current school year. An additional $49,792.71 will be refunded to current and former teachers and other district employees for what they paid toward the cost of their insurance.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will nominate Federal Reserve vice chair Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chairman of the nation’s central bank, the White House said Tues-day. Yellen would be the first woman to head the powerful Fed, taking over at a pivotal time for the economy and the bank-ing industry.

Both Yellen and Bernanke are scheduled to appear with Obama at the White House

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner offered hints of possible com-promise but also traded heated rhetoric Tuesday, a frustratingly inconclusive com-bination that left the eight-day partial government shutdown firmly in place and the threat of an unprecedented national default drawing closer.

“There’s a crack there,” Republican Boeh-ner said of the impasse in a brief interview near the end of a day of maneuvering at the White House and the Capitol. But he

WASHINGTON (AP) — A decision by the Obama administration to require that consumers create online accounts before they can browse health overhaul insur-ance plans appears to have led to many of the glitches that have frustrated custom-ers, independent experts say.

CONCORD (AP) — Dan Innis, a Republican and dean of the Uni-versity of New Hamp-shire business school, launched his campaign for Congress Wednes-day by emphasizing his humble upbringing and outsider status.

Innis, who also owns a Portsmouth inn with his husband, announced his campaign via an online video. Though he’s never run for office before, he said the national landscape is so dire given the growing deficit, national debt and Washington grid-lock, he’s determined to do something about it.

“I believe we are a gov-ernment of the people, by the people. I’m one of the people, and I want to change the discus-sion in Washington,” he told The Associated Press. “I think we need people to go down there to change Washing-ton, not let Washington change them.”

Innis said his com-ments were not directed at former Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta,

Stocks fell significantly — the Dow Jones average by 159 points — as political gridlock endured. And, in the latest in a string of dire warnings, the International Monetary Fund said failure to raise America’s debt limit could lead to default and disrupt worldwide financial markets, raise interest rates and push the U.S economy back into recession.

Republicans “don’t get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs,” Obama said at the White House. “They don’t also

Even the deaths of U.S. servicemen over the weekend in Afghanistan were grist for the politicians. The Pentagon said that because of the partial shutdown it was unable to pay the customary death ben-efits to the survivors.

Obama to nominate Janet Yellen, would be first woman to head Fedon Wednesday for a formal announcement.

Bernanke’s term ends in January, com-pleting a remarkable eight-year tenure in which he helped pull the U.S. economy out of the worst financial crisis and recession since the 1930’s.

Under Bernanke’s leadership, the Fed created extraordinary programs after the financial crisis erupted in 2008. It lent money to banks after credit markets froze, cut its key short-term interest rate to near

zero and bought trillions in bonds to lower long-term borrowing rates.

Those programs are credited with help-ing save the U.S. banking system.

Yellen emerged as the leading candidate after Lawrence Summers, a former Trea-sury secretary whom Obama was thought to favor, withdrew from consideration last month in the face of rising opposition.

Yellen, 67, would likely continue steering see FED page 5

NEW YORK (AP) — An off-duty undercover police detective was arrested late Tuesday after investiga-tors said he was shown on video hitting and kicking an SUV when a biker rally spiraled into violence.

Wojciech Braszczok surrendered to face riot and criminal mischief charges, New York Police Depart-ment spokesman John McCarthy said.

Braszczok was expected to make a court appear-ance Wednesday. There was no response to phone messages left with his attorney.

The attorney, Phil Karasyk, had said Monday that the detective, a 10-veteran of the force, had only witnessed other bikers attacking the vehicle. But investigators discovered video evidence showing

CONCORD (AP) — A special panel considering whether New Hampshire should expand its Medic-aid program to poor adults voted Tuesday to recom-mend doing so, but with a catch.

The board voted 8-1 to recommend that the Legis-lature meet in special session this fall and authorize the expansion beginning Jan. 1. The expansion could only take place, however, if a requirement is also put in place that poor adults with jobs participate in a program where the state pays to keep them on their employer’s private insurance plan if it’s more cost-effective than Medicaid.

Making that program mandatory would require a federal waiver.

Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, proposed that the state get the waiver prior to starting the program. She said she was confi dent the state and federal governments would act quickly enough to imple-ment the expansion Jan. 1.

The panel also backed an option for people who are ineligible for the program. It would give them individual assistance to purchase private insurance through the new online markets central to Presi-dent Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law.

Last week, a majority of panel members agreed to recommend expanding Medicaid to add residents under age 65 who earn up to 138 percent of federal poverty guidelines. The majority agreed with the overall idea of expanding Medicaid for those earning about $15,000 a year for a single adult and $32,500 annually for a family of four, while relying as much as possible on private insurance.

The panel voted 6-2 with one member abstaining to approve a draft of a plan based on the votes taken last week and Tuesday. The board meets next week to take a fi nal vote on the report.

graceful” for the administration to interpret the measure otherwise. He said the House would clarify the issue with a new bill on Wednesday.

In Congress, a plan by Senate Democrats to raise the debt limit by $1 trillion to stave off a possible default drew little evidence of support from Republicans.

And a proposal by the House Republicans to create a working group of 20 lawmakers to tackle defi cit issues drew a veto threat from the White House, the latest in a string of them as the administration insists the GOP reopen the government and avert default before any negotiations on defi cit reduction or the three-year-old health care law can take place.

mechanism for creating accounts, but reports of delays persisted Tuesday.

For President Barack Obama, glitches involving his signature legislation are an unwelcome twist. A devoted smartphone user, his political campaigns were models of high-tech effi ciency. Yet the problems that have surfaced so far with healthcare.gov don’t even involve the site’s more complicated functions.

Allowing consumers to browse anonymously was

Special N.H. committee recommends expansion of Medicaid, with a catch

NYC says 1 of bikers involved in attack was off-duty cophim punching an already damaged back window, then twice kicking the side of the SUV before leav-ing the scene, according to two people familiar with the case. The people weren’t authorized to discuss the inquiry and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

The arrest added to the complexities of the Sept. 29 episode, which authorities say began with a reck-less motorcycle group ride on a Manhattan highway and ended with one motorcyclist run over and the driver dragged from his SUV and beaten on a street.

Four bikers aside from Braszczok have been crimi-nally charged; the latest was arraigned Tuesday on gang assault and other charges.

On a day in which both Obama and Boehner appeared on live television, both men appeared to be giving ground yet yielding little if anything of substance.

At midmorning, Boehner and other Republicans seemed to soften their demands.

“I suspect we can work out a mechanism to raise the debt ceiling while a negotiation is underway,” said Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican who is close to Boehner.

A few hours later, Obama told a news conference he was willing to negotiate with Republicans on budget and other issues if Congress passed even short-term legislation to end the crisis.

Police Community Room should be open again soon

LACONIA — The Laconia Police Community room should be open again within the next two weeks, said Parks and Recreation/Facilities Direc-tor Kevin Dunleavy yesterday.

Dunleavy said Controlled Technolo-gies, the company that the city uses for all its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) needs, installed a re-heat coil valve in the system on Monday.

“Now all we have to do is replace a few ceiling tiles and have our janitorial service clean the room,” Dunleavy said.

The Community Room has been closed to police and the general public since July, when an air quality test indicated there were some significant humidity-related problems.

The station was built about 10 years ago and the northwest corner of the building is on a cement slab that is near the water table level. Like many other buildings in New England, the extreme high amounts of humidity this past summer, coupled with exces-sive amounts of rain, contributed to the poor air quality test results and, in some cases, mold problems.

Dunleavy said a few of the ceiling tiles in the room showed some damp-ness as did the carpet on the floor.

He said the city decided not to replace the carpet with a special type of flooring this year but chose to wait until next spring and summer to see if the problem recurs with the spring rains and summer humidity. He said the city was hoping the work Con-

4 men indicted for ‘rioting’ at Belknap County JailLACONIA — Four area men were indicted by a

Belknap County grand jury last week for “rioting” for their roles in an assault on a fifth man while all five were incarcerated in the county jail. Rioting is defined by state law as two or more persons assembling for the purpose of engaging in tumultuous or violent conduct.

Jason Fournier, 23, whose last known address was in Meredith; Zackarie Lesko-Lebeau, 22, whose last known address was in Belmont; Andrew Soboleski, 20, whose last known address was in Laconia; and Zacharie Farrell, 21, whose last known address was in Gilmanton are also charged with one count each of assault by prisoners.

All of the new charges are felonies.According to Superintendent Daniel Ward, all

four of the accused and the victim were incarcerated in the same medium security ward at the Belknap County Jail on or about June 7 and all were accused or convicted of a variety of crimes.

According to a Department of Corrections spokes-man, Fournier was awaiting trial for theft, Soboleski was awaiting trial for burglary, Farrell was awaiting trial for burglary, and the victim was awaiting trial for armed robbery. He had no record for Lesko-Leb-eau meaning he had likely never been sentenced to the N.H. State Prison.

As of yesterday Soboleski is in the N.H. State Prison in Berlin and the victim is in the N.H. State Prison in Concord. Fournier and Farrell are on pro-bation and there is no record of Lesko-Lebeau.

Ward said it appears that on June 7, 2013 the four ganged up on the victim, who he said was not seri-ously injured. He said guards were able to break up the fight without calling the Sheriff ’s Department or the Laconia Police for assistance.

Ward said he doesn’t know what triggered the fight and fighting is a rather common occurrence. He said the four alleged aggressors appeared before an internal disciplinary board and all were punished.

He said the victim was relocated to a separate unit for his own safety.

“Our job is to keep them secure and safe until release,” he said, saying the Department of Correc-tions has zero tolerance for fighting.

He said other inmates just stood around and watched.

“They generally don’t want to get involved,” he said “although they will occasionally call the control room to report the fight.”

He said each mens’ medium security wards houses 16 prisoners.

As of yesterday, Ward said he had 154 men and women incarcerated through Belknap County. He said 25 of the men had to be transferred to different county jails in order to avoid crowding and the ones who were transferred are serving sentences. The jail was built to hold 87 people.

Ward said he doesn’t like to have people who are awaiting trial leave Belknap County because it’s too expensive to transport them to and from the court-houses in Laconia.


Fed policy in the same direction as Bernanke. A close ally of the chairman, she has been a key architect of the Fed’s efforts under Bernanke to keep interest rates near record lows to support the economy.

As vice chair since 2010, Yellen has helped manage both the Fed’s traditional tool of short-term rates and the unconventional programs it launched to help sustain the economy after the financial crisis erupted in 2008. These include the Fed’s monthly bond purchases and its guidance to investors about the likely direction of rates.

“She’s an excellent choice and I believe she’ll be confirmed by a wide margin,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.

Obama’s choice of Yellen coincides with a key turning point for the Fed. Within the next several months, the Fed is expected to start slowing the pace of its Treasury and mortgage bond purchases if the economy strengthens. The Fed’s purchases have been intended to keep loan rates low to encourage borrowing and spending.

Pat Buchanan

One way or another, the battle of the budget and the debt ceiling will be over by All Hallows’ Eve. Yet, as one looks deeper, at the irreconcil-able conflict behind the present clash, only a roaring optimist would imagine we shall ever know again the tranquility and unity of the Eisenhower-Kennedy years.

Consider the bile dumped upon Tea Party Republicans by Barack Obama, Harry Reid and their camp followers in the national press. What did the Tea Party do to deserve this? Answer: These extremists shut down the U.S. gov-ernment, they’re holding America hostage, and they’re inflicting ter-rible suffering on innocent people.

But is this true? Three times in a fortnight, the House has voted to fund every department, agency, and program of the government — except Obamacare. Who, then, is truly shut-ting down the government?

What we are witnessing here is the unfolding of the Big Lie — the constant repetition of a transpar-ent falsehood — to persuade a pliable public not only to believe it, but to recite it, as in Orwell’s “1984.” Obamacare, we are told, was enacted by Congress, signed by the president, upheld by the Supreme Court, confirmed by Obama’s vic-tory in 2012. To try to defund or reform it amounts to an attempted coup, an overturning of the elec-tion results of November. But does not Congress have the power of the purse to fund or defund any pro-gram it chooses? Is that not in the Constitution?

And have not the last three years exposed glaring flaws in Obam-acare? Have not severely adverse consequences turned up in wide-spread layoffs and a reversion to part-time help? Did not the Cleve-land Clinic say it will have to let 3,000 people go?

Why then is the House’s exer-cise of its constitutional authority to defund Obamacare, which polls show a majority of Americans favor, such a moral outrage?

This brings us to the underlying conflict.

The Obamacare battle is part of a larger struggle between a party of government and a conservative party that fears America is head-ing down a road traveled by Greece, Italy and Spain. Now the party of government can surely claim credit for Social Security, Medicare, Med-icaid and Obamacare. Yet, that same party is also responsible for driving New York City to the brink of bankruptcy in the 1970s and for the disaster that is Detroit today. That party is also responsible for an unsustainable welfare state where half the U.S. population pays zero income taxes but consumes hun-

dreds of billions yearly in social wel-fare benefits.

And how are the people who pre-side over this annual redistribution of America’s wealth faring? Just fine, thank you.

According to the latest data from the Census Bureau, the four coun-ties in the United States with the highest median family income are all in the D.C. area: Arlington, Lou-doun and Fairfax County, Va., and Howard County, Md. Maryland’s Montgomery County, just north of D.C., ranks 7. Five of the top ten. Not bad, eh?

Though 120,000 D.C. residents are on food stamps, the city boasts a median family income higher than all but four states. And D.C. leads the nation in the number of bedroom counties, nine, where the median family income exceeds $100,000.

Big government and the Fat City are one in Barack Obama’s America.

And how does the Tea Party imperil the country? First, they risk taking America over the cliff into default. But that raises a ques-tion: Since the Tea Party folks are newcomers to town, who brought America to the edge of this cliff? What radical added $6 trillion to our national debt in five years? Or did the Tea Party do that?

Almost all now agree that the entitlement programs — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid — threaten to consume the budget. Is the Tea Party responsible for this gathering disaster? Was the Tea Party beating the drums for those trillion-dollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is the Tea Party responsible for our being committed to fighting other countries’ wars and paying other countries’ bills, in per-petuity, through foreign aid?

When the Tea Party says the Fed’s QE3 amounts to printing money and inflating the currency, that it is creating stock market and real estate bubbles certain to burst, and that the dollar’s future as the world’s reserve currency is imperiled, do they not have a point? These same views are today being echoed by economists and writers, few of whom are ever likely to show up wearing side arms at God and Country Rallies.

And just where did our commu-nity-organizer president learn his economics. From Saul Alinksy’s “Rules for Radicals”? From his senate days in Springfield, capital of the state that is the odds-on favorite to be first in the nation to default on its debts?

The Tea Party is feared and detested in Washington because these folks threaten the ideology, the vested interests, and most criti-cal of all, the rice bowls in this city that voted 15-1 for Obama.

Did Tea Party put U.S. $16.7 trillion in debt?

LETTERSA rant against raising debt ceiling came from Sen. Obama in ’06To The Daily Sun,

In our spiral to third-world status, we twisted from sequestration (still growing) to shut down in seven months. Will default follow in 17 days?

Other than Denmark, we are the only developed nation on the planet with a debt ceiling. Nothing in our Constitution requires it. No rationale justifies it.

It began as a charade in 1917. As America prepared to enter World War I, it needed financial resources to raise and equip an army. The Wilson Administration proposed selling Lib-erty Bonds to raise funds; that is, it proposed borrowing money to fight the war.

To comfort skeptical Americans, Congress wrote a debt ceiling into the Second Liberty Bond Act. Its purpose was not to limit spending and borrow-ing. It was to reassure the public that Congress could control spending even as it approved a credit line.

It was a ruse. There was no need for the law. The Constitution unequivo-cally gives Congress the power to tax, pay debts and borrow money. Con-gress perpetuates its absolute “control of the purse strings” through authori-zation and appropriation processes.

An authorization is a law giving government entities the okay to spend designated amounts for purposes specified in the legislation. No govern-ment entity can spend a nickel with-out Congressional authorization.

An appropriation is an entirely sep-arate law that actually makes money available. Again, a government entity cannot spend a nickel until Congress appropriates the nickel.

It is like a mother telling her child, “You can buy the smartphone. Go ask your father for the money.” If the kid gets the money, mom authorized it; dad appropriated it.

In its nearly century-long existence, the ceiling never significantly curbed spending or borrowing. The reason is straightforward. Raising the debt ceil-ing is not a policy, spending or borrow-ing decision (although many would have us think it is all three). It is a mathematical imperative.

While debt ceiling as fiscal restraint has proved useless, it has provided a

near perfect vehicle for Congressional demagogy and grandstanding. Mem-bers of Congress could berate debt with impunity. No matter how loudly they wailed and strutted, there was no downside. Congress had to raise the ceiling. The money had been autho-rized, appropriated and spent.

A near perfect rant came from Senator Barack Obama of Illinois in 2006, when he voted against a raise: “(Raising the debt) is a sign of lead-ership failure . . . that (government cannot) pay its own bills . . . that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our (recklessness. . . . This) weakens us domestically and interna-tionally. . . . Americans deserve better.”

Of course, there was always a small, but real danger demagogues might command a majority. If that happened, though it seemed farfetched, Congress could stand on principle, vote an ide-ology and crash the economy. (Who could be that stupid?)

When the debt ceiling became law — America was a bit player in plan-etary economics. Today, as the Great Recession (2007 – 2009) demon-strated, America plays lead. Its turbo capitalism nearly brought down the world’s economy.

As it stands, the Department of the Treasury has said it will run out of money Oct. 17. Several independent analysts think Nov. 1 is more realistic.

So, what happens to America if it defaults? The best answer is we do not know, but it looks scary, very scary.

In 2011, just by publicly considering it, confidence fell, hiring declined, the recovery stalled, Standard & Poor’s downgraded our credit worthiness and the stock market (Dow Jones) dove 14 percent. (In today’s 15,000-point market, 14 percent would be 2,100 points.)

We should anticipate an actual default to be worse than a scare of default on confidence, recovery (per-haps a new recession or worse), our credit rating and the markets. Over time, we might find costs to borrow (nationally and individually) will be elevated for years or decades and our standard of living damaged for a gen-

eration or more.Two parting thoughts:Is the Constitutional authority

given Congress to pay debts also the authority to renege on debts? It would be something if after plunging the planet into depression, destroying our credibility, undermining the dollar, condemning our children to lesser lives and making our homilies to be emulated a joke, the Supreme Court

said Congress did not have suicidal authorities?

Section 4 of the 14th Amendment reads, “The validity of the public debt . . . shall not be questioned.” If the president evokes this provision to pay debt after Congress reneges, what new Constitutional and political crises arise? What new spin deepens the spiral?

To The Daily Sun,It’s that time of year again! The

Meredith Emergency Food pantry uses its own funds to fill the shelves in preparation for the holidays. It can be a monthly bill of $2,000 for the food pantry. The pantry cannot sur-vive on the account funds alone; it NEEDS donations! There are many, many families in need of assistance and part of being a community is to reach out and support in any way we can. With that being said, the caring educational people of the Inter-Lakes school system would like to assist!

The Inter-Lakes Education Associa-tion (I-LEA) and the Inter-Lakes Sup-port Staff Association (I-LSSA) are now planning the 4th annual Indoor Yard Sale. These associations are the teachers and paraeducators of the Inter-Lakes School District.

The food pantry is in need of help; therefore, 100 percent of the money from the yard sale will be donated to the food pantry.

In addition to many donated items there will also be baked goods and specialty baskets for sale.

Please support this yard sale to help families in need as the holidays approach. Let’s all chip in to make this event a successful one! Last year we raised $2000 for the pantry.

The indoor yard sale will be Satur-day, October 19. This event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Inter-Lakes Elementary School in the multi-pur-pose room. The elementary school is located behind the high school (Laker Lane) off Route 25 in Meredith.

Donations for the yard sale may be dropped off Friday, October 18 from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. or the morning of the yard sale on Saturday from 7 to 8 a.m. (no electronics).

If anyone would like to bring a non-perishable item, we will have a collec-tion box that will go to the food pantry after the event. Any questions, feel free to contact Alesia Parks at [email protected].

The Meredith Emergency Food Pantry is located at 147 Main St. and is open for donations Mon. – Fri. 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

We have a shutdown because Obama wants to bludgeon GOPTo The Daily Sun,

The partial government shutdown is President Obama’s political theater, intended to intimidate Republicans into ending their opposition to Obam-acare, continued reckless spend-ing, Obama’s job killing policies, and Obama’s appointment of radical left-wingers to key government positions.

Without media hype, most Ameri-cans wouldn’t notice the “shutdown”. To increase the pain and get attention President Obama spent more money to shutdown things never closed before, such as open air monuments like the WWII and Viet Nam Memo-rials, where he erected barriers and sent more guards to prevent access than normally there.

Republicans passed a bill to fund every part of government except for two minor Obamacare changes to

which Democrats object.Republicans say big business

shouldn’t get a one year delay from Obamacare requirements unless indi-viduals get a delay too. And, Repub-licans don’t want highly paid (on average double the private sector) sen-ators, congressmen, and their staffs to get 3/4s of their health care premiums paid by taxpayers over and above any normal Obamacare subsidies.

President Obama stated that these Republican changes wouldn’t stop Obamacare, so these aren’t the reason for the shutdown.

There is a partial government shutdown because President Obama believes he can win a political victory and bludgeon Republicans into drop-ping opposition to anything he wants.

Franklin voters sent strong message but we must stay vigilanteTo The Daily Sun,

Elections are over. Disappointing results. The voters of Franklin sent a strong message, but those who won are too darn pompous to get it! The mayoral race was won by incumbent Ken Marrifield — a mere 50 vote advantage. That number would not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Glenn Morrill campaigned against him for less than a week.

The school board three year term should have been won by Gwen Hall.

The 38 votes for the school board, two year term, were obviously intended for her. Even so she lost the three year seat by only 11 votes.

We move on. Those of you who cared enough to write in the “write-ins” — we need to stay vigilante! Remember, those elected should not be working for you and what is best for all the citi-zens of Franklin and not a token few.

LACONIA — The Huot Regional Technical Education Center reno-vation/construction project is 99.99 percent complete and is on-time and on-budget, said School District Busi-ness Administrator Ed Emond.

The final cost of the project was $16.8 million, of which $850,000 was raised privately — either through personal gifts or through a number of corporate sponsors. An additional $200,000 of in-kind donations helped a capital fundraising campaign exceed exceed its $1 million goal.

Emond said to date, $550,000 of the $850,000 cash pledges has been received. $85,000 was taken in over homecoming weekend, he reported.

In the meantime, all of the contrac-tors have been paid. The “city pays the bills,” Emond said, adding that as money from pledges comes in, it goes to reimburse the city.

Management of the project on the Laconia High School campus was headed by a Joint Building Commit-tee that included members of the School Board and City Council.

The project consisted of build-ing a separate, 32,000-square-foot Huot Center building along Dewey Street, renovating some of the same previously Huot-occupied space (28,000-square-feet) as state-of the art science labs and classrooms now known as the Richard Dearborn Sci-ence Center, and building the Bank of New Hampshire Stadium — including Jim Fitzgerald Field, the upper Bobo-tas field, and a smaller playing field located directly behind the school.

Funding for the project came from a mishmash of combined sources, with $7.125 million coming from State School Building Aid made available through the N.H. Capital Budget in

Huot Center / science labs / football stadium project complete at $16.8 M

2012-2013. Another $6.5 million came from a interest-free federal QZAB (Qualified Zone Academy Bond) and $2.375 million was borrowed by the city. Private donations ranged from the $250,000 donated by the Bank of New Hampshire to multiple $500 and $1,000 donations from local residents and businesses.

City Councilor Matt Lahey was the head of the capital campaign that raised the $1 million and said he wanted to thank the taxpayers of Laconia for supporting the Huot Proj-ect. As for the individual donors, large and small, Lahey said they made the project possible.

“What really made it special was the in-kind assistance that helped us built the niceties — like the press box and the concession stand,” Lahey said. He also gave special thanks to Emond and City Councilor Bob Hamel who were constant presences during the construction period.

As for the actual balance sheet presented to the most recent Joint Building Committee, $849,691 was contributed or promised by indi-viduals and corporate sponsors and Emond said an additional $52,000 is anticipated, leaving $101,629 in a cash shortfall, after public funding is included.

On the asset side, the project had $36,629 left over in the contingency fund, a $40,000 balance in the profes-sional services account and estimated Public Service of New Hampshire rebates of $25,000 totaling $101,629.

The fund-raising campaign contin-ues said Lahey.

Emond said that there are three granite steps leading up the stadium still available for inscription at $5,000 each. He said that “once the steps are gone, they’re gone” and this is the last chance for someone to purchase a step.


MEREDITH — The Board of Select-men this week unanimously agreed to proceed with a plan to improve safety on Rte. 104 at its intersections with Chase Road and Meredith Center Road proposed by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT).

Jon Hebert, a design engineer with DOT, presented two options for manag-ing eastbound traffic on Rte. 104 making turns on to Chase Road, the first a dedi-cated left-turn lane of 300 feet and the second a lane allowing through-traffic to bypass turning vehicles. In addition, the entrance to Chase Road would be reconfigured to ease the flow traffic turning in and out of the road.

Hebert said that adding a left-turn lane could encounter right-of-way issues, which would likely delay the

project, while a bypass lane would be simpler and less expensive to con-struct. In approving the project, the Selectboard opted for the bypass lane.

At the intersection with Meredith Center Road the eastbound lane of Rte. 104 would be realigned to improve the sight line for motorists turning on to the highway.

The proposal followed a safety audit undertaken by DOT in partner-ship with the Lakes Region Planning Commission and the town. Hebert expected the project would be put out to bid in September 2014 with work to begin in September 2015. When Selectman Herb Vadney asked if work could be completed before the volume of traffic mounted in the summer, Hebert replied that it was reasonable to expect that work would be com-pleted before July 4.

amount of the refunds to employees and retiree would vary. Eligible employees still working in the Inter-Lakes District will receive their refunds in this week’s pay check. Retirees and other former employ-ees will receive their refund in a separate check.

The amount of the credit/refund is much larger than the district had originally expected. Temperino told the board that the district anticipated a credit of $94,633 for 2011 insurance premiums and had calculated that when preparing the current budget. However, in June the district was informed that there would be a credit — or so-called premium holiday — for 2010 insurance premiums as well, resulting in an additional credit to the district of $240,264.39.

The credit and refunds are being issued under the terms of a state Bureau of Securities Regulations’ order that the LGC repay $53.4 million to towns and school districts overcharged by the nonprofit organiza-tion, which operates self-funded risk pools for health care coverage and workers compensation insurance.

The Bureau of Securities Regulation found the LGC violated state law by improperly collecting money and retaining unnecessary surplus funds. The organization also improperly transferred assets, subsidizing one insurance pool (workers’ compensa-tion) at the expense of another (health), the bureau said, in order to try and build a new business line.

The organization believes the large reserves kept rates stable for members and reduced long-term costs. Critics, however, said the surplus should have been returned to its members rather that used for other purposes, such as funding the start-up of a workers’ compensation program.

NOTES: The board set Saturday, June 14, 2014 as the date for the Inter-Lakes High School graduation. The date coincides with the beginning of Motorcycle Week, but the traffic and noise are expected to be much less than the following Saturday when Bike Week crowds typically peak. If snowstorms delay the end of the school year, high school Principal Patti Kennelly recommended the graduation take place on Tuesday, June 17. The graduation ceremo-nies will take place in Prescott Park, as was the case this year. . . . . . The board approved an online pro-gram be used to teach Spanish at Sandwich Central School. Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond said that the school has had problems in recruiting and keeping qualified teachers for the part-time posi-tion. She said that school Principal John Hansen hopes to hire a part-time classroom assistant, fluent in Spanish, who would work with the students and augment the on-line instruction, which is provided by Middlebury College in Vermont. . . . . . Ormond told the board the district’s official enrollment as of Oct. 1 was 1,097 students. She expected that enroll-ment would remain fairly constant for the next five years. The Inter-Lakes District has 189 fewer stu-dents than 10 years ago, Ormond noted. . . . . . The board set March 5 as the date for the annual School District meeting.

noted that the cost of transporting inmates to and from facilities for court appearances has strained the budget of the Sheriff ’s Department.

Rep. Colette Worsman, who chairs the convention, reminded Shackett that there would be no short-fall if the commissioners had not shuffled funds appropriated by the convention to fund benefits for employees, which the convention struck from its 2013 budget.

Likewise, Worsman questioned the commission-er’s decision to invest $60,000, which was originally appropriated to the Sheriff ’s Department but since rendered unnecessary by receipt of a grant, in a timekeeping system. “Another year we will have wasted taxpayers’ money, hard-earned taxpapyers’ money, on something foolish,” she snapped.

Rep. Frank Tilton (R-Laconia), chairman of the Executive Committee, asked if the commission intended to present its plan for the timekeeping system to the convention. “We will definitely tell you what are plans are,” replied John Thomas, chairman of the commission, who explained that the system would enhance efficiency.

Shackett told the Executive Committee that the convention “will overspend its budget with every meeting you have, starting with this one.” She said that the commissioners are bound by law to pay members of convention $25 per day for each meet-ing they attend.

In refusing to approve the requested transfers, Tilton said that the commissioners failed to provide the Executive Committee sufficient notice. “We’re not going to be acting when you drop it on us like this,” he said. Shackett reminded him that the com-missioners requested the $52,000 for the Correc-

inches lower. The game is played with a hard paddle and a polymer, smaller version of a whiffle ball.

A pickleball ball typically moves at one-third of the average speed of a tennis ball and the court is just under one-third of the total area of a tennis court. The net is hung at 36 inches on the ends, and 34 inches in the middle. The court is striped like a tennis court, with no alleys; but the outer courts, and not the inner courts, are divided in half by ser-vice lines. The inner courts are non-volley zones and extend seven feet from the net on either side.

The ball is served underhand from behind the baseline, diagonally to the opponent’s service zone and points are scored only by the serving team when their serve is not returned or is hit out of bounds. The winner is the first team or player to reach 11 points and have a two-point lead at that point.

‘’We have pickleball from 6:45 to 10 p.m. on Monday nights and on Thursdays from 8;45 to 11;45 a.m. One of the best things is that the players are really friendly and eager to teach people new to the game how to play,’’ says Lovisek.

She said that equipment and a paddle are avail-able for new players and that the cost is $2 per person for each session of play.

tions Department during the budget process and in August advised the convention it would overspend its budget.

Shackett said that she would recommend the com-missioners charge the convention’s expenses to the contingency account, which now has a balance of $202,000. She explained that one statute required them to pay the expenses while another forbid them to spend more than was appropriated. At the same time, she said that when other counties submit bills for housing the county’s inmates, she will propose charging them to contingency.

Meanwhile, when the Executive Committee con-ducted its quarterly review of revenues and expen-ditures, Worsman again questioned the budgeting of administrative salaries, particularly those of Shackett and Finance Director Glen Waring, which are charged to both the administrative and nursing home budgets. “Transparency is critical,” she insisted, explaining that is why the convention assigned the salaries entirely to the administrative budget.

“It should be apparent that you got a $26,000 raise over the last four years,” Worsman told Shackett. “The commission didn’t like the budget we adopted so they found a way around it.”

“That’s absolutely not true,” countered Thomas. “I take exception to that.”

Shackett said that administrative salaries were shared between the two departments to accurately reflect the costs of operating the nursing home and ensure appropriate reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid. “This is proper accounting according to our auditors,” she added. Shackett said that the salary schedule is a public document, which has not been withheld from either the county convention or the general public.

LACONIA — After closing the gas station at the corner of South Main Street and Garfield Street, Jeff Pierson, president of Foley Oil Company, said yes-terday that he is working with the Department of Environmental Services (DES) to prepare the prop-erty for redevelopment.

Contrary to a recent report in The Citizen, Pierson said that there are no failed underground fuel tanks on the site. He explained that in 1993 the existing tanks were replaced in anticipation of stiffer regu-lations that became effective in 1998. The double-wall tanks, approved and authorized by DES, were equipped with monitoring system that operated 24 hours a day seven days a week and sounded an alarm if the outer wall was breached by groundwa-ter or the inner wall by fuel.

“In 20 years we never had a leak,” Pierson said. “We have always been in compliance and to this day there is nothing wrong with the tanks in the ground.”

However, Pierson said that when new regulations become effective in 2015 the company would have to invest as much as $100,000 in both tanks and pumps to remain in compliance with state and fed-eral environmental regulations. He said that since sales at the location would not warrant the expen-diture he chose to close the station. “This was our choice as a company,” he said.

Owner says no underground leaks from tanks at former gas station site on South Main Street

Pierson said that the company will decommission the station by removing the tanks, along with other material tainted by petroleum products during the approximately 50 years the property has housed a gas station and repair shop. “Quite a bit of mate-rial will be removed then replaced with clean fill and paved,” he said, stressing that the company will fund the work, which will be performed to standards set by DES.

Meanwhile, DES will remove contaminated mate-rials from an area around the property, including a section of Garfield Street, where several other ser-vice stations operated in the past. The project will be financed by the New Hampshire Petroleum Reim-bursement Program, which draws on four separate funds accrued from surcharges on the sale of petro-leum products.

Pierson said that because Foley Oil Company enjoyed an unbroken record of compliance, DES was authorized to share in the cost of remediating the effects of past fueling operations in the vicinity of the station.

Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that Pierson first approached her about a year ago about redeveloping the property, indicating that he would prefer a use that served the neighborhood. He said that the building will be renovated so it is suitable for rent, but otherwise he has no specific plan for the property other than improving it to do justice to its prominent location.


who also is seeking the Republican nomination in the First District, though he said he would take a different approach than Guinta because he is not a career poli-tician. Guinta, who was twice elected to the state Leg-islature and served two terms as mayor, represented the district for one term in Washington before being defeated by Democrat Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in 2012.

Innis, 50, grew up in Ohio, where his father some-times worked two jobs and the family struggled to stay afloat. He was the first in his family to attend college, and began his academic career at Ohio Uni-versity in 1991 as an assistant professor of market-ing. In 2002, he became dean of the University of

Maine’s college of business, public policy and health, and in 2007, was named dean of the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire. He is stepping down from that position Nov. 1 but will remain on the faculty.

“People sort of look at where I am now and they might think, ‘Oh, this guy’s ivory tower,’” he said. “Far from it.”

Innis said his four priorities in Congress would be controlling spending, shrinking the size of the federal government, reforming the tax system and making smart investments in infrastructure and education. He doesn’t have a specific list of targets, but said Congress must stop lurching from crisis

TILTON — The Franklin Savings Bank Fund for Community Advancement honored nine local orga-nizations who are working to make a difference in their communities at an awards gathering held at the Greenside Restaurant at Lochmere Country Club Tuesday evening.

Jeff Savage, bank president and CEO said that Fund for Community Advancement was formed with a one million dollar investment in 1997 to provide support for substantial projects by non-profit groups that signifi-cantly enhance the lives of people in the communities that make up the primary market area of the bank.

He said that fund has been established as a fund within the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and that the Fund Committee is comprised of mem-bers of both the bank’s trustees and management. Savage said the fund has distributed 146 grants total-ing $753,000 in 32 different rounds of grants and dis-tributed over $34,000 in its most recent round.

Savage thanked Rob Steady, bank treasurer, for serving as chairman of the fund since its inception and introduced Mary ‘’Meg’’ Miller, new fund chair-man, who said that the grant process is streamlined

to meet the needs of groups seeking assistance and doesn’t require that they hire a grant writer.

Ron Magoon, executive vice president and chief operating officer, said that the fund has contributed to the quality of life on central New Hampshire, helping make it a great place to live and to work.

He announced the award recipients who included:American Red Cross of New Hampshire, repre-

sented by Alice Walton, development coordinator.Central N.H. Special Operations Unit, repre-

sented by John Duval, Concord Police Chief.The Circle Program, Kathy Kearns, executive director.Gordon-Nash Library, Cathy Vincvic, library director.N.H. Food Bank of N.H. Catholic Charities, Mela-

A $10 entry fee goes to the fundraiser and includes a complimentary beverage at Patrick’s and entry into the post-shuffle raffle. (Courtesy photo)

GILFORD — Designed as a fund-raising event for the Patrick’s Pub Mania event, the Mania Shuf-fle is gaining traction with 60 “shufflers” participating this past week. “Like Pub Mania, this is about combin-ing fun and making an difference together” explains Patrick’s co-owner Allan Beetle and Pub Mania Head Ref-eree. “It’s a unique way to be part of our Pub Mania event while get-ting outside for some exercise and fun”.

The 2 ½ mile course begins at Patrick’s park-ing lot in Gilford and meanders over and through the beautiful Meadowbrook property before looping back to Pat-rick’s. Organizers stress that the Mania Shuffle is not designed to be a competi-tive event. The $10 entry fee will be donated to the Pub Mania team of your choice and includes a complimentary beverage and chance to win in a post-shuffle raffle.

The Mania Shuffle will run through October 30, rain or shine, and participants who complete the course at least 5 times get a special, limited edition Mania Shuf-fle T Shirt. Start time is now 5:45 p.m. but will move to earlier times in the coming weeks so that participants

can be off the road before it is too dark.100% of the proceeds of the Mania Shuffle will

pass through to the LNH Children’s Auction and on to children, families and programs here in the Lakes Region. Last year Pub Mania raised $165,300 for the LNH Children’s Auction and has now raised $384,570 in the first four years of the event.

MEREDITH — Grace Wellness Center in Mer-edith will be hosting an Introduction to Shamanic Journeying at the Fitness Edge in Meredith on Thursday, October 10 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Shamanic Journeying is an ancient practice of meditation done to the beat of a drum. The beat of the drum is said to make it easier for the mind to journey

Participants will be sitting and lying on the floor, comfortable clothes, mat, pillow, and blanket are recommended. Suggested reading for class: Animal Speak by Ted Andrews, or Animal Spirit Guides by Steven Farmer, or any other reference you have.

The class will be taught by Kimberly, a Certified Usui Reiki Master Teacher, a Level II Integrative Energy Therapy Practitioner and a Spiritual Intui-tive. She is a recipient of the Munay-Ki Rites, and has attended classes in Advanced Shamanic Reiki.

Cost is $35. Class size is limited. Call to reserve a space at 603-707-2071.

What’s the best flooring for your lifestyle?

(NAPSI)—Anyone can have beauti-ful, functional floors-once you review your options. For example, you may have your heart set on hardwood, but laminate may be a better option given your lifestyle. Alternatively, you may admire tile floors, but you might be a lot happier with luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

In order to make the right decision, consider three key factors-budget, wearability and maintenance.

• Hardwood floors are a great choice under the right conditions. Nothing compares to the natural beauty, color, intricate graining and depth of shine of a hardwood floor. Not only easy on the eye, hardwood floors tend to be

warm underfoot too. Quality hard-wood flooring is a big investment but will last a long time and add real value to your home.

Hardwood is timely and time-less and completely authentic, and it comes in many colors, from nearly white to practically black and various warm shades of brown in between.

Though there are many pluses to hardwood, there are some minuses to consider when deciding whether it’s right for you. Bear in mind, all hardwood is not the same; quality and pricing are big factors. Depending on the species, some hardwood floors can take a great deal of wear and tear and still look good. Others, though beau-tiful at first, show the signs of wear very quickly. In any case, you have to clean and care for it properly. This includes not using ammonia clean-ers, oil soaps or a wet mop; using a professional hardwood floor cleaner to remove scuffs and scratches; and cleaning spills immediately. For these reasons, hardwood might not be the

Natural Tile or Luxury Vinyl?

Knowing the facts about different materials can help you choose the right flooring for your lifestyle.

best fit for every home.• In some cases, laminate is a great alternative.

Fortunately, for people who really like the look of wood, there’s an excellent-and much less expen-sive-alternative: laminate flooring. Through highly detailed digitized photography, laminate floors of today duplicate hardwood with tremendous realism that allows for a lower initial cost. What’s more, an inner cork subfloor on some laminate products helps tone down the noise and echoing attributes associ-ated with laminates of yesterday.

Unlike hardwood, a laminate floor will not fade. Pets can also be a problem for hardwood flooring. Laminate, on the other hand, offers a durable wear surface that is highly stain, scratch and moisture resistant.

Because of its durability, hygienic nature and ease of installation and maintenance, laminate floors have become a low-cost alternative to hardwood, stone and tile.

• Is your heart set on stone? Natural stone and porcelain tiles are another popular way to pave your floors. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors, glazed or unglazed, and can be used plain, decorated or as part of a mosaic.

Along with its beauty, natural stone flooring will likely increase your home’s resale value, and it only improves with age.

Stone is also popular because every piece of stone is unique so no two floors are alike. Natural stone varies in hardness as no stone floor has a perfectly smooth surface. There is always a possibility that small chips or pits may show up and be more evi-dent in certain kinds of lighting. It’s a good idea to match the flooring with the kind of activities that will be taking place, as soft, porous stone flooring is probably inappropriate for a high-traffic area.

• Is tile the right fit for your family? A properly installed ceramic tile floor will outperform and out-last nearly any other. Glazed ceramic tile and porce-lain resist stains, odors and dirt and can be cleaned easily.

Environmentally friendly, ceramic tile is manufac-tured using natural materials and does not retain odors, allergens or bacteria. It also does not burn

or emit toxic fumes. It can, however, be expensive and difficult to install, and some people find tile cold underfoot.

• Vinyl floors offer many perks. Luxury vinyl tile, which falls in the “resilient” flooring category, may be a flooring you should consider-especially if you’re concerned about pets and kids. Luxury vinyl tile flooring is a great choice for kitchens and bath-rooms, as well, because it’s “no wax” and easy to keep clean. It’s durable, affordable, water resistant, easy

to install and doesn’t fade or stain.LVT flooring comes in many colors, textures and

patterns and can imitate wood grain, tile, even marble. Since it also comes in sheets, planks and tiles, there’s lots of room for self-expression. A tal-ented installer can use contrasting sheet vinyl for large patterns. Tiles can be arranged any way you want, from checkerboard to stripes to diagonals. Plus, LVT are flexible and soft to walk on. They have a cushy “give” underfoot.

Home renovations with fire safety in mind

(NAPSI)—When it comes to home reno-vations, homeown-ers often value style over safety. That’s the word from experts who say homeowners can increase home safety simply by eliminating electrical hazards that could lead to fire.

Recently, the U.S. Fire Administration reported that in 2011, an estimated 47,700 home structure fires reported to U.S. fire departments involved some type of electrical failure or malfunction as a factor contribut-ing to ignition.

Evaluating Electrical Safety In Your HomeA good way to start is by taking inventory of the outlets around your

home. Take note of any outlets that could benefit from arc fault circuit interrupter, or AFCI, protection.

AFCIs provide protection from arc faults that may lead to electrical fires. Once only available through the home’s circuit breaker, AFCI receptacles are now an inexpensive and safe alternative for added home protection.

Homeowners should keep an eye out for electrical wiring damaged during installation or afterward, through overstapling, crushing, bending, penetration by screws and nails, and through rodent and insect damage.

Over time, cabling may also degrade further due to exposure to elevated temperatures or humidity, eventually leading to arcing faults and poten-tially a fire.

Where Should AFCI Receptacles Be Installed?The latest National Electrical Code requires AFCI protection in family

rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sun-rooms, recreation rooms, closets, hallways or similar rooms or areas.

AFCI receptacles can be installed at the first outlet on a circuit to offer pro-tection to all other outlets on that circuit. Arc-fault protection is extremely

An arc fault circuit interrupter, or AFCI, can provide protection from arc faults that may lead to electrical fires caused by damaged wiring.

important as arc faults are often unseen and can occur anywhere in the home’s electrical system, including within walls as well as appliance cords and other extensions to branch circuit wiring.

How To Protect Your HomeAchieving whole-house electrical safety is a

difficult task, but recent technological advances in the AFCI receptacle market have produced devices capable of offering added protection from arc faults and providing a cost-effective and eas-ier-to-install option.

“Adding AFCI protection is an important safety upgrade to a home’s electrical system. An outlet branch circuit AFCI receptacle is a convenient way of accomplishing that, giving homeown-ers peace of mind that each room is protected,” according to Leviton electrical safety expert Bill Grande.

Grande continued, “An AFCI receptacle is designed to detect a wide range of arcing elec-trical faults to help reduce the likelihood of the electrical system being an ignition source of a fire and is perfect for a remodeling project or new-home construction.”

An estimated 47,700 home structure fires reported to U.S. fire departments involved

some type of electrical failure or malfunction as a factor contributing to ignition.

For your own comfort now and your profit when the

time comes to sell, it pays to get thoroughly acquainted with all the ins and outs of taking care of your new home.

What To DoThese tips can help

you maximize the safety and efficiency of the place as you make it your own:

• Check filters. Inspect filters in the furnace, air condi-tioner and range hood and clean or replace as necessary. If the pre-vious owners didn’t leave product manuals behind, search for them online to find the manu-facturers’ maintenance recommendations.

• Change lightbulbs. Consider swapping existing lightbulbs for more energy-efficient models or simply wait for the old ones to burn out and make the change as you go. Longer-lasting LED lighting offers energy efficiencies.

• Check the water

heater. Experts recom-mend setting the water heater at 120° F, which is comfortable for most uses and minimizes energy use. To save even more energy, insulate the water heater with an insulating blanket, which can be found at most hardware stores.

• Upgrade the ther-mostat. Installing a programmable thermo-stat can save up to 10 percent a year on heat-ing and cooling when you program it to fall back 7 to 10 degrees while you’re away at work. Prices start around $20 for basic

models that most hom-eowners can install themselves. With many, you can set the program so your house is already comfortable when you return home.

• Consider window film. Installing window film for sun control can help reduce energy

use and protect fur-nishings from fading. For example, 3M Sun Control Window Films can reduce cooling costs by up to 25 per-cent by rejecting solar heat. They also help block up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays to minimize fading and

are available in variet-ies that do not change the appearance of the window. This can be a good solution for rooms that get lots of sun exposure or rooms with a patio door access. Window films can also reduce glare on TV or computer screens.

OBITUARIESJoyce J. Lund, 70

SANDWICH — Joyce J. Lund, 70, passed peacefully on October 2, 2013, in the comfort of her home and surrounded by her beloved ones. The daughter of the late Rosario (Russ) Prestipino and Giovanna (Jenny) D’Angelico, Joyce was born on March 12, 1943 in Paterson, NJ.

Joyce and her former husband, George Strother III, raised their four children in Denville, NJ. Joyce moved to St. Thomas, USVI where she shared the rich culture and beauty of the islands with Phil “Flip” Lund. Joyce and Flip moved next to Center Lovell, ME, embracing the forests and trails of that state. Joyce lived her last years in New Hampshire, in a home designed by her and built by her sons. Joyce brought a tangible feeling of home to every house she lived in. She was a vibrant member of every community she embraced.

The ocean was a sense of joy and peace to Joyce. She spent much time on the water, scuba diving, teaching water classes, sailing, and later, on the lakes, kayaking. Her love of nature inspired beau-tiful gardens and outdoor living spaces in all of

her homes. She surrounded herself with handmade beauty, contributing with hand hooked rugs and gorgeous quilts of her own make and design. Above all, Joyce’s grandchildren were a source of great love and pride for her. Her grace and courage, as she neared the end of her life, was a sense of comfort and wonder to all those who surrounded her. She will be missed.

Joyce is survived by her four children: George Strother IV and his wife, Karen;

Wendy Perrault and her husband, Brent; Amy Gray and her husband, Brian and Philip Strother and his partner, Ashley Bullard. She is also survived by nine grandchildren: Julia and Michael Strother; Austin and Daniel Perrault; Madyson, Shelby and Brian Gray and Willow and Raven Strother. Lastly, she is survived by her dog Shanti, whom she held so dear.

A celebration of Joyce’s life will be held at her home at 401 Little Pond Road, Center Sandwich, NH on October 19, 2013 at 3 p.m., with an outdoor ceremony beginning at 4 p.m.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

Solution and tips at www.sudoku.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Compassion starts at home. It is hard to be kind to others if you haven’t been kind to yourself. With this in mind, take the time to do the things that make you smile. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Negative atti-tudes are contagious. Avoid the complainers and malcontents lest you become part of their clan. Make a move away from them to assure that you stay self-contained. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whatever you believe about yourself, whether it’s accurate or completely off base, is likely to become true. With that in mind, try this one on for size: You are at the beginning of a cycle of pros-perity. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your desire to overcome a problem or limitation is admira-ble, and yet you may be overlooking the main asset of your particular personality makeup. What if you embraced the fl aw instead of trying to change it? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in charge in a hands-off kind of way. You’ll be the responsible party and a guide for others with-out micromanaging their efforts. They can feel that you trust them, and they’ll work to maintain that trust. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t require a lot of external stimuli in your envi-ronment. In fact, you do your best work when the sound, light and personality of the room is muted enough to allow your rich inner life to take over. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your moral com-pass is spinning, and you’ll strive to settle the dial in the right direction. You’ll act because you’re driven to do what you think is right, not because you want praise or attention. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be good news. This could have to do with an inheritance, a happy outcome from apply-ing your personal talent or the acquisition of property. Enjoy this bounty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Tender-ness is the essential ingredient that will make your relationships work. It is the glue that holds your familial bonds and friendships together. It may seem counterintuitive, but

tenderness makes you strong. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will build your assets by focusing on what you do have instead of on what you don’t have. Put your energy into highlighting your best work. No one has quite your lineup of gifts and tal-ents. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You admire people of action, but today it’s more impor-tant to consider the action itself and not just the person who moves on an impulse. As for you, you’re better off thinking things through for another day. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Groups are powerful and sometimes not in a good way. Beware: The dominant forces in the room gain followers precisely because of their dominance, even though their message may be terribly off. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 9). You’ll defi -nitely sing your own song this year, and it all starts with the passionate and creative infl uence of the next six weeks. There will be pleasure in research, and by November, you’ll apply what you know and make a signifi cant change. December shifts your focus. You’ll move forward with plans for family life in Jan-uary. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 1, 22, 24 and 38.

Today is Wednesday, Oct. 9, the 282nd day of 2013. There are 83 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On Oct. 9, 1813, Giuseppe Verdi, the com-poser of such classic operas as “Aida,” ‘’La Traviata,” ‘’Rigoletto” and “Il Trovatore,” was born in the Italian village of Le Roncole. (There is some dispute over Verdi’s date of birth, with numerous sources saying he was actually born on Oct. 10.)

On this date:In 1446, the Korean alphabet, created under the aegis of King Sejong, was fi rst published.In 1776, a group of Spanish missionaries settled in present-day San Francisco.In 1888, the public was fi rst admitted to the Washington Monument.In 1910, a coal dust explosion at the Starkville Mine in Colorado left 56 miners dead.In 1930, Laura Ingalls became the fi rst woman to fl y across the United States as she completed a nine-stop journey from Roos-evelt Field, N.Y., to Glendale, Calif.In 1936, the fi rst generator at Boulder (later Hoover) Dam began transmitting electricity to Los Angeles.In 1940, rock and roll legend John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England.In 1946, the Eugene O’Neill drama “The Iceman Cometh” opened at the Martin Beck Theater in New York.In 1958, Pope Pius XII died at age 82, ending a 19-year papacy. (He was succeeded by Pope John XXIII.)In 1962, Uganda won autonomy from British rule.In 1974, businessman Oskar Schindler, cred-ited with saving about 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust, died in Frankfurt, West Germany (at his request, he was buried in Jerusalem).In 1987, author, politician and diplomat Clare Boothe Luce died in Washington at age 84.

Ten years ago: A suicide car bombing at a Baghdad police station killed eight people; Spanish military attache Jose Antonio Bernal Gomez was shot to death in Baghdad.

Five years ago: Calm gave way to fear in fi nancial markets, turning a relatively steady day into a rout that pushed the Dow Jones industrials below 9,000 — to 8,579.19 — for the fi rst time in fi ve years. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio of France won the Nobel Prize in literature.

One year ago: Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sen-tenced to 30 to 60 years in prison following his July conviction on 45 counts of sexual abuse of boys. The producers of “Sesame Street” asked President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign to take down an ad featur-ing Big Bird, saying the Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan nonprofi t and does not partici-pate in political campaigns. The ad mocked Mitt Romney’s vow to end federal funding for public broadcasting.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: Recently, I was introduced to an older gen-tleman. He has never been married, but he did have a son through artifi cial insemination. His son passed away, and he talks all the time about how special he was. He has a very strong and commanding personality to the point of sometimes being a bit of a bully. It seems like he is always demanding that things be done his way or else. What bothers me most is that he has a low opinion of wom-en. He’s often said that women should do what they are told and stay home and take care of the house and family. And worse, he’s even said how “dirty” women are in regard to their menstrual cycles, and that is why he has never talked about sex. He does seem like a good person -- he’s very intelligent and many people like him. He says he loves me, but he says that to everyone. I’m not sure about his intentions and won-der whether I should pursue this relationship or not. -- Cali-fornia Gal Dear California: Run, don’t walk, from this relationship. This man is not partner material. He may seem intelligent and nice, but he will expect you to be at his beck and call, and he will have little respect for you. And intimacy? For-get it. The most you can expect is a bossy kind of one-sided friendship, and we don’t need a crystal ball to know that he won’t make you happy. Sorry. Dear Annie: When my neighbors take their annual two-week vacation, I water their extensive fl owers every day and take in their mail. I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and all I ever received was a thank-you and a few daylily trans-plants. Recently, I had a severe bout with diverticulitis and was in a lot of pain. I could hardly pick up my own mail, much less theirs. This didn’t make the wife happy. I also need sur-

gery and asked whether she would take my terrier, and she refused. She’s taken care of other people’s dogs, so I don’t understand this. I know she will want me to water all of her plants next year, but I don’t think I will, considering she won’t help me in my time of need. I feel used. My dog is 16 years old and healthy, but I worry he won’t survive in a kennel for fi ve days. My handyman is willing to take care of my dog, but he wants $90 per day to come and let him out three times a day. What would you do? -- Hurt and Worried Dear Hurt: We assume your dog is as easy to care for as you claim. If so, your handyman is overcharging you. Most dog-sitters charge between $15 and $30 per day. If some-one has to come multiple times, they may charge $15 per visit, but it still doesn’t add up to $90 a day. Make sure he didn’t mean $90 for all fi ve days, which would be more than reasonable. You can fi nd reliable pet-sitters online or get a referral from your veterinarian’s offi ce. And if you are not able or willing to take care of your neighbors’ mail and fl owers, so be it. It is a kindness, not an obligation. Dear Annie: This is for “Leave Us Alone,” who is getting pressure from their families about having children. My wife and I were married at 26 and had our children when we were in our 30s. We spent the fi rst six years of our marriage establishing our careers, beginning our sav-ings, buying our home and taking some great vacations that involved lots of camping and low-cost motels. Refl ecting back, I think those years provided a solid foun-dation for our now 38-year marriage by giving us the ex-perience of working together as a team, providing mutual support to each other as we tackled the challenges of build-ing our careers and sharing our lives. -- Still Going Strong
