GILMANTON — After what Chief Joseph Collins described as some “good old-fashioned police work,” three people alleg-edly responsible for as many as 19 burglaries in the Lakes Region are behind bars today.

Police say burglary ring busted & 17 firearms recoveredThey were arrested Wednes-

day at 8:10 a.m. in a raid at a home on Allens Mills Road, where they lived.

Daniel Roberts, 21, of 31 Allens Mill Road is charged with four counts of burglary in Gilmanton and one count of burglary in Laconia for alleg-

edly entering an occupied home on Warren Street in Laconia.

Roberts is also charged with two counts of changing the markings on a firearm, one count of attempting to commit burglary, and one count of receiving stolen property — all Gilmanton charges.

Jacqualyn Oliver, 25, of 31 Allens Mill Road is charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a danger-ous weapon and one count of receiving stolen property — all Gilmanton charges. She is being held on $5,000 cash bail.

CASEVILLE, Mich. (AP) — Two Michigan sheriff ’s deputies can expect wedding invi-tations in their future for rescuing a couple who became stranded on an island during a meticulously planned, elaborate marriage pro-posal that apparently accounted for every-thing but bad weather.

Nathan Bluestein, of Northville, and May Gorial, of Madison Heights, set out by canoe Saturday in Wild Fowl Bay near Caseville, about 110 miles north of Detroit, the Huron County sheriff’s depart-ment said. Gorial, 32, accepted the proposal, but strong wind and waves kept them from returning to shore.

Bluestein, 27, told the Detroit Free Press that he had been planning the proposal for months. He tucked a message in a bottle inside a lunch bag that he brought on the trip.

“I made sure that she

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. health care system squanders $750 billion a year — roughly 30 cents of every medical dollar — through unneeded care, byzan-tine paperwork, fraud and other waste, the influential Institute of Medicine said Thursday in a report that ties directly into the presidential campaign.

President Barack Obama and Republi-can Mitt Romney are accusing each other of trying to slash Medicare and put seniors at risk. But the counter-intuitive finding from the report is that deep cuts are possi-ble without rationing, and a leaner system may even produce better quality.

“Health care in America presents a fun-damental paradox,” said the report from an 18-member panel of prominent experts, including doctors, business people, and public officials. “The past 50 years have seen an explosion in biomedical knowl-edge, dramatic innovation in therapies and surgical procedures, and management of conditions that previously were fatal ...

“Yet, American health care is falling short on basic dimensions of quality, out-comes, costs and equity,” the report con-

BEDFORD (AP) — Firefighters say 14 horses were killed in a barn fire in Bedford on Thursday morning.

Another eight horses, two goats and a pig were able to escape the fire in the 10,000-square-foot barn at the Perry Hill Farm.

Study finds 1/3 of U.S. health care dollars wastedcluded.

If banking worked like health care, ATM transactions would take days, the report said. If home building were like health care, carpenters, electricians and plumbers would work from different blueprints and hardly talk to each other. If shopping were like health care, prices would not be posted and could vary widely within the same store, depending on who was paying.

If airline travel were like health care, individual pilots would be free to design their own preflight safety checks — or not perform one at all.

How much is $750 billion? The one-year estimate of health care waste is equal to more than ten years of Medicare cuts in Obama’s health care law. It’s more than the Pentagon budget. It’s more than enough to care for the uninsured.

Getting health care costs better con-trolled is one of the keys to reducing the def-icit, the biggest domestic challenge facing the next president. The report did not lay out a policy prescription for Medicare and Medicaid but suggested there’s plenty of room for lawmakers to find a path.

Both Obama and Romney agree there has to be a limit to Medicare spending, but they differ on how to get that done. Obama would rely on a powerful board to cut pay-ments to service providers, while gradually changing how hospitals and doctors are paid to reward results instead of volume. Romney would limit the amount of money future retirees can get from the govern-ment for medical insurance, relying on the private market to find an efficient solution. Each accuses of the other of jeopardizing the well-being of seniors.

But panel members urged a frank dis-cussion with the public about the value Americans are getting for their health care dollars. As a model, they cited “Choosing Wisely,” a campaign launched earlier this year by nine medical societies to challenge the widespread perception that more care is better.

“Rationing to me is when we are denying medical care that is helpful to patients, on the basis of costs,” said cardiologist Dr. Rita Redberg, a medical school professor at the University of California, San Francisco.

14 horses killed in fire at 10,000-sq.-ft. barn in BedfordOfficials said 45 to 50 firefighters from

10 communities fought the fire, which was spotted by a jogger passing by the farm at about 8:30 a.m. It was brought under con-trol in an hour.

The cause is under investigation, but fire

officials do not believe it was suspicious. Chief Scott Wiggin said he expected his crew to remain at the barn all day, working to knock down hot spots. The fire marshal also was at the scene.

never could touch the lunch bag,” he said “I had it around my arm the whole time.”

Inside the bottle was a sheet of paper, soaked in tea and burned around the edges, with a poem written in French. Gorial, a French teacher at Bishop Foley Catholic High School in Madison Heights, began read-ing and translating the poem before finding a proposal written in English on another piece of paper.

“The way I look at it ... she’s my best friend and the love of my life,” Bluestein said.

The two talked and snapped pictures, and didn’t realize they were too far from land. They ended up on North Island and the sheriff ’s department sent the two deputies by boat from Caseville. Bluestein and Gorial don’t have a wedding date set, but the deputies will definitely be invited to the event.

“If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have seen the wedding day,” Gorial said.

RESCUE from page 2

“We have a lot of medical care that is not helpful to patients, and some of it is harmful. The problem is when you talk about getting rid of any type of health care, someone yells, ‘Rationing.’ “

More than 18 months in the making, the report identified six major areas of waste: unnecessary ser-vices ($210 billion annually); inefficient delivery of care ($130 billion); excess administrative costs ($190 billion); inflated prices ($105 billion); prevention failures ($55 billion), and fraud ($75 billion). Adjust-ing for some overlap among the categories, the panel settled on an estimate of $750 billion.

Examples of wasteful care include most repeat colonoscopies within 10 years of a first such test, early imaging for most back pain, and brain scans for patients who fainted but didn’t have seizures.

The report makes ten recommendations, includ-ing payment reforms to reward quality results instead of reimbursing for each procedure, improv-ing coordination among different kinds of service providers, leveraging technology to reinforce sound clinical decisions and educating patients to become more savvy consumers.

The report’s main message for government is to accelerate payment reforms, said panel chair Dr. Mark Smith, president of the California Health-Care Foundation, a research group. For employers, it’s to move beyond cost shifts to workers and start demanding accountability from hospitals and major medical groups. For doctors, it means getting beyond the bubble of solo practice and collaborating with peers and other clinicians.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — His re-election in doubt, President Barack Obama conceded only halting progress Thursday night toward fixing the nation’s stubborn economic woes but vowed in a Democratic National Convention finale, “Our prob-lems can be solved, our challenges can be met.”

“Yes, our path is harder — but it leads to a better place,” he declared in a prime-time speech to con-vention delegates and the nation, blending resolve about rescuing the nation from near economic catas-trophe with stinging criticism of Republican rival Mitt Romney’s own proposals.

Widely viewed as reserved, even aloof, Obama acknowledged “my own failings” as he asked for a second term, four years after taking office as the nation’s first black president.

Citing progress toward recovery, he said, “After a decade that was defined by what we bought and bor-rowed, we’re getting back to basics and doing what Amer-ica has always done best: We’re making things again.”

“Four more years,” delegates chanted over and over as the 51-year-old Obama stepped to the podium, noticeably grayer than he was as a history-making candidate for the White House in 2008.

First Lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, joined the president on stage in the moments after the speech, followed by other family members and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife. Strains of “Only in America” filled the hall as confetti filled the air.

Obama’s speech was the final act of a pair of highly scripted national political conventions in as many weeks, and the opening salvo of a two-month drive toward Election Day that pits Obama against Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.

Not only economic proposals will settle a tight con-test for the White House in a dreary season of economic struggle for millions, but also campaign cash.

There, Romney holds an advantage for sure. His campaign has purchased about $4.5 million in tele-vision advertising for the next several days, accord-ing to officials who track such spending. Obama, by contrast, emailed a fundraising appeal to supporters two hours before his convention speech.

Biden preceded Obama at the convention podium and proclaimed, “America has turned the corner” after experiencing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Obama didn’t go that far in his own remarks, but he said firmly, “We are not going back, we are moving forward, America.”

Asking 2nd term, Obama says nation ‘not going back’With unemployment at 8.3 percent, the president

said the task of recovering from the economic disas-ter of 2008 is exceeded in American history only by the challenge Franklin Delano Roosevelt faced when he took office in 1933.

“It will require common effort, shared responsibil-ity and the kind of bold persistent experimentation” that FDR employed, Obama said.

In an appeal to independent voters who might be considering a vote for Romney, he added that those who carry on Roosevelt’s legacy “should remember that not every problem can be remedied with another government program or dictate from Washington.

He said, “The truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over the decades.”

The Romney campaign was dismissive as Demo-crats completed their convention.

“Americans will hold President Obama account-able for his record — they know they’re not better off and that it’s time to change direction,” Matt Rhoades, the challenger’s campaign manager, said in a statement.

In the run-up to Obama’s speech, delegates erupted in tumultuous cheers when former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, grievously wounded in a 2011 assassination attempt, walked onstage to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. The hall grew louder when she blew kisses to the crowd.

And louder still when huge video screens inside the hall showed the face of Osama bin Laden, the terrorist mastermind killed in a daring raid on his Pakistani hideout by U.S. special operations forces — on a mis-sion approved by the current commander in chief.

The hall was filled to capacity long before Obama stepped to the podium, and officials shut off the entrances because of a fear of overcrowding for a speech that the campaign had originally slated for the 74,000-seat football stadium nearby. Aides said weather concerns prompted the move to the conven-tion arena, capacity 15,000 or so.

Obama’s campaign said the president would ask the country to rally around a “real achievable plan that will create jobs, expand opportunity and ensure an economy built to last.”

He added, “The truth is it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over a decade.”

In convention parlance, both Obama and Biden were delivering acceptance speeches before del-egates who nominated them for new terms in office.

LETTERSLet me tell you about the movie they don’t want you to see

Susan Estrich

That old Clinton magic

Back in 1988, we had what we thought was a great new idea. There was only one slot for a key-note speech at the Democratic con-vention on Monday night, but we had two great candidates for the job. One was the late Ann Richards, then the treasurer of the state of Texas and a candidate for gover-nor, famous for her wit and wisdom (remember: George Bush was born “with a silver foot in his mouth”). The other was the governor of Arkansas, a young star of the party, a charismatic speaker, a south-ern moderate and a good friend. We needed the votes of women; we needed votes among more conserva-tive white men.

How could we have them both?We asked Richards to keynote on

Monday and Bill Clinton to nomi-nate Michael Dukakis on Wednes-day. Clinton’s initial reaction was disappointment. Our answer, my answer, at the time was that this could be just as good of a slot; we would cut out all of the seconding speeches, and he would be the one who told the candidate’s story and made the case for his election.

The first draft we saw of Clinton’s speech was not exactly what we had in mind. It went on, at some length, about international economic policy. Hand it to Clinton: No one I’ve ever met in politics has a better sense of where we are headed, and we were certainly headed for a global econ-omy that most of us could not have foreseen in 1988.

But this was a convention. So we sent word back that while the inter-national economy was certainly interesting, what we really needed — particularly since our candidate was less comfortable than most with either singing his own praises or crucifying his opponent — was a more political speech that would set the tone for the nomination of the party’s candidate for president.

Maybe we weren’t clear that we also meant “drop” the international economy stuff.

The rest is history.The history of a disaster. It went

on and on. Poor Tad Devine, leg-endary political consultant, kept hitting the red button. The biggest applause line was: “In conclusion...”

And for years afterward people would say to me, “Who came up with the hare-brained idea of wast-ing a guy who was a better speaker than the candidate on a single nom-inating speech?”

As in most things, if you just wait long enough...

On Wednesday night, Bill Clin-ton did brilliantly what he (and we) did quite a bit less brilliantly 24 years ago. Putting aside the ten-sions of the past, he made the case for Barack Obama and against Mitt Romney with passion, eloquence and genuine conviction. I have no doubt that more people watched and listened on Wednesday night because he was the headliner.

It is, of course, no small triumph that 12 years after leaving office, President Clinton returned to the Democratic convention more popular than ever. And to listen to the people who tried to destroy his presidency now heaping praise on his tenure so they can knock Obama with it con-firms once again the divide between politics and principle. The Clinton triumph is not just the product of nostalgia — although there certainly is nostalgia for those years of peace and prosperity — but of his tireless efforts and commitment to helping the world’s least fortunate in the years since. He has been an admi-rable former president.

But it speaks just as well of the current president that he wanted Clinton there. I’ve been around long enough to remember cases where candidates openly worried about being upstaged at their own conven-tions and arranged speaker slots so that wouldn’t happen. We used to joke that that was what Monday night was for. For this convention, there was no Monday night.

Bill Clinton dazzled Wednesday night because Barack Obama asked him to. And that speaks well of both of them.

To the editor,Because I always try to educate

myself about all of the candidates heading into an election, and because we were denied the chance to learn much about the background of can-didate Obama in 2008 (and are still), I was especially anxious to see the recently released documentary about his life written by Dartmouth alum, college president, and NYT bestsell-ing author Dinesh D’Souza and pro-duced by Oscar winner Gerald Molen.

While my personality is admit-tedly conservative, I have always held myself to be politically independent and have always voted for the candi-date rather than the party, except in times when one party was so out of touch or had such a contrary agenda that I had to rebel. I voted for Bill Clin-ton (once) and Governor Lynch (once), and have even written checks to the Democratic Party in the past, when I felt they were more deserving. But even though I now find myself having more in common with the ideals of the Republican Party, I try not to enter the voting booth without a full apprecia-tion of the agendas and backgrounds of the candidates on both sides. I take my vote very seriously and want to be sure I use it wisely.

I had heard that, while it does have a right lean and some of its conclu-sions are biased, the historical facts laid out in “2016 — Obama’s America” are accurate and its use of Obama’s own words, played in his own voice from the recordings of his own books, puts many of his activities and stated objectives into a perspective that is impossible to ignore. I felt I owed it to myself to see this film before the upcoming election.

But I found that the usual movie guide websites were refusing to pro-vide information about where this film could be seen. Searching for it just gave a “no results found” response. The same sites that had no trouble tell-ing us the show times and locations where we could see Michael Moore’s left-leaning “documentaries” were acting as if this film did not exist. The usual ads we’d see in the papers and the trailers we’d see on TV for even the most far left films about George Bush, Margaret Thatcher, or Ronald Reagan were not being allowed for this film... which is probably why so many of you

readers are wondering what the heck I am talking about.

When I called theaters that had live phones to ask why they were not carrying the film, I was told that they were either not being offered the film to show by their film suppliers, or being pressured not to show it by their franchisers. When I e-mailed to independent theaters like Barnz’s in Meredith to ask why they were not showing it, they did not respond.

Yet despite all this, I found where it had still managed to become the #1 grossing documentary and the #7 grossing film overall in the country. So while last week I would have had to find the film’s own website to see that it was only playing in one N.H. the-ater, then drive down to Newington to see it. Yesterday I found out that nine N.H. theaters had caved to the pressure to start showing it, the near-est being Smitty’s in Tilton. So my 30 year old son and I headed over last evening. It was my first time to Smit-ty’s, or to any such dinner-theater, and we really enjoyed the place, the food, and the movie.

While I consider my son (also a Dartmouth grad) a very intelligent and liberal thinker and I strongly sus-pect that he voted for Obama in 08, he never once complained about the film being biased or fictional. He watched intently, and like me, he seemed to be absorbing from it those things which he saw must be true and deflect-ing those things which were clearly just assumed. We did not even talk about the film afterwards, because (I think) we both respect that we are each smart and independent enough to draw our own conclusions, yet not smart enough that either of us could change the conclusions of the other. But I know we are both a bit smarter for having seen it as we head into November.

While Smitty’s other cinemas were virtually empty, 2016 was so crowded that we had to sit way up front. The ticket salesman said it had been that way with every showing and that it was the only movie keeping the place open. The film was very informative, and was not really as right-biased as I had expected based on the press it has been getting. In fact, I thought it left out a few facts that could have hurt

To the editor,I am the chairman of the Capital

Improvements Planning Committee, also known as the CIP Committee, for the Town of Gilford.

The CIP Committee helps to coor-dinate the plans for the various pur-chases for the town that are $50,000 or greater and have an expected life span of greater than five years. These purchases are further broken down in the evaluation process based on several criteria, such as: Will the purchase con-tribute to the health and safety of the community? Is the purchase needed to meet federal, state, or town regulations or laws and there are many other eval-uations that are used in the planning process for major purchases?

The committee then spreads these purchases out over a six year time-span and we try to avoid high spikes or low dips from occurring in order to have the minimal impact on the taxpayer’s dollar. Purchases do, occa-sionally, get moved from year to year based on need or importance to the community or to avoid a spike or dip in the budget process.

The request for purchases is first presented by the Department Head to the CIP Committee. The request undergoes the CIP evaluation process

and the final, CIP approved, plan is then presented to the selectmen.

The replacement of the Gilford Fire Rescue Engine 4 has been pushed fur-ther out over the years. The engine first appeared as a purchase planned for the year 2008. Then during the CIP process in 2007 the purchase of Engine 4 was moved to 2011. During the CIP process in 2009 the chief was again asked if the replacement could be moved further back one more year to 2012, keeping in mind that it takes about one year from order to delivery. The purchase for the replacement of Engine 4 remained on the Capital Improvement Plan for 2012 and last year was approved for replace-ment this year by a unanimous vote of the CIP Committee.

The information above is informative and factual pieces of information to help you better understand some of the func-tions of your local government.

Now, in speaking on my own, as a taxpayer of Gilford, I fully support the replacement for Engine 4. It is long overdue and given the outcomes that have unfolded with it not being repairable, the proven need, and that the selectmen are also supporting this replacement, it is time to move ahead.

To the editor,In this polarizing political climate

it is so gratifying to have a man like Councilor Ray Burton representing the interest of the North Country in Concord. I have known Councilor Burton since grade school and have see how his service has touched innu-merable members of his constituency.

He represents us all and his record supports this fact.

We cannot afford to lose his valu-able service at such a critical time. He brings us all together with one voice regardless of your political affiliation. We need more Ray Burtons!

Duane J. BaxterWoodsville

We can’t afford to lose Ray Burton’s service at this critical time

To the editor,When politicians won’t take no for

an answer we will all end up paying the price. Last November the town of Belmont went through the vetting and voting process concerning the purchase of the building at 154 Main Street, the old bank building. We were told that the money would come from a reserve fund (does that mean that we were already over-taxed?) and that it would not constitute a raise in our taxes for the purchase of the building, and they were correct in this state-ment. There was, however, no plan for what was to become of the building, just some ideas thrown out and that was for a specific reason. You see, any-thing the town wants to do with the building after it has been purchased will constitute additional funding that will have to come from the taxpayers in the form of an increased tax rate. The town voted NO with a large percentage

of registered voters voting. Not wanting to represent the population, the town politicians pulled a fast by putting the same vote before a special voting ses-sion being held during one of the busi-est vacation times of the summer. They announced the session and vote with the minimum announcements required by law. There were only 300 of the 3,875 registered voters who found out about the vote and showed up. The vote was passed by 8 votes. This is hardly a rep-resentative form of voting in this town.

Now after the building is purchased something will have to be done with it. Here is my prediction to all of you tax-payers in Belmont, myself included... The selectman will be coming back with a request for more funding (read increased taxes) in order to “continue with the next step in the process” with this building. Thanks Belmont.

Press needs to inform us about the other 10 running for presidentTo the editor,

When will the media inform citi-zens of America about the other 10 declared presidential candidates? Granted President Obama and Mitt Romney are the money makers, but shouldn’t the citizens of America be updated on the other 10?

They are: Stewart Alexander, PFP & Socialist; Kathyern Lane, Repub-lican; Andy Martin, Republican; Jimmy McMillan, Republican; Ron Paul, Republican; Stephen Rollins,

Independent; Matt Synder, Republi-can; Randall Terry, Democrat; Danny Woodring, Independent; and Vern Wuensche, Republican.

It would be great to hear their views and problem solving abilities about our economy, government spending, medi-cal coverage, and more. Maybe the citi-zens of America will choose their own president without the glorified party conventions and advertising hype.

LETTERSThose who preach Bible like to pick & chose what to adhere toTo the editor,

I am appalled that, in this day and age, a person would have the closed mindedness to call those who do not feel as they do “stupid”. I, of course, am talking about the letter submitted by William “Liam” McCoy in the Sep-tember 5th issue. It seems childish and immature that a person cannot look past their own beliefs and see that they have resorted to name call-ing like that of an elementary school child. I am an Atheist, which for those of you who do not know, means I do not believe in God. I see our country full of those who preach their religion, but do not “help they neighbor”.

To me, our current economical situ-ation has nothing to do with God, or Jesus Christ, but rather has to do with us. We have elected the officials who represent the voice of the people, and they, acting for us, are the ones respon-sible for our current situation. What is wrong with everyone just doing the right thing and being a good person? Why does every political stance have to involve God? We all have our own personal beliefs, but when I see some-one waiting for God to help us out of our situation, then I get upset.

Liam, you stated that you “came

to America”, so one can assume that you were not born here. Let me quote what the bible says about foreigners; “However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreign-ers who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46).”

Since you are so determined to follow the word of God, then you should also be the first to offer your children as slaves. Those who preach the Bible like to pick and choose what parts of the “word of God” they adhere to. I of course do not believe any man, woman, or child should be sold into slavery. I also do not believe that we need to turn to God to get us out of our current situation. Before you choose to call those who believe differently than you “stupid”, make sure you look at yourself first.

To the editor,I grew up in the Lakes Region. I

went to Laconia High School, married my husband of 37 years in Laconia, and we raised our four children right here! We have owned a business in the Lakes region for 35 years. This area is a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

My family has deep roots in local politics. My father, Paul Stewart, Sr., was on the Laconia City Council, and was beloved by the people of the city — so much that Laconia dedicated “Stewart Park,” right in the heart of downtown, in his honor.

My dad was a principled conserva-tive and nobody that I know under-stands responsible government better than he did — until my son Josh.

Josh Youssef is a native of Laconia, a longtime entrepreneur and business-owner, and is now running for the State Senate right here in District 7. I am proud to say that Josh is every bit the principled conservative that my dad was. My dad would have been very proud of his grandson, who he unfortu-

My son represents new generation of cutting-edge leadershipnately never had the chance to meet.

Josh has always shown strength of character, perseverance through trial, unyielding tenacity, and a relentless pursuit of justice. His understanding of law, government, and the legisla-tive process, coupled with his incred-ible logical and intellectual capacity — and his successful background with computers and technology — makes him the best qualified candidate to lead this district as our next state senator.

Under Josh’s leadership we can be sure that New Hampshire govern-ment is responsible in its spending, that this state becomes more eco-nomically friendly to businesses, is a healthy place for jobs to be created, and is a place where we can educate our youth in the best manner possible.

It is at this time that I ask you to join me in electing a new generation of cutting-edge leadership; my son, Josh Youssef to be the next senator repre-senting District 7!

Inter-Lakes hopes to provide lunch to hungry children throughout the summer, when they don’t have access to meals at school. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

MEREDITH — If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, there should be no surprise that the Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes program, which was kicked off at a press conference yester-day, bears such a strong resemblance to the Got Lunch! program started two years ago in Laconia. Founders of the Inter-Lakes venture were so enamored of Laconia’s Got Lunch! that they set out to replicate the pro-gram in their own school district. For-tunately for them, Laconia organizers were happy to share the secrets of the operation, welcoming people from neighboring towns to apprentice in Laconia through the summer.

In the Inter-Lakes District, as in Laconia, the Got Lunch! program will offer, during summer school vacation, weekly deliveries of groceries to the families of participating school chil-dren. The model was conceived as a way to address a concern: if such a sig-nificant percentage of local school chil-dren come from homes that qualify for free or reduced price meals at school, what do those children eat during the summer, when cafeterias are closed?

Kate Miller, who along with Select-man Carla Horne serves as co-chair of the Inter-Lakes organization, said, “Here in Inter-Lakes, a third of school children are on free and reduced lunch. There is certainly a need here, as there is in Laconia.” Although the programs are created with the stu-dents from struggling families in mind, there’s no income threshold or screening process for those who apply. Any child who lives in the district is able to sign up. The district includes the towns of Meredith, Center Harbor and Sandwich.

The deliveries won’t start until June of next year, but the work has already begun for Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes. If every student who qualifies for free and reduced lunch applies for the pro-gram, Miller said it will have about

Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes will kick off in summer of 2013; fund raising starts now

300 students to serve. At an estimated cost of $110 per child, per summer, that means the organizers can’t wait until June to start fund raising. The kick-off event also signals the start of volunteer recruitment. In addition to fund raisers, Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes is hoping to attract database manag-ers and bargain-hunting shoppers to the cause. Many more volunteers will be needed for the summer months, when it comes time to pack the food into bags and deliver them to homes.

With all the work ahead of them, the Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes crowd is fortunate to have a couple of signifi-cant partners. For one, Trinity Episco-pal Church in Meredith is serving as the program’s fiscal agent, allowing for the operation to function under non-profit status. Donations are therefore tax-deductible. The part-nership should also should translate into a healthy supply of volunteers, according to Rector Robin Soller. “This church, for some years now, has said we feel strongly about food-related issues,” Soller said, adding that the church found it a quick decision to partner with the program. “It just seemed like it was a good fit for us.” As in Laconia, though, where the Congregational Church serves as the fiscal agent, Soller emphasized that the effort is open to all community members, including those who attend a different house of worship.

Another partner is the Inter-Lakes School District, which has agreed to allow Got Lunch! to store food at the elementary school, which will also serve as the operations center during the summer. If Laconia’s experience is a predictor, many school district employees will volunteer for the pro-gram. Town Manager Phil Warren was present for the kick-off event, and he said town workers would also be able to volunteer on the Monday deliv-eries, if they so desired.

Lunch! Laconia, said the new organiza-tion should be prepared to educate busi-nesses and potential partners about the need for such a service. “People think that because we live in this beautiful area, there’s no poverty.” However, data such as free and reduced lunch rates tell a different story.

With the kick-off event behind them, the next event on the Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes is on October 28 and it will raise funds for both Got Lunch! and Better Together. Called “Meredith Trick or Eat,” the event is a walking tour through Meredith led by the

Meredith Village Pathways Commit-tee. The historic tour includes stops at restaurants for samples of specialty dishes and concludes at the Chase House for music and entertainment.

Those who wish to support or vol-unteer for Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes should call Miller at 491-6913 or Horne at 387-1066.

“We want to get off the ground as quickly as possible,” said Miller.

Concluding the kick-off, Horne said the program owed much to their neighbors across the town line. “I can’t thank Got Lunch! Laconia enough, they have been so helpful to us.”

LACONIA — State Senate District 7 candi-date Joshua Youssef said Wednesday during an interview at The Daily Sun that he would offer a fresh prospective to the Legislature because of his ability to make systems more efficient.

Among the things he would look at more closely would be the Department of Health and Human

Strongly held libertarian principals guiding Josh Youssef’s drive for Republican nomination in Senate 7

Services that he describes as “grossly inefficient” to eliminating the Board of Tax and Land Appeals in favor of allowing land and tax disputes to go to Superior Court.

“I am of the generation that under-stands technology but I’m old enough to know my history,” he said.

Youssef is a favorite among the more conservative wing of the Republican Party. His strong libertarian bent is obvious during conversation and he has been endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus as well as by radio talk show host Niel Young, Laconia Representatives Bob Kingsbury and Harry Accornero and retiring Sen. Jim Forsythe.

He is being challenged for the GOP spot on the ticket by Bill Grimm of Franklin. The winner of Tuesday’s primary will face Democrat Andrew Hosmer of Laconia in the general elec-tion in November.

Youssef is also embroiled in a lengthy court battle with his former wife over her request for increased child support payments. The issue has been made public in area newspaper largely because his ex-wife and her attorney have been providing infor-mation to the media and encouraging its publication.

It is Youssef’s contention that he is and always has been paying his child support and that “he has always kept up with his duty” to supply the judi-cial system with the financial infor-mation necessary to make informed child support level decisions.

Describing the time since his 2006 divorce as a very painful roller coaster, he said all of his income has been declared in his tax returns and he has not deliberately misled the court as to the amount and sources of his income.

The charges by his ex-wife as to

whether or not he has been truthful to the court and whether or not his sealed financial records will be made public is still pending in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

Asked how old he is, the Laconia native responded, “Old enough to run for president (35)”.

As to the reasons he is running for office for the first time and whether he has the time to dedi-

cate to the job of state senator while running what his Website describes as the largest computer repair and upgrade franchise system — Same Day Computer — in New England, he said he does because he built a busi-ness model that doesn’t rely on his being there all the time.

Speaking on the issues he feels are facing the state, he said education, jobs, health care and the economy are his top concerns.

He said he would lower the Business Profits Tax and the Business Enter-prise Tax, which is based on a value-added system, but said he “hadn’t done the math” as to how much. He said lowering taxes would bring busi-nesses to the state.

He believes opening the health insurance market to a greater level of competition involves gradually reduc-ing the number of coverage mandates imposed by the state — and that those actions would bring prices down.

“I’m not the kind of person who lops something off, though,” he cautioned, adding he would favors solutions that do not result in severe shock to cur-rent systems.

He also said he would support some form of allowing health insurers to “cherry pick” its customers so more insurers would come to the state.

“(Health insurance policies) are a contract,” he said. “I don’t see why the government should interfere with a private contract.”

Understanding that LRGHeathcare is by far the biggest employer in the area, he said he would likely not have supported the change in most recent biennial budget whereby the state Legislature did not return a portion of the taxes collected to attract match-ing federal Medicare funds. He said he

thought the change was “too drastic.”As to education, Youssef said he

would not have supported renovating the Huot Regional Technical Educa-tion Center on the campus of his alma matter. “Just because you’ve built a new building doesn’t mean you’ve increased the level of education,” he said.

He also thinks the education money should follow the child and is a big supporter of private schools, charters schools, and home schooling.

He said real “school choice” would mean schools would have to compete for students and the money to educate them. “I would require all schools to compete to survive,” he said.

He also said the state should have the right to contribute nothing directly to public education, although he doesn’t necessarily support the Leg-islature taking that course of action, and that schools should be locally con-

trolled and supported.He said the state university system

should also become more competitive and he would “be comfortable with an entirely private system” of higher education.

He is completely against the North-ern Pass project, saying he doesn’t trust public utilities and the project will not provide lower cost energy to New Hampshire. He said he is espe-cially concerned with prospect of eminent domain being used to grab privately held land in order to facili-tate the bringing of Quebec hydro-power into the state.

Summing up, Youssef said the “state is at a critical crossroads” and he believes the New Hampshire advan-tage is slipping away.

He said he is “an analytical problem solver with the skill to research for a sensible solution to raise the overall quality of life.”

LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers, in conjunction with the City Council and the Main Street Initia-tive, has announced a forum to be held on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 5 p.m. in the newly renovated commercial space at 600 Main Street,, to discuss the city’s Economic Revitalization Zones (ERZs).

City Council has been approved three ERZs within the past year — O’Shea Industrial Park, Lakes Busi-ness Park and the downtown area. ERZ tax credits are short-term tax credits against the state business profi ts and enterprise taxes, encour-aging business growth in designated areas. These zones are areas of the city where entrepreneurs may reap up to $200,000 in tax credits over a fi ve year period for investing in them. To qualify, a certain amount of capi-tal investment must be made and the location must meet certain criteria. The forum will discuss and clarify how the city’s ERZs fi t those crite-ria, and how best to benefi t from this opportunity.

John Moriarty, president of the Main Street Initiative and a princi-pal in the newly renovated space for lease at the former Sundial Shop, praised the efforts of City Council, “All roads lead to Laconia and our commercial and industrial invento-ries make sound investments on their own merits”, said Moriarty,referring to Laconia’s dominant commercial base, year-round and seasonal popula-

Potential investors invited to forum on downtown Laconia revitalization zone

tions and its geographic and political attributes all being positive dividends of being the county seat. “The forward thinking of City Council in estab-lishing the ERZs is a wise fi rst step in enticing both new investment and reinvestment”.

As explained by Myers, Economic Revitalization Zone Tax Credits, are short-term tax credits against the business profi ts and enterprise taxes. To qualify, a certain amount of capi-tal investment must be made and the location must meet certain demo-graphic criteria, or be in an unused or underutilized industrial park, vacant land, structures previously used for industrial, commercial, or retail pur-poses but currently not used for such purposes. The total amount of the credit is $200,000 over fi ve years. It is a two-step process, whereby the municipality fi rst applies for the des-ignation based upon specifi c criteria, and secondly, a business applies for the actual tax credit.

Those attending the event will have an opportunity to meet with repre-sentatives of the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Eco-nomic Development (DRED) to learn how participation in an ERZ works and how it can benefi t business. City leaders encourage all those interested in investing in revitalizing the city to attend this forum.

To RSVP or for more information, call the City Manager’s offi ce at 527-1270 or email info@city.laconia.nh.us.

Harried and Elissa Finks, a mother and daughter who own the farm, released a statement saying they were devastated by the fi re. They said they considered the horses to be mem-bers of the family and they thanked everyone who worked at saving them.

Stan Popielarz of the volunteer Bedford Community Response Team said many people had stopped by and offered their barns as a place for the remaining horses to stay.

Judith Maclellan said her grand-children had ridden horses at the farm. When she heard the news, she said, “That just made me cry ... they had to have been panicked,” she said of the horses, New England Cable News reported.

The farm’s website says it is a full-served equestrian academy that offers a summer camp, in addition to horse-back riding lessons and pony rides for various occasions.

Jamie Peterson, 26, of 31 Allens Mill Road is charged with one count of receiv-ing stolen property and two counts of burglary — all Gilmanton charges. He is being held on $10,000 cash bail.

Collins said Roberts, who he said is the admitted “ringleader” of the group, will likely face additional burglary charges in Laconia as well as burglary and attempted burglary charges from Bel-mont, Sanbornton, Franklin, and Gilford. He is being held in the Belknap County House of Corrections on $50,000 cash-only bail.

Gilmanton Police Chief Joe Collins, Officer Chris Gustafson and Officer Matt Currier with the guns, tools and jewelry recovered Tuesday in during a burglary ring bust on Allens Mill Road Wednesday morning.

BURGLARY from page one

Collins said the investigation began when he responded to an Oak Crest Lane home on August 31 at 7:55 a.m. where he was met by the homeowner who told him her house had been burglarized and a number of guns had been stolen.

He said he noticed the sliding glass doors had been pried open and, after calling Belmont Police who sent two detectives, they noticed two distinct sneaker patterns in the ground around the house.

While on Oak Crest Lane, he got a second call from the homeowner at 30 Allens Mill Road reporting his home had been burglarized overnight and numer-ous power tools were taken. He said the homeowner

had left a window unlocked. He said police noticed similar sets of sneaker patterns and made casts and took photographs of both of them.

He said after looking around to see if there were any tire marks, he saw similar sneaker patterns that led to 31 Allens Mills Road. He said one the items taken from home at 30 Allens Mill Road was a heavy Dewalt mitre box and the footprints indicated that whoever robbed the home had made multiple trips back and forth between the two houses.

Returning to Oak Crest Lane, Collins said he called in Gilmanton Officer Matt Currier who has

lived in Gilmanton most of his life and the two of them began hiking the trails in the woods that could connect Allens Mill Road to Oak Crest Lane.

The two noticed several of the same sneaker prints and searched the trails for hours. They recov-ered some of the tools but none of the guns.

He said there had been a previous break-in at the Oak Crest Lane home in July and a similar sneaker print was found then as well. He said the same single pry-toothed bar had been used to gain entry.

On September 2, Officer Christopher Gustafson investigated an attempted break in on Ridgewood Drive and, although no one got in, the screen door was propped open and the homeowner said she didn’t prop it open.

Collins said his officers began surveillance at the 31 Allens Mill Road property and said on September 3 he saw an unknown male get out of a maroon car holding a shotgun that looked like one of the guns stolen from Oak Crest Lane. He said the man hold-ing the gun removed a television from the back of the car. He also said he “racked” the shotgun like he was loading the chamber and entered the house.

He said seein the man with the gun and the televi-sion gave him enough information to apply for and get a search warrant for 31 Allens Mill Road and on September 5, Belmont Police, Gilmanton Police and the Belknap County Special Operation Group surrounded the home, waited for the two children inside to get on to the school bus, and then executed the search warrant.

“I really want to commend my department,” he said, saying they all gave up their weekend and worked around the clock keeping surveillance on the home until police had enough evidence for a warrant.

Once inside, Collins said they found 17 guns laying on the living room floor. He said it appeared attempts had been made to file the serial numbers off the handguns and to alter the barrels and stocks of the shotguns.

He said Oliver admitted to being a convicted felon, having been convicted after a drug arrest in Laconia.

Collins said he had also been in contact with detec-tives from Laconia about some burglaries in the city, and Roberts, Oliver, and Peterson were taken to the Laconia Police Department, which he said has ample space for separate interrogations.

Laconia Police Det. Kevin Butler said in his affi-davit that Roberts admitted to breaking into the Warren Street home as well as five other burglaries in Laconia including three on Lafayette Street, one on Emerald Drive and being the “get away driver” at one on Sheridan Street.

Butler said Roberts also told him he was the one who filed off the serial numbers of the handguns and attempted to alter the shotguns.

Sanbornton Police Chief Steve Hankard said his lieutenant spoke with Roberts yesterday and he admitted to three burglaries or attempted bur-glaries in his town. He said he will turn over his information to Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen for possible indictments.

Collins said Roberts told police that he was a narcotic drug user and that it got so bad for him he would drive around and knock on doors just hoping to find a house that was unoccupied.

“He probably knocked on hundreds of doors,” Col-lins said.

Collins said Roberts said most of the gold jewelry he stole was pawned either locally or in Manchester.

Collins said the Belmont and Laconia Police, espe-cially Belmont Det. Raechel Moulton, and Laconia Detectives Kevin Butler and Christopher Noyes were invaluable in helping him put together the pieces of the burglary ring.

“This is a great example of police departments working together,” said Collins.

engineering and technology (MET) program at the Huot Center a tour of their facility, which gave them a glimpse of the opportunities opened to them by high-tech manufacturing.

“We make things here,” said Hollinger, explaining that Eptam produces machined plastic components, which range from bits and pieces surgeons implant in spines and knees to parts for Hellfire and Toma-hawk missiles as well as Boeing 747s. Eptam’s prod-ucts have contributed to detecting explosive devices in the Middle East, tracking hurricanes in the Carib-bean and advancing scientific research at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois.

“Some of the stuff you’re going to see here will not be familiar to you,” Dearborn told the students, “but it’s the future.”

For Dearborn the future began in in 1981 the kitchen of a duplex in Franklin where he began working plastics with a drill press and table saw. After graduating from Laconia High School in 1954,

he initially worked in the electronics industry, but when his employer was acquired by a fi rm in Chi-cago, he chose to remain in New England. He joined InsulFab, Inc., since 1923 a pioneer in the plastics industry. “I loved the job,” said Dearborn, who spent 23 years with the fi rm, many as general manager of the Franklin plant, but ultimately left as the com-pany shrank amid changes in management.

After escaping two unsuccessful partnerships, Dearborn converted the kitchen to a machine shop. After a while the fl edgling company moved to space on Blaisdell Avenue, just across the Laconia city line in Gilford and subsequently built a 15,00-square-foot facility at Waterford Place.

In 1991, Dearborn, impressed by a young sales-man from one of his material suppliers, hired Hol-linger. “Jeff has been just terrifi c,” he said. By 1995, the company had added 25,000-square-feet and fi ve years later broke ground on the nine-acre site that houses the 62,000-square-foot facility in Northfi eld, studded with an array of advanced cutting, drilling, milling and fi nishing machinery, where it operates today. “We have room to double our space,” Dearborn remarked, “which I hope will happen in my lifetime.”

Hollinger recalled that about 12 years ago Eptam began turning its efforts toward the top end of the machined plastics industry by working to the most demanding designs and highest standards with the most challenging materials. “We use high perfor-mance materials, that can cost as much $2,500 a foot or $100 an inch,” he said, “and are diffi cult to work with. And we are looking at ever tighter tolerances. We’ve shrunk the competition by targeting the most challenging markets,” Hollinger said. “

Eptam has targeted the medical and aerospace markets, Hollinger said. “You must be certifi ed before customers will even talk to you,” he said, explaining that the fi rm has met the standards of regulatory compliance and quality workmanship set by the International Organization of Standards (ISO) that apply to its major markets.

Hollinger said that in 2012 Eptam will post annual sales of about $29-million which its profi t margins are “above average” for the industry. Cur-rently the plant operates around the clock with 112 employees working three shifts fi ve or six days a week. And the plant has run for 2,240 days without an accident. “Our goal,” he said, “is to reach $50-mil-lion in annual sales.”

Both Dearborn and Hollinger attributed Eptam’s success to its employees. “I’ve got some awfully good people,” Dearborn said, noting that his relationship with two employees in particular has stretched over 52 years.

“Dad has always been a people person,” said Hali.“We’re only as good as our people,” echoed Hollinger.

“If we take care of them, they will take care of us.” He said that apart from generous compensation and benefi ts, including a profi t-sharing plan, “we try to empower our people to be part of the decision-making

process.” Not surprisingly, Eptam is considered among the best companies to work for in the state.

With sound personnel policies and aggressive rein-vestment strategies, Hollinger said that the major constraint on the fi rm’s growth is fostering and sus-taining a talented workforce. “That is one of our rea-sons for supporting the Huot Center,” he said. “It’s the emphasis on math and science that develops our greatest assets — the people who work here.”

As Dearborn said, Eptam has its eye to the future and with its contribution has invested in enhancing the opportunities for those who will follow his foot-steps through Laconia High School and beyond.

The new science laboratories are a key element in the renovation of parts of Laconia High School that was made possible by the reconstruction and expan-sion of the Huot Center. The $16.8-million project will include a 32,000-square-foot addition to the high school and the reconfi guration of the athletic fi elds.

To raise the full $1-million needed to supplement state and federal funding, the capital campaign has turned to the community for donations in various amounts, all with the assurance that each contribu-tor will be commemorated.

Eptam Plastics is the most recent of a number of local fi rms to contribute to the project. The new play-ing fi eld will be known as Bank of New Hampshire Stadium in honor of its $250,000 gift. The culinary arts program, replete with a the restaurant open to the public in new addition, will bear the name of Mer-edith Village Savings Bank in return for its $100,000 donation to the project. The Irwin Automotive Group contributed $50,000 and Irwin Marine $25,000.

There are also opportunities for individuals and families to contribute.

The entrance to the stadium will be lined with brick and granite pavers, each bearing a name or message of a donor.There will be 1,000 brick pavers measuring four inches by eight inches with space for 20 characters for a donation of $125 and 300 brick pavers measuring eight inches by inches with space for 40 characters for donations of $250. The 150 granite pavers are twelve inches square with space for a message, an image or a combination of the two in return for a $1,000 donation.

For those wishing to make their contribution by Paypal or a credit card the school district has pro-vided a pathway on its website. Simply go to laco-niaschools.org and click on the “LHS Athletic Field Capital Campaign” link. Those purchasing a gran-ite paver, or making a donation of equal or greater value, may spread their payment over several years. For information about making such an arrange-ment, contact the Laconia School District either by e-mail at lhscapitalcampaign@laconiaschools.org or telephone at 524-5710.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t get stressed out about the idea of fol-lowing your intuition by wondering which internal voice is the right one. Intuition often comes in the form of curiosity or interest. Follow that, and you’ll be psychically connected. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Beware of unguarded sharing. You won’t trust those who give too much information, and others won’t trust you if you tell stories that aren’t yours to tell. Loose lips sink ships. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will sense that there is absolutely nothing to be gained by trying to be liked and selfl ess. You’ll take care of your own needs and pursue what delights you -- and people will like you all the more because of it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have been neglecting what you want, afraid of making others uncomfortable. What if you don’t ask for what’s reason-able? What if you ask for more than you think you deserve? You just might get it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do you have the sense that someone is mess-ing with you? This is nothing personal. It might help you to pretend like this person is playing the kind of elaborate game that makes life worth living. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be strongly protective of your loved ones and will, in your own calm, con-trolled way, leap to their defense given the least provocation. Do the same for yourself. Teach the world how to treat you and yours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even though the demands on you are not loud or harsh, they are still abundant. So be as generous and helpful as you want to be, but also know where to

draw the line. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For all of your resistance to the work, you still get it done. So why resist it at all? It’s too tiring. Submit to the inevitable, and you just might fi nd that you’re actually enjoying it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some days, the hours run like a low-grade fever, irritating in their develop-ment; everything makes you mad. Moods like that are signals that it’s time to rest. Ride it out and expect little of yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you are very clear about why you want to do something, your choices become more obvious. Just rule out everything that goes against your “why,” and you’ll be left with the best answers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your inner drive will be stoked by external events that seem to rally you forward, cheerleader style. The attention you get is a reward in itself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). By reading about and experiencing the company of people who are different from you, you get more clarity about who you are and how you want to be perceived. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 7). You’ll get another chance at a dream that’s not been realized. You’ll be con-siderably more creative in October. In November, it’s the impractical ven-tures that lead to exciting and lucrative developments. Family embraces your venture. March and May bring other investors on board. Love signs are Sagittarius and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 23, 15 and 19.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My older sister, “Susie,” is 33 and has been receiving fi nancial support from my parents for more than a decade. They give her money outright and also pay her car insurance, health insurance and other bills. Susie does not work. She’s in a master’s program, but it is unclear whether she will fi nish. My mother believes she needs to help Susie, as she has had mental illness issues throughout her adulthood. I am not upset that Susie is receiving money from my par-ents. It also doesn’t bother me that I am not likely to receive similar assistance. But I worry that my parents are giving Su-sie no reason to fi nish her degree or pursue a job. I consider it enabling. On several occasions, Susie has maxed out her credit cards, and my mother paid those off. My parents do not have the money to continue doing this. Is it appropriate to speak with them about this? -- A Sister Who Doesn’t Know What To Do Dear Sister: We don’t know the extent of Susie’s “mental illness issues” and whether or not she is capable of holding down a job or fi nishing her degree. Your parents believe they need to help her until she can support herself, and that pursu-ing a master’s degree will allow her to fi nd gainful employ-ment. We hope they are right. While you do not get to decide how your parents spend their money, you can bring up this subject and ask whether they have made arrangements for Susie’s care after they are gone. Dear Annie: I have been married for 20 years to the young-est of seven siblings. Whenever a niece or nephew has mar-ried or had children, the aunts (myself included) have given a shower. The problem is, I’m never asked. I’m just told. Once, I didn’t even know until I received an invitation with my name listed. Am I crazy to think that my husband’s sisters should ask

whether I’m interested in hosting a shower? I’m expected to make food, clean up and share expenses, but never given the opportunity to give any input. The few times I tried, I was completely ignored. To make matters worse, my husband’s family believes they need to invite a huge number of people, which means a hall must be rented and the total cost becomes prohibitive. Each shower has gotten bigger and more expen-sive, and each time, I’m simply informed of how big of a check I need to write and what I need to cook. We have a congenial but not close relationship with his sib-lings, and we don’t have children ourselves. How do I get the point across that I don’t want to be a hostess without com-pletely offending the family? -- Unwilling in Nebraska Dear Nebraska: We won’t get into the etiquette of family members hosting a shower or having one so large that you must rent a hall. They aren’t likely to pay attention to those things. Find a time when there are no upcoming events sched-uled to talk to the sister-in-law with whom you are closest. Explain that you appreciate being included as a regular host-ess, but you cannot always manage it. Ask them sweetly to please consult you before assuming you will take on these responsibilities. (You may need to remind them more than once.) Dear Annie: I, too, would like to weigh in on the discussion regarding whether or not to have fl owers at a funeral. Funerals are for the loved ones left behind. I attended the funeral of my friend’s only daughter, and we were asked to bring fl owers because her daughter loved them. They were overfl owing. There are 364 other days to donate to charity. People can send a donation in honor or in memory of anyone at any time. -- Not a Florist

PLYMOUTH — For the Pemigewasset Choral Society (Pemi), spring was a time of change and growth. With direction of the Chorus passing from retiring Dr. Robert Swift (32 yrs) to Rob St. Cyr, spring was a time of blossoming and growth spurts. Sadly, Rob St. Cyr is unable to continue with Pemi due to his new position as Director of Choral Activi-ties for Phillips Exeter Academy.

With the fall season approaching, Pemi is happy to announce the Choir will resume under the direc-tion of Leslie McDonnell. Leslie earned her Bach-elor’s Degree in Music Education from West Chester University and her Master of Music Degree in Piano Performance from the College of New Jersey. She was a music teacher with the Pennsbury School dis-trict in Pennsylvania for 34 years before retiring to New Hampshire.

A singer all her life she has been a longtime

member of the Pemi Alto section also per-forming with the NH Master Chorale, the NH Festival Chorus, and the NH Friendship Chorus. From child-hood to present day, she has sung in numer-ous school, church, and community choruses and ensembles.

As a conductor, Leslie has been the musical director of a variety of groups. She is currently conducting the Mountain Lake Chorale in NH along with her new Pemi position. She brought solid directing experience to NH from PA where she directed the Young Women of Note

William Gunn (Courtesy photo)

and the Middle School Honors Choir from the Pennsbury School Dis-trict. Her accomplish-ments also include direction of the children and bell choirs from the Langhorne United Methodist Church.

Highlighting her skills as a musician she has accompanied choirs for many years includ-ing part-time accompa-nist for the Pemi and NH Friendship chorus. On occasion Leslie has performed as a piano soloist

Melcher & Prescott hosting Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours on September 12

Melcher & Prescott Insurance is hosting the September 12 Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours. On hand to plan this networking event is William Bald, VP & Life/Health Dept. Mgr; Elaine Blinn, Chamber Ambassador/Board of Directors; Claire Hebert, Marketing Associate; Holly Marston, Offi ce Manager; Shaun Farley, VP & COO; and H. Thomas Volpe, President. (Cour-tesy photo)

LACONIA — Melcher & Prescott Insurance will host the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce Busi-ness After Hours on Wednesday, September 12, from 5-7 p.m. at the Laconia offi ce.

Celebrating 150 years of serving their communi-ties, Melcher & Prescott is proud to be a business leader in the Lakes Region. Special guest will be Sen. Jeannie Forrester. There will be raffl e prizes, giveaways and a spread of hors d’oeuvres. For addi-tional information contact the Chamber at 524-5531.

In 1862, the agency was formed by Woodbury Melcher who had been mayor of Laconia as well as President of Laconia Savings Bank (now Bank of NH). In 1876 he was joined in partnership by True Prescott. In 1959 the agency was purchased by H. Thomas Volpe, who remains active to this day as President.

Based in downtown Laconia the agency has grown to include four other locations – Meredith (formerly Bertram Blaisdell Agency); Plymouth (formerly Ayer Agency); Chocorua (formerly Raymond Flana-gan Agency); and Moultonborough (formerly Reuben Hodge Agency).

“I am very proud of our history,” comments Volpe. “We are one of the top three continuously locally-owned businesses with a recognized commitment to our clients and community.”

Last year Melcher and Prescott created a strategic alliance with three other prominent New Hampshire agencies to bring new products and more competitive pricing options to its clients. The Alliance has since grown to include ten agencies in four states with 31 locations. “We now have all the buying power of the large national and regional brokers; but, because we are locally owned and operated, all of our efforts and resources stay right here to benefi t our neighbors,” comments Shaun Farley, COO.

TILTON — The 99 restaurant is hosting a fund raising event for the Belmont High School Spanish Club on September 13. From 5 to 8 p.m., 15 percent of participating guest checks will be donated to the club. Proceeds raised will help students participate in an exchange program with Spanish students.

To have their bill included in the

fund raiser, guests should stop by a table in the restaurant’s lobby to pick up a voucher. Students will also be selling raffle tickets at the table.

In October, a group of students from Spain will visit Belmont High School through the exchange program. Local students hope to travel to Spain in April and are organizing several fund raisers to help make that possible.
