CONCORD — Although the effort to expand Medicaid ran aground in the New Hamp-shire Senate on Thursday, the two senators from the Lakes Region — Democrat Andrew

Hosmer of Laconia and Repub-lican Jeanie Forrester of Meredith — believe that a com-promise will be reached and the program will go forward.

“It was the timing we got stuck on,” Hosmer said yester-

day. “We’ve got minor issues holding up major health care reform. My disappointment is that we had an opportunity to do something,” he continued. “But many of us, on both sides of the aisle, remain optimistic.”

“We were almost there,”

remarked Forrester. “It didn’t work, but I believe we can make it work.”

DALLAS (AP) — It was the same time, 12:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22. It was the same place, downtown Dallas.

But 50 years later, the thousands of people who filled Dealey Plaza weren’t there to cheer but to remember in quiet sadness the young, handsome president with whom Dallas will always be “linked in tragedy.”

The solemn ceremony presided over by Mayor Mike Rawlings was the first time the city had organized an official Kennedy anniversary event, issuing 5,000 free tick-ets and erecting a stage with video screens.

Somber remembrances extended from Dallas to the shores of Cape Cod, with moments of silence, speeches by historians and, above all, simple reverence for a time and a leader long gone.

“We watched the nightmarish reality in our front yard,” Rawlings told the crowd, which assembled just steps from the Texas

NEW YORK (AP) — A day after setting off an uproar among travelers opposed to the idea of in-flight phone calls, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission Chairman backtracked, saying he personally isn’t in favor of calls on planes.

RIGA, Latvia (AP) — As Latvian rescue workers searched Friday for bodies in the rubble of a supermarket collapse that killed dozens, speculation about the cause focused on a garden and a playground being installed on the grass- and gravel-covered roof.

The death toll from the Thursday eve-ning rush-hour roof collapse at the Maxima supermarket in Latvia’s capital had risen to at least 51, including three firefighters, police said.

CONWAY (AP) — The mother of a 15-year-old North Conway girl who vanished last month on her way home from high school says she believes her daughter will come home someday.

Abigail Hernandez was last seen Wednes-day, Oct. 9, after leaving Kennett High School. Police say she walked her normal route toward home and sent several texts between 2:30 and 3 p.m. Police say she never made it home.

At a news conference Friday, Zenya Hernan-dez said she her daugh-ter’s absence every day. In a dream, she says Abigail comes home and she believes the dream “matters.”

She is urging her daughter to be strong.

Tips continue to come into the FBI hotline: 1-800-CALL FBI.

Police say they don’t know whether Abigail was involved in an acci-dent, ran away or was abducted.

Anniversary of JFK’s death brings sadness, solemnitySchool Book Depository building where Lee Harvey Oswald fired from the sixth floor at Kennedy’s open-top limousine. “Our presi-dent had been taken from us, taken from his family, taken from the world.”

Two generations later, the assassination still stirs quiet sadness in the baby boom-ers who remember it as the beginning of a darker, more cynical time.

“A new era dawned and another waned a half-century ago, when hope and hatred collided right here in Dallas,” Rawlings told the crowd that gathered under gray skies and in near-freezing temperatures. The mayor said the slaying prompted Dallas to “turn civic heartbreak into hard work” and helped the city mature into a more toler-ant, welcoming metropolis.

The slain president “and our city will forever be linked in tragedy, yes,” Rawlings said. “But out of tragedy, an opportunity was granted to us: how to face the future

when it’s the darkest and uncertain.”Historian David McCullough said Ken-

nedy “spoke to us in that now-distant time past, with a vitality and sense of purpose such as we had never heard before.”

Kennedy “was young to be president, but it didn’t seem so if you were younger still,” McCullough added. “He was ambitious to make it a better world, and so were we.”

Past anniversaries have been marked mostly by loose gatherings of the curi-ous and conspiracy-minded, featuring everything from makeshift memorials and marching drummers to freewheeling discussions about others who might have been in on the killing.

On Friday, the mayor unveiled a plaque with remarks the president was supposed to deliver later that day in Dallas. Rawl-ings’ comments were followed by a mourn-ful tolling of bells and a moment of silence

51 dead in collapse of grocery store roof in capital of LatviaPolice opened a criminal investigation

into the cause of the tragedy at the award-winning building — once vaunted as a place where high-rise residents could step out of their homes, stroll along a shady garden and pick up a couple of items for dinner.

Riga Mayor Nils Usakovs told reporters that large bags of construction materials and soil were left on a weak spot on the roof and could have caused the collapse. It had rained for days, leading to specula-

tion that the soil had become soaked and weighed down.

Deputy Mayor Andris Ameriks said that several reinforced steel beams fell over at once, which might indicate that engineers failed to properly calculate load pressure on the roof. He blamed budget cuts for a lack of construction controls.

“In recent years due to the economic crisis many institutions, including con-struction oversight, ... were closed in

FCC chairman says he personally opposes in-flight phone calls“We understand that many

passengers would prefer that voice calls not be made on air-planes. I feel that way myself,” chairman Tom Wheeler said in a Friday statement.

The role of the FCC, he added, is to advise if there is a safety issue with using phones

on planes. Amending the agen-cy’s rules “will be only a tech-nical advisory.” The decision to allow calls will ultimately rest with the airlines, Wheeler emphasized.

Just three weeks into his job, Wheeler struck a nerve with travelers Thursday when he

said it was time for the agency to review “our outdated and restrictive rules” about mobile services on airplanes. The rules have been in place for 22 years. A tentative agenda for the FCC’s Dec. 12 meeting, posted Thursday, listed the

at the precise time that Kennedy was shot.In Dallas, the dreary weather was far different

from the bright sunshine that filled the day of the assassination. But that didn’t stop crowds from lining up hours before the ceremonies began.

Drew Carney and his girlfriend, Chelsea Medwe-chuk traveled from Toronto to attend the ceremony. Like many of those in attendance, they wore plastic ponchos to ward off the rain.

At 25 and 24, respectively, they were born a quarter-century after Kennedy died. Carney, a high school history teacher, said he became intrigued with Kennedy and his ideals as a teenager.

“It filled you with such hope,” he said.Elsewhere, flags were lowered to half-staff and

wreaths were laid at Kennedy’s presidential library and at a waterfront memorial near the family’s Cape Cod compound.

Shortly after sunrise, Attorney General Eric Holder paid his respects at Kennedy’s recently

refurbished grave at Arlington National Cemetery, where a British cavalry officer stood guard, bagpipes played and a flame burned steadily as it has since Kennedy was buried.

About an hour later, Jean Kennedy Smith, 85, the last surviving Kennedy sibling, laid a wreath at her brother’s grave, joined by about 10 members of the Kennedy family. They clasped hands for a short, silent prayer and left roses as a few hundred onlook-ers watched.

In Boston, Gov. Deval Patrick and Maj. Gen. Scott Rice of the Massachusetts National Guard endured a heavy rain during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Kennedy statue on the front lawn of the Statehouse. The statue, dedicated in 1990, has been largely off-limits to public viewing since security procedures put in place after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But the area was opened to visitors Friday.

Both of Kennedy’s grandfathers served in the Massachusetts Legislature, and in January 1961 the president-elect came to the Statehouse to deliver

one of his most famous addresses, which came to be known as the “City on a Hill” speech, just before leaving for his inauguration in Washington.

The tributes extended across the Atlantic to Ken-nedy’s ancestral home in Ireland.

In Dublin, a half-dozen Irish soldiers toting guns with brilliantly polished bayonets formed an honor guard outside the U.S. Embassy as the American flag was lowered to half-staff. An Irish army com-mander at the embassy drew a sword and held it aloft as a lone trumpeter played “The Last Post,” the traditional British salute to war dead.

More than a dozen retired Irish army officers who, as teenage cadets, had formed an honor guard at Kennedy’s graveside gathered in the front garden of the embassy to remember the first Irish-American to become leader of the free world.

Together with Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore and embassy staff, they observed a moment of silence and laid wreaths from the Irish and Amer-ican governments in JFK’s memory.

proposed revision. It was the first the public heard of the change.

Wheeler seemingly underestimated the public outrage and media attention that such a move would generate.

“It struck a nerve ... their phones have been ringing,” said Craig Aaron, president of Free Press, a consumer advocacy group. “It’s a lot of attention for an agency that usually doesn’t get that much attention.”

By Friday afternoon, Wheeler’s language was much more subdued. The new message: “The job of the FCC with respect to this issue is limited to issues related to communications technology.”

Wheeler emphasized that “our proposal does not impose any requirement that airlines should pro-vide voice connectivity.” And to hammer home the point, the word “not” was underlined.

“We believe that airlines are best positioned to make such decisions,” he said in a statement. Requests for an interview were declined by his spokesman.

Most airlines have said they would study the issue and survey their customers. Delta Air Lines was the only carrier to outright reject voice calls, regardless of what the FCC decides.

A petition opposing the FCC’s move posted on the White House website attracted nearly 1,250 signa-

tures by Friday afternoon.Posted by a self-described frequent flier from Rich-

mond, Va., it said: “Forcing (passengers) to listen to the inane, loud, private, personal conversations of a stranger is perhaps the worst idea the FCC has come up with to date ... I think the administration needs to nip this in the bud.”

LETTERSIt never occurred to him that it was against regulations or the law?

Pat Buchanan

Will Obamacare be the death of liberalism?

By 1968, Walter Lippmann, the dean of liberal columnists, had con-cluded that liberalism had reached the end of its tether.

In that liberal epoch, the 1960s, the Democratic Party had marched us into an endless war that was tear-ing America apart. Lyndon John-son’s Great Society had produced four “long, hot summers” of racial riots and a national crime rate that had doubled in a decade. The young were alienated, the campuses aflame. Lippmann endorsed Richard Nixon.

For 40 years, no unabashed lib-eral would be elected president. Jimmy Carter won one term by presenting himself as a born-again Christian from Georgia, a peanut farmer, Naval Academy graduate and nuclear engineer. Bill Clinton ran as a centrist. So toxic had the term “liberal” become that liber-als dropped it and had themselves rebaptized as “progressives.”

Barack Obama, however, ran unapologetically as a man of the left. An opponent of the Iraq war, he had compiled a voting record to the left of Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont. And Obama proudly placed his sig-nature achievement, Obamacare, right alongside, and in the tradition of, liberal giants FDR and LBJ. This is the new progressivism of the 21st century, Obama was saying, and I the transformational figure who will usher in the post-Reagan era. Where Clinton failed, I will succeed.

But now that Obamacare is coming to be perceived as a political catastro-phe, not only does it threaten Obama’s place in history, it could invalidate, indeed, eviscerate the defining idea of the Democratic Party itself. For Democrats are the Party of Govern-ment. They believe that government is more nobly motivated than a pri-vate sector that runs on self-interest and the profit motive, and that gov-ernment can achieve goals private enterprise could never accomplish. To liberals, government is us, the per-sonification of the nation.

Social Security, Medicare, Medi-care and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are monuments to this belief. So, too, are the world wars fought and won under liberal presidents Woodrow Wilson and FDR. It was 1968, the Tet Offensive, the assassi-nations, the urban riots, the campus anarchy, the smash-up of the Demo-cratic Party in the streets of Chicago that caused the national recoil from liberalism that lasted for 40 years.

Now consider what the rollout of Obamacare is doing, not only to this president and his administration, but also to the idea that govern-ment has the solution to America’s problems. Though they had as long as World War II to get it done, Obama’s crowd could not even pro-duce a working website. Now we learn the White House was alerted

to the website problems in March but plunged ahead.

Obama’s reputation for competence has been shredded, and, so, too, has his reputation for truthfulness.

With millions losing their health insurance because of Obamacare mandates, we learn that Obama and his team knew this was inevitable, even as they reassured us, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. Period.”

The brutal truth: Our president got his legacy program passed by deceiving the American people in a giant swindle.

Not only have millions lost their health care plans, tens of millions more may lose theirs at year’s end when they learn that their employ-er’s health care plans also do not meet Obamacare mandates.

Hillarycare cost the Democrats the House in 1994. Obamacare, the love child of Hillarycare, could cost Democrats the Senate in 2014.

But what makes this a disaster not just for a party but a philosophy is that Obamacare is liberalism incar-nate. It is premised on the idea that progressives, starting from scratch, can redesign a health care system, 16 percent of the economy, and make it more fair, more just and more effi-cient for us all. Obamacare was an act of hubris by an administration of talking heads most of whom never ran anything in their lives. And what we are witnessing is the antithesis of what we were promised.

So confident were they in the wonks that wrote the bill that Nancy Pelosi could say, “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.”

Seven weeks in, the website is not fixed. Millions have lost their health care plans. Quality hospitals are being cut out of the program as too costly. Individuals are being offered plans inferior to what they had in terms of benefits, but with far more costly premiums.

The crisis for Obama, his party, and his philosophy is that this is not only a nightly national story; it is a daily story in every state. And the anecdotes of debacles have been piling up, one upon another, for seven weeks. They do not cease, and there is no end in sight. Nothing, it appears, will interrupt the litany of personal woes before Democrats, in panic, cut themselves loose of Obamacare and try to swim away from the Lusitania.

It will likely be a long time before another Democratic president dares again another such Great Leap Forward.

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

To The Daily Sun,I was shocked, disgusted, and driven

to write this letter by the comments of the former Gilford chief of police, Kevin Keenan, in your paper yesterday. “It is known that police officers of all ranks have had extra-marital relationships at times when there were problems within their own marriages.” I quote.

Cheating and lying, yes, have gone on in many occupations and areas of life. I agree. There should be a higher standard for someone in public life when such issues are breached. The other officer in question has not been publicly raked over the coals, as the chief has been, but they also were entrusted with duties such as helping to police young people and teaching right from wrong — how dare they!

Plus, when caught they were given paid leave. When I screw up at a job, I get fired with no pay!

It never occurred to him that it was against regulations, or the law. . . really. . . a grown man does not know that was wrong . . . especially in the position he held? Give me a break. Then I guess if there was nothing wrong you didn’t need to hide it from

everyone — like your children, family members, and your neighbors you supposed to be working for and lead-ing by example? And you had a prob-lem having your daughter read about it in the paper. . . how about next time you cheat think of her reaction first, not after you were caught. Everyone is sorry after they are caught.

Adultery hurts everyone involved. It is not a crime anymore but it hurts so many people that it should be. Just because it’s not on the books anymore doesn’t make it okay, Mr. Keenan. When fellow officers watch you lie to your wife and family, sneak around with another officer, and know you are a cheater it undermined your depart-ment, your town, and the honorable badge you were entrusted to wear.

I am sorry for having gone off like this, but when people make blatantly stupid remarks it drives you to speak up. For shame on you and the other officer fro holding others up to the law and whats right while you ran around behind peoples backs lying, cheating, and being hypocrites.

Julie LawrenceLaconia

Loyalists will also suffer consequences of what Obama is doingTo The Daily Sun,

After reading some of the letters in the Laconia Daily Sun, I wondered, at what point do loyalists give up on supporting the ones who provide the lies du jour?

Every day we are being informed that the current administration knowingly deceived the citizens. We’re informed that information was manipulated to sway voters into believing something good happened when, in truth, just the opposite occurred. Promises were made that the authors of those promises knew couldn’t be fulfilled. Stonewall-ing, hiding the truth, has become the standard operating procedure. Reward-ing incompetence and guile is now the norm, as no one gets their employment terminated, even for the most griev-ous of offenses. Deceit abounds! New scandals are introduced to deflect truth seekers away from even more troubling scandals, and the seekers are demon-ized and attacked with untruths about their character. Government depart-ments and employees are being turned against the citizens in support of the leadership. The Constitution is being

routinely ignored and laws violated while the leader of the Senate barely gives a yawn to the problems. At the same time, he changes the rules so that he can implement the tyranny of the majority. Separation of powers are trod upon as more dictatorial methods are being employed, and the will of the people is being ignored. Cover-up is accepted and defended by loyalists.

When the president was re-elected, I wrote that regardless of our politi-cal side, we all would live under and be affected by how the administration performs, on both the national and international stages. I mention this to alert the administration’s loyal-ists, that they too will suffer the con-sequences of what our Chicago-style administration is doing.

After the Constitutional Convention, Mrs. Powe asked Benjamin Franklin, “Tell me, what kind of a government have you given us?” To which Franklin replied, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Can we keep it? Start demanding truth.Bob MeadeLaconia

WHY WE ARE PICKETING DUNKIN’ DONUTS

Dunkin’ Donuts told the City of Laconia in 2008, that they would “restore and maintain” the building known as Hathaway House while trying to lease or sell said building. They did neither – in fact, they practiced ‘demolition by neglect’ by letting the building fall in disrepair. The owners of Dunkin’ Donuts lied to the residents of Laconia and are planning to tear down the building. We ask that you support the boycott of Dunkin’ Donuts at the following locations: Union Avenue and South Main Street as well as those locations next to Gilford Mobile Mart and Airport Country Store in Gilford and Alton Bay.

If it’s coffee and pastries you want, there are many places here in Laconia that offer great service, here are a few, not including the many fine restaurants around the area:

• Aroma Joe’s on Union Ave. • My Coffee House on Court St. • Circle K on Union Ave. • Cumberland Farms at the Weirs and on Court St. • Awakenings Café on US RT 3 in Gilford • Annie’s Café on Union Ave.

Please support us AND Laconia’s history by stopping the destruction of the Hathaway House. It would be nice, if after years of getting monetary support from area residents, if Dunkin’ Donuts gave something back to the community such as, the restoration and use of this landmark.

You may call Dunkin’ Donuts’ Corporate Headquarters to voice your displeasure at: 800-859-5339 or 781-737-5200.

Thank you, to the citizens and businesses of Laconia and the Lakes Region! Boy Scout Troop and Cub Scout Pack 68 has had some hard moments recently. It has been the whirlwind of gracious and kind acts by so many that have helped us smile through it.

The best news is that our Scout Hut will be up and running again very soon! Our boys will be able to “come home” to their hut and continue to follow their path through scouting in the building built for them. Please know that there will never be enough words to thank all of you for the sup-port and assistance you have given us.

In just the past year, Troop 68 has had three young men make Eagle. Boys and troop leaders have given over 200 hours of community service to local organizations (Got Lunch! Laconia and the WOW Trail) and local citizens (leaf raking, wood staking and various other odd jobs). They have slept in cold weather, wet weather, very hot weather and perfect weather. They have climbed mountains, raised flags, pitched tents, and collected food. The Peace Light was brought and shared and people were served a lot of pancakes! We intend to increase all of these activities and hope to add more in the coming year. We look forward to giving back to you, Laconia!

As we come to the end of this exciting year we come to a very distinctive mile-stone. This year we are celebrating 75 years of scouting in Laconia! It’s tough to imagine how many boys in this city have a connection to this troop. I often wonder who they are and where they are today? Are they here, in Laconia? Have they traveled the world? What do they remember from their years with 68? Did it help them in anyway in their adult lives? What would they tell our current boys to encourage them to con-tinue in scouting?

We have met a handful of people who were members but we would love to meet even more! This Sunday, Nov. 24 from noon at 3 p.m. at the Norman J. Tourigny, Scout Hut, located behind Holy Trinity School off of Church Street in Laconia, Troop 68 will cel-ebrate its 75 years of service to this wonderful city and its young men. If you were associated with this troop in any way; a scout, a leader, a parent, a committee member, at any time and would like to share memories (in pic-ture form or in words) please stop by and say hello! If you would like to visit the scout hut and learn a little more about scouting in Laconia, stop in! We look forward to meeting you!

Thank you Laconia!Tara ShoreCommittee Chair, Troop 68Laconia

LETTERSThank you for showing our children there is good in the worldTo The Daily Sun,

On November 12th, seven friends decided that they would participate in the Operation Christ-mas Child organized by Samaritan’s Purse.

After dance class, all the friends gathered at the Gilford Dollar Tree and had a budget of seven dollars to pick out from their shopping list; gifts for a boy or girl in need.

L-r: Tyler, Henry, Mercedes, Natalee, Sydney, Macy & Grace

They carried their own basket and without judgment picked out lovingly items that they thought a boy or girl would like.

One of the mothers had told the cashier what we were doing since seven 4 and 5 years olds running around a store might be disruptive. The cashier thought it was kind. While the friends were choosing the right gifts; a gentleman approached and informed the cashier that he would be paying for the children’s entire purchases for Operation Christmas Child. We were grateful and touched and at a loss for words. Here we are, parents of preschoolers trying to teach them about giving back, and they see in action what kindness is all about.

The friends went home, decorated their boxes, made cards for the recipi-ents and packed the gifts in the box to be mailed out sometime next week.

The plan is to pay it forward...

paying for someone’s lunch at a res-taurant, buying someone’s coffee behind us, going to the food pantry to deliver food. Anything to use that money we would have spent on those children in need.

Thank you for your kindness, for showing our children there IS good in the world and that this community knows about giving back to others.

The following blurb is taken from the website if you want to know more about this organization: “Since 1993, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experi-enced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and min-istry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.”

Republicans turned back on 50k un- & underinsured N.H. citizensTo The Daily Sun,

I’m sure all of our Republican state senators are looking forward to a generous Thanksgiving holiday filled with friends, family and food.

It is unfortunate that they have chosen to be less than generous to nearly 50,000 N.H. residents who would have qualified for Medicaid coverage if N.H. expanded the state’s plan.

These are individuals who will count themselves lucky if they have a turkey this Thanksgiving. These are the people who worry about a medical crisis cost-ing them their home, not just their health. These are our neighbors who are forced to use the emergency room

as their primary care physician because they cannot afford the alternative.

Senate Republicans had numerous options on the table to stamp Medicaid expansion with a N.H. brand, protect taxpayers from financial exposure, max-imize the use of $2.5B in federal funds and keep individuals with employer-sponsored coverage on those plans. But they walked out on those options and turned their backs on 50,000 un- and underinsured N.H. citizens.

I wish I could believe these Republi-can senators will feel just an ounce of guilt as they sit down to a Thanksgiv-ing feast, but I seriously doubt it.

LETTERSFor most of my daughters lives, mom has been working for peaceTo The Daily Sun,

I meet new people interested in the peace movement, and I see surprise on their faces when I tell them that our Plym-outh Common peace vigil has run Satur-days for an hour since February of 1998. We miss occasionally for family reasons, but pretty much we maintain it. We leaf-let with a peace/justice issue topic, timely, handing out between 25-30 of these. We raise up a peace banner between light-post and tree. We’ve done this in the work for no-war through administrations of Clinton, Bush, and now Obama.

Similarly N.H. Peace Action has passed our 30-year mark, last year. We have now seen the U.S.’s longest war, and we lament the loss of life, the maimed lives, the excessive monetary cost. We think the U.S. can do better. As President Eisenhower said, “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money

alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is human-ity hanging on a cross of iron.”

I invite others beyond our N.H. Peace Action mailing list to donate to our statewide effort to shape a peace-ful and sustainable world. Our website is nhpeaceaction.org, or call 228-0559. At year’s end we look forward to being useful in 2014, to organizing, to providing speakers and speak-out opportunities. Our projects are both long-term and fledgling. We hire a full-time director and keep a Concord office. My daughters are now 43 and 40, so most of their lives their mom has been working for peace, and not alone in that. As chair of N.H. Peace Action Education Fund at this time, I thank all who do support us and ask others to prioritize peace and justice by connecting with us. Peace in 2014.

Anything U.S. government does is ‘absolutely free’ for us in N.H.?To The Daily Sun,

After reading Paula Trombi’s letter in Wednesday’s Sun, I proceeded to take her advice and I e-mailed Sen. Forrester and I did feel better afterward. I advised the senator to stand her ground against the expansion of Medicaid as it will cause New Hampshire serious financial difficulties down the road.

Ms. Trombi states in capital letters that it is “ABSOLUTELY FREE”. Her naivete is quite astounding. I’m sure she still believes her illustrious president’s state-ment that “if you like your health plan you can keep your health plan.” I hate to burst your bubble, Ms. Trombi but there is no such thing as “free money.” It all comes out of our pocket one way or another. Have you noticed that the 100 percent funding of this program ends along with Obama’s term in office? I wonder if the timing of

that and the timing of the Unaffordable Care Act’s onset after the 2012 election have anything in common. You bet your sweet bippie they do!

If you want a healthier society tell your Ppesident to put his ego and ideologies on hold and get to work making sure that everybody that wants to work has that opportunity and those that don’t want to work aren’t taking the funds that should be reserved for those in need, such as the elderly and handicapped. We could improve those lives dramatically if the leeches of society weren’t sucking the blood out of our assistance programs. That’s the kind of society I want to live in. I guess if that happened the new Demo-cratic Party would lose most of their con-stituents along with their votes.

Chris Roberts, and other MetroCast Cabelvision volunteers, hang Christmas lights on the trees lining downtown’s Main Street Thursday evening. (Karen Bobotas/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

MetroCast employees string downtown Laconia Christmas lights

on Wednesday night, adding that he didn’t agree with exotic dancing and the activity, in his opinion, it allegedly attracts.

“However, due to existing laws in these times, ... I can’t legally oppose (it), O’Brien said.

Selectman Chair Kevin Hayes said “he would hold his nose” and vote to support Drew having his license. He said in his 5 1/2 years of being a selectman, no single topic has been brought to his attention by a wider variety of residents than the operations at the King’s Grant Inn property during its history as a “strip club.”

Hayes also said he hoped that if Drew and Lyons were successful, they would reinvest money back into the property.

Drew’s lawyer, David Bownes, thanked selectmen for the license, noting that the meeting was not the time nor the place to respond to their statements. He noted selectmen have the same First Amend-ment right to express their individual opinions as Drew does to operate an exotic dancing club.

Nevertheless, Drew went to the podium.He told selectmen that for 22 years he has “jumped

through hoops” to keep his business afl oat and has sunk nearly $300,000 into the building and property.

Drew said he has been fi ghting to stay open since 1994, telling the selectmen that if the town had been a little more accommodating, he may have made enough money to reinvest in his property.

He noted that a former police chief also waged see next page

GILFORD — A Belmont man has been charged with one misdemeanor count of possessing a loaded weapon in a vehicle without a permit and one felony count of possession of heroin.

Police said an officer on routine patrol at 7:45 p.m. on November 18 noticed two suspicious cars in the Airport Plaza parking lots along with a group of individuals gathered around the vehicles.

The officer spoke with Elwin Weeks, 30, of Brown Hill Road and saw a handgun in plain view in the

car. Through the course of his investigation, he found the handgun — a Walther P-99 — was loaded.

It is against N.H. law to have a loaded gun in a car without a concealed weapon permit.

Police also said they found a small amount of heroin on him.

Weeks was released on personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to appear in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division on December 19.

LACONIA — The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has set the 2013 property tax rate at $22.08 per $1,000 of assessed value, and increase of $1.08, or 5.1 percent, over the 2012 rate.

The amount to be raised by property taxes rose by $831,733, or 2.2 percent, from $38,479,735 to $39,311,468, while the total assessed valuation fell by $53,649,580, or 2.9 percent, from $1,857,853,703 to $1,804,204,123.

The city tax increased from $8.14 to $8.55, the

Laconia property tax burden rises 2.2% for 2013local school tax from $8.81 to $9.40, the state educa-tion tax from $2.59 to $2.66 and the county tax from $1.46 to $1.47.

The city’s tax cap, enacted by voters in 2005, limits the increase in the total amount of property taxes collected to the previous year’s number times an official measure of inflation. An extra allowance for increase due to the value of new building permits is also allowed.

LACONIA — Police arrested an area man on an outstanding warrant Thursday night while respond-ing to a call for a burglary on Union Avenue.

Officials said they received a report at 10:54 p.m. from a person saying she had just seen a man crawl-ing through her neighbor’s window.

Burglar alert leads police to arrest man on credit card chargeScott DeForge, 21, was arrested on an outstanding

He was released on personal recognizance bail.Laconia Police said they are still investigating the

burglary report.

a clandestine investigation against him and his business that involved 14 investigations and three undercover operations that yielded nothing.

Ten years ago, said Drew, a former fire chief deter-mined he had to reduce his occupancy from 163 to 99 because he didn’t have a sprinkler system, forcing him to close his dining room.

Without naming names, he said there are other entertainment establishments in Gilford who have greater capacity than him who don’t have sprinkler systems because their buildings and businesses were “grandfathered,” as he believes his should be.

Drew also told selectmen that the portion of Route 11-B from Kimball Road to Route 11 should be zoned commercial-industrial and not residential commercial. He noted that most of Kimball Road is

commercial and industrial.He also said that exotic dancing was “the only

thing that pays the bills.”In the not-so-distant-past Drew and Bownes also

prevailed in a lawsuit against the town for denying the former Kokomos club an adult entertainment license in a case that went to the U.S. Federal Court.

The Lakes Region Cafe & Tavern will be operating at the former King’s Grant Inn. In its most recent incarnation, the historic inn and tavern had been being operated as the Mardi Gras North and though Drew owns the property, he was not an active man-ager of that business.

In October of 2011, and in the wake of what appears to be a lengthy undercover state police drug investigation, the Mardi Gras North was raided on a

Tuesday night by two SWAT Teams and most of the members of the Gilford Police Department. Select-men as well as some other civilian town employees were present on the property during the raid.

In the wake of the raid, five female dancers and two male patrons were charged and sentenced for a variety of drug charges — most of which were rea-sonably minor. Three people — all female dancers — in the club were arrested during the raid

Drew has said that during the raid, law enforce-ment did as much damage as it could to his building, including breaking down doors that were unlocked, ripping out the video security system, and break-ing open freezers and refrigerators when they were offered keys to the locks by on-site employees.

The business closed and Drew — as holder of the liquor license — faced a number of civil penalties through the N.H. Liquor Bureau — including one of

allowing his property to be used for unlawful activi-ties for which he was exonerated.

After a three-day hearing in front of the N.H. Liquor Commission, he was found responsible for once serving an intoxicated patron, for once serving an employee while she was working, and for once giving away a free drink. He was fined $350 and ordered not to operate for three days.

Although he has opened sporadically since the October raid, in his opinion, selectmen have thrown up numerous roadblocks as he has tried to get his business back on its feet again.

Drew said yesterday that now that he and Lyons have their full licenses, they will be developing menus and a business plan. They had previously told selectmen they were looking at a “soft-opening” so they can work out the kinks and be fully opera-tional by spring and summer.

to enrolled in Medicaid managed care plans to purchase health insurance from private carriers through the exchange established by the Affordable Care Act. Both acknowledged that the plan would require waivers from federal regulations. However, the Republicans insisted that the transition from Medicaid managed care to private health insurance begin in 2015 while Governor Maggie Hassan and the Democrats favored delaying the transition until the federal waivers and funding are in place and the exchange, which counts but one insurance company, becomes more competitive.

Republicans are concerned that the longer the transition from Medicaid managed care to the health insurance exchange is delayed, the greater the risk the state will be exposed to the cost of a growing Medicaid program.

Noting that others states, notably Arkansas and Iowa, have been granted waivers similar to those sought by New Hampshire, Forrester doubted warn-ings from the Insurance Department and Health and Human Services Department that the process could take one or two years. “We have to get these waivers and the departments must get it done,” she said. She said that with some adjustments to their

programming the Medicaid managed care providers could qualify to offer health insurance plans on the exchange.

Acknowledging the fiscal risk to the state, Hosmer agreed on the need for benchmarks and timelines as well as “performances matrices and cost efficiencies to ensure that funds are well spent.” At the same time, he stressed that the importance of “allowing ample time for more insurers to enter the market.” Likewise, he said that Arkansas and Iowa spent nearly two years designing their programs and drafting waiver requests while New Hampshire has just begun the process. Nevertheless, he described the differences between the parties as “minor issues” that he is confident can be overcome.

While some have charged that the Senate Repub-lican leadership has sought to scuttle the expansion of Medicaid from the outset, Hosmer said “there are cores on both sides of the aisle who want this to happen and are willing to keep working. It’s too big an issue that affects too many people. Failure cannot be an option.”

Forrester said that “right after the session adjourned we began talking about how we could this done,” indi-cating that the conversation included senators from both parties. “I think people want to get this done,” she continued, “for the people who the health care.” She pointed out that shortly after the Senate reached stalemate, the Josiah Bartlett Center, a conservative think tank, honored Chuck Morse, the Republican senate president from Salem, who told his conserva-tive audience that he believed agreement was within reach and he intended to pursue it.

more than two decades and she estimates she’ll be able to complete the entire process in about 12 hours, completed just in time for Sunday morning, when the driveway at the end of a long dirt road on the back side of this rural town will be filled with customers queued up to acquire the crown jewel of their holiday feast. The customers, most of whom have done business with Labrecque for years, will happily pay $4 per pound for their turkey, which will fall somewhere in the range of 12 to 30 pounds.

Despite the welcome influx of revenue Labrecque will realize on Sunday — after all, many of the birds will fetch more than $100, and she has 200 of them to sell — she said raising the flock is more about a way of life than it is a means to profit. “You don’t make what people think you should make,” she insisted. The price of grain is her main opponent when it comes to turning a profit. Her flock con-sumes up to 300 pounds of feed per day, and while she remembers paying $16 per 100-pounds of grain not too long ago, the diversion of the country’s corn crop to ethanol production has doubled the price of feed grain.

The turkeys have been at Hermit Brook Farm since July, when Labrecque purchased them as poults. There were years during the previous decade that she ordered as many as 700 poults to raise on her farm, many of which would be purchased by companies to give as holiday gifts to employ-ees. Those orders dried up with the recession, and although the corporate customers haven’t returned, she’s seen demand start to pick up again as more and more consumers are interested in eating food produced by a person they know and by practices they find appealing.

During most of the growing season, when the bears are busy with berries, Labrecque’s turkeys are free

to roam through her fields. Because she’s meticulous about keeping their environment clean, she doesn’t need to add antibiotics to their feed. As a result, her customers regularly tell her that the turkeys are the best they’ve ever tasted, even though the breed she raises — broad-breasted white — isn’t genetically dif-ferent from the turkeys available at any supermar-ket. All but a few of her turkeys this year are already reserved by customers — call 286-4121 to see if there are any still available — and she said she plans to increase the size of her flock next year.

Labrecque has been farming on Plummer Hill Road for 21 years, though she’s only the most recent farmer to raise food on that land — the farmhouse she’s living in was built in 1788, and many of its prior residents are buried in a plot that overlooks her pas-ture. She was born and raised in Salem, Mass., in a more suburban environment though at the end of a dead-end street where her family had chickens and horses. “I always wanted to grow my own food,” she said. Agriculture started as a self-sustaining ven-ture for her, though it quickly spiraled into a com-mercial affair when friends and family kept asking if they could buy the fruits of her labors. She plans to keep it up, even though the rising price of grain has dramatically reduced her profitability. “I like farm-ing and I’ve never really been motivated by money.”

Come Thanksgiving, hundreds of families will be sitting down to a meal made possible by Hermit Brook Farm. Her customers find various ways to prepare the bird. Some fry them, most roast them, a few swear by cooking them breast-side down. Lately, brining seems to be spreading among home chefs like a new religion, said Labrecque. She doesn’t get too fussy, though. “I just stick it in my woodstove,” she said. Not too long after her dinner, her phone starts ringing again. It’ll be her customers, prais-ing her for providing the best bird their guests have ever eaten, and many will ask to reserve a bird for next Thanksgiving.

Latvia in order to save money,” Ameriks told Lat-vian television.

An enormous crater-like hole gaped in the super-market’s roof, while building materials were still stacked on the remaining sections.

It was the largest tragedy for the Baltic state since it regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Latvia’s government declared three days of mourning starting Saturday.

At least 35 people were injured, 28 of them hospital-ized, including 10 firefighters struck just as they entered the unstable building, emergency medical officials said.

The store was filled with shoppers when an enor-mous section of the roof caved in. Two hours later, while rescue workers searched for survivors, a second and larger section of roof caved in, trapping and killing firefighters.

Nina Kameneva, a retiree who lives on the sev-

enth floor of an apartment building overlooking the supermarket, said she and her husband were in the kitchen when the first collapse occurred at approxi-mately 4:45 p.m. on Thursday — producing a jolt so powerful it shook their building.

Santa Claus will be visiting Kellerhaus on Friday, November 29 from 2-4 p.m. (Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — Santa Claus is coming to Kellerhaus on Friday, November 29 from 2-4 p.m. and children are invited to stop by for cookies and milk and to have their picture taken with him.

With over 115 deliciously different candies made

onsite daily Kellerhaus is the perfect place to design a child’s visit with Santa. Cameras are welcome and there will be handmade chocolate samples to enjoy. After visiting Santa, (and enjoying cookies) families can head to the Toy room for a free personalized ornament from Santa and also receive a Glimmer Tatoo from Santa’s Elves.

Visitors can enter to win a $50 Kellerhaus Gift Certificate, a free Children’s book about Kellerhaus (and other famous places in the Lake’s Region ) or many other prizes at the free Elf Raffle Station.

While in the candy shop guests can see how Snow-man Non-Pareils, Chocolate Covered Cherries, Chocolate Trees or Santas are made first hand.

Using a Ribbon Candy crimper that was manufac-tured in 1886, Kellerhaus still makes fresh ribbon candy and old-fashioned candy canes using the same candy making techniques, recipes and equip-ment that Otto G. Keller used in 1906. One of the few candy shops in New Hampshire making ribbon candy and candy canes by hand, Kellerhaus is cel-ebrating 107 years of candy making in the Lake’s Region.

There will also be Open Haus weekends from

Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve with free samples, free spiced cider and candy making demos from 1-3 p.m. on Saturdays.

GILFORD — Tioga River Water Company is offering its customers located in the Gilford Village Water District and the Tioga River Water Company service area free WaterSense labeled showerheads as a way to save resources by showering better.

By replacing a showerhead with a WaterSense labeled model, the average family can reduce its annual energy and water costs by more than $70 and save 2,900 gallons of water per year—the amount of water it takes to wash more than 70 loads of loads of laundry and save the energy it takes to power a home for 13 days.

‘’We all have a vested interest in saving water. Using less water helps to ensure enough water for the future and can delay the need to develop new sources a water,’’ said Norman Harris, III, water system operator.

Horse-drawn wagon rides with Heritage Farms, shown here, will once again be part of the events scheduled for the 2013 Country Candlelight Stroll in Gilford Village. The stroll will be held on Saturday, December 14 from 5–7 p.m. (Courtesy photo)

GILFORD – Over 1,000 lit candles will line Belknap Mountain Road in Gilford Village as guests are welcomed to the festivities scheduled for this year’s Candlelight Stroll, which will be held in Gilford Village on Decem-ber 14 from 5–7 p.m. The event is open to the public and all activities are free. The inclement weather date is Satur-day, December 21, from 5-7 p.m.

Planning for this year’s event imme-diately began after last year’s highly successful stroll, which was part of Gilford’s bicentennial celebration in 2012. After the bicentennial drew to a close, many residents hoped that the stroll would become an annual event. Consequently, a formal Candlelight Stroll committee was formed in Janu-

Gilford Village’s Candelight Stroll is planned for December 14

ary of this year. Members immedi-ately began seeking sponsors for the event and were successful in finding numerous real estate agents, local businesses, and town departments that were willing to donate.

The committee picked a country theme for the event to honor the town’s history of farming. In keep-ing with the theme, the committee decided to dedicate the 2013 stroll to Pete LaBonte and Ben Weeks. Both were long-time town employees and both men passed away earlier this year. Pete and Ben grew up during the town’s farming era and remained dedicated to keeping the memory of it alive.

GILFORD — Local Nordic competitors represent-ing both Gunstock Nordic Association and Gilford Middle and High Schools have begun the 2013/14 season in earnest, training six days per week with head coach, and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Nina Gavrylyuk.

The GNA and Gilford teams are also proud to announce the addition of Kale Poland to the coach-ing staff. Kale grew up in Maine as a competitive Nordic skier, and most recently has become one of fewer than ten Americans to complete a decatriath-lon; an Ironman competition times ten. That’s a 240 mile swim, 1,120 mile bike ride and a 262 mile run.

While GNA offers programs for all ages, the pres-ent combination of dry-land and gymnasium train-ing is geared toward school competitors, most of whom ski for Gilford. Practices for the Gilford school teams will begin on November 25, with new team members being accepted into early December.

For this coming season Gilford’s Mark Young and twins Sander and Seth Valpey, who along with Cal Schrupp and Josh Valentine won two consecutive middle school state championships, will join high school skiers Matthew Young and Ryan Lafrance to make the Gilford boys team a strong contender for the state high school title.

Gilford’s Sophie Czerwinski and Gilmanton’s Maggie Fillion will be joined this year by Gilford athletes Laura and Becky Zakorchemny and Sophie Sherkanowski, raising similar expectations for the girls team.

Another Nordic discipline, ski jumping, has begun once again to gain traction through GNA and as work continues on the Gunstock jumps, new recruits will be introduced to the sport by former world record holder Mike Holden, who jumped 610 ft. at an event held in Planica, Slovenia in 1985.

On January 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Holden will bring the U.S. Ski Team roller jump to the Gilford Youth Center. The roller jump simulates the ski jump-ing experience by having participants coast down an aluminum ramp on a small sled and launch them-selves into a padded landing area. Kids participate for free, but are required to have prior skiing experience. This year jumping will be further integrated into the GNA Kids Program, which focuses as much on outdoor fun and games as it does on Nordic skiing.

For those who’ve considered joining GNA but are reluctant to invest in the equipment needed to give it a try, GNA is formalizing its equipment loan pro-gram this year. The club has amassed quite a bit of gear, suitable for nearly all sizes and ages, and this gear will be tuned and made available to mem-bers at no cost. The club is also seeking donations of equipment that will keep the inventory fresh.

Those interested in Nordic skiing or jumping (or running 262 miles with Kale), are encouraged to visit www.gunstocknordic.com for membership informa-tion and listings of events. Look also for events open to non-members, such as paintball biathlons, which will be added throughout the season.

Gilford Nordic skiers begin training for seasonGilford Community

Band rehearsals will be held on Tuesday Nov 26, Dec 3, 10, & 17 at the Gilford High School Performing Arts Center. This is in preparation for the “Christmas In The Village” Concert to be held on Sunday, December 22 at 3 p.m.The GCB consists of the full range of Brass, Woodwind and Percussion Instru-ments. Musicians of all ages from throughout the Lakes Region participate to produce what professionals and educators in New Hampshire have declared to be one of the finest community bands in the state.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

There were 96 residential home sales in Octo-ber in the 12 towns covered by this Lakes Region real estate report. The average sales price came in at $350,760 and the median price point was $209,250. Last October we posted 97 sales at a lower average of $287,919. We just had three straight months of hundred plus sales, so our yearly sales numbers should look pretty good if we finish out the year strong. This sure feels better than going in the other direction.

With Thanksgiving coming right up, I thought I would focus a little bit on the most important room of the house on that day; the kitchen. More precisely; the “gourmet kitchen.” Obviously, you need to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, unless you take the easy route and go to Hart’s Turkey Farm. That, however, could interrupt watching the football games which in my house is contrary to the true meaning of Thanksgiving. I have a long standing tradition established in my early child-hood of watching , what was then, Tom Landry’s Cowboys and the hapless Lions play their annual Thanksgiving Day games. Those were the days! The only things that have changed are there are three games to watch now and the Cowboys are almost always the hapless ones.

Anyway, if you are going to cook a turkey, you

should have a gour-met kitchen to cook it in unless you’ve got one of those outdoor deep fryers that will turn the whole thing into one big chicken nugget in seconds flat. But what is a gour-met kitchen exactly? Well, no one seems to know exactly, but real estate agents use the term a lot. According to the Urban Dictionary, a gourmet kitchen is “an abstract term used by realtors to add appeal to listings. Theoretically, it refers to a higher-end kitchen, but it has become used so loosely, that there are no clear defining factors that separate a ‘gourmet kitchen’ from a ‘kitchen.’”

While there may be no exact definition of a “gour-met” kitchen, you can usually tell when you are in one. High end appliances such as Viking, Subzero, Wolf, and Bosch are a must. Six burner gas stoves, double ovens, convection ovens, warming drawers, pizza ovens, wine refrigerators, high end cabine-try, granite or other high end countertops, plenty of work space, center islands, and pantries are all key components fancy food loving buyers look for.

Now some people say realtors use the term “gourmet kitchen” too much so. So, I thought I’d take a look to see how many great gourmet kitch-ens are available right now on the MLS. Much to

A LANDMARK FOR GREAT FOOD, FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT!

my surprise, of the 911 current listings in Belknap County, there were only a measly 14 kitchens that were touted as “gourmet” when I search for that term! Shocking, to say the least. Surely there are more than that; after all, we do get the cable cooking shows here. Where are Rachael Ray, Gordon Ramsey and Emeril when you need them?

You apparently don’t have to spend a fortune to get a gourmet kitchen in a house. I found one in a $239,000 house in Meredith, but it might be a little suspect as there were no pictures of the kitchen on the MLS. Maybe the chef there was a guy named Boyardee?

Other gourmet kitchens were found at 28 Boul-der Drive in Belmont (listed at $399,900), 62 Secord Road in Gilmanton ($495,000), 65 Cotton Hill Road in Belmont ($595,000), and a real nice one at 90 Minge Cove in Alton ($1.795 million.) There are hundreds of homes out there with absolutely stunning kitch-ens, but searching for them by using “gourmet” as a search term won’t bring up all of them. Check with your realtor to fi nd out which homes have that truly special kitchen you’ve been looking for. Undoubtedly, he knows several great examples of designer kitch-ens because he’s been to open houses where he has chowed down in one or two of them... It’s a rough job, but that’s what we have to do! Bon Appétit ...

Notice The Town of Sanbornton

Bridge Closure

The Town will be closing Lower Bay Road from the Black Brook Road intersection to Huse Road from approximately December 2, 2013 through December 9, 2013 to replace the deck on the bridge and place new guardrails. There may be delays from November 22, 2013 through December 13, 2013 while the bridge is being repaired. The Town regrets any inconvenience that residents may incur during this time of repairs and will keep the bridge closed for as little time as possible.

CENTER HARBOR — The Lakes Region Conservation Trust, working in partner-ship with the Town of Center Harbor, has the opportunity to con-serve a 192-acre eco-logically significant parcel — and its eco-logical, wildlife habitat, scenic, water quality, and recreational values — in perpetuity, and is asking for help from the public.

The total necessary to conserve the parcel is $211,500, which includes funds for the acquisition as well as transaction fees, survey costs and money to be set aside for steward-ship.

LRCT is very close to raising all the funds

Lakes Region Conservation Trust very close to goal to secure 192-acre parcel in Center Harbor

needed by the December 2 deadline to complete the project. People from the community and throughout the Lakes Region, the Town of Center Harbor, and the Aquatic Resources Mitigation Fund of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services have already contributed generously toward this conservation effort. With just a week to go, we need your support to successfully complete fundraising for this key property.

The property is located within Center Harbor’s largest undeveloped forest and wildlife habitat block, north of Lake Waukewan, east of Lake Winona, and south of Hawkins Pond. This property is part of one of the highest priority areas for conservation based on ecological characteristics in Center Harbor, as identi-fied in the Natural Resources Inventory completed by ecologist Dr. Rick Van de Poll for the town in 2011.

The Fogg Hill property encompasses important natural resources, including the town’s only kettle hole bog and significant surrounding wetlands. This area, known as the Fogg Hill Bog Wetland Complex, was designated as a prime wetland by the Town of Center Harbor earlier this year. The land also con-tains old growth forest and valuable wildlife habitat.

The property also includes one of the highest eleva-tions in town, providing views to the Sandwich Range.

It is an important element of the scenic landscape of the area, visible from vantage points in Center Harbor, Meredith, Ashland, and New Hampton.

The Fogg Hill property contributes to water qual-ity protection in the surrounding watershed and its water bodies, including Hawkins Pond, the Snake River, Winona Lake, and Lake Waukewan, which serves as the Town of Meredith’s water supply.

The forest cover on parcels such as the Fogg Hill property plays a critical role in maintaining the quality of this water supply.

The Fogg Hill property is also an important rec-reational and educational resource for the commu-nity and the region. Once conserved, the land will be open to the public for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, with the potential for trails to be established around the wetlands and to the summit of Fogg Hill for enjoyment by all. In addi-tion, the property affords extensive opportunities for nature education and scientific research.

Each and every donation will help us successfully com-plete this project by the December 2 deadline. Donations may be made online (www.lrct.org), by phone (603-253-3301), by mail (LRCT, PO Box 766, Center Harbor, NH, 03226), or in person at LRCT’s headquarters at 156 Dane Road (Route 25B) in Center Harbor.

Yesterday’s Answer

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 thru 9.

Solution and tips at www.sudoku.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The person you think about is thinking about you. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you both had the same idea about what should happen next? This is not so far out of line and could actually happen. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t make it too easy on your loved ones. There’s a time to be agreeable, but if you’re agreeable all of the time, you’re either lying or apathetic. Take a stand, weave some mischief, or just say no. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Forcing yourself to participate in a program you don’t enjoy is futile. You won’t get to the end of it, so what’s the point? Your time is better spent looking for a program you really will enjoy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you just want to tell your overly dramatic, angsty, earnest loved ones to relax. Life is not that serious. Then again, life is serious for someone you know who is going through trying times, and there’s something you can do to help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People tend to glorify the hustle, but you’re not so sure. You’re willing to sweat and toil when that’s needed, but you’re also opening your mind to the idea that there could be a smarter way to get it done. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those who obsess, plot and stress are making them-selves less attractive. You, on the other hand, will be perfecting the very appealing art of breeziness. Yes, it’s an illusion, but an effec-tive one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re a loving person, but how are you supposed to be unconditionally happy with your loved ones when the things they do get on your nerves? You’ll answer this question with your clever response to the day’s events. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some of your friends don’t self-manage quite as well as you do, which is why you’ll end up with interrupted or dashed plans. However, the new outcome could be even better than the original plan if you roll with it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t want to be too picky, but you have

many choices for company this weekend. Your judgment will be infl uenced by how much you like a person’s friends or trust a person’s recommendations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t always answer your phone, and you don’t feel obligated to call people without a good reason. Still, there’s a benefi t to reach-ing out and being more available this week-end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because a person doesn’t understand what he or she is agreeing to doesn’t mean the agreement, if reached, should be null and void. Good character means keeping the agreement anyway. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone wants to befriend the person living a charmed existence, but this person won’t know who his true friends are until he lands on harder times. You’ll now get the chance to prove your friendship to someone. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 23). You become increasingly self-suffi cient even though there are many who want to help you. You have a competitive nature and will do well in athletics and games of skill. Profes-sional changes in January will help you fi nd the right path in your personal life, too. See more of the world in April and September. Capricorn and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 31, 42, 11 and 16.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Elmarie Wendel is 81. Actor Franco Nero is 72. Actress Susan Anspach is 71. Screenwriter Joe Eszterhas is 69. Actor-comedy writer Bruce Vilanch is 66. Singer Bruce Hornsby is 59. Actor Maxwell Caulfi eld is 54. Actor John Henton is 53. TV personality Robin Roberts is 53. Rock singer-musician Ken Block (Sister Hazel) is 47.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I want to thank you for printing the essay “Dead at Seven,” by Paul O. Ketro, M.D., about the dangers posed by senior drivers who don’t know when to give up their licenses. For more than a year, I have been trying to tell my mother that it isn’t safe for her to drive any longer, and for the most part, I’ve kept her out of the car. She often states that she is going to drive herself, but when she read that essay, she said to me, “I guess I’m not going to drive my car anymore.” You two are a blessing, and I’m convinced you’ve saved a life. -- S. Dear S.: Thank you, but not everyone thinks we’re such a blessing. Many older drivers were upset about this es-say, claiming young drivers cause more accidents. True. But young drivers generally improve their driving skills over time, whereas older drivers can develop problems with re-fl exes, cognition and vision. While most senior drivers tend to be more cautious because of this, some refuse to recognize or deal with incipient problems. And regular testing to renew one’s license varies from state to state. The point of the essay is to help drivers over 65 be more aware of changes in their driving skills and be willing to address them. Read on for more: From Salem, Mass.: Capability, not age, should be the topic. I am 93, in good health with fast responses, and I’m a defen-sive driver. I drive below the speed limit in the right lane, away from the lane-changers and speeders. I also drive with my right foot on the accelerator and my left foot on the brake to eliminate hitting the gas by mistake and plowing into peo-ple or buildings. Florida: What I got out of “Dead at Seven” is that parents

should teach their kids not to run into the street after a ball or anything else, that kids should be taught to stop on the curb and look both ways to see whether it is safe to cross or go into the street after a ball. Maryland: I have to take issue with the good doctor de-scribing senior drivers as a “growing danger” on the road. That’s pure emotional hogwash. As a senior driver, I am far more careful than I was 60 years ago. I am far wiser, as well, and more aware of every danger on the street. Yes, my reac-tion time may be a bit diminished, but that’s why I no longer use the fast lanes. If a child were to run into the street, he and his parents had better hope and pray that the car that hits him belongs to a watchful, slower-moving senior and not to my 30-year old son who can’t take his foot off the gas. Iowa: That article got me thinking about one of the golfers in my league who is nearly blind. We have to watch where he hits the ball. After leaving the course, we saw him doing 45 when the speed limit was 70. When he went to renew his license, he fl unked the vision test and then told us that he was thinking of driving without a license. In my state, one must take a driver’s test every two years after the age of 70. I am now 78 and spend six months a year in Florida where drivers only need to renew every six years. Some older people don’t realize they have a problem. Florida: I am fuming about this essay. He did not mention the thousands who are killed by pot-smoking, texting, day-dreaming and drunk adults of all ages. I am 90 years old and have been driving for 65 years. Take my driving away from me, and they may as well wrap me up completely. I will know when I am endangering myself and others.
