LACONIA — There are 16 Laconia teen-agers currently being served by the Appa-lachian Mountain Teen Project, more than from any other community which the Wolfeboro-based non-profit serves. Yet, for several years, the city has declined to con-tribute so much as a penny of public fund-ing to the program, which mentors at-risk youth. The director of the program said this week he isn’t sure how much longer he could operate in Laconia without endangering the sustainability.

“There may be a time in the very near future when we may no longer be able to serve Laconia,” said Dave Lynch, execu-tive director of the program. “We want to stay in Laconia but we need to pay for it.”

LACONIA — Work on the rotary at the intersection of Weirs Boulevard (Rte. 3) with Routes 11-A and 11-B , which for sometime has been known as “dysfunction junction,” resumed after Labor Day and has proceeded more quickly than anticipated.

City Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1), whose ward includes the portion of The Weirs north of the Weirs Channel Bridge, told the City Council this week that with the gran-

Councilor wants new Weirs rotary named for Captain Blackstoneite curbing in place both the rotary and its approaches are taking shape.

Looking forward to the completion of the project next spring, Doyle said it was time to consign “dysfunction junction” to the dustbin of history and rechristen what will become a feature of The Weirs. She sug-gested “Blackstone Rotary,” after the family headed by Captain Herbert A. Blackstone.

Born in Maine in 1858, Blackstone was the son of shipbuilder, who moved to Boston where Herbert and his brother Wil-

liam learned the trade. In 1881 Blackstone arrived in Meredith with a commission to build a steamboat, the “Belle of the Wave,” the first of a string of vessels, including the “Eagle”, “Lamprey” and and the “Cyclone.” Later he captained the “Maid of the Isle” and side-wheeler “Mount Washington” earning a reputation as the ablest naviga-tor on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Blackstone raised three sons with his first wife, Malvina, while his second wife

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon demanded inter-national action to stop the war in Syria, telling a somber gathering of world leaders Tuesday that the 18-month conflict had become “a regional calamity with global ramifications.”

In sharp contrast to the U.N. chief, Pres-ident Barack Obama pledged U.S. sup-port for Syrians trying to oust President Bashar Assad — “a dictator who massa-cres his own people.”

BOSTON (AP) — A chemist whose alleged mishandling of drug samples has thrown thousands of criminal cases into question testified under oath that she holds a master’s degree in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts, but school officials say they have no record of her receiving an advanced degree or taking graduate courses there.

Defense attorneys say that if Annie Dookhan lied about receiving a master’s degree, it causes even more credibility problems for her work at the lab.

“If, in fact, she falsified her education or qualifications, we are even more deeply concerned about what she might have done in terms of testing the drugs,” said Anne Goldbach, forensics services director for the Committee for Public Counsel Ser-vices, the state’s public defender agency.

State police say Dookhan tested more than 60,000 drug samples submitted in the

BUNNELL, Fla. (AP) — A man was intoxi-cated while riding his horse as he led police on a half-hour chase through a northeast Florida town, authori-ties said Tuesday.

Charles Larkin Cowart, 29, was arrested Monday after-noon in the city of Bun-nell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville.

A police officer was responding to a report of “an intoxicated male riding a horse” when he turned on his emer-gency lights to stop traf-fic as Cowart crossed the street, according to the charging affidavit. Cowart said he was on his way to his grand-mother’s house in nearby Flagler Beach, but refused officers’ order to dismount and “in an aggressive manner reared the horse back” and took off running.

Officers did not imme-diately chase after him, the report said, citing the public and the horse’s safety. Cowart continued to ride through town, “caus-ing a crowd of people to

UN chief demands global action to end civil war in SyriaOpening the U.N. General Assembly’s

annual ministerial meeting, Ban said in his state of the world speech that he was sounding the alarm about widespread insecurity, inequality and intolerance in many countries.

Putting the spotlight on Syria, the U.N. chief said “the international community should not look the other way as violence spirals out of control.”

“We must stop the violence and flows of arms to both sides, and set in motion a

Syrian-led transition as soon as possible,” he said.

While Obama didn’t call for an end to the violence, he made no mention of arming the opposition and stressed the importance of ensuring “that what began with citizens demanding their rights does not end in a cycle of sectarian violence.”

“Together, we must stand with those Syrians who believe in a different vision — a Syria that is united and inclusive, where

Chemist’s education questioned in wake of Mass. drug lab scandalcases of about 34,000 defendants during her nine years at the lab. She resigned in March amid an internal investigation by the Department of Public Health. After state police took over the lab in July as part of a state budget directive, they said they discovered her violations were much more extensive than previously believed and went beyond sloppiness into “malfea-sance” and “deliberate mishandling” of drug samples.

Dookhan has not responded to repeated requests for comments from The Associated Press. No one appeared to be at her home in Franklin on Tuesday. Her husband and her father did not respond to requests for comment on her claim that she received a master’s degree.

Asked about her educational background when she testified under oath during the 2010 trial of Larry Blue, a Boston man charged with cocaine trafficking and

weapons offenses, Dookhan said she had a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and a master’s degree in chemistry, both from the University of Massachusetts.

DeWayne Lehman, a spokesman for UMass-Boston, confirmed that Dookhan received a bachelor of science in biochem-istry from the school in 2001 but said there is no record of her receiving a mas-ter’s degree in chemistry, as she listed on her resume and said in sworn testimony, according to a transcript.

“We have no record of her doing sub-sequent graduate work at our campus,” Lehman said.

The registrar’s office at UMass-Boston also said it had no record of her receiving a master’s degree, as did officials at UMass campuses in Lowell, North Dartmouth and Amherst. The Worcester campus does not offer a master’s degree program in chem-istry.

MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes School Board, looking to head off another long and contentious dispute over the time and place of the Inter-Lakes High School graduation, reached a consensus Tues-day night in support of a proposed date of Saturday, June 22 for the graduation of the Class of 2013.

This year’s graduation, held at Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion in Gilford during Laconia Bike Week, was the subject of intense debate and criti-cism over a period of several months and the board gave a strong indication that it wants a decision made soon.

‘’We’re very pleased that you’re ahead of the game,’’ School Board Chairman Richard Hanson told Patti Kennelly, Inter-Lakes High School principal after she recommended the June 22 date, most likely at 10 a.m. at Meadowbrook.

‘’A Saturday morning date gives us the most flex-ibility with sites, as Meadowbrook will not commit to an evening date until after April 1st. In addition, scheduling graduation early will allow families to plan for the event well in advance, ‘’ Kennelly wrote in her memo to Superintendent of Schools Mary Ellen Ormond.

Kennelly pointed out that Laconia Bike Week, which celebrates its 90th anniversary next year, will

I-L board hopes to cut controversy off at the pass by setting graduation date earlybe held June 8-16 and that while it was possible that graduation could be held during the first weekend of Bike Week that there would still be issues of traffic congestion and scarcity of lodging.

She also pointed out that Meadowbrook’s rental fee of $3,000 is relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of renting a tent, $4,980 for an 80x70 or $6,540 for an 80x100, if the graduation were held at Inter-Lakes High School or the Sandwich Fair-grounds.

Some families involved with the graduation of the Class of 2012 wanted graduation to be held in one of the three townships that make up the school dis-trict, not in a neighboring town.

Following her presentation the board took up other matters but returned to the issue again at the end of the meeting. Board member Howard Cunningham asked Kennelly if she would prefer that the board take a formal vote or whether an expression of con-sensus on the board’s part was sufficient.

Carol Baggely said that she didn’t want to set things in stone yet, saying ‘’I think it’s about the stu-dents, not us’’ and urged more time before making a decision.

Board member Jack Carty moved to bring Ken-nelly’s recommendation to a vote but later withdrew his motion after Hanson suggested that a general consensus would be sufficient at this time.

‘’At some point we have to have to come up with something that’s definite and not drag it out. The earlier we can reach a date and get it out, the better it will be.’’ said Carty.

NOTES: One case of pertussis, better known as whooping cough, has been reported in the school district this year. Superintendent Ormond said that a small group of students associated with the case have been taking medication to prevent infection. . . . . . John Hansen, principal of the Sandwich Ele-mentary School, said that in recent years seven of the eight students in the district who had developed pertussis had been previously vaccinated but the immunity wears off after several years and booster shots are needed. . . . . . . Karen Sticht questioned the board’s procedure in establishing a teacher evalu-ation committee composed of administrators, board members and members of the Inter-Lakes Educa-tion Association without including all of the school principals. She said it was an ‘’awkward precedent’’ and said that ‘’principals should have a voice at the table.’’. . . . . .The evaluation committee members are Jack Carty and Richard Hanson of the school board, Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond, ILHS Principal Patti Kennelly and Dr. Steven Kelley, PK-4 principal. ILEA members are Jeremy Hillger, Chuck Yeager, Demi Daly, Stephanie Howard, and Mary Nyhan.

LACONIA — The ex-wife of Republican District 7 State Senate candidate Josh Youssef disputed claims that her ex-husband ever sent her more money than is required by the court.

Bethany Youssef issued her press release on Sat-urday in response to a so-called “robo-call” received by many local voters and paid for by a political action committee formed to support current Sen. Jim Forsythe.

“There has never been a single instance when

Josh has ever sent me a child support payment with even a penny more that he was ordered to pay by the court, and he is often late in paying,” Bethany Youssef said through her attorney Ed Mosca.

Responding to her claim yesterday, Josh Youssef said he never said he “sent” her additional money but said he often “spends” more money on his son that what he is required.

“He is my only child,” Youssef said.According to Charles Mitchell of Tilton, a com-

munity in Senate District 2 not District 7, the call he received was framed like a survey and began by asking if he was a registered Democrat, Republican or Undeclared. Mitchell said he selected Democrat and the robo-call launched into a long explanation of Youssef’s current child-support battle with this ex-wife. In the end, Mitchell said the robo-call ask if, hearing this, he was more inclined to vote for Youssef. Mitchell said he ended the phone call.

LACONIA — After a two-day bench trial in 2008, a Belknap County Supe-rior Court Judge determined Republi-can State Senate (District 7) candidate Josh Youssef defamed a Franklin real-tor and awarded him $72,500 in dam-ages.

Judge Harold Perkins said Youssef, in his capacity as owner of Same Day Computer, Inc., defamed Douglas Embree of Century 21-Twin Rivers Realty when he offered Embree’s Website domain name for sale and then posted an online message that told browsers the domain name www.NHREAL.com had “been suspended due to non-payment.”

Perkins ruled that “(Youssef) strongly implied (Embree’s) business was in financial distress and or that he was a ‘deadbeat’” and awarded him $52,500 in damages.

Embree was also awarded $5,000 for a breach of agency claim and $15,000 for breach of contract. Embree’s claim of Youssef’s intentional interference with business relations was disal-lowed as was his claim that Youssef intentionally violated the Consumer Protection Act.

Youssef’s counterclaim for $4,200 in outstanding bills he said he was owed also failed.

Youssef is currently the target of an Internet-related complaint filed with the N.H. Attorney General’s Office in which Manchester attorney Ed Mosca alleges the Laconia man created a Website at edmoscablog.com that was superficially a dead-ringer for his own site at edmosca.com — except that the content of the fake site was comprised of material complimentary of Youssef and his campaign for the State Senate.

Mosca is the attorneyfor Youseff ’s former wife, who is asking a Laco-nia court to order the candidate to significantly increase the amount of child support he pays in support of his 9-year-old son. Since Youssef declared his candidacy, Mosca has used his online blog to try and build a case that Youssef is unfit for public office.

Youssef has not denied building the fake Mosca Website, saying only that it included a disclaimer that edmosca-blog.com was in no way actually related to Ed Mosca.

When reached by telephone yester-day, realtor Embree said he had hired Same Day Computer back in 2003 pri-marily to develop a “buyer tracking” software program and had paid the company a total of $39,000 when the two began having difficulties in their professional relationship.

He said the programming he requested was “very difficult” and by the time of the above described incident, he had hired someone else to do the work leaving about $4,200 in disputed bills from Same Day Computers.

Embree said he asked Youssef for a

detailed explanation of the outstand-ing balance but he didn’t get one so he didn’t pay. He said when stopped paying Youssef, a notice that the domain name was for sale appeared when someone tried to log onto the Website.

The complaint said the www.NHREAL.com belonged to Embree and, though Youssef registered it through a web hosting company on his behalf, Youssef had no right to sell it.

As the financial dispute continued, the complaint said the domain name remained for sale for 12 days and that on January 29, 2007 “(Youssef) published the statement that the domain name was suspended for lack of payment. On February 5, 2007, the defamatory statement came down.

Embree said yesterday that he felt the defamatory statement was posted because he asked Youssef for an itemized bill for the outstanding balance and Youssef either couldn’t or wouldn’t provide it.

By means of explanation, Youssef said yesterday he subcontracts domain-name management to much larger companies who have the “seri-ous investment in infrastructure” a smaller company like his doesn’t have.

“Large Web-hosting companies are engine processors of domain names,” he said, adding they are like credit card processing companies are to credit card companies.

At the time, Youssef said he was subcontracting to a Web-hosting com-pany that is no longer in business and was using a template created by them for certain circumstances as they hap-pened.

In Embree’s case, he said the non-payment generated by the contract dispute caused the domain name to go up for sale and then triggered the defamatory statements.

“If I had known what the mes-sage was going to read, I would have stopped it,” Youssef said yesterday.

He said he took it down when he got a call from Twin Rivers office, although the court paperwork says the state-ment disappeared after Embree’s law-yers sent Youssef a letter.

Youssef also said yesterday that he was unaware at the time that some-thing like the defamatory statement could happen. “That was my first trip around that block and I learned from it,” Youssef, now 36, said.

Youssef also said yesterday, and included in part of his testimony, that Embree had told him he couldn’t pay because he was having cash flow issues. Embree said yesterday that wasn’t the case and had told Youssef that he couldn’t write him a check for the entire balance that day, even if the work had been performed to his sat-isfaction.

“I had every intention of paying

him,”Embree said, adding that he just wanted an itemized bill.

Youssef also said yesterday and Embree agreed, that Youssef’s insurer was planning on appealing the decision and attorneys for both sides agreed on a $60,000 settlement.

Youssef said is is also the only time he has been sued in the course of his business and records in Belknap County Superior Court support that.

Both men also said yesterday that while they no longer have a business relationship, they are cordial to each other and have spoken during casual events. They are both members of the same gym.

“He is very friendly to me when I see him,” said Embree. “He doesn’t appear to hold any grudges.”

In the same statement, Bethany Youssef also said Josh Youssef sold his Same Day Computer franchise in Portsmouth to Robbie Fisher for $50,000 but never claimed it as income. She said Fisher claimed the $50,000 as a business expense on his federal tax return.

Fisher, who is a Democratic candidate for a seat in the state House of Representatives from Laconia, said yesterday that he reported the purchase price as a liability on his taxes however, has agreed to pay Same Day computer $1,000 a month for 50 months to satisfy the debt.

Youssef said his company reports the $1,000 monthly payment as income.

Fisher said the purchase price covers the right to use the name Same Day Computer, Inc. in Ports-mouth, an exclusive right to use the franchise name in the Portsmouth area, and the “good will” that comes along with the franchise name.

Fisher said he goes back and forth from Laconia to Portsmouth frequently and his brother is the man-ager of the Portsmouth franchise. He also has taken over paying the lease on the “bricks and mortar” office space at 369 Islington St.in Portsmouth.

Fisher also maintains his status as one of Youssef’s employees in Laconia and is the chief operations officer of what his business card refers to as the cor-porate office.

On Monday, Youssef verified the arrangement he struck with Fisher.

Bethany Youssef also asked the court to depose — or interview under oath — Fisher about the finan-cial arrangement the two reached.

“There is a deposition,” said Fisher on Monday, but he declined to elaborate.

Youssef’s financial records filed with the court as they pertain to his lengthy and often acrimonious child-support issue are sealed.

Concord Monitor reporter Annemarie Timmons has filed a request with the court to unseal those records, citing case law that says a candidate’s choice to enter the political arena lowers his or her expectations of privacy and go to the heart of what voters need to know before casting a vote for an elected official.

The court has asked Youssef’s lawyer give it a legal justification as to why he doesn’t want his per-sonal finances released and has set a hearing day of October 16.

On Monday, Timmons filed a motion to expedite the hearing saying the voting public is entitled to know his financial information before the November 6 election and that “the privacy secured by law (is) for those who elect not to place themselves in the public spotlight.”

Youssef also said Monday he wants it known that Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield knew, and had posted on his Facebook page, that there were people other than those named “Ken” who signed “sticky notes” in a mailer his campaign sent to Franklin voters when he made the contents of the mailer known in the days immediately preceding the election.

GOP leaders said they are satisfied with the answers Youssef posted on his Website regarding the mailing, however, Mosca has filed a formal com-plaint with the state office of the Attorney General.

Merrifield supported Youssef’s primary opponent William “Bill” Grimm. He contended the sticky notes were an attempt to make Franklin voters believe he supported Youssef.

GILFORD — Police said yesterday they have recovered the handgun stolen from a Abenaki Path man’s pickup September 16.

Det. Christopher Jacques said the investigation into the overnight thefts from at least six vehicles in the Lake Shore Road area of town continues but, with the handgun in their possession, they have recovered all of the weapons stolen that evening.

With the assistance of the Laconia Police and the owner of Martel’s Bait & Sport Shop, Gilford Police were able to recover a compound bow stolen from the same victim’s truck.

Gilford Police charged Brandon Heacox with one

Handgun stolen out of Gilford truck recoveredcount of felony receiving stolen property for the com-pound bow but Jacques said at this time no charges have been filed against anyone in regards to the handgun.

The victim had been hunting earlier Saturday and had the bow in his truck and the handgun in his center console. He recalled locking his truck with his remote key around 10:30 p.m. and noticed the theft the next morning.

Anyone with any information about this or any other crime in Gilford is asked to call Gilford Police at 527-4737.

come out of their homes” and a train to slow down as Cowart crossed over a set of railroad tracks. Police kept their emergency lights on, but did not use their sirens to prevent the horse from being frightened and “potentially making the situation worse.”

Cowart ignored several verbal commands to get off the horse, which after more half an hour, became exhausted. Cowart eventually jumped off and took off running. He was captured a short time later. The horse returned to Cowart’s family and is doing fine, police said.

Cowart was booked into the Flagler County Jail on charges that included disorderly conduct, resist-ing arrest without violence and cruelty to animals. He was being held Tuesday on $7,000 bond.

A message was left Tuesday at a phone listing for Cowart in Bunnell, about 60 miles south of Jack-sonville. It was not immediately known if he has an attorney.

Cowart was arrested for petit theft on Sept. 9 and on a DUI charge in October 2010. The disposition of those charges wasn’t immediately known.

LETTERSIt’s not Mass. drivers’ fault; it’s in the mutations of their genes

Pat Buchanan

America’s Last CrusadeFor Americans of the Greatest

Generation that fought World War II and of the Silent Generation that came of age in the 1950s, the great moral and ideological cause was the Cold War. It gave purpose and clar-ity to our politics and foreign policy, and our lives.

From the fall of Berlin in 1945 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, that Cold War was waged by two generations, and with its end Amer-icans faced a fundamental question: If the historic struggle between communism and freedom is over, if the Soviet Empire and Soviet Union no longer exist, if the Russians wish to befriend us and the Maoists have taken the capitalist road, what is our new mission in the world? What do we do now?

The debate was suspended when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. George H.W. Bush assembled a mighty coalition and won a war that required but 100 hours of ground combat.

We had found our mission.The United States was the last

superpower and a triumphant Bush declared that we would build the “New World Order.” Neoconserva-tives rhapsodized over America’s “unipolar moment” and coming “global hegemony.”

But Americans were unpersuaded and uninspired. They rejected the victor of Desert Storm — for Bill Clinton. By Y2K, the Republican Party was backing another Bush who was promising a “more humble” America.

Came then 9/11 and the midlife conversion of George W. to Wilso-nian interventionism. After the rout of the Taliban in December 2001, Bush decided to remake Afghani-stan in the image of Iowa and to go crusading against an axis of evil. In his second inaugural, he declared that America’s mission was to “end tyranny in our world.”

The world declined to oblige. By the end of 2006, the Taliban were back and America seemed in an endless war in Iraq. Republi-cans had lost Congress and Bush’s democracy crusade was producing electoral victories for Hamas and Hezbollah. In November 2008, the crusaders were sent packing.

Came then Barack Obama. With the “Arab Spring” beginning in 2010, with dictators being toppled in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Syria, Obama embraced the movement as his own. But Obama received a rude awakening. As the Arab dictators began, one by one, to fall, also unleashed and now surging and spreading through the lands they had ruled were the four horsemen of the Arab apoca-lypse: tribalism, ethno-nationalism, Islamic fundamentalism and anti-Americanism.

So we come to an elementary question: If the Islamic world is so suffused with rage and hatred of us

— for our wars, occupations, drone attacks, support of Israel, decadent culture, and tolerance of insults to Islam and the Prophet — why should we call for free elections, when the people will use those elections to vote into power rulers hostile to the United States? If the probable or inevitable result of dethroning dictator-allies is to raise to power Islamist enemies, why help dethrone the dictators?

During the Cold War, the United States took its friends where it found them. If they were willing to cast their lot with us, from the Shah to Gen. Pinochet, we welcomed them. Democratic dissidents like Jawahar-lal Nehru in India and Olof Palme in Sweden got the back of our hand.

During the Cold War and World War II, the critical question was not whether you came to power through free elections — after all, Adolf Hitler did that — but are you with us or against us? Ideology, as Russell Kirk admonished us, is political religion, and democracy worship is a form of idolatry, the worshiping of a false god, a golden calf, an idol. And — while this may border on a hate crime — some countries are unfit for democracy. As Edmund Burke remonstrated: “It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”

With hatred of America rampant across the Arab and Islamic world, we face anew a defining moment. What now is our mission in the world? What now should be the great goal of U.S. foreign policy?

What global objective should we pursue with our trillion-dollar defense, intel and foreign aid bud-gets, and pervasive diplomatic and military presence on every conti-nent and in most countries of the world? Bush I’s New World Order is history, given our strategic decline and the resistance of Russia, China and the Islamic world. Bush II’s democracy crusade and Obama’s embrace of the Arab Spring have unleashed and empowered forces less receptive to America’s wishes and will than the despots and dicta-tors deposed with our approval.

All three visions proved to be illusions. With America headed for bankruptcy, with new debt of $1 trillion piled up each year, perhaps John Quincy Adams’ counsel may commend itself to a country weary from a century of crusades.

“America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and inde-pendence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”

(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 editor,Can you see and hear the difference

on our roads? It’s like half the popula-tion has packed up and left the state — and quick too. Feels like just yester-day that one would have to hold the steering wheel a little tighter.

The Massachusetts drivers sure do manipulate their vehicles differently than we do. I know some of your get “ticked off” about that but, I simply say, “Its not their fault.”

My wife doesn’t agree with me and says I have an excuse for everything. Never-the-less, its all in the mutation and genetics. Ya’ don’t have to go back many generations to see why.

Back then, in and around Boston, the operators of house, buggy and wagon needed to hurry and night for space. There were too many of them. During the same time, a farm boy from New Hampshire might ride his horse a good days journey; perhaps to see a girl that made eyes at him at the county fair. The lad would be patient in getting there. Certainly he would pace his horse to ensue the animal would not get tired or worse yet, hurt.

Recently this summer my wife wanted to visit Salem, MA. So we packed up and headed there. I saw tons of people — the witches were nice. But when we left to head home, I got caught up in the late afternoon stampede, got lost and found myself heading north-east to Gloucester. My Interstate 93

seemed a very long way away.My concentration surely must have

been not unlike the long ago farm boy who perhaps rode all day only to find “the girl of his dreams” sitting on her fathers’ porch with another suitor. We both would have a long ride home.

There are lingering tourists as of right now, but they seem relaxed. I personally know many that have moved here and posses the “Live Free or Die” license plates. I call them implants. They have mutated. A couple of long winters here and before they know it, they are almost natives. They’ve taken root.

So, there you go! A simple explana-tion and the difference from one cul-ture to the next. And, when Columbus Day arrives soon and part of the main herd splits away down south and migrates to green pastures here, do not become anxious.

As you putt along doing the speed limit and the front of the ‘flock’ arrives in your rear view mirror — and I do mean close, keep strong. Save your-self; do not brake for that gray squir-rel! Slow down slowly. Then when several vehicles fly by on the double yellow line, hold steady. Simply extend a compassionate hand and yell, “It’s not your fault!”

Along with others here, my wife has a different variation of this. And of course... it’s not her fault.

Let’s return control to champions of environmental protectionTo the editor,

Russell Train died last week. For those who may have forgotten, or are too young to remember, Train, who lived to be 92, was one of the first administrators of the Environmental Protection Agency and helped formu-late much of the other legislation that we have relied upon for protection of the environment for the past 40 years. He was also a lifelong Republican.

How things have changed. Before adjourning last week for the rest of the election season the Republican controlled U.S. House of Representa-tives proposed a Stop the War on Coal Act that would weaken the clean air and water legislation that was passed, with Train’s help, during the Nixon administration. In our own state,

the Republican Legislature has tried repeatedly to maneuver New Hamp-shire’s withdrawal from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a mar-ket-based first step toward reducing global climate change.

Anyone who cares about the world we are leaving to our children and grandchildren should pay attention to developments in Washington and Con-cord and vote accordingly in Novem-ber. My own votes will be directed at returning control of the Congress and Legislature to the care of Democrats who champion the types of environ-mental protections once supported by both political parties.

LETTERSDems seem to forget Obama has been in offi ce for nearly 4 years Forrester has failed to stand up to the bullies in the LegislatureTo the editor,

Is it just me, or is everyone else get-ting tired of the clichés? Many of the letters to the editor in so many of our papers are perfect examples of what I am talking about.

Cliché number one: “Mitt Romney’s plan to go back to the failed policies of the past”. Which policies of the past are we talking about? Are we speaking of failed policies of Jimmy Carter which seem to be mirrored by the current president? Are we talk-ing about the failed foreign policies of Jimmy Carter which are being repli-cated by President Obama and have lit the entire Middle East on fi re? Our embassies are surrounded, burned to the ground, or closed. This hasn’t hap-pened since 1979. It is pretty eerie isn’t it?

Or maybe they are talking about the economic policies of high taxes, government intrusion in business, and heavy regulation that caused the economic crisis under Jimmy Carter? President Obama is mirror-ing those too. The price of gasoline has doubled since President Obama took offi ce. The consumer price index is up 9-percent unemployment has been over 8-percent for 44 months in a row and family incomes are down $4,000. Sound familiar? I seem to remember all this under President Carter also.

But wait, Mitt Romney is not advo-cating any of these things! The policies of the past he is advocating are more like those under Reagan. It would seem to me that those policies of the past are just what the country needs. He wants sensible regulations, lower taxes for everyone, and a smaller gov-ernment footprint. He embraces a business friendly government and no class warfare or demonizing the suc-cessful. He wants all people to be able to work instead of sitting idle.

Cliché number 2 is “An economy built from the middle out”. What exactly does that mean? And how does that work? It would be helpful to have that process described for me. It makes no sense whatsoever. Businesses are built by people. These people are small entrepreneurs who have an idea, take risks and work hard. These are the people most hurt by the ever increasing web of regula-

tions coming out from this adminis-tration. Big business loves regulation because it is anti-competitive. It is very hard for a small business person to deal with regulation because they do not have attorneys, accountants and HR people who can untangle what the government requires and comply with the regulations. Big busi-ness has those resources and knows that very few small new competi-tors can navigate the regulations to become a new competitor. Is that what is meant by and economy built from the middle out? Building it from the middle of all those regulations? We are making it too hard. Two hundred eight coal plants are currently closing down due to new regulatory require-ments. What is that going to do to your electricity bill? At the beginning of President Obama’s term, the USA was ranked number one in the world in competitiveness and economic free-dom. Today we are ranked 7th and 9th. That is mostly due to new regula-tions from the EPA, the Labor Rela-tions board and other bureaucracies.

Much is made in cliché’s from Obama supporters about “investing in education, energy, and infrastruc-ture”; I seem to remember two stimu-lus packages passed by the federal government since President Obama’s inauguration. We were told these were “investments” in education, energy, and infrastructure”. Are a couple of nearly trillion dollar stimulus pack-ages not enough “investment”? Why would we want more of that when the last two efforts have failed?

Most Democrats seem to have for-gotten that President Obama has actually been president for nearly four years. They act as if he has some kind of vision now that he did not have over the last four years. When I think of failed policies of the past, I do not have to think back to past presidents. I have four years of recent history to see what failed policies look like. I could go on about more of the clichés, but for now can I just recommend we drop the cliché’s taken directly from the democrat talking points have a real dialogue about what works and what does not?

Democrats have fi elded impressive slate of candidates for usTo the editor,

I attended the N.H. House Can-didates’ forum at the Wicwas Lake Grange in Meredith on September 19th. There were not many surprises in the candidates’ comments and the sharp disagreements were as expected. What became clear to me as the discussion turned to education was that the candidates were coming from profoundly different under-standings about the role of education in our society. When the Republicans addressed education, it was about the needs and personalities of their own children. When the Democrats spoke, they talked of the needs of all children.

Public education must meet the needs of all children. We need a Leg-

islature which prioritizes the educa-tional future of every child, not just those who have the opportunity to home school or those who can afford private or parochial school tuition with the benefi t of the “tax credit scholarship.” Any program which takes funding away from the public schools works to the detriment of all of our children, but particularly to the detriment of the children of low income families.

Please consider the interests of all families when you vote this fall. The Democratic slate of candidates in Meredith and Gilford is impressive, and committed to work for all of us.

Marian TuckerMeredith

To the editor,I’m strongly supporting Bob Lamb

for election to the New Hampshire State Senate in District 2 because our district needs a leader who will work for US, not for a group of shadowy, out-of-state conservative PACs.

Two years ago when she fi rst ran for State Senate, Jeanie For-rester proudly advertised that she had signed “every available pledge” of conservative PACs like the Koch Brothers’ Americans for Prosperity, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). With these pledges, Forrester signed away her District 2 vote to out-of-state groups working directly against the interests of the voters here in District 2.

And how her votes have hurt us! Forrester voted:

— To eliminate Medicaid reimburse-ments to New Hampshire hospitals, which forced Lakes Region General Hospital to stop accepting Medicaid patients altogether and led to over 1,000 hospital layoffs across the state.

— To slash the University System of New Hampshire’s appropriation by 48-percent, which led to tuition increases, cuts in student aid at Plym-outh State University and layoffs across the university system.

— To cut the tobacco tax by 10-cents a pack, which the tobacco companies simply pocketed and never passed on to customers, blowing a $20-million hole in the state budget this biennium.

— To decimate mental health ser-vices in New Hampshire, which has led to the closure of facilities across the state and the discharge of patients who pose a risk to themselves and to others.

— To close the DMV offi ce in Laco-nia-Belmont, which forces drivers to travel to Concord for their license renewals.

— To enact ALEC’s Voter ID bill, which is causing tremendous confu-sion and is putting up real roadblocks to voting by our senior citizens and

others without drivers’ licenses.— To strip her own hometown of

Meredith of its Constitutional right to its own State Rep district, leaving Meredith to share a State Rep district with Gilford.

— To remove Holderness from Senate District 2, a misguided deci-sion that was only reversed through the efforts of Bob Lamb and others to right that wrong.

— To remove Campton from Con-gressional District 2 and to remove Center Harbor from Congressional District 1, which carves a big “donut hole” in the middle of our state but more importantly shoehorns the voters in these towns into unfamiliar congressional districts.

In addition, Forrester has cast numerous votes to limits women’s rights and workers’ rights, while doing nothing to create jobs or improve our economy. In the CNBC survey of the economic well-being of the Ameri-can States, New Hampshire actually dropped from 10th place (in 2010) to 34th place (in 2011) because of the damage done to our health care and higher education systems by the Leg-islature in Concord.

Most importantly, Forrester has failed to stand up to the bullies who control her party’s leadership in the New Hampshire Legislature.

We need to change the tone in Con-cord. We need a State Senator who will put the needs of our people and our district ahead of the legislative wish-list of out-of-state superPACs.

Bob Lamb is a proven leader, a West Point-trained military offi cer who proudly served his country, an accomplished business executive with proven experience in the intricacies of budgets and complex organizations, and a community leader whose only oath is to serve the people of our dis-trict and our state.

Please join me in supporting Bob Lamb for Senate in District 2.

President Obama’s plan will restore values that I hold dearTo the editor,

This election the voters of New Hampshire face a clear choice. On every issue: individual rights, jobs, taxes, energy, education, you name it, there is a clear and fundamental dif-ference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Do you want to go for-ward and build upon what has been accomplished in the past or do you want to go back to the past and stay there?

As I drove from Georgia to New Hampshire this spring, my mind wan-dered back to traveling these same highways in the ‘50s. What a differ-ence! I thought of the construction of the interstate highway system all over the United States, a vision of the Eisenhower administration (a Repub-lican). Then I looked at the beauti-ful spring fl owers growing along the highways. They brought to mind Lady Bird Johnson, (a Democrat). I thought of the National Park system, started by Teddy Roosevelt (a Republican), the high school from which I gradu-ated built during the Depression, the

many bridges after the fl ood of ‘38 all constructed during the Franklin Roosevelt administration (a Demo-crat) — all visions of great men and women who worked on both sides of the aisle and were not willing to let the country stagnate.

There have always been wars, pov-erty, people fi ghting to keep their heads above water and people better off than others. I have lived through a time of no Medicare with two ill par-ents. I have had to depend on others. But I feel my generation always had hope and a willingness to help those who were in need.

President Obama has asked the country to rally around his concrete goals on manufacturing and infra-structure. His plans will help restore the values that I hold dear. We are caretakers of a beautiful country — it takes time, money and the will to keep America great. Let us not go back — let us go forward with Barack Obama!

LETTERSWalk-a-thon in support of Florence Cilley is set for Saturday Tales from Obama camp are easily checked as lies & distortionsTo the editor,

We are having our annual walk-a-thon on Saturday, Sept. 29 to help Laconia lung transplant patient Flor-ence Cilley pay the high cost of the medicines she will have to take for the rest of her life. She has been receiv-ing some of her medicine through the drug company programs — which are free, if you meet their requirements — but some of the companies are not doing that anymore, so she has to raise more money to meet those needs. The money raised also goes to help pay for trips to Mass. General Hospital in Boston every three months for check ups. Back awhile ago, we had to go to Boston seven time in two months because she was not doing well.. That’s a lot of miles to put on a car that fi nally wouldn’t run anymore.

Saturday will mark 12 years to the day that Florence received her lung transplant. She says she has had some close calls since then but she keeps getting back up.

The walk-a-thon is also to bring awareness to transplants of all kinds and how to become an organ donor.

There are so many new things going on in the transplant world now and I pray that more people will be able to get a new life with their transplants. Any money raised, large or small, is is great help to us. Checks can be made out to the National Foundation For Transplants. In the memo space, please write “For Florence Cilley Fund”. You can also reach Forence at 393-5107 or me at 540-7803.

Registration for the walk-a-thon will start at 9 a.m. in the Mills Indus-tries parking lot in Laconia — across Fair Street from the Water Street Cafe. The walk will start at 9:30 and wer’e going to follow a different route this year. It’s not a long walk. . . but a fun one.

We will also have a couple of raffl es going on and there will be a $50 gift card for the person who brings in the most pledges. Write down your pledges and we will copy them over on Saturday. Remember that all dona-tions are tax deductible.

Thanks so much.Plyllis BeauvaisFlorence Cilley Benefi t Walk-A-Thon

A little fl ora lowers blood pressure & brings joy to heart & soulTo the editor,

One can travel throughout Europe and amid the beautiful cities one can fi nd grapes growing on an arbor near a front door of a home — a fruit tree here and there . . . vegetable garden on the front lawn. I Iived in the most perfectly laid out city in America and fruit trees were common in Salt Lake City.

There is an old saying that goes way back: “If you want a grandmother to be a tyrant, appoint her to a zoning board”. No matter how large a city becomes,a fl ower, a small fruit tree or grape vine well manicured is a wel-

come sight. They decrease the stress of living in a congested area.

Many people are trapped by eco-nomic situations and would like to escape their restricted life in the only way they they know how. A little fl ora lowers the blood pressure. And brings joy to the heart and soul.

As government tweaks their hold upon the people, simples pleasures become short lived. And the liberties of our ancestors become a fl eeting memory.

Gene F. DanforthDanbury

To the editor,We readers of this paper have been

again treated to the thoughts of L.J. Siden, who this time decries the divi-sive and angry state of the nation. He is determined to spread the blame around equally but let me remind readers of a couple quick facts. First it was Obama who fi rst used the race card on Hillary Clinton during the primaries in ‘08. He and his support-ers have been using it ever since along with the gender card, religious card, class card, age card and every possi-ble means to divide the people of this nation. This from the man who prom-ised he would unite and be the presi-dent of all the people — no blue states no red states. In his oath of offi ce he promised to uphold the Constitution and laws of this nation but we have seen that he regards the Constitution as a bother and laws are selectively enforced if at all.

Isn’t it amazing that there are still people willing to vote for a man for president who is proving beyond doubt that he is incapable of fi xing the economy (he has only 8-percent of his appointments with business experi-ence) nor does his foreign policy show any signs of making us, or the world for that matter a safer place. His open mike blunder — telling the Russian president that after he’s reelected he will have more “fl exibility” — goes right along with his words promising that he intends to reduce our military to levels “acceptable to our Muslim brothers”. I think anyone with a normal IQ can see that such a policy would leave the U.S. unable to defend itself. Can readers not also see what that would mean for the world? It would leave the dictators of the world

a free hand — North Korea, China, Russia the radical Muslim extrem-ists would be free to spread death and terror unabated around the world and into our cities and towns. If that doesn’t scare you it sure does me.

As for the presidents re-election campaign it is short on everything except promises, smears and slanders. Once again he promises the old some-thing for nothing paid for by taxing the rich, big business,Wall Street and the banks. He once said that he wouldn’t mind taxing them at 100-percent. (Good ol’ Marxism.) Just a reminder to those who think along those lines, it didn’t work for the USSR, China, N. Korea or any other place it was ever tried and it won’t work here.

Having no accomplishments to run on, the Obama campaign is reduced to telling people that Romney is respon-sible for the death from cancer of a woman who’s husband was laid off fi ve years before her death. They tell the lie that Ryan wants to end Medi-care, Social Security, welfare all social safety nets. This is easily checkable as a distortions and lies. The Ryan plan would put sensible, long term adjustments in place to assure that these plans will be available to future generations who might need them instead of kicking the can down the road as Obama and progressives have been doing for years now. That can will eventually not be kickable but to get reelected Obama will say anything, promise anything, and do nothing.

November 6th is coming fast so for the sake of your grand children, your children, and yourselves vote Obama out on that day.

My daughter thinks WOW Trail is great, oh that it were just longerTo the editor,

On Saturday, my daughter Emily and I went to the WOW Fest in Laco-nia, and it was a perfect day to walk the WOW Trail. Emily and I loved the murals we saw along the way, the beautiful views of Opechee, and the great food we had when we were done, thanks to Patricks’ Pub and the Common Man.

We also had fun being out in the crisp September air with a great group of people — volunteers, runners, walkers, bicyclists, and especially the Laconia fi refi ghters who impressed everyone by going on the trail in full gear, masks and oxygen and everything.

As I walked, I thought of how the rail system in N.H. has long been connected to our love of recreation — from the trains bringing tourists to the Weirs as far back as the 1850s, the Snow Trains taking skiers to North Conway and beyond beginning in the 1930s, to the trains that run today — the Hobo Railroad and the Downeas-ter that stops in Exeter, Durham, and

Dover and drops you within steps of Old Orchard Beach. And today we can run (or bike or walk) alongside the rails in Laconia, continuing that train and recreation connection, but for now only less than a mile-and-a-half.

And that fact led to Emily’s only crit-icism of the WOW trail—”It’s only 1.3 miles? That’s weird,” she said when we got to Lakeport and had to turn around. And she’s right that the trail’s only shortcoming is that it’s too short — but it’s also true that projects this big take a lot of time, a lot of money, and a lot of support from the commu-nity — which was why everyone was out there on Saturday to begin with.

So I wanted to thank all the spon-sors, volunteers, and participants who contributed to the WOW Fest on Sat-urday, not just because it was a won-derful day, but also because of all their hard work to extend our fun beyond 1.3 miles (in the not too distant future I hope).

LACONIA — WOW Fest, a fund-raiser for the WOW Trail, enjoyed a record turnout on Saturday with over 500 people walking, running, cycling and enjoying the festival with a bar-becue luncheon, Caribbean music and lots of family fun. “The event contin-ues to attract more interest each year and we are very grateful for every-one’s support” said Jennifer Beetle, WOW Fest event director.

Presented by Bank of New Hamp-shire, WOW Fest ‘12 is a key fund-raiser for the WOW Trail. “Bank of New Hampshire is proud to support the WOW Trail and the 2012 WOW Fest Event,” said Mark Primeau, president and CEO of BNH. “This is an exciting event that encourages all of us to get out and get active while supporting this worthy project. We believe the WOW Trail contributes to the health and vibrancy of our community and we sup-port its’ continued growth”.

WOW Fest features a 3-mile walk, 5K and 10K road races and 15-mile and 67-mile bicycle challenges. The barbecue lunch and festival with live music and kids activities round out the event, which was held at the facili-ties of event sponsor Laconia Athletic & Swim Club.

An impressive new “Take Opechee 5K” course record was set by Aaron Hayward of Laconia with a time of 17:55 (5:46p) and the top fi nisher for the “Take Opechee 10K” was Sam Wood of Laconia with a time of 35:58 (5:48p).

Another fi rst occurred on the “Take the Trail” walk, with eight Laconia Firefi ghters donning full fi re gear (almost 60 lbs.) and covering the entire 3-mile course. “The Laconia Professional Firefi ghters, Local 1153, really enjoyed participating in WOW Fest ‘12” said Lt.Chad Vaillancourt. “We used this as an opportunity for

500+ WOW Trail lovers participate in annual fall festival in Laconia

training, conditioning and teamwork, all while raising money for the trail”.

The event also features team com-petitions in several categories. “Tilton Veterinary Hospital/Velo Belknap” took honors for the team with the most participants with an impressive 61 people participating across the fi ve events. “We really enjoyed the event and we really love the WOW Trail” said Tilton Veterinary Hospital owner and team captain Mike Ware. Pat-rick’s Pub & Eatery took top honor for the team with the most money raised ($1,596) while Awakenings Chiro-practic took the “best dressed” award and won both “WOW Cups” for having the team with the fastest three 5K and 10K runners.

Special recognition also goes to Debbie Herrington and Vinnie Bou-langer who together raised just over $1,000 for the WOW Trail. Every par-ticipant that raised over $500 was eli-gible to receive a custom embroidered WOW Fest jacket and $100 gift certifi -cate to the sponsor of their choice.

All participants were treated to a barbecue courtesy of event spon-sor Patrick’s Pub & Eatery and the Common Man Family of Restaurants with live Caribbean music provided by Island Breeze. Festival activities included a gigantic slide, balloon cre-ations, face painting, hula-hoop games and more.

“We were very pleased with the turnout and overall support of the event” said Beetle. “The team of 95 volunteers did an outstanding job of ensuring that each event went off smoothly and safely. Without them, WOW Fest could not happen and we are so grateful for their time and efforts. We look forward to continue to grow and enhance the event.”

children don’t need to fear their own government, and all Syrians have a say in how they are governed, Sunnis and Alawites, Kurds and Christians,” said Obama, who arrived at the U.N. after Ban spoke.

“That is what America stands for; that is the outcome that we will work for — with sanctions and conse-quences for those who persecute; and assistance and support for those who work for this common good,” the U.S. president said.

Ban, declaring that the situation in Syria is getting worse every day, called the confl ict a serious and grow-ing threat to international peace and security that requires attention from the deeply divided U.N. Security Council.

That appears highly unlikely, how-ever, at least in the near future.

Russia and China have vetoed three Western-backed resolutions aimed at

pressuring Syrian President Bashar Assad to end the violence and enter negotiations on a political transition, leaving the U.N.’s most powerful body paralyzed in what some diplomats say is the worst crisis since the U.S.-Soviet standoff during the Cold War.

Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff, whose country by tradition is the fi rst to speak, supported the secretary-general, saying: “There is no military solution to the Syrian crisis. Diplo-macy and dialogue are not just our best option: they are the only option.”

With the Security Council unable to act, the Emir of Qatar, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, said Arab coun-tries should intervene “out of their national, humanitarian, political and military duties and do what is neces-sary to stop the bloodshed ... in order to guarantee a peaceful transition of power in Syria.”

He cited a similar precedent when Arab forces intervened in Lebanon in the mid-1970s to stop the civil war “in a step that proved to be effective and useful.”

French President Francois Hollande said almost 30,000 people have died and asked: “How many more deaths will we wait for before we act? How can we let the paralysis of the United Nations to continue?”

Mountain Teen Project (AMTP), which has no affilia-tion with the Appalachian Mountain Club, is a men-toring program founded in 1984 with the mission of reaching the most at-risk of youth in the dozen com-munities it serves, including parts of Belknap and Carroll counties.

Although there are other mentoring programs in schools, Lynch said AMTP is distinct because of its target population, its use of trained mentors and the incorporation of outdoor adventure programming to facilitate the mentoring. Middle or high school stu-dents are referred to the program and meet weekly with a mentor, who will continue to meet with the student through his or her high school career. In addition to the weekly meetings and outdoor excur-sions, mentors often assist families in need of other services and are available to the students at any time of day.

The 16 Laconia students represent about a third of the total number of teenagers now engaged in AMTP’s mentoring program. Unlike other towns AMTP serves, though, Laconia has not contributed any public dollars since the fiscal year beginning in 2008 — not from the city or School District. The orga-nization had requested $3,000. In previous years, the city had granted amounts of such that size.

In comparison, many of the other communities served contribute amounts such as $1,200 or $2,400. The Governor Wentworth School District most recently gave the organization $9,200. In other com-munities, the amount given to the organization is proportional to the number of students in that com-munity served by AMTP.

“I would like it if the city itself would give us

$2,400. It barely makes a dent in our budget, bit it’s a wonderful voice of support,” said Lynch.

AMTP has an annual operating budget of about $170,000, Lynch said. After direct contributions from communities, the rest of the budget is balanced using grant funding and private donations. Having the city’s monetary support, even if only symbolic, lends validity to the organization’s grant applica-tions, he said.

It’s not just Laconia which has cut AMTP from its budget. The organization has seen funding from incentive funds in Belknap and Carroll counties dried up, as well as grants from Lakes Region United Way, grants through the Juvenile Justice Diversion program, the state’s Department of Education and the Governor’s Drug Free Schools and Communities program. Of course, many other non-profits were also experiencing similar crises, and resorted to applying for ever-competitive grant funding.

“I want people to know we’re doing really good work, times are tough, we could really use their help now,” said Lynch.

Jim McCollum is new principal of Laconia High School and prior to this year was principal at the city’s middle school. He confirmed Lynch’s asser-tion that AMTP stands alone among mentoring and after-school programs due to the level of training of its mentors and due to the “higher level of intensity” required by its clients.

“They connect with kids that are struggling to move forward,” McCollum said.

Every year, he said, guidance counselors or other staff members recommend students to the program, only to find that AMTP doesn’t have the resources to accept more. “We could have twice the number of

kids who would benefit meaningfully from the pro-gram,” he said. “I’ve been happy to be involved with it for many years.”

Tasha LeBeau, 16, is one of the Laconia students who said AMTP helped her turn her life around. At 14, she became pregnant. She was already strug-gling in school and taking time away from school to have her daughter only put her further behind her classmates, who, she said, now thought less of her for being a teenage mother. About a year ago, she joined AMTP and Lynch serves as her mentor. “I ran out of options. Dave helped me get back on track with my schooling.”

Acting on advice from Lynch and LeBeau’s guid-ance counselor, LeBeau identified a goal. After watching nurses helping her daughter, she decided she wanted to also have a career doing the same. She left the conventional education program and in July had earned her General Education Devel-opment (GED) certificate. Now, LeBeau is taking classes in the district’s adult education program and is on track to become a Registered Nurse in a few years. It’s a goal she would have thought too big a few years ago, but she’s found that with help from her mentor, she can do it.

“Before I got involved with AMTP, I was very troubled. I got arrested a lot, I was on probation, I was a troublemaker,” she said. Lynch helped her family access community resources so the family had enough food, and the other AMTP weren’t judgemental or dismissive. She now has a life plan, is engaged to be married and has a group of friends. She now also has more respect for her family and how much her mother has struggled while raising

her. With a career in nursing, she hopes to be able to help her mother as well as provide for her daughter, Summer Rain, who is turning two in November.

“I think there should be a lot more programs like this. A lot more people should chip in and support the program, it’s going to make the future a better place to be,” LeBeau said.

Both of Melissa Hartman’s 14 year-old twins — one son, one daughter — are now paticipating in AMTP’s mentoring program. Although they’re rela-tively new members, she has already seen a change, especially in her daughter. “She’s had a rough one, to say the least,” Hartman said. Once withdrawn, her daughter now has a circle of friends, people she

can confi de in, confi dence in herself and has learned strategies to work through confl icts.

For Hartman, the value of AMTP is underlined by her experience with other mentoring programs. Her daughter participated with another program, in which she met her mentor once per month and cycled through four mentors, each time failing to fi nd an adult who wanted to commit to a long-term relationship. With AMTP, though, mentors meet at least weekly and will respond immediately in times of need. “If you need help, they’re there for you. They’re always there, I don’t know how they do it.”

“The kids who are in this program really need it,” Hartman said. “This program makes your kid feel like a superstar that they need to feel they are.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL put its stamp of approval on the still-smoldering outcome of the Green Bay-Seattle game:

Wrong call.Right review.Wrong team still wins.Seahawks 14, Packers 12.With frustration mounting among coaches, play-

ers and fans, the worst fear finally materialized: a mistake by a replacement official would decide the outcome of a game.

It came while the NFL and its regular officials, locked out since June, were in resumed talks in an attempt to resolve the impasse.

That was still a day late for the Packers.The fiasco, which unfolded on the prominent stage

of “Monday Night Football,” was deconstructed by the league Tuesday in a way that surely rendered little comfort for Cheeseheads.

The NFL said Seattle’s last-second touchdown pass should not have counted because Seahawks receiver Golden Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference, ending the game with Green Bay winning.

Instead, officials ruled it a touchdown, and penal-ties either way are not reviewable.

That left it to whether Tate and Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings both had possession of the ball. The officials said they did, but the Packers insisted Jennings had clear possession for a game-ending interception. The NFL agreed that the replay was inconclusive, upholding the touchdown and giving Seattle the victory.

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, normally a soft-spoken player who didn’t say much after the loss, lashed out on his radio show Tuesday..

“First of all, I’ve got to do something that the NFL is not going to do: I have to apologize to the fans,” he said on ESPN 540-AM in Milwaukee.

Even President Barack Obama got in on the con-versation Tuesday, tweeting: “NFL fans on both sides of the aisle hope the refs’ lockout is settled soon.”

The controversy began on the final play when Rus-sell Wilson heaved a 24-yard pass into a scrum in the end zone with Seattle trailing 12-7. Tate shoved away a defender with both hands, and he and Jen-nings got their hands on the ball.

“It was pinned to my chest the whole time,” Jen-nings said.

Instead, the officials ruled on the field that the two had simultaneous possession, which counts as a reception.

“The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to over-turn the on-field ruling following the instant replay review,” the league said in a statement.

Saying there was no indisputable evidence, though, is not the same as confirming the initial call was correct.

NFL upholds Seahawk’s win over Green BayThe Packers, one of sports’ most storied franchises

and Super Bowl champs two years ago, fell to 1-2. The Seahawks are 2-1.

Fans’ fascination with the finish was evident in the number who stayed with ESPN to watch the highlights on “SportsCenter” after the game: 6.5 million viewers, the most for the full-length show since records started being kept in 1990.

On his weekly appearance on Seattle radio station 710 KIRO-AM, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made no apologies Tuesday, saying, “The league backed it up and game over. We win.”

“Golden makes an extraordinary effort. It’s a great protection. It’s a great throw. It’s a great attempt at the ball and he wins the battle,” he said. “They were right on the point looking right at it, standing right over the thing and they reviewed it. Whether they missed the push or not — obviously they missed the push in the battle for the ball — but that stuff goes on all the time.”

But Rodgers, in a reference to referee Wayne Elliott not seeing indisputable evidence, said: “I mean, come on, Wayne. That’s embarrassing.”

NFL Players Association executive director DeM-aurice Smith posted a statement to members saying the lockout “jeopardizes your health and safety.”

“This decision to remove more than 1,500 years of collective experience has simply made the workplace less safe,” he wrote, adding, “We are actively review-ing any and all possible actions to protect you.”

The NFL locked out the officials in June after their contract expired. Unable to reach a new col-lective bargaining agreement, the league opened the season with replacements, most with experience only in lower levels of college football.

Coaches and players began griping about the offi-cials in the preseason, but the tension seemed to boil over this past weekend.

Scuffles after the whistle were frequent with play-ers appearing to test the limits of the new officials, and coaches were fined for berating them.

Las Vegas oddsmakers said $300 million or more changed hands worldwide on Monday’s call. The Glantz-Culver line for the game opened favoring the Packers by 4½. Had the play been ruled an intercep-tion, Green Bay would have won by 5.

The call also found its way into Wisconsin politics, with Republican Gov. Scott Walker tweeting for the regular officials to return. Opponents noted that he seemed to be supporting the referees union after going after public employee unions last year, though Democratic state Sen. Jon Erpenbach added: “We’re all fans, first and foremost.”

Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy was stoic after the game, but Packers guard T.J. Lang vented on Twitter, using some expletives to say Green Bay was robbed by the refs. A day later, he said he regretted only his use of profanity.

If you are interested in reducing your annual heating costs and having an efficient, quiet AC in summer you may want to consider a Ductless Air Exchange Heat Pump/AC system. They can significantly reduce your heating costs. This technology has improved over the last few years. It can allow heat cost savings of more than 50%. It’s basically a dual mode air conditioner that can operate in reverse. It can move heat into the house in the winter just like it moves it out in the summer. When the super cold refrigerant is exposed to air it “boils” and changes to a warm gas. This is just like removing heat from your refrigerator and blowing it out the bottom into the kitchen.

The efficiency of an air source heat pump is very high during milder winter days. When the temperature outside is 40 degrees fahrenheit many models operate at over 400% efficiency (and higher as it gets warmer). This means that for every watt (3.412 Btu) of electricity that you pay for it creates 4 watts (13.65 Btu) of heat energy!

Efficiencies in standard models (8-9 HSPF “Heating Seasonal Performance Factor”) do drop down to about 200% at freezing, and these models produce less heat at temperatures below 25 degrees

fahrenheit. This means that your current heating system should remain to warm your house on the colder days of the winter. But a new heat pump model with a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor of 10+ can be cost effective for heating down into the teens or even single digits.

Check with your local energy provider for applicable residential and commercial rebates. Some utilities in NH are offering rebates up to 35% of the installed cost.

MOULTONBOROUGH — The Moultonborough Recreation Advisory Board has announced that the fund-raiser that it is supporting to raise money to buy a scoreboard for Moult-onborough Central School is off to a great start.

The Board, made up of Al Hume, Chair, Carla Taylor, Vice Chair, Celeste Burns, Secretary, Chris Shipp and Morgen Gillis, identifi ed the need to replace the scoreboard after watch-ing games this past year in the gym. The current table top scoreboard is not visible to the coaches or players and they must walk onto the court to see the score. A new scoreboard on the wall would enable all to see the score from anywhere in the gym and would benefi t players, coaches and fans alike.

The Board envisioned a three pronged approach to the project and wanted to start with the students at Moultonborough Central School. To that end they organized a penny drive with the class collecting the most winning a pizza party. All classes

contributed but Mrs. Shipp’s and Mr. Stackhouse’s classrooms tied with an astounding 28 pounds of pennies apiece. The school raised $198 towards the scoreboard through this challenge.

For the second phase of the project the campers in the community par-ticipated in a penny carnival that the Moultonborough Recreation Depart-ment ran this summer through their camp programs and raised another $61 for the effort.

For the third prong the Recreation Advisory Board is looking to local individuals and businesses to aid in the effort. All donations in any size will be appreciated and any that total $100 or more will include the name of the donor on a commemorative plaque that will be permanently affi xed to the wall below the new scoreboard.

Checks may be made out to the Moultonborough Academy Athletic Fund and mailed to Moultonborough Academy, 25 Blake Road, Moultonbor-ough, NH 03254. Call Carla Taylor @ 253- 6412 with any questions.

GILFORD — The Opechee Garden Club (OGC) welcomes its own member, Dale Squires of Belknap Landscape Company to share his expertise on landscaping at their October 1 meet-ing at 1 p.m. at the Gilford Commu-nity Church, Potter Hill Road, Gilford.

Squires has been heavily involved in community gardens, from the revi-talization of the Kirkwood Gardens at Squam Lakes Science Center to Stew-art Park in Laconia.

He has worked alongside civic orga-nizations and organized projects such as the mass tulip and lily plantings. Squires will advise members why spring isn’t the only time for plant-ing. Following the autumnal equinox, there are many weeks before a frost for cool-season planting, a good time for planting. In fact, it is the best time for planting shrubs, trees, bulbs and to re-seed or start a new lawn or to lay down sod. And it is a good time for members to receive some sound advice and answers to some landscap-ing problems.

Chairs Louise Osborn, Iris White-

horn and Janice Combe and host-esses - Connie Russell, Deborah Cotton, Fran Crawford, Helen Denley, Lynn DeVivo, Dorothy Duffy, Irene Fournier, Edythe Adams and Fran Donahue - will serve refreshments. Wreath Chair, Judy Nelson will be taking orders for wreaths.

Club members will continue main-taining many public gardens - Belknap County Courthouse, the Rowe House, the Goss Reading Room, the Gilford Library, the WOW Trail and the bird and butterfly garden at Prescott Farm Conservancy, the Laconia Post Office and the Laconia Library. Members hope that they are inviting places for carefree strolls.

The Opechee Garden Club, which meets the first Monday of the month (unless otherwise noted) at the Gilford Community Church, Potter Hill Road, Gilford, welcomes new members - write PO Box 6025, Laconia, NH, call 293-7357, email opecheegrardenclub2012@gmail.com or visit www.opecheegarden-club.com. Join in time to celebrate the 75th anniversary in 2014.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will be most attracted to scenes fi lled with emotion and human interest. Your com-fort level in such situations makes you the perfect social director. You’ll lead others toward peaceable interaction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve transitioned into a new schedule, and it’s now taking less effort to go through the motions. Your extra reserves of energy can be applied to doing some research on your next project. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You accept responsibilities willingly, but only if you’re fi rst convinced that you should really be the rightful owner. You are right to be skeptical. Someone will try to pass off a job that you needn’t take on. CANCER (June 22-July 22). What-ever your belief or creed, you will feel it tug at your conscience now. You’ll want to illustrate your beliefs in some tangible way to make sure that your life and heart are congruent. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Venus is still smiling on you. Your confi dence is smooth and tucked away, yet unmis-takable. This is your chance to get the support you need to launch a project. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are downright telepathic, sensing the needs and feelings of others. But you may fi nd it diffi cult to accurately name your own emotions and requirements. A gentle Pisces will help in this regard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The sun continues to offer a fl uff and fold to your ego. Enjoy the fresh energy that comes from feeling that everything is going your way -- or could go your way at any moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Though it’s wonderful to anticipate future events, today the intense magic and opportunity will be enclosed in commonplace occurrences such as the laughter of a loved one or a casual, friendly exchange. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may have set out to fi nd fame and fortune, but your journey is no longer about such superfi cial gains. You’ll be reminded that there are more important reasons why you must succeed in your quest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Willpower is like a muscle you can fl ex and use -- but not indefi nitely. Fatigue is a real concern. So let up on yourself. Alternate between being very disci-plined and very relaxed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one who used to listen to you and act on your advice is now someone to whom you should be listening. Sooner or later the student always becomes the teacher. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Inter-actions will be laced with nuance as you receive quiet attention from some-one who fi nds you attractive. The least obvious expressions of love can be the most memorable. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). Born in the early degrees of Libra, your soul lights up when exposed to surpris-ing art and rare beauty. Your year will be fi lled with such encounters as you place yourself in environments both artistic and natural. October changes your living arrangement. November brings additions to your team and also to your family. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 23, 14, 9 and 40.

MEREDITH — The story of the Concord Coach is coming to the Mer-edith Historical Society on October 2 at 7 p.m. when Brian Erickson of the Abbot-Downing Concord presents a multimedia story of New Hampshire’s fabled Concord Coach and the 100-year history of the Abbot-Downing Company.

The colorful history of the Con-cord Coach covers the breadth of the United States, but its origin was here in New Hampshire at Concord’s Abbot-Downing Company. The unique design of these coaches gave a more comfortable ride on the dirt roads around the United States., and they quickly became the coach of choice for cities, hotels and long distance travel.

Brian Erickson is President of the

Abbot-Downing Historical Society, whose mission is to collect, preserve and interpret materials related to the Concord Coach and Abbot-Downing Company and its role in American transportation.

The Meredith Historical Society is located on Main Street in Meredith. A brief business meeting will precede Erickson’s presentation. Refresh-ments will be served at the end of his discussion.

The public is welcome to attend the monthly meetings. Anyone who is interested in the history of our area is encouraged to join the Meredith Historical Society. For further infor-mation, contact the office at 279-1190 or Karen Thorndike at 279-2275 or karent@metrocast.net.

LACONIA — The Laconia Human Relations Committee, in coopera-tion with the Laconia Public Library, presents “Australia”, another in their International Films Series, on Monday, October 1 at 5:45 p.m. at the Laconia Public Library. Note the early start due to the length of the movie.

“Australia” is set just before WWII. The cultural interface of British, Aus-tralian cattle- baron, and Aboriginal cultures is told through the story of Mullah (Brandon Walters), a young mixed-race boy. His life is in constant risk of deportation to a ‘Christian’ camp.

Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jack-son star along with Walters. Their characters join forces to embark on

Free showing of film ‘Australia’ offered at Laconia Public Library on Monday

a transforming journey while driving cattle across the wild desert terrain of northern Australia. Their world is torn apart by the policies of the Aus-tralian government at the time of taking children born of white fathers and Aboriginal mothers and placing them in camps to be raised ‘Christian’.

This 2008 movie can be viewed from many directions. The love story between Kidman and Jackson is a powerful one of transformation. The movie is usually remembered through this story-line. Also important is the historical time that it is sited in of the beginning of WWII when Darwin was bombed following close on to the Pearl Harbo attack. However, equally

LACONIA — Parents in the Lakes Region have several free, local opportunities to develop new parenting skills and support their children’s early learning this fall.

Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS) Family Resource Center of Central New Hampshire and Lakes Region Child Care Service Inc., with support from 98.3 LNH Children’s Auction, have teamed up to bring ABCs for Parents and their Children to families in the Lakes Region. This free, seven ses-sion series is designed to ensure children’s success in school and beyond.

Parents and their preschool aged children attend sepa-rate sessions that meet concurrently. Topics include chil-dren’s growth and development; developing empathy and self-awareness; meeting our needs and the needs of our children; building self worth; developing personal power in adults and children; positive discipline practices; and helping children manage their behavior.

ABCs classes will meet on Thursdays in October and November, beginning on October 4. All classes will meet from 5:30-8 p.m. at the LRCCS Laconia Early Learning Center, 22 Strafford Street, Unit 4, Laconia. A free dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m .Classes begin promptly at 6 p.m. Free, on-site child-care will be available for older and younger siblings.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My parents divorced years ago. Dad waited patiently while Mom chose between him and another man. In the end, Mom chose the other guy, but it didn’t work out. Neither have any of her other relationships. Meanwhile, my dad married a lovely, classy and extremely wealthy woman. They have found true happiness, while my mom has become bitter and jealous. I love both of my parents, but it’s diffi cult to be around my mother when she constantly whines and complains about Dad, saying he has money and she doesn’t. My grandmother had to take over most of Mom’s fi nancial responsibilities, in-cluding helping to pay for our expenses growing up. Here’s the problem. My sister is getting married. She is paying for part of the wedding, but asked our parents to help with the rest. Dad gave her a check for his share. Mom, on the other hand, is unable to pay, and Grandma says she is not covering the cost. This was a surprise because Grandma has always said “yes” in the past. Mom won’t tell my sister be-cause she doesn’t want to upset her. She doesn’t want Dad to know she can’t afford it, which is ridiculous because he’s well aware that she is fi nancially strapped. He probably assumes Grandma will pay. Mom has reached a new level of complaining. She cries and is frequently sick. She’s angry with Grandma. She wor-ries that Dad’s wife will look prettier at the wedding and that her future son-in-law will like my stepmother better. She has asked to borrow money from me and is thinking of taking out a loan. I want to help, but I think part of this is her own fault. She needs to grow up and live within her means instead of trying to keep up with Dad and his wife. But telling her that would crush her. What can I do? -- Worried Dear Worried: There’s only so much reassurance you can

give Mom if she cannot overcome her insecurities. That might require professional help. But there is no reason to protect your sister from the diffi culties she has caused. Tell her the wedding is a fi nancial burden that Mom cannot manage, and ask her to cut back on her expenses or fi nd another way to pay for the extra cost. Dear Annie: My husband enjoyed sex when we had it, but I initiated every session. After fi ve years, I started to feel as if I was begging for it and asked him to take the lead some of the time. He didn’t. For three more years, I told him it would thrill me to be ap-proached by him, treated to dinner or have a little gift placed on my pillow -- the kind of things I did for him. I fi nally con-vinced him to go for counseling, but my husband wouldn’t do any of the things the counselor suggested. In desperation, I told him that if he wanted sex, he would have to initiate it. That was seven years ago, and we haven’t been intimate since. I can’t divorce him because of my own physical prob-lems. He says he loves me, but he’s not willing to do anything for me. Any suggestions? -- Another Sad Wife Dear Sad: Other than making sure your husband has a thorough checkup, you might consider counseling for your-self. While you cannot force your husband to change, you can work on your own happiness. Our condolences. Dear Annie: May I weigh in on whether or not to have fl ow-ers at a funeral? When my parents died, the fl owers were deeply appreciated. They brightened the rooms where we had visitation and later at the church. If someone wants to give to a charity, fi ne, but the fl owers at my parents’ funerals brought much more comfort to us than any of the donations, although the latter were surely well in-tended. -- C.B.
