HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A Harvard-educated biologist was sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday after being convicted of going on a shooting rampage during a faculty meeting at an Alabama university, killing three colleagues and wounding three others in 2010.
The jury deliberated for about 20 min-utes before convicting Amy Bishop. The former professor at the University of Ala-bama in Huntsville showed no reaction as
W A S H I N G T O N (AP) — As condolences poured in from around the world, National Zoo officials waited Monday for word on why a 6-day-old panda cub died and lamented a heartbreaking setback to their closely watched breeding program.
The cub had liver abnormalities and fluid in its abdomen, but a cause of death will not be known until full nec-ropsy results are avail-able within two weeks.
The cub, believed to be female, died Sunday morning, less than a week after its birth sur-prised and delighted zoo officials and visi-tors. Zookeepers had all but given up on the panda mother’s chances of conceiving after six years of failed attempts.
“Every loss is hard,” National Zoo director Dennis Kelly said. “This one is especially devas-tating.”
This much is known: The cub appeared to be in good condition. It had been drinking its moth-er’s milk. And it wasn’t accidentally crushed to death by its mother, which has happened to other panda cubs in captivity. At birth, the
ATLANTA (AP) — Never have American voters re-elected a president whose work they disapprove of as much as Barack Obama’s. Not that Mitt Romney can take much comfort — they’ve never elected a challenger they view so negatively, either.
CONCORD (AP) — A judge on Monday cleared the way for out-of-state college students to continue voting in New Hamp-shire, ordering the state to change its new voter registration form before the Novem-ber elections.
Students traditionally have been allowed to declare the state their home without holding legal residency, which involves an intent to stay for an extended period of time. And in 1972, a federal judge ruled that the state could not forbid out-of-state students from voting in New Hampshire even if they

Court ruling allows out-of-state students to vote in N.H.planned to leave after graduation.
But under a law passed this year, new voters would have been required to sign a statement saying they declare New Hamp-shire their home and are subject to laws that apply to all residents, including laws requiring drivers to register cars and get a New Hampshire driver’s license. The state-ment doesn’t specifically require students to be residents but makes them subject to hundreds of laws involving residency.
Strafford County Superior Court Judge John Lewis ordered the state to issue new voter reg-
istration forms without that paragraph, saying it was at odds with state law and would have a “clear, harmful effect” on the voting rights of college students and others.
The law, which was passed over Demo-cratic Gov. John Lynch’s veto, was chal-lenged by the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire and four students repre-sented by the New Hampshire Civil Liber-ties Union.
“We are very pleased the judge agreed with our concern that students who come

Bishop avoided a death sentence by pleading guilty earlier this month to the shootings on Feb. 12, 2010. Before the guilty plea — which she signed with a barely legible scrawl — her attorneys

When you want the benefits of a retirement community but prefer to stay in your home.CONCORD (AP) — Outraged charter school advo-
cates plan to pressure the New Hampshire Board of Education to reverse its recent decision to enact an indefinite moratorium on authorizing new schools.
The board voted last week to deny all pending charter school applications, citing uncertainty over state funding. But charter school officials, parents and others hope to change that with letters, peti-tions and in-person appeals at the board’s next meeting, set for Oct. 17.
“We have a five-year budget plan in place, we have a curriculum plan in place, we have a building picked out. We’re ready to move,” said Don Erdbrink, a board member of the Seacoast High School for the Arts. “And now we can’t do anything because of this decision.”
The state spends about $5,450 per charter school student each year. But given the rapid growth in recent years, the current total wouldn’t be enough going forward, board chairman Tom Raffio said.
He said the board supports charter schools, and points to the 11 schools that are up and running and seven more that have been approved as proof of that support. But it wouldn’t be fair to the 15 others that have been proposed to approve them without know-ing whether funding will keep pace, he said.
CONCORD (AP) — Police in Concord say a man has died of injuries suffered from test-driving a motorcycle in a dealer parking lot.
Police said 42-year-old Douglas Cook of Concord died Sunday.
They had responded to Freedom Cycle in Concord on Thursday afternoon for a report of an accident. Police were told a motorcycle had crashed In the parking lot and that the operator was injured.
Police said they learned Cook had been test-driv-ing the vehicle when he apparently lost control and crashed. He was taken to Concord Hospital for treat-ment of a possible head injury.
Witnesses said no other vehicles were involved in the accident.
Police said they are still investigating what hap-pened.

GILFORD — After a week-long inves-tigation, on Friday night police recov-ered nearly $2,000 in hunting equipment stolen from a car belonging to an Abenaki Path man on September 16.
Brandon Heacox, 17, of 6 Cumberland Road Apt. 34 is charged with on felony count of receiving stolen property and one misdemeanor count of having a weapon, a compound bow, in his possession in viola-tion of bail conditions.
The investigation was triggered last week when police received reports of
Crossbow stolen in Gilford recovered

thefts from six vehicles in the Lake Shore Road sec-tion of town.
According to affidavits submitted by police to the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday, one of the victims reported the theft of a Bow-Tec Com-pound bow and Kel-Tec handgun from his truck.
The victim said he had returned home from hunt-ing at about 8 p.m. on September 15 and had locked his truck at 10:30 p.m. He reported the items stolen the next morning.
On Sept 16, police received a call from someone who knows Heacox. Police said that person reported allegedly seeing Heacox place something in the woods around 10:30 p.m. the night before.
The person making the report waited a bit, entered
the woods, and located the compound bow. He was able to describe the bow to police who said the description matched that given by victim.
On September 20, Gilford Police received a call from Laconia Police who told them they were taking a statement from someone who reported allegedly buying the bow from Heacox.
When the person speaking to Laconia Police took the bow to Martel’s Bail and Sport Shop, the owner of the shop told him he had reason to believe the bow was stolen because he had gotten a call from a Tilton pawn shop about a bow just like
that one. Affidavits said Heacox tried selling the bow to three different pawn stores.
Martel’s owner told police he recognized the bow because he was the one who sold it to the victim and was the one who installed some special sights. Once the man who said he bought the bow from Heacox realized it was stolen, he left it at Martel’s and reported it to Laconia Police.
The owner of Martel’s also told police the victim had come to his shop for invoices about the bow and had already purchased another one.
Gilford Police retrieved the bow from Martel’s.Police Chief Kevin Keenan said yesterday the
investigation into the thefts is ongoing and he said there will likely be additional charges forthcoming.

required to prepare a request for proposals (RFP) and market the site nationwide.
The city countered the initial offer of $10-million with its offer of $2.16-million, which matched the state’s recent appraisal of the property. Following the law, the state then offered the property to the county, which declined it.
Then the city resubmitted its $2.16-million bid hoping the Executive Council would approve the sale at that price without really try to sell the land on the open market.
Instead, Lahey said that the state is on the brink of issuing the RFP, which he anticipated would be a lengthy document. Without elaborating further, he suggested
that the city should take its offer off the table in order to place itself on an equal footing with other prospective bidders considering the terms of the RFP.
The city’s offer included four tax parcels. The largest, some 200-acres, is bounded by North Main Street to the east, Meredith Center Road and East-man Road to the north and Ahern State Park to the west and south and divided roughly in half by Right Way Path. The city holds 99-year leases at $1 per year, which expire in 2099, on the three remaining parcels: an undeveloped 10.4-acre lot at the junction of Old North Main Street and North Main Street; an unimproved wooded lot of 7.5-acres at the corner of Lane Road and Meredith Center Road and the 10.2 acres housing the Robbie Mills Sports Complex.

nationally and in several key states that could decide a close election. And the mere fact that Romney hasn’t ever notched a clear lead in polling, unlike previous winning challengers by this point, under-scores his struggle to strike a chord with an elector-ate that isn’t exactly enamored with the incumbent.
The presidency already gives certain campaign advantages to the Oval Office occupant, and his-tory indicates that the longer Romney looks up at
Obama, the greater the president’s chances at a second term.
History, of course, isn’t predictive. But it does provide context to help understand the current state of the race.
Some Republicans point to 1980 as hope for a Romney rebound. That year, Ronald Reagan pulled away from President Jimmy Carter in late Octo-ber to win in a landslide that has reached almost mythical status in GOP annals. But there are many

Listen Up! There’s a type of Annuity that pays you money if your health profile is poor. This is very different than trying to apply for life in-surance where you need to qualify medically and be of good standing. This may sound strange but here’s how it works. SPIA stands for “Single Premium Imme-diate Annuity”, and has long been a popular investment for obtaining a fixed income which cannot be outlived, (perpetual income). Insur-ance carriers calculate the size of your monthly payment based on standard life expectancy tables. Once these are calculat-ed, you continue to receive the same monthly amount, regardless of how long you live. It’s al-most like getting a second social security check.
Is it really True?There are companies that take into account
your individual health conditions and use that information to calculate your life expectancy. Your health is factored into the initial payment calculation. If your health records indicate condi-tions that could lower your life expectancy, your “fixed” payment will be higher, regardless of how long you live.
Here is a hypothetical example. A healthy 70 year old male decides to obtain a SPIA. He de-posits a $200,000 premium and based on his standard life expectancy of 16 years, his month-ly payment is $1,460. He will receive this fixed amount regardless of how long he lives. . This annuitant will receive a higher fixed monthly payment when his health history is negative. Therefore; if he has a negative health profile and the insurance company calculates his life expec-tancy at only 10 years, his monthly payment will increase to $2,104.
Important NoteSPIA’s have been most popular with single in-
dividuals who are not concerned with leaving an inheritance. Once the initial premium is paid the SPIA cannot be surrendered for value, instead, the individual receives a fixed income monthly for life. Another benefit is safety of principal, your money is backed by the insurer and is not based on the fluctuations of the markets. You also receive a tax advantage with this type of guaran-teed income.
For those who like the idea of increasing their monthly income and leaving funds to heirs, you may consider using only a portion of your assets for a SPIA, and keep other assets designated for heirs. If this type of planning is something you would be interested in contact your financial ad-visor. See you next week.

LACONIA — The City Council last night agreed that if the debris remaining from the demolition of the Wide Open Saloon at Weirs Beach has not been emoted from the site by October 1, City Manager Scott Myers should seek an order from Belknap County Superior Court authorizing the city to clear the site and place a lien on the property to recover its costs.
“What is sitting there is not a whole better than what was standing there,” City Manager Scott Myers old the City Council last night. “I share your frustration and citizens’ frustration, “ he continued, adding that “I prefer it can worked out amicably.”
Myers told the councilors that the agreement between the city and Brandi Baldi, the principal of 38 Endicott Street North, LLC, the owner of the property, stipulated that the demolition would be

complete and the debris removed by September 12. He said that attorneys representing both parties have met, but there has been no sign of activity on the property.
On September 17, 2010 the building was severely damaged by fi re. In the two years that followed its charred remains cast a pall over The Weirs while Baldi pursued various strands of litigation, includ-ing a suit against her insurance carrier. Ultimately the city and Baldi reached a settlement and earlier this month the building was fi nally knocked down.
As part of the settlement the city agreed that once the demolition is complete, the property owner will have one year to make a good faith effort, which could amount to fi ling a site plan or pulling a build-ing permit, to rebuild on the same footprint, with-out being bound by changes in the zoning ordinance enacted since the original building was constructed.

reasons why this is not 1980, not the least of which are that Romney is not Reagan and Obama is not Carter.
From Labor Day through late October, Carter was tied with or led Reagan. But, unlike Romney, Reagan had led for most of the summer, and Carter hadn’t polled better than 41 percent since the spring, well below Obama’s lowest head-to-head numbers this year.
Many Republicans, meanwhile, are growing rest-less following Romney’s lackluster convention, his comments on Middle East unrest and the release of a secretly recorded video that showed the GOP nom-inee dismissing 47 percent of the country as believ-ing they are “victims” and dependent on handouts.
Still, says Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, “This is our election to lose. If Obama wins, he’ll be rewriting political history.”
Using historical Gallup job approval ratings in election years — in September where possible — Obama ranks below the seven presidents who have been re-elected since 1948. But he is in a stronger position than the three — Carter, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush — who lost. The three losing presidents all had unemployment rates lower than today’s, but the overall economic circumstances vary.
Obama’s personal favorability ratings have con-sistently been higher than his job approval ratings. Republican strategist Timmy Teepell, who manages gubernatorial, House and Senate campaigns for
the GOP, credits independents with the difference. “They may not like what he’s done,” he said, “but they think he’s a good guy and he’s trying hard.”
Voters with negative impressions of Romney, meanwhile, have outnumbered those with favorable impressions for much of his bid. That dynamic was fueled in no small part by a crowded primary fi eld that hammered Romney on everything from his moderate record as Massachusetts governor to his business ventures at Bain Capital.
At Romney headquarters, the offi cial line is opti-mism. Top pollster Neil Newhouse proffers the Poli-tics 101 method for beating an incumbent. At the same time, he acknowledges that Romney’s effort so far isn’t enough.
“We recognize that over the next seven weeks we need to not just make the case why Barack Obama doesn’t deserve a second term,” Newhouse said, “but also to paint a picture of how a Mitt Romney presi-dency would be different and better.”
With Romney working on the second part of that effort, the president has capsized the usual rules of an incumbent election and, in some respects, made Nov. 6 a referendum on Romney in addition to one on Obama’s fi rst term.
“We’ve just done a better job telling the presi-dent’s story than they’ve done telling theirs,” claims Paul Begala, a veteran Democratic strategist who is advising the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action.

Those can’t hide moments
I used to joke that there was no hat that Michael Dukakis could have put on in a school or hospital that would have doomed his cam-paign the way that helmet did (with the strap fastened) at the tank fac-tory. What was he doing at a tank factory? The short answer is that the defense hawks in the Demo-cratic Party thought he looked weak on defense and needed to confront it by doing a defense event, where he ended up looking like a guy who didn’t belong on a tank.
Presidential politics, for all the talk about handlers and fundrais-ing and paid media, is painfully transparent. Even the ads that turn out to matter are often the ones that most people never see except on the news, which would include the famous daisy ad in 1964 (which was shown once) or even the anti-Kerry Swift Boat ads that got more attention than air play. And much of the time, the insight comes some other way. For instance, George Bush looking at his watch during his “public forum” debate with Bill Clinton.
With 50 days to go, a lot can still happen. Yada Yada. That’s what we always say until it’s over.
But if you had to guess, the “Romney tape” will, in retrospect, be the moment that defines a can-didacy and a campaign because it reinforces precisely what everyone has long seen as Romney’s fun-damental weakness. He’s a rich, self-satisfied guy who just doesn’t get it — meaning us. He stands in a room full of rich people and it never occurs to him that someone out there — maybe the kid in the kitchen, or the woman who served his dinner, or the son or daughter or friend of one of the rich hosts — isn’t a member of the club that Mitt has belonged to all his life. All he sees are the people who look just like him. Everyone else is invisible, or worse — irresponsible, lazy, the object of his contempt.
He doesn’t get that some of the people who need a helping hand from the government aren’t “vic-tims,” but seniors who built this country, or disabled vets who put their lives on the line, or students who need help to go to college, or
children who otherwise won’t get a hot meal in the day.
He thinks of these “others” as tax wastrels, unlike he and his friends who make their money not by work-ing but by having money. And he doesn’t even realize that the way he sees the world is not the way the world really is for most people.
In the days since “the video” came out, I’ve been asked a lot how his advisers could have been so stupid as to allow him to stand by his com-ments. There is an easy answer. The fish rots from the head.
Oh, I’m sure there was someone at the table, probably more than one, who told Romney that he should do just what he did: dismiss the phras-ing, but stand by his comments. Maybe because they see the world the way he does. Maybe because saying no to power is always harder than saying yes. But I’m equally sure that there were others who told him just the opposite: stop the bleeding; apologize; take it on the chin; eat some crow and try to turn it into a one-day story. There isn’t much new under the sun. In a cam-paign, at this stage, a lot of smart people are sitting around. There is rarely an option (much less an obvi-ous one) that doesn’t get put on the table. And then the guy (or gal) who is in charge decides. And in decid-ing, he reveals himself.
I remember once, back in the 1988 campaign, then vice presiden-tial candidate Lloyd Bentsen said something pretty stupid. I don’t remember what it was, and neither did anyone else a few days later because of how he handled it. I don’t make many mistakes, he said, but when I do, it’s a doozy. End of story. Big guys have no trouble admitting mistakes.
Mitt Romney stood by his com-ments because he believes them. He made them because of who he is. And who he is isn’t a person who can win a presidential election.

LETTERSUNH helping survey Alton residents for thoughts on school fix
Wicwas Grange event was well run and well attended; thanksTo the editor,
We, the Democratic candidates for State Rep. from Meredith and Gilford, want to thank the members of the Wicwas Lake Grange in Meredith for holding the candidate forum Wednes-day evening.
The event was well run and well attended and gave each candidate an opportunity to speak on issues of con-cern to local voters.
We hope there are additional simi-lar opportunities in the next weeks before the election. All of us want to make our views known and meet the voters in the new House District 2 so people can make well-informed choices in November.

To the editor,It’s time to look for the Alton School
District survey in your mailbox! This is not a piece of mail to be thrown away — it’s your chance to give your honest opinion about the various options to update Alton Central School. Look for “Alton School District” on the return address and take the time to fill out and return the survey — it should be arriving in your mailboxes the week of September 24-28 and should take only 5-10 minutes to complete.
This survey is the result of a lot of hard work and collaboration among the Alton School Board, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, the UNH Survey Center, and community members who provided valuable feedback and insight into what information the survey needed to gather. Having all of these groups working together has helped to create a survey that ensures all voices and perspectives are considered.
The purpose of this survey is to get current, accurate information from the community about the direction of our school facilities. The results will then help to guide the board in making the best possible decisions for the future of the building project. Here are a few key things you’ll need to know:
The survey is due by October 5.
There is no cost to complete the survey or return it — you will simply fold the paper with the UNH address on the outside, tape it together and put it back in the mail.
All results are confidential — there is no way for anyone to know how you responded.
Each household will only get one survey, but if you have more than one adult (over 18) in your home who would like to fill one out, you can con-tact the Survey Center and they will send you another one.
The survey will be analyzed quickly — the UNH team is planning on attending the October 22nd School Board meeting with the initial results.
Thanks in advance for your will-ingness to be a part of this important process — your input is important to the current and future education of Alton’s children.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Bill Lander, superin-tendent, at [email protected] or at 875-7890 or Sydney Leggett, principal of ACS, at [email protected] or 875-0367 or you can con-tact the UNH Survey Center directly at [email protected] or 862-4858.

Fox News & C-Span did much better job covering conventionsTo the editor,
Recently one of your readers head-lined his letter “Don’t Watch Fox News”!
Obviously this reader is totally unfamiliar with Fox News or just doesn’t want to hear any news that is contrary to his beliefs.
Fox News is truly balanced — when there is a controversy, there is a split screen shown with both political parties represented with a moderator. Each can have his/her say and the viewers are asked to make up their own minds. This is fair. Make up your OWN mind. If you want the WHOLE story — both sides — watch Fox News. Their news stories are as long as needed — not just snippets. Their schedule appears to be flexible so that if there is something going on at the moment, they stay with it and you get to see the entire story.
The reader is correct in that the main stream media ABC,CBS, and NBC are unfair — they are admittedly “in the tank” for Pres. Obama and reluctant
to offer any news to the contrary. They only show what they want you to see — never the whole story.
Did you try to watch the conventions on the main stream media? Didn’t happen. Fox and C-Span showed them both in their entirety — I thought C-Span did the better job. C-Span also has interesting programming that appears to be non-partisan. Q&A in the morning is informative.
When you tire of the vapid, mind-numbing programming of the main stream media, try some of these other stations and get other points of view. One needs to be fully informed. The Wall Street Journal seems to me the best source of printed news.
May I remind everyone that we all should see the films “2016” and “The Last Ounce of Courage” — unfortu-nately only shown in Concord. What are these other theaters afraid of?

LETTERSI can recall when Nixon used his offi ce to try & settle scores I am a hardworking, constituent service-minded state senatorTo the editor,
I’m replying to Mr. Brown’s letter in Wednesday’s paper.
I didn’t put myself on a pedestal. I’m not the one running for offi ce and asking people to vote for me. And I’m not the candidate who amazingly says that “I am proof of transparency in my campaign. You can ask me any ques-tion, and I will give you a direct answer.” I would be alarmed by this same consis-tent pattern of behavior if it was done by a Democratic candidate. Ethics and honesty are not partisan issues.
The things I listed before are facts on the record. As of today, Mr.Youssef still refuses to give a straight for-ward answer to them. Read the news articles in both Wednesday’s Laconia Daily Sun and the Concord Monitor. For example, he says he has never
missed a child support payment. But: he was not accused of that. The issue is that a judge found that he hid income so he could pay less than he owed. Mr. Youssef also says that several volun-teers in Franklin signed and attached personal notes to his campaign fl iers. Yet as The Daily Sun article points out, to date there are “no reports of anyone in Franklin receiving a note” signed by anyone besides the phan-tom “Ken,” who has never been identi-fi ed or come forward.
I’m old enough to remember the Watergate years when a president used his offi ce to try to settle his per-sonal scores and ran a campaign full of dirty tricks. I don’t think we want to see that in N.H.

Romney’s plan will slash investments in education & clean energyTo the editor,
Over the last 30 months, President Obama saw the creation of 4.6-mil-lion new jobs. In his next four years, economists predict businesses will create 12-million new private sector jobs. The president’s jobs plan will add more than one million jobs next year.
In his Democratic Convention accep-tance speech, the president asked the country to support a set of fi rm goals in the areas of: manufacturing, energy, education, national security, and the defi cit. Obama’s achievable plan will create jobs, expand opportunity, and create an economy that is solid.
In the Republican Convention, Gov-
ernor Romney spelled out goals that would slash investments in things like education, clean energy and research and reward companies that ship jobs overseas. He would also raise taxes on middle class families and small busi-nesses to support further tax cuts for the rich. Romney’s embrace of the Ryan Budget will eliminate over a million jobs and shred the safety net for seniors, the sick, the young, and the poor.
President Obama stated that: “Our problems can be solved. Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place”.

Okay doc, I’ll challenge you as I have challenged so many other liberal/pro-
gressives to give us a list of the “lies” told by Fox, and who specifi cally told that lie, and when. Readers, want to bet he can’t do it, will say something dumb like “there all lies” or we just won’t hear anything more about it or

To the editor,I am pleased to let the voters of Dis-
trict 2 know that I will be participat-ing in the following upcoming public forums hosted by very well-respected, non-partisan organizations:
Oct. 1st, 8 a.m –10 a.m., Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health, Beane Conference Center, Laconia
Oct. 5th, 7:30 a.m.–9 a.m., Belknap County Economic Development Coun-cil, Taylor Community, Laconia
Oct. 30th, 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m., NH Timberland Owners Association, Mer-edith Community Center, Meredith
It is my hope that the Democratic candidate for the Senate District 2 seat will attend as well.
I am a much different type of candi-date than my opponent — I come from Main Street, having served local com-munities and small businesses through economic development positions and as a town administrator. I have a strong, diverse history of community service, from my involvement with Community Caregivers to helping raise money for the Loon Preservation Committee, to serving on Meredith’s Capital Improve-ments Program Committee.
Another difference is that I believe that listening to voters while going door-to-door, attending public events and visiting the selectboards in District 2 is critical to understanding constitu-ents. Campaigning isn’t about talking at voters — it’s about listening to their concerns so that I can work to best rep-resent them, if I have the privilege of
serving as their state senator again.I am also a straight shooter. You know
where I stand — no sales or income tax, keep taxes and fees in check and keep spending to only what we can afford. I take my responsibilities on the Senate Finance Committee very seriously, balancing our needs with our wants because we know we just can’t spend our way into prosperity. Prosperity and opportunity come, rather, through allowing our small businesses the free-dom to create jobs. Reducing unneces-sary regulations was a good fi rst step.
Above all, I am a hardworking, con-stituent service-minded senator. That has and always will be my mission. When Northern Pass threatened to take away our private property rights I was there from the very beginning fi ghting to pro-tect our lands. Through countless hours of meetings, hearings and time spent in the North Country, HB-638 passed with bipartisan support, making it unambigu-ously clear that private property rights are paramount here in New Hampshire.
Campaign season here in New Hamp-shire can sometimes be full of unfortunate posturing and game-playing. It seems to come with the territory. But let me assure you that with me, what you see is what you get. My record of service and fi scal responsibility speaks for itself and I look forward to talking more about my vision for a stronger New Hampshire whether it is at a forum or on your door step.

LETTERSEvidence growing that Type 3 can be called ‘brain diabetes’
from preceding page
To the editor,With the festivities and carnival of
New Hampshire’s fair season under-way comes disturbing news from med-ical research. We always knew it was stupid to eat fried Twinkies, corn dogs and slushy this or that, but evidence is mounting eating junk can make us the proverbial basket case. Some medical researchers call Alzheimer’s disease “Type 3 diabetes.” Some writ-ers call it “brain diabetes.”
It is not hard to see why.First, eliminate Type 1 diabetes
from the discussion. It is an autoim-mune disease unrelated to food, junk or otherwise.
Type 2 diabetes, however, usually results from fat-laden, sugary foods and obesity. It accounts for about 95-percent of all diabetes as we cur-rently define the disease.
Among the effects of excess nutri-ents and weight on human biology, two are particularly germane to dia-betes:
— First, they impede the pancreas’s ability to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone (i.e., a chemical substance that controls and regulates cells and organs). It absorbs glucose from blood and delivers it where the body uses it to fuel organs such as the liver and muscles. Properly utilized by fat cells, glucose vitalizes the body.
— Second, they obstruct commu-nication between organs needing glucose and the insulin that should deliver it.
Either way, underutilized glucose builds up in the blood stream. Excess glucose, diminished pancreatic function and cell-signal interruption are the hall-marks of Type 2 diabetes. The disease is the seventh leading cause of death in America and can cause catastrophic health problems in the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels.
Although researchers cannot say they have proof positive, they now suspect — and have considerable evi-dence supporting their suspicions — a similar process is ongoing in the brain. The brain seems to produce its own insulin. As it does in the body, brain-produced insulin absorbs and distrib-utes glucose throughout the brain and regulates cell function, including com-munication among cells.
The loss of cognitive skills from brain malfunction is, by definition, dementia. While severity and the course of development vary with indi-viduals, the list of cognitive impair-ments associated with dementia is lengthy. It includes diminished ability to . . .
— Remember things,— Pay attention and stay on task,
— Apply reason and rational thought in decision-making, and
— Process information received through the senses.
Alzheimer’s disease is the worst of dementia’s lot. Patients can lose their humanity and the ability to interac-tion with reality. “Basket case” may be politically incorrect, but it is reason-ably descriptive.
Beta amyloid plaque is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Beta amyloid is a protein. When pieces of it clump, they form a sticky mass called plaque. The plaque adheres to nerve cell end-ings and interferes with cell-to-cell communication. Recent experiments creating insulin insufficiency in rat and rabbit brains produced amyloid plaque.
As with all new knowledge, there is yin and yang in the implications. First, the good news: if Alzheimer’s is Type 3 diabetes, the possibility of effective therapies is in the offing. Even better, there is some evidence — admittedly not a lot — some treat-ments may actually begin to reverse dementia.
The possibility of effective therapy is not just good news for Alzheimer’s patients and the people who love and care for them, but for society as a whole. There are currently about 5.4-million people with Alzheimer’s in the United States. The 2011 cost was $130-billion.
These numbers are at the heart of the bad implication from the emerg-ing knowledge. Since the early 1980s, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes has tripled as the rate of obesity in America approaches 40 percent. If the cause of diabetes and Alzheimer’s is common, public health fears the prevalence of dementia will follow the diabetes trend line.
There is a logic (unfortunately) to the expectation an Alzheimer’s epidemic lags, but will follow, the diabetes trend line. A few years ago, physicians usu-ally diagnosed Type 2 diabetes among people in their mid-40s. Since the late 1990s, however, the rate among teen-agers has tripled. Today, about one in four American teenagers is either pre-diabetic or diagnosed. Alzheimer’s, on the other hand, usually does not man-ifest before age 60.
Public health estimates there are 98-million Americans with signs of insulin resistance. If Alzheimer’s is truly Type 3 diabetes, each of them is a candidate for dementia. If only a third develops Alzheimer’s disease, the annual cost to the nation would be $786-billion.

To the editor,Finally, Mitt Romney’s 2011 taxes
have been released. Big deal and I wouldn’t even bother to check them
Thanks Mr. Romney; I am part of the 47% and I need the moneythat closely as any mistakes are prob-ably minor and would make little dif-ference in his tax bill. He did pay about $1.9-million after donating $30-mil-lion, with a tax rate of 14.1-percent. Good enough, no problem with that but the earlier returns would be inter-esting. I doubt we will ever see them but I’m sure they would be an accoun-tant’s dream.

LETTERSWant to know why state budget has increased so much? ‘Boots’To the editor,
During the terms of Governor Mel-drim Thomson, FY 74 ($316,013,448), FY 75, FY 76, FY 77, FY 78, FY 79 ($530,603,268); the state budgets averaged about $423-million a year. Adjusting each year, year by year, for inflation, and that total by the increase in population from about 1 million to about 1.3 million gives a total adjusted current state budget of about $2.5-bil-lion a year. Adding the approximately $800-million in state funds now being given to local schools gives a total of about $3.5-billion a year of relatively necessary state spending.
If $3.5-billion is enough to run the state, how come the current state budget is $5.5-billion? Where does the extra $2-billion go?
A French proverb states, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
For example, in Europe, in the Fall of 1944, in WW II, the Army realized that the riflemen only had summer-time boots. So the Army ordered suffi-cient LL Bean (warm and waterproof) “Maine Shoe Packs” to issue one pair to every riflemen, as the riflemen were never able to get in out of the weather at all, when they were “on line” which they almost always were. However for every 3,000 men who were riflemen there were 30,000 men in the various Army Headquarters Units in Europe. Some of the men in the Army Headquarters Units, all of them serving in complete safety, and only rarely exposed to the weather, also would like to have a pair of warmer boots, so of the 30,000 men in the headquarters units of the Army in Europe, 3,000 of them took a pair of nice warm boots, only one pair, but one by one, each took a pair, until all 3,000 pair of boots were gone, and none were left to issue to any of the riflemen. The men in Army Headquarters, “took care of themselves first”.
The results of the men in the Army Headquarters “taking care of them-selves first” resulted in those who were riflemen having “trench foot”. “Trench-foot” (basically a form of frozen feet) resulted in “gangrene” and in those days the only “cure” for “gangrene” was amputation, the amputation usu-ally of both feet. In my division alone, on averages, every rifleman — every rifleman — had both feet amputated, along with another thousand rifle-men who were their replacements also having to have their feet ampu-tated. Because of those “non-Battle” losses, General Patton pulled each of our three regiments off line and gave his lecture to each in my division. He was furious (and if you would like to know what General Patton was like when he was furious, he was certainly impressive) that on averages, every rifleman in my division and 1,000 of
their replacements had unnecessar-ily become casualties from having had both feet amputated, He demanded, and demanded in words that left no room for being misunderstood, that our officers do the work necessary to have a dry pair of socks sent up to we riflemen every day. He did it in words that were effective. It was effective to the point that since then, at our divi-sion reunions, those who were our offi-cers noticeably cringe at the mention of General Patton by name. On the other hand General Patton was, essentially, the only officer who “gave two hoots”, or cared about the well-being of those of us who were riflemen. From this you might understand that we who were riflemen for General Patton, “stormed the gates of Hell” for General Patton, in some cases little areas of the Siegfried Line changed hands something like 15 times before we finally held. We not only “stormed the gates of Hell” for General Patton then, if he were here to leads us we would do so again.
In the state, where do the extra $2-billion dollars go? Those in the state headquarters, agencies spend the money on themselves. In general those who have done so, have had no more compassion on the students at UNH, or the state citizens who are “too little to care about” than did their counterparts in the WW II Army Headquarters did with their “taking care of themselves first”.
Of the things that the various state agencies have done is to take the money awarded to their departments for a nec-essary use, such as keeping tuition costs at UNH low, and to use it to pay them-selves salaries three times and up to even seven times more than the salary paid to the governor (On Tuesday August 14,2012; the Nashua Telegraph ran an article with the exact salaries of the many state employees who make more than the governor does).
Secondly the normal “span of control” is about 20 subordinates to one supervi-sor. However many of the state agencies have doubled up on supervisors to the point where they have supervisors with only two or three subordinates, result-ing in dozens upon dozens of unnec-essary supervisors. Between their excessive salaries and the excessive number of supervisors they have hired, they have spent, dollar by dollar, some $2-billion more in state spending than is needed to run the state. Those in the “headquarters” agencies have “taken care of themselves first”, in that respect, they have been just as callously indif-ferent to the well being of the students at UNH and the people of New Hamp-shire as were those in the Army Head-quarters in Europe, were also callously indifferent to the well-being of we Rifle-men, all those many, many years ago.
The problems with (excessive spend-ing for themselves) can be corrected by taking care for whom you vote for in November. Enough of the $2-billion excess spending can be redirected (from those who spent it excessively on them-selves), to reducing the tuition at UNH, and to other of the real needs of the people of the State of N.H.
If you wish to help, make sure you vote in November.

Wanted: Foster homes for some shelter dogsLACONIA — While the New Hampshire Humane
Society appreciates its supporters who contribute volunteer hours or donations of cash or materials, the non-profit organization has a special fondness for its corps of foster homes — residences which take in animals who, for one or another reason, need some time in a home setting before they can be per-manently adopted through the shelter. While there are a dozen foster homes Marylee Gorham, devel-opment director at the Humane Society, can call to place cats, there are only two currently on the roster of canine foster homes — and she’d like to have more.
“It’s the best thing you can do,” said Gorham. “You’ve helped that dog become whole again.”
When dogs are placed at a foster home, the
Humane Society retains ownership of the animal and will provide all necessary medical care. The fos-tering household is expected to provide the dog with food, toys and other accoutrements.
There are three general reasons why the New Hampshire Humane Society would place a dog in a foster home. In many cases, the animal might have a behavioral or psychological problem, aggression excluded, that could be corrected through careful and attentive training. For example, a foster home might work with a dog to address separation anxi-ety, fear of certain people or sounds, or a lack of socialization.
Sometimes, the shelter finds in its care an elderly dog that fails to attract the interest of potential adopters. “They tend to languish at the shelter,” said

Gorham. In these circumstances, a foster home would serve as a comfort-able and caring place for the dog to live out its remaining months.
And then there’s the case of dogs such as “Ivan,” a two year-old male thought to be a landseer Newfound-land, which came to the shelter as a stray picked up by a local police depart-ment. The dog has proven himself an escape artist, mastering the latches of his kennel at the shelter and learning how to open all the doors at the build-ing. He was briefl y adopted by a local family, only to injure his rear legs after jumping out of a second-story window of his adoptive home. That family returned the dog to the shelter, which cared for his injuries. However, he’s now wearing a green cast on a rear leg. “We would much rather he recuperate at a home,” said Gorham.
Ivan got that chance yesterday after-noon. The Allain family of Laconia, after registering with the Humane Society as a foster home, stopped by to see how “Ivan” would get along with their seven year-old Labrador mix “Jax.” The meet-and-greet went swimmingly, so mother Shannon and daughters Jocelyn and Jillian were pleased to bring welcome a new, albeit temporary, member of the family.
They planned to take him yard sail-ing, then to the Laconia High School homecoming parade, and on a family camping trip the following week. They already have a costume planned for Trick-Or-Treating. Along the way,
he’ll bond with his human caretakers and will learn proper behavior when in various settings.
“I’ve always said I was going to do it eventually,” Shannon said about fostering. “It’s something to do to help the dogs.”
Jocelyn, who was already enjoying “Ivan’s” company, admitted she would “probably” fi nd it diffi cult to let her new dog go once his permanent home is found. However, her mother added, “We get a new one that needs us more than he does.”
Gorham, who has personally fos-tered a legion of dogs, said that while letting a fostered animal go can be “wrenching,” it is also validating to see an animal, which once was unadopt-able due to one quirk or another, be taken home by a happy adopter. “It’s a really rewarding thing to know you’ve helped straighten out that twisted whisker and give the dog a happy life.”
In foster home candidates, Gorham looks for a safe and secure environ-ment and people that are dog-savvy and will have the time and patience to work with the dog. The process includes an application and a home visit, though Gorham stressed that modest homes are as good as man-sions. “We don’t care about where people live as long as you have a safe, secure home.”
Those interested in learning more about becoming a foster home should call Gorham at 524-3252 extension 309 or email her at [email protected].
LACONIA — The Smith Track at Opechee Parlk will be closed until fur-ther notice beginning today, Tuesday, September 25 while stretches of the circuit are resurfaced.
Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, said yesterday that Tracklite Systems of Andover, Mass., the fi rm that originally installed and has since resurfaced the track will make the necessary repairs. He said that two or three repairs are required virtually every year, but never have there been so many failures in the surface. Dunleavy said that only the fl awed sections of the track will be resurfaced, but explained that because the work can only proceed in dry conditions and at certain temper-atures he hesitates to indicate when
Smith Track closed for repairit will be be complete. “The contrac-tor assured me he can work through October,” he said.
Last month approximately a third of the track was closed following the discovery of numerous places where the running surface had “bubbled” as it parted from the underlying base. The track had been resurfaced in August 2011. After examining and evaluating the track, the contractor concluded that moisture intruded and became trapped between the two layers breaking the bond between the asphalt base and rubberized surface, causing the latter to lift or “bubble.” The entire track from just before the southeast curve to just beyond the sprint chute has been roped off.

“As we were running the numbers, it became very clear ... that the funding just wasn’t there in terms of what the state had put aside for charter schools,” Raffi o said. “It put us in an awkward dilemma because conceptually we think it’s the right thing to do ... but I didn’t want to put the founders of the pro-posed 15 new ones in a situation where things were approved and then state funding didn’t come through.”
Erdbrink was one of about 20 people who attended a strategy meeting Monday at the offi ces of a nonprofi t group called Network for Educational Opportunity, which was set up under the state’s new education tax credit program. Under that program, businesses get tax credits for donating to scholarship funds that help children pay for private school tuition or home-schooling.
“It’s really about these parents and families who’ve created these amaz-ing education options for their kids and communities,” said Kate Baker, the group’s executive director. “So to pull the rug out from under those families, that’s the error in judgment right there. ... They’re supposed to approve the schools based on merit, and then the Legislature is in charge of fi nding the money.”
Raffi o, however, said the board made its decision very carefully, dis-cussing it over the course of several months and checking with the attor-ney general’s offi ce to confi rm that its duties include evaluating the fi nan-cial aspects of each application. Raffi o said he has been receiving hundreds of emails a day from charter school proponents, and while he expects

an argument that ensued between James Spanos, 48, of 15 Lakeview Drive and a woman at Vacation Escape.
Affi davits submitted by Meredith Police to the 4th District Court, Laconia Division yesterday said that police went to the cabin colony at 9:15 p.m. Friday.
They said the woman had threatened to call the police after she heard about the theft from Paws Antiques, which is less .2 of a mile away from Vacation Escape but in Laconia, and wanted to know more about .22-carat gold ring she had seen him wearing.
She told police he refused to explain the ring and she ran to the cabin col-ony’s front desk to report what she thought was the theft. Police said Spanos tried to stop her from report-ing it, but when she continued to the offi ce he packed his belongings and left the rented room.
Meredith Police secured the room and sent Spanos’s description to other police departments. Police also said there was an electronic bench warrant from dis-trict court for failing to appear on a pre-vious drug charge.
Center Harbor Police Chief Mark Chase made the fi rst contact with
Spanos who he said ini-tially gave him a false name and told him he didn’t have any identifi cation.
Chase said Spanos was wearing sheathed knife on his belt and said he secured it before checking him for additional weapons. During the pat down for additional weapons, Chase allegedly found a second knife and a bag fi lled with “a number of high-end rings and other

jewelry.”He was initially arrested by Chase
for the bench warrant and brought the the Meredith Police Department.
The owner of Paws Antiques iden-tifi ed the jewelry and Spanos was charged with one felony count of receiving stolen property.
Meredith Police said Spanos has an “extensive criminal record” with con-victions in Florida, New York and New Hampshire. In arguing for $50,000 cash bail, Lt. Prosecutor Keith True argued he list his employment at self-employed and owns no property in New Hampshire.
Laconia Police said Paws Antiques was burgled Tuesday night and the burglary was reported to them Wednesday morning.

to college in New Hampshire might give up their right to vote because of concerns about registering a car and getting a New Hampshire driver’s license even when they knew they would leave after graduation,” said Joan Flood Ashwell, election law spe-cialist for the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire.
Republican House Speaker Bill O’Brien criticized the ruling, saying it takes away the rights of state resi-dents by allowing non-residents to decide presidential, state and local elections.
“When individuals fi nd themselves in New Hampshire and know they will leave, they should not vote here,” he said. “Legislating otherwise from the bench to say there are two classes of voters — all of us who reside in New Hampshire and those residents of other states who choose to vote here because we are a battleground state — is judi-cial activism of the worst sort.”
Noting that the legislation had the support of Secretary of State Bill Gard-ner, Senate President Peter Bragdon said it was unfortunate that the ruling made it easier for out-of-state residents to vote in New Hampshire.

cubs are hairless, their eyes are closed and they’re about the size of a stick of butter. Their mothers weigh about 1,000 times more.
Native to China, giant pandas have long been the face of the movement to preserve endangered species. A few thousand are believed to remain in the wild, and there are a few hundred in captivity.
Four American zoos have pandas, and several cubs have been born in the U.S., but the bears at the National Zoo are treated like royalty. The zoo was given its fi rst set of pandas in 1972 as a gift from China to com-memorate President Richard Nixon’s historic visit to the country.
Thousands of people had watched an online video feed of the cub’s mother, 14-year-old Mei Xiang, hoping to catch a glimpse of the newborn during its few days of life. Fans from around the
country and the world shared their sympathy on social media sites, and many said they shared an emotional connection with the burly, black-and-white bear.
Since the cub’s death, Mei Xiang has started eating and interacting with her keepers again. She slept Sunday night while cradling a plastic toy in an apparent show of maternal instinct, Kelly said.
Kelly Parsons of Alexandria, Va., who brought her two young sons to see the pandas Monday, said she felt for Mei Xiang.
“It sounds like the mom is in mourn-ing. Whether you’re a parent to an animal or a human being, it’s just so sad, the loss of a child,” she said.
Suzan Murray, the zoo’s chief vet-erinarian, cautioned that while it may appear the panda is grieving as she cradles the toy, Mei Xiang is a wild animal and her thoughts and emo-tions are not well understood.
Mei Xiang’s only cub, a male named Tai Shan, was born in 2005 and became the zoo’s star attraction before he was returned to China in 2010. Since his birth, there had been fi ve unsuccessful attempts to impregnate Mei Xiang, and zoo offi cials had con-sidered swapping her and her male partner, Tian Tian, for another pair.

GILFORD — The New England Deaconess Association (NEDA), the owner of Wesley Woods, a retirement community of single-family homes, has petitioned in Belknap County Superior to appeal the decisions of the Board of Selectmen refusing to grant the development an exemption and an abatement of property taxes.
Attorney Paul Fitzgerald, who repre-sents the NEDA, said yesterday, that the petition was filed because state law stipulates that the denial of the abate-ment must be appealed by September 1. He said the NEDA and the town con-tinue to seek a settlement of their dif-ferences and that the litigation would not proceed until those negotiations reached an impasse. “No one has rung down the curtain yet,” he remarked.
In appealing the denial of an abate-ment, the NEDA notes that in the tax year beginning on April 1, 2011, the town assessed the 22 residential units for $4,019,780, which was $1,596,280 more than the value of an appraisal commissioned by the association.
At the same time, the NEDA’s asked the court to find that it is a charitable corporation or institution entailed to a property tax exemption and to deter-mine the appropriate value of the property so that a “payment in lieu of taxes” (PILOT) can be calculated in keeping with state law.
The dispute between began in 2010 when the NEDA requested an exemp-tion from property tax as a religious institution (affiliated with the Meth-odist Church), which was denied. Ear-lier this year the NEDA renewed its request, claiming that as a charitable organization providing housing at less than market rents it is entitled to pay the town 10-percent of the shelter rent charged to residents or the town por-tion of the municipal tax rate, which-ever is less. In 2011, Wesley Woods paid $73,119 in property taxes. In May, the board again denied the request on and in August reaffirmed its decision.
Attorney Rod Dyer, who repre-sented the NEDA, contended that since the debt service on the units of $300,000 exceeds the rental income from the units of $182,000, a subsidy from the NEDA provides housing at below market rents. “If it were not for the continuing contribution provided by the NEDA, there is no possibility that the community would remain in operation,” he said. Furthermore, he noted that eight of the homes are occupied by retired pastors, whose
Wesley Woods files appeal of tax exemption decision to protect its legal position as talks with Gilford continue
housing costs are supported by the Preachers Aid Society, which pays the NEDA $550 a month for three units, $676 for four units and $700 for one unit, based on the financial circum-stances of the tenants.
Dyer stressed that the NEDA is regis-tered as a charitable institution in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. In New Hampshire the organization is regulated by the Insurance Department and the Charitable Trust Division of the Department of Justice. Moreover, he said that the organization provides a public service by offering care and housing to the elderly. The rental income the NEDA receives, Dyer said, has no bearing on its charitable purpose and the ownership and operation of Wesley Woods does not generate a profit for the organization. At most, he noted, the NEDA would break even if the remaining 18 units at Wesley Woods were built and occupied.
The selectmen pointedly declined to explain their decision. But, town admin-istrator Scott Dunn wrote to Reverend Herbert Taylor, president and chief exec-utive officer of Deaconess Abundant Life Communities, an affiliate of the Method-ist Church, to outline the town’s reason-ing. He conceded that data presented by Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic indicated rents at Wesley Woods were less than market rents in Gilford, but noted that the calculation assumed that between 90-percent and 100-percent of the entrance fee required to secure a unit would ultimately be refunded. Since no fees have been refunded, the board found that they should not be discounted but included in the housing costs, making rents at Wesley Woods comparable to market rents.
Moreover, even if the entrance fees are refunded on the death or depar-ture of the tenant, Dunn held that the financial arrangement failed to demonstrate a charitable purpose. Instead, since the fees paid no interest to the tenant, he suggested that they represented interest free loans to the benefit of the NEDA.
Finally, Dunn pointed out that the Preachers Aid Society reimburses the NEDA for the cost of housing the eight pastors at rates comparable to those the other tenants at Wesley Woods and insisted there was no evi-dence that the NEDA was providing charitable housing for them. In addi-tion, The Preachers Aid Society paid the NEDA $185,000 to reserve the eight units, which was used to build them. Even if the money is refunded, Dunn said it represented an interest free loan to the NEDA.

in the family’s Braintree home as she tried to unload her father’s gun. But the Alabama shootings prompted a new investigation and charges. David Traub, a spokesman for Norfolk Dis-trict Attorney Michael Morrissey in Massachusetts, said Monday evening that Morrissey expects to make an announcement by the end of the week.
Bishop killed her boss, biology department chairman Gopi Padila, plus professors Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel Johnson. Associate professor Joseph Leahy, staff aide Stephanie Monticciolo and assistant professor Luis Cruz-Vera were shot and wounded.
Leahy said he was satisfi ed with the verdict and life sentence, but no amount of remorse by Bishop could change what she’d done.
“She has just sort of ceased to exist for me,” he told reporters after the brief trial.
A police investigator testifi ed that Bishop initially denied having any-thing to do with the rampage. And during the trial, Bishop shook her head anytime the judge or prosecutors described the killings as intentional.
District Attorney Rob Broussard said Bishop’s reaction in court didn’t make sense.
“You can’t take a loaded 9 mm and hold it inches away from human beings’ heads and tell me you didn’t mean to do that,” said Broussard.
Investigator Charlie Gray also said police believe Bishop opened fi re during the faculty meeting because she was angry over being denied tenure, which effectively ended her career at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
“She would say, ‘It didn’t happen. I wasn’t there. It wasn’t me,’” Gray said.
Bishop wore a red jail uniform in court and was shackled at the feet, seated between two attorneys at the defense table.
Also in court, sitting behind pros-ecutors, were relatives of the people killed in the rampage.
The only other witness to testify was Debra Moriarity, now the chairman of biological sciences at UAH. She testi-fi ed about how a routine Friday after-noon faculty meeting turned into a scene of carnage with no warning.
Moriarty testifi ed that Amy Bishop sat unusually silent during the nearly hourlong faculty meeting, during which discussions ran from a spring open house to plans for the follow-ing fall. People were seated around a crowded conference table in a small room on a chilly, overcast day, she said.
Moriarity said she glanced down at a piece of paper on the table. “And there was a loud bang,” she said.
Moriarity said more shots followed in quick succession without Bishop ever saying a word. Moriarity said she was looking directly at Bishop when she shot professor Maria Ragland Davis, who was killed instantly while still seated at the table.
Moriarity said she dove under the table for safety and tried to grab Bish-op’s legs, but the woman stepped out of her grasp. “I was saying, ‘Stop, Amy, stop. Don’t do this. I’ve helped you before, I’ll help you again.’”
Moriarity said Bishop pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. She said Bishop continued trying to shoot her in a hall outside, but the gun had jammed.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco may soon give new meaning to the word “downsizing.”
Supervisors are set to vote on Tues-day on a proposed change to the city’s building code that would allow con-struction of among the tiniest apart-ments in the country.
Under the plan, new apartments could be as small as 220 square feet (a little more than double the size of some prison cells), including a kitchen, bathroom and closet, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Current regulations require the living room alone to be that size.
Schematics for 300-square-foot units planned for San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood include window seats that turn into spare beds and beds that turn into tables.
Proponents say the smaller apart-ments would provide a cheaper option for the city’s many single residents, who have been priced out of the rental market as the region experiences a resurgent technology industry.
San Francisco apartments rented for an average of $2,734 in June, up 13 percent from a year ago, according to the research fi rm, RealFacts.
The micro-units, in contrast, are expected to rent for $1,200 to $1,500
San Francisco set to OK apartments as small as U.S. record 220 square feet
a month, San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener told the Los Angeles Times. Wiener drafted the legislation for the smaller apartments.
It allows them to accommodate up to two people and requires an addi-tional 100 square feet of space for each occupant above that number.
“Although in our fantasy world everyone would live in a single-fam-ily home or a huge spacious fl at, the reality of life is that not everyone can afford that,” Wiener said.
But critics counter that the units wouldn’t help families and could boost population density, straining public transit and other city services.
“This has to be a pilot project and allow for further study before we end up like Singapore,” said Sara Shortt, executive director of the tenants’ rights group, Human Rights Commit-tee of San Francisco.
Singapore authorities recently raised minimum dwelling sizes because of concerns about congestion. Some critics want San Francisco to follow the example of New York City and fi rst test a small number of the units. New York City’s micro-units also have a higher minimum-size requirement.

LACONIA — Bank of New Hampshire, the oldest and largest independent bank in the state, recently held its annual meeting of corporators and reported solid growth in deposits, loans and capital for the year ending June 30. K. Mark Primeau, president and CEO, reported that the bank’s assets now total a record $1.12-billion and deposits grew to $879-mil-lion. The bank continued to support thousands of New Hampshire families and businesses as the bank’s loan portfolio reached a record $759-million, which represents growth of 5-percent despite the slow economy.
Bank of New Hampshire remained strong with capital and reserves totaling over $130-million and its leverage capital ratio reached 9.26-percent.
“The bank is committed to continue to operate the bank prudently so that all of our customers can rely on a safe and secure local bank for their financial needs,” said Primeau.
In the past year, Bank of New Hampshire opened two new full services offices in Manchester and Rochester as well as a deposit taking, image enabled ATM in the Shaw’s Plaza in Tilton.
Primeau stated that the bank continued to focus on its local communities. “As New Hampshire’s local bank, we invested more than $650,000 in over 500 local community non-profit and civic organizations throughout the state. We believe strongly in giving

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple Inc. said Monday that it sold more than 5 million iPhone 5s in the three days since its launch, fewer than analysts had expected.
Apple shares fell $9.30, or 1.3 percent, to close at $690.79 on Monday. The shares hit an all-time high of $705.07 Friday as the phone went on sale in the U.S., Germany, France, Japan and five other countries.
The sales tally is a record for any phone, but it beats last year’s iPhone 4S launch only by a small margin. Apple said then that it sold 4 million phones
Apple says more than 5-million iPhone 5s already soldin the first three days.
Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White expected Apple to sell 6 million to 6.5 million iPhone 5s in the first three days. He said the shortfall was largely due to limited supply. White said the phone was sold out at 80 to 85 percent of the U.S. Apple stores he and his team contacted Sunday evening, and the ones that were still available were mostly Sprint models.

OUCH! What is Causing that Toothache? Toothaches occur when the pulp (or “nerve”) inside your tooth gets irritated, infected, or damaged beyond repair. It is important for you to have a professional oral examination to determine the cause of the toothache. Toothaches are caused by decay, infection in the pulp, gum disease, clenching or grinding the teeth (bruxism), and trauma to the tooth. Many conditions feel like a toothache, but in fact are caused by other things (such as sinus disease or angina). Your dentist will work through a program of diagnostic tests and x-rays to determine what is causing the pain. With a correct diagnosis, you can then discuss treatment options and decide on what treatment best fits your needs. A tooth that is sensitive to cold or sweets but does not have constant pain is often treated successfully with a filling, but a tooth that is sensitive to hot things or one with constant pain is usually not going to respond well to a filling. These teeth have irreversible damage to the pulp, and the pulp must be removed or the patient will continue to suffer. Extraction is one option, but many patients prefer to keep the tooth. That is made possible by root canal therapy and some restorative treatment delivered shortly thereafter. Toothaches generally don’t get better without treatment, so if you get a toothache, seek help without delay. The best advice is to see your dentist on a preventative basis, since potential problems can often be detected BEFORE pain is a factor. That’s a smart way to avoid an emergency situation which is usually more costly.

LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room will host The Burners: Gypsy Jazz Trio at 8 p.m. on Thurs-day, September 27. Admission is $10 and the event is BYOB.
The Burners offer “a patented brand of Gypsy Americana played with fire and sweat.”
Virtuosic rhythms on acoustic guitar, mandolin and upright bass are complimented by cafe accordion, hot violin and harmonized vocals. Captivating lyrics, burning tempos, and diverse instrumentation define the band’s music. The crisp sonority of each song invokes yips, hol-lers and devilish dancing from audiences everywhere. The Burners high-spirited, indie folk sound offers a fla-vorful stew of fiery, passionate and foot-stomping music.
The Burners formed in 2011 as a vehicle for guitarist and singer Ryan Flaherty, who had written a handful of tunes rooted in Americana and Gypsy Jazz styles. He began play-
ing these tunes with jazz and tango guitarist Mike Arciero and bassist Duane Edwards from Portland, ME.
The mix of folk and gypsy styles became the back-bone of The Burners original style. They released Flaherty’s first album “Hungry Moon” in 2011. Soon after accordionist Laura Balladur, vocalist Jennie Backstrom and violinist Phil Bloch came on board to round out The Burners sound.
On February 26 this year, the musicians recorded their album “Here Comes Everyone” in a matter of three hours at Acadia Studios in Portland, ME. The outcome was amazing. In a few hours the band had recorded a stellar live album that sounded like it had taken months to record. The band released the album the next month and it was accepted into Pan-dora Radio’s genome by the end of March, 2012.

Quilt to be raffled. This queen-sized quilt, “Grandma’s Choice,” will be raffled at the 35th Annual Harvest of Quilts by the Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild. The 96 x 96-inch quilt was pieced by guild mem-bers and machine quilted by Michelle Plourde. The drawing will be at 4 p.m. Sunday, with the winner not needed to be present to win. (Courtesy photo)
LACONIA — The Con-ference Center at Lake Opechee Inn will be trans-formed by an exciting and colorful display of quilts as the 35th annual Har-vest of Quilts is presented by the Belknap Mill Quil-ters Guild on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30.
More than 200 member quilts and special exhibits are among the features of the show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at the center, 62 Doris Ray Court, Laconia.
There will be two raffle items, one a quilt pieced by members and machine stitched by Michelle Plourde and the other a sewing machine donated by Bittersweet Fab-rics of Penacook. Drawing will take place Sunday at 4 p.m., the winner not required to be present.
The event, long in the planning stages by an ambitious and dedicated committee chaired by Ann Rampulla, is a favorite attraction looked forward to and attended by hundreds each year. Attracting quilt lovers from the area as well as Lakes Region visitors, it is a highlight of the guild’s year and the principal source of raising funds which benefit the many charities it supports across the area.
Rampulla is enthusiastic about the show as final arrangements fall into place as the event nears.
“Our quilt show is a labor of love put together by more than 100 members,” she said. “We invite the public to come enjoy the beautiful quilts, have a delicious lunch of homemade soups, chowders, chil-lies and sandwiches in our Harvest Cafe and maybe learn a new skill at our dem-onstrations table...and don’t forget shop-ping. It’s going to be a great weekend.”
A special exhibit this year is Keep-sake Quilting’s Challenge Collection, showing first and second place win-ners from 10 different contests.
Rampulla stated visitors can par-ticipate in a make-your-own scrap bag
event at the Keepsake Quilting table where an assortment of the latest prints, Balis and solids left over from cutting the Keepsake Quilting kits and fabric Medleys TM, will be available. Participants choose their own fabric scraps and see how many scraps they can fold, roll and squish into a 8x10 zip-closure bag and still manage to zip it up. The scrap bags have been a huge hit at Keepsake’s annual summer sale in Center Harbor. Each bag will sell for $5.
American Quilter’s Society Certi-fied Quilt Appraiser Julie Crossland will be present on Saturday to provide information on quilt collections, antique quilts, newly made quilts and art quilts.
Demonstrations of various quilting skills will be given on both days. Hand made items will be on sale at the BMQG Boutique, new to the show for the first time this year. Vendors will be on site, there will be a penny sale and lunch in the Harvest Cafe will be available.
Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students.
The conference center is wheelchair accessible. There will be free parking and shuttle bus service. Bus tours are welcome.
E-mail inquiries may be made to [email protected] or to the website, bmqg.org.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve created a life-enhancing habit. Because you put in the effort required to make an activity something you do automati-cally, what once felt like a duty is now more like a reprieve. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some-times good ideas are bad ideas turned inside out. Instead of accepting what-ever is being presented to you, you’ll bend it in your mind, shaping the raw material into something that is useful to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll feel yourself getting used to a change you made a few weeks back. It’s almost time to take the training wheels off in this regard. Let go and trust yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Anyone involved in your training and education will be impressed with how well you assimilate new information. You will make the most of all instruc-tions, improving as you go. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know where you stand with a partner. You’re well aware that you have strengths that compensate for the other person’s lesser strengths, and vice versa. You’re not indebted; the arrangement is mutu-ally satisfying. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your willpower will be stronger than usual, but don’t waste it by allowing yourself to be bombarded with temptations and enticements. Go where you’re likely to experience peace and quiet, and you’ll accomplish something remarkable. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll feel the tug of Saturn as you explore a relationship that has much to teach you. Early experiences of tenderness and love will affect your relationships, as will the less pleasant occurrences of
your youth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have you ever been accused of ruthless-ness? It can certainly be a winning quality. As you buckle down for another determined endeavor, those around you sense the power of Mars surging through your efforts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll grapple with that person who is uncomfortably in your life. There will always be something more to do in this relationship, so you may as well sur-render yourself to its “work in progress” status. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As the old saying goes, the good ol’ days weren’t always good -- but it sure is easy to remember them as such when faced with today’s modern-day prob-lem! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Given your current level of sophisti-cation, you may wonder whether it’s still possible to have a day fi lled with beauty, poetry, innocence and carefree play. The moon in your sign makes it so. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a different perspective now, but you still remember the naive emotional associations of your younger days. Residual feelings from your childhood may sway the action. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 25). Your word is gold both in business and in your personal life. Because you put action behind what you say and honor your agreements, you’ll be given an honorable responsibility. Income picks up in November. December brings a romantic vow. March brings family together to celebrate. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 22, 39 and 13.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: When I was little, my mother would insist, “I’m not your mother.” I’d be convinced and start to cry. Then she would say, “I’m just kidding.” As a 6-year-old, I was afraid of the vacuum. She unplugged it and told me it was OK to sit on it. When I did, she turned it on and scared me to death. When I was a teen, she said, “No one will ever want you.” When I reached my 20s, she told me I was an unwanted pregnancy. My entire life, I’ve been the butt of her “jokes.” Any kind-ness from her comes with the price tag of putting up with her nastiness. Honestly, I feel bullied. Nothing I say or do is good enough. The days of expecting her approval are long past, and I know she will never give me the positive acceptance I crave. But where do I go from here? -- Grown Up Dear Grown Up: No stable person would play such sadistic practical jokes on her child. It’s possible this is the way your mother was raised or, just as likely, she suffers from some type of mental illness. Knowing this might help you respond to her sickness with a more distant compassion, instead of making it a refl ection on you or your relationship. Please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org) at 1-800-950-NAMI (1-800-950-6264) for more information. Dear Annie: I have recently been invited to a wedding where the only gifts requested were contributions to the hon-eymoon. Included in the wedding invitation was a card with directions for accessing the “Honeymoon Fund” website so I could make a donation. On the website were explicit instruc-tions from the couple saying they’d like the donation made prior to the wedding so they could plan ahead. The website fund is broken down into specifi c items ($20 for breakfast in bed, $80 for a couple’s massage or $100 toward a down pay-ment on a house). All I had to do was click “donate here.” Am I old-fashioned, or is it still considered tacky to tell
your guests that you want money (and only money) and ask for it in advance? If I donate online, do I still give a card to the couple at the wedding? I’ve asked a few younger people about this, and it sounds as if such things are becoming more commonplace. Please rush your answer so I can donate early. -- Bring Back Wed-ding Etiquette Dear Etiquette: Yes, it’s still tacky to tell your guests what to give you. Of course, bridal registries were created to make it easier for people to help the couple stock their new home. And since many couples live together these days, they do not need sheets, towels or dishes, hence the honeymoon websites. But a honeymoon used to be a personal, romantic gift from the bride and groom to each other. Aunt Mildred shouldn’t be paying for it. We say get them whatever you want. Dear Annie. May I comment on “Undecided Mom,” who can’t decide what mementos to give her children? Give the kids everything. I, too, saved our children’s report cards, notes to the teacher when they played hooky, school photos, Boy Scout and 4-H awards, everything. When the last one graduated from col-lege, I made a scrapbook for each child. I captioned the pho-tos and trimmed the newspaper clippings. Dates, occasions and names were handwritten below. The entire project took several months to complete, and it was a walk through mem-ory lane and a labor of love. It was their Christmas present that year. The looks on their faces were priceless. These scrapbooks are now among their most prized possessions and are shared with their friends. They are still enjoying them 15 years later. Yes, there were a few embarrassing things included, but that was part of the fun. -- Burwell, Neb.

HOLDERNESS — North Country high-school students interested in rap poetry or in dance (hip-hop and contemporary) are invited sign up for free workshops with members of Bos-ton-based Anna Myer and Dancers in advance of the company’s perfor-mance of “Hoop Suite” in November. “Hoop Suite” is a rap opera that fuses modern dance with basketball moves, hip-hop, rap and spoken word.
Workshops will take place on Monday, October 1 and Thursday, November 1 in North Conway (day-time workshops at Kennett High School, evening workshops at 6:30 p.m. at the Jeanne Limmer Dance Center) and Tuesday, October 2 and Friday, November 2 at 3:30 p.m. at the Holderness School.
During the workshops students will be guided through a series of writing or movement challenges focused on developing critical skills for communication, collaboration and self-expression. The workshop envi-ronment will be both nurturing and demanding — with respect for mul-tiple viewpoints, cultures and artistic
styles. Participants will learn how to create a personal vocabulary (poetry) and choreographic language (move-ment) by exploring relevant issues in their own lives and communities. The spoken word material can serve as inspiration for creation of a dance piece, and the resulting collaborative work can be shared at the end of the workshops; some participants may also wish to present their work at the public performances.
The poetry workshops will be led by Tu Phan, a student at Northeastern University; his poetry, inspired by hip hop, rap, and satirical, historical and spiritual literature, focuses on socioeco-nomic, environmental and political con-cepts. Dance workshops will be led by Anna Myer (“a master choreographer who is always full of surprises and new ideas”) and company members Adri-ane Rayton and Karina Davis. Adriane trained at the Boston Arts Academy and Connecticut College and Karina, a hip-hop dancer, studied at the Alvin Ailey School and Williams College.
No experience in the artforms is required. Those interested can contact
Frumie Selchen of the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire at 323-7302, email [email protected].
The programs are presented by the Arts Alliance in cooperation with Anna Myer and Dancers and the
North American Family Institute, and made possible through funding from the New England Foundation for the Arts’ Expeditions Program, and, in North Conway, through support of the Gary Millen Foundation.
High school students invited to participate in dance & poetry workshops

HOLDERNESS — North Country high-school students interested in rap poetry or in dance (hip-hop and contemporary) are invited sign up for free workshops with members of Bos-ton-based Anna Myer and Dancers in advance of the company’s perfor-mance of “Hoop Suite” in November. “Hoop Suite” is a rap opera that fuses modern dance with basketball moves, hip-hop, rap and spoken word.
Workshops will take place on Monday, October 1 and Thursday, November 1 in North Conway (day-time workshops at Kennett High School, evening workshops at 6:30 p.m. at the Jeanne Limmer Dance Center) and Tuesday, October 2 and Friday, November 2 at 3:30 p.m. at the Holderness School.
During the workshops students will be guided through a series of writing or movement challenges focused on developing critical skills for communication, collaboration and self-expression. The workshop envi-ronment will be both nurturing and demanding — with respect for mul-tiple viewpoints, cultures and artistic
styles. Participants will learn how to create a personal vocabulary (poetry) and choreographic language (move-ment) by exploring relevant issues in their own lives and communities. The spoken word material can serve as inspiration for creation of a dance piece, and the resulting collaborative work can be shared at the end of the workshops; some participants may also wish to present their work at the public performances.
The poetry workshops will be led by Tu Phan, a student at Northeastern University; his poetry, inspired by hip hop, rap, and satirical, historical and spiritual literature, focuses on socioeco-nomic, environmental and political con-cepts. Dance workshops will be led by Anna Myer (“a master choreographer who is always full of surprises and new ideas”) and company members Adri-ane Rayton and Karina Davis. Adriane trained at the Boston Arts Academy and Connecticut College and Karina, a hip-hop dancer, studied at the Alvin Ailey School and Williams College.
No experience in the artforms is required. Those interested can contact
Frumie Selchen of the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire at 323-7302, email [email protected].
The programs are presented by the Arts Alliance in cooperation with Anna Myer and Dancers and the
North American Family Institute, and made possible through funding from the New England Foundation for the Arts’ Expeditions Program, and, in North Conway, through support of the Gary Millen Foundation.

LACONIA — Laconia Little League will hold its annual mem-bership meeting Tuesday, Octo-ber 9 at 6:30 p.m. in the Laconia Room at Colby Field.
The annual meeting is when Laconia Little League elects their new Board of Directors and begins preparing for next season. As with all volunteer positions within the Little League organization, every board member must be nomi-nated and approved—no positions are automatically tenured.
The league has many volun-teers returning to organize the Laconia Little League system, but also has some positions that will need to be filled. Those who have a child in Laconia Little League are asked to consider being part of the volunteer team that makes it all happen.
Visit the website at www.laco-niall.org for contact information or contact any board member to learn more about each position.
