State offers no details of Carter murders at arraignment BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
FRANKLIN — Homicide complaints filed in the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division yesterday morning shine little light on the chopping deaths of a Belmont woman and her adult son other than saying they both died of multiple
wounds to the head and body from an unidentified weapon. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin said police have recovered the weapon they believe Shawn Carter, 31, formerly of 20 Sunset Drive in Belmont, used in the homicides of his mother, Priscilla Carter, 59, and brother, Timothy
Carter, 39, committed on either May 23 or 24. Carter, 31, showed no emotion as he faced the video camera from jai in Laconial yesterday afternoon while Public Defender Jesse Friedman entered no pleas on his behalf to four separate counts of second-degree homicide —
two each for his mother and two each for his brother. Strelzin filed two theories, without details, for each death — one set, he said, charges Carter knowingly caused the death of his mother and brother and one set charges he recklessly caused their deaths. see CARTER page 12
Commission puzzled by lack of political consensus on new-jail issue BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Can the Belknap County Commissioners and the Belknap County Convention overcome their differences to work together to address the county’s need to improve its corrections system? That was the question commissioners
pondered at Wednesday morning’s meeting during a lengthy discussion of the expressed reluctance of many county legislators to support a plan championed by the commission, which calls for construction of a new 94,450 square foot, 180-bed community corrections facility. Commissioner Ed Philpot of Laconia,
who chairs the county’s Jail Planning Committee, said, that after reading the comments recently made by legislators about the proposal, published in the newspaper, he sees the commission’s task is ‘’more of presenting the problem than the solution.’’ He said that the poor relationship the see JAIL page 9

Egypt escalates crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s military-backed government tightened a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday, ordering the arrest of its revered leader in a bid to choke off the group’s campaign to reinstate President Mohammed Morsi one week after an army-led coup. The Brotherhood denounced the warrants for the arrest of Mohammed Badie and nine other leading Islamists for inciting violence Monday that left dozens dead, saying “dictatorship is back” and vowing it will never work with the interim rulers. Leaders of the Brotherhood are believed to be taking refuge somewhere near a continuing sit-in by its supporters at the Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque in eastern Cairo, but it is not clear if Badie also is there. The Brotherhood is outraged by the overthrow of Morsi, one of its own, and demands nothing less than his see EGYPT page 5

Quebec officials say 20 confirmed dead & 30 still missing Railroad president blames engineer, says he didn’t set all brakes LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec (AP) — Canadian officials told distraught families Wednesday that 30 people still missing after the fiery crash of a runaway oil train are all presumed dead. Along with 20 bodies found, that would put the death toll from Saturday’s derailment and explosions in this lakeside town at 50. Hours before that somber meeting, the head of the U.S. railway company whose train crashed made his first visit to Lac-
Megantic since the disaster, amid jeers from residents and criticism from politicians, including the Quebec premier. The rail chief blamed the engineer for failing to set the brakes properly before the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train hurtled down a seven-mile (11-kilometer) incline, derailed and ignited. All but one of the 73 cars was carrying oil, and at least five exploded. Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO
of parent company Rail World Inc., said the engineer had been suspended without pay and was under “police control.” Parts of the devastated town had remained too hot and dangerous to enter and find bodies days after the disaster. Some 60 people had been presumed missing earlier. “Now we are standing here with a number of 50 persons that we are considering most probably dead in this tragedy,” said Quebec police inspector Michel Forget, who came to an afternoon news briefing see TRAIN page 8
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — After taking less than a week to call 18 witnesses, George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys rested their case Wednesday in the neighborhood watch volunteer’s second-degree murder trial. Prosecutors and defense attorneys planned to work out the jury instructions before they present closing arguments Thursday. Judge Debra Nelson said the case could be sent to the six jurors as early
as Friday. Zimmerman never testified. But jurors saw repeated video recordings of Zimmerman telling his side of the story to investigators. He claims that he shot Trayvon Martin, who was unarmed, in self-defense while the teen straddled and punched him. Defense attorney Mark O’Mara told reporters that Zimmerman wanted to testify but his attorneys felt he had already
told his version of events in multiple police interviews played for jurors. “I think he really wanted to be able to interact with this jury and say to them ‘This is what I did and this is why I did it. And as importantly, this is what was happening to me at the time that I decided to do what I had to do,’” O’Mara said. “So in that sense, yes, I think he wanted to tell see ZIMMERMAN page 4
BOSTON (AP) — His arm in a cast and his face swollen, a blase-looking Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing in a sevenminute proceeding that marked his first appearance in public since his capture in
mid-April. As survivors of the bombing looked on, Tsarnaev, 19, gave a small, lopsided smile to his two sisters upon arriving in the courtroom. He appeared to have a jaw injury and there was swelling around his
left eye and cheek. Leaning into the microphone, he told a federal judge, “Not guilty” in his Russian accent and said it over and over as the charges were read. Then he was led away see BOMBINGS page 11

Music v. sleep at the Weirs will be at issue again as Tower Hill Tavern asks city for extension to 1 a.m. By Michael Kitch LACONIA — The conflict between music makers and sleep sellers at The Weirs, which overshadowed Jay and Anthony Santagate’s effort to open the top floor of the Tower Hill Tavern to live bands, is likely to erupt again as he has asked the Planning Board to lift restrictions it placed on its approval of his original application and let the beat go on until 1 a.m. In February, after more than two years of controversy, the board approved the Santagates’ plan to provide a bar, stage and dance floor on the second floor where live bands would perform for up to 320 people. However, the last condition attached to the approval, at Santagate’s suggestion, stipulated that bands would play only until 11 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day and until 10 p.m. from Labor Day to Memorial Day. The Santagates have now asked the Planning
Board to amend their approval by deleting the condition and allowing bands to play until 1 a.m. When Anthony Santagate appeared before the Technical Review Committee yesterday, no issues were raised by the representatives of the various city departments and the issue rests with the Planning Board, which is scheduled to consider his request in August. Santagate said that in part the request was prompted by legislation enacted this year that authorizes municipalities to extend the hours of beer, wine and liquor sales from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week. The city council would have to adopt an ordinance to extend the hours and could specify conditions that would apply. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said yesterday that during Motorcycle Weeks, several business owners at The Weirs indicated to her that they intended to approach the City Council about extending their hours of operation. “If it happens,” said Jay Santagate, “we would want to take advantage of it.”
ZIMMERMAN from page 2 his story.” Still, O’Mara said his client is “worried” as he faced up to a life-sentence in prison for what O’Mara called a classic case of self-defense. Asserting that Zimmerman “believed he did what he had to do to protect himself from great bodily injury that was already been visited on him,” O’Mara added, “If we presented evidence that helped the jury understand that, then we’ve done our job.” The defense started its case last Friday and presented half as many witnesses in half of the time that prosecutors did. Friends, parents and an uncle of the defendant testified that it was Zimmerman screaming for help on a 911 call that captured sounds of the fatal fight. Martin’s mother and brother had testified for the prosecution that it was Martin yelling for help. Zimmerman’s father, Robert Zimmerman Sr., was the last witness called by the defense on Wednesday, and he said it’s his son yelling for help on the call. Defense attorneys also called a forensic pathologist who testified that the forensics evidence supports Zimmerman’s account of what happened. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to seconddegree murder. On the night of the fatal scuffle in February 2012, Martin was visiting his father and
his father’s fiancee at the same townhome complex where Zimmerman lived. Zimmerman observed Martin while driving in his neighborhood, called police and the fight ensued after the neighborhood watch volunteer got out of his vehicle. Some civil rights activists argued that the delay in charging Zimmerman was influenced by Martin’s race, and protests were held around the nation in the 44 days between the fatal fight and Zimmerman’s arrest. Martin was black and Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic. The defense rested on a day when the judge made two rulings preventing them from introducing certain evidence. Defense attorneys had wanted to present text messages from Trayvon Martin’s cellphone that discussed fighting and an animation depicting Zimmerman’s fatal fight with Martin. But Nelson sided with prosecutors, who had argued the animation is inaccurate and the texts were irrelevant. O’Mara said the defense will use the animation in closing arguments. He also explained that defense attorneys decided not to show that Martin had a small amount of marijuana in his body at the time he died, despite winning a ruling on it from the judge, because it seemed insignificant.

Commission sees handwriting on wall; towns will start paying for mutual fire aid directly By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The conflict between music makers and sleep sellers at The Weirs, which overshadowed Jay and Anthony Santagate’s effort to open the top floor of the Tower Hill Tavern to live bands, is likely to erupt again as he has asked the Planning Board to lift restrictions it placed on its approval of his original application and let the beat go on until 1 a.m. In February, after more than two years of controversy, the board approved the Santagates’ plan to provide a bar, stage and dance floor on the second floor where live bands would perform for up to 320 people. However, the last condition attached to the approval, at Santagate’s suggestion, stipulated that bands would play only until 11 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day and until 10 p.m. from Labor Day EGYPT from page 2 release from detention and his reinstatement as president. Security agencies have already jailed five leaders of the Brotherhood, including Badie’s powerful deputy, Khairat el-Shaiter, and shut down its media outlets. The prosecutor general’s office said Badie, another deputy, Mahmoud Ezzat, senior member Mohammed El-Beltagy and popular preacher Safwat Hegazy are suspected of instigating the clashes with security forces outside a Republican Guard building near the mosque that killed 54 people — most of them Morsi supporters — in the worst bloodshed since he was ousted. The Islamists have accused the troops of gunning down protesters, while the military blamed armed backers of Morsi for attempting to storm a military building. The warrants highlight the armed forces’ zerotolerance policy toward the Brotherhood, which was banned under authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak. “This just signals that dictatorship is back,” said Brotherhood spokesman Ahmed Aref. “We are returning to what is worse than Mubarak’s regime, which wouldn’t dare to issue an arrest warrant of the general leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.” The Brotherhood’s refusal to work with the new interim leaders underscored the difficulties they face in trying to stabilize Egypt and bridge the deep fissures that have opened in the country during Morsi’s year in office. Morsi has not been seen since the July 3 coup, but Foreign Ministry spokesman Badr Abdel-Atti gave the first official word on him in days, saying he is in a safe place and is being treated in a “very dignified manner.” No charges have been leveled against him, Abdel-Atti said. “For his own safety and for the safety of the country, it is better to keep him. ... Otherwise, consequences will be dire,” he added. Badie had appeared at the Rabaa al-Adawiya rally Friday, a day after an earlier arrest warrant against him was issued, also accusing him of inciting violence. On Wednesday night, he delivered a message to the crowd through a senior Brotherhood leader, an indication that he didn’t want to make an appearance and endanger his security. He spoke of Monday’s violence, calling the troops that carried it out “traitors.” “They didn’t just betray their people ... their leader (Morsi), but they also betrayed God,” said AbdelRahman el-Bar, a Brotherhood leader, reading from Badie’s message. He urged supporters to stay camped out in the sit-in and mosques, using the holy month of Ramadan to pray for Morsi’s deliverance. Badie also sought to dismiss accusations that his group used violence.

Vital interests vs. democratic ideals Understandably, the Muslim Brotherhood is enraged. Having won the presidency of Egypt in free and fair elections after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, President Mohammed Morsi has been ousted in a military coup and placed under house arrest. Brotherhood leaders, convicted of no crimes, are being rounded up. They played by America’s rules. Now, with America’s blessing, they are being locked up by America’s friends in Egypt’s armed forces. Nor is this the first perceived betrayal. When Hamas won the free elections demanded by George W. Bush, America refused to recognize their legitimacy and plotted the violent overthrow of Hamas in Gaza. When Islamists swept the first round of Algerian elections in 1991, the regime, with the blessing of Bush 1, canceled the second round, leading to a guerrilla war that cost 100,000 to 200,000 dead. If Muslims have come to believe that Americans preaching democracy are charlatans and hypocrites, do they not have a point? U.S. foreign policy once seemed to make sense. We put vital interests ahead of democratist ideology. We stood by those who stood by us. We did not spend time inspecting the moral credentials of those who took America’s side. We played the cards we were dealt in this world. Gen. Washington danced a jig when he heard Louis XVI, a descendant of the Sun King, would support America’s cause against our mother country. In 1917, Woodrow Wilson took us to war “to make the world safe for democracy” as an associate power of five empires — the British, French, Italian, Russian and Japanese. At war’s end, Wilson signed treaties that plundered the lands and colonies of the three defeated empires, for the benefit of the victorious empires. In the Good War from 1941 to 1945 against the Nazis, our greatest ally was the mass murderer of Christians and democrats Josef Stalin. In the Cold War, Dwight Eisenhower sanctioned the overthrow of democratic governments in Guatemala and Iran and their replacement by autocrats who would take our side in the struggle for the world. We welcomed the Shah, Saudi kings and Gulf emirs. JFK welcomed the “Butcher of the Balkans,” Marshal Tito, to the White House. President Nixon sided with autocratic Pakistan over democratic India — for Pakistan had sided with us. Nixon went to Beijing to toast Chairman Mao, a monster as great as Stalin. Liberals sickened by our alliance with the “corrupt and dictatorial regime” of President Ngo Dinh Diem in Saigon were ecstatic.
The Nixon White House celebrated the overthrow of elected president Salvador Allende of Chile by Gen. Augusto Pincohet. Among other U.S. allies in the Cold War were Asian dictators and generals Chiang Kai-shek of China, Syngman Rhee and Park Chunghee of South Korea, and Suharto of Indonesia. Portugal’s dictator Antonio Salazar and Spain’s Gen. Francisco Franco were loyal allies against Bolshevism. Mobutu Sese Seko was for 32 years our man in the Congo, as Emperor Haile Selassie was in Ethiopia. Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak were American allies and dictators of Egypt from 1970 to 2011, until, in the name of our democratic ideals, we threw our flawed friend Mubarak to the wolves. What is the cause of our present angst over what is happening in Cairo? Our democratist ideals appear to have been run over by U.S. armored personnel carriers driven by Egyptian soldiers trained by the U.S. Army. Whether or not our interests have been advanced, our ideals seem to have been wounded. Behind our ambivalence and paralysis may be found several truths. First, the Cold War, the lifeor-death civilizational struggle that defined our times, is over. No vital U.S. interest is at risk in Egypt to justify military intervention or the shedding of American blood. This is thus their problem, not ours, most Americans believe, and our influence is receding there, even as that of the British, French and Russians did before us. Let them work it out. Testifying to this truth is the tape of Secretary of State John Kerry inspecting his yacht off Nantucket as the Egyptian regime fell, and Obama, after a brief National Security Council conclave, heading off for the golf course on the July 4 weekend, then on to Camp David. Today, from Egypt to Lebanon to Syria and Iraq, it is Islamist against secularist, Sunni vs. Shia, tribe against tribe, those in power against those who want power. The Arab Spring has ushered in the Arab war of all against all. That year 1848, when all the thrones of Europe were shaken by revolution, was a similar time. And those wise old war hawks of 1812, Henry Clay and John Calhoun, found themselves again on the same side. America, they said, should stay out. “Masterly inactivity” is our role, said Calhoun. Added Clay, “Avoiding the distant wars of Europe, we should keep our lamp burning brightly on this Western shore as a light to all the nations than to hazard its utter extinction amid the ruins of fallen or falling republics.”
LETTERS Administration is kicking Constitution around like a soccer ball To The Daily Sun, I find it interesting to see how many Democrat/liberal/progressives who, when they don’t have facts to support their positions, resort to the tactic of attempting to smear the opposition. Last week it was Professor Maloof who didn’t have his facts right. In his letter to The Daily Sun on Tuesday, Werner Dietrich gave us another demonstration of being careless with the facts and liberal with his personal attacks. As to his “facts”, none of those “clownish buffoons” candidates that he mentioned were “front runners”. In fact, Donald Trump was not even entered in the primaries. Dietrich also charges that the fact that 80 percent of the Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is somehow “false advertising”. His argument for that claim is that many of the “Dixiecrats” later became Republicans. I guess he didn’t know that the most famous of those Dixiecrats, Robert Byrd, the former Exalted Cyclops leader of the Ku Klux Klan, was later voted, by his
fellow Democrats, to be the majority leader of the Senate. I gather that Mr. Dietrich is happy as a clam about the current administration kicking the Constitution and Bill of Rights around as though it were an old soccer ball. Can Mr. Maloof or Mr. Dietrich tell us where the president was when four American were killed in Benghazi? Or who gave the order not to send help? Or who was involved in the IRS scandal? Or who gave the order to follow reporter James Rosen’s every move? And while you’re at it, check into the legality of the president delaying implementation of Obamacare until after the 2014 election? And all those telephone records of just plain folks — what’s up with that? Good Democrat, liberal progressives that you are, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting answers from the “most transparent” administration in our history. For sure, it’s not your daddy’s Democrat party any more. Bob Meade Laconia
Those attacking family planning clinics are morally bankrupt To The Daily Sun, Tony Boutin is a bootin’ again! That uncontrollable rant towards George Maloof was about the best hissy-fit I have read in a long time! One halfcrazed sentence after another, YELLING AWAY, as is his habit. But Tony, if you dislike bankrupt ideas why don’t you turn against the party that brought the nation to its knees in 2008? Ya know, the big fat Elephants gloating and bloating with pride after they attack workers, unions, women, gays, needy families and the environment; ya know, the one that allowed investors with its “morally correcting capitalism” to scheme and steal billion from millions of people, causing them to lose their cars, their homes and their family’s economic stability. Heartless sociopaths galore! What is in that Tea? Amanita Muscaria? And be sure to support progressives who are still fuming over George Bush’s Howdy Doody Defense Department’s
handling of the wars which he didn’t even pay for. And you folks blather about leaving debt for future generations. Trillions on a damn lie!. And incompetent dithering in Afghanistan! Austrian Economics is bankrupt, being a cause of both the Great Recession and the recession of the 1980s. Those who attack family planning clinics are not only morally bankrupt, they are ignorant fools. Closing clinics increases unintended pregnancies, abortions and STDs. DUH! How stupid can these people get. Crabby conscience-free conservatism is not only bankrupt, it stinks of every moral and ethical disease I can think of. Tony, you have to be one crazy dude to think the way you do. BTW, whoever George Maloof is... A BIG SHOUT OUT and two thumbs up! I very much enjoy your letters. James Veverka Tilton

LETTERS Fates of Declaration signers info came from discredited essay
Christians do not riot, burn & destroy when Jesus is disrespected
To The Daily Sun, On July 5, you published a letter conveying a stirring account of the fates endured by the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Many of your readers may have experienced a feeling of déjà vu as they read the essay. Little wonder. Fourteen years ago, the essay was widely circulated. Since then, scholars have diluted and refuted the essay’s claims. For the record: The person who submitted the essay to you did not write it. She was simply passing on material from what she reasonably thought was a reliable source, an old Ann Landers’s column. The actual author is unknown. To that original author: Is it necessary to embellish and create history to make America admirable? The country often comes off quite well when scrutinized and better than okay in the grand scheme of things. If pride depends on fantasy, what is the price of loyalty and glory? Some examples of the essay’s claims versus reality follow. Claim: The British captured five signers as traitors and tortured them before they died. Reality: Yes, the British captured five, but not as traitors (except for one) and none died in captivity. Four of the five were actively engaged in military operations at the time of their capture. The British took them as prisoners of war. Claim: Nine “died from wounds or hardships” of war.Reality: Yes, nine died during the time of the war, but not from wounds or hardships inflicted by the British. Only one died from wounds. A fellow officer inflicted those in a duel. Claim: Carter Braxton “. . . saw his ships swept from the seas. . . . He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags.” Reality: The British appropriated some of Braxton’s ships because they flew British flags. They captured or sunk others in the conduct of war; i.e., not because Braxton signed the Declaration. He sold assets (land holdings mostly) to cover the losses. In the immediate aftermath of the
To The Daily Sun, Sunday morning I received an e-mail from a niece concerning a movie about to debut this summer here in the U.S., titled Corpus Christi. Apparently this movie depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals. I can’t help but think it is in very bad taste but recognize it is covered by free speech. But I do wonder if Christians will riot, burn and destroy and if they do will President Obama cut them the same slack he did the Muslims he said were demonstrating over an offensive movie depiction of Mohamed? Will he denounce the Corpus Christi movie as he did the one about the Muslim profit? Will progressives rally to the defense of free speech and call Christians homophobes for objecting to such a depiction of their Lord and Savior? Actually I expect none of these things to happen because Christians will not riot, will not burn and destroy. I only ask these questions to point out the differences between Christians and Muslims and Christians and the progressives who denigrate Christians at their every opportunity. Do
war, Braxton recouped most of his losses. In subsequent years, however, he again lost considerable wealth through bad business decisions. Consequently, his wealth at death was considerably less than it was before the war, but he was not impoverished. Claim: The British hounded Thomas McKean and forced his family to move and hide constantly. They took his possessions, “and poverty was his reward.” Reality: McKean kept his family on the run for about five months. Attributing this to his signature on the Declaration of Independence does not pass the smell test. His name is not on the documents authenticated in 1777. He evidently signed later. The British were more likely after him because he was a militia leader. “Poverty was his reward” is an outright fabrication. McKean had a long, distinguished and lucrative career. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress (serving for a time as its president), president (equivalent to governor) of Delaware, and Pennsylvania’s chief justice and governor. At his death in 1817, his estate consisted of “stocks, bonds and huge tracts of land in Pennsylvania,” according to contemporary accounts. Claim: The British drove John Hart from the bedside of his dying wife. Their 13 children fled for their lives. He lived in forests and caves for more than a year. When he returned home, his wife was dead, his children were gone. He died shortly thereafter heartbroken. Reality: There is a nugget of truth. The British looted Hart’s New Jersey farm in November 1776 (probably because he was the speaker of the assembly). The rest of the claim is hogwash. A month after the raid, the Continental Army liberated the area; that is, Hart hid in the mountains for about a month (not more than a year). The British did not drive him from his dying wife. She had died weeks before the raid. Most of the fleeing children were adults. He died neither “shortly thereafter” nor “heartbroken.” He died of kidney stones more than two years later. In the interim, NJ voters reelected him to the state assembly. Robert Moran Meredith
Rooster is only needed to fertilize eggs that are coming anyway To The Daily Sun, Reading the article written by Michael Kitch about the City of Laconia’s task force proposal to keeping chickens in the residential area, I must comment on City Councilor Armand Bolduc’s observations about chickens. I grew up on a self-sufficient farm and never have we ever needed a rooster for our hens to lay eggs. Much like the reproduction of humans, the
rooster is only needed to fertilize the egg. Also, like any farm animal, as long as the henhouse is cleaned, like any barn or manger, there is no offensive smell. Also, He must have never had a farmfresh egg if he thinks buying them from a local market makes more sense. Daryl Carlson’s Corner Chicken Coop Meredith
Can you help provide background to LHS football awards? To The Daily Sun, In an effort to ensure the integrity and honor bestowed upon past players continues into the future, I am looking to gain background knowledge on four past football players, for whom memorial trophies were named. Specifically, I am interested in any/all information on the following players/awards: the Nadon trophy (for
trophy (for outstanding back), the Bucky Boyson trophy (for outstanding sportsmanship), and the Davie trophy (for team spirit). Your knowledge about these players and their awards is most appreciated. Please contact me at: kjw1406@gmail. com/6035242999. Kim Weeks
you, readers, suppose the term bigots can be applied to those anti Christians I refer to here? On a different note Henry Osmer’s letter the other day brought me back to another time. I remember well when our returning solders arriving home from “Nam” were spat upon, called “war criminals” and “baby killers” and I remember who they were that did these things. They called themselves antiwar protesters then. Today most of them now call themselves progressives. Let me be clear not all of today’s progressives were guilty of these actions but all those who were are now progressives today. Also let me say I know Henry was not one of those low lifes (thank you for your service, Henry). 2.5 years in Nam was a long time. I’m guessing here that we both feel the same about how our fellow servicemen were treated. I was very lucky, I was stationed in Germany during my enlistment and I do have a DD 214. Steve Earle Hill
What summer vacation? Thank you to all our dedicated teachers To The Daily Sun, Two posts that I received on Facebook today were ones that I wish every taxpayer and parent would have been privy to, so I hope that you will make them known. Though these were only but two with similar messages that are posted to me frequently from friends and colleagues in the school systems of Gilford and Governor Wentworth, I feel that they are worthy to share. July 9, 2013: “Going into school to start getting some stuff together for next year. I’ll take advantage of the yucky weather!”
And later that day another post read: “Feeling good that I got a lot done at school today. (I) Made 100 Weekend Journals and 25 math assessment booklets, yeah!!!” We should all applaud the dedication of the educators in our school systems that go above and beyond... nights, weekends, vacations, and summer. Send a teacher a thank you note. It means so very much! Thank you to all our dedicated teachers, Paula Dickinson Gilford
Again I have to ask: where is Representative Dennis Fields? To The Daily Sun, A few years ago I wrote a letter to the editor asking the following question: “Where is Representative Dennis Fields?” After that letter was published, I received a call from Dennis attempting to admonish me for writing such a thing. Well here we go again. I recently wrote to Dennis asking him what his position was on an amendment to a House bill regarding telephone rates and service. This amendment had
been added to a bill that had nothing to do with telephone rates or service, a very deceptive practice used often in Concord. Well the purpose of this letter is to let you know that one again Dennis has not responded or made his position know on this issue! So I ask again, where is Dennis Fields? Perhaps he will reappear once again at election time. Bill Whalen Sanbornton
U.S. is being destroyed from within, paralleling Greece & Rome To The Daly Sun, Does history repeat itself? Patterns have surfaced that give credence to frightening days gone by. Names may change and venue might look different but the same evils have arisen. Those who have escaped devilish practices have attempted to warn the sleeping masses. Hilmar Von Campe was a Hitler Youth and has dedicated his life to warning the public of the totalitarian lie. Leonard Peikoff, in his book “The Ominous Parallels”, describes the similarities between Nazi Germany and the ideology capturing the seat of government in America. “Nazi
and John Hawkins shows relationship between big business and Nazi influence in America. Mussolini reviewed FDR’s book and proclaimed FDR a “kindred spirit”. And wrote, “Without question, sea change in America resembles that of fascism” The German press adored FDR. Vikischer Beobachter the Nazi Party’s official newspaper praised FDR for his “irreproachable extremely responsible character and immovable will”. Of course Roosevelt’s right hand man was a communist agent named Alger Hiss. And there was also Harry Hopkins, see next page

LETTERS Without rooster, hens start laying at 20 weeks & continue ‘til death To The Daily Sun, Dear Councilor Armand Bolduc: FYI, female chickens do not need a rooster to lay eggs. She only needs a rooster to fertilize the egg. Hens start
laying eggs at about 20 weeks old and continue until death. Sam Ayotte Laconia

history well. Nor does she seem to know the designs of tyrants or their eventual demise. Although Barrack Obama has used the power put in place by preceding presidents he is not capable of organizing the intricacies we have seen falling into place. He has been using them impatiently and with impunity. Traudl Jung died in 2002. She was the last occupant of Hitler’s Fuehrerbunker. She was his secretary and had this to say: “He was a pleasant boss and fatherly friend. I deliberately ignored all the warning voices inside me and enjoyed the time by his side almost until the bitter end. It wasn’t what he said, but the way he said things and how he did things”. On February 27, 1933 the German Reichstag was burned. Hitler claimed the communists did it. A public announcement stated “the government is of the opinion that the situation is such that a danger to the state and nation exists and still exists”. On March 24, 1933 a panicked German Parliament voted 441 to 94 to pass an “Enabling Act”. Hitler’s rise to dictatorship took one large step forward. The Act required national identity cards, racial profiling, gun confiscation and later mass murders and incarcerations in concentration camps. After 9/11, the Patriot Act was rushed through Congress. By a vote of 339-79 it became law. It was 342 pages long. The ACLU stated some congressmen had little or no time to read the Act. The speed in which the bill was presented to congress gave the impression that the bill had been written earlier but waited for the proper time to submit it. Sound familiar? How much change do the progressives, Marxist, Fabians, Democratic Socialists want? We are in enormous debt. Over 50 million babies have been sacrificed to their god. They arm our enemies. Distribute weapons to drug cartels while attempting to disarm the public. Cripple our economy. Monitor our communications. Destroying our infrastructure one step at a time. Busy body’s who feel the need to infiltrate everyone’s life by force. Our country is literally being destroyed from within. It parallels Greece and Rome. We have traveled in a circle. The crafty soothsayers have gained an upper hand and seek to rule with an iron fist. One way or another they hope to get total control. As they progress in their designs we will see natural disasters keep pace until Americans awaken and return to our founding principles. Gene F. Danforth Danbury
another Soviet Agent who had FDR’s constant attention. Hitler informed U.S. Ambassador William Dodd that New Dealism was “the quintessence of the German state philosophy” . Roosevelt needed war in order to enforce his programs upon the American people. Woodrow Wilson’s concept that our Constitution was outmoded became Roosevelt’s plan of action. Viewing our Charter as a “living Constitution” gave them more flexibility. Sound familiar? The Nazi Party maintained a well organized special bureau on Race and Public Health. Race Science in the Interior Ministry was the provenance of Reich Committee for Protection of German Blood. Department I dealt with issues of race law and politics. Department IV studied population politics, genetic hygiene and medical statistics. The Ministry of Science and Education oversaw Human Genetics and Eugenics. The Reich Family Office had the final authority to decide who was Jewish or Aryan. The Reich Statistical Office was dependent upon IBM equipment which collected data on census, household, and family data, race and nationality. In 1934 a dedicated specialist who was zealous in collecting data and held the rank of corporal in the German army was transferred from the Dachau concentration camp to the Berlin office and reassigned where he could work with more lists. Lists were everywhere. Police stations, employment bureaus, professional associations, local Nazi departments and SS Security offices. Corporal Adolf Eichmann rose in rank and became instrumental in getting the Jews to the gas chambers. IBM reduced the Jews to a data bit. The technologies enabled Nazi Germany to not only organize timetables for locomotives, boxcars and trains but was instrumental in orchestrating the death of millions. In August of 2010, the Subcommittee on House Ethics Committee charged Rep. Maxine Waters with ethics violations for steering $12 million to One United where she and her husband hold shares. Waters seldom controls her feelings. During the original hearing she states, “I think some people are missing something here. The president has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life” She continues “ That’s going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before”. Maxine Waters does not know her
Police captain says Tuesday night chase near library reached tense moment when homeless man pulled a knife By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Uniformed city police officers on their way to detail duty at a Gilford concert venue apprehended a man homeless man Tuesday evening who allegedly refused to stop for police and pulled a knife on one of them after they witnessed an altercation at the Laconia Public Library. Joseph Coughlin, 30, whose temporary address is given as the Carey House on 6 Spring St., is charged with three counts of felony criminal threatening, two counts of possession of controlled drugs, one count of resisting arrest, and three counts of violating a domestic order of protection issued by the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin District on January 17 and served to him on June 19. Coughlin is accused of having three guns in his possession, which is a violation of an order of protection. He was ordered held on $5,000 cash-only bail. According to Capt. Bill Clary, he and two other officers were headed toward the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook at 6:30 p.m. in an unmarked cruiser and while on Church Street, near the Public Library, he noticed some kind of altercation between three men. He said two of the men ran in one direction and one man ran in the other — behavior he said was unusual enough to cause him to stop the car and see what was happening. Clary followed the lone man, later identified as Coughlin, and the other two officers followed the other two men who stopped when they were told to. Clary chased Coughlin up North Main Street while repeatedly yelling at him to stop and identify himself. He said Coughlin turned around twice and knew he was being ordered to stop by a police officer. Coughlin fell once, got up and kept running north. When he got in front of the Laconia TRAIN from page 2 from a meeting with families of the dead and missing. “We informed them of the potential loss of their loved ones,” Forget said. “You have to understand that it’s a very emotional moment, and our thoughts are with these families.” Only one of the bodies found so far has been formally identified, said Genevieve Guilbault of the coroner’s office. She did not release the name but said next of kin had been notified. She described efforts to identify the other remains as “very long and arduous work” — a consequence of the fire’s intensity. Another police official, Sgt. Benoit Richard, said investigators had spoken with Burkhardt during his visit. He did not elaborate. Until Wednesday, the railway company had defended its employees’ actions, but that changed abruptly as Burkhardt singled out the engineer as culpable. “We think he applied some hand brakes, but the question is, did he apply enough of them?” Burkhardt
Clinic on North Main Street, Clary said Coughlin tripped on a curb and fell a second time. He said Coughlin got up and turned toward him holding a knife. He said he drew his gun and yelled at him to put down the knife. Coughlin complied. Affidavits filed by a fourth officer, Senior Patrolman Robert Sedgley who was moving to the north of Coughlin to intercept him on North Main said he saw Coughlin fall once, put his hand on Clary’s cruiser to help himself up, and continue to run from Clary. He said he briefly lost site of Coughlin but heard Clary yelling at him to drop the knife. Sedgely said once Coughlin was in custody he conducted a pat down and saw the butt of a hand gun in the right pocket of his cargo pants. He confirmed it was a Beretta semiautomatic pistol. He said also found marijuana in his pants pocket. Clary told Sedgley he also saw Coughlin drop a bag, which Sedgley recovered. In it, said affidavits, were two more guns, a pill bottle containing Clonazepam for which there he had no prescription, and two pipes with marijuana ash residue. None of the guns were loaded and no ammunition was found. The two other young men, aged 18 and 20, told police Coughlin was trying to sell them “hot guns” and had allegedly brandished a knife during the interaction. Should Coughlin post bail, he is ordered to live at 6 Spring St. Clary said the investigation continues and anyone with any information is asked to call the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717. Clary said yesterday he and the other two officers were able to get to Meadowbrook in time for the work detail.
said. “He said he applied 11 hand brakes. We think that’s not true. Initially we believed him, but now we don’t.” Burkhardt did not name the engineer, though the company had previously identified the employee as Tom Harding of Quebec. Harding has not spoken publicly since the crash. “He’s not in jail, but police have talked about prosecuting him,” Burkhardt said. “I understand exactly why the police are considering criminal charges ... If that’s the case, let the chips fall where they may.” Quebec police have said they were pursuing a wide-ranging criminal investigation, extending to the possibilities of criminal negligence and some sort of tampering with the train before the crash. The heart of the town’s central business district is being treated as a crime scene and remained cordoned off by police tape Wednesday. At a news conference shortly before Burkhardt’s arrival, Quebec Premier Pauline Marois faulted his company’s response. see next page

JAIL from page one commission has with the convention has hampered its efforts to win support for its proposal, which was developed over a long period of time when many of those now asked to consider funding further steps in the process were not members of the county House delegation. He said that commissioners should work to make sure that people understand the need for a new facility while defending the process by which the current proposal was reached. ‘’We’ve got to remind people of how much work has already been done and get the information to them and then sit down and have a fact-based, evidence-based conversation,’’ said Philpot, who said that one of the keys would be to engage more people in the process. ‘’There’s so much misinformation out there, especially about the numbers,’’ he said, pointing out that the projected $42.5 million cost is much higher than commissioners expect the final number would be. He said that he feared that people were making decisions without adequate information, as the Laconia City Council did when it went on record against the proposal Monday night, and that the process should focus on providing ‘’correct and current information.’’ County Commissioner Steve Nedeau of Meredith said that he agreed with Philpot’s approach, noting ‘’we’ve had dedicated people working on this for over three years’’ but was aggravated by the recent criticisms. ‘’Where have they been for the last three years? We’re trying to change the system and they don’t give a damn. They don’t want to build anything new and we really don’t need that. We’ve offered tours, but even our own representatives won’t come out and see what the real problems are.’’ Commission Chairman John Thomas said he was frustrated by the opinions expressed by legislators in an article which ran in last Friday’s Daily Sun and said it appeared that many ‘’are not committed to doing anything, even when the engineering studies have said tear it down.’’ ‘’We’ve offered presentation after presentation but they just don’t come. I don’t know what we should we do when we’re called criminals by the chairman of the delegation,’’ said Thomas. County Administrator Debra Shackett expressed a conciliatory note as she said ‘’let’s sit down and get on with it. There’s been too much acrimony, so much anger and personality conflict.’’ She urged the commissioners not to dig in their heels too deeply in defense of their proposal, but to instead ‘’explore every option presented by members of the delegation’’ and carefully consider them rather than dismissing them out of hand. ‘’There’s a process. We should do anything we can to keep the process moving. We can look at costs and gather information. We should try to schedule a meeting with them and have a conversation with them,’’ said Shackett, who urged that it be a factbased, open-minded approach in order to come up from preceding page “We have realized there are serious gaps from the railway company from not having been there and not communicating with the public,” Marois said. She depicted Burkhardt’s attitude as “deplorable” and “unacceptable.” Burkhardt, who arrived in town with a police escort, said he had delayed his visit in order to deal with the crisis from his office in Chicago, saying he was better able to communicate from there with insurers and officials in different places. “I understand the extreme anger,” he said. “We owe an abject apology to the people in this town.” In an exchange with reporters, Burkhardt defended the practice of leaving trains unmanned, as was the case when the train rolled away. Canadian transportation department officials have said there are no regulations against it. “For the future we, and I think probably the rest of the industry, aren’t going to be leaving these trains unmanned,” Burkhardt said. “We’ll take the lead with that. I think the rest of the industry is going to follow.” Among the residents looking on as Burkhardt spoke was Raymond Lafontaine, who is believed to have lost a son, two daughters-in-law and an employee in the disaster.
with a solution. She urged commissioners to approach such a meeting as if it were a Jail Planning Committee meeting and treat ideas put forth by legislators as if they had been presented by members of the committee, which has been working for three years on the problem. ‘’We should do anything we can to keep the process moving,’’ said Shackett. Philpot said that he believes the community corrections approach is the right one for the county. ‘’We hired the top guys in the country to develop this plan and there’s pretty compelling proof out there that this process works.’’ He said that commissioners have for many years been telling county lawmakers that there are real problems with the county jail. ‘’The process far predates this delegation and what we we need now is a real discussion. Don’t say it isn’t as bad as it is. That one doesn’t hold water. And tell the truth about what’s behind your reasons for not wanting to do something. If it’s the money, say so. We have concerns with that number ourselves,’’ said Philpot. Two weeks ago Ken Ricci and Laura Maiello of Ricci Greene Associates, a consulting firm engaged by the commission to assist with the planning process, presented a conceptual plan for a two-story,
94,450-square-foot facility they estimated to cost $42.5 million. It would have 180 beds, plus five for inmates requiring medical care. A third of the beds — 44 for men and 16 for women — would be reserved for inmates awaiting trial, on work release, undergoing treatment or on electronic monitoring. The remaining 120 beds — 88 for men and 32 for women — would be allotted to maximum, medium, and minimum security inmates as well as those with special needs. The major feature of the project is the community corrections component, an array of therapeutic services, educational programs and vocational training to prepare inmates for a successful return to the community. Relying on the report of David Bennett, the first consultant to advise the commission, the commission stresses that the programmatic element of the facility will reduce the rate of recidivism and spiraling cost of incarceration. Ricci Greene projected that operating the facility would require 49 full-time employees, 21 more than are currently on the payroll. Personnel costs, which are currently $1.6 million per year would climb by $2.7 million over a period of years. The Ricci Greene study was funded by a $160,000 supplemental appropriation which passed the Belknap County Delegation by a single vote, 9-8, last August.

Selectmen give teen go-ahead to finish warming hut project with some paid labor BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Selectmen last night gave the teenager who began the restoration of the warming hut at the former Gilford Outing Club hill site the okay to hire a private contractor to finish the project with the assistance of volunteers. Sarah Anderson told selectmen that Richard Moreau, a contractor from Belmont who has experience with historic restorations would do the doors and windows and Harry Bean of Saltmarsh Pond Road would volunteer his crews to do the siding. There was no formal vote taken. At a previous meeting, Selectman John O’Brien had questioned the use of private contractors to complete the job that was, in his opinion, supposed to be completed by volunteer labor only. He also took offense to what he interpreted as an implied threat from some of the donors to the project to sue to the town for not finishing a project
that was on town property. The goal of the project is to complete it with historical accuracy so it can be placed on the state’s historic register. Anderson raised money — about $10,000 — for six years and the actual restoration began last year. There is $4,600 left. Anderson has said she never intended the taxpayers spend any money on it, but had only asked to use fund-raising money to hire someone to finish the labor because there were not enough volunteers. Though O’Brien said nothing last night, he has expressed his concerns that because the project was on town property the town may face liability down the road because it acts as a defacto disbursing agent for the money and the checks issued to a contractor would be drawn on an account with the town’s name on it.

BOMBINGS from page 2 in handcuffs, making a kissing gesture toward his family with his lips. One of his sisters sobbed loudly, resting her head on a woman seated next to her. Tsarnaev, who has been hospitalized since his capture with wounds suffered in a shootout and getaway attempt, faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, in connection with the April 15 attack, which left three people dead and more than 260 wounded. He could get the death penalty if prosecutors choose to pursue it. The proceedings took place in a heavily guarded courtroom packed not only with victims but with their families, police officers, and members of the public and the media. The Russian immigrant and former college student looked much as he did in a photo widely circulated after his arrest, his hair curly and unkempt. Wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, he appeared nonchalant, almost bored, during the hearing. The cast covered his left forearm, hand and fingers. from preceding page Public Works crews finish the project but Selectman Kevin Hayes and O’Brien weren’t sure if it would be a good or appropriate use of taxpayer resources. Hayes told Anderson the town would be there if she ran into any snags with the labor. He also encouraged her to use more volunteers than contractors because the money would go much further. Anderson said that if the project runs short of cash, there are additional people who said they would donate addition money to finish the warming hut. In additional business, representatives from Lake Region Public Access television asked selectmen to create a local cable committee that would provide feedback from customers who are also paying the franchise fee through their cable bills, part of which goes back to LRPA to pay for the develop-
The bombing victims showed little reaction in the courtroom after a federal marshal warned them against any outbursts. Liz Norden, the mother of two men who lost their right legs in the bombings, said afterward: “I actually felt sick to my stomach.” MIT Police Chief John DiFava, who was also in the courtroom, said Tsarnaev looked “smug.” “I didn’t see a lot of remorse. I didn’t see a lot of regret,” he said. “It just seemed to me that if I was in that position, I would have been a lot more nervous, certainly scared.” DiFava added: “I just wanted to see him. I wanted to see the person that so coldly and callously killed four people, one of whom being an officer of mine.” Authorities say Tsarnaev orchestrated the bombing along with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died following a gun battle with police three days after the attack. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested on April 19, hiding in a bloodstained boat in a suburban backyard after a manhunt that paralyzed much of the Boston area. ment of public access programming. LRPA Director Denise Beauchaine said the Northwood model, that has been in operation in some form since 1999, is a suggested model. When Hayes asked Northwood’s Committee Chair Ken Curley how much the cable committee and the taping cost the town, Curley said it was about $27,000 annually — $20,000 for a part-time videographer, equipment maintenance and equipment updates and $7,000 in fees to LRPA. Selectmen made no decision but toward the end of the meeting, Town Administrator Scott Dunn said he wasn’t sure if there would be enough interest in a town cable committee as other recent attempts at forming additional town committees have been unsuccessful. Hayes asked Dunn to provide the board with the pros and cons of forming a committee and present them to a future board meeting.

DUMPING from page one said that disposing trash in or around the recycling containers constitutes illegal dumping, which according to the city ordinance carries a fine of $250 for each offense. She said that notices will be posted and surveillance cameras mounted at all four remote recycling locations — Lindsay Court, Messer Street, Lakeport Fire Station and the Weirs Community Center — and the department will pursue violators and prosecute them to the full extent of the ordinance. Saltmarsh explained that once recyclable materials are placed in the remote containers they become the
property of Bestway Disposal Services, which trucks them to a recycling center in Boston in loads of between 30 tons and 34 tons. When a load is found to be contaminated by trash, the entire load is rejected and must be disposed of elsewhere at significant additional expense. Meanwhile, Saltmarsh said that she expects a shipment of 18-gallon recycling bins to be delivered to the DPW around midday tomorrow. She said that the waiting list for the complimentary bins is approaching 700 and that those on the list may collect them while supplies last. Altogether the DPW has placed orders for 1,000 bins.
CARTER from page one There is no bail at this time. For the third time since Carter was arrested by police on Route 3 in Tilton three hours after Belmont Police discovered the bodies at 11 a.m. on May 24, Friedman argued neither his client nor himself has any information about the reason Carter was stopped in Tilton or why, six weeks later, he is charged with two murders. Until Tuesday, Carter was charged with operating a car after his license has been suspended and breach of bail. Friedman made a verbal motion to compel the state to provide the affidavits supporting his initial stop that led to him being charged with operating after suspension nor the reason he is charged with two murders. He said his client has “foundered” in the Belknap County House of Corrections “for well over a month” not knowing the details of the charges he faces. Strelzin replied Carter hasn’t “foundered” and he “killed” the only two people likely to post bail for him. He said the state hasn’t kept Carter in jail but his inability to raise $200 has.
He also argued he now has 10 days to respond to Friedman’s verbal motion made yesterday to provide the reason Carter is in jail. Despite Friedman’s argument that he filed the same motion for the same information regarding the “be on the lookout” for (BOLO) alert, Judge Edward “Ned” Gordon gave Strelzin the 10 days to file a written response. Strelzin said the homicides are different charges than the alleged operating after suspension and the bail violation and he is only prosecuting the murders. The N.H. State Police are prosecuting the other charges. Gordon also agreed with Strelzin’s argument that the probable cause hearing would be held the week of July 22 because Strelzin said the N.H. State Trooper who filled out the affidavits nobody except the state has seen is on vacation. Typically, a probable cause hearing — where the state is required to present a prima facia case as to why an arrest was made — is held within 10 days of the day of the first court appearance for a specific charge.

$250,000 each: commissioners opt for half loaves for 2 non-profits seeking grant sponsor By RogeR Amsden
Main Street in Laconia for $700,000 and has so far paid $190,000 of that amount and says that it would use the grant to pay off the $510,000 balance. The club is also looking to raise $1.5 million for renovations to the building and grounds through a capital fund drive. Philpot noted that although the amount is only half of what was being sought, both organizations are eligible for CDBG block grants in the next round of funding which opens in January. In other action the commission approved a request from Register of Deeds Barbara Luther that it approve her appointment of Judy McGrath as deputy register for a two-year period. Commissioners approved the appointment for 2013 but not to the January 2 date sought by Luther. Nor did they approve Luther’s request that it retroactively approve her appointments of McGrath to the same position made in 2009 and 2011. Luther’s request included a reference to a state law which gives the Register of Deeds authority to appoint deputies for a two-year term but requires that those appointments be approved by county commissioners. Luther and the commissioners have been at odds in recent years over changes sought by the commission in the way her office was run, Last year Luther submitted to commissioners a bill for $5,200 for legal fees she incurred defending her Advanced General Dentistry office in a court action brought by commissioners in 2011 to compel DMD, MAGD, PLLC her office to comply with a change in accounting Master Academy of General Dentistry procedures which had NH AGD Delegate & Membership Chair been recommended in an Member AGD, ADA, CDA, NHDS, MDS audit. • Restorative, Preventive & Implant Dentistry The commission has not paid the bill even • Cosmetic (Veneers, Whitening & More) though the Belknap • Invisalign (Clear Alternative to Braces) County Convention, • Dental Surgery (Extractions) siding with Luther, placed a line item for • Gum Surgery (Laser) $5,200 in the county • Immediate Full & Partial Dentures budget earlier this year WE CARE • Same Day Emergencies for that purpose.

LACONIA — Faced with having to decide between competing applications for the $500,000 Community Development Block Grant for which Belknap County is eligible in the current round of funding, Belknap County Commissioners opted yesterday to support half a loaf for each of two applicants. After a brief discussion about grant proposals from the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region and Genesis Behavioral Health, Commissioner Ed Philpot of Laconia moved that the commission support two grant requests of $250,000 each. Genesis, which is a regional mental health agency, serving Belknap and southern Grafton Counties, wants the grant so that it consolidate its offices, currently located on Church Street and North Main Street in Laconia, in the former Southern New Hampshire University building at 22 Airport Way in Gilford, next to Laconia Municipal Airport. Maggie Pritchard, Genesis executive director, told the commissioners two weeks ago that the property is available for $550,000 and it will take $1.9 million to renovate it. The Laconia Boys & Girls Club recently purchased the St. James Episcopal Church building on North

Parishioners witness deconsecration of St. James Church By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
Newmarket man charged with possessing venomous snakes NEWMARKET (AP) — New Hampshire Fish and Game officials — alerted by an on-line ad offering a rattlesnake for sale — have seized two snakes and arrested a man in Newmarket. Mark Braswell faces two counts of possessing wildlife without a permit and one count of selling wildlife without a permit. Officials say their investigation began June 12, when they took possession of a Mojave rattlesnake that had been advertised. They say they developed enough information to obtain a search warrant for a Newmarket home, where a second rattlesnake was located and seized. The snakes were taken to New England Reptile Distributors in Plaistow, which is licensed to care for venomous snakes. The announcement by Fish and Game officials was made a day after a 3-foot-long alligator was caught in Newmarket’s Lamprey River.

LACONIA — Paul the Apostle addressed the Corinthians when he wrote “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,” but his words reached some hundred parishioners of St. James Episcopal Church who attended the service last evening at which their earthly house was deconsecrated. The parish, which was founded in 1862, has worshipped at the church on North Main Street since it was consecrated on June 6, 1965, but earlier this year agreed to sell the property to the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region. The Rt. Rev. Robert Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, opened by noting that “it is a great honor and privilege, though a heavy one” to conduct the service on what he called “a difficult day.” When the bishop invited parishioners to reflect on the occasion more than a dozen stepped forward. One woman said that she was “excited” since by passing the building to the Boys and Girls Club “we are supporting the community and the world beyond these walls.” A man assured his fellow parishioners that “the spirit that came here and drew us closer to God is still with us” while another declared “this isn’t the end. The end is a long way away.” When a woman said “it’s just a building, we’re the church,” another insisted “it’s not just a building” and broke down in tears. Likening the moment to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, Hirschfeld said that “in emptying out of God’s people from this building, we experience a resurrection” and reminded the parishioners “we are not going to be left on the cross forever.” The new arrangement between St. James Episcopal Church and the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, by which the two will hold services in the same building on Parade Road, the bishop said is “a glimmer of hope.” Appropriately the relationship between the two churches was foreshadowed in the lines of the opening hymn: “Oh, may thy house be mine abode, and all my work be praise. The world I find a settled rest, while others go and come, no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home.” Speaking to parishioners of St. James , David Dalzell, pastor of Good Shepherd, reminded them that when his church was founded in the 1980s, its members worshipped at St. James. “Now it’s our turn,” he said, handing the keys of his church to Tobias Nyatsambo, the pastor of St. James. Cheryl Avery, executive director of the Boy and Girls Club, spoke briefly of its mission to enable and encourage young people to realize their full potential. “Things are being raised up and made anew,” Bishop Hirschfeld said, adding that with the presence of the Boys and Girls Club “God’s work will be taking place inside our walls.”

Conservation group hosting talk about New England’s natural history MOULTONBOROUGH — On Tuesday, July 16 the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) will welcome Tom Wessels to the Lakes Region for a presentation titled “Reading the Forested Landscape”. The program will take place in the upstairs of the Carriage House at the Castle in the Clouds beginning at 7 p.m. This program is based on Tom’s book, “Reading the Forested Landscape, A Natural History of New England”. Using evidence such as the
shapes of trees, scars on their trunks, the pattern of decay in stumps, the construction of stone walls, and the lay of the land, it is possible to unravel complex stories etched into the forested landscape. Wessels describes how “reading the landscape is not just about identifying landscape patterns; more importantly, it is an interactive narrative that involves humans and nature.

MEREDITH — Community Garden Club of Meredith invites members and their guests to a “Hidden Garden Summer Stroll” on Thursday, July 18 at 12:30 p.m. to discover hidden gardens at The Weirs. The host, Jim Burghoff Jr., will share the history of the Victorian style homes and gardens and share tips and techniques used in creating these inviting and special spaces. Light refreshments will be served. Call 253-3120 to make reservations. Participants will meet at the Meredith Community Center to carpool at 12:30 p.m. Jim Burghoff Jr. is a former summer resident of Meredith’s Spindle Point where he and his family spent all of their summers since the early fifties. Jim’s grandfather, Harry Craig (a former president of the Spindle Point Civic Association), encouraged him to perform odd jobs around the Point to earn some extra spending money for the Weirs Beach arcades and to save money for his very first boat at the age of twelve. Jim had his regular customers that could depend on him to care for their lawns, gardens, and stack wood on a weekly basis throughout the summer months. Jim enjoyed being able to climb the stairs of the Spindle Point Lighthouse after caring for the lawn at the end of the Point. Needless to say...his pockets were always lined with quarters and he could be seen riding around the Point on his bright, yellow, Huffy 10 speed bicycle see next page

from preceding page or darting across the lake in his small aluminum boat. Jim remembers his other grandfather, Chet Burghoff, growing rows and rows of flowers for the Yalesville Methodist Church in Connecticut and also had a very large vegetable garden. Little did these grandfathers know how much they were influencing and helping to create an interest in gardening. One day, Jim was invited to retrieve some perennials from a garden. The neighbor was moving and she just couldn’t stand leaving all of her beautiful flowers behind. Jim created his very first perennial bed. In Whitefield, NH, Jim created a large perennial garden for the Morrison Nursing Home residents to enjoy. Jim was bitten by the gardening bug. In the year 2000, Jim’s sister passed away and his family had her memorial service at the Weirs Beach Methodist Church. While Jim’s mother and sister were walking back to historic Methodist Circle, they both noticed a small colonial blue cottage for sale. Jim bought it the very next month and slowly started to restore the cottage

After purchasing the property, the restoration and planting continued. Today the properties explode with colors and beauty from early spring through fall. People walking by ask if they can come onto the property to have their pictures taken. Often folks comment on how the house and gardens look like some of the old Victorian homes on Oaks Bluff in Martha’s Vineyard. Most recently, a local realtor wrote a small article including Jim’s property and called it...”Weirs Martha!” After the self guided stroll through the gardens, Charlene Malek, Garden Club vice president, will demonstrate gathered floral arrangements with blooms from members’ gardens and the Meredith Community Center garden.

WASHINGTON, DC — On June 19 some 500 invited guests including Senators, Representatives, and federal government officials were treated to the 4th annual Experience New Hampshire event. U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and the New Hampshire State Society welcomed more than 35 New Hampshire businesses to showcase the Granite State. The reception offered handmade foods and drinks from some of the hotels, inns, vineyards, breweries and restaurants to spotlight the state’s bustling tourism industry, which is New Hampshire’s second-largest industry. Great NH Restaurants CEO, Tom Boucher and Corporate Chef Nicole traveled to Washington DC to present a bountiful display of their culinary talents.

Sculptures and carvings of Terri Talas being featured this month Crafts League Shop
MEREDITH — The sculptures and carvings of Terri Talas are featured for the month of July at the NH League of Craftsmen’s Meredith Gallery. Her work features one of a kind pieces crafted from fossilized materials and naturally shed antlers. Talas will be the second speaker in the shop’s annual “Signature of Excellence” summer lecture series. Her talk, “The Magic of the Mammoth”, will be held Monday, July 15 from 7-8 p.m. in the Fireside Room at the Chase House, located at 312 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith. Space is limited and seats can be reserved in advance by calling the gallery at (603) 279-7920. Over the past thirty years, Talas has been known for her portrayals of nature and wildlife in permanent mural installations for museums and nature centers, oil paintings, and book illustrations. Primarily a self-taught artist, she will give a short introduction to her career and then move on to a demonstration of the materials she uses, including information on how she obtains them, and the dif-
ferences in the rich colors of ancient wooly mammoth ivory rising from the permafrost in Alaska and the depths of the North Sea. There will be many actual examples on hand for people to see and experience. Terri will also discuss her carving process, which includes the tools she uses and a slide show to outline the evolution of a carving. During the 1990s Terri was the Lead Artist for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management where her murals and artwork were widely praised and won numerous awards. Her permanent installations include murals in the lobbies of Heritage Park Museums in Massachusetts. Her work as a private artist included exhibit panels for nature centers across the country and book illustrations. Her clients included Defenders of Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The artistry of her recent sculptures was recognized at a 2012 juried show at the Great Plains Museum, University of Nebraska.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
fewer options are better today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve created a steady stream of activity and joy -- or at least you thought that’s what it was going to be. Now it may feel more like a hectic schedule. Cut back now. Take it easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In food, bitterness is made palatable by adding something sweet, salty or sour. As for internal bitterness, salty or sour thoughts won’t balance it at all. Go for the sweetness, and you’ll get a delicious result. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve let go of minor grudges and resentments before, and now you’re in the same place all over again. Should you forgive one more time? No. Forgive a thousand more times. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 11). A retreat in the next six months will change your perspective and help you earn big, too. You’ll act to improve your family dynamic and influence your kin to lead healthier lives. What you accomplish in September will put you in the running for an award. An enthusiastic partner is part of your success equation in September. Pisces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 22, 19, 35 and 16.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to worry about your trade secrets getting out. Even if they did, the others wouldn’t know what to do with them. It turns out what’s relevant to you would be a lot of work for the others to get into. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You used to have location envy, but you’re starting to realize that you can connect with the world you want to be a part of from wherever you live right now. Use the library and the Internet or, if need be, the Internet at the library. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll examine the elements that make up your lifestyle. It’s the people you talk to, the pictures and notes on your wall, the errands and habits and decor and food... Bit by bit, you’re building something beautiful. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t be afraid to speak your true opinion today, especially when you sense that you’re with a kindred spirit. You’ll likely say the thing the other person has always thought, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A handshake will convey secret meaning. Beware of the one who turns the shake so that the top of your hand faces the ground and his is on top. This dominating person won’t treat you as an equal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s wisdom in playing it cool, but not so cool that you don’t show emotion. Showing your feelings, or at least a glimpse of them, takes confidence. People will see you as real. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). By being open to your wilder instincts, you keep yourself on your toes and heighten the energy level of everyone around you. But go too far with this, and people get jumpy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone will always say that the ship is sinking, but don’t be too quick to jump off. Show a little faith in your vessel. The same goes for your idea, project or relationship. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Have you ever heard of “decision fatigue”? Maybe you haven’t named it yet, but you’ve felt it every time you leave the grocery store after a big shop. It drains your willpower. That’s why

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, July 11, 2013
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, July 11, the 192nd day of 2013. There are 173 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 11, 1533, Pope Clement VII issued a bull of excommunication against England’s King Henry VIII for the annulment of the king’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon and subsequent marriage to second wife Anne Boleyn. On this date: In 1767, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, was born in Braintree, Mass. In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-established by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Weehawken, N.J. In 1859, Big Ben, the great bell inside the famous London clock tower, chimed for the first time. In 1922, the Hollywood Bowl officially opened with a program called “Symphonies Under the Stars” with Alfred Hertz conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1937, American composer and pianist George Gershwin died at a Los Angeles hospital of a brain tumor; he was 38. In 1952, the Republican national convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and Richard M. Nixon for vice president. In 1960, the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was first published by J.B. Lippincott and Co. In 1973, a Varig 707 from Brazil made an emergency crash-landing outside Paris after fire broke out on board, sending smoke into the cabin; 123 of the 134 people on board perished. In 1979, the abandoned U.S. space station Skylab made a spectacular return to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere and showering debris over the Indian Ocean and Australia. In 1988, nine people were killed when suspected Palestinian gunmen attacked hundreds of tourists aboard a Greek cruise ship, the City of Poros, which was steaming toward a marina in suburban Athens. In 1995, the U.N.-designated “safe haven” of Srebrenica in Bosnia-Herzegovina fell to Bosnian Serb forces, who then carried out the killings of 8,000 Muslim men and boys. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush put responsibility squarely on the CIA for his disputed claim that Iraq had tried to acquire nuclear material from Africa, prompting Director George Tenet to publicly accept full blame for the miscue. Five years ago: Oil prices reached a record high of $147.27 a barrel. IndyMac Bank’s assets were seized by federal regulators. A North Korean soldier fatally shot a South Korean tourist at a northern mountain resort, further straining relations between the two Koreas. One year ago: Unflinching before a skeptical NAACP crowd in Houston, Republican Mitt Romney declared he’d do more for African-Americans than Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president. Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first U.S. secretary of state to visit Laos in more than five decades. The Syrian ambassador to Iraq defected, denouncing President Bashar Assad.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, July 11, 2013— Page 23
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am 29 years old, own my home and support myself. I am in a serious relationship with a wonderful man who is African-American. All of my life, my family has been ruled by my maternal grandmother. My “nana” doesn’t approve of this relationship because my boyfriend is black and I am white, and this has caused much heartache for me. My mother says I am not allowed to bring my boyfriend to family functions, because “it will kill my grandmother.” She also says I am selfish to continue this relationship despite the fact that my parents and nana don’t approve. Annie, I’m planning to marry this man. I don’t feel that I should have to give up my happiness because my family cannot accept the man I have chosen to spend my life with. How do I convince my parents that I’m entitled to happiness regardless of what they think? I am in so much pain because it seems that my parents care more about my nana’s feelings than their daughter’s future. -- Devastated Dear Devastated: If this is the man you are going to marry, then do it and stop worrying about your family’s approval. You should pay attention to them if your choices are poor -if you pick abusers or addicts, for example. But if your guy is good to you and you will take care of each other throughout life’s ups and downs, you do not need to please anyone else. While it would be sad if your family cannot eventually learn to accept this, please have the courage of your convictions. Dear Annie: My husband and I recently traveled with another couple to a different city for a sporting event. The area where we stayed had a shuttle bus to take us to the ballgame. After the game, our husbands walked ahead of us, and my friend and I were talking and didn’t realize that we were not walking toward the shuttle bus. By the time we noticed,
about 10 people were in line between our husbands and us. We said, “Excuse me,” and tried to get to our husbands, and at least four people started screaming, “Who do you think you are trying to cut the line? You New Yorkers just push ahead of everybody.” They continued to make uncomplimentary remarks about New Yorkers (we don’t even live there anymore). My friend and I just stood there because we didn’t want to get into an argument. What should we have done? -- Judy Dear Judy: It might have helped if you had simply said, “So sorry! Please excuse us. We need to catch up to our husbands,” and then called to the men so they could confirm. But people are not obligated to let you pass them in line, and you were smart not to pick a fight with these belligerent folks. We trust your husbands saved you seats on the shuttle. Dear Annie: I disagree with your response to “Rejected,” whose wife spends her time online or with her widowed mother instead of in the bedroom. If this had been a woman writing about her husband, your first reaction would have been to suggest an affair. I think this explains everything. My ex used to do the same thing when she “visited her aunt.” I found out when I saw an envelope addressed to a P.O. Box and read about her sexual exploits. She is probably staying with him so she won’t have to give him money in a divorce. -- Been There and Had It Done to Me Dear Been: You could be right. However, he said they have been married for 34 years. For many women, sex after menopause becomes a miserable chore or even a painful experience. We wouldn’t rule out an affair, but we think it’s more likely she’s simply avoiding intimacy.
