LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners took it on the chin last night as the Executive Committee of the County Convention rejected two of the three requests for fund transfers the commissioners had sought, and a member of the public accused commissioners of neglecting the maintenance at the Belknap County House of Correction in order to force the county to build a new jail. ‘’They’re leaving it a mess to force a new jail on us,’’ charged David DeVoy of Sanbornton, who was joined in his criticism of the three-member commission by other

members of the public, as well as members of the County Convention, for their handling of the jail situation.

One member of the audience asked why the County Commissioners weren’t at the County Convention meeting, which followed on the heels of the Executive Committee meeting, which was attended by one member of the commission, Chairman John Thomas of Belmont.

County Administrator Debra Shackett of Belmont said that members of the commission weren’t aware until Monday morning that the agenda for the County Convention meeting had been changed from the one the county website which said that the meeting

was called to hear a request from the Gunstock Mountain Resort for a revue anticipation note to include new items, including a discussion of the ongoing battle over control of line items in the county budget and a discussion of the jail situation. ‘’They had no knowledge that the convention was going beyond the Gunstock request. We didn’t find out until eight o’clock Monday morning what items had been added to the agenda,’’ said Shackett, who pointed out that the commissioners didn’t have sufficient time in which to post a public notice that they would be meeting as a public body Monday night. see JAIL page 8

Elon Musk unveils ‘Hyperloop’ transport concept

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Imagine strapping into a car-sized capsule and hurtling through a tube at more than 700 mph — not for the thrill of it, but to get where you need to go.

On Monday, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk unveiled a transportation concept that he said could whisk passengers the nearly 400 miles between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 30 minutes — half the time it takes an airplane.

If it’s ever built.

His “Hyperloop” system for travel between major cities is akin to the pneumatic tubes that transport capsules stuffed with paperwork in older buildings.

In this case, the cargo would be people, reclining for a ride that would start with a force of acceleration like an airplane but then be turbulence free.

Capsules would catapult through a large, nearly air-free tube.

Inside, they would be see HYPER page 13

Jury finds ‘Whitey’ Bulger guilty of 11 killings BOSTON (AP) — James “Whitey” Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives, was convicted Monday in a string of 11 killings and dozens of other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant.

Bulger, 83, stood silently and showed no reaction to the verdict, which brought to a close a case that not only transfixed the city with its grisly violence but exposed corruption inside the Boston FBI and an overly cozy relationship between the bureau and

its underworld snitches.

Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, which listed 33 criminal acts — among them, 19 murders that he allegedly helped orchestrate or carried out himself during the 1970s and ‘80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s ruthless Irish mob.

After 4½ days of deliberations, the federal jury decided he took part in 11 of those murders, along with nearly all the other crimes on the list, including acts of extortion, money laundering and drug dealing. He was also found guilty of 30 other offenses, including

possession of machine guns.

Bulger could get life in prison at sentencing Nov. 13. But given his age, even a modest term could amount to a life sentence for the slightly stooped, whitebearded Bulger.

As court broke up, Bulger turned to his relatives and gave them a thumbsup. A woman in the gallery taunted him as he was led away, apparently imitating machine-gun fire as she yelled: “Rat-a-tattat, Whitey!” see BULGER page 14

NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s largest police department illegally and systematically singled out large numbers of blacks and Hispanics under its stop-andfrisk policy, a federal judge ruled Monday while appointing an independent monitor to oversee major changes, including body cameras on some officers.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would

appeal the ruling, which was a stinging rebuke to a policy he and the New York Police Department have defended as a lifesaving, crime-fighting tool that helped lead the city to historic crime lows. The legal outcome could affect how and whether other cities employ the tactic.

“The city’s highest officials have turned a blind eye to the evidence that officers are

conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner,” U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin wrote in her ruling. “In their zeal to defend a policy that they believe to be effective, they have willfully ignored overwhelming proof that the policy of targeting ‘the right people’ is racially discriminatory.”

Stop-and-frisk has been around for decades see FRISK page 14

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A hospital technician accused of causing a multi-state outbreak of hepatitis C will plead guilty in exchange for a prison term of 30 to 40 years, according to a plea agreement filed Monday in New Hampshire federal court.

The plea says it would allow David Kwiat-

kowski to avoid criminal charges in Kansas, Maryland and Georgia — states where authorities say the traveling cardiac technologist injected himself with painkillers then put saline back in the tainted needles.

Dozens of patients in three states were infected as a result of Kwiatkowski’s

actions, according to the plea agreement.

One patient in Kansas who was infected with hepatitis C genetically linked to Kwiatkowski’s strain died and the infection played a “contributing role” in the patient’s death, the plea agreement said. see KWIATKOWSKI page 13

2 GOP positions on immigration — both wrong On immigration, the Republican Party is trapped in two trains of thought, each speeding along the wrong track. At the tea party end, there’s absolute resistance to normalizing the status of illegal immigrants. On the cheap-labor side, there’s this big push to admit as many unskilled immigrants as possible.

The first view, that putting millions of illegal immigrants on the path to citizenship rewards lawbreakers, is unhelpful. It is true that they broke the law by taking jobs in the United States. It is also true that their employers broke the law in hiring them. An honest gathering of all the lawbreakers would make for an interesting roundup.

The building of this 11-millionstrong population of undocumented workers had another player — the federal government.

Until Barack Obama assumed office, no president took enforcing the ban on hiring illegal workers very seriously. Also making the job difficult is the loophole letting employers accept any reasonably good-looking Social Security card as proof of right to work here.

Social Security cards are often stolen, and plausible ones are easy to counterfeit.

The proposed reforms would end all that. Companies would have to send the information to a central database confirming a prospective hire’s right to work here. Tougher sanctions, meanwhile, would motivate employers to follow the law.

Without passage of the immigration reforms, none of this will occur. The Swiss cheese system by which undocumented workers and their employers slip through the law will remain. If you really want to end illegal immigration, the reforms offer the only reliable route. And politically they won’t happen if there’s no path to citizenship.

This is pretty obvious, but in many cases, animus toward Latinos trumps even self-interest.

Iowa Rep. Steve King has built quite a repertory of ethnic insults, most recently referring to border crossers’ calves as “the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana.”

The other Republican track wants lots and lots of legal, low-skilled workers to ensure that restaurants, hotels and other service businesses need never raise their wages.

Though the hourly pay of cooks and hotel maids is actually falling, there can never be “low-enough” for the cheap-labor rump of the Republican Party.

The bill that passed the Senate provides for a new class of visas for up to 200,000 low-skilled workers. That number was reached through a delicate compromise with labor, which understandably doesn’t like the idea.

But Republican Reps. Ted Poe of Texas and Raul Labrador of Idaho want more, many more, low-skilled workers. They’re proposing about 400,000 visas a year.

This pleases the American Hotel and Lodging Association — to an extent.

“Ideally, there should be no cap,” association official Shawn McBurney told The Wall Street Journal. “It should be driven by the market.”

By market, McBurney presumably means not the United States labor market, but the Western Hemispheric labor market. Hey, throw in the other hemisphere, too.

Labrador plays an interesting double game — on one hand breathing fire against the path to citizenship; on the other, opening a wide highway for imported cheap labor. Perhaps there’s some consistency here: Expanding the low-skilled visa program and keeping illegal immigrants vulnerable both depress wages.

Sympathy goes to that minority of Republicans who understand what it takes to get immigration reform passed and the stakes in not succeeding. They include Arizona Sen. John McCain and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Under assault by their party’s radical wings, these lawmakers deserve an extra star for bravery.

Of course, demonizing Latinos while ignoring the economic interests of all blue-collar workers is also not great politics. A Republican Party unable to change these directions is chugging into oblivion.

LETTERS Dunn could learn a lot from the state about avoiding responsibility To The Daily Sun, My wife Elaine and I own the Belknap Point Motel here in Gilford.

Our motel has a swim area and raft on the lake. Last week a guest reported to me that they could see a television set on the lake bottom between the shore and the raft in about 10 feet of water. Apparently someone decided it was easier to dispose of a television by dumping it in the lake than taking it to the transfer station and paying the disposal fee. Since it is state property, I decided to call the state to remove it. I got referred and transferred five

or six times to various state agencies, each claiming to not be the responsible agency. Out of frustration I called Scott Dunn, our town administrator.

After explaining the situation to Scott he said without hesitation, “I’ll take care of it. Next time I’m out in the boat I’ll come by and get it out.”

I was very surprised by Scott’s response and once again want to say “Thank You” for your outstanding service.

Universities teach students to be about as free-thinking as ants To The Daily Sun, PSU, goof-ball professor George Maloof had the “academic” fertilizer spreader out again. I hope the administration at the university realizes every time this man opens his mouth he weakens the nation and the credibility of the college. George and the pointy-head gang in academia think the great windmills that surround Newfound Lake improve the scenery there. Another writer pointed out how scary it is to think we are paying people like George small fortunes to “educate” our kids with their deranged, partisan, logic. There is no group in America dragging around more fears, insecurities and “hang ups” than the cloistered, self-congratulating, above all others crowd at the “academy”. Simply finding one to think as an “individual” is as rare as the sighting of a yellow bellied sap sucker. They are like a nest of jungle, leaf-cutter ants all placed on earth to perform a single task — which is to constrain business success through sky high taxation, unending new rules and guillotine regulations that even Houdini could not extricate himself from.

The ultimate “academy” mission is to replace capitalism with socialism through government the size of a galaxy, as expensive as a kings ransom, as bankrupting as Detroit unions, and as controlling as a day at the gulag. This is what your kids are being taught when you send them to PSU and almost every other university in America. If you think your

son or daughter is being taught some healthy, open and honest view of the world, I can assure you with certainty they are not. Every whack-O, distorted, distilled , partisan, delusion of the world that grips academia like a boa constrictor is inculcated as if college were Sunday school. There is no honest, unbiased, offering of all sides of the issues permitting the kids to think for themselves, allowing them to come to their own conclusions. The college is not some OPEN FORUM where free thinking is allowed to happen. Freedom of speech on a college campus is muted to the “company line of beliefs” where the owners have one mission. That is to covey the windmills that have wrecked the sight and sound around Newfound Lake must be embraced and loved by all because they say so. Professor beliefs must be your beliefs. Any opposing arguments to the contrary, no matter the quality of the arguments, must be demonized and discredited. The stronger those arguments the louder the screaming.

Professors channel Obama, opposing thinking is “DANGEROUS”. You saw how quickly the IRS interpreted Obama’s statement as “legal cover” to launch an all out, illegal war on conservatives and the tea party to improve Obama’s election odds after he and his agenda had been shredded by the tea party in the 2010 election. Obama used the enforcing arm of government to CONTROL FREE SPEECH because it could harm him politically. see next page

LETTERS Alton Community Services would like to serve more people To The Daily Sun, Alton Community Services is entering its 15th year. Our mission is providing relief to the poor, distressed or underprivileged throughout our community. ACS tries to meet their physical, spiritual needs through pour provision of food, clothing, furniture and referral services.

The churches of Alton and Alton Bay continue to sponsor us and are represented on our board. At our fall meeting we appointed J. Meehan to the board. He works closely with St. Katherine Drexel in assisting those in need. We are trying to coordinate our efforts in assisting the less fortunate.

We are still trying to reach more families. Laconia has over 1,000 who come to their food pantry, Wolfeboro 80, Barnstead 35, GIW 35, New Durham 30, and Alton 20-30. New Hampshire Food Bank thinks we are not reaching the families who would benefit our program. The families that

receive food stamps, WIC or reduced lunches at school, as well as Back Pack programs would be eligible for our program. Our office is open Saturday mornings from 8 to 11 a.m. or by appointment. Our telephone number is 875-CARE (2273), if we do not answer please leave a message.

The local gardeners have told me that they are planting extra vegetables for the pantry. Maxfield Realty on Main St. as well as Spencer Hughes at the Bay has become a drop-off center for the pantry as well as Profile Bank and Alton Home and Lumber, a/k/a Reuben’s Store. We are in need of canned vegetables as well as jellies and jams. condiments as well as shampoos paper products. Our shelves are dwindling down.

We would like to give a heartfelt thanks to all who continually support us with their time and donations.

Everyone at LRGH was exceptionally caring and competent To The Daily Sun, I recently had an 11 day stay at Lakes Region General Hospital, having entered through the emergency department. Yes, I did have to wait. But triage is triage and there were those who were more in need of urgent care than I and, therefore, earned their place in line.

Once admitted to the ER, my care was top notch. Doctors Matrice and Jeffery were decisive, kind, explained there actions, ordered tests and made their diagnosis, and arranged my admission. The nurses were excellent, efficient and caring. The ER was jumping with patients but nothing seemed hurried. I felt like I was the only patient there and all their attention and skill was for me.

After I was admitted and in my room, I couldn’t have asked for better care. I asked how many employees are on the floor and was told about 30, counting three shifts a day an those in house keeping. There wasn’t a sour face, short temper or bad attitude anywhere. From housekeeping staff, nurses, LNAs and the nice young lady who delivered meals. Speaking of meals; the kitchen was most accommodating, creating dishes for me that

were not really on the menu (yes, menu). You get to choose from a varied and delicious variety of breakfast, lunch, dinner and in-between snacks.

I never had a bad meal. Hot food was hot and cold was cold.

From the staff who took blood, physical therapists to the volunteers who delivered mail and flowers, not a bad apple in the bunch.

And finally to my doctors, surgeons Dr. Greg McCarthy and Dr. Raza Shariff — both specialists in what they do. What they do is reassure, explain, calm fears and instill trust so that I knew from the get-go what to expect so I didn’t worry when I came to and felt like I’d been a low jumper in a hurdles race. I couldn’t have had better care anywhere.

LRGH is a wonderful facility with modern, up-to-date equipment, well trained staff and soon to be renovated rooms. I had the good fortune to be on 4 North, the top floor of the hospital, which all the staff call “The Penthouse”. It certainly is. Everyone I came in contact with has earned my heartfelt thanks, deepest respect and confidence.

WOW Trail won’t be as idyllic as the Winnipesaukee River Trail To The Daily Sun, RE: Letter from Peter Davis on August 9; “WOW Trail is a Golden Gem that needs to be completed ASAP” Peter, not to dampen your enthusi-

asm, but it is important to point out the difference between the trail you observed in Tilton and the one proposed for Laconia. As you stated, the Winnipesaukee River Trail is built see next page

from preceding page Do you think George Maloof or Leo Sandy or any other academic tightly wrapped in the deepest of partisan political thinking have the discipline and courage to offer up all SIDES of every environmental or economic or social argument allowing the student to DECIDE FOR HIMSELF the right conclusion. Consider for a moment the poor student trapped in the college setting with his grade and future totally dependent on listening to and believ-

ing the ratings of socialist leaf cutter professors like George determined to replace capitalism with welfare and oil and gas with high cost wind. Don’t believe me, try living in Germany or Denmark — both countries use lots of wind and their bills are 300 percent the cost of yours this month. George Maloof and Leo Sandy are only going to teach you what they WANT YOU TO HEAR, not what you NEED TO HEAR. Tony Boutin Gilford

tricted Senate District 7. At the time, Mosca was also an attorney who was representing former House Speaker Bill O’Brien.

Youssef, of Laconia, won in a primary race against Bill Grimm, of Franklin, but lost in the general election to Democrat Andrew Hosmer, also of Laconia.

In a ruling issued Aug. 6, LaBonte said investigators determined the fake blog was purchased from GoDaddy and had the same billing address as Same Day Computer – Youssef’s business. The investigator reported to LaBonte that when he called the telephone number listed on the GoDaddy purchase he was able to reach Youssef.

Mosca filed his complaint in February, 2012 — three months after Hosmer beat Youssef 15,573 to 10,768.

Investigators said the website was created on Sept. 6, 2012 and expires on Sept. 6, 2013.

CONCORD — Leo Fraser, who represented Laconia in the New Hampshire Senate from 1991 until 2002, passed away at the age of 86 on Friday, Aug. 9.

Born in Boston in 1926, Fraser graduated from the High School of Commerce and Northeastern College before earning his law degree at the New England School of Law. He served in the Marine Corps between 1944 and 1946 and was stationed in the Far East in the aftermath of World War II. Returning to Boston, Fraser went to work in the insurance industry as a claims adjuster at Gordon Boyd & Company. In 1970, Fraser, his wife Susan and growing family moved to New Hampshire, where he served as Insurance Commissioner until 1976, when he formed Fraser Insurance Services, a claims business still owned and operated by the family on Green Street in Concord.

The Frasers settled in Pittsfield where he served as town moderator and selectman before representing the town as a Republican member of the New Hampshire of Representa-

tives for four terms. As a member and chairman of the House Commerce Committee he played a major role in the overhaul of banking regulation during the 1980s.

Elected to the New Hampshire Senate in the midst of a severe recession, Fraser lent his knowledge and experience of the financial services industry to a series of economic development initiatives pursued by the Senate. When Gov. Jeanne Shaheen chose not to close the Lakes Region Facility (prison) in Laconia as scheduled, Fraser, together with city officials, chiefly then-Mayor Matt Lahey and City Manager Dan McKeever, mounted a determined effort to secure compensation for the city, which culminated in the creation of the Robbie Mills Sports Complex on state land leased for 99 years at a $1 a year.

Fraser was predeceased by Susan, his wife of 48 years, in 1998 and is survived by 10 children, including his son, Mark of Laconia, 20 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and two sisters.

MEREDITH – A Bay State woman was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for evaluation after she was injured in a boat in which she was a passenger at 11:51 a.m. Saturday.

State Marine Patrol investigators said Roger Delisle, 49, of Leominster, Mass., was driving a 21-foot Chapparal from Bear Island. Investigators

said he was in a no-wake area but was already on plane.

A teenager was following him on a Sea Doo ski craft. When Delisle suddenly stopped his boat, the two crafts collided.

Delisle’s passenger, Lori Delisle, was seated in the back of the Chapparal and was taken to the hospital for possible injuries.

CONCORD — The state Attorney General’s Office has determined that unsuccessful state Senate Republican candidate Josh Youssef of Laconia violated the Provisions for the Purity of Elections during his campaign last year by creating a blog under the name of his ex-wife’s attorney.

Stephen LaBonte from the Civil Bureau of the A.G.’s Office ordered Youssef to cease and desist operating the edmoscablog.com or face possible criminal charges.

“Given the similar website design and layout it appears as though if someone had read “’edmoscablog.com’” they could have reasonably thought the blog was written by Ed Mosca.

“The deceptive nature of your blog could have easily misled viewers, in violation of RSA 666.6,” LaBonte wrote.

Mosca represented Youssef’s wife during their acrimonious divorce — parts of which played out in public after Youssef announced his candidacy for the seat in the newly redis-

At City Council, Laconia firefighters discuss overtime, MRI report and morale

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson told the City Council last night that soon after receiving a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant of $642,028 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and adding four firefighters, overtime hours during the July dropped by 16 percent.

However, Erickson cautioned that since the Laconia Professional Firefighters entered a new collective bargaining agreement, compensation has increased. “The amount of overtime has fallen, but the cost of overtime has risen,” he said. At the same time, time lost to injuries also decreased.

Erickson said there were 357 calls for service in July, nearly half of them back-to-back, but with the additional personnel firefighters recalled to duty only once, compared to 16 times during the same period a year ago.

Captain Kirk Beattie offered the council an outline of the steps the department has taken in response to the recommendations of Municipal Resources Inc. of Meredith, which presented its report on on its report on the department’s organization and operations in March. He stressed that the firefighters themselves have taken “ownership” of the report and

have begun to address its recommendations.

Beattie said that one of the most important initiatives is the reassessment of the department’s core mission, in particular the future of the dive team. “This is one of the big issues,” he said. Standard operating procedures are in the process of being rewritten, personnel are being trained to perform routine fire inspections and the Health and Safety Committee has been revived under the direction of Deputy Chief Deb Pendergast.

With nine firefighters with fewer than two years and 16 with fewer than five years with the department, the training regimen has been strengthened under the supervision of shift officers, Beattie said.

Beattie acknowledged that the report questioned morale in the department, especially when negotiations with the city over a new collective bargaining agreement were at impasse. “Morale,” he said, “is subjective” while conceding that morale improved with the ratification of the new contract. At the same time, he emphasized that the department averaged only four sick days a year per firefighter, which he took to signal good morale. “If morale wasn’t good, they wouldn’t be coming to work every day and doing a good job,” Beattie said.

Overheated stove top burner blamed for 2-alarm fire on Fair Street

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA – A twoalarm fire at a house on the corner of Clay and Fair streets Saturday morning was apparently started by a stove burner.

Fire Chief Ken Erickson said yesterday that a tenant in the rear apartment of 37 Fair St. was heating water on an electric stove but had put the pan of water on one of the unheated burners.

He said the “on” burner continued to heat and melted the wires in the control panel which started a fire. He said the fire burned upward and Fire hoses stretch into the Clay Street side of a two-family home Saturday morning. Firefighters extinignited the cabinets guished the two alarm blaze that started on a stove that was reported at 9:05 a.m. (Laconia Daily Sun which in turn ignited photo/Gail Ober) the combustible ceiling tile in the kitchen. gency officials fielded regarding the fire and called The fire spread laterally across the ceiling, Erickfor a second alarm when he saw smoke coming from son said, and began to burn into the wall and attic. the eaves of the house.

On-duty supervisor Capt. Bob Landry called for Erickson said firefighters knocked down the fire a first-alarm because of the number of calls emeralmost immediately and opened the ceiling to cut off

any fire extension into the rest of the home. He said the owner lives in the front apartment facing Fair Street and her portion of the home was relatively undamaged.

Overall the chief estimated the blaze to have done about $30,000 in damage, but acknowledged the number could be on the low side.

He said everyone in the home was able to get out without injury.

One Belmont firefighter suffered a broken finger while working in the cellar.

Erickson said structures in city’s South End are old wood construction and the houses are very close to each other. He said fires in the area, on windy and dry days like Saturday, run a high risk of quickly spreading to surrounding buildings.

He also said the department wasn’t on any other calls when the fire was reported at 9:05 a.m. and they were able to respond with six firefighters within minutes. Firefighters cleared the area at 10:30 a.m.

Erickson said firefighters from Gilford, Belmont and Tilton-Northfield assisted at the scene and other communities were called to either help on Fair Street or cover the rest of the city.

JAIL from page one ‘’They couldn’t be here because they didn’t know,’’ said Shackett.

One woman in the audience asked if there was a process to unseat the commissioners and Rep. Richard Burchell (R-Gilmanton) suggested she look at state statues which would allow her to petition for see next page

Man charged with 2nd degree assault in Gilmanton GILMANTON — A man who faces one count of second-degree assault for allegedly choking a woman at her Crystal Lake Road home Sunday afternoon is free on $15,000 perJacob LaBonte (Courtesy sonal recognizance bail. photo) Affidavits submitted yesterday to the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, said Jacob LaBonte, 24, 43 Upland Drive in Gilford was allegedly at the victim’s home and causing a disturbance.

Someone from the house called 9-1-1 at 3:45 p.m. and between the time 9-1-1 was called and police arrived LaBonte allegedly put his hands around the woman’s neck and applied enough pressure to cut off her air supply.

LaBonte fled into the nearby woods. Gilmanton and a K-9 from the Alton Police attempted to find LaBonte but were initially unsuccessful, said Pros-

ecutor David Estes. He said one of the officers heard a noise and found him.

Estes said LaBonte has a number of criminal convictions dating back to 2007, including possession of drugs, stemming from appearances in Laconia District Court and the Belknap County Superior Court, resisting arrest in 2011, and the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in 2012. He said the arresting officer noted LaBonte had alcohol on his breath but he could not say whether or not he was impaired.

LaBonte’s attorney said he is employed and recently bought a car for which he has car and insurance payments. She said he has two children, pays child support, and lives with his parents.

She said LaBonte “maintains his innocence,” will waive extradition, and noted he has never failed to appear in court.

Judge Jim Carroll ordered LaBonte to stay out of Gilmanton, not to consume any alcohol or drugs, and that he be immediately detained if found to be consuming alcohol.

from preceding page their removal.

The public’s criticisms of the commissioners came after members of the convention, a dozen of whom had toured the Belknap County House of Corrections earlier in the day, talked about their impressions of the facility and the process followed by the commissioners in coming up with a proposal they have received from consultants for a new $42.5 million Community Corrections facility.

Rep. Frank Tilton (R-Laconia) talked about the history of the jail planning process and said that convention members had agreed to a $160,000 supplemental appropriation in 2012 with the thought that there would be a plan for a new facility. ‘’They got the best in the country and they cost the best too,’’ said Tilton, who said that the Ricci Greene consulting firm came up with a plan which had two options, both for new construction, but nothing that was anywhere close to a final design and had ruled out options for use of the current facility.

Rep. Robert Greemore (R-Meredith), said that he saw a lot of deficiencies when he toured the jail two years ago which have since been corrected and that he was hopeful that a solution could be devised which would provide for better maintenance of the current facility and and the creation of new program space.

Rep. Herb Vadney (R-Meredith) said that any addition or renovations which increased the current jail size by 15 percent would trigger a requirement that all of its systems be brought up to current code, which would be extremely expensive.

Delegation Chairman Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith) said that she didn’t think money had been spent wisely in the past, including what she said was $500,000 for an addition to the Belknap County complex which included the meeting room used by the convention and offices for the commissioners, and said the money should have been spent on repairs to the jail.

Rep. Lisa DiMartino (D-Gilford) said that the county needed to do things correctly when it came to the jail situation and wondered what role convention members could play in jail planning. Rep. Burchell proposed having a subcommittee, but Rep. Tilton said that wasn’t the role of the convention and that the commissioners already had a jail planning committee.

County Administrator Shackett said that the committee has been working hard to develop a plan and is studying six different options, including contracting with another county, and would welcome public input from members of the convention and others.

Greemore said that he had been invited to take part in some of the jail planning meetings and had attended a few, but thought they were too heavily weighted with members of the corrections community and didn’t have much in the way of general public input, including from contractors and construction people.

He joked that since ‘’we are bad people doing bad things’’ he might take an interest in attending some future jail planning committee meetings.

His comment about ‘’bad people’’ came from a comment made by Belknap County Commissioner Ed Philpot (D-Laconia) at a recent Belknap County Democratic Party picnic at which Philpot criticized the Republican majority of the County Convention.

Philpot was re-elected to a second term on the commission in 2012, defeating Dave DeVoy, the man who charged last night that commissioners were neglecting the jail.

The transfer requests defeated by the Executive Committee, which met prior to the Convention meeting, involved $4,500 for the County Convention, defeated 6-0 with one abstention, and $5,500 for the Finance Department for an employee change in health coverage, by a 4-3 vote.

Approved by a 4-3 vote was the transfer of $5,500 to Corrections Department salary account. The commission had requested a $10,500 transfer.

Big Banana brings fresh, local produce to Messer Street storefront

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Without the grinning gorilla, the Big Banana, the popular fruit and vegetable stand that was a landmark at McIntyre Circle for years, has been reincarnated by Joanne McNulty, who recently opened an urban farmstand on Messer Street.

McNulty,, who farms some two-and-a-half acres on Gunstock Hill Road in Gilford remaining from the Rowe Farm — among the oldest in town — said that her daughter Patrice, now 29, started the business Joanne McNulty hefts an ear of sweet corn and ripe tomato, just two of an array of fresh vegetables as a child. “She wanted and fruits available at the Big Banana, the city’s first urban farmstand. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/ a pony,” McNulty MIchael Kitch). recalled, “and we told her she would have to work for it. She began growsold the vegetables to the neighbors.” Patrice, who ing zucchini, tomatoes and cucumbers,” she continis pursuing her doctoral degree at the University of ued. “Then she hitched the dog to her wagon and Maryland, not only got her pony, but paid a share of

her college expenses.

Meanwhile, McNulty embarked on “community supported agriculture” (CSA), by which subscribers purchase shares of the anticipated harvest then collect their portions as the crops ripen. At the same time, she sold jams and jellies at area farmstands.

She said that the CSA model proved very successful, but she was prohibited from operating a farmstand by the town zoning ordinance and the volume of traffic became something of a nuisance. “We just got too busy,” she said. “We outgrew it.”

The trade name Big Banana expired in 2003 and McNulty registered it with the New Hampshire Secretary of State in 2009, since when her CSA operation has gone that name. She said that the name will soon appear on sign marking the store.

On the eve of this year’s harvest, McNulty rented space at 229 Messer St. where she intends to offer locally grown fruits and vegetables, along with fresh baked bread and pastries, jams and jellies as well as maple products, honey and coffee. She said that when she decided to open the store she posted a message on the New Hampshire Farm Bureau website that she was looking “for all kinds of stuff, including as much organic produce as I can get.”

McNulty said that she was encouraged by the immediate response, which together with the produce from see next page

M’BORO from page one uled under the statute authorizing the selectmen to remove both appointed and elected members of land use boards — the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) — for “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.”

The format of the hearing provides 30 minutes for the selectboard to present the charges, 30 minutes for the accused to respond and time for the selectmen to deliberate. The case against Bartlett is scheduled to be presented at 1 p.m. and against Ryerson at 3:30 p.m. Town Counsel Peter Minkow will serve as an adviser to the selectboard.

The selectboard outlined issues to be considered, with the caveat that the proceedings would not necessarily be confined to them, in certified letters to Bartlett and Ryerson dated Aug. 8 and released to the public yesterday.

Charges against both stem from their actions on July 10, when the Planning Board approved construction of an observation tower on Red Hill by Bob and Cathy Williams, doing business as Bear’s Nest Trail, LLC. However, the selectboard also alleges that Bartlett behaved improperly at an earlier hearing before the Planning Board while Ryerson neglected her duty by failing to attend eight of the last 12 board meetings.

The Williamses built the 900-square foot lookout tower, with an average height of 27 feet, around 1,200 feet up the east flank of Red Hill without obtaining the necessary permits from the ZBA, Planning Board and Building Inspector. After failing to seek permission they sought forgiveness, by asking the ZBA and Planning Board to approve the project after the fact.

The ZBA granted a variance and see next page

She said that she is seeking to make arrangements with a local butcher to provide a range of fresh, locally raised meats.

McNulty plans to remain open throughout the year with easy-to-

store produce like potatoes, onions and squash along with carrots, parsnips, beets and turnips, which can be grown under hay and dug in the winter. She said she may also have vegetables raised in greenhouses.

“It’s her business,” said McNulty’s husband Don, who is retired after a career as a financial executive with Catholic Medical Center in Manchester. “I just keep the books and manage the website,” he said. “She’s the boss.”

Man who killed his son & himself at Manchester facility on Sunday had made threats before MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The head of a New Hampshire YWCA where a father killed himself and his 9-year-old son during a supervised visit defended the center’s security measures Monday and said the man’s threats that preceded the shootings are all too common in the population it serves.

“In domestic violence, that’s standard operating procedure: He says, ‘I’m going to kill you and the kids,’” YWCA president Monica Zulauf said at a news conference. “That is the victim we work with all the time here.”

Muni Savyon, 54, shot to death his son, Joshua, and then himself Sunday while the YWCA was open for supervised visits and custody exchanges, authorities said. According to court documents, Savyon had been upset over custody arrangements with the boy’s mother and had told her he would kill either her or himself and their son if he didn’t get what he wanted.

Savyon had been subject to a hand-held metal detector scan for previous visits at the YWCA but was not before Sunday’s shooting, authorities said Monday. Zalauf wouldn’t comment on that or other details of the shooting but emphasized that the possibility of violence exists for all the families who use the center for supervised visits, or else they wouldn’t need to be supervised.

“I’d like to see 15 layers of security and safety, but people who are going to commit an act of violence ... they’re going to do it. You can do as much as you can, reasonably, but this man was determined,” she said.

When the YWCA has had the money in the past, it has hired police officers to be in the building to

provide security during visitations, Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin told WMUR-TV. But Zalauf said that was an oversimplification and noted that having a constant police presence would work against the center’s goal of providing a homelike atmosphere.

“At some point we have to shift this off ‘Did we wand this person?’ to, this man came in here and killed his son. We were doing what we could do to have him visit with his child in a safe, supportive environment, and he made that decision,” she said.

Born in Israel, Savyon was a naturalized citizen who lived in several Western states before coming to New England, where he worked as a software engineer. He and the boy’s mother, Becky Raines, were not married and split up years ago, her lawyer said Monday.

Law enforcement officials said their relationship had been contentious at times and Savyon had previously threatened to kill all three of them. The mother was granted a protective order against the father last year, attorney David Bailinson said.

“Joshua’s father had always been nearly impossible to co-parent with for her. Agreements between them were few and far between,” he said.

Bailinson said Raines and her family appreciate the outpouring of prayers and support since the shootings.

“They want people to know what a wonderful, caring, thoughtful and fun-loving little boy Joshua was and that everyone who got to know him will deeply miss the joy that he brought to their lives,” he said.

from preceding page referred the case to the Planning Board for a conditional use permit (CUP). The board was directed to apply “the de novo standard,” that is to approach the issue as if the tower had not been built. To grant the CUP, the board was required to find that the project met 11 criteria.

The minutes record that Peter Jensen, the acting chairman, “polled” the seven members of the board on the 11 criteria. Two of the 11 failed when the board split evenly — three-to-three — with Bartlett abstaining and Ryerson voting no. However, neither believed it was the best interest of the town to require the structure be dismantled. Ryerson changed her “no” to

“yes,” breaking the stalemate in the “poll,” and Bartlett offered a motion to grant the CUP, which carried fiveto-two.

Bartlett, the selectmen allege, failed to act by twice abstaining when the board was polled on the 11 criteria. The charge reads that “in failing to recuse yourself, which is to be done for a statutory conflict of interest or bias, and allowing an alternate to be seated to act in your stead you deprived the community of the full and faithful performance of your duties.” Moreover, he also stands accused of failing to apply the de novo standard as well as questioning the decision of the ZBA and making “disparagsee next page

Gov. Hassan urges Paralympic Committee to allow Exeter swimmer

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s governor is adding her voice to those disappointed by the exclusion of a disabled teenage swimmer from this week’s Paralympic World Swimming Championships in Montreal.

Gov. Maggie Hassan (HAS’-uhn) joins others including the state’s two U.S. senators in criticizing a decision by the International Paralympic Committee barring Exeter resident Victoria Arlen from the games because her disability isn’t considered permanent.

Arlen was paralyzed from the waist down due to illness seven years ago.

She resumed competitive swimming at the age of 16. At last year’s Paralympics in London she set a world record and won a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle and silver medals in three other races.

Hassan calls the last-minute ban on Arlen’s participation “unconscionable and patently unfair.”

The Germany-based International Paralympic Committee hasn’t responded to an email seeking comment.

HYPER from page 2 pulled down the line by magnetic attraction.

Each capsule would float on a cushion of air it creates — like an air hockey table in which the puck produces the air instead of the surface. To minimize friction, a powerful fan at the front would suck what air is in the tube to the rear.

“Short of figuring out real teleportation, which would of course be awesome (someone please do this), the only option for super fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment,” Musk wrote in his proposal, posted online.

Capsules could depart every 30 seconds, carrying 28 people, with a projected cost of about $20 each way, according to Musk’s plan, which was posted online at http://www.spacex.

com/hyperloop . The proposed route would follow Interstate 5 — a welltraveled path linking California’s north and south through the agriculture-rich Central Valley.

On a conference call Monday, Musk said that if all goes right, it could take seven to 10 years for the first passengers to make the journey between California’s two biggest metro areas. He put the price tag at around $6 billion — pointedly mentioning that’s about one-tenth the projected cost of a high-speed rail system that California has been planning to build.

Indeed, the Hyperloop was inspired by that rail system, which has a cost too high and speed too low to justify the project, Musk said.

In a written statement, California High-Speed Rail Authority Chairman Dan Richard suggested that Musk was oversimplifying the challenges.

Furthermore, the selectmen claim that throughout the hearing on Bear’s Nest Trail, LLC’s request and an earlier hearing on the application of Rock Pile Real Estate, LLC to operate a bakery on Governor Wentworth Highway Bartlett gave “cause to applicants to fear they will not receive a fair and reasonable review of their requests.”

Bartlett, the selectboard conclude, failed to meet his fiduciary responsibilities “by depriving applicants of a full and reasonable hearing,” “exhibiting bias,” and disparaging the zoning ordinance and those who administer it. Consequently, the selectmen claim “you have created substantial legal risk to the community.”

Meanwhile, Ryerson is charged with having changed her vote on the

Williamses’ application, “without foundation,” despite having concluded that they failed to demonstrate there was no “practicable alternative” to the project as completed. The selectboard notes that but for Ryerson changing her vote, the Planning Board could not have granted the CUP. The selectmen allege that, like Bartlett, Ryerson failed to meet her fiduciary responsibilities, since her action “created substantial legal risk tot eh community.”

Bartlett said yesterday that he has referred the matter to his attorney. Ryerson said that she has not retained an attorney, but has sought informal legal advice.

Tomorrow night the Planning Board will hold a special meeting at the request of Bartlett and Ryerson and a third member, Paul Punturieri, to discuss “the recent events that have led to the requested resignation of two members”

KWIATKOWSKI from page 2 The agreement includes details of an interview Kwiatkowski gave investigators in New Hampshire after his arrest, saying he knew he’d been diagnosed in 2010 but continued to “swap out” syringes of the painkiller fentanyl.

According to the agreement, Kwiatkowski said he was the only person involved in the diverting of drugs at Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire then added, “and I’m going to kill a lot of people out of this.”

Kwiatkowski also infected patients at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, the VA Medical Center in Baltimore and Hays Medical Center in Kansas, according to

the plea agreement signed by Kwiatkowski and his attorneys on July 18.

Under the terms of the deal, Kwiatkowski will plead guilty to seven counts each of tampering with a consumer product and obtaining controlled substances by fraud. A change of plea hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.

Kwiatkowski, who grew up in Michigan, worked as a “traveler” sent by staffing agencies to hospitals around the country, usually for temporary jobs. In announcing federal drug charges last year, U.S. Attorney John Kacavas called him a “serial infector.”

Kwiatkowski’s attorney did not immediately a phone message left at his office Monday night.

Beginning with the Civil War the series will explore four different wars, ending with the second Iraq War. The first discussion will be held at the Laconia Public Library on Tuesday, September 3 at 7:00 pm in Laconia Rotary Hall. The schedule is as follows:

The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien Discussion leader: Maren Tirabassi

December 3

Generation Kill by Evan Wright Discussion leader: Frumie Selchen Our first discussion will be The Red Badge of Courage.

First published in 1895, America’s greatest novel of the Civil War was written before 21-year-old Stephen Crane had “smelled even the powder of a sham battle.” While the novel takes place during a series of battles, The Red Badge of Courage is not a traditional Civil War narrative. Focusing on the complex internal struggle of its main character, rather than on the war itself, Crane’s novel often divides readers as to whether the story is intended to be either pro or antiwar. A masterpiece so unique that many believe modern American fiction began with Stephen Crane.

Books will be available for loan at the library. All discussions will take place on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. the Laconia Public Library in Laconia Rotary Hall.

Mon. - Thurs. 9am - 8pm • Fri. 9am - 6pm • Sat. 9am - 4pm For more information, call 524-4775.

FRISK from page 2 in some form, but recorded stops increased dramatically under the Bloomberg administration to an all-time high in 2011 of 684,330, mostly of black and Hispanic men.

The lawsuit was filed in 2004 by four men, all minorities, and became a class action case.

About half the people who are stopped are subject only to questioning. Others have their bags or backpacks searched, and sometimes police conduct full patdowns. Only 10 percent of all stops result in arrest, and a weapon is recovered a small fraction of the time.

Scheindlin noted she was not putting an end to the practice, which is constitutional, but was reforming the way the NYPD implemented its stops.

In her long ruling, she determined at least 200,000 stops were made without reasonable suspicion, the necessary legal benchmark, lower than the standard of probable cause needed to justify an arrest.

She said that rank-and-file officers were pressured by superiors to make stops — and that high-ranking police officials ignored mounting evidence that bad stops were being made.

“The city and its highest officials believe that blacks and Hispanics should be stopped at the same rate as their proportion of the local criminal suspect population,” she wrote. “But this reasoning is flawed because the stopped population is overwhelmingly innocent — not criminal.”

She also cited violations of the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

“Far too many people in New York City have been deprived of this basic freedom far too often,” she said.

“The NYPD’s practice of making stops that lack individualized reasonable suspicion has been so pervasive and persistent as to become not only a part of the NYPD’s standard operating procedure, but a fact of daily life in some New York City neighborhoods.”

Scheindlin did not give many specifics for how to correct such practices but instead directed the monitor to develop reforms to policies, training, supervision and discipline with input from the communities most affected.

She also ordered a pilot program in which officers test body-worn cameras in the one precinct per borough where most stops occurred. The idea came up inadvertently during testimony, but Scheindlin seized on it as a way to provide objective records of the encounters.

Scheindlin appointed the city’s former lead attorney Peter L. Zimroth, previously a chief assistant district attorney, as the monitor. He said he realized the issue was difficult.

“It’s very important to get it right. And to the extent I can help with that, I want to,” he said.

At a news conference, Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly blasted the ruling, saying the judge ignored historic crime lows and displayed a “disturbing disregard” for the “good intentions” of police officers who do not racially profile.

“There is just no question that stop, question, frisk has saved countless lives, and most of those lives saved have been black and Hispanic young men,” Bloomberg said.

Bloomberg said police have done exactly what the courts and constitution allow to keep the city safe.

The judge simply does not understand “how policing works,” he said, and the result could be a return to the days of crime and mayhem from the 1980s and 1990 — when murders hit an all-time high of 2,245.

“This is a dangerous decision made by a judge who I think does not understand how policing works and what is compliant with the U.S. Constitution as determined by the Supreme Court,” he said. “I worry for my kids, and I worry for your kids. I worry for you and I worry for me.

Crime can come back any time the criminals think they can get away with things. We just cannot let that happen.”

BULGER from page 2 Outside the courtroom, relatives of the victims hugged each other, the prosecutors and even defense attorneys.

Patricia Donahue wept, saying it was a relief to see Bulger convicted in the murder of her husband, Michael Donahue, who authorities say was an innocent victim who died in a hail of gunfire while giving a ride to an FBI informant marked for death by Bulger.

Thomas Donahue, who was 8 when his father was killed, said: “Thirty-one years of deceit, of cover-up of my father’s murder. Finally we have somebody guilty of it. Thirty-one years — that’s a long time.”

He said that when he heard the verdict, “I wanted to jump up. I was like, ‘Damn right.’”

“Today is a day that many in this city thought would never come,” said U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. “This day of reckoning has been a long time in coming.” She added: “We hope that we stand here today to mark the end of an era that was very ugly in Boston’s history.”

She said Bulger’s corrupting of law enforcement officials “allowed him to operate a violent organization in this town, and it also allowed him to slip away when honest law enforcement was closing in.”

Bulger attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said Bulger intends to appeal because the judge didn’t let him argue that he had been granted immunity for his crimes by a now-dead federal prosecutor.

But Carney said Bulger was pleased with the trial and its outcome, because “it was important to him that the government corruption be exposed, and important to him to see the deals the government was able to make with certain people.”

“Mr. Bulger knew as soon as he was arrested that he was going to die behind the walls of a prison or on a gurney and injected with chemicals that would kill him,” Carney said. “This trial has never been about Jim Bulger being set free.”

Bulger, the model for Jack Nicholson’s sinister crime boss in the 2006 Martin Scorsese movie “The Departed,” was seen for years as a Robin Hood figure who bought Thanksgiving turkeys for fellow residents of working-class South Boston and kept hard drugs out of the neighborhood. But that image was shattered when authorities started digging up bodies.

Prosecutors at the two-month trial portrayed Bulger as a cold-blooded, hands-on boss who killed anyone he saw as a threat, along with inno-

according to testimony, he would go off and take a nap while his underlings cleaned up.

Among other things, Bulger was accused of strangling two women with his bare hands, shooting two men in the head after chaining them to chairs and interrogating them for hours, and opening fire on two men as they left a South Boston restaurant.

Bulger skipped town in 1994 after being tipped off — by a retired FBI agent, John Connolly, it turned out — that he was about to be indicted.

He spent 16 years on the run and was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list before he was finally captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, Calif., where he had been living in a rent-controlled apartment near the beach with his longtime girlfriend, Catherine Greig. She was sentenced to eight years in prison for helping Bulger.

His disappearance proved a major embarrassment to the FBI when it came out at court hearings and trials that Bulger had been an informant from 1975 to 1990, feeding the bureau information on the rival New England Mafia and members of his own gang while he continued to kill and intimidate.

Those proceedings also revealed that Bulger and his gang paid off several FBI agents and state and Boston police officers, dispensing Christmas envelopes of cash and cases of fine wine to get information on search warrants, wiretaps and investigations and stay one step ahead of the law.

At his trial, Bulger’s lawyers tried to turn the tables on the government, detailing the corruption and accusing prosecutors of offering unconscionably generous deals to three former Bulger loyalists to testify against him.

The defense portrayed the three key witnesses — gangster Stephen The Rifleman” Flemmi, hit man John Martorano and Bulger protege Kevin Weeks — as pathological liars who pinned their own crimes on Bulger so they could get reduced sentences.

But overall, the defense barely contested many of the charges against Bulger. In fact, his lawyers conceded he ran a criminal enterprise that took in millions through drugs, gambling and loansharking.

His lawyers did strongly deny he killed women, something Bulger evidently regarded as a violation of his underworld code of honor. The jury ultimately found he had a role in the strangling of one woman — Flemmi’s stepdaughter — but it could not reach a decision on the other woman, Flemmi’s girlfriend.

Prosecutors said the women were killed because

Free workshop in Holderness on woodcock and ruffed grouse hunting HOLDERNESS — Get set for the fall grouse and woodcock season at a free workshop on Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock Hunting on Saturday, August 17, from 9 a.m. to noon at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Owl Brook Hunter Education Center in Holderness. Pre-registration is required. To sign up, call 603-536-3954.

The workshop covers the basic skills needed for the pursuit of these challenging birds. Participants also will learn about grouse behavior, hunting safety issues, hunting with or without dogs, gaining permission to hunt/ landowner relations, clothing choices,

shotgun and ammunition options, creature comforts for an enjoyable hunt and recipes for grouse.

The session will be led by grouse hunting enthusiasts/Hunter Education instructors Sean Williamson and Dan Keleher. In addition, Andrew Weik, the Northeast biologist for the Ruffed Grouse Society, will give a presentation on ruffed grouse and woodcock and their habitat needs.

Grouse hunting season in New Hampshire opens October 1 and runs through December 31, with a daily bag limit of four birds. Woodcock season opens October 1 and runs through November 14.

MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes Class of 2014 will be holding a craft fair on Saturday, August 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the main Inter-Lakes High School parking lot off of NH-25.

The high school gym will provide an indoor location if necessary.

Twenty-five crafters have registered, and they will be selling a variety of handmade goods. The senior class will also be selling food and drinks throughout the day. Shoppers will find an array of jewelry, quilts, greeting cards, birdhouses, totes, dolls, and more.

Senior Maeghan Warburton decided to initiate this unusual fundraiser for her class last December. Warburton hosted a festive pre-holiday fair

in the Inter-Lakes High School gym, providing a place of sale for 25 artisans. “Knowing that I was able to collect a group of artists together and provide them with an opportunity to make their love a source of income is something I am exceedingly proud of,” reflects Warburton.

Warburton emphasized the value of the craft-fair shopping experience, “The prices are going to be higher, but when a person buys from these artists they are paying for so much more. The item you receive from a craft fair is hand-made, one of a kind. The money spent goes right to the artist. By supporting local artists we are fostering a creative community.”

Smoke Signals

Nicotine is highly addictive and a very difficult dependency to break. Unfortunately, it has become clear that smoking is hazardous to your health. Do you understand the benefits of quitting? Within one hour of smoking your last cigarette, your body begins to improve. Blood pressure slowly returns to normal, you have a 50% reduction in risk for heart attack, lung cancer and stroke, and your circulation improves.

As more time goes by, (statistically) you will incur less medical costs; be less at risk for postsurgical complications; be less absent from work; and, have less chance of developing gum disease. Looking forward to a smoke-free life without halitosis (bad breath) might be a goal that you’re ready to set for yourself. If you have tried to quit before and it didn’t work out, don’t be ashamed to try again. Maybe a different approach would be more successful such as nicotine replacement (gum, lozenges, patches). Here are a few good resources available to you: 1) www.smokefree.gov is geared toward folks who want to stop smoking, 2) 877-44U-QUIT is a national helpline number with real people you can speak to, and 3) the website www.becomeanex.org is a free 3-step organized plan to assist you along the way to a life without cigarettes. Will it be one of the hardest things you ever do? Yes. Can you do it? YES! When you do quit, ask your dentist about the many good options for whitening your teeth. Good luck!

However, the numbers were back up again last month. We wanted to close out the summer with a really great show and having Robbie Printz and Carolyn Plummer as the main performers will do that.”

PSU student art on display at Cate Park in Wolfeboro The “Games People Play: Sculpture in the Park”, is the title of this year’s Arts on the Edge exhibition in Town Park, Wolfeboro. Twelve students who created the works were non-art majors enrolled in a General Education course at Plymouth State University. The course, “Public Art: The Politics of Visual Meaning”, was designed and taught by Professor Phil Lonergan, the head of the Sculpture program at PSU. The works that students made for the Wolfeboro show were constructed using a wire armature covered in burlap and plaster and then painted.

Students worked together to develop an appropriate theme for the town park , they thought about scale and visual impact, and they designed the pieces specifically for the site.

The sculpture display is one facet of a summer program, which will also feature a day of poetry with published and award winning poets, Gibson Fay-LeBlanc and Arielle Greenberg, August 19 at the Pinckney Boathouse on the Brewster Academy campus.

orchestra to be honored at concert PLYMOUTH — The New Hampshire Music Festival will honor trumpet player Keith Johnson, who has been with the festival for 50 years, on Thursday.

Donato Cabrera conducts the Festival Orchestra at the Silver Center at 8 p.m. in a program of the Berlioz Les nuits d’ete featuring the acclaimed Heather Johnson, mezzo soprano, followed by Beethoven’s triumphant Eroica Symphony No. 3.

The concert is titled “Heroic Summer Nights” because it is dedicated to two heroes of the Festival, Keith Johnson, celebrating 50 years of service, and the late Louise Canafax, beloved viola player who enriched the lives of concert-goers for over 30 years.

In the spring of 1964 Keith was a graduate student majoring in trumpet at the University of Illinois when one of his classmates asked him if he might be interested in a summer symphony job. Johnson sent an audition tape to the New Hampshire Music Festival and received a letter from Music Director Tom Nee telling him that he was hired for the summer. At

the time, Nee was a faculty member at Macalester College in St Paul and Associate Conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony. The following year Johnson was invited to return and has been a member of the orchestra ever since.

Johnson is the author of two highly regarded books, The Art of Trumpet Playing (Iowa State University Press) and Brass Performance and Pedagogy (Prentice-Hall), which have been translated and published in several languages.

Tickets for the August 15 concert in Plymouth range in price from $22-$69, and may be purchased at 603-5352787 or silver.plymouth.edu. Contact Brenda Conklin, General Manager, 603-238-9007, bconklin@nhmf.org.

The NH Music Festival musicians are professionals from orchestras all over the country from Maine to California, and are professors of music at schools from West Virginia to Idaho.

The Festival has been based at Plymouth State University for 40 summers of its 61-year history of music-making in the Lakes Region.

Professional actors to stage production of ‘Hanzel and Gretel’ at PSU’s Silver Arts Center PLYMOUTH — The Silver Center for the Arts at Plymouth State University hosts professional actors from the Papermill Theatre in Lincoln throughout the summer, presenting their repertoire of children’s stories adapted for the stage.

Performances are 2 p.m. each Thursday. All seats (including babes in arms) are $6 and the shows usually sell out early.

The final production for the season will be “Hansel and Gretel,” Aug. 15.

Hansel and Gretel are always getting into trouble. Will they have gone too far after meetings a witch with a peculiar house?

The North Country Center for

the Arts Children’s Theatre has been delighting audiences for more than 20 years, with original adaptations of fairy tales and folktales produced and created for children of all ages. Shows are approximately 40 minutes long and appeal to adults, and children three years and older. Characters greet the audience in the Silver Center lobby after each show.

Call (603) 535-ARTS (2787) or (800) 779-3869 for tickets, or shop online at http://silver.plymouth.edu. Convenience fees apply to online orders.

Summer box office hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m.–4 p.m. and one hour before performances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Financial matters, social activities and intellectual endeavors will be the main interests of the day. You may want to arrange for help with more mundane activities so you can focus.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because of the unusual environment you find yourself in this afternoon, you may feel uncharacteristically inhibited. You’ll warm to those who go out of their way to make you feel at ease.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your strong attachment to home and family won’t always be obvious today, because you’ll be busy expanding a different facet of your life. Just be sure to check in with those who matter most.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 13). You want to start a new adventure, but you still need permission, money, time and a good plan. You’ll fill in those blanks over the next six weeks. October brings a professional breakthrough. November is your chance to make extra-special memories with loved ones. Lifestyle improvements happen in January. Gemini and Aries people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 29, 11, 24 and 23.

ca pre

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some say to lead with your strengths. Others say you can capitalize on your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. You’ll find success with an action that integrates those two ideas.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your responsibilities will be many and your helpers few.

The demands of managing your life, home and relationships will be absorbing and incessant, but amidst them you’ll find moments of beauty, peace and self-reflection.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are adept at cracking codes, especially the kind presented by friends who feel too uncomfortable about their situation to speak of it in direct terms that everyone can understand.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whether or not you are married, this most complicated of human relationships will have a bearing on the events of your day. Communication style will be a big part of this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love’s energy, when blocked, has a way of transmuting into negativity. Whatever is getting in the way of you sharing the best part of yourself with others is worth looking into now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What you need to know won’t be readily apparent, but it only takes one good question to reveal it.

Ask questions that will get to the facts or lead to an insight about the feelings of others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll likely be around the kind of people who are only impressed with those who do not try to impress them. With this in mind, find your own pleasure and benefits in the situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be some confusion as to what is relevant to the situation and what constitutes a possible solution. You’ll be especially attuned to what’s going on and may be asked to act as an official witness or judge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Be careful of how much you tell people about your history. Handle the urgent and more interesting business first. As is the case with tightly written entertainment, the backstory doesn’t belong in the opening scene.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: It is back-to-school time for millions of young people. I am an instructor at a community college and would like to offer some suggestions to make the registration process smoother for students.

1. See the school counselor at least two weeks before registration. If you wait until registration week, the counselors will be extremely busy.

2. College is not free. Scholarships and grants must be applied for months in advance, not the day of registration. If you do not have the paperwork in your hand, be prepared to pay.

The payout plan offered by my school must be linked to a credit card or bank account. Check with the school ahead of time to be sure you have the required information for checks or credit cards. My school requires about seven pieces of information.

You will need separate checks for the bookstore and tuition.

3. Only the student should go to registration. Do not take parents, grandparents, siblings, children or friends. Small children have unplugged my computer and vomited in my office.

“Helicopter” parents have been some of our worst headaches.

They make nasty comments about the cost of tuition and books, over which I have no control, and it embarrasses their kids.

4. Read all of the signs with directions and instructions. I am the last step of the registration process, and I usually have to send 15 percent of the kids back through the long line because they missed a step.

5. Turn off your cellphone. I need your full attention to complete a multistep process to ensure that you have your schedule, your funds get processed and you have the proper receipts.

Go to the first day of class even if you have not paid. That is when instructors go over expectations and explain assignments. Some even lecture. I want my students to be successful.

Come see me in my office, even if only to say hello. I am here

to help. -- Lou Ann Everett, Trinity Valley Community College, Terrell, Texas Dear Lou Ann Everett: Thank you for your helpful advice for students, especially incoming freshmen. We hope they pay attention.

Dear Annie: My wife and daughter (age 33) don’t get along.

There is history between them from when our daughter was an adolescent. For the past few years, they have gotten along better, but I always sensed a dark cloud on the horizon.

We visited our daughter last week. Everything went well until the day before we left. My wife made some offhand comment, my daughter overreacted, and it went downhill from there. They are not talking to each other now.

My wife tends to be hypercritical, and my daughter doesn’t know how to deal with it. I try to play peacemaker, but I don’t like being in the middle, and neither of them listens to me. Any ideas? -- Caught in the Middle Dear Caught: If your wife and daughter truly wish to change this dysfunctional pattern, it likely will require professional counseling to figure out how to behave in a more productive way. You can suggest it, but otherwise, we recommend you stay out of the middle and maintain these relationships individually.

Dear Annie: “Open but Lost” had an open marriage, and you astutely asked whether her husband really wanted it.

My wife wanted an open marriage based on advice received from her support group. I agreed reluctantly. I painfully experienced having to hear phone calls from her suitors. The bottom line was that I experienced a total loss of trust and commitment, and it finally led to our divorce. Years later, my ex apologized to me for what she had done and asked for my forgiveness. I’ve been happily married to my second wife for 21 years. My ex is on her fourth marriage. -- Not the Thing To Do

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 13, 2013— Page 31

Jazz and blues on the bill this week at Pitman’s Freight Room LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room at 94 New Salem St. in downtown Laconia is featuring jazz and blues this week.

On Thursday Kid Jazz, featuring Kenny Wieland, will perform.

Kid Jazz is a five-piece swing band and they keep it all in the family.

Together with Dad Tom Lemieux on guitar, and mom Mary on vocals,, their four sons rip it up with familiar tunes from the 1930s and ‘40s. Michael, age 19, on clarinet, Jacob, age 11, on drums, and Adam, age 14, on bass.

The Lemieux family will be joined by special guest Kenny Wieland.

Kenny’s solo career spans nearly 30 years, performing throughout the midAtlantic states and eastern seaboard.

His music is jazz and swing oriented, covering old standards from the 30’s and 40’s, but is equally comfortable playing blues, folk rock, and contemporary songs by Jamie Cullum, Van Morrison, Ray Charles, Paul Simon, The Beatles, John Prine, and more.

A New Hampshire resident since

1997, Kenny is a popular performer throughout the greater Concord area working as a soloist and with other talented musicians.

Admission is $12, doors open at 7:30 p.m and Pitman’s is an air conditioned BYOB. On Friday at 8 p.m. Jeff Dearborn and the Contoocook Blues Society featuring Rosemary Casey will perform.

This is the blues, the way it’s meant to be done — gritty and soulful, Texas blues, Chicago blues, and Delta blues with a boogie back-beat that keeps you grooving all night, delivered by a front man who knows the meaning of hard work. Jeff Dearborn plays a mean harmonica — but he also is well versed in logging, tree removal, animal husbandry and farming.

Special guest Rosemary Casey will join the band and bring her saxophone, her high energy and her love of all things Blues.

Admission is $12 and doors open at 7:30 p.m.
