MOSCOW (AP) — The rainbow colors two Swedish athletes painted their fingernails in support of gays and lesbians sent a clear message and brought a swift rebuke from a Russian star, perhaps even a glimpse of what’s to come at the Sochi Olympics. Speaking at the world championships, pole vault gold medalist Yelena Isinbayeva condemned homosexuality and criticized the Swedes for their gesture critical of Russia’s new anti-gay legislation. The law, which bans gay “propaganda,” has drawn sharp criticism and led some Western activists to call for a boycott of the Winter Olympics in the Russian resort. Isinbayeva won her third world title Tuesday before a boisterous home crowd, and drew ISINBAYEVA page 8
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Weeping relatives in search of loved ones uncovered the faces of the bloodied, unclaimed dead in a Cairo mosque near the smoldering epicenter of support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi, as the death toll soared past 600 Thursday from Egypt’s deadliest day since the Arab Spring began. World condemnation widened for the bloody crackdown on Morsi’s mostly Islamist supporters, including an angry response from President Barack Obama, who canceled joint U.S.-Egyptian military maneuvers. Violence spread Thursday, with government buildings set afire near the pyramids, policemen gunned down and scores of Chris-
tian churches attacked. As turmoil engulfed the country, the Interior Ministry authorized the use of deadly force against protesters targeting police and state institutions. The Muslim Brotherhood, trying to regroup after the assault on their encampments and the arrest of many of their leaders, called for a mass rally on Friday in a challenge to the government’s declaration of a monthlong state of emergency and a dusk-to-dawn curfew. At least 638 people were confirmed killed and nearly 4,000 wounded in the violence sparked when riot police backed by armored vehicles, snipers and bulldozers smashed the two sit-ins in Cairo where Morsi’s supporters had been camped out
for six weeks to demand his reinstatement. It was the deadliest day by far since the 2011 popular uprising that overthrew autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak and plunged the country into more than two years of instability. Also on Thursday, The United Nations Security Council called on both the Egyptian government and the Muslim Brotherhood to exercise “maximum restraint” and end the violence spreading across the country. Council members called for national reconciliation. The Health Ministry said that 288 of those killed were in the largest protest camp in Cairo’s Nasr City district, while see EGYPT page 7

NYC bus drivers plead for NH commission starts gambling regulation work protection from assaults CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A commission that will recommend regulations for any future casinos in New Hampshire started its work Thursday with some disagreement over what it is supposed to be doing. The commission is required to submit draft legislation to lawmakers by Dec. 15. At its first meeting, chairman and state Rep. Richard Ames outlined what he believes the legislation should cover, including the number of slot machines and table games allowed and the price for each gambling license. But Attorney General Joseph Foster said he doesn’t think the commission should make recommendations about tax rates or license fees, because that would be straying beyond regulations into policy decisions. “I see those as two different bundles of issues,” he said. Gov. Maggie Hassan, who lobbied heavily for a casino
NEW YORK (AP) — Fare increases. Route cuts. General frustration over life. In New York City, there is no shortage of reasons why bus drivers are targeted for assault — an average of 88 attacks every year in the nation’s largest bus system. Jose Rondon’s 27-year career as a driver came to an abrupt end last summer at a stop in the Bronx, when a man punched him repeatedly without warning, breaking his nose and bloodying his face. “He managed to pretty much pummel me,” Rondon said. “No driver deserves that — no driver.” To protect its 12,000 drivers, the Metropolitan Transit Authority plans to upgrade buses with surveillance cameras and floor-to-ceiling partitions that separate operators from passengers. Officials say about a quarter of the 5,700-bus fleet has gotten the upgrades so far, which cost at least $6,000 per bus for partitions and $18,000 for the cameras, and the MTA hopes to double that number by 2015. But the bus operators’ union says that the MTA is dragging its heels, and that even its projected installations are not enough. “They have continued to view the assaults on bus operators as just the cost of doing business in New York City,” said John Samuelsen, president of the Transport Workers Union Local 100. “We share their frustration,” said Stephen Vidal, vice president of transportation, safety and training for the MTA bus department. “We’re actually trying to turn a fleet that had no barriers into a fleet with them. That’s a big challenge. ... I wish we were further along than we are, but I think we’re at a point now where we have a critical path.”

Police shoot, kill suspected heroin dealer in Weare CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s attorney general is investigating the officer-involved shooting death of a suspected heroin dealer during an incident in the town of Weare, west of Manchester. Attorney General Joseph Foster says the incident took place just after 10 p.m. Wednesday near Lanctot’s Plaza on Route 114. Foster says several Weare police officers, two con-
fidential informants and the target of the investigation — an adult male — were present when two Weare police officers fired on the suspect. The man drove off in his car, followed by two Weare police cruisers. When the vehicles came to a stop, it was discovered that the suspect had been shot. He died later at a Manchester hospital. His identification is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

before lawmakers killed a proposal this year, has said she hopes the commission will address their concerns about the state’s ability to regulate a casino. State Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, a Manchester Democrat, plans to file a new casino bill for legislators to take up next year. Supporters have argued that gambling is the best way to raise money for transportation, education and other needs without implementing a personal income or general sales tax. But opponents argue a casino isn’t worth the possibility of more gambling addicts and a tarnished image for a state that caters to families and tourists. State Rep. Lucy Weber, a member of the commission, said the group’s task is complicated, because it will be hard to write regulations for something that doesn’t exist, and lawmakers are concerned about approving a casino without detailed regulations in place. “Politically, this has always been a chicken-andegg problem,” she said. see GAMBLING page 5

Belmont man charged with meth distribution By Gail OBer
BELMONT — A Main Street man was ordered held on $1,000 cash bail for alleged possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute after being detained after a traffic stop early Thursday morning. Michael Lima, 43, is also charged with one count of resisting Michael Lima (Courtesy photo) arrest. After a scuffle with police, a black container from Lima’s pocket ended up on the ground where police allegedly found a scale, six baggies with 0.5 grams each of a substance they believed to be methamphetamine, and a glass pipe. According to police affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, Lima was a passenger in a truck operated by a friend and at 12:43 a.m. yesterday. A police officer patrolling on Shaker Road stopped a pickup for defective equipment. The driver of the truck stepped out and gave the officer permission to look at the inspection sticker. While looking, the officer noticed two spoons with brown matter on them on the driver’s seat and ordered the driver to put his hands on the truck, and Lima, who was the passenger, to put his hands on
the dashboard. The officer said he had to continually remind Lima to keep his hands on the dashboard. When a supervisor arrived, Lima was ordered to get out of the car while the driver was searched. No drugs were found on the driver but he told police the truck wasn’t his so he couldn’t consent to a search. When Lima gave his cell phone to the driver so he could call the owner of the truck, police noticed he kept putting his in his pockets and told him to stop. One officer said Lima would take his hands out but would immediately put them back in. Police noticed black object in his pocket and asked him what it was and Lima said it was his wallet. Police said it had an appearance of “Hogue-type” grip and feared it may have been a gun. (Hogue is a manufacturer of gun grips.) When police told him to remove the wallet from his pocket so they could make sure it wasn’t a weapon he did not do so. When one of the officers went to put Lima’s hands behind his back to handcuff him, Lima pulled away. A struggle ensued and police said Lima kept resisting and one of the officers became concerned that the item in Lima’s pocket was a weapon. Police said as Lima continued to struggle with the officer, the supervisor stunned him with a Taser so the officer could bring him to the ground. At press time, police said they had applied for a warrant to search the truck. Lima is no longer housed at the Belknap County House of Corrections.
COUNTY from page one Ruth Gulick from New Hampton, Ian Raymond of Sanbornton and Lisa DiMartino from Gilford, as well as Republicans Dennis Fields of Sanbornton and Herb Vadney from Meredith. Rep. Beth Arsenault (D-Laconia, Belmont) was not present. The vote came following a closed-door non-meeting the convention held Monday night with Attorney David Horan, who was hired by the convention in April to represent it in its ongoing dispute with county commissioners over budget line-item authority. Commissioners have maintained that they have authority to transfer money from accounts within departmental budgets as long as the amount expended doesn’t exceed the bottom line for each department as approved by the convention. The convention maintains that it has authority over each line item and that funds cannot be transferred, even within departments, without their permission. Worsman defended the attempt to take the commissioners to court, saying: ‘’At every meeting we have had with them they have shown and said they have no interest in abiding by the vote of the convention.’’ She said that she had no idea how the impasse over budget authority would be resolved now that the court action is, for the present, off the table. ‘’Perhaps they (the commissioners) will have an epiphany,’’ said Worsman. The dispute was triggered by changes made to budget line items by commissioners after the convention cut $600,000 from the $26.7 million budget the commissioners had proposed. Commissioners
have maintained that the transfers were made in order to meet contractual obligations for employee benefits, including health insurance, which had been cut in the delegation’s budget. Worsman has charged that since then over 90 accounts have been changed by the commission without any attempt to have the transfers approved by the convention’s Executive Committee, as was required in the motion approving the $26,184,616 budget in March. On Monday, meeting prior to the convention meeting, the Executive Committee turned down two of three budget transfer requests made by the commission, including one which would have increased the amount of funds available to pay for convention meetings from now until the end of the year from $3,500 to $8,000. Tilton, Executive Committee chairman, said that he voted against taking action in court at the present time but said that doesn’t rule out revisiting that decision in the future. ‘’I totally agree that those were inappropriate expenditures and that the commission violated the law. But I really don’t want to go to court and incur legal fees. I think we should give it 60 days to see if we can get some resolution,’’ said Tilton. He noted that two current members of the commission, Chairman John Thomas (R-Belmont) and Steve Nedeau (R-Meredith) have served as County Convention chairmen in the past and that both served on the Executive Committee and required approval for the transfer of sums as small as $12 which were sought by Belknap County Commissioners. see next page

from preceding page ‘’There’s a new budget cycle coming up in December. Unless the commission comes to terms with us it’s going to be very difficult for them to come before us and ask for money in line items and then spend it elsewhere,’’ said Tilton. Vadney, who is a member of the executive committee, said that he voted not to going to court at this time because he thinks some kind of compromise agreement can be reached with the commission and there is still plenty of time before the next budget cycle begins. ‘’There certainly has to be some recognition by the commissioners that the county convention oversees that the budget process could become even more messy than it has been this year unless some understanding is reached within the next few months,’’ said Vadney. Huot said that he didn’t like the non-meeting aspect of Monday’s proceedings, saying that, while the procedure is legal, it defeats the purpose of the right-to-know law that the public’s business should be conducted in open sessions. He said that those supporting court action don’t seem to realize that they can’t get a quick opinion on what procedures should be followed with respect to the budget process. ‘’When you go to court you have got to consider what you can ask the court to do in terms of relief. State laws aren’t clear on county government and are sometimes contradictory. It’s like county government is more or less an after thought and it was left to the individual counties. County conventions have never been involved in day-today running of county government, but instead have general oversight of the budget,’’ said Huot. He said that any Superior Court decision can only be guided by state statutes, which could mean lengthy litigation, not a quick ruling, and pointed out that there would be no guidance from the Superior Court on the issues involved as only the state Supreme Court can issue advisory opinions. Huot said the best solution would be to work out the differences through the political process and that ultimately legislation which would clearly delineate the responsibilities and duties of the convention and the commissioners should be passed.
Goodhue appointed ‘Mayor of Gilford Village’ Selectmen presented long-time Conservation Commission Chairman John Goodhue with the key to Gilford, a special chair, and named him “Mayor of Gilford Village.” Goodhue, seated, is surrounded by members of the Board of Selectmen and the Conservation Commission at a recent selectmen’s meeting. He served for 25 years as chair and has been active in the town of Gilford since he was 16 years old — first as a volunteer firefighter and later as a member of Recreation Committee and the Chair of the Old Home Day Committee. Goodhue retired in January. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)
GAMBLING from page 3 Paul Kelley, director of the state Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission, walked the committee through a history of legalized gambling in New Hampshire and the challenges his office faces in regulating legal charitable gambling and investigating illegal operations. He described video poker machines that are ostensibly for “entertainment only” but actually deliver payouts and other
machines that skirt the law, saying “the money out there is tremendous.” The bill rejected by the Legislature in May would have allowed the construction of one casino with 5,000 slot machines and 150 table games. The commission, which is allowed to spend up to $250,000, plans to hire two consultants, one who is an expert in gambling regulation and one who is an expert in New Hampshire law.

Putin trying to re-establish moral compass for Russia The culture war has gone global. And the divisions are not only between, but within nations. “Suddenly, homosexuality is against the law,” wailed Jay Leno. “I mean, this seems like Germany. Let’s round up the Jews. Let’s round up the gays. ... I mean, it starts like that.” Leno was speaking of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Obama eagerly agreed: “I have no patience for countries that treat gays or lesbians ... in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them. ... Nobody is more offended than me by some of the antigay and lesbian legislation that you’ve been seeing in Russia.” Leno and Obama were referring to a new Russian law prohibiting “homosexual propaganda.” Moscow is also warning foreigners, including visitors to the winter Olympics in Sochi, that propagandizing for gay rights can get them two weeks in detention. No kiss-ins allowed. “Medieval,” howled The Washington Post. “Mr. Putin’s war” on gays and lesbians is “part and parcel of his lapse into xenophobia, religious chauvinism and general intolerance.” Monday’s New York Times has a front-page story — “Gays in Russia Find No Haven, Despite Support From the West” — featuring photos of roughed-up protesters. Our moral and cultural elites have put Putin on notice: Get in step with us on homosexual rights — or we may just boycott your Sochi games. What this reveals is the distance America has traveled, morally and culturally, in a few short years, and our amnesia about who we Americans once were, and what it is we once believed. Only yesterday, homosexual sodomy, which Thomas Jefferson said should be treated like rape, was outlawed in many states and same-sex marriage was regarded as an absurdity. Was that America we grew up in really like Nazi Germany? In the Catholic schools this writer attended, pornography — let alone homosexual propaganda — would get one expelled. Was this really just like Kristallnacht? As Father Regis Scanlon writes in Crisis Magazine, in 2005, Pope Benedict XVI reiterated Catholic doctrine that homosexuality is a “strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil,” an “objective disorder.” That homosexual acts are unnatural and immoral remains Catholic teaching. Thus, if we seek to build a Good Society by traditional Catholic and Christian standards, why should
not homosexual propaganda be treated the same as racist or antiSemitic propaganda? We can no longer even agree on what is good and evil. When Pope Francis said, “Who am I to judge?” he was saying that a sexual orientation is something over which an individual may have no control, dating to birth or infancy. Hence homosexuals ought not to be condemned, but welcomed into the community. As for homosexual propaganda and acts, that is another matter. What, one wonders, is the view of those Evangelical Christians who sustain the Republican Party on homosexual propaganda in the public square? Do they agree with the Post? Or do they agree with Putin? When the Socialist regime of Francois Hollande enacted a law endorsing same-sex marriage, a million Frenchmen marched in protest in Paris. Is America on Hollande’s side, or the side of the protesters? When the ultra-Orthodox haredim of Jerusalem denounce the annual gay pride parade in the Holy City, whose side is America on? The Post weeps for the “young women of the persecuted rock band Pussy Riot,” who engaged in half-naked obscene acts on the high altar of Moscow’s most sacred cathedral. Had these women crayoned swastikas on the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., would the Post have been so sympathetic? Putin suggested the ladies try the same stunt in Mecca. In our late Mideast wars, America has fought for secularist democracy. Yet Christians have suffered horribly, with the murder of priests, the burning of churches, terrorism and wholesale flight. According to LifeSiteNews, Putin, meeting with Orthodox Christian leaders, urged the world to come together to stop these violent persecutions. “Especially in the Middle East and North Africa ... the rights of religious minorities are infringed, especially Christians and Orthodox Christians. ... This pressing problem should be a subject of close attention for the entire international community.” Urging America and the West to join with Russia in saving Syria’s Christians, Orthodox Patriarch Kirill said their expulsion from Syria would be a “catastrophe” for civilization. Has Obama ever spoken out so forcefully for international action to save Christians? Has The New York Times ever exhibited a fraction of the concern for persesee next page
LETTERS Requirement of 5-foot fence along WOW Trail defies common sense To The Daily Sun, I am writing in response to two recent letters to The Daily Sun concerning the WOW Trail and the Winnipesaukee River Trail, the first one by Gretchen Gandini, newly appointed Exceutive Director of the WOW Trail and the second by Peter Davis of Laconia. As a board member of the Winnipesaukee River Trail Association, I was delighted to see these letters which bring to the attention to the public of the benefits of the trails not only to the communities where they are located but to Central New Hampshire. Not only are there beautiful vistas along the trails but the trails can be very useful tool in the development of the region. Ms. Gandini wrote so elegantly about how much the WOW trail can contribute from an economic prospective by making reference to a recent Belknap Economic Development Council Study in spending because of the number of using coming in to use the trail. In addition to the health benefits as well, the trails are a great place for both individuals and family to walk, run or bike. One other thing that is often overlooked is that some people use the trail as a mode of transportation. I think that this supports Mr. Davis’s comments the need to complete the
trails in timely fashion for a variety of reasons and one of the major concerns is of rising costs to build the trails. In Mr. Peter Davis letter, one of the things that he mentions is the required five foot chain linked fence that is required on the WOW and the Tilton Section of the Winnipesaukee River Trail, not only is it very costly but an eyesore and prevent larger animals from getting to and from the tracks to the river. This requirement just adds to the cost of building and maintaining the trails and at times at least of the Winnipesaukee River Trail and I would imagine the WOW Trail as well. There are many other states where there are very active and high speed rail and there aren’t any fences between the rail and the trail so leads to question why this is necessary in the State of New Hampshire which has one of the smallest active railroad systems in the country. It simply defies common sense to have such a requirement in this state. So why not get there and enjoy the benefits of the trails and if you can support some of the events that occur throughout the year, lots of fun for all and a great cause! Charles L. North Franklin
Waterski Boat Classic was a success, look for us next summer To The Daily Sun, I would like to thank Winnisquam Marine, Mike Testa State Farm Insurance and the Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Museum for helping to make the second annual Lakes Region Waterski Boat Classic a success. It was a beautiful day and many people turned out to enjoy the free boat rides and displays of boating memorabilia.
Special thanks to Lynda Laflamme of the Historical Museum at Funspot for help in researching local boating history and loan of race related memorabilia. Thanks to the boat owners, the Magnums in particular for their generosity in sharing their rides. Look for us again same time next summer. Tom Scribner Gilford
Only the court system can clarify the county budget discussion To The Daily Sun, Lewis Carroll to one side, it does seem strange that Rep. Huot puts such little faith in New Hampshire’s court system, most especially since the learned gentleman is a retired judge. Could his reluctance stem from the confidence by the convention’s attorney that the case for line item authority is pellucid? Could it be that this representative is not in fact
of Laconia but instead is a shill for the favored few? Only Rep. Huot knows his motivation but there should be a concern on the part of everyone involved that it is good public policy to have the statutes under discussion be clarified; the only place that can be done is in our court system.

LETTERS Congress members & staff aren’t exempt under Affordable Care Act To The Daily Sun, Over the past week, constituents have contacted my offices after hearing a false rumor: that Congress has exempted itself from the new healthcare law. Let me set the record straight: Members of Congress and our staffs are not exempted under the Affordable Care Act. In fact, due to an amendment that was introduced by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley and became part of the eventual law, members and congressional staff are the ONLY Americans who will be removed from their current employer-provided coverage next year and asked to find coverage in the new Marketplaces. All other Americans who have employer-sponsored insurance are encouraged and expected to keep their coverage. The recent rumor was sparked last week in response to an announcement by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), an independent federal agency that is responsible for all federal employees’ health plans. OPM confirmed that it will continue to
make employer contributions towards Congressional employees’ coverage, as it did before, although members and staffers will now be choosing plans from their state Marketplaces instead of from the Federal Employees Health Benefits program. As NPR pointed out, “Just to be clear, Members of Congress and their staff aren’t getting special treatment when it comes to their health insurance. They’re just keeping the employer contribution every other federal employee gets.” Back in 2009, Congress designed the Affordable Care Act to increase health care affordability and access. It has made progress on both counts, but I know there are still some difficulties to work out. As key provisions take effect over the next year, I will keep working to make sure the law improves affordability and access for families and small businesses in New Hampshire.

Support GOP candidates who keep their word after the election To The Daily Sun, If I were a wealthy person I would send money to any primary challenger to Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham. The same should be happening for the 2016 GOP Primary with Kelly Ayotte. Of course the goal is to have an honest republican who keeps their word after the campaign. It is always fun to watch the elite republican establishment scurry to protect one of their own. The reason for the small “r” in republican is to show what many of us think of today’s GOP.
Both McConnell and Graham are worried because they know they are of no help to the America loving Joe until election time, and then, let’s hope it is too late! With the exception of Dennis Fields, I support the hard work/decisions of the GOP members of the County Delegation. Please don’t let us down. Support those who understand that without a government job, nothing is for certain. Niel Young Laconia

from preceding page cuted Christians it daily exhibits for harassed homosexuals? What did the Post mean by “religious chauvinism”? Putin is trying to re-establish the Orthodox Church as the moral compass of the nation it had been for 1,000 years before Russia fell captive to the atheistic and pagan ideology
of Marxism. “The adoption of Christianity,” declared Putin, “became a turning point in the fate of our fatherland, made it an inseparable part of the Christian civilization and helped turn it into one of the largest world powers.” Anyone ever heard anything like that from the Post, the Times or Barack Hussein Obama?
Laconia Police captain to spend 11 weeks at FBI National Academy LACONIA – Police Capt. Matt Canfield will attend the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va., for an 11-week training session this fall. Police Commissioners voted unanimously yesterday to send him after learning the FBI pays for the training and partially reimburses the department for transportation expenses. Canfield said the FBI offers intensive training for leadership science and development to management-level police throughout the county. He said his application was submitted a while ago and he was recently told he had been accepted for this upcoming class. Canfield will join a select number of area police officers who have attended the academy including, retired Laconia Police Chiefs Mike Moyer and Bill Baker, Tilton Police Chief Bob Corm-
ier, Gilford Police Chief Kevin Keenan and Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin. Wiggin, who attended a number of years ago, said FBI National Academy is like going to military boot camp plus earning a master’s degree in criminal justice and leadership all in a few short weeks. In other business, commissioners voted unanimously to promote Master Patrol Officer Robert Cameron to the rank of sergeant and to move Sgt. Thomas Swett to the detective bureau where he will be the ranking detective. Capt. Bill Clary said the shift will be in the beginning of the year after two new officers are slated to graduate from the N.H. Police Standards and Training academy. He said there are five openings yet to be filled and five conditional offers have been made.
EGYPT from page 2 90 others were slain in a smaller encampment at al-Nahda Square, near Cairo University. Others died in clashes that broke out between Morsi’s supporters and security forces or anti-Morsi protesters elsewhere in the Egyptian capital and other cities. Mohammed Fathallah, the ministry spokesman, said earlier that the blood-soaked bodies lined up in the El Iman mosque in Nasr City were not included in the official death toll. It was not immediately clear if the new figures included the ones at the mosque. Inside the mosque-turned-morgue, the names of the dead were scribbled on white sheets covering the bodies, some of them charred, and a list with 265 names was plastered on the wall. Heat made the stench from the corpses almost unbearable as the ice brought in to chill the bodies melted and household fans offered little relief. Weeping relatives filled the mosque courtyard and spilled into the streets. In a corner, a woman cradled the head of a slain man in her lap, fanning it with a paper fan. Nearby, an anguished man shouted, “God take revenge on you elSissi!” a reference to the powerful mili-
tary chief, Gen. Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi. Slumped over the body of his brother, Ihab el-Sayyed said the 24-year-old was getting ready for his wedding next week. “Last time I heard his voice was an hour or two before I heard of his death,” he said, choking back tears. Over the mosque speakers, announcements urged people to leave because their body heat was making the humid conditions worse inside the mosque, where posters of Morsi lay piled up in a corner. Many people complained that authorities were preventing them from obtaining permits to bury their dead, although the Muslim Brotherhood announced that several funerals had been held Thursday. Fathallah denied that permits were being withheld. “Bodies are getting decomposed. We only want to bury them. This is unfair,” said Hamdan Abdullah, who had traveled from the city of Fayoum to retrieve the body of his niece. Omar Houzien, a volunteer helping families search for their loved ones, said the bodies were carried to the mosque from a medical center at the protest camp in the final hours of Wednesday’s police sweep because of fears they would be burned.

Meredith property values drop by 6.25% since ‘09 Prowling Pa. ninja says By Michael Kitch
MEREDITH — The toll taken on property values by the Great Recession is reflected in the update recently completed by the Assessing Department, which reports that between April 1, 2009, and April 1, 2013, the aggregate taxable value has dropped 6.25-percent, decreasing from $1,858,056,791 to $1,741,940,934. Assessor Jim Commerford said that the analysis was based on 270 sales between April 2010 and April 1, 2013. Although the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration will not calculate the ratio of assessed values to market values until February, he estimated it would be slight less than 100-percent, noting that the ration was 104-percent in 2010, 105.7-in 2011 and 106 in 2012. Since 2009, the value of mobile homes fell 30 per-
cent, the steepest drop of the seven types of property. Vacant land lost 17 percent of its value, which Commerford suggested reflected the relatively plentiful inventory on hand when the recession struck and development stalled in 2009. The value of single family homes decreased by 9 percent, multifamily buildings by 5.4 percent, condominiums by 5 percent, waterfront residences by 4.6 percent and commercial and industrial properties by 3.2 percent. Commerford said that that among waterfront homes those valued at $1 million or less lost the most value while those worth $2 million or more held their value. The value of properties on Lake Winnipesaukee declined by 5.3 percent, while island properties on the lake lost 3.5 percent of their value. the value of properties on Lake Pemigewasset dropped 12 percent, Lake Wicwas by 4.7 percent, Lake Waukewan 2 percent and Lake Winnisquam 1.8 percent.
SOUTHWORTH from page one the building will open directly into each of the six units. Chris Duprey, project executive for Southworth Development, anticipated the units would be brought to market in 2014 and priced “beginning in the low $400,000s,” noting that the price with vary with the choice of optional features. In 2010, Southworth began building the Town Homes, 19 two-bedroom town houses on three levels with garages, divided among five buildings along the shoreline. Duprey said that 11 of the have been sold or are under contract. At the same time, the Planning Board approved plans for three mid-rise buildings on the other side of Scenic Road, known as the Lodges at Meredith Bay. Like the North Lodges each of these buildings would house 24 condominium units on four-stories. Construction of the Lodges, which requires extensive site work, has not begun. Meanwhile, Duprey expects the pace of sales at
Meredith Bay, the 129-lot gated community atop Brickyard Mountain, to quicken. He said that 32 of the 129 lots have been sold, most of them since Southworth Development acquired a significant stake in the project in 2007. He said that prospective buyers are seeking to purchase homes rather than lots and there are currently two model homes at the site. Duprey stressed that with the construction of the North Lodges Southworth Development will diversify its inventory to include single-family homes and house lots at Meredith Bay, townhouses on three levels at the Town Homes and condominiums on one level at the North Lodges. He said with the completion of the three remaining mid-rise buildings, which have not been scheduled for construction, development the firm’s shorefront properties would be virtually complete, leaving space only for a few single-family homes or duplexes.
ISIBAYEVA from page 2 even louder cheers Thursday when she received her gold medal. But before accepting it, the woman who will serve as “mayor” of one of the Sochi Olympic villages spoke in favor of the anti-gay stance. “If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people,” Isinbayeva, a two-time Olympic champion, said in English. “We just live with boys with woman, woman with boys. “Everything must be fine. It comes from history. We never had any problems, these problems in Russia, and we don’t want to have any in the future.” Swedish high jumper Emma Green Tregaro, who won a bronze medal at the 2005 worlds, and sprinter Mao Hjelmer sported rainbow colors on their fingernails for events at Luzhniki Stadium, which also hosted the 1980 Moscow Olympics. “The first thing that happened when I came to Moscow and pulled my curtains aside was that I saw the rainbow and that felt a little ironic,” Green Tregaro said in a video posted on the website of the Swedish newspaper Expressen. “Then I had a suggestion from a friend on Instagram that maybe I could paint my nails in the colors of the rainbow and that felt like a simple, small thing that maybe could trigger some thoughts.” Isinbayeva said it was wrong for the Swedes to make such a statement while competing in Russia. “It’s unrespectful to our country. It’s unrespectful to our citizens because we are Russians. Maybe we are different from European people and other people from different lands,” Isinbayeva told reporters. “We have our home and everyone has to respect (it). When we arrive to different countries, we try to follow their rules.” Russia’s new law does not explicitly ban participation in gay pride parades or promotion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality online, but anyone wearing a rainbow flag on the street or writing about gay relationships on Facebook, for instance, could be accused of propagandizing. The IOC and FIFA have asked the Russian gov-
ernment for more clarification. It remains unclear if the new law will be enforced during the Sochi Olympics or World Cup. The IAAF, the sport’s governing body, said the opinions of all athletes should be respected. “The IAAF constitution underlines our commitment to principle of nondiscrimination in terms of religious, political or sexual orientation,” IAAF spokesman Nick Davies told The Associated Press. “Allied to this is our belief in free expression as a basic human right, which means we must respect the opinions of both Green Tregaro and Isinbayeva.” The International Olympic Committee declined to comment. “You will understand that at this stage we cannot comment on reported opinions/comments,” IOC spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau said. American middle-distance runner Nick Symmonds was shocked by Isinbayeva’s comments. Symmonds won a silver medal in the 800 meters at about the same time that Isinbayeva won her pole vault title. “Oh, my god. I can’t believe she said that. It’s bad,” Symmonds told the AP. “For Yelena to come out and say we are normal, standard Russian citizens — I’m paraphrasing here — and we don’t stand for that. “I want to say to Yelena, ‘You understand a very large portion of your citizens here are gay and lesbian people. They are standard people, too. They were created this way. For you to tell them that they’re not normal and standard, that’s what we’re taking an issue with.’ That’s why we have to continue to demonstrate and to speak out against the ignorance that she’s showing.” Symmonds said he dedicated his silver medal to his gay and lesbian friends, as he said he would in a blog entry for “Runner’s World” before the championships began. “While I was here, I wanted to focus on athletics. I wanted to win a medal. That was my job,” Symmonds said. “Now that I’m done doing that job, if there’s something I can do, if this gives me a platform to voice my opinion and speak out about the atrocities that I’ve seen here, that’s what I’d like to do.”

he wanted to help police JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Everybody agrees that a 19-year-old Pennsylvania man dressed up as a ninja and lurked near homes, but they disagree whether that’s a good idea — or legal. Todd Kapcsos, of Johnstown, was in court Wednesday to waive his right to a preliminary hearing on charges of loitering, prowling at night and disorderly conduct. Police said Kapcsos frightened some elderly residents who saw him sneaking around while carrying a black baseball bat and wearing a hooded sweatshirt, another long shirt, a mask and a pair of gloves — all of them black. He contends he was just trying to help police catch bad guys. “I dressed up in all black, snuck around, went through bushes,” Kapcsos told WJAC-TV (http:// bit.ly/1daaYto). He claimed to be practicing “ninja moves” including rolling into a ball so he’d appear to be a rock hidden in the shadows. “There’s not enough police officers,” he said. “The community should do something rather than sit back. But one neighbor, Chris Trevino, told the TV station, “It looked more like he was trying to break into homes, not like he was gonna be a ninja and save the world.” That night, July 15, Trevino saw Kapcsos “running like a ninja, not like a normal person jogging. He was going back and forth creeping.” So she called the police. “The ninja ran across the alley and right into the arms of a police officer,” Trevino said. Kapcsos was lurking in the Moxham section of Johnstown, about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh. Several high-profile crimes have occurred in the neighborhood in recent months, including three of the city’s five homicides. The last one occurred Aug. 6 — a stabbing at a car wash — about three weeks after Kapcsos was arrested. SETTLEMENTS from page 2 ian negotiations was largely due to a dispute over settlements. Abbas insisted on a settlement freeze as a condition for talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the demand, arguing that all issues should be raised in negotiations with the Palestinians. Under U.S. pressure, Abbas eventually agreed to return to talks without a settlement freeze, though Abbas aides have said the Obama administration assured them it would try to restrain Israeli construction. Amid expectations of a slowdown, Israel’s recent announcements about new settlement plans prompted particular anger among Palestinian negotiators. Israeli officials argued that much of the new construction is planned in areas Israel expects to keep in any peace deal. The current round of negotiations is the third attempt since 2000 to set up a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Negotiators are to draw borders, including one running through Jerusalem, agree on security arrangements and decide on the fate of millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants. The U.S. hopes Israelis and Palestinians can reach a deal within nine months, though expectations on all sides are low. Abbas said all key issues were addressed in Wednesday’s round, adding that “we can’t say that we have achieved or not achieved progress because we are still at the beginning.” from preceding page puncture, Viking Tire & Alignment, Chequer’s Villa, Frog Rock Tavern, EM Heath Hardware, and Sean Kennedy-Snap On.

Navigator grants awarded to 2 N.H. organizations CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and the Bi-State Primary Care Association were awarded federal navigator grants Thursday to help people sign up for insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law. The organizations are among 105 across the country that will receive a total of $67 million. Bi-State Primary Care, which represents a dozen community health centers, will get $434,839, while Planned Parenthood will get $145,161. Navigators will be trained to provide information to consumers about health insurance, the new online insurance marketplaces and public programs such as Medicaid. The new markets, or exchanges, will offer individuals a choice of private health plans resembling what workers at large companies already get. The government will help many middle-class households pay their premiums, while low-income people will be referred to safety-net programs for which they might qualify. Enrollment starts Oct. 1 with coverage taking effect Jan. 1. After that, virtually everyone in the country will be required by law to have health insurance or face fines. New Hampshire opted not to run its own online markets, but Gov. Maggie Hassan’s administration has tried to have the state partner with the federal government to manage health plans and provide consumer assistance. Republicans have tried to block the second partnership, leaving a $5 million grant intended for New Hampshire-specific education and outreach in limbo. After Republicans prevented the state Insurance Department from accepting the money, a quasigovernmental group that runs the state’s high risk insurance pool decided to apply for the funding instead. That application remains pending.
Lemonade and cookies for a friend in Gilford
Friends of John Bradley Thompson sell lemonade and cookies in front of Ethan and Eric Ellingson’s house yesterday on Ridgewood Avenue in Gilford. John Bradley, Ethan’s friend from kindergarten, was recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Ethan, second from the left in a white shirt, wanted to raise some money for his friend, and his brother Eric, in the yellow shirt on the right, pitched in to help him.

Red Sox drop 2-1 decision to Jays TORONTO (AP) — Pinch hitter Mark DeRosa hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, Mark Buehrle pitched seven innings to win his fourth straight decision and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 2-1 on Thursday night. Buehrle (9-7) came in 0-4 with a 4.97 ERA in his previous eight starts against the Red Sox, a team he hadn’t beaten since Sept. 7, 2009, with the White Sox. The left-hander allowed one run and 10 hits, walked two and struck out four. The Blue Jays took two of three from the AL East-leading Red Sox, who went 4-6 on a three-city road trip that also included stops in Houston and Kansas City. Boston has lost five of seven overall, dropping consecutive series for the first time since losing three straight against Texas, Minnesota and Toronto from May 3-12. The Red Sox won’t get much time to enjoy being home. After a threegame series with the Yankees that begins Friday, they hit the road again for three at San Francisco and three against the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. Darren Oliver worked the eighth and Casey Janssen finished for his 22nd save in 24 chances. Boston’s Dustin Pedroia hit a twoout single in the first and went to second when David Ortiz walked, but was thrown out at the plate by leftfielder Kevin Pillar trying to score on a Jonny Gomes’ single. It was the first assist of Pillar’s career. With the Blue Jays using a defensive shift, Pedroia was able to go from first to third when Ortiz grounded out in the third. Toronto escaped when Gomes fouled out and Stephen Drew
struck out. After stranding six runners through the first three innings, Boston broke through with a run off Buehrle in the fourth. Daniel Nava hit a one out double, went to third on a checkswing single by Will Middlebrooks and scored on Jacoby Ellsbury’s RBI grounder. The Blue Jays might have been able to turn a double play, but second baseman Munenori Kawasaki threw high to shortstop Jose Reyes covering second, preventing a throw to first. Drew and Ryan Lavarnway both singled to begin the sixth, but Buehrle fanned Nava and Middlebrooks before getting Ellsbury to ground out. Red Sox starter Jake Peavy (9-5) came in 2-0 with a 2.15 ERA in his past four starts against Toronto and was untroubled through the first six innings, allowing just a pair of two-out hits. That changed in the seventh, when Jose Bautista singled off the glove of third baseman Middlebrooks, took second on Edwin Encarnacion’s single and scored on a base hit by Lawrie, with Encarnacion advancing to third. Bautista’s ball was initially ruled an error but changed to a base hit after review. Craig Breslow came on to face DeRosa, who put the Blue Jays in front with a sacrifice fly. Making his third start with Boston since coming over in a July 30 trade with the Chicago White Sox, Peavy allowed two runs and five hits in sixplus innings. He walked none and struck out four. Boston 1B Mike Napoli, who snapped a 0-for-16 slump with a tying two-run homer in the ninth inning Wednesday, got the day off.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady looks just fine. His fans and teammates are relieved. The key to the success of the New England Patriots participated fully in the team’s walkthrough Thursday. He jogged with other players at the start. He dropped back normally to throw passes. And he didn’t limp. An alarming situation — he had left Wednesday’s practice with an apparent left knee injury — was just a false alarm.
“I’m good,” was all Brady told waiting media members as he walked off the practice field Thursday after removing the black brace he wore during the workout. “You can all go home.” Then, after signing some autographs and posing for pictures, the star quarterback walked back into Gillette Stadium where he may or may not play in Friday night’s exhibition game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

SWINDLE from page 2 convicted in 2010 of securities fraud and conspiracy. He and the company’s former chief operating officer were accused of falsely inflating the value of the inventory of the company’s top product, the Interceptor vest, to help meet profit margin projections. U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert said Thursday that Brooks displayed a total lack of remorse — “not a glimmer, not a whisper, not a moment of regret.” “He attempted to portray himself as a great patriot,” she said, attracting investors who thought they were doing something to protect troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Last week, she ordered Brooks to forfeit nearly $60 million in proceeds from the insider trading

scheme. He also must pay restitution; an amount will be determined within 90 days. Sandra Hatfield, the former chief operating officer, was convicted of related charges but acquitted of mail and wire fraud at the same trial. She has yet to be sentenced. There were no allegations that the company cheated the government or that there was anything wrong with the vests or other DHB products. The Interceptor vest, designed to withstand rifle fire and shrapnel, was made for the Marine Corps and other branches of the military. The company saw its fortunes soar after the Sept. 11 attacks and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Its stock skyrocketed $2 a share in early 2003 to nearly $20 a share in late 2004, something prosecutors said was due to the scheme. When the pair sold several million DHB shares at that time, Brooks made more than $185 million and Hatfield more than $5 million, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said Brooks bought a $100,000 diamond-encrusted American flag belt buckle and threw lavish parties for his children that featured big-name entertainers. He resigned from DHB in July 2006, about the same time the company relocated its headquarters from Westbury, N.Y., to Pompano Beach, Fla., where it operates as Point Blank Solutions Inc. Hatfield left the company in November 2005.

Burton visits new Winni Playhouse complex MEREDITH — Executive Councilor Ray Burton visited The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s new theater campus. Though Burton had visited the campus several times over the past few years, this was the first time he had visited since the building was completed in June. Burton, who has supported the Playhouse with a donation to its capital campaign, toured the four levels of the theater, including the lighting catwalks, dressing rooms and costume storage where he and the Playhouse’s Chairman, Christopher Boothby paused to try on some hats. “We are so pleased that Councilor Burton took the time to visit us,” Boothby remarked. “With such an ambitious project, it’s wonderful to have the support of so many individuals, both on the local and state level.” Before attending a show, Burton had dinner at the theater provided by Magic Foods Restaurant Group, the Playhouse’s catering partner. “I really can’t think of another theater in the state with this level of amenities for their guests. It is truly a unique experience to visit the campus and enjoy all that it has to offer,”

The children climb trees, jump off rocks, balance on logs, and build shelters outside. There are weekly expeditions with a naturalist to learn about specific topics and visits with live animals. The blending of environmental education in a nature preschool with the Montessori approach creates a rich program for students. The classroom is a carefully prepared environment with activities that introduce letters, numbers, geography, care of the self and the environment, scifrom preceding page A fall-themed menu is planned which includes a squash bisque soup appetizer followed by a maple balsamic chicken entrée, and an apple spice cake for dessert.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My daughter-in-law tends to go to her family. She says she is uncomfortable with my son’s side. She has been rude to us since she married my son, and she controls him. She threatens him if he does not do what she wants. My daughter had a fight with my daughter-in-law four years ago, and I just woke up to the fact that my daughter in-law blames us for my daughter’s actions. My husband and I tried therapy with my son and daughter-in-law, but it made things worse. I left, saying that I am not happy with either of them and I just want to see my grandchildren. My son said that if I don’t continue with therapy, I won’t see the kids again. They are using the children as weapons to control us. I told her she didn’t like us from Day One. She told me she doesn’t trust me. My new granddaughter had a baptism, and my daughter-in-law told us it was an occasion only for her family. We were insulted and hurt. I’m thinking of going to court and suing for grandparents’ rights. -- Trustworthy Dear Trustworthy: Your son and his wife may not be behaving in a kind or loving way, but there is room for improvement on both sides. They are willing to go for counseling to resolve this, which is a good sign. But walking out of a counseling session because you don’t like what you hear is not productive. The point of counseling is to work through the issues that get in the way of a better relationship. Please stop trying to get your son to favor you over his wife. It won’t happen. The more you blame her the more defensive they both will be. If you want to be in his life and see those grandkids, we urge you to agree to go back for counseling and really work on it with an open mind. Dear Annie: I recently married a man who is quite won-
derful, but he won’t help out around the house. We have a child together, and I am the breadwinner. When I’m not working, I’m cleaning the house and picking up after him. Once in a while, he may do a chore or two, but that’s it. We’ve had many talks about this, and he always agrees to do things when I ask. But I still come home from work and find nothing done, and he has plenty of excuses. He will be 30 soon. He was not raised this way, and his mother has tried to help, but we can’t seem to make any progress. What can I do? This is driving me insane -- Maid on Demand and Sick of It Dear Maid: Can you afford periodic cleaning help? Would you be willing to relax your standards a bit? Can you stop picking up after your husband? Could you save the housecleaning for weekends and make it a joint effort? Sometimes, this is simply a matter of disorganization, in which case a list and a reminder might work. You cannot force your husband to grow up, but you can help him understand that this type of issue will erode a marriage over time, making one partner resentful and turning the other into a recalcitrant child. He needs to step up. Dear Annie: I, too, have suffered from depression all my life. It took courage to finally seek help, because you think you’re “crazy” and fear the stigma of admitting something is wrong. I thought the gap between where I was and being “normal’ was as wide as the Grand Canyon. In fact, it’s only as wide as a couple of pills. It took a few tries befo re I found the medication that works best for me. Once I “came out,” I discovered that several people I work with are also on antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication. -- Been There, Too.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What is to one person an accurate account is to another person a cynical observation. You take the middle ground. You’re accurate enough to be realistic, but you’ll still position the facts in a flattering light. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You admire people who do not speak ill of their loved ones, and you regret the times in which you have said too much. Temporary irritations will pass. Patience and quiet help them pass without too much negativity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Acting in accordance with your personal morality system will bring health and vitality to all aspects of your life. Note that your personal morality isn’t necessarily the same as the next person’s. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 16). You’ll prove that acquired knowledge is not the path to greatness as you bring something more than can be learned through study to an endeavor and reach a high level of achievement. You’ll work hard through September and October. November features new relationships. You’ll be hand-in-hand with a partner through 2014. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 23, 9, 30 and 26.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be dealing in matters of pleasure and guilt, weighing one against the other to determine just how far you can go into the realm of empty gratification. It could be that even one step toward temptation is too much. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some memories come back, inducing cringes. Some memories come back, majestically. Some memories never come back at all. Make a special effort so today’s occurrences will be memorable enough to warrant the round trip. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a drive in you to do important work. An analytical friend will be an asset to you now, as this person can help you distinguish between worthy and unworthy causes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you desire may fly in the face of reason. It’s best not to bring it up in polite company just yet. Wait until you’re alone with your thoughts to process what you want and why you want it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your colors will show up in strange ways today. The gold, red and purple that represent the royal lion will seem to fly like a flag, declaring that you are indeed the ruler of your life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People mirror the way their thoughts travel in how they physically get around. Today you’ll rather enjoy those who amble along, meandering in a few loopy detours along the way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll need help at home because there is currently too much other stuff going on that is distracting you from domestic life. Business and social happenings take up the lion’s share of attention but are highly fulfilling. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). With your all-conquering spirit, you’ll interpret life’s little disappointments as encouraging messages from the universe, such as: “You’re strong.” “You can do more.” “You were meant for better than this.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Small victories reflect a bigger kind of win. You’ll put energy into mastering a game or technique, but what you’re really mastering is the art of being you.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 16, 2013
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Aug. 16, the 228th day of 2013. There are 137 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley died at his Graceland estate in Memphis, Tenn., at age 42. On this date: In 1777, American forces won the Revolutionary War Battle of Bennington. In 1812, Detroit fell to British and Indian forces in the War of 1812. In 1858, a telegraphed message from Britain’s Queen Victoria to President James Buchanan was transmitted over the recently laid trans-Atlantic cable. In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln issued Proclamation 86, which prohibited the states of the Union from engaging in commercial trade with states in rebellion — i.e., the Confederacy. In 1913, future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin was born in Brest in present-day Belarus. In 1937, the American Federation of Radio Artists was chartered. In 1948, baseball legend Babe Ruth died in New York at age 53. In 1954, Sports Illustrated was first published by Time Inc. In 1956, Adlai E. Stevenson was nominated for president at the Democratic national convention in Chicago. In 1962, The Beatles fired their original drummer, Pete Best, replacing him with Ringo Starr. In 1987, 156 people were killed when Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed while trying to take off from Detroit; the sole survivor was 4-yearold Cecelia Cichan (SHEE’-an). People worldwide began a two-day celebration of the “harmonic convergence,” which heralded what believers called the start of a new, purer age of humankind. In 1993, New York police rescued business executive Harvey Weinstein from a covered 14-foot-deep pit, where he’d been held nearly two weeks for ransom. Actor Stewart Granger died in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 80. Ten years ago: The Midwest and Northeast were almost fully recovered from the worst power outage in U.S. history. A car driven by U.S. Rep. Bill Janklow ran a stop sign on a rural road in South Dakota and collided with motorcyclist Randy Scott, who died. Idi Amin, the former dictator of Uganda, died in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia; he was believed to have been about 80. Five years ago: At the Beijing Olympics, Michael Phelps touched the wall a hundredth of a second ahead of Serbia’s Milorad Cavic to win the 100-meter butterfly, giving Phelps his seventh gold medal of the Games, tying Mark Spitz’s performance in the 1972 Munich Games. Usain (yooSAYN’) Bolt of Jamaica ran the 100-meter dash in a stunning world-record time of 9.69 seconds. One year ago: Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney declared he had paid at least 13 percent of his income in federal taxes every year for the previous decade; President Barack Obama’s campaign shot back in doubt: “Prove it.” A U.S. military helicopter crashed during a firefight with insurgents in southern Afghanistan, killing seven Americans and four Afghans. Ecuador decided to identify WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as a refugee and give him asylum in its London embassy.

Host families sought for exchange students LACONIA — Local families are invited to “Share Your America” with a high school exchange student from one of 70 European, South American, Asian, or African countries during the upcoming school year. Sponsored by PAXProgram of Academic Exchange (PAX), these students arrive to the U.S. in August, over the next two weeks. PAX students are 15-18 years old, have studied English for at least three years, and are motivated to learn more about the U.S. by attending high school and living with a host family. PAX students are eager to experience American activities—backyard barbecues, birthday celebrations, and holi-
days with their host families. They are covered by comprehensive medical insurance and have their own spending money for incidentals. Volunteer host families provide PAX students with a bed, a quiet place to study, a seat at the dining table, a warm and supportive home environment, and encouragement to engage in everyday American life. Host family opportunities are available to all types of families. Single parents, young couples, retirees, and parents with teenagers are all welcome to host.
