Teen crashes car into small Belmont home

BELMONT — A local teen is charged with driving while intoxicated and conduct after an accident for crashing into the living room of a small house on Depot Street (Rte. 140 West) just after midnight on Tuesday and fleeing the scene after the crash. Police said Derek Addington, 18, of 16 Village Apartment Road Apt. 3 was driving on the roadway toward Belmont Village and apparently missed the left-bending turn that is about one-quarter of a mile see HOME page 9

Downtown business leaders think city spending $400k on sprucing up Main Street ‘gateway’ is misguided priority BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Main Street Initiative, representing downtown business and property owners, has expressed misgivings about the plan for constructing “Gateway Plaza” at the Main Street Bridge over the Winnipesaukee River. Earlier this week the executive committee of the organization voted unanimously to oppose the proj-

ect, which is slated to be presented to the City Council for its approval next week. The project was recommended by the Advisory Board of the Downtown Tax Increment Financing District, which is chaired by Kevin Dunleavy, director of Parks and Recreation and includes Planning Director Shanna Saunders. Under the plan, the concrete fronting Grace Capital Church and the parking

garage on one side and Sawyer’s Jewelry on the other would be replaced with brick pavers and both areas would be landscaped with shade trees and raised planters. Conceived as a pedestrian plaza, it would include together with granite benches, timbered seating, trellises, sculpture and lighting. The traffic island on the bridge itself would also be landscaped. The project is see DOWNTOWN page 11

Elderly Wisconsin grocery store owner refuses would be robber

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (AP) — A masked robber apparently thought the 96-year-old owner of a neighborhood grocery store in Marshfield would be an easy target for his crime. But, he was so wrong. Margaretta Wolf has owned the store bearing her family name for 54 years. And she wasn’t about to turn over her cash to the armed intruder after he ordered her to open the cash register. “I said: ‘I’m not opening up that cash register and that’s it, I’m not opening it. I said you can have all the Tootsie Rolls you want but I am not opening that cash register,’” said Wolf. The man in the silver mask and carrying a knife continued to give Wolf orders during the robbery attempt Monday. “He said, ‘Walk in the back of the store,’ I said, ‘I’m not walking no place, I’m standing right here,’” Wolf recounted. The elderly store owner stood her ground when the man flashed a pocketknife and placed it on the counter. see ROBBER page 9

Rolling Stone puts glamorous photo of Tsarnaev on its cover BOSTON (AP) — A Rolling Stone cover story featuring a glamorous photo of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is generating controversy, with several retailers including CVS and Walgreens announcing Wednesday that they will not carry the issue. The cover of the magazine’s Aug. 1 edition is a photo in which Tsarnaev looks more like one of the rock stars that usually grace it than a suspect in the April 15 bombings at the marathon finish line

that killed three and wounded more than 260. A preview on the magazine’s website says the story by contributing editor Janet Reitman traces how “a bright kid with a charming future became a monster.” Rolling Stone editors said in a statement that the story falls within the traditions of journalism and the magazine’s commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage. “The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more

important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens,” the statement said. The cover was ill-conceived at best and reaffirms a message that destruction gains fame for killers, Boston Mayor Tom Menino wrote in a letter to Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner. “Among those we lost, those who survived, and those who help carry them forsee COVER page 9

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Samara Banks often called a cab to take her and her four little boys home from family visits on the other side of Roosevelt Boulevard, a 12-lane, cross-town highway that’s notorious in Philadelphia for both drag racing and pedestrian deaths. But she thought it had cooled down enough Tuesday night to walk the mile back home. Banks, 28, and her three youngest sons

were killed as they crossed at a point with grassy medians dividing the traffic lanes, but no crosswalk or traffic light. Her oldest, a 5-year-old, survived with bumps and bruises. Police were questioning a 22-year-old driver allegedly seen racing another vehicle just before the 10:30 p.m. crash, and said charges were pending. “The cab service knows her well,” said LaTanya Byrd, an aunt who described

Banks as a devoted mother who had helped raise siblings after her own mother died. “Last night, it got a little cooler and she felt she could walk.” Roosevelt Boulevard had the nation’s 2nd and 3rd most dangerous intersections in a 2001 insurance company study, which tallied 618 crashes at those two intersections alone in a two-year period. The speed limit is 40 mph where Banks see SONS page 4

mitted in 1998. Gilford Police detained Damon Ciaramitaro, 36, of 72 Maplewood Lane after they were called to assist Meadowbrook security for an intoxicated man in the concourse area. The responding police officer called for medical assistance because it appeared Ciaramitaro was impaired by alcohol and drugs. After being transported, police said emergency personnel at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia cleared him medically but indicated he may be high on LSD. During his detention, police found marijuana in his pocket and learned there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest for failing to appear in court in March of 2002 for a charge of resisting arrest that allegedly occurred in 1998 and in which a Sarasota, Florida Police officer was assaulted. Ciaramitaro pleaded guilty yesterday in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division to one count of possession of marijuana and was fined $350. He was sentenced to one year in the Belknap County House of Corrections — suspended. He was credited with $100 toward his fine for the two days he’s spend in jail. Judge Jim Carroll ordered Ciaramitaro held without bail on the outstanding warrant from Florida. Gilford Police Lt. Kris Kelley said he’s not sure if the state of Florida will extradite Ciaramitaro but said it will be at the state of Florida’s expense and not the state of New Hampshire’s. A bail hearing is scheduled for August 1 in the Laconia’s Circuit Court. — Gail Ober SONS from page 2 and her boys were killed, but drivers frequently go 10 or 20 miles above that to make — or run — a light, neighbors said Wednesday. Many residents of the lower-income area don’t have cars, and are left to traverse the boulevard on foot to get to schools, parks and stores. Just hours after Banks and her boys died, Iris Rolon chose the same mid-block route to cross with her 10-year-old daughter and 8-year-old niece. They were walking to a city pool on the 95-degree day. “It ain’t safe, but I like to wait until I see that the light changes,” said Rolon, who admits she once had a close call crossing the boulevard in her youth. Police could not immediately provide more recent data on fatal or non-fatal accidents on the road, but news reports detail a few of them. Last August, 43-year-old Michael Romano died after pushing his 5-year-old son out of danger just before he was struck by a hit-and-run driver at 11 p.m. His death came just days after another man was killed in a 2 a.m. hit and run nearby. And 36-year-old pedestrian Brenda Rodriguez was struck and killed in June 2009 after she and a friend picked up Chinese food. Witnesses said she was struck as two drivers racing each other, both of whom fled. They died even after police installed red-light cameras to try to calm traffic. “Every time I cross the boulevard, I see somebody running the light. I think they don’t know there’s a camera there,” said Angel Mendoza, 32, who lives a block away. The young man being questioned in Tuesday’s crash was driving a 2012 Audi, while the other car involved was a 1994 Honda, police said. Banks had previously worked at a day care center, and her apartment was often the gathering spot for her large extended family, relatives said. They plan to bury her with her 7-month-old son in a cemetery plot just across the street, and bury her 23-monthold and 4-year-old together in an adjacent plot.

Alton woman is Mount Washington Cruise Line’s ﬁrst female skipper BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Patricia Quinn, who this summer becomes the first woman skipper to pilot a Mount Washington Cruise Line ship, is used to breaking gender stereotypes. Her first college degree in Rhode Island was as an industrial arts teacher, a field which few women have ventured into. And she is currently the U.S. Coast Guard/Sector Boston’s senior reserve officer, responsible for managing 159 reservists and keeping their skills sharp. As a federal emergency management responder, she’s worked as a liaison officer in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and as a member in the incident command post in the situation unit in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. Quinn has also served as a member of the New Hampshire Marine Patrol, working there from 1990 through 1997. She split her time between Lake Winnipesaukee and the New Hampshire seacoast, where her skills at piloting 44-foot motor launches and 41-foot utility boats in tidal waters, learned during her four years of active

service in the Coast Guard, made her a valuable addition to the Marine Patrol staff. A certified special education teacher who earned her degree at Plymouth State University, Quinn worked for 20 years at the Kingswood Regional Vocational Center in Wolfeboro, where she was a vocational assessment specialist until that position was eliminated by budget cuts last year. ‘’There is life after Kingswood. I’m convinced things happen for a reason and I’m looking forward to a piloting the Doris E this summer,’’ says Quinn, who has been a resident of the Lakes Region for 20 years. ‘’I love this area. It’s really full of natural beauty and I really like being out on the lake. When you enjoy what you’re doing it’s not work,’’ says Quinn. She says that she was encouraged to apply for the pilot’s position by Leo O’Connell, the cruise line’s fleet commander and safety director, who thought her skills would make her a good match for the organization. She says that she’s learning the ropes under the tutelage of Captain Bob Duffey and starting to memorize the script that she’ll be reading to passengers on the 68-foot excursion vessel, which makes several one hour

Zimmerman acquittal not tied to Stand Your Ground Welcome to the Obama administration’s cringe-inducing non sequitur of the week. On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder continued stoking the fires of racial resentment over a Florida jury’s acquittal of George Zimmerman. In an address to NAACP leaders, who are demanding federal intervention, Holder attacked Stand Your Ground self-defense laws. All together now: Squirrel! “Separate and apart from the (Trayvon Martin) case that has drawn the nation’s attention, it’s time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of selfdefense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods,” Holder opined. He then baselessly claimed that such laws are creating “more violence than they prevent” and used his platform to promote citizens’ “duty to retreat.” So, what exactly do Stand Your Ground laws have to do with Zimmerman and Martin? Absolutely nothing, of course. Outside your own home, common principles of self-defense dictate that unless you have reasonable fear of deadly force or harm, you must flee if possible rather than use deadly force. But a “duty to retreat” rests on the ability to retreat. And “duty to retreat” was irrelevant in Zimmerman’s case because — pinned to the ground with Martin on top of him, bashing his head on the concrete — he was unable to retreat. This didn’t stop the NAACP crowd from cheering their heads off when Holder tossed out his red meat. Holder’s racial-grievancemongering agenda has also been bolstered by media propaganda outlets, who’ve been dutifully bashing Stand Your Ground regardless of the facts. The New York Times, for example, falsely claimed in an editorial preceding Holder’s speech that the jury “reached its verdict after having been asked to consider Mr. Zimmerman’s actions in light of the now-notorious Stand Your Ground provision in Florida’s self-defense law.” Rolling Stone made a similarly inflammatory claim, calling Martin a “victim of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.” All nonsense. The jury received standard instructions. Zimmerman did not invoke the Stand Your Ground provision. Zimmerman later waived his right to a pretrial immunity hearing under the Stand Your Ground procedures. And as National Review’s Sterling Beard points out, “The only time Stand Your Ground came up during the trial proper was when a prosecution witness stated that he’d taught a class Zimmerman had attended that covered Stand Your Ground.” Even the prosecution rejects the cynical attempt to tie Martin’s death to Stand Your Ground.

Prosecutor John Guy couldn’t have made it clearer during the trial: “This case is not about standing your ground.” During their post-trial press conference, as conservative talk show host Victoria Taft first noted, a Miami Herald reporter asked the prosecution team specifically whether Stand Your Ground “affected the facts in this case and whether this case could have been won, perhaps, pre the changes in the law.” Prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda replied: “You know, self-defense has existed for a long time. And we’ve dealt with it in Jackson for a long time. We’ve tried a lot of self-defense cases; I’ve personally tried 10-15 self-defense cases. They’re tough cases, but we accept it so ... the law really hasn’t changed all that much. Stand Your Ground was a big thing, but really the law hasn’t changed. We have a right to bear arms and a right to self defense.” In short, Stand Your Ground did not kill Trayvon Martin. Stand Your Ground did not sway the jury. Stand Your Ground saboteurs don’t have a leg to stand on. Columnist Jacob Sullum observed drily: “You might think that, given all we now know about Zimmerman’s actual defense, critics of ‘stand your ground’ laws would have to find a different, more apposite case to illustrate their concerns. Instead they just barrel along, citing the same phony example again and again, without regard to the facts. It does not inspire confidence in their argument.” Nope, it inspires exasperation and contempt. Once again, Eric Holder’s Department of Selective and Social Justice is grasping for straws. Holder now vows to “continue to fight for removal of Stand Your Ground laws” that had nothing to do with the Zimmerman trial. He promises to ban “racial profiling” in the aftermath of a local crime incident that — according to Holder’s own FBI employees — had nothing to do with race. This is all a transparent pretext, of course, for undermining a plethora of state laws enacted by pro-Second Amendment legislatures. (Never mind that eight of 15 states that adopted Stand Your Ground legislation were helmed by Democratic governors at the time of passage.) Even more insidiously, left-wing groups have exploited the Martin case to launch broader attacks on the political speech and activities of limitedgovernment groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council, which supported Stand Your Ground. The Obama administration’s cynical campaign against Stand Your Ground laws is a racially charged weapon of mass distraction. The goal isn’t public safety or community harmony. The goal is for conservative political opponents to Surrender Your Ground. Silence, as always, is complicity. Political self-defense, as with physical self-defense, begins with self-assertion.

LETTERS Taboo against talking about dying is about to change, locally To The Daily Sun, Ever wonder what kind of a crap game you’re in and who the players are? Wonder no longer because a Death Café is coming this way very shortly. Talking about dying has long been taboo in our culture but that’s all about to change. A movement which started about 10 years ago in Switzerland and spread to Belgium and France then the UK and since 2004 has made its appearance in various cities as Columbus Ohio, Vancouver BC , Sonoma County, California and Chicago. The goal is to raise awareness with the view of helping people make the most of their lives. It has to be a good thing when people are open to get together and talk about death. Keeping it socially unacceptable and taboo is how the funeral industry got so commercial. Usually meetings are held over coffee and donuts and usually run themselves even though there is a facilitator. Sample questions that you might run into are: How do you want to die? In your sleep? In the hospital? Of what cause? When do you want to die? Is 100 too old? Are you scared? What kind of funeral do you want — if any. Is cremation better than burial? What do you need to accomplish before your life is over? You may also learn about creating wills

and advanced medical directives. I’m sure near-death experiences and communicating with the dead will pop up somewhere! What happens after death? Is there a heaven or hell? What are the different views of various religious traditions? Sound kind of gloomy to you? I thought so too at first but anytime we can demystify and throw light on a subject — to the horror of western religions — I’m all for it. If you’re interested in attending such meetings you can call Starr King on Fairgrounds Rd. in Plymouth at 536-8908. Go easy on the donuts though. One too many may make these meetings more pertinent than you think. If you’re young enough to last another 10-15 years you might not need to attend. There are some very bright people sponsored by some very rich people who are looking into making us all immortal in the very near future. It’s just a matter of downloading your brain and exchanging your flesh and blood for some shiny mechanical parts. Voila! Instant immortality. Snicker all you want. We share 60 percent of our genes with a banana; 90 percent with a mouse; and 99 percent with a chimpanzee. I look at it as “upward mobility”. Pass the lubricant. George Maloof Plymouth

Commission looking at ways to reduce cost of new-jail project To The Daily Sun, The County Commissioners would like to keep you updated regarding the planning process to address the existing jail conditions and implement a community corrections model. We have presented a plan that reflects one scenario based on bed space projections, facility square footage, and costs. This scenario was carefully evaluated by a planning committee and determined to produce the best outcomes for our county after reviewing with representatives from all participant agencies involved in our criminal justice system. We have listened and heard many concerns from the Delegation as well as others in the community and are looking at a number of ways to reduce the cost of the project. These include: — Revisit the projection scenarios and attempt to reduce the number

admission and length of stay assumptions; also consider a different projection threshold (vs. the 25 year projection currently utilized). — Explore alternate options for the Community Corrections Center, new construction or renovate an existing space. — Consider opportunities to work with a neighboring county. — Reduce the overall size of the facility. The Commissioners look forward to sharing these findings with the Delegation as we move forward in addressing the needs of the incarcerated population in a safe, secure, and rehabilitative environment that saves costs in the long run by reducing recidivism. Belknap County Commissioners John H. Thomas Edward D Philpot, Jr.

LETTERS Progressives need to believe America is hopelessly racist nation To The Daily Sun, In response to Bernadette Loesch’s letter last Friday in the Sun: I a simple man, am perplexed by most of your reply. I mentioned that it was likely you had never heard of George Thomas and the horrifying rape and murders committed by George and four others. Your seemingly incoherent reply, “I will admit to you that I do not know either individual you refer to in your letter. But I will tell you this fact. I know that they were both involved in crimes whether they be the alleged perpetrator or victim”. Sheesh, it’s an AFLAC duck/Yogi Berra redux moment. You obviously did not check out the situation at all. The two people killed were not involved in any crimes whatsoever. George and the four other perpetrators had been involved in numerous unlawful activities. And judging by your response, you are copacetic with the Maryland teacher injecting an inaccurate racist component in her lesson plan by using the Emmitt Till murder as a comparison to the Martin/Zimmerman case. You said, “who better than a teacher who is qualified and responsible for the education of our children...right?” Only if one thinks indoctrinating our youth with racialist, progressive, revisionist history is a good thing. Bernadette, you are spot on when you said, “in this day and age for skin color to cloud our opinions be it positive or negative, pollutes any logical decisions or outcomes in the legal arena and in our daily lives”. President Obama, certain Democrats, the mainstream media, Hollywood and Eric Holder’s thoroughly corrupt justice department are classic examples. Judicial Watch obtained documents revealing that the Department of Justice helped organize demonstrations and protests against Zimmerman under the guise of being sent to offer calm guidance and maintain the peace. And that was using unsolicited taxpayer funds to boot. As writer and radio host, Derek Hunter notes, Progressives need people to believe America is a horribly and hopelessly racist nation to justify bigger government and more thought crimes. I would add, also to keep Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Ben Jealous (NAACP president) relevant since as Derek says, “actually talking about and solving problems for which they’ve appointed themselves champions would put them out of business”.

Christopher Paslay, M.Ed, notes how many people in 21st century America believe “colorblindness” is an ideal and goal we all strive for. Unfortunately, a liberal professor at Eastern University while giving a lesson about social justice, told the class that “colorblindness” is a code word for white supremacy. So I ask you, just which group is it that seems reluctant to admit that white racism against blacks is really quite hard to find today. Which is why progressives made up the story that George Zimmerman had racial animus in his heart when there was no evidence whatsoever to make that claim. Look up Sherman Ware, homeless black man in 2010 when George came to his aid to get a police officer’s son charged with assault. Karin McQuillan, author and psychotherapist reminds us how the country working together, black and white, Republican and Democrat, Christian and Jew, were wildly successful in overcoming racism and discrimination to a very large degree. She says that within a generation, racism became rare and socially unacceptable. According to a World Values survey, only 3.8 percent of Americans are reluctant to have a neighbor of another race. Within two generations, we elected a black president who has a black Attorney General, after already having two black Secretaries of State. I find it incomprehensible and so sad that our own president, ably assisted by Eric Holder and their progressive armies, continue to promote victimhood and impart the notion to black children that the deck is stacked against them. Hundreds of black men, women and children are murdered every year in the inner cities of America and there are no Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson demonstrations demanding justice and solutions for them. They are merely nameless faces dying silently in the graveyards of political correctness while the race hustlers recommit to their relentless search for the next white on black crime. Bernadette, I hope you are with me in what should be a bipartisan quest for a true colorblind society. And in any future letters to me, please make sure they are indeed logical and cohesive. After all, I am but a simple man trying to make sense of this crazy world of ours. Russ Wiles Tilton

One of my family members was officer in large police department To The Daily Sun, This reply is to address Dave Schwotzer’s query as to whether I know the difference between a prison and a county Jail: I will share with you a bit of information of my in-depth knowledge of the difference between a prison and a county jail. Although you do not need to know about my life history or background, as I wish to keep it out

of public arena, I am willing to share this much with you and the readers of this newspaper. One of my family members wore two separate uniforms for many, many years. One uniform was worn during service in the U.S. Military, the other was worn as a law enforcement officer for a large police department. Enough said. Bernadette Loesch Laconia

Dogs locked in car during Meadowbrook concert freed by police; owner charged GILFORD — A Florida man has been charged with misdemeanor cruelty to animals for allegedly leaving his two dogs locked in a car while he was at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook on Tuesday night. Police said Joshua P. Leluex, 24, of 4716 Northwest 28th St. in Gainsville, Florida had left his dogs in the back seat with the windows barely open. The dogs were secured to arm rests and had little room to move.

Police said they were call to the parking lot at 8:11 p.m. by someone who saw the dogs panting, was concerned, and the outside temperature was 91 degrees. Gilford Police used a car unlocking device to get into the car and give the two dogs some water. The dogs were taken to the N.H. Humane Society shelter in Laconia. Leleux is free on personal recognizance bail. — Gail Ober

Exit 24 entrance ramp will be closed for 2 months CONCORD — The N.H.Department of Transportation (NHDOT) announces the start of a pavement and bridge rehabilitation project on Interstate 93 in Ashland and Plymouth. This project begins just south of Exit 24 in Ashland and extends approximately 6.6 miles to just north of Exit 26 in Plymouth. It will include the rehabilitation of 15 bridges along I-93, as well as drainage and guardrail improvements.

Beginning the week of July 22, the southbound on-ramp at Exit 24 from U.S. Route 3 in Ashland will be closed for approximately two months to allow for construction work. Message boards and signed detours will be in place to alert motorists of the closure. Pike Industries, Inc. of Belmont, New Hampshire is the general contractor for the $8.97 million project, which has a final completion date of October 31, 2014.

Police planning sobriety checkpoint in Tilton TILTON — A Regional DWI Task Force has received court permission to conduct a sobriety checkpoint in this town at some time between Friday, July 19 and Sunday, July 28. The purpose of the checkpoint is to detect and apprehend the impaired driver. All drivers will be stopped. The exact date, time and location of the checkpoint will not be announced. A program, approved by the N.H. Highway Safety Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, provides federal highway safety funds to support these checkpoints.

Tilton Police Department Chief Robert Cormier, Chief Mark Lewandoski of the Belmont Police Department, Chief Steve Hankard of the Sanbornton Police Department and Chief David Goldstein of the Franklin Police Department and Acting Chief John Raffaelly of the Northfield Police Department have taken an aggressive stance to prevent persons from driving when intoxicated. New Hampshire has some of the most aggressive laws in the country to fight the intoxicated driver and the law enforcement community will use those tools to their full extent.

MEDICAL POT from page 2

12 seedlings and 6 ounces for each patient who designates the dispensary as a treatment center. The compromise passed last month eliminated an option for patients to also grow marijuana at home. Homegrow option supporters had argued some patients need legal access to the drug now and waiting for dispensaries to start operating put them through needless suffering, but Hassan said she wouldn’t sign the bill if it included those provisions. To qualify for medical marijuana, New Hampshire residents would have to have been a patient of the prescribing doctor for at least 90 days, have tried other remedies and have exhibited certain symptoms. Other bills that have yet to reach Hassan include one that changes a voter photo identification law adopted last session and another that reinstates a modified version of a program for troubled youth that was cut severely last session. Under the voter ID bill, valid student identification will be allowed if the card is issued by a college or career school in New Hampshire or a New Hampshire high school. Student IDs can be expired but the expiration date must have been within five years. Current law ends acceptance of student IDs on Sept. 1.

hold onto a bill indefinitely. A spokesman for Norelli, a Democrat from Portsmouth, said she was traveling last week and will sign the medical marijuana bill and others this week. Hassan has said she will sign the medical marijuana bill when it reaches her. It will take effect with her signature but getting the program operating could take up to two years. The bill calls for a commission implementing the new system to be appointed as soon as possible. The bill will make New Hampshire the 19th state to legalize possession and use of the drug. Under the bill, up to four dispensaries can be licensed and have a maximum of 80 marijuana plants, 160 seedlings and 80 ounces of marijuana or 6 ounces per qualifying patient. They also would have a limit of three mature cannabis plants, SKIPPER from page 5 Lake Winnipesaukee.

Forrester fitting right in to Senate work now but still feels more at home in her district By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Now in her second term in the New Hampshire Senate representing District 2, Jeanie Forrester has earned a place among the Republican leadership in the Statehouse, but she said “I would rather spend time in the district than in Concord. It keeps you in touch with the people you represent. It takes a lot of time,” she conceded, “but it’s important. I’m constantly impressed by the sophistication and intelligence of local officials.” Apart from her responsibilities in the Senate, where she is vice-chairman of both the Finance Committee and the Public and Municipal Affairs Committee, Forrester serves on the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee in Meredith and as a director of the Greater Meredith Program, Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra, Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor, Latchkey Charities and the Franklin Business & Industrial Development Corporation. She also volunteers for Community Caregivers, noting that driving the needy and elderly to appointments is an opportunity “to talk and learn about what concerns them.” “It was interesting this time around,” Forrester said, reflecting on the first year of her second term. “I felt more part of the group.” She acknowledged that during her first term, when Republicans held overwhelming majorities in both the House and the Senate, the Senate majority shelved a number of the most controversial bills adopted by the House. This year, the Republicans held the slimmest of majorities in the Senate with 13 of the 24 seats while the Democrats ruled the House. “I think the Senate got along better with the

Cleveland kidnapping suspect won’t keep his eyes open as he enters not guilty pleas to 1k charges CLEVELAND (AP) — A man accused of holding three women captive for a decade was scolded repeatedly by a judge to raise his head and open his eyes in a brief court appearance where he pleaded not guilty Wednesday to nearly 1,000 counts of kidnap, rape and other crimes. For the most part, Ariel Castro, 53, responded to the judge’s questions with one-word answers as he faced charges that included 512 counts of kidnapping and 446 counts of rape. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Pamela Barker repeatedly told him to raise his head and keep his eyes open so “I make sure that you are listening to me and understanding what I’m saying, OK?” “I’m trying,” said Castro, who in past court appearances had kept his head down and his chin tucked on his chest. One of his attorneys, Craig Weintraub, declined later to discuss Castro’s courtroom demeanor. “I’m not going to comment on that,” he said. The charges returned Friday by a grand jury against Castro expanded on a 329-count indictment filed earlier that covered only part of the time frame of the alleged crimes. He previously pleaded not guilty to that indictment. Castro has been jailed since his arrest on May 6 shortly after the women escaped to freedom. The judge continued his bond at $8 million. Besides kidnapping and rape, the new 977-count indictment also charges him with seven counts of gross sexual imposition, six counts of felonious assault, three counts of child endangerment and one count of possessing criminal tools. He previously was charged with two counts of aggravated murder related to one act, charges alleging that he purposely caused the unlawful termination of the pregnancy of one of the women.

House this session than the last,” Forrester said. The significant issues dividing the two, she said, especially the Senate support for introducing casino gambling and the House support for raising the gas tax, had supporters and opponents from both parties in both chambers. Sen. Jeanie Forrester (Courtesy photo) One of a handful of Republican senators opposed to expanded gambling, Forrester said she told Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), the chairman of the Finance Committee who sponsored the gambling bill, “right out of the gate that I would not support gambling, but it made no difference to him. We worked together very well.” Nor did Forrester favor increasing the gas tax. “It was not the right time,” she said, adding that she polled the 27 towns in her district and found scant support. She said that Senator Jim Rausch (R-Derry), the chairman of the Transportation Committee who strongly supported the proposed increase, served notice that he will introduce it again next year. Forrester said that she recognizes the need to fund improvements in roads and bridges, but said that “I need to know that it’s going where it’s supposed to go,” stressing that a larger share of the money should be distributed among municipalities. Without either expanded gambling or higher gas taxes, the budget represented a compromise. Forrester highlighted the $8.5-million for the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP), $4.1-million for municipal water and sewer and the

restoration of compensation for towns where land was taken for flood control projects. She said that she advocated for fully funding substance abuse programs, but conceded that $500,000 is “more than nothing.” Forrester defended the decision of the Republican Senate majority to defer a decision on expanding Medicaid pending the report of study commission in October. Denying that her position is “political,” she said “all I heard was that the system is broken, that we have the lowest reimbursement rates in the country, it took eight years to put the Managed Medicaid Information System in place and we’ve missed three deadlines for introduced managed care for Medicaid. Why,” she asked, “should we rush to add more people to a broken system?” “I don’t believe we can just say no,” Forrester continued. “We have to find solutions.” Insisting that “I do my homework,” she said that she is hosting a series of roundtable discussions on the expansion of Medicaid around the districts in anticipation of addressing the issue in the fall. “I’m hopeful we can come up with something that suits New Hampshire,” she said. Meanwhile, Forrester, who said that she intends to run for re-election in 2014, continues to patrol her district. She said that recently she met with Executive Councilor Ray Burton and officials from the Department of Environmental Services and Department of Transportation in Warren, where parts of town are threatened by the Baker River. “You go to these things and everybody looks at it, says its bad and leaves,” she said. “No, that’s not what you’re supposed to do!”

GILMANTON from page one able leader of the Planning Board,” they wrote. The “paragraph” was one that was drafted by Planning Administrator Desiree Tumas, approved by former Chair Nancy Girard, and sent to the property owners in Florida on October 15, 2012 telling them the Planning Board had revoked contractor Ryan Benson’s approval to operate a commercial business and had converted their property back to residential use. The letter said they could have his things removed from the property. The owners had a local man clear the property and Benson reported to police that his items were stolen. Sgt. Matt Currier investigated, Girard and Funk were distressed by the questions and methods he used to pursue the case, and ultimately the police chief and the selectmen got involved. Girard was not reappointed to the board in March, although she and Funk stand behind the state law they used to justify telling the property owners they could have Benson’s belongings removed from their property. Both Funk and Girard are lawyers, however they were not the Planning Board’s lawyer. Police reached out to Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbransen who said she would be unable to successfully prosecute any theft (by the man who took the Benson’s property) because of the letter from the Planning Board that seemingly negates intent on the part of the man who took Benson’s items. Gulbrandsen also wrote she didn’t think the man had the right to take Benson’s belongings. Funk said yesterday a letter from Town Attorney Walter Mitchell to selectmen said pretty much the same thing. He said Mitchell’s opinion was presented as an attachment to the letter from selectmen to the Planning Board in a public session on June 13 — the night Funk resigned. When challenged by Selectman Chair Ralph Lavin, who was the Selectboard representative to the Planning Board the night Funk resigned and who made the motion to remove him as chair, Funk said yesterday he told Lavin that “lawyers disagree”

but it’s not the lawyers who make the decisions as to who’s right and who’s wrong. The problem, said Chief Joe Collins, is the landowners never officially evicted Benson through a court of law and instead used the letter from the Planning Department as the reason for having someone remove Benson’s property from the site. Funk said yesterday he still stands by the letter. He cited RSA 540-A:3, VII that states a landowner can dispose of property from non-residential property after seven days once a tenant has vacated, either by eviction or voluntarily, as the reason for his support of “the paragraph.” He also said had nothing to do with its drafting or approval. He said he only jumped into an e-mail chain circulating through the town’s electronic rumor mill when he became concerned about what he perceived as misrepresentations by contributors to the chain regarding the Benson property, the police, the selectmen, and the Planning Board. “I only wanted for people to understand why the letter (to the property owners) was written,” he said. He also said he wanted to support the integrity of the Planning Board. The e-mail chain was cited by Lavin as one of the reasons selectmen lost confidence in him. When asked yesterday why he didn’t stay on the board as a regular voting member, Funk said he felt that if a majority of the board didn’t have faith in his ability to lead then he didn’t want to continue to serve in any capacity. Funk also noted that Lavin and Planning Board member Wayne Ogni were members of the board when the problems with Benson became known and didn’t object at the time when the board decided to convert the property back to residential use. Ogni seconded Lavin’s motion to remove Funk as chair. He also said yesterday he sent a letter of apology to Sgt. Currier before the June 13 Planning Board meeting. Funk had been on the Planning Board for 15 years. He said yesterday that at this point in time, he would be unlikely to serve again if asked.

ROBBER from page 2 “I said, ‘I’ll press a button and I’ll have somebody here in seconds,’” she said. Wolf said the would-be robber appeared frustrated, looked around, spotted a security camera in the corner, grabbed the knife and fled. Marshfield Police Lt.

while not recommended with what took place, we’re just very, very happy Marge was not injured,” Larsen told WAOW-TV (http://bit.ly/1dEr1wX ). Wolf said she has a few words for the suspect when police catch up with him. “What do I say to him? I say I think you got some punishments coming, and it will be a little bit more than scrubbing the floor,” she said.

Gabler had finished the race and was two blocks away headed to brunch when she heard and felt the explosions. She was unhurt. “I haven’t read the article yet, and I know it will probably be quite indepth, but my initial reaction is that the photo that’s being used almost makes him look like a good guy,” she said. “That’s the story line, but I think the public will have trouble, like me, making the association between here’s the Boston bomber and here’s the guy who appears to be cool on the cover of Rolling Stone.” Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty in the bombings.

Ex-drug dealer says Bulger tried to extort $1M BOSTON (AP) — A former drug dealer testified Wednesday that James “Whitey” Bulger once tried to scare him into paying $1 million by having an associate spin a loaded gun on a table, point it at him, then pull the trigger. William David Lindholm, testifying in Bulger’s racketeering trial, said Bulger’s associate played a “Russian Roulette”-like game with him in 1983. He said the associate first fired the gun and a bullet went by his head. Then, he spun the gun on the table and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not go off, Lindholm said. “I was just glad to get out of there,” he said. Lindholm said he and his partner were major marijuana smugglers who distributed about 85 tons of the drug that summer — without Bulger’s permission. Shortly after that, Lindholm said he was asked to go to a nightclub where he found Bulger and three other men in a small room upstairs. Lindholm said Bulger pulled two guns out and demanded $1 million. He said he negotiated with Bulger to get the amount down to $250,000 and agreed to pay in installments. Afterward, he said, Bulger shook his hand and told him he had handled himself well, but also told him what he’d do if he tried to sell drugs on his own again.

“He’d cut my head off,” Lindholm said. Lindholm was the latest in a string of former drug dealers and bookmakers who have testified that Bulger used threats and intimidation to extort them by demanding lump sum payments or regular “tribute” payments so they could stay in business. Bulger, now 83, is accused in a 32-count racketeering indictment of playing a role in 19 killings in the 1970s and ‘80s while he allegedly led the Winter Hill Gang. He is also charged with money laundering and extortion. Bulger’s alleged partner, Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, is scheduled to testify Thursday — nearly 20 years after they last saw each other. Their former FBI handler, John Connolly, was convicted of tipping off both men in late 1994 that they were about to be indicted. Bulger fled Boston and was one of the nation’s most wanted fugitives until he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011. Flemmi stayed, was arrested and later pleaded guilty to 10 killings. He is now serving a life sentence. Bulger’s lawyers have strongly denied the prosecution contention that their client was an informant who ratted on the New England Mafia and other criminals. They say he paid FBI agents to tip him off to investigations and upcoming indictments.

As part of a bridge reconstruction project, the city’s Planning Department is proposing that some $400,000 be spent on improving the looks of the area as a “gateway” to downtown but some downtown business leaders say the money could be better spent improving the riverwalk. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Ed Engler)

DOWNTOWN from page one estimated to cost between $417,000 and $455,000 depending on the type of materials used. Saunders said yesterday that because the project requires irrigation, drainage and lighting, its design must be incorporated into the engineered plan for the reconstruction of the Main Street Bridge. She said that the N.H. Department of Transportation expects to put the reconstruction of the bridge out to bid in September or October and will need the plan for the plaza “within a couple of weeks.” Reuben Bassett, co-owner of Burrito Me restaurant, said the project is “too expensive and too small.” He agreed that improvements should be made, but questioned whether investing in a pedestrian plaza at one of the busiest intersections in the city was an appropriate use of funds. “It should be scaled back and made part of a larger project.” In a separate motion, the executive committee asked the Advisory Board to lend priority to the completion of the downtown riverwalk, particularly the stretch along the north bank of the Winnipesaukee River between the bridges at Fair Street and Church Street. The committee also recommended that the Advisory Committee collaborate with the WOW Trail to develop interchanges and signage

between the trail and the riverwalk. Saunders said that while the scope of the “Gateway Plaza” project could be reduced the cost savings would not be significant. She said that infrastructure — irrigation, drainage and electricity — required to support the landscaping, not the benches and seating, accounted for the largest share of the costs. At the same time, she said that the project would be presented as part of a larger initiative funded by using the annual revenue from the downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, which is budgeted at $173,688 in 2013-2014, to service principal and interest payments on a borrowing.

Winnipesaukee Playhouse production featuring local celebrity cameos MEREDITH — When The Winnipesaukee Playhouse opens Neil Simon’s hit comedy Barefoot in the Park on Wednesday night, a familiar local character will be making his Playhouse debut in the cameo role of the “Delivery Man”. Alex Ray, owner of The Common Man, is just one local “celebrity” who will be taking on this part. Each performance, a different guest star will feature in the role. Guest stars include local leaders (Ray, Meredith Selectman Nathan Torr, Mill Fall’s Rusty McLear, NH Commissioner of the Arts Van McLeod), media personalities (WLNH’s Pat Kelly and NH Magazine’s Rick Broussard) and local actors who are Playhouse favourites (Jim Rogato, Charles Fray, Steven Richmond, Ken Chapman). Perhaps the only guest star with opening night jitterswill be the Playhouse’s Board Chair, Christopher Boothby. Boothby, a self-proclaimed “non-actor” was the auctioneer at the

Playhouse’s Opening Gala. One of the live auction items was the opportunity to play the Delivery Man for one of the performances. Boothby was happily upping the bids when he discovered that a friend in the audience was bidding on the item in order to put Boothby in the role. He will make his stage debut on Saturday, July 20. Commissioner McLeod reported that he already played the role of the Delivery Man when he was in college and is therefore excited to do it again, “now that I’m finally the correct age for the role.” Performances start July 17th and are Mondays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Monday. Tickets are $27 for seating in the orchestra, $22 for seating in the first row of the balcony and $15 for seating in the second row in the balcony. Tickets can be ordered by calling (603) 279-0333 or by using a credit card at www.winniplayhouse.org.

“This was where Lord of the Rings was filmed”

Open reception tonight at The Gallery Space for photo exhibit LACONIA — The Gallery Space will host an opening reception of photographer, Joanna DeCesare on Thursday, July 18 from 4:30-7 p.m. at 23 Canal Street in Downtown Laconia. This event is an example of Downtown businesses coordinating with the Laconia Main Street Marketplace located just around the corner from this “meet the photographer” opening. The Gallery Space spotlights local talent through out the year and this exhibition will continue through mid-August. DeCesare said, “I am forever searching for that “once in a lifetime” photo and I’ve found photography a very interesting journey. I find myself up

and out the door before dawn looking for that incredible sunrise on some days, and standing in the middle of nowhere shooting the moon on another.” Her creative eye and her uplifting attitude toward life can be understood when she added, “I’ve been chasing eagles, hawks and owls, or photographing a single drop of water into a bowl to capture that one ripple. Weddings, children, or a sand pebble at the beach, are more subjects that I love.” DeCesare is a Laconia resident, member of the Lakes Region Camera Club and owner of the Hair Factory in Gilford.

GILMANTON — The First Congregational Society in Gilmanton will hold its next service on Sunday, July 21, at 4 p.m. at the Smith Meeting House on Meeting House Road, not July 14 as was incorrectly reported in a press release which ran in Saturday’s edition. The Reverend Sidney Lovett of Holderness, will officiate and Harriet Coupal is the organist. Refreshments will be served after the service in the meeting room downstairs which is naturally air conditioned and there is plenty of parking. The Smith Meeting House is the oldest church in

Gilmanton and is named in honor of the first minister to serve there, Reverend Isaac Smith. The First Congregational Society was formed in 1774 and maintains the Smith Meeting House and all four buildings on the grounds which are on the National Register of Historic Places. Restoration work has begun on the School House building, and two monuments between the church and the school were moved back to provide a larger space for tents and festivities. The proceeds from Old Home Day go towards maintaining these historic buildings and grounds.

Correction: Service at Smith Meeting House on Sunday

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

without dropping them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Older people tend to project an illusion of happiness onto younger people who may or may not feel that way. This moon helps you tune in to the truth of the matter, though, and reach out as needed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You love mischievous and playful people, but not dishonest people. The distinctions can get a bit murky. Don’t be afraid to clear them up, though, and sooner rather than later. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even when you are not among your true and sincere friends, you can still be yourself. In fact, that’s the best person to be to attract new true and sincere friends. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18). You prefer slow, steady change to jarring transformations this year and will get your wish. Because of this style, you’ll enjoy the unfolding of who you are becoming. Children figure into your professional and personal life in September. A savvy investment pays off in December. Libra and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 43, 11 and 16.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Work or school might feel like an albatross around your neck, but don’t despair: An unexpected encounter will remind you that you have wings of your own, and you’re just waiting for the right moment to take flight. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you’ve ever actually sung the blues, you know how the things that make you sad can be the very same things that lift your spirits once expressed. Try it. If you don’t sing, at least talk about what’s troubling you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your network of far-flung friends and relations maybe doesn’t feel exactly like a net, but rather more like an exhausting trap of obligations and duties. Let everyone know that you’re taking a well-deserved break. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t need to have a thrilling time to have a good time. You’ll be more reasonable than your friends in this regard. You have a charming way of projecting the voice of reason. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You hate to feel indebted to people. You’ll return favors, give gratitude and contribute big. But there’s a sense that you can’t get even with some people who always want to give you more. Perhaps because they need the upper hand? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You strive for a pure heart, clear mind and devout soul. It doesn’t always work out that way. On the bright side, vice in moderation can be a bonding agent between people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Pleasant surprises are still surprises, and today you’re just not in the mood to be startled in any way. Luckily, you will be able to control your environment to a large degree. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good fortune is the result of good planning. Of course, for a plan to work, you have to follow it, which you will with a few exceptions. Today you’re the perfect mix of being structured and in the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When it comes to the daily dance of juggling work and family, you’ve often felt as if you have two left feet and a bad case of vertigo. But others only see how well you can spin those plates

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, July 18, the 199th day of 2013. There are 166 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 18, 1863, during the Civil War, Union troops spearheaded by the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, made up of black soldiers, charged Confederate-held Fort Wagner on Morris Island, S.C. The Confederates were able to repel the Northerners, who suffered heavy losses; the 54th’s commander, Col. Robert Gould Shaw, was among those who were killed. On this date: In A.D. 64, the Great Fire of Rome began. In 1536, the English Parliament passed an act declaring the authority of the pope void in England. In 1792, American naval hero John Paul Jones died in Paris at age 45. In 1872, Britain enacted voting by secret ballot. In 1913, comedian Red Skelton was born in Vincennes, Ind. In 1932, the United States and Canada signed a treaty to develop the St. Lawrence Seaway. In 1940, the Democratic National Convention at Chicago Stadium nominated President Franklin D. Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term in office. In 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed a Presidential Succession Act, which placed the speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tempore next in the line of succession after the vice president. In 1969, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha’s Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne (kohPEHK’-nee), 28; some time later, Kennedy’s car went off a bridge into the water. (Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned.) In 1976, at the Montreal Olympics, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci received the first-ever perfect score of 10 with her routine on uneven parallel bars. (Comaneci would go on to receive six more 10s at Montreal.) In 1984, gunman James Huberty opened fire at a McDonald’s fast food restaurant in San Ysidro, Calif., killing 21 people before being shot dead by police. Walter F. Mondale won the Democratic presidential nomination in San Francisco. In 1988, Texas Treasurer Ann Richards, delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, skewered presumed Republican nominee George H.W. Bush as having been “born with a silver foot in his mouth.” Ten years ago: Basketball star Kobe Bryant was charged with sexually assaulting a 19-yearold woman at a Colorado spa; Bryant denied the charge, saying he was guilty only of adultery. (Prosecutors later dropped the case.) Five years ago: One of the world’s largest mobile cranes collapsed at a refinery in southeast Houston, killing four people and injuring seven others. The epic Batman sequel “The Dark Knight,” starring Christian Bale as the caped crusader and Heath Ledger as the Joker, premiered. One year ago: Rebels penetrated the heart of Syria’s power elite, detonating a bomb inside a high-level crisis meeting in Damascus that killed three leaders of the regime, including President Bashar Assad’s brother-in-law and the defense minister.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My daughter, “Elizabeth,” is a professional who is married to an older man. I’ll call him “Jacob.” They have two children. Elizabeth recently was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is going through intense chemotherapy. Early in her treatment, Jacob used to help a lot around the house with laundry and meals, and took good care of the kids. But she is halfway through her treatments, and although Jacob still looks after Elizabeth and the children, he expects her to do a lot more around the house. Of course, as soon as Elizabeth feels a little strong, she goes beyond her capacity and does too much. This aggravates me. Elizabeth never demands that Jacob help more. I had an argument with him over it. On the day of one of her treatments, I reminded him to be home in time to pick up the oldest child from school. He replied, “I will see when I will be finished at my mother’s.” I told him that on the day of the chemo, he cannot leave his wife alone with two children, supper and homework time. It is very tiring for her. He said he does not need to be reminded. Then we got into an argument, and he said we do not love him, we only do things for our daughter, and we are lucky he does not close the door in our faces. Annie, I worry about Elizabeth’s strength. We help as much as we can by cooking some meals, picking up the oldest from school, helping him with homework and taking the youngest so Elizabeth can rest. But Jacob allows her to do the laundry, cooking and shopping while he cuts the bushes, cleans the gutters and prays (he is very religious). She is not going to get well if she is exhausted. My sweet daughter always takes her husband’s side, and my husband tells me to look after my own health, because I had a mild heart attack a few months ago. How do we han-

dle this? -- Distraught Mother Dear Distraught: We know you want Jacob to take over all of these chores, and we agree that he should do more on the days when Elizabeth has her chemo. But try to be more compassionate. Jacob is going through a difficult period, too, and also needs a break. Please do what you can for your daughter’s family. It is a great help when you can cook a meal or take the kids. If you can afford to hire someone to assist on the days when Elizabeth has a chemo treatment, that would be an amazing gift. Otherwise, please back off a bit. You are not helping yourself or your daughter by getting into fights with her husband and adding stress to her life. Dear Annie: “Iowa” wrote to say that her mother suggested she put down her 13-year-old cat because he has diabetes. She was upset that Mom was so negative. But Mom may be wiser than you think. I cared for my 18-year-old diabetic cat, who needed insulin shots daily. While the shots are easy to administer, the main problem is having to schedule your entire life around those injections. If “Iowa” is still in school, has a boyfriend and perhaps a part-time job and a busy social calendar, she might discover the responsibility of daily shots at regular times is a lot to incorporate. I was unable to accept a job that required irregular shifts and had to forgo summer vacations that involved being out of town unless I could take my cat with me. Because I made significant sacrifices for my cat, she enjoyed a good quality of life for five years. But the commitment is far more than just poking the cat with a needle. It is a major responsibility she cannot shirk when something more interesting comes up. -- Lifetime Cat Lover
