City Council votes to put $382k into downtown ‘gateway’ project LACONIA —The City Council last night unanimously agreed to invest as much as $382,500 in cosmetic improvements at the Main Street bridge over the Winnipesaukee River after refusing to fully fund the construction of the “Gateway Plaza”

recommended by the Advisory Board of the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, which came with an estimated price tag of between $417,540 and $486,032.

At the same time, the council deferred a

decision on a half-dozen other projects recommended by the Advisory Board, including stretches of the Riverwalk and WOW Trail, with an estimated cost of $1.3-million, to a future meeting. see GATEWAY page 10

It’s a boy! UK’s Kate ‘Rifleman’ Flemmi testifies he watched as gives birth to royal heir ‘Whitey’ Bulger strangled his stepdaughter LONDON (AP) — Champagne bottles popped and shouts of “Hip! Hip! Hooray!” erupted at Buckingham Palace on Monday as Britain welcomed the birth of Prince William and his wife Kate’s first child, a boy who is now third in line to the British throne.

Hundreds of Britons and tourists broke into song and dance outside the palace as officials announced that the future king was born at 4:24 p.m., weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces, at central London’s St. Mary’s Hospital — the same place where William and his brother Harry were born three decades ago.

The imminent arrival of the royal baby was the subject of endless speculation on social media and was covered for days on live television around the world, but in the end the royal family managed to keep it a remarkably private affair.

In line with royal tradition, a terse statement announced only the time of birth, the infant’s gender and that mother and child were doing well. It gave no information about the baby’s name, and officials would say only that a name would be announced “in due course.”

“Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight,” it said.

William also issued a brief statement, saying “we could not be happier.”

Officials said William, who was by his wife’s side during the birth, would also spend the night in the hospital.

William’s press aides had talked about preserving Kate’s “dignity” throughout the pregnancy, and the way the birth was handled showed that the palace’s impressive stagecraft could give the royals a bubble of privacy even in the age of Twitter and 24-hour news broadcasts.

Just before 6 a.m., 31-year-old Kate, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, entered the hospital through a side door, avoiding the mass of journalists camped outside. Officials did not announce she was hospitalized until more than an hour later.

Later, as the world media gathered outside filled hours of airtime with speculation, the baby’s birth went unannounced for nearly four hours, allowing the royal couple the private time they needed to act like a regular family — a goal 31-year-old William has cherished. see BOY page 8 Meredith Cinema Meredith Shopping Ctr. • 279-7836 www.barnzs.com Tuesday (7/23) - Thursday (7-25)

Make your event something to remember...

BOSTON (AP) — Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, the former partner of reputed gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, testified Monday that he watched as Bulger strangled Flemmi’s stepdaughter, a woman who had called him “Daddy” since she was a toddler.

Flemmi, testifying during Bulger’s racketeering trial, said Bulger killed Deborah Hussey because she was using drugs, getting arrested and dropping their names when she got in trouble.

Under cross-examination, Flemmi denied a suggestion from Bulger’s lawyer that he, not Bulger, killed Hussey. But Flemmi also acknowledged that he twice had oral sex with Hussey in what he called “a moment of weakness.”

Bulger, 83, is accused of participating in 19 killings during the 1970s and ‘80s while leading the

notorious Winter Hill Gang. He fled Boston in 1994 and was one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives until he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., two years ago.

Flemmi, 79, pleaded guilty to 10 murders and is serving a life sentence. Monday was his third day on the stand, and his cross-examination began near the end of the day’s court session.

When Bulger attorney Hank Brennan initially asked Flemmi about whether he had a sexual relationship with Hussey, Flemmi asked him to clarify whether he was talking about intercourse or oral sex.

He then acknowledged having oral sex with her twice.

“I never inflicted any abuse on her; that was consensual,” Flemmi said, prompting murmurs from family members of some of Bulger’s alleged victims see BULGER page 12

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man possibly influenced by a serial killer was charged Monday with aggravated murder after three bodies wrapped in trash bags were found in suburban Cleveland.

A call to police Friday led authorities to a home and a standoff with the man, who was eventually taken into custody, East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton said.

Michael Madison, 35, was charged with three counts each of aggravated murder and kidnapping.

He didn’t enter a plea at a brief court appearance where bail was set at $6 million. He also waived his

right to a preliminary hearing.

Police and volunteers scoured about 40 empty homes Sunday until their search was suspended, with no immediate plans to resume.

Authorities said they had identified only one of the victims, Angela Deskins, who was believed to be 38 years old. The other two bodies were too badly decomposed to identify. The medical examiner also said he couldn’t determine at this time a cause of death because of the bodies’ conditions.

Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Thomas Gilson said fingerprints, dental records and DNA see BODIES page 9

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Frenzied crowds of Roman Catholics mobbed the car carrying Pope Francis on Monday when he returned to his home continent for the first time as pontiff, embarking on a seven-day visit meant to fan the fervor of the faithful around the globe.

During his first minutes in Brazil, ecstatic believers swarmed around the closed Fiat several times when it was forced to stop by heavy traffic on the drive from the airport to an official ceremony in Rio’s

center. A few security guards struggled mightily to push the crowd back in scenes that at times looked alarming. Church and city officials said the pope’s driver turned into the wrong part of a boulevard and missed lanes that had been cleared.

Francis looked calm during the frenzy. He rolled down the window on the back passenger-side of the car where he was sitting, waving to the crowd and touching those who reached inside. At one point, see POPE page 11

What is a Local Antibiotic?

Has your dentist or hygienist suggested that you might benefit from the use of a locally administered antibiotic? This is also described as a “localized chemotherapeutic agent”. If so, you have an infection n your mouth involving some kind of gum disease. When the infection travels beneath the gum line, gaps occur between the gums and teeth. These gaps are called “pockets”. The lower the number assigned to a pocket depth, the better. If your dentist or hygienist has measured any of your teeth with a pocket depth of 4 or greater, you have problems.

Treatment of localized problem areas may involve a time release antibiotic placed in the infected pocket. Two “brand names” that you may hear your dentist or hygienist mention are Atridox and Arestin (there are others, too). The medicine releases slowly over a few days. It fights the infection well in the short run, but it does not cure the problem forever. If you have gum disease, you may also need other kinds of treatment, and your dentist or periodontist will be glad to discuss treatment options with you. A healthy mouth (and gums) is vital to our overall health.

Weirs deck that collapsed on Saturday, injuring a dozen, was just 10 years old

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — Records from the city Planning Department show the wooden deck that collapsed at 17 Simpson Ave. Saturday afternoon with about a dozen people on board was built in late 2003.

The permit was issued for the 10-foot by 22-foot deck on December 8,2003 after a December 4 approval by the code enforcement officer. The deck plans included a sliding glass door to the main portion of the house and a set of stairs to access it. The house, according to tax records, was built in 1880.

Deputy Fire Chief Deb Pendergast said yesterday the wooden deck appeared to have separated from the building and collapsed in the middle, sending people crashing into each other as the structure fell.

She said it was about eight feet off the ground.

Seven were taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital, including one child.

Ambulances from Laconia, Gilford, and Meredith EMS responded to the collapse. Injuries varied from compound fractures to bruising and at least one head injury however Pendergast said none of the injuries appear life-threatening.

According to Pendergast there were about 12 people on the deck when it collapsed at 5:37 p.m.

Saturday. She said there was a grill and people were

on the deck cooking but she was unsure if any of the victims were burned.

She said one of the people who was at the home is a firefighter/paramedic who is employed in Maine and he was able to assist the people who fell and determine who was the most seriously injured while ambulances and local emergency personnel were responding.

Pendergast does not know if the Maine firefighter was among those who were on the deck went it buckled.

She said firefighters needed to back ambulances down Simpson Avenue one at a time in order to load the victims. She said Simpson Avenue is part of the private Methodist Circle portion of the Weirs which is accessible from Centenary Avenue.

She said fire engines were unable to get to the property that is at the end of Simpson Avenue and right on the water.

Tax records indicate the house is owned by Patricia Marchetti of Shirley, Massachusetts who purchased it in 2007. She is the second person to own the home since the deck was added.

She said the city code enforcement officer is investigating the collapse and the N.H. Fire Marshals Office has been notified. She said the fire marshal is told about all partial building collapses.

LACONIA — Begun in Laconia nearly 50 years ago, Aavid Thermalloy corporation recently announced that it has returned its corporate headquarters and design center to the City on the Lakes from Concord. Aavid provides thermal management solutions to the electronics industry for a wide range of applications.

Appearing before the City Council last night, Norm Soucy, vice-president and general manager of the global transportation and industrial systems division, told the councilors “we are proud to call Laconia home.” he said that the firm has invested renovating space at its 200,000-square foot facility at the O’Shea Industrial Park to bring its design team alongside its manufacturing operations as well as provide a home for its executive , administrative and sales offices.

Soucy said that the firm is working with both the Huot Regional Technical Education Center at Laconia High School and Lakes Region Community College to foster opportunities for young men and women for in advanced manufacturing. “We are investing in Laconia,” he said.

Brian Byrne, chief financial officer, echoed “we are a member of your community.”

The City Council welcomed the move and those attending the meeting openly applauded the announcement.

Last December Aavid was acquired by Audax Private Equity of Boston from Nautic Partners, LLC of Providence, Rhode Island, another private equity firm which a year earlier backed the management buyout of Aavid.

The terms of the transactions were not disclosed.

Man who died in bicycle accident on treacherous Mechanic Street hill recalled as guy who liked to make people laugh

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A bicycle crash on Mechanic Street killed a local man just before midnight Saturday near Sanborn Park said Police Chief Christopher Adams He said it appeared Anthony White, 27, was headed down the hill toward Clinton Street when he apparently lost control of his bicycle and crash landed.

He said a woman called police and responding officers found White lying in the street. He was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital by ambulance and flown to Maine Medical Center with severe injuries.

He died at 4:32 a.m.

Adams said police investigated and determined it was accidental. He said alcohol may have been a contributing factor.

Little is known about White but some posthumous postings on his friends’ Facebook pages indicate he was a person who was fun to be around and who loved to laugh and make others laugh.

He had worked security at Benders 3-ring Saloon (the tent next to Heat restaurant at the Weirs) during the past two motorcycle weeks and his supervisor said he was “just a really

good kid.”

She said he could be “goofy and silly” at times but would go out of his way to make somebody laugh if the thought they down.

“He was known to go off on tangents just to make people smile,” she said.

Mechanic Street runs parallel to Union Avenue and is noted for a steep decline when headed from Stark Street toward Clinton Street. Adams said it appeared White was at the bottom of the hill when he crashed.

While the actual cause of White’s crash may never be known, he was alone at the time and his friends said he lived nearby.

“It’s in terrible shape,” said Public Works Director Paul Moynahan noting Mechanic it one of two streets, the other is Belvedere Street, in the city that will be completely redone this summer. “It’s been on our schedule for a number of years.”

Moynihan said construction will begin in mid-August and is expected to last two months. He said the pavement will be reclaimed after some sewer and water upgrades in the stretch that runs from Stark Street to Clinton Street.

Veteran’s earned benefits There are over 115,000 veterans living in New Hampshire. The federal government has many programs that address their issues and needs. Some of them deal with pension benefits, and a large number of them address a variety of medical issues including, the affects of Agent Orange on Viet Nam veterans, asbestos related mesothelioma, ionizing radiation on Atomic Vets, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), etc . What follows are some highlights of benefit programs that may be available to you, or someone you know. Resources will be included so that the reader may have a contact and telephone number if they think they may be eligible for one of the programs. Please be aware that what follows is not an end all, it is a bit of information that can put a person in touch with the appropriate resource.

Veteran’s pensions — Normally, veteran’s believe that they must have served 20 or more years to qualify for a veteran’s pension. In most cases that is true, but, depending on the veteran’s income and when he/she was in the service, it may be possible to receive a monthly pension.

These pensions are non taxable and are available to veterans who were on active duty for a period of 90 days or more, with at least one day being during a time of war. (Those periods are from Dec. 7, 1941 through Dec. 31, 1946, (WWII), from June 27, 1950 through Jan. 31, 1955, (Korea), and from Aug. 5, 1964* through May 7, 1975, (VietNam era). (* Feb. 28, 1961 for those who served in the Republic of Viet Nam.) If the veteran’s annual income is $29,402 or less ($35,284 if married), and if the veteran served during time of war (not necessarily in combat), he/ she may be eligible for a pension. If qualified, the surviving spouse may also continue to receive a pension.

There is also the potential to receive additional pension money for what is called “aid and attendance”, when the person is essentially home bound, or resides in a nursing home. The veteran’s surviving spouse is also eligible for these benefits, but at a reduced amount.

Veteran’s health care — Most veteran’s understand that service related injuries or illnesses may qualify them for VA medical care.

However, there are also cases where medical care can be provided to veterans, even for non service related medical problems. The VA has a number of “priority classifications” and each person who qualifies for medical care is assigned a priority

number. The level of priority dictates the level of care that can be provided.

Some veteran’s may be eligible for complete health care services, including surgery, hospitalization, medicines, hearing aids, etc. Others may qualify for less complete coverage but still qualify for medicines and other services. If you think you may qualify for any of these services, you may contact the local VA Service Officer (603-524-3960) or LRGHealthcare’s Vet Link manager (603-524-3211) for guidance.

The Veteran’s Home in Tilton is an excellent residential facility that serves veterans with varying needs, including dementia and alzheimer’s disease. The care provided has been highly praised by residents and families of those in the home.

It is always filled to capacity and (caregivers or) those who think they may need the care the home offers, should consider filing an application to see if they qualify so that they can be put on the waiting list for admission. (603-527-4400) Burial service benefits — All veterans are entitled to burial service benefits that include an honor guard at the time of burial, including taps being played, and an American flag being draped on the veteran’s coffin and then folded properly and being presented to the surviving spouse or child. A modest sum is also paid by the VA to help defray the cost of the burial. It is a standard arrangement for the honor guard requests to be handled by the funeral director — just make sure to request it.

There is a beautiful veteran’s cemetery and chapel in Boscowan that is available for veterans and their spouses to be interred. (Boscowan Veteran’s Cemetery 603-796-2026) While there is no veteran’s hospital in New Hampshire, there are facilities in Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont. In some cases, local hospitals are certified and may serve veterans who qualify for medical care, but prior approval is needed before entering a non-VA facility. Questions in this regard can be directed to the VA Service Officer (603-524-3960) or the LRGH Vet Link manager (603-524-3211).

The Director of the State Veterans Council is located at 275 Chestnut St. in Manchester (03101-2411).

The telephone number is 603-6249230 or, toll free at 800-622-9230.

If the veteran, spouse, or caregiver has any questions not noted in the above information, they can direct their inquiry to the council.

LETTERS Everyone is simply doing his or her job; draw your own conclusions To The Daily Sun, Headline writers have a job to do and that is to grab readers’ attention.

Those who write headlines for the Laconia Daily Sun usually accomplish that goal.

But often, as was the case last week, the headlines miss the true story. The context in which Commissioner Philpot made his comments about the Belknap County Convention was part of a conversation in which he was discussing, at a public meeting with fellow Democrats, the damage being done to the relationship finally achieved between the commissioners and county employees. He contended that the votes taken and the views expressed by some members of the Belknap County Convention were doing “bad things” to the county in terms of undermining trust and interfering with employee-employer agreements. In fact, Commissioner Philpot apologized at the time for his characterization of those members while at the same time applauding the work of his fellow commissioners, who are recognized as members of the Republican party.

It is Commissioner Philpot’s view, shared by many in Belknap County, that the majority votes taken by the convention are not in the best inter-

ests of this County. He chose to express that view during an open meeting covered by the press.

It is instructive to see how different papers report the same event. The Laconia Citizen’s headline, “County Democrats Look to 2014 Elections”, tells a different story. But doesn’t the Sun’s headline compel readership?

Everyone is simply doing his or her job here. Commissioner Philpot was issuing a warning based on his perception of the machinations of county government. The reporters were covering the story and trying to get people to read their version. The GOP chairman was defending his constituency; those who look at the issues through a different lens.

Isn’t that what is great about a free press and a free society? Now it is up to each and every one of us to come to our own conclusions and act accordingly based on the information we have learned.

I thank everyone involved for taking an active role in this lively and informative debate.

Kate Miller, Chair Belknap Co. Democratic Committee Meredith

Bottom line: Philpot & colleagues asked for a 9% hike in county taxes To The Daily Sun: The power struggle continues between the commissioners and the Belknap County Convention. On Friday, Mr. Philpot (commissioner for Sanbornton, New Hampton, Laconia) defended the work of the commission for budgeting responsibly without tax increases.

This is flagrantly inaccurate.

The budget process: appropriations less projected revenues (including draw down on the fund balance) equals taxes to be Raised. The commissioners presented their Proposed FY 13 Budget to the Convention with a NINE percent increase in taxes to be raised!

Mr. Philpot, you can state now whatever you want but that doesn’t change what you handed over to the convention — and I am sure every one of the 18 state reps remembers — that NINE percent increase in taxes to be raised.

When State Rep. Frank Tilton from Laconia, which has a tax cap, ques-

tioned you on why you significantly reduced the use of the fund balance for FY 13, your answer was “we can increase it by a million dollars. We can have that discussion.”

It was your responsibility to hand over a proposed budget that could be reviewed and approved by the convention, not one that could be discussed.

This wasn’t a collective bargaining agreement. Had you applied better judgment on that proposed budget submission, the taxes to be raised would have been minimal and the budget probably would have sailed through the process to completion.

Many of the state representatives were newly elected and were facing a NINE percent increase in taxes as the first decision they had to make.

It’s easy to see the resistance that you encountered. You created the rift, not the “bad people” you spoke of on last week.

LETTERS Philpot should reconsider his position on failed U.S. drug policy

All I could think to say after seeing ‘Les Miserables’ was ‘WOW’

To The Daily Sun, As Commissioner Ed Philpot’s opponent during the election, I am disappointed in his comments about the Belknap County Republican Delegation. He called them bad people that want to destroy government. During the election we both prided ourselves on running a clean campaign, an example of how politics should be. I have had many good conversations with him and I know there are many issues that unite us. If Ed Philpot is the person I think he is, he probably now regrets saying what he said.

To set the record straight, I am one of those small-government Republicans that he referred to as bad. I am also one of those people at the tip of a spear he talked about. I have been doing my best to promote the truth about bad policies that hurt people and drive away jobs.

Ed Philpot needs to remember that good people can disagree.

I became a Republican last year, just prior to filing time for the 2012 election. As an Independent that served as the Belknap County Co-Chairman for the Ron Paul campaign, the Belknap County Republicans welcomed me with open arms. The Belknap County Republican party is not made up of mean, bad people who want to destroy government. What unites all Republicans is that we want policies that promote fiscal responsibility and job growth so all citizens can enjoy economic prosperity. We also believe in the rule of law and that the role of government is to protect our rights, not limit them. Big government politicians believe the reason why the middle class is shrinking and ranks of the poor are growing is because government is not growing fast enough. We have been riding this train for decades and it is not working and now we are on the road to serfdom with a growing 17 trillion dollar deficit.

Ed Philpot is also upset that his new county jail will not happen and considers people that opposed it as bad.

To The Daily Sun, “Wow”! I just kept saying it after seeing “Les Miserables” at the Interlakes Theater. I have to admit, knowing the difficulty of this musical and having seen it on Broadway, my expectations were for simply an average to good performance of one of our favorite shows. However this cast just blew me away! Every single voice was right on and the acting totally captured the raw emotion necessary for

I believe he wants to help people, just as I do, but we have a disagreement on which path to take. I have worked hard behind the scenes against the new county jail by voicing my opinion to state representatives, writing letters to the editor and presenting my argument on talk radio. The war on drugs is a complete failure and the new 42 million dollar county jail will not conquer it, but instead perpetuate it. Every year is worse than the next no matter how many police officers we hire or prisons we build. We now incarcerate five times as many people before the so called war on drugs started, which equates to 25 percent of the world’s prison population.

The current war on drugs does not help people, but can destroy them and sentence them to a life of poverty and government dependency. People convicted of a felony drug crime may never earn a living wage and will most likely require government assistance for the rest of their life. This explains why our infrastructure is crumbling. All our money is spent on locking people up and supporting felons that cannot find a job, instead of fixing our bridges and roads. These people need a job, not a jail cell.

Ed Philpot and I are both the same age. We both went to college before the war on drugs started. We probably both know people who did some really stupid things but found success without help from the government or cost to the taxpayer. Ed Philpot should reconsider his position on the current failed drug policy that is bankrupting the nation. Our resources should be spent on drug treatment and counseling, not prison cells and job destroying felony drug convictions. The end result of the current war on drugs is angry young people with no future, thus perpetuating drug abuse and crime. A felony conviction and a welfare check for life is not the American dream these people hoped for.

Time for Philpot to resign & have replacement look for common ground To The Daily Sun, Belknap County Commissioner Ed Philpot obviously feels that he has so much power he can make unfounded accusations against his Republican colleagues just because they stand in direct opposition to his Democrat agenda and goals. For him to describe the Republican leadership for the Belknap County Delegation as “bad people looking to do bad things” not only sounds childish but is a character assassination of the delegation — which is always in the Democrats playbook when they can’t seem to accomplish their agenda with healthy means of communication. Disqualify the enemy (Republicans) so that people will believe the accusations.

Commissioner Philpot obviously

believes he can use his level of power to attack the integrity of the Republican delegation. His negative and unfounded accusations are more of a reflection of who Mr. Philpot is and the Democrat Party and how he is failing to lead his own party. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” When someone of power such as Ed Philpot degrades others and makes unfounded accusations based on his own personal agenda, perceptions and beliefs it is time for such a person to resign and allow someone who can articulate the argument and bring common ground to both parties to take his place.

Happy 250th Birthday to the Town of Plymouth, New Hamshire To The Daily Sun, This past weekend, the Town of Plymouth hosted many events and activities to celebrate its 250th birthday — and it was an over-the-top celebration. Plymouth, and its people, are a perfect example of small town America and what makes New Hampshire such a great place to live, work,

and play.

I was honored to present a Senate Resolution and N.H. state flag flown over the Statehouse in recognition of this historic occasion. Happy 250th birthday Plymouth!

Senator Jeanie Forrester N.H. State Senate, District 2 Meredith

a superb performance which riveted the audience. Even the costumes were phenomenal. Hats off to all involved with this wonderful production. Russell Crowe should have taken lessons from this Javert! All were outstanding and no one should miss an opportunity to see this show.

Sometimes it’s great to be wrong.

LETTERS What happened to presentation about a $21 million county jail?

To The Daily Sun, Having served as a member of the Belknap County Delegation from 2008-2012, I had the opportunity to attend the jail presentation with six other members during my terms.

At that presentation, we saw a PowerPoint presentation and were given an information packet that indicated the new jail could cost anywhere from $21 million dollars to $43 million dollars. It was up to the jail committee, the commissioners, and the delegation to develop the needs. The current committee is continuing our work to, hopefully, make the right choices.

During that presentation, I commented that I would not favor an elaborate MGM Grand Hotel concept,

but preferred a simple, basic, functional Motel 6 concept. My intent was to move the project into something the county’s taxpayers could afford.

Three of the attendees are still on the delegation. It surprises me that they have not brought this presentation to the delegation’s attention.

I have mentioned this to individual members, but none have seen the packet or been informed about the presentation.

In closing, we are not “bad people”, we are just looking to get the most for your, the taxpayer’s, money and to provide a safe environment for both the staff and the inmates.

If my uncle was rocket scientist that also makes me an expert?

To The Daily Sun, Although I do write letters to the editor on occasion in response to one that is soft on facts, I try not to get involved in a give and take with any one person. I’m going to make an exception to that today.

Ms. Bernadette Loesch wrote in response to my query of whether or not she knew the difference between a jail and a prison the following; “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.”

Again, I’m going to use a quote from Hillary Clinton when being questioned about the Benghazi murders of our diplomat and three Navy Seals: “What difference does it make?”

According to Ms. Loesch’s way of thinking if my uncle was a rocket scientist that would also make me an expert on rocket science. Again an evasive answer from the left. What a joke!

Thanks to Moultonborough Fire for saving out 110 slip marina To The Daily Sun, As president of the Quayside Yacht Club and on behalf of its board of directors and club members I would like to sincerely thank Fire Chief David Bengtson and the Moultonborough firefighters for saving our 110 slip marina. I would also like to thank the fire boat crews from Tuftonboro, Meredith, and Gilford who responded and assisted in the fire. To the unnamed Moultonborough police officer who certainly helped to save the marina by moving an adjacent boat — we are extremely grateful.

These firefighters worked under extreme and dangerous conditions.

One boat had approximately 200 gallons of gasoline on board that blew

up and access to the dock area was limited. This particular section of our marina is called the back dock and is a long way from the dry hydrant.

The Yacht Club would also like to thank the Moultonborough Fire Department for working with us in placing fire extinguishers in different locations throughout the marina and for helping us procure and train on an ALS life support automatic defibrillator.

Thank you, Moultonborough Fire Department, for always being there whenever we needed your assistance or advice on anything having to do with safety.

Dave Nickerson Sanbornton President, Quayside Yacht Club

‘Les Mis’ runs through July 28 in Meredith & is not to be missed To The Daily Sun, “Les Miserables” at the Interlakes Theatre is a wonderful production and as close to Broadway as one can get in Meredith. Go for the incredible singing voices of the entire cast, they are so good that it is difficult to single one actor out, go for the creative set design that is so innovative that it is hard to believe it is on a high school stage, go and see this professional theatre company in its best production this

season. It you need one more reason, take pride that Meredith native, Ashley Landroche, now a professional actress brings a different level of emotion to the song “I Dreamed a Dream” than one has heard before.

Congratulations to the cast and to the producer Nancy Barry and director Michael McKelvey. Les Mis runs thru July 28 and should not be missed.

Obama is going to start another civil war, 1 ethnic group v. another To The Daily Sun, By the end of the current term Obama, Holder, et al; will have set this country back 60 years. In the end of the 50s and early 60s, as I served in the U.S. Navy, our flight squadron and 11-person flight crews we had whites, blacks, Hispanics. . . all dominations. We worked and went on lib-

erty together. We watched each others back. This administration and backers are going to start another war in this country, not North vs. South, but ethnic groups against each other. It is not bad enough that we have to look out for terrorists.

Judge agrees with Tardif & Gammon that Belknap Convention violated Right-to-Know law by electing officers with secret ballots

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA —Justice Timothy Vaughan of Grafton County Superior Court has ruled that as Tom Tardif and Dave Gammon charged, the Belknap County Convention violated the state’s “Right-to-Know” law by electing its officers by secret ballot late last year, but because it corrected its error the judge declined to order further action.

When the convention convened on December 10, 2012, Representative Don Flanders (R-Laconia), the acting chairman, told the members that Karen Wadsworth, clerk of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, advised him that the election could be conducted by secret ballot on the strength of an opinion of the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The featured attraction was a race for the chairmanship between Rep. Colette Worsman of Meredith and Rep. Frank Tilton of Laconia, both Republicans, which Worsman won without any of the representatives having to make their choice public.

In February Tardif and Gammon filed suit. A month later the convention re-elected its officers by a public roll call vote and in April “reaffirmed” the results with yet another vote. Tilton did not again challenge Worsman for the

chairmanship on either occasion.

Vaughan agreed that the convention “directly violated” RSA 91-A:2, II, which prescribes that all meetings of a public body shall be open to the public and that “no vote while in open session may be taken by secret ballot.”

Noting that the convention “realized their error” and held a second election, which with only one exception mirrored the outcome of the first, Vaughan held that to strike the election and order another “would be an exercise in futility and a further waste of resources”.

Likewise,the justice found no evidence that the convention acted in bad faith a and declined to impose civil penalties or order that its members undergo remedial training in the law.

However, Vaughan ruled that because the convention did not conduct a proper election until Tardif and Gammon filed suit, their action was required to ensure compliance with the “Right-to-Know” law and consequently, they were entitled to the cost of bringing the litigation. Since Tardif and Gammon represented themselves, their costs consist of filing fees.

Attorney Paul Fitzgerald, who represented the convention, said that Justice James D. O’Neill, III of Belknap County Superior Court recused himself, which may explain why the case was heard in Grafton County.

Tilton mother & son arrested on drug charges

TILTON — A mother and son are both charged with drugs offenses after a police investigation that culminated in a July 18 search warrant.

Adam Lapierre, 24, is charged with possession of heroin and his mother,

Debra Lapierre, 57, is charged with possession of marijuana.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges could be forthcoming.

bouquets in front of the palace, while others waved Union Jack flags and partied on the streets to celebrate.

“It’s a crazy atmosphere. Everyone is getting very excited,” said Andrew Aitchison. “It’s great to be part of history, to say we were here and saw it all happen.”

Charles and his wife, Camilla, spoke of their joy and pride in becoming grandparents for the first time.

“It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy,” Prince Charles said in a statement. “Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time, and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future.”

It could be some time before the baby’s name is made public. When William was born, a week passed before his name was announced.

Charles’ name remained a mystery for an entire month.

The royal birth at St. Mary’s Hospital recalled that of the baby’s father, William, in 1982. Many remember the moment when he was carried out in Princess Diana’s arms with proud father Prince Charles at their side.

He was able to tell his father, Prince Charles, and grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, about the birth and enjoy his wife’s company without having to cope with the overwhelming media and public desire for information.

By nightfall, the public still knew very few details, but most people seemed satisfied with the day’s events. London’s landmarks, including the London Eye, lit up in the national colors of red, white and blue, and the city had a party atmosphere unmatched since last summer’s Olympics.

Outside the hospital, a man dressed as a town crier in traditional robes and an extravagant feathered hat shouted the news and rang a bell.

A car carrying the announcement drove from the hospital to the palace, where the news was greeted with shrieks of “It’s a boy!” and strains of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” A large crowd rushed against the palace fences to catch a glimpse of an ornate, gilded easel displaying a small bulletin formally announcing the news.

The framed sheet of paper became the target of a thousand camera flashes as people thrust their smartphones through the railings. Hours after the initial announcement, crowds were still surging forward to get near the easel. Some placed presents and

Family of Plymouth man murdered 2 years ago offers $10,000 reward PLYMOUTH — With his September 8, 2011 murder still unsolved. the family of John Labbe yesterday announced it is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the person or persons responsible for the crime.

Labbe’s body was found inside his workshop at 761 Texas Hill Road.

He was 43 and his death was ruled a homicide as a result of gunshot wounds.

N.H. Police Colonel Robert L. Quinn and Plymouth Police Chief Stephen Lefebvre released a joint statement indicating they continue to actively investigate the case, including following-up on numerous leads tips.

Anyone who may have knowledge of any circumstances about Labbe’s death is urged to contact the State Police Major Crime Unite at 223-8826 or 223-3856.

Labbe had been in the news within a year or so of his death. In May 2010, the Colebrook native filed a civil lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Manchester and John Labbe the Missionary (Courtesy photo) Oblates of Mary Immaculate alleging multiple incidents of child sexual assault by Father George St. Jean over the course of a four year period in the 1960s, when he was serving as an alter boy at St. Brendan’s Catholic Church. St. Jean died in 1982.

There has never been any public connection made between the lawsuit and his murder.

BODIES from page 2 genetic material would be used to try to identify the other two victims. One had numerous tattoos, including the left thumb, left forearm, left thigh and left breast.

At some point, Gilson said, his office might seek DNA samples from relatives of missing women who might be victims.

Ali Bilal, 31, of East Cleveland, sitting in the neighborhood where the bodies were found, said he knew Deskins casually and called her friendly and nice to be around.

“I knew her as a nice person. We spoke here and there, she used to come over and talk to my brother,” he said. “For the most part, she was a sweetheart, real nice conversation, pretty much a good person to talk to, good person to be around.”

He wasn’t familiar with her personal life.

The mayor has said the suspect

indicated he might have been influenced by the earlier case of a Cleveland serial killer convicted in the deaths of 11 women.

Norton thanked law enforcement agencies for their help. Without it, he said, “We might not have accomplished the apprehension of a suspect who we believe if left on the street just one day longer may have put the lives of others in danger.”

The first body was found in a garage Friday. Two others were found Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house. The bodies, all women, were found about 100 to 200 yards apart, and authorities say the victims were killed in the previous six to 10 days.

The charges read in court specified a wider time frame for the alleged crimes — days or months before the bodies were found. The mayor and police chief left a news conference without taking questions on the timing of the alleged crimes.

BURN from page one Ashley and Officer Kendra Neri arrived he stormed into his house.

After Ashley got a garden hose that was nearby and began dousing the fire, Swett allegedly continued being verbally combative and turned off the hose. He returned to his house.

As Ashley went to turn back on the water, Swett allegedly rushed toward him and when Neri tried to stop him he allegedly grabbed her arm and body.

Ashley zapped him with his stun gun and Shortt placed him in handcuffs who took him from the property to wait for an ambulance.

Swett was able to get one of his hands free from the cuffs and began fighting with Shortt. When the two went to the ground, Ashley deployed his pepper spray to get control of Swett.

He was treated for minor injuries,

including the removal of Taser prongs from his body, and exposure to oleo-resin capsicum — the actual name of what is referred to a pepper spray.

About four hours later, John W. Swett firefighters and (Laconia Police photo) police went to the home to completely extinguish the smoldering fire and to stand by while the victim removed her things from the home.

Swett refused bail and will appear in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning.

Ashley said neither Shortt nor Neri was injured.

PHILPOT from page one tee, immediately called on him to that he publicly acknowledge that his statements were “unprofessional, inflammatory and inappropriate” and apologize for them. Glassman suggested that the acknowledgement and apology were required for the commission and the convention to improve their strained relationship and “work together on such critical matters as the county budget and a county prison.”

Refusing to withdraw his remarks, Philpot replied to Glassman by e-mail yesterday, explaining that “prior to my statement, there was no progress toward any sort of discussion. Since I was not significant enough in the minds of the majority delegation to be even civil towards me,” he continued, “I cannot see how now I can stand as the only impediment to progress.”

Philpot agreed that cooperation is “an admirable goal,” then told Glassman “there has been no indication of any inclination on the part of the majority of the delegation that this is their goal. In fact,” he claimed,

“the commissioners were repeatedly denied the opportunity to speak with the delegation on critical issues, were subjected to name calling and accusations, and were generally ignored on substantive budget questions during the convention’s deliberative process despite repeated offers of additional information, cooperation and input on topics with which we were familiar.”

Likewise, Philpot said that while the commission has been working “quite publicly” on planning for the jail for the past four years, there has been “little participation” on the part of members of the delegation. He said that that since the current members of the convention were elected they have been invited to visit the jail “without any takers.” He said that “despite this lack of participation or even civil discourse, we, the commissioners, are faced with unfounded accusations and recriminations from delegation members who have never taken the time or effort to speak with us.”

Glassman said only that he had received Philpot’s e-mail and declined any further comment.

GATEWAY from page one In presenting the gateway project, Kevin Dunleavy, director of Rarks and recreation who chairs the Advisory Board, said that the reconstruction of the bridge, slated to begin next spring, offered “an opportunity to do a first class improvement” that would last 40 or 50 years. He said that since any improvements must be incorporated into the design of the bridge, which is scheduled to be put to bid in September, a decision was “time sensitive” and cautioned “we could lose our window.”

Dunleavy acknowledged that the Main Street Initiative group of business and property owners expressed opposition to the project “as pre-

sented,” but said that “we feel there is support beyond the Advisory Board, but cannot claim there is a consensus.”

Both councilors Bob Hamel (Ward 5) and Henry Lipman (Ward 3) questioned the board’s recommendation.

“It’s way more than I’d like to see spent there,” said Lipman, while Hamel said that $450,000 is a lot for a small area.”

Speaking as president of the Main Street Initiative, John Moriarty said that the organization deemed extending the downtown riverwalk along the north bank of the Winnipesaukee River its highest priority and, if necessary, was willing “to forego any improvements at Gateway Plaza.” see next page

POPE from page 2 a woman handed the pontiff a dark-haired baby, whom he kissed before handing it back.

After finally making it past crowds and blocked traffic, Francis switched to an open-air popemobile as he toured around the main streets in downtown Rio through mobs of people who screamed wildly as he waved and smiled. Many in the crowd looked stunned, with some standing still and others sobbing loudly.

Idaclea Rangel, a 73-year-old Catholic, was pressed up against a wall and choking out words through her tears. “I can’t travel to Rome, but he came here to make my country better ... and to deepen our faith,” she said.

Anti-government protesters clashed with police outside a welcoming ceremony for Francis, but the anger was directed at Brazilian leaders and not the from preceding page However, Bob Sawyer, representing downtown property owners who he said together pay “over six figures in annual property taxes,” described the space as “the face of downtown” and insisted “we do should do something.

At the airport earlier, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff vigorously shook Francis’ hand after he descended the stairs following a no-frills charter flight that arrived in late afternoon. The pope was handed two bouquets of white and yellow flowers by two adolescent girls, each of whom he kissed on the cheek.

Reaching the end of the red carpet full of church leaders and other dignitaries, Francis and the Brazilian president paused to be serenaded by a choir of about three dozen young people singing an anthem linked to World Youth Day, an event uniting hundreds of thousands of young faithful from around the globe. foreclose future improvements,” he said.

But, Hamel, persuaded by Sawyer, suggested spending another $250,000 and asked Dunleavy to instruct the architects and engineers to prepare a design to fit the budget.

Warren Clement, a member of the Advisory Board, proposed upping the ante to $300,000 and his fellow board member Ken Sawyer reminded the councilors that “this is one of those situations where you can’t go back and spending a little more now will save more later.”

I know this is not the most interesting topic; however, asking the right questions is critical if you want to successfully retire and get to the “promised land”. Let’s face it, a good Financial Advisor will ask the right questions and actually listen. “Discussion Priorities” should not be limited to just a few functional questions about money and insurance.

Let’s look at what some of these “Discussion Priorities” entail: • Financial Development entails designing a financial plan with your Advisor and this usually encompasses wealth accumulation, debt restructuring and finding better rates of returns.

Wealth development is a process and requires that you make smart choices with your money.

• Investment Strategy is, at best, very complicated and involved. Questions should be centered on investment planning, maximizing tax deferral, and balancing investment risk, in conjunction with a well thought out wealth development strategy.

• Estate Organization is important because you will want to have the proper Estate Planning in the event that something should happen. There will be legal and documented estate distribution on file. Having the proper beneficiary arrangements provides tax efficiencies and accurate estate transfer strategies.

• Lifestyle Protection. I think that this “Discussion Priority” is important because a financial security review encompasses income protection (Life Insurance, Disability Income Insurance) and property casualty insurance (Homeowners Insurance, Auto, etc.). Critical to the lifestyle process is Long Term Care (purchasing long-term care insurance or linked benefit insurance), and retirement planning which is different to everyone.

Every Financial Advisor is a little bit different. What I do with my clients is prepare a brief, outlining what they can expect as a client at DAK Financial Group LLC. I review my client’s priority issues and financial requirements and evaluate their financial data so I can understand their individual circumstance.

We hope you have a good working relationship with your Financial Advisor. This is just a short overview of the many “Discussion Priorities” that you may want to consider. Every Financial Advisor will provide different strategies. Some will charge you for their time, based in part, on the licenses they hold. (DAK Financial is paid separately by the company; our clients do not pay us directly or for our services.) In terms of where you can go to check your Advisor’s reputation, the Better Business Bureau is a good starting point. You may also check with the Department of Securities Regulation, Department of Insurance and the National Ethics Bureau.

In conclusion, make sure your Advisor understands your definition of help and listens to your discussion priorities. Be smart with your money! Stop by for a cup of coffee; the pot is always on and I’d welcome a visit, Dave.

Muskrats star scores winning run as Laconia hosts league All Star Game

By RogeR Amsden

LACONIA — Over 1,000 turned out on a warm and cloudy Sunday afternoon at Robbie Mills Field to watch the New England Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Game, a pitcher’s duel which saw Joe Torres of the host Muskrats cross the plate with the winning run in the eighth inning to give the East All-Stars a 2-1 victory.

License plates in the parking lots showed cars from as far away as Kansas, Missouri, Virginia. South Carolina and Georgia, with cars from New Jersey and New York nearly equaling those from the New England states combined with the exception of host state New Hampshire.

And while many were there to root for their family members or those playing in hometown teams of the 13-team league, there was another group of people present with a high interest in the assembled baseball talent; major league scouts were present representing nearly every one of the 30 major league baseball teams, many armed with charts and radar guns. ‘’It’s a great day for us and for the league,’’ said Muskrats general manager Noah Crane, as he watched the big crowd, which the NECBL said amounted to 1,012 people, coming into the ballpark.

Starting on the mound for the Eastern Division All Stars was Laconia’s Will Blalock.

Blalock a junior from Lipscomb University, the second Muskrat pitcher to start an All Star Game, following Justin Wiley in 2011, surrendered the only run scored by the West in the first inning.

North Adams Steeple Cats second baseman Joe Landi lined a one-out single to right and moved to second on a ground out and scored when cleanup man JP Sportman of the Keene Swamp Bats doubled to the gap in left center. Dan Spignola of the Danbury

Westerners followed with a single to center but Sportman was cut down at the plate by East centerfielder Andrew Sanromauro’s throw to home.

The East tied the score in the third inning. Sanford’s Troy Black led off the inning with a single, then stole second. An error allowed the inning to continue and Newport’s Joel McKeithan tied the game with a base hit to center.

Pitching dominated through the next five innings and the East narrowly escaped in the seventh when the West squad had runners in scoring position. Travis Stout of the Plymouth Pilgrims worked his way out of the jam by getting a grounder and a strikeout.

In the bottom of the eighth, the East pulled ahead with a one-out single from All-Star Game MVP Joe Torres of the Muskrats starting the rally. The Laconia outfielder, after swinging and missing on a pitch in the dirt, lined a base hit to left. He then moved up to second when Carl Anderson was hit by pitch. Tyler Boyd of the Mystic Schooners then drilled a single to right and an errant throw by Vahn Bozoian of the Holyoke Blue Sox rolled through the diamond and allowed Torres to score.

Newport’s Kyle Wilcox earned the win, Sanford’s Steven Rice notching a save. The loss went to North Adams’ Joe Anthony Rivera.

The John Watterson NECBL All Star Game MVP, named for the former Keene Swamp Bats manager, went to Torres. who plays for Iona College and leads the NECBL with 21 walks and 21 stolen bases.

The annual event started at 12:30 with player photos. Following photos was the 60 yard dash administered

by MLB scouts. Cody Jones from the Newport Gulls was the NECBL’s fastest runner, posting a time of 6.45 seconds. The Home Run Derby was won by Sanford’s Nate LaPoint who defeated Holyoke’s Vahn Bozoian.

BULGER from page 2 in the courtroom.

Flemmi said Hussey’s mother, Marion, had been his live-in girlfriend since Hussey was just a toddler and that she had called him “Daddy” from a young age.

“A girl who called you ‘Daddy’ consented to sex with you?” Brennan asked.

Flemmi said the sexual contact took place when Hussey became “a different person” because of “her demeanor, her lifestyle.” He said she had been frequenting Boston’s Combat Zone, which was then a center of drugs and prostitution.

“So that gave you an invitation to have sexual relations with her?” Brensee next page

Boston bats silenced (2 hits) by Ray’s Matt Moore

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox played until early Monday morning before finishing off a win against the rival Yankees.

It wasn’t the best way to get ready for a hot pitcher and the majors’ hottest team.

Matt Moore pitched a two-hitter for his first career shutout and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Red Sox 3-0 on Monday night to move within a half-game of first place in the AL East.

Coming off an 11-inning, 8-7 win over New York in a game that lasted 4 hours, 46 minutes and wasn’t completed until just before 1 a.m., the Red Sox offense was shut down by Moore.

“Overall a very well pitched game on both sides, but Matt Moore was the story of the night,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said.

Boston had a decent outing by rookie Brandon Workman, making his second career start — and first at Fenway Park — but it wasn’t enough to keep the Rays from adding another victory in their current run up the East standings.

“He obviously threw the ball really well,” said

Workman, who gave up two runs on seven hits in six innings. “That was impressive to watch.”

Workman enjoyed his first career Fenway start.

“Coming off the series we had against the Yankees, the energy in the stadium was amazing,” the 24-year old right-hander said. “It was like that again tonight.”

Ben Zobrist had three hits and James Loney drove in two runs for the Rays, who earned their sixth consecutive victory and won for the 18th time in 20 games.

In his first start since pitching a scoreless fifth inning in the All-Star game, Moore (14-3) gave up Mike Napoli’s single in the second and David Ortiz’s base-hit in the seventh. Ortiz took second on a wild pitch — the only baserunner to get past first.

Moore walked one batter, struck out four and needed just 109 pitches to win his sixth consecutive start. The Rays have lost just twice since June 28, improving from fourth place and seven games out to within one win of the division lead.

Laconia man charged with DWI for 2nd time in a week

LACONIA — A Union Avenue man was ordered held on $10,000 cash-only bail after he allegedly drove while under the influence of alcohol — seven days after a different arrest for the same thing.

Kenneth Brunelle 51, of 758 Union Avenue Apt. 1 is charged with one count of aggravated driving under the influence and breach of bail. On July 12, he was charged with driving while intoxicated, subsequent offense, while on Doris Ray Court at 2:44 p.m.

Police affidavita filed with circuit court said an officer responded to Bond Beach at 9:02 a.m Friday after getting a call reporting there was a Toyota Corolla with two people and one of them had just fallen. The caller reported the two may be intoxicated.

When the officer arrived, affidavits said she saw two people in a silver Corolla and recognized the operator as Brunelle. She said the key was in the ignition and the car was not running. She noted the hood was warm.

She said she smelled alcohol and Brunelle’s speech was “slurred and slow.”

Brunelle allegedly failed a field sobriety test and agreed to a portable blood test that showed his blood-alcohol content or BAC to reportedly be .23.

A BAC of .08 or more is considered legally intoxi-

cated for driving purposes and a BAC of .16 or greater is considered to be aggravated driving while intoxicated.

Once at the police station, Brunelle allegedly consented to the Intoxilyzer 5000 test and had a bloodalcohol of .24.

Because Brunelle is on bail for the DWI arrest of July 12 and part of his bail conditions from July 12 are to not consume alcohol, he is also charged with breach of bail.

Affidavits indicated Brunelle has past convictions from criminal trespass, theft, resisting arrest, simple assault and driving under the influence. His DUI conviction is from 2006 and was in Laconia District Court.

— Gail Ober from preceding page

nan asked.

“On two occasions, and I regret it, in a moment of weakness,” Flemmi said.

Neither Brennan nor Flemmi specified how old Hussey was at the time. She was 26 when she was killed in 1985.

Flemmi said Hussey was killed “at the insistence of Jim Bulger.”

Broadband Stakeholder Group meeting

DANBURY —Identifying solutions that bring high-speed broadband service to underserved areas is a key focus of the NH Broadband Mapping and Planning Program (www.iwantbroadbandnh.org).

In the Lakes Region, the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG) is helping communities find answers to these and similar questions. On Thursday, July 25, at 7 p.m. in the Danbury Town Hall, the BSG is convening a meeting to explore potential broadband improvement solutions in Danbury and surrounding towns that lack access to adequate high-speed internet connections. These lessons may be transferrable to other rural areas.

The session will include an expert

panel of several internet experts from the NH Dept. of Resources & Economic Development, FairPoint Communications, Comcast Cable, Cyberpine Cooperative, NH FastRoads, and FiberNext.

A citizens group from Danbury sparked local interest in acquiring suitable broadband service, and their efforts will also be highlighted. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage in the conversation and ask questions.

The Lakes Region Planning Commission encourages all members of the public who are interested in any aspect of high-speed broadband service to attend. Light refreshment will be provided. For additional information, call Michelle Therrien at 279-8171 or email at mtherrien@lakesrpc.org.

GEORGE’S DINER

Residential

MEREDITH — VynnArt Gallery, is hosting an exhibit starting on on July 25 showcasing the photography of John Ferreira. John’s works are open for viewing from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. A reception and a chance to meet the artist will be held Thursday from 4-7 p.m. Show specials will be offered during this time.

“The world around us often appears very different and more wondrous, if we slow down and focus. My mission is to try and freeze those moments in time that tell the broader story. To capture the moments that are rarely seen when we just pass by” says Ferreira.

Ferreira has been actively involved in photography all his life. His primary primary focus is landscape and nature photography. He finds the process of photography helps him to be a better observer and to think more creatively. In his photographic work, he enjoys taking personal control over all aspects of the process from planning the digital capture to processing in the digital darkroom.

He is a lifelong resident of New England and maintains residences in both the Lakes Region and in the metro Connecticut/New York area. His wife and family have been coming to the Lakes Region for over 30 years.

For 115 years the Smith Meeting House and the Gilmanton Old Home Day Association have hosted Old Home Day activities. In 1899, then New Hampshire Governor Frank W.

He asked the various towns to establish a day of prayer and a week of celebration to showcase all the wonderful traditions of the state.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

a gutter ball is only a couple of feet. If you lose today, it will be a near-miss situation. So correct your approach and keep trying. You have this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll spend time in the land of business, where the main concerns have to do with sales, leads, revenues and profits. You’re becoming increasingly comfortable with a deal -- keep working on it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be lucky when you relate to older people. Someone with silver in her hair has gold in her heart that she’ll share with you when you make the effort to reach out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are not interested in making anyone feel bad about themselves in comparison to you. So your style is not to say anything about your accomplishments unless asked -- and even then you’ll downplay them.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 23). You exhibit amazing flexibility and will stretch to handle many projects at once. In order to keep from being overburdened, end one project before you start another and get rid of responsibilities along the way. You’ll win a prize in the next 10 weeks. In September, you’ll be paid well for your work and in more ways than just money. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 4, 23, 40 and 11.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The knowledge you obtain only makes you want to know more. This interest will soon turn into a passion, and the passion will very quickly make you an expert.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A pecking order is being established, and you may not agree with it. Why, you wonder, should anyone get pecked? Your presence will change this order but not deactivate it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is said that “love enters through the eyes.” Whether this love is fresh or came about many years ago, your eyes will be delighted by the sight of a certain someone.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some believe that saying “I love you” actually dilutes the emotion instead of conveying it.

Today you will act to show, not tell, your love.

The message will ring out loud and clear.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Too much introspection all at once gets wearying. Do something, preferably unrelated to what’s on your mind. Solve an entirely different problem, and you’ll find that the first issue moves along in a good direction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are good reasons to hold back the floodgates of personal confession, the primary one being that it’s just not cool. Ask yourself who will benefit from learning this something about yourself, and proceed only if the answer is too compelling not to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not looking for ways to increase your popularity and social success, and yet you’ll naturally gravitate to the habits that attract people.

You’ll gain friends whether you want them or not.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Family banter is often less than supportive, but the presence of an outsider can curb that, as everyone acts a little nicer when there’s a witness. Besides, it’s just bad form to bicker in front of a stranger.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In bowling, the difference between a strike and

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My daughter has been dating the same guy for 11 years. Three years ago, she purchased a townhouse, and he moved in. He has terrible sleep habits. He claims his “internal sleep clock” is not in sync with the rest of the world. He stays up most nights playing on his computer and has a difficult time waking in the morning. He then spends his weekends trying to catch up on his sleep, staying in bed until late afternoon. He claims this is why he has yet to complete his college degree. He has a dead-end job because they tolerate his hours.

My daughter has done research on sleep disorders and offered him names of doctors and clinics in the area that specialize in helping people, but he refuses to go.

My daughter has a fantastic job. She is intelligent, beautiful, outgoing and fun, and has a wide circle of friends who apparently make up for what she doesn’t get from Rip Van Winkle. This lopsided relationship is not what I had hoped for her. She deserves so much more. She and I have had many discussions about this, and at one point it negatively affected our relationship. Since then, I’ve tried to keep my thoughts to myself.

She recently told me that Rip expects to inherit some money from an aunt who recently died. He claims he will use the money to buy an engagement ring and pay for online college classes. Frankly, I would prefer she never marry him. How do I prepare myself to react to a possible engagement? -- Sleepyhead’s Mother-In-Law-To-Be Dear SMILTB: Sleep disorders can be serious, but the fact that Rip Van Winkle has no interest in seeing a doctor means he would rather maintain the status quo. You already know your daughter isn’t inclined to listen to your opinions about this guy. So practice smiling in front of the mirror, because there isn’t much else you can do. We hope

Rip Van Winkle has some redeeming qualities to make up for his lack of ambition, and one of them may be that he loves your daughter a great deal. Please try to focus on those good qualities and accept her decision with grace and fortitude.

Dear Annie: I recently asked a good friend to accompany me to a store where I needed to make a return. I wasn’t sure the manager would be cooperative and wanted my friend for support. She declined.

I was hurt and now wonder whether she is as good of a friend as I thought. I would have done it for her had she asked. Am I making too much of this? -- What Are Friends For? Dear What: Yes. Your friend may have her own issues about returning items, and this particular request may have made her terribly uncomfortable. Our friends cannot be all things to us. If she is otherwise good to you, please let her off the hook for this type of activity.

Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Frustrated Cook,” who admonished children who were picky eaters. My son was like that. Rather than create tension, I decided to cook what he would eat, even if it meant cooking a different dish. I remember my relatives giving me “the look” because they thought I was enabling him and that it was my fault he had such a limited palate.

As an adult, he is still picky, but now he can explain it to me. He says the texture of certain foods has always been a huge issue for him. He will now try different foods within limits. But he has expressed his gratitude to me for not forcing him to eat or go without. To my relatives and others out there, don’t judge unless you know the whole story. -Happy Mom and Son
