3 vehicle crash by Winnipesaukee overlook takes 1 life

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — A three-car accident on Route 11 in front of the scenic area overlooking the Broads of Lake Winnipesaukee took the life of a woman who was driving one of the cars yesterday at 11:55 a.m.

Four other people were taken by ambulances from Gilford and Laconia to Lakes Region

General Hospital for what fire officials describe as non life-threatening injuries.

Det. Sgt. Chris Jacques, who is also a member of the Belknap Regional Accident Investigation Team that investigated the crash, said police are not releasing any details at this time until family members can be notified and the reconstruction is complete.

According to Gilford Fire Chief Steve Carrier, there were three people in a silver Toyota sedan, one person in a dark colored sedan and one person in a dark SUV involved. He said the female driver of the Toyota was killed and a “toddler” from her car was one of those taken to the hospital.

He said the silver car was the most serisee FATAL page 12

Dump Run Cafe brings Gilmanton together

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILMANTON — The Dump Run Cafe, which is open every Wednesday morning in the basement of the Gilmanton Community Church (Four Corners), has become the hub of community activity ever since it opened last June. ‘’It’s a place for people to hang out after they go to the dump on Wednesday,’’

says Roger Beaudet, the self-proclaimed ‘’roadie’’ who sets up the sound equipment for the Dump Run Gang, a dozen or so musicians who gather each week and play old time favorites like ‘’Wabash Cannonball’’, ‘’Glory Train’’ and ‘’Temperance Reel.’’

Beaudet, whose wife plays autoharp with the band, says that the cafe caught on right away and has become the place

Fish & Game officer dies from bike crash injuries

WOLFEBORO(AP) — A New Hampshire Fish and Game officer has died of injuries following a motorcycle crash.

Wolfeboro Police Lt. Dean Rondeau tells WMWV radio Conservation Officer Sgt. Brian Abrams lost control of his motorcycle while riding down a steep hill in Wolfeboro on Sunday.

He was just leaving a horse riding event that one of his children had participated in.

The 49-year-old Abrams was ejected from the bike into a nearby field, where he hit his head. He was not wearing a helmet.

He had been hospitalized in critical condition at Maine Medical Center in Portland. A spokesman said Wednesday that he had died.

He had been with the department for 22 years. In 2011, he led search teams looking for Celina Cass in West Stewartstown when she was reported missing.

Snowden asylum last straw; Obama cancels summit with Putin WASHINGTON (AP) — Already faltering, President Barack Obama’s five-year effort to reboot U.S.-Russian relations finally crashed Wednesday, as the White House abruptly canceled his planned faceto-face summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

The effort to upgrade the relationship has fallen victim to the rapidly shrinking common ground between the former Cold War rivals, including extreme differences over the Syrian civil war, Russia’s domestic crackdown on civil rights and — the final

straw — the asylum granted to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.

The U.S. and Russian foreign and defense ministers will sit down in Washington later this week, but Obama canceled his planned early September summit in Moscow with Putin because of what the White House called a lack of “recent progress” on a wide array of critical issues.

Such steps are not taken lightly, and the decision will almost certainly herald a new frostiness in already chilly ties.

“We have informed the Russian govern-

ment that we believe it would be more constructive to postpone the summit until we have more results from our shared agenda,” the White House said in a statement, citing deep differences over missile defense, arms control, trade, global security and human rights. “Russia’s disappointing decision to grant Edward Snowden temporary asylum was also a factor that we considered in assessing the current state of our bilateral relationship,” it added.

The Kremlin responded quickly, voicing see SUMMIT page 5

CLEVELAND (AP) — With several swipes from the arm of an excavator and applause from spectators, a house where three women were held captive and raped for a decade was demolished Wednesday, reduced to rubble in less than an hour and a half.

The demolition had the look of a neighborhood celebration, but some residents have been troubled by guilt for failing to notice tell-tale signs of the women’s

imprisonment, like windows boarded up from the inside and the kidnapper’s practice of keeping visitors from going past the front room.

“It’s haunted them, I think, in the sense of how could they not have known,” said city Councilman Brian Cummins, who watched the demolition.

The home was torn down as part of the plea deal that spared Ariel Castro a possible death sentence and forced him to turn

over the deed to the house and pay for it to be razed. He was sentenced last week to life in prison plus 1,000 years.

One of the imprisoned women, Michelle Knight, showed up early Wednesday before the work began. She made a brief statement and released balloons into the air.

“Dear Lord, give the missing people strength and power to know that they are loved,” said Knight, who had rosary beads see HOUSE page 9

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — On the first day Maj. Nidal Hasan went on trial in a fight for his life, he claimed responsibility for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood. He posed no questions to most witnesses. He said the alleged murder weapon was his, even though no one asked.

The Army psychiatrist sometimes took notes while acting as his own attorney, but he mostly looked forward impassively and rarely asked for help as witness after witness said he was the shooter.

By Wednesday, the lawyers ordered to help him said they’d had enough — they

couldn’t watch him fulfill a death wish.

“It becomes clear his goal is to remove impediments or obstacles to the death penalty and is working toward a death penalty,” his lead standby attorney, Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, told the judge. That strategy, see FT HOOD page 12

Need to cover for heroin deal gone bad said to have led to theft of guns

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A local man who allegedly stole two shotguns from his family’s home because he owed money for what he said was a heroin deal “gone bad” is being held on $10,000 cashonly bail.

Cody Ryan, 22, of 45 Sanborn St. is charged with two counts of theft by unauthorized taking stemming from the alleged theft of the guns that was reported to police on August 2.

Ryan is also charged with one count of breach of bail and one count of receiving stolen property for allegedly having his mother’s credit card in his possession on August 5 when police located him in the parking lot behind the VFW Hall on Court Street.

According to affidavits obtained yesterday from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, police learned from one of Ryan’s relatives on August 2 that his two guns were missing. He said he had last seen the guns at 3 p.m. and had returned home at 4 p.m. when he realized they were missing.

The relative told police that Ryan has “bought some drugs for a friend last night and the guys he bought the drugs from gave him cinnamon instead of heroin so he was saying he still owes these guys $160.”

The relative also told police he had been trying all day to get money from a different family member. Other family members told police no one except Ryan and other immediate family members had been in or out of the house during the hours in which the guns allegedly disappeared.

Police issued a warrant for Ryan’s arrest.

On August 5, police received another call from the family residence and

DUMP RUN from page one all the time. We usually have at least 60 people here — they come from all over,’’ says Pastor Chris Stevens of the Gilmanton Community Church.

He said that the cafe was started to meet a perceived need in the community for a place where people could sit down together and socialize. ‘’There’s no community center, no coffee shop or place for people to mingle. We at the church thought ‘why can’t we fill that need?’ and started looking for a way to do it. We were waiting for the right person to take the lead and found that person in Judy Rouleau, who was a new member of the church,’’ says Stevens.

He says that Rouleau and her husband, Louis, set out to organize the cafe on the same basis as that of a town dump, where people meet and socialize every week. They chose Wednesday, because that’s the day the older residents of the town make their dump run to the town transfer station, which is about a mile away from the church.

Stevens says that about half of those who show up are members of he church and half are not, which is the way it was intended. ‘’We see this as a community effort,

were told that Ryan’s mother’s pocketbook had been stolen.

Affidavits said the family reported it about 30 minutes after Ryan allegedly took it, telling police that he had called and said it was in a dumpster

behind the VFW. When police went to retrieve the pocketbook, they saw Ryan in the passenger seat of a black Volkswagen Jetta. Police passed the Jetta, turn around and stopped it.

Affidavits said among other things Ryan had his mother’s debit car in his wallet.

Prosecutor Jim Sawyer argued for cash only bail in court Tuesday and said Ryan is also facing charges for possession and attempted sales of heroin that date to a separate incident on July 24. Sawyer said Ryan has a history of drug abuse.

His lawyer argued for personal recognizance bail and said Ryan was seeking help from Horizons and had an appointment to see them that afternoon. She said Ryan lives with his grandmother.

Both said Ryan may be a good candidate for Recovery Court but that if he gets accepted into a residential drug program the cash bail will revert to personal recognizance bail.

He also told him to stay away from his parents house but said there could be visits as long as his parents agreed.

not a church effort, and it’s part of our social outreach to provide a place for people in the community to meet and have fun together,’’ says Stevens.

Among the many volunteers helping out each week are Julie Perkins, who heads up the kitchen crew, which makes coffee, doughnuts, pastries and breakfast sandwiches; Ray Wyss, who cooks the doughnuts, and Ginny Hiltz, who for years supervised the cooking of the bean hole beans at Gilmanton’s Old Home Day. Audrey Danielson of Pittsfield, a fiddle teacher, shows up every week to play, says that she loves the atmosphere of the church hall and enjoys entertaining those who show up.

The Cafe, which is open from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., has expanded to open on the first Saturday morning of each month so that people who can’t get there on weekdays can have the opportunity to experience the fun environment. ‘’You can feel the energy in the building when the people are here and the music is playing. Happiness is something that we need in the world today, and it makes all the people who show up here to take part in the cafe happy to be a part of it,’’ says Stevens.

Praise directed at Laconia Police Department at accreditation hearing

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — About 15 people from local public service agencies, police departments, City Hall and the city School District spoke in support of the city Police Department becoming reaccredited at a public hearing last night.

Speaking first was City Councilor Brenda Baer who had a special thank you to the Police Department for their role in taking Wyatt Park in the South End from a place where many feared to go to a family-friendly park where people are welcomed.

“They returned the park to the citizens of that area,” Baer said to the two examiners from CALEA or the Commission on Law Enforcement Accreditation.

According to Chief Joseph Bartlett of CELEA, who is also a retired interim Police Chief in Greenville, North Carolina, there are 480 different standards a department must meet to become CALEA certified.

There are 13 policing agencies in New Hampshire that are CALEAaccredited including Laconia, Manchester, Nashua, Keene, Durham, UNH, and the Strafford County Sheriffs Department. Accreditation lasts three years and Laconia was first certified in 2010, under retired Chief Mike Moyer.

Part of the process is a public hearing.

Mayor Mike Seymour said professionalism is the word that most often come to mind when he thinks about

the Laconia Police Department.

He said not only are city police officers professional and confident they are compassionate — something he said he noticed during a ride-along shortly after he was first elected mayor.

The principals of Woodland Heights and Elm Street Elementary Schools complimented them on their professionalism and visibility.

Kevin Michaud, who relocated from Maine last year said they are the best police department he has worked with since he’s been an educator. He said the police are friendly, not intimidating, and “the kids want to interact with them.”

Dennis Doten of Woodland Heights thanked them for their compassion and professionalism in the wake of a car accident that took the life of a Middle School student while other students looked on and in planning and coordinating emergency response guidelines following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Others speaking included Carol Pierce of the Human Rights Committee, City Manager Scott Myers, Gilford Police Chief Kevin Keenan (a Laconia resident), and UNH Chief of Police Paul Dean.

Capt. Matt Canfield said the CALEA assessing team has signed off on the 480 standards and will take their findings to the Executive Committee for a targeted fall accreditation.

SUMMIT from page 2 its own disappointment with the canceled summit and blaming it on Washington’s inability to develop relations with Moscow on an “equal basis.”

Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, added that the decision was “clearly linked” to the Snowden case, a situation that he said wasn’t of Russia’s making.

While Snowden might have been the immediate catalyst for canceling the summit, the seeds of renewed U.S.Russia discord were planted more than a year ago when Putin re-took the Russian presidency. On returning to power, he adopted a deeply nationalistic and more openly confrontational stance toward the United States than had his chosen successor Dmitry Medvedev, whose 2008-2012 tenure roughly overlapped Obama’s first term in the White House.

Where Medvedev abstained in a U.N. Security Council vote that authorized NATO airstrikes in Libya, Putin has refused repeated entreaties from Washington to allow the world body to impose even minimal sanctions on President Bashar Assad’s Syria. At the same time, Putin’s government has continued to supply its ally Assad with weapons. And it has not delivered on pledges to coax Assad into sending representatives to talks with the opposition aimed at finding a political solution to the Syrian conflict.

Obama sought to cultivate Medvedev as a friend of the United States, making significant changes to Bush administration plans for European missile defense to try to ease Russian concerns about that project, signing a

new arms control treaty and famously sending then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva where she proclaimed a “reset” in U.S.-Russia relations.

Putin, however, seems to want none of the coziness that a “reset” would bring and has actively sought to undo previous agreements on cooperation.

Under Putin, Russia has stepped up its negative rhetoric on missile defense, ended two decades of democracy and civil society training by the U.S. Agency for International Development and banned adoptions of Russian children by Americans.

Andrew Kuchins, a political scientist and expert on Russian politics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said he thinks the reset has been on hold for a while.

“We hit the peak at the end of 2010, and then things started going downhill gradually in 2011,” Kuchins said.

“Then, when the announcement was made that Putin was coming back as president in the fall of 2011, the downfall of the reset got a little steeper. “ But he said he does not think that Putin wants to “trash” the U.S.-Russia relationship and doesn’t think relations are as bad as they were after the Georgia war in the fall of 2008 and 2009. In 2008, Georgia and Russia fought a brief war after Georgia launched an intense artillery barrage on the capital of South Ossetia, and Mikhail Saakashvili, the president of the former Soviet republic, forged a deeper relationship with the U.S. “That was a pretty dangerous moment for the relationship,” Kuchins said.

Democrats own Obamacare all by themselves Nothing is free in politics, but there is some question when you pay the price.

That’s been a saying of mine for many years, though I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from someone else. I think it applies to Obamacare.

My American Enterprise Institute colleague Norman Ornstein has been shellacking Republicans for trying to undercut the implementation of the Obama health care legislation. He calls it “simply unacceptable, even contemptible.” He points out that Republicans in the past haven’t tried to undercut or derail major legislation of this sort.

That’s correct, as a matter of history. You won’t find any concerted drive to repeal and replace Social Security after it was enacted in 1935 or Medicare after it was passed in 1965. In contrast, Republicans proclaim they want to repeal and replace Obamacare.

They don’t agree on tactics. Some Republicans want to vote to defund Obamacare spending while continuing to fund the government otherwise. Others argue that would be a futile gesture and politically damaging.

The two sides have taken to calling each other names — the suicide caucus and the surrender caucus.

But both want to get rid of Obamacare because they think it’s bad for the country.

The so-called surrender caucus is surely correct in predicting that Barack Obama and the Democraticmajority Senate will never allow the defunding of Obamacare. The so-called suicide caucus is right to point out that government shutdowns are not fatal to congressional Republicans, who maintained their congressional majorities after the shutdowns in the Clinton years.

Other points are more problematic. The defunders argue that once Obamacare subsidies go out, people will get hooked on them and support for repeal will tank. Their critics argue that there may be so many glitches (Obama’s word) in the rollout of the health insurance exchanges that support will fall below the present low levels.

The fact is that no one knows for sure. But whatever happens, there are good reasons for Republicans to regard Obamacare as a legitimate target.

One is that, unlike Social Security and Medicare, the law was passed by Democrats only, with no bipartisan consultation. Democrats could do that only because accidents — like the later overturned prosecution of Alaska Republican Ted Stevens — gave them a 60-vote

supermajority in the Senate.

That’s a contrast with the 2003 Medicare Part D prescription drug bill, which as Ornstein points out Democrats didn’t try to undercut after it was passed. But Democrats were widely consulted during the legislative process, and a non-trivial number of them voted for the final version.

A second point is that Obamacare — unlike Social Security, Medicare and Part D — wasn’t consistently supported in public opinion polls.

Quite the contrary.

Please don’t pass this bill, the public pleaded, speaking in January 2010 through the unlikely medium of the voters of the commonwealth of Massachusetts when they elected Republican Scott Brown to the Senate as the 41st vote against Obamacare.

Democrats went ahead anyway, at the urging of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and with the approval of President Barack Obama. They made that decision knowing that, without a 60th vote in the Senate, the only legislative path forward was for the House to pass a bill identical to the one the Senate passed in December 2009.

No one had intended that to be the final version. Democrats expected to hold a conference committee to comb the glitches out of the Senate bill and the version the House passed in November.

Voters had done all they could do to signal that they wanted not a Democratic version of Obamacare but a bipartisan compromise or no legislation at all. Obama and Pelosi ignored that demand.

Under those circumstances, it’s not surprising that Republicans — politicians and voters — regard the passage of the law as illegitimate.

And that they believe they are morally justified in seeking repeal and replacement of legislation they consider gravely harmful to the nation.

You may or may not agree with those judgments. But it shouldn’t be hard to see why Republicans feel that way.

Those feelings have been intensified as glitch after glitch in Obamacare come to light — and as the president indicates, contrary to his constitutional duty, that he will not faithfully execute parts of the law.

When they passed Obamacare, Democrats thought they were achieving a triumph free of any cost.

Now, as Obamacare founders, they are paying the price.

LETTERS Laconia & Gilford should find a way to share new football field To The Daily Sun, Laconia has a great tradition in the annals of New Hampshire high school football. We have fielded some outstanding championship teams over the years. I can remember playing for Franklin during the 1950s; Laconia was the culmination or our senior year because that was the only game in our career that we would play under the lights.

Laconia, now has a state of the art arena in which are teams can play and, coincidentally, a tremendous area in which to view the festivities.

I love the sport of football as do many of the people in the area. We will be able to see approximately seven games a year played there, assuming we get into the playoffs every year. I

would like to suggest that the Laconia School Board seek to enter negotiations with the Gilford School Board and then ask the scheduling committee to arrange a schedule whereby the two schools could share a field to their mutual advantage. If the Giants and the Jets can share and arena, it shouldn’t be to much of a problem for Laconia and Gilford to do the same.

Giford needs a new field, and Laconia has a new field. Laconia and Gilford can negotiate a contract fair and equitable to both sides for the use of the field. If they could come together in two agreements on the business park, this should not be to difficult.

Please support new contract proposal for Ashland’s teachers To The Daily Sun, Once again, the Ashland School Board would like to sincerely thank voters of Ashland for their overwhelming support of the school district’s budget for 2013-2014. And, once again, the board asks for your support. The school board and teachers will ask voters to reconsider the proposed teachers’ contract beginning with a Deliberative (First) Session of a special school district meeting to be held September 3.

Many of Ashland Elementary School’s teachers have been with the district for over 20 years, providing dedicated service to your children.

The proposed contract offers the teachers a 5.5 percent increase in salaries over three years. The board and administration have worked hard to keep the general budget lean with the hope that voters would support this collective bargaining agreement. Our belief is that teachers make Ashland Elementary School a great school for your children. We ask for your support by attending the deliberative session on September 3, 2013, and by voting “Yes” on October 1, 2013, on the proposed teachers’ contract. Thank you.

Did Ms. Loesch feel as strongly when O.J. Simpson was acquitted To The Daily Sun, I see that Ms. Loesch is insisting her version of the Martin/Zimmerman case is the correct one even though the facts say otherwise. She continues to bring up the stand your ground law even though the case was based and adjudicated on self defense. I guess common sense will never get in the way of ideology in the minds of progressives. I’m curious as to whether or not Ms. Loesch felt as strongly about the O.J. Simpson case when he was acquitted of a double murder when the evidence showed otherwise. The members of the black community were dancing in the streets after that

The members of the white community were definitely unhappy with that jury but they didn’t tear up any cities because of it.

On another note, I see that Lynn Chong must have the warring town of Plymouth under control as she is taking her sign and going down to Concord, that bastion of incivility, to see if she can bring peace to the area.

Her bravery knows no bounds. Might I suggest that her next stop be Syria or maybe Yemen. I’m sure there’s a travel agency out there that would gladly book a flight for her.

Lastly, I see that George Maloof just adores those windmills that desecrate

WOW Trail 101

A crash course for the rail trail novice Guess how many people used the WOW Trail last year? 41,000! Are you one of them? Whether you are a frequent user or have never been on the WOW Trail before, chances are you may be interested in learning more about it. To follow, please find a few frequently asked questions about the Trail.

What is a rail trail? A rail trail is a multi-use, recreational path that runs parallel to an active railroad line or, a path created on a former railroad corridor where trains no longer travel. In the WOW Trail’s case, it is alongside an active railroad line operated by the Hobo & Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad. The trail is located in the railroad right of way owned by the State of New Hampshire and managed by the N.H. Department of Transportation.

Where is the WOW Trail? The WOW Trail is a paved, rail trail in the City of Laconia. Presently 1.3 miles long; the trail spans from Elm Street in Lakeport to North Main Street near Downtown Laconia. Design and fundraising is currently underway to extend the trail another 1.1 miles from North Main Street to the Belmont town line.

After this second section of trail is completed, we will work to expand the trail in the other direction, from Elm Street in Lakeport to Weirs Beach, and then beyond to Meredith — connecting Meredith, Weirs Beach and Lakeport with Downtown Laconia via a convenient passageway.

Is it safe? Yes. Our current section of Trail has proven to be a safe, alternative route for runners, bikers and walkers between the Downtown area and Lakeport. Even more, the trail is a fun, flat place for families with little ones to practice their bike riding or take a walk. If you’d like to take a walk or run on the WOW Trail, but don’t want to go alone, please consider joining us for one of our new walking and running groups. All ages and abilities are welcome. We meet on Wednesdays at 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. at the Lakeport entrance to the Trail behind the Lake Opechee Inn & Spa and at Noon and 5:30 p.m. at the North Main Street entrance to the trail just across from the Laconia Clinic.

I’ve never heard of a rail trail?

Is the WOW Trail the first one?

No. For lack of a better term, we are sort of late to the party. Nationwide, there are over 20,000 miles of rail trails, including New Hampshire’s own Northern Rail Trail which spans 52 miles from Lebanon all the way to Franklin.

In addition, Franklin and TiltonNorthfield are home to the Winnipesaukee River Trail and the Town of Belmont is poised to build a rail trail beginning at the BelmontLaconia Town line soon.

What is the long-term plan for the trail? The WOW Trail’s mission is to promote, design, build and maintain a nine mile recreational path through the City of Laconia as a part of the regional trail network that will connect Meredith to Franklin. In other words, a completed WOW Trail will be the Laconia section of this regional trail effort.

Why build rail trails? Quite simply, rail trails are a good investment. Nationwide, rail trails are proven to provide safe and accessible recreation opportunities, promote active lifestyles for all ages, and stimulate local economies by increasing tourism and promoting access to local business. In fact, according to a recent Belknap Economic Development Council study, a completed WOW Trail will bring an estimated 152,000 users annually, with 38,000 coming from outside of the Lakes Region — generating a minimum of $1.8 million in new visitor spending every year. That’s a good return on investment, don’t you think?

Why now? A completed WOW Trail will be a game-changer for this community. Not only will it enhance the quality of life for residents, but it will attract new visitors to the area and help current and future businesses attract and retain a quality workforce by making the city a more desirable place to live, work and play. We can look at case studies of communities around the country who have seen transformative change by implementing comprehensive, regional trail systems.

But, ultimately, it’s up to our community to say yes to the idea around here, advocate for a more walkable City and, most importantly, help usher the project along by investing in its construction.

Walking, running and biking are recreational uses popular with and available to all ages, skills and socioeconomic levels. These activities encourage and reinforce healthy lifestyles for all people. Why wait to usher this sort of change into our community?

How will the Trail be paid for?

The WOW Trail is fortunate to have a committed group of volunteers dedicated to raising funds for the continued expansion of the trail. We conduct two main fundraising events annually: the WOW Sweepstakes Ball and WOW Fest. In addition, we actively apply for grant funding and, for the first time this fall, we will introduce an end of year fundraising appeal to the community.

When will the next section of the Trail be built? If design and fundraising go as planned, another 1.1 miles of trail will be built (from North Main Street in Laconia to the Belmont Town line) by the Fall of 2014.

How can I help? Please share see next page

Kidnapper Castro is now convicted murderer thanks to Ohio law To The Daily Sun, Ariel Castro has been sentenced by an Ohio court to life imprisonment plus 1,000 years without parole based on 937 criminal charges occurring over a period of a decade. These charges include kidnapping, imprisonment, assault, and rape perpetuated upon three young women, Michelle Knight, Gina De Jesus and Amanda Berry. But it is two counts of AGGRAVATED MURDER that forced Mr. Castro to accept a plea bargain and plead guilty to ALL charges in order to avoid a possible death sentence.

These charges were based on Castro’s purposeful assaults on a pregnant Michelle Knight, forcing her to suffer at least two miscarriages.

Please note that the unborn children carried by Michelle in these two instances had to be recognized as living human beings in order for the two murder charges to be valid.

In principle, this clashes directly with the landmark 1973 Supreme Court rulings in Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton that dehumanized and rejected the personhood and right to life of the unborn. Murder cannot be charged for a lethal assault on a blob of tissue that has no legal claim to personhood or right to life. By these case law precedents, the Roe and Doe Court also removed the legal protection for a woman’s right to CHOOSE to carry her pregnancy up to the birth of a live child. Before unborn victims of violence legislation was passed on the federal level in 2004 (by Congress on the fourth try, valid within federal jurisdiction, including the military) and before similar legislation was passed in some individual states, the perpetrator of an attack on a mother that harmed or terminated the life of an unborn child was NOT held legally culpable for the harm to or the demise of the unborn. This caused a number of grossly unjust rulings by various courts when assaults were made on pregnant women that resulted in the deaths of their unborn children.

In these cases the perpetrators were held culpable for harming or killing the mother but not in any way held responsible or culpable for the demise of her unborn. The mothers in these cases had no right by law (Supreme Court case law) to legal protection to carry their unborn children to birth because the unborn had been dehumanized and granted no right to life by the precedents of Roe and Doe.

The charges in Ariel Castro’s case, however, were made possible by way of an Ohio statute (not case law) dealing with unborn victims of violence which, in part, states that the killing by assault at ANY STATE of pre-natal development of an unborn member of the species Homo Sapiens carried in the womb is AGGRAVATED MURDER. The statute also provides for varying degrees of charges for different circumstances resulting in harm or death to the unborn. The state of Ohio recognizes that it is not anyone’s right to terminate a woman’s pregnancy against her will and the perpetrator is held criminally culpable as if he had done the same to a living, breathing person.

There are still a number of states that do not provide ANY statutory protection for a woman’s CHOICE to carry her pregnancy to birth. In these states, the dehumanizing case law precedents of Roe and Doe prevail and no culpability and punishment can be applied to the perpetrator for harming or killing the unborn.

There has been an ongoing battle to secure justice for wanted unborn children who have been harmed or killed against the mother’s will. Many hardline pro-abortion forces have fought tenaciously to prevent the slightest encroachment into the edicts of Roe and Doe that support denial of the right to life for the unborn. These forces include presidents such as Clinton and Obama, liberal federal, state and local politicians, and numerous pro-choice organizations, notably Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. Their actions to prevent the enactment of the various unborn victims of violence acts are quite revealing.

There is a long list of assaults on pregnant women resulting in death to their unborn. Many of the perpetrators have tried to escape culpability by appealing the convictions for these acts, seeking immunity in the courts by arguing the non-human, non-right to life principles of Roe and Doe. All of these appeals to date have been dismissed. In the states that do not have protective statutes, the principles of Roe and Doe prevail and there is no way to hold the perpetrator culpable.

Does a pregnant women represent one life or two? This saga with examples is for another letter!

LETTERS Nothing phony about people who died in Mexico & Benghazi To The Daily Sun, Where in the world does Bernadette Loache get her news and information?

In her letter on July 26, she blasts Don Ewing’s account of the Zimmerman case, making all sorts of backwardsto-the-evidence assertions to which there is no foundation. The prosecution attempted to show a racial motive but not even the FBI could do that in spite of an extensive investigation. It was the prosecution that spun unsupported theories and speculation in order to make their case. It was they who did everything she accuses the defense of doing.

If Bernie wanted to she could look up, online, Trayvon Martin’s history and then decide which side had evidence suppressed, but she won’t. Bernie made up her mind as soon as NBC doctored the 911 call tapes and left wing media built their yellow journalism, railroad Zimmerman bandwagon. A true intellectual she.

Speaking about turning things backwards and on its ear, the president and his crew are on the campaign trail again, this time touting the idea of phony scandals. Well Mr. President,

there is nothing phony about the hundreds of deaths caused by your Attorney General’s gun-running scheme to Mexico. Corrupting the IRS and multiple other government agencies into discriminating against and targeting conservative groups and individuals is not phony either. Mr. Holder targeting the Associated Press telephone and other records, naming a Fox News reporter as a co-conspirator in a search warrant application, lying to congressional hearings more then once and stonewalling investigations counts too. And, yes the little matter of Benghazi and a dead ambassador and three other Americans falls into that category also. We will not allow you and your gang of stooges to sweep these things under the rug.

Just a little side bar, if I may? One recent letter writer says we can have oil or a livable future but not both. I would ask that gentlemen what does he propose to replace oil with that will not economically crush the poor and middle class in this country? Just asking?

Big government destroyed Detroit, not the lack thereof To The Daily Sun, While Detroit is drowning from 50 years of suffocating liberal rules, regulations and corruption, modern-day liberals remain focused on their primary goals: revisionist history, crushing capitalism and escaping reality.

“What’s Going On” sang Marvin Gaye.

Well, Detroit’s bodacious automobile industry has been crumbling under the weight of crushing union obligations while refusing to adapt to changing economic realities following World War II. Matthew May puts it succinctly, “The industry that built the gleaming city on the Detroit River scoffed at the Japanese and their silly, little cars”.

Democrats falsely offered hope exclaiming, “Reach Out I’ll Be There” (Four Tops). So for the past half century, they were there. No Republican mayor since the 1940s. Democrat mayors so intoxicated with power that corruption was omnipresent, sucking the life out of a city once called “Paris of the Midwest”. Powerful unions fostered a sense of entitled superiority for the workers while holding automakers hostage and simultaneously clinging to an unsustainable business model. Charles Krauthammer termed it a cozy symbiosis where “public sector unions gave money to elect the politicians who negotiated their contracts”.

Racist mayor Coleman Young exhorted whites to “take their asses across 8 Mile (to the suburbs)” in the 1970s. Most white folks did, eventually followed by black folks. Today, Detroit’s inner city is inhabited mostly by black folks who do not have the means to get away. Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick bled the city dry in a way that would bring admiration from any infamous crime syndicate.

Despite millions spent on schools through LBJ’s ill-fated, “Great Society” programs, Detroit students recently turned in the lowest math scores ever recorded in a proficiency test according to Bloomberg.com.

More than a third of students fail to obtain a high school diploma. All this for a $14,000/year per student cost.

40 percent of street lights don’t work.

Two thirds of the parks are closed and emergency police response takes an hour. Unemployment is at 16.3 percent versus 7.6 percent nationwide.

The population is now about 700,000 compared to a peak of 1.8 million in the 1950s. Violent crime is five times the national ave. The murder rate is 11 times that of New York City. $19 billion in obligations and the mayors’

Motown theme song, “I Can’t Help Myself” (Four Tops).

As Marvin Gaye laments, “Inner City Blues”, the revisionist liberals claim to know the reasons for “What Has Become of the Brokenhearted” (Jimmy Ruffin). Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm blames Detroit’s demise on “free trade”. NY Times columnist Paul Krugman believes the city was just an innocent victim of market forces. MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry asserts it was due to what happens “when government is small enough to drown in your bathtub”. She was not wearing her tampon earrings when she made the comment which might explain her inability to absorb reality or hear the truth.

Here’s a reality check for Jennifer, Paul, Melissa and the rest of the modern day liberal machine. Government destroyed Detroit and not the lack thereof. Corrupt mayors, powerful public sector unions, unfunded obligations, anti-business taxes, antibusiness regulations, insanely high property taxes and a calcifying progressive mindset killed what once was one of the brightest cities on the planet. Yes, it was the city’s own really bad decision making rather than free markets and limited government that put Detroit on the precipice of poverty and destruction. Charles Krauthammer is correct when he says that “it doesn’t take a genius to see what happens when the entitlement state outgrows the economy upon which it rests”. “Ain’t to Proud to Beg” (Temptations) says bankrupt Detroit. Let the bailouts begin.

As we’ve seen for a century, at least, progressives never seem able to accept the mountains of empirical evidence or the vast lessons of history, the now motorless city only the most recent example. So, they will continue to distort reality in a “Ball of Confusion” (Temptations). They will continue to believe that liberal elitists are the only ones qualified to organize society and assure equality and social justice. The ideology that has caused the demise of civilizations from the Roman Empire to many present day European countries. Will it also be the “End of the Road” (Boyz II Men) for our glorious nation? Not if enough of us speak the truth and never, never, ever give up defending Lady Liberty.

“I Second That Emotion” (Smokey Robinson & the Miracles).

County eyes keeping track of employee scheduling & hours worked with biometric system

By RogeR Amsden FORTHE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners have put off a decision on replacing the employee time clock currently used at the Belknap County Nursing Home with new biometric clocks that would allow virtually all county workers to check in and out of work by displaying their thumb. ‘’Time clock technology is a thing of the past,’’ County Finance Director Glenn Waring told commissioners when they met Wednesday morning.

Waring proposed that the county switch to Care Systems for software and services which would see six biometric clocks installed at county facilities and suggested that the county could use a $50,000 capital expenditures line in the 2013 budget to pay for most of the projected $69,400 cost for the new system.

Waring said that the current mechanical time and attendance system is used only within the nursing home, while record keeping in other department’s is basically pen and paper. He said that the current Kronos system creates an average of 20-25 percent errors weekly that require manual correction and that the system is difficult to navigate and programming changes are very costly as they are billed at a high hourly rate.

Care Systems has been used by Strafford County (Rochester) for seven years and changed a situation in which it took two days to compile time and attendance records for 400 employees to one in which the work is completed within two hours he said.

Waring said Belknap County’s goal is to implement a time and attendance record for all employees which will reduce errors and greatly improve payHOUSE from page 2 hanging from her neck. “We hear their cry. They are never forgotten in my heart. They are caterpillars, waiting to turn into a butterfly. They are never forgotten, they are loved.”

Knight said the array of balloons “represents all the millions of children that were never found and the ones that passed away that were never heard.”

There was applause as a relative of one victim represented the three and took the controls of the wrecking crane for the first smash into the top of the front wall. Later, as the house debris disappeared into the basement, church bells rang.

Police kept bystanders back to prevent souvenir hunting for the debris, which was carted off in trucks.

Rich Comp, 51, who used to live two doors from the Castro house, said he was sorry about the ordeal of the victims and hopes the demolition will help lift spirits.

“I feel sorry for the girls. They should tear it down,” he said.

Art McKoy, an anti-crime crusader who has organized vigils for missing persons, watched the demolition and wondered why residents hadn’t questioned the house’s barricades.

“The neighbors, if they had just paid a little more attention, and looked a little bit harder, they would have seen more and maybe we could have brought this to an end,” McKoy said.

Cummins, the city councilman, said some residents have taken advantage of mental health counseling arranged by the city.

“Many of them have lost a lot of sleep, lost their appetites in the first month or so,” Cummins said.

Prosecutors had intended to use $22,000 found in the house, including cash hidden in the washing machine, to pay for the demolition, but the work was donated.

Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said the money was offered to the victims, but they asked that it be used for the community.

McGinty said two adjacent houses would also be torn down and developed into a park or whatever the residents decide.

roll processing efficiency.

He said that the Care Systems software also provides a dynamic scheduling model which takes into account scheduling for positions which require minimum qualifications/licensing in both the Department of Corrections and Nursing Home, which will improve scheduling. It will also allow remote check-ins for workers who may not report directly to county facilities, like Sheriff’s Department deputies who may be serving court papers early in the day or who are called out for emergency details.

Commissioner Ed Philpot said that before com-

mitting any funds to the purchase he would like to see a list of other capital improvement priorities.

The $50,000 which was budgeted for capital improvements was slated for upgrades to the Sheriff’s Department communications system. But a $197,000 Department of Homeland Security grant which the county recently received has eliminated the department’s need for those funds.

Philpot also suggested that the county install the system for a trial period but was told that once the change was made there was no going back to the old system.

Main Street bridge project will be put out to bid this fall; city’s share expected to be about $1M

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers announced yesterday that the governor and Executive Council have approved the agreement between the city and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) for the reconstruction of the Main Street Bridge over the Winnipesaukee River.

The agreement sets the cost of the project at $3,569,1324, of which the state, through the State Aid Bridge Program, will contribute $2,055,307.

Another $800,000 will consist of Federal Highway Funds, leaving the city with the balance of $713,827, or a fifth of the total cost.

However, Myers explained that the state and city would share engineering costs of between $275,000 and $300,000, with the state bearing 80-percent and the city 20-percent of the costs. In addition, the city will bear the entire cost of widening the roadway on Beacon Street as it approaches the bridge to address the so-called “pinch point,” where large trucks must either ride over the curb or straddle two lanes in crossing the bridge.

Myers anticipated that these expenses would increase the city’s share of the total cost to approxi-

mately $925,000 while adding some $200,000 to the state’s contribution.

He said that the additional expenses would raise the total cost of the project to about $4.1-million. The 2013-2014 city budget includes an appropriation of $1-million for the project, which he anticipates will meet the city’s costs.

The project will be put out to bid after October 1, the beginning of the federal fiscal year when the Federal Highway Funds become available.

Construction would be scheduled to begin in the spring of 2014, proceed in four phases over two and be completed in 2015. Although downtown traffic will be re-routed in each of the four phases, the bridge itself will remain open throughout the construction.

Last month the City Council authorized spending up to $300,000 drawn from the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Fund on improvements to the plaza at the foot of Main Street in conjunction with the reconstruction of the bridge. This project, together with other similar improvements downtown, will likely be financed by the sale of general obligation bonds, which would be serviced by the annual revenue of at least $173,000 accruing to the TIF Fund.

LETTER from page one said yesterday that a letter specifying the circumstances that prompted the selectmen to initiate the removal proceedings and setting the ground rules for the public hearing will be mailed to Bartlett and Ryerson on Friday. He added that once the two have been informed the letter will be released to the public.

Meanwhile, Bartlett and Ryerson, together with Paul Punturieri, a third member of the Planning Board, have asked the chairman, Tom Howard, to convene a special meeting of the

board, a request the rules of the board entitle them to make. Howard has seven days to reply. Punturieri said yesterday that the three believe the board should discuss the matter.

Terenzini said that last month the selectmen voted during a non-public session to instruct the town counsel, Peter Minkow, and the town administrator to arrange a public hearing, which state law requires be held before removing appointed or elected members of either the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA). see next page

from preceding page He said that during the annual SoulFest event, which drew thousands to the resort last week, his department responded to 45 calls.

Wiggin said that there was also an increase in calls on other weekends in the campground area and that some of those calls were for domestic violence situations and fights, as well as assaults. There were also a number of responses for lost children. ‘’It is in our best interest to have a detail there every weekend,’’ Wiggin told the commissioners, pointing out that the it is actually less costly to patrol the area on weekends than to pay the cost of call-outs for each incident the department responds to.

Wiggin said that he was looking to have a conversation with Gregg Goddard, Gunstock’s general manager, about the situation and to try and work out some arrangement which would allow his department to have working space at Gunstock.

County Commissioner Steven Nedeau of Meredith, who worked as an officer with the Sheriff’s Department, observed that at one time the department regularly patrolled Gunstock on weekends. ‘’We used to have people burning picnic tables back then,’’ said Nedeau.

County Administrator Debra Shackett observed that the large number of calls were also a function of increased activity at Gunstock during the summer months, which is good for the area’s economy, but also has an impact on law enforcement and emergency responses by the Gilford Fire Department.

Commissioners also heard an update on the Belknap County Nursing Home from Mat Logue, home

administrator, who told them that revenues and admissions were up over last year due in large part to short term stays for physical, occupational and speech therapy.

In the first six months of the year there were 46 admissions compared to 12 in the same period last year with 43 discharges this year compared to 10 last year. Last year there was only one admission from Lakes Region General Hospital but this year there have been 23 from the hospital, mostly for shortterm stays.

The Belknap County Convention earlier this year approved a $200,000 supplemental appropriation for the nursing home to continue to provide the skilled nursing care which is reimbursed by Medicare at 14 percent above costs and is expected to generate an additional $200,000 net gain in nursing home revenue over the next year.

Logue said that as of yesterday all of the beds at the home were occupied and that the average for the year to date is seven empty beds a day.

He said that the nursing home expenses are currently $200,000 under what was budgeted for this time and that the nursing department is working to fill several vacancies.

Commissioners also approved the transfer of funds into three budget line items which will exceed the amount budgeted for them: — $4,500 for the Belknap County Convention, for legal costs and meeting costs; — $5,500 for the Finance Department to cover increased health insurance costs; — $10,500 for Department of Corrections salary account.

from preceding page He emphasized that the purpose of the hearing is for the selectmen to hear the case against the officials together with their rebuttal of the charges then decide if there is cause to remove them.

At the same time, Terenzini and Minkow were told to meet with Bartlett and Ryerson and offer them the opportunity to resign rather than undergo a public hearing. Both have flatly refused to resign and Bartlett, speaking to the selectmen when they met last week, said “I’m eager to have a public hearing.”

Bartlett and Ryerson have claimed that apart from a reference to the case of Bear’s Nest Trail, LLC, they have not be offered an explanation of the proceedings brought against them.

When Bartlett pressed the point with the selectmen last week, Terenzini countered that he was informed, but conceded that the letter would provide “greater specificity.” Likewise, Terenzini indicated that communications from “outside people,” who he declined to identify, contributed to the decision of the Selectboard to proceed against the two.

Yesterday Terenzini confirmed that the proceedings arose from the conduct of Bartlett and Ryerson when, on July 10, the Planning Board approved Bear’s Nest Trail LLC’s construction of an observation tower on the east slope of Red Hill. The firm built the tower without obtaining the requisite permits and, after not seeking permission and sought forgiveness, by asking the ZBA and Planning Board to approve the project after the fact.

The ZBA granted a variance and referred the case to the Planning Board for a conditional use permit (CUP), which required meeting 11 criteria.

The minutes record that Peter Jensen, the acting chairman, “polled” the seven members of the board on the 11 criteria. Two of the 11 failed when the board split evenly — three-to-three — with Bartlett abstaining and Ryerson voting no. However, neither believed it was the best interest of the town to require the structure be dismantled. Ryerson changed her “no” to “yes,” breaking the stalemate in the “poll,” and Bartlett offered a motion to grant the CUP, which carried five-to-two.

One of three ambulances at the scene of a midday 3-car accident on Route 11 in Gilford leaves toward Laconia and Lakes Region General Hospital on Wednesday. Two of the three vehicles involved are hidden from this view by the two ambulances in the background. The third is at far left. Authorities say one person was killed and four others were injured but police released no further details. The roadway was closed to through trafficfor over seven hours. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

FATAL from page one ously damaged. Carrier said the child was in a car seat that appeared to be properly installed and he said he “believes it significantly reduced the (child’s) injuries.”

He said the two other people in the silver sedan and the driver of one of the other vehicle needed to be extricated. The other driver was able to get out of his car.

Two young men who were visiting a friend who lives off Scenic Drive said they walked up through the woods and up the hill to the rest area to see what happened. They said the occupants of the home heard the crash.

“The silver car looked like a crushed beer car,” said

one of the men. He said they didn’t see any people except police and rescue workers near the cars.

They said the silver car was in the center of the road and from their vantage point, they were only able to see the Toyota and the dark sedan. The SUV was further west and was in the scenic pull off area.

In yesterday’s crash, police said they don’t think speed, alcohol or drugs were a factor.

The road was closed from noon until just 7:18 p.m. while BRAIT and Gilford Police investigated. Carrier said there was quite a bit of oil from the crash that needed to be absorbed before the road was reopened.

Traffic was re-routed down Scenic Drive.

FT HOOD from page 2 he argued, “is repugnant to defense counsel and contrary to our professional obligations.”

Poppe said he and the other standby lawyers want to take over the case, or if Hasan is allowed to continue on his own, they want their roles minimized so that Hasan couldn’t ask them for help with a strategy they oppose.

Hasan repeatedly objected, telling the judge:

“That’s a twist of the facts.”

The exchange prompted the judge, Col. Tara Osborn, to halt the long-delayed trial on only its second day. She must now decide what to do next, knowing that all moves she makes will be scrutinized by a military justice system that has overturned most soldiers’ death sentences in the last three decades. see next page

More & more Powerball players are looking for huge jackpots only

By Michael Kitch DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The allure of capturing the estimated $425 million Powerball jackpot had players in a buying frenzy Wednesday, further confirming a trend that lottery officials say has become the big ticket norm: Fatigued Powerball players, increasingly blase about smaller payouts, often don’t get into the game until the jackpot offers big bucks.

Meghan Graham, a convenience store worker from Brookline, Mass., has purchased nearly a dozen Powerball tickets in recent months thanks to the huge jackpots, and the third largest-ever pot was enough reason to buy again.

“The more it keeps increasing, that means nobody is winning ... a lot of people are gonna keep buying tickets and tickets and tickets and you never know, you just might get lucky if you pick the right numbers,” she said.

A recent game change intended to build excitement about the lottery increased the frequency of huge jackpots, and Wednesday’s jackpot drawing comes only a few months after the biggest Powerball jackpot in history — a $590 million pot won in Florida by an 84-year-old widow. The second largest Powerball jackpot was won in November and split between two tickets from Arizona and Missouri.

With a majority of the top 10 Powerball jackpots being reached in the last five years, lottery officials acknowledge smaller jackpots don’t create the buzz they once did.

“We certainly do see what we call jackpot fatigue,” said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association. “I’ve been around a long time, and remember when a $10 million jackpot in Illinois brought long lines and people from surrounding states to play that game.”

Tom Romero, CEO of the New Mexico Lottery and chairman of the Powerball Group, agreed.

“Many years ago, $100 million was really exciting and people would

immediately buy more, occasional players would start buying,” he said.

“Then the threshold was $200 million.

Now, we see here in New Mexico, we’re approaching the $300 million mark.”

The revamp of Powerball in January 2012 changed the price of a ticket from $1 to $2, a move that upped the chances of the game reaching a major jackpot. There was a loss in the number of players, but the new game — which also created more chances to win smaller, $1 million- and $2 million prizes — has brought in 52 percent more in sales, Strutt said. Sales were $5.9 billion in the fiscal year that ended in June.

Still, the way casual players define a major jackpot has changed. Behavioral economist George Loewenstein, who teaches at Carnegie Mellon University, said people judge things in relative terms.

“We compare things,” he said. “If there are a lot of jackpots, even though they’re all enormous numbers, people are going to start comparing them and if there are billion dollar jackpots, then 100 million jackpots that used to feel enormous are going to seem much smaller, even though in terms of the impact on your life of winning 100 million or 1 billion, it probably isn’t all that different.”

Though Lisa Ravenell, of Philadelphia, said she buys tickets randomly, she admits the higher jackpot catches her attention. She also noted the frequency of announcements about winners from the area, which she feels contributes to her wanting to buy.

“The 400 million is appealing” the 47-year-old said. “I think deep down inside, more or less, I’d buy it because it’s a big amount.”

So when jackpots swell, people still line up for their chance at a life-changing payoff, even though their chances at winning the top prize are the same if there is a small jackpot.

Felipe Piña, of Los Ojos, N.M., claimed a $62.8 million Powerball jackpot in May 2007 and frequently buys lottery tickets at the same rural convenience store where his Quick Pick method won big.

from preceding page Hasan faces a possible death sentence if convicted of the 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated for the attack on the Texas military post.

“I don’t envy her. She’s on the horns of a dilemma here,” said Richard Rosen, a law professor at Texas Tech University and former military prosecutor who attended the first two days of trial. “I think whatever she does is potentially dangerous, at least from the view of an appellate court.”

Rosen and other experts said that if Osborn allows Poppe and Hasan’s other standby defense attorneys to take over, the judge could be seen as having unfairly denied Hasan’s right to defend himself, a right guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. But if she lets Hasan continue defending himself, she could be depriving him of adequate help from experienced attorneys.

He also noted that it’s extremely rare for defendants to represent themselves in military court.

James E. French the subject of Moultonborough Historical Society meeting on August 12 M O U LT O N B O R OUGH — Judith Ryerson will be presenting a program about James E. “Jim” French on Monday, August 12 at 7 p.m. at the Lamprey House Museum on Rt. 25 in Moultonborough village.

Born in Tuftonboro in 1845, French was one of the most influential men in Moultonborough’s history. He held James E. French (Courtesy numerous local and photo) state offices during his lifetime, and perhaps his most lasting contribution has been the creation of the Moultonborough Public Library, which began in an upstairs room of what is now the Old Country Store in 1897.

French was the owner of the store at that time,

as well as one of the first three library trustees, and when he passed away in 1919, left the sum of $5,000 in his will for the construction of a library building.

His second wife, Martha French, gave to the town the land where the library now stands, and after accumulating additional funds, the library building was built in 1929. A plaque over the fireplace in the original part of the building gives credit to French, who “for many years spared no effort on behalf of the town of Moultonborough.” Appropriately, the program will be held in the Lamprey House Museum, which once belonged to Jim French and his father, also James French.

Among the other items on his resume, French was postmaster, town clerk, moderator, treasurer, school board, and member of the Masons, the Grange, and the Methodist Church. He was a state legislator, state senator, deputy collector for the Internal Revenue Service, and justice of the peace.

Report turkey hen sightings Community Land Trust surveys are in the mail LACONIA — Throughout August, the Laconia nonprofit organizations across the country interto Fish & Game website Area Community Land Trust (LACLT) is conductested in residents’ impressions and opinions on

CONCORD — The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is urging people to report sightings of hen turkeys, with or without young, from now through the end of August through its web-based turkey brood survey at http://www.wildnh.com/turkeybroodsurvey.

“August tends to be the most important month in the summer survey,” said Fish and Game biologist Ted Walski. “By August, those young who have survived are likely to become adults, so these sightings provide the best index to the summer breeding productivity.”

Most sightings will be of “multiple hen” broods during August. It is common for hen turkeys to join together with their young later in the summer. This joint brood flock will often have poults of various sizes.

“Don’t be surprised to observe some broods in August and September with small poults the size of quail or pigeons,” explained Walski. “Re-nesting is common with wild turkeys. If something causes nest destruction or abandonment during May/June, the majority of hens will go and lay another clutch of eggs and hatch out in July or August.”

Last summer’s survey yielded a total of 1,119 turkey broods reported from all parts of the state between May and August. So far, more than 400 turkey brood sightings have been reported.

The reporting period runs until August 31 and results will be posted on the Fish and Game website this fall. To report your turkey brood observations, go to http://www.wildnh.com/turkeybroodsurvey.

LACONIA — Tomatoes have taken over flower gardens, beans are sprouting next to the bee balm and more lawns and backyards are now filled with vegetables.

Even small gardens can produce an overabundance of vegetables at the peak of their harvest season. Preserving the overflow can help you store high-quality food for later use.

Canning, freezing and drying are the main methods of preserving homegrown, or locally grown, food.

The method(s) you choose depend on whether you can find safe preservation guidelines for the foods you want to preserve, whether you have the equipment and space needed to pro-

cess and store your garden crops, how much it will cost, and whether you and your family like the preserved products.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 8, 2013— Page 21

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Aug. 8, the 220th day of 2013. There are 145 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 8, 1963, Britain’s “Great Train Robbery” took place as thieves made off with 2.6 million pounds in banknotes.

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder of his days in exile.

In 1911, President William Howard Taft signed a measure raising the number of U.S. representatives from 391 to 433, effective with the next Congress, with a proviso to add two more when New Mexico and Arizona became states.

In 1937, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Japan completed its occupation of Beijing.

In 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who’d cooperated with authorities were spared.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed the U.S. instrument of ratification for the United Nations Charter. The Soviet Union declared war against Japan during World War II. In 1953, the United States and South Korea initialed a mutual security pact.

In 1968, the Republican national convention in Miami Beach nominated Richard Nixon for president on the first ballot.

In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as “damned lies” reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign — which he ended up doing.

In 1974, President Richard Nixon announced his resignation, effective the next day, following damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal.

In 1978, the U.S. launched Pioneer Venus 2, which carried scientific probes to study the atmosphere of Venus.

In 1993, in Somalia, four U.S. soldiers were killed when a land mine was detonated underneath their vehicle, prompting President Bill Clinton to order Army Rangers to try to capture Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

In 2007, space shuttle Endeavour roared into orbit with teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan on board.

Ten years ago: The Boston Roman Catholic archdiocese offered $55 million to settle more than 500 lawsuits stemming from alleged sex abuse by priests. (The archdiocese later settled for $85 million.)

Five years ago: China opened the Summer Olympic Games with an extravaganza of fireworks and pageantry. A charter bus crashed near Sherman, Texas, killing 17 members of a Vietnamese-American Catholic group en route to Missouri.

One year ago: Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi fired his intelligence chief for failing to act on an Israeli warning of an imminent attack days before militants stormed a border post in the Sinai Peninsula and killed 16 soldiers. Misty MayTreanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings of the United States became the first three-time gold medalists in Olympic beach volleyball history, beating Jennifer Kessy and April Ross 21-16, 21-16 in the allAmerican final.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

on your side and will be there when and if you ever need them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t waste your breath explaining yourself. You can’t tell people what to think about you.

What you say won’t matter. But what you inspire others to say about your message will matter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Hitchhikers walking toward their destination are more likely to be picked up than those standing in one place with a sign. Move toward your purpose, and someone is likely to give you a ride.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have an extensive list of things you need in order to tackle a project. Rip that list in half, and things will work out even better. Also consider how some people get by in life without many “essential” things.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 8). The restlessness you feel at the top of this new cycle quickly fuels an adventure that spans over the next seven weeks. You’ll thrive in a nontraditional setting in September. Public position is featured in November; you’ll obtain something that will be handed down to future generations. December brings creative rebirth.

Taurus and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 39, 4, 20 and 3.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When it happens easily, you usually take it as a sign that it was meant to be. Of course, there’s a difference between “easy” and “automatic.” What happens automatically could just be a bad habit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Readers are leaders. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always go both ways. If your leader today isn’t up on the latest literature in your area of interest, time will be wasted. Do your own research. Don’t take anyone’s word for granted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being aware of others will be tough if you’re dealing with too much personally. That’s why it’s never selfish to take excellent care of yourself.

Move commitments and clutter from your schedule to spend time nurturing yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t have to be graceful, artful or precise about it -- just get it done. The obstacles you overcome today will have a story of woe to tell once you’re done with them!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll like the exclusivity of today’s arrangement. Your Pulitzer Prize-winning sign mate Russell Baker noted, “People seem to enjoy things more when they know a lot of other people have been left out of the pleasure.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today has that road-trip feel: life blurring by and you trying to capture pieces of it from a rolleddown window. Of course, you could always pull over and stop awhile.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Mental escape is not quite as relaxing as physical escape, but when you’re as committed and busy as you are today, it will have to do. At least you can visit that happy place in your mind as often as possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A fascinating person doesn’t just talk to you; this person finds a way into the conversation and under your skin. You’ll be challenged and moved by the interaction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have advocates, not that you need defense or are trying to inspire passion in your devotees. But still it’s nice to know that people are

Dear Trying: There are kind ways to tell her. Grandma likely doesn’t notice her body odor. You need to let her know, nicely, that she needs to be more thorough. You can offer to help her shower; you can contact the Visiting Nurse Association (thevnacares.org) or hire a nurse’s aide to come regularly; you can discuss the possibility of remodeling her bathroom to make it more accessible; you can look into a transfer bench that lifts her into the tub area; you can bring her to your place if it has a shower stall or even to your local health club. Also, please check to be sure her laundry is getting done. (Offer to do it for her.) Finally, your family might want to discuss with Grandma the possibility of moving into a senior facility that is set up to alleviate such limitations.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Depressed in Hiding,” the 16-year-old high school girl who is depressed and anxious and has resorted to self-harm. She is afraid to tell her parents because she believes they will hate her.

My heart goes out to her. I, too, have battled depression and was afraid to seek help. It’s too easy to feel that no one will understand and they might even be angry.

But the truth is, admitting you need help is one of the most powerful things a person can do and is the first step in getting better. People DO understand.

If she is having suicidal thoughts, I strongly suggest she ask her parents to bring her to the local emergency room, where she could be seen by someone right away.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a 20-year-old college student and live at home during the summer with my mom and stepdad.

The problem is, my stepdad makes me uncomfortable.

He is a porn addict. He leaves girlie magazines all over the house and downloads porn on our home computer.

As if that isn’t awkward enough, he is always looking at my body. He also checks out my sisters. It is so unnerving that I refuse to wear shorts around him. Worst of all, I can’t wear a swimsuit, knowing he will be gawking at me.

I can’t go a day without worrying that he is ogling me.

What can I do? -- Not So Home Sweet Home Dear Not: What a charming father figure you have.

Is your mother aware that her husband checks you out and makes you uncomfortable? She should know. In the meantime, spend as little time around him as possible.

Don’t sunbathe in the backyard. Go to a friend’s house or to the local pool or beach. If you catch him staring at your body, confront him directly and tell him to stop. Also, talk to your sisters about his behavior and make sure they are OK. Don’t be afraid to speak up on their behalf.

Dear Annie: My grandma is 84 years old and still able to live independently. I spent time in her home a few years ago and discovered that she no longer showers because she is afraid of slipping. It also is too hard for her to step over the lip of the bathtub. She even bought a shower stool, but for whatever reason, she doesn’t use it.

Instead, she cleans herself with a rag and soap.

Grandma has a distinct body odor that is getting progressively worse, and it’s hard to be close to her. I think she’d want to know this, but I don’t want to hurt her feelings. Is there any way to politely tell her? -- Trying To Get Granny To Shower
