Weirs saloon not the only fire ravaged building in the city that’s still standing well after blaze By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — This September will mark the second anniversary of the three-alarm fire that ravaged the Wide Open Saloon at the crossroads of Weirs Beach. The city says the burned-out,
three-story, 126-year-old building is structurally unsound and has to come down. The building’s owner disagrees and has appealed court rulings allowing its demolition to the state Supreme Court. With the prospect of the appeals process dragging on for months, Weirs
Beach businesses have formally petitioned the city to do more to remove what they say clearly is a safety hazard and an eyesore. While the protracted saga of the Wide Open Saloon has been getting lots of attention, it is not the only burned-out build-
ing sitting derelict in the city. City officials say there are another five buildings, gutted by fires in the recent past, which remain unoccupied and where to date little to nothing has been done to make them livable again. Meanwhile, they see FIRe page 10

British auction house claims it’s selling vial of Ronald Reagan’s blood
LONDON (AP) — A Channel Islands auction house says it’s selling a vial that allegedly contains blood residue from Ronald Reagan — a move denounced Tuesday by the late U.S. president’s family and his foundation. The vial being auctioned online was used by the laboratory that tested Reagan’s blood when he was treated at George Washington University hospital after a 1981 assassination attempt in Washington, the PFCAuctions house said. Reagan’s son Michael condemned the auction but said he was confident it was not his father’s blood. “Whatever’s in the vial — could be mouse blood — it’s certainly not Reagan blood,” Reagan said in a telephone call from Los Angeles. “And what an outrageous thing to do to (Reagan’s widow) Nancy and the family. I hope the world calls on this organization to cease and desist because it’s so bogus.” “Even if it were true, how dare they, how dare they do such a thing?”

2010 census said to have missed 1.5-million minorities WASHINGTON (AP) — The 2010 census missed more than 1.5 million minorities after struggling to count black Americans, Hispanics, renters and young men, but was mostly accurate, the government said Tuesday. The Census Bureau released an extensive assessment of its high-stakes, once-adecade headcount of the U.S. population. Based on a sample survey, the government analysis has been a source of political controversy in the past over whether to “sta-
tistically adjust” census results to correct for undercounts, which usually involve minorities who tend to vote Democratic. The findings show the 2010 census overcounted the total U.S. population by 36,000 people, or 0.01 percent, due mostly to duplicate counts of affluent whites owning multiple homes. That is an improvement from a census over-count of 0.5 percent in 2000. However, the census missed about 2.1 percent of black Americans and 1.5 percent of Hispanics, together accounting for some 1.5
million people. The percentages are statistically comparable to 2000, despite an aggressive advertising and minority outreach effort in 2010 that pushed total census costs to an unprecedented $15 billion. Also undercounted were about 5 percent of American Indians living on reservations and nearly 2 percent of minorities who marked themselves as “some other race.” “While the overall coverage of the census was exemplary, the traditional hard-tosee CENSUS page 9
CBO warns ending tax cuts & cutting spending will send U.S. off ‘fiscal cliff’
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new government study released Tuesday says that allowing Bush-era tax cuts to expire and a scheduled round of automatic spending cuts to take effect would probably throw the economy into a recession. The Congressional Budget Office report says that the economy would shrink by 1.3 percent in the first half of next year if the government is allowed to fall off this so-called “fiscal cliff” on Jan. 1 — and that the higher tax rates and more than $100 billion in automatic cuts to the Pentagon
and domestic agencies are kept in place. There’s common agreement that lawmakers will act either late this year or early next year to head off the dramatic shift in the government’s financial situation. But if they were left in place, CBO says it would wring hundreds of billions of dollars from the budget deficit that would “represent an additional drag on the weak economic expansion.” CBO projected that the economy would contract by 1.3 percent in the first half of 2013, which would meet the traditional defi-
nition of a recession, which is when the economy shrinks for two consecutive quarters. “Such a contraction in output in the first half of 2013 would probably be judged to be a recession,” CBO said. The economy would rebound at a 2.3 percent growth rate in the second half of the year, however, under CBO projections. At issue is the full expiration of two rounds of major tax cuts enacted during the Bush administration and automatic spending cuts on the Pentagon and domestic prosee CBO page 15

N.H. Supreme Court In N.H., Biden dismisses Romney’s business won’t hold up filing period experience as qualification for president while is decides House redistricting challenges
CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s Supreme Court is letting candidates file for office this June despite five lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the Republican plan to redraw House districts. The court on Tuesday denied a request to delay the filing period’s June 6 opening. The court said if the plaintiffs win, the filing period may have to be rescheduled. But the court said though costly and inconvenient, rescheduling the filing period did not constitute irreparable harm. The Republican Legislature passed the plan over Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s veto. Lynch said each town and city ward with sufficient population deserved a representative but the plan failed to do that. He said 62 towns and wards deserved their own seats but did not get one. The court hears oral arguments in the case June 6.
High court grants Seabrook power plant some exemptions from local property taxes CONCORD (AP) — The owners of the Seabrook power plant cannot get tax exemptions on facilities that operate only in emergencies, though it can claim them on systems that run regularly, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled unanimously Tuesday. The ruling is the latest step in a fight that began when the plant’s operator, NextEra Energy, renewed its application for the tax exemptions in 2010 and the town objected. But the state ruled in 2011 that 21 facilities at the plant were eligible for exemptions to some extent, citing New Hampshire law that says a treatment facility is tax exempt if it is used to control, reduce or eliminate any source of water or air pollution. The state’s ruling increased the plant’s tax break more than 80 percent, a move that Seabrook officials say would shift a $2.2 million tax burden from the plant to taxpayers. Lawyers for the town argued to the court that there was no justification for such an increase. The court in its decision agreed with the part of the state ruling that said facilities that serve a valid pollution control purpose are tax exempt. Others that operate only in the event of an emergency, such as a loss-of-coolant accident, are not, the court ruled. The court rejected NextEra Energy’s arguments that the facilities that operate in emergencies only must be in place and thus operate regularly as backstops during an emergency situation. “In short, for a facility to be considered a treatment facility, it must regularly operate,” Justice Gary Hicks wrote. Seabrook Town Manager Barry Brenner says the town is pleased with the ruling and will continue to maintain its good working relationship with the plant’s owners. Lawyers for the plant did not immediately return calls seeking comment. It is not known what portion of the $2.2 million tax break NextEra Energy gets to retain. The court ruled the containment tower, containment spray system, containment cooling system and combustible gas control system were not treatment facilities eligible for tax exemption. The plant is cooled by water drawn from the ocean and then returned to the ocean. The court ruled that discharge tunnels that carry that heated water into deeper waters in the ocean are tax exempt because those tunnels are designed to protect the Hampton Harbor marsh and estuarine system. The court also upheld tax exemptions for the plant’s storm-water runoff and treatment system. The court said the boron recycling system and the see SEABROOK page 14
KEENE — The presidential campaign debate over Republican Mitt Romney’s tenure at a private equity firm is going down the drain. Vice President Joe Biden argued Tuesday that Romney’s experience doesn’t make him any more qualified to be president than it does to make him a plumber. “That doesn’t mean that private equity guys are bad guys — they’re not,” Biden said at New Hampshire’s Keene State College. “But that no more qualifies you to be president than being a plumber. And, by the way, there’re an awful lot of smart plumbers. All kidding aside, it’s not the same job requirement.” Romney argues that his business experience with the Boston-based firm Bain Capital makes him best suited to fix the economy and create jobs.
Biden’s fourth trip to New Hampshire this year was an acknowledgment of the state’s battleground status in the upcoming election. Though he briefly criticized Romney on social issues such as contraception and touched on Romney’s lack of foreign policy experience, most of his speech was devoted to echoing what Obama has been saying this week — that Romney’s success making money for investors at Bain Capital is not reason alone to be elected president. The Romney campaign has called such criticism a distraction, an affront to free markets and a misreading of the firm’s success. The campaign released a Web video last week featuring workers from an Indiana company that benefited from Bain’s see BIDEN page 14

Tom Clairmont receives Lifetime Achievement Award at EMS banquet By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Tom Clairmont, LRGHealthcare president and CEO, received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual LRGHealthcare EMS Awards Banquet last night at Lakes Region General Hospital. Clairmont, who this fall will mark 41 years of work with the hospital, got his start in emergency medical service as a volunteer with the Belmont Fire Department while still in high school and was instrumental in helping the department develop its own ambulance service. Former Belmont Fire Chief Albert Ackerstrom recalled that when the town faced the loss of its contracted ambulance service in the 1970s it was Clairmont who was able to arrange for the fire department to acquire and equip and ambulance so that a fire department which had been reluctant to take on that responsibility was able to do so. He recalled that Clairmont was among those responding to the first emergency calls the department handled and how well he performed in that role, even though the first seven calls all were for heart attack victims, including one former firefighter, all of whom died. Henry Lipman, senior vice president and chief financial officer at LRGHealthcare, said that Clairmont’ was truly deserving of the award for his long involvement in all aspects of health care and that he has ‘’a lifetime of achievement.’’ Dr. David Strang said that in his

23 years as a doctor he has worked at eight or nine hospitals and has seen few which could approach the level of care provided by emergency medical services at LRGHealthcare which was fortunate tio have an executive ‘’who understands the value of high quality pre-hospital care.’’ LRGHealthcare and the Laconia Fire Department have been partners in providing emergency medical services ever since 1997, according to Deputy Chief Shawn Riley. Under an arrangement developed with the firefighters union
and LRGH, which was designed to avert layoffs, LRGHealthcare pays the salaries of Riley and the top four paramedics in the department. Riley says that is a unique arrangement which helps provide for better patient care and through the education and training programs which are offered has sharply increased the survival rate of heart attack victims. Clairmont said that he has experienced first-hand the quality of care at the hospital. “This organization saved my life 16 years ago,’’ said Clairmont,
who said that big challenges are ahead in health care. ‘’The next five years are going to change all we know. What I know is that we’re going to come out of it strong.’’ said Clairmont. Unit Citation awards were presented to the Alton, Gilford and Laconia fire departments at the ceremony. Alton was honored for helping save the life of heart-attack victim Jim Riley, who on December 1 of last year suffered a heart attack while working on a roofing project in Alton. His co-worker, Lynn Shull, was able to call 9-1-1 and received instruction on how to provide chest compressions until help arrived. The Alton crew defibrillated Riley and immediately he had a viable heart rhythm. He was taken to Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro and later airlifted to Dartmouth Medical Center in Lebanon, where it was determined he had a 100-percent blockage in one of his arteries. Surgeons implanted a stent and, Riley was home recuperating in just one week. Both he and Shull helped present the award to the Alton Fire Department rescue crew last night. Another Unit Citation went to the Gilford Fire Department for its action in saving the life of a participant in last August’s Timberman Triathlon, Scott Boudreau of New Bedford, Mass., who was stricken with a heart attack during the bicycle competition. Firefighter-EMT Pat McGonagle was taking part in Saturday’s sprint event during the Triathlon when he see next page
Crowd gathers but Blackhawk does not come down at LRGH on Tuesday LACONIA — What was supposed to be an unusual landing of a large military helicopter at the Lakes Region General Hospital ended up being a giant bust. Nearly 50 people who came to Highland Ave. to witness the event on Tuesday morning went home disappointed. Two city officials informed The Daily Sun late Monday that what may be a Blackhawk helicopter landing in the employee parking lot at LRGH as part of a training exercise and asked the paper to run a short story informing citizens so they would not be alarmed. Instead, for reasons not disclosed to the paper, the chopper never landed
and the reason for the unusually large number of fire personnel at the hospital a mid-morning was apparently to facilitate the transfer of a patient to another hospital. Media representatives were told by hospital public relations staff the patient would not be brought from the emergency exit until they vacated the area. Reporters were told that a number of on-lookers had gone into the front desk area of the hospital seeking information about the helicopter and security had notified city police, who dispersed the gathering. — Gail Ober
from preceding page saw a male bicyclist ahead of him start to wobble and then go down. The cyclist landed on the pavement face first, making no effort to break his fall, and McGonagle pulled his bicycle over and rushed to aid the victim, whom he determined was in cardiac arrest and suffering from a secondary head/face injury. McGonagle called 9-1-1 and immediately started CPR and continued until an ambulance arrived. Boudreau was defribillated twice and a cardiac rhythm was restored. He was then transported to Lakes Region General Hospital and later taken to a Boston hospital. McGonagle continued in the race and did finish, despite the emergency delay. McGonagle was presented with the Paul Racicot Award for his actions and Deputy Chief Riley read a letter from Boudreau, saying that he would have liked to been at last night’s ceremony but was instead at his 13-year-old
son’s awards ceremony in New Bedford, something which was made possible for hom only by the life saving efforts of McGonagle and other Gilford EMTs. The Laconia Fire Department received a Unit Citation for its efforts on March 10 of this year in responding to a reported heart attack in blizzardlike conditions on Plantation Road where an ambulance started sliding down an icy road and the crew had to abandon it and make its way on foot to the home of the victim. Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson said the department worked closely with the Laconia Police and Public Works and highway departments to get the road cleared and arrange for a second ambulance to take the victim, who was in severe respiratory distress, to the hospital. The EMS Provider of the Year Award was presented to Lt. Mike Balcolm of the Gilford Fire Department and the EMS Service of the Year went to the Franklin Fire Department.

What if Zimmerman walks away a free man? Three months ago, George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla., shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Handcuffed, taken in and interrogated, Zimmerman told police Trayvon had been acting suspiciously that dark and rainy night, that he had followed Trayvon, been knocked down and battered on the ground, and, fearing for his life, pulled a concealed handgun and shot him. Sanford police and prosecutors concluded that Zimmerman acted in self-defense and had not committed a provable felony. They let him go. A racial firestorm followed. “Blacks are under attack,” railed Jesse Jackson. “Killing us is big business.” Arriving in Sanford, the reverend dialed it up. Trayvon was “shot down in cold blood by a vigilante ... murdered and martyred.” Rep. Maxine Waters’ charge of “hate crime” was echoed by radio talker Joe Madison. Rep. Hank Johnson said Trayvon had been “executed.” The Grio compared his killing to the lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955. The New Black Panther Party put Zimmerman’s face on a “Wanted Dead or Alive” poster, called for 5,000 black men to run him down and said Trayvon had been “murdered in cold blood.” Spike Lee twittered Zimmerman’s home address. Zimmerman and his family have been in hiding for months in fear for their lives after the death threats. President Obama expressed his empathy with the parents. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon. And I think (the parents) are right to expect that all of us as Americans are gonna take this with the seriousness it deserves and that we’re going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.” Obama said not a word to cool the lynch-mob atmosphere created by some of his major allies in a nation where he is the chief law enforcement officer. And so the campaign to convict Zimmerman of racist murder in the public mind, before he ever got to trial, proceeded on. Rep. Jan Schakowsky called Trayvon’s killing a “modern-day lynching.” CNN claimed to have picked up the phrase “(bleeping) coons” on the tape of Zimmerman’s call to police, but had to retract when an enhanced version of the tape revealed no such slur. Three times NBC used a version of Zimmerman’s call to the police edited to make it appear he racially profiled Trayvon. The actual version: Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining, and he’s just walking around, looking about.” Dispatcher: “OK, and this guy, is he white, black or Hispanic?” Zimmerman: “He looks black.” The transcript was spliced to have
Zimmerman say: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.” CNN media critic Howard Kurtz called it “blatant distortion.” Caught and called out, three NBC employees were cashiered. With this wind at her back, Florida State Attorney Angela Corey charged Zimmerman with seconddegree murder. Translation: Zimmerman murdered Trayvon in a “depraved” state of mind. If convicted, he could get life. Last week came a more ominous report. Federal investigators are looking into hate crime charges that could bring the death penalty. The feds would have to prove Zimmerman stalked and murdered Trayvon because he was black. Yet, last week also, evidence from the investigation spilled out into the national media and seemed to contradict and swamp the prosecution’s case. A medical report the day after the shooting revealed that Zimmerman had suffered a broken nose, two black eyes and lacerations on the back of his head. Photographs from the night of the shooting confirmed it. A police report that same night said Zimmerman’s sweatshirt had “grass stains and was wet on the back,” consistent with his being flat on his back. The lead investigator on the scene, Officer Christopher Serino, wrote that Zimmerman could be heard “yelling for help as he was being battered by Trayvon Martin.” One witness said he heard 14 separate cries for help. Trayvon’s father initially told police the cries were not those of his son, then recanted. One responder at the scene said he saw wounds on the knuckles of one of Trayvon’s hands, suggesting he had connected with a punch. The coroner found both the knuckle wounds and traces of the drug found in marijuana in Trayvon’s blood and urine. Trayvon’s hoodie had powder stains indicating he was shot in the chest from 1 to 18 inches away, consistent again with what Zimmerman said. Another eyewitness said the guy in the hoodie was on top beating the guy on the bottom “MMA style” — mixed martial arts style. With this evidence, how can a jury convict Zimmerman of murder? Yet the public mind has been so poisoned that an acquittal of George Zimmerman could ignite a reaction similar to that, 20 years ago, when the Simi Valley jury acquitted the LAPD cops in the Rodney King beating case. Should that happen, those who fanned the flames, and those who did nothing to douse them, should themselves go on trial in the public arena. (Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000.)
LETTERS Millions of Americans will lose employer-sponsored health insurance To the editor, The Kaiser Foundation reports that about 80-percent of mothers choose their children’s doctors. Dr. Scott W. Atlas asserts that Obamacare’s 2700 pages of new law, passed largely unread and without any Republican support, will directly hurt women and is perplexed at the lack of attention to this vital point. Well, I have your answer for that one, doc: mainstream media, Hollywood, Democrat lapdogs, Republican sheep dogs and a lack of transparency. Dr. Atlas is a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. According to the Congressional Budget Office and employers themselves, millions of families will lose employer-sponsored health insurance. Another 20-million folks will move into Medicaid. That would be the grossly underfunded program that nearly half of doctors and about 60-percent obstetricians and gynecologists refuse to accept as insurance. Women with increasing numbers now participate in consumer driven health savings accounts. Dr. Atlas says these will be essentially eliminated by Obamacare’s actuarial requirements. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 56-percent of new enrollees are females.We have Kathleen Sebelius, Health & Human Services secretary, declaring that all employers must include medical abortion coverage. This is a prime example of the pure essence of Obamacare, showing how our government will be the sole authority over our health care decisions. As Dr. Atlas notes, “because government decides what must be included in health insurance and who must pay for it”. No report about the best intentions of progressive liberals would be complete without the inevitable and harmful effects of the “unintended consequences” of their “we know what’s best for you” policies. In this case, they thought by imposing a $2,000 per employee penalty on businesses employing more than 50 employees who did not provide insurance, they had devised the perfect “enforcement mechanism”. Well, wouldn’t you know, the House Ways and Means Committee has discovered it will have the opposite effect. According to Rep. Dave Camp, MI, “When it comes to
the bottom line, companies could save billions of dollars by ceasing to offer health insurance while simultaneously placing millions of Americans on taxpayer-funded exchanges”. Emily Miller of the Washington Times says, “as a result, up to 6-million Americans with jobs could either be forced to find more expensive individual plans or go uninsured and pay the individualmandate fine”. Alas, no report on best intentions from the “leftist” gang would be complete without a lucrative example of “crony capitalism”. That would be the concept they assert that only Republicans have in their mercenary repertoire. Please do not be shocked if you have not heard this in the mainstream news. The giant pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer, Merck and others in the pharma gang, cut a deal with our President. Dr. Al Sears, MD reports they offered a blatant bribe of $100-billion in additional taxes and discounts. In return, those forced to become insured would be able to buy the drugmakers’ pills using the coverage. In more exciting news, Dr. Sears tell us, “today, more than one out of every six dollars in the FDA’s budget already comes from companies this government agency is supposed to be policing”. Geez, just imagine relying on revenue from the same companies you are supposed to have “influence over”, wink, wink. Sounds to me like incestuous, socialist-style crony capitalism high on drugs. Dr. Atlas gives us his bottom line: “When government has the power to control health care, the result is always rationing of care by limiting access. In such systems all over the world, individual choice always takes a back seat to government dictates”. Can there be any doubt, under Obamacare, women and senior citizens, among others will be taking it on the chin. Jonah Goldberg exclaims in exasperation, “It’s amazing that liberals and libertarians can see eye to eye on ending federal bullying on the sale of raw milk, but liberals see no threats from a federal takeover of health care and the transformation of insurers into de facto branches of the government”.

LETTERS Social Security not an ‘entitlement’, its a benefit we’ve earned
If Scott Walker wins the express train of runaway unions ends
To the editor, Memo to Tony Boutin and others who oppose Social Security and Medicare: they can rant all they want, it will NEVER BE REPEALED, so as my mother use to say, GET OVER YOUSELVES. To continue to trash a program that has served millions of people with benefits they have earned with hard work over the years shows no useful purpose. I can agree, it is in trouble , but it can be fixed. I know there are people who are scamming the system, who with the help of the “bottom feeders” use excuses such as fatigue — yep being tired — to collect benefits. By the way, for those of us who have WORKED all our lives, this is not an ENTITLEMENT program, but a BENEFIT we have earned. First, it will take political courage such as raising Social Security and Medicare taxes as the conservatives
To the editor, The second most important election of the year happens in two weeks. On June 5th, Republican, Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin, faces off against democrat, Tom Barrett. If it were wrestling it would be called a locked door, wire cage event with no holds barred. A kick in the groin could be the winning blow or maybe a strangle hold. Actually, killing the opponent in this election is okay if Democrats have their way. Democrats rounded up the needed 900,000 signatures to get this recall election with the names of registered felons and drug addicts among them. Such people know who are weak on demanding individual responsibility for one’s actions. This is a grudge match in every sense of the word. Last year, Walker asked public union employees to pay a few bucks of their health insurance, an amount that matched what private workers typically contribute and cut back on their union bargaining rights that were BANKRUPTING tax payers and the state. Teachers would hear not a word of it despite the fact the state offers the highest teacher wage/ benefit packages of any in America, averaging $100,000. Teachers were not going to let the gravy train stop. Large crowds gathered at the capital and behaved like spoiled brats who had been told “no more candy for a while.” Many were arrested. Obama’s election team trucked in rabble rousers and trouble makers from miles away to make the protest appear even larger. Walker required round the clock body guard protection from teachers and placards were visible with Walker’s picture in rifle cross hairs. Countless millions are being funneled into the election, from where? UNION headquarters of course. Walker stopped the collection of UNION DUES. Funny, when employers stop deducting union dues, 50-per-
political guru Mr. Ronald Reagan did in 1982, with the help of “Tip O’Neill. They understood, unlike the naysayers of today that this program was vital and needed to be saved. Second, It will need professions to run the program, not the “political “ hacks that are there today. Third, changes will be needed in the quarters requirement that is in effect today, and will have to include all citizens including those applying for “disability”. Finally, it MUST, along with Medicare , be separate from the federal budget and be in a “lock box” with investments approved by the professionals that will be in charge. We have to keep Congress away from these revenues . These two programs can continue with proper management and provide benefits well in to the twenty first century. Bill Knightly Gildord
Our New Hampshire leaders need to focus on what business needs To the editor, The New Hampshire House has done the citizens of New Hampshire a tremendous disservice by attaching a woman’s health care bill to a Senate passed research and development tax bill. Ironically, many of these legislators ran on a promise of focusing like a laser on New Hampshire’s economy. Passing the R&D bill, which would double and make permanent progrowth tax incentives, sends a clear message to businesses looking to start up or relocate in New Hampshire — New Hampshire is open for business. It’s bipartisan legislation that will attract the entrepreneurs who can create the products and high-paying jobs of the future. By attaching disparate legislation, it sends the message that our elected leaders are willing to sacrifice our economy to advance a social agenda that is obsessed with limiting women’s access to health
care. The legislature should allow women to make health care decisions privately, without government interference and start fulfilling their campaign promises. If New Hampshire is to lead our nation during this tenuous economic recovery, our leaders must focus on what businesses need. New Hampshire businesses will benefit from progrowth tax incentives, a well-educated workforce and a sound infrastructure. Unfortunately, by hijacking the R&D bill, doubling tuitions at our universities and community colleges and underfunding our highways, our legislature is putting their extreme, shortsighted ideological agenda ahead of jobs and economic growth. New Hampshire deserves better. Andrew Hosmer Laconia Candidate N.H. State Senate
Think before you decide to bring your pets along on errand trips To the editor, Summer is finally here, and already people are bringing their dogs to stores — locking them in their cars, sometimes with windows open a crack, sometimes not at all. I don’t understand this. It is against the law to leave children unattended in vehicles — for many reasons, including extreme temperatures. Therefore, why would one leave their four-legged family members locked in cars, while they heat up, as the animals pant and are obviously distressed and suffering? A vehicle is like an oven, conducting heat, and becoming extremely hot, in a short amount of time. Please consider leaving your ani-
mals at home while running errands, and don’t think that you’ll be back in a few minutes, doesn’t matter. It does. Your pet isn’t just glad to see you, it’s trying to stay alive. The Animal Protection Institute, at PO Box 22505, Sacramento,CA 95822 ( www.api4animals.org) offers information cards to remind pet owners not to lock their pets in vehicles. Please think before you feel you must bring your pet to run errands. Leave it home, safe and alive. We have pets because we care for them; locking them in overheated cars isn’t a good choice.

from preceding page “Obamacare is the first time Congress has used its power to regulate commerce to produce a law from which there is no escape”. I believe George Will perfectly sums up the deadly, serious gravity of the Supreme Court’s impending decision. “IJ correctly says that if the court were to ratify Con-
gress’ disregard for settled contract law, Congress’ ‘power to compel contractual relations would have no logical stopping point’. Which is why this case is the last exit ramp on the road to unlimited government.” Everyone paying attention now? Russ Wiles Tilton
cent of the union employees STOP PAYING THEM. Maybe some Democrat can explain WHY? This match-up is the preliminary to the main event in November between Mitt, the challenger, and Obama, the bruised and battered defender of his title. This Wisconsin election will be a bell weather. It will supply the winning side significant momentum heading into prime time. It is going to be a nail biter. The latest poll has Walker leading 50-percent to 44-percent with a 4-percent margin of error. It is apt to be a photo finish. Obama won Wisconsin in 2008 by 16 points. No such margin today. He and Mitt are dead even at 44-percent each. If Walker wins this duel Obama is likely to lose Wisconsin in November. What is certain is THIS. If Scott Walker wins, the express train of runaway union wage and benefit costs that have plagued just about every state budget for years, will END. This will help preserve some semblance of living standards for millions of taxpayers. States will find it possible to balance budgets without having to cut every program they try to support. If Democrat Barrett wins, every nonpublic union worker in America might as well file for bankruptcy or understand they are going to lead economic lives as second class citizens compared to those who work for towns , the state or the federal government. There are countless studies already that prove beyond logical debate that public sector employees are paid well more for same skill level of work with benefits far better than private sector employees. Voting Republican is a vote against the two-tier living standard and the inequality that has risen between public union employees and the private work force. That is really what the June 5th “smack down” in Wisconsin is all about. Tony Boutin Gilford
Right wingers want to run our economy like a road with no limits To the editor, Mitt Romney will probably lose N.H. In the last year, Romney has gone from a 9-point lead to a 1- point deficit (See publicpolicypolling.com). Only 36-percent of our residents view Romney favorably. People see Romney as a vulture capitalist, not an ethical venture capitalist. People see him as lacking both empathy and people skills, which is blatantly apparent. People see him as a person suffering from chronic logorrhea who has not a clue what a measured and thoughtful response is. People see him as a conniving opportunist who says whatever he needs to say to win the day. Romney is so thick he doesn’t realize that we all can view videos of him saying he would be more gay friendly than Ted Kennedy. That said, it is a pleasure for me to see that the corporatist nonsense of the far right is not getting anywhere. Letters from Don Ewing and Tony Boutin are great examples of these talking points that are doled out to the right wing faithful. Don Ewing’s latest letter about the risks of doing business was hilarious in light of what has happened in the economy. Was he asleep in 2008-2009 when the market crashed? One has to
wonder what is in the tea. Shrooms? The crash of 1929 occurred because of the lack of targeted regulation, especially in the way banks use our money which they are entrusted with. High risk gambling isn’t usually our plan. The Glass-Steagal Act which was titled “An act to provide for the safer and more effective use of the assets of banks, to regulate interbank control, to prevent the undue diversion of funds into speculative operations, and for other purposes.” was passed in 1933 by overwhelming majorities. In 1999, Congress passed the repeal of that law. Is it any wonder that the return of unbridled “speculative operations and other purposes” were also the main cause of the deepest and longest recession since the 1930s. Running an economy the way the right wingers would have it would be like having no speed limits on the roads. This pie-in-the-sky economic worldview completely ignores the unshaven beast in the room: Human Nature! It blows my mind that the right wing seeks to return to the policies that wrecked the economy.

LETTERS Shutting all off from dump ‘picking’ because of actions on 1 is not fair To the editor, Dear Gilford selectmen and residents: Many years ago I worked with Sheldon Morgan to set up recycling, and to me more important, the “Goodies Exchange”, to allow people to get rid of good things they no longer needed, so others who could use them would get them free. That relates with the time honored “Dump picking”. As Sheldon Morgan explains, it has been extremely useful for many people in need, as well as greatly reducing our waste. A while back ONE particular woman apparently was taking a surprising amount of stuff, which was good for cleaning out the excess, but at some time there were conflicts. Shel-
don tells me he suspected (no proof) she was selling the stuff (a noble mission), and thus, rather than find out what she was doing, he shut her off by SHUTTING OFF EVERYONE IN TOWN except for Saturday, likely impossible for those in need or many of the product sources! So, Sheldon doesn’t like what he suspects ONE woman is doing (without proof), so he shuts down a well PROVEN function for ALL except those who can get there on Saturday! HOW FAIR is that? Sheldon assures me that our selectmen agree. If so, they are just as negative. Please let the selectmen know your attitude on these. Jack Stephenson Gilford
As long as we think problem is ‘them’ we won’t even see it coming To the editor, In response to Hillarie Goldstein support of Leo Sandy’s column on Parenting in Nazi Germany. Knowledge is one thing; knowing what to do with it is wisdom and quite another matter. I have walked with the Lord long enough and have had enough cross cultural experiences to know that each culture has inequities that they are more susceptible to than other cultures. What I do with that knowledge has to do with wisdom or lack of it. Some use it as a justification for race prejudice. Some use this knowledge to enrich their cross cultural friendships. Good child rearing if one can teach
it effectively is a boon to parent and child alike to as many as can receive it. Yet Leo chooses to single out Germans in order in order to project blame on “people on the far right” for bad parenting and in the process he does a disservice to both groups. A more profitable query might be what inequity am I susceptible to and what inequities we as a nation are susceptible to today, for therein will the devil attack. As long as we think the problem is “them”, we won’t even see it coming. In response Thomas Lemay’s letter, it could happen here Tom if we are not vigilant. John Demakowski Franklin

Supreme Court rules Baldi has no right to view fire marshal’s records of Sept. 2010 Wide Open Saloon fire BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — The Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision yesterday and ruled that the owner of the Wide Open Saloon at Weirs Beach does not have access to any fire reports prepared by the state fire marshal beyond those she has already been provided. Brandi Baldi, the owner of the burned out landmark Weir Beach restaurant and motel, had filed a Right to Know suit against the N.H. State Fire Marshal claiming, among other things, the office of the fire marshal was not a law enforcement agency and could not withhold its findings by citing a provision in both the state and federal freedom of information laws that says law enforcement agencies can withhold information as long as it relates to an ongoing investigation that has a reasonable chance of resulting in criminal charges. “I have reasonable belief that this investigation will lead to criminal charges,” wrote Fire Marshal William O. Clark in an affidavit dated June 6, 2011 and included in the supporting documents in Baldi’s Right-to-Know suit. At the time, Laconia Police Chief Christopher Adams confirmed there is an open investigation into the fire but declined to comment further, citing the same statute. Although unavailable for comment yesterday, during other interviews Adams has said the investigation remains open and active and therefore not up for discussion. Though the Wide Open Saloon burned on September 17, 2010, much to the chagrin of city officials and the Weirs business community the charred remains of one of the most prominent buildings in the area still stand. Nearly 100 members of the Weir community submitted a petition to the City Council last week asking its members to try and expedite the legal machinations surrounding the demolition of the former hotel and restaurant now considered by most to be an eyesore and by some to be dangerous. Led by realtor and longtime Weir resident John Ganong, the group told councilors last week that while it is tragic that the family, who they consider good people, lost its business, with but 16 weeks to earns an entire year’s living available to remaining Weirs businesses, the burned hulk in such a visible location is “absolutely a disgrace.” There are four separate civil lawsuits regarding the former Wide Open Saloon, including the one just settled by the Supreme Court. In the second, filed in late May of 2011, N.H. 4th Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll ordered the building demolished within the month, however Baldi appealed his decision to the Belknap County Superior Court. Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O’Neill III upheld Carroll’s order but Baldi appealed his decision to the N.H. Supreme Court,
which has agreed to hear the case but has not yet scheduled it for oral arguments. In the third suit, the company that installed the fire suppression system at the the Wide Open Saloon sued Baldi in Merrimack county for nonpayment, while Baldi has a fourth civil suit filed against Lloyd’s of London, her fire insurance underwriter that has refused to pay her claim because its representatives insist the contractual agreements for fire suppression and alarms were not met. What is known is that around 9 p.m. on September 16, 2010, the evening before the blaze, the restaurant fire alarm sounded bringing first responders from the Weirs Beach Fire Station to the building within minutes. The cause of the alarm was said to possibly be something knocking against a smoke detector on the second floor, lending some credence to a later theory that there had been a squatter staying in one of the rooms on that floor without Baldi’s knowledge or permission. Dept. Fire Chief Deb Pendergast said reports indicated that one of the rooms appeared to be occupied, that the television was on, the door ajar, and the bed disheveled. In her only interview to the media since the blaze, Baldi said she and her staff noticed the same thing when they went to the second floor after the alarm sounded. She said they went to the second floor because nobody smelled or saw anything amiss and they were trying to figure out how to reset the alarm. Reports also indicated that first responders were unable to reset the alarm and Baldi told them she would be calling the company that installed it first thing in the morning. Baldi said she and the rest of her restaurant staff left the locked building for the evening sometime between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. and she went to her nearby home. Baldi also said that she went to Cumberland Farms around midnight and didn’t see anything coming from the direction of her restaurant though she didn’t drive down to it. A passerby reported the fire at 3 a.m. and firefighters again responded from the nearby Weirs Station only to find the old wooden building well-involved in flames. Because of an three-alarm barn fire the evening before in Gilford, firefighters from as far away as Alton, Franklin and Holderness were called to the Weirs to help already exhausted firefighters from the immediate area. The day after the fire, Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson said it started somewhere on the second floor, that the heat source was powered, and the initial material to catch fire was some kind of textile or fabric. As to demolishing the building, city officials have said that the best and quickest resolution would be to have Baldi tear the building down. She has always maintained that her goal is to rebuild and her extended family owns much of the abutting property. see next page
No beer at Muskrat games this summer, after all; deck won’t be ready & Rec Commission refuses to approve alternative By Michael Kitch
LACONIA — While the Muskrat Monster will still loom over left field, there will be no party deck or beer sales at Robbie Mills Field this season. Noah Crane, vice-president and general manager of the Muskrats said yesterday that the deck atop the left field wall cannot be built in time to open the season and the Parks and Recreation Commission refused to allow beer to be sold elsewhere at the ballpark. “We just ran out of time,” Crane said, explaining that he first approached the commission about selling beer in November and it approved the request in February. He said that after he received the necessary permits for beer sales from the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission and the Planning Department’s approval of the design for the party deck, time to build the structure began running short. As an alternative, Crane this week
asked the Parks and Recreation Commission for permission to operate the beer concession in a section of the parking lot behind the bleachers on the third base line, which would be cordoned off and closely monitored. However, the commission denied his request, finding the location too prominent. Crane had hoped beer sales would boost revenues to put the franchise on a sound financial footing as well as increase attendance by drawing more young adults to the games. “It is disappointing that things didn’t work out for this season,” he said. Meanwhile, Crane said that he is still seeking homes for a dozen ballplayers who are due to report to Laconia on the weekend of June 2nd and 3rd. “We’ll take anything from twelve homes to one large house with twelve beds,” he said. Anyone interested in hosting a ballplayer during the summer should contact Crane at 1-864-380-2873.
CENSUS from page 2 count groups, like renters, were counted less well,” Census Bureau director Robert Groves said. “Because ethnic and racial minorities disproportionately live in hard-to-count circumstances, they too were undercounted relative to the majority population.” “Our belief is that without our outreach, our numbers would have been much, much worse,” he added. The South, led by the District of Columbia, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida, was more likely to have people who were missed. The Midwest and Northeast as a whole posted small over-counts. The findings come after more than 100 cities including New York challenged the official 2010 results as too low. The Census Bureau, which recently rejected New York’s request to revise the city’s count, says the latest analysis will not affect the government’s official U.S. population tally of 308.7 million but it will be used to improve the 2020 count. Nor will the analysis affect how the federal government distributes more than $400 billion to states for roads, schools and social programs. “We remain deeply troubled by the persistent and disproportionate undercount of our most vulnerable citizens — people of color, very young children and low-income Americans,” said Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League and chairman of the Census Bureau’s 2010 Census Advisory Committee. “At a minimum, the census should have the ability to make an adjustment in the official
count to ensure that these individuals enjoy the political representation and fiscal resources to which they are entitled.” The Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that federal law barred the use of sample surveys to adjust census results for purposes of allocating House seats; it left the door open to adjustments for other uses such as congressional redistricting or distribution of federal funds. Shortly after taking office in mid-2009, Groves ruled out statistical adjustments in 2010 for redistricting, citing a lack of preparation time. On Tuesday, the Census Bureau noted how its efforts to count U.S. residents have improved over time. An undercount of the total U.S. population reached as high as 5.4 percent in 1940, the first time the accuracy of a census was formally measured, and then gradually decreased before an over-count was posted in 2000. American blacks are still the most likely to be missed; their undercounts have improved from a high of 8.4 percent in 1940 but at a slower pace than that of whites. The government takes a census survey every 10 years. The bureau sends census takers and questionnaires to every U.S. household, though not everyone responds. In 2010, the government faced special challenges of counting transient families displaced by widespread mortgage foreclosures, non-English speaking immigrants fearful of enforcement raids and distrustful Americans opposed to government surveys.

Presumably, until the dispute with Lloyds is settled — according to documents on file at Merrimack County Superior Court the matter is scheduled for trial in early 2013 — Baldi doesn’t have the resources to demolish the existing building.

FIRE from page one are neighborhood blights, and targets ripe for vandalism and havens for squatters. The city is doing its utmost to get the owners of these buildings to either fix them up or tear them down, says Shanna Saunders, the city’s planning director whose duties now include overseeing enforcement of the city’s building codes. She explained that following a fire the city requires the owner to make sure that any broken widows and open doorways are boarded up as well as any openings in the roof or side walls. Once the building is secure the city gives the owner a limited amount of time to begin taking steps to have structure repaired or demolished. If the after two or three months the building continues to sit idle the city begins issuing letters to the owner telling them to fix it up or tear it down , Saunders said. This requires a balancing act on the part of the city, according to City Manager Scott Myers. “We don’t want to be the heavy,” he said. “We want to be compassionate to someone who has had a devastating loss (of their building), but we also understand the needs and aesthetics of the neighbors” who don’t want to have to look at an unsightly building indefinitely. If the process drags on, it may not be the building owner’s fault, says Saunders. Insurance companies may take a long time to decide whether to pay to have the building repaired or to tear it down and have something built in its place. Or, as Myers pointed out, work may need to be put off until warmer weather comes. Sometimes health problems or a death complicate the process. For example, the issue of what to do with a boarded-up house at the corner of Mechanic and Walnut streets in Lakeport, which burned in November 2010, is tied up in probate following the

owner’s death. The city is working with the Probate Court in an effort to resolve the matter, Saunders explained. In the case of a large multi-family building at 158 School St. which burned July 5 last year, Saunders acknowledged the process to get the building back into shape has been slow, but there are signs of progress. She said that the owner, Paul Fortier, has been in regular contact with her office keeping it abreast of developments. Fortier said as soon as the small amount of asbestos found on the site is removed his plan is to tear down the most badly burned part of what was a sixunit building and then salvage the main part of the structure and rebuild that to the point where he can then sell the building to a contractor-investor who will do all the finish work. Fortier, who lives in Nashua and bought the School Street building as an investment, said he is sympathetic to the feelings of his neighbors, but he is also taking into account financial realities. “I have to walk a line on how far and how deep to go,” he said. One reason no work has been done on the building at this point is because he had to wait longer than expected to get several quotes from various contractors, and then one contractor reconsidered and decided not to work on the building. Fortier said the experience has taught him that due diligence takes time. Fortier said that through it all the city has treated him fairly. “As long as you keep them informed, that there is some progress, they are very patient,” he said. Myers noted there is no one-size-fits-all timeline for that the city to follow when it comes to derelict, at-risk, fire-gutted buildings. But he noted the City Council has made it clear that it considers tackling property maintenance problems a priority, and that the recent realignment of duties in the city’s plansee FIRE page 12

But for some of those who are pressing the city to be more vigorous in dealing the Wide Open Saloon matter, the problem is not with the process but rather a matter of political will. “If it had been the Sundial Shop (in downtown Laconia) that had burned, this would have been resolved month ago,” said Don Thurston, a partner in Thurston’s Marina which is separated from the Wide Open Saloon property by a single set of railroad tracks. Thurston feels that city officials just are not giving the concerns of Weirs Beach businesses the kind of attention they deserve. “After two years, this is overdue for some kind of action,” he said. Other Weirs Beach business people readily acknowledge that the fact that the Wide Open Saloon matter is tied up in court limits the city’s options. But they feel that the city should still exert more pressure on its own attorneys to find out how long the Supreme Court process will take. “It’s like having a loved one who is undergoing surgery and you’re sitting in the waiting room and you’re just hoping to get some news,” said Tom Pucci, owner of the Grandview Motel
and Cottages. Normally businesses are quick to have their premises repaired after a fire, according to Tom Dawson, who taught firefighting and fire science for 16 years at what is now Lakes Region Community College and who served as state fire marshal during the 1980s. “Deterioration only invites more vandalism,” he noted. Local ordinances give municipalities the ability tear down a building which is considered to be a threat to public safety and health. But there is no overriding state law which governs the process, Myers explained. Saunders says the Wide Open Saloon case clearly falls into the public safety and health category. She noted the building sits close to a major thoroughfare (Route 3) at a busy intersection. In addition to all the traffic, there is a lot of pedestrian activity with people constantly walking on the sidewalk in front of the building as they make their way back and forth across the bridge over the Weirs Channel. Brandi Baldi, the Wide Open Saloon’s owner, has contested the city’s efforts to have the building torn down, arguing that building is not in danger of collapsing, and further that the city failed to give her any alternasee next page
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, May 23, 2012— Page 13
ALTON FARM from page one workday was coming to a close. O’Shaughnessy stepped away from the scene for a moment of reflection. Following her father’s suggestion, she and her sister, joined by a handful of other family and friends, invested what they could to create Chamberlain Springs. The business was conceived as a way to harvest the property’s aquatic bounty, and in doing so, create a sustainable revenue stream to protect and maintain the historic property, which had been a farm in Alton since the 18th Century and had been in O’Shaughnessy’s family since 1937. But after 550 feet, the well was still failing to produce the volume necessary for a commercial operation. Then the well went from a trickler to a gusher. “At 585, we had water flying out of the ground,” O’Shaughnessy recalled. She laughed at the memory of her and the well crew, giddy with shock and relief, as they scrambled to control the sudden flow. It seemed that her father’s idea might work after all. Eight years later, O’Shaughnessy and company are again at a moment of uncertainty. This time, it’s a different kind of liquidity they’re hoping will appear. If Chamberlain Springs and bottling company Nh2o don’t get a sudden infusion of cash — $53,000, to be exact — their bank will foreclose on its business loan, seizing as collateral the very land the family was seeking to protect. The past eight years have been full of twists and turns for O’Shaughnessy, her husband Timothy Morgan and her sister Fae Kontje-Gibbs. Their initial plan, to market their water as a bulk product, was scuttled when rapidly rising construction costs put the building of the necessary infrastructure out of reach. “So, we decided we would go ahead and bottle it ourselves — which was probably a poor decision,” said O’Shaughnessy. In 2009, after years of preparation, Profile Bank and the Belknap County Economic Development Council provided a funding package to create Nh2o, a company that put the water in 750 mililiter bottles and distributes them through restaurants, grocery stores and at outdoor markets. Profile Bank’s loans included $177,000 for start-up costs and an additional line of credit. However, in a story that many entrepreneurs will find familiar, O’Shaughnessy said that getting the business off the ground took more than they had estimated. “We were seriously under-capitalized. It cost a lot more to do everything from preceding page tive way to remedy the situation. The law gives municipalities like Laconia the right to ask a judge to order the destruction of a building that has become a hazard. In addition during the course of a fire or during the overhaul immediately following, the fire chief has the power to order building leveled if it the chief thinks it’s in imminent danger of collapse, according to Fire Chief Ken Erickson. But the fire chief’s authority lasts only while the property is an active fire scene. Once the fire department returns the control of the property back to owner, any question of enforcement rests with the local building code officials. “It’s not a fire department issue. It’s a code enforcement issue or a zoning issue,” he said. While not responding to Thurston’s comment that a major fire to a downtown building would have gotten more attention, Erickson said that because downtowns are more congested and buildings are closer together and sit just a few feet from a street, authorities can make a strong case for immediate demolition.
than we anticipated.” Without enough money to go around, Nh2o’s marketing budget was the first item on the chopping block. O’Shaughnessy points to the lack of advertising as to why the product hasn’t reached a wider clientele in the state. Meanwhile, the company has been approached by potential private-label customers from across state lines, but Nh2o currently only has the paperwork to sell within New Hampshire — getting licensed in other states would require an initial investment. Whatever the cause, the effect has been that business has yet to come close to the volume necessary to cover its costs. O’Shaughnessy has nothing but kind words about Profile Bank — “They have been supportive to the nth degree” – and when Nh2o began to have difficulty making its payments last year, the lending agent put together a forbearance agreement, which allowed the company to skip its regular payments while it sought to sell the company. However, a buyer didn’t appear. As a result of the forbearance agreement, Nh2o is now facing a balloon payment, due on May 30, which the company can’t afford to make. Profile has made the company an offer — pay off the line of credit and accrued interest, totaling $53,000, and the balance will be amortized over a period of years. Earlier this month, O’Shaughnessy sent out an e-mail to potential supporters, asking for
help in paying off the line of credit. Her strategy is to break the figure down and ask supporters to consider contributing $53, or one-tenth of one percent, to keep the dream of Nh2o alive. She is asking those inclined to make their checks out to “Chamberlain Springs” and mail them to 166 Old Wolfeboro Road, Alton, NH, 03809. Allowing for time for checks to clear, she figures she needs to receive enough gifts by Saturday in order to bring a payment to the bank on Wednesday. Raising the money would provide “breathing space” while O’Shaughnessy and company try to make Nh2o viable, or find a buyer for the company. “Any help getting there would be so welcome,” said O’Shaughnessy. These days have been trying for her. She’s been trying to fill the capital void with her own labor. Meanwhile, worry keeps her from resting at night. “I’m very tired, I’m scared, I’m emotional,” she said. Yet she’s also hopeful. “The whole reason I did this was to save this farm. I haven’t had enough smarts and resources to pull it off — so far. So far. I just have to do everything I can to prevent this foreclosure from happening.” Lately, O’Shaughnessy has been thinking back to that day in 2004, when it seemed the well wouldn’t produce. “That was a huge lesson to me... People love this water, people love this farm. I have to wonder if God wants me to learn this lesson, perseverance.”

Police say they found meth, pot & LSD in apartment LACONIA — After a months-long investigation, police made a second arrest in a drug case after executing a search warrant yesterday at 189 A Gilford Ave. and arresting the woman who lives there. Police said Crystal Chase, 19, is charged with possession of marijuana, allegedly found by police in her pocketbook and in her car. She was released on $1,000 personal recognisance bail. Ten days ago, police arrested Kyle McIntyre, 19, also of 189 A Gilford Ave. and charged him with two
Sanbornton police warn of phone scam with a DEA arrest twist SANBORNTON — After a local woman reported she was called by someone purporting to be a federal Drug Enforcement Agency agent, police are warning area residents not to reveal any personal information to phone callers. According to Chief Stephen Hankard, the woman was called shortly after 5 p.m. on Monday by a man who said she was being indicted by the DEA for numerous drug charges relating to purchasing and selling drugs over the Internet. Hankard said the man knew her name and address and that if she agreed to pay a fine using a credit card over the phone the pending charges
would be dropped. In Monday’s case, the woman hung up on the person, but Hankard said a check of the U.S. DEA Website has a warning about this and similar scams being perpetrated across the country. Police are asking everyone to be careful about giving any personal or financial information over the telephone and to contact their local police if they have received similar solicitations. He said people who get legal prescription drugs via the Internet are most likely to be targeted by this kind of scam, but that all residents should be wary of unsolicited phone calls.
RADIO from page one ings yesterday. Among the 10 stations in New Hampshire five broadcast to the Lakes Region from offices in Gilford — WLNH-FM (98.3), WLKZ-FM (104.9), WJYY-FM (105.5), WNHW-FM (93.3) and WEMJ-AM (1490). Nassau Broadcasting, headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey operated 49 radio stations in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts as well as as the three states of Northern New England. Last September, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners, Fortress Credit Opportunities and P.E. Capital, LLC forced Nassau Broadcasting into bankruptcy in federal court in Delaware, claiming they were owed $83.8-million. A month later the involuntary bankruptcy was converted to a voluntary bankruptcy when Nassau Broadcasting persuaded its lenders that disrupting operations at its stations would ultimately damage its creditors. While managing the business and operating the stations, Nassau Broadcasting sought and received the approval of the bankruptcy court in February to auction its properties. When the auction was held earlier this month, 19 stations were sold to five bidders and then adjourned, leaving the New England stations to be sold yesterday. Goldman Sachs acquired 11 AM and FM stations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for $38.7-million. Manning Broadcasting purchased three stations in Maryland for $6.4-million, about a third of the price Nassau Broadcasting paid for two
of them in 2004.Three stations on Cape Cod fetched $2.7-million, one station in Maine went for $250,000 and another for $150,000. According to Radio-Info, an on-line industry news service, when the auction resumed yesterday Carlisle Capital and Vertical Capital Partners, LLC of Hanover submitted a joint bid of $12.5-million for the 30 stations. With the consent of Goldman Sachs, the offer was accepted as “the highest or otherwise best bid.” Jeff Shapiro is the principal of Vertical Capital Partners is the president of Great Eastern Radio, LLC and Border Broadcasting, Inc., which own radio stations in the Upper Valley and Vermont. Neither Binnie nor Shapiro could be reached for comment yesterday. However, industry pundits expect the pair to divide the stations. The acquisitions are Binnie’s first foray into radio. In 2011 he purchased two low-power television stations, WYCN-LP in Nashua and WZMY-TV in Derry, changing its call letters to WBIN-TV. Last year, TVNewsCheck, a trade website, reported that Binnie described WBIN-TV as “the cornerstone” of the company he was creating.

SEABROOK from page 3 service water cooling tower do qualify for tax exemptions. The court rejected the assertion by lawyers for the town that the state had to hold a hearing on its objections. The justice said state law requires it to investigate whether tax exemptions are justified, but does not require the agency to hold a hearing. BIDEN from page 3 involvement. Democrats have been focusing on the companies that Bain took over only to close them or let them fail. In addition to running ads and Web videos, the Obama campaign has been sending Biden to battleground states to press the issue. In New Hampshire, Biden argued that when companies fail, it costs taxpayers in unemployment benefits and costs businesses that end up paying into a fund that helps laid-off workers recover their pensions. Like Obama, however, Biden stopped short of criticizing profit-making in general. “That’s their job. It’s legitimate. But folks, making money regardless of the consequences for the workers at the companies they acquire or the communities that get wasted is another question,” he said. Biden said voters have an easy choice between what he described as the Obama administration’s “commonsense approach” to a Republican philosophy that he asserted advocates “no rules for the big guys” and “no accountability when the fail.”
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, May 23, 2012— Page 15
Red Sox held to 2 hits in Baltimore, lose 4-1 BALTIMORE (AP) — Brian Matusz handed the baseball to manager Buck Showalter and headed off the mound, walking ever so slowly toward the Orioles dugout as many in the crowd of 25,171 stood and cheered. The left-hander could be forgiven for soaking it all in, because the ovation was a long time coming. Matusz allowed two hits and struck out nine in 6 1-3 innings, Steve Tolleson and Wilson Betemit both hit two-run homers, and Baltimore beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Tuesday night. It was the sixth win in eight games for the AL East-leading Orioles, who improved to 4-1 against Boston this season. Tolleson homered off Felix Doubront in the second inning and Betemit connected against Matt Albers in the eighth. Matusz (4-4) threw his fastball with uncanny accuracy and kept the Red Sox off balance with a nasty, dipping curveball. In winning his third straight start, the 25-year-old allowed one run, walked one and matched his career high in strikeouts. He threw 101 pitches, 67 for strikes. After striking out Adrian Gonzalez with a wicked breaking ball, Matusz was done for the night. But
the fans wouldn’t let him leave without thanking him for his performance with a long round of cheers. “I had chills going through my body,” he said. “It’s such a great feeling to see the fans on their feet like that. You know, it really means a lot to have the support of the fans behind us. It’s a pretty special feeling.” Especially for Matusz, who was 1-9 with a 10.69 ERA in a dismal 2011 that included two trips to the disabled list. After starting 0-3 this season, he has won four of his last five starts. The left-hander certainly made an impression on the Red Sox. “He was hitting his spots, hitting the corners, getting ahead in the count,” Gonzalez said. Kevin Youkilis, who was activated from the disabled list before the game, homered for the Red Sox, who were seeking to climb over .500 for the first time this season. Instead, Boston reclaimed sole possession of last place in the AL East. Matusz outpitched Doubront (4-2), who gave up two runs and four hits in six innings and notched a career-high nine strikeouts.
CBO from page 2 grams that are scheduled to take effect as punishment for the failure of last year’s deficit “supercommittee” to produce a deficit-cutting agreement last year. Last summer’s debt and budget agreement imposed almost $1 trillion in cuts to agency budgets over the coming decade and required automatic cuts — dubbed a sequester in Washington-speak — of another $1 trillion or so over the coming decade. The CBO study came as Capitol Hill is hopelessly gridlocked over spending and taxes in advance of the fall elections. The White House and top Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada say they will refuse to act on the expiring tax cuts and automatic spending cuts unless Republicans show greater flexibility on raising taxes. “If Republicans want to walk away from the bipartisan spending cuts agreed to last August, they will have to work with Democrats to replace them with a balanced deficit reduction package that asks millionaires to pay their fair share,” Reid said in a statement. Republicans are pressing to deal with the problem now. But they’re not showing any more flexibility on tax increases. “You can call this a fiscal cliff. You can call it Taxmageddon as others have done,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. “Whatever you call it, it will be a disaster for the middle class. And it will be a disaster for the small businesses that will be the engine of our economic recovery.” The results of the elections will have a lot to do with the ultimate solution, but several top lawmakers predict the current Congress will punt the issue into 2013 for the newly-elected Congress and whoever occupies the White House to deal with.
GOOGLE from page 2 neer that has struggled in recent years. Motorola hasn’t produced a mass-market hit since it introduced the Razr cellphone in 2005. Once the No. 2 cellphone maker, Motorola now ranks eighth with 2 percent of the worldwide market share, according to Gartner. As had been expected, Google CEO Larry Page immediately named one of his top lieutenants, Dennis Woodside, as Motorola’s CEO. He replaces Sanjay Jha, 49, who will stay on just long enough to assist in the ownership change. Woodside, 43, has spent the past three years immersed in online advertising as president of Google’s America region, which accounted for $17.5 billion of Google’s revenue last year. Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. booked $13.1 billion in revenue during its final year as an independent company.

Regular train operations will continue through December including excursion trains, special tourist trains and other equipment moves. The railroad is once again reminding the public that railroad right of ways will be active and that every precaution should be exercised around moving trains. “We know people often hike on the rail right of ways and we frequently see people walking the tracks and crossing bridges regularly which is dangerous when trains are active on the line,” said Ben Clark, Vice President of the railroad. “People need to be aware of the potential danger around moving rail

The farm is located on Route 113, about 1.2 miles from the center of town on the west side of Squam Lake. They offer locally grown, vegetables, cheese, meats, dairy and fresh baked breads, cookies, pies and pastries. Lori, the proprietor, will be talking about the process of organic farming. Club members will take a walk about the farm to see their different forms of production, visit three grow houses, as well as the gardens. The tour is wheelchair accessible. Those who would like to carpool are asked to meet at 8:45 a.m.,on June 19, at the Masonic Hall, Bristol. Guests may bring their own lunch and beverage or sign up early for a $15 lunch of quiche, veggies, salad, drinks, and dessert prepared by LongHaul Farm. Those who order lunch must sign up by June 10 by calling Rebecca Herr 744-6526. In other news Pasquaney Garden Club members have donated many hours of volunteering to our community, and in June will provide flowers for the Newfound High School graduation, a scholarship for a Newfound HS graduate, planting the flower containers around Bristol which will be maintained all summer, and maintaining the “Butterfly Garden” behind Minot-Sleeper Library in Bristol. For those who are interested in learning more about gardening, volunteering to help in our “Butterfly Garden” is a great way to work along side experienced gardeners and serve the community at the same time. Work days are scheduled for the mornings of June 5, 12 and the 19 at 9 a.m. This garden, on the bank of the Newfound river, is enjoyed by many all summer long.
equipment, even when rail cars and locomotives are moving at slow speeds.” Other safety considerations include grade crossing signals which should always be obeyed. Drivers should stop when they hear whistle signals at grade crossings without lights or gates, and never try to beat a train at a crossing. “Accidents do occur between the public and trains where roads and rails meet. We believe that the vast majority of grade crossing accidents can be avoided,” continued Clark. “Traffic delays can be frustrating to people but trying to beat a train at a grade crossing, even when the train is moving slow, is taking your life into your hands. You can’t stop a train on a dime and often people misjudge the speed or distance of a train and they can be injured or even killed,” Clark emphasized. Rail accidents account for thousands of injuries and lost lives annually on all railroads throughout the United States and Canada. For the Hobo Railroad, scenic tourist excursion trains will depart from Hobo Jct. Station in Lincoln, on weekends this spring and operate daily during the summer and into the fall.

The round trip excursion goes between Meredith, Weirs Beach and Lakeport. “People love to look at trains and we have a number of events schedule where they can see and experience rail travel up close and personal in a safe manner,” concluded Clark.

Gilford Memorial Day Barnstormers announces 2012 summer schedule Parade starts at 9:30 a.m. GILFORD — The Town of Gilford will again be observing the Memorial Day holiday with a parade and commemoration honoring all United States veterans that made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. The observance will be held Monday May 28 with the parade organizing at the Community Church parking lot at 9:15 a.m. The parade will begin at 9:30 a.m. and proceed along Potter Hill Road for observances at the World War I & II Veterans Memorial and then onto Belknap Mountain Road for observances at Pine Grove Cemetery. The town invites all attendees to gather at the Veterans Memorial and follow the parade to the Pine Grove Cemetery. The Gilford Memorial Day Committee invites all veterans to participate in the parade by gathering at the Community Church parking lot and marching as a group. Once again, an antique fire truck will be available so that disabled veterans will be able to participate and ride along the parade route. Disabled veterans requiring rides are urged to contact Sandy Bailey at Town Hall at 527-4700 to make known their need. Additionally, recent federal laws allow all veterans to wear their earned military medals on civilian clothes and to render a hand salute without cover or hat. Gold or Blue Star Mothers are also invited to gather at the assembly point and be with their group during the observances.
Memorial Day service and exercises planned for Sunday in Gilmanton GILMANTON — a Memorial Day Service will be conducted by Pastor Chris Stevens of the Gilmanton Community Church on Sunday, May 27 at 10:30 a.m. at the Smith Meeting House on Meeting House Road in Gilmanton. Following the service the Ellis-Geddes-Levitt American Legion Post #102 will conduct Memorial Day exercises, including the recognition of Private Almon D. Jones, a Gilmanton resident who died in June of 1864 at the age of 19 from wounds suffered at the battle of Cold Harbor in the Civil War. Light refreshments will be served in the Smith Meeting House School immediately after the exercises and there is ample parking near the church. All are welcome.
TAMWORTH — The Barnstormers Theatre of Tamworth - the only professional summer theatre in the world still producing eight plays in eight weeks - announced its summer schedule. “This is one of the most eclectic lineups we’ve ever had,” said Artistic Director Bob Shea. “It’s the best of both American and British theatre and a great combination of music, laughs, suspense, romance and drama. This summer, there will be a play for every appetite, even for the most reluctant theatre goer. “ Launching the 2012 season is the hit musical “Big River,” book by William Hauptman, music and lyrics by Roger Miller, and adapted from Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” Immersed in toe-tapping bluegrass and country music, characters Huck and Jim drift down the Mississippi encountering adventures and misadventures in search of their freedom. The large cast features Barnstormers veterans working alongside new-to-The-Barnstormersstage professionals in this classic American musical. “Big River” won Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score. July 10 - 14. Tina Howe’s “Painting Churches” is a funny, expressive look at an uppercrust Boston couple and their artist daughter, who returns home to help her parents pack-up their Beacon Hill townhouse as she paints their portrait. Humor, punctuated by reflective moments, carries this family along the rocky shores of old age. July 17 - 21. Written by Barnstormers favorite Ken Ludwig (“Lend Me a Tenor”), this summer’s “Leading Ladies” takes theatre goers to a new high (or low?) in this gender-bending farce in which nephews turn out to be nieces and things are not always as they seem. “Leading Ladies” overflows with love, deceit, cheating, stealing and, you might have guessed it, men in pantyhose, in this hilarious crowd-pleaser. July 24 - 28. Agatha’s Christie’s “Witness for the Prosecution” takes us into the British courtroom and beyond. Each time you think you know whodunit, the play takes a new turn. This is Christie at her best, and she doesn’t disappoint as

she leaves you guessing until the true villain (or will it be the villainess?) is revealed. July 31 - August 4. Few plays exemplify The Barnstormers and the American theatre tradition better than Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” What seems like every day transactions become meaningful, poignant events spanning three decades in an early twentiethcentury, New Hampshire town. First opening in Tamworth in 1939, this will be The Barnstormers’ seventh production of “Our Town.” August 7 - 11. Playwright team Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna’s “It Had to Be You” is a two-character, madcap comedy in which love conquers all - with a little help from subterfuge, hysteria, sex and the weather. It offers self-mocking sensibility that’s both charming and loads of fun. August 14 - 18. Being a good listener is easy when you “can’t speak the language” and, oh, the things you’ll hear! Larry Shue’s “The Foreigner” is a delightful comedy about miscommunication and transformation. The script is populated by a host of interesting, zany characters with countless twists and quirky surprises. August 21 - 25. “The Hound of the Baskervilles” by Steven Canny and John Nicholson is a farcical adaptation of Sherlock Holmes’ most famous adventure. Three actors playing 16 roles offer brilliant, funny dialog and terrific physical comedy. Literary, theatrical and everyday references abound. August 28 - September 1. Located in the historic village of Tamworth, The Barnstormers Theatre has been a New Hampshire tradition since 1931. As one of New Hampshire’s three Equity theaters, it offers professional summer theatre with a new show each week during July and August. The theatre is air-conditioned with tiered, comfortable seating, handicapped accessible and boasts a new hearing assistance system. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Tuesday - Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and a 2 p.m. Saturday matinee.

‘Cows and Communities’ presented on Tuesday MOULTONBOROUGH — Steve Taylor, former New Hampshire Commissioner of Agriculture and himself a dairy farmer in Meriden, has researched the history of cows in New Hampshire, and will present his talk on “Cows and Communities” at the Moultonborough Public Library on Tuesday, May 29 at 7 p.m. The first cow to be documented in the state’s history arrived at Portsmouth in 1634, and since that time cows have provided milk, butter, cheese, leather, meat- both fresh and salted for preservation, horns for powder horns to carry gunpowder, and power to move heavy loads. In the absence of a cash economy, dairy products could be bartered, and it was mainly oxen, rather than horses, that moved the logs and boulders to clear New Hampshire’s farms and to build all those thousands of miles of stone walls. The dairy industry was once a very large part of the economy of “Cow Hampshire,” and daily home delivery of milk (in glass bottles) from local dairies was a normal feature of the household routine. Milk to be processed for distant city dwellers was picked up at 140 local railroad stations around the state. All this and much more about New Hampshire’s “Cows and Communities,” past and present, will be part of Taylor’s presentation, including where New Hampshire’s cows are today and what they are doing for us. For more information, call the Moultonborough Library at 476-8895.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The day is rich in complexity. It’s as though everything you see is a symbol for another thing entirely. You’ll look deeply into so-called reality to find a larger meaning. You want the story behind the story. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s an action you would like to turn into a permanent fixture in your behavior -- to the extent that it becomes a part of your personality. Repeat the response hundreds of times until your brain accepts it as automatic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can’t will yourself to take pleasure in an experience. You either feel it or you don’t. That’s what makes pleasure an expression of your true self. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You make a habit of celebrating people. You need only get a slight inkling that there’s something to celebrate, and you’re on the job -- and good at it, too. Your thoughtfulness will be greatly appreciated. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your prize appears on the horizon -- and just when you’d almost given up! Reach forward with all of your might and imagine that destiny is rushing toward you, arms extended. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 23). You’ll be touched by the sentiments expressed to you today. The people who know you and those who want to know you will form a delightful mix. Your intentions for June will be realized by month’s end. Your excitement grows through September as you realize that your vision of life is being fleshed out before your eyes. Aquarius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 43, 28 and 15.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The price tag won’t give you a good idea of an item’s true value. You’ll be the one to catch amazing bargains and avoid overpriced nonsense if you keep your eyes open. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just when you think you’re gaining ground, you realize something that sends you back to the beginning. This is ultimately very beneficial. Your results will be much stronger this time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The one you love may or may not reciprocate in the manner you would prefer, but you will get a surprising response either way. Regardless of how it plays, there’s something wonderfully energizing about being caught off guard. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will have special privileges because of a relationship or association. Even if you feel you’ve done nothing to deserve the perks, you should enjoy them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Tense situations settle in to a neutral state. Someone who was being difficult last week will now be willing to talk reasonably. Anxieties will be allayed. Everything is working toward resolution. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know it would be wrong to base your self-worth on someone else’s opinion. That may not be enough to keep you from working for someone’s favor, though. It’s only natural to want approval. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One person’s attention and support will make your work easier. It also will make it clear who isn’t supporting you and really should be. It will be the start of a conversation that happens in the days to come.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, May 23, the 144th day of 2012. There are 222 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 23, 1937, industrialist and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, founder of the Standard Oil Co. and the Rockefeller Foundation, died in Ormond Beach, Fla., at age 97. On this date: In 1430, Joan of Arc was captured by the Burgundians, who sold her to the English. In 1533, the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon was declared null and void. In 1701, William Kidd was hanged in London after he was convicted of piracy and murder. In 1788, South Carolina became the eighth state to ratify the United States Constitution.

PET OF THE WEEK Even the most unusual of dogs arrive at New Hampshire Humane Society. We learned long ago, to never say never, because over time, some pretty exotic breeds have darkened our doorstep.
For years, our local community has been donating their aluminum cans to Troop 68. Funds from these cans help maintain membership, purchase equipment, support outings, and so much more!
Boy Scout Troop 68, Laconia Thanks you for your continued support!
Enter Mr. Magoo, staff at the shelter named him that (!) a stray from the Town of Alton.
Arriving under police escort and smelling badly of skunk, we noted immediately he needed lots of medical care. Addressing his malodorous little body first, we bathed him and cleaned him up. Then he had surgery on both eyes, and his forehead, and was neutered and all vaccines brought up to date. He’s been through so much, but still wags his tail and says he is ready for a new, loving home.
A Shar Pei with less of the brush coat some of these Chinese sourced dogs usually wear, he is just the friendliest of fellows. WE estimate he is about two years old, which means many happy years of companionship for his new forever home. Mr. Magoo has made some dog friends at NHHS, but may find cats irresistible.
Please visit him during open hours at NH Humane Society Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 10.00a.m – 5p.m or Saturdays, 10.00a.m – 4p.m check www.nhhumane.org for details.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: After more than 40 years of devotion to my husband, I have finally realized what a stonehearted jerk he is. I have done everything in my power to love, respect and encourage him. But I’ve fallen into a pattern of picking up the pieces of my heart and overlooking my own hurt in order to give him another chance and keep peace in our home. All of this is “not important” to him, as he has told me numerous times. My marriage is terribly lonely. Year after year, his disinterest and disregard for my feelings have chipped away at the love I once had. I have fought hard to stay in his life, and he tells me, “So what?” and “Leave if you want to.” My pleadings fall on deaf ears, and he refuses to discuss it. I have raised our children and worked beside him and also outside the home. I have contributed as much as he has to build our life together. This is obviously not how I envisioned our retirement, but I have had enough and am finally ready to begin a new life without him. Where do I start? -- Beyond Sad Dear Beyond: With counseling. Not necessarily to save your marriage, but to help you move forward in whatever direction helps you. After 40 years, there may be a great deal of grief for the loss of your relationship, fear of the unknown future, worry about finances and loneliness, as well as the need to forgive. You have a great many choices and adjustments to make, and counseling will help you navigate. If you choose divorce, please also see an attorney. Good luck. Dear Annie: I have an ongoing dilemma about an extremely uncomfortable bed. My parents recently turned 80. They have a guestroom with a bed that desperately needs to be replaced. I can tolerate sleeping there if I am exhausted, but it is truly
awful. My parents are not rich, so a new bed would be a major expense. But they don’t like handouts, so buying one for them might be resented. How do I tell them that my siblings and I would prefer to buy them a new mattress rather than spend the money staying in a motel? I don’t want to embarrass or offend them. -- Bad Back Dear Back: Your parents don’t sleep in the guestroom and have no idea how bad the bed is, nor are they in any hurry to replace something they don’t actually use. Their embarrassment would be temporary, so simply make the arrangements and then tell them, “Mom and Dad, it’s time to update your guestroom mattress. We’ve bought you one as a gift, since we are the ones who use it most.” Then say it’s a done deal, no argument, and give them the delivery date. It would help if one of you could be there when it arrives. Dear Annie: I feel bad for “Puzzled in Indiana,” whose brother has multiple sclerosis. The brother is holding a grudge against Dad because he sold the family home and used the proceeds to build a new one instead of distributing the money to his kids. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 16 years ago. Some people with MS have problems with memory, reasoning, judgment and depression. The stresses of life, especially the loss of a job or a loved one, can exacerbate flare-ups. All communications should be done with this in mind. My mother also had MS. She spent the last 10 years of her life bedridden and in pain. My advice to “Indiana” is to contact the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (nationalmssociety.org) at 1-800-FIGHT-MS (1-800-344-4867). -- Maryland

21st annual Wood Days at Old Ways Traditions in Canterbury June 2-3
CANTERBURY — Old Ways Traditions will host the 21st annual Wood Days, June 2-3, the biggest event of the year for what’s turning out to be a pretty big year all around for Dave and Anne Emerson of Old Ways Traditions. Dave Emerson says it all started with the Tilton Farmer’s Market, where for 13 consecutive Saturdays some 1,200 to 1,500 people visited. ‘’We had Tools for Kids there and experienced a lot of enthusiasm, especially from home school families. So we’ll be adding Kids in the Woods to Tools for Kids, hoping to get kids out on our many trails this summer. And we’ll have a whole lot of Tools for Kids at Wood Days, as much as we have help for, hopefully including the antique lathes. We will have help in the antique machinery shed so that will be more lively.’’ says Emerson. He says that Kevin Fife will be mending stone
walls Saturday and cutting stone Sunday. Mike Cook will have the forge going for all to try. Daisy Burns will do corn husk dolls. Michaela Richard, 14 years old, from Our Place Farm in Loudon, will bring baby goats. Steve Marcq will be guitar making Saturday. Spoon maker Mark Kneeland will be demonstrating both days. Diane Louise Paul will be harness making Sunday. Sharon Dugan and Dave Gibson will be basket making both days and Dave Anderson tool making. There will be a wide selection of reasonably priced hand tools on Saturday and collectable tools on both days. There will be two new bands this year; Idol Hands with Doug Hazard’s very New England blue grass originals plus their quirky covers, followed by tried and true Mink Hills. On Sunday there will be three sets from Cardigan Mt. Tradition, a bluegrass big band, followed by local musicians.
GILFORD — Scott Hodsdon, director at the Gilford Youth Center, has announced the schedule of summer camp programs.

morning sessions (T,Th 9 a.m.-noon) and afternoon sessions (M,W,F noon-3 p.m.). Camp I Can provides a safe, nurturing, and fun environment in which children can make new friends, enjoy new activities, create works of art, and learn new skills. Children will enjoy arts and crafts, singing, dancing, acting, games, stories, science activities, nature walks, and time outside on our fun playground. Campers will benefit from playing and learning with their friends while participating in a great program designed to keep the children moving, laughing, and enjoying the summer. Registration brochures can be found at www.gilfordyouthcenter.com. Space is limited. During the month of June, the GYC is hosting “SplishSplash” Mini-Camp for preschoolers (Ages 3-6).The camp will be held Tuesday and Thursdays, 10 a.m.-noon, beginning June 5. The camp will run for 3 weeks. Children will love playing in the sprinklers and cooling off in small pools. Fun water games and activities will be played. Wear a swimsuit, and bring a towel and sunscreen. Registrations can be found at www.gilfordyouthcenter.com
Food will be provided by The Maples of Warner. Wood Days will also be the time to find out about all the fun kids can have at Old Ways Traditions during June and July as part of the Kids in the Woods program. The kids Tent will stay up until just before Canterbury Fair July 28, with all the tools available as well as the lathes. And the trails which enable exploration of the fields, forest and streams that are part of the 1785 farm are always available. The Kids in the Woods and Tools for Kids program will be available by appointment with a $7-$10 donation requested.

HOLDERNESS — Those interested in learning how to find their way in the outdoors using a map and compass, are urged to sign up for a free workshop on beginning-level map and compass navigation skills scheduled for Saturday, June 16, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at New Hampshire Fish and Game’s Owl Brook Hunter Education Center. Registration is limited and will be taken on a firstcome, first-served basis. To sign up, contact the Owl Brook Hunter Education Center at 603-536-3954. Workshop participants will learn the basic skills needed to navigate in the outdoors using a map and compass. The class will be geared for beginners, as well as those looking to brush up on their knowledge of how to use a map and compass. Participants will spend some time in the classroom familiarizing themselves with the parts of a compass and how they work, and learning how to read a topographical map; then they will learn how to use the map and compass together to plan a day in the woods. Once they become comfortable with knowledge learned in the classroom, participants will head outside to navigate the Owl Brook Hunter Education Center’s orienteering course to practice their skills in an outdoor environment. Activities at Fish and Game’s Owl Brook Education Center are made possible by Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration funds. Purchase of fishing tackle, firearms, ammunition, archery equipment and motorboat fuels, along with license sales, helps fund sport fish and wildlife restoration in New Hampshire. For more information on Fish and Game’s Owl Brook Hunter Education Center, visit http://www. huntnh.com/Hunting/hunter_ed_center.htm.
MEREDITH — The Meredith Public Library was awarded a $4,500 grant by the National Trust for Historic Preservation from the Hart Family Fund for Small Towns. The seed grant funds will be used to pay for a Historic Building Assessment which has been performed by Christopher Williams Architects, PLLC., and is available for public viewing via the library’s Website at www.meredithlibrary.org under “About Us” and then “Documents”. The assessment outlines work needed to renovate the library in order to meet current building codes and what will be needed to preserve the historic part of the building. “Without organizations like the Meredith Public Library communities and towns all across America would have a diminished sense of place,” said Stephanie Meeks, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “The trust is honored to provide a grant to the Meredith Public Library which will use the funds to help preserve an important piece of our shared heritage.” The National Trust for Historic Preservation dispenses small grants for local projects through the National Trust Preservation Funds grant program. The grants range from $500 to $5,000 and have provided over $5.5 million dollars of funding since 2002. They are awarded to nonprofit groups, educational institutions and public agencies, and must be matched, at least dollar for dollar, with public or private funds. Preservation Funds grants are being used nationally for such wide-ranging activities as consultant services for rehabilitating buildings, technical assistance for tourism that promotes historic resources and educating children about their heritage. These grants are often the deciding factor on whether historic buildings or sites can be saved for future generations.
