3DAYFORECAST

Saturday High: 84 Chance of rain:10% Sunrise: 5:11 a.m.

NEW YORK (AP) — Profits at big U.S. companies broke records last year, and so did pay for CEOs. The head of a typical public company made $9.6 million in 2011, according to an analysis

by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm.

That was up more than 6 percent from the previous year, and is the second year in a row of increases. The figure is also the highest since the AP began tracking executive compensation in 2006.

Companies trimmed cash bonuses but handed out more in stock awards. For shareholder activists who have long decried CEO pay as exorbitant, that was a victory of sorts.

That’s because the stock awards are being tied more often to company performance. In those instances, CEOs can’t cash in the shares right away: They have to meet goals first, like boosting profit to a certain level.

The idea is to motivate CEOs to make sure a company does well see CEO page 12

U.S. stocks fall as big Spanish bank teeters NEW YORK (AP) — Another flare-up in Europe’s debt crisis knocked U.S. markets lower Friday. This time, it was more trouble at a major Spanish bank.

Stock indexes were waffling between small gains and losses until news broke in the afternoon that Bankia, a hobbled Spanish lender, asked that country’s government for $23.8 billion in support. Earlier in the day, Standard & Poor’s cut the bank’s credit rating to junk status because of deepening uncertainty over its restructuring plans.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped as much as 108 points, then recovered slightly to end down 74.92 points at 12,454.83. Concerns about Europe have sent the Dow on a steady slide this month, erasing most of its gains from the first quarter. It finished the week slightly higher, its first weekly gain for May. The declines were broad. Eight of the 10 industry groups in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell. The only sectors that rose were utilities and telecommunications, which investors tend to buy when they’re skittish

about the market. Trading volume was light ahead of the Memorial Day holiday.

Facebook, marking its one-week anniversary as a public company, fell 3.4 percent to $31.91. Talbots, the women’s clothing chain, plunged 41 percent to $1.51 after announcing that a deadline expired without a deal to be bought by a private equity firm.

In addition to the new worries about Spain, the head of Germany’s central bank, which has been skeptical of bailing out Greece and other weak European see STOCKS page 8

CAIRO (AP) — The Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate and a veteran of ousted leader Hosni Mubarak’s autocratic regime will face each other in a runoff election for Egypt’s president, according to first-round results Friday. The divisive showdown dismayed many Egyptians who fear either one means an end to any democratic gains produced by last year’s uprising.

More than a year after protesters

demanding democracy toppled Mubarak, the face-off between the Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi and former air force chief and prime minister Ahmed Shafiq looked like a throwback to the days of his regime — a rivalry between a militaryrooted strongman promising a firm hand to ensure stability and Islamists vowing to implement religious law.

“The worst possible scenario,” said

Ahmed Khairy, spokesman for the Free Egyptians Party, one of the secular, liberal parties that emerged last year. Speaking to the Al-Ahram daily, he described Morsi as an “Islamic fascist” and Shafiq as a “military fascist.”

He said he did know which candidate to endorse in the June 16-17. Many Egyptians face the same dilemma, with no figure see EGYPT page 11

New Jersey boy & his uncle Maine churches raising to fight gay marriage PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Scores of Maine to kick off this year’s fundraising campaign because carried off Mount Major churches will pass the collection plate a second time of the day’s focus on family, Conley said. Additional

ALTON (AP) — Rescue workers had to carry a boy and his uncle off a New Hampshire mountain after they fell down a rock face.

Ronald Arsenault of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said 12-year-old Andrew Sosidka of Brick, N.J., may have suffered a broken ankle and 46-year-old Dave Sosidka of Clinton, N.J., may have broken ribs after their falls while hiking Friday on Mount Major in Alton.

Arsenault said the boy tumbled while running on the rock face at about 4 p.m. He said the boy fell about 30 feet, but only the first six or seven feet were straight down. His uncle fell while trying to help him.

Arsenault said about 30 firefighters from area towns helped get the two down the mountain by about 8 p.m.

Both were treated at a Wolfeboro Hospital.

at Sunday services on Father’s Day to kick off a fundraising campaign for the lead opposition group to November’s ballot question asking voters to legalize same-sex marriages.

Between 150 and 200 churches are expected to raise money for the Protect Marriage Maine political action committee, said Carroll Conley Jr., executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine evangelical organization and a member of the PAC. Conley is also trying to drum up support for the Maine campaign from religious leaders from around the country.

It’s unusual, but not unheard of, for churches to take up collections for political causes. Maine’s Catholic diocese says it raised about $80,000 with a designated collection in 2009 in its effort to overturn Maine’s same-sex marriage law, which was passed by the Legislature that year and later rejected by voters. The Catholic Church isn’t actively campaigning this time, instead focusing on teaching parishioners about the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman.

Father’s Day, June 17, seemed an appropriate time

collection-plate offerings at churches are expected in the months ahead.

“The messaging we’re using is that those who are seeking to redefine marriage in Maine believe there’s no difference between moms and dads,” Conley told The Associated Press. “We believe those differences are relevant. We don’t think the differences in the genders are societally imposed roles, and we believe that children benefit when they’re in that ideal environment where there’s a mom and dad.”

Protect Marriage Maine has been in contact with about 800 churches across the state and expects 150 to 200 to participate in the Father’s Day collections, Conley said. They include Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, Nazarene, Church of God, Wesleyan, Evangelical Free, Advent Christian and other denominations.

While many churches are joining the campaign against the referendum, others of various denominations are working to support the ballot measure.

Some churches have hosted phone banks where congregation members have made calls in favor see MAINE page 14

The next education president Mitt Romney is right about one thing: Too many American children do receive what he this week called a “Third World education.” A disproportionate number of them are children of color. It is indeed “the civil rights issue of our era.” It is also the economic issue and the security issue.

Sadly, Romney doesn’t have a single new idea about what to do about it.

Romney’s first problem in dealing with education is not unique to education. In a recent speech to a group of donors in Florida, he said he was going to drastically cut the Department of Education or fold it into another department. In a speech to Latinos this week in Washington, he didn’t say a word about such cuts, much less about eliminating the department. No candidate these days has to be more careful about saying the same thing no matter where he is than the man known in Massachusetts as “Multiple-Choice Mitt.”

As for his other proposals, they range from the tried and true but tired to the tired and never true. I’ve been involved with the charter school movement for decades. Many (but not all) charter schools offer their students choices, opportunities and new approaches that are lacking in big urban schools. No administration has been more supportive of charter schools than this one.

But get serious: You can’t change American education one charter school at a time. You can’t build enough charter schools to deal with the biggest civil rights issue of our era.

Romney is against failing schools.

Who isn’t? But what’s striking is that he doesn’t actually want to do anything about them — unless you count handing out grades as doing something. The Obama administration went so far as to support the mass firing of teachers at a failing Rhode Island school. Romney, it seems, opposes takeovers in favor of report cards.

Get serious: What are poor, uneducated parents supposed to do on their own?

Send their kids to a private school, of course. Echoing one of the conservative applause lines of the past century, Romney urged that

parents should be able to send their children to any public school in the state “or a private school where permitted by law.”

Get serious: How many wellfinanced (through local property taxes) suburban schools are going to be rolling out the welcome mat for both economically and educationally disadvantaged students? How many private schools can afford to educate these kids for the amount that would follow them in federal dollars?

Where I live, the Catholic schools are bursting at the seams, and the suburban schools are tightening the noose on out-of-town parents who try to get their kids in using a work address or a relative’s address. Does Romney think the answer is to find some buses and then try to figure out where to send the kids in them?

Of course Romney is eager to unload on the teachers’ unions. Sure, there are some union leaders who are resistant to change, but an increasing number of teachers — including members and leaders of the unions — are in the trenches trying to fix their schools. There are bad apples in every barrel (yes, even in the political barrels), but the bigger problem in education these days is that half of the teachers wash out in their first five years. Keeping teachers, not firing them, is the more important challenge — even if it isn’t the better applause line.

I’m old enough to remember when the first George Bush declared that he was going to be “the education president.” The kindest thing I can say is that he wasn’t. He also raised taxes. Promises. Promises.

A real debate about education would be a welcome addition to this campaign. But Romney will have to go beyond the old ideas and the old applause lines he was using this week and get serious about educational policy if he wants to be a part of such a debate.

Where was Rep. Kingsbury when Obama was being called Hitler?

To the editor, Dear Rep. R. Kingsbury: Give me a break. While it is disrespectful to call/or compare any human being to Hitler if their actions or intentions weren’t such, my questions to you would be, where were you when your party (Republican) called our president Hitler? If this troubled you so much why didn’t you stand up to your own colleagues.

I hope Laconia sees this and never again puts you in office. What happened to the days when we elect honorable people to office who weren’t as biased as this Statehouse? And what the Monitor did is called freedom, something I thought you we elected you to defend.

LETTERS Issues that make Engine 4 unsafe were reported back in 2006 To the editor, I am writing this letter today to voice my extreme frustration over how the Gilford Budget Committee meeting was conducted Thursday evening. As an elected member of the committee, I sat patiently for nearly two hours listening to various speakers, and elected officials criticize and attack me. I did not interrupt as the pump technician was spewing false or misleading information (at $ 80 per hour). In the interest of “civility” (a policy preached by our new chairperson, Phyllis Corrigan) I waited for my turn to speak to rebuke the attacks and mistruths, I also wanted to address how this fire engine got in this condition in the first place. Unfortunately Mrs. Corrigan kept on trying to silence me. She sought to define what was okay and not okay to talk about. Any mention of maintenance practices (or lack thereof) seemed to be off limits.

Mrs. Corrigan has been a strong supporter of any and all spending on the town. She has also been a strong supporter of the Fire Department, and the “Gilford Professional Firefighters” in turn endorsed and campaigned for her. Now she’s trying to repay the favor by trying to silence me. I will not be silenced! If you won’t allow me, as a elected member of the Budget Committee to speak on issues I feel need to be discussed then I will turn to writing letters to the editor — either way I will be heard! I respected Mrs. Corrigan’s wishes to have an orderly meeting, I did not speak out of turn (I admit I have been guilty of this in the past, when I was passionate about an

issue), I will continual to do so; however I cannot foresee “civility” if real debate is not allowed. Mrs. Corrigan role as chair is to conduct the meeting in an orderly manner, however she went beyond that and rigidly sought to shape the debate. Only one side of the debate was heard last night. Any time a taxpayer spoke even remotely against the new fire truck, Chief Carrier was afforded the opportunity to run to the podium to rebut their statements, no one on the other side of the argument, lest of all me, was given the same opportunity.

What needs to be discussed is alternatives, and how we got to this point so it doesn’t happen again. I would like someone to explain how deep gouges were cut (not rotted) in the side if the cast iron pump chamber while the bronze impeller (bronze is much softer the cast iron) shows zero wear.

I have evidence that the very issues that make this truck unsafe today was reported to the Fire Department way back in July ‘06 — nearly Six YEARS AGO, yet it wasn’t repaired or even an issue until it became politically expedient to be an issue. I wish for someone to explain why the very people who were responsible for having this truck maintained, the people who let it fall into such disrepair, are being promoted and not disciplined. In the private sector people lose their jobs for this type of neglect. These are real Issues that need to be discussed before we can move forward with the purchase of a replacement!

You’re against Social Security & long letter to paper can’t change that To the editor, Memo to Mr. Boutin: You would not last one round in a debate with me, you would throw-in the “white flag” quickly.

Don’t worry, I will not debate you, I would soon debate my kitchen chair— probably would get more response Yes , you are AGAINST Social Security, if a general vote were held today, you would vote against and repeal it . A page and half of gobly gook is not going to change that.

By the way, pensions systems, both public and private (the ones left) are

now under-funded. In the great public sector employees have been required to pay more into the funds to help alleviate this problem. In 1999,most pension funds were at 110-percent. Today, after Bush -Cheney and yes ObamaBiden, they stand at no more than 85-percent.

Social Security can be fixed. It NEEDS to be fixed. It will require political courage and the will to do the right thing. And yes , it will require higher taxes, a lock box, professional leadership and investments in education, public building projects, and

LETTERS The Lakes Region is home to many fine auctioneers & services To the editor, I was dismayed by the article in The Sun this Thursday, May 24 about the opening of Lakes Region Auction Services.

I feel that there is a good deal of misinformation that needs to be mentioned.

First, the Lakes Region is home to many fine auctioneers. I moved with my family to Laconia 15 years ago and have been a licensed, practicing auctioneer since 1988 and I hold monthly auctions at Leavitt Park in Lakeport.

My friend Ken Barrett holds regular auctions at his building on Main Street in Tilton where auctions have been held continuously for the past 20 years. Charley Reynolds of Bristol is another long time auctioneer. Rich Hough of Waukewan Auction Service has been in the trade about 10 years.

The Peverly family has been auctioneering for 75 years. There are many others. It’s kind of a slap in the face to us to say that there are no other regular auctions in the Lakes Region.

There are a couple of ways to become an auctioneer here in New Hampshire. One must either attend a school of auctioneering or have apprenticed with a currently licensed auctioneer.

All must also take and pass a state test that shows adequate knowledge of auction procedures and the laws that govern auctioneering. Also, one must be bonded in the sum of $25,000. David

Byer is not a licensed N.H. auctioneer.

It is not appropriate for anyone to pass themselves off as an auction house/ auctioneer and perform all the functions of auctioneer while not licensed. This can all be verified in our state statutes RSA 311:B & others.

I am sure that any of the local licensed auctioneers that I have mentioned would be more than happy to meet with anyone regarding the selling of an estate, collection or personal property. Several of us advertise regularly in The Daily Sun. So how about getting the facts straight before printing a story that could affect many?

David Cross NH Auctioneer 2487 (Editor’s note: Mr. Cross is right in that the story should not have left an impression that Lakes Region Auction Services is the only auction service operating in the Lakes Region. The point Mr. Byer was trying to make was he believes his will be the only auction “house” operating in the immediate Laconia area — that is, an auction company operating out of its own, permanent facility. Mr. Cross is correct in pointing out that Ken Barrett operates an auction “house” in Tilton. As for the auctioneer license, it is our outstanding that Mr. Byer will not personally be conducting the auctions at his “house” — a licensed auctioneer will be handling that chore.)

from preceding page other worthwhile endeavors.

No more bridges to nowhere, or WARS that are not paid for.

So, Mr. Boutin, I have offered POSITIVE suggestions, I have E-mailed our representatives and urged them to put aside political agendas and PASS a fix.

I think you are one of those “against

everything for nothing crowed” so I don’t expect that.

You will join me in URGING congress to do something . You would rather sit there and whine and complain.

By the way, the typical CEO made $9.6-million last year, they certainly afford to PAY MORE Bill Knightly Gilford

To the editor, Wow! Here on Thursday the 24th I read the letter from Scott Cracraft and am impressed by two things. First his analysis that “it could happen here”, or anywhere is exactly correct. Germany is not the only place where government can or could grow into something evil. Scott sites hyper nationalism, dehumanization of opponents as bad things, I agree. Hyper-anything is usually bad, dehumanizing critics, opponents or even enemies is usually bad but Scott seems to have myopic tunnel vision in these matters. Citing Nazi and fascists, evils, I might add communists and the general category of dictators to the list just so we are not excluding anyone. People should, no, must ask what else do these all have in common besides what Scott has written about. BIG CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. Now is that not what Scott and the liberals support?

And do not the professors in our collages (75-percent of them liberal) tout and teach their students to believe in.

Have not liberals demonized conservatives as racists, red-necks, ignorant hicks for decades? And what about the current “war against the 1-percent”?

Oh yes it is a war and do not Scott’s Democratic champions, Obama, Reed, Polosi, and all liberals vilify the 1-percent in sweeping generalities?

Scott, you need to widen your field of vision, look in the mirror and asses your side with the same critical eye

LETTERS What do all these evils have in common? Big central government you apply to others. Being liberal or a professor does not come with any grant of immunity from error. Check yourself before casting that first stone.

Another letter catching my eye was written by John Hoyt. Mr. Hoyt believes Obama wants to do what is best for America. That’s the way he sees it but not how I see it. It looks to me that Obama is a ideologue and people can argue if he’s a socialist, Marxist or what, but it is as clear as the nose on your face that he is not doing what is best for America. Obama is doing whats best for Obama. OUR president seems to think he was elected WORLD president and is acting in that capacity. He bans off shore drilling in the Gulf then sends two billion dollars to Brazil to do just that. He passes a huge jobs bill for Americans then sends billions of that money overseas to China, South Africa, Brazil and others. And where are the jobs here in America? Millions of kids are graduating and will be looking for those those jobs but they are overseas thanks to Obama.

Our president is so fixated on green energy that he is at war, yes war, with fossil fuels which has caused the cost of energy to double from the time he took office and those green jobs he promised? They too are overseas.

Mr. Hoyt can believe what he wants but the evidence doesn’t agree with him.

Mr. Stephenson, you are just a very vicious and nasty old man To the editor, Almost every week you publish a letter from one Jack Stephenson of Gilford. I don’t know the gentleman, nor do I have any desire to. The Indians had a saying, which applies very well in this case, “man speaks with forked tongue” and I’ll add, with a warped mind, (unfortunately there are many like Mr. Stephenson who write to this paper).

Mr. Stephenson, in my mind, you are a very vicious and nasty old man who carries a vicious vendetta toward everyone. One week, you are after one of your favorite targets, the fire department, others to include selectmen, highway department, and your fellow citizens, just to mention a few. It must be wonderful to sit at home with a typewriter, a computer, or just longhand and pump out constant criticism of whatever crosses your mind. On top of that, to have to use capital letters whenever it

is felt necessary to get a point across, leaves me totally baffled.

For you to state in your last article that “any girl in town would do a better job” than what was being done, shows your total ignorance. There are many women who do fine work as do men, and some people cannot see beyond their own noses to spite their face, and you happen to be just one of them.

Without a doubt, Mr. Stephenson, I will be on your “top 10 most wanted” list. As you ponder what next to write about, keep in mind that I have given this letter a lot of thought. Be careful what you say, I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism. English, broadcasting, and speech education (and a good lawyer as well).

It is about time that someone writes about your foolishness!

Run-away truck ramp(s) are needed on Ossipee Park Road To the editor, On May 11th there was a near catastrophic accident on Ossipee Park Road and Route 171 in Moultonborough, where an independent trucker driving a fully loaded tractor-trailer carrying thousands of water bottles from the plant owned by CG Roxane crashed at the bottom of the steep mountain road. The truck, which reportedly lost its brakes, was totally demolished and the driver was seriously injured. Before crashing, the truck and trailer narrowly missed a dwelling opposite the terminus of Ossipee Park Road.

This accident, which is the latest on this road of trucks losing their brakes

on the steep grades, demonstrates a crying need for a safety improvements to address the problem of hundreds of independent trucks hauling bottled water from CG Roxane at all times of the year in all types of weather through Moultonborough.

CG Roxane has asserted that as the truckers are independent operators, it has no control over them. While this may technically be true, the road, which was only recently rebuilt by the town, at a cost of well over a half a million dollars, remains unsafe for heavy trucking. As the rebuilding by the town was at the behest of see next page

LETTERS Akerley viciously attacked & insulted 2 valuable Gilford citizens To the editor, The May 24 meeting of the Gilford Budget Committee ended positively because the members are intelligent, unlike the so called “fire engineers”.

The meeting started on a sour note, with Bill Akerley, supposedly “head” of the so called “fire engineers”, opening the meeting with gross insults to the TWO BEST guys in town who want to HELP him! He went downhill from there. What Akerley proved, in spades, is that NO ONE in the fire department gives a damn about condition of the equipment, especially him, since he has no understanding of the simple things which ALL old ladies know well: keep your brakes working!

Bill viciously attacked and grossly insulted the two most useful, helpful, and knowledgeable guys in town! How the heck does he expect to progress with such a totally NEGATIVE attack on his helpers? Our fire department is GREAT, despite the idiot “fire engineers: The EMTS are the best, the actual fire fighters are the best, but the pseudo “fire engineers “ are the worst, most asininely stupid, negative, of all in N.H.! Akerley MUST be REMOVED as the worst thing to ever happen to our good fire department! He falsely claims that the brakes have failed so bad that we suffered the cost of TOWING the truck back! I

have known MANY nice old ladies, and NEVER were any of them stupid enough to let their brakes fail so bad. Thus, OLD LADIES are MUCH more intelligent than our “fire engineers”.

The springs are worn! Pray tell, how many of you with cars or trucks have EVER had a problem with “worn” springs? Rusty, yes, always. Wiring “too slack”. Please explain that as a problem? Or just another ripoff! If actually so, then who you are using for maintenance has a problem, which is YOUR FAULT! Cab mounts need replacement.

Sure. I dispute that entirely. Prove it is you can, which I doubt! The nice rubber damping mounts eventually crack on the outer surface, which has NO effect on their function. Only a total IDIOT with NO experience would see that as a problem! “Radiator shot”, hardly a good description of reality! It WAS functioning fine until the “pseudo fire engineers” decided they preferred a shiny new truck, and to hell with the taxpayers!

Everyone of their made-up complaints tells us they are NOT doing their job of maintenance, so should be REPLACED! It is obvious that we MUST repair the old truck, and kick out those opposed!

Imaging everyone parking their cars & refusing to buy gas To the editor, Change it now America! What would happen if no one voted and now one paid taxes? If everyone stopped using gas and got a horse? If we all used battery operated lights, ice too keep our goods cool, and lived off the land with pigs and chickens. What if we got rid off all the computers, cellphones, iPods and CD’s? Imagine if we went back to cooking everything from scratch?

I believe that if we decided to do all of these things then prices would be an awful lot lower and it would happen virtually overnight! Right now prices are up and we all just keep paying so we are saying that these prices are okay. If we’d get together and fight back and stop the spending, then things would change fast!

But one or two people can’t change things.

If we want a change then everyone has to actually work together. Can you imagine everyone parking their car and refusing to buy gas? Do you suppose that would be noticed in a hurry? Sure would!

Stop sitting there letting all these

companies get rich by putting their prices up over and over, all the while smiling while they take your hard earned money. Fight back! Stop letting them take everything away from you.

There are more people living in poverty than ever: that’s what they want so they can control everyone. They want you house, your job, your land, your son, and your health care plan; your money and your guns. What are you getting in return? When you get to old to work and no one can take care of you: you get put in a tiny little room in a nursing home somewhere, with some clothes and a few pictures. They take your money a and you stay there until you die. Not a very big reward for someone that has worked hard all their life is it? But that’s all there is!

So now is the time to make things change and the sooner the better! The politicians promise this, but they never do it. It’s up to us folks now to get it done!

This Memorial Day, be happy you can live free because of this gift To the editor, Somebody just asked me if “Happy Memorial Day” is an appropriate greeting. I said no, because we are remembering those who died for our country, and while we are eternally grateful, we aren’t celebrating — we

are remembering their sacrifice.

After we parted, I started mulling it over. What we can say is, “This Memorial Day, be happy because you can live happily in freedom, and remember those who gave this gift.”

Carol Shea-Porter, Rochester

from preceding page CG Roxane, both the Town and CG Roxane should immediately institute safety measures to avoid any repetition of this type of accident and to protect the public that may be impacted by these dangerous trucks.

A logical safety measure would be to utilize CG Roxane land near the bottom of the hill to construct one

or more emergency run-away truck ramps before there is an even more tragic accident. In addition, the town’s police force together with the State Police should be inspecting trucks for safety defects, in particular brakes that seem to fail on the steep grades of Ossipee Park Road.

City has buyer interested in old police station

BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers said this week that after languishing on the real estate market for nearly a decade the abandoned police station at 51 Church Street has attracted what he called “serious interest” from a potential buyer.

“We’ve had ongoing discussions about the property,” Myers said, adding that the interested party has inspected the building, which has been vacant since the Police Department moved to New Salem Street in 2003. The proposed uses for the building, he described as “complementary to our plans for downtown.”

Last year, when Munsey & Brazil Insurance was acquired by the Cross Insurance and placed the property at 55 Church Street next door to the old police

station on the market, the city solicited “expressions of interest,” indicating that it might be possible to package the two properties and redevelop them together.

However, Myers said that to the best of his knowledge no one has yet shown interest in both properties.

The old police station sits on a 0.26acre lot abutting 1.9-acre lot owned by the city, which serves as a municipal parking lot. The adjacent lot that housed the insurance firm is 0.29 acres and extends to the Winnipesaukee River, where it has 77.6 feet of frontage.

Meanwhile, discussion of reconfiguring the flow of traffic downtown routinely raise the prospect of extending Messer Street through the city-owned right-of-way between the old police station and vacant office building to connect with Beacon Street East.

STOCKS from page 2 countries, reinforced the point when he said it was an “illusion” to think allowing euro zone countries to borrow money jointly would solve the crisis.

In Asia, media reports suggested that some of China’s biggest banks will miss their annual lending targets for the first time in seven years, and Taiwan lowered its economic growth forecast for the year. Caterpillar, which relies heavily on demand from China, fell 1 percent.

In other trading, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 2.86 points to 1,317.82. The Nasdaq composite fell 1.85 points to 2,837.53.

Stock indexes in France, Britain, Germany and Spain rose, while Greece’s ATHEX plunged 3.5 percent.

Borrowing rates edged higher for Spain and Italy.

Greece’s June 17 elections are an overhang on the market. The results will determine if Greece agrees to the spending cuts that it must swallow if it wants to stay in the 17-country euro zone, or if it goes its own way.

The idea of cutting government spending is unpopular in a country

which is in a fifth year of recession and residents have grown accustomed to public-sector largesse. But if Greece left the euro zone, it would have to revert to its own currency. That would be severely devalued, and the country’s standard of living would probably be crushed.

Greece makes up just 2 percent of the euro zone economy, but its fate would carry ripple effects to other, larger members. Unnerved traders could dump the bonds of other struggling European countries, such as Spain and Italy. Residents could start to pull money out of banks there, as has been happening in Greece.

The standoffs so far have almost always lasted until the 11th hour.

“Every time you think it’s going to fall off a cliff and end very badly, something happens,” said Beata Kirr, senior portfolio manager at Bernstein Global Wealth Management in Chicago. “The European Central Bank steps in to buy Italian and Spanish bonds. Or Germany softens its stance on austerity. All of these things have happened when it’s past the precipice.”

Vets again help LMS students mark Memorial Day; remembrance has special meaning for school’s principal

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Students, staff and faculty from the Middle School gathered at Opechee Point Friday morning for the school’s fourth annual Memorial Day observance.

Light rain didn’t stop the ceremony, which was attended by representatives from Wilkins-Smith Post #1 American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1670 and the Lakes Region Marine Corps League.

Laconia Middle School Principal Jim McCollum said that he had a lot of help from Don Doherty of the VF in organizing the first event four years ago and thinks it is important that students understand the significance of Memorial Day and the importance of honoring those who have made sacrifices on behalf of the nation.

The ceremony has a special significance for McCollum, who explained at the conclusion ‘’My father gave his life in Vietnam. It is important to remember those who willingly served and gave their all to preserve this nation’s freedom,’’ said McCollum, who this week was named as the new principal at Laconia High School and said that he is confident the school’s Memorial Day tradition will continue under newly-named Middle School principal Eric Johnson.

Doherty, who served as a staff sergeant in the Air Force, urged students to attend the city’s Memorial Day service on Monday and said that members of the VFW and American Legion will be paying visits to the city’s six cemeteries that day starting at 7 a.m. before assembling on Garfield Street for the start of the city’s parade at 10 a.m. which will conclude with a ceremony in Veterans Square.

He explained the history of Memorial Day to the students, saying that it was traced back to the Civil War, when in Columbus, Miss., in 1863 women tending Confederate graves also decorated the graves of Union soldiers. The holiday was observed on different days and in different ways across the country until after World War I, when it was changed from a ceremony honoring Civil War dead to one which honored those who died in all of the nation’s wars.

Army 1st Sgt. Joe Couture explained the history of the playing of “Taps” by a bugler was also a result of the Civil War when Brig. Gen. Daniel Butterfield directed Pvt. Oliver Wilcox Norton, his brigade bugler, to develop a new tune for the signal to “extinguish lights.” Taps is now a part of the conclusion of virtually every memorial service for American veterans.

HUOT from page one aggregate bid on the alternates of $4,396,500, or a total of $15,934,500, and Bonnette, Page & Stone with bids of $11,849,000 and $4,346,400, or a total of $16,195,400, appear to have presented the most competitive bids. The three remaining firms all submitted base bids of more than $12-million while their bids on the alternates ranged from $4.4-million to $4.9-million and their total bids were $16.4-million, $16.9-million and $17-million.

Champlin said that the relatively small differences between the bids reflected the stiff competition for what promises to be the last major school construction project until the Legislature lifts the moratorium on school building aid from the state. At the same time, he emphasized that the low bidder will not be determined until the Joint Building Committee decides what alternates to include and analyzes all five bids with the help of Rist-Frost-Shumway, P.C., consulting engineers to the School District.

Among the alternates, Champlin said that construction of the science laboratories and reconfiguration of the football field are the highest priorities.

The suite of science laboratories would be built in 22,000 square feet of space that will be vacated by the Huot Technical Center. Although the cost of the labs was estimated at approximately $600,000, three bids approached $900,000 and two topped it.

Harvey bid $883,000 and Bonnette, Page & Stone $889,000 for the project, while Hutter submitted the low bid at $865,000.

Two plans for the playing field were put to bid as alternates. Plan B would move the field slightly towards the east by excavating part of the hillside at the foot of Bobotas Field, creating additional parking for about 100 cars behind the high school, but leaving the steep section of the hill near intact.

The preferred plan, Plan A, calls for radically altering the terrain east of the football field by removing the hill and creating two terraces stretching from from preceding page Lake Opechee after explaining that it was a way of paying tribute to those who had died at sea and VFW Post Commander Glenn Groleau explained the evolution of the 21-gun salute to thee students, explaining that at one time in American observances there had been a 17-gun salute and it was only after many nations reached an accord late in the 19th century on a 21-gun salute that it became a more or less universal practice.

The combined honor guard then fired a threevolley salute before Taps were played, bringing the ceremony to a conclusion.

the rear of the school building to the far side of Bobotas Field, which is in Gilford. The first 350 feet between the school building and first terrace would be divided between a parking lot with spaces for 140 vehicles and a green space of 35,000-square-feet. A berm would divide the parking area and green space from the first terrace, which would hold the football field. The bleachers, press box and concession stand would be on the west sideline with lawn seating along the east sideline on the slope between the gridiron and second terrace. Practice fields would be delineated on the second terrace.

The bids ranked above are based on Plan A. Harvey bid $2,658,000 and Bonnette, Page & Stone $2,525,000 for Plan A and $569,000 and $549,000 less respectively for Plan B, excluding the cost of bleachers and lighting, which both companies bid at close to $500,000.

The base bids with alternates for the science labs, playing field (with bleachers and lighting) are, from low to high: Harvey at $15,500,000; Bonnette, Page & Stone at $15,761,200; Hutter at $16,058,000; Eckman at $16,530,000 and Conneston at $16,542,603.

The budget for the project is approximately $14,855,000 drawn from state, federal and municipal sources. The largest share of funding consists of $7,125,000 in school building aid from the state. The federal government has awarded the School District, where more than 35-percent of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, a “Qualified Zone Academy Bond” (QZAB) of $6,506,000, which represents a loan bearing no interest. Altogether state and federal funding amounts to $13,627,000.

State building aid will pay 40-percent of the QZAB, or $2,602,400 and the matching funds appropriated by the city will also be applied against the debt, leaving a balance of $1,524,600. In other words, the School District will borrow $3,899,600, consisting of the $2,375,000 in matching funds and the loan balance of $1,524,600, to leverage $13,627,000 in state and federal funds. In addition, Champlin said that $628,000, the balance remaining in the school facilities account, and $300,000, drawn from the district’s contingency account this year and next, would be added to the budget, bringing the total available funding for the project to $14,855,000.

Anticipating that the bids, including the preferred alternates, would exceed the budget, the School Board has begun a fundraising effort to supplement to supplement public funding with corporate and individual contributions. The ultimate goal of the capital campaign will depend on the final scope and cost of the project.

Belknap County Jail inmate walks away from Concord treatment program, considered escapee

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — A Belnap County Jail inmate who walked away from a treatment program in Concord Thursday night is now being actively sought after by local police and the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department.

Corrections Superintendent Daniel Ward said Michael Dupuis, 52, of Laconia was attending a court-ordered treatment program in Concord when he left the program at 8 p.m.

According to documents obtained from the 4th N.H. Circuit Court, Laconia Division. On Feb. 27, 2012 Dupuis pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing the reporting of a crime and was sentenced to serve 12 months in the Belknap County Jail, all suspended.

On the same day, he agreed to serve nine months of a previously suspended sentence with an additional five months suspended should he enter and complete a residential treatment program.

According to a motion for his release filed WednesEGYPT from page 2 representing a middle path of reforming a corrupt police state without lurching onto the divisive path of strict implementation of Islamic law.

The head-to-head match between Morsi and Shafiq will likely be a heated one. Each has die-hard supporters but is also loathed by significant sectors of the population.

The first round race, held Wednesday and Thursday, turned out close. By Friday evening, counts from stations around the country reported by the state news agency gave Morsi 25.3 percent and Shafiq 24.9 percent with less than 100,000 votes difference.

A large chunk of the vote — more than 40 percent — went to candidates who were seen as more in the spirit of the revolution that toppled Mubarak, that is neither from the Brotherhood nor from the so-called “feloul,” or “remnants” of the old autocratic regime. In particular, those votes went to leftist Hamdeen Sabahi, who narrowly came in third in a surprisingly strong showing of 21.5 percent, and a moderate Islamist who broke with the Brotherhood, Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh.

The Brotherhood, which already dominates parliament and hopes the presidency can seal its rise to power, scrambled to try to draw the revolution vote to its side. It invited other candidates and revolutionary groups to meet Saturday to “save the nation and the revolution” ahead of an expected fierce race.

The Brotherhood likely faces a tough task. Over the past six months, it has disillusioned many of

day in the Laconia Division Circuit Court by his attorney, Dupuis should have served four months of his sentence and entered a treatment program. He has been accepted into the Phoenix House in Franklin and can enter on July 2, 2012.

Dupuis had been incarcerated since January 29, 2012 and, according to his attorney, should have been freed on April 17, 2012 and if he was to remain in jail until his bed opens, he would have served an additional 73 days in jail “simply because he could not get into treatment sooner despite his best efforts.”

His attorney’s motion was that he be released until he voluntarily enters the Phoenix House in July.

Laconia Prosecutor James Sawyer objected to the motion. On Thursday evening, Dupuis left treatment in Concord.

Ward said he should be considered an escapee and asked if anyone has any information as to his whereabouts not to approach him but to call the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department at 527-5454, the Belknap County Department of Corrections, or their local police.

those figures with plays for power that left its wouldbe allies feeling betrayed and deepened the Brotherhood’s reputation as domineering and arrogant.

“Egypt is going through a truly historic transformation,” senior Brotherhood figure Essam el-Erian said at a news conference. “We hope the runoff is more heated, more clear and more representative of the spirit of the January 25 revolution.”

Shafiq’s camp was making a similar appeal.

“We know the Muslim Brotherhood stole the revolution from the youth,” said Shafiq’s spokesman, Ahmed Sarhan. “Our program is about the future. The Muslim Brotherhood is about an Islamic empire. That is not what (the youth groups) called for” in the revolution.

The breakdown of the first round voting provided multiple surprises.

2 juveniles invade Laconia apartment LACONIA — City police report they have two juvenile males in custody after the two alleged entered a third man’s Strafford Street apartment through the second story window around 12:30 p.m. Friday morning and assaulted him during what police are calling a home invasion.

Police said the victim fought with the two and they both ran away down Strafford Street. The fire department was called to the scene to assist the victim but no further information was available.

After searching the immediate

area, police found one of the two boys on Messer Street and took him into custody after a “brief foot chase.” The second juvenile was located walking along Church Street.

Both were booked as juveniles and charged with one count each of attempted burglary, accomplice to attempted burglary and simple assault. According to the police log, one boy is 16 and the other is 14.

The Belknap County Sheriff’s Department assisted police in their search.

INDY from page one that he added the “’c” to his spelling of Shafer’s name to dispel any thought that he was passing it off as an original or an exact replica.

He said that before he started building the car four years ago his wife, Penny, helped him with research, even contacting the curator of the Indianapolis 500 Museum for information about the car.

Franciosi then proceeded to fabricate the car in his garage workshop, doing all of the sheet metal work by hand, and it took him four months to complete the project. The street rod is powered by a 292 horsepower GM truck engine and rests on a frame that he built himself. ‘’All of the sheet metal is hand bent’’ he says, adding that the curved rear teardrop is made up of 22 pieces of sheet metal which he cut from metal electrical conduit and then shaped and welded together.

Not only does Franciosi do all the body work, he also does the upholstery, with assistance from his wife, as well as the painting. ‘’He’s one of the few guys left who does all of his own work,’’ says Penny, adding that he has placed in in the top 10 a half dozen times in major hot rod

competitions. He has also been featured in Street Rodder Magazine.

Francioisi, 69, and his wife moved to Laconia 11 years ago from New York’s Hudson River Valley after having been frequent visitors here for 10 years before that.

He says that he was raised in a background of mechanical work and has always been skilled at working with his hands. ‘’My father was a mechanic. In the service I was an aircraft mechanic and then I worked 25 years for IBM and another 10 with the U.S. Mint,’’ says Franciosi.

He says that the floor of his garage is his blueprint and that before he starts his projects he scales them out on graph paper.

This coming winter he’ll be starting work on ‘’The Black Submarine’’, which he is developing from an artists’ conception. ‘’I need something to keep me busy and get restless when I don’t have a project that I’m working on,’’ says Franciosi, who most recently showed off his Victory Special at Vintage Week at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon and 7th annual Antique Car and Street Rod Show and Family BBQ held on Thursday at the Gilford Community Church.

CEO from page 2 and to tie their fortunes to the company’s for the long term. For too long, activists say, CEOs have been richly rewarded no matter how a company has fared — “pay for pulse,” as some critics call it.

To be sure, the companies’ motives are pragmatic. The corporate world is under a brighter, more uncomfortable spotlight than it was a few years ago, before the financial crisis struck in the fall of 2008.

Last year, a law gave shareholders the right to vote on whether they approve of the CEO’s pay. The vote is nonbinding, but companies are keen to avoid an embarrassing “no.”

“I think the boards were more easily shamed than we thought they were,” says Stephen Davis, a shareholder expert at Yale University, referring to boards of directors, which set executive pay.

In the past year, he says, “Shareholders found their voice.”

The typical CEO got stock awards worth $3.6 million in 2011, up 11 percent from the year before. Cash bonuses fell about 7 percent, to $2 million.

The value of stock options, as determined by the company, climbed 6 percent to a median $1.7 million. Options

usually give the CEO the right to buy shares in the future at the price they’re trading at when the options are granted, so they’re worth something only if the shares go up.

Profit at companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index rose 16 percent last year, remarkable in an economy that grew more slowly than expected.

CEOs managed to sell more, and squeeze more profit from each sale, despite problems ranging from a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating to an economic slowdown in China and Europe’s neverending debt crisis.

Still, there wasn’t much immediate benefit for the shareholders. The S&P 500 ended the year unchanged from where it started. Including dividends, the index returned a slender 2 percent.

Shareholder activists, while glad that companies are moving a bigger portion of CEO pay into stock awards, caution that the rearranging isn’t a cure-all.

For one thing, companies don’t have to tie stock awards to performance.

Instead, they can make the awards automatically payable on a certain date — meaning all the CEO has to do is stick around.

Glendale ‘summit’ focuses on boating safety

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Several boating affiliated groups met at what was billed as a ‘’Safety Summit’’ Friday at New Hampshire Marine Patrol headquarters in Glendale.

Taking part in the meeting were representatives of the Marine Patrol, the Safe Boaters of N.H., the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the N.H. Marine Trades Association.

Scott Verdonck, former president of the Safe Boaters of N.H. and now its legislative chairman, said that the purpose of the meeting was to open up communication between the organizations so that they can more effectively work to promote safety and provide support for the Marine Patrol’s activities.

He said that some of the important services that these partners provide include boater education

classes and vessel safety checks and that it was an appropriate time to meet as Memorial Day weekend is the traditional start of New Hampshire’s recreational boating season and that the week which was just ending was also National Safe Boating Week.

He said that this year’s campaign message is “Wear It” and encourages all boaters to wear their life jacket.

Dunleavey said that by far the largest number of boating-related deaths, 80-percent, involve small craft less than 18 feet in length and the failure to wear personal flotation devices.

He said that since the since mandatory boating safety education requirements were adopted in 2002 the state’s safe boating record has improved, prompting Crawford to add that boat dealers like Winnisquam Marine are seeing the difference the law has made. see next page

MAINE from page one of the referendum, said the Rev. Sue Gabrielson, the minister at the Sanford Unitarian Universalist Church. Other churches have held educational forums and training sessions on door-to-door canvassing.

The referendum, she said, is about inclusion, a “loving God” and being nonjudgmental and compassionate.

“What we want is for people to know that this is a religious issue,” she said.

Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, who created an international uproar when he became the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican church in 2003, is coming to Maine in early June on behalf of the campaign in support of gay marriage.

He will appear at three screenings of the film “Love Free or Die,” which depicts his life, in Portland, Lewiston and Ellsworth.

Churches in Maine and elsewhere have raised money from parishioners for political campaigns in the past on issues including gay rights, doctor-

assisted suicide, abortion and gambling.

Federal law prohibits churches and other 501(c) (3) charitable organizations from supporting or opposing candidates running for office, either through financial contributions or endorsements, said Brent Walker, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, a Washington advocacy group that supports separation of church and state.

“But they can, with near impunity, support issues and causes, including same-sex marriage referenda,” Walker said.

Supporters of Maine’s ballot question have said they expect to raise $5 million or more for their campaign. Opponents have said they expect to raise far less, but collection plate offerings will go a long way toward helping fund the campaign, Conley said.

Conley has been in Washington, D.C., this week at a pastors conference organized by the conservative Family Research Council. There, he met with other gay marriage opponents from Minnesota, Washington and Maryland, where same-sex marriage ballot initiatives are being debated.

Minnesota will decide in November whether a ban on gay marriage should be part of the state constitution. Maryland and Washington are expected to have ballot measures seeking to overturn same-sex marriage laws that were recently passed by their legislatures.

Conley also has obtained endorsements from wellknown gay-marriage opponents who recorded video and audio clips to be played at churches taking part in Maine’s collection-plate drive, he said. Those clips will also be sent to the state’s Christian radio stations as public service announcements.

Conley said Friday that he shot video endorsements this week in Washington from Ravi Zacharias, evangelical scholar; Mark Harris, president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina; Harry Jackson, a Maryland pastor and a staunch gay marriage opponent; and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.

Conley said he realized churches should play a central role in the Maine campaign after being in North Carolina earlier this month when voters approved an amendment to the state constitution affirming that marriage may only be a union of a man and a woman.

“I was impressed with the coordination I saw among the faith community in North Carolina,” he said.

1979 from page 2 after making comments about wanting to kill himself.

The legal proceeding lasted only around 4 minutes. Hernandez didn’t speak or enter a plea, but his court-appointed lawyer, Harvey Fishbein, told the judge that his client was bipolar and schizophrenic and has a “history of hallucinations, both visual and auditory.”

A judge ordered Hernandez held without bail and authorized a psychological examination to see if he is fit to stand trial.

Hernandez was expressionless during the hearing. He wore an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs. A police officer stood behind him.

The prosecutor who appeared in court, Assistant District Attorney Armand Durastanti, said it was “33 years ago today that 6-year-old Etan Patz left his home on Prince Street to catch his school bus.

He has not been seen or heard from since. It’s been 33 years, and justice has not been done in this case.”

Hernandez, a churchgoing father now living in Maple Shade, N.J., was arrested Thursday after making a surprise confession in a case that has bedeviled investigators and inspired dread in generations of New York City parents for three decades.

Etan disappeared on May 25, 1979, on his twoblock walk to his bus stop in Manhattan. It was the first time his parents had let him walk the route by himself. from preceding page ‘’We’re getting more knowledgeable buyers and renters than ever before. We’re able to confidently rent out 26-foot boats with 200 horsepower engines and know that they’ll return undamaged,’’ said Crawford.

Roscoe said that the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron will be offering free and confidential boat inspections on June 23 at public docks in Alton,Wolfeboro, Meredith and Center Harbor and that the inspections are geared to a higher safety standard than is set by the state.

Dunleavey said that boat registrations were up sharply earlier this year but may have spiked due to early warm weather which had many lakes ice free by late March. He said that the state will know better after July 4th whether or not there is a significant uptick in registrations.

Crawford said that from his standpoint it appears that boat dealers are experiencing their best sales in a number of years and that many of those sales are of pontoon boats, which have gained greatly in popularity with family boaters.

Verdonck said that another meeting of the organizations will be held in the fall and that he is looking forward to having the New Hampshire Lakes Assocuiation and the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department involved in that meeting, at which pro-

Devils advance to Stanley Joyce’s grand slam carries Rays past Red Sox, 7-4 Cup finals with OT win NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A year after missing the playoffs for the first time since 1996, the New Jersey Devils are going back to the Stanley Cup finals, thanks to a rookie, a 40-year-old goaltender and a coach who’d never been to the postseason in the NHL. How’s that for a turnaround?

Adam Henrique scored off a wild scramble in front at 1:03 into overtime and the Devils defeated the rival New York Rangers, 3-2, in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals to advance to their first Stanley Cup finals since 2003.

The Devils will face the Los Angeles Kings for the Cup in a series that will start on Wednesday here.

This series win came against the Devils’ most intense rival, and it was that much sweeter.

“That one was like Christmas,” said Henrique, who also scored the series winner as Devils’ firstround win over Florida.

It also was needed. The Devils’ blew a 2-0 firstperiod lead and didn’t want to head back to New York for a Game 7 on Sunday.

“It didn’t matter how it got to overtime, we were in a good position,” Devils captain Zach Parise said.

“We were at home. We just needed one shot.”

Actually, the Devils needed four shots to win the game.

Henrique’s winner came after Henrik Lundqvist stopped Ilya Kovalchuk twice and Alexei Ponikarovsky. The last shot lay in the crease and Henrique tapped it home.

Ryan Carter and Kovalchuk also scored for the Devils, whose biggest move this year was hiring Peter DeBoer as coach. He was fired by Florida after missing the playoffs in his three seasons. In his first postseason, he is hoping to lead New Jersey to its fourth Cup. Ruslan Fedotenko and Ryan Callahan tallied for top-seeded New York, which had a good flurry just before New Jersey scored.

BOSTON (AP) — Matt Joyce hit his second grand slam in six games and Elliot Johnson had a tworun shot to lift the Tampa Bay Rays to their third straight win, 7-4 over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night in a game that saw the benches empty in the ninth inning.

Carlos Pena, inserted into the leadoff spot after a miserable slump, added a solo homer for the Rays.

Adrian Gonzalez had an RBI double for Boston, which lost for just the fourth time in 14 games.

The Red Sox (22-23) failed to move above .500 for the fourth time this season. It’s the latest into a season they haven’t gone over .500 since 1996 when they didn’t do it until late August.

Leading off the ninth Boston reliever Franklin Morales threw behind DH Luke Scott with the first pitch and hit him in the hip area with a 3-1 count.

Scott was restrained by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and the benches and bullpens emptied. There was a lot of pushing and shoving along the firstbase line that carried over behind home plate before order was restored.

Boston pitching coach Bob McClure and Ben Zobrist of the Rays seemed to be the two most heated, but they were separated. When things cooled down, Boston DH David Ortiz patted Scott on the back and walked him partly to first. A few fans and Rays players were yelling at each other near Tampa Bay’s dugout when the players left the field after the incident.

Alex Cobb (2-0), making his second start since being recalled from Triple-A Durham to take Jeff Niemann’s spot in the rotation after the right-

hander broke his right fibula, held Boston to two runs and three hits, while walking four and striking out two in five innings.

Fernando Rodney got his 15th save in 15 chances.

Jon Lester (3-4) took the loss, giving up a seasonhigh three homers.

Trailing 1-0 in the third, the Rays took the lead on Joyce’s slam into the Red Sox bullpen, his second in 13 at-bats. The other came in a 5-2 win over Atlanta on May 19, also Cobb’s start. Tampa Bay had loaded the bases on a single by B.J. Upton that was sandwiched by walks to Pena and Zobrist.

Johnson and Pena homered three pitches apart in the fourth, increasing the Rays’ lead to 7-1. Johnson’s went into the Green Monster seats and Pena, hitting leadoff for the third straight game after going 0 for 17, hit his into the first row of seats down the right-field line, just past Marlon Byrd’s leap into the stands.

Pena has gone 4 for 12 with two homers and four RBIs since being moved to the top of the order.

Lester, who had allowed just four homers all season before Friday, was tagged for seven runs and six hits, walked three and struck out four in four innings. He had held opponents to three runs or fewer in four of his previous five starts.

Boston cut it to 7-2 on Gonzalez’s RBI double off the Monster, but Cobb got Kevin Youkilis to bounce into an inning-ending ground out with runners on second and third. It was the last batter he faced.

Byrd had an RBI single and Mike Aviles a sacrifice fly, narrowing the gap to 7-4 in the sixth.

The Red Sox had taken a 1-0 lead in the first on Youkilis’ RBI single.

Developer Mitchell’s plans for expanding storage facility have nothing to do with former Lakes Jeep property, which he recently purchased BELMONT — Local developer Al Mitchell said yesterday he is not building a storage facility atop Prescott Hill — on the site of the former McGreevy Buick Mazda dealership — as was reported in Tuesday’s paper. The building was most recently owned

by Lakes Jeep Chrysler.

Mitchell confirmed buying the auto dealership lot for $343,500 from the bankruptcy trustees tagged with dissolving one of the small capital trusts managed by the now defunct Lehman Brothers and said the property had been through multiple phases of environmental review before he removed the former car dealership building that had been there for years.

“The building was too old and run down to be reusable,” he said.

He said that he has gotten conditional approval

from the town of Belmont to expand his existing Belmont South Storage which is also on Route 106. He said the expansion will likely go into the rear of the existing facility.

As to the former auto dealership site, Mitchell said he has two driveways and the lot has the potential for two businesses.

“I have a lot of great ideas in mind but nothing has come together to the point where I am ready to say exactly what they are,” he said. He said his first priority was to clean up the lot and make it presentable until he decides what to do.

He said he would like what ever he builds to be in keeping with the general area and said he hopes to take advantage of the spectacular views of the lakes and mountains that can be seen from Prescott Hill.

Indiana man releases hostages, then fatally shoots self VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) — A gunman looking for someone he believed owed him money shot himself inside an Indiana real estate office several hours after releasing hostages Friday, and he died after being rushed to a hospital, police said.

Two loud bangs were heard Friday afternoon before SWAT team members broke windows and rushed into the Prudential Executive Group Real Estate office in Valparaiso, where police said the gunman had holed up.

Valparaiso Police Chief Michael Brickner said officers determined the gunman had shot himself twice in the head, likely before they entered the building.

The man was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, and he died Friday evening, Sgt. Michael Grennes said.

The gunman’s name hasn’t been released.

“He has some history here, but we believe he’s from out of state,” Brickner said.

Police had received a 911 call about 10 a.m. reporting that a man with a gun had entered the brokerage office. Grennes said there was a “brief exchange of gunfire” when officers arrived.

One witness, Randy Baker, said he was shoveling asphalt in an adjacent parking lot when an officer wielding a pistol suddenly ran by and asked if he’d seen or heard anything about a gun. When Baker said he hadn’t, the officer approached the Prudential building.

CENTRALIA, Pa. (AP) — It’s an anniversary the few remaining souls who live here won’t be celebrating.

Fifty years ago on Sunday, a fire at the town dump ignited an exposed coal seam, setting off a chain of events that eventually led to the demolition of nearly every building in Centralia — a whole community of 1,400 simply gone.

All these decades later, the Centralia fire still burns.

It also maintains its grip on the popular imagination, drawing visitors from around the world who come to gawk at twisted, buckled Route 61, at the sulfurous steam rising intermittently from ground that’s warm to the touch, at the empty, lonely streets where nature has reclaimed what coal-industry money once built.

It’s a macabre story that has long provided fodder for books, movies and plays — the latest one debuting in March at a theater in New York.

Yet to the handful of residents who still occupy Centralia, who keep their houses tidy and their lawns mowed, this borough in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania is no sideshow attraction. It’s home, and they’d like to keep it that way.

“That’s all anybody wanted from day one,” said Tom Hynoski, who’s among the plaintiffs in a federal civil rights lawsuit aimed at blocking the state of Pennsylvania from evicting them.

Centralia was already a coal-mining town in decline when the fire department set the town’s landfill ablaze on May 27, 1962, in an ill-fated attempt to tidy up for Memorial Day. The fire wound up igniting the coal outcropping and, over the years, spread to the vast network of mines beneath homes and businesses, threatening residents with poisonous gases and dangerous sinkholes.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

What’s your favorite real estate movie?

Hey, it is the holiday weekend! Get out there and enjoy the Lakes Region! But just in case it rains, what is your favorite real estate movie? When you stop and think about it, there are more movies dealing with real estate than you might have originally guessed. Early westerns were about settlers trying to make new homes in the Old West, war movies are really about countries fighting over real estate, and horror movies are often about haunted houses. Excluding those types of movies narrows the field a bit.

One of my favorites is “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream Home” which was a hilarious comedy about home ownership filmed in 1948. Jim Blandings, played by Cary Grant, is an account executive in the advertising business who lives with his wife Muriel, played by Myrna Loy, and two daughters in a tiny New York apartment. Muriel is scheming to remodel their apartment, but Jim comes across an ad for a home in Connecticut which he feels would be a great investment. He contacts a real estate agent, who unloads “The Old Hackett Place” on them. It is a dilapidated, two hundredyear-old farmhouse. Blandings purchases the run down old farm house (without a home inspection, by the way) for way more than it is worth and finds that it is so bad it has to be torn down in order to build a new one. I think the home inspection business was actually started as a result of this movie.

The project became a virtual money pit with one problem after another including doors and windows that don’t fit, malfunctioning plumbing, and workers that don’t work. It really is a funny movie and one that I would recommend to any first time buyer thinking of purchasing a fixer-upper.

Mr. Blandings’ adventure spawned a remake called the Money Pit featuring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long which was filmed in 1986. Here the young unmarried couple (this may be the first problem,) Walter and Anna, have to get out of their apartment in the city. Through their friend (second problem?), who is an unscrupulous real estate agent, they find a million dollar home that is a distressed sale. They meet with the owner who claims she must sell the home quickly as her husband has been captured by the Israeli’s who claim her husband was Adolf Hitler’s pool boy. She shows them the home by candle light insisting that she needs to save money to pay the bloodsucking lawyer (third problem.) Anna thinks the showing was romantic, but Walter thinks

it is a bit strange. Anyway, they decide to buy the home and Anna insists on putting up half the money which she gets from her ex-husband (fourth problem.) Everything goes hilariously downhill from the second they take ownership of the home. Stairways collapse, doors fall off, the electrical system catches on fire, and even the bath tub falls through the floor. Contractors are called in to make necessary repairs which are supposed to take “two weeks” but instead take four months and brings the couple to near blows. But love prevails over all and the couple end up getting married in front of their new, but very, very expensive new home.

I recently watched a rather quirky movie called “Closing Escrow” which sheds some rather humorous light on the different types of real estate agents as well as home buyers. The movie is about three very different real estate agents and three couples who are looking for their dream home and in the end wind up bidding on the same property. One agent is a bit shady and uses some underhanded tactics to lower the price of the properties for his buyers (i.e. like taking a hammer to the walls). His buyers are also a bit off-kilter with the wife acting just a tad deranged when it comes to finding the right property. Another agent is a brash and pushy blonde who doesn’t hesitate to share her forceful opinions on everything from women’s lib to racism. Her buyers are attorneys who are more about appearances than anything and want to make sure the home they buy makes them look good. The agent gets really upset when the wife becomes pregnant forcing the couple to change their home search to less expensive homes which, unfortunately, pay a much smaller commission. One set of buyers are sweet, but the husband just can never decide which property he wants and the indecision drives their rather normal agent crazy.

The movie is filmed in kind of a documentary style and you need to stick with it for a bit before it gets interesting., but in the end it is fun. I’d recommend it for any buyer or real estate agent. Take a good look in the mirror.

Other great real estate flicks include Glengarry Glen Ross with an all star cast including Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Jack Lemmon, and Al Pacino. Also, buyers should see the Duplex with Ben Stiller and Pacific Heights with Michael Keaton if they are thinking about becoming landlords. These flicks see next page

Local groups work to prevent the spread of invasive plants among New Hampshire’s water bodies CONCORD — The New Hampshire Lakes Association (NH LAKES) has announced that 75 community groups have been awarded funding through the Lake Host™ Payroll Grant Program to prevent the introduction and spread of exotic aquatic plants in New Hampshire’s beautiful lakes and ponds this summer.

Hundreds of trained Lake Hosts, outfitted in royal blue shirts and stationed at most of NH’s most highly used boat ramps this summer, will teach thousands of boaters how to prevent the spread of nuisance plants which can ruin waterbodies forever.

Invasive exotic aquatic plant infestations—like variable watermilfoil—turn lakes and ponds into unpleasant and sometimes dangerous places to play; they can disrupt the ecological balance of lakes and they reduce shoreline property values. In some cases, exotic aquatic plants can “take over” a bay, cove, or an entire lake, devastating that waterbody and eliminating almost all recreational opportunities. Exotic aquatic plant species are currently found in 76 New Hampshire waterbodies and new infestations are most commonly first found near public boat launches. Lake Hosts work hard to prevent additional waterbodies from becoming infested Through the NH LAKES Lake Host Program, Lake Hosts meet and greet boaters, share information with them about exotic species, and conduct a brief survey about the boater’s boating activities.

Most importantly, Lake Hosts teach boaters how to conduct a quick inspection to remove hitchhiking plant fragments on their boat and trailer. Since 2002, hundreds of paid and volunteer Lake Hosts have conducted more than 428,000 courtesy boat and trailer inspections and have made more than 1,119 ‘saves’ of exotic aquatic plant fragments that were about to enter or had just left a waterbody. Boaters themselves have made countless additional “saves” simply by getting into the habit of always conducting an inspection before putting in and taking out.

Thanks to grants from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and TransCanada Corporation, NH LAKES provides funding to cover the salaries and benefits of approximately 225 paid Lake Hosts each summer. Participating groups, municipalities, and individual residents often contribute funding

to provide additional paid Lake Host coverage at their local lake. More than 500 volunteer Lake Hosts help groups meet grant match requirements while providing more protection to the local lake from the spread of nuisance exotic plants.

The President of NH LAKES, Tom O’Brien, describes the Lake Host program “as the best thing we can do to encourage lake stewardship. By providing the training, tools, and resources necessary for local organizations to protect both their lake and neighboring lakes, we are protecting the environmental and economic health of our lakes while maintaining their character and the value they have in our communities.”

Volunteer Lake Host Carol Smiglin from Pleasant Lake in Deerfield and Northwood explains, “This program is the best shot we have to keep the plants out of our lake—it is a gift to our children and grandchildren to help maintain the beauty and clarity of the lake.”

NH LAKES is a statewide, nonprofit, member-supported organization headquartered in Concord dedicated to protecting New Hampshire’s lakes, which are integral to the quality of life and economic health of the State. NH LAKES serves as a source of information about lakes and lake issues through educational materials and programs, and through its work with state legislators advocating on issues of water quality, boater education, boating safety, invasive species prevention, appropriate public access, and a balance of lake uses. For more information on the organization’s lake protection efforts across the state, please visit www.nhlakes.org or contact (603) 226-0299.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). That situation that went bad in the past isn’t worth depleting your serotonin over.

Maybe you already forgave, but forgiveness is sometimes more of a process than a one-time pardon. Forgive again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll challenge your own excuses and come up with an excellent way to frame things in your own mind. The questions you ask yourself will be important to the outcome. It’s better to ask “how” than “why.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A new source of encouragement appears to reassure you that you are on the right path. This could come from a friend, but more likely, it will be part of a teaching process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Strengthen existing relationships before you reach out to make a new friend or alliance. Otherwise, jealousies arise, and the thing you did to make your life more interesting will make it more complicated instead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be drawn to those who live life on a large scale, and you’ll be inspired by their stories and ways. When you encounter powerful forces, it makes you want to get stronger, and you will.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 26).

You’ll respond extremely positively to an unexpected event, triggering a wave of good fortune over the next 10 weeks. In June, a favorable trade has you smiling. Family visits are featured in July. September brings your chance for a job or position you’ve long wanted.

Unusual settings will be featured in November. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 50, 2, 15 and 41.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). As a rule, you think the best of others.

Someone will temporarily disappoint you, but in time, he or she will satisfy and exceed your expectations. There is more to this person than you currently are being allowed to see.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are your own person. When you are gently nudged in a direction, you won’t mind exploring. You will, however, politely and stubbornly ignore more forceful requests.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be in a position to make up with someone you’ve been at odds with for a while now. It won’t be necessary to admit you were wrong, though, which is good because you probably weren’t.

You could just agree to start fresh.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The day will surprise you. Romantic or creative passion motivates you to take a bold risk. One action leads to the next, and before you know it, the momentum will carry you into the evening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It would be a shame to let financial issues cause relationship tension. Strive to regard money with an attitude of neutrality. The less emotional you are about money, the better you’ll master it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a contest of sorts going on unofficially, but the stakes are unmistakable. Come up with a private strategy. You’ll probably need to take yourself out of the game in order to hear yourself think.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Professional decisions beg to be made.

There’s something you need to do in order to excel on the job. You’ll have to work on this on your own time, but the sacrifice will be worthwhile.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 26, 2012— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m in my early 20s and have been dating “Aidan” for a year. He attends college two hours away. He doesn’t socialize much and stresses a lot about his grades. His only real friend is “Cara,” a girl we went to high school with.

Cara lives in a house with several other girls.

The first time I met her roommate “Lisa,” I felt uncomfortable. I’m not the jealous type, but something about her bothered me. Still, I continued to be nice to her and supportive of Aidan’s friendships.

A few days ago, Aidan came clean and told me that he had drunkenly made out with Lisa. He said he was stressed over school and went to see Cara, but only Lisa was home. He got drunk, and they got overly friendly. He said he felt terrible and was tormented for a week before he told me. He promised it would never happen again.

I’m having a hard time trusting my boyfriend, and I certainly can’t trust Lisa. I don’t want him to be friends with her anymore. Aidan says I’m being unreasonable since Cara is his only friend. He doesn’t want to cause problems or be lonely because he can’t go to her house or has to leave if Lisa is there.

I’m hurt and confused by his perception of the situation.

He doesn’t think it should be a big deal because he didn’t sleep with her. I want Lisa completely out of the picture. I feel that Aidan is more worried about upsetting Cara and her roommates than he is about upsetting me. Shouldn’t he take my side? -- Northern Petunia Dear Northern: Yes. We agree that he needn’t give up his friendship with Cara, but being around Lisa is problematic.

Aidan needs to support your position on this and take the necessary steps to avoid being in a compromising place. He can see Cara outside of her apartment. If he is unwilling to

change his visiting habits, you need to decide whether you can trust him or not.

Dear Annie: I have no family or friends to speak of. I have joined too many dating services to count. It looks like I am going to be by myself for whatever time I have left. So what does one do with one’s personal effects when they have no one to whom to leave it all?

I am 54, and every year it gets a little scarier. I have been able to figure out pretty much any problem in life, but this one has me stuck. -- Worried Woman Dear Worried: You can donate personal items to charity, a local historical society, a women’s shelter or any organization that would appreciate them. But also consider seeing a counselor. Someone who has no friends could use a little help finding out why and learning ways to change that dynamic. We also recommend doing some volunteer work in your area. It will lift your spirits and help others.

Dear Annie: “Sad Wife” wants her husband to be the breadwinner, but he suffers from low self-esteem and works a minimum-wage job. Meanwhile, they just had a baby, and she was forced to go back to work.

She needs to take responsibility for her bad choices. Wanting her husband to be the breadwinner is her priority, not his.

She should have married someone who was already capable of supporting a family, not someone who promised he would take steps to make it happen. And if it’s so important for her to be a stay-at-home mom, why did she get pregnant with a guy who had a minimum-wage job?

If she regrets her choices, she needs to “man up” and either leave him or find a solution, such as a job that allows her to work from home. -- LYC

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 26, 2012 — Page 29

‘The Cheerleader’, now 39, goes digital in 5th printing

SANDWICH — At the recent White House Correspondents Dinner, host Jimmy Kimmel remarked that his high-school history teacher, Mr. Mills, had told him he would never amount to anything. Kimmel pointed out that “I’m about to high-five the President of the United States!”

Mr. Mills, obviously, had made an incorrect prediction.

Watching a clip of this on This Week, host George Stephanopoulos laughed and observed, “It is always all about high school.”

Ruth Doan MacDougall’s bestselling novel “The Cheerleader” is all about high school, and that’s what has made it a coming-of-age classic and a favorite book. As the “Kansas City Star” book reviewer wrote when the book was published in 1973, it describes “one of the major communal democratic experiences shared by Americans—going to high school.”

Now “The Cheerleader” has entered the twenty-first century.

Its fifth printing has just been published, and it is the first “Cheerleader” printing to be digitized.

The designer of this new printing has retained the look of the original book, which was a challenge because fashions in type fonts have changed. She has succeeded so well that even the most devoted fans, who reread and reread the book so often they have it memorized, will probably not notice any difference.

And readers do reread it. As one reviewer wrote, “Rereading

it is like snuggling into a warm blanket or drinking a warm cup of cider, and I think that’s what a ‘favorite book’ should be.”

Bill Bryson has mentioned in his Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid that according to a Gallup poll, “1957 was the happiest year ever recorded in the U.S.” Evidently reading about the Class of 1957 in “The Cheerleader” is a happy experience, too.

However, as Kimmel’s joke illustrates, memories of high school are definitely not all pleasant. In his “Is There Life after High School?”, Ralph Keyes quoted passages from “The Cheerleader,” which he called “painfully authentic.” Alix Kates Shulman, author of “Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen,” said, “Read it if you can bear to remember it.”

To answer the readers’ questions about “What happened next?”, MacDougall has written four sequels. The most recent, “A Born Maniac,” was published last November.

MacDougall was born and grew up in Laconia and has lived in Center Sandwich for the past thirty-six years with her husband, Don. “The Cheerleader” (ISBN 9780-9663352-7-9; trade paperback; $17.95) is published by Frigate Books and distributed by Midpoint Trade Books. It is available at bookstores, online bookstores, and postage-free on MacDougall’s Web site, www.ruthdoanmacdougall.com

Interactive map of water quality data for Lake Winnipesaukee now online MEREDITH — Getting water quality data for Lake Winnipesaukee out to the general public has proven a challenge over the years. Two volunteer lake sampling programs; the NH Department of Environmental Service’s Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP), and the University of New Hampshire Center for Freshwater Biology’s “Lakes Lay Monitoring Program” (LLMP), as well as data collected by NH Department of Environmental Services staff and independent sampling studies conducted within communities, means there is a lot of water quality data ‘floating’ around. Gathering and housing this data in one database has been the goal of the NH DES’ Environmental Monitoring Database (EMD) in order to present as complete a picture as possible of the water quality for a particular waterbody.

Volunteer water quality monitoring on Lake Winnipesaukee has been operated through the UNH LLMP for approximately twenty-five years. Traditionally the UNH LLMP provides water quality reports to the groups that sponsor the monitoring. These reports provide an excellent nontechnical summary of the results and the parameters sampled, as well as detailed water quality data for the season, and comparisons of the data to previous years.

With funding obtained from the National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration and the Pardoe Foundation, the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association and the Lakes Region Planning Commission contracted with Applied Geographics, Inc. and GreenInfo Network to bring the available data housed in

the EMD to life in a visual format. The goal was to convey the water quality data for the lake in a snapshot.

The map, which can be found on the Winnipesaukee Gateway website (http://winnipesaukeegateway.org/), offers the user the ability to access a summary of the water quality data at various sampling stations for three parameters; phosphorus, chlorophylla, and secchi disk depth for the entire lake. The range of colors shown in the legend follows the current NH State Nutrient Criteria standards established in 2010 for Total Phosphorus and Chlorophyll-a.

Users will have the option to look at data from the most recent sampling season for each parameter, or change the map to display other options, such as the average reading for the last 10 yrs. or the average reading for all years sampled. Empty circles outlined in blue indicate sites that are either not currently monitored or not analyzed for a particular parameter. Many of the clear circles represent historical sites, which were actively sampled in the 1980-90’s, but have not had sampling conducted within the last 10 years.

Clicking on a station will bring up a table of information for that site; station identification, monitoring program, contact information, sponsor, and a summary of the available data.

A look at the phosphorus map shows a lot of white dots, with some lighter and darker orange spots concentrated in the Moultonborough Bay Inlet area and a few scattered elsewhere on the lake. While this may not look very dramatic it clearly shows that phosphorus levels in the lake as a see next page

from preceding page whole are below 8 ug/L, which is considered good for aquatic life. Moultonborough Bay Inlet’s phosphorus values are generally higher than elsewhere. This is not surprising as this area of the lake has a high occurrence of milfoil and phosphorus is not only a necessary nutrient or food for plant growth, it is also part of a plant’s structure.

Lady Gaga won’t change to appease protestors SINGAPORE (AP) — Lady Gaga’s manager says the pop diva has no plans to tone down her act, even if that prevents her from performing in some countries on her Asian tour.

The Straits Times newspaper of Singapore reported Friday that Troy Carter said Lady Gaga “plays the show as it is,” and that she is not “provocative for the sake of being provocative.”

Indonesian police denied a permit for her sold-out

show in Jakarta after Islamic hard-liners threatened violence, saying her sexy clothes and dance moves could corrupt youth. They later hinted the planned June 3 show could go on if she tones down the show.

Lady Gaga delivered a cryptic message about the situation this week. She tweeted that if the show went on as scheduled she would perform alone.

Celtics prepare for ‘no tomorrow’ Game 7 WALTHAM, Mass.

(AP) — Kevin Garnett won’t be posting any comments from the 76ers owners on his mental bulletin board.

The Philadelphia fans won’t be getting all riled up over comments deriding their loyalty.

“It’s Game 7. There’s no tomorrow,” Celtics captain Paul Pierce said before practice on Friday. “If this is not the most important thing to you right now, there is no way to motivate you as a basketball player.”

The Celtics and Sixers will play Saturday night for a spot in the Eastern Conference finals, where one of them will face the Miami Heat for the right to play for the NBA title.

The 76ers forced the series to a decisive game by beating Boston 82-75 on Wednesday, keeping alive a surprising run that started when they knocked out top-seeded Chicago in the first round.

“I think they’re excited about the chance to go in there and have this Game 7 and see what we can do,” Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said. “I don’t think we have any fear. I haven’t felt that in our guys at all.

When we have played poorly, it’s not out of being fearful. I think sometimes we don’t execute well.

That to me has nothing to do with whether or not the guys believe they can do it.”

The Sixers have not been to a Game 7 since 2001, and Collins said he was relying on the energy of a young team that has just one 30-year-old, Elton Brand, getting significant playing time. The Celtics, who have three in the starting lineup alone, are 3-2 in seventh games since the new Big Three was assembled in 2007.

Brand said his younger teammates are ready.

Philadelphia point guard Jrue Holiday, who called Game 6 the “end of the world,” said this would be “The End of the World II.”

“They’re not scared of the moment at all, which is really good for our team,” Brand said.

“Some of the older guys are saying, ‘Hey, we don’t get this opportunity too many times. So let’s try to win this game.’”

That’s also the mood in Boston, where they are gearing up for the last run of the new Big Three.

Pierce is under contract, but Garnett and Ray Allen are free agents at the end of the season.

Still, Garnett wasn’t manufacturing anything to motivate himself for the game, like he did for the finale against Atlanta when he fix-

ated on comments by a Hawks owner calling him a dirty player. (He then fed the Sixers bulletin board material this week when he said they had fair-weather fans.)

Allen said he wasn’t thinking — yet — about the possibility it could be his last game in a Boston uniform.

“We’ve been so fortunate to do what we’ve done here,” he said. “It seems like we’ve been ruled out so many times before, so many years before. It’s just another opportunity to go out and be who we are, so we’re not worried about what’s beyond tomorrow.”
