Judge orders Weirs building taken down by June 14 By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — District Court Judge Jim Carroll ruled Friday that the charred shell of a former landmark Weirs Beach restaurant and motel must be razed before June 14. Carroll’s ruling comes just one day after he heard arguments from the city and Brandi Baldi,
“The Court finds that the property at 36 Endicott St. presents a hazardous condition which constitutes ‘a fire hazard (and) or a hazard to public safety (and) or health,’” Carroll wrote, citing N.H. RSA 155-B:1 the part of the state building code that regulates the destruction of burnt buildings. Should the city have to con-
tract for the demolition, RSA 155 also allows it to place a lien on the property owner to collect all costs incurred. He said the city’s argument was the more persuasive because of the immediate danger a second fire in the building would pose to firefighters. He also ruled that city see saLOON page 13

Storm drops heavy rains on Vermont; Winooski River floods Montpelier
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Violent weather swept across the Eastern seaboard overnight, dropping heavy rains that flooded towns from New England to Georgia, knocking out power and killing at least three people in the Atlanta area. Intense thunderstorms stalled over central Vermont, pushing rivers over their banks and ripping up streets. About 200 people were forced from their homes. Churning brown water from the rising Winooski River and a tributary flooded into the streets of Vermont’s capital city, Montpelier, sending business owners with inundated basements scurrying to move merchandise to higher ground. “It looked like the river was right there on my porch,” said Darlene Colby, 47, who was woken up by police around 1 a.m. She gathered a bag for belongings for herself and 25-year-old son and spent the rest of the see VT page 15

Russia offers to mediate ex-ally Gadhafi’s exit from Libya DEAUVILLE, France (AP) — Russia abandoned one-time ally Moammar Gadhafi and offered Friday to mediate a deal for the Libyan leader to leave the country he has ruled for more than 40 years. The striking proposal by a leading critic of the NATO bombing campaign reflects growing international frustration with the Libyan crisis and a desire by the Kremlin for influence in the rapidly changing Arab landscape. With Gadhafi increasingly isolated and NATO jets intensifying their attacks, Russia may also be eyeing Libya’s oil and gas and preparing for the prospect that
the lucrative Libyan market will fall into full rebel control. Early on Saturday, two NATO air strikes shook the Libyan capital, Tripoli. It was not immediately clear what was targeted. “He should leave,” Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said of Gadhafi. “I proposed our mediation services to my partners. Everyone thinks that would be useful.” The proposal thrust Medvedev into the spotlight at a summit in France of Group of Eight rich nations. Talk of this year’s Arab world uprisings has dominated the summit.
Analysts question whether Russia still has any leverage over Gadhafi, and the leaders of France, Britain and Germany said there’s no point in negotiating directly with the Libyan leader himself. “If Gadhafi makes this decision, which will be beneficial for the country and the people of Libya, then it will be possible to discuss the form of his departure, what country may accept him and on what terms, and what he may keep and what he must lose,” Medvedev told reporters. Medvedev said he is sending envoy Mikhail Margelov to the rebel stronghold see RUSSIA page 8
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday honored the memories of those slain in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising against Nazis, telling one elderly man that the memorial was a “reminder of the nightmare” of the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews were killed. The president also helped placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, dedicated to all unidentified soldiers who have given their lives to Poland in
past wars. By paying homage to Poles who fell in World War II at two symbolically potent sites, Obama’s gestures were sure to carry great weight in a country whose identity is still profoundly shaped by the death and destruction inflicted on it by Nazi Germany. In the final phase of his European trip, the president greeted Holocaust survivors and leaders of Poland’s Jewish community at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes.
He smiled, shook hands and hugged those gathered under a light rain, including some who shared memories of having met Obama at earlier times. “What a wonderful visit. I’ll have to bring my daughters,” Obama said as he exited the memorial. The monument in the former Jewish ghetto commemorates the tens of thousands of Jews killed in a 1943 uprising against the Nazis during Gersee POLAND page 10

CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire man was found guilty Friday of forcibly raping and impregnating his children’s 15-year-old baby sitter, who belonged to the same church, more than a decade ago. The case involving 52-year-old Ernest Willis of Gilford garnered national attention because the fundamentalist Baptist church he and the girl attended made her apologize to the congregation. The pastor then helped ship the girl to live with a Colorado couple she didn’t know and put her baby up for adoption. Concord police did not locate her until last year. Before trial, Willis pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape but denied he forcibly raped Tina Anderson twice in 1997. She said it happened once while he was giving her driving lessons and again at her home weeks later. Willis testified that the two had sex on only one occasion and it was consensual. The Associated Press typically does not identify those who say they are victims of sexual assault, but Anderson asked that her name be used. Anderson, now 29, said in a victim impact statement Friday that Willis destroyed the person she
was and filled her with shame and guilt. Willis looked at her throughout her statement, his face appearing flush. “When he decided his sexual gratification was the most important thing in his life, he shattered mine,” Anderson said. It appeared the jury was about to head home Friday without returning verdicts just minutes before the courthouse closed when the word “verdict” crackled over a security officer’s radio. Anderson watched, huddled into a supporter, as sheriffs fastened handcuffs around Willis and tightened them slowly and audibly. His bond was revoked automatically on the five sexual assault convictions. He faces up to 54 years in prison. No sentencing date has been set. He was stoic as he was lead out of the courtroom. The 12 jurors, who got the case Thursday, left without comment; the foreman said they had all agreed not to talk to the media. Both Willis and the teen attended Concord’s Trinity Baptist Church. The case was shelved until last year,
when online posts helped authorities find her in Arizona. “I thank the courage of the victim for coming forward after all these years,” prosecutor Wayne Coull said. Defense attorney Donna Brown said Willis would make a statement at his sentencing, but she had no further comment. Brown told jurors during final arguments Thursday that Anderson had changed her story over the years so she would “look more like a victim.” She argued that Anderson never said in 1997 that Willis forced himself on her. She noted Anderson’s testimony that she had trouble remembering everything that happened 14 years ago. The case pitted her word against his, and lawyers on both sides acknowledged in final arguments that at times it seemed that Trinity Baptist Church and its former pastor, Chuck Phelps, were on trial as well. The prosecution depicted Anderson as a terrified, pregnant teenager who was expelled from the church’s school, separated from friends and family and punished for being the victim of a then see GUILTY page 6
CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire workers considering retiring in the face of almost certain changes to benefits provided by the public pension system now would have until Jan. 1 to become vested and avoid being affected by most of the changes under a tentative agreement reached by House and Senate negotiators Friday. House and Senate negotiators working on changes to the public pension system agreed Friday to change the date most reforms would affect vested workers to Jan. 1 from Dec. 1. Negotiators are returning to the table Tuesday to continue work toward a compromise on the reform bill. Negotiators initially agreed to the Dec. 1 date after hundreds of workers began filing for retirement, not knowing what pension changes might affect them if the law changed July 1. Negotiators wanted the workers to hold off until they could assess how the
benefit changes affected them. Negotiators have been meeting to discuss proposed plans that would increase the cost of pensions for firefighters, police, and state and municipal workers. The plans are intended to spare property taxpayers the rising costs of funding the pension system. Negotiators agreed to change the date most reforms would affect workers who have the 10 years
in the retirement system needed to be vested. Under Friday’s agreement, they would have until Jan. 1 to reach the 10-year mark. The change would give the New Hampshire Retirement System six months to prepare for the reforms assuming the bill became law July 1. In earlier negotiations, the two sides agreed that see PENSION page 7

Attorney General clears 4 Manchester cops involved in off-duty bar brawl CONCORD(AP) — The New Hampshire attorney general has cleared four Manchester police officers of any charges stemming from an off-duty bar brawl last year in which a patron said he was beaten up by them. Attorney General Michael Delaney said the officers’ conduct was justified in a 92-page report released Friday. He had been asked by Manchester’s
mayor and the county attorney to review what happened at the Strange Brew Tavern in March 2010 and decide if criminal charges should be filed. The officers were suspended without pay, and charges had been dropped against the patron who said he was beaten by the officers when he refused to leave the bar.

The rule of law, Chicago style Question: What do the following have in common? Eckert Cold Storage Co., Kerly Homes of Yuma, Classic Party Rentals, West Coast Turf Inc., Ellenbecker Investment Group Inc., Only in San Francisco, Hotel Nikko, International Pacific Halibut Commission, City of Puyallup, Local 485 Health and Welfare Fund, Chicago Plastering Institute Health & Welfare Fund, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, Teamsters Local 522 Fund Welfare Fund Roofers Division, StayWell Saipan Basic Plan, CIGNA, Caribbean Workers’ Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Health and Welfare Plan. Answer: They are all among the 1,372 businesses, state and local governments, labor unions and insurers, covering 3,095,593 individuals or families, that have been granted a waiver from Obamacare by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. All of which raises another question: If Obamacare is so great, why do so many people want to get out from under it? More specifically, why are more than half of those 3,095,593 in plans run by labor unions, which were among Obamacare’s biggest political supporters? Union members are only 12-percent of all employees but have gotten 50.3-percent of Obamacare waivers. Just in April, Sebelius granted 38 waivers to restaurants, nightclubs, spas and hotels in former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco congressional district. Pelosi’s office said she had nothing to do with it. On its website, HHS pledges that the waiver process will be transparent. But it doesn’t list those whose requests for waivers have been denied. It does say that requests are “reviewed on a case by case basis by Department officials who look at a series of factors including” — and then listing two factors. And it refers you to another website that says that “several factors ... may be considered” — and then lists six factors. What other factors may be considered? Political contributions or connections? (Unions contributed $400-million to Democrats in the 2008 campaign cycle.) The websites don’t say. In his new book, “The Origins of Political Order,” Francis Fukuyama identifies the chief building blocks of liberal democracy as a strong central state, a society strong enough to hold the state accountable and — equally crucial — the rule of law. One basic principle of the rule of law is that laws apply to everybody. If the sign says “No Parking,” you’re
not supposed to park there even if you’re a pal of the alderman. Another principle of the rule of law is that government can’t make up new rules to help its cronies and hurt its adversaries except through due process, such as getting a legislature to pass a new law. The Obamacare waiver process appears to violate that first rule. Two other recent Obama administration actions appear to violate the second. One example is the National Labor Relations Board general counsel’s action to prevent Boeing from building a $2-billion assembly plant for the 787 Dreamliner in South Carolina, which has a right-to-work law barring compulsory union membership. The NLRB says Boeing has to assemble the planes in non-right-towork Washington state. “I don’t agree,” says William Gould IV, NLRB chairman during the Bill Clinton years. “The Boeing case is unprecedented.” The other example is the Internal Revenue Service’s attempt to levy a gift tax on donors to certain 501(c) (4) organizations that just happen to have spent money to elect Republicans. A gift tax is normally assessed on transfers to children and other heirs that are designed to avoid estate taxes. It has been applied to political donations “rarely, if ever,” according to New York Times reporter Stephanie Strom. “The timing of the agency’s moves, as the 2012 election cycle gets underway,” continues Strom, is prompting some tax law and campaign finance experts to question whether the IRS could be sending a signal in an effort to curtail big donations.” In a Univision radio interview during the 2010 election cycle, Barack Obama urged Latinos not “to sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re going to reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.’” Punishing enemies and rewarding friends — politics Chicago style — seems to be the unfiying principle that helps explain the Obamacare waivers, the NLRB action against Boeing and IRS’s gift tax assault on 501(c)(4) donors. They look like examples of crony capitalism, bailout favoritism and gangster government. One thing they don’t look like is the rule of law.

LETTERS This nation has been greatest force for good in all of history To the editor, It seems that Scott Cracraft is feeling the need to defend our trash-Americafirst Leo R. (the nutty professor) Sandy from a letter from Ed Chase a couple of days ago. Scott objects to Ed calling Leo a communist and describing him as evil and America hating. Really though unless one considers communism and America hating bad these appear to be simply descriptively accurate of the professor. As for evil I don’t know if he is that but that is best determined in the eye of the beholder. Let’s look at things through a different eye then Scott’s. Poor Professor Sandy, just because he cherry picks facts and events to portray the U.S. in the worst possible light and advocates we give over or national sovereignty to a one world, U.N. type, government? Well that doesn’t seem very warm and fuzzy feeling toward America now does it? As for communism, that political system historically has an abysmal record in both human rights and economically. Most of its leaders have resorted to dictatorships, mass murders, wars, all of which can rightly be described as evil. Allowing this to be universally true it appears Ed has some basis for his descriptive terms. There is plenty of history from Professor Sandy’s writings to uphold these
opinions so I can’s see where Scott has much cause for righteous outrage. The question of when was America’s glory years is another, eye of the beholder, issue. Progressives might say today with our socialist president spending on unprecedented levels and the national debt at unbelievable heights. Marxism has infiltrated both universities and secondary schools while some predominately Hispanic schools fly the Mexican flag instead of the U.S. flag. Like most conservatives, I don’t like these things. Scott criticizes Joe McCarthy and that era then finds fault with everything in between as though that was all there was to our history. Taken as a whole this nation has been the greatest force for good and human rights in all of history. Progressives who love to trash us and usually make excuses for terrorist groups while those groups bomb, murder and seek to kill as many Jews as they can manage does not to my mind represent good. All told even the days of McCarthy were better then then now. We were able to correct the excesses of that time but will we be able to correct the excesses of today and stop the slide into decline our current course is taking us? Steve Earle Hill

LETTERS Music critic Anna may want to look into group ‘Guns n’ DeRoses’ To the editor, After waking up this morning, “feeling like P. Diddy” of course, I picked up your newspaper and began to read. I was caught off guard by the letter written by Anna DeRose titled “The music of today sends the wrong message to young people.” I feel that Ms. DeRose would benefit from listening to a little more Billy Joel, especially when he states in “Keeping the Faith,” “…the good ole days weren’t always good/And tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems.” The music of the 1920s and 30s that she pines for were just as full of sex and violence as she claims today’s is, if not more. Billie Holiday sang about a lynching in “Strange Fruit” in 1939 (while she was addicted to heroin if I may add), “Mack the Knife,” a popular song around the world in the 1920s and 1950s, is about a man thieving, kidnapping, murdering, committing arson and even rape all set too a happy-go-lucky tune, also, as one last example, Cole Porter wrote and performed songs in the 20s and 30s with such overt sexual language, including homosexual act descriptions, that you would be hard pressed to play many of his songs on the radio today. I would dare to counter Ms. DeRose’s statement that “everything is going wrong today” because of the music of “Young Americans,” (quote David Bowie) with my own statement that while the music that she so fondly admires was being created, a world war was brewing. Lady Gaga, who’s name, it would appear, Ms. DeRose has a severe distaste for, has a moniker that isn’t all that strange in the great scheme of things. Plenty of past hitmakers from the time periods Ms. DeRose enjoys had incredibly strange names (See: Engelbert Humperdinck — not his real name by the way). I understand that Anna DeRose has different musical tastes than I do, and I do not judge her for it, because “baby, she was born that way.” Strong language and humor based off of bodily functions and body parts has been integrated into story telling for a very long time. Today’s music isn’t alone in this. Shakespeare, for one, heavily pep-
pered his works with such jokes, and these plays are considered pillars of English literature while being heavily studied in schools. These works are not “send(ing) the wrong message to the young people’” as you claim music with less offensive content is. I would also like to quell Anna DeRose’s concern that “young people are losing their hearing because of “all the loud music and bass.” First of all, Big Band music, which Ms. DeRose states she is a big fan of, is incredibly loud, hence why they call it “Big” band. Also, All of the twenty and thirty-somethings that I know that have lost all or part of their hearing have done so either because of medical conditions or have lost it while serving in the military. Neither of these appear, at least to me, as a problem arising from the subwoofers in a car. Instead, it would seem, this problem stems from people of an age who remember listening to “do wops” not passing the correct laws to protect soldiers hearing while on the battlefield. I hope that Ms. DeRose will take some time after reading this letter to try out some music from the past few decades. Some songs during this time period, it would appear, were possibly written with her in mind. “Kissed by DeRose on the Grave” by Seal, “De (Desert) Rose” by Sting, even “DeRose” by Bette Midler seem to call out to her. She also may want to look in to the group “Guns n’ DeRoses.” In closing, I would just like to remind Anna DeRose that thoughts and letters like the one she sent into your paper are what keep rock and roll fresh and rebellious. Young people are drawn to what older generations despise as a way to subvert authority and feel like they have control over popular culture. This goes back to the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and beyond. Also, I would like to thank her for reminding me to pick up the new Beastie Boys album, “Hot Sauce Committee Part Two,” because I want to make sure to support those who “fight for my right to party.” Dan Daly Meredith

LETTERS I write & call the government all the time; we can’t just sit back To the editor, I wonder now what the people are thinking of the latest tornado in Joplin Mo.? Does anyone think that it still is global warming? I think those of you who cannot see what is coming down the pike do not read the bible. No one knows when judgment day it will be. It is coming! Look around and see just what is happening everywhere. God is angry with his people. So now he is showing his power. Sorry for those who do not believe. I am not a fanatic, but I can see the handwriting on the wall. It is in the Bible. Read it folks and see for yourself. How do you think we were created? Feel sorry for the people who do not believe in GOD. We have taken GOD out of everything you can think of. So now he is going to change everything until people start to change their ways and bring him back into our lives as it should be. Where is Obama when you need him? So glad he is vacationing in Ireland. Just what he needs. Now you do know he is going to get another four years to finish destroying America! We do not have anyone that is good to run against him. I thought Donald Trump was the answer. We now know
just why he said he was running for president. Again it was for his own agenda. The world is in a mess and President Obama wants to send a hundred billion dollars to Egypt. How can that be when we are going broke? Is their anyone with GUTS who can run this country? Tony Boutin is right when he wrote about Obamacare, which is going to hurt everyone — just you wait and see. Like he said 63-percent of the doctors in Mass. are refusing to take Medicare and Medicaid. Now what? I don’t know about you guys but I write and call the government all the time. We cannot sit back and let all this crap go on anymore. I guess we are not MAD enough to take a stand. WAKE UP PEOPLE to what is happening and call the government and tell them all this is bad and we won’t take it anymore.The government is not doing anything to protect America and its people. Some of the jobs overseas are coming back to AMERICA! Now that is GREAT news. GOD BLESS AMERICA and its people. Anna DeRose Moultonborough

GUILTY from page 3 39-year-old married man. The defense argued that was all the more reason she should have shifted the blame to Willis and say she was forcibly raped and that Willis offered to pay for an abortion or punch her hard enough in the stomach to induce a miscarriage. “What happened to Tina at the hands of those people in her life is why she kept that secret for so long,” Coull, the prosecutor, told the jury. “She got shamed, shunned, silenced and sent away.” In her victim impact statement, Anderson said she was devastated when she learned she was pregnant, then heartbroken when she had to put her daughter up for adoption. She also said the rape has had ripple effects on
her other three children. The case that lay dormant for well over a decade was resuscitated in large part through the Internet. Matt Barnhart, a former Trinity Baptist Church member, witnessed Anderson’s “church discipline” session in 1997. His wife testified she was “mortified” by what the church did to the teen. Barnhart made reference to the session on a blog maintained by a group called “Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) cult survivors.” The website’s founder, Jocelyn Zichterman of Oregon, followed up with Barnhart, learned Anderson’s identity and location, and passed the information along to Concord police. Anderson testified she was in “com-

Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), chairman of the Finance Subcommittee, said yesterday that the list would serve as a “starting point” for the council. This week the Senate Finance Committee followed the lead of the House by concluding that proposed reforms to the New Hampshire Retirement System will reduce employer contributions enough to justify transferring them entirely to municipalities and school districts. The reforms themselves are contained in Senate Bill 3, which is currently under discussion in committee of conference where House and Senate members are seeking to reconcile their different versions of the legislation. The New Hampshire Municipal Association anticipates that eliminating the state share “will substantially reduce the financial benefit of retirement reform measures to local government employers.” However, since the reforms, which will include increases in the employee contributions, remain in from preceding page plete shock” when she picked up the phone on her husband’s birthday in early 2010 to a Concord detective’s voice asking her if she wanted to talk about what happened in 1997. It was her first conversation with law enforcement since the encounters. Zichterman and about two dozen men and women she described as survivors of IFB church abuse, attended the five-day trial, many wearing teal — the color embraced by rape victims. “Tina Anderson is a hero today, because of her incredible courage,” Zichterman said. “We hope Tina can now move on with her life and find a sense of peace.”

PENSION from page 3 vested workers would pay higher pension contributions beginning July 1, but most changes would only apply to those hired after that date. The public pension system covers more than 50,000 active and nearly 26,000 retired state and municipal workers, teachers, police and firefighters. Negotiators propose raising active employees’ contribution rates on July 1 to ease the burden on employers. Teachers, state and municipal workers would pay 7 percent instead of 5 percent. Firefighters’ contribution would rise from 9.3 percent to 11.8 percent. Police would pay 11.55 percent instead of 9.3 percent. Many of the proposed changes agreed to so far would only affect workers hired after July 1. For example, newly hired state workers, municipal workers and teachers could not collect retirement benefits until age 65 even if they retired earlier. Cur-

limbo, their impact cannot be calculated with precision. The association advised that if the state fully funded its share of employer contributions, municipalities would enjoy “significant rate relief,” but warned without the state share there may be little or no reduction in the rates for 2012. Without allowing for reforms to the retirement system, Cabanel estimated that elimination of the state share would add approximately $406,000 of expenses to the city budget. To offset the increase, she proposed stripping $46,275 in appropriations for socalled “special items” from the budget. Funding would be eliminated for New Beginnings, Child and Family Services, Boys and Girls Club, Winnipesaukee Transit and Genesis Behavioral Health along with the Laconia Airport Authority, Lakes Region Association and Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce.

city would not fund fireworks either on July 4th or at The Weirs, the Winnisquam-Winnipesauke-Opechee (WOW) Trail or milfoil control. More than half the cuts would be represented by reductions in payroll of $119,000 in the Fire Department, $105,000 at the Library, $57,000 in the Police Department and $12,000 in the Planning Department. Nearly $50,000 would trimmed from the Internal Service Fund, which holds money for acquiring and maintaining vehicles. Last week Police Chief Mike Moyer said that the department could save the $57,000 when Lieutenant Chris Adams succeeds him as chief, by leaving open a vacant position, which would be the equivalent of a patrolmen. But, he added that a detective would be moved to patrol to ensure all shifts are see next page rently, the workers can retire before age 65 and get a reduced pension. Newly hired police and firefighters could not begin collecting a pension until age 52½ even though they could retire at age 50. Newly hired workers and workers who don’t have 10 years in the system on Jan. 1 would see earnings used in pension calculations averaged over their five highest paid years instead of three years, which is the current practice. Negotiators have been trying to limit spikes in pension benefits paid to police who are paid for extra special duty assignments. The agreement so far would be to limit those earnings for police vested on Jan. 1 to the average paid over the previous seven years. The two sides tentatively agreed to drop provisions limiting collective bargaining and instead plan to study the issue.

LACONIA — “The number of calls for service involving weapons continues to increase,” Captain Steve Clarke recently told the Police Commission. Apart from crimes and incidents in which firearms and knives were used, Lieutenant Chris Adams, who next week will succeed Mike Moyer as chief, said yesterday that officers are more frequently finding weapons in the course of their investigations. Since the year began, Adams said in the city there have been two armed burglaries, one with a knife and another with a gun and a knife, a stabbing and shooting at a residence of Strafford Street, the accidental discharge of AK-47 on Bowman Street, and the reckless firing of a revolver into a neighboring apartment at The Weirs. Meanwhile, in Meredith one man was shot in the arm during a fracas at an apartment on Waukewan Street and another armed with a .357 revolver threatened to shoot officers and himself before surfrom preceding page fully staffed. Bob Selig, chairman of the board of trustees of the library, also assured the council that “we absolutely understand the situation you are in and sympathize with you. “ Without disguising the severity of the proposed cut, he told the councilors “you can trust us to see that the library is run the way it should be run.” Fire Chief Ken Erickson, who warned the council of the adverse effects of reductions in the department’s overtime budget, said that if further cuts were required he would eliminate a deputy chief’s position.

rendering to police after a hour-long standoff. “That’s all in just five months,” Adams said. Adams said there was a close relationship between possession of firearms and trafficking in drugs. He explained that those dealing drugs often have large quantities of drugs or amounts of cash to protect against others or they may have debts to collect. “Most often the two are linked,” he said.”It is not unusual to confiscate guns in the course of drug investigations.” For instance, earlier this month a man charged with selling heroin to a woman who died of an overdose, was found in possession of stolen shotgun. Adams said that officers train regularly to handle incidents involving firearms, explaining that the department reviews situations in which officers are engaged from across the country and develops training scenarios. “We are very concerned to ensure appropriate use of force while at the same time keeping officers safe,” Adams said. RUSSIA from page 2 of Benghazi immediately to start negotiating, and that talks with the Libyan government could take place later. Margelov said earlier Friday that it’s necessary to negotiate with all “reasonable” representatives of the government, including Gadhafi’s sons. In response, Libya’s deputy foreign minister, Khaled Kaim, said: “Russia is one of the traditional friends of Libya. ... We don’t think that Russia will sway its position to side with NATO.” He would not say whether Gadhafi had been informed of Medvedev’s proposal, but told reporters see next page

The sooner he accepts that and moves on, the better.” It’s unclear what exactly Gadhafi — known as the Leader of the Revolution or Brother Leader in Libya — could step down from. He has no constitutional executive position, but wields power by force of his personality and presence, making it difficult to guarantee that he has given up power as long as he and his sons remain in the country. The opposition wants Gadhafi exiled. Medvedev said he wouldn’t offer Gadhafi refuge in Russia but said with a grin, “such countries could be found” that would be willing to take him in. Russian officials have been critical of Gadhafi but also say NATO is using excessive force. Russia recently held talks with representatives of both Gadhafi’s government and the rebels.

OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND OUT OF $$$$$ One of the most important systems in your home, though hidden, may be wasting your energy dollars. Record oil prices are hitting home this season. Natural gas is predicted to rise an average of 24% and fuel oil a whopping 36% according to The National Energy Assistance Assoc. Your air ducts are a branching network made of sheet metal, fiberglass or other materials. Located in the walls and/or ceilings. They circulate the air from your heating and air conditioning unit throughout your home. If the ducts are separated, torn, or improperly installed, heated or cooled air is forced out of unsealed joints causing as much as a 20% - 30% energy loss as well as adding hundreds of dollars a year to your energy bills. Simply put, today’s homes are better insulated to keep heat inside during the winter. As a result, energy savings can be startling providing your duct system is not squandering the benefits. It is never too late to save energy and money by following a few helpful tips: * Inspect all visible lines for separations or tears. * Inspect the area around the filter. It should be tight. * Change the filters often. Electrostatic filters are highly recommended by industry experts. * Remove floor and ceiling vents. Use a flashlight and confirm the duct boots are securely connected to the floor and free of air gaps. * Inspect the duct boots for dirt, dust and other contaminants. Dirty air ducts can decrease the efficiency of your system and continuously circulate undesirable and harmful particulates throughout your home. 5 Star Clean Air Solutions of Meredith, New Hampshire specializes in the highest quality air duct cleaning and repair service. Our experienced and professional technicians will conduct a complete state of the art video inspection of the system. This provides our customers with a clear picture of the condition of their system. We also perform a post video inspection after cleaning to ensure the quality of our workmanship.

POLAND from page 2 many’s brutal occupation of Poland during World War II. Most of the insurgents in that uprising were killed, but the event bears great importance in Jewish history as an example of Jews bravely taking up arms to defend themselves against the Nazis. It’s also a key memorial in a country that before the Holocaust was home to Europe’s largest Jewish community. Among those Obama met was Halina Szpilman, the widow of Wladyslaw Szpilman, the Holocaust survivor featured in Roman Polanski’s Oscar-winning film “The Pianist.” Obama kissed Szpilman, a retired doctor who lost her husband in 2000, on both cheeks. A leading member of the Jewish community, Monika Krawczyk, was heard urging Obama to do all he can to support Israel, saying, “It’s the only Jewish state we have.” Obama assured her that the United States would be there for Israel. Obama arrived in Warsaw on a cool and cloudy Friday evening, hoping to inject some vigor into a relationship with an ally that has sometimes felt slighted by Washington. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Obama chatted warmly with elderly veterans in uniform who had fought Nazi Germany during World War II, including at least one woman. Several
saluted him. He also greeted younger soldiers and veterans who served in NATO’s mission in Afghanistan. The president’s primary business of the night was a dinner with 17 Central and Eastern European Union leaders. The president intended to emphasize how their experiences with democracy could offer real-life lessons to those seeking freedoms across North Africa and the Middle East. “We have taken great inspiration from the blossoming of freedom and economic growth in this region and we’re confident that will continue,” Obama said at the presidential palace, seated at a large round table with the other leaders. “We want to be a part of that process of strengthening your democracies, strengthening your economies and be a full partner, because we think that will be beneficial to the United States as well.” Obama was capping his four-country, six-day trip on Saturday with meetings and a news conference before returning to Washington. Obama did not come bearing the news Polish officials wanted: access to a visa waiver program for those traveling to the United States. Obama aides said he would provide officials a status update on the effort but was not in position yet to offer more.

A judge has now agreed with the city that it needs to be razed in the immediate future. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Ed Engler)
SALOON from page one met it’s burden that there is a danger of collapse as the building continues to age and be exposed to the elements. At Thursday’s hearing, City Code Enforcement Officer Bill Stewart said some of the primary support beams were burned and or removed by firefighters during the blaze. He said key portions of the remaining walls of the remaining building are listing and could collapse at any time. Carroll said he would not give any weight to the city’s argument that the building presents an attractive nuisance to the many visitors and motorcyclists who come to Weirs Beach, especially during its annual Motorcycle Weekend.

A number of Weirs Beach business owners have been pressing that the bulding be cleared away before the annual rally begins on June 11. They consider it an eyesore. “The Court finds that the correlation between Motorcycle Week and the building’s demolition lacks credence,” Carroll wrote. “The suspicion and cynicism for the riders of motorcycles is misapplied.” Baldi could appeal the court’s ruling, possibly delaying demoltion. Carroll also ruled the city had provided adequate notice to Baldi of the city’s assessment, despite its “inartful” presentation. He also said Baldi couldn’t prove there was a fence that surrounds the entire property. Baldi was not the only party to object to the demolition order. Alfred Mitchell and Andre Skonieczny are the holders of the mortgage on the property and, in a separate argument, said they had not had adequate time to foreclose against Baldi. Carroll did not address their concerns specifically, but their attorney, Roy Tilsley, who attended Thursday’s hearing but didn’t participate, said he interprets Carroll’s ruling as one that applies to his clients as well. He said he needed to discuss the decision with Mitchell and Skonieczny. Baldi’s lawyer, Freidrich Moeckel said he would like time to review and digest the decision.

BOSTON (AP) — Nathan Horton scored with 7:33 left in Game 7, sending the Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in more than two decades with a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night. The right wing on Boston’s top line cleanly beat goalie Dwayne Roloson by deflecting a pass across the slot from David Krejci. That set off a loud celebration among Bruins fans, who have waited a long time for a trip to the finals. Tim Thomas made 24 saves in his third career playoff shutout and second this season. Boston will open the Stanley Cup finals in Vancouver against the Western Conference champion Canucks on Wednesday. The Bruins won their most recent championship in 1972 and hadn’t reached the finals since 1990, when they lost to the Edmonton Oilers. Both goalies were outstanding behind teammates playing energetic, impressive defense in a hard-hitting game without a single penalty. With 3 seconds left and the puck in the Lightning zone, Bruins center Patrice Bergeron raised his stick while standing in the “B’’ symbolizing the Bruins at center ice. And when the game ended, Thomas raised both arms and arched his back against the net that the Lightning never reached in the decisive game as yellow and black towels given to fans fluttered to the ice. “I think a lot of people thought I was over the hill,’” said the 37-year-old Thomas, a Vezina Trophy finalist who was sidelined throughout last year’s playoffs. “I knew it wasn’t true. I put in a lot of work over the summer and I’ve had an unbelievable year. I’ve been blessed.” The Bruins improved to 2-3 in Game 7s under coach

Claude Julien but have won the last two. The previous victory came in the opening round this season, 4-3 in overtime over the Montreal Canadiens. Horton also scored the winning goal in that one. Boston is 11-10 in Game 7s. Andrew Ference started the only scoring play Friday night on the left side behind the red line with a pass to Krejci, also on the left. Horton was on the same side, but when Krejci got the puck, Horton veered to the right. Krejci skated in and threaded a pass to Horton, who put the puck in the open side between Roloson and the left post. “I don’t think he could have stopped that puck and I don’t think he could have done better than he did tonight,” Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. “It’s hard to look at. One little defensive mistake.” Roloson fell to 7-1 in elimination games during his career, including 4-1 this postseason. Tampa Bay rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Pittsburgh in the first round, with Roloson shutting out the Penguins 1-0 in Game 7 on the road. But after beating the Bruins in Game 6 to force one more contest, the Lightning’s comeback fortunes changed. “They have guys that can put the puck in the net and defend,” Boucher said. “Obviously, they’ve got it all.” Tampa Bay forward Steven Stamkos was struck in the face by a puck early in the second period and briefly left the game. He was hit on the left side of the head off a hard shot from the right point by Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk and he immediately dropped to the ice. There was some blood on the ice when the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2008 got up and skated quickly to his bench, holding his face. He missed about five minutes of game time, then returned with a full cage face shield in place of the visor he had been wearing. Boston’s Milan Lucic had the best scoring opportunity in the first when Krejci fed him for a breakaway. But Lucic shot it right into Roloson with just under five minutes left. The Bruins also had solid chances late in the second. Roloson made a pad save on Mark Recchi’s shot from a few feet away then made another when Recchi shot the rebound with just under 2½ minutes left in the period. The Bruins were denied again with 1:40 remaining when Zdeno Chara’s shot from the blue line was deflected over the net by Krejci, stationed in the slot. “I wasn’t concerned about my team,” Thomas said. “I was concerned about Roloson playing so well.”

Wakefield holds Tigers in check; Red Sox use homers by Ellsbury & Crawford to win 6-3 DETROIT (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have no idea how long Tim Wakefield will pitch. He might just go on forever. “As long as Wake wants to keep working the way he does, I don’t see any reason for this to stop,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “He’ll be done when he wants to be done, I guess.” The 44-year-old held the Detroit Tigers to two runs on five hits in seven innings Friday, as the Red Sox picked up their 12th win in 14 games, winning 6-3. “I’m just doing what I’ve always done — trying to help my team win games,” said Wakefield, who picked up his 195th career win. He’s been with the Red Sox since 1995, picking up a pair of World Series rings. “In a way, you are amazed by him, but in another way, you just expect him to be here forever,” Dustin Pedroia said. Wakefield started his lengthy career in Pittsburgh, playing for current Tigers manager Jim Leyland in 1992 and 1993. “He’s everything that’s good about major-league baseball,” Leyland said. The Red Sox, who have scored 34 runs in their last three games, got homers from Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford in a five-run third inning. “I was fighting my mechanics for the first two innings, but that big third really helped,” Wakefield said. “When the guys give you that kind of cushion, it gives you some wiggle room to make those adjustments.” Rick Porcello (4-3) gave up a seasonhigh six runs in three innings in his first start since allowing one hit in eight innings in a win over Pittsburgh.
“In my last start, I had command of all my pitches,” Porcello said. “This time, I was fighting it. I was just trying to find a rhythm and a release point.” Rookie Charlie Furbush kept the Tigers in the game with five shutout innings of relief. He has not allowed a run in 8 2-3 innings in his first two major-league appearances. The Red Sox trailed 2-1 until taking the game over in the third. Ellsbury started the inning with a solo homer, his second in as many days. Pedroia walked, Adrian Gonzalez singled and Kevin Youkilis gave the Red Sox a 4-2 lead with a two-run double. One batter later, Crawford hit his fourth homer to put Boston ahead by four runs. Crawford has nine hits in his last 12 at-bats, including two homers and seven RBIs. The five-run inning was Boston’s third in the first two games of its fourgame trip to Detroit. “Obviously, we are swinging the bats really well right now,” Pedroia said. “We’re playing great baseball, but we know enough that we’re not going to get satisfied with ourselves.” The Tigers added a ninth-inning run off Jonathan Papelbon. The teams traded first-inning runs, with Ellsbury scoring on a wild pitch before Miguel Cabrera’s single drove in Austin Jackson. Detroit took a 2-1 lead on a massive second-inning homer by Jhonny Peralta. The ball, estimated to have traveled 430 feet, took one bounce in the right-centerfield stands and landed on the concourse between statues of Hank Greenberg and Charlie Gehringer.
VERMONT from page 2 night at a shelter. School was canceled for the day in Montpelier and a number of other communities in central Vermont, and state workers were given a delayed opening. Plainfield, just east of the capital city of Montpelier, got 5.22 inches of rain, St. Johnsbury got 4.74 inches, and Montpelier got 3.89 inches, the National Weather Service said. There was also flash-flooding in parts of northern New Hampshire, with some homes evacuated in the Littleton area and a few roads washed out. In eastern Pennsylvania, a tornado that touched down Thursday in Schuylkill County was the second twister to hit the area this week, the
National Weather Service said. Another tornado hit Franklin County in south-central Pennsylvania. The weather service said the twister had top winds of 90 mph and traveled 200 yards, but no one was injured. In the western Pennsylvania town of Seward, high winds toppled a circus tent, injuring five people, including three children. About 120,000 customers of PPL Electric Utilities lost power across the state. Power was restored to about 72,000 by Friday evening, but the company said the hardest-hit areas might not see electricity until Sunday. In eastern New York, about 65,000 utility customers lacked power. Most of the New York outages Friday were in the Binghamton area.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
For Sale: Attabodabad Executive Estate With the demise of Osama Bin Laden, I was wondering if the local Attabodabad real estate agents have converged on the scene yet? After all, this could be a lucrative listing for some experienced agent who knows how to put just the right spin on things. A sale like this could keep him in goat milk for years. The first step will be to contact the owner of this fine estate. I am not sure if they have a registry of deeds in Attabodabad so they can go and find out who actually owns this prime piece of property. I’m not sure if they even have deeds? Maybe most people there are squatters, as it seems like Osama had been squatting there for the last six years. In N.H., you have to be a squatter for 20 years to own the property you are occupying. It is also called adverse possession. You have stay on the property continually, improve the property, and be open and notorious about being there. Maybe Osama was going for that. He certainly was notorious, but he wasn’t very open about being there. He had 14 more years to go and he needed to start improving the place a little instead of burning garbage in back yard. That’s against the law in NH you know…
Anyway, the agents need to find out who the owner is. I never have heard, have you? If Bin Laden actually owned or had money in the place (which I doubt), they need to check and see if his spouse, spouses, harem, or whatever are on the deed as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. Oh… I’m sorry, I forgot. Women don’t have any rights over there… Once Attabodabad Realty LLC lists the property they are faced with a couple of real dilemmas. First, the property is the best house on the street, but that really isn’t saying much. Come on, really, they originally said the house was worth a million dollars. I wonder who did that appraisal? According to Abbottabad property dealer Muhammad Anwar, a 22-year veteran of the hot local market, it is worth “Twenty million rupees, maximum. (about $250,000 — that’s still too much in this market) No swimming pool. This is not a posh area. We call it a middling area.” Osama apparently didn’t go swimming, at least until the end. The home clearly has no curb appeal and it looks pretty much like a three story mud hut. Butt ugly. HGTV’s Curb Appeal has their work cut out for them on this one. The floors are stained and the wall have lots of holes in them so they are really
going to have to spruce up the inside, too. But the real problem is finding a buyer. Who would want to live there now? Attabodabad was previously ranked #1 as the Best Terrorist Hide Out Spot at the HAMPLOT annual convention (that’s the worldwide meeting of Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Palestine Liberation Organization, and Taliban). Certainly that ranking has dropped considerably lately as no other respectable terrorist would want to hang out there now. It’s amazing how things change overnight! But, who else over there could afford such a spread? Oh yeah, government officials. Hopefully, we will be cutting of the $3-billion in aid we send to the Pakistanis and that would mean that those skimming off the top are going to have to cut back on personal spending. This could send the Pakistani housing market (if there is one) into a tailspin. I suspect that the agents may try to capitalize on the commercial or historical value of the property. I would. Perhaps some enterprising investor would want to create a museum or tourist attraction of sorts. Unfortunately, they may have to go before the mullahs to get the zoning changed from THZ (Terrorist Haven Zone) to NRC (non resort commercial) and a zoning change is no more guaranteed over there than it is here. Would an investor go to the meeting with an explosive vest on just in case he doesn’t get his way? One would hope… The best thing that could happen to this parsee next page

The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls supports Greater Meredith Program’s beautification fund MEREDITH — The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls has provided nearly $41,000 to The Greater Meredith Program’s Beautification & Conservation Fund since 2009, allowing for nearly 30 medium and large trees to be planted throughout the village. The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls collects voluntary donations of $1.50 per night from guests at their properties to support the effort. The Beautification & Conservation Fund Project is an ongoing venture of The Geater Meredith Program that raises funds for the maintenance and planting of trees throughout the community. “We are very proud to call Meredith home and to help raise funds for this beautification program to maintain the existing tree-scapes and add to the natural scenery along the Route 3 and 25 corridors,” said Rusty McLear, president and CEO of The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls. “We are also proud to partner with the Town of Meredith and the many other com-
from preceding page ticular piece of property would be an urban renewal project, if you can consider that dust bowl to be urban. Perhaps we could help out with that project by sending in the B-52’s to level the compound. I think our boys would be happy to help. And, I’m sure as heck happy to be selling property in N.H. instead of over there. As difficult as it is here, it is way better than what they have got over there. So on this Memorial Day, honor the soldiers that “evicted Bin Laden” and those that have fought and died to give us our freedom and protect us from those that want to take it away… Log on to my blog at www.lakesregionrealestatenews.com and leave me your thoughts on this report or the real estate market in general.

munity members who are true collaborators and active participants with us in this effort. The partnership between The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls and the Town of Meredith has helped to not only bring new visitors to our town but also to help maintain and enhance Meredith’s natural beauty.” According to McLear, Chuck Palm, the former owner of Harbor Hill Campground, also collected a $1 voluntary donation from his guests for this fund. Harbor Hill contributed more than $800 to the fund in 2010. “We are proud of our past efforts to help in the beautification of what is an already magnificent part of New Hampshire and we look forward to our continued partnership with the Town of Meredith Public Works Department,” added McLear. “We at the Inns & Spa at Mill Falls are confident that both our financial contributions and our physical endeavors to aid in the restoration of the town’s natural beauty, past and present, will help to ensure that Meredith continues to be the premier vacation spot in New Hampshire. Without the ongoing support of the Town and its active community members, this effort wouldn’t be possible. We are so appreciative of the many local landscaping companies who have assisted in planting, pruning, fertilizing, and helping maintain the new and existing plantings.” Credit goes to the Town of Meredith, the Ambrose Brothers, Planet Green Design and Installation, Landscapes by Tom, Bickford Landscaping, Nancy Lavigne, and many other private citizens who assisted in the efforts to plant eight Maple trees on the new section of Boynton Road; an October Glory Maple tree in the center of the Rt. 3 and Rt. 106 roundabout; two Princeton American Elm trees in Community Park; an Ornamental Crabapple tree in front of Sunshine & Pa’s Restaurant; nine large Red Maples along the Ippolito/Rt. 3 frontage; 10 “Valley Forge” Elms planted on and around Main Street. “These tree plantings have helped the Town of

History of ‘The Farm at the Laconia State School’ topic of presentation at Moultonborough Public Library MOULTONBOROUGH — The history of “The Farm at the State School” will be the topic of a free program hosted by the Heritage Commission at the Public Library at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31. For the first in this year’s Community Landmarks Series, Gordon DuBois will speak on the history of self-sustaining agricultural enterprise in operation from 1901-1971. The farm was an integral part of the Laconia State School, which was established by the state legislature in 1901 and opened in 1903 as the New Hampshire School for the FeebleMinded. The original 250-acre school and farm property was located along Parade Road, a site selected in part because of its prime agricultural land. Inducements offered by Laconia also helped to secure the city’s bid for the institution. By 1913, the property had expanded to 485 acres. The working farm was crucial to
the school’s operation, both for its production of food and for its role in providing residents the benefits of “hard labor” in contributing to their keep. The farm was a source of pride for the institution, and annual reports list extensive agricultural and dairy products, while detailing income generated by the farm. A 1962 brochure notes how “The School farm not only provides a training area for the residents but produces (annually) more than $100,000 worth of produce each year.” The dairy herd was recognized as one of the finest in the state, and the auction of its 105 head of registered Holsteins in 1971 marked the end of the State School farm operation. All are welcome to attend this presentation. For more information, call 476-8895, see the Heritage Commission web page at www. moultonboroughnh.gov, or visit www. moultonboroughlibrary.org.

Pooch Café LOLA
By Holiday Mathis proud of now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll take on a task that many have taken on before you. The predictability factor will work against you. So take control of the situation and execute the job in a way that is uniquely you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be dealing with shrewd players in a challenging game. You need an edge. Never let the others know fully what you’re up to. Keep them guessing about you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The clubs, leagues and organizations you belong to are sometimes more work than fun. Right now they’re all worthwhile, though, and you’ll be glad you made the choice to be a part of these groups. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have the right to be happy, not because you’ve earned it but because you were born with it, just like everyone else. You’ll enjoy life and share that enjoyment with others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be stirred by an exciting wonder. The best part of this is that you don’t have to go to the Grand Canyon or the Egyptian pyramids to experience this wonder. It’s in the eyes of another person. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28). You make highly original choices this year, which is why you repeatedly land in new and novel situations. Family makes you proud in the next six weeks. You’ll net a professional goal in July. August features improvements and additions to your team and exciting news, too. You’ll glide into an exclusive situation in September. Leo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 1, 26, 48 and 9.
by Richard Thompson
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You might not think that what you have to say is particularly profound, but it needs to be said and is, therefore, important. So plant yourself evenly on both feet and deliver the message. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Objects and people can’t bring you happiness, though you will have a great time pursuing a certain prize with others. Just don’t forget that the happiness comes from you, not the game you’re playing. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone needs a platonic friend who will stick by them through good times and bad. If you’ve let such a person drift out of touch, reel him or her back into your life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You care tremendously about your interactions with others, and that sometimes wears you out and makes you dread social functions. Relax and enjoy solitude. Rest up, and you’ll be more in the mood to mingle next week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When loved ones want to help you, let them do it. Pride could get in the way of some assistance this weekend, and that would be a shame. Gracious acceptance of help is a kind of gift you can give your people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re more remarkable than you realize. Don’t shrink yourself to fit in with a smallminded group. Instead, find the people who are thinking and living on the same scale as you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are a part of a group and a partner in work, friendship, love or all of the above. But you are not defined by these roles. It’s what you do on your own to fulfill your soul’s purpose that you’ll be most

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, May 28, the 148th day of 2011. There are 217 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 28, 1961, the human rights group Amnesty International had its beginnings in the form of an article by lawyer Peter Benenson that was published in the British newspaper The Observer. Titled “The Forgotten Prisoners,” the essay called for mobilizing public opinion to defend “prisoners of conscience” worldwide. On this date: In 1533, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, declared the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn valid. In 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, made up of freed blacks, left Boston to fight for the Union in the Civil War. In 1892, the Sierra Club was organized in San Francisco. In 1918, the Battle of Cantigny (kahn-teeNYEE’) began during World War I as American troops captured the French town from the Germans. In 1934, the Dionne quintuplets — Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne — were born to Elzire Dionne at the family farm in Ontario, Canada. In 1959, the U.S. Army launched Able, a rhesus monkey, and Baker, a squirrel monkey, aboard a Jupiter missile for a suborbital flight which both primates survived. In 1972, Prince Edward, the Duke of Windsor, who had abdicated the English throne to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson, died in Paris at age 77. In 1985, David Jacobsen, director of the American University Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon, was abducted by pro-Iranian kidnappers (he was freed 17 months later). One year ago: President Barack Obama visited Grand Isle, La., where he personally confronted the spreading damage wrought by the crude gushing into the Gulf of Mexico — and the bitter anger rising onshore. Today’s Birthdays: Rockabilly singermusician Sonny Burgess is 82. Actress Carroll Baker is 80. Producer-director Irwin Winkler is 80. Actor John Karlen is 78. Basketball Hall-of-Famer Jerry West is 73. Actress Beth Howland is 70. Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is 67. Singer Gladys Knight is 67. Actress-director Sondra Locke is 67. Singer Billy Vera is 67. Singer John Fogerty is 66. Actor Brandon Cruz is 49. Country singer Phil Vassar is 49. Actress Christa Miller is 47. Singer-musician Chris Ballew (Presidents of the USA) is 46. Rapper Chubb Rock is 43. Singer Kylie Minogue is 43. Actor Justin Kirk is 42. Television personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck is 34.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: A few years ago, I had a one-night stand with my married boss while attending a work-related seminar in another town. On the third evening, we had dinner and drinks, and one thing led to another. We had always been attracted to each other, and co-workers noticed all the flirting. We resumed our work relationship, although we stopped having occasional lunches together like we used to. He told me once that what we did was wrong, and it took him a long time to get past the guilt. Apparently, his wife always suspected that we were more than co-workers. My boss retired two years ago, but I can’t seem to stop missing him, thinking about him and wondering what’s happening in his life. I’d like to get in touch with him again, just as a friend, and ask if he’s free for lunch. I know he would not be able to tell his wife about it, but I’m not out to make trouble in his marriage. I haven’t seen my boss since he retired, and I don’t see why having lunch would be wrong. We could catch up on office news. That one-night fling just happened. He apparently regrets it. I don’t. My husband never asks questions about the seminars I attend, the people I work with or whether I am attracted to other men. I sometimes wish he were more jealous. I need a neutral person to tell me it’s OK to get in touch with my former boss. What’s the harm in an innocent lunch date between two good friends? -- Hesitant Dear Hesitant: Who are you trying to kid? This isn’t “innocent.” You slept with this man. You are still attracted to him. You would be concealing the lunch from his wife. And you want to make your husband jealous. It is obvious that you are looking to rekindle your romance. It’s not OK. Leave the guy alone already. Dear Annie: My father-in-law is marrying a wonderful
woman on July 4th weekend. I am very happy for him. However, my family has been planning a huge family reunion that same weekend. We asked my father-in-law specifically not to plan the wedding at the same time, but they went ahead and did it anyway. My wife wants me to at least attend the wedding ceremony, but I don’t feel right leaving after Mass. However, a lot of my family members will be in town for the reunion, and I’d like to spend time with them. Now what? -- Spread Thin in Texas Dear Texas: Your father-in-law knew you had other commitments when he scheduled his wedding. Your wife is right. Attend the ceremony, hang around long enough to congratulate the bride and groom, and then go to your reunion. Your wife can remain at her father’s wedding as long as she chooses and join you later. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Driving for Two,” whose husband refuses to drive. There may be another reason besides a phobia. When my teenage son was 16, we enrolled him in a driver’s education program, which he completed. He then told us he did not want to get his license. He felt it was too expensive to be added to our insurance, not to mention the cost of gas. He also said he didn’t feel confident in his ability to drive safely and that his friends would expect rides and distract him. Since we’re near good public transportation, he asked instead for a monthly bus pass. When he doesn’t take the bus, he walks, bikes or gets rides from friends and family. “Driving’s” husband may be too embarrassed to say he’s not a good driver. It might help her to weigh that against the ramifications of a serious car accident. -- Wish My Husband Would Stop

Shirley Mento inducted as new president of Belknap Mill Quilters Guild
LACONIA — Shirley Mento was recently inducted as the new president of the Belknap Mill Quilters
Guild. Past President Jean Vallaincourt passed the gavel to Mento at a meeting held earlier this month at the
Community Church. Vallaincourt led the guild successfully through its 34th year, which saw a series of excellent speakers and class instructors featured at meetings, stimulating members’ creativity and expanding their skills. A highlight was the quilt show, which had record attendance. Also under Vallaincourt’s guidance, with the assistance of
Guild member Michelle Plourde, was the development of the new website bmqg.org. The Guild meets the second Wednesday of every month at the Conference Center at Lake Opechee Inn and Spa. A social time at 6:30 p.m. precedes the meeting at 7 p.m. Non-members are welcome.

League of NH Craftsmen selects Walker Boyle’s ‘Adornment’ as Annual Ornament MEREDITH – A pewter ornament handcrafted by artist Walker Boyle has been selected as the League of NH Craftsmen’s Annual Ornament for 2011. “Nature’s Adornment” is a pewter
pinecone — a traditional motif for wreaths and decorations that harkens to the winter holidays. The ornament is Boyle’s unique interpretation of a white pine tree’s pinecone that has shed its see next page

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor gets nearly $1.2 million for memoir WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor says she received nearly $1.2 million to write a memoir of her rise from a South Bronx housing project to the nation’s highest court. Sotomayor reported the payment for the as-yet untitled book from Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in an annual report of personal finances, released Friday for the justice and her eight col-
leagues. Knopf revealed last July that Sotomayor had agreed to write the memoir, but the size of the advance had not been public. The book will come out simultaneously in English and in Spanish, but no release date has been set. Sotomayor is the court’s first Hispanic justice. Her parents moved from Puerto Rico to New York after World War II.
Justice Clarence Thomas also received more than $1 million in advance of the publication of his book, “My Grandfather’s Son,” in 2007. Thomas reported that his wife, Virginia, received salary and benefits from two conservative advocacy groups she created, Liberty Central and Liberty Consulting. The amounts were not disclosed; they are not required.
from preceding page seeds. A frost blue ribbon is attached to the top of the ornament so it can hang on a tree or wreath. A juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen since 2000, Boyle designs and creates pewter and metal figurines and ornaments in his home studio in Antrim. “My collection of pinecones was the inspiration for this ornament. It is specifically modeled on pinecones from trees that you see throughout New
Hampshire,” said Boyle. To create his pieces, he uses the ancient lost wax method of casting, as well as modern techniques of metal working. “It took me close to two years to get this pinecone design to a point that I could reproduce it,” he said. Boyle grew up in Rhode Island and studied painting and sculpture in art school. He liked working with bronze and other metals and decided to become a mold maker. In 1998, he moved to New Hamp-
shire to work with his brother in a casting company. Four years later, decided to pursue a career making fine craft and set up shop. “I have been coming to New Hampshire my whole life and really enjoy its natural beauty,” said Boyle. “Nature is a great inspiration for my work, as well as literature and art.” His brother introduced Boyle to the League of NH Craftsmen. “He brought me to the Annual Craftsmen’s Fair and I thought it was great,” said Boyle. “I am so happy to now be a juried member and be part of this wonderful, supportive community. The League provides great marketing and networking opportunities for people like me.” Boyle works with a variety of metals, but has concentrated on pewter for the past eight years. “It is easier for me to work with pewter in the space that I have. It has a considerably lower melting point (500 degrees) compared to silver, gold and bronze,” he said. “I enjoy creating and bringing my pewter pieces to life. Each piece seems to take on a certain vibration and personality, and that’s what makes it fun.” The League’s annual ornament selection, now in its 24th year, is open to all juried League craftspeople. The ornament is selected by the managers of the eight League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Retail Galleries, which are located throughout the state. “Nature’s Adornment” ornaments are sold exclusively by the League of NH Craftsmen Retail Galleries and at the League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair to be held August 6 — 14. Each ornament is numbered as one of a limited edition. The ornament comes giftboxed and sells for $22.50. Major credit cards are accepted for ordering the ornament by telephone at 279-7920.

‘Taxi,’ ‘Grease’ star Jeff Conaway dies at 60 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jeff Conaway, who starred in the sitcom “Taxi,” played swaggering Kenickie in the movie musical “Grease” and publicly battled drug and alcohol addiction on “Celebrity Rehab,” died Friday. He was 60. The actor was taken off life support Thursday and died Friday morning at Encino Tarzana Medical Center, according to one of his managers, Kathryn Boole. “It’s sad that people remember his struggle with drugs. ... He has touched
so many people,” she said, calling Conaway a kind and intelligent man who was well read and “always so interesting to talk to. We respected him as an artist and loved him as a friend.” “He was trying so hard to get clean and sober,” Boole added. “If it hadn’t been for his back pain, I think he would have been able to do it.” Family members, including his sisters, nieces and nephews, and his minister, were with him when he died, Boole said.
