Public will have say on making Cat Path a dead end

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The Selectboard will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, June 8 to take public opinion and vote on making Cat Path a dead-end road.

Other traffic regulations to be considered for the well-known shortcut between Routes 11-A and 11-B are reducing the

speed limit from 30 to 25 mph and restricting the weight limit to six tons.

For Susan Leach, who was one of the first people to build a home on Cat Path, the changes can’t come soon enough.

Leach recalls the times when Cat Path was, literally, a path that led from Route 11-A, or Cherry Valley Road, to her

house and the A-Frame across the street.

“It wasn’t until 1964 that the town even opened up the bottom of the road,” she recalled, remembering how her mailbox was on Route 11-B and she and her husband used to snow blow to the bottom of the hill just to grab the mail and her children would trudge through the snow

to get the school bus.

She also said accidents at the top of the road were very common because of poor visibility and, before the road was rebuilt in the late 1970s, Cherry Valley Road was almost literally a 90-degree turn at the Cat Path intersection.

LACONIA — New Hampshire Humane Society is working with police to identify the woman who appears to have stolen a dog from the shelter on Saturday.

After reviewing surveilance footage, Humane Society staff said yesterday that the person they suspect of the theft is a woman between 20 and 30 years old. The woman, as she appears on the surveillance tape, has long hair and was wearing a black skirt, a purple sweater and sandals. Footage from the surveillance system, which was donated last year, allegedly shows the woman placing the dog in a blue Volkswagen Golf with New Hampshire plates.

Marylee Gorham, the public relations director for the nonprofit society, said the animal, a shy three month-old miniature pinscher named Baxter that had been recently transported to the shelter from North Carolina, was noticed to be missing at about 2 p.m. on Saturday, during the busiest time of the week for the shelter. The dog had been among a litter that was ressee dOG page 15 Modern Woodmen

Body of 12-year-old carried out to sea found on N.H. beach

HAMPTON BEACH, N.H. (AP) — The search for a 12-year-old girl swept out to sea at New Hampshire’s Hampton Beach has ended with the grim discovery of her body, in waist-deep in water just south of where she disappeared.

The body of Nayelin Encarnacion, of Lawrence, Mass., was located just after 1 p.m. Tuesday, about 100 yards south of where she was last seen struggling against the current.

She and her 20-yearold brother, Walter Maldonado, were swimming about 75 yards off-shore just before 8 p.m. Monday when both began struggling to get back to shore, Seacoastonline.com reported.

A bystander heard their cries for help and was able to guide Madonado back to shore, but Nayelin disappeared from sight. The water temperature at the time was 55 degrees, officials say.

Police received their first reports of swimmers in distress at the popular beach at 7:50 p.m. An intensive search and rescue effort involving numerous see BODY page 10

Hoopla, hype hover over unsettled GOP field WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Palin draws crowds with her hide-and-seek bus tour. Michele Bachmann says Palin’s plans won’t dissuade her from her likely presidential bid. Iowa GOP activists travel to New Jersey to implore Gov. Chris Christie to run, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry weighs a campaign.

The Republican presidential field is far less settled than it seemed just a week ago, and it shows few signs of jelling soon.

With campaigning off to a slow start in

early-voting states, half a dozen potential candidates are mulling whether to jump in.

So keen is the interest, among journalists at least, that two news helicopters tracked Palin’s East Coast bus trip to Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The stepped-up interest follows decisions by three prominent Republicans — Haley Barbour, Mike Huckabee and Mitch Daniels — to forgo a campaign, making the field less crowded than some had expected.

Meanwhile, GOP activists don’t appear

ready to start narrowing their choices just yet. They seem unconcerned that an important Iowa straw poll is 74 days away and President Barack Obama’s re-election team is setting up shop in dozens of states.

Unease about presumed frontrunner Mitt Romney is prompting some Republican activists to continue casting about for new faces, such as Perry or Christie, or even familiar faces, such as Palin or Rudy Giuliani. see GOP page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans dealt defeat to their own proposal for a $2.4 trillion increase in the nation’s debt limit Tuesday, a political gambit designed to reinforce a demand for spending cuts to accompany any increase in government borrowing.

The vote was lopsided, with just 97 in favor of the measure and 318 against.

House Democrats accused the GOP of political demagoguery, while the Obama administration maneuvered to avoid taking sides — or giving offense to majority Republicans.

The debate was brief, occasionally impassioned and set a standard of sorts for public theater, particularly at a time when private negotiations continue among the administration and key lawmakers on the deficit cuts Republicans have demanded.

The bill “will and must fail,” said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the House Ways and Means Committee chairman who noted he had helped write the very measure he was criticizing.

“I consider defeating an unconditional increase to be a success, because it sends a clear and critical message that the Congress has finally recognized we must

immediately begin to rein in America’s affection for deficit spending,” he said.

But Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., accused Republicans of a “ploy so egregious that (they) have had to spend the last week pleading with Wall Street not to take it seriously and risk our economic recovery.”

He and other Democrats added that Republicans were attempting to draw attention away from their controversial plan to turn Medicare into a program in which seniors purchase private insurance coverage.

The proceedings occurred roughly two see DEBT page 12

Capital of South Dakota threatened by rise of mighty Missouri River PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Crews raced approaching floodwaters Tuesday to complete emergency levees aimed at protecting South Dakota’s capital city and two other towns as the swollen Missouri River rolled downstream from the Northern Plains. Meanwhile, the mayor of Minot, N.D., ordered a quarter of the city’s resi-

dents to evacuate areas along the flooding Souris River.

Residents of the upscale community of Dakota Dunes in southeastern South Dakota, below the final dam on the river, have been told to move their possessions to higher ground and be ready to leave their homes by Thursday, a day before releases

from the dams are set to increase again.

Several thousand people in Pierre, the state capital, and neighboring Fort Pierre on the west bank have been working day and night since late last week to lay sandbags around their homes and move to safety.

Those forced to leave their homes may see RIVER page 8

N.H. Senate budget chairman pointed in his criticism of DRED commissioner CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire commissioner is being criticized for a letter he wrote about lawmakers’ efforts to privatize Cannon Mountain ski area.

George Bald, commissioner of the Department of Resources and Economic Development, said Tuesday he never meant for his letter to Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Morse to become public. Visibly upset, Morse told senators at a budget briefing that Bald called him dishonorable. He did not name Bald, but Morse’s remarks clearly identified him.

“We set policy, not commissioners,” said Morse, R-Salem. “We need to bring honor back to the institution.”

Morse said people who write that kind of letter don’t belong in government. A calmer Morse later declined to answer reporters’ questions.

Bald said he was not arguing the merits of whether Cannon should be

leased — which he opposes — but that he called Morse’s office repeatedly to get time to discuss it with him but did not get a call back before Morse’s committee voted to cut funding for the ski area in the second year of the budget to force it to be operated privately. He said that was disrespectful.

“I didn’t copy anybody else in on this letter. I didn’t do it to attract attention,” he said. “I don’t want to have a public or private fight with Senator Morse. I did feel I was treated disrespectfully.”

Bald said he called Tuesday to discuss the letter with Morse.

Bald wrote on May 26 that he felt “every effort was made to insure there was the least amount of public process” before the vote on Cannon.

“I understand that you can do what you did, the ability to do it and the correctness of the course of action are not the same,” wrote.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are pushing back against Obama administration efforts to promote healthier lunches, saying the Agriculture Department should rewrite rules it issued in January meant to make school meals healthier.

They say the new rules are too costly.

The bill, approved by the House Appropriations Committee late Tuesday, also questions a government proposal to curb marketing of unhealthy foods to children and urges the Food and Drug Administration to limit rules requiring calorie counts be posted on menus.

The overall spending bill would cut billions from USDA and FDA budgets, including for domestic feeding programs and international food aid. The panel also cut some farm subsidies to cut spending.

Republicans are concerned about the cost of many of the Obama administration proposals, which they regard as overregulation, said Chris Crawford, a spokesman for the chairman of the Appropriations Committee’s agriculture subcommittee, Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga. Crawford said the marketing guidelines, released last month, are “classic nanny-state overreach.” Though the guidelines, which would restrict which foods could be marketed to children, are voluntary, many companies are concerned that they will be penalized if they don’t follow them. The bill questions whether the Agriculture Department should spend money to be part of the marketing effort.

“Our concern is those voluntary guidelines are back-door regulation,” he said, deploring the fact that kids can watch shows that depict sex and drugs on MTV, but “you cannot see an advertisement for Tony the Tiger during the commercial break.”

The school lunch guidelines are the

first major nutritional overhaul of students’ meals in 15 years. Under the guidelines, schools would have to cut sodium in subsidized meals by more than half, use more whole grains and serve low-fat milk. They also would limit kids to only one cup of starchy vegetables a week, so schools couldn’t offer french fries every day.

The starchy vegetable proposal has been criticized by conservatives who think it goes too far and members of Congress who represent potato-growers. They say potatoes are a low-cost food that provides fiber and other nutrients.

The Republican spending bill also encourages the FDA to limit new guidelines that require calories to be posted on menus to restaurants, asking that grocery stores, convenience stores and other places whose primary purpose is not to sell food be excluded from the rules.

The effort would dial back many of first lady Michelle Obama’s priorities in her “Let’s Move” campaign to curb childhood obesity and hunger.

“This shows a very clear trend in trying to undermine some of the important gains in nutrition policy,” said Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The overall spending bill would cut billions from USDA and FDA budgets, including for domestic feeding programs and international food aid. Even after some of the money was restored Tuesday, the bill would still cut about $650 million — or 10 percent — from the Women, Infants and Children program that feeds and educates mothers and their children. It would cut almost 12 percent of the Food and Drug Administration’s $2.5 billion budget, straining the agency’s efforts to implement a new food safety law signed by the president early this year.

What must we defend?

“We need to be honest with the president, with the Congress, with the American people” about the consequences of cutting the defense budget, said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in his valedictory policy address to the American Enterprise Institute. “(A) smaller military, no matter how superb, will be able to go fewer places and do fewer things.”

Gates seeks to ignite a debate the country seems reluctant to have. With a federal budget running out of balance by 10-percent of gross domestic product, what are we Americans willing to sacrifice?

What are we willing to forego? What are we willing to cut?

The biggest budget items are Social Security, Medicare and defense. To Democrats, the first two are untouchables. To most Republicans, defense is off the table. Indeed, the likelihood is that any budget deal to which both parties agree will contain escape clauses to enable Congress to avoid the painful decisions and kick the can up the road.

Consider the situation the U.S. military faces.

The useful life of the planes, ships, missiles, guns and armor that date to the Ronald Reagan buildup of the 1980s is coming to an end, and the cost of replacement weapons is far greater. A fleet of 2,440 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, for example, will cost over $1-trillion.

Military health care costs have risen 150-percent in 10 years to $50-billion a year. The pay and benefits of today’s forces, which are onetenth the size of those we deployed in World War II, have seen comparable increases. These costs are eating deeply into the dollars for new weapons systems.

And while we no longer face a Soviet Union with nuclear and conventional forces equal to our own, U.S. commitments have not been reduced but augmented since the end of the Cold War. Six Warsaw Pact nations were brought into NATO, along with three republics of the old Soviet Union.

Meanwhile, the disarmament of Europe continues in the wake of the debt crisis. Of special concern are cuts by the Tory government of Great Britain, our most reliable ally for 70 years.

While the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have been shuttled in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan, China has fought no wars — but grown its defense budget by double-digits annually for two decades. She now possesses submarines, missiles and aircraft sufficient to challenge the United States in the Western Pacific and is clearly intent on forcing a U.S. strategic retreat from the region.

“The tough choices ahead,” said Gates, are “about the kind of role the American people — accustomed

to unquestioned military dominance for the past two decades — want their country to play in the world.”

We face the necessity of choice, and perhaps the place to begin is for Americans to ask two questions.

First, what is so vital to our security we must defend it at the risk of war? Second, what Cold War commitments can we relinquish now that the Soviet Empire no longer exists and Russia no longer represents a global threat?

Once the Afghan War is over, certainly, a U.S. withdrawal from South and Central Asia would seem in order, as this is about as far from the United States as one can get.

The same would hold true of Korea.

From 1950 to 1953, the United States, with a 330,000-man army, fought both North Korea and China.

At issue was not only the fate of the peninsula, but the orientation of Japan in the Cold War. Today, Seoul has twice the people and 40 times the economy of the North. Pyongyang has no Stalinist Russia or Maoist China backing it up in a war with the South. Can we not now withdraw our remaining 28,000 troops and restrict our commitment in any new war to air and naval support?

China today not only claims Taiwan, but the Senkaku Islands that Japan claims, and all of the islands in the South China Sea, which are also claimed by Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Is it our obligation to validate all of these claims against China?

What is our vital interest in any of these disputes when every president since Richard Nixon has agreed that Taiwan is part of China? Cannot these countries buy from us the weapons to defend themselves?

Europe is as prosperous and more populous than the United States.

And the Russian army is no longer in Germany, but 1,000 miles to the east, behind the Baltic republics, Belarus and Ukraine. What is the necessity now for a U.S. troop presence in Europe?

Retrenchment is rarely attractive. But what is apparent today to almost all is that this country is now and has been for at least a decade living far beyond her means.

We borrow hundreds of billions annually from allies, to defend those allies. We borrow hundreds of billions annually from our children’s future to maintain our present lifestyle. Our leaders have yet to show the toughness and maturity the new times demand.

LETTERS Make calls, it’s not too late to keep right-to-work out of N.H. To the editor, I am a home owner and taxpayer in the town of New Durham. I recently contacted my state representatives to express my concerns with HB-474, the so called, “Right to Work Bill”.

After lengthy discussion with each of the legislators, it was no surprise to me when each of them explained that they would be voting to override Governor Lynch’s veto and push HB-474 through into law. One conversation however stands out my mind.

Sam Cataldo, a Farmington Republican, and I went back and forth on the concerns with Right to Work. I explained to him that Right to Work states had much higher work related injury and work related fatalities.

I was noting that these statistics came from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA) and the Center for Disease Control, (CDC). Both are federally funded agencies whose main focus is on work place related safety. They also happen to have very informative websites.

At this point, Representative Cataldo appeared to become aggravated. He then tried to explain to me that, “these websites are all lies and being funded by unions.” This left me speechless to say the very least.

Representative Cataldo’s comments were obviously not factual. They were inappropriate and misinformed to say the very least.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation about Right to Work and its many negative effects that it will have on New Hampshire businesses and its employees, union or not. My only hope is that every voter educates themselves on this subject and contacts their representatives to share their voice. If representatives had the real facts on Right to Work, I believe they would not support the speaker on this piece of legislation.

It’s not too late to keep Right to Work law out of our state. That is assuming Speaker of the House Bill O’Brien actually calls the vote.

Bring 3 soldiers home from Afghanistan and save $1.2-million To the editor, It is incredible that 207 Republican congressmen voted against a resolution to accelerate the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. It is also apparent that business interests, of this select group, in continuing the war, has precedence over the saving of lives, ours and theirs. Afghanistan has a history of corruption at the highest level, and the inability to establish a legitimate government. We are unable to change that! Most importantly, contrary to contrived assertions; they are not at threat to us in any way. Those who maintain that they are, are without recognizable proof! We have been safe from (terrorist) aggression for many years. We have been lied to so often a statement that says,” It would send them the wrong message!” seems

ludicrous!

To keep a soldier in a middle eastern country for one year costs, $390,000. Bring three soldiers home, save $1,170,000.

If the Republicans really wants to reduce the federal deficit, why not start here. After all, these wars: Iraq and Afghanistan are the invention of George W. Bush, supported by a majority of Republican; year after year, without fail. The cost of these wars is in the vicinity of four trillion dollars. The cost of human life is beyond circulation: It is our most precious resource!

Save lives! Bring home these tired, faithful warriors, to their families and grateful citizens!

LETTERS Some of are just way too far to the middle to be easily convinced

Many of our founders were deists who embraced philosophy of reason

To the editor, I am writing to encourage Mr. Cracraft and some others to continue writing to The Laconia Daily Sun. Hopefully we can get to hear more of these balanced views published and not have the paper’s excellent forum continuously pirated by these Darwinist extremists.

Some of these people think that anyone who agrees with them a bit on even one issue must be further enlightened so as to not have any delusions about how to create their our way or the highway, envisioned utopia.

Mr. Wiles seems to ask Prof. Sandy where have the war protesters (flowers) gone? Prof. Sandy is unable to understand that the losses by his choices in the previous Congressional mid-term election were in large part a response by the potential Obama constituency to O’Bama selling out to the Wall Street Banks and the DEFENSE INDUSTRY. The right wing extremists, now so giddy in the demise of bin Laden now sleeping with the fishes, apparently are not believing either that the failure to end even one war in SW Asia is terribly unpopular with the American people. It is also terribly expensive as the U.S. Defense budget has doubled in 10 years. Pay no attention to the statistic behind the curtain — that in that same period federal government revenues have shrunk to a record low of 14-percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. That’s a STATISTIC, not statics that can be made to lie. Whereas statics will not mathematically support delusional thinking. That’s one statistic Prof. Sandy might be proud to own.

Some of us are just going to remain way too far to the middle and await being convinced. Maybe we are not all just leftist liberals or right wing conservatives. It’s possible there are some out there not strictly allied to either philosophy? Maybe it is Obama being too accommodating to war and Wall Street and not “the unions” and ObamaSCARE that is killing him and his party. Some of us are going to stay convinced that until ZIRP ends the use of the confiscated interest on the savings of Americans and the eradication of the formation of capital in the United States, being used to CONTINUE the bailing out of the nation’s insolvent banks, will continue to define us as a bankrupt nation.

Just a little bump in the road there for Congressman Ryan’s budget plan up there in the NY 26th, last week.

Sure we will cut benefits to those under 55 in the out years. Congressman Guita, who now seems to call

To the editor, New Hampshire Representative Harry Accornero recently wrote that there “is no such thing” as “Separation of Church and State” in the United States Constitution. I beg to differ. While Mr. Accornero is absolutely correct that the words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the U.S. or New Hampshire Constitutions, the concept itself is deeply imbedded in both documents and this is clear in the rights they list regarding religion. In addition, the term WAS used by founder Thomas Jefferson, who wrote that “In America there should be a wall of separation between church and state.”

The constitutional founders did not establish a “Christian” or a “JudeoChristian” nation. Naturally, they wanted people to be good, upright citizens and felt that religion could play a role in developing this kind of character, but this is not a Christian monopoly. Our founders believed that religion could be a good thing but that it should thrive separately from government.

I agree with our founders. If your religion makes you a better citizen, neighbor, and human being, then your religion is a positive thing. If, on the other hand, your religion leads you to fly a plane into a building, picket a soldier’s funeral, plant a bomb, or cover up sexual abuse, then it is not positive.

Certainly, our founders had contemporary models had they wanted to mix religion and government. Many European countries, including Great Britain, had “established” churches. Some still do. Some American colonies did have official religions and so did some states after independence from Great Britain until the federal Constitution and the Bill of Rights went into effect.

Our constitutional founders believed that religion could improve society but that for religion and government to reach their highest potential, they needed to be separated. These men envisioned a “free market” of ideas — religious and secular — where the “best” ideas would predominate and expand.

Many historical revisionists would like to portray our founders as evangelical Christians who preferred a Biblical code of law for the United States. Of course this was true of many New England Puritan Calvinists but, by the time of the American Revolution, America was religiously diverse and tolerant.

No doubt, many of our founders, like most other Americans in the Eighteenth Century, were at least nominally “Christian.” But many, like Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, were deists who had embraced the philosophy of “reason” characteristic of the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution of the 17th and 18th Centuries. Even devout Christians were influenced by Enlightenment thought.

Deists believed that God was a rational being who was like a “watchmaker” who had made the universe and then allowed it to function according to natural laws. Human beings made their own destinies. God did not approve or disapprove of governments but gave us common sense to govern ourselves.

immediate cuts to social welfare for Warren Buffet & “The Donald” “unfair”, will not get a similar sense of fairness in another five or six years when such cuts for what’s still left of the middle class, those now under 55 will become imminent? The Bush tax cuts will eventually be allowed to expire

by President Pawlenty? Congressman Guinta is now soliciting funds for re-election with a voting record of 95-percent with the House Speaker and America’s Farm Lobby! Frank is now calling the kettle black as to what his predecessor, a known and self-avowed war monger worked to foster.

Mr Pawlenty RIGHT-fully condemned VEETC in his presidential candidacy speech. Oh how we all just love to hate those farm subsidies and foreign aid wasteful spending during the election cycle. Perhaps Mr. Wiles, seemingly believing that there are perhaps military solutions to be achieved in the MENA region and SW Asia, will be delighted with an additional half billion increase in foreign aid to our friends in Pakistan. There is another increase in the tolls on the roads from Karachi into SW Afghanistan as well as on I-93 coming?

It’s a wonderful economy where O&G enjoys favorable tax treatment to produce the natural gas so important to our subsidized farmers. Those farmers need that gas to use in aerating their grains to bring them up to the strict standards the USDA requires for dryness, bacterial and fungus eradication, before they will buy them at top dollar for use as foreign aid. Then when that aid gets to Karachi it will cost many cartons of Marlboros from a ship captain and many dollars of illegal but accepted bribes to get the Pakistanis to take the stuff off the boat, for if delayed it ends up costing the owner of the ship thousands dollars in operating costs daily for his vessel being avoidably delayed.

We should probably get tough with those Pakistanis and enact some kind of Foreign Corrupt Practices Laws to end the baksheesh and cumshaw that is so alien & immoral to “OUR” culture.

Alien to our culture?

Yes, that definitely explains Roy Sanborn’s recent outlook, analysis and fantasies on the Abbottabad real estate market. There’s even more on natural gas issues and and how to profit from farm lobby-rule in America (Got SOIL?) as well as the district’s congressman continuing to sell out his constituency, but for a later letter.

Cat Path was paved by town & residents should have use of it To the editor, The residents of the Cat Path in Gilford are requesting the road to be turned into a dead end. Many of us have enjoyed this convenient short cut for many years. As I recall, the road was paved at the expense of the Town of Gilford to spare the road’s residents from the constant dust. Now that we’ve born that cost, we won’t even get to use it? Is there some reason other than the fact that the nine residents who live on the road don’t like the traffic? How many hundreds of Gilford residents could make the same claim about the roads

they live on? Shall we make them all dead ends?

I support eliminating buses and tractor trailer trucks on the road and I also support speed bumps to keep the speed down. However, regular autos should be able to continue a two-way traffic pattern on that road.

Your voice counts so please attend the Public hearing on June 8 at 7 p.m. or contact your selectmen by phone (527-4700) or drop them an e-mail at selectmen@gilfordnh.org.

Deists, who believed in natural law, generally disavowed divine miracles.

While Jefferson considered Jesus to be a good man and moral teacher, he did not believe in his divinity. According to most Christian denominations, his denial of Christ’s deity would mean that he was not a Christian.

Ben Franklin believed in God but, in his last years, he expressed doubts about the divinity of Jesus. However, with typical Franklin humor he said that he was not going to worry about it since he would find out the truth in a couple of years anyway. Franklin, like other founders, saw religion as a positive social force and donated to every church in Philadelphia. Clergy from virtually every congregation in Philadelphia, Jewish and Christian, marched in Franklin’s funeral procession.

The founders wrote three important rights concerning religion into the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The first is contained in the “body” of the Constitution, before the Bill of Rights was added. Here, the Constitution provides that there can be no “religious test” for holding public office. In other words, no one can be made to subscribe to any belief (or lack thereof) in order to hold a public office provided he or she has been duly elected or appointed.

The other two religious rights in the Constitution are guaranteed in its First Amendment. The Amendment provides that government “shall make no law concerning an establishment of religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” In other words, government cannot establish a state religion, fund or support religion, regulate religion, or treat one religion differently than another.

Simultaneously, the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause provides for the broadest degree of religious freedom without government interference. That is why many people came to America to escape religious bigotry.

As is the case with any right, there are reasonable limits to the Free Exercise Clause. You cannot, for example, perform human sacrifice even it that is a tenet of your faith!

American separation of church and state has been beneficial to both government and religion. Religion does not unduly interfere with the functions of government (although people of faith are free to express their opinions on political, social, and other issues). Religious bodies receive tax exemptions and are left alone by the authorities unless they are involved in criminal misconduct.

Naturally, there are those who abuse this freedom just as there are those that abuse other constitutional rights. Religious liberty in America has permitted numerous toxic “cults” and religious frauds to operate in our country that would not be tolerated in a number of other (even democratic) countries (Rev. Harold Camping and his prediction of the rapture on May 21 comes to mind). On the other hand, such liberty of faith has led to the U.S. becoming perhaps the most religiously and spiritually diverse and tolerant nation in the world.

ADAMS from page one Police Department, earning a degree in criminal justice at New England College and being certified by the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council. He spent time on patrol and in detectives before winning his sergeant’s stripes in 2000, the same year he attended the Massachusetts Police Leadership Academy. In 2008 he joined the command staff as a lieutenant, working under Captain Steve Clarke, commander of the operations division.

When Mike Moyer announced his retirement in April, the Police Commission named Adams to succeed him. Introducing Adams yesterday, Moyer said that on learning of his promotion several of Adams’ friends from college laughed out loud at the

idea there old buddy could be a police chief. “He’s really gotten a lot better,” Moyer recalled telling the friends as he handed Adams a copy of the general order appointing him chief to display to doubters.

Expressing disappointment at reading of “departments around the state having tough times,” Moyer advised Adams “treat everyone firm, fair and friendly and you won’t have any problems.”

Adams is expected to cleave to the tradition of community policing pursued by his three most immediate predecessors — Bill Baker, Tom Oetinger and Moyer. Unlike Moyer, who as a boy was chased off the trestle at the Lakeport Dam by Armand Maheux, then a street cop and now a police commissioner, Adams, the son of an English father and Mex-

ican mother, was born in New York and spent much of his youth in Europe. He lives in Meredith with his wife Tiana and their sons Tucker and Quinn.

Nevertheless, Adams has sunk deep roots in the city. He chairs of the Family Violence Prevention Council and serves as a director of several civic organizations including the Human Relations Committee, the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region, Partners in Prevention. With Lieutenant Matt Canfield, he managed the Citizens Police Academy, which Moyer introduced, and he is also a coordinator for National Night Out and mentor to the weight lifting program at the Laconia Middle School.

Adams said that addressing what he called the “core problems” of domestic violence and alcohol and drug abuse would be among his highest priorities, stressing that they are community problems, which the police must tackle together with its community partners. He indicated that as chief he will seek to draw even closer bonds between the department and the community, for instance by renewing community forums.

“Community relations is a very high priority of mine,” Adams said. “I want to have an open department.”

Two other promotions were also announced at the ceremony. Sgt. Al Lessard was promoted to lieutenant and Officer Michael Finogle was promoted to the rank of sergeant.

No evacuation orders had been issued Tuesday in South Dakota, but many people in the three cities had already moved to safer places.

“We’re going to fight this flood with every fiber of our beings, and we’ll do everything we can to minimize its effects,” Gov. Dennis Daugaard said.

In Minot, N.D., Mayor Curt Zimbelman said the evacuation order affects about 10,000 residents who live along a 4-mile stretch of the Souris, which has risen with rain, snowmelt and discharges from Lake Darling. Zimbelman said residents are expected be out of their homes by Wednesday night, in part to give construction crews room to raise and reinforce earthen dikes in the area.

City wishes man who has ‘been places other people will never go’ a very happy retirement Reading a proclamation declaring May 31 to be “Bob Cunningham Day” in Laconia, Mayor Mike Seymour (right) honored the 28-year veteran of the Department of Public Works — his last in the service of the city — at a reception held at the department’s headquarters on Bisson Avenue. “I can honestly say I’ve been places other people will never go,” said the senior sewer drain foreman, recalling that once he traversed a storm drain from near the Landmark Hotel to Edwards Street, pausing only to surprise shoppers by emerging from a manhole in the floor of Vista Foods.

CAT PATH from page one hill in the winter, there was no stopping,” she said.

In the ensuing years and mostly during the property boom of the 1980s, the large parcel across from her home was subdivided into four-acre lots and more families moved to the rural road.

The “old section” of Cat Path was closed and a”new” Cat Path connected to Route 11-B, or Intervale Road.

She said the town decided to pave it when it became illegal to use oil on the road to keep the dust down in the summertime.

“We used to have to keep all the windows shut to keep the dust out,” she said.

But with paving and the advent of Global Positioning Sensors what was largely access for about nine families became what residents see as a superhighway.

“I just saw someone drive by going about 60 mph,” Leach said as she was giving a telephone interview last evening.

She said she’s seen tour buses, cranes,

tractor-trailers and all sorts of vehicles that take Cat Path because GPS makes it look like a through-road.

In fact, Cat Path is still so narrow in places that two cars can barely pass in the winter. Leach also said the road under Cat Path is filled with underground springs and that, plus the combination of drive-through, over-weight commercial vehicles, has nearly destroyed portions of the road.

Selectmen propose that not only the top portion be blocked with some kind of turnabout for plows, but that fines for overweight vehicles be $1,000 per infraction. The new ordinance would also require any over-weight vehicle to be financially responsible for any damage caused to the road.

If the ordinance is passed as written, it will allow access for emergency vehicles, school buses, fuel delivery vehicles and, with prior permission from the public works department, heavy vehicles with a legitimate purpose.

The public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the Gilford Town Offices.

from preceding page fell in eastern Montana and Wyoming and western North Dakota and South Dakota in the past two weeks. Heavy runoff from melting snow in the northern Rocky Mountains is expected to add to the problem soon.

Flooding in Montana has damaged at least 200 homes on the Crow Indian Reservation and many more homes and businesses in other areas.

Water levels had dropped more than 2 feet in the central Montana town of Roundup, but warmer weather later in the week is expected to cause a new round of flooding in parts of the state as mountain snows melt.

In North Dakota, more than seven miles of levees were being built in Bismarck and another 3½ miles were going up across the river in Mandan.

Officials in western Iowa, downstream from Dakota Dunes, were making plans to deal with flooding in Sioux City and other areas. The

Nebraska towns of Niobara and Santee are already dealing with flooding from the Lewis and Clark Reservoir, while cities further downstream are preparing for high water over the next month.

In the three South Dakota cities, streets were busy with National Guard trucks, pickups carrying sandbags and large trucks carrying clay to build the levees. Many homes had already been surrounded with walls of sandbags that were up to 6-foot high.

Daugaard said the earthen levees were being built to 2 feet above the expected crest in all three towns, but he urged residents not to count on the levees to protect them.

“Citizens should assume the worst, that we will be unsuccessful in getting the levees raised in time or that the levees once raised will not hold,” the governor said.

He said no deaths had been reported from flooding, and for now, the concern is about saving property.

Mayor predicts council will name a new city manager in about a week LACONIA — Mayor Mike Seymour said yesterday that he expects the City Council to announce its choice for the city’s fourth city manager about this time next week.

Last Friday from 9:30 am until 6:45 pm., the councilors interviewed five candidates selected from the initial group of 85 applicants by Municipal Resources, Inc. (MRI), the Meredithbased consulting firm hired to conduct the search and winnow the field.

“Any one of the five would be capable of doing he job,” Seymour said.

“Both on paper and in person all the candidates were highly qualified.” The mayor said that MRI did a fine job of screening the candidates and advising

the council.

Seymour said that he will sound councilors about the candidates with the aim of reducing the number of finalists to two, who will be interviewed by telephone before the week is out. He said that once the telephone interviews are complete the names of the candidates, along with information about their background and experience, will be released to the public.

The mayor anticipated that the council will discuss the two finalists after its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, June 6 and could reach a final decision and make a formal offer by the next day or day after that.

ALTON (AP) — A West Ossipee man involved in a rollover crash that also injured his 2-year-old son has been downgraded to critical condition.

WMWV-FM reports that a spokeswoman for Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine says Tuesday that 25-year-old Charles Bacon is critical. He had been in serious condition Monday.

Police in Alton say Bacon’s vehicle

rolled over at least four times on the Henry Wilson Highway on Sunday morning, ejecting both of them.

The toddler is still in satisfactory condition.

Police say Bacon is expected to be charged with failing to properly restrain the child and driving with a suspended license. He may also have been speeding.

BODY from page 2 boats and a helicopter from the Coast Guard’s Cape Cod station was still underway when her body was located.

The New Hampshire medical examiner was called to the scene.

Lifeguards, who had been on-duty at the beach on Memorial Day until 5 p.m., were called back to assist in the

search. They were told to stop their search efforts at 9:30 p.m. Monday due to darkness and the chilly water temperature, according to Seacoastonline.com.

Nayelin and her brother were with friends on a one-day outing to the beach when it happened.

GOP from page 2 Other party insiders, however, say the talk is unfair to Romney and other candidates. Several of them could prove to be formidable challengers to Obama, these Republicans say.

“Look at the housing numbers today,” said Republican consultant Danny Diaz, referring to a key index of home prices that hit its lowest level in nine years. Obama will be vulnerable on housing, jobs and the overall economy, Diaz said, and the eventual Republican nominee’s clout will make the current hand-wringing seem foolish in retrospect.

One thing is non-debatable: The race is off to a much slower start than was the 2008 version.

In Iowa, which holds the nation’s first caucus, campaign traffic had reached deeply into the 99 counties at this stage four years ago. Now, it has barely scratched the surface, said Crawford County GOP Chairwoman Gwen Ecklund.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has visited the state more than a dozen times. And Bachmann, a third-term U.S. House member from Minnesota, has signaled plans to campaign aggressively in Iowa if she runs for the nomination.

But only former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who registers scant support in national polls, has visited Ecklund’s county, part of GOP-rich

western Iowa. “There isn’t a whole lot of commitment or excitement for any one candidate yet,” Ecklund said.

The biggest excitement in recent days has surrounded Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee. Her bus tour, which stopped Tuesday at the Gettysburg battlefield, Liberty Bell and New York City, is equal parts carnival, photo op and breezy history lesson.

Her meeting and dinner with real estate mogul and almost-candidate Donald Trump did nothing to tamp down the frenzy and frothiness.

Palin refuses to give reporters her schedule, and then gently upbraids them for their pell-mell efforts to locate, photograph and interview her.

It’s not clear that she will run for president, and some suspect her “One Nation” tour is designed mainly to support her lucrative book sales and TV appearances. If Palin does run for president, many Republican strategists feel she will do poorly, as her combative nature has driven down her approval ratings among GOP voters and others.

Yet by some counts, more than 100 journalists trooped alongside Palin in Philadelphia, an entourage that Pawlenty and others can only dream of. “It’s quite chaotic anywhere we get off on the bus,” Palin acknowledged.

For all the talk of new faces, Forti said, Romney said. “To me, she’s a breath of fresh air.”

Carl Forti, a Republican strategist and fundraiser, “has a good shot to win the nomination” and to give Palin said she has not decided whether to run, said the hoopla surrounding Palin’s tour and the Obama a strong challenge. The election will turn on even as she fueled speculation by saying her bus tour entreaties to Christie and Perry may be footnotes in jobs and the economy, he said, “and that is Romney’s eventually will reach New Hampshire and Iowa. the 2012 election story. bread and butter.”

In New Hampshire, Bachmann hinted Tuesday at her own likely campaign. She participated in WKXL radio’s “Road to the Whitehouse” series, repeating earlier statements that she thinks the race can accommodate herself and Palin.

Jury finds Tamworth man not guilty of trying to run-over Laconia police officer

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — Following two days of testimony, a jury determined last week that a former Tamworth man was not guilty of trying to run down a city police officer while he was on foot patrol in the Weirs last July.

According to written police complaints, Officer (now Sergeant) Michael Finogle was in the parking lot at Endicott Beach when he said Jonathan E. Lord, 25, drove a car “at a rate of speed and manner as to narrowly miss” him as he was trying to get the car to stop.

Lord faced one felony charge of reckless conduct and two misdemeanor charges of disobeying an officer and reckless operation.

One juror, who asked not to be identified, said on Tuesday the state just didn’t make its case that Lord was the driver in question.

“The main thing was the guy (Lord) took his shirt off and he had a million tattoos,” said the juror. “There was no mention by the cops that he had all these tattoos, even though it was a well-lit area.”

“It was just enough to bring doubt into the mind of the jury,” the juror said.

The juror also credited Lord’s attorney, Dennis O’Connor of Conway, for

“grilling” the five police officers who testified.

“He was kind of annoying but he sure got his point across,” the juror said.

The juror also said they listened to the radio transmissions of Finogle’s encounter with the driver of the Pontiac Grand Prix and Finogle never said on the radio that the guy tried to run him over.

What the jury did not know was that in April, Lord pleaded guilty to one reduced charge of misdemeanor reckless conduct and one misdemeanor charge of disobeying a police officer as a result of his arrest for the the Endicott Park incident. But Judge James O’Neill III rejected the plea that would have sent Lord to jail for two months.

Also under the terms of the rejected plea, Lord would have been sentenced to one year in jail for each charge — all but 60 days suspended — and would have had the suspended jail time hanging over his head for three years.

O’Neill believed the terms of the plea bargain too lenient.

After getting the jury instructions, which were sealed, the jury deliberated from 1:40 pm to 2:15 p.m. Friday before returning the two not guilty verdicts.

DEBT from page 2 months before the date Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has said the debt limit must be raised. If no action is taken by Aug. 2, he has warned, the government could default on its obligations and risk turmoil that might plunge the nation into another recession or even an economic depression.

Republicans, who are scheduled to meet with Obama at the White House on Wednesday, signaled in advance that the debt limit vote did not portend a final refusal to grant an increase.

The roll call vote was held late in the day, and there was little, if any discernible impact on Wall Street, where major exchanges showed gains for the day. At the same time, it satisfied what GOP officials said was a desire among the rank and file to vote against unpopular legislation the leadership has said eventually must pass in some form.

Republicans said they were offering legislation Obama and more than 100 Democratic lawmakers had sought.

But Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the second-ranking Democrat, accused the GOP of staging a “demagogic vote” at a time lawmakers should work together to avoid a financial default.

All 97 votes in favor of the measure were cast by Democrats, totaling less than a majority and far under the twothirds support needed for passage.

For its part, the administration appeared eager to avoid criticizing Republicans.

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” presidential press secretary Jay Carney said when asked about the Republican decision to tie spending cuts with more borrowing.

“We believe they should not be linked because there is no alternative that’s acceptable to raising the debt ceiling. But we’re committed to reducing the deficit,” Carney said.

The government has already reached

the limit of its borrowing authority, $14.3 trillion, and the Treasury is using a series of extraordinary maneuvers to meet financial obligations.

By no longer would making investments in two big pension funds for federal workers and beginning to withdraw current investments, for example, the Treasury created $214 billion in additional borrowing headroom.

At the same time, the Obama administration and congressional leaders are at work trying to produce a deficit-reduction agreement in excess of $1 trillion to meet Republican demands for spending cuts.

Political maneuvering on legislation to raise the debt limit has become common in recent years, as federal deficits have soared and presidents of both political parties have been forced to seek authority to borrow additional trillions of dollars.

Because such legislation is unpopular with voters, presidents generally look to lawmakers from their own political party to provide the votes needed for passage. In the current case, though, Republicans control the House, and without at least some support from them, Obama’s request for a debt-limit increase would fail.

However, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced months ago that he would demand spending cuts as a condition for passage.

“It’s true that allowing America to default would be irresponsible,” he said on May 9 in a speech to the Economic Club of New York. “But it would be more irresponsible to raise the debt limit without simultaneously taking dramatic steps to reduce spending and to reform the budget process.”

He added that any spending cuts should be larger than the increase in borrowing authority, a statement meant to lay down a marker for the deficit-reduction talks led by Vice President Joe Biden.

— Belmont High School —

The Top 10 graduating seniors for 2011

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — When the 94 members of Belmont High School’s Class of 2011 leave their alma mater, 66 will attend a two- or four-year post-graduate program, four will join the armed services, two will enter an apprenticeship and 22 will join the work force.

The academic top 10 graduating seniors will be leaving Belmont to follow interests that include engineering, business, teaching, athletics and journalism.

The valedictorian of the class, Courtney Clary, is a Belmont resident who will attend Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. in the fall. “I want to be some sort of engineer,” Clary said, explaining that she picked Vanderbilt because of its strong engineering program as well as its location, in a city that was recently beseiged by flooding and as such presents an interesting case study. “Engineers fix problems...

There’s probably some way you can prevent that in the future.”

Dan Powell, the class’s salutatorian, is also interested in engineering and will matriculate to the University of New Hampshire, where he’ll join the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps. His ultimate goal is to join the Air Force and fly planes, the big ones, specifically, such as the C-5 Galaxy. “I’ve always wanted to do it since I was a little peon, watching planes flying over my house – it’s the coolest job,” he said.

Jacob Bryant will be off to Cazenovia College in New York to study sports management. He’d like to have a career as an athletic director or a coach.

“My whole family’s been involved in sports, it’s fun,” Bryant said. “If you can have a career where it’s fun to be working, it’s a good career to have.”

When Chris Brace was a sophomore, he took a math course “that I wasn’t so hot in.” This year, though, he took a course with teacher Scott Currier, who “helped me get into the subject.” Inspired by the difference a teacher can make, Brace has chosen to enroll in Keene State College, where he’ll study secondary-level mathematics education. He wants to help students who struggle with math. “I don’t want to see anybody give up on the subject because they feel they can’t get help.”

Nicholas Clements will also study education at Keene State College. He’s considering a career as either an English or math teacher. “I’ve had a lot of teachers here I really liked, I like the idea of helping others.” Clements also likes the idea of coaching as well as teaching. “I’ve been involved in sports, I don’t want to give that up.”

Olivia Doucette will be studying finance and economics next year at Southern New Hampshire University. With that degree, she plans to go into business with her father, buying failing businesses to turn them around and sell them. “I’ve always liked business,” Doucette said, “it’s something that see next page

Red Sox drop 3rd game in a row, 10-7 to White Sox BOSTON (AP) — The way he’s been pitching, a reporter told Phil Humber, people are starting to talk about him making the All-Star game.

The White Sox right-hander just shook his head.

“You don’t hear me talking about it,” he said after shutting the Boston batters down for seven innings Tuesday night to lead Chicago to a 10-7 victory over the Red Sox. “I don’t really have any comment on that (the All-Star game). I’m just thankful for the results so far.”

Humber (4-3) held Boston to six hits in seven innings before giving up three more in the eighth after the White Sox opened a 10-1 lead. In all, Humber was charged with four runs while walking one and striking out five in 7 2-3 innings — the first time in seven starts he has allowed more than three runs.

“Phil was outstanding. Outstanding,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “The guy keeps showing people, and proving himself, pitching against a good-hitting ballclub and doing it right. I could be sitting here talking good things about him all night.”

The third overall pick in the 2004 draft, Humber has spent time with five organizations — three since December, when he was waived by the Royals, claimed by the Athletics and then waived by them and claimed by Chicago. He started the season in the bullpen, then moved into the rotation on April 9 and won just one of his first three starts.

But then Humber rattled off a string of strong outings: three straight starts with three hits or fewer, and six in a row without allowing more than three runs. That streak ended Tuesday when he left with a 10-2 lead and runners on first and third with two outs in the eighth inning.

Will Ohman relieved him and gave up a three-run homer to David Ortiz that made it 10-5.

“He threw the ball real good, mixed all of his pitches. I thought he was on his game,” said Ortiz, who struck out swinging, grounded out and singled up the middle against Humber. “We’re facing good

pitching. We’re not going to score 10 runs every game.”

Alexei Ramirez tied his career high with four hits and also drove in three runs for Chicago, which has won six in a row at Fenway Park for its longest streak here since the “Go Go” Sox era of 1958-59.

Chris Sale came on in the ninth after Boston cut the deficit to 10-7 and struck out Adrian Gonzalez looking on three pitches earn his second save.

Alfredo Aceves (2-1) lost for the first time in more than two years, allowing eight runs — six earned — on eight hits and three walks while striking out one. He had won 12 consecutive decisions for the Yankees and Red Sox in what had been the longest active streak since CC Sabathia in 2008.

But the White Sox scored four runs in the second, including a two-run single by Ramirez. He also singled and scored when Chicago scored four more in the sixth to chase Aceves and make it 10-1.

Ramirez had three RBIs while recording his second four-hit game in nine days. He also had the game-winning hit in the series opener Monday night, a two-run double that broke a sixth-inning tie.

Gordon Beckham had three hits for the White Sox, who have won two straight against Boston after losing four of their previous five games.

Despite their three-game losing streak, the Red Sox are 19-10 in May — the best record in the American League over the month. Adrian Gonzalez had 42 hits and 31 RBIs in the month, the first Red Sox player to top 40 and 30 in May, respectively, since Jim Rice in his AL MVP year of 1978.

Jason Varitek had three hits, including his second homer of the season. After Boston scored one more in the eighth on three hits off the Green Monster off Humber, Ohman relieved him and gave up Ortiz’s homer.

Ohman got Mike Cameron, a defensive replacement for Carl Crawford, on a fly ball to right to end the inning.

from preceding page comes easy to me.”

Peter Chynoweth, the one Canterbury resident among the top 10, will attend the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, where he’ll study mechanical engineering. Chynoweth enjoys the engineer’s challenge and has re-wired his X-box controller and built a piece of mounting hardware for a friends’ drum kit. “I like solving problems, I like having a quantitative outcome at the end,” he said.

“I love doing stuff like that.”

Jennifer Ortakales will study journalism at Emerson College in Boston. “I’m fascinated by other people’s stories, I love learning about other cultures,” she said. Specifically, Ortakales would like to work as a fashion journalist and, through that capacity, see the world. “I love Boston, I think I would also

like to move to New York City, but I also hope that going into journalism will help me travel all over the world. I would like to see as many places as I can in my life.”

“I like pushing what we know,” said Tyler Dami, who will study physics at the University of New Hampshire in the fall. “I like physics because it’s all about theory,” he said. Dami hasn’t waited for university to test his theories; as a high school student he built used salad bowls and spark plugs to create an inefficient though functioning fusion reactor. He hopes to be involved in energy research, “hopefully looking at producing a working fusion reactor.”

Danielle Bilodeau, who was not present for the interview, is also among the top 10 graduating seniors. She will matriculate to Lakes Region Community College in Laconia.

Heat defense limits Dallas in game 1 of NBA Finals MIAMI (AP) -- Dwyane Wade’s night began with a hug for his mom. It ended with an embrace from LeBron James. And the Miami Heat have struck first in the NBA Finals.

James scored 24 points for his first win in five Finals-game appearances, Wade added 22 points and 10 rebounds and the Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks 92-84 in Game 1 of the title series on Tuesday night.

The Heat trailed by eight points early in the third quarter before pulling away, remaining unbeaten at home in these playoffs and snapping Dallas’ fivegame road winning streak.

Chris Bosh scored 19 points -- holding up three fingers when it was over, a clear nod to the three wins Miami needs for a title -- and Mario Chalmers added 12 for the Heat, who host Game 2 on Thursday night.

Wade’s 3-pointer with 3:06 left put the Heat up 82-73, then the largest lead of the game for either team. The Mavs shaved two points off it on the next possession when Nowitzki hit two free throws, but James gave the Heat their first double-digit lead of the Finals a few seconds later.

He dribbled upcourt against Shawn Marion, crossed his dribble over and got clear for a dunk DOG from page one cued from neglectful circumstances and was about to go home with a suitable adopting family on Saturday when staff at the shelter noticed that he was missing.

“To say that we’re a little perturbed by this would be an understatement,” Gorham said. This is the third theft of an animal from the shelter in the past eight years, she said. In both prior cases, the animals were successfully recovered.

Stealing an animal from the shelter is a crime, confirmed Sargeant Mike Finogle of the Laconia Police Department. He said Officer Jeffrey Wholley is investigating the case, which is currently described as “theft by unauthorized taking,” a misdemeanor. “It’s the same as if you went in there and stole an item,” Finogle said. Depending upon the treatment of the animal, further charges could be brought against the dog thief, he said.

Gorham said she and the other shelter staff are upset by the theft of Baxter, whose large ears and budding intelligence were likely to make him a treasured family pet. “We’re very concerned about his well-being,” she said. “Honestly, someone who would take a dog from a shelter could not have the dog’s best interest at heart.”

Gorham is optimistic that Baxter will soon be returned to the shelter. The surveillance footage bolsters her optimism, as does the knowledge that the dog is micro-chipped. Every surrounding veterinarian and shelter has been made aware of Baxter’s identity, and as soon as the illegal owner of the dog takes him for veterinary care the police will be notified.

while being fouled. The free throw made it 85-75, and most in the sellout, white-clad crowd began standing in anticipation.

Even then, it wasn’t over. Nowitzki made two more free throws -- he was 12 for 12 from the line for the game -- with 1:36 left, cutting the Miami lead to six.

A momentary blip.

Wade grabbed a key defensive rebound, dribbled away from three Dallas pursuers and found Bosh for a dunk with 1:08 left that restored the 10-point lead. Another dunk by James came with 38.6 seconds left, sealing it.

Game over, and the Heat fans knew it, breaking into their now-traditional tossing of their white seat covers.

“I just was aggressive,” Wade said. “We understand that this is the kind of game we wanted to play. We had them where we wanted them in the sense of points. You know they wasn’t scoring a lot on us and offensively we just executed and guys made plays.”

Miami outrebounded Dallas 46-36.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points and grabbed eight rebounds for Dallas, which got 16 from Marion and 12 from Jason Terry. It was Dallas’ fifth straight loss to Miami in Finals games, dating to the Heat rally for the 2006 crown.

“Our reach is pretty long,” said Gorham. As in a property theft, she cautioned, “If you’re handling this dog, you’re handling stolen property.”

“Our concern is that people do take dogs for nefarious reasons. It’s not a good situation for Baxter,” said Gorham.

She asked that anyone with information call Mary Di Maria, the shelter’s executive director, at 524-3252 extension 301, or the police department at 524-5257.

Dan was born on July 20, 1935, in Cambridge, MA, where he lived and graduated from Rindge Technical High School. He began a long career of public service by joining the U.S. Army during the Korean War Conflict and then the police department in Lancaster, NH. In 1962, he proudly accepted the role of State Trooper with the New Hampshire State Police.

During this time, he graduated from the FBI National Academy and from St. Anselm’s College. After 24 years, he retired with the rank of Captain and continued serving his community as a Special Deputy U.S. Marshall and Deputy Sheriff of Belknap County.

LACONIA — Hands Across the Table (HATT), a new community outreach program, will welcome “those who are hungry in body and spirit” to free weekly dinners at St. James Episcopal Church from 5:30 — 6:30 p.m. beginning on Tuesday, June 7.

With the goal of providing individuals and families in need of nutritious food and warm fellowship, Hands Across the Table is the result of the coming together of community, faith organizations, local businesses, and volunteers to form an ecumenical outreach that has taken a year to grow from vision to reality. With an advisory board and all the legalities required of a NH non-profit corporation in place, HATT held an introductory dinner May 3 for 66 volunteers and those whose support is vital to the mission.

“We are especially thankful for Saint James Episcopal Church and Rev. Tobias Nyatsambo for the free use of their kitchen and parish hall and for the support and prayers of the entire congregation,” said HATT co-founder Joyce Ringleb.

“We have 92 meals we have put together and handed over to our head chef using the New Hampshire guidelines on major food groups that we will serve at our dinners. We will also have vegetarian dishes and all foods will be peanut-free. We didn’t want to take anything away from established food banks. We were able to do this through the generosity of individuals and community donors such as Vista Foods, and generous gift certificates from Shaw’s of Belmont and Gilford, Hannaford’s of Gilford, along with donations from Dunkin’ Donuts and

Sal’s Pizza of Belmont, among others that we hope can help out in the future.”

She went on to say that Hands Across the Table is unique because it is a weekly food outreach program that is held at a time when families are together. “We hope to welcome entire families as our guests to enjoy good food and fellowship in a courteous, equitable environment.”

LACONIA — A Brunch & Silent Auction to benefit Sean Avery and his family will be held at the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound from 10 a.m. — 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 5.

Avery, a local UPS driver, suffered a serious head injury in a motorcycle crash on April 30. Although he is recovering, he will require a long period of rehab before he can return home or go back to work.

A fund has been established to help Avery and his wife Audra, a substitute teacher, with medical expenses and other costs while he is recuperating.

The couple has two daughters: Taylor, an 8th grader at Laconia Middle School, and Emily, a 5th grader at Elm Street School.

The Lobster Pound has generously agreed to donate $9 of each plate served to the fund. Additional contributions to the Sean Avery Recovery Fund, established at Laconia Savings Bank, are also welcome and appreciated.

Items are also being sought to be auctioned off at the Silent Auction during the brunch. Anyone who would like to contribute is encouraged to contact Tim or Deb Bossey at 524-8337 or bossey5@metrocast.net.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll rehearse certain things that others wouldn’t take the time to practice.

That’s because you see the value in presenting yourself in a smooth, cool manner. One advantage is that people will immediately trust you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You can relax in the knowledge that no one will rate your performance unless you specifically ask for such an evaluation. Feel free to do things the way you want to do them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

In the past, you’ve said “yes” when you wanted to say “no.” You’ve since learned your lesson. You will get the chance to prove it today, as you make the choice that’s right for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a special gift for dealing with eccentric people. You have ways of maneuvering their tricky personality traits, understanding what they really mean and accepting them for who they are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your body has an intelligence you can trust.

Pay attention to physical signals. If you’re not sure what they mean, pose the question to your body and see if an answer pops to mind.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 1). It is a year of increased personal power. An important accomplishment you make by the end of September will illustrate the point. Between now and then, you will focus your efforts and keep from procrastinating. A key purchase in October will make your work easier.

Love and laughter fill your house in the new year. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 50, 15, 33 and 17.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Once upon a time, you may have fantasized about finding the prince or princess of your dreams. But now you have some very practical and realistic goals for your love life, and you are rapidly approaching them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Mingling with new people, you’ll find you immediately click with some -- with others, not at all. So stick where you feel the magic. That’s where you’ll feel free to express the diverse facets of your talent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A distracting influence may actually do you a favor. Some will find it difficult to get back to work after the disruption, but you’ll find the break in order to be creatively invigorating.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When your emotional needs are met, you feel physically strong and able. The affection and attention of a loved one will have a positive effect on your health.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You used to think there was no such thing as “too nice.” Now you understand that a certain person will keep pushing and asking until you have nothing more to give. It’s only healthy to hold some back for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have to be the best in order to win the vote that counts. You will be chosen because you’re a terrific fit, not because you’re the most experienced and qualified. You know how to be a good partner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Find creative inspiration. It is not an indulgence so much as a way for you to save the world. Indeed, the evolution of man depends on the dreams of healthy minds.

The Village Pathways Committee was charged, by the board of Selectmen, with the goal of establishing a pedestrian plan for the town of Meredith.

Lakes Region United Way needs Day of Caring work project requests by July 13 LACONIA — Lakes Region United Way (LRUW), in the process of planning the 16th Annual Day of Caring, is asking non-profits to submit work project requests by July 13 and employers to sign up volunteers by August 5.

Day of Caring, set for September 9, is when volunteers from local businesses come together to complete projects that benefit non-profit organizations and the people they serve. This year’s work locations will be expanded in Belknap, Carroll, and Grafton Counties, offering non-profit organizations a helping hand.

According to Day of Caring Co-Chair Pam Paquette of Public Service of NH, “We are building on past experiences and reaching out to nonprofit organizations that may not have the resources to organize their work projects.

Many non-profits need this helping hand, and frankly do not have the staff to determine what is needed to paint a room or a building, or to complete a landscaping project.

Lakes Region Rotary members have joined Kent Baron of Gilford on our planning team. They will meet with any non-profit that needs technical assistance to plan the materials, supplies, and volunteers to complete their work projects.”

Village Savings Bank added, “We are fortunate to have scores of volunteers participate in this annual day that has a long-lasting impact on our community. Employers have a unique chance to be seen as a community leader as their employees see firsthand what can be accomplished in just a few hours.

The day is a transformation of not only the nonprofit work site, but also of the volunteers who learn about the nonprofit world and connect with others. Often, those individuals continue to volunteer after the day is over.”

Lakes Region United Way is asking nonprofits to submit work project requests by July 13 and employers to sign up volunteers by August 5 to meet the challenge of matching volunteers and their skills with projects such as painting, landscaping, working with senior citizens and day care children, and office work.

The day will begin with breakfast, followed by travel to assigned sites, a lunch break, and end with a recognition gathering where volunteers and nonprofit representatives will share their experiences.

All volunteers will be included in a raffle of prizes donated by local businesses. Anyone who would like to donate a gift certificate or prize for this raffle is encouraged to mail it by September 2 to United Way, 95 Water Street, Laconia, NH 03246.

To learn how to participate in Day of Caring, contact Campaign Director Judi Taggart at 524-6864 or visit www.LRUW.org.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Our nation’s schools provide the majority of American children with at least one of their daily meals. Unfortunately, more than 90 percent of the school meals do not measure up to national nutrition standards. This is worrisome because we know how important food is to the development of healthy bodies and minds.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is considering requiring our schools to add more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to their breakfast and lunch meals, while also lowering the levels of fat, sodium and calories.

These measures are steps in the right direction, but to keep these efforts moving forward, our nation’s policymakers need to know they have the public’s support. Our website, www.

HealthySchoolFoodsNow.org, has information on how your readers can help ensure all students are offered safer, healthier school meals.

Now is the time to focus on America’s children. They deserve a healthy start. -- Sincerely, Erik D. Olson, Deputy Director of the Pew Health Group’s Food Portfolio Dear Erik Olson: Those of us who remember school lunches understand that expedience and cost were the overriding factors in what was served. While some children learn about healthy food at home and are disciplined enough to make wholesome choices on their own, many are not as well educated about proper nutrition or have difficulty resisting temptation. Healthful offerings at school can make a huge difference. We hope our readers will check your website and see how they can help our children grow up strong and healthy.

Dear Annie: I am looking forward to my beautiful daughter’s wedding. She wants her father, my ex, to walk her down the aisle. He comes from a very dysfunctional family, and none of them speaks to the others.

My ex, who is helping to pay for the wedding, insists that

no invitations go out to any of his family. He has threatened to walk out if any of them attend. However, unbeknownst to him, our daughter has developed a good relationship with her “Aunt Marie and Uncle John.” They have been there for her and contributed so much to her life. They even put hours of labor into upgrading her newly purchased home.

Obviously, my daughter very much wants to invite this aunt and uncle. Should she disregard her father’s wishes and risk the chance that he will not be any part of her wedding?

She could ask her stepfather to escort her down the aisle. He has raised her for the past 15 years. However, she loves her father and does not want to alienate him. It is terribly important to her that he give her away. What should she do? -- Mother of the Bride Dear Mother: We dislike it when people issue ultimatums about who can be invited to what. Your ex-husband has put his daughter in a terrible position on her wedding day. She needs to talk to him, explaining that her aunt and uncle have been very good to her, and it would mean a lot if he would be flexible enough to include them. If he refuses to reconsider, your daughter must decide how important it is that her father, and not her stepfather, walk her down the aisle. Sorry.

Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from “Kuttawa, Ky.,” who has issues with background noise and loud commercials during TV programs.

My husband is a sci-fi fan who is going deaf. I, on the other hand, have super-sensitive hearing and can hear a pin drop at 50 feet. Too many times, he complains that he cannot hear the dialogue and cranks up the volume, when the background noise is excruciating to people with normal hearing, let alone those like me. Kuttawa is not the only one suffering from the cacophony. -- Guelph in Canada

MEREDITH — The Altrusa Club has created a directory of organizations that need volunteers.

Copies of this directory have been placed in libraries, town halls, the Meredith Community Center, and Inter-Lakes High School.

As children grow up, parents may find some extra time on their hands. Teenage students may need to perform community service. Other people may be looking for ways to give to the community, become more involved, develop new interests, or make new friends. Volunteering time and talents to organizations in need is an ideal solution.

It can be confusing to find the right volunteer opportunity to match one’s interests. Seasonal residents may wonder what organizations need their help on a seasonal basis. To help in this search, Altrusa created the volunteer direcory in hopes that new and longtime residents will use this tool to match their interests to groups that need their help.

To learn more about The Altrusa Club of Meredith, visit www.altrusadistrict1.com/meredith/ or e-mail meredithnhaltrusa@hotmail.com.
