LACONIA — The City Council last night welcomed a proposal

by Police Chief Chris Adams to step up enforcement of drug trafficking and substance abuse by adding two more detectives to the drug unit.

Adams told the councilors

that in 2010, when Detective Scott Roy was assigned to the Attorney General’s Drug Task Force, the department made only three arrests for drug trafficking and closed just two controlled purchases of illicit drugs. A year later, when Roy rejoined the department fulltime and Detective Chris Noyes

was assigned exclusively to drug enforcement, there were 19 arrests and 49 buys. Already this year the unit has made 22 arrests and seized more drugs than were taken last year.

Adams said that a man arrested last week had been selling 1,000 oxycodone tablets for some time and had 60

in his possession when he was apprehended. So far this year, he said, police have seized 194 oxycodone tablets, 37 grams of cocaine and shut down a methamphetamine lab. Adams said that once rare, heroin and methamphetamine have become more common in the see LPD page 14

Students dedicate new gateway for historic State School cemetery

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Rhael LaForest on Saturday sat in a chair next to his best friend and caretaker Bill Stumpf watching as the new gateway and sign at the Chemung

Cemetery were dedicated to the memory of residents of the former Laconia State School who are buried there.

LaForest lived in the former institution from 1945 until 1975 but, thanks in large part to Stumpf, now lives independently in

Nashua, said he wanted to be there for the official dedication of the additions made by the students of Cocheco Arts and Technology Academy — a Seacoast-based charter school.

“Most of my friends are here,” he said see CEMETERY page 12

LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife got home from lunch with friends at a pub in the English countryside to discover they forgot something: 8-year-old daughter Nancy.

Nancy was fine — she was quickly reunited with her parents after they realized she was missing. But Cameron’s parenting skills took a drubbing Monday, just weeks after the government set up a program to give parents of young children classes on how to raise them.

Downing Street said the incident happened “a couple of months ago” as the family was leaving a pub near Chequers, the official country house prime ministers use when they want to escape London.

The Camerons, some friends and their children had gone for Sunday lunch to the Plough, an establishment in the village of Cadsden dating back to the 16th century, when it was a staging post for London coaches.

Sandusky trial opens with graphic shower testimony BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky’s trial in the Penn State scandal opened in graphic fashion Monday with the first witness testifying that the retired coach molested him in the locker-room showers and in hotels while trying to ensure his silence with gifts and trips to bowl games.

The man, now 28 and dubbed Victim 4 in court papers, left nothing to the imagination as he told the jury about the abuse he said he endured for five years beginning when he was a teenager in the late 1990s.

“I’ve denied it forever,” he testified, looking straight at the prosecutor as Sandusky sat motionless nearby.

Sandusky, 68, faces 52 counts that he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years.

The former assistant football coach has

denied the allegations. His arrest last year shamed the university and led to the ouster of beloved Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and Penn State’s president.

In opening statements, prosecutor Joseph McGettigan III told the jury that Sandusky was a “predatory pedophile” who methodically used his youth charity, The Second Mile, to zero in on fatherless children or those with unstable home lives, plied them with gifts and took advantage of them sexually.

Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola countered that the case is flimsy and that some of the accusers apparently intend to sue and have a financial stake in the case — a preview of the battle to come as the defense tries to undermine the credibility of the young men upon whom the case rests.

Until Monday, none of them had testified publicly, and their identities were shielded.

The Associated Press typically doesn’t identify people who say they are victims of sex crimes.

Victim 4 spoke calmly and firmly under questioning by the prosecutor and acknowledged he had at first lied to police and even his own attorney about the alleged abuse.

“I don’t even want to be involved now, to be honest,” he said.

In the car, Sandusky “would put his hand on my leg, basically like I was his girlfriend. ... It freaked me out extremely bad,” the man said, extending his arm and pushing it back and forth. “I pushed it away. ... After a little while, it would come right back. That drove me nuts.” see SANDUSKY page 11

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Authorities searching for a man charged with fatally shooting three people near Auburn University converged Monday night on a house in Alabama’s capital where they believe he may be hiding.

Dozens of police cruisers, trucks and vans surrounded the house and officers were seen moving around outside on television footage from Montgomery television station WSFA. Montgomery police spokeswoman Regina Duckett said during a news conference that police received a credible tip that Desmonte Leonard is in the house. Duck-

ett said they are trying to make contact but have not confirmed he’s in there. She said she doesn’t know who owns the home.

Local and federal officers asked neighbors to stay inside.

Authorities said Leonard was charged with three counts of capital murder in the shooting Saturday night during a pool party at University Heights apartments.

He’s also accused of wounding three others.

The dead included two former Auburn football players, and another was among the wounded.

The 22-year-old Leonard’s last address was in Montgomery.

Earlier in the day police said they had arrested two men accused of hindering the search.

Auburn police said Jeremy S. Thomas, 18, of Montgomery was charged with hindering prosecution after he fled the scene of the shooting with Leonard. Records show Thomas was free on bond at the time of the Auburn shootings while awaiting a manslaughter trial set to begin June 18 in last year’s shooting death of a teenager.

Montgomery police said Gabriel Thomas, 41, was also charged with hindering prosecution after having contact with Leonsee AUBURN page 13

U.S. Commerce secretary said to have suffered seizure before accidents SAN GABRIEL, Calif. (AP) — A succession of small fender benders over the weekend raises questions about whether U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson has a medical or legal problem — or both.

The bizarre series of events happened Saturday afternoon when Bryson hit a car stopped for a train — twice — then rammed into another vehicle a few minutes later. He was found unconscious in his car, and government officials said Monday he had a seizure, which could play a role in whether he’s charged with felony hit-and-run.

It wasn’t clear whether the medical episode preceded or followed the collisions, but Bryson hasn’t suffered a seizure before, said a department official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the secretary’s medical history.

Bryson has a “limited recall of the events,” the official said.

The crashes drew attention because of health concerns involving a member of the U.S. Cabinet, as well as the challenge investigators face when trying to determine if someone should be held criminally

responsible because of adverse health.

Bryson, 68, was driving alone in a Lexus in San Gabriel, a community of about 40,000 northeast of Los Angeles, when he struck the rear of a vehicle that had stopped for a passing train, authorities said.

He spoke briefly with the three occupants and then hit their car again as he departed, investigators said. They followed him while calling police.

He was cited for felony hit-and-run, although he has not been charged. see BRYSON page 9

Fair? Sez who?

More and more we are being implored to be “fair”, to give the other guy a chance, to bring equality of income and lifestyle to all . . . and on, and on, and on. Clearly, before we cast our next vote, we have to settle in our own mind, just what “fair” means.

The first thing we have to determine is whether or not life itself is “fair”. For example, shouldn’t all men look like George Clooney? That would be fair. Shouldn’t all women be as attractive as Miss America?

That would be fair. And wouldn’t it be fair for all people (men and women) to be as innovative and creative as Bill Gates and Paul Allen?

And to have the billions of dollars that they do? Of course, that would be fair. Athletically, shouldn’t everyone have the football skills of Peyton Manning? The baseball playing abilities of Willie Mays? The soccer talents of Pele? Obviously, people like Manning, Mays, and Pele have or had an unfair advantage because of their God-given talents, including their work ethic and their personal motivations. Well, you say, if you can’t be given talents equal to theirs, then they should have their talents reduced to more closely resemble yours. That would be fair.

It is no different with businesses.

Like people, the business world is filled with companies that have a range of talents and abilities. Some companies are considered “leading edge” while others are considered “lagging edge”. Leading edge companies sometimes joke about themselves as being “bleeding edge” because they often get bloodied as they take the chances and incur the expenses necessary to find the better way to improve production, or to develop the proverbial better mousetrap. Those leading edge companies suffer the wounds of progress in the hopes of getting a jump on their competition. The “lagging edge” companies eventually derive many of the same benefits by simply mimicking the processes develop by the leading edge companies. The question here becomes,

what is “fair” in the business world?

Should Bill Gates be required to put his brain to sleep until all those lagging edge companies catch up? And should he stop being so charitable until his competitors are in a position to match his charity?

Speaking of fair, when Bell Labs invented the transistor, it literally changed the world and lead to the computer and communication generation we have today. Those same Bell Labs also discovered cellular technology and, along with the transistor, put those innovations into “public domain” so that all the world could use them without paying a royalty. Obviously, that was the “fair” thing to do, unless, of course, you were a shareholder whose investments provided the funding for that lengthy research and you got nothing back for it. The government “rewarded” the company for that type of innovation and creativity by saying the fair thing to do was to bust up the company into smaller pieces because it was too big.

So, that gets back to the basic question as to what is fair, and adds another dimension to the question by asking, sez who? Who decides what is fair? Sir Winston Churchill said, “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” And Thomas Jefferson said, “I believe in luck, and I find that the harder I work, the more of it I have.” Neither of those august gentlemen spoke of the government dictating what is “fair”. They spoke of independence and self reliance.

In the quest to be “fair”, are we prepared to stifle creativity and innovation and bring ourselves down to sharing the miseries? Or are we prepared to improve our luck by following the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson?

By the way, if everyone looks like George Clooney or Miss America, and has the mental talents and money of Bill Gates, and is as athletically skilled as Peyton Manning, who’s going to empty the trash?

(Bob Meade is a Laconia resident.)

Why is it okay to drive animals to Laconia but not people?

To the editor, I would like to know why it is that the city is closing the animal shelter and expect the police to take the animals they rescue to Laconia? When the rescue squad isn’t allowed to take people to another hospital away from Franklin, why is it they can take animals out of Franklin, but not people? That does not make sense — to leave a police officer without back up to go to Laconia is okay?

But the ambulance with three people about can’t go to Laconia?

The animals have a choice to go to another animal shelter or hospital.

But a person who can get special care in Laconia have to stay in Franklin unless they can get into a care and be driven to Laconia by a friend or family member. Is this fair to a sick person who’s doctor is in Laconia?

This is just another instance of poor planning like all the lights on Main Street. Thank you.

LETTERS Bush squandered much of our taxes & Obama has doubled down To the editor, I wish I could say I was surprised at the letters from Paula Trombi and Cathy Dawson. Paula Trombi appears to have knowledge of our president’s “vision of how government should serve the people”. She claims that there have been over four million private sector jobs created on his watch. There is absolutely no proof of that. That is an absolute fabrication. Paula claims he is supporting the middle class. President Obama told us on Friday that the private sector was doing fine and then later he said it really wasn’t. Most of the nation is aware that we have had a net loss of jobs as unemployment ticked up to 8.2-percent again with the real number hovering above 11-percent.

That honest figure will become clear in the event our government ever decides to dispense with their statistical deceptions. In the eyes of what has become the most corrupt administration of our lifetimes, people who are off the unemployment roles and have stopped looking for work are not considered uh, unemployed? Our dear leader is crushing the middle class with his socialist, redistributionist schemes. He supports his unions, cronies and favored corporations, not you Paula or you Cathy.

Apparently Paula and Cathy didn’t get the word that even many Obama supporters agree that Romney’s involvement in Bain Capital was good for business and good for people since it had a success rate of 78-percent. That was done with private money while President Obama has played the role of venture capitalist with public tax payer money as he picked the winners and losers with banks, auto companies and the multitude of failed green enterprises. Cathy Dawson laments Romney’s callous actions which caused some folks to lose their jobs, insurance and retirement plans. Again, he had a success rate of 78-per-cent. What has been President Obama’s success rate using our money in deference to the wishes of the majority of this country’s citizens?

Do Paula and Cathy really want to know? Do they even care?

Cathy claims that Ryan’s plan will destroy Medicaid, Medicare and food stamps. That under the Ryan plan, a safety net will not exist. This is an absolute and total lie. That old saw about repeating a lie often enough and people

believe it to be the gospel truth has struck again. Yes folks, true Kool-Aid drinkers sipping from the Messiah’s chalice of liberal libation actually believe that Rep. Paul Ryan really wants to throw granny off the cliff. Sorry, Paula and Cathy, you have been duped by the Obama political spinmeisters into believing that Obama actually cares about the middle class. He is the emperor of class warfare and and the crown prince of crony capitalism. He is an elitist, radical socialist who deems to destroy capitalism because he firmly believes it is evil. The evidence is overwhelming. The fundamental transformation has begun. If Governor Romney isn’t able to stop the bleeding, this country may be irreversibly sucking on the socialist teat of totalitarianism and capitalism will be flat lining. Who will be the entrepreneurs willing to take the risk and venture their capital when the dividerin-chief will just bury them in regulations and confiscate most of their wealth?

I believe President George Bush committed fiscal misdemeanors squandering much of our taxes with no plan to pay for them. President Obama has doubled down on his predesessors’ profligate ways by committing fiscal felonies. If all citizen’s of every political stripe had any idea just how much of our hard earned money is being thrown away through mismanagement, deception and fraud, they would revolt after they finished vomiting from consumption of these atrocious revelations. If we had a competent, streamlined government that had a clue with how to keep track of it’s duplicitous programs and one that would weed out all the people who should not be receiving free government benefits, there would be more money and benefits for the people who are truly deserving of it. That is what conservatives, libertarians and tea party folks understand. They are the compassionate ones and not the ones who feign compassion while handing out other people’s money. That is, until the money runs out. That’s the plan for Francois Hollande, France’s new socialist party president. He would be the one with three homes on the French Rivera.

Perhaps Cathy and Paula would like to go spend some time in gay ole Paris. I’d love to know their opinion of full blown socialism at work.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, June 12, 2012 — Page 5

LETTERS Truth is that all of us are against imposing equality of outcome To the editor, I appreciate Steve Earle’s invitation to debate Gene Danforth, and especially the respectful tone of his letter.

I’m all in favor of healthy debate, but not if it means having to defend positions that don’t reflect my views.

As it happens, my view is exactly the same as he ascribes to Gene: “our government was only created to provide an environment where individuals could flourish but not that the government would be responsible to see that they did.” I do not in fact believe that it is up to government to ensure that everyone flourishes.

Steve has set up a straw man, one which I have no interest in propping up. I believe he’s referring to the standard conservative complaint that Republicans aim for equal opportunity while Democrats want equal outcomes. But this is nonsense.

First, the distinction between equality of outcome and equality of opportunity vanishes almost as soon as you look at it. Wealth is nothing but concentrated opportunity. To be born into an affluent, better educated and better connected family is to begin life with huge advantages over someone born into less fortunate circumstances.

If conservatives were serious about wanting equal opportunity for everyone they would support draconian estate taxes for the very wealthy, more nutritional aid for poor children, more aid for low-income college students, and much else besides. Policies such as these interfere with parents’ outcomes so that the next generation’s opportunities will be more equal.

Second, I know of no serious politician who has ever proposed that equality means the absolute equality of everything, that everyone should be the same. No, not even that great boogeyman of the right, Karl Marx, who after all wrote “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need”.

As anyone with a sibling knows all too well, we come into this world with different gifts. And different handicaps as well. Even twins, who share the same genetic and environmental inheritance, often take very different paths through life. To insist on an equality of outcomes is a fool’s errand.

When our Declaration of Independence spoke of certain unalienable rights, it spoke of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (emphasis added). No guarantee of happiness there — and wisely so, because it’s an impossibility.

The claim that a particular level of social and economic inequality is excessive, or too entrenched, does not logically imply a desire to eliminate all inequality. If I think I’m too heavy, it does not follow that I want to reduce my weight to zero. If I think an individual has been committee chairman for too long, it does not follow that I think he or she should never have been chairman.

If Steve, Gene or anyone else can provide a quote where a leading Democrat has suggested that the goal of government is to make everyone

equally wealthy or equally happy, I would love to see it. And, no, Obama saying that he wants to “spread the wealth around” doesn’t count.

Why not? Because even Republicans are in favor of redistributing wealth.

How’s that? Well, for one thing, 9 out of 10 states with the biggest net federal cash inflows are Republican and they’re not exactly falling over themselves to return those excess, unearned dollars to the blue states which dominate the table of net outflow states. Talk about welfare states.

Second, even if you think progressive tax systems are unfair and favor a flat tax instead, government cannot avoid redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor. Take the simplest example where you have two taxpayers, one making $1m per year, the other making $50k.

With a 10-percent tax rate, guess what? Our rich taxpayer has just paid over 95-percent of all taxes collected. Even in the unlikely event that both taxpayers benefit equally from government services and programs, wealth has effectively been transferred to the poorer individual.

(By the way, this wealth distribution effect inevitably grows stronger as the level of income inequality rises.

Can you guess what’s at an all-time high now, at levels not seen since the days just before the Great Depression over 80 years ago?)

No, the truth is that everybody opposes equality of outcome. The special distinction of today’s Republicans is that they oppose any steps by government to reduce inequality of outcomes, even if this means that we risk turning the U.S. into a plutocracy with minimal social mobility between classes.

Perhaps we can agree that government ought to provide not equal opportunities for all, but rather a baseline level of opportunity. Every American ought to have “enough” opportunity to participate fully in our society and to make a decent life.

What this means and how we accomplish it are debates well worth having. Is it enough for all to have equal inherent rights and to receive equal treatment before the law, as most conservatives believe? Or should government take additional steps to ensure that these rights are more than just theoretical? What type of society and government would we want if we didn’t know in advance what circumstances we would be born into, or what gifts and handicaps would be ours (rich/ poor, educated/ uneducated, white/ black/ etc.)?

There are no simple answers and simple thinking will get you nowhere.

(Well, maybe work as a pundit on MSNBC or Fox News.) The article on Equality of Opportunity in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, for example (available online), is over 30 pages long!

Not that I’m suggesting this as homework ...

To the editor, Tim Sullivan seems intent on picking a fight with me but I wonder why?

My ‘rants” as he calls them, he says, are not based on checkable facts. I beg to differ. Gas for my car was $1.83/ gal. when Obama took office and heating oil was around twenty cents higher. Just recently gas went up to around $3.85/gal. and heating oil to over $4.00/gal. In the past few weeks gas has dropped to $3.68 (lowest I’ve seen) so that is still twice what it was when Obama took office. I think that’s checkable.

As for coal-fired generating plants, they still are operating, producing electricity and so long as they are, costs will remain generally stable (Tim says coal prices are being forced down by natural gas), which is good.

Natural gas is good too, even better then coal but we simply do not have enough of it at this time so Obama causing coal plants to close “will cause the cost of energy to skyrocket.” His words not mine. That’s checkable, too.

There are renewable ways to pro-

duce energy, geothermal, hydro electric, plasma generators, but all the president and his crew are interested in are solar panels and windmills which are rated very low on the efficiency scales. Another checkable fact.

Obama likes electric cars or at least hybrid’s but so far those things cost about twice as much as the same car with a gas engine. I really think that’s checkable, too. So I just wonder what Tim has such a problem with?

His other pet peeve appears to be the banks and Wall Street. He wants those crooks thrown in jail. Well okay, throw them in jail, but first be real sure they have actually broken at least one law. Maybe Tim’s a lawyer.

I’m not. Maybe he has evidence of wrong doing, I don’t. Or is the old “well everyone knows their crooks” sentiment. That just doesn’t cut it; a prosecutor wants evidence. Good luck with that Tim, I’ll fight the fights I have a chance of winning and let others tilt at windmills.

To the editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in my receipt of the Annette P. Schmitt Unsung Hero Award. If you were there (or saw the photo), you know just how shocked and surprised I was.

I am honored to be recognized for this and it would not be possible for me to do what I do without the support of my family and co-workers.

I am so fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people who are dedicated to children and their well-being each and every day. They are the true “unsung heroes”, who make a difference in our young peoples lives daily.

My husband and son have always been my cheering squad and have so been supportive when I have been involved with different groups taking me out of the home for extended periods of time. They also make a difference in the lives of children as they

are both employed in education. It meant so much to me to have them present on Tuesday night to see me receive this award.

I would like to thank all of the organizations that I have been involved in that have made it easy for me to connect children with assistance that they may have needed. Santa Fund of the Lakes Region, Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation, BIBA, The Children’s Auction and Laconia School District have been major players just to name a few.

Thank you to everyone who called, sent an e-mail or card or congratulated me in person. If you know me at all, you know I do not like to be in the spotlight.

Towns should delay or eliminate much spending until good times To the editor, The Lakes Region of N.H. depends heavily on tourists, here for vacations, boating, fishing, skiing, and right now noisy Motorcycle Week. Loss of jobs, homes, and income has especially hurt all those providing services to those tourists, to the point of some going out of business. The one fixed cost to all of them is property tax. And that is something intelligent town officials

can modify: reduce, abate, put holds on property tax to help them survive.

Taxing such businesses out of existence results in permanent tax loss to the towns. From what I’ve observed, towns can delay or eliminate a LOT of spending until good times return, and then be proud of helping their needed businesses survive, to pay more taxes again!

What Mr. Meade is saying is that men just outperform woman, period To the editor, I am writing in response to Bob Meade’s letter about unequal pay for equal work, which he sees as a performance issue and not a gender one. What I hear Meade saying is that all those women who have the same qualifications as men but are paid less, are performing at a level below men. In other words, what he is saying is

that men just perform better than women period.

His second point is that male supervisors are all evaluating the work of women and men from a gender neutral perspective. If he really believes this, he’s not paying attention.

LETTERS University curriculum is awash with progressive themes & ideologies To the editor, Peter Berkowitz is a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institute and a member of the National Association of Scholars board of directors. His article “How California’s Colleges Indoctrinate Students” should serve as an eye opener to those who have seen serious dysfunctions within our own education system.

A report by NAS titled “A Crises of Competence: The Corrupting Effect of Political Activism in the University of California” diagnoses the pathologies that have been prevailing throughout the country.

The study analysis suggests that a hollowing is permeating within the walls of academia that is weakening college graduates in developing marketable skills. Curriculum has declined in history and literature.

Nine of the general campuses in the UC system do not require the study of Western civilization. Shakespeare is not taught in several of the colleges to English majors. American politics is missing in political science departments. Students are graduating who are ignorant of history, literature and American constitutional government.

There appears to be a preference by a majority of professors to promote a partisan political agenda.

Stanley Rothman’s study in 1999 and Neil Gross and Solon Simmons in 2007 found that university’s left leaning has become severe. Daniel Klein and Andrew Western found that in social science’s, a ratio of 21 Democrats to one Republican and at Berkeley there is a 4 to one ratio. The sociology department at Berkeley faculty held 17 Democrats and no Republicans. The political science department held 28 Democrats and two Republicans. The English department had 29 Democrats and one Republican. In the history department there is 31 Democrats and one Republican.

UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute found “that they should teach their students to be agents of social change rather than believe it is important to teach them the classics

of Western civilization”.

The American Association of University Professors published in 1915 and again in 1940 their “aim of academic freedom was not to indoctrinate but to equip students to think for themselves”. Today the AAUP has done a complete turn around from their earlier philosophies. Left-leaning professors have kept conservatives issues out of their classroom except to demean them as an unworthy subject.

Curriculum is awash with progressive themes and ideologies.

The report states: “far from performing their role as the university’s quality control mechanism, now routinely function as enablers, protectors, and even apologists for the politicized university and its degraded scholarly and educational standards”.

California’s educators have not kept up with high standards but failed as educators and even broken California law. Article IX, Section 9, of the California state Constitution states, “The university shall be entirely independent of all political or sectarian influences and kept free therefrom”. Like true liberal academics, if you don’t like the law, don’t obey it. Where have I heard that before?

A recent conversation with a Chinese nuclear engineer who studied in this country gave the impression of disappointment in our academia and the wide use of marijuana. Yet, he stated, American scientist are the best in the world. This young Asian is not the first to see the dangers within our education system. He pointed out the intentional weakening of our strengths. I was amazed that his analysis of our academia echoes the reports above.

Indoctrination through rote has disorientated many of our youth. Parents who teach their children hard work gives them the ability to succeed and see through the ideologies of the left and extreme right. A watered down degree is of little value: It is but a statement: “I have a degree in ignorance”.

Sandy rejects the very U.S. government that gave him his advantage To the editor, Mr. Sandy or Professor Sandy, commending as a “world citizen” the refusal of the saying the pledge of allegiance is child’s play on his part and he ought to think about growing up.

Declaring himself a “world citizen” doesn’t renounce his United States citizenship or his responsibility as a citizen. Section 349(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481) provisions of section 349(a)(5): Americans cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the United States (http:// travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_776.html). He states “as a world citizen, I could not pledge to any flag or any state...”; by definition a citizen is a member of a nation or a state.

There is an organization which issues “world citizen” passports, (http://www. wikihow.com/Be-a-World-Citizen) but without a nation to back it up — lots of luck. What Mr. Sandy does is play,

chologist and actually is as learned as he purports, then it is we all are just being played. It is quite obvious that he, Mr. Sandy, seldom speaks, it is the professor, the psychologist and we are his subjects/patients, gently to be guided through our mental failings to the brilliant and enlightened world which he knows could exist.

He had revealed some years ago in his column, (Laconia Daily Sun, 03-24-2008, page 4) that he quit school, publicly challenged to behave in class, just walked out because he was upset with/by the teacher. He has been using the “system” to his advantage, serving in the Navy he was able to use that to skip facing his lack of education and attend college, most likely on the GI Bill. Yet he rejects the government which has given him the “advantages” he has had. For 200+ years the countries of the world has sought to bring our form of government to an end or out of theirs.

Fellow leatherneck recalls Peter Makris as ‘cool customer who liked to ride’

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Hundreds of motorcyclists turned out on Saturday for the 6th Annual Peter Makris Memorial Run, an event which has come to mark the official start of Bike Week.

Sunny weather with a refreshing breeze every now and then made for a perfect day for the benefit ride around Lake Winnipesaukee, which in its first five years has raised over $150,000 for the Laconia Fire Department’s water rescue team and the New Hampshire Easter Seals Veterans Count program.

An avid motorcyclist, Makris had helped found the U.S. Marine Leathernecks Motorcycle Club and was ‘’a cool customer who liked to ride,’’ according to Bob Patenaude of Moultonborough, who was along with Makris one of the original members of the Leathernecks. ‘’He was a smart rider and really enjoyed getting out for trips around the lake,’’ said Patenaude, who has been at every memorial run since 2007, when Marilyn DeMartini, a friend of the Makris family from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, came up with the idea of the ride as a tribute to Makris, who had died earlier that year.

Another person who has been at every one of the runs since 2007 is Harvey Dewees of Sanbornton, a pharmacist who recalled Makris as a regular customer at Brooks Pharmacy when he worked there and said he always enjoyed talking with Makris. ‘’He was a great guy, always friendly and fun to talk with,’’ said Dewees, who said that the weather this year was much better than last year, when it was cold, wet and rainy and ‘’so bad I thought it might snow.’’

Making the run for the first time were Lou Guevin and Dean Ingram of the Bank of New Hampshire, who were taking their wives along with them. ‘’We’ve wanted to take part in the ride since it started, but something always came up. This year things worked out and as the bank is a major sponsor of the event it certainly makes sense for us to be here.’’ said Guevin.

It was also the first run for a group of bikers from New York’s Lake George area and northern New Jersey. Holly Holman, who grew up in New Durham and along with her husband, Glen, once ran a motel in Rochester, said she and her husband led the group over from Lake George after taking in the annual Americade Bike event there. ‘’It’s the first time we’ve ever been to the Laconia event, We read about it at Americade and thought it would be worth the trip over,’’ said Eric Duncan of Lyndhurst, New Jersey, who was riding with

Denisse Rivera, also of Lyndhurst.

They were very impressed when members of the New Hampshire State Police motorcycle unit, which was to lead the bikers around the big lake, arrived and met with Cynthia Makris, Naswa general manager, at the registration area on the resort’s beach. They peppered people with questions about Peter Makris and how the event came to be named for him, expressing wonderment when they were told that he had dropped out of high school in Boston to join the Marines at the age of 17 during World War II. State Police officers Jay Lapointe, Brian Ross and Tim Stearns said they were glad to see the good weather after last year’s dreary weather. ‘’On a day like today it’s not a bad gig,’’ said Lapointe.

Stearns would later in the day sustain minor injuries in an accident on Rte. 11 in Alton near the intersection of Jesus Valley Road when an approaching motorcyclist who was not in the procession attempted to turn left off into a lane designated for Makris’ riders. Stearns braked his bike abruptly and laid it down on the pavement to avoid striking

other bikes. He was treated at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia and later released.

Cynthia Makris expressed her gratitude for the large turnout at ceremonies which preceded the start of the ride. “Our whole family is so grateful to our guests, friends and all the people who have joined in this celebration and way to give back to our community.’’

Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson said that he’ll never forget how Makris stepped to the plate with a $5,000 donation in 2004 for the Laconia Fire Department’s water rescue unit.

Prior to the start of the ride Makris’s widow, Hope, was the center of attention as members of the NH Fire Brigade Bagpipers surrounded her and played ‘’America’’ and ‘’the Marine Corps Hymn.’’ ‘’It brought tears to my eyes. It’s so wonderful to have this in memory of Peter. He loved his Marines and his motorcycle and having fun times with people. All of the people here today are going to be enjoying themselves and working for good causes.

Peter would have loved this,’’ she said.

Cilley chastises selectboard for agreeing to hire part-time fire code enforcement officer after BudCom said no

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — Sparks between sitting selectmen and a former selectmen flew last night after she challenged the Selectboard’s tacit agreement to allow the fire chief to seek a part-time fire code enforcement officer.

School Board member and former Selectman Donna Cilley wanted to know what had happened since the Budget Committee rejected a similar request during the 2012 budget deliberation sessions. “It was voted the town was not going to have this,” she said.

The discussion began with selectmen’s Chair Jon Pike stating that historically there have been three chiefs who had come before the selectmen to make this request and each time, since he has been a selectman, he had been adamantly opposed. He said that he had traditionally been so opposed that a few months ago his opposition had Vice-Chair Ron Cormier “throwing his arms up in the air and threatening to walk out.”

What changed, he said, is the death of former Code Enforcement Officer Steve Dalton and an injury to the Fire Department employee who had been performing many of the fire code inspections.

At present, he said, the town is without a Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector and in Dalton, who was also a certified firefighter, the town benefited. Pike explained that while Dalton would enforce building codes, he would also “make suggestions” as to fire codes and what standards business owners and others could expect from the Fire Department.

Pike also said the town should not get its hopes up for a new code enforcement officer who would have firefighter experience and that while it is a goal for the new hire, he said the town may not be able to accomplish the goal.

“One guy washes the car and another guy parks it,” said Pike, explaining fire and code inspections are two decidedly different things.

“Although I’m for smaller government, I’m for safety,” Pike said, adding he would support the part-time position only if it lasted until the next budget cycle.

“The proof will be in the pudding and it will take some salesmanship to sell it to the Budget Committee this year,” he said looking at Fire Chief Dave Parenti who was sitting in the front row.

“We are not adding a full-time firefighter,” Pike said, adding he wanted that to be well known and he was definitely against that.

Cilley’s objection centered on the rejection of the position by the Budget Committee and that she believes hiring a part-time fire inspector is a back-door way of eventually adding an additional firefighter.

She said it never was Dalton’s job to do fire inspections and that the responsibility for getting them done falls squarely on the shoulders of the fire chief.

The Fire Department has made due,” she said, adding that the source of the money for this year — the parttime, never-filled field inspector in the land use department — probably never should have been funded.

Selectman Ruth Mooney, a former Budget Committee member, said she could see the need to hire a 15-hour a week fire inspector to get the town “back up to snuff”, especially while the town seeks a full-time code enforcement officer. Cormier has traditionally supported the part-time fire department request and had no objection to the part-time proposal.

Selectmen, by consensus, agreed to allow Parenti to draft a job description and pay schedule for the part-time fire code officer and return to them at the next meeting for review and a vote. Meanwhile, selectmen gave town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin the go ahead to advertise for a full-time code enforcement officer with a goal of having someone on board by summer’s end.

BRYSON from page 3 Bryson then struck a second car in the nearby city of Rosemead, where he was found unconscious in his car, authorities said.

Bryson has returned to Washington after a brief hospital stay, department spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman said.

President Barack Obama said he found out about the crashes Monday but hasn’t yet spoken with Bryson.

“And my hope is that he’s doing all right,” he told KTIV-TV in Sioux City, Iowa. “It sounds like it was health-related in some way. But we’re going to make sure that obviously he gets the best care, and we’ll be able to make a determination from there.”

Officials said Bryson was not on state business, was driving a personal car and did not have a security detail at the time. see next page

GILFORD — That beautiful black 2012 Harley-Davidson Street Glide located inside Town Hall could belong to some lucky person in exchange for his or her’s $50 donation to the Gilford Police Relief Association.

With ticket sales limited to 600, the association hopes to raise about $10,000 said spokesman and Patrol Officer Wes DeSousa.

The Gilford Police Relief Association helps support the DARE program and gives scholarships to Gilford High School Graduates but a great deal of the work of the association is done behind the scenes.

DeSousa said the department uses the money raised to buy Christmas presents for less fortunate children in town, gives money to families who have suffered temporary setbacks due to fires or other accidents and sends a lot of Gilford children to camps they would not likely be able to afford.

The relief association also provides meals and temporary housing for indigents who find themselves in Gilford and the organization sponsors fishing

derbies and other outdoor activities often co-sponsored with the Gilford Fire Department.

DeSousa said the last raffle sponsored by the association (a boat) raised money to buy some new firearms for the police officers so as to not put additional financial pressure on the annual department budget and the taxpayers. He said the relief fund has been tapped in the past for unexpected equipment purchases.

Tickets can be purchased at the Gilford Police Department located in Town Hall, at the Ellacoya Country Store, Kitchen Cravings, American Cottage, Gator Signs and the Wineing Butcher. Police will be selling tickets in person this weekend at the Airport County Store and Deli.

DeSousa said the winner of the Harley Davidson must pay about $500 in fees a transfers charges and, should the winner not want the bike, Laconia Harley-Davidson has agreed to repurchase it.

from preceding page He took a Breathalyzer test that didn’t detect any alcohol, but investigators were awaiting the results from a blood test, said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker.

Commerce officials said he was given medication to treat the seizure.

Paramedics treated two people in the first collision for pain, but a couple involved in the second crash declined medical aid.

The case was being reviewed by sheriff’s investigators and will likely be submitted to prosecutors in the coming days.

“In most cases, it is presented to the DA’s office to make a decision,” sheriff’s Lt. Margarito Robles said.

Defense attorney Steve Meister said “it’s difficult to assign criminal liability when someone was medically unconscious. They have to be aware what was happening.”

Meister said he has represented people who have been involved in crashes while having seizures. He recalled how one woman struck another vehicle and didn’t remember anything.

No one was injured, but the woman was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence because she was acting disoriented, Meister said.

The woman didn’t have any drugs or alcohol in her system, but she pleaded to a misdemeanor crime.

“It turns out she had a history (of seizures),” Meister said. “If I was (Bryson’s) lawyer, I would try to find all the evidence there was to back up what he’s already said.”

The episode is consistent with someone who has suffered a series of epileptic seizures, said Dr. Jerome Engel Jr., a neurologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who is not involved in Bryson’s care.

After a seizure, a person is often confused, and that state of confusion can last for a while.

“You may even seem to be alert and awake, but you’re not really behaving normally,” Engel said.

Under California law, a doctor has to report a patient who complains of lapses of consciousness or whose epileptic seizures pose an impairment to driving.

Weirs Beach business neighbors in court today over a gate that’s locked; Wide Open Saloon at heart of the dispute?

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — Patricia Baldi, owner of the Weirs Beach Drive-In, last week brought suit in Belknap County Superior Court against neighboring Thurston’s Marina for barring a right of way between the two abutting parcels and jeopardizing Baldi’s ability to lease her property to vendors during Motorcycle Week.

The case is scheduled to be heard this morning.

Neither Baldi nor the Thurstons could be reached for comment on Monday.

The dispute between Baldi and her neighbor reflects the tension arisen from the refusal of Brandi Baldi, Patricia’s daughter-in-law who owns the Wide Open Saloon, also abutting Thurston’s Marina, to raze the building, which was ravaged by fire in September 2010. Don and Mark Thurston have been among the many business owners at The Weirs to express frustration that two summer seasons since the fire the charred remains of the building are still standing.

A fence with a gate at the southeast corner of the 12.6 acres housing the drive-in theater divides it from a portion of the marina. Before 1978, the two properties were both owned by Lawrence Baldi, who then sold six acres to Thurston Enterprises. In petitioning the court, Bald cites the deed granted to Thurston Enterprises reserving a right of way over the six acres.

In particular, the deed stipulates that “the Grantor

[Baldi] also reserves the right of extending the use of said right of way for the purpose of access and the right to pass and repass over said right of way in the event . . . the City of Laconia requires the grantor, his heirs and assigns in the use of the subject premises to have another means of ingress and egress.”

The right to use the right of way, the deed continues, is “subject to . . . the right of the grantee (Thurston Enterprises) to maintain gates and bars in order to prevent travel over the same by the general public to prevent interference with the grantee’s business so long as the maintain of said gates and bars shall not interfere with the use of the right of way reserved herein by grantor (Baldi), his heirs and assigns.”

Baldi claims that the principals of Thurston Enterprises have locked the gate and alleges that they have expressly refused to open the right of way during Motorcycle Week. Furthermore, she contends that the city has required the right of way be open as a second means of entering and leaving the drive-in during the rally.

In her petition Baldi notes that the drive-in theater hosts a large number of vendors during the rally and if she is unable to lease the property “there will be an incalculable negative impact” not only on her but also on Motorcycle Week and other business and property owners. She told the court that she spoke with the Thurstons at 2 p.m. on Friday in an effort to settle their differences and turned to the court when they refused.

SANDUSKY from page 2 The man said he met Sandusky through The Second Mile and that they began showering together in 1997. What began as “soap battles” quickly progressed to oral sex and other contact, the accuser said, adding that he was 90 or 100 pounds and powerless to resist the advances of the much larger man.

According to the witness, Sandusky tried assaulting him in a hotel bathroom before a bowl banquet in Texas and threatened to send him home when he resisted, warning: “You don’t want to go back, do you?” Sandusky stopped only when his wife, Dottie, called out from another room, the witness said.

Over the years, the witness said, he never told Sandusky to stop.

“It was never talked about, ever,” the man said. “It was basically like whatever happened there never really happened.”

A self-described college football fan, the man said he enjoyed the access to Penn State football games and facilities. The man said Sandusky let him wear the No. 11 uniform of LaVar Arrington.

The man testified that Sandusky also took him on trips to bowl games, including the Outback and the Alamo. He gave the boy golf clubs, snowboards, drum sets and various Penn State memorabilia, including a watch from the Orange Bowl, the man testified. He said he would wear gift jerseys to school.

The witness said Sandusky occasionally sent him “creepy love letters.”

One letter, shown on a video screen in court, was handwritten on Penn State letterhead and signed “Jerry.” It read: “I know that I have made my share of mistakes. However I hope that I will be able to say that I cared. There has been love in my heart.” see next page

Confused About the Stock Market in Today’s Economy?

Who can predict, with absolute certainty, what will happen in the financial market or the economy, in the near or distant future? It’s as challenge for everyone. Your entire nest egg is hanging in the balance if you are invested in U.S. or World Markets. Should you be concerned? I think you should, especially in light of the Market performance during the years spanning 2001 to 2010. The returns were appalling! Often referred to as “The Lost Decade”, investors experienced an overall loss of 18.6% from 1/1/00 through 1/1/10. However, you would have experienced a significantly different scenario had your funds been in a Fixed Index Annuity (FIA). For example, $100,000 invested in the S&P during that decade resulted in an account value of $81,359, while a $100,000 FIA with a 2.75% return would have been valued at $131,165. The +31% gain would have been welcomed by an investor!

Now let’s face it, you aren’t working at the same pace as you did when you were younger!

Your risk tolerance and life perspectives have changed. Now is the time to consider FIA’s as a solution. If you want to earn more than what CD’s are paying and still protect your principle from market losses, ask your financial advisor about an FIA. Here’s why.

CEMETERY from page one wistfully as he looked at the plaques that now mark the graves of those who died during their stay in Laconia.

“I feel good now that they have a cemetery where they can rest.”

According to Gordon Dubois, the filmmaker who chronicled the former state school in his documentary “Lost in Laconia,” the cemetery at Chemung has taken on new meaning in the past few years and with the new gate at the entrance and a mosaic sign installed in front, his life’s work of bringing knowledge and respectability to the former residents of the notorious institution is reaching fruition.

Opened in early 1900s as the New Hampshire School for the Feeble Minded and closed in 1991 in the wake of a lawsuit filed by the parents of many of the residents, Dubois was a counselor and along with Superintendent Richard Crocker was one of the employees who forever bolted the doors on the Laconia State School.

He said the cemetery was founded in 1941 and initially consisted of unmarked graves whose wooden markers with numbers would be removed for mowing, stacked in a corner, and replaced haphazardly once the mowing was over.

Dubois said the general attitude was “what difference does it make. No one knows who they were anyway.”

The difference was made in 1978 when the Parents Association was formed and a search was made for the records of who was buried where. A longtime caretaker had kept records and Dubois said the plaques that now identify each grave with a name are reasonably accurate.

For Cocheco Arts and Technology Academy Headmistress Christy Cloutier Holmes, the chance for her students to use their artistic talents at Chemung came from Dr. Candace Cole McCrae — a lifelong advocate of the disabled and disenfranchised. see next page

from preceding page Eventually, as the man got older and acquired a girlfriend, he became “basically sick of what was happening to me” and distanced himself from Sandusky. They had not spoken since 2002 when, in 2010, he took his girlfriend and 3-year-old son to visit the Sanduskys in what he said was an attempt to convince his girlfriend her suspicions about Sandusky were not true.

He said that “backfired” when Sandusky gave him a lot of attention and tried to rub his shoulders.

Under cross-examination by Amendola, the man expressed regret for not coming forward earlier, saying: “I feel if I just said something back then ... I feel responsible for what happened to other victims.” He said he had spent years “burying this in the back of my head.”

During his opening statement,

Amendola said Sandusky’s showering with children was innocuous and part of his upbringing.

“In Jerry’s culture, growing up in his generation, where he grew up, he’s going to tell you it was routine for individuals to get showers together,” the lawyer said. “I suspect for those of you who might have been in athletics, it’s routine.”

Amendola also said that Mike McQueary, the football team assistant who reported seeing Sandusky naked in a shower with a boy in 2001, was mistaken about what he saw.

“We don’t think that he lied. What we think is that he saw something and made assumptions,” the lawyer told the jury.

Amendola also said that at least six of the accusers have civil lawyers, adding: “These young men had a financial interest in this case and pursuing this case.”

Still a lot of holes on both GOP & Democratic tickets for House races

LACONIA — With a four days remaining in the filing period, both parties have filed full slates of candidates in only two of the nine New Hampshire House of Representative state representative districts in Belknap County.

Last week, four of the five incumbent Republicans — Frank Tilton, Don Flanders, Bob Kingsbury and Bob Luther — filed for re-election the four seats elected at-large in Laconia, of District 3. They will be challenged by four Democrats — David Huot, Charles Smith, Robert Fisher and Chad Vaillancourt. Laconia, which elected five representatives during the past decade, will return only four in the next after losing population at the 2010 census.

Representative Harry Accornero, the fifth incumbent, has filed to run in District 9, where the voters of Belmont and Laconia elect one representatives. No Democrat has yet filed in the district.

In District 2, consisting of Meredith and Gilford, where voters elect four representatives, incumbent Republicans Colette Worsman and Bob Greemore of Meredith have filed for re-election.

They are joined on the GOP ticket by Kevin Leandro of Gilford. Two Demo-

crats, Kate Miller, who served two terms in the House from 2006 to 2008, and Sandra Mucci, both from Meredith have also entered the race.

Veteran Republican legislator Dennis Fields of Sanbornton has filed for re-election in District 4, consisting of Sanbornton and Tilton, which returns two representatives, and is joined on the GOP ticket by Tim Lang, also from Sanbornton. No Democrat has filed as of yet.

Two Democrats, Selectman Ron Cormier and George Condodemetraky have filed in Belmont, or District 6 where two seats will be contested. No Republican has yet filed to succeed Jim Pilliod, who retired.

In District 5, where Alton and Gilmanton elect two representatives, Richard Burchell, a Republican, has filed, but so far has neither a running mate nor an opponent.

Likewise, Ruth Gulick, a Democrat from New Hampton, has filed to for the seat shared between New Hampton and Center Harbor. So far no Republican has entered the race.

Candidates have yet to file for the single seat in District 7, Barnstead, or the seat filled by the voters of Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton in District 8.

Number of Bike Week vendors down at little LACONIA — The 89th running of Motorcycle Week opened this week with slightly fewer licensed merchandise and food vendors than a year ago.

According to Lindsey Allen of the Licensing Department, as of yesterday there were 231 licensed vendors doing business at this year’s rally compared to 242 last year. This year there are 192 merchandise vendors and 39 food vendors, compared to 211

and 31 in 2011.

Allen said that the total revenue to date from vendor licenses is $110,075, which is $9,700 less than collected a year ago. The special revenue fund for Motorcycle Week, which is intended to defray the municipal expenses of managing the event, projected licensing revenue of $130,000.

Health of Egypt’s Mubarak said to be deteriorating quickly in prison

CAIRO (AP) — Hosni Mubarak’s health worsened Monday, with doctors twice having to use a defibrillator on the imprisoned former leader, adding to the tumult in Egypt before this weekend’s runoff election for president.

Mubarak, 84, was slipping in and out of consciousness, was suffering from high blood pressure and breathing difficulties, and was in a deep depression, according to security officials at Torah prison where he is serving a life sentence. Doctors there could not find a pulse twice, and used the defibrillator, they said.

The deposed leader, who was being given liquids intravenously, also lost consciousness several times Sunday.

His health crisis came at time of political anxiety in Egypt, with AUBURN from page 2 after the shooting and providing false information to officers.

Police said it wasn’t known whether Jeremy Thomas and Gabriel Thomas are related. Officers also were looking for a third man described as a person of interest in the case, but it wasn’t clear why.

a former prime minister from the Mubarak regime facing an Islamist in a showdown at the ballot box on June 16-17.

“He is causing everyone a headache,” said Ahmed Badawi, a liberal activist who participated in last year’s Arab Spring uprising that ousted Mubarak. “There are daily rumors that he died and where he is held is also a thorny issue. He is definitely feeding the nervousness we are all living in these days.”

Egypt is in the home stretch of a 16-month transitional period overseen by the military council that succeeded him — a time that has seen the rising power of the Islamists, deadly street protests and gross human rights abuses blamed on the generals, including the torture of detainees and trials for civilians in front of military tribunals.

The generals have promised to hand over power to a civilian administration by July 1, about 10 days after the winner of the runoff is announced. The election pits Ahmed Shafiq, Mubarak’s last prime minister, against Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Glee over rescue of Spanish banks morphs into financial market rout

MADRID (AP) — Euphoria over a lifeline of up to 100 billion ($125 billion) to rescue Spain’s hurting banks morphed into a financial markets rout in a matter of hours Monday, as investors digested the still-undefined plan and became concerned the country may be unable to repay the new loans.

The rate on Spanish 10-year bonds — a measure of market trust in a country’s ability to repay debt — rose to an alarmingly high yield of 6.47 percent at the close of trading after falling to 6 percent in the morning. And the benchmark IBEX-35 stock index closed down 0.5 percent after surging 6 percent in the morning.

Overshadowing Spain’s acceptance over the weekend of a bailout for banks burdened by toxic property assets and loans are Greek elections next weekend and concerns that the anti-bailout left-wing party Syriza could become the largest party in parliament, putting the country’s membership in the zone at risk.

Investors also zeroed in on Italy, sending its bond yields sharply higher amid worries it could be next in line for a bailout because of a deepening recession and increasing pressure on the administration of Premier Mario Monti. And Spain’s economy is in terrible shape with no sign of improvement anytime soon.

“Plenty of risk still remains in place, with question marks over the ability of Spain to repay the debt, especially, if the country fails to get back on the growth path, the outcome of the upcoming Greek elections and the perception of situation in Italy,” Anita Paluch of Gekko Global Markets wrote in a note to clients.

Spain’s bond yield is worrisome because it is perilously close the 7 percent rate that is considered unsustainable, and the level that pushed Greece, Ireland and Portugal to ask for bailouts of their government finances. While Spain’s bailout does not include the government, investors are worried that Spain might

eventually be forced into such a situation.

The rescue for Spain’s banks was portrayed by Spanish and European officials as a bid to contain Europe’s widening recession and financial crisis that have hurt companies and investors around the world. Providing a financial lifeline to Spanish banks was designed to relieve anxiety on the economy.

Finance ministers of the 17 nations that use the euro said Saturday they would make the loan of up to 100 billion available to the Spanish government to prop up banks laden with non-performing loans and other toxic assets after the collapse of a real estate bubble.

Recession-hit Spain, which has the eurozone’s fourth-largest economy, has yet to say how much of this money it will tap while it waits for the results of two independent audits of the country’s banking industry, not due until June 21 — after the Greek elections. The bailout loans will be paid into the Spanish government’s Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB), which would then use the money to strengthen the country’s teetering banks.

In a report released late last week, the International Monetary Fund estimated Spain needs around 40 billion to prop up banks hurting from an unprecedented real estate boom that went bust.

Worried investors still don’t know precisely how much Spain will seek, and how large a safety margin of extra money it might take to cushion itself against further shocks, such as a deterioration in the economy already in its second recession in three years with unemployment of nearly 25 percent, the highest in the eurozone.

MEREDITH — Police said two motorcyclists from Worcester, Mass. were struck by a car driven by a woman exiting a church parking lot Sunday morning.

According to a police report, the driver of the automobile, Patricia Rosha, 78 of Dale Road was turning west onto Rte. 25 in the vicinity of Trinity Episcopal Church when she struck Penelope A. Devlin, 45, and Lawrence Marcil, 49 as they were head east on separate motorcycles.

Both motorcyclists were taken to Lakes Region General Hospital by ambulance while Rosha was unharmed.

Police continue to investigate.

LPD from page one past two years.

Adams said that last year detectives noticed a sharp rise in the number of people frequently reporting that their prescription medications had been stolen. Suspicious that they were selling the drugs and claiming theft as a ruse to refill the prescription, police began reporting the individuals directly to the prescribing physician, who then declined to write a fresh prescription. Captain Bill Clary told the councilors that since the policy was adopted reports of stolen prescriptions have fallen by half.

“With a second full-time narcotics detective we can double the number of arrests and seizures,” Adams said. He proposed adding another detective and assigning a patrol officer to the drug unit, which would then number three.

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) suggested using $70,000 of the $110,000 City Manager recommended appropriating to rebuild the Opechee Park House to hire an additional patrolman at the Police Department, which would enable Adams to strengthen the drug unit without depleting the ranks of patrol officers. He said that there would be sufficient funds to demolish the park house, which would be reconstructed in the next budget cycle.

Although the budget remains a work in progress, the council appeared to accept Hamel’s proposal.

Last year, councilors placed curbing drug trafficking and reducing substance abuse in the city high on their list of priorities.

Durgin gets the max for beating death of friend

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The man who punched and then kicked one of his house guests to death in May of 2011 will spend the next 3 1/2 to 7 years in New Hampshire State Prison. None of the sentence was reduced or deferred.

Jason Durgin, 38, was convicted in May of this year of the negligent homicide of Leo LaPierre. He was found not guilty of manslaughter by a jury that chose instead to find him guilty of second-degree assault.

N.H. Asst. Attorney Benjamin Agati said the two findings are actually the same charge so Durgin could only be sentenced for one — the second-degree assault because, said Agati, it was “reckless” while

the homicide was “negligent,” — or less severe in the eyes of the law.

“The other conviction still stands,” he said. “It’s there.”

Durgin was convicted after a trial that lasted abut eight days. An eye-witness to the assault testifed Durgin puched LaPierre once in the head and licked him twice while he was down. LaPierre was assisted outside the mobile home Durgin was renting off South Main Street and about 14 hours after the assault, a passerby found LaPierre’s dying body propped up against a fence at the edge of a small yard.

LaPierre died eight days later. He never regained consciousness.

Mass. fugitive found enjoying Bike Week in Laconia LACONIA — A Massachusetts man was denied bail and agreed to be extradited back to Essex County after being detained by local police following a tip from the Massachusetts State Police that he was in the city.

Polcie affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said Paul H. Silvera, 33, of Lawrence was wanted by Massachusetts on a felony warrant for a series of dangerous crimes including armed assault to murder, carrying a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Prosecutor Jim Sawyer said Massachusetts State Police sent Capt. Matt Canfield cell phone coordinates, a picture of Silvera and a description of a from preceding page allowable, Agati cited Durgin’s previous criminal record — which includes a 1999 guilty plea to second-degree assault for which he served a similar 3 1/2-to-7 year sentence — and nine separate guilty findings of simple assault, two guilty findings of criminal threatening, and four other misdemeanor convictions — all, according to Agati, “representative of a continual streak of violent behavior.”

In Durgin’s first conviction for second degree assault, Agati said the circumstances were the same — that a drunken Durgin punched and then kicked his first victim.

“This time it cost Leo his life,” Agati said, adding that Durgin did nothing to help him, chosing instead to “hide in his home.”

“This leave us with no other options except for the maximum sentence,” Agati said.

Arguing for a 2 1/2-to-5 year sentence was defense attorney Tim Landry, who continued to insist the two state’s witnesses’ testimonies were “contrasting if not conflicting.”

Landry also argued for a lower sentence because Durgin was unaware of LaPierre’s fragile health.

“Leo’s debilitated conditions are relevant to the amount of force required to injure him so severely,” Landry said, noting that key witness Gary Fields

bright green motorcycle he was likely driving. Lt. Richard Simmons found Silvera in the parking lot at Endicott Park (Weirs Beach) and took him into custody without incident.

According to a Carrie Monahan, the media relations person with the Essex County District Attorney’s Office. Silvera was convicted of the above crimes in March of 2004 and served most of a 6-to-9 year sentence in a Massachusetts State Prison.

She said, as best she can tell, he is wanted on a probation and/or a parole violation.

Sawyer said Silvera did not fight his pending extradition and expects the Massachusetts State Police will come and get him by Thursday.

testifed that LaPierre didn’t not appear injured when he left the house after being punched and kicked by Durgin.

He said Durgin’s actions against LaPierre were negligent but not malicious.

“Leo’s was Jason’s friend. He gave him a home.

They were kindred spirits dealing with alcoholism, on the verge of homelessness and living in poverty,” he said.

“I find it absolutely incredible the defendant should get a benefit because the victim was weak,” said Agati jumping to his feet and describing Jurgin’s assault on LaPierre as “sadistic and brutal.”

When Judge James O’Neill asked Durgin if he had anything to say, he replied, “No Sir.” After a brief recess, O’Neill told Durgin that his previous record plus this latest conviction means “he is a significant danger to this community.”

“You caused the death of a friend of yours who was weak,” said O’Neill before he handed down the maximum allowable sentence. He also ordered Durgin was to have no direct or indirect contact with any member of LaPierre’s family, the woman who testified against him, Tracy Hebert, and to pay $2,614 plus a 17-percent fee to the victim’s compensation fund.

Durgin was given 406 days credit for pretrial confinement.

Elks Lodge observes Flag Day on Sunday morning

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Laconia Elks Lodge #876 held its annual Flag Day Ceremony Sunday at the lodge building in Gilford.

Exalted Ruler Sandra Shene and Past Exalted Ruler Frank Mello led the ceremony at which members of the Gilford Police Department Color Guard, the Gilford Fire Department Color Guard, the Knights of Columbus and members of local Boy Scouts took part.

Shene said that the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks is the only organization in the country to have a special ritual for the country’s flag and

that hundreds of Elks Clubs across the country were taking part in similar ceremonies the same day.

Past Exalted Ruler Doti Acres gave a history of the American flag since it was first sewn by Betsy Ross in May of 1776 and recounted how it inspired the National Anthem after survived the shelling of Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the War of 1812.

Mello discussed the meaning of the American flag for the people of the United States and what it symbolizes about the values of the nation; liberty, opportunity and loyalty.

Norman Dionne, eldest member of the Elks Lodge, led the sinning of ‘’America the Beautiful’’ and was joined by those in attendance.

Nadal wins record 7th French Open tennis title PARIS (AP) — Rafael Nadal was worried.

A guy so unflinching, so nearly unbeatable, while sliding and grinding and pounding his way past opponent after opponent at the French Open, got a real case of nerves during the 18 hours he and Novak Djokovic waited for the restart of their raininterrupted final at Roland Garros.

Instead of focusing on how close he was to winning a record seventh French Open championship, Nadal grew increasingly wary of the other possible outcome: a loss in a fourth consecutive Grand Slam final against Djokovic, who was trying to become the first man since 1969 to collect four straight major titles.

When play was halted by showers on Sunday, Nadal was clinging to an ever-shrinking lead. It wasn’t until a few minutes before setting foot back on Court Philippe Chatrier, his favorite arena at his favorite tournament on his favorite surface, that Nadal set aside his

anxiety. Oh, did he. The King of Clay overwhelmed the No.1-ranked Djokovic for the 50 minutes and nine games they played Monday, wrapping up a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory that allowed Nadal to earn French Open trophy No. 7, breaking a tie with Bjorn Borg.

“You never know if you’re going to win another one,” said the second-ranked Nadal, who now owns 11 Grand Slam titles.

“I don’t know if I am the best or not,” he added. “I am not the right one to say that.”

Djokovic, for his part, had zero doubts. He worked his way back into the match with an eight-game run when it was pouring Sunday, but otherwise was outplayed, at the start and the finish.

“He’s definitely (the) best player in history ... on this surface,” said Djokovic, whose 27-match Grand Slam winning streak ended, “and results are showing that he’s one of the best ever.”

Dr. Felt has been placing and restoring implants since 1989, and he feels that this is one of the most rewarding areas of the profession (patients love the results!). He received his specialty certificate in periodontics and implants from NYU in 1989. After teaching for a year, he worked exclusively as a periodontist for 10 years until opening a general practice in New Hampshire in 2001. Our dental team has well over one hundred years of experience in the profession, and we take many hours of continuing education every year. For example, Dr. Felt recently completed a 400 hour program of orthodontic training in NYC. Our commitment to continuing education reflects our commitment to delivering the highest quality of care that is currently available in the profession. Have you had your teeth checked lately? Give us a call – you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to take good care of your teeth.

19th Annual Freedom Ride starts at Lowe’s parking lot at 6 p.m. Thursday MEREDITH — The 24th Anniversary of the Thursday evening POW/ MIA Vigil held in Hesky Park Meredith and the 19th Anniversary of the annual Freedom Ride will be held Thursday, June 14, rain or shine, at 7 p.m.

The ‘Ride To The Rock” as it has become known, has grown each year, along with the POW/MIA Awareness Vigil. The Vigil and Ride are simple vehicles used to bring awareness and focus to this ongoing issue according to Bob Jones, founder of the vigil. ‘’This day we have an American soldier being held POW in Afghanistan, Sgt Bowe Bergdhal who was captured June 2009. It is important that ‘everything’ that can be done on his behalf to bring him home alive is done. Policy

should not come before people. American service men and women are not disposable objects,’’ said Jones.

This year Governor John Lynch will be the guest speaker and the bridge that leads into Meredith will be dedicated as “POW/MIA Vigil-Freedom Ride Bridge”, as part of an awareness effort on behalf of the thousands that have stood the vigil over the years and thousands that have joined in the Freedom Ride.

There will be a flyover presented by the NH Air Guard. June 14 is also Flag day. Bikers will be lining up at Lowe’s parking lot in Gilford at 6 p.m. For more information check the Northeast POW/MIA web site..northeastpowmianetwork.org.

Mark Fenton to be featured at Planning Commission MEREDITH — The Lakes Region Planning Commission will feature Mark Fenton, an enthusiastic, and passionate advocate for non-motorized transportation, at its annual meeting on Monday, June 25 at 5:30 p.m. at Church Landing in Meredith.

Fenton is a frequent consultant on bicycle and pedestrian community plans, and recognized authority on public health issues and the need for community, environmental, and public-policy initiatives to encourage more walking, bicycling, and transit use. A graduate of MIT, a five-time member of the United States national race walking team, adjunct professor, and former editor-at-large/columnist for Walking Magazine, Fenton also hosted various PBS television programs on walking, including a 13-part series called “America’s Walking.” A prolific writer, he has authored several books, including the best-selling Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness.

Fenton says that while access to health care is important, the social and economic determinants of health – where people work, live, learn, and play – often play the strongest role. The more opportunities individuals have to make healthy choices, the

more likely they can live longer and healthier lives.

Given long-term demographic and economic trends for the Lakes Region, which show an increasingly older population, the new New Hampshire advantage may very well be communities and businesses that embrace the infrastructure and policies to promote productive and healthy lives for all. In general, healthier people are more economically productive, and the health of the country and local economy depend on it.

In a recent long-range study, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are predicting nearly half of all Americans will be obese in 20 years, which will contribute to $500 billion in health care costs.

These disheartening and disturbing trends are reversible. Simply telling people to exercise and eat well has not stemmed the rising tide of chronic disease and overweight. But designing communities so that physical activity and healthy eating are the norm is showing great promise..

LRPC’s annual meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m., and includes dinner, officer elections, awards, and Fenton’s presentation. For additional information and reservations, contact the LRPC at 279-8171 or lrpc@lakesrpc.org.

An association of 30 communities, the LRPC has active programs in land use and environmental planning, transportation, watershed protection, economic development, technical assistance, and information services.

Open Suitcase by Julie K. Gray (Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — A shelf of white knick-knacks against a white wall. A nail carefully centered above a headboard - with nothing on it. A lighted

window in the black night. These are some of the quiet, evocative images artist Julie K. Gray presents in her exhibit, “Life/Stilled” at The Studio, 84 Union Avenue in Laconia.

Through June these exquisitely composed photographs will give viewers a glimpse into a home and a life, and allow them to travel into their own memories and associations both silly and touching.

Through her careful use of light and composition, Gray elevates banal scenes that will resonate on some level with almost everyone. Melissa McCarthy, who organizes the exhibits at The Studio, says of Gray’s work, “There is something of every Meme’s house, Nana’s apartment, Auntie’s kitchen in the images - they are poignant, funny and ultimately a reflection of both life and mortality”. Gray herself says that the photographs, “...retain and articulate memory [as well as] bridge the gap of loss”.

On Saturday, June 9 from 6-8 p.m. the artist will be at The Studio for a reception that is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. The Studio is located at 84 Union Avenue in Laconia, on the second floor.

Regular hours are Wednesday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m, Saturday 10 a.m.-3 p.m., other times by chance or appointment. Call 603-455-8008 for more information.

Newly re-discovered medium of encaistic painting topic Ainsley Miller named of Lakes Region Art Association meeting June 18 LRCC’s top student in Business Management LACONIA — The Lakes Region Art Association will learn about Encaistic Painting at its June 18 meeting which gets underway at 7 p.m. at Woodside Building Conference Center at the Taylor Community, 435 Union Avenue, Laconia.

Well-known local artist and art educator Larry Frates will be demonstrating the ancient art of hot wax painting known as Encaustics. The demonstration will include examples of works created by modern artists, Kandinsky, Rivera, Jasper Johns, as well as the tools, techniques, and materials needed to create in this newly discovered but ancient medium.

The workshop includes an overview of materials, tools, and techniques specific to this newly rediscovered medium, which can be traced back to the Eqyptian Fayum mummy portraits, 100-300 AD. For additional information contact Gisela Langsten, first vice president, Lakes Region Art Association at 293-2702 or gila@metrocast.net.

Hard rockers Stone Temple Pilots roll into Meadowbrook this summer GILFORD — The Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion has added another rock show to its amazing 2012 season lineup. The Stone Temple Pilots will roll into town on Friday, August 31 to bring down the house with a rock show that will leave the audience begging for more.

Tickets for the show are now on sale and range from $34.75 to $76.25. To order, call (603) 293-4700 or log on to www.Meadowbrook.net.

Based out of San Diego, Stone Temple Pilots released their first album, Core, in 1992. Coming at the height of grunge, Core demonstrated a departure from the rock albums of the era. Lead singer, Weiland’s vocals, dripping with attitude, recalled the rock-star swagger of older groups like Guns N’ Roses and the Doors, and Dean DeLeo’s metal-tinged guitar riffs drew comparisons to the unapologetically accessible arena rock of the ‘70s.

Core sold an impressive 8 million

copies in the U.S. Purple, the band’s 1994 follow-up, sold 6 million copies in the U.S. featuring hits like “Vasoline” and “Interstate Love Song,” which each topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. Purple focused on hard rock but unlike Core, also made room for pop songs like “Still Remains” and the Led Zeppelin-style acoustic number “Pretty Penny.” By this point, Stone Temple Pilots were well on their way to becoming one of the decade’s most divisive bands.

To the delight of STP fans everywhere, the band reunited in 2008 and released their sixth studio album, Stone Temple Pilots in 2010. Over the last two decades, STP has earned an impressive amount of accolades including an eight times platinum debut album, 16 singles on the Billboard rock charts (six of which peaked at #1), a “Best Hard Rock Performance” Grammy in 1994, and the sale of nearly 40 million records worldwide before taking a break in 2002.

ASHLAND — Jim Gagne, the first New Hampshire native to climb Mount Everest, will speak on his adventures climbing “The Seven Summits”, the highest peaks of the seven continents, all eight of them, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 20, in the Ashland School Cafeteria.

Gagne began his climbing career hiking in the White Mountains, then moved on to technical rock and ice

climbing and eventually to mountaineering around the world.

A resident of Ashland, Jim works as a firefighter, paramedic and nurse, when he is not climbing.This interesting talk on his mountain experiences is sponsored by the Ashland Historical Society, and is free and open to the public.

Light refreshments will be served. The Ashland School is located on Education Drive, off School Street in Ashland.

by Chad Carpenter

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It used to be that people believed the answers were blowing in the wind.

Some believe that the answers are now trending on Twitter or YouTube. Just to be safe, check everywhere.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

When you share your honest appraisal of a situation, you do more good than you could possibly know. However, this is only the case if it’s your job to share the opinion or if you were asked to do so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The general consensus may be generally erroneous. But you’ll make a decision based on your gut response to what’s happening, unfazed as to the popularity of the choice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Not everyone wants to be famous. You’re proof of that now because you’d rather lock your information in a safe than put it out there for the whole world to electronically stumble upon.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to struggle against your desire. Instead, embrace it. It’s not a foreign entity visiting to annoy you.

Desire comes from your heart, and it has something to teach you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 12).

Your kindness will inspire tolerance in others. World peace may just start with you. In June, you’ll collect the tools that will liberate you in your professional life.

July brings a romantic connection that ignites your creativity. October is your chance to move or renovate. December brings the funny story you’ll be telling for years. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 22, 49 and 32.

the

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The day unfolds at an excited pace. And though the lively feeling is exhilarating, you also are determined to move slowly and steadily along so you can savor each task and stay on purpose.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today, it’s better to deal with people who are not like you, as homogeny robs you of perspective. Those who have had fewer opportunities will help you to be grateful for all the resources you have.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you dare to follow your creative spirit, it will lead you to the most unlikely places.

You’re not the only one developing a fascination for what is novel, oddball or just plain weird.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success is not a meal to be gobbled up alone. It’s a banquet to be savored among guests. Invite others to share in the bounty you’ve acquired, because more is on the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can afford to be somewhat whimsical with your choices, and you’ll enjoy the day a whole lot more if you are! Take a gamble. Win or lose, it won’t be held against you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Deal with life’s actual events instead of stressing about the possible scenarios that might happen. All you can do now is handle today’s work and trust in the spirit of goodness that guides your tomorrows.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You cherish your friendships not only in your heart, but also through your deeds.

Stay on the lookout for ways to lift and empower your loved ones, because prime opportunities and ideas will cross your path.

Meredith Conservation Commission honoring Dr. Robert Hamlin MEREDITH — Members of the Meredith Conservation Commission were saddened to learn recently that former Meredith resident Dr. Robert Hamlin passed away on June 1.

Dr. Hamlin was the moving force behind the permanent preservation of the Hamlin Recreation and Conservation Area, 320 beautiful acres of forestland and lakeshore located on Chemung Road in Meredith.

Thanks to Dr. Hamlin’s initiative, the Town of Meredith has owned this land since the late 1970’s.

It was the first land to be designated a Town Forest

by Meredith voters. So that residents and visitors may enjoy this land the way Dr. Hamlin intended, the Meredith Conservation Commission has built an extensive hiking trail system that accesses all

the scenic highlights of this park. These trails connect with the trails on the abutting Frances Eames Wildlife Area and Barbara Smyth Conservation Easement, the three parcels totaling more than 700 acres of unfragmented green space. A map of these trails has been posted on the Town of Meredith’s website under “Conservation Commission” (www. meredithnh.org).

The acquisition of the Hamlin Recreation and Conservation Area was funded in part by a $170,000 grant from the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), which was half the appraised value of the property. Dr. Hamlin was the lead author of this grant proposal. The grant required a 50% local match. Dr. Hamlin provided that match by donating the balance of the property to the Town.

LACONIA — Laconia Parks & Recreation will be hosting tennis lessons this summer. The lessons will be taught by Gilford Hills Sports Club Pros.

This class is for beginners and will run from July 9 through August 1. The times will be 9-10 a.m. on

Mondays and Wednesdays for the low price of $60 for this time period. There is a minimum of 16 for this class to run, so those who are interested should sign up now. To register call 524-5046 to get a form.

Adult: A Walk Back in Time: The Secrets of Cellar Holes with Adair Mulligan

Thursday, June 28 @ 7:00 Laconia Rotary Hall with author and environmental biologist, Adair Mulligan. Northern New England is full of reminders of past lives – stone walls, old foundations, a century-old lilac struggling to survive as the forest reclaims a once-sunny dooryard.

In this program, we will explore the rich story behind such abandoned places, and see how one town has set out to create an inventory of its cellar holes, piecing together the clues left behind on the landscape.

Such a project can help landowners know what to do if they have such archeological sites on their land, and help stimulate interest in not only a town’s past but its future. This program will be held in Laconia Public Library’s Rotary Hall and is free and open to all.

Hours: Monday - Thursday 9am - 8pm • Friday 9am - 6pm Saturday 9am - 4pm For more information, call 524-4775.

We have wireless ... inside & out!!

Thus the acquisition of this conservation area cost Meredith taxpayers virtually nothing.

Dr. Hamlin pieced together nine different parcels of land to create the 320 acres. This conservation area includes several groves of ancient trees, two high view ledges, and 2000 feet of undeveloped frontage on Lake Wicwas. The terms of Dr. Hamlin’s land gift to the Town, as stated in the covenants he wrote, require that it be maintained in its undeveloped state in perpetuity. 250 years from now, this land will still be available for recreational use as Dr. Hamlin envisioned.

The Hamlin family has requested that those wishing to honor Dr. Hamlin’s memory make donations to the Meredith Conservation Commission’s Hamlin Memorial Fund. These donations will be used to help maintain the Hamlin Conservation Area.

Checks should be made payable to the Meredith Conservation Commission, with “Hamlin Conservation Area” written on the memo or subject line. These checks should be sent to Meredith Conservation Commission, Town of Meredith, 41 Main Street, Meredith NH 03253. The Meredith Conservation Commission is an entity of the municipality of Meredith. Contributions to municipalities are tax deductible.

Funds are needed to help maintain this recreation and conservation area. Last winter, one of the bridges collapsed. This was replaced by a new bridge in May. The other four bridges built at the same time might not have much life expectancy left.

The Conservation Commission is planning to install a highly innovative self-interpreting trail in the Hamlin Conservation Area in the forthcoming months. Hikers whose smart phones have QR code apps will be able to access interpretive data at many designated locations by scanning barcodes mounted on site. Watch for announcements regarding the opening of this self-guiding trail.

Justin Bieber fans throng to Mexico City plaza MEXICO CITY (AP) — Thousands of school-skipping “tween” girls and their parents streamed into Mexico City’s historic main plaza on Monday, hoping to get the best spots for a free concert hours later by teen superstar Justin Bieber that is expected to draw 200,000 people.

The gray and reddish stones of the plaza were covered in a sea of purple as the mainly 10 to 14-yearold crowd paid homage to what is reported to be Bieber’s favorite color.

Under a hot sun, girls trundled through security checkpoints with hats and umbrellas, staking claim to some of the roughly 80,000 spots allocated in the plaza itself. Another 120,000 or more are expected to watch on giant screens erected on nearby streets.

Fernanda Gutierrez Aparicio, 13, a seventh grader at a local middle school, said she had spent a week camping out with her mother on a nearby street in hopes of being among the first to enter. She said they returned home only to bathe and look after Fernanda’s 15-yearold sister, who recently underwent an operation.

But her mother, Adriana Martinez, 41, gave up on trying to get her daughter into the front rows because of the press of other fans.

“I was really disappointed. When we got up front, people were crushing you, not letting you breathe,” Martinez said. Even long hours before the concert, “People were jostling each other and it got to the point that you couldn’t move.”

To Fernanda, it was all worth it — even missing the week of classes leading up to the two-hour concert that was to open with Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen and Mexican rockers “3BallMTY.” “I told my teacher that I wasn’t going to school and not to expect me in class for a few days,” Fernanda said, “because I was going to be out supporting my idol.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I know that anorexia is not uncommon in teenage girls, but I never thought I would see the signs in my best friend. “Emmy” always complains about the way she looks and is constantly focused on her weight. She makes sure everyone else eats, but I rarely see her put a bite in her mouth.

She denies that she has a problem, but all her clothes are baggy, and you can see her bones sticking out.

Everyone, even people who just met her, ask me if she is anorexic. Emmy is six inches taller than I am and weighs less -- and my doctor says I am underweight. Last month alone, she dropped 20 pounds.

How can I help her? I want to talk to her mom, but I don’t know how to bring it up. -- Not that Skinny Dear Not: Emmy is lucky to have you as a friend. Too many teenagers with eating disorders are left alone until the problem becomes life threatening. It’s also possible that something else is going on with Emmy, but the sooner this is addressed, the sooner she can be helped.

First talk to Emmy and urge her to discuss this with her parents. If nothing changes, you can speak to her mom, saying, “I’m worried about Emmy. She doesn’t seem to be eating normally, and she’s lost a lot of weight.” You also can alert your own parents, and when school resumes, talk to the school nurse or counselor and urge Emmy to do so, as well.

And please contact the National Association of Anorexia and Associated Disorders (anad.org) for more information.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend of five years recently had a heart attack and died immediately. I am so distraught. He was my life and my best friend. He lived in a different town, and I didn’t want to uproot my children, so we never moved in together. This was a source of a great many arguments.

The problem is, I cheated on him with a friend of ours. He

never knew. I cheated because I was lonely and felt that he really didn’t want me. But I loved him with all of my heart. The affair always made me feel guilty, but since he died, the guilt has become overwhelming.

I know I messed up. I never wanted to hurt him. I keep thinking that he now knows everything, and I can’t take it.

Do you think that in the afterlife you find out things like this?

-- Lost My Love Dear Lost: If you believe in an afterlife where loved ones watch over us, then you surely believe it is a place of forgiveness. Please consider grief counseling. It will help you come to terms with your loss and get past your guilt so you can move forward. Your doctor or local hospice organization can refer you.

Dear Annie: This is for “Illinois Neighbor,” who complained that a nosy neighbor keeps reporting her husband to the police because he parks his trailer so that one tire often rests on the dirt. This violates a city ordinance. She said they can’t afford to enlarge the driveway.

I’m not sure how much a truckload of gravel costs in Illinois, but in my area, I bought a small load (half a yard) for $15. They should put a two-foot-wide strip of gravel beside the driveway, so the vehicle wheels rest on it. That gravel would then be considered part of the driveway. It’s not a job that requires an impossibly strong man, either. I’m a female in my 70s, and I did it. -- Old NW Rocker Dear Rocker: Our thanks to all the readers who recommended adding gravel or rocks to the area adjacent to the driveway so that the wheel doesn’t rest on the dirt. If this solves the legal problem, it should also solve the neighbor problem.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, June 12, 2012— Page 31

Laconia Rotary Club completes Carey House Homeless Shelter garden project LACONIA — The Laconia Rotary Club has completed its Carey House Homeless Shelter Project.

Last fall club members constructed four raised vegetable gardens on the lawn area behind the shelter.

Last week club members returned to fill the gardens with tomato plants, cucumbers, peppers, onions, zucchini, squash and green beans.

With the assistance of expert gardener Kathy O’Conner of Lowe’s Gilford and Lowe’s generous donation of vegetable plants, they have provided the residence of the shelter an opportunity to learn about gardening.

In addition these four vegetable beds should yield enough fresh vegetables for a family of six, with plenty of extra vegetables to give to their neighbors. Laconia Rotary Club meets every Thursday for lunch meetings at the Belknap Mill in Downtown Laconia and is actively seeking new members.
