Mayor of Dover is pick for city manager here By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

NOW IN LACONIA!!

LaCOnIa, n.h.

LACONIA — The City Council has chosen Scott Myers, who is serving his fourth term as mayor of Dover, as city manager.

Myers has accepted a conditional agreement from the council and will be offered a formal employment contract pending the successful completion of a background check. The council is scheduled to formally make the appointment at a special meeting on Thursday, June 30.

“I’m pleased the council chose me for the

position,” Myers said yesterday. “There are similarities between Dover and Laconia in the character of the two communities and their quality of life. I am looking forward to the job.”

Selected from what Mayor Mike Seymour and several city councilors Dover Mayor Scott Myers

described as a strong field of candidates, Myers does not fit the traditional profile of a city manager. He has not worked as a town or city administrator. Instead, his experience of municipal government consists of his eight years as mayor, which was preceded by eight years as chairman of the Dover Economic Development Corporation.

Seymour said that after interviewing five candidates, culled from a field of 85 by Municipal Resources, Inc. of Meredith, the councilors agreed all were well qualified for see MyErs page 10

MOULTONBOROUGH — Wendy Wallace and her family live in a quiet corner of town, on a gravel road that seems to see more turkeys than automotive traffic. Their life there has been less than pacific, though, as the family has endured two chapters where Wendy’s life was gravely threatened by disease.

Legislature expands N.H. use of deadly force rights

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire lawmakers on Wednesday approved a broad expansion of the state’s deadly force law, saying that residents can kill in selfdefense anyplace they have a right to be in.

The current law allows people to use deadly force in selfdefense in their homes or in public to defend others, but in the latter case only if they attempt to retreat first.

Supporters of the bill in the Republican-majority Legislature argue the new rules would give citizens a right to stand their ground when threatened.

“I should not be required to turn my back to a would-be rapist or robber on my way to stores,” said Jennifer Coffey, a House Republican from Andover.

The bill also grants civil immunity to using force against assailants under some circumstances and repeals a minimum sentencing requirement for felony convictions that include possession, use or attempted use of a firearm. The bill also says brandishing a weapon isn’t considered deadly see FORCE page 12

Obama says 30k troops will leave Afghanistan by next summer WASHINGTON (AP) — Hailing the beginning of the end of a devastating war, President Barack Obama announced Wednesday night he was pulling home 33,000 troops from Afghanistan by next summer, withdrawing the “surge” of forces he sent in to rescue a flailing effort. Said Obama to a country eager for an exit: “The tide of war is receding.”

A total of 10,000 troops will leave the war zone by the end of this year — fulfilling Obama’s promise — and more than 20,000 additional forces will leave by the summer of 2012, shortly before the president will go before voters in search of a second term.

Still, almost 70,000 U.S. troops will remain in an unstable country, fighting in a war bound to see more Americans killed.

Obama said they will leave at a steady pace, but the U.S. combat mission is not expected to end until December 2014 — and even then, a sizable and enduring contingent may remain in a different role.

Obama’s announcement from the White House came in a perilous political environment, with Americans soured on the war and the economy, many members of Congress pushing him to get troops home even faster, and his Republican presidential rivals taking shots at his leadership

at every chance. Conceding the economic strain of waging war at a time of rising debt and fiscal constraint, Obama said it was time for America “to focus on nation building here at home.”

The withdrawal is supported by the bold bottom-line claims of his security team: Afghanistan, training ground for the Sept.

11, 2001, attacks on America, is no longer a launching pad for exporting terrorism and hasn’t been for years. Yet the White House insists the U.S. must maintain a strong fighting force in Afghanistan for now to keep the country from slipping back into a haven for al-Qaida terrorists.

Non-partisan CBO warns of looming U.S. debt crisis without policy changes WASHINGTON (AP) — The rapidly growing national debt could soon spark a European-style crisis unless Congress moves forcefully, the Congressional Budget Office warned Wednesday in a study that underscored the stakes for Vice President Joe Biden and negotiators working on a sweeping plan to reduce red ink.

Republicans seized on the report to renew their push to reduce costs in federal benefit programs such as Medicare.

The report said the national debt, now $14.3 trillion, is on pace to equal the annual

size of the economy within a decade. It warned of a possible “sudden fiscal crisis” if it is left unchecked, with investors losing faith in the U.S. government’s ability to manage its fiscal affairs.

The study reverberated throughout the Capitol as Biden and senior lawmakers spent several hours behind closed doors.

The talks are aimed at outlining about $2 trillion in deficit cuts over the next decade, part of an attempt to generate enough support in Congress to allow the Treasury to take on new borrowing.

Biden made no comment as he departed, except to say the group would meet again on Thursday and probably Friday as well.

President Barack Obama plans to meet with House Democratic leaders Thursday to discuss the status of the ongoing talks.

The meeting comes as Democrats want the president to rule out Medicare benefit cuts as part of any budget deal.

CBO, the non-partisan agency that calculates the cost and economic impact of legislation and government policy, says see DEBT page 13

CONCORD (AP) — Republican lawmakers flexed their conservative might Wednesday, overrode Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s objections and reinstated a requirement for pregnant girls seeking abortions to tell their parents or a judge first.

Lynch had vetoed the bill as unclear

and too narrow. The House voted 266-102 to override followed by a 17-7 vote in the Senate. The bill becomes law Jan. 1.

Bill supporters argued Lynch’s objections were smoke screens and that the bill dealt with the problems he outlined in his veto message.

“If you believe children need parents involved in monumental life decisions, support this bill,” said state Rep. Brandon Giuda, R-Chichester.

Opponents said children from good families were not the issue. They said children see ABORTION page 12

No amount of government spending can turn clock back Two years ago, in June 2009, the American economy emerged from recession, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. But as this week’s Economist noted, with typical British understatement, “The recovery has been a disappointment.”

And maybe not a recovery for long.

Robert Shiller, the economist who first identified the housing bubble, said last week that we may be headed for recession again. “Whether we call it a double dip or not,” he told Reuters, “there is a risk.”

His Case-Shiller housing price index indicated that home prices in March slumped to levels not seen since March 2003, and Shiller says they may keep falling for 20 years.

As I look back on these years of economic tumult, I sometimes think of an off-the-record session arranged by National Review with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson back in the fall of 2007. I asked Paulson when the government was going to change the SEC regulation under which the credit-rating agencies were paid by the sellers rather than the buyers of securities. That arrangement gave the credit agencies an incentive to give high ratings to the mortgage-backed securities that later turned sour.

Oh, we’ll get to that, Paulson said, when we get through the rough stuff we face right now. Of course, he had not yet gotten to the stuff that was so rough that, as he wrote in his memoir, he had to leave meetings to throw up.

With the benefit of hindsight, it seems that our leaders, in both the Bush and the Obama administrations, responded to crises and challenges all too often with measures that attempted to revive the old prefinancial crisis economy rather than with policies that would allow a new economy to grow.

As in Paulson’s comment, the thinking seems to have been that if we can just get things back in place, then we can attack the underlying problems.

Such was the theory behind the now seemingly puny stimulus package agreed to by George W. Bush and Democratic congressional leaders in early 2008. And behind the Federal Reserve’s rescue package for Bear Stearns in March 2008.

It was behind the argument that Paulson used to persuade Congress to pass the $700-billion TARP package in October 2008. He said he’d use

the money to buy toxic mortgagebacked securities from the banks, but then decided to lend the banks tranches of $25-billion, instead.

The Obama Democrats’ February 2009 stimulus package doled out one-third of its $787-billion to state and local governments so that public-sector employees (and union members) would not lose their jobs, as so many private-sector employees were. That worked for a while but did not prevent painful cuts and layoffs later.

Then there were the various mortgage forbearance programs, designed to prevent foreclosures.

Precious few homeowners took advantage of them, and many who did ended up losing their houses anyway. And of course there was cash for clunkers, which increased car sales in the summer only to see them decline in the fall. Hundreds of millions were spent, but with no permanent effect except to increase used-car prices because clunkers traded in had to be junked.

Decision-makers have responded as if they were facing liquidity crises (we don’t have enough cash to pay off debts immediately) instead of solvency crises (we will never be able to pay off these debts). Too often pain has not been prevented, but just postponed — and prolonged.

In retrospect, much of the pain could not be avoided. As economist Tyler Cowen has put it, we were not as rich as we thought we were. Housing bubble prices did not turn out to be real wealth, unless you sold out at the peak and moved to a cave.

Trying to put everyone back in the position they once thought they were in simply won’t work. But it does sound attractive politically.

People can remember what life was like in the past.

We don’t, however, know what it will be like in the future. Republicans want less government spending and more leeway for entrepreneurs to create new businesses and jobs.

No one knows what innovative products and services will emerge.

That’s the beauty of free enterprise, but it also makes it a hard sell politically — unless voters have figured out no amount of government spending is going to restore the old status quo.

We need a full-care veterans’ hospital here in New Hampshire To the editor, What the veterans of The State of New Hampshire really need is their own full-care medical facility in the state. Yes, that’s right folks, a veterans’ hospital right here in the heart of New Hampshire to care for the special medical needs of all the men and women who

so much for all of us.

And considering that New Hampshire is one of the 13 original colonies, I think it’s damn shame and an insult to all veterans and military personnel that we have to travel out of state for the most basic of medical care — because of “red tape”.

LETTERS A small tax hike is justified to preserve jobs & level of services To the editor, Because I have received some phone calls regarding the possibility of raising the tax rate and understanding where they are coming from, I would like to take this opportunity to present the scenario the council is facing and will be sending a copy of this to the papers as well, so that all of the public will hear the facts.

First, I know the hardships everyone is going through. I know the cost of living is rising even though the government says differently, and that is because they take food and fuel out of the equation. Why? Because then the news sounds better although each and everyone of us know when we go to the store, the gas station, or our oil companies, prices have skyrocketed, and at the same time, salaries remain frozen or cut. Benefits are disappearing for you a well. Medical insurance has increased. Your property has decreased in value, rents are high, and you can’t buy a house.

The City Council knows this and they too share in these same circumstances. That is why when we first set out to work on the budget, it was our hope and determination to keep the tax rate at the same level as last year and we extracted cuts from every department.

We cut and we cut, and employees wages were frozen for the second year.

Then, along came the state with a determination to balance their budget by any means, cutting and slashing programs that will do harm to those enrolled in them, downshifting costs to the city for pension payments they were supposed to make, slashing compensation to the hospitals for treatment of noninsured patients, and finally taxing the hospital 5.5-percent tax on the monies they do receive.

They have slashed the transportation budget so less roads and bridges will be maintained. This will cause more layoffs in the private sector. The state’s revenues are as usual well below projections and this will only

mean more severe measures, and they will be passed down to the cities to absorb. Health insurance rates have risen 18-percent this year alone and the bill for health insurance for the city side — not including the school budget — is 3.1-million dollars.

Laconia’s revenues are already affected by a loss in boat registrations because of the state, and now a new law passed to help auto dealers by allowing them to register new automobiles, not the cities. Eventually, this will cost the city. New development is at a new low, small businesses are rapidly closing. Foreclosures continue and more taxpayers are in default.

The situation is really bad but the city is trying to initiate new sources of revenue i.e. impact fees, and increasing rates for private haulers to the transfer station. It costs the city $82.60 per ton for trash while private haulers are paying from $5 to $30 per ton to the city. Our plan is to increase their rates over a period of time until they are paying the same rate as it costs the city. We are constantly looking at new health plan options and hope to come up with one that will save the city substantial money. Recently the school’s three unions negotiated new programs in health care and the schools will realize $600,000 in savings in the next fiscal year. All these things will not be realized in immediate relief, so we are still faced with paying for city obligations and services with what we have.

So, if the tax rate should have to go up, say, 20 cents a thousand, a home appraised at $200,000, this would amount to $40 more a year. $40 to save police, fire, and other city employees’ jobs and still provide all the services and infrastructure needs. It is reasonable.

If we can find what we need elsewhere, you can be sure we will, but once again we are all in this together and we all have to do our part and more in order to survive.

LETTERS Kudos to young women who design & execute Gilford Rec programs To the editor, As many residents of Gilford may already know, the Gilford Parks and Recreation Department offers several programs throughout the school year for pre-school children. Two of these programs are offered weekly for a six week duration, each class being one hour and 15 minutes in length. Each program is offered for a very nominal fee.

The first program is entitled “Junior Picasso”, which is designed to introduce the children to master artists and their techniques; a different artist is discussed each week. The second program, entitled “Junior Explorer”, exposes the youngsters to different countries and cultures, including history, language and foods of these various countries. Both of these programs offer entertaining activities, such as related crafts and even snacks pertinent to each week’s program.

My impression as a grandmother of a five-year-old who has participated in both programs recently is that our community is extremely fortunate to have such programs. Kudos go out to Kristin Jarvi and Tracie Bettez, the two young women employed by Parks & Rec who not only co-teach these classes, but they created and designed the curriculum and the activities involved, as well. These two dedicated and creative individuals have proven that learning, especially for this age group, can be valuable and also so much fun. Thank you, Tracie and Kristin, for your extraordinary insight and approach in developing such a worthwhile contribution to the children of our community. Your positive attitude and love of children are so obvious!

I held vision of those women in my mind & tears filled my eyes To the editor, For the 88th year, another Laconia Bike Week has come and gone. I have witnessed this event for many of those years and must admit they have become somewhat predictable. There hasn’t been a single sight that has caused me to pause in a great many years, that is, until last Friday afternoon.

We were on our way to the grocery store with our out-of-town guests, driving on Union Ave. As we approached McDonald’s, I spotted a big, bright, white bus belonging to the Belknap County Nursing Home. On the sidewalk in front of the bus were a group of lovely ladies, wheelchair bound, enjoying their lunch and the scenery whizzing by. My husband couldn’t help himself — he honked and to our joy our surprise,

without hesitation, ALL of those beautiful ladies raised their hands and waved in unison, smiling and laughing like teenagers. We all giggled. I turned in my seat to hold that vision in my mind, my eyes filled with tears.

I thought about that scene the remainder of the weekend, telling anyone I could. I know that I will never forget it. I feel compelled to publicly thank the Belknap County Nursing Home for not only making my weekend but for giving those beautiful women an afternoon of fun.

Kudos to the Belknap County Nursing Home for recognizing that all of us, no matter the age, deserve an afternoon of just pure fun.

Young maple trees on the District Court lawn should be replaced To the editor, I’m sure we all have noticed the wonderful work that has been done to improve and modernize the Laconia District Court House, formerly the old Laconia High School, on Court Street.

The ground work is what I would like to focus on. The small shrubs in the front look great. The landscape business also planted several young adult maple trees last fall. Most of them took well and look good. Four of the maples had a hard time this winter, and several of the branches and main stems, did not come back. To my horror, I saw the workmen cut the main stems and trim back the major

limbs all the way back to the trunk of the trees. Now, I’m not an authority on trees, however I do know that these trees will never grow correctly. They look horrible, and are the four front trees on the lawn.

I don’t know what we paid for these trees, but I would ask the landscaping business to replace these, to match the nice young full maples we have now.

I would think they would want to be proud of their work and put their best work out there for everyone to see.

The next time you drive by the District Court, take a look.

Buy an American-made U.S. flag at any hardware store & fly it To the editor, I write this on Flag Day 2011. I congratulate and support Laconia’s Mal Murray on his letter about the dearth of American flags displayed by Laconia businesses.

This neglect is certainly no confined to Laconia but there is a quick-fix.

American-made U.S. flags are available at Walmart and every hardware store I’ve ever visited for under, or about $20, with everything you need

to display on a building. Installation is easy.

The same thing applies to homes.

I display two U.S. flags outside the apartment side of my residence.

There’s little reason that others cannot display one — business or residence.

This is our country.

sector in Gilford. This is 2009 data, so I have to believe it is more like 12-percent now. You see many in the public sector, especially the Gilford SAU, get yearly increases while the private sector does not.

People need to understand, THE PRIVATE SECTOR MUST BE ON THE TOP OF THE ECONOMIC FOOD CHAIN or our system will break down. The money flows from the private sector to the public sector, but when the public sector starts to take more than private sector can reasonably produce, we have a very big serious problem. This is what we are seeing. The laws that we have here in the State of New Hampshire and in our country overall inherently favors the status quo. That status quo is the ability of the public sector to just keep spending and thus the taxes just keep going up. This must stop.

The people of the Town of Gilford are trying in vein to convince the public sector, especially the SAU, to stop taking more and more every year. In fact they need to start taking less. The private sector needs to catch up and we can’t do that if the public sector does not put on the breaks and start to DECREASE spending. The private sector has managed to do more with less and now the public sector must do the same. The Gilford School Board should act immediately to convince the voters that they can indeed follow the lead of the private sector and do more with less.

To the editor, It is perfectly legal for me to shoot myself in the foot. It is just not a good idea.

The Gilford School Board may find that it is perfectly legal to do all sorts of things, but it just might not be a good idea. The voters want to streamline the administrative portion of the Gilford SAU. One suggestion, that was voted on and passed by the voters this March, was to eliminate the highpaying superintendent position. In the private sector when revenues are down, the management staff is flattened and employees have to take on more duties. Why can’t the public sector do this?

From 2000 to 2010 the Gilford SAU budget has increased by a whopping 69-percent while the school population has dropped by over 300 students.

In addition the scores for the school have dropped. It appears that the Gilford SAU performance is inversely proportional to the money they are spending. The harsh reality of the situation is that the home assessments are dropping and thus revenue should decrease but the Gilford public sector just can’t face the reality of the situation so they just keep on spending (or commonly described as “investing”).

Here on Governors Island we had another waterfront home sale 15-percent below ASSESSED value. The end is not near, it is here.

The public sector in the Town of Gilford, according to 2009 State of New Hampshire data (http://www. nh.gov/nhes/elmi/htmlprofiles/gilford. html), earned 6-percent more (average weekly salary) than the private

Adam Smith and Garrett Shore of Boy Scout Troop 68 pack grocery bags for the Got Lunch!’ program under the watchful eye of Kay Partridge. The program provides healthy foods over the summer months to more than 280 children in Laconia. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

LUNCH from page one kids city wide. I asked myself what do these kids eat in the summer time?

A lot of them must be going hungry and that’s unacceptable,’’ said Walker, who has been involved in many community activities including the WOW trail, Congregational Church and Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice since settling in the city.

Walker started looking for ways to help those kids and was referred to Better Together, a Lakes Region program dedicated to reviving the values of a caring community.

He has worked closely with Better Together and with Rev. Paula Gile, associate minister of the First Congregational Church of Laconia, who has had experience running a similar but much smaller program in Col-

chester, Vt., before coming to Laconia last December.

Since then the program has partnered with Freihofer’s Bakery, Vista Foods, Salvation Army, the NH Food Bank, The Laconia Daily Sun and the city school system, whose food service director, Tim Goossens, helps with purchases.

“I’m astounded by the energy and enthusiasm of the people who put this together. It’s a huge undertaking,’’ said Laconia Mayor Michael Seymour as he spoke to a group which had assembled Wednesday morning in the basement of the Congregational Church to fill the grocery bags which would be delivered around the city.

The bag of groceries each contain a loaf of whole wheat bread, fresh fruits, like apples and bananas, vegetables, and ingredients to make sandwiches, such as peanut butter and jelly this week and will have canned tuna, chicken or turkey and mayonnaise next week.

Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin said “the electricity that became Got Lunch! was amazing,’’ adding that it shows the power of a small group of people to bring about change.

Walker said that in all 160 families with 283 children have signed up for the program and that 39 of the families chose to pick up their food supply at the church on Sunday.

Rev. Gile says it costs $110 to feed a child lunch all summer long and that the program has raised $23,000 of it’s $33,000 goal. Contributions have come from the WLNH Children’s Auction, Laconia

Savings Bank as well as other businesses and individuals.

She said that local restaurants raised a substantial sum with a week-long “Eat Out for Got Lunch!” promotion and that the Laconia Muskrats donated $350 from their Father’s Day game last Sunday.

A Father’s Day breakfast at the Congregational Church raised $700 according to Rev. Gile, who said that those attending were urged to take dad to the Muskrats game that evening.

“We’ve got a lot of youth involved. Graphic arts students at Laconia High School created some very colorful and creative posters to let people know about the program. It’s a wonderful opportunity for people to reach out and work together. Some of the kids helping pack the food baskets are from families which will be receiving them,’’ said Rev. Gile.

She said that the community response has been heartwarming and shows that there is a deep reservoir of caring in Laconia which comes to the forefront during difficult times.

WENDY from page one on Wednesday, she said her survival and recovery were possible thanks to the love of her husband and family, her optimism and her faith.

Wendy, 48, and Michael Wallace, 45, met in California, where he was serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and she was a college student. They were married 21 years ago and had their first child, Michael Jr., who earlier this month graduated from Moultonborough Academy, while they were still living on the West Coast. They now have three children and have settled in Michael’s native Moultonborough in a home they built on Sheridan Road.

In 1999 came the family’s first scare when Wendy was diagnosed with breast cancer, a disease she survived and one which saw her lean on her faith. All three of their children were younger than 10 at the time. Wendy recalled that she had a certainty that the chemotherapy would work. “I just knew that God was running the program. All the doubt and fear went away.” She would draw on this faith again, in a much more harrowing ordeal 12 years later.

On April 1 of this year, Wendy noticed an unusual swelling of her upper leg, near her left hip. A day later and she had developed a fever so great she had trouble walking more than a few steps. Upon her husband’s insistence, she agreed to go to the hospital. However, by the time they had reached the Meredith, Wendy was having trouble breathing and they pulled over to call an ambulance. It turned out that she was closer to death than either of them could have known.

What they didn’t know was that she had contracted a very rare bacterial infection which resulted in a condition known as necrotizing faciitis. The infection was flushing her body with toxins, which created the fever and flu-like symptoms and which, in its advanced state, had caused her kidneys to shut down.

It was Saturday night, April 2, that Michael and Wendy went to Lakes Region General Hospital. The next morning she was flown by helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, where doctors quickly removed the infected area of her leg and told Michael that her prognosis was grim. He spent the next few days in prayer and hoping for a signal that Wendy, who was now in an induced state of unconsciousness, would survive.

“On Tuesday, the doctors said ‘we’re surprised she’s still alive,’” Michael recounted. He responded to their predictions, “You guys did what you can do, God will take it from here.” His faith was rewarded, although the trial was far from over.

Because her kidneys had stopped functioning, the tissue of her extremeties had been badly damaged.

Gangrenous, they had to be removed if she was to live. Wendy recalled that she was brought to consciousness and asked for permission to remove her hands and feet. “What was my choice? Be a mom or go meet the Lord?” She recalled looking down and seeing her foot, black. “Get it off, save my life,” she told the nurses. “I need to go home.”

Wendy spent most of April on life support. She was unconscious for three weeks and on dialysis for five see next page

Nashua woman falls 60-feet to the bottom of waterfall in Dixville Notch DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — A Nashua woman is hospitalized in serious condition after falling about 60 feet down a cliff to the bottom of a waterfall in Dixville Notch in northern New Hampshire.

Fish and Game officials say Jennifer L. Tate was hiking with friends on Wednesday when she left them to take a photograph of Cascade Falls. She told rescuers the ground gave way at the edge and she

fell down the cliff.

Fire and Rescue crews climbed to the top of the waterfalls and repelled down to Tate, who was conscious at the bottom of the falls. Details on where she landed were not available Wednesday.

She was brought up the cliff face and taken to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon.

Officials say Tate had broken bones, lacerations and chest pain.

from preceding page weeks. On May 13, she was transferred to HealthSouth in Concord for physical therapy, for her body to recover from the illness and surgeries and for her to prepare for life without hands and feet.

Despite the situation that she found herself in, Michael said Wendy displayed an unwaveringly optimistic attitude that made her a staff favorite at each facility. “She had that from the time she became conscious,” he said.

“What good does it do to be gloomy?” Wendy said.

“If I ever went down that path of sorrow or negativity, I’d still be in the hospital right now.” Instead of focusing on the loss of her limbs, she said she concentrated on what she could do to be home with her family. She got a taste of that when she was released for a day to attend Michael, Jr.’s high school graduation on June 11.

When she returned to the rehabilitation facility, her caretakers said she might be able to return home by June 24, if everything went well. “I kept saying, no, I’m going to beat that date, by golly.” She was right. Her family welcomed her home on Friday, June 18.

Despite her near death, Wendy’s kidneys and other critical systems made a full recovery. The Wallaces have also been the beneficiaries of support from support from their church, organizations they are involved with such as Women Inspiring Women and the Civil Air Patrol and the community at large.

Through cooperative efforts that donated labor, materials or funding, they now have a ramp to their front door so that Wendy can access her home and a bathroom that she can use.

Michael noted that their family, like so many others, was in the practice of lending a hand when neighbors were in need. “When you’re on the receiving end of it... it’s overwhelming,” he said.

A fund for Wendy Wallace was established at Meredith Village Savings Bank. The family has insurance to cover 80-percent of the costs and doesn’t know yet what the bills will total, but considering

the intensity of care she required it’s a good bet that even their fraction will be staggering. Ongoing costs are also unkown, as she learns what tools are necessary for her to resume her role as mother and her home-based business.

Wendy has set herself some goals. She loved cooking and wants to figure out how to do that again. She also wants to drive and be fitted with prosthetic legs.

By Thanksgiving, she intends to be walking again.

There are some people that can’t be kept down.

“We’re given this life, you can’t take it for granted.

There’s bumps in the road, you can either focus on bad things in life or you can face the bumps with a positive attitude and get over yourself. I need to be a role model for my children,” she said.

“I don’t think you give up. I live with a never-giveup attitude. Failure’s not an option, let’s get legs on and get out there, give back to the people that have given so much to us.”

MYERS from page one fied for the position, but chose two for closer scrutiny before finally selecting Myers. “The two finalists,” he said, “were not one and two so much as one and one-A. It was that close.”

“The council found that Scott Myers embodied the character, knowledge and background we were seeking and decided he would be a good fit,” Seymour said. In particular, he added that as mayor Myers “acquired a sound understanding of municipal government and an impressive record of economic development by successfully leveraging resources through partnerships with state government and the private sector.”

Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) applauded Jutton for departing from convention and presenting a candidate who despite the lack of formal credentials, offers the background, achievements and talents the council hoped to find.

“We had a choice of two excellent candidates,” said Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), who said that Myers was chosen for “his proven ability to provide leadership in community development, especially revitalization and employment.”

Originally from East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Myers attended Keene State University then worked as a financial planner in Portsmouth before migrating to the hospitality industry, where he was a managing partner of Galley Hatch Catering in Hampton until he recently sold his interest in the enterprise. He settled in Dover in 1988 and seven years later became chairman of the Dover Economic Development Corporation, getting his first real taste of city government by working with the city manager, planning director and other officials.

Finding the city council hamstrung by political turmoil, in 2003 Myers, then 39, ran for mayor “hoping to change the direction” by bridging dissension and building consensus.

He defeated the incumbent mayor pro-tem by 400 votes and has been re-elected three times since, most recently in November 2009.

Myers said that seeking a career in municipal government is “something I’ve been shifting toward the last few years.” After deciding to sell his stake in the Galley Hatch, he said that he sought a job in public service that drew on the experience he gained as mayor. He was considered for the town manager position in Barrington and intended to apply for the vacancy in Farmington when the slot in Laconia opened.

Like Laconia, Dover is governed by a city council and city manager with a popularly elected mayor. However, unlike Laconia, where the mayor is entitled to vote only to break a tie between the six councilors, in Dover, which elects a councilor from each of six wards and two at-large, the mayor effectively serves as a third councilorat-large, but with the cachet of mayor.

During his four administrations, Myers has set priorities and led shifting coalitions of councilors in pursuit of them.

As mayor Myers has encouraged economic development and undertaken capital projects while seeking to improve financial management and pursue fiscal restraint. He champi-

oned the appointment of an economic development director, conversion of a middle school to a community center, development of city property on the Cocheco River, construction of a fire station and reconfiguration of downtown traffic. Myers also began the process of improving school buildings and increasing energy efficiency in municipal operations.

“We accomplished quite a bit,” Myers said, quickly emphasizing many contributed to the successes Dover has enjoyed. He counted the decision of Liberty Mutual to expand its campus and increase its payroll to 3,5000, the growth of Measured Progress, a nationwide testing service, and the relocation and expansion of the New Hampshire Children’s Museum, which drew 130,000 visitors last year, among the major achievements.

“We have tried to grow the tax base, especially the commercial tax base to ease the burden on our residential taxpayers,” Myers said.

Meanwhile, during his tenure Dover set aside land for conservation, including a portion of the Tuttle property, the nation’s oldest family farm, and in 2009 became the first municipality of its size to adopt “form based” zoning, an innovative approach, which is being considered by the Laconia Planning Department.

At the same time, Myers reversed the practice of borrowing for recurring capital expenses, like vehicle and equipment purchases and street repairs, increasing the amount of cash payments from $90,000 in 2003 to $1.4-million in 2009. “You can’t put recurring expenses on a credit card,” he said. By the narrowest of margins, the city council rejected his proposal to establish an audit committee to oversee municipal finances.

When petitioners proposed a property tax cap in 2007, Myers joined the majority of councilors in voting to place the measure on the ballot and hosted a forum on the issue, but refrained from speaking either in favor or against it. Once the cap was adopted and the recession began, he cautioned that without an increase in the Consumer Price Index, budgeting would prove very challenging in the out years, a position taken this year by several Laconia councilors. Last year, he was among the eight councilors who voted to override the tax cap, though he voted against the budget, which he said favored maintaining staffing levels at the expense of necessary capital projects.

Myers did not escape discord, especially during his third term. Disputes over rules and objectives led to prolonged meetings marked by shouting and threats while agreement about how to administer the tax cap was reached only after hours of debate and five legal opinions. With one councilor absent with illness, there were months of stalemate. But, when Myers ran for his fourth term he stressed that for all the close votes, the council reached consensus on the major issues.

Along with presiding as mayor, Myers kept his seat on the Dover Economic Development Corporation and served on the Economic Development Board, Joint Fiscal Committee, Waterfront Advisory Board, Arena Commission, Labor Policy Committee and as a trustee of the Trust Fund. see next page

Final budget bill cuts N.H. spending historic 12% CONCORD (AP) — Smokers will get a 10-cent break in the cigarette tax but college students will pay hundreds of dollars more in tuition under a $10.2 billion Republican-crafted budget headed Wednesday to Gov. John Lynch for his signature.

The Democratic governor has not said whether he will sign the GOP budget package that cuts services deeply rather than raise taxes or fees. The budget is for the two years beginning July 1.

Smokers may be the only winners in the budget and some question if they will see the tax break or if that portion of the tax will be absorbed into the wholesale pricing of tobacco instead, meaning the tax cut would not be passed onto consumers. Supporters insist retailers will drop their prices to attract shoppers across the border. At the current $1.78 per pack rate, New Hampshire already has the lowest tax in New England.

“Let it be known that today we traded the wellbeing of thousands of New Hampshire citizens for higher cigarette company profits,” objected House Democratic Leader Terie Norelli of Portsmouth.

Big losers would be college students and hospitals.

State aid to the University System of New Hampshire is cut almost in half. The system is eliminating up to 200 jobs, making significant changes in benefits, deferring repairs and dipping into reserves to deal with the cut in state aid. Tuition and fees for instate students living on campus will rise 8.7 percent at the University of New Hampshire and 9.7 percent at Plymouth State University and Keene State College. For example, the cost to attend UNH will rise to $24,702 for tuition, room, board and fees.

“Republicans are putting college and the prospects of a better life out of reach for many New Hampshire families,” said state Rep. Cindy Rosenwald, D-Nashua.

House Finance Chairman Kenneth Weyler, R-Kingston, defended the budget as living within the state’s revenues.

“It’s not slash and burn,” he said.

The budget also makes deep cuts to payments to hospitals, especially in reimbursements for caring from preceding page As a director of the New Hampshire Local Government Center and member of its Committee on Government Affairs, he has represented municipal interests before the state legislature, especially in discussions of health insurance and the New Hampshire Retirement System.

“I’m a community guy,” Myers said. “I will be engaged. I’m in for a dime, in for a dollar.” As mayor, he hosted coffees, offering residents an opportunity to air complaints and ask questions in an informal setting. He danced with the stars, shot hoops with the Harlem Wizards, joined “Walk to School Day” and celebrated the birthdays of residents reaching

for the poor. Cuts in state aid mean hospitals also lose matching federal funding.

The Senate had resisted dropping the cigarette tax but House Speaker William O’Brien renewed the push for the cut at the last minute. O’Brien and other supporters argue it will spur business along New Hampshire’s borders.

Opponents argued the state would lose money it could ill afford to lose when spending on services was being cut. The state estimates the tax cut will cost New Hampshire $8 million to $16 million in lost annual revenue, but supporters say the tax cut and resulting price drop by retailers will draw enough people to the state to shop to make up for it.

The budget puts the cut in place for the next two years so long as revenue from the levy doesn’t drop below receipts for the two years ending June 30. If the revenues do not come in, the tax will rise back to $1.78 per pack.

In exchange, the Senate won inclusion of a bill to streamline the permitting process to build and remodel structures along lakes and rivers and renew fees to support the staff needed to run the program.

Without the staff to process the permits, construction would have ground to a halt, supporters said.

Besides criticizing Republicans for giving smokers a break while forcing college tuition hikes that could make higher education unaffordable for some, Democrats also pointed to other cuts with far-reaching impacts. For example, they pointed to a $1.5 million cut to help about 240 elderly people with housing services such as meals and light housekeeping to keep them independent and out of nursing homes.

“Without these services many of these people will be relegated to nursing facilities at a cost greater than the appropriation,” said Democratic Sen. Lou D’Allesandro of Manchester.

Democrats also said cuts to testing for sexually transmitted diseases will force doctors to send patients without insurance to hospitals where they will be treated for free, adding to the burden the budget already places on hospitals by cutting state see next page the century mark.

He said that he and his wife, Connie, intend to move to the Lakes Region when conditions in the real estate market are favorable. The couple has two grown children.

Perhaps not surprisingly, on the eve of his fourth term as mayor, Myers dispelled local rumors that he was weighing a bid for governor, insisting he had “no interest in statewide office.”

Instead Myers will come to Laconia as the city’s fourth city manager. He will replace Eileen Cabanel , who left last month for a similar job with the Town of Merrimack after a 10 year run here.

kill the rapist,” he said.

The legislation would require health care providers to notify parents of females under age 18 who seek an abortion. Providers would be subject to a misdemeanor charge for performing an abortion in violation of the law, which requires 48 hours of notice in person or by certified mail.

Exceptions existed if a doctor determined the female’s life was at risk or if a delay would create “serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily organ.”

Lynch said he supports parental involvement, but sought commonsense changes. He said he was particularly troubled by the lack of an exception for victims of rape, incest and abuse. He said a young woman should not be forced to involve the person who abused her in the decision.

FORCE from page 2 force under the law.

The brandishing provision was inspired by Moultonborough farmer Ward Bird’s incarceration on a mandatory minimum three-year sentence for showing a gun when a trespasser refused to leave his property.

Bird was jailed in November and released Feb. 2, after the Executive Council took the rare step of commuting his sentence. The felony conviction remains on his record. He can no longer possess a firearm unless a judge annuls or expunges his record.

Opponents of the bill argued that making it legal to brandish a gun would create hostile situations that could end in the death of innocent people.

Republican Sen. David Boutin said the bill was a good compromise that promotes the Second Amendment rights of New Hampshire residents.

But Democrats disagreed. “I still fear that it opens the potential risk to innocent bystanders,” Democratic Sen. Matthew Houde said. “I don’t know if there any limitations as to where anyone has the right to be.”

“Do you have a right to be in a courtroom and hold a gun? Probably,” Democratic Sen. Sylvia Larsen said in opposing the bill. “What about in schools?

Day care centers? What about in this building? It’s not a reasonable compromise when the public safety is at risk.”

Five years ago, Democratic Gov. John Lynch blocked gun rights advocates’ effort to expand a person’s right to use deadly force in self-defense without first attempting to retreat. With Republican supermajorities in both chambers, Lynch may not be able to block it again should he decide to veto the latest bill.

from preceding page payments for such care.

“The Republican slogan is to starve the beast, the beast being the government. What does this mean?

It means government is the enemy,” said state Rep. Bernard Benn, D-Hanover. “The effect is to starve the citizens of government services they need and deserve.”

The House had set an overall limit on what it would spend of $4.4 billion from state taxes on state operations and school aid and the Senate agreed to the limit. That includes $1.9 billion in school aid — the same as the current budget — and $2.5 billion for operating costs. The operating budget spends about 12 percent less than the current budget.

The package includes changes to the public pen-

sion system. The changes end a state subsidy to communities for part of their pension costs and shifts those costs onto employees instead.

House and Senate Republican leaders had promised to write budgets that did not raise fees or taxes, which meant deep cuts had to be made. Perhaps 500 state workers will be laid off as a result. The final number wasn’t clear because some cuts to agency budgets give managers flexibility in how they achieve a given dollar amount of savings. Others may choose to retire rather than be laid off.

“This is the type of transformational change that our citizens deserve,” said Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Morse, R-Salem. “This is only the first step, but a very important one in getting our fiscal house in order.”

It’s YOUR Turn for a Beautiful Smile From Drs. Jay and Manisha Patel & The Center for Contemporary Dentistry

Jessica I didn’t smile in pictures…I TRIED not to smile in pictures! I hadn’t been to the dentist for a while and it was time! I was preparing for my wedding, and I didn’t want to show a bonded, stained smile in my pictures. In fact, if it weren’t for Dr. Patel, I might not have smiled at my wedding at all. Dr. Patel placed veneers on my upper arch and I smile so easily now! Being able to smile makes a huge difference!

ABORTION from page 2 who are victims of rape, incest or abuse would be hurt.

“This is not about good and responsible parents.

It’s about the most abused children in our state,” said state Rep. Claudia Chase, D-Keene.

Most daughters talk to their parents, said state Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, D-Manchester.

“Do we have such little confidence in the parents of children that we have do something like this?” he said. “We know of the incest that takes place in our communities. It’s a terrible, terrible thing. But be aware of it because it does exist. What do you do in that particular situation? You put a child through something unbearable.”

The choice should not be to abort the baby if a girl is raped, said Rep. Warren Groen, R-Rochester.

Padres & rain beat Red Sox 5-1 in 7 innings

BOSTON (AP) — The way things had been going for Clayton Richard, it only figured that he’d have to go through a day like this to get a win.

Will Venable hit a leadoff home run and Richard got some support for a change, lifting the San Diego Padres over the Boston Red Sox 5-1 Wednesday in a game delayed by rain four times before it was called after 7½ innings.

Richard (3-9) lasted through two of the delays during the game, giving up one run and eight hits over five innings to snap five-game losing streak.

The left-hander had lost five of his last six starts with a no-decision in the other despite holding opponents to three or fewer runs five times.

“It’s good that he was rewarded for a performance that lasted like a 5½-hour period,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “He started warming up at 1 o’clock and I told him he was out of the game at 5:25. He deserved that.”

Richard, who escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first by getting David Ortiz to bounce into an inningending double play grounder, felt as if all the Padres

hitters were bothered by the lack of scoring in his starts.

“I think it’s just frustration as a team,” he said. “As a team you have a little more frustration.”

It was the second straight win for San Diego after a season-worst six-game losing streak. The Padres finished their road trip at 3-6.

Adrian Gonzalez hit four singles against his former team to raise his major league-leading average to .359 and drove in Boston’s run. The Red Sox lost for just the fourth time in 18 games and absorbed consecutive losses for the first time this month.

Ortiz went 0 for 3, stranding seven baserunners.

The game’s start was delayed 35 minutes. Play was halted with two outs in the top of the third for 38 minutes and again in the middle of the fifth, with that delay lasting 31 minutes. The final one in the middle of the eighth — was 40 minutes.

In the third delay, crew chief Ed Rapuano called for the tarp, but never left the field when he asked for the grounds’ crew to take it off a few minutes later while the rain appeared to be falling at a similar rate.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tim Thomas has a second Vezina Trophy to go with his recent Stanley Cup title.

The Boston Bruins goalie earned top NHL honors on Wednesday after a stellar season that culminated in the championship.

Thomas set an NHL record for save percentage when he finished at .938, surpassing Dominik Hasek’s .937 set in the 1998-89 season. He also had

a league-low 2.00 goals-against average and nine shutouts. Those imposing figures lifted him over fellow Vezina finalists Roberto Luongo of the Western Conference champion Vancouver Canucks and Nashville’s Pekka Rinne in voting by the league’s 40 general managers.

Rinne had 25 wins in 42 starts, ranking second in save percentage.

Bruins’ Thomas wins 2nd trophy as NHL’s best goalie

New Hampshire state college tuition will jump by nearly 10%

CONCORD (AP) — Tuition at New Hampshire’s state universities will increase nearly 10 percent this year to offset a major reduction in state funding.

The University System Board of Trustees Tuesday hiked tuition at the University of New Hampshire by 8.7 percent. Tuition at Keene State College and Plymouth State University will go up by 9.7 percent.

Those increases apply to tuition, fees and room and meal costs.

Tuition at Granite State College, a commuter college with no room and board, will increase 5.8 percent.

The board in February had set increases at about

6 percent, which has been the average annual increase each of the past five years, but had to adjust that after lawmakers cut funding to the system by nearly 50 percent.

Total costs this coming school year for full-time New Hampshire students who live on campus will be $24,702 at UNH, $20,358 at Plymouth and $20,330 at Keene. Five years ago, those costs were $17,985 at UNH, $14,436 at Plymouth and $14,838 at Keene.

Board chairman Ed Dupont says the university system faces its most challenging year ever and is also cutting costs to cope with the budget shortfall.

DEBT from page 2 nation’s rapidly growing debt burden increases the probability of a fiscal crisis in which investors lose faith in U.S. bonds and force policymakers to make drastic spending cuts or tax increases.

“As Congress debates the president’s request for an increase in the statutory debt ceiling, the CBO warns of a more ominous credit cliff — a sudden

drop-off in our ability to borrow imposed by credit markets in a state of panic,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. The findings aren’t dramatically new, but the budget office’s analysis underscores the magnitude of the nation’s fiscal problems as negotiators struggle to lift the current $14.3 trillion debt limit and avoid a firstever, market-rattling default on U.S. obligations.

The shoes will be visible at their current locations until June 27 and at the Downtown Market on June 30 the winning shoe will be named.

Shoes, which were styled by participants to reflect the image of a randomly-drawn downtown business, are currently displayed at their respective store-

Votes for favorite shoe can be cast at LaBelle’s Shoe Repair or All My Life Jewelers through June 27. The entire collection will be displayed at the June 30 market.

Larry Frates, instigator of the event, said, “we need everyone to walk around downtown, visit our 42 participating stores, and remember to vote early and vote often.”

Volunteers needed to help eradicate invasive Glossy Buckthorn in Tioga River Conservation area GILFORD — Volunteers are needed to help the Student Conservation Association of New Hampshire (SCA NH) eradicate the Glossy Buckthorn in the Tioga River Conservation Area.

Contracted by the Town of Belmont to take on the project, SCA NH began the work, referred to as a “Hitch,” on June 20. The process will continue for 20 days, through July 13, and start up again next spring. But with a 23 — 26 acre area involved, SCA NH Corps conservation manager Jeremy Burns welcomes community participation.

According to the NH Department of Environmental Services, invasions by the aggressive Glossy Buckthorn cause

reductions in local natural plant diversity.

Left unchecked, these plants will ravage this wetland conservation area, creating a “monoculture” — a wetlands with only one surviving species, encroaching on adjacent Belmont properties.

Belknap Landscape, continuing its active role in the eradication of invasive plant species, the protection of New Hampshire water quality, and in the environmental education of area youth, coordinated a recent community outreach effort to help the SCA NH for a single day. Additional volunteers are encouraged to e-mail a note of interest to coordinator Dale Squires at dale@belknaplandscape.com.

LACONIA — The United Baptist Church will host Christian singer/ songwriter Kristyn Leigh at worship service beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 26.

Leigh’s mantra, “Nothing between my soul and my Savoir, nothing between,” represents the heartbeat of her newest musical offering, “Nothing Between” available in October 2011 on Creative Soul Records. A powerhouse vocalist, charming performer, and poignant songwriter, the 24-year-old tours and ministers across the United States, sharing real life-experiences that appeal to people of all ages.

She caught the attention of veteran producer Eric Copeland of Creative

Soul Records in Nashville, TN at age 16. Her first album, “Glimpse,” was released in 2004 followed by “The Heavy and the Holy” in 2007, and “The Ornament” in 2009.

Named Indie Heavens Hardest Working Artist in 2007 and Female Vocalist of the year in 2008, Leigh is a graduate of the University of Louisville in Louisville, KY. She holds a bachelor degree in music therapy.

During the school year, she uses music to teach social skills and other developmental factors to students who are mentally challenged.

For more information, call the Church office at 524-8775 or the chair of the Deacons Board, Alice Nichols, at 707-9122.

GILFORD — Financial planning will be the topic of three different presentations to be given during Open House at Wesley Woods from 11 a.m.

The Field Trip will include lunch.

Members and non-members alike are invited to join the Garden Club for both meetings.

MEREDITH — The Lakes Region Planning Commission was recently awarded the 2011 New Hampshire Planners Association Project of the Year for the “Winnipesaukee Gateway.”

Presented at the 2011 NH Planners Association Annual Conference, the award is granted to a project, program, or tool that is a significant advantage to the cause of planning.

The “Winnipesaukee Gateway” is the first “web-based” subwatershed management plan to be approved by the NH Department of Environmental Services; there is no paper document collecting dust on a shelf.

The “Winnipesaukee Gateway” marks the first time there is a resource dedicated to the natural resource, environmental, and planning issues facing a watershed that encompasses over 300,000 acres. This project allows for continued involvement, development, and sharing of information and resources for residents, planning officials, community members, and other nonprofit organizations and groups.

More than just a website, the Gateway represents the desire to create a flexible informative tool that can deliver large amounts of constantly changing information to key audiences, which will educate and promote awareness and stewardship of the natural resources in the Lake Winnipesaukee watershed among the

public and broader community. The first completed subwatershed management plan represents the involvement and cooperative efforts of many partners including the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association, UNH Center for Freshwater Biology, Plymouth State University Center for the Environment, North Country Resource Conservation & Development Area Council, and the NH Dept. of Environmental Services.

Key to the final plan was the involvement of the municipalities of Meredith, Laconia, and Gilford, who worked together on watershed and water quality issues, acknowledging that Lake Winnipesaukee is a shared resource, of which the communities share the benefits as well as the associated risks from degradation of the resource, and therefore share in the responsibility of effective stewardship.

Funding for the project was made possible through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the NH Department of Environmental Services Clean Water Act Section 319 Funds, and the Lakes Region Planning Commission, in addition to extensive support from the participating Phase 1 municipalities, state agencies, PSU, and UNH. Efforts are currently underway to begin the next subwatershed plan for Center Harbor Bay. For more information, visit www.winnigateway.org.

By Holiday Mathis truth sometimes makes you cry, and you can move others to tears by stating the truth through your various means of self-expression. If you dabble in the arts, today’s “dabblings” will be brilliant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You do what you do because you want to love and be loved. Others may not respond in the manner you would prefer, but they still feel your intention and return the feelings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Through routine activities, you connect with loved ones in a meaningful way. There is something sacred about the way you give your friendship, and others will honor it as such.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

In a group situation, there is a diffusion of responsibility. Because of the number of people involved, many won’t be inclined to try as hard. However, if everyone gives it his best, you’ll move mountains together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You have to be exposed to an idea repeatedly before it will take hold and seem like an excellent idea. That’s why repeatedly seeing people make a healthy choice will prompt you to do the same.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 23).

You’ll have specific tasks to accomplish this year. List them. You’ll exist in your peak performance zone in July, so challenge yourself. Singles enjoy a mutual attraction in August that quickly turns into a relationship. Couples adventure together in August and connect with family, too. Develop your talent in October. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 17, 30 and 16.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe this is not exactly the life of your dreams, but when you assess your experiences with the people you love, look around at all you have acquired. You just may decide that this is the good life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of struggling with your inner critical voice (which, by the way, will be especially loud now), try to befriend it. Listen to what it has to say and respond, “I see your point, but I respectfully disagree.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can easily expand your intellectual horizons by simply avoiding mind-numbing activities such as losing yourself in entertainment you’ve already seen or in an ocean of Internet correspondence.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you feel distant from a person, you are less likely to care about whether or not your actions please that person. Create a closeness with loved ones that will make your relationship impervious to apathy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be uplifted by the camaraderie of music.

Go where you can listen to music with others. A song passes through you like an invisible thread, connecting you to your fellow music lovers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a rivalry going on. Emotions are high, alliances are clear, and everyone wants his own side to win. Acknowledge how important this is to those around you, even though you may be ambivalent about the outcome.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The correct answer is obvious, though many people around you will choose the incorrect response. Some will cave to the social pressure. Stand strong for what is right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, June 23, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, June 23, the 174th day of 2011. There are 191 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 23, 1961, the Antarctic Treaty, intended to ensure that the continent would be used only for peaceful purposes, came into force.

On this date: In 1860, a congressional resolution authorized creation of the United States Government Printing Office, which opened the following year.

In 1931, aviators Wiley Post and Harold Gatty took off from New York on a roundthe-world flight that lasted eight days and 15 hours.

In 1938, the Civil Aeronautics Authority was established.

In 1947, the Senate joined the House in overriding President Harry S. Truman’s veto of the Taft-Hartley Act, designed to limit the power of organized labor.

In 1956, Gamal Abdel Nasser was elected president of Egypt.

In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin (ahLEK’-say koh-SEE’-gihn) held the first of two meetings at Glassboro State College in New Jersey.

In 1969, Warren E. Burger was sworn in as chief justice of the United States by the man he was succeeding, Earl Warren.

In 1985, all 329 people aboard an Air India Boeing 747 were killed when the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Ireland because of a bomb believed to have been planted by Sikh separatists.

In 2005, a divided U.S. Supreme Court, in Kelo v. City of New London, ruled that governments may seize property for private development projects.

One year ago: Following Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s criticism of the Obama administration in a Rolling Stone magazine profile, President Barack Obama named Gen. David Petraeus to replace the Afghanistan commander. Gary Faulkner, who was detained by authorities in northern Pakistan during a personal quest to track down Osama bin Laden, was released.

Today’s Birthdays: Singer Diana Trask is 71. Musical conductor James Levine (luh-VYN’) is 68. Rhythm-and-blues singer Rosetta Hightower (The Orlons) is 67.

Actor Ted Shackelford is 65. Actor Bryan Brown is 64. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is 63. Actor Jim Metzler is 60.

“American Idol” judge Randy Jackson is 55.

Actress Frances McDormand is 54. Rock musician Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) is 49.

Actor Paul La Greca is 49. Rhythm-andblues singer Chico DeBarge is 41. Actress Selma Blair is 39. Rock singer KT Tunstall is 36. Rhythm-and-blues singer Virgo Williams (Ghostowns DJs) is 36. Singer-songwriter Jason Mraz is 34. Rock singer Duffy is 27.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am having an affair with a married woman.

We used to live together and then separated under conditions that were totally my fault. Afterward, I begged her forgiveness and proposed marriage. She declined, but we continued our physical relationship. She then abruptly ended this relationship and married someone else. I was devastated. She told me she wanted to be friends, and I told her I never wanted to see her again.

Within months of her marriage, she called to say she missed me and wanted to be with me again. Our affair is now in its second year. She says she loves me. I have asked her to leave her husband, but she won’t, either out of fear, embarrassment or an unwillingness to leave the comfortable lifestyle he provides her. I have told her if she won’t tell him about me, I will do it myself, even though it might mean losing her. But I’m hardly a part of her life now anyway. Do I have a right to do this? -- Right or Wrong Dear Right: You shouldn’t interfere in someone else’s marriage, either by having an affair with his wife or by confronting him with the information. Your choice is to continue seeing this woman or break it off. We will tell you this: She is not going to leave her husband for you. She will keep you dangling on a string as long as you permit it. Please let her go, and find someone who is willing to return your love and devotion.

Dear Annie: My husband and I received a printed invitation from a friend to attend her husband’s surprise birthday party.

Before I had a chance to RSVP, she e-mailed, saying she hoped we could come and, if so, asked that I bring an appetizer. I was taken aback and didn’t realize I was co-hosting this party.

Should I respond that we’ll: 1. Attend with the appetizer and birthday gift?

2. Attend, decline on the appetizer, but promise to send money to offset the cost of food and inquire if there will be a

cash bar?

3. Send regrets?

I guess I’m having a problem with asking guests to provide the food. I could understand bringing something if a bunch of friends decided as a group to have a potluck or if I had volunteered to cook. What am I to do? -- Unwilling Co-Host Dear Unwilling: It is OK to tell your friend you would love to attend the party but prefer not to be responsible for feeding her guests. However, if this is a very close friend, it would be gracious of you to agree to her request, even though it was totally inappropriate of her to put you on the spot. Maintaining friendships sometimes requires overlooking such impositions.

Dear Annie: “Want To Make Things Right” said her friend claimed neighbors were bombarding his house with “rays,” the shower made his skin burn and his dogs refused to drink the tap water. I liked your suggestion to contact the Environmental Protection Agency. Too many people have been labeled delusional when there is a real cause. There is something wrong with the water if the dogs won’t drink it.

The latest method of extracting gas (fracking) involves forcing chemicals into the rocks, causing them to fracture and release the trapped gas. Unfortunately, the process can poison the groundwater supply. Many incidents of poisoned animals, sickened people and tap water bursting into flames by a lighted match have been reported, but not much is being done. I thought perhaps you could spread the word. -- Not Delusional in Missouri Dear Missouri: This is a highly controversial issue, with adherents on both sides. So far, Congress has been unsuccessful in passing legislation to require energy companies to disclose the chemicals used in fracking and to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
