Kingsbury tells fellow reps there’s link between kindergarten & crime By Adam Drapcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — During a Belknap County Convention meeting on Monday night, called to discuss the proposed hiring of a consultant to help the county commission design a new jail around innovative programming, a couple of state representatives from Laconia espoused theories about what has contributed to an apparent growth in crime in the county. One of them observed a direct link between the proliferation of kindergarten and the increasing inmate population at the Belknap County Jail. State Representative Harry Accornero, after hearing about the county jail’s high pop-
ulation and recidivism rates, asked if the proposed new jail would address the problems. “Will this new facility change anything?” After being told of the proposal for new programs, such as court diversion and drug and alcohol counseling, Accornero suggested that high incarceration rates could be avoided if police were better trained and could offer counseling services instead of reaching for handcuffs. “Where is law enforcement in all of this?” he asked. Not to be outdone, Representative Bob Kingsbury said he’s been working on a theory since 1996, when he analyzed local crime rates and compared them to a list of communities see CRIME page 9

LACONIA — Dwindling and aging membership threatens the future of the voluntary associations that for decades have served as stewards of the function houses at the city’s largest parks. The park houses were originally constructed by the city and leased to the associations, which in turn rent them to civic and social organizations as well as families and individuals for meetings and functions. The associations apply the rental income to the upkeep of the park houses. see PARKS page 9

ST. GEORGE ISLAND, Fla. (AP) — Debby, the guest that wouldn’t leave, is ruining things for a lot of other visitors despite weakening to a tropical depression and leaving Florida’s Gulf Coast behind. The National Hurricane Center said Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT that Debby the tropical storm had been downgraded to a tropical depression with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph as it slogged across northern Florida toward the Alantic coast. But the storm system that lingered in the Gulf of Mexico for days before making landfall was still making its presence felt. Vacationers were wearing ponchos instead of swimsuits at the peak of the summer season because of the tropical storm, which has drenched Florida for at least four days straight like a giant shower head set up over the state’s Gulf Coast. Debby has dumped as much as 26 inches of rain in some spots. Disney World wasn’t as crowded as usual, and see DEBBY page 12

On video, Sandusky’s adopted son talks of sex abuse STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky’s son Matt recalled showering with his future adoptive father as a boy and pretending to be asleep to avoid being touched — memories that surfaced only recently, according to a police interview that details what are the earliest allegations yet of abuse by the former Penn State assistant football coach. Matt Sandusky, now 33, said the abuse started at age 8, a decade before he was adopted by the once-heralded defensive
coordinator, according to the interview, first reported Tuesday by NBC News. “If you were pretending you were asleep and you were touched or rubbed in some way, you could just act like you were rolling over in your sleep, so that you could change positions,” Matt Sandusky said in an excerpt played Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show. His attorneys confirmed the recording’s authenticity to The Associated Press. Jerry Sandusky was convicted last week of 45 counts of abusing 10 boys he met
through the charity he founded — the same organization that introduced him to Matt Sandusky, who became his foster child. Jerry Sandusky’s principal lawyer did not return messages Tuesday, and another lawyer said only that Matt Sandusky’s allegations contradict testimony he gave to the grand jury whose charges put his father on trial. Matt Sandusky did not reveal any abuse when he was initially questioned see SANDUSKY page 7
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate’s top Democrat and Republican said Tuesday that they’ve reached a deal that would prevent interest rates on college loans from doubling beginning this weekend for millions of students. But House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has yet to decide whether the pact will be acceptable to his Republican-run chamber. The agreement, if approved by Congress, would spell an end to one of this election-
season’s higher profile conflicts between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans. Even so, the battle has been a bitter one, with Republicans accusing the White House of dragging out the fight to score political points and Democrats accusing the GOP of blocking action on the issue. “The president’s been largely uninvolved in that, but Senator Reid and I have an understanding that we think will be
acceptable to the House,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters. “We basically have the student loan issue worked out,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said separately. Under the agreement, interest rates for new subsidized Stafford loans would remain at 3.4 percent through next June 30. Without congressional action, interest see STUDENT LOANS page 10

Vermont couple pleads not Truth in packaging rule leads Cabot to drop ‘Vermont guilty to teacher killing St. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) — A snowplow driver and his wife who are accused of killing a popular teacher and dumping her naked body in the Connecticut River in March faced new charges of premeditated murder on Tuesday. Allen Prue pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the killing of Melissa Jenkins, of St. Johnsbury. Patricia Prue pleaded not guilty to a charge of aggravated murder, accusing her of killing Jenkins during a sexual assault or attempted sexual assault. A police affidavit says the Prues, who had been charged with second-degree murder and have been jailed without bail, planned to kill the 33-year-old single mother, buying a stun gun and prepaid cellphone and driving by her home and the dam in Barnet where they later dumped her body. It says the Waterford couple lured her out of her house with a ruse about a broken-down car and strangled, beat and electrocuted her. A fellow inmate told police that Patricia Prue, 33, said they chose Jenkins because of her gorgeous blond hair and because she felt socially snubbed by Jenkins, the affidavit said. The inmate said she overheard Prue saying that Jenkins wouldn’t recommend Allen Prue, 30, for snowplowing jobs and that they sexually assaulted her. Police also said they found a ripped-up note that Patricia Prue had written in jail with the phrases “We picked her because,” ‘’sexually attracted” and “It was fun.” The latest news shook family and friends of Jenkins, a science teacher at the St. Johnsbury Academy and devoted mother of a 2-year-old boy. “What we feel is rage and anger and pain and sadness, sickness, empty,” said Eric Berry, of Lyndonville, who is married to Jenkins’ cousin. He and his wife attended Tuesday’s arraignment. “Nothing is going to bring Melissa back so therefore there’s no justice,” he said. “We’re just trying to work through this as a family.”
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Cabot Creamery Cooperative is losing a little “Vermont” on its labels, and that has government officials worried that Vermont is losing a little publicity. The farmer-owned cooperative, which makes cheese, butter and other dairy products, is phasing out labels that reference the state’s name in the logo because not all its products are wholly Vermontmade. One old logo has “Cabot” stamped over a green outline of the state, with the word “Vermont” next to it. Another just has the shape of Vermont under the word “Cabot.” The new one has a green barn and the words “Owned by our Farm Families in New York & New England.” Some state officials are worried about the change, saying Cabot’s widespread distribution helps promote other Vermont products and tourism, and are considering changing state law to let Cabot keep the Vermont reference in its logo. “For this Vermont boy, Cabot is Vermont and Vermont is Cabot,” Gov. Peter Shumlin said in an interview Tuesday. The state zealously guards the reputation of its famous foods. It even has a “maple specialist” who checks on the state’s most famous product to make sure it tastes right, has the correct sugar concentration and is properly graded. While Cabot has been synonymous with Vermont
since the cooperative was founded in 1919, the state also has a tough truth-in-labeling law. Take a food product like butter. If a company wants to use the state’s name to help sell butter, 75 percent of the cream must be from Vermont and 75 percent of the butter itself must be made in the state. If not, a company wanting to use the Vermont name on its logo has to disclose on the front of its package that it’s actually an out-of-state product. Assistant Attorney General Elliot Burg, head of his office’s consumer protection division, said the butter issue came to his attention during negotiations leading to an agreement last year with Cabot on a separate matter: the labeling of products as not coming from cows treated with synthetic growth hormone. Cabot’s butter is made in West Springfield, Mass., from cream sourced from around New England, said Roberta MacDonald, Cabot’s vice president for marketing. But Vermont references were “all over the packaging,” Burg said. Besides having Vermont in its logo, Cabot was using packaging space to tout Vermont woodworkers and their products. A reasonable consumer would have concluded that the butter came from Vermont, Burg said.
CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Motor Speedway has reached a settlement with the family of a Vermont man who was injured at the track after he fell off a golf cart. Roderick Jenks of Wilder, Vt., was thrown from the back of the cart driven by a track employee at the speedway in 2006. His attorneys say Jenkins slammed his head on the pavement and he required brain surgery and months of hospitalization. His
wife sued the speedway and Textron Inc., the golf cart maker, in federal court in 2009. The Concord Monitor reports the family’s attorney cited a confidentiality agreement that prevents him from commenting on the settlement. Speedway General Manager Jerry Gappens also declined to comment. A trial against Textron is scheduled next month. A spokesman declined to comment.

What about the Doug Jones Average? To report on how our economy is doing, media outlets keep a constant eye on the Dow Jones Average. But they’re like cats watching the wrong mouse hole, for the great majority of Americans have between zero and next-to-nothing in the stock market. The economic measure that matters most to most folks is the Doug Jones Average. The Doug is concerned about such key indicators as the pump price on a gallon of regular, the subprime value of today’s sevenand-a-quarter minimum wage and the impact of global inflationary pressures on the cost of a six-pack. So, how’re Doug and Dottie Jones doing? Not well, report the numbercrunchers at the Federal Reserve. In the latest Survey of Consumer Finances, Fed economists found that from 2007 through 2010, all but the wealthiest 10-percent of American households have been downwardly mobile, with the median net worth of U.S. households tumbling by a startling 39-percent, falling to the lowest level in 20 years. In short, Americans are not merely feeling poorer — they are. Foreclosures, lost jobs, wage declines and other reductions (combined with rising costs of everything from gasoline to child care) have become the norm, even shoving many proud middle-classers onto food stamp rolls. Yet Washington remains fixated on propping up Wall Street’s moneyed elites. Congressional Republicans are actually clamoring for more financial deregulation and tax giveaways to coddle Wall Streeters (the same disastrous approach that caused the mess we’re in) while also voting to slash funding for the food stamp program that more and more people need. To keep a mighty tree, alive you must nourish the grassroots, not just spritz the few leaves at the top. But Washington has become a town of leaf-spritzers, ignoring the massive housing crunch, ongoing joblessness and mounting consumer debt. Indeed, three-fourths of Americans today have more invested in their aging cars and trucks than in stocks (and, by the way, those vehicles — which are the chief asset for millions of people — now average 11 years old). To know which way the economic winds are blowing, lawmakers could simply check the daily newspaper headlines: “Underemployed and Underpaid,” “Shrinking Consumers” and “Economy Leaving Lost Generation.” Winds of hurricane force are knocking down the Joneses — America’s workaday majority. This is not the natural workings
of inscrutable market forces, as the financial elite want us to believe, but a direct hit from the ethos of plutocratic greed that now prevails among of our country’s corporate and governmental decision-makers. They keep putting the short-term selfish interests of the few over the future well-being of America’s many — national interest be damned. Another headline offers a galling example of this: “China Takes Tech Tips From Silicon Valley.” The story behind the headline is that Chinese officials intend to zoom their country ahead of ours as leader of the world’s “knowledge economy.” Who’s helping them make this Great Leap Forward over the U.S.A.? Our own venture capitalists, corporate executives and university officials. Already, the prestigious college of engineering at UC Berkeley is opening a multimillion-dollar research and instructional school in Shanghai to teach “Silicon Valley 101” to the next generation of Chinese. It was paid for and built by the Chinese. As a Berkeley research dean explained, “The bottom line is, if there are resources in China, we would be foolish not to go there.” But whose bottom line is being served — and who is being played for a fool? Only a dozen years ago, America’s middle-class workers were told not to fight the offshoring of their good-paying manufacturing jobs because their future lay in the sparkling, new knowledge-based economy. But we now see Silicon Valley itself hightailing it to China, transferring America’s technical knowledge, competitive edge and middle-class future nearly 7,000 miles away. Incredibly, this crass betrayal of America’s workaday majority is not even being talked about in this year’s elections. To force the issue of middle-class decline to the top of Washington’s agenda, We the People must raise some serious hell at the grassroots level. We must become less timid and start getting in the face of our own congress-critters, because they’re failing us. The demise of the middle class is the demise of America itself. We can’t be silent about that. For information you can use, go to www.AmericanManufacturing.org. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist.

LETTERS ‘Backup’ truck in question left the fire station one time in 2010 To the editor, Before anybody accuses me of “just saying no” to replace a fire truck in Gilford, I want to say for the record that the 20 year old “back up” fire truck should be replaced sometime in the near future. The only thing that has me confused is why it has been raised to the level of an “emergency”. Why am I confused? Let me attempt to get this straight. We MUST vote immediately to buy a new truck because it’s a public safety emergency. But, if we vote for the new truck today, the new truck won’t come for at least nine months. Based on this fact alone, shouldn’t Gilford immediately repair the current truck so that we have it for the public’s safety? NO, was the answer given. The repairs are too costly. If a new fire truck can’t be delivered for at least nine months then exactly how are we providing public safety? Answer; we are borrowing a truck from Laconia or Belmont when we service the front line truck. This is only required when the front line truck is being serviced. How often is that? The “backup” truck in question only left the fire station once in 2010 and once in 2011 for a week while the front line truck was being serviced. Okay, so if borrowing a fire truck a few times a year protects the public’s safety then why not for another 15 months or longer? Why isn’t this solution good enough until the next regular voting cycle? Remember, we have a front line truck that works just fine. This will come as an incredible shock to most of you but the “experts” say it’s true. It seems that by some strange coincidence, Gilford has a sudden, more frequent need for a back up truck since the vote that failed to buy a new truck. This is obviously causing a burden and emphasizing the need for a new truck. You would have to be a complete idiot not to see that we are in desperate need of a brand new “back up” fire truck to keep our community safe. Even though that new truck won’t be available for at least nine months. Okay, I’m a slow learner and I’m not convinced there’s a “real” solution so maybe a used truck could solve my immediate public safety concern? I think Laconia bought a pretty decent used truck for $90,000 not to long ago.
Answer from the “experts”: Gilford’s needs are “too special” to buy a used truck and after all, please, we are “Gilford”. Okay, help me out? If Gilford is “uniquely special” and there is no used fire truck that could possibly meet its needs, then how is it that the trucks we’re borrowing meet the public safety needs? Are we so lucky to live next to the only two communities on the planet that has the same “unique” set of needs? No need to continue this silly line of questioning, the only remedy is an emergency vote to approve a new truck. There was some information that was going to be presented at the Gilford Budget Committee meeting which involved fixing the current truck for less money than anticipated however the committee couldn’t be bothered with actually hearing about it. Void of any leadership, the Budget Committee considered the idea of fixing the truck at a savings, completely irrelevant. The chair did allow viewing a really nice video of our firefighters fighting a fire. They were doing a great job on the fire but the video had absolutely nothing to do with the fire truck in question and it wasn’t even in the picture. After the video, all discussion was over and the majority moved to immediately vote to approve the “emergency” funding. After all, why wouldn’t we seek the community’s resources to get this truck road worthy enough to get us to the next regular voting cycle? Answer: I think you already know the answer. Yes, only a new truck for Gilford is the only solution. Is any of this making sense? Of course it doesn’t make sense. This entire fiasco was created by the Board of Fire Engineers’ who are obviously steamed over losing the vote to buy a new truck. The town administrator has gone along with this crazy scheme out of ignorance or incompetence and convinced the selectmen to invoke extreme measures to solve a not so extreme problem. The scariest part of this story is that while the elected leaders of Gilford get their chains yanked by the bureaucrats, we get to grip our pillows a little tighter each night because getting a new fire truck is more important than actually curing the problem.

LETTERS ‘Let’s do it right’ means let’s spend the most & get the cream To the editor, The headline on Saturday read, “COUNCIL COMMITTED TO MORE BORROWING FOR PLAN A”. It gives the impression that the council as a whole had approved this. As a councilor and a member of the Finance Committee, I was not asked for a comment on this or even knew that we would be asked to borrow more money for Plan A. What is Plan A? Plan A is one of two options for a new football field to be constructed during the addition and renovation of the Huot Center. Plan B would cut a half million dollars from the cost, but “doing it right” seems to mean doing whatever costs the most. A little background is in order. Back in 2010 the Laconia School Board applied for authorization to apply for funding in the amount of $10-million. The sole purpose of this request was for the engineering, renovation, equipment and construction of Huot Career and Technical Center. The state would contribute 80% or $7.5-million. On June 28, 2010, the City Council approved the application and appropriated $2.5-million as matching funds for the project. I voted against it. The final bill passed by the state Legislature was $7.125-million which left the city with a $2.375-million dollar match and a total budget of $9.5 million. So, all was in place for the School Board’s plans for renovations and addition to the Huot Center. WAIT. Along comes the availability of a $6-million federal loan with no interest. This would mean some much needed infrastructure upgrades to the High School building could be made, i.e. new boilers, repair of several leaking roofs, and the need for
updated science labs was brought up and a new football field which would also open up parking facilities as alternates in the budget. This was discussed with the Finance Committee on July 8, 2011. The final approval came in November, 2011. I did vote for this as we were committed already and it would mean greatly needed improvements to the infrastructure of the high school which would remove the necessity of a new school. This was intended that whatever could be accomplished within the budget would be done. Items not fitting into the budget, would not. Remember, all monies available to the School Board are TAX monies, yours and mine. Property taxes, state, and federal grants, whatever. As the engineering and plans progressed, it became most evident, that the football field was a top priority. Fine. But, as usual, there is never too much for sport fields and when Councilor Hamel says “let’s do it right” he means let’s spend the most and get the cream of the crop. This is the same argument used with the fields when the Middle School was built and after all that money was spent, a year later we found them a disaster and had to invest more money to save them. So, now, there is a shortage and the need for more money than budgeted must come from the city to complete the increased items. Is there no end? On Monday night, I voted no on this matter as well as on a budget that comes in with a projected figure of a $.15 tax increase. I also proposed a cut that would have reduced the increase to $.10. It was a lost cause. Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4 - Laconia
Obama doesn’t care about Americans harmed by illegal immigration To the editor, Monday the Obama administration continued its war against the American people and the rule of law. In a petulant response to the Supreme Court’s audacity for not declaring a key portion of the Arizona (SB 1070) Immigration Law unconstitutional, the Obama administration ordered its immigration authorities not to accept inquiries about a person’s immigration status from Arizona unless the inquiry related to a felony. In addition, attempting to intimidate Arizona law enforcement, the Obama administration set up a hotline for people to report alleged racial profiling by Arizona police asking about their immigration status. If, unknown to Arizona police, the person legitimately stopped has murdered someone in another state, the Obama administration will not take the phone call and the person will most likely be released. If unknown to the Arizona police, the person is a known terrorist on his way to California, Washington DC, New Hampshire, or someplace else, the Obama administration will not take the call and the terrorist may be set free to harm Americans. If unknown to Arizona law enforcement, the person is a rapist, child molester, robber, other violent criminal, or has killed someone drunk driv-
ing, the Obama administration will not take the call. If the person is taking a job that one of America’s 25-million un- or under-employed wants, or if the person is taking welfare, food stamps, or other social services provided to help fellow American citizens in need, the Obama administration won’t take the call. In his pursuit of Hispanic votes, President Obama doesn’t care about the will of the American people which opposes amnesty and the DREAM act, and approves of the Arizona immigration law. He doesn’t care that Congress has rejected both amnesty and the DREAM act. He doesn’t care that federal laws say the federal government is supposed to implement the immigration laws. He doesn’t care about the millions of unemployed Americans whose jobs are taken by illegal aliens being paid under the table. He doesn’t care about the cost to the taxpayers providing the benefits taken by illegal aliens for whom they were never intended. He doesn’t care about the American citizens who are harmed by people who shouldn’t even be in our country. President Obama’s war on American citizens trades the suffering, money, and blood of American citizens for his votes. Don Ewing Meredith

Cormier vents & Pike joins him in approving part-time fire inspector position By Gail Ober
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Selectman Ron Cormier lashed out at his fellow selectmen Monday night after they started balking over advertising for and hiring a part-time fire inspector. The board had tacitly agreed to hire a temporary inspector two weeks ago. In the end, Cormier coaxed the support needed from colleague Jon Pike to pass the measure but Ruth Mooney abstained from voting. Cormier, who has traditionally supported creating the position, said he was “frustrated” with the lack of commitment to getting fire inspections done. “It’s a couple of thousand dollars to get someone in to do inspections that are not being done,” he said, noting that selectmen were told that some renters were living in “hazardous conditions” and inspections were not being done. At a selectmen meeting on June 11, Pike, said he supported Parenti’s drafting of a job description for the board’s review because the town’s former code enforcement officer died. Steve Dalton was a also firefighter who advised property owners on fire-code related matters and selectmen agreed at their last meeting the town could not expect the new, still to be hired, code enforcement officer to have the same
skill set. As it stands now, the lieutenant who performs inspections does them on his day off and is paid overtime. Two weeks ago, the lieutenant was on a medical leave. The vacillation on Monday came when Fire Chief David Parenti, who sought approval of his draft job description, told the board that the lieutenant had returned to work after being on a medical leave due to an off-duty motorcycle injury. Mooney said that she thought the new position should again go through the Budget Committee. The Budget Committee voted last year not to fund the position. “I keep hearing this ‘go through’ process,” Cormier said. “The Budget Committee is not responsible for running this town. The Budget Committee can offer guidance and assistance but it’s up to the Board of Selectmen to run this town.” He said he wanted to get the person hired and see if he or she could become current with the inspection in the six months left in the year. “The Budget Committee’s fear was adding another position,” said its chair Ron Mitchell, who was at Monday’s meeting and who has also served as a selectman. “It’s up to you folks to do what you do.”
Pike said he would vote for the part-time fire inspector, for the remainder of this year, only if Parenti could assure him the position would be time certain and the person hired would not be a firefighter, unless he or she was retired. Although official budget committees in New Hampshire review the board of selectmen’s budget requests on a line-by-line basis, after the bottomline budget is voted at annual town meeting, selectmen legally administer the town and can spend the money where the board believes the town needs it. In general, the exception is specific warrant articles and pockets of money set aside for specific reasons, like capital reserve funds. Pike said he didn’t want to see the town’s ambulance parked outside of a place being inspected because when taxpayers see that they question the use of the town’s vehicles. “I don’t want to see two people in a truck,” he continued. “This person has to be ready to come out of the box. No training.” Selectmen also discussed a fee schedule for fire inspections but came to no conclusions. Cormier said he would only support a fee schedule if there is a dedicated person to perform the inspections.
According to Glover’s letter, the trustee had contacted the Water Department twice to get them to shut off the water but the first time was told someone living there and it was unlawful to shut off the water. “Not having been in the position of being a ‘landlord’ previously, she (the trustee) was not aware of that fact and did not pursue the issue further at that time,” Glover wrote. The trustee said once the property was vacant she again asked town to shut off the water and was told by the department head that he really couldn’t because someone signed a contract years ago to connect to town water and if he did shut it off, she would have to dig up the yard and call him to inspect it. It was when a department employee read the
meter, noticed the usage was “unusually high”, and reported it to his supervisor that the department head went to the property and had the water service stopped. The supervisor also notified the trustee and, with the property owner’s permission, went the next day and found the broken water pipe. He shut off the water at the street. Glover ended her request for an abatement of some or all of the $3,929 that was usage from the date of the last bill by noting her client’s two previous attempts to shut off the water in the interim. Selectmen also wanted to know who got the water out of the basement and Public Works Director Jim Fortin said it was his understanding that the water, at one point nearly filling the cellar, had dissipated on its own.
Water leak leads to $4,100 bill for empty Belmont house; owners want relief By Gail Ober
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — A Gale Street property owner has asked selectmen to abate some if not all of a $4,100 water bill incurred because of a break in a pipe. Atty. Kerri Glover represents the Maureen Amell, the trustee for the 11 Gale Street property, which is owned by the Maurice I. and Martha M. Bourque Joint Revocable Trust. According to Glover, the property is vacant and was vacant when the water pipe broke. When she presented the request to selectmen Monday night, Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said she thought the request was “more than reasonable,” but selectmen wanted more information. “What about insurance?” asked Selectman Ruth Mooney. Beaudin said she didn’t know if the trust had insured the property but said she ask. She also said it appeared at one point a “family member” had been living there but it appeared the home had been abandoned in the interim.

NASCAR from page one the representatives of all 13 cities in the state who gathered at the Legislative Office Building yesterday. Jerry Gappens, executive vice-president and general manager of NHMS drew ping pong balls, each bearing the name of a city, and as each city was called, its representative selected paired drivers from among the top 26 in the current NASCAR Sprint Cup standings. Each pairing consisted on a driver currently ranked in the top 13 and another ranked between 14 and 26. Myers fancied drafting three-time Sprint Cup Champion Tony Stewart, an aggressive driver who has won three times ay NHMS and is currently ranked fifth in Sprint Cup driver standings. He said that Stewart runs well on flat ovals, especially in hot weather when the surface of the track is slick. But, Lebanon took Stewart, along with Juan Montoya, with whom Myers was less impressed, with the first pick. After Somersworth chose Ryan Newman and Paul Menard, ranked 13th and 14th, Myers selected Johnson, whose five consecutive Sprint Cup championships between 2006 and 2010 are unmatched and have earned him the nickname “Five Times”. This season he has won twice, as has Stewart, finished in the top five nine times and a dozen times in the top 10 to claim fourth place in the standings. Known as “The Dinger,” Allmendinger, with only two finishes in the top ten, has yet to match his promise with results. Dick Berggren, himself a retired driver who has followed motorsports as a writer and announcer for four decades, was on hand as a handicapper. He said that every one of the top 13 drivers had a “decent chance” to win the race. Apart from Johnson’s record of success, he said his advantage rested with Chad Knaus, his crew chief, stressing that he is not only among the best in the business but also that the two have been together for 10 years, sharing those five
championships. Myers. he said, “made a knowledgeable pick.” The LENOX Industrial Tools 301, the 24th race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, will be run at NHMS on Sunday, July 15.
If the winner of the race — 33 cars will start — matches up with one of the 26 selected on Tuesday, the speedway will donate $20,000 to the city that selected that particular driver, with the money designated to be spent on education.
SANDUSKY from page one as a grand jury witness but did release a statement alleging past abuse as the jury was sequestered in deliberations last week. The police interview tapes are the first time Matt Sandusky’s allegations of sexual abuse have been publicly aired, and too much time has passed for criminal charges. Asked why he was now coming forward on abuse purported to have occurred as early as the late 1980s, Matt Sandusky told police there were several reasons — but singled out his family. “So that they can really have closure and see what the truth actually is. And just to right the wrong, honestly, of going to the grand jury and lying,” he
said in the police interview. The AP does not identify people alleging sexual assault without their consent. Matt Sandusky’s lawyers named him in a statement released Tuesday to reporters that acknowledged the tapes’ validity. “Although the tape was released without Matt’s knowledge or permission, it illustrates that he made the difficult decision to come forward and tell the painful truth to investigators despite extraordinary pressure to support his father,” lawyers Justine Andronici and Andrew Shubin wrote. Jerry Sandusky hasn’t been charged with abusing Matt, one of six children adopted by the former coach and his wife, Dottie. Messages left for San-
dusky’s other children were not returned. Matt Sandusky sat with Dottie Sandusky on the first day of the trial but left after hearing one of the accusers testify. His attorneys have said he reached out to them while the trial was under way, saying he wanted to talk to prosecutors. Matt Sandusky said that he was undergoing therapy and that his memories of abuse were only now surfacing. He said on the tapes that he tried to flee Sandusky’s house and also attempted suicide. “I know that I really wanted to die at that point in time,” he said. On the recording, Matt Sandusky says he was see next page

Divided Belknap Convention postpones final vote on new-jail related appropriation request to July 16 By Adam Drapcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — At a meeting on Monday, the Belknap County Convention postponed a decision on the county commission’s request for a supplemental appropriation to hire a consulting firm to help design a new county jail and supporting programs. However, an earlier vote at the meeting indicated that a bare majority supports the expenditure if the funding can come from the existing budget. Belknap County Commissioners came to the delegation on Monday with a request to supplement their 2012 budget with $185,000, of which they hoped to use $160,000 to hire New York-based consultants RicciGreene Associates, a firm which has helped Strafford and Merrimack counties redesign their correctional programs and facilities. The remaining $25,000 in the request would be used, County Administrator Debra Shackett explained, to pay for at least part of the project’s anticipated architectural fees. None of the 15 members of the county delegation present argued with the commission’s position that a new jail was necessary. An engineering study performed in 2010 has highlighted the many failings of the jail’s structure, parts of which have stood since the late 1800s. The facility’s shortcomings are only part of the problem, the commission presented to the delegation. A previously hired consultant, David Bennett, studied the county jail and found that Belknap County’s jail population increased by 114-percent during an eightyear span ending in 2008. Jail populations statewide only increased by 21-percent during the same period. Contributing to the rising population is the county’s average pre-trial confinement time of 83 days and a disproportionately high recidivism rate, which measures how likely a person is to return to incarceration after completing a sentence. Bennett concluded that Belknap County was relying too heavily on incarceration for lack of alternative programs, such as court diversion, drug abuse treatment, mental health or educational programs, from preceding page sexually abused off and on between ages 8 and 15. While being questioned, he said Jerry Sandusky would blow raspberries on his stomach and touch his genitals. The acts described were similar to accounts relayed by eight accusers who offered graphic testimony on the witness stand. Those eight accusers said they met Sandusky through The Second Mile, the charity Jerry Sandusky founded for at-risk youth. Matt Sandusky also met his adoptive father through the charity. Asked whether he recalled engaging in oral sex or being raped by the former Penn State coach, he told police “at this point I don’t recall that.” Unless he recovers memory of rape or deviate sexual intercourse, it doesn’t appear Jerry Sandusky could still be charged in connection with the allegations by his son.

which might leave convicted persons in a better situation than simply “warehousing” inmates until their sentences were completed. “We don’t want to just build a jail, that’s the most expensive way to do it,” said Commissioner John Thomas. “We’re not just building a jail, we’re building a community justice program.” After Bennett completed his work earlier this year, the commission created a Jail Planning Committee, but Shackett told the delegation that the task of designing a new host of programs, and a contemporary correctional facility, was too great for a committee of people new to the challenge. “There’s a big gap between knowing the things we need ot do and hiring an architect,” Shackett said. “At this point, we need someone to manage this process.” Some members of the delegation, especially representatives Bob Kingsbury (Laconia) and Collette Worsman (Meredith), were hesitant Monday night to grant the request for further funds without knowing what the overall project would cost. Kingsbury noted RicciGreene had participated in other jail redesigns in the state, “How much did those jails cost?” Worsman also pressed Shackett and the commission about what other communities spent to implement similar changes. “What’s their experience, of before and after? Before we commit the county to this path, what are we going to gain?” Representative Harry Accornero (Laconia) agreed. “I would like to meet with people from Strafford and Sullivan counties and see what they spent and what success they’ve had. Commisisoner John Thomas, though, argued that Belknap County’s project would be a bespoke creation and the costs and benefits seen in other counties wouldn’t necessarily apply. “They built a facility to fit their community,” he said. “I just don’t think you can compare our county to Sullivan, which is a bigger county,” added Representative Dennis Fields (Sanbornton and Tilton). “We have to do something for people that we can get them back on a better track in life... For me, it’s a no-brainer to move on.” “It’s clear we don’t know this whole process,” complained Worsman, noting that the commission was had “surprised” the delegation with the request for additional appropriation. She asked the commission for a detailed plan before she would grant her support. “Lay it out so that we may have a comment time from our constituents.” Growing frustrated with Worsman, Shackett said that Bennett’s report was presented in a five-hour symposium, which some delegates chose to attend, and was posted on the county’s website for the rest to read at their own convenience. “The plan is there for you to know if you want to look at it,” she said. Elaine Swinford, a District 5 representative for the towns of Alton, Barnstead, Belmont and Gilford, supported the expenditure. “If you want to build a house or build a road, or build a garden in your back yard, you go out and get the best information.” see next page

see PaRKs page Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, said this week that in their heyday the park association memberships ranged between 50 and 100 and served as the social hub of close-knit neighborhoods. However, as alternative forms of entertainment have multiplied, demands on two-income households have mounted and bonds among neighbors have frayed, membership has declined. Without viable associations, he said, the responsibility for maintaining and managing the park houses would CRIMe from page one that offered public kindergarten. Then, he told his colleagues, Laconia offered kindergarten and had the highest rates of crime. Meanwhile, surrounding towns, some of which didn’t offer kindergarten, had less crime. “We’re taking children away from their mothers too soon,” Kingsbury concluded. Kingsbury wrote to all of his then state representatives, informing them of his research. To his dismay, the state Legislature has since joined the remaining 49 states in mandating public kindergarten. “And we have more crime today,” he said. In addition to kindergarten, Kingsbury also linked the rise of crime to the decline of gun ownership and to fact that boxing is no longer taught in school or offered as a sport. Both Accornero and Kingsbury are freshmen Republicans seeking second terms this fall. from preceding page Kingsbury moved, with Worsman’s second, that the delegation table the request until its next meeting, at which time the commission could present costs and results from other community corrections projects. Frank Tilton, a representative of Laconia, spoke against the move, especially in light of the problems highlighted in a PowerPoint presentation projected onto a screen in the room. He asked, “Are we going to stonewall and not do a program, and live with all these deficiencies up there?” Don Flanders (Laconia) also urged his colleagues to vote against a delay. The current state of the facility increases likelihood that an inmate or jailor could be injured, the delegation had been told, which leaves the county open to litigation. In light of that, Flanders said, “We’re sitting here, crossing our fingers that we don’t have 100 lawsuits dropped in our laps.” The motion to table the request failed by a vote of 6 to 9, with Accornero, Guy Comtois, Bob Greemore and Tyler Simpson joining Worsman and Kingsbury in the affirmative. Following that vote, Worsman moved that the commission should hire the consultant but find the funding within its existing budget. The motion passed 8 to 7, with Bill Tobin and Bob Luther joining those who previously voted for the postponement. Voting against the motion were Tilton, Swinford, Fields, Flanders, David Russell, Alida Millham and Peter Bolster. However, the legality of the motion was questioned as the county commission does not require delegation approval to spend funds already in its budget. The commission also then insisted that the delegation address its request for supplemental appropriation. However, perhaps due to the fact that the meeting had entered its third hour, the consensus of the delegation was to recess the meeting until 4 p.m. on July 16. During a public hearing, held prior to the votes, two county residents spoke against further expenditures of taxpayer dollars. Curt McGee of Sanbornton thought that $160,000 for a consultant was “a bargain” considering the task. “That said, I wouldn’t approve another penny for a special appropriation.” He noted that the county has ended recent years with funds remaining in its budget. “They just can’t spend all this money,” he said. Dave Dubois, of Belmont, said the focus on the jail is only addressing “the symptom, not the problem,” and that the underlying cause of the problem is the economy. He said, “Can the county afford a $40-million prison? You have to ask yourself that.”
fall to the city. To forestall this outcome, the Parks and Recreation Commission has directed Dunleavy to take steps to increase membership in the park associations. Memorial Park, where the park house has been leased since the 1980s, has not an active association for years. At Wyatt Park, also in the South End, the park house was closed in 2008 and demolished this year and plans to improve the park include no plans to rebuild it for want of an active association. And last week the Parks and Recreation Department called for volunteers at Tardif Park, off Gilford Ave., where the association has shrunk to a single member. Meanwhile, the park house at Opechee Park was closed in 2010 and is slated for demolition and reconstruction. The Weirs Community Park Association has invested in furnishing and equipping the Weirs Community Center, which hoisters a variety of functions, from social gatherings to business meetings. Likewise, at Leavitt Park a small but active association enjoys a relatively strong financial position.
In 1996, the City Council adopted a formal policy by which “certain costs for the operation, maintenance and repair” of the park houses were shared between the city and the associations. Apart from a $2,200 annual allotment from the city, the associations are responsible for all utilities — heat, water, sewage, electricity and telephones as well as trash disposal. General the associations tend to interior maintenance and repair, including plumbing and electricity. Structural repairs, replacement of heating systems, along with plumbing and electrical fixtures, and exterior painting are the serve of the city. Each park association has its own rental policies and fee schedule administered by a rental agent. Dunleavy said that Opechee, Leavitt and The Weirs have enjoyed a “strong rental history” and are the most financially sound of the associations. Don Richards of the The Weirs Community Park Association, easily the financially healthiest of the associations, said “all the associations, along with fraternal organizations and similar groups, are see next page

At the NHIAA Meet of Champions, held earlier this month at Londonderry High School, the team set a new school record of 4:09.2 in the girls’ 4 x 400 meter relay, smashing the old mark of 4:17.5 that had stood for 27 years.

from preceding page struggling to maintain membership. It’s a real, real problem.” Ironically, The Weirs Community Park Association is the only association without a park and Richards said that it has thrived because of “continuous, active leadership for 20 years,” which has pursued the development of 27 acres as The Weirs Community Park. “That keeps us together and heading in the same direction,” he said. But, he worries that “we can’t keep it up if that goal keeps moving further down the line.” Richards said that the association’s income is evenly divided between the parking concession during Motorcycle Week and renting the Weirs Community Center, which hosts both regular and seasonal tenants, including between 15 and 20 condominium associations at least twice a year. This, he explained, has enabled the association to both maintain and enhance the center while investing some $60,000 in
the design and engineering of the park. The Community Center in contained in the Weirs Fire Station building. While confident the park will be completed, Richards is less sanguine about the future of membership. “We hope the park facilities, the playground, will encourage younger people to get involved, to be willing to participate. It doesn’t take many,” he continued, “but you need a dedicated group willing to spend untold hours.” Dunleavy said that without the associations the city would be faced with how to manage the park houses. He expected there would be still be demand to use the space, and doubted they would be mothballed. But, he acknowledged that managing the rental and maintenance of the properties would place an additional burden on his department, which currently budgets only $5,500 for the park houses, which is itself a peculiar measure of the value of the associations.
STUDENT LOANS from page 2 rates on the loans would double to 6.8 percent for new loans beginning July 1, this Sunday, for 7.4 million students the government estimates would get such loans over the next year. That increase, should it occur, would not affect loans currently held by students. The higher rate would cost the average student an extra $1,000 over the life of the loan, which typically takes more than a decade to repay. White House press secretary Jay Carney issued a statement expressing support for the agreement, adding, “We hope that Congress will complete the legislative process and send a bill to the president as soon as possible.” About $5 billion of the measure’s $6 billion cost would come from Democratic pension-related proposals, including a change in how companies compute the money they must set aside to fund their pensions. The change would make their contributions more consistent year to year and in effect lower them — which business desires — and result in fewer corporate tax deduc-
tions for those payments. In addition, fees that companies pay to have their pensions insured by the quasi-government Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. would rise to reflect increases in inflation. The remaining funds would come from a GOP plan to limit federal subsidies for Stafford loans for undergraduates to six years. Currently, the government charges no interest while students are still in school, even if it takes them longer than six years to graduate. The financing was described by Senate Democratic and GOP aides who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the emerging agreement. Asked if Boehner would sign off on the agreement, spokesman Michael Steel said, “We’ll take a look.” The pension money was also being discussed as way to finance an extension of federal transportation programs, which expire this weekend. Leaders were hoping agreement on both bills could be approved before Congress leaves town for its July 4 break at week’s end.
Public restrooms & small park on downtown Laconia to do list By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Downtown TIF (tax increment financing) Advisory Board this week told the City Council that it begun seeking an landscape design firm to prepare conceptual designs for four projects it seeks to undertake downtown. Kevin Dunleavy, director of Parks and Recreation, told the councilors that the projects included a small park at the junction of Pleasant Street and Main Street, construction of public restrooms, improved landscaping in conjunction with the reconstruction of the Main Street Bridge and reconfiguration of the lot housing the old police station on Church Street. He said that these projects were identified as priorities in the course of a public meeting earlier this year. With conceptual designs, Dunleavy explained, estimates of the cost of the projects could be prepared, enabling the board to develop a formal presentation of its recommendations to the council. Tax increment financing allows municipalities to define TIF districts,
then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by the construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to either provide funds or service borrowings for public improvements within it. Half of the incremental property tax revenues will be reinvested in the downtown TIF district and half deposited in the general fund. Finance Director Donna Woodaman projected the fund would have a balance of approximately $275,000 as of July 1. The boundaries of the downtown TIF district enclose an area roughly ringed by Fair Street, New Salem Street, Church Street, Union Avenue and Court Street and divided by Main Street, running from Pine Street in the south to Oak Street in the north. The district included 287 properties spread over 145 acres, which together represented a total assessed value of more than $70-million when the district was established in 2004. Since then the city has approved a TIF district in Lakeport and a third TIF district is contemplated at the Weirs.

Weekend fire interrupts child’s birthday party at Weirs Beach home By Gail Ober
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A Saturday evening fire likely caused by an electrical problem left a family temporarily without a home in the Weirs. Fire Chief Ken Erickson said firefighters were called to Endicott Street North by one of the people who were attending a child’s birthday party at the home of Larry and Brandi Baldi. He said Lt. Lisa Baldini’s said she could see smoke when she left the Weirs Station and when she arrived about three minutes later saw flames coming from the attic and called for a first alarm. “There was literally a yard full of people,” said Erickson on Monday. He indicated firefighters had “some tense moments” until they verified everyone was out of the house. He said one of the initial challenges came immediately after firefighters entered the home, which is about 120feet long. He said Baldini and a second firefighter had to drag a hose through the length of the house and double back down a hall before they could get to the door that led to the attic. “Once they got into the attic, the bulk of the fire was knocked down pretty quickly,” Erickson said. He said a second tense moment came when Gilford Firefighter Mike Adams fell through the attic ceiling and sprained his knee. “When you hear that ‘mayday call’ of firefighter down, your heart just stops,” he said. “The humidity made this a very difficult fire to fight,” he said, noting they rotated firefighters in 15-minute intervals and called for addtional
personnel to help with overhauling the home. Erickson said they treated Franklin Firefighter Spencer Burbank for heat exhaustion. He said he and Fire Inpsector Charlie Roffo are still evaluating the damage which includes damage to the wiring, the kitchen, the roof and the insulation between the first floor and the attic. He also said the fire appears to be accidental. “We found a 40 amp breaker had blown but are stilling investigating the actual cause,” Erickson said. This is the second fire to strike the Baldi family in less than two years. On September 10, 2010, the nearby Wide Open Saloon, owned by Brandi Baldi, was gutted in an overnight four-alarm blaze that he also said appeared accidental and was caused by a light bulb that appeared to have ignited some flammable material. In the interim, Brandi Baldi has battled the city and her neighbors who have complained of the slow pace in tearing the charred building down; the N.H. Fire Marshal’s Office that won’t release any details about the fire to her and her insurer, LLoyds London, Inc. who initially refused to pay the insurance claim. According to the Merrimack County Clerk of Courts, her suit against Lloyds has been closed, although the details are sealed. The N.H. Supreme Court ruled the Fire Marshal, because he has said the possibility of criminal charges exists, doesn’t have to reveal the details of its investigation. Her appeal of the city of Laconia’s order to tear down the building is pending before the N.H. Supreme Court.

DEBBY from page 2 one of its water parks closed because of the soggy, windy weather. Also, Sea World closed early on Monday. Along the Florida Panhandle, where Debby sat offshore nearly motionless for days, the parking lot at the 100-room Buccaneer Inn was empty because of a power outage ahead of the usually big pre-July Fourth weekend. “We’ve had bad luck on this island,” said the inn’s vice president, JoAnn Shiver. “We’ve had Dennis. We’ve had Katrina. We had the oil spill.” In a state where the biggest attractions are the sand and the sun, Debby forced many to make other plans. Douglas and Carolyn Green of Nashville, Tenn., were supposed to spend a week on St. George Island with three generations of family, but arrived to find the electricity was out and the bridge closed to non-residents for fear of looters. They spent Monday night in nearby Apalachicola, and then all nine relatives headed to Fort Walton Beach. “We never saw the island,” said Douglas Green. “We’re moving on. Plan B, I guess you’d call it.” Debby finally blew ashore Tuesday afternoon near Steinhatchee in the Big Bend area, the crook of Florida’s elbow. At that point, it had sustained winds near 40 mph, barely a tropical storm hours before it was downgraded. By Tuesday evening, Debby was 25 miles north of Cedar Key and was moving east-northeast at 6 mph. Forecasters said the center of Debby should be crossing the northern Florida peninsula during the next 24 hours and head into the Atlantic on Wednesday afternoon. They said tropical stormforce winds were possible over parts of the Gulf coast on Tuesday night. Several areas in northern Florida have received more than 10 inches of
rain, and forecasters said southeastern Georgia could expect the same. Wakulla, an area in northwestern Florida known for camping and canoeing, had gotten more than 26 inches as of Tuesday. A woman was killed in a tornado spun off from the storm, and a man disappeared in the rough surf over the weekend in Alabama. The storm has knocked out power to 250,000 homes and business since it began over the weekend, but electricity had been restored to all but about 35,000 customers. Debby has caused mostly scattered flooding, but forecasters warned it could get worse. “Even though the winds are coming down, the rain threat continues,” said James Franklin at the hurricane center. “We expect another 4 to 8 inches, in some of these areas up in north Florida, in particular.” President Barack Obama called Florida Gov. Rick Scott and promised the state will have “no unmet needs” as it deals with the flooding, White House spokesman Jay Carney said. In New Port Richey, a suburb about 30 miles north of Tampa, most of the 170-plus elevated homes at the Suncoast Gateway park for retirees had water underneath them. Several dozen homeowners decided to stay, despite having no electricity or tap water. Some of those who left returned by kayak to collect their belongings. Luisa Santoro decided to flee on Tuesday. Wearing rubber boots, she returned briefly to get her cat. “My cat is atop the furniture,” she said in Spanish, adding that her home was dry but that she feared a swollen retention pond nearby would rise further. Portions of Interstate 10, the main east-west highway across northern Florida, were shut down because of flooding.
EGYPT from page 2 “The country lived for so long in corruption. No single party can take full responsibility” for tackling the nation’s problems, she said, adding that Morsi is serious about appointing a Christian and a woman as vice presidents and including a range of political factions in the Cabinet. Morsi was declared the winner Sunday of the first free presidential election in Egypt’s modern history, becoming the first Islamist and the first civilian to hold the office. Since then, backdoor negotiations on a power-sharing agreement between Islamists and the ruling military council have been ongoing. The deeply polarizing race pitted Morsi against Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq. Many liberals who drove the uprising, as well as women and minority Christians were despondent over the choice between a vestige of the old regime and a candidate they fear might impose stricter Islamic law in Egypt and limit personal freedoms. In an effort to assuage those fears, Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood have floated the names of respected liberals, women and Christians to join his government. Among them is former nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei, a leading prodemocracy advocate. Critics say the Muslim Brotherhood, which dominated in both parliamentary and presidential elections, is
power hungry. They warn that if the Brotherhood does not create a broadbased government, it alone will be blamed for failing to fix the battered economy, surging crime and deteriorating social conditions in Egypt after a tumultuous transition to democratic rule. “Morsi promised that the prime minister post will be assigned to an independent, not because the Brotherhood loves independents but because they fear failure,” said Mohammed el-Gebbah, a former Brotherhood member. “The burden is too heavy and they want someone to carry it with them.” There are already disputes boiling between some revolutionary factions and the Brotherhood, with one prominent activist calling for a march to the presidential palace this week dubbed “Beer is our right” to protest any attempt by the new president to impose a religious state. “We are happy to begin the path of getting rid of military fascism, but we also reject religious fascism,” Ahmed el-Bahar wrote in a Facebook posting. “If we don’t seize our rights and practice them now, we will slowly turn into the Brotherhood state.” On his second day at work at the presidential palace, Morsi invited protesters injured during the uprising and the families of those who were slain, and was photographed kissing their foreheads. He listened to their demands to hold retrials of old regime members implicated in the killings.
Red Sox score late to beat Blue Jays 5-1 BOSTON (AP) — Jarrod Saltalamacchia gave the Boston Red Sox a little momentum, and that was all it took to topple the Toronto Blue Jays. The slugger hit a tying solo homer with two out in the seventh inning and the Red Sox rallied to beat the Blue Jays 5-1 on Tuesday night. Saltalamacchia’s line drive to left off reliever Jason Frasor just cleared the Green Monster for his 14th homer, tying it at 1. The Red Sox then loaded the bases on a double, a hit batter and a walk before Dustin Pedroia drove in two with a single up the middle. Saltalamacchia is already closing in on his career high of 16 homers, set two years ago when he shared catching duties with former captain Jason Varitek. “He’s playing a confident brand of baseball because he believes in himself and he’s a talented player,” manager Bobby Valentine said. “Some things that might have haunted his past just seem to be gone and he’s just playing the game of baseball. Looks good doing it.” Adrian Gonzalez and Will Middlebrooks each drove in a run in the eighth and Boston’s bullpen completed a solid start by Daisuke Matsuzaka, helping the Red Sox win for the eighth time in 10 games. “I feel like any given night, it’s someone different,” said Mike Aviles, who drew a rare walk to load the bases in the seventh for Pedroia. “Every night you never know who’s going to be the hero and that makes the game intriguing for us.”
The rally spoiled a strong performance by Aaron Laffey in his first start in nearly two years. Laffey stepped in for Toronto’s depleted rotation and pitched six crisp innings, allowing three hits with two walks. Laffey retired 12 straight batters after Aviles’ leadoff single in the first. “Aaron Laffey pitched a heck of a six innings for us,” manager John Farrell said. “He gave us six outstanding innings — shutout innings. We were up 1-0.” But that isn’t enough at Fenway Park, where the Red Sox had been struggling earlier but improved to 6-2 on a nine-game homestand that wraps up Wednesday afternoon against the Blue Jays. Andrew Miller (2-0) recorded an out in the seventh to pick up the win. Vicente Padilla pitched a perfect eighth, striking out two and setting up Alfredo Aceves for a 1-2-3 ninth. After Saltalamacchia went deep, pinch-hitter Ryan Kalish doubled to right against Luis Perez (2-2). David Pauley came out of the bullpen and hit Daniel Nava with a pitch. Pauley then walked Aviles and Pedroia’s hit made it 3-1. “It seems like it’s been so long since he’s been in that opportunity late in the game where he could win the game,” Valentine said. “It presented itself and he drove the runs in. That really gives us strength.” Matsuzaka went 5 2-3 innings, allowing five hits. He struck out five and walked one.
Ontario crews dismantle mall to get at roof collapse victims ELLIOT LAKE, Ontario (AP) — Rescue crews began dismantling a partially collapsed mall late Tuesday night in this northern Ontario city in an effort to rescue victims despite fading hopes of finding anyone alive. Officials used heavy equipment to clear a path from outside the building to resume rescue efforts stalled over fears the unstable structure could further collapse, leaving rescuers trapped inside the mall. Rescuers detected breathing inside the rubble early Monday, but authorities enraged local residents when they called off work later that day. One death was confirmed after part of the mall’s roof collapsed Saturday afternoon, and another person is known to be still inside. Bill Neadles, a spokesman for the Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team, said the building was not secure enough to send rescue teams back in at this point but said some heavy machinery from a private company would be employed. Dan Hefky, the province’s community safety commissioner, had said a giant robotic arm would drop into the building and topple a precariously balanced escalator that has prevented rescuers from going inside, but the robotic arm was unable to reach the
unstable escalator late Tuesday. Officials moved on to shearing off the front of the mall so they can make a path. Rescue workers are on standby. “If that’s deemed safe our people will enter and deal with both of the victims that are in there,” Neadles said. Residents watched tensely as the robotic arm dismantled the facade of a mall .While some residents cheered, others expressed concern that tearing chunks from the building might jeopardize the safety of anyone clinging to life within the rubble. Many were happy that officials resumed operations more than 24 hours after they halted it, but many are questioning the delay and wondering how officials could possibly halt the operation when they had signs of life mere hours before. Neadles earlier confirmed that one of those people is dead. The other has been trapped for more than 80 hours and had not had any contact since the rescue team from the building Monday afternoon. Neadles said a doctor told them Monday, after they shut down the operation, that there was only a remote chance the person is still alive. “He was of the opinion that it was probably a very slim possibility,” Neadles said.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Darby Conley by Chad Carpenter
of your most cherished beliefs are either unproved or can’t be proved. That you still hold them dear is a tribute to the quirkiness of your delightfully complex personality. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). We are designed to gather meaning from experience. Sometimes we perceive patterns of cause and effect where there are none. Give your mind a break. Stop searching for answers and just let it be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mood alternates. At times you’ll be an open book, accessible to all who care to investigate. Other times you’ll snap shut, guarding your mysteries inside. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You direct a certain longing to the heavens. Your need to reach upward is primal. It’s inside every infant reaching for mother; it’s in the limestone blocks of the pyramids and the jet fuel of rocket ships. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Complex problems can have simple solutions. But before you try to find one, first assess whether the problem is really yours to solve. You wouldn’t want a loved one to miss the chance to handle his or her own life. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 27). You’ll advance a variety of interests this year as you systematically work your way through books, workshops and classes on the subjects that interest you. Acquiring knowledge leads to new friendships, jobs and adventures. September makes love your main focus. December brings family additions. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 1, 24, 39 and 18.
Get Fuzzy
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll have luck in group endeavors and highly structured arrangements. You’ll be able to apply what you learn almost immediately. You’ll unknowingly exert your influence on those with whom you come into casual contact. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being a trusted friend sometimes means you have to warn the one who is getting off track. You’ll do what’s right and necessary. It may be years before this is properly appreciated. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your role as the friendly one who brings people together will be highlighted. Avoid elitism in any form. In social arenas, break up the cliques by talking to outsiders. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Complex issues arise, and the easy answers won’t feel correct to you. Writing about what you believe and why is one way to steel your discipline and crystallize your wisdom. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a busy day of giving ahead of you. When you tire of taking care of others, you’ll hardly have the energy to take care of yourself. That’s when sleep is the best thing you can do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An indirectly competitive atmosphere prevails around you, and you’ll notice people competing with one another by keeping score of their children’s successes or the successes of their friends, family, company or even their pets. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re through researching, wondering and asking questions. It’s time to make a firm decision. The ambivalence has to go if you’re to move forward quickly and with a smile on your face. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, June 27, 2012— Page 19
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, June 27, the 179th day of 2012. There are 187 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 27, 1942, the FBI announced the arrests of eight Nazi saboteurs who had been put ashore in Florida and Long Island, N.Y. (All were tried and sentenced to death; six were executed while two were spared for having turned themselves in and cooperating with U.S. authorities.) On this date: In 1787, English historian Edward Gibbon completed work on his six-volume work, “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.” In 1844, Mormon leader Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were killed by a mob in Carthage, Ill. In 1846, New York and Boston were linked by telegraph wires. In 1893, the New York stock market crashed. In 1922, the first Newberry Medal, recognizing excellence in children’s literature, was awarded in Detroit to “The Story of Mankind” by Hendrik Willem van Loon. In 1944, during World War II, American forces liberated the French port of Cherbourg from the Germans. In 1950, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution calling on member nations to help South Korea repel an invasion from the North. In 1957, more than 500 people were killed when Hurricane Audrey slammed through coastal Louisiana and Texas. In 1972, the video game company Atari, Inc., was founded by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney in Santa Clara, Calif. In 1977, the Supreme Court struck down state laws and bar association rules that prohibited lawyers from advertising their fees for routine services. In 1985, the legendary Route 66, which originally stretched from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif., passed into history as officials decertified the road. In 1991, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first black to sit on the nation’s highest court, announced his retirement. (His departure led to the contentious nomination of Clarence Thomas to succeed him.) One year ago: Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was convicted by a federal jury in Chicago of a wide range of corruption charges, including the allegation that he’d tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’ve been a stepmother to two lovely girls, now 12 and 17, since they were very young. My husband gladly pays child support on time without fail. The girls have different mothers who raise their children in opposite ways, yet in both cases, it’s rare that the child support actually reaches the child. The amount of child support each mother receives is fair, but is being used incorrectly. The girls continuously need clothes, shoes, haircuts, coats, money for school activities, you name it. It’s like my husband is paying child support twice for each child. My question is this: If the conversation falls on deaf ears with both mothers, is it OK to explain the financial situation to the girls? My husband doesn’t want to talk money with them, and I don’t want to badmouth their mothers, but I’m tired of being broke. What’s my role? -- North Carolina Stepmom Dear Stepmom: To be supportive. Do not involve the children in your dispute over child support. This is not their fault, and they shouldn’t be put in the middle of unhappy parents. If your husband feels the support payments are not being used to cover the girls’ necessities, he needs to document what he spends for these things and then talk to his lawyer and ask that the support payments be reduced. Dear Annie: I am a 28-year-old mother of two beautiful children. I have an aunt who suffers from various conditions, and over the years, she has been put on several medications. Three years ago, her oldest son died in a car accident. Her middle child recently had a bout with cancer. Things have not been easy. I have watched her physical and mental health spiral downward. Some days she’s fine, and other days she never leaves her bed. My kids have a hard time understanding what she says, and sometimes she babbles on about nonsense and odd things. How do I get my family some help? -- Fighting for
My Family Dear Family: Please tell your children that “Aunt Bee” is not well, and teach them how to be tolerant and compassionate. If she is taking a variety of medications and is babbling and talking nonsense, it is very possible that she is overmedicated or needs to check the dosages and interactions. Whoever is in charge of her medical care should address this with her doctor. If no one is in charge, please offer to make an appointment and accompany her, and ask whether it’s OK to speak to the doctor on her behalf. She also sounds like she could benefit from grief therapy. Bless you for caring enough to handle this. Dear Annie: I think you missed a major point in the letter from “Bride-To- Be,” whose future mother-in-law wanted her to ask a cousin to be a bridesmaid. Bridesmaids are the bride’s decision. If she lets her future mother-in-law get her way now, think what she could do in the future. The mother-in-law was rude to make the suggestion in the first place, and she should apologize. The fiance ought to put his foot down now and not let his mother dictate what his future wife should do. I say nip it in the bud. -- Omaha, Neb. Dear Omaha: A lot of readers agree with you, but we don’t. A wedding is a time to blend families together. A considerate bride will include members of her future husband’s family in her wedding party, especially if both her fiance and his mother would like it. Mom may turn out to be a bully -- it’s too early to say -- but the bride’s default position should not be “no” to every single request simply because she is afraid Mom will overstep. When Mom doesn’t respect boundaries, it’s fine to say so. But otherwise, there is nothing wrong with occasionally accommodating someone your spouse loves. It shows maturity and grace.
