Judge rejects plea bargain for accused bedtime burglar
LACONIA — A Belknap County Superior Court judge rejected a proposed plea deal with the second of two men who police and prosecutors say were the bedtime burglars who scared Lakes Region residents with their break ins of local homes while the residents slept. Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen said Spencer Mullarkey, 32, had agreed to plead guilty to 11 see PLEA page 11

Meredith police investigating stoning of ducklings near town beach BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Police are investigating a claim that some teenage boys threw stones at a nest of ducklings at Waukewan Beach Monday afternoon, nearly killing one of them. A woman who lives nearby said she went down for a swim about 3:30 p.m. and saw four boys she said she were about 15-years-
old throwing the stones at what she knew to be a duck nest. She said one boy was already swimming away and one boy ran away but two stayed and she confronted them. “I overheard one kid say, ‘Oh I think I got it in the back,’” said the woman who asked not to be identified. She said one of the boys also picked up the injured duckling and tossed it in the
lake but it washed up to shore and the woman was able to rescue it. She said both of its legs were broken and and there was a “big dent” it its back. She said the mother duck was able to swim away with her other five chicks safely in tow. Yesterday afternoon she took the duckling, that she said was about about six see DUCKLINGS page 11

GILFORD — Selectmen told Scott Miller of Miller Amusements that he should wait and schedule a carnival at the Walmart Plaza for dates other than in late July because town ordinances require a public hearing that couldn’t be scheduled until July 11 at the earliest. Miller had applied for a special entertainment permit after he was contacted by W.S. Development — the people who own the plaza above Lake Shore Road. “The owners came to us and were looking for some additional income,” Miller said. W.S. Developments had wanted the carnival for July 26 through July 29 and Miller said it would have occupied most of the parking lot in front of what see CARNIVAL page 12

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II and a former Irish Republican Army commander offered each other the hand of peace Wednesday in a long-awaited encounter symbolizing Northern Ireland’s progress in achieving reconciliation after decades of violence. The monarch and Martin McGuinness met privately inside Belfast’s riverside Lyric Theatre during a crosscommunity arts event featuring Northern Ireland musicians, poets and artists. Media were barred from seeing their first handshake during an ice-breaker over coffee and tea. But the two shook hands again a half-hour later for the cameras’ benefit, documenting a moment that would have been inconceivable back in the days when IRA leaders were plotting to kill the British royal family. McGuinness’ Irish nationalist Sinn Fein party had never attended a royal function before. Underlying the sensitivity of the occasion, no live footage or sound was permitted to be broadcast. Outside, flak-jacketed police see QUEEN page 5

Obama expresses confidence the court will uphold his signature legislative initiative. But he won’t be shocked if a conservative majority overturns the most controversial provision, those familiar with his thinking say. Romney aides say the Republican candidate will get a political boost if the court strikes down the measure. But they don’t want celebrations that could alienate voters who could lose health care benefits through the decision. Neither candidate has any direct influence over the decision. The court may
uphold the health care law, strike it down or deem the requirement that most Americans carry health insurance unconstitutional while keeping other aspects in place. The ruling is expected to be followed almost immediately by a barrage of advertisements and fundraising appeals from Democrats and Republicans, with both sides trying to cast the decision in the most advantageous light for its candidate.

EXETER (AP) — The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services says another patient who used the cardiac catheterization lab at the Exeter Hospital and its recovery room has tested positive for hepatitis C. The latest case brings to 21 the number of
people associated with the lab to have tested positive for the blood-borne liver disease. State health officials suspect a lab employee’s misuse of drugs led to the outbreak. Health Director Dr. Jose Montero says more than 1,000 samples from Exeter patients have been tested.
Meanwhile, almost 100 people attended a meeting at Exeter Town Hall on Tuesday to learn more about the disease itself. Many of those attending were Exeter Hospital patients who have been tested, but are still waiting to hear if they were infected.

Voter ID & biz tax credits for scholarships prevail on N.H. veto day
CONCORD (AP) — Voter identification and education tax credits for businesses were among the victories scored by the Republican-led Legislature when it tackled Democrat Gov. John Lynch’s vetoes on Wednesday. Voters in the state will now have to provide photo ID at the polls and sign a document when they register saying New Hampshire is their home state. And busi-
nesses will be allowed to get tax credits for donating to scholarship organizations to send students to private or public schools. Lawmakers needed a two-thirds majority to override Lynch’s vetoes. One vote that fell short was on a bill that would legalize the home cultivation of marijuana for medical purposes. Another that didn’t survive was a “right to publicity” bill motivated by J.D. Salinger’s family. It would

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barely four months before the nation votes, one of the biggest factors in the fight for the White House still is a mystery. That will change on Thursday. The Supreme Court’s expected ruling on President Barack Obama’s sweeping federal health care law will shape the contours of the presidential campaign through the summer and fall. Both Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney are primed to use the ruling — whatever it is — for political gain.

LACONIA — Funspot opened its doors as The Weirs Sports Center on the second floor of Tarlson’s Arcade, just across the street from the Weirs Boardwalk on June 27, 1952 as an indoor miniature golf course and penny arcade. Bob Lawton, then just 21, and a recent graduate of Norwich University with a degree in chemistry, had boorowed $750 from his grandmother to start, along with his brother, John, the attraction which 60 years later is has grown into the world’s largest arcade. Yesterday Funspot marked it’s 60th anniversary with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in the same building and the same doorway that it held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for in 1965 when it opened its pool hall at the new location on Rte. 3 North it had moved to the previous year. Speaking at the gathering, which brought together city officials, local businessmen and many families, Lawton said that he and his brother grew up as ‘’Weirs kids’’, spending their summers at their grandfather’s house right next to Irwin’s Winnipesaukee Garden, and that his first real job was
working for the legendary Jim Irwin as a teenager, eventually running the Bingo Hall there from 1947 until 1951. ‘’He was a great guy, the greatest guy I ever met,’’ said Lawton, who described the growth of Funspot over the years and how it had changed many times in order to keep providing the kind of attractions that people wanted, ‘’We’ve changed according to what people want to do,’’ said Lawton, who said that mechanical pinball games were the early staple of the business, which underwent a sea change when video games came along in the late 1970s. ‘’In 1986 we wanted to put in addition for the video games but the bank turned us down. We went ahead and did it anyway and paid for it in one year. You couldn’t keep people out of here back then,’’ Lawton recalled. The following year saw another addition that brought the bumper cars inside and in 1988 an $850,000 bowling center, featuring both ten-pin and candlepin, was built. But by 1990 the video game boom was over, brought see next page

from preceding page on by the advent of home computer games, and Funspot responded by adding new attractions in the 1990s, including the D.A. Long Tavern, which was built when league bowling started in 1996, as well as 400-seat bingo hall. In 1999 Funspot hosted its first Classic Game Video Tournament, which features pre-1987 games, and was officially named the “Largest Arcade in the World” by Guinness World Records at the 10th Annual International Classic Video Game and Pinball Tournament, held there in 2008.. It’s third floor now houses the American Classic Arcade Museum, the brain child of Gary Vincent, operations manager at Funspot and a 31-year employee. Funspot has over 500 video games, 300 of which are housed in the museum. Lawton said that Funspot has always been a family business and that his nephews Steve and Randy Lawton, along with his daugher, Sandra, and granddaughter Starr, continue to play key roles in managing and maintaining Funspot. His son, David, with whom he
served in the state legislature, manages The Weirs Times, a free weekly newspaper which the family started in 1992, and another daughter, Donna Carlucci, is an advertising consultant with the newspaper. It was another son, Tim, who now runs a tugboat service in Florida, who helped spur the formation of The Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society and Lake Winnipesaukee Museum, after he located the davit of the sidewheel steamer The Mount Washington, while scuba diving in Weirs Bay in 1985. The museumis located at the former Bridges Motel property next to Funspot. Lawton, 81, who continues to work every day at Funspot said that recently a friend said to him ‘’why don’t you retire and have some fun?’’ to which he replied ‘’How can you have more fun that at Funspot?’’ He said that he’s most happy when he sees young kids come in and enjoy Funspot and encourages people to stop by and say hello. ‘’Don’t ever hesitate to talk to me. We’ll reminisce together about the good times people have had here,’’ says Lawton.

QUEEN from page 2 shut down all roads surrounding the theater and told residents to stay inside their homes. Both smiled broadly as McGuinness took the queen’s white-gloved hand and spoke to her for about 5 seconds. Afterward McGuinness said he had told her in Gaelic — a language neither of them speaks — “Slán agus beannacht” and told her this meant “goodbye and godspeed.” The latter word actually means “blessing.” The 86-year-old head of state, resplendent in a suit and broad-brimmed hat of matching apple green, didn’t speak but kept smiling as she shared a stage with a man linked to the killing of her cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten. Experts on Irish republicanism say McGuinness, 62, was the IRA’s chief of staff when the outlawed group blew up Mountbatten’s yacht in 1979, killing the 79-year-old and three others. McGuinness quickly left afterward. “It went really well. I’m still a republican,” he said in response to a report-

chauffeur-driven government car. The queen — in Belfast officially to celebrate her 60th year on the throne with an open-air party attended by more than 20,000 royalists overwhelmingly from the Protestant majority — also received a gift from Northern Ireland’s unity government that McGuinness leads alongside a Protestant, Peter Robinson. Their unlikely but surprisingly stable coalition is the central achievement flowing from Northern Ireland’s 1998 peace agreement and the IRA’s 2005 decision to renounce violence and disarm. But McGuinness stepped back as Robinson presented the gift, a delicate woven porcelain basket made by renowned Northern Ireland pottery firm Belleek. Sinn Fein officials said they didn’t want McGuinness pictured offering a present to the queen. The event marked the latest, perhaps ultimate, moment in Northern Ireland peacemaking that has delivered a series of once-unthinkable

Our intervention in Islamist world has gained us what? Sixteen months after the United States abandoned its loyal satrap of 30 years, President Hosni Mubarak, to champion democracy in Egypt, the returns are in. Mohammed Morsi, candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, is president of Egypt, while the military has dissolved the elected parliament that was dominated by the Brotherhood, and curbed his powers. The military and the mullahs will fight for the future of a country that is home to one in four Arabs. The soldiers who have dominated Egypt since the ouster of King Farouk in 1952 show no willingness to surrender what they have long controlled of the state and economy. Yet in the long run, the Brotherhood — whose claim to guide the nation’s destiny is rooted in a faith 1,400 years old — is likely to prevail. In Syria, the uprising against Bashar Assad appears headed for civil war, with atrocities on both sides. Some 10,000 are estimated to have died, a far bloodier affair than Egypt. And here, too, the day of the Brotherhood, massacred in the thousands by Bashar’s father in Hama, seems not far off. Witnessing what is happening in these critical Arab countries and across the region, one is tempted to ask: What are the fruits of three decades of compulsive U.S. intervention in the Islamic world? Ronald Reagan put Marines in Lebanon to support an embattled Beirut regime and saw 241 of them massacred in their barracks. In 1986, he ordered air strikes on Libya in retaliation for the bombing of a Berlin nightclub frequented by GIs. Reagan was paid back in his final days in office when Moammar Gadhafi’s killers blew up Pan Am 103, scattering the bodies of U.S. school kids over the Lockerbie landscape. George H.W. Bush launched Desert Storm to rescue Kuwait from Saddam Hussein and restore the emir. After five weeks of air war and 100 hours of ground combat, Bush triumphed. He then imposed an embargo-blockade on Iraq and transferred thousands of U.S. troops onto Saudi soil that is home to Mecca and Medina. Two of the causes of his attack on 9/11, said Osama bin Laden, were the U.S. strangulation of Iraq and the defiling of Islam’s sacred soil by infidel U.S. troops. George W. Bush answered 9/11 by invading Afghanistan, driving out the Taliban and al-Qaida, and staying on to build a more secular, democratic and pluralistic nation. He then invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam and convert that country into a model Arab democracy and strategic base camp for the United States in the Middle East. What did those wars cost? What did they accomplish? Some 6,500 U.S. dead, 40,000 wounded, $1 to $2-trillion sunk.
Tens of thousands of Afghan and 100,000 Iraqi dead, with widows and orphans numbering over 500,000. Half the Christians of Iraq have fled their homes, and half of these have fled the country in which their ancestors had lived almost since the time of Christ. Neither Afghanistan nor Iraq can be regarded as a loyal ally or defender of U.S. interests. Pakistan, a country of 170-million with atomic weapons and an ally through 40 years of Cold War, has been converted into an embittered and even hostile nation. The U.S.-NATO intervention in Libya brought about the dethroning and death of Gadhafi. It also resulted in the expulsion of Tuareg tribesmen who had served Gadhafi as mercenaries. Back in Mali, they have joined rebels to effect the secession of a slice of Mali the size of France, which is now becoming a haven for al-Qaida. When one considers the investment America has made in the Middle East — the dead and wounded from our wars, the trillions lost in fighting and foreign aid, the endless time and attention of our leaders, scholars, journalists — what do we have to show for it? From the Maghreb to the Middle East to Afghanistan, Christians are as isolated and imperiled as they have been in centuries. The Israelis now have as neighbors: Hezbollah to the north, an embittered, segregated Palestinian population of 2-million to the east, Hamas to the south and to the west an Egypt of 80-million that has just passed into the custody of the Muslim Brotherhood. And among those seeking to bring down Assad are not only Americans, Turks, Saudis and Qatari, but al-Qaida, the principal suspect in the terror bombings of Aleppo and Damascus, and the Muslim Brotherhood, which owes the Assad family a blood debt. If Assad falls and Sunnis seize power and pursue their slogan — “Christians to Beirut and Alawites to the tomb” — a prediction: A return of the Golan Heights taken by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War will top the agenda of the new Damascus regime. And now John McCain is calling for air strikes on Damascus and Bibi Netanyahu and his neocon allies have Tehran in their gun sights. What exactly have we gained from 30 years of interventions in the Middle East — that China lost out on by staying out?

LETTERS No reason for library not to allow ‘passive’ political activity To the editor, On June 2nd I sent the letter below to the chair of the Moultonborough Library Trustees (Phyllis Prouty, with a copy to the director, Nancy McCue). At their meeting in June they elected not to change their policy but agreed to bring it up again at the July meeting. It would appear that at least some of the trustees would like to dig in, as it is my understanding they asked the town for money to go to the town attorney We feel that they must change the policy and will continue to pursue it and we would certainly appreciate your support by showing up at the next trustees meeting on Thursday July 12 at 10 am. “Dear Ms. Prouty: I am sending this letter to you and I am requesting that it be read to the other members of the Library Board of Trustees, discussed and then voted upon. I am a member of the Lakes Region Tea Party and have been attending monthly meetings ever since it was formed early last year. Most of our meetings are held at the Moultonborough Library. As we are coming upon the November elections, we have begun to ask people who are running for office to come speak to us so that we can understand their position on the important issues. We feel it is important for us as Americans to engage in the political process as well as to vote. One of the steps in this process is to be informed of what the candidates’ positions are on the important issues. We recently found out that the Moult-
onborough Library has a rule against campaigning on the premises. We found this very unusual and, upon doing some research, found that many other nearby libraries have no such rule. After looking into it further, we found out the rule was instituted as a result of some group awhile back wanting to use the library for an “active activity”; that is, to run a phone bank for a particular candidate, making phone calls in support of that candidate and saying they were calling from the Moultonborough Library or something of that nature. While I can certainly see where that would be inappropriate (i.e., supporting a given candidate and engaging in an “ACTIVE ACTIVITY” in doing so), we do not support any one candidate and consider what we are doing as a “PASSIVE ACTIVITY” and a service to the public. We invite many candidates to come and speak to us and any other members of the public that want to attend. This would seem to be a perfectly legitimate use for a public library, and I would like to ask the trustees to reconsider the current rule so that it does not prohibit such an event. I would also appreciate this being done in a timely fashion as we have a couple additional candidates for public office already lined up and are trying to line up a few more. Thank you for considering this matter.” Robert S. Maltempo Moultonborough
Rep. Greemore made statement attributed to Rep. Accornero To the editor, My friend Rep. Harry Accornero sent me an e-mail early Thursday morning. He was concerned with a report from Adam Drapcho (Daily Sun, June 27) that attributed a quote to Harry that probably made many of his constituents angry. Rep. Accornero called me from the N.H. House to tell me that when explaining this error to his Belknap County colleagues, one of them, Rep. Greemore said, “That was me that made that statement!” Later in the day a classmate of mine, began to tell me how much he dislikes
that Harry did not make should be disregarded. I know that Mr. Drapcho does not usually cover the county delegation, and that unless you are familiar with the members one could misconstrue who said what. BTW, my classmate was not ready to accept the truth. I ask my fellow fiscal and social conservatives in Laconia, AND Belmont, to take a look at Harry Accornero for the September Primary. He is my choice! Niel Young

LETTERS State issues need to be addressed in practical & pragmatic way
Right now, Ovide Lamontagne looks like our best bet for governor
To the editor, New Hampshire is the greatest place to live, work and raise a family. I’m running for the New Hampshire State Senate because I want it to remain great. Unfortunately, over the past two years our state Legislature has been dominated by a radical group that if left unchecked threatens to destroy what makes New Hampshire great. New Hampshire is a healthy, safe and well-educated state. Our unemployment rate is 40-percent below the national average and our lack of a sales or income tax gives New Hampshire a unique advantage over other states for attracting and expanding businesses. We value and safeguard individual rights. We protect our environment. We have a strong independent streak that historically allowed us to set nonpartisan policies and settle our differences in a civil manner without outside influences. Our fiscal discipline meant New Hampshire avoided the more extreme debt crises facing so many other states. Compared to many states, and in no small part because of the leadership of Governor John Lynch, New Hampshire has fared better than most. Unfortunately today, our Legislature is controlled by the “never compromise” ideologues. To them “compromise” and “collaboration” are offensive. As a result, good bipartisan legislation dies because of their political petulance. They failed to pass a bipartisan R&D tax credit bill that would help create jobs. They slashed funding for our Community College and University System making it unaffordable and inaccessible to many. They’ve focused on eliminating Planned Parenthood, thus denying thousands of women access to cancer screenings, annual exams, and contraception. They’ve sought a constitutional amendment making educational funding discretionary. They take their marching orders from out of state groups like ALEC in working against employees’ right to bargain collectively. This “never compromise” position, which former Attorney General Phil McLaughlin aptly describes as “an offense to common sense,” is divisive, unproductive and it threatens New Hampshire’s greatness. It should be
To the editor, It’s election time again. We are being besieged by uncountable advertisements for one candidate or another wanting your vote. These slick ads are written by ad men who usually write advertisements to convince you to buy something you don’t need at a price you can’t afford. On election day we will be asked to vote for presidential as well as a state offices. We are being deluged by countless television ads extolling the virtue or defects of one candidate or other. My head is spinning already and election day is four months away! It’s too early for me to decide who will get my vote. I don’t usually make up my mind in any election until much closer to election day. In this election, like many voters, I
offensive to all constituencies, regardless of party affiliation, to be unable and unwilling to dialog or compromise. New Hampshire is better than that, and our solutions to today’s problems are solved when we begin to work together to find common sense solutions. New Hampshire’s Legislature must chart a pragmatic course focused on strengthening our economy, our communities, and our families. We need a state government that is both fiscally responsible and efficiently delivers services to those needing them. As a State Senator I will rely on my experience growing a successful business and focus on economic growth and jobs that pay a familysustaining wage. A vibrant business economy is built and supported by a well-educated workforce. As a public school and public university graduate, I know and appreciate the profound value and positive impact public education has had on me. We must fairly fund our community college and university system so it’s accessible and affordable. We must preserve state education aid to local school districts, not leaving it for the prevalent political winds to determine. It’s too important. Continuing to down-shift state expenses is detrimental to preserving and improving our healthy, safe and well educated state. The opportunity to serve is an honor and a responsibility. I believe it’s critically important to address the issues facing our state in a practical and pragmatic manner that puts the future of our state ahead of extreme political ideology. As the father of four young children, I know that if we successfully solve our current problems, my children and future generations will have the opportunity to prosper in the greatest state in the nation. Let’s stand together as New Hampshire citizens; problem solvers who care about our state’s future. If we work together we can preserve our personal freedoms, grow our economy and expand educational opportunities. As a New Hampshire State Senator I will work tirelessly to maintain the New Hampshire advantage so it can be passed to future generations. Andrew Hosmer Laconia Candidate for N.H. State Senate
Rmoney’s plan is to just start another war & then run from it To the editor, Okay, now who runs the Republican Party now. I thought Boerner and Cantor were the leaders of the party but now it seems to be the NRA and Grover Norquist who scare everybody into voting the way they want them to. No wonder nothing ever gets done by the Senate or House as they are to busy shining the shoes of the NRA. Now our country, which at one time was the greatest and most powerful country, bends over to the NRA who donate money every year and those who help them avoid paying taxes on it. What a joke. Obama is trying to cure
us from the last eight years of disease but his opponents are too busy counting and balancing their checkbooks. And you think that Romney will be your answer to all? He can’t answer any questions thrown at him before consulting with his group of thieves, then he’ll just change his mind while blaming the Democrats for his confusion. Beware Romney as his plans are to just start another war and run away from it. Give our soldiers a rest for a while they deserve it. Jon Hoyt Franklin
am particularly concerned about New Hampshire’s fiscal condition and who can best deal with it if elected. My vote will go to the gubernatorial candidate who shares my concerns and wants to do something about them. So far, I am leaning in the direction of Ovide Lamontagne. I like the fact he wants to simplify the state’s tax rules in his four step plan. You can read more about his plan (as I did) at his online site: www.Ovide2012.com. As of now, I am leaning in his direction when it is time to cast my ballot. However I have not firmly made up my mind. I will continue to closely follow his campaign as well as that of the other candidates for governor to determine who get my vote on election day. Elliot Finn Meredith

LETTERS In some ways, Pell Grants have enabled me to be a millionaire To the editor, I am not a resident of the area in which The Laconia Daily Sun is published, but I picked up the paper as I was passing through town. I found a number of articles to be of interest, for instance the letter by Russ Wiles of Tilton (his Pleistocene/Jurassic heritage) had me rolling with laughter, though I hadn’t a clue of the Mr. Veverka against whom he directed his diatribe. Diana Field of Franklin wrote of the possible closure of their local animal shelter and sent a poignant “wake-up” call to the citizens of her town suggesting that they need to hold the town responsible by addressing the tax payers as part of such decisions, and not have back-room discussions as to what is best for the bottom line of her town. There was, however, one piece to which I simply had to respond. Tony Boutin of Gilford wrote a lengthy letter purporting that Pell Grants and higher education more largely comprise “a DIRECT TAXPAYERFUNDED pipeline of money for 30 years of non stop, increases in tuition hikes, often DOUBLE the rate of inflation at every college and university in AMERICA ending in a 200-percent cost rise since just 1990.” The capitalization and punctuation are taken directly from Mr. Boutin’s letter, and is not my own errors. He then began his conclusion with, “Anyone who thinks other wise is an idiot, complete fool or a Democrat.” Again, this statement quoted directly from the paper. To his letter I have a quick, but I believe pertinent response: I am coming into my third year as a single mother pursuing higher education much later in life. If it were not for Pell Grants, Mr. Boutin, and for the scholarships I receive from Springfield College for maintaining a 3.8 GPA, I would not be working on my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services. State agencies do not accept Associate’s degrees, so anyone who wants
to improve themselves and make a difference in this field need to have a Bachelor’s degree to even obtain an interview. The system may not be perfect — my tuition has increased, and certainly I will be paying my student loans for many years — but what have I gained? Well, Mr. Boutin, I am in the Human Service field, so certainly I will not be rich monetarily. However, college has given me better self-esteem, has provided me the opportunity to meet and become involved with intellectually rich, warm and passionate people also in Human Services, as well as have instruction, guidance and support from what I believe to be the savviest instructors/professors available. In this area, Mr. Boutin I am already a millionaire, and because of my background, I have empathy, which I lavish upon you. Before one puts words to print or judges so harshly those around him qualifying for Pell Grants “PLAYING the government FOR FREE MONEY has become a full-time GAME IN AMERICA”, one must question the purpose. Mr. Boutin addresses this as an “idiot, complete fool or Democrat(ic)” affair which lends itself to be a political writing in favor of the Republican Romney, who has advised audiences of high school students, “Ask your parents for money, start a business, take the risk.” How does one start a business without education? How many people have parents affluent enough to support such an endeavor? Statements completely out of touch in regard to the devoured middle-class further drive the necessity to remain in the Human Service field. I am registered and always have been an independent. Thank-you Mr. Boutin, I do know where my vote will be cast this November. We most certainly have precious little other than our humanity in common! THANK YOU (these capitals are all mine) Kathleen Welcome Groveton

Commissioners appalled by reaction of some reps to request for jail appropriation BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Belknap County commissioners dug in their heels Wednesday morning as they defended their request for a supplemental appropriation of $185,000 to hire a consulting firm to help design programs that would lead to a decrease in the county jail population. The issue will come up again on July 16 at a recessed meeting of the County Convention, which Monday night voted 8-7 to authorize the hiring of a consultant but only if the money comes from the current year’s budget. That meeting had been recessed after doubts were raised about the legality of the vote, which commissioners maintain infringes on their power over the operating budget. Commission Chairman Ed Philpot, who was not at Monday night’s meeting, said ‘’they can’t tell us how to spend the money’’ and, after hearing from County Administrator Debra Shackett that taking funds from the present budget would mean a budget freeze, said that if the delegation won’t step up to the plate and pass a supplemental appropriation this year, commissioners will put the request in next year’s budget and ‘’wait for a new delegation’’ to approve it. Commissioners are, however, still hoping to convince members of the House delegation to approve the supplemental funding this year and keep the ball rolling on plans to build a new county jail. ‘’We’re stuck in the mud on this,’’ said Commissioner Steve Nedeau, who said that the commission had worked closely with the delegation over the last two years and that he is surprised that delegation members are still asking questions which he says were answered two years ago. ‘’We’ve done everything possible to keep them informed. It disturbs me that there was such a negative tone to Monday night’s meeting,’’ he said, adding that he was ‘’not enthused about going back to the delegation.’’ Shackett explained that taking money from this year’s budget to pay
for the consultant ‘’would at least mean a budget freeze, which would be debilitating,’’ and said that the budget which the delegation had approved was very lean. Commissioner John Thomas said that he felt that at Monday night’s meeting that Shackett had taken ‘’a lot of abuse,’’ from some members of the delegation. ‘’I felt it was uncalled for’’ he said, adding that he too was reluctant to again deal with the convention. Philpot was incensed by suggestions made by some members of the delegation that they weren’t aware of problems at the county jail and that the commissioners don’t have a plan for dealing with it. ‘’That’s flat out not true. Either they’re not listening or they don’t understand. What it looks like is that there are some members with a listening problem,’’ said Philpot. Commissioners say the $160,000 of the $185,000 requested would be used 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,to pay for at least part of the project’s anticipated architectural fees. A previously hired consultant, David Bennett, studied the county jail and found that Belknap County’s jail population increased by 114-percent during an eight-year 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, which might leave convicted persons in a better see next page

Register of Deeds reaches agreement with commission over money handling LACONIA — The Belknap County Commission Wednesday approved a proposed settlement in its legal action which sought to compel Register of Deeds Barbara Luther to comply with the recommendations of an independent auditor to close the registry’s bank accounts and deposit the taxes and fees it collects directly into the county general fund. The settlement, which was reached through mediation, still needs to gain clearance from the state Division of Revenue Administration before it is submitted to the presiding justice in Belknap County Superior Court. It
would allow the existing checking account used by the Register of Deeds to be continued and requires that any checks or withdrawals from that account be signed by the Register of Deeds and the Belknap County treasurer. It also establishes procedures for the daily handling of payments and operations at the office. Commissioners said the settlement is consistent with recommended best accounting practices and removes a negative comment from the county audit. — Roger Amsden
Bike wrecks at foot of Weirs Beach sign
LACONIA — A Gilford man was airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is Lebanon last night for treatment of injuries he received in a motorcyle accident at the foot of the iconic Weirs Beach sign. According to a police report, Timonth Raxter, 47 of Old Lake Shore Road was riding south on Lakeside
Avenue about 7 p.m when the motorcycle he was riding made contact with the island that holds the sign. Raxter was thrown from the bike and received what appeared to be a serious head injury. He was not wearing at safety helmet. Police say alcohol and speed do not appear to have been factors in the crash.
LACONIA — Weirs Beach was closed to swimming on Wednesday due to the presence of a high bacteria level in the water. The NHDES will be taking more tests Thursday and we the results are expected to be available Friday morning.
“We recommend that people not swim at Weirs Beach until the levels of Bacteria have gone down,” said Assistant Parks Director Amy Lovesik. For any questions, please feel free to call Laconia Parks & Recreation at 524-5046.
VETO DAY from page 2 fication will be acceptable this fall — including student IDs — but in later elections, only driver’s licenses, state-issued non-driver’s identification cards, passports or military IDs will be allowed. Those without photo identification would sign an affidavit and be photographed by an election official. Lynch said he would have been OK with a bill that allowed many types of IDs to be used, but the final version was far more restrictive than necessary. He also said the affidavit provision would cause confusion, would slow the voting process and could prevent eligible voters to cast their ballots. Lawmakers agreed to change the affidavit so it would have fewer ques-
tions, some they said election officials supported. It now goes back to Lynch to consider. “The governor will be reviewing the bill,” spokesman Colin Manning said. Opponents of the bill felt any type of affidavit would put town election moderators in a difficult position, open to lawsuits if they felt a person didn’t qualify to cast a ballot. And others felt the new qualifications would keep people away from the polls. “The whole process is to get more people involved,” said Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, who voted to uphold Lynch’s veto. “What we’re doing now is discouraging that.” The Legislature also overrode Lynch’s tax-credit veto for businesses contributing to educational programs. The bill is intended to help some public school students switch to private schools. Lynch argued the bill would allow private organizations to determine the use of public education funds and would shift limited state money away from public schools because districts would lose state education aid for each student receiving a scholarship. “No parent should be forced to send a child to school that does not meet the child’s needs,” O’Brien said. “This is good legislation to allow parents to give their children the best chance possible to succeed.

After Bennett completed his work earlier this year, the commission created a Jail Planning Committee, but Shackett told the delegation Monday 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 to do and hiring an architect,” Shackett said. “At this point, we need someone to manage this process.”

Laconia Obama campaign hosts man who lost job in bloody aftermath of purchase by Romney’s company By Michael Kitch LACONIA — In October 1994, when Mitt Romney was seeking to oust Ted Kennedy from the United State Senate, Randy Johnson, who lost his job after Bain Capital acquired the firm he worked for, drove to Boston for the Columbus Day parade to heckle him and by some accounts contributed to Kennedy’s convincing victory. Ever since Johnson, now an official with the United Steel Workers who spoke to a roomful of Democrats here yesterday, has made himself a bane of Romney’s political ambitions. In a mild, measured tone Johnson offered his experience to suggest “what Romney brings to job creation. It’s not a story,” he continued. “It’s real life. You want to forget it, but you can’t.” In 1992, Bain Capital, then headed by Romney, purchased American Pad & Paper (Ampad), a subsidiary of the Mead Corporation, with $5-million of its own cash and $35-million of borrowed money. Bain used Ampad as a vehicle to purchase and restructure similar firms then closed factories and shed employees with the aim of selling a more profitable company by means of an initial public stock offering. Two years after Bain bought Ampad it acquired SCM Office Supplies of Marion, Indiana, where Johnson worked the night shift and led the 258 union employees. When the workers returned from celebrating the Fourth of July they found a posted notice reading “As of 3 p.m. today, July 5, 1994, your employment with SCM Office Supplies Inc. will end.” “Eighteen years has passed,” Johnson said, “but you still live it.” Most employees were allowed to reapply for their jobs at lower wages and reduced benefits. For several months employees negotiated with management, then voted 156 to 14 to strike. Johnson recalled that on February 15, 1995, “in the afternoon,” management shut down the plant and dismissed all 240 employees. Returned to Bain after losing his Senate race, Romney, who met with Johnson in Boston, wrote to him expressing his regrets and assuring him that he had “tried to end the strike
privately without fanfare . . . by communicating my strong personal desire that the strike be settled and the plant remain open, offering my ideas for a possible settlement, and relaying the sentiments of the workers I met with in Boston.” However, Marc Wolpow, a managing director of Bain with a seat on Ampad’s board who reported to Romney, told a different story to the Los Angeles Times. “He (Romney) was in charge,” he said. “He could have ordered me to settle with the union. He didn’t order me to do that. He let me make decisions that would maximize the the value of the investment.” In the meantime, as Ampad continued to expand its debt swelled from $20-million to $400-million. In 1996, Bain took the firm public, raising $234-million from investors while collecting $50-million from the sale of some its own shares and charging the company $2-million for handling the public offering. After prospering briefly, Ampad, saddled with debt, began cutting costs and losing money and in 2000 filed for bankruptcy. Johnson, citing a report by Deutsche Bank, said that Bain earned $107-million on its initial $5-million investment while Ampad’s creditors received two cents on the dollar. “This was a planned bankruptcy,”Johnson remarked, adding “that’s how you make big money. Let me be clear,” he continued, “not all private equity firms do the same thing.” Likewise, he acknowledged than Bain created jobs, citing the success of Staples and Dominoes. But, Johnson declared that “this is the way Romney did business and I think we have a trust issue here.” He recalled listening to Romney speak about Bain in Tilton during the primary campaign, where he said he was “living the American dream running for president,” Johnson said “it choked me up. These were real lives who dreamed of working for a living and retiring with dignity.” Asked to distinguish between Romney and Obama in a sound bite, Johnson replied “I believe Obama sticks up for the people and Mitt Romney sticks it to them.”
from preceding page environment where they can thrive.” Some lawmakers initially opposed to the idea of allowing medical marijuana changed their minds after hearing stories of people said it eased their pain. They pointed out similar laws that exist in Vermont and Maine. But there were not enough votes in the Senate to override Lynch’s veto. “We are challenging our own law enforcement if we push this through now,” Sen. Sylvia Larsen said. The bill would have allowed patients with debilitating medical conditions or the patient’s designated caretaker to cultivate and possess up to six ounces of marijuana, four mature plants and 12 seedlings at a registered location. Lynch said that would lead to a virtually unlimited number of potential cultivation sites, making it impossible to control the distribu-
tion and prevent illegal use. The Senate also didn’t have enough votes to override Lynch’s veto of the bill sought by Salinger’s heirs, who said they were offended by the use of “The Catcher in the Rye” author’s image and name on items such as coffee mugs. Senators agreed that there hasn’t been any known litigation challenging the commercial use of one’s identity in the state for at least a decade. “I have to admit I’m at a loss as to why the sky would fall as a result of this bill,” said Sen. Matthew Houde, the bill’s sponsor. Lynch said the bill would potentially have a “chilling effect” on legitimate journalistic and expressive works protected by the state and federal constitutions and has no exceptions to the right to control one’s identity.

PLEA from page one counts of burglary and one count of attempted burglary in exchange for 7 1/2 to 15 years in the N.H. State Prison with a chance of having one year of the minimum suspended if he completes a drug and alcohol treatment program while incarcerated. He also agreed to an additional consecutive nine to 18 year sentence, all suspended, conditioned on good behavior while incarcerated. Guldbrandsen said James O’Neill rejected the plea as too lenient after, in part, hearing from two of Mullarkey’s alleged victims and his recounting the sense of fear felt by nearly all Lakes Region residents throughout the summer of 2011 as word of the brazen burglaries became known. The second bedtime burglar, Joshua Shepard, 31, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, four counts of being an accomplice to burglary and one count of sale of a narcotic drug — all felonies — in March of 2012. Judge James Barry sentenced him to seven to 14 years in the N.H State Prison with the possibility of suspending two years of the minimum after the successful completion of a drug and alcohol program while incarcerated. On the eve of their capture, local police working with the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department, were ready to mobilize a burglary task force and police depart-
ments in Laconia, Belmont, Gilford and Sanbornton had put out extra patrols in an effort to catch them. On August 24, a unformed Laconia Police Officer stopped Shepard for an outstanding warrant for drug sales and noticed what appeared to be burglary tools in his car. The two are accused of breaking into occupied and unoccupied homes and stealing cash. In one Belmont case, the two allegedly stole more than cash from an unoccupied home. On one occasion, a female victim in Laconia said one of the two men entered her bedroom while she slept. She was able to scare him away by turning on the light and screaming. Guldbrandsen said she is now prepared to go to trial. She said Shepard’s plea agreement involved lessor charges as for the most part he acted as an lookout and accomplice. He pleaded guilty to entering a home on two occasions. Guldgrandsen said Mullarkey has no prior criminal convictions while Shepard has a fairly extensive criminal background. She also said Shepard, as part of his plea arrangement, agreed to testify against Mullarkey who is incarcerated at the Belknap County House of Corrections awaiting trial. Mullarkey is represented by attorney John Clothier.
DUCKLINGS from page one inches long and still had its downy feathers, to the St. Francis Bird Center in Lyme. “I have a real hard time knowing those kids don’t know or understand the basic rule of human decency and kindness,” she said. She said this was the second time she caught some teens disrupting the ducks. Last week she said she saw some older boys — she guessed they were about 18 — throwing rocks near the birds. She said they told her they were trying to see how fast
the ducklings could run but stopped when she said something to them. The woman said she was most concerned with the callous disregard the boys showed for life. “If kids are doing this to a baby animal, imagine what they could do to a human being,” she said. “As a society, we need to get a hold of this and change it.” The woman called the police who she said arrived in time to speak to two of the boys. Police confirmed yesterday that they responded to a complaint of animal cruelty and are investigating.
LIQUOR from page one report by Liquor Commission cited Drew, who was not the owner of the business but owns the property and holds the liquor license, for serving intoxicated patrons, employees drinking while working, providing customers free drinks, refilling bottles, failing to sell sufficient food and, above all, using or allowing the premises to be used for an illegal purpose. In January the commission took Drew’s license in “safekeeping,” but in May, in tandem with an agreement with the town of Gilford, permitted him to reopen serving only beer and wine and offering only a deejay as entertainment. In their decision and order issued yesterday the commissioners held that there was sufficient evidence that drinks were served to intoxicated persons, employees drank while working and customers were given free drinks, but not that the establishment failed to offer meals and that employees refilled
bottles. Above all, the commission found insufficient evidence to support the charge that Drew allowed the club to used for an illegal purpose, specifically the drug trafficking that prompted the investigation, raid and arrest. In closing arguments before the commission, attorney David Bownes, representing Drew, recalled the events of last October, noting that the raid followed an investigation lasting five months aimed at finding that the management of the club, in league with an “outlaw” motorcycle club, engaged in the sale of illicit drugs. But, he stressed that after a thorough search of the building the only drugs found were on the persons or in the property of the five dancers and three occasional patrons of the club who were arrested and charged. He said that no evidence was presented to indicate that the manager of the club, much less Drew, who leased the management and see next page

from preceding page operation of the establishment, were engaged in or aware of the drug sales. The commission ordered Eddie Edwards, chief of enforcement, and Bownes to present recommendations for penalizing Drew for the violations for which it found sufficient evidence within 10 days. After considering
their recommendations, the commission will issue a final disposition and order. Meanwhile, the Gilford selectmen last night unanimously agreed to extend Drew’s entertainment permit, which expires on June 30, for two weeks until July 11 when it will consider his application to renew it.
CARNIVAL from page one used to be the Hannaford supermarket. On Monday, the Union Leader reported that the Laconia Airport Authority had concerns with the tall amusement parks rides interfering with the approach to the airport runway, but Miller said last night he only became aware of the airport issues when he read the paper. Selectman John O’Brien has served on the Airport Authority and said he suspected the FAA may have some concerns. “It is exactly in direct line of the runway,” he said. But the board’s real concern last night was timing. Town ordinances require any proposed assembly where there will be more than 100 people attending
to first have a public hearing, meaning the earliest they could say yes or no would be July 11 — only two weeks before the scheduled carnival. Miller said that should the application be rejected he wouldn’t have enough time to book another carnival. He said he would likely speak with W.S. Development and with the manager of the Airport before he returns with another proposal. During the meeting, O’Brien announced he would be a candidate for the N.H. Legislature this fall. Running as an independent, O’Brien will not appear on the ballot during the September primary. Gilford and Meredith now share four house seats and four Republicans and four Democrats have also fiiled.
SUPREME COURT from page 2 grab, has focused more than usual on the Supreme Court ruling this week. In campaign appearances in Virginia, New Jersey and New York, he offered supporters and donors a preview of his likely response to the decision. “My guess is they’re not sleeping real well at the White House tonight,” a confident Romney told cheering supporters gathered Wednesday evening at a Sterling, Va., electronics manufacturer. The night before, he told donors in New Jersey that if the Supreme Court lets the law stand, “it will make it very clear to the American people that they must elect someone who will stop it.” If the high court overturns the law, “then the first three and a half years of the Obama administration will have been entirely wasted, because that’s where he devoted his energy and passion,” the Republican said. Romney’s campaign also is running new ads this week in Virginia, North Carolina and Iowa promising he would move to “repeal Obamacare” on his first day in office. Obama, while recently avoiding mentioning the impending court ruling directly, has vigorously defended the overhaul as critical to the public’s health and well-being in his own campaign events this week. “I think it was the right thing to do. I know it was the right thing to do,” he told supporters in Boston. The White House also published a blog post Wednesday touting the benefits of the overhaul, including free preventive services for people on Medicare and health insurance rebates for nearly 13 million Americans. Both Obama and Romney were scheduled to be in Washington on Thursday. Romney planned to comment on the ruling during an event on Capitol Hill, and Obama was certain to address the decision as well. Obama advisers say the Supreme Court showed reasonableness earlier this week in a ruling on an Arizona
immigration case, and they see it as a hopeful sign for how the court might rule on health care. If the court upholds the law, Obama could get an election year gust of wind at his back, with his vision and leadership validated. If the court strikes down the overhaul, the White House would seek to cast the decision as detrimental to millions of Americans by highlighting popular elements of the law that would disappear, such as preventive care and coverage for young adults on a parent’s plan. Romney, who as Massachusetts governor signed a health care law on which the Obama’s federal law was modeled, is expected to use the health care law — or what remains of it — as a defining issue going forward in the presidential contest, regardless of which way the court’s ruling goes. Aides say that that Romney will hold up the law either as a symbol of Obama’s ineffective leadership or as federal overreach that only the Republican can stop. The campaign has coordinated its response directly with the Republican National Committee and House Republicans, who have agreed not to “spike the ball” — as one Republican put it — should the law be struck down. Romney’s campaign worries that an overcelebratory tone may turn off voters affected by the decision. Still, both sides will use it to raise money and motivate supporters. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued a fundraising appeal for a “health care rapid response fund,” telling supporters in an email Wednesday that however the court rules, “Democrats are in for a tough fight.” A flood of advertisements is also expected from outside groups. The conservative group called Concerned Women for America pre-emptively launched a six-state, $6 million advertising campaign this week claiming Obama’s overhaul results in delayed and denied care, as well as skyrocketing costs.
Red Sox win 5th straight; Big Papi hits homer # 399
BOSTON (AP) — Two months ago the Red Sox hit bottom. Now they’re playing sky high. Boston won its fifth straight series with a 10-4 win Wednesday over the Toronto Blue Jays with six runs in the first inning against a wild Ricky Romero and with the help of David Ortiz’s 399th career homer. After blowing a nine-run lead and losing to the New York Yankees 15-9 on April 21, the Red Sox were at 4-10 and manager Bobby Valentine said, “If this isn’t bottom, we’ll find some new ends to the earth.” They immediately turned it around with six straight wins and have the AL’s third best record, 36-25, since that low point. “I wasn’t sure” that would be the bottom, Valentine said after Wednesday’s win, “but I believed it. Things were going so wrong and we couldn’t catch a break. ... I think things turned around because guys believed it, too.” Believing and improving, though, are two different things. “We all knew that that was the cellar and it was not going to get any worse,” Cody Ross said. “You still have to go out and play and perform and since then we’ve been having fun. Our main thing is to win series. We did that here. Now we can go on the road with some confidence and make a run before the All-Star break.”
The Red Sox are at their highest point in the standings, a season-best five games over .500 at 40-35. They’re tied with Tampa Bay for third place in the AL East, the first time this year they’re not in fourth or fifth. Boston went 7-2 on the homestand, starting with a three-game sweep of Miami, after opening 14-19 at Fenway Park. “We got off on the right foot against the Marlins and just kept going, scoring runs, pitching well, playing good defense,” Ross said. Adrian Gonzalez had three RBIs and finished the homestand at 12 for 36 to raise his batting average to .296. Mike Aviles drove in two runs as the Red Sox improved to 9-2 in their last 11 games. Jon Lester (5-5) fell behind 1-0 in the first when he allowed a run-scoring single to Colby Rasmus, but the Red Sox scored all the runs they needed in the bottom half as Romero (8-2) threw 16 balls on his first 19 pitches. “I’m just embarrassed in myself more than anything. I feel like I let the team down,” Romero said. “Right now when I’m missing, I’m missing bad. I’m not even coming close. “ Boston went ahead 7-1 in the second when Ortiz and Ross walked on 3-1 pitches and Gonzalez hit an RBI single.

Colorado wildfire victims crowd shelters as fight goes on COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Fire crews fought to save the U.S. Air Force Academy and residents begged for information on the fate of their homes Wednesday after a night of terror sent thousands of people fleeing a raging Colorado Springs wildfire. More than 30,000 have been displaced by the fire, including thousands who frantically packed up belongings Tuesday night after it barreled into neighborhoods in the foothills west and north of Colorado’s second-largest city. With flames looming overhead, they clogged roads shrouded in smoke and flying embers, their fear punctuated by explosions of bright orange flame that signaled yet another house had been claimed. “The sky was red, the wind was blowing really fast and there were embers falling from the sky,” said Simone Covey, a 26-year-old mother of three who fled an apartment near Garden of the Gods park and was staying at a shelter. “I didn’t really have time to think about it. I was just trying to keep my kids calm.” Wilma Juachon sat under a tree at an evacuation center, wearing a mask to block the smoke. A tourist from California, she was evacuated from a fire near Rocky Mountain National Park last week and, now,
from her Colorado Springs hotel. “I said I hope it never happens again, and guess what?” Juachon said. Constantly shifting winds challenged firefighters trying to contain the 28-square-Mile Waldo Canyon blaze and extinguish hot spots inside the city’s western suburbs. The National Weather Service reported 60 mph winds and lightning above the fire on Wednesday afternoon. “It won’t stay in the same place,” said incident commander Rich Harvey. Some 3,000 more people were evacuated to the west of the fire, Teller County authorities said Wednesday. Meanwhile, the White House said President Barack Obama will tour fire-stricken areas of Colorado on Friday and thank firefighters battling some of the worst fires to hit the American West in decades. City Police Chief Richard Carey insisted that Obama’s visit to Colorado, considered a key battleground state in the presidential election, would not tax Carey’s already-strained police force. Gov. John Hickenlooper said he expected the president might sign a disaster declaration that would allow for more federal aid.

Thompson offering free performances of ‘On Golden Pond’ on July 4 LACONIA — The only production of On Golden Pond ever directed by the Academy Award winning writer Ernest Thompson is back on stage in the Lakes Region for the summer of 2012. This season Thompson has decided to dedicate two free performances to New Hampshire on the 4th of July. These special 4th of July performances are available to anyone and will begin at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. with a dedication by Thompson on the new stage at Pitman’s Freight Room located at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia. Playgoers will be out in time for the fireworks. On Golden Pond opens at Pitman’s Freight Room on July 3 with a champagne toast led by the author and runs through August 12 with evening performances at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Matinee performances are available at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Ticket prices range from $25 to $45. Children under 18 pay their age at Family Shows on July 31 and August 7 at 2 p.m. Senior, student and group rates are available. Tickets and reservations are available online at www.OnGoldenPond.org or by calling the box office at (603) 707-7806. Whitebridge Farm Productions, a film and theatre production company in the Lakes Region, was developed by Thompson with partners Morgan Murphy and Lori Gigliotti Murphy. Whitebridge produces socially conscious independent film and theatre projects, offers performing arts-related educational programs
and workshops, and embraces theatre and filmmaking in the New Hampshire community while speaking to a worldwide audience. Thompson has another surprise for this summer’s audience. Not only is this the first production of his American classic play he has ever directed but this year he will also play the role of Charlie the Mailman. Producer Lori Gigliotti Murphy believes “Thompson knew the real Charlie as a kid and to the best of my knowledge no-one has ever played him this way. He’s a scream, yet he still underpins the story in ways that perhaps no other actor ever could.” Other members of the professional cast include newcomer Jordan Puzzo from Derry, as Billy. Returning to the stage this summer are Morgan Murphy as Bill Ray, the dentist and Lori Gigliotti Murphy as Chelsea. Also returning are Frank T. Wells and Vinette Cotter as Norman and Ethel, whose unique chemistry and history as a couple in reality shines on stage in these famous roles. Thompson hand-picked Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia as the new home for his On Golden Pond. “Pitman’s Freight Room is the perfect fit for On Golden Pond’’, according to producer Morgan Murphy. “It feels like a post and beam summer cottage and is filled with antiques from all of our pasts.

‘Saving Our Treasured Chests’ event raises over $16,000 in bids and donations to benefit oncology patients LACONIA — The Saving Our Treasured Chests: Getting Plastered with a Purpose event, held Wednesday evening during Bike Week at Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant, proved to be a great success. Over $6,000 was raised from the auction itself and an additional $10,000 gift came in the following day from a donor who would prefer to remain anonymous. This project, ten months in the making, resulted in 65 magnificent pieces of art which were up for auction to the general public. Event organizer and four-year breast cancer survivor Shirley Stokes worked with many local volunteers to make this project a reality. Stokes came up with this idea a year ago after attending a torso plastering session offered by The Forest Moon Foundation in Vermont. As a breast cancer survivor that experience was an important part of her healing process, and her hope with this fundraiser was to help and inspire others locally, while raising funds to assist patients at LRGH who may need a helping hand with oncology-related expenses. A portion of the proceeds will go to Forest Moon. Over the past several months 62 women and three men volunteered to have their torsos plastered (using a material similar to a cast for a broken arm) -- many of whom are cancer survivors, caretakers, friends/relatives who participated in honor of a loved one, or simply concerned citizens who wanted to make a difference. Each chest up for bid was professionally painted by artists from the Lakes Region area and around New Hampshire. A wide range of themes were represented at this event and torsos sold for as much as $500. “The outpouring of support from so many in our community has been incredibly heartwarming,” explains Stokes. “Professional photographer
Dick Shetler photographed each completed torso free-of-charge, and then Carole Billin compiled photos and descriptions of each bust, which are included in the Treasured Chests keepsake book, being sold at the LRGH gift shop for $15.” In addition to the many torso volunteers, artists, and supporters of the event, Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant hosted the evening – donating the room for the auction, hors d’oeuvres, and a very professional team of staff. P.K. Zyla donated his talent and time as the auctioneer for this special event, and Debbie Dorsey of Cambridge Studios filmed the auction, which will be made into a documentary later this summer. “When Shirley approached LRGHealthcare last September about this project we honestly weren’t quite sure what to make of it. However, it was clear that she had the motivation and the passion to do something great, and she has far surpassed all expectations. For the past nine months Shirley has spent the majority of her waking hours on this project. Not only will proceeds from this fundraiser benefit many local patients undergoing a cancer diagnosis, several participants who volunteered to ‘get plastered’ view this as part of their healing process -- whether they are cancer survivors themselves or have lost a loved one to the disease. Shirley’s dedication has been remarkable; she has become an inspiration to so many and all of her hard work really paid off,” states Becky Doherty, LRGHealthcare Annual Fund & Special Events Manager. LRGHealthcare is a not-for-profit healthcare charitable trust representing Lakes Region General Hospital, Franklin Regional Hospital, and affiliated medical providers. LRGHealthcare’s mission is to provide quality, compassionate care and to strengthen the well-being of our community.

Holy Trinity Class of 2012 members graduate and reflect on their time at HTS LACONIA — Last week, Holy Trinity School wished its class of 2012 the best of luck as they moved onto regional high schools. Jack Fortier, principal, told the graduating class that life would inevitably get messy, but with faith, family and friends they could achieve their goals. The class, family and friends enjoyed the words of Salutatorian David Walker who shared his list of The Six Important Things he learned at Holy Trinity: # 6: Get along, #5: Look below the surface, #4: Don’t try it, you are going to get caught, #3: Give it a try, #2: Make your own fun and #1: Start your day with a prayer. The reflection of the experience and growth shared amongst the class came in the perfect words of Iantha Beane, valedictorian. She told the audience about how her class was allowed to play “manhunt,” a hide and seek game, throughout the building on one of their last days of school. She shared, “As we ran up and down the hallways trying to tag each other, I realized how comfortable it felt running around and yelling. It was almost as if we were at home and we acted like we would have with our families. At that moment, I realized how close to a second home Holy Trinity has become and how much we will all miss it.” The words resonated amongst the students and their families as the community of Holy Trinity is built on just experiences as this. The 2012 class left behind their legacy with two gifts one of honor and memory, a brick for the walkway in memory of Grammy Yvonne Fortin and one gift of function, which was window shades for two

Spirit Award. It was an evening of joy for all of the Holy Trinity community.
Loon chicks are hatching Event-filled 1st week of July at Castle in the Clouds earlier than usual this year MOULTONBOROUGH — The Loon Preservation Committee says that due to an early ice-out and record warm temperatures, many loons began nesting earlier than in previous years. As a result more chicks will be on the lakes during the busy Fourth of July week, making them more vulnerable to disturbance as human activity increases on the lakes. The committee recommends that those boaters who see an adult loon with chicks make sure to stay at least 150 feet from them so the parents can concentrate on feeding and caring for their chicks. If the adult shows any signs of distress such as craning its neck low over the water, thrashing about in the water, or vocalizing, people should leave the area as soon as possible. Newly hatched chicks are small, dark and cannot dive. Boat collisions are the highest human-related cause of chick mortality according to the committee. Loon Preservation Committee biologists say that studies indicate that a minimum breeding success rate of 0.48 surviving chicks per loon pair is needed to maintain the loon population over the long term. Despite record levels of management and outreach, New Hampshire’s loons achieved the minimum reproductive success required to sustain their population for the first time in six years during the 2011 season. They are hoping for another productive breeding season this year for the state-threatened loon population. The annual Loon Census will take place on Saturday, July 21 from 8-9 a.m. This mid-season count gives LPC a “snapshot” on loon productivity throughout the state and also helps discover new territories. Those who would like to participate can contact LPC at 603476-5666 or send an email to volunteers@loon.org. Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment, including following adults with chicks. If you observe harassment of loons, contact the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (603-271-3361) or Marine Patrol (603-293-2037) for assistance. The Loon Preservation reminds fishermen to leave lead tackle at home as lead poisoning is the largest known cause of adult loon mortality in New Hampshire. The Loon Preservation Committee monitors loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world.

Gary Morrison presents ‘Hi, I’m Ernie Pyle’ in Wolfeboro on July 5
WOLFEBORO — Gary Morrison will present “Hi, I’m Ernie Pyle” at the Wolfeboro Public Library on Thursday, July 5, at 7 p.m. The program, a one-person play, takes Pyle’s most hard hitting, poignant, relevant and comical dispatches from World War II and presents them in the way Pyle would have if he were alive today. The program is free and open to all. At the time of his death on April 18, 1945, Ernie Pyle was the most widely read of all correspondents covering World War II. That is because Pyle wrote about the war from the soldier’s perspective, outside on the ground and in the trenches alongside with them. His columns appeared in over 380 daily and weekly newspapers and in the “Stars and Stripes,” the serviceman’s newspaper. Whenever Pyle came across a group of soldiers, he always introduced himself by saying: “Hi, I’m Ernie Pyle.” That’s how a lot of soldiers and sailors first met, in their words, “the little guy” you could really get close to. People back home eagerly awaited news from the battle zone as reported by Pyle because they knew they were getting the unvarnished truth about what it was like on the front. The play opens early in the afternoon of April 17, 1945, the day before Pyle is killed by a sniper’s bullet on the Island of Ie Shima. Pyle is seen at his typewriter on the
ship the USS Panamint pounding out a story about “some of the boys I’ve come to know since I’ve been in this war.” That afternoon he is visiting Ie Shima to meet up with some marines so he can write about them. He tells of his involvement covering the war, beginning with the blitz of London, to the North African campaign, the invasion of Sicily, Italy, Normandy, the liberation of Paris and finally the South Pacific. Pyle’s words are relevant to anyone who has been in any war. Vietnam and Gulf War veterans have said that unless they knew better, they would think the play was about their own experiences. The show triggers memories in World War II veterans who often say afterwards how close the show is to things they actually experienced. Gary Morrison has performed the play over 80 times in the past ten years for veterans, historical groups, libraries and others. He is a retired freelance journalist and photographer who was born on the day Ernie Pyle was killed. After each performance, audience members are invited to talk about the show and, if they are veterans, share their memories and stores of Ernie Pyle.

by Darby Conley
Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis carefree. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whether your task for the day is high or humble, it is important. Doing the job with reverence can be a transcendent experience both for you and for those you help with your work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People look up to you. Knowing this, you may feel some pressure to act in a certain way -- like yourself, only more formal. Really, it’s not necessary. The casual version of you will do just fine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Potential distractions and obstacles are cleared before you wake. Today, you make up your mind about what you’re going to do, and you do it. Nothing could be simpler. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A ship is safe in port, and it’s also quite useless there. The same goes with your talent. You have the potential to go somewhere with it, but you have to risk the open waters to do so. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You wisely realize that what’s happening around you isn’t the only thing that contributes to your happiness, and yet it’s awfully nice when circumstances favor you and even seem to rally to make you smile. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 28). Your faith is strong, and when you believe something is possible, you pursue it with great conviction. A brilliant move pumps up your professional life in August. Travel will expand horizons. There’s a change in your social lineup as you welcome new friends at the year’s end. A May investment will pay handsomely in five years. Aries and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 25, 48, 2 and 17.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The lotus symbol of creation and purity may have special meaning to you now as you come to a new venture with a pure heart and the sole intention of making something beautiful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Mastering a new skill is nothing but placing your continued attention on it. Therefore, you can relax knowing that it’s not about you and whether you’re good enough to “get” it. It’s simply about the time and effort you put in. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your exterior casing is not who you really are, but it sure makes a difference as to how you feel about yourself. The outer informs the inner. You’ll work on both at the same time today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In order to learn courage, there has to be something to fear. And patience can’t be learned without a frustrating or annoying element present. Obstacles are a gift, and you wisely are grateful for them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love is something you can’t hold on to, because it really isn’t love until you give it away. You’ll be actively showing others and yourself what feelings in motion look like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The day brings a dilemma. Is it more important to be true to yourself, or to try to be better than who you are? Whatever you decide, it will be the right decision because you’ll make it mindfully. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Albert Einstein suggested that the tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives. To prevent these kinds of soul sacrifices, feed your need for fun. Give yourself the opportunity to play and be

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, June 28, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, June 28, the 180th day of 2012. There are 186 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On June 28, 1712, philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, one of the most influential thinkers of the 18th century Enlightenment, was born in Geneva. On this date: In 1778, the Revolutionary War Battle of Monmouth took place in New Jersey; it was from this battle that the legend of “Molly Pitcher” arose. In 1836, the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, died in Montpelier, Va. In 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated in Sarajevo (sah-ruh-YAY’-voh) by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip — the event which sparked World War I. In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) was signed in France, ending the First World War. In Independence, Mo., future president Harry S. Truman married Elizabeth Virginia Wallace. In 1922, the Irish Civil War began between rival nationalists over the Anglo-Irish Treaty establishing the Irish Free State. (The conflict lasted nearly a year, resulting in defeat for anti-treaty forces.) In 1939, Pan American Airways began regular trans-Atlantic air service with a flight that departed New York for Marseilles, France. In 1944, the Republican national convention in Chicago nominated New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president and Ohio Gov. John W. Bricker for vice president. In 1962, a jury in New York awarded $3.5 million to former radio-TV personality John Henry Faulk in his libel suit against the group AWARE Inc. and two individuals who’d accused him of Communist sympathies and gotten him blacklisted. (The judgment was reduced to $550,000 by an appeals court.) In 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the University of California-Davis Medical School to admit Allan Bakke, a white man who argued he’d been a victim of reverse racial discrimination. In 1981, a bomb exploded at the Tehran headquarters of Iran’s ruling Islamic Republic Party, killing 74 people, including Iran’s chief judge, Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti. In 2000, seven months after he was cast adrift in the Florida Straits, Elian Gonzalez was returned to his native Cuba. One year ago: Taliban fighters raided an international hotel in Kabul and killed 10 people on the eve of a conference to discuss plans for Afghan forces to take over security when international troops left by the end of 2014. Today’s Birthdays: Comedian-movie director Mel Brooks is 86. Comedian-impressionist John Byner is 75. Rock musician Dave Knights is 67. Actor Bruce Davison is 66. Actress Kathy Bates is 64. Actress Alice Krige is 58. Actress Jessica Hecht is 47. Rock musician Saul Davies is 47. Actress Mary Stuart Masterson is 46. Actor John Cusack is 46. Actor Gil Bellows is 45.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our late 40s and have been married 30 years. (We married young.) “Eugene” has started looking at a lot of porn and seems to have a compulsion about it. We have enjoyed adult videos as a couple and still do, but Eugene now watches porn on the computer by himself. I feel betrayed, and it damages my trust. When I told him I don’t like that he looks at Internet porn so often, he became hostile and defensive. He angrily told me that “after 30 years of the same old thing, a guy needs to look at something different.” That comment hurt me deeply, and I’ve had trouble getting past it. For a little while, Eugene backed off the porn, but now he’s sneaking around. Today, I discovered he has logged on to live chat rooms and Internet porn dating sites. When I confronted him about it, he was nonchalant, saying those sites just randomly pop up. But I know that’s not true. He’s visited those sites numerous times. Eugene says I’m too sensitive and his behavior is normal. But, Annie, the fact that he’s sneaking around is enough for me to know it’s not acceptable. Do you think Eugene is looking for an affair? -- Not Comfortable with My Future Dear Not: We think your husband is looking for some thrills, and he’s being quite a jerk about it. This could be a typical midlife crisis: He’s approaching 50 and needs to feel young again. But such juvenile behaviors can damage a marriage beyond repair. Please ask Eugene to go with you for counseling. Tell him you want to work on the areas of your marriage that are at risk. If he won’t go, go without him. Dear Annie: My son is getting married next year at a somewhat remote and tiny resort. Due to the distance, some guests will be arriving at the resort the day before the wedding. The rehearsal dinner is the night before the wedding. I plan to pay for the dinner, but my wife thinks we should pay for
any guests that happen to be at the resort that night. Is she right? It could be awkward if we don’t include them and have to see them in passing. The resort is small. What is the proper way to handle this dilemma? -- Unsure in Illinois Dear Unsure: All members of the bridal party, including parents, grandparents and officiants, are included in the rehearsal dinner. It is not mandatory to include all out-of-town guests, although if there aren’t too many of them, it would be both appropriate and kind to do so. Otherwise, please be sure there is hospitality provided at the resort specifically for them that includes some type of food (snacks, drinks, etc.). Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Pennsylvania,” who asked about the etiquette of announcing a death via email. A couple of months ago, my husband’s sister emailed that an aunt had a stroke, and she said she would keep us posted. Several weeks later, I was throwing out an old newspaper and spotted the aunt’s obituary, too late to attend the funeral. No one in my husband’s family called him. When I confronted his spacey sister by phone, she said she meant to send a follow-up email but forgot. When my husband confronted his mother, she said, “Your brother-in-law was supposed to send you an email.” It turns out that the brother-in-law offered to do so, but said the email bounced back with the wrong address. It never occurred to him to then call us. So don’t rely on email. Sometimes it gets lost in cyberspace, bounces back or goes into spam, and some people don’t check their email often. I guess this is less a comment about the etiquette of sending an email to announce a death and more of a comment on my husband’s ditzy family. -- Also in Pennsylvania
