call volume. “County services are not provided a la carte,” said chairman Ed Philpot. Philpot explained that unbundling dispatch services and billing towns proportionately would be an invitation to the do the same for other county services. He said that some
municipalities make greater use of county services like the corrections department, nursing home, county attorney and registry of deeds than others. Billing municipalities proportionately, he suggested, would defeat the purpose of county government. In effect, the commissioners
reaffirmed the position taken by the prior commission when the Gilford Board of Selectmen first challenged the funding of dispatch services in January 2010. Gilford and Laconia are the only municipalities in the county with 24-hour police dispatch service. The Sheriff’s see COUNTy page 8

Kiara spots the potential in this shoe
Kiara Bates of Gilmanton, accompanied by her mom Sharona and brother Gabriel, picks out a shoe to decorate as part of the “Downtown Still Has Sole Shoe Walk” contest. All 46 available shoes were claimed on Thursday afternoon at the Laconia Main Street Outdoor Marketplace, held at the municipal parking lot on Main Street. The market, now in its second year, boasts local vendors in every available spot and includes more meats and seafood, more pet-related items and lots of vegetable vendors. There are also crafters, bakers and prepared-food vendors at the market. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — A 73-year-old man’s shooting rampage in towns near the Arizona border left six people dead Thursday, including the suspect and the attorney who represented his ex-wife in their divorce. Police said Carey Hal Dyess also wounded one person in the shootings around Yuma, a city of about 200,000, before he was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound nearly six hours after the first shots were fired. The lawyer was killed while packing up his office on his last day of work. “This is not a random act,” Yuma Police Chief Jerry Geier said. “These victims were targeted.” Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden said the first shooting was reported shortly after 5 a.m. in Wellton, about 25 miles east of Yuma. The woman was in critical condition at a Phoenix hospital. He said Dyess then fatally shot four people around town before driving to Yuma and see SUICIDE page 8

Forrester pushes but N.H. Senate wants more time to study eminent domain bill
CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Senate on Thursday decided to put off until next year action on a bill that would slow down a project to carry hydroelectric power from Canada to New England. The final vote was 14-10 to send it back to the Senate Judiciary Committee for more study. Senators for and against the action agreed the bill was flawed, and although it was designed to change state procedures to take land by eminent domain, debate often focused on the controversial project that inspired the bill: the Northern Pass. “It is perhaps the most contentious and complicated piece of legislation we heard in Judiciary this session,” said Sen. Jim Luther, a Republican from Hollis. “We need additional time.” Under the bill, already passed in the House, public utilities could not ask the state for permission to take private land to build private, large-scale
‘Queenie’, the water-skiing elephant, dies at age 59
ATLANTA (AP) — Queenie, an Asian elephant who gained fame by water skiing decades ago, died this week at the Georgia theme park where she had retired. The 59-year-old elephant was euthanized Monday at the Wild Adventures theme park in Valdosta, Ga., park general manager Bob Montgomery said. The animal had suffered from declining quality of life and chronic health issues. Liz Dane, who worked with Queenie for years, said the elephant was a natural performer. Archival footage shows the younger elephant balancing on two attached giant skis with Dane alongside it as a boat pulled them through the water. “She would stand on the skiis at the edge of the water, and then once she got used to that they just slowly started towing the skies out and she just loved it,” said Dane, who lives in Concord, N.H. “She would put her trunk in the water and get a big scoop of water and spray it all over the place!” “I doubt very seriously that you’ll ever see another elephant water ski,” Dane said Thursday. Queenie was born in Thailand in 1952 and imported to the U.S. as a baby. In the fall of 1953, during a visit to a New York City pet store, the 9-year-old Dane told her father she wanted the animal as a pet, she wrote in a historical account of their relationship. So they loaded the 250-pound elephant into their 1953 Mercury — with the back seat removed — for the drive home to New Hampshire, she wrote. Queenie also played the harmonica, and performed at state and county fairs, Republican rallies, military bases and circuses around the country. Dane said it was a Florida couple, Marj and Jim Rusing, who taught Queenie to ski, which she did during the 1950s and 1960s. Dane said the Rusings had trained other elephants to ski, but Queenie at the time was the world’s only water-skiing elephant. Queenie moved to the south Georgia theme park in 2003 to live out her retirement, and Dane said the handlers there took excellent care of her.
transmission lines unless they can show that construction of the transmission facility is needed for “system reliability” of the electric grid. That term, however, is not defined in the bill — just one of its problems, senators noted. The project would build power towers to carry transmission lines along a 180-mile route from northern to southern New Hampshire and provide electricity for the region. Most of the project would use existing rights of way. It would include 40 miles of new construction in the northern part of the state, where the opposition is based. Many residents there fear that they would lose their property to the project against their will. Others worry that the power lines would be an eyesore that could erode property values and hurt tourism. Some wonder if the project is needed at all. The U.S. Department of Energy, which would have
to grant a permit for the project, is accepting public comment on it through June 14. The Senate gallery was filled with people opposed to the Northern Pass, wearing their trademark hunter orange. Some stood up and turned their backs when they heard testimony they didn’t agree to. Jim Dannis of Dalton, one of the opponents, said he wanted the bill to pass. He said he and others would be willing to work with the judiciary committee “to make the bill as clear and precise as possible.” Sen. Jeannie Forrester, a Meredith Republican, argued in favor of passing the bill and was prepared to offer an amendment that would place a one-year moratorium on any utility project that could involve eminent domain. “This legislation is about protecting private property rights,” she said. But other senators argued that the amendment see EMINENT DOMAIN page 11
CONCORD (AP) — Former New Hampshire Gov. Walter Peterson who was the state’s chief executive for four years in the late 1960s and early 1970s has died of lung cancer. The 88-year-old Peterson, who never smoked, found out he had lung cancer this spring and received treatment at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Peterson, a moderate Republican from Peterborough, was governor from 1969-1973. He lost a bid for re-election after renouncing New Hampshire’s traditional pledge among its political leaders to oppose an income or sales tax. Peterson’s death was announced Thursday by Gov. John Lynch, who ordered the state’s flags lowered. Peterson’s son, Andy Peterson, said his father died peacefully at 11 p.m. Wednesday at Monadnock Community Hospital. “He felt an obligation to the greater world,” said the younger Peterson. “It was just the fact of the matter that was what he was about. He felt strongly it was right to have an investment in the welfare of the town, the state, the nation, the wider world.” Andy Peterson said his father believed that people working together “are a much greater force than the problems we face.” He said his father knew there was evil in the world, but his real interest was in seeing the good in people grow. In his statement, Lynch said Peterson was an inspiration, a mentor and a good friend he turned
to for advice. “Governor Walter Peterson represented all that is great and wonderful about our state,” the Democratic governor said in a statement. “With a strength of character as tough as New Hampshire granite, Governor Peterson was a true New Hampshire icon, a gentleman and a strong example of courage and honesty in politics. He never wavered from his principles and always put the needs of people first, which is the mark of a great man and an extraordinary public servant.” In later years, Peterson warned his party against becoming too extreme. In 2004, he joined other moderate Republicans in calling on President George W. Bush and the Republican party to “come back to the mainstream” on the eve of the Republican National Convention. The group purchased newspaper advertisements, urging the GOP to stop weakening environmental law; start using “pay-as-you-go” budget discipline to end deficits; clear the way for embryonic stem cell research; and appoint mainstream federal judges. Peterson also served as president of Franklin Pierce College for 20 years and, for a year, as interim president of the University of New Hampshire. He also served in the New Hampshire House in the early 1960s and as its speaker. “How many times in life can you say you met a see PETERSON page 10

The future of our common defense Defense Secretary Robert Gates leaves office this month as widely respected as any public figure in America today, appreciated for his willingness to return to public service at a moment of high danger in Iraq and to faithfully serve presidents of both parties. Initially skeptical of George W. Bush’s surge in Iraq, Gates did much to ensure its success. Not always in agreement with decisions of Barack Obama, he carried them out and defended them ably. Whether you agree or disagree with his decisions, it’s hard not to admire his intellectual honesty and candor. All of which makes some observations in his valedictory speech at the American Enterprise Institute last week disturbing. Gates spoke of “institutional obstacles in the Pentagon — cultural, procedural, ideological — to getting done what needed to get done” and the need for “fundamentally reshaping the priorities of the Pentagon.” He insisted that the defense budget “is not the cause of this country’s fiscal woes,” but conceded that “as a matter of simple arithmetic and political reality,” defense cuts “must be at least part of the solution.” He did not lament, as he might have, that Obama declined to put money into shovel-ready defense procurement in his stimulus package. Rather, Gates defended projected reductions in the future as being much less in percentage terms than the one-third decline in defense spending between 1985 and 1998, when the Pentagon went on “a procurement holiday.” He noted that he cut or cancelled 30 procurement programs that would have cost $300-billion. But “the proverbial low-hanging fruit,” he said, “have not only been plucked, they have been stomped on and crushed.” Moreover, he conceded that $700-billion in new procurement and R&D since 9/11 “has resulted in relatively modest gains in actual military capability.” The Pentagon’s “buying culture” has put us on “an unsustainable course, where more and more money is consumed by fewer and fewer platforms that take longer and longer to build.” That sounds like we are headed to the future famously predicted by former Lockheed Martin CEO Norman Augustine that “in the year 2054, the entire defense budget will purchase just one aircraft,” to be shared by the Air Force and Navy, with the Marines getting it one day during leap year. Gates also noted that his efforts to
reduce “massive administrative and support bureaucracies” was “something akin to an Easter egg hunt. My staff and I learned that it was nearly impossible to get accurate information and answers to questions such as ‘how much money do you spend’ and ‘how many people do you have?’” Gates recommended sweeping changes in military retirement rules and increases in co-payments and premiums in the Tricare health care system for military retirees — changes that he admitted will encounter fierce institutional and political resistance. Otherwise, increasingly large chunks of defense spending will go to things that don’t improve military capabilities. All of which is dismaying to hear from an experienced and knowledgeable defense secretary in his fifth years in office. One of the problems of any successful military establishment — or, really, of any longstanding bureaucracy — is that it becomes encrusted by enormous dysfunctional barnacles which make it increasingly difficult to cruise ahead on its appointed missions. Pretty enormous barnacles, to hear Gates tell it, and really hard to scrape off. In his memoir “From the Shadows,” written after he left the CIA directorship in 1993, Gates likened the U.S. national security apparatus to a giant ship that changes course only with great difficulty and much less sharply from one administration to another than suggested by political rhetoric. In that context, his speech last week sounded almost like a throwing up of hands. He accepted without demur the current president’s top-line limits on defense spending, and he acknowledged that he is leaving hugely difficult challenges for his successors. He noted that over the last 30 years we have never once predicted in advance where our military forces will be engaged — there will always be plenty of what his predecessor Donald Rumsfeld called unknown unknowns. “The American military will remain the greatest deterrent against aggression and the most effective means of preserving peace,” he insisted. But at best it will be “a smaller, superbly capable military” that “will be able to go to fewer places and be able to do fewer things.” An optimistic vision of the future, but a scarily modest one.

LETTERS Did they throw out common sense when they went to Concord? To the editor, Once again the people of New Hampshire have been swept aside by the representatives we have sent to Concord. We thought by changing of the guard last November that we would get the changes that would bring solvency to the state by better management and realistic reforms. Well, we did get changes, but this new House and Senate let the power go to their heads and we got changes that will make all of us worse off than before. It’s really quite funny. In Washington the new minority group accuses the new majority group of hurting the elderly and taking away their health care benefits. Here in New Hampshire, it is the new ruling authority, that cuts $258-million in payments to hospitals. Don’t forget, that also means matching funds from the federal government are also gone. In the past 20 years hospitals have received some reimbursement for the treatment of patients without insurance at a rate of about fifty cents on the dollar. Now hospitals will have to pay a tax that will exceed the amount of what they receive for taking care of Medicaid patients. Now, what does this mean to you, the people. If you have insurance, your rates will soar as hospitals have to absorb and make up for this disparity. What does that mean? It means that many of you or your employers who offer insurance will no longer be able to afford these increases and you will drop your insurance, making the
hospitals even more at a loss. So, what will happen is there will have to be more cutbacks at all hospitals, and particularly for us in the Lakes Region who depend on LRGH and the Franklin Hospital. The more people who then flock to the ER where they know they will receive care, with or without insurance, will suddenly find less people there to care for you, longer lines and longer waits for service, and eventually we could lose that service. Many hospitals throughout the country have been forced to close their ERs already. This is just one of the outrageous results of the present budget but it is best to focus on one at a time. It is very strange to me that this could occur in our state, and stranger still that our representatives and state senator could vote for this particular cut. I say strange because, they are people, like you and me. They have wives, children, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and friends, all of whom are not exempt from illness or accidents, and they also know the economic situation of the districts they live in. Do they throw out common sense and fairness when they go to Concord, just to prove they are in charge? The bill creating this problem still has to through the House/Senate conference process so there is time to voice your opinion. Call or e-mail or write your representatives and demand the end of partisan politics and do good work for the people. Brenda Baer Laconia
The story of a very kind gesture to our veterans on Memorial Day To the editor, Memorial Day is a very special day for veterans because it commemorates the sacrifice of U.S. service members who died while in military service. The men and women residents of the New Hampshire Veterans Home (NHVH) take it personally, because they understand what it feels like to lose a fellow comrade in arms. They’ve comforted families of fallen soldiers. They’ve spent sleepless nights wondering why they were spared and someone else had to die. On Memorial Day many of the NHVH residents attend services at
the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery. It’s difficult because it often brings back painful memories, but it’s something they do. They do it as a tribute to those who died — knowing it could have been them — grateful to those who sacrificed their own lives for others. There is an amazing bond among these men and women — and even between the living and the dead. This year 20 residents from the New Hampshire Veterans Home went to the cemetery again. The kind, patient, and compassionate Veterans Home staff helped load the residents see next page

LETTERS If you want to look for real government conspiracies consider. . . To the editor, While I disagree with Steve Earl and Bob Meade about 99-percent of the time, I honestly have to agree with them about Derek Chase’s “Truther” allegations regarding September 11. 2011. Such “grand conspiracy” theories about 9-11 are poorly thought-out and do nothing to honor the victims of the tragedy or to prevent such outrages in the future. While I certainly did not like George W. Bush’s administration, I do believe that administration’s version of what happened on that tragic day is more or less the truth: some religious fanatics flew planes into the World Trade Center causing the deaths of over two thousand innocent people. Other religious fanatics flew an aircraft into the Pentagon. Still other fanatics flew a plane brought down in a field in Pennsylvania by brave passengers who gave their lives to protect more lives. Back in NYC, still other brave people, mainly firefighters and rescue personal, gave their lives to save others. The problem with grand conspiracy theories is two-fold. First, proponents of such wild conspiracies make the fatal flaw of believing that just because something is “possible” it has to be true regardless of the real evidence. We see this in a number of conspiracy theories, including those regarding alien abductions, UFOs, and “Area 51.” There seem to be many who believe the X-Files are a documentary!
As Mr. Earl correctly pointed out, even simple conspiracies are hard to cover up. Bill Clinton was unable to keep secret the oldest conspiracy in the world. The Watergate Scandal was uncovered in spite of the Nixon Administration’s best efforts. There is always someone who will leak a secret for money or fame. Many Americans think that government agencies like the C.I.A. are “airtight” and capable of “anything.” Perhaps the C.I.A. is capable of anything but it is certainly not airtight. It usually gets found out. In fact, that agency frequently winds up looking like Wile E. Coyote in the old Road Runner cartoons. Second, I wonder how much these outlandish conspiracy theories take our minds off the REAL conspiracies cooked up by governments, including the U.S.A. If you want to look for real government conspiracies, there are plenty of them. Because of U.S. corporate interests, the C.I.A. undermined democratically elected governments in Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), and Chile (1973). And that is only a very partial list of C.I.A. shenanigans. Still, I wonder why those who are so quick to condemn such outlandish “Truther” conspiracies about 9-11 are so willing to entertain equally crazy and ridiculous “Birther” conspiracy theories. E. Scott Cracraft Gilford
Listen to words of Barry Goldwater on subject of religion & politics To the editor, Scott Cracraft’s summary of the religious background of America’s Founders is right on target. The misconception that America was founded as a “Christian” nation unfortunately informs a lot of today’s politics. The letter reminded me of a speech which was quoted in the paper several years ago and deserves to be repeated. It was delivered in the U.S. Senate on 16 September, 1981 by one of the most prominent conservatives in the Congress, Barry Goldwater, and goes thus: “On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God’s name on one’s behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with
wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100-percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in A, B, C and D. Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of ‘conservatism’.” Bob Reed Melvin Village
from preceding page and their wheelchairs or walkers onto the buses. We don’t know who they thought of when “Taps” was played, but we can imagine it must have been very sad. After the ceremony, the veterans and staff returned to the buses and went out to lunch at the Longhorn Steakhouse in Concord. It was a nice outing on a special day. But one other special thing happened. When Recreation Assistant Diane Harris asked for the check — which would have been over $400.00 — she was told it
had been paid. Anonymously. We don’t know who made this very generous gesture, but we thank them — on behalf of our residents — who deserve so much and ask so little. On Memorial Day our residents thanked their fellow service members at the cemetery, and this donor’s gift — a random act of kindness — was another expression of thanks. Our veterans, staff, families, and friends thank you. Jackie E. Bonafide Program Information Officer New Hampshire Veterans Home Tilton

To the editor, As usual, this will fall on deaf ears. If you cannot accept the fact that you are the boss of these people who are paid with your tax money, than perhaps you should just skip the voting booth in the next elections. The hoard of wannabees (liars) are on the way trying to brainwash you into believing they can get jobs back into the country and fix the American way of life. If they could do this miracle, than they should make a name for themselves by doing something now instead of after the voting is all done and all the ballots counted. Hopefully, in the next election, you will vote for brains instead of smooth talker and color of skin. Now is the time to take back American “for the people, by the people” way of life. All you have to remember is YOU ARE THE BOSS. A sure way of beginning to cut the waste and big spending is to cut the amount of wages these bloated narcissistic employees of ours receive. All you have to remember is that anyone getting paid with your tax dollars, is your employee, NOT your employer. When was the last time you could go into the office of your employment and tell them that your paycheck will read a lot more than it does now? It is time to make changes for the better for ALL the taxpayers and make the jobs that these people are seeking for the benefit of their wallets. A senator should be paid no more than a grand a week,
Lots of people to thank for perfect Memorial Day in M’borough To the editor, The citizens of Moultonborough were treated to a perfect Memorial Day celebration! The parade was led by a color guard of men and women from our military and police force. Moultonborough Academy softball players carried a banner announcing this year’s honored veterans. The veterans rode a trolley decorated in patriotic buntings. The town’s firemen joined the paraded in their full dress uniforms. A cacophony of scouts joined the parade to honor the veterans. The MA marching band shared their music with all the citizens on the side of the road who came to show their support of the veterans. Sandy Ringelstein was emcee of the ceremony at the Town Hall. Her opening words were most heartfelt and insightful. Pastor Paul O’Neil and Kate Lancor read a poem honoring the “souls” of those who gave their lives for our freedom. As in the past, the highlight of the day was the introduction of our “Honored Veterans”. The Moultonborough selectmen were presented a flag flown over Camp Blue Diamond
COB Basra, Iraq on the day Osama bin Laden’s death was announced. Bruce Gary, based at Camp Blue Diamond, was the presenter of the flag to our town. MA senior Elizabeth Law led those in attendance in singing “God Bless America”. After reading of the names of Moultonborough residents who gave their lives for our country, the ceremony concluded with “taps” by members of the MA band. The United Methodist Church served free ice cream to all. This perfect day could not take place with out thanks to many people: Sandy Ringelstein for her leadership, Bruce Gary for the flag, the Castle in the Clouds for the use of the trolley, The volunteer driver who did such a great job decorating the trolley with patriotic bunting, the MA Band and softball players, Scott Kinmond for all his behind the scenes work, Middleton Lumber for the use of their roof rake, and the Methodist Church for the ice cream. Thank you all. Sally Carver Moultonborough

and be paying into the Social Security system, thus saving the taxpayers of New Hampshire alone at least seventy-five grand a year for just one senator and we have more than one. All you have to remember is that you are their employer and this is all you will pay for their services. You have sent them to DC to represent your wishes and if they can’t do that simple little thing, then next election send them packing. If this is too hard for you to understand, than ask a little 5th grader to explain it to you. While we are now trying to get back to being the world leader it may be of interest to you to know that the Social Security program is an easy fix, If you always paid into the system through deductions in your paycheck, you are entitled to benefits under this system. Under President Clinton, HE signed into power that ANY foreigner or any lazy kid could collect under the Social Security system. BUT, if you did not have enough time (40 quarters) in the system, than you could not collect So there you go, a way to begin taking back and begin healing this wonderful country. Also, while we are trying to heal ourselves, it is time to stop borrowing from China, stop printing more money, and stop sending all this money to help rebuild other countries that couldn’t give a healthy crap about America.

Norman McGuigan, of 160 Daniel Webster Highway in Center Harbor reacted to the recent shooting by Fish & Game officials of a trouble-making bear in his town to place this stuffed bear in his front yard. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)
BEARS from page one “This pretty much runs on par for what we’ve seen every year,” said conservation officer Brad Morse, whose territory includes Center Harbor and Meredith, and the territory of an adult male black bear which Morse said is responsible for the attention media outlets, including Boston-area cable news programs, paid to bear activity this year. The attention was focused around an attack from a bear that a Center Harbor woman suffered on May 22 on her back deck. The woman received non life-threatening injuries and the bear was quickly chased off by her dog and her husband. That was just one of the several incidents attributed to that bear, which is believed to have been fed by previous residents of the area and as such became accustomed to being around humans and their homes. When that happens, said Morse, trouble is soon to follow. Officials suspect the bear that attacked the woman in Center Harbor was also responsible for several dog-related incidents and the destruction of a nearby coop and the disappearance of several chickens. Because the May 22 incident involved aggression toward a human, Morse said his department made the decision to kill the animal. A trap was set at the residence where the woman was attacked but the bear’s end was brought by a houndsman hired by Fish & Game to tree the animal. Morse said that on the evening of May 25, the expert hunter’s dogs came across a large black bear about a halfmile from the site of the recent attack. “A very aggressive bear, it charged the dogs several times and then it charged the houndsman,” Morse said. “That’s unusual behavior for a bear.” Once treed, a conservation officer shot the bear. A rabies test on the 180pound carcass showed no presence of the illness. Dr. Jonna Fulton, owner of the Winnipesaukee Veterinary Emergency Center in Meredith, saw first-hand the damage that the bear was capable of. On the evening of May 16th,
15 Kimball Rd. Gilford, NH (Intersection of 11B & 11C)
Harbor home of the woman who was attacked brought their dog to the veterinary clinic after it had been nearly killed by a bear thought to be the same that was later shot. Fulton, who has been involved in veterinary care for 12 years and has operated the emergency center for three years, said wildlife attacks are an occasional problem for her clients, mostly porcupine and less often beaver, racoon or fox. “We had not yet had a dog attacked by a bear before,” she said. That changed on the night of May 16th, though, when “Gracie,” a five year-old, 60 pound hound mix was brought in. According to her owners’ account, “Gracie” was let out into the yard for her evening constitutional and was set upon by a bear on the property. The bear’s behavior displayed its now-infamous aggression. Although “Gracie” tried to run, diving under a vehicle for cover, the bear continued to pursue the dog and tried to pull her out from under the vehicle to finish her off. Only when her owners came out of the house did the bear leave the dog. Fulton said “Gracie” suffered “general punctures and lacerations to her head, scratches from bear claws all over her body” and a particularly deep gouge to her lower back.” She was lucky to avoid broken bones or internal organ damage. “She was lucky to survive the attack, she had serious injuries,” said Fulton. “If she had not been able to get under the car, she probably wouldn’t have survived.” Fulton reported that “Gracie,” who has been returned to her owners, is in the middle of a successful recovery. The cost of treating the dog’s injuries was about $1,700. In Sanbornton, Dan Lance has also experienced bear activity on his property, though the only victim so far has been the paint job on his 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. Lance, who lives on Steele Hill Road, said that late last week his pack of five Australian shepherds ran

COUNTY from page one Department serves some or all the shifts in the other nine municipalities. When the Gilford selectman asked about transferring calls on the “midnight shift” — from 11 pm. to 7 am. — to the county, Sheriff Craig Wiggin told them that although he was willing to provide the service, the current communications system lacked sufficient capacity. The selectmen dropped the proposal, but wrote the county commissioners that they considered it “blatantly unfair” to charge the town for services that benefit other towns, but are not available to Giford. The board suggested either refunding the town its proportional share of the cost of the county dispatch service or charging those towns that use the service rather than providing and funding their own police communications systems. The commissioners offered to provide dispatch services to Gilford “after a plan for implementation and funding is secured,” but declined to restructure the funding of the service. They explained that “tax bills are not assessed based on the level of individual service provided. This often results in taxpayers paying for services they are not accessing at any given time, but rather everyone contributes, based
on property value, to the greater good of the whole.” Selectman Kevin Hayes called the commissioners reply “a slap in the face,” saying he was “dismayed” that the commissioners declined to explore more equitable means of funding the dispatch service. Meanwhile, as the county commission began exploring opportunities to regionalize programs and services, Wiggin began sounding the police chiefs about transferring dispatch to the county. When, in the course of their county conversations, the commissioners reached Gilford last July, Town Administrator Scott Dunn reminded them of the issues the town raised about dispatch services. Philpot replied that studies of the dispatch system were not complete. This week Wiggin presented the commission with a schedule of the calls dispatched by the Sheriff’s Department for the nine covered towns between 2007 and 2010, together with the annual average cost per call and average annual cost per town based on its call volume. He cautioned against drawing comparisons since the service the department provides varies from town to town and from year to year. Philpot indicated that the data offered no reason for the commission to reconsider its initial position.
SUICIDE from page 2 killing prominent attorney Jerrold Shelley at about 9:20 a.m. The bodies in Wellton were found between 8:20 and 9:45 a.m. Police believe Dyess drove back toward Wellton, pulled over and fatally shot himself. His body was found at 10:47 a.m. inside a vehicle. Shelley was killed in his downtown law office. Shelley represented Dyess’ ex-wife in their 2006 divorce, which was Dyess’ fifth. Vida Florez, a Yuma attorney who knew Shelley, said she learned of the shooting after leaving court. She said she heard from a witness who spoke to the
police about what happened inside the office. “They said the shooter came in and told the secretary to ‘Get out of here,’” Florez said. “She did, and he shot Jerry Shelley and he left.” Shelley also was one of the lawyers representing seven young men — three sets of brothers — who sued the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson after accusing a priest of repeatedly raping them when they were children. A man and woman were found dead in a small farm house outside the nearby town of Wellton, said Yuma police Sgt. John Otero. The tree-shaded home see next page

SANBORNTON — Selectmen swore-in Paul Dexter Jr. Wednesday night as the town’s third fulltime fire chief. Dexter, who was accompanied by his wife Carol and their three children, Justin Dexter, Emilio Sanchez and Jenna Sanchez at last night’s ceremony, will relocate to the area. A native of Bellows Falls, Vt. Dexter served and the Fire Chief of North Walpole, N.H. from 1990 to 2003 before become a site coordinator at the Vermont Fire Academy and state fire instructor.

A judge issued an order of protection against Dyess in one of the cases in 2006, and a court clerk said it

N.J. governor reimburses state for personal business helicopter flights
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — After taking a beating for more than a day, Gov. Chris Christie agreed Thursday to reimburse the state for personal use of a police helicopter to fly to two of his son’s high school baseball games and a political dinner with GOP donors. But the governor, revered among Republicans for his hard-charging, budget-cutting ways and reviled among many Democrats for the same traits, made no apologies for what he called an effort to be a good father. Christie, often mentioned as a potential 2012 presidential candidate, said he paid $2,100 and asked the state Republican Party to pay $1,200 to cover the costs — not because he believed he was in the wrong but because the furor had become a distraction from serious matters. “I want to make sure the public understands that I’m doing this because of the duty I feel to them to have my attention and everyone else’s attention focused 100 percent on the real problems of this state,” he said, “not the political theater and media
theater that people enjoy at times.” “I also understand this is a really fun media story for all of you,” he told reporters at a bill signing ceremony in Denville. He said he had been assured by the state police that he did not have to reimburse the state for the personal flights because the pilots needed to log the flying hours anyway to keep their skills sharp. And he said he chose to fly to his son’s ballgames as a way of balancing his role as governor because there was no other way to get there in time. “We tried to balance me being governor, and my demands on that, with my responsibility as a father,” Christie said. “I’m governor 24-7, every single day, but I’m also a father. And the fact of the matter is, sometimes when you are governor, you do not control your schedule.” Christie’s reversal came a day after a spokesman defended the trips as appropriate and said the governor does not reimburse for security and travel.
PETERSON from page 3 really great person? I’ve been in the presence of many great people, but none really compare to Walter,” said state Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, who was a college student when he first met Peterson and later worked with him as vice president of Franklin Pierce University and president of Daniel Webster College. Both men were huge sports fans and often attended college games together, D’Allesandro said. Andy Peterson said his father played semi-pro basketball in his 20s, including for the Boston Hobos. “That is how my mother met him,” he said. D’Allesandro last visited Peterson on Saturday in the hospital. “I held his hand, and he gave me that great smile,” said D’Allesandro, D-Manchester. “But he obviously
was in pain.” In 2007, when D’Allesandro and Peterson participated in NPR’s “StoryCorps” project, Peterson was asked who he’d most like to have dinner with. He picked his late father, D’Allesandro recalled. “Here’s a guy who’s met presidents, met dignitaries all over the world, and the most important person in his life was his father,” the senator said. “He was a giving, amazing guy.” Born in Nashua, Peterson graduated from Nashua High School and The New Hampton School. He attended William and Mary College and the University of New Hampshire and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1947. He also was a Navy veteran, partner in a real estate business and served as president of the 1974 state constitutional convention.
Laconia Police break up underage drinking party on Big Bend Drive
LACONIA — City Police issued summons to 10 underage people Wednesday night after breaking up a underage drinking party on Big Bend Drive. Sgts. Dennis Ashley and Thomas Swett reported that Officer Justin Blanchette responded to the area around 11:45 p.m. after getting a report of a loud party. When he arrived he found a total of 12 under-aged people on the property, 10 of whom had been consuming alcoholic beverages. Nine men and one woman were issued summons and all under-aged people were released to sober adults.
Lt. Alfred Lessard said the city has applied for an underage alcohol police grant that it has received in the past to add more patrols, including undercover officers, to monitor underage drinking. In addition Lessard said the city has gotten federal and or state police grants for drunken driving patrols, seat belt monitoring and speeding. The city also received a grant Lessard called the Operation Safe Community that allows extra patrols for traffic monitoring for three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon.

EMINENT DOMAIN from page 2 wouldn’t solve the problem and would set a bad example for businesses. Besides, they pointed out, Forrester’s amendment and any others would be considered by the committee when it further studies the bill. The problem, they said, is that the state needs to re-examine its eminent domain laws, last updated in 2006. Republican Sen. Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro said the process by which a public utility requests a property by eminent domain is not at all easy or quick. “It will be litigated to death. It will take forever. This project is not going to move forward regardless of what we do today at the Public Utilities Commission any time soon,” he said. “What we should be thinking about is how we can create the win-win” that benefits property owners and businesses, he said. Project opponents said the bill would stop the
Northern Pass from using eminent domain because the energy from the project isn’t needed in the state. North Pass supporters argue the bill would stop construction of other projects, and that eminent domain itself is rarely used. Representatives of Public Service of New Hampshire have said the bill would have unintended consequences for the state, such as curtailing the state’s ability to provide cost-effective electricity over the long term. The project is proposed by PSNH’s parent company, Northeast Utilities, as well as NSTAR and HydroQuebec. The companies say it would create about 1,200 jobs a year during its three-year construction phase. Construction groups are against the bill. Hundreds of people from across the state attended hearings on the House-passed bill. Opponents argued it could stop many necessary electric transmission upgrades.
TORNADO from page 2 from coming to harm. In a move recalling a famous video from the recent deadly tornado in Missouri that documented shoppers’ terrifying moments inside a convenience store cooler, Calabrese herded them into a walk-in freezer, where six to eight endless minutes passed while the building shook and windows shattered. “What else are we going to do?” he said. “We sat inside and waited it out.” No one in the store suffered a scratch. The storms hit as many people headed home from work Wednesday, paralyzing motorists who could see the twister coming at them. A fixed television camera caught dramatic images of a debris-filled tunnel cloud crossing the Connecticut River and slamming into Springfield, a workingclass city of about 140,000 residents, where it cut a swath of destruction 10 blocks wide in some spots. The city is home to the Basketball Hall of Fame, which was spared damage. Michael Valentin, 29, said he was eating at a soup kitchen near downtown when he started hearing thunder and went outside. “All this was chaos,” he said. “It was like a mad wind twisting. It was destroying everything. Cars were being smashed against walls. Pieces of wood and trees were flying in the air.” Debbie Perkins, 30, was filling up a small backyard swimming pool for some children when they spotted the funnel. They ran into the home and huddled in the basement. “The kids, they were all screaming and crying,” Perkins said. Unlike many of her neighbors, she
escaped without damage to her home. Among the injured in Springfield was a prosecutor struck in the head by debris while walking to her car; she is expected to survive, but her name was not released. The Hampden County district attorney, Mark Mastroianni, said he barely escaped injury himself when plate glass windows shattered and blew into his office and a conference room. “People started to scream, ‘Get away from the windows,’ and as I was just turning to run, the glass window just came flying in,” he said. Fabiola Guerrero wept Thursday as she returned to the wreckage of her family’s home, which collapsed and crushed to death her 39-year-old mother, Angelica, as she sheltered a younger daughter in a bathtub. Guerrero said her sister was trapped for two hours before being rescued. Guerrero said her mother always said she would die for her daughter. “She was an amazing woman,” she said. The devastation was repeated in town after town around Springfield. Some of the most severe damage was in Monson, about 15 miles away, where homes were leveled and a historic church was badly damaged. “This isn’t supposed to happen here,” Sen. John Kerry said after touring the damage in Monson, usually a quiet mountain hamlet about 90 miles west of Boston. The toppled steeple of the First Church of Monson — founded in 1762 and rebuilt in 1873 — was a symbol of the heartbreak many residents were feeling. But townspeople were relieved that no one in the town of fewer than 10,000 was killed — and were determined to rebuild.

The Top 10 graduating seniors for 2011 By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — “We’ve all been friends since elementary school,” said Chloe Hood, the lone young woman among the top 10 graduating seniors at InterLakes High School. “Except for Nick (Sapack),” Matt Otis reminded her, prompting Sapack to explain that he came to town from Maryland in sixth grade. “We’re a brotherhood,” declared Austin Hart. “A fellowship,” Adam Merkwan corrected him out of respect for Hood. Ringing a table in the guidance department on a sunny afternoon, all 10 agreed that they owed a large measure of their individual academic success to their mutual friendship. “We’ve competed with one another,” said Cody Cook, who represents the student body on the School Board, “but it’s always friendly competition.” “We push each other,” said Teddy Willey, the class president, who will study economics and history at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. with his sights set on law school and a politi-
cal career. The group includes the three remaining class officers — Merkwan the vice-president, Sapack the treasurer and Evan Mega the secretary. “We’re driven by fear of criticism,” Hood remarked, drawing peals of laughter for her candor. “We all work really hard and take things seriously,” she continued, “but we also have a lot of fun.” “If you saw us in class,” Cook added, “you wouldn’t believe we’re serious students.” Within their fellowship, there are smaller, equally close partnerships, reflecting the diverse talents and interests of the ten. Cook, Willey and Hart, together with Galen Muskat and Sven Gustafson, formed the LifeSmarts team that captured the school’s third consecutive state championship. Their victory earned them a trip to Hollywood, where they met Jay Leno and Rob Lowe on the set of the Tonight Show, before placing second in their third bid for a national crown. This spring Eliot Johnson, who plays piano, will join Hart on saxophone, Merkwan on drums, Sapack see next page

Dirk & Mavs stun heat, 95-93 MIAMI -- Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks put a stunning end to their misery in Miami. Now they can win their first NBA title without ever coming back to South Florida. Nowitzki made the tie-breaking layup with 3.6 seconds left, and the Mavericks roared back from 15 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Heat 95-93 on Thursday night and tie the NBA finals at one game apiece. Capping a furious rally by scoring Dallas’ final nine points, Nowitzki’s final two baskets were lefthanded -- despite a torn tendon on that non-shooting hand. He finished with 24 points. Dwyane Wade had 36 points for Miami, but his desperation 3-pointer was off at the buzzer. Game 3 is Sunday in Dallas. Seemingly out of the game when the Heat led 88-73 with 7:15 remaining, Dallas held the Heat to just one field goal from there, a 3-pointer by Mario
Chalmers with 24.5 seconds that tied it just 2 seconds after Nowitzki’s 3 had made it 93-90. But after a timeout, Jason Kidd ran the clock down before getting the ball to Nowitzki, who drove into the lane, spun back to the left and made the layup. Jason Terry, largely silent since the first half of Game 1, fueled the comeback with a couple of jumpers and finished with 16 points. Shawn Marion had 20 points for the Mavericks, who had lost four straight finals games in Miami since taking a 2-0 lead in the 2006 series. They were about to go down 2-0 this time before Nowitzki, who insisted his injured finger wouldn’t hinder him, led a rally even more amazing than the one that won Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, when the Mavs trailed Oklahoma City by 15 in the fourth quarter before pulling it out in overtime. LeBron James scored 20 points for the Heat.
from preceding page on trumpet and guitar and Mega on saxophone and guitar, in New York and Pennsylvania where the quintet will participate in a concert and jazz band competition. Sapack and Matt Otis played together on the InterLakes boys’ basketball team; Gustafson, Merkwan and Hart made up the core of the school’s Alpine ski team; and Hart, Merkwan, Muskat and Willey ranked as the top Nordic ski team in the state. For good measure Merkwan, who ran track in the spring, set a school record in the 800 meters and fell four seconds shy of the record in the 1500 meters. Half of the 10 plan on pursuing engineering in college. Otis and Johnson will both attend Northeastern University in Boston, where each with a display of good humor said he would not share a room with the other. Otis said he has yet to chose a field of engineering while Johnson said that along with engineering he was weighing computer science and music. Sapack will study engineering at the University of New Hampshire while aerospace engineering has drawn Merkwan to Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York. Mega plans to begin with engineering at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, where a three-year course is completed with a year at Columbia University in New York, but like Johnson is also eying music, either as a production or sound engineer, which he said would require transferring to another school.
Both Gustafson and Hart have chosen St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, a mere 15 miles from the river of the same name dividing the United States and Canada. Gustafson plans to study particle physics as well as spend a year abroad at a Swedish university while Hart, who will bid for a spot on the alpine ski team, is considering a major in geology. Muskat will pursue a pre-med course at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he also hopes to ply the waters of Cayuga Lake as a member of the lightweight crew. Following a trip to Ireland, Cook will enroll at the University of Chicago to study economics in one of the most celebrated departments in the country in anticipation of a career in international relations and commerce. Staying closer to home, Hood will attend the University of New Hampshire to study French. And unlike her classmates, she will not go to college alone, but in the company of “Carry,” her six year old chestnut thoroughbred. Together they will help the UNH Equestrian Team, defend its title as northeast champions of the Interscholastic Horse Show Association. After listening to the majors and aspirations of her nine male counterparts, Hood remarked “I’ll only have a foreign language.” What these 10 have achieved in their time together has prepared them well to succeed without one another.

20th Annual ‘Wood Days’ celebration at Old Ways Traditions in Canterbury
The 20th Annual “Wood Days” celebration will be held at Old Ways Traditions from 10 a.m. — 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5. Food and fun for the whole family will be featured at the event including music, guided tours, woodworking — even sharing the forge with a real blacksmith. No clowning around! (Courtesy photo)
CANTERBURY — The 20th Annual “Wood Days” celebration will be held at Old Ways Traditions from 10 a.m. — 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5. With the support of the Guild of NH Woodworkers, “Wood Days” started at Canterbury Shaker Village as a sharing and networking event for woodworkers and woodworking appreciators. In addition to its location move, the event has grown into an opportunity for families and community to connect with our New England heritage of self-sufficiency from local resources. New Hampshire is four-fifths forested, and log trucks frequent our roads. How much do we appreciate how our forests sustain our lives? Granite Staters are gifted with a rich variety of forest material to utilize in infinite ways. At “Wood Days,” while a sawmill turns logs into lumber, attendees can observe and participate in the processes of changing wood into useful products — boats, spoons, timber frames, carriers, bowls, baskets, and fiddles. Visitors
can also try the tools our ancestors used and are still used today, and take home finished products, including many produced on site. Activities will include following a short trail to find the various trees the wood comes from, or taking a guided tour through the fields and woods and along the stream of the 1785 farm and learning its history. One might also work with Master Stone Wall Builder Kevin Fife, or share the forge with Blacksmith Mike Cook — maybe even make a hook! Other “Wood Days” highlights will include local food by The Maples of Warner and old time and bluegrass bands both afternoons. Homefolks will play Saturday at noon followed by Geddes Road Band at 2 p.m. On Sunday, the Mink Hills Band will perform at noon with Bow Junction following at 2 p.m. Suggested donation is $5. For more information, call Dave and Anne Emerson at 783-4403, e-mail efurnitr@comcast.net, or visit www.oldwaystraditions.net.
‘Learn to Row’ for adults offered by Winnipesaukee Rowing Club beginning June 21 MEREDITH — The Winnipesaukee Rowing Club will be offering a “Learn to Row” course for adults beginning on June 21. Consisting of eight sessions, “Learn to Row” will include off-water technique and proper sculling technique on the water. According to coach Paul Euiler, who started the
Club in 2003, rowing is a sport that requires dedication and hard work, and is ideal for the “new” athlete or for athletes who have yet to find their niche. Along with cross country skiing, rowing is considered to be the ultimate total body sport, combining upper, core, and lower body strength and endurance. Sculling is the primary focus of the Club, which
has two different training/racing seasons. The spring races are considered sprints, which are faster and of shorter duration. The fall races are longer, which build technique — and character. Euiler is a U.S. Rowing Certified Coach and gains assistance from his wife Beth as well as from other volunteer coaches including Linda Sirowec and Karen Porrazzo, who competed with the UNH rowing team and College Boat Club of Pennsylvania. The Winnipesaukee Rowing Club practices late afternoons at Lake Waukewan near the boat ramp in Meredith. For more information about the Club or the “Learn to Row” adult class, e-mail the Euilers at omni1492@ yahoo.com.
New Hampshire Boat Museum seeks items for New England Vintage Boat Auction July 16
WOLFEBORO — The New Hampshire Boat Museum is seeking boat consignments and donations for its annual New England Vintage Boat Auction to be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 16.

Outboard motors and boating accessories are also welcome. The Museum is also looking for rustic camp items or lake memorabilia in order to provide a wide variety on the auction block. Items can range from antique outboard motors and water skis, camp tables, chairs, stools, lamps, and duck decoys, as well as decorative items such as lake prints and water colors. The New England Vintage Boat Auction is the Museum’s largest annual fundraiser and draws hundreds of registered bidders every year. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Registration forms are available by calling 569-4554 or by e-mailing the Museum at auction@nhbm.org.
Jim Vander Hooven to run in Mt. Washington Road Race to benefit Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region

(Courtesy photo)
LACONIA — Jim Vander Hooven, the President of the Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region, will be running in the 51st Mt. Washington Road Race to benefit the Club on Saturday, June 18. The Road Race, which is all uphill, covers the length of the auto road at 7.6 miles with a 4,700 foot ascent. To prepare for the race, Vander Hooven has been running up the local mountains and doing a lot of squats with his two boys on his shoulders. “They definitely keep me fit even if I can’t get out running.” According to Vander Hooven, “my goal is to raise $1 for every foot of ascent, a total of $4,700, to benefit the programs offered by the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region.” Vander Hooven has been excited about this opportunity to run in this race for a long time and finally “won” the lottery this year. “Around a thou-
sand runners are randomly selected to run the race, and while I don’t pretend to compete, I am hoping to finish the race in less than two hours,” he said. “Ultimately, though, I believe I will find great strength knowing that with each foot I ascend, one dollar will be going to help fund much needed youth programs in our community.” Vander Hooven has been the Board President for over a year and a member of the board for three years. “When I stop by the Club, I can see the good that the programs are doing for the kids who attend,” he said. “I am hoping that the community will support my race this year with donations toward the $4,700 goal.” Anyone interested in making a donation toward this worthy endeavor is encouraged to send a check made out to the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region to P.O. Box 1536, Laconia, NH 03247.
‘The 2012 Fraud: Misreading the Maya and Their Calendars’ topic of discussion at Meredith Public Library MEREDITH — “The 2012 Fraud: Misreading the Maya and Their Calendars” will be the topic of a discussion to be held at the Public Library beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 8. How many “ends of the world” have we lived through so far? Is the hysteria surrounding 2012 fraud and misrepresentation aimed at separating people from their money based on falsehoods about the Maya calendars? R.P. Hale, of Aztec heritage, will
present a fully illustrated and participatory program with a surprising conclusion. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the history of the Apocalypse — mankind’s second oldest story — along with what the Maya calendars are and how they work. This is a New Hampshire Humanities Council Program co-sponsored by the Friends of the Meredith Library. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call 279-4303.

By Holiday Mathis you do in pursuit of a hobby will open your horizons in other ways, as well. A new source of income opens to you. This could be the start of something significant. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships are a push-and-pull dance, and you’d rather be on the “pull” end of things. It is more interesting and less tiring to reel the other person in with your enchanting personality than to be pushy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A sympathetic ear is welcome, although it’s not the best role you could take on right now with a certain someone. Instead of being nurturing and sympathetic, be an exciting and compelling force. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is someone you want to like, and you want this person to like you, too. You hope this person will continue to play the little game you’ve got going. Hint: Flattery is the fastest way to get through the door. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You would love to be a source of surprise and delight to others, which is why you will keep some of your plans a secret. So much depends on your ability to manage the expectations of those around you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 3). You’ll sample many options through this month and then finally decide on the best course. That’s when you become tremendously tenacious and confident and people will move to accommodate you as you work steadily toward your goals. New relationships start in August. September brings a windfall. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 11, 14 and 15.
by Richard Thompson
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your world is not the same world as the one your next-door neighbor experiences. Understanding the differences will make you a very wise person. Your powers are greater than you know. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be in an enterprising mood and not likely to wait for others to show you where the opportunities for fun and profit lie. Anyway, it’s likely that none will exist until you arrive on the scene and create them. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll make a positive impression, and the ensuing connection shows promise. Yet, you may be unsure about the nature of this relationship and where to take it next. Take it slow, and keep an open mind. CANCER (June 22-July 22). How you frame things makes all the difference in how they are received. For instance, when a job seems beneath you but you still have to do it, give it a new title -- the fancier the better. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). New sources of inspiration are affecting your mental process. As your imagination continues to work on a problem, unusual thoughts pop to mind and your dreams take a highly creative turn, as well,. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The normal rules of etiquette may go out the window because there is more pressing business at hand. You may even invite yourself to someone’s house or show up unexpectedly, but your reason will be good. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People are talking about an array of wacky topics. You have a charming way of focusing the attention on what’s wonderful about life in general. Everyone around you will feel calm and secure. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, June 3, the 154th day of 2011. There are 211 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 3, 1861, Illinois Sen. Stephen A. Douglas, the Democratic presidential nominee in the 1860 election, died in Chicago of typhoid fever; he was 48. On this date: In 1621, the Dutch West India Co. received its charter for a trade monopoly in parts of the Americas and Africa. In 1808, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was born in Christian County, Ky. In 1888, the poem “Casey at the Bat,” by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, was first published in the San Francisco Daily Examiner. In 1937, the Duke of Windsor, who had abdicated the British throne, married Wallis Warfield Simpson in Monts, France. In 1948, the 200-inch reflecting Hale Telescope at the Palomar Mountain Observatory in California was dedicated. In 1961, President John F.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have two daughters, “Kathy” and her younger sister, “Carly,” both in their late 20s. Carly and I have always had a rocky relationship, stemming from my being the disciplinarian since my wife refused to do it. Kathy always seemed more understanding and forgiving. After Carly graduated and I no longer sent her monthly checks, she stopped speaking to me. She only contacted me when she needed something. Last fall, she had my first grandchild. I didn’t even know she was pregnant until I got a card from her a few months after the baby was born. I still don’t know the baby’s name, sex or birth date or if Carly married the father. I don’t even know who the father is. I’m heartbroken, not only because Carly kept it a secret, but because Kathy also kept it from me. Kathy says she didn’t want to get involved because it was between Carly and me. How do I deal with this? -- Need Help in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: You must forgive Kathy. She was between a rock and a hard place, but she was right that the decision to inform you belonged to her sister. Instead of focusing on how much this hurt, try to look for ways to mend your relationship with both of your daughters, especially Carly. You might even ask Kathy for help and suggestions. And sometimes a new grandchild can provide a reason to repair an estrangement. We hope so. Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 19 years. We have a blended family with four children still at home. “Joe” is an alcoholic and a heavy smoker. When I was ready to leave him over the drinking, he begged me to stay and is now two months sober. We quit smoking together 11 years ago, but after four years, Joe started up again. He’s now smoking three packs a day, often in the house. My father had four brothers who smoked. Three of them died of lung cancer, as did my father. Given my family his-
tory, I do not want my children or myself exposed to cigarette smoke. I hate the smell on my hair and clothes. Kids at school have asked my 16-year-old if she started smoking because they can smell it on her. Joe does not believe secondhand smoke is a health risk. I begged him, in tears, to stop smoking in the house. I do not want to give up on a 19-year marriage, but I want to live to see my grandchildren. Should I walk? -- Not So Lucky in Kentucky Dear Not Lucky: The dangers of secondhand smoke are well documented, and anyone who refuses to admit the risks is in deep denial. Your husband is addicted to tobacco and may be unable to give it up without assistance. Suggest he speak to his doctor and also look into smokefree.gov for tips. Until then, insist he smoke outside the home. If he is unwilling to make the effort to protect your health and that of your children, you should ask him to leave. Dear Annie: Why do you try to find a reason (sleep apnea, low testosterone, etc.) for a man’s low sex drive? Let’s be honest. It’s called getting older. Do you seriously expect men who are 50, 60 and older to have the same sex drive they did when they were in their 20s? You are denying the facts of life. As we get older, our reproductive years are behind us. Quit trying to pump a sex drive into this guy with shots, pills or counseling. It’s unnatural. -- Realist Dear Realist: While testosterone levels decline as men age, there is nothing natural about a 50-year-old man losing his sex drive entirely. Low testosterone can cause depression, infertility, hair loss, osteoporosis, decreased muscle mass, fatigue and sleep disturbances. These are medical issues that can be helped with appropriate treatment.
