New appraisal finds state school land worth only $1.5M

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — With the state bent on selling and the city interested in acquiring the acreage on North Main Street that once housed the Laconia State School and Lakes Region (prison) Facility, the commis-

sion, chaired by City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), appointed by the Legislature in 2009 to study the future of the property issued its report yesterday.

The report notes that the city “anticipates submitting a formal proposal to the state for

acquisition of all or a portion of the main parcel,” consisting of 212 acres bounded by North Main Street to the east, Meredith Center Road to the north, Eastman Road to the west and Ahern State Park to the south.

Initially, the city expressed interest only in the 77 acres

bounded by North Main Street, Meredith Center Road and Right Way Path and the 60 acres known as Risley Field, which the city leases from the state to provide parking for the Robbie Mills Sports Complex.

PARIS (AP) — France acknowledged Wednesday that it airlifted weapons to Libyan civilians fighting Moammar Gadhafi’s forces in a besieged mountain region south of Tripoli, becoming the first NATO country to do so in a major escalation in the international campaign.

The bold move was likely to draw criticism from countries leery of the allied use of force in Libya’s civil war — like China and Russia — and crossed a threshold in hopes of a breakthrough in the protracted NATO-led mission.

The deliveries of guns, rocket-propelled grenades and munitions took place in early June in the western Nafusa mountains, when Gadhafi’s troops had encircled civilians and his government refused a U.N request for a pause in the fightsee LIBYA page 13

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece fended off a bankruptcy that threatened to roil global financial markets, approving severe spending cuts and tax increases Wednesday in the face of violent protests by Greeks who say they have suffered enough.

The package of austerity measures would keep bailout money flowing to Greece from other European countries and the International Monetary Fund.

It would free $17 billion in fresh loans, although the money will only be enough to see the nation through September.

Investors around the world cheered the

news, but protesters, fighting tear gas, hurled whatever they could find at riot police and tried to blockade the Parliament building.

“This is bad. The country will be sold for a piece of bread,” said insurer Dimitris Kostopoulos. “There were many other more appropriate alternatives to this. Parliament has once again betrayed us.”

Public sector salaries and pensions have been cut in the past year, and unemployment is above 16 percent. By comparison, it is about 9 percent in the United States.

Parliament approved $40 billion in tax

increases and spending cuts, and privatization of public services to raise $71 billion more, all through 2015. Greece’s overall economic output is about $330 billion, or roughly the size of Washington state’s.

The $17 billion in loans are the latest batch in a $157 billion bailout by the European Union and the IMF. Parliament is expected to pass another bill Thursday to implement the austerity measures.

Without the bailout money, Greece was at risk of default. While no one knows for sure what would have happened next, analysts see GREECE page 8

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown and the Democrats who dominate the California Legislature on Wednesday celebrated the rare enactment of a state budget before the fiscal year begins, after using their new power to pass the spending plan with a simple majority vote.

But the $86 billion budget approved Tuesday night is only the starting point for a larger political fight to come. In true California style, it will be up to voters to decide the biggest issue the governor promised but failed to deliver this year —

an increase in taxes to help end the state’s ongoing budget mess.

Voters almost certainly will be asked to weigh in on one or more tax proposals in 2012, as well as whether to institute a strict cap on state spending. Public employee unions and anti-tax groups already are gearing up for an intense year of proposed reforms, although it’s unclear whether one of the Republicans’ top priorities — changes to the public pension system — will be among the moves.

Brown promised voters during his cam-

paign for governor last year that he would not impose tax increases without a vote of the people. He had hoped to ask Californians to extend for up to five years a series of temporary increases in the sales, vehicle and income taxes approved by the state Legislature in 2009.

But he needed two GOP votes in each house of the state Legislature to put that measure on the ballot, and after six months of talks he announced this week that he had lost that battle. see CALIF. page 12

CONCORD (AP) — A coalition representing New Hampshire’s public employees sued Wednesday to stop the state from charging workers more toward their pensions.

The New Hampshire Retirement Security Coalition also asked a Merrimack County Superior Court to stop the Legislature from interfering with the pension system board’s

ability to set employers’ rates.

The board voted earlier this month to move ahead with $50 million in higher rates for employers on top of already planned rate increases. The Legislature voted to block the board and stick with the planned rate increases.

The Republican-crafted pension changes

were in the budget package Democratic Gov. John Lynch allowed to become law without signature at midnight Tuesday.

Lynch had vetoed a separate bill containing the changes because lawmakers had already said they would put a revised pension bill in the budget package. see PENSION page 14

Yes, let government control health care costs “Centralizers,” a conservative wrote disapprovingly in Reason magazine, “say that the responsibility for making tough decisions about how to keep health care costs under control ought to be made by enlightened, well-intentioned policy elites.”

I don’t know. These “elites” beat the heck out of corporate interests trying to sell me treatments I don’t need or whose results can be duplicated at far lower cost.

Author Peter Suderman was touting “consumer-driven health care.”

When people use their own money to buy health care, the theory goes, they are more careful about costs.

One model for consumer-driven health care is a health savings account paired with a high-deductible insurance policy. The HSA lets people sock away pre-tax dollars to be spent on medical needs. What’s not used that year can be invested for future health care costs. Should some superexpensive medical condition arise, the insurance plan kicks in (after the large deductible is met).

Sounds promising ... but. In reality, HSAs don’t do much to control costs because the big spending occurs in the serious cases, after traditional insurance has taken over.

When trying to sell “privatization” to a wary public, conservatives often imply that government smarties look down on the little guy.

Sure enough, Suderman accuses the elites of believing that “individuals cannot be trusted to make prudent decisions about their own health expenses.”

Whoa. Now I can be “trusted” to shop for the lowest price. But how would I know whether Dr. Discount is a skilled practitioner or that a cheaper treatment would be equally effective? The person who must be trusted is the doctor, not the consumer. If my doctor say, “I don’t like your indigestion, you need an endoscopy,” do I don a white jacket and say, “Doc, shouldn’t we try Tums first?” I would not.

Aha, say those who would strap consumers into the medical cockpit: You will have all the information you need to second-guess your doctors. It will be on the Internet. Great. Let’s treat stomach polyps with apple cider vinegar. (That’s what they say at

www.earthclinic.com.)

What patients and doctors need is a U.S. government website run by an enlightened, well-intentioned policy elite that studies various treatments for the same condition and compares their performance.

That’s how we can find effective, less costly care.

This is the point of comparative effectiveness research, and guess what? Republicans hate it. Information-wise, their backers in the medical-industrial complex want only their advertisers to stand between you and their products. For a sampling of the passions, almost-GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee called comparative effectiveness research “the poisonous tree of which death panels will grow.”

“It’s ironic that many of the strongest supporters of consumer-driven health care are opposed to comparative effectiveness research,” Peter Orzag, former director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, told me. “Regardless of your vision, you need comparative effectiveness research.”

One need not be a genius, or even an enlightened elite, to guess that once this information is out there, most payers will not shell out $50,000 for a course of chemo that produces no better results than an older kind costing $10,000. And here’s where elements of consumer-driven health care can actually work: Say the patient insists on getting the $50,000 treatment because it takes two hours less. The insurer (be it government or private) pays $10,000, and the patient comes up with the $40,000 difference. Thus, consumers have the freedom to obtain whatever expensive regimen they want, but others don’t have to subsidize their extravagant care.

For most of us, however, “consumer-driven health care’’ will mean that when the doctor says go get an MRI, the consumer drives himself to the clinic.

(A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

Why wasn’t this important news for senior drivers in the paper?

To the editor, I just took my drivers road test for being over 75 when my license came do. After I took the road test and came out with a score of 100 they told me that as of July 15th, 2011 it is no longer required. HB 549 779:1 Drivers’ Licenses; Reexamination and RSA 263:7 to read as follows: The age of the license holder shall not constitute cause for reexamination under this section.

You will still have to take the eye test each time you get a new license.

I called the Sun about putting this in the paper. Now that is news. They did not put it in the paper I guess because they have to save space for those long-long winded, make-mefeel-good Letters to the Editor.

Kirk Dougal Gilford (Editor’s note: One of those letters, from Bill Whalen in Sanbornton, informed readers of the passage of this important piece of legislation — HB-549 — on May 21, 2011.)

LETTERS We can find the money to keep that extra police officer on force To the editor, I am proposing to restore the funds necessary to keep the patrolman that will be cut from the Laconia police force. The cost to keep this officer is $57,000.

Public safety in today’s society is of the utmost importance to all citizens and recently we have seen an increase in drug crimes and robberies. Our police force has been doing an outstanding job in solving many of these crimes due to the fact we moved a patrolman up to detective. With the retirement of Chief Moyer, several officers moved up in the ranks leaving us with one less officer. With the cut proposed in their budget, we would have to move that detective down to patrolman if they can’t keep the force at the same level.

As I was preparing to submit this letter to the papers, I read in the morning edition of the break-ins in the homes of retired people while they were asleep. We will see more of this kind of crime if we don’t have the number of officers we need to protect all citizens.

Recently, at the Business and Industry Association’s seventh annual meeting, it was noted that Laconia is a graying city, and tourism will be our main industry. Seniors, like me and all the other residents need to feel safe and that they can go about the city without fear. Tourists coming into Laconia must also feel that it is a wonderful place to come and walk about without wondering if they are in a safe area. All of Laconia is and will remain that way by having the necessary force in place as we do today.

Safety is also good economics. If people feel safe, they will go out in the evening as well as daytime to shop, go to restaurants, find entertainment, and allow their children to experience

freedom in their outdoor activities. A reduction in manpower might necessitate overtime which is what we are insisting come down or eliminate.

Overtime adds to budgets and our police department has done a significant job in cutting this item so far.

There is money in the carry forwards, not much, as we have had to take some this week to save legal and health insurance issues. But, add to whatever we get from carry forwards, we have been carrying $25,000 a year in new park equipment for three years as well as $40,000 in the account for the proposed park at the Weirs. The outside contract account has money left and the downtown fund has been holding money from previous budgets in the amount of $15,000. There is money in the landfill cap/liner item.

I also remember we discussed using some of the debt fund money for the city if needed. Is the Huot building getting all of it, $400,000? We should be able to use some of that. Councilor Hamel asked at Monday’s meeting to take some of it for sidewalks. I note the boardwalk bond column shows $239,854. Is this something that can be used or used for something else that would release that projects money for something? There may be explanations for some of these, and they will come up at the budget hearing Thursday, the 30th (today). My point is we have to fund those projects that are most vital to the community.

Maybe cuts can be made elsewhere.

We also anticipate increased revenues this year from impact fees and some from new fees for haulers at the transfer station.

Come to you council meeting Thursday, the 30th at 7:30 p.m. We will also be appointing the new city manager.

Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4, Laconia

Keep writing Leo, we’ll challenge you . . . but in a friendly way To the editor, Leo Sandy’s column on June 28 is, I believe, a good look into his mind.

Long ago I suggested that he write from his own thoughts, not crazy books he didn’t understand. Now he has done a lot of that, and sadly got

raked over the coals for some of it.

But, If you know what a nice friendly guy he really is, maybe we can all understand him a bit more.

This one shows how out of touch he is with reality, but, that is what see next page

Introducing Dinner

I didn’t ask for veteran health care, I just wanted an ID card picture and stated I should receive an ID in 5-7 days. After hearing nothing for several weeks, I called the VA. The VA stated that I was ineligible for health care. The policy is if a veteran is ineligible for health care, the veteran is not eligible for a veterans’ identification card. However, my data and image will be stored in the National Card Management Directory (NCMD).

I asked the VA why did the policy prohibit me for obtaining an ID card.

Once again, I was read the policy.

I asked what harm would it do if I were given an ID card that showed I was ineligible for health care. Once again, I was read the policy. I was also told that no exception could be made to the policy without congressional approval. The VA recommended that I contact my congressmen. I have contacted Congressman Bass and President Obama.

I do not feel it is unreasonable for a veteran to have a picture identification (ID) card that proves he or she is a veteran of the U.S. Military. Isn’t it ironic that I can vote without a picture ID but I cannot get a discount from a store.

Jim Mayotte Sanbornton

Are Republicans proud that UNH tuition is now 9% higher?

To the editor, The following is regarding the state budget.

The Republican Party consistently boasts that it “doesn’t raise taxes or fees”. However, it has shown with its budget package that it likes to reduce and eliminate sources of revenue. The 10-cent reduction in the cigarette tax is puzzling. According to House Speaker O’Brien, the reduction will spur business along N.H. borders. Massachusetts currently charges $2.51 per pack, a savings of 73 cents if one buys cigarettes in N.H. Seventy-three cents is a desirable savings right now! Will a 10-cent reduction really generate further sales? Will retailers really lower the price of cigarettes? Is there assurance that the tax break won’t be absorbed into the wholesale cost? Where is the data to support the supposition that N.H. will receive increased revenue from the reduction in this tax?

Adding to the confusion, it is reported that N.H. Legislators are on record stating that the tax reduction is revenue neutral – neither making or losing money. If the state doesn’t stand to increase revenues

by altering the tax, then why vote to lower the tax? So what do we have? O’Brien says the state will be making money, the Legislature says the tax reduction will neither make or lose money. Which is it?

The GOP budget also eliminated the $30 car registration fee. Why? This fee is not prohibitive to an individual. However, the loss in revenue will impact the state’s infrastructure.

Republican State Senator Chuck Morse of Salem is on record stating “People can be proud of the fact that we’re not using more taxes.” Should we be proud that the cost of attending UNH will rise nearly 9-percent, which will make obtaining an education very difficult for many residents?

Should we be proud of the reduction in the services to the elderly and the poor in terms of housing and meals?

Yes, there is a need to cut costs at both the state and federal levels. However, there is an equal responsibility to find and utilize sources of revenue and reducing and eliminating taxes and fees is not something to be proud of.

Marcia Hayward & Dick Dunnell Laconia

from preceding page he’d like reality to be. Can’t happen, because he has ignored the most important, competitive nature of people, which makes them successful.

We can’t deny that, BUT just maybe we can make competition a lot more friendly (yes, I’m a dreamer too). In schools we MUST have grading so students have goals and are encouraged to try harder. Face reality, only a few can make it to the top, but we must make those goals much more inclusive. We all know that a good mechanic, plumber, electrician, carpenter, painter, construction worker, etc is much more valuable than a total idiot with a doctor’s degree in nothing!

If you don’t know a LOT of medical doctors who are total idiots, then you are not paying attention. My experience, at all grades, has been that the BEST teachers are those with least “special education”. A masters or doctors’ degree almost proves they aren’t worth anything! Maybe Leo is trying to prove that in spades! What is an “expert”? One who knows nothing about anything else!

I hope Leo keeps writing, and we can continue to challenge him, but in a friendly way. Like him or not, he’s still a very nice guy!

To the editor, All I wanted to do is obtain a picture identification (ID) card that proves I am a veteran of the U.S. military.

Some stores offer discounts to veterans. For several years, these stores accepted discharge papers (DD214), Veterans’ organization cards, e.g., American Legion or military ID (disabled, active, etc.).

Most stores have changed their policy on giving discounts to veterans.

Stores are requiring a picture identification (ID) card that proves I am a veteran of the U.S. military.

I went to the local Veterans Affairs (VA) office in Tilton. I told the lady that I wanted to obtain a picture identification (ID) card that proved I am a veteran of the U.S. military. She gave me papers to send to the VA. These papers would determine if I was eligible for health care and were part of the process for obtaining an ID card.

Although, I already knew I was not eligible for health care due to means testing, I followed the process. Several days later, I received a form letter stating I was not eligible for health care. Please note, I do not disagree with this decision.

I took the paper to Tilton and showed them to the lady. She took my

To the editor, The importance of the old scripture “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. Proverbs 22 verse 6. Has serious relevance in today’s attacks on morality. “. . . every child in America entering school at age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, towards his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity…It’s up to you (psychologists and psychiatrists) to make all these sick children well..” Dr. Chester M. Pierce, Harvard University, keynote address to the Association for Childhood Education International, Denver, Colorado, April 1972.

For decades those who resisted communist tyranny in Russia disappeared, were found dead or admitted to insane asylums . All three methods silenced their voice. It did not silence the desire for freedom and truth. Both are outside the realm of understanding within Marxist ideology.

We see the push to close down private schools, curtail home schooling and get children at a younger age into the public school system where they can be reprogrammed. Governor Jean Shaheen was vocal on this subject once kindergarten age children were forced into the system. She remarked “ we need to get children at a younger age”.

The Department of Education has

been seeking to get children as young as two into the mills for years. Intimidation will start at a younger age.

Students in college have been threatened to be expelled from class if they mention religion, yet the professors feel safe to expound there religion of atheism. Students with any religious symbol on their person have been asked to hide it from view. When they refuse they are sent home. If a child quietly prays over her food she might be told by a teacher that she can not do that in school. One girl was told “praying in school is illegal. So it would appear that the state is no longer neutral on religion.

Since the days of “Rosey the Riveter” women’s lib has strived to remove the women from their homes and let others raise their children.

This should be resisted with determination. A happy and healthy child is one who is fortunate to have his/her mother near by, to nurture and comfort them as none other can do. How grateful I am to remember the many talents and wisdom of my mother as I grew up. Her unselfishness towards her children and grandchildren remain a treasure and joy to me as I grow old myself. May God bless all mothers who graciously give of themselves and their very soul to their posterity. That the earth will be blessed because of their tender and loving hearts.

End tenure, let’s get rid those whose cannot teach effectively

1 , JULY FRIDAYED FATE BRAID LY 2 DAY, JU SATUR G N JANE BAN 3 Y, JULY SUNDA SNOW PETE

To the editor, This past week, June 20 through 26th, has been brutal on our local professors and their dream school’s letters which were kind of like, ‘it’s all about me and what’s best for me”, recital. Both their ideas and perspectives were brought into clear focus and dismantled by a number of local letter writers showing how really disconnected the professors are from most of society. One writer went so far as to request that letters from Prof.

Sandy no longer be printed. Now I understand how frustrating reading his anti-American tripe, one world socialist government crap and all the rest is but not printing this stuff would be worse. It’s better to know what “great minds” (not) like his are really thinking and teaching our kids then to having them working undetected behind our backs. These ideas need to be challenged and debunked.

Teachers and professors live in a protective cocoon where job security is a given and excellence is just a suggestion not to be taken seriously. And to make sure this is the way it will always be they have their unions looking out for them. My problem is where are the kids’ unions? They don’t have any. Teachers’ unions give lip service about caring for kids but I see darn little evidence of it in our education systems. Did we not hear what our all knowing elitist professors thought about and wrote regarding private schools and vouchers? Just why is

it they fear so much about a little competition? Gee, could it be that people might get the idea that our schools are there for the benefit of our kids and not for a cushy, warm, safe cocoon for teachers?

Tenure was a concept and practice that was needed in times long past but the pendulum has swung so far the other way that it is past time that the practice be retired. Let’s get rid of those that can’t even teach effectively.

Suggestions have and are making the rounds that teachers pay be based on results as it is in most private sector jobs. I ask why not? If that’s good enough for every other industry then why not teaching? Look, doctors, lawyers, carpenters, plumbers, you name it, are all result based. If those professions rise or fall because of degrees of excellence why should not teachers?

What’s more how many other professions get every holiday off, every summer off, every school vacation plus teachers convention off?

I get really sick of these professors crying poor mouth. Try working in a factory, or construction, somewhere you actually have to produce high quality results to earn your living. On top of it all they begrudge any successful business owner who puts in their own sweat, time and money then calls them greedy this or thats. Who are really the greedy ones I ask you?

M Y M OTHER WAS H OME A LONE Until She Moved To Taylor Community

Before that, Mom needed some help in her home so we brought in an aide for 3 hours per day Monday through Friday. I also stopped by every day to visit. Yet even with all that, she was alone and lonely many hours every day and night. That’s why I’m so glad that she decided to move into the Assisted Living apartment at Taylor Community. And she loves living there.

Laconia’s 4th of July celebration will start with 4 p.m. parade up Main St. LACONIA — The city will mark Independence Day — the Fourth of July — with a parade, picnicking, music and fireworks at Opechee Park on Monday.

The celebration will open with a parade from Wyatt Park to Opechee Park beginning at 4 p.m., followed by food vendors and live music at 5 p.m. and closing with the fireworks at 10 p.m. The Eric Grant Band will top the bill.

The fireworks will be set off from

a barge floating in the lake in order to comply with minimum setbacks from public buildings and private homes. The display will feature fourinch shells, larger charges than were fired from atop the downtown parking garage the last couple of years.

The beach at Opechee Point will be closed during the afternoon of the fourth while the fireworks are loaded on to the barge.

Community college tuition going up 7.7% PORTSMOUTH (AP) — Tuition is going up for community college students in New Hampshire. In response to a 20 percent cut in state funding for the community college system, trustees voted Tuesday to raise tuition by 7.7 percent for the academic year beginning in the fall.

Themovefollowslastweek’svotebythetrustees of the University System to hike tuition at state universities by nearly 10 percent.

The community college increase

will add about $225 per semester to the average tuition bill for a full-time, in-state student. Annual tuition at the state’s seven community colleges will now be about $6,300 per year.

The chair of the board of trustees, Paul Holloway, said in a statement that the budget cuts have forced the system to make difficult decisions to preserve the quality of the school’s programs.

CONCORD — The Complaint Screening Committee, a branch of the attorney discipline system under the aegis of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, last week slapped Attorney General Michael Delaney and Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards on their respective wrists for ignoring an order of Belknap County Superior Court in the New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association (JUA) case.

Contrary to the court’s order, the attorney general’s office continued to represent two opposing parties in the prolonged litigation over the disposition of $110-million in surplus funds accumulated by the JUA. Although the committee found no professional misconduct, it reminded the pair of their obligation to comply with court orders.

In 2009, when policyholders of the JUA, including LRGHealthcare, challenged the state’s claim to the funds , they also sought to disqualify the Attorney General from representing both the state and the JUA. They argued that the interest of the state in transferring the JUA’s surplus to the general fund was at odds with the fiduciary duty of the JUA’s board of directors to its policyholders. Moreover, the policyholders told the court that since the attorney general’s office was one of the architects of the scheme to transfer the funds and provided a legal opinion justifying the maneuver, for it to represent both the state, in the form of the Insurance Department, and the JUA would be “an irreconcilable conflict of interest.”

The attorney general countered that the JUA is an agency of state government, created and supervised by the insurance commissioner by authority

granted in statute and described its board of directors and administrator as officials of the Insurance Department.

Justice Kathleen McGuire ruled for the policyholders, first that by finding that the JUA is not a part of state government and second by disqualifying the attorney general’s office from representing the JUA. A week later McGuire denied the state’s claim to the surplus funds.

The state appealed McGuire’s decision rejecting its claim to the money, but her rulings on the status of the JUA or the disqualification of the attorney general’s office. After the New Hampshire Supreme Court upheld McGuire’s order, attorneys for the policyholders approached the JUA about the disposition of the surplus funds. Edwards replied, explaining that she was writing “responding on behalf of our clients, (Insurance) Commissioner (Roger) Sevigny and the JUA board.”

With that the policyholders, in the names of Georgia Tuttle, a dermatologist of Lebanon, and lead plaintiff in the litigation, Henry Lipman senior vice-president and Chief Financial Officer of LRGHealthcare and Thomas Buchanan of the Derry Medical Center, filed a grievance with the Judicial Conduct Committee.

The complaint screening committee found no professional misconduct on the part of Delaney or Edwards. But, the committee noted that the order of the Superior Court, which the state did not appeal. The two, the committee, wrote “have been warned that in the future, if they have received such an Order from a Court, they are required to cease giving legal advice or directives to a party that is the subject of that Order, in that or any related matter.”

GREECE from page one have said it would have threatened the viability of the euro, the European Union’s common currency, and could have done much worse.

Some market experts had predicted a Greek default could have trigged another world financial meltdown, like what happened after the Lehman Brothers investment house collapsed in 2008 in the United States.

The risk is that banks, both in Europe and the U.S., would have had to chalk up billions of dollars in losses because of Greek loans that had gone bad. No one knows which U.S. banks hold what amount of Greek debt.

On Sunday, European finance ministers will meet in Brussels to work on a second bailout for Greece, expected to be similar in size to the first, in hopes of shoring up its finances beyond just a few months.

Banks are expected to share some of the burden. One way would be for banks to repurchase Greek bonds after they expire, as French banks have indicated they may do. Many economists still expect it won’t be enough.

“We must avoid the country’s collapse with every effort,” Prime Minister George Papandreou said before the vote. “Outside, many are protesting. Some are truly suffering. Others are losing their privileges. It is their

democratic right. But they and no one else must never suffer the consequences ... of a collapse.”

More protests could undermine the government’s ability to implement the harsh austerity measures, which tax even the lowest-paid Greeks and raise prices during a recession.

“They are not out of the water just yet,” said Carl Campus, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets.

The cuts and tax increases passed 155-138, with five voting “present” and backing neither side. During the vote, stun grenades echoed across a square outside Parliament. Acrid clouds of tear gas and orange and green smokebomb mist hung in the air.

Several banks and storefronts were smashed, while a Socialist dissenter who backed the government at the last minute, Alexandros Athanassiadis, was briefly assaulted by protesters after leaving Parliament on foot.

Violence continued throughout the afternoon, and smoke billowed from a post office beneath the finance ministry before a fire was put out. Rioters set up burning barricades along Syntagma Square, where demonstrators have staged a sit-in for the past month. Nearby streets were littered with chunks of smashed marble and ripped-up paving stones that had been thrown at police.

Naswa Resort & Governor John Lynch help Easter Seals NH celebrate its 75th Anniversary

LACONIA — Easter Seals NH marked its 75th anniversary Wednesday with a celebration held at the Naswa Resort at Weirs Beach, which saw Governor John Lynch stop by to honor the organization for the differences it had made in the quality of life for people with disabilities and special needs.

Easter Seals first opened its doors in 1936 as the NH Society for Crippled Children and since that time has grown into a multi-state organization which employs 1,400 people and provides services to over 23,000 children, adults and senior citizens through 60 different programs.

Lynch praised the organization’s efforts and the dedication of its employees and supporters, saying “there’s nothing more noble in this world than to try and make a difference in the life of other people’’, adding that the work of Easter Seals has provided hope and independence for thousands of people.

He also got to spend some time with eight-yearold Paxton Williams of New Boston, an Easter Seals client she was two years old who also served as the organization’s child representative for two years.

Even though she’s no longer the child representative she still gets invited to events all over the state according to her father, Jesse, who said that through Easter Seals his daughter has seen a positive outcome from what could have been regarded as a tragic situation.

Easter Seals has had a strong presence in the Lakes Region ever since 1990 when it established its first-ever community-based program that didn’t operate out of its Manchester headquarters.

President and CEO Larry Gammon said that was the start of two decades of growth around the state with more community based programs which now see the nonprofit organization with offices from Portsmouth to Keene and Salem to Lancaster.

He also praised Lynch for attending, noting that he had attended many Easter Seal events, like a fundraiser at Friendly’s where he scooped ice cream for Paxton.

“We live in a great state where we know our leaders and they are approachable,’’ said Gammon.

Karen Van Der Bekan, chief development officer for Easter Seals, says that one of the most successful fundraisers held by the organization is the annual HK Powersports Land and Lake Poker Run. The event,

She says that the poker run is dedicated to two men, now deceased, who teamed up as sponsor and host of the inaugural Poker Run, Mike Whalley of HK Powersports and Peter Makris of the Naswa.

“They wanted to do something fun for Easter Seals and it’s been a very nice partnership for us,’’ said Van Der Bekan. see next page

Sanbornton selectmen engage in wide-ranging ‘county conversation’ with commissioners

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — Selectmen had both praise and questions for the Belknap County Commissioners who made one of the last stops on their annual municipal tour here last night.

Sanbornton’s portion of the total county bill is about four percent of the $13.213- million total. Thanks to a generous contribution from the unreserved fund balance (rainy day fund) this year, projections are that town taxpayers will pay $567,680 in county taxes, down from $578,218 in 2010.

Selectman’s Chair David Nickerson began the discussion by telling the commissioners he was a “kind of disappointed” the three-member commission didn’t support an earlier move by eight of 18 members of the Belknap County Delegation to reduce the annual budget.

Having said that, Nickerson went on to say that he was generally pleased with many of the consolidation efforts made and suggested by previous county commissions and he believes most of them will help lower town tax burdens.

Nickerson, echoed by Selectman Karen Ober, said he was particularly happy with the recent addition of a juvenile prosecutor within the Office of the County Attorney. Both also had good things to say about the Belknap County Youth Services Program.

Commission Chair Ed Philpot said the hiring of a juvenile prosecutor was very recent and County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen would be meeting with area police chiefs soon with more information.

He said some towns already avail themselves of the legal services for juveniles through the county Sheriff’s Department and that it was really up to local governing bodies to direct their police chiefs to use the new juvenile prosecutor.

“I don’t think every community should have a police officer tied up in court all day long,” Philpot said.

Ober asked a number of questions about the expansion of the administrative arm of the county and Philpot told her the projected expenditure for the renovation of the administrative wing would be about $700,000, or about one-third of the $1.7-million stimulus money allocated.

Other things the county is fixing with stimulus money are roofing on the old portion of the historic Belknap County Court House and the heating and ventilation system at the Belknap County Jail.

“We’ve been told the heating ducts have never been cleaned,” Philpot said, noting people have to both live from preceding page Dick Rawlings of Bedford, chairman of the Easter Seals board of directors, said of his fellow director Cynthia Makris, president of the Naswa Resort, that “there’s not a person who does more than she does to help Easter Seals of NH. And she’s keeping her father’s memory alive through her efforts.’’

Makris said that it was a bit of serendipity that one year after the Naswa

and work there.

“The UNH Cooperative Extension is very near and dear to my heart and I hope the county will continue to support the program,” Ober said, referring to the administrative expansion and the county’s request that the UNH Cooperative Extension find different quarters.

Ober, who along with her husband Steve operate a family farm, said the education and information provided by the Cooperative Extension is “fact based” and that “it would be a crying shame to see them leave.”

Philpot replied by saying the Cooperative Extension had found a new location in downtown Laconia and the county included extra money in their 2011 budget to assist the agency with its relocation.

While the renovation of the Sheriff’s Department’s dispatch center is ongoing, Police Chief Steve Hankard said he would like to see the county do something about improving police radio communications in parts of Sanbornton.

According to Commissioner John Thomas, this was not the first time police radio communication problems had been mentioned to them and Sanbornton, along with parts of New Hampton, Alton and Barnstead also have “dead spots” regarding police radios but not fire radios.

“My issue is the safety of my people,” Hankard said.

Thomas said he would like Hankard to isolate, identify and bring the dead spots to Sheriff Wiggin’s attention. He said Wiggin has been working with other police departments and the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid team to solve the problem.

Selectmen also said they would like to see the county investigate the possible consolidation of purchasing — especially things like paper products. Also mentioned was some kind of consolidation of trash and recycling efforts.

Philpot said it was an excellent idea but, as it stands now, the county doesn’t have a warehouse for storage or a facility large enough for consolidated trash collection. He mentioned one of the ongoing discussions about the future of the former Laconia State School property could be the potential to use some of the newer buildings, one of which is a relatively new warehouse.

Nickerson went of to say he has relatives in North Carolina and recent visits have shown him the benefits of county government.

“Nothing makes me madder than to see a Sanbornton road grader go down see next page was honored on its 75th anniversary with a gubernatorial proclamation that Easter Seals would be celebrating its 75th anniversary at the resort, “The governor’s office gave me a choice of either June 28 or June 29 for the Naswa day proclamation and I chose the 29th. I didn’t know it was the same date as the start of what became Easter Seals NH,’’ she said.

The Naswa observed its second annual Naswa Day on Wednesday.

APPRAISAL from page one Senate Finance Committee suggested the city was “cherry picking” by leaving the remainder of the site, with its dilapidated buildings and environmental risks, city officials reconsidered.

The report explains that to acquire the property the city could make a cash payment, surrender its leases on two adjacent state-owned parcels and assume responsibility for assessing and addressing environmental risks at the site, contingent on federal funding.. In addition, the report refers to the city’s interest in acquiring title to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex, 10.2-acres adjacent to the main parcel currently leased from the state on a long-term basis.

The state intends to retain ownership of the Dwinell Building, which houses the Enhanced-911 service and the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid Association, and the Dube Building, due to be vacated by the Lakes Region Community Services. Both buildings stand at the easterly edge of the main parcel south of Right Way Path near Ahern Park Road. The state plans to subdivide the land around the two buildings.

The report includes an appraisal of about two-thirds of the main parcel commissioned by the City Council in anticipation of expressing an interest in the property. Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research appraised the 77 acres north of Right Way Path, which bisects the main parcel, and Risley Field. He did not appraise the remaining 75 acres where most of the 26 buildings on the property stand.

Thibeault placed the value of the 77 acres at $676,200 and the value of Risley Field at $396,000, for a total of $1,063,200. The report notes that if an equivalent land value of $6,100 per acre were applied to the remaining 75 acres, discarding the value of the buildings, the total value of the main parcel would approach $1.5-million, slightly less than the $1.7-million assessed land value carried by the city.

In appraising the property, Thibeault stressed that its highest and best use is for residential development, but there is no immediate market for new housing.

Lahey’s commission found that the condition of the land and buildings would discount the value of the 75 acres of from preceding page my road and stop at the Meredith line only to see the Meredith grader come down and turn around at the same line,” he said.

Philpot replied that same logic could even be applied to the “sacred” fire trucks.

“How many ladders trucks does one county need? “ he asked.

the main parcel. With funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), secured through the Lakes Region Planning Commission, Credere Associates , LLC undertook a preliminary environmental assessment of the property, which found that there are likely hazardous materials in the buildings and grounds. Moreover, several reports on the buildings prepared for the New Hampshire Department of Corrections suggests that most are in need of repair and some beyond repair.

Meanwhile, in authorizing the sale of the property, House Bill 2, the companion to the budget, effectively set a reserve price of $10-million, which is booked as revenue in the 2012-2013 state budget.

The state capital budget includes $300,000 for a more thorough environmental assessment of the site and another $300,000 for roof repairs to several buildings. However, Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has expressed a reluctance to invest in the property, preferring to transfer responsibility for environmental remediation and building renova-

tions to the city with the property.

As the owner of the property, the state is not qualified to receive funds from the EPA to assess and correct environmental conditions on the site. The city, on the other hand, is eligible for funding from the EPA. In addressing the Senate Finance Committee and speaking with Morse, Lahey has indicated that the city would seek to secure funding from the EPA and, if successful, accept responsibility for the environmental assessment and remediation of the property, as part of the agreement to acquire it. The commission notes that “relieving the state of these costs is the equivalent of paying the state money.”

The city has also proposed relinquishing its leases on the two adjacent undeveloped parcels owned by the state, one of 7.5-acres at the corner of Meredith Center Road and Lane Road and another of 10.4acres between North Main Street and Old North Main Street. Thibeault appraised the larger parcel at $238,000 and the smaller parcel at $108,000.

Finally, the commission acknowledges that “an addisee next page

Would you like to improve your hearing?

Come and enjoy a friendly, comfortable office. Doctor of Audiology, Laura O. Robertson, Au.D., has been helping people of the Lakes Region hear better since 1992. Let us help you revive your hearing and reconnect to those around you. Hear the sounds of voices, birds and the wind in the trees again.

MEREDITH — The new owner of the building at 15 Northview Drive that once housed the now infamous Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. and CL & M, Inc., the firms that operated the biggest Ponzi scheme in state history, plans to convert it into a multi-family apartment building.

Kevin Morrissette, the Laconia homebuilder doing business as Dasltk LLC, acquired the property for $260,000 last November after it was foreclosed by an affiliate of Lehman Brothers. Attorney Regina Nadeau, representing Morrissette, said that with the market glutted with commercial real estate, for sale or lease, he chose to put it to residential use.

Constructed in 1988, the two-story building sits on a 1.53-acre lot in the commercial Route 3 south district and encompasses 10,440 square feet of usable space — 3756 square feet on the first floor, 3,448 on the second floor and 3,005 in the partially finished basement. Morrissette plans to reconfigure the space into seven apartments, some with two bedrooms and some with three bedrooms.

The project will require both a special exception

and a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Although residential uses are permitted in the commercial district, the change of use will require a special exception. Since the seven units proposed exceed the density limits in the district, Morrissette also needs a variance.

from preceding page tional cash payment could be required depending on fair market appraisals.”

“While the state and the city are currently far apart as to the value of the property,” the report concludes, “it is the commission’s hope that the two

can reach an agreement for acquisition. Laconia has demonstrated a real interest and need for the property and has devised a plan that would provide revenue to the State and avoid what are likely to be significant environmental clean-up costs.”

CALIF. from page 2 The last of those tax increases will expire Thursday.

With this year’s budget debate behind them, Brown’s fellow Democrats are deciding what type of tax increases might prove more palatable to an electorate that is generally reluctant to tax itself.

Among the ideas are an additional tax on the wealthiest Californians and a tax on companies that pump oil within the state. Proponents are gearing their ballot campaigns toward the November 2012 presidential election, when turnout is expected to be higher and more Democratic-leaning than it would have been this year or during the June primary next year.

“We enacted a plan that preserves our opportunity for economic recovery, and look forward to giving Californians the chance to vote on making that recovery even stronger,” said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento.

Brown’s office had not released details about when he will sign the budget package.

The budget for the fiscal year that begins Friday

relies on further spending cuts to close a remaining $9.6 billion deficit, an amount that had been reduced from a $26.6 billion deficit at the beginning of the year.

It also imposes new fees on vehicle registration and rural property owners for fire protection, levies that are almost certain to be challenged in court because they did not get the two-thirds vote required for tax increases. Democrats also assume the state will take in some $10 billion more in tax revenue than originally projected, largely because the rich are doing so well.

The budget package also shifts responsibility for low-level offenders from the state to counties, and includes deeper spending cuts to schools, higher education and social services if the revenue assumptions fail to materialize. School districts, for example, would be allowed to reduce their school years by seven days.

The changes come on top of billions of dollars in cuts to welfare, in-home support services and MediCal programs passed in March.

Lynch signs law protecting news reports on annulled records CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch has signed a law adding protections for journalists from civil and criminal penalties if they report on criminal records that have been annulled.

The new law, which took effect Tuesday, also protects journalists who report about a record they’re unaware has been annulled.

Under the new law, news organizations and others have no obligation to remove reports about someone’s record from public access or to make corrections to the reports if the person’s record is later annulled.

The Portsmouth Herald, The Associated Press and other media organizations supported the law changes. Curtis Barry, who represented the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters, said it is virtually impossible to remove information once it is on the Internet.

“You can’t un-ring a bell. It is a fact. It has happened,” Barry said Wednesday.

The bill was the product of a study committee cre-

ated at the request of several media organizations who zeroed in on the annulment law after the 2009 Rockingham County sheriff’s race. Sheriff candidate David Lovejoy filed a complaint against incumbent Dan Linehan and deputy sheriff Mark Peirce, accusing them of leaking Lovejoy’s annulled simple assault conviction to the Portsmouth Herald in October 2008. The conviction stemmed from a 1989 encounter.

The state Supreme Court ruled in February that even expunged criminal records are fair game during a campaign for public office and rejected Lovejoy’s invasion of privacy complaint.

Barry said media organizations wanted the law to clearly exempt them from liability for reporting factual information.

“You can’t punish someone for, in essence, telling the truth,” he said.

Barry noted that the annulment law carries more benefits than simply erasing a record, such as restore privileges denied to convicted criminals.

LIBYA from page 2 ing there to allow access for a humanitarian aid shipment, French military spokesman Col. Thierry Burkhard said.

After informing the United Nations, France dropped humanitarian aid including water, food and medical supplies to besieged civilians in the region, but the situation then deteriorated further, he said.

“So, France also dropped equipment that allowed them to defend themselves — self-defense assets — which is to say weapons and munitions,” Burkhard told The Associated Press.

The weapons were parachuted in by a military transport plane, he said. The impact of the airlifted weapons wasn’t immediately clear. But in recent days — since the delivery — rebels in the mountains claimed to have advanced to the town of Bir al-Ghanam, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Tripoli.

In Libya’s capital Wednesday, Gadhafi’s prime minister, Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, played down the reports of rebel mountain advances, saying “the situation in the western mountains is good, and it’s under control.”

In New York, France’s U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud told reporters that France had acted under a provision of the Security Council resolution adopted March 17 that imposed a no-fly zone over Libya and authorized military action short of a “foreign occupation force” to protect civilians.

Araud said France believes a provision saying that member states can take “all necessary measures, notwithstanding” an arms embargo, to protect civilians threatened by attack “means for us that in exceptional circumstances” the arms embargo can be ignored to protect civilians.

CIRCUS from page one , when the ticket office opens Friday morning, the price will be higher. Tickets are on sale at the American Legion Post on North Main Street as well as at the Laconia Antique Center, All My Life Jewelers, AutoServ and The Citizen. All proceeds will support the American Legion scholarship fund, which provides more than $20,000 to college bound students from the Lakes Region.

Based in Hugo, Oklahoma, the Kelly-Miller Circus began touring the country in 1938. Today the circus is directed by John Rngling North II, whose great uncles were the celebrated Ringling Brothers of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, still known as “the Greatest Show on Earth.”

The big top, 120 feet by 130 feet and 40 feet high

supported by several miles of rope, cables and chains, seats 1,500 people. Along with jugglers, fire eaters, rope spinners, dancers, aerial artists and clowns, the show features Casey McCoy’s Tigers, the Silk Road Camels, a dog and pony review and the performing elephants. A salute to the United States of America, echoing the spirit of the wild west, which is the theme of this year’s edition of the circus, will crown each performance.

On street parking in the neighborhood of Memorial Field will be restricted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but parking will be available in the lots at the softball field and park house as well as at the sledding hill on South Street. Handicapped parking will be available at the baseball field at Memorial Park.

Red Sox bats quiet again in 2-1 loss to Phillies PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Vance Worley didn’t get Dustin Pedroia’s autograph. He got the former MVP’s attention — and the rest of the Boston Red Sox, too. Worley pitched seven strong innings, Raul Ibanez hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Red Sox 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Worley (3-1) allowed one run, five hits and struck out five. The rookie right-hander has filled in nicely for injured starters Roy Oswalt and Joe Blanton.

He sent someone to get Pedroia’s signature on a ball before the game, but came up empty.

“He wouldn’t give me one until I met him,” Worley said. “Then I threw one up and in on him so I probably won’t get it now.”

Worley dusted Pedroia with a high-and-tight fastball inside in the first inning and left an impression with his solid performance.

“He had great mound presence, and we were all very impressed,” Pedroia said. “It’s really good for a kid that young to have a presence like that on the mound. He’s going to be a good one.”

In a series billed as a World Series preview, the major league-leading Phillies (51-30) have taken two straight and go for a sweep Thursday.

Michael Stutes pitched a perfect eighth and Antonio Bastardo finished for his third save and first filling in for Ryan Madson. The Phillies are down to their fourth closer with Madson, Jose Contreras and Brad Lidge on the disabled list.

But their young relievers are doing well.

Ibanez was 3 for 3 with two RBIs, falling a triple short of the cycle. He came in 5 for 44.

John Lackey (5-7) gave up two runs and eight hits in 7 2-3 innings in one of his best starts this season.

He lowered his ERA from 7.36 to 6.81.

The Red Sox have lost six of seven since going 14-2.

Desperate to wake up a slumping offense, Boston manager Terry Francona gave Adrian Gonzalez his second career start in right field so David Ortiz could play first base. Ortiz hadn’t started the previous four games because there is no designated hitter in NL parks. It didn’t work. Big Papi was 0 for 4.

PENSION from page 2 Lynch had called for changes to the pension system, but on newly hired workers. Some changes — including higher contribution rates paid by employees — became law with the budget apply to existing workers.

The public pension system covers more than 50,000 active and nearly 26,000 retired state and municipal workers, teachers, police and firefighters.

“I think we are all aware that making changes for existing employees raises legal issues, which is why the governor had proposed retirement reforms that apply only to new employees,” said Pamela Walsh, Lynch’s deputy chief of staff. Regardless, she said the state will defend the new law.

Senate President Peter Bragdon said he’s confident the state will prevail against the challenge.

“We based (pension changes) on sound assumptions and on sound legal advice,” he said.

Starting July 1, teachers, state and municipal workers would pay 7 percent instead of 5 percent.

Firefighters’ contribution would rise from 9.3 percent to 11.8 percent. Police would pay 11.55 percent, up from 9.3 percent. The coalition is asking the court to block implementation of the rate increase and employer rates set by lawmakers until the issues are decided by the court.

Coalition spokesmen said the Legislature is trying to shift employer costs onto employees in violation of the constitution. They said rates can’t be raised to give employers a break. They said employees must receive a benefit for their higher contribution.

They also pointed to previous actions by the Legislature to reduce employer rates that helped create the system’s $3.7 billion unfunded liability.

“Each payday, employees paid the full amount. They did this in good times and in bad times,” said Rick Trombly, spokesman for NEA-New Hampshire, the teachers union. “Never did the employees approach the Legislature to reduce their contribution.”

Jeff Stiegler, of Laconia, president of the New Hampshire Police Officers Association, said police officers can’t pick and choose times to fulfill their duty. They should be able to count on government to keep its promise to provide promised benefits.

“This is not pension reform. It is pension punishment,” added David Lang, president of the Firefighters Association of New Hampshire.

But Bragdon said employees share the blame for the size of the system’s unfunded liability. The employees took hundreds of millions of dollars out of the fund to subsidize health benefits, he said.

Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley, a prime sponsor of the changes, said that if the state loses, employers’ pension costs will be so high communities won’t be able to afford workers.

OBITUARIES

Ser ving Central and Southern New Hampshire

Sara Jean H. ‘Sally’ Biewener, 82 LACONIA — Sara (Sally) Jean H. Biewener of Ledgeview Drive, Laconia, formerly of South Sutton, died on Friday, June 24 at Lakes Region General Hospital. She was born August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, PA, daughter of Dr. Austin Hutchinson and Sara G. Meadows. Sally was a 1950 graduate of Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University), where she met her husband, John Biewener, also of Pittsburgh.

The Bieweners lived in Ohio and New Jersey until 1976 when they moved to New London, NH to become innkeepers of the New London Inn for two years, long enough to know they weren’t meant to be innkeepers and long enough to fall in love with New Hampshire.

Sally and John bought a home in South Sutton.

Sally managed a dental office in New London. They became active members of the United Church of Warner. More recently, they had joined the Congregational Church of Laconia. Sally and John are members of the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Mountain Goats Hiking Group. They traveled extensively both nationally and internationally.

Sally’s main interests were family, friends, hiking, cross-country skiing, sewing, gardening, reading, and cooking.

Sally leaves behind John, her husband of 61 years; four children, Andrew Biewener, Catherine Browne, Carole Biewener and Judith Biewener; her son-in-law Tim Sturgeon; and seven grandchildren, Matthew and Eric Biewener, Emily, Kelsey and Piper Browne, Ella Hartenian, and Maxine Sturgeon.

The many people who knew and loved Sally will always treasure her deep devotion to her family and friends, her curiosity and courage, her grace and energetic, optimistic spirit, and her exceptionally sunny disposition, even in the down times.

Services in Sally’s memory will be held on Sunday, July 3 at the United Church of Warner, 43 E. Main Street, Warner, NH at 2:00 pm. A reception will follow. There will also be visitation hours with the family at Chadwick Funeral Service, 235 Main Street, New London, NH on Saturday, July 2, 6-8 pm. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia, NH.

In 1965 she formed Custom Graphics, a design and printing house. She later sold the business. After retiring, she pursued her love of jewelry design.

She studied Indian jewelry in Arizona and opened a jewelry store (Dee’s Designs) in Buffalo, N.Y. Over the years, she belonged to many trade organizations related to jewelry and printing Survivors include a niece, Lilyan R.Wood, and four nephews, George Beyea, Winfield Beyea, Robert

Beyea and George Happel. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by three brothers, George W. Beyea, Frederick J. Beyea and Robert N. Beyea, by a sister, Ida E. Happel, and by two nephews, Frederick Beyea and John Happel.

She was a devoted and loving Godmother to her niece, Lilyan R. Wood, and her grand nephew, William E. Wood.

Annual Jewish Food Festival is July 10 LACONIA — Temple B’nai Israel will host its annual Jewish Food Festival from 11 a.m. — 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 10.

Traditionally, the temple cooks, led

by Irene Gordon, toy with tradition only by adding ever more succulent foods and by annually increasing the amount of food prepared. According to Gordon, “The more blintzes, kugels, strudels, Israeli salads, chopped liver, brisket, knishes, stuffed cabbage, cheese cakes we prepare, the more food is consumed. Every year, I request another freezer to accommodate our output.”

Several years ago, in deference to most stomachs’ limited capacities, a take-out food service was added. That means attendees can take home more matzo ball soup, kugels, knishes, stuffed cabbage, and cheese blintzes further

fressing (eating or overeating).

This year’s innovation is the addition of the sale of one-half pound packages of brisket, corned beef, and tongue, all loved items that are not available anywhere else in the Lakes Region. Call 267-1935 to place orders. They will be ready for pick up on the Festival day.

After eating their fill, attendees can check out the Nearly New Boutique where there is always something to take home; won’t want to miss the bakery filled with traditional and memorable cakes and pastries, and follow that with a stop at Jared Aronson’s Madhouse Tee Shirts booth for an amusing non-edible souvenier of the day. The event will also feature raffle prizes donated by area eateries and businesses. Raffle tickets are $1 for single ticket or $5 for six tickets.

MEREDITH — The American Legion will add to the Town’s Independence Day festivities by manning the pit and serving up chicken barbecue from 11 a.m. — 9:30 p.m. on Monday, July 4.

The highlight of the menu is the Legion’s famous chicken platter — a barbecued half-chicken served with potato salad, cole slaw, a roll, and soda

or water. The chicken will once again be basted with Barry’s famous sauce and will be served as long as they last.

The menu will also include hot dogs, hamburgers, and the Legion’s famous french fries all day long.

Pricing is the same as it has been for the last 10 years. All are welcome to enjoy the Fourth and leave the cooking to the Legion.

Traditional Meredith 4th of July Chicken barbecue will start at 11 a.m.

Deadline for entering local pageants is July 2 WEIRS BEACH — The deadline to enter the 87th annual Miss Winnipesaukee & Miss Weirs Beach pageant is 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 2.

The local chapter of the Miss America Organization will host the scholarship program Gunstock Ski Area at 7.p.m. on Sunday, July 10.

The Miss Winnipesaukee & Miss Weirs Beach pageant is a preliminary to the annual Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Program. In turn, Miss New Hampshire is the official state preliminary to the Miss America Program.

The Miss Winnipesaukee Pageant is the oldest continuously running local pageant in the Miss America Organiza-

tion, having run every year since 1925.

The Scholarship program is open to full-time employees, full-time students, or residents of the following New Hampshire counties: Belknap, Carroll, Grafton, Merrimack, Hillsborough, and Strafford. Eligibility requirements for the scholarship program and applications may be found on the Miss New Hampshire website www.missnh.org.

The program will also award scholarships to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner-up positions. Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee & Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs can be obtained by phoning 387-0271.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even the most dependable and balanced parts of your life are not entirely under your control -- something to admit, accept and possibly even enjoy now that the surprises are likely to please you greatly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll do quite a lot with your day, but is it enough? That’s the question that will stick with you even after you’ve closed your eyes to go to sleep, and your ambitions will fill your dreams.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will master the art of being easygoing. You can be high maintenance when you think it’s appropriate. But for now, you’re content to master the art of being AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Relax. Recharging your brain is as important as any of the other activities you do to maintain your health and well-being. It’s as vital as brushing your teeth, eating nutritious food or taking a shower.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The one who puts you on the defensive has something to teach you, as well. It’s not so easy to find the lesson when you’re in the middle of the fight, but later you can look back and see it very clearly.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 30).

You’ll happily do more of what you’re best at this year. You’ll harmoniously co-exist with loved ones for the vast majority of the time. You’ll enjoy independent work in July and be a valuable part of a group effort in August. October brings a financial opportunity, and you’ll be able to help family with your new resources, too. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 24, 35 and 17.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are many different ways to handle a tricky situation, though your prior conditioning may bring only one to mind.

So go deeper. Ask “what else?” and let the brainstorming begin.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Telling someone who is frustrated to calm down is like telling a scared person to be brave -- a fine suggestion that’s likely to be met with big-time resistance. Let people move through their feelings while you move through yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The smallest situation to the biggest, now is the time to make a plan for how you want to resolve each one and write those plans down. Tomorrow’s moon will bring luck to all who do the preliminary work.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone will ask you a question that, in some subtle way, encourages you to commit to a position. Consider that it may not benefit you to take a position or even answer at all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you may turn to the world of celebrity as a fun escape, be careful not to wish to have the lives of others. Your own world is more enjoyable in so many ways and is definitely better for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just as a loving parent will seek outside expertise to develop a child’s abilities or help a child get healthier, you may need some outside help to solve a current problem. Be your own loving parent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you accept information that supports your point of view and reject information that doesn’t, you are doing what is only natural and human. That doesn’t make it right, though. Try to have an open mind.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, June 30, the 181st day of 2011. There are 184 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 30, 1936, the epic Civil War novel “Gone with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell was first published by The Macmillan Co. in New York.

On this date: In 1859, French acrobat Charles Blondin (blahn-DAN’) walked back and forth on a tightrope above the gorge of Niagara Falls as thousands of spectators watched.

In 1860, the famous Oxford University Museum debate on Darwin’s theory of evolution took place as Anglican Bishop Samuel Wilberforce led his side in denouncing the concept, while biologist T.H. Huxley rose to defend it.

In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blown-down trees.

In 1921, President Warren G. Harding nominated former President William Howard Taft to be chief justice of the United States, succeeding the late Edward Douglass White.

In 1934, Adolf Hitler carried out his “blood purge” of political and military rivals in Germany in what came to be known as “The Night of the Long Knives.”

In 1958, the U.S. Senate passed the Alaska statehood bill by a vote of 64-20.

In 1963, Pope Paul VI was crowned the 262nd head of the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1971, the Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, that the government could not prevent The New York Times or the Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers.

In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days.

One year ago: President Barack Obama talked about the economy at a town hall in Racine, Wis., saying, “We got it moving again,” and that he intended to get “our debt and our deficits under control,” but warned he wouldn’t slash spending at the expense of the economic rebound. Benigno Aquino III was sworn in as the Philippines’ 15th president.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, June 30, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My daughter, “Chloe,” receives child support for her son, “Logan,” who is 3. Chloe does not live with her son because she is not capable of taking care of him. She is an alcoholic who lives with her abusive boyfriend. My husband and I have raised Logan since birth. He lives with us.

Since Chloe has legal custody, however, she receives the child support payments. Unfortunately, she spends most of the money on herself and her boyfriend. Every time I ask her for money to cover day care costs, food and other expenses for Logan, we get into a big fight. She does buy her son a few clothes and toys from time to time. But she recently received $926 in back support, and it is already gone. Less than half was spent on Logan.

What can I do? I would like Logan’s father to get custody.

He already has him four days a week and wants to be with him. Chloe usually sees her son once a week. Should I tell Logan’s father what is going on? I think he would still let us take care of Logan a few days a week. I love my grandchild and want to be a part of his life. -- Nebraska Dear Nebraska: Chloe should not be receiving child support payments if she is not actually raising her child or using the money for its intended purpose. You should do whatever is in Logan’s best interests. If his father wants to raise him and can provide a stable, loving home, it makes sense for him to ask for custody. You also may be in a position to be given custody of your grandchild since you have been his informal guardian since birth. If you want to do that, please talk to a lawyer.

Dear Annie: I’m an alcoholic. I’ve been to rehab three times and now go to AA every day. I also attend an intensive outpatient program every week. It’s finally had an impact. I have

NO desire at all for a glass of wine.

I am an attractive professional and had a very high-paying job for 25 years. Alcohol played a major role in my losing my job. It also caused serious issues with my family. I got three DUIs and pretty much took a perfectly good life and allowed alcohol to screw it up. Alcohol does that.

After being “dry” for three weeks, I finished up some landscaping work with a friend and said, “Boy, a beer would be great right now.” So I ordered a non-alcoholic beer at the local bar. Since then, I’ve had a few more. I feel great, I don’t wake up jittery, and I have a lot more energy and drive.

Here’s my question. Is non-alcoholic beer OK for an alcoholic? I’m aware that there is .05 percent alcohol in a beer, but it satisfies the urge without the problems associated with normal alcoholic beverages. -- Wondering About the Brew in Massachusetts Dear Wondering: We commend you for trying to stay sober, but any alcohol, even a small amount, could be a problem for you. Studies have shown that the smell of non-alcoholic beer can trigger the same increase in the brain chemical dopamine as regular beer, causing some recovering alcoholics to eventually relapse. Please discuss this with your AA sponsor.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Crying in California,” the woman who did not receive a condolence card from her doctor after the loss of her daughter. She has my sympathy.

At least she did not experience the horror of receiving a call from the doctor reminding her of her dead daughter’s next appointment. That’s what happened to our mother shortly after Dad passed away. Please tell “Crying” to wipe her tears and change doctors. -- K in Kentucky
