Parks & Recreation taking over responsibility for city’s 4th of July celebration
No time to enjoy the view
By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After the Kiwanis Club decided against staging the city’s traditional Fourth of July celebration, the Parks and Recreation Department has stepped into the breach to host the marking of Independence Day at Opechee Park. Amy Lovisek said yesterday that the department has assembled a group, which will form itself into a non-profit corporation to stage and manage the event. Earlier the City Council approved an appropriation of $10,000 to fund the annual fireworks display, which will be set off from a barge floating in the lake in order to comply with minimum setbacks from public buildings and private homes. Lovisek said that the display will feature four-inch shells, larger charges than were fired from atop the downtown parking garage the last couple of years. Lovisek said that the celebration will open with a parade to Opechee Park beginning at 3:30 p.m., see FOURTH page 8

LACONIA — The Laconia Education Association and the School Board have reached a two-year collective bargaining agreement that uses the savings from a reduction in health insurance costs and to offset a new stipend employees can put toward a health savings account. The agreement stipulates no cost-of-living salary adjustments or so-called step increases for the next two years. When the deal expires on June 30, 2013 it will mark the end of three consecutive years that teachers have gone without either steps or an increase to the value of those steps. “Our union is behind this product. We are on board,” said LEA President Deb Tivey who said her union membership “overwhelmingly” approved the new contract on May 31. The School Board officially approved the deal last night. “We will bring it to the City Council (on June 13) and hope we get their blessing,” said see TeaCHeRs page 8

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fellow Democrats pointedly refused to defend Rep. Anthony Weiner on Tuesday, telegraphing an unmistakable eagerness for him to resign after he admitted sending a lewd photo of himself to a woman via Twitter and lying about it. Republicans swiftly sought political profit from the New York Democrat’s predicament, which threatened to deepen when conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart said he had a sexually explicit photo of the 46-year-old congressman. His political career in extreme jeopardy, Weiner had no public appearances. His spokesman did not respond to repeated requests for comment. On Monday, after days of denials, the New York lawmaker admitted he had engaged in “several inappropriate conversations conducted over Twitter, Facebook, email and occasionally on the phone with women I see next page

Thousands ordered out of Arizona town as fire nears SPRINGERVILLE, Ariz. (AP) — Flames from a mammoth forest fire licked the ridges surrounding the eastern Arizona town of Eagar on Tuesday afternoon, forcing the evacuation of about half the 4,000 residents as surrounding towns also prepared to empty. People started streaming out of Eagar as sheriff’s deputies and police officers directed traffic. Flames were spotted on a ridge on the southeastern side of nearby Springerville and columns of orange smoke rose from the hills. Ash rained from the sky, which was filled with thick smoke,
and when the sun peeked through, it was blood-red. Angie Colwell, her husband Mike and their two children were loading up their belonging as authorities ordered their Eagar neighborhood to evacuate. “We love the mountains and we’re just afraid of what’s going to be left after the fire comes through,” the longtime resident said. The blaze has burned 486 square miles of ponderosa pine forest, driven by wind gusts of more than 60 mph since it was sparked on May 29 by what authorities believe was an unattended campfire. It
officially became the second-largest in Arizona history on Tuesday. No serious injuries have been reported, but the fire has destroyed five buildings so far. It has cast smoke as far east as Iowa and forced some planes to divert from Albuquerque, N.M., some 200 miles away. The Apache County Sheriff’s Office issued the evacuation order for areas south of Highway 260 and east of Greer just before 4 p.m. The highway will be closed after the evacuation is complete. Eagar has about 4,000 residents, while see ARIZONA page 7
WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy has weakened in recent weeks, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke noted Tuesday. But he stuck with a message he’s delivered since April: The slowdown from high gas prices and Japan’s crises is temporary, and growth should pick up later this year. Bernanke made no mention of any new steps the Fed might take to boost the economy. The Fed’s $600 billion Treasury bondbuying program is ending this month. The program was intended to keep interest rates
low to strengthen the economy. But critics said it raised the risk of high inflation. The Fed chairman said the economy still needs the benefit of low interest rates. The Fed is scheduled to meet in two weeks and is all but certain to keep those rates at record lows. Stocks fell after Bernanke began speaking. The Dow Jones industrial average erased gains made earlier in the day and closed down for the fifth straight day, as did broader indexes.
“The market was disappointed,” said David Jones, head of DMJ Economic Advisors, a private consulting firm. “Wall Street investors were hoping for the promise of another round of credit easing, and they didn’t get it.” Bernanke noted the May jobs report released last week was a setback. It showed the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.1 percent and the economy added just 54,000 jobs, the fewest in eight months. see ECONOMY page 13

Summer college league baseball player dies in Rochester at first practice
ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A Seacoast Mavericks player has died after the team’s first summer practice in Rochester, N.H. Adam Keenan, a sophomore at UMass-Lowell, died of cardiac arrest Monday night. The Lowell, Mass., native was one of two dozen players working out in the team’s first practice at Spaudling High School before its season opener in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League on Thursday night. Mavericks owner Dave Hoyt said in a statement released to the Portsmouth Herald: “We are shocked and terribly saddened by this tragic event. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Keenan family, Adam’s friends and teammates in this very difficult time.”
$1-million in jewelry said stolen from Portsmouth store
PORTSMOUTH (AP) — Police say thieves have swiped $1 million in jewelry from a Portsmouth, N.H., store. Portsmouth Police Capt. Corey MacDonald says the burglary was discovered Tuesday morning by a Bellman Jewelers store employee. Authorities say the jewelry was stolen from different locations in the Congress Street store. MacDonald told the Portsmouth Herald that surveillance cameras inside the store and elsewhere are expected to provide evidence.
Man charged with Pittsburg shootings claims he was trying to stop drug deal
PITTSBURG, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire man charged with killing a man and wounding two others in Pittsburg told police he committed the shootings to stop a felony drug deal. Fifty-year-old Kenneth Arseneault of Pittsburg also told police after the Nov. 2 shooting he had warned one of the victims not to come to his house. On April 28, Arseneault was indicted on charges of first-degree and second-degree murder for the killing of 21-year-old Justin Flanders who was shot and then left in a burning pickup truck. He’s charged with assault for wounding two others. The Caledonian Record says the recently unsealed court documents say one of the victims who survived, 31-year-oldTanya Rancloes, went to Arseneault’s house to buy drugs from another person living in the house. No trial date has been set. from preceding page had met online.” Alternately apologetic and defiant, he said he neither met nor had physical relationships with any of them, and added, “I am not resigning.” In fact, there is little that party leaders can do to force an errant lawmaker to quit, although House Republicans have moved decisively in the past year to purge their ranks of two men who wound up in embarrassing situations. Most Democrats maintained an uncomfortable silence about Weiner’s future, part of what several senior congressional officials described as a hope that over a few days, Weiner would reconsider his refusal to resign. If not, several noted pointedly, his district might be eliminated when lines are adjusted before the 2012 elections to account for a population shift that will cost New York two House seats. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid broke the silence. “I wish there were some way that I can defend him, but I can’t,” the Nevada Democrat told reporters.

Harley shop increasingly using social media to stay in touch with bikers MEREDITH — The next time you see leather-clad bikers on Harley-Davidsons, ask yourself whether those riders are packing… smart phones. There is a good chance they are, based upon new data that shows Laconia Harley-Davidson customers are embracing the Web, social media and mobile technology at a growing pace – which is resulting in a record year for the store in online traffic and sales. “Social media, online marketing and mobile technologies have revolutionized the way we interact with customers,” said Anne Deli, owner of Laconia Harley-Davidson and former chief marketing officer of Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “A recent survey of our customers and riders showed they are turning to the Web and social media to get more information about events including Laconia Bike Week. Engaging our customers via the Internet and social media has resulted in an amazing response.” LaconiaHarley.com’s online traffic has doubled since last year which is in part due to their efforts to engage riders across the United States and Canada through targeted e-mail and pay-per-click campaigns. When online, customers receive the most up to date information about events happening at the dealership. The brand is expanding on social media by engaging enthusiasts and customers on Facebook and Twitter, and has seen their number of Facebook fans double in the past year. Currently, Facebook fans can nominate Inspiring Women Riders for an awards program the dealership designed for National Women’s Riders month in May. Both nominees and those who nominated have a chance to win $100 Laconia Harley gift certificates and dinner for two at an area
restaurant. The dealership is also offering a chance for fans to win a pair of meet and greet passes to meet the band Jackyl, who is headlining the dealership’s concert series during Bike Week. As an added bonus all entrants can win a chainsaw autographed by the band, attracting multiple humorous posts. The dealership is also focused on reaching the growing population of smart phone users by launching text messaging campaigns promoting sales and events at the dealership. “Last month we launched a targeted SMS campaign, which was a first for Laconia Harley and also something we believe is new to the industry,” said Deli. “Initial results are encouraging and we intend on expanding our mobile campaigns leading up to and following Laconia Motorcycle Week.” Laconia Motorcycle Week kicks off the peak motorcycle sales and riding season in the northeast. This year’s rally will be the 88th. “We’ve doubled our digital marketing budget over the past year and are already experiencing a favorable return on our investment. Our year-round efforts have been intensified in preparation for Laconia Motorcycle Week, when hundreds of thousands of riders will travel to New Hampshire for America’s oldest rally,” continued Deli. According to a survey by Deloitte, four in 10 U.S. consumers interact with retailers through social networking sites. Data from the “2011 Spring Consumer Pulse Survey” also indicates out of this consumer subset, 63-percent interact to find out about promotions and 56-percent browse products on retailer social networking pages. see BIKERS page 8

We couldn’t build enough charter schools Former tennis star Andre Agassi deserves enormous credit for recognizing that nothing is more important than ensuring every child gets the kind of quality education that is their best chance for success in a rapidly changing world. I know, there are high school dropouts who make it to the top. But all the ones I know were blessed with gifts that enabled them to do what the other 99-percent of high school dropouts don’t. Agassi has sponsored a charter school in Las Vegas that, as he puts it, has 650 students and 1,500 on the wait list. That is true of many of the quality charter schools, particularly those located in areas where the rest of the schools are by any measure failing. Based on his experience with that one school, Agassi has teamed with bankers and investors to embark on a project aimed at building 75 schools over the next three or four years while making money for the investors, including Citigroup Inc. and Intel Corp. “It’s a novel business model,” one of the investors said. Indeed. Novel and, from my perspective as a taxpayer and a strong supporter of charter schools (contributions, board membership and the like for the past decade), deeply troubling. First of all, you aren’t going to fix education by building 75 for-profit charter schools over four years. If you’re serious about real education reform, the name of the game is transforming public schools, not allowing a few extra children the advantages of charter schools. I understand that every kid we help matters. But we can’t build enough charter schools to deal with the problems millions of kids are facing. The argument for charter schools has never been that they are the answer to the failings of public education. They were intended to serve as laboratories and models, figuring out what works and why, experimenting with new systems of decentralized control and school autonomy so that public schools could learn from the experience. That is why some of us who have been involved in charter work for years have formed a new organization (nonprofit, of course) called “Future Is Now Schools” (FIN Schools), led by nationally known reformer Steve Barr. The goal is to transform failing public schools in major cities by forming local partnerships. Second, efforts to build national networks of for-profit schools haven’t worked nearly as well as efforts to build fast-food chains. With all due respect to former tennis stars and investment bankers, running schools takes talented principals, dedicated teachers, inspiration, charisma, administrative experience, an understanding
of the special issues involved in educating children who face crime while trying to get to and from school and who live with parents (if two) who do not support them, and the ability to deal with the effects of poverty and violence on a daily basis. When Green Dot Public Schools, the nonprofit organization whose board I have served on for the past 10 years, took over the worst high school in Los Angeles, our biggest unanticipated budget overages the first year were the enormous costs of security and special education. Dedicated teachers and administrators worked 24/7 to address the huge problems we faced. Public education isn’t failing because it’s easy; it’s failing because it’s hard. And by the way, we’re not trying to make a dime. It has taken generous support from major foundations to allow us to just break even. So how are Agassi and his partners going to make money taking on such challenges? For one thing, they say they will avoid states that (like California) don’t provide enough money per pupil for them to make money. Thanks. Go where you’re needed least. But beyond that, as a taxpayer whose children are both in college or headed there, I am more than willing to pay what it takes in taxes and contribute what I can charitably to support quality public education. What I am not willing to do is see my tax dollars, or anyone else’s, going not to the classroom, not to efforts to reform public education for everyone, not to efforts to develop a “new unionism” that will allow teachers unions to be partners in reform, but instead to provide an excellent return to investors. To his great credit, former Los Angeles Mayor Dick Riordan, one of the investors, made clear that anything he personally earned in the venture would be plowed back into charity. By my research, he’s the only one who said that. I have long understood that there are many reasons why I am not rich. One of them, surely, is that for me, the only return that matters is measured by the achievement of the kids, by the smiles on graduation day when parents who graduated sixth grade, if that, watch their children walk on stage to receive a diploma that is the first step toward college and a new life for themselves and their families. That’s the return I want on my investment, and it’s worth more than money. (Susan Estrich is a professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California Law Center.

LETTERS We can’t let Obama abandon Israel while pushing for divided Holy City To the editor, I would like to offer a different take on insights alluded to by William R. Morley in the June 2nd letter to The Sun. First to your lauding of Mr. Buchanan’s scolding of Bibi Netanyahu who he felt should not have embarrassed President Obama in front of the nation. Fine, you may have that discussion if you like. However, you then bizarrely assert that “our current president” has showed wisdom and patience toward Israel. This would be the same president who, when referencing the Arab community, has repeatedly promised to stand with them during difficult times including the reference in his book, “The Audacity of Hope”. Rabbi Aryeh Spero and Rabbi Gershon Tannenbaum feel that what President Obama is asking for is ethnic cleansing. Senator James Inhofe feels our president is kowtowing to the very forces that hate us. Joseph Klein of NewsRealBlog. com believes that our president’s message to Israel is simply, “Go to Hell”. Do you Mr. Morley truly believe that Israel is privileged, arrogant and “coated with pristine position”? That it is they and not the Palestinians who need a reality check? I suggest you go read “Underdogma” by Michael Prell. It will help you and other liberal types to understand how your misplaced emphasis on so-called “underdogs” could aid in the destruction of our only real ally in the Middle East and further damage our country’s status as a superpower. I’m guessing that you think Jerusalem should be split between Israel and Palestine despite the fact this city has been Israel’s capital for thousands of years. Thus would end the free, nonviolent visits of Christians, Jews and Muslims to their most holy, religious sites in Jerusalem. If Hamas controls half of the holy city, the very existence of the Jewish state will be threatened. This would be the same Hamas that has a stockpile of 10,000 rockets which they could now fire from Jerusalem instead of at Jerusalem. Remember, every other country in the region hates Israel and would like to destroy it and then gang up on us. Now with the likely takeover of
in the September elections, Israel must also prepare for the possible end to the 30 plus years of peaceful co-existence. I can only hope that you do not subscribe to the same belief as James Clapper, President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence who cluelessly believes that the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular and non-violent. Surely you must know that Israel is the one country in the Middle East that offers Muslims, Arabs, women and gays safety and freedom pathetically lacking in these other countries. If not, then I’m afraid that you, Mr. Morley, have been duped by the liberal, educated, elitist opinion shapers who hate Israel. Yes, oxymorons continue to abound in the land of the oppressive, progressive liberals. Unfortunately, this particular, delusional contradiction just might get us all killed if we don’t help the ACLJ, the tea parties, Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Brigitte Gabriel of ACT! for America and other groups in fighting the politically correct, partisan discourse that has brainwashed the conscience of this country. We cannot let President Obama abandon Israel while pushing for a divided Jerusalem. Oh, and one final comment for Mr. Morley: Only a person totally drunk on fizzy, liberal kool-aid could have taken the liberties you took with your incomprehensible interpretation of Pat Buchanan’s column. As a recovering liberal who was brought up by conservative parents, but indoctrinated into liberalism by leftist college propaganda, I do understand where Mr. Morley is coming from. Yes, I too once drank from the trough of progressive, partisan, social justice ideology, believing I was finally imbued with an open mind having left my neanderthal, knuckle-dragging beliefs behind me. So, Mr. Morley, do keep an open mind, do some research and please write again. You are indeed correct in applauding The Sun for giving all the space it does for disparate views to be heard. I don’t believe there is another newspaper in this state that does it as generously and as well as The Laconia Daily Sun. Russ Wiles

LETTERS Record reveals Romney to be a progressive, not a conservative To the editor, When analyzing the current field of GOP candidates for president in the coming 2012 election the pundit class repeatedly identifies Mitt Romney as the Republican front-runner. We are told again and again what a business genius the man is and it would be difficult to argue that there is not some merit to that acclamation, as he has a proven track record regarding business turnaround which would include his stewardship of the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. However, despite his apparent credentials in business, when one takes a careful look at his record there are some troubling positions Mr. Romney has adopted that should cause voters to carefully consider his fitness for the presidency. Recently candidate Romney has publicly expressed his fondness for ethanol subsidies. This is a laughably naked political ploy designed to curry favor in Iowa, the first caucus state. Ethanol subsidies by the federal government are a demonstrable waste of taxpayer money. The policy does not measurably affect the energy security of our country while it contributes to food price inflation. Ethanol fuels damage internal combustion engines. The fact that ethanol production has to be subsidized by the malinvestment of taxpayer’s money demonstrates its lack of economic merit. Its subsidization contributes additional burden to the yawning federal budget deficit. Despite these facts, Mr. Romney embraces the subsidy. In addition to his professed attraction to corn, Mr. Romney is also a devoted adherent to the dubious science behind anthropogenic global warming. It is apparent that Romney is in the school of folks who, despite lack of adequate proof of its existence, believe that it is the role of the federal government to reshape and per-
manently damage our economy to deal with this supposed threat. Why a supposedly conservative fellow would adopt a pro AGW position, despite the flimsy science surrounding the theory, brings into question the soundness of Mr. Romney’s judgment. That soundness of judgment is brought further into play when one considers his support for socialized health care in Massachusetts during his term as governor. Mr. Romney, the supposed conservative, championed a mandated system of health care for the citizens of Massachusetts which included steep fines for non-participation. As a result of the implementation of that legislation many primary care physicians in that state have stopped accepting new patients and Mass. has the longest wait times to see a physician in the U.S., while having some of the highest health care costs in the country. This seems a very high price to pay to supposedly insure that the citizens of that state all have access to health care. After a careful look at his record, and his current positions on several issues, Mitt Romney appears to believe that the government will provide solutions to our current challenges. Our current state of national bankruptcy, inflation, and a stagnated economy featuring high unemployment, all largely brought on by an over reliance on central authority , suggest that his professed reliance on more government mandates and subsidies and dubious science to cure us of our ills is grossly misplaced. When one analyzes what Mitt Romney believes in the evidence shows that he is not actually the conservative he claims to be, but the progressive he actually is. We already have one of those occupying the White House; we most certainly don’t need another. Charlie Gallagher Gilford
Many older N.H. homes will never hear the cry of a newborn again To the editor, The June 4th Laconia Daily Sun had three letters begging a response. T. Gebhard says the rich create jobs and should not be taxed and in the same breath tells of the agony of standing in unemployment line. This line of crap has been going on forever yet he blames it on President Obama and Governor Lynch. The way it looks to me is that some jobs pay less than what folks get for nothing or many folks don’t qualify for jobs offered. The idea Anna DeRose feels that folks should be able to sell their homes for as much or more than they paid for it is
history. The older houses won’t sell as most people that would buy them won’t qualify and those that do don’t want them. N.H. has many old homes that will never hear the cry of a newborn again. The lights have been turned off. The letter from Jack Stephenson is an ABSOLUTE LIE.The government regulators do not DEMAND that we all have caller ID. It is true that we aren’t required to have a phone. I hope he realizes that plus the well known fact that he can also get an unlisted phone number. Henry Osmer Hill
. . . ‘I asked my momma . . . all she can say, it ain’t Obama’ To the editor, Once in every life the right one comes along courageous, brave and strong whose ethics can’t be bought understands why wars are fought knows when to save and when to spend to us all will be a friend his ethics not for sale sincerity that will long prevail a brilliant leader strong and tall
not from left and not from right makes decisions taunt and tight a friend to rich a friend to poor always shows the open door loves this country down and deep knows when to laugh and when to weep does his best and does it well ideas so good they always sell where is this man of men I asked my momma all she’d say, it “ain’t” Obama.

LETTERS Stop signs give us some partial relief from the SUV terrorists To the editor, In response to Mr Roderick’s narcissistic interpretation of what is an appropriate use of a town road . . . Bedford Ave. is NOT a “through street”. It ends at Morrill Street where you can choose to turn left or right. In the past some traveling way too fast have failed to make that decision and caused extensive property damage. On the other end it ENDS at Gilford Ave, the continuation onto Hounsell is strictly as posted, by road sign, a ONE WAY continuation traveling south. Bedford Ave is a residential neighborhood not unlike the one I grew up in and where we played stick ball nine months of the year IN THE STREET. In the past I have called the police to complain when a child riding a bicycle was nearly run down by one of these lunatics using our street as if it were a “THROUGH STREET”. I stood up at the last Town Meeting, before SB-2, and protested when Sheldon revealed that paving was to be done on Bedford Ave. I expressed my reservations about paving that would enable these lunatics in their SUVs to drive by my house doing 50 MPH. About a year before the STOP signs went up I watched in horror as, one of these terrorists ran over my neighbor’s dog and killed it. It was the dog’s owner’s fault as we have a leash law in Gilford. It could just as easily been a child running into the street to catch an over thrown ball. The “Children at Play” signs even with their enhanced
safety yellow pole strips do not deter these crazies, because, like Mr. Roderick, they live in some other neighborhood! Those signs are posted because we have many small children living on our street, whose parents have not had to waste their time for the last +30 years complaining about crazy lunatics in +4.5 LTR SUVs and such terrorizing our neighborhood. But they have complained in the last few years as I have continued to do. Finally we have some partial relief from these terrorists eroding our property rights and safety of our neighborhood. Last February, as I stopped at the corner of Ridgewood and Sunset on my way to Irwin’s for the free oil change on my new 2011 vehicle, I was nearly T-boned by another terrorist lunatic in a big Honda Tundra pickup coming down hill on Ridgewood. I was waiting for him to start to slow for the stop sign. Lucky for me I waited as that crazy ran through that stop sign doing about 45 MPH. Please, next time you write about asserting your rights and the rights of the motoring public to terrorize our neighborhoods could you please include the street you live on so we can come by some morning at 2 a.m. and burn rubber, send our friends on loud motorcycles your way to drive around your block three or four times or maybe even bag one of “your” neighbor’s dogs or cats.

Cat Path residents should have to reimburse us for paving cost To the editor, While I usually disagree with Terry Stewart on a number of issues, I have to agree with him about Cat Path residents asking that the Town of Gilford make their street a “dead-end” road. Cat Path is a public road paved using Gilford’s tax dollars. Therefore, it should stay a public road. If the nine families on Cat Path insist on turning their street into what would essentially be a “private drive,” they should pay for it. They should pool their resources and pay
the $10,000 to make Cat Path a deadend street. Moreover, they should re-pay the Town of Gilford for paving it in the first place. I agree that too much traffic can sometimes be annoying. I think of my own public road during Bike Week. Still, it is not fair that the town’s taxpayers should pay for the enhanced privacy of a few. Pay for it yourself. I hope the Gilford Selectmen will deny this request. E. Scott Cracraft Gilford

To the editor, I remember when Diane Sawyer showed all the furniture in a middle class home was all from made in CHINA, not the U.S.A. like it should be. They had truck loads of furnishing for that house that were made in the U.S.A. It only cost them $64 more for made in the U.S.A. furniture and household goods. If we would only read where our goods are from we can create 200,000 new jobs right here in the good old U.S.A. Buying food means you should look at where it is from. It always says made in CHINA and other countries. Example: we bought mandarin oranges in a can and it said it was from CHINA! So we bought a off brand made in CALIFORNIA. We are not thinking while the CHINESE, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior toxic products and dangerous toys and goods sold in AMERICAN markets. Seventy percent of Americans believe
that the trading privileges afforded to the CHINESE should be suspended. We do not need the government to suspend trading privileges. We can do this ourselves AMERICA! Look on the bottom of each product you buy,and if it says made in CHINA get another brand made in the U.S.A. You would be amazed at how dependent we are on CHINESE products. Don’t wait for the government to do anything about this. Do it on your own. If every American would refuse to buy just $20 of CHINESE goods that would be a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor and fast. Let’s do this starting now — until July 1st. With that trading loss to CHINA it will hit the CHINESE for 1/12th, or 8-percent, of their American exports. Wouldn’t that be great? Remember, start now. Think of all the jobs we can create here in the good old U.S.A. If we do nothing then see next page

TEACHERS from page one Superintendent Bob Champlin during a mid-afternoon press briefing. The LEA and the Laconia Association of Support Staff (custodians) have already approved the contract and the Educational Assistants of Laconia (the paraprofessionals) will vote this week. The three unions that represent the school district’s employees are the first of seven total unions in the city to reach accord and Champlin said he thought the cooperative steps taken by the school district’s unions and the School Board are “historic” for the city. “We took a creative way of keeping within the budget,” Tivey said. The newly negotiated insurance piece requires all teachers to take the Open Access Plus insurance plan through Cigna and it will cost individual employees more “out-of-pocket” money to use the coverage. The savings to the district — about $600,000 for each of the the two-year agreements — will be returned to the teachers in the form of a taxable stipend to be used to either offset their costs or to be put into a health savings account. For those on a family plan the stipend is $2,000 annually, for a two-person plan the stipend is $1,600 annually and for a single plan the stipend is $1,200. The stipends will be paid over 20 pay periods and will be considered taxable income for the employee although the money will be carried in the school budget as an insurance offset similar to the money that goes to school district employees who opt-out or choose to get their insurance elsewhere. Employees can do what the want with the money
but each employee will be set up with an health insurance savings account that, under IRS law, allows pretax income to be used for medical-related expenses including dental — not included in the Laconia School District’s insurance — medicine, and eye care. The health savings plan can also be used, according to federal law, for child care expenses. Previously, the School District’s employees had their choice of three different plans each with it own costs and benefits. The School District agreed to pay 90-percent of the most expensive option and more of two less-expensive plans. Under the new one-size-fits-all insurance plan, Champlin said the cost savings is such that the school district will pay all of the premiums. Employees will contribute nothing. Previously, the most expensive family plan would cost the district about $26,000 while the new Open Access Plus costs the district about $19,700 for a family plan. Champlin said one of the goals in negotiating the insurance component with the Cigna was to try and get the maximum cost of a family insurance plan under $20,000 per year. He said this fiscal year, that ends on June 30, the district will spend $4.6-million on insurance and the district will spend $4.6-million for next fiscal year, ending on June 30, 2012. Should the premiums increase, and Champlin said they likely would for 2012-2013 by a maximum of 10-percent — the second contract year’s cost would be born by the School District. Chair Bob Dassatti coined the agreement as a “two-pocket” solution that takes money from one pocket — the costs of health insurance to the district
— and returns it in some form to the pockets of the employees who will spend more for health insurance and health care. Tivey said the LEA agreed to two years but declined to negotiate a third year. “We’re hoping the economy turns around and we’re hoping the community remembers what the teachers have done,” said Tivey. “We’re banking on it.” “What the teachers have given us (in this past year and with the new contract) could have cost the taxpayers as much as $900,000 in step increases and $600,000 in cost-of-living increases,” said Dassatti. “The teachers have taken the lead on this,” said Champlin, who added that the School Board and administration realize the greatest asset the School District has is its employees. BIKERS from page 3 “Our marketing investments have been strengthened by Harley-Davidson Motor Company, which selected Laconia Motorcycle Week as one of the three national rallies that it would support with online marketing support, demos and exhibits,” said Deli. “Riders can engage with us online leading up to Bike Week then have the opportunity to test drive a brand new 2011 bike at the Harley-Davidson Motor Company demo, located adjacent to our dealership. It is the ultimate convergence of online engagement and in-person sales.” Deli is hopeful for a strong kickoff to the summer motorcycling season. “Last year was a record year for Laconia Harley-Davidson and we are confident that we will continue these positive trends in 2011.” FOURTH from page one followed by food vendors and live music at 5 p.m. and closing with the fireworks at 10 p.m. She said that organizers are recruiting groups to participate in the parade as well as vendors, who will require city permits. She said that the Eric Grant Band has been booked for the occasion, but spots for two other bands remain open. Lovisek said that the beach at Opechee Point will be closed during the afternoon of the fourth while the fireworks are loaded on to the barge. Marchers, vendors and bands wanting to take part in the festivities should contact Lovisek at 524-5046 for more information. from preceding page and defend, hopefully not further than that.” With a blaze as large as this being driven by unpredictable and gusty winds, putting the fire out is a gargantuan task. All fire managers can do is try to steer it away from homes and cabins by using natural terrain, burning out combustible material first and trying to put out spot fires sparked by embers blowing in front of the main fire front. New mapping showed that some fire breaks have held but the wildfire was still considered zero percent contained Tuesday. Dozens of firefighters worked Tuesday alongside a stretch of Highway 191 about two miles outside of Springerville, burning combustible material such as vegetation along one side of the road in an effort to keep the approaching fire from jumping across and heading into town. Puffs of smoke billowed from underneath juniper and pinyon trees as flames licked at the trees. Jeff Brink, a member of an Idaho-based Bureau of Land Management fire crew, had spent the better part of Tuesday doing burnouts and making sure the flames stayed on one side of the highway while warily watching the weather. “Obviously, with these winds, when we’re burning out the wind can shift,” Brink said. The American Red Cross has an evacuation center at the high school about 15 miles west in Lakeside, Ariz. that can handle several thousand people, spokesman Mark Weldon said. The center was opened at Blue Ridge high after last week’s evacuation of about 2,700 people from nearly mountain communities, but only about 50 were there before the new evacuations on Tuesday. Extra cots, blankets and comfort kits were rushed to the school

LHS’s Debbie Gibson named N.H. Band Director of the Year Music teacher and band director Debbie Gibson was feted last night at the Laconia School Board meeting for being named the New Hampshire Band Director of the Year. Gibson, a teacher in Laconia since 1989, was lauded by both staff, board members and her students for instilling a sense of discipline, pride, responsibility and self-respect into the lives of the nearly 70 students she teachers annually. Gibson, at times overcome with emotion, said she was thrilled to be honored by the very people in the state who she turned to for advice and support during her 20 plus years of teaching but said she owed the real credit to the students, the families of her students and the band boosters who support her “like they are my other arm.” Pictured are Gibson and School Board Vice Chair and parent Joe Cormier who has had two of his children involved in Gibson’s music programs.

With thefts in mind, Belmont police urge locked cars BELMONT — Police said Tuesday that over the past two days two vehicles have been stolen from town residents. Chief Vincent Biaocchetti said the two vehicles are a 1999 green Dodge Durango stolen from Diane Drive and a 2003 red Dodge 1500 pickup stolen from Dutile Road. In addition to the vehicle thefts, seven people from the Pine Garden area on Route 140, Mile Hill Road, Lamprey Road ans Sunset Drive reported thefts of items from their vehicles. He said one person reported the theft of a firearm from a car and others have reported electronics and cash were taken.

The Top 10 graduating seniors for 2011 LACONIA — With a couple exceptions, the top 10 graduating seniors from Laconia High School will enroll at different colleges and major in different subjects with the intention of pursuing different careers. The odd ones out are Meghan Hubbard and Brenna Cass, who will both study Spanish at Boston College, but there the similarity ends. Hubbard expects to put her Spanish to work in the classroom teaching others while Cass plans to take to the streets as a social worker after spicing her Spanish with sociology. Both credit Senor Andy Paronto, their Spanish teacher, with firing their enthusiasm for the language. “We have a strong academic group in our senior class,” said Jared Guilmett, one of two boys among the top 10. The other, Markus Mariano, who came to Laconia when he was 13, appreciated the company of those who shared his academic aspirations. “At first I kind of tagged along,” he said, “but gradually became more intimate. We’ve always had our study groups and we’re always pushing each other.” Guilmett will attend the Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, to prepare for a career as an architect. He has served an internship with

Red Sox take series opener in the Bronx, 6-4 NEW YORK (AP) — David Ortiz hit a two-run homer and Jonathan Papelbon labored through the ninth inning to earn his 200th save, leading the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees 6-4 Tuesday night. Jacoby Ellsbury led off the game with a home run and Adrian Gonzalez hit an RBI triple as the Red Sox roughed up Freddy Garcia (4-5) early to move within two percentage points of the first-place Yankees in the AL East. New York first baseman Mark Teixeira left the game in pain after getting hit on the kneecap by a first-inning pitch from Jon Lester. Derek Jeter had two hits to move within 12 of 3,000. He entered the 10-game homestand with 2,986 and said the most pressure he feels in his march toward the milestone is reaching the mark at Yankee Stadium. Working on seven days’ rest, Lester (8-2) gave up three runs and eight hits — seven singles — in six innings. The Red Sox have been on a tear since arriving in the Bronx on May 13, starting a run in which they have won 17 of 23 with a three-game sweep of the Yankees. They have beaten New York in six of their seven meetings this year. Papelbon, pitching while he appeals a three-game ban for making contact with an umpire Saturday,
gave up an RBI single to Jorge Posada but struck out Alex Rodriguez with a runner on second for his 12th save. He reached 200 saves in 359 appearances, fewest in baseball history. Mariano Rivera is next at 382 games. Red Sox reliever Bobby Jenks left in the seventh after throwing just four pitches because of tightness in his back. Matt Albers came on and finished a walk to Posada before retiring three in a row. Daniel Bard was perfect in the eighth. Ellsbury hit the fourth leadoff homer of his career, and the Red Sox chased Garcia soon after. Garcia, along with Bartolo Colon, has been a steady surprise for the Yankees, helping to fill voids in the rotation left by the retired Andy Pettitte and injured Phil Hughes. Garcia had gone at least five innings in each of his nine starts this season, but was knocked out after just 1 2-3 innings. After Ellsbury connected, Dustin Pedroia walked, Gonzalez tripled and Kevin Youkilis hit a sacrifice fly. Pedroia had an RBI double in the second to make it 4-1. Garcia intentionally walked Gonzalez to load the bases, ending his night. Restless Yankees fans booed as Garcia walked off the field having given up four hits, three walks and four runs.
Motorcyclist injured in collision on Academy Street LACONIA — A motorcyclist suffered what police described as “a very serious leg injury “when he was struck by a sport utility vehicle at the junction of Academy Street and Webster Street early yesterday morning. Mark Perkins, Sr., 57 of 25 South Street was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital by members of the Laconia Fire Department where his condition was not known at press time.
Perkins, riding a 2004 Honda VTX 1300, was traveling northeast on Academy Street when the 2008 Jeep Wrangler, driven in the opposite direction by Kimberly Monset, 35, of 77 Webster Street, sought to make a left turn on to Webster Street. Monset did not see the oncoming motorcycle and the two vehicles collided. Police said that neither speed nor alcohol contributed to the accident.

The president of the band, who plays clarinet, saxophone and French horn, Elizabeth Fortson also plans on an international career after studying environmental science and Chinese at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Amy Cass, who ran cross country, shot hoops and pitched softballs, plans to study international relations at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, with an eye to unraveling the mysteries of the Middle East. Together with Dionne and Fortson, Cass attended the advanced studies program at St. Paul’s School in Concord, which she called “the best
month of my life.” Medicine has claimed Geltz, who will train for a career as a nurse at the University of New Hampshire, and Priya Nethala, a soccer and softball player enrolled as a pre-med student at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia , where she plans to study neuroscience as the prelude to a career as a neurologist. With a full scholarship, Brooke Baerman, who performs on the stage and at the piano, will attend Syracuse University to study art history and English literature, aiming toward a career as a museum curator. The singular achievements and diverse aspirations of these young men and women speak to the opportunities and rewards offered by Laconia High School for those with the spirit and resolve to seize them.

$73k donation from Tanger Outlet Center funds makeover for oncology department at LRGH By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Lakes Region General Hospital’s oncology department has hosted a “celebration of life” on Cancer Survivors Day for many years. Yesterday, the annual celebration was punctuated by the unveiling of refurbished facilities, a project that was possible thanks to donations from the Tanger Outlet Cener in Tilton. The project, which began with discussions in February and concluded with the finishing touches this week, included an interior makeover of the oncology department and its treatment center. Tom Clairmont, president and CEO of LRGHealthcare, said the total cost of the project was $90,000. Tanger contributed $73,000 and the hospital raised funds to cover additional costs through private donations. The project was designed by Marcia Cotter, of Decorative Interiors in Laconia, who started by polling oncology patients. In accordance with poll results, Cotter designed an interior including the color blue within a nature theme. Blue, leaf-patterned carpets were installed that complements the soft yellow paint on the walls, upon which are hung photographs and paintings of local nature scenes. New furniture is expected to make oncology patients
more comfortable during their visits. In the treatment center, wood flooring was added as well as flatscreen televisions. Sherry Cesati, director of oncology and hematology, said the renovation will create a pleasant environment for patients. “This unit is much more about living. All the pictures are about life. It’s quieter, it’s more soothing, it’s more comfortable for them.” “We’re hoping people can look into the photographs and be in another place,” said Cotter. Clairmont said the oncology renovation was only the most recent result of the hospital’s relationship with the Tanger Outlet Center. He noted that the business has contributed more than $250,000 to the hospital’s projects. “The generosity of the Tanger Outlet has been nothing short of amazing,” Clairmont said. Earlier donations were largely used to purchase digital mammography equipment. Eric Proulx, general manager of the Tanger Outlet Center, said that his company, across the country, seeks to benefit breast cancer patients. Initially, he said, the Tilton center would contribute to a national organization but in 2006 decided to use its fundraising to benefit the local health care organization.

Mavericks even NBA Finals series with Heat at 2 making his first three shots. But then he missed 10 of 11, and missed a free throw for the first time since Game 4 of the conference finals. By then, word spread of his illness. With the game -- and likely the series -- on the line, Nowitzki found a way to come through. He made only 2 of 6 shots, but that included a terrific layup with 14.4 seconds left; he made all six of his free throws. Hey, if he could win Game 2 with a left-handed layup two days after tearing a tendon in the tip of his middle finger, what’s a little temperature? “We all seen him go through walkthroughs,” Chandler said. “Every time he started to talk he started coughing. He was wheezing.” Miami was poised to take a commanding lead in the series when Udonis Haslem hit a jumper that made it 74-65 early in the fourth quarter. It was the Heat’s biggest lead and the way Nowitzki was playing, the Mavericks didn’t seem capable of pulling off another rally like the 22-5 finish that won Game 2. Yet Jason Terry -- who kick-started that comeback with six straight points -- made consecutive baskets, and the surge was on. Terry ended up capping it with two free throws with 6.7 seconds left that forced Miami to need a 3-pointer.
ECONOMY from page one But he said he expected job creation and overall economic growth to rebound in coming months. “The economic recovery appears to be continuing at a moderate pace, albeit at a rate that is both uneven across sectors and frustratingly slow from the perspective of millions of unemployed and underemployed workers,” he said at a banking conference in Atlanta. Bernanke said the central bank would not consider the recovery well-established “until we see a sustained period of stronger job creation.” He repeated a pledge that central bank officials have been making for more than two years: that they will keep interest rates at record lows “for an extended period.” Bernanke said that consumer inflation has jumped 3.5 percent in the six months ending in April — well above the average of less than 1 percent over the preceding two years. But he noted that most of the increase had been caused by higher gas prices, which have been creeping down in recent weeks. Excluding food and energy, inflation has been tame, he noted. He also noted that supply disruptions stemming
from the March earthquake and tsunami in Japan have hampered growth in the April-June quarter. But he said the effect on manufacturing output will likely ease in the coming months. Bernanke disagreed with critics who say the Fed’s policies are raising inflation risks by weakening the dollar and contributing to the jump in oil and commodity prices. He said that slow growth in the United States and a persistent trade deficit were the fundamental reasons for the dollar’s decline, and not the Fed’s interest rate policies. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., asked Bernanke if he was concerned that rules from last year’s financial overhaul law will take effect just as the economy is slowing. Bernanke responded that the worst financial since the Great Depression “revealed a lot of weak spots” that needed to be addressed. But he said regulators were trying to make sure financial institutions would not be overburdened with costs to meet the rules.

DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks have pulled off another stunning comeback, tying the NBA finals at two games each. And this time, Nowitzki did it while battling the flu. Nowitzki shook off three poor quarters to score 10 of his 21 points in the final period as the Mavericks outscored the Miami Heat 21-9 over the final 10:12 for an 86-83 victory in a memorable Game 4 Tuesday night. The Mavs avoided going down 3-1, a deficit no team has ever overcome in the finals, and guaranteed the series will return to Miami for a Game 6 on Sunday night. “We just played with incredible heart and passion,” Dallas center Tyson Chandler said. Dwyane Wade scored 32 points, but fumbled an inbounds pass with 6.7 seconds left. He knocked the ball back to Mike Miller for a potential tying 3-pointer, but it wasn’t even close to hitting the rim. Chris Bosh scored 24 points for Miami, but the Heat got a stunningly unproductive game from their biggest star, LeBron James. He scored only eight points, making just 3 of 11 shots. He contributed nine rebounds and seven assists, but his lack of scoring sticks out because of the loss. Nowitzki opened the game looking just fine,

part Tilton and part Northfield) came in 1860 from the Hon. Judge Asa P. Cate and Samuel B. Rogers, who had attended an Episcopal Church in Michigan. Trinity’s first house of worship was purchased at auction for $300. A former Methodist Church, it is now the Northfield Town Hall. Regular worship services commenced there in 1861.
The Rev. Marcellus A. Herrick, Trinity’s first rector, came from Woodstock, VT. He saw the Town of Tilton established in 1869 and the building of the current Trinity Church, designed by Concord architect Edward Dow. The new church was opened for services on Easter Day, April 13, 1873 and was consecrated in May of 1875 by the Bishop W. W. Niles. The total cost for land, building, and furnishings was $15,000. The lot, which is currently the church lawn, was obtained in 1881 and has been the site of many social and religious activities which continue to this day. The Church Spire was added by Mrs. Abigail. B. B. Tilton, widow of Alexander H. Tilton, in 1883. The completion of the building with spire is considered to be the best surviving 19th century Gothic Revival style church in Belknap County. The spire has experienced changes over the years, including the metal cross being bent at its base on a 90 degree angle by the gale of September 21, 1938, and the location of a cellular telephone tower antenna in 2002. In a recent homily, the Rev. Mark Kozielec, Priest-in-Charge at Trinity, said, “One hunsee next page

Eleven artists will perform Classical, Romantic, or Modern solo piano music throughout the afternoon including Wolfeboro resident and Kingswood High School senior Matthew Lounsbury.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, June 8, 2011— Page 19
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, June 8, the 159th day of 2011. There are 206 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 8, 1861, voters in Tennessee approved an Ordinance of Secession passed the previous month by the state legislature. On this date: In A.D. 632, the prophet Muhammad died in Medina. In 1845, Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, died in Nashville, Tenn. In 1864, Abraham Lincoln was nominated for another term as president during the National Union (Republican) Party’s convention in Baltimore. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt offered to act as a mediator in the RussoJapanese War. In 1953, the Supreme Court ruled that restaurants in the District of Columbia could not refuse to serve blacks. In 1966, a merger was announced between the National and American Football Leagues, to take effect in 1970. In 1967, 34 U.S. servicemen were killed when Israel attacked the USS Liberty, a Navy intelligence-gathering ship in the Mediterranean. (Israel later said the Liberty had been mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.) In 1978, a jury in Clark County, Nev., ruled the so-called “Mormon will,” purportedly written by the late billionaire Howard Hughes, was a forgery. In 1995, U.S. Marines rescued Capt. Scott O’Grady, whose F-16C fighter jet had been shot down by Bosnian Serbs on June 2. One year ago: In several high-profile Republican primaries, Meg Whitman won the nomination for California governor while Carly Fiorina got the nod to oppose threeterm Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer; in Nevada, Sharron Angle won the right to oppose Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Today’s Birthdays: Former First Lady Barbara Bush is 86. Actor-comedian Jerry Stiller is 84. Comedian Joan Rivers is 78. Actress Millicent Martin is 77. Actor James Darren is 75. Actor Bernie Casey is 72. Singer Nancy Sinatra is 71. Singer Chuck Negron is 69. Musician Boz Scaggs is 67. Actor Don Grady is 67. Actress Kathy Baker is 61. Country musician Tony Rice is 60. Actor Griffin Dunne is 56. “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams is 54. Actor-director Keenen Ivory Wayans is 53. Musician Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran) is 49. Actress Julianna Margulies is 44. Actor Dan Futterman is 44. Actor David Sutcliffe is 42. Actress Kelli Williams is 41. Actor Mark Feuerstein is 40. Rapper Kanye (KAHN’-yay) West is 34. Blues-rock musician Derek Trucks (The Derek Trucks Band) is 32. Folk-bluegrass singer-musician Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek) is 30. Actress Torrey DeVitto is 27.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My best friend, “Jamie,” lives five hours away. She and her husband, “Bob,” are both disabled. Jamie has several chronic illnesses that leave her in pain and exhausted most of the time. Bob weighs about 500 pounds and is immobile and bedridden. They have two teenaged children who are also obese. I recently visited and was appalled to see their living conditions. What used to be messy has devolved into absolute filth -- dirty clothes, papers, half-empty soda cans, candy wrappers, dirty dishes and spilled food, topped off with cat urine and feces. I was horrified and disgusted. Jamie’s husband and children treat her like an indentured servant. Bob has a caregiver during the day, but relies on Jamie at night. And he is impatient and surly. The kids whine for Mommy when they can’t find things, and they claim to be too “exhausted” to lift a finger. The weekend I was there, the kids did nothing but eat, sleep, sulk, whine and play computer games. They are two of the laziest humans I have ever met and are totally self-involved. Bob and the kids don’t care a wit about wallowing in filth. I have watched them drop food and garbage on the floor and walk away. Jamie has given up trying to clean up after these three little pigs. I think Jamie’s surroundings are slowly killing her. I realize she is a major enabler, and I don’t want to criticize her when she feels so overwhelmed. But watching their lives disintegrate isn’t an option. What can I do? -- Frustrated Friend Dear Frustrated: We’re surprised Bob’s caregiver hasn’t called the authorities to report the filth. There’s not much you can do for someone who refuses help. Perhaps you or a group of friends can offer to send over a cleaning service if Jamie is amenable and you can afford it. Beyond that, please talk to her and express your concern without judgment or accusation. Suggest that she look into low-cost counseling for herself
so she can develop better coping skills. Tell her to do it for the sake of her children. Dear Annie: My mother passed away six months ago. The morning of her service, a cousin I hadn’t seen in more than two years decided to tell me what a horrible daughter I was and brought up many things that had happened in the past. Two aunts refused to speak to me. Granted, my mother and I didn’t have the best relationship, but we had taken many steps forward, and things were better. My relatives live in a small town, and criticizing and gossiping is what they do for fun. Why can’t they let go of the past and look at all the great things my mother and I did in the last several years? I am very hurt that my cousin thought my mother’s funeral was the best time to chew me out. -- Still Hurt Dear Still: If your relatives relish criticizing others, you shouldn’t expect them to be considerate and kind simply because the circumstances seem to require decorum and respect. Ignore them. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Gone to the Gym,” who complained about the overweight nurses in the cardiologist’s office. Most nurses I know never dreamed of becoming overweight. Unfortunately, they have horrendous schedules that don’t benefit their health. Many work long hours with breaks too short to do anything but grab a quick bite. Some nurses work 12-hour shifts and then go home to take care of a spouse, children and household responsibilities. Sleep is a luxury. Numerous studies have pointed to the effects of rotating shifts on metabolism, as well as the effects of lack of sleep on our weight. Most people are aware of the punishing schedules of medical residents in training. But that only lasts a few years. Working conditions for nurses last for decades. -- No Name Nurse
