2-alarm fire stops production at Northfield plant NORTHFIELD — A two alarm fire in the waxing area of a manufacturing plant yesterday brought firefighters from as far away as Gilford and sent 110 employees scurrying to safety. Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Brad Ober said the first firefighters arrived at 11:16 a.m., saw smoke coming from the roof of PCC Castings at 24 Granite St. and called for a first alarm. A second alarm was see FIRE page10

Myers Meredith Library said no longer meeting the needs of community ‘in its current configuration’ suggests borrowing to upgrade worn DPW fleet
MEREDITH — A report on the condition of the Public Library presented to the Board of Selectmen at a workshop last week suggested that an investment of between $260,000 and $383,000 would be required to overcome safety issues, undertake immediate repairs and ultimately restore and preserve the building.
Prepared for the trustees by Norman Larson of Christopher P. Williams Architects, the report identified the staircase at the rear of the building, which provides the second means of egress in an emergency, as a major safety concern and a leaky roof and damp basement as risks to the buildsee MEREDITH page 12

LACONIA — A trio of city councilors — Brenda Baer (Ward 4), Bob Hamel (Ward 5) and Armand Bolduc (Ward 6), accompanied by city manager Scott Myers — visited the Department of Public Works yesterday where they cast their eyes over the most aged members of the vehicle fleet and assessed Director Paul Moynihan’s requests for new equipment. A pair of five-ton dump trucks at $120,000 apiece to replacing two 15 yearolds topped Moynihan’s list, followed by a street sweeper at $220,000, backhoe for $120,000 and used road grader at about $60,000. In addition, Moynihan told the councilors that the sand storage shed at the New England Yard on Messer Street had become unsafe and should be razed, along with a storage building on Strafford Street. He recommended constructing a new sand storage building at the department’s headquarters on Bisson Avenue, which is estimated to cost $110,000. Typically, $150,000 is budgeted to the DPW each year for equipment. In the see DPW page 12

NEW YORK (AP) — The comic mechanics on NPR’s “Car Talk” are pulling in to the garage. Brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi said Friday they will stop making new episodes of their joke-filled auto advice show at the end of September, 25 years after “Car Talk” began in Boston. Repurposed versions of old shows will stay on National Public Radio indefinitely, however. The show airs every Saturday morning and is NPR’s most popular program. “We’ve managed to avoid getting thrown off NPR for 25 years, giving tens of thousands of wrong answers and had a hell of a time every week talking to callers,” Ray Magliozzi said. “The stuff in our archives still makes us laugh. So we figured, why keep slaving over a hot microphone?” The duo will continue writing their “Dear Tom and Ray” column twice a week, NPR said. With their byplay and Boston accents, “Car Talk” was as much about laughs as motor see CAR TALK page 14

I’ll Have Another retired on eve of Triple Crown try NEW YORK (AP) — I’ll Have Another’s bid for the first Triple Crown in 34 years ended shockingly in the barn and not on the racetrack Friday when the colt was scratched the day before the Belmont Stakes and retired with a swollen tendon. “It’s been an incredible ride, an incredible run,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “It’s a bummer. It’s not tragic, but it’s a huge disappointment.” I’ll Have Another, who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes with stirring stretch drives, was the 4-5 favorite to win the Belmont and become the 12th Triple Crown winner and first since 1978. Instead, he becomes the 12th horse since Affirmed, the last Triple champion, to win the first two legs but not the Belmont.
The scratch marks the first time since Bold Venture in 1936 that the Derby and Preakness winner didn’t run in the Belmont. Burgoo King skipped the race in 1932. “Could he run and compete? Yes. Would it be in his best interest? No,” O’Neill said. He said the swollen left front tendon was the beginning of tendinitis, which could have taken six months to treat, and so the popular horse was retired. “Yesterday he galloped great, but in the afternoon we noticed some loss of definition in his left front leg,” he said, addressing the media outside the Belmont barns while I’ll Have Another grazed nearby. “We did just an easy gallop today. I thought he looked great on the track, and then cooling
out, you could tell the swelling was back.” O’Neill said he conferred with owner J. Paul Reddam and they contacted Dr. Jim Hunt, who examined the horse. “... Immediately we got Dr. Hunt over here and he scanned him and he said it was the start of tendinitis in his left front tendon and you can give him 3-to-6 months and start back with him,” O’Neill said. “It was unanimous between the Reddams and my brother and I and everyone at the barn to retire him.” Reddam confirmed that, saying: “We’re all a bit shocked, but we have to do what’s best for the horse. And if he can’t compete at the top level, he’s done enough.” After the news conference, O’Neill led see HORSE page 9
Attorney General appoints 2 prosecutors to probe government leaks WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday appointed two U.S. attorneys to lead a pair of criminal investigations into possible unauthorized disclosures of classified information, authorizing the two prosecutors to follow all appropriate investigative leads within the executive and legislative branches of government. Ronald Machen, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and Rod Rosenstein, the U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland, will direct separate probes that are already being conducted by the FBI. “These two highly respected and expe-
rienced prosecutors will be directing separate investigations,” Holder said in a statement. “I have every confidence in their abilities to doggedly follow the facts and the evidence in pursuit of justice wherever it leads.” Three weeks ago, FBI Director Robert Mueller said the bureau had launched an investigation into who leaked information about an al-Qaida plot to place an explosive device aboard a U.S.-bound airline flight. Separately, calls from Capitol Hill have mounted urging a leak probe into a New York Times story a week ago about U.S. involvement in cyber-attacks on Iran.

The attorney general said Machen and Rosenstein “are fully authorized to prosecute criminal violations discovered as a result of their investigations and matters related to those violations.” Currently, Machen is leading a high-profile political corruption probe of officials in the District of Columbia. The latest development in that investigation came this week when District of Columbia Council chairman Kwame Brown resigned after being charged with lying about his income on bank loan applications.

Oregon man caught Mob attacks women at Egypt anti sex-assault rally CAIRO (AP) — A mob of hundreds of men who joined to hands to form a protective ring around sneaking girlfriend into assaulted women holding a march demanding an them. The protesters carried posters saying, “The to sexual harassment Friday, with the attackers people want to cut the hand of the sexual harasser,” his apt. building in suitcase end overwhelming the male guardians and groping and and chanted, “The Egyptian girl says it loudly, PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police say a 50-year-old Oregon woman is in trouble because of her relationship baggage — but it’s not the emotional kind. Kola J. McGrath was arrested Monday for trespassing after workers at her boyfriend’s downtown Portland apartment complex discovered the man was sneaking her into the building by hiding her in a large rolling suitcase. She was banned from the building last year for breaking a fire extinguisher case during an argument. The Oregonian reportsMcGrath is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 96 pounds. Police were notified when a caller reported a man had kidnapped a woman, placed her in a pink suitcase and taken her to the apartment building. Officers then searched 52-year-old Curtis T. Lowe’s apartment and found McGrath hiding in a closet.
molesting several of the female marchers in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. From the ferocity of the assault, some of the victims said it appeared to have been an organized attempt to drive women out of demonstrations and trample on the pro-democracy protest movement. The attack follows smaller scale assaults on women this week in Tahrir, the epicenter of the uprising that forced Hosni Mubarak to step down last year. Thousands have been gathering in the square this week in protests over a variety of issues — mainly over worries that presidential elections this month will secure the continued rule by elements of Mubarak’s regime backed by the ruling military. Earlier in the week, an Associated Press reporter witnessed around 200 men assault a woman who eventually fainted before men trying to help could reach her. Friday’s march was called to demand an end to sexual assaults. Around 50 women participated, surrounded by a larger group of male supporters
harassment is barbaric.” After the marchers entered a crowded corner of the square, a group of men waded into the women, heckling them and groping them. The male supporters tried to fend them off, and it turned into a melee involving a mob of hundreds. The marchers tried to flee while the attackers chased them and male supporters tried to protect them. But the attackers persisted, cornering several women against a metal sidewalk railing, including an Associated Press reporter, shoving their hands down their clothes and trying to grab their bags. The male supporters fought back, swinging belts and fists and throwing water. Eventually, the women were able to reach refuge in a nearby building with the mob still outside until they finally got out to safety. “After what I saw and heard today. I am furious at so many things. Why beat a girl and strip her off? Why?” wrote Sally Zohney, one of the organizers of the event on Twitter.

After half-century of service, Cattle Landing dock replaced with new design By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Bear Island seasonal residents and vacationers were greeted with a new sight when they made their first trip to Lake Winnipesaukee this year. The town-owned dock at Cattle Landing, which had served as a jumping off point to the island for the better part of a century, was replaced late last fall. In its place is a new dock which utilizes some decidedly more modern design elements than its predecessor. The new dock, at about 80 feet long, is approximately the same length as the dock it replaces. Eight feet wide, it’s slightly wider. Mike Faller, the director of Meredith’s Public Works Department, said his records on the old dock trace back to the 1950s. “It’s been fixed many times,” he said, alluding to the fact that there were few, if any, original components remaining when Ambrose Marine removed the dock late last year. That old dock, Faller noted, had some shortcomings that its replacement corrects. For one thing, the load bearing components were made out of re-purposed telephone poles. “They still had the numbers stamped onto them,” he said. And telephone poles are saturated with creosote, he noted, a substance which doesn’t sit well with with contemporary cleanwater concerns. Another problem with the old dock, according to Faller, was the fixed position of its deck was about a foot above the average lake level. However, when that level would drop, users of smaller boats would have a difficult time climbing onto the dock. In that dock’s place is one which floats and therefore will always be at the same level relative to boats. “I designed the dock to what people wanted,” said Faller. He started with a standard design for a floating dock with concrete-encased foam decking. It’s a type of dock that is increasing in popularity, especially in saltwater applications and in northern climates, such as Canada. The design originally called for cleats as the only means for boaters to tie off their vessel, however, he added vertical posts to

the design to accomodate the less agile users, who grab ahold of the posts to balance themselves as they step from the boat. Because of the dozens of posts he’s had to replace each year due to boaters forgetting to untie before pulling away, Faller would like to see boaters tie only to the cleats. He realizes, though, that many will continue the habit of tieing to the posts. Lastly, the design included two light fixtures on the dock, added to address the common complaint that a nearby streetlight fails to illuminate the entire dock. The fixtures, he said, produce a low light that is aimed downward and is designed to avoid contributing to light pollution. In conclusion, Faller said the dock will be more environmentally friendly, easier to climb onto from boats and better lit at night. Of the early reviews of the new dock, Faller said, “most of it has been positive.” There has been some concern that the three fiberglass pillars that hold the dock in place will reduce parking capacity, though Faller doesn’t think that’s the case. One user complained to him that the dock dam-

aged his boat. Faller, though, thinks the damage was result of the boat being too loosely tied – someone moved the boat and didn’t tie it as snugly as it should have been. If boats are bound tightly to the dock, and bumpers are utilized, he doesn’t think the dock will be likely to cause damage. “It’s up to you to put bumpers out,” he said. “It wasn’t the dock’s fault that the gentleman’s boat was damaged.” Lauryn Libby found the dock handy on Friday morning as she made the trip from Bear Island so she could take “Tag,” her dachshund, for a jog on the mainland. “It’s nice that they’re keeping it up so we can use it,” she said. Her only criticism was the short section of grate connecting the dock to the wooden staircase, which leads to the roadway. Her dog’s paws were so small that she feared he would fall through, so she carries him across. “The only thing I don’t care for is this grate.” Reggie Glines, a contractor, pulled up to the dock a few minutes behind Libby. He didn’t have any complaints about the design, though he wasn’t ready to issue a verdict. “We haven’t hit any hard weather yet. So far, it works pretty good.”

Barber’s Pole no-wake-zone controversy results in new law CONCORD — Governor John Lynch last week signed legislation introduced on behalf of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire to ensure that when the Department of Safety considers restricting the use of public waters that all abutting property owners are informed of the proposal before the scheduled public hearing. House Bill 342 was filed in response to a proposal in 2010 to designate the channel at Barber’s Pole in Tuftonboro a no wake zone. A group of residents on nearby islands petitioned the Department of Safety, which held a public hearing. Many abutters were not notified and only learned of the proposal after it was approved by the Commissioner of Safety on the strength of testimony presented at the hearing dominated by its support-
ers. The decision was appealed and reversed after another public hearing. The bill requires the petitioners to notify all abutters by certified mail, much like local planning boards, and requires the state to post notice of the hearing on its website two weeks prior to the hearing. The past law provided only that the Department of Safety place a legal notice announcing the proposed change and public hearing in a statewide newspaper, which escaped the attention of many seasonal properties. Scott Verdonck of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire said that changing the law will help to ensure that those most immediately affected by proposals to restrict the use of public waters have an opportunity to fully participate in the decision-making process. — Michael Kitch
LEAKS from page 2 helped lead the white-collar and internal investigation practices at the prominent Washington law firm of WilmerHale. He served as an assistant U.S. attorney from 1997 to 2001. Rosenstein was an associate independent counsel who worked for Whitewater prosecutor Ken Starr from 1995 to 1997. He was co-counsel in the fraud trial of Jim and Susan McDougal, the former real estate partners of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Both of the McDougals were convicted in a trial that also resulted in the conviction of then-Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker. The chairman of the House Judi-
ciary Committee, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said he hopes that the Justice Department brings “the full force of the law against these criminals.” “We need to send a clear message to anyone who considers leaking sensitive information and putting Americans at risk: If you leak classified information, you will face jail time,” Smith said in a statement. The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., called Machen and Rosenstein “strong, capable, independent prosecutors” and said the Justice Department’s consultation with the Judiciary and Intelligence committees was an aid to congressional oversight.

That Congregate Housing Services Program continues to date and has allowed 270 residents to remain in their homes while receiving — services such as meals, housekeeping, laundry services, transportation to and from medical appointments and personal care. These services are enhanced by the LHA Home Health Agency which was created in 2002 and by the on-going desire to provide more than ‘a roof over their heads’ for LHA residents. During the past five years as executive director, DuBois has concentrated her efforts on re-organization within the authority while ensuring that the $25-million in housing stock is in good condition and administered according to HUD rules and regulations. For the health and safety of residents, visitors and LHA employees, BuBois implemented a “Smoke-Free” policy and, as of August 1, 2010, all LHA properties are ‘Smoke-Free’. She also revamped LHA’s web page (www. laconiahousing.org) that reaches families throughout the region and is a contact point for family members in other parts of the country requesting information about LHA programs.

LACONIA — Charlotte DuBois has retired following a 22-year career with the Laconia Housing Authority (LHA). For past five years she has served as the organization’s executive director. “It has been a wonderful yet challenging 22 years, with the major challenges centering around funding issues”, said DuBois. “There continues to be no long-term solution from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for additional funding to meet the needs of these valuable programs within the Lakes Region. However, LHA board chair Bob Harrington noted that, “as a result of the strong guidance provided by Charlotte DuBois, the Laconia Housing Authority is in a good position to continue meeting the needs of the elderly and disabled individuals and families we serve.” DuBois joined the LHA team as a part-time employee in 1989 to develop a Supportive Services Program; one of the first in the state. The goal of this new housing position was to take housing to another level, beyond the bricks and mortar, where services would be provided so that residents could live independently longer and

Man in the middle The usual rule in politics is that if both extremes are mad at you, then you must be doing something right — or at least something politically smart. Ultimately, elections are won in the middle, and if the middle is with you, you win. In November, that is. But this is June, and what would be a very good place to be four or five months down the line might feel like a tight spot, between a rock and a hard place, right now. That’s where President Obama finds himself these days on national security. The left, or some pretty vocal parts of it, is fit to be tied that their president is keeping real “enemies lists” in the White House — and not lists of people to be stiffed on goodies or even, wrong as it is, to be investigated by the IRS, but to be killed. That the targets are not Pentagon analysts or nosy reporters but enemy combatants, as the past administration would put it, doesn’t change the dearly held principle that we don’t target people for assassination — or at least that we don’t do it unilaterally. The right, or some pretty vocal parts of it, is up in arms about what they say are politically motivated leaks from the White House that are damaging to national security (including said enemies list), with Sen. John McCain calling for investigations and special prosecutors and the whole nine yards because our enemies also read the papers. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has gone so far as to warn that Israel should be prepared to go it alone against Iran because the White House would leak any details of a planned strike. There are certainly common sense answers to both sides, with which most Americans in the middle would probably agree. As for the left, the obvious answer is that if the president can deploy forces across the globe armed with weapons and bombs and the like, it’s not clear why he can’t authorize drone attacks against terrorists who aim to kill us. Why not target our enemies in the hopes of reducing casualties on both sides? No one has claimed that the people who are being targeted are innocents, or that they got the wrong guys when they killed Osama bin Laden and his deputy. I’m not persuaded by the argument that these guys (who are obviously not American citizens entitled to the protection of our Constitution) deserved a day in court when their goal was to destroy the rule of law, not live by it. As for the fact that the president is doing this without approval, I’m not sure where folks want him to get that approval. Surely not Congress, if you’re worried about leaks.
From the courts? We have special “FISA” courts for the approval of wiretaps, but approving targeted assassination is definitely not in their job description. As for the conservatives, it’s not clear how the leak of the enemies list undermines us in the eyes of our enemies (and certainly not more than the Bush administration’s endorsement of water boarding). Is it a surprise that we would target the leaders of al-Qaida? Exactly what did anyone — friends or enemies — think those drones were doing heading into Pakistan? If we weren’t targeting the most dangerous guys or, worse, if the president’s people were out there touting the liberal line, I have no doubt that the radio waves would be sizzling with complaints that this president just doesn’t have what it takes to wage a war on terror. As for Israel, while there are certainly some valid concerns about the administration’s “even-handedness” in the Middle East, I don’t think leaking a secret plan to target Iran would be on any fairly compiled list. When it counts — as with the raid on bin Laden’s compound — mouths are sealed. All of this certainly could be seen as part of the skirmishing of the opening weeks of a long baseball season, almost sure to be forgotten when the real deciders — the swing voters, the moderates, the people who don’t follow politics 24/7 — tune in first for the conventions and later, when the barbecues are put away after Labor Day, for the debates. But with the economy slumping along, you can’t help but be struck by the sense that the president is out there under attack from everyone with a bullhorn (except the gay community). That doesn’t help with fundraising (Romney out-raised him last month, no doubt because the supporters of his failed opponents are catching the train as it leaves the station) or with building an organization. As the long, lazy days of summer begin, the president, whom most observers still think is likely to win this election, doesn’t look like a winner. It might be time for his supporters to start thinking about the alternative. Does anyone really think Romney would be more reticent to act unilaterally on national security? Criticism is healthy in a democracy, from friends and opponents. But there are certain times when it is less helpful than others, and now is one of them.

At the end of round two you were leaving to talk with your kitchen chair. Word on the street was you had a 50/50 chance of winning that argument. I bet on the chair. I hope you can grab your shorts and face the honest facts. That S.S. and Medicare were both designed by Democrats as forever go bankrupt Ponzi schemes is not my fault. (SAME AS OBAMACARE) That both programs are tragically insolvent is not my fault. That Democrats refuse to fix them is not my fault. That democrats demonize anyone one that wants to fix them is not my fault either, so quit blaming the messenger. It makes you look totally partisan and foolish. The fact that these two programs pay out out billions every month proves nothing. That both GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS pay out FAR MORE than than they TAKE IN is a MAJOR PROBLEM. And the difference between in and out is WELFARE. You propose no solutions. You just blow your horn and vilify those who demand action that the system be FUNDAMENTALLY overhauled for their benefit of all recipients. Start screaming at Obama he is the obstructionist. Not me. Chile 30 years ago converted to PRIVATE accounts for millions of its workers, as did three counties in Texas. The results from these places is startling. Both places prove beyond a a shred of doubt if America had gone to PRIVATE accounts with PRIVATE investments decades ago rather than investing in U.S. treasury debt funded by a pay-as-you-go Ponzi scheme, most American workers today would be getting TWICE, yes TWICE the amount of income they now receive and if they had died along the way that money would have gone to their heirs , NOT GOVERNMENT. Millions of Kool Aid addicts like Knightly do not want the foundation of the systems changed and no on could be happier than GOVERNMENT because they are the winner if they are not. The Chilean S.S. system has averaged a 9.23-percent return over the last three decades. Texas obtained similar results. Millions of retirees receive monthly S.S. checks more than TWICE the amount Americans now get at every pay scale. Before long Americans will have to work to 75 to
collect because we have the WRONG FOUNDATION and the WRONG rate of RETURN on those assets. There are three basic problems: 1. Americans are not being forced to contribute through withholding enough to pay for their actual benefits. (In fact the current payroll tax cut to 10.4-percent from the required 12.4-percent makes both programs even more WELFARE) 2. Both S.S. and Medicare should be MEANS tested. The wealthy should NOT BE ELIGIBLE for either benefit. Democrats cannot wait to call for increasing taxes on the wealthy but you never hear a ONE word about stopping the rich from getting endless billions in S.S. checks or Medicare benefits. Why? Because it confirms 100-percent the allegation Republicans have been making for years, that both programs are in good part WELFARE. Means testing would remove any pretense that it isn’t. Lets just stop sending S.S. checks to Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and stop paying their medical benefits. They simply do not need our help even though they paid in. Give the money to those that do need help. This logic is beyond the brain of a Democrat to comprehend. 3. The money should be in private accounts with your name on it. Invested by a consortium of insurance companies (with guaranteed minimum returns) in the stock markets and bond markets converted to a lifetime annuity that guarantees every retirees monthly income for life. Every American becomes an investor in his own nation. He becomes a stakeholder in America. How else can we make people stakeholders when 50-percent of Americans pay no income taxes and Democrats want even more to pay NONE under the welfare tent of their fantasy. Investment long term in productive and innovative American companies means larger S.S. checks for every American and America is the most productive country (company) on earth. Let the masses benefit from this fact just as millions have in Chile and Texas. When someone says Republicans want to change “S.S. as we know it “ you bet your sweet you know what we do. We want you to get DOUBLE what you now get because government is screwing you over and you are not even having the pleasure to feel it. Tony Boutin Gilford
Legion will again honor our flag on Flag Day: Thursday, June 14 To the editor, I just read with interest the article regarding the Elks conducting the only Flag Day ceremonies in this country. I wish to thank the Elks for honoring our flag. However, for the 28 years that I have been a member of the American Legion, Post 1 has conducted such ceremonies and always on June 14th. Many of the Elks participants have been asked in years past to participate in our ceremonies. Also many organizations send their worn flags to us because we
still dispose of them by burning them during the ceremony. I believe that Post 49 in Tilton still conducts their ceremony at the State Veterans Home in order that the residents there can participate. Our ceremony will take place, once again at the post home on Thursday, June 14 at 6 p.m. in the parking lot. Earlon Beale Adjutant Post 1 American Legion Laconia

LETTERS Water generated electricity will always be our safety net
Equal pay issue isn’t about gender, it’s about performance
To the editor, To the people of the North Country and John Harrigan: I am responding to the last article you wrote about the Northern Pass and water power. You are about 98-percent right and I respect you all. But about six weeks ago PSNH finally but the scrubbers in use for coal plants. This cleans the air to acceptable limits (not 100-percent, clean like water power) but this increases the bill to customers from $2 to $8 a month for every customer for this capital improvement cost. This is a stranded cost, so customers can save all the electric they want and still pay this extra cost. So much for coal. I would like now to get to the much larger problem. In the 1990s, the government passed bills to deregulate the electric companies. The deregulation forced the separation between electric distribution and electric production. This forced all of the electric companies to sell their power producing stations (a mistake!). This process started in the south and moved north. Some of the companies that bought the power stations were good and some were bad (remember Enron?). These power producing companies did NOT have to answer to the Public Service Commission in the states they ran these power houses. These companies wanted to make as much profit as they could, generally giving no thought to maintenance or the public. By the time this power station sale process got to New England, around 2000, the local governments saw it was not working well and decided to slow down the enforcement of the sale
To the editor, I read with interest the letter submitted to The Daily Sun on June 8, by Ms. Mary Rybacki. While I agree with the assumption that people should be given equal pay for equal work, I think that she and I would probably disagree with the “equal work” assumption. There are countless resources across the country that assess the nature of various jobs and establish the value for each. Employers use these resources in establishing wage guidelines for the jobs they seek to fill. Once employed however, the issue becomes how well each employee in that job classification meets, or exceeds, or fails to meet, the job standards for quality and productivity. In a strictly union shop, or in a “tenured” environment, just showing up gives you the same wage as your co-workers. Incentives get lost as there is no reward for exceeding expectations, and no penalty for not performing up to them. In non union or non tenured positions, management is able to establish a “bell curve” as they measure and rate each individual’s performance contribution. Those at the low end of the curve have failed to meet basic job requirements. The majority of the workers normally fall into the center of the bell curve as they meet job expectations. At the high end of the curve are those people who exceeded job requirements in any number of ways. In most businesses, people who meet job expectations receive the
of power production. The good part of deregulation is that consumers can shop around and buy from a cheaper company. Big electricity buyers have that option now and smaller customers will get that option soon. This process shows that we are all part of a power grid. I am saving about $15 per month at the Meredith American Legion Post through this process and am buying power from a firm in Houston, TX. The bad news of deregulation is that we are all in a grid where most of the power plants are in the control of a small number of companies that are not answering to anybody. It is only a matter of time before we have breakdowns of production leading to power shortages, all because deregulated power production no longer has to guarantee there is enough electricity for all users. This is where the water power is going to work for us. It does not break down and is clean. The producing system as currently designed can, and will, fail. The water power is a crucial safety net. I go back to a time in the 1970s, when system power controller in New England cut clear of the grid and the whole Northeast had a blackout, except New England. The water power will give us the ability to always have power. John and my friends up north, I expect feedback. Please understand that I am a former employee for a major utility and have been retired for 15 years and living in N.H. for that entire retirement. I have no incentive other than what is best for New Hampshire. Bob Kennelly Meredith
In this instance, Gilford School Board acted because 1 man asked? To the editor, So let me get this straight. . . the Gilford School Board reneges on a vote to withdraw from SAU 30 back in the late 90s and create a new district WITHOUT a superintendent. They then ignore a vote over a decade later that — with the same overwhelming margin — instructs them to operate the district according to the original plan, featuring NO superintendent. Additionally, this is the same school board that implemented all day kindergarten despite a previous year’s NO vote and continues to this day to ignore a properly submitted petitioned warrant article seeking a special district meeting to discuss the aforementioned superintendent matter. Yes, THAT school board. In an article found in The Sun this week, it was reported that the Gilford School Board received a response from their attorney answering a letter they sent inquiring whether or not they could recover court costs from a recent case — a letter “which had
been urged by a member of the public who had called the legal action “frivolous” at May’s school board meeting.” OK, I’m confused. If this group, both in its present makeup and past, can continue to so brazenly and arrogantly ignore results of elections and dismiss properly-signed petitions by the citizenry, why is it that at the mere suggestion of a known liberal taxand-spend gadfly they collapse like a house of cards and immediately run to do his bidding? Is it because this “member of the public” provided them with just the right amount of cover to pursue such a course of action? After a long history of ignoring and thwarting the will of the hapless voters and citizens of Lago... I mean Gilford, we’re to believe that they acted upon the request of a SINGLE person? As if they somehow CARED about anything but what THEY decide they want? Ri-i-i-i-i-ight! Doug Lambert Gilford
Romney should demand Republicans in Congress support equal pay To the editor, This week the Senate will vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would close loopholes that prevent women from fighting for equal pay and help stop pay discrimination before it starts. President Obama and Senate Democrats believe hard work
he’s always helped women fight for equal pay for equal work. I ask Mitt Romney, as the head of the Republican ticket in 2012, to use his influence to demand that Republicans in Congress support Paycheck Fairness Act. John S. Allen
normal “step” or “progression” raise. Those who don’t achieve basic expectations may receive a smaller amount or no raise at all. In some cases, they will be put on a remedial program or perhaps have their employment terminated. For those employees who exceed expectations, they most likely will be “ranked” as number 1, 2, 3, etc., based on how well they performed. The higher raises given to this group of people are often taken from “step” monies which were not paid to the poor performers. And, within this group of high achievers, the person’s ranking is a factor in just how much their wages will be raised, number 1 receiving more than number 2, etc. To me, the issue has little to do with a person’s gender; it has everything to do with their skills and abilities and, importantly, performance. Ms. Rybacki makes this a partisan issue as she believes the president will give everyone equal pay, and she chastises Governor Romney for not speaking out for women. The difference is that the president has no business experience, and has the lowest percentage of advisors with business experience, of any president in our history. He doesn’t seem to know any better. Governor Romney, on the other hand, has been a highly successful businessman, who knows how industry works. Let’s all agree to equal pay for equal work . . . “based on performance”. Bob Meade Laconia
More damage has been done by conformity than by nonconformity To the editor, I am responding to Sandra Coleman’s letter about the pledge. What Ms. Coleman doesn’t seem to realize is that unless we exercise our constitutional rights, we’ll never know that we really have them. So I commend Selectman Preston for not saying the pledge. He is a man after my own heart. As a world citizen, I could not pledge to any flag or any state because that would mean that I would have to give up my conscience to the state. Also, if the state were to commit immoral acts, I would not want to have sworn loyalty to it as I would be complicit in such actions.
If more people, paid less attention to flags and more attention to each other, we wouldn’t have all the problems we have today. Also, more damage has been done in the world by conformity than nonconformity. The state is a relatively new fiction that is more exclusive than inclusive. We all live on a small, fragile planet and pledging to a small patch of it will prevent us from recognizing our common humanity. I pledge allegiance to the world To cherish every living thing To care for earth and sea and air With peace and freedom everywhere Leo R. Sandy New Hampton
Fire truck pump damage was caused by failure to use inlet screen To the editor, About Gilford fire truck # 4 and needed repairs: Pat and Kevin said that it was strange that the pump impeller was in excellent condition, but the case was damaged. The reason for that is obvious: abuse by the firemen, taking water from a pond, or similar, without bothering to use a protective inlet screen. Stones picked up will follow the impeller and water flow, bouncing off the case, causing that damage. That shows failure of our make-believe fire engineers to ensure good training! I doubt if that damage can reduce effectiveness of the pump, BUT, a “repair” agent would charge outrageously, as we well know! I wonder is
the were asked by our so called “fire engineers” to also add the claim that brakes were bad? IF that was true, they are saying our fire truck drivers were useless, dangerous, didn’t even notice bad brakes! Sorry, but I can’t believe that about our firemen! I guess that Bill Akerley and gang don’t care who they insult, or how obvious their LIES are, as long as they can fool the taxpayers into giving them a shiny, totally unproven, new truck! IF the selectmen manage to sway a judge to allow totally unneeded new vote on this (at OUR expense! MORE property TAX!) we all must vote against those guys! Jack Stephenson Gilford

LETTERS We’re swimming in pot of hot water on the government stove To the editor, We should all be thankful for organizations like “The Alliance for Natural Health USA”. The Federal Trade Commission(FTA) covers health claims in advertising. Though ample evidence showed that vitamin C reduced the risk of gastric cancer and vitamin E reduced the risk of bladder cancer, this knowledge was forbidden to become public knowledge until AANH-USA took them to court and won. Also, according to AANH-USA, an administrative law judge handed down a 335 page ruling upholding the right of POM Wonderful to tell consumers about the health benefits of pomegranate juice. You can also give AANH-USA kudos for keeping nutritional supplements within our grasp. So there is hope, but the battle for freedom health information and access will continue unabated in blatant, bullying fashion by the various government agents - FDA, FTA, USDA, EPA, WHO, AMA and well, you get the idea. While antibiotics truly have been life saving for many of us, their overuse is killing more and more of us. Injury and death from thriving hospital “super bugs” are tragic beyond words. Now, a study published recently in health news articles sights the newest version of these “superbugs”. It appears that bacteria are now mutating to evade vaccines for childhood pneumonia and meningitis. The FDA is so in love with patented drugs and so indebted to the pharmaceutical giants, that they perpetuate the notion that drugs and vaccines are the magical cure for all ills. Natural antibiotics such as garlic and colloidal silver are minimized as dangerous and useless. At least until they can find a way to patent them. The mainstream medical community still largely tells patients that supplements are unnecessary as long as one eats a healthy diet. A task that is nearly impossible in this day and age of proliferating supermarkets, foreign grown food, nutrient deficient soil, proliferating GMO products, ever increasing consumption of convenience and fast foods plus a decreasing numbers of local family farms. Not to mention that our government bureaucrats still think that “grains” should still be a big, important part of our diet. People who are doing their homework are starting to realize that mercury is a deadly neurotoxin that is found in dental fillings, vaccines(especially flu shots), seafood, CFS light bulbs and now in our water supply along with another neurotoxin, fluoride. Thankfully, Tilton/Northfield Aqueduct has stopped adding fluoride into our water supply and good for them. Now we find that high fructose corn syrup which often contains low levels of mercury, depletes the body of zinc which is needed to rid the body of mercury. This just out from former FDA toxicologist and agency whistleblower, Renee Dufault. As if any of us needs more proof to stay very far away from this awful junk. Ever hear of the edible microchip? Well, Steve Gray, health care services director for Proteus Biomedical, reports that it will provide a way for
your doc to keep track of your medication consumption because you either are choosing (1) not to take it or (2) your not capable of doing it without a government bureaucrat helping you and your costing the drug companies big bucks. In Great Britain, where socialized medicine is alive and well and killing patients daily, this microchip is all but a done deal. In this country, we still have a chance if we start paying attention. This information was garnered from Dr. William Campbell Douglass, Dr. Russell Blaylock, and Dr, Joseph Mercola. James Veverka claims they are just quacks. You can believe him, thus relieving yourself of any personal responsibility, or you can look this information up. It’s not a secret, you just have to have a “healthy skepticism” about our government’s ability to make good decisions for us. And of course, keep fighting against Obamacare every chance you get unless you think socialized medicine is doing fine in Canada and Great Britain. Great Britian’s health care system is near collapse while folks in Canada flock to the beloved USA to avoid lengthy waiting lines and potential death. This letter is too negative you say. I’m happy to oblige with some positive news, though it will require some personal responsibility and an open mind. Dr Oz recently had Dr. William Li on his show. He founded the Angiogenesis Foundation in 1994.He is a believer in the “natural cancer fighting properties” of certain foods, some of which work by cutting off the blood supply that feeds cancer cells. Here are some examples: Jarlsberg cheese — lung cancer — has vitamin K2 — associated with 62-percent reduced risk; bananas — breast cancer — contains catachins (found in green tea, dark chocolate, red wine) and delphinidins (antioxidant), plus vitamin A & C — lowers risk by 40-percent; tangerines/clementines — esophageal cancer — hesperidin & naringenin — lowers risk by 42-percent; frozen squash — non-hodgkins lymphoma — lutein & zeaxanthin (carotenoids) — reduces risk by 28-percent — frozen or fresh is OK; calamari (squid) — breast cancer — reduces risk by 26-percent. Wild caught salmon is helpful as well, but has not been studied as extensively. According to clinical trials in Europe on breast and colon cancer patients, bromelain helped reduce the awful side effects of cancer and it’s treatments while reducing the toxicity of the tumors. Now according to a study published in Molecular Carcinogenesis, bromelain has shown an ability to kill cancer cells directly. This information was culled from Dr. Campbell’s newsletter. Bromelain is found in pineapples and should be eaten regularly even when not covering baked ham. A little humor from Roger Miller helps to lift my spirits from overbearing bureaucrats. “Dang me, dang me, the oughta take a rope and hang me”. Deservedly so if I let the government be. Because you see, it will gladly take care of you and me, in exchange for most of my liberty. Or perhaps from Ray Stevens’ satirical take on all those lovely pills to cure our ills: “Take the wonder drug
that cures all your ills, take Jeremiah Peabody’s polyunsaturated quick dissolving, fast acting, pleasant tasting green and purple pills”. Uh huh?! We, the citizens of this country are swimming in the pot of water located on the big government stove as it slowly becomes hotter and hotter. That warm
and fuzzy feeling you have is not the government taking care of you. It is a growing bully behemoth deciding who not only wins or loses, but who lives and dies. Anyone else besides me feeling the heat?! Russ Wiles Tilton
I will pay you $50 for a catchy slogan that promotes education To the editor, Education is vital to survival in this world. Without a diploma you are not equipped to get a good job. The current situation in N.H. of slashing education funding is a disaster. The opportunity to get an education at any level depends on there being a school and teacher available for you. The N.H. schools are currently having their funding cut by politicians who think they can attract businesses to this state if we offer low taxes. They are dead wrong. Businesses go where there is a trained, educated, and willing work force. N.H. does not have that now and is at the bottom of the list of states in their support of education. In the health care field, the top hospitals are now starting to pay their doctors on salary, which removes the incentive to order more and more treatment for those who are at the end of their natural lives. The Republicans have labelled these “Death Panels”, which is false. The Republican campaign strategy is to play to the fear emotion in the voters. In contrast to these falsehoods, the Democrats need to come up with positive slogans which are true and catchy. We aim for voters who will understand
the issues and vote for the candidates who offer a positive policy on increasing aid to education that pays for it without shifting the cost to the local communities. Here are some slogans. I will pay you $50 if you come up with a more catchy slogan for education. Email me at kmaw@metrocast.net. “Learn to Earn” a high school diploma is your key to a good paying job. “Schools to Tools” a technical school degree will give you good chance of landing a high paying job running complex machines. “Train the Brain” A community college diploma will lead to the good things in life. The current crop of Republicans in Concord have no idea of what this state really needs. Their entire slogan for the state is to lower taxes. Do you really think your children are going to have a better future if the Legislature continues in the same direction it has since the last election? You owe it to your family to fire the current Republicans, and hire the Democrats who are dedicated to improving our state education system. Kent Warner Center Harbor
Generosity of our residents & businesses led to Senior Center To the editor, Without a doubt our Senior Center in Tilton would not be open if it were not for the generosity of our residents and local businesses. Our center opened on May 10 and I would just like to say a big thank you to a few of the folks that pushed to “get things done” before the grand opening. A huge thank you to our committee members who not only helped with the desserts but spent many many hours painting, cleaning and installing items to get ready. Thank you to Kelly Sedgley of the Sign Shop, who quickly gave us our identity on the front of our building. Thank you to Tim Lang of Network Managers for donating equipment to hook our computers (donated by Northway Bank) up to the network. Now we can have our seniors check their e-mails, search the web and take lessons. Many thanks to Chief Bob Cormier and Cpl. Merek Weisensee for installing the speakers and setting up the home theater system. I hope you all noticed the pretty
flowers in front of building, certainly a welcoming site made possible by Tilton Nursery. And now as you approach our entrance, it is graced with a new “Welcome” sign made by Lois and Tom Sellew! I think I can speak for the committee when I say we are very grateful for the support the community has given us. We are open Monday, Wednesday and Fridays 10 – 1 p.m. and we have partnered with Community Action Program to take over and run the Senior Center with some great programs and meals. That will happen in the very near future. Our new number at the Senior Center is 527-8291. As you know, we depend soley on fundraising to keep our center open, if you would like to help with our wish list or would like to donate, please give us a call at Town Hall. Once again, thank you for all that have supported us and will continue that support for years to come. Pat Consentino Tilton
You are just wrong in trying to re-interpret what I wrote To the editor, I read Russ Wiles letter. I wish he had taken the time to read mine. So I will not quibble over a 3-percent difference in Russ’ assertion as to Northland Power’s “current” generating platform. Russ: “Approximately 80-percent of it’s generating capacity is fueled by natural gas.”. I wrote:”23percent of their CURRENT generat-
ing capacity comes from their wind farms. They currently have 17 projects under construction ...” “Not one of those projects is a “thermal” project.” Seventeen is a bit of along list to enumerate but 13 are solar facilities and one is a hydro plant, while the other three are additional wind farms.

2 held for alleged burglary of Tilton home TILTON — A homeless man and local woman have been charged with the burglary of a home on the west side of town last Wednesday evening, when a firearm, jewelry and digital camera were taken. Brandon Chartier, 29, described by police as homeless, was also charged with being a felon in possession of deadly weapon and held on $10,000 cash bail pending arraignment. Rhianna Frenette, 28, of Tilton, who was charged only with burglary, was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail.
By the day after the burglary police had identified the two as suspects and, with the assistance of the Northfield Police Department, located Frenette, who under questioning by Tilton detectives allegdly admitted her role in the crime. Soon afterwards police from Tilton and Northfield, with help from the New Hampshire State Police and the United States Marshall’s Fugitive Task Force, found Chartier, who faces outstanding charges in Merrimack County, in Northfield. — Gail Ober

HORSE from page 2 I’ll Have Another out of the detention barn and walked him down a path toward the barn where the colt had stayed for most of the time he had been at Belmont. Starting Wednesday, all the Belmont Stakes horses were housed in the same barn; the track said it was a security measure. “Some people have asked did the detention barn have anything to do with this. Absolutely not. Just a freakish thing,” O’Neill said. His brother Dennis said: “We’re very, very bummed out, but we’ll be back next year.” He said it was hard to tell anything was wrong just by looking at the horse. “He looks great. He’s sound. He went great this morning. He looks super (but) you just can’t take a chance. He’s too valuable of a horse and we love him to death like all of them,” he said. “You wouldn’t run a horse if you think
something might happen.” Larry Bramlage, Belmont’s on-call veterinarian, called it a “slow-healing injury.” Bramlage compared it to an Achilles tendon injury, which usually keeps a person off his feet for six weeks. “This one to the horse is nowhere near that severity,” Bramlage said, “but it takes the same amount of time to rehab it.” Bramlage said, for this horse, it would probably take a year to recover. He added that a tendon in a race horse is “more highly evolved” than anything in a human. “It’s an early injury,” Bramlage said. “If you went on and had he raced, the danger would have been a bowed tendon, meaning a significant number of fibers injured.” Other trainers sympathized with O’Neill’s plight. “I feel terrible for Doug,” said D. Wayne Lukas, who trains Belmont starter Optimizer. “To come this close and have arguably the best horse, everything being equal, you have to give him the nod as being the best horse. He’s done everything he was supposed to. He had four big ones (wins) in a row. That fifth one is tough. see next page

Firefighters from seven departments attended to a 2-alarm fire at the PCC Castings plant in Northfield on Friday. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)
FIRE from page one sounded at 11:30 a.m. because of staffing needs and for the potential for the fire to spread into the large building. Human Resource Officer Joe Shoemaker said the fire was in the waxing room and he was told that a build up of wax in one of the chimneys lead to the blaze. “We’ve had a rough few years,” he said referring to two smaller fires in a different potion of the building last year and two building fires in homes across from the plant — one of which took the life of a man. Ober said yesterday’s fire was contained to one room but “several sys-
tems were damaged” and repair to and/or replacement of some equipment could shut down that portion of the factory for several days. Ten PCC employees were evaluated at the scene for exposure to smoke but none were injured and none were taken to the hospital. Ober said no firefighters were injured and all firefighters were gone by 2 p.m. Tilton-Northfield firefighters were assisted at the scene by Franklin, Belmont, Laconia, Sanbornton, and Gilford. Concord and Belmont provided station coverage. — Gail Ober
from preceding page That’s what I’ve always said, it’s not a Triple Crown, it’s a five or six race series.” Billy Turner, who trained Seattle Slew, the 1977 Triple Crown winner, said: “When you’re in a Triple Crown campaign, and believe me, I went through it with an undefeated horse, every single day, you worry about this because one little thing can go wrong that makes the whole thing fall apart. So, you are never confident in this situation. Things like this do happen. At least the horse is going to be all right. It’s not a total tragedy.” I’ll Have Another came out of a losing effort in the Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga last September with shin problems and took the rest of the year off. He returned to racing in February, and won the Robert Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita, putting the colt firmly on the Triple Crown trail. O’Neill and Reddam immediately gave the colt two months off leading up to the Santa Anita Derby, which he won by a nose on April 12. He followed with victories in the Kentucky Derby on May 5 and the Preakness two weeks later to set up the highly anticipated Belmont Stakes and a try for the Triple Crown. But the tough 1 1-2-mile Belmont Stakes isn’t called the “Test of the Champion” for nothing. Given the slightest hint of a problem, the colt’s connections withdrew him rather than risk further injury for a shot at making history.
“It’s devastating. I thought this was going to be one of the greatest races in history, and I wanted the opportunity to be part of it,” said Dale Romans, trainer of second favorite Dullahan. “But this is bigger than that. This is terrible news.” Actually, not much has gone right for Team O’Neill, starting with the day after I’ll Have Another’s thrilling win in the Preakness. On his van ride to New York, the trip was delayed several hours because of traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike. A few days later, O’Neill was suspended 45 days and fined $15,000 by the California Horse Racing Board for a medication violation. His suspension is to begin after the Belmont. Then, racing stewards said that for the Belmont, I’ll Have Another could have to go without the nasal strip he wore in races this year, and exercise rider Jonny Garcia had visas problems and had to be replaced for several days. The scariest thing was a near collision with a loose horse on the track last week, prompted racing officials to establish a special window of time for Belmont Stakes horses to be on the track. Then there was the detention barn, ordered by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board for all the Belmont Stakes horses. It was a security measure, the board said, but the decision angered some trainers, who said moving their horses might affect their performances.

Obama catches grief for saying private sector is ‘fine’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama made Mitt Romney’s day by declaring “the private sector is doing fine” and opening himself to the accusation that he — not the rich Republican — is the one who is out of touch with reality. Obama quickly clarified his remark Friday but Republicans already had their teeth in it and weren’t letting go. “Is he really that out of touch?” GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked as Obama’s initial comments ricocheted through the presidential campaign. Seeking to head off any damage, Obama backpedaled and declared it is “absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine.” While there had been some “good momentum” in the private sector, Obama said, public sector growth lagged behind, making it imperative that Congress act on his proposals to hire more teachers and first-responders. Obama’s original six-word sentence, even if taken out of context, amounted to an unforced political error. The economy is the single biggest issue on voters’ minds and a weak spot for him, given the nation’s stubbornly high 8.2 percent unemployment rate. Nearly every day, Obama finds himself having to defend his stewardship of an economy that has struggled to recover from the 2008 economic downturn and pleading with voters to stick with him because, he says, Romney would pursue policies that led to the recession. But on Friday, Obama may have given his rival an opening. The former Massachusetts governor argued anew that Obama does not understand how to jumpstart the economy and his agenda has thwarted the recovery instead of putting millions of unemployed workers back on the job. Obama’s comments at a White House news con-

ference were reminiscent of Republican nominee John McCain’s assertion in mid-September 2008 that the “fundamentals of our economy are strong,” just as the U.S. economy was melting down. Candidate Obama seized on those comments then. Now, as president, he was getting grief along similar lines. Romney, holding a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, said Obama’s remark was “defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people.” He said the comment “is going to go down in history as an extraordinary miscalculation and misunderstanding.” But while “doing fine” is in the eye of the beholder, Obama was correct that the job picture in the private sector is brighter than in the public sector. Since the recession officially ended in June 2009, private companies have added 3.1 million jobs. Largely because of cuts at the state and local level, governments have slashed 601,000 jobs over the same period. According to the government, corporate profits have risen 58 percent since mid-2009.

reduces class size and calls for teachers to receive a 24 percent pay raise in the first year and a 5 percent pay raise in the second year. Under a new Illinois law, at least 75 percent of the district’s 25,500 teachers would have to vote in favor of a strike authorization. But Rose and several other teachers said that amid the acrimony, they’re not worried about the union reaching that threshold. The union is expected to release results next week. “I think it’s going to be in the 90s because we are very angry,” said Zulma Ortiz, a teacher at John F. Kennedy High School on the city’s southwest side. “We’re fed up.” For his part, Emanuel has said he thinks teachers do deserve a raise. He also said he believes the two sides can find “common ground” and urged teachers to wait for the fact-finder’s report, which is due in mind-July and would offer recommendations for a contract. But Emanuel has had a contentious relationship with the Chicago Teachers Union since taking office last year and tried to go around the union in his push for longer school days. The union had turned down an offer for 2 percent pay raises in exchange for lengthening the school day, so Emanuel began asking teachers at individual schools to vote to waive the union contract and add the extra 90 minutes. The Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board subsequently voted to block Emanuel’s administration from negotiating with more schools, but not before the mayor angered teachers.
Residential
CHICAGO (AP) — Angry that one promised raise disappeared and that they’re being asked to work longer days without what they consider to be an adequate pay increase, Chicago teachers are considering authorizing their first strike in a quartercentury. In a signal of their mounting anger, teachers are voting this week — before a summer of negotiations and a recommendation from an independent factfinder — on a strike that wouldn’t happen until the next school year starts. If they do authorize a strike, teachers in the nation’s third-largest school district would be leaving the final decision in the hands of union leaders. “This is a reflection of the treatment we as teachers have been subjected to this year ... that the posturing of the board of education has created such misery and suffering and discontent that we needed to send a message,” said David Rose, a teacher at Roberto Clemente Community Academy. The frustration largely centers around Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who rescinded a 4 percent raise last year and then began pushing for a longer school day. Teachers say the mayor — and now the district — have not offered them enough money to make up for the added time. Chicago Public Schools has proposed a five-year deal that guarantees teachers a 2 percent pay raise in the first year and lengthens the school day by 10 percent. The union wants a two-year deal that

Miss Pennsylvania being sued for saying Trump’s pageant was rigged PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Lawyers for the Miss Universe Organization have filed an arbitration action that seeks monetary damages from a former contestant who claims this year’s Miss USA pageant was a sham, officials said Friday. The organization filed the action with a private dispute resolution entity over the former Miss Pennsylvania USA’s claim that another contestant spotted the list of finalists on a planning sheet hours before the event was held Sunday, outside counsel Scott Balber said. A statement from the New York-based Miss Universe Organization said it is seeking remedies including monetary damages for her “ongoing defamatory statements.” Balber would not say how much money organizers are seeking. The pageant also released a statement from Miss Florida USA — the contestant Sheena Monnin claims saw the list — in which she disputes Miss Pennsylvania’s version of the events that prompted her to step down. Monnin gave up her crown Monday, claiming in a Facebook post that the pageant had been rigged, with the top five finishers selected before the show was broadcast Sunday night from Las Vegas. Pageant organizers immediately denied Monnin’s allegation and claimed she had actually stepped
down because she disagreed with the pageant’s decision to allow transgender contestants. Earlier Friday, Monnin told NBC’s “Today” show that she was standing by her claim that Miss Florida USA confided in her that she’d seen a list of finalists Sunday morning. “I know what I heard, and I know what I in turn witnessed come true based on what the contestant said she saw,” Monnin said. Monnin claimed Miss Florida USA Karina Brez named the top five contestants in the same order they were called during the broadcast. “That’s just too coincidental to not be true,” she said. But a statement released Friday by Brez disputes Monnin’s account, saying Brez was only making a joke about a list of contestants that she saw. “The list I saw didn’t even have the eventual winner on it,” the statement read. This year’s Miss USA winner was Olivia Culpo of Rhode Island. Pageant officials maintain the judging was done fairly and under the watchful eye of auditor Ernst & Young. “(The) tabulation of the judges’ votes which determined the final five contestants did not occur until after the evening gown competition had been completed,” Ernst & Young said in a statement released Friday evening.
MEREDITH from page one ing envelope. He stressed that that he sought to balance urgency and cost and arranged his recommendations among short-range, mid-range and long-range strategies deigned to ensure the preservation of the historic building. The steep, narrow, winding staircase represented the primary concern. Larson recommended making a timely decision whether to renovate or replace the staircase, estimating that it could be renovated for approximately $34,000. Alternatively, the staircase could be replaced by building a new stair tower for between $86,000 and $108,000 or sprinklers could be installed for between $36,000 and $46,000. Larson anticipated that repairing the slate roof and repointing the chimney to address the leaks would cost between $17,000 and $22,000 while moisture in all areas of concern could be addressed for less than $2,000. Apart from plumbing and electrical repairs and installing rated ceilings in the mechanical room and ceilings in the basement corridor, the remaining immediate projects are mostly cosmetic.
Selectmen Herb Vadney noted that the building, to which a three-story addition was added in 1988, is “crowding the lot” and asked how long the lbrary could operate in its existing space. Rhetta Colon, who chairs the trustees of the library, replied that while the library is a major part of the town, “it is no longer meeting the needs of the community in its current configuration.” Vadney that if repairs are necessary, they should be made, but expressed reservations about making changes to the building that would hinder its use for another public purpose should the library move to another location. Selectmen Peter Brothers agreed repairs are necessary while suggesting it was time to begin planning for the future of the library. Colon said that Jackie Bonfide, a consultant, has prepared a strategic plan for the future of the library, which she will share with the Selectboard. Meanwhile, she stressed that “the building needs lots of help no matter how it is used.” — Michael Kitch
DPW from page one past the department has used the funds to make cash purchases. However, Myers, noting that the cost of Moynihan’s highest priorities totaled $640,000 excluding the cost of demolishing two buildings and constructing another, suggested borrowing the funds and applying some of the appropriation to service the debt. He estimated that the annual principal and interest payments on a $640,000 bond with a ten-year term would be about $85,000. The balance of the annual
appropriation, he said, would be available for less expensive purchases, like a pick-up truck for $25,000 or a wood chipper for $40,000, both on Moynihan’s wish list. The councilors welcomed the suggestion, but instead of preparing a shopping list noted that the priorities could be arranged to match the preferable amount of the borrowing. For instance, Hamel remarked that purchasing just one dump truck would provide funds to construct a new salt storage building.

Full Throttle won’t be back at Heat this Bike Week but tent is up and it will be rockin’ By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Heat Pizza has a big parking lot that’s typically a hot bed of activity during Motorcycle Week and, despite the relatively last-minute decision of Full Throttle Saloon to do a show in Chicago instead of New Hampshire, the extravaganza will continue — Laconia-style. And for owner Davida Cook and Bar Manager Meghan Doptis, bringing together a project of this scale in about two months and working from scratch was no small feat. “I think the time frame was the biggest challenge we had,” said Cook who described the giant entertainment venue under the tent as a “moving machine with a million parts.” This year some of those million moving parts will include nationally known “1980s and 1990s hair band” Quiet Riot, L.S Guns (one of the precursors to Guns ‘N’ Rose) and Bang Tango. Also appearing as headline acts during the second and most popular second weekend is Aerochix — a female tribute band to Aerosmith that is gaining
national momentum and Dan Lawson, who, according to Doptis is really well known in biker circles and is very popular in Europe. But for Cook and Doptis, giving local talent a venue and local people some much needed jobs was as important as getting some big-name acts for the Friday and Saturday shows. Included in the local entertainment roster are Michael Vincent and Double Shot, Ricky and the Giants, Jam Sandwich, Roadhouse Sons, No Limitz, Tripwire, and Mindset X. Other live entertainment will be Diamond Dolls — a professional all-female tattooed professional models and dancers and entertainers from the many sponsors like Jeremiah Weed, Red Bull, Mistress Carey from WAAF, the Miller Lite Girls, the Narragansett Girls, Jaegar Girls, 3 Olive Girls and the el Jimador girls. Cook and Doptis said the Laconia Motorcycle Review Technical committee members have been very supportive — especially since Heat has made such an effort to hire local people. see next page

CAR TALK from page 2 advice. On last week’s show, a caller confessed that she had broken the clutches of some ex-boyfriends’ cars and was now worrying that she was damaging her own. “That might be the reason none of your relationships lasted,” she was told. The two men proved that public radio didn’t have to be stuffy, said Doug Berman, executive producer of the show. “Car Talk” began as a local call-in show on Boston’s BUR radio in 1977. It’s now on 660 stations across the country, with some 3.3 million listeners a week. “The guys are culturally right up there with Mark Twain and the Marx Brothers,” Berman said. “They will stand the test of time. People will still be enjoying them years from now. They’re that good.” The staff has stored and logged some 12,500 phone calls since the show began, rating them in order of their entertainment value, Berman said. They will from preceding page “I think that made a real difference to them,” Cook said noting that while Full Throttle Saloon — based in Sturgis, South Dakota — was professional and entertaining, the organization brought most of their own people with them. Doptis said she had hired nearly 70 people for a variety of roles like bartenders, security, bar stockers, booth girls and three shot girls. In the past

take the best and use them for the repurposed shows. Berman said he figured there was about eight years’ worth of strong material without the show having to repeat itself again. “I’m the producer of all their shows and I can’t remember most of” the calls, he said. “Car Talk” has tested out the repurposed show and is convinced they will work. There’s a strong wish among NPR stations to keep the show going even if there isn’t fresh material, he said. Berman said he knew the retirement was a possibility; Tom is 74. That didn’t stop Ray, 63, from mocking him. “My brother has always been workaverse,” he said. “Now, apparently, even the one hour a week is killing him.” In a goodbye message posted on their website and titled “Time to Get Even Lazier,” Tom wrote, “We’re hoping to be like ‘I Love Lucy’ and air 10 times a day on ‘NPR at Nite’ in 2075.” seven weeks, local contractors lead by carpenter Jeff Jelinik and RDH Electricians have spent countless hours designing and building the bars with much of the materials coming from discarded stuff from the former go cart tracks across the street. “We’re reusing and recycling every thing we can,” Cook said. Hours for Heat are Sunday through Tuesday form 7 p.m. on; Wednesday and Thursday from noon to closing and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. until closing. “The last Sunday day is a chill day,” Doptis said. “We’ll be open but most people will be getting out of town.” Heat is located on Rte. 3 North, across from Funspot.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A heated battle is taking place inside a giant U.S. public employees’ union following its crushing failure this week to oust Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — organized labor’s biggest political loss in decades. At stake is the direction of the 1.3-million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees after 31 years under retiring president Gerald McEntee. He’s been known for his zeal to build and maintain AFSCME’s clout as a leading liberal voice and political kingmaker in the Democratic Party. A major question is whether that should continue. Fresh off losses in the Wisconsin recall election and in California municipal referendums rolling back public employee pension and health benefits, the union will pick a successor to the 77-year-old McEntee in two weeks. The race is shaping up as a broader debate on whether AFSCME should become more prudent in doling out cash to Democratic causes and candidates and perhaps make itself less a lightning rod for attacks from conservatives. The union’s No. 2 official, secretary-treasurer and McEntee protege Lee Saunders, faces a strong challenge from Danny Donohue, the union’s leader in New York state. Donohue questions whether the union’s free-spending ways in the political arena have been effective given the pounding public see next page

from preceding page employees are taking around the country. Delegates will select their new leader June 20 at the union’s convention in Los Angeles. AFSCME has pledged to spend about $100 million this election cycle — more than any other union — to help re-elect President Barack Obama and boost other labor-friendly candidates at the federal, state and local levels. AFSCME was the biggest overall spender in the 2010 midterm elections, pouring about $93 million into races around the country. Donohue criticizes McEntee’s approach as “checkbook unionism,” saying the union has been too Washington-focused and has lost sight of the issues facing members locally. We seem to be trying to throw money at problems,” Donohue said in an interview. “Instead of writing a check, how do we galvanize our members?” “It’s just not about the Senate and the House. It’s about the governor races, the county races, who’s going to be mayor in some cities. Our enemies ... didn’t start in Washington, they started at the school board and county level,” he said The union has been hit hard in recent years, losing about 10 percent of its members since 2009, according to public filings and internal documents reviewed by The Associated Press. AFSCME claims it has 1.6 million members, but a spokesman says that includes retirees. Its most recent annual report with the U.S. Department of Labor says it had about 1,423,000 active members in 2011. That number has dropped to about 1,315,000 as of February, documents show. Saunders defends the McEntee era and says accusations the union is too focused on national politics are wrong. He said about 65 percent of the union’s political budget goes to local battles.
Strasburg Ks 13 at Nationals beat Red Sox 7-4 BOSTON (AP) — Two of baseball’s youngest stars made very memorable debuts at the game’s oldest field. Stephen Strasburg struck out 13 in six innings, Bryce Harper homered and the Washington Nationals beat the Boston Red Sox 7-4 on Friday night for the franchise’s first victory at Fenway Park. Harper admitted to being a little jittery before the game. Fenway is 100 years old this season. Harper isn’t quite 20. But he played like a veteran Friday, dusting himself off after striking out in the first inning and helping the Nationals to three-run rallies in the third and fourth innings. Strasburg also acknowledged playing in the iconic ballpark may have made him a little anxious, but he also settled down after allowing two runs in the second inning and tied his season high for strikeouts while throwing a career-high 119 pitches. “Obviously you don’t want to go out there and throw that many pitches through six innings, but sometimes they’re just going to make you work,” Strasburg said. “I knew it was up there, but I had so much adrenaline being at Fenway for the first time
it didn’t really matter.” The Montreal Expos went 0-6 at Fenway before the club moved to Washington. The Nationals were 0-3 in Boston, but Harper and Strasburg showed why Washington is in front in the NL East. “It was good to see all the young guys here rise, knowing they’re playing in one of the most historic ballparks in the game,” Strasburg said. “It’s awesome to go out there and be successful.” Harper hit a two-run shot in the fourth and an RBI single in the sixth. Strasburg (7-1) needed 33 pitches to get out of his final inning when he worked out of a one-out, basesloaded jam. He finished one strikeout shy of his career high of 14, set on June 8, 2010 — exactly two years ago to the day Friday — against Pittsburgh in his major league debut. Strasburg struck out five straight and seven of eight during a stretch from the third inning to the fifth. He gave up two runs and four hits while improving to 4-0 with a 2.74 ERA in his last four starts.
Polonious’s 3-run homer paces Muskrats to opening game win LACONIA — The Muskrats opened their third season of play in the New England Collegiate Baseball League with a 6-3 win over Sanford at Robbie Mills Field last night. Laconia shortstop John Polonius out of West Virginia University hit a 3-run homer in the fourth to pace the hitting attack. Third baseman Danny Collins also homered for the Muskrats.

Hey, it’s June! Bike week is here! Things are going to heat up now. It needs to as we have 1,318 residential listings in the twelve communities listed in this market report. That total is up about 10-percent from the 1,195 homes on the market last month and a tad higher than last June. This inventory represents an 18.5-month supply of homes on the market which is way too much. The average asking price this month stands at $493,920. Remember that is just the average which is always high due to the number of million dollar properties for sale on the lakes which bumps the number up. But don’t despair, there are 460 homes available under the $200,000 mark so there are plenty of affordable homes to choose from. This is the 89th Anniversary of the Laconia Motorcycle Week and I thought it would be fitting to see what kind of properties are available that would make suitable Hog Pens for the thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts that are about to descend on us. Harley owners are pretty particular about the properties they buy and they don’t want to keep their Hog just anywhere. The garage is the most important thing and the house is kind of an afterthought. The property doesn’t have to have a Garage Mahal, but it does need to fit the leather and chrome lifestyle. Many times you can identify a good Hog Pen because there’s already a Harley sitting in there or signs that there once was... My first choice for buyers that are born to be wild is the property at 393 Durrell Mountain Road in Belmont. I know, I know, I have picked this home several times before as being a great deal because the 30 x 50 foot heated garage with super high ceilings is just plain fantastic. The 1,800-square-foot house is immaculate and has a wonderful kitchen/family room with quartz counter tops, stainless appliances, cherry floors, wood cathedral ceilings, a hearth with a pellet stove, and is low maintenance leaving you more time to ride. Well, this place was a great deal before, but it has been reduced to $179,900 and is an absolute steal at this price. Somebody really needs to but

this home! Another slightly larger, high quality, like new home at 178 Sawyer Lake Road in Gilmanton has a similar layout, featuring the large open concept living room and kitchen combination with wood cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, granite counter tops, and a large family room in the walk out lower level. This home has an outstanding oversize two car garage with storage above. There’s plenty of room for your Harleys plus your snow machines. I know, I saw some there. This home is located in a quiet neighborhood and has beach rights to Sawyer Lake. This property is priced at $209,000. It comes with a free oil change. I also like the property at 61 Jefferson Road in Belmont as it not only has a two car under garage, it also has a detached 26 x 42 foot garage with a bathroom so you can stay out there all night. This immaculate 2,585-square-foot, three bedroom raised ranch also has an in-law apartment in the basement. You could have your buddies stay down there during the rally and charge them enough to cover your partying for the week! This house sits on a 3.55-acre country lot which you can ponder from the rocking chair on the farmer’s porch. This property is offered at $244,900 and fits the Harley lifestyle just fine. Finally, for a little bit more money, you can have a really cool garage with three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen above. This 32 x 36 foot, heated garage has 12-foot high doors, high ceilings, epoxy floors, and is nothing but top shelf. You won’t be lacking for any space and you could store the entire gang’s bikes in there. This fantastic garage comes with an equally fantastic 2,600-square-foot waterfront home and a huge boat house capable of holding two 40-foot boats. Hey, you gotta have toys! There’s 170-feet of frontage, a sandy beach, and fabulous lake views. I think this would be a great place for Arlen Ness or Paul Teutul Sr. to buy. If you don’t know who they are and what they have to do with bikes than a trip to the Weirs during Bike Week to ask someone may be in order. Anyway, this garage and the accompanying home is on the market for $1.495 million and is located at 13 see next page

Saving Our Treasured Chests: Unique auction Wednesday at Hart’s Turker Farm aids cancer victims LACONIA — A unique auction, ‘Saving Our Treasured Chests: Getting Plastered with a Purpose’, will be held Wednesday, June 13 at 5:30 p.m. at Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant in Meredith. This project, ten months in the making, has resulted in 65 magnificent pieces of art which will be up for auction to the general public during Bike Week. Event organizer and four-year breast cancer survivor Shirley Stokes has worked with many local volunteers to make this project a reality. Volunteers include 62 women and three men of all ages who may be cancer survivors, caretakers, friends/rela-

tives who participated in honor of a loved one, or simply concerned citizens who wanted to make a difference. Stokes came up with this idea after attending a torso plastering session offered by The Forest Moon Foundation in Vermont last year. As a breast cancer survivor that experience was an important part of her healing process, and she hopes to help and inspire others locally through this project, while raising funds to assist patients at LRGH who may need help with oncology-related expenses. A portion of the proceeds will go to Forest Moon. Each chest up for bid was professionally painted by local artists from the Lakes Region area and around New Hampshire. A wide range of themes will be represented at this event. Aside from working two jobs Stokes’ waking hours these past months have been spent scheduling volunteers to be plastered (working out of her small apartment kitchen in Laconia which has been converted into a studio), plastering their torsos (similar material to a cast for a broken arm), coordinating the artists who spent numerous hours painting these masterpieces, and then glazing each torso. As a final touch professional photographer Dick Shetler has photographed, free-of-charge, each completed torso for a book created by Carole Billin, which contains photos and descriptions of the busts. The Treasured Chests keepsake book will be sold at the event for $15. Preview is from 5:30-7 p.m. with a live auction starting promptly at 7 p.m. $10 suggested donation at the door. For more information contact the LRGHealthcare Office of Philanthropy: 527-7063 or philanthropy@ lrgh.org.

Gilmanton’s Greatest Views campaign enters final fund raising phase GILMANTON — When the “For Sale” sign sprouted on top of Frisky Hill on Route 107 in Gilmanton, it was hard to miss. The Gilmanton Land Trust (GLT) swung into action and negotiated an agreement with the landowner, George Twigg, III, to conserve this and three other key tracts he owns in the area. In partnership with the Gilmanton Conservation Commission and the Five Rivers Conservation Trust, GLT is asking people to join its Gilmanton’s Greatest Views—For Everyone, Forever! campaign to ensure that these lands will continue to benefit the community. For decades, the conservation of these agricultural, scenic, and historically important lands has been a stated priority in community surveys, natural resource inventories, and Town Master Plans. The total cost to preserve these special places for future generations is about $1,180,000. To date $1.030,000 has been raised through donations, grants and pledges. Left to raise: $152,000. Stop by and check out the view and pick up a brochure with detailed information or check out the website: www. Gilmantonlandtrust.org.

Weed Control diver course offered next week at Squam Lakes Association HOLDERNESS — The Squam Lakes Association (SLA) will offer a Weed Control Course on Squam next week. This course is designed to develop knowledge and skills needed to help combat variable milfoil and other exotic aquatic plants in New Hampshire. Participants will learn about control methods and how to identify, document and safely and effectively hand harvest and dispose invasive species. Variable milfoil was first found in Squam in 2000. Since that discovery, the SLA has dedicated a portion of its budget and staff time to manage various infestations in the Squam Lakes. The SLA pulled more than 2500 gallons of milfoil from the lake in 2011 and surveyed much of the lake shore for new infestations. Volunteer assistance and lake surveying through the Weed Watcher program is an important aspect of the SLA’s work with milfoil management. “This class is a great chance for folks to learn more about identifying and managing variable milfoil in New Hampshire’s lakes,” says SLA’s Ecological Manager Rebecca Hanson. “We are excited to provide this opportunity to the community, and hope to inspire a new crew of Weed Watcher volunteers on Squam.” from preceding page receive a certificate making them eligible for insurance discounts from certain insurance companies serving New Hampshire. The fee for the two day course is $12 for AARP members and $14 for others. Registration is required. To register call Bob Kennelly at 677-7187 or the Meredith Senior Center at 279-5631.
The Weed Control Class is free for all non-divers. For people who already have their Open Water Diver certification, the cost is $149. Diving participants will earn their Weed Control Diver Certification that allows them to legally handle and remove invasive aquatic species in the state of New Hampshire. The classroom portion of the course will run from 6-10 p.m. on Monday, June 11, and the field portion will follow on Tuesday, June 12, with a rain date on June 14. The SLA is located at 534 US Route 3 in Holderness, NH. Call (603) 968-7336 or email info@squamlakes.org for more information on the Weed Control Class, becoming a Weed Watcher volunteer, or to learn more about the SLA’s work in invasive plant management.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Paul Gilligan
by Darby Conley
Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis There’s a fine line between pressure and support. Those who cross that line will send you running in the other direction. Tell people how they can best help you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You could accidentally make the right choice despite the clatter of your busy mind. But it’s the decisions you make with mental clarity that will stand the test of time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your well of willpower is running low. Trying to force yourself to behave won’t work. Clever tactics are needed if you are to stick to the plan. Give yourself greater incentive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Kindred souls abound, though they seem to be in hiding. Keep looking for your tribe. You’ve seen a few that fit the profile and enough to suggest that there are many more. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll bravely move out of your element. You’re not afraid to enter tough rooms where the tension is thick and the expectations are tall. You’re bigger than the situation, and you’re just the one to break the ice. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 9). You’ll celebrate the abundance of love in your life this year. Stressful burdens will be lifted as you learn new behaviors. What happens in July is like a golden bridge to the next phase of your work. August brings new interests and curiosities. Your relationships with other generations will bring good fortune in November. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 39, 37, 28 and 18.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you tell a person no, you do so in a way that is respectful and gives hope. People appreciate your tact and resonate with your humanity. You’ll enjoy social ease. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are things you don’t do (e.g., meditate, exercise, read) because you think you don’t have the time to actually make time for you. Give it a shot! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may have moments of doubt, but rest assured, success will feel as good as you thought it would feel. So keep going so you can revel in the rush of victory. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A strong person can master others. Mastering oneself takes more than strength; it takes true power. That’s what you’re striving for, and that’s what you’ll attain. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The fewer commitments you make the better. You’ll enjoy your time more if you’re not rushing around to all the places you’re expected to be. If you must show up, arrive early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Consider that your attempts at normalcy may be unnecessary. It’s safe for you to be an individual instead of part of a mass of people. Everyone is better off when you express your uniqueness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You fully appreciate what you have and use it to your greatest advantage. Once you prove that you can maximize your existing resources, new and bigger resources will be made readily available. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, June 9, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, June 9, the 161st day of 2012. There are 205 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 9, 1972, heavy rains triggered record flooding in the Black Hills of South Dakota; the resulting disaster left at least 238 people dead and $164 million in damage. On this date: In A.D. 68, the Roman Emperor Nero committed suicide, ending a 13-year reign. In 1870, author Charles Dickens died in Gad’s Hill Place, England. In 1909, Alice Huyler Ramsey, 22, set out from New York in a Maxwell DA on a journey to become the first woman to drive across the United States. (Ramsey and three female companions arrived in San Francisco on Aug. 7.) In 1911, Carrie (sometimes spelled “Carry”) A. Nation, the hatchet-wielding temperance crusader, died in Leavenworth, Kan., at age 64. In 1940, during World War II, Norway decided to surrender to the Nazis, effective at midnight. In 1949, Georgia Neese Clark was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the first female Treasurer of the United States. In 1954, during the Senate-Army Hearings, Army special counsel Joseph N. Welch berated Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy for verbally attacking a member of Welch’s law firm, Fred Fisher, asking McCarthy: “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” In 1969, the Senate confirmed Warren Burger to be the new chief justice of the United States, succeeding Earl Warren. In 1973, Secretariat became horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner in 25 years by winning the Belmont Stakes. In 1978, leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints struck down a 148-year-old policy of excluding black men from the Mormon priesthood. In 1985, American educator Thomas Sutherland was kidnapped in Lebanon; he was released in November 1991 along with fellow hostage Terry Waite. In 1986, the Rogers Commission released its report on the Challenger disaster, criticizing NASA and rocket-builder Morton Thiokol for management problems leading to the explosion that claimed the lives of seven astronauts. One year ago: The entire top echelon of Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign resigned in a mass exodus that left his bid for the Republican nomination in tatters; the former House speaker vowed defiantly to remain a candidate. Alabama passed a tough law against illegal immigration, requiring schools to find out if students were in the country lawfully and making it a crime to knowingly give an illegal immigrant a ride. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Mona Freeman is 86. Actor Joe Santos is 81. Rock musician Jon Lord is 71. Mystery author Patricia Cornwell is 56. Actor Michael J. Fox is 51. Writer-producer Aaron Sorkin is 51. Actor Johnny Depp is 49. Actress Gloria Reuben is 48. Rock musician Dean Felber (Hootie & the Blowfish) is 45. Rock musician Dean Dinning is 45. Musician Ed Simons is 42. Country musician Shade Deggs is 38. Bluegrass singer-musician Jamie Dailey (Dailey & Vincent) is 37. Actress Michaela Conlin is 34. Actress Natalie Portman is 31. Actress Mae Whitman is 24.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am an only child who was reared by loving but extremely controlling parents. They tried to dictate my attire, my friends and my opinions. I moved away and married, but things have only gotten worse. I considered moving home to help them, as they are getting older. My husband was skeptical. He’s seen me cry from the guilt trips my parents have put on me and has heard the bigoted remarks about my mixed-race grandchildren. I found an online listing for a fixer-upper and asked my folks to see whether it was worthwhile. When we drove to my hometown, I discovered that my father was already working on the yard and dealing with a Realtor. But the place was a wreck, and the backyard pool looked like the Loch Ness monster resided there. Repairs would cost at least $50,000. I knew this wasn’t the house for me. Meanwhile, my father pointed his finger in my face and dared me to back out of the deal he had arranged. And then he said, in front of my husband, that I should buy the house myself and let my husband and kids make their own way in the world. That evening, my parents railed at me about my daughter’s mixed-race children, saying they would never be allowed to visit. They told me I needed to dump my old friends so they could introduce me to better ones. My mom was busy trying to get me jobs I didn’t want and told me I was unappreciative of their efforts. I decided that I could not live like this, and we left. My parents were furious and haven’t spoken to me in six months. My cards, gifts and emails go unanswered. I am miserable, and I know this is exactly how they want me to feel. My question is: Do I still try to be the better person and send a Father’s Day gift? -- Sad Dear Sad: Your parents sound manipulative and difficult, and we’re impressed that you turned out to be so well-adjust-
ed. You don’t owe your father a gift, but would it make you feel better to send something anyway? We suggest you handle future communications in whatever way gives you peace of mind. You have tried to please your parents and discovered that it is impossible. It’s OK to please yourself. Dear Annie: I am 31 and a never-married single mother. Along with raising a happy 5-year-old, I have a small business, and I attend school part time. I’m tired of supposed well-meaning friends implying that I should marry. They ask, “Do you want to die alone?” or “Don’t you want a father for your son?” I answer them with humor, but I don’t appreciate the questions. Please help your readers understand that it is OK not to be interested in marriage. Not everyone wants to share a bed or a bathroom or a bank account. Many of the married moms I know are unhappy, and quite a few end up raising their husbands, as well as their kids. Being single isn’t a mark of failure and doesn’t require an explanation. I understand the value society places on marriage, but what happened to the value of minding your own business? -- Parent in the Northeast Dear Northeast: Good luck with that. If the same friends keep making the same intrusive remarks, tell them politely, “I cannot imagine why you think this is your business.” It’s may be less gentle than you’d like, but it should put an end to the questions. Dear Annie: “Friend of a Young Cancer Victim” said it’s a waste to have flowers at a funeral. Flowers not only provide comfort for the bereaved, but also create jobs from growing the flowers to shipping them, providing containers for the arrangement, filler for the containers, etc. Without these beautiful arrangements, some of us would be unemployed and unable to donate to those charities she champions. -- Linda
