LACONIA — Half of the city’s original “entry” in the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series to be run on Sunday, July 15 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway hit the wall last week when A.J. Allmendinger, who was paired with five-time sprint cup champion Jimmie Johnson, was suspended after testing positive for prohibited drugs. City Manager Scott Myers confirmed yesterday that Sam Hornish, Jr. will replace Allmendinger. While Allmendinger ranked 23rd in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Standings when he was suspended, Hornish, who has failed to finish in the top 10 in his two starts on the Sprint see RaCe page 10

BELMONT — Selectmen told Fire Chief David Parenti that he can patch up the town’s existing fire boat but the purchase of a new one for about $75,000 will have to go through the traditional budget process. Parenti, on Monday, said the existing boat is a platform craft but the department can’t maneuver it easily into position for water rescues. The Belmont fire boat, said Parenti, is the only platform boat on Lake Winnisquam from which a fire can be fought although most Winnisquam communities have smaller water rescue boats that can be launched from trailers. Selectman Ron Cormier said he would like a letter to be sent from the selectmen to the other local governing bodies on Lake Winnisquam asking them to “pitch in” toward the cost of a new platform boat. “I know what the answer will be but we can still ask the question,” he said. “They can all say no but who knows.” Meanwhile Parenti said he has his team looking for a used fire boat and hopes he can save the town some money by finding one.

North Country hospitals join forces
COLEBROOK (AP) — Three hospitals have decided to work together to improve health care quality, access and affordability in northern New Hampshire. After several years of discussions, officials at Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook, Weeks Medical Center in Lancaster and Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin said Tuesday that they are creating the Northern New Hampshire Health Care Collaborative. The goal is to share services, facilities, technology and staff to improve the quality of care offered while keeping costs in check. Officials say the collaborative makes sense given that the three hospitals share similar visions and values, and that at a time when the health care industry is changing quickly, it’s better to work together than go it alone.

Penn State’s report on sex-abuse scandal due Thursday STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A potentially explosive report into whether football coach Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials took steps to conceal that former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was a child molester will be released Thursday — online for all to see, officials said Tuesday. Attorneys for the university’s deposed president, meanwhile, broke a monthslong silence and denied suggestions that Graham Spanier participated in a cover-up with the
image of Penn State and its powerful and lucrative football program at stake. The internal report by former FBI chief Louis Freeh is expected to reveal how the university treated Sandusky, Paterno’s onetime heir apparent, after top administrators fielded complaints about his encounters with young boys more than a decade ago. It is also expected to cast light on how the Hall of Fame coach, who died in January, exerted control over the football program while Sandusky worked under him and after San-
dusky retired from coaching. And the report could influence how Paterno is remembered while affecting an ongoing NCAA probe into the school’s conduct and the criminal cases against two Penn State administrators. Freeh’s spokesman said the report will be published online at 9 a.m. Thursday. Investigators will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. in Philadelphia to discuss its findings and recommendations.

Obama targets Romney’s private finances, suggesting he’s hiding something WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama election campaign has a politically loaded question it wants voters to think about: What is Mitt Romney hiding? Not a thing, Romney says. The Democrats are just trying to change the subject from the weak economy. It’s a newly intense back-and-forth as President Barack Obama’s campaign team tries to cast his Republican opponent as a secretive rich guy who keeps his money in
offshore accounts and refuses to release more of his tax returns. The coordinated push, which includes stinging criticism from Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, web videos and television advertisements, comes as the Democrats grasp for ways to gain an advantage in a closely contested election and overcome a steady stream of lackluster economic news. Getting personal, Biden declared Tuesday
that Romney was “making a lie of the old adage, like father, like son” by not meeting the standards his father, George Romney, set when he released 12 years of tax returns during his 1968 presidential bid. In a speech to Hispanic leaders in Las Vegas, Biden said of Romney: “He wants you to show your papers, but he won’t show us his.” It was a criticism that hit both Romney’s financial reticence and his supsee CAMPAIGN page 6
FULTS, Ill. (AP) — As he watched his 10-year-old son ease a tractor across a soybean field, Dennis Mosbacher acknowledged the risks of farming. But Mosbacher said the U.S. Labor Department was misguided in its attempts to protect children from farm accidents and he’s relieved the agency dropped its
plans this spring and has promised not to take up the matter again. “You can’t make a rule to stop every accident,” Mosbacher said after his son Jacob hopped off the 40-year-old, 60-horsepower tractor at their farm near the tiny southern Illinois town of Fults. “There’s always a risk in life, no matter what you do.”
Labor Department officials don’t deny that, but they note that children performing farm work are four times more likely to be killed than those employed in all other industries combined. Under the Labor Department’s failed proposal, paid farm workers would have see FARM page 10

Why rich conservative play in liberal enclaves The weekend’s memorable photo is of Mitt Romney driving his massive powerboat past a privately built castle, not unlike his own, on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee. On Sunday, he moseyed across the Long Island Sound to the beachy pleasure dome of billionaire conservative David Koch, in Southampton, N.Y. — for a $75,000-a-couple dinner to raise money from likeminded Republicans. Not far away, Koch’s brother Bill, a fellow funder of conservative causes, holds court in the exclusive waterfront enclave of Osterville, on Cape Cod. The brothers’ family business, based far away in Wichita, Kan., is a notoriously careless emitter of toxic wastes. The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts ranks Koch Industries as America’s 10th worst air polluter. Thus, not a few eyes roll as Bill continues to lead the long fight against a planned wind farm off Osterville’s shore. You understand, it would mar the alleged environmental perfection of the waters in which he sails. The region’s choice corners are chock-a-block with rich Democrats, too, but it is politically their natural habitat. Why do conservatives from elsewhere hang out in places that tax and regulate and do all kinds of other mean things to rich people like themselves? The reason is that these are nice places, and they are that way precisely because they tax and regulate. And these guys know it. If cooler summers were all they craved, they’d be partying in Upper Wisconsin. A libertarian friend, a journalist from Texas, once told me she’d like to live in a nice, preserved New England village, but no one there would buy her politics. I told her that if the region bought her politics, the village wouldn’t be nice and preserved. Google the words “McDonald’s” and “Osterville,” and the first link is “Places for McDonald’s near Osterville,” not “in Osterville.” The West’s libertarian ethic is a beautiful thing when it comes to letting folks get fat, smoke pot or oth-
erwise conduct their lives in peace. But the belief that a man can do anything he wants on his land often leads to destroyed environments. New England had a piece of environmental good luck when America’s boundaries started expanding. The land was useless from an extractive-industry point of view. Little gas, little coal. Ditto gold, silver and other metals. At the first opportunity, even farmers fled the rocky soil for the fertile Midwest. And so the Yankees had to switch to plan B. They built factories, using river power, until put out of business by cheaper energy and labor elsewhere. This was at bottom a knowledge economy that continues to this day. The modern version relies on universities to churn out computer, biotech and other inventors of new businesses. Another part of plan B was to become financiers to the national economy. As investors, New Englanders fanned across the country extracting riches from other regions. They did mining, oil drilling, railroad building. How their activities harmed these other environments was, in most cases, the last thing on their minds. They made sure that their kids attended prized schools back East and that they themselves would not spend their summers near an open pit mine in southern Arizona. They came home to the fresher breezes and charming villages of the Northeast. And the rich from other regions joined them for the summer party. It’s one thing to pollute other areas. It’s another to despoil where one goes for recreation. It’s animal nature not to dirty one’s own nest. Wherever the well heeled — no matter how freedom-loving they profess to be — go to play, you can be sure of one thing: The place will be zoned to its teeth.

Letter was anti-semitic; there’s never been country called Palestine To the editor, Just a quick note to voice my displeasure with the anti-semitic, onesided, agenda-driven letter from Janet Simmon in Saturday’s Daily Sun. Her first paragraph destroyed any credibility she may have on Israel. THERE IS NOT, NOR HAS THERE EVER BEEN A COUNTRY CALLED PALESTINE. What Janet perhaps is saying is that she was easily and completely brainwashed by anti-Israel
propaganda by pro-Muslim forces. Next she will be telling us California, Arizona and New Mexico and Texas have laws that are upheld according to whether you are a citizen of the U.S. and the poor Mexicans were so nice to her, but the states citizens won’t share with them, PLEASE!

LETTERS Our government doesn’t exist to enforce your religious ideals To the editor, While the subject of marriage between same-sex couples makes the rounds around the nation, conservative, anti-gay organizations in the media have increased their efforts to convince the public that same-sex marriage is morally contemptible. Groups such as the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) have saturated media outlets with their condemnation of same-sex marriage and gay rights, advocating for the legislative enforcement of traditional, Christian values in America. One television advertisement created by NOM went so far as to claim that homosexuals want to take away our freedoms and interfere in our lives. The self-entitled “Coming Storm” commercial describes marriage between same-sex couples as a dark force that, unless stopped, will destroy everything we once held dear. This commercial, and others like it, are prime examples of the idiotic, fear mongering rhetoric used to distort the true intentions of American citizens who want nothing more than to have the same basic human rights that everyone else in this country is afforded. I am astounded when I hear someone support a bill or a law because “the Bible says so,” and I am perplexed when I hear someone respond to an equal-rights advocate with the words, “That’s not what God would want.” I myself am a devout Christian, but I also recognize that we live in a country in which the separation of church and state is a fundamental part of our government. Bringing your theology into our legislative system isn’t just wrong, it’s un-American. The beliefs of one religion should not be forced upon the rest of society. Just because
your church does not allow same-sex marriage does not mean that our government can’t allow it. Each of these groups makes no attempt to hide the fact that their primary objective is to enforce Christian faith, ideals, and the Bible upon all Americans (be they Christian or not). Those against same-sex marriage often claim that gay-rights advocates would like to force us all to accept their views. They say that gays and lesbians don’t have a right to redefine marriage for the rest of us; they don’t have a right to force us to accept their beliefs. And yet, these same individuals want to alter our Constitution to specify that marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman, in accordance with Christian theology. Their intention is to legally force all Americans—regardless of their beliefs—to accept their religiously-based view of marriage. The word “hypocrite” is too kind to describe what they’re doing. Let’s be honest: gays and lesbians don’t need you to accept their lifestyle. However, they do need you to accept their inalienable right as American citizens, under the United States Constitution, to get married just like anybody else, to have full access to their hospitalized loved ones just like anybody else, and — dare I say it — to be able to file a joint tax return just like anybody else. It’s not a question of theology; it’s a question of basic civil rights. If you have a problem with homosexuality, that’s fine. If you don’t agree that homosexuals should be allowed to get married, good for you. You are entitled to your opinion, but remember that our government does not exist to enforce your religious ideals.

LETTERS Our government wasn’t established to make decisions for us To the editor, There isn’t much to say about ‘free will’ that hasn’t already been said; the meaning of liberty also has been hashed over enough as well. As far as what is happening today being a fight over free will, I’d have to say it isn’t, it isn’t because free will isn’t free. Never will be. Liberty is not free will, liberty is the freedom to do “whatever”, so long as it doesn’t deprive others of the same. Free will isn’t free, as given via religious doctrine through Christianity, it says we are free to go to hell if we choose to. Other religions are not so generous as to even allow that. The doctrine of predetermination argues that will and especially free will is non-existent. As to the liberty we so cherish in our nation, it has its downside, such is the late sixties and seventies generations creation of today’s world. The individuals liberties being of greater concern than the societies to such an extent that pedophiles knowingly roam free and the savage hacking death of another doesn’t merit the death penalty. I have written previously about conscience; I was once, back in the midseventies, given an opportunity to speak to an English class about some poetry. I was never invited back; the importance of conscience was central to my theme. Conscience speaks of individual responsibility, the opposite of what is termed by Freud as the “Id”.
We all know what we wouldn’t want done to ourselves; we know what we’d want another to do. As much as may be and has been said, we are after all imperfect to say the least, our conscience may be our only saving grace. Aside from the discussion it is a reality that this state and the nation it became a part of was founded on the belief that the people collectively and the individual are capable of governing themselves. The N.H. Constitution, which predates the federal Constitution, specifically states that our right of conscience can’t be taken from us by our government (read its first four articles). The federal Constitution isn’t given authority to do so and states that the authority and rights it isn’t given remain with the states and the people (Amendments 9 & 10). Our nation was founded on the individuals right to make decisions for themselves, laws of the land may and ought to prosecute bad decisions but government wasn’t established to make our decisions for us. Again I’d say that cherry picking juries and forcing citizens to make life altering decisions of another against their conscience, as well as government deciding for me that I can’t purchase a burrito from a business willing to sell it to me is not the government of this state or nation as intended.

Please put your arguments in language we can all understand To the editor, I would like to commend every one of you who take the time to carefully think out and write about all the politics going on around here and in the country. It’s wonderful that you present options and conditions to us as you see it. I have long been a reader of The Sun, even when living in Connecticut, and now that I am home I need to learn more about what is going on around me. So, I have a request. Many times so many of you get so excited and wrapped up in the statistical events surrounding a concern that when you start citing each and every one, you start to lose some or most of your audience. Myself included. Sometimes the “rant” or “discussion” goes on so long and gets so convoluted that we lose interest. I KNOW you all have so many enlightening things to say and
bring to the table and most of it is so important, all I ask is please, put it in language we ALL understand, cite a FEW statistics, and cut to the chase. If people want to know the “whole enchilada” you’ve signed the letter and they are able to either talk to you in person or write their own letter to get more information. I know at times I end up getting so confused and don’t know which way is up anymore after trying to get through your letters that I often have a rough time trying to understand the concern in the first place. I apologize if I have offended anyone, that was not my intention. It was only so that I may get more of a concrete understanding of what’s going on and how to deal with it in a concise manner.

When compared to incompetence, stupidity can be a virtue To the editor, Incompetence is a derogatory word used to express lack of ability. Most of us are incompetent in many ways and we are virtuous enough to admit it. I’m horrible at fixing things around the house. I’m clueless when it comes to from preceding page and cannot understand why there are still people in the United States without adequate health care. This is very selfish on our part. There is a saying in the Bible that goes this way: “whatever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me”. Sound familiar? Bernadette Loesch Laconia
understanding even simple algebra. I could go on and on. The key to all of this is being smart enough to not inflict our incompetence on others. Just once, I’d like a president to admit that he didn’t have the answer to fixing the economy. Just once, I’d like a teacher to admit they lacked the ability to teach and the students were being harmed because of it. Just once, I’d like an incompetent doctor to find another occupation and in doing so save lives. The real tragedy is that most incompetent people in a position of responsibility are too arrogant and selfish to admit it. They would rather have others suffer. For those involved in government, does this sound like you? Tom Becker Laconia

Residents buy Ashland trailer park ASHLAND — Residents of the 25 unit Whispering Pines Mobile Home Park recently purchased their community, making it New Hampshire’s 101st resident-owned manufacturedhousing community. Using funding, education and technical assistance and training from the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, residents organized and formed the Rural Bend Cooperative, Inc. in May 2009 in order to convert the park to resident ownership. At the time, the residents thought the asking price was too high, but this spring the cooperative negotiated with park owners Harold and Jeanne Miner for the purchase price of $500,000. The deal was signed June 14, with financing from Meredith Village Savings Bank and the Community Loan Fund. “I am excited about us owning the park. As a cooperative, the residents control the spending and have a voice in the operations of our park. I think it’s a great move!” said Rural Bend member Roberta Thompson. Although the Community Loan Fund works in several areas to connect people and families with the loans, training and advice that allow them to buy and keep homes, have secure jobs and become economically
stable, the Concord-based organization is best known for its work in manufactured housing. Residents of parks that are not cooperatively owned usually own the building they live in, but not the land beneath it. Because of that, they miss out on most of the usual benefits of home ownership, including conventional mortgage terms, the appreciation of their home’s value and the availability of equity loans. “Residents who purchase and run their communities are protected against excessive rent hikes and park closures, and often feel greater pride and investment in their homes and surroundings,” says Community Loan Fund President Juliana Eades. The Community Loan Fund helped convert its first park in Meredith in 1984. Since then, its cooperative assistance team has developed a conversion strategy, an annual leadership program, a bi-annual conference and a management guide for cooperatives. Its strategy is now being applied nationally by a spinoff organization, ROC USA. A full list of resident-owned cooperatives in New Hampshire is available at http://www.communityloanfund.org/ how-we-help/roc-nh/nh-cooperatives.
Gilford man takes 2 to 4 for stabbing a drug party LACONIA — A Gilford man who allegedly stabbed a man during a drug-fueled argument at a Laconia apartment building pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon. He will serve 2-to-4 years in the N.H. State Prison. Tyler Twombley, 27, of 355 Liberty Hill Road was represented by Mark Sisti. He and Asst. County Prosecutor Carley Ahern reached their agreement hours before the court was scheduled to impanel a jury on Monday morning. Twombly was initially indicted by a grand jury for one court on first degree assault, one count of second degree assault and one count of simple assault. All of these charges were not prosecuted in exchange for the guilty
plea to being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon. As a condition of his sentence, Twombly is to remain of good behavior and complete a counseling program. He was credited with 367 days of pretrial confinement. During the incident, Twombly, was shot in the torso by James McNeil, 30, of Laconia. After a three-day jury trial, McNeil was convicted on first degree assault and being a felon in possession of an dangerous weapon. He was sentenced to eight to 16 years, stand committed, on the assault and three to seven years, suspended, for being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon. — Gail Ober
CAMPAIGN from page 2 port for an Arizona immigration law that allows police to check the immigration status of people they stop. The Obama campaign also posted a video on YouTube Tuesday that asked: “How long can Romney keep information on his investments in overseas tax havens secret? And why did he do it in the first place?” Romney aides have called the barrage of attacks an “unfounded character assault” by a campaign desperate to distract attention from a sluggish economy that threatens the president’s re-election prospects. And Romney insists his private financial records contain nothing illegal. “I have followed the law,” Romney said Tuesday on Fox News. “I have paid my taxes as due. I have also disclosed through all of the requirements of the government, every asset which I own, fairly and honestly, recognizing, of course, not to do so would be not only wrong but illegal and criminal.” Still, Romney has released only a single year’s federal return — for 2010 — along with an estimate for 2011.
Other returns could contain information about accounts he has held in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, and that has created an opening for Democrats to accuse him of being secretive and taking advantage of tax loopholes that aren’t available to average Americans. “I think what’s important if you’re running for president is that the American people know who you are, what you’ve done and that you’re an open book,” Obama said Monday in a television interview. The Obama campaign says its focus on Romney’s private finances isn’t about his wealth but about whether he is gaming the system and, if so, what it says about what he would do as president to address tax loopholes. With less than four months until Election Day, Obama aides say they may run new television ads targeting Romney’s close hold on his financial records. The campaign spent more than $2 million in May on an ad titled “Swiss Bank Account” that ran in politically important Iowa, Ohio and Virginia.

PARKING from page one “Community Resource Officers” (CROs) whose duties include enforcing parking restrictions downtown. Increased enforcement in June, July and August represents a disproportionate share of the tickets issued and revenue collected during the year. In 2010, 873 tickets were written in June and July, 70 -percent of all the parking tickets issued during the year. Their presence is reflected in the revenue collected from parking fines, which averaged $35,420 a year from 2007 to 2010, but fell to $12,500 last year when there was no funding for CROs in the Police Department budget. In the 12 month period ending June 30, 2011, 1,257 parking tickets were issued while in the fiscal year just ended, without the CROs, only 536 tickets — 57-percent fewer — were issued. When the absence of the CROs became apparent in June, Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4), the liaison to the Police Commission whose ward includes much of downtown, took the initiative to ensure that funding for the positions would be restored for the fiscal year that started July 1. “They pay for themselves,” Baer said at the time, adding that the larger problem of stepping up parking enforcement throughout the remainder of the year remains. The Police Department employs three CROs who together work 58 hours a week during June, July and August at a cost of approximately $12,000. In addition to parking enforcement at The Weirs, Lakeport and
downtown, the CROs ferry police vehicles, conduct house checks and perform other similar tasks. “Enforcement should be consistent,” Myers repeated, noting that for the police it is primarily a matter of staffing and priorities and for the City Council an issue of budgeting. This year, he said, the council chose to restore funding for the CROs. After a year’s hiatus the return of the CROs in June, when they began marking tires and issuing tickets, caught some by surprise. In particular, when employees of SunDay’s Salon & Spa were ticketed for parking in two-hour spaces on New Salem Street, the owner wrote to city officials suggesting there is a shortage of all-day parking downtown. Since then Myers has been regularly checking the availability of all-day parking, beginning at the parking garage and ending on New Salem Street. After completing his tour around 11 a.m yesterday, he said that there were fewer than usual empty spaces in the parking garage, but found only four vehicles in the 19 spaces on New Salem Street. Although parking enforcement may be seasonal and sporadic, the city is aggressively collecting parking fines. City Clerk Mary Reynolds said that she receives a copy of every ticket and enters the information into the motor vehicle data base. Motorists are granted 72 hours to contest tickets with the Police Department. If the ticket is not paid within seven days, a surcharge of $5 is levied against the violator, who after 90 days receives a formal notice and perhaps a visit from the police. Reynolds said that her office will refuse to register the vehicles belonging to Laconia residents with outstanding parking tickets and that she is exploring entering reciprocal arrangements with other municipalities to withhold registration from scofflaws.
PENN STATE from page 2 versity trustees, who are meeting in Scranton on Thursday, said they will respond shortly thereafter. Paterno’s family said in a statement Tuesday that the late coach “did not cover up for Jerry Sandusky. Joe Paterno did not know that Jerry Sandusky was a pedophile. Joe Paterno did not act in any way to prevent a proper investigation of Jerry Sandusky. To claim otherwise is a distortion of the truth.” Paterno supported the decision by the board of trustees to hire Freeh to conduct a thorough investigation of the Sandusky allegations, but recent news leaks raised questions about fairness and confidentiality, the family said in the lengthy statement. They said the Freeh group turned down an offer for the family to respond to allegations after also asking to review the findings to prepare a response. The winningest coach in major college football, Paterno never got a chance to speak to the Freeh group before he died of lung cancer on Jan. 22 at age 85. “It is our firm belief that the report would be stronger and more credible if we were simply given a chance to review the findings concerning Joe Paterno in order to present the case he was never allowed to make,” the family said. Trustee Ryan McCombie — who was elected to the board this spring and was not a trustee when Paterno was fired in November — said he hoped the report took a broader look beyond Paterno “and addresses the university as a whole — and how this culture was handled or mishandled correctly — and comes to some closure on that.” “The people who loved Joe Paterno will still love him when this is over,” McCombie said. “The people who disliked him may feel they have ammunition to continue to dislike him.”

Important Discussion Priorities

Watermark buys lake front Burger King property LACONIA — Watermark Marine’s vision to expand its marine related businesses has become a reality where an eye-sore sits today. The property on upper Union Avenue, which has become known as the “Old Burger King”, has been idle for more than four years and has recently been acquired by Watermark. As a Lakes Region business that has been operating here for more than 20 years, Watermark sees this location as an opportunity to provide a critical commercial access point to the “Big Lake” (Lake Winnipesaukee) and a prime location for a retail “Ships Store”, which does not exist today. Paul Goodwin, principle of Watermark Marine Systems, started discussions with realtor Kevin Sullivan, of Weeks Commercial Real Estate, last fall, when Sullivan saw potential for the best use of this property. Sullivan approached Goodwin to draw his attention to the commercial waterfront and high-traffic Union Avenue location. Given these discussions and the exclusive opportunity for an owned commercial entry point to the “Big Lake”, Watermark entered an agreement to purchase the property and over the winter began the permitting process. “When Kevin brought this idea to me, I was excited about the prospect of having our own commercial access point to the lake,” says Goodwin, “and knowing that we will be the only marine contractor to have full-time access to the water.” The property allows Watermark to leverage their current marine construction services and expand with a retail marine “Ships Store”, opportunities that are missing in the Lakes Region today. Watermark will remodel the existing restaurant building; construct a 13-slip commercial marina with commercial launch ramp, and install a public dock for transient boaters to access the retail store. “We are looking forward to the prospects that being

on the water gives our business both short and long term,” states Goodwin, “Offering the Lakes Region a waterfront location for all marine needs and a safe harbor for our marine construction operation is an opportunity too good to pass-up.” Goodwin looks to have a “soft” opening in late 2012, with a “Grand Opening” planned for Memorial Day 2013. All permits are in-place and work will start in the near future. The new retail operation will offer boating products such as; docks, marine hardware, life jackets, mooring whips, boat lifts, swim rafts, lines, moorings, paddles, flagpoles, and other marine gear and accessories. Sullivan represented the sellers and assisted Watermark Marine in this transaction. Weeks Commercial is the only full service, commercial only, real estate office in central New Hampshire, offering commercial sales, leasing, and business brokerage services. The company has five full time agents boasting nearly 150 years of real estate experience in the Lakes Region. Sullivan, who joined the company in 2007, has personally specialized in commercial investment income properties and actively has managed many properties for the previous 20 years. Watermark was originally established in 1990 and is now two distinct marine businesses. Watermark Marine Systems, LLC and SealiteUSA, LLC. Watermark Marine Construction offers custom shorefront construction of docks, beaches, breakwaters, boathouses, etc. Their full service approach of disign, permit and construct offers clients a onestop shop for all their waterfront needs. Watermark also offers Sunstream Boatlifts, and has been recognized as the number three Sunlift dealer in the United States. Watermark is the largest marine construction company in the Lakes Region with locations in Gilford and Sunapee. For more information: www.docksource.com 603-293-4000.

I know this is not the most interesting topic; however, asking the right questions is critical if you want to successfully retire and get to the “promised land”. Let’s face it, a good Financial Advisor will ask the right questions and actually listen. Discussion Priorities should not be limited to just a few functional questions about money and insurance. Let’s look at what some of these Discussion Priorities entail: • Financial Development entails designing a financial plan with your advisor and this usually encompasses wealth accumulation, debt restructuring and finding better rates of returns. Wealth development is a process and requires that you make smart choices with your money. • Investment Strategy is, at best, very complicated and involved. Questions should be centered on investment planning, maximizing tax deferral, and balancing investment risk, in conjunction with a well thought out wealth development strategy. • Estate Organization. This is important because you will want to have the proper Estate Planning in the event that something should happen. There will be legal and documented estate distribution on file. Once again, having the proper beneficiary arrangements provides tax efficiencies and accurate estate transfer strategies. • Lifestyle Protection. I think that this discussion priority is important because a financial security review encompasses income protection (Life Insurance, Disability Income Insurance) and property casualty insurance (Homeowners Insurance, Auto etc.). Critical to the lifestyle process is Long Term Care (purchasing long-term care insurance or linked benefit insurance), and retirement planning which is different for everyone. Every Financial Advisor is a little bit different. What I do with my clients is prepare a brief, outlining what they can expect as a client at DAK Financial. I review my client’s priority issues and financial requirements, and evaluate their financial data so I can understand their individual circumstance. We hope you have a good working relationship with your financial advisor. This is just a short overview of the many discussion priorities that you may want to consider. Every financial advisor will provide different strategies. Some will charge you for their time, based in part, on the licenses they hold. (DAK Financial is paid separately by the company; our clients do not pay us directly). In terms of where you can go to check your advisors reputation, the Better Business Bureau is a good starting point. You may also check with the Department of Securities Regulation, Department of Insurance, and the National Ethics Bureau. In conclusion, make sure your advisor understands your definition of help, and listens to your discussion priorities. Dave Kutcher is certified in Long-Term Care Planning (CLTC).

GUN PLAY from page one Organizing the event were Frank Hewitt, whose Western moniker is ‘’Hermit Joe’’, and his wife, Leann, known as ‘’Tag-a-long Tess’’, a Sanbornton couple who are members of the Pemi Valley Peacemakers, a group which promotes the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) and is affiliated with the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS). Hewitt explained that this year’s shootout was sandwiched in between the state championships held in Candia the previous weekend and an upcoming regional championship which will be held in Pelham this coming weekend. ‘’It’s a lot of work to put together a three-day shoot, so we cut it back to just one day this year,’’ said Hewitt, who was riding along with his wife between the various shooting stations in a golf cart to which a wood horses’ head had been affixed and could be raised or lowered by pulling on its ‘’reins.’’ He said that he and his wife have been involved in cowboy shooting for 14 years and miss the fun that the group used to have when it took part in the Franklin Frontiers Day celebration about 10 years ago. ‘’We wish they’d bring it back. It was a lot of fun,’’ says Hewitt. Leann Hewitt says that cowboy action shooting events bring together men and women from all walks of life who share a love of the lore of the Old West and work to keep its costumes,
traditions and lore alive. Competitors shoot from a number of different stations in staged action scenes which include bank and train robberies and are scored on both their speed and accuracy at hitting targets with shotguns, rifles and both pistols. Bill Esposito of Rindge, aka ‘’Wagon Box Willy’’ said he’s in his second year of shooting. He’s a software engineer who says he saw You Tube videos Western style shooting competitions and ‘’fell in love with it.’’ He’ll take part in about 10 events this year but says he’ll be making the trips without his wife, whom he says frowns on anything involving guns. ‘’She’s not a big supporter,’’ says Esposito. That’s not the case with Barbara St. Marie of Hooksett, known as “Ruby Marie” to her fellow shooters, who joins the action shooting along with her husband, Gary, known as ‘’Lefty Canuck.’’ ‘’This is our third year. Some of my husband’s friends got us involved and we’re glad they did. Now we know that this is what we’re going to spend our retirement doing,’’ says St, Marie. Hewitt says that he and his wife have met a lot of great people through their involvement with cowboy action shooting and that there’s always lots of good times as participants play out their childhood fantasies of what the Old West was like. ‘’When we were kids we played with toy guns. The only difference is now we’re just big kids playing with real guns,’’ says Hewitt.
RACE from page one Cup circuit this season, ranks 57th, but is vying for the championship of the Nationwide Series, in which he currently ranks fourth. Driving the number 22 car for Penske Racing in Allmendinger’s place at Daytona last week, Hornish cut a tire, scraped the wall, spent 10 laps in the pitsd and finished 33rd. The Lenox Industrial Tools 301, which this year is “The Race to Benefit Education,” carries a $20,000 purse from New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the N.H. city with the winning driver. Two weeks ago representatives of all 13 cities selected paired drivers from among the top 26 in the then Sprint Cup standings. Each pairing consisted
on a driver currently ranked in the top 13 and another ranked between 14 and 26. With the third pick, Myers took Johnson and Allmendinger. In the meantime, Myers said that Johnson and Hornish will be supported on every turn around the oval by a strong contingent of city employees who will be on hand at the Loudon racetrack. Initially Jerry Gappens, executive vice-president and general manager of NHMS awarded each city 20 tickets, which Myers intended to raffle off to city employees. But, last week Gappens distributed another 200 free passes to each city, which Myers offered to employees of the city and School District. “We’ll have a good crowd on hand,” Myers said.
FARM from page one to be 16 to use power equipment, such as tractors. They would have to be 18 to work at grain elevators, silos and feedlots. The rules would not have applied to children working at farms owned by their parents, but they would have limited the paid jobs youngsters could do on their neighbors’ and relatives’ farms. John Myers, chief of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s surveillance and field investigations branch, said it’s unfortunate the agency dropped its proposal in the face of intense opposition from agricultural groups. Agency officials have said they will not take up the matter again as long as Barack Obama is president. “I have not seen any youth working in other industries that are at higher risk,” Myers said. “(Farming) may be an accepted risk for the parent, but the question is to put that risk on the child. That’s the question that’s not
“If society says you have to be 16 to operate a car, I don’t see how you can say it’s any less sound advice that you have to be 16 to operate farm equipment,” he added. “I suspect this will not be addressed again, and I suspect we will continue to have youths dying on farms each year in situations that were perfectly preventable.” The lack of action also troubles Cheryl Monen, who lives in the small northwestern Iowa community of Lester. Had such child labor rules been in place a year ago, her 17-year-old son might still be alive. Jordan Monen was into his second summer working on a cattle farm in July 2011 when he climbed into the bucket of a payloader and was hoisted up to fix the top railing on a cattle shed’s sliding door. The machine lunged forward and smashed the teen’s face between the railing and the back of the bucket. He then hit a
FairPoint extends broadband to more Lakes Region addresses MANCHESTER — More New Hampshire residents can quickly e-mail photos, download music and surf the Internet now that FairPoint Communications has expanded broadband service to approximately 380 homes and businesses in the city of Laconia and the towns of Belmont, Loudon, New Hampton and Meredith. Since April 2008, FairPoint has invested more than $179-million in the communications infrastructure and technology to bring broadband to northern New England, including building over 3,100 miles of new fiber across the region. FairPoint’s new fiber-based, high capacity network offers customers a better, faster way to communicate. “Broadband access opens doors to the world for the residents and businesses in New Hampshire and is fundamental to the state’s future economic growth,” said Pat McHugh, FairPoint’s New Hampshire state president. “Our employees are working every day to build more broadband across the state. We are pleased to announce we have expanded the avail-
ability of high-speed Internet to these additional homes and businesses in the greater Lakes Region.” This expansion is part of FairPoint’s plan to increase broadband access to 95-percent of its service areas in New Hampshire by March 2013.

Belmont beginning annual capital improvement planning process BELMONT — The Planning Board will soon begin the annual review and update of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP), which is a multi-year schedule for capital expenditures defined as projects costing in excess of $25,000 with a useful life of at least one year. The CIP, originally adopted in 2004, is updated annually in response to the actual budget appropriated by the voters at the previous Town Meeting and requests for new or amended capital projects for the upcoming six years. During this annual update the board will review capital requests from municipal departments. Members of the public are also invited to suggest needed projects by submitting a completed CIP Funding Request Form which can be obtained in the Belmont Land Use Office at the Town Hall or at http://www. belmontnh.org/data_cip.asp. The Planning Board will schedule a public hearing and once adopted the CIP is provided to the selectmen and Budget Com-
mittee for their consideration during the upcoming 2013 budget season. The CIP is a budgeting tool linking community vision from the Master Plan with the implementation of capital projects. The CIP assists the selectmen and Budget Committee in developing and presenting to the voters an overall budget which avoids unanticipated expenditures by scheduling capital projects over the term of the CIP. Historic and projected trends in revenues, expenditures and growth are evaluated along with the community’s ability to fund the cost of improvements. The projects are prioritized over the term of the 6-year plan, resulting in a more level tax rate impact. CIP Funding Request Forms with all supporting data to be considered can be submitted to the Land Use Office no later than August 18th. CIP information is available in the Land Use Office and in the Data Center at www.belmontnh.org.

A year later, his mother remains haunted about her decision to let her son take the job. “I feel so guilty about it now. I just had not put it together how terribly dangerous it was and the risks he was in,” Monen said. “I really struggle with that. Now, I really wish I never suggested he get a job.” Monen now thinks anyone younger than 18 should be barred from working on a farm “because they don’t recognize the dangers.” She also said children
shouldn’t be allowed to work on farms and ranches not owned by their parents. “If they wanna have their own kids in there, go for it,” she said. The push for tougher restrictions came at a time when fewer children are being injured on farms. For every 1,000 U.S. farms, agriculture-related injuries to workers younger than 20 dropped by nearly half from 2001 to 2009, from 13.5 injuries to 7.2 injuries, according U.S. government figures. Injuries were most common among children ages 10 to 15, but they also dropped by nearly half during that period. see next page

Where there’s smoke there’s . . . meatloaf? Meredith family’s weekend barbecue catering business has really taken off BY ADAM DRAPCHO
MEREDITH — This past weekend, like just about every other weekend for the rest of this summer, the MacDonald family of Meredith will be towing their food service trailer to a Lakes Region location, where they will serve their own interpretation of authentic, Southern-style barbecue. The family catering business, MacDaddy’s Rollin’ Smoke BBQ, is only in its second season, however, every available weekend is booked through 2012 and the family is taking reservations into 2013. Their sudden success has taken the MacDonalds by surprise, especially since it was only about seven years ago that they first began to experiment with smoked foods. The spark of inspiration came from the family’s youngest, Clarissa, who wanted her family to spend some quality time together. “Our whole business just started as a family camping trip,” Clarissa said, recalling that she spotted a small, portable smoker while shopping for camping supplies. She and her brother Sean decided to buy the smoker instead of a grill for their father, Gavin, not knowing the implications that decision would have. Gavin, who along with wife Mary holds a day job at a recycling company in Holdeness, had worked in the food service as a younger man. Enthusiasm for food is a shared trait in the MacDonald house, but prior to that camping weekend, smoking food was an unknown art. By the time the vacation was over, he was hooked on smoke. “We started experimenting with it, doing competitions,” Gavin said. He and Mary, who have since been trained as barbecue competition judges, competed in the barbecue circuit for a few years as they perfected their techniques and recipes. They cooked up the idea for a catering company over the winter of 2010-2011, as a solution to the problem of college bills. A true family business, Clarissa and Sean are part-owners of the company and use their earnings to fund their edu-
cation. Sean, who just completed his first year in Lakes Region Community College’s culinary program, has able to avoid borrowing for his education. Clarissa has a couple of high school years left, she’ll be saving for a degree in psychology or sociology. The plan has worked and their calendar is full. Surprisingly, the business has grown without help from conventional marketing. They’ve got a website — www.macdaddysrollinsmokebbq.com — but beyond that their business has grown only by word of mouth. Sated, sauce-ringed mouths. Of course, a little luck doesn’t hurt. The gigs started coming in last spring when people started finding MacDaddy’s on the Internet. One of their first jobs was catering a wedding rehearsal dinner at Bishop Farm, a hospitality establishment in Lisbon featuring a bed and breakfast, inn and cottages. The guests were impressed — including those from deep in the heart of barbecue country — and so was Bishop Farm’s wedding advisor. They’ve done subsequent events there, as well as branching out at other locations. To their surprise, nearly all of MacDaddy’s on-site catering business has been wedding-related. Mary thinks part of their popularity is due to her and Gavin’s perspective as cost-conscious parents. “As a family, with kids, doing family things, we have a real appreciation of pricing.” She thinks the economics of barbecue give MacDaddy’s an edge in the catering landscape. “We put something in your budget that might not otherwise be an option for you.” “In part, the poor economy has helped us,” explained Gavin, noting the several “backyard weddings” they’ve catered. “People are still living their lives, they’re looking for a more affordable alternative.” Their customers call them because they’re an affordable option, they refer MacDaddy’s to friends because of the relaxed, fun atmosphere that barbecue engenders. Moving out of the competition mode and into catering has afforded the MacDonalds a more fun and relaxed
from preceding page Farming groups attribute such declines to farmers’ and ranchers’ greater awareness of risks, but they add that it’s vital children begin farm work at an early age so safety requirements become engrained in them. Agriculture groups also note that rural children looking for summer jobs often have no option other than farm work and enhancing regulations could dampen kids’ enthusiasm for becoming farmers. “We’re the first to recognize that farming can be dangerous, but broad, sweeping intervention is not the best way to go about addressing it,” said Kristi Boswell, the congressional relations chief for the American Farm Bureau Federation, which opposed
the Labor Department’s push. Debbie Mosbacher said the proposed federal rules didn’t reflect the reality on farms, where children grow up understanding the dangers and are eased into risky chores. She noted that for Jacob, that meant riding on the tractor in his father’s lap when he was 4 and feeding livestock when the cattle still towered over him. Last year, he started driving the riding lawnmower. When it comes to farm kids pitching in, “a lot of times, yes, it’s a necessity,” she said. “A 10-year-old may not be able to load a 70-pound bale. But everyone’s got a job to do, and if you wait until they’re 18 to teach them it won’t be something that’s instinctive in them.”

way to approach their food. Competitive smoking has its participants reaching for an aesthetic with rigorous standards and exacting judges. For example, the meat on a rack of smoked ribs must cling tenuously to the bone, while some palates prefer a longer-smoked rib, one where gravity alone will separate bone from meat. Catering, though, allows the MacDonalds to be more creative and indulge their own tastes. As a result, their menu includes barbecue standards such as pulled pork sandwiches and beef brisket, as well as smoked chicken enchiladas, and a smoked
meatloaf that is stuffed with mozzarella, red peppers, spinach and is wrapped with a bacon lattice. MacDaddy’s is currently scheduling on-site catering into the 2013 season. Those who can’t wait that long can inquire about take-away catering or “brown-bag” options, or can visit Laconia’s Rotary Park on the evening of July 18, when MacDaddy’s will serve its cuisine while the Country Western Boys provide entertainment. Gavin said the family has been tacken aback by the response to their food. “We’re a little surprised,” he said. “It’s more than met our expectations.”

Doctor says lack of sleep led to JetBlue pilot’s breakdown LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — A psychologist testified that a JetBlue Airways pilot who screamed about religion and terrorists during a flight had “a brief psychotic disorder” due to lack of sleep, according to a transcript of the trial obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday. A judge found Clayton Osbon not guilty by reason of insanity during a brief and unpublicized trial earlier this month in Texas. Osbon had been charged with interference with a flight crew for his behavior on a March 27 flight from New York to Las Vegas. Passengers said they wrestled the pilot to the floor after he ran through the plane’s cabin yelling about Jesus and al-Qaida. The flight was diverted and safely landed in Texas. According to the court transcripts, psychologist Robert E.H. Johnson testified that Osbon’s disorder lasted about a week after the incident. Osborn, who had been taken to a mental health facility in Amarillo after the flight, could not appreciate the nature and quality of his actions and he didn’t appreciate their wrongfulness, Johnson testified. JetBlue declined to comment on the psychologist’s testimony, citing no medical authority on the topic. But company spokeswoman Sharon Jones said Osbon did not fly March 24 or March 25, and worked a round-trip flight March 26 that gave him 17 hours of off time leading into the flight March 27. The Federal Aviation Administration is still investigating, spokesman Lynn Lunsford said, adding: “It’s still too early to draw conclusions about any potential actions that might occur as the result of this incident.”
Osbon is now at a mental health facility in Fort Worth for further examination. Court records show that he is scheduled for another hearing early next month where the burden will be on him to show “by clear and convincing evidence” that his release would not pose future danger. U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson has sealed Johnson’s psychiatric evaluation and said during the trial that it would remain the sealed. According to court documents, Osbon showed up at the airport unusually late for the March 27 flight, and the plane was in midair when he eerily told his first officer they wouldn’t make it to their destination. He then started rambling about religion, the documents say. He scolded air traffic controllers to quiet down, then turned off the radios altogether and dimmed the monitors in the cockpit. He said aloud that “things just don’t matter” and encouraged his co-pilot they take a leap of faith, according to the court documents. The first officer then “became really worried,” according to a sworn affidavit from FBI agent John Whitworth. “Osbon started trying to correlate completely unrelated numbers like different radio frequencies, and he talked about sins in Las Vegas.” Osbon then left the cockpit and tensions on the plane began to escalate, according to witness accounts compiled by investigators. Osbon, described by neighbors in Georgia as tall and muscular, “aggressively” grabbed the hands of a flight attendant who confronted him and later sprinted down the cabin while being chased.
Tacoma man accidentally eats steel bristle during barbecue TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Tacoma man needed emergency surgery after accidentally eating a steel bristle from a grill brush he used during a barbecue. KING 5 reports that Adam Wojtanowicz (wohTAN-oh-witz) went to the hospital Sunday complaining of abdominal pain that wouldn’t go away despite his taking medication. Doctors found a metal bristle on a CT scan and performed surgery to get it out. Wojtanowicz says he recently hosted a cookout, and he thinks a steel bristle from his grill brush fell onto his steak. He says he apparently swallowed the metal without realizing it. The Centers for Disease Control says it knows of at least six people who have recently suffered simi-
lar, potentially fatal, injuries. It doesn’t blame a particular brand or type of brush. Wojtanowicz is expected to recover.

Big turnout expected for Antique & Classic Car Show in Sandwich SANDWICH _ Lovers of old cars, from Model Ts and Mustangs to vintage Cadillacs and Chevy pickup trucks, will be in a for a special treat when the Sixth Annual Lakes Region Antique and Classic Car Show comes to the Sandwich Fairgrounds on Saturday, July 14. Organizers are hoping for a large turnout of as many as 500 cars from all over New England for the show, which is organized by three car clubs, the Profile Auto League, the NH Lakes Region Model A Club and Granite Region Antique Automobile Club of America. “It’s one of the largest antique and classic car shows in northern New England and has become very popular since it first started,’’ says Jonathan James of Meredith, a member of both the Model A and Granite Region clubs. James says he’ll most likely bring
his 1931 Model A Roadster to the show, which last year made its debut at the Fairgrounds after having been held for its first four years at the Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough. Both spectators and participants gave the new venue, which has space to accommodate up to 600 show cars and parking for over 1,000 spectator cars, high marks for its convenience and ease of access. Registrations are running ahead of last year’s pace according to James. Featured car at the show will be a 1933 Rolls Royce which was owned originally by Doris Benz of Sandwich and Boston. The unrestored original, which had just under 34,000 miles on it when Benz passed away in 1984, is now part of the extensive collection of Bob Bahre of Alton, former owner of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. see next page

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll enjoy a wave of creativity that takes an unusual form -- or at least a form that’s unusual for you. Experimenting in this new playground will open your mind in exciting ways. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You hate to waste, but not wasting takes a great deal of preparation, which sometimes feels to you like waste. So today is mainly about choosing your battles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Hopefully you won’t mind that the action revolves around you, as it will for much of the day. You may as well relax and bask in the attention for as long as it lasts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Human nature can be compulsive. You must admit that there are certain things you do that you know will be painful and not too healthy, and yet it’s like you can’t help yourself. You’ll get to the bottom of such a behavior today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You respect everyone you meet, even those who don’t seem to respect themselves. Because you afford everyone this courtesy, you’ll be a liaison between people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to communicate. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 11). The next six weeks will be a lucrative cycle for you. You’ll excel at what you do and will be asked to teach it to someone. August brings a personal breakthrough. September brings deeper motivation for getting in shape. Reconciliations and settlements happen in November. Poetry and romance fills 2013. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 8, 23, 5 and 20.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Tired people express cranky opinions and complaints -- all of which happen to be false. Make sure the tired one isn’t you. Get enough rest and relaxation. This keeps you balanced, positive and mentally truthful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Dream about tomorrow -- and not the metaphorical tomorrow, but the actual one that will occur after midnight and for the following 24 hours. Projecting your thoughts onto that day will prepare you in an important way. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For the most part, the hardest thing about the tasks on your plate today will be starting them. But once you get past the initial hurdle, you will be well on your way to a productive experience. CANCER (June 22-July 22). With each step you take, you are closer to your goal, but that won’t matter much to you now. You will be too focused on being “here” and then “here” and then “here” to think about where you are in relation to far-off things. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Past pain can be like a virus on the hard drive of your consciousness. Until it is repaired, it will lie dormant, waiting for the right moment to erupt. Make repairs through awareness, prayer and forgiveness. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s been said that all education is self-education. The mind has to be willing to accept new information whether said mind happens to be sitting in an Ivy League classroom or cruising the Internet solo. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have so much more available to you than you ever did before. You’ve only just scratched the surface of what you can do. It will make you happy just to think about what’s next.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 11, 2012— Page 19
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, July 11, the 193rd day of 2012. There are 173 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 11, 1937, American composer and pianist George Gershwin, whose works included “Rhapsody in Blue,” ‘’Concerto in F,” ‘’An American in Paris,” and “Porgy and Bess,” died at a Los Angeles hospital of a brain tumor; he was 38. On this date: In 1767, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, was born in Braintree, Mass. In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-established by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Weehawken, N.J. In 1859, Big Ben, the great bell inside the famous London clock tower, chimed for the first time. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first incumbent chief executive to travel through the Panama Canal. In 1952, the Republican national convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and Richard M. Nixon for vice president. In 1960, the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was first published by J.B. Lippincott and Co. In 1962, American diver Fred Baldasare completed an underwater crossing of the English Channel using scuba gear, arriving in Sandwich Bay 18 hours after leaving Calais. In 1972, the World Chess Championship opened as grandmasters Bobby Fischer of the United States and defending champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union began play in Reykjavik, Iceland. (Fischer won after 21 games.) In 1979, the abandoned U.S. space station Skylab made a spectacular return to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere and showering debris over the Indian Ocean and Australia. In 1989, actor and director Laurence Olivier died in Steyning, West Sussex, England, at age 82. One year ago: Rupert Murdoch’s media empire was besieged by accusations that two more of his British newspapers engaged in hacking, deception and privacy violations. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Tab Hunter is 81. Actress Susan Seaforth Hayes is 69. Singer Jeff Hanna (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) is 65. Ventriloquistactor Jay Johnson is 63. Actor Bruce McGill is 62. Singer Bonnie Pointer is 62. Actor Stephen Lang is 60. Actress Mindy Sterling is 59. Actress Sela Ward is 56. Reggae singer Michael Rose (Black Uhuru) is 55. Singer Peter Murphy is 55.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Dayna” for eight months, and we moved in together three months ago. We fell in love from the moment we met. I’m normally a calm guy. However, two months ago I made a mistake. I went out drinking with friends and was dropped off at home so drunk that I briefly blacked out. I got into an argument with Dayna and apparently gave her a black eye. I spent a month in jail on domestic battery charges. To my surprise, she did not break up with me, although we no longer live together. We each moved back in with our parents. I know our relationship was moving too fast, but I believe in my heart that Dayna is the one for me. On the night of the incident, I had so much alcohol in my system that I’m pretty sure I would have fought with anyone who crossed my path. Currently, I am enrolled in court-ordered classes on domestic violence. Although I know I don’t deserve her anymore, Dayna is still by my side, and I feel blessed for that. I made a promise to God while in jail to put the bottle down for good. I lost my job because of it, and it could have cost me my girlfriend. I’m not that person anymore. Alcoholism runs in my family. I’m a 27-year-old collegeeducated guy who dealt with problems by drinking because that’s what my family did. I’m determined to break the cycle and have made the first step toward that goal. I see life differently now, and all I want to do is make Dayna happy again. I know it will take time, but I’m determined to make it right with her and her family. I love my girlfriend and hope to marry her one day. How do we bounce back from this horrific nightmare? -- Sad and Depressed Dear Sad: You need to rebuild Dayna’s trust. We are
glad that you acknowledge your drinking problem and have taken steps to overcome it so you don’t repeat your mistakes. Dayna needs to know that you will remain sober over the long haul, through good and bad, and this takes much more time. Find a job, get your own place, live a solid life, and prove to Dayna that you are a man she can respect. Dear Annie: I have been a widow for 12 years and am now engaged to a wonderful man. I want to invite my close friends and family to our wedding. Do I also need to invite my late husband’s brother and sisters? It would make me sad to think about my late husband with my fiance’s family there. -- Indiana Dear Indiana: If you are close to your late husband’s family, they would undoubtedly appreciate an invitation and would be hurt if you excluded them. But if you believe they would not want to come or could not enjoy themselves, it’s perfectly OK to send an announcement instead. Dear Annie: I had to respond to the letter from “New Jersey,” who is upset that her son’s girlfriend does not clear her plate or say “thank you” for gifts. Our son’s wife was exactly the same, and initially, I was equally appalled at her lack of manners. As time went on, I realized that our daughter-in-law is a sweet girl who grew up in a family where she had no modeling of these social behaviors. She simply didn’t know what was expected or required. I started asking her for help with the small tasks involved in putting on a meal, and she happily complied. Over time, she began to catch on to these social conventions. She has come a long way, and we love her for all she does to make our son happy. -- Pleased Mother-in-Law

Hidden Valley Scout Camp dining room being named for benefactors Rene and Elizabeth Gilbert GILMANTON — The Dining Hall at Hidden Valley Scout Camp, located in Gilmanton Iron Works, will be dedicated today to Rene J. and Elizabeth M. Gilbert of Gilford, for their long time support of the Scouting program in the Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America and the Griswold Scout Reservation. The Gilbert Hall dedication will take place at 5:30 p.m. followed by an evening Flag Ceremony at 5:45 p.m. Gilbert has been registered with the Boy Scouts of America for more than 50 years, serving as a Committee Chairman of Troop 68, Chartered to St. Joseph’s Parish in Laconia and later as the District Chairman of the Lakes District (serving the Greater Laconia/Gilford area) of the Daniel Webster Council. Rene later served as the Council President from 1980 to 1982 and has continued to serve as a member of the Daniel Webster Council Executive Board for more than 40 years. Additionally, Gilbert has served as a member of the Griswold Scout Reservation Properties Committee for many years, serving as its chairman for 10 years, and in doing so, provided leadership in providing financial support to many projects. “The Daniel Webster Council is very proud to recognize the Gilberts’ many years of dedication and generous support of Scouting in New Hampshire,” said K. Mark Primeau, Council President and President & CEO of Bank of New Hampshire. Gilbert has earned both the District Award of Merit and the Silver Beaver Award for his excep-
tional service to the youth of New Hampshire and the Daniel Webster Council. He was also honored as the Greater Laconia Distinguished Citizen Award in 1993, and has served as a member of this committee to this date. In his community, Gilbert has been a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, B.P.O.E (Elks Club), Knights of Columbus, and the American Legion, and has served on various boards and committees of the Salvation Army, Taylor Home, and several positions with the Laconia. He is a veteran of the US Navy. “Rene Gilbert epitomizes the values of Scouting and the Daniel Webster Council is indebted to him for his commitment of time and resources during his long and distinguished volunteer service with Scouting,” said Michael Kaufman, Scout Executive and CEO of the Daniel Webster Council. “Rene is a benefactor of Scouting in so many ways, supporting not only yearly operating costs but also contributing major gifts to capital improvement needs and the council endowment to ensure Scouting has a bright future.” Since 1929, the Daniel Webster Council has served thousands of youth in New Hampshire. The Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America is committed to building character, citizenship, and personal fitness among youth by focusing on dynamic programs of outdoor activities and leadership training. In 2011 the Daniel Webster Council served over 13,000 youth throughout the state of New Hampshire with over 550 chartered Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Varsity teams, Venture crews, Explorer posts, and Learning for Life programs.
