Man vents anger on ‘Police’ sign in front of Laconia station

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A local man with an apparent beef against the city police department decided to take out his frustrations Saturday afternoon on the cop shop sign in front of headquarters on New Salem Street.

According to affidavits submitted in N.H. 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, Daniel P. Levesque, 54, of 42 Strafford St. entered the police department main lobby around 2 p.m. and began yelling through the glass at the dispatch window.

Supervisor Sgt. Richard Simmons said he went to the dispatch window and asked Levesque what he wanted.

Simmons said Levesque told him there was a problem with the sign outsee sIGN page 11

Turnout for 4-H Fairground work party inspires confidence fair can be turned around BELMONT — Nearly 20 volunteers showed up Sunday for a work day at the Belknap County 4-H Fairgrounds, helping spruce up the grounds for the 68th annual Belknap County 4-H Fair which will be held August 13-14.

The fair’s new president, Fran Wendelboe of New Hampton, said she was encouraged by the turnout and is hoping that the fair can build on that and rekindle the enthusiasm that it needs to face its many challenges.

“We’ve got a great location and are making improvements, but there’s a lot of work to be done,’’ says Wendelboe, who came on board as president of the fair in March, replacing long-time president Wendy French of Northfield.

Wendelboe said that despite the best efforts of French, her husband, Fred, and other longtime volunteers, the Fair has “hit a bump’’ and needs to regroup and rebuild itself. see 4-H FaIR page 13

LONGVIEW, Texas (AP) — A Texas mom expected a big baby, but nothing like this: 16 pounds, 1 ounce.

Janet Johnson on Monday remained in an East Texas hospital after giving birth to what her doctors called one of the biggest newborns they’ve ever seen. She was awaiting word on whether her son, JaMichael Brown, ranked among the biggest births in state history.

“Everybody was amazed that he was so big,” Johnson, 39, said.

“I don’t think too many people have heard of having a 16-pound baby.”

JaMichael was born Friday at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview. Johnson has gestational diabetes, which results in bigger newborns for many mothers. Doctors had estimated JaMichael would be around 12 pounds prior to the cesarean birth.

The hospital has asked the state’s vital records department whether JaMichael is big enough to approach any Texas newborn records, said Victoria Ashworth, a hospital spokeswoman. He is certainly the biggest see BABY page 5

Debt talks yield little; Obama rules out stopgap fix WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and congressional leaders on Monday emerged still deeply divided over how to slash the nation’s debt, with reality sinking in that even a middleground proposal was not big enough to succeed and would not get through Congress anyway.

As time runs perilously short for action, Obama challenged top lawmakers to return to the White House on Tuesday with fresh ideas for a debt-reduction plan that could pass the House and Senate. All sides are scrambling to reach a deal as part of a tradeoff in which Congress would

agree to extend the nation’s debt limit by Aug. 2 to prevent a catastrophic government default on its bills.

Turning up the pressure, Obama declared that he would reject any stopgap extension of the nation’s borrowing limit, imploring lawmakers once again to reach one of the most sizable debt-reduction deals in years.

He refused to even entertain a backup plan if that doesn’t happen.

“We are going to get this done,” Obama insisted in a news conference.

In a 90-minute closed meeting, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spelled out

potential spending cuts that had been identified in talks led for weeks by Vice President Joe Biden. But Democratic lawmakers in the room made clear such a cutting-only approach without tax hikes on wealthier Americans would never pass the Democraticled Senate or the House, where Democratic votes would be needed, too.

It did not appear, either, that such a plan would meet the House Republicans’ own standard of a debt-cutting package. They want cuts that would exceed the size of the increase in the debt limit, which could be about $2.4 trillion to get the country see DEBT page 5

FATEHPUR, India (AP) — Railway workers began clearing the mangled wreckage of a derailed passenger train in northern India after ending a rescue operation that found 68 bodies.

Throughout Monday, anxious relatives searching for missing family members thronged to the site of Sunday’s crash as bodies wrapped in white shrouds lay in rows on the ground next to the train.

By late Monday afternoon, rescue teams had finished searching the twisted coaches

for victims and survivors and the repair work had begun amid pouring rain.

At least 239 passengers were injured when the Kalka Mail jumped the tracks near Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh state, Brij Lal, a senior state police official said.

The main government-run hospital in Fatehpur was overrun by grieving relatives searching for their kin among the injured and the dead.

“I was listening to music on the upper berth when there was a loud bang followed

by a thud. I was flung from my seat and hit my head against the side of the coach,” passenger Subajit Ghosh, 20, said at a hospital, his head swathed in bandages.

Lal said the dead included two Swedish nationals. Another Swedish passenger was injured.

Linn Duvhammar, a spokeswoman for the Swedish Foreign Ministry, said that a Swedish man in his 20s had been taken to a hospital, but she was unable to confirm see INDIA page 4

FBI agent describes Whitey Bulger’s girlfriend Victim of apparent murder-suicide in Weare as a willing companion & enabler at bail hearing was at center of political scandal in Utah last year

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A woman found dead in an apparent murder-suicide in New Hampshire was once at the center of a naked hot-tubbing scandal that led to the resignation of Utah’s House majority leader last year.

Cheryl Maher was found Sunday in a Weare, N.H., home she shared with her boyfriend, her father, Richard Maher, told The Associated Press on Monday.

New Hampshire authorities say police found the bodies of a man and woman after responding to a 911 call early Sunday morning. They say it appeared the man killed the woman.

Authorities have not released details of the crime or names of the victims, but Richard Maher confirmed his daughter was killed.

“We don’t know what to do because she’s back there and the body is with the state,” Maher said in a telephone interview from his home in Gilbert, Ariz. “We’re just here waiting.”

A telephone message for New Hampshire Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell wasn’t immediately returned Monday afternoon.

Barnstead woman & 3-year-old seriously injured in Chichester crash

CHICHESTER (AP) — New Hampshire state police say two people were seriously injured after the car they were riding in collided with a propane truck in Chichester.

Authorities say a station wagon driven by a 26-year-old woman from Barnstead crossed the center line on Route 4 Monday afternoon and hit the rear wheels of the tractor trailer truck.

The woman and her 3-year-old passenger were seriously injured.

They were flown by helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

The driver of the truck was not injured.

There was no damage to the storage container of the truck, which was carrying liquid propane, and so posed no danger to the community.

Police say the crash is still under investigation.

BOSTON (AP) — An FBI agent on Monday portrayed the longtime girlfriend of former Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger as a willing companion who changed her identity, made clandestine phone calls and moved from place to place during their years on the run together.

The testimony came during a bail hearing for Catherine Greig, who was apprehended with Bulger last month in Santa Monica, Calif., more than 16 years after Bulger fled Boston. Greig’s lawyer has asked that she be released on bail while awaiting trial, but prosecutors want her to remain behind bars.

Bulger, now 81, the former leader of the notorious Winter Hill Gang, was one of the FBI’s most-wanted fugitives. He is charged in a racketeering indictment with participating in 19 murders. Greig is charged with harboring a fugitive.

During detailed testimony Monday, FBI Special Agent Michael Carazza portrayed Greig, now 60, as a woman who fled Boston willingly with Bulger and then became an active participant in his quest to elude authorities.

Responding to questions from Assistant U.S. Attorney James Herbert, Carazza said Greig used fake identities to purchase prescription drugs for both Bulger and herself, and was seen handing him prepaid phone cards while he made secret calls from a pay phone at a Walmart store in Louisiana.

Carazza said Bulger’s former top lieutenant,

Kevin Weeks, told authorities that Bulger initially fled Boston in late 1994 with another longtime girlfriend, Teresa Stanley, but returned in early 1995 to drop her off and pick up Greig. Carazza said Greig’s twin sister, Margaret McCusker, drove Greig to a park in South Boston, where she was picked up

by Weeks, who brought her to another park, where Bulger was waiting. McCusker has offered to help get her sister released on bail by putting up her Boston home as collateral.

Carazza said Bulger and Greig used various false identities as fugitives. When the couple was captured in California, authorities found more than a dozen fake IDs. From early 1995 through late 1996, the couple spent time in Selden and Holtsville, N.Y., and Chicago, and also spent months in Grand Isles, La. During their time on the run, Carazza said, both Bulger and Greig made phone calls to friends and relatives. He said Greig called McCusker at least three times, after apparently making arrangements for McCusker to take the calls at a friend’s or neighbor’s house rather than on her home phone.

McCusker, who sat in the front row of the courtroom listening to the testimony, shook her head several times as if to disagree with Carazza’s descriptions. She was swarmed by reporters as she left the courthouse, but declined to comment. see WHITEY page 10

M’borough property owners will soon have opportunity to meet with appraisers MOULTONBOROUGH — Updated property values here are entering the last stages of being finalized for 2011. Vision Government Solutions, formerly Vision Appraisal Technology, the appraisal firm retained by the town, will shortly mail an informational letter to property owners of the town’s approximately 7,350 parcels of land which states the proposed assessed value of land and building(s) as of April 1, 2011.

Property owners may call Vision Government Solutions at 1-888-8444300 on any business day up through Tuesday, August 2, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to arrange an informal hearing to discuss these proposed values. The hearings will be held on July 27, 28, and 29, plus August 4 and 5, so property owners are encouraged to call Vision as soon as they can. Topics of discussion can include an explanation of the valuation, information on the property record card as well as the market data used to determine the proposed value.

The notices being mailed out are not tax bills, and Vision will not be able to discuss or predict the actual amount of the tax bill that will result.

Informal hearings will be by appoint-

ment only and held at the Town Hall located on 6 Holland Street. Taxpayers will also be able to schedule their meeting as a telephone conference call if they cannot physically be present on one of the five hearing days to be held.

In addition to the letter being mailed, the proposed value and property data can be accessed as of July 14 online at www.moultonboroughnh.gov (Click on Departments and Boards and then Assessor). The listing of all proposed values will also be available at the Town Hall Administration office and the Public Library during normal business hours.

INDIA from page 2 that any Swedes died.

Authorities were investigating the cause of the crash, said H.C. Joshi, a senior railway official. Newspapers reported the driver had slammed on the emergency brakes because cattle were on the tracks in front of the speeding train.

Volunteers and army soldiers worked through the night to pull the injured from the train’s 12 shattered coaches. Officials said the train was carrying about 1,000 passengers, but the exact number was not known.

By Monday evening, 46 bodies had been identified and 19 of those had been handed over to family members, Lal said.

The train was headed to Kalka, in the foothills of the Himalayas, from Howrah, a station near Kolkata in eastern India.

Train services across northern

India were disrupted. At least 62 trains were diverted to other routes and many others were canceled, said S. Mathur, a railway official.

India’s railroad network is one of the largest in the world and carries about 14 million passengers each day. Accidents are common, with most blamed on poor maintenance and human error.

Police say a militant group was suspected of triggering a bomb that derailed another train Sunday hundreds of miles (kilometers) to the northeast.

More than 50 passengers were injured, four critically, when that train derailed in Rangiya, 31 miles (50 kilometers) west of Assam’s capital, Gauhati, police said.

The Adivasi People’s Army was suspected of triggering the bomb in the remote state of Assam, said G. P. Singh, inspector-general of police.

DEBT from page 2 through 2012 and next year’s elections.

Republicans won’t support a package that raises any taxes.

As the stalemate continues, the pressure increases.

A government default could trigger another enormous economic swoon.

Democratic officials familiar with the White House position in the private talks insist that leaders of the House and Senate will not let that happen, and that Republicans ultimately would vote to raise the debt limit even if a deficit-cutting package does not come together in time.

Yet Republicans say otherwise. House Speaker John Boehner insists the House can’t pass such a bill.

“I agree with the president that the national debt limit must be raised, and I’m glad that he made the case for it today,” Boehner told reporters. “But the American people will not accept - and the House cannot pass - a bill that raises taxes on job creators.”

Obama renewed his case for a package that would put a historic dent in the country’s deficits by blending politically poisonous elements for both parties: tax hikes for the wealthy and big corporations opposed by Republicans and social service cuts that Democrats decry He implored both political parties to give ground and show the American people that Washington can actually work.

“If not now, when?”

Al Langley BC-HIS Obama said.

By all accounts,

Obama’s third meeting with House and Senate leaders in under a week produced little movement.

Cantor did most of the talking for Republicans, aides said, outlining up to $2.3 trillion in spending cuts over the upcoming decade, with $1.3 trillion coming from squeezing the day-to-day budgets of Cabinet agencies including the Pentagon.

Cantor erred on the high end of the savings range in virtually every instance. The White House countered that the cuts really added up to more like $1.7 trillion, which would leave negotiators $700 billion short of the $2.4 trillion being sought and no bipartisan way to make up the gap.

Democrats suggested that most spending cuts be concentrated in the later years of a deal, but a

Republican aide said GOP lawmakers took issue with that suggestion and want the cuts to begin right away.

Obama spent most of his time encouraging lawmakers to reconsider a bigger deal, on the order of some $4 trillion in spending cuts and tax hikes over 10 years. Democrats familiar with the talks said the meeting produced a clearer recognition that the leaders were going to have to go back and think again about how to find a compromise.

Obama has offered to entertain raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 years if Republicans make compromises, including letting tax cuts for wealthy Americans expire at the end of 2012, according to a Democratic congressional aide.

The plight of homeless vets Cathy Bentwood, a Plymouth area human rights activist, has organized a group of veterans and veteran supporters, including current and past local and state legislators, to develop a homeless shelter for New Hampshire veterans in the area. The shelter will need a minimum of 10-acres of land, hopefully donated. Federal funding will be sought to build the shelter. It is imperative that this nonpartisan project receive a great deal of support from the public. The group has met once and consists of veterans and their supporters from diverse political orientations. While many political differences may exist within this group, we are all united on the need to take care of our veterans. Even one homeless veteran is too many. I urge anyone interested in this project to lend your support by attending a meeting at Foster’s Common Man in Plymouth on Wednesday, July 20 at 7 p.m.. Our original turnout was about 25 and we’d like to at least double it.

Too often active duty soldiers and veterans get blamed for wars that they did not have a say in waging.

They trust their government not to put them in harm’s way unless absolutely necessary when all diplomatic efforts have failed and when national security is severely and imminently threatened. They believe that their government has entered a war only as the last resort.

They serve because they want to contribute to their society and protect their country from harm.

I spoke to one Vietnam Marine combat veteran who said that he would still serve even if he knew that the government would not take care of him should he receive debilitating injuries in a war. Such a selfless position is commendable but the government also knows that it can take advantage of patriotic young people. Thus, there is little motivation by the powers that be to ensure that veterans receive their proper due after they have done their duty. Too often they are used and tossed aside like a piece of garbage and turn their anger inward or toward anti-war activists.

In a previous column, I wrote that “The military is attractive to many young people who have a sense of belonging and a desire to serve their country. No one tells them about the history of the treatment of veterans or that they might get killed or maimed in a questionable war that has little to do with freedom or the defense of their country.”

It is well documented that Veterans have been treated shabbily by the government from the Revolutionary War to the present. I also noted that “Soldiers wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq were warehoused in Building 18, a rat-and roach infested satellite of the

Army’s Walter Reed Medical Center.

In addition, injured veterans have been going bankrupt and losing their homes because the Veterans Administration (V.A.) holds up their benefit checks for years on end. In 2004, 10 percent of state prisoners have had prior military service but the majority of veterans — 54-percent of state prisoners and 64-percent of federal prisoners — served during wartime. Vietnam veterans make up the preponderance of homeless veterans. One out of four homeless people are veterans.

Forty two percent of the homeless veterans served in Vietnam. Many more served during the conflict but in non combat areas. Many of these suffer from PTSD, alcohol and drug related illnesses that have not been properly addressed by the VA. The VA has claimed that PTSD has no relationship to military service.”

In a report by the National Coalition for the Homeless (http://www. nationalhomeless.org/publications/ facts/veterans.pdf), homelessness among veterans is less associated with combat experience and more to “a lack of affordable housing, declining job opportunities, and stagnating wages. Thus, in a weak economy, veterans are particularly hard hit. Homeless veterans also tend to be “white, better educated, and previously or currently married.”

The report further states that” in 1995, the VA conducted a national survey of VA homeless programs and community organizations to identify needs of homeless veterans. The survey found that longterm permanent housing, dental care, eye care, and childcare were the greatest unmet needs of homeless veterans (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 1995). Similarly, participants in a National Summit on Homelessness Among Veterans sponsored by the VA identified the top priority areas as jobs, preventing homelessness, housing, and substance abuse/mental health treatment (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 1997).”

The report concludes by saying that “in general, the needs of homeless veterans do not differ from those of other homeless people.

However there is some evidence that programs which recognize and acknowledge veteran experience may be more successful in helping homeless veterans transition into stable housing. Until serious efforts are made to address the underlying causes of homelessness, including inadequate wages, lack of affordable housing, and lack of accessible, affordable health care, the tragedy of homelessness among both veterans and non-veterans will continue to plague American communities.”

LETTERS Tenure & union contracts dilute the quality of teaching profession To the editor, Isn’t it amazing that after nearly two weeks of back and forth between two prominent professors, championing more money, benefits, tenure, so on so forth, and some of we more simple common sense conservatives who think money isn’t the problem get a bolt from the blue illuminating the issue.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, USA Today (hardly a conservative sources) report of their and the state of Georgia’s investigation claiming 178 teachers and principals conspired to cheat on students test scores saying it’s the largest of many other such reports around the country. Worse whistle blowers were subject to threats and retributions. Lets face it the losers here are once again our kids. Cheated of a quality education by adults far more interested in protecting their butts then in doing their jobs right.

Last week I inferred, no I said, that liberal thinking and ideas were responsible for the dumbing down of our public schools. Nothing could have made my point clearer then this breaking scandal.

But fear not liberal thinkers because the excuse mill is already churning

out the absolute, final and unchallengeable defense. BLAME BUSH. Of course what is more logical the the progressive mind? Don’t blame those who did the deed blame Bush. After all he was responsible for demanding all those “high risk” tests to measure if our schools and teachers were doing their jobs. How unfair!

Am I being too bombastic? Yea, I admit it, but I’m doing so to make a point. That point being that any profession that allows things like tenure or union contracts to dilute the quality and integrity of that profession deserves neither respect or the titles of professionals.

Recognizing, as I do, that the vast majority of our teachers do indeed deserve the respect and title of professional, I call on them to recognize that there is a major problem in the system.

Allowing the dumbing down of educational expectations to accommodate this group or that for whatever high sounding motive has in effect cheated and sullied your students, your co-professionals students, the schools, states and nation but most of all yourselves.

We needed stand-alone AC units for our seniors. Thank you!

To the editor, Just recently the Town of Tilton was faced with trying to find suitable air conditioning units for our seniors who live in the New Franklin Apartments. The problem all along has been an egress issue so we could not put window units in the windows for fire and safety reasons. Although we did get a temporary waiver, the selectmen and the CHAT Committee members let our community know of the need for stand-alone air conditioning units that vented out through the window but did not block it, were dripless and did not decrease the oxygen in the room while the unit was running. We found a few and they were very pricey.

That’s when our community came together. We reached out to our local businesses and they made it happen!

We have enough stand-alone air conditioning units for everyone who needs one. We are very grateful for everyone

that has contributed towards getting these air conditioners. I know at AutoServ it was a joint effort and the employees took a collection to buy a unit. Lowe’s manager, Mike, came forward and donated 10 units! Northway Bank also contributed a unit. Ryan’s Main St. Auto, MB Tractor, Mr. and Mrs. Spillman, Walmart and Fast Cash were instrumental in getting a few more units.

In times like this the word “thank you” seems so small in terms of the quality of life we have given to some people. I truly feel fortunate to work with some wonderful folks in our Town Hall and our community.

Thank you to each and everyone of you that helped us help the seniors in our town and for making it a much better way of living for them this summer.

LETTERS Phony claims about right-to-work have nothing to do with new jobs To the editor, Several recent letters praise the falsely-named “right to work” legislation as if it was the cure for all our economic problems. They seem to think it’s key to providing more jobs and to boosting the state’s economy. The reality is that this is just snake oil, and the writers keep pushing the same old falsehoods. Supporters of “right to work” (rtw) hope that if they keep repeating their tired untruths often enough, people might believe them.

Despite the false claims, no one is ever forced to join a union, or to pay union dues, in any state. That’s the plain truth. And unions still have to compete for workers. Fact: the average pay in rtw states is 6 to 8-percent lower, for all workers, union and nonunion. Fact: the states with the highest unemployment rates during the recession have been rtw states. Facts: studies of rtw states over the years show no gains in investment, productivity, growth rates or employment rates versus other states. More facts: New Hampshire’s growth rate and median income over the past 30 years have been higher than all but one of the 22 rtw states, our job growth was better than the average rtw state, our unemployment rate is lower than 19 of the 22 rtw states, and our poverty rate is one-half that of the rtw states’ average. There’s a good reason why rtw is called “right to work for less.”

The cheerleaders for rtw also shouldn’t be so quick to beat the drums for Texas and Gov. Rick (Let’s think about secession—just like Jefferson Davis) Perry. As of May, its unemployment rate was only 24th out of 50 states (which means: more unemployment as well as more jobs).

Texas is also home to the highest percentage of minimum wage workers, its per capita income is lower than that of such “liberal” states as California, and 26-percent of Texas residents have no health insurance: the highest percentage in the nation. McDonald’s and Walmart may look good compared to no job, or as a teenager’s first job, but they’re not the type of jobs that build a strong or growing economy. They’re not the type of jobs that enable workers to raise a family, buy a home, build a nest egg, provide for retirement, or achieve the American dream.

The phony claims about rtw have nothing to do with creating jobs or jump-starting the economy. They are just a camouflage for the continuing war on America’s workers and its middle class, with the attackers using unions as a scapegoat. You should also notice that when these folks attack unions they never go after the brave men and women of our police and fire departments, who are also union workers.

Ed Allard Laconia

from preceding page are especially egregious to veterans.

When public policy is aimed at eliminating universal health care, lowering the minimum wage, curtailing college loans, cutting assistance to colleges, and cutting programs that provide safety nets for our most vulnerable citizens, people need to understand that veterans are among those who suffer from these Draconian measures. These veterans put their lives and limbs on the line for the best of motivations and ask nothing in return. As someone recently said, “It’s

the system, stupid.” Veterans will fare much better when systemic change is positive, human-centered and based on ethical considerations rather than the bottom line.

In the meantime, we can at least provide a safe and clean environment for a few New Hampshire veterans by building a shelter for them. Please show your support and attend the July 20 meeting.

Debt default will have profound consequences for our economy To the editor, Are you scratching your head trying to make sense of the political maneuvering going on around the debt ceiling? The most powerful country on the planet, having only just righted itself from a self-inflicted financial meltdown is marching towards another self-inflicted financial meltdown.

Unless Democrats and Republicans can find a way to patch up their differences on taxes and spending it is unlikely Congress will vote to increase the federal debt ceiling.

The United States may default on its debt. Default is an eventuality with profound consequences for the economy of America. Additionally, because America is the largest economy as well as maker of the world’s reserve currency. Default will have consequences beyond America’s borders. This is not a local short-term political decision. It is not a decision that should be used for posturing and making campaign points.

The direness of the results of this possibility has produced a certain casual lack of concern, an outright indifference. Probably default will not happen; Investors are still buying America’s debt assuming that for all the theater, politicians are not ignorant enough to jeopardize the full faith and credit of the United States. When the debt negotiations between the political parties collapsed the market took the development in stride. Maybe once the president deigns to participate it is only a matter of time before common sense returns… maybe. The Treasury’s stated deadline for averting a default is stated to be August 2nd.

If Washington is not good at cutting deals, what is it good for? The president and the speaker of the House of Representatives have at last even played golf together. Yes, it was considered a business meeting and you did pick up the tab for it. The speaker

has said repeatedly that, the debt ceiling must be raised — on Republican terms. It is tempting to dismiss the fight over how to do it as mere posturing but many of the newer members of the House are zealots sent to Washington with a message of hope and change. For them this is much bigger than politics as usual.

This group sees itself as a revolutionary vanguard. They have been sent to Washington to resume Ronald Reagan’s mission of rolling back the size of government. They believe that cause to have been betrayed. They were opposed to the tax increases of the first President Bush and the big spending of the second. Now they are sworn to restore the true faith and its central creed: never raise taxes.

Even Reagan, a supply-sider persuaded by Arthur Laffer that his tax cuts would pay for themselves, raised taxes when they did not. Today’s Republicans show no such flexibility.

When the Democrats insisted that a deal would have to include $400-billion more tax revenue and not just less spending the House majority leader, ended the negotiations. The Republican position seems to be: no new taxes, period. The position is so polarized that not even the removal of tax breaks and exemptions is acknowledged as a reasonable proposal.

The idea of taming the deficit by spending cuts alone flies against both common sense and arithmetic.

America’s tax-take is not high either by international or its own historical standards. One commission after another has advocated mixing spending reductions and revenue increases.

Without tax changes, entitlement programs will have to be eviscerated.

That is true even if defense spending too is curtailed. But the Republicans are not budging from their dogma.

LETTERS What is it about liberals that makes them want to hide their first name?

Bringing up Rush Limbaugh is another hypocritical liberal tactic

To the editor, Why do liberal elites think that by disowning their first name in favor of their first initial and middle name, it will impress us? Is it an expression of protest against their parents? Do they hate their mothers and want to deny the name she chose for them? Do they hate their fathers and want to distance themselves from his name? Are their first names embarrassing, like “Eugene” of “Egghead”, so they are trying to hide them with letters like “E”?

I am always wary when I read some-

To the editor, M. Carney takes umbrage to my inferences to his/her evasive tactics in the July 8th letter and the suggestion that he/she just might be a socialist liberal. I never disagreed with you about lazy, unmotivated students. I agree with you that the best teacher in the world can’t teach someone with no desire to learn. I disagreed with your comment that “teachers do deserve good pay and benefits”. Good teachers deserve to be excellently compensated. Lousy teachers need to find another vocation. Since, in neither of your two letters did you “clarify” your position on government sponsored, public sector unions, I could only presume you are simpatico with them based on your one size fits all comment.

I gave you several verifiable examples and historical rationale as to how unions are causing the “dummying down of teachers”. Again, no clarifying comment from you as to why you took umbrage with Tony on this point.

Also, no clarification from you regarding your comments, “If they had their way, all their neighbors would take a cut in pay and live in poverty it seems” and “I think everyone is getting sick of letters to the editor from the same people writing in, blaming everybody but the kitchen sink for their views of who is responsible for all the troubles in the world”. And of course my favorite, “Turn off the TV and Rush Limbaugh, go outside and be happy”. Who are you

thing from someone who will not even use the name his parents gave him.

You have to wonder how someone who cannot even admit the truth about his name can tell the truth in what he writes. But then, these are the people who also use cute substitute words like “choice” for abortion, “fairness” for censorship, and “undocumented guest worker” for illegal alien, so honesty is not something they generally subscribe to anyway.

referring to, because it sure sounds like a liberal taking a sleazy poke at conservatives since there aren’t a lot of liberals who are ditto heads?

But hey, perhaps you are right. Nothing there to suggest you just might be a socialist liberal. The fact that you hide who you are, failed to address any of my attempts to “clarify” where you are coming from, did not address the many facts I presented about unions and offered no facts of your own is a familiar tactic of uninformed liberals. You charged me with making it political because I disagreed with you, yet you are the one who used the name of Rush Limbaugh and the “TV” (Fox News?) when urging us to turn them off and go outside. Another time worn, thinly veiled, hypocritical liberal tactic. Nope, nothing to suggest you might be a liberal here.

Oh, and my urging you to remember July 4th with honor and pride that you thought was off topic. Gosh, that was just a reference to the Declaration of Independence and some silly notion of limited government intervention into the lives of it’s citizens. Of course, a liberal, socialist type would never make that connection. Nope, nothing here to suggest you might be a socialist liberal.

I do hope you will write again as The Sun does a great job of allowing writers of every stripe equal access with expressing their diverse views.

Russ Wiles Tilton

Al took the time to improve his little corner of the world. Thanks!

To the editor, After reading about all the garbage going on in our world, i.e.: our huge deficit, the Anthony trial, drug overdoses, mommy meth-labs and dirtbags breaking into old ladies’ homes in the middle of the night, it’s refreshing to read the story about the Laconia Waste Facility and Al St. Cyr. from preceding page spring from? In part it may be tactical. The reasoning goes; if a default is really possible, won’t the man in the Oval Office have to blink first? Further, isn’t it irresistible to inflict this humiliation on him? Part may be pandering to their political base. A May Gallup poll found that 70-percent of Republican voters do not want Congress to raise the debt ceiling at all.

Almost every Republican in Congress has signed Grover Norquist’s “pledge” to oppose all tax increases.

For a large contingent of Republicans a blanket opposition to tax increases has become a matter of conviction. Since Mr. Obama’s election, they believe government has expanded beyond the consent of the governed and they may be right. They reason that cutting taxes is the only reliable way to roll back the size of government. Their position is that if taxes are raised to reduce the deficit, they will fuel more spending in the future. After their mid-term election victory, and the failure of the President’s stimulus spending to deliver the expected returns, Republicans feel they are on a roll and that the debt-ceiling deadline gives them just the lever they need to inaugurate an historic change of course.

They should take care. If they get their way and they force the president

Here’s one guy who has to deal with all the depressing crap that we all do each and every day and yet he takes the time to improve his little corner of the world in a way that you would least expect. Makes me wonder what we could accomplish if we all took the time to do something good for no other see next page out raising taxes they will have won the battle. That said it is true all voters like low taxes but the course of action undertaken is not without risk. It is equally true voters like all the state help that high taxes buy. They may not be quite as grateful as the speaker expects. Blue-collar whites, who make up 40-percent of the electorate, are fed up with the president. They are also wary of sudden change and attached to entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security (pensions). This group has handed power to the Republicans before, only to defect when the party threatened the welfare state. History has a way of repeating itself. It is possible to win the battle and lose the war.

In politics the “how” matters.

Remember the Republican rage when the Democrats, then in charge of both houses, used all means available to “ram” the controversial Affordable Health Care Act through Congress?

Now the Republicans are using the specter of a debt default to impose their own radical vision of how to reform America. They are doing so before having won control of the Senate, the White House or even the debate. They might be right. What say we vote on it first?

Hard-line GOP group labels 3 Belknap County reps as lost causes, with 1 more who could go either way

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — During the legislative session just ended most of the 18 members of the House of Representatives from Belknap County —all Republicans — ranked highly on the scorecard kept by the House Republican Alliance, a group within the majority that matches voting records to the party platform.

For the past 15 years, the House Republican Alliance has represented the most conservative element of the GOP caucus. By issuing “pink sheets” the group advises House members to vote for or against particular bills then matches their voting records to its recommendations.

Half the delegation voted with the Alliance 90-percent of the time, led by Representative Guy Comtois of Barnstead who, while voting on only 63-percent of the bills, posted the only perfect score among the delegation. Representatives Tyler Simpson of New Hampton scored 99-percent, Robert Malone of Alton 98-percent and Robert Greemore and Colette Worsman of Meredith 97-percent, all while voting on more than 90-percent of the bills.

Among the five representatives from Laconia, Representative Harry Accornero topped the list with a score of 93-percent, followed by Bob Luther at 91-percent, Don Flanders at 89-percent, Bob Kingsbury at 88-percent and Frank Tilton at 87-percent.

Altogether 14 of the 18 representatives scored more than 80-percent.

Of those remaining Jeffrey St. Cyr of Alton scored the highest at 73-percent. Despite equalling the tally of veteran conservative lawmaker Neal Kurk of Weare, Steve MacDonald of GraniteGrok, who takes the score as measures of fealty to the GOP, placed St. Cyr among those “who could make the grade with just a few more votes or who might fall off the bus altogether with the wrong votes.”

The lowest scores were recorded by Representatives Jim Pilliod of Belmont (66-percent), Peter Bolster of Alton (62-percent) and Alida Millham of Gilford (56-percent). MacDonald counts these three as “RINOS” — Republicans In Name Only — or “moderate Democrats,” who would not be elected if “they admitted that they have little or no interest in supporting the Republican Party platform.”

Another blogger, Richard Olson, Jr., named Millham “RINO of the Week,” noting that she voted against legislation to exempt firearms made in New Hampshire from federal regulation, entitle anyone where they have a right to be to use deadly force to protect themselves, reduce the tax on tobacco products, require parental notification of teenagers seeking abortions, expand the death penalty, abolish the rail transit authority, affirm parental rights as “natural rights,” and require photo IDs of voters. Millham, the chairman of the county delegation, he said, is a patron of “social statism”, advocates “nanny-state meddling,” and lacks “political courage.”

Millham was the only member from Belknap County and one of just eleven Republicans to vote against the 2012-2013 state budget, which the GOP leadership touted as its most significant achievement. She and Bolster were the only two members of the delegation to cast votes against a constitutional amendment that would require a supermajority of three-fifths of both the House and Senate to increase an existing or introduce a new tax.

“It is what it is,” Millham shrugged. Now in her sixth term, she said “I am a moderate Republican. I have never scored well with the House Republican see next page from preceding page reason than because it was a good thing to do.

Kudos to you Al. . . and thanks!

WHITEY from page 3 Magistrate Judge Jennifer Boal recessed the hearing until Wednesday, when Greig’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, is expected to argue for Greig’s release.

Boal said family members of some of Bulger’s alleged victims may also testify.

Carazza said the FBI found that Bulger was wellprepared for a life on the run. He said Bulger had a safe deposit box in Dublin and another in London, where a phone number for his brother, former Massachusetts Senate President William Bulger, was listed as a contact.

Carazza said authorities seized more than $800,000 in cash from the apartment in Santa Monica, where Bulger and Greig had been living for much of the last 16 years. He said they also found about 30 weapons and more than a dozen sets of documents for false identifications, including social security cards and birth certificates.

Greig’s lawyer has argued in court papers that prosecutors will have a difficult time proving that Greig aided Bulger, which is necessary to prove a charge of harboring a fugitive.

PHARMACIST from page 2 and demanding money and drugs. Parker, who was unarmed, was struck in the head and knocked out.

Ersland chased the second armed teen, Jevontai Ingram, now 16, out of the store.

Prosecutors said Ersland was justified in firing the first shot but went too far when he grabbed a second gun and fired five more bullets into Parker’s abdomen, wounds that the Medical Examiner’s Office said killed him. Ersland claimed the unconscious teen was still moving.

Ersland, shackled at the hands and feet in a jailissued jumpsuit, stood before Elliott while defense attorney Irven Box asked the judge to suspend the life sentence. When the judge asked if he had anything to say, Ersland replied: “I don’t have anything to say. Thank you.”

Later, as he was led from court by sheriff’s deputies, he responded to a reporter’s shouted question by calling the sentence “an injustice of a monumental proportion.”

District Attorney David Prater had opposed a suspended sentence and said Ersland was found guilty by a “stoic and serious jury” that has been criticized

by bloggers and others who didn’t see the evidence or hear the testimony in the case.

“Me and my office have been criticized. Even the defense team has been criticized,” Prater said. “The rule of law applies. No one is above it.”

Ersland’s son, Jeff, was in court when his father was sentenced. He said he and others will continue collecting signatures on a petition that expresses outrage over the verdict and urges Gov. Mary Fallin and others to “please help us right this wrong.” Petitions containing the names of about 17,000 people were delivered to Fallin’s office last week.

“We hope that eventually our voice will make a difference in freeing him from prison,” Jeff Ersland said. “While a jury handed down a decision based on the letter of the law, we do not believe that complete justice was served in this tragic case of self-defense.

“We believe that armed robbers who enter our businesses and threaten our lives bear the responsibility for the outcome of an armed conflict that they initiate.”

Jeff Ersland has said the sentence recommended by the jury is essentially a life sentence; Jerome Ersland will have to serve 38 years in prison before he is eligible for parole.

“I was hoping the outcome would be a little bit different,” his son said. “It’s definitely hard to deal with. It’s just really hard to see him like that. He’s a good guy.”

Box said the conviction and sentence will be appealed. During the trial, defense attorneys wanted to question a pharmacist who had been victimized by robberies to show a person’s state-of-mind when confronted by armed masked men but Elliott didn’t allow that testimony, he said.

from preceding page Alliance, but I have not been out of step with Republican majorities in the past. My votes have been consistent. “ “I’ve come to terms with the House leadership,” Millham continued. “They know I’m an independent thinker. They may ask me if I will vote this way or that, I will tell them yes or no.”

All of the covers to the lights on both sides of the sign that illuminates the city police department were busted Saturday afternoon, allegedly by a local man who wanted to be arrested. The man was eventually arrested by two officers and charged with multiple offenses including felony reckless conducts for placing town police officers in harm’s way.

SIGN from page one side the police department and he wanted Simmons to see it. He left the lobby through the front door.

Following Levesque, Simmons said he also went outside and saw pieces of the sign strewn about the lawn. To his right, he said he saw Officer Paul Dean who had just pulled into the parking lot and Levesque standing next to the broken sign.

Levesque allegedly said his reason for breaking the sign was that he wanted to get arrested. He told Simmons the police had served him a “no trespass order” and that he had already broken it three times but so far no one had come to arrest him.

Simmons kept Levesque talking and otherwise occupied while Dean sneaked up behind him. Dean took Levesque down from behind while Simmons attempted to get Levesque’s hands behind his back so as to handcuff him.

Levesque told Simmons he was already cuffed and Simmons noticed that Levesque had a series of straps or wrist bands around each wrist that were connected with a metal chain. Attached to the chain was what Simmons described as a “metal object with sharp spikes.”

Unable to get Levesque’s hands behind him, Simmons handcuffed him with his hands in front of him.

Simmons reported that during this time, Levesque continued to “scream, yell, flail his legs and try to pull away from me.”

Simmons and Dean got Levesque to his feet, escorted him into the police station and began walking him down the hallway.

Once inside, Levesque began struggling and moving his arms so the metal object was swinging.

Simmons and Dean again brought him to the floor and Simmons held his arms while Master Patrol Officer Steve Orton used a knife to cut away the wrist straps and remove the swinging metal object.

Simmons said Levesque continued to resist and was subdued with some kind of police pepper spray.

After Levesque was subdued, Dean reported to Simmons that he had been cut by the swinging metal object and Simmons noted in his report that Dean had two puncture wounds in his forearm.

Simmons also reported that his departmentissued cell phone and its holder were broken during the scuffle. see next page

PAYT from page one PAYT is intended to increase recycling by requiring residents to place the trash and garbage they do not recycle in a special-marked plastic bag purchased at local retail outlets. The trash, together with recyclable materials, is collected at the curbside once a week. Trash not contained in a marked bag is left at the curb.

PAYT treats trash disposal like a public utility by ensuring that households and businesses pay only for what they generate, without subsidizing those who chose not to recycle through property taxes. Moreover, non-profit organizations exempt from property tax would also pay their fair share with PAYT. Bedard explained that the cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste, along with the recycling program, is currently met almost entirely by property taxes. Annually some 5,200 tons are collected at the curbside and another 8,800 tons are taken to the transfer station while just 1,000 tons are recycled, leaving 14,000 tons to be transported and incinerated. At $64.46 a ton, it costs $335,192 to collect the 5,200 tons at the curb. To transport 14,000 tons of waste to the incinerator at Concord at $16.63 a ton costs $232,820 and to burn the trash at $66.80 a ton totals $935,200. Finally, the bi-weekly collection of recyclable materials is a flat $120,000 a year regardless of tonnage. Altogether the cost comes to $1.6-million.

Bedard said that the city charges between $5 and $30 a ton at the transfer station and sells stickers, which together generates $364,380 in revenue, which reduces the amount born by property taxes to $1.2-million.

Bedard assumes that with PAYT the solid waste stream will be reduced by 30-percent. She projects that although the amount of solid waste collected, transported and incinerated would be reduced, the cost per ton would increase. Consequently, the cost would come to about $1.2-million. At the same time, she expects that a fivefold increase in recycled

tonnage would require weekly collection costing $220,000 a year, bringing the cost of the program to $1.4-million.

However, Bedard recommends increasing the fees at the transfer station from $5 to $30 to equal the actual cost of handling and disposing of the waste, which would represent $544,729 in revenue. The sale of the bags at $2 apiece would add another $637,000 in revenue. The additional revenue would shrink the share of solid waste costs born by property taxes by $1-million, or by 84-percent.

Bedard’s projections do not include proceeds from the sale of recyclable materials, which are currently fetching $70 a ton.

Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1) was immediately skeptical. Calling the proposal “downshifting,” she said “this is doing to taxpayers just what the state has done to us.” She went on to suggest that PAYT would be difficult to administer in a tourist community like The Weirs with a seasonal but transient population.

Bedard acknowledged that PAYT shifted a share of costs to households and businesses through the purchase of trash bags. But, she stressed that households and businesses paid according to the amount of waste they generated, which they could limit by recycling, without subsidizing their counterparts who chose not to recycle. Likewise, Bedard said that PAYT has been introduced successfully in many tourist areas, including Portland, Maine.

Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) anticipated that residents may be reluctant to increase their recycling and object to paying for both property taxes and trash bags. However, he said that if nothing is done to reduce the solid waste stream, ever rising costs will be reflected in ever higher property taxes.

“It won’t reduce the tax rate a whole lot,” said Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), “but it will ease the increase over time.” Moreover, Hamel said that shifting the lion’s share of solid waste costs from the see next page

ing and final adoption of the budget at its next regularly scheduled meeting on July 25 . . . . . . The council agreed to ask the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development to designate five lots in the first phase of Lakes Business Park an “economic revitalization zone.” The designation will qualify a firm investing in renovating or expanding the buildings on the lots or in adding machinery and equipment to credits against its state business taxes. Gilford has applied for an identical designation of the lots in the second phase of the park that lie within that town.

BELMONT from page one year, has stopped all training and and supply and materials purchases.

Although he was not at last night’s meeting, Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said Police Chief Vincent Biaocchetti made the same budget orders within his department and is facing what could be a $43,000 shortfall.

As part of House Bill 2, Section 188 provides for the recalculation of employer contribution rates to the state pension system that was altered by the Legislature to help compensate for a projected future unfunded liability of as much as $4.7-billion and to bring the state budget plan into balance. Lawmakers ended the state’s traditional contribution to the retirement fund with the intent that public employees would make up most if not all of the difference.

Beaudin said even if the injunction — or legal stop to the rate recalculation — requested by the Board of the New Hampshire Retirement System is granted, the Belmont Police budget will still fall short by $16,648 and $7,433 for the Belmont Fire Department.

The rate calculation sets the amount of money

each community and each category of employee must contribute to the retirement fund.

Sen. Jim Forsythe (R-Strafford) and Belmont’s state senator told the Selectmen the individual communities will be “made whole” by the state, but Beaudin said her calculation indicate an ongoing cost through 2012.

Parenti, who said he has spoken with a number of fire chiefs throughout the Lakes Region said all of the fire departments are in the same predicament.

“I pledged to get something (regarding pension reform) in but make sure you guys are kept whole,” Forsythe said assuring Selectmen the towns will be even by the end of the current fiscal year that just began on July 1.

“But we (the towns) don’t operate on a fiscal year,” Beaudin said, reminding Forsythe that Belmont must balance its budget by December 31.

Budget Committee Chair Ron Mitchell was at last night’s meeting and wanted Forsythe to understand that the town is required to develop and implement its budget long before the state is finished with its.

“The state makes the rules, but then it took away all the money,” he said.

FAIR from page one Nearly 50 people showed up at the March meeting at which Wendelboe was elected president with many pledging their strong support for keeping the fair going despite declining attendance and the lack of a midway show as an attraction.

A key theme which emerged at the March meeting, which was attended by 4-H State Program Leader Wendy Brock, was the sharing the workload and developing committees so that board members are not doing all the work and becoming overwhelmed or burned out.

Wendelboe says that focusing on the things that the fair does well while maintaining its agricultural

roots is the best recipe for rebuilding the fair and keeping its long tradition alive.

The fair got its start in 1943 as a dairy fitting and showmanship competition at Lombardy Farm on Parade Road in Laconia during World War II. Interest in the fair, sparked by Lillian Walker, owner of the farm, grew rapidly and it was later moved to Opechee Park in Laconia, where it was billed as the 4-H Food for Victory Fair.

At the first fair, War Bonds were sold to buy bombs for the war effort and the drive was so successful that the following year the goal of raising bonds to buy an Army training aircraft was established. see next page

The strip of land is now part of a permanent conservation trust to be used for recreation and preservation and is along the Belknap Recreation Alternative Trail. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

from preceding page The War Bond fund drive went statewide and by the time the fair was held in 1944 enough money had been raised to buy nine training aircraft.

Following the war, the fair moved to the Belknap County Recreation Area, returning to Opechee Park in 1950, where it was held until it moved to the former Royal Smith Farm on Mile Hill Road in 1977.

The farm was at one time home to 240 dairy cattle.

“We’ve always been a small fair, just two days now, focused on kids and agriculture, and that’s what we’re going to continue to be. We’re going to have pony rides and lots of entertainment, but the focus will be on a things like the steer pulling competitions, goat and sheep and dog shows as well other animals raised by the children,’’ says Wendelboe.

Over the last 10 years or so the fair, which had billed itself as “New Hampshire’s biggest Little Fair’’, had attempted to go to a three-day format in order to boost attendance for its midway rides. But that format didn’t work out as attendance, always

dependent on good weather, continued to decline despite attempts to add new attractions, like an antique tractor pull.

She says that the fair hopes to build a new indoor concessions space, which can be rented for monthly indoor flea markets, as well as rebuild the roof of the Arthur Harris barn, which now has several large holes in its aluminum roof.

“We’ve got to find other ways to use the property and generate revenue. Fortunately we’re able to use it for boat storage during the winter months and that’s been a big help,’’ she says.

She says that one of the virtues of the small size of the fair is that it provided a friendly, welcoming environment for first-time exhibitors in animal showmanship, giving them the experience and confidence they need to move on to larger venues like the Hopkinton and Deerfield fairs.

Among those helping out Sunday was Elizabeth Baker, former owner of a Meredith nursing home who now lives in Gilford. Baker, 82, supervised the planting of flowers which had been donated by Beans ‘N Greens, Lowe’s and Agway at the caretaker’s residence on the fairground property.

“I hope more people get involved. We’re the only 4-H Fair in the state and we really need people to show up and help us keep this fair going,’’ said Baker.

Another volunteer was State Representative Dennis Fields of Sanbornton, who brought along his own riding lawn mower and was tackling hayfields better suited to being handled by a farm tractor with his small mower.

“It takes about three passes to get it mowed down right, but it is getting done,’’ said Fields, who is president of the Belknap County 4-H Foundation.

“For me, this is all about the kids involved in the 4-H programs.

My reward is seeing that smile they have

Cano edges Gonzalez for Home Run Derby crown PHOENIX (AP) — Robinson Cano outslugged Adrian Gonzalez to win the All-Star Home Run Derby that turned into a Yankees-Red Sox showdown, even through his Boston rival made the biggest splash at Chase Field.

Batting last and being pitched to by his father, Cano defeated Gonzalez 12-11 in the finals Monday night after they each hit 20 home runs through two rounds.

Again highlighting the dangers of trying to catch a ball at a big league ballpark, a fan standing on a table above the pool deck, Keith Carmickle of suburban Kingman, fell over trying to catch a Prince Fielder homer. The fan was grabbed by his brother before going all the way over, where he could have fallen about 20 feet, and was dangling by his feet when he was pulled back up.

“I stepped up on the table, I missed the ball by 2 or 3 feet and went over,” he said. “We caught three balls and I told the guys I was going to go for the cycle.

Dude, they were really holding onto me.”

Last week, a 39-year-old fan, Shannon Stone, died while trying to catch a ball thrown into the stands at a Rangers game in Arlington, Texas.

Carmickle’s brother grabbed his arms and Aaron Nelson of Chandler held his legs.“He wasn’t going down, I was holding on,” Nelson said.

Carmickle said he wasn’t worried while he was dangling. “I bench-press 500 pounds and I wasn’t going down,” he said.

Gonzalez hit a ball that wound up in the swimming pool in right field — along with Mike Moon, a 26-year-old fan who caught the ball before falling into the water, where he was surrounded by bikiniclad women. “I saw the ball, I didn’t want to spill my beer and I didn’t spill my beer,” he said. “I don’t really remember what happened. I think I leaned

forward, caught the ball, then fell like that (leaning backward). It was pretty cool.”

With commercial breaks and other interruptions, the derby has become a three-hour affair that’s so slow a regular-season game seems like an Olympic downhill ski race. Before a crowd of 44,820 on the night before the All-Star game, Major League Baseball said Cano set a final-round record. His father, Jose, appeared in six games for the Houston Astros in 1989.

Matt Thomas of Peoria, Ariz., caught Matt Holliday’s second gold ball, hit deep into the left-field lower deck. The ball, with one panel infused with 24-carat gold leather, has a retail value of $149.99. Players were thrown gold balls when they had one out left.

“It just came right at me, and I reached up and grabbed, I played a little trick like I didn’t have it,” he said, making a tucking motion with his glove, “then went, oh, here it is. It’s pretty cool.”

Gonzalez and Cano were the most impressive hitters throughout, and they eliminated defending champion David Ortiz of the Red Sox and Milwaukee’s Fielder (nine apiece) in the second round. St. Louis’ Holliday (five), Toronto’s Jose Bautista (four), Milwaukee’s Rickie Weeks (three) and the Dodgers’ Matt Kemp (two) didn’t get past the opening round.

Weeks was booed by fans, upset he was picked for the derby over Arizona’s Justin Upton. Chants for Upton resumed when he made nine straight outs. He then hit two gold balls into the seats in left, including one into the second deck. Fielder, who chose his derby teammates, was greeted with the loudest boos. He wound up in a tiebreaker to advance from the first round and went 5 for 5, including a 455-foot drive off the ballpark’s back wall. He had the longest drive of the night at 474 feet and also hit a ball onto the pool deck area.

from preceding page after exhibiting the animals they’ve spent so much time working with and training,’’ said Fields.

And he’s confident the fair will experience a rebirth of interest. “Each year we’re going to do something a little better and raise more money to support it,’’ says Fields.

Dana Chase of Belmont, a member of the fair’s board of directors for seven years, who volunteered to become the fair’s building and grounds manager, says that fairs are in his blood.

He says his dad was a Cooperative Extension educator in Lancaster and that he grew up going to the Lancaster Fair every year. He became an electrician

after attending Laconia Vocational Technical College and built a home in Belmont, where his daughter became involved in 4-H programs.

He has been coordinating the work of volunteers in rebuilding some of the farm buildings at the fairgrounds and when he was laid off last summer spent time rebuilding the front of one of the barns.

“It will look nice when we get it done,’’ says Chase, who said that Sunday’s good work day turnout was heartening to him. “It makes you feel that what you did is worthwhile, that these barns are going to be rebuilt and that this fair will be around for a long time,’’ says Chase.

Blues legend Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters to perform at The Flying Monkey July 15 PLYMOUTH — Boston Blues legend Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters will take the stage for the first time ever in Plymouth at The Flying Monkey Movie House and Performance Center Friday at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 15.

A two-time W.C. Handy Blues Award winner as “Guitar Player of the Year,” Earl has been hailed as one of the premier blues guitarists of his generation and played alongside such greats as Carlos Santana, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner, Otis Rush, Earl King, and Duke Robillard.

Earl’s first professional job was as a rhythm guitarist at The Speakeasy (also known as Speakeasy Pete’s or The Speak) in Cambridge, MA. His first record was playing slide guitar with blues pianist, guitarist, and vocalist Sunnyland Slim. In 1979, Earl joined the Roomful of Blues, then a ten-piece ensemble group based in Providence, RI, where he would spend the next eight years playing and touring while releasing a number of albums, beginning with “Hot Little Mama” in 1981 through the 1986 release of “Live at

Lupos Heartbreak Hotel.” In 1983, he recorded with vocalist Kim Wilson, Darrell Nulisch, and Sugar Ray Norcia, releasing “Smokin” in 1983 and “They Call Me Mr. Earl” for Black Top Records.

In 1988, Earl formed The Broadcasters, named after the first Fender guitar which originally had been labeled The Broadcaster and was distributed in 1950. He has served as an associate professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music and taught for five years at the National Guitar summer workshop.

In 1995, he released “Ronnie Earl: Blues Guitar with Soul,” an instructional VHS tape that was then rereleased in DVD format in 2005.

Tickets to see Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters start at $29 and can be purchased online at www.flyingmonkeynh.com or by calling the box office at 536-2551.

Two-time W.C. Handy Blues Award winner as “Guitar Player of the Year,” Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters will take the stage for the first time ever in Plymouth at The Flying Monkey Movie House and Performance Center at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 15. (Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — Taylor Community will host a free Strawberry Festival open to the public under a tent on the front lawn from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 14.

The Festival, which will take place rain or whine, will feature musical entertainers Cindy Meehan from 4 — 5:15 p.m. and Scott Andrews from 5:30 — 7 p.m.

“This is the first time we’ve held an event of this type that is free and open to the public,” explained Tim Martin, president/ CEO. “We wanted to welcome our extended neighborhood to stop by, enjoy some homemade strawberry shortcake and have some fun.”

“We are very excited to offer the Strawberry Festival as part of our outreach to the community. Many people have no idea what is behind ‘that stone wall on Union Avenue’ and this event will provide a fun opportunity for them to get to know more about Taylor,” explained Paul Charlton, marketing director.

Taylor’s campus has much to offer including a beautiful state-of-the art apartment building at the top of the hill with a pool and theater, as well as meeting rooms that are open to the public and available at no cost to nonprofit organizations.

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t claim to be right all the time.

However, on matters of your expertise, you are rarely wrong. You have credibility and a track record. When you speak your mind, the smart ones will listen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are especially charismatic now and will influence the values and goals of those around you. Stay curious, and continue to ask questions. The more you know about others the more persuasive you’ll be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

A series of challenges lies before you.

They can’t be taken on all at once.

There are developmental steps. Each has its own criteria that must be met before you can move on to the next one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Because your communication is so clear and direct, unexpected opportunities arise. This would be wonderful if it weren’t for the fact that someone gets jealous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel like a square peg in a round hole. Don’t assume it’s you who must change. More than likely, all will be well in your world just as soon as you find a square hole.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 12). You take yourself seriously and make your own needs important. However, you can also laugh at yourself or get lost in someone else’s world for a while.

Because you are so versatile, you have many wonderful adventures this year. You’ll celebrate a major accomplishment in August. November brings family additions. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 11, 43 and 6.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is a fine line between taking initiative and grandstanding. Your awareness of the feelings and positions of those around you will help you strike just the right balance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know that you have a right to defend yourself, to have your own opinion and to be heard. On a deep level, you feel empowered to take a stand, and therefore, no one can make you feel inferior.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t usually think of yourself as a brand, and yet you will benefit from promoting yourself the way companies do. Decide how you want to be seen, and then seize the chance to project your image.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your ability to question your own judgments and assumptions will help you grow within a relationship. You are willing to learn and make the adjustments necessary to succeed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may be proud of what you know and all you’ve accomplished in a certain area of study.

Yet, the cycle will not be complete until you transfer your knowledge to the next generation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is no reason to try to change things all by yourself. There’s already a natural evolution moving the action along. If you feel it’s up to you to help, then at least find others who believe as you do and band together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you have a plan but don’t know the real reason for it, your work will be unfocused and ineffective. Find out or decide on the “why.” What is the real goal? Once you know this, you will act with purpose and conviction.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, July 12, the 193rd day of 2011. There are 172 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 12, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill passed by Congress authorizing the Medal of Honor.

On this date: In 1543, England’s King Henry VIII married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr.

In 1812, United States forces led by Gen. William Hull entered Canada during the War of 1812 against Britain. (However, Hull retreated shortly thereafter to Detroit.)

In 1909, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in passing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, allowing for a federal income tax.

In 1948, the Democratic national convention, which nominated President Harry S. Truman for a second term of office, opened in Philadelphia.

In 1960, the Etch A Sketch Magic Screen drawing toy, invented by French electrician Andre Cassagnes, was first produced by the Ohio Art Co. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter defended Supreme Court limits on government payments for poor women’s abortions, saying, “There are many things in life that are not fair.”

In 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale announced he’d chosen U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York to be his running-mate; Ferraro was the first woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket.

In 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis tapped Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas as his running-mate.

In 1991, a Japanese professor (Hitoshi Igarashi) who had translated Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses” was found stabbed to death, nine days after the novel’s Italian translator was attacked in Milan.

One year ago: Roman Polanski was declared a free man, no longer confined to house arrest in his Alpine villa, after Swiss authorities rejected a U.S. request for the Oscar-winning director’s extradition because of a 32-year-old sex conviction.

Today’s Birthdays: Movie director Monte Hellman is 79. Pianist Van Cliburn is 77.

Comedian Bill Cosby is 74. Singer-musician Christine McVie is 68. Actress Denise Nicholas is 67. Singer-songwriter Butch Hancock is 66. Fitness guru Richard Simmons is 63. Actor Jay Thomas is 63.

‘Community Fun Fair’ fundraiser takes center Folksinger/guitarist David Colburn to perform at stage in downtown Plymouth on July 16 PLYMOUTH — The 6th Annual “Community Fun Fair” fundraiser promises food, games, and creative entertainment for all ages on Main Street, the Town Common, and the Amphitheater from noon — 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 16.

One dollar is the price of admission and five dollars will cover the price of food including burgers, hot dogs, corn, potato salad, cole-slaw, and ice cold beverages.

Activities to be offered will include a blueberry pie-eating contest, pony rides, hula hooping contests, water balloon wars, greased pole competitions, 100-seat musical chairs, Frank Jone’s “Unique Entertainment” amusements, and the always popular foam field.

Noting the event’s history of success, Plymouth’s Merchants Association invited organizers to stage the event downtown this year — at the center of commerce — rather than in the town’s playing fields. Fun Fair’s organizer Cathy Bentwood supported the change of location remarking, “The merchants’ enthusiasm for the ‘Community Fun Fair’ is inspiring — we look forward to celebrating this oneof-a-kind event offering old-fashioned fun at a price

Official sponsorship begins at $250.

Proceeds and sponsorships from the ‘Community Fun Fair’ support The Bridge House (TBH), an organization committed to ending homelessness in Grafton County. Special projects funded by this event include a new initiative to dignify and support homeless veterans. TBH relies on this summer family event to reach their fundraising goal of $20,000.

More sponsors are encouraged to contribute to this worthy cause and fun day for the community.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, July 12, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Five months ago, I begged my sister to move in with me to get her away from her abusive boyfriend. It took some convincing and tough love, but she finally ceased contact with him completely. Three months after she moved in, my fiance and I found out that we were expecting a baby.

We set a wedding date, and he moved in immediately.

We are getting married next weekend, and I am losing my mind. Neither my fiance nor my sister is paying their share of the bills. Neither wants to clean the house. In fact, they don’t seem to have grown up at all, even though we will soon be adding to our family. They both ignore basic responsibilities and think it’s outrageous that I would put mowing the lawn ahead of poker night at the bar.

There isn’t enough room in the house for the three of us, much less a baby, and the situation is compounded when my fiance’s 4-year-old son visits. To make matters worse, I’m having a hard time distinguishing between legitimate concerns, pre-wedding jitters and pregnancy hormones. My sister says she plans to move out before the baby is born, but I don’t believe her.

I am a college graduate with a great job, and I worked hard to get where I am. I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to give our child that same security, but it feels like I have two overgrown adolescents in the house. I can’t wait to be a mother, but I’m beginning to think I would be better off doing it alone. How can I get my fiance and sister to grow up and understand the changes that are coming?

-- N.E. Dear N.E.: If your fiance doesn’t understand the need to contribute to the maintenance of his home, he is not ready to be a husband and father. And your sister must find her own place as soon as possible. Her presence compounds the

problems with your fiance. The two of them feed off of each other, looking for ways to avoid responsibility. You’ve been a good sister. Help yours find another place to live, and then get into counseling with your fiance as soon as possible.

Dear Annie: I am a 36-year-old female, happily divorced and living on my own (one dog, no kids). I am very close to my parents and see them frequently. The problem is, they constantly ask where I’m going, what I did last night, what my plans are for the weekend, who I’m going to be with, and on and on. It drives me nuts. I’m happy to share details of my life with them, but do I have to tell them absolutely everything? -- Terri in Los Angeles Dear Terri: Your parents ask these intrusive questions because they want to feel like a part of your life. This does not mean you have to answer. When you see them, offer as much information about your schedule as you wish. When they ask about things you do not care to share, simply tell them they will have to respect your privacy. If you say it nicely and often enough, they will get the message.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Want To Make Things Right,” whose friend is exhibiting paranoid ideas about rays causing abdominal pain and his shower causing his skin to tingle and burn.

Years ago, I lived in an apartment, and suddenly, after five years there, I began to feel nauseated every time I walked in the door. When I took a shower, the water felt electrified.

Our landlady was very understanding and had the electric company check their nearby transformers. It wasn’t until we moved out that I discovered there was a dormant oil well about 500 feet away that an oil company was priming to use again. They got the oil flowing by shooting electricity 300 to 500 feet down the well. -- Lomita, Calif.
