M’borough Library changes course on ‘campaign’ ban
FRIDAY
BY MIKE MORTENSEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
Kawasaki
MOULTONBOROUGH – Political candidates and their campaigns will be now be able to use the meeting room at the Moultonborough Public Library following a decision Thursday by the Library Board of Trustees. The move, which was approved unanimously by the nine-member board, reversed
a three-year-old policy which barred the library’s Program Room from being used for campaign purposes. Members of the Lakes Region Tea Party pushed to have the policy changed after they were told by library officials that Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontange, who had been invited the group’s May 23 meeting at the library, would not be allowed to make a
campaign speech. Dozens of Tea Party supporters turned out at the trustees’ June meeting to press for a change in the policy. The trustees ultimately agreed to take up the matter at Thursday’s meeting. “The library trustees strive to provide a multiplicity of programs in a harmonious environment for the mutual benefit of our patrons,” Trustee Roger Simpson read from a prepared
statement as he made the motion to allow political events in the Program Room so long as they do not disrupt other library programs, do not involve rallies or fund-raising or solicitations for donations, and that no campaign signs or posters are displayed elsewhere in the library or on library grounds. Simpson said that under the old policy library trustees may see LIBRARY page 4

Scathing Penn State report accuses Paterno of cover-up PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials buried child sexual abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky more than a decade ago to avoid bad publicity, according to a scathing report Thursday that exposed a powerful “culture of reverence” for the football program and portrayed the Hall of Fame coach as more deeply involved in the scandal than previously thought. The alleged cover-up by Paterno, then-university President Graham Spanier and two other Penn State administrators allowed Sandusky to prey on other boys for years, said the report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was hired by the university’s trustees to investigate. He called the officials’ behavior “callous and shocking.”
Obama will pay your utility bills this summer? Many falling victim to scam MADISON, Wis. (AP) — As much as President Barack Obama wants your vote, he’s not actually offering to pay your monthly bills. But thousands of Americans have been persuaded otherwise, falling victim to a fast-moving scam that claims to be part of an Obama administration program to help pay utility bills in the midst of a scorching summer. The scheme spread quickly across the nation in recent weeks with help from victims who unwittingly shared it on social media sites before realizing they had been conned out of personal information such as Social Security, credit card and checking account numbers. “No one knows who is behind this,” said Katherine Hutt, spokeswoman for the Council of Better Business Bureaus in Arlington, Va. “We’re pretty concerned. It seems to have really taken off.” People from all corners of the country report being duped, from New Jersey to California, Wisconsin to Florida and all parts in between. The scam benefits from being cleverly executed and comes at a time when air conditioners in much of the country are running around the clock to tame record-high temperatures. Here’s how it works: Victims typically receive an see SCAM page 13
“Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky’s child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State,” Freeh said at a news conference in Philadelphia upon the release of the 267-page report. “The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized.” The findings of the $6.5 million, eight-month investigation into one of the biggest scandals in the history of college sports could further stain Paterno’s reputation. The revered coach who emphasized integrity both on and off the field and ran what was considered one of the cleanest programs in sports died of lung cancer in January at age 85, months
after he was summarily fired by the trustees. Freeh said that while he regretted the damage the findings would do to Paterno’s “terrific legacy,” the coach “was an integral part of this active decision to conceal,” and his firing was justified. Asked whether the actions of the four officials amounted to a crime such as conspiracy or obstruction, Freeh said that would be a matter for a grand jury to decide. In a statement, Paterno’s family strongly denied he protected Sandusky for fear of bad publicity. “The idea that any sane, responsible adult would knowingly cover up for a child predator is impossible to accept. The far more realistic conclusion is see PENN STATE page 5
CONCORD (AP) — A day after New Hampshire’s Employment Security commissioner stepped down following a complaint alleging that she manipulated the system to get unemployment benefits for her daughter, the deputy commissioner was suspended Thursday amid similar allegations. Gov. John Lynch said that Deputy Commissioner Darrell Gates was suspended with pay pending further investigation. “The (Executive) Council and I believe these allegations of misconduct are serious and that suspension is the appropriate action to take,” said Lynch, who plans to nominate Labor Commissioner George Copadis to serve as interim Employment Security
commissioner. The executive council will consider the nomination on Monday. Commissioner Tara Reardon submitted a letter of resignation to the governor on Wednesday. She was put on paid administrative leave through Aug. 31. She claims the complaint stems from some disgruntled workers. Two department co-workers allege in a complaint that Gates and Reardon each had their daughters hired to part-time jobs, then instructed a subordinate to lay their daughters off so they could collect unemployment benefits. see GATES page 14

9 dead & 2 missing in Mont Blanc summer avalanche CHAMONIX, France (AP) — A climber trying to scale Mont Blanc may accidentally have caused a slab of ice to snap off Thursday high in the French Alps, sparking an avalanche that swept nine European climbers to their deaths, authorities said. A dozen climbers were injured and two were still missing by nightfall. As a sheet of snow and ice thundered down the steep slope, several other climbers managed to turn away from the slide in time, regional authorities in Haute-Savoie said.

A gift of wheels for Tilton family that lost home & transportation to July 4 storm By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
TILTON — A local family whose home was severely damaged and vehicles utterly destroyed when a micro-burst felled pine trees on their property on Hill Road during a heavy thunderstorm on the Fourth of July received a fresh set of wheels yesterday, thanks to the efforts of their neighbors and the generosity of AutoServ of Tilton. Sylvia Rivers was thrilled and close to tears as Andrew Hosmer, general manager of the dealership, handed her the keys to a 2001 Nissan Xterra. Rivers, a cook supervisor at Lakes Region General Hospital, said that the SUV will enable her to return to work, ferry her twelve year-old daughter and do the grocery shopping. Settling behind the wheel to find an automatic transmission, she said that Larry, her husband who is disabled, will be comfortable in the SUV as well. The children were at a neighbors nearby but the couple, who celebrated Sylvia’s 50th birthday and their 29th anniversary three days after the storm, were at home when the storm struck. “First there was the lightning and thunder,” she recalled, “then the rain. The animals were going crazy. I went into the kitchen to get cat food,” she continued. “I shut a window and heard a window in the bedroom blow out. Then the tree hit the top of the house.” Rivers said that “it fell in front of my face and everything shifted, the ceilings, the walls and the water poured in.” The pine tree atop the house was found to weigh 17,300 pounds, she said. Altogether five trees on the property fell. “Fifteen seconds,” Rivers remarked. “That’s all it took.” The Rivers are now living at Water’s Edge condominiums, a stone’s throw from their home, which they fear may take between six months and a year to repair. Meanwhile, the town rallied to their aid. Rivers said that Selectman Joe Jesseman was on hand to help soon after the tree fell. Jane Alden and Tom Gal-

Gilford Selectboard gives up memorial triangle idea; tribute will go up across street BY GAIL OBER
GILFORD — Selectmen voted 2-to-1 to give up on their plans to erect a flag pole in the triangle between the intersection of Routes 11-A and 11-B, choosing instead to erect it near the historic Outing Club warming hut located across the street. Selectman Kevin Hayes said it has become clear that the N.H. Department of Transportation will not discontinue its interests — or right of way — in the area and they do not want to see a flag pole there. He said that while he is disappointed with the DOT, he didn’t consider continuing to fight the state a good use of the town’s time and resources. Hayes attended a recent meeting in Concord with representatives of the DOT, a transportation attorney from the Department of Justice and Gilford Town Administrator Scott Dunn and said Wednesday he came away with the impression that if the town went ahead with it’s plans to erect a flag pole there he “would expect the attorneys to have smiles on their faces.” The idea of erecting a flag pole and renaming the
grassy triangle the Memorial Triangle came last summer from Selectman John O’Brien who had hoped to erect the flag pole before the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to honor the men and women who have served in Gilford’s public safety departments. In the year since O’Brien first made his proposal, selectmen approved spending up to $9,200 on engineering on the site, about $6,000 of which was spent. The $3,000 to purchase the flag pole has been raised through donations from businesses and individuals from all around the Lakes Region. Even though the town owns the property, it ran into opposition from the DOT because the triangle is bordered on all three side by state highway. Representatives from the DOT said they don’t want the distraction of the flag pole in the center of what they consider a reasonably dangerous intersection. A suggestion by the town to reconfigure the intersection to a “T” and make one connection point from Route 11-B to Route 11-A was acceptable to the DOT however there is no money in either the DOT budget or the town budget to do the construction. “We discussed the T-intersection,” said Hayes. “Its
at least five years out and it’s too much money.” O’Brien waned to know if the town had exhausted all of its legal options before he would agree to give up the fight. Dunn said the state had turned down the request “three different ways” but he said his review of a section of the state law governing state highways leads him to think the town could prevail in court. “This is silly,” said O’Brien. He said there is a telephone pole near the same spot where they want to put a flag pole and he doesn’t see much of a difference between the two in terms of public safety. Hayes said the DOT was also concerned with cars parking nearby and people crossing the road to get to the flag pole. “They had a long list,” Hayes said agreeing with Dunn that none of their objections are legitimate but saying he still doesn’t believe putting the flag pole in the triangle is “worth fighting for.” Selectman Gus Benavides agreed with Hayes and joined him in voting to erect a memorial flag pole on town property near the warming hut. O’Brien voted against it.
LIBRARY from page one have become “overly protective as a result of heartfelt concerns ... for what is our commitment to the library.” “It has taught us a lesson,” library Trustee Chairman Phyllis Prouty told approximately 30 members of the public who turned out for Thursday morning’s meeting. “The policy was vague and we learned that we have to spell that out.” But Prouty went on to say that the controversy had been an “extremely stressful time,” and she believed that the “misinformation” and “attacks” by some critics came at the expense of a “loss of a true sense of community.” Tea Party member Sue Schmidt said she was pleased with the trustees’ action.
“Thank you for working this out,” she told the board, adding that she is a big library supporter. Her comments were followed by applause from most in the audience. Outside the meeting room Schmidt said, “We appreciate the time and trouble they went to.” Speaking of the Tea Party group she said, “We’re older people to sit and listen politely to what other people have to say. We are not interested in being disruptive.” “I’m pleased to see that you (changed the policy) so that people will hear what people running for office have to say,” said resident Jerry Hopkins. But not everyone was pleased with the decision to change the policy. “You have opened the floodgates to any group who has a complaint and wants a (library) policy changed
to suit them,” said Linda Belisle. Belisle, a library worker in Center Harbor, said later she felt strongly that libraries need to be seen as politically neutral. “Allowing political campaigning in a public library is a huge mistake,” she said. Prouty said that the prior policy which allowed groups to use the Program Room for “discussion of issues but not for campaign purposes” was put in place after a political group used the room to set up a phone bank to call people urging them to vote for a particular candidate. Other libraries in the area do not have restrictions on the use of their public meeting rooms by political groups. Laconia Library Director Randy Brough said that the only stipulation for the use of Rotary see next page

PENN STATE from page one that many people didn’t fully understand what was happening and underestimated or misinterpreted events,” the family said. “Sandusky was a great deceiver. He fooled everyone.” The findings could have consequences for the criminal case against Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and retired senior vice president Gary Schultz, who are awaiting trial on charges of failing to report abuse and lying to a grand jury. In addition, the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office is still investigating the scandal, and others could be charged. Sandusky, a former member of Paterno’s coaching staff, is awaiting sentencing after being convicted last month of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. Freeh and his team, which included lawyers and former law enforcement officials, interviewed more than 430 people and examined more than 3.5 million emails, handwritten notes and other documents. Paterno died before he could be interviewed but testified before a grand jury. The investigation focused largely on the university officials’ decision not to go to child-welfare authorities in 2001 after a coaching assistant told Paterno that he had seen Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in the locker room showers. Paterno and the others gave various explanations for their decision, saying among other things that they misunderstood the allegations, that they did the best they could and that this was the “humane” way to handle the matter. But the Freeh report said: “It is more reasonable to conclude that, in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at the university — Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley — repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse from authorities, the university’s board of trustees, the Penn State community and the public at large.” A number of other factors contributed to the decision to keep quiet, the report found, including “a culture of reverence for the football program that is ingrained at all levels of the campus community.” Spreading the blame around, the report also said the trustees failed to exercise oversight and didn’t inquire deeply into the matter when they finally learned of it. Spanier’s lawyers Thursday denied Spanier took part in a cover-up and said Freeh’s conclusion “is simply not supported by the facts.” Spanier was ousted along with Paterno four days after Sandusky’s arrest last November. Attorneys for Curley and Schultz said that the investigation was flawed and that their clients would prove their innocence in court. Curley lawyer Caroline Roberto called it a “lopsided document that leaves the majority of the story untold.” from preceding page Hall is that the event or meeting must be open to the public. Gilford Library Director Katherine Dormody said that the only prohibition involving its meeting room is that it cannot be used for the sale or distribution of commercial products. The Meredith Public Library has recently restricted the use of its meeting to library-sponsored programs only due to limitations on the room’s capacity. Prouty, who has been a Moultonborough Library trustee since 1999 and has served as the board’s chairman since 2006, said she was pleased with the outcome of Thursday’s meeting. But she said much of the criticism was “very unpleasant.” She noted that in addition to letters to the editor published in area newspapers, blog postings, and e-mails to individual trustees, the library itself received 16 emails complaining about the policy and/or the way the trustees were handling the matter. “Only two e-mails are from (Moultonborough) library cardholders.

Trouble in the middle A study out this week by the liberal Center for American Progress found that kids in the middle don’t think school is challenging enough. That’s right: According to the great silent majority of students surveyed over the past three years by the Department of Education, the problem is not too much homework but too little; it’s not assignments that demand too much, but those that are, quite literally, too easy. Consider: Among eighth graders, 57-percent say their work in history is either “often” or “always” too easy. Nearly 40-percent of high school seniors say they rarely write about what they study in class. (What do they write about?) In math, where much has been made of the gap between our kids and those from other countries, 21-percent of all 12th graders say their classes are “too easy.” What’s happening? I fear it is as simple as this: While kids at the top have been subject to enormous attention for the supposed pressure-cooker competition to get into the top colleges, and kids at the bottom have been subject to enormous attention because of debates about whether they should be promoted even when they lack basic skills (and how to provide the remedial help they need), kids in the middle just slip by. Or slip through, neither failing nor soaring, neither demanding extra attention nor getting it, doing OK as opposed to doing their best. Believe me, I’ve seen it. Anecdotally, I’m sure everyone reading this knows of students who go from year to year in the middle, with no one even trying to figure out whether they could do better, or what it would take for them to do their best. I know of kids with very treatable learning issues who simply were never diagnosed because they were making mostly B’s or C’s — and it was the A students and the D/F students who got all the attention. I know of parents who can’t forgive themselves for not realizing their kids had problems or weren’t being challenged, because the schools and teachers kept telling
them what a “pleasure” their children were. Pleasure? Maybe. But too often, pleasure is a synonym for a student who demands very little and does well enough. We debate standards when what we really mean are minimums. We wring our hands over the pressure being out of control. But really, most of it is self-imposed, or imposed by parents of students in the most accelerated classes. Schools pride themselves on the number of students who get into top-tier schools, without asking how many could have gotten into top schools had they received the attention they deserved. Kids in the middle deserve as much attention as those at the top and bottom. They are telling us that they need to be challenged. They are telling us that “teaching to the middle” should mean challenging the kids in the middle, not accepting middling mediocrity as good enough. Some educators, responding to the latest report, argue that what these students are really saying is not that they don’t have enough to do, but that they are bored. I can still remember sitting in my high school classes, with those old-fashioned ceilings with the little holes in every panel, and counting the holes. The challenge is not to simply assign more work, but to assign work that emphasizes critical and creative thinking, that sparks kids to look down instead of counting holes in the ceiling panels. Technology is not an answer to everything. Talented teachers and attentive parents will always be key, but technology makes it possible to teach a class in which everyone is not working at the same level or on the same lesson. Our kids are telling us something very important. We need to listen. We owe them better.

Range & quality of foods to eat at Jewish Festival grows every year To the editor, It’s coming up fast, that July 15 day when foodies all over New Hampshire congregate at the Jewish Food Festival at Temple B’Nai Israel in Laconia. The range and quantity of Sephardic and Ashkenazi foods grows every year. Most people know these delicacies as cheese blintzes, brisket sandwiches, kugels, strudel, Israeli salads and more and more, And the browsing at the “nearly new boutique” has terrific pickings this year.
Are you busy that day? Order foods in advance. Just call 267-1935 to place your order and the kitchen crew, led by Irene Gordon, will have your food wrapped and ready at your convenience. This is a call to a long enjoyed community event at which the Temple shares its’ heritage with the whole Lakes Region community. We invite you to join us on Sunday, July 15.

LETTERS We’ve already had a lot of ‘socialized’ medicine, for a long time To the editor, The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled. A person who does not purchase health insurance will not be paying a “penalty” but rather a “tax.” Still, who cares if it IS a penalty? Aren’t some penalties, like parking tickets, a source of local revenue? Are they a penalty or a tax? The point is that everyone should have health insurance. Since it is not now provided for by our government we have to buy it from the private sector is it fair that those who pay for it to subsidize those who choose not to? The political pundits like to point out that a majority of Americans disapprove of “Obamacare” (a bill passed by Congress). But, even if that is accurate (other polls show a slight majority support for the plan), it is still misleading. What they don’t tell you is that at least 30-percent of Americans oppose it because it does not go far enough and still puts American health care in the hands of private insurers out to make a profit. Why were the insurers even at the table in the first place? After all, they are largely (but not solely) responsible for the health care fiasco in the United States. I am not so sure that being the biggest part of the problem qualifies one to be an objective part of the solution. What the Affordable Health Care Act needs is a PUBLIC option which was originally planned but strongly opposed by the insurance industry. I wonder why? At a minimum, a public
option is needed for any meaningful reform. At best, Congress should consider a “single-payer” plan such as exists in the Canadian provinces and which is being planned in Vermont and Montana. Such a program would not have to be federally-run but could be run by the states, just as are many other federal programs. Of course many conservatives will cry “socialized medicine” but so what if it is? If “socialized” means that the government directs and pays for it, we already have plenty of “socialized medicine” already and have for a long time. What about Medicare and Medicaid? What about Veterans’ hospitals and clinics? Or, the U.S. Public Health Service? And, what about medical care for our military members and their dependents? As a former “military brat” and a military veteran myself, I know that my family and I received quality medical and dental care through the military’s “socialist” health care system. Actually, not even the provincial single-payer systems in Canada are totally “socialistic.” They are more “mixed” economies. Doctors and other providers can remain in private practice and not work for the government directly. In that sense, the Canadian system is certainly much less “socialistic” than our medical programs for veterans and active-duty service members. E. Scott Cracraft Gilford
Inns at Mill Falls stepped up to pay for our 4th of July concert To the editor, On behalf of the Meredith Parks and Recreation Department I would like to thank the good folks at The Inns and Spa at Mill Falls for their very generous financial contribution in support of our annual 4th of July Concert. Due to reductions made in the 2012 Parks and Recreation Department annual budget, funding for the 4th of July Concert was eliminated. In response The Inns and Spa at Mill Falls came forward with their offer of support, as they have for a wide variety of causes over the years to benefit the entire community, allowing us to enjoy a
sional Brass Quintet and guest vocalist Amy Jane McCabe. Once the storm cleared a large crowd settled in and enjoyed a great show with family and friends as well as the fireworks which immediately followed. Support for events such as this is why I am so very proud to live and work here in Meredith. Our business community, civic groups, and individual citizens are always very generous with their time, talents, and resources in times of need. It is what makes Meredith such a special place. Thank you! Vint Choiniere, Director Meredith Parks & Recreation Department

LETTERS If we’re going to keep Medicare we’re going to have to pay for it
Everyone will have a right to medical ‘care’ but there won’t be any
To the editor, Topic: Keep Social Security and Medicare in their present form. In the fall of 2008 bad things began to happen to our banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions. Jobs were disappearing at an alarming rate. President Bush, to his credit, followed his advisors and called for the first bail out for banks. President Hoover, in the time of the Great Depression, did not know what to do and so he did nothing. We have all heard about the 25-percent unemployment and bank after bank failing. President Bush and President Obama acted and avoided a much greater recession. There was another force that helped us. Seniors had a secure check coming from Social Security and they had Medicare. Most of the money from Social Security went back into the economy and many seniors were holding their own. The Republicans would like to privatize both Social Security and Medicare. President Bush tried to privatize Social Security but failed. If he had been successful, what would have happened to your check with the stock market floundering in 2008? The Republicans are favoring Paul Ryan’s plan which would replace Medicare with a voucher system where you would use your allotted amount to buy your insurance from private companies. The insurance companies would be in control. In my
To the editor, Democrats and a minority of this country’s citizens are applauding the progressive passing of Obamacare. Thank God that our government can’t use the Commerce Clause to force us to buy something or eat something. Unfortunately, we will now be taxed for not doing whatever the government thinks is good for us. The bully behemoth that is our government continues to devour our rights to constitutional liberties and now will punish us if we don’t acquiesce to anything it feels it must compel us to do for our own good. Obamacare has virtually nothing to do with improving health care and everything to do with power and control. A government-run health insurance bureaucracy will drive private health insurance out of existence. Though it will be far less efficient than free market care, it will win the competition because government doesn’t play fair. As Cliff Asness notes in his article, “Health Care Mythology”, government will under price the private system by “charging less to the purchaser of health insurance, not by actually making it cheaper”. We will all pay more in taxes to make up the difference. Sort of like taking two bucks out of your left pocket in order to give you one dollar to put back into your right pocket. If that doesn’t work, our government will just change the rules. The roots of our medical crisis have been caused by government intrusion dating back to 1910 and the Flexner report which put out of business medical schools that went against orthodox, allopathic medicine. Homeopathic medicine took a severe hit. 56-percent of all hospitals in America were privately owned and for profit. Milton Friedman notes that “after 60 years of subsidies for government run hospitals, the number has fallen to 10-percent.” If Obamacare had anything to do with health care reform, it would
opinion we would soon be trapped with higher and higher co pays. Gone would be Medicare as we know it. I believe that changes are needed for Medicare to stay solvent but I don’t believe that the voucher system is to our benefit. If we want to keep the Medicare system going, people will have to pay for it. Health costs keep going up and people are living longer, which means we need a plan to keep it going for future generations. In my opinion the richest Americans should not be asked to foot the bill. We all need to accept the responsibility. Young people need to know that it will be there for them. In a recent newsletter, AARP presented several options to keep Medicare going. Remember that Representative Bass and Representative Guinta voted for the Paul Ryan plan. It has been endorsed by Governor Romney. Please do not let them destroy these safety nets needed by most of us. Where would seniors be if the Democrats had not added Social Security and Medicare as government programs? If you get nothing else out of this letter, please educate yourself as to what is being proposed for changes in these programs. Political ads are often misleading and are not the best source of information. This election may very well be the most important election in your lifetime. Paul Bonneville Lochmere (Tilton)
Humane Relations group welcome to speak on my radio show To the editor, I still haven’t heard from Leonard Campbell, who sent me an e-mail (7/5) expressing an interest in being a guest during my radio program. Len tells me that the “purpose is to promote civil dialogue within our First Amendment rights. It is not to stop any direction of conversation nor to limit what is said. It is not a particular political agenda.” He continues, “The Community Aspirations document is, like any document that describes what a community would like to see, a statement about goals that would help a community grow and mature. It is not, as you have characterized, an attempt to curtail free speech. I hope that you will include someone from the Human Relations Group as part of this conversation.” I responded that he is welcome and would offer him up to 60+ minutes if needed.
After reading a letter from one of the best in town (my opinion) Pat Wood, I would like to have him join Len and I on Saturday, July 21 or July 28 in the WEZS studio. Since no response from Len, this Saturday is off the table. One of my scheduled guests is N.H. Speaker of the House Rep. Bill O’Brien (7/21) and on July 28 Phyllis Schlafly will join us by phone. Speaking of tolerance, how about those folks who used some really rough language toward Jane Pitt, mother of Brad Pitt. What did Jane do to deserve what took place? Why, Jane wrote a letter to the editor, urging voters to elect Mitt Romney because Obama supports abortion of the little ones, and gay marriage. Oh, Jane, Obama is a much more harmful to this country than on just those issues! Niel Young Laconia
Don’t let Romney take student loan program back to bad old days To the editor, Now Romney wants to pull another fast one that’s guaranteed to make him a pile of money and cost us money. Up until a few years ago all student loans went through private companies, banks etc., until Obama stopped this practice. The government took over, saving billions (approximately $60B), which was able to fund the Pell program at little cost to the taxpayer. This did eliminate some private jobs but also cleared up most of the illegal activities that these private industries were doing. But these private compa-
nies were big Republican investors and, to a smaller degree, Democrat supporters. Romney, of course, was a big investor in some of these companies. So the incentive is fairly clear. Now Romney wants to start this program again and the taxpayers stand to lose billions. There are numerous articles online about this for you to read and make your own decision. But no matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican this is NOT a good idea. Jon Hoyt Bridgewater

include the following: (1) market based reforms giving patients increased control over health care decisions and increased access to care; (2) greatly increase the limits of Health Savings Accounts; (3) allow the purchase of insurance across state lines; (4) relief from crushing state mandates and regulations; (5) tort reform. 2700 plus pages and just no room for any of these options that might actually improve health care. Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor explains nationalized health care thusly, “In the UK, thanks to nationalization, price controls, and government rationing of health care — thousands of people die needlessly every year because of shortages of kidney dialysis machines, pediatric intensive care units, pacemakers and even x-ray machines. This is America’s future, if Obamacare becomes a reality”. Dan Danner, president of the National Federation of Independent Business said about Obamacare, “This adds insult to injury that small business owners are already feeling from a law that does everything to increase costs, when what they really need is lower costs”. John A. Allison of the CATO Institute warned in May, “Unless there is a radical overhaul, MedicareMedicaid-Obamacare will ultimately bankrupt the United States”. Murray Rothbard of the Mises Institute believes that “socialized medicine could easily bring us to the vaunted medical status of the Soviet Union: everyone has the right to free medical care, but there is, in effect, no medicine and no care”. I will finish by using a quote from President Obama’s economy speech of a few weeks ago: “Your vote will finally determine the path that we take as a nation: not just tomorrow, but for years to come”. Who will you be voting for on November 6th? Russ Wiles Tilton
I have invited Sen. Forrester to join me in series of debate forums To the editor, Last month, I spoke with state Senator Jeanie Forrester in Meredith. I introduced myself as her Democratic opponent in the upcoming election. I discussed the importance of the issues facing the voters in the 27 towns in Senate District 2. We may disagree about ways to move forward to solve the state’s problems, but I promised her that my campaign would focus on our different approaches to address the issues. I think an open discussion of differing ideas would be very positive for the voters in the district. I suggested we appear together in a series of candidate debate forums in September and October. This would provide the voters an opportunity to ask questions about their important issues. These debate forums could be sponsored by a neutral party such as the New Hampshire League of Women Voters. I suggested we work together to set up these meetings in Bristol, Haverhill, Meredith, Plymouth, and Tilton. I also offered to go to any other towns in the district where the voters wanted to hear from us together.
On Election Day, November 6, we will chose a new governor who must work with a new Legislature to address a number of important issues affecting the lives of the voters in Senate District 2. Before making a decision, the voters should know where Jeanie and I stand on such issues as the state budget, creating new jobs and stimulating the economy, state funding for public education, and our state’s future health care policy. After speaking to Jeanie, I sent her a follow-up letter and e-I mail inviting her to join me in setting up these candidate debate forums. To date, I have not yet received a reply from her about participating. I still believe candidate debate forums are the best way to present our ideas to the voters and listen to their concerns. I look forward to hearing from Jeanie and to move forward as we give the voters of NH Senate District 2 the best opportunity to interview the two candidates for the job of serving as their N.H. Senator. Bob Lamb Holderness

LETTERS What exactly are you expecting to find in Obama’s college records?
In N.H., municipalities have right to prohibit circuses & carnivals
To the editor, Mr. Earle, I am responding to your letter in the July 10 Sun. First, I want to point out to you that President Obama is not the first black president. He is, in fact, the first biracial president. And, like it or not, he is an American citizen, born in Hawaii and has produced his birth certificate, certified, proving that. No other president has ever had to do this and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand why. As to him being so secretive give me a break. He has been asked to, and has produced, more information about himself than any other president ever had to. Why is it so important to you that he release his college records or that you see his passport? What exactly are you hoping to find and what exactly is your problem with this man? I don’t see you demanding Mitt Romney release his college records, passport or even his birth certificate. In fact, the only secretive person right now is Mitt Romney. He won’t even produce more then the one tax return.
To the editor, Many thanks to the compassionate people who have written recent letters to speak out against cruelty to circus animals. Proponents of the circus may insist that circus animals are treated well but photos and USDA reports don’t lie. Circus animals are tortured to force them to perform ridiculous tricks; they are chained, beaten, electroshocked and stabbed with bull hooks. And that’s not to mention the inherent cruelty in removing them from their own social groups and dragging them around the country in cramped, dirty trailers. The biggest circus of all, Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey, performs in Manchester every year. Last spring, Mayor Gatsas and Manchester Aldermen received packets of information including photos taken at Ringling’s Center for Elephant Conservation, copies of the USDA Press Release on last year’s unprecedented fine against Ringling’s parent company, and a letter signed by 40 activists which asked the aldermen to initiate an ordinance to prohibit displays of exotic animals for entertainment in Manchester. The aldermen threw our concerns in
Why? What is he hiding? I’d really like to know why he has his vast wealth overseas and why he transferred his holding on an overseas company to his wife one day before becoming a governor and now claims not to know anything about this company. Perhaps you aren’t aware but Mitt Romney’s own father released 12 years of his tax returns and also said that just releasing one was insufficient because it could just be a fluke that year and not show all the facts. He felt that the American people had a right to know it all. You also stated that people only voted for “President Obama because he is black and because they fell in love with the idea of electing the first black president.” You stated you didn’t understand why conservatives were called racist when they don’t agree with liberals. Fact is the reason is not the disagreeing, it is because of these ludicrous requests and racist statements. Nancy Parsons Laconia
My son is happier kid during sports season & it shows in classroom To the editor, In response to the “Real education ignored as money is funneled into games” letter published on July 12, I would just like to agree and disagree with the author. Is the education here in lacking? Yes, often times it is. I don’t think anyone would argue that point. But is football or any other sport to blame? I don’t think so. My son plays football and lacrosse for the Laconia School District and gets so much out of both programs! He has learned teamwork, leadership skills, coping skills, determination, compromise, perseverance, problem solving, patience and much, much more. He is a happier kid when it is a sports season and better able to concentrate on his schoolwork because of the time he spends on the field. He is miserable and unfocused when he is not playing. The coaching staff have given him another safe place to take concerns and always expect all the

athletes to maintain the highest level of academics possible as well as honor and integrity. “Coach won’t put up with that” he always tell me. My sons are not students in the Laconia schools for many reasons. We have homeschooled them forever. Do the schools have areas that need improvement? Of course, but let’s not take away positive activities and influences that only help our students be the best they can be. Let’s find positive ways to improve all the aspects of our children’s lives. Leon, you know my sons and I think you would agree that they are fine young men. Braeden has benefited greatly from his association with the sports program at Laconia. It has given him something that we are not able to give him at home and we are all better off because of our connection to the athletic department at LHS. Jessica Alward Laconia

the trash can, but we learned several very important things in this process. In New Hampshire, the Fish and Game Department has exclusive control over captive and non-captive wild animals. However, RSA 207:59 states that this exclusive control does not limit a political subdivision’s rights to control its own property. For example, in Manchester, the city owns the land where the Verizon Wireless Arena sits, so the city could prohibit exotic animal exhibitions on this property. Also, RSA 47:17 specifically gives municipalities the right to prohibit circuses, carnivals, etc. within their boundaries. For those living in smaller towns with a selectmen/town meeting type of government, all it takes to put a proposed ordinance on the town warrant is a petition with the signatures of 25 registered voters. The complete process is described in RSA 39: 3. It is my belief that within 15 to 20 years, federal law will prohibit the interstate transportation of exotic animals for entertainment. In the meantime I strongly encourage concerned individuals to initiate local ordinances in their own cities and towns . Jean Slepian Stoddard
Solution to parking problem is a 3-story garage in Main Street lot
To the editor, The solution to the parking problem in downtown Laconia is a 3-story parking garage in the Main Street half of the city parking lot. It could pay for itself by charging per hour for those working downtown and for those working downtown; a monthly permit with a reasonable price tag to park on the ground floor. This would satisfy employees. Concord has 45-thousand residents and five parking garages. Laconia obviously needs another. Give Emily’s employees just what they need. This way they don’t come to work overtired and undernourished. I know that it’s like. I walk from the south end parking garage to work, and I’ve lost so much weight that I actually look great and feel good. How about you Scott with all your walking? Feel sympathetic to all those overweight lazy employees?
Now in regard to doing away with 2-hour parking: fine, but put in parking meters. The parking on the streets will be regulated, that way the city will make money. With all-day parking you’ll have employees parking in front of each other’s business causing serious trouble including confrontations, arguments, lawsuits, etc. You’ll also, have tenants parking out front of each other’s buildings and that will cost business dearly. Finally we don’t need the Farmer’s Market taking up the parking spaces from 2-5 p.m. on Thursdays. Saturday’s at City Hall is enough. The parking space in front of my barber shop is for my customers, not the Famer’s Market, as is too often the case. John Downs “JD” the Barber Laconia

LETTERS Attracting more high paying jobs to county will lower crime rate To the editor, Best use of stimulus money? My name is David DeVoy and I am running for Belknap County Commissioner, District 1. At the June 25th public meeting, the County Commission requested $185,000 to hire a consultant to lead and coordinate a new prison system for the county. The plan would be a road map for a new prison and justice system of drug and mental health courts. The fee does not include the cost of hiring an architect to design the prison. The cost for the completed project would be from 25-45 million dollars. The County Commission pointed out many safety issues with the current prison. These issues have been known for years. The county was requesting the funds because their first consultant did not give them the finished product they expected. Now, they want to hire another consultant to finish the job. The current prison is designed for 87 prisoners and did not exceed that capacity until 2007, when the economy started to falter. The prison has been reconfigured to handle up to 109 prisoners. The County Commission received stimulus money. Instead of taking care of the known safety issues at the prison, they decided to upgrade their building for several hundred thousand dollars. Now, the Commission tells us we are in a crisis and must act. The County Delegation voted not to approve the request for funds, by one vote. The County Delegation asked the Commissioners to explain why they spent stimulus money to build each of them their own office instead of using the money wisely to correct the most critical areas of the prison. The County Delegation pointed out to the Commissioners that they had money in their current budget to pay for the consultant. The Commissioners did not like the response and will hold a revote on July 16th. I have several concerns with the Commission. First, was their failure to provide oversight to ensure the first consultant’s scopes of duties were properly defined. Second, is their inability to prioritize stimulus money, putting their needs first over of the prison. Third, is the unwillingness of the County Com-
mission to build a coalition to move forward on possible courses of action. I believe we do need to address the problems at the prison, as do the County Delegation members; however, the most expensive solution should not be the only option. It is unfair to taxpayers to expect them to pay 45 million dollars for a new prison, when several hundred homes in Belknap County are in foreclosure. Another possible course of action could address repairing or upgrading the existing prison along with the adding drug and mental health courts. This option would address safety concerns at the prison and allow nonviolent offenders to stay out of prison, thereby elevating the overcrowding. I believe the prison population is a direct result of a poor economy. More than half of the prisoners are there on drug and alcohol related crimes. A poor economy breeds hopelessness, leading to possible drug and alcohol abuse. We need to attract higher paying manufacturing jobs to Belknap County. More jobs will lower the prison population, along with drug and mental health courts. Building more prison cells will raise taxes and will not encourage businesses to move to our county. Currently, Belknap County ranks 52 out of 3,145 counties nationwide on the percentage we pay of our income on property taxes. Do we have to be number one in the nation before some people think we are taxed enough? Please contact your State Representatives and ask them to vote “NO” on any additional money to hire a second consultant to do what the first one never accomplished. Ask your State Representative to recommend to the county, before they spend any money out of the current budget to pay for another consultant, they should mitigate any safety issues at the prison now. Please consider voting for me this November as your County Commissioner. We can work together, as a community, and decide how our tax dollars are best spent.

LETTERS Who put the world in orbit around the sun, to support life?
The president’s view of America is inclusive; Romney is elitist
To the editor, James Veverka has all the answers to all us common people who believe in Almighty God, and in Jesus Christ, God’s Son. Listen James, if you could explains all the owners of life, the universe, where did we all come from? Who put our world in orbit around the sun, to support life, if we were 250,000 miles closer to the sun there would be no life, just like the moon. James, God made everything (Gen. 1:26). Take note, God said, (Let us) make man our image, who was he talking to? Any answers? I believe it was Jesus Christ (John 1:1-4). James, before history, “God was” and be aware of this fact, the fool has said in his heart, there is no God (Psalm 14:1). I pray you are not among that group. Now, man gave us religions; God gave us his life; true Christians follow Jesus Christ and you can’t take away the experience they all have, they are all born again, “Let me explain.” You
To the editor, The vision that President Obama has for America is vastly different from that of Governor Romney. Each vision reflects each candidate’s background, their past life experiences and their view of the social contract, that unspoken rule that governs how we treat one another and create community. The president’s view is inclusive — he wants to make it possible for more people to join the middle class and have the security that a good education, a decent paying job and affordable health care coverage will make possible. He wants to create those decent jobs by investing in education, energy, innovation and infrastructure. His vision for the future includes reforming the tax code so that we keep good jobs in America, generate revenue to pay for those services that we all agree government must provide and responsibly pay down our debt. Everyone who is part of this great country, whether rich, poor, or somewhere in the middle, must follow the same rules and pay their fair share. As Americans we have the responsibility to care for one another, the environment we share and keep hope alive. Mitt Romney’s view of America seems to be quite different. His background of wealth and privilege, his
can read about love, talk about love, etc. but love has to be experience to be real. In other words, its better felt, than told. God is love and his love was given to us and because he lives, we live also. I was just like you James, a real Irish rebel. I did not like Christians. Like you I needed proof, history, etc. Then one day, November 2, 1963, one of your people, an American came to Belfast, Ireland, and preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I believed and my whole life was changed. Thank God I became a preacher of the Gospel. James, seek the Lord son, he loves you? He died for you, that you can be saved from you sins and be free from all the false religions of man. Last but not least read (1 Cor 1: 8-27) that says, James, you could be a great man of God and I pray that God will draw you to himself; let him open your eyes to the truth and Gods truth will set you free.

Palestinians live under the terror of radical religious fanatics To the editor, In Saturday’s paper, Janet Simmons, recently returned from Palestine, writes of the plight of the Palestinian people. Seeing first hand the poor and desperate conditions under which they must live must be a shock to American visitors as we have so much. We should all feel for them as they live under the terror of the radical religious fanatics of Hummus, the PLO, and other murderous Muslim Brotherhood groups. If it were not for such groups, who most resemble the KKK of old here in this country, the Palestinian people could have had peace and prosperity over and over. Israel would gladly live in peace with the Palatines if the terrorist gangs were not in charge and dominating their people. It’s a sorry state of affairs which effects the whole world. Too bad, too bad. Jack Stephenson seems to think I have been fooled by President Obama and his Chicago gang and somehow helped elect him to office. I was not
and did not and how anyone who reads my letters could get that impression is a mystery to me. Perhaps I am being to subtle in my criticism of the president. Hmm, nah, I think I hit pretty hard. Wonderful news, last month eighty thousand jobs were created in the U.S., the White House boasted. It’s moving in the right direction they proclaim. Isn’t that swell ? Except that graduations of high schools through university’s have just dumped a million or so kids into the jobs market. If thinking that eighty thousand is the right direction, well yes it is but then so it could be said of an Olympic sprinter falling on his face coming out of the blocks. Yea, right direction but sure not going to win any race. Hey readers, didn’t Obama promise to fix the economy, create jobs and such? Well another promise down the tubes and another reason to fire the guy in Nov. Steve Earle Hill

experience as a venture capitalist appear to lead him to a more elitist vision where those who have created wealth (no matter how selfishly) should be able to keep as much of it as possible. His version of tax reform seems to be (details are sketchy) to support the same policies that led to the deficits, made the economy go into the steepest recession since the Great Depression and devastated the middle class. Perhaps he doesn’t think we need more teachers, firefighters and policemen — those stalwarts of the middle class — because in his world the children go to private schools, the wealthy can pay for fire and police protection or live in gated communities. He and his friends can pay for the best health care the country can provide and it doesn’t really matter that so many Americans have no coverage. Mitt Romney hasn’t forgotten the world the rest of us live in — he has never been a part of it. His vision, based on his background and experience, is exclusive — it shuts out so many Americans from hope and opportunity. Please join me in supporting President Obama’s long-term vision for America. It would mean the world to me. Anne Rogers Meredith
Please become aware of this wonderful home nursing service To the editor, I’m an 87 year old senior. It seems like several times a year I wind up in the hospital emergency room followed by a couple days in the hospital. I can’t say anything but good things about the treatment and care I’e always received. However, long waits in the emergency room and sleeping in hospital beds are not my preference. I am more comfortable at home. On my last visit to the hospital a couple months ago my doctor prescribed Home Nursing. I had heard of Home Nursing,
but never thought it could be something I would need. I was pleasantly surprised with the medical attention, the therapy and other services. In the last two months they have saved me two additional trips to the emergency room. Not only was it better for me, but also saved Medicare about $15,000 a visit. Please be aware of this wonderful service. I wish I had used their service years ago. Gerard R. Morin Laconia

Gilford auction house owner still doesn’t have required permit; chief wants to chat By Gail OBer
GILFORD — Selectmen have delayed giving a Lakes Region Auction Services a permit for bi-weekly auctions after the police chief said he would like the owner to meet with one of his detectives to discuss what he said are some outstanding concerns. David Byer needs a permit to operate an auction facility in the Paugus Bay Plaza on Lake Street. Chief Kevin Keenan told selectmen Wednesday night he went to Byer’s Capital City Pawnshop in Laconia as part of an investigation into some property that was stolen during a burglary of a private home over the winter. He said he was researching some items that were sold to Byer and purchased by a second person. He said Byer produced the records he sought but the items he was looking for were not listed on the receipt although Byer and his employee said the same person had brought in the items on his list as
well as the items Keenan sought. Keenan said the driver’s license photograph of the supposed seller given to him by Byer was not the individual who sold the items he sought. “To this date we have been unable to identify the subject that sold these stolen items and bring this burglary to a close,” Keenan wrote in his statement recommending against approving Byer’s permit. “Proper record keeping would have greatly assisted.” Byer came up with the idea of creating his own market for some of the items he takes in by holding an auction every other Saturday morning at a space in the shopping center located across the street from Paugus Bay. In a recent interview about his new business, Byer said he chose an auction as a way of creating new markets for his goods because he loves the excitement of an auction. Byer was cited by Gilford Police for operating his May 26 auction without a license although Keenan said Byer
was told he needed to get a permit before holding it. Records show Lt. James Leach went to the auction site on May 26, found Byer open and operating and cited him for operating without a permit. “I came before the Planning Board and they said yes,” Byer told selectmen Wednesday speaking on his own behalf. “I had the auction. I thought that was all I had to do.” “I had the ball rolling. I was pretty sure I’d be getting a notice,” Byer said telling selectmen he has to have the auction to keep his people paid and his business afloat. In rebuttal, Keenan said “accuracy (of record keeping) was his concern” but will recommend Byer’s permit if his conditions are satisfied. He also said it is the responsibility of all business owners in Gilford to know what permits are required to operate. Byer replied by saying it was six weeks ago that Keenan came to his
Laconia store and this is the first time he’s heard about this. “Allow me to make it better. I can’t fix what I don’t know about,” he said telling selectmen he has invested in expensive software to operate his pawn shop and auction house and that “he doesn’t want stolen goods.” “I’m begging you guys,” he said telling them he can’t afford to go another two weeks without operating. According to the violation summons, Byer was ordered to appear in the N.H. 4th District Court, Laconia Division on July 5 to answer to charges of operating his auction without a permit but a clerk said yesterday that Byer didn’t come to court and is in default. Selectmen tabled his permit application but said they would consider it at their next meeting if he satisfies Keenan’s requirements. The town of Gilford enacted it pawn shop and second-hand store ordinance on March 28.
LHS BRICKS from page one turf” all-weather field of the same design played on by the New England Patriots. The artificial surface features dramatically improved drainage over natural grass, and perhaps more importantly, the ability for the field to be used all day, every day, by every one of the school’s athletic programs and by community members in between, without degrading in quality. That’s a stark contrast to the current situation. A sign posted near the school’s current natural grass field announces that it’s off-limits for any user, as the grass needs to rehabilitate in time for the fall sports season. “This is a multi-program field, we’d love to see everyone get involved,” said Craig Kozens, the school’s head football coach. For past football captains Brewer, Moss, Ford and Sands, the field seems like a dream come true. Even better, they have an oppor-
tunity to permanently memorialize their contribution to LHS football teams past. There is a limited availability of bricks, however. There will be a few hundred regular-sized bricks, which can be engraved with three lines of 15 characters, available for a $125 donation. For twice that amount, about 150 double-sized bricks are available and can be inscribed with twice as long a message as the single bricks. Those who donate $1,000 can sponsor one of 80 12-inch square granite pavers, which can be engraved with words, a graphic design, or both. To donate towards a brick, visit laconiaschools.org, where interested parties can pay via Paypal using a credit card. Check payments are also accepted. (Check should be made out to the Laconia School District and mailed to 39 Harvard Street, Laconia, NH 03246.)
Once all the bricks are spoken for, the district will have raised about $150,000 towards its goal. Bob Champlin, superintendent, noted that the individual donations won’t make as great a splash as contributions such as that of Bank of New Hampshire. Collectively, though, the brick sponsorships will go a long way towards reaching the goal. “When guys who have played here do a $125 brick, that is just as important,” he said. Alumni, he suspected, “they’re going to want something that says, I was here... brick by brick, that’s how things get done.” Being a part of the school’s football tradition was a significant part of his teenage years, said Ford, a member of the Class of 2005. “Growing up I had a little shaky (time), things at home weren’t always the best.” But things were different on the playing field.
“It was a place to feel safe, part of a family.” “Being able to give back to the community, I feel like I’m part of it again,” said Ford. “We were always saying it’s a family tradition,” said Sands, Class of ‘08. “More than sports, it’s being part of a family, now you can put your name along all the brothers you played with.” Moss, ‘07, added, “Football was what got my mind off everything else, doing the wrong things.” He appreciates the opportunity to help make that available to younger players. “It will give them something to look forward to and realize it’s a family thing, it’s not just about football.” “I think it’s a great way to bring the old to the new,” said Brewer, Class of ‘04. “A way to help out the future generations by the old.”

Temple B’Nai Israel’s Jewish Food Festival gets bigger & literally better every single year By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Now in its 15th year, Temple B’Nai Israel’s Jewish Food Festival, will be held Sunday, July 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will draw food lovers from all over the state, many of whom come from as far away as Manchester and the Seacoast. ‘’We’re expecting to serve at least 350 people,’’ says Irene Gordon, who for the past several weeks has been getting together a team of six to eight cooks who make the unique Jewish dishes which are based on recipes handed down through generations. ‘’Irene does everything. She starts working in March planning and shopping for the festival,’’ says Barbara Morgenstern, who handles publicity for the festival, which has become so popular around the state that it was even featured in the Hippo, a Manchester publication, three years ago. Morganstern says that one of the most frequently heard phrases at the cooking sessions is ‘’that’s the way my mother did it’’ as the team of cooks talks about their family recipes. Gordon, who says that her cooking skills come from the fact that she is ‘’a Jewish mother’’, says that all of those cooking for the festival take great pride in their cooking. ‘’Everything is home-made, made from scratch. There are no mixes here,’’ says Gordon. She says the festival features foods which reflect the Ashkenazi, Israeli and Sephardic traditions of Jewish cooking. Ashkenazi food, which originates in Europe, include chicken soup with matzo balls, barley soup, chopped liver and chopped herring. Then there’s corned beef and brisket sandwiches on rolls, sweet and sour meatballs, stuffed cabbage and potato

latkes. Another specialty is kugel, a Jewish casserole made with egg noodles and cheese that becomes custard-like. Knishes, pastries filled with meat or potato and which are similar to a Polish pierogi, are another favorite. Best sellers at the festival are the blintzes, crepes filled with farmer’s cheese and served with sour cream and strawberries. ‘’We’ll make at least 500,’’ says Gordon, who says that putting together the blintzes requires an assembly line of a half dozen people. The Israeli tradition is reflected in chickpea-based falafels and hummus as well as Israeli salad made with finely chopped tomatoes and cucumbers covered in spices. Sephardic foods, which reflect the spicy flavors of Spain, Portugal and North Africa, include Moroccan chicken with couscous, and spinach fritter. Jewish-style desserts, including rugelach, a crescent-shaped pastry made from cream cheese dough and filled with preserves and nuts, and New York style cheesecake. A variety of foods will be frozen so that they can be purchased on the day of the the festival. Call 267-1935 to place your advance orders for knishes, kugels, soups and latkes. There will also be a bakery filled with traditional and memorable cakes and pastries. Morganstern said that after people eat their fill, they can check out the Nearly New Boutique where there is always something to be found that they’ll want to take home with them. There are also raffle prizes donated by area restaurants and a plethora of tickets for local events. Raffle tickets are $1 for single ticket or $5 for six tickets.

Laconia native’s debut novel wraps fiction around intended real warning By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Don Morris, a Laconia native who now splits his time between California and Israel, has authored many textbooks throughout his career in academia. When he felt compelled to write a sincere warning to he fellow Americans, though, he and his coauthor had to step out of the world of non-fiction. “We make some critical statements, we use fiction as our tool,” said Morris. Morris, with co-author Michael Toro, wrote “The Lion of Justice,” published earlier this year by CreateSpace, a story about a detective attempting to unravel a terrorist plot before it reaches its devastating goal. While telling the fast-paced story, the authors use their expertise to illustrate their belief that Americans are making dangerous mistakes that have allowed terrorist organizations to infiltrate and influence all arenas of American society. Morris brings decades of experience studying terrorism as an academic, while Toro, who writes under a nom de plume, is informed from the perspective of a law enforcement officer. In “The Lion of Justice,” which is intended to be the first book of a trilogy, they portray a world where crime on the streets of California raises revenue for international terrorist organizations, who use the funds to recruit and train new soldiers. Meanwhile, administrators of police departments are obsessed with political correctness to the point that they reflexively throw open their doors to any group in the name of cultural sensitivity, and investigative resources are reduced or re-directed to more politically-palatable endeavors. In the authors’ tale, Islamic terrorist organizations take advantage of this paranoia of being considered racist or insensitive in order to further their violent goals. Morris said, “The basis of our book is to show what the possible outcomes are if this goes unabated.” The authors also present a world they believe is more complicated than is reflected in America’s understanding of it, especially where it comes to Islam. “A concern that both Michael and I have is that the characterization by some media types have is condemning all of Islam — that’s not what our experiences have been,” said Morris. Indeed, their experience has been quite the opposite, as many successful counter-terrorism efforts have featured Muslims playing critical roles. To reflect that reality, the main character of their book is a Muslim-American detective. “We think he’s the first Muslim-American hero see next page
Sign of an Eagle Scout in the making Casey Walker of Laconia Boy Scout Troop 68 puts the final screw into a sign into one of buildings at St. Andre Bessette Parish Center. Walker, who has enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp. created the signs as part of his Eagle Scout project. Working in conjunction with Father Mark Drouin, Walker made nearly 21 signs each depicting a different saint and with the help of his friends and family installed them outside different rooms over the past two days.

SCAM from page 2 automated phone call informing them of the nonexistent utility program that will supposedly pay up to $1,000. There have also been reports of the hoax spreading by text message, flyers left at homes and even personal visits. Victims are told that all they have to do is provide their personal information. In exchange, they are given a bank routing number and checking account number to provide their utility company when making a payment. The swindle works because the payments with the fake bank account number are initially accepted. Only when the payments are processed hours or days later is the fake number caught and rejected. But by then, victims have told friends about the WHEELS from page 3 “It’s great to be in a position to help out,” said Hosmer, who credited the Gaudet family, his wife Donna, her father Paul and brother Dennis, for their willingness to help those in need. “The community has supported our business for 20 years and we welcome the opportunity to give something back.” “I’ve never seen a community like Tilton,” Alden declared. “I’ve seen miracles happen here.”
offer, posted it online and, most important, turned over personal information that could allow con artists to dip into their bank accounts or steal their identity. There’s no way to accurately measure how many people have been affected, “but this one feels like it’s pretty widespread,” Hutt said. Taneisha Morris’ sister was drawn into the hoax after a friend received a text promising federal assistance with her bills. The sister sent the information to Morris, a Detroit woman who is unemployed after losing her job as a manager at a KFC restaurant. Morris quickly took advantage, providing her Social Security number and asking for $187 toward her DirecTV bill and $800 toward what she owed DTE Energy, a Michigan utility. “It was very disappointing to me,” Morris said Thursday after learning she had been deceived. “They shouldn’t do that to people. I just lost my job in February, so it’s very hard for me to come up with extra money.” It wasn’t clear whether law enforcement agencies were investigating. A message left with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington was not immediately returned. The first reports of the hoax surfaced in the spring and spiked in May and early July. Utilities and Better Business Bureau offices swiftly issued warnings.

Waukewan group registers name long used by town’s watershed advisory group By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — The scrap over trade names between two private, non-profit organizations, claimed an innocent bystander when, in May, Janan Hays, vice-chair of the Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association registered the trade name of the Waukewan Watershed Advisory Committee, which was established by the town government, with the N.H. Secretary of State. In so doing she was apparently seeking to stymie the effort of the Waukewan Shore Owners Association to change its name. Randy Eifert, chairman of the committee, was surprised to discover yesterday that among halfa-dozen trade names Hays registered in May was that of his committee, which reports to the Board of Selectmen. Since the two groups began feuding, Eifert distanced himself from the fray while advising the media not to confuse the committee with either organization. He said that when he learned of the filing he brought the matter to the attention of Meredith Town Manager Phil Warren and Com-
munity Development Director John Edgar. Officials of both non-profit organizations refused to speak to their differences on the record. In 2009, as the debate over the operating level of Lake Waukewan was beginning to divide shorefront property owners, a group that favored lowering the level, registered as as the “Friends of Waukewan and Winona Association,” with the New Hampshire Secretary of State. On July 12, 2011, Hays, on behalf of the “Friends,” also registered the trade name “Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association,” which appears on the groups’ newsletter and letterhead. Soon afterwards, the Waukewan Shore Owners Association, which first registered as a non-profit corporation in 1989 and favored a higher lake level, applied to do business as the “Waukewan Watershed Association.” However, the Secretary of State found the name too similar to that of the Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association and denied the application as an infringement on its trade name. The shore owners were advised that they could only use the name with the expressed AVALANCHE from page 2
from preceding page in this genre.” Morris said the point is simple, “Not all Muslims are bad people.” Yet, they feel it is just as dangerous to believe the opposite, that all Islamic groups are well-intentioned. They fear that some institutions, be they law enforcement or educational, make just that mistake. They’ve seen police departments in California allow Muslim organizations put officers through “educational programs” about how to interact with members of the Islamic community. “They let them come in without vetting the organizations,” Morris said. Jake Hakam, the story’s hero, must battle a lethargic, distracted law enforcement bureaucracy as well as sniff out a developing terrorist plot. Morris said, “The question is, can he stop the attacks before they occur?” “The Lion of Justice” is available for purchase on Amazon.com. See lionofjustice.com for more information. Morris said he and Toro set out to “write a story that allows us to begin a dialogue in America that’s worth beginning... We believe we’ve created a very entertaining story. The question we put to Americans: Who are you going to listen to, and why are you listening to them?”
the council said on its website. Current BMC head Dave Turnbull praised Payne as one of Britain’s most notable climbers with expeditions from the Alps to the Himalayas. An initial report of four missing was lowered to two, and officials noted the numbers of those involved in the drama could vary because some climbers may have struck out on their own. A group of 28 were known to have left a mountain refuge for the ascent. Close to 90 people were involved in the search. Among the dozen injured was an American, the only known non-European. A seriously injured Swiss citizen was transported to a Swiss hospital. Early summer storms apparently left behind heavy snow that combined with high winds to form dangerous overhanging conditions on some of the popular climbing routes around Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in western Europe. Regional authorities had warned climbers earlier this summer to be careful because of an unusually snowy spring. The Mont Blanc massif is a popular area for climbers, hikers and tourists but a dangerous one, with dozens dying on it each year. Chamonix, a top center for climbing, hosted the first Winter Olympics in 1924.
GATES from page 2 Gates was accused of reauthorizing his daughter’s internship at the department while full-time employees were being laid off. His daughter was eventually laid off. The workers accused Reardon and Gates of violating the state’s anti-nepotism law and executive branch ethics rules. Without mentioning the complaint, Reardon suggested in a statement Wednesday that the complaint stems from some disgruntled department employees, and said that stepping down was best for the department as she defends herself “from these attacks.” Gates did not return phone and email messages, and a phone number listed for a Darrell Gates in Auburn was out of service. A phone message to the main office of Employment Security was not immediately returned.

consent of the other organization. The Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association flatly refused to grant permission to use the name. Nevertheless, the shore owners began operating as the “Waukewan Watershed Association” and as recently as this week announced the upcoming annual meeting under that title. In June, David Reilly and Deborah Corr, co-chairs of the “Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association, advised media outlets that in representing themselves as the “Waukewan Watershed Association” the shore owners were in violation of state law. RSA 292:3 stipulates that a corporate name “shall be distinguishable from, and not the same as, or likely to be confused with or mistaken for: . . . the name of an entity incorporated, authorized, formed, or registered to do business in this state.” The statute further provides that the Secretary of State may authorize a corporation to use such a name only if the holder of the original name consents. Meanwhile, on May 18, 2012 Hays, representing the “Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protection Association” and acting on its behalf, apparently sought to stymy the shore owners by filing the trade name “Waukewan Watershed Association,” along with other permutations of the monniker — “Waukewan and Winona Environmental Conservation Association,” “Waukewan and Winona Lakes see next page

Restoration of lighthouse was labor of love for Crystal Lake residents By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILMANTON IRON WORKS — It may be only about eight feet tall, and its beacon may be only a faint glimmer compared to fixtures on seacoasts around the world, but the lighthouse on the shore of Crystal Lake meant something to Bob Miclette and Ed Bartlett, both of whom live on the small, scenic lake with views of the Belknap range to the north. When it blew down over the winter, they decided to take the matter into their own, capable hands, investing a month of their talents in its restoration. Thanks to their work, the lighthouse was back in place in time for the Fourth of July. Miclette, who works as a caretaker of the property where the lighthouse was located, noticed in February that the structure had fallen when taking a February walk around the lake. The glass top had smashed due to the collision but the tower seemed to be in salvageable condition. So, he spoke with the owner and offered to volunteer his services, as well as those of friend Ed Bartlett, to give the lighthouse a quick fix-up. As these things often go, though, the quick job turned into a thorough re-build. “Originally, we were just going to replace the top,” recalled Miclette. However, one thing led to another, and after a month of labor from each of the men, augmented by supplies furnished by Belmont Glass and fellow lakeside resident Briggs Buchanan, the Crystal Lake lighthouse has been completely rebuilt, from top-to-bottom, from the pouring of a very solid concrete footing to a custom-built top. Bartlett provided the woodworking, while Miclette did the concrete work as well as the painting, including a red, barber’s-pole stripe. Re-installed, the lighthouse activates at sundown and swivels its light around the lake until just about midnight. Although it only features a 25-watt bulb, Miclette and Bartlett said it can be seen from nearly every lakeside home. Why was it worth the two men’s effort? “First of all, it was his idea,” said Bartlett, gesturing toward from preceding page Preservation Association,” “Waukewan and Winona Lakes Region Watershed Association,” and “Waukewan and Winona Natural Resources Conservation Association” — as well as the “Waukewan Watershed Advisory Committee.” The Waukewan Watershed Advisory Committee was established by the Town of Meredith in 2004. It consists of 16 members, representing each of the five towns in the watershed — Ashland, Center Harbor, Holderness, Meredith and New Hampton — appointed by the Meredith Board of Selectmen. In 2005, the committee issued a Management Plan for the Waukewan Watershed. According to the town’s website, “the committee provides an organizational structure for citizens and local officials from the five (5) watershed communities to facilitate implementation of the Management Plan for the Waukewan Watershed.” The statute governing trade names also prohibits corporations from taking “the name of an agency or instrumentality of the United States or this state or a subdivision thereof.”

Miclette. Bartlett’s services were volunteered before he even agreed to the effort, he explained. However, the project got under his skin once he looked into the small structure and its need for attention. “Then I got interested. The more I got interested, the more he got interested.” Bartlett had initially planned to simply replace rotten boards, but then he realized
that he had enough scrap lumber on hand to rebuild the whole thing, and off he went. The project was a lot of work, but seeing the lighthouse back in operation — and looking better than it did before — is reward enough for Miclette. “It’s a part of our lake, that’s what hit me about doing it,” he said.
Congress furious Olympic uniforms made in China
WASHINGTON (AP) — Uniforms for U.S. Olympic athletes are American red, white and blue — but made in China. That has members of Congress fuming. Republicans and Democrats railed Thursday about the U.S. Olympic Committee’s decision to dress the U.S. team in Chinese manufactured berets, blazers and pants while the American textile industry struggles economically with many U.S. workers desperate for jobs. “I am so upset. I think the Olympic committee should be ashamed of themselves. I think they should be embarrassed. I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference on taxes. “If they have to wear nothing but a singlet that says USA on it, painted by hand, then that’s what they should wear,” he said, referring to an athletic jersey. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told report-
ers at her weekly news conference that she’s proud of the nation’s Olympic athletes, but “they should be wearing uniforms that are made in America.” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said simply of the USOC, “You’d think they’d know better.” In a statement, the U.S. Olympic Committee defended the choice of designer Ralph Lauren for the clothing at the London Games, which begin later this month. “Unlike most Olympic teams around the world, the U.S. Olympic Team is privately funded and we’re grateful for the support of our sponsors,” USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement.

Land & Community Heritage Investment Program announces grant round 11 CONCORD — The Board of Directors of the New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program announces the availability of grants for land conservation and historic preservation projects. Requests for funding are due on September 7. “LCHIP is very pleased to provide this grant round,” says LCHIP Board Chair Rusty McLear. “We are able to hold this small grant round because several earlier projects did not use all the money we set aside for them or returned previous grant money.” The state budget adopted for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (July 2011 – June 2013) does not include any funds for LCHIP grants. The Grant Round 11 application will be available on the LCHIP website (www.lchip.org) the week of July 9. Applicants must meet LCHIP eligibility requirements and enroll the proposed project on the LCHIP Land and Community Heritage Register (LCH) on the LCHIP website. At least 50% of the total project cost must come from sources other than the LCHIP grant. With total available funds of $500,000 for this grant round, applicants are encouraged to seek no more than $150,000 from LCHIP for land conservation projects and $50,000 for historic preservation projects. Two application writing workshops will be held on July 18, both at the historic Ashland School (an
LCHIP project) in Ashland. The workshop for the Historic Resource Application will be held from 10 a.m. to noon and that for the Natural Resource Application will be from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. At least one person from each organization seeking to apply for funding must attend the applicable workshop, unless they have done so in a previous grant round. Register for the workshop by emailing the participant’s name, organization, contact information, project name and which workshop the participant will attend to officemgr@lchip.org. LCHIP will confirm registration and further details for workshop participants. The New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program is an independent state authority that provides matching grants to New Hampshire communities and non-profits in an effort to protect and preserve the state’s most important natural, cultural and historic resources. Its legislatively mandated mission is to ensure the perpetual contribution of these resources to the economy, environment and the quality of life in New Hampshire. LCHIP funds have helped 141 New Hampshire communities conserve 263,000 acres and 126 historic structures and sites to date, investing $27 million and leveraging more than $236 million in total project value. For more information about LCHIP visit www.lchip.org or call (603) 224-4113.

Vegan barbecue at Tilton Island Park on Sunday TILTON — It’s that time of year when everyone’s firing up the grill and filling the air with smells of sizzling burgers and hot dogs. But there’s a different kind of barbecue going on this Sunday, July 15 fom 1-5 p.m. at Tilton Island Park: a vegan barbecue. But Louisa Dell’Amico believes she can cook up a barbecue that will satisfy even the most hard-core carnivores among us. “There are so many delicious meat substitutes on the market today that I think we can find something to satisfy just about everyone’s taste. Things have changed quite a bit over the past 20 years, and we have a lot more vegan options available today. This BBQ is open to the public and free samples of vegan ‘hamburgers’, ‘hot dogs’, ‘sausages’, and ‘beef’ and vegetable shish kebabs,” will be available.
The picnic will also include a potluck for those who would like to bring a vegan dish to share. “In addition to the free grill samples, I think we have people bringing a fruit salad, a pasta & avocado salad, potato salad, and chocolate chip cookies so far, and I might try a new recipe for a coconut-lemon bundt cake,” said Dell’Amico. Those who would like to come to the potluck are asked to bring a vegan (no meat, fish, dairy, eggs, or honey) dish for 6-8 people, serving utensils, and their recipe on an index card. For those who don’t cook much and are looking for ideas, or to RSVP, contact louisa@metrocast.net or call 729-0248 (please include your recipe). Rain date: Sunday, July 22, same time and location. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.

Santana playing Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion
GILFORD — Never before seen on the Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion stage, the ‘Brook is happy to welcome the legend himself, Carlos Santana on Wednesday, July 18. Tickets are still available and range from $35.25-$95.25. To order, call (603) 293-4700 or log on to www.meadowbrook.net. They don’t come more legendary than Santana, who’s been captivating audiences for decades with his unique sound that seems to blur the lines between jazz and blues. The son of a mariachi violinist, young Carlos was playing the violin by age five and strumming a guitar shortly thereafter. In 1965, after talking his way into shows, Carlos formed the Santana Blues Band in 1966. The band’s heady concoction of West Coast soul, Latin percussion, groovy organ, and Carlos’ stratospheric lead guitar was an immediate sensation and by 1967, they were known simply as Santana. When their debut album, Evil Ways, was discovered by Top 40 radio in early 1970, the album jumped to #4 on its
way to double-platinum and the #150 spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums list. The debut’s success was eclipsed at the end of 1970 when “Oye Como Va” and “Black Magic Woman” sent Abraxas to #1 for 6 weeks; the Grammy Hall Of Fame album has sold more than 5 million copies to date in the U.S. alone. This year marks the fifth year of the Greenerpalooza concert and Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion’s opportunity to educate and raise awareness of “greener” efforts within New Hampshire’s business environment. Helping to lead the charge in greener living are the returning title sponsors; PSNH and the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development. The highlight of Greenerpalooza is the eco-village in the midway, where over a dozen green businesses and agencies can display products and services that will help you take one step closer to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Blackstones hosts John Abercrombie Trio July 18 LACONIA — Blackstones Jazz & Spirits will host guitar legend John Abercrombie on July 18 at 8 p.m. at the Margate Resort in Laconia. General admission tickets are $12. Tickets may be purchased in advance through the Margate front desk, and will be available at the door. To purchase tickets call the Margate at (603) 524-5210, or visit www.theMargate.com Over a career spanning more than 40 years and nearly 50 albums, John Abercrombie has established himself as one the masters of jazz guitar. Favoring unusual sounds, Abercrombie is a restless experimenter, working firmly in the jazz tradition while pushing the boundaries of meter and harmony. Throughout the 1990s and into 2000 and beyond, Abercrombie has continued to pluck from the ranks of jazz royalty (and be plucked for guest appearances on other artists’ recordings) culminating on critically-acclaimed recordings and tours with Ralph Towner, John Scofield, Joe Beck, Jan Gar-
barek, Eddie Gomez, and many others. Abercrombie keeps up a heavy touring schedule while maintaining a record contract with the renowned record label ECM, a relationship that has spanned 30 years. As he told one interviewer, “I’d like people to perceive me as having a direct connection to the history of jazz guitar, while expanding some musical boundaries.” That, no doubt, will be his legacy. Abercrombie will perform in Laconia with bassist Jared Gold and drummer Bob Meyer. The concert is produced by NH Jazz Presents / Concert & Festival Productions. All NH Jazz performances have a concert listening policy, which prohibits talking, texting, cell phones, video/ audio recording, laptop computers, gaming units, and cameras during the performance.

Crunchy Western Boys playing at Rotary Park in Laconia July 18 LACONIA — The Crunchy Western Boys Band will take to the bandstand in Rotary Park, adjacent to the Belknap Mill on Beacon St. in downtown Laconia on Wed. July 18 at 7 p.m. for a free to the public concert. Spectators can bring a lawnchair or blanket to sit in the park and enjoy the music as well as some tasty barbecue by MacDaddy’s Rollin’ Smoke Barbecue. Playing only acoustic instruments banjos, fiddles, harmonicas, guitars and such - the band delivers roots-y tunes with lyrics that depart from the usual bluegrass themes. Their original songs, which dominate their concerts, talk of things like forbidden attraction, cold New Hampshire days and enduring love. There are some melancholy themes within those songs. “Driving With the Windows Down” doesn’t just muse on the joy of cruising in a pick-up truck but mourns, among other things, the loss of farm lands to planned communities. During the concert, the smokin’ hot and popular MacDaddy’s Rollin Smoke Barbecue will be selling all
sorts of barbecued and smoked foods from their barbecue truck next to the Mill. “The Crunchy Western Boys have tasted our barbecue in the past and they liked it so it’s a great mix with the western music,” says Gavin MacDonald, co-owner of MacDaddy’s. The concert is sponsored by WEMJ, Franklin Savings Bank, Tyler Graphics, Laconia Antique Center and MacDaddy’s Rollin’ Smoke Barbecue and presented by the Belknap Mill. Upcoming concerts include Moulton’s Band on Monday, Aug. 6 and Annie and the Orphans on Aug. 29. All concerts are free to the public and held in Rotary Park in Laconia and begin at 7 p.m. The Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered brick textile mill building in the country and is designated as the Meetinghouse of NH.

The Belknap Mill is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a well-stocked gift shop, a Wheel House permanent exhibit and many public events.

Best of show in Belmont

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis that has yet to be dealt with effectively. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). So many friends and family members have claims on your time that you’re feeling a little overwhelmed. Slow down, take a breather, and try to prioritize so no one feels left out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The unconscious is an extremely important part of your psyche and not to be underestimated now. Strive to create the kind of peaceful environment that fosters a sense of safety on all levels. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Loved ones will require patience. This means more than you waiting around for them to get with the program. This is you waiting around with a smile on your face ready to assist in whatever way is needed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). That shaft of light on your cheeks is the sun elbowing recent storm clouds out of the way to say hello. Be sure to lift your face up and say hello right back. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have more information than you know what to do with, but this is not a time for sharing. Loose lips are dangerous. The fish who keeps his mouth shut won’t get caught. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 13). Few work harder than you to make other people’s lives better. This year, the work you do for others makes your own life better in rather obvious ways. Gifts and surprises trickle in over the next four weeks. There’s a financial boost in August. You’ll commune with nature in September. A windfall happens in January. Taurus and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 4, 33, 15 and 39.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). As the song goes, honesty is such a lonely word -- and you may be feeling quite isolated in your current position as Minister of Truth. But stick to your guns. Soon you’ll find yourself in a vast crowd of sincerity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a bit of a spook factor for you during this Friday the 13th. Some “ghosts” are uninvited guests, but others bring fond memories. Don’t let those memories slip away amid the bustle of daily life. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know how you tend to think of strangers who remember your name in a warm and friendly light? Well, strangers will think of you that way, too, because you bothered to commit their names to memory. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Negative thoughts are like chocolates with an automatic draw: Sometimes you don’t even realize you’re having one until you’ve taken a bite. Don’t be afraid to put that bitter little bon-bon back in the box. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A relationship you recently put on hold is suddenly clamoring for your attention. Give it lavishly now, or you might soon turn around to find this interest has wandered off in search of an embrace. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Go on and follow that strange whim you have today. If you’re not too careful, you will become a master of a very unusual craft, appreciated by many and understood by few. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A funny feeling lingers around your day. Though you may not be aware of the reasons behind this sensation, it has influence. This may be indicative of a past event

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, July 13, the 195th day of 2012. There are 171 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 13, 1787, the Congress of the Confederation adopted the Northwest Ordinance, which established a government in the Northwest Territory, an area corresponding to the present-day Midwest and Upper Midwest. On this date: In 1793, French revolutionary writer Jean-Paul Marat was stabbed to death in his bath by Charlotte Corday, who was executed four days later. In 1812, New York became the first U.S. city to adopt regulations on how pawnbrokers could conduct business. In 1863, deadly rioting against the Civil War military draft erupted in New York City. (The insurrection was put down three days later.) In 1923, a sign consisting of 50-foot-tall letters spelling out “HOLLYWOODLAND” was dedicated in the Hollywood Hills to promote a subdivision (the last four letters were removed in 1949). In 1939, Frank Sinatra made his first commercial recording, “From the Bottom of My Heart” and “Melancholy Mood,” with Harry James and his Orchestra for the Brunswick label. In 1960, John F. Kennedy won the Democratic presidential nomination on the first ballot at his party’s convention in Los Angeles. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Thurgood Marshall to be U.S. solicitor general. In 1972, George McGovern received the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s convention in Miami Beach. In 1977, a blackout lasting 25 hours hit the New York City area. In 1978, Lee Iacocca was fired as president of Ford Motor Co. by chairman Henry Ford II. In 1985, “Live Aid,” an international rock concert in London, Philadelphia, Moscow and Sydney, took place to raise money for Africa’s starving people. In 1999, Angel Maturino Resendiz, suspected of being the “Railroad Killer,” surrendered in El Paso, Texas. (Resendiz was executed in 2006.) One year ago: California became the first state in the nation to add lessons about gays and lesbians to social studies classes in public schools under a measure signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Three coordinated bombings in India’s busy financial capital killed 26 people in the worst terror attack in the country since the 2008 Mumbai siege. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Patrick Stewart is 72. Actor Robert Forster is 71. Actor Harrison Ford is 70. Singer-guitarist Roger McGuinn (The Byrds) is 70. Actor-comedian Cheech Marin is 66. Actress Daphne Maxwell Reid is 64. Actress Didi Conn is 61.

Page 24 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, July 13, 2012
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My parents divorced acrimoniously when my siblings and I were young. My brother, “Tim,” was a difficult child and was arrested when he was 11. The local law officials offered the option of handing custody to my father as an option to avoid a sentence to juvenile hall. Once my father had custody, my sister and I had very little contact with either of them. My sister and I occasionally have tried to reconcile with Tim for our mother’s sake, but we have been unsuccessful. Our mother is 70 and now wants to put her legal affairs in order. After our father’s death, my sister and I were cut out of Dad’s will. After the death of our paternal grandmother, Tim was found to be the sole heir to her estate. It surprised the other relatives because the change in her will happened only a short time before her death. My mother’s will and other legal documents show she intends her estate to be divided equally between my sister and myself, with Tim receiving a small token amount. My mother also asks that my brother not be notified of her death until six months have passed and preferably not until the estate is settled. Mom doesn’t want him to show up, loot the house, put on a show of grief for the community and then disappear. My mother has worked hard, unsupported by anyone, to earn every single thing she has, and I want to honor her wishes. But my sister says Tim should be allowed to attend Mom’s funeral. We haven’t been in contact for four years. I am willing to go along with the funeral part, but refuse to allow him in her house. What do you think? -- Funerals Are for the Living Dear Funerals: There are legitimate reasons why your mother does not want Tim in her house, and you should honor those wishes. Having him at the funeral is something you
should discuss with her. If the possibility of him displaying some artificial show of grief won’t bother you or your sister, your mother might reconsider notifying him in a more timely manner. But the final decision actually is the responsibility of those who plan the funeral, because they must live with the consequences. Dear Annie: I have been in an on-again-off-again relationship with “Dexter” for two years. I was still married when we got together, but was divorced six months ago. My ex lives in another state. Dex was engaged once before for five years, but called it off. The problem is, when Dex and I talk about our future, he gets distant, although he has said he sees us getting married down the road. I asked him to move in with me, and he did, but now I’m starting to wonder whether he would rather the relationship continue as it is. Is it wrong for me to want him to man up or move on? -- Confused Dear Confused: If you want marriage, you’ll have to make it clear to Dex and set a date. If he backs away, you will know where he stands -- and it isn’t beside you in front of a minister. Dear Annie: “Surprised Husband” has been married for 45 years, and for the past 10, he’s been upset because friends told him unpleasant things about his wife before he married her, and she refuses to discuss it. What his wife did before he knew her is none of his business. Every person in this world makes mistakes. I’d tell him to go out and get a life. Volunteer, go to church, get a part-time job, and put the past behind you. Life is too short. I have been married for 45 years to my dear husband. Not once did either of us question the other’s past. If I were this man’s wife, I would get out of this marriage and find happiness elsewhere. -- Appalled at His Behavior
