Closely divided Belknap County Convention agrees to raise another $160k to pay for consultant to design jail program

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — By the narrowest of margins the Belknap County Convention yesterday approved the request of the Belknap County Commission for a supplemental appropriation of $160,000 to engage a

consultant to assist with planning the development of a community corrections program and construction of a new county jail.

With one of the 18 members of the delegation — all Republicans — absent, the vote was nine-to-eight. Voting in the

majority to authorize the appropriation were Representatives Don Flanders and Frank Tilton of Laconia, Peter Bolster and Jeffrey St. Cyr of Alton, Elaine Swinford of Barnstead, Jim Pilliod of Belmont, Alida Millham, who chairs the delegation, of Gilford, Dave Russell of Gilmanton

and Dennis Fields of Sanbornton.

90-year-old Maine man skydives for the first time

PITTSFIELD, Maine (AP) — A Maine man who learned how to use a parachute as a Navy pilot during World War II has finally made his first jump — at age 90.

Lester Slate of Exeter jumped out of a plane for the first time on Sunday at Pittsfield Airport and was guided to the ground by a tandem jumper, and accompanied by another skydiver trailing a U.S. flag.

The jump was a 90th birthday present to himself. More than 50 family and friends watched.

Slate tells the Bangor Daily News he was inspired by former president George H.W. Bush, who jumped from an airplane on his 85th birthday in 2009.

Slate says he had such a good time he wants to do it again — on his 95th or 100th birthday.

Paterno family says it will fund its own investigation (AP) — Joe Paterno’s family on Monday vowed its own investigation of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, rejecting the findings of a special investigator who concluded the late football coach and other top Penn State administrators concealed Sandusky’s abuse to shield the university from bad publicity.

“Our interest has been and remains the uncovering of the truth,” the family said in a statement.

The family characterized the 267-page report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was hired by the university’s board of trustees, as “yet another shocking turn of events in this crisis” and said Paterno, who died in January at age 85, did not knowingly protect a pedophile.

“We are dismayed by, and vehemently disagree with, some of the conclusions and assertions and the process by which they were developed,” the statement said. “Mr.

Freeh presented his opinions and interpretations as if they were absolute facts.”

Sandusky awaits sentencing after being convicted last month of abusing 10 boys.

He has maintained his innocence.

Freeh, citing emails and handwritten notes, concluded that Paterno intervened to stop a plan by three top Penn State officials to report a 2001 allegation against Sandusky to child-welfare authorities. The see PATERNO page 13

CINCINNATI (AP) — Using unusually vivid language, Mitt Romney tried to take the political offensive against President Barack Obama on Monday, accusing Obama of cronyism that “stinks” in steering federal contracts to supporters. He also dropped hints through a spokesman that a vice presidential pick could come any day.

Unfazed, Obama needled his Republican rival for finally having a job-creation plan — for people overseas.

At the same time, though Romney endeavored to switch the campaign focus, questions about his tenure at Bain Capital, a venture capital company, seemed destined to shape the conversation at least a while longer. On a day devoted mainly to raising money, Romney went on Fox News to complain that all Obama can do “is attack me” on Bain and other subjects rather than taking useful steps to improve the economy.

Sure enough, the Democratic incumbent showed no sign of letting up.

Rallying for support in crucial Ohio, Obama said Romney’s proposal to free companies from taxes on their foreign holdings would displace American workers. The president cited a study he said concluded that “Gov. Romney’s economic plan would in fact create 800,000 jobs. There’s only one problem, the jobs wouldn’t be in America.” see CAMPAIGN page 4

WASHINGTON (AP) — The outlook for the U.S. economy appeared dimmer Monday after a report that Americans spent less at retail businesses for a third straight month in June.

The report led some economists to downgrade their estimates for economic growth in the April-June quarter. Many now think

the economy grew even less than in the first quarter of the year, when it expanded at a sluggish 1.9 percent annual rate.

Spending in June fell in nearly every major category — from autos, furniture and appliances to building, garden supplies and department stores. Overall, retail sales slid 0.5 percent from May to June, the

Commerce Department said.

Retail sales hadn’t fallen for three straight months since the fall of 2008, at the height of the financial crisis.

The weak U.S. spending figures were released on the same day that the International Monetary Fund slightly lowered see ECONOMY page 10

Interim leader sworn in for scandal-rocked Department of Employment Security

CONCORD (AP) — Labor Commissioner George Copadis was sworn in Monday as interim head of the state’s scandal-rocked Department of Employment Security, and Gov. John Lynch said he expects Copadis will have “a calming effect” on the agency.

Last week, Commissioner Tara Reardon resigned and Deputy Commissioner Darrell Gates was suspended amid allegations they manipulated the system to obtain unemployment benefits for their daughters.

The Executive Council approved the appointment of Copadis at an emergency meeting Monday, and Copadis was sworn in minutes later. His appoint-

ment is for six months or until a successor is appointed.

Lynch confirmed Monday that he and the Executive Council sought Reardon’s resignation after being briefed by Attorney General Michael Delaney about the allegations that stem from a whistleblower complaint filed by several employment security workers in January.

“I think the allegations are very serious,” Lynch said Monday. “They’re allegations of nepotism, conflict of interest and misuse of federal dollars.”

Copadis has been Labor Commissioner since 2004 and has worked closely with the employment secu-

Shaheen & Ayotte honor submarine firefighters

PORTSMOUTH (AP) — New Hampshire’s U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte on Monday honored the first responders who helped contain the fire that badly damaged a submarine at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in May. Shaheen and Ayotte presented the Senate resolution they and other New England senators sponsored to commend the first responders at a ceremony at Prescott Park in Portsmouth.

“I’m so honored to be here today to recognize everyone who showed so much courage on that day,” Ayotte said.

WMUR-TV reported Shaheen recalled hearing about the thick, black smoke the first responders had to deal with. Also on hand to thank the crew was David Lang, president of the Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire.

Last week, the Navy convened a special panel to investigate the May 23 fire that damaged the USS Miami while it was in dry dock for an overhaul at the shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The investigation was ordered by U.S. Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Va. The fire started when an industrial vacuum cleaner sucked up a heat source that ignited debris inside the vacuum, officials say.

Early estimates put the fire damage at $400 million. It damaged the torpedo room, crew quarters, and command and control areas.

“Obviously it’s a challenge,” Copadis said Monday.

“I think I’m up for the challenge. I just want to help the department move forward.”

Copadis said his first goal is to meet with agency employees and “calm their fears.”

Reardon suggested in a statement last week that the whistleblower-complaint stems from some disgruntled department employees. Gates has not returned calls and emails seeking comment.

Couple living in woods off Lake Street both charged with assault after fracas

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — An argument over a lost cell phone charger was the apparent cause of a domestic fight that led to a local homeless woman allegedly stabbing her also homeless boyfriend in the arm with a steak knife.

The two, Pamela J. Griffiths, 45, and Michael A. Saritelli, were staying in a tent in the woods behind behind Paugus Bay Plaza when they started arguing early Saturday morning, according to police affidavits obtained from the N.H. 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

While Griffiths told police she stabbed Saritelli in self-defense because he was hitting her, Saritelli said Griffiths was very drunk and began waving the steak knife around — stabbing at the tent eventually stabbing him in the arm.

Marsh stayed with Saritelli until he was treated and then took him to the police station where he was charged with one count of simple assault.

After being arraigned via video in court this morning, Griffiths was ordered held on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and $100 cash bail.

she put everything she was aware of in the complaint.

tributors to his campaign. And that is smelly at best. It stinks.”

Romney aides cited some well-known cases, such as Solyndra, a California solar energy company that went bankrupt, and some less-publicized cases.

They include Westly Group, a venture capital firm whose affiliated companies have received federal loans and grants.

Steve Westly, the company’s founder, is a major Obama campaign fundraiser.

Gilmanton woman at Dartmouth after late night crash

BELMONT — A Gilmanton woman remains at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center after she was partially thrown from the car she was driving when it left the highway near 393 Province Road, just east of the intersection with Leavitt Road shortly before 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Susan Ward, 44, of Weeks Road in Gilmanton was pinned between her vehicle, a 1998 Chevrolet Prizm, and the ground when police and firefighters from Belmont and Laconia reached the scene. Firefighters freed Ward from her car and transported her to Lakes Region General Hospital. She was subsequently taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Hospital officials were not authorized to release information on her condition.

Police, assisted by the Belknap County Regional Accident Investigation Team, are investigating seeking to discover what caused the accident. Anyone with information about the incident should contact

But not everyone in America is doing so well right now,” he said. “The waiters and waitresses that come in and out of this room and offer us refreshments — they’re not having a good year.”

Romney, who struggled during the GOP primary to explain his suggestion that he doesn’t care about the nation’s very poor, spoke directly to the poor Monday.

“We’re the party of people who want to get rich,” he said. “And we’re also the party of people who want to care to help people from getting poor. We want to help the poor.”

the investigating officer, Corporal Adam Hawkins, at 267-8351. est, top Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told The Associated Press that the campaign may announce a vice presidential choice by the end of the week.

That would be sooner than many have expected, and some Democrats suggested it was another effort to turn attention from Bain.

The timing was far from certain. Asked whether the announcement could come this week, Fehrnstrom said: “Technically it could, but the governor hasn’t made a decision.”

The past several days of the campaign have centered on Romney’s former work at Bain Capital and whether he has been straightforward about the timing of his departure, a line of attack that Obama is exploiting to try to undermine public support in Romney’s business credentials and trustworthiness.

Obama assailed Romney’s tax plans for U.S. businesses on Monday.

Do You Need Antibiotics Before Your Dental Visit?

The American Heart Association recommends following their guidelines for the prescription of antibiotic pre-medication before certain dental procedures.

Conditions such as heart murmur, rheumatic fever, and certain congenital heart conditions no longer require premedication. However, certain heart conditions still warrant the use of antibiotics such as artificial valves or a prior history of infective endocarditis. Some patients with other medical conditions are also advised to take the antibiotics prior to dental care. For example, if you have had a total joint replacement surgery, then you are at risk of developing infections at the site of the prosthesis. Therefore, antibiotic premedication will be necessary before your dental visits following that joint surgery. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons used to recommend pre-med for at least two years following surgery; however, those guidelines were changed in fall 2009. It is now recommended that total joint replacement patients always continue to take medication prior to dental appointments. You should ask your orthopedic doctor what he or she recommends for you. Make sure you inform your dental office about any new medical conditions or changes in your health so your dentist can help you manage these risks successfully.

Some Republicans ready to make a deal on taxes?

Nowadays, few politicians will stray from party orthodoxy without also taking unfair whacks at the opposition. Sen. Tom Coburn, Republican from Oklahoma, is braver and more principled than most. But even he felt obliged to take partisan cover in his most recent blast at activist Grover Norquist, enforcer of the absurd pledge never to let anyone’s taxes rise ever.

If wrongly accusing Democrats of refusing to compromise on taxes and spending is the price Coburn charges for an otherwise intelligent conversation, let’s pay it. Anything for progress.

Coburn correctly notes that Democrats take joy every time the lobbyist Norquist shows up on Capitol Hill demanding that Republicans, in the senator’s words, “defend every loophole and spending program hidden in the tax code.” Yes, many tax breaks are little more than sneaky spending programs. Coburn last year went after the ethanol tax credit, which effectively handed $5 billion a year to petroleum refineries that blended ethanol into gasoline. Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, working with Norquist, tried but failed to defeat the valiant effort to do away with this taxpayer giveaway.

Republicans really want a Reagan-style tax reform, Coburn insists, “that lowers rates and broadens the tax base by getting rid of loopholes and deductions.” That’s a fine idea if, at the end the day, more revenues are coming in than are now.

Not all Republicans are as courageous as Coburn in actually naming tax breaks that need to go. Every goodie in the tax code has lobbyists standing guard. While Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has expressed support for the tax-broadening concept, he has neglected to name a single loophole or deduction he would knock off.

Also not encouraging are strong hints that Romney may choose former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty as his vice presidential running mate. As a presidential candidate, Pawlenty called for ending all taxes on capital gains and

dividends in addition to cutting the marginal tax rates. Amazingly, this would free some of the wealthiest Americans from paying any federal income taxes at all. (The richer one is, the more one’s income is likely to come from investments.) Pawlenty’s plan would also reduce revenues by almost $12-trillion through 2021, according to the Tax Policy Center.

In broadening the tax base, President Reagan agreed to end all preferential treatment for capital gains, effectively raising the capital gains tax for high earners to 28-percent from 20-percent. That was the tradeoff for lowering the marginal rates.

Are Republicans, even with Norquist sidelined, capable of making that kind of compromise? Capital gains are now taxed at 15-percent, and Romney vows to cut them further.

It was only 11 months ago that Romney and seven other Republican candidates were asked at a debate whether they would accept $1 of new tax revenues for $10 of spending cuts. Not a hand went up.

We are nearing the anniversary of last summer’s disgraceful standoff over raising the country’s debt limit.

Having routinely hiked the debt limit in the George W. Bush era and before, Republicans decided to play games with America’s credit rating by holding up approval. They even rejected an earlier deal made with Democrats to cut $3-trillion in spending in return for $1-trillion in tax revenues, mainly from closing loopholes. That would have been $4-trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years.

Coburn and other thoughtful Republicans could herald a new day.

If Coburn has to sate the partisan lust for liberal scalps by pairing an end to sweetheart tax breaks for the ethanol industry with that for Hollywood producers, a generally Democratic lot, no problem. Actually, he has a deal. Let’s talk.

LETTERS Government should make it easy for small business to create access To the editor, As newlyweds in 1970, my husband and I visited his family, here in Laconia, from our home in Southern California, and have kept coming back for 43 years! First, we vacationed and now that we’re retired, we spend the whole summer! Last year, due to illness, we were unable to travel. But, this year, we’re back! We love it here, even though this uneven, hilly place makes walking very difficult for me because of my disability from polio paralysis in 1952. Thanks to New Hampshire, my greatest claim to fame (at least in my family) is climbing Mount Belknap at 34 years old. (I had a lot of help!) Now, 30 years later, I’m having a hard time climbing my sloping driveway! But happily, God has blessed me with a power wheelchair.

A few days ago, we took a little drive, just taking in our favorite architecture, the river walk, the Weirs and some of the local beaches. And our usual eating and shopping “haunts.”

Despite the sad fact that there are some businesses that have closed, we were delighted to see that there are new businesses and many of the oldtimers are still rockin’ and have given themselves face-lifts. Even many of the homes are “made-over.” The town sparkles with new paint and busyness. I’m grateful to see that many business owners are doing their best to upgrade to handicap accessibility as well. It gives my “Wheelchair and Me” so many more places to tootle!

This brings me to one of my favorite stops... Sunflower Natural Foods. If you haven’t visited this eclectic little store, you must! They have vitamins and supplements, (that’s my excuse for going there... and it’s a good one!)

There’s fresh, local fruit and veggies, along with other healthy, wondrous foods. But that’s not all, the back of the store has fun stuff: hand-crafted gift items; interesting books and whatnots; even (my special favorite) a spice cabinet where you can measure out fresh spices, the exact amount you want, and they have little jars you can buy for storage!

This year, I was pleased to notice that the aisles are wide enough for my wheelchair, but, sadly, there is no wheelchair access to the store! Due

to my determination to pick out my “own stuff,” I grabbed my cane and made up my mind to get in that store!

My husband secured my backside to make sure I went forward instead of backward (is that called “securing the aft...?”), while I pulled myself up the front steps by the rail and resolutely entered the “almost” inaccessible wonderland. I quickly found my vitamins and couldn’t resist browsing, so I managed to walk from one end of the store, pick a few things and get back to the front door. I was tired! And, then, I remembered that I wanted to buy some candles. Where were they?

Of course, they were in the back of the store. Oh dear, candles would have to wait for another trip. Wish I would’ve had my wheelchair. (smile)While I was in the back, I saw a door on the side of the building and thought, “Oh, they do have a ramp, I just didn’t see it!” But, bummer, it was stairs! (hmmm, a perfect place for a ramp, though.) I spoke to one of the clerks about a ramp and he said that the staff has often discussed this subject at their meetings. From what I understand, there are nearly insurmountable issues that keep them from adding a wheelchair ramp anytime in the near future. I believe, in particular, the exorbitant cost for a small business to build a ramp to meet government specifications. (city, state, federal?)

I would love to be able to shop in my favorite little store anytime (without backup). And I’d love for my fellow “disabled” friends to have the same pleasure. If you would like to shop in Sunflower Natural Foods but can’t because there’s no ramp... I found out how you can help! Contact the City of Laconia City Council, 45 Beacon St. East, Laconia, NH 03246 or phone 527-1270 and your state officials regarding handicap accessibility regulations: Governor’s Commission on Disability, 57 Regional Drive, Concord, NH 03301-8518; (603) 271-2773 (Voice/TTY); (603) 271-2837 (FAX); (800) 852-3405 (Toll Free); http://www. state.nh.us/disability/index.html Maybe, next summer there’ll be a shiny new ramp for my “Wheelchair and Me” to tootle through, so, I can browse to my heart’s content.

LETTERS Several eyewitnesses to this attempt to intimidate me at the polls To the editor, I am writing in response to a few letters that were published in the past week or so. These Letters from Ken Slater, Scott Mooney, and Jeff Madon were quite critical of me.

For starters Mr. Slater, your letter was quite confusing. I still don’t understand the message you were trying to convey other then you don’t like me.

Very well, I accept that. However, I must tell you, sir that you lost all credibility when you wrote that I have no idea what it’s like to drive a “heavy truck” up Gunstock Hill. You see sir; I live on Gunstock Hill . . . in the house with the “heavy truck” in the driveway. Hint; in the future please try to do a little research on the person you are attempting to smear.

Firefighter Mooney, your letter contradicts the sworn courtroom testimony of your chief — I checked my facts, Fire Department activities are contained within searchable public documents. Besides how can anyone take you seriously when you have been on the fire department in one capacity or another for 27 years and have yet to be promoted?

Finally Lt. Madon: for starters, your chief made a statement to the press that he knew to be false. That is a lie. Now perhaps I could have been all PC and said that he “mis-spoke”, but that’s not my style. As to what I have coined the “intimidation campaign”, on two occasions a Gilford firefighter has physically tried to intimidate me. The last such incident was at the polls in March. (The very day that the voters of Gilford voted overwhelmingly NOT to purchase a new fire engine). This individual spent much of the morning staring me down; this was noticed and commented on by several people. When he walked past me for the fourth time in 10 minutes, cranking his neck around to stare at me I had enough, I asked him what the problem was. He then got into my personal space and proceeded to poke his finger at me and call me a “Chicken”.

Just for the record, I said he was ATTEMPTING to intimidate me. However, he looked pretty foolish. I have several eye witnesses to this incident, and you Lt. Madon even ran over and took pictures or possibly a video of this episode with your cell phone, so please spare us your faux outrage.

I have had complaints made about either myself or my business to both the Town of Gilford and N.H. DOT, both by Gilford Firefighters (in the state of N.H. you have the right to know the names of your accuser). For this I do have documentation. I have made the selectman aware of this several weeks ago. Even more troubling however is that my wife has witnessed several vehicles with those little fire union stickers slowing down or stopping at my home and taking pictures with their cell phones, even on the side road overlooking my backyard.

Now I really don’t know what the purpose of this is, but the fact is that this is not just my home but it is also home to my young children. Now Jeff, I understand you have young children yourself so you must understand my

concern. I did not write about these incidences to ruin anyone’s reputation or get anyone into trouble. Please note, I still haven’t named anyone, although I could. I simple want this juvenile behavior to STOP. What is even more disturbing is that many people in our community are genuinely afraid to speak out about the largesse enjoyed buy our Fire Department for fear of retaliatory actions like this. I am told that this disturbing trend goes back decades.

The first amendment guarantees us the right to free speech; no one should have to worry about being bullied for exercising that right. Fortunately, we are a SB-2 town and voters can vote their conscious with being intimidated. I am confused how you, Lt. Madon, can be both a department officer and also member of this little union. Is there no distinction between the department’s leadership and rank and file union members? Who in the fire department is actually representing the interest of the taxpayers?

Let me be clear I am in no way suggesting that the chief or Mr. Akerley has had any part in these deplorable actions.

In my heart I have to believe that they would never condone these tactics.

Jeff, while I understand you are trying to marginalize my qualifications to speak on issues involving trucks, I do not “haul dirt”. What I do is a bit more specialized. I don’t need to explain, you wouldn’t understand.

Come to think of it, one of the last times that one of my trucks hauled dirt was a little over a year ago when I was approached by a member of the GFD who was looking for some fill for his yard. Because he was a fireman in the community that I live in and I had some extra time I sold him the fill at my cost (no profit). Even with everything that has transpired over the last eight months I would do the same thing for this person and most of his colleges including you. I am capable of separating politics from personal.

I don’t hate firefighters, what I do hate is intentional neglect of taxpayer property; I hate when the will of the voters is ignored; I hate when people intentionally over-state the danger in order to scare the taxpayers into shelling out a half million dollars.

No one forced you to become a civil servant, that was your choice, and for that choice you receive an excellent salary, a benefit package that you would never have access to in the private sector, not to mention a partially taxpayer funded pension program. However, as a public employee you are not exempt from public scrutiny. Remember the fire department doesn’t own all those shiny fire engines, we, the taxpayers do. The Gilford taxpayers have spent millions on equipment for the fire department and we expect you to maintain that equipment properly. Why should we trust you with a new half million dollar truck when you have proven to be so reluctant to maintain the trucks you already have?

‘Friends’ rushed to Concord to register our name after we began using it To the editor, We were disappointed to see that your publication “consumed the KoolAid” of the erroneous communications by the Friends of Waukewan & Winona Association (“Friends”). I trust that this note will complete the story accurately.

First, we request correction of a statement in the Friday July 13, 2012 issue regarding our Association’s position on the water level in Lake Waukewan. We support the reasoned decision of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES), whatever that may be, unfettered by second-guessing. Over the past year, Friends spent its time and treasure second-guessing DES. The DES staff is a dedicated group of professionals that has superior technical and scientific knowledge to balance all of the factors involved in setting the level.

As regards our trade name, we are aware that “Friends” registered our trade name with the Secretary of State.

In New Hampshire trade names can arise in one of two ways: (1) registration with the Secretary of State, or (2) through a pattern of use creating a common law right to the name.

Our trade name first appeared in board minutes on our website in the spring of 2011 and was also publicly used in the notice of our annual meeting last year. In fact, it was not until after our annual meeting on July 9, 2011, which members of Friends attended where our members ratified the board actions, that Friends rushed to the Secretary of State to apply for the name in what can only be viewed as an entirely disingenuous action.

When we learned of Friends’ registration, our legal advisors investigated whether or not we should stop using the name. That investigation revealed that our common law use of the name pre-dated their filings.

Based upon that information we considered whether we should bring an action in Superior Court to reaffirm our right to use the name. We elected not to, since we believe that our resources are better spent protecting the watershed.

Our Association has a track record of conservation projects to protect the Waukewan watershed. Our latest collaboration with the Town of New Hamp-

ton just reached agreement to conserve the 8.1 acre Elizabeth Clingan Baird property with 1,480 ft. on the Snake River that feeds Lake Waukewan.

Also our Association has also been awarded a $10,000 grant from the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative Foundation to kick off our agreement to provide $30,000 in matching funds and services to create educational facilities on the conserved lands on the Snake River.

Except for Friends’ attempts to conduct self-serving conversations with itself through “trial by newspaper” and other media, we are unaware of any confusion among watershed residents with respect to our name. In light of our precedent use of the name we ask Friends to relinquish their registration to us. We will be happy to prepare the documents to do so.

Going forward, we trust that your publication will focus on the newsworthy, substantive developments in the Waukewan watershed that can have meaningful, long-term impact for future generations rather than on what Kurt Vonnegut called “a pack of foma” others seem intent on putting forth as news.

Chuck Braxton, President Waukewan Watershed Association (Editor’s note: The group represented

by Mr. Braxton, now calling itself the Waukewan Watershed Association, has historically gone by the name of Waukewan Shore Owners Association. The “Friends” group Mr. Braxton refers to is the Waukewan & Winona Protective Association, which originally went by the name Friends of Waukewan and Winona Association. A representative of the later group registered the name Waukewan Watershed Association — as well as a number of similar trade names — with the N. H. Secretary of State’s office and it is our understanding that Mr. Braxton’s group was informed by the Secretary of State that it may not legally use the name because it belongs to someone else. It is not this newspaper’s job to determine who is right and who is wrong in this matter. That is for the two parties to sort out in a court of law, if necessary. Until the matter is settled, The Daily Sun, in news reports, will refer to the two groups as the Waukewan Shore Owners Association and the Waukewan and Winona Protective Association.)

Why do you need photo ID to do just about anything expect to vote?

To the editor, U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that voter identification laws are constitutional. On July 6, 2012, after many battles Governor Lynch has finally permitted New Hampshire’s voter ID bill to become law. Great! Those of us who believe today’s technology easily hoodwinks yesterday’s voting processes see this as a win for the good guys. Done deal right? Not so fast!

Unfortunately due to historical events, New Hampshire is subject to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires all voting process changes to be approved by Washington. So our new voter ID law cannot take effect until Washington approves.

New Hampshire’s new voter id law is now in a 60-day queue waiting approval from the US Department of

The Attorney General of the United States (one who is supposed to represent all of us) and his Justice Department evidently hold the belief that it is so hard for some to get photo IDs that a mandate to produce an ID to vote amounts to government-sponsored voter disenfranchisement. Preposterous!

In addition to needing a photo ID to be admitted to Washington’s own Justice Department, today one needs a photo ID to cash checks, travel on airplanes, purchase a firearm, complete any large credit card purchase, open a bank account, rent an apartment, be admitted to a hospital, and get a marriage license. Interestingly you need valid photo identification to qualify for many government programs as well. These are the govern-

LETTERS Disband the parties & create 2 new ones: Corporations and People

Only people vocally opposing fire truck are some embittered extremists

To the editor, Pres. Obama’s going to Ohio to challenge candidate Mitt Romney on economydamaging jobs-exportation makes me remember a May event. In early May, Pres.

Obama signed new free trade agreements with Colombia, as well as South Korea and Panama. A Brookings Institute report online (May 17 — “Celebrating Colombia’s Free Trade Agreement”) makes me leery: “Colombian agriculture has been protected by a regime of no-taxes, but it will now face large-scale and more efficient U.S. producers. Small manufacturers will need to invest in computer and electronic equipment to develop their budgets, and marketing strategy.” The farmers and small manufacturers in Colombia have been tossed to the corporate wolves.

What I really expected from our transformative president was Fair Trade

To the editor, First of all, I want to say that that Gilford has a fine and professional fire department. Several years ago, when my father-in-law was living with us, they answered an emergency call for him and were very kind and helpful. We have a fine fire chief and very professional firefighters. Fortunately, we have never had to use the fire department’s services again. I say fortunately because fire departments are among those things you hope you never need but which are comforting to have anyway. And, when I do need them, I want them to have the best equipment possible and do not mind paying taxes for it.

In a recent letter to The Sun, Kevin Leandro made false accusations against our fine firefighters because he opposes paying for a new fire truck.

He claims that the fire department is “intimidating” him. Mr. Leandro, how are they intimidating you? Like Niel Young, do you think that everyone who disagrees with you is persecuting you? Where is your evidence for these serious and defaming charges? I want to see it! If you cannot produce that evidence, you owe Gilford Fire Rescue a retraction and an apology.

Like you, Mr. Leandro, I question “authority” and “experts” too but sometimes those authorities are actually right.

agreements. Fair Trade has been around for years now, with chocolate and coffee products on our store shelves, especially in our health food stores and co-ops.

What is Obama doing, being stuck in the old Clinton-Bush mentalities and signing those agreements that cause jobs to leave the country and make hardships for small people? Now he challenges Romney on his actions causing jobs to leave the country? We really are in corporations’ hands, whoever is U.S. president.

We should disband our current political parties and instead vote for Corporations or People, with a -C after our names when we register or a -P. Can you imagine the fresh faces we’d get when candidates are vying to represent the People? What a revolution it’d be!

Palestinians are real people who carry Palestinian passports To the editor, Mr. Stottlar’s accusation in his letter of July 11 was strange since I did not say anything derogatory about Jewish people.

He also denied certain facts. There are

Palestinians. They are real people. They carry Palestinian passports, recognized as such in the United States. Many are descendants of the original followers of Jesus.

We have all the firefighters and now even a judge saying we need a new fire truck.

As for me, I am willing to accept their opinion when it comes to firefighting matters unless I see a real good reason not to and I do not in this case. In fact, it seems that the only people vocally opposing the fire truck are some embittered extremists who seem to have little concern for the rest of us.

It’s a bit like going to the doctor. I am an informed patient and I do ask my physician questions. Even so, when she thinks I need a test or procedure, I trust and respect her knowledge of a field that is not mine. After all, she went to medical school. Are you a firefighter or expert in that field Mr. Leandro?

On a different but still somewhat related matter: Mr. Leandro, when are you, Doug Lambert, and Dave Horvath going to repay the thousands of dollars you cost the town with your frivolous lawsuit against the Gilford School Board? The three of you are always saying you want to save the town money but seem to have no problem spending the town’s money to defend itself against ridiculous lawsuits. Gentlemen: when are you going to do the honorable thing and put your money where your mouths are?

What in Sen. Forrester afraid of? We want to see her debate Bob Lamb To the editor, Senator Forester refused to debate Fran Wendleboe in the last election. Does she have some positions or votes that she is afraid to talk about to the voters?

There is no excuse for a candidate to

refuse to face an opponent and stand up for what they have done, or expect to do if they are elected. What is Forester afraid of? We want to see her debate Bob Lamb.

from preceding page ment programs designed specifically to help the folks our Justice Department is presumably trying to protect.

These government programs require photo IDs! Why? Because the administrators of these programs want to eliminate fraud. Well, guess what!

That’s the same reason we want voter ID laws...to prevent fraud.

Voter fraud is simple to imagine but very hard to prove. One case in

Mississippi was closed only when the culprit’s DNA was lifted from the glue she licked to seal absentee ballot envelopes. DNA! With assistance from today’s modern technology, identity theft is rampart. Our voting processes are antiquated. You do the math. It’s a new day. We need new leadership and we need voter ID!

LETTERS Sandwich town government far from as transparent as it should be

Many contributed to success of Gilmanton Corner Library’s 100th

To the editor, To the residents of Sandwich: I noticed with interest , while reviewing the online minutes of the April 30, 2012 Selectmen’s Meeting an agenda item “Opening of bids: Town Hall Painting, Beede Falls Bank Restoration, SCS Generator.” It was reported by a Conservation Commission member at this meeting there were four bids for the Beede Falls Restoration opened at the Conservation Commission meeting on Wednesday, April 25. I was present at that meeting and there were no bids opened at that meeting. What was discussed near the end of the meeting was choosing a time the next morning at which the bids would be opened. At the end of the meeting, as some of the members left, I stepped outside to the Town Public Notice Board and no such meeting was posted. I went back in and asked the chairman if the group meeting tomorrow was a subcommittee of the commission and the reply was yes. I informed the chair that meeting was not posted properly and therefore would be illegal. Meetings must be noticed 24 hours in advance . Proper procedure involving bids is that only sealed bids are accepted, time and place for opening is posted and noticed to insure public’s opportunity to participate, Another issue at the Conservation Commission meeting that night was the conduct of a member who had communicated with a state agency which oversees land easements that the “town” believed there to be a violation of an easement. Both the Board of Selectmen and the Commission had been reviewing the issue with all parties concerned but no

To the editor, At its June 16 Board meeting, the Trustees of the Gilmanton Corner Public Library expressed thanks to the many people who prepared for and participated in the Library’s 100th Anniversary Birthday Celebration. As Tom Scribner, Board Chair noted: It may have been a wet, cold and windy day (Saturday, June 2), but spirits were high and the entertainment delightful.

Dave da Twista amazed everyone with his balloon creations as David Morrison entertained with his fiddle playing. The event was catered by Sarah BaldwinWelcome whose servers provided cake, ice cream and punch.

The Trustees expressed appreciation to the Bank of New Hampshire, Meredith Savings Bank, and Northway Bank for underwriting the event and to John Funk who facilitated their participation. Thanks were also extended to Tim Warren and the Gilmanton Town Selectmen for permitting use of the Academy Building.

Sincere, grateful kudos were extended to Linda Hudziec, Librarian, who has provided new energy, professionalism, enthusiasm, and an open and welcoming environment for patrons and volunteers alike.

Event architect was Barbara Angevine supported by the current Trustees: Diana McElwee, Tom Scribner, and Donna White. Current Alternates are Deb Chase and Judy Bakos.

decision had been reached at this time.

Based on the conversation with the Commission member, the state agency sent a letter to the town in support of its decision concerning this particular easement.

The town notified the state agency that the issue was still being discussed and no vote was taken yet which prompted the agency to withdraw its letter. Both the Board of Selectmen and the Commission, at their respective meetings, by vote, concluded that there was no violation of the easement . A member of any town board or commission speaking on behalf of the town without proper approval is unacceptable. This same member had issues with an item to be taken up at previous Commission meeting which the member was unable to attend, so the member sent e-mails informing the other commissioners of this members feelings on the issue, a clear violation of the law. The town can not afford to have town officials (elected or appointed) conduct themselves in a manner which can leave the town open to lawsuits, At the very least the selectmen should not reappoint repeat offenders to any town commission or board.

One other issue which I noticed was that a selectman was present and sitting with the Commission, participated in all discussions and voted on all issues before the Commission. The RSA’s allow for seven members plus alternates, none of which are selectmen, seemed odd to have eight votes on a seven man commission.

WE SHOULD ALL DEMAND OPEN AND TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT, AND HOME RULE. IT’S OUR RIGHT! Robert Rowan Center Sandwich

Immediate past Trustees include Phyllis Buchanan and Becky Ronstadt.

The Trustees also expressed appreciation to the many people who donated their time, money and/or effort to prepare the Library for its 100thAnniversary celebration. Israel Willard and Tom Scribner pulled out shrubs and installed drainage, Mickey Daigle of R. M. Daigle Construction completed the excavation work preparatory to sidewalk construction, and Bill Hurst installed an excellent temporary paved walkway for use over the winter months. Then, this spring Steve Chmielecki of All Stone Masonry donated his time and material to build a beautiful brick walkway for the Library. Of course, the entire sidewalk project would not have been feasible without the financial contributions of numerous donors. Justin Caldon of Four Corners Landscaping donated his time and material to finish the final grading and seeding, while Paula Gilman and Thomie Dombrowski donated and planted new shrubs recently supplemented

by Scribner who donated his time and effort to install supplementary plants, fertilize, and mulch. Most recently, Ernie Hudziec has donated his time and effort to upgrade and refurbish the Library’s windows.

commitment to excellence has been clear.

Gilmanton BudCom will get details of teachers’ contract on Wed. night To the editor, There are several important meetings coming up that Gilmanton voters should be aware of. These meetings pertain to the previously defeated Warrant article from the March 2012 School District Meeting. This article that was voted down by the public requested salary increases for the Gilmanton teachers in the amount of $37,006.

On Wednesday July 18, 2012 the School Board will present to the Budget Committee the new contract negotiated with the teachers. The new amount being requested has not yet been dis-

closed. On Friday July 20., 2012 there will be a Public Hearing presented by the School Board. Both meetings are at the Academy Building.

Following that, there will be a Deliberative Session on August 14, 2012, as required by the implementation of SB-2. At that meeting the voters will debate and determine the actual wording and amount of the proposed increases in teachers salary that will appear on the ballot September 11, 2012 at the same time and place as the State Primary Election. see next page

Laconia’s McLaughlin endorses Cilley for governor LACONIA — Former New Hampshire Attorney General Phil McLaughlin on Monday announced his endorsement of Democrat Jackie Cilley’s candidacy for governor. McLaughlin, who considered a run for the corner office earlier in the year, is practice law in Laconia.

“I am deeply honored by Phil McLaughlin’s support of my candidacy,” Cilley said in response to the endorsement. “Phil’s reputation for integrity and outspokenness is something I value tremendously.”

“Phil has a sound grasp of just how New Hampshire’s government works and how it can be improved,” she added. “We share a commitment to building a 21st Century New Hampshire through investments in those things that make our economy thrive — a first rate education for our young, a sound transportation and communication infrastructure and a clean environment. I am looking forward to his input into our campaign and policy development.”

“There is nothing fancy about Jackie Cilley. She’s a work horse, she’s smart, and she’s rooted in this State. She pledges nothing but straight talk, an

open mind and a willingness to confront New Hampshire’s future. Those are the qualities most needed in our next Governor and the reasons that I support her,” said Mr. McLaughlin explaining his decision to support Cilley.

McLaughlin served as New Hampshire’s attorney general from 1997 to 2002. This capped a career in public service that included time on Laconia’s City Council and School Board, as a delegate to New Hampshire’s constitutional convention and, from 1979 to 1981, as Belknap County Attorney. He also served as a Director of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation from 2004 to 2010 and as a member of the Legislative Study Commission on the New Hampshire Death Penalty.

Cilley, who served in both New Hampshire’s House and Senate representing Barrington, built a successful business and taught more than 2500 New Hampshire students over her 20 years as a business professor with UNH’s Whittemore School for Business and Economics. A Berlin native, Sen. Cilley earned a BA in Psychology from the University of New Hampshire and an MBA from the Whittemore School.

ECONOMY from page one its outlook for global growth over the next two years.

Stocks fell after the Commerce report was issued.

The Dow Jones industrial average sank 74 points in early trading. Broader indexes also declined. Later in the day, stocks regained some of their losses.

“However hard you look, there’s just no good news in this report,” said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

Weakening retail spending could make the Federal Reserve more likely to act further to try to encourage more borrowing and spending by lowering long-term interest rates. The Fed’s policy committee will meet at the end of this month.

Most economists don’t expect new Fed action after that meeting. But some said Monday’s Commerce report,

coming after three straight months of tepid hiring, makes some Fed action more likely by year’s end.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will testify to Congress about the economy on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Despite the lackluster spending in April through June, retail sales were still 4.7 percent higher in the second quarter than in the same period in 2011. And the figures don’t include spending on services, which makes up about two-thirds of consumer purchases.

Services range from doctor’s visits and plane tickets to rent payments and utility bills.

Spending figures for services aren’t yet available for June. But consumers have spent more on services each month this year.

Still, Ashworth said economic growth likely slowed to an annual rate of just 1.5 percent in the second quarter. That’s isn’t enough to lower high unemployment. The U.S. unemployment rate is 8.2 percent.

In Monday’s report, Commerce also said Americans spent less in April than previously thought. In part because of that, Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, lowered his estimate of growth in the April-June quarter from a 1.7 percent annual rate to a 1.4 percent rate. And he lowered his forecast for the July-September quarter to a 1.5 percent growth rate, down from a 2 percent rate.

To Thine Own Self Be True

Chance to stage ‘Mousetrap’ holds special significance for Winni Playhouse couple

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — First debuting in 1952 in London, Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” holds the record for the longest-running play and has become an icon of that city’s west end. This year, as the original production company celebrates its 60th birthday, local theater fans have an opportunity to celebrate the play’s Diamond Jubilee. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is one of only 60 companies around the world to be granted a license to put on “The Mousetrap,” which will take to the Weirs Beach stage beginning Wednesday.

“The Mousetrap” will be performed at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s theatre in the Alpen Rose plaza from July 18 through July 28. See winniplayhouse.com or call the box office at 366-7377 for ticket information.

The play, in addition to its exceptional longevity

— it’s been performed in London for every year that Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne — has special significance for Lesley and Neil Pankhurst, two of the founders of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse. A decade ago, Lesley was living in London and working for the education charity Mousetrap Theatre Projects, founded by the play’s original production company, which opens theatre doors to young audiences.

For Neil, an Englishman, the play represents one of his home-country’s most durable creations as well as a fine example of the murder-mystery genre, one of his favorite flavors of theatre. Neil is the director of the Playhouse’s production of “Mousetrap,” while Lesley is the costume designer.

“It’s so quintessentially English,” Lesley says of the play.

Let’s face it not everyone is cut out to be a Wall Street investor. The truth is so; many educated people miss investment returns. It’s not that investors are stupid; it’s the markets that can’t be trusted, up and down like a roller coaster. That being said, this economy, in my opinion, is much different than years past. There are so many different economic factors impacting investment returns, making it difficult to get positive returns.

You might be up 20% for a few months and then the market drops rapidly following the publishing of the latest job’s report. If you’re anything like me, your stomach is in knots and you kick yourself for not doing anything about it.

“Economic Factors” Before you invest your life savings in the Stock Market, consider evaluating your overall objectives and the corresponding time frame for you to achieve your financial goals. This is important because as the need for retirement funds increase with age, your risk must decrease (risk management). I would work very closely with your financial advisor because he/she could reduce your investment risk as you near or are in retirement. During the financial meltdown of 2008 many people got caught with large sums of money in the stock market and suffered greatly.

When your life savings, which is being used for retirement, starts eroding at a biblical rate, it is problematic and painful. It is very difficult to recover from these losses and continue to take on income.

“Solution” Have your advisor look at guaranteed income options that can give you income for life. I think this makes sense in today’s turbulent times; hedge the stock market and “shore up” needed monies for living expenses. Life is not a dress rehearsal and we must take advantage of lessons learned in the past. Economic periods of expansion and contraction are cyclical and it’s only a problem if we don’t plan ahead for the inevitable.

Don’t put all of your money in the markets.

Diversify your holdings and have your advisor look at fixed and guaranteed options available so you don’t get caught off guard!! Know the limitations of the economy and how that can impact your savings. If interest rates are low, building stats are low, unemployment is high and real estate sales are slow, putting your hard earned dollars in the market is challenging at best. I know there are good deals out there but you shouldn’t be gambling with your life savings.

from preceding page London, where an assortment of odd characters is assembled in a typical English guest house. Stranded there by a snowstorm, the characters — and audience members — begin to suspect that one of them is responsible for a recent murder in London, and that the next victim may also be among them.

As Neil said, the longevity of the play is due to Christie’s playwriting. Every character seems to have a secret, and audience members could suspect any one of them of criminal doings. Typical of British crime stories, the action is carried out by dialogue and questioning, instead of the guns-a-blazing crime fighting American audiences know well. There’s no wont of action, though. Pointed questions fly fast and are just as quickly parried with clever replies.

“As a member of the audience, you sit there and change your mind as many as a dozen times,” said Neil. “The fact that it’s gone on has something to do with the fact that people just don’t guess it.”

At the time the play was written, England was in

a difficult period. World War II was over though its devastation remained present on the landscape and in the psyches of those who survived. Many faces were drawn gaunt by poverty, while rationing limited the desires of those with the means to buy. With the war’s horrors so recent in memory, who could say the future would be much better? “People wanted to forget about their dreary life,” Neil said.

That — the escape from dreariness — is why Neil felt “The Mousetrap” found success that lasted beyond Christie’s expected eight-month run. Then, as now, it seems audiences want to step away from their usual concerns. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse produces one murder-mystery each summer, and they tend to be among their patrons’ favorite shows of the year.

“The Mousetrap” should be no different. Neil said, “It’s a very well-written story that just grips you right from the first moment. Everybody seems to be hiding something.”

LEAVITT from page one understand, given the long history of improvements to the park made by the association through use of it’s trust fund, why the city wouldn’t allow the use of the trust fund for a $10,000 replacement of the 90 foot by 30 foot main floor of the park house. ‘’Clem Levasseur put on a 30 foot by 30 foot addition in 1969 and that was paid for with the trust fund. We put in a storage building with trust funds and put in a subfloor over the original floor when it was worn down so much we couldn’t resurface it anymore” said Fortier.

He even recalled one instance in which he had Caswell and Sons checked the furnace on a Friday night and, unable to reach any Park and Recreation officials who could help resolve the problem, authorized Caswell to make a trip to Boston to bring back a new furnace, which was installed by Sunday morning and was paid for with $3,000 from the trust fund, Fortier said that took place when Dan McKeever was the city manager and was one of many disputes that the Leavitt Park Association had with the City Parks and Recreation Commission over the years.

Kevin Dunleavy, Director of Recreation and Facilities, said said that city policy, which was developed to resolve issues of responsibility for the city-owned buildings, says that trust money should not be spent on park house buildings.

He said that the reasoning behind that was that while minor repairs and upkeep would be handled by the park association trust funds, structural issues

were the responsibility of the city.

Commissioner George Hawkins said that the issue, which came up during the public comment session and was not on the agenda, ‘’is news to us.’’

He said that he had recently visited Leavitt Park to check on the progress of a kitchen floor project but had no idea that the main floor needed to be replaced. ‘’We need to sit down and take a look at this and see what the policy is and whether we need to change it. We know what needs to be done and we have to figure out what we need to do to get there,’’ said Hawkins.

Dunleavy said he would seek to clarify what the park house repair policy is and would bring that answer to the next meeting, Nancy Kermit Merrill, a member of the Leavitt Park Association, said that she had not sought three bids for the floor replacement project, a requirement for city projects, but had talked with a person the association has worked with in the past to obtain the estimate, ‘’What are the moneys from the trust fund to be used for. The hall is falling down and we want to fix it. We don’t want to see it fall apart like some of the other buildings, ‘’ she said.

Fortier said that aside from the Weirs Community Park Association, the Leavitt Park Association is the only other active park association in the city.

And he said that due the aging of the members see next page

JAIL from page one ton voted not to authorize the appropriation.

Representative Tyler Simpson of New Hampton, who was absent, has usually voted with those who found themselves in the minority, suggesting that had he been present, the motion would likely have failed.

The result was confirmed when a motion to reconsider failed on a ten-to-seven vote with Luther switching sides to join the majority.

The vote effectively reversed a decision taken by the delegation last month, when the commission first submitted its request, to approve the hiring of a consultant but directing the commission to fund the contract within the 2012 county budget. At the time, the commission questioned the decision, explainfrom preceding page and the lack of younger people joining the association, it appears that it too will eventually cease to be a viable community association, ‘’We’re not getting any younger and we don’t have the manpower to run park house,’’ said Fortier, who has been a member of the Leavitt Park Association ever since 1959.

Merrill said that unless improvements are made to the main floor soon the park house stands to lose rentals to square dancing groups and others who want to use the dance floor.

The commission approved two facility use requests, one for Opechee Park for a Laconia Middle School summer soccer program from July 23-27 from 1-3 p.m. and another from the Laconia Ice Arena for the use of Memorial Park for three days during the week of August 20-24 for a sports camp from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. which would see soccer and kickball action.

ing that it can transfer and expend funds already appropriated without the approval of the delegation.

When the commission challenged the delegation to act on its request, the delegation chose to recess the meeting and reconvene yesterday.

After yesterday’s vote, Commissioner Ed Philpot of Laconia, chair of the commission, said “I’m pleased that we will be able to move forward with the county corrections planning process.” He said that prior to vote Worsman called it “a vote of no confidence in the commission” and noted that it failed.

The commissioners intend to hire RicciGreene Associates of New York, the firm that assisted Merrimack and Strafford counties reconfigure their correctional programs and redesign their correctional facilities. From the outset some members of the delegation were reluctant to begin the planning the planning process without an estimate of the cost of the entire project while others insisted funding for the planning process should be drawn from the existing budget.

PATERNO from page 2 report also cited two emails that showed Paterno knew about a 1998 allegation against his longtime defensive coordinator.

Freeh said Paterno and the other three officials, including ousted Penn State President Graham Spanier, exhibited “callous and shocking” disregard for child victims.

Spanier’s attorneys repeated their criticism of the Freeh report on Monday, saying it contained numerous inaccuracies and reached conclusions unsupported by the data. see next page

from preceding page “Mr. Freeh unfairly offered up Dr. Spanier and others to those insisting upon a finding of culpability at the highest level of the university,” attorneys Elizabeth Ainslie and Peter Vaira said in a statement.

A spokesman for Freeh did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Paterno family, in its statement, said the coach reported the 2001 allegation from graduate assistant Mike McQueary, who told Paterno he saw Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in the football team showers, to his superiors.

“It can certainly be asserted that Joe Paterno could have done more. He acknowledged this himself last fall,” the statement said. “But to claim that he knowingly, intentionally protected a pedophile is false.”

The family has aggressively sought to defend the Hall of Fame coach in the face of a scandal that cost him his job and seriously diminished his legacy.

Public relations expert Jonathan Bernstein, president of Bernstein Crisis Management Inc. and the author of texts on crisis communications, said he would have advised the Paterno family to issue a “short message of compassion” for Sandusky’s victims and then conduct its own investigation quietly if it disagreed with the conclusions of the Freeh report.

Announcing the probe now could wind up backfiring on the family, he said, because there will be pressure to release the findings publicly and “the results of the investigation could end up corroborating what was said in the Freeh report.”

Monday’s statement was issued amid calls for the removal of the famed statue of Paterno outside Beaver Stadium. A university spokesman said Sunday there’s been no decision on the sculpture’s fate.

Penn State President Rodney Erickson on Monday vowed cooperation with further investigations but also said decisions about the future “will take time.”

Erickson wrote in a message to students, faculty and staff on Monday that the eight months since Sandusky was charged have been “heart-wrenching and difficult” and said his heart was heavy for the victims.

GUNS from page one said the Weirs Boulevard address is where Soboleski works.

In a statement made shortly after the homeowner reported the theft, Jacques said some cash and ammunition was also taken.

The burglary occurred sometime overnight on Andrew C. Soboleski Monday, Sept. 5. The victim, (Gilford Police photo) who declined to be identified, was away on vacation when his home was burglarized but said yesterday he knows Soboleski.

He said Soboleski allegedly entered his home through a screen door and likely knew where the guns were kept.

Police said yesterday that seven guns were taken — one of which has since been recovered by Belmont Police. The victim said they were handguns but declined to be more specific saying only the police had the manufacturers, models, and the serial numbers for all of them.

“I hope they recover my guns because I don’t want to see them in the wrong hands and because some of the have sentimental value,” said the victim.

Jacques said they expect to make more arrests and police from Gilford and Belmont have been assisting in the investigation.

Soboleski is being held on $50,000 cash bail and is scheduled to appear in a video arraignment this morning in the N.H. 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

“We can never again allow this to happen,” he said, adding that the university was committed to ensuring the safety of children on campus and increasing awareness of child sex abuse and mistreatment.

Meanwhile, Penn State spokesman David La Torre confirmed that certain elements of the retirement package given to Sandusky had been revoked by the university, though he did not say if that was after Sandusky’s arrest in November or after his conviction last month.

Vandalism scars Laconia’s Union Cemetery

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Police continue to investigate the vandalism at the Union Cemetery in the South End, where sometime overnight on July 12 to July 13 nearly 20 tombstones were either knocked over or pushed off their bases.

Police said the vandalism was reported by a cemetery employee at 7:20 a.m. on the next day.

According to John Perley, the president of the Union Cemetery Association, the vandalism occurred in one of the older sections of the cemetery and some of the markers dated back to the late 1800s.

He said the cemetery superintendent is working to identify the families but many of them may be too old and not have traceable relatives.

He said the superintendent is also working with Laconia Monument to assess the damage and determine how and if many of the markers can be repaired.

“Some of them appear to have been knocked over and may be able to be righted and fastened back on their bases,” he said. “But others may be broken.”

Perley said this is the second major criminal event in the cemetery this year. Early this spring, employees noticed that over the course of the winter someone or some people had stolen about 50 of the brass water nozzle heads from the tops of the spigots people use to water flowers placed on the grave sites.

“We couldn’t even turn on the water supply until we fixed them,” Perley said.

“It’s a tough place to police. It’s wide open,” Perley said.

“I know people cut through there and many people go for walks in there,” he continued.

He said the cemetery association has casualty insurance but the association hasn’t decided yet if it will file a claim.

“We want to better understand how much it will cost before we contact them,” he said.

Police said last Thursday and Friday were particularly busy days. Sgt. Gary Hubbard noted that on the same night police of the cemetery vandalism, police learned that at least five cars in the Dartmouth Street area of town had items stolen from them and many other people reported someone rifled through their cars looking for valuables.

“It appears they were going through every car they saw and was unlocked,” Hubbard said.

He encouraged people not to leave valuables in their automobiles and to lock them, even when they are home.

Hubbard said police don’t know if the vandalism and the car thefts are related but said if anyone has any information about either, they are encouraged to contact the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the anonymous Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

Muskrat home runs benefitting Velasquez Youth Sports Equipment Foundation at rate of $20 a pop LACONIA — The NAPA store on Union Avenue and the Laconia Kiwanis Club are giving sports fans an extra reason to cheer whenever a Laconia Muskrat player hits a home run at Robbie Mills Field — for every homer hit at the home park, the two organizations are donating $10 each to the Rich Velasquez Youth Sports Equipment Foundation.

Roger Landry, owner of the NAPA auto parts store, said he was happy to connect his business’s name with that of the New England Collegiate Baseball League’s local team, and do it all for a good cause.

“It’s basically to get our name out there, support the Muskrats and support the community.”

Also president of the Kiwanis Club, Landry said that organization agreed to the promotion on the grounds that the donated funds would help equip local children. “The club agreed it was a good cause,” he said. “Kiwanis is about children.”

The Muskrats have hit 59 home runs so far this

season, with third baseman Danny Collins leading his team mates with 14. Jack Batchelder, president of the Rich Velasquez Foundation, wasn’t sure how many have been hit at home, but with four home games left, he was certain that the funds will be a big boost for his organization.

If 30 of those home runs were hit at Robbie Mills, then the Rich Velasquez Foundation is due to collect $600 so far from NAPA and Kiwanis combined.

According to Batchelder, the foundation last year granted requests from about 20 families asking for assistance with youth sports equipment, requests which totaled $2,000.

“This money will go into our general fund, will go to sporting equipment for kids,” said Batchelder, noting that the average request costs about $80 to $90 to fulfill. About the home run revenue, he said, “It’s going to help out for sure, it will come in handy for the kids.”

Late Gonzalez homer powers Red Sox past Chicago BOSTON (AP) — It was almost perfect for Boston Red Sox fans: They cheered Kevin Youkilis early in the game and enjoyed a late-inning rally by their team. A limping David Ortiz just put a bit of a damper on the nice night.

Adrian Gonzalez spoiled Youkilis’ return to Fenway Park, hitting a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning of a 5-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

The Red Sox traded Youkilis on June 24, sending the three-time All-Star and cash to Chicago for utilityman Brent Lillibridge and a minor league pitcher.

Youkilis went 3 for 4 with two doubles in his first game back at his longtime home.

Youkilis was serenaded with chants of “Yooooouk” when he stepped to the plate in the first.

“It was a great ovation. It was just a cool thing from the fans,” he said. “I can’t thank them enough for all the support they’ve given me.”

The Red Sox received a scare when Ortiz came up limping after rounding second on Gonzalez’s homer and limped badly all the way to the dugout.

Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said he’ll have an MRI on his right Achilles on Tuesday.

“He’s little upset and a little sore, but it doesn’t look he pulled anything or tore anything,” he said.

“It’s probably going to be some days, though. It’s that Achilles. You know, he’s had the heel and where the Achilles attaches in the back of the heel. I guess he’s had it in the past.”

Ortiz spoke briefly and was somewhat encouraged. “Yeah, I got sore, but I didn’t feel any pop, so that’s a good sign,” he said. “I iced it so it’s not as bad as it was.”

Carl Crawford returned to Boston’s lineup after missing the entire season with left elbow and wrist injuries, going 1 for 3 with a walk.

Crawford and Ortiz opened the eighth with consecutive walks against Leyson Septimo (0-1). Gon-

zalez then hit a drive into the seats above the Green Monster for just his seventh homer of the season.

Vicente Padilla (3-0) worked one inning for the win, and Alfredo Aceves finished the game.

Ortiz had a walk and single, giving him 10 straight with at least one hit and a walk to set a club record.

Ted Williams held the previous mark, going nine straight in 1950.

Youkilis received a warm welcome when he walked up to the plate before his first at-bat. The burly third baseman took off his helmet, turned and waved to all corners.

He then singled up the middle against Aaron Cook.

Adam Dunn followed with a grounder to second and Youkilis kept going toward an uncovered third with a shifted infield. First baseman Gonzalez then fired the ball into left for an error, allowing Youkilis to score.

“It was nice,” Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. “I think everyone kind of kind of expected that for what he’s done here.”

Crawford singled in the bottom half and scored on Gonzalez’s single to right.

Both starters were solid. Cook allowed five hits in seven innings and is 2-1 with a 1.67 ERA in four starts since coming off the disabled after getting spiked and cutting his left knee covering home plate.

“Me and Youk grew up together in the Cincinnati area,” Cook said. “We were on the same travel team for three years. Today is pretty special.”

Chicago’s Dylan Axelrod matched his career high with eight strikeouts and yielded seven hits in 6 2-3 innings.

The Red Sox, who took two of three at Tampa Bay over the weekend, opened a seven-game homestand.

NOTES: Red Sox CF Jacoby Ellsbury played his fourth straight game since coming off the DL Friday against Tampa Bay. He was sidelined since midApril with an injured right shoulder.

‘Publishing in Today’s Market’ Bells will be ringing Sunday at presented at Meredith Library tonight Union Church on Meredith Neck MEREDITH — Shaunda Kennedy Wenger, an author of nine books, will be presenting, “Options for Publishing in Today’s Market,” at the Meredith Public Library, 91 Main Street, tonight at 6:30 p.m.

The summer of 2012 marks Shaunda’s 10th year in navigating the publishing industry. Her experiences have led her through contracts with NY and foreign publishers, agents, small publishers, local and national magazines, and now, her latest adventure: self-publishing.

Her first book, The Book Lover’s Cookbook, Celebrated Works of Literature and the Passages That Feature Them (Ballantine Books @ Random House) was featured as a National Public Radio holiday gift pick in 2003. She has five titles published for the educational market by Benchmark Education Company and Richard C. Owen Publishers.

These books include Caterpillar Can’t Wait, Watch a Butterfly Grow, How

Many Muffins, Farm Stand Mystery, and In Black Bear Country.

In 2010, she released two books through her own Essemkay Company Productions. The Ghost in Me is a paranormal novel for middle-grade teens and has received noteworthy praise, such as that from award-winning children’s author Rick Walton who described it as “a fun, exciting read.” Her second book, Little Red Riding Hood, Into the Forest Again, won the 2011 KART Kids Book List award for young readers.

Reality Bites, Tales of a Half-Vampire is her newest paranormal book for tweens. She is looking forward to spending an evening with writers and readers—young and old—who love creating and enjoying stories.

All of her books will be available for purchase, with a portion of the sales donated back to the library. For more information about her books visit www.shaundawenger.blogspot.com.

Gifts in honor of late nurse assist Franklin Regional Hospital Auxiliary scholarship FRANKLIN — Each year members of the Franklin Regional Hospital Auxiliary award scholarships to local residents and employees who plan to further their education in the health care field. One such recipient this past winter was Melissa Rizzo, community educator at Franklin Regional Hospital, who has since received certification through the Health Science Institute as a chronic care professional (CCP).

This award was particularly special since it was made possible due to the generosity of family, friends, and colleagues of the late Phebe GulickLeonard. A former nurse at Franklin Regional Hospital, she passed away just a year ago on July 5, with friends and family by her side. In lieu of flowers, she requested donations be made to the FRH Auxiliary Scholarship Program. This tribute in her name resulted in over $4,000 in scholarship support, which will benefit recipients for years to come.

“Phebe lived life to its fullest and left an impres-

sion on everyone she met,” shared her mother Ruth Gulick at a recent gathering with Auxiliary members and award recipient Melissa Rizzo. “Phebe received a similar scholarship for her certification years ago, and this was her way of paying it forward.

She truly left the world a better place.”

Rizzo states, “I’m very grateful to the Gulick family and all of Phebe’s loved ones who made such thoughtful gifts in her memory. This certification program has taught me new skills to expand the work that I’ve been doing with patients at Westside Healthcare as a health coach. One by one I’m able to help patients find tools to make behavioral changes, which are resulting in better health and/ or management of their chronic condition. This has been a very rewarding experience which benefits not just me, but many in our community.”

To learn more about joining the Franklin Regional Hospital Auxiliary or if you’re interested in learning more about the scholarship program please call: 934-2060 ext. 8780 or email: dzujna@metrocast.net.

MEREDITH — Teens Against Destructive Decisions (TADD), a chapter of the National Association of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Student Assistance Counselor Jamie CarrierEdge hosted a Grim Reaper Day on May 16 at Inter-Lakes High School. Throughout the day, students figuratively died in representation of national statistics of those that die every day from tobacco, prescription drug overdose and drunk driving. To represent this, the “Grim Reaper” went to every

classroom, and at a designated time, pointed at a student, held up a sign that said, “You died from drunk driving” (or tobacco or prescription drugs).

Following the encounter with the “Grim Reaper” the student would leave the room, then would return back to class dressed all in black and be silent for the day. Over 75 students participated in this event.

The Inter-Lakes TADD group sponsored this event to raise awareness of the dangers of using and abusing drugs and alcohol.

“Through the years I’ve witnessed firsthand the fact that Ruth truly exemplifies the elements that the Realtor of the Year needs to possess,” says Luann Flood, 2011 Lakes Region Board President and Realtor of the Year for 2011. “Not only does she consistently adhere to the high standards of practice in our profession, but has been steadfast in her commitment to our local and state boards as a director and as a member of various committees. I have no doubt that she will be an excellent representative of our board and our profession in the coming year.”

Since joining the Lakes Region Board of Realtors in 1994, Neidhardt has served on several local committees including Grievance, Professional Standards, Finance, By-Laws and Public Relations, and is currently a board officer, serving as its secretary.

On a state level, Ruth has for the past two years served on the New Hampshire Association of Realtors Legal Committee and Professional Standards Subcommittee.

The award was presented at the June luncheon meeting held at the Wolfeboro Inn. Seventeen of the past award recipients were also in attendance. This award puts her in the running for the New Hampshire Realtor of the Year Award to be announced in September when 16 regional award winners from across the State vie for this recognition which will be presented at the 51st Annual Convention will be held September 9-12 at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside in historic downtown Portsmouth.

Ashland students help improve Railroad Station Museum ASHLAND — The historic Railroad Station Museum will soon be welcoming visitors with a new kiosk style sign and information center. These new additions are the result of a community service project completed by the Class of 2012 at Ashland Elementary School.

munity. The students chose the Ashland Historical Society as their community partner, and working with Jane Sawyer, Bob Baker, and other members of the Society’s Board of Directors, designed and built the kiosk. It features space for information about the railroad station’s history, the two other Ashland Historical Society museums, and society programs and events that the Historical Society will install in the near future.

MEREDITH — The deadline for Meredith Village Savings Bank’s 2012 Photo Contest is rapidly approaching. All entries are due by the close of business on Friday, July 27.

The bank is seeking full-color photographs for its 2013 Community Calendar.

Local photographers can also vie for the chance to have their photos displayed on MVSB’s website at www.mvsb.com.

As in past years, amateur and professional photographers are invited to submit full-color photographs that capture the character and beauty of Belknap, Carroll and Grafton counties. Photos that convey some aspect of community/family life in the Lakes Region – such as community events, landmarks or seasonal pastimes – are also welcome. Local landscape scenes are highly encouraged – especially for the website.

Winners of the calendar contest will have their photographs featured in the full-color 2013 MVSB Community Calendar, which will be available free-of-charge to the community. Winners of the website contest will have their photos featured as the banner photo that appears on the homepage of the bank’s website. Photographers will be awarded a digital picture frame for each photo that is included in the calendar or featured on the bank’s website.

Photographers may enter both the calendar and website contests, but separate entry forms must be submitted for each contest. In addition, the required format for website entries is different from the format for calendar submissions, so entrants should read the submission requirements for each type of entry very carefully.

Visiting Nurses of Meredith & Center Harbor installs new directors MEREDITH — Following a tradition dating back to 1923, the Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor has installed its new board of directors. The eleven member board consists of six returning members augmented by five new members. The board is well representative of both communities and diverse in talent and expertise. It includes members with many years of experience in business, marketing, technology, finance, education and public service in addition to medicine.

The new members include Sen. Jeanie Forrester, Ray Moritz, Carolyn “Sam” Schlemmer, Lydia Torr and Harry Viens.

Sen. Forrester of Meredith is no stranger to the Lakes Region. She brings years of experience in small business ownership and operations not to mention her years in public service. A former executive director of the Greater Meredith Program, she is completing her first term representing District 2 in the State Senate and is seeking re-election.

Moritz has been a seasonal resident of Meredith for over 30 years and since retiring four years ago has become a year round resident. He enjoyed a successful career in the high technology, electronics industry starting as an engineer, progressing through management, and retiring as the president/CEO of Canon’s Information Technology Company.

Schlemmer of Center Harbor is

a registered nurse and is employed at Lakes Region General Hospital.

Currently, she is assigned to Senior Services but her career path will eventually find her in the emergency room. An EMT long before she became a nurse, she has been a member of the Center Harbor Fire Department for many years.

Torr, recently retired librarian of the Meredith Public Library, knows just about everyone in town! Her stint as “Madam Librarian” lasted 38 years. Her lively personality is credited for turning Meredith’s community library into a “cultural center for children and adults” said Chuck Thorndike. “An open-minded visionary, she brought the facility into the digital age.”

Viens brings over 30 years of marketing, communications and business development experience across a broad range of consumer and professional businesses to the board.

While a permanent resident of Center Harbor for a mere four years, yet a seasonal resident of the region since 1982, Harry is very active in town affairs. Currently he is on the town Energy Committee, Conservation Committee and is a member of the Planning Board.

Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor is the local non-profit 501.c3 Medicare certified licensed home health care agency that serves this area. Its caring, professional staff works closely with our clients and

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one you admire is in awe of you, as well. Keep in mind, though, that everyone has a different way of showing feelings, if they choose to show them at all.

Be self-assured, and just do your thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Even though you always learn more by losing than you learn by winning, every time you win there’s something in you that bursts alive. Play short games, and you’ll handle both winning and losing gracefully today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The one who helped you in your time of need also helped you in your time of not needing. The latter help is most rare and should have more weight in your scorekeeping -- if indeed you happen to be keeping score.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love at first glance is more common than people think. What’s harder to understand is how people stay in love after years of gazing upon the same face.

That’s the kind of love you want in your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A frugal approach in all you do will serve you well today. For instance, go for the basic suit. It’s a better value than all of the pricey accessories that go along with it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 17). In the next 10 weeks, you’ll make a move you’ve been wanting to make for a very long time. Your courage will open doors. August and September are the most romantic months, with laughter and dancing. November brings the chance to put away money for future ventures. March brings family together in shared joy. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 24, 38, 28 and 17.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You never know how badly you wanted to unburden your soul until it’s done. Feelings have a way of flying from your lips.

You’ll say what you never meant to say and be so glad you did.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). During the time of the Cancer sun, it’s important to remember that home is a community of sorts. Your expression of love is closely tied to the way you express yourself in the domestic environment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could argue that “your heart isn’t in it,” although no one would listen to such an argument. There are very few who know how to put their heart into the task at hand, and the ones who do are quite busy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). All of the rules of social conduct apply. If you think it’s too late to call someone, it probably is. Bad behavior breeds more of the same. Habits, both good and bad, have a way of rubbing off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Letting others entertain you is fun, but it’s your own impetus that will bring you the most joy. Fly the kite of your imagination. It will take you to surprising places now. Also, it’s much cheaper than other forms of travel.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel compelled to connect others only when you have a fair understanding of where the connection might lead.

Having control over what happens will seem crucial, though it may not actually be crucial.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you want to remember what you did and what happened to you in your lifetime, you are halfway to immortality. The other half is making sure to take pictures and write notes. These are good times.

Page 28 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, July 17, 2012

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My sister, “Lena,” has been a problem for decades. She abused her children physically and continues to abuse the rest of the family emotionally. She is haughty and manipulative and lies to everyone. Her own kids want nothing to do with her.

I am the last person left in the family who talks to Lena. She constantly expects me to run errands for her, loan her money and take care of her when she is sick, which is always. She never reciprocates. This is now affecting my blood pressure, and my children want me to cut her off. I’m ready. But if I do this, it will make certain social situations awkward. We move in the same circles.

It would make it easier to walk away if I had some tools to use. What do I say when people ask about Lena? -- Need the Break Dear Need: It depends on what they are asking. If they want to know how she’s doing, any variation on “fine” or “same as always” is sufficient. If they want to know more, you can simply say, “You should ask Lena.” You don’t want to create a scene or invite a flurry of follow-up questions, so be vague and noncommittal. You don’t owe people an explanation of your relationship or the details of an estrangement.

Dear Annie: My husband, “Mark,” and I have been together for 12 years. It’s a second marriage for both of us. His ex embezzled $30,000 and forged Mark’s name on her credit cards, which she maxed out and he paid for. Their daughter, now 35, calls her father only when she wants money.

Last year, after a health scare, we made our funeral arrangements. Mark’s son died 20 years ago, and at that time, he bought three adjoining cemetery plots. When his ex divorced him, she got the house, car and everything else, but

Mark got the burial plots. When his ex and his daughter saw our prepared headstone next to his son’s grave, they became hysterical.

Annie, I am being cremated, and my ashes are being put in Mark’s headstone. The third cemetery plot is for any family member who might want it. They are solely in Mark’s name.

Apparently, the ex wanted to be buried next to their son and doesn’t want me in the picture at all.

Now Mark’s daughter barely has anything to do with her father. We feel bad about this, but don’t believe we did anything wrong. Any suggestions, or do we just ignore all the drama? -- A Grave Situation Dear Grave Situation: Ignore it. Unless Mark is willing to sell the adjacent plot to his ex-wife, she has no claim on it. If she wants to be buried near her son, she should look at nearby plots and see what she can arrange.

Dear Annie: I think your answer to “Hurting Mother” was way off base. She definitely stated that her granddaughter had unlocked the door, which means she must have locked access to the dog. What more could she have done? It was up to the parents to watch their child.

It appears to me that “Susan” is looking for a way to make an easy buck off the mother she hates so much. I, too, am glad the little girl will be all right, but it’s her parents who have the problem, not her grandmother. -- Huachuca City, Ariz.

Dear Arizona: We must have been sleeping when we read that letter. We agree that Susan sounds like a royal pain and should have kept a closer eye on her child. But it’s the grandmother who has the problem. She wants to see her grandchild again, and an apology may be the only way to do it.
