101-yearold Doris Barnes is now holder of city’s Centennial Cane

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Laconia Historical & Museum Society presented the Centennial Cane on Tuesday to 101 year-old Doris Barnes, the city’s eldest resident.

The tradition of presenting the cane to the most senior of Laconians was started in 1993, the year the city celebrated its centennial. The first recipient was Madeline Whelan. The practice was left idle for nearly 20 years, when it was revived several months ago by the Society, which underwent an exhaustive search to find the cane’s rightful recipient.

Barnes was presented with the cane, a bouquet of flowers and a plaque at her home, where she lives with some help from her daughter.

City residents might recognize Barnes from her 2008 run for the School Board. Others might remember her from an 80-year career as an educator, including 18 years of post-retirement tutoring. She worked as see DORIS page 10

Estranged grandson revealed as accused in Gilford gun theft

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Taped phone conversations from jail, a concerned parent, and a safe buried in a fire pit were some of the keys that allowed the Gilford Police to charge a young Laconia man with the Sept. 5, 2011 theft of seven guns from a Saltmarsh Pond Road home in Gilford.

According to affidavits obtained from N.H. 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division Andrew Soboleski, 20, described by police as the “estranged” grandson of victim Harry Bean III, allegedly broke into to his grandfather’s home while two of his friends waited outside in the car. Bean was on vacation at the time.

Police affidavits said they in part con-

firmed Soboleski’s involvement when one of his alleged co-conspirators, Ryan Tuttle of 23 Saltmarsh Pond, told his sister over a recorded line at the Belknap County Jail that he “didn’t even want to do that (expletive),” and mentions that he was with Soboleski and a third man during the burglary.

Oregon man recovering from rare case of plague

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — One look at Paul Gaylord’s hands shows why the plague is referred to as “Black Death.”

The welder’s oncestrong hands have been withered by the cellkilling infection and darkened to the color of charcoal. Doctors are waiting to see if they can save a portion of his fingers, but the outlook is grim for the man who needs them for his livelihood.

“I don’t think I can do my job,” Gaylord said in a phone interview from a Bend, Ore., hospital.

“I’m going to lose all my fingers on both hands.

I don’t know about my thumbs. The toes — I might lose all them, too.”

Gaylord, who turns 60 next month, contracted a rare case of the plague trying to take a mouse from the jaws of a choking cat at his home in Prineville, in rural Oregon.

He faces a difficult recovery now that he’s out of intensive care.

His family is trying to raise money to get him into a new house, because the manufactured home he was see PLAGUE page 9

Penn State to quickly decide if self-imposed penalties in order STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State said Tuesday it will respond within days to the NCAA’s demand for information as the governing body decides whether the university should face penalties — including a possible shutdown of its storied football program — in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

Penn State President Rodney Erickson said he doesn’t want to “jump to conclusions” about possible sanctions after the head of the NCAA declared the so-called

death penalty has not been ruled out.

The NCAA is investigating whether Penn State lost “institutional control” over its athletic program and violated ethics rules. The probe had been on hold for eight months while former FBI Director Louis Freeh conducted an investigation on behalf of the school’s board of trustees. Freeh’s 267-page report, released last week, asserted that late football coach Joe Paterno and three top officials buried allegations against Sandusky, his retired

defensive coordinator, more than a decade ago to protect the university’s image.

Sandusky was convicted last month of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. He awaits sentencing.

Penn State, with the results of its own investigation in hand, can turn its attention to the NCAA, Erickson said.

“The NCAA has indicated that they’d like me to respond ... as quickly as possible now that we have the Freeh report,” he see PENN STATE page 12

NEW YORK (AP) — After a confidential two-year review, the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday emphatically reaffirmed its policy of excluding gays, angering critics who hoped that relentless protest campaigns might lead to change.

The Scouts cited support from parents as a key reason for keeping the policy and expressed hope that the prolonged debate over it might now subside. Bitter reactions

from gay-rights activists suggested that result was unlikely.

The Scouts’ national spokesman, Deron Smith, told The Associated Press that an 11-member special committee, formed discreetly by top Scout leaders in 2010, came to the conclusion that the exclusion policy “is absolutely the best policy” for the 102-year-old organization.

Smith said the committee, comprised of

professional scout executives and adult volunteers, was unanimous in its conclusion — preserving a long-standing policy that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000 and has remained controversial ever since.

As a result of the committee’s decision, the Scouts’ national executive board will take no further action on a resolution subsee BOY SCOUTS page 13

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — A gunman stood outside of a crowded downtown bar and opened fire from two different positions early Tuesday, sending patrons running or crawling for cover in a chaotic and bloody scene. At least 17 people were hurt as bullets ricocheted and glass shards and brick chunks fell around the nightclub.

Nathan Van Wilkins, 44, surrendered about 10 hours after the 12:30 a.m. shooting near the University of Alabama campus, police said. The rampage started a couple of miles away about 45 minutes earlier, police said, when Wilkins knocked on the door to a home and waited for a person to answer it. He then started firing,

wounding the person.

Wilkins was also suspected of setting three fires to equipment or property owned by his former employer, an oil and gas company.

Police were not sure of a motive. They were investigating whether the shootings came from a dispute between rival motorsee ALABAMA page 11

Cat completes 6-mile trek Jury to decide if golf cart should have had warning label back to its Bedford home BEDFORD, N.H. (AP) — Animal rescue league officials say they don’t know how a black cat walked about 6 miles in three days to find his way back home in New Hampshire.

Wollie the cat has been reunited with Barbara Oliphant.

She began caring for the stray last summer. But when her husband was hospitalized with a stroke, she said she couldn’t give Wollie much attention and turned him over to the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire in Bedford in early June.

Her husband began getting better, and Oliphant missed Wollie — a name that came from her husband’s nickname, “Oli” — terribly. Her daughter secretly adopted the 3-year-old cat on June 23 with the intention of surprising her mother with the return of her much-missed pet, but Wollie poked a paw through his zippered carrier in the parking lot and escaped.

Three days later, Oliphant said she spotted Wollie crossing a road leading to the house.

“I just felt it was a miracle,” she said. “I felt the cat wanted us.”

He ate three cans of cat food and slept for about 24 hours.

“Only he knows the story, where he went, what he was doing,” Laura Montenegro of the rescue league said. “I just still can’t get over it.”

N.H. unemployment rate ticks up to 5.1%

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s unemployment rate in June was 5.1 percent, slightly higher than the 5 percent rate in May. The June 2011 rate was 5.5 percent.

The number of employed residents for this June was 703,950, a decrease of 450 from the previous month and an increase of 7,570 from June 2011.

The national unemployment rate for June was 8.2 percent, unchanged from the May rate and a decrease of 0.9 percentage points from June 2011.

way last month for an undisclosed sum of money.

During his opening statement, Osterman played a clip from a video deposition of Roderick Jenks in which he says he would “stop his school bus on a dime” if he saw a child standing. He said during the deposition that it would be his fault if he didn’t tell them to sit down and someone got hurt.

Osterman also stressed that at the time of the accident, Jenks was 6 feet tall and weighed about 310 pounds. The lawyer said Jenks’ size 11 shoes would not have fit fully from the front to the rear of the golf bag platform.

“Rod wasn’t a golfer,” Mawhinney said. “He’d never been on a golf cart. He did what he saw others doing.”

Mawhinney said Textron should have issued warning labels for its carts after learning of a Tennessee golfer who suffered fatal injuries in a fall from the back of a golf cart. Osterman countered that a federal National Consumer Products Safety Commission investigation of that accident concluded that no recall or warning labels were needed.

Osterman, who insisted on calling the vehicle a “golf car” because of its similarity to an automobile, blamed “horseplay” by the 20-year-old speedway employee driving the cart. He said she was speeding and playing “chicken” with an acquaintance on the see GOLF CART page 7

Speaker wants to know how many relatives working together CONCORD (AP) — In the wake of a scandal at the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security, House Speaker Bill O’Brien is asking the heads of all state agencies to tell him whether any of them have family members working in their departments.

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

for their daughters. In a letter to commissioners and deputy commissioners Tuesday, O’Brien says he wants to identify whether there is a widespread nepotism problem or this was an isolated occurrence by leaders of a rogue agency.

Under state law, relatives are allowed to work together, but department heads and supervisors cannot be involved in hiring relatives or in making supervisory decisions that affect them.

CONCORD (AP) — A lawyer for a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was thrown from a swerving golf cart at New Hampshire Motor Speedway told jurors Tuesday that cart manufacturer Textron should be held liable for not warning people against riding on the back of the cart where golf bags are stowed.

Textron’s lawyer countered that Roderick Jenks, of Wilder, Vt. drove a school bus for a living at the time of the 2006 accident and should have known better than to stand on a moving vehicle.

“There is going to be no evidence that a warning on this car would have told Mr. Jenks anything he didn’t already know and appreciate,” Textron attorney David Osterman told jurors.

The lawsuit was filed by Jenks’ wife, Melissa, who is her 53-year-old husband’s legal guardian. Attorney Daniel Mawhinney told the jury Rod Jenks has almost no short-term memory and cannot be allowed to leave the house alone because he would get lost.

The accident occurred July 16, 2006, during a race weekend at the speedway. Jenks was among 1,500 volunteers raising money for charities or teams when the golf cart he was standing on swerved sharply, sending him to the pavement. Jenks was raising money for Fishin’ for Kids, a New Hampshire charity.

Is Mitt serious about Condi?

The first criterion in choosing a vice president, it is said, is that he or she must be qualified to be president. Yet there is another yardstick by which candidates measure running mates. Do they bring something to the table? Can they help with a critical voting bloc? Can they bring a crucial state?

Lyndon Johnson is regarded as a brilliant choice by JFK, though his brother Bobby, among others in the Kennedy camp, loathed LBJ. LBJ locked up Texas and helped bring home five other former Confederate states for the Roman Catholic nominee from Boston.

In deciding on a vice president candidate, many considerations have to be running through Mitt Romney’s mind.His choice must be seen as ready to be president or at least able to attain that status in short order, and augment his strength with a strategic constituency or help corral a major state he would otherwise have difficulty winning.

Then there is the iron rule of the Hippocratic Oath: Primum non nocere. First, do no harm. The VP candidate also should be conversant with a panoply of issues, fully prepared to defend the nominee’s positions on domestic, foreign and economic policies. Such considerations suggest that whoever in Romney’s camp floated the name of Condi Rice to The Drudge Report last weekend was more concerned with changing the subject from Bain Capital and the Caymans than in signaling where the candidate’s head and heart are today.

That Rice is accomplished and competent is not in dispute. But should Romney choose her, within hours we would be re-litigating the Iraq War. It was, recall, Rice who slapped down skeptics of that war by implying their reluctance to invade Iraq might just be risking a nuclear surprise attack on the United States. “There will always be some uncertainty about how quickly Saddam can acquire nuclear weapons,” said Rice. “But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.”

Rice was George W. Bush’s leading saleslady for a war that cost America $1-trillion, 4,500 dead and 35,000 wounded, and cost the Republican Party both houses of Congress in 2006 and the presidency in 2008. That war is today regarded by many U.S. foreign policy scholars as among the greatest strategic blunders in American history.

Should Rice be chosen, she will be spending much of the campaign defending her role in that war.

And Gov. Romney will find himself defending, or disagreeing with, what George W. Bush did a decade ago.

Rice is by her own admission “mildly pro-choice” on abortion, a position mildly anathema to religious conservatives, the foot soldiers of the party, many of whom have been only lately won over to the governor himself.

Rice’s whole career has been devoted to foreign policy. Can she be brought up to speed in weeks to learn and recite the new catechism of the party and defend it from a hostile press or in debate with Joe Biden?

Most Republicans have no idea where Condi stands or what she believes about right to life, gay marriage, affirmative action and the Arizona immigration law.

Asked whom she voted for in 2008, Rice reportedly said, “I just want to acknowledge that when the (2008) election took place and after the election took place, it was a special time for Americans.”

Did the candidacy of John McCain make it a “special time”?

My friend and former White House colleague Peggy Noonan says that when she mentioned the possibility of Condi Rice as vice president to a gathering of business types, “spontaneous applause burst forth.” Condi’s nomination, she wrote, would be truly “exciting.”

Peggy’s got that right. The right is boiling with excitement already.

But would it be wise for Romney, who bears no responsibility for the record of George W. Bush, to choose a running mate who would force him to defend a Wilsonian policy of compulsive interventions across the globe “to end tyranny in our world”?

The choice of Rice would be a Romney endorsement of the Bush foreign policy of which she was coarchitect, having spent four years as the national security adviser and four as secretary of state.

Tim Pawlenty could help carry Minnesota. Sen. Rob Portman could help secure Ohio. Sen. Marco Rubio would likely deliver Florida and help in a Hispanic community that is 16-percent of the U.S. population and may in 2012 constitute 9-percent of the vote.

Can Condi Rice deliver California? What does she bring?

When a candidate is facing what seems an insurmountable lead, he will often consider a roll of the dice. Ronald Reagan’s team, 20 points down, considered putting ex-president Gerald Ford on the ticket. Walter Mondale, 20 points down, picked a congresswoman from Queens whom America did not know. John McCain picked Sarah Palin.

But candidates who are running even tend not to take huge risks.

Surely there are other ways to shift the subject from Bain Capital. see next page

LETTERS Karl Rove’s fingerprints are all over plot to take votes from Obama To the editor, To take as many voters away from Pres. Obama as possible. The light bulb just went off in my head when a cousin who is Catholic priest called to let us know that he will be coming for a visit. Now I understand why those on the right are trying to strategically take votes away from our president and how they are going about it.

Find a group of people who will believe anything they are told. Feed “it” to them on a daily basis so they think that it will affect them. Now you must remember

that the group chosen must be a huge voting bloc, such as those who belong to the Catholic Church. When they find a point(s) that will cause a major stir they will then go for the jugular.

Case in point with Catholics, covering women for medical necessities, including birth control who work for Catholic-based businesses.

In my opinion Karl Rove is an evil genius. I can see his thumbprint on this plot.

Witchcraft minus the vodoo – but retaining the hocus-pocus To the editor, I see the high priest is at it again.

As I noted in a previous letter, the Art of E-Craft is like witchcraft minus the voodoo but retaining the hocus-pocus.

In this week’s episode, the Grand Wizard, E-Scott Cracraft, puts forth another tired spell in which he seeks to cast those who dare question his defined “experts” within town government as being “embittered extremists.” How dare any citizens who will ultimately foot the bill to pay for the experts’ plans and dreams present opposing points of view or alternative solutions to problems, real, or, in some cases, perceived? For the Warlock, ALL big-statist government types MUST be supported, at any cost. For him, NO tax dollar spent is wasted... EXCEPT when spent in defense against those who would be extreme enough to want the results of elections to matter. THEN, the wily practitioner of E-Craft magically turns into a conservative: “How DARE they waste my money on such frivolity!”

Educated by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart many years ago, I was taught that in the Soviet Union, MANY elections and referenda were held just like here in America, except that those in that communist land were all but a sham — the results were fixed, and when that failed, the powers that be never shied from a little intimidation or heavy-handedness to get the desired result. Failing that, the results were simply nullified. My guess is that had he had the good fortune to have been born in that land back in its hammer and sickle heyday, Warlock E-Craft would have happily claimed the moniker “Comrade” Cracraft. Why, perhaps he’d even drop the “E”!

inner Dr. Who, where else might a time and space travelling E-Crafter visit that would be so agreeable to his governing (and mouth-running) philosophies? Let’s imagine a nation. A great nation. An Aryan nation. One filled with bureaucrats and apparatchiks and unelected experts and yes-men of every stripe. In this nation, EVERYBODY marches in lock step- the goose-step, actually. Dissent is swiftly dealt with. When decrees are given, people react. There’s no debate, only compliance. What a perfect world for an E-Crafter! Everybody’s on board, and everybody’s in full support of the government and its public sector. The industrialists and producers? They do the absolute bidding of the great leader and his henchmen... er, leadership team, populated by nothing but experts. Could this be Utopia? The Valhalla of E-Craft?

In this great land, ruled by such wise men and experts, with no interference by the unknowing folk (volk?) life is grand. The trains run on time and those deemed by the experts as “inferior” or “undesirable” (or vermin) are, much like those who question (“embittered extremists”), swiftly dealt with.

“What is this?” asks the naked person with the serial number on his arm.

“It’s for your own good,” comes the expert’s reply. “But I’m afraid,” says the shivering man. “Don’t worry — it’s just a shower. For delousing.”

One only wonders if our travelling Warlock would end up as a compliant recipient of his expert-mandated ZyklonB shower, or one of the many supporters of the process cheering at the gate. No matter, as long as he ends up doing the experts’ bidding. Without question.

LETTERS My First Amendment means too much to sign ‘Aspiration’ petition To the editor, Some where around 105 days left until the voters of this great country decide if they want to continue down the road to one of those “isms” — socialism, communism, fascism — or put the brakes on and tackle the economy AND decreasing the deficit that Obama has increased by “trillions”.

My wife and I spend a lot of time discussing the future, for our grandchildren. We are awaiting those who see the future as we do, to get involved — don’t remain silent or on the sidelines and allow this country to be taken from your descendants!

One only has to hear the words of Obama to see his vision of one of the “isms”, where the competitive spirit will not exist, where there is very little expected of you, and where success with financial rewards is no longer looked upon by your fellow Americans as a good thing.

I noticed that after I called out the Community Aspirations petition signers they have withheld their insulting remarks to a letter. That is of course, with the exception of E. Scott, who also made it an issue that he wanted to have his name on that petition.

I note that E. Scott mentioned my name today in one of his rants. Now that is setting an example of tolerance, and you have at least two letters where you attack others. Aren’t you the same fellow who tried to get the Lamberts in trouble because it was their decision to send their children to Holy Trinity rather than your government schools.

E. Scott, you must be a BIG supporter of Barack Hussein Obama and his goals.

I did not sign your petition, unlike you sir, I am not a hypocrite. My First Amendment means too much to me to sign it away.

Consultant will help county give taxpayers a project that’s done right To the editor, I am pleased that the Belknap County Delegation has approved a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $160,000 to allow the County to move forward with its corrections planning process. The funds will be used to pay a planning consultant to assist in the next phase of the process which will take us from the findings of the Bennet report to the actual design of a facility.

David Bennet was hired last year to provide a comprehensive report on the status of our current criminal justice system to include, among other things, rates of incarceration, sentencing trends, mental health and substance abuse factors and the efficacy of our release and rehabilitation programs.

This report was presented at a symposium in late January 2012 and it clearly recommended that the next step in our process include a jail planning consultant. That recommendation came after the commissioners’ budget had been presented to the delegation. The commissioners had originally hoped that the consultant could be paid for from our existing budget. An extensive review of the current budget led us to the conclusion that it could not. Part of the problem is the soaring cost of our current corrections operation due to dramatically increased population and longer pretrial and post-sentencing incarceration. We are working daily to address these issues and manage the costs, but this spring we were forced to send inmates to another county because of severe overcrowding. These factors led to the difficult decision to seek a supplemental appropriation in order to keep moving forward.

There have been suggestions that stimulus money used for repairs and upgrades to county facilities, particularly administrative renovations, should have been used for the jail. Our decision to renovate the administrative space had several components. First, the renovation addressed serious safety and work environment concerns. These

were not high dollar renovations, but reasonable, sensible upgrades. Second, the renovation allowed us to provide a physical space in which to consolidate county-wide administrative functions in a single location.

The consolidation of certain administrative jobs allowed for the elimination of duplicate functions at remote locations and resulted, through staff consolidation, attrition, program adjustments, and layoffs in a savings in excess of $800,000. Finally, we have created a functional, safe space to carry out the county’s business and to accommodate public functions, training and employee meetings on site.

Coupled with our IT infrastructure and software upgrades, we continue to build efficiency in operations.

It is also important to note that the projects undertaken by the county pursuant to stimulus programs were all “shovel-ready.” We did not even have the Bennet report when this work was started. The Bennet report was paid for with stimulus dollars.

Over the past four years we have done over $2.7-million in infrastructure upgrades and repairs with stimulus money. These are projects which were needed, but were not suitable, either because of the nature of the project or the cost, that could not be good candidates for bonding. This was done while we faced declining revenue, but saw no increase in the tax impact on the city or towns in Belknap County. We intend that the county corrections program for Belknap County will be right for Belknap County. The taxpayers deserve a project that is done right, and that is economical, efficient and effective in serving the needs of our communities, and that is what we intend to deliver.

LETTERS Call us what you like, we conservatives have thick skins and will reply with humor To the editor, I swear to God folks, I did not put L.J. up to his/ her latest literary, oxymoronic letter in the July 5th edition of this paper. According to L.J’.s “unbiased” account of my letters, they are filled with “toxic political rhetoric, hate and finger pointing”.

My letters have apparently “become filled with rage so extreme and sputtering hatred of others points of view, so over the top” that I am harming myself and political discourse. It seems, I am an example of destructive personal animosity plus “ginned up outrage and full throated desire to destroy others with opposing beliefs”. His proof of my over the top rhetoric? I called some modern day liberals “moonbats, bird brains, Kool-Aid drinkers and thin skinned elitists”. Well shut my mouth and lock me up cuz no meaner words have ever been uttered by others, especially kind and compassionate liberals. Well, at least I think I have handled being called a curmudgeon and a knuckle dragging neanderthal with skin as thick as well, a neanderthal.

Let me remind L.J. and readers as to some of the mild mannered comments that have been made in reference to conservative, tea party types over the last three years. Democrats and the liberal media have called conservative blacks Uncle Toms, sellouts to whitey, oreo cookies, porch monkeys, Aunt Jemima and monkey in the window. Don’t believe me, go ask Herman Cain, Lloyd Marcus, Tim Scott, Allen West, Deneen Borelli, David Webb, Eric Rush, Star Parker and even Juan Williams, a liberal. Democratic congresswomen Maxine Waters called Ron Christie a sellout for working for a Republican, although that was way back in the 1990s. And speaking of Juan Williams, he got canned by NPR for political incorrectness. Kenneth Gladney, a black tea party participant was beaten by SEIU thugs for being on the wrong side and exercising his free speech rights.

How about this for a fair and rational union rally comment, “If teabaggers are as hot as their Fox News anchors, then I’m here for the gang bang”.

Leland Robinson, a black tea party activist was told by liberal white labor supporters, to “get behind the fence where you belong” and “do you have any children? That you claim?” Our own president said that Governor Scott Walker was “assaulting the unions” and demanded that folks of Hispanic descent, go to the polls to “defeat the enemy”.

I could write a term paper just about the assault on folks who dare to associate with a tea party, but

I will only offer a few more examples. MSNBC commentators gleefully repeating the vulgar, sexist reference “teabaggers” while giggling at their clever play on words. President Clinton referencing potential tea party violence by associating them with Timothy McVeigh. N.Y. Times claiming they are a bunch of homophobes. Time magazine columnist, Joe Klein claiming the tea party are likely committing sedition against the government.

Another term paper could be written about the lefts’ assault on Christians. Here’s one lovely example from NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu, “The evaporation of four million (people) who believe in this (Christian ) crap would leave this world a better place”. Liberal attacks on conservative blacks could cover the pages of war and peace. Here’s another beauty from USA columnist Julianne Malveaux while being interviewed on NPR and referencing supreme court justice Clarence Thomas: “The man is on the court. You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease. He is an absolutely reprehensible person”.

Now we come to Leo Sandy. L.J. says that he has “never read of the professor ‘attacking and demeaning’ those who take issue with his ‘quixotic’ views”.

Again, it could be term paper time, but I’ll try to be brief with just a few of his “fair and objective” quotes.

“The tea party is influenced by slogans, fear and quick fixes.” “Surveys show tea party members tending toward authoritarianism, libertarianism and fear of change”. Seems no one ever told the professor that libertarians desire more freedom for citizens than either Democrats or Republicans, but I digress.

“They also like to hold anti-immigrant views.” Back in the summer and fall of 2010, professor Sandy took to amateur diagnosing patriotic Republicans as “lacking of soul and conscience” and “they don’t care about kids, the elderly and “freedom” while being prone to violence”. Oh yes, he also proclaimed that Republicans are “anti-intellectuals”.

In his “The Parenting of Nazis” column, he equates most authoritarian parents to those on the far right. To most intellectual leftists, “far right” is liberal codespeak as a way of categorizing most Republicans and certainly all conservatives and tea party enthusiasts. He then goes on to connect the dots: authoritarians = right wingers = Nazis. At the end of his column, he comes to this wonderful conclusion:”When I read about the fanatical obses-

Now Open in Meredith

sion and indiscriminate violence of fundamentalist Muslims and their American counterparts preoccupied with anti-Muslim fear and hatred that has been generalized to all immigrants — legal and illegal — I wonder how similar their childhoods might have been”. Final connect the dot analysis: right wing tea party types = authoritarians = Nazis = radical, fundamentalist Muslims. Then in his America’s 4 Fundamentalisms column, he discusses an article by one of his favorite writers and social critics, Professor Henry A. Giroux of BU. He expounds on the scary religious fervor of Republicans and subsequent lack of reasoning and tolerance. “This is a deeply disturbing trend . . . as radical Christians and evangelicals embrace and impose a moralism on Americans that is largely bigoted, patriarchal, uncritical and insensitive . . . This Taliban-like moralism now boldly translates into everyday cultural practices and political policies as right wing evangelicals live out their messianic view of the world”.

So L.J., how is that for starters? Many months ago, I challenged “liberal nation” stating that for every right wing slander, I’ll match that with two or more from the left. After digesting this information, sighting actual mind blowing attacks from the left, wouldn’t one have to be a “mooncalf” to be so offended by being called a “moonbat”? If that offends any “thin skinned elitists” out there, then perhaps L.J. will sponsor a “can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen” pity party for you all. Try as you might, all you modern day liberals, you are just not going to demean and destroy us and shut us up with hypocritical assaults on our constitutional and moral convictions. That would be like allowing your superheated rhetoric to transform all of us into smoldering mounds of bovine excrement. That just wouldn’t be pretty. Though, you may call us that if you like.

We conservatives have thick skins. Rather than take offense, we are just as likely to reply in a satirical, “tongue in cheek” manner. Yes indeed, sweet smelling fertilizer for those who haven’t lost their sense of humor.

Oh, by the way L.J., I haven’t forgotten that you said in your March 22nd letter while referencing anyone who questions our current president’s policies, “abject fear mongering and racism” can be the only explanation. Ah yes, nothing says “dialing back the toxic political rhetoric, hate and finger pointing” like calling those who disagree with liberals and their policies as “racists”. Right L.J.?

Community brought into discussion of goals for Laconia’s public schools

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — What exactly is a strategic planning workshop?

At the Laconia Middle School last night it was a room filled with educators, parents, community leaders, elected officials, and school district administrators gathered to set a goal about where they want the School District to be at the end of next year.

“This is an amazing turnout,” said Mayor Mike Seymour who joined the session for the first hour. “I’m here to support the buy-in of the whole city to the School District.

The workshop, according to Superintendent Bob Champlin, is the community oversight of the School Board’s mission — to bring together technology, buildings, curriculum, professional development, the community, and public relations to educate tomorrow’s leaders.

The participants were broken into four different tables — each with a facilitator and each to rotate through four main components of the Laconia Strategic Plan — early childhood education, technology, health and wellness and “200 by 2020” — a regional plan to get 200 local business involved in education-related issues at all grade levels, including college, by the year 2020.

In his welcoming comments, School Board Chair Bob Dassatti said the plan dates back to 1997 or 1998 and was developed to give the schools a direction. At the time he said it was

largely based on facilities or buildings.

But, said Dassatti, like former school board member Ed Philpot said, the strategic plan has to be a “living document” that can stand up to time and change as the needs of the district changes.

“It’s proven this plan can take us places,” he said noting that in the 15 years since it was first created the Middle School has been built, all three elementary schools have been renovated and the Huot Regional Technical Education Center expansion/renovation is about to become a reality.

He encouraged all the participants to say what they have to say. “If you have an idea, put it out there,” he said.

He said the key thing to remember was the past is past and the goal of the plan was to chart the future.

“You’ve seen some negative things in the newspapers but you’ve got to let that go,” he said.

He said every plan has a beginning, a middle, and an end and last night’s work shop was the beginning of next year’s immediate goals as well as the continuation of the long-range goals of the district.

Thanking the participants for taking the time to come, Dassatti described the turnout as “awesome” and reminded the crowd that without oversight and community accountability, any plan is strategically useless.

Input gathered from the workshop will be compiled, an updated plan will be written, and later approved by the School Board.

GILFORD — Police are investigating a two-car crash at the intersection of Lily Pond Road and Lake Shore Road at 8:59 p.m. Monday that sent three people to the hospital with what police are describing as minor injuries.

Police said the two vehicles — one a Saab 4-door sedan being driven by Collin Crecco of Gilford and the other a Ford Explorer being driven by Karen Hardie of Weymouth, Mass. — collided causing the Explorer to rollover before

coming to a rest on the shoulder of the roadway.

Police said the traffic lights at the intersection were on flashing mode because of night construction.

Neither Crecco nor his passenger were injured but Hardie and her two passengers in the Explorer were taken to Lakes Region General Hospital.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision to call the Gilford Police at 527-4737.

GOLF CART from page 3 ground when the accident occurred.

“You’ll hear there’s a bit of a Wild West attitude on race day,” Osterman said.

Jenks was in court briefly during jury selection Tuesday morning.

Mawhinney said he expects he will testify so jurors can gauge his limited abilities.

The Jenks family is seeking an unspecified amount of damages from

Textron for loss of consortium, his lost wages, his past medical bills and his care going forward. Mawhinney told jurors it would cost upward of $3 million just to cover Rod Jenks’ lost wages and continuing care.

Textron — headquartered in Providence, R.I. — is a leading defense contractor and also is one of the three largest manufacturers of golf carts in the country.

MEREDITH — The dispute over the use of the trade name Waukewan Watershed Association is stalemated after the Friends of Waukewan and Winona Association and the Waukewan Shore Owners Association, both of which claim title to the name, held their annual meetings last Saturday.

In 2009, as debate about the operating level of Lake Waukewan began to divide shorefront property owners, a group favoring a lower level, registered as the “Friends of Waukewan and Winona Association,” with the New Hampshire Secretary of State.

On July 12, 2011, Janan Hays, on behalf of the “Friends,” also registered the trade name “Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association,” which appears on the group’s 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 consent of the other organization, which it adamantly refused to grant.

Instead, on May 18, 2012 the Waukewan and Winona Protective Association itself registered the name “Waukewan Watershed Association,” along with a handful of similar names, and advised the media of the Secretary of State’s ruling and claimed that the shore owners were breaking to the law by using the name.

Officials of both organizations have hitherto declined to comment on the GUNS from page one arrested a few days after the burglary on unrelated charges of unlawful manufacture of a controlled drug and three counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Tuttle is also on a jail tape as allegedly trying to get a message through his grandmother to Steven Holland, 30, telling him that “those two firearms that he sold to Jim need to be brought to the police.”

Affidavits go on to say that on the day Tuttle was arrested, September 26, 2011, police executed a search warrant at Tuttle’s home arresting him and Holland, who was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon.

After Holland was charged and booked, he agreed to speak with the Gilford Police, telling them the safe stolen from Bean’s home was buried beneath a fire pit on Tuttle’s property.

Holland, who also listed his address as 23 Saltmarsh Pond, led police through the woods to the fire pit where police found the safe and dug it up. Bean identified it as his.

Tuttle’s sister also told police she had seen some of the stolen firearms for herself the day after the September 5 burglary and described five of

dispute. However, in a letter to this newspaper Chuck Braxton, president of the shore owners organization, explains that in New Hampshire title to a trade name can be acquired by either registering it with the Secretary of State or establishing a common law right to it through usage. He said that the name “Waukewan Watershed Association” first appeared in the minutes of the shore owners association in the spring of 2011 and was used to announce the organization’s annual meeting in July 9, 2011.

According to Braxton, members of what was then the Friends of Waukewan and Winona Association attended the annual meeting and only began filing trade names with the Secretary of State after the meeting on July 12, behavior he called “entirely disingenuous.” He claims that a review of the record confirmed that the shore owners began using the name “Waukewan Watershed Association” before the other group registered it as a trade name. Braxton said that after considering petitioning the Belknap County Superior Court to affirm the shore owners right to the name, the association decided against it.

Hays could not be reached yesterday for comment.

Meanwhile, among the trade names Hays registered was that of the “Waukewan Watershed Advisory,” which was established by the Meredith Board of Selectmen in 2004.

The statute governing trade names (RSA 292:3) prohibits corporations from taking “the name of an agency or instrumentality of the United States or this state or a subdivision thereof.”

When Randy Eifert, chairman of the committee learned it had been registered as a trade name, he advised Town Manager Phil Warren, who said yesterday that he has referred the matter to the town’s legal counsel.

them. Police said the descriptions matched those given them by Bean.

She also gave police the name of another young woman who was dating Holland and who had also seen the guns. She also told police that her friend showed up one day with a black eye and when asked how she got it, she said her parents had found two of the guns in safe and that her father had hit her.

While Holland’s girlfriend refused to speak with police, her mother did, telling them her daughter broke down on September 29 and told her she had two firearms in the trunk of her car.

The woman denied they were ever in the house and she also denied the alleged assault by her husband on her daughter. She told police her daughter brought them back to where ever she got them the next day.

Eight months passed and on July 13, 2012, Holland’s girlfriend agreed to speak with Gilford Police. She told them she recognized the revolver recovered by police in a September 22, 2011 Belmont incident involving her, Holland, Tuttle and a third man as one she saw in Tuttle’s and Soboleski’s bedroom the night of the burglary.

Bean identified the revolver as his. see next page

Lakeport’s Hazel Noyes marks 96th birthday with bumpy ride in friend’s 1948 Dodge pickup

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — ‘’It was a little bumpy, but it was good,’’ said Hazel Noyes of Lakeport, who celebrated her 96th birthday Tuesday with a ride in a 1948 Dodge pickup truck. ‘’It’s almost old enough to start collecting Social Security’’ Noyes said of the truck, which belongs to Billy Smith, who mows her lawn and says he wanted to do something special for Hazel on her birthday. ‘’It’s just a spin around the block. The pickup doesn’t have seat belts and I didn’t want to shake her up too much,’’ said Smith, owner of Lawn Smith of New England.

His pickup truck has the license plate “Texian”, and Smith still has his Lone Star State accent and is proud of the fact that his pickup truck also hails from Texas.

Noyes, who was born in western Vermont, not far from the Canadian border, is a 78-year member of the Esther Rebekah Lodge, having first joined the Rebekahs when she lived in Ashland in 1934. ‘’I moved to Lakeport in 1947, just a year before this truck was built,’’ says Noyes, who still has memPLAGUE from page 2 living in has a leaky roof, a moldy bathroom and mice — dangerous living conditions for a man with a weakened immune system.

Some of Soboleski’s cousins also said they saw him at his grandfather’s house the morning of the burglary and he told them he was there to check on his grandfather’s lawn furniture in the wake of Hurricane Irene.

Police arrested Soboleski Monday afternoon and yesterday Judge Timothy McKenna ordered he be held on $50,000 cash bail or surety bond.

Police said yesterday they expect to make more arrests.

She is a long-time member of the United Baptist Church in Lakeport, which she and her late husband, Herbert, attended for years and where she is still a valued member of the congregation.

Noyes said that when she lived in Ashland she worked at the Batchelder House, a 20 room tourist home near the Ashland-Holderness town which was just across Rte. 3 from Little Squam Lake.

After moving to Lakeport she worked for many years as a secretary at Lake City Beverage, which was owned

by Gerry Morin, who was a Laconia mayor during the 1950s, and her husband worked in the office for Public Service Company of New Hampshire.

A long-time friend of Noyes, Larry Leonard, who is the organist at the United Baptist Church, says he first met Hazel in 1977, and that she is an inspiration to all who know her. ‘’She is just so full of life and is a truly remarkable woman. Everyone who knows her loves her and thinks the world of her,’’ said Leonard, who helped organize the surprise birthday ride for Hazel. more,” said his sister, Diana Gaylord. “We thought that was an ancient, ancient disease.”

The bacterium that causes the plague is carried by fleas, which can infect people and animals. The disease that killed millions in the Middle Ages is extremely rare in current times — an average of seven cases occur in the U.S. each year.

Gaylord’s illness began after he saw a stray cat — who he’d named Charlie — with a dead mouse jammed in the back of his throat. The cat appeared to be choking, so Gaylord and a friend attempted to dislodge the mouse.

The distressed cat bit his hand. Unable to remove the mouse, Gaylord shot Charlie to end his suffering and buried him in the yard.

Two days later, he awoke with a fever and chills.

An Army veteran who rarely visits a doctor, Gaylord felt sick enough to go to the Veterans Administration outpatient clinic in nearby Bend. But the clinic had so many patients that doctors couldn’t see him for more than a week.

SENATE 2 from page one said yesterday, referring to an event hosted by the League of Women Voters as an example. “He brought it to me and I agreed to do it,” she said.

According to Lamb, he e-mailed Forrester proposing five events in Meredith, Plymouth, Haverhill, Bristol and Tilton. He said he chose Bristol because it was within easy reach of a number of the smaller towns in Grafton County and Tilton, the only one of

five towns in Belknap County added to the district by redistricting. He also expressed his willingness to go to any other town in the district where voters invited the two candidates to appear together.

At this point each claims that overtures to the other failed to elicit a response. In any event, both agreed that they reaffirmed their intent to arrange the debates while campaigning in Ashland on Independence Day. When time passed, Lamb sent a letter

She started her teaching career in a schoolhouse on Beauty Hill Road in Barnstead, and she recalls her first day with precision and humor. “The kids came to school on horse and buggy,” she said. She taught in a facility without running water, electricity or a telephone. “We did have toilet paper then —

that might have been the first year,” she joked.

“I wasn’t even born then,” said Ernie Bolduc, president of the Society.

“Shame upon you,” jabbed Barnes.

“I had a great life, I wouldn’t change it for the world. Working with children is so satisfying,” Barnes said. The Centennial Cane will be displayed at Laconia Public Library. “This is quite an honor,” Barnes said.

to the press, which was published in The Daily Sun on July 11 saying he had not received a response from Forrester.

On July 15 Lamb had his answer. Forrester proposed four “forums” in Meredith, Plymouth, Haverhill and Grafton and suggested dates and times.

Lamb replied the next day, telling Forrester that some of the dates she suggested conflicted with scheduled commitments and assuring her he would propose alternative dates by the end of this week.

Yesterday Forrester said that she would prefer four events while Lamb said he favors five. Forrester also said that she would like to invite the candidates for the House of Representatives in the towns hosting the events to participate in them. Without dismissing the idea out of hand, Lamb said that his exchanges with Forrester should be confined to the two, perhaps by allotting one period of time to Senate candidates and another to the House candidates.

Both candidates placed a premium on appearing together before the electorate and expressed confidence that they would reach agreement.

A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Forrester worked in the office of Governor John Sununu, served as a town administrator and executive director of Main Street programs in Plymouth and Meredith. She and her husband Keith own and operate an environmental technology company in Meredith. She was elected to the Senate in 2010 and was the lone freshman appointed to the Finance Committee.

After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point Lamb served as an infantry officer as well as an instructor at West Point for six years. On leaving the service, he began the first of two stints with Peat, Marwick Mitchell & Co. (now KPMG), joining the firm as a consultant. In 1986, he began the first two stints with Fleet Financial Group, becoming executive vice president and corporate controller before returning to KPMG Consulting, Inc. as chief financial officer in 2000. Two years later, Lamb took the same post at FleetBoston, then the seventh largest bank holding company in the county. Currently he is chairman of Allied International Holdings, Inc., a privately held insurance firm. This is his first bid for public office.

Senate District 2 consists of five towns in Belknap County — Center Harbor, Meredith, New Hampton, Sanbornton and Tilton — 19 towns in Grafton County and three towns in Merrimack County.

Jazz guitarist John Abercrombie returns tonight to Laconia for first time in decades

By AdAm drApcho

tunity to visit a place he hasn’t seen in nearly 50 years.

Abercrombie grew up in Connecticut and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. While a student there, he and a couple of his classmates got a summer job playing at a resort in Laconia, where they were given room and board in exchange for performing tunes at the ballroom. “We just played the things people wanted to dance to,” he said, recalling how he spent his downtime in an apartment above a downtown hardware store, trying to learn the licks from a Bill Evans record.

Then, playing before senior citizens who wanted

something to dance to, Abercrombie said he and his fellow Berklee musicians would try an sneak in some jazz now and then. This visit to Laconia, Abercrombie has earned the right to play his own compositions and a few choice standards. He considers his brand of music to be “modern jazz — influenced by be-bop and the cool style of jazz, also somewhat by classical music.” He added that his style of play is “lyrical” and shouldn’t be confused with free jazz or avant-garde music.

“I have no idea what to expect as far as an audience,” Abercrombie said about his trip to Laconia.

Lorentz hopes his jazz faithful will jump on the chance to see an artist of Abercrombie’s prominence in such an intimate, affordable venue. It’s precisely for musicians such as Abercrombie that Lorentz has developed NH Jazz Presents and the three-stop tour. “Especially from New York City, New Orleans, places that are beyond New England. Even Bostonians love coming up and playing the route,” he said.

Blackstone’s has an initial capacity of 150 with overflow seating available in a balcony. Since moving to Blackstone’s, he said attendance has “been up and down — I think to reflect the change in venue.” The lowest-attended show, held on the Fourth of July, saw an audience of 30, while other shows have sold as many as 80 tickets. He’s continuing to see new faces and thinks an act like the Abercrombie trio could set a new record for the venue.

“We’re looking forward to see things get crowded,” Lorentz said.

There were signs Wilkins’ life was unraveling.

He divorced from his wife of 16 years around 2005 and a credit union last year tried to garnish wages at his then-employer, Capstone Oilfield Services, to collect a more than $15,000 debt but couldn’t because he had declared bankruptcy. And the co-owner of the FedEx store where Wilkins turned himself in said Wilkins talked about being high on drugs during the

shootings.

Outside the Copper Top bar in downtown Tuscaloosa, pools of blood were visible Tuesday. A trail of bloody footprints could be seen on the sidewalk for about two blocks before crews cleaned the mess.

“There were sparks coming off the ground and then I felt a sting and I knew I’d been hit,” said Rachel Studdard, who was sitting on the bar’s patio with a group of friends, enjoying the 50-cent draft beer special when the shooting started.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — When Jonathan Lorentz moved his weekly jazz series from Pitman’s Freight Room to Blackstone’s at The Margate Resort, he hoped the change would give him a greater ability to attract top-shelf talent from New York and beyond. Partnering with the hospitality company allows Lorentz the opportunity to offer musicians a place to stay, and he has established similar weekly venues in Nashua and Brandon, Vt., allowing him to offer performers three nights of consecutive gigs.

If he needed vindication of his strategy, such came with the scheduling of a trio lead by John Abercrombie, a guitarist whose 40 year career includes 35 of his own records and hundreds more to which he has contributed. An artist who has enjoyed a long relationship with recording label ECM, Abercrombie has toured and recorded with modern jazz legends such as Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Marc Johnson, John Scofield, Gil Evans, David Liebman and many others.

That’s why Lorentz said, “I’m so proud to bring him to Laconia.”

Abercrombie, with drummer Bob Meyer and organist Jared Gold will play tonight at 8 p.m. The show will be preceded by a complimentary wine tasting presented by Hermit Woods Winery, beginning at 7:15. Tickets cost $12.

Abercrombie, reached at his home in Putnam County, New York, said he wouldn’t have likely agreed to play at Blackstone’s for a single night’s gig five hours from home. However, when Lorentz offered a three-night package, the opportunity became more attractive.

“I never play in that part of the country, there’s not much going on for folks that do what I do,” Abercrombie said. For musicians of his caliber, work usually means New York City, Boston or Chicago.

Or Europe, where major metropolitan markets are closer together.

For Abercrombie, though, the Blackstone’s gig is more than a chance to play before a new audience, it’s an oppor-

Tuesday night storm A fast-moving storm that blew through the southern part of the Lakes Region resulted in reported lightening strikes, and trees downed on power lines and isolated power outages including most of downtown Laconia and upper Union Avenue. In the photo above, the branch of a tree on Union Road in Belmont blew over and landed on a local man’s van. He said it appears the windshield and side mirror were broken and the outer branches knocked off one of his rain gutters on his house.

Youkilis homers at Fenway at White Sox beat Boston BOSTON (AP) — Kevin Youkilis drove a full-count pitch over Fenway Park’s famed left field wall, lowered his head and started to trot around the bases as fans loudly cheered “Yooouk!”

The scene was familiar everywhere in the ballpark except the scoreboard, where Youkilis’ three-run shot was tallied for the visiting Chicago White Sox in a 7-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.

“You never know here, but it’s been great,” Youkilis said of his reception. “Fans have treated me unbelievable and I can’t thank them enough for all the kind things they keep saying from the stands every day and every inning. Not too many opponents get to come in here and have that opportunity. Usually it’s a little more negative at the opposition.”

A little?

Youkilis isn’t just another former Red Sox. He was one of the most popular players on the club for years before the June 24 trade and two games into the Sox-Sox series in Boston, he’s still a fan favorite.

Youkilis had three hits the night before, but the

Red Sox won the series opener 5-1. His eighth home run of the season was his only hit Tuesday and brought him up to 4 for 8 in the series with two doubles, a home run, three RBIs and four runs scored.

“Yeah, he’s just showing off, just rising to the occasion for us and being in big spots,” manager Robin Ventura said. “I think there’s something when you get traded, there’s something to prove and that all goes into it with a lot of people that’s happened to.

Coming back here, not that he says anything, but it’s nice for him to get in those situations and come through.”

The White Sox won for the eighth time in 11 games and are 10 games above .500 (50-40) for the fourth time this season.

Philip Humber (4-4) made his first start in a month and settled down after allowing two runs in a shaky first inning, when the Red Sox tagged him for three hits and two runs to tie it after Chicago went up 2-0 in the top of the first.

PENN STATE from page 2 we’ve already started the process of starting to compose that response. We’ll do so over the course of the next few days and get that response back as soon as possible, and we’ll then engage in discussions with the NCAA.” In a PBS interview Monday night, NCAA President Mark Emmert said he’s “never seen anything as egregious as this in terms of just overall conduct and behavior inside a university.” He said he doesn’t want to take “anything off the table” if there’s a finding that Penn State violated NCAA rules.

The last time the NCAA shut down a football program was in the 1980s, when Southern Methodist University was forced to drop the sport because of extra benefits violations. After the NCAA suspended the SMU program for a year, the school decided not to play in 1988, either, as it tried to regroup.

Erickson would not say whether he thought Penn State deserved to have its football program yanked.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here,” Erickson told The Associated Press as he conducted a round of media interviews in his office on Tuesday. “Let’s wait for this process to unfold. President Emmert has said that the NCAA will take a deliberate and deliberative process in addressing this, so I don’t think we should jump to any conclusions at this point.”

Schools often propose sanctions to the governing body. Erickson pointed out that Penn State has already given $2.6 million in bowl revenues to its new center for child abuse research and treatment and to

the Pennsylvania Coalition against Rape, a group that operates rape crisis centers across the state.

“We’ve already started to impose sanctions in the sense that we took away $2.6 million of athletic department funds,” Erickson said. “Surely we’ll have to do more, but we’re already on that road.”

Erickson also addressed the controversy swirling around the statue of Paterno outside Beaver Stadium, saying that no decision has been made on whether to take it down. The bronze statue had been a rallying point for students in the months since Sandusky’s November arrest.

“I’m still in the process of talking with members of my leadership team,” Erickson said. “I’ll want to talk with members of the board and others. And we will make a decision, and we will make the right decision based on what we believe is the best course of action for the university.”

University spokesman David La Torre said a decision on the matter would be made in seven to 10 days.

Regardless of Penn State’s decision on the statue, it’s clear that Paterno’s name is losing its luster.

Paternoville, a tent city outside Beaver Stadium where students camp out for prime football tickets, was scrapped Monday in favor of Nittanyville.

Brown University, the late coach’s alma mater, said that not only had it removed Paterno’s name from its head football coaching position and a student award, but it’s also reviewing whether to remove him from the school’s athletic hall of fame, too.

Bike Week bottom line is best on City Hall’s books in 5 years LACONIA — The city closed its books on the 89th running of Motorcycle Week yesterday with net revenue of $44,662.37.

City Hall budgeted $160,000 in expenditures to manage and police the rally, actual expenses totaled $123,721.63, while actual revenues of $168,384 nearly matched the $169,000 projected.

In 2007, revenues and expenses for the rally were removed from the general fund budget and a special revenue account , by which the revenues from licensing and planning fees as well as the rental of municipal property are applied against the expenses of hosting the event.

This year expenses were the lowest since 2007 while revenues tracked the trend of between $165,000 and $169,000 since 2008. As a result the net return was the largest since $54,618 was posted in 2007 when revenues approached $227,000.

This year expenses for out-of-town police were

$20,000 under budget and for police overtime $10,000 under budget while the cost of equipment and vehicle rental came to about a third of the budgeted amounts and the cost of lodging, sweeping and toilets was little more than half what was projected.

Since 2007 revenues have always exceeded expenses. The balance in the account has been used to make capital investments and purchases associated with the rally.

Last year, the City Council approved the purchase of two emergency defibrillators and undertook improvements to the boardwalk, leaving the account with a balance of some $136,000, which grew to about $180,600 with the surplus accrued this year.

The 2012 city budget includes the purchase of one cruiser for the Police Department and a utility vehicle for the Fire Department for approximately $51,000, reducing the balance to $129,000.

Meredith looking to refinance debt over fewer years MEREDITH — The Board of Selectmen this week considered a plan to refinance $1.2-million in outstanding debt that would trim $350,000 in interest expense over the term of the original loan and, barring any unforeseen borrowing, would would leave the town without long-term debt by 2027. The scheduled a public hearing and final vote on the proposal for August 6.

In 2007, Town Meeting voted an appropriation of $2,238,000 for the so-called “bundled” project composed of water and sewer improvements. The United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development provided a grant representing about 46-percent of the cost of the project and the town borrowed the balance — $1,220,000 at 4.125-percent for 30 years.

The New Hampshire Municipal Bond Bank invited the town to join with another 50 municipalities to combine their USDA Rural Development

into one debt issue. The term of Meredith’s borrowing would be reduced from 30 years to 10 years while the interest rate would be lowered to between 2.599-percent and 2.908-percent. The cost of issuing the debt would be rolled into the refinancing package. Since the refinancing would take the form of a bond offering the town would forfeit its right to prepay the debt.

Town Manager Phil Warren explained that shortening the term would increase the annual principal and interest payments on the debt by between $23,000 and $23,900, from $71,639 and approximately $94,370 and $95,500, but the the total interest payments over the term of the bond would drop by $356,786.

“With a reduced term the town would be debt free in 14 years,” Warren said.

BOY SCOUTS from page 2 mitted at its recent national conference asking for reconsideration of the membership policy.

The Scouts’ chief executive, Bob Mazzuca, contended that most Scout families support the policy, which applies to both adult leaders and Scouts.

“The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers and at the appropriate time and in the right setting,” Mazzuca said. “We fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society.”

The president of the largest U.S. gay-rights group, Chad Griffin of the Human Rights Campaign, depicted the Scouts’ decision as “a missed opportunity of colossal proportions.”

“With the country moving toward inclusion, the leaders of the Boy Scouts of America have instead sent a message to young people that only some of them are valued,” he said. “They’ve chosen to teach division and intolerance.”

Darlene Nipper, deputy executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, said the Scouts “have turned their backs on a chance to dem-

onstrate fairness, exercise sound judgment, and serve as a role model for valuing others.”

The Scouts did not identify the members of the special committee that studied the issue, but said in a statement that they represented “a diversity of perspectives and opinions.”

“The review included forthright and candid conversation and extensive research and evaluations — both from within Scouting and from outside of the organization,” the statement said.

The announcement suggests that hurdles may be high for a couple of members of the national executive board — Ernst & Young CEO James Turley and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson — who have recently indicated they would try to work from within to change the membership policy. Both of their companies have been commended by gayrights groups for gay-friendly employment policies.

Stephenson is on track to become president of the Scouts’ national board in 2014, and will likely face continued pressure from gay-rights groups to try to end the exclusion policy.

Grant kicks off Forest Society’s effort to purchase land in Newfound Lake region

CONCORD — The Forest Society is currently raising money to conserve a 270-acre parcel owned by the Hazelton family on Braley Road in Hebron.

A $30,000 grant from the John Gemmill Newfound Fund gives the Forest Society a start to meeting its goal of $300,000.

The historic farm features important farmland, extensive frontage along the Cockermouth River and Wise Brook, and its forested hillsides on Tenney Mountain are visible from Newfound Lake. The conservation easement will protect the property’s water resources and wildlife habitat, while allowing the Hazelton family to practice forestry, agriculture and recreation on the property. The land will continue to be owned by the Hazelton family and the Forest Society will ensure the terms of the conservation easement are followed.

Helen Gemmill established the John Gemmill Newfound Fund on August 21, 2011 in honor of her father, the late John Gemmill. John served as director of Camp Pasquaney in Hebron, New Hampshire for 22 years. Helen grew up on the grounds of the Camp, attended, and was counselor at the sister Camp Onaway nearby.

Helen describes, “Throughout his upbringing and education, it was Newfound Lake that my father returned every summer, and developed a lifelong devotion to the place in general, and to environmental

issues and conservation in particular.” The $750,000 fund will incentivize additional land conservation work in the Newfound watershed, and amplify the reach and leverage of the great environmental work already being done there to ensure a clean lake and healthy hillsides for many generations to come.

“The grant awarded by the John Gemmill Newfound Fund sets us on a strong course as we look to raise

the remaining funds to purchase this important piece of land,” says Jack Savage, vice president of communications for the Society to Protect New Hampshire Forests. “This is a beautiful landscape that has great significance for the water quality of the Cockermouth River and Wise Brook, both of which feed into Newfound Lake. The Hazelton family will also continue to use the land for agriculture and forestry.”

The property is also a registered Tree Farm, has approximately 35-acres of agricultural fields, is a conservation priority for the Hebron Conservation Commission, and falls within the focus areas expressed in the Newfound Lake Region Association’s Watershed Master Plan, the Lakes Regional Conservation Plan, the Quabbin-to-Cardigan Conservation Initiative, and the NH Fish and Game Wildlife Action Plan.

“This truly is a key parcel of land and we are thankful to the Hazelton family for wanting to protect this land for future generations,” adds Savage.

There will be a presentation about the project at the Hebron Conservation Commission’s regular meeting on July 25, at 7 p.m. in the Hebron Land Use Office on the Hebron Green.

To help the Forest Society raise the remaining funds needed, visit www.forestsociety.org or contact Susanne Kibler-Hacker, Director of Development, at 603-224-9945.

LACONIA — The Salvation Army is conducting a Christmas in July awareness effort to help the support the needs of the community. This week is currently under way and will continue through Monday, July 23. During the week, the familiar red kettle stands that appear during Christmas will be placed in various places around Laconia as a reminder that need knows no season. From 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 21 a beach party will be held at Opechee Cove to celebrate and promote the week. Refreshments will be provided.

The awareness week is being held due to an increased need for assistance the Salvation Army has been experiencing. In recent months there has been a 144 percent increase in financial assistance, which provides for rental, electric, or prescription help, a 66.7 percent increase in food basket distribution, and a 15.2 percent increase of bed nights provided at The Salvation Army Carey House. Despite these growing numbers, people often think that during the summer season the needs of the community are no longer a problem. In truth, need does not come with a season, and The Salvation Army cannot support this growing need in the community all on its own.

The Salvation Army hopes that visitors, residents and local businesses respond to the need in the Lakes Region. For more information on the services The Salvation Army provides, to host a kettle site, invite a Salvation Army representative to speak with your business about the need in the Lakes Region, or ask about more information on The Salvation Army’s partnership with the United Way’s strategic poverty reduction plan contact Captain Stephen Warren at 603.524.1834 ext. 12 or at stephen.warren@use.salvationarmy.org.

Army at Fort Lewis, Washington and took training at Camp Roberts in California. He served overseas in Manila as a jeep dispatcher in the motorpool. While overseas, a jeep was donated to a war bond drive from students at the Gilford Grade School. Roy wrote to the school and received a letter from a student wanting to know more about the Philippines. He sent a packet to him and got a letter from Pat Baker, an employee in the dietary services at the school, who wanted a penpal and wrote while Roy was overseas. Roy was honorably discharged in April, 1946 and returned to Washington. He decided to move to New Hampshire and arrived on August 23, 1946. On September 12, 1948, he married, Patricia N. (Baker) Williams.

Roy went to work for Willey’s Express and had several others jobs before becoming a R.F.D. Mail Carrier. He retired in 1989 after thirty-six years with the U.S. Postal Service.

Roy was a member of the Taylor Community Chorus, a member of the American Legion WilkinsSmith Post #1 and an assistant scout master for

Troop #49. He was an avid camper and from 1965-1999 he traveled throughout New England, Florida and cross country.

While his children were growing up, he spent many hours at Gilford Beach.

Survivors include three daughters, Susan Williams of Belmont, Kathryn Eltzroth and her husband, Jack, of Gilford and Linda Parker and her husband, Greg, of Gilmanton; a son, Gary M. Williams, and his wife, Martha, of Jacksonville, Florida; six grandchildren; five great grandchildren; a sister, Ada Bell, of Vancouver, Washington and several nephews and nieces.

In addition to his parents, Roy was predeceased by his wife of fifty-one years, Patricia N. (Baker) Williams, his second wife, Evelyn Williams, a brother, Ray Williams, and a sister, Rosa Williams.

Muppets movie Friday at Prescott Park in Meredith

MEREDITH — The Meredith Parks & Recreation Department is offering Movies in the Park again this summer, thanks to donations from a private family which has enjoyed the Movies in the Park over the years.

On Friday, July 20 the newly released Muppets movie will be shown at Prescott Park starting at dusk (8:30 – 9 p.m).

Those attending should feel free to bring chairs, blankets, snacks, drinks, family and friends.

The second movie showing will be held Friday, August 10 at Prescott Park and the movie which will be shown will be announced the week before.

munity activities.

Raffle tickets are being sold for $50 donation and ticket sales are limited to 600.

The association hopes to raise about $10,000 according to Patrol Officer Wes DeSousa, who says that 400 out of the 600 tickets have already been sold.

The association helps support the DARE program and gives scholarships to Gilford High School graduates but a great deal of the work of the association is done behind the scenes.

DeSousa said the department uses the money raised to buy Christmas presents for less fortunate children in town, gives money to families who have suffered temporary setbacks due to fires or other accidents and sends a lot of Gilford children to camps they would not likely be able to afford.

The relief association also provides meals and temporary housing for indigents who find themselves in Gilford and the organization sponsors fishing derbies and other outdoor activities often co-sponsored with the Gilford Fire Department.

Tickets can be purchased at the Gilford Police Department located in Town Hall, at the Ellacoya Country Store, Kitchen Cravings, American Cottage, Gator Signs and the Wineing Butcher.

Half of the proceeds from the meals served to those who tell their server at Patrick’s Pub that they are there to support the police fund drive will be donated to Gilford Police Relief Association.

ALTON — Surrounded by his loving family, George F. Lamper, Jr., age 65, of Alton, went to be with his Savior on July 16, 2012.

George was born the son of George F. Lamper, Sr. and Virginia E. (Swett) Lamper on March 4, 1947. He resided in Alton for most of his life. He was selfemployed as a stone-mason and landscaper for many years. More recently, he was employed with Wal-Mart for 16 years.

George gave his heart to the Lord on August 28, 1981, and he continued to love the Lord as a faithful member of the First Free Will Baptist Church in New Durham. In his 30 years of service at the church, he drove the Sunday School bus, sang in the choir, prayed and supported missionaries, and warmly greeted every person who came through the door (with a hug and a kiss for all who were willing).

George was known as “the friendly giant”- all who knew him couldn’t help but love him. His hobbies included gardening, fishing, camping, and motorcy-

cle riding. As a play-by-ear guitarist and a booming bass singer, he brought joy to people at church, home, and around the campfire.

George will be greatly missed by his devoted wife of 31 years, Margery Lee (Thomas) Lamper, and their children Charlene Virginia Lamper and George Thomas Lamper “Tommy”. Other family members include a sister Ginny Caverly, two brothers, Harland Lamper and Fred Lamper, and several cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, and half the town of Alton.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There’s a special occasion coming up, and you might seriously consider doing something personal and artful to commemorate the moment. What you make with your hands you also make with your heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A famous song states that love makes the world go round. Scientists suggest it’s actually angular momentum that does the job, though few would disagree that love makes the ride more fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Being kind requires very little effort, though people can be so wrapped up in themselves that it helps to have a good example to remind them how to contribute to the world in a positive way.

You’ll provide this today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is not true that there is purpose and beauty in each thought you have. Some thoughts are rotten and ugly and probably popped into your head by mistake.

Ignore them or shun them, and they’ll quickly go away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your hands will be busy doing the work they were always meant to do: helping yourself and then helping others. You will touch someone’s life with your gift of timely assistance.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18).

This year is marked by your desire to do what’s new and different. The next 10 weeks bring adventure. You’ll trade in some aspect of your job for a better deal in August. September brings social fun. November is your chance at a professional goal. Sweet sentiments and gifts come from out of the blue in May. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 24, 38 and 18.

by Chad Carpenter

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Growth, by definition, is change. Staying the same simply isn’t an option for you, though you may feel slightly anxious about what shape your new life will take. Trust.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will fall in love many times, always with the same activity. This is how you know it’s a fine match for you and something you were surely meant to be doing with your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You touch people’s lives in ways you don’t really understand. Your spirit, the way you talk, the excitement you show when certain things are happening, it’s all registering in the mind of someone special.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When people think of you, the word “encouragement” comes to mind. To nurture others comes naturally to you. You’ll give a kindly prop to your friends and boost them in the direction they seem to want to go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Life is an endless opportunity. So trust your decisions. They’re either wrong or right, but committing to them will feel better than going in halfheartedly. And there always will be another opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s easy to see where you’re blocked, but what can you do? Doing one thing you (SET ITAL) can (END ITAL) do will be better than noting a hundred things that you can’t. Keep your focus right in front of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t always get the chance to embody the qualities of honesty, bravery and loyalty in a big way that everyone can see. But you will wear them in dozens of small ways today.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married to an amazing woman for two years. I work away from home, and she manages to take care of everything and work full time. She also is a caregiver for her mother, and for this reason, we have decided to put off having children.

I have a 4-year-old son with my ex. I pay regular child support, but until recently, I haven’t been able to see much of him because of my schedule. Also, my ex is uncooperative.

I recently found out some disturbing things about my son’s home environment, and my family has suggested I ask for full custody. The problem is that there always has been speculation about whether the boy is really my biological child. My wife says she prefers to know he’s mine before she undertakes such a huge responsibility. She will be raising the boy by herself while I am working out of state for months at a time.

But, Annie, I’m not sure I really want to know whether this is my child. I love him regardless, and if tests prove he isn’t my son, I will never see him again. Is it fair of me to ask my wife to raise the boy anyway? -- Still His Dad Dear Still: This is your son, legally if not biologically. While it is asking a lot of your wife to take on this responsibility, we hope she will do so not only for your sake, but for the boy’s.

He needs a stable mother. Please look into getting some child care assistance for her so she isn’t overwhelmed and resentful. But you should also get a paternity test. If this child is not yours, he should have his full medical history.

Dear Annie: My husband’s 35-year-old daughter, “Effie,” has a college degree, but has never held a job. My husband sends Effie most of his Social Security check each month and also pays her credit card bills, which means he is now in debt to the tune of $10,000.

When Effie visits, she makes a mess of the house and is

disrespectful to me. She somehow manages to take several vacations a year. Now she wants my husband to foot the bill for an expensive wedding, and he’s agreed. He also agreed to continue supporting her after she marries. Because the wedding is in our state, Effie wants to stay in our house for several weeks before the wedding. I don’t think I can take it.

My husband is entirely in her corner and believes his relationship with her is perfectly normal. He’s been unwell, and I hate making things worse for him, but I can’t hold in this anger and disappointment much longer. I keep asking myself whether I’d be better off without him, but I don’t know the answer. -- Torn in Tallahassee Dear Torn: Many parents find it difficult to cut the financial apron strings, and divorced parents often are particularly indulgent in an attempt to compensate. This hurts the kids in the long run, creating dependence and prolonged adolescence. Nonetheless, if your husband refuses to change his tactics with Effie, there is nothing you can do about her. Counseling is often helpful, but you also might consider taking your own vacation while Effie is in your house.

Dear Annie: I was surprised that “Single” wrote in saying he has trouble meeting women who don’t have a lot of baggage.

I am a single parent with two amazing children, and I have the same problem. Men on Internet dating sites all seem to be infatuated with the physical side of the relationship, which is secondary to me. I want a decent guy who is willing to be my friend first.

In five years, my children will be out of the house, and I would love to have an established relationship going into the empty nest syndrome. -- Patient in Arizona

The Mount Washington Carriage Road program in Center Harbor July 26

CENTER HARBOR — The Centre Harbor Historical Society will present a program on The Mount Washington Carriage Road on Thursday July 26 at 7 p.m. by Howiie Wemyss, General Manager of road to the top of New England’s highest peak.

The Mount Washington Carriage Road, as it was originally know, has a long and fascinating history.

When it opened in the early 1860’s, the eight-mile road to New England’s highest summit was deemed the first man-made attraction in the U.S. From the start, the road was a huge success with local residents and foreign and domestic tourists, who flocked to experience the world above tree line.

Today, the renamed Auto Road hosts many special events during the summer, including several unique races and a birthday celebration. In his presentation, Wemyss will trace the history of the famous road and the popular Glen House hotels, illustrated with vintage images from the 1850’s to the present.

Refreshments follow the program, held at the Schoolhouse Museum at 94 Dane Road. The program is free and open to the public. Call 279-1236 with any questions.
