Tomlinson quit school board as protest

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The School Board yesterday released a partially redacted copy of former board member Derek Tomlinson’s June 15 letter to Chair Kurt Webber announcing his intent to resign. The contents suggest Tomlinson

was so upset with a decision the board made in June he chose to quit in protest.

According to the letter, Tomlinson made his intent to resign known to his colleagues following a non-public session on June 14. His resignation was not made official until Monday night.

“I do not intend to announce

this formally, but just fade out,” he wrote via e-mail to Webber.

Webber has refused to release the full text of Tomlinson’s letter saying it refers to personnel matters.

The redacted version offers little insight into the matter except that Tomlinson said that “he look(s) to how (former High

School Principal) Ken Wiswell, (who retired at the end of the past school year), handled the nay sayers in the HS as an example (of) how to handle the situation more intelligently and sensitively.”

Husband thanks police for response to wife’s call about burglar

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The husband of the victim of a recent burglary on Emerald Street thanked the Laconia Police Commissioners yesterday for the professional and courteous way responding officers handled the break-in at his house.

The man, whose will not be identified, told commissioners that he was most grateful his wife wasn’t hurt but that the emotional trauma of waking and finding someone in her bedroom during a time he was out of town had not left either of them.

“I just want the commission to understand that all of the officers have done an

outstanding job,” he said.

The victim, who successfully scared away the intruder by screaming and turning on a light, locked herself into her bedroom after calling police.

The man said the dispatcher stayed with her on the phone until responding officers see POLiCE page 8

Eurozone comes up with another $155B bailout for Greece

BRUSSELS (AP) — Eurozone leaders on Thursday agreed to a sweeping deal that will grant Greece a massive new bailout — but likely make it the first euro country to default — and radically reshape the currency union’s rescue fund, allowing it to act pre-emptively when crises build up.

The deal resolves a political deadlock between Europe’s top economic authorities over how to save Greece that had investors worried the debt crisis would spin out of control. Faced with the danger of big economies like Italy becoming unstable, the officials sought to outdo expectations at an emergency meeting in Brussels.

The eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund will give Greece a second bailout worth €109 billion ($155 billion), on top of the €110 billion granted a year ago.

Banks and other private investors will contribute some €50 bilsee GREECE page 13

31 of 32 NFL owners back new deal with players COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — NFL owners voted overwhelmingly in favor of a tentative 10-year agreement to end the lockout, pending player approval.

Thursday’s vote was 31-0, with the Oakland Raiders abstaining from the ratification, which came after a full day of meetings at an Atlanta-area hotel. While owners pored over the terms, Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke on the phone several times with NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, including filling him in on the results of the vote before it was announced.

“Hopefully, we can all work quickly, expeditiously, to get this agreement done,”

Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “It is time to get back to football. That’s what everybody here wants to do.”

Players still had to sign off on the deal — and they must re-establish their union, the NFL said. Players didn’t vote on a full pact Wednesday because there were unresolved issues. They planned to have a conference call later Thursday.

However, Smith wrote in an email to the 32 player representatives shortly after the owners’ decision: “Issues that need to be collectively bargained remain open; other issues, such as workers’ compensation, economic issues and end of deal terms, remain unresolved.

There is no agreement between the NFL and the Players at this time. I look forward to our call tonight.”

The four-month lockout is the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987.

The first game on the preseason schedule — the Aug. 7 Hall of Fame game between Chicago and St. Louis — was canceled Thursday.

“The time was just too tight,” Goodell said. “Unfortunately, we’re not going to be able to play the game this year.”

Team facilities will open Saturday, and the new league year will begin Wednesday, he said — assuming the players approve see NFL page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — In secretive endgame negotiations, President Barack Obama and House Republican leaders reached anew on Thursday for an elusive “grand bargain” deal to cut deficits by $4 trillion or more and prevent a threatened Aug. 2 government default, officials said.

House Speaker John Boehner declared that his rank and file generally stood ready to compromise in order to reach an agree-

ment as a way of “getting our economy going again and growing jobs.” Obama, in a newspaper opinion piece, said the talks provided an “opportunity to do something big and meaningful.”

Still, 12 days before the default deadline, officials stressed that no compromise appeared imminent. And new hope of one ran instantly into old resistance: from Republicans opposed to higher taxes and

Democrats loath to cut Medicare and other benefit programs.

In a measure of concern among Democrats, party leaders spent nearly two hours meeting with Obama at the White House late Thursday.

While talks on a major, long-term agreement continued, a fresh, shorterterm backup plan appeared to be gaining see BARGAIN page 11

Younger Murdoch’s denial of knowledge of ‘rot’ at British tabloid challenged by former colleagues LONDON (AP) — James Murdoch’s former legal adviser and a former editor contested the testimony he gave to British lawmakers, saying Thursday he was told years ago about an email that suggested the rot at his Sunday tabloid was far more widespread than previously claimed.

Their statement could deal a blow to the credibility of Rupert Murdoch’s son as the family struggles to limit the damage from a phone-hacking scandal that has already cost the media empire one of its British tabloids, two top executives and a billiondollar bid for control of a satellite broadcaster.

Meanwhile Scotland Yard, which is still reeling from allegations that it turned a blind eye to the scandal, was asked to investigate another explosive claim: That journalists bribed officers to locate people by tracking their cell phone signals.

The practice is known as “pinging” because of the way cell phone signals bounce off relay towers as they try to find reception. Jenny Jones, a member of the board that oversees the Metropolitan Police Authority, called for the inquiry into the alleged payoffs by journalists at Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World.

James Murdoch, in a grilling by lawmakers on Tuesday, batted away claims that he knew the full extent of the illegal espionage at the News of the World when he approved a massive payout in 2008 to soccer players’ association chief Gordon Taylor, one of the phone hacking victims.

Murdoch’s News International had long maintained that the eavesdropping was limited to a single rogue reporter, Clive Goodman, and the prisee MURDOCH page 9

Census confirms pockets of diversity in N.H. CONCORD (AP) — Opponents of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary have long argued that such a white state shouldn’t play such a big role in picking presidents. But new census data released Thursday confirms that parts of the state have grown increasingly diverse.

Though the New Hampshire population overall remains overwhelmingly white — it was 96 percent white in 2000 and 94 percent white in 2010 — minorities now make up 10 percent of the population of Hillsborough County in southern New Hampshire.

That’s up from 6 percent in 2000.

“There are tracts in Nashua and Manchester where the minority population of children, particularly, is over 40 percent,” said Kenneth Johnson, senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institute. “That’s not that different than what you’d see in big, urban cores.”

Every four years when states set their primary and caucus calendars, New Hampshire’s critics argue that the state holds too much power given its small size and lack of diversity. But Johnson said the census figures counter that to some degree.

“When the primary comes and everyone says,

‘New Hampshire is not representative of the rest of the country,’ well, I don’t know. When you look at New Hampshire and some of its detail, it actually is not unlike the rest of the United States,” he said.

“If you look only at the state level numbers, it’s not (diverse). But if you look at Hillsborough County, you’re seeing a fairly diverse population.”

Just over 2 percent of the county’s 400,721 residents identified themselves as black or African American in 2010. The Asian population grew to 3.2 percent, and the Hispanic or Latino population grew to 5.3 percent.

The state’s overall population grew 6.5 percent to 1.3 million people between 2000 and 2010, making it the region’s fastest growing state over the last decade. It also became one of the oldest, with the median age jumping from 37 to 41. While the number of non-Hispanic white children declined by almost 13 percent, the number of Hispanic children increased by 76 percent.

That trend is in keeping with national census estimates that show a growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and fast-growing see DIVERSITY page 12

Armed man barricades himself at Vermont VA hospital WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. (AP) — An armed Hartford veteran barricaded himself in a room at the VA Medical Center on Thursday in a five-hour standoff that ended when he was taken into custody by a Vermont State Police SWAT team, police said.

The man, who was not identified, sustained minor injuries from police after he walked out of a room carrying a knife and pepper-spray, Vermont State Police Capt. Ray Keefe said.

The state police SWAT team used nonlethal force and took him into custody as he retreated into a room, said Keefe, who would not provide details about what force was used.

The man had previously held a small BB gun that looked like a larger caliber handgun, Keefe said. The BB gun was found in the room where he was taken into custody.

The standoff started after hospital staff discovered the man was armed and asked him to leave but he rushed into a room in the hospital’s in-patient ward around 12 p.m, the Valley News reported.

State police negotiators tried to negotiate with him but he threatened to harm anyone who entered the room, Keefe said.

Several patients were evacuated during the standoff, Keefe said.

Want a job? Go to jail!

Here’s the core economic problem we’re facing today: Unemployment and underemployment are rampant and entrenched throughout America, stifling any hope for real recovery and threatening the very survival of the essential middle class that holds our society together.

The solution? Our ideologically pure, laissez-fairyland leaders in Washington and various state capitals, along with corporate funded think tank geniuses and Wall Street gurus, are pushing a massive jobs program across America. Great, just what we need! Uh ... no. Unfortunately, theirs is not a program to create jobs, but a coordinated effort to add to America’s jobless hordes by eliminating hundreds of thousands of public-service jobs. If ignorance is bliss, they must be ecstatic!

They’re wallowing in the ecstatic right-wing mythology that prosperity will magically arise if only government budgets can be gutted, mainly by eliminating public employees. Yet, by going on a firing rampage that is targeting everyone from school librarians to NASA engineers, these political and economic elites are shoving the entire U.S. economy back into the Great Recession, or worse.

This is because people who are out of work do not tend to be — how shall I put this? — “robust consumers.” Since consumer spending accounts for about 70-percent of our country’s economic growth (and, in so doing, creates America’s jobs), the dogma of deliberately destroying the purchasing power of middleclass wage earners is disastrous. It’s like trying to cure a headache by chopping off your head.

Not content to undercut middleclass consumers by firing them, the extremist ideologues are also slashing jobless payments, food stamps, Medicaid and other safety-net programs that put money directly and quickly into the consumer economy as recipients spend for food, gas and other basics. Cutbacks in these benefits will drain some $37-billion more out of consumer spending this year.

As the middle class slides backward, people are going to be hunting these ideologues with dogs. But don’t despair entirely, jobseekers, for if you’re among the millions of long-term unemployed Americans who’ve been searching in vain

for work, I have a hot tip for you: They’re hiring in Wisconsin!

There is one little catch, though.

You have to be a Wisconsin jailbird to get one of these dandy jobs. But that’s no hill for a climber — I’m sure America has plenty of out-of-work folks who’re enterprising enough to move to the Badger State, steal a six pack from a 7-Eleven, go to jail and — voila! — become eligible. I should mention, however, that you won’t get paid for these jobs.

This so-called “work opportunity” is the first tangible product of Gov. Scott Walker’s corporate-scripted mugging of the collective bargaining rights of teachers and other civil servants. He and his legislative cohorts rammed a bill into law this year to strip public employees of their democratic rights in the workplace. So, government managers can now replace them willy-nilly with low-wage workers — even with free prison labor.

Jim Ladwig, the executive honcho of Racine County, has leapt on this like a chicken on a juicy June bug. The day the law took effect, he announced that such jobs as landscaping and snow-shoveling would be transferred from unionized county workers to prisoners.

The captives will receive no pay, but they could receive compensation in the form of reduced sentences. “We have a win-win when we use the inmates,” exulted Ladwig.

He’s not the only one thrilled with this scheme to take middle-class paychecks from public employees.

The Washington Examiner, a farright tub-thumper for full-tilt privatization of public services, hailed Racine County’s jailbird ploy as “great news for Wisconsin taxpayers. Hopefully we’ll see more of it.”

So there you have it — the rightwing’s idea of a good jobs program for America. When Walker ran for governor last year, he promised to create 250,000 new jobs, and now he’s delivering. To apply, go directly to jail!

Residents don’t want oak trees cut and stonewalls removed To the editor, I would like to thank The Laconia Sun for the article in Saturday’s paper concerning the destruction of the rural character of Sheridan Road.

None of the other local papers felt the story was newsworthy.

Had the town informed the residents of the road of the road agent’s

plan before spending in excess of $25,000 for “studies” they would have realized that the residents do not want oak trees cut and stonewalls removed just to widen the road.

We need to preserve our heritage — not destroy it.

LETTERS The 50s certainly weren’t a great time to be female, black or gay To the editor, Recently I have been somewhat amazed by some of the letters extolling the superiority of the 1950s. In particular, letters from representative Harry Accornero, Ed Chase, and Derek Morrisette. Derek is 28 and wanted to hear from people who lived in these decades. He also spoke of the 1960s and the 1970s but I will limit myself to mostly what the 1950s were like socially and culturally.

I am 61 years of age and a history buff so I can shed some light on these misconceptions. The 1950s and on into the 1960s were not friendly to liberty. They were atrocious as our nation continued its traditions over constitutionality. The equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment was completely ignored. Racism was a national institution in segregation, laws against mixed race marriages, and racial myths. There were restaurants for whites only and lynching remained a form of community justice in some places. Interracial marriages remained illegal in most states until the Loving V. Virginia case before the Supreme Court. Although The Supreme Court ruled in Brown v.

Board of Education that state laws separating blacks and whites in different schools were unconstitutional was a bright light in the 1950s, it was largely ignored until the late 1960s.

Discrimination against Jews was also a problem in the 1950s.

Women’s rights were at quite a low.

Women were to be baby makers, home bodies, and submissive to their husbands. Working outside of the home was frowned upon and women who did found discrimination and harassment rampant. Contraception was illegal and remained so until the Griswald V. Connecticut case before the Supreme Court in 1965. It is important to realize that low abortion and teen pregnancy rates are reflections of the availability of women’s health clinics, sex-ed, reproductive planning and contraception availability.

Free Speech was at an all time low since the post war days of World War One, the Sedition Act of 1918, and the bizarre behavior of the Department of Justice under Attorney General Palmer. Like those days after the war to end all wars, red scares were rampant. In the case of the 1950s the

scares were orchestrated at the top by Senator Joseph McCarthy. This was a time when the ultraconservatives of the nation demanded rigid ideological conformity from all in order to create widespread uniformity. Diversity and dissent were aspects of treason to the right wingers. The political center and left faced discrimination and were blacklisted. This was a time when the Congress threw out Article Six and Amendment One of the Constitution by mandating the insertion of “under God” in the pledge of allegiance and putting “In God We Trust” on our coins. These laws were all based in red scares and right wing extremism. People wrapped in the flag who adorn their speech with religion have always been the most dangerous to liberty. Whether its the motherland, the fatherland or the good ole USA, ultranationalism is dangerous to liberty and justice for all.

In the 1950s if you were gay, your life was in danger. Now, as we approach constitutional sanity, the equal protection clause and the rights of privacy are triumphing.

Derek spoke of lazy kids as if they were new to society. They aren’t. Men generally don’t get out of their teens until their thirties. He complained that one could not understand the words of today’s music. I heard the same complaint about our music beginning in the late 1960s. Derek complained about human sexuality a great deal. He should know that the highest recorded teen pregnancy rate was in 1957, after which it descended until the Reagan years, spiking again for a few years, then continued its descent. Another fallacy is about his notions of wedlock. In Europe, people are less likely to marry, BUT — children are more likely to be raised by both parents than in the United States. Derek also is mistaken about abortion. Abortion rates are at a 35 year low. Let’s be clear why these rates are falling: sex-ed, contraception, and women’s health clinics. So when the rates begin to climb again, you can blame the right wing extremists of the tea party after they decimate Planned Parenthood and attack women’s rights.

It’s dangerous to liberty and progress; plain and simple.

There is a myth perpetuated by the right wing that conservatives see next page

Frankly Speaking / Rep. Frank Guinta

Coupling cuts & caps on spending with a Balanced Budget Amendment Congress came within a whisker of making history back in the spring of 1995. The House of Representatives passed an amendment to the Constitution that would have required a balanced federal budget, only to fail in the Senate – by just one vote. It was a painful loss to everyone who cares about fiscal responsibility.

If a Balanced Budget Amendment had become law then, we wouldn’t be straddled with a $14.3-trillion dollar national debt today. And that debt keeps growing bigger every month, too. Without a mechanism in place to slam on the brakes, Washington keeps on spending like a runaway freight train. It has reached the point now where unless decisive action is taken at this moment, America’s fiscal future is in jeopardy.

Sixteen years later, we have another chance to get it right. As a part of the ongoing debt ceiling discussions, the House has recently taken up action on a bill called Cut, Cap, and Balance. I’m a proud cosponsor of it.

Each month, Granite State families sit down and plan their budget.

They calculate how much money they expect to come in, they add up everything they need to spend money on, and they balance the two. Businesses, towns and schools do the same thing. Living on a balanced budget is trademark of personal and professional responsibility. New Hampshire, like 48 other state governments, has a balanced budget requirement. So why should it be any different for the federal government?

It shouldn’t. Washington needs to live by the same basic principles that guide your family’s finances: live within your means, and don’t spend more than you bring in.

Legislation that caps and cuts spending coupled with a Balanced Budget Amendment is necessary because of the staggering federal debt. Currently, 43 cents of every dollar Washington spends is borrowed, so the red ink keeps flowing.

Washington is like a glutton at an from preceding page embrace family values more than others. In the matters of divorce, the Christian evangelical group BARNA out of California found that the highest divorce rates are found in the most conservative churches and the lowest rates among atheists, agnostics and Catholics. As far as state rates go, the liberal states of Connecticut and Massachusetts have the lowest divorce

all you can eat buffet: it can’t make itself stop spending, even when it doesn’t have the money. We all know what cutting and capping spending would do, but what about a Balanced Budget Amendment? — A Balanced Budget Amendment would close the buffet and force your government to eat a single, healthy serving.

Amending our Constitution is serious business. It has only been done 27 times in 223 years. Yet in the 66 years since World War II, the debt ceiling has been raised 69 times. Clearly, a Balanced Budget Amendment has to be part of the remedy.

Here’s how it would work. The Amendment says total cash outlays for any fiscal year can’t exceed total receipts for the previous fiscal year. Translation: the government can’t spend more in one fiscal year than it brought in during the previous fiscal year. Congress could only increase spending by a supermajority vote of three-fifths of the members in the House and Senate.

On top of that, total spending couldn’t exceed an average of about 20-percent of the country’s economic output.

In short, the coupling of cuts and caps on spending with a Balanced Budget Amendment will restore responsibility to our nation’s finances.

And we need it even more today than we did in 1995. A Balanced Budget Amendment would force Congress to finally live within its means and spend responsibly, and would create the fiscal predictability and stability necessary for the creation of new middle class jobs.

Given what we are seeing Washington do with the debt and deficit recently, we can’t wait any longer.

Remember, even if Cut, Cap, and Balance passes both the House and the Senate, a Balanced Budget Amendment would still need to be ratified by the states.

So there’s not a minute to lose.

Let’s seize this opportunity while we have it.

If people would quit feeding the ducks,using the lake as a toilet,and polluting the water in any other way, the lake would be more suitable for swimming.When people feed the ducks, it attracts even more of them to the beach area, and their droppings go in the water if they’re near the beach. When people use the lake as a toilet it raises the bacteria count and when you get the high

humidity and heat that bacteria from both the ducks and people using it as a restroom, it multiplies. If people would have a lot more respect for the beach and the lake,we’d be in a lot better shape. I used to live on the lake and everybody’s trash from their boats and whatnot would float to shore and I’d always be picking that up.

I’m not saying the closure of the beaches is entirely due to the people polluting it but the pollution doesn’t help it any, that’s for sure.

I’m not complaining, I’m just saying see next page

Debt and bankruptcy is the Democrat’s playbook for prosperity To the editor, If you have had any doubt that the majority of N.H. residents do not want Obama care and want it repealed any apprehension evaporated with the figures released from latest poll conducted this month by UNH and WMUR television.

Results of their July 2011 poll as follows: 33-percent of N.H. residents favor Obamacare.

53-percent of N.H. residents oppose Obamacare.

14-percent of N.H. residents had no opinion.

Obama care is expected to add 30,000 to 50,000 new people to Medicaid rolls, costing N.H. residents billions of additional dollars.

As many as 65,000 are going to get subsidized insurance, costing N.H. residents tens of millions more.

Tens of thousands of companies have stated they will drop their employer-sponsored health insurance plans forcing employees on to subsidized government plans. They will pay the associated fines and the employees will get insurance at taxpayers expense.

For 15 moths Governor John Lynch has been asked for his opinion about Obamacare. HE REFUSES TO GIVE ONE. Two recently enacted laws related directly to implementing Obamacare passed without his signature on either one. The reason he does not tell the TRUTH is for a Democratic governor to say the president of the U.S. has put forth a health plan that is genuine catastrophe for all Americans and most certainly every senior on Medicare is political suicide. Thus we have a governor who has been rendered useless regarding health care issues that are in the best interests of all N.H. residents. It will not be long before Medicare recipients will have severe trouble finding doctors who will accept them. This is ALREADY the case in Mass., where Obamacare, look alike health legislation is already in force. Tens of thousand of Mass. Medicare patients ALREADY can not find primary physicians who will accept them. Obamacare floats seniors out to sea on a block of ice hoping they will never return. Seniors are EXPENSIVE and there will be twice as many of us in a decade or so more than doubling the already horrendous health care costs government will be forced to pay for.

Did you all notice notice that Democrats ALL went underground after last Novembers election shellacking. No more yelling and screaming about how wonderful Barack Obama is and how great Obamacare will be.

No wonder, it is darn hard to defend a president whose entire agenda headlined by Obamacare has been a total abysmal failure. Maybe this letter will get them out in the open.

There is nothing that would make me any happier than to get socialist, money-redistributing Obama lovers riding donkeys out of hiding to defend the unmitigated failure of Obama’s agenda highlighted with 9.2-percent unemployment and Obama care stapled with 100-percent CERTAINTY

EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA. In 1965 Medicare was approved.

It had a cost estimate attached. The ACTUAL compounded costs to this moment to pay for Medicare are precisely TEN , I repeat TEN times the projected cost. Obama care has a cost estimate of over one trillion dollars. If it has an error rate the same as Medicare and why wouldn’t it, Obama care will cost more than TEN TRILLION dollars and consume and enormous percentage of every spending dollar available. Fact is it will bankrupt the entire country.

GET REAL AMERICA ! You have been hood winked, bamboozled and just plain been lied to by every Democrat who has ever held office. Medicare is just another example of a bankrupt WELFARE PROGRAM. Yes, you have a few bucks withheld from your check and your employer is made weaker by being forced to throw in more money as well, guess what ? It is not near enough to pay for what the program actually costs and that difference is escalating a light speed related to advanced medical technology and the fact that such technology keeps you alive much longer needing ever more expensive care.

Obama care pushes health care ever closer to the democratic utopia of socialized medicine run by 15 politically appointed genius’s who will dole out life and death policy from Washington DC, based on current budget conditions tied to which party is running government at any moment. This fact SHOULD SCARE THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF YOU. Name ONE program government has ever run efficiently and effectively. YOU CAN’T! The post office is bankrupt, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are both bankrupt, Medicare is GOING BROKE with trillions in unpaid future liabilities and Social Security is headed for insolvency with out major slashes to benefits or eligibility age ( Said another way, the PONZI part of Social Security is EXPOSED again). If you had a private retirement plan you would be getting THREE TIMES the amount Democrats and S.S. are giving you. If anyone wants to challenge me on that go for it. Social Security is one of the biggest rip off programs in America if not the biggest one.

HOW MUCH GOVERNMENT FAILURE DO YOU NEED TO GET DEMOCRATS THE HECK OUT OF OFFICE? Come on out of hiding donkey lovers and lets talk about Obama, the lousy economy, unemployment, Obamacare and the success of the Democratic agenda over the past 100 years. It will be short conversation because a few short words describe it, BANKRUPT, BROKE, INSOLVENT and DESTITUTE? Sorry, forgot a word DEBT- DEBT- DEBT- DEBT- DEBTDEBT- DEBT as far as the eye can see and your grandchildren and greatgrandchildren’s eyes can see. Debt and bankruptcy IS the Democrat’s playbook to prosperity and no president has ever represented spending and debt better than Barack Obama.

sidies show, it is hard to ever end subsidies), bailouts (taxpayer dollars used to save politicians’ friends from their failures), military equipment the military doesn’t want, and funding welfare services for illegal aliens.

Federal departments which do not meet their objectives should be eliminated, some have overseen a worsening of the situation they were created to improve. E.g., we are more dependent on foreign oil today than when the Department of Energy was created 30 years ago to end our dependence on foreign oil. (Turn the American energy industry loose.) E.g., American education is comparatively worse (although more expensive) than when the Department of Education was created to improve education about thirty years ago. (Turn education back to the states and local governments.)

One wonders why we would fund things like these even if we didn’t have to borrow 43-cents of every dollar of spending and have a $14 trillion debt.

Funding these things with borrowed money is evidence of insanity in the U.S. Congress. It is time to eliminate all this wasteful spending.

If seniors don’t get their Social Security check, it will only be because President Obama chose to pay for things like failing government programs and training Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly rather than pay Social Security obligations.

To the editor, President Obama recently tried to scare seniors by claiming that he wasn’t sure Social Security checks could be sent to seniors unless Republicans raise the debt ceiling on his terms. This, of course, is a lie.

On average every month the U.S. Treasury collects about $186-billion.

Social Security payments are about $49.2-billion monthly. Even adding Medicare and Medicaid costs ($50-billion), military salaries ($2.9-billion), interest on the national debt ($29-billion), veterans affairs funding ($2.9-billion), and federal employee salaries and benefits ($14.2-billion), there is almost another $40-billion left for other programs.

Currently the Federal government spends about $306-billion every month, so our government borrows about 43 cents of every dollar of spending. Thus, unless the debt ceiling is raised, President Obama will have to prioritize how the available money is spent.

Our government funds thousands of programs that should be eliminated or severely cut because they provide little or no value to American citizens.

Here are a few examples: $2.6-million to train Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly, promotion of rural tourism in Lebanon, $12-million to promote economic growth in Lebanon, a study to determine if male genitalia size is related to gay men’s health, subsidies (as the ethanol and oil sub-

LETTERS The government spends $306B a month and borrows 43% of it

In the last election we voted for change without asking: to what?

To the editor, The congress is tasked with raising money and authorizing the expenditure of the government’s money... our money.

For the elephants, the proper level of taxation is no longer a question of paying for needed services in the most efficient manner. Rather, it is strictly a political decision. Their view seems to be that proper taxation level is a political determination and only political obstacles stand in the way of achieving the political goal. Is that position historically consistent with the party’s principles? Is it even common sense?

Currently the elephants express concern about deficits. That’s the talk.

But they refuse to even consider raising taxes to reduce the deficit or to consider closing tax loopholes that distort the economy. The House passed the Ryan budget plan, which cuts taxes and spending by trillions of dollars but does almost nothing to reduce the deficit over the next 10 years. That’s the walk. The question is: Do they actually care about the deficit or is it all talk?

The donkeys have lost their right to demagogue on the topic. They simply abdicated the responsibility for even making a budget let lone trying to balance it for the past two years.

They need to be excoriated for their irresponsible ineptitude. They are guilty of profligate spending when it was intuitively obvious to the casual observer that we could not sustain the existing debt let alone add to it.

Mr. Ryan is to be thanked for having the courage to do what needed to be done. The hope had been that Mr. Ryan’s budget would have been a first step, a way to start a serious dialogue on the state of the nation’s finances.

That has not happened and donkeys and elephants alike share the responsibility for the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in.

In the last presidential election we voted for change without asking: Change from what? Or change to what? Voters must have been hoping the issues facing us would just dry up and blow away. We have gotten exactly what we deserved. Unfortunately we now seem to have a campaigner and chief. He has abdicated the responsibility to lead the nation to a cadre of czars. His own people describe him as leading from behind, whatever that means. He seems to favor political fund raising and campaigning for the next election to executing the responsibilities of his current job.

After his apology tour we have been saddled with a series of gaffs, rebuffs and snubs internationally. We are not demonstrably better off today than we were on inauguration day. We are deeper in debt, the currency is under pressure, unemployment is higher and still rising and our standing in the world has not been lower since well before the First World War. Vote early, vote often.

Laconia police hosting public meeting on burglaries on Tuesday night POLICE from page one reached the house. After arriving, officers searched the area and the house while a female officer joined the woman so she wouldn’t be alone.

“I want to thank Chief (Christopher) Adams who, on his own time, stopped by to check on her welfare,” he said.

“I also want to thank Lt. (Matthew) Canfield who called last night to check up on us,” he said.

In his update of the burglaries to the three commissioners, Capt. Steven Clarke said there have been 16 burglaries at night and two attempts.

While he was not going to reveal specifics of the ongoing investigation in a public meeting, Clarke said they are following a number of leads and have added plain-clothed detectives to their night patrols.

In addition, there will be a public meeting on Tuesday, July 26 at 6 p.m. in Rotary Hall at the Laconia Public Library for all residents who have concerns to meet with police and express their sentiments.

Clarke said the police will also tell people how to secure their homes and what types of things should be reported immediately to police.

As an example, he said one woman recently woke to her dogs’ ferocious barking but said she didn’t notice anything when she came down from her bedroom. She noticed the next day someone had cut one

of the window screens. Clarke said the dogs probably scared away whoever was trying to enter.

“That’s something I wish had been reported right away,” he said.

Clarke also said police in Gilford and Belmont as well as the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department have called to offer assistance and manpower, if needed.

He said at the present time the city police department “hasn’t exhausted its resources” but he said he really appreciates the assistance.

Adams said there were two similar burglaries in Belmont last week and the two departments have been working together and exchanging information.

Commission Chair Warren Clement said one of his biggest concerns is that someone is going to get hurt or worse.

Echoing Clement’s fears was the Emerald Street victim.

“I don’t know what would have happened if I had been home that night or armed,” he said.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717. Belmont Police can be reached at 267-8350, Gilford Police at 527-4737 and the Sheriff’s Department at 527-5454.

Former Gilmanton police sgt. says he was fired after sexual harassment charge lodged; sues to get job back

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Former Gilmanton Police Sgt. Dennis Rector has challenged his March firing by saying he wasn’t given a formal hearing with selectmen before his termination for alleged sexual harassment.

In a suit filed in Belknap County Superior Court, Rector said a female officer filed a complaint against him in January and selectmen hired an outside consultant to investigate her complaint.

He said that on Feb 15, the Board of Selectmen “invited” him to a meeting saying it would be his “’opportunity to present any further explanation (he) wished to offer...’”

He contends he was never told the hearing could result in his being fired or disciplined and that he was denied due process under New Hampshire law.

He also said his dismissal was not done according to the Police Department’s own internal rules and regulations.

Rector was hired by Gilmanton in 2006 and, as well as being sergeant and second-in-command of the small police department, was also the police prosecutor.

He is also asking for back pay, lawyer fees, and a right to go before the selectmen in an official meeting.

In its response, the town said the meeting it held with Rector was the meeting required under RSA 41:48 that governs the dismissal of a public employee.

The town’s lawyer also raised the affirmative defense that Rector’s dismissal was done for “sufficient cause” and none of his rights, according to the state’s Right-To-Know Law, were violated because he could have had a public hearing in front of selectmen but never asked for one.

An affirmative defense in civil litigation means the defendant, in this care the town of Gilmanton, raised issues of fact not included in the plaintiff’s, in this case Rector, initial complaint.

In its summary statement, the town said Rector’s lawyer was told before the February meeting that it was to be his pre-termination hearing and Rector MURDOCH from page 2 vate investigator he was working with to break into voice mails of members of the royal household.

But an email uncovered during legal proceedings seemed to cast doubt on that claim. It contained a transcript of an illegally obtained conversation, drawn up by a junior reporter and marked “for Neville” — an apparent reference to the News of the World’s chief reporter, Neville Thurlbeck.

Because it seemed to implicate others in the hacking, the email had the potential to blow a hole through News International’s fiercely held contention that one reporter alone had engaged in hacking.

If Murdoch knew about the email — and was aware of its implication — it would lend weight to the suggestion that he’d approved the payoff in an effort to bury the scandal.

Murdoch told lawmakers he was not aware of the

knowingly went to it without his lawyer or any witnesses.

“It was not the town’s responsibility to present the plaintiff’s case for him,” wrote Atty. Andrew Livernois whose firm represents Gilmanton.

Livernois went on to say that Rector had been told a female subordinate had made a complaint of sexual harassment against him and he was given notice of the complaint and adequate opportunity to challenge it.

According to Livernois, the investigative report completed by the town, but not made public, described a “pattern of inappropriate behavior” by Rector toward a subordinate.

He also said Rector never denied the accusations when he was before Selectmen but chose instead to try and justify his behavior.

Rector’s lawyer said he “expressed regret (to the board) if he cause anyone any injury” but that Police Chief Philip O’Brien made no presentation, didn’t provide any witnesses or documents, and never made a formal recommendation .

“Rector was not afforded the opportunity to present witnesses, introduce documents, or cross examine,” wrote his lawyer J. Joseph McKittrick. “The entire process lasted just minutes.”

McKittrick also said nearly all complaints of verbal sexual harassment must be taken in the context and, if the case returns to the Board of Selectmen for a hearing as is requested, it must take into consideration the relationship between the two — they were apparently friends outside of the department — the extent of her participation in the conversations using language similar to his, and the extent to which sexual harassment or discrimination is systemic in both the town and its police department.

Rector’s also wants to know to what extent he or anyone else in the police department was admonished or reprimanded for using similar language and the severity of that punishment.

A structuring hearing via telephone is scheduled for today.

email at the time, but in a statement late Thursday, former News International legal manager Tom Crone and former News of the World editor Colin Myler contradicted him.

“We would like to point out that James Murdoch’s recollection of what he was told when agreeing to settle the Gordon Taylor litigation was mistaken,” they said. “In fact, we did inform him of the ‘for Neville’ email which had been produced to us by Gordon Taylor’s lawyers.”

News International quickly fired back a denial, saying James Murdoch stood by his statement to lawmakers.

Almost at the same time, it announced it had fired yet another journalist in connection with the scandal — identified in the British media as a former News of the World editor who now works at its sister newspaper, The Sun.

Prospects for Ellacoya sailing center seem to have ebbed with departure of state official

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — “This is a classic case of ‘not in my backyard,’ but understandably so,” said Tom Mullen, Commodore of the Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association, Inc., (LWSA) which seeks to construct and operate a sailing center at Ellacoya State Park, in reference to protesting neighbors.

During a lengthy interview this week, Mullen flatly dismissed suggestions that the association, which has offered sailing instruction to youngsters and adults since 1988, is an exclusive yacht club disguised as non-profit charitable organization and the sailing center a ploy to build a private clubhouse on public property.

These are among the charges leveled against the project on the online Winnipesaukee Forum, where it has been a topic of heated controversy for the past year.

Established in 1988, each summer the LWSA operates instructional, recreational and competitive racing programs for youths between six and 16, using facilities provided by Fay’s Boatyard and the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club. The association charges tuition for its sailing classes, but also offers scholarships to those in need. Together with the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club, the association also sponsors

racing events throughout the season.

“We have a mission,” Mullen declared, “to further sailing and teach sailing to young people. We have been registered with the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) as a tax-exempt 501(C)3 since the 1980s,” he said. “We’ve been audited by the IRS. We have nothing to hide,” he continued. “We invite anyone to come and examine our books. Our tax returns are posted on our website. We don’t mess with our taxfree status at all.”

Mullen emphasized that apart from sharing in specific events, there is no formal affiliation between the LWSA and the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club. “I’m not a member of the club and the association is governed by its own board of directors,” he said.

Apart from providing the LWSA with a permanent home, Mullen said the sailing center will enable the association to expand its instructional programs to include adaptive sailing for those with disabilities.

The preliminary plan calls for siting the center at the easternmost edge of the park, between the RV park and the Lake Shore Park development. The project would include construction of a launching ramp, breakwater, dug-in boat basin, docking facilities, and a pavilion — approximately 50 feet by 75 feet — equipped with a catering kitchen and walk-

in refrigeration. The pavilion would be built between the existing bathhouse and the waterfront, with set backs in compliance with the Comprehensive Shoreline Protection Act. The plan foresees the pavilion as a venue for weddings, receptions and other functions, for which a license to serve alcohol would be required.

Mullen estimates the project will cost about $1-million, of which contributions of cash and in kind, both services and materials, will represent half with corporate sponsorships making up most of the balance. the balance taking half of which he expects will take the “I understand the emotions of residents of Lake Shore Park,” Mullen said. “This section of the waterfront has been their private preserve. But, nothing we are proposing will interfere with their use of the waterfront.” He said that nothing that is proposed would obstruct view of the lake and the design of the breakwater and docks would take account of sand migration in order not to have adverse impacts on neighboring beaches. “We are prepared to develop an operating plan that accommodates the interests of Lake Shore Park,” Mullen said.

Mullen described the sailing center as “a public facility” that would be open to anyone wishing to sail on the lake. “Nothing in our proposal contemplates the sale or lease of state land,” he said. “We are seeking a special use permit as a non-profit organization operating for the public good,” Mullen continued.

“There will be no profits. No money will go into anyone’s pockets.” Acknowledging that “we would be intensifying the use of that area,” Mullen said that “it is grossly under-used now.”

Mullen first approached the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED), which owns and manages the state parks, about the project in 2007 and has corresponded with the agency off and on ever since. In August 2010, in response to a request from Ted Austin, the director of the Division of Parks and Recreation, Mullen prepared a written proposal. Within two weeks, Austin replied “for the purposes of your ongoing planning I am glad to suggest, with this communication, that I do preliminarily approve of your ‘conceptual plan’ as described. It has the potential to add a programming dimension to Ellacoya State Park and in-turn our system-wide offerings that would broaden the way our properties are perceived, seen and enjoyed.”

However, Austin left the agency, which has yet to appoint his successor, and Mullen conceded “we’re not where we want to be with DRED” (at this point).

In March, Gail Wolek of the Division of Parks and Recreation told Mullen that Commissioner George see next page GILFORD from page one are redacted.

“I drew a line in the sand, and based on the very (impassioned) discussion last night, I will bid my farewell,” Tomlinson wrote.

“I understand that if litigation is brought forward in the future that I am not immune from being invovled, and that is OK,” he continued.

“I will miss my involvement in the future of the District, but I will be happy to end the sleepless nights, watching with no power to help,” Tomlinson began the next paragraph.

The last sentence of the paragraph is also redacted.

Tomlinson goes onto recommend the district “redirect some money into a Human Relations function that can mediate these issues in the onset, as opposed to waiting months to engage.”

He said he thinks the above may be “private sector like” but said regardless of any union contracts he thinks mediation by an unbiased party can benefit all.

Tomlinson has not returned The Sun’s phone calls.

Tomlinson was first elected to the School Board in 2004. He was re-elected in both 2007 and 2010.

The board has begun the process of replacing Tomlinson, asking for volunteers who would be interested in accepting an appointment to his seat that would expire with town election’s in March. At that time, a vote will be held to fill the remaining year on Tomlinson’ term.

Belmont police investigating weekend ‘incident’ involving off-duty Laconia police officer

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Police Chief Christopher Adams confirmed yesterday that an off-duty Laconia police officer was involved in some type of incident in Belmont this past weekend.

Adams said the matter was a personnel issue and he couldn’t comment on it or name the officer, but said the Belmont Police were investigating.

“I have been made aware of their investigation,” he said.

He did not say if the officer was still working for

his department while Belmont Police investigate or if he has been placed on administrative leave.

Belmont Police Chief Vincent Biaocchetti told The Citizen on Wednesday that this particular investigation would be conducted the same way as any other investigation and nobody involved would be treated differently.

The Daily Sun has learned that the Laconia officer is alleged to have been involved in a verbal argument that escalated into fisticuffs while he was attending a party in the Silver Lake section of Belmont. More than two people are said to have been involved.

Barthelmes reminded New Hampshire residents on Thursday that changes in Division of Motor Vehicles substation operations are going into effect, including the closing of the Belmont and Merrimack substations.

The Belmont substation at the Belknap Mall will close effective today, Friday, July 22.

“These changes are required by the new state budget that went into effect on July 1.” Commissioner Barthelmes said. “Despite the cuts we are

making every effort to maintain good service to the public.”

Hours of operation for other DMV substations will remain the same. A complete list of DMV substations is on the division’s website at www.nh.gov/ safety/divisions/dmv/driverlic/dllocations.html.

Commissioner Barthelmes also urged eligible drivers seeking license renewal to do that online.

Instructions for online renewal are included in letters sent to drivers prior to the expiration of their licenses.

BARGAIN from page 2 momentum. Under discussion among some House Republicans, that proposal would cut spending by $1 trillion or slightly more immediately and raise the debt limit by a similar amount — enough to postpone a final reckoning until early in 2012.

Both sides maneuvered for political advantage and for leverage in negotiations about which little was publicly known.

“At the end of the day, we have a responsibility to act,” said Boehner of GOP lawmakers.

Across the Capitol, however, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blamed some of the same Republicans — “tea party extremists,” he called them — of blocking a deal.

The sometimes-conflicting information underscored the frenzied final days before a threatened default, when the Treasury would no longer be able to pay all its bills in full and the economy could go into a tailspin as interest rates spiked.

Some Democrats confided they were worried Obama would sign off on an agreement that cuts benefit programs without raising tax revenue, and

they peppered Budget Director Jack Lew — in a closed-door meeting in the Senate — with questions about the high-level negotiations.

In an opinion piece in USA Today posted Thursday evening, Obama restated his call for achieving deficit reduction through “historic” amounts of spending cuts but also through “fundamental tax reform.”

It was a stance Reid pointedly emphasized Thursday.

“My caucus agrees with that — and hope the president sticks with that, and I’m confident he will,” the Nevada Democrat said.

One official said the White House had notified Democratic congressional leaders Wednesday night that Obama and the House leaders appeared to be were closing in on a deal said to include $3 trillion in spending cuts but only a promise of higher revenues to be realized through a comprehensive overhaul of the tax code.

Boehner walked a difficult line of his own, not wanting to anger conservatives who hoped — despite every appearance to the contrary — that they could push far deeper cuts through the Senate in the next few days.

from preceding page Bald of DRED was considering the proposal “and hopes to make a decision by mid-April. But two months later she told him “we are on hold for now,” adding “in the meantime, there is much speculation as to what impact a sailing center would have on the park and is it the right approach for both state park visitors as well as the local communities.”

Earlier this week Bald assured one of Mullen’s critics that “I have not given the organization any indication that we are supportive of going forward.”

Yesterday Bald told The Daily Sun that “we get frequent requests to use the parks and other lands and they must always be balanced against the

n Ca

tara Auto Bod y

necessity of ensuring public access.”

Bald stressed that the process for handling such requests is prolonged and complex. First, he, as the commissioner, must approve the proposal, which must subsequently be endorsed by the Council on Resources and Development, composed of the heads of 13 state agencies, and the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee of the Legislature. He indicated that public meetings would likely be held at each step of the process. Finally, the proposal would require a vote of the Governor and Executive Council.

Bald said that he did not expect to making a decision on the proposal in the near future.

Panetta said ready to sign off on gays serving openly in the military

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon chief Leon Panetta has decided to end the ban on gays serving openly in the armed services and certify that repealing the 17-year-old prohibition will not hurt the military’s ability to fight, officials said Thursday.

His decision, which was expected, comes two weeks after the chiefs of the military services told Panetta that ending the ban would not affect military readiness. Dismantling the ban fulfills a 2008 campaign promise by President Barack Obama, who helped usher the repeal through Congress and signed it into law late last December.

But the move also drew vehement opposition from some in Congress and initial reluctance from military leaders, who worried that it could cause a backlash and erode troop cohesion on the battlefield.

Defense officials said the announcement will be made Friday afternoon.

The officials spoke on condition of

anonymity because the decision had not been made public.

President Barack Obama is also expected to certify the change. Repeal of the ban would become effective 60 days after certification, which could open the military to gays by the end of September. The law setting the stage for repeal required the defense secretary to certify to Congress that lifting the ban would not harm military readiness.

The so-called don’t ask, don’t tell policy was adopted during the Clinton administration and has come under an onslaught of legal challenges, including a federal court ruling in early July that ordered the government to immediate stop enforcing the gay ban.

Days later, however, the Obama administration appealed the ruling, saying that abruptly ending the ban would complicate the orderly process for repeal that had already be set in motion.

NFL from page 2 the agreement, too.

The owners locked out players on March 12. During that time, teams weren’t allowed to communicate with current NFL players; players — including those drafted in April — could not be signed; and teams did not pay for players’ health insurance.

The basic framework for the league’s new economic model — including how to split more than $9 billion in annual revenues — was set up during negotiations last week. But final issues

involved how to set aside three pending court cases, including the antitrust lawsuit filed against the NFL in federal court in Minnesota by Tom Brady and nine other players.

NFL general counsel Jeff Pash said the owners’ understanding is that that court case will be dismissed.

One thing the owners originally sought and won’t get, at least right away, is expanding the regular season from 16 games to 18. That won’t change before 2013, and the players must agree to a switch.

A San Francisco appeals court agreed but added a caveat: The government cannot investigate, penalize or discharge anyone for being openly gay.

The military services have conducted extensive internal studies and about five months of training to gauge how troops would react to the change.

A survey of U.S. troops last year found that some two-thirds didn’t care if the ban is lifted. Opposition to the repeal was strongest among combat troops, particularly Marines.

But as training has gone on this year, senior military leaders have said they’ve seen no real problems.

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who retired at the end of June, told The Associated Press in an interview that he saw no roadblocks to the repeal and that people had been “mildly and pleasantly surprised at

the lack of pushback in the training.”

The bulk of the military has been trained on the new law, including a complex swath of details about how the change will or will not affect housing, transfers or other health and social benefits. In most cases, the guidelines demand that gays and lesbians be treated just like any other soldier, sailor, airman or Marine.

There will be differences, however, since same sex partners will not be given the same housing and other benefits as married couples. Instead, they more often will be treated like unmarried couples.

Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., a former Army Ranger, said in a statement Thursday that the ban was “an ineffective policy that prevented talented, highly skilled soldiers from honorably serving our nation.”

DIVERSITY from page 3 younger ethnic populations.

“New Hampshire sort of echoes national trends on a much more muted level,” Johnson said.

New Hampshire also echoes its neighbors in seeing a large increase in the number of same-sex unmarried couples counted in the census. As in Maine and Vermont, same-sex households account for about 1 in 100 of New Hampshire households, increasing 71 percent from 2,703 in 2000 to 4,635 in 2010.

New Hampshire enacted civil unions in 2007 and made gay marriage legal two years later. Since the

marriage law took effect in January 2010, more than 1,500 gay couples have wed or had their civil unions converted into marriages, according to the according to the state division of vital statistics.

Republican lawmakers sponsored two bills this year to repeal the law, but the Legislature postponed action on them until next year. Supporters of the repeal effort believe they have enough votes to pass a bill, but Democratic Gov. John Lynch has promised to veto it, and it’s uncertain whether Republicans have enough votes to override a veto.

Skunk family patrols Whipple Ave. neighborhood looking for burglars?

LACONIA — One Whipple Avenue woman wants her neighbors to know that if the police don’t get the people responsible for burglarizing local houses, the neighborhood skunks will.

Nancy Durgin said her and her husband were out for their nightly walk a few nights ago when they saw a mother skunk leading her three pups through the neighborhood.

“They poked around in my neighbor’s yard and then went over to Gale Avenue and poked around there for a while,” she said.

Durgin said she was sure the mama skunk was showing her babies the neighborhood so they know where to

forage when they grow up.

She also said it would more than just a little bit of poetic justice if the people who have been burglarizing homes throughout the city were to get sprayed by Mrs. Skunk and her brood.

“I bet they’d be pretty easy to identify at that point,” she said.

While city police are taking the burglaries very seriously, Capt. Bill Clary said a few of his officers who have been investigating the burglaries have also reported close encounters with skunks, porcupines and other creatures of the night.

Judge denies Baldi access to fire files

CONCORD (AP) — A judge has denied a Laconia restaurant owner’s claim that the state Fire Marshal is not a law enforcement official and thus entitled to keep details of his office’s ongoing investigations confidential.

Brandi Baldi the owner of the Wide Open Restaurant, Hotel and Saloon had filed suit asking the court to order the Fire Marshal to release his office’s report regarding the September 2010 fire that caused about $750,000 in

damages to the business.

Baldi is seeking information about the fire for insurance purposes.

In a four-page ruling in Merrimack County Superior Court dated July 12, Judge Robert McNamara said he disagreed with Baldi’s primary argument that the Fire Marshal is not a law enforcement officer.

Baldi’s lawyer says he wants to know how disclosure would potentially damage the investigation.

GREECE from page 2 lion ($71 billion) to the rescue package until 2014 by either rolling over Greek bonds that they hold, swapping them for new ones with lower interest rates or selling the bonds back to Greece at a low price.

“For the first time since the beginning of this crisis, we can say that the politics and the markets are coming together,” said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.

Initial reaction from markets and analysts to Thursday’s deal was cautiously positive. The euro, which had rallied sharply on expectation of the deal, rose further to gain 1.2 percent against the dollar.

The “summit conclusions surprise by their size and range,” Marie Diron, senior economic adviser to the Ernst & Young, said in a note. “The measures imply significant private sector involvement and very large further support from the EU. All politically acceptable measures are being used.”

The deal on involving private creditors is widely expected to be considered a “selective default” by the ratings agencies, making Greece the first euro country to ever be in default — if likely only for a short period of time.

Because of that, the eurozone will back up any new Greek bonds issued to the banks with guarantees. Those guarantees are necessary because Greek banks use Greek government debt as collateral for emergency support from the European Central Bank.

Those bonds would no longer work as collateral if hit with a default rating, meaning Greek banks would lose the ECB support and quickly collapse.

In the case of bond rollovers or swaps, the new Greek bonds issued to the banks would have long maturities of up to 30 years and low inter-

est rates, according to the Institute of International Finance, the group representing the private sector creditors.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy estimated the rates would average 4.5 percent.

That will give Greece more time to get its struggling economy back in shape and cut some 21 percent of its future debt burden.

Leaders agreed to provide the new eurozone rescue loans to Greece at a 3.5 percent interest rate and with maturities of between 15 and 30 years. They will have an additional grace period of 10 years.

“I think this is extremely important to ensure the debt sustainability of Greece,” Barroso said.

In addition to the new aid for Greece, the leaders also overhauled their bailout fund, giving it the power to intervene in countries before they are in full-blown crisis mode.

The changes to the fund are a big turnaround, especially for Germany, which had blocked any such move earlier this year. They show how worried the eurozone is that its debt crisis could spill over from small countries like Greece, Ireland and Portugal to big ones like Spain or Italy. Bailouts for those countries would likely overwhelm the eurozones financial capacity.

To avoid ever being in that position, the EFSF will be able to provide a “precautionary program,” such as short-term credit lines, for struggling countries. Such credit lines could be very helpful for Italy and Spain if they ever experience a funding squeeze, showing investors that support is available if things get tight.

They could also make it easier for Ireland and Portugal to start raising money again on financial markets once their own rescue programs run out.

Thursday evening supper & Big Band concert will kick-off effort to fix Sanbornton church’s bandstand

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — About 56 years ago, the Second Baptist Church of Sanbornton decided it couldn’t be the only church in town without a bandstand, so the members built one on the lawn of the church on Upper Bay Road, which overlooks Lake Winnisquam. The bandstand there has been the site of many events, weddings and countless concerts by the Moulton Band.

As the years of service have accumulated, the bandstand has become in need of maintenance. On Thursday, July 28, the church will host a spaghetti supper and concert to raise funds for a revitalization effort, which is expected to cost about $5,000 in materials. Earl Leighton, Jr., a member of the church, will donate the labor to do the work.

The restoration effort was instigated by the Lakes Region Big Band, which uses the church as a practice facility when scheduling conflicts prevent them from rehearsing at their usual home, the Franklin Opera House.

“The Big Band has a big heart,” noted Roger Grey, a church member who’s helping put on the July 28 event. The band members, noting the rough state of the bandstand, came up with the idea to do host the fund raising event. Organizers will ask for a donation of $5 for the supper, which will start at 5:30 p.m.

The 21-member big band will start an hour later, there is no charge for the concert.

A strategy to raise the remaining necessary funds will be developed once the proceeds from the July 28 event are tallied.

Leighton, whose father Earl, Sr. and grandfather Albert Leighton helped build the bandstand around 1955, believes the structure’s roof and floor are sound. So are most of the posts, though at least one will need replacing. He thinks the plywood decking should be replaced, the lattice and also the footings, which have been rejected from the ground by decades of frost cycles. After those improvements and a fresh coat of paint, it should be ready to serve as the site of memories for several more decades.

“I think this stand’s got a lot of life left in it, it just needs to be revitalized,” said Leighton.

“The band concerts have been going on for many years. I meet people in their 80s and 90s, they’re from Massachusetts, have cottages on the lake, they enjoy coming here,” Leighton said. The Moulton Band, which has been a community band in Sanbornton active since 1889, provides a concert at the 2nd Baptist Church twice each summer. The sound of the music and the rural scenery are paired with the smells of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and freshly-popped popcorn.

“It’s a tradition,” added congregation member Annette Otis, who noted that many church members were married at the bandstand.

Grey said the effort is a chance to “preserve a bit of history.”

Recalling how he and other adults, when they were children, would ride bicycles on the grass while adults enjoyed the music, Leighton said, “I hope many more generations will enjoy the bandstand and concerts.”

One huge Rx management company buying another (AP) — The top two U.S. companies managing prescription drug benefits are uniting in a $29.1 billion deal they say will help achieve key goals of the health care overhaul: reining in costs and improving patients’ health.

Express Scripts Inc. announced an agreement Thursday to buy rival Medco Health Solutions Inc. Together, they would handle the prescriptions of about 135 million people, more than one in three Americans.

That will give them even more clout in demanding discounts from drugmakers, who are dealing with falling or stagnant revenue as an unprecedented number of blockbuster drugs taken daily by millions is getting cheaper generic competition.

Pharmacy benefit managers process mail-order prescriptions and handle bills for prescriptions filled at retail pharmacies, acting as middlemen between employers offering prescription drug benefits and drugmakers.

They also hold down costs by extracting discounts and rebates from drugmakers, using tiered copayments that nudge patients to buy generics or the lowest-cost brand names, and reminding patients to take medicines as scheduled to limit costly complications.

Together, Express Scripts and Medco handled more than 1.7 billion prescriptions in 2010 and reported almost $110 billion in revenue, although Medco recently lost several contracts covering millions of people. They have razor-thin profit margins.

Tortoise’s artificial limb came from hardware store

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — The artificial limb put on an African tortoise at Washington State University didn’t come from a high-tech prosthetics lab.

It came from Ace Hardware in Pullman.

The caster-style wheel cost around $7, according to the two veterinarians who installed it on the tortoise after amputating the reptile’s damaged left front leg.

“We got several sizes to find the right height,” said Dr. Nickol Finch, of the WSU veterinary teaching hospital.

The epoxy that attached the wheel to the tortoise’s shell was also purchased at Ace, she said.

The 23-pound tortoise, named Gamera, was shown to the public Thursday. The male reptile has become a celebrity since photos of its artificial limb were released Wednesday.

Gamera ate grass and lumbered around the hospital’s front entrance as cameras rolled. The tortoise was able to move across pavement, lawn and even bark.

“He’s an ATT, an all-terrain tortoise,” said Charlie Powell, spokesman for the veterinary hospital.

The tortoise was brought to the hospital in April by its owner, a resident of nearby Lewiston, Idaho. Its

left front leg had been severely damaged, likely from a burn, and had to be amputated, Finch said.

Finch, who specializes in exotic animals, and Dr. Courtney Watkins, the surgeon, decided to install the casterstyle wheel, similar to what is found on office chairs, as the best chance for the animal to live a long life. The surgery was performed two months ago, but the story is only now coming to light.

Gamera, named for the Japanese movie monster, moves well now and has been gaining weight. The owner has relinquished the animal to the hospital, where it will likely be used in teaching, Finch said. She said the experience has been uplifting.

“To have an animal come in with basically a death sentence before we took him, and now is moving around and eating like a little pig, is good for the heart,” Finch said.

She said this is the first time doctors at WSU have put a wheel on a tortoise, although the procedure has been done elsewhere.

The 12-year-old Gamera is likely to live for decades, and get much bigger, Finch said.

“There’s a good chance he will outlive me,” she said.

attack. It still holds the bodies of more than 900 men.

“I think it is important and an interesting find,” said Michael Pietrusewsky, professor of anthropology at the University of Hawaii. “It would be interesting because finding the remains of Japanese servicemen from that long ago at Pearl Harbor is quite rare.”

Pietrusewsky noted that Fong, a former student of his, is one of a handful in Hawaii with expertise in areas including physical and forensic anthropology and excavation of ancient Hawaiian remains.

It was April 1 when items plucked from the water during the overnight dredging were laid to dry. When it was determined a skull was among the dredged items, contractors were ordered to stop the work, Emsley said.

“We definitely wanted it to be handled correctly,” she said.

“That’s why it’s been kept quiet. We didn’t want to excite people prematurely,” she said.

The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command on Oahu, charged with identifying Americans who were killed in action but were never brought home, has been asked to determine who the skull belongs to. The cranium was turned over to the command’s lab for tests that will include examining dental records and DNA, said John Byrd, the lab’s director and a forensic anthropologist.

“We’re working on the case but the case is just in the early stages of analysis,” he said. “We’re not going to know much more about it for a while yet.”

The lab is the only accredited Skeletal Identification Laboratory in the United States. JPAC has identified more than 560 Americans since the command was activated in 2003.

When more information is gleaned from the skull, other agencies could get involved including the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Japanese Consulate.

Skull discovered at Pearl Harbor

HONOLULU (AP) — Forensic scientists are conducting tests on a skull unearthed at the bottom of Pearl Harbor to determine if it belonged to a Japanese pilot who died in the historic attack on Dec. 7, 1941.

An excavation crew dredging the harbor recently made the startling discovery of the skull, which archeologists believe is from one of the Japanese aviators in the surprise attack.

Archaeologist Jeff Fong of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific described the finding to The Associated Press and the efforts under way to identify the skull. He said the early analysis has made him “75 percent sure” that the skull belongs to a Japanese pilot.

He did not provide specifics about what archaeologists have learned about the skull, but said it was not from one of Hawaii’s ancient burial sites. They also contacted local police and ruled out the possibility that it’s from an active missing person case, said Denise Emsley, public affairs officer for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Hawaii, which was being inundated with media calls Wednesday about the skull from international news organizations.

The skull was in water between 35 and 40 feet deep, Don Rochon, public affairs officer for NAVFAC Pacific said Thursday.

The items found with the skull, which was determined not to be from a Native Hawaiian, provided some clues: forks, scraps of metal and a Coca-Cola bottle Fong said researchers have determined was from the 1940s.

Fifty-five Japanese airmen were killed and 29 of their aircraft were shot down in the attack, compared with the 2,400 U.S. service members who died.

No Japanese remains have been found at Pearl Harbor since World War II. Pearl Harbor is home to the USS Arizona Memorial, which sits on top of the battleship that sank during the

fees as the couple ends their 25-year marriage.

The dispute may have little impact on the divorce, since the former Hollywood couple is expected to reach a confidential, out-of-court settlement.

Schwarzenegger’s filing Wednesday differs little from Shriver’s initial petition for divorce, which was filed on July 1. Both seek joint custody of their sons, ages 17 and 13.

Neither indicated exactly when they separated, although they announced in May they were estranged and Schwarzenegger later admitted he fathered a child with a member of his household staff.

The former couple does not have a prenuptial agreement, according to their filings. That means Shriver would be entitled to half of Schwarzenegger’s assets under California law, although the exact terms were expected to be set through private mediation.

Schwarzenegger would also be expected to provide financial support for his children. In other celebrity divorces, those sums have totaled tens of thousands of dollars a month.

Any agreement reached by Schwarzenegger and Shriver would become public only if there is a later dispute over its terms, or they opt to handle their divorce through a Superior Court judge.

Schwarzenegger’s disclosure of his out-of-wedlock child forced a temporary halt to his acting comeback plans, although it was recently announced that he will appear in the upcoming film “Last Stand” as a border-town sheriff who unwittingly finds himself battling a notorious drug kingpin on the run.

Shriver, a Kennedy family heiress and former network television journalist, has not announced her plans.

Judge: Lohan needs to speed up community service

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge warned Lindsay Lohan Thursday that she must spend more time doing community service and enroll in psychological counseling or risk running into problems with her probation.

In a separate development, Lohan was sued for assault and battery in Riverside County by a former worker at the Betty Ford Center who had a dispute with the actress in December.

In Los Angeles, Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner reminded the actress during a status hearing in her criminal cases that she had to complete see next page

“She’s not going to get five minutes more than one year” to complete the service at a shelter for women and the county morgue, Sautner said.

The judge opened the hearing by telling Lohan

that probation officials had submitted a report stating she had violated the terms of her release.

“Don’t look shocked Ms. Lohan because it isn’t true,” Sautner said, explaining the probation officer was relying on incorrect information.

The judge did chide the actress for not providing officials with a phone number where she could be reached for monitoring.

PSU produces ‘It Gets Better’ video aimed at providing hope to LGBT youth PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University has produced a video, titled “It Gets Better,” aimed at providing hope to gay young people who, because of their sexual orientation, may face bullying and harassment.

Lesbian, Gay, Transsexual, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) kids and teens often hide their sexuality for fear of bullying and are at a much higher risk of suicide.

Without other openly gay adults and mentors in their lives, they can’t imagine what their future may hold.

The “It Gets Better Project” began a year ago, after syndicated columnist and author Dan Savage created a YouTube video to inspire hope for young people facing harassment. Professor James Whiting organized production of a Plymouth State video featuring faculty and staff members in an effort to reach out to young people who face fear and uncertainty in their lives.

“I thought it was important for our campus to take

part, to add our individual and collective PSU community voice, to say to queer youth in New England, throughout the country and around the world, hang in there, it does get better,” said Whiting.

The “It Gets Better Project” was created to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach — if they can just get through their teen years. The “It Gets Better Project” wants to remind teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone — and it can and does get better.

“I hope that this video sends a powerful message to queer youth, perhaps future students, about Plymouth as a welcoming and inclusive community, and as a campus with a significant presence of queer and allied faculty and staff who care about our youth,” added Whiting.

The It Gets Better Project (TM) has turned into a worldwide movement, inspiring over 10,000 usercreated videos viewed over 35 million times. To date,

the project has received submissions from celebrities, organizations, activists, politicians, and media personalities including President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Adam Lambert, Anne Hathaway, Colin Farrell, Matthew Morrison of “Glee,” Joe Jonas, Joel Madden, Ke$ha, Sarah Silverman, Tim Gunn, Ellen DeGeneres, Suze Orman, the staffs of The Gap, Google, Facebook, Pixar, the Broadway community and many more.

Program in developmental disabilities offered by Lakes Region Community College

LACONIA – The new certificate program in Developmental Disabilities, launched by Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) in January, will start up again for the Fall 2011 semester.

This certificate program is part of the Human Service Program at the college.

Students can enroll in one course or the entire certificate program.

Any credits earned in the certificate program can be used towards an Associate’s Degree in Human Services.

LRCC has had two classes to date in this program and is planning to offer the prerequisite course, Overview of Developmental Disabilities, again in the fall.

According to Human Services Department Chair, Linda Ferruolo, there is demand for this program. “We currently have nine students enrolled in the program and have had inquiries from additional students who want to begin in the fall.”

To implement this program, LRCC has worked closely with Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS), a local non-profit organization that works with individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

By working together, LRCC and LRCS are able to combine talents to develop this certificate program.

There is also a financial incentive for those interested in pursuing the certificate program.

Funding is available for the tuition, text books, and student fees associated with this program.

The Institute of Disability at the University of New Hampshire, through its DirectConnect Initiative is supporting this.

DirectConnect is a project funded by the US see next page

‘Self-Therapy for the Micki Moore of Franklin honored as Lakes Stutterer,’ 192-page guide, Region Community College ‘Student of the Year’ now available at libraries

LAKES REGION — “Self-Therapy for the Stutterer,” the 192-page guide written by the founder of The Stuttering Foundation, Malcolm Fraser, is now available at most public libraries including those in Alton, Gilford, Gilmanton, Meredith, New Hampton, and Sanbornton.

Written to and for the many adults and teens who stutter, the book outlines a self-therapy program that describes what the person who stutters can do to work towards better communication. It is often used as a supplement to speech therapy.

Stutterers do not need to surrender helplessly to speech difficulty, but can learn to communicate with ease rather than with effort. There is no quick and easy way to tackle the problem, but with the right approach, self-therapy can be effective.

“There are always some who stutter who are unable to get professional help and others who do not seem to be able to profit from it,” said Charles Van Riper, Ph.D. “In this book, Malcolm Fraser has provided guidance for those who must help themselves. Knowing well from his own experience as a stutterer the difficulties of self-therapy, he outlines a series of objectives and challenges that should serve as a map for the person who is lost in the dismal swamp of stuttering and wants to find a way out.”

The book is available free to all public libraries. If a library doesn’t have it, they can contact the Stuttering Foundation toll-free at 1 (800) 992-9392 for a copy. from preceding page Department of Labor which is addressing the multiple issues within NH’s Direct Care Workforce, including training.

According to LRCS executive director Christine Santaniello, “We are very pleased with the interest in the program to date. We are looking forward to others having the opportunity to participate so that we will continue to have a qualified workforce to meet our current and expanding program needs. Adding the incentive of funding through DirectConnect for the students is a bonus. We are able to attract people who would otherwise not be able to attend LRCC. We are fortunate to have such committed partners of the college and the Institute on Disability.”

Those interested in enrolling in the Certificate in Developmental Disabilities program are encouraged to call Linda Ferruolo at 524-3207 regarding registration and scholarship assistance through the grant.

LACONIA — Micki Moore of Franklin has been honored with Lakes Region Community College’s (LRCC) Student of the Year Award.

“It was great to have my mom be a part of my Nurse Pinning Ceremony and receiving the Student of the Year Award at graduation,” said Moore. “My LRCC academic career could not have ended on a better note. I waited 23 years to go to college and was determined to make the most of it; the faculty’s vote for Student of the Year was the icing on the cake.”

Moore served two terms as LRCC Student Senate president while in one of the most strenuous programs offered by the College, earning an associate of nursing degree. Under Moore’s leadership, LRCC’s Student Senate was awarded the Campus Compact for NH Presidents’ Leadership Award in 2010. In addition to graduating with academic honors, Moore was nominated to attend the International Scholar Laureate Program Delegation on Nursing in Australia in 2011.

Moore’s future career goals include continuing for the bachelor’s degree in nursing, becoming an Accredited Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP), as well as completing her master’s degree. “Everything in due time,” Moore continued. “My current focus is finding employment in Psychiatric Nursing.”

Installation of photovoltaic panels at Lakes Region Community College efficient and economical

LACONIA — Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) recently installed photovoltaic (PV) panels on the Center for Arts and Technology academic building, which are 30% more efficient than the fixed panels and will save the College about $3,600 a year in energy costs.

“Solar panels producing 15.57 kilowatts of power is the equivalent of the energy used to power more than three average residences or five energy efficient homes,” said LRCC Energy Services Technology (EST) Professor Wes Golomb, who serves on the NH Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Energy Board (EESE) in addition to his LRCC teaching duties. “The College and the Project qualifies for a major PV incentive from the PUC of $12,000. It is exciting to incorporate state-of-the-art photovoltaics into the College’s EST on- site training.”

The Project was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and the State Energy Program through the NH Office of Energy and Planning.

LRCC’s EST program offers courses in PV installation as part of the curriculum. LRCC is the only

college in New Hampshire to offer North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) Certification of PV installers.

Advice To The Players popular KidsCamp to perform ‘Macbeth’ in Sandwich on July 29

SANDWICH — Advice To The Players’ popular KidsCamp will present a performance of Macbeth at the Fairgrounds Stage at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 29.

More than 30 budding thespians, led by Richard and Marion Posner, will star in the production of William Shakespeare’s classic.

“A production of ‘Macbeth’ with 8 — 12 year-olds is an ambitious undertaking,” said Posner, who runs Tamworth Learning Circles and is the creator of the kids theatre company, Snapdragon Theatre Guild. Joined by his wife and assistants Emma Bickford and Abbie Morin, the kids dove right

in to a series of theatre games.

“Richard and Marion are huge assets in our theatre community,” remarked Becca Boyden, Advice To The Players’ executive director.

“Marion has been acting with us since our beginning and now she and Richard have started this fantastic theatre guild for kids. They bring a wealth of theatre training and experience with kids to our camp program and we are so lucky to have them working with us.”

from preceding page founding document establishing their town. That search took them into the town vault, then to the Historical Society, then the State Archives in Concord. No charter! About to conclude that this valuable document was lost to history, one last desperate inquiry was made to the University of New Hampshire Library in Durham.

There, sealed in a special collection, was the Holderness founding document, worn and fragile but readable.

It’s reading will be a part of the event.

Recently, word was received from the British House of Commons wishing Holderness well and “marking the long continuity between our peoples.”

The document was signed by the Rt. Hon. Graham Stuart, member of Parliament for Holderness, England for whom the town was named. Stuart has been seen on TV of late, on the floor of Parliament, questioning the influence of the Rupert Murdock

empire upon British politics.

Once a part of Holderness, Ashland will participate in the celebration by holding open some of its historic sites and entering the Grand Street Parade, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on August 6. This will be followed by a vintage boat flotilla, all-weekend Indian encampment, and various historic re-enactments such a handhewing a log into building timber, basket-making, storytelling, and birch bark canoe.

Also planned are prominent speakers on Indian life, a powwow, folk concert, band concerts, street dance, native crafts, a contra dance, fire department pancake breakfast, fireworks, and an August 8 “I can remember when…” evening, the time for long-time residents to show up at Longhaul Farm to recall and show off family albums and other heirlooms.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis taking, you remain in a state of grace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You get busy without complaint or explanation. Your concentration is strong, and you ride this day like an expert surfer riding the ultimate wave. Hang loose!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There will be a beautiful continuity to this day, as though things are picking up where they left off and progressing to interesting places. All you have to do is enjoy the scenery.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Here’s something to do before you invite a task into your life: Find out how much effort it will take. Ask questions about the timeframe. This will prevent later disappointment or resentment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The idea of being late is, in some realms of thought, ridiculous. You are where you are when you are there. If you believe that everything in the universe is working perfectly, there is no such thing as “late.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because you make a wrong choice doesn’t mean you owe yourself a punishment. Try to bring more understanding to the scene instead. You’ll do better next time.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 22).

Dedicating yourself to loved ones helps you grow in athletic, mechanical, technical and artistic ability. You’ll hold a position of leadership in August. You’ll use physical energy to build and generate wealth through the fall, but in 2012, you’ll earn by making intelligent decisions. A romantic getaway happens in Taurus, and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 5, 39 and 18.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What someone else thinks of as a step forward, you think of as taking two steps back. It may be a sign that you’re not going to get anywhere fast with this person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Decisions will seem more important than they really are. Almost anything you decide can be later rescinded if necessary. Know that you are free to change your mind, and you’ll taste more of life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are willing to devote a few minutes to solving the unexpected problems presented to you by family and friends.

But if it looks like the issue cannot be licked in under 20 minutes, you’ll let it ride another day.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll set aside a certain time for a project, and life will get in the way. This is not a test of your resolve. It’s more likely an opportunity to recognize what’s more important and tend to it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The same is true of lunches and parachutes -- you’re better off packing your own today. The more self-reliant you are the better equipped you’ll be to create a happy outcome.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Another person is thinking intently about you. It feels nice to know you are being considered. But you should also know that the other person sees you not how you are, but how he or she expects you to be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your calm satisfaction lives outside the boundaries of ticking minutes. While you focus on what you are doing without worry about the amount of time it is

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, July 22, 2011— Page 25

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, July 22, the 203rd day of 2011. There are 162 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 22, 1861, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution declaring the Civil War was being waged to preserve the Union rather than to end slavery, a stance that would shift as the confl ict continued. (The Senate passed a similar resolution three days later.)

On this date: In 1587, an English colony fated to vanish under mysterious circumstances was established on Roanoke Island off North Carolina.

In 1893, Wellesley College professor Katharine Lee Bates visited the summit of Pikes Peak, where she was inspired to write the original version of her poem “America the Beautiful.”

In 1916, a bomb went off during a Preparedness Day parade in San Francisco, killing ten people.

In 1934, bank robber John Dillinger was shot to death by federal agents outside Chicago’s Biograph Theater, where he had just seen the Clark Gable movie “Manhattan Melodrama.”

In 1943, American forces led by General George S. Patton captured Palermo, Sicily, during World War II. In 1975, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in voting to restore the American citizenship of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. In 1991, police in Milwaukee arrested Jeffrey Dahmer, who later confessed to murdering 17 men and boys (Dahmer ended up being beaten to death by a fellow prison inmate).

One year ago: President Hugo Chavez severed Venezuela’s diplomatic relations with neighboring Colombia over claims he was harboring leftist guerrillas.

Today’s Birthdays: Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., is 88.

Actor-comedian Orson Bean is 83. Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta is 79. Actress Louise Fletcher is 77. Game show host Alex Trebek is 71. Singer George Clinton is 70.

Actor-singer Bobby Sherman is 68. Movie writer-director Paul Schrader is 65. Actor Danny Glover is 65. Actor-comedian-director Albert Brooks is 64. Rock singer Don Henley is 64. Actor Willem Dafoe is 56. Rhythmand-blues singer Keith Sweat is 50. Actress Joanna Going is 48. Actor Rob Estes is 48.

Folk singer Emily Saliers is 48. Actor John Leguizamo is 47. Actor-comedian David Spade is 47. Actor Patrick Labyorteaux is 46. Rock musician Pat Badger is 44. Actress Irene Bedard is 44. Actor Rhys Ifans (rees EYE’-fanz) is 44. Actor Colin Ferguson is 39.

Rock musician Daniel Jones is 38. Singer Rufus Wainwright is 38. Actress Franka Potente (poh-TEN’-tay) is 37. Actress A.J. Cook is 33. Actress Selena Gomez is 19.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I work as a clerk at a clothing store. Yesterday, a woman came in with a boy who looked to be about 13. She wanted him to try on a specific outfit, and he refused, saying it “looked stupid.” I silently agreed with his assessment. The outfit was ridiculous for a boy his size and age.

The two of them got into an argument, and I heard her say, “I want you to look nice for the wedding. Try it on.” I walked over and gently told his mother, “I’ve heard this from other customers, and I can assure you, if he doesn’t like it, he’s not going to wear it, and you’ll be wasting your money.” The boy then said, “See, Mom? Listen to this guy. Even he knows this is stupid.”

The mother then shouted, “No! I want you to look nice, and you cannot wear a dark suit with a dark shirt. You’ll look like a pimp.” The boy calmly replied, “Well, in that case, I won’t go.” Whereupon the mother said she’d make him wear a dress to the wedding and called him a moron. At that point, I politely told her she’d have to leave, and I escorted her out while she screamed that her son was an ingrate.

Was I wrong to have escorted her out? My boss wasn’t angry, but I know he would rather have made the sale. I thought the woman’s behavior was inappropriate. -- Sales Clerk in Kansas Dear Kansas: Screaming customers should be politely asked to leave, and that mother seemed particularly past coping. However, clerks need to be careful. It doesn’t help to take sides and become the paying customer’s adversary. You might have had better luck if you could have steered both of them toward an outfit that would have allowed for a compromise.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Feeling Alone,” who has been married for 40 years and her retired husband is too busy to spend time with her. She wanted to meet an old flame

for lunch. She got the same old advice from you: Tell your husband how you feel, find outside interests, or get counseling.

You just don’t get it. I’ve also been married 40 years, and my spouse is recently retired. I still work full time. When he retired, he became even more involved with community affairs.

He’s intelligent, well-spoken, a great problem-solver and a real “can-do” guy. The result is that I never see him. Even when he’s home, he isn’t really here -- he’s on the phone or online, dealing with yet another committee or crisis.

I have shared my feelings of loneliness with him. I am involved in other things. What I don’t have is a husband who is interested in me. I didn’t get married so I could become an expert quilter, gardener and volunteer. These spouses are addicted to their outside interests and give their marriages whatever time is left over. “Feeling” should decide whether she is better off with or without him, and then act accordingly.

-- Lonely but Staying Dear Lonely: We agree that each spouse must decide whether or not to stay in the marriage. Discussing it is the first step. Finding other activities is best for those who choose to stay. We recommend counseling in order to air grievances and make the best decision. Too often, neglected spouses expect the other person to change, when that is not likely to happen.

We appreciate your input.

Dear Annie: I’m not an expert, but I recommend that “Itching in Ky.” and other homeowners with bedbug problems place their guest bed mattress in a full mattress cover made of plastic or other non-penetrable material with a zippered closure. -- Fellow Kentuckian Dear Fellow: With bedbugs such a problem, it can’t hurt to protect yourself before the critters move in. Some of these mattress covers also protect against dust mites and allergens.
