The Festival, which 18 months ago abandoned its plans to build a 700-seat, $10-million world class concert hall on the 60-acre property, has placed the property on the real estate market for $1,695,000.

NFL season saved as players ratify deal with owners

WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of public nastiness and private negotiations, of court filings and rulings, of players and owners squabbling over more than $9 billion a year, NFL fans finally saw the handshake and heard the words they awaited: “Football’s back.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith both used that phrase while standing shoulder-to-shoulder Monday, announcing their agreement on a 10-year deal to end the lockout that began in March.

Then came what may truly be the lasting image of the dispute’s resolution: Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Jeff Saturday wrapped one of his burly arms around New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and enveloped him in a hug — a gesture that symbolized the acrimony’s end more than any statement could.

“I’d like, on behalf of both sides, to apologize to the fans: For the last see NFL page 14

2 sides come up with 11th hour plans to raise debt ceiling WASHINGTON (AP) — In a fresh outbreak of brinkmanship, first Republicans, then Democrats drafted rival fallback legislation Monday to avert a potentially devastating government default in little more than a week.

President Barack Obama readied a prime-time nationally televised speech on short notice amid the gridlock. One official said he would call for compromise.

The official said Obama would quote Ronald Reagan — a hero to many conservatives — who said during his presidency that failure to raise the debt ceiling would do “incalculable damage.”

Underscoring the dramatic standoff,

several networks agreed to carry rebuttal remarks afterward by House Speaker John Boehner.

Despite warnings to the contrary, U.S. financial markets have appeared to take the political maneuvering in stride — so far.

Wall Street posted losses Monday but with no indication of panic among investors.

Without signed legislation by day’s end on Aug. 2, the Treasury will be unable to pay all its bills, possibly triggering an unprecedented default that officials warn could badly harm a national economy struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

Obama wants legislation that will raise

the nation’s debt limit by at least $2.4 trillion in one vote, enough to avoid a recurrence of the acrimonious current struggle until after the 2012 elections.

Republicans want a two-step process that would require a second vote in the midst of a campaign for control of the White House and both houses of Congress.

There were concessions from both sides embedded in the competing legislation, but they were largely obscured by the partisan rhetoric of the day.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky urged Obama to shift his position rather than “veto the country into see DEBT CEILING page 15

Norway mass murderer tells court he has friends ready to join campaign

OSLO, Norway (AP) — The self-described perpetrator of Norway’s deadly bombing and shooting rampage was ordered held in solitary confinement Monday after calmly telling a court that two other cells of collaborators stood ready to join his murderous campaign.

Anders Behring Breivik, who has admitted bombing the capital and opening fire on a youth group retreat on an island

resort, told authorities he expects to spend the rest of his life in prison. Declaring he wanted to save Europe from “Muslim domination,” he entered a plea of not guilty that will guarantee him future court hearings and opportunities to address the public, even indirectly.

Norway has been stunned by the attacks and riveted by Breivik’s paranoid and disturbing writings. Hundreds thronged the

NYC maid who accused Strauss-Kahn goes public while investigation goes on privately NEW YORK (AP) — She’s on a magazine cover and national television, telling her emotional and explicit story of being sexually attacked by Dominique Strauss-Kahn and pressing for him to be tried.

But while Nafissatou Diallo’s interviews marked a dramatic turn in the public narrative surrounding the case, they may have far less impact on prosecutors’ private investigation and deliberations about whether to keep pursuing her troubled case — a process that seems to be becoming, if anything, more complex as it heads toward an Aug. 1 court date.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to comment on Diallo’s statements and remained mum about its plans Monday, as the hotel housekeeper’s interviews aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and appeared on newsstands in a Newsweek cover story. ABC News planned to broadcast more of its interview on “World News with Diane Sawyer” and “Nightline.”

“I want justice. I want him to go to jail,” Diallo told ABC News.

The former International Monetary Fund leader, who was considered a top contender for France’s presidency, denies the attempted rape and other charges. His lawyers decried Diallo’s interviews Monday as “a desperate distraction” from what prosecutors have said was her history of lies about her background and inconsistencies about her actions right after the alleged attack.

With her interviews, the 32-year-old Guinean immigrant (whose name is pronounced na-feeSAH’-too dee-AH’-loh) ripped off the veil of privacy that authorities had kept around her. Prosecutors have provided her with housing and paid her daily expenses to keep her from the media maelstrom.

She defied prosecutors’ conventional wisdom about accusers and alleged victims speaking publicly before a trial — it’s generally seen as providing defense lawyers a lode of material to mine for contradictions and questions. Her move could widen a rift between prosecutors and their key witness, who hasn’t spoken with them since late June while her lawyer called for a special prosecutor after the district attorney’s office said it had developed doubts about her trustworthiness.

It’s a daring and chancy strategic move for the maid and her lawyers, legal observers said.

“On the one hand, her lawyers felt they needed to up the ante because they feared the DA had lost his resolve,” said Bradley Simon, a Manhattan criminal defense attor-

ney and former federal prosecutor. “On the other hand, this has to make the DA’s office quite unhappy. The more you talk, the more there’s fodder for cross-examination and impeachment. That’s a big problem.”

The interviews also could make the prospect of pursuing the case less attractive to prosecutors simply because defense lawyers could paint her as a publicity-seeker, said Pace Law School professor and former Manhattan assistant prosecutor Bennett L. Gershman. Prosecutors could say, “she’s already trying it in the court of public opinion,” he said.

But however unhappy the DA’s office or however insistent Diallo is that the case should go forward, her now-public account is only one among many elements prosecutors are considering as they determine what to do. Since they told a judge July 1 that her fabrications and inconsistencies had undermined the case, they have been reassessing evidence, analyzing the legal framework surrounding the case and gathering new information.

In one example, prosecutors met last week with a lawyer for a French writer who has accused StraussKahn of trying to rape her in 2003, an allegation Strauss-Kahn denies. While French authorities explore her complaint, Manhattan prosecutors also have asked about speaking with the writer herself, Tristane Banon, a person familiar with the case has said.

It’s unclear whether that will happen, or when.

But with prosecutors still gathering information now, the process might not be complete by Aug. 1.

It may serve DA Cyrus R. Vance Jr. to take his time, said Fordham University School of Law professor Ian Weinstein.

The district attorney “has to be deliberate and be seen as deliberate,” Weinstein said. “What would be the motivation to end it quickly?”

For Strauss-Kahn, of course, there is some motivation to press for an answer on whether on prosecutors plan to pursue the case. But defendants who think a case against them is weak sometimes agree to give prosecutors more time to investigate, on the theory that the more they learn, the more likely they might be to drop the case.

In the meantime, defense lawyers Benjamin Brafman and William W. Taylor denounced Diallo Monday for waging “a media campaign intended to force a prosecutor to pursue charges against an innocent person, an innocent person from whom Ms. Diallo wants money.”

Amy Winehouse autopsy inconclusive; singer’s funeral will be held today LONDON (AP) — An autopsy on singer Amy Winehouse Monday failed to determine what killed the 27-yearold star, leaving fans and family with a weeks-long wait for the results of toxicology tests. Her funeral will be held Tuesday.

A family spokesman said the private funeral “for family and close friends” would be held at an undisclosed time and place.

Winehouse’s devastated parents visited mourners outside her north London home to thank them for their support.

The singer, who had struggled with drug and alcohol abuse for years, was found dead Saturday at home by a member of her security team, who called an ambulance. It arrived too late to save her.

The Metropolitan Police said Monday that a forensic post mortem “did not establish a formal cause of death and we await the results of further toxicology tests.” Those are expected to take two to four weeks.

An inquest into the singer’s death was opened and adjourned at London’s St. Pancras Coroner’s Court.

During the two-minute hearing, an official read out the name, birth date and address of Winehouse, described as “a divorced lady living at Camden Square NW1.”

“She was a singer songwriter at the time of her death and was identified by her family here at St. Pancras this morning,” said coroner’s officer Sharon Duff.

Duff said the scene of Winehouse’s death “was investigated by police and determined non-suspicious.”

In Britain, inquests are held to establish the facts whenever someone dies violently or in unexplained circumstances. Assistant Deputy Coroner Suzanne Greenaway said Winehouse’s inquest would resume on Oct. 26.

The singer’s father, mother and brother visited her home on Monday, stopping to inspect the mounds of bouquets, candles and handwritten notes across the road from the Victorian house.

Her father, Mitch Winehouse, thanked mourners for their tributes.

“I can’t tell you what this means to us — it really is making this a lot easier for us,” he said.

“We’re devastated and I’m speechless but thanks for coming.”

The singer’s mother, Janis, was in tears as she examined the flowers, candles, vodka bottles, flags, drawings and handwritten cards left by neighbors, fans and well-wishers. Many of the offerings expressed the same sentiment: “What a waste.”

“I’ll remember her as a troubled soul,” said fan Ethna Rouse, who brought her 4-year-old son to leave a bouquet. “Like many artists in the world — they are tortured souls, and that’s where the talent comes from.”

The singer had battled her demons in public, too often making headlines for erratic behavior, destructive relationships and abortive performances.

But she was remembered fondly by her neighbors in Camden, the creative but gritty neighborhood where she lived on and off for years.

“She was too young to die and too talented, and too beautiful,” said Peggy Conlon, landlady of the Dublin Castle pub, where Winehouse occasionally stopped for a drink. “She’s sorely missed by everyone, not one person had a bad word to say about that kid.”

Last month, Winehouse canceled her European comeback tour after she swayed and slurred her way through barely recognizable songs in her first show in the Serbian capital, Belgrade.

Booed and jeered off stage, she flew home and her management said she would take time off to recover.

Be hard on the problem and soft on the people There is a common tendency to vilify individuals and groups and to blame them for all the ills of society instead of examining why the ills exist. Blaming is one of those communication blockers that cause people to dig in and to resist change.

For example Gandhi never blamed the British for occupying India.

Instead he saw the culprit as colonialism itself. That’s why he was always polite to the British authorities yet firm in his conviction that the British must cease their occupation of India. His method of nonviolence hurt the system but harmed no person. These days it is usual to find letter writers who demonize immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, teachers, unions, welfare recipients, women who get abortions, socialists, etc. It is as if once these people or groups go away, all our problems will be over. Instead of being hard on the problem and soft on people the opposite often occurs.

Common techniques that are used to avoid critically examining systems are the same ones that shut down communication between individuals and groups. These include sarcasm (ridiculing), insults (putdowns), name-calling (ad hominem attacks), globalizing (over generalizing)), judging (absolutizing) and stating opinion as fact – all of which are currently seen in many letters to the editor. These approaches are used by people because somehow the system failed to teach them the ethic of care, critical thinking, contextualization of problems, active listening ability, a global perspective, abstract reasoning, acceptance of diversity, an understanding of relativity, anger control, self-esteem, courage, open-mindedness and problem-solving. People who do these things are not bad in and of themselves. Instead, they behave in terms of how they have been socialized within the family and the broader culture. Many have led very sheltered lives and have not been exposed to the world and diversity.

Some have been neglected or abused as children and others have been raised by parents who used withdrawal of love to ensure conformity to established family beliefs, i.e., all systemic problems that parenting education, cultural exchanges, balanced media and critical and ethical education could have prevented.

So instead of blaming all teachers for the faults of a few, it is important to look at how systems bring out the worst in teachers and prevent them from doing their jobs as well as they could. At the university level, new assistant professors are required to build a strong portfolio of evidence attesting to teaching excellence, scholarship and service. Before they can apply for promotion and tenure, they have six years to demonstrate that are competent in the classroom,

have published in peer-reviewed journals, have presented workshops at state, national and international conferences and have provided valuable service to the university and community. They are evaluated by course evaluations, peer evaluations, administrator evaluations and self-evaluation. Everything they do must be documented.

One problem that exists for new faculty is that course evaluations often play a major role in promotion and tenure considerations. Thus, if too many low grades are given in a particular class, the professor may get poor course evaluations and not be rehired. This can lead to grade inflation. Since this affects so many new professors, it is a systemic problem that needs solutions. Blaming teachers does not solve the problem.

I know one professor at a private college who was a department chair, had an excellent teaching record, secured many grants for his department and worked long hours often tutoring students outside of class so they could understand the material better. Despite being a tenured, full professor, he was fired without due process for failing a significant number of students in a particular course known for its difficulty – a course that my own son, who always had high grades and who is currently a pharmacist, took at least two or three times before passing.

In the case of public school teachers, an examination of the context of their work uncovers numerous systemic issues that inhibit their ability to do their job. It also is important to understand that no one factor alone is the cause or cure for the ills of American education.

Most of the time, there are multiple causes that require multiple solutions. In some schools class size is too large for teachers to differentiate instruction. Research has shown that this mostly impacts learning at the elementary or foundational level of schooling. Some laws undermine teaching and learning such as No Child Left Behind with its emphasis on testing and de-emphasis on instruction as well as its punitive orientation. This high stakes testing takes away time from teaching and raises anxiety levels in both teachers and students. Some schools have even cheated and changed scores so that they would not be penalized. This is why cheating occurs so much at the service academies like West Point. When so much rests on so little, people get desperate and do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do.

Thus, the system needs to be overhauled so it brings out the best in people.

Other things that undermine achievement include teachers changing grades by pressure from parents, parents taking their children out of see next page

LETTERS I marvel at accomplishments of Esther Peters & Peter Karagianas To the editor, There are so many wonderful dedicated citizens of Laconia who have contributed their time, energy, expertise or money to make improvements that we all benefit from. In my travels, I often encounter two such persons over and over again. I just have to call special attention to them because I marvel at their accomplishments. Both are 95 and yet still very dedicated and active. I hope you have already guessed that I am referring to Esther Peters and Peter Karagianis.

Surely most know of their founding ways to save the Belknap Mill, which is now on the National Register of Historic Buildings and serves us so proudly today. I know of many other areas where one of the other is further involved.

I just happened upon a LRPA-TV documentary, “Clearing the Water”, produced by John Gfroerer and Accompany Video Production which debuted in — guess where — The Belknap Mill on March 13, 2011. Now guess again, what couple were some of the frontrunners of our Lakes Region Clean Waters Association (LRCWA).

Yep, there’s Esther and Peter, whose high hopes don’t let gadfly labels keep them from soaring ahead. Along with Jim Walker, Don Foudriat and others,

the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program replaced a grossly inadequate Laconia Waste Treatment plant and cleaned and protected our lakes.

LRCWA received the first Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) million dollar grant, the EPA’s first Environmental Protection Award and led the entire country in the early days of the environmental movement.

Although I had fled the “sticks” and moved to and lived on Long Island for nearly 40 years, I always came “home” for vacations, often spending time at my sister’s camp on Lake Winnisquam. Like Jim Walker, one summer was so alarming when we found the lake like pea soup with algae for two weeks. I remember it well.

We will have another chance to view this great film documentary, “Clearing the Water”, during a joint meeting of the Laconia Historical & Museum Society and Thompson Ames Society on Monday, October 17 at 7 p.m. in the Laconia Public Library. Jim Walker and Don Foudriat will lead a panel discussion on the film and the LRCWA. Call 527-1278 for more information.

Thank you, Esther Peters and Peter Karagianis!

I would not trade growing up in the era when I did for anything To the editor, I am responding to some letters written in the paper regarding the 50s, 60s and 70s. I am 73 years old and grew up in the 40s up to the present time and I would not change a thing. Granted there were problems but not like today. My aunt used to say she felt bad for our generation growing up. Well, I feel bad for this generation of children growing up today and I need not mention why.

I read nursery rhymes and never thought too much about Hansel and Gretel shoving the bad witch in the oven or the baby falling out of the tree or Humpty Dumpty falling off a wall.

They were a nursery rhymes and you just read them and enjoyed them. We used to go to the store and buy the “N” word babies. That’s what we called them. Never connected the candy

with black people. It was a liquorice candy with sugar on it! Black Sambo was banned. Why. We read it. Again, never connected it with black people.

You have to be taught to be prejudice.

You don’t just come by it.

Times have changed and really, as far as I can see, not for the better. No, I do not like the songs of today because I have no idea what the heck they are singing. I would not give up my growing up in the era when I did for all the money in the world. The Amish have the right idea. It’s a great way to live if you can do it. I probably could except I would need a TV and my youPod. That’s what it will be called by the time I buy one.

Enjoy the summer. Winter is around the corner!

LETTERS Old Clams who did this work for their children need to do it again

Thousands of Americans died for nothing in the ‘Good Old Days’

To the editor, In days long past. Clamshell Alliance and Gov. Thomson faced off and made news. Our state’s major utility was building two 1200-megawatt nuclear plants on New Hampshire’s short stretch of lovely ocean coastline, provoking organized opposition: Clamshell Alliance. Already in existence nearby to Keene and surroundings was Vermont Yankee nuclear plant, on line in 1972 and coming to the end of its licensed time in March, 2012. (Seabrook Unit 1 began operation in 1990.)

Clamshell Alliance‘s website could take visiting now; we need to make sure that the greatly deteriorated Vermont Yankee nuclear plant doesn’t get a renewed license, past its March, 2012, end of license. Vermont Yankee’s 70-mile danger zone (children evacuated, water contaminated) includes much of New Hampshire’s land and population.

To the editor, Derek Morrissette, I remember the so-called “Good Old Days” only too well: two eggs, bacon, toast, coffee for $1 at Friendly’s, gas for 37-cents a gallon, and you could buy a gas hog for under $500. Man, those big cars were a dream — 9-miles to a gallon was the average. A motel was $7 a night.

Everything was wonderful, right?

Derek, the music was great. The music today sucks. Even TV sucks today. We had “Dallas”, “Little House on the Prairie”, “Charley’s Angels”, etc. But it’s all yesterday’s news, sad to say.

The truth is, we had our freaks, just like today. We had Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War. Thousands of Americans died for nothing. We have never learned from our past and today our young men are dying for nothing because of stupid presidents.

We had, in our time, the flower people, free love (sex), weird hippy people, riots, anti-war songs, Wood-

Look also at Beyond Nuclear, Safe and Green, Citizens Awareness Network, and Onkalo — the Finnish waste repository under construction. The documentary about Onkalo, Into Eternity, makes clear that isolation of radioactive waste for 100,000 years is a mind-boggling task. In today’s news I read about a 2000-year-old gold jewelry bell found in Israel, raising awe. I’ve heard on NPR about a 13,000-year-old Ice Age carving of a mastodon, found in Florida, also raising awe. 100,000 years is so many more years than either of these. We shouldn’t be making this nuclear waste.

Old Clams who once did this work for your children, now do it for your grandchildren and beyond. Youngerthan-thats, take up this work for the environment’s safety and for all the children. Time again to form affinity groups and sign up for non-violence training.

I’m impressed with all Meredith Public Library does for children To the editor, I have always used the Meredith Public Library for myself and knew the people who worked there were friendly and helpful. This summer I got to experience what a wonderful job they do for the children of the area.

My four grandchildren are up for the summer from Ohio for the first time.

With ages of 5-12, I wondered what I could do to keep them from being bored.

Seeing the program at the library, I thought it would be good for them. I was very impressed with all they do.

The three older kids did reading for prizes, a class in making jewelry, and there is a painting class, and pizza

and reading evening coming up.

The 5-year-old also get prizes for the time and amount of books I read to her. This had been a joy for me to do. She also attends the weekly story time. We have had stories from North and South America and Europe, crafts and snacks. Tessie Ahlgren, the children’s librarian, tells the stories with such enthusiasm that I was fascinated. What a wonderful time she has.

Thank you to all the people who work so hard for the kids of Meredith and visitors. You made having the grandchildren so much easier for me.

Review what we have been offered for president in last 50 years To the editor, To answer Marc Abear’s question in the July 21 Sun concerning unfit leadership: Most of the people who choose a political career are failures in the real world.

To be certain, there are a few decent, intelligent people who serve in politics today. But I suggest reviewing what we have been offered for president over the

last 50 years. And what is leadership positions today? People calling for highspeed railways and an investment in cutting-edge technology.

Any questions as to why we’re going bankrupt?

Respect is earned, it doesn’t come with the job.

from preceding page school for vacations while school is in session; disrespect from students, parents and the community, low academic achievement motivation by many students; and excessive paperwork and bureaucracy. It’s easy to blame students, parents, teachers and/or unions for individual behaviors instead of looking at what allows or reinforces such behaviors. If we are really interested in high achievement levels for our students, we have to critically examine policies, structures and attitudes that not only give rise to such behaviors but also maintain them.

For example, if unions are a significant cause of low student performance, let’s compare schools that have unions with those that don’t.

That also means looking at what good schools and universities do here

in the U.S. and abroad. For example, why is it that Finland has the highest achievement scores in the world, strong teacher unions and a large number of young Finns who want to be teachers? One may rationalize that this country is small and homogeneous but this is an avoidance tactic.

Of course no one wants to duplicate exactly what someone else is doing but there are principles and practices that can be imported if we are really serious about change. Attacking individuals and groups is not only wasted energy but also it prevents directing energy toward analysis of systems and those problem-solving efforts to bring about needed change.

stock, nudity, streakers . . . even men on the moon. How about that, Derek?

But listen, there is only one hope for America, bring all our troops home to guard our borders. Round up all illegals and ship them back to Mexico and South America. Only buy Madein-America products, drill for oil in America, don’t buy from China, India or any far-east, cheap-junk, nations.

Gas can be much cheaper if we stop buying gas guzzlers. Yes, Derek, we have American cars that can get 40 MPG. It’s time to change. Let’s put a huge tax on gas guzzlers. Only fools would drive them. And the same goes for million dollar boats, etc.

Last, but not least, America was founded by Christian, moral people who built a nation under God. Derek, it’s time to believe for a national revival and that means going all the way back to our Founding Fathers.

Wanting Obama to fail is same as wanting the country to fail To the editor, Unless some of the previous Obama bashers have been out of town or unable to read a newspaper they might have missed the news. The country, after Bush, was in a down spiral nosedive and SOMETHING had to be done to stop it. TARP, under Bush, was working so the next step was the stimulus package. Both packages involved large amounts of money to be invested in the good old USA. What a better place to invest than the good ole USA? I guess those “so-called” patriots

don’t feel that was a good idea. But since they are so ANTI-Obama, they do want him to fail, one termer, etc, somehow I feel calling them patriots just doesn’t cut the mustard. Patriots, even if they disagree with policy, don’t want the country to fail. By wanting Obama to fail is the same as wanting the country to fail. Not patriotic in my book but maybe they would call that fellow in Oslo Norway a patriot too. I guess the book has changed.

LETTERS End these wars and take care of ourselves at home. Let’s bring our boys home now To the editor, The Afghan War is a Scandal. (Part 2 of 3) The values and principles we live by as a nation will be what history will remember America for, not the sophistication or quantity of our weapons — Senate Report on Arms to Iran, May 14, 1976 The boys were hunched over their breakfast at a local Meredith diner criticizing the Afghan drawdown plan.

My buddy said, “ Barak Obama, needs to issue a manifesto setting forth the necessary reasons for our intervention and lengthy stay in Afghanistan.

He claims he is the greatest communicator since Reagan but his strategy in Afghanistan is lacking.”

The plumber said, “This announcement on a gradual withdrawal of troops and Gen. Petraeus named as the next CIA chief is cosmetic.”

We deny that we invaded Afghanistan but claim instead that we are supporting a legitimate government against foreign interference (Russia) and factious opposition (Taliban and al-Quada).

Maybe we are still there to prevent Russia from becoming the dominant power in the region. In the past it was a duel between Russia and Britain for dominance in Central Asia and Afghanistan’s Khyber Pass held the key and it was all called the “Great Game” now broadcast as the “War on Terror”.

a strange mixture of rashness and timidity, brought to a close after suffering and disaster, without much glory attached either to the government which directed, or the great body of troops which waged it. Not one benefit, political or military, was acquired with this war.

Our eventual evacuation of the country resembled the retreat of an army defeated”.

We are now ready to confront the Islamists in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Libya, Oman Bahrain, and Egypt.

NATO troops are up against Aghan tribesmen loyal to whatever tribal Sheik and their powerful tribes are gathering to wreck havoc all over the Middle East .

Islamic militants want to terrorize their governments and we claim it is the al Qaeda militants. Hamid Karzai’s Afghan government is incompetent and incapable.

The government is riff with corruption, brutality, lack of leadership, cronyism and general ineffectiveness that undermines any progress made on the ground.

Assassinations, suicide bombings, roadside bombs, mines and ambushes in this insurgency-ridden land should make the timetable for a drawdown immediate. The poppy harvest is over and the fighting season has arrived. Reports that the Taliban are weakened is hogwash. They are reinfiltrating. Sale of quality hashish and the Kaht trade goes on. Munching on the green leaf gives you a god-like feeling of euphoria.

A new Brown University study reports that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost us $4 trillion U.S. tax payer dollars.

If we follow the Obama drawdown, with approximately 30,000 eventually leaving we are left with 70,000 troops in the field at a cost of $1.2 million each.

The Gardner said, “Heck, this war is costing us $10-billion a month. The dollar’s buying power is less. Man, it is on its way out as an international currency. The dollar’s value against the basket of leading currencies tracked by America’s Federal Reserve has recently been at an all time low. The dollar has lost a quarter of its value in the past five years.” We all agreed that the dollar is depreciating.

America borrows from China and Japan to pay for the wars. If we didn’t have to pay for the wars, we would not have to borrow and increase our debt.

The electrician was excited, he was a former Navy salt, “We should be in a war to win. We should have been in and out of Afghanistan in eight months. We endured lost lives, countless wounded, and many amputees. We have been in the country 10 years and what has changed? Karzai is preparing to change sides. The Afghan women still ware a burqa and are flogged under Sharia law and corruption is rampant.”

The Marine Colonel added, “We attacked the activists or religious fanatics and attempted to guarantee ourselves safety from further 9/11 attacks. We rallied, we told radical Islamists that we confronted them and we showed Western pressure. The Mufti or opponents want to punish us beat us into submission, they want to liberate the entire Middle East society, conservative clerics and other opponents want us out of the Middle East. And the entire Middle East is erupting.”

The electrician in a strong New England accent, thoughtfully said, “It is time to go home. We won the war. We are shrewd and want a strong greenback.

There is no longer a sense of a military crisis that bedeviled is after 9/11. The economy is faltering and there is threat of a second recession. There is faltering growth and down grading of credit-related securities. End these wars and take care of ourselves at home. Bring our boys home now.”

Belmont boat shop owner wants town to enforce zoning ordinance against neighbor

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — The owner of a boat repair and storage business on Route 106 asked selectmen last night to uphold the town’s laws and issue his neighbor a “third strike order” to remove a building partially built on his land.

Henry Dionne, the owner of All Boat Repair told selectmen a Belknap County Superior Court judge had recently ruled in his favor and, since the litigation of the matter was complete, now was the time for Belmont officials to stand behind their own zoning ordinances.

“I want the building gone and I want to put up my fence,” Dionne told selectmen, providing the board with the documentation received last month from Superior court.

Selectmen Chair Jon Pike, who has dealt with the the controversy between Dionne and his neighbor, plumbing contractor Dennis Berwick as both a selectman and as a former member of the Planning Board, told Dionne that he didn’t think the court’s order says the Town of Belmont is responsible for ordering the building removed.

The issue began back in the late 1990s when Berwick poured a cement slab on the portion of his property closest to Dionne’s.

While both men suspected the concert slab, which later became the foundation for a two-story building, was close to the property line, it wasn’t until Dionne was told by the Planning Department he would not be

able to expand his business until the boundary dispute was settled that he paid for a survey and learned Berwick’s building was four feet onto his property.

The two tried to work out a land swap on their own, but Dionne eventually declined to complete it because, in his opinion, the proposed land exchange was unequal.

In an effort to get Dionne to uphold what he thought was verbal legal agreement, Berwick sued Dionne in Belknap County Superior Court but lost the suit and Judge James O’Neill III ordered him to remove the building from Dionne’s property.

“I don’t believe we can enforce that order,” Pike said, suggesting to Dionne that if Berwick doesn’t obey the court order — which did not include a specific date by which the building must be removed — Dionne should return to the court or go to the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department for recourse.

“You should have gotten a date certain,” Pike added.

“I think you’re wrong,” said Dionne.

“I think you should uphold your own laws,” Dionne said, telling the board that Berwick not only built the

building on the wrong property but it was too close to a stream, that Berwick allegedly build a structure bigger that what the building permit allowed and made it partially from concert when it was allegedly supposed to have been all wood.

“It was supposed to be 7 1/2 feet on his land but it is four feet on to mine,” Dionne said.

“Excuse me,” said Pike.

“I recall a time you begged for leniency,” Pike continued, reminding Dionne of the times he and Berwick came together to Planning Board meetings — back in 2009 — asking for the ability to work out the problem between themselves.

At that point, Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin interjected that she knew Berwick had approached the Land Use Planning Office and was attempting to get the permits he needs to remove the building from Dionne’s land.

“We’ll probably soon have a resolution,” she said.

Dionne thanked her for her information and asked if he could be kept informed of the developments because he didn’t want to keep returning to court and incurring legal fees.

NUKE from page 3 “This is a company that has annual revenues in the $11 billion range,” Sorrell said. “I thought they were crying wolf in the preliminary injunction hearing.”

Sorrell said he was encouraged by the judge’s decision, because Murtha refused to issue the prelimi-

nary injunction.

“He said some things in his decision to reinforce what we have believed since the beginning,” he said.

“This is a difficult case for both sides.”

from preceding page ment can regulate the operation of a nuclear reactor.

The state maintains Entergy agreed to abide by a 2006 law that it needed state permission to operate beyond the life of its initial license.

Over the years, Vermont Yankee has had a series of problems that led to concern about its reliability.

Among them was the January 2010 discovery of radioactive tritium leaking from the plant. Tritium, which occurs in nature in tiny amounts and is also a product of nuclear fission, has been linked to cancer if ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin in large amounts.

Tests on a monitoring well later that month showed 70,500 picocuries per liter, more than three times the federal safety standard, which is 20,000 picocuries per liter.

After that, it was revealed that company officials had made misleading statements to state lawmakers and regulators about underground pipes that carried the tritium.

Three months later, a more potent radioactive isotope, strontium-90, was discovered in soil as crews cleaned up the tritium. Strontium has been linked to leukemia and cancer.

In 2007, a cooling tower collapsed, leaving a gaping hole in a pipe that spewed thousands of gallons of water onto a pile of rubble and forced Vermont Yankee’s operators to reduce power temporarily.

A month after the tritium leak was announced, the state Senate voted 26-4 against state relicensing.

Earlier this month, Sorrell’s office determined it would not file criminal charges against Entergy officials for the misstatements about the presence of underground pipes carrying tritium.

State officials maintain the issue is one of reliability, but Entergy claims the state’s concerns are about safety and federal law says safety issues can only be decided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which in March granted the plant a 20-year license extension.

Gilford man who was shot is behind bars again after routine traffic stop on Laconia bypass GILFORD — A Libery Hill man who was indicted last week for two counts of second degree assault after an alleged cocaine-fueled argument on Strafford Street in Laconia in April is back behind bars facing a number of new charges after a routine traffic stop on the Laconia Bypass.

Sgt. James Leach said Tyler Twombly, 26, of Liberty Hill Road was stopped by Gilford Police at 9:15 p.m. Saturday after failing to dim his headlights for oncoming traffic.

Leach said Twombly gave the officer a false name and attempted to conceal a steak knife in his waistband.

Twombly was taken into custody and charged with driving while intoxicated, driving after revocation, disobeying a police office and default or breach of bail conditions.

During the April altercation, Twombly allegedly

punched one man during an early morning argument and then allegedly stabbed another with a steak knife a short time later.

After he allegedly stabbed his second victim, Twombly was shot in the abdomen, allegedly by James McNeil, 29, of 380 Mile Hill Road. McNeil fled from authorities and was arrested in Maine and extradited to New Hampshire last month.

At the time of Twombly’s first appearance in Laconia District Court, he still had the bullet from the shooting lodged in his belly. It is not known if the bullet has been successfully removed.

During his April appearance, Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $50,000 cash bail which was later posted. As a condition of his release on bail, Carroll ordered him to refrain from all use of alcohol and non-prescribed drugs.

NORWAY from page 2 thousands of flowers around the city.

Police believe Breivik, 32, acted alone, despite his grand claims in a 1,500-page manifesto that he belonged to a modern group of crusaders. But they have not completely ruled out that he had accomplices.

Judge Kim Heger ordered Breivik held for eight weeks, including four in isolation, noting his reference to “two more cells within our organization.”

In an interview published Monday, Breivik’s estranged father said he wished his son had killed himself instead of unleashing his rage on innocent people.

The outpouring of emotion stood in stark contrast to what prosecutor Christian Hatlo described as Breivik’s calm demeanor at the hearing, which was closed to the public over security concerns and to prevent a public airing of his extremist views. Hatlo said he “seemed unaffected by what has happened.”

Meanwhile, police revealed they had dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in the shooting spree on Utoya island, lowering the death toll there from 86 to 68. Police spokesman Oystein Maeland said police and rescuers were focused on helping survivors and securing the area, and may

have counted some bodies twice, though he did not immediately explain how the errors occurred.

Police also raised the toll from a bombing outside the government’s headquarters in Oslo from seven to eight.

The sharp reduction in the death toll adds to a list of police missteps: They took 90 minutes to arrive at the island retreat after the first shot and survivors who called emergency services reported being told to stay off the lines unless they were calling about the Oslo bombings.

On Monday, the force revealed its entire Oslo helicopter crew had been sent on vacation and thus couldn’t be mobilized to the scene.

By contrast, Breivik, who donned a police uniform as part of a ruse to draw campers to him, appeared in total control during the island rampage, police official Odd Reidar Humlegaard said.

“He’s been merciless,” Humlegaard said.

Authorities say Breivik used two weapons during the island attack — both bought legally, according to his manifesto. A doctor treating victims told The Associated Press the gunman used illegal “dumdum”-style bullets designed to disintegrate inside the body and cause maximum internal damage.

LIBRARY from page one Monday, August 1 when Mitchell and Fitzgerald will present their arguments. “I feel like a Supreme Court justice,” quipped committee member Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2).

At least since 1975 the City Council has elected the trustees in accordance with an ordinance enacted that year that reads “the City Council shall annually at a regular City Council meeting in March elect two Trustees of the Laconia Public Library to serve for terms of three years.”

However, earlier this year, Mitchell advised the council to amend the City Charter to provide for the popular election of the trustees based on his reading of the relevant state law ( RSA 202-A:8 ) which states that “the trustees of a library in a city shall be elected as provided in the city charter.”

In a letter to members of the Government Operations Committee, Fitzgerald questioned Mitchell’s opinion. He began by suggesting that “election” does not refer exclusively to choices made by popular votes and cited Black’s Law Dictionary, which defines election” as “the act of choosing or selecting one or more from a greater number of persons” and explains “’election’ ordinarily has a reference to a choice or selection by electors, while ‘appointment’ refers to a choice or selection by an individual.”

While Mitchell contended that if the Legislature intended to allow the city council to choose the trustees, it would have used other language, such as appoint rather than elect. By the same token, Fitzgerald countered that had lawmakers sought to require a popular election, they would have done

so. By adding the phrase “as provided in the city charter,” Fitzgerald argued that the Legislature provided “some measure of flexibility for the Council to determine the nature of the election itself.”

Recalling that the City Council has chosen the library trustees for decades, Fitzgerald concluded that “to suddenly determine that the word ‘election’ now has a very different meaning than that which has been commonly understood over the years absent a court decision or legislative enactment seems unusual at best.”

Furthermore, Fitzgerald noted that the process for choosing the library trustees mirrors that of stocking other municipal boards and commissions with the sole exceptions of the Police Commission and the School Board, which are elected by popular ballot according to state law. Likewise, he pointed out that library trustees are not popularly elected but selected by city councils in eight of the other 13 cities in New Hampshire.

FESTIVAL from page one three of whom subsequently resigned.

Items offered for sale at the auction included portraits and furniture from the original owners of the summer estate property, a wealthy Boston area family, as well as from the days that what has been known in recent years as the Festival House building was operated by Belknap College, from the early 1960s until 1975, and its later reincarnation as the Red Hill Inn from the mid-1980s until 2000, when it was acquired by the Music Festival as its new home.

Sunday’s auction, conducted by F.D. Peverly and Sons, attracted nearly 200 people, many of whom were curious onlookers, and featured some spirited bidding for a number of Sterling silver and art glass items, as well as for a Steinway grand piano, along with rock bottom prices for a pieces of old furniture and other items.

One Sterling silver tea set went for $2,750 in the early bidding, while a Sterling silver flatware set

fetched $1,100.

Maureen Kalfas, owner of antique store in Alton who has been in the antiques business for 40 years, was the successful bidder at $1,000 for a china tea set, which she said was well worth that price because the set features lace edges, an intricate cut out border, and had the virtue of being complete.

“It has both the tea pot and the coffee pot, which is rare and makes it more valuable,’’ said Kalfas.

She said that she won’t be reselling it locally but will be taking it to a large show in North Carolina, where she knows there will be buyers who will meet her price.

“There’s no market around here for anything.

But I’ve been at the Carolina show for 28 years and 90-percent of my sales there are to repeat customers,’’ said Kalfas, who says that she attends as many as 50 auctions a year and is an active bidder mainly for silver, gold and coins.

She said that there was some sentiment attached to auction as her husband, Nick, a child psychologist, had attended Belknap College in the 1970s.

After 40 years in the antique she says that she just can’t seem to let go of what has been a lifelong passion.

“Every day I think I’m going to quit. But then I don’t know what I’d do without it,’’ she said.

Another active bidder was Miki Exford, a Franklin antique dealer, who has also been making her living in the antiques trade for 40 years. She was buying many of the old wide angle photos from the 19th century, many of them of military groups, as well as looking for glass and other items for resale.

But she wasn’t buying them for her business.

“I’m buying them for Charlie St. Clair at the Laconia Antiques Center,’’ said Exford.

Individual collectors like Paul Clark, a retired business owner from Moultonborough and Florida, were also active.

He bought four Tiffany glass items, including one which went for $650.

“My wife and I collect these. I think they’re real works of art,’’ said Clark.

Auctioneer Gregg Peverly kept the bidders and onlookers entertained with his banter and quick wit, encouraging bidders after no see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, July 26, 2011— Page 13

MEDICAID from page one of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to reduce reimbursement rates paid to hospitals for treating Medicaid patients solely for budgetary reasons.

In effect, the suit claims that the state has effectively abandoned its obligations under the Medicaid program by failing to provide funding “consistent with efficiency, economy, and quality of care are sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available under the plan” as prescribed by the Medicaid Act. The hospitals further allege that in adjusting reimbursement rates, the state has failed to consider the circumstances of the hospitals and to provide the hospitals and the public an opportunity to comment on the proposals contrary to federal law.

In the budget, lawmakers not only sustained earlier reductions in reimbursement rates —since 2008 the lowest in the country — but also drastically changed the rules of the Medicaid program. The budget eliminates annual payments for uncompensated care to the 10 hospitals. In addition, the state will keep the proceeds from the Medicaid Enhancement Tax (MET), levied at 5.5-percent of hospital revenues, which for 20 years were refunded to the hospitals as part of “Mediscam,” the ploy that has leveraged $1.8-billion in federal matching funds for the state.

In an affidavit filed with the court, Henry Lipman, senior vice-president and chief financial officer of LRGHealthcare, calculated that the Laconia-based nonprofit would not be reimbursed for treating Medicaid patients but instead would incur $19.2-million in annual uncompensated costs.The projected from preceding page after no one had responded to his suggested opening bid by saying, “Go ahead and make an offer. You can’t hurt my feelings.’’

At another point, when an active bidder for a piece of furniture appeared ready to drop out after his wife had whispered something to him, Peverly quipped, “Go ahead and bid. Don’t listen to her, she doesn’t know anything about bookcases.’’

The Steinway piano started off at $1,000 and went eventually to $4,500 to Pat Guevin, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker who has listed the music festival property for sale.

Her husband, Lou was also a successful bidder.

When no one offered a bid on an artist’s rendering of what the music festival property would have looked like with its new concert hall, he bid $10.

Guevin said he would give the rendering to the music festival for its archives.

shortfall follows on $32.8-million in unreimbursed costs for Medicaid services sustained by LRGH between 2006 and 2010. “This is not sustainable for this health care charitable trust’s viability,” he concluded.

Altogether the 10 hospitals would forgo $131.4-million in payments for uncompensated care and pay $134.7-million in MET, representing an aggregate annual revenue loss of $266.1-million. “Because the state is relying exclusively on the proceeds from the MET to fund its entire Medicaid program,” Lipman explained, “this budget effectively shifts more than 100-percent of the costs for delivering Medicaid services to New Hampshire hospitals.”

“We are in a new reality,” Clairmont said. “We have been trying to pull all the efficiencies we can out of the system. This has been ongoing and will continue.”

However, like its counterparts, the directors of LRGHealthcare have identified several measures it will pursue if it must absorb another round of “unprecedented increases in costs.” Physician practices would be closed to some 1,400 new Medicaid patients along with another 1,000 Medicaid eligible and HealthLink patients per year. Elective procedures and program enrollments, including surgical procedures, laboratory tests and imaging services as well as rehabilitation and chemical dependency programs would be denied or deferred to some 2,000 Medicaid patients and an equal number of Medicaid eligible and HealhLink patients. Finally, LRGH would withdraw from the New Hampshire Health Access Network, which provides for the exchange of charity patients among hospitals.

Lipman said that according to the “New Hampshire Medicaid Annual Report, 2009” there are more than 9,200 people enrolled in the Medicaid program in LRGHealthcare’s catchment area, representing 12-percent of the population of Laconia and 15-percent of the population of Franklin. “Cuts, changes or limitations on Medicaid services will directly affect this population,” he found.

“We will look different,” Clairmont remarked. “We will be here for the community, but the services will not be as available as they have been in the past.”

Stuart Trachy, chairman of the board of directors of LRGHealthcare, said “I’m disheartened to see that all of the successes and advances we’ve made in making health care accessible to all are now certainly in question. Hopefully we won’t have to take these steps. But, I’m very disappointed that we have to consider them.”

from preceding page nine hospitals could also adversely affect patients served by LRGHealthcare. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is considering suspending or closing the neonatal intensive care unit at the Children’s Hospital as well as its helicopter rescue service.

Exeter Health Resources, Inc. is eying the state’s only sub-acute rehabilitative care facility that accepts long-term ventilator-dependent patients.

“It is a statewide problem,” said Dr. Paul Racicot, who oversees emergency medical services at LRGH. Clairmont noted that the federal health care reform law projects adding 50,000 patients to the Medicaid rolls in New Hampshire and the LegisNFL from page 2 five, six months we’ve been talking about the business of football — and not what goes on, on the field, and building the teams in each market,” Kraft said.

“But the end result is we’ve been able to have an agreement that I think is going to allow this sport to flourish over the next decade.”

Owners can point to victories, such as gaining a higher percentage of all revenue, one of the central issues — they get 53 percent, players 47 percent; the old deal was closer to 50-50. There’s also a new system that will rein in spending on contracts for first-round draft picks.

Players, meanwhile, persuaded teams to commit to spending nearly all of their salary cap space in cash and won changes to offseason and in-season practice rules that should make the game safer.

One important compromise came on expanding the regular season from 16 to 18 games, which owners favored. That can be revisited for the 2013 season, but players must approve any change.

“Both parties were trying to stand their ground — and rightfully so,” said Vikings linebacker Ben Leber, one of the 10 named plaintiffs in the players’ antitrust suit against the league that will not be dropped. “In the end, against all the negativity that was out there publicly, they took their time and hammered out what I think is going to turn out to be one of the best deals in the history of sports.”

An interesting choice of phrase, given that Smith and some players grew fond of calling the owners’ last offer before talks fell apart in March “probably the worst deal in sports history.”

Here was Smith’s take Monday: “We didn’t get everything that either side wanted ... but we did arrive at a deal that we think is fair and balanced.”

Now comes frenzied football activity, starting immediately. Club facilities will open to players Tuesday, when 2011 draft picks and rookie free agents can be signed, and teams can begin talking to veteran free agents. Training camps for some teams may begin as soon as Wednesday.

“Chaos,” said Jets fullback Tony Richardson, a member of the NFLPA’s executive committee.

“That’s the best word for it.”

lature anticipates introducing managed care for Medicaid patients. “At this rate there will be no foundation to build on. We’ve lost our way,” he said.

LRGH is joined by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center of Lebanon, Elliot Health System of Manchester, Catholic Medical Center of Manchester, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital of Dover, Exeter Health Resources, Inc. of Exeter, Southern New Hampshire Medical Center of Nashua, St. Joseph Hospital of Nashua, Cheshire Medical Center of Keene, and Frisbie Memorial of Rochester — all represented by Nixon Peabody, LLP. Concord Hospital did not sue.

Only one exhibition game was lost: the Hall of Fame opener between the Bears and Rams, scheduled for Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.

Otherwise, the entire preseason and regular-season schedules remain intact.

“Our players can’t be more excited about going back to doing the thing they love the most,” NFLPA president Kevin Mawae said. “We always said during this process we would do a deal when it’s right and when it’s the right deal. Our players did that. We stuck it out to the end.”

When Saturday spoke to reporters, he offered an eloquent tribute to Kraft, lauding him as “a man who helped us save football,” and to Kraft’s wife, Myra, who died Wednesday from cancer.

“A special thanks to Myra Kraft, who even in her weakest moment allowed Mr. Kraft to come and fight this out,” Saturday said. “Without him, this deal does not get done.”

Kraft, meanwhile, took a verbal jab at the nearby White House and Congress, saying: “I hope we gave a little lesson to the people in Washington, because the debt crisis is a lot easier to fix than this deal was.”

Owners overwhelmingly approved a proposal to end the dispute Thursday, but some unresolved issues needed to be reviewed to satisfy players. The sides worked through the weekend and wrapped up nearly every detail by about 3 a.m. Monday on a final pact that runs through the 2020 season and can’t be terminated before then.

That’s significant because the old collective bargaining agreement contained an opt-out clause, and owners exercised it in 2008. That led to the contract expiring when talks broke down March 11; hours later, owners locked out the players, creating the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987 — and longest in league history.

“I know it has been a very long process since the day we stood here that night in March,” Smith said in a brief appearance about 20 minutes before being joined by Goodell and three owners. “But our guys stood together when nobody thought we would. And football is back because of it.”

DEBT CEILING from page 2 default.”

And Reid jabbed at tea party-backed Republicans who make up a significant portion of the House GOP rank and file. The Nevada Democrat warned against allowing “these extremists” to dictate the country’s course.

The measure Boehner and the GOP leadership drafted in the House called for spending cuts and an increase in the debt limit to tide the Treasury over until sometime next year. A second increase in borrowing authority would hinge on approval of additional spending cuts sometime during the election year.

Across the Capitol, Reid wrote legislation that drew the president’s backing, praise from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi — and criticism from Republicans.

By design or not, the two sides’ harsh remarks obscured concessions that narrowed the differences among the nation’s political leaders as they groped for a way to resolve the economic crisis.

With their revised plan, House Republicans backed off an earlier insistence on $6 trillion in spending cuts to raise the debt limit.

And Obama jettisoned his longstanding call for increased government revenues as part of any deficit reduction plan.

Pending the president’s televised speech, the White House also declined repeatedly to say whether Obama would veto the revised House measure.

White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer called the proposal “not a serious attempt to avert default because it has no chance of passing the Senate.”

Not all Republicans were happy with their leadership’s decision to scale back legislation that had cleared the House last week, only to die in the Senate.

Among House conservatives who have provided the political muscle for the Republican drive to cut spending, the revised legislation was a disappointment. “I cannot support the plan,” said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, one of the leading advocates of legislation that cleared the House last week and died in the Senate.

But two rank-and-file Republicans said their constituents were voicing concerns other than the rising federal debt.

Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., said his office is getting calls from constituents saying, “If I don’t get my Social Security check, it’s your fault.”

Rep. Tom Reed, a New York freshman, said many of his constituents are telling him to stand firm in his drive to cut spending. “But I will admit there’s some anxiety in the district” about Social Security and other programs, he added.

As Boehner readied his legislation, Senate Democratic leaders called a news conference to announce their own next steps.

The Democrats’ measure would cut $2.7 trillion in federal spending and raise the debt limit by $2.4 trillion in one step — enough borrowing authority to meet Obama’s bottom-line demand.

The cuts include $1.2 trillion from across a range of hundreds of government programs and $1 trillion in savings assumed to derive from the end of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

BEAR from page 2 skills without adults around.

Authorities believe the bear was aggressive because it was with its cub. Gottsegen said no one ever saw a cub.

The group was hiking through bushes that got so thick they decided to wade through a river, walking in single file. Around a bend in the river, Joshua Berg, 17, of New City, N.Y., began yelling “Bear!

Bear!”

The bear took him down first. The animal made angry, snarling noises as it attacked, Gottsegen told The Associated Press from his hospital bed in Anchorage, recounting the attack.

It was so sudden. There was no time to pull out their bear deterrent spray and no one had a gun. Berg, badly wounded, called for someone to set off the personal locator beacon they carried for emergencies.

Gottsegen said everyone scattered and he ran, even though the students had been told to play dead.

His instincts wouldn’t let him, though.

“When I heard that bear, when I saw it, it was all just like natural instincts,” he said. “All night long I was thinking I should have played dead.”

He kicked at the grizzly, to no avail.

Then the bear struck him, biting him on the head, lashing out at the teen’s arms and chest, puncturing a lung and breaking two ribs. The attack on the group probably lasted less than a minute, he said.

After it was over, it started raining.

The teens set up a camp and tended to the injured, making good use of their survival skills. They plugged a deep wound in Gottsegen’s torso with a plastic trash bag secured with an Ace bandage.

They also activated the beacon.

Patricia Allaire, the mother of another injured student, Noah Allaire, 16, of Albuquerque, N.M., said her son initially tried to activate the beacon, thinking the bear was gone, but then it struck again.

The bear thrashed the teen’s head and back and slightly puncturing a lung. He was listed in good condition Monday at a hospital.

Authorities received the signal around 9:30 p.m.

Saturday, and dispatched rescuers.

A trooper and pilot in a helicopter located the students in a tent shortly before 3 a.m. They decided the two most seriously injured would need a medical transport aircraft.

The trooper and another student stayed with the badly injured teens for a couple hours until more rescuers arrived in a specially equipped helicopter, Gottsegen said.

The uninjured student who remained was 16-yearold Samuel Boas of Westport, Conn.

Boas has training as an emergency medical technician, said Bruce Palmer, the spokesman for the National Outdoor Leadership School, a Lander, Wyo.based organization that leads many such excursions.

The group operated the backcountry training course.

The other students injured were Victor Martin, 18, of Richmond, Calif., who was treated at a hospital for a bite wound above his ankle and then released, according to Palmer.

The teens were in the 24th day of their course when the attack occurred. Gottsegen said they had been calling out to alert bears of human presence as they traveled.

Berg remained in serious condition Monday, while Gottsegen was upgraded to good from serious.

WU from page 2 Those problems paled compared to the potential fallout from the encounter with the young California woman. Citing anonymous sources, The Oregonian reported that Wu told senior aides that the sexual encounter was consensual. The Portland paper reported Facebook notes indicated she graduated from high school in 2010 and that she registered to vote in California last August.

The paper said the woman decided not to press charges against Wu because there were no witnesses

and it would have been her word against Wu’s.

The heart of the 1st Congressional District is Washington County, a center of high tech and suburban development and the home of David Robinson, a former Navy officer and municipal official who lost by a margin of 4-1 to Wu in the Democratic primary last year.

In 2004, Wu won re-election in spite of acknowledging a decades-old college incident in which he tried to force a former girlfriend to have sex. Voters said they disliked an opponent’s attempt to use that against Wu.

‘Granite Grumblings’ author to share humorous observations about New Hampshire at Taylor Community

LACONIA — Humorist, essayist, and author Glenn Currie will share humorous stories and observations about life in New Hampshire at a free presentation at the Taylor Community Woodside Building at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 28.

Currie entertains his readers and audiences with funny, sometimes off-the-wall stories and opinions.

Beloved author and storyteller Rebecca Rule had this to say about Currie: “Whether he’s talking about his wife’s $143 tomato or the incompetence of winter drivers, Glenn Currie finds the art in the good-natured rant. He reflects. He appreciates. He slices and dices.

And he makes us smile in recognition.”

Currie graduated with highest distinction from Dartmouth College in 1965. After serving in the U.S. Navy and then working in corporate America, he and his family returned to New Hampshire where they have lived since 1986. In addition to his popularity as a speaker and presenter, Currie has entertained readers with his articles in the Concord Monitor, New Hampshire Magazine, and five books including his latest, “Granite Grumblings.”

This session is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. R.S.V.P. by calling 524-5600 or visit www.taylorcommunity.org for more information.

Mid-State Health Center of Plymouth selected as recipient of Harvard Pilgrim’s grant program PLYMOUTH — Mid-State Health Center has been selected as one of 14 recipients of Harvard Pilgrim’s Quality Grants Program in support of the PACT (Patients Are Central to the Team) Project.

The overarching goal of PACT is to engage patients in playing a central role in their healthcare team by promoting increased patient and caregiver involvement in goal setting and care planning. Mid-State Quality Assurance coordinator Peggy Rosen will lead the way as the organization capitalizes on the opportunity to bring patient care to the next level.

“This year, Harvard Pilgrim’s Quality Grants Program is supporting the Patient-Centered Medical Home, an emerging care delivery model that has already been shown to lead to less fragmentation and improved clinical outcomes,” said Dr. Michael Sherman, Harvard Pilgrim’s chief medical officer and senior vice president. “The grant recipients are transforming how primary care practices operate and have an opportunity to drive improvements that can positively impact not only Harvard Pilgrim members but all of their patients.”

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, July 26, 2011— Page 19

“Mid-State is engaging its patients and their families in becoming part of the care team that makes care decisions. Patients and their caregivers will be encouraged to decide the best way to treat their illness or disease; it promotes better wellness overall,” said Dr. Fred Kelsey, Mid-State Health Center’s medical director.

In the Patient Centered Medical Home approach, care teams attend to the multi-faceted needs of patients and provide “whole person,” comprehensive and coordinated patient-centered care. The needs and desires of the patient come first in an environment where patients have a collaborative relationship with their primary care physician and care team.

Mid-State Health Center delivers primary care and supportive services at both its Bristol and Plymouth offices offering medical services, behavioral health counseling, and care management to all ages. For more information, call 536-4000 or visit www.midstatehealth.org.

NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Carell is not going through Michael Scott withdrawal — at least not yet.

“I don’t sit at home and think of ‘that’s what she said’ jokes and wish that I could do them one more time,” says the actor, laughing. “But it’s only been a few months, too, so I haven’t really had any time. All of that is still fresh to me.”

Carell’s sendoff from “The Office” (for which he received a parting Emmy nomination) is still fresh in many viewers’ minds, too. The emotional hubbub over his exit after seven seasons caught Carell by surprise. He was flattered, he says, but, with typical humility, considers it “just an actor leaving a show.”

He moved on to spend more time with his family (wife and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Nancy Ellen Walls and their two children) and to expand the movie career he had previously squeezed into summer breaks from shooting the hit NBC comedy.

The first glimpse of Carell’s post”Office” days is “Crazy Stupid Love,” an ensemble romantic comedy in which he stars and that he produced.

“It is sort of a new phase,” Carell said in a recent interview at the RitzCarlton. “We’ll see how it goes. It’s just, just started. You’re witnessing day one of the new phase. So far so good.”

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in the mood to do an inventory of your material possessions. The mood strikes because you’re getting ready to change things -- to let go of the old and acquire something new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Many people never dream of far-off places, preferring to stick close to all that is known of the world. You are not like “many people.” No matter what you know of the world, you yearn to know more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You have a talent for managing a large group. You might even be in charge of feeding a crowd in the near future, and you will alleviate future stress by getting a lot of the planning done now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Delving into the far reaches of your material possessions will reconnect you with your past. There’s so much memorabilia in your closet, garage or storage area that you could make a museum out of it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You strive to create an atmosphere of ease around you. You are very perceptive now, too, so you’ll notice when someone is uncomfortable, and you’ll try to help.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 26).

Loved ones make you proud as they reflect your values and credit you for their victories. January starts a positive turn of events in your love life. You’ll be influenced and helped by a powerful man in November. You’ll find a clever way to rearrange your finances in 2012 and afford something you’ve wanted.

Aries and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 50, 21 and 15.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may have so much deskwork to do that exercising your body seems like something that could only happen in your fantasy life. And until you change your priorities, that may be the case.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The people in your environment now may not be related, but they sure act as though they are. They fight and boss each other around like siblings. You’ll play the parent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many people witness the same event, and each one will remember it differently.

You are paying close attention to the nuances of human interaction, so your version will be the most accurate recollection.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you’re happier observing the goings on instead of participating in them. Both roles are necessary and useful, so go with what you feel. You have a right to interact in your preferred mode.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll encounter someone who wants to stand over your shoulder and comment on everything you do. If you can get past his or her annoying ways, you will find that this person actually has valid input.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have stories to tell about the memorable events of the past four months. And you’ll be around people who will benefit from hearing your retelling of recent history.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re a master at conflict resolution -- in theory.

It’s easy to see what others need to do in order to get along. Apply the same objectivity to your own scene, and you’ll have the ticket to happiness.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My son and I, on pretty substantial evidence, believe that my grandson is not only doing drugs but selling them, and was also selling his 14-year-old sister to his friends for sex.

My grandson is 19. His father threw him out of the house, and he left without taking any clothes or other belongings. He says he doesn’t need them.

These are both loved children who went to a religious grade school. But once they attended a public high school, somehow things went terribly wrong. My granddaughter is beautiful and bright, but is now sullen and uncommunicative. We all believed these kids were sweet, loving and good, and are stunned and heartsick. They have already been to a counselor. What else can we do? -- Worried Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Please don’t blame the high school.

Plenty of kids attend public schools, and they don’t turn out like your grandson.

There’s not much you can do about a legal adult who no longer lives at home. His parents can report his drug and sextrade business to the police if they so choose. Or they can urge him to get into rehab, although he doesn’t seem ready to make changes. Your granddaughter, however, should continue with her counseling. She may wish to press charges against her brother. She has been sexually abused and will need ongoing help. Suggest to your son that he contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE (1-800-656-4673).

Dear Annie: We recently received a wedding invitation for a relative on my wife’s side, and it was addressed to “The Smith Family.” It is being held at a rather upscale location, but is within driving distance.

Besides the two children we have together, I have teenage children from my first marriage. Is it safe to assume they are included as guests? -- Just Wondering

Dear Just: If the teenage children live with you, chances are they are included. But it’s never safe to make assumptions like these. Call the bride’s family and ask.

Dear Annie: “Help” said his adult daughter and wife were “enmeshed” and he was tired of the daughter’s never-ending phone calls. You didn’t have much sympathy and urged him to leave it alone.

Maybe that was the best response, but shouldn’t there be some limit to the time one’s spouse spends talking on the phone, especially if it is sapping the life out of the marriage?

My wife, “Doris,” is close to her mother and sister -- too close if you ask me. They both call multiple times a day, and Doris never fails to answer. She says “it’s not polite” or “it might be an emergency.” Add in the occasional call from other family members and friends, and Doris is on the phone at least five hours a day and longer on weekends. Calls are rarely shorter than 30 minutes. As a result, I am lucky to get five minutes of uninterrupted time with her.

I can’t tell you how many conversations, family dinners, vacations, walks and, yes, lovemaking sessions have been spoiled by incoming phone calls. We haven’t watched a TV show together for years because I got tired of taking four hours to get through a two-hour movie. I spend most of my time doing things on my own while Doris yaks.

I’ve proposed every compromise I can think of, but realized long ago that nothing was going to change. Doris is the sweetest person I know, and I won’t leave her over this. But had I known this was going to be my life, I never would have married her. -- Always on Hold Dear Always: It’s too bad Doris doesn’t realize the damage she has done to your relationship. Show her this letter -- or better yet, call her.

Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) 2011 Valedictorian Ashley Heath (left) proudly displays the #1 designation on her cap following the 42nd Commencement Ceremony at Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center recently.

Jokingly, her best friend, LRCC honors graduate Desirae Vaillancourt (right), expresses dissatisfaction not graduating #1 in the class by declaring her “Princess” status. Both were Accounting majors, Heath with a concentration in Business and Vaillancourt with a concentration in Computer Technologies.

Heath earned a near perfect 3.91 cumulative grade point average
