LRGHealthcare has only one ‘traveler’on staff

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Suzanne Stiles, senior vice-president for Administrative and Support Services at LRGHealthcare said yesterday that the organization currently employs only one contract worker.

Hospital staffing practices have come under a bright light with allegations that a medical technician at Exeter Hospital stole drugs and contaminated syringes that were later used on patients. At least 30 former patients have since been diagnosed see LRGH page 10

Belknap commissioners want to make sure Laconia’s in driver’s seat before saying ‘no’ to state’s offer of State School property

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Belknap County Commission has put off a decision on whether it will take up the state’s offer to purchase the former Laconia State School property for $1,760,000 until it hears more from the City of Laconia about why it is confident that it will be able to acquire the property.

Commissioners agreed that they wanted to see the the city’s name on the deed and are supportive of the city’s effort, but Chairman Ed Philpot of Laconia said that he was ‘’not confident in the process after we say no.’’

The county has until August 15 to accept the state’s offer, which was made in a July 9 letter from the state’s Department of Administrative Services (DAS) and which

is $400,000 less than the city offered to pay for the property earlier this year.

According to legislation enacted in 2011, if the county declines the offer, the property will be listed on the open market and sold for not less than its fair market value. Mike Connor, director of the plant and property division of the DAS, said that he would engage a redevelopment see STATE SCHOOL page 6

11-year-old English boy gets to Rome without a ticket or a passport

LONDON (AP) — The 11-year-old boy didn’t have a passport, didn’t have a ticket, didn’t have a boarding pass, and got all the way from England to Italy on his own.

For him, the 1,000mile (1,700-kilometer) journey was a great adventure — and his excitement led to his discovery.

“He was chatting away about being off by himself,” and passengers alerted the cabin crew, Russell Craig, a spokesman for Manchester Airport, said Wednesday.

The boy, who is known to be fascinated by transport and has a history of catching free rides on trains and buses, was sent back to Manchester on the return flight, Craig said.

For the airport, airline Jet2.com and the British government, Tuesday’s incident was an embarrassing breach of security days before the start of the Olympics.

Cal Ripken’ mom kidnapped for a day, now safe ABERDEEN, Md. (AP) — Cal Ripken Jr.’s 74-year-old mother was found with her hands bound in the back seat of her car Wednesday after she said she was kidnapped at gunpoint a day earlier at her home outside Baltimore and driven around blindfolded by her abductor, police and neighbors said.

Investigators do not know the kidnapper’s motive and there was no ransom demand for Vi Ripken’s release, Aberdeen

Police Chief Henry Trabert said at a news conference.

The gunman forced Ripken into her silver Lincoln Continental between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Tuesday, police said. She was found bound and unharmed but shaken about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday near her home in Aberdeen, about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore.

When asked if police believe the kidnapper knew who he was abducting, Trabert

did not answer, saying investigators don’t know the motive or if the suspect has any ties to the Ripken family.

A next-door neighbor said Vi Ripken told him her kidnapper didn’t seem to know that her son was the Hall of Fame infielder nicknamed “Iron Man” for playing in 2,632 consecutive games during his 21-year career with the Baltimore.

Gus Kowalewski said he spoke with Vi see KIDNAPPED page 10

DENVER (AP) — Some of the victims fighting for their lives after being wounded in the movie-theater shooting rampage may face another challenge when they get out of the hospital: enormous medical bills without the benefit of health insurance.

Members of the public, along with Warner Bros., the studio that released the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises,” have contributed nearly $2 million to help victims, though it’s not clear how much of that will cover medical expenses. One

family is raising money on its own online.

And three of the five hospitals that treated victims said Wednesday they will limit or completely wipe out medical bills.

Some of the victims, however, still face a long recovery ahead and the associated medical costs — without health insurance.

There’s no exact count of how many of them don’t have insurance but statistics suggest many of them might not be covered.

Nearly one in three Coloradans, or about 1.5 million, either have no health insur-

ance or have coverage that is inadequate, according to a 2011 report by The Colorado Trust, a health care advocacy group.

The highest uninsured rate was among adults between 18 and 34 and many of those injured in the shootings are in that age group.

State officials said they are not sure whether any of the victims qualify for emergency Medicaid assistance available to needy patients. Victims could also get see BILLS page 13

EXETER (AP) — Exeter Hospital says about 3,400 former patients are being asked to get tested for hepatitis C following a recent outbreak, which is far fewer than state officials had indicated.

The state’s public health director said Tuesday testing was being recommended

for roughly 6,000 people who underwent surgery at the hospital or were admitted to its intensive care unit between April 1, 2011 and May, 25, 2012, when a man suspected of causing the outbreak in the cardiac catheterization lab was employed. But Exeter Hospital said the number is closer

to 4,800, and once duplicates and patients who’ve already been tested are removed, the total is about 3,400.

A former technician in the cardiac lab, David Kwiatkowski, has been accused of stealing drugs and contaminating syringes that were used on patients.

Page 4 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, July 26, 2012

Pat Buchanan

Does Obama really understand America?

If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Mitt Romney fell on this Obama quote like an NFL lineman on an end zone fumble during the Super Bowl. And understandably so. For this was no gaffe, said Romney, this is what Obama believes. This is straight out of the catechism. Obama thinks that had not the government created the preconditions, none of us could succeed.

We all depend on government. None of us can make it on our own.

Had Obama been channeling Isaac Newton — “If I have seen further than others it is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants” — or John Donne — “No man is an island, entire of itself” — many would have nodded in agreement.

But what Obama seemed to be saying — indeed, was saying — was that, without government, no business can succeed.

Realizing that statement rubs against a deeply ingrained American belief — that the people built the nation — Obama and his acolytes are charging that Romney ripped his words out of context.

Here is Obama’s full quote: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.

There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made it happen.”

Even with this preamble, Romney seems to have it right. Obama sees government as indispensable. Without the roads and bridges that government builds, without the teachers government provides, no one succeeds. It takes a village.

Yet Obama’s narrative does not tell us why some succeed and others fail. Does Obama understand America? For he surely does not seem to understand her history as once taught to every schoolchild.

From Jamestown in 1607 to Yorktown in 1781, there was no federal government. There was no United States. Yet generations of colonists had built forts, cleared lands, created farms, established workshops.

Americans fed, clothed and housed themselves, creating one of the highest standards of living on earth for 3-million people.

How could the U.S. government have built the roads and bridges if the U.S. government did not exist before 1789? There were no public schools until the 19th century. Colleges were the creations of religious denominations. The Pell grant had not yet been invented.

Was government indispensable to Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin, Robert Fulton’s invention of the steam boat, Alexander

Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone, Guglielmo Marconi’s invention of the radio and Thomas Edison’s invention of the light bulb, and just about everything else?

Did Wilbur and Orville Wright learn how to build bicycles in a CETA program? Were the feds responsible for the flight at Kitty Hawk?

Seeing government as antecedent to enterprise, Obama has it backward.

In America, individuals, families, communities came first. Hardworking men and women built the society. Only after that did they send their best and brightest off to the House of Burgesses to discuss colonial issues.

The Founding Fathers who created the U.S. government were deeply distrustful of the centralized power Obama seems to worship.

They had had enough of the beneficent big government of George III. Obama notwithstanding, government does not create wealth.

Government collects wealth, redistributes wealth, consumes wealth.

Even when government “builds” something like a Golden Gate Bridge, it does not really build it. It commissions it. Architects, engineers and construction companies build the bridge, not bureaucrats from HUD. As Arthur Herman writes in “Freedom’s Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War Two,” FDR immediately turned to GM’s Big Bill Knudsen to corral the leaders of American industry to stop making Fords, Packards, Lincolns and Chryslers, and start making jeeps, tanks, guns and aircraft engines.

“Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon,” said Winston Churchill.

Obama belongs to category two.

But perhaps he cannot be blamed for not understanding the real America. His mother and father, his role models like Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky, his neighbors like Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, all came out of the anti-capitalist left.

From academia to community organizing to an Illinois legislature that milked so much money from the people the state may beat Jerry Brown’s California into bankruptcy — Obama’s life has been spent in tax-exempt, tax-subsidized and taxsupported institutions.

Yet this Obama-Romney collision frames the great issue of 2012.

Which is the true creator of wealth and engine of prosperity? Is it, as Obama believes, government? Or is it, as Romney believes, people and their institutions and businesses that, though carrying the immense burden of government that consumes 37-percent of the economy, still employs six of seven Americans still working? That’s the choice.

LETTERS This is my story; I’m still wondering how government helped?

To the editor, According to our national idiot-inchief, none of us ever succeeded at anything without government doing most, or all of what was done! For ONCE I believe Obama has gotten it correct, for describing ONLY Obama!

As for me, my first success was sent

by God: SNOW, which I shoveled off the neighbor’s walks and drives, and was very happy to get paid 25-cents per hour, which paid for material for my model airplanes (start of career in aerodynamics). Mom and dad provided LOVE, food and shelter: much of the food mom grew in our garden (with help from all children) and the chicken coop (fittingly maintained by me, since I loved eggs the most!). Government didn’t help, but did cause trouble for dad over even having a chicken coop in the back yard.

Next Dad bought me a Casco rotary tool, with various grinding disks, for aid in my model airplane construction, and I earned money by buying plain drinking glasses and engraving them with flowers, comics, names, etc, which I could take around and sell, for nice profit. That ended when I was informed that I needed a special government licence to do that, which would cost more than 10 times what I could earn.

By then I became 10 years old, enough to qualify for riding a bike, which dad bought for me for $20. With that I took up delivering newspapers after school.

Finally government was contributing some to my earnings, since about onequarter of the newspaper information was devoted to reporting the evils and problems with government, local and international.

But much better things were happening: 1946, when I was 13 (ever since my lucky number), several local people, successful despite government, invested in building a local airport with gravel strip 1.500-ft. long, great for the 65 HP Piper Cubs. I regularly pedaled my bike the vie miles to airport, where I could clean airplanes for 60-cents per hour, and spend that on flying lessons, at $9 per hour! Only 15 hours of cleaning got me an hour of flight instruction!

School and things that had to be done at home limited me, but when I turned 16 I was ready and soloed the airplane, and at 17, had earned my private pilot’s

flying, so needed my sister to drive us to the field. That pushed me to get a driver’s license. Oh, Obama, where was the government help?

Between gardening, models, flying, music (church choir, school orchestra and band, all-state orchestra and band, sailboat racing and boat repairing, with summer job at local boatyard, I only managed 15th in my high school class, but was WAY ahead of everyone else, since I had already met Joan!

College, freshman year at Oklahoma University, where family friend and grade school sweetheart were, ended at top of engineering class, and transferred to Rutgers University. My little book of excellent girls showed JOAN close in Princeton! Ultimate luck again?

How did government help that? Oh, maybe Dad’s 1940 Hudson and gasoline at 14-cents per gallon!

Graduated at the top of my engineering class in 1955, I showed ultimate brilliance by marrying Joan on June 25 1955, took off next day for job at Hughes Aircraft Co in Culver City, Calif., with Dad’s 1940 Packard 180 towing my 29-ft. travel trailer (which I had lived in for three years, and we lived in for 2 1/2 more years. Hey idiot Obama, I’m still wondering how government helped!

Job at Hughes was great, led to my Phoenix Air Defense Missile (still active). While there, the mountain hiking dad led us to in 1940 resulted in mountaineering backpacking, and my design and sales of ultimately WARM sleeping bags for ALL conditions, and the ultimate storm proof ultra light tents. Government only got involved in that when we moved to Gilford in 1975, and local government tried to shut down a “home business”! That was my REAL turnoff about totally ROTTEN government. A GOOD lawyer saved us, but 37 years later I see no improvement in the anti-business attitude of government, maybe worst right here in Gilford!

SO TOTAL IDIOT OBAMA, WHERE HAS YOUR USELESS GOVERNMENT EVER HELPED ME OR ANYONE? Ah, the answer: Obama has helped HIMSELF to OUR money, becoming super rich without ever doing any useful work! Quick, get rid of the total IDIOT LIAR. Jack Stephenson

To the editor, A young person I know recently needed to transfer funds from a closed employer IRA account to a new one.

When opening the account, they thought they were doing business with a certain bank. Lo and behold, when the smoke cleared and the first statement arrived they discovered their money had been sent off to another state for a broker/dealer outfit to manage.

If you are opening a new retirement account or transferring an old one please know EXACTLY who will be holding your money before you sign on the dotted line. If the people you plan to work with can’t provide a direct and specific answer go elsewhere or your may be discussing your account with

To the editor, As the Laconia city chairman for the Romney 2012 campaign I like to share how valuable New Hampshire is and has been for the election process for ourselves, as residents, and also throughout the United States.

It’s a “curse” to be looked upon as a “special voter”, however, you are! Volunteers have been making identification calls and completing the walking books that “target” only those that are registered as “independent” voters.

It’s important to explain the purpose of the volunteer’s efforts in this election cycle and say thank you to those who were kind enough to take 30 seconds to help us complete our assigned tasks already. But alas, we are not finished...we could be....we’re not, because again, you are special.

An important background story of N.H. is that not only are we the first in the U.S. for the primaries, we used to be the only state that got it right in the choice of president. If you didn’t win N.H., you didn’t win. This has changed. Also, we have the distinct benefit of being one of just a few states that has no state income or sales taxes.

This must not change. Therefore, we are a just a little bit “picky” of whom we put in the governor’s seat and Legislature to keep that “protection”.

For this 2012 election I hope that we are going to be just as “picky” when selecting the next president. As one of Gov. Romney’s volunteers, I did find that many independents have already

a nice lady in Pakistan. It’s equally important to understand that if your plan has the word investment in it then 100-percent of your money could be at risk. Please ask the person who is selling you the IRA product if this is true and where this fact is stated in the agreement you are about to sign. Again, if you don’t get a yes or no answer go elsewhere.

All of these fancy retirement plans were originally intended to help working people save money for retirement while delaying taxes. If that is your goal then please make sure you are not risking everything while letting some stranger play with your money.

Sen. Forrester should agree to one-on-one debates with Bob Lamb To the editor, After reading the article in your paper last week concerning Bob Lamb and Jeanie Forrester working to schedule joint appearances, I would like to encourage Sen. Forrester to agree to one-on-one debates. There is no substitute for one-on-one debates and I hope that Sen. Forrester will accept the original request from Mr. Lamb to participate in five debates; the voters in Senate District 2 deserve that.

Your article mentioned that Sen. Forrester referenced the candidate’s forum that took place in Meredith during the 2010 election. Given the

breadth and depth of issues that face N.H., only a one-on-one debate provides the format and time for the voters to get a real appreciation for the candidate’s positions and viewpoints on the important issues that face N.H. We need leaders in Concord who can articulate their positions and priorities and who are able to debate their opponent directly on those.

Debates are proven to be the best way for the voters to learn each candidate’s positions and how they support them, voters should be wary of any candidate who is unwilling to do this.

made up their mind as they were gracious with their time with me. I also found that some preferred not to come to the door when they saw a clipboard or when telephoned they prefer to hang-up abruptly. Please reconsider.

Once EITHER campaign has identified your preference; your name is then supposed to be taken off ALL call and/or mailing lists. However, if either the door to door or telephone identifying efforts are not met; then BOTH campaigns will continue to call. WHY is that? New Hampshire is a “swing” state due to independent registrations. Every vote counts and your vote is your voice.

Each campaign effort spends millions of dollars....one side is using tax dollars for their traveling fundraising and message efforts with 30 paid staffers in N.H. and one is using grassroots volunteers (at no cost, such as myself) and six paid staffers to identify your preference. So if you get a call or a home visit, please allow us NOT call you back or come to the door and interrupt your valuable time.

My findings thus far have no bearing at all; however, I have to commend many folks that really have a clear understanding of what’s at stake for this election when considering both candidates. Thank you for looking at what is at stake for this nation. As I have written before, all elections have consequences.

Grace Capital Church signs lease for 22,000-sq.-ft off downtown space

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Grace Capital Church has leased 22,000-square feet in the building attached to the municipal parking garage at 523-571 Main Street, which this week it began converting into a house of worship complete with an auditorium, classrooms, teen center and office space.

Since the church opened locally in October 2010, it has held its services at the Laconia Middle School and maintained an office on Canal Street. ‘We’ve had to beg, borrow and steal space,” said Pastor Mark Warren, who expects his congregation, which currently numbers about 250, to double by the close of the year. “We will use this space,” he declared.

Apart from services on Sundays, Warren said that Bible classes and youth groups, which have been meeting in the homes of parishioners, would meet on weekdays when the administrative offices would be open. The church, he explained also hosts groups for those coping with divorce and classes in household financial management, which will use the classrooms. The lower level, once home to a bar and pool room, will house the teen center.

Warren estimated the cost of renovating and configuring the space at approximately $100,000, noting that church members are volunteering their services for some of the work. Furniture, fixtures and fittings will likely also run to six figures.

Warren Clement, who with Kevin Sullivan of Coldwell Banker Commercial Weeks Associates, shepherded the leasing arrangement, said that the church would be a valuable asset to the downtown. “It will bring people downtown every day and evening of the week,” he said, adding that the increase in foot traffic will benefit the retailers and restaurants.

“The Soda Shoppe is very excited,” Warren remarked. “We’ll slam them on Sundays.”

The Grace Capital Church was founded in 1996 by STATE SCHOOL from page one and marketing consultant to prepare a request for proposals (RFP) and marketing plan for the sale of the site. The department has budgeted $75,000 for the marketing effort which Commissioner Linda Hodgdon told lawmakers earlier this year would be conducted on “a national and/or global scale.”

Connor anticipates the RFP would be issued by November 15 and the proposals evaluated and a buyer selected some appropriate time afterward.

Peter Bonanno and, after meeting in private homes and school rooms, moved to a building in Pembroke in 2005 and soon affiliated with the Foursquare Church headquartered in Los Angeles, which was founded by the celebrated evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in 1927. The congregation grew rapidly, with about 1,000 worshippers attending two services on Sundays, many of them from the Lakes Region. The Laconia congregation dates from 2010 and Warren said that a church is slated to open in Manchester next year.

The space, which has been vacant for the past six

years, is owned by Downtown Crossing LLC, whose principals, Paul and Dan Disangro, were awarded the property in a settlement reached with Steven Borghi of Alton in 2009. The Disangros were partners of Borghi when his plans to open a Work Out World franchise foundered under heavy debt, along with charges of misappropriation of funds and deceptive trade practices.

In August 2011, Andrea Wilson announced plans to open a children’s museum in the space, which she subsequently abandoned.

rize the sale, which the enabling legislation stipulates must close no later than May 1, 2013.

The state had earlier offered the property to the city for ‘’not less than $10-million’’ with a June 30 deadline for the city to agree to purchase it. An attempt to amend the original legislation which would have had the effect of allowing the city to purchase it for $2.16-million, which was the value set on the property by an appraisal conducted for the state last year, failed in early June.

Philpot said it would be prudent for the county ‘’to

take time up to August 14 to speak with people in the city and get a comfort level about why the city is confident that it will be able to acquire the property.’’

He described the property as a ‘’gem, a historic piece of property’’ which would be suitable for a lot of public uses, including a nursing home and a county jail. “There are a lot of public uses the land could be put to,’’ said Philpot.

He said that there was an assumption in the city that it wouldn’t ‘’get into a bidding war with a private see next page

Village Bakery folks opening Local Eatery restaurant in Laconia’s historic train station

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — It’s been about five years since Kevin and Gillian Halligan bought the Laconia Village Bakery.

While business has been steady, it wasn’t the kind of career Kevin had in mind when he was earning his degree from the New England Culinary Institute. The idea to start a restaurant had been clawing at him for the past year and a half until he became a man obsessed. Specifically, he wanted to be the first chef to open an eatery serving food made nearly exclusively with locally-sourced ingredients.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

My wife thinks I’m nuts. Everybody thinks I’m nuts,” said Halligan. Yet, touched or not, he’s preparing to open Local Eatery next month. The restaurant will be located within the historic railroad station at Veterans Square, in the space that the Black Cat Café occupied for many years.

While he doesn’t have a specific opening date set, Halligan is aiming for mid-August, and he plans to operate the restaurant five nights per week – Tuesday through Saturday – throughout the year.

It may sound absurd on the face of it, as even veteran gardeners venture to the supermarket for vegetables in winter and spring. Halligan, though, thinks he can stock his kitchen every month of the year with produce and meats that were raised nearby.

Marketing local produce to diners isn’t a novel concept, though it seems to be growing in popularity. Halligan’s bakery has been offering a “local” dish among its daily lunch offerings, and he said that’s the item that customers are most likely to order, no matter what it is. Other restaurants might feature a local, in-season ingredient or

from preceding page entity for the property’’ due to environmental cleanup money for the property being available only to a municipalities and suggested with tongue firmly planted in cheek that the county could buy it for $1.76-million and then resell it to the city for a profit.

County Administrator Debra Shackett said she had contacted Laconia City Manager Scott Myers about the city’s plans and he had told her that the city intends to buy the property ‘’the minute the county says no and that they’re very confident that they’re going to buy it.’’

Commissioner John Thomas said that from his standpoint there are issues involved with the cleanup of the property which make it as much of a liability as an asset. ‘’Usually it costs much more to clean up these situations than originally estimated. There’s asbestos in the buildings and other contaminants, fuel oil, gasoline, and there was a machine shop there,’’ said Thomas.

Commissioner Stephen Nedeau said the property is very valuable but the county, with plans for a new prison being developed, isn’t in any financial position to take on that cost. ‘’I’d love to buy it. They don’t make land anymore. But we have enough

meat in a daily special. But an entire menu based on local ingredients?

“People use local stuff, they never try to base a whole menu on it,” he said.

Halligan thinks he can.

For starters, he’s already got the contacts with local producers. He’ll buy vegetables in bulk when they’re in season and freeze or otherwise preserve them for the winter months.

Fresh seafood is available throughout the year. He plans to purchase whole animals which, through the art of butchery and charcuterie, he can make use of every cut. There’s also an array of local brewers and wine makers which have spread throughout the state, which offer their products at competitive prices. Cheese and eggs should also be available without much trouble. He’s even in talks with a local farm about growing leafy vegetables in greenhouses all winter. “It’s there, they can do it, why not?”

“I’m not going to say that it’s all going to be from Laconia or Gilford, but I’m going to do my damnedest,” Halligan said. His rule of thumb is to source “as local as it can be.” When sourcing an ingredient, he’ll look first to Belknap County, then statewide, and finally from other New England states. Not only does Halligan think he can cook year-round with local ingredients, he thinks Local Eatery will be priced competitively with other restaurants of similar quality.

“It’s doable,” he’s convinced.

“It really makes a lot of sense when you start to think about it. It’s more work, but it makes more sense.” The concept throws conventional wisdom out the window, and he’s just fine with that. “It’s taking a step back and eating food the way it’s meant to be eaten,” he said. “I can’t wait.”

pots in the oven and don’t need any more. It’s a very important part of the city of Laconia and I hope they buy it,’’ said Nedeau.

Belknap County Delegation Chairman Alida Millham, who was present at the meeting, said that there were a lot of unknowns with the cleanup costs but that it was very important that the property be preserved. She urged the county to have ‘’a supportive relationship with the city of Laconia’’ in its bid to acquire the property.

The state’s offer to the county consists of 228 acres, 10 more than was offered to the city, and includes the Robbie Mills Sports Complex on Eastman Road, 10.2-acres owned by the state and leased to the city for 99 years.

The remainder of the property being offered consists of three tax parcels. The largest, some 200-acres, is bounded by North Main Street to the east, Meredith Center Road and Eastman Road to the north and Ahern State Park to the west and south and divided roughly in half by Right Way Path. There are some 26 buildings on the parcel, all in varying degrees of disrepair, all but a handful on its western half. Numerous sources of likely contamination were identified on the parcel by Credere Associates, see next page

GILMANTON — The Board of Selectmen have appointed Joseph Collins, who has led the police department in Effingham for the past nine years, as chief of police. He succeeds Phil O’Brien who retired earlier this year.

Rachel Hatch, who chairs the board, said yesterday that Collins, who served as sergeant in the Gilmanton department from January, 2002 until September, 2003, intends to complete his career in the service of the town.

A native of Barnstead, Collins brings experience gained in five years

Hatch said that the board expects the new chief to recommend a candidate to fill the sergeant’s position left vacant by the resignation of Dennis Rector last year.

Affidavits supporting the search and arrest war— Gail Ober GILFORD from page one offered. “We’ve been down this road before and you can’t carve out exotic dancing.”

In 2003, Bownes represented Drew in a case where a previous Board of Selectmen denied him exotic dancing. After a prolonged legal battle that went to federal court, a judge ruled that Gilford’s ordinance prohibiting exotic dancing was illegal.

Drew’s license application was approved by the police chief, the fire chief and the code enforcement officer. Town Administrator Scott Dunn was vocal in his opposition at a meeting two weeks ago but was largely silent at last night’s meeting.

Although Bownes did most of the talking during the nearly 45-minute discussion that preceded the vote, Hayes asked Drew if he would be willing to go forward without exotic dancing. Drew said he had told Dunn in the past that he would have agreed, however last night he said he had “had enough” “I’m not going to agree to that at this time,” he said.

The former Mardi Gras Cabaret North was targeted in a drug raid involving two SWAT Teams, the Gilford Police, and the drug task force on October 18, 2011. Selectmen and other civilian Gilford department heads accompanied police.

Bownes said the raid was predicated by an undercover drug operation that began in July after law enforcement allegedly got information the establishment was the hangout of “outlaw motorcycle gangs” and there was “wholesale drug activity” taking place.

Police arrested seven people, including four dancers, one former dancer and two patrons. Three dancers were arrested during the raid and the other four were arrested by cooperating local police departments.

Three dancers received varying sentences for their drug activity, one has yet to stand trial, and charges were dropped against one. At press time, it is not

known what happened to the two patrons.

The Mardi Gras was not operated by Drew, but by a lessee of his property. But the operators were using Drew’s liquor license.

After a three-day hearing before the N.H. Liquor Commission, Drew was found responsible for three liquor violations including giving away a free drink, serving an intoxicated person and having employees drink while working. The Commission suspended his license for three days and ordered him to pay a total of $350 in fines.

Bownes told selectman last night the Liquor Commission never found any evidence of the most serious charge of allowing his business to be used for unlawful activities. He also said the free drinks served were to undercover law enforcement and that in many instances law enforcement selected the place for the drug transactions.

Selectman John O’Brien said he was “flabbergasted” by the Liquor Commission ruling. He said something had to have triggered the investigation and Bownes replied that he was “not flabbergasted” and something triggers every police investigation but in this case his client was exonerated.

“It should be dealt with,” O’Brien replied noting the $350 fine didn’t cover the cost of the undercover investigation.

“It was dealt with and this is the result,” Bownes said referring to the Liquor Commission’s ruling, adding it wasn’t Drew’s fault the state launched such an expensive investigation.

After Haye’s first motion to allow Drew to have an exotic dancing permit with strippers failed for lack of a second, Bownes said his client deserved an explanation.

“Just sitting on your hands isn’t an explanation,” Bownes said, to which Hayes told him to wait because he didn’t think the selectmen were through. see next page

Police say Laconia man kicked officer while resisting arrest for threatening LACONIA — An Olive Place man is being held on $10,000 cash bail for allegedly threatening the slash his girlfriend’s throat with a box cutter and then kicking one of the city police officers who came to arrest him.

Police affidavits filed in circuit court said Patrick T. Fisher, 37, of 14 Olive Place ran into the woods around 9 p.m. Tuesday after he threatened the woman and she called the police.

About an hour later police made contact with Fisher outside the home.

When Officer Jacob Tivey went to place Fisher in custody, Fisher began struggling and pulling away from him.

Tivey was able to get Fisher to the

ground but when Officer Ben Black went to get control of Fisher’s legs, Fisher is said to have kicked him in the hand and in the arm.

Neither officer was injured. Fisher is charged with one felony count of criminal threatening, one misdemeanor count of simple assault (on a police officer) and one misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.

Should he post bail Judge Jim Carroll ordered him not to drink alcohol, to stay away from the victim, and to report to city police daily at 5 p.m.

Carroll also said that when Fisher gets a lawyer he is entitled to a review of his bail conditions.

from preceding page Then Benavides made the motion to grant Drew the live entertainment license without exotic dancing that passed.

After the hearing Drew spoke briefly with the media. He said the selectmen were impeding upon his right’s to earn a living.

He said he had complied with all of the selectmen’s requests and he was

still denied his full permit.

At the end of the meeting and as part of public comment, former Planning Board member Mark Corey said he was “embarrassed” by the actions of the board. He said Drew complied with everything selectmen asked him and denying his exotic dancing permit was a disservice to the town and Drew.

He said the decision would likely lead to more costly litigation.

LRGH from page one with the liver destroying hepatitis C virus.

David Matthew Kwiatkowski, who has been arrested by federal authorities on charges of fraudulently obtaining controlled substances and tampering with consumer products, was a so-called “traveller,” employed by a staffing agency but working under contract at hospitals in at least eight states.

A survey conducted by HireRight, a firm that screens prospective employees, found that 13-percent of respondents in the health care sector reported that “travelers” represented between 11-percent and 20-percent of their workforce while 61-percent of respondents reported they accounted for between one-percent and and 10-percent of their personnel.

Stiles said that some years ago, when nurses were in short supply,

contract employees at LRGH were more numerous, but their numbers have dwindled to next to nothing as the nursing shortage waned.

All contract employees whose responsibilities bring them into contact with patients, Stiles stressed, undergo the same degree of intensive screening applied to all other employees, even if they have been vetted by the staffing agency that employs them.

HireRight projects that hiring of contract employees to rise as the coincidence of the aging of the baby boom generation demographic and the expansion of health insurance coverage increases demand for medical care just as the ranks of physicians, nurses and other providers are themselves retiring. The firm claims that health care organizations thoroughly 89-percent of newly hired employees but only 48-percent of contract employees. despite the greater risk they pose.

KIDNAPPING from page 2 Ripken later Wednesday morning and she told him the gunman tied her hands and put a blindfold on her, but said he wouldn’t hurt her.

“He lit cigarettes for her, they stopped for food,” Kowalewski said.

“He said, ‘I’m not going to hurt you.

I’m going to take you back,’ and that’s what he did.”

Kowalewski said Ripken told him the gunman originally planned to put tape over her eyes.

“But he didn’t do that because she said ‘please don’t do that ‘cause I’m claustrophobic,’” said Kowalewski, a 72-year-old retired autoworker.

Instead, the gunman put some type of mask or blinders on her, and she could see somewhat out the sides, he said.

Ripken told her neighbor the gunman also didn’t seem to know she was part of the Ripken family, who is well-known throughout the Baltimore area and to baseball fans all over.

“He said he just wanted money and

her car,” Kowalewski said.

Three years after voluntarily ending his Iron Man streak, Ripken Jr. retired in 2001. He is the chairman and founder of Ripken Baseball Inc., which he runs along with his brother, Bill.

He owns three minor-league baseball teams, including the Single A IronBirds based at the Ripken Baseball complex in Aberdeen, a middleclass area of about 15,000 people.

Kowalewski said Ripken told him the gunman asked her about items in the car related to the Ironbirds and did not seem to know about the team.

Mike Hudson, 43, whose mother lives across the street from Ripken, said he was surprised the kidnapper came back to the neighborhood because police were swarming over the area about midnight.

“It’s just hard to believe the guy came all the way back on the street and dropped her off. That makes me believe he was local, very local,” said Hudson.

Laconia State Senate candidate Joshua Youssef takes his child custody case before committee of N.H. House

By AnnmArie Timmins CONCORD MONITOR

CONCORD — A state Senate candidate on Tuesday persuaded a House legislative committee to investigate impeachment proceedings against three judges he says grossly mishandled his bitter custody fight with his ex-wife.

The 8-2 vote by the House Redress of Grievances Committee comes days after the same committee voted 9-1 to investigate impeachment proceedings against retired Judge John Arnold for his oversight of a separate custody case.

Yesterday’s petition was filed by Joshua Youssef, a Laconia Republican, seeking his first elected office.

Youssef told the committee that two marital masters, three judges and a guardian ad litem illegally made or relied on false allegations to restrict him from seeing his son alone for nearly 13 months.

The judges are Ed Kelly, who oversees the state’s circuit and family courts; Edward Gordon, a sitting district court judge (Franklin) and retired district court Judge Brackett Scheffy. But Youssef’s main target was the guardian ad litem appointed to his case, Tracy Bernson of Dover.

According to paperwork Youssef provided the committee, Bernson unfairly told the Division for Children, Youth and Families in February 2011 that Youssef’s son had complained that Youssef was showering with the boy, 6 years old at the time, and washing the boy’s genitals.

Youssef said Bernson’s motive was to jeopardize his parenting time by suggesting to the court that the contact was sexually inappropriate. The court order says Bernson reported “inappropriate parenting” to the state, not alleged sexual abuse.

Youssef said he did shower with the boy as described but only to hustle him along when he tried to play in the bathtub instead.

Youssef was never accused of sexual misconduct, and an investigator with the state determined that the complaint against Youssef was unfounded.

Still, Youssef told the committee, Bernson included the showering incidents in her report to Marital Master Nancy Geiger knowing it had been ruled “unfounded.”

Geiger adopted Bernson’s recommendations in February 2011, including one that Youssef have only supervised visits with his son until the boy was “therapeutically” ready. Geiger also awarded Youssef’s ex-wife sole decision-making until the former spouses could communicate more effectively.

Youseff’s petition to the redress committee faulted Bernson and Geiger for their direct roles in his case and the judges for allegedly failing to properly oversee Bernson and Geiger. The committee heard only from Youssef before issuing its findings yesterday.

Bernson declined in January to appear before the committee, saying that she is a private citizen, not a government official, and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the committee.

The committee’s purpose is to address grievances the public has against government agencies and their

employees. It was revived by House Speaker Bill O’Brien last year after being dormant for a century.

Nor did the committee hear from any of the named judicial officials because they too declined to appear and answer questions.

Youssef, alone, testified before the committee — for more than seven hours over three days. And he alone provided the committee court records. And those records were only selected sections of his file, not the entire file.

For example, Youssef did not emphasize Geiger’s order on visitation that faulted Youssef for sending abusive e-mails to his ex-wife and ignoring his son’s request that he be able to shower alone. “It would be extremely difficult for a person to read e-mails like those sent by Joshua Youssef. . . . and be able to communicate and co-parent with him,” Geiger wrote.

According to Geiger’s order, Youssef’s son had become increasingly upset about spending time with his father because of the showering routine. In January 2011, “everything came to a head” Geiger wrote, when a school nurse called the boy’s mother to say the boy was unwell. The boy was sobbing and dizzy because he was supposed to see his father that night, the order said.

The boy became so anxious as the visit with his father neared, that his mother took him to a hospital emergency room. The doctor who saw the boy instructed the hospital to follow up in the morning with the state Division of Children, Youth and Families.

Bernson was also required to report the boy’s complaints and anxiety about showering with his father, Geiger wrote. She did so but reported potential parenting problems not sexual misconduct, Geiger said. When a state investigator ruled the complaint unfounded, he did encourage Youssef to continue with counseling and to give his son privacy in the bathroom.

In addition, Bernson and the court said Youssef had not taken responsibility for his son’s anxiety.

Youssef’s complaints to the committee were many.

He said Bernson had illegally concluded — on her own without expert advice — that his son was not “therapeutically” ready to spend time alone with him. He argued the family court officials were wrong to require counseling as a condition for Youssef to see his son alone.

Nor did Youssef think it appropriate for the court to require him to take parenting classes before resuming unsupervised visits with his son. He complained that Bernson filed a stalking petition against him but he did not emphasize that she did so after he created a website about her and posted information about the description of her vehicle.

Bernson eventually withdrew from the case, but before she did, she said in court that Youssef made her fearful. Youssef told the committee she should have left the case as soon as she felt that way because it meant she had a bias against him.

The committee’s eight Republicans found all those grievances to be founded yesterday. Several comsee next page

Waukewan & Winona Watershed Protective Association reaffirms mission at annual meeting NEW HAMPTON — The Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association elected officers and reaffirmed its mission at a recent annual meeting.

Members and guests were also reminded that the nonprofit organization has never taken an official corporate position with regard to desired lake levels.

For the benefit of new members and prospective members in the audience, Co-Chairman Deb Corr read the association’s mission statement, which declares a desire to “encourage and support longrange planning and sound conservation techniques to preserve the ecology, environment and natural beauty of Lakes Waukewan and Winona and Hawkins, Otter and Bear Ponds and the surrounding watershed.”

“As an environmental group, we are faced with many challenges to fulfill our mission,” said Corr.

“Our organization is growing at a healthy pace, with a very encouraging response from active and prospective members,” added Vice-Chairman Janan Hays. “People are very willing to take on projects such as encouraging the Snake River Loons to once

again nest in Snake River.”

“There are several other projects on the agenda for this year, including some important educational efforts, and we will let the public know about them in future press releases,” said Dave Reilly, co-chairman.

The final water level decree issued by the N.H. Department of Environmental Services was discussed to bring those in attendance up to date.

During the discussion, the directors emphasised they had, as a board, taken no official position during the prolonged water level debate.

The Board of Directors for the year starting July 1 and running to June 30, 2013 consists of Reilly and Corr as co-chairmen; Hays as vice-chairman; Bea Thibeault, secretary; Peter Tallman, treasurer and Lee Callahan, director.

For information on how to join the Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association, email Deb Corr at debcorr@metrocast.net, Janan Hays at jhays@northstarnh.com or Dave Reilly at rreillydave @aol.com.

from preceding page mittee members — Rep. Seth Cohn, a Canterbury Republican; Rep. Kevin Avard, a Nashua Republican; and Rep. Tim Commerford, a Fremont Republican — did not vote because they have endorsed Youssef in his Senate race.

The committee voted to investigate impeachment proceedings against the judges. They also voted to introduce legislation next year to provide greater supervision and accountability of guardians ad litem, marital masters and judges in the family courts.

They will also introduce legislation to prevent a reduction of parenting time unless there is a finding of abuse and neglect. Other legislation to be introduced will prohibit the court from coercing parties to agree to contracts or stipulations with guardians ad litem.

Youssef said he agreed to sign a contract with Bernson under “duress” and was unaware of what he was signing.

The committee’s only two Democrats in attendance yesterday, Rep. Helen Deloge of Concord and Rep. Timothy Horrigan, voted against Youssef’s petition.

Laura Kiernan, spokeswoman for the judicial branch, said court officials had not been given the committee’s findings by yesterday afternoon and, therefore, could not comment.

In a written statement issued yesterday evening, Bernson said it was “regretful” that Youssef still appears unwilling to take responsibility his behavior had on his son. She also said the findings in the majority report are incorrect.

She said that while she is not allowed to release her

full guardian ad litem reports, they contain “copious details about Mr. Youssef’s inappropriate conduct.”

Bernson said that included not only his behavior toward his son and ex-wife but to her as well. “I did my job thoroughly and not once during my entire involvement with this case, over two years, did the court . . . find that I engaged in any inappropriate behavior,” she wrote.

Bernson went on to say the only way to please Youssef would have been to agree with him. The redress committee, she said, is the work of an “agendadriven” House speaker and a waste of resources.

The courts and their servants should not have to choose between the well-being of a child and avoiding the rabid, relentless attacks from an angry parent,” she wrote. “If I had known what Mr. Youssef and the small, agenda-driven side of government would say about me, I would still not have chosen to agree with Mr. Youssef over telling the court the truth.”

After the committee vote yesterday, Youssef said the experience with the family court is what prompted him to seek election to the Senate.

“So many people like to talk about transparency in their campaigns, but they don’t actually live it,” he said. “I am proof of transparency in my campaign. You can ask me a question, and I will give you a direct and decisive answer. We may agree. We may disagree, but I will always listen to your side of the story.”

Youssef said that while the details of his own story are sensitive, “I believe the people who I seek to represent have a right to know what I’m doing to bring about change even before I’m elected.”

BILLS from page 2 financial assistance from a state program that helps people hurt during crimes, including lost wages and counseling.

Among the uninsured victims of the movie-theater attack is a 23-year-old aspiring comic, Caleb Medley, who is in critical condition with a head wound and whose wife, Katie, gave birth to their first child, Hugo, on Tuesday.

His family and friends said they have set a goal of raising $500,000 to cover his hospital bills and other expenses and were over halfway there on Wednesday.

“All the money that is donated is going straight to Caleb, Katie and Hugo to help them with medical bills, getting back on their feet, help with the baby items,” friend Michael West said. “Anything and everything that they need.”

Children’s Hospital Colorado announced it would use donations and its charity care fund to cover the medical expenses of the uninsured. For those who do have insurance, the hospital says it will waive all co-pays.

“We are committed to supporting these families as they heal,” according to a statement from the hospital, which treated six shooting victims.

HealthOne, which owns the Medical Center of Aurora and Swedish Medical Center, also says it will limit or eliminate charges based on the individual circumstances of the patients. Those hospitals have treated 22 shooting victims. However, the company cautioned its policy may not apply to all doctors working in its hospitals.

ROME from page 2 Review, said he wasn’t familiar with all the details of the Manchester incident but said it’s a fundamental security principle that people aren’t allowed aboard an aircraft if they have no right to be there — whether or not they passed through a security scanner.

“It’s not good, is it?” he said. “It is a security breach, if a non-threatening security breach.”

An undisclosed number of security staff employed by the airport and airline employees have been suspended while authorities investigate.

“This is an unusual and serious breach and we are keen to find out what has gone on,” said the government’s transport secretary, Justine Greening.

Airport manager Craig, however, said “it’s not technically a breach of security” because the boy did go through the normal security scan.

“The boy was no threat to the aircraft,” he said.

But he admitted the boy passed through five security checks before boarding the plane.

The first check came when he entered the secure area where an airport security officer is supposed to verify that the traveler has a boarding card or a staff pass.

“The boy arrived at security at a time when it was extra busy, there were a lot of families traveling,” Craig said. While it’s common for one member of a family to present all the boarding cards, he said, the officer failed to count to ensure that the number of cards matched the number of people going through.

The airline was responsible for four further checks on boarding, Craig said: for a passport, for boarding pass, another check at the aircraft door for a boarding pass stub with a seat assignment, and a final passenger count after everyone had boarded.

Manchester Airport is the third busiest in the United Kingdom after London Heathrow and London Gatwick. The security staff is hired and managed by airport officials.

right-hander Colby Lewis was done for the season with a torn flexor tendon and Roy Oswalt skipped his scheduled start because of back stiffness.

In his fourth start since coming off the DL, Holland (7-5) allowed three runs and five hits with one walk.

Elvis Andrus was hit on the left forearm by a pitch to reach with one out in the seventh. He got to third on a single by Adrian Beltre and scored to break a 3-all tie when Beckett (5-9) threw a wild pitch that bounced several feet wide of the plate.

“Josh gave us a zero in the first inning, as promised, and pitched a good game,” Boston manager Bobby Valentine said. “Nobody on in the seventh, then a wild pitch to score a go-ahead run. ... It’s a damn shame.”

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Derek Holland is intent on making up for the time he missed on the mound for the Texas Rangers, who keep winning series at home.

The left-hander certainly seems to be getting back into form after missing a month because of shoulder fatigue brought on when he lost about 15 pounds when he had a stomach virus.

Holland retired 20 of 22 batters over one stretch Wednesday night and struck out seven in 7 2-3 innings, and the Rangers scored the go-ahead run after a couple of wild throws by Josh Beckett in a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

Historical site featured in July 28 linen-making demonstration GILMANTON — The Gilmanton Land Trust and the Gilmanton Historical Society will hold a demonstration of the process of flax retting - creating linen - as it was done in Gilmanton 200 years ago.

The demonstration, by expert Gina Gerhard, will occur between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 28, at the site of an ancient flax retting pond on Meeting House Road in Gilmanton.

Visitors will see the flax retting pond that was constructed and used in the early 1800s - a unique feature that may be the only one remaining in New Hampshire. During the day, they can work with Gina Gerhard to understand the many steps in the process of making flax into linen.

The site, on Meeting House Road in Gilmanton, is on one of the parcels to be preserved in the Gilmanton’s Greatest Views: for Everyone, Forever

campaign. With an extensive hayfield, forested area, a small barn, and frontage on Meeting House Pond, the property has high conservation and historic appeal. Tours of the property, with fields, woods and frontage on Meeting House Pond, will be offered throughout the day.

To reach the site from the west, at the junction of Meeting House Rd. and Rt. 107, on Frisky Hill, go easterly on Meeting House Rd. for about 1.1 miles and watch for the barn on the left. From the east, take Meetinghouse Road off Route 140; at the junction of Meeting House Rd. and Stone Rd., go westerly on Meeting House Rd. for about ½ miles and watch for the barn on the right.

No RSVP is needed. For more information, check the website at www.gilmantonlandtrust.org or contact John Dickey at jdickey@metrocast.net; phone: 267-6098.

Meredith & Wolfeboro residents riding in 33rd Pan-Massachusetts Challenge MEREDITH — David and Beth Hamblett, owners of Y Landing Marina on Meredith Neck, and Katherine Royce of Wolfeboro, will pedal their way into fundraising history as participants in the 33rd annual PanMassachusetts Challenge (PMC) on August 4-5.

The PMC is the nation’s pioneer charity bike-a-thon that raises more money than any other athletic fundraising event in the country. They will be among 5,500 cyclists who will ride with the collective goal of raising $36 million to support adult and pediatric cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund.

PMC riders range in age from 13 to 88. Some are seasoned tri-athletes while others are weekend warriors having trained for this event alone. Most PMC participants ride in honor of a family member or friend lost to, or being treated for, cancer. All share a passion and desire to one day find a cure for the disease. The average PMC cyclist trains

for three months, solicits 40 sponsors, and raises more than $6,000. Doctors ride alongside their patients; grandparents ride with their grandchildren; and others show support from the sidelines in the form of donations and cheers.

More than 300 riders are cancer survivors or current patients.

“The PMC is the gold standard of athletic fundraising events,” says Billy Starr, Pan-Massachusetts Challenge founder and executive director. “PMCers are as committed to raising money for cancer research as they are to pedaling the miles.

PMC cyclists are all heart and soul.”

No other single athletic event raises or contributes more money to charity than the PMC. Since 1980, the PMC has raised $338 million for adult and pediatric cancer research and patient care at DanaFarber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. The PMC gives 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to the Jimmy Fund, a rate of fundraising that is nearly unequaled within the $3 billion athletic fundraising event industry.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

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

Spending too much time watching television is dangerous because passive entertainment keeps you from interacting with the ones who will profoundly influence your future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Boldness is not about putting your head inside the crocodile’s mouth.

That’s foolishness. Boldness is putting your heart in the hands of another person and hoping for mercy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You take ownership of your actions, partly because you’re hyper-responsible and partly because you recognize that it’s the best way to guide and control your destiny.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are always things in life that you must do and don’t much like doing.

Taking out the garbage and paying the bills are things that will make their way into your day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be in the position to choose your focus.

Look at the moral implications, and let them weigh heavily on your decisionmaking process. Enjoying what you do is not a sufficient reason for doing it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (JULY 26).

Keep your ears and eyes open through the next six weeks as exciting changes and subtle shifts are happening behind the scenes. In September, you’ll feel like a veil is lifted. November and March bring accomplishment and financial bonus. February features a contract.

You’ll like seeing a different part of the world in April. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 3, 5, 49 and 1.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Consider that you may not actually be the most qualified person to assess your own life. An outside view will help you understand a part of you that you didn’t before.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Because the task before you seems to warrant your full focus, you will ration your attention. The ones to the right and left of you can’t compete with the job that’s at your center.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you may think it’s no big deal, there’s something impressive in your presentation today. It’s spontaneous. You’ll do what you feel and it boomerangs back to you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It does take an effort to keep current, but you’ll manage to stay abreast of people’s lives that interest you. The ones who matter most to you will be aware of their honored place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is the day to honor a loved one with the kind of thing that will matter most -- a special look, body language that speaks big time, and a quality of attention you haven’t given up for a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Enthusiasm goes a long way toward helping you accomplish professional goals right now, while personal goals, in contrast, require more restraint and sensitivity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is rare these days that you do something for the sake of doing it, because the experience is the main goal. Enjoyment and expansion is the focus now, so get ready to have a good time.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, July 26, 2012— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 33 years old and fed up with how distant my family is. I am disappointed with my grandparents for the way they behave. I grew up around them, but they moved to Arizona when I was 19.

I thought we were close, but it seems we are growing further apart. Sometimes they are in our town for several weeks, but we only hear from them once or twice. One would think they would set a better example for maintaining family ties.

They recently came back for three weeks, and we didn’t know they were in town until halfway through their trip. They took us out to eat and casually mentioned that they are taking my two aunts and two of the grandkids to a resort for three days.

We weren’t invited. In fact, whenever they are here, they focus all of their time and attention on one daughter and her kids and forget the rest of us.

My grandparents are getting older and won’t be around forever. I really want my daughter to meet all of her family while she has a chance. How do I change this? Is it even worth trying? It’s not really the same if they call more often only because I demand it. -- Donny Dear Donny: You should talk to your grandparents and tell them how much you miss them and how their favoritism is having a negative impact on your feelings and their relationship with your daughter. It’s not a “demand.” They cannot change their behavior if they are unaware of it. It may take some extra effort for them to remember this, and it’s OK to prompt them when necessary. Also, don’t hesitate to take the initiative whenever you want to speak to them.

Dear Annie: I know this is a bit out of your league, but I don’t know who else to ask. My son is a university student.

His major requires that he take several math classes. In every class, the professor is his worst teacher of the semester. They don’t explain anything, and they don’t give feedback on tests

or quizzes. As a result, he does poorly.

I thought it was just my son or that university, but he now is taking a make-up math class at our local community college. He says the same thing is happening with the professor there. What is it about college math professors that makes them unfeeling, unhelpful and uncaring? Why can’t universities get them to treat their students better and be more helpful? -- Cape Coral, Fla. Dear Florida: While we are certain some math professors do not explain things as clearly as they could, when this happens with every professor, in every environment, we have to assume your son is more than a little math-challenged. As a college student, it is his responsibility to find a way to understand the material. Instead of blaming the professors, suggest to your son that he get some remedial math assistance. He should be able to find a tutor on campus.

Dear Annie: “Disappointed” needs to grow up instead of complaining that she is now left to buy her own honeymoon lingerie because her bridesmaids haven’t offered to host a shower for her. Oh, boo-hoo! It is not mandatory that anyone host a shower for her.

Perhaps she chose really expensive bridesmaids dresses, shoes, etc., and her attendants are already financially overextended -- and they are hosting a bachelorette party. But rather than focus on the positive, she prefers to be upset about the lack of a shower. Grow up, Bridezilla, and thank your bridesmaids for what they are doing for you. Buy your own honeymoon lingerie. A wedding is not about the gifts and the parties. -- California Dear California: Yes, but you are being a bit hard on the bride. She wasn’t demanding a shower. She was simply disappointed not to have one.
