TILTON — Police are searching for the man who robbed a woman at the drive-thru of the Northway Bank at around 10 p.m. on Thursday. According to Police Chief Bob Cormier, the woman, who manages a store at the Tanger
grabbed the money bag from her with the other then fled on foot in the direction of the neighboring Walmart and Market Basket. Several officers from the Tilton Police Department, assisted by units of neighboring departments and the New Hampshire State Police,
responded to the scene and searched for the suspect. Cormier said that a state police K-9 unit checking stores and parking lots picked up a scent but lost the track behind Walmart. The suspect was described as a slightly built white man in his 20s about five-feet eight see rOBBEry page 12

LACONIA — Doug Shaw woke yesterday to count 58 Canada geese grazing and defecating in his backyard on Franklin Street, overlooking Lake Opechee. “Every morning there are geese on lawns all the way up and down the street,” he said, “and they really make a mess.”

With royalty, Bond & rock, London opens 30th Summer Olympic Games LONDON (AP) — The queen and James Bond gave the London Olympics a royal entrance like no other Friday in an opening ceremony that rolled to the rock of the Beatles, the Stones and The Who. And the creative genius of Danny Boyle spliced it all together. Brilliant. Cheeky, too. The highlight of the Oscar-winning director’s $42 million show was pure movie magic, using trickery to make it seem that Britain’s beloved 86-year-old Queen Elizabeth II had parachuted into the stadium with the nation’s most famous spy. A short film showed Daniel Craig as 007 driving to Buckingham Palace in a black London cab and, pursued by the royal corgis, meeting the queen, who
played herself. “Good evening, Mr. Bond,” she said. They were shown flying in a helicopter over London landmarks and a waving statue of Winston Churchill — the queen in a salmon-colored dress, Bond dashing as ever in a black tuxedo — before leaping into the inky night over Olympic Park. At the same moment, real skydivers appeared as the stadium throbbed to the James Bond theme. And moments after that, the monarch appeared in person, accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip. Organizers said it was thought to be the first time she has acted on film. “The queen made herself more accessible than ever before,” Boyle said.
In the stadium, Elizabeth stood solemnly while a children’s choir serenaded her with “God Save the Queen,” and members of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force raised the Union Jack. Boyle sprang another giant surprise and picked seven teenage athletes for the supreme honor of igniting the Olympic cauldron. Together, they touched flaming torches to trumpetlike tubes that spread into a ring of fire. The flames rose and joined elegantly together to form the cauldron. Fireworks erupted over the stadium to music from Pink Floyd. And with a singalong of “Hey Jude,” Beatle Paul McCartney closed a show that ran 45 minutes beyond its scheduled see OLYMPICS page 13
Romney struggles to stem Suspect in hepatitis C outbreak wrote suicide note CONCORD (AP) — A traveling medical technician ough police report includes new details, including fallout from insult to Britain accused of causing a hepatitis C outbreak in New a list of six prescription drugs that were found in LONDON (AP) — Mitt Romney struggled Friday to stem political fallout at home after insulting Britain’s handling of the London Games. The stumble at least briefly pitted the Republican presidential candidate against America’s strongest ally while limiting his ability to capitalize on more troubling U.S. economic news. At the same time, President Barack Obama used his office to try to take advantage of the Republican’s missteps abroad, praising Britain for its Olympics preparations one day and sending money to Israel the next — just as Romney prepared to visit that nation. The confluence of events — just as the world focused on London’s opening ceremonies — confounded Republicans and tickled Democrats. People in both parties wondered aloud how the former Massachusetts governor could have complicated the opening leg of a three-nation tour carefully crafted to highlight his diplomatic strengths and personal Olympic experience. “You have to shake your head,” GOP strategist Karl Rove said Friday on Fox News. It was unclear just how much damage Romney, who had hoped to burnish his limited foreign policy credentials, did with an American electorate that hasn’t fully tuned into the race. But he certainly stoked talk in political circles in Washington, if not elsewhere, of political tone-deafness, and he raised see ROMNEY page 13
Hampshire wrote a suicide note saying he “couldn’t handle this stress anymore” the week before his arrest, according to a police report. David Kwiatkwoski was arrested July 19 at a Massachusetts hospital six days after police found him apparently impaired in a hotel room scattered with prescription pills, according to police in Marlborough, Mass. Kwiatkowski is being held on federal drug charges in New Hampshire, and authorities are trying to determine if he spread the virus in seven other states. Though federal authorities previously indicated that Kwiatkowski might have tried to harm himself in the days before his arrest July 19, the Marlbor-
Kwiatkowski’s hotel room. Officers also smelled a strong odor of alcohol on Kwiatkowski’s breath, and he slurred his words when he spoke, police said. Police also found a note that read, “please call Kerry and let her know I passed away. Tell her I couldn’t handle this stress anymore.” The MetroWest Daily News in Framingham, Mass., first reported details of the note. “It was apparent from the note, pills and alcohol that David was trying to harm himself,” Officer James O’Malley wrote. Along with those new details of Kwiatkowski’s recent past, his work history stretching back more see HEPATITIS page 8
Well-armed Maryland man calling himself ‘joker’ said to have issued threats PALMER PARK, Md. (AP) — Calling himself “a joker,” a Maryland man with an arsenal of guns threatened to shoot up a business he was being fired from, and was wearing a T-shirt that said “Guns don’t kill people. I do” when police confronted him, authorities said Friday. The 28-year-old man, identified in a search warrant as Neil E. Prescott, told a supervisor at software and mailroom supplier Pitney Bowes that he wanted to see his boss’ “brain splatter all over the sidewalk,” according to a search warrant. “I’m a joker and I’m gonna load my guns and blow everybody up,” Prescott said, according to the warrant.
The threats were made repeatedly in two separate phone calls this week, and investigators who searched Prescott’s apartment Friday morning found several thousand rounds of ammunition and about two dozen semi-automatic rifles and pistols. The weapons so far appear to have been purchased legally but are still being examined, said Mike Campbell, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Prescott was taken into custody at his apartment Friday and was receiving a psychiatric evaluation at a hospital. He was not expected to be charged see JOKER page 6

Bow blows past 13,000
NEW YORK (AP) — Faced with Facebook, Starbucks and Angela Merkel, the market chose to focus on Merkel. For a second day, the U.S. stock market powered higher after European leaders, including German chancellor Merkel, pledged to protect the union of 17 countries that use the euro. The Dow Jones industrial average blew past 13,000, a key psychological marker that it hadn’t hit since early May. It wasn’t that there weren’t any troubling signs about the economy. In fact, they abounded: U.S. economic growth was anemic in the second quarter. A measure of consumer sentiment fell in July as people worried about their job prospects. And Facebook and Starbucks dropped sharply after reporting disappointing quarterly results. But on this day, investors homed in on a couple of remarks coming from Europe. Most notably, Merkel and French president Francois Hollande released a joint statement saying they were “determined to do everything to protect the eurozone.” That followed a similar pledge the day before from Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank. Merkel’s statement was closely watched because Germany will have to sign on if any plan to keep the euro countries together is to succeed. As one of the stronger countries, Germany usually foots the bill for bailing out the weaker ones. For all the rejoicing, a longstanding roadblock remains: Strong countries like Germany want other European nations to agree to cut spending. Weaker countries like Greece are resisting. The statement from Merkel and Hollande made clear that individual countries aren’t off the hook, but “must comply with their obligations” — meaning a showdown over spending cuts is still possible. But the markets liked what they heard Friday. The Dow obliterated the 13,000 mark, climbing 187.73 points to 13,075.66. In two days, it’s climbed 400 points. The Standard & Poor’s 500 jumped 25.95 to 1,385.97. The Nasdaq composite index rose 64.84 to 2,958.09. Bond trading was also a study in optimism. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note jumped to 1.54 percent from 1.44 percent the day before. That means investors are feeling more confident about the economy and more willing to put their money in the stock market instead of low-risk government bonds.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock joins Mayo Clinic network
CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center announced Friday it is joining the Mayo Clinic Care Network, which will allow its patients to get second opinions from doctors at the renowned Minnesota hospital. Dartmouth-Hitchcock will remain independent while having access to Mayo Clinic resources through a subscription service with the cost based on utilization. In return for its expertise and prestige, Mayo is spreading its model of care. Mayo said the network recognizes that people prefer to get their health care close to home. The network’s main goal is to help people gain the benefits of its expertise without having to travel to a Mayo facility in Minnesota, Arizona or Florida. Doctors at network affiliated hospitals are able to consult with Mayo doctors and tap into other resources at no additional charge to the patients. For example, a doctor at Dartmouth-Hitchcock will now be able to send a patient’s records electronically to the Mayo Clinic for review. Some patients who might in the past have been referred for treatment at one of the clinic’s sites would instead be treated in New Hampshire thanks to the information learned from the consultation. “Mayo Clinic is one of the most respected health care institutions in the world. They are an exemplar see MAYO page 8

Conservatives rethinking wisdom of long prison terms Only a few lonely media outlets responded to the Aurora Mall murders by calling for stricter gun control measures. President Barack Obama and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper made eloquent statements, as did Mitt Romney, but neither the two Democrats nor the Republican called for changes in gun laws. Many conservatives and gun rights advocates took satisfaction from this, with some cause. Congressional Democrats have mostly given up the fight for gun control after observing the defeats of many colleagues in 1994 and of Al Gore in 2000. A large majority of states have passed laws allowing qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons, and no such law has been repealed. And the Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment does recognize a personal right to keep and bear arms. But it is not only liberals who have changed their stance on an issue related to violence and crime. Conservatives in increasing numbers are moving away from their decades-long support for long prison terms for criminals. Last year, Newt Gingrich, William Bennett and Reagan Attorney General Edwin Meese endorsed a “right on crime” initiative, calling for rehabilitation measures rather than prison sentences for nonviolent offenders. They joined liberals who have been dismayed that America has just about the highest rate of incarceration of any nation in history. There’s little question that the vast increase in prison populations from the lows of the 1960s to the highs of recent decades have resulted in reduced crime. Violent offenders who are locked up can’t attack people outside. But it’s also true that crime rates stayed high for a couple of decades after prison populations started their vast increases. Better police tactics, pioneered by Rudolph Giuliani and William Bratton in New York City and adapted by many others, played a major role. Meanwhile, laws requiring mandatory minimum sentences have resulted in lengthy terms for many who are likely to be no threat to society. This has led conservatives like anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist to endorse the Families Against Mandatory Minimums organization. It seems particularly unfair to many conservatives as well as to liberals that judges must sentence people possessing small amounts of marijuana to five-year terms when states with medical marijuana dispensaries have de facto legalized the substance. Some conservatives have taken
such stands after serving in prison themselves, like the late Charles Colson, founder of the Prison Fellowship, and Pat Nolan, a former Republican California legislator. Nolan points out that conservatives like Texas Gov. Rick Perry have turned down proposals to build new prisons and have stepped up drug treatment programs instead. Conservative legislators in Congress and the states have also joined with black Democratic colleagues in attempts to reduce the shocking levels of rape in prison. And conservative as well as liberal prosecutors have stepped up DNA testing and have exonerated those who prove to have been wrongly convicted. The most systematic expression of such views is found in the late Harvard Law professor William Stuntz’s book “The Collapse of American Criminal Justice.” Stuntz, a Republican and evangelical Christian beloved by his mostly liberal colleagues, argued that an excess of criminal statutes and undue power in the hands of prosecutors and police have resulted in an unfairly large number of people in prison. Looking back in history, he pointed that immigrant groups in cities a century ago were allowed to police their own communities, while today in many heavily black areas police and prosecutors are accountable to largely white suburban electorates. My own historical research indicates that rates of crime, violence and substance abuse among Irish immigrants in the mid-19th century were about as high as those rates for black Americans from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. But by the late 19th century, after a long generation, crime rates among the Irish fell sharply. Something similar seems to be happening among black Americans, so many of whom are descendants of the vast migration from the rural South to the big cities of the North in the mid-20th century. In any case, there’s a strong case to be made that stringent anti-crime measures that were, after some years, effective at reducing crime are no longer necessary now that violent crime rates have gone down. So just as facts have prompted liberals to abandon stricter gun control, facts seem to be persuading conservatives to abandon tough anti-crime laws they once championed.

LETTERS Many small biz owners being crushed by anti-capitalist policies To the editor, I need the help of others with understanding Dr. Thomas Dawson’s letter in the July 19 edition of the Sun. I sort of agree with him regarding the money elitists in this country who have undue influence on governing. Then he confuses me with his analysis that it is only a Republican nominee who wants to give more power and control to the elitists who run this country. Perhaps he has recently been in Africa helping poor victims of malaria due in no small part to liberals outlawing DDT without an affordable and effective alternative. Otherwise, he would likely know that there are more rich Democrats than there are Republicans. Plus, Democrat contributors like George Soros and George Kaiser make the Koch Brothers look like pawn shop pikers. Jeffrey Immelt and Jon Corzine are Democrats and elitists and do not care one whit about the 99-percent or the middle class. President Obama sent billions of taxpayer dollars to Wall Street and overseas companies and yet Dr. Dawson actually believes Obama and the Democrats care about the 99-percent. Got any real proof sir? The 1-percent that Dr. Dawson refers to include many small business owners who are being crushed by Obama’s anti-capitalist policies. Obamacare with it’s attendant taxes and regulations will further put a death grip stranglehold on our anemic recovery which is on the verge of a double dip recession. The top 1-percent pay 40-percent of all federal income taxes while the bottom 50-percent pay no federal income taxes. The food stamp program has gone from 28-million to 46-million eligible participants since our president took office. Unemployment has been above 8-percent for 42 straight months and counting. The number of folks collecting disability payments has exceeded the number of new jobs created since June 2009. It is debatable whether or not raising taxes on the 1-percent will add any appreciable funds toward our revenue shortfalls. What is not debatable, is that it will force more small and large companies to hunker down or move away.
middle class immeasurably with it’s 20 or so new taxes and burgeoning number of new patients without any measurable increase in the number of doctors. This tax will force companies to have their current workers perform overtime or hire temporary help to avoid the cost of health care for new workers. Doctor shortages and bureaucratic decision makers will cause a marked decrease in the quality of care along with skyrocketing health care costs. The Citizens United decision was the appropriate one so that all citizens can have their voice heard. I believe corporations are made up of individual people, are they not? Not all corporations spend their money on “right wing political ads” as Dr. Dawson suggests. Does he really think all the pharmaceutical giants contribute to Republican coffers? Please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t Citizen United protect the free speech of powerful unions by allowing them to contribute mucho bucks to “left wing political ads”? It’s not an ideal circumstance for sure, but I wonder just how Dr. Dawson would limit campaign contributions while not impinging on free speech? Respectfully sir, I believe you are tilting at the wrong windmills. I would like to correct Dr. Dawson regarding his parroting a familiar liberal lie proclaiming that the “GOP is the party of the rich”. Look it up in the congressional record cuz it just ain’t so. Other than official records, I gleaned my information from the American Association of Retired Citizens(AMAC), Docs4PatientCare, CATO Institute, Heritage Foundation and Alliance for Natural Health-USA, among others. I and perhaps others would love to know just where Dr. Dawson obtained information to support the assertions in his letter. And to the doctors’ last question, “Are you scared yet”? You bet I am. Four more years of our current POTUS untethered to any future campaigning will afford him his golden opportunity to play Marxist dictator and further dismantle our constitution. Perhaps he might even consider an executive order eliminating term limits for presidents. Yes, I am very scared. Russ Wiles

LETTERS
An evening of fun, comedy and giving
By killing even the most brutal of killers, we brutalize ourselves To the editor, Although we have not had a hanging in over 70 years, New Hampshire retains the death penalty. Even before that last hanging, the state (and colony) used capital punishment only sparingly. Even today, the crimes for which death can be imposed are limited to a few aggravated cases such as the murder of a police officer or “hired hits.” Currently, only one person is under sentence of death in New Hampshire. Many have questioned the state’s retention of the death penalty and several years ago the legislature actually voted to abolish it only to have the measure vetoed by then-Governor Shaheen. Since that time, a state commission voted very narrowly to endorse the death penalty, the legislature expanded its application, and Governor Lynch has indicated that he supports capital punishment. I can understand why many support it. If one of my friends or family were brutally murdered, I might want revenge too. When people are senselessly victimized, it is natural for people to want justice. I can see why some might think that killing a murderer might deter others and serve the cause of justice. Still, we need to abolish the death penalty, both in New Hampshire and nationwide. There are a number of reasons for this. First, while one might concede that a completely fair and civilized society just MIGHT have the right to get rid of its predators, we are not there yet. A wealthy white hires a killer and gets life while a black man with a public defender convicted of killing a police officer is sentenced to death. Race, social class, gender, and financial resources all play a role in determining who lives or dies. Second, even if a person “deserves” the death penalty, does killing accomplish anything? Executions only produce another grieving family. Justice can be served by sentencing our worst offenders to long terms of imprisonment. In addition, contrary to popular belief,
capital punishment is not a deterrent to violent crime. In fact, some states that frequently execute people actually have higher crime rates. For those worried about cost, it actually costs MORE to execute a criminal than to imprison him/her for life. Part of this is the extra security but the real costs are legal costs. Most people on death row had public defenders and taxpayers pay more for the appeals. While some think the answer is to cut back on appeals, even most death penalty supporters do not want an innocent person to be put to death. Even when the person is not innocent, death may not be the appropriate sentence even to one who is a supporter of capital punishment. So, appeals are necessary to prevent an erroneous execution. Indeed, in recent years, a number of convicted felons have been proven innocent. You can always release an innocent person from jail and even pay him or her compensation but you cannot bring a dead person back to life. As for public safety, we are not a tribal society where dramatic punishments might be justified. We have police. If a prisoner is violent enough, we have facilities so secure that escape is virtually impossible. Finally, by killing even the most brutal killer, we continue to brutalize ourselves. Executions just add to the violence. America’s continuing use of the death penalty has resulted in our condemnation by most human rights organizations and democratic countries. Canada, most of Latin America, and nearly every European nation have abolished the death penalty. In fact, many countries will not extradite an American suspect unless they are assured that American prosecutors will not seek a death sentence. It is time for New Hampshire and other states to join the company of civilized, democratic nations and abolish capital punishment. E. Scott Cracraft Gilford
LHS’s academic performance is dismal, so money goes to football? To the editor, I’ve done some research on Laconia High School. The results are dismal. A knowledgeable web site ranks the school at 127th statewide — 15th from the bottom! On math percentile grades, 22-percent of students pass — which is the average over the last several years. Statewide, overall, they are on the bottom 25-percent in percentile grades. A good portion of recently donated funds have been directed at major improvements in the science department and sorely needed uplifts for the school building itself. All good and well. Most of the remaining money will go to building a state-of-the-art football field. This is the rub! What will a new football stadium do for a failing school? Absolutely nothing! Will it help failing students get
passing percentile grades in math? Hardly. Instead, Couldn’t this precious gift go toward math tutors, extended hours in math classes? Also cash incentives for better grades. Bribery, perhaps! Also scholarship funds and outright grants to help students move on in their education? In many other ways this money certainly could have spent to actually pull up a struggling school not able to carry out a mandate to educate! These faulty decisions made by selfpromoting local businesses reinstate a premise that games on the field are what Laconia High School recognizes as a premiere event which all else is subordinate to, including academic success in the classroom.

Gilford will save $20k with purchase of used backhoe for public works GILFORD — Selectmen approved the purchase of a used backhoe for the town’s Department of Public Works for a total of $70,730. The price includes a five-year power train warranty. The money will come from a Capital Reserve Equipment Fund so there will be no tax impact for this year. Public Works was authorized to spend up to $120,000, said Director Sheldon Morgan, for a new or used backhoe to replace the 2003 JCB backhoe that currently has 8,677 hours of use. It’s trade in value is $12,000. Morgan told selectmen that he got lucky finding this particular 2010 Caterpillar 420E backhoe that has 518 hours of use. He said the selling company is including a four-foot fork package worth $3,500 at no charge. The five-year power train warranty
will cost $2,730. “We were in the right place at the right time,” he told selectmen Wednesday night. He said in his experiences, he has looked at a number of used or secondhand pieces of heavy equipment but it “usually doesn’t work out.” He said he thought the backhoe was initially used by a Florida landscaper. Morgan told selectmen that a new backhoe of the same model would cost the town $91,100 and the only key thing a new one would have that the used one doesn’t was a “thumb” or piece of grabbing equipment. Town Administrator Scott Dunn asked Morgan to get an estimate on how much a “thumb” would cost and bring it to a subsequent selectman’s meeting. — Gail Ober

LACONIA — Current District 4 N.H. State Senator Jim Forsythe (R-Strafford) has endorsed Laconia resident Josh Youssef, who is running for the GOP nomination for newly redistricted Senate District 7. Laconia has been in District 4 and is now in District 7. “The N.H. Senate needs a strong voice for liberty, and someone with the Main Street experience and vision to fight to get our state back on track,” said Forsythe in his written endorsement. “Josh’s insight and experience into the fundamentals of what makes
N.H. a great state, combined with his tenacity and conviction of conscience, will make him a great senator for the people of District 7 and he has my enthusiastic support,” Forsythe continued. Youssef is facing Franklin resident William “Bill” Grimm for the nomination. The primary is September 11. Laconia resident Andrew Hosmer is unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Forsythe has served two years in the New Hampshire Senate and has chosen not to run for a second term. — Gail Ober
JOKER from page 2 Friday, the Prince George’s County police department said on Twitter. “We can’t measure what was prevented here, but what was going on over the last 36 hours was a significant incident in the county. And we think a violent episode was avoided,” said county police Chief Mark Magaw. The workplace Prescott is accused of threatening to shoot up is located just outside Washington. It wasn’t immediately clear when the threat was to be carried out or how seriously it was, but last week’s mass shooting at a Colorado theater during the latest Batman movie — coupled with the “Joker” reference — put police on edge and gave the comments extra urgency, officials said.
“We take all threats seriously. And if you’re going to make a threat, we will take action,” Magaw said. Though there’s no other indication of a link to the Colorado shooting, police believe the joker comments were a “clear reference” to the killings, the warrant said. The man accused in those shootings, James Holmes, had his hair dyed reddish-orange, and called himself the Joker, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has said. It was not immediately clear if Prescott had a lawyer. His record in Maryland appeared to include only a 2007 speeding ticket. A search for Neil Prescott on a website that tracks users’ online activities led to a profile that appears to be him on mdshooters.com, a website for gun enthusiasts. On it, Prescott, see next page

Search in Rumney area continues for N.C. man
RUMNEY – An expanded search was underway Friday as rescue teams continue to look for Hugh Armstrong, age 72, of Clayton, North Carolina, who has been missing since he left for a walk from Hawthorne Village in this township at about 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 25. About 60 searchers are looking for Armstrong, including N.H. Fish and Game Conservation Officers, N.H. State Police, local fire department personnel and two canine search teams. The American Red Cross is on hand providing food and comfort to the searchers. The search continues to focus on the area of Stinson Lake. Searchers looked through the day Thursday and dog
teams worked into the night, but no sign of Armstrong has been found yet. N.H. Fish and Game Department Law Enforcement staff yesterday renewed their call for the public’s assistance in locating the missing man. Anyone who has seen Armstrong or has any information about his whereabouts is asked to call State Police Troop F at (603) 846-3333. Armstrong is 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. He has brown-gray hair, gray eyes, and wears glasses. He is thought to be wearing a white Red Sox hat, a red or blue t-shirt, and shorts. A photo of Armstrong can be viewed at http://www.wildnh.com/Newsroom/ News_2012/Q3/SR_lost_person_ Rumney_072612.html.

He was taken into custody Friday morning at his apartment in Crofton, near Annapolis, after a supervisor reported the threat to the police. Police on Thursday made an initial visit to Prescott’s home, where he appeared groggy and was wearing the T-shirt with the reference to guns.

GILFORD — Selectmen granted the owner of Lakes Region Auction Services, Inc. a second-hand dealer permit last Wednesday after Police Chief Kevin Keenan recommended the approval. Keenan told the board that two of his ranking officers had met with David Byers and he had fully complied with all of the licensing requirements needed to operate within the mandates of the town of Gilford. Byers operations an auction house in Paugus Bay Plaza, off Lake Street. Keenan told selectmen Byer upgraded his computer system at his own expense and, after working with Detective Chris Jacques, was able to format his new system so that it can provide police the necessary information they seek, when they need it. The goal of working with pawn shop owners and second-hand store operators is to allow police a system for tracking stolen property and most of the larger communities in the Lakes Region have pawn shop ordinances
that provide for information sharing. Selectmen had tabled the permit at their previous meeting because Keenan wanted to see a better level of software compliance. Byer was at the selectmen’s meeting and told the board the police officers he dealt with were very helpful and professional and “wanted to solve the (software) problems.” “I’m totally on board with what they need,” Byer said. Byer also owns Capital City Pawn Brokers on Union Avenue in Laconia. In an earlier interview with The Daily Sun, he said he came up with the idea of creating a bi-weekly auction to try and sell some of the things he buys second hand at his Laconia Store. “We have the resources to sell one item to every item in your whole estate,” Byers said, adding that he was willing to take items for his auction on a consignment basis. Byer will use a professional auctioneer and plans on holding the auctions at 10 a.m. every other Saturday morning at his auction house.
MAYO from page three of excellent patient-focused care and the highest professional standards. Dartmouth-Hitchcock has valued our long and close relationship and we are delighted to take it a step further with this formal collaboration,” said Dr. James Weinstein, CEO and president of Dartmouth-Hitchcock. The network was launched last year and also includes health systems affiliated with but not owned by Mayo in Arizona, Michigan, Missouri and North Dakota. “Health care in America is at a crossroads. Providers are seeking meaningful relationships that allow them to best address their patients’ needs while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of care. The Mayo
Clinic Care Network is about advancing longstanding relationships with organizations who share a commitment to improving care and value for our patients,” said Dr. John Noseworthy, president and chief executive officer of the Mayo Clinic. Weinstein said the affiliation is taking advantage of new technology to take better care of patients. Dartmouth-Hitchcock and the Mayo Clinic have worked on research projects in the past, said spokesman Rick Adams. The affiliation with the network will deepen that relationship, he said. The two facilities also are discussing a number of future joint projects, including expanded clinical and basic research.
HEPATITIS from page 2 than five years also continues to be investigated, though health officials say connecting him to hepatitis C cases in other states could be difficult. The head of Arizona’s state health lab said tests of people possibly exposed to hepatitis C in 2009 and 2010 — when Kwiatkowski worked in two Arizona hospitals — could indicate whether they have the disease but not how they got it. The virus mutates within the body, so linking any positive test results to Kwiatkowski would be more difficult over time, particularly past one year, said Victor Waddell, who has a doctorate in molecular biology and genetics. “It’s going to be very difficult if not impossible,” Waddell said. Testing has been recommended for about 4,700 people in New Hampshire alone, and officials still are determining who should be tested in a dozen hospitals elsewhere. In addition to Arizona — where he was fired from one hospital after testing positive for cocaine and marijuana — he worked in Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania before being hired by Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire in April 2011. Though he likely came in contact
with thousands of patients in those states since 2007, it’s unclear when Kwiatkowski became infected. He told authorities he was diagnosed in May; investigators say he has been infected since at least June 2010. Kwiatkowski, 33, is accused of stealing anesthetic drugs from Exeter’s cardiac catheterization lab and contaminating syringes used on patients. The case bears some similarity to that of Kristen Diane Parker, who is serving a 30 year sentence in Colorado after pleading guilty in 2009 to tampering with a consumer product and illegally obtaining a controlled substance. Kwiatkowski currently faces one count each of the same charges, though prosecutors expect to bring more when they seek indictment. Parker, a surgical technician, was accused of stealing syringes filled with painkillers and replacing them with used syringes at two Colorado hospitals where she worked. Up to three dozen patients were found to have hepatitis C after being exposed. Jeffrey Dorschner, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Colorado, said Friday that lab testing confirmed that the victims were infected with the same strain Parker carried. see next page
Chair of Democratic National Committee visits Laconia on anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid programs BY MICHAEL KITCH

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — President Obama’s re-election campaign brought star power to the city yesterday to mark the 47th anniversary of the introduction of Medicaid and Medicare in the person of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida congresswoman who chairs the Democratic National Committee. Appropriately, Wasserman Schultz was introduced by Matt Huot, chairman of the Belknap County Democratic Committee, who told her that his grandfather, J. Oliva Huot of Laconia, served in Congress in 1965 and was among the co-sponsors of the Medicaid and Medicare legislation enacted that year. Speaking to a packed house at the local Obama for President campaign headquarters, Wasserman Schultz reminded her fellow Democrats that there 102 days remained until the presidential election and urged them to spare no effort on behalf reelecting the president. Drawing a sharp contrast between the Democratic and Republican approaches to health care, she warned that the GOP sought not only to repeal the Affordable Care Act but also to eviscerate Medicare, raising the cost to senior citizens by $6,500 a year. Offering a spirited defense of the Affordable Care Act, Wasserman Schultz charged that “in their obsession with repealing health care reform, the Republicans have blocked out the sun when it comes to the reality.” The claim that the reform is a government takeover of health care, she dismissed as “a bald faced lie,” insisting that the law seeks to provide universal coverage through the private health insurance industry.
Wasserman Schultz is a mainstay in the forefront of the Obama campaign, who frequently represents the president and the party in the national media. Her presence in New Hampshire, which Obama carried by less than 80,000 votes in 2008, and in Belknap County, where his margin was a mere 395, votes, speaks to the significance of the state in the upcoming election. Wasserman Schultz said that part from the presidential contest, the races in the two congressional districts, where Democrat Ann Kuster is challenging incumbent Republican Charles Bass and Democrat Carol Shea-Porter is seeking to regain the seat she lost to Republican Frank Guinta in 2008, are both “high priorities” for the party. “This is an important battleground state,” she said.
from preceding page All were infected during a six-month period when Parker worked at the hospitals, though under the product tampering law, prosecutors don’t have to prove infection. Rather, the law applies to tampering with products with reckless disregard for the risk of death or bodily injury. “The victims were victimized twice. They were victimized in the sense that during surgery they were deprived of pain medicine, and then some, not all, then later obtained hepatitis C,” Dorschner said. “The charges that were filed were the charges most appropriate given the circumstances of the case, and that was proven by the
prison sentence handed down by the judge.” In New Hampshire, U.S. Attorney John Kacavas has said that one of the strongest elements of his case against Kwiatkowski is the fact that the same strain of hepatitis C has been diagnosed in Kwiatkowski and 30 patients who were treated at the cardiac lab during his employment. Asked Friday whether other states might have trouble bringing similar charges, he acknowledged that the virus does mutate, and that the more time passes, the more difficult it is to identify the strain. Kwiatkowski told authorities he did not steal or use drugs.

White House predicts $1.2-trillion deficit for fiscal year ending Sept. 30 WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House predicts this year’s federal budget deficit will end up at $1.2 trillion, marking the fourth consecutive year of trillion dollar-plus deficits during President Barack Obama’s administration. The bleak figures, while expected, are sure to add fuel to the already heated presidential campaign, in which Obama’s handling of the economy and the budget is a main topic. Friday’s release came as the government announced that U.S. economic growth slowed to an annual rate of just 1.5 percent in the second quarter of this year, as consumers cut back sharply on spending. The White House budget office also predicts for this year that the economy will grow at a modest 2.6 percent annual rate and that the jobless rate will average 8 percent. It forecasts modest growth of 2.6 percent next year — down from the 3.0 percent it predicted in February — before rising to 4.0 percent in 2014. Unemployment would remain above 7 percent through the end of 2014, registering at 7.3 percent, the report predicts.
“The economic recovery that began in 2009 will continue at a moderate rate and unemployment will gradually decline,” Jeffrey Zients, the acting White House budget director said in a blog post. “The economy still faces significant headwinds,” he added. The 2012 budget year ends on Sept. 30. The White House also predicted that next year’s deficit will fall just short of $1 trillion, higher than it predicted in its February budget release. The predicted deficit for 2012 actually improved by $116 billion, but some of that was because Congress didn’t enact much of Obama’s jobs plan. But the White House promises deficits will drop to about 3 percent of the size of the economy by 2017, in part through $1.5 trillion in tax increases over the coming decade. The White House report — released Friday afternoon with the Olympics poised to distract voters for two weeks — again trumpets Obama’s longstanding approach to tackling the deficit. It includes tax increases on families earning above $250,000, already enacted “caps” on agency operating budgets and modest savings from federal benefit programs
from preceding page Brown recalls that Jack Irwin, Beau Lessard and Bernie Lacroix, all football standouts,were members of that class. He recalls that when he was moderator in Ward 6 he would make a batch of macaroni and cheese for election day workers and says that one of his frequent present day customers, Ann Kalligan, who was then city clerk, always managed to come up from City Hall to check on how things were going at Leavitt Park just when the meal was being served. Brown, 81, says that his father, John F. Brown,
taught ground school at Laconia Airport during the 1940s and that one of the people he taught was Alma Gallagher, the daughter of Laconia Evening Citizen founder and publisher Edward J. Gallagher. ‘’We’re looking to be a neighborhood place for people to eat in Lakeport,’’ says Brown, who adds that one of the nicest things about the new business is that he and his family know so many of the people who come in for meals. ‘’It’s a lot of fun for all of us,’’ says Brown, who adds that the repeat business he’s already starting to see, ‘’shows us that we’re doing something right.’’

like Medicare and Medicaid. “Since taking office, the president has worked to restore fiscal responsibility,” says the OMB report. Republicans scoffed, noting that Obama has violated his promise to wrestle the deficit in half by the end of his term. “The president’s string of broken promises on our nation’s fiscal challenges weighs heavy on an anemic economy,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. “The president’s commitment to everhigher government spending and his failure to deliver on his economic promises have resulted in the fourthstraight budget deficit in excess of one trillion dollars.” Under Obama’s budget plan, the total U.S. debt would reach $16.2 trillion by the end of the year and soar to $25.4 trillion at the end of a decade’s time. “America can have robust economic growth — and avert a catastrophic debt crisis — but it requires a credible fiscal plan and the leadership necessary to achieve it,” said top Senate Budget Committee Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama. The government is likely to reach its borrowing cap — the subject of a fierce fight last summer between Obama and Republicans — late this year or early next year, which is going to require the next Congress and either Romney or Obama to act together to increase the borrowing cap. That is seen by many as an opportunity to force lawmakers to finally tackle the country’s major budget problems. Also looming is the so-called fiscal cliff, a combination of big tax increases and deep, automatic budget cuts slated to begin in January unless Obama and congressional Republicans step in to block them this fall or during a postelection session of Congress. Many economists say that if the government plunges over the fiscal cliff it could drive the economy back into recession.

Granderson & Yankees give Suzuki grand welcome at Red Sox expense NEW YORK (AP) — Ichiro Suzuki stood in right field of a packed Yankee Stadium, wearing New York’s famed pinstripes for the first time, and needed a reality check. “In Japan we say you grab your cheek, you twist your cheek, to see if it’s real or not, to see if I’m not dreaming,” Suzuki said. “And that’s really how I feel right now.” Oh it was real all right, Ichiro. Raul Ibanez and Russell Martin hit two-run homers, Curtis Granderson capped the scoring with an eighth-inning grand slam and the Yankees powFIRST LADY from page one ern New Hampshire University in Manchester.

ered past the Boston Red Sox 10-3 on Friday night. In Suzuki’s first home game with the Yankees, Phil Hughes (10-8) gave up three solo homers but little else in seven innings to help the Yankees beat Boston for the sixth time in seven games this year — New York’s best start to a season against the Red Sox since opening 6-0 in 1994. The rivals were meeting in the Bronx for the first time this year, the latest in a non-strike season the teams have met at Yankee Stadium. New York was returning from a rough 2-5 trip in which the Yankees lost Alex Rodriguez to a broken hand. The Red Sox had won just once in six games coming in. The loss dropped them to 49-51. “We’re two games under .500. We’re the Boston Red Sox, so if anyone’s thrilled with where we’re at they better reevaluate because I don’t like losing. I know everyone else doesn’t like losing,” Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. “We’ve got to play better, now.” With the Red Sox foundering in last place in the AL East and David Ortiz and Rodriguez on the disabled list, it felt as if the rivalry had lost some of its luster. Suzuki’s presence helped give the game some buzz.

GEESE from page one But, what goes in, comes out. A goose may defecate as after as every 20 minutes and leave a pound or more of droppings in the course of a day. “All you can do is rake it up and bag it with the lawn mower,” Shaw said. “It’s awful.” Dunleavy said that there are a variety of measures to deter geese, but some of the most effective cannot be used in the parks and beaches. For instance, geese will not cross barriers, either fencing or plantings along the shoreline, but neither are suited to public beaches. Dunleavy said that geese were a nuisance along the downtown riverwalk near the Beacon Street West condominiums until he strung plastic fencing along the riverbank and planted vegetation between river and the pathway. “That has worked,” he said. “But, we can’t do that at the parks and beaches.” Alternatively the turf can be treated with a grape extract that causes indigestion in geese, but because the product is expensive and must be replenished after rainfall it is not a practical solution. The geese come ashore at night, when the parks and beaches are empty, Dunleavy said, noting that some have recommended reflective ribbons and simulated predators as a deterrent only to find the geese become accustomed to them. Action motivated sprinklers are more effective, he said, but while they may be practical for the limited space of homeowners, they would be too costly for the city to deploy. Instead, Dunleavy intends to haze or harass the geese with pyrotechnic flares in hopes of driving them away, a strategy recommended by the Wildlife Services Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture and widely followed in states with large Canada goose populations. He said that he and Amy Lovisek, assistant director of the department, will set upon the flocks in the early morning hours to treat them to a fireworks display. “It’s not an easy task,” Dunleavy remarked.

OLYMPICS from page 2 three hours. Organizers said the cauldron would be moved Sunday night to the corner of the stadium where a giant bell tolled during the show. Boyle turned the stadium into a giant juke box, with a nonstop rock and pop homage to cool Britannia that ensured the show never caught its breath. The high-adrenaline soundtrack veered from classical to irreverent. Boyle daringly included the Sex Pistols’ “Pretty Vacant” and a snippet of its version of “God Save the Queen” — an anti-establishment punk anthem once banned by the BBC. The encyclopedic review of modern British music continued with a 1918 Broadway standard adopted by the West Ham football team, the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and “Bohemian Rhapsody,” by still another Queen, and other tracks too numerous to mention, but not to dance to. The evening started with fighter jets streaming red, white and blue smoke and roaring over the stadium, packed with a buzzing crowd of 60,000 people, at 8:12 p.m. — or 20:12 in the 24-hour time observed by Britons. Boyle, one of Britain’s most successful filmmakers, who directed “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Trainspotting,” had a ball with his favored medium, mixing filmed passages with live
action in the stadium to hypnotic effect, with 15,000 volunteers taking part in the show. Actor Rowan Atkinson as “Mr. Bean” provided laughs, shown dreaming that he was appearing in “Chariots of Fire,” the inspiring story of a Scotsman and an Englishman at the 1924 Paris Games. There was a high-speed flyover of the Thames, the river that winds like a vein through London and was the gateway for the city’s rise over the centuries as a great global hub of trade and industry. Headlong rushes of movie images took spectators on wondrous, heart-racing voyages through everything British: a cricket match, the London Tube and the roaring, abundant seas that buffet and protect this island nation. Opening the ceremony, children popped balloons with each number from 10 to 1, leading a countdown that climaxed with Bradley Wiggins, the newly crowned Tour de France champion. Wearing his yellow winner’s jersey, Wiggins rang a 23-ton Olympic Bell from the same London foundry that made Big Ben and Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell. Its thunderous chime was a nod to the British tradition of pealing bells to celebrate the end of war and the crowning of kings and queens, and now for the opening of a 17-day festival of sports — London’s record third as host.

lingering resentment targeting Romney’s initial comment — that problems with Olympic preparations were “disconcerting” — made it difficult for him to turn the page. A day after London Mayor Boris Johnson assailed Romney by name in a rally before tens of thousands, Britain’s Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the cabinet minister in charge of the Olympics, lashed out at him. “When we have the opening ceremony tonight and we tell the world that eight of the world’s top 10 sports were either invented or codified in Britain — and only two in America — I hope Mr. Romney is watching,” he said Friday.

Just as the show was about to begin, one BBC host noted that Britain’s team was ready for the games — “despite what Mitt Romney says.” Publicly at least, Romney’s campaign shrugged it all off as having little impact on American voters and moved aggressively to change the subject. His aides hastily organized a conference call with reporters to discuss his schedule in Jerusalem and preview a speech there two days away. British press reports laced with

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
Farm Stand Open Daily 9am to 5:30pm
Condo and land sales report We’re halfway through 2012 and it is a good time to see how a couple other segments of the real estate market are doing. Condominium sales are an important and integral part of our real estate market. Many buyers look to condos as a somewhat more affordable and maintenance free alternative to purchasing a standalone vacation home. No one wants to spend their vacation or long weekends mowing lawns or painting trim when they could be out enjoying the lake or a round of golf. The condo lifestyle also appeals to many retirees and professionals that don’t want to deal with routine exterior maintenance issues so we are seeing units used as primary residences. We are fortunate to have a large variety of condominium associations in the Lakes Region. They range from converted motel units and cottages to the upscale gated communities that have a vast array of amenities including beaches, boat facilities, walking trails, tennis courts, and swimming pools. There are condos that will fit everyone’s taste and budget. Just as with the residential market, it is also great time to purchase a condo given the large inventory available and the current low prices found on many of the units. So how is the condo market doing right now? Well, for the first six months of 2012 there were 76 sales within the 12 communities that are comprised of the towns in Belknap County plus Moultonborough. Most of the sales occurred in Gilford and Laconia as that is where most of the associations are. There were 40 sales in Laconia, 22 in Gilford, 5 in Meredith, 4 in Moultonborough, 3 in Tilton, and 1 in both Belmont and New Hampton. The average sales price for the units sold is $157,199. These numbers compare pretty closely with last year when there were 77 sales in the first half of the year at an average of $156,791 and 2010 when there were 70 sales at an average of $152,083. The peak of the condominium market as far as total sales numbers go was actually in 2004 (the same as the residential peak) when there were 381 units sold for the year at an average price of $190,424. The peak of the

market for pricing was in 2007 when the average sales price for condos came in at $209,417. We obviously have a ways to go to get back to previous levels in term of both unit sales and prices but we do have some pretty decent activity right now. The fact that prices are a 25-percent off the peak makes this a really great time to step into a new condo unit! What about land sales? Everyone that has a piece of land on the market knows how difficult it is to sell it right now. The lone exception to that is probably a reasonably priced waterfront lot. Is there such a thing? There have been only 50 land sales at an average price of $93,810 in Belknap County and Moultonborough since the first of the year and that includes commercial parcels as well. The average sales price of $93,810 is bolstered a little by a few waterfront and the larger parcels that sold. It seems that a 2-3 acre building lot that used to sell for $80-90,000 might only bring half that today. But total sales are up a little compared to the first half of last year when there were only 34 sales albeit at a higher average of $130,126. Back in the heyday (you remember that, right?), way back in 2002, there were a whopping 536 land transactions for the year although at a much lower average sales price of $53,435. Land sales have steadily declined each year since then down to just 86 sales in 2009, a little bump to 118 in 2010, and then 76 in 2011. The year with the highest average price was in 2007 when we had 185 land transactions at an average sales price of $164,001. So, no matter which segment of the market you are looking in; single family home, condos, or land, there are plenty of great deals and an even greater selection of properties to choose from.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis the deck. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes you have to stop “doing you” in order to become who you really are. It’s the ideal day to let go of some of your staple patterns and observe how you feel outside of your behaviors. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You value cheerfulness, but you don’t always have to be cheerful, especially when it’s just you. A wide range of emotions will color this day, and you’ll find something of value in each tone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Persevere with the things you believe in. There will always be reasons to give up. Those reasons may look like immobile objects, when they’re really shadows you can pass right through. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As the lawn mowers and leaf blowers of the world know, noise that’s acceptable at 9 a.m. might be cause for a fight at 6 a.m. Your excellent timing will keep the peace today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The day comes with a complimentary quiz. Unfortunately, the answers can’t be found in small writing or upside down on the bottom of the page. Instead, you just have to guess if you were right. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (JULY 28). In the next six weeks you will relinquish a tired grudge, and as you forgive, you are reborn. In August you repeat an action with intention and grow your personal power. Consistency may very well make you rich. You’ll discover new talents in yourself and others in October. December is the most romantic. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 2, 35, 29 and 50.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t need a lot of extra bells and whistles to get people to pay attention to you. People will pay attention simply because they are impressed with who you are and how you live your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re ready for a new view and may wander to find it. Getting off track can be a good thing, especially when said “track” requires that you burn a lot of fuel racing dangerously fast in circles, racecar style. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your personal touch is needed, though the others don’t know they need it until they get a taste. You could say that you create the need by being so awesome at what you do. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could fall victim to a case of the “what ifs.” The tendency to wonder about different outcomes doesn’t have to have a negative focus. Include some positive hypotheticals, such as “What if I succeed wildly?” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be happy for your experiences. Your maturity has brought you to a place where you’re able to not only live the length of this day, but also the depth of it as well. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Knife makers who sharpen blades on whirling grindstones must be careful not to get their noses too close to the work. To avoid a nasty scrape, put more distance between you and the job at hand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll come across those with more privileges and benefits. Hopefully, they’ll play fair. You like the game of life better when you’re reasonably sure that no one is playing with marked cards or stacking

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, July 28, the 210th day of 2012. There are 156 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 28, 1932, federal troops acting at the order of President Herbert Hoover forcibly dispersed the so-called “Bonus Army” of World War I veterans who had gathered by the thousands in Washington to demand payments they weren’t scheduled to receive until 1945. On this date: In 1540, King Henry VIII’s chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, was executed, the same day Henry married his fifth wife, Catherine Howard. In 1609, the English ship Sea Venture, commanded by Adm. Sir George Somers, ran ashore on Bermuda, where the passengers and crew founded a colony. In 1794, Maximilien Robespierre, a leading figure of the French Revolution, was sent to the guillotine. In 1821, Peru declared its independence from Spain. In 1914, World War I began as Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. In 1928, the Summer Olympic games opened in Amsterdam. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the end of coffee rationing, which had limited people to one pound of coffee every five weeks since it began in Nov. 1942. In 1945, a U.S. Army bomber crashed into the 79th floor of New York’s Empire State Building, killing 14 people. The U.S. Senate ratified the United Nations Charter by a vote of 89-2. In 1959, in preparation for statehood, Hawaiians voted to send the first Chinese-American, Republican Hiram L. Fong, to the U.S. Senate and the first Japanese-American, Democrat Daniel K. Inouye, to the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1962, 19 passengers were killed when a Pennsylvania Railroad Co. train enroute from Harrisburg to Philadelphia derailed in Steelton. In 1976, an earthquake devastated northern China, killing at least 242,000 people, according to an official estimate. In 1990, political newcomer and upset winner Alberto Fujimori was sworn in for his first term as president of Peru. One year ago: The body of the military chief of the Libyan rebels’ National Transitional Council, Abdel-Fattah Younis, was found dumped outside Benghazi along with those of two top aides. Today’s Birthdays: Movie director Andrew V. McLaglen is 92. Actor Darryl Hickman is 81. Ballet dancer-choreographer Jacques d’Amboise is 78. Art critic Robert Hughes is 74. Former Senator and NBA Hall of Famer Bill Bradley is 69. “Garfield” creator Jim Davis is 67. Singer Jonathan Edwards is 66. Actress Linda Kelsey is 66. Actress Sally Struthers is 64.

Sharon’s speech is suggestive of “pressured speech,” which is a hallmark of bipolar mania or hypomania. It also could be caused by extreme anxiety, certain drugs and occasionally schizophrenia and other illnesses. The person talks rapidly, nonstop, loudly and with urgency, interrupts and is hard to interrupt, and can be tangential (off topic). Mental illnesses commonly start in young people in their late teens or early 20s. However, people who are not severely afflicted can go undiagnosed for years, and Sharon is described as having been talkative and tangential for some time. The best thing “Speechless” can do is encourage Sharon to see a doctor. She might start by asking Sharon whether she has been under stress or feeling anxious lately. People with mental illnesses often do not perceive that there is anything wrong with them. If “Speechless” knows her friend’s doctor, informing him or her of her observations would be very helpful. Though a provider can never divulge anything about a patient without consent, it is perfectly legal and often invaluable for them to receive information about a patient. -- Vermont Reader Dear Vermont: Thank you for your expertise. Our readers were eager to weigh in on the various possibilities of dealing with Sharon. Read on for more: From Florida: Sharon sounds like she may have ADHD. I have a friend like that: very bright, entertaining and a mouth going a mile a minute, unable to contain herself. I love her, and she drives me nuts. She now can focus more if I remind her. Texas: There is a good possibility that Sharon is on diet pills or uppers.
Midwest: It would be better in the long run to tell Sharon the truth. She should take Sharon’s hand, look directly into her eyes and say, “Do you realize that you do all of the talking and interrupt me constantly? I feel like you have no interest in me at all.” This is the kindest and bravest thing to do (it’s called moral courage), and it’s better not to indulge her friend’s greed for attention. California: She might inquire whether Sharon has increased her coffee intake. I have seen people order a quadruple shot of espresso at a coffee store and get unbelievably chatty. That was enough for me to switch to decaf. Ohio: There is a possibility that Sharon could be in an early stage of dementia. I have two friends who had been great conversationalists and slightly self-centered. They became more so, dominating the conversations, veering back to familiar subjects, deflecting questions to familiar ground, rarely asking questions in conversation. To continue a friendship in these situations is difficult, but it’s easier if you understand the cause and limit the amount of time in each contact. Louisiana: You should have mentioned the possibility of bipolar disorder. Sharon sounds as though she could be in the early manic phase. Other signs would include weight loss, lack of sleep and out-of-control spending. New York: Sharon has a compulsive disorder. Maybe an intervention is necessary. Cut a piece of duct tape about 6 inches long, and the next time you see her, place the tape over her mouth with a big smile and say, “Now maybe someone else can talk for a change.” If she gets angry and decides to “unfriend” you, you haven’t lost much. She is too self-centered to be interested in you anyway. (Dear Readers: We don’t recommend this one. -- Annie)
