LACONIA — Gilford Budget Committee member Kevin Leandro filed an objection yesterday to a request for an emergency Town Meeting that, if granted by a judge, would allow voters to decide if the fire depart-

ment should buy a new pumper truck.

To date, he is the only one to do so.

Primarily, Leandro said the lease-toown acquisition of a $441,000 pumper does not rise “to the level of an emergency.”

‘My grandma shot me. I’m going to die!’

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — With her grandson’s terrified screams filling a suburban Detroit courtroom, 74-year-old Sandra Layne sat in a jail jumpsuit with tears in her eyes Monday as she listened to the teen telling a 911 operator he’d been shot by his grandmother.

Tapes of the emergency call were played publically for the first time at the hearing, during which Layne was ordered to stand trial on murder and weapons charges in the death of 17-yearold Jonathan Hoffman.

Layne, petite with graying red hair, was acting in self-defense, her attorney later told reporters.

“I’ve just been shot.

My grandma shot me.

I’m going to die. Help,” Jonathan yelled into a cellphone on May 18 from the condo he shared with his grandparents in West Bloomfield Township, an upscale suburb.

A few minutes later, he tells the operator: “I got shot, shot again.

Please help. Help,” before his voice trails off and a woman’s shouts are heard in the background. see GRANDMA page 10

Scientists say evidence of ‘God particle’ found GENEVA (AP) — Physicists say they have all but proven that the “God particle” exists. They have a footprint and a shadow, and the only thing left is to see for themselves the elusive subatomic particle believed to give all matter in the universe size and shape.

Scientists at the world’s biggest atom smasher plan to announce Wednesday that they have nearly confirmed the primary plank of a theory that could restructure the understanding of why matter has

mass, which combines with gravity to give an object weight.

The idea is much like gravity and Isaac Newton’s discovery: It was there all the time before Newton explained it. But now scientists know what it is and can put that knowledge to further use.

The focus of the excitement is the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle long sought by physicists.

Researchers at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, say

that they have compiled vast amounts of data that show the footprint and shadow of the particle, even though it has never actually been glimpsed.

But two independent teams of physicists are cautious after decades of work and billions of dollars spent. They don’t plan to use the word “discovery.” They say they will come as close as possible to a “eureka” announcement without overstating their findings. see PARTICLE page 8

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The deadly crash of a military cargo plane fighting a South Dakota wildfire forced officials to ground seven other Air Force air tankers, removing critical firefighting aircraft from the skies during one of the busiest and most destructive wildfire seasons ever to hit the West.

The C-130 from an Air National Guard wing based in Charlotte, N.C., was carry-

ing a crew of six and fighting a 6.5-squaremile blaze in the Black Hills of South Dakota when it crashed Sunday, killing at least one crew member and injuring others.

President Barack Obama offered thoughts and prayers to the crew and their families. “The men and women battling these terrible fires across the West put their lives on the line every day for their fellow Americans,” he said in a statement.

The crash cut the number of large air tankers fighting this summer’s outbreak of wildfires by one-third.

The military put the remaining seven C-130s on an “operational hold,” keeping them on the ground indefinitely. That left 14 federally contracted heavy tankers in use until investigators gain a better understanding of what caused the crash. see PLANES page 14

WASHINGTON (AP) — From North Carolina to New Jersey, nearly 1.8 million people still without electricity were asking the same question Monday evening: Why will it take so long to get the lights back on?

Nearly three full days after a severe summer storm lashed the East Coast,

utilities warned that many neighborhoods could remain in the dark for much of the week, if not beyond.

Friday’s storm arrived with little warning and knocked out power to 3 million homes and businesses, so utility companies have had to wait days for extra crews trav-

eling from as far away as Quebec and Oklahoma. And the toppled trees and power lines often entangled broken equipment in debris that must be removed before workers can even get started.

Adding to the urgency of the repairs are see POWER OUT page 15

Europe’s Airbus to build plant in Alabama

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — In the battle to dominate the global aviation industry, European aerospace giant Airbus announced its first assembly plant in the United States on Monday, a symbolic and significant step in the competition with archrival Boeing.

The French-based company said the Alabama plant is expected to cost $600 million to build and will employ 1,000 people when it reaches full production, likely to be four planes a month by 2017.

“We are going to create great jobs and generate growth right here,” Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier said at the convention center in Mobile, where many of the 2,000 people in attendance waved American flags as music played in the background.

“We know in aerospace, when we create one job, there are about four related jobs so we could bring as many as 5,000,” Bregier said at a later news conference.

“The management to the blue collars will be 100 percent American.”

Boeing already has a big presence in Alabama, employing 2,700 people in defense and rocket operations.

Airbus planned to build refueling tankers for the U.S. Air Force in Alabama, but its parent company, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., lost the contract to Boeing in 2011.

While Airbus had parts plants in the U.S. before, a full-fledged plane-making factory is a more significant presence and could help it boost its share of U.S. commercial and defense contracts.

The Airbus plant advances the company’s strategy of expanding production outside its home base. The company, jointly run by French and German management and with plants in several European countries, wants to expand in China and India as well as the United States.

The Alabama is also a way for Airbus to save face after losing the Pentagon tanker contract.

The companies have had a longrunning international trade dispute.

Each also has been critical of subsidies received by the other.

EADS shares have being climbing on European markets since news of the Alabama deal surfaced last week.

EXETER (AP) — New Hampshire health officials have confirmed six more cases of hepatitis C as they continue to investigate an outbreak linked to Exeter Hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab.

Altogether, 27 people have tested positive for the same strain of the blood-borne viral infection, which

can cause liver disease and chronic health issues. State officials suspect a worker’s misuse of drugs led to the outbreak.

Anyone who was treated at the lab since October 2010 has been asked to get tested, either at the hospital or at alternate sites in Hampton and Portsmouth.

U.S. manufacturing shrinks for first time in 4 years; production & exports down WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. manufacturing shrank in June for the first time in nearly three years, adding to signs that economic growth is weakening.

Production and exports declined, and the number of new orders plunged, according to a monthly report released Monday by the Institute for Supply Management.

The slowdown comes as U.S. employers have scaled back hiring, consumers have turned more cautious, Europe faces a recession and manufacturing has slowed in big countries like China.

“This is not good,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at BTIG, an institutional brokerage.

Though the report “does not mean recession for the broader economy, it is still a terribly weak number.”

The trade group of purchasing managers said its index of manufacturing activity fell to 49.7. That’s down from 53.5 in May. And it’s the lowest reading since July 2009, a month after the Great Recession officially ended. Readings below 50 indicate contraction.

Economists said the manufacturing figures were consistent with growth at an annual rate of 1.5 percent or less. That would be down from the January-March quarter’s already tepid annual pace of 1.9 percent.

“Our forecast that the U.S. will grow by around 2 percent this year is now looking a bit optimistic,” said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics.

Stocks fell sharply after the report was released at 10 a.m. But investors

appeared to shake off the bad manufacturing news by the end of the day. The Dow Jones industrial average recovered most of its early losses to close down just 8.7 points at 12,871. And broader indexes ended the day up.

Most economists aren’t yet predicting another recession. Though the ISM report suggests manufacturing is contracting, it typically takes a sustained reading below 43 to signal the economy isn’t growing.

Still, U.S. manufacturing, which has helped drive growth since the recession ended, is faltering at a precarious time.

Americans have pulled back on spending, which drives roughly 70 percent of growth. Europe’s economy is likely in recession, which has hurt U.S. exports.

And China’s manufacturing sector grew in June at its slowest pace in seven months, according to a survey released Sunday by the state-affiliated China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.

Manufacturing will likely stay weak for the next few months. The ISM’s gauge of new orders, a measure of future activity, plunged from 60.1 to 47.8. That’s the first time it has fallen below 50 since April 2009, when the economy was still in recession.

Fewer new orders reflect growing concerns of businesses. In addition to slower global growth and less spending by U.S. consumers, many companies worry that U.S. lawmakers won’t extend a package of tax cuts at the end of the year.

An option to be foolish & cruel There was never much doubt that the individual mandate in “Obamacare” was constitutional. As Harvard Law School professor Einer Elhauge had noted, the first Congress in 1790 passed a law ordering ship owners to buy medical insurance for their seamen. Twenty framers of the U.S. Constitution were members, and President George Washington signed the law.

No, the emotional claim that forcing people to buy a commercial product stomps on basic American rights was a cover for a political campaign to kill the reforms. The Supreme Court removed that fig leaf last week, but the naked politicking goes on.

The next showdown on the program is less dignified. Conservative governors have latched onto the ruling that states won’t lose their existing Medicaid funding if they don’t expand their Medicaid coverage as envisioned by the Affordable Care Act. Thus, they won’t.

In South Carolina, Gov. Nikki Haley’s spokesman defiantly announced, “We’re not going to shove more South Carolinians into a broken system ... .” Gosh, wouldn’t bringing coverage to the uninsured make the system less broken? More to the point, exactly who would be “shoved”?

Contrary to right-wing mythology, America’s uninsured are not the idle poor. They already have government-guaranteed health care, as do the elderly, the disabled, government workers and prisoners.

Left out are the modest folk who earn too much to qualify under the old Medicaid rules but not enough to afford insurance in the private market (and, by the way, who subsidize others’ coverage). The Medicaid expansion is for them.

Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Dave Heineman also opposes letting more struggling workers into Medicaid: “As I have said repeatedly, if this unfunded Medicaid expansion is implemented, state aid to education and funding for the University of Nebraska will be cut or taxes will be increased.”

An interesting threat, except for one thing. The Medicaid expansion is funded, certainly by any normal definition. The federal government

assumes all the costs in the early years, then 90-percent after that.

Furthermore, continuing to drive the uninsured to expensive emergency rooms for routine care is itself a major cost.

Speaking of affordability, the reforms make health care more affordable for government, as well as for families. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the Affordable Care Act will actually cut federal deficits. Here’s how: While the federal government will be spending billions to make insurance obtainable to those without, it will save more than that through other parts of the law that curb costs and add revenues, an estimated $525-billion.

For example, as Medicare now stands, the program must pay for almost any treatment that works, regardless of whether the same could be done for much less. The law prepares government (and private insurers) for more careful spending by funding research to identify $10,000 treatments that do just as fine a job as the $40,000 variety.

Obamacare is also bottom-line good for business and the American economy. It extends tax credits to small companies that cover their workers.

(Those that don’t are not penalized.)

Would-be entrepreneurs will be able to leave their corporate jobs, thanks to reasonably priced family coverage.

And everyone who pays for insurance will enjoy the slowdown in spiraling health care costs.

But why let the facts dampen tea party passions? “We can’t afford it,” insists New Hampshire state Rep. Andrew Manuse, now working with other Republicans to reject the millions the feds are offering for Medicaid expansion. “Thank God the Supreme Court gave us an option.”

Yes, the Supreme Court gave states an option — the option to be both foolish and cruel at the same time. Go ahead and stay behind.

Everyone else is moving forward.

Arts are alive & well in Lakes Region & we have season tickets To the editor, We are fortunate in that we bought season tickets to the Interlakes Summer Theatre 2012 productions.

Last night we were treated to a wonderful show “Nunsensations!” The excellent singing, acting and staging can only predict how wonderful the

rest of their summer productions will be. We recommend that you go and see this professional musical theatre celebrating their fifth anniversary season.

LETTERS Your presence at Music Festival is testament to artistic vitality To the editor, For 60 years, in concert halls across Central New Hampshire, faithful patrons of the New Hampshire Music Festival have enjoyed timeless music, then walked out into the night air in one of the most beautiful places in the country.

In recent years, much ink and effort has gone into the struggle of the Festival’s identity. Today, it is my estimation that the focus going forward is not so much who we are as an arts organization but how we serve the people of Central New Hampshire.

Rural and tourist driven parts of the state deserve a fine artistic outlet that enhances their visitors’ stay. Every summer for 60 years, the Festival has offered orchestral and chamber music performances of a quality found nowhere else in the state.

Year-round residents deserve cultural institutions that enrich the places in which they live. The Festival has provided opportunities for year round residents, including free community concerts that feature up-andcoming young artists.

Urban, rural, and special-needs school children deserve a rounded educational experience that includes intimate personal encounters with the Arts and performing artists. The Festival has been a consistent force in enhancing cultural offerings in public school settings for more than 30 years.

The Festival has undergone substantial structural and financial realign-

ment over the last few years, which, while streamlining operations, have taken a toll on administrative effectiveness and communication with our patrons. We are working to correct this situation. The Center Harbor development has been cancelled and the property is on the market. Communication between administration and orchestra membership has become open and honest. Most importantly, the Festival’s most critical partners — Meredith Village Savings Bank, the Bank of New Hampshire, and Plymouth State University — have reaffirmed their longstanding friendship and partnership with the Festival.

As the Festival’s executive director, I ask that our friends and neighbors turn their passion and love for music into action.

Come to Festival classics, pops, and chamber concerts this summer and contribute to the financial well being of our 60 year old festival! Visit old friends, catch a glimpse of rising musical stars, and fall in love with the Festival experience all over again.

Your presence at our performances is a testament to the artistic vitality of the Lakes Region. It is essential to the immediate future of the Festival, and will provide tomorrow’s audiences the experience of exquisite art in the midst of a beautiful landscape.

This experience is the Festival’s real treasure.

How can murder be tolerated in a civilized country like ours?

To the editor, In a recent news story posted on the Web by CNN, I read that Mississippi’s last remaining open abortion clinic may close soon. This is good news to those of us who cherish Life.

In that article, the management of the clinic stated that “...often women come to us in time of crisis when they are in dire need of help.”

The story also states that the clinic’s goal is to protect the health of the women who go there. What about the health of the woman’s baby? Is killing an unborn child the answer to a mother’s pleading for help. No matter the crisis, the murder of the baby is wrong. Life begins at conception. As soon as a woman’s egg is fertilized, a

child begins to grow, and within a few weeks a pregnant woman will know that a new life is moving, growing and living within her.

So I offer this question about abortion clinics, not just the one in Mississippi, but also the ones in New Hampshire and the rest of the country. How can murder in a civilized country be tolerated?

Also, I commend the Legislature in New Hampshire for over-riding Governor Lynch’s veto of the partial-birth abortion law. Imagine if you will what a partial-birth abortion is. This procedure allows an abortionist to end the life of a baby even as it is being born, fully developed and able to move see next page

LETTERS We is killing of suspects & innocents crucial to our way of life?

To the editor, On the eve of our celebration of independence, let us review our military posture in the Middle East. We are still in a war in Afghanistan after more than 10 years — in that sad, deplorable country. We are committed to remain there for at least another 12 years. Why? Afghanistan is not, and has never been, a viable threat to our country. Nor, for that matter, are any of the other countries in the region dangerous to our security, in the long term. (Note: 15 of the terrorists of 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, a so-called friendly nation.)

Look at the reasons why we should disengage. Number one: We are the most powerful, military power civilization has ever witnessed. We have at least, 2,500 nuclear missals, in silos, ready to fire in minutes! We spend more money (borrowed) on military weapons than all the other countries in the world combined. And the clincher should be: not ONE person in this country has died from a terrorist attack in more than 10 years. Those numbers should assuage suspicions and needless fears that still prevail in our country today. Fear we have lived with since 9/11 and still do.

Why do we constantly hear on the news the killing of suspects and innocent civilians as if it is crucial to our way of life? Simple: The military is the strongest lobby in Washington, and industrial interest will influence the making of daily news to infer a negative impact on our safety. We know that this is a manufactured lie to justify continued warfare, where none should exist,at all. This war is phony as the war in Iraq! Proponents of war, including our elected representatives,will spend millions of dollars to keep us in a state of near panic, to excuse the use of military weapons on an endless list of suspected enemies. (All with borrowed money we will pay back in decades ahead!)

Isn’t it long overdo that we bring all the troops home now! Even some of the brightest writers are saying: What have we accomplished in the last 10 years of war? We have suffered enough, lost too many precious lives! Call your senator or the president today. Take positive action. Telling your neighbor your opinions won’t solve a thing. We are tired of being sheep led to the slaughter by military supremacists!

Why do you think one needs rich parents to start a business?

To the editor, Kathleen Welcome’s letter (June 28) might show why she is not welcome!

She not only totally misunderstood the excellent and accurate letter Tony Boutin wrote about Pell Grants, but then is proud to be one who ripped off the taxpayers!

I guess a good question is, “what kind of responsibility does being a single mother show?” To me a 3.8 grade in the easiest subjects shows clearly the burden of raising a child while in school.

Who ever told her you need a Bachelors degree just to get a job interview? I have a MSME and no one ever bothered to look at the degree!

Why does she think one needs rich parents to start and earn at a business?

Many of the most successful businesses started and thrived on a good idea and willingness to work! My very successful and highly enjoyable business “Stephensons-Warmlite” (mountaineering sleeping bags and tents) started just with

gear for us, then helping friends, and their friends, in a chain reaction. Yes my parents were involved, by teaching me the standards of honest and hard work, and love for those who worked with us.

As for “need” of a degree, an engineering friend explained, when questioned “why did you waste all those years to get the doctorate? “A truly bright person has no need of formal education, but to others basic schooling to grade 8 is helpful, while those with average capability need a high school education. The much slower one will benefit from a basic college education, while those like you have to get a Masters degree: BUT, if you are absolutely incurably STUPID you NEED a Doctorate!”

Very accurate.

Note that most really successful businesses start with only the meager financing the originator has.

Yes, we should be buying local foods, supporting our neighbors To the editor I am writing to congratulate Don Walker of Barnstead. In his letter he outlined and defined the path to contentment and happiness. We should be buying local foods, supporting our neighbors in local business; THAT is economic prosperity.

And one more thing to remember, all profit is not dollars. from preceding page arms, head and legs, able to cry. Imagine what it must be like to perform a partial-birth abortion killing a little moving baby. Shame on Lynch for giving the veto in the first place.

Life is precious; please end abortion everywhere, not just in Mississippi.

I also notice with amusement, those fascist animal rights wacko’s insisting that everyone arrive at their conclusions. Just a question, was the woman who started this orchestrated writing campaign to sway opinion, the same woman who didn’t agree with moose hunting either? The same state government employee who found it necessary to hack our website last year?

Probably just a coincidence, but their perspectives are so closely aligned and flawed that it does make you wonder if people are using their real names when submitting letters.....hmmmm.

Keep up the great work, from one editor to another, GREAT JOB! Laconia needed a place where the news was actually the truth.

LETTERS You get your rights from humans; God’s law is not supreme here To the editor, In response to George Brunstad’s letter insisting the United States was founded under God, I disagree. The nation of laws we are now under was not founded under any God. Many colonies and states were originally founded under God but the nation that was born with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights was not founded upon any God or religious principle. It was founded on that age’s Enlightenment principles. The Constitution is religion-neutral, taking no side on religious matters. The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document and although an inspirational document, nothing in it is binding in any court. Creator as used is not even the Christian God. Creator is used in the “generic” deist’s way; “nature’s God”.

Deism of some sort was the prevailing belief among most of the founders and the universities they attended. Jefferson believed in a higher power but he rejected Jesus’ divinity, the virgin birth, original sin, miracles, the trinity, atonement, and the resurrection.

He even called Christianity “our present superstition”.

What is binding in all courts, legislatures and executive offices is the U.S. Constitution’s primacy. This country under its present laws did not exist until after the ratification of the Constitution and it’s Bill of Rights by the states. The U.S. Constitution signaled a total philosophical break from the past, not the continuation of the medi-

eval religiosity found in the charters and constitutions of the past. What is striking about the U.S. Constitution is what is blatantly missing. There is not one mention of God or Christianity. After nearly two centuries of heavy state-sponsored evangelism it suddenly ceased altogether. God is ignored in the Constitution while “God” can be found over 100 times in the major charters from 1610-1761.

Christ or Christian can be found over 40 times. But with our present “nation of laws” we live in, God and Christianity were completely left out of the founding text. The Bible is officially dead as holding any legal authority. No more religious test-oaths. No more state evangelism! Its a personal matter now as it should be.

Quotes by our favorite founders or presidents are not the laws of the land; they are their personal sentiments. No quote should be confused with the constitution’s clearly secular laws. More relevant are quotes from people like James Madison who led the crafting of the Constitution — or Thomas Jefferson who crafted Virginia’s groundbreaking religious liberty statute. For instance, James Madison’s letter to Robert Walsh On March 2, 1819, states: “The civil Government, though bereft of everything like an associated hierarchy, possesses the requisite stability, and performs its functions with complete success, whilst the number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion

of the people, have been manifestly increased by the TOTAL SEPARATION OF THE CHURCH FROM THE STATE.” Religious tests in the previous age forced all to profess a belief in the Bible as the Word of God. They also demanded a belief in the Trinity. All this compulsory medieval religiosity was banned in Section III of Article VI in the U.S. Constitution. The significance is that your religion means nothing as far as being a qualification for public service or religious liberty.

In Jefferson’s Religious Liberty Statute (1786), its passage in the Virginia Assembly was led by Madison against Patrick Henry’s law for establishing state supported Christian teachers.

Madison called Henry’s law, “a bill of sudden degeneracy”, the “degradation of equality” and “the first step towards inquisition”. OUCH! Jefferson’s law made clear that your religion neither elevated nor diminished your qualification for government service nor could any of your freedoms be diminished based on your religion. And you no longer had to go to church.

This is what the Religious Test Ban clause of Article VI does. In government, your religion is “officially” irrelevant. That means pagans, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Wiccans, and atheists are equally qualified for public office. In fact, Chief Justice Joseph Story claimed in his book on the Constitution (1833) that the Article VI was “not introduced merely for the purpose of satisfying the scruples of many respectable persons, who feel an invincible repugnance to any

religious test, or affirmation. It had a higher object; TO CUT OFF FOREVER every pretense of any alliance between church and state in the national government.”

Section II of the same Article VI also contains the “Supremacy clause”: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

As far as where you get your rights; you get them from humans. God’s law is not the supreme law of the land; the Constitution is and says so. The founders were influenced by Whig and Enlightenment views of natural law philosophy which were deeply rooted in classical antiquity. Those earlier Whig and Enlightenment politicians, both Christians and Deists, adopted “natural rights” from the pagan writers of classical antiquity. The truth is that we all have certain natures in common. As nations mature they go from being heavily weighted towards the needs of the state to one that creates a more humane balance with the needs of the individual. Men decide these rights in social compacts like our Constitution. Religious liberty and freedom of speech are two of those accomodations made by humans in their social contracts. God has nothing to do with it. The First Congress of see next page

Obamacare was all about a giant new entitlement for 30-million To the editor, On a 5 to 4 vote the Supreme Court punted the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) back to the American ELECTORATE where it always belonged. Democrats used slimy political tactics to pass the law and Republicans tried an end run using the courts to remove it. Two wrongs trying to equal a right. The court lavished NO praise on the legislation. All it said between the lines was, health care is too important for us to decide one way or the other. Justice Roberts did not want the courts image lessened again as it has been in the Gore v.

Bush election debacle by what Americas view as a huge political ideology divide. Roberts sole intent was to prevent a replay of that at all costs. He found the proper way out. In essence he said... If you want something DIFFERENT & BETTER in America to Obamacare then VOTE IN those who will provide it.

The Supreme Court DID NOT uphold the law on the legal grounds the Obama administration had argued (at the top of their lungs) for two years that it was built on which was that it was an expanded interpretation of the Commerce Clause of the U.S. constitution. Obama demonized and bit the heads off of anyone who suggested it was a TAX. Obama is now shown in ENDLESS past video clips saying “Republicans say everything I propose is a TAX”. Well, I guess Republicans were DEAD RIGHT. That is precisely what the court says IT IS. They ruled OBAMACARE is nothing but a BIG FAT TAX. In fact it is not just a single TAX it is TWENTY TWO new AND different taxes. I REPEAT 22 NEW TAXES. Worst of all, HEALTH CARE COSTS WILL NEVER GO down under Obamacare and millions will be tossed by employers from the health insurance plans they now have.

The FIRST goal of Obamacare was NEVER control of health care costs.

IT it was it hasn’t worked at all. It was ALL about a giant NEW ENTITLEMENT for 30-million people. A step toward complete nationalization of health care totally RUN AND CONTROLLED by GOVERNMENT that will follow the EXACT, BANKRUPT FOOT STEPS as Social Security, Medicare and the Post Office. YOU KNOW in your heart what I say is RIGHT! I will bet any person any sum up to my entire net worth (100 bucks) that I am and give you ten to one odds.

Obama care in INSANITY at EVERY LEVEL. 80-percent of Americans oppose the mandate, the majority of Americans want the law repealed even TODAY by a strong margin. That majority has not budged in two years.

Like myself two out three people are certain Obamacare will NOT control sky rocketing health care or health insurance costs.

Some Obamacare INSANITY to consider: 1. History proves without exception what ever you TAX MORE of you will get LESS of it. Thus, we will get LESS health care and LESS availability of it. Remember Obamacare authorizes 4,500 new IRS agents at a cost of billions to taxpayers while providing ZERO new doctors. Come on folks get a BRAIN will you? Think for yourself, if only this one time. We can do much better than Obamacare!

2. What ever you TAX MORE, you will get less INVESTMENT in it. Investors look for investments that rewards them more and government less.

3. The 2.3-percent NEW TAX on medical device makers SALES (that can mean 100-percent of profits) means less investment in health care, less invention and innovation. Less of those result in living with more PAIN. It means fewer new discoveries in medical technology, fewer new knee and hip updates and a general slowdown for ALL THE NEW GEAR see next page

wrote to the Danbury Baptists that the first amendment meant there was a WALL of separation between church and state. That’s from an 1800 letter, not 1947 or the sixties. And remember Chief Justice Story’s comment on forever cutting off every pretense of an alliance of church and state: 1830, not 1947. And be aware that Jefferson and Madison saw congressional chaplains and days of prayer as unconstitutional and never supported them. And be aware that the presidential oath as set forth in the Constitution does not contain “so help me God” nor does it mention any Bible.

Then there is this 1860, not 1960s, Supreme Court ruling, in the case of Melvin V. Easley: “CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ESTABLISHED BY LAW, and the genius of our institutions requires that THE CHURCH AND THE STATE SHOULD BE KEPT SEPARATE....

The state confesses its incompetency to judge spiritual matters between men or between man and his maker ... spiritual matters are exclusively in the hands of teachers of religion”.

James Veverka Tilton

the United States and 3/4 of the states gave you those rights. No supernatural iCloud did.

Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli of 1797 clearly says the Government of the USA is not founded on the Christian religion. Remember, as the Supremacy Clause states, treaties have to be in pursuance to the Constitution. The article states: “THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS NOT IN ANY SENSE FOUNDED ON THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.....”

OUCH! After being read aloud in the Senate and a copy printed for each Senator, the vote was 23-0 for the treaty. Unanimous votes are rare in Congress but here is one. And what a dandy it is. Legally we are not founded under God nor are we a legally founded Christian nation.

There was not one voice of contention in the Senate because the founding generation saw America’s founding in a different light than our constitutionally naive right wing.

Mr. Brunstad also repeats the religious right’s claim that only since recent times has faith in the public square been under attack. Jefferson

and the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.

The phrase “God particle,” coined by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, is used by laymen, not physicists, more as an explanation for how the subatomic universe works than how it all started.

Rob Roser, who leads the search for the Higgs boson at the Fermilab in Chicago, said: “Particle physicists have a very high standard for what it takes to be a discovery,” and he thinks it is a hair’s breadth away. Roser compared the results that scientists will announce Wednesday to finding the fossilized imprint of a dinosaur: “You see the footprints and the shadow of the object, but you don’t actually see it.”

Fermilab, whose competing atom smasher reported its final results Monday after shutting down last year, said its data doesn’t settle the question of the Higgs boson, but it came tantalizingly close.

“It’s a real cliffhanger,” said Gregorio Bernardi, a physicist at the University of Paris who helped lead one of the main experiments at Fermilab.

He cited “strong indications of the production and decay of Higgs bosons” in some of their observations.

Fermilab theorist Joseph Lykken said the Higgs boson “gets at the center, for some physicists, of why the universe is here in the first place.”

Though an impenetrable concept to many, the Higgs boson has until now been just that — a concept intended to explain a riddle: How were subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons and neutrons, themselves formed?

What gives them their mass?

The answer came in a theory first proposed by Scottish physicist Peter Higgs and others in the 1960s. It envisioned an energy field where particles interact with a key particle, the Higgs boson.

The idea is that other particles attract Higgs bosons and the more they attract, the bigger their mass will be. Some liken the effect to a ubiquitous Higgs snowfield that affects other particles traveling through it depending on whether they are wearing, metaphorically speaking, skis, snowshoes or just shoes.

Vintage American flags displayed on Gilford home

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Dr. Kelley J. White’s home in Gilford Village is drawing a lot of attention these days for its proud display of historic American flags.

White, who returned to her hometown several years ago after 30 years as a pediatrician in innercity Philadelphia, never lost touch with the town where she grew up, writing a book of poetry “A Gilford Offering’’ in 2004.

She now lives in a historic home in the village which at one time was the home of Alvah Hunter, who at the age of 80 in 1926 wrote a manuscript about growing up in Gilford in the 19th century which the Gilford Historical Society hopes to publish.

White says that she loves the history of the town and is proud to put her collection of rare flags on display to share with other townspeople as the community as it celebrates its 200th birthday. ‘’It’s something that has real meaning to me. But the real flag expert in town is Walter Stockwell,’’ says White.

Stockwell, who first met White on Memorial Day, says that he was thrilled to see the display on her home. ‘’It’s a great representation of flags from our history, especially the Revolutionary War,’’ says Stockwell, who has 150 flags in his collection and frequently presents programs for local historical societies on the history and etiquette surrounding the American flags. ‘’I really like it when people show their pride in the flag. I think that’s great. Anyone who shows flags is a winner as far as I’m concerned,’’ says Stockwell.

Among the flags on display is the Guilford Courthouse Flag from 1781, the Revolutionary War battle in which Colonel Lemuel Bickford Mason fought and for which the town, with the exception of a missing ‘’U’’ is named. It hangs above the front doorway of White’s home.

Other flags include the Grand Union flag of 1775, which is the flag which was flown in Philadelphia when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and has a Union Jack and 13 stripes.

There’s also a Betsy Ross Flag in the collection.

Interestingly enough White notes in her description of her flag collection that the Ross flag, which was commissioned and accepted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, lead to retribution against Ross by the Quakers. Ross lived on Arch Street in Philadelphia across from a large Quaker meetinghouse and she and her husband were both

‘’read out’’ of the Quaker meeting for their support of the war.

Other flags include the ‘’An Appeal to Heaven’’ flag, called the Liberty Tree flag, which flew during the Battle of Bunker Hill; the First Navy Jack with 13 stripes and a rattlesnake and the words ‘’don’t tread on me’’ from 1776, as well as the Green Mountain Boys flag carried at the Battle of Bennington in 1777.

There’s another Bennington Flag with a semi-circle of stars surrounding 76 which most likely flew during the War of 1812 as well as The Star Spangled Banner from 1814 and the 33-star flag which flew over Fort Sumter when the first shots of the Civil War were fired.

Of note is the fact that the Star Spangled Banner had 15 stars and 15 stripes as Vermont and Kentucky had joined the union but was returned to just 13 stripes in 1818,. see next page

Isn’t it good to know that some things haven’t changed?

GRANDMA from page 2 But it was what Layne told police when they arrived that convinced Judge Kimberly Small to order the frail grandmother to stand trial.

Officer Derrick Kassab testified that Layne walked out of her home with her hands up and “screamed to me, ‘I murdered my grandson.’”

Kassab was among several officers called to the stand during Monday’s hearing, and their testimony revealed a bloody crime scene in a community of manicured lawns, quiet neighborhoods and lush green golf courses.

When Layne walked through the condo’s front door, “she had blood on her hands, had some blood on her clothing,” Officer David Curry said.

He testified that there was also blood on a Glock 9mm semiautomatic handgun that officers found just inside the door. Nine spent cartridge cases also were found in the house.

Blood was found on walls and the floor throughout the home. Officers found Jonathan lying face down in an upstairs loft bedroom, his arms at his sides on the floor near a sofa.

“His legs moved just a little bit,” Sgt. Joseph Spencer testified. from preceding page

There’s also a Women’s Suffrage Flag from 1919 to which suffragettes added a star every year until the 19th amendment was adopted in 1920 after 36 states had voted to support it.

An autopsy revealed that Jonathan was shot three times in the chest, once in the abdomen and once in his left arm.

The teen also had traces of synthetic marijuana in his urine, tests showed.

At one point, Small granted Layne’s defense attorney a short break to allow his client to compose herself. Friends and relatives quietly sat behind her in the small courtroom, their eyes also red from crying.

Layne was being held without bond.

If convicted, she could face up to life in prison.

After the hearing, defense attorney Jerome Sabbota indicated to reporters that Layne’s actions were in selfdefense.

“If you listen closely to the 911 tape, he’s grabbing onto her and he’s holding her. He’s not letting her go,” her lawyer said.

The shooting was the second time this year that officers were called to the home.

On March 21, officers responded to complaints and found Jonathan outside. Layne told police she was having a hard time because her grandson was very upset and yelling. No arrests see next page condition to add to his collection. ‘’One thing that’s really neat about having so many flags is that you can use different ones in each new program so you’re not always repeating yourself but offering something new to each different audience,’’ says Stockwell.

In the two photos above, Barnstead police display the firearms, cash and marijuana said recovered from the home of Ryan S. Ashley on Wednesday of last week. (Barnstead Police photo)

Barnstead police allege marijuana growing operation was evident at Province Road home BARNSTEAD — Police serving an arrest warrant at a residence on Province Road last Wednesday, seized drugs and weapons as well as discovered an operation for cultivating marijuana.

Ryan S. Ashley, 19, was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of controlled drugs with intent to distribute, one count of possession of a controlled drug and one count of manufacturing a controlled drug, all class B felonies. He was released on bail and scheduled to be arraigned in in the 4th Circuit Court-Laconia Division on August 16.

Barnstead police serving the initial warrant arrived to find a large quantity of marijuana, said to be in plain sight, and secured the residence and

obtained a search warrant. Assisted by the K-9 unit of the Pittsfield Police Department and officers from the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department, United States Marshal’s Office and United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the search of the home revealed the growing operation, packaging materials, scales and bagged pills, along with a small amount of powder believed to be a narcotic.

Police also found weapons and ammunition.

Police also obtained a warrant to search Ashley’s vehicle, from which several items were seized.

Barnstead Police Chief Kenneth Borgia said that the investigation is continuing.

from preceding page were made that day.

Four days earlier, Jonathan, who was a senior at a local alternative high school, was pulled over in nearby Farmington Hills and ticketed for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He later received a 93-day suspended sentence and was placed on 12 months’ probation.

Jonathan was living with Sandra Layne and her

husband, Fred, while his mother and father were divorcing and living outside Michigan. Neither appeared to be in court Monday.

“This was a child who was dumped on her,” Sabbota said. “She killed a person she loved that she tried to save.

“There are no winners. No matter what we do to her, it doesn’t really matter. Watch her. She’s in her own hell. Nobody wins this case.”

I hear it all the time that Term Life is a better value, overall, then Permanent Insurance. It’s always a big debate and there are places for both types of Life Insurance, you just have to know where it all fits. Unfortunately, many, but not all agents believe that they should sell only one type of insurance because their company promotes only one type of product. However, your decision about insurance should focus on looking at the total cost, not just the beginning cost. Term insurance is designed for temporary use. For example, a parent with minor children might buy Term insurance until the children are grown up and out of the house. The insurance is needed for a “temporary term”. Similarly, business partners will often buy Term insurance on each other. If, lets say they were intending to sell the business within 10 years, they want to protect themselves in the event of the others death during that period (If the business was longer than 10 years permanent insurance should be considered).

In some cases the need for insurance is permanent. For example, a husband may have a larger pension that ceases when he dies. The loss of the pension creates a financial hardship for his wife.

So the husband purchases Permanent insurance because he could live three years or thirty years.

This concept called Pension Maximization is an article in itself, but is an extremely powerful concept; for retiring state workers, school teachers, and people looking at getting annuity payments.

The term is unknown, making the need for the insurance permanent. Another instance involves people who buy insurance to pay their taxes at a discount. Again the term is unknown because no one knows how long they will live. Such permanent needs can only be prudently funded with Permanent insurance.

Term insurance is less expensive in the beginning years, while Permanent insurance has a constant premium. The cost of Term Insurance rises with age. Therefore, someone attempting to fulfill a permanent need with Term Insurance could find the cost of the term premium increase as the person ages.

SANBORNTON — Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne called the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to uphold a national health care law, including the individual mandate, a terrible decision that smacks of arrogance and imperialism.

“We cannot allow the federal government to hijack our health care delivery system,” Lamontagne said Friday night.

Lamontagne, one of two GOP contenders for the state’s highest office, made his remarks at an ice cream social/ fund- Rep.

The study was commissioned by the Charitable Trust Division of the New Hampshire Department of Justice, which oversees and regulates charitable institutions, including the state’s 23 non-profit hospital systems.

Beth Arsenault again picked to lead Laconia Democrats LACONIA — Meeting June 28 evening at Hector’s Restaurant, the Laconia Democrats elected new officers to lead the local party as it gears up for the fall campaign.

“We’ve been sort of idle over the past few months,” conceded former N.H. Representative Beth Arsenault who is a candidate again this year, facing-off against either Harry Accornaro or Glenn Dewhirst in the race to represent the newly formed District 9 (Laconia and Belmont) in the N.H. House. “But with the election rapidly approaching, and the need to familiarize voters with the redistricting of N.H. House seats, it’s pretty clear we have a lot of work ahead of us.”

Arsenault, a veteran of many campaigns over the past decade, was elected to chair the Laconia Democratic Committee, a role she has played before.

She’ll be assisted by two co-chairs, financial advisor Charlie Smith, who is also running for the N.H. House to represent District 3, and Carlos Cardona, a former member of the Franklin School Board and a co-owner of a marketing firm in the Lakes Region.

“It’s really heartening to see young people such as Charlie and Carlos engaged in the process,” Arsenault observed. “I’m going to be relying heavily upon their energy and enthusiasm.”

The immediate challenge facing the local party is trying to overcome the devastating losses in the 2010 election which saw all of Laconia’s House seats swept

by Republicans. “There is no question but that many in the party have been discouraged,” Arsenault admitted.

“But I’m confident that when voters look at the record of the GOP over the past year-and-a-half they’re going to want to make an adjustment again.”

from preceding page issued its report amid litigation pitting the hospitals against the state in United States District Court. Ten of the largest hospitals, LRGHealthcare among them, claim that the state is failing to meet its obligations under the Medicaid Act by reducing reimbursement rates for Medicaid patients and taxing hospitals on their net patient revenue, which together jeopardize their financial condition.

Last October, when LRGH joined the lawsuit and reduced access to Medicaid patients, Governor John Lynch charged that “given LRGH’s decision to walk away from a large part of its nonprofit mission, I think it would be appropriate for the Attorney General to review whether LRGHealthcare, and its associated primary care practices, still warrant nonprofit status.”

For purposes of analysis, LRGHealthcare, which operates hospitals in Laconia and Franklin, is compared with four other hospitals with annual operating expenses of between $100-million and $275-million — St. Joseph’s Hospital, Frisbee Memorial Hospital, Cheshire Medical Center and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. Within its peer group, LRGH ranked third in operating expenses, second in patient revenue and fifth in executive compensation in 2009. Among the five, LRGH scored the lowest for quality of care and posted the next to lowest costs. Meanwhile LRGH provided charitable care valued at $15.3-million, second only to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in its peer group and almost $4-million more than

Exeter Hospital and only $232,000 less than Elliot Hospital, both larger institutions.

The study found that most hospitals follow the process prescribed by the IRS for determining executive salaries, but noted employment agreements, bonuses and perquisites, which can represent a significant share of executive compensation, do not necessarily conform to the standards of the IRS. Delaney also observed that while the report found that the compensation of the CEO correlated with the size of the hospital, the data revealed no apparent correlation between compensation and performance as measured by the quality of care, cost of care and amount of charitable care, which he called “a significant concern.”

Furthermore, Delany said that although hospitals are supposed to apply a range of salaries to set compensation, in practice they work from the 75th percentile or higher, touching off “an upward spiral,” by which CEOs are rewarded disproportionate to “measures of achievement” and others in the workforce.

According to the report, the compensation of the CEOs at the 23 hospitals rose 18-percent between 2006 and 2009, twice the average of 9.4-percent of three northern New England states —Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. During the same period average salaries and wages in the private sector climbed 4.8-percent while the pay of hospital employees grew 14-percent and all health care workers 12.8-percent.

Throughout New England, the pay of CEOs of nonprofit hospitals increased 29-percent.

GILFORD from page one seven tower trucks of the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid System,” Leandro wrote.

Leandro’s objection went to the five points a petition for a special meeting must meet to justify a special town meeting: the severity of the harm; the urgency of the need; if the emergency was foreseeable or avoidable; if the appropriation could have been made at annual town meeting; and if there are alternative measures that would eliminate the need for a special town meeting.

Fire Chief Steve Carrier and the three-member Board of Fire Engineers have said the special meeting is an emergency because the pumper the town wished to replace at annual town meeting in March has been removed from service since the electorate decided not to lease a new one.

Fire trucks are built to order with an average lead time of eight to 10 months. Leandro wrote that if the town was facing an emergency the the Board of Fire Engineers would seek to purchase a used or demonstrator truck “that could be delivered almost

immediately.”

When selectmen broached the idea of a used truck during their most recent debate over whether or not to recommend the passage of a special warrant article if it meets Belknap Superior Court Judge Kenneth McHugh’s muster, Carrier said there were no used trucks that would meet Gilford’s specifications.

Carrier said Gilford is currently borrowing a truck from neighboring departments.

Leandro also said the situation could have been avoided because necessary repairs were not done to the existing 25-year-old Engine 4 because “since it was scheduled for replacement, (they) felt it was foolish to put money into a truck that was going to be replaced.”

He also submitted to the court a second proposed warrant article that, if passed, would have allowed the department up to $150,000 to refurbish the existing pumper tanker.

“Ultimately the Board of Fire Engineers opted for an ‘all or nothing’ approach and requested the contingency article not appear on the final town meet-

ing warrant,” he wrote.

The hearing is on the Belknap County Superior Court docket for Friday at 1:30 p.m. The court has allocated 30 minutes and will only hear from those who have filed a notice of appearance.

TONER from page one Police said the four men were allegedly using foillined bags with false bottoms to steal ink cartridges from Staples. According to police, the four began their alleged crime spree in New Jersey in late June and are responsible for nearly $100,000 in thefts in that state alone.

In New Jersey the four allegedly stole toner cartridges from Staples stores in Connecticut, Massachusetts and on June 28 targeted stores in Nashua, Bedford and Manchester. According to Tilton Police, about one-half hour before they arrived in Tilton, the four had just been spotted by a loss prevention officer at the Concord Staples who then notified surrounding Staples stores.

Tilton Police said they were initially called to the Staples when a motorist called them to report an erratic driver who had just pulled into the parking lot. While police were in the parking lot, the four men allegedly went into the store but were were immediately recognized by employees.

Police Chief Robert Cormier said it was lucky that police just happened to be there.

When they realized store employees recognized them, one of them threw his “booster bag” at an employee and all four bolted for the door. One man ran to the car, one fled toward Tanger Outlets on the opposite site of Rte. 3 and, according to police, two ran into Shaw’s supermarket next door, one of whom hid under some cardboard and fled through a fire door.

Police from Tilton, Northfield, Belmont and the N.H. State Police began looking for the men, two of whom were apprehended trying to drive away in a car with New York plates and one who was found running along the railroad tracks.

Dwayne Dollar, described as a medium to heavy set black man in his late 20s remains at large. He was last seen wearing a black shirt or sweatshirt, gray pants and a black baseball cap.

Cormier said the three men are being held in Belknap County Jail but should the United States Attorney indict them, they would be moved to Strafford County Jail where federal prisoners are detained pending trial.

PLANES from page 2 “You’ve basically lopped off eight air tankers immediately from your inventory, and that’s going to make it tougher to fight wildfires,” said Mike Archer, who distributes a daily newsletter of wildfire news.

“And who knows how long the planes will be down?” he said, adding that investigators will take time to make their conclusions.

C-130 air tankers have crashed on firefighting duty before. In 2002, a privately owned civilian version of an older-model C-130 crashed in California, killing three crew members. The plane broke up in flight and an investigation blamed fatigue cracks in the wings.

The crash, in part, prompted a review of the airworthiness of large U.S. air tankers and led ultimately to a greatly reduced fleet of large civilian tanker planes. The 44 planes in the fleet a decade ago has dwindled to nine being flown on U.S. Forest Service exclusive use contracts right now.

Another aerial firefighting plane, the Lockheed P2V, has had some problems in recent months. One crashed in Utah, killing the two pilots, and another one crash-landed in Nevada.

A military spokesman said he did not know when the grounded planes would resume firefighting flights. The military planes had been filling up with fire retardant and flying out of Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.

They were used to fight fires in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota.

The U.S. Forest Service, which owns the MAFFS devices and coordinates the program with the military, expressed support for the decision to stand down the MAFFS.

Boston Post Cane waiting as Gilford seeks oldest resident

GILFORD — The Board of Selectmen is seeking to identify the town’s oldest resident, who will be the next to hold the Boston Post Cane.

Dorothy Mastine, who Selectman Kevin Hayes presented with the cane at a ceremony at the Merrimack County Nursing Home in July 2010, passed away last year.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn encouraged anyone familiar with a resident who might qualify for the honor to forward a written recommendation, accompanied by the name, age, telephone number

and brief biography of the individual to the selectmen at the Town Hall or by e-mail to selectmen@ gilfordnh.org.

The tradition of the Boston Post Cane dates from 1909 when Edwin A. Grozier, publisher of the Boston Post, distributed 700 ebony canes capped with 14 carat gold to towns in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire to be kept by the oldest resident of the community. Women have been eligible to hold the cane since 1930.

POWER OUT from page 2 the sick and elderly, who are especially vulnerable without air conditioning in the sweltering triple-digit heat. Many sought refuge in hotels or basements.

Officials feared the death toll, already at 22, could climb because of the heat and widespread use of generators, which emit fumes that can be dangerous in enclosed spaces.

At the Springvale Terrace nursing home and senior center in Silver Spring, Md., generators were brought in to provide electricity, and air-conditioning units were installed in windows in large common rooms to offer respite from the heat and darkness.

Residents using walkers struggled to navigate doors that were supposed to open automatically.

Nurses had to throw out spoiled food, sometimes over the loud objections of residents who insisted their melting ice cream was still good.

The lack of power completely upended many daily routines. Supermarkets struggled to keep groceries from going bad. People on perishable medication called pharmacies to see how long their medicine would keep. In Washington, officials set up collection sites for people to drop off rotting food. Others held weekend cookouts in an attempt to use their food while it lasted. And in West Virginia, National Guard troops handed out food and water and made door-to-door checks.

When it comes to getting the power running again,

all utilities take a top-down approach that seeks to get the largest number of people back online as quickly as possible.

First, crews repair substations that send power to thousands of homes and businesses. Next, they fix distribution lines. Last are the transformers that can restore power to a few customers at a time.

In Great Falls, Va., just outside Washington, patent attorney Patrick Muir found out firsthand who was high on the priority list. The area is sparsely populated and wealthy, with mansions spread across secluded, wooded lots. Muir had been raiding water bottles from his powerless office to supply his home, which is on a well that was not working. His 8-yearold daughter spoke hopefully of a beach trip to escape the heat. Dad said it was under consideration.

“Great Falls always seems to be the first to go down and the last one to come back up,” Muir said.

A Safeway supermarket trying to stay open with a limited power supply handed out free bags of dry ice. But after two days of temperatures in the 90s, the air inside was stale. Shopping carts with spoiled food, buzzing with flies, sat outside the store.

At a CVS pharmacy, Mahesh Tickle did the best he could. He had no cash register, so he made change with loose bills and coins stuffed inside a Ziploc bag.

Tickle filled what prescriptions he could and fielded questions from customers wondering if medications such as insulin had spoiled.

THE PERIO/CARDIO CONNECTION Emerging research indicates a connection between gum disease and heart problems. The American Journal of Cardiology and the Journal of Periodontology jointly published a consensus paper recently describing the nature of this connection. Periodontal (gum) disease and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease are largely inflammatory diseases. “Inflammation” is the process by which the body responds to an injury or an infection - the injured tissue becomes inflamed (on a tissue level this means redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function).

Inflammatory stimuli such as bacterial infections activate the inflammatory response. Gum disease begins as a bacterial infection, and these germs can spread from the mouth to other organs through the bloodstream. The body’s immune response to this challenge can cause problems as well as solve them. Problems occur when acute inflammation doesn’t shut down because the challenge persists over time (as in the case of untreated gum disease). Then the inflammatory response is “chronic” (this extended immune response differs from the early or acute response in important ways). Chronic inflammation results in additional damage to target tissues and may also cause damage to normal tissue remote from the infected site (such as the cardiovascular system). In this way, health of your mouth can influence the health of your entire body. Have you been checked for gum disease? A periodontal exam is easy and good for you – why risk tooth loss and health problems due to undiagnosed gum disease? Get it done!

New Hampshire Electric Co-op announces 2012 scholarship recipients

PLYMOUTH — The New Hampshire Electric Cooperative Chapter of Dollars for Scholars has announced its 2012 scholarship award recipients.

This year, NHEC received over 100 applications from candidates across the state who hoped to receive one of six $1,500 scholarships. The awards committee was impressed by the quality of the applicants this year, and was finally able to narrow the field down to the following six deserving students.

The 2012 Dollars for Scholars scholarship recipients are: Kristen Call of Colebrook, will be attending Southern NH University this fall studying Special Education; Katelyn Orrok of Wilmot, will be attending Babson College this fall studying marketing; Lauren O’Shea of Center Harbor, will be attending Boston College this fall studying nursing; Megan Bemis from Alton Bay, will be attending Eastern Nazarene College this fall studying Elementary Education; Whitney Paine of Moultonborough, will be attending Bates

College this fall and is still undecided about her major; and Camden WestCoates of Raymond, received the scholarship reserved for a vocational student and will be attending Manchester Community College this fall studying welding.

All of the 2012 scholarships given out are funded by The NHEC Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) fund. This non-profit organization is funded by members of the New Hampshire Electric Co-op whose monthly electric bills are rounded up to the next dollar with the proceeds benefiting the Foundation. The NHEC Foundation was founded in late 2005, and since that time has donated more than $1.6-million to support charities, scholarships and organizations that improve the quality of life in New Hampshire. If any NHEC members are interested in participating in the Round Up program to benefit the foundation, you can do so by going online when paying electric bills or by calling NHEC Member Solutions at 1-800-698-2007 to “opt in.”

Beans & Greens Farmstand Pavillion Summer arts programs mark 39 years of creativity at the Frates Center hosting ‘localvore’ dinner & dance

LACONIA — This year marks the 39th season of creativity at the Frates Creative Arts Center with Studio Art Classes for children, teens, and adults, Magic Classes for children and teens, as well as the Lakes Region’s original Children’s Theater Workshop. Registration is now open and will continue over the summer.

The exciting “summer programs” begin the week of July 9-13 with the morning Studio Art classes for children 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, and teens. All of these groups will explore a variety of drawing and painting mediums revolving around personal themes.

Each day will challenge the young artists to explore and especially to have fun in the process.

Afternoons will inspire youngsters to apply their creative skills to the new Magic classes. Each day will bring the world of magic alive with learning, practicing, and even performing for family and friends. This idea is a repeat workshop following a successful June workshop that produced 10 novice magicians ready to become members of the National Society of Young Magicians.

Children and teens who complete the workshop are invited to join

the National organization through the Society of American Magicians through the affiliation that Frates has had with society, as a member of the Order of Merlin Shield.

Afternoons in August bring more art classes for youngsters ages 4-teens during the week of August 13-17 and the morning tradition of the Lakes Region’s Children’s Theater Workshop.

During the week young people between the ages of 4 and 12 enrolled in the Children’s Theater Workshop will collaborate to produce a complete performance on the evening of Friday, August 17 for family and friends.

Each year the 4-6 year old actors have blended into the 7-12 year old actors rehearsals in a non-competitive and “let’s have fun” experience.

This approach to theater has been successful and has developed into a Lakes Region tradition that promotes the importance of working together, doing the best you can do, building self-confidence, and demonstrating a respect for each other as fellow actors.

For more information or to register call Joan and Larry Frates at 3646264, 528-7651, or visit www.fratescreates.com.

PET OF THE WEEK IS DIVER What’s a handsome dog like Diver doing at New Hampshire Humane Society?

Diver was acquired per the Last Will and Testament of his owner, now passed away.

Sadly, the home he thought he was going to live out the rest of his days in decided he should come to NHHS instead.

Diver is then, a little older than the average dog, a little sturdier, a little more world wizened than other canines here. He is wondering what happened to his life but is making the best of the situation. He hasn’t ever lived with children so we have that proviso for his ideal home, but he seems amenable around other creatures he has met at the shelter.

Please come and see Diver, take him for a walk on our trail system, you will fall in love. Call 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org

Community College receives $140k grant Lakes Region Art Association Artists CONCORD — The NH Commubased health initiatives and commits to of the Month on display until July 16 nity Development Finance Authority placing at least five Licensed Nursing (CDFA) has approved a Community Assistants (LNA) and/or Licensed PracDevelopment Block Grant (CDBG) of $140,000 to assist Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) with the purchase of new training equipment for their Nursing Program. The grant will aid in the expansion and renovation of LRCC Center for Arts & Technology building which will include a new nursing lab.

“This project will provide a nearby source of well-trained nurses to fill hospital staffing needs in the community,” said Kevin Flynn, CDFA Communications Director. “A total of seven jobs will be created from this grant, each providing excellent pay and benefits, and at least five of them will be made available for persons of low to moderate income.”

There are two business involved in this project. Lakes Region Community College is the nonprofit business/subrecipient of the CDBG grant.

LRCC is one of seven colleges in the Community College System of New Hampshire and offers over twentynine associate degree programs. The CDBG funds will contribute to the cost of equipment for the new Nursing Simulation Lab and high-tech training tools, specifically real-life simulation manikins that exhibit human symptoms. LRCC is committed to creating two of the seven jobs.

LRGHeathcare (LRG), the second business in this proposed partnership, is a long-standing nonprofit health care institution in the Lakes Region. LRG is the parent company to over nine community-

tical Nurses (LPN) into the Nursing Program at LRCC to receive Registered Nurse (RN) credentials.

The NH Office of Energy and Planning predicts that by 2030, 36% of Belknap County’s population will be 65 or older and that in 10-15 years almost half of their nursing staff will have retired. “Quality training of nurses is important, especially for a community where there is a gap to fill and a demand to meet,” said Flynn.

The CDBG program funds provide housing and create jobs primarily for low- and moderate-income people.

Funds are provided to the state of New Hampshire by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and administered by CDFA. Each project is evaluated on several criteria, including impact on low- and moderate-income residents and the acquisition of matching funding.

CDFA supports the development of vibrant and resilient communities by providing resources for community development efforts. CDFA, created by the Legislature in 1983, is a nonprofit public instrumentality of the State of New Hampshire. CDFA administers nearly $57 million in funding resources, which includes a combination of state tax credits and federal Community Development Block Grant, Neighborhood Stabilization, and Energy Reduction Funds. For more information about CDFA and its programs visit www. nhcdfa.org or call 603-226-2170.

LACONIA — The Lakes Region Art Association established the Artists of the Month program in late 2011.

As the Association draws from the entire Lakes Region, this program is aimed at exposing the Association and its members work across the entire region.

Each month, a jury selects from submissions by member artists to be featured at various businesses in the Lakes Region. These original pieces might be oil or acrylic paintings, watercolors, pastels, or collages. In the short time that the program has been in place the number of display locations has

increased from three to seven, according to Judy Palfrey who introduced the project to the Association.

The following member artists will each have art work on display until July 16 at the following Lakes Region locations: Rob Caron, Meredith Saving Bank, Moultonborough; Barbara Ganem, Belknap Mill, Laconia; Annette Hutchins, Franklin Savings Bank Gilford; Gisela Langsten, Northway Bank, Meredith; Kazuko Raymond, Franklin Savings Bank, Franklin; Marlene Witham, Northway Savings Bank, Laconia and Marcy Yerkes, Bank of New Hampshire, Gilford.

An 34. sin

by Chad Carpenter

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Admit that you are only human. Sometimes you need a little help, and don’t be afraid to ask for it. A break from the action this afternoon helps you to clear your head. Afterward, you’ll get quickly back on track.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’re usually sensitive to what others need. Turn those sensors on yourself.

Recognize when you are starting to get stressed, and quickly take action to relieve that stress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The world hasn’t changed too much from the way it was yesterday, but your perception of it has. This is a temporary state of being. Feelings and thoughts pass. Try not to take any of it too seriously.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll have social choices today. Don’t pay heed to discouraging people who seem to revel in planting doubts. Stay in the company of those whose thoughts and attitudes are generally positive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re powerful, but sometimes you forget this. Identify the problems, fears or obstacles that make you feel helpless, and brainstorm possible (and impossible) solutions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 3).

Home is where you live and love; it’s also an investment. You’ll add value to that investment in July. Loved ones will engage in their best behavior to win your affection in August. September brings speedy developments on the career front. Children and elders crave your attention in October. There’s a windfall in December. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 20, 12, 34 and 6.

Sa

TUNDRA

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you’re willing to explore and experiment, life becomes a big adventure.

Try things at least once before making a determination as to whether it’s really for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Things are about to ramp up for you. Accept the challenge. You’ll prove that you can do more than you did before. Soon the production level of yesterday will seem like mere child’s play.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s no shame in your game. You’re willing to lose the ego and put yourself out there just to learn. Because you have no resistance to the new, you’ll quickly gain useful skills.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Excuses are the enemy of positive thinking. Abolish blame (especially self-blame), and you’ll see what’s really going on that needs to be handled.

You’ll find immediate solutions to whatever ails you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mind’s eye is extra powerful today. Use visualization to make something interesting happen in your world. Imagining it won’t make it happen, but it puts the odds in your favor.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your aim is straightforward. There are only a few things that absolutely must be accomplished today, and relaxation is one of them. You’ll be focused, completing one task before moving on to another.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Flexible thinking helps you finish what you set out to do since you probably won’t be able to accomplish it the way you had planned. Stay open-minded, and you’ll definitely find another way.

Come in to purchase your delicious shortcake and then browse through the various tables of “Attic Treasures”, Books, Cutlery, Crafts, and a Children’s Table. There is sure to be something for everyone! The church will be open directly after the Town Parade, which is scheduled to start at 10 a.m..

You will want to come as soon as you can as we often sell out early!

The will also be an Open House at the Gilmanton Corner’s Church, featuring displays of the activities and an opportunity to meet Pastor Chris. Other members of our Church “Family” will also be available to answer questions you may have.

Starting on July 13, the church has opened a “Dump Run Café” that will be open on Wednesdays. At this cafe

we will serve free coffee and delicious “Goodies” from 8 to 11 a.m.. The “Goodies” are home-baked by Lauralynn Morrissey, who is graciously donating them each Wednesday. This is a great way to gather with your neighbors and friends to visit and chat.

Looking ahead to more July events, the church’s Thrift Store workers are planning a Yard Sale on July 14 at the Iron Works Church on Route #140 in Gilmanton Iron Works from 8 a.m.. to 2 p.m.. The proceeds from this sale will benefit the Food Pantry. Please contact Jane Sisti at 364-7437 if you have any items to donate for the sale. Later on in the day the church will host its famous Chicken & Rib Barbecue, which will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m.. This event will also be held at the church in the Gilmanton Iron Works. We invite you all to come enjoy the great food and company.

In addition to the chicken and ribs, we will be serving home-made potato salad,

cold slaw, rolls, home-made beans, and ice cream at our dessert table! The cost will be $10/adults, $8/seniors, $6/children (6 to 12 years), or a $30 maximum for an immediate family (parent/s and their children).

Later on in the month, the church will be hosting a Vacation Bible Camp.

Sonrise National Park Vacation Bible School will be held at our Church on Route #140 in the Iron Works. The camp runs July 29th through August 3rd from 8:45 a.m. to noon. This camp will point your kids to Jesus in a fun and exciting way. Kids will learn the most important survival skill of all — knowing that

they can always depend on Jesus and his promises of true peace, true riches, true love and true hope. The camp will include music, games, wilderness crafts and tasty snacks. Parents are invited to come back on Friday for the closing ceremony at 5:30. It will include gifts for all our campers and a Taco bar. For more information, call Sharona at 937-0120.

The Gilmanton Community Church is now on its summer hours at the Center Church Sanctuary on Route #107. Hymn Sing is at 9:15 a.m. followed by our Worship Service at 9:30.

Refreshments and Fellowship will follow every service.

Middle school students raise money for Bristol Community Services

Students at the Newfound Memorial Middle School showed their community spirit and physical fitness by participating in the Bear Crawl Fun Run on May 22. The one mile and two mile courses were run by 110 students, who, through entry fees and donations raised $656 for Bristol Community Services.

Jason Robert, the 8th grade science teacher at NMMS organized the event. Mr. Robert, along with students Noah Fogg, Cole Eastman and Andrea Markiewicz delivered the donation to Diane Payne, the office manager of Bristol Community Services. Bristol Community Services is located at 21 N. Main St. in Bristol, NH and houses a thrift shop and food pantry. The thrift shop is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9-2 and the last Saturday of the month from 9-12. There are lots of great buys for the thrifty shopper and donations of in-season clothing, linens, toys, and household items are accepted when the store is open. The food pantry serves Newfound area residents from Alexandria, Bridgewater, Bristol, Groton and Hebron and is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9-1:30. (Courtesy photo)

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, July 3, 2012— Page 29

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My daughter has been married to a drug abuser for 10 years. “Rob” can’t keep a job and sells everything on the premises for money to buy more drugs. He even took his 9-year-old daughter with him to trade her TV and other electronics for narcotics.

Rob has been in rehab three times and makes lots of promises, but always goes back to the drugs. My daughter has a responsible job. She has taken Rob’s name off of the checking accounts and credit cards, and she hides her purse and jewelry every night. She was unable to keep up the house payments, and they are in foreclosure.

She is currently living in an apartment, and Rob lives with his parents. With my financial support, she has filed for divorce. So far, I have given her more than $3,000. She lives in another state and has emotional support from her siblings and us by phone.

Here’s the problem. I feel like she is wavering. She keeps talking about what a great dad Rob is when he’s sober and how hard the separation has been on the kids. I know how difficult it is for her to be a single mom. But I have told her that if she does not go through with the divorce, I will not help her again. Is this too harsh? I want to be there for her, but I have to work, and my income isn’t that big.

Any advice on this situation? -- Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-inLaw Dear Mom: You are not obligated to support your daughter regardless of the circumstances, but we are certain your financial assistance helps her to manage as a single parent. Still, she undoubtedly loves her husband and wants her children to have a full-time father. And it’s easier to forget the hardships once you are separated from them. Instead of issuing ultimatums, urge her to get into counseling to figure out why she continues to be drawn to someone so needy and incapable of being a true partner to her. Help her to be

stronger so her choices will be better.

Dear Annie: During the past year, I have noticed that my 73-yearold mother-in-law seems to be losing her memory and becoming very rattled. She forgets where her son works, what day she is having dinner with us, and where her grandchildren attend school, although she has been there a hundred times. She writes everything down on pieces of paper that she sticks in her purse or strews about the house.

Her friends convinced her to see her internist, which she did.

He gave her a series of general questions, which she answered and from which he determined that she was absolutely fine. Mom was thrilled.

How can we get her to see another doctor when she is now convinced that she is perfectly healthy? We know something is going on, and it is just getting worse. -- Want To Help Dear Want: Your mother’s doctor should have tested her for executive functioning, which is probably a different test than the one he administered. However, it still may have been possible for her to pass any test if she was feeling OK that day and not under any stress. Your mother could benefit from seeing a geriatrician, and we recommend you have a referral handy for the next time she is concerned enough about her memory that she is amenable.

Dear Annie: My heart went out to “Worried Woman,” the 54-yearold woman who has no family or friends.

Please tell her to contact the Red Hat Society, an international organization for women of any age, single or married. The goal is friendship and fun. We wear red hats and purple clothes to all of our activities, including outings, dinners and travel. She can find a chapter in her area by searching redhatsociety.com. -- M.L.
