HOOKSETT (AP) — New Hampshire police say a man faked a brain injury to get a nurse to change his adult diaper. Hooksett police said Thursday that Eric Carrier is facing charges of indecent exposure and lewdness. The 23-year-old is accused of pretending to have a brain injury to lure the woman to his home, claiming he needed help changing his adult diaper. Police say more people have come forward to say he had taken advantage of them in the same way. Police say Carrier placed an ad on Craigslist seeking home health care. Investigators say nurses would change his diaper, not knowing he was scamming them. Carrier was arrested Monday and is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 1. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In an unforgiving display of partisanship, the House approved emergency legislation Friday night to avoid an unprecedented government default and the Senate scuttled it less than two hours later. The final outcome — with the White House and Senate Democrats calling anew for compromise while criticizing Republicans as Tuesday’s deadline drew near — was anything but certain. “We are almost out of time” for a compromise, warned President Barack Obama as U.S. financial markets trembled at the prospect of economic chaos next week. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average was down for a sixth straight session. The House vote was 218-210, almost entirely along party lines, on a Republi-
can-drafted bill to provide a quick $900 billion increase in U.S. borrowing authority — essential to allow the government to continue paying all its bills — along with $917 billion in cuts from federal spending. It had been rewritten hastily overnight to say that before any additional increase in the debt limit could take place, Congress must approve a balanced budget-amendment to the Constitution and send it to the states for ratification. That marked a concession to tea party-backed conservatives and others in the rank and file who had thwarted House Speaker John Boehner’s attempt to pass the bill Thursday night. “Today we have a chance to end this debt limit crisis,” Boehner declared, his endgame strategy upended by rebels within his own party.
But the changes he made to the House GOP bill further alienated Democrats. And they complicated prospects of a compromise that could clear both houses and win Obama’s signature by next Tuesday’s deadline. At the other end of the Capitol, Senate Democrats scuttled the measure without so much as a debate on its merits. The vote was 59-41, with all Democrats, two independents and six Republicans joining in opposition. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had an alternative measure to raise the debt limit by $2.4 trillion, enough to meet Obama’s terms that it tide the Treasury over until 2013. Reid invited Republicans to suggest see DEBT CEILING page 9
WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy expanded at a meager 1.3 percent annual rate in the spring after scarcely growing at all in the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department said Friday. The combined growth for the first six months of the year was the weakest since the recession ended two years ago. The government revised the January-March figures to show just 0.4 percent growth, down sharply from its previous estimate of 1.9 percent. The data was much worse than econo-
mists expected and caused many of them to lower their growth forecasts for the rest of this year. “This is not a death sentence for the recovery, but it does raise some concerns,” said Carl Riccadonna, an economist at Deutsche Bank. He said the current level of growth is too weak to keep the unemployment rate from rising. High gas prices and scant income gains have forced Americans to pull back sharply on spending. Consumer spending only increased 0.1 percent in the April-June
quarter, the smallest gain in two years. Government spending fell for the third straight quarter. Stocks dropped in early trading, then regained some lost ground. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 56 points, and broader indexes also declined. The sharp slowdown means the economy will likely grow this year at a weaker pace than last year, when it expanded by 3 percent. Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS, said the economy will likely expand see ECONOMY page 8

Search for missing 11-year-old continues; 300 homes have been visited thus far STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — A new cellular phone tower is being put up in far northern New Hampshire so law enforcement officials investigating the disappearance of an 11-yearold girl can communicate better with each other, a member of the state attorney general’s office said Friday. Celina Cass was last seen Monday night at her home computer in Stewartstown, a mile from the Canadian border. Jane Young of the New Hampshire attorney general’s office said Friday that investigators have knocked on about 300 doors in the area. “That canvass will continue; it will expand,” she said at a news conference. Authorities are following up on about 225 tips and will continue searching by air and on foot, she said. A dog trained to search in water also was used. The tower will help investigators communicate by instant message, she said. “We simply don’t have a lot of answers in this case,” Young said. FBI agent Kieran Ramsey said tips have come from as far away as North Carolina and Illinois. A new poster was distributed with several photos of Celina. A statement from Celina’s relatives urged anyone with any information about her disappearance to come forward. The family had their own message for Celina: “If you can hear this now, please know how much we love and we miss you. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers. We will not stop searching for you until you are back in our arms.” Police have said there is no indication Celina ran away or that someone took her, though members of an FBI
team that specializes in child abductions are among the numerous investigators working on the case. Investigators were gathered at the Stewartstown Community School, and residents were being asked to wear pink and purple ribbons as a show of solidarity. Shannon Towle, who runs a convenience store across the street from Cass’s home, said residents aren’t giving up hope. “We’re going to have a vigil every night until we get her home,” she said. Across the state line, detectives were going door-to-door in Canaan, Vt., on Friday, while others searched fields and a nearby lake. The Vermont State Police has sent troopers and Vermont’s crime scene van across the Connecticut River into New Hampshire to help process possible evidence, said spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro. Age is a crucial variable in developing hypotheses about missing children, said David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. “She’s right at the cusp in a way that makes it challenging,” said Finkelhor, who has done extensive research on child homicide, missing and abducted children and family violence. Children who run away are typically 12 or 13 or older, he said. Kidnapping by strangers is more frequent with pubescent and post-pubescent girls, but homicides of children Cass’s age are unusual, he said. Celina is 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighs about 95 pounds and has hazel eyes and waist-length brown hair.

Labor unions representing state workers agree to give-backs to avoid layoffs CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch announced Friday that the state had reached tentative agreements with negotiators for three labor unions on contracts that will save the state nearly $50 million and avert the need to lay off potentially 500 workers in September. Lynch announced the agreements in joint statements with the State Employees’ Association, which represents most of the state’s 11,000 workers, and with the New Hampshire Troopers Association and New England Police Benevolent Association. Lynch said he was pleased the deals could be reached to avoid widespread layoffs. The unions agreed to money-saving health benefit and personnel-related changes. The state budget required Lynch to save $50 million in personnel costs, with $20 million coming from state funded accounts, and to implement the savings by Sept. 1. Otherwise, the governor has to cut labor costs by Dec. 1. The unions must vote on the twoyear contracts before they can take effect. “This agreement makes real progress in addressing the rising cost of health care, which is a benefit to our taxpayers and our employees,” Lynch
said of the agreement with the SEA. Earlier this month, Lynch told state agency heads to develop contingency plans to lay off potentially hundreds of state workers if negotiations failed. The agencies have until Aug. 8 to submit plans to be implemented around Sept. 8. Lynch spokesman Colin Manning said the state must continue preparing for layoffs should the unions not ratify the agreements. SEA President Diana Lacey said preparations for a contract vote and layoffs have to follow simultaneous tracks given the legislative mandate. “I don’t fault him for that,” she said of Lynch continuing his contingency effort. The SEA will present the proposed agreement to its bargaining Senate, a leadership group, on Aug. 8 and recommend acceptance. If the Senate recommends ratifying the contract, ballots would be mailed by midAugust, Lacey said. Union members would have two weeks to vote and ballots would be counted in early September. The layoffs would have been in addition to an as-yet unknown total of layoffs from budget cuts. The governor’s office said so far they know of about 130 executive branch layoffs from budget cuts, but more are see STATE WORKERS page 8

Polygamist sect leader threatens court with ‘sickness & death’ if trial isn’t stopped SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — A polygamist sect leader defending himself against sexual assault charges broke his silence Friday with a 55-minute sermon defending plural marriages as divine and later said God would visit “sickness and death” on those involved if his trial wasn’t immediately stopped. Warren Jeffs, 55, could face life in prison if he’s convicted of sexually assaulting two underage girls. He has been representing himself since he fired his high-powered lawyers Thursday, but he made no opening statement and spent hours sitting alone at the defense table staring into space in silence while prosecutors made their case. On Friday, however, the ecclesiastical head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints suddenly cried “I object!” as FBI agent John Broadway testified about seizing eight desktop computers and 120 boxes and large folders of docu-
968 Laconia Road, Tilton (Next to Pirate’s Cove)
ments from the church’s remote compound in West Texas in 2008. “There is sacred trust given to religious leadership not to be touched by government agencies,” said Jeffs, who leads an offshoot of mainstream Mormonism that believes polygamy brings exaltation in heaven. The sect’s 10,000 members see Jeffs as a prophet who speaks for God on Earth. Jeffs then launched into a lengthy defense of polygamy, but Walther eventually overruled his objection. She said court rules prohibited him from testifying while objecting but she let him go on at length because he hadn’t offered an opening statement. Jeffs then said he had no choice but to read a statement from God. Walther dismissed the jury and allowed him to read it. “I, the Lord God of heaven,” Jeffs read, “call upon the court to cease this open prosecution against my
pure, holy way.” If the trial continues, the statement said, “I will send a scourge upon the counties of prosecutorial zeal to make humbled by sickness and death.” Jeffs has frequently said the charges against him are the work of over-zealous prosecutors. Walther responded to the statement by telling Jeffs he could not threaten the jury. “If you call for their destruction,” she said, “or in any way say that they will be injured or damaged because of their service, you will be removed from the courtroom.” During afternoon testimony from Broadway and other witnesses who detailed documents seized from the FLDS compound, Jeffs objected so much that Walther eventually had a bailiff remove his microphones. It was a sharp contrast to his earlier silence and halting speech. When answering questions from Walther earlier in the week, Jeffs usually paused for a full minute or two and then spoke in slow, deliberate tones interrupted by long, awkward pauses. But his words flowed freely Friday. Jeffs, who is schedule for trial on bigamy charges in October, said his church has practiced polygamy for five generations and believes it is the will of God, who is a higher power than courts, state legislatures and the U.S. Congress. “We are not a fly-bynight religious society . . . We are a community of faith and principles and those principles are so sacred. They belong to God, not to man and the governments of man,” Jeffs said. He also noted that polygamy “is not of a sudden happening, it is of a tradition in our lives. And how can we just throw it away and say ‘God has not spoken?’”

Hugo Chavez suddenly signals shift to the middle CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made an abrupt political shift Friday, urging his socialist movement to reach out to the middle class and small business owners. Chavez, whose signature red shirts have long been a symbol of his radicalism, also suggested his allies ought to be more moderate in their wardrobes. “Why do we have to go around all the time wearing a red shirt?” Chavez asked in a telephone call broadcast on state television. The president, who in the past has scolded some aides for not wearing the red often associated with leftist movements, chose a yellow shirt when he addressed supporters at his 57th birthday party Thursday. Chavez, who is undergoing cancer treatment, appeared to be taking a more moderate stance to try to expand his support ahead of the presidential election in late 2012. He said his party should seek to recapture middle

class support. Such support has waned over the years amid the government’s expropriations of businesses, farmland and residential buildings, as well as expanding price controls viewed by many as a threat to the economy. “We can’t give away the middle class to the bourgeoisie,” Chavez said, referring to the opposition. The president also said his government has no plans to expropriate small businesses, adding: “We have to open ourselves up to those sectors, the private productive sector.” Chavez has had tense relations with the country’s business leaders during his more than 12 years in office. He has accused business leaders of defending capitalism, identifying them as obstacles to his socialist movement. He has also nationalized or expropriated big businesses in industries ranging from telecommunications to construction.

What Norway killer ‘wanted’ doesn’t matter “What did the Oslo killer want?” asks one of many irritating headlines over the weekend. The Norwegian terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik, called for a number of societal changes as he massacred his countrymen in a meticulous assault, Foreign Policy reported. But let’s skip them and cut to the chase: Breivik was insane. Moments after the bombs exploded in the Norwegian capital, the instant analysis pointed to Muslim terrorism and asked: What had Norway done to possibly provoke this massacre? Then it was discovered that the maniac resembled not some dark-bearded Islamic fanatic but Thor. Blond mane crashing over his muscled shoulders, Thor was the lightning god of Norse mythology — and of Marvel comics. The suspect changed, but not the apparent need to put the rampage into a political frame and ask irrelevant questions. The question isn’t what Breivik wants but what he needs, which would appear to be a cell and lots of medication. The person posing in a frogman suit was a twisted loser on the order of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Like another terrorist, “Unabomber” Theodore Kaczynski, he stewed in a paranoid vision of evildoers ascendant. Most weirdly, Breivik professed to hate radical Islam while diving into the same sort of self-aggrandizing fantasy as the criminals of 9/11. He fancied himself founder of a new Knights Templar, a military order started around 900 years ago to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land from Arab attack. Osama bin Laden’s followers sought to restore the lost glory of al-Andalus, 800 years of Muslim rule in Spain that ended five centuries ago. These people don’t know where the video game ends and real life begins. Put them in the same room, and lock the door. What Breivik is not is a “rightwinger” in any conventional sense of the term. Calling this crackpot such puts him on a political spectrum occupied by people arguing about real things in the current century. Even “right-wing extremist” is
pushing it. Once you place the likes of Breivik in the political debate, you distort the views of others concerned with similar-sounding issues. And it’s happening. Consider this bit of unhinged linkage in The New York Times coverage. Breivik had railed against multiculturalism and open immigration, hence this line: “Yet some of the primary motivations cited by the suspect in Norway ... are now mainstream issues.” The reporter goes on to note that German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron have also criticized “multiculturalism.” He should find out whether they also like blueberry pie. Questioning multiculturalism is not confined to conservatives. Center-left-me is no fan of multiculturalism when used to deny the importance of “newcomers” adjusting to the host country’s mainstream values. Furthermore, while I support an orderly immigration program that admits people of different backgrounds, I find uncontrolled mass immigration troubling. Am I in any way providing safe political haven for a lunatic hunting down children at a summer camp? Let’s get to the bottom of what the Oslo killer probably wanted. He wanted his daddy. In his “manifesto,” Breivik complains that his father, long ago divorced from his mother, hadn’t spoken to him in 15 years. (The big flashing light in McVeigh’s biography is that his mother had packed up and left the family when Timothy was 10.) Breivik said he wouldn’t mind if the (new) Knights Templar executed his stepmother, even though he and she generally got along. We may read the manifestoes out of curiosity, but to find the origins of these unspeakable crimes, look for the family crack-up or brain chemicals gone haywire. Those we call political extremists are often just extremely crazy. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

It should have been titled the “Private Sector Versus the Public Sector”. The facts are that 48-percent of the taxes paid in Gilford are from the nonresident taxpayer. This means they cannot vote and they have no say on how their money is spent. The people of the Town of Gilford have to realize that they are stewards of this money. Through the growth of government they take that money by force from these people. As Margaret Thatcher once said, “The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of spending other people’s money”. The housing market in Gilford will not recover until the tax rate is reduced. Since the sales prices are going down, the assessments will drop. If you keep government spending flat the tax rate will rise. Thus the downward spiral continues. The Town of Gilford publishes the salaries and benefits of the town employees. Go and look for yourself at www. gilfordnh.org and then under “Forms and Documents”, where you will find the union contracts and the policies and
procedures for the town employees. In the 2010 Town Report, accessible on the main town home page, you will see the number of employees, both town and school district and their salaries and benefits listed. The majority of the small businesses in the Lakes Region would be hard pressed to offer the benefits that the town and SAU employees receive and the 2 to 2.5-percent yearly raises just because they perform “proficient”. Once government becomes a better place to work than the private sector you will see growth in government. For a true free market society to work you must have the citizen taxpayer on the top of the economic food chain. Right now it appears that our local elected boards and our town administrator are putting the town employees welfare before that of the taxpayers. The hard reality of the situation is that you either need to cut the wages/ benefits of the government employees or cut the number of government employees you have. Don’t shoot the messenger, this economic reality is well known and widely publicized. Barbara Aichinger Governor’s Island, NH Gilford
Message from Washington: Guess we can’t get there from here To the editor, Once upon a time a voice from behind said, “We’re in the eleventh hour,” referring to the short time remaining before federal borrowing reaches the limit imposed by Congress thereby forcing a default. Everyone yawned. True, it was late but not too late. In the eyes of many congressmen there was still plenty of time to introduce elaborate new schemes to avert calamity. The plot thickened. A bipartisan group of senators unveiled one shortly before the lead donkey spoke. The leadership of the House of Representatives and their counterparts in the Senate, meanwhile, are each pushing their own plans. It is not clear that any of these plans have the votes to get through Congress by August 2nd. Oh no! What shall we do? The Treasury says it will run out of accounting maneuvers and must simply stop paying some bills. Oh but what won’t get paid? Oh my, oh my!
Won’t that throw the global financial system into disarray? Won’t that weaken America’s sickly economy? A simple act of Congress is all that is needed to raise the debt ceiling. But the elephants controlling the House of Representatives say they will not approve one unless it comes with dramatic measures to cut the deficit. Some in their ranks claim they do not want the debt ceiling raised at all, although that would oblige the government to cut spending by almost half overnight. Oh no! What shall we do? Despite months of negotiation the leaders of the two chambers and the president cannot even agree on what amount of deficit-reduction they are aiming for. Oh no what will we do? It isn’t only that they can’t decide on the amount of the reduction needed they can’t even begin to determine how to get there. Guess we can’t get there from here. The president wants to cut $4-trillion or so from projected deficits over the next decade. That position is

Forgetting or blasphemy towards our heritage benefits no one
To the editor, It was a warm summer night in 2006 when I left my work at Lake Sunapee Country Club and began the trek home on Route 89 to Concord. It was around eleven o’clock, and there were almost no other cars out. Soon into my ride, I saw a brown shape crossing the road ahead. I rapidly slowed, for I had seen deer, coyotes, foxes and even a snapping turtle crossing the road on this stretch in my short amount of time commuting. Then, when I neared I noticed something queer about this deer. It had no head. Where it’s head should have been, there was nothing, and then I saw the eye-shine, low and to the road. The animals head was below its shoulders. As I came within about 50 feet, I braked pretty even harder and came to a virtual stop… I was looking at a mountain lion. It paused and looked right at me while on the shoulder of the road, then disappeared into the grass. The last thing I saw was its long tail wisp away, curling to and fro. I never reported my sighting, but it prompted me to research the heck out of New Hampshire sightings. Most were unreliable accounts or blurry photos, nothing convincing. Then, last
To the editor, In a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush Thomas Jefferson wrote: “My views of the Christian religion are the results of a life of inquiry and reflection, and very different from that anti-Christian system imputed to me by those who know nothing of my opinions. To the corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished anyone to be-sincerely attached to his doctrines in preference to all others”. Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence and stated “Natures God” in its context. Up to that time the colonials were considered Englishmen and believed they held the same rights as all Englishmen. When the king abused those rights it was necessary to call upon rights afforded by God to all man. An act of one of the first Sessions of Congress was to have printed 20,000 Bibles to distribute to the schools. Thomas Jefferson understood very well the meaning of “ The Laws Of Nature and “Natures God”. The phrase was used as early as the 1300s and in Catholic theology in the eleventh century. William Blackstone was a contemporary of the founders. His “Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765) sold as many in the colony’s as England, he used seven pages to define “Law of Nature” in all those pages he stated the Christian view of the law. In the 1600s, Sir Edward Coke (Cook) traced his understanding of the phrase “law of nature” to the Christian scriptures. He stood by the Christian faith and Christian legal tradition. It was understood that both terms were two sides of the same coin. Historian Richard Perry, in “ Sources of our liberty” stated that Jefferson was not creating new ideas. The development of western liberty goes back to the Magna Carta. In 1215. The writings of the founding fathers cite the Magna Carta and Cokes commentary quite extensively. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both sat on the committee to draft the “Declaration of Independence” In Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” he refers to Biblical Scripture often and uses the word God. He cites examples how the Jews were led into bondage. A reference to how the colonials felt at that time. John Quincy Adams wrote often to his son and used Bible lessons in his correspondence. His reference to Scripture fills the letters. From the sermon on the mount to the apostles he equates examples to live by. George Washington visited the many churches at that time and made many references to heavenly blessings afforded them in their war of
fall, there was a Fish and Game official who went on record of running into one while on a hike. It was reasoned that perhaps a pet got loose and was a lone cat living in the wild. When a mountain lion was hit and killed in Connecticut, it was hard proof that these animals can not only roam freely into New England, but may also be doing pretty well here (the animal was a hundred and forty pounds and seemed in good health). Then in today’s news, one was spotted right in my own back yard, near Lily Pond. When I read both these two recent revelations, I was overcome with a feeling of relief from the creeping self doubt I’ve had the last few years from what I saw that night. Now I am positive that I also saw one of these majestic creatures, and I’m positive that New Hampshire hosts a few of them and perhaps even more then we think. I would recommend any Fish and Game officials and/or lawmakers to make sure these animals are protected if they aren’t already. Welcome back big cats! Thomas Lemay Laconia
Only about 8% of Obama’s advisors have business experience To the editor, Are you concerned yet? When he was a senator, now President Barak Obama wrote a book titled “The Audacity of Hope”. However, what he has given the people and the economy of this country has not been the audacity of hope but the impairment of uncertainty. That uncertainty has had the entire business community shepherding and protecting resources, not knowing when the uncertainty will end, or what it will bring. The result is a continuing high unemployment rate, which has diminished federal tax revenues and increased demands on the government for services to the needy. A short time ago, I read that the 2,324-page Obamacare bill has gotten bogged down in writing the procedures and regulations necessary to implement and manage the enormous health care bill. Most current estimates are that it will take a full 10 years to complete that task. This has created an uncertainty for employers and workers that, in my memory, is unmatched This uncertainty is an outrageous assault on the business community and, ultimately, on workers who are in need of a job. Companies can’t plan and implement changes in their oper-
ations if they don’t know the costs and conditions the government is going to impose on them. (Independent estimates are that Obamacare alone will cost businesses an additional one trillion dollars) The United States has now surpassed Japan in assessing the highest corporate tax rates in the world. While the government might rail against jobs moving overseas, the uncertainty that has been created will undoubtedly force companies to seek safe havens elsewhere to ensure their companies remain viable. As that happens, instead of looking in the mirror, the Obama administration will try to lay the blame on the business community. In this administration, only about 6-percent of Obama advisors have first hand business experience, as compared to an average of over 50-percent in all previous administrations, Democrat and Republican alike. Academic cronies imposing their untested theories on the world’s greatest economy have had disastrous effects. The bottom line is that, contrary to the will of the people, Obamacare, the largest “entitlement” plan ever conceived, was sledge-hammered through the Congress and forced upon the citizenry and businesses. It puts governsee next page
from preceding page entirely too small amount for the elephants. The donkeys however feel it would be enough to stabilize and start reducing America’s debt as a share of GDP. That amount is not actually a reduction in the debt. All it does is to reduce the rate of growth of the debt. You should understand debt will be a smaller share of Gross Domestic Product it will not decline. A poor dumb truck driver asked the donkeys and the elephants: Sir, if we did not have to pay 42-cents of every
our debt wouldn’t we have 42-cents of every tax dollar available here to actually pay for the programs we want? Sir, I’m confused, please tell me what is wrong with spending American tax dollars on American needs. Sir, why is it wise to send so much of our tax money to other countries? Does this make us more secure? Does this bring us more jobs? Does this improve the future for our kids? Sir, why does this make sense? Vote early. Vote often. Marc Abear
independence . Yes! He did leave at times before services were finished. He traveled often and would attend other services. He was admired and loved by all who knew him. Quit often he was observed often in small clearings in the woods kneeling in prayer. In the 1787 Northwest Ordinance we find “ religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” In researching state constitutions we find mention of “ Year of our Lord” and acknowledging the importance of seminary’s. Massachusetts was founded as the “ Holy Commonwealth of Massachusetts”. Today we have been blessed with the freedom to attend or not to attend a church of our choice. Forgetting or blasphemy towards our heritage benefits no one. In the late 1930s and early 40s, Martin Dies headed the Committee on Un-American Activities. He was not the first to investigate communist subversive activity in the United States. Before him there was the Oberman Committee during World War 1. Senator Joe McCarthy was clearly not the first to become aware of communist fronts and subversive activities. Communist cells had flourished even before McCarthy. They honed their skills in attack and distract. He was just another enemy to their activity and he had to be discredited and destroyed. So in reality McCarthyism has come to mean destroy and discredit “that the truth be not found out.” (2 Corinthians. 3:17) “ Where the spirit of the lord is, there is liberty”. Karl Marx understood this principle very well. Lenin saw to it that all Christian churches were burned to the ground or taken over for revolutionary causes. Bibles were banned. Communism is an atheistic ideology that cannot flourish where the people are enlightened. Hitler built upon the same principle. Today we have been nurtured in the way of the state. As we flounder in socialist principles we will find our freedoms continue to diminish. We have only to check the United Nations Charter and their many resolutions to see where we are going. A repeat of history is at our doorstep. Nothing has happened by accident. On July 8, 1776 the Liberty Bell rang at the reading of the “Declaration of Independence”. On its face “Leviticus 25:10” was inscribed: “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the Land and unto all the inhabitants thereof”. It is with hope that the masses will not be lulled away from our precious freedoms and heritage. Gene F. Danforth Danbury

STATE WORKERS from page 3 likely as agencies comply with cuts whose amounts were specified, but not the programs to be cut. Lynch made it clear in his February budget address that he wanted the next contract with workers to include changes in health benefits to save money. Lacey said the Republican-controlled Legislature overrode longstanding personnel rules in the budget package to limit workers’ rights when it eliminated 1,100 vacant positions and laid off workers. She said the union wanted those protections added to the contract. The announcement from the governor’s office did not spell out the details of the agreement but said it restores modified bumping rights, which allow more senior employees who are laid off to take the jobs of less senior workers. It also includes seniority rules the union sought that lawmakers had suspended because they were in personnel rules, not the contract. Lacey said it was important to win bumping rights, although limited. The rights were suspended in the last budget and continued in the one that took effect July 1. The SEA contract contains no cost of living raises, but workers would have a greater say on health care issues. The contract promotes savings through wellness programs. Lacey declined to spell out the changes, which she said are comprehensive. She said workers would face some higher upfront costs, but might be able to recoup the money if they saved the state money through their health care choices. She said the agreement will maintain important public services.
“If we go into layoffs this time, it’s going to be pretty significant. Offices will close. Programs will end,” she said. Two years ago, lawmakers required Lynch to cut $25 million in labor costs. Lynch proposed furloughing workers rather than laying them off, but the union rejected a contract that called for 19 furlough days over two years to achieve the savings. About 200 workers were laid off. Almost half were in the Department of Health and Human Services. Troopers Association President Seth Cooper said the 277 troopers and sergeants in the troopers union can vote quickly online once they have time to review the details. He said their share of the $50 million was about $1.5 million, which they would save by paying a share of their health care premium for the first time and through higher co-payments. “It was an amount that we could swallow,” he said. The alternative was possibly losing 20 troopers to layoffs, he said. The New England Police Benevolent Association represents corrections officers, fish and game superior officers, probation and parole chiefs and officers, and liquor enforcement officers. Ronald Scaccia, the union’s chief negotiator, said the union made generous concessions to meet the legislative mandate to save its share of about $1.8 million. The approximately 400 union members would pay more out of pocket for health care and not get an annual step increase in wages. “The whole medical plan put more costs on us and saved the state money,” he said. Scaccia said voting by his units will be held over the next two weeks.
ENJOY SUMMER
ECONOMY from page 2 less than 2 percent in the July-September period. That’s down from the firm’s previous estimate of at least 2.5 percent. The weaker data will also add pressure to alreadytense negotiations between President Barack Obama and lawmakers over increasing the debt limit. Any deal will likely include deep cuts in government spending. That could slow growth further in the short term. But if Congress fails to raise the debt limit and the government defaults, financial markets could fall and interest rates could rise. Obama cited the dismal growth figures Friday as a reason for lawmakers to reach a solution. “On a day when we’ve been reminded how fragile the economy is, this is a burden we can lift ourselves,” Obama said. Economists have said the negotiations have injected a large amount of uncertainty into the frail recovery. Some businesses are holding back on hiring and expansion plans. “It is hard to see the economy getting much stronger,” Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a research note. “In fact, if the debt ceiling is not raised ... we could well have another recession on our hands.” A rebound in the second half of the year will also depend on consumers, who fuel 70 percent of economic growth. Consumer spending on long-lasting manufactured goods, such as cars and appliances, fell 4.4 percent in the second quarter. Many auto dealers reported shortages of popular models after Japan’s March 11 earthquake disrupted supply chains. That cut into auto sales. Auto sales and production are likely to rebound in the JulySeptember period as supply disruptions ease, economists said. That should boost growth.

from preceding page ment in charge of one sixth of the total economy. The effects of the plan, its rules and regulations, its yet unknown bureaucracy, its costs to the public, medical providers, insurers, and to businesses, are all yet unknowns It has created an uncertainty that has businesses shepherding their resources until some clarity is provided. And that has caused businesses to delay putting money into new capital projects and has perpetuated the problems of unemployment. It won’t be long before businesses will tire of the government imposed uncertainty and decide that it is their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to move their operations elsewhere . . . . creating more unemployment and further decreasing tax revenues. And how long before you tire of the uncertainty and its impact on your life? If you’re not concerned, you’re not paying attention. Bob Meade
Stagnant enrollment & state budget cut lead to staff cuts at community college LACONIA — Lakes Region Community College this week announced measures to trim its operating budget for the 2011-2012 academic year to offset the impact of reduced state funding and less tuition revenue. President Mark Edelstein, who is retiring this month, said yesterday that the shortfall comes as no surprise. In a presentation to senior staff in January he projected a shortfall of about $550,000, which is $100,000 less than the deficit the measures are intended to overcome. He said that the leadership team developed the plan announced earlier this week during the past month since the Legislature enacted the 2012-2013 state budget. The Legislature cut the appropriation to the entire community college system by $7.9-million, or about 20-percent, from $37.6-million to $29.7-million. Edelstein said that a tuition increase of $15 per credit, or 7.7-percent, is projected to offset 57-percent of the reduction in state funding if LRCC maintains its current enrollment. Last year enrollment rose just onepercent, shy of the three-percent to five-percent expected, and with fall enrollment “not at all promising “ Edelstein projects no growth this year, leaving the budget $650,000 in deficit. In a memorandum, Edelstein told faculty and staff that “our goal was to reduce the budget in ways that would have the least effect on students and student learning. However, it was clear from the outset,” he continued, “that we could not make up such a major deficit without considerable pain and without losing some of the valuable services we have provided to
our students and community.” Three full-time and one part-time faculty positions will not be filled and the workforce development office will be eliminated. A full-time security position and three part-time maintenance positions, along with the evening office hours, will be eliminated. The adjunct faculty payroll will be cut and the overtime budget reduced. And expenditures for supplies, travel and equipment will be trimmed. Expecting “the next two years will be challenging ones,” Edelstein stressed the importance of expanding enrollment. “If enrollment had continued growing at between seven-percent and ten-percent a year, we would be in good shape,” he said. He noted that tuition represents more than 60-percent of the college’s revenues and its share is growing. Because community college students, many of whom are mature and employed, are sensitive to economic factors, he acknowledged that the tuition hike could dampen enrollment. In an underlined statement Edelstein reminded faculty and staff that “enrollment growth and increased retention will be critical in helping us overcome those challenges, just as declines in enrollment will make those challenges more difficult.” Recruitment efforts, Edelstein commented, could be boosted by the construction of the Health and Science Center on the college campus, expected to get underway this fall. Remarking on “the considerable irony,” he said that the Legislature appropriated $6.4-million for the project, which will house labs for the nursing, physical science, biological science and fire science programs, together with classrooms and offices.
DEBT CEILING from page one changes, saying, “This is likely our last chance to save this nation from default.” The Senate GOP leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, sounded as if he wanted Reid to go first. “I eagerly await the majority leader’s plan for preventing this crisis,” he said in a statement noting the House had now passed two bills to avoid a default and the Senate none. At the same time Reid appealed for bipartisanship, he and other party leaders accused Boehner of caving in to extremists in the GOP ranks — “the last holdouts of the tea party,” Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois called them. Republicans conceded that the overnight delay had weakened Boehner’s hand in the endgame with Obama and Senate Democrats. But the Ohio Republican drew applause from his rank and file when he said the House, alone, had advanced legislation to cut deficits, and that he had “stuck his neck out” in recent weeks in hopes of concluding a sweeping deficit reduction deal with Obama. Boehner’s measure would provide a quick $900 billion increase in borrowing authority — essential for the U.S. to keep paying all its bills after next Tuesday — and $917 billion in spending cuts. After the bill’s latest alteration, any future increases in the debt
limit would be contingent on Congress approving the constitutional amendment and sending it to the states for ratification. “With conservatives insisting on the addition of a balanced-budget amendment requirement, Speaker Boehner’s bill will now cut, cap and balance” federal spending, said Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona as Friday’s scheduled vote approached. The White House called the bill a non-starter. Press secretary Jay Carney issued a statement that called it a “political exercise” and said congressional leaders should turn their efforts to a compromise that Obama can sign by Tuesday. The developments occurred one day after Boehner was forced to postpone a vote in the House for fear the earlier version of his measure would suffer a defeat. But by forcing a delay the conservative rebels upended the leadership’s strategy of making their bill the only one that could clear Congress before a default and win Obama’s reluctant signature. “Everybody acknowledges that because of the dust-up yesterday we’ve lost some leverage,” said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, an ally of the speaker. The rebels said they were more worried about stemming the nation’s see next page

Wolfeboro man ordered to pay $216,747 in medical bills resulting from drunk driving accident in Laconia By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Wolfeboro man who hit two Lakeport men in a head-on collision on Parade Road two years ago will serve one month in jail and has been ordered to pay his victim’s outstanding medical bills. Robert Goerss, 26, of 213 North Main St. pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated driving while intoxicated yesterday in Belknap County Superior Court. The crash occurred at 2 a.m. August 23, 2009 when Tyler Smith of Lakeport and his passenger Jeremiah Beam, now of Texas but formerly of Laconia, were returning home after a night out. Goerss swerved into Smith’s lane and struck Smith’s Ford Explorer head-on. Tyler Smith had agreed to be the designated driver that evening and according to his father, Robin Smith, is lucky to be alive. “You know, you don’t know if your kids are listening, but he did listen,” he said yesterday. He said his son suffered a torn aorta, a broken back and hip, and lost his spleen and gall bladder to the crash. Not only did he survive, he is back at work. Beam broke his jaw. “It’s truly a miracle,” said Robin Smith. “I am so lucky to have such a wonderful son.” According to police reports and a number of motions filed by Goerss’s lawyer Wade Harwood, Goerss allegedly admitted to a Laconia Police officer and the ambulance driver that he had taken three one-milligram tablets of Ativan — an anti-anxiety drug, but had not been drinking. Police said they found a number of beer cans — some opened and some not — in the back of Goerss’s Subaru but no smell of alcohol on his breath. from preceding page steady rise of red ink. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-La., a, a first-term lawmaker, issued a statement saying his pressure had paid off. “The American people have strongly renewed their November calls of bringing fiscal sanity to Washington. I am blessed to be a vehicle driving their wishes to fruition,” he said. “This plan is not a Washington deal but a real solution to fundamentally change the way Washington operates.” Administration officials say that without legislation in place by Tuesday, the Treasury will no longer be able to pay all its bills. The result could inflict significant damage on the economy, they add, causing interest rates to rise and financial markets to sink. Executives from the country’s biggest banks met with U.S. Treasury officials to discuss how debt auctions will be handled if Congress fails to raise the borrowing limit before Tuesday’s deadline.
Harwood had argued that because Goerss had also suffered a broken pelvis in the crash, was in pain and “very delusional,” he couldn’t freely give consent to having his blood tested. The motions to suppress the evidence were scheduled to be heard next week but Goerss agreed yesterday to plead guilty. “I think the sentence is a little bit light, although I believe he is sincerely sorry for the pain and suffering he caused to my son and family,” said Robin Tyler who said he spoke at Goerss’s sentencing. Robin Tyler said he is relieved that as part of Goerss’s sentence he has agreed to pay $216,747 in outstanding medical bills not covered by his son’s insurance. “My son was going to have to file a bankruptcy, but now it appears he won’t have to,” said Robin Tyler. Goerss’s entire sentence consisted of 12 months in the Belknap County House of Correction with 11 months suspended for good behavior. He is to pay restitution of $19,390 to LRGHealthcare and $216,656 to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. He was also fined $1,000 with a $240 penalty assessment and will loose his right to operate a motor vehicle for 18 months. The state can bring forward the entire sentence for up to five years for any parole or probation violation and Goerss was ordered to participate in a drug and alcohol program within 60 days of his release from jail. He begins serving his jail sentence on Aug. 15.

Belmont selectmen will wait for engineers evaluation of Main at Gale St. intersection BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Following a request by local hardware store owner Steve Woodbury to make Gale Street one way, selectmen said they would like to wait until an engineer scheduled to do an evaluation of the downtown area makes a professional recommendation. Woodbury went to Monday’s board meeting to object to a letter sent to the N.H. Department of Transportation by resident Mike Moyer to eliminate parking on Main Street, immediately on either side of Gale Street, because it impairs traffic sight lines. Woodbury’s store is located at that intersection. Woodbury said the request should be a “non-issue” because the topic was included on Monday’s selectmen’s agenda but Moyer, the former Laconia police chief, didn’t attend. Recently, Main Street parking has become an issue and Woodbury said yesterday he believes it’s because he installed two temporary holding racks in an area in front of his Main Street hardware store. He said was forced to move them from one part of the area in front of his store to another at the request of the town planner, but since he has done so, local police have stepped up parking enforcement on Gale Street. “To date I can document 14 parking tickets on Gale Street,” said Jim Woodbury who lives on Main Street. He went on to say he lived in that house since the early 1980s and his father bought Belmont Hardware in 1976 but the parking issues just began. The Woodbury’s particular objection to Moyer’s complaint was that he provided a picture to the DOT that they
estimate was at least two years old. “He waits two years to put in a complaint then he doesn’t even show up at the meeting,” said Steve Woodbury. Moyer’s request for the state to stop parking on either side of Gale Street is one of safety. “Something needs to be done before a serious accident at the intersection,” he wrote. ‘I certainly would be willing to met with any of your staff at that intersection to go over, not only my concerns, but also the concerns of the residents in the vicinity.” In the DOT reply to the community and copied to Moyer, William Lambert the administrator of the Bureau of Traffic said the state could only consider Moyer’s request if the town also supported it. He also said Moyer cited a state law that prohibits parking within 30 feet of an approach to a stop sign of traffic sign. Lambert explained that the restriction would apply to the approach from Gale Street to Main Street but not along Main Street because there is no stop sign or traffic signal. For the Woodburys, the solution would be to make Gale Street one way. At 17 1/2 feet wide, two-way traffic is problematic they said. As for pulling out on to Main Street from Gale Street, they said it has actually gotten easier because until the mid 1990s, there were gas pumps and an island in front of their building. He said the lease for the gasoline company expired in the 1990s and the family didn’t want to invest the money to upgrade the underground tanks so it chose instead to remove them. “The front of this building never has been used for parking,” said Jim Woodbury.

John Davis (center) of Bristol went into full cardiac arrest on Thanksgiving Day of last year when he was haying a field in Laconia. On Thursday, he returned to the fire department to thank those who helped save him. The Laconia Fire Department has saved nearly one in four of such patients over the last two years, a survival rate that is a few times better than the national average. From left to right, firefighters Rick Hewlett and Nate Lemay, Ramona Davis, John Davis, Noel Davis, Captain Robert Landry and firefighter Bruce Barrett. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)
SURVIVAL from page one average of six to eight percent. Although Laconia’s sample size isn’t large enough to be considered scientifically relevant, Riley thinks the success is not due to a statistical aberration but rather by the confluence of several factors that have saved nearly a dozen lives in Laconia in the past two years. Davis was lucky that these factors were in play when he needed them most. Davis’s first stroke of luck was that his heart attack occured while he was working with his son, Noel, who is a member of the New Hampton Fire Department. Noel was able to diagnose his father’s condition, call 9-1-1 and immediately begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). “We have an extraordinarily high rate of bystander CPR, it really makes a difference,” said Riley. In most cases of cardiac survival, said Riley, CPR was already underway before paramedics arrived. He noted that the American Heart Association had revised its guidelines regarding CPR, emphasizing chest compression over ventillation. Riley recommended searching YouTube for “hands-only CPR” for informative and amusing videos of the technique. Dr. Paul Racicot, president of Central New Hampshire ER Associates, who has worked in Laconia’s emergency room for 25 years, said citizen CPR “buys us a couple more minutes,” time which makes a critical difference for the patient’s survival. The hospital’s community education department provides first aid and CPR training. Racicot said further gains in cardiac survival can be had by greater CPR abilities among the general population. Another factor Riley perceives, “The relationship with the hospital really helps.” LRGHealthcare has,

for the past several years, partnered with the city, providing emergency medical care staff with training and equipment. The first ambulance to respond to Davis became stuck in the field. Thanks to the ready availability of a back-up ambulance and crew, Davis was in the hospital’s emergency room 16 minutes after the 9-1-1 call was placed. A final factor, said Riley, was “the guys and girls at Laconia Fire really take this seriously, they care about being really good at resuscitation.” Calling it a case of success breeding success, Riley noted that most of the cardiac survivors, such as Davis, have returned to the firehouse to personally thank their saviors. He sees this as having a motivational effect on the entire staff. Those who responded to Davis injected him with medication and defibrillated him three times. Their determination was rewarded when his heart restarted by the time he arrived at the emergency room. “It was a tremendous save. That guy was dead,” said Riley, noting that another of the city’s cardiac survivors required seven defibrillations. Racicot agreed that the cardiac survival rate has much to do with the performance of the first responders. “They really look at every case as a potential resuscitation,” he said. “They’re operating at a very high level... A lot of the success is die to how they approach these cases.” From Lakes Region General Hospital’s emergency room, Davis was transported to Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, where he was fitted with an internal defibrillator and where he spent three weeks recovering. Soon, he was back to work as a beef farmer and running a landscape company and see next page

Hibbard sent to prison for dealing drugs from hotel LACONIA — Ryan M. Hibbard, 30, listed as a transient when he was arrested in May, pled guilty to possession of narcotics with intent to distribute and was sentenced to three-and-a-half to seven years in prison in Belknap County Superior Court this week. Hibbard was arrested by Gilford Police following an investigation that began when a confidential informant provided information to Dads and Moms Against Drug Dealers (DAMMAD), an organization that offers a secure means of reporting suspected drug traffickers to law enforcement agencies. After placing Hibbard under surveillance, police arranged a controlled purchase of heroin from him. At the time he was staying at the Townplace Suites by Marriott at Gilford Commons, and police obtained a warrant to search both his person and his room. Police found Hibbard carrying seven bags of heroin and more than three grams of marijuana. Another 11.19 grams of heroin, along with drug
paraphernalia, were found in his room. Altogether police estimated Hibbard was in possession of 224 doses of heroin. Hibbard also pled guilty to driving after revocation or suspension in Laconia District Court and was fined $1,000. Other motor vehicle charges against him were dropped as part the negotiated plea. When he was arrested Hibbard was driving a 1999 Merecedes Benz ML430 registered to Michael Carpenter-Noucas of Meredith, who was indicted in 2010 on charges of burglary, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and armed robbery. Police alleged that Carpenter-Noucas and Robert Hart, both of whom were armed, broke into a home on Lake Street in Meredith intending to rob the occupants. A resident awoke, wrested a knife from CarpenterNoucas and turned it on his assailants. Hart died of his wounds and Carpenter-Noucas, who was cut in the neck, recovered. He is scheduled to stand trial in Belknap County Superior Court in September.

Planning director envisions incentives for Weirs development By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Planning Director Shanna Saunders will recommend introducing an incentive to redevelopment at the Weirs when the Planning Board meets on Tuesday evening. Earlier this year, when the City Council enacted an ordinance imposing development impact fees, it included a provision for a waiver of up to 80-percent of the fee for projects that redeveloped existing properties in accordance with the principles of socalled “Smart Growth.” Saunders proposes to make properties in the Commercial Resort district, which encompasses The Weirs eligible for the waiver. The Commercial Resort district stretches along the eastern shore of Paugus Bay and beyond
the Weirs Channel and to the west reaches from Moulton Cove to the junction of Centenary Avenue and Scenic Road then flanks either side of Route 3 to the Meredith town line. Following on suggestions of the team from the United States Environmental Protection Agency that visited the city in 2007, the Master Plan adopted that same year listed the revitalization and enhancement of the waterfront at the Weirs among its priorities. Saunders said that the waiver of impact fees would serve as an incentive to investing in the redevelopment of existing buildings. To qualify for the waiver properties must be served by municipal water and sewer lie within 300 feet of other developed property.
from preceding page a livestock auction business, operations that are run with the help of his family. These days, Davis said he feels healthier than he has in decades, thanks partly due to the fact that he quit his three packs per day smoking habit. “I take one day at a time and enjoy it, no matter what I’m doing,” he said. “I feel like a brand-new person.” It’s hard for him to put into words what it means to him to be alive. “I thank the Lord that they were able to get there as quickly as they did.” The first ambulance crew was on scene three minutes after the 9-1-1 call. He also credits the timely response from his son, who immediately began CPR. “If he
hadn’t done that, I might not have been there when the ambulance arrived.” Davis said the thing he’s most grateful for is “being able to spend time with my family and my grandchildren.” He and his wife Ramona have five children and eight grandchildren, the youngest of which is one month old. Success stories such as Davis’s, concluded Riley, are “really a community effort,” which includes a public that supports emergency services and is versed in CPR, professionally-minded first responders and a hospital that empowers the public and paramedics. “We pretty much have that equation in Laconia.”

White Sox beat Wakefield/Red Sox, 3-1 CHICAGO (AP) — Tim Wakefield’s knuckleball was fluttering and moving as much as A.J. Pierzynski had ever seen it. Somehow the White Sox catcher got a pitch he could handle and drove it over the fence. His seventh-inning homer sent the White Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night and helped Gavin Floyd win a duel with the 44-year-old knuckleballer Wakefield. “That was the best knuckleball I’ve seen him throw since I’ve watched him. And I’ve faced him a bunch,” Pierzynski said. “It was just dropping. Moving left, right, up and down. People don’t understand how hard it is to hit that. They look up and see 65 mph and they don’t really realize how hard it is to actually hit that thing.” On his homer, Pierzynski said he didn’t consider it a bad pitch or a mistake. “I don’t remember,” he said. “I just saw it and swung and luckily for us it went out and gave us the lead.” Chicago’s seventh straight victory over Boston and 14th in the last 16 games between the teams denied Wakefield his 200th career win. “I felt great. I had a lot of movement on the knuckleball. I just left one pitch up that he hit for a homer,. ..Just didn’t do what it was supposed to do,” Wakefield said. “I thought about it (200) a little bit before the game, but once I got done with my warm-ups and into the game, I wanted to win for us, not for me personally.” Floyd (9-9) won his third straight start.
He gave up a run and three hits in seven innings, including a homer to Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and ran his career record against the Red Sox to 6-0. “I don’t know,” Floyd said of his success and the White Sox’s recent dominance against the Red Sox. “Minnesota has our number. ... I know that any moment, any game, against any team you do well against or are terrible with can turn right around. You try to ignore that stuff.” Wakefield (6-4) also allowed three hits in seven innings. But his wild pitch in the sixth helped set up the tying run on Paul Konerko’s sacrifice fly. And he walked Carlos Quentin to start the bottom of the seventh before Pierzynski drove his fifth homer of the season into the right-center field seats to give the White Sox a two-run lead. “I know it’s going to be tough for us to get to him because from the beginning he was throwing strikes,” Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said of Wakefield. “I know that ball was moving a lot.” The Red Sox played without major league RBIs and batting average leader Adrian Gonzalez, a late lineup scratch with a stiff neck. Dustin Pedroia went 0 for 4 and his 25-game hitting streak was snapped. “I wish we could have come out and swung the bats better for Wake,” Pedroia said. Saltalamacchia worked a 3-2 count off Floyd before hitting his ninth homer to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead in the third.

Markets on edge as debt Eagles swoop in & sign summer’s top free agent limit debate drags on & on PHILADELPHIA (AP) —Nnamdi Asomugha had a tough choice: the New York Jets or the Dallas Cowboys? Then, the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in and snagged the biggest prize in this year’s free agent frenzy. The All-Pro cornerback signed a five-year contract Friday with the Eagles, who gave the former Oakland Raiders star a deal that would pay him $60 million over the life of it, with $25 million guaranteed. It was a stunning development as the Jets and Cowboys were thought to be the final teams in the sweepstakes for Asomugha’s services. Rex Ryan and the Jets dreamed of a No-Fly Zone secondary with Asomugha paired with Darrelle Revis. Meanwhile, the Cowboys and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, Rex’s twin brother, imagined how improved their defense would be with one big move. Turns out, the Eagles were the team celebrating in the end. The signing came a day after Philadelphia acquired Pro Bowl cornerback Dominique RodgersCromartie from Arizona. Asomugha, considered the top free agent on the market, spent his first eight seasons with the Raiders and is regarded as one of the best players at his
NEW YORK (AP) — The word of the day in financial markets: Anxious. The Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 100 points, its sixth straight decline, as the U.S. edged closer to a Tuesday deadline to raise the country’s borrowing limit or risk the prospect of a debt default. A dismal report on U.S. economic growth this spring also pushed stocks lower and sent the yield on the 10-year Treasury note to its lowest level of the year. The combination of bad economic news and growing worries about a possible default was evident in nearly every measure of investor confidence: — The S&P 500 index had its worst week in a year. — The Dow lost 581 points over the past six days. — All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 stock index fell. — Gold rose nearly 1 percent to $1,631 an ounce. — A measure of stock market volatility, the VIX, rose 6 percent. — The cost to protect against a U.S. default within the next year reached a record high. The cost to insure Treasurys for one year jumped 54 percent this week. Analysts said that a spike in short-term Treasury yields provided a clear sign that the market was increasingly worried about a default. “It’s not panic, but we are pre-positioning in case something goes wrong over the BELMONT — Police investigating suspicious weekend,” said Thomas Tzitzouris, head of fixed income activity near a spring on Province Road say they research at Strategas Research Partners. found evidence of a chemical bomb.

The Indianapolis Colts expect to begin training camp practices Monday without Peyton Manning, who not only is coming off neck surgery, but doesn’t have a contract. Coach Jim Caldwell said the star quarterback is “not ready right now” and that the team will “turn him loose” when he is ready to play. Manning is in the midst of negotiations on a new contract that Colts owner Jim Irsay says will make the four-time league MVP the highest-paid player in NFL history. Manning has never missed a start — the streak is at 227, including playoffs, the longest active one in the league. “I’ve told him to be as cautious as he needs to be because the last time I checked, we don’t count preseason games,” Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday said. “I can tell you this, there’s not a player that works harder than he does.”
Belmont police discover what is believed to be a homemade chemical bomb Police cautioned people who may be picking what what they believe to be trash could be exposed to toxic chemicals and may be burned or suffer respiratory ailments. Anyone who sees suspicious activity or who comes in contact with what they think are chemical bombs should call the Belmont Police at 267-8350.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
The not so short sale People always ask what a “short sale” is. One answer is “anything but short”. Most of the time it is not a sale either, making “short sale” a double misnomer if there is such a thing. I have been involved in one for just about 15 months. That, in my book, is not short. But then again it is not unusual to have any home on the market even longer. So what’s up with short sales? A short sale, for those people that always ask, is when an owner has to sell his home for less than what he owes the lender. He must get permission from the lender and that’s called third party approval (pretty fancy, right?). Generally, the lender forgives the shortfall on the debt because, as everyone knows, financial institutions are kind hearted. The owner has to prove hardship and he must be behind in his mortgage payments in order to qualify. The idea is to sell the property before the lender forecloses on it. After all, lenders don’t like to foreclose on properties these days if they can help it. They have way too many foreclosures on their books already. So with a short sale the lender agrees to take it in the shorts, so to speak. This way they don’t get stuck with a house they have foreclosed on, that they have to maintain (somewhat), and then try to sell. They will do things like winterize the water lines and the heating system, if someone hasn’t taken all the copper pipes out of the house that is. With a short sale the owner is still in the house so he’s less likely to sell the radiators to the junkyard and take all the appliances out because he needs them on a daily basis. In theory, a short sale seems like a good plan. Except, the plan has a near fatal flaw. That flaw is the time frame that it takes for the lender to accept an offer on a property. It can take over two months for some lenders to respond to an offer. It is very difficult to get someone to make an offer on a property when you can’t tell him how long it will be before he finds out if the offer is even acceptable. Regardless of how good a deal the home might be, buyers don’t like uncertainty and will move on to the next property. If the lender would tell the owner of the home up front
Z.D. Tree Service LLC
SEAFOOD If you like seafood, you’ll love how much they would accept and how long it would take for them to respond the short sale process would go a lot smoother. But that would make too much sense. The short sale process is so difficult that there are companies that specialize as intermediaries between the lenders, the home owner, and the REALTORS®. These companies know how to deal with the lenders and can provide the necessary paperwork to grease the skids and speed the process up a notch or two from a dead crawl. Obviously, the need for these specialized services comes at an expense so the lender comes out a little shorter still. It’s always nice when you can spread the non-wealth around, isn’t it? Well, I’d like to know how the tale of short sale ends. But, I haven’t gotten there yet and probably never will. The short sale property that I have had for 15 months has had many buyers that wanted it, but none really felt comfortable waiting an unknown period of time to get an answer to their offer. I had two brave buyers that made offers on it, but their bravery quickly waned and they decided not to wait for the entire process to unfold. Just recently another buyer made an offer and thanks to the efforts of the short sale intermediary the offer was negotiated and accepted. It was a great deal on a great house for the new buyer! Unfortunately, although the value of the home was there, the FHA appraiser for the new lender found some “conditional repairs” that were needed before the property could close. The buyer was aware of these issues up front and was willing to take care of them, however, this hiccup was enough to kill the deal. The sad thing is that the one that really comes up short is the unfortunate homeowner. Well at least we know now, after 15 months, what the lender will accept. That my friends, is the long and the short of it. You can also receive these market reports by email. Just log onto my blog at www.lakesregionrealestatenews.com to sign up.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My wife, “Amy,” is 26. She is a wonderful, pretty girl, and I love her to pieces. We’ve been married two years. Her married sister, “Zoe,” is a year older and supermodel gorgeous, but I have never been even remotely attracted to her. A few months back, we had a big family party to watch the royal wedding. Somewhere along the way, a lighthearted discussion broke out among the guys as to who was more attractive -- the bride or her sister. That’s when I made the biggest mistake of my life. I joked that my brother-in-law was lucky he nabbed Zoe first, or I would have snatched her up. I don’t know why I said it. I didn’t even mean it. Zoe and my mother-in-law shot daggers at me, and my wife was quiet for the rest of the evening. I decided I would apologize as soon as we got home, but I never had the chance. As soon as we walked in the door, Amy went totally ballistic. She screamed and cried about how I humiliated her in front of everyone, and that she’d felt second-best to Zoe her entire life. I knew she was hurt, but no matter what I said or how hard I apologized, she refused to accept that it was a joke. She said she always believed I had underlying feelings for her sister, and now everyone else thinks so, too. Then, to my horror, she packed her bags and said our marriage was over. I figured I’d give her time to calm down, but things went south from there. Amy told me she couldn’t be married to a man who was so insensitive, and after that, she refused to see me or speak to me. The next thing I know, I’m being served with divorce papers. I don’t know what to do. Her family has swooped in to shield her from me, so I can’t even get close enough to suggest counseling. Everyone is angry with me, and I’m angry with myself and my big, stupid mouth. Even though I know
I was wrong, I can’t believe a wonderful marriage can be over just because of a flippant comment that I didn’t mean. Is there any hope for us? -- Suffering Soon-to-Be Ex Dear Suffering: Aside from your incredible disregard for your wife’s major sore spot, many people believe that such “flippant comments” hold hidden truths (see: Freud). At this point, there may be no way to convince Amy that you don’t harbor salacious thoughts about Zoe. Your best bet is to enlist the help of Amy’s parents. Apologize to them. Admit you were an obtuse idiot. Cry. Beg them to get Amy to consider counseling. We hope it works. You sound truly remorseful. Dear Annie: My husband is going to be evaluated for a lung transplant next month, but he is having second thoughts. I asked the doctor if he could put my husband in touch with people who have undergone this surgery and was surprised that he couldn’t help me. I want my husband to have all the facts before he decides one way or the other and would be grateful for your help. -- Theresa in Florida Dear Theresa: Try Second Wind Lung Transplant Association (2ndwind.org) at 1-888-855-9463 and Transplant Recipients International Organization (trioweb.org) at 1-800-TRIO386 (1-800-874-6386). We wish your husband all the best. Dear Annie: I am writing in response to “Tired of Living with Silent Bob,” whose wife of 20 years gets angry over little things on a daily basis. I, too, suffered from anger over every little thing. Talking to counselors did nothing. I finally discussed it with my doctor, who diagnosed me with clinical depression and put me on medication. What a change! Clinical depression is a daily battle, but with medication, I’m able to be less angry. -- BTDT

by Dickenson & Clark by Paul Gilligan
Pooch Café LOLA
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is neither fair nor healthy to condemn one small part of you as unsatisfactory. You are not made up of disparate bits and pieces. Every part of you serves a purpose in creating the whole beautiful picture. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s about time you were spoiled rotten. And if there is no one around to do something nice for you, make sure to do something nice for yourself. The rest of the world will catch on soon enough! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know how to command an audience. When you really want to get someone’s attention, you do it without much effort. However, just now, you may prefer to go “under the radar.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t automatically give your trust. You are wise to observe how a person interacts with the world. Judging by what you see, you accurately predict how he or she will interact with you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You like knowing that you have caused others to be pleasantly surprised. That is why you don’t always say what you are up to. You delight in watching the other person’s moment of discovery. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 30). You trust yourself and will blaze a path instead of following the well-worn road of those before you. Someone will become more and more attached to you through the next 10 weeks. You will do something to commemorate your bond in December. The financial situation improves after you rework it in September. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 13, 30, 9 and 49.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Pretending is fun, especially when everyone understands that you are playing a game and agrees to the same set of rules. If not, your pretending could land you in a bit of trouble. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone will be favorably impressed by you. All you have to do to remain in favor is refrain from negating this impression by uttering words of self-deprecation or deflection. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t care a bit how someone measures up on paper; you are headed for a paperless existence. It’s more “green” to feel your way through, measuring with your instincts. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t worry about being modest now. Put your best qualities in the most flattering light, and let others think what they think -- you can’t stop them anyway. Believe in your talents, and others will, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The voices of dissent are still part of your mental soundscape. They have a purpose in keeping you safe and grounded. You wouldn’t want them to leave entirely, though you should encourage them to pipe down. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The reason you will dress well just to go to the grocery store is that you know you will feel more confident for making the effort. What you wear is less important than how you feel while you are wearing it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can’t talk anyone into wanting what he or she doesn’t want. But you can entice your target to feel as strongly as you do that you hold the solution for a most vexing problem.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 30, 2011
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, July 30, the 211th day of 2011. There are 154 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 30, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure making “In God We Trust” the national motto, replacing “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of many, one”). On this date: In 1619, the first representative assembly in America convened in Jamestown in the Virginia Colony. In 1729, Baltimore, Md. was founded. In 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces tried to take Petersburg, Va., by exploding a gunpowder-filled mine under Confederate defense lines; the attack failed. In 1918, poet Joyce Kilmer, a sergeant in the 165th U.S. Infantry Regiment, was killed during the Second Battle of the Marne in World War I. (Kilmer is perhaps best remembered for his poem “Trees.”) In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill creating a women’s auxiliary agency in the Navy known as “Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service” — WAVES for short. In 1945, the Portland class heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine during World War II; only 316 out of some 1,200 men survived. In 1975, former Teamsters union president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in suburban Detroit; although presumed dead, his remains have never been found. In 1980, Israel’s Knesset passed a law reaffirming all of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state. One year ago: President Barack Obama toured Chrysler and General Motors assembly plants, where he offered an upbeat assessment of the U.S. auto industry a year after the big government bailouts. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Richard Johnson is 84. Actor Edd “Kookie” Byrnes is 78. Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig is 77. Blues musician Buddy Guy is 75. Movie director Peter Bogdanovich is 72. Singer Paul Anka is 70. Jazz musician David Sanborn is 66. Blues singer-musician Otis Taylor is 63. Actor Frank Stallone is 61. Actor Ken Olin is 57. Actress Delta Burke is 55. . Actor Richard Burgi is 53. Movie director Richard Linklater is 51. Actor Laurence Fishburne is 50. Actress Lisa Kudrow is 48. Bluegrass musician Danny Roberts (The Grascals) is 48. Country musician Dwayne O’Brien is 47. Actress Vivica A. Fox is 47. Actor Terry Crews is 43. Actor Simon Baker is 42. Movie director Christopher Nolan is 41. Actor Tom Green is 40. Rock musician Brad Hargreaves (Third Eye Blind) is 40. Actorcomedian Dean Edwards is 38. Actress Hilary Swank is 37. Olympic gold medal beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor is 34. Actress Jaime Pressly is 34. Actress Yvonne Strahovski (TV: “Chuck”) is 29.

LACONIA — The third annual Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) SCRUBS Summer Camp saw 13 campers arrive in mid-July for a week of activities which featured CPR training, an introduction to police forensic investigation techniques and a field trip to a Meredith farm. The campers, along with their parents, enjoyed a continental breakfast, then took part in a “people” scavenger hunt which allowed them to find out about each other’s special interest, before taking part in a session about the human heart with Susan Edelstein, former educator and R.N. The instruction was a prelude to the CPR training that took place Tuesday morning with Lt. Frank Latosek, Gilford Fire Department, followed by rescue training with Chuck Campbell, EMT/firefighter.

forensic evidence was presented by detectives,Kevin Butler and Bob Caron, from the Laconia Police Department. “As always the campers were fascinated by the information and excitement associated with being a police detective,” says Linda Ferruolo, LRCC SCRUBS Camp Chair.

On Wednesday the campers learned about the work of physical and occupational therapists from Toni McGrath, Kim Grace, and Judy Cook at The Summit Rehabilitation. The afternoon brought a visit to Veterinarian Dr. Robert MacDonald’s farm in Meredith. The campers met dogs, cats, horses, cows, geese, chickens, turkeys, pigs, and learned what it takes to become a vet. Thursday it was time to draw body parts. Dr. Pat Wild, chairman of art department at the college, discussed how medical Illustration can be an interesting and lucrative career. Then Barbara Whetstone, LRCC nursing faculty representative, spoke about the different types of nursing opportunities there are and where potential jobs can be found. After lunch and outdoor activity time with Jenna Stapleton, LRCC graduate and PSU student, the students were introduced to blood pressures and pulse taking by LRCC student, Christina Emmons, who is currently enrolled in the nursing program. The afternoon session saw physician assistants Tim O’Brien and Marcy Zebuhr from Orthopaedic Professional Association demonstrate the art of casting a broken bone. “All of the campers were able to experience the process as they casted each other’s arms and legs. The casts were then professionally removed and each camper left with a souvenir and knowledge of what wearing a cast really feels like,” Ferruolo said. Friday brought Nancy Dirubbo, ARNP, to the campers where she discussed everything people need to know about going to a doctor’s office for a routine check-up. Final guest speaker was Purvi Patel, a registered pharmacist from CVS Pharmacy in Laconia. Patel talked about the rigors of becoming a pharmacist and the critical importance of her career in the healthcare system. Ferruolo said that SCRUBS tops were supplied by Uniformly Yours, and logo embroidery was done by Piche’s Screen Printing with bus service for the campers provided by First Student. She said that she was grateful for the assistance of the maintenance staff at LRCC for help in setting up and rearranging the classroom and to Kristina Guignard, computer tech at LRCC, for the slide show she produced.

AWOL soldier defiantly shouts ‘09 Fort Hood murder suspect’s name in court
WACO, Texas (AP) — Coolly defiant, Pfc. Naser Abdo shouted “Nidal Hasan Fort Hood 2009!” as he was led out of the courtroom Friday, an apparent homage to the suspect in the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military installation. He condemned the attack less than a year ago, but is now accused of trying to repeat it. Investigators say Abdo, who cited his Muslim beliefs in requesting conscientious objector status last year, was found in a motel room three miles from Fort Hood’s main gate with a handgun, an article titled “Make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom” and the ingredients for an explosive device, including gunpowder, shrapnel and pressure cookers. An article with that title appears in an al-Qaida magazine. Abdo went absent without leave from Fort Campbell, Ky., early this month after being charged with possessing child pornography. Police and the Army say Abdo admitted plotting
an attack, but in Fuhais, Jordan, his father insisted the allegations were “all lies from A to Z.” “My son loved people no matter who they are, whether Jews or Christians,” Jamal Abdo said. “Naser is not the kind of a person who harbors evil for the other people, he cannot kill anyone and he could not have done any bad thing.” Jamal Abdo, 52, is a Jordanian who lived near Fort Hood in Killeen for 25 years until he was deported from the United States last year after being convicted of soliciting a minor. His 21-year-old son was ordered held without bond Friday. He is charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device in connection with a bomb plot and has yet to enter a plea. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison. It was not immediately known if he would face additional charges. “Our office will pursue federal charges where the evidence takes us,” said Daryl Fields, spokesman for federal prosecutors.
In court, Abdo refused to stand when the judge entered — U.S. marshals pulled him from his seat — but he answered the judge’s questions politely. On his way out, he yelled “Iraq 2006!” and the name of Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, a 14-year-old Iraqi girl who was raped that year before she and her family were killed. Five current or former U.S. soldiers went to prison, one for a life term, for their roles in that attack. He also shouted the name of Hasan, an Army major and psychiatrist who is charged with killing 13 people at Fort Hood. Abdo’s court-appointed attorney did not comment. His next hearing was set for Aug. 4. According to court documents, Abdo told investigators he planned to construct two bombs in his motel room using gunpowder and shrapnel packed into pressure cookers and then detonate the explosives at a restaurant frequented by soldiers.
American automakers pledge to double overall fuel mileage by 2025 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and automakers ushered in what could be the largest cut in fuel consumption since the 1970s on Friday with a deal that would save drivers money at the pump and dramatically cut heat-trapping gases coming from tailpipes. The agreement pledges to double overall fuel economy to 54.5 mpg by 2025, bringing even greater under-the-hood changes to the nation’s autos starting in model year 2017 and introduce more electric and hybrid technology to pickup trucks. Cars and trucks on the road today average 27 mpg. “This agreement on fuel standards represents the single most important step we have taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil,” Obama said, sharing the stage with top executives of 11 major automakers and a top automobile workers union official, before a backdrop of some of the most cutting-edge cars and pickup trucks on the road. “Just as cars will go further on a gallon of gas, our economy will go further on a barrel of oil,” Obama said. When achieved, the 54.5 mpg target would reduce U.S. oil consumption from vehicles by 40 percent and halve the amount of greenhouse gas pollution coming out of tailpipes. It builds on a 2009 deal between the Obama administration and automakers, which committed cars and trucks to averaging 35.5 mpg by model year 2016. For American families, the president said the agreement — which will be subject to a midcourse review — means filling up the car every two weeks, instead of every week. That would save $8,000 in fuel costs over the life of a vehicle purchased in 2025, compared with a 2010 model, a White House analysis said. The changes also are likely to push up the cost of a new vehicle, but just how much is unclear because the regulation still has to be written. That process will get started in September. The mileage target announced Friday isn’t exactly what consumers will see in their future cars. A formula that gives credits to manufacturers for electric cars, the use of low-emission air conditioning refrigerant and technology that shuts down engines at traffic lights means the actual fuel economy is likely to come in closer to about 40 mpg. Stickers on future cars and trucks will also display different numbers because they’ll be based on real-world mileage tests. The deal was less than what environmentalists and public health advocates wanted but more than desired by the Detroit Three — General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. In a letter to the president last week, Michigan lawmakers called the White House’s initial proposal of 56.2 mpg “overly aggressive,” after automakers had said they’d work to get vehicles averaging 42.6 to 46.7 mpg. Green groups, meanwhile, had pushed for a 62 mpg target by 2025.
