No holiday for Mother Nature The strong thunderstorm that moved through the Lakes Region between 6 and 7 p.m. on Wednesday evening apparently produced mico-burts that caused severe damage in isolated spots. One of those spots was Hill Road in the Winnisquam area of Tilton. The two photos above are of the same house, the smaller picture from the front and the larger one from the back. In Laconia, a fallen tree damaged an apartment house on Academy Street. Two gas meters and utility wires were ripped from the building, causing a significant gas leak that was mitigated by the Fire Department and National Grid. (Alan MacRae/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

55 or 1? Argument appears to hinge on role Engine 4 was playing at time of call

Downtown: does parking emphasis need to switch toward employee convenience?

GILFORD — Fire Chief State Carrier provided a unit response sheet for the year 2010 Tuesday that shows the controversial and out-of-service Engine 4 responded to 55 calls that year.

Of those calls, 31 were responses to fires, 12 were medical calls, one was a rescue and the rest were classified as “other.”

He said the times when Engine 4 responded to a car accident would have been to bring see ENGINE 4 page 11

LACONIA — “Let’s get some more businesses downtown and really create a parking problem,” said downtown business leader Randy Bullerwell of All My LIfe Jewelers in reaction to suggestions that city officials reconsider the allocation between two-hour and unrestricted parking in the city center. Recalling that in the 1980s he operated a store at Market Square in Portsmouth, he said although parking is almost always scarce in Portsmouth, people still flock to the city.

“I’d like to see a real parking problem in Laconia,” he remarked.

Emily Gallant of SunDay’s Salon & Spa, Inc. raised the issue last week in an open letter to City Manager Scott Myers, Mayor Mike Seymour and Police Chief Chris Adams and published in The Daily Sun, noting that during the past three or four weeks it has become difficult, if not impossible, for her employees to find all-day parking in the north end of downtown between 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. of weekdays.

In Wolfeboro over 4th, Romney labels health insurance requirement a tax WOLFEBORO (AP) — Mitt Romney on Wednesday said requiring all Americans to buy health insurance amounts to a tax, contradicting a senior campaign adviser who days ago said the Republican presidential candidate viewed President Barack Obama’s mandate as anything but a tax.

“The majority of the court said it’s a tax and therefore it is a tax. They have spoken. There’s no way around that,” Romney told CBS News. “You can try and say you wish they had decided a different way but they didn’t. They concluded it was a tax.”

Romney’s comments amounted to a shift in position. Earlier in the week, senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said Romney viewed the mandate as a penalty, a fee or a fine — not a tax.

The Supreme Court last week ruled that the mandate to buy health insurance is constitutional because it can be considered a tax. The requirement is part of the broad health care overhaul that Obama

signed into law in March 2010.

An identical requirement was part of the state health care law that Romney enacted when he was governor of Massachusetts.

“The governor believes that what we put in place in Massachusetts was a penalty and he disagrees with the court’s ruling that the mandate was a tax,” Fehrnstrom said Monday on MSNBC. The back-and-forth within the GOP over what to call the mandate illustrates how difficult the health care issue is for Romney. The law he signed as governor in 2006 moved Massachusetts toward universal coverage and became a blueprint for Obama’s overhaul. But Romney has spent much of the presidential campaign shying away from talking about it, preferring instead to keep voters focused on the slow economic recovery under Obama.

Both measures require individuals to have health insurance, mandate that businesses offer health

care to their employees and provide subsidies or exemptions for people who can’t afford it. Both also impose penalties on people who can afford health insurance but don’t pay for it.

Yet despite calling Obama’s mandate a tax, Romney insisted that the court ruling did not mean that he raised taxes as governor of Massachusetts.

He said Chief Justice John Roberts was clear in the court’s 5-4 ruling that states have the power to mandate purchases using mechanisms other than taxes.

“At the state level, states have the power to put in place mandates. They don’t need to require them to be called taxes in order for them to be constitutional,” Romney said in the interview. “And as a result, Massachusetts’ mandate was a mandate, was a penalty, was described that way by the Legislature and by me, and so it stays as it was.”

Romney also said Obama broke his promise not to see ROMNEY page 13

People were able on Tuesday to enjoy taking a dip in Lake Winnipesaukee at Weirs Beach, which was reopened Saturday after having been closed for three days last week due to a high bacteria count. (Roger Amsde/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

LACONIA — Closed for three days last week due to a high water-bacteria count, Weirs Beach was given the green light to reopen Saturday afternoon after state officials said the all-important count had dropped to safe levels.

The reopening came at just the right time for July 4th tourists arriving in the Lakes Region.

But it marked the third straight year that the beach on Lake Winnipesaukee has been closed for an extended period of time, something which Kevin Dunleavy, the city’s parks and maintenance director, said is troubling and will require a long-term solution.

He says that the recurring problem is blamed on many factors, including storm water runoff, seepage from a basin behind the beach bathhouse, high use, especially on weekends, and animal, duck and human waste as well as high heat and stagnant water. ‘’It’s very difficult to solve until we can identify what it is that is causing the problem,’’ says Dunleavy, who last year took some steps to deal with the immediate problem, including bringing in portable

toilets which could be used by the public after the beach bathhouse closes at 5 p.m., as well as putting out bags along the Weirs Beach boardwalk and at the beach itself for collecting dog waste which it is hoped that the public will use.

He said that while dogs are banned from the beach area they are frequently brought by their owners into the park area at the beach and onto the beach itself in the evening, after the staff has left for the day.

Dunleavy says that a long-term solution to the bacteria problem is being eyed and that the city is working with the state Department of Environmental Services on that issue.

He said state officials have told him that the bacteria problems appear to be more of a watershed problem, not necessarily something which is taking place solely at the beach.

Dunleavy said that the city hopes to apply for a 319 grant for an area watershed study, which would involve extensive monitoring to determine where bacteria are entering the water which ends up at the beach. see WEIRS BEACH page 10

John Roberts paid the price D. C. demands For John Roberts, it is Palm Sunday.

Out of relief and gratitude for his having saved Obamacare, he is being compared to John Marshall and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Liberal commentators are burbling that his act of statesmanship has shown us the way to the sunny uplands of a new consensus. If only Republicans will follow Roberts’ bold and brave example, and agree to new revenues, the dark days of partisan acrimony and tea party intransigence could be behind us.

Yet imagine if Justice Stephen Breyer had crossed over from the liberal bench to join Antonin Scalia, Sam Alito, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy in striking down Obamacare. Those hailing John Roberts for his independence would be giving Breyer a public caning for desertion of principle.

Why did Roberts do it? Why did this respected conservative uphold what still seems to be a dictatorial seizure of power — to order every citizen to buy health insurance or be punished and fined?

Congress can do this, wrote Roberts, because even if President Obama and his solicitor general insist the fine is not a tax, we can call it a tax: “If a statute has two possible meanings, one of which violates the Constitution, courts should adopt the meaning that does not do so. ... If the mandate is in effect just a tax hike on certain taxpayers who do not have health insurance, it may be within Congress’s constitutional power to tax.”

Roberts is saying that if Congress, to stimulate the economy, orders every middle-class American to buy a new car or face a $5,000 fine, such a mandate is within its power.

Now, Congress can indeed offer tax credits for buying a new car. But if a man would prefer to bank his money and not buy a new car, can Congress order him to buy one — and fine him if he refuses? Roberts has just said that Congress has that power.

Clearly, the chief justice was searching for a way not to declare the individual mandate unconstitutional. But to do so, he had to go through the tortured reasoning of redefining as a tax what its author and its chief advocates have repeatedly insisted is not a tax.

Why did he do it? One reason Roberts gives is his innate conservatism. As he wrote in his opinion: “We (the Court) possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect

the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

This is a sentiment many of us seek in a jurist in a republic: a disposition to defer to the elected branches to set policy and make law. But Roberts here raises a grave question — about himself. While it is not the job of the Supreme Court “to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices,” it is the job of the Supreme Court to pass on the constitutionality of laws. Did Roberts look at that individual mandate and conclude that it passed the constitutionality test?

Or did he first decide that he did not want to be the chief justice responsible for destroying the altarpiece of the Obama presidency and sinking that presidency — and then go searching for a rationale to do what he had already decided to do?

Here we enter the area of surmise.

In the view of this writer, Roberts desperately does not want to seen by history as merely a competent but colorless member of the conservative bloc on the Supreme Court, another reliable vote in the Scalia camp. He does not want Anthony Kennedy, the swing justice, to be making history, while he is seen as a predictable conservative vote.

John Roberts aspires to be a man of history, to have this court known to historians as “the Roberts Court.”

And if there is to be a decisive vote in future great decisions, he wants that vote to be his. He wants to be seen among the cognitive elite, in this capital city that voted 93-7 for Obama, as a large and independent thinker. And with this decision on Obamacare, for which he will be remembered, he has taken a great leap forward to establishing that new identity.

John Roberts likely has ahead of him a quarter of a century as chief justice. If he wants to be written of as another John Marshall or Oliver Wendell Holmes, and not Roger Taney, he must pay the price the city demands. If he does not wish to be remembered as a tea party justice, he must deliver the goods. And John Roberts just did.

Already they are saying of him that John Roberts has grown. Liberals will never again see him in the same light. Nor will his old comrades. To attain the first, John Roberts is willing to accept the second.

He has made his decision. John Roberts is moving on up.

LETTERS I adamantly object to ‘emergency’ drama created by Fire Engineers To the editor, The recent letter co-authored by the Gilford Fire Chief and the chairman of the Board of Fire Engineers (BOFE) was interesting from the stand point that it claimed my previous letter contained “misinformation” on the topic of the much talked about fire truck. The information I wrote about was completely derived from the public meetings I attended. The context of my letter was confined to the alleged “emergency” created for Gilford to hold a special vote to fund a new fire truck. During one of the public meetings, a resident asked if the records were correct that showed that engine #4 left the fire station only once in 2010 as the “front line attack engine”. The Fire Chief agreed with that statement.

The Fire Chief and the BOFE’s chair wrote that this situation was not “personal” when I accused the BOFE of creating this entire charade for maximum effect. I completely agree with them on that statement. I believe the chairman and Fire Chief are “personally” nice guys. What is happening is totally political! That’s what the BOFE has become; a political wing of the fire department. Seriously, if the expected repairs were $40,000 to $45,000 and the repairs are now $65,000 to $75,000 or even $90,000, then why not simply repair the truck? That is certainly a far cry from $450,000 (plus interest). I’ll bet Kevin Leandro and Pat LaBonte could do unbelievable things to repair engine #4 with $90,000. Unfortunately, this would do nothing for the BOFE’s ultimate goal of getting a new truck. I know it, the BOFE knows it and most of the town knows it. The BOFE continues to thwart every attempt to fix the current truck or do anything that doesn’t result in a “new truck now” option. I wouldn’t be surprised if they

dreamed up some reason that mutual aid won’t cover us in the event of an emergency during the waiting period.

The way Gilford politics works, it will somehow be presented that Mutual Aid and borrowing a truck will cover us until the new truck arrives but only if we can immediate vote to buy a new truck now. As Gilford luck would have it, we somehow won’t be covered if we delay the vote. Our School District dreams up this stuff all the time, why not the BOFE? I’m okay with letting the voters decide whether or not to buy a new fire truck. What I adamantly object to is the drama created by the BOFE to get it done sooner than later by means of a method that does nothing more than add money to the process. Not too many years ago, as a Budget Committee member, I suggested cutting the budget by the large amount of money the School Board hedged the price of fuel would increase (totally $400,000).

I’m certain it was Selectman O’Brien, then Budget Committee member, who was dead set against the idea because the price of fuel could rise to the predicted levels and we would need a special vote to add money to the budget.

He and the rest of the spenders wrangled on about how expensive the cost of an election would be and a significant burden to the town.

I guess now, the cost of a special election is no big deal because these are the very same people that are now rubber stamping this charade. I suppose none of this should surprise any of us that have seen this act before. Oh, and it won’t surprise any of you that the cost of the fuel I mentioned earlier, actual went down that year and the administration transferred the bulk of the money to “other things they needed”.

Just another day in Gilford.

LETTERS Democracy isn’t supposed to be about who can scree the loudest To the editor, Despite numerous calls to dial back the toxic political rhetoric, hate and finger pointing still spring forth from the usual sources. It has become painful to read the ego-inflated letters of Mr. Veverka and Mr. Wiles. Their letters have become filled with rage so extreme and sputtering hatred of other’s points of view, so over-the-top, they are harming themselves as well as public discourse. Both have become examples of how destructive the personal animosity, ginned up outrage and full-throated desire to destroy others with opposing beliefs that dominates our politics.

Wiles, in a recent missive, accuses liberals of “showing their true colors in attack dog paradoxical manner”. He continues by commenting on “Their relentless, repetitive put downs”. Does Wiles ever read what he summits to this forum? He is one of the biggest offenders of what he is accusing the liberals of. Just in this one letter he asserts that liberals are “moon bats” and that Veverka is a “bird brain”; most people (except apparently conservatives) would consider these “put downs”. Contributors with opposing views are often referred to as idiots, complete fools, freedom sucking, KoolAid drinking, to name a few. Much like a middle school bully standing before the principal, Wiles explains that these derisive and ridiculing terms used by conservative contributors are

meant “in a playful rather than mean spirited way” and then further belittles those who are offended by this ridicule as “thin-skinned elitists”. Is he so blinded by his arrogance that he can’t see the paradox in what he has written?

While I respect Wiles’ and other contributors rights to differ and speak out against Professor Sandy’s views of world peace, eradicating hunger, and adequate health care for all, I have never read of the professor “attacking and demeaning” those who take issue with his “quixotic” views. He has defended his opinions, but not in the “demeaning” manner Wiles suggests. If readers have examples of this behavior (and can validate them) please bring it to my attention. Could it be that the conservative elitists are thin-skinned?

I firmly believe that today’s political dialogue has been stolen from us by those with the loudest voices, the most capitalized words in their letters, the longest letters, and the influence of big money. Until we begin to take that conversation back for ourselves, we remain at the mercy of those with the most radical agendas, and the most extreme visions for our country.

A country run by a vociferous minority that just happens to scream louder than the rest of us is not what democracy is supposed to be about.

Let’s be reasonable & make sure these animals can be admired To the editor, Go see the animals — where else would you see them? These animals are beautiful, and many are disappearing in the wild. There are more in captivity in many cases. The owners raise them from babies and love and respect them, and care for them like they were children. Of course, this is their livelihood, why would they abuse them. In the wild they only live about half as long, as they kill and are killed by other animals. Last week a baby chimp was killed at a zoo by an adult chimp. Your cat kills those

pretty birds and other small animals.

This is the law of the jungle. Your feelings don’t effect them.

I was involved in the circus for years and saw many amazing animals acts, from tigers to pigs. It’s gone now due to insurance and rental feels, lack of help and other costs. If they activist have their way, no animals would be kept, it would be illegal to kill mice, etc. Let’s be reasonable and make sure that these animals can be see and admired, and, yes, cared for too.

‘Nothing is politically right that is morally wrong’ — A. Lincoln To the editor, Daniel Webster, on his first visit to the site of the profile of New Hampshire’s “Old Man”, said that the Lord but the image on Cannon Mountain as a sign that New England makes men. As time passed, Massachusetts, Vermont,other states, and then New Hampshire accepted sodomite behavior and allowed them the right to marry.

Sometime between May 1st and 3rd of 2003, in the dense mist, unseen by

human eyes, the One True God of all Creation who put the image there, pulled it down. Perhaps in His disgust for a New England that now marries men to other men.

I wonder how many people know that Abraham Lincoln, a God fearing man said, “Nothing is politically right which is morally wrong” (Leviticus 20:13.)

LETTERS ‘Elephants don’t have feelings,’ I was told by circus trainer last year To the editor, “Animals Don’t Have Feelings”, said an elephant trainer here last summer.

This was immediately followed (in a defensive tone) by, “Its no different if you have to smack your children to get them to behave. That’s not torture.”

I told him there was a good article in Time Magazine (8-16-2010) titled, “What Animals Think” that he might like to read. But one was not going to change this man’s mind.

I replied, “Well I guess I have my answer. God bless, you’re going to need it someday.” (Feel free to skip to the end of this letter for some nice information.)

Many want to go to the circus to see the animals and that is understandable as it is not something that we usually see in our city. Perhaps as others have written, it’s to remember how they felt as kids and pass that down. In today’s computer world however, one can quickly see how circus animals (elephants as the reference in this letter) are torn from their mothers and “trained”. Our local library is filled with books about animal behavior.

They are quite incredible and very feeling beings. (Dolphins and horses are known to have healing quality so who knows. It defies human explanation; it just is. Like dogs being able to detect seizures and I read recently, can detect if someone with diabetes is going to have a medical crisis.)

Amazing!

I recall this past fall when everyone was up in arms about the pictures of the dead moose during hunting season. I may not be a hunter but at least that is the END of that animals life at that point. A lot of us have had to avoid reading the newspaper or looking past all the flyers in town. Thank

you to those who did not display an ad for this weekend’s event! Others, please reconsider for next year unless it is animal-free. Circus animals live day after day, year after year being “trained” against everything that they were born to know naturally. (Lisa the elephant is coming back).

You can see baby elephants “trained” on various websites if you can stomach it; personally, I cannot. The trainers have to break their spirits and get them to be submissive and that is done with tying them down with all four legs stretched out, sharp bull hooks (One between their eyes to get them to stand on their heads with all their body weight), electrocution and now, it is this authors understanding from research — go to www.peta.org “elephant screams and cries” trained by BLOW TORCH. Sadly these trainers shown enjoy their work and on other sites are known to laugh.

Most circuses do not train with reward and that is the point of many websites and we “who speak for those who cannot.” Hopefully they will be banned as other countries have already done.

The laws must change first which is why I am personally a member of ALDF.org.

(Animal Legal Defense). Yes, 10 of our country’s top universities have animal law now to which Bob Barker is a huge supporter. See “training” and its current limitations at animal welfare act. AWA. Luckily seven months ago, the USDA gave a $ 270,000 fine to Feld Entertainment parent company of Ringling Brothers for violating the animal welfare act from June 7 to August 2011.

Anyone can read Kelly Miller’s homepage as they will be coming to

our town and then read further for any questions we might have about their organization, how it got its name and its affiliates. It would appear that they are sensitive to the animal rights issues in the world today.

ASPCA.org has some reputable information for those tired of hearing about PETA. “Elephant’s; Spirits Broken” has a beginning paragraph to share with children how they are very bonded. “In the wild, elephants nurse their babies for up to five years, and the babies are raised in a nurturing environment where they are protected and comforted. Daughters stay with their mothers for life and sons until adolescence.” Most animals mothers are very protective regardless of species. Whether we read books or watch animal friendly programs, one would agree that we don’t want animals to become extinct. That would require enhancing what they are inherently born with in the wild and nurturing those behaviors. Circuses, in general, sadly do not. They have to do tricks that are not natural to them and I would think they’d be confusing.

Hopefully, Laconia will not have any animal circuses back year after year.

Someone wrote “Community Aspirations” on page five of this paper on May 10th of this year and ironically, on the same page an article sharing its discontent with the circus being asked to come back. The aspirations of our community of Laconia stated: “Compassionate in all our dealings with both the powerful and the powerless.” No explanation needed. We have animal laws for a reason.

I applaud the non-animal acts that will be offered in addition this year. www.aspca

.org has many non-animal circuses listed.

Let’s invite those talented people. Surely the decision to bring the circus here was not strictly for profit. I know many people that would support fundraisers for some of the organizers of this year and last year’s circus for example. There must be a better way. (Lastly, one concern amongst experts is that elephants can carry tuberculosis). Please do not bring an animal circus back every year. In speaking with people in the community, some of us probably have too much empathy and it is literally unbearable. Remember, our local police can enforce our state law 644:8 ANIMAL CRUELTY LAW. Enough said.

If you raise your children with EMPATHY defined as “identifying with and understanding of another’s situation, feelings and motives”, as I did with my own son and now do with my grandson, they understand that these defenseless creatures have the same feelings that we do only THEY CANNOT SPEAK. My 4-year-old grandson said to me last wk, “Mimi, I’m going to grow up to be an ANIMAL SUPER HERO.” Out of the mouths of babes. (We protect our children to the horrors of animal abuse; They certainly need not know those details.)

Just teach them to be kind.

LETTERS Laconia Airport open house was great success & we’ll do it again To the editor, The Laconia Airport Authority would like to thank the community for coming out for our First Annual Airport Open House on June 2. Despite the weather, we had well over 500 in attendance and the event included a poignant tribute to area veterans. Many of the vintage cars, boats, planes and motorcycles could not be displayed due to the rain but there was still plenty for families to see and do, and everyone seemed excited to return for next year’s event which has been scheduled for Saturday, June 8th 2013 to help kick off Bike Week festivities.

We raffled off nearly $1,600 in prizes and raised over $2,000 for WinnAero, a non profit organization located at the Laconia Airport that offers summer educational programs to inspire students to excel in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by relating those subjects to exciting opportunities in aviation and aerospace. This summer’s week long ACE (Aviation Career Education) Academies will be offered for students 12 to 17 years of age from July 16th through July 20th.

For information or to register, please

Laconia taxpayers funding group out to curtail our 1st Amendment rights To the editor, Last Independence Day? Will next year be “Dependence Day”? That will be the theme through Saturday for my radio program. this week and beyond will continue. I see many letters in this paper from Obama-type government folks who write some really low and disgusting comments about anyone they consider to Love America, be antiObama, Christian, “Straight”, socially and fiscally conservative.

From my first term as a member of the Laconia City Council in January 1974 there was one boycott against my courier business, there were a few letters to vote against me, but nothing like today. Some folks are under attack who have never held an office, or plan to. Public discussion or discourse is good for America. Until Obama disposes of our Constitution in a second term we

have the First and Second Amendments still available. Oh wait a second, what is with the group that ran a list of petitioners who want to suppress the words and thoughts of me and others. Gee, I do not take too kindly to that, sort of takes away my right to think and speak here in the Lakes Region.

See last Friday’s edition of the Laconia Daily Sun (page 10) for the Human Relations Committee’s “ Community Aspirations” petition. Be sure to read the small print.

The creep, or incrementalism that I have spoken about for years, is here in Laconia.

Are the Laconia taxpayers aware that a few of your property tax dollars within the budget each year are given to this group to take away your First Amendment?

(Karen Bobotas/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

12 underage drinkers taken from 4th eve party LACONIA — A 24-year-old local man faces the charge that he facilitated an underage drinking party after police broke up a gathering at 718 Endicott Street North (Rte. 3) about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.

After his arrest, Damir Seifija was released on personal recognizance bail and is due to be arraigned in 4th Circuit Court - Laconia Division on August 9.

Twelve individuals ranging in age from 17 to 20 were taken into custody and charged with unlawful/ internal possession of alcohol. One of them, Garret R. Dunlap, 20, of Sandwich was also charged with resisting arrest and obstructing government operations. He is being held at the the Belknap County

Jail in lieu of $2,000 cash bail and is due to arraigned in 4th Circuit Court on Friday.

According to a police report, officers were called to Seifija’s home in reponse to complaints from neighbors of loud music. They arrived to find a back porch party in full swing and the music was said to have been loud enough to have been heard from a long distance away.

Officers said they overheard Seifija telling people attending the party that people under 21 were to hide in the basement.

Two Meredith police officers assisted Laconia officers during the operation.

LACONA — A local man is being held at the Belknap County Jail after he allegedly pointed a small caliber handgun at the head of another man on Tuesday night. Ralph C. Alexander, 53, of 169 Sheridan Street is charged with felony criminal threatening and criminal trespass. He is said to

have refused bail as will await arraignment in 4th Circuit Court - Laconia Division.

According to a police report, officers responded to a home at 724 White Oaks Road around 9 p.m. and were told that during a argument, Alexander had reacted to a request by the resident that he leave the property by pointing the gun at him and threatening to kill him. There were numerous other people in the residence at the time of the incident, including several young children.

Alexander was arrested at a different location as short time after the incident and the gun was recovered.

Once that happens the city would apply but no doubt would need to bring in a consultant to conduct a thorough study which would serve as the basis for remedial action.

ENGINE 4 from page one additional personal to the scene and would be there but not as a “blocker.”

Carrier’s data also showed the pumper tanker responded to 45 calls in 2011, 54 calls in 2009, 74 calls in 2008 and 120 calls in 2007.

Carrier’s remarks came in the wake of a letter to the editor published recently in which former Budget Committee member Terry Stewart wrote that Engine 4 only left the fire station once in 2010.

When contacted this week Stewart said his data showed Engine 4 left the station once “as a primary response vehicle” because Engine 2 — the department’s “front line fire responder” — was either on a call or out of service for maintenance. In a follow-up letter published in today’s paper (page 4), he writes that the “once as the primary response vehicle” assertion came up at a public meeting he attended and was agreed to by Chief Carrier.

“I’m pretty sure it responded as the

primary attack truck more than that,” Carrier said Tuesday, adding his data doesn’t show how many times it ran first and that is some of the data collection that he is working to improve.

The back and forth between the fire department and the people who don’t believe the town should lease/ purchase a new pumper tanker will partially play out in Belknap County Superior Court Friday afternoon when Judge Kenneth McHugh will hear arguments from both sides regarding why the town should or should not be allowed to hold a emergency town meeting to see if the electorate will agree to spend $441,000.

If he determines the requested meeting is an emergency, there will be a deliberate session and a secret ballot vote will follow on primary election day in September.

“Engine 4 is an integral piece of our fire response system,” Carrier said. “It’s a matter of safety because it brings people and equipment to the see next page ily Open Da pm 8am-6:30

DISCOVER WHAT ALL THE BUZZ IS ABOUT

Laconia woman said to have used her vehicle to threaten bodily harm LACONIA — A local woman who is said to have come dangerously close to running over another woman during a Tuesday night argument is facing a charge of criminal threatening. Kathleen E. Gonyer, 51, of 41 Gilford Ave. is scheduled to be arraigned at 4th Circuit Court - Laconia Division on August 9.

According to a police report, officers

responded at 7:20 p.m. to a call from a woman at 7 Riverside Court. She told police that Gonyer had come to her home and threatened to assault her and vandalize her vehicle. During the altercation, Gonyer is alleged to have tried to intimidate the woman by driving a vehicle at her and her daughter, stopping just a few inches from them.

from preceding page scene and allows us to enter a building. It is a backup attack vehicle.”

Carrier said typically Gilford has four primary firefighting trucks and Engine 4 is out of service.

Engine 2, which has been in service since 2003, holds 1,000 gallons of water and pumps 400 gallons per minute. “This and Engine 4 allow us to get into a building,” he said, noting these two engines carry multiple hoses and firefighters.

Engine 1 is a pumper that brings 2,000 gallons of water to a fire and allows the fire department to get water from a pond or dry hydrant.

Most of Gilford is not on a municipal water supply.

Tanker 1 carries 2,500 gallons of water.

“The biggest role (for Engine 4) is that it can step up and take the place of Engine 2. Nothing else can do that,’ Carrier said.

Fire Department officials have indicated that if voters agree to purchase a new truck it will become the primary attack vehicle and Engine 2 will rotate to the back-up position.

Carrier also said he has looked into a used or demonstrator fire truck but didn’t find anything that would be appropriate and affordable.

He said he asked E-One ( the company who will likely build the new fire truck for Gilford if and when one should be approved ) for a demonstrator and was told the company had one for $431,000 — $10,000 less than a new one.

He also saw and had two of his people check out a Spartan demonstrator model at a convention in Springfield, Mass. but said the engine was 380 horsepower and not the 450 that he and key detractor Kevin Leandro agree is fitting for Gilford’s hills.

At a recent Budget Committee meeting Leandro said that in some cases 450 horse power may not be enough.

“It was likely built for a place that is flatter than Gilford and I don‘t want to cut corners on engine size with our terrain.”

Carrier said. He also said he doesn’t want to go to a smaller water capacity because of the limited water supply in town.

Stewart said Tuesday that his letter was meant to discuss only the issue of whether or not this constitutes an emergency and demands a special town meeting as a remedy. His contention is that since it takes nine months to build a fire truck then it isn’t an emergency.

“Whether or not Gilford can downsize its fleet is not the discussion we’re having right now,” he said.

Maine law that legalized fireworks has actually had positive effect of Somersworth store

SOMERSWORTH, N.H. (AP) — The conventional wisdom is that Maine’s new law legalizing consumer fireworks would hurt New Hampshire fireworks stores because Mainers would no longer have to travel out of state to buy their missiles, Roman candles and exploding aerial displays.

But at Hilltop Fireworks, located a couple of miles from the Maine border, the owners say they’ve had more Maine customers in the days leading up to the Fourth of the July than in previous years. The company’s website says, “We welcome new customers from Maine.”

With fireworks now legal, Mainers who never gave much thought to fireworks or didn’t buy them because they were illegal are now opening their wallets.

One of them, 46-year-old Amy Harper of South Berwick, had never bought fireworks before Monday.

That’s when she and her 19-year-old son picked up an assortment of small fireworks to set off for a July Fourth get-together with family and friends.

“Now we can have a Fourth of July celebration,” she said as she examined the store’s colorful selection of pyrotechnics. “If we can have a little fun and have it be legal, that’s perfect.”

This Independence Day is the first since 1949 that fireworks have been legal in Maine. Back then, fireworks were outlawed after some legislators moved to end the noisy outbursts and injuries associated with fireworks, especially around the Fourth of July.

Since fireworks again became legal on Jan. 1, a dozen fireworks stores have opened from Scarborough in the south to Presque Isle in the north.

With the approach of July Fourth, fire officials have stressed the importance of fireworks safety.

State law limits fireworks to municipalities where they’re approved and requires people to be 21 to purchase and use them.

At the Atlas Fireworks Factory store in Scarborough, a steady stream of customers Monday checked out the wide selection of fireworks with names like Red, White and Kaboom and Pyro Fest. The average customer spends $65 to $100, the store manager said.

But others, like Scarborough restaurant owner John DiSanto, are spending much more. DiSanto was expecting more than 50 people at his house for a July Fourth party where he planned to shoot off more than $2,500 worth of fireworks.

The economy’s been tough for so long, fireworks gives people a chance to celebrate and have a little fun, he said. He’s also paying tribute to his brother, who died last year.

“This year I’m going over the top to show gratitude to my staff, my friends and my family,” DiSanto said. “It’s a nice way to celebrate.”

Business has been brisk, said Barbara Pelkey, who manages the Atlas store for her husband, who owns the Scarborough store and five others in New Hampshire. But it’s inevitable that Maine’s law will hurt fireworks stores in New Hampshire, she said.

“Mainers aren’t going to go New Hampshire anymore,” she said. “It’s going to cut somewhere.”

Hilltop Fireworks will feel it if a fireworks store opens in Maine close to Somersworth, said Kenneth Vincent, the store’s co-owner. For now, the nearest Maine fireworks store is an hour’s drive away.

But even then, many Mainers will continue coming to New Hampshire, he said.

“We hear the prices in Maine are outrageous,” Vincent said. “Plus, Maine has a sales tax and New Hampshire doesn’t.”

3 children hurt by sparkler explosion on Rye Beach

RYE, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire police say three children were hospitalized while playing with sparklers on Rye Beach.

Rye police say a preliminary investigation showed the children put some sparklers inside a glass bottle around 10 p.m. and the bottle exploded.

WMUR-TV says two of the children were sent to Portsmouth Regional Hospital and the third was flown to Massachusetts General Hospital. There is no word on their conditions.

The Rye incident came two hours after a fireworks explosion injured nine people in Pelham.

ROMNEY from page 2 raise taxes on middle-class families by putting the mandate in place.

In the week since the Supreme Court ruling, Republicans have criticized Obama by pointing to the tax and accusing him of raising taxes. Democrats, meanwhile, have been eager to accuse Romney of also raising taxes in Massachusetts. They cite a 2009 opinion piece in which Romney wrote that Massachusetts “established incentives for those who were uninsured to buy insurance.” In the piece, he acknowledged that the requirement amounted to a tax: “Using tax penalties, as we did ... encourages ‘free riders’ to take responsibility for themselves.”

Romney’s comments to CBS came in an interview conducted in Wolfeboro before he marched in the town’s Fourth of July parade, holding hands with his wife, Ann. He also was joined by New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a possible candidate for a running mate.

“I see you waterskiing!” one parade-watcher told Romney as he crossed from one side of Main Street to the other, shaking hands with well-wishers. “Oh, I do it from time to time,” Romney replied, smiling. At the end of the parade, he spoke to a crowd waiting at Brewster Academy.

Romney is spending this week on vacation at his lakeside estate. His participation in the parade through the center of town was his only official public appearance during a weeklong family break from campaigning.

Public Hearing Notice Tilton Board of Selectmen 257 Main Street, Tilton, NH 03276 Thursday, July 12, 2012 6:00 p.m.

Upstairs in the Town Hall The purpose of the public hearing is to receive public comment on establishing a designated parking space for motorcycle parking in the downtown area of Main Street. Please contact the Selectmen’s office 286-4521 x 101 for further information.

The Town of Tilton complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations. Please contact the Selectmen’s Office if you need accommodation to attend this meeting.

At issue are the number of downtown parking spaces, like these on New Salem Street, that go largely unused because they are designated for 2-hour parking only while some employers are report a the growing difficulty in finding places for employees to park. Some say downtown has changed from a retail center to an office center and parking regulations should be changed to reflect the reality of that dynamic. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Ed Engler)

PARKING from page one change in the business structure downtown,” Gallant, who has worked there for 16 years, said that there are “far more offices and employees . . . and less merchants and customers then ever before.” For years she favored restricted parking to ensure the frequent turnover of spaces for the customers and patrons of retail and service businesses. However, she repeated that there are now fewer businesses that require customer parking.

In response to Gallant’s letter, Myers and Adams took a walking tour of downtown this week with an eye to parking conditions. “She raises a point,” Myers said. “We should be assessing our current parking stock and trying to strike the right balance between customers, employees and tenants.”

Bullerwell acknowledged that the distribution of parking spaces is a “legitimate issue”, but quickly doubted that there was a solution that would satisfy everyone. He said that merchants and landlords have discussed the distribution of parking for some time without coming to a workable consensus.

“Employees need parking, people living downtown want to park near their home and businesses need parking for their customers,” he said.

Gallant said that the expansion of the Laconia Clinic, with the addition of the Caring for Women (OB/GYN) facility across Harvard Street, and the occupation of the Federal Building on North Main Street by Lakes Region Community Services highlighted the dearth of all-day parking, particularly on New Salem Street where her employees parked for years. There are eight parallel parking spaces on

the west side of New Salem Street and another 38 vertical spaces, including two handicapped spaces, on the east side, half of which are restricted to two hours. Gallant said that some of her co-workers took to parking in the two-hour zone only to be issued tickets.

Both Myers and Adams acknowledged that more frequent and consistent enforcement of parking regulations began in June, when the Police Department deployed Community Resource Officers (CROs), whose positions were not funded in 2011-2012 city budget.

Gallant said that the police, who “kindly voided a few tickets,” suggested they park in the parking garage, two blocks south of her Main at Veterans Square location. In her letter she wrote that “we all have a sense of feeling unsafe in the parking garage,” adding that this has been a common reaction to the facility “for years, and with good reason according to my staff that attended Empire Beauty School and used the parking garage regularly.”

Adams said that apprehension about using the parking garage, especially on the part of women, is “a legitimate concern” and “has always been an issue.” He said that officers patrol the garage at least three times during each shift and steps have been taken to remove homeless people living in the stairwell.

Myers said that the lighting at the garage was upgraded earlier this year while conceding that the stairwell remains poorly lit. “It is definitely a valid concern,” the city manager said, “and we are con-

For first time, more than half the homes & businesses in Laconia are said to be putting out recyclable material

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — For the first time, more than half of the 5,200 stops on the five curbside routes — both households and businesses —recycled a share of their trash during the first six months of this year, when the tonnage of recyclable materials collected throughout the city increased 12.5-percent.

Recyclables collected at the curbside rose from 306.58 tons in 2011 to 338.71 tons in 2012, an increase of 10.5-percent, while the tonnage taken to the five remote recycling depots rose from 252.34 to 289.87, an increase of 14.9-percent. Altogether 628.58 tons of trash were recycled in the first half of this year compared to 558.92 tons during the same period last year.

Every ton taken out of the waste stream and recycled reduces the cost of collecting, transporting and incinerating solid waste, which is funded by property taxes, by about $150 per ton. The 628.58 removed from the waste stream in the last six months reduced expenses by $94,318. Since the

city pays a fixed price of $10,340 a month to collect recyclable materials regardless of tonnage, the net income from the recycling program was $32,278.

Ann Saltmarsh, who manages the recycling program at the Department of Public Works, said that the increase in ther number of households and businesses recycling at the curbside was very encouraging. She said that if the pace of the last six months is sustained during the remainder of the year, for the first time more than 1,200 tons would be recycled, sparing almost $200,000 in solid waste costs.

On the recommendation of City Manager Scott Myers the 2012-2013 city budget includes investing $45,000 in the recycling program by purchasing 1,000 64-gallon toters, with two wheels and hinged lids, which would be sold to residents at a discounted price of $25. Myers calculated that if the toters led to an additional five tons of recyclable material to be collected every two weeks — or 10 pounds per toter — the reduced cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste would enable the city to recover its investment in one year.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The discovery of traces of a radioactive agent on clothing reportedly worn by Yasser Arafat in his final days reignited a cauldron of conspiracy theories Wednesday about the mysterious death of the longtime Palestinian leader.

Arafat’s widow, who ordered the tests by a Swiss lab, called for her husband’s body to be exhumed, and Arafat’s successor gave tentative approval for an autopsy. But experts warned that even after the detection of polonium-210, getting answers on the cause of death will be tough.

Arafat was 75 when he died Nov. 11, 2004, in a French military hospital. He had been airlifted to

the facility just weeks earlier with a mysterious illness, after being confined by Israel for three years to his West Bank headquarters.

At the time, French doctors said Arafat died of a massive stroke. According to French medical records, he had suffered inflammation, jaundice and a blood condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC. But the records were inconclusive about what brought about the DIC, which has numerous causes including infections, colitis and liver disease. Outside experts who reviewed the records on behalf of The Associated Press were also unable to pinpoint the underlying cause.

from preceding page tinuing to make the garage safe and well lit.”

While touring downtown, Myers observed that the upper level of the garage was empty and the rest only 30-percent to 40-percent full. “There were plenty of spaces,” he said.

Gallant asked city officials to consider redesigning eight spaces on North Main Street alongside the library, where “no one EVER parks,” from two-hour to all-day parking. At the time, she said that dividing the 38 vertical spaces on New Salem Street behind the railroad station between two-hour and all-day parking was confusing and proposed lifting the two-hour restriction on all of them.

Bullerwell allowed that “we might strike a better balance between all-day and two-hour parking,” sug-

gesting that the row of spaces facing Beacon Street East in the City Hall parking lot, which are currently restricted to two-hours, could become all-day parking. “They don’t appear to serve any business,” he said. Likewise, he shared Gallant’s misgivings about using the parking garage as well as understood her reluctance to expect women employees to walk from one end of downtown to another after dark.

Myers said that apart from Gallant’s letter, which “brings the issue to light,” questions have also been raised about the location of loading zones downtown and proposals have been presented to build so-called “pocket parks” and provide for outdoor dining downtown, all which would bear on parking. “This is an opportune time for a review,” he said.

Big Papi’s 400th homer shines through Red Sox loss OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — David Ortiz’s milestone 400th home run became one of the few bright spots for Boston on a disappointing 2-5 road trip out West.

Next up is the New York Yankees in a four-game weekend set, and the Red Sox hardly have the momentum they’d hoped for to face their AL East rival in an always-emotional series.

Ortiz hit his 400th homer with a leadoff drive to right in the fourth inning against Oakland starter A.J. Griffin, yet Boston managed little else in losing to the Athletics 3-2 on Wednesday and leaving town with a sweep to carry for the long flight home.

“Our offense has just been terrible,” right fielder Cody Ross said. “I don’t need to sugarcoat it. It just (stunk) basically. Our pitchers have been pitching their butts off to keep us in games and we just can’t seem to push a run across.”

After a tough day, Ortiz returned to the clubhouse to some 40 congratulatory messages.

“And my phone is still blowing up,” he said. “I know at some point in my career when I’m not playing baseball I might look at it from the outside and be like, ‘Whoa, I guess I had a good career.’ I look at it right now as just another home run.”

The 36-year-old Big Papi’s home runs rank eighth among active players and 49th on the all-time list. Next up for him to catch: Hall of Famer Duke Snider with 407.

“I wish he could celebrate,” manager Bobby Valentine said. “David is a team guy and he knows it’s a great individual accomplishment, we all know that.

But it’s tarnished.”

The A’s fans did their part to mark the moment.

Ortiz tipped his batting helmet as his milestone was announced to a standing ovation before he stepped in to hit in the sixth, then drew a five-pitch walk. He was thrilled with the surprising gesture from a crowd of 28,240.

“That was pretty cool. You’re playing on the road and you get something like that on the road, where people really appreciate it,” he said.

Ortiz’s 22nd home run of the season tied the game at 1. He has 352 home runs and 1,142 RBIs as a designated hitter for most all time by a DH. Red Sox Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski also hit their 400th home runs against the Athletics franchise — both also doing so in July.

Williams hit his against the Kansas City A’s.

Ortiz also scored on Adrian Gonzalez’s sixth-inning single, but Boston couldn’t avoid its first sweep by the A’s since May 23-25, 2008, also in Oakland. The Red Sox lost just their fourth series in the past 17 and completed a disappointing trek through Seattle and Oakland, the AL West’s two bottom teams.

“It was a pretty disappointing road trip,” Valentine said. “We battled the whole way but we just didn’t get those hits. I really believe we will.”

Brandon Moss homered among his three hits for the A’s and finished 6 for 8 with five RBIs and three runs scored against his former club that traded him away.

“Playing against a team you came up with and team you played your first little bit in the big leagues is special,” Moss said. “You want to do well, not out of animosity, but to show, ‘Hey, you did draft a good player.’”

‘Epic’ comedy takes Winni Playhouse stage

LACONIA — Friends, Romans, Countrymen... an epic movie is being filmed on the banks of Lake Winnipesaukee, complete with Roman gladiators, Egyptian princesses, pestilence and the parting of the Red Sea. Okay, not really. But don’t tell that to The Winnipesaukee Playhouse. From July 4-14 they will be presenting Epic Proportions, a comedy about the trials and tribulations of a 1930s film crew stranded in the Arizona desert while attempting to film the

biggest movie ever made. Unfortunately for Louise (Rebecca Turner), the film’s Assistant Director, and the 3,400 hundred extras, everything that can possibly go wrong on this set does.

Written by Larry Coen and David Crane (one of the writers behind tv’s ‘Friends’), Epic Proportions focuses on two of these extras: ambitious Benny (Dan Lendzian) and his brother, Phil (Alex Jacobs).

When Phil is forced to take over the directing of the movie, Benny’s resentment begins to show. Won’t stealing Phil’s girl only add to the problem? Benny aims to find out in the little free time he has between building the pyramids and dodging the ten plagues.

The brothers each decide to lead the thousands of extras who are, for the purposes of the play, portrayed by only a handful of actors including Shabazz Green, Kevin Killavey, Tonya Free and Nicholas Kochanov.

The play is directed by Neil Pankhurst. Dahlia Al-Habieli, an award-winning Boston-based set designer will be making her Playhouse debut with the multi-faceted set design.

Matthew Guminski provides the lighting design and Lesley Pankhurst designed the costumes. The music, inspired by classic Hollywood soundtracks, is designed by Neil Pankhurst.

Epic Proportions may not be suitable for children under the age of 10. Tickets cost $24 for adults and $22 for seniors/students. There are performances Mondays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. from July 4-14. Epic Proportions is generously sponsored by 98.3 LNH and Northway Bank.

For more information about performances, including a season subscription application form, visit www.winniplayhouse.org. Tickets can be booked by calling (603) 366-7377 or stopping by the theatre located in the Alpenrose Plaza in Weirs Beach. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is also still booking for their exciting summer camp program for ages 5-18.

WOLFEBORO — Girls and boys of all ages will become princesses and adventurers for a day as a magical fairy world returns to Cate Park in Wolfeboro on Saturday, July 7 as the Wolfeboro Area Children’s Center presents its second annual Fairy Land Festival.

The picturesque downtown Wolfeboro park transforms into a magical fantasy land with scores of one-ofa-kind, beautiful, handmade fairy houses prominently displayed or perfectly tucked within the natural surroundings. People will be able to take a self-guided tour of more than 30 locally crafted fairy houses from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 7. Admission to the event is a suggested donation of $5 per person age 13 and up.

Children 12 and under are admitted free. Proceeds benefit the Wolfeboro Area Children’s Center.

Fairy houses are tiny homes built of “found” materials, lots of creativity, and a giant pinch of pixie dust.

Twigs, stones, leaves, shells, bark, pine needles, leaves, and acorn caps become foundations, rafters, roofs, soft floors, and doors to these amazing creations. The design possibilities are infinite and enchanting.

Along with the many wonderful fairy houses that will be on display, award-winning author Tracy Kane will be at the festival chatting with fans and signing and selling copies of her popular The Fairy Houses Series of children’s and photo books.

Popular radio station WLNH 98.3 FM will be broadcasting live from the festival, as well, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

This year’s buffet luncheon will be held at the Inn on Main from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Special arrangements for tickets may be made by calling 603-569-6208.

This brand new home has three master suites, one downstairs and two upstairs plus a bunkroom, game room, and upstairs laundry. Transom windows upstairs were taken from an older lake home belonging to the family. These windows add a flavor of the past as well as allow further natural light into the house.

As you enter the home, look straight through the great room with its imposing two story granite fireplace to a magnificent view of the Big Lake. To the left of the great room is a custom kitchen with a lovely farm table and dining area which serves as an inviting place to share a meal with family and friends. Reclaimed barn boards, in various widths, have been used for the flooring and indicate a less formal atmosphere.

The boat bar room includes a stunning wooden boat bar complete with an original Chris Craft boat light, and novelty siding, reminiscent of a family camp, gives texture to the walls and sentimentality to the space.

Recessed lighting for the beams shows off their beauty.

There is additional novelty siding in the upstairs game room. This lovely home for the 21st century is easy on the eyes and extremely comfortable. It incorporates many wonderful reminders of the past when the owners fell in love with living on the lake.

House tour committee members will be selling tickets for a Dine Around Raffle at two of the homes on the day of the tour. Winners will receive a gift

certificate to one of over 50 eateries in the Lakes Region. Raffle tickets may also be purchased at both Hunter’s Shop n’ Save and Harvest Market on the morning of July 7.

LACONIA — The Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia will bid farewell this coming Sunday to the Rev. Kent McKusick, who leaves Laconia to serve the Unitarian Universalist Church in Ames,Iowa.

Rev. McKusick will conduct a final service on Sunday, July 8 at 10 am. His sermon is entitled The Road to “Health” Is Paved With Good Intentions. A farewell brunch follows the service.

In two years as minister of the Laconia church, Rev. McKusick brought his skills to the community with programs such as an anti-bullying workshop in 2011. His ministry here was shared with the Frank-

lin Unitarian Universalist church.

In his final letter to the Parish Rev. McKusick wrote: . “I have loved serving as your minister and have benefitted and learned from you during this two year shared ministry. We have made some significant accomplishments and taken some very positive steps together which will continue to impact our futures for years to come. . . .Even though our paths will soon be separate, I am confident that we will remain committed in our work to transform ourselves, the communities in which we live, and the larger world.”

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis the day -- but not too hard. Clinging will restrict the flow of spontaneity that makes your time so engaging. Remember that slow, steady steps are just as important as big leaps.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The Norse deity Thor threw his hammer and caused lightning and thunder.

Someone you know has an equally intimidating temper, but you have a way of neutralizing this person’s negative powers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Others may upset your timetable. They are not intentionally trying to mess you up; it’s just that their needs don’t fit nicely into the schedule. You’ll rise to the challenge by staying flexible and positive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually it’s not about the money. Your other interests have to be fulfilled before a dollar amount matters to you. This won’t be the case now, though. A dollar amount will be crucial to your satisfaction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s a certain urgency to your work objectives. A job must be done right and done quickly. You have a short amount of time to get things up to speed and on track.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 5).

The guidance you seek shows up in the next five weeks. You’ll know what you’re supposed to be doing, and you’ll follow through with it. This month features exciting dates. August is a social high, as well. New doors open on the work front in September. An investment brings easy profit in November. March is educational. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 25, 49, 15 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). At moments today you’ll feel like you’re in a movie and will find yourself looking around for the camera. But don’t be self-conscious. Go with the flow, and enjoy a new adventure.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s good to sometimes be involved in helping others or fixing their problems. But if things don’t feel right when you’re not helping, there’s a bigger problem to handle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Pet peeves have a way of growing from Chihuahuas into Great Danes. Don’t let minor irritations overwhelm you today.

Smile and keep little annoyances on a short leash.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be aware of what you can do to affect your distant future. A few timely measures made over the course of the next six weeks will make a remarkable difference in where you stand five years from now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfinished business is simply love that hasn’t been put in motion yet. Give your love. When you’re feeling afraid, it’s a signal that you have more love to give, and you should do so ASAP. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are knowledgeable people around you.

You will be actively learning and taking the notes to prove it. You’ll need this information later, so be sure to keep it in an accessible place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever mood you’re in, you’ll get more of the same. So the ability to change an uncomfortable mood or raise a neutral one to something cheerful will be the key to your well-being.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My younger brother, “Gary,” is 27 years old and lives in a two-bedroom apartment. I recently found out from a mutual friend that he is living with “Debbie,” a 17-year-old dropout. This girl quit high school, had a fight with her parents and showed up on Gary’s doorstep asking to use his spare bedroom. He reluctantly agreed to let her stay temporarily. On the second night there, Debbie decided to sleep in Gary’s bed, and you can guess what happened.

I love my brother, and he is the most considerate and straitlaced person I know, but he is very immature when it comes to the opposite sex. I was shocked by his bad judgment and asked what he possibly could have been thinking. Gary said he didn’t know Debbie was underage until after the fact. He worried about what Debbie’s parents might do. As it turns out, her parents were glad their daughter wasn’t living on the streets.

Debbie will be 18 in four months, but isn’t this still against the law? I can’t believe her parents are so nonchalant about it. My parents live out of state and know nothing about it.

Should I tell them? Should I express my concerns to Debbie’s parents or just hope that Gary will come to his senses? -- Disappointed Sister Dear Sister: The age of consent varies by state, and even in states where the age is 18, there are variations on the severity of the punishment. But we agree that if this is illegal in your state, Gary could be in a world of trouble. Decide what you hope to accomplish by telling your parents or chastising Debbie’s folks. Then urge Gary to help this almost-adult find a decent job and her own place. Soon.

Dear Annie: My husband is a chain cigar smoker. He refuses to acknowledge that the secondhand smoke is hazardous to my son and me, not to mention to his own health.

Somewhere along the way, he was convinced that cigars

aren’t as bad as cigarettes. However, I think the secondhand smoke is heavier and therefore more dangerous to those around him. Any information you can provide on the dangers would be appreciated. -- Frustrated Nonsmoker Dear Frustrated: Insist that your husband smoke outside.

According to the American Cancer Society, cigars give off more secondhand smoke than cigarettes because they contain more tobacco and often burn longer. One large cigar can contain as much tobacco as a pack of cigarettes. All tobacco smoke, regardless of the source, is known to cause cancer. Secondhand smoke from cigars contains toxins and carcinogens, just like cigarettes. And because the cigar wrapper is less porous, the tobacco doesn’t burn as completely, and the result is a higher concentration of nitrogen oxides, ammonia, carbon monoxide and tar.

Regular cigar smokers are four to 10 times more likely to die from cancers of the lung, lip, oral cavity, esophagus and larynx than nonsmokers. For those who inhale, cigar smoke appears to be linked to death from cancer of the pancreas and bladder, and also increases the risk of heart and lung diseases.

Dear Annie: I loved that you told “Head in the Clouds” to go ahead and live in Ireland after college graduation. She can invite discouraging family members to visit, and maybe they will understand. I, too, had a passionate desire to travel, and although I managed to see most of the U.S. and Canada, I didn’t go abroad until I was 47. Europe enriched my life so much, and my only regret is not having gone sooner. The history, the languages, the architecture, the art, the people, even the food added immeasurably to my life and will enrich hers.

It helped me understand where I came from, and I looked at America with new eyes each time I returned. -- Salem, Ore.

New Hampshire Art Association opens July at The Studio - Marks and member exhibition at the Silver Center Models: Matthew Best and Paul Pham

The New Hampshire Art Association is presenting a juried art show at the Silver Center for the Arts in Plymouth. The Art Association is melding its art exhibit with a summer of musical performances presented by the New Hampshire Music Festival at the Silver Center for the Arts. The show opened on June 29 and runs through Friday, August 17.

Dr. Patricia Wild, Fine Arts Department Chairperson at the Lakes Region Community College enjoyed her work as juror. According to Ms. Wild, this exhibit by mem-

bers of the New Hampshire Art Association represents an impressive cross-section of the diversity of talent and imagery being produced by artists all over the state.

“It’s wonderful to see New Hampshire’s artists pushing the boundaries of what is possible, both in their personal interests and ideas, and in the use of media.

Finding and giving form to a personal voice and vision is the core of the art process, and is not for the feint of heart. I hope visitors will find themselves engaged and enriched by this exhibit,’’ says Wild.
