LACONIA — The Planning Board last night unanimously approved plans to complete the second phase of the transformation of the former AllenRogers factory into Beacon Street West with the conversion of the large central building to 26 apartments and the reconstruction of the adjacent building straddling the Perley Canal. A dozen residents of the 68 condominiums at Beacon Street West expressed concerns about the adequacy of parking to accommodate additional development and the impact of rental units on their property values. However, developer Eric Chinburg, who met twice with residents before the meeting, assured the board, and some of the residents, that their reservations would be addressed.

LACONIA — A woman who yesterday said she was the daughter of a woman who police said died of an apparent overdose of pain medication Sunday night said her mother was “very much loved and would be missed.” The woman, who didn’t want her name used, said she was taking the remains of her mother’s things from the apartment at 8 Arch St. and returning back to her home in Vermont. “I’ve lost my mother and my brother,” she said. “I’d have to say this has been the worst day of my life.” According to Laconia Police, wo people — a 53-year-old woman and her 33-year old son — died within a week of each other because of an alleged overdose of Fentanyl. No names have been released. The Daily Sun learned yesterday the deceased were both named Smith but no further identification has been offered. The woman who said she was the victims’ sister and daughter said her brother, who died about one week ago, had “very recently” been living with their mother. The woman said she was told by city police that it can take as many as two months to get toxicology results from the N.H. see Od page 12

ONONDAGA, N.Y. (AP) — A man riding bareheaded on one of about 550 motorcycles in an anti-helmet law rally lost control of his cycle, went over his handlebars, hit his head on the pavement and died, police said Sunday. The motorcyclist, 55-year-old Philip A. Contos, likely would have survived the accident if he’d been wearing a helmet, state troopers said. The accident happened Saturday afternoon in Onondaga, a town in central New York near Syracuse. Contos was driving a 1983 Harley-Davidson on a helmet protest ride organized by the Onondaga chapter of American Bikers Aimed Towards Education, or ABATE, troopers said. The organization states that it encourages the voluntary use of helmets but opposes mandatory helmet laws. Contos, of Parish, hit see HELMET page 10

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony’s eyes welled with tears and her lips trembled as the verdict was read once, twice and then a third time: “Not guilty” of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Outside the courthouse, many in the crowd of 500 reacted with anger, chanting, “Justice for Caylee!” One man yelled, “Baby killer!” In one of the most divisive verdicts since O.J. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murdering his wife, Anthony was cleared

Tuesday of murder, manslaughter and child-abuse charges after weeks of wallto-wall TV coverage and armchair-lawyer punditry that one of her attorneys denounced as “media assassination.” Anthony, 25, was convicted only of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators who were looking into the child’s June 2008 disappearance. Anthony could get up to a year behind bars on each count when she is sentenced Thursday. But since she has been in jail for

nearly three years already, she could walk free. Had she been convicted of murder, she could have gotten the death penalty. After a trial of a month and a half, the Florida Ninth Judicial Circuit Court jury took less than 11 hours to reach a verdict in a case that had become a national cable TV sensation, with its CSI-style testimony about the smell of death inside a car trunk and its storyline about a seemingly selfcentered, hard-partying young mother. see ANTHONY page 8

PARIS (AP) — A young French author has formally accused former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of attempted rape, breaking her long public silence with a dramatic account of fending off an attacker who ripped at her clothes as they fought on his apartment floor. Tristane Banon’s criminal complaint, which was filed Tuesday, was already spawning an ugly public battle that appeared to be dividing France and follows trans-Atlantic mudslinging over the Guin-

ean chambermaid who accused StraussKahn of forcing her to perform oral sex in his New York hotel room. The sudden weakening of the maid’s case because of New York prosecutors’ doubts about her credibility revived hopes in Strauss-Kahn’s Socialist Party that he could return to France and retake his position as the strongest potential challenger to conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy in the 2012 election. Those hopes could be undermined by the

31-year-old writer’s legal action, which is expected to set off a lengthy preliminary investigation by prosecutors into whether there is enough evidence to pursue a case in France. While many here saw Strauss-Kahn, 62, as a victim of rough U.S. justice, the French public may recoil at a drawn-out case in French courts brought by a woman whose mother is a Socialist Party official. Polls already have found French voters evenly divided over whether they want Strausssee STRAUSS-KAHN page 11

LAUREL, Mont. (AP) — Crews cleaning up an oil spill on the Yellowstone River faced difficult conditions Tuesday as the scenic waterway rose above flood stage and stoked fears that surging currents could push crude into undamaged areas and back channels vital to the river’s

prized fishery. Conditions on the swollen Yellowstone have hampered efforts to find the cause of Friday’s break in the 12-inch pipeline that spilled an estimated 1,000 barrels of crude oil. The river has been flowing too swiftly for crews to reach some oiled areas, and

forecasters said mountain snowmelt was adding to high water levels. Officials speculated that the surge may push oil into areas that haven’t yet been damaged. Much of the riverbank also is covered with dense underbrush, making it difficult see YELLOWSTONE page 12

Americans want higher taxes on rich people Poll after poll shows that the American people want higher taxes. That’s not the same as liking higher taxes. The people have simply concluded that higher taxes are preferable to the alternative — so vividly portrayed in the Republican plan to do away with government guarantees in Medicare. And Republicans don’t even have that ugly option to offer anymore. After voters in western New York rioted over it by handing a formerly safe GOP congressional seat to a Democrat, many Republicans have been jumping ship. Odd that House Speaker John Boehner continues to sail on with nothing in the hold but a vague threat to let America default on its debt if ... if what? If Democrats refuse to make the drastic spending cuts Republicans are afraid to push. What do the American people think? A Quinnipiac poll found that 69-percent, including nearly half of Republicans, want taxes raised on households making more than $250,000. A later Ipsos/Reuters polls shows three-fifths wanting to raise taxes to cut the deficit. When President Obama recently urged Republicans to accept some tax increases as part of a deficitcutting deal, the ship stayed dead in the water. “The American people know tax hikes destroy jobs,” Boehner stated. Is that so? Perhaps the people remember that in 1993 President Clinton signed a tax increase that helped set off an economic boom and job bonanza. Why? America had shown a willingness to start paying its bills, and investors responded with enthusiasm. In this case, higher taxes created jobs. Clinton left a budget surplus that his successor, George W. Bush, quickly squandered with tax cuts. Even then, polls showed public support for them only on the understanding that the surpluses would continue. They famously did not. Today, high-tax Sweden has only 7-percent unemployment, while ours is 9-percent. How come? Before the 2008 economic meltdown, Sweden prudently maintained a budget surplus equal to 3.6-percent

of its economy. Bush’s America was running a 3-percent deficit. So guess which country was better prepared to weather the deep recession that followed? In the recent first quarter, Sweden’s economy expanded at an annual rate of 6.4-percent, while ours grew a mere 1.9-percent. Meanwhile, no one in Sweden is threatening the health care security of anyone, much less the elderly. Offering no serious deficit plan that the public can stomach, what Republicans have left is a political plan. Here’s how it goes: After the 1993 tax hike, Democrats suffered grievously at the polls. Though other factors were involved, Republicans pounded them on the tax increase, despite its affecting only high-income households. At the same time, they hearkened back to Ronald Reagan’s famous tax cuts, even though the Gipper had also raised taxes 11 times, and still, the national debt doubled during his two terms. Republicans also recall the beating President George H.W. Bush took from the party’s anti-tax cultists after he broke his pledge, “Read my lips, no new taxes.” That raising taxes was the responsible thing to do back then did the elder Bush little good. Many voters who bought the voodoo that tax cuts automatically pay for themselves, and more, are older now, and some are wiser. America must curb spending for sure, but clearly no tolerable path away from the deficit cliff can skirt the revenue side — especially when federal tax collections (relative to the gross domestic product) are the lowest they’ve been in 60 years. The Good Ship Tax Cut has run its last cruise. The hard fiscal realities are getting harder to ignore, prompting even recovering tax-aphobes to take a sedative and say, “Yes, new taxes.” (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.)

That makes 4 drug OD deaths here since April, that I know of To the editor, The drug use in Laconia has got to stop! I just read in the Monday edition of the Union Leader that two more in Laconia have died in the past week, from an overdose of a drug called Fentynal. It is a narcotic used for treating pain. That makes four deaths since April that I know of. I know the LPD is working to curb the drug problem in Laconia, but it’s also up to the people using the drugs. How many more have to die before people start realizing that drugs kill! There’s only so much the police depart-

ment can do, it’s up to the people as well to step up and stop using drugs. I’m glad I never got into that stuff, it’s very hard to stop once you’re hooked. Why do people have to do it? What do they get out of it? I know it makes them feel good while they’re high on it but once they come off they feel twice as bad and then they need more and more and before they know it, they’re addicts. This has got to stop though. I am tired of reading about young people dying and throwing their lives away because of drugs. Derek Morrissette, Laconia

LETTERS I will promote an animal rights protest if circus returns to Laconia To the editor, The circus has come and gone. Good riddens. As a member of the Animal Legal Defense Fund (www.aldf.org) and the ASPCA, I like to keep up with the modern findings of animal intelligence and how each year we get closer to proving what many of us already know; animals have feelings both physical and emotional. ALDF and its supporters, Bob Barker to name a more known representative, has seen to it that there are animal law courses in the U.S.’s top 10 universities. Friday afternoon, I had an open mind when I took a walk over to just stand and observe the gentle giants that elephants are. A man came out of a trailer so I asked if he worked with the elephants and he replied that he did. His responses at that point were defensive and he made little eye contact. I told him that I was hoping that the circuses of today had changed their way of “training” (in this case, elephants) and then added, “In my opinion most people come to the circus with young people to show them the animals and in doing so they will want to learn about them and protect them to prevent extinction. I expected the circus pitch and some upbeat information. He replied, “Animals have more of a chance of extinction in the wild then with us”. (Sadly true as elephants can live a half-century or more enduring a life sentence in circus life.). You may enjoy reading Time magazine’s Aug 16, 2010 cover article, “What Animals Think”. I shared this with him and added that “some animals can smell cancer, detect diabetes, predict seizures and even earthquakes.” He seemed disinterested. The attendant then said to me, “Animals don’t have any feelings.” I replied, “Then I guess I have my answer.” I

turned to leave when to my dismay, he then added that smacking your children isn’t torture either! I said, “Both can be done with a reward system and circuses do not train with an award system.” No audible comment. I walked off adding that I would promote an animal rights protest if they return in the future. There were no raised voices or profanity used. I did not get this man’s name but he was pictured on the Saturday, July 2 edition of The Laconia Daily Sun wearing black, behind the other attendant. Elephants are proven to be very group bonded, intelligent beings who can actually mourn. Being chained to shift weight from one foot to the other is only one example of circus cruelty. See baby elephants “trained” at www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com . “Training” is one area that the AWA is trying to improve on. The Animal Welfare Act, on April 5 & 6, 2011, held a meeting by the USDA regarding the truths and myths of elephants and tuberculosis risk to themselves and the public. In unbiased fairness, I await the findings. I have spoken with Mr. Vachon of our local American Legion prior to the refusal of the Memorial Middle School/Opechee field as a site and again Friday afternoon when I returned home. I expressed the above exchanges and also about residents using their own fireworks as it is the July 4th weekend. I read the following day that he hopes to bring the KellyMiller Circus back again and again. His raising money for scholarships is noble but perhaps it could be done in another way. This is only my opinion but I know many others that share it. Too each his own but educate yourself and then make your own informed opinion. I hope to see these cruel shows banned in my lifetime. D.

LETTERS Our local hospitals are lean & efficient & can’t absorb these cuts To the editor, The state budget bill recently passed by the N.H. House and Senate, which Governor Lynch decided to neither sign nor veto, took effect on July 1st, 2011. One means of balancing the budget has resulted in what amounts to a tax on our hospitals. The state will no longer return from federal grants, what hospitals pay to the state (currently 5.5-percent) as the the Medicaid Enhancement Tax (MET). The state will no longer give “ rebates” to hospitals, which was based upon the amount of charity care each hospital provided. The State is keeping it all and our elected officials in Concord are telling us it’s good for business and will create jobs and help grow the economy. I think not. Last week, a joint letter from Henry Lipman, the CFO of Lakes Region Healthcare in Laconia and Michele McEwen, the President and CEO of Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth was published in a local paper and described in a nutshell the impact of this tax on their respective organizations: a $9-million loss in Laconia and a $5-million loss in Plymouth. I am a front line caregiver, and have been for 30 years, and I find this tax to be very troubling. So too should the general public. Hospitals are already lean and efficient operations and unlike our federal government, can’t simply print more money to pay the bills. Cuts will have to come from somewhere and the public will be impacted. Particularly galling to me as a respiratory therapist who sees on a daily basis the effects of cigarette smoking

on public health is a $.10 cent per pack cut in the cigarette tax, already the lowest in New England. N.H. Deputy House Speaker Pamela Tucker (R) was quoted in Seacoast Online as saying “I abhor smoking, hate it, and I hope my daughters never smoke. But if people are going to smoke, we hope they buy more here,” Does she also hope they receive their health care here in New Hampshire? You have got to be kidding me, Pamela. Didn’t we just ban smoking in restaurants a few years ago? See anybody smoking in the statehouse recently? And the cost of so called “ charity care” keeps increasing. More people are seeking primary health care in the emergency rooms around the state which is by far the most expensive place to manage and deliver care. Not to mention that these patients also do not have access to proper preventative care which would reduce or even prevent ER visits or perhaps those that smoke can have access to smoking cessation classes. It seems as if our budget crafters don’t understand that there is a limit to what our hospitals can reasonably expect to absorb. Cuts of $5-million or $9-million (or even more in some larger medical centers) will be devastating and have to come from somewhere. Republican House Speaker William O’Brien said that this budget restores what makes the Granite State special. Not so special to those that will have to do more with less. Maybe he means the low cigarette tax? That is special, Bill. Paul T. Punturieri Moultonborough

I appreciate that our lawmakers were unafraid to roll up their sleeves To the editor, Whether Republican or Democrat, you can thank our legislators for where we are today! Once again, we are headed in the right fiscal direction. We will remain a state without an income tax. We have balanced the budget. We are no longer mortgaging our future. Four years ago, our legislators forgot their heritage and started a steep 24-percent increase in state spending at a time when our New Hampshire economy was stalling and unemployment was rising. This rapid growth was financed with one-time stimulus spending, bonding state operating expenses, and over 100 new taxes and fees on the backs of the state’s taxpayers and business community. The taxpayers of New Hampshire responded to this irresponsible, out-ofcontrol spending and taxing in November 2010. The message was loud and clear: stop the spending, stop the taxing, and get our fiscal house in order. Families and businesses have had to cut back, control spending, and live within their means — it’s time for from preceding page and old people of all religions and cultural backgrounds. Every year, the Jewish Food Festival is followed weeks later by a similar outpouring of traditional food by the Greek community. Every year, there is enough time to digest these traditional dishes before

state government to do the same. The new legislature was faced with a nearly $900-million deficit and an unbalanced FY2011 budget. There were difficult choices to make, but the House and Senate did not shirk their responsibility to craft a responsible budget. It is important to remember that legislators came into their new jobs knowing there was a big problem facing them — a problem many of them did not create, but were willing to honestly address for the future of our children and our state. It is also important to remember that it took years of irresponsible action (over-estimating revenues and over-spending) and unfortunately, it will take years to repair the damage that was done. I appreciate that our legislators were unafraid to roll up their sleeves, do the hard work and make the difficult choices that had to be made, in order to get our state headed in the right direction. Thank you and keep up the good work! Ron Ward Hebron

To the editor, What are the consequences of believing each of the two world views that I described in my last two letters? Of course each of us develop our own world view without which we have difficulty orientating ourselves in the world, which is why people are so resistant to examine reasonably things that might undermine that belief system by which they make sense of the world. Most world views held by people living in America, I believe, are a hybrid of these two that I discussed previously. Yes there are other views gaining traction here and yes they are added into the mix that make up personal world views, but for the sake of discussion I will stick mostly to the two views that I have already introduced — the Christian view and the secular humanist view, which is atheistic at its core, a feature that, because of the unreasonableness of atheism will give way, first to a pluralistic society, which is already happening and then to a false world religion of which was prophesied in the Bible. The purpose of secular humanism has been to lay the ground work in the project of creating a society in which the later institution in that series can take root. This transformation has been particularly important in the U.S.A., where our society and customs had been based on the Christianity of the reformation, and beliefs held, customs observed, and institutions derived from these Christian beliefs; and these have needed to be changed incrementally and imperceptibly until we had a present generation to whom the truth of our history has not been faithfully handed down, whom are largely ignorant of what has gone on before. You be the judge of whether these changes are progress or not. Because of the letters that I’ve been reading in the local papers concerning this, I’ll take a moment to deal it. There has since the beginning been many points of view. You can pick a time in history and find multiple views existing. You can quote people or an excerpt from a document from another generation and use these to support what you believe and say, “see this generation really believed like me”. Unless you’re familiar with the actual history and more than just

receiving one point of view, you have no idea who to believe. There so much information out there today, that it just compounds the ancient problem of discerning the genuine. Yet it can be discerned. The humanist view starts with evolution — life starts randomly from non-life. There is no design intent, no Creator. There is no ultimate morality. There is no script to history. We shape history pragmatically as we go. We respond only to the challenges put on us by nature. We use our human understanding solely to navigate the challenges of our world today. This is a view that is driving the world toward the “reasonable” view that we need a world government to solve the many problems that we face in the world today. Of course the lack of spirituality of this view actually renders it untenable in a world that clearly has a spiritual dimension. So it is giving way to pluralism. Which because of the conflict created by many religions, this leads to you guessed it, a one world government with one religion. So much for separation of church and state. The Christian view informs us that the things deduced above from the study of history, a knowledge of the Creator, and a reflection on our current times have been predicted from of old. Scripture cannot be broken and events prophesied in them must happen in their time. We as humans cannot know the hour or the day, and we can be mistaken as to the season, yet make no mistake about it, the things prophesied in the Bible must take place. At the end of that time Jesus will return in the clouds. As citizens of a democratic republic, Christians and other discerning people have a responsibility to exercise the perogatives that we have as free citizens to affect the make up of our government at all levels, and to shape public policy to reflect truth and righteousness and not evil. Yet when the day comes when men will no longer tolerate these, know that those days are fore-ordained and that the only thing that really matters is to abide in Jesus Christ and walk in obedience to Him until the end or death.

I applaud initiative taken by students who followed Romney in parade To the editor, July 4 in Laconia witnessed an improved, people-powered parade. Congrats to the parade meisters who roused varied participants to have the fun of marching, the day we celebrate our freedom won from England in 1776. Following behind Republicans and presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a group of students, addressing their grievances with Romney’s military budget position, by carrying a large banner reading: U.S. education rank: #14; infant mortality: #34; life expectancy: #49; defense spending: #1. Hey, Mitt: no budget cuts to fund war! In Opeechee Park at the end of the parade, I witnessed a blue-shirted Romney supporter, a child, run up to the students quietly standing with

their banner, and disrespectfully blow a long toy horn in their faces, then dart back to a group of adult blueshirted Romney supporters. One of the men shouted at the student contingent, “Get an education! Get a job!” Had this man read the banner? Didn’t he get it? It involves statistics, and perhaps his education didn’t equip him to understand the implication of the numbers. So much irony in this scene, all told. As a long-ago UNH grad, I applaud the initiative taken by UNH students Alex Fried, Lauren Banker, and Emily Spognardi. Also NYU student Brett Chamberlin, and Audrey Coleman and Jen Walkup, Coe-Brown Academy grads heading to UVM. Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton

Our teachers need to be protected from bad principals/administrators To the editor, This letter is directed to Mr. Earle and all others who complain about tenure for teachers. These misguided people automatically assume that all principals and administrators are upstanding, ethical citizens who only have the best interests of the students in mind. While many educational leaders are wonderful people, there are those out there who, as in any field, enter a position of power in order to bully others and exert control. To illustrate my point, I am going to tell you the TRUE story of two teachers. Teacher A worked in her field for eight years in an elementary school setting. She kept up to date on best practices, and always put the needs of her students first. She spent much of her own money on supplies for her classroom and the children under her care, and often went to work on weekends, holidays, and stayed after hours to ensure that her students had the best possible educational experience she could give them. Teacher A received glowing evaluations, recommendations, and support from parents, former students, and the administrators that she worked under throughout her eight years. As was district policy, she achieved well deserved tenure after three of those years. She also was a member of the teacher’s union, but often wondered if it was worth the extra money and considered cancelling her membership. When her ninth year of teaching arrived, Teacher A found herself with a brand new principal who had just been hired by the district. Teacher A welcomed the new leader, and made it known that she looked forward to their partnership together for the good of all children. Here is where our story takes its first sad turn. The principal decided, for reasons still unknown to Teacher A, that he did not like her or her teaching practices. The principal found reasons to “nitpick” and over the course of the year, created a highly stressful and often intimidating environment for Teacher A. Instead of coming into the classroom to be a part of the educational experience, the principal would post himself in a corner and glower at Teacher A, waiting for her to “slip up” so that he could send her a strongly worded memo later. Of course, any and all such memos would be placed in Teacher A’s personnel file. Naturally, Teacher A was highly confused and tried everything to work with the principal, take the principal’s “suggestions,” and jump through hoops to satisfy the educational leader. None of it mattered. The principal was determined to get rid of Teacher A. He increased his intimidation practices, upped the level of his “nitpicking” until it took the form of out and out harassment, and even convinced some of the less-bright parents of Teacher A’s students to complain. Teacher A’s health, sense of happiness in her work, and even her personal family life suffered under the ongoing abuse. She held on, taking each day at a time and knowing that this dark time

would not last forever. She had gone into teaching in the first place because of a great love for children and learning, she resolved not to let the principal take that away from her. Teacher A’s career was only saved by the fact that she was protected by her tenure. If she had not had tenure, the principal would have happily ended her successful teaching career and all of the children she has taught since would have suffered and been deprived of a wonderful education. Fortunately, Teacher A’s story does have a happy ending. After suffering under this principal for four long years, Teacher A’s request to move to another school in the district was finally honored. She started in her new position that following school year, and immediately impressed the new principal with her skills. Her personal file is once again filled with glowing recommendations and evaluations regarding her teaching performance. That brings us to the case of Teacher B. Teacher B was also a great teacher who had a gentle, sweet personality and a love of children. She was skilled at classroom management, and her students respected her rules while learning in a relaxed, positive atmosphere. The same principal who had tormented Teacher A was also Teacher B’s leader. Now that Teacher A was gone, the principal needed a new target. Unfortunately, Teacher B was not yet in her third year of teaching, so she was not protected by tenure. You can probably guess the end of this story. The principal kept up his barrage of harassment and intimidation (the district’s contract did not provide any protection from this kind of treatment) and at the end of the year, Teacher B found herself jobless. She tried desperately to find another teaching position, as this was her life’s goal and the career that she had strived for. But with the job market the way it was, and with applications that ask the question “Has your contract ever not been renewed by another district?” Teacher B found herself in a difficult position indeed. The conclusion of my story is this: Teacher A thanks her lucky stars every day for her tenure, without which she would be out of a job and have no way to provide for her family. Teacher B knows that she is a wonderful teacher, but also knows that the unethical principal is responsible for destroying her career. Education of our children is too important. Teachers need to be protected because the bad principals and other administrators are out there. Letters like Mr. Earle’s show a disrespect for teachers and cause others to feel angry about the fact that their tax dollars pay teacher’s salaries. Understand that teachers are the lowest paid professionals and often work many, many more hours than they are compensated for without complaint. Please think about the other side of an issue and who your words will hurt before you write. Leslie Kimball Meredith

New Hampshire Jazz Center opens in Laconia with Thursday night performance By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Jonathan Lorentz, a professional jazz musician who until recently was located in New York state, has played at venues that are great and some that are lousy. He’s played at clubs where audience members hunger for every note and nuance. His trio has also competed against a television for the audience’s attention, sometimes playing to a crowd of turned backs. When he and his family moved to Gilmanton recently, he found himself struggling to find enough local venues to keep himself busy. Thanks to a partnership with the owners of a local function hall, Lorentz is taking a run at solving this problem by creating the New Hampshire Jazz Center. The center will be located at Pitman’s Freight Room at 94 New Salem Street and will feature live, original jazz music every Thursday evening beginning tomorrow, July 7, at 8 p.m. “I’m hoping the place will be exactly the kind of place people like me want to play at,” Lorentz said. For a $10 admission, audience members will have the chance to see two sets of high-quality, original jazz in an intimate setting. And that’s all that Lorentz is offering. There’s no bar or food service, so audience members should eat dinner before coming and bring whatever beverages they’d like. A listening policy, enforced by Lorentz, will discourage conversation or use of electronic devices while the band is playing. “It’s really giving the music a shot,” he said. “I guess what I’m trying to do is create that weekly jazz club experience,” Lorentz said. “If there are jazz listeners, or people who just want to take a chance on good music, maybe they’ll take a chance on this place.” Lorentz said he’s offering a “great value” for the price. “In my mind, these are top-shelf players, the best players you’ve never heard of.” The musicians he’s signed up typically play at clubs that charge a $20 cover with an additional minimum drink purchase. Whether or not the prospect is attractive to local music fans, Lorentz has found his project an easy sell to musicians. Though many will have to travel for hours to play in Laconia, Lorentz was able to book every Thursday night through September. “The general tenor that I’m getting from musicians

is they’re appreciative of what I’m trying to do.” When filling out his schedule, Lorentz sought performers of high repute that could play two sets of original tunes. The Michael Zsoldos/Draa Hobbs Quartet will lead off. The Bob Meyer Project, with what Lorentz described as “aggressive, free jazz,” will play July 21, and will be followed by the “relaxed” sax and piano duo of Davis and Deleault on July 27. Reknowned vocalist David Thorne Scott will play solo on August 18, accompnying himself on piano. On August 25, Donkilo! Afro Funk Orkestra will play. Lorentz’s move from New York to Gilmanton was spurred when his wife Carmen was hired as the executive director of the Belknap Economic Develpment Council. The new job afforded them the opportunity to move to his wife’s hometown, where they preferred to raise their young son. Lorentz said it

had been a long-term goal of his to someday operate a jazz venue, he just thought it would take him longer. When he learned of the development of Pitman’s Freight Room, and the affinity of owners Connie and Dick Mitchell for live jazz music, he found a way to leap-frog toward his dream. Pitman’s Freight Room seems ready-made for a jazz club. The building’s shape and materials promise great acoustics and it already comes stocked with a Steinway baby grand piano. The venue has a capacity of 250, and due to the location of the stage, almost all of those seats will be within 30 feet of the musicians. “It’s so easy to be enthusiastic about this building, this space,” Lorentz said, picturing the room full of music and attentive fans. Live jazz is something of a participatory experience, he noted, where performsee next page

ANTHONY from page 2 Prosecutors contended that Anthony — a single mother living with her parents — suffocated Caylee with duct tape because she wanted to be free to hit the nightclubs and spend time with her boyfriend. Defense attorneys argued that the little girl accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool, and that Anthony panicked and concealed the death because of the traumatic effects of sexual abuse by her father. State’s Attorney Lawson Lamar said: “We’re disappointed in the verdict today because we know the facts and we’ve put in absolutely every piece of evidence that existed.” The prosecutor lamented the lack of hard evidence, saying, “This is a dry-bones case. Very, very diffisee next page


THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 6, 2011— Page 9

from preceding page cult to prove. The delay in recovering little Caylee’s remains worked to our considerable disadvantage.” Anthony failed to report Caylee’s disappearance for a month. The child’s decomposed body was eventually found in the woods near her grandparents’ home six months after she was last seen. A medical examiner was never able to establish how she died, and prosecutors had only circumstantial evidence that Caylee had been killed. The jurors — seven women, five men — would not talk to the media and their identities were kept secret by the court. The case played out on national television almost from the moment Caylee was reported missing three years ago. HLN’s Nancy Grace approached the case with the zeal of the hard-nosed prosecutor she once was, arguing that Anthony — or “the tot mom,” as Grace routinely called her — was responsible for her daughter’s death. Anthony’s attorney Cheney Mason lashed out at the media after the verdict. “Well, I hope that this is a lesson to those of you having indulged in media assassination for three years, bias, prejudice and incompetent talking heads saying what would be and how to be,” Mason said. Without mentioning Grace by name, he added: “I’m disgusted by some of the lawyers that have done this, and I can tell you that my colleagues from coast to coast and border to border have condemned this whole process of lawyers getting on television and talking about cases that they don’t know a damn thing about.” The defense team gathered after the verdict to celebrate at a restaurant across the street from the courthouse. At one point Mason was seen in the window extending his middle finger toward the crowd outside. Grace said after the jury’s decision: “There is no way that this is a verdict that speaks the truth.” Given the relative speed with which the jury came back, many court-watchers were expecting Anthony to be convicted and were stunned by the outcome. Anthony’s parents left court quickly after the verdict without hugging or saying anything to Anthony. As court broke up, she smiled broadly and tightly hugged her lawyers. “While we’re happy for Casey, there are no winners in this case,” Anthony attorney Jose Baez said after the verdict. “Caylee has passed on far, far too soon, and what my driving force has been for the last three years has been always to make sure that there has been justice for Caylee and Casey because Casey did not murder Caylee. It’s that simple. And today our system of justice has not dishonored her memory by a false conviction.” Because the case got so much media attention in Orlando, jurors were brought in from the Tampa Bay area and sequestered for the entire trial, during which they listened to more than 33 days of testimony and looked at 400 pieces of evidence. Anthony did not take the stand.

The case became a macabre tourist attraction in Orlando. People camped outside for seats in the courtroom, and scuffles broke out among those desperate to watch the drama unfold. In closing arguments, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick showed the jury two side-by-side images. One showed Anthony smiling and partying in a nightclub during the first month Caylee was missing. The other was the tattoo Anthony got a day before law enforcement learned of the child’s disappearance: the Italian words for “beautiful life.” from preceding page ers are relaxed and encouraged by feedback provided by the audience. “It makes them play better. It makes it better music. If it’s done right, it can be a fabulous experience.” For a full schedule, see www.nhjazz.com. For booking information, contact Lorentz at jon@nhjazz.com.

BELMONT — In response to reductions in its operating budget, the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will close the substation at the Belknap Mall at the close of business on Friday, July 22. The substation issued and renewed driver licenses and renewed vehicle registrations as well as registered boats. The director of the DMV, Richard Bailey, said that the closure is one of several measure that “reflect the realities of the new state budget.” Adding that “some cuts are necessary to comply with the budget,” he stressed that the agency and its staff will make every effort to maintain the quality of service. Jim Van Dongen, spokesman for the DMV, said that the nearest DMV offices to those formerly served by the Belmont substation are at headquar-

ters in Concord in the Stephen E. Merrill DMV Building on Hazen Drive and at the Tamworth substation at 1864 White Mountain Highway (Rte. 16). Both offices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. In addition to closing the Belmont substation, the DMV announced it would also close its substation in Merrimack on July 22 as well as close its substation in Berlin on Fridays and open its Milford substation only on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning on August 1. Van Dongen said that the agency assessed all 15 of its substations and hours of operations before concluding that the changes would bring the least inconvenience to the fewest number of people. He said that the DMV is encouraging motorists to renew their driver licenses on-line.

Laconia police hunting bold cat burglar By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Burglars entering homes in the dead of night while their occupants slept have stolen several thousand dollars in cash and other valuables from nine residences in the last week. Three homes have been robbed on Gale Avenue, two on Mile Hill Road, and one on Old Prescott Hill Road, Grant Street, Belknap Street and Edwards Street while a burglar fled from an address on Garfield Street upon waking the homeowner. “These are very bold, very brazen burglaries,” said Lieutenant Matt Canfield, who said although several screens have been cut, the intruder or intruders have gained entry through unlocked windows. He said that apart from cash, credit cards and small

items have also been taken. “They seem to be going for the cash,” he remarked. The burglaries appear to have occurred between midnight and 6:30 a.m.. “With this warm weather,” Canfield said, “people are sleeping with their windows open and fans and air conditioners running, which muffle the sound.” Canfield urged residents to lock their doors and windows as well as to leave lamps lit outside and inside their homes in order to deter . “We’re also asking people to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior,” he said. Anyone with information that would assist police in their investigation of these burglaries should call the Laconia Police Department at 524-5257 or, if anonymity is preferred the Greater Laconia Crime lie at 524-1717.

took place in 2003, when she was trying to interview Strauss-Kahn for a book project. Banon first recounted the incident on a 2007 TV show in which Strauss-Kahn’s name was edited out. Her lawyer began discussing the possibility of bringing charges after Strauss-Kahn’s May 14 arrest in New York, but Banon still said very little. “Tristane Banon has been telling her story for months and years. She’s filing her complaint today,” Socialist lawmaker Jean-Marie Le Guen told reporters. “In that, I see a certain opportunism that I associate with this mudslinging, these disinformation campaigns against Dominique Strauss-Kahn at the moment when American justice is about to acknowledge his innocence.” Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers on Monday labeled Banon’s account “imaginary” and said they would file a criminal complaint of slander against her. Banon told L’Express that she was tired of hearing “lies and rumors” told about the incident. “I can’t take it anymore hearing that I must be lying because I haven’t filed suit,” Banon said.

from preceding page group run of any kind,” he said. The ride, on a hot, sunny afternoon, was about 30 miles long from Syracuse to Lake Como near Cortland. No other motorcycles were involved in the accident, Alton said. “An officer of my group said there may have been equipment difficulties for the rider,” he said. “Apparently he was riding a motorcycle that wasn’t his usual one. Some vehicles have different quirks.” While mandatory helmet laws are a major issue for ABATE, the group also lobbies for numerous other issues, including adding motorcycle awareness to driver’s permit exams and fighting motorcycle-

only police checkpoints. “Awareness is our first issue,” Alton said. “A large percentage of motorcyclists killed on the highway have been because a car turned left in front of it.” New York is one of 20 states that require all motorcycle riders to wear helmets. Lobbying by motorcyclist groups has led some states to repeal helmet laws. A helmet that meets federal standards reduces the wearer’s chances of being killed in an accident by more than 40-percent, said safety consultant Jim Hedlund, of the Governors Highway Safety Association. Annual motorcycle fatalities have more than doubled since the late 1990s, peaking in 2008 at 5,312 deaths but dropping to 3,615 last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says.

STRAUSS-KAHN from page 2 Kahn to return, with women more likely to object to his reviving a political career. A poll of 860 people conducted over the weekend by the magazine Nouvel Observateur found that 54 percent didn’t want Strauss-Kahn to run in the Socialist Party primary, and 63 percent didn’t believe that he would end up running. “He grabbed my hand, then my arm, I told him to let me go and that’s when the fight started. He pulled me towards him, we fell down and fought on the ground for a few minutes,” Banon told the news magazine L’Express. She said she started kicking him with her boots, then finally broke free, ran down the stairs and called her mother from her car. “I couldn’t even drive I was trembling so much,” she said. The Associated Press does not name alleged victims of sexual crimes unless, like Banon, they choose to publicly identify themselves. Strauss-Kahn allies took to the airwaves Tuesday to try to undermine Banon and question the timing of her complaint about an incident that she says

APTS from page one Smith and Associates, representing Chinburg Builders, told the board that most of the more than 21,000 square feet in the so-called commercial building will be divided into 26 rental units. A section fronting Beacon Street West will be set aside as commercial space at the suggestion of the Planning Department. Smith said that the building over the canal would be rebuilt on the existing 70-foot by 90-foot footprint, but its use has yet to be determined. Seth Creighton of the Planning Department said that the city has commissioned a study of the downtown traffic pattern, which includes the feasibility of opening Beacon Street West to two-way traffic. A changed traffic pattern, she said would make the frontage of the commercial building and the entire adjacent building better suited to commercial uses. Smith stressed that since the roadways, drainage and utilities were completed when the condominiums were built, the remaining improvements required to support the development are minimal. Pavement will be removed and replaced with landscaping as the parking spaces and access road are reconfigured. Altogether five parking spaces will be eliminated, leaving 167, more than required. Walkways and a footbridge will provide access from the buildings to both Beacon Street West and the downtown riverwalk. Patricia Warren was among those troubled by the pressure on parking, doubting that the 50 or 60 spare spaces would be sufficient to accommodate those visiting residents as well as patronizing businesses on the property. Nor did she welcome the prospect of two-way traffic on Beacon Street West. “When I

hear about two-way traffic on Beacon Street West it chills my old lady’s heart,” she said, adding that the volume and speed of traffic represented a hazard. Marie Macozek reminded the board that parking and snow removal are already problems. She said that residents are required to move their cars so the lot can be plowed. With more cars and fewer spaces, she feared that shuffling vehicles in winter could become a major inconvenience for residents. Don Richards of the Planning Board wondered why, after building condominiums, Chinburg chose to add rental units. Chinburg explained that financial institutions were unwilling to fund either the construction or the acquisition of condominiums. Robert Curry, a condominium owner, feared for the value of his unit. He noted that a number of the condominiums were owned by investors who rented them. “The few problems we do have in our building,” he said, “are with the renters.” Chinburg explained that the apartment building would belong to the condominium association and be governed by its rules. Moreover, he said that his property management company would manage the rental units. Finally, he noted that he had developed many rental properties, which because of the quality of construction and range of amenities, commanded premium rents. In fact, ironically enough, Chinburg originally intended all of Beacon Street West as rental units, but when the project began was only able to finance construction of condominiums. In offering the motion to approve the proposal, Jerry Mailloux told the residents “you guys are lucky. He (Chinburg) does a tremendous job.”

OD from page one Medical Examiner’s Officer and that she wasn’t happy that police released the information that both her brother and mother died of drug overdoses. In a media statement issued Sunday night, police said both people “likely” of overdoses and the source of the drugs was suspected to be orally-ingested Fentynal. According to state epidemiologist Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, Fentynal is a highly powerful synthetic narcotic that comes in patch form and is typically prescribed for chronic and severe pain. She said the skin patches allow for a continued and steady release of a narcotic pain killer through the skin and are generally prescribed to avoid accidental overdoses more common in pill forms of narcotics. Like all narcotics, Alroy-Preis said Fentynal is highly addictive and its prescriptions are closely monitored and can be fatal if ingested. She said she has not heard of people abusing the patches by ingesting them and local police said this the first time they had dealt with apparent Fentynal ingestion. Police said yesterday they continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the two deaths. They confirmed the patches were prescribed by a doctor for the 53-year-old woman but declined to comment further. YELLOWSTONE from page 2 to walk the shoreline. Most observations have been made through aerial flights. Sweat-drenched workers in hazmat suits and lifepreservers slogged through the riverside vegetation under a blistering sun. Some raked oily muck into trash bags; others dabbed at blackened grass with absorbent pads. Booms to collect the oil bobbed in water, and plastic kiddie pools were set up for workers to wash off their boots once they left the water. A few miles downriver from the broken pipe, homeowner Robert Castleberry said he had been out of his house since Saturday because of dangerous fumes from oil that the river pushed across his yard and into the crawlspace beneath his house. Castleberry’s wife suffers from heart disease and the fumes gave her difficulty breathing, he said. While he appreciated the company promising to cover the couple’s immediate expenses, the retired fuel truck driver was doubtful workers would be able to clean up the black, gooey film that laced through the underbrush along the river. “Exxon’s been nothing but 100 percent with us,” he said. “But when you get into brush that thick, that’s going to be virtually impossible to clean.” Company and federal officials said they have only seen oil about 25 miles downstream from the site of the break near Laurel. But Gov. Brian Schweitzer said he believes some has traveled hundreds of miles to North Dakota. “At seven miles per hour, some oil is already in North Dakota. That’s a given,” Schweitzer said. “I’m asking everyone to get out there and report what you see on the river.” Representatives of Exxon Mobil and the Environmental Protection Agency said they had no reports of oil beyond the town of Huntley. Company officials said they were concentrating cleanup in that area, but have acknowledged the scope of the leak could extend beyond the 10-mile stretch that they initially said was the most affected area. Sherman Glass, Exxon’s president of refining and supply, said crews have identified 10 places where oil has pooled in the heaviest amounts between Laurel and Huntley. Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing has said the company is not limiting the scope of the cleanup to the immediate site. Exxon planned to test the river’s conditions with a jet boat, with eight more on standby if the launch is successful, Glass said. Water-quality tests downstream of the spill site began Monday, with more planned, according to EPA spokesman David Ostrander. The Silvertip pipeline is buried just under the bottom of Yellowstone River, delivering 40,000 barrels of oil a day to a refinery in Billings. Pruessing said it took a half-hour to shut down and seal off the ruptured

McDonald’s throw secures 3-2 Red Sox win BOSTON (AP) — Darnell McDonald hasn’t had much luck with his health or his hitting this season. The Red Sox left-fielder was feeling fine Tuesday night when he ended the game by throwing out Edwin Encarnacion at the plate on a disputed call as Boston held on for a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Jason Varitek caught the ball then hurried off the field after umpire Brian Knight’s out call. “The play was Jason blocking the plate there and getting the tag down,” McDonald said. “He did a great job.” Toronto manager John Farrell didn’t think so. “We should still be playing,” Farrell said after seeing the replay. “That play is right in front of

Brian Knight. It was clear that Edwin did a good job sliding around the plant leg of Tek. His swipe tag missed him by no less than a foot.” For McDonald, it was a rare highlight in a rough season. He was on the disabled list from May 26 to June 14 with a strained left quadriceps and is just 8 for 64 in 35 games. He’s filled in recently in left field while Carl Crawford spends time on the disabled list with a strained hamstring. “It’s been very tough,” McDonald said. “I want to do things to help the team. Obviously, I haven’t been effective at the plate. It’s a long season. ... When you’re not hitting, defense has to be on point.” see next page

CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch has signed into law a bill that allows New Hampshire communities to adopt spending caps. Lynch signed the bill Tuesday. It took effect with his signature. The law allows communities to limit budget increases by setting a percentage or fixed amount of increase to be raised through taxes above what was raised the previous year. Supporters argued the measure will give taxpay-

ers control over local budgets. Critics said caps lock in spending levels regardless of unforeseen circumstances. The law allows communities to override the caps. Laconia adopted a property tax cap ordinance in 2005 but its legality was called into question when the N.H. Supreme Court, last year, stuck down a similar measure in Manchester as being contrary to state law.

Sanbornton man charged with growing pot in basement

SANBORNTON — Acting on a warrant, town police raided a Lower Bay Road home Sunday evening and discovered what they described as a “small” marijuana growing operation. Lt. Kevin McIntosh said John Edgerton, 52, of 343 Lower Bay Road was charged with one count of manufacturing marijuana and was released on personal recognizance bail.

McIntosh said police found a few “good-sized” plants and a number of small ones growing in a small locked room in Edgerton’s basement. He said police also found growing lights and other materials related to the manufacture of marijuana. Edgerton is scheduled to appear in Franklin District Court on Aug. 8. — Gail Ober

17-year-old injured in moped accident on Rte. 3 in Tilton

TILTON — A young Sanbornton man was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital yesterday afternoon after crashing his moped on Route 3. Lt. Richard Paulhus said 17-year-old Benjamin Brown was headed from Laconia to Tilton along Route 3 when he swerved to avoid a car making a left turn onto Silver Lake Road. Paulhus said Brown was wearing a helmet and

the moped was properly registered. “I have to say he did a fancy piece of driving to avoid colliding with the car,” Paulhus said. He said Brown had some pretty serious but non life-threatening road burns and more than likely ruined his moped. Paulhus said no one will be charged and chalked up the incident to “just an accident.”

More than 40% of back and neck injuries are a result of a motor vehicle accident.

Muskrats 7-10 after home win on 4th of July; play New Bedford tonight (6:05) at Robbie Mills Field LACONIA — A week after losing a tough decision to the Navigators in Lynn, Mass., Lacoina Muskrat pitcher Chris Costantino (Walter State CC) bounced back and beat North Shore 3-1 at home on Independence Day. The Muskrats played in Old Orchard Beach on Tuesday night and return home today (Wednesday) to face the New Bedford Bay Sox on Laconia Historical & Museum Society Night at Robbie Mills Field. Game time is 6:05 p.m. After a Thursday night game at North Adams and a Friday night game in Newport, Laconia will again play at home on four straight days, starting Saturday night, again against New Bedford. Costantino seemed like a completely different pitcher since last facing North Shore. Last week, the hurler racked up nine strikeouts in just six innings, featuring a strong fastball, but surrendered four runs on five hits in one inning. This time around, Costantino mixed in more offspeed pitches and used his defense, lowering his strikeout total to four. After a lead-off ground rule double to start the game by Saulyer Saxon (Oklahoma State), the Navigators didn’t register a hit until there were two outs in the sixth inning. Costantino got his first win (1-3), going seven strong innings, allowing one run on three hits and three walks. The Muskrats offense got what they needed in the third inning. Back-to-back singles and a walk loaded the bases right away for Chris Burke (Iona), who flew out to center field, deep enough to drive home from preceding page

Brett Cecil (1-4) went all the way for Toronto, giving up two runs in the second on an RBI double by Varitek and a run-scoring single by J.D. Drew and one in the third on Dustin Pedroia’s eighth homer of the year. Toronto had just two hits through eight innings before Corey Patterson led off the ninth with a single off Jonathan Papelbon and Jose Bautista followed with his major league-leading 28th homer. A single by Encarnacion and a walk to J.P. Arencibia put runners at first and second with two outs. John McDonald then looped a single that Darnell McDonald charged and, on the run, fired the ball on the fly to Varitek, who blocked the plate with his left leg. Knight looked closely, then raised his right hand for the out sign. “Tek deserves a save,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “He’s as good at that (as) anybody in the game. That’s a good baseball play. He stuck that stump in there and didn’t let him get to the plate.

Kendall Keeton (Walter State CC) from third. Then, after a walk to Dylan Kelly (Middle Georgia College), the bases were reloaded for Chad Wallach (Cal State-Fullerton), who hit a ball deep enough to left field to bring in his college teammate Bijan Rademacher (Cal State-Fullerton). The third Muskrats run was unearned and came in the fourth when Navigators third baseman Connor Mach (Missouri) threw wildly to first base on a Keeton grounder. John Ziznewski (Rockland CC) scored. Laconia’s offense tallied nine hits, and had the leadoff batter reach base in each of the first six innings. North Shore starting pitcher Michael Johnson (Dartmouth) dealt with runners on for a majority of his five innings, in a losing effort. Brad Zambron (Grand Valley State) pitched a hitless 1 1/3 innings of relief for a long save, bouncing back from his last outing in Danbury. He struck out the final two batters to end the game. The Muskrats improve to 7-10, inching back toward a .500 record. They gain a game on the firstplace Navigators and sit in fifth place. After snapping a losing streak against the Muskrats last week, North Shore has seemingly come out of nowhere to lead the Eastern Division. The Laconia Muskrats are part of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL). The home of the Laconia Muskrats is Robbie Mills field on Meredith Center Road in Laconia. For more information or to see the schedule of play, go to www. laconiamuskrats.com. Mac made a great throw. It certainly wasn’t the way we drew it up, but it’s a heck of a way to end the game.” Did John McDonald see the replay? “Does it make a difference?” he said. “We’re sitting in here right now getting ready for Wednesday’s series finale.” Papelbon got his 18th save in 19 chances while Matt Albers (3-3) picked up the win. Boston starter Jon Lester allowed no hits in four innings before leaving with a strained muscle on the left side of his back. Francona said it had been bothering Lester the entire inning and further examination would be done on Wednesday. Albers worked two scoreless innings and gave up Toronto’s first hit, a two-out single by Bautista in the sixth. Franklin Morales and Daniel Bard each pitched a scoreless inning before Papelbon got into — and out of — a jam.

Shakespeare’s magical ‘The Tempest’ at Winni Playhouse July 6 — 16 LACONIA — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse will present Shakespeare’s last masterpiece, “The Tempest,” for the first time as part of its professional summer season July 6 — 16. Performances are Mondays at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and Tuesdays — Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Magical Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, has spent the last 12 years stranded on an island along with his daughter, Miranda, after his brother, Antonio, usurps the throne. The only other island inhabitants are a spirit, Ariel, whom Prospero holds under his spell, and the monster, Caliban, slave to Prospero. When Prospero divines that his brother and his usurping conspirators are on a boat passing the island, he conjures a great storm to bring them to him to take his magical revenge. The Playhouse’s version moves swiftly from touchingly romantic to broadly comic with elements of magic and illusion mixed in. The cast of six all play multiple roles and will maintain their American accents, as that is thought to be the closest accent to the sound of Shakespearean English. Pankhurst feels that, “while American audiences are often intimidated by Shakespearean text, I feel strongly that it is our job to ensure that the plot is easily understood.” “The Tempest” was chosen by the Playhouse to be the first Shakespeare play featured in a summer season as it allows them to showcase what they are best known for — imaginative and creative staging with high theatrical standards. The play is often considered

one of Shakespeare’s more entertaining and contains elements from all his great works including romance, comedy, betrayal, revenge and reconciliation. In a time when millions are lining up to see Harry Potter, Prospero is probably one of the first great literary magicians. Pankhurst was happy to be able to explore the play’s magical side as he has had an interest in magic since childhood and has incorporated that into the staging of the production. A favorite with Playhouse audiences, Adam Kee returns for his sixth summer to play Prospero. Rebecca A. K. Turner, who was recently featured in “Butterflies are Free,” stars as Miranda. Her castmates in that production, Dan Lendzian and Kevin Killavey, are also featured in “The Tempest.” Newcomer David Tate plays the monster Caliban as well as noble Gonzalo. Sasha Castroverde returns for her second season to play Ariel, the second spirit she has played on the Playhouse stage having been seen last summer as Elvira in “Blithe Spirit.” David Towlun and Matthew Guminski will be designing the creative sets and lights while Danee Grillo provides the costumes. “The Tempest” may not be suitable for children under the age of 10. Tickets cost $24 for adults and $22 for seniors/ students. “The Tempest” is sponsored by Laconia Harley-Davidson. On Tuesday, July 12, Tavern 27 Restaurant will host a dinner featuring PSU professor Karolyn Kinane, who will take about the main themes and

‘Man of La Mancha’ to be staged by InterLakes Summer Theatre in Meredith July 5 – 17

MEREDITH — The Interlakes Summer Theatre will present “Man of La Mancha,” the second production of the 2011 season, at the High School July 5 — 17. Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday — Saturday; 7 p.m. on Sunday; with 2 p.m. matinee on Wednesday and Thursday. This production features Scott Sowinski as Don Quixote, previously seen in “Anything Goes” and “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” and Sheira Feuerstein, who returns this year as Aldonza, after appearing last year as Mama Morton in “Chicago” and Nimue in “Camelot.” “I’m completely captivated by the music and lyrics, and I’m humbled by the ideas that Cervantes puts forth in its story,” said Feuerstein. “I think we’ve all been in a place where we’ve grappled with how we feel about the world. Well, by it’s definition, the ‘impossible dream’ that Don Quixote is chasing will not be realized. And yet, he is the happiest and noblest character in this story because he lives his ideals.” Producing Director Nancy Barry stated that “Man of La Mancha” is one of her favorite shows. “I think people forget how funny this show is. Don Quixote is a madman and his life philosophies and friendship with his squire, Sancho, are often hilarious. The score is unforgettable with songs like ‘Little Bird, Little Bird’ and ‘The Impossible Dream.’” Man Of La Mancha is sponsored by Hart’s Turkey Farm. For info call 1 (888) 245-6374.

Pooch Café LOLA

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You never want to have to worry what people are saying about you. So you’ll do as your sign mate Will Rogers suggested: “Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will cooperate with others to achieve an aim. The work doesn’t seem difficult when everyone is doing it together. In fact, life is easier when you operate within a small group. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). At the buffet of life, you appreciate all that catches your eye. But you know you’ll never be able to consume it all without causing yourself pain. So you only put the most delicious dishes on your plate. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your experiences seem to be adding up to something much better than you predicted. You feel like you’re getting closer to being the person you were always intended to be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be around and among the highly educated, but don’t forget about common sense. Knowing a lot never made anyone wise. Say less, listen more, and act judiciously. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 6). It’s your turn to receive in July, so get into gracious acceptance mode, and don’t be overly worried about when and how you will pay people back. That will happen in time. There’s a fantastic opportunity to advance your talents or professional interests in August. Love is strong in September. October brings adventure. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 24, 39 and 2.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Actors know this to be true: It’s always easier to stay in character when you’re in costume. When you look the part, it’s a breeze to act the part. Put great care into your stylistic choices. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes being around people gives you energy. Other times it drains you. The optimal scenario is to get your social interaction in small doses. A little bit of fellowship goes a long way. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll grow rich as you pair your ideas with thoughtful investigation. You’ll determine the best course of action and will be willing to adjust the plan as needed. And most importantly, you’ll follow through. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are wise not to worry about what another person is thinking about you. It’s usually best to assume people are thinking about something other than you. You’ll relax into the moment, and your concerns will melt away. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll study what has already been done, partly out of respect for the ones who came before you, but also because you realize that understanding what has been done will help you know what to do next. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The leisure days of summer will seem to you to be a myth. The hours march on, each bringing a new challenge. Luckily, you love the feeling of forward motion and are not the least bit afraid of work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Go forward with confidence. All the evidence suggests you can trust yourself. Look at how often you’ve done what the situation required. And whatever mistakes you made, you learned from.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, July 6, the 187th day of 2011. There are 178 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 6, 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order establishing the Medal of Freedom. On this date: In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga. In 1809, French troops arrested Pope Pius VII, who had excommunicated Emperor Napoleon I; the pope was confined for about five years. In 1885, French scientist Louis Pasteur tested an anti-rabies vaccine on 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by an infected dog; the boy did not develop rabies. In 1917, during World War I, Arab forces led by T.E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi captured the port of Aqaba (AH’-kah-buh) from the Turks. In 1928, the first all-talking feature, “Lights of New York,” had its gala premiere in New York. In 1944, an estimated 168 people died in a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Conn. In 1957, Althea Gibson became the first black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title as she defeated fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2. In 1971, jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong died in New York at age 69. In 1988, 167 North Sea oil workers were killed when a series of explosions and fires destroyed a drilling platform. In 1989, the U.S. Army destroyed its last Pershing 1A missiles at an ammunition plant in Karnack, Texas, under terms of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty. One year ago: Queen Elizabeth II addressed the United Nations for the first time since 1957 during her first New York visit in over 30 years; she then laid a wreath at ground zero. Today’s Birthdays: Former first lady Nancy Reagan is 90. Actor William Schallert is 89. Singer-actress Della Reese is 80. The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso, is 76. Actor Ned Beatty is 74.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 6, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am constantly getting chain-letter e-mails from a friend I met in a class years ago. The e-mails usually contain vague threats about how something bad will happen to me if I don’t forward the letter to five friends, or how good luck will follow if I do. The last straw was when she sent me one that said, “Forward this, and something good will happen. If you are not a believer in God, delete.” Occasionally, we meet in person, and our visits are always pleasant. I sometimes send chatty letters or e-mails and ask what is happening in her life, but these chain letters are the only type of correspondence I get from her in return. I find them annoying and have neither the time nor the desire to forward them along. I usually delete them. How do I tell her that I want to continue the friendship, but this type of e-mail is not welcome? -- Puzzled Dear Puzzled: Since this is the only type of e-mail you receive from her, you may as well simply assign her to the spam file. If that seems too callous, you will need to talk to her at your next in-person meeting. Explain nicely that you never forward chain letters, and since she now knows you will break the chain, she should take you off her distribution list. Dear Annie: I am the youngest of 10 siblings. We grew up poor. I put myself through school and took care of my parents financially and otherwise. I am now a married woman with an authoritative career. While I was struggling as a teen, not one of my siblings reached out to help, and I learned never to depend on anyone. However, five years ago, my 4-year-old daughter passed away. For the first time in my life, I looked to my family for support. No one came forward. My sisters decided I “needed space” and didn’t even call. We were lucky enough to have another child and have

moved forward. Now I find myself pushed aside by most of my family because they claim I think I’m better than they are. Since I’m educated, responsible and put my children first, they feel uncomfortable around me. Until they pointed it out to me, I never felt I was any different. I’ve decided never to contact them again. It tears me apart, but I refuse to beg to be part of “their” family. Tell me if I’m right. -- One of Ten Dear One: Your accomplishments may make your siblings feel inadequate and jealous. Also, being the youngest of 10 means there is a tremendous difference in life experience. Siblings who are already married with children have little in common with those who are still teenagers. Siblings with grown children may not relate to someone with infants. Often these differences can be resolved with time, but not always. This isn’t about right or wrong. It’s about what you can handle. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Michigan,” who worries her sons won’t stay close when they grow up. I have two sons, ages 27 and 29. My husband and I were very involved in their numerous activities -- volunteering in sports, scouts and school -- and we tried our best to keep the lines of communication open. My sons are now both married, and we are fortunate to have wonderful daughters-inlaw and adorable grandsons. Our sons are successful in their personal lives and still call regularly and try to see us as often as possible. We have dinners together, go to sporting events or just spend time at each other’s homes. Please reassure “Michigan” that she is doing a wonderful job and it will pay off. I’m sure her boys will stay close, and she’ll also get the girls she never had. In return, they will have a very special mother-in-law. -- A Mom Always

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, July 6, 2011— Page 23

‘Inside and Out’ exhibit opens at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery July 6 CENTER SANDWICH — Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery will present “Inside and Out,” an exhibit of objects inside the gallery and outside on the lawn, opening July 6. Outside, Boston artist Madeleine Lord’s “Flower Garden,” with ingenious specimens made from scrap metal gleened from her local dump, is featured. Inside the Gallery will be Bridgewater artist Shandra McLane’s colorful and intriguing fused glass bowls; Sandwich artist Robin Dustin’s skillfully wood turned vessels; and metal work by Sandwich artist Kathryn Field. Lord gives new life to metal and steel scraps found at the dump in “Flower Garden.” The transformed pieces become flowers, dogs, fish, birds, clothing and anything her imagination can conceive of. In “Beg Red” an old typewriter is the flower’s center. In “Sun Flower” the top of a grill is the flower’s center while horseshoes climb the stem.

McLane’s bowls are each sculptures that command their own space and presence. About her work, the artist writes, “Luminous, strong, clear, direct, delicate yet bold. These complementary opposites in glasswork are evident, both in the material itself, and in the design and process I employ in my studio. Light, color, form and texture are combined at its essential core.” Dustin’s bowls, plates, platters, and rolling pins fascinate visitors to the gallery. Incorporating the pattern of the wood’s grain into a piece or sometimes leaving holes just where they are are part of Dustin’s inspirations. Adding color and sometimes other creative materials give her pieces a very special artistic quality. A teacher at The Holderness School, Field is a sculptrice, painter, and an artist who dares to explore a host of different media to combine her talents. For several years the gallery has exhibited

her metal “sculpture paintings,” which feature laser cut images incised into steel sheets. Light passes through the cuts and reflects the shadows on the wall behind it, attracting a great deal of attention and interest. The exhibit will continue through late July. For more information, visit www.patricialaddcarega. com or call 284-7728. Also new at the gallery is Page Coulter and Dale Lary’s new book, “A River Called Bearcamp”. Coulter’s poetry and Lary’s photographs marry perfectly in their walk along the Bearcamp River. A wonderful read any day in any season. Patricai Ladd Carega Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 to 5, and Sunday from 12 to 5. For more information visit our website at www. patricialaddcarega.com or call 603 284 7728.
