Data that could lead to restoration of Weirs Beach’s original size sent off to lab

LACONIA — The city has completed its share of the field work that will provide the data for modeling the migration of sand at Weirs Beach, which in turn will underpin recommendations for restoring the approx-

Luke Powell, assistant director of Public Works, said yesterday that the last data was collected in June and forwarded to the Woods Hole Group of Falmouth, Mass.,

which last year was commissioned to undertake the study and offer its recommendations. He said that for the past year, using all the techniques of a surveyor, he has see WEIrs BEaCH page 13

Media mogul Murdoch steps up visibility in U.S. politics

NEW YORK (AP) — Rupert Murdoch has never been shy about voicing a political opinion, using his worldwide empire of television and newspaper outlets to promote conservative causes. Now, with a raft of complaints about Republican Mitt Romney, the billionaire media baron is signaling that he intends to boost his visibility in U.S. politics_even if it comes at the expense of the man conservatives hope can defeat President Barack Obama.

Murdoch is the founder and CEO of the global media conglomerate News Corp. which owns several outlets popular with conservatives in the U.S., including Fox News Channel, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post.

Until now, Murdoch has been far less influential in U.S. politics than he has in his native Australia and until recently in England, where a phone hacking scandal involving several Murdoch-owned newspapers has shaken his status as a fearsome power broker.

The hacking scandal forced the departure of many Murdoch’s depusee MOGUL page 28

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors abandoned stocks Friday after the U.S. government reported that only 80,000 jobs were created in June, the third straight month of weak hiring.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 124.20 points to close at 12,772.47. The loss wiped out the Dow’s gain for the week.

The reluctance of U.S. employers to add jobs shows that the economy is still struggling three years after the recession officially ended. An average of just 75,000 jobs were created every month in the April-

June quarter, far below the 226,000 created every month in the first three months of the year.

“It shows the U.S. economy is losing momentum,” said Sharon Stark, chief market strategist at the brokerage firm Sterne Agee. “It’s a sign of everyone waiting to see what’s next.”

Of the 30 stocks in the Dow average, only five rose, including McDonald’s and AT&T. The world’s largest producer of aluminum, Alcoa, and Caterpillar, the construction equipment maker, were among the hard-

The anemic jobs report led investors to shift money into low-risk assets. The price of the 10-year Treasury note rose, sending its yield down to 1.55 percent from 1.60 percent late Thursday. The dollar rose against the euro.

Bonding company posts bail to free Zimmerman from jail ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was released from jail Friday for a second time while he awaits his seconddegree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman left the Seminole County Jail a day after Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester granted a $1 million bail with strict conditions. He wore a white shirt and

dress jacket as he walked out and got into an SUV, ignoring shouted questions from nearby reporters.

The judge is requiring Zimmerman to stay in Seminole County. He was allowed to leave Florida after his first release in April.

Now he must be electronically monitored, can’t open a bank account, obtain a passport or set foot on the grounds of the local airport. He has a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

“He’s very happy to be out,” Don West, one of Zimmerman’s attorneys, told reporters outside the jail. “Certainly it’s been a sobering experience spending the last month in jail in that kind of environment.”

Zimmerman had been released on a $150,000 bond in April in the shooting of the unarmed black teenager, but the judge revoked it last month after prosecusee ZIMMERMAN page 10

Gov. Lynch lets bill fixing voter ID affidavit become law CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch has allowed a bill requiring photo identification at polling places to become law without his signature, but he says he hopes the New Hampshire Legislature will revisit the issue.

Lynch originally vetoed a voter ID bill in part because he objected to a provision that called for having those without identification to sign an affidavit. The Legislature overrode his veto and passed a separate bill tweaking the affidavit provision. It was that revised bill that became law.

Lynch said Friday the new bill is better but that it’s still unnecessarily restrictive.

Under the new laws, a wide range of identification would be acceptable for elections this fall, but after that, only driver’s licenses, state-issued non-driver’s identification cards, passports or military IDs would be allowed.

Body of kayaker found in river

HINSDALE, N.H. (AP) — The body of a missing New Hampshire kayaker has been recovered from the Connecticut River. Officials say 57-year-old Thomas Howell of Hinsdale was not wearing a life jacket when he went kayaking on Thursday. He was last seen around 12:30 p.m. swimming alongside his kayak in an area known to have a strong current.

Witnesses say within minutes he disappeared.

Divers from fire departments in Brattleboro, Vt., Northfield, Mass., searched for Howell, along with state conservation officers and the state marine patrol on Thursday.

N.H. lawmakers discuss possible welfare changes CONCORD (AP) — Outrage over the firing of a convenience store clerk who refused to sell cigarettes to a welfare recipient prompted House Speaker William O’Brien to call for tighter restrictions on New Hampshire welfare benefits Friday, though he stopped short of proposing specific legislation.

O’Brien met with reporters in his Statehouse office along with Jackie Whiton, who was fired in May from a Peterborough store after turning away a customer who tried to buy cigarettes using a welfare benefits card. Since going public with her story, Whiton has been featured in media around the country, sparking considerable ire among those who view such purchases as an affront to taxpayers.

“We’re not going to let her courage go unanswered,” said O’Brien, R-Mont Vernon. “We have a tradition in New Hampshire of taking care of the least able among us, and yet there is an expectation that those who we assist will receive and use the assistance honorably.”

Like other states, New Hampshire issues welfare recipients Electronic Benefits Transfer cards for food benefits, which come with restrictions, and separate cash benefits that can be spent on anything. Those cash benefits can be accessed either by using the EBT cards to pay for merchandise, or by withdrawing money from an ATM. A new federal law prohibits people from using the cards in liquor stores, casinos and adult-oriented entertainment businesses, and at least 10 states have enacted their own restrictions to prohibit using the cards to pay for everything from beer to guns.

New Hampshire’s system would be January, when the Legislature is in session again, and there are no specific proposals yet in the works. But O’Brien suggested the state go further than others in doing away with the cash aspect of the benefits altogether in an effort to stop someone from withdrawing cash from an ATM and the spending it on tobacco or other items. At a time when consumers can pay for a $1.50 cup of coffee with a credit card, there’s no reason why those who currently get cash aid can’t just use their EBT cards at the point of purchase, he said.

“It is not apparent to us... as to why there should be any cash on those cards, why there shouldn’t be just dedicated funds,” he said. “I think we can lead the way, if necessary, for the country in ensuring that funds given to folks for public assistance are used to meet the needs of their lives and not the pleasures of their lives.”

He also suggested he was open to the idea of further restricting which foods people could buy with their food aid, citing the example of one grocery store that reminds customers that they can purchase lobster with their benefits. “We know there’s an attitude out there ... that is really breaking faith with the taxpayers of New Hampshire,” he said.

Though lobster can be pricey, a glut has driven down lobster prices in nearby Maine to the point where some supermarkets are selling small soft-shell lobsters for less than the per-pound price of bologna.

Whiton, meanwhile, said she hopes her experience leads to change. The 65-year-old Antrim woman said she could not tolerate seeing welfare recipients buy cigarettes with their benefits while elderly customsee WELFARE page 13

Though finicky & difficult to ride, wetbikes still inspiring subculture of enthusiasts

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — When he was a young teenager, David Weeks was intrigued by a funny-looking contraption sitting in his parent’s garage. Covered with dust, he had never seen it run, but he liked to imagine what it would be like to operate. “I used to sit on it because it looked like a space ship,” he said.

It was a wetbike, a form of personal watercraft manufactured from 1978 to 1992. Similar in size and purpose as a jetski, wetbikes fell out of favor because they were more difficult to operate and had a penchant for breaking down. As a result, manufacturers stopped producing them.

However, there are many who, like Weeks, find themselves drawn to wetbikes. So much so that they’ve started to come together through social media as a way to source parts and expertise, and to get together for group rides. Weeks, a graduate of Norton High School in Massachusetts and a seasonal resident of Paugus Bay, started a Facebook page for East Coast Wetbikes, an informal organization that mirrors similar networks in other parts of the country. There’s a national rally held in Oklahome every Father’s Day weekend, which has recently drawn about 50 people who brought about 30 wetbikes. This August, Weeks will host his fourth annual local “meet” for owners of wetbikes and other vintage or rare personal water craft, who will gather for a weekend of socializing and riding on Winnipesaukee.

Weeks is now a student at Maine Maritime Academy, where he recently completed his freshman year in the study of marine engineering.

And that wetbike mothballed in his parents’ garage? It turned out that all it needed was a gas tank flush. Weeks, who has a natural inclination to fix things, restored its mechanicals and gave it a fresh coat of paint — it now looks as good as when his parents bought it new in 1984. He didn’t stop there, though. He scours Craigslist, eBay and other online classifieds, searching for wetbikes of any con-

dition, most of which have been buried in garages, basements and barns for years. He now has seven, some fully restored and others waiting their turn, and he’s always looking for more.

Wetbikes were first manufactured by Sprint, a subsidiary of what is now Arctic Cat. They feature a narrow body with a seat and handlebars, and that’s all that is visible above the water when the machine sits stationary. Below the surface sits two wide skis, one in front of the other, with the rear ski affixed with a jet pump, powered by a two-cylinder engine

with up to 60 horsepower. Once given some throttle, the machine rises up onto its skis and Weeks said it draws a scant three inches.

Operating it, though, takes a great deal of balance.

Its narrow footprint means it is easy for riders to tip over, especially when floating stationary. “It likes to make you look like an idiot,” Weeks explained. With some skill, though, it can make one look like a hero.

Weeks has spent many hours on his wetbikes, and once on a plane the rider looks as though he’s on a see next page

Undeveloped Laconia subdivision involved in FRM mess could be sold for $50,000

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Trustees overseeing the liquidation of assets caught up in the Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. collapse of 2009 have reached a tentative agreement to sell a piece of property along Route 106 that was to have been affordable income housing located just north of the Lakes Region Community College.

The new potential buyer, Wanton Advantage Buyers, Inc. of Candia has agreed to pay the estate of failed mortgage financiers Scott D. Farah and Donald Dodge, who owned CL&M the operation arm of the ponzi-driven mortgage company, $50,000.

Wanton Advantage must also get the city of Laconia to agree to replace a $175,000 performance deposit with a bond guaranty.

A Federal Bankruptcy Judge will rule on the offer on August 13, however there is an over-bid procedure allowed should another developer want to best the Wanton Advantage offer.

The Apple Ridge Development — officially known as Provencal Park Realty Trust, whose trustee is local Atty. Phillip Brouillard — was approved in October of 2006 by the Laconia Planning Board.

The 15.38-acre parcel was approved for 116 units

from preceding page motorcycle built for the water. In fact, that’s not far off from the riding experience. Steering is done by leaning to one side or the other, rather than turning the handlebars. For those who want more of a challenge, such as Weeks, there’s a repertoire of tricks that riders can learn.

The tricks attract attention, and Weeks said that’s part of the draw for him. “All of them have a sense of rarity — not a lot of people have them. It’s cool to ride them, people say, ‘What is that!?’”

For others in the wetbike enthusiast community,

in three buildings with a scheduled completion date of September 4, 2012. When it became apparent the project, ground has not been broken, would not be completed by then, last year the Planning Board extended the completion date to September 4, 2012.

Provencal Park or Apple Ridge is one of three properties Brouillard is developing in the Route 106/Ladd Hill area, but it is the only property where FRM, CL&M and Greatland Development Corp. played any role. Both Susan Farah, wife of jailed Ponzi scheme mastermind Scott Farah, and Brouillard were listed as co-trustees. Susan Farah is the sole beneficiary of the trust.

The settlement also references an unresolved claim by Meredith developer T. Gary Coyne who has said he purchased 12-percent of the raw land from Scott Farah in 2002.

“I would like to know how $2.4-million of mortgages and assignments were given before the city issued its permits,” he said, saying the courts are still examining his 12-percent ownership claim declining to comment further.

Donald Dodge and Dodge Financial, Inc. were the trustees of Greatland Projected Development.

The $50,000 sale price, if accepted by the N.H. Federal Bankruptcy judge, is but a pittance rela-

Weeks explained, they offer the feel of motorcycle riding without some of its inherent risks. Others are simply original owners who bought them when they were the new thing — James Bond rides an early prototype in the 1977 film “The Spy Who Loved Me” — and never wanted to give them up.

Weeks is still finalizing the details of the August meet.

tive to the number and amount of mortgages sold to raise the money for the housing project.

Bankruptcy paperwork indicated there are a number of liens on the property including a $300,000 mortgage to Greatland Project Development dated July, 25, 2005 and recorded in the Belknap County Registry of Deeds on January 20, 2006. A second mortgage to Greatland Development for $1-million was dated August 15, 2005 and also recorded on January 20, 2006.

A partial assignments of the Greatland II mortgage was sold to A. Ridge Realty Trust for $640,000 on August 15, 2005 but not recorded until May 19, 2006.

After FRM and CL&M collapsed on November 9, 2009.

Two FRM/CL&M lenders received an order to remove Dodge and Dodge Financial one week later.

A third mortgage to Robert and Gail Wales on the property for $725,000 was dated and recorded on May 5, 2006 and and fourth mortgage to Elizabeth Gates was dated and recorded on May 11, 2006 for $350,000.

Provencal Park Trust owes the city back property taxes and Judge J. Michael Deasy signed an ex parte order last week to allow the bankruptcy trustee to pay $5,800 in taxes owned from 2009 to prevent the city of Laconia from taking the property for non-payment.

In the days shortly after the collapse of the multimillion dollar Ponzi scheme run by Dodge and Farah, 14 people filed for civil attachments greater than $150,000 against FRM, CL&M, Greatland Project, or Susan Farah.

According to the bankruptcy trustees, “based on the value of the property, all liens, claims, encumbrances and interests recorded against the property, except for the first mortgage (Greatland I) and the property tax liens are unsecured.”

The sale is part of the bankruptcy trustees attempt to liquidate what property can be liquidated, take their cut and distribute what’s left to the victims of the $100-million Ponzi scheme.

Playing field now tilting away from big government The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision upholding the Obama administration’s health care legislation was a victory for the president, his administration and his party. Their most ambitious legislative achievement has not been nullified, and they are not left in obvious disarray.

But it is only a partial victory and in some ways not a victory at all, both in the short run electorally and in the long run in terms of the constitutional order.

Politically Obamacare, as its critics call it, remains highly unpopular.

It’s possible that the court decision will boost its support, but unlikely.

Most voters want this law repealed. Mitt Romney and the Republicans want to repeal it.

Barack Obama and the Democrats want to preserve it. It’s not a winning issue for the incumbent.

Constitutionally, many conservatives are unhappy that Chief Justice Roberts and the four justices generally considered liberal voted to uphold the mandate to buy health insurance as a tax, which Congress is clearly empowered to levy. But the fact remains that a majority of five justices, including Roberts, also declared that Congress’ power to regulate commerce does not authorize a mandate to buy a commercial product. This will tend to bar further expansion of the size and scope of the federal government.

Moreover, the Constitution’s limits on congressional power have now become, for the first time in seven decades, a political issue.

They’re likely to remain one for years to come.

This would not have been true had not the constitutional case against the mandate been advanced

by Washington lawyer David Rivkin, Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett and many others.

They did not quite prevail in the Supreme Court, but they changed not only the legal but also the political debate in a way almost no one anticipated three years ago.

Unhappy conservatives grumble that Congress can get around the declaration that a mandate is beyond Congress’s enumerated powers by labeling it a tax — or just by relying on five justices declaring it one. But there’s usually a political price to pay for increasing taxes.

That’s why Barack Obama swore up and down that the mandate was not a tax. It’s why Democratic congressional leaders did not call it one.

Roberts’ decision undercuts such arguments, now and in the future.

Members of Congress supporting such legislation will be held responsible, this year and for years

to come, for increasing taxes. And the Constitution’s provision that tax bills must be originated in the House of Representatives means that the party controlling the House can effectively block such measures.

That will be an argument for Republican congressional candidates for the indefinite future.

It should not be forgotten that the Supreme Court did overturn part of the Obamacare legislation, the provision allowing the federal government to cut off states from all Medicaid funding if they refuse to vastly expand Medicaid eligibility as the legislation requires.

Here, another novel legal argument, advanced by Vanderbilt law professor (and my law school classmate) James Blumstein, found favor with a majority of justices. The idea is that Congress can’t use the leverage of partial federal funding to force the states to increase the size and scope of government. This seems like a principle that could work powerfully against big government policies. Medicaid has been vastly expanded over the years in this manner. Now the Court seems to be saying that that game is over.

The court’s decision elicited sighs of relief from the White House. The president’s entire administration is not in disarray. But the basic assumptions that he brought to office have proven unwarranted.

Obama followed the New Deal historians in portraying history as a story of progress from minimal government to big government and in arguing that economic distress would make Americans more supportive of big government policies.

The unpopularity of Obamacare and the stimulus package have proven the latter assumption wrong.

Most Americans are skeptical about the supposedly guaranteed benefits of centralized big government programs. And history does not move in one direction toward big government, even if it did from 1929 to 1945. Mercantilism was replaced by free trade in the 19th century, New Deal regulation by deregulation in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Supreme Court’s decision, while upholding Obamacare, tilts the legal and political playing field away from big government more than anyone anticipated three years ago, and probably for years to come.

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

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

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

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

IT it was it hasn’t worked at all. It was ALL about a giant NEW ENTITLEMENT for 30-million people. A step toward complete nationalization of health care totally RUN AND CONTROLLED by GOVERNMENT that will follow the EXACT, BANKRUPT FOOT STEPS as Social Security,

Medicare and the Post Office. YOU KNOW in your heart what I say is RIGHT! I will bet any person any sum up to my entire net worth (100 bucks) that I am and give you ten to one odds.

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

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

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

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

3. The 2.3-percent NEW TAX on medical device makers SALES (that can mean 100-percent of profits) means less investment in health care, less invention and innovation. Less of those result in living with more PAIN. It means fewer new discoveries in medical technology, fewer new knee and hip updates and a general slowdown for ALL THE NEW GEAR in general to make you feel better and enjoy life LONGER. A business area where America now rules supreme.

NOT FOR LONG. Who do you think is going to pay the new tax? YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU! 4. Less investment in health care services means less expansion, less expansion means FEWER JOBS, fewer jobs means SLOWER GROWTH, slower growth means more WELFARE, more welfare means MORE DEPENDENCE on Democrats, on Obama and GOVERNMENT.

LETTERS Let’s not support ‘entertainment’ that has ill effects on animals

Rights in Israel depend of one’s race, religion and ancestry

To the editor, People may ask WHY does animal abuse matter? As a member of Animal Legal Defense (www.aldf.org), to which I referenced recently in my circus letter, it is important to have stronger sentencing by the judges in this country. Animal Legal Defense is key in getting the laws changed so there can be better enforcement of those laws. Sadly, some states have better protection for animals than others but that is gradually changing for the better.

As I mentioned in my prior letter, our country now has “Animal Law” offered in its top ten universities. The reason ALDF seeks stronger sentencing is because statistically the people who are in the courts for domestic violence, shaken baby or even murder started out abusing animals. Perhaps this went on for a long time before they were in a court of law. Treatment of animals can be a learned behavior (similar to racism) and multigenerational or it can be an outlet for feelings or power. (Many websites show animal “trainers” loving that power over a defenseless animal). We all know the story of Michael Vick . . . sometimes they need to be educated to be able to learn a different way of thinking.

Some jail programs include animal contact in their rehabilitations which can have wonderful changes.

Judges are understanding this and

To the editor, Thank you to the Laconia United Congregational Church for your support of my trip to Palestine.

I recently returned from a journey through Palestine with Interfaith Peace-Builders, and am indebted to the parishioners of Laconia United Congregational Church for their support of my trip. I am especially grateful to those who lovingly created 117 hand-knit peace dolls to give to children we met.

I thought I was well informed, but I had no idea how dire the situation is for the Palestinians. We were welcomed with warmth and generosity everywhere we went despite the desperate and uncertain situation in which these people live.

We stayed overnight in the homes of Muslim families in Bil’in, a Palestinian farming village that has mounted a nonviolent struggle against Israel’s expropriation of their lands. Five Israeli soldiers marched into town at 3 a.m. to serve papers to a person who lives there. None of the men in Bil’in sleep at night. They stay by the front doors to protect their families (and to see that we, as their guests, had a safe night).

We also stayed at the Tent of Nations where a Palestinian Christian family is finding creative nonviolent ways to live sustainably despite being completely cut off by the illegal Israeli settlements which surround

seeing the importance to society as a whole and the laws are changing.

Intervention can include strict sentencing from the first offense, anger management, community service and sometimes, to reiterate, this includes caring for animals to see their worth and feel the joy from mutual care, trust and respect that they can unconditionally give. Science shows more and more every day the things they think and can do. They can even do the same brain scans on them as humans and see their brain areas light up when they have joy, fear, loss, hunger etc. We do not understand their role in healing as yet or how some species detect illness. The future research looks bright. If only they could talk!

Currently, ALDF is seeking to have a national registry for animal abusers so they cannot have future pets.

We understand the frustration of law enforcement, which has to work inside the guidelines of current state laws despite their own personal views.

With education, perhaps our own city can send the message that we do not support inviting “entertainment” that has ill effects on its animals.

Again, we have an animal cruelty law — 644:8 — which our officers are to uphold but we also realize they are busy with other issues in the community. How many of those started out with the aformentioned?

Why don’t Republicans have plans to cover all for good health?

To the editor, It is a real shame that the Republicans can only use fear in their negative response to the Affordable Health Plan. They have been telling the small business owners that the plan is big trouble for them. This not true. Here are some facts that need to be heard.

Small businesses with less than 10 employees, average wages less than $25,000, and that provide insurance for their workers, get a 35-percent tax credit on the employer contribution to the health plan they provide (from 2014-16, the top credit will be 50-percent). The tax credit goes up to small businesses with as many as 50 employees and average wages of $50,000, although the amount of the credit decreases from 50-percent the bigger the business is and the higher the average wages. After 2014 the credit lasts for two years — so one of the anti health care talking points is that small business is going to face a tax increase after those two years. At the worst, it would be the expiration of

a tax credit. But Republicans consider even the expiration of a credit to be a tax increase. But in reality, Congress is likely to extend the credit. Under this provision, an estimated 19,600 New Hampshire businesses — which is 80-percent of small businesses in N.H. — are eligible for the tax credit.

Also, there are no penalties for the under-50 employee businesses if they do not provide health insurance for their workers.

And with the creation of the exchanges in each state, small business will be able to buy group insurance through these exchanges, which enable them to get lower insurance costs (by being part of a larger purchasing pool) than if they purchased insurance on their own.

Why don’t the Republicans come up with some positive plans to cover everyone for good health? Stop lying to everyone about the great Democrat plans.

from preceding page It is what I describe as the DEMOCRATS never ending CIRCLE OF FAILURE for AMERICA. You have only ONE CHOICE and ONE CHANCE to stop the Obama care INSANITY, that is in NOVEMBER at the ballot box.

Many Dems would have voted NO to save their own jobs. That is why

their farm. We slept in tents, had meetings in caves, used composting toilets, ate delicious food, tasted the wine they make, and enjoyed hearing their stories.

It was a shock for me to learn that Israel does not have a constitution or a bill of rights and laws apply differently depending on one’s race, religion, and ancestry. If you are Jewish and an Israeli citizen and own property you have one kind of ID. You have a different ID if you are a Christian Palestinian citizen of Israel who owns property. And there is yet another type of ID for Muslim and Christian Palestinians in Jerusalem! The list of different kinds of ID’s is a long one.

Your ID type determines your freedom of movement, ability to get to a hospital, work, or school, access clean water, what you can do with your own land, the amount of taxes you pay, and the services you get from the state.

My fellow delegates and I gave the dolls to children in East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Bil’in, Ramallah, Dheisheh, Nazareth, and Susiya. We gave them to children in the street, in homes to which we were invited, and at the offices of Sabeel and the Holy Land Trust. That was a great joy.

I am eager to have opportunities to show pictures and tell stories of the people we met in the coming weeks.

President Obama’s life has been a series of ‘almost’ cover-ups To the editor, A simple, basic reply to Steve Earle’s letter asking all those questions about Obama’s super-secrecy about his past: Steve, I have repeatedly invited you to come look at the many documents I’ve collected about Obama, which you never did. Is that because you, like many others, are afraid of the truth? Can’t accept the idea that YOU and enough Americans were hoodwinked into putting that alien into our presidency?

Again I suggest that you READ

Obama’s two books so you can understand the guy. Is it that difficult to read two books?

Obama’s mother seemed to have great connections, to help her cover up her mistake in not getting back to the USA before giving birth. Weak as that was, many saw through it and Obama’s life has been a series of “almost” cover-ups. His MOTHER was his biggest protector, BUT he HATES his mother (read his books). see next page

LETTERS Become involved in United Way’s Day of Caring, here’s how

Obama is an amateur and his foreign policy is a bungled mess

To the editor, Friday, September 21, 2012 will mark the Lakes Region United Way’s 17th Day of Caring.

Day of Caring has grown by leaps and bounds since it started back in 1996 — from approximately 35 volunteers to well over 200 last year. It could be the most impactful one-day volunteer event here in the Lakes Region!

Not yet familiar with DOC? Let us fill you in about it — it’s one of the United Way’s means to promote the spirit and value of volunteerism, increase the awareness of local human service agencies, and demonstrate what people working together for the community’s good can accomplish.

Okay, so how does this work? How can I get involved? The answer is two-fold. First, if you’re a non-profit in Central New Hampshire (Belknap County, western Carroll County or eastern Grafton County) and you have some inside or outside work that you just can’t get done due to lack of time or manpower, we can help you get it done. Second, if you’re a local business that supports your community, this is an incredible opportunity to have your employees find out what’s going on with various nonprofits by allowing them to join us to get these projects done. Last year, 32 local companies sent volunteers and/or donated goods, in just the Laconia area alone.

This is an important day in many ways for all of us involved. It is an eye-opener for volunteers — they are given the chance to learn what is really happening in their community — whether it is how the local senior centers operate, how many meals are served at the Salvation Army weekly, or what the Laconia Conservation Commission is doing to clean up Laconia. Many volunteers have continued to come back to the organization they spent the day with — the beginning of a great, long-lasting relationship.

Are you a non-profit and have projects but no time to plan? We’ll take care of that, too! We have a team of volunteers that will assist you in your planning — they’ll help you decide if a project is possible, what will be necessary for materials, how many volunteers will be needed, etc. Last year, over 40 agencies and non-profits were recipients of Day of Caring.

Got your interest? Want some more information on how you can become involved? Whether you’re a business leader or a non-profit and want to be included this year, please call the Lakes Region United Way office at 524-6864 or e-mail judi@lruw.org for more info.

To the editor, I keep expecting to hear or read that Obama is drooping in the polls of voters likely to vote but for some reason his numbers remain about the same. Why that is mystifies me. His record is so bad (how bad is it? you should all call out). His record is so bad that “reliable sources in the White House” have leaked classified information to the N.Y. Times, in an effort to make the president look good. We are all aware that the CIA informant who revealed the hiding place of Osama Ben Laden has been put in a Pakistani prison for 30 years.

I doubt he will survive three years let alone 30. This is just the highest profile leak committed by expert and so very professional White House staff. There have been a number of others. Shows their motto of “any means justifies the end” is not just words to them. National security, human lives, nothing will get in the way of their objectives.

Actually his entire foreign policy is a bungled mess. One liberal writer in today’s paper (Tuesday, July 3) bemoaned the fact that we are still fighting in Afghanistan after 10 years.

I agree with a lot of what that writer said but it all goes back to an Obama campaign promise. Remember when

from preceding page The typical crowd of “birthers accusers” will respond to all this which they are afraid to read, with more lame insults, based mainly on their refusal to admit the mistake of voting for Obama as president. It is interesting that we tend to inherit more from the

parent who is not our gender: ie I got more from my mother, and my sisters got more from my father. Seems that fits Obama: his mother was a proven repeat liar, as is Obama!

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

The Laconia Police Officers Associations To our friends, business and citizens of the greater Laconia area: Over the next few weeks the Laconia Police Officers Associations in conjunction with TCI America, will be conducting a fundraising campaign which will include a comedy show to be held September 22, 2012 at the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa, 62 Doris Ray Court, Laconia, NH. The Laconia Police Officers Associations has donated to the New Hampshire Special Olympics, The Robbie Mills Memorial Fund, Officer Briggs Foundation and the Cpl. McKay Foundation, just to name a few.

We all know that there have been past news stories about fundraising campaigns involving police and fire associations. Our association has filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General Office and they can be contacted if there are any concerns. If you are contacted about making a contribution and wish to speak with one of our members and we are not available, we ask that you please leave your name and telephone number so that we may contact you.

Please do not call or drop anything off at the Laconia Police Department so that the day-to-day operations of our agency are not interrupted.

Thank you very much, The Laconia Police Officers Association

he said: He would “make peace with direct, no preconditioned talks with America’s most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.”

The poor naive guy probably believed he could do it because he was so inexperienced in foreign affairs. That inexperience and naivete led him to drop the planned anti-missile, missile shield sites in eastern Europe.

Apparently thought Russia would be so very, very grateful they would help put pressure on Iran to halt their quest for nukes. So for the non-Koolaid drinkers I have to ask, how’s that working out for us? Did you see the meeting between Putin and Obama on the news? No question that they understood each other completely.

Pure contempt oozed from every pixel on the TVs from Putin and our president looked like a scolded puppy. I could go on and on about the failings of this president but do I really have to? Does any reasonable adult think four more years of this failed administration will yield better results?

Vote on Nov 6th, to send the amateur home. We can do so much better.

I’ve learned Sen. Forreter is a true representative of the people To the editor, It seems most people that I talk to lately are disappointed and downright disgusted (as am I) with so many of our elected officials. These feelings include local, state, and federal representatives alike and are not limited to just one party. As candidates, they purported themselves to their constituents throughout their campaigns as wishing “to represent the people” and promised to do only what was best and right for the voters that they represent. However, once in office most seem to forget their promises as well as their constituents. It would appear that their votes are actually influenced by party lines, lobbyists, and “big money.”

And so it was refreshing and a welcomed change for me to work with Senator Jeanie Forrester over the past year to pass a bill that gave the town of Rumney local control of an issue that most other New Hampshire towns and cities already have. From the outset, Senator Forrester took an

active interest in the unique problem that Rumney was having. This was certainly not the type of issue that would gain front page status, score a political touchdown, or really be of any interest to most people; but it sure was important to the town of Rumney and to two businesses located there.

Senator Forrester worked on the issue diligently for the passage of Senate Bill 340 enabling me, as a hired consultant, to further assist Rumney.

Through her efforts and hard work — problem solved!

Consequently, when I read statements in newspapers articles such as Senator Forrester has the “ability to communicate and get things done,” or “never have we had a senator who has been so responsive and interested in our needs and those of dozens of small towns throughout District 2...” I must concur. Senator Jeanie Forrester is truly a representative of the people.

Medicare pays for itself. Don’t believe it? Go to the webite To the editor, At this point in time we must keep in mind the very fact that isn’t addressed by the right, Republicans, the Tea Party and those others on the Dark Side.

Medicare pays for itself, period.

Right now and until the year 2032 Medicare is paying out benefits ONLY from the interest on the principal. In 2032, when they would have to start paying benefits based on the principal,

I’m sure that Congress will increase what working people are paying into the system.

A trio of elephants drew admirers in Laconia’s Memorial Park early Friday morning as the Kelly Miller circus arrived to set up the big top of seven performances over the weekend. (Roger Amsden photo/ for The Laconia Daily Sun)

CIRCUS from page one poised to draw big crowds.

Aaron Bassett of Laconia, owner of Burrito Me in Laconia and Plymouth, was there to watch the big top go up with his children Remy and George.

He said that he has been selling advance tickets for the circus at both of his business locations and between the two had sold over 200 tickets. ‘’There was nothing at first in terms of ticket sales, but last week they started selling real fast, and a lot of those were in Plymouth, which is really good because it shows people from all over the area want to see the circus,’’ said Bassett, who is a member of the Main Street Initiative, which is sponsoring this year’s circus.

He said that Remy was eager to watch the tent go up but was hoping that one part of the setup action wouldn’t be repeated. ‘’The elephant pooped when she was right in front of us. Remy’s kind of worried that will happen again,’’ said Bassett.

Also showing up early to watch the circus were Jay and Lynne Turmele of Alton with their boys Ryan, six and a half, and Bryce, four years old. ‘’It’s the first time for all of us to see a live elephant,’’ said Jay Turmele, who said that the family was on vacation this week and arrived at Memorial Park at about 7:45 a.m. to watch the animals being unloaded.

Ryan watched the elephants use their trunks to pull up some of the clover

from the field and said that the sight was ‘’cool’’ and that he was impressed by how large the animals were.

Turmele is a software engineer and his wife runs her own business, Oz Marketing. They planned to return to Alton and spend the rest of the day cooling off in the water before returning to Laconia for Friday night’s show.

Also arriving early to watch the animals arrive was James Power of Sunrise Towers, who rode over on his motorized wheel chair and said that as far as he was concerned the hot weather was ideal for the circus. ‘’I came last year and it was a great show. But the way my wheelchair was parked made it difficult to see everything. I’m going to leave it outside and walk in and sit in the stands this year,’’ said Power.

Don Vachon, who organized the circus last year when it was hosted by the American Legion, is again leading the organizational effort and said that the circus was so popular last year that a seventh show has been added this year.

Last year’s circus was the first held in Laconia since the early 1960s.

The show travels in a fleet of 25 vehicles and has 95 crew members.

It arrived in Laconia early Friday after performing Thursday night in Hudson.

Members of the circus said that a three-day stay, like that in Laconia, is very rare and that they’re usually on the move every day. see next page

GILFORD from page one defined under state law.

When Judge Kenneth McHugh asked Mitchell if he understood the town had to meet the challenge of convincing him there was an emergency, Mitchell said an emergency doesn’t mean a “crisis” but rather an “urgency.”

To prove his point he put Fire Chief State Carrier on the stand and asked him questions about the time-line of the when he learned that Engine 4 that was to have been repaired was not worth repairing.

Carrier said he was obeying the wished of the electorate who in March voted not to buy a fire truck and took it to Lake Region Fire Apparatus in Tamworth to be fixed and learned from them about three days later that the repairs were “the worst case scenario.”

He also testified that the mechanics at Lakes Region Fire Apparatus gave him an estimate of just under $50,000 and they didn’t want to fix the electrical problems. He said the mechanic told him he “would be chasing problems for the rest of his life.”

Carrier also explained that Engine 4 is an attack truck and has an important role especially if Engine 2 — the front-line attack truck — is occupied or out of service.

He also testified that Gilford has had four firefighting pieces of apparatus since 1968 and plays an integral role in the Lakes Region Mutual fire Aid. He said one of the tenants of membership is a community has to be able to take care of its own routine emergency issues.

Leandro asked Carrier if Engine 1 could be combined with Tanker 1 to be an fire attack engine and Carrier said it was not designed to do so because Engine 1 only carries 500 gallons of water and doesn’t have room in the cab for four firefighters dressed in turnout or firefighting gear.

Leandro also said he didn’t think the standard of emergency as is defined in RSA 31:5 was met because it would take eight to 12 months to get a new fire truck ordered and built.

He also emphasized that townspeople just voted against a fire truck in March and had taken a warrant article off of the ballot that would have allowed the townspeople to vote for some money to refurbish Engine 4.

When Leandro asked Carrier if he spoke with Selectman Kevin Hayes in January and if Hayes asked him to get an estimated for Engine 4 by Town Meeting, Carrier said he remembered the meeting.

He asked if Carrier, knowing that Engine 4 would need significant repairs and that even if the fire truck warrant article passes would still not have truck until 2012, added money to his maintenance line to keep it operating until them, Carrier said he didn’t.

“After the vote failed is when we took it to Lakes Region Fire Apparatus,” he said.

McHugh had a few questions of his own. he wanted to know how much a special town election would cost and learned that in this case it wouldn’t be much because the vote would be held on New Hampshire Primary Election Day in September.

He also asked Leandro if he was familiar with the National Fire Apparatus Association standards that recommend fire trucks older than 25 years be taken out of service.

Leandor’s main point was that if it was an emergency, the town would have done something like buy a used or demonstrator truck rather than get one estimate and ask for a special town meeting.

Horvath took him time to tell McHugh the history of the politics behind their presence yesterday in his courtroom telling the judge the town initially got information from Mitchell that they didn’t need to have a special town meeting to lease the truck as long as no many was spent in 2012.

He told McHugh the only reason they were in his courtroom was because he was asked by other member of the Budget Committee to get a legal opinion from the Local Government Center and that opinion said the town must go to court to get permission for a special meeting.

He said the most recent Budget Committee vote of 8-to-4 recommending the purchase of the truck was taken before the committee knew for sure it had to petition a court for a special meeting.

“Well I have some reading to do,” said McHugh after about an hour of testimony. “I’ll give you my decision early next week.”

ZIMMERMAN from page 2 tors presented evidence that he and his wife misled the court about how much money they had available to pay for the bond. They didn’t tell the judge that donations from a website for Zimmerman’s legal defense had raised around $135,000 at the time of his first bond hearing.

Prosecutors argued Zimmerman and his wife talked in code during recorded jailhouse conversations

about how to transfer the donations to different bank accounts. For example, George Zimmerman at one point asked how much money they had. She replied “$155.” Prosecutors allege that was code for $155,000. Their reference to “Peter Pan” was code for the PayPal system through which the donations were made, prosecutors said.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 7, 2012 — Page 11

From LRGHealthcare perspective, Affordable Care Act details highlight problems with Medicaid in N.H.

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Henry Lipman, senior vice-president and chief financial officer of LRGHealthcare, said this week that the decision by the United States Supreme Court to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA) “highlights the necessity to fix the broken Medicaid program in New Hampshire.”

LRGH is among 10 of the state’s largest hospitals that have filed suit in United States District Court charging that by reducing reimbursement rates and taxing hospital income the state is failing to meet its obligations under the Medicaid program by depriving qualified individuals access to health care.

The ACA extends eligibility for Medicaid to individuals and families with incomes of less than 133-percent of poverty beginning in 2014 but states have the ability to opt out of the expansion without threat of penalty, thanks to last weeks landmark Supreme Court decision. A study prepared for the Endowment for Health estimates that expanding the program would add nearly 39,000 people to the 163,750 currently enrolled in the Medicaid program in New Hampshire, increasing annual Medicaid expenditures by 1.1-percent until 2019. The federal government would bear 100-percent of the cost of extending eligibility until 2017 and reduce its contribution from 95-percent to 90-percent between 2017 and 2020.

Extending coverage is projected to significantly reduce the expense of cost shifting and uncompensated care, more than offsetting the cost to states of expanding enrollment.

Although the balance of power in Concord could change with the election in November, Representative William O’Brien, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has ruled out any expansion of Medicaid in the Granite State. In any event, Lipman doubted that in its present circumstances, when hospitals are limiting access to current enrollees, the Medicaid program could accommodate a significant from preceding page jury charge; she is free on bond.

Zimmerman’s attorneys said Thursday that there was $211,000 in an account, which included the amount raised from Zimmerman’s website and also money generated from another website set up by his legal team. An additional $20,000 was raised in the day after Lester issued the $1 million bond order.

Zimmerman had to pay a bond company $100,000 but also needed $1 million in collateral to secure the bail, his legal team said.

West refused to comment on what was being used as collateral after Zimmerman left the jail.

“We worked that out,” West said.

Zimmerman will stay in a “safe house” before relocating to a permanent home, and he has hired a security team, according to information posted on a website run by his legal team.

Shortly before Zimmerman’s

increase in patients.

New Hampshire is one of three states to refuse to create a state health care exchange, or marketplace where private individuals and small businesses can shop for affordable health insurance. Instead, the federal government will create an exchange here. In June, the Legislature adopted and the Governor signed legislation that would permit state agencies to work with their federal counterparts, within strict guidelines, to establish a federally-facilitated exchange.

Without an exchange, the ACA offers the option of a Basic Health Program (BHP), which would provide coverage to those with incomes between 133-percent and 200-percent of poverty. States choosing the BHP would receive 95-percent of the federal funding that would have subsidized individuals participating in the exchange and in return the state must provide coverage as comprehensive and affordable as that of the exchange. The study commissioned for the Endowment for Health estimated that the federal subsidies would exceed the premium costs by $110 per patient per month, noting the excess could be used to reduce premiums, expound benefits or increase reimbursements to providers.

Lipman said that he was not aware that state officials or lawmakers had begun to consider BHP as an alternative to an exchange.

Meanwhile, Lipman said that the litigation is awaiting a review of the state Medicaid program by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to determine whether or not the state is administering the program in compliance writhe federal law.

He said in light of the problems besetting the Medicaid program the hospitals would be hard pressed to accommodate the major changes contemplated by the ACA without adjustments in reimbursement schedules and uncompensated care payments that ensure appropriate levels of access and quality of care.

release, the Rev. Al Sharpton criticized Zimmerman for raising money through online donations. The civil rights leader and talk-show host was in New Orleans with Martin’s parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton.

“Now we see where they’re soliciting money, saying, ‘If you would have done the same thing, send money to help with his bond,’ showing no remorse over the loss of human life,” Sharpton said.

Court documents show that Zimmerman’s parents are using their house as security for the bond. But Zimmerman likely didn’t put up $1 million worth of collateral because the amount can be negotiated with the bond company and the insurance company backing the bond, said David Engel, an Orlandoarea bail bondsman.

“Do they have a $1 million worth of collateral? I’m sure they don’t,” Engel said. “There’s nothing set in stone regarding what we have to take.”

National security expert Frank Gaffney to be the guest of Belknap Republicans on Wednesday night LACONIA — The next meeting of the Belknap County Republican Committee (BCRC) will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11. Featured this month as guest speaker is Frank Gaffney, the founder and president of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C. The Center is a not-for-profit, non-partisan national security organization established in 1988 specializing in identifying policies, actions, and resource needs that are vital to American security.

It ensures that such issues are the subject of both focused, principled examination and effective action by recognized policy experts, appropriate officials, opinion leaders, and the general public.

Under Gaffney’s leadership, the center has been nationally and internationally recognized as a resource for timely, informed and penetrating analy-

ses of foreign and defense policy matters. He is the publisher and associate author of “Shariah: The Threat to America” as well as a video course “The Muslim Brotherhood in America”. More information about the Center and Mr. Gaffney can be found at www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org.

BCRC meetings are open to Republicans and likeminded Independents in Belknap County. Although the meeting begins at 6:30 p.m, if you’re interested in having dinner (at your option) or want to socialize before the meeting, plan to arrive as early as 5:00 p.m. The Committee will be meeting at C.J. Avery’s Restaurant, 10 Railroad Ave., in the Lakeport section of Laconia. For more information, please check www.BelknapCountyRepublicans.org or send an email to Alan@BelknapCountyRepublicans.org.

BARNSTEAD — The Barnstead-Alton Republican Committee (BARC) has announced that its next monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 10 at J.J. Goodwin’s Restaurant, 769 Suncook Valley Highway (Rt 28), in Center Barnstead. The guest speaker will be Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne.

Lamontagne will speak to the committee about his reasons for running, and his plans for the “corner office” in Concord should he be elected.

In addition, with numerous candidates having signed up for county positions, as well as for the State-

house, plus the recent Supreme Court healthcare decision, the committee is sure to have a lot to discuss.

BARC meetings are open to Republicans and like-minded Independents from Alton, Barnstead, and any other towns in New Hampshire. Per the usual meeting format, if you’re interested in having dinner (at your option) or want to socialize before the meeting, plan to arrive as early as 5:30 p.m. For more information, please send an email to Barnstead.Alton.RepubComm@gmail.com or check out the Committee’s website at www.BARC-NewHampshire.org

PAKISTAN from page 2 the main town in the North Waziristan tribal area, according to Pakistani intelligence officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media. In addition to the militants killed, six others were wounded, some of them critically, they said.

Those hit were believed to loyal to Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a militant commander whose forces frequently target U.S. and other NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan, the officials said. A similar drone attack Sunday killed eight of Bahadur’s fighters.

U.S. officials rarely speak publicly about the covert CIA drone program in Pakistan.

The strikes are extremely unpopular in Pakistan

because many believe they mostly kill civilians, a claim disputed by the U.S. Pakistani officials regularly denounce the attacks of violations of the country’s sovereignty, but the government has cooperated with at least some of the strikes in the past.

That cooperation has come under strain as the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated. Pakistan’s parliament has demanded the U.S. end the strikes, but Washington has made clear that isn’t going to happen.

The drones were a complication in U.S. efforts to get Pakistan to end its seven-month blockade of NATO troop supplies that run through the country to Afghanistan. Pakistan closed the route in retaliasee next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 7, 2012— Page 13

WEIRS BEACH from page one has mapped the contours of the bottom of the lake in the vicinity of the beach, explaining that the data tracks the profile of the lakebed as it changed with the seasons.

Powell said that the team at the Woods Hole Group will incorporate the results of the surveys with data they have gathered on wind and wave patterns to develop a model for tracking the migration of sand from the beach.

The model will provide the basis for recommending how the beach can be restored and held in place.

The city contracted with the Woods Hole Group in May, 2011, funding the project with $30,000 drawn from the Weirs Parking Fund, which consists of all proceeds from the parking meters in excess of $25,000 and is dedicated to improvements at The Weirs. The company has undertaken a variety of projects throughout the world and counts beaches among its specialities.

Weirs Beach is not a natural beach, but was built between 1950 and 1960 with sand dredged from the nearby channel and trucked from Gilford. The beach was built in three stages, the northern section first then the southern section and finally the middle section between, which was bounded by two jetties fashioned of iron rails, railroad ties, rocks and sandbags. A third jetty was built along the channel.

But, by 1958 erosion had already taken its toll, washing away some 2,000 cubic yards of sand. Although the sand was restored, there has been no reclamation since. Before the jetties were removed in the 1970s, erosion had shaped a scalloped shoreline. As erosion has continued to gnaw away at the northernmost reaches of the beach, sand has washed toward the channel to

form the crescent beach there today.

For years business owners at The Weirs longed to restore the beach, but were discouraged by the lack of sufficient funds and the stringency of environmental regulation. Nevertheless, in 2000 the city dedicated revenues from parking in excess of $25,000 a year for “dredging and reconstructing Endicott Rock Park Beach” and five years later created a “beach refurbishment fund,” supported by beach fees.

After the boardwalk was damaged by a flash flood in August 2008 the Weirs Action Committee (WAC) suggested restoring the beach along with rebuilding the boardwalk, but the two projects could not be undertaken at once. However, in November 2009 the WAC voted to ask the city to address erosion of the beach and the following spring Robert Ames and Joe Driscoll of the WAC, together with Luke Powell of the Department of Public Works and Kevin Dunleavy of the Parks and Recreation Department, met with Darlene Forst and Dale Kierstead of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES).

Although officials of DES had expressed misgivings about the project in the past, Forst and Kierstead assured the group that a restoration project could be pursued under the current regulations.

Powell said that Forst emphasized that the beach was a major point of public access to Lake Winnipesaukee and a significant source of economic activity for both The Weirs and the city. Later Powell was assured by Paul Howard of the Army Corps of Engineers that the agency would not intervene on a project of three acres or less, but instead would follow the recommendations of DES. — Michael Kitch

“I could not sit back and watch it happen,” she said.

Whiton had worked at the Big Apple food store for six years. She has said that when she was told that she had to sell the cigarettes, she tried to give her two weeks’ notice and quit but was fired the next day.

Chick Wilkins, general manager of the store’s parent company, C.N. Brown Company, which employs more than 800 workers, said Whiton was

given the opportunity to keep her job as long as she complied with store policy and federal and state regulations.

“Our employees cannot impose their own personal biases over these products and make decisions about what will and will not be sold to individual customers,” he said. Workers “may have individual opinions about many of the products sold in our stores - tobacco, wine, beer, condoms, high-calorie products - but these products must all be made equally available to all eligible purchasers.”

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

‘Kinda pending’ As of July 1, there were 1,328 residential homes for sale in the communities covered in this Lakes Region real estate market report. The average asking price for those listings was $503,419 and the median price point was $259,900. These numbers are down a bit from last July 1 when there were 1,389 listings on the market at an average asking price $525,250. The current inventory level still represents an 18 month supply of homes to sell which is considerable, but it is far better than the 23 months supply we had last July. Hopefully, we will have a good summer sales season and whittle the available inventory down to more acceptable levels.

Of the 1,328 listings available as of July 1, 82 of these are in what is referred to as “contingency” status. When a property is put in a “contingency” status it means that the property is under contract with some conditions that need to be cleared before it is changed to pending. You know, the house is “kinda pending”, but not all the way.

There is a good possibility the deal will close, but there is also a possibility that it won’t.

There are many different contingencies. The most common ones are inspections and financing. Just about every offer is contingent upon those except some cash deals, so these probably shouldn’t really be contingencies. They never were

until recently. It could be that the agent has received an offer on a home that is a short sale and they are waiting for the lender to approve the transaction. It could also be that an offer has been accepted on a bank owned property and that they are waiting for the purchase and sale agreement to be finalized.

In some cases the buyer needs to find out about certain zoning issues that would affect his ability to buy the property for the use intended. Or a listing is pending contingent upon the stars aligning just so.

Another big contingency is that the buyer of the property needs to sell his own property before he can purchase the new one. In this case there usually is another clause added to the purchase and sale to allow the seller of the property to accept another offer if the first buyer cannot complete the transaction in a specific time period. This is what we call a “kick-out” clause and the time frame usually, but not always, is 72 hrs. Obviously, not many buyers find someone to commit to buying their home in 72 hours and they are kicked out of the deal so to speak. But sometimes the buyer can get a bridge loan or take some other action that will satisfy the seller to ensure that they will purchase the home. If they can’t, buyer #2 gets the home. see next page

Community College System of NH is hiring CONCORD — The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) is hiring individuals for a variety of positions as part of an initiative to develop and deliver job training programs for advanced manufacturing at its seven colleges statewide. CCSNH will seek applicants for a variety of positions needed to implement the programs.

CCSNH was awarded a $19.9 million grant through the US Department of Labor, Employment and Training Division, to develop and deliver job

training programs in connection with NH employers in the advanced manufacturing industry. Programs will be run from each of the seven NH community colleges, located in Portsmouth, Nashua, Manchester, Concord, Claremont, Laconia and Berlin.

Interested persons are encouraged to apply at www.ccsnh.edu/hiring.html.

Not all positions are offered at each location. The hiring timetable for positions will vary. Check the website for details.

from preceding page We often get calls from prospective buyers who want to see a home that is in this contingency status.

They usually don’t know about the contingency because many websites just don’t denote it. Many sites just show these listings as being current while other do show that they are “under agreement” or in “contingency.” We can quickly check to see what the contingencies are. If there is a 72 hour kick out clause or a notation that the seller is taking back up offers, it might just be worth the time to go out and look at the property and possibly step into first position if the buyer likes the home.

So that’s the scoop on this “kinda pending” status.

Like the term “kick out” clause, I think “kinda pending” is much more descriptive than “contingency,” don’t you? Maybe I can get them to change that down at the MLS...

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been with “Jason” for eight years, married for four. Between us, we have raised five children.

The problem is that Jason is controlling and verbally abusive. When we met, I was willing to overlook many things because he was so good to my kids. As a single mother, I needed the stability he could provide. But a couple of months ago, I reached my breaking point, and now I want out.

I stay in the home only because I don’t want to leave my stepdaughter. Believe me, Jason is the type of guy who will make sure I have no contact with my stepdaughter simply out of spite. And it would devastate my two sons. They think Jason walks on water.

A separation or divorce will leave my children fatherless, as well, since their biological father has never been in the picture. But I am finding it hard to pretend everything is fine.

The kids sense something bad is happening, and they barely eat, sleep or talk. Leaving seems selfish, but staying would sacrifice my sanity. -- Nevada Dear Nevada: Have you and Jason attempted counseling?

He may not realize how close you are to walking out, and he might be willing to work on your problems in order to save the marriage. And no matter what you decide, please get counseling on your own and consider letting your children see someone, as well. They are suffering, too, and the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. All of you could use some ongoing guidance.

Dear Annie: My sex life has always been important to me.

My wife and I are in our early 60s. This is my third marriage.

For the first three years, the sex was good, but the past two have been a problem.

I tell my wife that I am going upstairs and getting ready for bed, and I mention having sex, and she tells me that she will

be up in a few minutes. About four hours later, she comes to bed saying she fell asleep watching TV. After several of these excuses, I asked her to be honest. She insists there is no problem.

When she works, she doesn’t want sex, so this weekend I asked if we could have sex, and she said OK, but again fell asleep in front of the TV. She promised to make it up to me the next night, but it was the same story. This upsets me.

I am thinking of divorce. She told me that she and her last husband were like roommates, and I feel it is happening in our marriage, too. Any suggestions? -- Lost in El Paso Dear Lost: We will say that your approach is a bit lacking.

“I’m going to bed and I’d like sex” is not quite the turn-on you might think. It also is not uncommon for women past menopause to lose desire. Gently suggest to your wife that she talk to her doctor about hormonal help for her libido. Then please work on your romantic technique, and find out what will make her more interested in intimacy.

Dear Annie: My deep sympathy to “Indianapolis,” whose evil sister-in-law is keeping the family from seeing their dying brother.

My uncle married a woman who did her best for 35 years to keep him from the rest of the family. She was petty and nasty and had our uncle wrapped around her finger. When he became ill, she didn’t tell us he was in hospice. We’d call their house, and she’d say he was too tired to talk. Then she told us to stop calling because the phone disturbed him. We didn’t find out he had died until a cousin wrote with condolences.

We’ll never know what our uncle saw in that woman. There are people who are just mean beyond redemption. Hell is sure going to be crowded. -- Sad Just Thinking About It

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When a person makes a minor mistake, you are usually the first to diffuse the attention and minimize the damage. Making it easy for people to forgive themselves is one of your many talents.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Let someone invest time, energy and attention in you even if you don’t need all of the fuss. This person will feel more attached to you because of the investment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your need for personal growth can be met, but there’s something standing in the way right now. A clearing must occur in order for you to move forward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one likes complainers, but there is no reason you should back down from airing a legitimate grievance. Standing up not just for yourself but also for others will bring rewards.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

People don’t always do what makes sense. That’s human nature. You will merrily stroll down the sensible path as long as you see yourself as the kind of person who should receive the reward at the end of that path.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 7). You are spiritually liberated and personally committed to making the world a better place. You’ll meet special friends this month. In August, you won’t travel far, but you’ll travel deep. October is your chance to connect with people you admire and work toward a mutual benefit. November brings financial luck.

Aquarius and Gemini people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 14, 40, 39, 20 and 17.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A wise man once said, “Nine times out of 10, it’s not personal.” Even though you may feel slighted, remember to give others the benefit of the doubt before you take offense.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s not that you don’t like to be around people; it’s just that you honestly don’t need anyone now. You feel deliriously satisfied in solitude, able to amuse yourself with very little.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your belief is the magic ingredient that makes things happen. The outcome you desire can only occur if you also have a great deal of faith that it will occur or that it is at least highly likely to occur.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Indulge yourself; you’ve earned it. Ironically, someone will take notice of the diligence and drive that shine through your work while you’re off having fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Not knowing the answer makes people uncomfortable, but it’s better than living with the wrong answer and assuming it’s the only way. Most of humanity does the latter. You’ll brave discomfort and stay open-minded.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People change because they like themselves, not because they don’t. You use this principle to be who you want to be.

Kindness toward yourself and others will be the foundation for growth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Getting dressed in the morning is like preparing for a role in a play. You assemble the character you’ll play with each item of clothing, all the while realizing that the one animating this guise is the real you.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 7, 2012

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, July 7, the 189th day of 2012. There are 177 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 7, 1937, the Second Sino-Japanese War erupted into full-scale conflict as Imperial Japanese forces attacked the Marco Polo Bridge in Beijing. (The end of the fighting coincided with the conclusion of World War II.) On this date: In 1846, U.S. annexation of California was proclaimed at Monterey (mahn-tuh-RAY’) after the surrender of a Mexican garrison.

In 1865, four people were hanged in Washington, D.C., for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln.

In 1887 (New Style calendar), artist Marc Chagall was born in Vitebsk (vee’-tehpsk) in presentday Belarus.

In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii.

In 1919, the first Transcontinental Motor Convoy, in which a U.S. Army convoy of motorized vehicles crossed the United States, departed Washington, D.C. (The trip ended in San Francisco on Sept. 6, 1919.)

In 1930, construction began on Boulder Dam (later Hoover Dam).

In 1941, U.S. forces took up positions in Iceland, Trinidad and British Guiana to forestall any Nazi invasion, even though the United States had not yet entered the Second World War. In 1952, the Republican National Convention, which nominated Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and Sen. Richard Nixon for vice president, opened in Chicago.

In 1969, Canada’s House of Commons gave final approval to the Official Languages Act, making French equal to English throughout the national government.

In 1981, President Ronald Reagan announced he was nominating Arizona Judge Sandra Day O’Connor to become the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1983, 11-year-old Samantha Smith of Manchester, Maine, left for a visit to the Soviet Union at the personal invitation of Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov (ahn-DROH’-pawf).

In 1987, Lt. Col. Oliver North began his longawaited public testimony at the Iran-Contra hearing, telling Congress that he had “never carried out a single act, not one,” without authorization.

One year ago: Rupert Murdoch’s media empire unexpectedly jettisoned News of the World, Britain’s best-selling Sunday newspaper, after a public backlash over claims it had used phone hacking and other illegal tactics to expose the rich and famous, royals and ordinary citizens.

Today’s Birthdays: Musician-conductor Doc Severinsen is 85. Pulitzer Prize-winning author David McCullough is 79. Rock star Ringo Starr is 72. Singer-musician Warren Entner is 69. Rock musician Jim Rodford is 67. Actor Joe Spano is 66. Country singer Linda Williams is 65. Actress Shelley Duvall is 63. Actress Roz Ryan is 61. Actor Billy Campbell is 53. Rock musician Mark White is 50. Singer-songwriter Vonda Shepard is 49. Actorcomedian Jim Gaffigan is 46. Actress Amy Carlson is 44. Actress Jorja Fox is 44. Actress Cree Summer is 43. Actress Kirsten Vangsness is 40. Actor Troy Garity is 39. Actress Berenice Bejo s 36. Actor Hamish Linklater is 36. Olympic silver and bronze medal figure skater Michelle Kwan is 32.

Yankees greet Red Sox return to Fenway with fireworks, beat Boston 10-8 BOSTON (AP) — First Josh Beckett couldn’t get an out. Then he couldn’t catch a break.

The Red Sox right-hander allowed the first five batters he faced to score and was booed on his way to the dugout after the top of the first. Then, after Boston rallied to tie the game and take a 7-6 lead, the bullpen coughed up the lead and cost Beckett a win.

“In the first inning, the strike zone was very hard for him to find,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. “I’ve never seen him like that.”

Mark Teixeira hit a two-run single in the Yankees’ five-run first inning and a two-run triple in the seventh to give them the lead for good on Friday night as New York beat Boston 10-8.

Alex Rodriguez had three hits and Curtis Granderson scored three times for the Yankees, who improved to 3-0 against Boston this year.

David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez had three hits apiece for Boston, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a three-run homer to help the Red Sox rally after Beckett gave up five runs in the top of the first. It was 5-all when the inning ended.

“They got five in the first; we had their closer in at the end of the game,” Valentine said. “We did a good job, but it put us climbing uphill the whole game.”

Rafael Soriano got four outs for his 20th save — his first save of more than one inning since 2007.

Boone Logan (4-0) wound up with the win and Andrew Miller (2-1) took the loss.

It was the first game between the two rivals since the Yankees rallied from a 9-0 deficit with seven runs in the seventh and seven more in the eighth to win 15-9 on April 21 at Fenway Park.

This time, neither team could hold a lead.

The Yankees coughed up a 5-0 lead in the first and a 6-5 lead in the second, and Boston led 7-6 after five. But New York scored four times in the seventh inning, taking an 8-7 lead on Teixeira’s triple.

Raul Ibanez doubled in Teixeira and scored on Eric Chavez’s single to make it 10-7.

Beckett allowed six runs on eight hits and two

walks, striking out five in five innings.

The first five Yankees all reached base — and scored — on three singles, a hit batsman and a walk.

When Beckett got Nick Swisher on a flyout to right, the crowd cheered sarcastically, and it booed as he walked off the field at the end of the inning.

But Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda was just as bad, giving up seven runs — six earned — on 10 hits and a walk while striking out three in 5 2-3 innings.

The Red Sox tied it in the bottom of the first, thanks in part to a two-run double by Gonzalez fol-

lowed by Saltalamacchia’s career-high 17th homer.

The teams traded single runs in the second inning before the pitchers settled down. The Yankees nearly took the lead in the fifth when Rodriguez singled and stole two bases. But he was thrown out trying to score on a grounder to second when Daniel Nava came home with the throw and Saltalamacchia blocked the plate.

Boston took a 7-6 lead in the fifth when Gonzalez singled, took second on a wild pitch and scored on Mauro Gomez’s single — his first career RBI.

JOBS from page 2 is also losing pace. Central banks in Europe and China took action Thursday to prop up their sliding economies.

The new signs of economic sluggishness around the world sent commodities prices lower. Crude oil dropped $2.77, or 3 percent, to $84.45 a barrel. The U.S. is the world’s biggest oil consumer, and the prospect of lower demand pushed down prices.

In other trading on Wall Street, the Standard & Poor’s 500 slid 12.90 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,354.68 and the Nasdaq composite fell 38.79 points, or 1.3 percent, to 2,937.33.

One of the reasons stocks fell is that though the jobs report was weak, the country isn’t heading

into a recession. That suggests the Federal Reserve is less likely to take more action to stimulate the economy, according to Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Advantage Funds.

A new round of bond-buying by the Fed is “quite unlikely,” Jacobsen said. The Federal Reserve has made two rounds of bond purchases since the financial crisis to keep interest rates low and encourage banks to lend money.

European markets also lost ground on Friday. A week after investors welcomed an agreement among European leaders to help Spain and Italy, the borrowing rates of both countries rose again. That means bond investors are less willing to loan those countries money at favorable rates.

MOGUL from page 2 deputies, peeling away a protective layer around him while also liberating him to take such risks as openly criticizing Romney, some who know him say.

Murdoch, 81 and a naturalized U.S. citizen, chose to launch his critique of Romney on Twitter, the social networking site where information is exchanged in 140-character blasts known as tweets.

“When is Romney going to look like a challenger?

Seems to play everything safe, make no news except burn of Hispanics,” Murdoch tweeted from his iPad

on June 24. “Easy for Romney to spell out restoration of the American dream and bash incompetent administration. But not a word!” he said later that day. “Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless (Romney) drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful,” Murdoch tweeted on July 1.

On Monday, Murdoch appeared to acknowledge his tweets might be causing consternation for the Romney campaign. “Romney people upset at me! Of course I want him to win, save us from socialism, etc
