LACONIA — This spring the city Transfer Station on Meredith Center Road, which recently underwent a major face lift, took its first steps toward becoming a haven for wildlife by welcoming at

least one and perhaps two pairs of eastern bluebirds.

“I’d never seen one before,” said Al St. Cyr of Waste Management, Inc., who serves as their host. Once the birds began nesting in one of the eleven birdhouses erected on the site, St. Cyr turned to the

website of the North American Bluebird Society to learn how to provide them with suitable hospitality.

Bluebirds are about six-and-a-half inches long. The brilliant, royal blue back, wings, tail and head above a rusty breast see BLUEBirdS page 8

Yellowstone rangers say grizzly is mauling only to project cubs

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — A grizzly bear that mauled a 57-year-old hiker to death in Yellowstone National Park was only defending its cubs and had not threatened humans before. So park officials on Thursday decided to leave it alone to wander the backcountry.

The mauling — the park’s first in 25 years — temporarily closed one of Yellowstone’s top attractions on one of the busiest days of the year, leaving some tourists to wonder what was going on.

“It was not predatory and so we see no reason to take action against the bear,” said Kerry Gunther, bear management biologist for Yellowstone.

The attack also highlighted the potential dangers, however rare, that face tourists who come in record numbers each year to a park known for its burgeoning bear population and the Old Faithful geyser.

Whenever there is a run-in or attack involving bears, park officials must decide whether see BEAR page 14

Sentence for lying allows Anthony to go free next week ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony looked ready for freedom. For the first time since her trial began, she let her hair down, smiling and playing with it as she awaited the judge’s decision on when she would be released.

Then she turned stone-faced as the sentence was pronounced: Freedom won’t come just yet. She’ll have to spend six more days in jail for lying to investigators about the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Thursday’s sentence means Anthony will go free only slightly more than a week

after she was acquitted in the slaying.

The extra time in jail did little to satisfy throngs of angry people convinced of her guilt who gathered outside the courthouse.

But it could provide time for the public furor over her acquittal to ease somewhat and give Anthony’s attorneys a chance to plan for her safety.

Two days after the verdicts, most of the jury remained silent, with their names still kept secret by the court. One juror explained that the panel agreed to acquit Anthony because prosecutors did not show

what happened to the toddler.

When she is released, the 25-year-old Anthony must decide whether to return to a community in which many onlookers long ago concluded that she’s a killer, or to a home strained by her defense attorneys’ accusations of sexual abuse.

Judge Belvin Perry gave her the maximum sentence of four years for four convictions of lying to authorities. He denied a defense request to combine the misdemeanor counts, which could have made her see SENTENCE page 8

WASHINGTON (AP) — Once considered untouchable, Social Security is now in play in the debt-ceiling negotiations. And that could mean higher income taxes for many U.S. families in addition to shaved benefits for tens of millions of retirees as they age.

Social Security became part of the private discussions between President Barack Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner on coming up with “something big” to reduce deficits by $2 trillion to $4 trillion over the next decade. One option includes a new inflation measure for Social

Security that could produce savings close to $200 billion through a combination of reduced benefits and higher taxes, White House officials said Thursday.

Low- and middle-income families could be hit.

The proposal would represent a reversal for Obama. In contrast to his pledge to target tax increases at the wealthy, highincome families would largely be spared from tax increases that would result from changing the way inflation is measured.

And until now, the administration has been adamant that Social Security does

not add to the deficit and should not be a part of deficit reduction talks.

Adopting a new inflation measure would allow policymakers to gradually cut benefits and increase taxes in a way that might not be readily apparent to most Americans.

The inflation measure under consideration is called the Chained Consumer Price Index. On average, the measure shows a lower level of inflation than the more widely used CPI. A Chained CPI assumes that as prices see SOCIAL SECURITY page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Thursday to bar military aid to Libyan rebels battling Moammar Gadhafi but stopped short of prohibiting funds for U.S. involvement in a NATO-led mission now in its fourth month.

Sending a muddled message in the constitutional challenge to President Barack Obama, House Republicans and Demo-

crats signaled their frustration with American participation in a stalemated civil war but also showed their unwillingness to end the operation.

The congressional unrest stems in large part from Obama’s decision not to seek congressional consent for a third war in addition to years-long conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Congress has allowed the president to overreach in Libya,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. “We should not be engaged in military action of this level unless it is authorized and funded by Congress.”

The House voted 225-201 for an amendment sponsored by Cole to bar the Pentagon from providing “military equipment, see LIBYA page 13

Texas executes Mexican for Murdoch kills off infamous tabloid ‘News of the World’ LONDON (AP) — The Murdoch media empire stopped the presses on the 168-year-old newspaper, rape/murder of teen despite unexpectedly jettisoned the News of the World whose lurid scoops have ranged from Sarah FerguThursday after a public backlash over the illeclaims she could provide access to ex-husband international treaty concerns gal guerrilla tactics it used to expose the rich, the son’s Prince Andrew to motor racing chief Max Mosley’s HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A Mexican national was executed Thursday for the rape-slaying of a San Antonio teenager after the U.S. Supreme Court turned down a White House-supported appeal to spare him in a death penalty case where Texas justice triumphed over international treaty concerns.

Humberto Leal, 38, received lethal injection for the 1994 murder of Adria Sauceda. She was fatally bludgeoned with a piece of asphalt.

Leal was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m.

Leal moved with his family from Monterrey, Mexico, to the U.S. as a toddler. Police never told Leal following his arrest that he could seek legal assistance from the Mexican government under an international treaty and his case had prompted appeals on what it could mean for other foreigners arrested in the U.S. and for Americans detained in other countries. His appeals lawyers said such assistance would have helped his defense.

The argument was not new. Texas, the nation’s most active death penalty state, has executed other condemned foreign nationals who raised similar challenges, most recently in 2008.

Leal’s appeals, however, focused on legislation introduced last month in the U.S. Senate by Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy. Leahy’s measure would bring the U.S. into compliance with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations provision regarding the arrests of foreign nationals and ensure court reviews for condemned foreigners to determine if the lack of consular help made a significant difference in the outcome of their cases.

President Barack Obama’s administration took the unusual step of intervening in a state murder case when Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. last week joined Leal’s appeal in asking the high court halt the execution and give Congress at least six months to consider Leahy’s bill.

famous and the royal and remain Britain’s best-selling Sunday newspaper.

The abrupt decision stunned the paper’s staff of 200, shocked the world’s most competitive news town and ignited speculation that Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. plans to rebrand the tabloid under a new name in a bid to prevent a phone-hacking scandal from wrecking its bid for a far more lucrative television deal.

“This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World,” James Murdoch, son of the media magnate, announced in a memo to staff.

Mushrooming allegations of immoral and criminal behavior at the paper — including bribing police officers for information, hacking into the voice mail of murdered schoolgirls’ families and targeting the phones of the relatives of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and the victims of the London transit attacks — cast a dark cloud over News Corp.’s multibilliondollar plan to take full ownership of British Sky Broadcasting, an operation far more valuable than all of Murdoch’s British newspapers.

Faced with growing public outrage, political condemnation and fleeing advertisers, Murdoch

penchant for sadomasochism.

James Murdoch said all revenue from the final issue, which will carry no ads, would go to “good causes.” The paper has been hemorrhaging advertisers since the phone hacking scandal escalated this week, with companies including automakers Ford and Vauxhall, grocery chain J. Sainsbury and pharmacy chain Boots pulling ads from the paper.

Police say they are examining 4,000 names of people who may have been targeted by the tabloid, which sells about 2.7 million copies a week.

The paper has acknowledged hacking into the messages of politicians, celebrities and royal aides, but maintained for years the transgressions were confined to a few rogue staff. A reporter and a private investigator working for the paper were jailed for hacking in 2007.

But in recent days the allegations have expanded to take in the phone messages of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, who disappeared in 2002 and was later found murdered, as well as the families of two other missing schoolgirls.

James Murdoch said if the allegations were true, “it was inhuman and has no place in our company.”

Former Manchester Episcopal priest charged with 80’s era sex assault BEDFORD (AP) — A former Manchester, N.H., Episcopal priest is facing felonious sexual assault charges involving two incidents with a child under age 13.

Bedford police charged 78-year-old Franklin Huntress of Marblehead, Mass., after a two-month investigation into incidents in the 1980s. Police say Huntress was arrested on June 30 and extradited to New Hampshire, where he was arraigned Wednesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court. He was

released Thursday on $25,000 cash bail.

At the time of the incidents, Huntress lived out of state but was invited back for a community function. Police said Huntress served at Grace Church in Manchester from 1971 to 1975.

Police declined to elaborate on the crimes or victims.

Huntress couldn’t be reached immediately for comment. A jail official couldn’t say whether he’d retained a lawyer.

California couple unlikely but happy custodians of building constructed 150 years ago by Lakeport volunteer fire company

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — In 1849, the Niagara Fire Company bought a Hunneman hand pumper and brought it to Lakeport. In 1861, the fire company built a fire house in Lakeport to store its equipment and hold its meetings. In time, the fire service evolved and moved up to more modern, horse-drawn equipment, the old equipment was sold as antiques and the building was used for various purposes before falling onto a list of surplus city-owned property and slated for demolition.

Fortunately, a few key people saw the value in keeping the building and this week the current owners, Carl and Sandy Lendl, held a private celebration of its 150th Anniversary. Thanks to the efforts of the Lendls and previous owners, the former Niagara Fire House is likely to remain a standing testament of the community’s history for many decades to come.

The Lendls are unlikely owners of the home; they came to live there almost by accident. They are from California, where Carl worked for 30 years as a firefighter in Oakland. Their only connection to New Hampshire was Bob DeCotis, a friend who was the fire chief in Manchester.

About 30 years ago, the Lendls were visiting the DeCotises and Carl, who was beginning to collect fire service relics, came across an 1849 Hunneman hand pump in a Portsmouth antique store.

After acquiring his new prize, Carl learned that it had been bought by a company out of Lakeport and he made the drive to Laconia to research the pumper’s history. George Landry, cheif of the city’s department, interrupted Lendl’s research and offered to show him the fire house next to the Lakeport dam where the Hunneman was kept.

That was the first of many times Lendl would visit the structure. He said he made visits to the former fire house a regular part of his trips to New Hampshire, and for much of those visits the building was showing signs of age and lack of maintenance.

The building, currently located on Gold Street, was initially built a century and a half ago on the other side of Paugus Bay, on Union Avenue. It was used to serve the Niagara Fire Company from 1861 to 1908. When their

services were required, the members of the department, which at one point numbered 112 firefighters and 13 officers, would use ropes to pull the Hunneman pumper to wherever the conflagration was, then would operate the hand pump to fight the fire.

Lendl suspects the pumper was likely employed to help combat the Great Lakeport Fire of 1903.

By 1908, though, fire companies had moved on to horse-drawn wagons and more modern pumps. The

building was donated to the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic, often referred to as simply G.A.R., a fraternal organization of Civil War veterans, and the structure was moved across the water to its present location.

As time claimed the last of the local Union Army veterans, the building became used for various purposes by the city, such as for storage. By the time Lendl saw it, about 30 years ago, he said there were holes in its roof and water was working its way in. Perhaps in recognition of its slow decline, the city, according to Lendl, had budgeted $30,000 to knock it down.

Lendl credits City Councilor Armand Bolduc and resident Harold French as the first two who saved the building. About 15 years ago, Bolduc worked out a deal wherein French bought the structure from the city for $2,500. French invested buckets of what Lendl called “sweat equity” into the building.

He replaced the roof and performed other critical repairs. After five years of work, he sold the building to Doug and Karen Beane, owners of Blue Water Realty Group, who transformed the interior of the structure into a beautiful living space.

During a visit to New Hampshire in 2004, Lendl said he had heard of the work the Beanes had done and, noticing that the building was for sale, he and Sandy decided to take a walk through to see how its interior of the four-story building had changed. Buying a piece of real estate was the last thing on their minds, he said. “Twenty-four hours later, we owned it... We just wanted to look at it, and we just went, ‘Wow!’” Considering the unlikely string of events that led to their owning the former firehouse – that he’d stumble upon an antique pumper while visiting a friend on the other side of the country, that the pumper would lead him to its former home, that others were dedicated to restore the building, and that the Lendls would happen to be visiting when it was for sale – he considers it fate that events occurred as they did.

Whatever the reason, Lendl said he’s very pleased to live in Lakeport in general and the former firehouse in particular. “Laconia and Lakeport, they don’t have great reputations, but the people that live here know better,” he said. “It’s a really nice neighborhood, really nice folks, and they’re helpful. New Hampshire is a paradise.”

As any owner of an old home knows, a structure in its second century keeps its occupants busy with upkeep tasks. Yet, as a collector of firefighting antiques, to own an original 1849 hand pump, all of its associated tools, and to own the firehouse it came out of, Lendl knows, is “incredible.”

Man suspected of killing 7 cornered in Michigan home

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A gunman opened fire in two Michigan homes Thursday, killing seven people before leading police on a high-speed chase through downtown Grand Rapids and taking two hostages in another home, authorities said.

Within hours, dozens of officers with guns drawn had cordoned off a neighborhood near a small lake in the northern part of the city and shut down nearby Interstate 96. With the man surrounded, state police warned residents to stay in their homes.

Grand Rapids Police Chief Kevin Belk said officers were communicating with the suspect, 34-year-old Rodrick Shonte Dantzler, who released one of two hostages, a 53-year-old woman, amid negotiations with officers Thursday night.

The manhunt for Dantzler began after four people were found dead in one home and three were found in another across town. Belk said two of the victims were children.

“At this point, we don’t know the motive,” Belk said late Thursday, but added that Dantzler did have a prior relationship with at least one person at each shooting location.

At one point during the police chase, the suspect crossed a wide grassy median on the interstate and drove the wrong way down the highway while more than a dozen squad cars pursued him. The highway remained closed hours later.

Two other people were shot when the suspect fired at police during the chase, but their wounds were not considered life-threatening. Some of the gunshots struck the windshield of a police cruiser in downtown Grand Rapids. No officers were hurt, Belk said.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, July 8, 2011— Page 5

Records show Dantzler was discharged from state prison in 2005 after serving time for assault less than murder. A spokesman for the prison system said he had not been under state supervision since then.

Sandra Powney lives across the street from one of the homes where the shootings happened and said she had seen Dantzler at the ranch house, where a couple has lived for more than 20 years with two adult daughters.

Powney said she had been at home all day and did not realize anyone had been killed until police converged on the cul-de-sac in the midafternoon.

“For a while we couldn’t come outside,” she said.

“They didn’t know if there was someone still inside the house.”

Neighbors said police converged on Dantzler’s home after the shootings a few miles away.

Sonia Bergers said Dantzler lived in the home with a woman she assumed was his wife and their daughter, a girl who appeared to be about 10 years old.

Mary Lahuis said she and her husband had returned home after having coffee at a nearby fastfood restaurant.

“We were in the house, and police went down our street, running with guns,” she said. “They told us to get in the house.”

Of Dantzler she said: “You would see him going up and down the street. And you’d hear him going up and down the street.”

Lisa Schenden lives with her husband and their children, ages 11 and 8, two blocks from the home where four people were killed. She said the homeowners are a couple whose daughter has a daughter with the suspect.

Legislature formed another committee to study FRM CONCORD — Not to be outdone by the Attorney General’s Office, Bureau of Securities Regulation, Secretary of State and a joint legislative committee, another panel, composed of five lawmakers, will study issues arising from the collapse Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. (FRM), the Meredith firm responsible for defrauding more than 150 investors of some $23-million via a Ponzi scheme.

House Bill 178, sponsored by Representatives Marshall and Matthew Quandt, a father and son team of Republicans from Exeter, carried both the House and Senate by voice votes and was signed into law by Governor John Lynch last month. The bill convenes a committee of three representatives

B ROOKFIELD D AYLILIES

and two senators to “study issues regarding Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc.” and reports its findings and recommendations by December 1.

When the bill came to the House floor Representative Matthew Quandt noted that the earlier joint legislative committee, chaired by Senator Maggie Hassan (D-Exeter), ran short of time and reported in November 2010, before Attorney Charles Chandler conducted an independent inquiry at the direction of Secretary of State Bill Gardner. Chandler was the first to take sworn testimony in public from Scott Farah and Donald Dodge, the principals in the Ponzi scheme who are currently serving long sentences in federal prison.

Susan Estrich

Getting away with murder Casey Anthony killed her daughter. She may not have meant to, and she may have been much more interested in her own social life than in her daughter’s well-being, but I have absolutely no doubt that she was responsible for her daughter’s death.

So why was she acquitted? Could it really be a case of it is better to be rich (or at least enough of a celebrity to be well-represented) and guilty than poor and innocent, as so many of my students think?

The short answer is sometimes.

The long answer is that it depends as much on the skill and judgment of the prosecutors as it does on the defense.

If you want to be God, I always tell my students, go be a prosecutor. I’d like to believe that God is infallible, but I know for a fact that prosecutors aren’t.

There is an old joke prosecutors tell each other about how convicting a guilty person is no great accomplishment. It’s convicting someone who is not guilty that is the real challenge.

Anthony is as guilty of killing her child as O.J. Simpson was of killing his former wife and Ron Goldman. He got off — as did Anthony — because he is a celebrity (and because of the animosity among minority jurors toward the LAPD) and because celebrities are not always favored by the system.

The danger when you represent a celebrity is not that he will be treated with white gloves, but rather that prosecutors (either because they love the publicity or because they fear the pressure it brings) will go too far too fast to overcharge and overprosecute precisely because of the publicity.

The Anthony case was based entirely on circumstantial evidence.

There was no real forensic proof, no cause of death, no damning DNA. The defendant was the mother of the victim — which in many ways makes the crime worse. But it also makes it even more critical, and more important, to have evidence of purposeful intent.

Ditto for husbands and ex-husbands and wives and ex-wives who kill their spouses.

In all of these cases, it is far easier to conclude that the defendant

caused the death — that he or she was the only person with the opportunity and motive — than it is to prove that they did so with malice aforethought, in a premeditated and purposeful way, which is what is required in a first-degree murder case. Reasonable doubt has a different meaning when it’s a life or death decision.

Forgive me the pedestrian analogy, but I think the easiest way to grasp this may be by thinking about shopping. You go to the department store and try on a jacket. The tag tells you it’s 70-percent off. I love it, you say, and you do. For $50 dollars, it’s spectacular. For half off, you love it almost as much. At full price, even a minor flaw — a missing button, a pulled thread — is enough to end the love affair. Reasonable doubt is equally flexible.

Had the jury been asked whether Anthony was guilty of voluntary manslaughter, I think they would have been able to conclude that she was, beyond a reasonable doubt.

Had O.J. Simpson been charged, as most ex-wife killers are, with either second-degree murder or voluntary manslaughter, I’d like to think he would have been convicted.

The irony is that most men who kill their former wives (and even innocent bystanders) in a fit of jealous rage serve about seven years in prison — which is less than the sentence meted out to Simpson for what otherwise would be a rather minor offense. Simpson was Caponed.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Justice is very rough, but if I were Casey Anthony (and to be honest, she is one woman I can’t even imagine being), I’d watch my step from here on, very, very carefully. She may have gotten away with murder, but she won’t get away the next time.

Justice may not be blind, and sometimes it seems to be deaf and dumb, but rough justice can be very rough on those who get away with murder.

Sudden gift of a ‘Romney - Believe in America’ shirt made my day To the editor, I was at the Laconia Fourth of July parade on Monday. This letter is to thank the guy who “gave me the shirt off his back”. Actually, he gave me the shirt he was wearing, which said, “Romney — Believe in America”.

Being a avid rooter for Mitt Romney for President and a believer that he is the only one who will deliver our country from the mess we are in since

one of those shirts to wear! Learning that there weren’t any left, I was devastated.

Lo and behold, one of the campaign workers gave me the “shirt off his back” and he really made my day! It fits me perfectly and I will wear it proudly.

Thanks again, whoever you are, and God bless you and God bless America!

LETTERS I expect open government in a small town like Belmont To the editor, I recently read a newspaper article about the chairman of the Board of Selectman, John Pike, settling out of court with the Town of Belmont.

One would conclude that the Town of Belmont or one of its employees was negligent to the extent that the town father(s) had to make a decision regarding a settlement with Chairman Pike.

The news article reported that some $11,000 in cash was paid to Chairman Pike and that the Town of Belmont will provide health insurance to Chairman Pike until he is eligible for Medicare. I am guessing that $11,000 a year would be a conservative estimate. Exactly how much that will ultimately cost, WHO KNOWS! I am well aware that mistakes can and will happen, but how elected and appointed officials handle them is in question.

Chairman Pike, whose actual residency is whispered about in dimly lit rooms, ran for election this spring with no mention to his constituents regarding a possible legal action against the Town of Belmont. One can only assume that had the voters known it could have changed the outcome. If he was truly wronged it should be apparent. It is also very interesting that appointed officials for the Town of Belmont are put the position of assessing a legal claim from the chairman of the governing body of

the Town of Belmont.

If the Town of Belmont is to be held responsible in a civil claim there must be negligence acts or omissions (likely an employee) that makes the Town of Belmont responsible. We know and expect the Town of Belmont to hold personnel issues private. However as taxpayers and voters we have a right to know that when mistakes are made that corrective actions are taken to protect us from future legal actions.

There has been no such information made available to the public.

The newspaper article also mentioned a vote by the town father(s): Chairman Pike excused himself, apparently due to a conflict of interest. After some discussion Selectman Morse excused himself, leaving the last town father, Selectman Cormier to move, second and vote to seal the records regarding this situation. I would like to know if one vote by a single selectman is legal for action required by a board of three?

What to do? I would urge the town fathers and Chairman Pike to return to the table and agree to open up the records regarding the negligent act or omission committed by the Town of Belmont.

I expect open government in a small town like ours. Please stop conducting business in the back room!

Saying ‘don’t blame teachers’ makes me a ‘socialist liberal’?

To the editor, I guess I have learned my lesson from Russ Wiles by responding to a letter last week. I responded to a letter which basically was saying unions are responsible for creating “the dummying down of teachers” and the failure of students, and also how teachers have too much of a pension.

My response was very clear in that I believe students (and their parents) used to be a lot more responsible for their education. Now the failure of a student who has no desire to learn or who has parents who don’t care is being blamed more and more on the teachers. I also said that teachers do deserve good pay and benefits because they are professionals who have at

How Mr. Wiles inferred from my letter that I’m a socialist liberal who believes the government should take more private sector money is beyond me. I never said anything of the sort.

Funny how people who disagree with you always seem to make it a political issue. And what does urging me to remember July 4th with honor and pride have to do with anything I was talking about? Your letter was completely misleading. And like I said, you taught me a lesson Mr. Wiles, I won’t be reading or responding to any letters, it’s a waste of time responding to complaints from people who only have the editor to talk to.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, July 8, 2011 — Page 7

State Senator Sylvia Larsen

The fine print in Republican budget for New Hampshire In the wake of the most patriotic of weekends, it is a good time to reflect on the meaning of “patriotism.” Traditionally, patriotism is defined as devotion to one’s country and a willingness to sacrifice for it.

Yet one website definition describes it more fully as: “devotion to a community as opposed to devotion to one’s individual interests without considering what is good for the community.”

With the 2012-2013 state budget now law, I question whether some of the Republican budget crafters have truly considered “what is good for the community.”

While applauding their own efforts at fiscal discipline and reduced spending they have remained relatively mum on the details. However, as is often the case when products are advertised to great fanfare by their manufacturers – the devil is in the details. So here I offer a warning to New Hampshire citizens – on this budget read the fine print.

As Advertised: The budget reduces spending.

The Fine Print: It is true, the budget reduces spending. It takes us back to 2008 levels. And here the real focus should be on where the cuts came from.

Our state budget should reflect the values and goals of our state.

Our spending habits suggest not just who we are but also what we aspire to be. In that light – this budget loses our vision of devotion to community.

Health insurance costs will increase and more people will end up in emergency waiting rooms due to Republican cuts of $115-million from hospitals for uncompensated care. Another cut of nearly $200-million for services to the developmentally disabled, mentally ill, those with catastrophic illness, and Alzheimer’s caregivers will result in downshifts to our local communities as well. There are millions more in cuts to childcare for working parents, domestic violence programs, HIV/infectious disease screening, congregate housing for the elderly and the elimination of Healthy Kids – the state-subsidized health care program that offers insurance coverage to thousands of children.

And where is their vision for economic growth when they chose to cut funding for university and community college students from UNH, Keene St., Plymouth St., and across the state by nearly 50-percent? This

cut costs students thousands in tuition increases and represents the deepest such cut to public higher education of any state in the nation.

As Advertised: The budget cuts taxes and fees.

The Fine Print: While chiding past tax and fee increases suggesting their numbers into the hundreds, how many of these taxes and fees did they tackle with this budget? In the almost 2000 page document I count very few. They include reducing the cost of a saltwater fishing license from $15 to $10 and reducing the marriage license from $50 to $45 and reducing the tax on gambling winnings by 10-percent. These are hardly measures that redefine the state tax code or save household budgets, but they do have the effect of eliminating state revenue.

Republicans did eliminate the motor vehicle surcharge. The result of which takes $90-million out of the highway fund and cripples the state’s ability to repair and maintain our roads, highways, and redlisted bridges.

And of course there is the 10-cent reduction in the tobacco tax which is already the lowest in the Northeast. While tobacco companies may have had this tops on their priorities list, I doubt many N.H. citizens did, especially when faced with spending cuts to education, healthcare for children and housing for the elderly.

Likewise, it’s hard to find solace in a $5-reduction for your fishing license if your property taxes, health insurance premiums and college tuition bill all go through the roof.

As Advertised: Cutting the budget will encourage job growth The fine print: So what happened to the election year promises of jobs and economic growth? It’s difficult to stimulate the economy and grow jobs while simultaneously cutting education and job training, increasing taxes on your largest employers and sending thousands to the unemployment line.

This budget makes it cheaper to buy cigarettes and go deep sea fishing but more expensive to buy health insurance and go to college.

Are those the values of our state?

And following this 4th of July weekend we can ponder: isn’t true patriotism the devotion to your community as opposed to one’s individual interests?

(Sylvia Larsen, Democrat of Concord, is her party’s leader in the N.H. Senate.)

Put bubble wrap down on your floors to frighten burglars away To the editor, In view of the rash of nightime home entrances recently, here is a no cost and effective burglar alarm system.

Get some bubble wrap, commonly used in packing and then discarded, and lay it out inside of windows and doors or in rooms or wherever. If it is

loud pops when stepped on and likely frighten the burglar away and/or awaken occupants.

If you are fortunate enough to have young children in the home they like to jump on it and make a lot of noise.

SENTENCE from page 2 eligible for immediate release.

“As a result of those four specific, distinct lies, law enforcement expended great time and resources looking for Caylee Marie Anthony,” the judge said.

With time served and credit for good behavior, she is due out on Wednesday, her 1,003rd day in jail.

Outside the courthouse, a cluster of protesters chanted “Justice for Caylee” as they waved signs that said “Arrest the Jury!!” and “Jurors 1-12 Guilty of Murder.” One man had duct tape with a heartshaped sticker over his mouth, similar to the way prosecutors contend Caylee died. Increased police presence included officers on horseback.

“At least she won’t get to pop the champagne cork tonight,” said Flora Reece, an Orlando real estate broker who stood outside the courthouse holding a sign that read “Arrest the Jury.”

Anthony’s parents were present for the hearing but left without speaking to reporters. Prosecutors and defense attorneys did not comment either.

Anger continued to spread online, with commenters vilifying Anthony on social media networks.

Nearly 22,000 people “liked” the “I hate Casey Anthony” page on Facebook, which included comments wishing her the same fate that befell Caylee.

The potential for Anthony to profit off the case was infuriating to many who said they feared she could become rich by selling her story to publishers or filmmakers or signing a lucrative television contract.

Whatever future she chooses, Anthony’s release next week promises to mark the start of a new, potentially difficult chapter for her.

Mary Tate, a former public defender who heads the University of Richmond’s Institute for Actual Innocence, said Anthony’s defense team is probably seeking help from a variety of advisers as they seek to rebuild her fractured life.

“She’s going to be bombarded with a lot of financial offers. She’s going to be bombarded with random hostility. She’s just entering an extraordinarily exhausting two or three years,” Tate said.

Dr. Phyllis Chesler, a psychologist who authored “Mothers on Trial,” said Anthony will have to deal with an “absolutely primitive blood lust” that’s been unleashed, even though she’s been acquitted.

“The public would lynch her if they could get their hands on her,” When you’re trying to save, every little bit helps. she said. “How is she going to cope with the At Northway Bank, because we reward customers hatred?” for the amount of business they do with us, we At a separate hearing Thursday, Perry also can pay higher rates on important things like CDs. expressed concern for Right now, we have a special rate on 11-month the safety of jurors and postponed his decision and 25-month CDs that’s up to 66% higher than on whether to release standard CDs offered in the Lakes Region**. their names.

BLUEBIRDS from page one and white belly distinguish the male while his less flamboyant partner accents her buff back, crown and throat with flashes of blue in her wings and tail.

Bluebirds prefer open spaces, fields and meadows, perching above them, with an alert, upright posture, on utility wires, fence posts and low branches from where they search for prey below. With a fluttering of wings they drop from their perch to seize seize insects, showing a preference grasshoppers, crickets, katydids and beetles.

Once common as robins —the other harbingers of spring — eastern bluebirds have dwindled in number as house sparrows and European starlings have taken their nest sites. Bluebirds are cavity nesters, making their homes in holes abandoned by others, which makes them ideal tenants for bird houses.

In April, the bird houses were erected as part of an initiative taken by the city, Waste Management, Inc. and the Wildlife Habitat Council to add the 25 acres to the 73 other transfer stations, landfills, and disposal sites certified by the council as providing food, water, shelter, cover and space suited to wildlife. Some 30 members of local 4-H clubs and scout troops erected bird houses and bat boxes on the property with direction from Scott McPhie of the Planning Department and members of the Conservation Commission.

St. Cyr, who raises vegetables on the site, said the bluebirds arrived sometime in May. “I first saw the male on the wire,” he recalled, pointing to the lines above the house where the pair made their home.

“Now I see him mostly either on the wire or sitting on top of the box.” St. Cyr said he was so taken by

the birds that he made two similar nesting boxes for his home in Gilford.

St. Cyr said that he had quickly evicted house sparrows seeking to nest in the bird houses after learning that they will invade the bluebird’s nest, destroy the eggs or kill the chicks, and occupy the property. He said that some advise that after the young bluebirds hatch they are at risk from blowfly larvae and the box should be opened and the larvae removed, but he was somewhat leery of disturbing the birds.

Driving a front-loader, St. Cyr stopped and pointed up to a dead branch in an old field pine on the edge of the asphalt about 100 yards from the bird house.

“There they are,” he said. “Both perched on that branch.”

McPhie said that Marnie Schulz, a master gardener with the Opechee Garden Club, suggested seeking to attract bluebirds. Apart from the bluebirds, barn swallows have also nested in some of the boxes.

McPhie emphasized that the project is designed to return native species of both animals and plants to the site and ultimately significantly reduce or altogether eliminate invasive species. Schulz, he said, will supervise the planting of native species, some of which will be intended to draw butterflies, for whom homes will also be erected. And he hopes to introduce insects that feed on purple loosestrife, among the most aggressive of invasive plants, which degrades wetland habitat.

The transfer station must be maintained and monitored for a full year before it qualifies for certification. The appearance of the bluebirds under St. Cyr’s watchful eye is a promising omen.

WISE OWL

So many people to publicly thank for help with circus success To the editor, On behalf of the Wilkins-Smith American Legion Post 1 of Laconia, I would like to thank everyone that took time from their own busy holiday weekend and supported the Legion sponsored event. All you wonderful families that came to Memorial Field to help us celebrate the first circus in 50 years in Laconia, to all of you beautiful people who took the time to “ Thank the Legion”, for sponsoring the Kelly-Miller Circus, and those that shook our hands, and told us how great the Kelly-Miller Circus show was, you have indeed made our hard work a success. We did not hear one complaint on the quality of the circus.

These performers were so excited by the huge crowds and strong expressions of appreciation for their performances, they have asked to return next year ! Because of your support most shows either were or very close to sell out shows! How good is that?

We are so blessed for your support. . . thank you all so very much!

Of course, we have so many others to publicly thank for their support as well. Where do we begin? It would be proper to start with our ticket outlets: All My Life Jewelers, The Citizen office, the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, The Antique Center on Main Street, Simplicity the Clown Store on Union Avenue, AutoServ Kia route 106 Belmont/Laconia, and The American Legion Post 1. All of you folks were so terrific in helping us meet our goals . . . Ohhhhh my, thank you so very, very much. You are all awesome to say the least!

Our Sponsors: Laconia Savings Bank, AutoServ Dealerships, The Citizen of Laconia, The Chamber of Commerce and again, All My Life Jewelers. . . huge, huge partners. . .

Margie & staff for the use of your trash containers and Porti-Potties. . . to Beans & Greens of Gilford Andy, Martinia and Jeff, for providing a container for the animal droppings, may they fertilizes the best

To all the Laconia Parks & Recreation Commissioners, their staff headed by Kevin Dunleavey, to our mayor and entire City Council, most of whom attended the circus; to my friend Counselor Brenda Baer, who supported the Legion from the beginning and believed in our project. Thank you all so very much. To our beloved police staff and our great fire department, for the protection they provided the circus and attendees. To the Margate staff for putting up Mr. Jim Royal, general manager of the Kelly-Miller Circus last November during his visit here in Laconia. To the staff at City Hall for walking us through the difficult permit process and approvals.

How do we thank you enough for your tremendous support? Impossible!

It is my hope that I have left no one person or company out. If I have, I truly offer my apologies for my senior moment. Lastly, how can I not mention the folks at Wilkins-Smith American Legion Post 1, for their courage to tackle such a huge project. We did so to ensure that our students all have a chance for some funds as they attend a college of their choice. Our Scholarship program is better because of the support shown by our community. I am so greatly appreciative to all you wonderful people that have given so very much in the success of our project. A year in the making, three wonderful days of greeting and meeting all of you warmed my heart beyond words. To the staff of the Citizen — Mike Debbie, Kim, Tom, Jeff, John, Harrison; to the staff of the Daily Sun — Gail, Mitch, Roger all of you; and from The Weirs Times — Brendon, Jane, for keeping our story in front of our citizens.

What a crying shame that not guilty verdict was. She is guilty!

To the editor, I want to know what on God’s earth the verdict for Casey Anthony was NOT GUILTY? What the hell is the matter with the people saying NOT GUILTY? We do not have good judges, they let her get away with murder.

This is just like OJ Simpson and Robert Blake. Now she will become RICH doing books and movies. Nice example to let everyone think they can get away with MURDER. What about that little girl? Does anyone care what happened to her?

This is a crock letting Casey Anthony off the hook after what she has done.

She is GUILTY as she should have been charged. They should fix her where she can never have anymore children. We live in a country which rewards bad behavior and murder.

If it was any of us we would get the chair. How is she any different? She does not deserve to be free of being NOT GUILTY! People are stunned with the verdict. So am I. Now she can become rich and buy her mansion that she has earned killing her daughter.

What a crying shame this is. Do you think this was justice?

LETTERS Chew on this Obama score card: it adds up to failed presidency To the editor, Barack Obama is one of the most incompetent and failed presidents to ever sit in the oval office. He has accomplished something unique. He has disappointed just about everyone including his own party. Representing himself to be the long awaited uniter, America now finds itself in the summer of 2011 more divided than at any time in our nation’s history.

Both political parties despise each other, making it impossible to forge the needed relationships and agreements to keep America number one in a highly competitive world. Obama has piled on trillions of debt to the shoulders of every man ,woman and child with non-stop spending, unjust bailouts and failed stimulus programs — all aimed as payoffs to his voting constituency. Beyond that he has accomplished little except the highly unpopular health care legislation passed in the dark of night with bribes so egregious they had names attached to them like “corn husker”.

How could we have expected any other outcome from a man whose sole claim to fame and experience was being an outstanding academic. There is a huge difference between being intelligent and being smart or savvy. Academic intelligence and business acumen are as different as ant and elephant. It is more likely that a good high school graduate with a strong inclination for economics and psychology could do far better. If pure intelligence leads us to the best presidential candidates we should simply hold country wide IQ tests to pick our next president. Many of the of the most successful men throughout history never graduated from college including Bill Gates and Steve Jobs of Apple. They all quit higher education early on. What makes people exceptional in politics or business is the possession of COMMON SENSE and LOGIC. Highly Intelligent people frequently have a shortage of both. As a matter of fact those steeped in academia often distrust the fundamental workings of business and free enterprise just as Obama does. Such distrust is a sure pathway to economic bungling and failure the same as we now experience.

Any man sympathetic to the wild ratings of a Reverenced Wright role model should have provided a strong clue to what we would get.

What we have witnessed is one of the greatest flash in the pan presidential flops in our history. Beware academic talkers with long, slithery, silver tongues that promise to turn straw into gold, politics into a love fest and the economy of America into a social experiment with the dual intent to re distribute every penny of it’s wealth while simultaneously destroying the golden capitalistic goose that made America the most powerful and successful country on the planet earth. Reverenced Wright must be very happy. Are you?

Chew on this Obama score card: 1. Unemployment is still an an unbelievable 9.1-percent.

2. We have the slowest ascent from any recession since the the 1940s.

3. Two million homes remain vacant.

4. Home prices are predicted to slide for another five years dropping by as much as another 25-percent 5. Unemployment in the construction industry is above 20-percent.

6. One out of every four homes in America is worth less than the mortgage on it.

7. 90-percent of Americans think the economy is terrible.

8. Two out of three Americans think we are going in the wrong direction.

9. 60-percent of Americans give Obama a failing grade on his handling of the economy.

10. Millions of workers are so discouraged they stopped looking for a job.

11. McKinsey consultants estimates that as many as half of America’s corporations will drop their company health care plans, dumping millions on to publicly subsidized plans costing tax payers billions.

12. Half of Americans say they could not come up with $2,000 within 30 days without having to sell assets.

13. The economy is barely growing at 2-percent. At this point in the recession we should be growing at 4 to 5-percent or more.

14 . Experts predict it could be 2020 or later before we achieve a 5-percent unemployment rate.

This represents presidential failure of the highest magnitude.

That system didn’t work for Soviet Union & it won’t work here To the editor, In his letter of July 7, Mr. Cracraft spends two columns, 11 long-winded paragraphs, almost 700 words, to try to convince the readers that N.H. will produce nothing but “low wage jobs with poor benefits” if we don’t continue to force non-union employees to give 10-percent of their pay to their unionize co-workers, in the shakedown that gives the union employees extra holidays, sick days, and pension pay at the expense of the harder work-

ing non-union employee.

Nice try E, but we are not so easily convinced. Keep writing. That system did not work in the Soviet Union, and it doesn’t work here. Let people keep what they earn and make them earn what they keep. No more free rides.

No more shake downs.

But somewhere down there, I have a feeling that Karl Marx is looking up proudly at you for the effort.

is my hope that his peers see him as a leader and maybe one day he just might become a rare “honest person” leading this country.

Vet lights ‘The Golden Way’ through poems

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, July 8, 2011— Page 11

BY JACKIE E. BONAFIDE SPECIAL TO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TILTON — Richard Golden lives in a room at the New Hampshire Veterans Home, but his poems have no walls.

Before coming to the N.H. Veterans Home in December 2006, Golden and his wife Betty loved to go camping “up North” (never anywhere else), fly fishing, and riding on their Honda Goldwing motorcycle. He lived in Center Barnstead and throughout his 77 years he served his town as a deputy chief of police, fireman, library trustee for 29 years, and town moderator for 33 years.

For five years he and Betty owned and operated “The Whistling Post” Restaurant and Pub on Route 28 in Center Barnstead. He served his state and country for 33 years in the Army National Guard and was on active duty from 1953 to 1956 in Germany following the Korean War. As a young man, Golden began reflecting on his world by writing poems. He wrote throughout his time in the military, through marriages and divorces, about family, history, nature, and more.

This year — as a Valentine’s Day surprise — Betty and their granddaughter Sara decided to collect Richard’s poems and turn them into a book. Sara typed the poems on her computer; Betty chose the cover design and colors. They had the book printed

by Transient Books.com, a company located in Cordoba, Argentina, which creates custom hand-bound original books.

The result is a gem. Besides being a stunningly beautiful book to look at, the poems inside transport the reader to some of the most important corners of a man’s life through language that is vivid, intense, and carefully constructed. In “Convoy,” Golden shares his impressions of what it was like to pass through a town in occupied Germany following the war: “Convoy, roaring down, tell the people, wake the town. Wake the town? It’s not asleep! Through drawn curtains old eyes peep. Convoy!”

In another poem, “The Royal Season,” he confesses his love for autumn — above all other seasons — saying, winter is beautiful, summer is warm, and spring is the beginning of things, “But Autumn is royal, of harlequin hue, though birds may be leaving and flowers are few. Autumn’s the time when the weatherman’s wrong, and we’ll see the first snowflake before very long.”

“Never look back,” another of Golden’s poems, is good advice for everyone — but especially for people who have reached a point in their lives when it is tempting to do nothing else but look back. He says, “When you find rocks in life’s pathway and things look exceedingly black, just take this advice and remember, look forward and never look back.” He

continues, “For the road up ahead is a mystery, an uncharted trail so to speak. And you may find success in the future, when into its darkness you peek.”

Several of the poems are funny, like “Getting Old”: “Though now I am old and fallen, and my hair is turning gray, I still do exercises, I do them every day!

I’m not as strong and rugged as I used to be, but I still run a hundred miles each afternoon at three.”

For Valentine’s Day Betty, now a Gilford resident, gave Richard the one and only copy of his book, “Poems: The Golden Way,” and she reads him his poems from time to time. Sometimes you can see tears in his eyes, but mostly he smiles. For Richard and Betty Golden, the road up ahead is a mystery, but they’re not looking back.

DEPORTATION from page one Kenneth McHugh yesterday afternoon for his arraignment.

Dressed in a white T-shirt, blue-checkered pajama bottoms and nice red, white and blue Nike sneakers, Conde spoke only to his lawyer, Public Defender Eric Wolpin and remained seated throughout the hearing.

Assistant County Prosecutor Carley Ahern asked that Conde be held in New Hampshire on $20,000 cash or corporate surety. She told the court that because Conde faces deportation to the African nation of Guinea he is being held in a Plymouth, Massachusetts federal detention center and transporting him from there to Laconia for his court proceedings is expensive and problematic.

“These types of cases have been lost to speedy trial issues, Your Honor,” Ahern said, making her case for keeping him in New Hampshire rather than chasing him down through the federal system for every future court appearance.

“If he’s deported the case won’t be an issue,” said McHugh.

Both Ahern and Wolpin agreed.

Wolpin said Conde has been eligible for deportation since an order was issued on May 31 but no one in the federal government can or will say when exactly he will be deported.

If he is deported before his criminal case is adjudicated, then there is no longer a reason to prosecute him. If he is convicted before his deportation, he will be held in some state jail or prison, depending on the conviction and sentence until his deportation. If he is exonerated he will remain in federal detention until he is deported.

“He’s obviously not a danger or a flight risk. He’s not going anywhere except back to Guinea,” Wolpin said.

Wolpin is only responsible for providing a criminal defense to Conde regarding the second degree assault charge he faces in Belknap County. He is not

an immigration attorney and it is not known if one has been assigned to represent Conde.

Technically, Conde is free on $500 cash bail posted by a relative after an order issued by Judge Jim Carroll in Laconia District Court on March 1 relative to the alleged choking incident in Belmont.

It was after he posted bail that he was detained by immigration authorities.

He is being held in Massachusetts and is facing deportation because, according to Wolpin, at some point in his youth, he was brought to the United States illegally.

“So it could be a month or a year,” McHugh said. “If he’s here, the feds can find him.”

At that point Conde began shaking his head and conferred quietly with Wolpin.

“I don’t want to get too much into it,” said Wolpin after his conversation with Conde ended. “But I can’t give any advise about what happens to him in Guinea. He’s afraid of what will happen.”

If he is convicted before deportation he returns to Guinea as a convicted felon and an extremely uncertain future.

“I don’t want to spend my money on this if I don’t have to,” McHugh said who recognized there is also a cost to detaining him here in New Hampshire and ordered Conde back to federal detention in Plymouth, Mass. on $10,000 personal recognizance bail.

Conde has been in legal hot water before.

According to articles that ran in The Daily Sun and the New Bern (North Carolina) Sun Journal, he was arrested in 2006 by Laconia Police and the Belknap County Special Operation Group at a home on Morrill Street on a warrant issued by New Bern Police regarding a kidnapping and armed robbery.

He was taken into custody without incident but what happened to him in North Carolina is unknown at press time.

The New Bern, N.C. Police declined comment.

SOCIAL SECURITY from page 2 increase, consumers buy lower cost alternatives, reducing the amount of inflation they experience. For example, if the price of beef increases while the price of pork does not, people will buy more pork. Or, as opponents mockingly argue, if the price of home heating oil goes up, people will turn down their heat and wear more sweaters There’s no indication at this point whether Obama and congressional Republicans — and Democrats — will agree on the change. And, if they do, how broadly it might be applied. Another private meeting at the White House is set for Sunday.

The measure, if adopted across the government, would have a wide-ranging effect on taxes and government benefits, and those changes would grow over time. The change would mean smaller annual increases in Social Security payments, government pensions and veterans’ benefits. Current payments would not be affected, but recipients would get smaller increases in the future.

Overall, the proposal would cut Social Security benefits by $112 billion over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

It would cut government pensions and veterans’ benefits by $24 billion over the same time period if adopted for them as well.

Reaction from the president’s own party was swift Thursday, raising questions about whether Obama can keep Democrats on board if he agrees to cuts in Social Security. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said her caucus won’t support any package that includes Social Security cuts.

“Do not consider Social Security a piggy bank for giving tax cuts to the wealthiest people in our country,” Pelosi said. “We are not going to balance the budget on the backs of America’s seniors.”

AARP, the powerful lobby for seniors, “will not accept any cuts to Social Security as part of a deal to pay the nation’s bills,” said CEO A. Barry Rand.

Forrester leads lawmakers on Northern Pass tour CONCORD — State Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) led a group of her colleagues on a recent tour of the North Country regarding the proposed Northern Pass Project. The trip was a part of a “promises made, promised kept” agreement the Senate Judiciary Committee made to property owners/businesses to continue studying the eminent domain issues contained in HB 648 – a bill that has been retained by the committee and will be acted on in the new legislative session in January.

Joining Forrester were Senators Sharon Carson (R-Londonderry), Ray White (R-Bedford) and Jim Luther (R-Nashua).

Forrester said, “This trip was important because it sent a message to citizens that senators are listening to their concerns. What I heard during this trip was a confirmation that residents are angry about the lack of communication and fearful that their property will be taken by eminent domain. It is my intent to work with the Senate Judiciary Committee to ensure that private property rights are respected

and protected.”

The four senators began their day in Campton and finished in Pittsburg. Along the way they met with several people including Tom Mullen from the Owl’s Nest Resort and Golf Club, businessman and property owner Robert Koerner from Pelham, property owner James Amey of Pittsburg and wellknown North Country advocate John Harrigan of Colebrook.

Sharing her thoughts on the trip Carson said, “The number one complaint folks shared with us is a lack of communication about Northern Pass regarding the impact of the project. They also were concerned about the amount of bad or misinformation that’s also circulating. It’s obvious that many people either cannot afford to travel to Concord to listen to the debate over HB-648 or they simply don’t have the time. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I hope we can improve our communications regarding HB-648 going forward. We welcome input on the issue from all sides.”

LIBYA from page 2 training or advice or other support for military activities,” to an outside group, such as rebel forces, for military action in or against Libya.

Forty-eight Democrats backed the Republicansponsored measure.

The intent of the measure is to prohibit aid to the rebels such as weapons and assistance to their Transitional National Council, including operational planning. The broad effort also would target contractors in Libya.

In fact, Obama has authorized $25 million in nonlethal assistance to the rebels, including thousands of meals ready to eat from Pentagon stocks. The U.S.

has also supplied some $53 million in humanitarian aid. Neither would be affected by the bill.

Moments after the vote, the House rejected a measure that would have prohibited funds for the U.S. military to continue its limited role. The vote was 229-199, with 67 Democrats breaking with the administration to support the amendment.

“This is our moment to reclaim the Constitution of the United States,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who co-sponsored the amendment with freshman Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich. “We have the power to determine when to go to war, not some rebel power in Benghazi.”

Red Sox back in 1st after 6-homer night against Orioles BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez homered near the deepest part of Fenway Park.

Dustin Pedroia blasted a shot all the way out of the historic ballpark.

It was difficult to say which was the most impressive because of the volume in Boston’s 10-4 rout of the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night. The Red Sox hit six home runs, including three straight in the seventh inning while pulling away against the struggling Orioles.

“We swung the bats great and we just have to keep it going,” said Pedroia, whose three-run shot in the third cleared the seats above the Green Monster.

“There were a lot of good pitches to hit tonight and we didn’t miss them.”

Jacoby Ellsbury hit a two-run shot and Gonzalez hit his 17th of the season for Boston, which delighted the home fans with a succession of slugs in the seventh inning. Ortiz, Josh Reddick and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit solo shots as the Red Sox moved a half-game up on the Yankees with New York’s loss at home to Tampa Bay. “There’s a lot of games to be played. We’re not going to get too excited because we’re a half-game up or whatever,” Pedroia said. “What is it, July?”

Andrew Miller (3-0) won his third straight start, allowing three runs on six hits in five innings. He was hardly overwhelming, walking four while striking out none, but he was good enough to give Boston’s beleaguered rotation another much-needed solid start before the bullpen took over with Boston up 5-3.

“I had no concern whatsoever,” said Saltalamacchia, Boston’s catcher. “His fastball is usually pretty good and it was. There was a few early control problems but obviously he settled down and pitched fine.”

The Orioles lost their fourth straight and ninth in 10 games. Baltimore has allowed 40 runs during the four-game skid.

“Very similar starts by both pitchers. It’s just they did a little better job in righting the ship,” Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. “It’s that time of year when people are kind of emptying the tank in the bullpen because of the off days coming up. A short leash on the starters and we don’t have that luxury.”

Baltimore starter Jake Arrieta (9-6) allowed the first two homers, starting with Pedroia’s drive on a 3-1 pitch that landed in the parking lot behind the Green Monster and put Boston up 3-2. Arrieta had walked Marco Scutaro and Ellsbury to start the inning, then Pedroia cleared the bases.

“That could have easily been avoided or it could have been a solo shot. It did a lot more damage than it should have,” Arrieta said. “I wasn’t able to get the ball and was in a lot of deep counts.”

Gonzalez hit a shot over the center-field wall that put Boston up 5-3 in the fourth, then Ellsbury hit a two-run homer off reliever Jason Berken in the sixth. Ellsbury and home plate umpire Bill Welke bumped into each other as both watched the ball stay inside the right-field pole and give the Red Sox a 7-3 lead.

Pedro Viola came out of Baltimore’s bullpen in the seventh and failed to get an out.

Ortiz made it 8-3 with a line drive to straightaway center, just clearing the wall near the deepest part of Fenway. Reddick followed Ortiz with a homer to right, just his second this season, then Saltalamacchia made it three straight — clearing the Green Monster as Boston fans cheered the homer hat trick.

It was the first time this season the Red Sox strung together three straight homers, and the six home run total was the most for Boston since hitting six in a 10-0 win over the Orioles in September 2009.

“It’s a very good offense and we all talked about it before the season started,” Gonzalez said.

BEAR from page 2 the attack was defensive or an act of aggression. In Wednesday’s mauling, they based their conclusion on the account of the hiker’s wife, who survived, as well as their knowledge of bear behavior.

Brian and Marylyn Matayoshi, of Torrance, Calif., were hiking in a backcountry meadow along a trail a mile and a half from the trailhead when they spotted the bear foraging about 100 yards away. The couple immediately turned and began walking away, officials said.

The grizzly charged and attacked Brian Matayoshi, then went for his wife, who ran for cover behind a tree. The grizzly lifted her off the ground by the day pack she was wearing and then dropped her.

She tried to call 911 on her cell phone, but couldn’t get a signal. Other hikers in the area responded to her cries for help and managed to get through to emergency officials.

Marylyn Matayoshi told rescuers that the couple surprised the sow, its cubs nearby — one of the most dangerous situations possible for humans encountering grizzlies. Park officials believe the grizzly had two six-month-old cubs, based on previous sightings in the area and cub tracks where the attack occurred.

“All indications are that this was a defensive attack,” park spokesman Al Nash said. “In such cases, the park’s policy is to leave the bear in the backcountry.”

The bear had never been documented before, never been tagged, and there was no reason to believe it had interacted with humans before, Nash said. They said the way the attack happened indicated the bear didn’t intend to eat the couple.

Marylyn Matayoshi escaped injury and was no longer at the park, and officials declined to reveal her whereabouts.

In Torrance, neighbor Kathy Hester said Matayoshi and his wife kept their house immaculate and recently had put in a new lawn. “They are the sweetest people you’d ever want to meet,” Hester said.

Park officials called the mauling a “1-in-3-million” encounter.

While many visitors Thursday morning were unaware of the attack, many seemed to know about it by the afternoon. Desk clerks at hotels inside the park told new arrivals that there had been a bear mauling.

Worried relatives called or texted other visitors.

Some were surprised that rangers didn’t let them know when they entered the park that there had been an attack and that some trails were closed.

Dantzler’s 10th inning walk-off homer gives Muskrats 5-4 win over New Bedford; 2 home games this weekend

LACONIA — L.B. Dantzler (State College of Florida) sent everybody home happy Thursday morning, ending a six-hour game with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning. Laconia defeated New Bedford 5-4.

It was a marathon day at Robbie Mills Field, with a game that had a little bit of everything. The game between the Muskrats and the visiting Bay Sox started at 6:05 p.m. and progressed normally until the top of the second inning, when a lightning delay set the game in a holding pattern that would last three hours.

The rain showers subsided after 9, at which time the tarp came of the infield, and play resumed around 9:45. But nine innings would not be enough to decide the game, as the teams went to extra innings locked at two runs apiece.

Two tenth-inning doubles off Laconia reliever William Prince (UNC Wilmington) gave New Bedford a 4-3 edge and really put the pressure on in the final frame. The Muskrats would need to extend an already stretched-out game once more.

New arrival Drew Fann (Vanderbilt), who did the catching Wednesday night for Laconia, started the bottom of the tenth off with a single. Kendall Keeton (Walters State CC) entered to pinch run for him, and took off for second on the first move from lefty thrower Greg Terhune (Seton Hall).

Terhune’s first move was a pick off throw to first, but Keeton just beat the relay to second. John Ziznewski (Rockland CC) then bunted Keeton on to third, and pinch-hitter Regan Flaherty (Vanderbilt) drove him in with a sacrifice fly to center field. The Muskrats tied the game at 4-4.

But with one out left before a long game became longer, Dantzler put things to an end with the gamewinning homer.

“I’ve had a few walk-off hits before, but this was my first walk-off homer,” said Dantzler. “It felt great. It had been an extremely long day. We were up at the field for almost nine hours and I think we were all ready to get out of there. Definitely a great feeling.”

“I knew the pitcher (Terhune) would be upset because we had just tied the game, so I was looking for a fastball early in the count that I could drive up the middle and I got it.”

Dantzler was 2-4 on the night, driving in three of Laconia’s four runs. With two on in the third, he doubled home a run, and with the bases loaded in the fifth, he drew a walk to bring in a run.

Charlie Neil (Yale) hit a solo homerun for New Bedford in the third inning to open up the scoring.

The visitors tied the game in the sixth when a twoout error at first by Chad Wallach (Cal State-Fullerton) allowed a runner from third to come home.

Prince ended up getting the win on the mound.

Sean Furney (CCRI) looked sharp for Laconia in relief, throwing hitless seventh, eighth and ninth innings, with one strikeout.

Fans couldn’t help but wonder what could have been for Laconia starter Charlie Steinman (Georgetown), who struck out four of five batters faced before the second inning weather delay. He did not return when play resumed.

With the win, Laconia (8-11) pulled to within one game of the fourth-place Bay Sox in the East, but is still three games off the pace of North Shore. The Muskrats hit the road Thursday, visiting Western cellar-dweller North Adams at 6:30 p.m., live on the NECBL Broadcast Network but the team is back in town with home games on Saturday (New Bedord at 7:05) and Sunday (Sanford at 6:05).

Red Sox ‘Impossible Dream’ team manager Dick Williams dies

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — By taking over a ninthplace team and leading it to the pennant in his first year as a big-league manager in Boston, Dick Williams earned the reputation of being a turnaround artist that he built on later in Montreal and San Diego.

By taking over an emerging powerhouse in Oakland and leading the Athletics to back-to-back World Series titles to start a dynasty in the 1970s, Williams became a Hall of Famer.

Williams, one of only two managers ever to lead three teams to the World Series, died Thursday from a ruptured aortic aneurysm at a hospital near his home in Henderson, Nev., the Hall of Fame said. He was 82.

Before coming to Oakland, Williams was part of Boston’s memorable “Impossible Dream” team in 1967 that won the pennant for the first time since 1946 before losing the World Series in seven games to St. Louis.

Guest conductor JoAnn Falletta debuts with New Hampshire Music Festival Orchestra

PLYMOUTH — Guest conductor JoAnn Falletta will mark her debut with the New Hampshire Music Festival Orchestra at Plymouth State University’s Silver Center for the Arts on Thursday, July 14 and at the Gilford High School auditorium on Friday, July 15.

With a rapidly growing international reputation as a vibrant ambassador for music and an inspiring artistic leader, Falletta is an effervescent and exuberant figure on the podium and has been praised

by The Washington Post as having “Toscanini’s tight control over ensemble, Walter’s affectionate balancing of inner voices, Stokowski’s gutsy showmanship, and a controlled frenzy worthy of Bernstein.”

Acclaimed by The New York Times as “one of the finest conductors of her generation,” she serves as the music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, principal conductor of the Ulster Orchestra in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and principal guest conductor of the Brevard Music Center.

Inns & Spa at Mill Falls completes renovations in two suites at Lakeshore Cottage overlooking Meredith Bay MEREDITH — The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls recently completed renovations on two deluxe suites in the Lakeshore Cottage, which sits directly on the shoreline of Lake Winnipesaukee with stunning views of Meredith Bay. The Lakeshore Cottage, consisting of the Overlook Suite on the main level, and the Hearthstone Suite on the lower level, is decorated in classic Adirondack style.

The renovated Overlook Suite features top floor living space; two bedrooms; living room with a pullout sofa bed and fieldstone gas fireplace; attached dining area; fully equipped kitchen and two full baths; lakefront screened-in porch; private outdoor jacuzzi; and deck equipped with a gas grill overlooking the lake and access to a boat dock. The Overlook Suite can accommodate four to six guests.

Room rates for the Overlook Suite start at $469 per night.

The renovated Hearthstone Suite, which can be reserved as an adjoining room to the Overlook Suite, features one floor of living space on the lower level of the Lakeshore Cottage; one bedroom with a king bed; shared living area with a pullout sofa bed and hearthstone gas fireplace; glass shower and soaking tub; window seat overlooking the lake; lakefront screened-in porch with field stone floor; private outdoor jacuzzi; a gas grill; and access to a boat dock. The Hearthstone Suite accommodates up to 4 guests. Room rates start at $429 per

night.

“These suites offer spectacular lake views, decks with screened porches, each with a private Jacuzzi and comfortable living space for up to ten guests,” said Gail Batstone, general manager of The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls. “Our guests enjoy the convenience, scenic beauty, and privacy the suites in the cottage provide, along with all the amenities of our other adjacent properties. We expect that new and returning guests will be thrilled with the newly upgraded suites.”

The Inns & Spa received planning board approval in April to begin construction on Phase II of its Church Landing expansion to add 15 deluxe lake view rooms and suites in two new buildings and one renovated cottage on site. The two new buildings — The Birch Lodge and The Boathouse Lodge — will be constructed on either side of the renovated Lakeshore Cottage. Construction will begin in October 2011. The new buildings are scheduled to open in May of 2012.

The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls also just completed renovating the carport at Church Landing to accommodate more event space, including additional breakout rooms, vendor space and dining areas. The new facility, called “The Carriage House,” added 1,700 additional square feet of meeting space and an expanded lobby area of 955 square feet, with 14-foot ceilings. The new facility offers expansive views of Lake Winnipesaukee.

The cost of running for office has grown so large that politicians must go to large donors and the

Lakes Region’s Lee White & Alida Millham given home care honors

CONCORD — The Home Care Association of New Hampshire (HCANH) presented its 2011 Home Care Service Awards to three recipients this year: John Callahan, chairman of the board for Home Health & Hospice Care in Merrimack; Lee White, Chairman of the Board for Central New Hampshire Home Health & Hospice, with offices in Laconia and Wolfeboro; and Susan Young, the association’s executive director, who is retiring in August. State Representative Alida Millham of Gilford was also honored with the 2011 Home Care Public Policy Award.

White, chair of the board of the Central New Hampshire Home Health & Hospice, has shown tremendous leadership and vision for both VNA-Hospice of Southern Carroll County & Vicinity (VNA-Hospice) in Wolfeboro and Community Health & Hospice in Laconia. A retired physician, he served on the VNAHospice Board as president for four years, during which time he led both agencies in their exploration of a formal partnership.

“Lee’s credibility as a member of his community, his experience in medicine and healthcare administration, and his unique ability to honor the past while looking to the future made him the ideal candidate to explore the merger and ultimately lead the merger when both agencies agreed to take the courageous step to become one entity,” said Margaret Franckhauser, CEO of Central NH VNA & Hospice, the entity that resulted from the merger. “We are deeply honored that Lee chose to stay on in a leadership role, understanding that this role would require an even deeper commitment of his time.

Every board should be so lucky to have such a dedicated and energetic board member.”

Millham is one of the founders of the Home Care Association of New Hampshire, established in 1974,

when she was involved in home health care in the Lakes Region. She was also the co-founder of the predecessor agency that became Community Health & Hospice and is now Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice. She served as executive director of Community Health & Hospice for 17 years before retiring in 1998. Among her many accomplishments, she is a past board president of the Home Care Association, was the first recipient of the Home Care Service Award in 1976, is a trustee of the Lakes Region General Hospital, and is currently a State Repre-

sentative from Gilford.

As a legislator, Millham has focused on issues related to long-term care, public health, professional practice acts, and medical record information privacy and exchange.

“Alida is a consistent, thoughtful policymaker,” states Susan Young, executive director of the Home Care Association of NH. “She has the respect of both parties and state officials, and provides leadership on all sorts of health care issues. She is a true champion of home health care.”

LACONIA — “Gardening for All Ages” is the theme for the Opechee Garden Club’s 15th Annual Garden Tour, Luncheon and Boutique, to be held from 9 a.m. — 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 16.

Tour co-chair Judy Robertson said, “We are grateful to those Laconia and Gilford homeowners who are opening their homes for our tour, and we are excited about the variety and quality of the gardens offered this year — truly something for all ages.”

Co-chair Barb Sargent described some of the tour sites as “Gardens located on two area lakes and a fabulous mountain-top setting with breathtaking views of yet another lake and spectacular mountains beyond; an English-style garden with lots of color and texture offering a stroll through trees and shrubs to a more formal setting; a lovingly-tended garden of wildflowers, perennials, and herbs with a patio surrounded by a white picket fence; a featured children’s garden; and more.”

Special guest, Greg Moonie, an advanced master gardener and lecturer at Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens, in Stamford, CT., whose specialty is composting, will be available to answer gardening questions.

A variety of table settings with accompanying floral arrangements will be displayed at each location, and artists working en plein air will add yet another artistic dimension to the event.

Denise Ortakales, author and illustrator of children’s books, will demonstrate some of her techniques at the children’s garden between 11 a.m. — 2 p.m. Included in the children’s garden will be containers planted by members with the help of a child in their lives to instill the love of gardening in youth.

The always popular luncheon, catered by garden club members, will be served from 11 a.m. — 2 p.m. and include a variety of homemade salads, rolls, desserts, and beverage, accompanied by the relaxing music of Jane Ellis at the keyboard. Visitors are encouraged to “stop and smell the flowers” during the tour with coffee and muffins offered at one location in the morning, and cookies and lemonade at another location in the afternoon.

Becky Gage and the Committee promise another shopping opportunity for that perfect gift or for one’s own garden at Sheilah’s Boutique, featuring gardenrelated items from the useful to the whimsical. All

are encouraged to succumb to temptation by the Raffle table, as someone will surely take home their own Adirondack chair or other enticing item.

“I look forward to greeting prior and new visitors to our tour,” said President Carmel Lancia “ It is a wonderful way to spend a summer day, enjoying this beautiful region and the lovely gardens, all the while helping to raise funds for worthwhile endeavors such as our EverGreen Award, the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation, and support for other area projects and community gardens. “ Tickets for this self-guided tour of seven selected Lakes Region gardens are priced at $20, which includes the luncheon. Advance tickets may be purchased at Appletree Nursery in Winnisquam, Beans & Greens in Gilford, Cackleberries in Meredith, Petal Pushers in Laconia, Kitchen Cravings Restaurant and Sawyer’s Dairy Bar in Gilford, the Gilford and Laconia Libraries, from club members, by calling 520-0578, 731-9810 or e-mailing opecheegardenclub@yahoo.com.

On tour day, tickets will only be available in the morning at the Laconia Public Library and all day at the Gilford Community Church.

LACONIA — Evangelical Baptist Church invites children to “PandaMania: Where God is Wild About You!” a summer vacation Bible school to be held from 6:30 — 8:45 p.m. on July 10 — 14.

Kids age 3 — 12 will explore a bamboo forest filled with crazy pandas, as they discover that God loves

us. Bible-learning activities will include singing catchy songs, playing teamwork-building games, digging into yummy treats, experiencing electrifying Bible adventures, and creating crafts to take home and play with all summer long.

Each day of the event will conclude with a Rowdy Wrap-Up — a celebration that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Family members and friends (also called Very Important Pandas) are encouraged to join in for this special time of the day.

Kids at PandaMania will join nearly a million children sharing God’s love with other children throughout Latin America. Through this mission project, called Operation Kid-to-Kid, kids in North America will create special backpacks for needy children.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t have the same reaction to today’s circumstances as the others around you. However, you’ll still recognize that others have a right to their feelings, whatever they may be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Your deep sense of inner security makes it unnecessary for you to acquire certain trappings. You know that you’re not in competition with the rest of the world. What matters is what you think of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will work brilliantly on a team of two. Like an expert improvisational actor, you’ll have a complementary response to whatever twists your costar throws at you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll enter a “safe zone” in which it is acceptable to want whatever you want in whatever quantity you believe would be most satisfying. This zone might be a space in your own mind.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Compliments must be true to be believable. You’d rather be acknowledged for something small than accept a big compliment that doesn’t seem to fit.

You’ll use this principle to make someone feel good.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 8). You create a sense of sacredness in everyday life. July brings emotional nurturing to you, and later you’ll turn around and nurture someone else. You’ll get a loan in August, and you’ll invest in the education and resources needed to be selfsufficient. In December, you’ll use your talents to make people happy. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 24, 3 and 14.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Barraged with images of models and celebrities every day, it’s no wonder so many suffer from low self-worth. Those people center their lives on looking good. Measure yourself against your own standards of “normal.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be made to feel very special. Someone will ingratiate him or herself to you by offering you passes and privileges not given to “just anyone.” Your enjoyment and appreciation of the act will ensure that it happens again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You keep up a certain pattern of behavior so as not to disappoint the ones who have grown used to it. As you go through the motions now, you may question whether you still want to do these things.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you were a child, your face transparently reflected your displeasure. Now you skillfully hide the sour faces of your youth as you opt for more mature and constructive ways to conduct yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You would be wise to help the authority figures you’re dealing with to feel comfortably superior. They will appreciate your support, friendship and loyalty and do not need the threat of your competition.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Wake up and notice how rare your contributions are. No one else can do what you do in the way you do it. You don’t always get credit, either. But give yourself credit, and celebrate your uniqueness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have complete control over who you see today. So you’ll likely hang around a certain person who always seems to have a way of making you feel comfortable and acknowledged.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, July 8, 2011— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I recently found out that my 27-year-old married daughter is having an affair with her 40-year-old boss.

He is married and has two children. She doesn’t know that I know.

I warned her to be careful when I noticed that she and her boss sometimes work late. I told her that when I was her age, I did some things I was not proud of. I also sent her articles about people having affairs. I told her it was wrong and people would get hurt. I have tried to give her as much advice as I could without letting on about what I know, but now I think it’s time to tell her.

I do not want to do this over the phone, so I am waiting for the vacation we are taking with her and her husband in a few weeks. This has truly been a shock to me because I thought I had taught her better than this. Before she married, her father and I separated for a year. I never told her that he was seeing someone else.

So far, I have told no one about my daughter’s affair, but I want to confide in my husband. How should I handle this?

-- Puzzled Dear Puzzled: Talk to your daughter. We are hoping you are wrong about the affair, but either way, rest assured, your previous warnings have not gone unnoticed. If you think her father could help convince her to end things, you should discuss your concerns with him. Beyond that, sorry to say, the choice is hers, good or bad. Sometimes we simply have to let our children fall down and pick themselves up.

Dear Annie: My brother, an irresponsible, selfish and selfcentered person, divorced my sister-in-law a number of years ago, stating she was “not fun” anymore, that she never allowed him to buy all the things he wanted, and that she had

gained weight. While he danced through life at everyone else’s expense, his poor wife was left with all the heavy lifting in their relationship, including raising the children. (By the way, my brother, who has struggled with alcohol and emotional issues his whole life, also has a weight problem.)

My brother bounced from one job to another, always spending more than he earned. It was heartbreaking to watch my sister-in-law become a shell of the person she once was.

And when she was totally and completely drained, he filed for divorce.

When he discovered I was still in contact with my ex-sisterin-law, he called me “The Bad Sister” and stopped speaking to me. He pestered his daughters for a photo of himself so he could post it to a dating website, and he started seeing other women before the divorce was finalized. I was ashamed of his behavior.

I wish I could mend the fence my brother has put up, but I refuse to abandon my sister-in-law, who is not only one of my closest friends, but the mother of my two beautiful nieces.

Please tell your readers to think about the hearts of others before issuing ultimatums that force people to choose sides in a divorce. More often than not, it’s the hearts of the children that break. -- Loving Aunt in Connecticut Dear Aunt: We hope our readers are listening. Thank you.

Dear Annie: “Crying in California” was upset that she did not receive a condolence card from the doctor after her daughter died. My wife, age 56, passed away just over a year ago after an 18-month battle with lung cancer. Her oncologist at the Lack’s Cancer Center in Grand Rapids, Mich., as well as his staff and her chemotherapy nurse all sent cards. Those cards meant a great deal to me. -- J.T.

Lake & Land Poker Run Volunteers needed for Belknap County 4H for Easter Seals New Fair work day at fairgrounds on July 10 Hampshire to honor community leaders July 9 LACONIA — The 11th Annual Lake & Land Poker Run for Easter Seals New Hampshire will get underway at the NASWA Resort at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 9.

Boats, bikes, cars — anything that floats or rolls — are getting ready for the long-anticipated tradition that remembers the NASWA Resort’s patriarch, Peter Makris, and the founder of HK Powersports, Mike Whalley. Both men contributed greatly to their community and to Easter Seals and passed away long before their time.

This is the only Land & Lake Poker Run in the Lakes Region. Proceeds benefit Easter Seals NH, the area chapter of the national non-profit organization that extends its helping hand to all members of the community, from children to seniors to veterans.

For a $45 pre-registration ($50 registration day of the event) fee, participants will receive: the first “chip” for the Poker Run (collect all five at various stops to be eligible for prizes); a map of checkpoints; one free T-shirt, tank, or spaghetti tank; one free pass to the post event party at the NASWA Resort; one free raffle ticket for the grand prize drawing; and special options for special guests.

The Grand Prize is a Polaris Ranger ATV valued at $8,200. Second Prize is an Old Towne Canoe valued at $812. Third Prize is a pair of kayaks valued at $747.

Entertainment for the event will be provided by DJ Terry.

For more information or to register, call The NASWA at 366-4341 or Easter Seals at 623-8863.
