Access to cheap federal money boosts Build a new home Huot Center redo budget up to $13.6M for Sachem football

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — School officials have patched together sufficient federal and state funding to undertake a $13.6-million expansion and renovation of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center at Laconia High School with minimal impact on local property taxpayers.

School Suprintendent Bob Champlin yesterday told a joint meeting of the Budget Subcommittee of the School Board and

Finance Subcommittee of the City Council that the funding will support the construction of 32,600-square-feet of new space on two floors along Dewey Street and the reconfiguration of 17,000-square-feet of existing space along with the purchase of new equipment.

The board preferred this plan, but at an estimated cost of $11-million it appeared out of reach as recently as last month. Moreover, Champlin suggested there may now be enough funding to replace boilers and repair see HuOt page 4

at Robbie Mills?

LACONIA — The prospect of the city acquiring the former Laconia State School property on North Main Street and the School Board beginning to consider improvements to the high school on Union Avenue have prompted some to suggest moving the football field to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex off Meredith Center Road.

The art of drawing bricks instead of laying them Rick Clark, an employee of New England Brickface, carves a groove into the facade on the exterior of the former Sundial Shop building on Main Street in Laconia on Friday.

Other members of the Tewksbury, Mass.-based crew included Angel Navarro, Freddie Garcia, Danny Latimer and Jay Garay. The company creates a convincing brick facade by installing three layers of concrete stucco. The first layers are the color of mortar, the exterior layer is a textured brick red. After the three layers have set, the crew completes the brick face look by scoring lines in the red stucco to reveal the gray beneath. The crew expected to finish the job within a few days, far shorter than the time needed to install a genuine brick wall. The building was purchased earlier this year by Lakes Region Acquisitions, LLC, a partnership of John Heise, Steve Wainwright, John Moriarity and Dave Drapeau. They group is making substantial renovations, inside and out. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

Former first lady Betty Ford dies at 93

(AP) — Betty Ford said things that first ladies just don’t say, even today. And 1970s America loved her for it.

According to Mrs. Ford, her young adult children probably had smoked marijuana — and if she were their age, she’d try it, too. She told “60 Minutes” she wouldn’t be surprised to learn that her youngest, 18-year-old Susan, was in a sexual relationship (an embarrassed Susan issued a denial).

She mused that living together before marriage might be wise, thought women should be drafted into the military if men were, and spoke up unapologetically for abortion rights, taking a position contrary to the president’s.

“Having babies is a blessing, not a duty,” Mrs. Ford said.

The former first lady, whose triumph over drug and alcohol addiction became a beacon of hope for addicts and the inspiration for her Betty Ford Center in California, died at age 93, family friend Marty Allen said Friday.

Details of her death and where she died were not immediately available, and Allen, chairman emeritus of the Ford Foundation, said he would not comsee FORD page 12

U.S. hiring slowed to near standstill in June WASHINGTON (AP) — Hiring slowed to a near-standstill last month, raising doubts that the economy will rebound in the second half of the year.

The report baffled economists who had predicted much stronger job creation. And it escalated a debate in Washington over how to spur hiring and energize the economy while also cutting federal spending.

Just 18,000 net jobs were created in June, the fewest in nine months. The unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent, the highest rate of the year, the Labor Department said Friday.

Stocks plunged after the report was released, although the market recovered some losses in

late-afternoon trading. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 62 points for the day.

Broader indexes also fell.

For President Barack Obama, the sputtering job market represents a threat 16 months before his re-election bid.

“Our economy as a whole just isn’t producing nearly enough jobs for everybody who is looking,” Obama acknowledged in a speech in the White House Rose Garden.

Obama used the dismal job data to press Congress to raise the government’s borrowing limit. He also said Congress could strengthen the economy by passing three free-trade accords, approving government projects to create construction jobs and

extending a Social Security tax cut.

But Republicans oppose an increase in the $14.3 trillion borrowing limit without steep cuts in spending. And they said the report reinforces their argument that tax increases would stunt job growth and shouldn’t be part of any deal.

Friday’s report suggested that a slowdown that struck the economy in the spring and curtailed job creation may be more than brief.

“June’s employment report doesn’t have a single redeeming feature,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

“It’s awful from start to finish.” see JOBS page 11

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — With a cry from its commander to “light this fire one more time,” the last shuttle thundered into orbit Friday on a cargo run that will close out three decades of both triumph and tragedy for NASA and usher in a period of uncertainty for America’s space program.

After some last-minute suspense over the weather and a piece of launch-pad

equipment, Atlantis and its four astronauts blasted off practically on schedule at 11:29 a.m., pierced a shroud of clouds and settled flawlessly into orbit in front of a crowd estimated at close to 1 million, the size of the throng that watched Apollo 11 shoot the moon in 1969.

It was the 135th shuttle flight since the inaugural mission in 1981.

“Let’s light this fire one more time, Mike, and witness this great nation at its best,” Atlantis commander Christopher Ferguson told launch director Mike Leinbach just before liftoff.

Atlantis’ crew will dock with the International Space Station on Sunday, deliver a year’s worth of critical supplies to the see SHUTTLE page 9

Manchester mayor wants States considering ‘Caylee’s Law’ in wake of verdict 2-year moratorium on refugee resettlement MANCHESTER (AP) — The mayor of Manchester wants to stop new refugees from settling in the city for two years because those already there are still trying to acclimate.

New Hampshire’s largest city has long been a hub for the International Resettlement Program and hundreds of victims of political and religious persecution, ethnic cleansing and natural disasters have found sanctuary in the community.

But Mayor Ted Gatsas and the alderman have concerns that those already in Manchester aren’t getting the support they need from the federally funded program.

Four hundred to 600 refugees are scheduled to arrive in the coming months. Gatsas is asking the International Institute of New Hampshire to withdraw new applications for two years.

The agency calls the request unnecessary.

The final decision is up to the U.S. State Department.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Lawmakers outraged over Casey Anthony’s acquittal have responded by proposing so-called Caylee’s laws that would allow prosecutors to bring felony charges against parents who do not quickly report missing children.

The new measures were triggered, at least in part, by an online petition that had more than 700,000 signatures Friday. Some questioned whether a new law would do any good because the circumstances of the Anthony case were so rare, but lawmakers in at least a dozen or so states have already floated proposals reacting to the verdict.

“Casey Anthony broke new ground in brazenness,” said Florida state Rep. Scott Plakon, who is sponsoring the proposal in his state. “It’s very sad that we even need a law like this, but Casey Anthony just proved that we do as unfortunate as that is.”

In June 2008, Anthony’s 2-year-old daughter Caylee was last seen at the Orlando home she shared with her mom and her maternal grandparents. For the next month, Casey Anthony, then 22, left her parents’ house and spent most of her time with friends, shopping and partying, telling her family and others that Caylee was with an imaginary nanny.

Anthony’s mother called detectives when Anthony could not produce her child. Anthony told investigators she hadn’t called them because the nanny had kidnapped the child and she had been conducting her own search, two of the numerous lies she told investigators.

Anthony was acquitted of murder in Caylee’s death, but convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators. She was sentenced to the maximum of four years, but after serving nearly see CAYLEE page 13

Small earthquake felt in Grafton Co. HAVERHILL, N.H. (AP) — A minor earthquake has struck northern New Hampshire, but there were no reports of any damage or injuries.

The Weston Observatory at Boston College says a magnitude 2.6 earthquake struck near Haverhill, N.H., at 5:09 p.m. Friday. Officials say people near the epicenter would feel shaking for five to 10 seconds.

Police say man detained by Center Harbor woman was looking for Rx

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CENTER HARBOR — Affidavits obtained from N.H 4th Circuit District Court, Laconia Division indicate the man apprehended by the 63-year-old woman whose house was being burgled is an admitted prescription drug abuser.

Local police were called by Linda Carr to her Daniel Webster Highway home at noon of Saturday, July 2 after she interrupted 29-year-old Richard Royea of Dame Road inside the home allegedly stealing her things — including her prescription medicine.

Carr, who has become something of a media celebrity for allegedly grabbing Royea as he tried to flee her home and ordering him to empty his pockets and sit down and wait for police, has said that the spirit of her late husband protected her from harm.

Responding Center Harbor Police Officer Donald Welch said in his affidavit that Royea was sitting in the living room when he arrived and the things he had emptied from his pockets included Carr’s prescription medication and her jewelry.

Welch also said Royea’s knapsack and a buck-style hunting knife were also on the living room floor.

“Royea told (me) that he has a serious addiction to prescription drugs (and) that he knew that the residence contained prescription medication and was a reason why he chose the Carr residence.” wrote Welch.

Welch said yesterday that he was thrilled this particular episode had a happy ending but said police very much discourage homeowners from confronting intruders.

Police said the safest thing to do is get to a safe place and call 9-1-1 immediately.

In Royea’s case, Welch said he was held in Belknap County Jail over the holiday weekend and appeared Tuesday morning before Judge Jim Carroll.

Carroll allowed his release on $25,000 personal recognizance bail and to refrain from all alcohol and non-prescription drug use. Royea is charged with

one felony count of burglary.

In a related issue, Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin is one of the lead participants in a criminal justice study being done by a professional prison consultant at the behest of the Belknap County Commissioners.

The study lead to the formation of a local criminal justice committee that includes Wiggin, Belknap County Jail Superintendent Daniel Ward, Belknap County County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen, Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O’Neill III, Belknap County Youth Services Director Brian Loanes.

The committee is being guided by N.H. Superior Court Chief Justice Tina Nadeau on an ex-officio basis and has employed David Bennett — a prison consultant who helped redesigned the Strafford County criminal justice system.

Wiggin said yesterday that one of the most serious epidemics facing local police departments is

the abuse of prescription drugs and the subsequent crimes committed to obtain them.

In Laconia, city police have been plagued by a spate of recent night-time robberies and have seen two drug overdose deaths in two weeks from abuse of the powerful prescribed pain killing Fentanyl patches.

In addition, city police succeeded last month in getting three local people indicted by a grand jury on one special felony count each for the sale narcotics that resulted in the heroin overdose death of a 22-year-old Ashley Denty.

Laconia Police Chief Christopher Adams has said he is likely to reactivate a task force similar to the one created by retired Chief Michael Moyer in 2008 following a rash of methadone overdose deaths in 2007.

According to an Associated Press article printed in 2008 in the Caledonian Record in Vermont, drug overdoses killed more people in New Hampshire in 2006 and 2007 than car accidents.

HUOT from page one roofs as well as begin design work in anticipation of making improvements to the high school itself.

Initially, the budget for the project was $10-million, of which the state would contribute 75-percent.

Last June, the City Council authorized a borrowing of $2.5-million contingent on receipt of the $7.5-million balance from the state. The Legislature trimmed the state share by appropriating $7,125,000 in the 2012-2113 capital budget, which shrank the local match to $2,375,000 and the budget for the entire project to $9.5-million.

However, last month school officials learned that the district, where more than 35-percent of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, qualified for a federal “Qualified Zone Academy Bond” of $6,506,000, which carries no interest. At the same time, the district also qualifies regular for state education building aid representing 40-percent of

the $6.5-million total, leaving the local burden at $3.9-million.

The $7,125,000 in state funding and the federal loan of $6,506,000 would increase the budget for the project to $13,631,000, of which the local share of $3,903,600 amounts to 28-percent. This $3.9-million debt would be retired in 17 annual payments of $229,412. By contrast, the net annual cost of the debt service on the original $9.5-million budget, at an interest rate of 4.875-percent, would be $196,875.

In other words, Champlin said, with the interest free federal loan, the budget for the project could be increased by $4.1-million while the total debt service would rise by about $1-million and the net annual payments by less than $33,000.

Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), chairman of the Finance Subcommittee, was especially interested in the prospect of funding some improvements see next page

SNHU administrator named interim president of Lakes Region Community College in Laconia LACONIA — The Board of Trustees of the Community College System of New Hampshire have named Dr. Scott Kalicki, vice-president of student affairs at Southern New Hampshire University, as interim president of Lakes Region Community College.

Earlier this year the system mounted a search for a successor to Dr. Mark Edelstein, who announced his retirement in January, but after the field was winnowed to two finalists Chancellor Richard Gustafson chose not to recommend either candidate. The search for a permanent president has been suspended and will resume in the autumn, though there is no specific timetable for filling the post. With Kalicki’s appointment, Edelstein, who has continued as president, will step down at the end of the month.

Kalicki has spent more than three decades as an administrator at a half-dozen colleges and universities as well as offered instruction in organizational leadership and strategic management both in the classroom and on-line.

A graduate of the University of Hartford, where he earned his master’s degree in public administration, Kalicki completed his doctorate in educational administration at the University of Albany. He has held executive positions in student services at Simon’s Rock of Bard College in Great Barrington,

Massachusetts, Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey and Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania and was Dean of Students at Misericordia University in Dallas, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams.

Kalicki chairs the board of directors of Special Olympics New Hampshire and participates in the local United Way. Paul Holloway, chairman of the board of trustees, said “we are pleased to have an individual of Scott Kalicki’s background and experience take the helm,” without indicating what his future at Lakes Region Community College might be beyond the interim presidency.

During the next year, construction will begin on a 30,000 square foot academic building, which will house the nursing and science programs. he $6.4-million project has long been an element in the strategic plan of the college, which has experienced growing demand allied health programs and physical science courses.

Edelstein said yesterday that he was preparing an agenda for Kalicki and expected to be working closely with him to ensure a smooth transition.

Edelstein will continue to reside in the city after his retirement.

from preceding page to the High School. Champlin cautioned that until the work on the Huot Technical Center was bid, there was no assurance there would be sufficient funding for high school. But, he said that the boiler replacement, roof repairs and design work should be included in the bid as “alternates,” which would ensure that if funds were available, the work would be done at competitive prices.

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) was initially skeptical, remarking that “the project has blossomed to almost $14-million,” which is half the cost of building

the new middle school. But, after Champlin drew a comparison between the revised and original budgets for the project, Hamel said “get the estimates for the whole thing — the $13.6-million.”

The School Board will make a full presentation to the City Council at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 25, after which the council must authorize borrowing $6.5-million, a decision Lipman suggested could be made in September or October. In any event, $2.1-million of the borrowing must be both authorized and issued before the close of the year, otherwise the loan would be forfeited.

Correction: Original location of Niagara Fire House was at Gold & Fore An article in Thursday’s paper about the 150th anniversary of Lakeport’s Niagara Fire House incorrectly stated that the building was originally con-

structed on Union Avenue. It fact, was constructed at the corner of Fore and Gold Streets, directly across the Winnipesaukee River from its present location.

Pat Buchanan

The establishment is bluffing By refusing to accept tax increases in a deal to raise the debt ceiling, Republicans are behaving like “fanatics,” writes David Brooks of The New York Times. Anti-tax Republicans “have no sense of moral decency,” he adds.

They are “willing to stain their nation’s honor” to “worship their idol.” If this “deal of the century” goes down, as he calls the Barack Obama offer, “Republican fanaticism” will be the cause.

“The GOP has become a cult” that has replaced reason with “feverish” and “cockamamie beliefs,” writes Richard Cohen of The Washington Post. The Republican “presidential field (is) a virtual political Jonestown,” the Guyana site where more than 900 followers of the Peoples Temple drank the Kool-Aid that Rev. Jim Jones mixed for them.

Does anyone think this an appropriate description of such mildmannered men as Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman?

“The GOP’s Hezbollah Wing Is Now Fully in Control,” screams The New Republic over a recent lead editorial.

Other columnists charge the GOP with holding America “hostage” by refusing to accept tax hikes to avert a default on the debt.

What to make of this hysteria?

The Establishment is in a panic.

It has been jolted awake to the realization that the GOP House, if it can summon the courage to use it, is holding a weapon that could enable it to bridle forever the federal monster that consumes 25 percent of gross domestic product. To bully and blackmail the GOP into surrendering the weapon and betraying its principles and signing on to new taxes, that establishment has unleashed rhetoric more befitting a war on terror than a political dispute.

For how, exactly, are Republicans threatening the republic?

The House has not said it will not raise the debt ceiling. It must and will. It has not said it will not accept budget cuts. It has indicated a willingness to accept the budget cuts agreed to in the Biden negotiations.

Where the GOP has stood its ground is on tax increases.

Is fanaticism behind this stance?

Does this manifest insanity? How does this imperil the nation’s honor and future?

Behind the GOP opposition to tax hikes is the party’s word given to the country that elected it in 2010, its political principles, its traditional view of what not to do when the nation is in a slump, and party history. Fully 235 Republican House members signed a 2010 pledge not to raise taxes. And by giving their word they were rewarded with victory.

Should they now dishonor that

pledge, what would differentiate them from George H.W. Bush, who famously promised in 1988: “Read my lips! No new taxes!” then went back on his word and took the party down to defeat with him?

Second, the GOP is the party of small government and low taxes.

Why would it agree to raise taxes on the private productive sector when federal spending, now at a peacetime record of 25-percent of GDP, is the problem?

Third, America is in a slump, with 9-percent of the workforce unemployed, another 7-percent underemployed and the economy growing at a tepid 1.8-percent. What school of economic thought — Keynesian, supply-side or monetarist — says raising taxes in a slumping economy is the recipe for a return to prosperity? There is no such school.

Why, when the whole country is talking about the need to create jobs, would Congress raise taxes on a private productive sector that employs six in seven Americans and is the creator of real jobs?

In 1982, President Reagan agreed to the same deal being offered the party today: three dollars in spending cuts for every dollar in tax increases to which he assented. As he ruefully told this writer more than once, he was lied to. He got one dollar in spending cuts for every three in tax increases.

What of the charge that the Republican House is holding America hostage, blackmailing the nation with a suicidal threat to throw us all into national default if it does not get its way? This smear is the precise opposite of the truth.

The Republican Party has not said it will refuse to raise the debt ceiling. It has an obligation to do so, and will. The House has simply said it will not accept new taxes on a nation whose fiscal crisis comes from overspending.

If the GOP keeps its word, raises the debt ceiling and accepts budget cuts agreed to in the Biden negotiations, the only people who can prevent the debt ceiling’s being raised are Senate Democrats or Obama, in which case, they, not the GOP, will have thrown the nation into default.

It is the establishment that is resorting to extortion, saying, in effect, to the House GOP: Give us the new taxes we demand, or Obama will veto the debt ceiling and we will all blame you for the default.

They’re bluffing.

The GOP should stand its ground — and fix bayonets.

LETTERS More jobs created in Texas in last year than in other 49 states, combined To the editor, E. Scott Cracraft contributes regularly to The Daily Sun. I often agree with his views, Right-to-Work (RTW) isn’t one of them. He tries to make the case that individuals cannot negotiate with large corporations. Fact is there are tens of millions of people now working for tens of thousands of nonunion companies in every state from mom and pop to IBM & Google making outstanding wages with fabulous benefits. If his conjecture is true, how does that happen? He conveniently omits countless facts and tons of logic that oppose his conclusions including the fairness and freedom issue of FORCING people to pay union dues when in fact they do not want to be in the union.

In the past year there is ONE STATE out of 50 that created more jobs than the other 49 COMBINED. Which state was it? TEXAS. That’s right, one state alone created more jobs in total than all the rest added together. It is an amazing statistic.

Texas is a RTW state and, like N.H., has no income tax. It is big and business friendly. Entrepreneurs can open new business within a few hours. It takes two months to open a new business in near bankrupt union fantasy land California.

Scott says that RTW states can produce low paying jobs. Lets check that for common sense. When is it that NO JOBS with no benefits are superior to low paying jobs with some benefits.

That is FAILED LOGIC 101. Lets ask the tens of thousands of people who work at MacDonald’s or Wal-Mart all across Texas do they want their job or no job. This is particularly true when teen unemployment is at record all time highs. Only one in four teen agers now work in America. It is fact that kids who work during teen years have a much higher success rate in life. There is only ONE purpose for having a union state and that is to PROTECT UNIONS from competing for workers. RTW states do not outlaw unions they just offer FREEDOM of choice. Unions OPPOSE freedom.

If Scott wants to have a debate lets

have one about the legitimacy and logic of allowing unions in the public sector at all. FDR one of the most respected, bigger than life, most famous liberal, social democrats of all time in our country’s history vehemently opposed the unionization of public employees.

He said it was unlawful and unethical stating that the public employee could not without conflict of interest bargain with themselves. The public employee was simultaneously a taxpayer and the same person sitting at the union negotiating table having voted in the one candidate that promised to raise his salary. His concern was dead right accurate. Look at what has happened in public sector unions across America. They are now STRANGLEHOLD artists legally bankrupting towns and states. Union membership plummets across America in the private sector for 30 years while public employee membership sky rockets as it has become the gold rush of legalized stealing.

Profligate spending states like NJ, Ca, IL and NY all teeter on bankruptcy. With out exception these states have been driven to the financial brink by giant, Democrat-controlled union regimes in place for decades that do nothing but jam down higher wages and benefits for public union employees to unsustainable levels and they refuse to stop even in recession. Teachers protesting in Wisconsin have THREE pensions, all totally funded by taxpayers — still it is not enough. Unions demands milked GM into bankruptcy and the public union employees do the same thing to countless communities and states across America. It is despicable behavior.

A school is not a private company, it can not pack up and move if a union becomes unreasonable. A town cannot subcontract it’s police work to China.

It’s hands are tied and public unions are trying to add more rope all pushed by ultra high paid union bosses. Scott worries about low paying jobs being created as unions bankrupt the country. A sad commentary.

LETTERS The minute a cat comes through our door it becomes house cat

Right-to-Work doesn’t end unions, just makes ‘em prove value

To the editor, I just watched a New Hampshire Humane Society segment on our local LRPA-TV, Channel 25. I can’t believe what I heard the host of this particular segment say. She claims to have fostered two black cats that she eventually kept and allows them outside because they live in a “safe” area.

The female cat, being a “good hunter” she said, brought home a bird.

I live in a fairly rural area in Belmont. I adore my backyard, which we keep as “nature friendly” as possible.

We have many species of songbirds, squirrels, chipmunks, and other wildlife that make their homes here. I would never tolerate a stray cat in my yard. It is my responsibility to see to the health of our chickens and goats, not to mention, our flower and vegetable gardens. Cat urine and feces do not belong in my grandchild’s sandbox or underneath my windows on a hot summer night.

Lest you think I am not a “cat person”... I was with NHHS from 1989-1998. One of my responsibilities was overseeing the volunteer foster program at the time. Some of these fosters found permanent residence at our home, as well. My daughter’s cat, “Suki”; “George”, a grey tiger with three legs, my son’s cat, “Ozzy”, a Siamese X, and “Kramer” a beautiful domestic longhair...”Oliver”, a border collie X and three cockatiels I took home for handfeeding at three days

To the editor, Are you concerned yet?

Seems like the battle over Right to Work (RTW) is going to continue as the liberal/union side simply does not want to give up their (emotional) fight. I’d like to interrupt that fight with a few pieces of reality.

The first bit of reality is that every job skill has a value, and that value can change, up or down, based on a few factors. The first is location. As may be expected, the cost of living in New York City or San Francisco is considerably higher than it is in places like Laconia or Minot, North Dakota. One can therefore, reasonably expect their wages would reflect that difference in location.

The next factor is one of supply and demand. The greater the need for the skill and the sparser its availability, will increase the value for that skill level.

Another important factor is what wages and benefits are being paid for that skill level in each area; state, county, and city. There are any number of readily available resources that provide factual information on wage rates, by skill level, for virtually every area in the nation — ranging from entry level positions on up to executive levels. To view one often used example of these resources, the reader might access www.payscale. com to see the type of information that is available. While a number of people may claim that RTW states pay lower wages, they simply either do not know, or they are ignoring demographic realities.

The second bit of reality is that RTW does not do away with unions; it simply means that employees are not required to join them, or to pay dues into them.

The unions have the opportunity to demonstrate their value to employees and, if the employees determine there is merit to becoming a union member,

old. (“Steve” and “Ruby” are in their cage as I write. “Pearl” is no longer with us.)

The minute any cat came through our door, they became house cats.

They had every opportunity to enjoy the “outdoors”. Sunporch, window perches, and interaction with family members and other pets kept them happy, healthy, and entertained.

Denying an “outside” cat access to the outdoors is ignorance. Our rural road has been a death trap for countless neighborhood cats that were allowed outdoors. Most aren’t killed on impact but die a painful death later.

A huge part of New Hampshire Humane Society’s mission is education. Please use this as a positive tool to promote responsible pet owners, as well as being a good steward for our natural resources. There are a plethora of sources NHHS can use to promote to the public. One such is from our own NH Fish & Game site: www. abcbirds.org/abcprograms/policy/cats/ index.html.

NHHS, please accept this as intended. Educating the public and giving them the information they need to make positive choices is essential in caring what is best for ALL animals.

I write to you in memory of “Kramer”, 15, who we just buried last Sunday, next to “Ozzy” who made it to 18. Pretty good for indoor kitties.

Cayle most likely died by drowning but that was just too obvious To the editor, The long, dragged-out trial of Casey Anthony shows how totally STUPID a trial judge can be, and how the press can ignore evidence in their efforts to avoid the truth to make megabucks in exaggerated reporting! Early evidence showed that Cayle most likely died by drowning in the unprotected pool, but that was too obvious, and something Casey was ashamed of letting happen and as her father said, it was an accident gone terribly wrong.

We may never know why they tried to hide that, but it was obvious the family was totally mixed up, with each afraid of being guilty of allowing such an accident to happen. But the prosecution chose to ignore the obvious and drag the case out adnauseaum.

ALL evidence showed that Casey loved and cared for her daughter, with absolutely no indication of wanting to get rid of her. As I see it, the jury paid attention to facts, and ignored the lies of prosecutors. As a viewer, I saw what the jury saw, and the press obviously saw the same! Why then the gross lies

and exaggerations of the press? They were like a pack of blood thirsty wild DOGS. Those asininely stupid blood thirsty press members should all be shot, but we don’t have that option.

They will do their best to destroy the life of Casey, which is sad.

A good example of gross ignorance in that case is the “duct tape”. Anyone who knows anything about such tape knows that it totally fails in a year outside. But all the lawyers are totally stupid, and don’t know anything about real products, and it goes downhill from there!

Years ago I had to serve on a jury, and was shocked at how much the lawyers would LIE about what happened (the first time I needed tranquilizers).

Even worse was jury members who jumped to conclusions with no supporting evidence! With a lot of prodding we got a decision that was fair, but only by fear of being locked up for the weekend! I’ve had doubts about juries ever since!

Boat parade was again a success, thanks to our contributors To the editor, Here’s an enormous “thank you” to the local business’ that made our Winnisquam Village Association Boat Parade a success. Our contributors were very generous: Winnisquam Marine, China Garden, Winnisquam Trading Post, Shooters Tavern, Lobster Connection, Cara Bean Coffee, The Galleria, Story’s Sporting Goods

and McLean Marine, Sal’s Pizza, Mountain View Mama, Katie Flo’s, Meltaway Restaurant, Winnisquam Collectibles, TBones and Cactus Jack and Pirate’s Cove.

I could not have done it without YOU! Barbara Bormes, Social Director, Winnisquam Village Association

they are free to do so . . . at any time during their employment.

The third bit of reality is that the overwhelming majority of both nonunionized and unionized companies have established wage rates and progressions for all jobs – both non-management and management. A worker who does not belong to the union normally follows the same progression track, as does a member of the union.

However, if a non-union employee demonstrates exemplary abilities, the company is not necessarily restricted to only paying what would be the normal progression rate, but may opt to provide a bonus or some sort of financial reward for the employee’s excellence. It must be noted that in most companies, non-management positions are bargained for collectively, not individually. As noted, any deviation from normal progression would be based on employee merit.

At some point people have to connect the dots. When the knitting mills left New England and moved south, it was because labor costs were cheaper.

The south was glad, the north was sad.

Now that those jobs have moved offshore, the south is sad and workers in other countries are glad. Why all these moves? Because we, the people, are addicted to lower costs for our goods and services. And, for good measure, our government imposes on our businesses, the second highest tax rates in the world. Only Japan imposes a higher tax rate and then only by two tenths of one percent. No matter how you slice it, businesses must pass on their labor costs and tax burden to the consumers . . . you and me.

If you’re not concerned, you’re not paying attention.

LETTERS Anyone who believes Founding Fathers were Deists is mistaken To the editor, Colonial Americans , especially in Calvinist new England, provided their children with high standards of education. In the 1700s an undergraduate freshman at William and Mary college had to read, write, converse and debate in Greek. When John Jay applied for admission at age 14 a requirement was to translate the first 10 chapters of the gospel of John from Geek to Latin. John Adams had carefully studied Plato using two Latin translation, one French, one English, and the original Greek. In 1765 he wrote “ a native American, especially in new England who cannot read and write is as rare a phenomenon as a comet” Around 1800 Pierre Samuel DuPont de Nemours conducted a study on education for Thomas Jefferson. He found: most Americans can read, write and cipher. Not more than four in a thousand are unable to write legibly — even neatly.”

He compared the low rate of literacy throughout the world to high literacy rate in America, England, Holland and Protestant Cantons of Switzerland and found in “those countries the Bible is read; it is considered a duty to read it to their children. Education in the colonies was accomplished in the home through Bible reading and newspapers“. Daniel Webster spoke in 1820 in Plymouth, Massachusetts on the same findings. Alexis de Tocqueville observation in 1830 were similar.

Deism arose in Europe in the latter part of the 1600s and became popular in the 1700 and 1800s. They see little reason for prayer, believing God will not intervene or answer their prayer.

Nor do they believe in miracles performed by God. They do not believe that Jesus was sent to atone for men’s sins. And God did not reveal himself through the Bible.

The colonials were familiar with deist ideology but its concepts never gained a foothold in America. The movement was cut short by the Great Awakening of the 1740s.

Dr. M.E. Bradford of the University of Dallas wrote a series of biographical sketches on the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Two were listed as deist’s. Ben Franklin and Hugh Williamson Presbyterian/deist (?). It is highly questionable that Ben Franklin was a deist. At the Great Convention it was Franklin who called for prayer, declaring “God governs in the affairs of men”. He reminded the delegates of the many miracles the colonials experienced during the revolution. Deists believe in neither.

Ben Franklin’s plan for public schools in Pennsylvania insisted that the schools teach “the necessity of a public religion…and the Excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern” Franklin helped found a college, which was dedicated as a nursery of religion and learning “built on Christ, the Corner Stone”. Ben Franklin also proposed a

Biblical inscription for the Seal of the United States. He chose a New Testament verse for the motto of the Philadelphia Hospital and was the chief voice behind establishing a chaplain in Congress.

George Washing: During a five year period, between May 2, 1778 and 1783 there were three significant events where he openly declared his Christian beliefs. At Valley Forge he told his soldiers that in having the character of patriots,” it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian”. In a speech on May 12, 1779, he said that what the children need to learn was the “religion of Jesus Christ, which would make them “greater and happier than they already are” And on June 8, 1783, when he resigned as commander in chief of the military, he said “ without a humble imitation” of the Devine Author of our blessed religion” we “can never hope to be a happy nation”. He declared “ Religion and morality are essential pillars of civil society”. Further reading of George Washington’s writings will shed even more light on the reason he is considered the Father of this country.

Thomas Jefferson: Many have claimed that he was not a Christian.

His writings would not concur with such rumors. He proclaimed himself in 1816 “ I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ”.

Anyone who believes that our Founding Fathers were Deists is sadly mistaken and has not spent enough time reading the writings of the Fathers to accurately understand their religious beliefs.

Making claims that we are not a Christian Nations is ludicrous. Stating we were not founded by Christians and established by Christians rests upon unsound doctrine. It is nothing but propaganda.

Dr. Paul Vitz, Professor of Psychology at New York University and principle author of federally-funded study titled “Religion and Traditional Values in Public Schools Textbooks,” concluded that textbook authors “have deep-seated fear of any form of active contemporary Christianity, especially serious, committed Protestantism”, and the result is an “obvious censorship of religion”. We can no longer entrust the minds of our children to others. Teach your children correct principles of responsibilities, morality and virtue. To learn their heritage left by their ancestors. That Vladimir Illich Lenin’s statement on indoctrination will never gain a foothold in the minds of the future generations: “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted”. If we stick to correct principles and pass them on to our children we will see in our lifetime an awakening and those who are wandering around in the dark might catch a glimmer of hope.

If you think these words were spoken by Reagan you’re in for surprise To the editor, I have been hearing all the talk coming from the president and the liberal progressive message attacking Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan that will get our country out of this fiscal mess this administration has put us in. Rep Ryan’s plan was intended to start a serious dialogue about how to make the systemic changes that need to occur to help strengthen America.

This nasty vitriol has made its way into the negotiations over raising the debt limit and I expect it will get worst before it gets better. You can see the bitter partisanship in the talking points the left uses to describe what the Republican plan will achieve.

The main talking point right now is for “shared sacrifice”, which means “we need more taxes so we can keep spending levels where they are”. We even have labor unions taxing their membership to “overthrow the Republicans” in Congress and to keep them out of the White House.

I know that learning from past history isn’t the progressive way, otherwise why would they be trying so hard to change our country to a communist/ socialist state, that has been proven to fail so many times in world history. If you don’t believe me read The 10 Pillars of Communism and you will see that they are following the playbook.

I could go on and on trying to explain the tried and tested Republican plan to get us out of this recession/depression our country is in but I think a former president explains it so eloquently in a speech he gave. Here are some of the relevant parts of this speech: “There are a number of ways by which the federal government can meet its responsibilities to aid economic growth. . . We can and must step up the development of our natural resources.”

“But the most direct and significant kind of federal action aiding economic growth is to make possible an increase in private consumption and investment demand — to cut the fetters which hold back private spending. In the past, this could be done in part by the increased use of credit and monetary tools, but our balance of payments situation today places limits on our use of those tools for expansion. It could also be done by increasing federal expenditures more rapidly than necessary, but such a course would soon demoralize both the government and our economy. If government is to retain the confidence of the people, it must not spend more than can be justified on grounds of national need or spent with maximum efficiency. …”

“The final and best means of strengthening demand among consumers and business is to reduce the burden on private income and the deterrents to private initiative which are imposed by our present tax system — and this administration pledged itself last summer to an across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes to be enacted and become effective…”

“I’m not talking about a ‘quickie’ or a temporary tax cut, which would be more appropriate if a recession were imminent. Nor am I talking about

giving the economy a mere shot in the arm, to ease some temporary complaint. I am talking about the accumulated evidence of the last five years that our present tax system, developed as it was, in good part, during World War II to restrain growth, exerts too heavy a drag on growth … that it siphons out of the private economy too large a share of personal and business purchasing power; that it reduces the financial incentives for personal effort, investment, and risktaking. In short, to increase demand and lift the economy, the federal government’s most useful role is not to rush into a program of excessive increases in public expenditures, but to expand the incentives and opportunities for private expenditures.”

“Under these circumstances, any new tax legislation … the House of Representatives have the responsibility of initiating this legislation… in general, that any new tax legislation enacted next year should meet the following three tests:” “First, it should reduce the net taxes by a sufficiently early date and a sufficiently large amount to do the job required. Early action could give us extra leverage, added results, and important insurance against recession. Too large a tax cut, of course, could result in inflation and insufficient future revenues — but the greater danger is a tax cut too little, or too late, to be effective.”

“Second, the new tax bill must increase private consumption, as well as investment. Consumers are still spending between 92 and 94-percent on their after-tax income… But that after-tax income could and should be greater, providing stronger markets for the products of American industry.

When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity, men are hired instead of laid-off, investment increases, and profits are high.”

“Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital. …

Now we need to increase consumer demand to make these measures fully effective — demand which will make more use of existing capacity and thus increase both profits and the incentive to invest. In fact, profits after taxes would be at least 15 percent higher today if we were operating at full employment.”

“For all these reasons, next year’s tax bill should reduce personal as well as corporate income taxes: for those in the lower brackets, who are certain to spend their additional take-home pay, and for those in the middle and upper brackets, who can thereby be encouraged to undertake additional efforts and enabled to invest more capital.”

“Third, the new tax bill should improve both the equity and the simplicity of our present tax system. This means the enactment of long-needed tax reforms… For the present patchwork of special provisions and preferences lightens the tax loads of some only at the cost of placing a heavier burden on others. It distorts economic judgments and channels undue amounts of energy into efforts to avoid tax liability. It makes certain types of less prosee next page

SHUTTLE from page 2 orbiting outpost, and bring the trash home. The shuttle is scheduled to land back on Earth on July 20 after 12 days in orbit, though the flight is likely to be extended to a 13th day.

After Atlantis’ return, it will be lights out for the shuttle program. Thousands of workers will be laid off within days.

The spaceship will become a museum piece like the two other surviving shuttles, Discovery and Endeavour. And NASA will leave the business of building and flying rockets to private companies while it turns its attention to sending humans to an asteroid by about 2025 and Mars a decade after that.

It will be at least three years — possibly five or more — before astronauts are launched again from U.S. soil.

Leinbach said that as Atlantis disappeared in the clouds, he and a friend in the control center put their arms around each other and said: “We’ll never see that again.”

Inside the room, “it seemed like we didn’t want to leave,” Leinbach said.

“It was like the end of a party, and you just don’t want to go, you just want to hang around a little bit longer and relish our friends and what we’ve accomplished. So it was very special, lots of pats on the back today.”

“Those are the three tests which the right kind of bill must meet … Profit margins will be improved, and both the incentive to invest and the supply of internal funds for investment will be increased. There will be new interest in taking risks, in increasing productivity, in creating new jobs and new products for long-term economic growth.”

Shuttle crews built the International Space Station, repaired several satellites in orbit and, in a feat that captured the public’s imagination, fixed the Hubble Space Telescope’s blurry vision, enabling it to see deeper into the cosmos than ever before.

But the program suffered two tragic accidents that killed 14 astronauts and destroyed two shuttles, Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. NASA never managed more than nine flights in a single year. And the total tab was $196 billion, or $1.45 billion a flight.

This day of reckoning has been coming since 2004, a year after the Columbia tragedy, when President George W. Bush announced the retirement of the shuttle and put NASA on a course back to the moon. President Barack Obama canceled the moon project in favor of trips to an asteroid and Mars.

But NASA has yet to work out the details of how it intends to get there, and has not even settled on a spacecraft design.

CRUISE NIGHT

Owner Tom Allen and General Manager Miki Pike are celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the founding of the Fitness Edge in Meredith.

New owner & new general manager expect to build on first decade of success at Meredith’s Fitness Edge

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The Fitness Edge first opened its doors 10 years ago. This summer, as the business celebrates its milestone, it does so with a membership that is four times its initial 200, its facilities are larger and grew from one to two, and it has a new owner and general manager. Those new faces said they intend to honor the principals that have kept the fitness club growing: high-quality equipment, a variety of interesting classes and, most of all, friendly and welcoming service.

“What we have here is very strong and it will continue to succeed because of the staff and members,” said Tom Allen, owner of the Fitness Edge since buying the company from founders George Serrano and Wendy and Micky Tata. Allen’s ownership of the company is the latest step in a long and circuitous road.

Allen grew up in Meredith and graduated from Inter-Lakes High School in 1986. A track athlete, he went to Northeastern University in Boston on a scholarship, where he studied business. While at Northeastern, he was recruited to become part of

the national bobsled team.

From 1990 to 1993, Allen was a “push athlete” on the bobsled team, one of the team members specializing in pushing the several hundred-pound sled at the top of the track. During his tenure on on the team, he was an alternate for the 1992 Olympics held in Albertville, France. Allen would continue his relationship with the national team, helping to start a skeleton development program, was the national and Olympic team manager for the bobsled and skeleton federation and was the program director at the Utah Olympic Park for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. Allen’s resume also includes the role of assistant track coach at the University of Florida.

From 2002 to 2006, Allen was traveling with the national bobsled team and he said he “got sick of living out of a bag.” He returned to Northeastern University for Sports Leadership and, after completing that program, set out to find work in Boston, though fate would have other plans for him.

Despite his jet-setting lifestyle, or perhaps because of it, he said he always chose to spend his vacations see next page

from preceding page in Meredith. “I always chose to come home,” he said, adding, “I always wanted to live in Meredith.” It would seem logical that Allen would have more professional chances in a place like Boston but it was during a visit home that opportunity would knock on his door.

While visiting in town, Allen walked through the doors of the Fitness Edge looking for nothing more than a place to get a workout. He liked what he saw, and returned, first as a volunteer and by the fall 2009 was working as the club’s general manager. “I kept on accepting responsibilities, they provided me the opportunities,” he said. He officially took ownership in May of this year.

Miki Pike, a Laconia native who has more than 20 years of industry experience, joined in January as the club’s general manager.

Allen and Pike manage a company that has seen success in its first decade and will try to protect its core values as they lead it into its second. The Meredith location, on Route 3 in the vicinity of the roundabout, covers about 8,500-square-feet and is twice the size it was when it started.

In the fall of 2009, the Red Hill Gym in Moultonborough went out of business, making space for The Fitness Edge to open a second location in the same storefront, which they did on the first of the year in 2010. That satellite location covers about 1,500-square-feet and allows the company to serve

a broader geographic area.

Presently, the club numbers 800 members and will see about 200 of those each day. Most come from Meredith, Center Harbor, Moultonborough or Laconia, while some come from Bristol and Holderness.

Allen said the Fitness Edge fills its own niche in the landscape of local athletic clubs. In his view, Laconia Athletic and Swim Club serves customers who want access to a pool and Gilford Hills Tennis and Athletic Club caters to tennis players.

Since the Fitness Edge doesn’t offer either a pool or tennis courts, Allen said the company has crafted its image as a club that caters to the members who focus on fitness, want great equipment and a friendly atmosphere. He said there’s a “sense of community in the gym” and he notices several clusters of members who tend to exercise at the same time during the week and form a sense of cameraderie.

“People enjoy coming. They can talk to the people on the treadmill next to them.”

“It’s their home away from home,” said Pike.

Of their membership, they said about a third will sign up for classes, the most popular are spin, zumba, ballecore, yoga and a bootcamp-style circuit training.

With their current facilities, they figure they can welcome another 200 members. “We’re hoping to expand to get our Lakes Region more healthy,” said Allen, adding that his plan to do so focuses on service to his members. “We’re here because of them.”

JOBS from page 2 Two years after the recession officially ended, companies are adding fewer workers despite record cash stockpiles and healthy profit margins.

A result is that more people are giving up looking for work. More than a quarter-million people stopped their job searches in June. That kept the unemployment rate from rising even further. When laid-off workers stop looking for work, they are no longer counted as unemployed.

Including discouraged workers and those working part time, but who would prefer full-time work, the “under-employment” rate jumped from 15.8 percent to 16.2 percent.

Businesses added just 57,000 jobs last month.

That was the fewest in more than a year. Governments cut 39,000 jobs. Over the past eight months, federal, state and local governments have cut a combined 238,000 positions.

June was the second straight month of feeble job growth. And the government on Friday revised down the number of jobs the economy added in May, from 54,000 to 25,000.

Companies have pulled back sharply on hiring after adding an average of 215,000 jobs per month from February through April. The economy typically needs to add 125,000 jobs per month just to keep up with population growth. And at least twice that many jobs are needed to bring down the unemployment rate.

Unemployment has topped 8 percent for 29

months, the longest streak since the 1930s. At the same point after the previous three recessions, unemployment averaged just 6.8 percent.

Most economists expect unemployment to remain near 8 percent by next year’s election. That would mean Obama would face a higher unemployment rate than any president running for re-election since World War II. Economists have said that temporary factors, in part, have forced some employers to scale back hiring plans. High gas prices have cut into consumer spending, which fuels 70 percent of economic activity. And supply-chain disruptions stemming from the Japan crisis have slowed U.S. manufacturing production.

Most analysts had hoped that as those trends faded, the economy would pick up in the second half of this year. Manufacturing output has shown signs of reviving and auto factories in Japan have resumed production. At the same time, gas prices have dropped to a national average of $3.59 a gallon, from a peak of nearly $4 in early May. But those factors, plus a still-slumping housing sector and fallout from the European debt crisis, may continue to hold back the U.S. economy for months.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke acknowledged last month that the impact of the weak housing market and tighter credit might be “more persistent than we thought.” The Fed lowered its forecast for growth this year to about 2.8 percent, down from an earlier estimate of 3.2 percent.

LACONIA — The City Council will take a second look at “Pay-As-You-Throw” on Monday night, when consultant Liz Bedard, who first pitched the program in May, returns with fresh information.

PAYT is intended to increase recycling by requiring residents to place the trash and garbage they do not recycle in a special-marked plastic bag purchased at local retail outlets. The trash, together with recyclable materials, is collected at the curbside once a week. Trash not contained in a marked bag is left at the curb.

PAYT treats trash disposal like a public utility by ensuring that households pay only for what they generate, without subsidizing those who chose not to recycle through their property taxes. Moreover, non-profit organizations exempt from property tax would also pay their fair share with PAYT. In May, Bedard projected that if 20-percent of all solid waste were recycled, the annual cost of collection, transportation and disposal would be reduced by almost $1,3- million. However, Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), chairman of the Finance Subcommittee, questioned her calculations and requested a direct comparison between PAYT and the city’s current solid waste operation.

Initially Bedard calculated that the cost of collection, transportation and disposal from would drop from $915,000 to $732,000, for total savings of $294,278. In addition, the city would collect revenue from the sale of the official bags. If the waste stream was reduced by 20-percent, the remaining tonnage of bagged trash collected would represent FORD from page 2 ment further until he received instruction from the family.

“She was a wonderful wife and mother; a great friend; and a courageous First Lady,” former President George H.W. Bush said in a statement on Friday. “No one confronted life’s struggles with more fortitude or honesty, and as a result, we all learned from the challenges she faced.”

While her husband served as president, Betty Ford’s comments weren’t the kind of genteel, innocuous talk expected from a first lady, and a Republican one no less. Her unscripted comments sparked tempests in the press and dismayed President Gerald Ford’s advisers, who were trying to soothe the national psyche after Watergate. But to the scandalscarred, Vietnam-wearied, hippie-rattled nation, Mrs. Ford’s openness was refreshing.

Candor worked for Betty Ford, again and again.

She would build an enduring legacy by opening up

the toughest times of her life as public example.

In an era when cancer was discussed in hushed tones and mastectomy was still a taboo subject, the first lady shared the specifics of her breast cancer surgery. The publicity helped bring the disease into the open and inspired countless women to seek breast examinations.

Her most painful revelation came 15 months after leaving the White House, when Mrs. Ford announced that she was entering treatment for a longtime addiction to painkillers and alcohol. It turned out the famously forthcoming first lady had been keeping a secret, even from herself.

She used the unvarnished story of her own descent and recovery to crusade for better addiction treatment, especially for women. She co-founded the nonprofit Betty Ford Center near the Fords’ home in Rancho Mirage, Calif., in 1982. Mrs. Ford raised millions of dollars for the center, kept close watch see next page

bags with an annual aggregate value of $728,000.

Finally, those who use the transfer station, who are currently charged between $5 and $30 a ton based on the amount they deliver, would pay the full cost of disposal of $82.60 a ton, which would provide an incentive to recycle as well as generate annual revenue of $370,304.

The total annual savings would amount to $1, 392,582. Less the cost of collecting the recyclable materials at the current rate of $120,000 a year, the annual net savings would be $1,272,582.

The comparison offers a different perspective. The annual cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of 15,000 tons of solid waste is $1.6-million, of which $1.2-million is paid by property taxes. The balance is paid by fees charged at the transfer station.

Bedard assumes that with PAYT the solid waste stream will be reduced by 30-percent, decreasing the cost, net of the cost of handling recyclables, to $1, 410,614. She projects revenue from increased fees at the transfer station of $544,729 and proceeds from the sale of bags of $637,000. As a result, only $228,885, or 16-percent, of the cost of solid waste would be met with property taxes while 38-percent of the cost would be paid by fees at transfer station and 45-percent by sales of the trash bags.

Bedard’s projections do not include proceeds from the sale of recyclable materials.

In other words, as Bedard initially acknowledged, PAYT shifts the cost of solid waste from the property tax to the households, which pay in proportion to the amount of trash they generate, while providing an incentive to recycle.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 9, 2011 — Page 13

FOOTBALL from page one tee of the City Council and the Budget Committee of the School Board met to consider funding for the expansion and renovation of the Huot Technical Center, the issue of the football field arose in passing when the conversation touched on the future of the High School.

Both Chris Guilmett and Bob Dassati remarked that if the city acquired the 212-acres on North Main Street, the football field could be relocated in the northwest portion of the property bordering Eastman Road, adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex.

In April, at a planning charette where designs for the Huot Regional Techniocal Educaiton Center were presented, one option was to excavate CAYLEE from page 3 three years in jail awaiting trial, coupled with good behavior credits, she is set to go free next Sunday.

Florida’s proposal would make it a felony for a parent or other caregiver to not report a child under the age of 12 missing after 48 hours. It also makes it a felony to not report a child’s death or “location of a child’s corpse” to police within two hours of the death.

Had Florida’s measure been in place and Anthony been convicted, she could have faced another 15 years behind bars.

Other states are considering similar measures and the online petition at Change.org, started by an Oklahoma woman, calls for a federal law.

“It’s certainly something that we want to look into, because right now looking at the Maryland state law we’re not seeing anything that would fit the circumstances to the degree that we want to,” said Joseph Cassilly, a prosecutor in Harford County, Md., which is one of the state’s considering a Caylee’s law.

But others think it’s unnecessary.

“It only applies to people like her and fortunately those are not common everyday occurrences,” said Willie Meggs, who served as a state attorney in Florida for more than three decades.

“I don’t think it changes anything.”

When Caylee was reported missing, from preceding page over its operations, and regularly welcomed groups of new patients with a speech that started, “Hello, my name’s Betty Ford, and I’m an alcoholic and drug addict.”

Although most famous for a string of celebrity patients over the years — from Elizabeth Taylor and Johnny Cash to Lindsay Lohan — the center keeps its rates relatively affordable and has served more than 90,000 people.

“People who get well often say, ‘You saved my life,’ and ‘You’ve turned my life around,’” Mrs. Ford once said.

“They don’t realize we merely provided the means for them to do it themselves, and that’s all.”

In a statement Friday, President Barack Obama said the Betty Ford Center would honor Mrs. Ford’s legacy “by giving countless Americans a new lease on life.”

“As our nation’s First Lady, she was a powerful advocate for women’s health and women’s rights,” the president said. “After leaving the White House, Mrs. Ford helped reduce the

the visitors’ side of the gridiron and build into the slope. That prompted Joe Cormier, chairman of the Facilities Subcommittee of the School Board, to declare “this is sacred ground for Laconia High School and its alumni.”

He warned that the possibility of relocating the field could “take the momentum and energy away from the Huot” and said “I suggest we work around it.”

Cormier was not present at yesterday’s meeting.

In 2004, when the School Board proposed building a new high school, including a full complement of playing fields, off Parade Road there was little or no talk of the hallowed ground on Union Avenue where the football team has played for generations. the sheriff’s office launched a massive search, but her remains weren’t discovered until six months later, near the Anthony family home. The bones were in such bad shape, prosecutors said they had difficulty collecting forensic evidence from them, making it harder to present their case to the jury.

Anthony’s attorneys argued that Caylee drowned in the family pool. They said Anthony panicked and her father decided to cover up the death by making it look like murder. Anthony’s lies and conduct during the month her child was missing were caused by the sexual abuse she had suffered herself as a child by her father, her attorney said.

Anthony’s father vehemently denied the allegations on the witness stand and said he would have done anything to save his granddaughter.

In Alabama, a bill would make it a felony for a parent, legal guardian or caretaker to not notify law enforcement authorities within an hour after the death of a child and also require parents to report a missing child within 24 hours. In Kentucky, the proposal would make failing to report a child under 12 who has been missing for 12 hours or more punishable by one to five years in prison.

“God forbid we ever run into a mother like Casey Anthony again,” said Plakon, the Florida legislator. “If we do, that mother will be a felon.” and inspired thousands to seek muchneeded treatment.”

Mrs. Ford was a free spirit from the start. Elizabeth Bloomer, born April 8, 1918, fell in love with dance as a girl in Grand Rapids, Mich., and decided it would be her life. At 20, despite her mother’s misgivings, she moved to New York to learn from her idol Martha Graham. She lived in Greenwich Village, worked as a model, and performed at Carnegie Hall in Graham’s modern dance ensemble. “I thought I had arrived,” she later recalled.

But her mother coaxed her back to Grand Rapids, where Betty worked as a dance teacher and store fashion coordinator and married William Warren, a friend from school days. He was a salesman who traveled frequently; she was unhappy. They lasted five years.

While waiting for her divorce to become final, she met and began dating, as she put it in her memoir, “probably the most eligible bachelor in Grand Rapids” — former college football star, Navy veteran and lawyer Jerry Ford.

They would be married for 58 years,

Michigan slayer of 7 said to have often resorted to violence GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — When Rodrick Shonte Dantzler raised a gun to his head after going on a deadly shooting spree, the bullet ended what those close to him described as a troubled life in which he frequently resorted to violence and often made threats against women and relatives.

Police say the 34-year-old ex-con targeted two former girlfriends in Thursday’s rampage, fatally shooting both of them and five members of their families, including his own 12-year-old daughter. He also shot and wounded two other people — one of them another ex-girlfriend — while leading officers on a chase through Michigan’s second-largest city.

“He went out hunting these people down. It was very much a purposeful act.” Police Chief Kevin Belk said Friday, describing Dantzler as mentally unstable but saying he knew of no clinical diagnosis or motive for the killings.

Dantzler’s rap sheet goes back to 1992, when he was charged as a juvenile with breaking and entering and car theft. That was followed over the next eight years by charges of trespassing, domestic violence, destruction of property, larceny and assault.

Dantzler’s mother, who said her son set fire to her house when he was 18, was among four women who sought protective orders against him in the mid- to late 1990s.

“Rodrick has a very explosive temper and will act violently without thinking,” Victoria Dantzler wrote in the petition filed in Kent County Circuit Court.

“I’ve lived in fear of him hunting me down or worse, forcing me to hurt him in order to protect myself. I just wish for him to leave me alone.”

Baseball world stunned by death of Texas dad who fell out of stands trying to catch a ball ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Go to the ballpark and catch a foul ball: It’s what every fan wants to do.

And so it was for 6-year-old Cooper Stone.

He and his dad even stopped to buy a new glove on the way to the Texas Rangers game Thursday night.

Even better, their seats were in the left field stands, shouting distance from Cooper’s favorite player, reigning AL MVP Josh Hamilton.

Maybe, just maybe, he would throw one their way.

In the second inning, he did.

Hamilton grabbed a foul ball that ricocheted into left field, and tossed it into the stands. The boy’s father, 6-foot-3 Shannon Stone, caught it, tumbled over a 33-inch-tall railing and plunged 20 feet onto concrete below, right in front of his son.

The 39-year-old firefighter died a short time later at a hospital.

“That’s what they were there for, was to catch a ball,” Shannon Stone’s mother, Suzann, said. “Cooper loves baseball and he’s a big Josh Hamilton fan. Had his jersey.”

Pitching great Nolan Ryan, now the team’s president, said the tragedy “hits us at our roots of who we are.”

“We’re about making memories, family entertainment,” he said. “I certainly understand — and I’m no different than our fan base — when I was younger and I went to the ballpark my hope was to get a foul ball.

“You can see how many people come into our ballpark with gloves, just hoping to have that opportunity,” Ryan said. “That’s just part of the experience of being there.”

On Friday, players had the option of getting grief counseling, and they wore black ribbons on their uniforms. At Rangers Ballpark, flags flew at halfstaff and a black tarpaulin covered the gap where Stone fell.

A moment of silence was observed before the Rangers and Oakland Athletics played the second game of their four-game series.

Hamilton, still grappling with the aftermath of the wrenching night, said Friday he could hear the boy screaming for his dad after Stone fell. The player said he remembers the fall “like it happened in slow motion.”

Jenny Stone, the victim’s 36-year-old widow, worried how her only son would recover from the horror of not just watching his father fall but riding in the front of the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

At the request of the Stone family, MLB.com has not posted video of the accident.

“She’s very concerned about her son and the impact that this is having on him,” said Ryan, who spoke with her by phone in Brownwood, about 150 miles from Arlington. “She asked if I could do anything about the video footage that is being shown.”

Replays showed the boy watching as his father stretched and reached out to grab the ball and then fell through a gap of several feet between the leftfield seats and the 14-foot-high outfield wall that has a video scoreboard on it.

All-Star closer Chris Perez of the Indians said the tragedy will make him think twice about tossing a see next page

Big Papi homers & fights in Red Sox 10-3 win over Baltimore BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz homered in Boston’s eight-run first inning, then got into a bench-clearing brawl with Baltimore reliever Kevin Gregg as the Red Sox routed the Orioles 10-3 on Friday night.

Ortiz and Gregg exchanged a flurry of punches in the eighth, but neither connected before they were separated as both benches and bullpens emptied for the second time in the inning.

Moments before the fight, Ortiz started toward the mound after taking a second straight pitch inside from Gregg. The benches and bullpens emptied, but nothing developed and Ortiz stepped back into the batter’s box.

Gregg got him to pop out, then shouted something as the Boston slugger started down the first-base line. Plate umpire Mike Estabrook immediately ejected Gregg — and Ortiz quickly changed course, charging toward the mound. Gregg and Ortiz each threw a few haymakers, but the heavyweight bout was swallowed up by the mass of players rushing onto the field.

It took more than 15 minutes to restore order and sort out the ejections. Gregg and Ortiz were tossed, as well as Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Baltimore reliever Jim Johnson.

Estabrook couldn’t quite reach Ortiz in time to stop him from getting to Gregg. The benches and bullpens cleared again as Boston fans cheered “Papi! Pa-pi!”

The Orioles, who allowed 10 or more runs for the fourth time in five games, were flustered after the Red Sox sent 13 batters to the plate in the opening inning and tagged starter Zach Britton for seven earned runs on six hits and two walks. Ortiz hit a three-run shot.

It was Boston’s fourth straight win, and it extended Baltimore’s losing streak to five.

Britton (6-7) didn’t even make it through the inning, getting pulled with two outs after Jacoby Ellsbury blooped an RBI single in his second at-bat.

The outburst of runs was plenty for Josh Beckett (8-3), who allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings. Beckett was having problems with the wet dirt on the mound after a steady rain fell early in the game and he didn’t return for the sixth. Having already lost another starter to the disabled list this week, the Red Sox were not risking Beckett’s health so close to the All-Star break.

The Red Sox said Beckett mildly hyperextended his left knee and removed him for precautionary reasons.

He was already in line for the win after Boston’s huge first inning, then Dustin Pedroia added a run in the sixth with a solo homer that was kept inside Fenway Park only by a sign above the left-field wall.

Pedroia knocked one all the way out of the venue on Thursday in Boston’s 10-4 win.

Boston reached 10 runs again Friday on Josh Reddick’s RBI triple in the eighth.

Baltimore finally scored in the fifth on Derek Lee’s solo homer and RBI singles later in the inning from Nick Markakis and Adam Jones.

Brad Bergesen, who relieved Britton in the first, was knocked out of the game when he took a line drive from Ortiz off his pitching arm. The ball bounced hard off Bergesen’s right forearm and rolled quickly to the third base line.

Bergesen chased down the ball and walked back to the mound, but didn’t throw another pitch and headed back to the dugout with a trainer as right-hander Chris Jakubauskas was called in from the bullpen. The Orioles said Bergesen had a bruised right forearm.

It was that kind of night for the Orioles.

Boston already led 1-0 when Ortiz came to bat with two on and hit a shot well into the right-field seats on a 1-0 pitch.

from preceding page ball to a fan.

“I’m definitely going to make sure it is nowhere near a railing,” he said. “When you are a kid, it’s cool because it is a lasting memory. But when I see adults knocking one another over to get one, not an historic home run ball or something like that, but just a baseball ... well, I just shake my head.”

City officials say the building code requires the guardrails to be at least 26 inches high. Ed Dryden, Arlington’s building official, said railings throughout the park are 33 inches high.

There have been other falls at the 17-year-old stadium. Last July, a man survived after tumbling from an upper deck as he tried to catch a foul ball. In 1994, a woman fell about 35 feet as she posed for a picture after the Rangers’ first game.

After last year’s accident, Ryan said the team studied the railings and felt safety was adequate; he said he wasn’t prepared to say if any changes might be made now.

“As an organization we are going to be looking into this because our No. 1 concern is the

safety of our fans,” Ryan said. “We’ll do whatever we have to do to make this stadium as safe as we possibly can for our fans.”

Major League Baseball promised a review of the incident “to ensure a safe environment for our fans.”

It was the second fatal fall at a major league sta-

dium this season.

In May, a fan died after falling about 20 feet and striking his head on concrete during a Colorado Rockies game; witnesses told police he had been trying to slide down a staircase railing and lost his balance.

Holy Trinity applauds accomplishments of 10 graduating eighth graders

LACONIA — Holy Trinity School recently acknowledged and applauded the accomplishments of its eighth graders at graduation ceremonies marking a milestone in the education of these ten students.

Confident in the knowledge that they are well prepared for the challenges of high school and beyond, Holy Trinity presented an evening filled with smiles, laughter, and a few tears. Melissa Mallahan presented the class gift to Principal Jack Fortier.

The graduating class raised monies for a computer docking station for the school’s laptop computers along with three Wi-Fi boosters.

Co- salutatorians, Meaghan Aubut and Lexi Moore, shared funny personal stories about each member of the Class of 2011. In her parent recognition speech, Aliza Gray had this

to say to the parents of the graduating class: “It’s hard to believe that we’re finally here, the final stage of our education at Holy Trinity. The steps we took here, the milestones we reached here, and the goals we achieved here are incredible. So many firsts happened within those walls, from our first big test to our first crush to our first basket or goal.”

Hope Walker, valedictorian, concluded her speech stating, “Over the nine years I have spent at Holy Trinity, my class has created a very special bond. We grew up together, and through the years we have spent together we evolved into a family. And when you’re a family it’s not for a minute, or just for now, it’s forever. Holy Trinity has become a piece of all of us, and the good times we have experienced here together will remain in our hearts.”

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Delivery (6 mile radius)

Real Estate Karma?

We are halfway through 2011. So is the real estate glass half empty or half full? If you are looking at the total number of listings in the 12 Lakes Region communities in this report, you’d have to say that the glass is way more than half full, it is actually overflowing. As of July 1, there were 1389 residential listings available.

That’s up 8-percent over the 1277 homes that were available last July 1. That’s a lot of homes on the market. A 22.75 month supply to be exact.

The average asking price is down from $551,288 last July 1 to $525,250 this July. The median price is down as well from $285,000 to $269,000. So while we have a huge glut of homes on the market which is bad, there is a huge selection for buyers to choose from at lower prices which is good. I get accused of being too positive all the time about our real estate market, so this time you get to decide if the glass is half full or empty?

With all these houses on the market and with so few selling there is no doubt that we sometimes see more homes expire in a month than actually sell. It’s just the nature of the market right now.

It is extremely frustrating for sellers and agents alike. Sellers have to work hard to keep their home in show ready condition and agents work twice as hard marketing and showing the property. It is tough when there are so many homes

$

available and so few buyers. It seems that the moon and stars need to be aligned just right to find a buyer. It also seems like it is always a question of is the house being marketed properly, is the house listed at the right price, or are there just no buyers looking right now?

When the listing term expires on a home there is a decision to be made by the owner. Should he continue with his existing agent or go find someone else? The answer to that question should be based on the performance of the listing agent and how the home was marketed. Most agents work very hard to get their listings sold. After all, none of us get paid unless we make a sale. Sometimes, a seller doesn’t understand how the agency markets his property or how much the agent actually does for him. But let’s assume for the moment that the listing agency and agent are doing everything they should be doing. And, no, that does not mean doing public open houses every week. That doesn’t work.

Then consider the price of the home. It is the owner that has the final say on price. Agents recommend, owners decide. Sometimes the homeowner just wants way too much. Sometimes he has no choice and has to price the home at a certain level so he can pay off the mortgage. And, in markets like see next page

Frates Summer Arts celebrates 38 years of creativity with programs for kids and teens July 11 — 15 LACONIA — Celebrating 38 years of creativity, the Frates Summer Arts Program will once again offer art classes for children and teens July 11 — 15.

Participants will experience a wide range of media techniques each day of the workshop. Painting, drawing, printmaking, 2-D design, and sculpture media will challenge as well as motivate each artist to have fun as they create. Over the years, these one-week sessions have helped beginner and intermediate students to realize that everyone has a creative spark.

You just have to let it out.

Instructor Larry Frates is an experienced art educator who continues to inspire Lakes Region art students to find their own special style and

creativity after 40 years of teaching.

Known as the “fun facilitator for the arts,” Frates recently organized the Downtown Shoe Walk where community members were asked to be creative with random shoes. More than 40 adults, teens, and children participated in this “Fun” Raiser.

This same positive atmosphere will be the key to the Summer Arts Program, which will culminate with an exhibition of works scheduled for the end of summer, when the entire community will be invited to see the artwork created during the workshops.

A few spaces remain open to children ages 4 — 6, 7 — 9, 10 — 12, and teens. Call 528-7651 for more information or visit www.fratescreates. com.

MEREDITH — The Moulton Farm, in conjunction with UNH Cooperative Extension, will host a Vegetable & Berry Twilight Meeting from 5 — 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12.

Growers and individuals are invited to the farm to learn about specific fruit and vegetable production techniques, as well as marketing techniques in selling produce in a retail market. UNH Cooperative Extension specialists will be on hand to provide additional information.

Topics of particular interest will include a point of sales system and

produce displays in a farm store, a commercial kitchen housing a bakery, a plasticulture system for strawberry production, use of floating row covers in growing a variety of crops, a display of planting and cultivation equipment, as well as a demonstration of a new high clearance boom sprayer.

Refreshments will be provided by Belknap County Farm Bureau. For more information, call Kelly McAdam, agriculture educator for UNH Cooperative Extension, Belknap County at 527-5475 or e-mail kelly.mcadam@ unh.edu.

from preceding page this, it is can sometimes also be difficult for an agent to get the “right number” on a property as there are so few properties selling to get good comparables.

Price adjustments may be necessary.

Real estate is far from an exact science.

But let’s say, for example, that a residential home has been on the market for five and a half months. It is listed a little higher than it really should be, but that’s where the seller says he needs to be. The seller authorized one decent sized price reduction after two months of little activity. The listing agent has marketed the property as promised.

They’ve had sporadic showings with mostly good feedback on the property, but no offers. The agent has kept the seller informed about the state of the market and what has been done to try and sell the home. The agent suggests another price drop to create some activity and extending the listing for another term. The seller, while acknowledging the bad market, does not seem inclined to reduce his home further. That is, until he lists with another agency.

Anyone who has been a REALTOR® for a while has had this happen to them — probably multiple times. It is a well known axiom in our profession, that most agents would rather

be the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th agent that lists a property because the price will be closer to where it should be.

It’s frustrating to agents that lose a listing because they feel they have worked their butt off and will never get compensated for that work. It’s exciting for the new agent as he has a better priced product to sell. I’ve been on both sides of the equation. My suggestion (to any sellers that might be reading this) is to really consider how much your agent has worked to sell your property and that, well, maybe it really is the price that’s the problem and not the marketing or the agent.

If you are going to relist with another agency and keep the price the same that’s one thing. But if you are going to drop the price, consider keeping the listing with your current agent if he or she has done a good job for you. That’s good real estate Karma.

B.C.

by Dickenson & Clark

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Accept help judiciously. The help of one person will make life easier; whereas, the “help” of another person will overcomplicate things and make life harder than it was to begin with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You thank people and give them credit and recognition for their efforts. Your appreciation means more to them than money. Your involvement in the lives of others will make a difference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your might and would be wise to consider very carefully whether this chance should be seized. Who will benefit most from your display? If it’s you, then the act is not advisable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Someone makes a positive association involving you. This is no accidental happening, since you make an effort to surround yourself with beauty and pleasantness just so these types of associations can be made.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone will attempt a gesture of kindness toward you. But this person may not understand or know you well enough to be able to accurately predict what will make you smile.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 9). You’ll accept a high honor this year. The next six weeks will smile on your love life.

Your leadership will be key to a victory for your group in August. September is for restructuring your life to align with long-term goals. There’s a family reunion in October. Health and financial progress happens in December. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 24, 10, 5, 44 and 18.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Do not confuse “pride” with “self-esteem.”

They are more opposite than alike.

Pride is the puffed-up version of low self-esteem. When you’re sure of yourself, you have nothing to prove.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be working on a project that’s bigger than you can accomplish alone in your current timeframe. You’ll solicit cooperation from those around you, and everyone wins.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may not know what to make of today’s findings, and it will be very interesting to call in an expert. Your knowledge will grow along with the excitement around this discovery.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a diverse group of minds around you.

Opinions will be flying, and very few of them will resemble any of your own ideas. That’s what will make the conversation so interesting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your personal touch will boost the morale of the people around you. You have a way of making people feel as though what they do matters to you -- maybe because it really does.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A job may be easy for you in theory, but a million unpredictable elements could take it in any number of directions. So be careful not to claim too much or to over-promise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being at the top comes at a price. There is always the possibility (and actually, it’s an inevitability) that someone will come along to replace the one in the top position. Recognize that change is a constant, and do your best.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 9, 1951, President Harry S. Truman asked Congress to formally end the state of war between the United States and Germany. (An official end to the state of war was declared in Oct. 1951.)

On this date: In 1540, England’s King Henry VIII had his 6-month-old marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, annulled.

In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington’s troops in New York.

In 1816, Argentina declared independence from Spain.

In 1896, William Jennings Bryan delivered his famous “cross of gold” speech at the Democratic national convention in Chicago.

In 1918, 101 people were killed in a train collision in Nashville, Tenn. The Distinguished Service Cross was established by an Act of Congress.

In 1947, the engagement of Britain’s Princess Elizabeth to Lt. Philip Mountbatten was announced.

In 1982, a Pan Am Boeing 727 crashed in Kenner, La., killing all 145 people aboard and eight people on the ground.

In 1986, the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography released the final draft of its report, which linked hard-core porn to sex crimes.

One year ago: The largest U.S.-Russia spy swap since the Cold War took place on a remote stretch of Vienna airport tarmac as planes from New York and Moscow arrived within minutes of each other with 10 Russian sleeper agents and four prisoners accused

by Russia of spying for the West.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, July 9, 2011— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for 20 years, and we have two children in their teens. Over the years, my husband has purchased rental property that will hopefully turn out to be a good investment. Along with maintaining those properties and his full-time job, he also participates in sports and plays in a band. This leaves me home with the kids four nights a week and sometimes weekends.

I also work full time and come home to laundry, supper and whatever needs to be done around the house and with the kids. By the time I’m done, it’s 9:30 and my husband is still not home. It gets really lonely here. I tried having my own after-hours activities, but when I’d return, there would still be dishes to wash, laundry to do and things to pick up. It was exhausting.

I feel like a single mother. It’s not as if his activities involve the kids. He spends little time with them. If I say anything or try to derail his plans with some family time, I am the bad guy, especially if he believes I’m only doing it to force him to spend time with his children. It’s frustrating, and I’m not sure how to rectify the situation. He’s a great, hardworking guy, but the kids are going to be grown and gone by the time he realizes what he’s missed. -- Just Want Some Family Time Dear Family Time: While your husband should certainly be spending more time with his family, you cannot force him to appreciate what he has at home. He’s too busy running away from it. Instead, concentrate on yourself. Your children are old enough to help with cooking, cleaning and laundry, and these are skills they should learn. Pick an evening to do something you enjoy, and tell your kids they are responsible for the household chores that night. Hire a sitter if you feel they are not old enough to stay home alone. And if the house isn’t perfect, so what? You have been carrying a big load for a long time. You deserve to decompress, too.

Dear Annie: My son fell out of my life several years ago. I do not know why, nor do I know where he is. We used to talk every couple of weeks for years, but then I didn’t hear from him, and his phone was disconnected. When my mail was returned unopened, I was so worried that I had the police there check on him.

I then got a call from my son letting me know that when he had something to say to me, he would phone. The next year, I received a Mother’s Day card saying he loved me and wished me the best. That was several years ago, and I have not heard from him since. He was a wonderful son until he vanished from my life.

I have since remarried, but I refuse to move because this is the only place my son knows to contact me. I am now 65 and have resigned myself to never seeing him again. Please, if you are estranged from your parents, check in occasionally. You do not have to divulge your whereabouts. Just a postcard to say you are OK would be enough. I will love my son forever.

I hope he knows that. -- A Lonely Mom Dear Mom: Your letter broke our hearts. We hope your son will contact you soon. And for all other distant and estranged children out there -- please send word that you are OK. Your parents love you and worry about you.

Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “Dismayed in the Boston Area,” whose daughter has been subjected to anti-Semitic remarks at the company where she works. Please tell this young woman to contact the Simon Wiesenthal Center/Museum of Tolerance. We have a diversitytraining program as part of our “Tools for Tolerance” and can offer her some advice. -- A. Fox Dear A. Fox: Thank you for your assistance and suggestions.

Silent Film Series continues at Flying Monkey with ‘Tol’able David’ and ‘Hell’s Hinges’ July 14 PLYMOUTH — The Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center will continue its Silent Film Series with “Tol’able David” and “Hell’s Hinges,” to be screened beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 14.

Great films that caused audiences to first fall in love with the movies return to the newly restored venue, which honors its moviehouse roots with monthly screenings of timeless silent films on the big screen, complete with live music.

“We felt running silent films was important to give audiences a chance to experience these great pictures as they were intended to be seen: on the big screen, in good-looking restored prints, accompanied by live music and with an audience,” said Flying Monkey manager Brooks Bartlett. “There’s really nothing like it. Audience reaction has been extremely positive.”

Live music for all screenings is provided by New Hampshire composer and film accompanist Jeff Rapsis, who specializes in improvising film scores in real time while each screening is in progress.

“Silent films were never meant to be silent, but were always shown with music,” said Rapsis, who accompanies silent film screenings all over New England.

“Creating a score on the spot as a film is being shown produces a special kind of energy and excitement that I think helps bring these films to life for today’s audiences.” Rapsis performs on a digital synthesizer that recreates the texture of a full orchestra, producing a familiar “movie score” sound for each screening. see next page

‘Caring for Outdoor Tomatoes’ topic of Madame Alexander dolls may mean dollars for Winni Playhouse campaign Belknap County Meeting July 18

LACONIA — Four Corners Brick House in Gilmanton has added its support to the Winnipesaukee Playhouse by displaying and offering for sale hundreds of Madame Alexander dolls that were donated to the theatre’s Capital Campaign.

The dolls may be purchased in groups of collectables or singly, with all profits going to the theatre campus underway on the former Annalee Doll Factory site in Meredith.

The dolls formerly made their home with an avid collector in Alton. They come in series, including groups of American first ladies, major historic figures, literary characters, foreign costumed dolls, and beloved nursery characters.

When their collector, a fan of the Winni Playhouse, moved to smaller quarters, she donated the collection to the Playhouse, to be sold with all profits returned to the Capital Campaign.

The Four Corners Brick House owners saw the dolls as objects of interest to their clients who value quality antiques, furnishings, and other consignments. They, too, decided to enrich the coffers of the Playhouse Capital Cam-

paign by promising that the total sale price for every doll will be turned over to the campaign.

The amount will then be doubled by a generous million dollar matching donor.

Madame Alexander dolls are part of the rich fabric of collectable dolls manufactured in the United States beginning one hundred years ago.

A full circle of Playhouse supporters contribute to this capital campaign project — the original collector; the Brick House, with foresight in displaying the dolls; and the vision of the matching dollars donors.

All donations received by the end of December 2011 are eligible to be matched, opening the door for making the Madame Alexander doll collection a dollar asset to the theatre as well as a joyous addition to collectors and doll lovers.

For more information about the dolls, visit Four Corners Brick House in person or online at www.

The stores displayed the product with signs highlighting that a portion of the sales were being donated to the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region.
