THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — In what has to be one of the quickest criminal cases processed in Belknap County in a long time, a Massachusetts woman who lied to police about an alleged stabbing in Belmont Monday night was given a six months suspended sentence after pleading guilty yesterday in circuit court.

Police affidavits obtained from the N.H. 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said Meagan McCusker, 20, of 224 Middle Road in Haverhill, Mass. was walking with a male companion along Concord Street Monday night when her male companion got upset and punched a window at 110 Concord St. When the first officer arrived at 124 Concord St. #8 affidavits said the man with the cut “was covered in blood and had a large laceration on his arm.”

The man with the wound told police he and McCusker were walking when he was cut by an unknown man who had asked see LIE page 8

LACONIA — The suggestion by Representative Bob Greemore (R-Meredith) that the county consider purchasing former Laconia State School property as the site of a new correctional facility did not sit well with the Belknap County Commissioners when they met yesterday and chairman Ed Philpot of Laconia found it “insulting, irritating to have people, Greemore or anyone else, who don’t ask questions or pay attention making irresponsible proposals.”

In 2011, the Legislature directed the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to offer the property to the city for $10-million.

After the state appraised the property, the city declined its $10-million offer and countered with the appraised value of $2.16-million. The Legislature had not authorized a sale to Laconia at that level but did say the county could purchase it at “fair market value” if the city said no. So, the state offered the site to the county for $1.76-million, discounting the value of three see STATE SCHOOL page 8

N.Y. couple set to remarry, 45 years after their divorce

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — They got hitched while still in their teens, divorced 20 years and four children later, and are getting remarried after nearly a halfcentury apart.

For Lena Henderson and Roland Davis, both 85 years old, the second time around is finally here. The couple plans to get married again on Saturday, with four generations on hand to see it happen.

“It’s every child’s dream, every child who has ever been in a family where divorce has occurred, that your parents would come back together,” their youngest daughter, Renita Chadwick, said Tuesday as wedding preparations were in full swing.

“We are all so ridiculously excited. We’re like little children again,” said Chadwick, herself a grandmother.

Henderson and Davis met as teenagers in Chattanooga, Tenn., and were married by a justice of the peace.

There was no reception or honeymoon.

“Oh no,” Henderson recalled with a laugh.

“He went to work and I went home.” Davis was see DIVORCE page 10

Electricity grids fail across half of India; 620M in dark NEW DELHI (AP) — Electric crematoria were snuffed out with bodies inside, New Delhi’s Metro shut down and hundreds of coal miners were trapped underground after three Indian electric grids collapsed in a cascade Tuesday, cutting power to 620 million people in the world’s biggest blackout.

While Indians were furious and embarrassed, many took the crisis in stride, inured by the constant — though far less widespread — outages triggered by the huge electricity deficit stymieing the development of this would-be Asian power.

Hospitals, factories and the airports

switched automatically to their diesel generators during the hours-long cut across half of India. Many homes relied on backup systems powered by truck batteries. And hundreds of millions of India’s poorest had no electricity to lose.

“The blackout might have been huge, but it wasn’t unbearably long,” said Satish, the owner of a coffee and juice shop in central Delhi who uses only one name. “It was just as bad as any other five-hour power cut.

We just used a generator while the light was out, and it was work as usual.”

The crisis was the second record-breaking outage in two days. India’s northern

grid failed Monday, leaving 370 million people powerless for much of the day, in a collapse blamed on states that drew more than their allotment of power.

At 1:05 p.m. Tuesday, the northern grid collapsed again, energy officials said. This time, it took the eastern grid and the northeastern grid with it. In all, 20 of India’s 28 states — with double the population of the United States — were hit in a region stretching from the border with Myanmar in the northeast to the Pakistani border about 3,000 kilometers (1,870 miles) away.

SALEM, N.H. (AP) — An apparent murder-suicide at a New Hampshire home has left one man and two women dead.

The state attorney general’s office said Tuesday all three people died of gunshot wounds at the Salem home.

The identities of the victims haven’t been

released. Autopsies are being scheduled.

Police went to the home on Tuesday afternoon after an emergency call. They closed nearby roads while investigating.

The investigation into the three deaths is ongoing. But Attorney General Michael A. Delaney says based on the evidence

uncovered so far there’s no reason to believe there’s any danger to the public.

Nearby residents say they’re shocked and saddened by what happened in their quiet neighborhood on the Massachusetts border.

They say they’re relieved authorities don’t believe there’s any danger to them.

Romney to allow Israel to lead us into another war?

Has Mitt Romney given Israel a blank check for war?

So it seemed from the declaration in Jerusalem by his adviser Dan Senor, who all but flashed Israel a green light for war, signaling the Israelis that, if you go, Mitt’s got your back: “If Israel has to take action on its own in order to stop Iran from developing that capability, the governor would respect that decision.

No option would be excluded. Gov. Romney recognizes Israel’s right to defend itself and that it is right for America to stand with it.”

What does “stand with” Israel, if she launches a surprise attack on Iran, mean? Does it mean the United States will guide Israeli planes to their targets and provide bases on their return? Does it mean U.S. air cover while Israeli planes strike Iran? This would make America complicit in a pre-emptive strike and a co-belligerent in the war to follow.

What Senor said comes close to being a U.S. war guarantee for Israel, while leaving the decision as to when the war begins to them. This country has never done that before.

And what does Senor mean by Israel’s need to act “to stop Iran from developing (the) capability” to acquire nuclear weapons? The collective decision of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies in 2007 — that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon — reportedly reaffirmed in 2011 — has never been rescinded. Nor has the White House produced any hard evidence Iran is building a bomb. Moreover, Iran’s known nuclear facilities are under inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Does the government know something the American people are not being told?

Undeniably, Iran, by enriching uranium to 3.5-percent, then up to 20-percent, has a greater “capability” than five years ago of building a nuclear weapon. But Japan, South Korea and Brazil also have that capability — and none has decided to build a nuclear weapon.

Gov. Romney did not go as far as Senor, but he, too, seems to be saying that not only is Iran’s possession of a nuclear weapon a casus belli for the United States, even an Iran that is capable of building such a weapon is intolerable. “The regime in Iran is five years closer to developing nuclear weapons capability,” said Romney. “Preventing that outcome must be our highest national security priority.”

Preventing what outcome is “our highest national security priority”? Stopping Iran from building a bomb? Or stopping Iran from being able to build a bomb years from now?

The governor seems to be aligning himself with Israel’s hawks who are demanding that not only must Iran

swear off nuclear weapons forever, Iran must cease all enrichment of uranium, and dismantle the facilities at Natanz and Fordow.

Romney’s policy is zero enrichment, said Senor. Tehran must understand that “the alternative to zero enrichment is severe, and that’s why the threat of military force has to be critical.”

This is tantamount to an ultimatum to Tehran: Either give up all enrichment of uranium and any right to enrich, or face war.

Here we come to the heart of the issue, which may be impossible to resolve short of war.

Unlike its neighbors Israel and Pakistan, Iran has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has no nuclear weapons. The ayatollah has said they are immoral and Iran will not acquire them.

But under the NPT, Iran claims the right to enrich uranium and seek the benefits of nuclear technology. And in that decision, the people of Iran stand behind their government.

Is denying Iran the right to enrich uranium a reason for America to plunge into its fifth war in that region in a generation? That appears where we are headed. Reportedly, Obama’s national security adviser recently briefed Bibi Netanyahu on the specifics of U.S. contingency plans to attack Iran. Has Congress been briefed? Have the American people been consulted? Or are we simply irrelevant?

A decade ago, this country sent an army up to Baghdad to overthrow Saddam and strip Iraq of a vast arsenal of chemical and biological weapons we were told it had and was preparing to use.

We were misled; we were deceived; we were lied to. Before we outsource to Bibi and Ehud Barak the decision to take us to war with a country three times the size of Iraq, we need to know: Was the U.S. intelligence community wrong in 2007 and 2011? Is Iran hell-bent on building nuclear weapons? If so, where are they constructing and testing these weapons?

Finally, if Iran is willing to permit intrusive inspections of its actual and suspected nuclear sites, but insists on its right to enrich uranium, should we go to war to deny them that right?

But if we are going to go to war again, this time with Iran, the decision should be made in America, according to our Constitution, not by any other country.

LETTERS Goldstein is completely unqualified to comment on this matter To the editor, Regarding Hillarie Goldstein’s letter: Proverbs 18:2 says, “A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind.”

I won’t dignify Ms. Goldstein’s attacks with any sort of a substantive response. I will, however, address the logical failures of her argument. First, if DCYF is the “arm” of the state that ensures child safety, then it clearly appears that Goldstein is accusing DCYF of not doing its job. I believe that DCYF did their job and did it effectively in this instance.

Ms. Goldstein, someone whom I have never met, is completely unqualified to comment on any portion of this matter — her immutable right to free speech notwithstanding, regardless of how ignorant she may be of the facts.

Many on the left appear to be blind to a system that permits bitter, vindictive people to file false allegations for the purpose of exacting pecuniary benefits, all while holding the innocent child ransom. This is among the most heinous form of revenge and abuse. Even more heinous is a system that permits and even exacerbates the false allegations for the enrichment of those within the system, such as lawyers and guardians ad litem.

Most heinous of all is Goldstein attempting to utilize an innocent 8-year old boy in her attack dog party politics. Ms. Goldstein should be ashamed of herself for trying to use my child to advance her political agenda.

I tried to promote cognitive dissonance by taking unpopular positions To the editor, I wish to inform readers of my column that I have moved away from the area to be near my granddaughter and will not continue writing my columns. I not only thank all of those faithful readers who privately and publicly endorsed my views over the years but also those who vehemently disagreed with me but who expressed their opposition respectfully. I also hope that the namecallers who continue to write will be able to refrain from personal attacks in the future and develop sound arguments for their views. Such behavior has no place in a civil society.

My values and beliefs have developed over several decades and been the result of learning about those people who have made a positive dif-

ference in the world like Albert Schweitzer, Anderson Sa, Oscar Arias, Bruno Hassar, Riane Eisler, Jane Goodall, Henry Salt, Astrid Lindgren, Nader Khalili, Wangari Maathi and so many others who have sought truth, peace and justice in the world, sometimes at their own peril.

I have sought to promote cognitive dissonance but taking unpopular positions that question the status quo and I have been less interested in being right than I have in being honest.

I wish all my readers well and hope that you continue to pursue the truth at a time when it is difficult to come by. In the meantime, I shall enjoy my new anonymity.

It is all too common for mother to attack father after separation To the editor, Speaking from experience, Mrs. Goldstein’s version of the tale needs some correction. Where she uses the term “reportedly”, one should ask, “reported by whom?” A psychiatrist?

A medical doctor? A counselor of any kind? No. In this case, (as can be found with little effort and a lack of bias) it

was an allegation by the mother. It is all too common for the mother to attack the father after particularly bitter separations, and therefore people should take this allegation with a grain of salt.

LETTERS Democrats hide behind ‘values’ because they can’t deny facts

There’s reason we leave decision making to adults & not minors

To the editor, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make one drink, You can lead a donkey to logic but you can’t make one think”. It is all about Democrats blind arrogance to consider facts and apply logic to any problem. Tom Dawson illustrates my point perfectly as he tells readers about his “values”.

That’s code for I have been part of the donkey herd since dirt was invented.

Republicans could be running GOD. To the Tom Dawson’s of this world it would be irrelevant. By the way, God would be far too smart to run for president for fear his large bankroll would disqualify him and even though he may have created heaven and earth, DEMOCRATS would run 20 million dollars worth of attack ads saying “that is not evidence GOD knows how to produce JOBS”. Donkey dung logic at it’s finest!

Tom Dawson hides behind “values” because he does not have the COURAGE to talk about Obama’s ECONOMIC accomplishments. Why? Because Obama has no ECONOMIC accomplishments. Obama himself RUNS FROM HIS OWN RECORD, not toward it. Tom seems uncannily able to recall the tiniest Bush errors of 10 years ago while blind as bat to Obama’s Grand Canyon economic collapse happening right NOW. Public criticism of Obama’s TOTAL FAILURE ON JOBS and the ECONOMY are beyond Tom’s intellectual capacity to see it and SAY IT. Values and BS walk, facts TALK. Tom let me start you off with some FACTS as you seem totally oblivious to the obvious: 1. America NOW teeters on the cusp of RECESSION AGAIN. Why? Because of Obama’s REFUSAL to negotiate progress on key issues the way Clinton and Regan did. We have an imperial, idealist lunatic for president, unable to negotiate progress on even ONE economic challenge facing America.

2 70-percent of retailers missed their sales targets in June. Retail sales are DOWN three months in a row. The worst showing since 2009. If tax rates are allowed to rise in January and spending cut we will be in another full blown recession immediately. Obama refuses to extend lower rates to ALL, including the most likely job creators.

Who the hell thinks the bottom quintile of the economy is producing the jobs we DESPERATELY NEED. Tom Dawson does?

3 The official unemployment rate is 8.2-pecent. If you add the people so discouraged they dropped out of the labor market (roughly 8-million) the real rate is 12-percent. If you add those who are P/T but want full time

To the editor, RE: “Investigators assume if parents say they meant no harm, there wasn’t any” (Tuesday, July 31).

Hillarie Goldstein recently submitted a letter to the editor regarding Josh Youssef and the unfounded abuse investigation. Hillarie’s understanding of how our court system works is so fundamentally flawed that it’s difficult to address each problem with her argument. In order for abuse to be a factor in court, abuse must be found to have happened. The reason there’s a distinction is simple: Without this distinction, we would just lock up everybody no matter what — despite the absence of any evidence! Our country and our state is built on a very basic principle: Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat — or innocent until proven guilty.

DCYF interviews the child to determine when abuse has happened. It’s sickening that a peanut gallery with

the rate is 14.9-percent unemployed.

NO WONDER AMERICANS FEEL NO RECOVERY. THERE ISN’T ONE! 4. Half of the jobs created since Obama became president are PART TIME. Obama has NEVER MENTIONED IT. NO DEMOCRAT MENTIONS IT! Do you think TOM Dawson is going to level with you on this stuff?

When hell freezes over. Donkeys poop on facts but they love “values”.

5. Fewer Americans are WORKING TODAY than in 2000, while the population has grown by 31-million and the labor force by 11.4-million. All while Obama demonizes business, denigrates success in America and tries to regulate and rule every obstacle possible to slow hiring and business expansion. Tom Dawson says GREAT, I want to vote for more of that type of accomplishment!

6. Obama has IGNORED every suggestion of his own Bowles-Simpson deficit reduction committee. He has not attended a meeting of his own hand picked JOBS COUNCIL for more than six months. Still, he manages to attend over ONE HUNDRED OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT FUND RAISERS. We know where Obama’s priorities lie and it isn’t producing jobs or economic growth. Who suffers most from his lack of focus? The middle class.

7. The average America family’s NET WORTH has dropped 40-percent In the past five years, most of that during Obama’s presidency. TOM STILL LOVES that Democratic prosperity band wagon. These are depression like stats. Tom say, JOB WELL DONE BARACK! 8. The most recent Gallup Poll says 81-percent of Americans are dissatisfied with how they are NOW governed and 75-percent say America is on the WRONG track as a country. Who the hell is leading us in the wrong direction? Barack Obama. Still, Tom loves those Democratic values as we head off a financial cliff into Greek-like obscurity. You can lead a donkey to common sense and logic but you can not make them absorb it, even a doctor.

Tom, I am NOT attacking you personally in any way. I am attacking your political VIEWS because they are ECONOMIC POISON for America. You saw fit to share them in the public domain trying to influence public opinion. Your doctor credentials equal squat unless you’re a doctor of economics or political science. If you are, SAY SO. If you are not your views and “ values” carry no more weight or insight than anyone else writing to The Sun, including the dog catcher.

Being elected to a job on Capitol Hill is supposed to be an honor To the editor, As it mainly targets minorities and the elderly these new voter ID laws are clearly a journey into the past.

There are no instances of any voter fraud in New Hampshire lately so why do we need IDs? A representative, Mike Turzia (R) from Pennsylvania has already said that these new laws will give Romney a win in PA

that’s the reason and I really don’t know how we have lived without them for so many years. Those Republicans must be really upset because Obama won. Now they know how we felt after Bush was awarded the win in 2000.

WE got over it even as he was ruining the country and running up the debt. Now all the Republicans want to do is take the ball and go home see next page

zero knowledge of the events that transpired can claim to know better than investigators that actually interviewed the child and found no signs of abuse. According to Hillarie, children know when something’s “icky.”

If we left all determinations of what constitutes “icky” to our children’s discretion, wouldn’t they also declare broccoli “icky” and demand ice cream for dinner? There’s a reason we leave the decision making to the adults and not the minors, because they lack EXACTLY the context to determine what is good for them and what isn’t.

Luckily, we have parents who, by definition of law, are presumed to act in the best interest of the child. We also have services such as DCYF to protect the children and determine when real abuse is happening, not just alleged abuse being used as a strategic chess move in a heated court battle.

LETTERS Giving freely of one’s own choice is bad? Yes, he really said that

Fact is, the Democrats are every bit as fat cats as the Republicans

To the editor, I give you E. Scott Cracraft’s latest letter to the editor as the most perfect and prescient example of liberal magical thinking that would give any modern day progressive type a real thrill. Let’s put aside his less than veiled attempts at smearing Christians and conservatives for the moment. Let’s put aside his patented and patently false social justice refrain of tax the rich, that’s the fix. It’s never been the fix throughout the history of mankind, but Scott seems absolutely and positively convinced it will work this time. Throughout the presentation of his scholarly discourse, he used the words Christians, conservatives and corporations a combined 15 times.

This learned and wise academic who longs for a kinder, gentler and fairer nation, proceeded to aim his wordsmith AK47(Academic King, able to leap 47 cruel conservatives with a single bound) at non-progressives and commence firing away. Allow me to share a few with you, some paraphrased: we should be kinder to immigrants; refrain from executing evil monsters; force corporations to treat people more fairly; care more about children than parental rights; take care of the poor, hungry, homeless and less fortunate; show some compassion for the hungry and naked; and don’t allow the rich to “eat up the poor”.

As a Christian conservative, I’m just not feeling the love from this man. Of course, these are just biblical analogies cultivated from his fertile mind and searing liberal patronization. It’s not like he really believes those on the right are that callous and uncaring.

Does he?

The professor goes on to say that he just can’t understand how conservative Christians(CC) often think that individual charity is more moral than giving one’s money to the government so it can help the needy. Yes, he really said that. He then said that he wanted to know if it made CC’s feel morally superior to give that way. Yes, he really said that. Giving freely of one’s own choosing is bad. Being coerced to give to the cult of collectivism is good. Yes, he apparently really believes that.

Without actually saying it, Mr. Cracraft insinuated that only CC and Republican types are associated with

To the editor, Barring some sort of cataclysmic event, I’ll be voting for Mitt Romney this election and here’s why: our economy is in the worst state that I’ve seen in my 37 years of existence, and I believe that Romney will help right that ship. I’m willing to concede that Bush (and Clinton) both contributed to this state of current affairs, and I even voted for Obama because I, like many independents, was swept up by his wave of enthusiasm and change. However, here we are four years later, and things have only simmered or gotten worse. Obama backed his promises of change by throwing billions down the tubes, paying off the huge investment firms that got us here in the first place as well as playing the race/class card to the point where it has unraveled and set us against each other down to the very pages of this newspaper’s columns and letters.

It makes me sick to my stomach to see that the Democrats are still warping poor/middle class (of which I am a member) minds to have them believe that a vote for the Dem’s is a vote for the little guy/girl. That they are the saviors of the less fortunate. Fact is , the Dem’s are every bit as fat cats as the Republicans if not more so and being the “poster child” of the poor while having fifteen thousand dollara-head dinners in some posh Hollywood home for re-election campaign funds just makes me ill to my core.

The Democrats reap a dragon’s hoard of gold while making the poor think they really give a damn. They are 10 times the hypocrites of any Republican (like Al Gore flying around in his jets with his three mansions telling us to reduce our carbon footprint)!

Republicans aren’t much better, but at least they are more straightforward in their motives, and it seems as though they get more done without taking advantage of those who are desperate.

I have to say, I thoroughly enjoy

corporations. Yes, he really insinuated that. Go re-read his letter and let me know if you think he was inferring otherwise. Here is a quote from him that fairly synthesises the progressive mind: “What is more individually anonymous than paying taxes for social programs?” Yep, he really said that. Ignoring our current president’s troop expansion in Afghanistan and his new title as the “Drone King”, the professor made an obvious reference to the Republicans and the CC’s as the war mongers. He even came up with some wacky reference that appears to have come from someone named, Ashim Chatterjee of the Communist Revolutionary League of India (I am not making that up). The referenced phrase is “national chauvinism” and some loopy analogy to communal fascists in the guise of “patriotism”. And you know, I think he really believes that because conservatives don’t think having 46-million people on food stamps is a good idea, that equates to the CC’s not caring about the young, poor and needy. Judging by the letters of Dr. Thomas Dawson and Nancy Parsons, I believe they really think that way too.

I think David Harsanyi, a columnist for Human Events, sums up just how the progressive movement has used distractions to get the citizens of this country to move beyond the worry of whether or not we should have just a really big government or a bureaucratic behemoth that looks and acts like Tyrannosaurus Rex stomping on everyone’s freedoms and gobbling up everyone’s wealth in it’s path. He says, “The president’s central case rests on the idea that individuals should view government as society’s moral center, the engine of prosperity and the arbiter of fairness”. I say, that is a case of progressive “magical thinking”.

Of course, it is pure poppycock and apparently emanates from a growing number of graduating classes from the Semantic School for the Terminally Arrogant. I mean who else can believe such nonsense, attack those who disagree with them while feigning peaceful co-existence and do it all with a straight face and a clear conscience?

This baseless attack on Mr. Youssef needs to be condemned To the editor, I am writing in response to Ms. Goldstein’s letter, and I find it most unfortunate that the level of discourse in this state has been reduced to ad homonym political attacks made on good people with no evidence to prove their claims, let alone any attempt to provide evidence. I don’t know if Ms. Goldstein is working for someone, or of her own accord, but her baseless attack on the character of Mr.Youssef (And any attacks like this on any can-

didate) should be condemned not only because they lack a level of ethical responsibility, but also from a logical standpoint as they perpetuate the use of fallacy and petty argumentative tactics to dilute the political arena.

Shame on Ms. Goldstein and any else involved should be ashamed of themselves for resorting to such tactics.

the letters that are well-written and thought- provoking, whether written from the left (Vareeka) or the right (Wiles). It’s the letters written by the people who obviously have the wool pulled so far over their heads that they either don’t care to know the whole facts concerning social policies and agendas or they do not have the brain power to fully comprehend something that make me sad to see their letters over and over. Just two random examples: Tony Boutin, I enjoyed your letters at first, but the reoccurring theme of your ALL CAPS makes me feel like I’m being yelled at, now I skip your letters. Nancy Parsons, anytime I prepare to read your letters I get out my tall boots, because it gets deep fast. Your letters are the perfect examples of why I find myself voting more and more for Republicans. Woe is me, and it’s all your fault. I’m sure you’ve had some bad stuff happen to you in your life, most of us do. But if you have half a brain you should make decisions to better yourself or your situation rather than rely on finger pointing and blaming those who have more then you.

Though I digress, the main reason why I will vote Romney this year is because our economy is bad and for once I want a brilliant economist in office. It’s that simple. I do not understand our country’s obsession for voting lawyers into office while at the same time ridiculing lawyers for being bloodsuckers. Let us vote in a president who understands big business and free enterprise, not someone who will just take billions of our hard earned tax payer’s dollars again and throw it down a vacuum of shady back room deals and payoffs for Billionaires, all in the name of helping the little man. A vote for Romney is a vote to keep America from turning into Greece, because that’s where we are headed with these policies.

Time’s a wasting, we want to hear the candidates face-to-face To the editor, Correct: the senate races merit full debates between the parties’ candidates, not a stage shared with the other candidates for office. Jeanie Forrester should be in debate with Bob Lamb, several places throughout District 2: Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol, Campton, Center Harbor, Danbury, Dorchester, Ellsworth, Grafton, Groton, Haverhill, Hebron, Hill, Holderness, Meredith, New Hampton, Orange, Orford, Piermont, Plymouth, Rumney, Sanbornton, Tilton, Warren, Wentworth, and Wilmot.

I attended the candidates’ night in Meredith, 2010 election, and too easily the senate candidates might not give in-depth answers to audience questions. No time! A moderator from

League of Women’s voters fulfilled the duty of time-sharing, so the many candidates on stage each had some exposure. That’s fine, so long as the senate candidates have their full exposure at debates, other times. As I heard Rep. Seth Cohn (R), Canterbury, say at a recent court hearing for Occupy arrestees (Manchester’s Veterans’ Park had them overnight a few nights, so they were violating a curfew law), our New Hampshire’s senators (24) are “the most important people” in our Statehouse. He told us that lobbyists head for our senators, to curry favor for legislation. The 400 House members are less individually powerful (except for that notorious majority speaker).

Please, time is passing; we are now see next page

from preceding page while they try to wait out until after the elections. They have refused to do anything for the country going so far as to vote against their own bills. We do we have to pay them? If any of us refused to do the work we were hired for we would be fired immediately and

not be paid. Talk about a waste of taxpayer time and money. Being elected for these jobs should be an honor but when I see people like Michelle Bachmann on an intelligence committee I wonder if it really isn’t a joke.

LETTERS Our affluence deprives children of their own discoveries To the editor, The friendly face of summer greets us again and again in the colorful and lush display of ripening fruits and vegetables emanating from the life-giving soil. Memories flood back from my childhood when Europe lay in ruins after World War II and our survival depended upon the soil to sustain us as it has done since the dawning of time.

The cause of the European destruction was brought about primarily by the evil of one man who came to power by capturing the hearts and minds of a nation with promises and through his charismatic personality. His name “Adolf Hitler” should remain in the consciousness of all mankind as a warning for ever. And yet, when lives were shattered and hope seemed an empty word, there was born a revival of spirit in the minds of children who were still innocent and saw the world though trusting eyes.

My grandpa among many who would own or could lease a piece of land utilized all except a small portion for some annual or perennial flowers for the cultivation and growing of our survival food. This was hard labor as there were no modern conveniences and anything that the garden produced had to be preserved the oldfashioned way. I was grandpa’s little helper and a love and appreciation for the land was born in me and became a comfort to my spirit throughout my life time. I don’t remember ever hearing of anyone in my family succumbing to alcohol or drugs. They were too busy providing for themselves and their family and enjoyed the satisfaction such endeavors supply.

As children we also learned some

very practical things during this time of abject poverty.

I remember a cold winter day when my feet were just frozen in those wooden shoes for lack of warming socks. My mother gave me an old sweater to unravel and showed me how to knit myself a pair of socks.

Since the sweater had many holes, the yarn I retrieved had to be knotted in many places, but after some trial and errors I would proudly wear the newly created pair of socks.

There are many stories that could be told from that time period and I am sure there was much suffering among the people of the European nations, but there is always hope in the very young as they learn survival and satisfaction from their individual achievements. We have all heard the complaints of today’s children that there is nothing to do and demand to be entertained at all times with whatever parents are able to provide. These children are not to blame for their dissatisfaction. The affluence enjoyed by all of us in this country regardless of the perception of being “needy” or “poor” deprives these children of their own discoveries when much “stuff” is heaped upon them that limits their own creativity. Unfortunately the feeling of satisfaction, fulfillments, praise and approval of their elders is thus denied them. As children, because of the times we rarely had any storebought toys; mom made us rag dolls and what our parents could not provide for us, we found untold things to do in the freedom of the imagination of the mind.

Karin Valade Laconia

Medicare & Social Security are not taxes, they are pre-payments To the editor, I read with interest Nancy Parson’s letter in Saturday’s Laconia Sun. It seemed to be mostly concerned with the widely-touted 1-percent (Nancy apparently believes them to be Republicans all) will run the country at the expense of the 99-percent.

Nancy’s a good student of sound bites; however, her math needs some attention, I think. One percent represents one person out of 100; it would be hard for one person to run anything if even two of the other 99 voted against.

Nancy is upset about the “payroll tax increase” which may take effect in 2013 if nothing changes. It is a pet peeve of mine that Social Security withholding is continually referred to as a “payroll tax”. It is not a tax and it never was. It is an enforced saving plan, and a lousy one thanks to Congress’ meddling and mìshandling, intended to provide part of an indivìdual’s retirement income. Assuming you live to 65 or 66, Nancy, you from preceding page fewer than 100 days from voting in November. Forrester and Lamb will be competing in District 2. Let’s get those debates scheduled and with appropriate venues and get the word out so people can mark their calendars.

Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton

will get this money back and then some. Whether you pay in 4.2-percent or 6.2-percent, the reduction was intended to be for one year only — the employer continues to pay an additional 6.2-percent into the worker’s Social Security account.

Medicare also represents not a tax but a prepayment to help with medical bills after retirement. So please do not refer to either of these payroll deductions as taxes — they are not.

Nancy, no one likes the hate and distrust present in our society. I don’t believe that this can be blamed on Democrats or Republicans — or on any specific group for that matter. I don’t know how to cure it except to try to treat people as I would want to be treated.

Be happy, Nancy, to drive you to a polling place come November if you have a problem getting there yourself.

I hope that in the meantime you will take the time to look more deeply into the issues presently facing this country. Were you to do so, you might be less frightened than you claim to be presently.

LIE from page one for money. The wounded man told police his assailant fled into the woods.

McCusker initially told Belmont Police the same story, but later told the responding officer that she lied to him because she didn’t want to get her companion in trouble.

She told police that the two were at the “abandoned” house on 110 Concord St. when he got upset and punched the window. Police said the house is town-owned and surrounded by yellow “caution” tape.

The arresting officer noticed that

McCusker appeared to be slurring her words and that she smelled of alcohol.

When asked, she admitted to drinking that night and submitted to a voluntary blood test that showed her blood alcohol level was .107.

McCusker was charged with criminal mischief, filing a false report to police and unlawful possession of alcohol.

Affidavits also noted that McCusker is wanted on a non-extraditable warrant from Massachusetts for receiving stolen property.

Unable to raise the $500 cash bail, she was held overnight at Belknap

County House of Corrections and during the bail process she told the bail commissioner that she was “not coming back to New Hampshire.”

After her arraignment in circuit court yesterday morning, McCusker obtained legal representation from the Laconia Public Defender’s Office and agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a suspended sentence in the afternoon.

She was fined $300 plus $72 in court costs for the unlawful possession of alcohol. Credited with two days in jail — or $100, she has two months to pay the balance.

On the filing a false report to police she was sentenced to six months in the Belknap County House of Corrections, all of it suspended pending two years of good behavior.

Judge Jim Carroll placed the count of criminal trespass “on file” for two years meaning if she behaves for two years the charge will not be prosecuted. Should she not behave, the state of New Hampshire reserves the right to revisit the criminal trespass charge along with any new infractions, should there be any.

Police continue to investigate.

STATE SCHOOL from page one parcels leased to Laconia. The county has until August 15 to accept the offer, after which it will be placed on the open market and Laconia would be make another offer.

At its regular meeting last week the commission tabled the offer pending a conversation with City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who has led the city’s effort to acquire the property and he attended the meeting yesterday. Philpot explained that ownership of the site would represent “a great benefit to the city” and, before acting on the state’s offer, the commission decided to ask “if somehow can we, the city and the county, work together to make this happen.”

Meanwhile, Greemore questioned the lack of interest in acquiring the property on the part of the commission and ventured that the property could be purchased and a correctional facility located in the buildings that most recently hosted the Lakes Region (Prison) Facility for a fraction of the cost of building a new jail. He arranged for the county House delegation to tour the site today and tomorrow.

“Greemore never discussed corrections policy with us,” said Philpot, “and two problems climb right out of the ground.” First, he said that the residents of Laconia remain “passionately opposed” to siting a prison on the property. “It would be insensitive for

the county to step in and reopen that discussion,” he remarked. Second, he explained that the site provided “no real advantage” to the county, noting that the buildings were not suited for a secure correctional facility.

Moreover, Philpot said that the commission has weighed the costs securing, maintaining and insuring the property as well as addressing the environmental issues on the site and concluded that assuming the expense and the risk would not be in the best interests of the county. “These are all things we’ve thought about,” he said.

Philpot was echoed by his fellow commissioners. Commissioner Steve Nedeau of Meredith said that the purchase price “doesn’t even open your eyes, adding that the costs and responsibilities would be significant.”

Commissioner John Thomas said in his experience the cost of addressing environmental conditions always escalated. “I don’t want the county taxpayers paying for this,” he declared.

Both Nedeau and Thomas repeated that the city does not want a jail on the site and Thomas said that a correctional facility would be incompatible with other uses of the property.

Philpot explained that the commission was seeking some assurance that if the county passed on the state’s offer and the site went to the open market, the city would have a reasonable see next page

from preceding page chance of buying it. In other words, he said that before acting on the state’s offer he wanted to be sure that there was nothing the county could do to reduce whatever risks remained to the city acquiring the property.

When the commissioners asked Lahey to explain why the city was confident of ultimately acquiring the site, he answered “because of what we’ve learned in the last three years.”

Recalling that after the closure of the state prison in 2009, he chaired a commission on the future of the property, which quickly determined that no state department or agency had any use for the site. In particular, Philpot said that Bill Wrenn, commissioner of the Department of Corrections, told the commission that the property would never again be used for a correctional facility. Lahey pointed out that Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, deemed the site “nothing more than an expense” to the state.

Furthermore, Lahey explained that neither the state, as the polluter, nor

a private party would qualify for federal funding to clean up the property while the city would be eligible for assistance from the United Environmental Protection Agency, with which city officials have developed a working relationship.

Finally, Lahey doubted that the site would attract a private purchaser.

He quoted Steve Duprey, a Concord developer, who said at a public meeting that no developer would acquire a property with so much downside risk, especially in such a sluggish real estate market.

When Lahey finished, Philpot said “I would love to see the city buy that property” and Thomas said that “we should make every effort to see that the city gets the property.”

Although Philpot said that the commission will decide on the state’s offer at its regularly scheduled meeting next week, he emphasized that “we have always been deferential to the ongoing efforts of the city” and said that if the county formally declines the offer, it will “fully support the city’s effort to acquire the property.”

that we’re getting pressed to get done soon,’’ says Deshaies.

He says that the company is pretty busy and does a lot of smokestacks and water tanks but has lost out on many jobs due to the use of 100-foot high lifts by many others in the steeplejack business.

Adrignola says that the Busiel Mill once housed the J. W. Busiel Company, a hosiery manufacturer, which was the largest industry of its kind in Laconia at the turn of the 20th century. The company was founded in 1846 by John W. Busiel, one of the pioneers in the hosiery industry, who was he first mayor of Laconia in the 1890s and later a governor of New Hampshire.

The original Busiel Mill was built in 1853, after a fire destroyed several mill buildings along the Winnipesaukee River, including the wooden structure which had housed the Busiel operations.

The new mill was built in two sections, a five story section which was built first and located next to the Avery Dam and was followed in 1870 by a four story building keeping the same architectural design as the original part. The old stairs were removed from the original building and access to the different floors was gained by see next page

housed a bell, was leaking and also needed some restoration work done.

He said the steeple was last repainted and re-shingled in 1989.

Adrignola said the Maine firm was chosen for the job because of their ability to do the work the old-fashioned way, with staging and ladders, instead of having a giant 100-foot high crane brought into the small working area around the mill, which is close to both the Laconia City Hall and the historic Belknap Mill.

Jody Deshaies of Limerick Steeplejacks has been a steeplejack for 25 years and says that heights aren’t a problem for him. ‘’When I’m 100 feet up there and working from staging the height doesn’t bother me at all. I’m just thinking about what I’m doing and not really looking down very much,’’ says Deshaies.

He and fellow workers Scott Thompson, Dwayne Day and Waldeck Gill may have an extended stay in Laconia as their next project will be the First Baptist Church on Court Street. Last summer they repaired and repainted the steeple of the Evangelical Baptist Church in Veterans Square. ‘’We’d like to do it next because we’re all ready here in the city.

INDIA from page 2 country and traffic lights went out, causing widespread jams in New Delhi. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked office workers to go home and rushed generators to coal mines to rescue trapped miners.

Sahiba Narang, 17, was taking the Metro home because school bus drivers were on strike, “but this power failure’s messed up everything.”

S.K. Jain said he was on his way to file his income tax return when the Metro closed. The 54-year-old held his head, distraught that he would almost certainly miss the deadline. Hours later, the government announced it was giving taxpayers an extra month to file because of the chaos.

By evening, power had been restored to New Delhi and the remote northeast, and much of the northern and eastern grids were back on line. Electricity officials said the system would not be back to 100 percent until Wednesday.

Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said the new crisis had the same root as Monday’s collapse.

“Everyone overdraws from the grid. Just this morning I held a meeting with power officials from the states and I gave directions that states that overdraw should be punished. We have given instructions that their power supply could be cut,” he said.

But others were skeptical of Shinde’s explanation, saying that if overdrawing power from the grid caused this kind of collapse, it would happen all the time.

“I just can’t believe that there is no system in place to check whether the states are drawing more than their limit or not,” said Samiran Chakraborty, head of research at Standard Chartered, a financial services company. “There has to be a much more technical answer to that question.”

At a contentious news conference, R.N. Nayak, chairman of Power Grid Corp., which runs the nation’s power system, said his staff was searching for the cause of the problem and pleaded for patience.

“We have been running this grid for decades. ...

Please trust us,” he said.

Blanchette was also ordered to pay the town of Sanbornton $2,369.78 through the court plus a 17-percent administrative fee. Because the value of the stolen goods was greater than $1,500 he was charged with a felony.

The state and Blanchette agreed to the guilty plea of one count of misdemeanor credit card fraud.

A Belknap County grand jury indicted Blanchette on May 31, 2012 for unlawfully using the credit card to purchase items for his own benefit sometime between March 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012 at an Irving station in Tilton.

According to a lieutenant with the Sanbornton Fire Department, Blanchette is no longer employed there.

Franklin Fire Chief Kevin LaChapelle said Blanchette worked in his department after working full-time for the Gilford Fire Department. LaChapelle said he worked for Franklin for a few months before giving his resignation.

60s vintage Amphicar makes waves at boat show

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Bob Kidder of Franklin says people are always amazed when they see his Amphicar for the first time and how easily its make the transition from water to land. ‘’It always draws a crowd,’’ said Kidder, who brought the unique amphibious vehicle to Meredith Saturday for the 39th annual Antique and Classic Boat Show.

Kidder has had the Amphicar for about 20 years and keeps it at his home on Webster Lake, where he frequently takes it out on the lake and is a regular participant in the lake’s annual 4th of July boat parade. ‘’I used to have a place on Lake Winnipesaukee back when they ran Duck Boat tours out of Silver Sands and I’d take it out and lake when the boat came by. It got to the point where they put me on the tour would come by and the driver would use his megaphone and ask ‘does the little duck want to come out and play today?’ ‘’ says Kidder, He said that one of the many unusual features of the Amphicar is its’ boat horn, which also vents the gas tank. Unfortunately a cable which operates the horn was inoperable Saturday but Kidder had brought along a hand-held air horn, ‘’just to make sure I’m legal,’’ said Kidder, noting that the vehicle, which is registered as both a boat and a car, has to comply with all of the requirements of both catego-

ries in order to pass inspections.

In addition to its for and aft license plates, the Amphicar also has bow markers with its boat registration numbers.

He said that as he makes the transition from land to sea he pulls a lever which engages the two rear propellors, which are located beneath the rear bumper, and that he can make about seven miles per hour as a boat, compared to a top speed of about 70 miles per hour on the highway.

Kidder said that since the Amphicar has no rudder it is steered by the drivers wheel, just as it is on land, making it less maneuverable than the average boat.

Only 4,000 Amphicars were built from 1961 to 1965 by a German manufacturer who targeted the U.S. market and 700 of them survive more than 40 years later, a testament to their sturdy construction and are popular with novelty car collectors.

Kidder, who bought his Amphicar in Florida, said that he passed on a chance to buy a second one, which was in poor condition, for $12,000, but now wishes he had bought it.

In 1968 two Amphicars crossed the English Channel enduring 20-foot waves and gale-force winds according to a Wikipedia history of the vehicle, which also notes that President Lyndon B. Johnson owned one and liked to scare visitors to his ranch by driving them downhill in his Amphicar directly into his property’s lake, all the while shouting that the brakes have broken.

When the knitting industry declined, the Busiel Mill became the sight of other enterprises, including Kinsman Organs and the Gilbert Clock company.

In 1971 One Mill Plaza, Inc. bought the building and converted it for office use. The adaptation won an award from the American Institute of Architects.

According to historian Bryant Tolles, this mill is “one of the most striking and best designed small Victorian mill complexes in New Hampshire.’’

In 2004, a major restoration project was undertaken to restore many features which had been hidden. The entire exterior also receiving a major cleaning and refurbishment and today has been wired for broadband communications, bringing it into the modern era of instant communication.

Still no honeymoon trip, though.

“I’m just happy that we’re here,” said Davis, who recently moved to suburban Buffalo from Colorado, where he was living alone following the death of his second wife in January. Henderson also was widowed after re-marrying.

Davis proposed to Henderson over the phone around Easter and she accepted, even though they hadn’t seen each other since a family funeral in 1996. Before that, the two hadn’t been face-to-face since splitting up in 1964, though they had stayed

in touch and kept up with each other’s lives through the children.

Their oldest daughter, Johnnie Mae Funderbirk, had been urging her father to return to New York since his wife’s death.

Davis was receptive, especially to the idea of reconnecting with Henderson.

“I had always kind of had that in mind, mostly because of the children,” he said. “You never forget someone that you cared for at one time or another.”

Henderson and Davis both said it was “nice” to see one another again, this time as an engaged couple.

The children are less reserved.

“I’m as excited as some 9-year-old whose parents are getting back together,” Funderbirk said, “and I’m 65 years old.”

Gilmanton Land Trust determined to protect four of town’s ‘greatest views, for everyone, forever’

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILMANTON — Once the second largest town in the state, Gilmanton has long prized its spacious vistas. In 1845, Daniel Lancaster opened his “History of Gilmanton” by remarking “how different the view now enjoyed by the privileged man who gains the summit of Mount Major.” The change in the landscape from the wilderness to the pastoral, he wrote, “might seem more like enchantment than reality, did not the experience of every day verify the present aspect of the scenery, and show what Gilmanton is, contrasted with what Gilmanton was.”

And in large measure what Gilmanton still is.

With a project entitled “Gilmanton’s Greatest Views for Everyone, Forever,” the Gilmanton Land Trust, in partnership with the Five Rivers Conservation Trust, has undertaken to preserve significant portions of the town’s rural landscape.

The four properties include 15 acres at Frisky Hill, the foreground of a view of the Belknap Mountains reaching into Maine; 21 acres, divided among three fields, overlooking and fronting on Loon Pond; 41 acres of farmland at Meetinghouse Pond with 1,000 feet of frontage on the town’s largest undeveloped pond; and 9 acres at the junction of Loon Pond Road and Griffin Road featuring a family cemetery dating to the early 1800s.

John Dickey. a veteran of both the Land Trust

and Historical Society, said that the project began about 18 months ago when “For Sale” signs cropped up on the expansive northern slope of Frisky Hill as well as three other parcels, altogether totaling 86 acres, owned by George Twigg III. Much earlier all the properties had been subdivided into house lots. “Fortunately,” Dickey said, “he never sold any land.” But, he continued, when the signs appeared “we began getting calls from people saying ‘we can’t let this happen.’”

Tom Howe, senior director of land conservation at the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, saw an opportunity for Twigg to divest himself of his property and the town to preserve stretches of its landscape. The land trust negotiated an agreement with Twigg to acquire all four parcels

for $1.2-million, or about two-thirds of their fair market value, subject to conservation easements prohibiting their development in perpetuity.

Dickey said that nearly half the cost of the project was met with a grant of $532,000 from the federal Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program. The Gilmanton Conservation Commission, which will take ownership of two of the parcels, has contributed $120,000 from the fund accrued from the land use change tax, paid when landowners develop property previously kept in current use. Much of the balance has been met with private donations and Dickey said that approximately $125,000 remains to be raised.

Three of the four parcels have long been in current use and together the four have an annual property tax liability of less than $1,000. To ensure that the town tax will not forego tax revenue, Dickey said that the land trust will establish a trust, the income from which will defray the property taxes on all four parcels.

The Land Trust will transfer ownership of the Frisky Hill and Meetinghouse Pond properties to the Conservation Commission, which will be responsible for maintaining them in conjunction with adjacent conservation land owned by the town. The Land Trust will seek to sell the two remaining parcels to private parties, ideally farmers or abutters, who would rebound by the restrictions of the conservation easements. All four parcels are currently hay fields cut by a local dairy farmer.

On its website, the Gilmanton Land Trust describes these properties as “a vital part of who we are, how we view our community, and how we shape its future.” It might well have added “who we have always been.”

Number of N.H. students studying past grade 12 increasing CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Department of Education says there’s been a 6 percent increase in the past decade of students choosing to continue their studies immediately following graduation from high school.

The state released the information as part of its Status of Higher Education report on Tuesday.

The report said 52 percent of New Hampshire’s recent high school graduates enrolled in New Hampshire institutions as first-year students, while an additional 30 percent enrolled in schools in the other New England states.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, August 1, 2012— Page 11

While most New Hampshire students continue to attend school in New England, 5 percent fewer than a decade ago are staying in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire students are represented on college campuses in all states except Alaska, Mississippi and Oklahoma.

Regarding employment trends, an Associate in Health Professions has accounted for the greatest number of degrees awarded from New Hampshire institutions, according to the state’s Department of Employment Security’s Economic and Labor Market see next page

U.S. again golden in women’s gymnastics LONDON (AP) — One by one, the Americans thundered down the runway, soared high above the vault and slammed into the mat.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the fireworks were over, so was everybody else’s chance for the gold medal.

The Americans lived up to their considerable hype and then some Tuesday night, routing silver medalist Russia and everybody else on their way to their first Olympic title in women’s gymnastics since 1996. Their score of 183.596 was a whopping five points better than Russia’s, and set off a debate over whether this is the best U.S. team of all time. Romania won the bronze.

“Others might disagree. The ‘96 team might disagree.

But this is the best team,” U.S. coach John Geddert said.

The Americans didn’t botch a single routine, and all but three of their 12 scores were 15.0 or higher.

The Russians, on the other hand, had just one score above 15 in their last two events as they unraveled down the stretch. They sat on the sidelines sniffling and watching glumly as the Americans turned their final event, floor exercise, into a coronation.

When the final standings flashed, chants of “U-SA! U-S-A!” rocked the arena, and the U.S. women, who backed up to get a better view of the scoreboard, held up their index fingers for the cameras — in case anyone had a doubt.

“The feeling was incredible,” world champion Jordyn Wieber said. “To have this gold medal around your neck, it’s really an indescribable feeling.”

The Americans had come into the last two Olympics as world champions, only to leave without the gold. But national team coordinator Martha Karolyi recognized six months ago that this was a special group, stronger than previous U.S. teams.

It’s not just the titles these Americans have won, though there are plenty: last year’s team gold at the world championships, along with Wieber’s allaround crown and McKayla Maroney’s title on vault.

It’s their fierce competitiveness, and the unshakable faith they have in themselves. Rather than flinching under the weight of the heavy expectations, it made them stronger. When they noticed the Russians and Romanians peeking in on their training sessions, they cranked up the oomph in their routines, the better to intimidate. from preceding page Information Bureau.

Engineering studies head the bachelor’s degrees for New Hampshire institutions in the past five years.

Regarding high school enrollment, the report notes New Hampshire’s dropout rate is nearing 1 percent. However, the data also suggests that the number of high school graduates in the state peaked in 2007-2008 with a decline through 2021-2022.

DAILY SPECIALS

Even Wieber’s failure to qualify for the all-around final, which left her teammates stunned following Sunday’s sessions, turned out to be a minor speedbump.

“I told them just believe in yourself,” Maroney said. “Live up to that Olympic moment, because you’re never, ever going to forget it.”

Unforgettable, like their performance.

The Americans opened on vault, their strongest event, unleashing a barrage right that let the Russians know in no uncertain terms that they — and everyone else — would be playing for silver.

“They’re just so far ahead of anyone else,” Britain’s Rebecca Tunney said.

All of the Americans do the high-difficulty, highscoring Amanar — a roundoff onto the takeoff board, back handspring onto the table and 2.5 twisting somersaults before landing. It’s got a start value — the measure of difficulty — of 6.5, a whopping 0.7 above the vault most other gymnasts do, and they ripped off one massive one after another.

Going first, Wieber did perhaps the best one she’s ever done, getting great height in the air, her legs locked together. When her feet slammed into the mat on landing, she threw up her arms and smiled broadly. Anyone wondering how she was coping with the devastation she felt Sunday had their answer.

“I was pretty disappointed, but I had to put it together mentally, especially for this team,” Wieber said. “A team gold medal was also officially a goal of mine, and I had to pull myself together and move on and be stronger mentally for the team.”

Gabby Douglas went next, and her vault was even better. Then came Maroney, who may as well claim her Olympic vault gold now. She got so much height on her Amanar it’s a wonder she didn’t bump her head on the overhead camera.

Michael Phelps picks up record 18th medal, this time it’s silver

LONDON (AP) — Michael Phelps has won a record-tying 18th Olympic medal, taking silver in the 200-meter butterfly.

The winningest Olympian ever is still looking for his first gold of the London Games, getting outtouched at the wall by South Africa’s Chad le Clos.

Phelps flipped away his cap in disgust when he saw a “2’’ beside his name, knowing he had blown it at the end by trying to glide to the wall instead of taking one more stroke.

Le Clos won in a time of 1 minute, 52.96 seconds.

Phelps finished in 1:53.01, while Japan’s Takeshi Matsuda took the bronze in 1:53.21.

Despite the disappointment, Phelps tied Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina as the career leader with 18 medals.

Red Sox beat Tigers 4-1 in rain shortened game

BOSTON (AP) — Clayton Mortensen pitched 2 2-3 shutout innings after Josh Beckett left with back spasms and the Boston Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 4-1 in a game halted by rain in the top of the sixth inning Tuesday night.

Detroit had the bases loaded with two outs when the tarp was rolled onto the field. The game was called 1 hour, 45 minutes later, giving the Red Sox

their fourth straight win and sending the Tigers to their fifth loss in six games.

Mortensen (1-0) allowed one hit and three walks with one strikeout after being recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Tigers ace Justin Verlander (11-7) gave up all four runs in the fourth inning when he issued two of his four walks.

Texas GOP chooses tea party-backed Cruz for Senate AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Tea party darling Ted Cruz convincingly defeated the Republican establishment favorite, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, in Texas’ runoff election Tuesday, capturing the GOP nomination to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison as fiercely conservative voters shook one of America’s reddest states to its political core.

The race had been closely watched nationally as one of the nation’s most-vivid contrasts between the GOP mainstream and grassroots, conservative activists. But as results began to pour in, it turned out to be no contest. Cruz grabbed early leads in key cities around the state where Dewhurst had once enjoyed stronger name recognition, fundraising and political organization just weeks earlier.

Overseeing the state Senate from the powerful lieutenant governor’s post since 2003, Dewhurst was long considered a slam dunk in his race with Cruz, the former state solicitor general and son of a Cuban immigrant. Dewhurst had the endorsement of much of Texas’ Republican mainstream, including Gov. Rick Perry, who despite his failed run for president was still widely popular back home. He also had a $200 million personal fortune he could dip into at will and did, loaning his Senate campaign at least $24.5 million.

But Cruz has a fiery stage presence that made tea party supporters across the state swoon, and received millions from national, conservative organizations which targeted Dewhurst as too moderate.

Even though the lieutenant governor oversaw some of the most-conservative state legislative sessions in Texas history and helped speed the passage of laws requiring women to undergo a sonogram before having an abortion and voters to show identification at the polls, he also occasionally compromised with Democratic lawmakers to keep the legislative agenda moving.

Meanwhile, former Democratic state Rep. Paul Saddler easily bested perennial candidate Grady Yarbrough to capture his party’s nomination and face Cruz in November’s general election, but Cruz begins that race the overwhelming favorite.

Cruz memorized the U.S. Constitution while in high school and successfully painted his opponent as wishy-washy — even though they actually disagree

on little, either politically or ideologically.

The 41-year-old Cruz had never run for political office but bolstered his political credentials arguing in front of the state Supreme Court as the longestserving solicitor general in Texas history.

Cruz’s father Rafael is a pastor outside Dallas.

He fought with Fidel Castro’s rebels in Cuba before Castro took power and eventually embraced communism, and the elder Cruz fled to the U.S. with nothing but $100 sowed into his underwear.

Texas Republicans aren’t used to losing: The state has not elected a Democrat statewide since 1994.

But Cruz attacked Dewhurst from the right, and the lieutenant governor’s campaign had no real answer.

The state primary was pushed back from Super Tuesday to late May due to a legal fight over redistricting maps drawn by the GOP-dominated Legislature. The 66-year-old Dewhurst beat Cruz by 10 percentage points in the primary but fell about 70,000 votes short of the majority needed for an outright win in a nine-Republican field vying for the party’s nomination.

Besides Perry and other state GOP big guns, Dewhurst was endorsed by former baseball great Nolan Ryan. Dewhurst also won the endorsements of former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, who finished third in the Republican primary, and ex-NFL running back and ESPN commentator Craig James, the primary’s fourth-place primary finisher.

None of it was enough.

Cruz got millions from national tea party groups and other conservative organizations including the Washington-based Club for Growth. He was endorsed by ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, radio talk show host Glen Beck, U.S. Sens. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Kentucky’s Rand Paul, as well as former GOP presidential hopeful and Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

At a morning campaign stop in Houston, Cruz said he heard from voters statewide interested in changing what they view as insider-politics in Washington.

“That’s the way the democratic process is supposed to work. It’s not supposed to be a bunch of guys in a smoky room in Austin picking the next senator,” Cruz added.

Tony winning play, ‘The Last Night of Ballyhoo’ premiers at Winni Playhouse LACONIA — Theatregoers who were delighted by The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s hit production of Driving Miss Daisy a few seasons back won’t want to miss this season’s The Last Night of Ballyhoo. Written by the same author, Alfred Uhry, nearly 10 years after Daisy’s premiere, The Last Night of Ballyhoo earned a Tony Award for Best Play. The sweet family comedy will feature as the fourth play in The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s professional summer season in Weirs Beach.

Like Driving Miss Daisy, this play is set in the household of a wealthy Jewish family in Atlanta. It is December 1939, and the world premiere of the film Gone with the Wind forms the backdrop as the play begins. The play focuses on a bachelor businessman, Adolph Freitag, who lives with his widowed sister and sister-in-law and their respective daughters. One niece, Sunny, is visiting for the holiday season after a semester spent at Wellesley College.

Caught up in the excitement of Gone with the Wind, the other niece, Lala, is a dreamer living at home who is often at odds with her overbearing mother, Boo, who would like nothing more than for Lala to settle down with a boy from one of the elite Southern

Jewish families. Adolph interrupts the family routine by introducing Joe Farkas, a young New Yorker recently settled in Atlanta to work for his company, into the household. Then the question becomes which niece will Joe escort to the dance at the last night of Ballyhoo – the big end of year celebration at the local Jewish social club.

The play features Playhouse favorites including Richard Brundage, Donna Goldfarb, Dan Lendzian, Sasha Castroverde, Adam Kee and Rebecca K. Turner. NH Theatre Award-winning actress Cathy McKay makes her Playhouse debut. It is directed by Bryan Halperin.

“The family dynamics in this play are relatable to anybody’’ Halperin says. “More overtly funny than Driving Miss Daisy, Uhry’s characters in Ballyhoo are so well crafted that audience members will laugh with recognition at the family’s interactions. The audience will root for Joe to end up with his perfect match, Lala to find her happiness, Boo to find contentment, and Adolph to simply enjoy a good meal in peace and quiet. This is a play that is extremely entertaining yet reminds us of the importance of family in all of our lives.”

They first gained his first mainstream exposure as a support act for The Rolling Stones during their 1981 U.S. tour. In 1982 EMI records released his best-known song, “Bad to the Bone”, which has been used frequently in television and film. Thorogood’s version of “Who Do You Love?” is played in Samuel Adams beer commercials and promos for the 2010 season premiere of the CBS television drama NCIS.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis mean to walk a mile in someone else’s.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whatever got your mind reeling last night, it’s all over now. Your inner sea is tranquil, dear water sign, and there’s just enough of a breeze for smooth sailing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The Zen Master Suzuki Roshi suggested, “To control your cow, give it a bigger pasture.” You need room to roam. If you’re having trouble sticking to the plan, it’s because the plan isn’t expansive enough for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Having no expectation of what is to happen will make what does happen more magical for you. Things will work out, and all you have to do is smile and watch.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Research, questions and theoretical explanations will not help you figure out the puzzle before you. To learn how things work, watch them in action.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may be able to shape someone’s opinion or change a person’s mind. This won’t happen by force. Sit back, and watch how things develop. You’ll soon see your perfect opening.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 1).

You refuse to let others define your life.

You do it your way and are not only satisfied with the result; you’re also well compensated for your effort. This month brings free and fearless moods.

What you do on your own for the first time will bring a giant thrill. Family makes you proud in December. Travel in May. Aries and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 4, 22, 39 and 16.

by Chad Carpenter

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be willing to open new doors and enter foreign territory in the pursuit of fun.

And you don’t have to wonder what will bring you pleasure, because you’ll be drawn inexplicably to such things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know what your threshold for frustration is, and if you see that a task is likely to cross the line, you are wise to either delegate it or take it on as a conscious exercise in personal expansion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Engaging, entertaining people are said to have “a lot of personality.” There are instances when “a lot of personality” gets tiring, though. Small doses are the secret to finding enjoyment with everyone you encounter.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success could come from anywhere, so stay open-minded. Something that starts out as a small but good idea will rapidly snowball into a pretty big deal as long as you don’t do anything to stop it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Few people are so satisfied with the example of relationships they have seen in their family of origin that they would hope to re-create the exact same dynamic.

You’ll get clear on what you want from your inner circle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Ask yourself why you want to do, have and be what you want to do, have and be. The answer to “why” will open a full range of options to save you time, energy and money.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you think of all the things you’ve done while wearing your shoes, you’ll have an excellent idea of what it really would

In 1894, the First Sino-Japanese War erupted.

In 1907, the U.S. Army Signal Corps established an aeronautical division, the forerunner of the U.S. Air Force.

Page 20 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, August 1, 2012

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My parents and siblings often complain that they can’t lose weight. However, they douse their food in salt and sauces, drink alcohol before bed, and have no qualms about pulling out the potato chips or chocolate candy. I used to be like them, but I’ve lost a great deal of weight and feel fantastic.

When my family complains about their weight, I suggest that they accompany me on my walks or eat the same foods I eat, but they decline. They tease me when I measure out portion sizes or choose healthier options for my meals. They congratulate me when they notice my continuing weight loss, but then they urge me to “slow down.” What does this mean? Are they jealous of my success?

Annie, I can’t stand to watch them put unhealthy things into their mouths anymore. What do I do? -- Healthier and Happier Dear Healthier: Nothing. You have discovered that losing weight is important for your health, but you didn’t do it because someone told you to. Your relatives must be self-motivated. The most you can do is set a good example by modeling the type of behavior that will help them. When they are ready, they will take the next step. It’s possible they are jealous, or they may be genuinely concerned that you have some type of eating disorder. But if your diet is healthy and well-balanced, you should continue to focus on your own good habits and do your best not to lecture them on theirs. If eating around them is too difficult, take your meals elsewhere.

Dear Annie: Throughout my life, whenever I’ve been in a mixed group of men and women, the men frequently talk over the women or interrupt them before they are finished.

Now that we are over 60, the problem is worse, as many of our male friends are hard of hearing. Do you have any sug-

gestions about how to get a word in edgewise or finish a sentence tactfully? -- Pat Dear Pat: We hate to say it, but some men are simply dismissive of women’s conversation. If you are close friends, you should mention it, asking them to be more considerate and reminding them when they forget. Otherwise, there’s not much you can do other than talk over them, ignore them or direct your conversation to a more amenable listener.

Dear Annie: Your response to “At a Loss,” the grandmother who was afraid of losing her grandson, missed the point. You said to check grandparents rights in her state, but that her best bet is to get back into her daughter-in-law’s good graces.

I think that is unrealistic.

As a trial lawyer and grandfather, I would have advised her to call a family lawyer. They also should be advised to document everything they have done, and continue to do, for their grandchild, as well as every occasion on which they are denied visitation. They need to understand that the grandson has the right to see loving grandparents, as well.

One consultation with the lawyer would suffice to tell them what their rights are. -- Louisville, Ky. Dear Louisville: True, but not so simple. In fact, recently, courts in several states have ruled that statutes providing for grandparent visitation violate either federal or local state constitutions. Plus, there are multiple requirements that must be met before visitation is granted, and if the parents are still married and neither wants the grandparents to see the child, visitation is tremendously difficult.

We appreciate your encouragement for “At a Loss” to seek legal redress, and we hope it helps. But we still believe her best chance is to reconcile with her daughter-in-law.

Inns and Spa at Mill Falls opens new Ekal Activity Center on Meredith Bay MEREDITH — The Inns and Spa at Mill Falls has opened the Ekal Activity Center, located on Lake Winnipesaukee between Church Landing and Town Docks in Meredith.

Ekal is the first full-service activity center on the lake to offer rentals, lessons and guided tours on stand up paddle (SUP) boards, kayaks, canoes, and pedal boats. Half day and full day rentals are available, as well as weekly.

“The Ekal Activity Center at Mill Falls brings another dimension to enjoying the lake and all the beauty that Meredith has to offer,” said Rusty McLear, president and CEO of The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls. “We are delighted to offer our guests another way to enjoy and access the lake. Thank you to the Ekal crew for providing the opportunity to get out on the water – easily and affordably. We are very excited about having them as part of our team.”

The Ekal Activity Center is run by Scott Crowder, who grew up spending summers on the lake.

Crowder also runs the annual New England Pond Hockey Classic, to be held in Meredith this winter on February 1-3, 2013.

“This has been a life-long dream to be able to share my passion and enjoyment of the lake with others,” said Crowder. “From helping the first time kayaker learn how to navigate, to experiencing the thrill of seeing someone get the hang of stand up paddle boarding, it’s about providing access to all the fun of enjoying the lake in the summertime. We also offer weekly SUP races and campfires by the lake every Tuesday night.”

“In my opinion, we have the best location on the lake in Meredith -- it’s a no-wake zone, and it’s the

ideal spot to fall in love with the lake,” said Crowder.

“We are already having people stop by after seeing the boats and boards lined up, interested in seeing what we’re offering. We are very excited to launch this center just in time for the summer.”

“We are very excited about adding this activity center to the amenities we offer our guests – as well as to residents and visitors to the area,” said McLear.

“What a fun, family-friendly way to enjoy the quiet and scenic beauty of Meredith Bay. We are confident that this will be a fun and popular addition to the line-up for the upcoming summer tourist season.”

M’borough Library will help launch ‘Bob Fogg’book on Aug. 8 MOULTONBOROUGH — Jane Rice of Moultonborough is the author of a brand-new book, “Bob Fogg and New Hampshire’s Golden Age of Aviation: Flying Over Winnipesaukee and Beyond,” published

by Peter Randall of Portsmouth.

The Moultonborough Public Library, where Jane has worked for many years, will host the “launch” of her new book on Wednesday, August 8 at 7 p.m. The program will include a slide show of selected images from her collection, and the book will be available for sale and signing. The book is 220 pages in length, includes hundreds of pictures from the “golden age” of aviation in New Hampshire between the world wars, and should be of great interest both to lovers

of Lake Winnipesaukee and to those who have an interest in aviation history.

Of the many people who love Lake Winnipesaukee, few people now remember that the Weirs once had a seaplane base where pioneer aviator Bob Fogg hopped over 50,000 passengers over the blue waters of the lake between 1923 and 1938. Jane’s grandfather was one of the pilots at the Weirs in the 1930s, and her research about his flying career led her to the discovery of many great old photos and lots of information about Fogg and his role in bringing aviation to the Granite State, resulting in the publication of her book.
