THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — School Superintendent Bob Champlin said last night that a committee to study the future of sports needs at the High School has been formed to work in conjunction with, but independently of, the Huot Regional Technical Education Center Committee and School Board.

The newest committee is tasked with a study of the Laconia High School’s future sports needs independent of either boards or the City Council.

“We’re talking to the people who have the most interest,” said Champlin who said the five-member committee will include LHS football coach Craig Kozens, former LHS football coach and athletic direcsee LHs page 8

N.H. Veterans Association bringing glimpses of Civil War era to life at Weirs Beach over the next 2 weekends

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A century and a half ago, able-bodied men from states throughout the young union volunteered to serve as soldiers in what would become the Civil War. They had no idea of the horror in store for them over the next four years and when

the survivors returned home they felt a need, a strong need, to reunite. Thus, the New Hampshire Veterans Association was formed in 1875 and its members built several buildings on a nearly eight acre campus in the heart of Weirs Beach.

Starting this weekend and again during the next, the association will honor its

Jury slaps polygamist leader with life sentence

SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs recorded everything he said. Thousands of pages, written with Biblical flourish, about God wanting him to take 12-year-old wives.

About those girls needing to sexually please him. About men he banished for not building his temple fast enough.

Facing his last chance to keep his freedom, Jeffs didn’t say a word.

He was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday for sexually assaulting one of his child brides — among 24 underage wives prosecutors said Jeffs collected — and received the maximum 20-year punishment on a separate child sex conviction. Jeffs, 55, will not be eligible for parole until he is at least 100 years old.

The head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints made no plea for leniency. He ordered his attorneys not to call witnesses during the sentencing phase, and forbade them from making a closing argument Tuesday.

Less than half an hour later, jurors returned

London tries tripling police presence to end riots LONDON (AP) — Thousands more police officers flooded London streets Tuesday in a bid to end Britain’s worst rioting in a generation as nervous shopkeepers closed early and some residents stood guard to protect their neighborhoods. An eerie calm prevailed in the city, but unrest spread across central and northern England on a fourth night of violence driven by poor, diverse and brazen crowds of young people.

Scenes of ransacked stores, torched cars and blackened buildings frightened and outraged Britons just a year before London is to host the summer Olympic Games, and brought demands for a tougher response

from law enforcement.

London’s Metropolitan Police department put thousands more officers in the streets and said that by Wednesday there would be 16,000 — almost triple the number present Monday.

Britain’s riots began Saturday when an initially peaceful protest over a police shooting in London’s Tottenham neighborhood turned violent. That clash has morphed into a general lawlessness in London and several other cities that police have struggled to halt with ordinary tactics.

While the rioters have run off with sneakers, bikes, electronics and leather

goods, they also have torched stores apparently just for the fun of seeing something burn. They were left virtually unchallenged in several neighborhoods, and when police did arrive they often were able to flee quickly and regroup.

Some saw Britain’s economic crisis and deep cuts planned for social benefits as a deeper underlying cause for the outburst of violence.

The show of strength by police appeared to have quelled unrest in London late Tuesday, but in a move that could raise tensions, a far-right group said about 1,000 see LONDON page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve offered super-low interest rates for two more years Tuesday — an unprecedented step to arrest an economic free fall that dragged down the stock market. Wall Street roared its approval and finished a wild day with a 429-point gain.

The rally was remarkably fast — the Dow Jones industrial average was still down for the day with less than an hour of trading to go — and enough to erase two-

thirds of its decline the day before.

The Fed set its target for interest rates near zero in 2008 as a response to the financial crisis that fall. Since then, it had said only that rates would stay low for an “extended period.” On Tuesday, it said that would be at least through mid-2013.

But the Fed also said it expects the economy to stay weak for two more years, longer than the Fed had previously indicated. It has already been more than two

years since the end of the Great Recession.

The central bank left open the possibility of a third round of bond purchases designed to hold interest rates down and push stock prices up. The second round, announced last year, sparked a 28 percent rally in the Dow through April 29.

It was an unusually volatile day of trading. The Dow was up about 200 points most of the morning. It was up about 100 when see STOCKS page 12

Who is really downgrading America?

The decision by Standard & Poor’s to strip the United States of its AAA credit rating, for the first time, has triggered a barrage of catcalls against the umpire from the press box and Obamaites. S&P, we are reminded, was giving A ratings to banks like Lehman Brothers, whose books were stuffed with suspect subprime paper, right up to the day Lehman Brothers fell over dead. Moreover, S&P made a $2-trillion error in its assessment of U.S. debt and used political criteria in making its downgrade.

All of which may be true. But none of which is relevant.

This downgrade is deeply deserved.

For no one really believes the United States is going to pay its creditors back the $14-trillion it owes them, or the $21-trillion it will owe them at decade’s end, with dollars of the same value as those that the United States is borrowing today.

In the last year alone, the U.S. dollar has lost 30-percent of its value against the Swiss franc. A Swiss citizen who exchanged francs for $100,000 in dollars in June 2010 to buy one-year T-bills, then cashed those T-bills in this June, would have gotten back $100,000 in U.S. dollars.

But those dollars would now be worth 30-percent less in Swiss francs.

On “Meet the Press,” Alan Greenspan insisted that the United States is not going to default. Why not?

Because our debt is denominated in dollars, and we can print dollars to pay off our creditors. Which is pretty much what Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Fed have been doing.

With the dollar down 5 to 10-percent this year alone against the world’s more respected currencies, we are engaged in what the Romans called coin-clipping — official stealing from citizens and foreigners.

Why are the Chinese so upset?

Because they are sitting on more than $1-trillion in U.S. bonds and Treasury bills bought with dollars we paid them for Chinese-made goods, while the purchasing power of the dollars that those bonds and T-bills represent withers away every week.

“I believe this is, without question, the ‘Tea Party downgrade,’” says Sen. John Kerry. How so? Because the Tea Party blocked the big deal President Obama sought to cut with House Speaker John Boehner to resolve the deficit-debt crisis.

The president, we are told, was prepared to accept $3-trillion in reduced future spending for entitlements like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, but the Tea Party caucus refused to let Boehner agree even to $1-trillion in “revenue enhancement.”

But here, a question arises: If the president believes entitlement

reform is essential to get America’s deficit-debt crisis under control, why does he need Tea Party cover to do his duty?

He doesn’t. Tea Party intransigence on taxes is not the reason for Obama’s failure to cut spending. It is his excuse.

Indeed, if Obama announced tomorrow that he was going to cut future spending on entitlements by $3-trillion to restore our AAA credit rating, he would have the full support of the Tea Party. His opposition would come from Kerry’s colleagues in the Senate and Nancy Pelosi’s in the House.

To see how absurd it is to blame Tea Party Republicans for the downgrading of America’s debt, imagine this scenario: Rep. Ron Paul is speaker of the House, Sen. Rand Paul is majority leader, and Rep. Paul Ryan is president of the United States.

Does anyone doubt this trio would restore the U.S credit rating in a New York minute? Every sacred cow in the federal pasture, from food stamps to foreign aid, would be hanging in the meat locker.

The American people have come to like the president, but a majority is coming to believe he is simply not the decisive president we need to lead us out of the morass in which he found the country and from which he has failed to extricate us.

“He made it worse!” is shaping up as the GOP slogan for 2012.

If Obama wishes to restore the AAA rating of his country, he might consider two separate and bold steps, both consistent with his professed beliefs. First, tell the Republicans that if they will not agree to revenue enhancement, he will nonetheless do his duty and pare back spending in the entitlement programs. He would get instant GOP support.

Following this, he could go to the Republicans and tell them that if they agree to eliminate the clutter in the tax code — exemptions, loopholes, deductions — he will agree to cut tax rates for individuals and corporations alike, to make America more competitive. Again, he would have the support of Republicans and the Tea Party. It might even advance his re-election prospects, if he could get renominated by his own party, which would rebel at both reforms because they would mean a suspension of the politics of tax and spend.

As for the S&P downgrade, again, the only surprise is it didn’t come sooner.

LETTERS A classic liberal ploy: find 1 exception and paint it as the norm To the editor, This responds to Cathy Merwin’s diatribe of August 9. Cathy, you really should not take a phrase out of a statement, and out of context, posture it as the whole statement, then call the person who made it the dishonest one. That is not honest. If you want to climb on the “honesty” high horse, you need to start by being honest yourself.

My statement was “far more often (the Children in Need of Services Program is) just money going to fat lazy mothers so they could ship their illegitimate kids off to day care at our expense while they sat at home smoking cigarettes and watching Oprah than it was going to families so they could hold down two jobs.” You “forgot” to mention the two job part, which was the point of my statement.

My letter responded to Kate Miller’s letter where she tried to fool readers into thinking all the families receiving this hand-out had a father and mother working full-time but were still unable to make ends meet and needed this money for day care for little Cindy, when in fact two-job families on the dole for this money are virtually non-existent.

It’s the classic liberal ploy of finding the exception and painting it as the norm to trick people into taking your

side who would otherwise disagree with you. It’s like when you oppose parental notification because that 14-year-old girl who wants to get her sixth abortion “was probably” raped by her father.

That probably happened once, in Kentucky in the 70s, yet liberals made it the poster case for opposing parental notification. Pure dishonesty.

There might be a couple of two-parent, two-job, one-kid families out there who deserve this money, but people who work are usually the type of people who have too much self esteem to accept hand-outs from their neighbors. More often, it is the people who have been raised to see their neighbors as a huge teat that have no problem riding the “free stuff” train through life. If you want to talk about honesty, you need to start by admitting this to yourself.

Smell the coffee, Cathy.

I never said that all of these recipients are fat lazy chain-smoking Oprah-watching baby factories, I just said that there are probably more of those on this dole than there are the “two-job two-parent one-kid families “ that Kate Miller invented. I stand by that statement. Between Kate and me, I was the honest one here.

If super rich would stop outsourcing jobs we wouldn’t be in this mess To the editor, On May 27, 2011 Goldman Sachs announced that former U.S. Republican Senator from New Hampshire Judd Gregg was named an international adviser to Goldman Sachs.

Former Senator Gregg was the ranking Republican member on the Appropriations, BANKING, Housing and Urban Affairs and Health and Education, Labor and Pensions Committees.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush signed into law the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) on October 3, 2008, better know as the Banking Bailout, which former Senator Gregg voted for. According to Wikipedia, “U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont amendment to the Wall Street Reform Bill required the Federal Reserve to reveal the names of companies that received backdoor bailouts through a program that used liquidity and credit

tools to respond to the financial crisis in the summer of 2007. According to Senator Sanders, Goldman Sachs received nearly $600-billion.” Goldman Sachs also received another $10-billion from the TARP Bailout and on June 28, 2011 in an article by Scott Keyes of Thinkprogress, “Less then three years after receiving $10-billion in bailout money from the American taxpayers, Goldman Sachs informed its employees recently that it will fire 1,000 workers in the United States and elsewhere, shifting their jobs to the cheaper labor market in Singapore.” Must be one of Former Republican Senator Judd Gregg’s first moves to help Goldman Sachs save money at the expense of the American taxpayers and workers.

The political cry is let’s create jobs but if the super rich would stop outsourcing jobs we wouldn’t be in this financial mess.

LETTERS Obama has but a single-minded obsession, getting re-elected To the editor, The stock market lost more than 500 points yesterday and has lost more than 10-percent of it’s value over the last few days, following Obama’s 12th hour “Satan sandwich” debt deal. Why the big swoon? The important people on Wall Street, who control almost all private investment in this country, (and job creation) hate it and have voted their unanimous disapproval with an immediate 1.2-trillion dollar REDUCTION in stock market wealth.

A heap of money has been lost from your pension as well as 401ks of other American workers across the nation.

Wall Street sees the agreement as nothing but a political charade that creates nothing but more uncertainty concerning the economy and does absolutely nothing of substance to improve the financial footing of America going forward. Every attempt by Republicans to get immediate and meaningful cuts in spending were met by the Obama stone wall. This despite the election thumping Obama and Democrats took just a few months ago when America announced with both feet that it wanted SPENDING CUT. There is no mystery why Democrats have always been labeled “tax and spend “. While the nation voted overwhelmingly for deep spending cuts Obama instead demands raising taxes in the middle of the deepest and darkest jobs recession in 60 years. Obama’s demands are nothing but arrogant INSANITY! Obama has a single minded obsession. That is how to get re-elected with an approval rating that hovers in the toilet at 40-percent nationwide. A job approval rating SO LOW that by history it would suggest Obama is gone

but has just not left the building yet.

NOTHING else matters to Obama except remaining president for another term. That includes his obstructionist refusal to accept policies that are indeed best for ALL AMERICANS, not just Democrats. There NEVER WILL BE any serious or meaningful cuts in spending as long as Obama remains president. What there will be is a dark shadow that hangs conspicuously over America’s finances, where the debt rating on our bonds could be stamped on any day to less than AAA. I can ASSURE YOU such a down grade of U.S. debt will cause a selling panic on Wall Street and across the world, cutting value of pensions by trillions more in mere moments. It will put us back in recession if we are are not in one. Such a down grade of our bonds will literally kill the economic America you and I have known for the past 100 years. The added interest cost to finance our huge debt will be in the hundreds of billions.

The economic price America will have paid to finance the fanaticism of Barack Obama and his mentor reverend Jeremiah Wright to DIVIDE WEALTH rather than CREATE IT (along with jobs) will be beyond calculation.

Barack Obama HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE. His arrogant, singular, full-time, never ending, devotion to create a socialist gulag out of capitalist America is a ticking time bomb to the economic superiority and might that America and Americans have enjoyed since it’s founding. HE HAS TO GO! Our capitalist freedom and the country we know and love are no less on the line.

Advantage, yours.

It’s specially designed for customers 65 & over.

We’ll continue to have trouble collecting taxes were entitled to To the editor, I agree with the sentiments expressed in Mr. Ewing’s letter concerning the growth of government and the need to keep it under control.

That was a strong concern of Thomas Jefferson, who wanted to have the country live within it’s budget. He soon found that reasons arose that required violating his plans to reduce taxes. He reduced the size of the Navy but then had to pay to have the Navy deal with the Barbary pirates. Then the Louisiana Purchase was offered to him and he thought it would be a shame to let that bargain go by. So he issued bonds to cover that expense.

Since then Republican presidents and congresses have built highways, established new agencies and generally did what the people in the country wanted. Without the Eisenhower interstate highway system our ability to move goods around the country would not be possible, Now two wars started by a Republican president, and a deep recession by the same president, have put us in a very precarious national situation.

Those who do not want to increase

any revenue have jeopardized our entire financial system. Their insisting on cutting the budget is having the very immediate result of adding to the unemployed. I fail to see the wisdom in this.

Yes Mr Ewing, cut FEMA, those in flooded areas don’t want help, cut Medicare to the bone, the elderly don’t need that. (Yes there are cuts that all can agree on to eliminate waste.) Eliminate the Dept. of Education where Arne Duncan is trying to get our babies reading so they can succeed in school when they reach there. Educated citizens are a drag on the economy. Let’s have more school dropouts.

Until big business and the wealthy stop getting the preferential treatment they want we will have trouble collecting the taxes that we are entitled to. And that probably will not happen as long as members of Congress need their money to get reelected. This letter is already too long, or I would give you more reasons why our desire to see smaller government is not likely to happen.

LETTERS What about endless assaults on the 98% who do the hard work?

To the editor, It’s been eerily amusing to read the anguished hand-wringings of the new oh-so-fragile crowd. Many of these suddenly sensitive souls have been more than happy to freely toss around terms like “socialist,” “un-American,” “antiAmerican,” and in at least one instance falsifying a candidate’s position.

Mr. Boutin argues that a Democratic majority could have simply ignored Republicans and pushed through a debt-ceiling increase, with whatever provisions they wanted, last Fall. I know he didn’t sleep through previous Congressional battles over the stimulus and health-care reform.

The strategy he talks about would have worked no better in October 2010 than it would have worked in 2009. Republicans still filibuster any major legislation in the Senate (80-percent of all major bills last year) which means that majority rule isn’t 51-percent, it’s 60-percent And Democrats still have a big tent. There are conservative Democrats in Washington. Try to find many liberal or moderate Republicans there. They’re on the Endangered Species List instead, facing extinction.

Finally, if Democrats could have somehow bypassed Republicans and rammed through their own bill, Tony would have been the first person to rush to his keyboard to complain about political steamrolling, and to criticize the lack of Republican participation.

That was a constant argument in his letters about health care reform.

The president actually hoped to put together a comprehensive long range deficit-reduction plan, with bipartisan input. He thought he would be able to

negotiate with reasonable and rational adults. Poor man. Little did he realize that the other party had already been hijacked by a ruthless minority to whom even the majority of Republicans must bow or be driven from office.

Mr. Boutin even claims that Democrats “FORCED Republicans to be part of the debt ceiling negotiation process.” I had to go over that sentence several times to make sure I read it correctly. “Forced?”

Republicans campaigned saying they wanted to be part (if not all) of the process and to dictate any solutions. If they didn’t want to be included, they wouldn’t have run for office in the first place. That’s part of the job description.

Otherwise, we might as well all vote for the Potted Plant party.

In response to Mr. Meade’s letter: I was living in New York City in 2001. I was in town on 9/11. I lost some neighbors when the towers fell. And I knew police officers and firefighters who rushed into the burning buildings. So please don’t hide behind real heroes. Your cousin and his wife are among them: heroes always on duty and on call.

It’s strange that these folks’ sensibilities are never offended by the obscenity of the deliberate endless assaults on the 98-percent of Americans who do the hard work and the heavy lifting. They have been cheerleaders for every attempt by their political favorites to destroy the American dream, and they shake their pom-poms for policies that will ensure that the next generation will never be able to have a life as good as their parents. Enabling the destruction of the promise that is part of our American DNA. Ed Allard Laconia

I can’t say enough about the superb care I received at LRGH To the editor, In these days of reading complaints about this and that, I think it is important to let you know how I feel about my stay at Lakes Region General Hospital. I tell everyone I come in contact with about the terrific and skilled staff we have right in our own back yard, and how blessed we are to have such a hospital right here in the Lakes Region of N.H. I can’t say enough about the superb care I received at LRGH. I recently underwent a full knee replacement surgery at LRGH, but not without first attending a most informative “Joint Class”, meeting with Gail Bull, RN, my care manager, going through my “pre-op evaluation” and meeting with a member of the anesthesiology team. Every single member of the LRGH team was most courteous, kind and informative and helped me (a nervous patient) get from point A (the joint class) to discharge after surgery just three days later.

From the moment I walked through the front doors in the early morning hours of my surgery day, my husband Mike and I we were greeted by a professional staff who made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We were whisked away by my nurse and brought into the pre-op arena where we were settled into our assigned area efficiently. Each member of the LRGH pre-op team knows his/her job

and goes about it systematically but with smiles and exuding confidence all around. I was instructed in what to expect by both my skilled and experienced surgeon, Dr. Jeremy Hogan and Dr. Chris Chinn, my very knowledgeable anesthesiologist. I was prepped and off I went into surgery.

After surgery what became clear immediately was that for the first time in 10 years I was pain-free. It was an emotional experience for me. I was taken to the post-op surgical floor where a staff of the most wonderful, skilled nursing professionals, physical therapists, nutritionists and custodians work. Everyone was friendly, helpful and on top of their game.

I originally wasn’t looking forward to a hospital stay, but quickly overcame that feeling and settled into my daily routine of working toward mobility and eventual discharge. I was always encouraged by the staff to continually challenge myself.

Every day I was in their care, I was visited by both Drs. Hogan and Chinn to make sure all was well with my incision, drain and block, etc. By Friday I was ready for release back to my home. I felt fit enough, healthy and pain-free!

I have to add that we have five adult children (know-it-all children) who live in a variety of large cities around the country and who were worried see next page

LACONIA — A Harvard Street man indicted last month for his alleged role in numerous thefts from automobiles in Alton, is being held on $1,000 cash only bail after being arrested by city police Friday afternoon on drug charges.

N.H. 4th Circuit Court Michael J. Gibbins Judge Jim Carroll ordered (Laconia Police photo) Michael J. Gibbins, 22, of 56-B Harvard St. held at the county jail on Monday morning. He is facing one count of felony possession of narcotics, one count of felony possession of marijuana. There was also a warrant issued against Gibbins in Belknap County Superior Court for failing to appear for a court date on July 28.

Laconia Prosecutor James Sawyer argued for cash bail Monday by telling the court that Gibbins was an immigrant subject to deportation should he be convicted. He said he had not prosecuted two theft charges stemming from earlier Laconia arrests because Gibbins was an infant when he came to the U.S. from England and was convinced by a different public defender to place the charges on file.

Harwood asked for personal recognizance bail on all three.

“Michael is in no way a flight risk,” said defense attorney Wade Harwood, who said Gibbins’ whole family is in the area and he has a new job in landscaping.

He said Gibbins failed to show up for court because the notices never reached him.

When Carroll asked him more about the landscape job, Gibbins said it was for a roofer and that “me and one of my buddies pretty much go around and pickup after them.”

He said he had been slated to start Monday.

“When did he move to 820 North Main St?” asked Carroll, referring to a posting that Gibbins no longer lived on Harvard Street.

After some discussion Carroll learned that Gibbins had returned to 820 North Main St. two days before his arrest but that it was also an old address and there were two addresses, including an old girlfriend, in between.

“Mr Gibbins has moved around, yes,” Harwood said.

Carroll said he was concerned about Gibbins future appearance in court and ordered the cash bail.

Yesterday, Superior Court Judge James O’Neill III added to Gibbins’ woes by imposing an additional $2,000 cash only or $5,000 corporate surety bail to his tab during his arraignment for the charges out of Alton.

Gibbins was indicted by a grand jury on July 22 for one felony count of theft by unauthorized taking and two Class B misdemeanors for receiving stolen property. from preceding page when we moved here 12 years ago that we’d not be able to find the right medical care in our small lakes region… yet even our know-it-all adult kids have continually been impressed by the exemplary treatment we have received from LRGH.

Planned downtown children’s museum hosting fundraising activities on Saturday, August 20

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Andrea Wilson, executive director of the non-profit corporation developing a children’s museum downtown, said yesterday that after months of negotiations space for the project has been leased at 533 Main Street, the building that also houses the municipal parking garage.

“We’re in there and working,” she said, adding that she hopes to open part of the museum in January.

The Winni Children’s Museum is leasing 22,000-square-feet from Downtown Crossing LLC, the partnership awarded the property in a settlement reached in 2009 with Steven Borghi of Alton, whose plans to open Work Out World foundered under heavy debt, along with charges of misappro-

priation of funds and deceptive trade practices.

Wilson said that the museum will host its first official fundraiser, a rummage sale and silent auction, on Saturday, August 20. “The event will be held on the site, indoors, rain or shine,” she said, noting that anyone wishing to donate to the rummage sale or silent auction can contact her through the website, winnikids.org or call 998-7926.

The fundraiser will feature what Wilson believes may be the largest ant farm in the world. She explained that from the outset an ant colony was among the exhibits planned for the museum. “We wanted it and we wanted it to be big,” she said. Once the exhibit was designed, they found its dimensions — three-and-a-half by six-and-a-half feet see next page

He said Jack Irwin and Rob Roy have also been asked to serve on the athletic needs committee.

As the $13.6-million Huot Technical Center renovation jumps from the dreams stage to the planning stage, many have said the logical place for additional parking at the High School would be the existing LHS football field.

“Our goal is to bring them together on the topic of athletic fields,” Champlin continued.

The goal, said Huot Technical Committee Chair Joe Cormier “is to create more parking.”

Beth Arsenault of the School Board said many city residents have questioned her about the need for more student parking but she said the issue is not as much parking during the day as it is in the evening when there are conflicting events.

She gave examples of a basketball game weeknight coupled with adult education as a better example of the demands for parking.

Champlin said the 1980s Huot Technical Center addition took 60 parking spaces from the site.

The news of the athletics committee came during a comprehensive update to the Huot Committee about the expansion from Lavallee Brensinger Architects and engineering consultants Rist-Frost Shumway.

The funding will support the construction of roughly 30,000-square-feet of new space, roughly 20,000-square-feet of renovated space and 16,000-square-feet of give back space to the high school, that may now include enough space for five future science laboratories. see next page from preceding page — exceeded those of an exhibit owned by the Colgate- Palmolive in Singapore. “We intend to contact the Guinness Book of Records,” Wilson said. “People can see the record set while they are there.”

Wilson said that the event will be the first of a series of fundraisers during the coming weeks and months.

Meanwhile, Wilson said that work has begun on exhibits, all of which are interactive and educational. The museum will include a fire engine built in 1933 together with a display about fire prevention.

A grocery, bank, post office and restaurant will teach the value of a dollar through play.

The dinosaur dig will enable children to find the remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and trace the history of dinosaurs.

Aspiring carpenters and plumbers will hone their skills in the construction area. A laser harp and music wall will introduce the world of music and sound.

Last night committee members also got a look at a three-dimension model of the proposed renovation but more detailed information, to be gleaned from actual sit- down meetings this week about individual classroom goals between Huot Director Scott Davis, individual teachers, and architects, will be

available at the Sept. 13 meeting.

Also, contracts for the site survey and geo-technical evaluation — both of which will include Bobotas Field, which is the current practice field for football and the lacrosse playing field — have been awarded while bids for the demolition of two School Districtowned houses on Dewey Street are due next week.

The site survey will include underground utility evaluation, property lines and wetlands evaluations while the geo-technical survey will include soil samples, a load-bearing evaluation and seismic risk.

The same presentation will be made to the full school board on Tuesday, August 17 at 7 p.m.

MEREDITH — Many of the more than 100 people who came to the Community Center last evening to learn about toxic cyanobacteria blooms left wondering whether the state or the town should more closely regulate septic systems serving waterfront properties.

Prompted by a bloom on the shores of Bear Island last month, the program featured speakers who provided information about the risks cyanobacteria blooms pose to water quality and public health as well as guidance about preventing, identifying and reporting them.

Cyanobacteria, is best known for extensive, visible and toxic blooms that appear as paint or scum on the surface of both fresh and salt water bodies.

Jeff Schloss of the University of New Hampshire, explained that cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, has been present for millennia, but recently has become more aggressive as the volume of nutrients — phosphorus and nitrogen — has grown in streams, rivers and lakes. He said that some 20 different toxins have been identified, of which four of the most common are found in New Hampshire waters, Anabaena and Aphanizomenon produce neurotoxins that disrupt the nervous system almost immediately when swallowed.

Oscillatoria and Microcystis produce microcystins that attack the liver where their effects, including tumors, may appear within hours or days. In sufficient concentration, the toxicity of microcystins matches the venom of the Field’s Horned Viper, the world’s second deadliest snake.

Schloss said that in the past cyanobacteria blooms appeared in the late summer and early fall, but in recent years have occurred early in the spring and late in the autumn, perhaps because the water is taking longer to cool. He said that when blooms are blown into inlets and coves the cyanobacteria becomes highly concentrated and most dangerous.

Schloss referred to a study of New Hampshire lakes conducted at UNH, which indicated that the toxicity of blue-green algaes increased sharply when the concentration of phosphorus in the water reached eight to ten parts per billion (ppb).

Pat Tarpey, executive director of the the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association, said that water sampling of Lake Waukewan, Paugus Bay, Meredith Bay and Saunders Bay indicated that phosphorus levels have risen significantly during the past decade. Development throughout the Winnipesaukee watershed, she said has led to increased stormwater runoff, which carries phosphorus into the lakes, and failed or impaired septic systems are a major source of nutrient loading.

Rene Pelletier, assistant director of the Water Division at the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) stressed that safeguarding water quality required “a holistic approach” to managing stormwater and waste water throughout the watershed.

When the forum was opened to questions, Warren Clark of Meredith Neck said that despite the efforts to enhance water quality “this is getting worse” and pointed to “a lot of failing septic systems. Nobody knows if their septic systems are failing or not,” he continued. Then, alluding to the recent decision of the Board of Selectmen to shelve a stiffer ordinance regulating septic systems proposed by John Edgar, director of community development, Clark “we’re afraid to tell anyone to update their septic systems.”

His remarks were greeted by a hearty round of applause.

Clark referred to a proposal that would apply to all properties within 250 feet of Lake Waukewan requiring the installation of a new septic system whenever the conversion or expansion of building adds to the number of bedrooms as well as for any expansion of the living area of those properties without approvals for their septic systems.

LONDON from page 2 of its members around the country were taking to the streets to deter rioters.

“We’re going to stop the riots — police obviously can’t handle it,” Stephen Lennon, leader of the farright English Defense League, told The Associated Press. He warned that he couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be violent clashes with rioting youths.

Anders Behring Breivik, who has confessed to the bombing and massacre that killed 77 people in Norway last month, has cited the EDL as an inspiration.

Firefighters were tackling a major blaze at the site of a recycling center and fuel depot in Tottenham early on Wednesday, but it was unclear whether the fire was linked to any new outbreak of rioting. Outside of London, chaos continued to spread.

In the northwestern city of Manchester, hundreds of youths rampaged through the city center, hurling bottles and stones at police and vandalizing stores.

A women’s clothing store on the city’s main shopping street was set ablaze, along with a disused library in nearby Salford. Looters targeted stores selling designer clothes and expensive consumer electronics.

Manchester’s assistant chief constable Garry Shewan said looting and arson had taken place there on an unprecedented scale, but appeared to have little motive.

“We want to make it absolutely clear — they have nothing to protest against. There is nothing in a sense of injustice and there has been no spark that has led to this,” he said.

In the central England city of Nottingham, police said rioters hurled firebombs though the window of one police station, and set a vehicle alight outside a second. Eight men were arrested, but there were no reports of injuries.

Neither Manchester nor Nottingham had previously been involved in unrest. There also were minor clashes for the first time in the central England locations of Leicester, Wolverhampton and West Bromwich.

In London, stores, offices and nursery schools closed early amid fears of fresh rioting. Many usually busy streets were quiet as cafes, restaurants and pubs also decided to shut down for the night. from preceding page properties without approved systems would be required to undergo inspection and evaluation every five years to ensure they are functioning properly.

Edgar first presented the proposal to the Board of Selectmen last October and after considering it again in June, the board showed little inclination to pursue it further.

Edgar acknowledged that a study of septic systems was undertaken. Although he did not elaborate, the study of nearly 200 septic systems within 250 feet of Lake Waukewan concluded that 86 were at high or very high risk of failure. “We’re wrestling

Many shops had their metal blinds pulled down, while other business owners rushed to secure plywood over their windows before nightfall.

Some London residents prepared to defend their homes and stores. Outside a Sikh temple in Southall, west London, residents stood guard and vowed to defend their place of worship if mobs of young rioters appeared. Another group marched through Enfield, in north London, aiming to deter looters.

In east London’s Bethnal Green district, convenience store owner Adnan Butt said residents were tense.

“People are all at home — they’re scared” of the rioters, he said.

Police offered advice on what actions people could legally take to defend homes from attack. “As a general rule, the more extreme the circumstances and the fear felt, the more force you can lawfully use in self-defense,” London police said in advice circulated late Tuesday.

Senior officers said they were considering the possible use of plastic bullets — blunt-nosed projectiles designed to deal punishing blows to rioters without penetrating the skin. Such weapons, formally called baton rounds, still are used to quell riots in Northern Ireland but have never been used by police on Britain’s mainland.

Prime Minister David Cameron’s government rejected calls by Conservative lawmaker Patrick Mercer and some members of the public for strongarm riot measures that British police generally avoid, such as tear gas and water cannons.

“They should have the tools available and they should use them if the commander on the ground thinks it’s necessary,” Mercer said.

The disorder has caused heartache for Londoners whose businesses and homes were torched or ransacked, and a crisis for police and politicians already staggering from a spluttering economy and a scandal over illegal phone hacking by a tabloid newspaper that has dragged in senior politicians and police.

“The public wanted to see tough action. They wanted to see it sooner and there is a degree of frustration,” said Andrew Silke, head of the criminology department at the University of East London.

at the moment with the appropriate way to address that,” Edgar said. “At this point decisions have not been made about adopting local regulations.”

Betty Hingley of Bear Island, whose shoreline was home to the recent cyanobacteria bloom, spoke of failing septic systems and phosphorus loading and declared “my message to you is help! What can Meredith do? Can the selectmen help us?” she asked.

Town Manager Phil Warren intervened, saying that “proposals for the Waukewan Watershed Area have not been fully vetted by the selectmen” and assuring Hingley that “discussions will continue about water quality.”

Obama travels to air base to honor fallen troops

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. (AP) — The fallen come home here with such dignity that every American flag on every case of remains is inspected for the tiniest smudge. The dead are treated with reverence by everyone. Including their commander in chief.

For the second time in his presidency, Barack Obama was at Dover on Tuesday, saluting troops who died on his watch.

Sadness hung everywhere. For Obama, it was a day to deal with the nation’s single deadliest day of the decade-long war in Afghanistan. For the families of the 30 Americans who were killed, it was a time to remember the dreams their loved ones had lived, not the ambitions that died with them.

Obama solemnly climbed aboard the two C-17 cargo planes carrying the fallen home from Afghanistan to pay respects. Their helicopter apparently had been hit by an insurgent’s rocket-propelled grenade.

Later, the president consoled their grieving families. He stood in honor as the flag-covered cases were carried off the planes in front of him.

The country didn’t see it.

There will be no lasting, gripping images this time of Obama assuming his office’s grimmest role. No family could give permission for media coverage, the military said, because no individual bodies had been identified yet.

The helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Saturday was that horrific.

For Americans with no sons, daughters, other relatives or friends in the military, this punch seemed to blindside everyone. The war is supposed to be winding down, and the face behind it, Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, was killed months ago by elite U.S. forces.

Saturday’s blow claimed 22 Navy SEALs from the same special forces team that pulled off the remarkable mission in Pakistan that ended bin Laden.

None of those killed on the helicopter was part of POLYGAMIST from page 2 with the harshest punishment possible.

“He’s a pervert, and the crazy thing is, he perverted his own religion,” his sister, Elaine Jeffs, said after the sentencing. Nearby, police escorted her brother into a waiting patrol car.

Elaine Jeffs, who left the FLDS in 1984, watched the end to an often bizarre and graphic two-week trial. Other onlookers included one of Jeffs’ top lieutenants and state caseworkers who rounded up nearly 400 children during a 2008 raid at the sect’s Texas ranch. There were a handful of spectators as well, including a retired couple who also sat in on the Casey Anthony trial in Florida.

Despite the convictions and life sentence, Jeffs remains in control of the FLDS and its roughly

that raid, but the connection, along with the size of the loss, was deeply felt.

The troops who died had been flying on a mission to help fellow forces under fire.

The fallen were described as intensely patriotic, talented and passionate about the risks and responsibilities that came with their jobs.

Some were married with children. One wanted to be an astronaut. Another was going to propose to his girlfriend when he got home.

Three were from the same Army reserve unit in Kansas: Bravo Company, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment.

Seven Afghan commandos and one Afghan interpreter were killed, too, when the helicopter crashed in the Tangi Valley.

On Tuesday, 30 cases draped in American flags came off the planes; eight others were covered in Afghan flags.

The president had flown by helicopter to Dover.

The trip was kept private by the White House until he landed as a measure of security, although expectations of his presence were high from shortly after the 30 troops died.

Upon arriving, Obama boarded one plane carrying remains to pay respects to the fallen, then did so again on the second plane.

He then met with about 250 family members and fellow servicemen and women of the dead. He spent about 70 minutes with family members, offering his condolences and gratitude for their sacrifice and service, the White House said. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen joined in.

The formal process of honoring the troops, known as a dignified transfer, rolled on across the afternoon. Reporters were kept out of sight in a nearby building.

Officials frown on calling the events a ceremony to avoid any connotation of celebration.

10,000 followers. His most devoted consider him God’s spokesman on earth and a prophet, but his followers were absent in court for the bulk of the trial.

Jeffs sometimes was, too. He boycotted the sentencing phase, remaining in a courthouse holding cell, and refused to answer state District Judge Barbara Walther when directly questioned Tuesday.

Jeffs had represented himself during the conviction phase, and often interrupted court proceedings by contending that he was being persecuted for his religious beliefs.

The FLDS is a radical offshoot of mainstream Mormonism and believes polygamy brings exaltation in heaven. In closing arguments, prosecutors rejected the idea that the sect had been targeted.

MEREDITH — Each year Lakes Region residents and property owners have am opportunity to safely dispose of hazardous products from their household, reducing dangers in their home. In 2011 more than 1,700 households dropped off a total of 17,000 gallons of hazardous products, ensuring that these materials will not enter our drinking water or the environment, on which our local economy is so dependent.

Since 1987, the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) has coordinated regional household hazardous waste (HHW) collections. This year 24 Lakes Region communities pooled their resources, along with a small grant from the N.H. Department of Environmental Resources (NHDES) to provide their residents and property owners the chance to rid their homes of some toxic materials without endangering the Lakes Region’s groundwater or soil.

These hazardous materials included oil-based paints, household cleaners, automotive fluids, pool chemicals, and lawn and garden products.

The annual collections, held at eight different locations on July 30 and August 6, gave residents and taxpayers a couple of opportunities to bring their hazardous materials in for convenient and safe disposal. The Swap Table at the Laconia site was active as people found unused containers of paints, stains, and cleaners that they could make use of in their homes.

This year each of the eight sites distributed free copies of a flipbook “Alternatives to Household Hazardous Waste”, designed by LRPC and printed with a special grant from NHDES. Lakes Region residents and homeowners are encouraged to learn more about how to reduce their use of hazardous household products by visiting the LRPC website: www.lakesrpc.org/services_hhw.asp.

If you still have hazardous products in your home that you wish to dispose of, the Lakes Region Household Hazardous Product Facility in Wolfeboro will be open August 20, September 17, and October 15 from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

STOCKS from page 2 the Fed statement came out at 2:15 p.m. Within half an hour, the Dow was down more than 200.

But investors warmed to the Fed news, and the Dow made a bumpy, steep climb for the final stretch of trading. That included a 640-point swing from its lowest point of the day to its highest.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond briefly hit a record low, 2.03 percent, and finished at 2.26 percent. Investors have bought U.S. debt, driving yields down, even after S&P stripped the United States of its topof-the-line credit rating last week.

Interest rates on consumer loans, including adjustable-rate mortgages, car loans and credit cards, are often based on Treasury rates. So mortgage rates, which are already among the lowest ever, could go even lower.

Low interest rates for two more years could make the stock market a better bet because bonds will return

less money. That appeared to be at least part of the reason stocks rallied so much after investors had a chance to digest the Fed’s statement.

Some analysts also attributed the late-day rally to wording in the Fed’s statement suggesting it might take further steps to stimulate the economy in the future.

The stock rally came after two and a half weeks of almost uninterrupted declines. Those were fueled first by uncertainty about the federal debt ceiling, then by concerns that the U.S. economy is headed for a new recession and about out-of-control European debt.

When it came late Friday, the downgrade only added anxiety. On Monday, the first day of trading after it was announced, the Dow fell 634 points.

Even counting Tuesday’s gains, the Dow is down 11.6 percent since July 21 — almost 1,500 points.

The price of gold continued its seemingly unstoppable climb. It set see next page

Supreme Court to hear Erica Blizzard’s appeal of suspension of her boating license CONCORD — The N.H. Supreme Court will review last year’s state Department of Safety administrative ruling that stripped Erica Blizzard of her boating license.

In the wake of her 2010 conviction on one count of negligent homicide for failing to keep a proper lookout for a 2008 Fathers Day boating crash that killed her best friend, the Safety commissioner ordered the suspension of her Safe Boating Education Certificate for one year and her license to operate a boat for three.

Blizzard initially presented her argument to the Belknap County Superior Court but Judge James O’Neill ruled she was in the wrong jurisdiction and needed to first apply for a rehearing with the D.O.S. and, if denied, appeal to the Supreme Court.

Her argument centered on whether or not the D.O.S. had the right to suspend her license because,

says Attorney James Moir, it has not adopted administrative rules in accordance with the state laws she was said have broken, that the time period was unguided and arbitrary, and she was not provided adequate notice as to which specific stature within the law was broken.

Moir cited a 1986 ruling by the Supreme Court that said RSA 270 constituted an “over broad” delegation of authority when it was used to revoke some one’s driver’s license “for any cause he may deem appropriate” to be “vague, indefinite and and unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority.”

Moir said in Blizzard’s case the same standard of vagueness applies and that the Commissioner never adopted any rules regarding the implementation.

No dates have been set for oral arguments before the Supreme Court.

16-year-old survives ejection from SUV involved in crash LACONIA — A 16-year-old male was ejected from the SUV in which he was riding late Monday night after the juvenile male driver lost control of it. The teen was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital by ambulance with “unknown” head injuries but no report of his medical status has been made available to the public because of his age.

Police said their preliminary investigation indicates that two cars, a 2004 Ford Mustang and a 2002

Dodge Durango were headed north around 10 p.m. on White Oaks Road when the male driver of the Durango seemingly attempted to pass the 16-yearold male driver of the Mustang.

The driver lost control and hit a stone wall on the north side of the road.

The Durango has major damage and was towed.

Police said speed and inexperience appear to be contributing factors but continue to investigate.

Sobriety checkpoint scheduled for Belmont between August 7 & 13 BELMONT — In cooperation with the Northfield Police Department, the Belmont Police Department has established a Regional DWI Task Force, which will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in Belmont during the week of August 7 to August 13.

The operation is funded by the New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency and the National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration. The checkpoint is designed to identify and apprehend impaired drivers.

Belmont Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti, Northfield Police Chief Steve Adams and Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormier have all taken an aggressive approach to stop people from driving while intoxicated.

from preceding page a record price of $1,782 an ounce. Some investors see gold as a safe bet because its value isn’t tied to a particular nation, like a currency or government bonds, or to companies, like stocks. The price of gold has more than doubled since the recession began in 2007.

The Fed’s announcement of a two-year timeframe for any rate increase underscored a stark reality: A sluggish economy and painfully high unemployment have become chronic.

“The tone of the Fed’s statement is very downbeat.

They are very nervous about the economy,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

“This is unprecedented for the Fed to indicate they are ready to keep rates low for two more years.”

Not everyone was as impressed as investors on Wall Street appeared to be. University of Oregon economist Timothy Duy called the move “weak medicine” and said he wanted to see the Fed commit to buying more Treasury bonds, a measure known as quantitative easing.

The Fed’s projection of a weak economy into 2013 is also bad news for President Barack Obama, who must fight a re-election campaign next year.

Already, some of Obama’s Republican challengers

have blamed the S&P downgrade on him. S&P itself blamed the country’s long-term debt problems and dysfunctional politics.

Specifically, the Fed said the economy was “likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through mid-2013.” It held out the promise of further help down the road but did not spell out what else it might do.

The central bank’s decision was approved on a 7-3 vote with three Fed regional bank presidents who have been worried about inflation objecting. It was the first time since November 1992 that as many as three Fed members have dissented from a policy statement.

Dean Maki, chief U.S. economist at Barclays Capital, said the dissent suggests that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke would have trouble building consensus for another round of bond purchases.

The Fed used significantly more downbeat language to describe current economic conditions. It said so far this year the economy has grown “considerably slower” than the Fed had expected and consumer spending “has flattened out.”

It also said that temporary factors, such as high energy prices and the Japan crisis, only accounted for “some of the recent weakness” in economic activity.

Keene takes game 1 of NE Collegiate Baseball League championship series; game 2 here tonight KEENE – The Swamp Bats pounded out 14 hits against three Laconia pitchers last night to earn a 10-3 win and take a one game to none lead in the best of three series to determine a 2011 champion of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball League.

Game two is tonight at Robbie Mills Field in Laconia. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05.

If a third game is necessary it will be played back in Keene on Thursday night.

The Western Division champion’s hit parade included three home runs. The Eastern Division champion Muskrats had just one extra base hit, a

double off the bat of Chris Costantino.

Keene scored three times in the second and added three more runs in the fifth.

Laconia’s biggest inning was the fifth, when the Muskrats packaged two runs around a lone hit, a single by Constantino. An error, a walk and a sacrifice fly by Dylan Kelly helped.

The loss was Laconia’s first of the post-season.

Previously the Muskrats had closed out both Newport and Sanford in two games each.

Paid attendance was reported as 1,015.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Darnell McDonald hit a two-run homer into the upper deck in left field to help the Boston Red Sox defeat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on Tuesday night.

David Ortiz gave the Sox the lead for good on an infield single with the bases loaded in the seventh inning and Jonathan Papelbon picked up his 26th save.

Erik Bedard gave up two runs on three hits with six strikeouts in five innings in his second start since coming to Boston in a trade with Seattle.

Tsuyoshi Nishioka had a double and an RBI for the Twins, who lost their sixth straight game.

Francisco Liriano walked a career-high seven and allowed three runs on four hits with four strikeouts in six innings.

Matt Albers (4-3) gave up one run in one inning of relief for the win, helping the Red Sox move to 2½ games up on the Yankees in the AL East after New York lost at home to the Angels.

Matt Capps (3-6) took the loss for the Twins after giving up one run on one hit and walking two in one inning. Minnesota’s pitchers walked nine and its hitters whiffed 10 times in the game.

In an odd twist of events, the game featured two unexpected power surges from a pair of light hitters, and a nubber from the biggest man in the ballpark that proved to be the biggest hits in the game.

McDonald, who entered the game hitting .165 with three homers on the season, got a hanging slider from Liriano that he put into the upper deck in left field to tie the game 2-2 in the fifth inning.

Nishioka was hitting just .215 with just four extra-base hits and 14 RBIs this season when the

day started. He struck out in his first two at-bats before sending a pitch from Matt Albers high off the out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field for an RBI double that tied the game 3-3 in the sixth.

The Red Sox reclaimed the lead in the seventh when they loaded the bases for Ortiz. The big lefty hit a dribbler up the first baseline, but Twins lefty Phil Dumatrait fell flat on his face as he bent down to pick up the ball, and everyone was safe on a play that was ruled an infield single.

The free-swinging Twins had just one walk in their previous 182 plate appearances when they stepped to the plate in the first inning against Bedard. But they walked four times in their two-run first, including a bases loaded free pass to Delmon Young, who had walked 15 times in 314 plate appearances this season.

Bedard settled down after that 37-pitch first inning, keeping the Twins off the board with just two hits over his final four innings.

NOTES: Twins DH Jim Thome walked for the 1,708th time in his career in the first inning, tying him with Mel Ott for eighth on baseball’s career list. ... Red Sox manager Terry Francona said reliever Bobby Jenks, who is on the disabled list with a back injury, was released from the hospital on Tuesday after spending a few days there because of an illness. ... Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia walked three times. ... The Twins placed RHP Scott Baker on the DL with a strained right elbow ... LHP Jon Lester (11-5, 3.23) takes the mound for the Red Sox in the series finale on Wednesday night against RHP Nick Blackburn (7-9, 4.58).

Wood carving lecture at Buddy Holly coming to Meredith August 16-21 Chase House Monday

MEREDITH — William Schnute of Wilton will speak about “The Art of Wood Carving” on Monday, August 15, from 7-9 p.m. in the Fireside Room at The Chase House.

His talk is the final in a summertime “Signature of Excellence” series presented by the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Meredith retail gallery.

Schnute carves finely detailed sculptures, doors and entryways, signs and other various items and will discuss his process and techniques.

Schnute knew from the age of seven that he wanted to carve. He pursued a more traditional career in cell biology research, still carving wood whenever he could, until 1974, when his passion for wood sculpture developed into a full time endeavor.

He moved back to Iowa to work and sold many of his pieces and built a house for himself and his family out of an old covered bridge. He relocated to the West Coast, where he was successful in obtaining commissions for his work.

After the publication of his book “High Relief Wood Carving” and the inclusion of his work in other fine publications, Schnute became internationally known for his innovative designs.

His studio, Oak Leaves Studio, and home are now in Wilton.

For more information about the lectures series, call the Meredith Retail Gallery at 279-7920, email nhcraft@ metrocast.net, or visit www.nhcrafts.org/meredith.

You still have good reasons for doing what you do and wanting what you want, but you need to take a break.

Rejuvenate by doing very little tonight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Your soul needs freedom. Otherwise, it feels like doors to your true potential are being closed. When you feel constricted, speak up. Express yourself.

You’ll be respected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will be in a studious mood, though finding the time to actually indulge your intellect will be challenging. If you aren’t in a position to sit and read or research, then look for the learning opportunities in everyday life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Someone will be acting differently around you, and it won’t take you very long to figure out just why. You’re an expert detective and a keen observer of human behavior.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you do what you really want to do, you will be surrounded by helpful supporters. That is because people can feel your earnest devotion, and they want to see you succeed.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 10).

You will go through a happy transformation this year. Mix and mingle through the next six weeks. You’ll increase your number of connections and decrease the obstacles to furthering your interests. A love connection grows stronger through October. You’ll play a part in some kind of big production in December. Cancer and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 30, 11 and 50.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be well equipped to meet the demands of your current social environment. It will feel nice to be among people you can relate to and interact with easily.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be free of the limitations that come with self-consciousness. You know better.

Other people are not evaluating you, as they are too concerned with their own personal dramas to care.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You put family first, partially because you’re a responsible individual and partly because you love to feel that swell of inner confidence that comes from contribution.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want to succeed for your loved ones. They will provide you with far more motivation than you would ever have if you were merely intent on succeeding for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a special interest that you are falling more and more in love with every day. Being able to follow this interest has been a luxury in the past, though now it feels more like a necessity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s so important to you that things get done and done right. You will provide quality control for your group. You may be inspired to create a system that people can follow when you’re not around.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Aug. 10, the 222nd day of 2011. There are 143 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 10, 1861, Confederate forces routed Union troops in the Battle of Wilson’s Creek in Missouri, the first major engagement of the Civil War to take place west of the Mississippi River.

On this date: In 1680, Pueblo Indians launched a successful revolt against Spanish colonists in present-day New Mexico.

In 1792, during the French Revolution, mobs in Paris attacked the Tuileries Palace, where King Louis XVI resided.

In 1821, Missouri became the 24th state.

In 1846, President James K. Polk signed a measure establishing the Smithsonian Institution.

In 1874, Herbert Clark Hoover, the 31st president of the United States, was born in West Branch, Iowa.

In 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with polio at his summer home on the Canadian island of Campobello.

In 1969, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were murdered in their Los Angeles home by members of Charles Manson’s cult, one day after actress Sharon Tate and four other people were slain.

In 1991, nine Buddhists were found slain at their temple outside Phoenix, Ariz. (Two teen-agers were later arrested; Alessandro Garcia was sentenced to life in prison, while Jonathan Doody received 281 years.)

In 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as the second female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

One year ago: The House pushed through an emergency $26 billion jobs bill that Democrats said would save 300,000 teachers, police and others from layoffs; President Barack Obama immediately signed it into law.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 26 and a single parent to a 3-year-old girl.

I love my daughter more than anything in this world. However, in the past few months, she has become a brat and a monster, doing everything she can to test me.

Due to recent financial problems, we had to move in with my mother until I can finish my degree and get a job. No matter what discipline I use, nothing works because my mother undermines me. There is no consistency in what is right or wrong. My mother always gives in to her every request.

Once in a while, I will spank my daughter, but only on very rare occasions. I would never hurt her. My mother, however, cornered me and gave me a lecture on how awful I am for spanking my child. Yet I can clearly recall being spanked by my mother numerous times when I was little.

Mom often questions my parenting in front of my daughter and then treats me like an 8-year-old. I am enormously grateful that she opened her home to us, but I can’t be an effective parent when she constantly undercuts my authority.

How can I get her to keep her child-rearing opinions to herself and allow me to make the parenting decisions for my child?

-- Texas Dear Texas: While we agree with your mother that discipline does not require spanking your daughter, we also understand how difficult it is to raise a child when an indulgent grandparent rules the roost. First, have a sit-down discussion with Mom when your daughter is asleep. Get her to acknowledge that a lack of discipline is not healthy for her grandchild.

And you can compromise by agreeing to use different forms of discipline other than spanking. Create rules you can both abide by. If that doesn’t work, bring Mom to your next pediatrician appointment, and ask the doctor to speak to her. And please, find other living arrangements as soon as possible.

Dear Annie: I am a typical 20-year-old college guy. About

five years ago, on the way back from a family vacation, my brother got carsick. Since then, he constantly complains about stomachaches, gets nervous about everything and never travels. He’s been to various doctors, but all of them say nothing is wrong.

He doesn’t have friends anymore. He works once a week and says he’s “too sick” for a second job. He sits in his room playing computer games all day.

I want to motivate him, but whenever I try, he turns the argument against me.

I see how much it upsets my parents. They are trying everything they can, and honestly, none of us knows what to do anymore. Can you help? -- Concerned Brother Dear Brother: Your brother has anxiety issues that have not been addressed, so they have become worse over time. In addition, he may now be suffering from depression. This is not to say he isn’t also using his anxiety as an excuse to avoid responsibility, but it nonetheless can be crippling to deal with.

Your parents should get a referral to a psychiatrist and then insist that your brother make an appointment and be evaluated. There is medication for anxiety disorders, and the sooner he can be helped, the better.

Dear Annie: “Scared Sister” said she was afraid whenever her sister, “Louise,” had to drive at night, because her vision was impaired.

My 22-year-old son’s night driving was scary. It took two separate visits to the ophthalmologist to discover that he had congenital cataracts. It affected his depth perception. He was very clumsy as a little kid and had a lot of bruises. It was unnerving to be questioned by the school principal about child abuse. Despite multiple eye exams, the cataracts were not diagnosed until recently. Maybe “Louise” has the same condition. -- Accused Mom
