2 former selectmen were called on to advise Cormier before Belmont decided to settle with Pike over health insurance Administrator says town has ‘past practice’ of paying premiums for ex-spouses of employees

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Two former selectmen were consulted by the town about allowing current Selectman Chair Jon Pike to continue on his ex-wife’s town-sponsored heath insurance policy, said the town administrator in a letter to a resident made

available yesterday.

The two were Ward Peterson and Budget Committee Chair Ron Mitchell said Selectman Ron Cormier.

Without naming them, Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin on August 8 wrote that Peterson and Mitchell served as consultants to and a sound-

ing board for Cormier before he signed an agreement relieving the town from a possible lawsuit from Pike in exchange for allowing Pike to remain on his ex-wife’s policy at town expense.

The town also agreed to pay Pike $11,000 but agreed not to disclose exactly what the

money was for.

“While they (Peterson and Mitchell) could not vote on the issue, their opinions and guidance were invaluable in reaching the final agreement,” Beaudin wrote to George Condodemetraky response to his letter of August 2. see BELMONt page 10

The annual Theatre in the Park performances were originally scheduled for what turned out to be a beautiful Monday night but were postponed because of the threat of rain. On Tuesday night it really did rain, forcing another postponement. (Karen Bobotas/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Three fugitive siblings accused of shooting at police in Florida and robbing a bank in Georgia were captured Wednesday in Colorado after crashing their car into a highway barrier during a high-speed chase.

Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21; Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26; and Lee Grace Dougherty, 29, were targets of a nationwide search after they were accused of the crime spree.

Lee Dougherty was shot in the leg after the crash when she pointed a gun at an officer, authorities said.

All three suspects were being treated for injuries at a hospital before being transferred to Pueblo County Jail.

“Ladies and gentleman, I’m proud to say we won,” Pasco County, Fla., Sheriff Chris Nocco said. “We continuously said that if these three fugitives wanted a battle with law enforcement, we would win that battle. And that’s what happened today.”

Fed’s low interest rate policy a bummer for retirees WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve’s plan to keep interest rates superlow for at least two more years is great news for mortgage refinancers and other borrowers.

For retirees and others who need interest income, it’s a threat.

Nor will low rates likely revive a depressed home market, energize a weak economy or reassure frightened consumers.

They’re also putting pressure on Americans’ pensions. The consulting firm Milliman Inc. said this week that 100 of the nation’s largest pension funds were $254 billion short of what they need to meet obligations to retirees July 31, up from a

$186 billion shortfall at the end of June.

Low interest rates were the main reason for the widening gap.

The sinking rates flow from the Fed’s federal funds rate, which the Fed has kept near zero since the depths of the financial crisis in December 2008. The funds rate is the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. It indirectly affects rates for credit cards and some business loans.

Longer-term yields are determined by traders. These yields are also near record lows, driven down by investors seeking the safety of U.S. Treasurys.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which influences long-term mortgage

rates, set a record low of 2.03 percent after the Fed’s announcement Tuesday. Earlier in the day, the yield had been 2.34 percent.

As recently as Friday, it was 2.56 percent.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed loan fell last week to a yearly low of 4.39 percent and likely dropped further this week after the Fed’s announcement.

Mortgage brokers say refinancers are rushing to lock in those rates. In Greenwich, Conn., Tuck Bradford of Mortgage Master says his office is so swamped he’s extending the lock-in period that guarantees rates from 45 to 90 days so there’s time to process the volume. see INTEREST RATES page 13

LONDON (AP) — Thousands of extra police officers flooded the streets of London on Wednesday to deter rioters, and Prime Minister David Cameron warned that the government will take any necessary action to restore order and confidence to Britain’s streets.

Even as Cameron promised not to let a “culture of fear” take hold, tensions flared in Birmingham, where a murder probe was opened after three men were killed

in a hit-and-run drive as they took to the streets to defend shops from looting.

“We needed a fightback and a fightback is under way,” Cameron said in a somber televised statement outside his Downing Street office after a meeting of the nation’s crisis committee. As if to indicate his resolve, he underlined “nothing is off the table” — including water cannon, commonly used in Northern Ireland but never

deployed in Britain.

The number of arrests in London alone climbed to 820, with courts staffing around the clock to process alleged looters, vandals and thieves — including one as young as 11. Cameron has recalled Parliament from its summer recess for an emergency debate on the riots Thursday.

An eerie calm prevailed over most of see ENGLAND page 11

The agenda-driven downgrading of America As Lily Tomlin noted, “No matter how cynical you get, it’s almost impossible to keep up.”

Many of us view the deficit ceiling brouhaha between the Obama White House and the laissez-fairy extremists in the Republican House as some combination of farce and fiasco. So much political playacting around a made-up deficit “crisis” in order to avoid dealing with the real deficit that’s crushing America’s middle class and draining the lifeblood from our economy: the jobs deficit.

But wait — before I could work out my anger over that fiasco, here came an even more incredible farce.

Last Friday, a Wall Street credit rating firm, Standard & Poor’s, thrust itself onto the national stage by arrogantly, recklessly and wrongly downgrading the sovereign credit status of the United States of America from AAA to AA+.

Lest you think that this is an unimpeachable judgment by solid financial experts with no private agenda, you might recall that S&P geniuses had bestowed AAA ratings on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of subprimemortgage investment packages that turned out to be, in Wall Street’s lingo, “toxic waste.” These packages precipitated the financial crash of 2008.

Thanks, S&P! Oh, well, mistakes are made, right? Yes, and often. S&P professional assessors had also judged Lehman Brothers to be a highly rated investment, when — poof — Lehman suddenly went bankrupt. Imagine the surprise of investors who had trusted S&P’s seal of approval.

This outfit has less credibility than the government it has immodestly chosen to downgrade. Indeed, in its assessment of U.S. creditworthiness, S&P made another little error — a $2 trillion miscalculation in deficit math that should have altered its negative conclusion.

The company admitted its error, but humility is not a trait that’s in S&P’s genetic code, so — damn the evidence — it downgraded the U.S. anyway.

Company honchos explained their unprecedented move this way: “The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics.”

Notice two key phrases there: “our opinion” and “in our view.” What we have here is not a factual judgment, but a blatant political play by and for financial elites to impose their laissezfaire extremism on government policy.

Specifically, this document is part and parcel of the push by right-wing corporatists to force Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid onto the killing floor.

By downgrading the government’s credit rating, they add to the absurd hysteria over the deficit. “It’s the cause of America’s economic stagnation,” they wail, “and the only way to fix it is to take sledgehammers and chainsaws to programs that the middle-class and the poor rely on.”

Yoo-hoo, Wall Streeters — it was not workaday folks who crashed our economy, it was you! Your financial collapse wrecked the livelihoods of millions and jacked up the federal deficit you now decry. These elites are hoping that we can’t keep up with the fact that they’re using their own failure as an excuse to go after essential public programs needed by the very people they’ve knocked down.

This plutocratic power play is a defining issue of our time. It’s also potentially a unifying issue for a new progressive populism. The real spectrum in our country is not right to left, it’s top to bottom — and the vast majority of people know that they’re being pushed farther and farther down from those few at the top who control practically all of the money and power (excuse that redundancy) in our society.

By big margins, Americans emphatically support the public programs that the S&Pers are out to gut. They also agree by the same margins that the way “to stabilize the government’s ... debt dynamics” is not with more cuts in our nation’s historic democratic promise, but with an aggressive jobs program to revitalize the middle class.

Instead of downgrading America, let’s build it up. Where’s the party that will address this deep and broad democratic yearning?

(Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist.

The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)

Fact is, S&P didn’t put the U.S. economy in jeopardy in first place To the editor, The tumbling of the market on Monday would have happened sooner or later given a deteriorating economic picture. So the S&P proclamation just sped up the process. But now we are at an interesting juncture. The major indices are all down around 16-percent from their peaks. That is a hefty

discount when there is no proof yet of a recession and corporate America just had a great earnings season.

Politicians and talking heads are saying that the S&P downgrade of government bonds was politically motivated. The rationale goes that the downgrade was done because they see next page

LETTERS Passing cost of today’s comforts to future generations is immoral To the editor, Leo Sandy’s column titled: “What is the tea party?” in Tuesday’s Laconia Daily Sun shows how difficult it is for him to write about opponents without slandering people he doesn’t know, revealing his ignorance or dishonesty or both, and his ability to draw conclusions based on his wishes rather than evidence. One expects better from someone entrusted with the education and well being of our young men and women. His article helps explain why our education system does such a poor job (even though at great cost).

Tea party members are united by concern for our country and that the opportunity for quality lives is being stolen from future generations. My experience is that every group of Americans is represented. But we don‘t count people by race, age, sex, etc., we only see concerned Americans. Only liberals are obsessed with demographics which they try to use to deflect attention from their failing policies.

Sandy says “tea party members tending toward authoritarianism, libertarianism, and fear of change.”

Apparently tea party members can be both for and against the concept of personal freedom simultaneously, it’s a miracle! To be clear, tea party members are for positive change, i.e., to responsible government. We oppose President Obama’s changes which destroy jobs, people’s lives, and creates trillions of new national debt for which our country received NO VALUE. Tea party members are for responsible legal immigration. They oppose illegal immigration because it harms Americans, especially the least skilled Americans.

Sandy repeats the tired and false charge that tea party members are racist. Black tea party members laugh at this fantasy that has been made up because President Obama’s policies, which are what tea party members oppose, are indefensible. (Have you noticed how it is only racist to criticize

a black who is liberal? Did Sandy ever charge racism when Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas, or Colin Powell were slandered?) If Sandy attended a tea party meeting, he would hear plenty of criticism and anger directed at Republican politicians, including the white ones.

Tea party members are tired of politicians lying to the American people, establishing programs that are not fully funded, and trying to shift onto others the blame for the consequences of their actions. In general, we oppose all subsidies, bail outs, wasteful spending (including in defense), federal directives and enticements that drive up expenses for the states, local governments and school systems, excessive regulations which drives jobs out of our country, federal employees being paid twice that of the private sector employees, hiring nearly 200,000 new federal employees when the private sector is struggling with painful unemployment and underemployment, policies that shut down businesses with near perfect, but not perfect, emissions and drives jobs overseas (where there are no emission controls), rewarding behavior which is bad for society and individuals and punishing behavior which is good for society and individuals, politicians using tax money to buy support from special interest groups, and taxing people to continue funding wasteful, redundant, ineffective, valueless, and counter-productive programs that politicians are too lazy or too timid to eliminate.

Tea party people are for individual liberty, personal responsibility, caring for the helpless, and for small, limited, constitutionally-based, fiscally responsible government that provides security and opportunity for all citizens. They demand that government live within its means. They believe that passing the cost of today’s comforts to the next and subsequent generations is immoral and shameful.

LETTERS Democrats can’t stand audacity of people insisting they be heard To the editor, More and more we see the Democrats unwilling or unable to defend their positions and they, therefore, resort to demonizing the opposition. Sadly, all too often, if there is a woman or a black person who dares to be a Republican/conservative, they are immediately under attack and are demonized by the Democrats and their sycophantic press corps. Now that scapegoating and demonization is being spread to include the totality of the TEA party.

Not only are the Democrats in need of a scapegoat to blame for their ineptitude in dealing with the issues facing our country, they are just a bit paranoid about the audacity of people who are insisting that they be heard. It is them, the folks, the people, the great unwashed, who must be demonized.

If they are permitted to express their opinions, and if they insist on the government being of, by, and for the people, then the professional politicians are at risk of losing their positions of power.

My goodness, if people rule, how will the Democrats deal with that?

In reading Professor Sandy’s column in Tuesday’s Daily Sun, he also appears a bit nervous about the people having a voice. Perhaps he thinks that if the people reject lifetime politicians, just maybe tenure will be next. Can it be that some politicians and professors need seniority to survive? Why not give merit a chance?

The people understand that the government cannot continue to spend as they have. Baseline budgeting has

brought us to the brink of financial disaster. In addition, Cabinet level department ineffectiveness must be addressed and, when necessary, departments eliminated. Here are two candidate departments in need of some scrutiny.

The Energy Department was established in 1977 to work towards reducing our dependency on foreign oil.

Now, 34 years later, with an annual budget exceeding $24-billion, and with over 110,000 government and contract employees, we actually are more dependent on foreign oil than we were when the department was established. When Gerald Ford was President, we got 36-percent of our oil from foreign sources. In 2009, that number had risen to 66-percent. How’s that for effectiveness?

The federal Department of Education came into being in 1979 with a budget of around $15-billion. In 2010, its budget was $39-billion. During that time span our annual average cost per pupil per year has risen from $2,300 to $11,152 (which place us second only to Switzerland’s $11,334). Too bad that our test results don’t come close to matching our investments as we have slipped to between 14th and 17th in world rankings.

I believe it was Albert Einstein who said that insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Have the results shown an improvement?

Radiation respects no borders; we must oppose nuclear energy To the editor, On Sunday, called together by N.H. Peace Action, a small gathering on the banks of the Merrimack in Concord remembered Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb victims. We read 80-year-old Hshizume Bun’s words, what she calls “Appeal of Hshizume Bun, A-Bomb Survivor of Hiroshima, to the People of Japan and the People of the World, March 29, 2011.”

She wrote responding to the “Great Eastern Japan Earthquake” of March 11th. “I was in the midst of writing about the radiation exposure wrought by the atomic bombing of 66 years ago and about the lives of Hiroshima citizens before and after the blast.” And, “I was deeply pained by the accident involving Fukushima nuclear plant….”

She worries for the radiation damage done to children and their growth.

Her several pages of writing con-

clude with: “Radiation respects no border. To save our children, the future of our species, I call on the people of Japan, and the people of the world, to stand together and oppose the continuation of nuclear energy.”

Our banner read: No More Hiroshimas! No More Fukushimas! We placed flowers in the current of the river, reading aloud the names and ages and occupations of atomic bomb victims. One among us, Frank, an elderly military vet who needed steadying along the bank’s edge, lamented, “We have never apologized for what we did, for that destruction and the madness we started.” Another, Sally, a W.A.C. in Egypt when we dropped the bomb, said, “We cheered. We saw only the immediate relief from more war.

We didn’t see what we started.”

Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton

from preceding page painted themselves into a corner when they proclaimed that a $4-trillion debt reduction package was a minimum.

There are also people saying it was just the right call and long overdue.

The simple fact is S&P did not put the U.S. economy in jeopardy. They did not pass the spending measures that created the debt. They did not fail to pass the taxes necessary to pay for the

spending. Politicians and their cronies would have you believe that ratings agencies created the problem we find ourselves in. The reality is that the ratings agency is simply reporting the fact that the U.S. economy is not as pristine as it used to be.

The emperor has no clothes.

Just my honest opinion.

LETTERS Where was this disgust when liberals were called awful names?

Factory Truckload Savings on Water Toys & Boating Accessories

To the editor, It is time for a reality check. I noticed that Bob Meade finds local Democratic Party leader Ed Allard “disgusting” because he labeled as “terrorist” the Tea Party politicians now bent on destroying this country and state. Perhaps calling the Tea Party “terrorist” was inappropriate. It would have not been my first choice of words. After all, to my knowledge, Tea Partiers have not planted bombs or killed anyone — yet.

On the other hand, given the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric of some spokespersons for the Tea Party movement and their demand that they be allowed to carry firearms anywhere and everywhere to intimidate their opponents, future acts of violence by their followers are not an impossibility. The days of the Weathermen (to whom the Tea Partiers falsely try to link President Obama) are over. During my adult life, most acts of “homegrown,” domestic terrorism in the U.S.A. have been committed by members of the extreme right, not the left. The Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing, Klan killings, and armed violence against abortion providers all come to mind.

But, more to the point, Mr. Meade seems to have a double standard. Most of the name-calling and insulting rhetoric in this newspaper has come from right-wing conservatives, not from liberals and progressives. When Mr. Allard used the word “terrorist” to describe certain Republicans, Mr. Meade became very self-righteous and incensed. Where was Mr. Meade`s “disgust” when some of our local conservative extremists used much more hateful and inflammatory language against liberals and progressives and used it much more often?

Over the past two years, people who are only moderately liberal have been constantly called “communist,” “Marxist, and “socialist” by right-wing writers to The Sun. Most of these writers do not understand the meaning of the labels they hurl. Nor do they seem to understand their historical context.

Some have even called progressives and liberals “fascist”. This last label would be amusing if it were not so sad; as most social historians understand the term, fascism is a right-wing movement, not a left-wing movement.

Although we still have small, fringe groups like the neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan, the United States has not had a real mass fascist movement in years. The Tea Party and similar

GREAT ON DEALS SED U NEW & S! T A O B

958 Union Avenue, Laconia, NH • 603-524-6661 www.IrwinMarine.com

To the editor, It was a beautiful sunny day with gentle breezes on July 10 for the Temple B’nai Israel Food Festival.

Tables were set up outside Temple B’nai Israel with ethnic food prepared with recipes handed down from generation to generation: chicken soup, tongue, brisket, latkes, knishes, cheesecakes, strudel, blintzes, and many many more tasty food items.

A nearly new sale was taking place with many items for savvy shoppers to purchase. Those who felt lucky were able to purchase raffle tickets for

movements, however, have certainly engaged in some classic fascist tactics including extreme nationalism, inflammatory rhetoric, scapegoating, hatred toward targeted groups, mindless following of charismatic populist demagogues, and the frequent use of the “big lie” technique. There is an old saying: “if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has webbed feet, and likes water, then it may in all likelihood be a duck.”

Where was Mr. Meade’s disgust when liberals and progressives were called these awful names? Where was his disgust when Representative Harry Accornero (who should know the U.S. Constitution and know better) accused the president of the United States of the odious crime of treason?

I asked Mr. Acconero to explain and to offer proof for his charges of “treason” against the President but to date, he has not answered.

Where was Mr. Meade’s outrage when Anna DeRose perpetuated the “death panel” lie (along with a lot more uninformed, hateful, and angry invective—often in the name of God or Jesus)? Where was his disgust when Jack Stephenson promoted the lie that President Obama was a radical Muslim and not even a U.S. citizen when these urban myths have been continuously disproven and are even denied by some of the president’s fiercest GOP opponents?

Or, where was Mr. Meade’s outrage when Ed Chase, one of the most outrageous, libelous, and hateful writers to The Sun questioned the “Americanism,” patriotism, citizenship, and even the choice of names of those who disagree with him without knowing anything about those whom he targets? Where was his disgust when Mr. Chase wrote that single mothers who want to work and need help with daycare for their children were “fat” and “lazy?”

Finally, generally speaking, Mr. Mead is one of the more civil, gentlemanly, and intelligent conservative writers to The Sun. But even he is not innocent of some name-calling. Last spring, he labeled as “thugs” those who lawfully and peacefully gathered at the N.H. Statehouse to protest the current state budget. Isn’t a “thug” at least in the same family as a “terrorist”?

If you want to look at some really disgusting, outrageous, and hateful language in the pages of The Sun, Mr. Meade, I suggest you look to your right and not to your left.

LETTERS Make every effort to see ‘Cabaret’ by 14th; ‘Buddy Holly’ is next To the editor, Move over Broadway, Meredith is the new and revived summer theater district!

A cosmic blast took place in Meredith and placed a phenomenally talented group of artists in our midst with the intensity of a hundred billion suns.

Their passionate musical outburst on the stage is generated by beams of energy and radiation flashing away at the audience. You don’t suffer from sensory deprivation in this show. You find self-discovery and renewed courage. The highly charged musical opens with cosmic expansion and unheralded acceleration permeating the emptiest voids between the galaxies. The clever emcee is dark energy and takes us on a brilliant ride into Berlin’s night life supplemented with potentially revolutionary politics of the period.

Past theater productions by the cleverest team of Nancy Barry, Drew Rienstra and Steve Zumbrun, among others, have produced titanic shows and the effects are startling. We are lucky to have these guest artists. Theater goers are witnessing an unusual phenomenon that can be instantaneously captured if you attend the production “Cabaret”( August 2 to 14) which is currently being produced at the Interlakes Summer Theatre and financed in part by Northway Bank of Meredith. The wandering summer stock stars put on a production and create an atmosphere of excitement that can only be found in distant galaxies . Every number was an intense cosmic explosion. The musical play just kept getting better. This evening we feasted on professional stars of the highest quality.

The dance, song and acting were first rate and there is a compelling message.

The writer takes a Cinderella story and frames it in Hitler’s Nazi Berlin in the late 30s with brown shirt goons and swastikas and mixes in some complex characters The German flavored

authenticity is combined with absurd, ironic humor which serves as an effective comic relief to the pulse pounding action and political foreboding that will find racial bigotry and all-consuming madness.

The play is crafted and cast splendidly. What sets this musical apart from others is that we want to laughout-loud at the humor, innocence, disillusionment and recognize the horror of Nazism and denial of the times.

And you ask, can that happen in the USA? After all there are life cycles and that was the crazy Berlin world full of excess.

The director and choreographer has his sights on some clear targets and that was perfection in presentation and dance. He was committed to the highest standard.

The character Sally Bowles is an over the top star of “Cabaret”. Her character is perfectly appropriate and she maintained emotional believability. Her voice, self assurance and use of her eyes, reminded me of Liza Minnelli.

The sardonic emcee took on his role of chief commentator with an overthe-top performance. He pulled off his role without being too heavy-handed.

Individual performances were splendid and the show was truly a highlight. Every scene was a triumph with a large talented cast. The dance numbers came off well. The plot never stagnated. The plays staging was a success and the orchestra remained out front which was welcomed.

Overall “Cabaret” is a musical play with strong individual performances and a distinctive stage setup. Make every effort to see this energizing production. It is a critical elixir in life. You will be part of a cosmic blast from a powerful cast of stars. Phone 1-888-2456374 (www.interlakestheater.com) “The Buddy Holly Story”, a musical, will be produced August 16 to 21.

SIBLINGS from page 2 ertys “very, very dangerous people” and their capture a tremendous relief.

No troopers were hurt during the 20-mile chase on Interstate 25 that at times exceeded 100 mph. Shots were fired from the vehicle during the pursuit near Walsenburg, 145 miles south of Denver, officials said.

Some of Nocco’s deputies were expected to fly to Colorado to inter-

view the trio.

FBI Special Agent Phil Niedringhaus said the three face federal warrants in Florida and Georgia and that Colorado charges were expected. Officials had not decided how to handle extradition.

The siblings’ mother, Barbara Bell of East Palatka, Fla., said she had no comment on the arrests. Last week, see next page

N.H. lawmakers will again take up bill to quiet motorcycles

BY MICHAEL KITCH

CONCORD — A Seacoast lawmaker is renewing the effort to quieten motorcycles by introducing legislation to reduce the permissible decibel level from 106 to 84 by requiring all motorcycles and aftermarket exhaust systems manufactured after January 1, 2013 to comply with the standard set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Representative Michelle Peckham (R-North Hampton) said yesterday that she agreed to sponsor the bill at the request of New Hampshire Citizens Against Loud Motorcycles (NHCALM). “I know the problem,” she said, explaining that she lives on Atlantic Avenue, which links Route 1 to the beach.

“We have a ton of traffic and when four or five bikes go by and rev their engines my house shakes.”

Two years ago, a similar bill, the most recent of three failed bids to lower the noise level, was filed

by Representative Judy Day, a Democrat also from North Hampton, which was scuttled after the House Transportation Committeee unanimously recommended “inexpedient to legislate.”

Peckham suggested that Rep. Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry), the chairman of the committee, as a motorcyclist and author of the current law has a “conflict of interest” and should recuse himself.

Meanwhile, in May 2010 the voters of North Hampton, by a two-to-one margin, adopted an ordinance stipulating that all motorcycles ridden or parked in the town bear an EPA label on their exhaust systems, certifying that they comply with the 84 decibel limit. Seacoast Motorcycles, Inc., a Harley-Davidson dealership, brought suit, claiming the town could not impose the federal standard to circumvent the state law with its limit of 106 decibels. The ordinance has not been enforced pending resolution of the legal issues. Peckham said that her

legislation would render the legal issues moot and the local ordinance unnecessary.

“I tried to see why the other bills didn’t pass,” she said. “Economic hardship was a real issue. Bikers would have had to retrofit their motorcycles and dealers in aftermarket parts would be left with obsolete inventory.” To address the problem, her bill grandathers all motorcycles and aftermarket parts manufactured before January 1, 2013. “Bikes would come into compliance gradually and dealers would have time to sell the inventory,” she said.

Peckham dismissed suggestions that the law could not be enforced as “a silly argument,” noting that the “Motorcycle Noise Emission Control Information” label issued by the EPA can readily and easily be seen with a mirror. She said that compliance could be monitored through the annual inspection process, by refusing to pass motorcycles made after January 2013 without an EPA label, A $300 fine would be imposed for a first offense, but could be waived for violators certifying that their machines were compliant within 15 days of the citation.

“I’m trying to to be very friendly,” Peckham said.

“I’ve tried to work with the motorcycle community.”

Undaunted by the fate of past bills, Peckham said “this is actually becoming the trend. There is no reason New Hampshire should be alone. It’s crazy how loud this (106 decibels) is.” She said that one biker told her that he fitted a new muffler because “I got tired of making car alarms go off and babies cry.”

California has incorporated the federal standard in state law, but an effort to follow suit recently failed in Maine.

Peckham said that she has been encouraged by the police chiefs in neighboring Seacoast towns, including Rye and Portsmouth, who she hopes will speak in support of her bill. “We have to balance ‘live free or die’ with quality of life,” she insisted.

from preceding page she urged the trio to give up before there was bloodshed.

A citizen tipped the Colorado State Patrol about 9 a.m. that the suspects were believed to be in Colorado City, about 25 miles north of Walsenburg. Their vehicle was later seen at a nearby campground, but the suspects fled before deputies arrived.

A deputy then spotted the car at a gas station, and the chase began. Troopers deployed spiked stop sticks on the interstate, causing the car to roll over and crash into a guardrail, patrol Lt. Col. Anthony Padilla said.

Two of the three suspects, including Lee Dougherty, were arrested at the scene. A third fled on foot into Walsenburg but was arrested without incident by state troopers.

The arrests came a day after the FBI warned citizens the trio had likely been spotted buying camping gear in Colorado Springs. Alerts went out to dozens

of law enforcement agencies.

“I was worried about the safety of our troopers,” said Colorado State Patrol Chief Col. James M. Wolfinbarger. “To have them shooting at you and continue the pursuit, those men are brave.”

It was a similarly dangerous chase in Florida on Aug. 2 that launched the manhunt.

An officer tried to pull a car over for speeding northeast of Tampa, Fla. A five-mile chase followed, with speeds up to 100 mph, and at least two people in the fleeing car squeezed off 20 or more gunshots.

A bullet burst the patrol car’s front tire and the suspects got away, Nocco said. The officer wasn’t injured.

Hours later, about 210 miles north along Interstate 75, three people wearing masks charged into Certus Bank in Valdosta, Ga. One of the robbers brandished an AK-47 while another was photosee next page

from preceding page graphed by a security camera waving a machine pistol, the FBI said.

The robbers fired shots into the ceiling then fled with an undisclosed amount of money in a white sedan similar to the Subaru in the Florida chase.

Sheriff’s investigators linked the siblings to the case after they found an ankle monitor near the scene of the car chase. Ryan Dougherty had been issued the monitor after being convicted of sending sexually explicit text messages to an 11-yearold girl. Records show he had registered as a sex offender Aug. 1.

Bell previously told The Associated Press her son was upset by his probation terms and feared the conviction would prohibit him from seeing his newborn son.

Nocco said all three siblings had been living together in Lacoochee, Fla., about 45 miles northeast of Tampa, and each had a criminal record. Lee Dougherty has charges pending against her in Florida for hit and run and had previously been charged with battery, Nocco said, and Dylan Dougherty Stanley had been charged with marijuana possession.

Tracing prior background checks run by gun sellers, police confirmed that Ryan Dougherty bought an AK-47 assault rifle — like the one used in the bank robbery — at a pawn shop two years ago. Similar checks showed his brother also owned guns.

Police posted photos of the suspects on electronic billboards across the Southeast. Valdosta Police Cmdr. Brian Childress said it seemed the three had a “death wish.”

Lee Grace Elizabeth Dougherty’s first brush with the law appears to have been last May after she was involved in a traffic accident on Interstate 95 in Florida’s Space Coast.

At the accident scene, Dougherty began screaming and yelling at her boyfriend. Deputies placed her in a patrol car, trying to calm her down, but she kicked and tried to head-butt a deputy, attempted to break out a car window with her foot and spit in the face of a state trooper, according to the accident report.

She was arrested for driving under the influence and battery on a law enforcement officer. She had been driving with a suspended driver’s license and she refused to take drug and alcohol tests.

Just 10 days later, she was involved in another traffic accident and charged with driving with a suspended license and leaving the scene of an accident. Her boyfriend, who was in the car with her, was arrested for an earlier domestic violence charge in which Dougherty was the victim. While in the trooper’s patrol car, she put a seat belt around her neck and pulled it as if to choke herself, the incident report said.

Lee Dougherty pleaded guilty to the DUI charge and to driving with a suspended license last month.

She was sentenced to a year of probation.

Felch decides to challenge Bolduc in Ward 6

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “It’s time for a change,” said Anthony Felch, who this week filed his candidacy for the City Council in Ward 6 in a bid to deny incumbent Armand Bolduc a 15th term.

Felch said yesterday that “Armand’s done a good job, but he’s become a little complacent. “We can use some new blood,” he remarked. “A lot of the city councilors have gotten complacent.”

Born and raised in Laconia, Felch, who graduated from Laconia High School in 1977, has managed the Mountain View Apartments on Mile Hill Road for the past 20 years after a career in retail in retail management that took him out of the state for six years.

“I’d like to see if there is money being spent that

doesn’t need to be,” said Felch, adding that otherwise no particular issue prompted him to run. “Don’t get me wrong, I’ll voice my opinions, but I want to get on the council to represent the people. That’s why the councilors are there. To represent the people.”

A single father of 13 year-old daughter enrolled at the Middle School, Felch has coached girls lacrosse for four years and is president of the Lakes Region Gymnastics Booster Club. “I try to do as many charitable activities as I can,” he said.

Bolduc was last challenged in 2005, when a slate of candidates opposed to the tax cap and in favor of building a middle school mounted an aggressive, well financed campaign to unseat incumbents and capture the council. Joe Cormier, the chairman of the School Board, ran Bolduc a close race, but lost by 26 votes, 395 to 369, out of 764 ballots cast.

ickey Mouse should be showcased as a feline Make-Over, illustrating how decrepit he looked upon arrival back in March of this year, and how handsome he is now.

Residents were complaining about a stray cat, nobody cared enough to offer him a home, just upset he was wandering around their neighborhood; so the local Animal Control Officer laid a trap and poor Mickey walked right into it. Arrested for vagrancy he was transported to New Hampshire Humane Society in quite the sorry state: filthy dirty, clumps of oil on his fur, all beaten up by other, stronger cats, and practically starving.

It’s taken a few months to fix him up, but now Mickey Mouse resides right in the lobby of the shelter, staring wistfully at our receptionist

BELMONT from page one Condodemetraky has been pushing the issue since the bottom line details of Courmier’s decision was made public. He has complained that heretofore his written inquiries addressed to the Selectboard have been answered only by attorneys.

Pike and Selectman David Morse both recused themselves from voting on the matter. A recusal generally comes as the result of a conflict of interest.

Beaudin also said the May 14 agreement between the town and Pike came because “a claim was made against the town.”

No lawsuit filed by Pike against the town of Belmont is on record in the Belknap County Superior Court.

Beaudin also said the town’s insurance policy, through the Local Government Center, allows former spouses

to continue on ex-spouses insurance policies under the term limits sets by state and federal law.

She said the “member handbook” clearly states that the subscriber or ex-spouse may have a contribution or payment obligation for the ex-spouse’s coverage but the town’s practice has been to allow an ex-spouse to remain insured at the town’s expense as long as the employee was a family plan subscriber.

“The Board of Selectmen will be addressing an amendment to the town’s personnel policy which clearly defines the town’s policy on ex-spousal coverage at an upcoming meeting,” she continued.

Beaudin was unavailable for comment yesterday while Cormier declined to comment except to identify the two former selectmen as Mitchell and Peterson.

GILFORD from page one total savings to be around $90,000 annually.

Benavides recommended spreading the duties of the operations manager around to the DPW Director Sheldon Morgan, Town Administrator Scott Dunn and others in the department.

“I agree,” said Chair John O’Brien.

“So do I” said Selectman Kevin Hayes.

Benavides said he would be concerned that a shift in managerial duties, stickly within the department, would require the creation of a new management position and the town would not save money because of elevating responsibility and “backfilling” duties.

Along with a workload shift, Dunn said another change would be that the DPW union has requested that “dayto-day” managers, like Muzzey, not be included in their group. He said it was the model the town had in place in previous years and the union would prefer that overtime be assigned by someone not in the bargaining unit.

“It only becomes a problem when a member of the bargaining unit is getting overtime (that he assigns himself),” Dunn said.

He suggested the town hire a parttime person on an on-call basis to handle snow removal and estimated that it would cost the taxpayers about

$3 to 4,000 annually.

“Do you mean a driver and a truck?” asked O’Brien.

Dunn replied that it would be a driver only using town equipment because the N.H. Supreme Court has ruled the subcontracting of overtime duties, like snowplowing, must be negotiated with the union.

He also said a part-time driver would help eliminate the long stretches during snow storms.

Dunn said he would get a list of the operation manager’s duties and provide it to selectmen for the next meeting.

In other news, only about 10 people went to the sectmen’s Summer Town Forum than preceded their regular meeting. Most on their minds were declining property values versus town assessments.

Selectmen also voted 2-to-1 to give China Bistro a live entertainment permit and an unusual entertainment permit that will allow the night club at the restaurant to host wet T-shirt contests. The permits are valid through June 30 of next year.

The restaurant had been operating on a temporarily live entertainment permit while the owners addressed some noise and security concerns from last winter and spring.

The vote — Benavides dissented — means the selectmen agree that see next page

County secures 1 conviction related to Laconia heroin death of Laconia mom LACONIA (AP) — A Laconia man has pleaded guilty to selling heroin to a local mother who was found dead of an overdose inside her apartment earlier this year.

Stephen Marando was sentenced Tuesday three to ten years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to distribute heroin resulting in death. The Citizen reports he also pleaded guilty to related drug charges.

Police say the 50-year-old Marando and two women sold heroin to 23-yearold Ashley Denty.

Denty was found dead inside her apartment on April 1 after neighbors heard her toddler, but were unable to get Denty to answer the door. The medical examiner ruled that she died of an overdose.

The two women charged are awaiting trial.

Democrats win special election in Barrington BARRINGTON, N.H. (AP) — Democrat Bob Perry has won the election for the six-town District 3 seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

Perry, a Strafford resident, earned more than 58 percent of the votes in Tuesday’s election. He had 2,102 ballots, while Republican Honey Puter-

baugh of Barrington had 1,507.

They were running for the seat vacated earlier this year by Republican Marty Harty.

The 64-year-old Perry tells Foster’s Daily Democrat that he will focus on advocating on behalf of working men and women and helping sustain a veto on a voter ID bill.

State warns of algae bloom on Halfmoon Lake CONCORD — An elevated cyanobacteria cell concentration has been measured at Halfmoon Lake in Barnstead/Alton. Samples revealed that the state standard of 50-percent or greater of the total cells from the bloom were identified as cyanobacteria. As a result, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) has issued a cyanobacteria lake warning for those who recreate on Halfmoon Lake.

The current bloom is variable with some lake portions free of elevated cell conditions while other areas have green clumps/flecks in the water. Recent sightings report elevated cell conditions

at or near the center of the lake.

This warning is not based on a toxin evaluation and is intended as a precautionary measure for short term exposure. DES advises lake users to avoid contact with the water in areas experiencing elevated cyanobacteria cell conditions typically where lake water has a surface scum or bluegreen flecks/clumps. DES also advises pet owners to keep their pets out of any waters that have a surface scum or blue-green or bright green flecks.

The warning will remain in effect until additional samples reveal cyanobacteria levels have diminished.

ENGLAND from page 2 London as night fell Wednesday, with a highly-visible police presence throughout the city. Metropolitan Police said objects had been thrown at officers in south London’s Eltham neighborhood but that the incident had been “dealt with” and a group was dispersed.

Outside the capital, in England’s second largest city of Birmingham, police launched a murder investigation into the deaths of three men hit by a car. Residents said the dead men, aged 21 to 31, were members of Birmingham’s South Asian communities who had been patrolling their neighborhood to keep it safe from looters.

“They lost their lives for other people, doing the job of the police,” said witness Mohammed Shakiel, 34. “They weren’t standing outside a mosque, a temple, a synagogue or a church — they were standing outside shops where everybody goes. They were protecting the community.”

Tariq Jahan, whose 21-year-old son Haroon was killed, stood in a Birmingham street and pleaded with the South Asian community not to seek revenge against the car’s occupants, reported to be black.

“Today we stand here to plead with all the youth to remain calm, for our community to stand united,” he said.

“This is not a race issue. The family has received messages of sympathy and support from all parts of the community — all races, all faiths and backgrounds.”

He remonstrated with angry young men, urging them to “grow up” and go home.

Chris Sims, chief constable of West Midlands Police, said a man had been arrested on suspicion of murder.

“The information we have at the moment would support the idea that the car was deliberately driven,” he said, appealing for calm. “My concern would be that that single incident doesn’t lead to a much wider level of distress and even violence between different communities.”

The violence has revived debate about the Conservative-led government’s austerity measures, which will slash 80 billion pounds ($130 billion) from public spending by 2015 to reduce the country’s swollen budget deficit.

Cameron’s government has slashed police budgets as part of the cuts. A see next page

from preceding page owner Lin Bi has substantially complied with all of their concerns.

The permits are contingent on Bi keeping his state liquor license current as well as maintaining the current security levels and not allowing the noise levels to exceed where they are now.

“His program offers the songs and stories that, in the words of Carl Sandburg, tell us ‘where we came from and what brought us along.’ These ballads, love songs and comic pieces reveal the experiences and emotions of daily life in the days before movies, sound recordings and for some, books. Songs from the lumber camps, the decks of sailing ships, and the textile mills … offer views of pre-industrial New England …”

1761 was a very good year; Holderness celebrated 250th birthday over weekend

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

HOLDERNESS — A grand street parade held Saturday was one of the highlights of this town’s 250th birthday celebration, a four-day event which culminated with fireworks over Squam Lake Monday night.

The parade featured the oldest fife and drum band in the United States, the Mattatuck Drum Band, of Waterbury, Connecticut, which was formed in 1767 and has performed all over the country, including at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961.

That same year it also performed at Holderness’ 200th birthday party, ferried by wooden boats down the Squam Lake channel, and repeated that grand from preceding page report last month said the cuts will mean 16,000 fewer police officers by 2015.

London mayor Boris Johnson — like Cameron, a Conservative — broke with the government to say such cuts are wrong.

“That case was always pretty frail and it has been substantially weakened,” he told BBC radio. “This is not a time to think about making substantial cuts in

entrance at Saturday’s parade, which saw hundreds of people gathered along the parade route, which ran from Shepard Hill to the Squam Lakes Science Center.

The band has a long history with the town according to Malcolm “Tink’’ Taylor who, served as master of ceremonies for the parade.

He said that the catalyst for the band’s visits to Holderness was J.B. Williams, a summer resident, who purchased the old Maynard Camp on Cotton Cove in 1957, and was fixture in Cotton Cove until his death in 1971.

“His family had vacationed on Squam since the early 1900s and he sponsored “Band Weekend” in which band members would travel to Holderness see next page

police numbers.”

Scenes of ransacked stores, torched cars and blackened buildings have frightened and outraged Britons just a year before their country is to host next summer’s Olympic Games, bringing demands for a tougher response from law enforcement. Police across the country have made almost 1,200 arrests — including more than 800 in London — since the violence broke out in the capital on Saturday.

from preceding page and march down the Main Street to raise money for the Holderness Fire Department and other organizations,’’ said Taylor.

He said that band members would then spend the rest of the weekend in town and would perform an impromptu concert which drew many boaters to Cotton Cove.

Taylor was dressed as Samuel Livermore, the town’s most famous resident, who was twice elected to the United States Senate in the 18th century and played a key role in both the Continental Congress and adoption of the U.S. Constitution.

Another band taking part in the parade was the Baker Valley Band, based in Wentworth and led by Paul Hubert of Asland, who plays trombone and is the music teacher at the Andover Elementary-Middle School.

“We meet every Wednesday year -round for practices in Rumney’’ said Hubert, who said that the band often gets together with the Lyme Band for concerts in which he becomes the conductor instead of one of the instrument players.

Another member of the band, also a slide trombone player is Ed Shevlin of Ashland, a retired military intelligence officer who is a partner in a security firm which handles jobs in Palestine.

“I hadn’t played for 38 years until I retired and moved here. It took me a little while to get my lip back,’’ says Shevlin.

He says that the band is very busy and plays two or more concerts most weeks during the summer months. Many members also play in Oompah bands during Octoberfest celebrations.

The Baker Valley Band’s float was one of the last in the parade, which featured local groups such as the Sandwich Historical Society and it’s snow roller, along with many antique autos, such as a well-rusted

but still serviceable 1919 Ford Model T pickup truck driven by Barry Eastman of Holderness which carried an Abe Lincoln look-alike, complete with a stovepipe hat, Ralph Reynolds of Plymouth.

Enthusiastic parade watchers included Bruce Carpenter, who along with his wife raises Alpacas on Perch Pond Road, and Victor and Millie D’ambrosio of La Quinta, California.

“We came all the way here just for the parade,’’ joked Millie, who said that who for last 15 years the couple have spent the three summer months in the Holderness area. Victor is a retired surgeon who plays all of the golf courses in the area and says that their children attended the University of New Hampshire.

Comic relief for the parade came in the form of a balky mule named Sianna, who was escorted by Dan Thompson of Ashland, and brought the parade to a screeching halt a half dozen times by refusing to take another step.

Thompson received applause from onlookers each time he was able to push, pull and prod the mule into motion and by the time she had crossed over the Squam River bridge Sianna was moving with the flow.

Originally known as “New Holderness” (named after Holderness, England); the town got its start in 1761 as land along the Pemigewasset River was divided into 3-acre land grants and acquired by 61 people. The 36-square-mile plot included today’s town of Ashland, which split off 107 years later over a dispute about who would pay for village improvements. As a tribute to the shared history, Ashland joined in the Holderness celebration.

Holderness earlier this year marked the 30th anniversary of the filming of the movie “On Golden Pond”, a 1981 film which featured Katherine Hepburn and Henry and Jane Fonda and was filmed in the Squam Lake area.

INTEREST RATES from page 2 Applications to refinance jumped nearly 22 percent last week from the week before, the Mortgage Bankers Association said. Refinancing made up more than 75 percent of mortgage applications, it said.

But tantalizing mortgage rates aren’t luring many buyers into a broken housing market. Even as refinancing soars, home purchase applications have barely budged.

Potential buyers have plenty of reason to stay on the sidelines. Many can’t buy because the home they live in is worth less than the mortgage they owe on it. Or they can’t sell their house.

In Cincinnati, Jeff and Jo Ann Hawkins slashed the price on their home by $100,000 in the course of a year. They got zero offers. Same for Danielle DeGrazia in Bethel, Conn.

Low rates are also squeezing retirees who typically keep most of their savings in safe but low-yielding certificates of deposit money market accounts.

Typically, investors would be advised at age 65 to

keep at least 60 percent of their money in such safe investments. Investing in stocks could expose them to losses, if they had to withdraw their money before the market had time to recover. Older investors are commonly advised to have 70 percent or more in fixed-income investments.

Thome & Twins score 3 times in 8th to take game from Red Sox, 5-2

MINNEAPOLIS -- Jim Thome hit a tiebreaking RBI double during Minnesota’s three-run eighth inning and the Twins beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Thome also had a run-scoring single and the Twins got an outstanding effort from Nick Blackburn to snap a six-game losing streak and avoid a sweep.

More On The Red Sox Gordon Edes and the rest of the ESPNBoston.com team have the Red Sox covered for you. Blog Thome hit the 119th pitch from Jon Lester (11-6) over Carl Crawford’s head in left field for a 3-2 lead.

Blackburn gave up an unearned run and six hits in 6 2/3 innings and Joe Nathan picked up his ninth save.

David Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a homer and Lester gave up four runs and eight hits in 7 1/3 innings for the Red Sox. The left-hander also issued five walks, tying a season high.

Danny Valencia added an RBI double and Tsuyoshi Nishioka came through with a run-scoring single off Alfredo Aceves to give Nathan a little breathing room heading into the ninth.

The Red Sox were losing 2-1 when Ortiz stepped into the box in the eighth against lefty Glen Perkins, who has been dominant this season but has struggled a bit in the last week.

It was power against power, and Perkins gave him straight gas the entire showdown. He hit 96 mph on six pitches before cranking up and reaching 98 on his final offering to Ortiz, who sent the pitch 419 feet into the bullpen behind center field. It was the first homer Perkins allowed this season in 178 plate

appearances.

Success against his former team is nothing new for Ortiz, who was allowed to leave the organization after the 2002 season. He is hitting .333 (54-for-162) with 12 homers against the Twins, and is 9-for-19 (.474) at Target Field. His fingerprints have been all over this series, with go-ahead singles late in the first two games.

Thome never would have been in a position to put the Twins ahead in the eighth if not for Blackburn’s sharp effort.

Few could say they saw this outing coming from him. In his previous eight starts, he was 3-5 with an 8.15 ERA and 65 hits allowed in 38 2/3 innings. He had allowed 16 earned runs in his past three starts.

If Scott Baker wasn’t placed on the disabled list on Tuesday with an elbow injury, Blackburn may very well have been pitching for his job Wednesday night.

All he did was handcuff one of the deepest, most formidable lineups in the game for almost seven innings.

With a biting sinker and a befuddling changeup, Blackburn held the highest-scoring offense in the majors scoreless through six as the Twins took a 2-0 lead.

The Red Sox finally got on the board in the seventh, but only after Twins second baseman Trevor Plouffe muffed a grounder from Jacoby Ellsbury that would have ended the inning. Marco Scutaro followed with an RBI single to chase Blackburn, and Perkins got Adrian Gonzalez to pop out to end the inning.

Perkins (4-2) gave up one run and two hits in 1 1/3 innings for the win and Nathan’s save was No. 255 for his career, moving him past Rick Aguilera for the most in Twins history.

Mike Aviles had two hits for the Red Sox, and Delmon Young went 2-for-2 with two walks for the Twins.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock offers early retirement to 725 LEBANON (AP) — Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center plans to offer voluntary early retirement packages to about 725 employees, partly in response to New Hampshire state budget cuts.

The Lebanon hospital already has moved to save money by reducing the size of its workforce by 300 positions, having employees pay a larger share of their health insurance premiums and cutting discretionary spending. Last month, it joined nine other hospitals in suing the state over cuts to Med-

icaid, claiming they are paid inadequately to treat the poor.

The early retirement option will apply to certain non-clinical positions based at the hospital and its offices in Concord, Manchester, Nashua and Keene.

Eligible employees will have until the end of September to decide whether to accept the retirement packages. The hospital system has about 8,700 employees.

from preceding page of just 1.2 percent. Fiveyear certificates are topping out at 2.4 percent.

Inflation is running at an annual rate of about 3.6 percent, so these instruments won’t even keep up with the cost of living.

The meager returns are forcing some retirees to take on more risk. Carol Clemens, 65, of Edmond, Okla., has given up super-safe fixed-income investments. She’s putting more of her retirement savings in stocks of companies that pay dividends yielding at least 4 percent.

“That security is difficult for people to give up, but when you have no choices you have to take calculated risks,” she says. “That’s what it’s forcing a lot of retired people to do.”

The Fed might have made it impossible for many retirees to rely just on interest-bearing accounts.

“The Fed’s pledge illustrates the peril of being 100 percent conservative in your investments,” says Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.

“Your entire income stream is hitched to the Fed’s wagon, and it won’t be moving for two years.”

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis bled people will gravitate toward you.

They sense your empathic nature, and they will tell you their problems. Don’t worry about offering help. Your listening ears are help enough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Your innate managerial skills will be put to use. You’ll sense who is the best person for the job, and you’ll know just how to state things to make the job appealing to that person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No one can be 100 percent confident at all times. You may struggle with your own fears, doubt and skepticism, but keep pushing on anyhow. In the end, you’ll be victorious over these feelings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will feel good to give to a loved one, especially when the person isn’t even asking. Also, on some deep level, you know that if you don’t watch out for the other person’s quality of life, it will go down for both of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Not only will you be able to see into the future, but you’ll do so in vivid detail.

All you have to do is close your eyes and imagine what will happen next. Use your gift to create the perfect action plan.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 11).

You’ll dream big and then work backward to construct a framework for building that dream. Strong personal relationships are a source of fun and adventure in September. You’ll give a stellar performance in October. A quest to make the most of your money will help you afford a beautiful new lifestyle in January. Sagittarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 17, 20, 41 and 23.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You lift the hearts and moods of others just by showing up. It’s a lucky time for meeting fun people who also happen to be good for you to know on a professional level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are those around you who act like the police of every situation. You’re not so worried about controlling other people’s activities. You have your own beautiful chaos to control.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t have to try to be original, because you already are. You can’t help it! No two people -- not even twins -- have the same fingerprint. You will leave your unique mark on the world.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone in your life has different preferences pertaining to personal space. Some like eye contact, others want hugs, and still others like to stay at a distance. You’ll be observant and hit the right note with one and all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will not be confused with a neat freak anytime soon. That is, unless you devote several hours to handling a certain area of your home. This is the perfect time to get in there and get it done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The information trail goes cold, and yet you still feel a burning desire for knowledge.

You might see this as a chance to seek the deeper knowing that comes from your intuition.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have no way of knowing who will be able to make use of your talent and ideas.

That’s why it’s important to advertise.

Post your message where it will reach as many people as possible.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 11, 1934, the first federal prisoners arrived at Alcatraz Island (a former military prison) in San Francisco Bay. On this date: In 1810, a major earthquake shook the island of St. Michael in the Azores.

In 1860, the nation’s first successful silver mill began operation near Virginia City, Nev. In 1909, the steamship SS Arapahoe became the first ship in North America to issue an S.O.S. distress signal, off North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras.

In 1949, President Harry S. Truman nominated General Omar N. Bradley to become the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In 1965, rioting and looting that claimed 34 lives broke out in the predominantly black Watts section of Los Angeles.

In 1975, the United States vetoed the proposed admission of North and South Vietnam to the United Nations, following the Security Council’s refusal to consider South Korea’s application.

In 1991, Shiite (SHEE’-eyet) Muslim kidnappers in Lebanon released two Western captives: Edward Tracy, an American held nearly five years, and Jerome Leyraud, a Frenchman who’d been abducted by a rival group three days earlier.

One year ago: In Baton Rouge, La., police and FBI agents captured Michael Francis Mara, suspected of being the socalled “Granddad Bandit” who’d held up two dozen banks in 13 states for about two years.

Plymouth chamber brown bag seminar to discuss selling techniques PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce will present its next Brown Bag Luncheon Seminar on Wednesday August 17 from noon to 1 p.m. at Pease Public Library.

This month’s topic, “Developing Professional Selling Skills”, will be presented by Bob Nadeau, a member of Plymouth State University’s sales leadership faculty.

“Many people won’t make purchase decisions because they are afraid to make a mistake. Understanding your buyer’s personality types and preferences will help you develop the business opportunity”, says Nadeau. At the seminar he will explain how clients make decisions, how to build

trust and how to overcome the “stall”.

There is no charge for this event, but seating is limited. Reserve your spot by calling the Plymouth Regional Chamber at 536-1001 or emailing info@plymouthnh.org.

The Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce serves the business community by promoting the greater Plymouth area as a unique place to live, work, and play, and by recognizing its business, social, and economic opportunities. As the leading business organization in the region the Plymouth Regional Chamber is creating new opportunities, collaborating with many regional and state organizations, and assisting with building a more comprehensive community.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 11, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: “Jimmy” and I have been married for five years. In the past two, things have slowly gone downhill.

Jimmy works long hours, and while we are OK financially, money is also a source of stress. Certain triggers that didn’t bother him before are now major issues. He gives me dirty looks, calls me names and cusses me, and he can start fights over the smallest things, usually housework I didn’t get done, toys being in the living room, not fixing him a better dinner. We fight most nights of the week.

I’m tired of the highs and lows. Jimmy’s temper has escalated, and he hits walls and slams doors. He is mean to the kids, and when I defend them, he says I am never on his side. I worry what my children are learning about relationships.

I have a part-time job, but my main job is paying the bills, cooking, cleaning, laundry and child care. I rarely ask to get my hair done or buy clothes, because Jimmy’s ex spent him into debt and I don’t want him to think I’m like her. I would love to resume my career once the kids are older, but if it interferes with the running of the household, life around here will be miserable.

We barely have sex, because we go to bed angry. Jimmy expects the house to be magazine-perfect and says if he knew I was such a lazy witch, he never would have married me. When I protest, he tells me to quit complaining.

When Jimmy is in a decent mood, I remember how much I love him. But the rest of the time, I feel worthless and like a failure. I’d try counseling, but he won’t go. I miss the guy he used to be. -- Hopelessly Devoted Dear Devoted: Jimmy sounds stressed and unable to control his moods. He also is verbally abusive. He might be more willing to talk about this with his doctor, but if he refuses to admit there’s a problem, your best option is to get counsel-

ing for yourself. There may be ways to respond better. Your doctor or clergyperson can refer you, or try United Way. If Jimmy’s behavior worsens, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-7997233).

Dear Annie: You’ve printed a lot of letters about men with erectile dysfunction. I had that problem for several years as a result of various medications. I tried the little blue pill, but had major side effects.

Finally, a urologist recommended an implant. It sounded scary, but he connected me with other men who have one, and this calmed my fears. The outpatient procedure was fully covered by my insurance. I awoke without discomfort and was soon released. After three weeks, I was fully functional -- no more failures, disappointments, embarrassments or anxiety. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Please tell your readers. -- Senior Citizen in Florida Dear Florida: You told them, and we’re certain many were listening carefully. Any elective surgery is a very personal decision, but we appreciate your testimonial and hope it is helpful to others.

Dear Annie: This is for “Nebraska,” who is raising her grandson while her daughter spends the child support money on other things.

I work in a Child Support Enforcement Unit (CSEU), and this happens quite frequently. The grandmother should talk to her local CSEU. They can help her file, at no cost, a change of beneficiary, making her the recipient of the payments since she is, in fact, the child’s actual guardian. If the father should be granted custody, he can file a modifying petition that will terminate his payments of child support. I hope this helps. -- Jemal D. Cooper, Sr., Financial Investigator, Tompkins County DSS, Child Support Enforcement Unit, N.Y.

The proceeds were raised from the raffle of a 2011 Harley-Davidson StreetGlide motorcycle that was donated by the dealership. Nearly 250 pounds of canned soup was collected at the July 30 event and the winner of the motorcycle raffle was also announced.

“In our second year of this wonderful partnership with Laconia Harley-Davidson, we really challenged ourselves to increase the number of tickets sold so that we could better reach our New Hampshire veterans who should never have to go without food,” said Melanie Gosselin, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Food Bank. “The Food Bank could not ask for a more supportive collaboration than everything the team at Laconia Harley

does for us, and their donation to this program engages our state-wide community and makes a huge impact on the hungry in our state.”

The New Hampshire Food Bank provides food to over 26,000 different men, women and children throughout New Hampshire each week. Nearly 1 in 5 people the Food Bank serves are veterans. The $40,000 could potentially purchase two trailer loads of assorted grocery items, approximately 75,000 to 80,000 pounds of food which could provide as much as 65,000 meals.

“The New Hampshire Food Bank is on the front lines of the fight to feed New Hampshire’s most vulnerable populations,” said Anne Deli, owner of Laconia Harley-Davidson. “We are grateful for the generosity of our customers, staff and New Hampshire HOG Chapters who supported this campaign, ensuring our veterans get the care and respect they deserve.”

The grand prize was also announced at the July 30th event. Dennis Ouel-
