Trip to Middle East leaves woman sympathetic to Palestinian plight By MiKe MOrtensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA – When Queen Noor of Jordan spoke at Harvard 16 years ago she told her audience, “...solving the territorial disputes in the Middle East is almost as challenging as fighting for a parking space in Harvard Square.”

“I spoke just over a decade ago in this same hall, on the same subject: the vital need for peace in the Middle East,” the American-born wife of the late King Hussein continued. “It is striking to think of how much has changed and how much has not.” It’s an observation that Janet Simmon of Laconia can relate to.

Colo. suspect impressed Ill. neuroscience program
DENVER (AP) — The Colorado theater shooting suspect left a good impression on people he met in his pursuit of a neuroscience career, with a reference describing him as having a “great amount of intellectual and emotional maturity.” That account came in a recommendation letter sent to the University of Illinois’ neuroscience program as part of James Holmes’ application to the school last year. The names of those who wrote the letter were blacked out. The letter and all of the university’s documents related to Holmes were provided to The Associated Press on Friday after an open records request. The News-Gazette in Champaign, Ill., first obtained the documents. Holmes declined to attend the highly selective program, and instead attended the University of Colorado, Denver, studying neuroscience until he dropped out in June. He gave no reason for declining the Illinois offer, and no reason for dropping out in Colorado. HOLMES page 10

Syrian rebels low on guns as regime strikes Aleppo
AZAZ, Syria (AP) — Syrian rebels were running low on ammunition and guns Friday as government forces tried to consolidate their control over Aleppo, the country’s largest city and a deadly battleground for more than two weeks. The seemingly intractable, 17-month-old conflict in Syria has defied all international attempts to calm the bloodshed. Rebels and activists said Friday they have had enough of diplomacy and appealed to the international community to send weapons. “The warplanes and helicopters are killing us. They’re up there in the sky 15 hours
a day,” said Mohammad al-Hassan, an activist in Aleppo’s Salaheddine district, the main rebel stronghold in the city. “It’s warplanes against Kalashnikovs, tanks fighting against rifles,” he said. “I don’t know how long this situation can be sustained.” As Syrian soldiers bombarded rebel positions in Aleppo from the ground and air, diplomats said former Algerian foreign affairs minister and longtime U.N. official Lakhdar Brahimi has emerged as a strong candidate to replace Kofi Annan as U.N. peace envoy to Syria.
Annan announced his resignation last week, ending a frustrating six-month effort that failed to achieve even a temporary cease-fire as the country descended into civil war. Activists say some 20,000 people have been killed. Also Friday, the U.S. announced sanctions on Hezbollah for providing support to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime — a symbolic move, as Washington already has designated the Lebanese militant group a terrorist organization. Still, the sanctions emphasized how Syrsee SYRIA page 12
Afghan policeman turns gun on Marines, killing 3 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan police officer shot and killed three U.S. Marines after sharing a meal with them before dawn Friday and then fled into the desolate darkness of southern Afghanistan, the third attack on coalition forces by their Afghan counterparts in a week. Four other international troops also died Friday, bringing to seven the number killed on the day in the violent south, where insurgents have their strongest roots. Three died in an attack, which is under investigation, and the fourth was killed in a separate attack, NATO said. Thirty-one coalition service members have now died this year at the hands of Afghan forces or insurgents disguised in Afghan uniforms, according to NATO — a

dramatic rise from previous years. The assaults have cast a shadow of fear and mistrust over U.S. efforts to train Afghan soldiers and police more than 10 years after the U.S.-led invasion to topple the Taliban’s hardline Islamist regime for sheltering al-Qaida’s leadership. The attacks also raise further doubts about the quality of the Afghan forces taking over in many areas before most international troops leave the country in 2014. The three Marines were killed in the volatile Sangin district of Helmand province, said U.S. military spokeswoman Maj. Lori Hodge. Sangin was a Taliban stronghold for years and has one of the highest concentrations of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, in the country.
A U.S. Defense Department official confirmed that the dead Americans were Marine Special Operations Forces. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the family notification process was not complete. Sangin’s district chief and the Taliban both identified the gunman as Asadullah, a member of the Afghan National Police who was helping the Marines train the Afghan Local Police. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said by telephone that the attacker joined the insurgency after the shooting. “Now, he is with us,” Ahmadi said. The district chief, Mohammad Sharif, said the shooting happened at a police checkpoint see AFGHANISTAN page 8

State Police cruiser Romney to announce running mate Saturday in Va. involved in accident on I-89, no injuries result CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire State Police are still investigating why a driver veered off Interstate 89 and slammed into the rear of a parked state police cruiser with its blue lights activated. Police say no one sustained serious injuries in the accident that occurred on Northbound I-89 in Grantham just before 9 a.m. Trooper James Stienmetz of Troop D left his cruiser to inspect a pick-up truck parked in the breakdown lane. Stienmetz was affixing an abandoned motor vehicle sticker to the truck’s rear window when a 2012 Honda Civic driven by 23-yearold Robert Grady of Londonderry slammed into the back of the cruiser, sending it careening into the rear of the pick-up truck. Stienmetz was not struck, but was taken to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center to be evaluated. His 2-year-old bloodhound, Dozer, was in the car at the time of the accident and was taken to a Grantham vet to be evaluated. The dog was found to be fine and was released. Grady reported no injuries but was evaluated at the scene and released. The accident closed the highway for over an hour. It was reopened by 11 a.m. Police are still investigating the cause of the accident, but say they have ruled out drugs and alcohol as contributing factors. Anyone who witnessed the accident is asked to call Troop D in Concord at 223-8760.
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will announce his running mate Saturday morning in Norfolk, Va., his campaign said Friday night. The short list of candidates — if there is one — is believed to include Ohio Rep. Rob Portman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. In a statement issued Friday night, the Romney campaign said the running mate would be revealed at 9 a.m. EDT at the Nauticus Museum. Romney is kicking off a four-day bus tour through swing states. Speculation has focused in recent days on Ryan, the seven-term congressman. Conservative pundits have been urging Romney to choose Ryan in large part because of his authorship of a House-backed budget plan that seeks to curb overall entitlement spending and changes Medicaid into a voucher-like system to save costs. Pawlenty was maintaining his Saturday schedule campaigning for Romney in New Hampshire, an official close to Pawlenty’s political team said. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak ahead of the formal announcement. The Wall Street Journal, in an editorial on Thursday, praised Ryan as a strong choice for Romney:
“The case for Mr. Ryan is that he best exemplifies the nature and stakes of this election. More than any other politician, the House budget chairman has defined those stakes well as a generational choice about the role of government and whether America will once again become a growth economy or sink into interest-group dominated decline.” Romney’s choice comes as he tries to repair an image damaged by negative Democratic advertising and shift the trajectory of a campaign that’s seen him lose ground to President Barack Obama. The vice presidential selection will dominate headlines, and Romney’s team has been relentlessly teasing the announcement for weeks. Romney’s bus tour was expected to include appearances with Portman, as well as two others talked about as possible contenders for running mate: Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. The tour starts Saturday and will take Romney through four must-win states in as many days: North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Ohio. All are battlegrounds where Obama won in 2008. While Obama could afford to lose in one or more of them and still reach the 270 electoral votes needed for another term, Romney almost certainly needs all four to beat him.
FREEMAN, N.H. (AP) — A gray fox believed to be rabid attacked an elderly New Hampshire couple and then turned on the officers who tried to assist them. New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation officer Michael Eastman says the woman was walking her dog on Flintlock Road in Freeman at about 8 a.m. Friday when the fox attacked her and bit her on the leg.
Eastman said the woman’s husband came out of the house to help her and the fox latched onto his arm and wouldn’t let go. The couple was able to call 911 and when officers arrived, the fox bit two of them before the officers shot it. Eastman brought the carcass to state health facilities to be tested, but says the fox’s aggressive attack strongly suggests that it was rabid.

Are there no leftwing terrorists in America? In the wake of the horrific Sikh temple shootings in Wisconsin, leftwing barrel-scrapers are demanding that talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives apologize for criticizing a 2009 Department of Homeland Security report that hyped an ominous new wave of violent “rightwing extremism.” I don’t apologize. I call foul. The media lowlifes who exploit every tragic shooting to silence their law-abiding, First Amendmentexercising enemies are tearing this country apart. “Progressives” have had free rein to libel and slander peaceful, liberty-loving citizens — while whitewashing the violent plots and criminal behavior of their ideological counterparts. No more. Wade Michael Page was a chronically unemployed Army washout with a drinking problem; a body covered in abhorrent white supremacist tattoos; Neo-Nazi band membership; a recent breakup with his white supremacist girlfriend; and a military discharge under “other than honorable conditions” that suggests to several psychological experts he may have had a disqualifying mental illness. He was, in short, an unrepentant racist and sicko for whom no decent Americans have sympathy or tolerance. Before he turned the gun on himself, Page slaughtered six innocent human beings. But instead of mourning their deaths and decrying evil in all its forms, some vultures chose to indict the entire right. Instead of waiting for all the facts to come out about Page’s life and mental history, political opportunists rifled through their drawer of partisan grievances to score points. They are using the Sikh temple massacre to try to delegitimize perfectly legitimate criticism of the Obama administration’s 2009 Department of Homeland Security report lumping in homicidal extremists like Page with ordinary activists who embrace the very principles of limited government espoused by our Founding Fathers. On Thursday, Los Angeles Times reporter James Rainey promoted a smug article titled, “Sorry, Mr. Limbaugh, but Obama agency did not target tea party.” Rainey, who describes himself as having “spent many of his 30 years in journalism cogitating on politics,” blamed Limbaugh, Rep. John Boehner and yours truly for “prevent(ing) tracking of home-grown crackpots.” The DHS assessments, Rainey claimed, “were carefully couched as trends to beware of, directed not at everyday political activists but at those who planned to use violence to carry out their beliefs.” Sorry, Los Angeles Times. But your cogitating reporter misreported what was in those assessments and why conservatives successfully protested them. The
politically timed documents were released just as thousands of peaceful, law-abiding Tea Party members were preparing the nationwide April 15 Tax Day Tea Party protests. DHS’s overbroad report didn’t just target those prone to violence with “carefully couched” language. No, Los Angeles Times. The feds engaged in scare-mongering about unnamed groups and individuals “antagonistic toward the new presidential administration” and “those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.” Code words for the stimulus-opposing, bailout-protesting Tea Party movement. Duh. For good measure, the report tossed in vague references to pro-lifers, Second Amendment activists and border security advocates, too. As I noted at the time, past FBI reports on domestic terrorism have always been very specific in identifying the exact groups, causes and targets — i.e., the Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, and enviro-wackos who have engaged in physical harassment, arson, vandalism and worse against pharmaceutical companies, farms, labs and university researchers. By contrast, the 2009 report was a sweeping indictment of conservatives. The report warned that unspecified “rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy.” Conservative blogosphere? Guilty! And the entire report asserted with no evidence that an unquantified “resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization activity” was due to home foreclosures, job losses and “the historical presidential election.” To the extent that the DHS assessments mentioned military service members, they focused on Army veterans returning from war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rainey and his ilk blithely glide over the fact that Page was an Army dropout who never saw combat. No matter. Liberal commentators have convicted GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann, GOP Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the entire conservative talk-radio world for Page’s murderous rampage. On the dregs of cable TV news, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz invoked our criticism of the 2009 report to try to shame and blame Righty. Meanwhile, these ghouls remain radio-silent about actual domestic terror plots tied directly to the Democratic Party-embraced Occupy movement. Take the ring of selfidentified Occupy leaders, members and anarchist organizers in Cleveland, Ohio, charged with plotting to bomb bridges in Ohio and kill potentially hundreds in order to sabotage local business and commerce.

LETTERS Romney continues to lie even when he is confronted with truth To the editor, Romney is not truthful. He lies! He tells bold face “pants on fire” lies. When he is called on it he does not make a correction — he keeps on telling the same lie. You will say, “All politicians lie”. Politicians do distort the truth to make their point but, I can’t remember a politician continue to tell an untruth after it is pointed out by the media. Romney’s first political ad took Presidents Obama’s words out of context. Obama had said in a speech that Senator McCain stated, “If we keep talking about the economy we will lose”. Romney’s ad makes us believe that Obama was saying McCain’s quote himself. That Obama was making the statement not anyone else. The inconsistency was pointed out by the press and Romney continued to run this misleading ad! Recently, Mitt Romney stated that Obama was trying to exclude the active military from voting in Ohio. That was a “pants on fire” lie! The Obama Campaign and the Democratic Party cur-
rently have a lawsuit against the Ohio government for suppressing the upcoming vote by making it only one day with no pre-voting three days previous to November 6th, which Ohio said only active service personnel could vote. The Obama lawsuit wants ALL citizens to have the ability to vote during this 3-day period which has been a past practice in the state of Ohio. This is voter suppression further complicated by Romney’s untruth that Obama is trying to stop active service members from voting. I don’t want a president who consistently tells the American people untruths, bold face lies or meaning changing distortions. We simply cannot have this man representing the USA in the free world and governing the American people. He is not qualified! He does not have the proper character, morals, or scruples to be our Commander in Chief. It is a proven fact that Romney lies and then continues that lie over and over again.

Let’s keep moving the middle class forward with President Obama To the editor, I support President Obama because he support me, and all of us who are middle class. Recently, the non-partisan Tax Policy Center and Brookings Institution released a study that laid out the real world impact of Mitt Romney’s tax plan. While millionaires and billionaires would receive an enormous tax cut, 640,000 middle-class families in New Hampshire could face a tax increase of about $2,000. Mitt Romney’s plan could not be more different from President Obama’s. Under President Obama, the typical family in New Hampshire saved $4,238. The Presi-
dent has cut taxes 18 times for small businesses, and he’s asking the wealthiest to pay their fair share again. This election is a choice between two fundamentally different visions for how to grow our economy, create jobs and pay down the debt. Mitt Romney believes that if we slash taxes for millionaires and raise them on the middle class, our economy will grow. But we tried that philosophy for the past decade and it did nothing to help grow the middle class or pay down our debt. Let’s keep moving forward with President Obama. Lynn Thomas Meredith

LETTERS Taxpayers deserve a greater return on State School property To the editor, What should be done with the State School property? That is the question. There is however a larger question. What should have been done to maintain a very valuable piece of taxpayerowned property. All the taxpayers of this state have been asked over the years to invest dollars into buildings, land and jobs for the benefit of the taxpayers. The state has built the assets and carry on their books $11,000,000 of assets. I don’t know about you but if I buy a home for $300,000 and intend to use it until such time as I can afford to move or buy a better home, I don’t think I would want to sell that property for $30,000 and then build another home. That is what the state has decided to do with the school property. According to the latest article by Rep. Alida Millham (August 8), “Laconia has a vested interest in what the property is used for. It made sense for the city to have the first option.” The city of Laconia was ready to purchase an $11,000,000 property for $2.16-million. This was not accepted by the state. Next, the state follows a statute stating is must sell the property to the county for fair market value. The county commissioners were not willing to accept a very generous offer of sale for $1.7-million because the majority of the commissioners owes their allegiance to the City of Laconia. When I asked the state for the review of this property by the legislators of this county, I was met with hostility and disrespectful remarks by the county commissioners in an article in The Laconia Daily Sun. The majority of legislators from Belknap County were willing to
review and tour the property and we came out with a different opinion than when we went in with. This county does not have the means to offer a productive plan for the property. They would also need the approval of the state representatives to purchase the property. Given their attitude that this property should go to the City of Laconia, I doubt they would know what to do with a gift horse if it looked them in the mouth. I have my doubts if the City of Laconia has the financial where-with-all or the tax base that the state has, to do much with the property, especially if you believe all the argument against anyone wanting to buy the property because of all the problems and contamination. The phase one study that was done on the property has not given a definitive analysis and as yet there are ongoing studies being done to see what real problems are going to be turning up. In the meantime, about 12 of the 30 buildings that could be operational with minor repair and made operational quickly. I believe there are many valuable uses for the space and I would think the state, in this time of economic downturn, should be looking to the future of what can be done with this property to offset the cost of new state facilities or, how can this property return some of the investment we the taxpayers have made. There definitely needs to be a greater return on investment, other than $1.7-million, for the State of New Hampshire taxpayers. I do not believe we should be accepting anything less.

from preceding page pleaded guilty last month and will testify against the other four — who attempted to detonate what they thought was an improvised explosive device intended to blow up a local bridge and take the lives of untold commuters across the Cuyahoga River. Media apologists have gone out of their way to minimize the severity of the plot and to enable Occupy organizers to distance themselves from their violent anarchist members. In the warped world of James Rainey, MSNBC Neanderthals and
George Soros operatives, every conservative is a rightwing terrorist. But there are no left-wing terrorists — only misguided kids whose social justice agenda simply went awry.

MEREDITH — After failing to persuade the Belknap County Commissioners to reconsider their decision to decline an offer from the state to purchase the former Laconia State School property, Representative Bob Greemore (R-Meredith) has joined the ranks of those who doubt the state should sell the property at all, and certainly for not less than its book value of $11-million. In a letter printed on page 5 of today’s edition of the Laconia Daily Sun, Greemore writes that although the state carries the property on its books for $11-million, it was offered to the county for $1.76-million, less than its appraised value of $2.16-million. He contends that the commission passed on the offer because “the majority of the commissioners owe their allegiance to the City of Laconia” and claims that when he asked the county delegation to consider the issue, he was met with “hostility and disrespectful remarks” by the commissioners. After arranging for the county delegation to tour the property with state officials of the Department of Administrative Services, Greemore implies that a majority concluded that the property should not be sold to the

city for its appraised value or to the county for its discounted price, which reflects the fact that the city leases three of the four tax parcels on offer until 2099. Instead Greemore recommends that the state retain the property in anticipation of putting it to some future use or selling for a price that would recoup its investment in the site. Representative Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), majority leader of the New Hampshire House of Representatives , and Senator Jim Rausch (R-Derry) have both taken similar positions. Following the decision of the county commission, the legislation enacted in 2011 requiring the sale of the property directs the Department of Administrative Services place the site on the open market by preparing a marketing plan and issuing a request for proposals. The Legislature directed the property to be sold by May 1, 2013. Once the property is on the market, city officials intend to renew their effort to purchase the site by resubmitting their bid of $2.16-million. The transaction requires the approval of the Governor and Executive Council. Executive Councilor Ray Burton, whose district includes Laconia, has expressed his willingness to approve a sale to the city at its offering price.

A story about this weekend’s Belknap County 4-H Fair in Belmont that was published on Friday included incorrect information about the price of general admission and about the price of carnival rides. The price of general admission on both Saturday (9 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Sunday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) is $7. Children under
12 are admitted free. There is a carnival at the fair this year but there is no connection between the general admission price and the cost of carnival rides. Once on the fair grounds, patrons may purchase ride tickets, separately, from the carnival company itself.
BURGLARY from page one met up with a female waiting in the driveway, later identified as Emily Bundy, 27, also of 251 Main St. in Tilton, and ran down the road. Northfield Police set up a perimeter along the Winnipesaukee River Trail and located the two suspects. Fiske allegedly assaulted one the officers and fled into the woods. Police took Bundy into custody without incident and recovered a backpack that had some of the items the victim reported stolen. While Northfield Police were in the process of pursuing Fiske and Bundy, residents of a home on Hodgdon Road reported their home had been burglarized. Hodgdon road intersects with Cross Mill Road.
Bundy refused bail and is being held in the Merrimack County Jail pending an appearance in N.H. 6th Circuit court, Franklin Division Monday morning. She is charged with two counts of burglary, one count of criminal liability to burglary, and breach of bail. Fiske remained at-large as of press time on Friday night. He is wanted for Burglary, receiving stolen property, possession of a controlled drug, resisting arrest, and assault on a police officer. Police said Fiske has a long criminal history and should be considered dangerous. Anyone with information about Fiske’s whereabouts is asked to call the Northfield Police Department at 286-8514.

DOT officials meeting with Gilford selectmen about dangerous intersection GILFORD — Representatives from the state Department of Transportation will join selectmen at a public information session regarding possible improvements to the intersection of Route 11A and Schoolhouse Hill Road in the Gilford Village Center. The meeting is scheduled for August 22 at 7 p.m. The DOT has identified the intersection as being in the top 100 most dangerous intersections in the state. Police said it has been the site of many accidents including one fatality in February of 2010. The village intersection was identified on the “five percent report” of the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program, which requires states to submit an annual report describ-
ing not less than five percent of their highway locations exhibiting the most severe safety needs. It is also referred to as the transparency report. In March of 2011, representatives from the DOT met with selectmen and presented the findings of an audit performed in October of 2010 that included information from 2002 to 2009. During that period, DOT auditors said the Gilford Police had 21 “reportable” incidents at the intersection and four more in 2010 - including the fatal crash. During the March 2011 meeting, DOT representatives told selectmen they recommend trimming the tree canopy that overhands Schoolhouse Hill Road and installing a sign on Schoolhouse Hill Road warning people of the upcoming intersection.
In exchange the DOT would said it should remove a tree and relocate a retaining wall near Schoolhouse Hill Road and clear the vegetation for the northeast corner of the intersection. Representatives from the DOT also said some consideration should be given to lowering the grade on the Laconia side approach on Cherry Valley Road and relocating a guardrail on the Gunstock side of Cherry Valley Road. The DOT also recommended rumble strips but selectmen said they didn’t favor those because of the noise. In a letter sent by selectmen to the DOT, selectmen said they would like to see the DOT paint the 35 mph speed limit in both travel lanes alone Route 11A and paint markings in the road warning of the reduced speed zone. Selectmen agreed to having the police
step up enforcement through the area. Selectmen also suggested that if the above suggestions don’t achieve the safety results both sides seek, the DOT should consider installing a traffic median and, as a last resort, a traffic light at the intersection. Selectboard Chair Gus Benavides said yesterday the DOT is returning to the August 22 meeting of the selectmen to present their final recommendations. At that point, he said the town has not set aside any money for any work in the intersection and selectmen expect the DOT representatives will appraise them at the meeting if there are any state or federal funds available. The public is encouraged to attend this session. The meeting begin at 7 p.m. in the conference room at Gilford Town Offices.
NEIGHBORS from page one Frost Shumway presented plans for the project to the Planning Board last week nearly two dozen residents packed the city council chambers to express concerns and raise questions about the impact of relocating the football field further to the east and constructing a new field. The plan calls for radically altering the terrain east of the football field by removing much of the hill and creating two terraces stretching from the rear of the school building to the far side of Bobotas Field. The first 350 feet between the school building and first
terrace would be divided between a parking lot with spaces for 140 vehicles and a green space of 35,000-square-feet. A berm would divide the parking area and green space from the first terrace, which would hold the football field. A second playing field would be sited on the second terrace. Residents of Morrill Street were asked about the future of the lot owned by the city between the residences at 42 and 54 Morrill Street, which includes a right-of-way to the school campus. The right-of-way will be used during construction and when the project is complete will serve as an emergency exit
from the campus, which will be gated when not in use. The emergency road will cross the campus, passing between the two playing fields, from Morrill Street and will be gated at both ends. Residents were also concerned that grading required to construct the emergency road and the second playing field would affect drainage in the area. Bobotas Field will be graded and filled to construct the field while the slopes to the south, which border the emergency road, will be loomed and seeded. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that the drainage study indicates that once the project is complete run-off from the site during 5,
25 and 100 year storms will be reduced. Saunders said that a handful of residents on Shephard Street, a cul-de-sac running east from Isabella Street, and Morrill Street have been advised that they have been encroaching on the unfenced abutting property to north owned by the city, which will be redeveloped in the course of the project. “This is our fifth project,” Champlin said, referring to improvements at the three elementary schools and the reconstruction of the middle school. “In each case we have reached out to our neighbors and made every effort to address whatever concerns they have had.”

Through Lakes Conservation Corps, students get close-up view of milfoil battle By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The five students from Laconia High School enrolled in the Lakes Conservation Corps program this summer got a first hand look at the latest methods of controlling variable milfoil, the invasive aquatic plant choking lakes and ponds, on the shore of Lake Opechee this week. The six-week program is administered by the New Hampshire Lakes Association in partnership with the Laconia School District and funded with a grant from the Samuel P. Pardoe Foundation. Students are introduced to the stewardship of natural resources by undertaking projects to ensure the quality of surface waters by restoring and enhancing shorelines and watersheds. This year Robert DeMoule, Danielle Daub, Marissa Wiltshire, Janessa Mingo and Shelby Robertson, all of whom participated in the program last year returned for a second stint. Wiltshire said they have spent part of their time as “Lake Hosts,” checking vessels for scraps of milfoil at the boat launches on Water Street and Messer Street in Laconia as well as at Glendale in Gilford. They have also been what Robertson called “gardening” by planting vegetative buffers to forestall erosion of shorelines and ran gardens to capture stormwater. The students devote 20 hours a week to the program, working five hours a day for four days. They are paid for their time. Five of the 20 hours are spent learning about natural resources and how to conserve and protect them. Deb Williams, a paraeducator at Laconia Middle School who works with the students, said “we want to educate this generation about all the beauty around them.” She said that she was especially encouraged that the current crop of students chose to pursue the program for a second year. “Whether they want to come,” she said. “That’s how I judge. We have a real good group.” This week milfoil was on the curriculum and the students spent a morning with John Jude of Aqua-

logic, a Gilford firm that employs hand and suction harvesting to control the growth and spread of milfoil. Jude brought his pontoon boat, rigged to support divers and harvest milfoil, to Lake Opechee. He described how divers, using the machinery on the boat, removed milfoil by suction harvesting milfoil then took the students on to the lake where he and his divers began mapping and marking the infested
Time editor-at-large apologizes for borrowing phrases about gun control from New Yorker essay NEW YORK (AP) — Time editor-at-large and CNN host Fareed Zakaria has been suspended by both the magazine and the network for lifting several paragraphs by another writer for his use in a recent Time column. Zakaria apologized Friday, declaring in a statement he made “a terrible mistake,” adding, “It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault.” In a separate statement, Time spokesman Ali Zelenko said the magazine accepts Zakaria’s apology, but would suspend his column for one month, “pending further review.” “What he did violates our own standards for our columnists, which is that their work must not only be factual but original; their views must not only be their own but their words as well,” Zelenko said. Shortly afterward, CNN said it had removed from the network’s website a blog post that “included similar unattributed excerpts,” and taken Zakaria off the air indefinitely. “CNN has suspended Fareed Zakaria while this matter is under review,” said CNN spokeswoman Jennifer Dargan. She said Zakaria’s Sunday foreign-affairs program, “GPS,” will have its time slots
filled in the interim by “Your Money with Ali Veshi” and “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.” Earlier Friday, media reporters had called attention to similarities between passages in Zakaria’s column about gun control that appeared in Time’s Aug. 20 issue, and paragraphs from an article on the same subject by Harvard University history professor Jill Lepore published in April in The New Yorker magazine. In Zakaria’s column, titled “The Case for Gun Control,” he began one paragraph with the sentences: “Adam Winkler, a professor of constitutional law at UCLA, documents the actual history in ‘Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America.’ Guns were regulated in the U.S. from the earliest years of the Republic.” A corresponding passage in Lepore’s New Yorker essay, titled “Battleground America,” begins: “As Adam Winkler, a constitutional-law scholar at U.C.L.A., demonstrates in a remarkably nuanced new book, ‘Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America,’ firearms have been regulated in the United States from the start.” In Zakaria’s statement, he apologized “unreservedly” to Lepore, as well as to his editors and readers.
WACO, Texas (AP) — Naser Jason Abdo sat alone in court with his hands shackled and a white cloth secured over his mouth and neck. The soldier who went AWOL and plotted to kill other troops outside a Texas Army post remained defiant Friday as he was sentenced to life in prison, not asking for mercy and vowing to never end what he considers his holy war. “I will continue until the day the dead are called to
account for their deeds,” Abdo said in a low, gravelly voice through the cloth mask. A federal judge sentenced Abdo, 22, to two life terms plus additional time. The federal prison system offers no chance of parole. He was convicted of planning what he claimed would have been a massive attack on a Texas restaurant filled with troops from Fort Hood. see ABDO page 12

areas. Jude is among several contractors bidding for a contract let by the Lake Opechee Preservation Association. The lake was treated with a chemical herbicide — 2, 4 D — in 2010, but milfoil has returned this year. “We’re learning how to keep our lakes clean,” said Mingo, who added that she has enjoyed being around the water during a very hot summer. AFGHANISTAN from page 2 after a joint meal and a security meeting. The meal took place before dawn because of Ramadan, the month in which Muslims abstain from food during daylight hours. Compared to the 25 attacks this year that have killed 31 foreign troops, there were 11 such attacks and 20 deaths in 2011, according to an Associated Press count. Each of the previous two years saw five such attacks. The NATO coalition says it takes the rise in “green-on-blue” attacks seriously but insists they are not a sign of trouble for the plan to hand over security to Afghan forces. “We are confident that those isolated incidents will have no effect on transition or on the quality of our forces,” said Brig. Gen. Gunter Katz, a spokesman for NATO troops. White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama remains committed to his timeline to transfer the security lead to Afghan forces by the end of 2013. “It is too early to say this latest incident is part of a stepped-up effort by insurgents,” Carney said Friday. But he added that the administration considers the attacks serious and that U.S. commanders are evaluating Taliban tactics. On Tuesday, two gunmen wearing Afghan army uniforms killed a U.S. soldier and wounded two others in Paktia province in the east. And on Thursday, two Afghan soldiers tried to gun down a group of NATO troops outside a military base in eastern Afghanistan. No international forces died, but one of the attackers was killed as NATO forces shot back. Last year, a U.S. Army team led by a behavioral scientist produced a 70-page survey that revealed both Afghan and American soldiers hold disturbingly negative perceptions of the other. According to the survey, many Afghan security personnel found U.S. troops “extremely arrogant, bullying and unwilling to listen to their advice” and sometimes lacking concern about Afghans’ safety in combat. They accused the Americans of ignoring female privacy and using denigrating names for Afghans.

Democratic U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen put into place. “Twenty years ago we had competition,” Smith said. “Now we have only two insurers.” Describing the soaring costs of health insurance as a “ticking time bomb for small business” he said the “one-size-fits-all” approach to health insurance in the state is unsustainable for the future and said he would like to see more flexible plans become available. Smith said he is concerned that New Hampshire now has the third oldest population in the country, higher even than Florida. He said the aging population means a smaller labor pool and employers want and need an educated and vibrant labor pool from which to hire employees. “After our students graduate they leave and we need to stop this,” Smith said. He said he would promote partnerships with schools, businesses and government to bring New Hampshire in to the 21st Century and would start with making it possible to register a company online and teach skills that employers need. As to the key issue of Right-To-Work, Smith said when he served in the N.H. state house he “voted for the Right-To-Work before it was cool.” He said he is not supportive of the Northern Pass as it is proposed. “The original program [Northern Pass proposal] should be off the table,” he said.
SIMMON from p. one and Israel, believes the Palestinian people – Christian and Muslim alike – are being treated like secondclass citizens in a country that is supposed to be their own. They are, she feels, caught in a tug of war between hard-line Israeli politics on the one hand and the militant Arab terrorist groups on the other. The observations gathered from her visit convinced her that the vast majority of Palestinians are law-abiding citizens, but are nevertheless oppressed and harassed, largely by Israeli authorities, as if they were to the last person vicious revoluJanet Simmon of Laconia is pictured at left at the Tent of Nations.

GILFORD — Republican candidate for governor Kevin Smith told a group of supporters that New Hampshire needs a long-range vision for business prosperity and needs to stop managing the state on a “crisis to crisis” basis. “We need to make New Hampshire the most economically competitive state by 2020,” Smith said in a house party last night sponsored by Barbara Eichinger. Smith, who is vying with Ovide Lamontagne for the GOP spot on the November ticket, said New Hampshire is the fifth most expensive state in which to do business and he would fix that by lowering the corporate tax rate to five percent and lowering the business enterprise tax - a tax based on payroll - to 2 1/2 percent over the next seven years. He also said he would support an exemption for businesses who are not making a profit. Using the $122-million dollar cooling facility mandated by the federal government for a power plant in Bow as an example, he said as governor he would push back on regulations from the federal Environmental Protection Agency that keep the cost of energy so high in the state. He also said he would work to lower the costs of health insurance in by rolling back some of the mandates created that former Governor and current

HOLMES from page 2 University of Colorado officials have declined to release Holmes’ records, citing a Colorado judge’s gag order that does not apply to other states. Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 in the attack during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie. Holmes attorneys say he is mentally ill. Letters, his resume and a personal statement written by Holmes paint a picture a bright student
who was committed to pursuing a career as cognitive neuroscientist. “Researching learning and memory interests me because these are the very cognitive processes which enable us to acquire information and retain it,” he wrote in his personal statement. “They are at the core of what distinguishes us as people.” In recommendation letters, Holmes is described as
from preceding page Simmon has become personally interested in the plight of the Palestinians since becoming friends with Mazin and Jesse Quimsiyeh who live in the Palestinian Territories. Simmon was introduced to Mazin, who formerly taught at Yale, through a mutual friend who teaches at UNH. Simmon, who moved to Laconia from the Washington, D.C., area three years ago and is now co-chairman of Laconia’s Multicultural Market Day, visited the Middle East in May as part of tour organized by Interfaith Peace-Builders, a non-sectarian group which seeks to promote a broader understanding of the tensions in the Middle East by through face-toface contact with those immersed in the reality of the conflict – Arabs, Christians and Jews. Simmon’s group was made up of people from many different faith communities – eight Christians, eight Jews, and one Buddhist. Just how intractable the sectarian tensions in the Middle East are was illustrated by an incident right after the group got off the plane at the airport in Tel Aviv. An American woman in the group with an Arab name and whose grandfather is a Palestinian was taken away by Israel authorities and interrogated, Simmon said. When the woman called the American consulate for help she was told consular officials would not intervene on her behalf because she was not Jewish. The woman never left the airport, but was quickly put on a flight back to the U.S. “She was a Quaker for Pete’s sake,” said Simmon. “She was not going to hurt anyone.” For Palestinians, life is much more of a challenge. Simmon said they are at the mercy of Israeli laws which restrict where they can go, where they can receive medical care, even how they can obtain water.
“They can’t draw water from wells. They are not even allowed to collect rain water,” said Simmon. “The only way they can get water is to go out and buy it.” Walls are continually being put up in the Territories, usually with an eye toward greater security for Israelis living in Jewish settlements that are scattered throughout the Territories. A result, says Simmon, is that many Palestinians are unable to go from their homes to stores, or schools because the walls are blocking the way. She said that the walls prevent some Palestinians from earning a livelihood and it is incredibly difficult for Palestinians to get permission to build a house and those that have a house live in constant fear that the authorities will come and tear it down. “They’re building this wall and tearing people’s homes down. How does that promote peace?” she said. Simmon said the Jewish people she talked to have different views on the situation. She said one woman she spoke to, who had personally lived through various militant attacks, felt the way Palestinians are being treated is wrong. However, she also met a Jewish man who felt Arabs have no place in Jewish state. Since returning from her visit, Simmon has written letters to the editor describing her impressions and has even written letters to President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and members of Congress. She said the response she has received from officials in Washington has been disappointing, “They think that the only choice is to send more money to Israel. That’s not the answer. My tax dollars are destroying people,” she said. Asked whether she had yet to share her thoughts and feelings with Jewish people in the U.S. she knows, she replied, “I need to get to the point to where I’m able to talk about it without getting upset.”

from preceding page being in the top 1 percent of his honors classes with a cumulative grade point average of 3.949. “He takes an active role in his education, and brings a great amount of intellectual and emotional maturity into the classroom,” one recommendation letter reads. “James received excellent evaluations from the professors and graduate students with whom he worked and was mentored.” Another letter describes him as “a very effective group leader” on assignments. That description is a stark contrast to his demeanor in court, where he seems dazed, looking straight ahead and avoiding eye contact with those sitting in the courtroom.

As part of his application, Holmes submitted a picture of himself standing next to a llama. It’s unclear whether he submitted the photo as a way to make his application stand out, but it seemed to work. Samuel Beshers, neuroscience program coordinator, referred to Holmes as “llama” in emails. Beshers did not return a message left at the school. “Your personal and professional qualities are truly outstanding,” and “you will be an excellent match for our program,” read the letter accepting Holmes into the program after the school paid his travel expenses for a visit. At least two researchers were vying for Holmes to join their laboratories, and the school offered him a stipend $22,600 per year and free tuition.

ABDO from page 8 In court, Abdo referred to Maj. Nidal Hasan — the Army psychiatrist soon to be tried in a deadly shooting rampage at that Army post — as “my brother.” He said he lived in Hasan’s shadow despite “efforts to outdo him.” Abdo became a Muslim at age 17. Outside court, prosecutor Mark Frazier said Abdo had come close to carrying out the attack. U.S. Attorney Robert Pitman compared the plot to recent mass shootings at a movie theatre near Denver and a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee. “In the wake of the tragic events in Colorado and Wisconsin, this is yet another reminder that there are those among us who would use or plan to use violence to advance their twisted agenda,” Pitman said. Arguing for a life sentence, Frazier had said Abdo still presented a threat. Abdo’s mouth was covered in court, Frazier said, because he had earlier spat his own blood at agents believing he was infected with HIV. That belief turned out to be wrong.
“He felt it was his duty to take lives, even after incarceration,” Frazier told the court. Abdo was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky., when he was arrested with bomb-making materials last summer at a Fort Hood-area motel. A federal jury convicted him in May on six charges, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Abdo also was found guilty of attempted murder of U.S. officers or employees and four counts of possessing a weapon in furtherance of a federal crime of violence. Representing himself, Abdo told the court how his effort to become a conscientious objector led him to Fort Hood. He grew up in Garland, Texas, and enlisted in the military in 2009 thinking the service would not conflict with his religious beliefs. But as his unit neared deployment, the private first class applied for conscientious objector status, writing in a letter that accompanied his application that he wasn’t sure “whether going to war was the right thing to do Islamically.”
SYRIA from page one ia’s alliance with Hezbollah — and with the group’s patrons in Iran — means the conflict has the potential to escalate dramatically. In one sign of how the conflict can drag in Lebanon, rebels in the town of Azaz are holding 11 Lebanese Shiite pilgrims seized on a road nearby months ago. The head of the Azaz rebels’ Political Office, Samir Hajj Omar, said Friday the prisoners would be released only if Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah apologizes to the Syrian people for supporting Assad. “He has been brutal against the Syrian revolution and the Syrian people in his speeches, so we just want an apology from him,” he said in an interview in Azaz, about 35 kilometers (22 miles) northwest of Aleppo by the Turkish border. He said interrogations by rebels had revealed that four of the prisoners are connected to Hezbollah and one is related to Nasrallah. Those claims could not be independently verified. Mohammed Nour, head of the town’s media office, said rebels had stopped their bus nearby and let the women traveling with them go. Nour initially said some of the men were found to have Hezbollah ID cards. Hezbollah is very secretive about who plays a military role in the organization and does not issue ID cards.
Later, Nour said, the rebels realized that the men were indeed pilgrims returning from Iran, as they had claimed. Asked what the men had done wrong to merit being detained for so long, Omar said it was payback over “Nasrallah’s loyalty to the Syrian regime.” “What did the Syrian people do wrong?” he said. The relentless violence triggered a fresh wave of civilians streaming across the border into neighboring Turkey. Turkish officials said more than 1,500 Syrians arrived over the past 24 hours, increasing the number of refugees in Turkey to about 51,500. Rebels control several border crossings into Turkey. At least one of them, Bab al-Salama, near Azaz, is operating normally, with Turkish officials on the other side stamping passports for people passing into Syria. The regime has been trying for more than two weeks to drive rebels out of Aleppo, which has a population of about 3 million. The state news agency claimed Wednesday that Assad’s forces had regained control of the Salaheddine neighborhood, the main rebel area in Aleppo. But activists said rebels were still putting up a fight there on Friday despite being low on ammunition. Aleppo holds great symbolic and strategic importance. Some 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Turkish border, it has been a pillar of regime support during the uprising against the Assad regime. An opposition victory there would allow easier access for weapons and fighters from Turkey, where many rebels are based. An Aleppo-based activist said government forces were shelling rebel-controlled areas in the southwestern part of Aleppo and in the northeast. Towns and villages in Aleppo suburbs were “at the mercy” of fighter jets and helicopters strafing the area, he said. “Soon there will be nothing left to destroy in Aleppo. ... The regime is using air power without shame,” he said, asking that his name not be used out of fear for his personal safety.

Felix, Jeter help US break 1985 record in 4x100 LONDON (AP) — Eyeing the trackside clock as she approached the finish line, Carmelita Jeter pointed the black baton in her left hand at those bright orange numbers. She wanted to make sure everyone saw what she saw: The United States was breaking the world record in the women’s 4x100-meter relay — and it wasn’t even close. Allyson Felix, Tianna Madison and Bianca Knight built a big lead, and Jeter brought it home Friday night, anchoring the U.S. to its first Olympic gold medal in the sprint relay since 1996 with a time of 40.82, more than a half-second better than a record that had stood for 27 years. “As I’m running, I’m looking at the clock and seeing this time that’s like 37, 38, 39. In my heart, I said, ‘We just did it!’ I definitely knew we ran well,” Jeter said. “When I crossed the finish line, I had so many emotions because we haven’t been able to get the gold medal back to the U.S.” Felix collected her second gold of the London Games, along with the one she won in the 200 meters, while Jeter completed a set, adding to her silver in the 100 and bronze in the 200. “I just knew if we had clean baton passes that we would definitely challenge the world record. Smash it like we did? We had no idea,” Madison said, “but I knew it was in us.” The American quartet erased the old mark of 41.37 run by East Germany in October 1985. Here’s how long ago that was: Jeter was 5, Madison was a month old, and Felix and Knight weren’t even born. “It’s an absolutely unreal feeling. It just feels like for so long, we looked at women’s sprints and the records were so out of reach. To look up and see we had a world record, it was just crazy,” said Felix, who gets a shot at a third gold in the 4x400 final Saturday. “I didn’t think that was going to happen.” Jamaica won the silver medal in a national record of 41.41 seconds, with a team of 100 champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 100 bronze medalist Veronica CampbellBrown, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart. “All their girls are in top shape this year. You can’t say they didn’t deserve it. They prepared for it and they came out here and they delivered,” FraserPryce said. “For us, it’s back to the drawing board.” The bronze went to the Ukraine in 42.04. Madison ran the opening leg, and Felix the second. Then, with Knight approaching for the final handoff, Jeter took nine strides, reached her hand back and took a perfect exchange. Jeter was staring at the clock as she covered the final 10 meters — and she jutted the stick in that direction. “I saw the huge lead that we have, and I looked up on the board and saw the time flash, and I was so confused,” Felix said. “I was like, ‘That is not a 4x100 time.’ I was waiting, and then I saw the world record, and I was like, ‘This is insane.’ It was just a
beautiful thing to see. As soon as Bianca passed to ‘Jet,’ it was done.” Afterward, the quartet of champions paused to watch a replay of their record performance on the scoreboard at 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium. When Jeter was shown crossing the finish line, Knight punched the air. The perfect trip around the track ended a string of disappointments for the U.S. in the event. In Athens eight years ago, Lauryn Williams was involved in a bad exchange in the final, leaving her team without a medal. In Beijing four years ago, the Americans didn’t even reach the final because Torri Edwards and Williams bobbled the last exchange in the semifinals. That marked the first time since 1948 that the U.S. wasn’t involved in the women’s 4x100 medal race at the Summer Games. This time they were back in the final — and now they’re champions again, too. “It’s a relief. It’s a joy. It’s everything,” Felix said. “We went into this race and it was the most comfortable I’ve seen this team. We were laughing and smiling. We’ve never been like that. We were confident. We felt good. We were confident in the passes, and it showed.” And Williams even gets a gold medal this time, because she ran a leg in Thursday’s semifinal. “Talking about the ‘botched handoff’ is history now,” Madison said. “She has completely obliterated that from her record.” The U.S. performance was part of a speedy night on the track, even if Usain Bolt wasn’t around: The U.S. and Jamaica turned in two of the five fastest men’s 4x100 relays in history to set up a showdown in Saturday’s final. And in the 4x400, Ramon Miller of the Bahamas overtook Angelo Taylor of the United States to give his country its first men’s Olympic gold medal in any sport. Miller powered Bahamas to a time of 2:56.72, 0.33 seconds better than the U.S., which had won that event at every Olympics since 1984. Trinidad and Tobago took third. The United States was missing three injured runners, including Manteo Mitchell, who finished out his preliminary lap Thursday on a broken leg and was there to watch Friday, leaning on crutches. “Without him, this wouldn’t be possible,” said Tony McQuay, Mitchell’s roommate in the athletes village. “He held it down for the USA. Sorry we couldn’t give him the gold.” The South African team finished last, falling way behind before double-amputee Oscar Pistorius even got his hands on the baton for the anchor leg. In the 4x100 semifinals, dash bronze medalist Justin Gatlin ran the anchor leg as the Americans broke a 20-year-old national record by finishing in 37.38 seconds. The old mark of 37.40 was initially established in 1992 with Carl Lewis on the last leg, and later equaled.

Buchholz shuts down Indians in 2-hit performance CLEVELAND (AP) — Clay Buchholz gave the Boston Red Sox a quick cure with a two-hit, complete-game victory. Buchholz pitched a two-hitter, Cody Ross hit a two-run homer, and the Red Sox broke a three-game losing streak by beating the Cleveland Indians 3-2 on Friday night. But this win didn’t come without a cost for the Red Sox as hot-hitting rookie Will Middlebrooks was sent for X-rays after being hit by a pitch. Middlebrooks was hurt after Ross hit a two-run homer to support Buchholz’s masterful effort. Boston had already done enough to secure the victory. “Just what the doctor ordered,” manager Bobby Valentine said of Buchholz’s performance. “He was terrific. He was excellent. He was in control the whole way.” Middlebrooks left in the ninth after being struck in the right wrist by Esmil Rogers. Valentine hopes the third baseman, batting .288 with 15 homers and 54 RBIs, isn’t lost for long. “He got hit pretty good,” Valentine said. “He was in a lot of pain. I don’t think he’s in there (Saturday). I was hoping it got more meat, but it was straight on the bone.” Buchholz (10-3) gave up one earned run in his second complete game this season and fifth of his career. The right-hander improved to 8-2 in 17 starts following a loss the last two years. “Everybody wants to win every night,” Buchholz said of being a skid stopper. “When you do it, sure it feels good.” Ross broke a 1-1 tie with a 420-foot shot over the wall in center field off Chris Seddon (0-1) in the sixth. Asdrubal Cabrera had both Cleveland hits, including his 13th homer, but the Indians had their twogame winning streak broken and lost for the 12th time in 14 games. “That’s the best I’ve seen a guy against us, and we’ve seen some pretty good pitching this year,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “We couldn’t do anything. He was way too good mixing his pitches.” Buchholz said he threw two types of changeups, a curve, and spotted his fastball on both sides of the plate. He hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in five consecutive starts, the longest streak by a Boston starter since Tim Wakefield did it six times in a row in 2002. Buchholz didn’t get a decision in three of those outings, however. The right-hander gave up Cabrera’s one-out homer in the first and an unearned run in the sixth.
He struck out six, walked none, and moved to 6-1 with a 2.08 ERA in 11 starts since May 27. The Red Sox tied it at 1 with an unearned run in the fourth. Mike Aviles drew a one-out walk and advanced to third on a wild pickoff throw by Seddon. Dustin Pedroia singled Aviles home. The Indians twice robbed Jacoby Ellsbury of potential hits as they preserved the 1-1 tie. In the fourth, left fielder Ezequiel Carrera dove to his left to snag a line drive hit by Ellsbury in the left-center gap. In the fifth, center fielder Michael Brantley raced in and slid along his stomach to take away a potential bloop hit. Pedroia singled with one out in the sixth. One out later, Ross connected for his 18th homer that made it 3-1. “It was a slider,” Seddon said. “I should have bounced it. I didn’t bounce it and he hit it.” Cleveland got an unearned run in the bottom half. Jason Donald reached third as Boston made two errors on his leadoff grounder up the middle. Pedroia got in front of the ball, which skipped off his glove. The shortstop Aviles tracked down the ball in short center, and threw to first as Donald made a wide turn with the idea of trying for second. He ended up walking to third when Aviles’ throw bounced over the Boston dugout. Donald scored on Carrera’s sacrifice fly to make it 3-2. Seddon allowed five hits and two earned runs in six innings in his second start since Cleveland purchased the left-hander’s contract from Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 5. NOTES: Boston LHP Felix Doubront will miss his next start, and RHP Aaron Cook will start Wednesday against Baltimore. Valentine said Doubront’s velocity has been down, and he might be helped by skipping a start. ... OF Scott Podsednik, signed by Boston before the game, started in left. He was traded to Arizona on July 31, but was released after declining an assignment to the minors. ... OF Ryan Sweeney (broken hand) was moved to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Podsednik on the 40-man roster. ... Indians DH Travis Hafner, on the DL with a bulging disc in his back, had an injection to relieve inflammation. There is no timetable for his return. ... Cleveland released ex-Boston RHP Derek Lowe, who had been designated for assignment on Aug. 2. ... Valentine said DH David Ortiz (sore heel) likely won’t be healthy enough to be activated Sunday. ... Red Sox RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (back) gave up two runs over 4 2-3 innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Pawtucket.
LONDON (AP) — Dwight Howard held some of the championship trophies in the Los Angeles Lakers’ facility Friday, the first act of the next phase of his NBA career. “Making some wishes,” Howard said. One of his wishes has finally come true. At long last, he’s out of Orlando. It took four teams, 11 other players, five draft picks and countless rounds of talks over many months, but the Orlando Magic decided the time was right to start over without the NBA’s best center and end a saga that has dogged the franchise for what seems like an eternity. Howard is off to play alongside Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, after a megadeal involving the Lakers, Magic, Philadelphia and Denver was worked out Thursday and completed Friday after the NBA reviewed and approved the particulars. “It was just a very tough situation for everybody to let go,” Howard said. “I’m finally glad that it’s over with. Myself and the Magic organization, we can all start over and begin a new career. Today is a fresh new start for all of us.” As far as the other headliners involved, Andrew Bynum leaves the Lakers for Philadelphia and Andre Iguodala is heading to Denver. “Are we taking a step back? Absolutely, we are,” Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. “But
we’re taking a step back with a vision.” Even while otherwise busy at the London Olympics, Bryant quickly proclaimed that the Lakers are “locked and loaded to bring back the title.” He spoke with Howard on Friday morning, and interrupted his pursuit of a gold medal — the Americans will play for another of those Sunday — to talk about how the Lakers look very much like a major contender for another NBA title. “I’ll probably play two or three more years. Then the team is his,” Bryant said. “I’m excited for the franchise because now they have a player that can carry the franchise well after I’m gone. This should be his and he should want to accept that challenge.” Time will tell. Howard, who may not be ready for the start of the season while continuing to recover from back surgery that he had performed in Los Angeles four months ago, plans to become a free agent next July. He could stay with the Lakers. He could end up in Dallas, which should have oodles of cap space. Maybe the Brooklyn Nets — one of Howard’s preferred destinations throughout this saga — find a way into the mix again. “I told him this is a great place for him,” Bryant said. “You talk about all the great centers this team has had. Now he’s the next in line.”

LACONIA — Submissions and winning entries of the 2012 New Hampshire Chapter/American Institute of Architecture (AIANH) Excellence in Architecture Design Awards program are now on exhibit at The Busiel Community Room and Gallery in the Busiel Mill (also known as One Mill Plaza) in downtown Laconia. The Busiel Community Room and Gallery is located on the bottom floor of the Busiel Mill. The exhibit will be running from now until August 31, and is open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The AIANH Excellence in Architecture Awards Program was instituted in 1983 for the purpose of providing public and professional recognition for architectural projects of design excellence by New Hampshire architects. Each entry is judged on the following criteria: overall design excellence including aesthetics, clarity, creativity, appropriate functionality, sustainability, building performance, and appropriateness with regard to fulfilling the
client’s program. A jury of architects from Seattle, WA, determined the winners of the 2012 competition.

Primeau was a Scout as a youth and is an Eagle Scout. “I am excited to help lead an organization Mark Primeau (Courtesy that prepares young photo) people to be engaged citizens and productive members of society,” Primeau said. “Scouting’s aims of character development, citizenship training and personal fitness are needed today more than ever before.” Primeau follows the Hon. Gerard Boyle as council president. Council Advisory Board Member Ovide Lamontagne served as the chairman for the council’s nominating committee that recommended Primeau
for the position. “Mark was an excellent choice to serve as the president of one of the state’s largest youth-serving not-for-profits. I look forward to working very closely with him and the rest of the executive board to ensure that Scouting is available to every youth that wants to participate,” said Michael Kaufman, CEO of the Daniel Webster Council. In addition to Scouting, Primeau is the director and treasurer of the New Hampshire Bankers Association and a trustee of LRGHealthcare, among other appointments.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
The Lakes Region Real Estate Horoscope The residential home inventory level bumped up an inch from 1,328 homes available on July 1 to 1,351 available as of August 1 at an average asking price of $491,503. The median price point is at $259,900. The current inventory level represents a 20 month supply of homes on the market. We are down, however, from the 1,412 homes available on August 1, 2011. I continually strive to bring you the latest, up to date real estate market data, info on good deals, real estate insights, and sometimes utterly useless dribble. I thought I would present a much needed and, amazingly, never before seen Real Estate Horoscope. Following this sage advice, which is scientifically based on your astrological sign, will surely lead you to a better and much happier real estate transaction and life. Aries (March 21 - April 19) You are enthusiastic and optimistic about finding your new home, but you should realize that this can be a long process so don’t become moody and impatient when the search drags on a little. You tend to be impulsive, so listen to what your real estate agent says about values and you will be rewarded. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) While selling your home has been a bit of a marathon event, your patience and persistence will pay off handsomely for you. A new buyer is waiting in the wings. While you do not like change use it to your advantage to buy the upscale home and create the lifestyle you have always wanted. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Although you are very independent and energetic you can also be somewhat superficial and indecisive. Those weak traits can be countered with the help of a real estate agent. Try and focus solely on the task at hand: the search for your new home. Doing so will dramatically shorten your time line to success. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You have overcome your fear and entrusted the sale of your home to an experienced real estate agent. Completion of the recommended improvements to your property will undoubtedly be swift and provide positive results. While you are overly sensitive to criticism about your home, a continued trust in your agent will prove to be the shield you needed. Leo (July 23 - August 22) You are never one to settle for second best especially when it comes to buying property. You are confident that you can get your new home at a greatly discounted price. However, you must remember that you are not in total control of this situation, the seller has the final say in what he will accept for his property. Avoid being melodramatic about it and you could have a home fit for the king of the jungle. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You are highly observant and analytical, so much so that you may over analyze every home you wish to purchase and never find one that is suitable. Let the professional
home inspectors be the judge of the structure and focus on the feel of the home. Learn to trust and have faith in the unknown and a new home will be entrusted to you. Libra (September 23 - October 22) Balance is key. Buying a fixer upper and rehabbing the property may be the best choice for you. You may be somewhat indecisive, but your intuitive instincts will tell you what and when to purchase and how to turn a significant profit on the resale. Focus on upscale properties, they suit you better. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You are one that always gets what you want and so it is in the case of your next home purchase. While you feel you must be in control of every situation you may not find that practical when buying a home. Your tendencies toward manipulation could backfire. In the end you will, as always, be successful and purchase the home you always wanted. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) You like to put all your cards on the table and don’t like playing mind games, however, that can cost you money in real estate. Listen to your REALTOR® with respect to the offer you will receive soon on your property. Your emotional detachment from your home makes you the perfect seller. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You are fiercely independent and patient when it comes to finding your next home. You always make wise investments as you look long term which is what a home purchase should be. You tend to view everything as either black or white but homes tend to be mostly shades of gray. The sooner you come to that realization, and you will, the sooner you will find your new home. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) While you are creative and original, you are also stubborn when it comes to deciding on which home to buy. That unique home you have been seeking to purchase is just around the corner both figuratively and literally. But don’t be too clever in your negotiations, it could spoil the deal. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) You are just having a weird day, but tomorrow will be better. Trust your gut feelings and you will be able to negotiate a favorable deal whether buying or selling despite your lack of self confidence and desire not to upset the other party. You are usually right in your decision making process, so don’t be oversensitive. Call me anytime for a personal astrological reading of your real estate future...

Genesis Behavioral Health & Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region collaborate on art project LACONIA — Genesis Behavioral Health and the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region recently concluded a collaborative youth arts project supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. The two organizations worked with Concord-based painter June Latti to develop a community arts project. For two weeks this summer, children from Genesis Behavioral Health and the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region worked with Ms. Latti to create an interactive mural with the theme “Winter Always Turns to Spring.” The mural, designed and built by the artist and her colleagues, features a winter and a spring scene painted by the children. Each child designed several tiles on the border of the mural, using inspiration from their own lives or things of importance in their community. In addition to this product, the children created a variety of paintings, sculptures and wire art as they learned about different artists and found their own influences. “Community art projects are particularly wonderful in working with children, because they allow children to be part of their community and leave their mark on it,” says art therapist Stephanie Vazzano, M.S., Clinical Case Manager at Genesis Behavioral Health, “Art making—even as little as 20 minutes a day—decreases negative mood, improves self-esteem, and
decreases feelings of anger, depression and anxiety.” “Kids who are involved with the arts do better in school and are more successful community members,” continues Ms. Vazzano, “Community art projects give them a chance to work as a team, be proud of their accomplishments, and feel connected to the community at large.” “Building partnerships like this one between Genesis Behavioral Health and the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region is a priority for us,” said Cheryl Avery, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region, “It is a way to broaden the array of programs we can offer to our youth and their families, as well as for us to participate in the community.” The children look forward to sharing the mural and their artwork with the community at a culminating event planned for October 4 during Mental Illness Awareness Week. “This project demonstrated the tremendous power art can have for children who are so often overlooked,” said Maggie Pritchard, Executive Director of Genesis Behavioral Health, “We encourage the community to attend the event to see for themselves the impact of art on healing.” Those interested in learning more about this project, or making a donation to support the work, can contact Kristen Welch, Director of Development and Communications at Genesis Behavioral Health, at 524-1100 x445 or kwelch@genesisbh.org.

More than 120 students participated in the day-long event on Prescott Hill. “Professor Rose is actually the one that got me interested in business back in high school, so she knows me well enough to help pick the perfect classes for college,” says new Business Management major, Jill Auger. “Already knowing Carlene made the process even easier for me and I can’t wait for class in the fall with her and other LRCC professors. Earning a college degree is the next big step in having my own business one day.” Rose previously taught at the Huot Technical Center in Laconia and met Auger when she visited the school as a sophomore in high school.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Being aware of the ways in which you are not happy will help you to get happy. But do not linger on the negativity. Instead, pick one problem, name it, and work to make it better. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When two people say approximately the same thing to you, you’ll probably take notice. But when you hear it from three unrelated sources, that’s a sign to take immediate action. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your likes and dislikes are, as they say, “nothing personal.” You’ll follow the one who wants the same thing you want. The one who wants something different will be of no interest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Shopping” doesn’t necessarily mean “buying.” Perhaps the only way to accomplish the former without the latter today is to leave your money and credit cards at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make sure you’re on time for your next appointment, even if it’s a casual, leisurely meet-up. Promptness says something about your character that people will hear loud and clear. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 11). Your tendency to underestimate your effect on others makes you one of those people who don’t know their own beauty or strength. This is partly because for the next four months your purpose is all consuming and your projects are fascinating. After the hard work of November and December, love and travel will be featured. Pisces and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 39, 7 and 13.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). A cynic once said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a lie. Insist on truth-telling, especially when confronted by those who benefit from convenient lies. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes you have to make a mountain out of a molehill -- especially if there’s a giant mole tunneling through your yard. Don’t be afraid to demand that your concerns be taken seriously. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Taking time out of your day to do something wonderful for someone else is becoming a habit for you. You love how it feels to give, and it almost doesn’t matter how your gifts are received -- almost. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve been so wrapped up in work that certain friends and family members are feeling neglected. Put away the phone, switch off the computer, and embrace some much-needed quality time with them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Much of the day’s activities will have to do with solving a puzzle. Whether you’re learning new software or trying to find your son’s left shoe, a process of trial and error will lead you to your goal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a talent for building momentum within projects. Something that seems arduous and static in the beginning stages will be very strong once it gets going. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t like to complain, but the time has come to air your grievances. To your surprise, friends and family will be relieved to hear them and will take steps to rectify

Yesterday’s Answer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 11, 2012— Page 23
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Aug. 11, the 224th day of 2012. There are 142 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 11, 1962, Andrian Nikolayev became the Soviet Union’s third cosmonaut to fly in space as he was launched on a 94-hour flight. On this date: In 3114 B.C., the current cycle of the Mayan “Long Count” calendar began. (By some estimates, the cycle will end, and a new one will begin, on Dec. 21 of this year.) In 1786, Capt. Francis Light arrived in Penang to claim the Malaysian island for Britain. 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 1934, the first federal prisoners arrived at Alcatraz Island (a former military prison) in San Francisco Bay. In 1942, during World War II, Pierre Laval, prime minister of Vichy France, publicly declared that “the hour of liberation for France is the hour when Germany wins the war.” In 1952, Hussein bin Talal was proclaimed King of Jordan, beginning a reign lasting nearly 47 years. In 1954, a formal peace took hold in Indochina, ending more than seven years of fighting between the French and Communist Viet Minh. In 1965, rioting and looting that claimed 34 lives broke out in the predominantly black Watts section of Los Angeles. In 1984, during a voice test for a paid political radio address, President Ronald Reagan joked that he had “signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.” In 1992, the Mall of America opened in Bloomington, Minn. In 1997, President Bill Clinton made the first use of the historic line-item veto, rejecting three items in spending and tax bills. (However, the U.S. Supreme Court later struck down the veto as unconstitutional.) One year ago: Minnesota rivals Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann sparred bitterly during an eight-candidate Republican debate in Ames, Iowa; Mitt Romney sought to stay above the fray as he focused on President Barack Obama, saying, “Our president simply doesn’t understand how to lead and how to grow the economy.” Today’s Birthdays: Actress Arlene Dahl is 84. Songwriter-producer Kenny Gamble is 69. Rock musician Jim Kale is 69. Country singer John Conlee is 66. Singer Eric Carmen is 63. Computer scientist and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is 62. Wrestler-actor Hulk Hogan is 59. Singer Joe Jackson is 58. Actor Miguel A. Nunez Jr. is 48. Actress Viola Davis is 47. Actor Duane Martin is 47. Actor-host Joe Rogan is 45. Rhythm-andblues musician Chris Dave is 44. Actress Anna Gunn is 44. Actress Ashley Jensen is 44. Rock guitarist Charlie Sexton is 44. Actor Will Friedle is 36. Rapper Chris Kelly (Kris Kross) is 34. Actress Merritt Wever is 32. Actor Chris Hemsworth is 29. Rock musician Heath Fogg (Alabama Shakes) is 28. Singer J-Boog is 27. Rapper Asher Roth is 27. Actress Alyson Stoner is 19.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 11, 2012— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’m a college student and only get to see my long-distance boyfriend once every four or five weeks. We’ve been dating for more than 18 months. Assuming we stay together through grad school, we will have dated longer than six years before we have the chance to live together. Since I haven’t spent all that much time with him, my biggest fear is that we won’t get along once we settle down. So far, the longest stretch of time we’ve spent in each other’s company is six days. What if, by the time graduation rolls around, I discover that I’ve fallen in love with the idea of my boyfriend instead of the real deal? -- Undergrad Dear Undergrad: Believe it or not, some couples don’t live together before marriage and still manage to have happy, compatible lives. But you do have a legitimate concern about how little time you’ve spent in each other’s company, and your articulation about “falling in love with love” might be accurate. So don’t make any sudden plans. If you find yourself seriously attracted to someone else, it means you aren’t ready to commit to your boyfriend. If you still want to be with him when you are no longer separated by distance, take the time to determine whether it’s the real deal. No one should feel rushed into marriage. Dear Annie: My sister, “Jane,” was divorced a few years ago. She’s been seeing a counselor for two years because she enabled her lazy husband. Here’s the problem. Jane has “adopted” my family because one of her sons has disowned her, his wife won’t speak to her because Jane verbally attacked her, and her other son wants to be left alone for a while. If there is a holiday, Jane wants to be invited to be with my family. If there is a birthday or wedding, even on my husband’s side, she has to send a card. She insisted on sending a get-well card to a distant cousin-by-marriage whom she
barely knows. Jane also is very domineering. She rips things out of my hand to put them away. She makes demeaning remarks about people and isn’t happy with anything. Her co-workers don’t do the work right, the neighbors do everything wrong, etc., etc. I could go on, but I don’t want to sound like her. What do I do? -- Texas Sister Dear Texas: Let’s separate this into sections. If Jane wants to send birthday, holiday or get-well cards to anyone, that’s fine. These sentiments are harmless and are often appreciated by the recipients, even if they seem a little strange to you. Jane clings to your family because she can’t be with her own, so it is a kindness to include her whenever possible. The rest sounds like depression and anger. You’ve been a supportive sister, but we recommend you set clear boundaries so Jane understands the limits of your tolerance. It’s also OK to tell her that her complaints indicate that she is bitter and unhappy, and gently suggest that she discuss these things with her therapist. Dear Annie: “Uncertain and Afraid” said her husband flirts aggressively with the waitresses at the bars they frequent. I was married for 23 years to my first husband. He was a good man, but he drank too much. He couldn’t hold a job, and we lost our home. We divorced. I married a second time to another drinker, but I put my foot down, saying I would leave him unless he quit. I never had a problem with my own alcohol consumption, but when he agreed to quit, I quit with him. Neither of us ever touched another drop of alcohol. Life was good, and we lived together happily for the next 40 years. I would advise “Uncertain” to stop aiding and abetting her husband’s drinking problem by drinking with him, because that’s what she’s doing. -- Been There

Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild honors founding member LACONIA — As she was enjoying the annual banquet with fellow members of the Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild, founding member Harriette Bourdon had no idea what was in store for her later in the program. Debby Pare and Ila Mattila of the membership com-
mittee had concocted a little surprise for Harriette, recognizing her persuasiveness, courage, and strength, also her will, (or tenacity), in a series of remarks enusee next page Harriette Bourdon, right, a founder of the Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild, was recognized for her decades of effort and support of the guild in a surprise presentation recently. She is shown with Debby Pare of the membership committee. (Courtesy photo)
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 11, 2012 — Page 31
from preceding page merating some of her contributions of effort, time and talent in the 34 years since. Foremost, Debby mentioned that Harriette presented her idea for a quilt guild when meeting with Richard Gertz of the Belknap Mill in 1978, informing him that a group of ladies was interested in not only forming a guild but using the mill as headquarters for meetings and annual quilt shows. To this day there is a quilt encased in a permanent enclosure and screwed to the wall at Belknap Mill, a testament to the success of their meeting. The new guild organized the first quilt show in October of the same year, focusing on a raffle quilt, which it had to purchase that year and the next, but which turned out to be a resounding success. Ila noted that Harriette taught and encouraged many quilters in the Adult Education Department since1989, including some guild members. One of Harriette’s deepest involvements was with the Comfort Quilt Program which began in 2000. In a chance meeting in a local coffee shop with Police commissioner Armand Maheux and his wife, she inquired whether he thought there might be occasions when a child would appre-
ciate a quilt. The rest is history, as they say, with the program expanded well beyond any expectations, as Ila explained, “in Harriette fashion.” She recently stepped down from the program leaving it in the capable hands. When the quilt guild now numbering about 120 outgrew the mill venue, Harriette was responsible for finding the present site, the Conference Center at Lake Opechee, for monthly meetings and the highlight of the year, the annual quilt show which attracts hundreds of viewers. While some of their remarks especially about Harriette’s New Hampshire sense of humor were somewhat tongue in cheek, the sincere appreciation of the guild shone through in a serious manner when Harriette was presented a corsage, an engraved vase and a Certificate of Lifetime Membership to the guild, thanking her from the bottom of “their little quilting hearts,” with wishes for many more successful years with the group. Currently, guild members are finalizing details for the 35th Annual Harvest of Quilts to be held at the Conference Center at Lake Opechee Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. E-mail Belknapmillquilters@yahoo.com
Dime minted in 1873 sells at Philadelphia auction for $1.6 million PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A dime made in 1873 has cost someone a pretty penny: It sold for $1.6 million at auction. An anonymous bidder won the pristine coin, said Chris Napolitano, president of Stack’s Bowers Galleries, which auctioned it during an American Numismatic Association convention. With a 15 percent buyer’s fee tacked on, the final price for the coin was $1.84 million, he said. The rare coin was minted in Carson City, Nev., during a one-day run of dimes. “Generally speaking, in the coin
auction business, you might get a couple of people fighting each other” as they bid, he said Friday. “On this one, we had four or five buyers over a million dollars. We had a fair amount of buyers pursuing it.” The 1873-CC “No Arrows” Liberty Seated dime was auctioned Thursday night. It’s part of the Battle Born Collection, which contained one of every coin struck in Carson City before the mint there closed in 1893. All 111 pieces were auctioned off Thursday night, fetching a total of nearly $10 million.

LRGHealthcare & LRCC Summer Scholars program in fifth year
LACONIA — Eighteen talented high school seniors from the Lakes and Central regions of New Hampshire are earning college credits this summer thanks to LRGHealthcare. A partnership between LRGHealthcare and Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) called “Summer Scholars” is now in its fifth year and provides a free course in Anatomy and Physiology to top students interested in pursuing a career in health care. The four credit college course is taught in a compressed summer schedule and can be applied to a community college program or transferred to other colleges and universities. LRGHealthcare underwrites the students’ costs for the course. The Summer Scholars program, which introduces top local high school seniors to the basic sciences required for healthcare professions, was established as part of LRGHealthcare’s strategy to help ensure continued progress in addressing the region’s need for highly skilled health care workers. Each high school in the LRCC service area

Carlo Rambaldi, special effects master who worked on ‘E.T.’ & ‘Aliens’, dies at 86 MILAN (AP) — Carlo Rambaldi, a special effects master and three-time Oscar winner known as the father of “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,” died Friday in southern Italy after a long illness, Italian news media reported. He was 86. Rambaldi won visual effects Oscars for Steven Spielberg’s 1982 blockbuster, Ridley Scott’s film “Alien” in 1979, and John Guillermin’s “King Kong” in 1976. “Carlo Rambaldi was E.T.’s Geppetto,” said Spielberg, referring to the fictional character who created Pinocchio. “ All of us who marveled and wondered at his craft and artistry are deeply saddened by the
news of his passing.” Rambaldi worked on more than 30 films, but was best known for his work on E.T., for which he created three robots, two costumes worn by actors in the scenes when E.T. walked, and gloves for the hands. Rambaldi, a wizard of a discipline known as mechatronics — which combines disciplines including mechanical, electronic and system design engineering — did not hide a disdain for computerized effects. “Digital costs around eight times as much as mechatronics,” Rambaldi was quoted by the Rome daily La Repubblica as having once said. “E.T. cost a million dollars and we created it in three months. If we wanted
to do the same thing with computers, it would take at least 200 people a minimum of five months.” Rambaldi was born in 1925 in the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in 1951.
