Loon watchers hopeful Squam Lake will turn corner toward sustainable population of Granite State’s most revered bird

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MOULTONBOROUGH — Summer residents of New Hampshire lakes since the last ice age, loons seem as intrinsic to the landscape as black flies and out-of-state

plates. They haven’t had an easy go of it, though, enduring natural stressors such as weather, disease, predation and competition.

With European settlers came other troubles for the loons, first came water quality issues

caused by agriculture or industry, then lead poisoning from fishing tackle and more recently hazards associated with power boating. Despite these pressures, the loons have continued to fly in from their saltwater winter homes to breed at local

lakes. However, those who closely study the state’s loon population say the bird’s reproductive rates have been below the level considered sustainable over the past several years – and nowhere has this decline see LOONS page 10

Dow up 423 points as Wall Street whipsaws again NEW YORK (AP) — Lurching higher in its week of whiplash, Wall Street recorded one of its biggest gains of all time Thursday after investors seized on a few signs that the economy might just be able to avoid a new recession.

The Dow Jones industrial average soared 423 points. It had already fallen 634 points Monday, risen 429 Tuesday and fallen 519 Wednesday. Never before has the Dow had four 400-point swings in a row.

The pieces of news that sent Wall Street rocketing higher were not exactly blockbusters: Cisco Systems said its profit was better than expected, the job market got a

little better, and France tried to raise confidence in its shaken banking system.

But this is a week in which any move by the market — higher or lower — seems to touch off an investor stampede. So it was on Thursday, when stocks shot higher at the opening bell and never turned around.

Carlton Neel, who manages about $2 billion as a senior portfolio manager at Virtus Investment Partners, said investors are so scared of being late to a rally or a sell-off that they are trading in herds.

“Fear tends to be a much more powerful emotion, and the sell-offs tend to be more violent than the rallies,” he said.

“But people are worried about missing the bottom, so you will have a few melt-ups along the way.”

The four days of trading this week have been the wildest for the market since the financial crisis during the fall of 2008.

Each day has instantly taken a place in Wall Street history. The Dow’s losses on Monday and Wednesday were its sixthand ninth-largest by points, and its gains on Tuesday and Thursday were the 10thand 11th-largest.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has risen or fallen at least 4 percent each day. see STOCKS page 13

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — A woman caught with her two brothers after a nationwide manhunt told Colorado authorities she “deserved to get shot” after pointing a gun at a police chief at the end of the siblings’ run from the law, according to a court document.

Lee Grace Dougherty, 29, Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, and Ryan Edward Dougherty, 21, are being held in Pueblo County, Colo., on bonds of $1.25 million each. The three made their first court appearance

Thursday by video from jail, and none made any statement during the brief hearing.

They face charges of attempted murder of a peace officer and assault on a peace officer. The charges stem from allegations that they shot rounds from an AK-47 at four patrol cars during a chase Wednesday on Interstate 25 in Colorado. The chase ended when troopers deployed spike strips to puncture the tires of the trio’s Subaru, and the vehicle rolled and crashed into a

guardrail.

According to an arrest affidavit, Lee Dougherty ran from the crash and was shot in the leg by Walsenburg Police Chief James Chamblerlain after she pointed a “machine pistol” at him. The document says she later told police, “I deserved to get shot.”

Investigators said that when they asked her about gunfire during the chase, Lee Dougherty said she thought authorities see SISTER page 14

DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — The planned sale of a resort where the first-in-the-nation presidential primary ballots have been cast for 50 years has fallen through, the hotel’s board of directors announced Thursday.

Tillotson Corp.’s board of directors said they were surprised and saddened to learn that Ocean Properties Ltd. Hotels and Resorts of Portsmouth had decided not to purchase the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel. The company owns more than 100 hotels across North America.

“Despite this setback, our goal remains the same: to find a new owner for the Balsams that will benefit the economy, environment and people of the North Country,” the board said in a statement.

The sale had been announced in March and was expected to be completed by summer.

As recently as last month, a spokesman for Ocean Properties described plans to shut down the resort in September, invest $25 milsee BALSAMS page 10

Michelle Malkin

Schooling Matt Damon Actor Matt Damon is a walking, talking public service reminder to immunize your children early and often against La-La-Land disease.

In Damon’s world, all public school teachers are selfless angels.

Government workers and Hollywood entertainers are impervious to economic incentives. And anyone who disagrees is a know-nothing, “corporate reformer” ingrate who hates education.

Last week, the liberal box-office star addressed a “Save Our Schools” march in Washington at the behest of his mother, a professor of early childhood education. He attacked standardized tests. He praised all the public school teachers who “empowered” him and unlocked his creative potential by rejecting “silly drill and kill nonsense.” Speaking on behalf of “an army of regular people,” Damon decried the demoralization of teachers by ruthless, resultsoriented free marketeers whom he mocked as “simple-minded.”

What Damon’s superficial tirade lacked, however, was any real-world understanding of the deterioration of core curricular learning in America. Students can’t master simple division or fractions because today’s teachers — churned out through lowest common denominator grad schools and shielded from competition — have barely mastered those skills themselves. Un-educators have abandoned “drill and kill” computation for multicultural claptrap and fuzzy math, traded in grammar fundamentals for “creative spelling,” and dropped standard civics for save-the-earth propaganda.

Consequence: bottom-basement U.S. student scores on global assessments over the past two decades.

Blaming the tests is blaming the messenger. The liberal education establishment’s response to its abject academic failures? Run away. This is why the Save Our Schools agenda championed by Damon calls for less curricular emphasis on math and reading — and more focus on social justice, funding and “equity” issues.

Out: Reading is fundamental.

In: Feeling is fundamental.

After his drippy pep talk absolving teachers of any responsibility for America’s educational morass, Damon then lashed out at a young libertarian reporter who had the audacity to ask him about the negative impact of lifetime teacher tenure. “In acting there isn’t job security, right?” Reason. tv’s Michelle Fields asked Damon.

“There is an incentive to work hard and be a better actor because you want to have a job. So why isn’t it like that for teachers?”

It’s elementary that people will work longer and harder if they know they will be rewarded. There’s nothing anti-teacher about the question.

(And before teachers-unions goons go on the attack, I am the child of a public

school teacher and the mother of two children in an excellent public charter school by choice.) But Damon’s hinges came undone when confronted with the mild question.

“You think job insecurity makes me work hard?” he retorted. “That’s like saying a teacher is going to get lazy when she has tenure.” Gathering all the creative potential he could muster, Damon unleashed crude profanities on Fields. “A teacher wants to teach,” Damon fumed with his mother next to him. “Why else would you take a (expletive) salary and really long hours and do that job unless you really loved to do it?”

Never mind that most out-ofwork Americans would find nothing (expletive) about earning an average $53,000 annual salary plus health and retirement benefits for a 180-day work year.

Damon went on to deride standard, mainstream behavioral economic principles as “intrinsically paternalistic” and “MBA-style thinking.” And when the young reporter’s cameraman pointed out that there are bad apples in the teaching profession as in any profession, Damon called him (expletive), too.

Tinseltown stars can afford to put emotion over logic, progressive fantasy over practical reality. The rest of us are stuck with the bill. And those whom bleeding-heart celebrities purport to care most about — the children — suffer the consequences of bad ideas.

Interminable teacher tenure in America’s largest school districts, from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles, has produced a rotten corps of incompetent (at best) and dangerous (at worst) educators coddled by Big Labor. As the D.C.-based Center for Union Facts reports, “In many major cities, only one out of 1,000 teachers is fired for performancerelated reasons. ... In 10 years, only about 47 out of 100,000 teachers were actually terminated from New Jersey’s schools.”

By contrast, as the educational documentary “Waiting for Superman” (produced by avowed liberal turned reformer Davis Guggenheim) pointed out, one out of every 57 doctors loses his or her license to practice medicine, and one out of every 97 lawyers loses their license to practice law.

In Los Angeles, it’s not just meanie tea party terrorists making the case for abolishing teacher tenure. When the Los Angeles Times exposed how the city’s tenure evaluation system rubberstamped approvals and ignored actual performance, the district superintendent admitted: “Too many ineffective teachers are falling into tenured positions — the equivalent of jobs for life.”

USC education professor Julie Slayton acknowledged: “It’s ridiculous and should be changed.”

LETTERS Marine Patrol just targeting big racing boats for speed violations To the editor, A report from the shores and waters of Lake Winnipesaukee: The speed limit imposed on the lake is working as intended, but not as you were lead to believe. My observations are from shore and on the water, on weekends and midweek.

From our shorefront overlooking the busy cove on the Alton/Gilford border and the Broads I watch as boats repeatedly come within 50 to 75-feet of the moored boats and swim rafts when on plane, sometimes pulling kids on tubes behind them. I observe many instances of boats on plane coming within 50-feet of each other in the bay and on the Broads. I watch as personal watercraft operators go to plane no more than 100-feet from shore, 20-feet from moored boats and rafts and, in some cases, reach speeds exceeding 45 mph. I see bass boats constantly exceeding 45 mph when changing fishing sites. On several of these sightings I observed a Marine Patrol in the vicinity of Diamond Island ,where they could easily observe all this activity. On two different occasions, while on our sailboat, we had a power boat on plane come across our bow at about 75-feet and another come in the opposite direction between the first and us. One of these times there was a Marine Patrol paralleling one of the boats at 150-feet off, making it highly unlikely that he didn’t see these infractions of the laws.

Not once during the summer have I observed a Marine Patrol stop any of these illegal activities. What I have seen on four or five occasions was a large ocean style racing boat going over the speed limit. They basically were either in the Broads or on the west side of Diamond/Rattlesnake and were at least one-half mile from shore or any other

boats. They were stopped by the Marine Patrol immediately. This observation must raise the question as to what purpose the Marine Patrol is aiming to achieve in their choices of what infractions of the laws to uphold.

A quick look at accident reports from the Coast Guard clearly show that inattentiveness and inexperience are the two major contributing factors in accidents attributing to the majority of the reports and that excessive speed (above 40 mph) is barley measurable (.3 to .4-percent, or 3 to 4 tenths of a percent of excessive speed accidents and .03 or 3 one hundredths of a percent for total accidents). With this knowledge and the observations of the Marine Patrol’s activities it is easy to conclude that this speed limit law, which is only imposed on Lake Winnipesaukee, is not a law enacted based on safety needs, but a law aimed at limiting the use of the lake by a specific class of boats.

As I stated above, the law is working as intended. You see, all you who own an ocean racing class boat, a “cigarette” style boat, a “loud/fast” boat… we don’t want you here. Even though you bring in thousands of dollars in lodging to the resorts on the lake that will be lost, even though you bring thousands of dollars to the marinas in gas and goods that will be lost, even though you bring thousands of dollars to the restraints in the area that will be lost, even though you bring thousands of dollars in shopping that will be lost, even though you bring thousands of dollars in boat registrations that will be lost…we don’t want you here. We have written a law to achieve what we want, we are upholding that law and it is working.

LETTERS Historically inaccurate to say U.S. government’s primary job is to provide for the ‘general welfare’ To the editor, Leo Sandy authored a recent column titled “What is the Tea Party?” which appeared in this news paper on August 9. His piece was wide ranging in its criticism of the Tea Party movement. To Mr. Sandy, Tea Partiers are likely racist and are guilty of all sorts of other prejudices such as believing that a government should not spend more money than its revenue stream generates. I will leave it to others to tackle a comprehensive rebuttal of his column. I want to focus my attention on his misinterpretation of the U.S. Constitution and its foundational history.

Mr. Sandy advances the proposition that the Constitution’s primary purpose is to “insure domestic tranquility” and “promote the general welfare”. It is clear from his column that he views these twin responsibilities as having some supremacy under the Constitution. It is true that these phrases appear in the preamble of the document, however, to believe that these are somehow the primary objects of the Founders in establishing the Constitution is to miss the reasons for the drafting of the document in the first

place and the intentions of those who spent the summer of 1787 in sultry Philadelphia.

When the conventioneers assembled in the late spring of 1787 it was with the intention of rewriting the Articles of Confederation, the compact that governed relationships between the 13 former colonies. The Articles had proven to provide so little central authority that commerce between the states was adversely affected. Under the Articles the weak central government had great difficulty collecting taxes to pay its debts or solve navigational problems that cropped up between the states. After a short deliberation, the conventioneers decided that while they feared a strong centralized authority (having just spent many lives and much money casting out the king) a more able national government was needed to perform certain specific functions that the Articles were ineffectual at accomplishing.

After an intensive three month effort the Founders came up with a Constitution which we recognize as the first seven Articles of the existing docu-

ment, sans the Bill of Rights which was added latter as a codicil to obtain ratification. If one takes the time to review the debates of the summer of 1787, one will quickly understand that “general welfare” and “domestic tranquility” were not the primary concerns of the conventioneers. The men who wrestled with forming a more effective government argued primarily about how much power the central authority should have vs. how much power the states should retain. It was the overriding goal of those men to limit federal power very specifically.

This they did in Article 1 Section 8 of The Constitution where the Founders eventually agreed that the federal government would be empowered to act in a limited set of enumerated and specific circumstances.

The fact that limited enumeration of power controlled the Founders efforts is further demonstrated by the addition of Amendments 9 and 10 in order to obtain ratification. These two Amendments, largely ignored by the Supreme Court and the federal government today, were included to further articulate the states desire that LIBERTIES from preceding page times and tripled the size of what we owe?

The founders, therefore, were primarily focused on the retention of most power in the states from which they came and other wise in the preservation of individual liberty. They believed that “domestic tranquility” and promoting “general welfare” could best be achieved by limiting federal power to a limited list of federal responsibilities.

It is therefore historically inaccurate for Mr. Sandy to suggest that the primary job of the federal government has been to provide for the “general welfare” or to promote “domestic tranquility”. Rather the primary responsibilities, as intended by the Founders, were to perform the limited enumerated tasks outlined specifically in Article 1 Section 8 and in the other Articles, and to leave the rest of governance to the states and the people.

Mr. Sandy can take some comfort in this fact. If he can convince enough of his fellow state citizens that they should adopt the state equivalent of a European welfare state, the States retain that power under their respecsee next page wasted a surplus and gave billions to the rich which we could not afford.

To the editor, Well now it seems my fellow townee, Henry Osmer, has taken an interest in my writings. Glad to hear that someone out there does — never can tell. Even though Henry seems not to like the things I have to say at least he joins in the debate. Good for you, Henry.

As for my “rants”, I freely admit that I am sometimes greatly annoyed when liberal progressives try to dumb down the conversation by calling any who have a difference of opinion from them as racists, rednecks and most recently as terrorists, among other derogatory terms. I do try to support my assertions with checkable facts, something many if not most liberals tend not to bother with. It is, after all, a lot simpler if one just calls names and repeats slurs voiced by those all knowing elitists like Biden, Kerry, Dean and the media propagandists funded by George Soros. Oh well, freedom of speech must be respected, even dumb speech.

I would like to say that Henry is correct when he says that he fights mightily at Hill Town Meeting to keep the budget down and taxes low. In fact

Henry fights so hard that this year the moderator had to insist that he “keep it brief and to the point”. Henry had a habit of dominating the conversation and when he wrote in his letter that he was “shouted down”, he was really only asked to allow others to have their say too.

Henry is an enigma to me though. He does look to keep the town budget under control but then he goes off all crazy gaga over Obama and the big spenders in Washington. Why is that Henry?

Another thing he says of me is that I spend all my time and letters referring to the national debate. I guess he’s right, probably because I find that more interesting and thus read and listen more about it then to state and local matters. I don’t feel bad about that because some people, like Henry, find the local debate much nearer to their liking. Good for them.

So how about this: Henry, and those with the local interests, keep trying to keep our town taxes down. And I, and those with broader interests, will try to lower or national taxes.

Steve Earle Hill

from preceding page tive Constitutions. It is primarily federal power that is limited under the Constitution. On that basis, if the State of California’s constitution permits it the Founders would most likely agree that if the people of that state wish to be taxed and governed under the dictates of Fabian socialism that is a decision to be left to the people of California.

In closing one final point is worth making. Since the time of ratification of the Constitution, the federal government has been busy attempting to usurp the powers retained by the states and the people. The primary vehicle for this taking has been the United States Supreme Court. This fact does not change the intentions of the Founders or the requirements of the states at the time of ratification.

I trust that Mr. Sandy will be a bit more careful in his interpretation of the requirements and scope of the

Constitution in the future. I wouldn’t presume to know all of the philosophy behind the Tea Party movement, but if one of its intentions is the restoration of the originally intended balance of powers between the states, the people, and the federal government, that would be an effort that history strongly suggests the Founding Fathers would enthusiastically endorse. I find it humorous that some among us are so divorced from our history as to find people who actually wish to live under the government structure intended by the Founders and their traditions to be somehow radical. It is refreshing to see that there are many people who have witnessed the abject failures of the policies of our central masters, and the bankruptcy of their ideas, and wish to return to a government balance that has proven successful in the past.

from a 2- or 5-year term!

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

Jeff’s program is made possible by a grant from NH Humanities Council.

LETTERS We encourage cigarette consumption & lower funds for hospitals?

To the editor, In the current budget crisis that the state finds itself in isn’t it ridiculous that the Legislature decided to LOWER the cigarette tax? Let’s see, we are not only not paying the hospitals to take care of Medicaid patients anymore, we are actually taxing them on the unreimbursed care they provide. Now we are making it less expensive for people to buy cigarettes which contribute greatly to the problems the hospitals are taking care of. Of course, since nature and big tobacco abhor a vacuum, the cigarette manufacturers then RAISED their prices so the net savings to smokers was I believe only one cent of the ten cents we lowered the tax to begin with.

New Hampshire is also now going to have to repay the federal government

30 million dollars from the Mediscam debacle and that money must be found somewhere. Perhaps, raising the cigarette tax back where it was or higher is step one. New York State has recently proposed a tax of one cent per ounce on sodas containing sugar. Philadelphia has proposed a similar tax on all drinks containing added sugar so as to include juice drinks. With obesity a major health issue as well, wouldn’t such a tax make sense in the Granite State?

By the way, before smokers march on my office in outrage, do you realize that in New York City a pack of cigarettes is over $9? Note that smoking in NYC is down almost 6-percent as a result. Talk to your representatives and senators!

Republicans do worse by blocking abortion of unwanted fetuses To the editor, Both Democrats and Republicans have clearly shown themselves to be total idiots. The stupid debt limit argument IGNORED the most important thing: CONTROL and STOP SPENDING! Everyone except the idiots in Congress knows that!

But maybe worse is the asinine Republican “pledge’ to oppose abortion or sex education or birth control! Enjoying sex is so basic that no idiots in government can ever stop that! Today, with excellent protections against pregnancy cheaply available, we have far too many getting pregnant when they don’t want to. THAT is the FAULT of BOTH political parties! But Republicans do even worse, blocking abortion of unwanted fetuses. How totally STUPID can they get? The unwanted child is doomed to a life worse than death, all due to REPUBLICAN IDIOTS! Democrats don’t do much better with asinine incentives to women to breed more and more babies, just to get more government “pay”. So both sides cause UNWANTED population growth, and, what happens to those unwanted children? If girls, they just follow their mother’s breeding for money. If boys, they become the dope pushers or comitt even worse criminal actions.

Eliminate both negative parties and replace with an improved “Tea Party”.

Some Democrats have suggested their version of the Tea Party, but chosen name is too outrageous to put in print!

Democrats say tax the rich (if any), ignoring that they already ARE taxed like any others: all they would do is shift the source.

But, we could get a LOT more taxes by eliminating the IRS and replacing the income tax with the FAIR TAX, a simple sales tax on all new products and services (offset with rebate to ALL of the tax on minimum income). Thus NO bookkeeping, no record keeping, NO tax forms to fill out, and no IRS to steal from you. Tax lawyers will hate that since they can’t screw you anymore! Government cost of collection will be less than 1-percent of costs now. Politicians could no longer get big kickbacks for making special exceptions to rich payers. The plan is so SIMPLE and STRAIGHT FORWARD and HONEST that it is obvious the only opposition comes from the lawyers and congressmen who will lose their ripoff theft of the system! BUT, that is a BIG group of opposition! Without them, the Fair Tax would have replaced income tax years ago.

First District Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter of Rochester and Laconia businessman Andrew Hosmer jointly appeared at the annual meeting of the Belknap County Democratic Committee on Wednesday evening.

2012 congressional primary rivals Shea-Porter & Hosmer seek to impress Belknap County Democrats

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA — Carol Shea-Porter and Andrew Hosmer, two of the three entries in the Democratic Primary in the First Congressional District that is still more than a year away, spoke to some two dozen people when the Belknap County Democrats met this week, each denying running against the other and both insisting they are bent on ousting the incumbent freshman Republican Frank Guinta.

Hosmer expressed his thanks to Shea-Porter, who held the congressional seat from 2006 until 2010, and said “I have a great deal of respect for her.”

Shea-Porter said simply “I’m entirely focused on Frank Guinta.”

In their brief opening statements and answers to questions, there were differences only of nuance between the two. But, Shea-Porter drew on her experience to display a command of issues that Hosmer, making his first bid for national office, will need time to match.

A former teacher and social worker, Shea-Porter described herself as “always an advocate.” She said “I decided to run because you have to be in the living room and not just in the yard.” She recalled some of the successes of the Democratic Congress during her tenure, conceded that the election of 2010 was “difficult” and proclaimed “I’m back in and we all have a lot of work to do.”

Hosmer, a former county prosecutor in Massa-

chusetts, is the general manager of AutoServ, the Tilton-based company founded by his father-in-law.

Last year, he ran for the New Hampshire Senate in District 4, but was among the 19 Democrats, incumbents and newcomers alike, swept away by the Republican landslide. Despite the outcome, the experience of campaign inspired him to seek to carry the fight to Washington.

“I know I can beat Frank Guinta in 2012,” he declared.

Both said that they would have voted for the bargain struck to raise the debt ceiling, but not without grave misgivings. Calling it “bad deal” and “a catastrophe,” Hosmer scolded Guinta for “holding our economy hostage” and “putting working families on the chopping block.” The bargain, he said, reflected the “dysfunction” of Congress, where “Guinta and other extremists serve the interests of Wall Street, big oil and mining companies” at the expense of the unemployed and underemployed, who are “frightened that Medicare and Social Security may not be there for them.”

Shea-Porter stressed that in spite of claims to the contrary “Congress did not address the debt at all.”

She said that growth of the debt became unavoidable when Republicans and Democrats alike agreed to extend the tax cuts enacted during the Bush Administration. “There is shared responsibility by both parties,” she said, insisting that “we’re not going see next page

Seymour signs up for shot at another term as mayor LACONIA — As expected Mike Seymour yesterday filed for re-election to a second term as mayor.

Seymour, who moved to Laconia in 1987 to work at Laconia Federal Savings and Loan Association, is now a vice-president at Franklin Savings Bank, where he manages branch operations, marketing and public relations. His wife Karen works at Laconia Savings Bank and their daughter Samantha graduated from Laconia High School this year.

Before his election as mayor in 2009, Seymour served a term on the School Board chairing the budget subcommittee in 2007 and the board itself in 2008. He is a director of the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, an incorporator of LRGHealthcare and has been named a Community Champion by the Lakes Region United Way for his part in fundraising efforts to support programs and services for

the least fortunate and most vulnerable.

Warren Clement, the current chairman of the Police Commission, also filed for re-election this week. Clement, who formerly owned and operated the Sundial Shop, has been a mainstay of downtown Laconia for many years. With the closure of the store, Clement has begun a new career in real estate under the tutelage of his longtime neighbor on Main Street, Kevin Sullivan at Coldwell Banker Commercial - Weeks Associates.

Chris Guilmett, who has represented Ward 4 on the School Board for three terms, has filed for reelection. A mortgage originator at Laconia Savings Bank, Guilmett has also held several offices with the Belknap Mill Society.

Spokesman confirms Texas Governor Perry is running for president AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is running for president, a spokesman confirmed Thursday, a move certain to shake up the race for the GOP nomination much to the delight of conservatives looking for a candidate to embrace.

Perry spokesman Mark Miner said the governor would make his intentions known on Saturday while visiting South Carolina and New Hampshire just as most of his presidential rivals compete in a test vote in Iowa.

Official word of Perry’s entrance into the race came just hours before eight candidates, including from preceding page to get to the debt until we raise revenue.” She had “no great hopes” for the so-called “super-committee” charged with recommending further measures to close the budget deficit and control the national debt, since the Republican appointees would be unwilling to consider increasing revenues. Nevertheless, she said would have voted with the majority to avoid the risk of default on U.S. debt.

Both agreed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan must be brought to an end. “I believe it is time to end the wars,” Hosmer said, adding that the resources devoted to them should be applied to fostering employment and improving infrastructure at home.

He said the administration should develop a strategy for withdrawal.

“The strategy is that we have to leave,” said SheaPorter, who won the seat in 2006 as as an outspoken, uncompromising opponent of the war in Iraq. She recalled that while serving as a member of the House Armed Services Committee she traveled to Afghanistan. “I knew we shouldn’t be there,” she said, “when President (Hamid) Karzai told me the corruption is your problem, the drug trade is your problem.”

GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, were to appear on stage during a nationally televised debate.

It wasn’t much of a surprise. The longest-serving governor in Texas history has flirted with a presidential run since spring and has spent the past few months courting Republicans in early voting states and laying the groundwork for a campaign. He met privately with potential donors from California to New York and gave rousing speeches to party faithful, casting himself as a fiscally responsible social conservative.

Both candidates grew impassioned when a recent law school graduate raised the rising cost of higher education and onerous burden of student loans.

Shea-Porter explained that private banks no longer administer student loans, which spares the government the cost of subsidies and fees, but conceded that much more must be done to reduce the cost to students themselves. She said that as public funding for universities has shrunk tuition has risen beyond the means of middle and working class families.

“We need to have a conversation about how we value education,” Hosmer said, adding that the American dream was fulfilled by a good education and hard work. “If you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it,” he said is simply not acceptable. He feared “we could be the first generation to hand down a legacy that is not as rosy as my parents passed on to me.”

The third candidate to enter the primary so far is Joanne Dowdell of Portsmouth, an executive with Sentinel Investments and at-large member of the Democratic National Committee.

The primary election will be held in September 2012.

been as stark as on Squam Lake.

Research into that decline has pointed toward an apparent contamination of the lake which has resulted in several harmful chemicals turning up in high concentrations in the eggs which failed to hatch. After six worrisome years loon advocates are beginning to cross their fingers with hope that Squam Lake’s loon population might be on the mend.

In the fall of 2004, as loons do every year, the 16 pairs that had made Squam Lake their summer home migrated to the Atlantic Ocean. The first sign of trouble came when only nine of those pairs returned, representing a drop of 44-percent of the lake’s adult population, a decline not seen since the Loon Preservation Committee began to survey the population in 1975. Nearby lakes did not see similar declines. Even more troubling, those loons who returned experienced what the committee’s biologists refer to as “near-complete reproductive failure,” with precious few eggs proving viable.

Loons, explained Tiffany Grade, Squam lakes biologist for the Loon Preservation Committee, are a bird that has a long lifespan, as much as 30 years, but might not reproduce

until it reaches six or seven years old.

Each breeding pair will produce about two eggs per year. Research suggests that a sustainable loon population requires a chick survival rate of .48 per pair. Last year, Squam Lake had 13 breeding pairs but only 2 chicks survived, resulting in a survival rate of .15. The same population would have required six or seven chicks to survive in order to be considered sustainable. Last year was no exception – on average, since 2005, fewer than three chicks have survived since 2005.

What’s the cause?

Responding to the decline, the Loon Preservation Committee launched the Squam Lake Loon Initiative, a campaign to reverse the trend of unsustainable reproduction. As part of that initiative, eggs that aren’t viable have been collected and sent to a researcher at Tufts University to be tested. Those tests revealed that the eggs contained levels of chemicals dramatically higher – as much as three times higher – than in samples from other lakes. Those chemicals include PBDE-99, applied to clothing as a flame retardant; PFOS, a stain guard; PCB, an industrial insulating or cooling agent; pesticides DDT and chlordane; and the heavy metal strontium.

No research exists to say at which levels these chemicals are harmful to loons, however, the concentrations detected in the eggs that were not viable were significantly higher than those that had been shown in laboratory tests to be dangerous to other, similar animals. Harry Vogel, senior biologist and executive director of the Loon Preservation Committee, thinks that when these contaminants, combined with the “complex mix of co-occurring stressors,” that loons already face, has resulted in the failure of loons to produce viable eggs.

Magnifying the contamination is the loon’s position on the food chain.

The contaminants might not have been present in the lake in great quantity, and might not have caused a problem for the microorganisms that filtered them out of the water. Those microorganisms, though, were then eaten by insects, which were eaten by frogs or crayfish, which were in turn eaten by fish. Each step up the food chain, the concentration of the chemicals increases. Then, along comes a loon, which spends all spring eating the fish, ingesting the chemicals along with them. These chemicals adhere to cells in the loon’s fat reserves, reserves which are called upon when the bird does something which requires a great deal of energy, such as migrate or produce eggs.

How did the contaminants get into the lake? “By and large, it’s still a mystery,” said Vogel. Some of the chemicals, such as DDT, strontium and PCB, are what he referred to as “legacy contaminants,” chemicals which have long been banned for industrial uses but which remain present in the environment from decades ago. One possibility is that an event occurred, such as a breached beaver dam or a construction project coupled with a downpour.

As for the other chemicals, the flame retardants and stain guards, nearby septic systems could be a source.

The Loon Preservation Committee has conscripted the services of Jeff Schloss, a University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension professor of biological science and water quality specialist who has been studying Squam Lake for 25 years. “Everyone was kind of surprised at the variety of of different contaminants we found,” he said. Although his research so far has only been preliminary, he said it’s possible that some of the contaminants entered the lake by way of nearby washing machines.

Schloss, in gathering data to support a research proposal, tested septic tanks in the vicinity of Squam Lake and found them to contain fire retardant chemicals. Clothing, especially children’s clothing, are treated with the compounds, which wear off after many washings. Septic systems are designed to clean the water of bacteria but not chemicals, he noted. He stressed that his findings are so far preliminary and he hopes to secure

Barring another contaminating event, the good news for loons and loon watchers is that it seems that the worst is past. Starting in 2008, the levels of contaminants observed in the eggs that aren’t viable started a gradual decline. Although chick survival rates didn’t immediately follow, the numbers of adult loons populating the lake has finally grown to nearly match that prior to 2005.

This year, according to Squam biologist Grade, nine chicks emerged from eggs and five have survived so far – that’s less than the level considered sustainable, but far greater than any other year since 2005. Grade hopes that those chicks will live long enough to fly to the ocean this fall, and that even more will survive next year. “I’m hoping this is the corner, I’m hoping we’re turning the corner,” she said.

This year will mark five years of the initiative aimed at protecting Squam Lake loons. In addition to scientific analysis, the initiative has included intensive outreach and loon management, which Vogel thinks has been invaluable in guarding the remaining loons. “I think we’re seeing some good signs,” he said, including that outreach works, that, as his non-profit believes, humans and loons can co-exist if the former behaves with regard to the latter.

There’s progress to be made, especially in educational outreach. For example, despite state regulations and informational press releases, loons continue to be killed by lead poisoning. “Do not use any lead fishing tackle. By far and away, that is the largest quantifiable threat to the growth of the loon population. The fervent hope is that people throw out all their lead tackle,” Vogel said, noting that there are safe and effective nontoxic substitutes.

Beyond that, Vogel urged, “Simply give loons some space, especially a loon on the nest or a loon with a chick... if you attempt to get close to them, you prevent them from doing what they need to be doing.” Loon chicks, especially, are vulnerable to boat strikes as they are small, dark in color, too buoyant to dive and may not have learned yet to stay out of the paths of motorboats. Few chicks are produced each year, he noted, asking motorists to keep an eye out for them so that they may someday produce more loons.

Referring to the many hazards loons navigate, Vogel said, “Each year, the number and scope of these stressors continues to grow, so we need to keep step... The future of loons is not assured in New Hampshire, but neither are they a lost cause. It’s going to come down to whether or not we care about these birds and give them a space on our lake.”

England will look to U.S. for tactics to control mobs

LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that Britain would look to the United States for solutions to gang violence after nights of riots and looting, and promised authorities would get strong powers to stop street mayhem from erupting again.

Cameron told lawmakers he was “acting decisively to restore order on our streets,” as police raided houses to round up suspects from four nights of unrest in London and other English cities.

Steve Kavanagh, the deputy assistant commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police, admitted the force initially did not deploy enough officers to control the outbreak of violence, saying “it is clear we did not have enough numbers on duty to deal.”

Cameron also acknowledged that police had been overwhelmed by mobile groups of looters in the first nights of the rioting and said authorities were considering new powers, including allowing police to order thugs to remove masks or hoods, evicting troublemakers from subsidized housing and temporarily disabling cell phone instant messaging services.

He said the 16,000 police deployed on London’s streets to deter rioters and reassure residents would remain through the weekend.

“We will not let a violent few beat us,” Cameron said.

While Britain’s streets were clear of looters for a second night in a row, the toll of the riots continued to climb. A 68-year-old man who was attacked during rioting in west London as he tried to put out a fire died late Thursday, police said in a statement.

Richard Mannington Bowes had been in a coma since Monday. Police said a murder investigation has now been opened into his death.

Lawmakers were summoned back from their summer vacations for an emergency session of Parliament on the riots as government and police worked to regain control, both on the streets and in the court of public opinion.

During a session lasting almost three hours in which he faced 160 questions from lawmakers, Cameron promised tough measures to stop further violence and said “nothing should be off the table.”

He said that included water cannon and plastic bullets — though senior police have said they don’t feel the need to use those at the moment. He also said officials would look at “whether there are tasks that the army could undertake that would free up more police for the front line.”

Cameron said he would seek American advice on fighting the street gangs he blamed for helping spark Britain’s riots.

He told lawmakers that he would look to cities like Boston for inspiration, and mentioned former Los Angeles, New York and Boston Police Chief William Bratton as a person who could help offer advice.

Bratton said in a statement he’d be “pleased and honored” to provide services and counsel in any capacity, adding that he loves London and has worked with British police for nearly 20 years.

Cameron told lawmakers he wanted to look at cities that had fought gangs “by engaging the police, the voluntary sector and local government.”

Father & daughter safe after getting lost for a time on Mount Major

ALTON — A father and daughter hiking team are safe after being led by rescuers to safety on Mount Major Wednesday night.

Fire Chief Scott Williams said the fire department was called by members of the N.H. Dept. of Fish and Game at 8:05 p.m. to assist in the search.

Williams said the pair had somehow become separated and he thinks the daughter may have taken a wrong turn off the logging road.

“It’s a very common mistake,” said Williams who said the “blue trail” veers left off the logging road and if a hiker misses the turn, he or she will walk

north around Mount Major, typically ending up on the west side near Straightback Mountain.

Williams said he’s not exactly sure how this pair become separated but said the father made it down the mountain and went back up looking for daughter.

“I think he got lost for a little bit, too,” Williams said.

He said rescue teams were able to pinpoint the daughter’s location, accessed through Jesus Valley Road and exited safety at just around midnight.

He said no one was injured and everyone was able to walk off the mountain.

The company also has restored The Sagamore Resort on Lake George, N.Y.; the Harborside Hotel & Marina in Bar Harbor, Maine; the Sunset Key Resort in Key West, Fla.; and The Latham Hotel in Philadelphia.

The board said Thursday it will hold an emergency meeting and will announce a new management plan

in 10 days.

“We remain optimistic about the future of the hotel,” it said.

Tillotson had Dixville incorporated solely for voting purposes and arranged for ballots to be cast just after midnight on primary day. In doing so, he stole some of the spotlight from another tiny northern New Hampshire community, Hart’s Location, which began midnight voting in 1948, stopped in 1964, then revived the tradition in 1996.

Owners of Arbutus Hill Farm share the bounty with those who help with the work

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — “I love my critters. And I enjoy knowing where my food comes from” says Jennifer Mayo of Arbutus Hill Farm, who is one of a growing number of New Hampshire women who run their own farms.

Mayo didn’t start life as a farmer. Raised in Bethesda, Maryland, she spent most of her life as a city girl and attended Bunker Hill Community College in Boston, where she later was a social worker and raised her children.

She then made a huge change in her life after earning her master’s degree in environmental resource management at Antioch College’s New Hampshire campus and at the age of 43 got into farming by buying a 50-acre farm off from Upper New Hampton Road.

“I wanted to raise my own food and be self-sufficient, doing it in a way which is sustainable and friendly to the environment,” says Mayo.

She’s a vendor at the Saturday morning Laconia Farmer’s Market in the city hall parking lot, right next to a piece of her family history, the Belknap Mill, which at on time was owned by her greatgrandfather, George William Mayo, and also next to where she works part-time as a code enforcement officer for the city of Laconia.

At the market she sells beef, pork and chicken raised naturally on her farm, as well as onions, garlic and other crops, as well as a garlic pesto that she makes.

“It’s a small operation. Just me. I’ve gotten better as a farmer over the years but there’s still way too much work for one person to do,’’ says Mayo, who has developed a unique way to get the work done and now has six families who work on her farm in exchange for food, something she says is a throwback to the way community supported agriculture originally worked.

“I need lots of help. They help out with pulling the weeds, haying, putting shavings in chicken pen, putting up fence posts and even hauling wood,’’ she says.

Her workers include Michelle Maslanka, a stayat-home mom from Laconia, who brings along her 3-year-old daughter Rebecca to help out at the farm.

“I met Jen at Farmer’s Market and after we talked a little I decided to get involved in working in exchange for food. My daughter loves coming out here and being with the farm animals. And we love the fresh veggies and knowing that they’re pesticide free and totally organic,’’ she says.

Monday she was helping pull weeds in overgrown tomato and garlic field and driving wooden posts so that the plants could be staked out. Maslanka says that

her husband, Bryan Hook, who is manager of Clark’s Bostonian at Tanger Outlets in Tilton, also works at the farm installing new fencing for the animals.

Shannon Allan of Bristol says she found out about the work for food program through her yoga instructor in Meredith and has been working at the farm since last summer.

“It’s a great learning experience,’’ says Allan, also a city girl from Washington, D.C. area who never farmed before. She’s a realtor at Preferred Vacation Rentals in Moultonborough and her husband is a bartender at the Omni Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods.

“One of the reasons we moved to New Hampshire was to get away from the crowds and congestion.

This is the something that really connects you to the land and the food that comes from it’’ said Allan.

Mayo cans her own food and teaches the women who work with her how to can and preserve food. see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 12, 2011— Page 13

STOCKS from page 2 That has not happened on four consecutive days since November 2008, the depths of the crisis.

It’s only the third time since 1934, said Kevin Pleines, an analyst at Birinyi Associates. The first was October 1987 — including the day known as Black Monday, when the S&P plunged more than 20 percent.

On Thursday, American investors got an encouraging report before the market opened when European stock markets turned around their losses and had one of their best days in recent weeks.

The leaders of Germany and France, the biggest economies of the nations that use the euro currency, announced they will meet Tuesday to discuss the financial crisis on the continent.

The stocks of French banks have been hammered because of concerns they will be hit with massive losses from European sovereign debt they hold. One European nation after another has struggled with debt, with Spain and Italy the latest.

France is trying to assure financial markets that it will not be downgraded from AAA, as the United States was. All three leading credit rating agencies reaffirmed the top rating for France. American investors have worried about a chain reaction that hurts the United States because large U.S. banks have loans to European banks.

An hour before the U.S. markets opened, the government reported that the number of people filing for unemployment benefits fell below 400,000 for the first time since April.

When the opening bell rang, technology stocks led the market higher. Cisco Systems, the world’s largest maker of computer equipment and a tech bell-

wether, rose more than 15 percent after it reported profit that was better than Wall Street expected. It also said its revenue this quarter would be better than expected.

The Dow finished at 11,143.31, up 423.37 points, or about 4 percent. The S&P 500 finished up 4.6 percent and the Nasdaq composite index 4.7 percent.

It was three weeks ago, on July 22, when the stock market began a long losing streak. Investors were worried mostly about the showdown in Washington over whether to raise the nation’s borrowing limit.

Then came one sign after another that economic growth was much slower than analysts had thought, in addition to growing worries about the debt crisis in Europe and the stability of European banks.

During those three weeks, the Dow is down almost 1,600 points, or about 12 percent. It is still up 70 percent since March 9, 2009, its lowest point after the 2008 financial crisis.

President Barack Obama acknowledged this week’s wild market swings and made another attempt to calm Americans who have watched their retirement accounts and other investments shrivel since mid-July.

The president toured a plant in Holland, Mich., that makes batteries for hybrid cars and trucks and said he understands that the volatility “makes folks nervous” and has hammered savings accounts.

He reeled off a list of challenges for the economy — unrest in the Middle East, an earthquake in Japan that disrupted American manufacturing, the European financial crisis and lingering damage from the Great Recession.

But he declared: “There is nothing wrong with our country. There is something wrong with our politics.”

from preceding page “All the women who work with me are putting up their own food,” she says proudly.

She has five cattle, Charlois and Angus-Hereford crosses, all grass-fed and all born on the farm, and two of them will soon give birth.

In addition she has 11 sheep, all Katahdins, who shed their wool naturally and don’t have to be sheared.

One of her breeding sheep, Diamond, is the survivor of a coyote attack last year which claimed two other sheep and she says coyotes are a real problem for her livestock.

She currently has a half dozen pigs she bought from Gitch’s Funny Farm in Hill, which will be headed to a slaughterhouse in Maine this fall.

She’ll then raise another half dozen over the winter because demand is so high for pork products.

Last year she raised 150 White Cornish chickens and has doubled her flock to 300 this year.

“There’s a big demand for five and six-pound whole birds,’’ she says, adding that she advises her customers to cook them at a relatively low 325 degrees in order to keep them from drying out.

“They don’t have any added water, like the ones you buy in the store, so low and slow is the best way to cook them,’’ she says.

And she’s got 25 turkeys that she’s raising, all of which will be gracing the tables of local families come Thanksgiving.

Arbutus Hill Farm and is part of a marketing

collaborative of women and natural growers called “Sharing the Bounty.” The group has an e-mail subscription list of customers and every Sunday farmers let them know what they have available on a first come first serve basis.

Having experienced the challenges of starting a farm on her own, Mayo has been eager to share what she has learned with others and was the driving force in starting the Beginner Farmers of New Hampshire, a group with three-fourths female membership, to help new farmers network with one another.

The membership of the group reflects a growing trend of more and more women entering farming in which New Hampshire leads the way.

According to the latest figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture New Hampshire has the highest percentage of farms with women as their principal operators in all of New England. The percentage climbed from 25-percent in 2002 to 30-percent in 2007, according to the USDA. By comparison, the national percentage of farms with women as their principal operators was about 14-percent in 2007, up from 11-percent five years earlier.

The USDA figures show that the number of women farmers in New Hampshire has risen dramatically over the last 15-plus years. In 1992, fewer than 500 principal farm operators in the state were women.

By 2007, that number had jumped to well over 1,000 with the total number of farm operators in the state going from fewer than 2,500 to more than 4,000 during the same period.

RECYCLING from page one in Penacook, north of Concord, at an estimated cost of $15-million, all of which would be met from a sinking fund with no cost to the member municipalities.

The project was initially proposed in 2007 as the most effective means of reducing the volume of solid waste incinerated at the waste-to-energy plant. The facility is designed to handle between 35,000 and 50,000 tons a year. But, Presher calculated that to operate economically the facility must process at least 25,000 tons of recyclable materials a year.

During the past several years, Presher has secured commitments from municipalities, including Laconia, Gilford and Belmont, to deliver an estimated total of 24,000 tons a year.

However, Concord, the largest single contributor with nearly 4,000 tons, conditioned its commitment on the co-op reaching its target of 25,000.

Presher said that he will be meeting with the Concord Solid Waste Committee and City Council to ask the city to reaffirm its commitment to the project, despite the shortfall in the guaranteed tonnage. “Without Concord, it’s not a go,” Presher said.

The project will require the support of two-thirds of the member municipalities, or 237 of the 355 total votes, which are allocated among the three cities — Concord, Laconia and Franklin — and 24 towns according to their population. While all three cities have committed to the project, some of the towns, which operate profitable recycling programs, have not. With 85 votes, Concord holds the balance.

Paul Moynihan, Laconia director of public works, described the projected commitments of 24,000 tons as “conservative.” Moreover, he pointed out that while Laconia is projected

to contribute 1,000 tons, that amount could double or more if the City Council chooses to introduce “Pay-As-YouThrow,” which would enable the Co-op to meet or exceed its target.

Meanwhile, last week Bob Allgaier of Pinard Waste Systems, Inc. of Hooksett, the largest independently owned collection and disposal firm in the state, informed Presher that the company was likely to open a singlestream recycling facility in the southern tier of the state. “ I’ve had a good relationship with the Co-op and I respect what Jim (Presher) does,” Allgaier said yesterday. “I’ve known about their project and knew a vote was coming up soon. “ He said that his firm had also been considering building a single-stream facility for some time and recently reached a decision to proceed with a project of its own. “Strictly as a courtesy I called Jim,” he said, “to tell him we’re getting very close to constructing our own facility. I told him that what you do won’t affect what I do, but what we do could affect you.”

“I’m not trying to throw a monkey wrench into their plan,” Allgaier insisted.

He said that Pinard has sufficient contracted tonnage under its control to sustain its own facility. “I’m not counting on Co-op tonnage,” he said. “But, would I refuse Co-op tonnage? No.” Presher expected to bring the issue to a vote of the Co-op members this summer, but acknowledged that the news of Pinard’s plans “will generate some discussion.”

On Wednesday, Gilford Public Works manager Sheldon Morgan asked for and received permission from his selectboard to vote in the affirmative when a motion to proceed with construction with 24,000 committed ton a hand is made.

SISTER from page 2 were firing at them. Authorities said they didn’t fire at the fugitives’ car and believe she might have mistaken the sound of the spike strips for gunshots.

“We weren’t trying to hurt anyone; we just wanted them to get back. They were way back and we could barely see them,” she said, according to the affidavit. Separate affidavits for the three don’t include statements from the brothers.

The trio’s mother, Barbara Bell of East Palatka, Fla., spoke briefly Thursday to The Associated Press but declined to discuss their ordeal, saying she didn’t think it would help them in the long run.

“Thank God they’re not tried by the media,” she said. “They’re tried in a court of law and their story will come out at that time.”

Bell hung up the phone shortly after a reporter called, saying she needed to keep the line open for concerned family members to reach her.

“I’m devastated and I’m trying to be strong for other family members,” Bell said. “Throughout all of this, I think everybody just wanted it to stop. And now it’s over.”

The public defender appointed to represent the siblings, William Martinez, didn’t immediately return a phone message.

The siblings also have no-bond warrants in Georgia and Florida on charges they robbed a bank in Georgia and shot at a police officer in Flor-

“These three have a big legal mess in front of them, and at some point they’ll face charges in all those jurisdictions,” FBI Special Agent Phil Niedringhaus said.

Dylan Stanley and Ryan Dougherty are from Lacoochee, Fla. Lee Dougherty had been living with a boyfriend in Orlando, Fla., according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s office.

Although another court hearing has been scheduled for the siblings in Pueblo on Monday, it’s not clear whether they will ultimately be tried in court in Colorado, another state or federal court.

“State and federal agents and prosecutors continue to coordinate to determine what the appropriate next step is,” said Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for Colorado’s U.S. attorney, John Walsh.

Pueblo County District Attorney Bill Thiebaut won’t file charges until he can review reports from five state and local agencies involved in the Colorado chase. He said he hasn’t been in contact with prosecutors from other states.

“My inclination is that if we can ethically charge these people with a serious crime here out of our office in Pueblo, it’s likely we will be doing that,” he said. “If we have probable cause, we will do that.”

Attempted murder, the more serious of the preliminary Colorado charges, carries a sentence of up to 12 years in prison, but that could be increased to 48 years if it’s found to be a crime of violence under Colorado law, he said.

Volunteers sought for Wolfeboro Folk songs performed by Jeff Warner vintage boat regatta in September at Taylor Home on August 18

WOLFEBORO — The New Hampshire Boat Museum is looking for volunteers to assist at its 7th biennial Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta which will be held September 16-17.

“It takes over 100 volunteers to put on this regatta,” says NHBM Chair Hank Why. “Many dedicated volunteers have been working for over a year to plan this exciting event, and we need several more to help at the event itself on Friday and Saturday.

Patrol boat volunteers are needed to help keep non-race boat traffic off the race course. “This is the best seat in the house,” said Regatta Race Director Bill John. “Patrol boats see the action close up and spend the day 250 feet off the running lanes.”

Volunteer patrol boats may sign up for either or both days, with the mandatory drivers’ meetings at 7:15 a.m. and patrols lasting until 5 p.m. A free lunch is provided to the patrol boat drivers.

A variety of dockside assignments are also available and include gate and pit security, dock crowd control, race boat starters, boat ride registration and others. Volunteers receive a

free commemorative regatta t-shirt.

Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older. To volunteer call 569-4554 The Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta is a national event on the American Power Boat Association’s Vintage Circuit. Over 50 race boat crews from all over the eastern United States and Canada will participate by running demonstration heats around Wolfeboro Bay on a one-mile oval course on Wolfeboro Bay. The public may view the heats while on board the Winnipesaukee Belle, a sidewheeler owned by the Wolfeboro Inn. Each morning and afternoon a one hour viewing from the water will be available for a $10 donation to NHBM. For those more adventurous, a ride of a lifetime on one of the participating race boats will be available for a $100 donation.

Event sponsors to date include Watermark Marine and the Wolfeboro Inn. Founded in 1992, the New Hampshire Boat Museum is a nonprofit educational organization focusing on the history and heritage of boating on New Hampshire’s lakes and rivers.

BRISTOL _ The Bristol Rotary Club will hold its annual Penny Sale on Thursday, August 18 at 7 p.m. at the Newfound Memorial Middle School.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An unobtainable person has a magnetic appeal to you. Perhaps this is someone who is in no position to return your affection. The situation allows you to explore the complexities of emotion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Family will hold a mirror up to you whether or not you are in the mood to look at yourself. Their way of reflecting you is a gift, though it may not feel that way just now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

People enjoy exchanging stories about misfortune. Stay out of the conversation. It’s a kind of competition, though there is no real benefit to winning.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is easy to get caught up in your own thinking. Thoughts can double back on themselves and drag you inside them like a powerful riptide. To avoid getting carried away, stop the thought process early on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s a hero in your midst -- someone who will gallantly slay the dragon for you. It may not be the one you think it is. Note that some of the best knights don’t wear armor.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 12).

Make it a point to be around people who are as goal-oriented as you are.

A change to your domestic life will be introduced in September. November brings financial improvement. You’ll be helped by family members who want you to succeed. Your personal life sparkles with new friendships in February.

Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 47, 3, 22, 15 and 4.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There will be an adjustment to your domestic life. It will happen slowly over the next seven days. You’ll be more comfortable at the end of it, but it will be a process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will find yourself in a position to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. You’ll do an excellent job at this, especially if you don’t give it too much thought. Shoot from the hip, and do what’s right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When is there going to be a time to explore the interest that captured your imagination so thoroughly when you were a child?

You may just find the time today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know better than to be annoyed by the skeptics. Indeed, you are grateful for them because they spur you on to do and become more. You will be highly motivated now, eager to prove the skeptics wrong.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in a wild and exploratory mood. Ask questions, and you’ll find good answers. Are they the right answers? Probably not.

But they are good enough to keep you interested and asking more.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make it easy for people to find you, and prepare to be surprised. Though you don’t necessarily want to talk to everyone from your past, there are a few people you will happily get to know all over again.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will be in a position to either hear or give a confession. The admission could lead to redemption or condemnation. Much hangs in the balance here. Be compassionate with yourself and others.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 12, 2011— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Aug. 12, the 224th day of 2011. There are 141 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 12, 1981, IBM introduced its first personal computer, the model 5150, at a press conference in New York. The 5150 that was presented had an Intel 8088 microprocessor running at 4.77 MHz (megahertz), 16 kB (kilobytes) of random-access memory (RAM), no disk drives, and a pricetag of $1,565 (allowing for inflation, that would be nearly $4,000 today).

On this date: In 1867, President Andrew Johnson sparked a move to impeach him as he defied Congress by suspending Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton.

In 1898, fighting in the Spanish-American War came to an end.

In 1941, Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, head of the government of Vichy France, called on his countrymen to give full support to Nazi Germany.

In 1944, during World War II, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., eldest son of Joseph and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, was killed with his copilot when their explosives-laden Navy plane blew up over England.

In 1953, the Soviet Union conducted a secret test of its first hydrogen bomb.

In 1960, the first balloon communications satellite — the Echo 1 — was launched by the United States from Cape Canaveral.

In 1962, one day after launching Andrian Nikolayev into orbit, the Soviet Union also sent up cosmonaut Pavel Popovich; both men landed safely Aug. 15.

In 1985, the world’s worst single-aircraft disaster occurred as a crippled Japan Air Lines Boeing 747 on a domestic flight crashed into a mountain, killing 520 people.

(Four people survived.)

One year ago: General Motors Co. chief Ed Whitacre announced he was stepping down as CEO on Sept. 1, 2010, saying his mission was accomplished as the company reported its second straight quarterly profit.

Today’s Birthdays: Former Senator Dale Bumpers, D-Ark., is 86. Actor George Hamilton is 72. Actress Dana Ivey is 70.

Actress Jennifer Warren is 70. Rock singermusician Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) is 62.

Actor Jim Beaver is 61. Singer Kid Creole is 61. Jazz musician Pat Metheny is 57. Actor Sam J. Jones is 57. Actor Bruce Greenwood is 55. Country singer Danny Shirley is 55.

Pop musician Roy Hay (Culture Club) is 50. Rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot is 48. Actor Peter Krause (KROW’-zuh) is 46. International Tennis Hall of Famer Pete Sampras is 40.

Actor-comedian Michael Ian Black is 40.

Actress Yvette Nicole Brown is 40. Actress Rebecca Gayheart is 40. Actor Casey Affleck is 36. Rock musician Bill Uechi (Save Ferris) is 36. Actress Maggie Lawson is 31. Actress Dominique Swain is 31. Actress Imani Hakim (“Everybody Hates Chris”) is 18.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 12, 2011— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: For the past 10 years, my son, now a medical student, has dreaded having dinner with his father.

His dad and I separated more than 20 years ago, and every encounter with the children has included his father’s wife.

She dominates the conversation, makes idiotic comments, talks about how wonderful her four children are and totally excludes my son. She even had the nerve to refer to her children as “your Dad’s family now.”

My son was not congratulated for making it into an Ivy League college, getting into medical school or being at the top of his class. His father missed his college graduation party because his wife wanted to go bowling.

When we first separated, my son had dinner with his father at least once a week, and he really enjoyed the time they spent together. Now, my son rarely has time alone with his father and finds his wife self-serving and obnoxious. The sad part is, Dad doesn’t have the backbone to leave his wife at home on occasion. All my son wants to do is spend a little quality time with his father. How can I help? -- Mother of a Wonderful Son Dear Mom: It is best if your son handles this directly.

Urge him to ask his father about having some one-onone time. If you regularly speak to your ex, you can tell him how much it would mean to your son to have some special bonding time with Dad. Other than that, however, please stay out of it, and under no circumstances should you repeat any of the unkind things you said about his current wife. Regardless of how you feel or what she may be like, it will not help your son if you (or he) treat her with disdain.

Dear Annie: I have a friend with a troubled son. “Zane” is 23, has no job, lives at home and has been in trouble with the law. I believe he has a drinking problem and probably

a drug problem, as well.

My friend and her husband make a comfortable living, drive new cars and have an abundance of luxury items.

Several months ago, Zane briefly moved out of his parents’ home and applied for food stamps. He has since moved back, and my friend thinks it is perfectly OK for Zane to continue to receive food stamps. She says it helps pay for his room and board. She even goes shopping with him to make sure he buys what she wants for the house.

Should I keep my mouth shut? After all, it is my tax money that is supporting her lazy kid. -- Wondering Friend Dear Wondering: We do not know (and neither do you) whether Zane is still entitled to the food stamps. If you report it to the authorities as a violation, we guarantee the friendship is over. Instead, speak to the boy’s mother as the friend you claim to be. Encourage her to get help for her son rather than enabling him and postponing his ability to handle life’s challenges. In an effort to protect their children, parents can inadvertently cripple them.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Crying in California,” whose daughter died after a long illness. She was upset that her doctors did not bother to send a condolence card.

Maybe doctors don’t send condolences because their lawyers tell them not to. In our litigious society, such a note of condolence could be used to convince the grieving family that the doctor feels culpable and should be sued for malpractice. -- Len in L.A. Dear Len: Actually, the opposite appears to be the case.

Doctors who express condolences, including those who apologize, are less likely to be sued than those who are perceived to be too arrogant to care.

MOULTONBOROUGH — The terrace at the Carriage House at Castle in the Clouds, rated the best jazz venue in the state by New Hampshire Magazine, will be the site of a a different kind of sound on Tuesday evenings starting August 16.

Maine’s Chad Porter, will be serving up an exciting new musical night with the acoustic guitar contemporary rock and pop music from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Similar to the jazz nights, but with no charge and no reservations needed, the Castle is hoping that the local community will find this evening of lively contemporary music will be the start of a new tradition.

Sponsored by the Griffin Club of the Friends of the Castle, a group of supporters who want to expand the Castle’s offerings and reach a younger audience, the evening of contemporary music will be repeated on August 23 and September 6, 13 and 20.

Cocktails and the Carriage House Cafe’s menu will be available.

The Carriage House Art Gallery, has a new exhibit, “Lucknow and its Landscape”, photographs of the Castle property as interpreted by local photographers Susan Lirakis, Angie Moore, and Brenda Griffin of Sandwich, Bruce Taylor of Alton, Sandy Martin of Wofeboro and Dale Lary of Holderness.

Lary will also conduct a photography workshop on August 23-24 for 35mm cameras. There is a charge for the workshop (call 476-5900) but there is no separate charge for the art show. The show will be on view through the end of August.

Castle in the Clouds, a historic house museum, is open every day from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through October 22. For further information, visit www.castleintheclouds.org. To make reservations for special events call 476-5900
