Tilton & Franklin get federal money to clean up toxic sites BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
FRANKLIN — “This is an investment that protects our natural environment while promoting economic growth, said United States Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who was among those on hand yesterday to mark the award of federal grants to address polluted industrial sites in Frank-
lin and Tilton. Each municipality was awarded $200,000 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency through its “Brownfields Program” and both will apply the funds toward removing contaminated soil, asbestos and other toxic materials from sites that once housed automobile repair shops Ernie’s Auto Sales in Tllton and Guay’s
Garage In Franklin. In brief remarks, Shaheen stressed the high cost of cleaning up abandoned industrial properties and the importance of federal funding, without which the expense would be beyond the means of communities like Tilton and Franklin. “New Hampshire has a great tradition of preserving pristine see BROWNFIELDS page 10

LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson went to the City Council last night representing the Licensing Board simply to add a definition of a taxi cab to the city ordinances, but left with a promise of three pieces of equipment — a gator and two defibrillators — after a meeting lasting barely 45 minutes. The council quickly and unanimously approved the proposed definition of a taxi cab as any motor vehicle with a rated capacity of no more than seven passengers that does not operate on a fixed schedule schedule or between fixed pints and transports people from within the city to destinations either inside or outside of it. As the meeting drew to close, Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) suggested drawing from the fund accrued from the proceeds of Motorcycle Week to purchase a new gator, a small all-terrain utility vehicle, and the defibrillators, see COUNCIL page 14

Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. diagnosed with bipolar disorder
CHICAGO (AP) — U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a Chicago Democrat who took a hushed medical leave two months ago, is being treated for bipolar disorder, the Mayo Clinic announced Monday. The Rochester, Minn.based clinic specified his condition as Bipolar II, which is defined as periodic episodes of depression and hypomania, a less serious form of mania. “Congressman Jackson is responding well to the treatment and regaining his strength,” the clinic said in a statement. Bipolar II is a treatable condition that affects parts of the brain controlling emotion, thought and drive and is likely caused “by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors,” the clinic said. The statement also mentioned that Jackson underwent weight loss surgery in 2004 and said such a surgery can change how the body absorbs foods and medications, among other things. JACKSON page 17

Rebel video claims to show captured Syrian pilot BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels circulated dramatic video Monday of what they claimed was the downing of a warplane and armed men later holding the captured pilot who ejected as the MiG fighter was engulfed by flames. Syria acknowledged a pilot bailed out of a disabled plane but blamed the crash on a technical malfunction. The authenticity of the images or the claims could not be independently verified. If the rebels did bring down their first aircraft, that could signal a significant jump in their firepower and give opposition forces their most high-profile military captive. But wider questions remain even if the rebel reports are confirmed, including
whether this could be just a one-time blow against expanding air offensives by the forces of Bashar Assad’s regime. Just days ago, protesters across Syria pleaded for the rebels’ main backers — including Turkey and Gulf states — to send anti-aircraft weapons for outgunned fighters. Assad’s military has significantly stepped up aerial attacks in recent weeks. Strafing from warplanes and close-range missile strikes from helicopter gunships have pushed back rebels in key fronts such as Aleppo, the country’s largest city and the scene of fierce attacks to dislodge rebel positions. As the sun was setting on Monday, an Associated Press reporter saw two fighter jets over the village of Marea, 30 kilome-
ters (20 miles) north of Aleppo. Terrified residents collected on street corners and near the doors to their houses to watch and point as the jets dived low, dropping bombs that sent up clouds of smoke and firing machine guns that crackled over the village. On one crowded market street, a handful of rebels with rifles ran toward the site of the bombings. “What are you going to do, bring down a jet with a rifle?” a man screamed. After the jets left, young men on motorcycles rushed to the bombing site on the edge of the village to find two craters the size of cars in a dirt field next to a swimsee SYRIA page 15
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — The family of a gunman killed in a shootout near the Texas A&M campus that also left two other people dead Monday afternoon say they are “distraught by the havoc that he has caused.” Police say Thomas Alton Caffall, 35, opened fire on Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann just after noon as the lawman brought an eviction notice. Both men were later pronounced dead at a hospital. A 51-year-old man was the third person killed in the shootings at an off-campus home not far from the university’s football stadium, College Station Assistant Police Chief Scott McCollum said. Three other
law enforcement officers and a 55-year-old woman were wounded, he said. Officers responding to reports of an officer down saw Bachmann wounded on the ground in the front yard, then got into what McCollum described as an extended shootout with Caffall, who eventually was shot. “Our hearts and prayers go out to the families and this is just a senseless tragedy,” said Courtney Clark, Caffall’s sister, reached Monday evening at her mother’s home in Navasota, about 20 miles to the south. “We are just distraught by the havoc that he has caused. We’re shocked.” She declined additional comment. Police spokeswoman Rhonda Seaton
said Chris Northcliff was outside the home when he was shot, as was the wounded woman, whose name had not been released by Monday evening. The woman was hospitalized in serious condition following surgery. One of the injured officers, Justin Oehlkee, was treated for a gunshot wound in the calf and was in stable condition, Seaton said. Two other officers — Brad Smith and Phil Dorsett, were treated for “shrapnel injuries” and released, Seaton said. Police declined to speculate on a motive for the gunfire. The shootings prompted Texas A&M see SHOOTING page 15

Ryan traveled perilous Panetta: Pakistan military plans to open new front budget path to VP spot
WASHINGTON (AP) — Paul Ryan traveled a perilous route to political stardom. While other lawmakers nervously whistled past trillion-dollar deficits, fearing to cut popular programs, he waded in with a machete and a smile. Ryan wants to slice away at Medicare, food stamps and virtually every other government program but the military. Democrats, led by President Barack Obama, have made him their budget boogeyman. Even many fellow Republicans were reluctant to follow him at first. But Ryan has become a hero to deficit hawks. Twice now, the Republican-led House has embraced his austere budget plans. And in these tea partyinfused, economically bleak days, Ryan’s fiscal ideas have moved into the Republican Party’s mainstream, just in time to be tested in the 2012 elections. As Mitt Romney’s vice presidential pick, the GOP’s boisterous budget outrider is now its loudest voice on taxes and spending. Romney calls his running mate an intellectual leader of the party with a “bold and exciting” budget plan. But Romney also has been careful to note, without elaboration, that he doesn’t necessarily agree with all of Ryan’s ideas. Indeed, some of the Wisconsin congressman’s previous suggestions — on the shelf since he ascended to the chairmanship of the House Budget Committee in 2011 — were politically riskier. They included privatizing Medicare and part of Social Security and ending taxes on interest and investment income, meaning some wealthy investors like Romney might owe virtually nothing. Ryan has backed off those proposals, but he still stirs controversy. Some of his current ideas: SHRINK THE DEFICIT For Ryan, it all starts with putting the brakes on the nation’s out-ofcontrol debt. For years he’s been wielding colorful charts and graphs to sound the alarm about annual deficits topping $1 trillion. In March, the House passed a federal budget outline based on Ryan’s plans that would protect the Pentagon but reduce spending on almost everything else, including highways and farm programs, NASA and weather forecasts,
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pakistan has told U.S. military officials that it plans to launch combat operations against Taliban militants soon in a tribal area near the Afghan border that also serves as a haven for leaders of the al-Qaida-affiliated Haqqani network, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday. Speaking to The Associated Press in his Pentagon office, Panetta said Pakistan’s military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, discussed the planned operation in recent conversations with the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen. Panetta said he did not know when the Pakistani operation would start, but he said he understands it will be in the “near future,” and that the main target will be the Pakistani Taliban, rather than the Haqqani network. Panetta welcomed Kayani’s initiative, even though the main target may not be the Haqqani leadership.
Thank you for your generous support!
see RYAN page 17
“They’ve talked about it for a long time. Frankly, I’d lost hope that they were going do anything about it. But it does appear that they in fact are going to take that step.” Panetta also revealed that the U.S. is providing additional military assistance to peacekeeping forces in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in order to strengthen security in the region. But he said that so far the Pentagon has not moved to send additional U.S. troops to the Sinai. A truck-mounted tracking system sent to the Sinai will allow troops to follow friendly forces. “We just want to make sure that we know how those forces are deployed in order to insure that we can more effectively go after those terrorists that would try to create an incident or terrorist act,” Panetta said. see PANETTA page 16

What do women want? President Obama was in Colorado on Wednesday trying to solidify his lead among women, appearing at rallies with Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown Law student who made headlines when Rush Limbaugh called her a “slut” (for which he later apologized, in some people’s view because of advertiser pressure) after she testified in favor of insurance coverage of contraceptives. Invoking his appointments to the Supreme Court and warning of the threat a Mitt Romney court could pose, he attacked his competitor for “policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century.” It was a speech I could’ve written. As a matter of fact, it was a speech I did write, over and over again, in mostly unsuccessful campaigns. I used to joke that when a candidate is giving speeches about what the Supreme Court will look like, you know he’s in trouble. Obama is not in anything like the trouble my candidates were in back in the days when I was in charge of “women’s issues.” But I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I see all these stories about the president addressing “women’s issues” in order to get the “women’s vote.” Does it mean that every other day he is addressing “men’s issues”? Have you ever read a campaign story about men’s day? Maybe when a candidate visits a firing range or goes hunting or is photographed, as Romney has been in the past, in full hunting regalia? I’m not sure. If someone had told me back in the 1980s, when this was my turf, that candidates would be giving the same speech in 2012, I would not have believed it. Then again, if someone had told me that women CEOs of Fortune 500 companies had yet to break the 5-percent barrier, I wouldn’t have believed that either. Are we still fighting about abortion? Could we really be fighting about contraception? And are these the issues that will drive women’s votes? The answers, sadly, are yes. If you don’t think so, wait till you compare the two parties’ platforms or, better yet, watch the committees in
action. Lee Atwater’s vision of a “big tent” in the Republican Party that would not be divided by the choice issue seems even more remote now than it did a couple of decades ago. If you look at the polls, it is certainly true that more women want to control their bodies themselves than to give that control to government and the courts. And yet, states keep passing laws making it more difficult for women to do so, and lawsuits keep getting brought, and judges keep making decisions that should not be theirs to make. It saddens me how many decades of my life I have spent litigating and advocating and writing about abortion, long after the time when it was an issue in my life. Even so, at the end of the day, when women enter the voting booth, I think what they want is pretty close to what men want: jobs, an economy that will support themselves and their children, real security. I think the gender gap between the parties may have as much to do with the fact that women tend to be closer to the bottom of the economic ladder, that there are so many single mothers trying to support kids on their own, so many elderly women alone and worrying about the future, so many working women who still are not earning enough to make ends meet. And by the way, there are also plenty of men out there who think personal decisions belong to the person and not to the government, men with mothers and wives and daughters whose lives and futures, hardships and all, they care about as much as their own. So maybe sometime, in my daughter’s and son’s lifetimes if not my own, we can move beyond “women’s issues” as distinct from just issues — and “women’s days” on the campaign trail as opposed to just calling it “Wednesday.” (Susan Estrich is a professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California Law Center.

Comtois & Cormier great candidates to represent Barnstead & Alton To the editor, I write this letter in support of two great candidates for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Guy Comtois is running for re-election in the town of Barnstead. True to his word, Guy has kept every promise made to his constituents. He has been a friend to the farmer, small business person, and to the working families of his district. Honest, principled and determined to bring positive change to Concord, Guy is a fighter against the tax and spenders. We need to reelect him.
Jane Cormier is an unabashed conservative who will stand for fiscal restraint and smaller government. In speaking with her, I have come to understand the true meaning of the word conviction. Jane’s core principles and obvious enthusiasm show that Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton would be fortunate to have such representation. I am proud to support Guy Comtois and Jane Cormier for office. Don Walker Barnstead
LETTERS A $900k study to reduce lake phosphorus level by just 5%? To the editor, I just received a mailer today and this evening I took the time to read it — “Black Brook Watershed Management Plan”. DES wants to study a 3,000 acre area at a cost of $900,000. and then put regulations and controls in place to control non-point sources, which means everyone’s lawns, driveways and property will come under control of DES in this area; you may need a permit from the state to fertilize your lawn or to own cows or horses in these areas after all they would contribute to the phosphorus problem! These are the same people that brought us the Shoreline Protection Act, which put strict controls on properties within 250 feet of a body of water; to rebuild a home in this area and get a building permit can cost up to $10,000, with all that is involved! Their intent is to reduce phosphorus level by 5-percent with a study costing $900,000. and what is not told is the action that will be taken based on the study will no doubt cost several million! No thank you Don Foudriat! I can’t justify that kind of spending as a taxpayer of Sanbornton or a Budget Committee member, when Lower Bay road is falling apart as well as concerns for other roads and bridges all over town and we still have to pay for the Y project (the rebuilding of Bay Rd, Upper bay Rd, Steel Hill
Rd). Wasn’t it two years ago you went before the selectman and the Budget Committee asking for $30,000 for a study of the watershed, which would give us answers and solve our problems? Now one study leads to another, even more expensive! The selectmen have asked the departments in town to level fund their departments in the past year and I am sure they intend to try to minimize any increases this year. There are many people in our town who can barley afford their taxes on their property now and don’t need to be further burdened with a study that even if implemented can’t guarantee that it will reduce the phosphorus levels by 5-percent. If DES wants to make a difference lets see them set an example at state owned property the former State School locate on Parade Road in Laconia and extends all the way down to Lake Winnisquam, a mess the state created or solve the duck itch problem which personally bothers me more than the phosphorus. I will attend your meetings August 17 and 24, and hopefully many other taxpayers will also. Let’s keep control of our own property and spend the limited money we generate from property taxes to maintaining what we have! Earl Leighton, Jr. Sanbornton
We Americans must admit these crimes & acknowledge arrogance To the editor, When the United States military initiated aerial attacks on Iraq the term used was: “Shock and Awe.” Johnson’s jargon for massive bombing in Vietnam was: “Rolling Thunder.” Of course they were other euphemisms e.g. “enhanced interrogation” and “detainee” for prisoners of war held indefinitely and often tortured. These poetic labels disguised and romanticized brutal acts of war against opposing forces and innocent civilians. Yet they often appear in print used in a casual or humorous way! I met a young man who had served in Iraq during ‘03, when the war broke out. He told me he was there for “Shock and Awe” (his very words.) I corrected him, knowing he was an honorable serviceman doing his duty, saying it
should be titled, “Death and Destruction!” “Rolling Thunder” across Vietnam and other nearby countries help kill three million Vietnamese people. It is shameful that Americans can trivialize war crimes by giving these horrendous acts frivolous names, as if we never understood the impact of a massive assaults on third-world countries. I’m convinced that until we admit to these crimes and acknowledge our blatant arrogance and disdain for truth, the acts of war will continue and will someday corrupt our minds and hearts, causing more needless death and misery to (suspected) enemies around the world.

Romney’s release of tax documents is exceptionally slim, in fact To the editor, I have just about had it with the exaggerations and outright lies that have been published in the letters to the editor section. What has finally got me to put pen to paper is Greg Knytych’s letter on Friday, which is chock full of inaccuracies concerning tax returns released by presidential candidates. A quick fact check at the website www.
politifact.com was all it took to give a more accurate take on the situation. As we know, Gov. Romney has provided his 2010 return and his preliminary return for 2011. He says will release the final version for 2011, but no additional years. This is a man who admits that he kept money in offshore accounts until 2010 when the U.S. tightened down on regulations. see next page

phant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate: The Essential Guide for Progressives” Sept 2004, a key advisor to the Democrat Party, originated that party ideology. For it to be suggested that we, the general population are somehow misinformed as to what concept Obama was putting forward I suppose, in the least, is a sad commentary on decades of public school education. What liberals don’t understand is that without private enterprise jobs there would be no money to pay taxes, everyone would take care of their own needs and have no “income” to tax. Government doesn’t create wealth it just taxes it, whether it is the gold miner, silver smith, wine maker or the consumers purchase; if government takes too much out of one or the other link in the chain it will break. FDR established by edict a 100-percent tax on income over $25,000 in 1942, Congress lowered it to 97-percent the nation survived, JFK lowered the upper tax rate from 91-percent to 70-percent — 21-percent and the nation’s economy grew; the combined cuts of GW Bush were only 8.1-percent. As to communitarianism, it was originally used by Dorothy Day in the 1930s, an anarchist who help established the Catholic Workers movement. Today’s liberals have some difficulty with self definition and have had to borrow and take possession of so many terms and ideas. Even the term liberal is borrowed and converted such that those yet adhering to the original philosophy are termed classical liberals or libertarians. As I have written before, it was the Democrats both north (Franklin Pierce) and south who supported slavery, and lost the Civil War to a Republican (Abraham Lincoln) who issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Yet today the Democrats seem possessed by the idea of unlimited government control, and easily vilify those who would hold to the constitutions guarantee of limited government. G.W. Brooks Meredith

To the editor, Obama was speaking to a group at a campaign event on July 13 outside Roanoke Fire Station #1 in Roanoke, Virginia: “Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.” Not true, Joseph Licklider working on a PDP-1 demonstrated interconnecting of computers and the military picked up on it for its “own” uses. There was no intent for it to have general public use. “So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together.” I couldn’t find that any one of the founders ever said that but if it had been it was said in the context of framing the federal Constitution to create a limited government so as that the “people” could. “That’s how we funded the GI Bill.” True it was funded from the federal taxing powers. “That’s how we created the middle class.” True, in the U.S. there was never a middle class until politicians created the designation, simply by dividing varying levels of income. (One might remember not long ago they spoke all about helping the poor, the lower class and now it’s the middle class; it won’t be long before the upper middle class will be those needing help! “That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam.” The Bridge did have government bonds issued but no one was buying them; the government hadn’t yet gotten into the habit of printing money not backed by gold, so the bridge was financed by Amadeo Giannini, the founder of the Bank of America. So we come to the other part of Obama’s campaign speech. Obama was parroting Elizabeth Warren’s speech of a year ago. Look her up, she worked for Obama on the conception and establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “Warren-Obama didn’t do that, ...” George Lakoff of the University of California who wrote, “Don’t Think of an Ele-

Northfield burglary suspect held on $20,000 bail; alleged accomplice remains at large FRANKLIN — While Northfield Police and the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force continue to seek her accomplice, the Tilton woman who was charged with criminal conduct of another/burglary and breach of bail was ordered held on $20,000 cash bail after appearing in the 6th Emily Bundy (Courtesy photo) Circuit Court, Franklin Division yesterday afternoon. Emily Bundy, 28, of 251 Main St. in Tilton is accused by Northfield Police for allegedly knocking on the screen door of 169 Cross Mill Road and then allegedly keeping watch while her boyfriend Fred Fiske, 32, of the same address allegedly entered the home. Northfield Police affidavits said the homeowner was in the bedroom at about 10 a.m. Friday when she told police she heard a knock on her screen door and a female voice say “hello.” She said she looked out her window and saw a man and a woman in her driveway who she later identified as Fiske and Bundy. About one minute later she said she heard her screen door close. She left the bedroom and confronted Fiske who was allegedly standing in her living room. The home owner told police Fiske fled the house and ran down the road and she saw the woman run in the same direction as the man. Two Northfield police officers, including Lt. John Raffaelly, went to the Winnipesaukee River Trail, which is close to the house, and saw Fiske and Bundy. They identified themselves as police officers and briefly questioned the two. Fiske allegedly resisted arrest, physically assaulted Raffaelly and fled into the woods.
Raffaelly said yesterday he deployed his Taser but only one prong stuck in Fiske and “it takes two to work.” Raffaelly also said he was not seriously injured. Police took Bundy into custody and were able to recover a backpack that one of them was allegedly carrying. Initially, said police, Bundy refused to cooperate, refused to tell them her name or the name of the man who fled into the woods. Not knowing if there were weapons or dangerous items in the backpack, police searched it and found a diamond ring, a wedding band, a Rolex watch, and multiple prescription pill bottles, including one for hydrocodone - a narcotic pain killer. Franklin Police had images of Fiske and Tilton Police had images of Bundy and the two police officers were able to use those to identify the man who fled into the woods and the woman in their custody. The victim confirmed the identifications. While this was unfolding, Northfield Police received a second call from residents on nearby Hodgdon Road who said their home had been burglarized while they were briefly out that same morning.
A different Northfield resident also reported seeing two individuals matching the description of Fiske and Bundy walking in the area of Zion Hill about 15 minutes before they were called, also near Cross Mill and Hodgdon Roads. Residents with missing items were asked to come down to the police station and identify items that may have been stolen from their homes. One resident identified the diamond ring, which he said had an approximate value of $8,000, and the prescription pills as his. As of 2 p.m., Raffaelly said they still haven’t identified the owner of the Rolex. Police said at the time of the burglary, Bundy was free on bail after being charged by the Tilton Police on August 5 for receiving stolen property. Raffaelly said police obtained a search warrant for the couple’s Tilton apartment but said although it appeared Fiske had gone there after eluding police he had “cleared out.” Police continue to look for Fiske. He is described as being a white male, approximated 5-feet 7-inches tall and of medium build. He has dark hair. Police say Fiske should be considered dangerous and if anyone has any information as to his whereabouts they should call the Northfield Police at 286-8514.
from preceding page What was going on during all of those years? How much did he pay in taxes? Did he pay on money he was storing in vaults in other countries? I think for the sake of clarity if nothing else, he should release more tax returns. His opponent, President Barack Obama released seven years of tax returns in 2008 (as did his challenger Hillary Clinton). Bill Clinton, contrary to Mr. Knytych’s claims, released 12 years of tax returns, as did Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney. George W. Bush provided NINE years of tax
returns and Al Gore eight. Sen. Bob Dole set a record in the 1996 election when he released 30 years of tax returns. Only two general election candidates in the last 20 years have released TWO years of tax returns, Sen. John McCain in 2008 and Gov. Mitt Romney. (www.

Portsmouth psychologist’s license suspended in wake of prostitution charges
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Board of Mental Health has temporarily suspended the license of a psychologist who’s been accused of running a prostitution business out of his Portsmouth apartment.
The board has scheduled a court hearing for Alexander Marino on Aug. 27 in Concord on whether his behavior constitutes professional misconduct. The order dated Friday suspends Marino’s license to practice in Exeter. He was arrested earlier this month on
charges that he knowingly allowed his apartment to be used for prostitution and benefited financially from it. He also was charged with marijuana possession. It is unknown if Marino has a lawyer. A message left at his office wasn’t immediately returned Monday.
Nothing has changed but the name.

Holden leaving Belmont High School for assistant superintendent position in Camden, Maine BELMONT — Belmont High School Principal Russell Holden is leaving the Shaker Regional School District to take the position of assistant superintendent in Camden, Maine, the district has announced. Holden has been the principal of Belmont High since 2007 when he left Prospect Mountain Regional High School. In 2007 he was named N.H. Principal of the Year. School Board Chair Pret Tuthill said he knew Holden had been seeking a superintendent’s position for a few years. He said the timing of the announcement is “odd” and he doesn’t know why Holden was offered the position in August. Typically, school administration changes occur in late spring. “Things just roll down I guess,” he said. Tuthill said Asst. Principal Dan Clary will be the interim principal for the upcoming school year and Richard Acquilano will be interim vice principal while keeping his responsibilities and title as athletic director. Tuthill said the School Board, which is also beginning its budget process for next school year, will decide later in the year as to how and when to advertise for a permanent replacement high school principal and superintendent. “No decisions have been made at this point,” he said. — Gail Ober
Belarus shot putter stripped of Olympic gold LONDON (AP) — Just hours after the close of the Olympics, a female shot putter from Belarus was stripped of her gold Monday in the first case of an athlete losing a medal for doping at the London Games. With the disqualification of Nadzeya Ostapchuk, the gold medal was awarded to Valerie Adams of New Zealand — who winds up as Olympic champion for the second time in a row. The International Olympic Committee said Ostapchuk, a former world champion, tested positive for steroids both before and after winning the shot put last week for her first Olympic gold. After an IOC hearing, she was formally expelled from the games and had her victory and medal removed from the records. She was the eighth athlete, and first medalist, caught during the IOC’s London drug-testing program. “Catching cheats like this sends a message to all those who dope that we will catch them,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams told The Associated Press. Track and field’s governing body, the IAAF, will consider further action against Ostapchuk, who could face a two-year ban from the sport. Adams was bumped up from Olympic silver to gold, with Evgeniia Kolodko of Russia upgraded to silver and fourth-place finisher Gong Lijiao of China moved up to bronze. Adams now has a second gold to go with her victory in Beijing four years ago. “I am speechless with this news,” she told New Zealand’s national broadcaster TVNZ from her base in Switzerland. “It is taking me some time to take this in. It is huge and I am absolutely thrilled of course. It makes me extraordinarily proud as a New Zealander. “It is also encouraging for those athletes, like myself who are proud to compete cleanly, that the system works and doping cheats are caught.” Adams’ New Zealand teammates were ecstatic when they learned she would get the gold after all. “Everyone cried — it was pretty emotional,” said Annalie Longo, a member of the women’s football team, as she left the athletes village Monday. “We’re just so happy, she worked so hard and she totally deserved the gold medal.”

16 year-old injured after colliding with car on Union Ave. LACONIA — A local boy injured his leg while he crossed Union Avenue against the light and struck a car traveling through the intersection. Police said the boy came from the north on Main Street and the car was headed west on Union Avenue. The boy, a 16 year-old riding a BMX style bicycle, reportedly collided with the front passenger side of Devi Dhital’s vehicle. Police said there was minor damage to Dhital’s car. Witnesses reported that
Dhital was proceeding through the intersection under a green traffic light. The boy’s leg was injured and he was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital for further evaluation. He was not wearing a helmet. Laconia Police are asking parents to talk to their children about the “rules of the road,” how to safely cross intersections, and bicycle helmet safety. — Gail Ober
Man sentenced for eavesdropping on public officials
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man was sentenced to a little less than three months behind bars for secretly recording conversations with Manchester police and school officials. The recordings made by 30-year-old Adam Mueller in October were posted on a blog affiliated with the website copblock.org, which claims to police the police. Mueller, who represented himself at his trial, was convicted Monday on three counts of wiretapping less than an hour after arguing that the law shouldn’t apply to secretly recording public officials. “I know I didn’t cause them any harm — physical or otherwise,” Mueller told jurors, stressing he called them while they were at their public jobs. He told them he was seeking “jury nullification” of the wiretapping law — which prohibits recording of conversations without all parties’ consent. Assistant County Attorney Michael Valentine told jurors Mueller wanted to make up his own law and have them apply it. “The defendant doesn’t want to follow the law and he’s essentially asking you to join him in not following the law,” Valentine said. Police say the recordings were made in conjunction with an October incident in which a student videotaped a school security officer handcuffing another student who became disorderly during a stolen purse dispute. Mueller posted tape recordings of conversations with Manchester High School West receptionist Denise Michael and Principal Mary Ellen McGorry and Police Capt. Jonathan Hopkins about the video on his blog. McGorry testified Monday that she had learned about the website just days before the videotaping. She
said some students were talking about it and about having met with the “copblock” group’s members. She said the student who videotaped the incident said he had cut class because he “thought something might go down.” She also testified that same student showed up at school wearing a T-shirt with the inscription, “I don’t talk to cops. I videotape them.” Mueller was in custody before his trial started, nearing the end of a 60-day sentence for resisting arrest after chalking messages on the police department’s walls 14 months ago. When asked by Hillsborough Superior Court Judge Kenneth Brown if he wanted to be delay sentencing, Mueller replied, “I’m already in jail. We might as well get it over with.” Mueller faced a maximum of 21 years in prison on all three counts. Valentine sought a one-year sentence, saying Mueller’s intent in committing the crimes was to disrupt government and public officials. He said a one-year sentence would serve as deterrence to Mueller and his supporters who packed the courtroom. “I don’t regret what I did,” Mueller told Brown. “I don’t think jails were built for people who make phone calls or chalk buildings.” He said locking him up would not deter him from being an activist. Brown gave him a three-month sentence on one of the convictions, saying, “I don’t accept the state’s reasoning,” but he did not elaborate. He also granted Mueller’s request to have the sentence run concurrent with his resisting arrest sentence, effectively shaving five days off the new sentence. Brown gave him suspended 1- to 3-year sentences on the other two convictions to deter future crimes. After court, about a dozen of Mueller’s supporters see next page

Perspectives: Pt. III of VI Public information sessions scheduled in Sanbornton Last week we discussed some the land mines that dotted refor ongoing Black Brook Watershed Management Plan oftirement. I elaborated in some
SANBORNTON - Interested residents are asked to attend one of two upcoming information sessions regarding the ongoing Black Brook Watershed Management Plan. The sessions, to be held at Old Town Hall at 7 p.m. on this Friday and on August 24, are to release the recommendations of the $41,000 2010 study that ultimately led to the Maple Circle project that was funded as a “shovel ready project” through the federal stimulus grants. According to Don Foudriat, who is coordinating the management plan for the town, the nearly $238,000 left over from the Maple Circle project will be used to construct a box culvert at the intersection of Black Brook and Black Brook Road. The grant allowed the town to repair the drainage through the Sanbornton Town Beach, Maple Circle, Gray Road and Shute Road. The entire area washed out in a heavy downpour during July of 2006. He said the state Department of Environmental Services was instrumental in getting the excess from the Maple Circle project redirected to Black Brook Road culvert. Foudriat said yesterday the study, the final results of which were given to the town in May of 2012, recommended a total of $900,000 additional “best practice management” recommendations that would reduce the level of phosphorus that empties into Lake Winnisquam via the Black Brook Watershed. He said the projected $247,000 box culvert project is part of the overall recommendations leaving the balance of the work recommended by the study at about $650,000. “Most of (the projects) are not that big but are items that need attention not only from Sanbornton but from the other communities who are on Lake Winnisquam,” Foudriat said. He said he has made presentations regarding the study to the Conservation Commission, the Planning Department and to the selectmen and the two
information sessions to be held this Friday and next are to present the findings to the rest of the community. He has also used $450 of the original $41,000 grant to send 1,300 mailers to all of the mailboxes in Sanbornton. “It is a requirement of the grant that we educate and inform the general public about the recommendations,” he said. Foudriat said the overall plan is to reduce the phosphorus from what are called “non-point” sources by five percent. Those fixes include things like water runoff during storms, building sites and construction projects and snow melt. Aside from Black Brook, he said there are about 30 identifiable sources of phosphorous in the management plan. Too much phosphorus contributes to the growth of algae and invasive milfoil that chokes out other natural growth in New Hampshire’s lakes. He also said he has asked the Board of Selectmen to set in motion a process by which the town, with assistance from the DES and the federal Environmental Protection Agency can raise about $100,000 for some projects in the next budget year. Budget Committee Chair Earl Leighton is not sold. In a letter he sent he sent to the Daily Sun in response to his mailer, he said he can’t justify spending money on more studies when Lower Brook Road and other town roads are in such poor condition. He said he is also leery of what he believes will be more restrictions on what people can do with their property, much like the Shoreline Water Protection Act that was amended two years ago to the Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act. “There are many people in our town who can barely afford their taxes of their property and now don’t need to be further burdened with a study that even if implemented can’t guarantee that it will reduce the phosphorus level by five percent,” Leighton wrote. — Gail Ober
from preceding page heckled Valentine as he walked back to his office, with one calling him “sadistic” and others spewing expletives at him. They had applauded Mueller after the verdicts were returned and stood as he reappeared in the courtroom for sentencing. State Rep. Kevin Warden, R-Goffstown, attended the court proceedings and said afterward that he
thought prosecuting Mueller was “a travesty and a total waste of taxpayer dollars.” Warden — a member of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee — said the committee has debated whether the law is too ambiguous and needs to be overhauled with an eye toward increasing public officials’ accountability. He said the case should spur the Legislature to act.

detail that longer life expectancies require our pensions to provide needed income through our eighties and perhaps beyond. Social Security reserves are being impacted as we are living longer and more workers are needed to support aging beneficiaries. In fact by 2025, 2.3 workers will be supporting 1 beneficiary (Source: 2009 Annual Report of the board of Trustees of the Federal Old Age and Survivors Insurance and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Funds May 12, 2009). Lastly, we incur 80% of our health care costs during the last 20% of our lives. Even as this seems ominous, the Federal Government still needs to address the health costs associated with obesity and smoking as they were not addressed in the 2010 health care reform legislation. Retirees Will Need Added Guarantees in the Future Thinking real hard on this aspect one should consider viable income options outside of the Government and Social Security. Every day in the news we see that budgets are being adversely affected by the negative prevailing situation of our economy. Higher taxes and less revenues going to government coffers is straining state and local budgets too. Look at the state of New Jersey as an example. The State of New Jersey is rolling back increases in pension benefits to public employees. There are almost $46 billion in unfunded liabilities. New Jersey has passed laws rolling back a 9% increase in pension benefits and barring part-time workers from enrolling in the state pension system (John Litchfield and Cheryl Russell “Sarkozy follows Europe in raising retirement age”, The Independent, May 2010.) Employer plans are going to be a thing of the past! Corporations are also re- evaluating their defined benefit plans in light of new accounting rules that now require the funding status of pension plans to appear on corporate balance sheets. It’s my belief that CEO’s cannot print money to pay bills, but instead must prove to shareholders that they are good stewards of the company’s money. This pressure is unlikely to boost intent to guarantee retirement income benefits for employees at most firms. Individual Investors Pre and post retirees felt the 2008-2009 severe bear market the most with a 57% decline in retirement accounts. These portfolio accounts lost more than $12 trillion nationally!! (Source: “Equity of dollars,” Flow of funds Accounts of the United States, center for Retirement Research at Boston College, March 2009) Investment vehicles and diversification strategies implemented during that time, intended to help people achieve their retirement goals, failed to protect them. Many investors who spent as many as 40 years accumulating wealth saw much of it evaporate almost overnight. Sadly, if you take big hits in the market it almost always affects your ability to enjoy your retirement. In conclusion, Americans have begun to come to grips with a striking reality: It is nearly impossible to feel secure about retirement income if most of it is not guaranteed. Next week we will look at the solutions of needed, guaranteed income streams and why it will be necessary for future retirees. Dave Kutcher is certified in Long-Term Care Planning (CLTC).

Franklin Business & Industrial Development Corp. endorses Northern Pass
FRANKLIN — The Board of Directors of the Franklin Business and Industrial Development Corporation [FBIDC] has formally endorsed the construction of the Northern Pass transmission project. The FBIDC cited the Northern Pass project’s beneficial economic and environmental benefits to the
BROWNFIELDS from page one public lands,” she continued. “But, it is a lot more challenging to bring a piece of land back from the brink after it’s already been polluted.” She congratulated Tilton and Franklin for accepting the challenge and predicted both communities would benefit. The Ernie’s Garage site is a 0.8-acre lot, bounded by Main Street (Route 3/11) to the north and the Winnipesaukee River to the south, housed a sawmill in 1859 and a box factory in 1892 before becoming a gas station, automotive repair shop and used car lot around 1939. Apart from the remains of a ramshackle building, the property has been vacant for the past decade. On the recommendation of the Conservation Commission, the town used conservation funds to purchase the property in 2011 and soon after a team of volunteers secured the building and removed the trash, but not the hazardous materials, from the site. Pat Consentino, who chairs the Board of Selectmen in Tilton, called the building on the site “an eyesore,” a judgment confirmed by Police Chief Bob Cormier whose office overlooks the property. “Mother Nature’s wrecking crew has been eying the building for some time,” Consentino said, “and the timing of this grant couldn’t be better because if we don’t act soon, gravity will.” Throughout the grant application process, the town worked closely with the Winnipesaukee River Trail Association, which considered the property a major link in the stretch of trail following the river through Franklin, Tilton and Northfield. Ken Norton of the association said yesterday that the site is one of two locations being considered for the northern abutment for the so-called “Missing Link Bridge” joining sections of trail in Northfield and Tilton across the river to complete a trail of 5.1-miles. Shaheen, echoed by Tom Burack, Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, noted that the grant to Tllton contributed to bringing the trail project, which was undertaken by three communities — Tilton, Northfield and Franklin — to fruition.

in Franklin consists of a 2.4-acre lot and a sizable building, which includes a very old but structurally sound barn. “I once had a radiator replaced in this building,” confessed Mayor Ken Merrifield, “which I guess makes me a little responsible.” Although there are no specific plans for the property, it is suited to commercial use. As track traffic threatened to drown out her remarks, Shaheen paused to say “I can see why you want to redevelop
this property. This is really a busy site.” The EPA began its “Brownfields Program” in 1995. Since then it has awarded $188.1-million in grants to the six New England states and $18.7-million to New Hampshire. Ira Leighton, deputy regional administrator of the agency, said that Tilton and Franklin were the only two municipalities in the state to receive grants this year.

Company that develops software to fight financial terrorism relocates to Franklin
FRANKLIN — A company dedicated to detecting and preventing terrorist financing and money laundering has relocated from New Jersey to Franklin, creating more than a dozen jobs that have been filled by graduates and students of a local community college. AML Partners LLC, a software development center, was founded by Frank Cummings and Jonathan Almeida following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Experts in international banking compliance, they created the company to provide detection technology that prevents global financial crimes. “High-tech tools are critical to the success of counterterrorist financing and anti-money-laundering efforts and we’re at the forefront of developing the best tools,” said Cummings, CEO of AML Partners. “This enables us to look for indicators or behaviors of possible crimes, be it money laundering, terrorism or fraud.” The company’s flagship product, Surety, provides to financial institutions a cutting-edge tool to evaluate the risk for financial crime for all new customers, and it provides a powerhouse data-storage and analytical environment that enables institutions to comply with the myriad regulations found in the Bank Secrecy Act,
the Patriot Act, and other U.S. laws. “Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing efforts are critical at this point in history and the challenge is made exponentially more difficult by the use of technology to commit financial crimes,” he said. AML Partners opened in May at the Franklin Business Center. Cummings said having access to a hightech work force was critical in the decision to relocate. Three months after opening, AML Partners has hired 11 people and the average age of the workers is 24. “We found them in the community colleges — we raided New Hampshire Technical Institute,” Cummings said. “I don’t have any job openings because as soon as one becomes available, one of my people recommends a classmate, or an instructor recommends a student and the position is filled almost immediately.” AML Partners, which has 32 international banking customers in the U.S. and four other countries, expects to employ 20 people by the end of the year. Cummings decided in 2008 that he’d like to move the company out of New Jersey, but “we know what happened with the economy that year,” he said, referring to the recession.
Cynthia Harrington, business recruiter with the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development, worked with him for more than years before the business was relocated. “Often times, it takes years for a relocation or expansion to happen,” Harrington said. “It takes patience and ongoing communication, but it is always worth the wait. In this case, AML Partners is a 21st century company tackling a 21st century global threat from Franklin and hiring a workforce that is helping to keep our young people close to home.” Cummings, an avid outdoorsman who moved to New Hampshire a couple of years before relocating his business, said the Granite State was his first choice when the business was ready to expand. “Our day-to-day work with financial institutions occurs primarily in New York and at other financial centers worldwide, but New Hampshire is a terrific place to work on software development,” he said. “As a business relocating from New Jersey, we have benefited from the work ethic and the New Hampshire Advantage and we have found many highly skilled programmers from the state’s community colleges. The availability of a high-tech workforce in New Hampshire is critical for us.”
Butler, 2nd layman face charges of stealing documents from Pope Benedict XVI VATICAN CITY (AP) — A Vatican judge on Monday ordered the pope’s butler and a fellow lay employee to stand trial for the alleged pilfering of documents from Pope Benedict XVI’s private apartment, in an embarrassing scandal that exposed power struggles and purported corruption at the Holy See’s highest levels. The indictment accused Paolo Gabriele, a butler arrested at the Vatican in May, of grand theft — a charge that could bring up to six years in jail, although the pope could pardon his once-trusted aide after any conviction. Gabriele was also accused of taking a check for €100,000 (about $125,000) made out to Benedict and donated by a Spanish Catholic university from the papal quarters. Gabriele’s lawyer, Carlo Fusco, told The Associated Press that the check had “by chance” ended up in a pile of the pope’s paperwork Gabriele had accumulated in his apartment. Fusco said his client “had never taken money or any other economic advantage” in his role as butler. While the Vatican had insisted throughout the investigation that Gabriele, a 45-year-old married layman who lives with his family in Vatican City, was the only person under investigation, the indictment also orders trial for Claudio Sciarpelletti, a 48-year-old computer expert in the Secretariat of State office charged with aiding and abetting the butler. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told reporters that a three-judge panel would try the two defendants together. No date was set for the trial, which will be open to reporters, but Lombardi said it would start at the very earliest in late September, after the court returns from summer break. The Holy See has been on a defensive footing since documents alleging corruption and exposing power struggles began appearing in the Italian media in January. In May, the book “Sua Santita” (His Holiness) — by Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi — was published containing dozens of documents from the pope’s desk, including letters written to him. Lombardi said Monday that magistrates had not from preceding page wide benefits to the New Hampshire business community in the form of clean, lower cost power that is critical to efforts to maintain and attract businesses to our state and create jobs. “The power from Northern Pass will go to New Hampshire and will create millions of dollars in savings for New Hampshire businesses every year,” said Aberg. “Energy costs remain a critical aspect of economy, and it is important that the state encourage projects that will make businesses more profitable and allow greater investment and growth.”
taken on the wider, more serious issue revealed by the leaked documents— alleged corruption within the top ranks of the church. He said Vatican investigators would pursue other culprits, but sidestepped a question on whether a special panel of cardinals Benedict set up to deal with the scandal had made any inroads into the wider question of moral wrongdoing among those higher up. Benedict has reviewed the indictment, he said. Meanwhile, Greg Burke, a U.S. television journal-
ist recently hired by the Vatican as its senior communications adviser, told the AP that the Holy See didn’t expect the ongoing judicial probe to turn up any mastermind. The trial request and indictment basically lay out a script for what could be Gabriele’s line of defense when he goes before the tribunal — a religiously inspired, misguided, would-be whistleblower.

from preceding page quoted Gabriele as telling his interrogators after his arrest that he thought that the role of whistleblower in the church “belongs to the Holy Spirit, whom I felt in some way had entered into me.” A psychological expert who examined Gabriele during the probe concluded that he was unsuited for the job, which went from dawn to dusk and included serving the pope meals, helping him get dressed, attending morning Mass with Benedict and other assignments. The indictment said the experts had concluded that Gabriele suffered from “a grave psychological unease characterized by restlessness, tension, anger and frustrations.” The indictment quoted Gabriele as telling investigators that he was “motivated by my deep faith and by the desire that in the church light is shed on everything.” Vatican prosecutor Nicola Picardi quoted the butler as telling his interrogators that “seeing evil and corruption everywhere in the Church ... I was sure that a shock, even a media one, would have been healthy to bring the Church back on the right track.”
Lombardi indicated that “any possible pardon” from the pope for Gabriele, who has spent weeks in isolation in a Vatican security cell and now is under house arrest in Vatican City, would only come after the trial’s end. “It’s premature to speak of this now,” he said. Judge Piero Antonio Bonnet ruled that there was no evidence to indict Sciarpelletti — described in the indictment as an “acquaintance” of Gabriele in the tiny Vatican City — on a charge of revealing secrets and there was insufficient evidence for a charge of grand theft. Sciarpelletti’s office was searched hours after Gabriele’s May 23 arrest, and the computer expert spent a night in a Vatican holding cell. He was quickly released when it appeared clear that his role wasn’t a key one, Lombardi said. Lombardi left the door open for more developments, saying the probe at this point was only “partial.” Gabriele was also found to be in possession of a rare, 16th-century edition of Virgil’s “Aeneid.” He had asked the pope’s private secretary permission to bring it home so he could show it to his son’s school professor.
Johnny Pesky, beloved Red Sox player, manager and broadcaster, dies at 92 OSTON (AP) — Adored by generations of Red Sox fans, Johnny Pesky was so much a part of Boston baseball that the right-field foul pole at Fenway Park was named for him. Pesky, who played, managed and served as a broadcaster for the Red Sox in a baseball career that lasted more than 60 years, died Monday. He was 92. “The national pastime has lost one of its greatest ambassadors,” baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. “Johnny Pesky, who led a great American life, was an embodiment of loyalty and goodwill for the Boston Red Sox and all of Major League Baseball.” Pesky died just over a week after his final visit to Fenway, on Aug. 5 when Boston beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4. Yet for many in the legion of Red Sox fans, their last image of Pesky will be from the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park on April 20, when the man known for his warmth, kindness and outstanding baseball career was moved to tears at a pregame ceremony. By then he was in a wheelchair positioned at second base, surrounded by dozens of admiring former players and a cheering crowd. It was at another ceremony less than six years earlier that Pesky’s name was officially inscribed in the rich history of the Red Sox and their home, a fitting tribute to a career .307 hitter and longtime teammate and friend of Ted Williams. On his 87th birthday, Sept. 27, 2006, a plaque was unveiled at the base of the foul pole just 302 feet from home plate, designating it “Pesky’s Pole.” The term was coined by former Red Sox pitcher Mel Parnell, who during a broadcast in the 1950s recalled Pesky winning a game for him with a home run around the pole. From there, a legend seemed to grow that Pesky frequently curled shots that way — actually, only six of his 17 career home runs came at Fenway. In fact, team records show that Pesky never hit a home run at Fenway in which Parnell was the winning pitcher. Even though Pesky was a fan favorite, he still had his own place of notoriety in Boston’s drought of 86 years without a championship. He was long blamed for holding the ball on a key relay in Game 7 of the 1946 World Series, though it’s a place that many now think is undeserved. “Johnny Pesky will forever be linked to the Boston Red Sox,” Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said. “He has been as much a part of Fenway Park as his retired Number 6 that rests on the right-field facade, or the foul pole below it that bears his name.” Pesky died at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers, according to Solimine, Landergan and Richardson funeral home in Lynn. The funeral home did not announce a cause of death. “I’ve had an interesting life,” Pesky told The Associated Press in 2005. “I have no complaints.” In New York, a moment of silence was held at Yankee Stadium before Monday night’s game against the Texas Rangers. The crowd gave a nice
round of applause. Longtime Red Sox fans recall the days when Pesky was a talented shortstop and manager for the team. Younger ones saw him as an avuncular presence at the Red Sox spring training camp in Fort Myers, Fla. It was there that Pesky would encourage young players and hit grounders to infielders with his everpresent fungo bat. He stopped doing that as he aged but still spent time sitting in a folding chair, his bat by his side, signing autographs and chatting with fans of all ages. “I’ve had a good life with the ballclub,” Pesky told The AP in 2004. “I just try to help out. I understand the game, I’ve been around the ballpark my whole life.” Pesky was a special assignment instructor in 2004 when the Red Sox won their first championship in 86 years. Tears of joy glistened in his eyes when the World Series was over. “One of my career memories was hugging and kissing Johnny pesky after we won it all in 04, God Rest and God Bless his gentle soul, I miss you,” Curt Schilling, who starred on that team, tweeted. Current Red Sox players also took to Twitter. David Ortiz: “A very dark day today for red sox nation.” Jon Lester: “Just heard we lost one of the good ones today. A great player and an even better man, rest in peace Johnny, thank you for the memories.” Pesky played 10 years in the majors, the first seven-plus with Boston. His No. 6 was retired by the Red Sox at a ceremony in 2008. Pesky stood under an umbrella at home plate that day, wearing the team’s white home uniform. “All of Red Sox Nation mourns the loss of ‘Mr. Red Sox,’ Johnny Pesky,” Boston mayor Thomas Menino said. “He loved the game and he loved the fans — and we loved him. His dedication to the sport and his passion to improve the game through the mentorship of young players will be sorely missed. Our hearts go out to the Red Sox organization and all of Johnny’s family and many friends.” Born John Michael Paveskovich in Portland, Ore., Pesky first signed with the Red Sox organization in 1939 at the urging of his mother. A Red Sox scout had wooed her with flowers and his father with fine bourbon. His parents, immigrants from what is now Croatia, didn’t understand baseball, but they did understand that the Red Sox were the best fit for their son even though other teams offered more money. He played two years in the Red Sox minor league system before making his major league debut in 1942. That season he set the team record for hits by a rookie with 205, a mark that stood until 1997 when fellow Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra, with whom he became very close, had 209. He also hit .331 his rookie year, second in the American League only to Williams, who hit .356. Pesky spent the next three years in the Navy during World War II, see next page

Sink Your Teeth Into This…. The English language is full of expressions that refer to teeth – here are a few examples for you to chew on… You can “show your teeth” if you want to let someone know you’re angry or you can “lie through your teeth” if you don’t want to tell someone the truth! Did you “cut your teeth on something”? If so, you were getting your first experience in a particular type of work by learning the basic skills. Have you ever been “kicked in the teeth”? That’s too bad because someone has really let you down. Does scraping a chalkboard “set your teeth on edge”, or can you try to tolerate that noise and just “grit your teeth and bear it”? Would you “give your eye teeth” for a million dollar lottery ticket? If someone stole that ticket from you, would you “fight them tooth and nail” to get it back? If that person was a boxing champ who weighed 250 pounds and stood 6 foot 5 inches tall, you could possibly still win, but just “by the skin of your teeth”! It really is quite amazing what we can accomplish when we “take the bit between our teeth”. In closing, let me remind you that for some people making a dental appointment is “like pulling teeth” – which is to say it’s not easy. Your chances of keeping your teeth are a lot better if you get regular dental care. Have you had a dental examination this year? It’s easier than you might think… George T.

U.S. Navy ship collides with tanker near Straight of Hormuz DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer was left with a gaping hole on one side after it collided with an oil tanker early Sunday just outside the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The collision left a breach about 10 feet by 10 feet (three by three meters) in the starboard side of USS Porter. No one was injured on either vessel, the U.S. Navy said in a statement. The collision with the Panamanian-flagged and Japanese-owned bulk oil tanker M/V Otowasan happened about 1 a.m. local time. Photos released by the Navy showed workers standing amid twisted metal and other debris hanging down from the hole. The cause of the incident is under investigation, the Navy said, though the collision was not “combat related.” There were no reports of spills or leakages from either the USS Porter or the Otowasan, the Navy said. Navy spokesman Greg Raelson said the destroyer now is in port in Jebel Ali, Dubai. “We’re just happy there were no injuries,” he said. “An investigation is under way.” The USS Porter is on a scheduled deployment to the U.S. 5th Fleet, which is based in Bahrain, an island nation in the Gulf, near Iran. The Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Gulf, is a crowded and tense waterway where one-fifth of the
world’s oil is routed. Tensions have risen there over repeated Iranian threats to block tanker traffic in retaliation for tighter sanctions by the West. The sanctions are aimed at persuading Iran to abandon its uranium enrichment program, so far without success. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz show no sign of abating. The United States stoked the flames recently with an announcement that it will send U.S. Navy minesweepers and warships into the Gulf for exercises. The U.S. military maneuvers scheduled for September, to be joined by ships from about 20 American allies. This is part of a Pentagon buildup in the Gulf with more troops and naval firepower, seeking to rattle Iran and reassure Saudi Arabia and Washington’s other Gulf Arab partners worried about Iran’s influence and power. Iranian commanders and political leaders have stepped up threats and defiant statements in recent weeks over the Strait of Hormuz. While it appears unlikely that Iran is ready to risk an almost certain military backlash by trying to close Hormuz — which is jointly controlled with Oman — the comments from Tehran show that Iranian authorities see the strait as perhaps their most valuable asset in brinkmanship over tightening sanctions.
from preceding page although he did not see combat. He was back with the Red Sox through 1952, playing with the likes of Williams, who died in 2002, Bobby Doerr and Dom DiMaggio, before being traded to the Detroit Tigers. (In 2003, author David Halberstam told the story of Pesky, Williams, Doerr and DiMaggio in his book “The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship.”) Pesky was often said to have held the ball for a split second as Enos Slaughter made his famous “Mad Dash” from first base to score the winning run for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Red Sox in the deciding game of the 1946 World Series. With the score tied at 3, Slaughter opened the bottom of the eighth inning with a single. With two outs, Harry Walker hit the ball to center field. Pesky, playing shortstop, took the cutoff throw from outfielder Leon Culber-
son, and according to some newspaper accounts, hesitated before throwing home. Slaughter, who ran through the stop sign at third base, was safe at the plate, and the bestof-seven series went to the Cardinals. Pesky always denied any indecision, and analysis of the film appeared to back him up, but the myth persisted. “In my heart, I know I didn’t hold the ball,” Pesky once said. Pesky spent two years with the Tigers and Senators before starting a coaching career that included a two-year stint as Red Sox manager in 1963 and 1964. He came back to the Red Sox in 1969 and stayed there, even filling in as interim manager in 1980 after the club fired Don Zimmer. Pesky is survived by a son, David. His wife, Ruth, whom he married in 1944, died in 2005.
COUNCIL from page one which the Fire Department will place in appropriate locations. The city closed its books on the 89th running of Motorcycle Week with net revenue of $44,662.37, the most in five years. Last year, the City Council approved the purchase of two emergency defibrillators and undertook improvements to the boardwalk, leaving the account with a balance of some $136,000, which grew to about $180,600 with the surplus accrued this year. The 2012 city budget includes the purchase of one cruiser for the Police Department and a utility vehicle for the Fire Department for approximately $51,000, reducing the balance to $129,000. Hamel reminded his colleagues that Erickson has been seeking to replace the department’s aged gator for several years without success. The department has been able to acquire defibrillators from the state at discounted prices ands has already distributed some to places around the city where people are apt to congregate. Firefighter/EMTS have also trained citizens in the use of the defibrillators, which automatically explain themselves in the event of an emergency. Meanwhile, the council resolved to borrow $1.1-million through the sale of general obligation bonds or notes to finance the purchase of a fire engine for $380,00 and two dump trucks, a street sweeper and a backhoe for $580,000 as well as make improvements to a storage building at the Department of Public Works. City Manager Scott Myers told the council that the New Hampshire Department of Transportation has approved the design of the Main Street Bridge, which is scheduled to be reconstructed next year. The design includes reconfiguring the foot of Beacon Street West as it approaches the bridge to flatten the sharp curve in the road, allowing more space for 18-wheelers to negotiate the bend writhe greater ease. This portion of the project will be undertaken
at the expense of the city, while the state will contribute 80-percent of the cost of the remainder of the work, which is estimated at near $2.5-million. The council approved two changes to the zoning ordinance recommended by the Planning Board at the urging of the Conservation Commission. The commission proposed several amendments to the ordinance governing the shoreline protection district. The first would underline the prohibition against using fertilizers, apart from lime or wood ash or materials applied for agricultural purposes, by stressing that products containing phosphorus are strictly forbidden. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that the specific reference to phosphorus was in keeping with the “Don’t P in the Lake” initiative taken by the Lakes Region Planning Association and Winnipesaukee Watershed Association. Another change prohibits the application of chemical pesticides and herbicides as well as planting any of the species on the list of banned invasive species maintained by the New Hampshirew Department of Environmental Resources. Likewise, any invasive species encountered in the course of construction within the detract must be rendered inviable and disposed of properly. To stabilize the shoreline and forestall erosion, a vegetative buffer must be planted or maintained within 50 feet of the reference line. New structures and additions must be set back 50 feet from the reference line of public waters, the mean high water mark, provided that the vegetative buffer within 50 feet of the reference line is not disturbed. Although stumps within 50 feet of the shoreline can be ground down, they must not be removed. A second change reaffirmed the definition of waterbody buffers as all land lying within 75 feet of Durkee Brook Jewett Brook, Black Brook, Langley Brook, and Mellinger Brook as well as the unnamed brooks designated A through I on the Official Zoning Map.
Appalachian Trail marks 75th Anniversary today
HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. (AP) — Like the people who hike it, the Appalachian Trail is always moving. Technically, Tuesday marks the 75th anniversary of its completion. But the 2,180-mile path stretching across 14 states from Springer Mountain, Ga., to Katahdin, Maine, is never really finished. It took 15 years for hundreds of volunteers, state and federal partners, trail maintenance clubs and young workers with the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps to build the original path. In the decades since, nearly 99 percent has been relocated or rebuilt, and transferred from private to public ownership. That means the trail and some 250,000 contiguous acres are better-protected than ever from development and suburban sprawl. It will always be in the same general area, said Mark Wenger, executive director of the Appalachian SYRIA from page 2
Trail Conservancy in Harpers Ferry. But as access to waterways or scenic landscapes along the trail becomes available for purchase, it will continue to shift. “Will it move a little to the left, a little to the right?” he said. “Yes, depending on the physical attributes of the area. “One of the tenets of the trail is to provide that personal experience of sort of being one with nature. You can’t necessarily do that if you’re walking along a major highway,” Wenger said. “So it’s been relocated to give it some degree of privacy and that sense of the wonder of nature.” The relocations and reconstruction also make the path itself more sustainable. It was originally routed straight up and down many mountains, exacerbating erosion and making for a difficult hike. see next page
ming pool. A man working at the privately owned pool said only three people were there at the time and that none was injured. He didn’t give his name and tried to chase away journalists and residents seeking to film the pool. It is unclear why the area was targeted. Residents said there was no rebel base nearby. “In the summer, it’s hot so the guys gather here to swim,” said Abdullah Najjar, 21, adding that some of them could have been rebels. “This is the only place we have in town to come for entertainment.” Nationwide, the relentless bloodshed — including alleged massacres by pro-regime mobs and retaliation killings by rebels — has already claimed more than 20,000 lives, activists say, and will be further examined in a report expected Wednesday by the U.N. Human Rights Council’s independent commission probing abuses in Syria. In another crack in Assad’s diplomatic corps, a Syrian diplomat who worked with the U.N. rights council in Geneva said he left his post to join the opposition. A spokesman for the council, Rolando Gomez, identified the Syrian as Danny al-Baaj and described him as a junior member of his country’s U.N. mission. Syria is not a member of the 47-nation council, but alBaaj worked with it as part of his duties. The claims of bringing down the warplane and capturing the pilot, meanwhile, are likely to become a key propaganda tool to rally rebel fighters. Activists released a video which they say showed a government Soviet-made MiG warplane catching fire after it was hit by ground fire over Deir el-Zour province, an area near the Iraqi border where the opposition has strongholds. Hours later, another video shown on the pan-Arab network Al-Arabiya purported to show the captured pilot surrounded by armed rebels. “Introduce yourself,” says another speaker with his back to the camera. The alleged captive identified himself as Col. Rafik
Mohammed Suleiman and says he was on a mission to attack a rebel-held area. “What do you tell the officers of the Assad army?” the speaker asks the man, whose beard and hair are flecked with gray. The man who identified himself as the pilot urges them to defect. The speaker — whose face remained hidden — said the hostage will be treated according to tenets of Islam and the Geneva Convention. The later reference could be an indirect reply to recent international outrage over videos posted on the Internet claiming to show summary executions and torture by rebels, including bloodied prisoners being gunned down against a wall as people cried: “Free Syrian Army Forever!” Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said the pilot ejected from a warplane after a technical failure during a “training mission.” It added that a search was under way to find the pilot. The Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the plane was hit as it was conducting air raids on the town of Muhassan, which is close to a military airfield. The group quoted activists in the area as saying the plane was hit with fire from a heavy machine gun used by rebels in the area. Syria has such anti-aircraft weapons in its arsenal and it’s possible that some could have fallen into rebel hands. In June, Syria said it used anti-aircraft machine gun fire to bring down a Turkish F-4 Phantom fighter jet it claimed crossed into Syrian aircraft. Turkey said the plane was in international flight zones. Theodore Karasik, a regional security expert at the Dubai-based Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, said the rebel claim — if true — would suggest a stepped-up flow of outside military assistance. Older anti-aircraft weapons, possibly looted from Syrian arsenals such as variations on the Soviet-era SA-7, are considered overmatched by later model MiGs in the Syrian air force. “If this is true, the conjecture would be that covert aid to the rebels is expanding with higher-grade anti-aircraft capabilities,” Karasik said.
SHOOTING from page one to issue an emergency alert warning students and residents to stay away from the area. Most of the university’s 50,000 students were not on the campus about 90 miles northwest of Houston because the fall semester doesn’t start until Aug. 27, university spokeswoman Sherylon Carroll said. Diana Harbourt, 27, who lives about a block from where the shootings happened, said she heard five loud popping sounds from a back room of her home looking out her front door to see an officer park his vehicle on the street and crouch in front of another vehicle. “We heard him exchanging some words with the person and then shots being fired,” Harbourt said. “And then we heard more sirens and more officers and fire trucks came and they were keeping their distance, kind of slowly moving in. More officers showed up and told us to stay inside.” Officers, meanwhile, were dealing with losing someone McCollum called a respected colleague. “Brian Bachmann was very close to everyone in law enforcement,” McCollum said. “He was a pillar in this community, and it’s sad and tragic that we’ve
lost him today.” Bachmann worked more than 19 years in law enforcement, according to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education. He started out with the Hempstead Police Department before spending most of his career with the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office. He had been a constable since January 2011, after winning election to the post the prior November. In a February 2010 candidate profile in the BryanCollege Station Eagle, the married father of two said he wanted to bring “constables back to the community” by actively patrolling neighborhoods to discourage crime. Constables are law enforcement officers similar to sheriff’s deputies who are elected to serve in specific county precincts. They primarily serve warrants and official paperwork or act as courtroom bailiffs. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an A&M alumnus, said at an event in Florida that his “prayers are with any of those that have been injured.” A&M President R. Bowen Loftin issued a statement calling Monday a “sad day in the Bryan-College Station community.”

from preceding page Today’s trail features more scenic vistas than the original route, too, including Roan Mountain, Tenn.; the Mount Rogers High Country and Grayson Highlands in Virginia; the Pochuck Creek swamp in New Jersey and Thundering Falls in Vermont. The idea for the trail was born in a 1921 article in the Journal of the American Institute of Architects. Benton MacKaye proposed an idea that still resonates today — a path that would let people escape the demands and drudgery of daily life. As many as 3 million people a year now visit some part of the trail to reconnect with nature and slow down. Wenger calls it “a very complex trail” with a wide variety of terrain. Travelers can make their way through the dense forests and remote mountains in the South, to long, rocky ridges in the Mid-Atlantic, to rugged and rocky hiking with the possibility of wintry weather in New England. Although some sections meet the accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, there are also rugged sections that require skill and experience to navigate. About 2,000-3,000 people each summer attempt a “thru-hike,” or journey along the entire length. Only one in four will succeed. For them,
Harpers Ferry is the psychological halfway point, even though the actual location is nearby in southern Pennsylvania. Outside ATC headquarters in Harpers Ferry, Mississippi native Crystal Stroud, 26, opened boxes of supplies shipped by friends and family — nail clippers and dog food for her trail buddy, a 3-year-old Dachshund named Polly, and wipes, trail mix and a loaf of homemade lemon poppy seed bread for herself. Many rural post offices dot the landscape along the trail, so hikers often ship things to those post offices to pick up as they progress on their journeys. Stroud is hiking north after graduating from Mississippi State University and is craving adventure. “I did not want to get chained down to a job,” she said. “I feel like a bird out of a cage out here. I hike as far as I want to hike. I stop when I want to stop. I get to sleep in if I want to.” Stroud didn’t realize what she was getting into. She thought she’d camp and hike for a few weeks. At best, she figured, she’d be ready to quit after she saw Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains. But she kept walking. “I can’t explain it,” she said. “Life on the trail is amazing. I feel like a kid again, and I don’t ever want to leave.”
PANETTA from page 3 The U.S. long has been frustrated by Islamabad’s refusal to target Afghan Taliban militants and their allies using Pakistani territory to stage attacks against U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan. Many analysts believe Pakistan is reluctant to target groups with which it has strong historical ties and could be useful allies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw. Touching on another major U.S. frustration in Afghanistan, Panetta said he saw the accelerating pattern of attacks on American and other coalition troops by members of the Afghan army and police as a sign that the Taliban is grasping for success. But he also said he has been assured by U.S. military commanders that “this still remains sporadic” and not a long-term trend. “But, having said that, we are keeping a very close watch on the situation,” Panetta added. He argued that the Afghan insider attacks, in which numerous Afghan troops have turned their guns on
coalition forces, are in some cases a reflection of efforts by the Taliban to use unconventional tactics against a coalition force that it cannot defeat on the battlefield. “The Taliban has not been successful at regaining any of the areas that (it) lost” over the past two years, he said. “And so I think part of what you’re seeing is that they are going to resort to” a strategy of using unconventional attacks, including improvised explosive devices and the encouragement of insider attacks. “I think this is an indication that they are failing,” he added. Panetta said he was comforted by President Hamid Karzai’s decision to apologize for the most recent spate of insider attacks. Karzai condemned the killings, ordered investigations into the incidents and directed relevant Afghan authorities to work to ensure safety within training and security institutions. “The enemy who does not want to see Afghanistan have a strong security force, targets military trainers,” Karzai said in a statement Saturday.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 14, 2012— Page 17
RYAN from page 3 medical research and college aid. It aims to whittle the annual deficit to about $287 billion in 2022. That compares with a $704 billion deficit projected for Obama’s budget plan. (The House bill is a nonstarter in the Democratic-controlled Senate.) A majority of House Republicans actually voted for even deeper cuts. And a few Democrats joined in passing the Ryan plan, which over the next decade would spend $5.3 trillion less than Obama wants while cutting taxes by $2 trillion more. A numbers man, Ryan loathes budgetary uncertainty. So he wants to lock down how much the government can spend on entitlement programs such as Medicaid and food stamps. Critics complain that this would transfer the risks of rising prices or greater need to individual Americans. Ryan says the most important thing he can do to help people in need is to rescue the nation from fiscal disaster. OVERHAUL INCOME TAXES As much as he wants to shrink the deficit, Ryan wouldn’t do it by raising taxes. He wants to lower tax rates by compressing the current six brackets into two: 10 percent and 25 percent. The current top rate for the wealthiest is 35 percent. He also would reduce the corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 35 percent. Ryan says he would make up the lost tax revenue by eliminating unspecified tax breaks and loopholes. Ryan — like Romney and congressional Republicans — would extend Bush-era tax cuts for everyone. Obama wants to allow taxes on earnings over $200,000 per individual or $250,000 per couple to go back up next year, for a top rate of 39.6 percent. Ryan also seeks to eliminate the alternative minimum tax — a much-despised levy that members of both parties have talked about ending. Doing so is tough, however, because it would cost the government hundreds of billions of dollars over a decade. In the past, Ryan championed big tax changes that would mostly benefit the wealthy: eliminating taxes on dividends, interest and capital gains, as well as ending the estate tax. He dropped those ideas from more recent plans. REDO MEDICARE None of Ryan’s ideas has caused as much outcry as his plans to remake Medicare. Critics say he wants to undo the fundamental nature of the governmentrun insurance program — its open-ended commitment to getting seniors the benefits they need. Ryan says he would give retirees more freedom while saving Medicare from going broke. After his earlier plan to privatize Medicare provoked a firestorm, Ryan put forth a retooled version late last year, which resembles Romney’s idea of preserving a form of traditional Medicare alongside an option to choose from private insurance plans. Romney hasn’t addressed the specifics of his new running mate’s proposal. Future retirees would get fixed government payments that could either go toward buying private plans or joining a government-run program modeled on today’s Medicare. The insurers, including the government program, would make annual competitive bids that would be assessed to set the amount of the government payments. Older and sicker people would get larger payments; wealthier retirees would get smaller ones.

JACKSON from page 2 The statement Monday was the most detailed to date about the congressman’s mysterious medical leave, which began June 10. But it raised new questions about when the congressman can return to work. A Jackson aide said last week that the congressman was expected back in the district within a matter of weeks, but Jackson’s spokesmen declined to comment Monday. His father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, wouldn’t say much about the diagnosis. “I’m glad he’s getting the treatment he needs and is responding well,” the elder Jackson said, adding that “there’s no timetable” for his recovery. Experts and mental health advocates say many people are able to work and function in their daily lives while managing treatment. Treatment includes medication and psychotherapy, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. The institute estimates about 5.7 million American adults suffer from the disorder, which can be a lifelong disease.

This will be a good opportunity for Rotarians to interact with the residents and insure that they have a good time at this event.”

F-bomb makes it into mainstream dictionary NEW YORK (AP) — It’s about freakin’ time. The term “F-bomb” surfaced in newspapers more than 20 years ago but will land Tuesday for the first time in the mainstream Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, along with sexting, flexitarian, obesogenic, energy drink and life coach. In all, the company picks about 100 additions for the 114-year-old dictionary’s annual update, gathering evidence of usage over several years in everything from media to the labels of beer bottles and boxes of frozen food. So who’s responsible for lobbing F-bomb far and wide? Kory Stamper, an associate editor for Merriam-Webster, said she and her fellow word spies at the Massachusetts company traced it back to 1988, in a Newsday story that had the now-dead Mets catcher Gary Carter talking about how he had given them up, along with other profanities. But the word didn’t really take off until the late ‘90s, after Bobby Knight went heavy on the F-bombs during a locker room tirade. “We saw another huge spike after Dick Cheney dropped an F-bomb in the Senate in 2004,” and again in 2010 when Vice President Joe Biden did the same thing in the same place, Stamper said. “It’s a word that is very visually evocative. It’s not just the F-word. It’s F-bomb. You know that it’s going to cause a lot of consternation and possible damage,” she said. Many online dictionary and reference sites already list F-bomb and other entries Merriam-Webster is only now putting into print. A competitor, Oxford University Press, has F-bomb under consideration for a future update of its New Oxford American Dictionary but beat Merriam-Webster to print on a couple of other newcomers: mash-up, added to the Oxford book in 2005, and cloud computing, included in 2010. No worries, Stamper said. The dictionary biz isn’t a race. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate gets a cover-tocover overhaul every decade or so in addition to yearly upgrades. The Springfield, Mass.-based company also picks a defining word of each year closer to Thanksgiving. Among the company’s other additions this year, including online at Merriam-Webster.com, and various apps: The Oprah-inspired “aha moment,” the Stephen King-popularized earworm, as in that truly torturous tune you can’t get out of your head, and man cave, brain cramp and bucket list. King, in a 2009 column for Entertainment Weekly headlined “The Trouble With Earworms,” wrote of waking up in the middle of the night for a glass of water when he found himself singing a snippet of a lyric. “My friend the Longhair says that’s what you call songs that burrow into your head and commence chewing your brains. The dreaded earworm can turn even a great song into something you’d run from, screaming at the top of your lungs. If only you could,” he wrote. Stamper said the word, a translation of the German ohrwurm, surfaced in English in the late ‘80s as a way to describe untranslatable words. As a tune that won’t leave your head, “It just solidified itself in the national linguistic consciousness in America,” she said. Earworm isn’t actually a new word for MerriamWebster but the definition is to differentiate from the once-sole description of a specific blight on ears of corn. from preceding page also offers plenty of on-site parking. This transaction was made possible by Judy McShane of Coldwell Banker Residental Brokerage in Laconia, representive for the buyers and the Harvey’s and Steve Preston of Roche Realty Group, Inc. with office in Meredith and Laconia, who represented the sellers, Bowden and Bowden Realty Trust.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Domestic harmony depends on certain skills, including the ability to compromise and a tendency to minimize another person’s shortcomings and dwell instead on his or her offerings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve handled change before, and you’ll handle it again -- and this time even better. It may have taken you a while to get used to what once were the “new rules,” but now you’ll quickly assimilate some new “new rules.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Halfway up the mountain, you look at the summit and think you can’t possibly make it to the top. But remember that you’re already so much farther than the person who never makes the attempt at all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The song says to “pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.” This is easier sung than accomplished. Don’t turn up your nose at a helping hand from a very unexpected source. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your appetite has been whetted, but you’re still holding yourself in check. This time, don’t yield to temptation so much as simply meet it for an afternoon coffee in a public place. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 14). You’re interested in making a point and also in hearing what others have to say, habits that will lead you to money in September. The change in your community will give you a new sense of purpose and drive in October. November brings your chance to share promises and solidify relationships. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 34, 14, 28 and 11.
Ill., hom and
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Distance might make the heart grow fonder, but sometimes it also arouses baseless suspicions. Don’t let your imagination run away in regards to a faraway relationship. Keep the lines of communication open. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Friends and family have been down in the mouth lately, and now is the time to chase away a few clouds, spread a little cheer and remind them all how much they mean to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know how infuriating it is to make a call and spend a long time on hold? Be careful that you’re not doing the same thing with a very important relationship. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The instinct to protect yourself is a survival mechanism that generally serves you well. However, you may serve yourself best today in an unguarded moment, as that’s when someone will connect with you on a deeper level. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today sees you walking around like the cat who swallowed the canary. Everyone wants to know what your sly smile is all about, but keep that happy secret to yourself for a while. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel that you know all there is to know about a certain situation. Is it true? Put yourself to the test. Teach others. If there are holes in your knowledge, you’ll see where they are and patch them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You possess an ability that cannot be learned or taught. It’s something innate that one or both of your parents passed on to you. You will now appreciate the value of this gift.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am no longer speaking to my best friend of more than 20 years. I thought “Katie” and I were friends for life. She is even godmother to my daughter. Two years ago, we invited Katie and her husband to my 50th birthday party. My husband offered to let them stay with us so they wouldn’t need a hotel. They did not attend, stating that the 10-day RSVP time frame was not sufficient notice to travel the four-hour drive from their home to ours. Yet two weeks before, they made a six-hour drive to see other friends for a mini-vacation. I understood that they might not want to take another road trip, but I certainly expected a card or phone call. I received neither. After a month, Katie called just to chat. It was an uncomfortable conversation. Afterward, she wrote me a letter detailing her excuses for ignoring my birthday and said her card must have been lost in the mail. In January, we invited Katie and her husband to my daughter’s sweet 16 party. They declined, but sent her a magazine to read. In June, we sent them an invite to my daughter’s confirmation. Since Katie is her godmother, we thought she’d want to be there. She declined again via email, and there was no card. It is unfortunate that my daughter has become a victim of my strained relationship with Katie, who is now ignoring both of us. I keep hoping she will make some type of goodwill gesture, a card or a phone call, and all will be forgiven. For my daughter’s sake, I want her godmother to be connected. What would you suggest? -- Peeved and Perplexed in Pennsylvania Dear Perplexed: We don’t know if Katie wants to sever the friendship or if she is just overwhelmed with other things and has been inattentive. But she is your child’s godmother, and this implies religious responsibilities. Please call Katie and tell
her nicely that you understand it’s been difficult for her to stay in touch, and if she would like to be relieved of her obligations to your child, you will release her and name another godparent. Her response will give you a better idea of where you stand. Dear Annie: My sister, “Jackie,” has multiple children with multiple men. She has been using government assistance for the past 10 years. She tells her caseworker that she’s unemployed and lives with her kids, when she actually lives with her current boyfriend and has three different jobs that pay cash. Jackie was recently charged with fraud and was denied this month’s benefits and fined for the benefits she received over the past five months. Now she, her boyfriend and her children want to move in with my husband and me because they can’t afford their bills. My husband and I have been married less than a month. We need some time alone together. How do I tell Jackie no? -- Stuck Between Dear Stuck: In plain English. Jackie needs to learn how to be more responsible instead of scamming the system and taking advantage of her relatives. Moving in with you will only postpone this, and you will be writing us again in a year wondering how you got into this mess. Please set your boundaries now, and tell your sister that you love her, but you cannot support her. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Married to an Octopus,” whose husband can’t keep his hands off of her. Been there! I found out later that his doctor said my ex-husband not only was a sex addict, but also suffered from bipolar disease. “Married” needs to get her husband in for a thorough physical. -- Used To Be Married to an Octopus, Too.
