Beland leaving Gilford Fire for mutual aid post By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Fire Chief John Beland surprised the Board of Fire Engineers yesterday by announcing that he was retiring in order to become Deputy Chief to Jim Hayes, his predecessor in Gilford, who

was recently named chief of the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid Association.

Bill Akerley, chairman of the Board of Fire Engineers, said that Beland’s announcement came as a”complete surprise.

Stunned would be a better word,” he remarked. When

Beland was named to succeed Hayes in March 2010, he said that the board expected him to remain in the post for between three and five years.

“We realize this decision was in the best interest of John and his family,” Akerley said, suggesting that it was prompted

by changes in the New Hampshire Retirement System and the promotion of Hayes with the retirement of Doug Aiken, which opened the deputy’s position at Mutual Fire Aid. “We accepted John’s resignation with regret and wish him well in his next see BeLand page 9

CONCORD — Surrounded by his family and 200 or more teammates, friends and fans at the Concord Sports Center last evening, Jordan Cote, the standout pitcher from Winnisquam Regional High School, last night signed a contract with the New York Yankees baseball organization, crowning one brilliant career and beginning another.

Cote, ranked 85th among the top 100 prospects in the 2011 Major League draft, received a $725,000 signing bonus in choosing to become a professional rather than accept a scholarship to play at Coastal Carolina University.

Speaking briefly, he generously shared the credit for his success with his parents, father Scott, who coached him till he was 16, and mother Anne, Fred Caruso, his high school coach, see COTe page 8

Farmers say don’t give up on the sweet corn, it’s just getting really good

Bachmann wishes Elvis a happy birthday but Aug. 16 is day he died

S PA R T A N B U R G, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann got her Elvis Presley dates all shook up during a campaign stop Tuesday in South Carolina.

The congresswoman from Minnesota played the Elvis tune “Promised Land” at a local restaurant and told the crowd of 300 that she wanted to say happy birthday to the king of rock ‘n’ roll.

“Before we get started, let’s all say happy birthday to Elvis Presley today!” Bachmann said.

But Aug. 16 is the anniversary of Elvis’ death, in 1977, and someone in the crowd shouted back, “He died today!”

Bachmann didn’t respond and launched into her speech.

She didn’t miss a beat on the Elvis front either.

As she signed autographs, she paused for a brief shag dance with one of her fans.

Bachmann corrected herself later as she see ELVIS page 10

French and German leaders propose balanced budget requirement for all eurozone governments PARIS (AP) — The leaders of France and Germany called Tuesday for greater economic discipline and unity among European nations but declined to take immediate financial measures seen by many investors as the only way to halt the continent’s spiraling debt crisis.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell, the euro slid against the dollar and key European markets edged down in off-hour trading after Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the results of their

emergency talks in Paris.

Sarkozy called for a “new economic government” for Europe that would meet at least twice a year with European Union President Herman Van Rompuy as its head, but he offered few other details or indications that the body would have real power.

Merkel and Sarkozy also called for all euro zone nations to enact constitutional amendments requiring balanced budgets.

They said they want the process completed by the summer of 2012, but it would almost

certainly run into protracted political difficulties in many countries.

Both leaders said the moment was not right to replace 17 government bonds with a single one allowing weaker economies to borrow in cooperation with the powerhouse economies of France and Germany. A growing number of experts are calling for the eurobond as a way to prevent the unaffordable interest rates that have driven Greece, Ireland, and Portugal to seek bailouts from the eurozone countries and the Internasee EUROZONE page 6

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Four of the five largest U.S. tobacco companies sued the federal government Tuesday over new graphic cigarette labels that include the sewn-up corpse of a smoker and a picture of diseased lungs, saying the warnings violate their free speech rights and will cost millions of dollars to print.

The companies, led by R.J. Reynolds

Tobacco Co., Lorillard Tobacco Co., said the warnings no longer simply convey facts to allow people to make a decision whether to smoke. They instead force them to put government anti-smoking advocacy more prominently on their packs than their own brands, the companies say. They want a judge to stop the labels.

“Never before in the United States have

producers of a lawful product been required to use their own packaging and advertising to convey an emotionally-charged government message urging adult consumers to shun their products,” the companies wrote in the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. The FDA refused to comment, saying see TOBACCO page 9

Garcia then opening because of asbestos callsALBUQUERQUE, came in quick succession from a New Mexico returned to his wrecked van and took off but was mobile home park. later captured by police, authorities said. and unstable walls On one, a frantic 12-year-old says her little sister Hidden under a rock just 25 feet from the van was

WOLFEBORO (AP) — Classes at a Wolfeboro high school have been delayed two weeks after asbestos and unstable walls were discovered in the cafeteria.

District officials say classes at Kingswood High School will now start Sept. 19 rather than Sept. 6.

The missed days will be made up on Columbus Day and on two teacher in-service days near Thanksgiving. The other six days will be made up at the end of the school year in June.

Superintendent Jack Robertson tells the Concord Monitor crews were removing other asbestos in the building this summer when they discovered unexpected asbestos in the cafeteria ceiling. After removing the ceiling, workers found that several walls were not up to current standards.

The good news is that air conditioning is being installed as part of the renovations.

Drop in local government jobs means slight uptick in N.H.’s jobless rate

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s jobless rate inched up in July to 5.2 percent with 1,620 people joining the ranks of the unemployed, New Hampshire Employment Security said Tuesday.

The rate was an increase of 0.3 percent over the June rate, but still lower than the 5.9 percent jobless rate in July 2010.

The agency said 38,290 New Hampshire residents were unemployed last month and there were 9,300 fewer local government jobs. That was partially offset by 6,100 new private sector jobs, most of which were in the hospitality industry, said Republican House Speaker William O’Brien. New Hampshire is in a difficult transition as government cuts spending, he said.

“While it’s certainly disappointing to see that a number of New Hampshire residents have lost their jobs, there is good news in that our private sector is showing robust job growth,” he said in a news release.

House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt attributed the drop in government jobs to the “post-stimulus hangover” as the jobs end with the end of the federal aid.

“While we’re obviously concerned about the fact that more people are out of work, they should be able to find jobs in the private sector shortly,” he said.

But Pamela Walsh, Gov. John Lynch’s deputy chief of staff, did not attribute the job losses to the end of stimulus funding. July is when local budgets take effect which could have resulted in layoffs, she said. Education-related job losses also occur in July, she said.

Somersworth mayor forced to move away after fire destroys home SOMERSWORTH, N.H. (AP) — Somersworth’s mayor says he’s stepping down because a fire at his home is forcing him to move.

An emotional Lincoln Soldati told the city council meeting on Monday that he plans on resigning effective Sept. 1.

He says his resignation was due to the June 2010 fire that destroyed his family’s home and their inability to rebuild the house to its pre-fire condition.

He says he and his wife would be moving to Portsmouth, where one of his two law offices is located.

Foster’s Daily Democrat reports that Soldati was inaugurated in January 2010.

“We are outside of my mom’s house here,” Martha Diaz told the dispatcher. “We heard a man going, ‘Hey, hey let her go. Let her go.’ So we turn around ...

“The man came running to us and said, ‘They stole a little girl.’”

Phillip Garcia, 29, had snatched the girl moments earlier on Monday afternoon in Albuquerque, taking her away in a blue van, police said. Diaz’s husband, Antonio Diaz Chacon, gave chase in his car.

Garcia tried to lose him but ended up crashing into a telephone pole a few miles away, police said.

Garcia fled on foot, and Diaz Chacon grabbed the

packing tape and a tie-down strap, police said.

Inside the impounded van were tostadas, a glove, a Leatherman tool, a black satchel, orange strapping similar to the strap found hidden under the rock, police said.

“This little girl was very lucky,” police Sgt. Tricia Hoffman said. “We can only guess what would have happened to this child.”

“Throughout the county we see situations like this and they do not end typically well,” she said.

Diaz Chacon, she said, “did an amazing, amazing job and he saved this girl’s life” Garcia was charged with kidnapping, child abuse and tampering with evidence. Hoffman said Garcia see NEW MEXICO page 10

Bachmann win saved Obama from ‘worst week’ “Worst Week” screams the headline on the Drudge Report, right above President Obama’s picture.

Not so fast.

It is certainly true that Rasmussen Reports is showing the president’s approval rating hitting a new low of 40-percent. It is certainly true that incumbent presidents hoping to be re-elected need approval ratings closer to 50-percent, and that numbers below 40-percent are the kiss of death. It is certainly true that the president has his work cut out for him.

It is also true that Iowa Republicans handed the president his biggest win of the week when they handed the victory in the Iowa straw poll to Michele Bachmann.

I don’t know Bachmann. She might be a perfectly nice woman.

But she is never going to be president. Not only that, but the better she does the worse it is for the Republican Party.

It is no secret that the process of selecting presidential nominees — on both sides — is pretty much a complete mess, designed to give activists more say than their numbers would ever merit and to reward candidates for their ideological purity rather than their electability. You can spend weeks or months — in fact, I spend most of a semester — analyzing how it happens that parties that should be focused on winning spend so much time, energy and money on contests that are more likely to reward losers.

But there it is. More people watched Bachmann on television last weekend than vote in Iowa.

Seriously. Certainly more than would ever vote in a straw poll or even a caucus. That’s great if you’re an activist trying to make a point.

It’s nothing less than terrible if you’re a moderate (of either party) trying to win an election.

On the Democratic side, it took a string of losses in the 1980s for the party to decide that electability should count for more than ideology.

(Hello, Bill Clinton.)

The problem Republicans face — in addition to the fact that the ideologues have all the energy on their side, as well as the money, the volunteers and the rest — is that they haven’t lost enough. Two terms of Clinton followed by two terms of Bush. Obama looks too weak for them, so they think they can mess around with Bachmann.

Now the Republicans have a number of potentially attractive candidates such as Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman (at least if antiMormonism doesn’t kill them). But the better Bachmann does the more the others have to imitate her. A party dominated by Bachmann and Sarah Palin is not a party that will produce a winner in November.

Iowa in August, sure. Maybe even in January. But not when the great majority of Americans, who don’t think about elections 16 months away, finally get around to thinking about for whom they will vote.

I know many Democrats damn the tea party in words I wouldn’t use in a general interest publication. Not me. I say drink up. The president’s poll numbers may be low, but approval of the tea party is even lower. I would hope that by next November, Obama would actually win the election. But if that doesn’t work, second choice is that the Republicans lose it.

And that’s why it was a good week for Obama. He may not have come closer to victory, but the opposition party came closer to defeat. Given where the economy is and where it appears to be headed, perfect is the enemy of the good, and the good may be good enough.

(Susan Estrich is a professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California Law Center. A best-selling author, lawyer and politician, as well as a teacher, she first gained national prominence as national campaign manager for Dukakis for President in 1988.)

— Letters — God isn’t cheering for the USA but for people in every country To the editor, I completely agree with part of Tuesday’s letter by William McCoy that the U.S. should not put our trust in any president (or any politician for that matter). But for Mr. McCoy to say that “all Islam nations support death to Americans” and are all “evil people”? Really?

To bring “God” into the equation as being on our side and to say “Thank God he (Mr. Paine) was not buried on God-given soil” is ridiculous. Did God give us the North American continent? Was that a written directive

by God someplace? If he did he must have told the initial settlers to “kill all Native Americans so you British can

have it all”. The truth is more humans have died in the history of this world in the name of Christianity than anything else. The British and Roman empires conquered the globe based on their religions. It’s too bad most wars in history have been religiously motivated.

There are bad (and good) people out there of every color, race, and creed.

All you can do is your best to protect yourself and your family. And from my “non-atheist’s” point of view, you can trust in God if you want to, but God isn’t just cheering for the U.S.A, he is cheering for people in every country.

LETTERS We don’t need to pay some S.C. company $2 for a purple bag To the editor, The Laconia City Council is considering another tax on the citizens of Laconia under the guise of a user fee.

The Council is considering a forced recycling tax called Pay-As-YouThrow (PAYT) by a company called Zero Waste from South Carolina.

There will be a Public Meeting on September 14th at 6:30 p.m., “venue to be announced”.

The way this recyclable program works according to an article by Shira Schoenberg in the Concord Monitor on June 27, 2009, when the City of Concord was considering the same PAYT program: “. . . the city has a contract with the South Carolina company called Waste Zero. Waste Zero manufactures the bags and recruits stores to sell them. Consumers then pay $1 for a 15-gallon trash bag and $2 for a 30-gallon bag. The stores get none of that money. Instead, the stores must send all the money they collect from the bags to Waste Zero, which takes a cut and gives the rest of the money to the city. Mark Dancy, president of Waste Zero, said his company typically keeps 20 to 25 cents for each large bag.”

There is no accountability to a program like this. How can the taxpayers make a Right-to-Know request of one of the stores that sells the purple bags or a Right-to-Know request of Waste Zero to find out how many bags have been sold and what Waste Zero’s cut is? This program is unconstitutional according to the New Hampshire Constitution, which states in Article 8. “Accountability of Magistrates and Officers; Public’s Right to Know. All power residing originally in, and being derived from, the people, all magistrates and officers of government are their substitutes and agents, and at ALL TIMES ACCOUNTABLE, and RESPONSIVE. To that end, the PUBLIC’S RIGHT OF ACCESS TO GOVERNMENTAL PROCEEDINGS AND RECORDS SHALL not be unreasonably RESTRICTED.” This program has zero accountability. In order for this program to work Waste Zero has to have a monopoly on all sales of their purple bags.

In an article by John Koziol for the Laconia Citizen on May 11, 2011: “Liz Bedard , a consultant who helped set up the City of Concord’s program. . .

said starting PAYT programs is not easy but added that, once begun, the programs have withstood all attempts to rescind them.”

This statement is not true. The City of Sanford, Maine repealed the PAYT program, In a Letter to the Editor to Fosters on November 18, 2010 by Bill Thomas: “Voters spoke loud and clear during the election on Nov. 2, 2010 and threw out PAYT. Voters did not simply reject the program they did so with a show of force, with all seven of the town’s wards deciding to repeal PAYT in significant numbers.”

A letter by Steve MacDonald on the Live Free or Die web site on April 22, 2011 says: “The Merrimack Town Council bent to the will of the voters and scrapped the plans to institute a pay as you throw program. That would have required residents to buy special bags at $1.00 or $1.50 per bag”.

In The Merrimack Journal April 29, 2011 — “Council Opts to Toss ‘Pay As You Throw” by Jake Berry: “Merrimack, NH - A week after Merrimack voters rejected the town’s spending plan, official’s heeded the message, trashing a controversial waste disposal plan. The Merrimack Town Council, meeting last Wednesday to review the town’s spending plan, voted to do away with Pay As You Throw, the waste proposal that led many residents to vote against the budget in last week’s election.”

In an article by Michael Kitch for the Laconia Daily Sun on July 9, 2011, consultant Liz .Bedard states: “Those who use the transfer station, who are currently charged between $5 and $30 a ton . . . would pay $82.60 a ton. . .

She projects revenue from increased fees at the transfer station of $544,729 and proceeds from the sale of bags of $637,000.”

That would mean $637,000 divided by $1.50 a bag equals 424,666 purple bags sold by Waste Zero and their cut would be a cool $159,250.00 at 25 cents a bag. Or is the $637,000 what Laconia gets after Waste Zero decides what their cut is? A box of 20-30 gallon bags at Vista Foods is $2.49 versus 20-30 gallon bags from Waste Zero for $40 that’s a $37.51 profit for having purple colored bags.

LETTERS I’ll, too, will be happy if Liz Merry is able to elect just 1 Democrat To the editor, Recently a newspaper had a column on the 10 commandments of Republican candidates for president. I have developed the 10 commandments of the Democratic Party.

— Thou shall raise any and all taxes.

— Thou shall never allow the American people to vote on an abortion amendment.

— Thou shall never allow the American people to vote on a definition of marriage.

— Thou shall defend “Obamacare”, even if it is unconstitutional.

— Thou shall pass more regulations on real estate, banking and other financial operations.

— Thou will never agree to a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget.

— Thou shall vote to weaken the military.

— Thou shall support unlimited powers for the EPA. — Thou shall not drill, mine and frak but will continue to support other countries’ effort; e.g. Brazil.

— Thou shall blame everything on the Republicans, TEA Party and President Bush.

One comment on the new chair of the Belknap County Democrats, Ms. Liz Merry. She stated that “if she only got one Democrat elected, she would be happy”. I too will be happy if she only gets one Democrat elected.

Last, I have been called a “hostage taker”, “terrorist”, “racist”, “ignorant redneck” “village idiot” and other names simply because I disagree with the policies of President Obama and the Democratic Party. I am proud to have served in the military to preserve your freedom to call me these names.

I would be interested to know how ‘Nazi’ became an ethnicity?

To the editor, Lynn Rudmin Chong’s passionately written letters are to be lauded.

I admire the lady’s commitment to activism — despite how misguided, illinformed, and absurd her points often are. Recently, she alleged Charles and David Koch have “Nazi” genes. All indications are the Koch brothers are Jewish. This lends a delicious flavor to the conspiracy theories. I suggest a bit of Zionism, too!

It would be most interesting to know how “Nazi” has suddenly become an ethnicity, also. Does this mean my German ancestry bequeaths a genetic propensity to goose stepping, book burning, and ridiculous, little mustaches? This

is such a compliment to my “terrorist” Tea Party leanings! Let’s chalk it up to recessive DNA and blame it on my Southern roots, which also makes me a racist, NASCAR-loving “redneck.”

There must be a Confederate flag around here somewhere. . . I do wonder what my Romani (gypsy) blood must think of all this! That almost makes me a “tramp and a thief,” I think. Sieg Heil and “Yes, We Can,” baby!

As for politics and billionaires, can you say, “George Soros?” Oh, but he agrees with Ms. Rudmin Chong. Case dismissed.

Thanks again, Lynn, for a chuckle.

Tea Party folks can’t be both libertarians & authoritarians, can they?

To the editor, Professor Leo R. Sandy, famed prince of peace, today (August 9), jumped on the tea party hate speech bandwagon.

This should be an epiphany for all readers who, up until now just weren’t sure if this man of professorial splendor was a reasonable man or ideologically unhinged. Malicious rumors and defamation of character immediately come to mind. Unless this sage of slander follows up this calamitous column with some prescient facts to back up his barrel full of balderdash, then no one who reads this paper save for the Kool-Aid drinkers should ever afford him any credibility ever again. If this man has an ounce of integrity, then he will come forth with references and from preceding page Recycling on Monday Night”: “Since PAYT program requires an appropriation, it must be approved by Town Meeting, which has twice rejected it”.

I’m in favor of recycling, we have been recycling for over 10 years. We also have been composing with one of our neighbors for over 10 years.

But I don’t want to be Blackmailed

by Waste Zero’s purple bag scan. The people who will be hurt the most are the renters who pay in their rent for trash pick up through their landlord’s property taxes.

verifiable facts to back up his “deeper analysis”. Conservative writers of this paper do it routinely. This has been very upsetting to those on the left who have become apoplectic at the audacity of the right in calling them on their lies, loose associations, lazy reporting and baseless accusations.

Professor Sandy has become the poster child for this immature behavior. A few examples if you please. “ The Tea Party is influenced by slogans, fear and quick fixes”. This clueless academic apparently has been on vacation and hasn’t noticed the tea party demanding real change in fiscal policy while the left just wants to print more money, raise taxes and increase see next page

Questions for the Laconia City Council: Does Liz Bedard get paid by Waste Zero? How much did the City of Laconia pay Liz Bedard for her presentations? I want to see the propose contract between Waste Zero and the City of Laconia. Where are the purple bags made? China? With different priced purple bags in each city and town, how do you stop bootlegged bags?

The answer is to run the recycling truck every week and the recycling numbers will increase.

Credit Card Debt?

ADVERTORIAL

Solutions that can help you get out of debt.

Tom Hill CGA STAFF WRITER

Every three minutes another person falls behind on credit card debt. It’s no wonder, since every major credit card company has nearly doubled the minimum monthly payment on consumers’ bills. Federal Regulators forced the change because of their concern about the growing mountain of consumer debt, which stands at $2.17 trillion. Many consumers can only pay the minimum payment, which can take up to 30 years to pay off. Now, relief is in sight for millions of Americans.

U.S. CREDIT CARD DEBT PER HOUSEHOLD ($) $10,000 $9,000 $8,000 $7,000 $6,000 $5,000 $4,000 $3,000 $2,000 $1,000 85 87 89 91 93 95 97 99 01 03 05 07 09 (Data Source: U.S. Federal Reserve)

CreditGUARD of America, a non-profit licensed debt management service provider, is making a new program available to lower debt payments and become free of all credit card debt in only three to five years. Consumers need only $2,000 or more in total credit card debt and falling behind on any account, to cut their payment by 35% to 50%, and reduce or eliminate interest charges altogether.

Over 200,000 families, located throughout the U.S. have regained financial independence with CreditGUARD’s licensed, bonded and insured service.

EUROZONE from page 2 tional Monetary Fund.

New figures show slowing French and German growth, and the German government fears it would face higher borrowing costs and more risks if it had to borrow jointly with financially shaky nations.

“We have exactly the same position on euro bonds,” Sarkozy said. “One day we could imagine them, but at the end of a process of European integration, not at the beginning.”

The Dow fell as many as 190 points shortly after 1 p.m. in New York, a sign of clear market disappointment with the lack of immediate action.

Merkel and Sarkozy also said they did not want to increase the size of the EU’s 440 billion euro rescue fund, which may have to take over a massive, multibillion euro European Central Bank program to support the prices of Spanish and Italian bonds by buying them up on the open market.

The ECB spent 22 billion euros ($32 billion) in the first week of the program alone and says it wants to hand off that responsibility in coming months to the rescue fund, or European Financial Stability Facility.

Sarkozy described the EFSF’s current funding as “a considerable sum” and “sufficient.”

The two leaders also proposed a Europe-wide tax on financial transacfrom preceding page the national debt. It was the Republicans who offered real plans to bring us back to financial prosperity while the Democrats just waited for the chance to dismiss those plans while offering no real alternatives of their own.

“Surveys show tea party members tending toward authoritarianism, libertarianism and fear of change”.

So which is it my dear man of manic contradictions? Are the tea party folks enamored with maximum freedom and personal responsibility or submission to authority and opposition to individualism. You can’t have it both ways in the land of common sense and reality. And you keep bringing up the change thing again. Wasn’t it the United States of America that sought change and fought for change in a world heretofore ruled by totalitarianism and socialism? This country is the very personification of change while it is you, Professor Sandy, and your loony band of leftists, who want to go back to the same old tired, failed socialist regimes of days gone by. It is you sir who fear change, unable to fathom the reality that a capitalistic republic is the kind of change that has brought more prosperity to it’s citizens than any other country, ever. Please open your academic encrusted eyeballs and take a gander to the many failed socialist regimes crumbing in Europe.

Near bankruptcy has forced them to contemplate and implement austerity measures and dabble in capitalism.

Is it not failed socialist countries that are engaging in riots and violent demonstrations because they want the government to keep on sending them their monthly checks and continue to provide them with all their entitlement goodies? Which country is the only country that is engaged in peaceful demonstrations and measured civil disobedience while asking for less goodies from the government and more personal responsibility?

tions and pledged to harmonize their countries’ corporate taxes in a move aimed at showing the eurozone’s largest members are “marching in lockstep” to protect the euro.

Shares of financial markets operators, such as NYSE Euronext and the IntercontinentalExchange Inc., already under pressure as part of a broader sell-off of financial stocks, tumbled.

NYSE Euronext fell 10 percent, or $2.87, to $26.10, leading the S&P 500 Index in percentage losses. The IntercontinentalExchange was not far behind, falling 5.5 percent, or $6.33, to $110.10, the third biggest loser on the S&P. Investors may be concerned about how the euro bloc will put in place what its leaders have suggested and how a proposed tax on financial transactions may effect demand for European assets, said David Gilmore of Foreign Exchange Analytics in Essex, Connecticut.

“On the surface, it sounds very bold, a federal ‘eurozone,’” Gilmore said.

“The practical part still seems, to me anyway, to be a pipe dream.”

He said the plan to form a deeper fiscal union among the 17 countries using the euro “made the euro credible,” but governments might not want to surrender their rights to set tax and budget policies.

Yes professor, the good ole USA. The country that you and your left-leaning lemmings never miss an opportunity to trash. This is the kind of change that provides citizens with real hope and optimism. What was that you said professor? “They are a pessimistic group believing things will only get worse”. Well yes, if you leftists have your way and Marxism and Sharia law become the rule of the day.

“They also like to hold anti-immigrant views”. This is one of the most disingenuous talking points espoused by the left relentlessly, to the point where hard working folks start to believe this inane, insane nonsense. I and the rest of the tea party types love legal immigration. We think there should be active recruiting of immigrants with marketable skills and a desire to embrace our culture and become red blooded Americans. What we are against, oh doctor of dishonesty is “illegal immigration” that is bankrupting our states and corrupting our culture.

This despicable, detestable column is littered with misinformation, distortions and outright lies in my opinion. I have tried to clear up some of them. There is a boatload more, but I can’t deal with any more of this tasteless attack on an organization that is trying to save this country from financial Armageddon. Perhaps others will take the professor to task and point out the many more fallacies. Seriously professor, do you actually have anything to back up all the goofy statistics that you claim as factual? The gang on the left has marginalized the tea party, called it racist, called it terrorist and claimed it is analogous to anarchy. Now the professor, acting like Nostradamus, assures us it will become extinct. Well, that is probably what he is wishing and hoping for as nightly he slips into his REM sleep of smug condescension.

Board told of successful summer programs & replacement of 37-year-old yellow carpet

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — School board members were updated on summer programs and improvements made at the city’s schools during the course of the summer when they met last night at the SAU office on Harvard Street.

Assistant Superintendent of Schools Terri Fostern said that seven teachers and 40 students in grades 4-5-6 took part in the Renzulli online learning program which uses a personalized curriculum as an enrichment activity and that it produced good results with students meeting five days a week to work on projects of interest to them.

One of the teachers who took part in the program described it as an ideal resource for self-directed students who can research a subject in depth and several of the students who took part attended the meeting and discussed their projects, which included research on baseball heroes as well as a look at New York City, past, present and future.

Fostern said the district had hosted a two-day summer technology conference at the Laconia Middle School involving Lakes Region school districts which was attended by about 100 educators who shared their experiences and ideas with the use of technology to enhance learning in their districts.

She also said that a Ready for Kindergarten program that the district has partnered with the Family Resource Center to bring to the city holds great promise. The program involves classes for parents to help them develop the tools to promote learning skills for children five and under. Shannon Robinson-Beland, community support coordinator for the Family Resource Center will be updating board members on the program at their Sept. 6 meeting at Wood-

land Heights Elementary School.

Business Administrator Ed Emond provided an update on facilities upgrades, noting that all of the schools in the district are now set up for wireless Internet connections and that a good deal of work has been accomplished at Laconia High School, where the art room has a new floor, the 1974 yellow carpet has been removed, floors sanded and both the adult education and guidance department areas have had a makeover.

He said that other schools have had routine maintenance work done, including refinishing of floors and that the one problem area uncovered was the boiler at Woodland Heights, where repairs to the cast iron boiler were estimated to cost $7,500.

Emond said that when the boiler was taken apart it had five cracks instead of the one which it had been thought to have and that repairs are now estimated to cost $35,000.

Janet Brough, administrative assistant to the superintendent, reported that progress is being made in planning for a Laconia High School alumni reunion which will take place following the homecoming football game on September 30. The planned dance and social will see a walk down memory lane for alumni who will be introduced at the gathering.

The board honored Joyce Howard of First Student, the school district’s bus service provider.

Emond said that she had been recognized nationally by First Student and that in the course of her work as supervisor of company’s Belmont office, she designs routes and makes sure that every bus stop is safe.

“And she does that with a lot of commitment to the Laconia School District” said Emond.

“Convenient, affordable and reliable transportation for all your travel needs.”

New York Yankees scout Matt Hyde (standing) talks about former Winnisquam Regional High School baseball star Jordan Cote in Concord last night on the occasion of Cote (seated, next to Hyde) signing a contract to play for the Yankee’s organization. Also in the photo are Cote’s parents, Anne and Fred.

(Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)

see COTE page and Matt Blake, his pitching coach, as well as his fitness trainer, teammates and friends.

Cote was drafted in the third round, 118th overall, by the one team he would have chosen over all others, a fitting reward for the time and energy he has invested in talent for the past decade. Caruso described his work ethic as “off the charts” while Matt Hyde, the Yankee scout who corralled him, said “the edge this young man has is his roots,” adding that Cote honed his strength and skill in the cold winter and short seasons of New England.

Mingling with the crowd, posing for photographs and signing autographs, Cote said that he will be joining the Yankee minor league franchise in the Gulf Coast League in Tampa, where his roommate will be Joey Maher of Bedford High School, another of the eight high school and college players from New Hampshire selected in this year’s draft. He said that the season ends in September and two weeks later he begin the instructional league followed by a spell in the Dominican Republic.

Cote’s father sensed his son was “a real special kid” when, as a seven year old, he earned a starting role on an all-star team of boys a year or two older. Watching Cote as a freshman, Caruso told his son that his batting record at Winnisquam, a season average of. 545, would be broken and by season’s end Cote hit .547.

Despite averaging .442 during his career at Winnisquam, Cote’s hitting was overshadowed by his pitching. He won 31 games and lost just two over four seasons, threw three no-hitters — one a perfect game — including the victory over undefeated Somersworth to bring Winnisquam its first baseball state championship (2010), struck out 312 hitters, and yielded less than one earned run a game. As a senior, Cote won six games and, in the bitter cold of Berlin in April, lost one. He allowed

just 30 hits, yielding 10 walks, and seven earned runs while recording 93 strikeouts in nearly 55 innings. Seven of every ten pitches he threw during the season were strikes. And he hit .491 and drove in 26 runs.

Kyle Pratt, who played with Cote since the two were in Little League and this season was his catcher, said, “I called the pitches, but it was easy.

Just one finger — fastball, lots of fastballs.”

Caruso recalled that after Cote pitched Winnisquam to the state title the plate umpire turned to him and said “thank you for throwing him.”

This year he said whenever Cote took the mound there were between 10 and 25 radar guns trained on him, prompting one of the hurlers to quip “didn’t you tell them I won’t be pitching today.” Apart from the gaudy statistics, Caruso praised Cote for his “respect for the game, its officials and his opponents” and for being “the ultimate teammate.”

Blake, who pitched at Concord High School and Holy Cross College, said that at six-foot, six-inches and about 215 pounds, Cote has the ideal frame of a power pitcher. “He’s throwing 92 or 93 miles per hour now and he’ll be around 95 or 96 when he fills out to about 235 to 240 pounds,” he said. He explained that Cote will be given a player development program, replete with benchmarks to be reached during the seasons ahead, aimed at preparing him to take the mound in the big leagues when he is 23 or 24.

A lifelong Yankee fan, Cote gazed with awe at diamond encrusted World Series ring on Hyde’s right hand as the scout spoke of the day when he would wear the pinstripes and help the Yankees add to their record skein of world championships.

“Apart from the day I married my wife of 25 years and the birth of this young fella,” said his father, “this is the proudest moment of my life.” And everyone there shared his hopes that it will be surpassed.

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — “Laconia doesn’t have a dog in the fight,” City Manager Scott Myers said, speaking yesterday of charges leveled by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation that the New Hampshire Local Government Center (LGC) owes cities and towns more than $100-million.

But, Meredith Town Manager Phil Warren and Gilford Town Administrator Scott Dunn are among those keeping an eye on the dispute in anticipation that the outcome could affect their towns.

In response to a complaint lodged more than two years ago, the bureau conducted an investigation and earlier this month issued a 30-page report alleging that the LGC (formerly known as the N.H. Municipal Association), which provides services to 94-percent of the municipalities in the state, has played fast and loose with taxpayers’ dollars.

The bureau claims that the LGC has improperly administered its risk pools — the Health Insurance Trust, Inc., Property-Liability Insurance Trust, Inc. and Workers’ Compensation Program — and miscalculated its reserve funds at the expense of its member municipalities and their taxpayers.

When, in 2000, the LGC created the Workers Compensation Program, it capitalized the initiative by drawing one-percent from the other two risk pools. Calling the transfers “skimming,” the bureau charges that they violate state law (RSA 5-B:5), which requires pooled risk management programs to “Return all earnings and surplus in excess of any amounts required for administration, claims, reserves, and purchase of excess insurance to the participating political subdivisions. “ At the same time , the bureau charged that the LGC “manipulated” its required reserve, increasing it by “millions” rather than returning the surplus to municipalities as the law prescribes and “spent millions on items not authorized by statute,” including “charitable giving, salaries, benefits and other questionable spending.”

The LGC has countered that “the report is riddled with errors” and “many of the conclusions are based on faulty legal reasoning and erroneous factual assertions.”

Myers, who with Laconia School Superintendent TOBACCO from page 2 the agency does not discuss pending litigation. But when she announced the new labels in June, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called them frank and honest warnings about the dangers of smoking.

The FDA approved nine new warnings to rotate on cigarette packs. They will be printed on the entire top half, front and back, of the packaging. The new warnings also must constitute 20 percent of any cigarette advertising. They also all include a number for stop-smoking hotline One warning label is a picture of a corpse with its chest sewed up and the words: “Smoking can kill you.” Another label has a picture of a healthy pair of lungs beside a yellow and black pair with a warning that smoking causes fatal lung disease.

The lawsuit said the images were manipulated to be especially emotional. The tobacco companies said the corpse photo is actually an actor with a fake scar, while the healthy lungs were sanitized to make the diseased organ look worse.

Bob Champlin, sits on the board of directors of the LGC, said that since the city is not insured by the LGC, it is not directly affected. He suggested that the municipalities most likely to be concerned are those enrolled in Health Insurance Trust but not the Workers Compensation Program.

“What is good for workers compensation is good for health insurance,” he explained. “If you subscribe to both, you shouldn’t have a problem, but if you only had health insurance but not workers’ compensation, then you may think you’re owed money back.”

However, because Meredith participates in both the Health Insurance Trust and Workers’ Compensation Program, Warren said that he is following the issue closely.”The whole process isn’t clear,” he said.

Although he acknowledged that health insurance and workers’ compensation are somewhat complementary, Warren questioned the practice of using the first to capitalize the second. Municipalities, he explained, are rated according to risk. “If we are all paying the same rate, like a cooperative purchasing pool, it wouldn’t matter,” he said. “But, with risk-based rating, the benefits — the subsidies and discounts — are not distributed evenly among communities.”

After calculating how much to retain in reserve, the LGC refunds municipalities through rate reductions. “In November they give us a guaranteed maximum for our health insurance,” Warren said. “Later we get the actual rate, which is generally lower. But, they don’t explain and I don’t understand the process. It’s not transparent.”

Warren said that at this point he cannot begin to measure the potential fiscal impact on Meredith.

“Until we can see how this process plays out, we can’t take a position.” Meanwhile, he said that he was following the issue and collecting information with an eye to making a presentation to the Board of Selectmen next month.

“The jury is still out,” said Dunn, who added that “I have a lot of faith in the LGC.” He said that Gilford was enrolled in both the Health Insurance Trust and the Worker’s Compensation Program, but switched the latter to Primex last year. “We don’t yet have all the facts and I’m not overly concerned,” he said. “But, we are certainly watching the discussion evolve.”

The free speech lawsuit is a different action than a suit by several of the same companies over the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The law, which took affect two years ago, cleared the way for the more graphic warning labels, but also allowed the FDA to limit nicotine. The law also banned tobacco companies from sponsoring athletic or social events and prevented them from giving away free samples or branded merchandise.

A federal judge upheld many parts of the law, but the companies are appealing.

NEW MEXICO from page 3 is from Albuquerque and had a revoked license but she was unsure if he had a criminal record.

She said he immediately contacted a lawyer and gave no statement to authorities. Garcia was still jailed Tuesday and no lawyer had yet been listed as taking the case, according to court officials.

Hoffman said there have not been any other recent child abductions or attempted abductions in the city.

The girl told police she had gone to a neighbor’s to pick up some tostadas and was walking home when the van stopped and the man grabbed her.

“She went to go to the neighbor’s and on her way back we don’t know what happened to her. ... When she was coming back or on her way, she just like disappeared,” her sister said

in the 911 call.

The girl was grabbed with such force, police said, that bruising had already begun to appear on her chest and back Monday evening. The girl told police the man put his hand over her mouth and she bit him.

She said the man shoved her on the floorboard to keep her head under the window view, according to the police report. She told police there were no backseats in the van and described other details consistent with impounded van, police said.

She also described rolling in the van when it crashed, and breaking a fingernail. Police said they found what appeared to be a piece of fingernail in the van.

During her interview, police said the girl was concerned that she was unable to bring the tostadas home because she had left them in the van.

Recall effort against 2 of Wisconsin Democrats who fled state falls short MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Two Democratic Wisconsin state senators targeted by Republicans survived their elections Tuesday, ending a tumultuous summer of recalls spurred by anger over how lawmakers reacted to Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal curbing collective bargaining rights of public workers.

Democrats picked up two seats through the nine recalls but were unable to wrest majority Senate control away from the GOP, which now holds a narrow 17-16 majority. Before the recalls, Republicans had a 19-14 edge in the chamber.

The two senators facing recall Tuesday were among the 14 senators who fled the state in February in opposition to Walker’s proposal which passed despite their absence and has been held up by the state Supreme Court.

Democratic Sen. Bob Wirch of Pleasant Prairie defeated Kenosha attorney Jonathan Steitz, and Sen. Jim Holperin of Conover beat tea party Republican Kim Simac of Eagle River.

A third Democrat won a recall election last month. Two Republicans were defeated in six recall elections

ELVIS from page 2 spoke with reporters, noting the date marked Presley’s passing, not his birth.

“As far as we’re concerned, he’s still alive in our hearts,” Bachmann said.

Bachmann has stumbled over cultural references before. In June, she kicked off her presidential campaign in Waterloo, Iowa, calling it the home of American actor John Wayne. The town was actually home for a time to serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

last week.

Even though they remain in the minority, Democrats were savoring Tuesday’s victories.

Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said Democrats have “fundamentally changed the face of power in the Wisconsin Legislature” through the recalls. Even though Republicans remain in the majority, Tate said Democrats’ picking up two seats and making gains in Republican districts sets the table for big wins next year.

“It’s really hard to go five for nine and not be pleased of the progress that we made,” he said.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said in a statement that he was proud the GOP maintained its majority through the recalls. He said Tuesday’s results were a rejection of the recall process.

“The problems facing our state are too serious for these political games, and the Democrats’ permanent campaign cycle,” Fitzgerald said in the statement. “The Democrats need to start working with the other side of the aisle, not just moving on to their next recall target.”

Walker pledged last week to reach out to Democratic leaders to find proposals they could work on together, but his overtures were met with skepticism by the Democrats still stung by his pushing through of the collective bargaining bill without compromises.

Holperin, who won with 54 percent of the vote based on unofficial results, said the election showed that not everyone disapproved of Democrats leaving the state during the heated collective bargaining debate.

CORN from page one the staples of the seasons. There’s a huge demand for it. If you want to grow vegetables, it’s one you should grow if you can.” To try and meet that demand, farmers will grow several varieties of corn, including some that are bred to be planted and picked early.

“The earlier varieties, they tend to be a lot smaller, the earlier varieties tend not to be as flavorful,” McAdam said. Yet, in most years, the taste of the early corn, to palates that haven’t had fresh, local corn since the previous summer, is enough to satisfy the eater. But this year, the cold, wet spring weather combined with the traits of the early varieties to create a recipe for might be charitably described as boring corn.

Andy Howe, who along with his wife Martina operate Beans & Greens Farm in Gilford, has eaten his share of boring ears this summer. The best time to pick sweet corn is just before sunrise, at 6 or 7 a.m., when the corn has consolidated its sugar into the kernels but before the sun begins to warm the plant.

He starts each picking by eating an ear, husked and raw, in the field. Too many days this early summer, he’s had a breakfast of mediocre corn. Still, the consumers want it, so he and his workers pick it and fill the bins in the farm stand.

“This spring was a horrendous spring for the early corn,” said Howe. The early varieties were bred to thrive in cold conditions but they still need sunlight for photosynthesis – without sun, the plant can’t synthesize sugar. “That’s a big factor,” he said. “I look at my customers and say, we do everything we can, Mother Nature’s in charge, she’s the boss.”

Fortunately for Howe and local corn eaters, the early picking is now passed and farms throughout

“Studio 23” Residential Hair Salon

the region are into the cream of their crop – the sugar-enhanced, or even the super-sweet varieties that take longer to mature but have benefitted from the long, sunny days of summer. “Wonderfully sweet corn,” Howe said.

McAdam, who was raised on a dairy farm, is a traditionalist when preparing her sweet corn. She boils her corn, using a technique her parents used – husk the corn and place it in a pot of leukwarm water, bring it to boil and then turn off the burner, allowing the ears to bathe in the hot water for ten minutes.

Howe likes a bit more pomp and circumstance.

“It’s a tradition of summer, enhancing it is in the ambiance of how you cook it.” The first step is soaking the ears, husks and all, in water. “I like it in the husk, on a fire or on a grill, wait until the husk is nice and blackened.”

Whether consumers lean towards McAdam’s or Howe’s technique, they each agree that the best of the season’s corn comes at the end of August and into September.

“Don’t give up on one taste, that’s not fair to farmers,” said Howe, adding that – on his farm or others – the end produce is the result of many factors.

“Sooner or later it does all come together.”

McAdam said, “The varieties that come out now, those are the really good ones. I would definitely say to give it another try.”

Who has an extra $3200 to give to OPEC?

Man who climbed TV tower comes down after 6 days TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A man with a history of mental illness who scaled an Oklahoma TV tower and resisted attempts to coax him down for nearly a week voluntarily surrendered to authorities Tuesday night, police said.

The 25-year-old man was taken to a hospital to be treated for dehydration and was expected to be transferred to a mental health facility for observation, Tulsa police spokesman Leland Ashley said.

“He was very weak. We didn’t force him to come down,” Ashley said of the man, who climbed about 100 feet up the Clear Channel communications tower last Thursday.

During the six days he was on the tower, rescue crews offered him food and water, conditional on him agreeing to come down from his perch, but he rebuffed them.

A police negotiator in a lift attached to a ladder on a Fire Department truck talked to the man Tuesday and at times touched his hand in an effort to persuade him into the bucket, but he backed away each time.

Television video footage showed the man accepting a bottle of water from the negotiator at one point Tuesday. It was the first time he had taken water since Friday.

The six-day standoff, the longest in Tulsa’s history,

ended about 6:45 p.m., Ashley said. Television footage showed the man getting into the lift attached to the Fire Department truck.

Officers couldn’t force the man down and it was logistically impossible to place a net under the tower in case he fell because the structure is so massive, Ashley said.

The man was wearing only a pair of shorts as temperatures reached into the upper 90s Tuesday afternoon. There was room on the metal lattice for him to take naps and he continued to occasionally shout at people and officers below.

A Clear Channel spokeswoman said the company’s staff found the man in an unauthorized area Thursday morning, and that’s when he ran from security guards and scaled the tower.

Dozens of onlookers flocked to the site, and mental health experts urged caution and compassion from members of the public, who took the Internet to weigh in on the situation.

Ashley said he wasn’t sure if the man would face charges.

“The only charge criminally he could face would be trespassing, and for us, that’s only a citation or a ticket,” Ashley said. “But we’re under the belief that he’s probably suffering from mental health issues.”

Report of N.Y. maid’s medical exam riles Strauss-Kahn team

NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique StraussKahn fought back Tuesday after a media report said a medical examination listed “assault” and “rape” as the causes of injuries to a hotel housekeeper who accuses him of sexual assault.

The exam, conducted at a hospital shortly after maid Nafissatou Diallo’s encounter with StraussKahn at a luxurious Manhattan hotel in May, found part of her genitals was reddened and she reported shoulder pain, according to the French newspaper L’Express. The newspaper published an account of her hospital record online Tuesday, accompanying an interview with her lawyer.

In tears, Diallo told a doctor she’d been pushed to the floor and forced to perform oral sex by a guest at the Sofitel hotel, where she worked, according to the newspaper. Tests later found a ligament in her shoulder had been damaged, her lawyer has said.

“Cause of injuries: Assault. Rape,” the medical report reads, according to L’Express.

The account echoes allegations in the criminal case against Strauss-Kahn and in Diallo’s lawsuit against him.

Strauss-Kahn, a former French presidential candidate, denies the allegations, and his lawyers have said anything that happened between the two wasn’t forced. They said Tuesday that it’s “misleading and

deceitful” to portray the account of Diallo’s hospital exam as bolstering the charges against him.

“The hospital report is based almost exclusively on the word of the complaining witness, who has been proven, time and again, not to be credible,” and it doesn’t establish a forceful encounter, attorneys Benjamin Brafman and William W. Taylor said in a statement.

The doctor’s findings are “common conditions consistent with many possible causes other than a sexual assault,” they said.

Diallo’s lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, wasn’t in his office Tuesday but said by email that it’s “utter nonsense” to suggest that Strauss-Kahn’s encounter with his client was consensual.

“The truth will come out at trial, and we look forward to that trial,” Thompson said.

Strauss-Kahn, who’s 62 and married, was charged with attempted rape and other crimes after Diallo, 32, told authorities he’d attacked her May 14 after she arrived to clean his suite, thinking it was empty.

But the criminal case hit a roadblock last month after prosecutors said the maid had lied to them about her background and her actions right after the time she claimed she was attacked, raising doubts about her believability.

Red Sox settle for double-header split with Rays BOSTON (AP) — All things considered, the Boston Red Sox had to consider themselves fortunate to split Tuesday’s day-night double-header with the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Red Sox, playing both games without the injured David Ortiz and Marco Scutaro and resting a banged-up and sore Kevin Youkilis in the second game, collected only six hits on the day. With three hits in each game, they won the first 3-1 and fell 6-2 in the nightcap.

“We didn’t get a lot of hits today. Fortunately, we ended up getting a win in the first game, but they pitched us tough all day and the guy tomorrow will be real tough, too,” Boston manager Terry Francona said, looking ahead at facing David Price in Wednesday’s series finale.

Both James Shields and Jeff Niemann pitched three-hitters against the Red Sox, marking the fewest hits Boston has had in a double-header since collecting five in Baltimore way back on Sept. 2, 1974.

The split dropped the Red Sox a half-game behind the New York Yankees in the AL East. The Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 9-7 on Tuesday night.

Jacoby Ellsbury homered in both games, backing Jon Lester’s seven strong innings in the opener and then connecting for his career-best 22nd in a second game that saw the Red Sox turn a triple play but also help the Rays to five of their runs with fielding mishaps.

After the second game, Francona announced Ortiz will miss an undetermined amount of games because of bursitis in his right heel.

“He got an MRI and it showed the bursitis in his heel,” the manager said. “We’re going to get him out of his spikes for a couple of days, get him in a little bit of a walking boot, just to kind of alleviate some of the pressure.”

As far as how long Ortiz will be out, Francona said, “We’ll keep re-evaluating him, I’m sure, every

couple of days, but we want to get him off that for a little while.

“It’s not going to be a DL but we’re going to have to keep him out there for a little bit and we don’t know what that (length of time) is.”

The highlight of a second game in which Erik Bedard fell to 0-1 in his third start with Boston (4-8 overall) was an around-the-horn triple play started by third baseman Jed Lowrie in the fourth inning.

With runners on first and second, Sean Rodriguez grounded to Lowrie. Lowrie stepped on third, threw to second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who then relayed on to Adrian Gonzalez to complete the club’s first triple play since John Valentin turned one by himself against Seattle July 8, 1994.

“At the time of the game, it’s a big play in the game,” said Francona. “It’s first and second, nobody out, they’ve got a chance to extend (the lead) and all of a sudden the inning’s over. We get off the field and it really cuts into the pitch count, probably gets him an extra inning to pitch.

“It was fun to watch.”

Lester improved to 12-6 and Jonathan Papelbon posted his 23rd straight save in the day game, while Jason Varitek homered in the night game. Bedard yielded just one earned run in six innings in Game 2.

“Pretty good,” Francona said. “Again, spinning that breaking ball really well. We didn’t help a lot at times.

It’s not always just errors, it’s maybe the extra opportunities, things like that, but he’s continuing that progression of getting stronger, getting that pitch count up. He just fires strikes, with all his pitches.”

Notes: The triple play was Boston’s first since shortstop John Valentin turned one by himself on July 8, 1994. ... Bedard is winless in three starts with the Red Sox. ... Boston DH David Ortiz was a late scratch from the first-game lineup because of bursitis in his right heel and also sat out the second game.

from preceding page last month, said she’s telling the truth about being attacked by Strauss-Kahn.

Diallo also told prosecutors a false story of having been gang-raped in her native Guinea, an impoverished West African nation. She says now she was raped but not in the manner she described on an asylum application.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office says it’s still investigating and hasn’t decided whether to press ahead with the Strauss-Kahn case.

In the meantime, Diallo (whose name is pronounced na-fee-SAH’-too dee-AH’-loh) decided to

press her claims in another forum by suing StraussKahn last week. She’s seeking unspecified damages in the civil case.

The Associated Press does not generally name accusers in sexual assault cases unless they agree to be named or identify themselves publicly, as Diallo has done.

MEREDITH — June K. Corrigan, 83, of Lake St. died August 16, 2011, at her daughter’s home, in New Hampton.

Born in Nyack, NY on February 23, 1928, she was the daughter of Leland and Alice (Keenholts) Kyle.

June moved to White Plains, NY at an early age.

In 1936, her mother opened Camp Birchmere for girls on Gregg Lake, in Antrim. She spent her summers here, first as a camper, then as a counselor, until she graduated from college. That’s when she first grew to love New Hampshire.

June went to Northfield School, now Northfield Mt. Hermon, and graduated from Syracuse University, with a Bachelors degree in Geology. She worked for a short time in New York City at the Chrysler building for Texas Company. She also worked as a stewardess for Eastern Airlines, based in New York.

In 1953, she married Edward B. Corrigan when he returned from Korea and they moved to Parris Island, SC where both their children were born. In 1957, he resigned from the Marine Corps and they moved to Meredith, a happy move that they never regretted. It was then that she first grew interested in gardening, something that would stay with her for the rest of her life.

In 1975, June and a friend opened Patchwork Exchange, a consignment shop, first on Water St

and then they moved to Main St, Meredith, where it remained until 2004, when she retired.

June became active in the community, serving on the Conservation Commission, as a Library Trustee, and helping start the original “Friends of the Library”. She was a member and past president of the Meredith Garden Club, a member of Altrusa, a member of the Garden Committee at Kirkwood Gardens at the Science Center, in Holderness, and she was an occasional speaker at Cackleberries at their Wednesday night gatherings. The fact that both her daughters loved to gardening, which they shared together, made her very happy.

June was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Edward B. Corrigan, who died in 2009.

June is survived by her daughters, Christine Corrigan, and Karen Porrazzo and husband Lou, both of New Hampton, three grandchildren, Tristan Law of Portsmouth, Alice Law of Newburyport, MA, Sarah Porrazzo of New Hampton, many nieces and nephews.

A calling hour will be held at the Mayhew Funeral Home, routes #3 and #104, Meredith, on Saturday, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. A funeral service will be held in the funeral home at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The Rev. Sidney Lovett will officiate. Burial will be held at the convenience of the family.

GILFORD — Maine native, Nashville import and New England favorite Don Campbell, will bring his trio to Beans & Greens Sunday, August 21 at 6 p.m. for an evening of story and song.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of his first CD, Campbell is preparing to release his 10th studio album this fall, and will share new music as well as fan favorites from his catalog of work in the intimate and casual setting of “the Beanery” at Beans & Greens.

“I’ve had the distinct pleasure of performing in Gilford, opening for acts such as Willie Nelson, Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich and others, and it will be great to return to the area in a setting that allows for conversation and camaraderie through song

and this new music series, Nashville Nights ,” said Campbell, from his studio.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis rently enjoy about the person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll feel a new sense of freedom. It’s as though you can’t make a mistake because there are no mistakes -- there is just you finding out what will happen if you do it this way as opposed to that way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You don’t have to toil away at making a living today. Rather, you’ll have a blast and see what comes. Something is being given to you, and all you have to do is practice receiving it graciously.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will truly feel like you are a spirit living in a material world. For instance, you realize that the ultimate security can only be found within, and yet you still lock your doors and keep your wallet close.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Expectation is a powerfully magnetic force that you will wield well now. So anticipate a beneficial opportunity coming your way, and look forward to magnificent surprises.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You avoid confrontations with aggressive people. It’s not because you think you won’t win the argument, but because you know there will be no satisfaction or purpose in winning.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 17).

You will invent and reinvent. One of your past creations will be used in a new way in September, and you’ll make more money this time around. Friendships form over October business ventures. You will be the recipient of much amorous attention in November.

Loved ones blossom under your tutelage in the new year. Pisces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 11, 28, 17 and 42.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A dispute will be settled because you’ll take the time to understand not only what the other person wants, but why. Being understood feels so satisfying to the other person that he or she could stop fighting and accept what you offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you love security, if the odds look favorable, you’ll take a risk. You need time to build up your nerve. Encouraging people -- like Capricorn and Aries -- will speed your process along.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The promise of excitement is in the air, though this is no free ticket to ride.

This is the kind of thrill at which you’ll have to work. For now, the work has to do with reading, exploring and staying open to the possibilities.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The current state of things is merely a passing circumstance. Give the unsatisfactory bits very little attention -- it would be a waste of time to dwell on the situation. Today’s reality will not be tomorrow’s reality.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Reconsider the way your workspace is organized.

You’ve changed things around several times, but it’s still not quite optimum.

There is a noise or lighting issue to be addressed, and it may be time to call in the professionals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s as though the more you do to ensure a relationship is going well the worse it becomes. Relax. This is just a case of trying too hard. Don’t try at all, and you’ll love how things develop.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wanting someone to be different is the opposite of love. It is rejection of the person he or she is right now. Let go of desire for change, and focus on what you cur-

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Aug. 17, the 229th day of 2011. There are 136 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 17, 1807, Robert Fulton’s North River Steamboat began heading up the Hudson River on its successful round trip between New York and Albany.

On this date: In 1863, Federal batteries and ships began bombarding Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor during the Civil War, but the Confederates managed to hold on despite several days of pounding.

In 1915, a mob in Cobb County, Ga., lynched Jewish businessman Leo Frank, whose death sentence for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan had been commuted to life imprisonment.

In 1942, during World War II, U.S. 8th Air Force bombers attacked Rouen, France.

In 1943, the Allied conquest of Sicily was completed as U.S. and British forces entered Messina.

In 1960, the newly renamed Beatles (formerly the Silver Beetles) began their first gig in Hamburg, West Germany, at the Indra Club.

In 1969, Hurricane Camille slammed into the Mississippi coast as a Category 5 storm that was blamed for 256 U.S. deaths, three in Cuba.

In 1978, the first successful trans-Atlantic balloon flight ended as Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo and Larry Newman landed their Double Eagle II outside Paris.

In 1985, more than 1,400 meatpackers walked off the job at the Geo. A. Hormel and Co.’s main plant in Austin, Minn., in a bitter strike that lasted just over a year.

In 1987, Rudolf Hess, the last member of Adolf Hitler’s inner circle, died at Spandau Prison at age 93, an apparent suicide.

One year ago: A mistrial was declared on 23 corruption charges against ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was accused of trying to sell President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat; the jury convicted him on one charge, that of lying to the FBI. Blagojevich was convicted of 17 counts of corruption in a retrial.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Maureen O’Hara is 91. Actor Robert DeNiro is 68.

Movie director Martha Coolidge is 65. Rock musician Sib Hashian is 62. Actor Robert Joy is 60. Rock singer Kevin Rowland is 58.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: “Elaine” has been married to my brother for 45 years. She is critical, opinionated and condescending, and she loves to use her poison tongue to point out our faults to her husband and children. I do my best to remain cordial for my brother’s sake, but it is nearly impossible.

When they married, we welcomed Elaine with open arms, but she made it clear that we were never good enough. When I was a teenager, she tried to plant seeds of doubt in my mind, saying my parents didn’t love me. When Elaine went back to college later in life, she became worse. She analyzed everything we said or did at family gatherings, making all events stressful. When confronted about her attitude, she blamed others because, of course, she is never wrong.

I now realize Elaine lacks self-confidence and trashed our family in order to eliminate competition for the affection of her husband and children. She has no respect for others. After my parents died, Elaine told my daughter that her grandparents didn’t love her, and that their lives were one bitter feud that only Elaine was smart enough to notice. My confused daughter asked me about these comments, which fortunately gave me the opportunity to set the record straight.

I wish my brother would speak up, but he has been dominated too long. It won’t do any good to tell Elaine what I think of her. She can’t see that she has alienated everyone with her abrasive personality. But she is now spreading her vile, delusional untruths to the next generation. How do I nip that in the bud? -- Sick of the Shrew Dear Sick: We’re impressed that you’ve tolerated this woman for 45 years. If Elaine tells a lie in your presence, say sweetly, “Now, Elaine, dear, you know that isn’t true. You simply must stop making things up.” Unfortunately, you have little control over what she says to her children behind your back.

When you see the kids, be sure to emphasize the good things -- how much the family loves them, and how they should come to you if they ever have any questions.

Dear Annie: I am an elderly woman with fragile bones.

Often, when I meet someone new, they expect me to shake hands. In my day, the woman always extended her hand if she wanted to shake, but this custom has changed. I have experienced excruciating pain and, once, a broken bone that didn’t heal properly. How can I avoid shaking hands? -- Crushed in Florida Dear Florida: We have actually covered this topic before.

Here are some of our readers’ suggestions: bowing instead, wearing a wrist brace, or holding the person’s outstretched hand with both of yours and saying, “I’d love to shake your hand, but it’s too painful for me.”

Dear Annie: I read with interest the letter from “Worried in California,” whose 13-year-old twin sister has wild mood swings.

I am the mother of twin girls. At the same age, one of my girls developed the same attitude. Although we tried various doctors, counseling, etc., nothing changed. At the age of 47, she was diagnosed with Graves disease, which is a thyroid condition. It took a long time to diagnose even though there is a history of thyroid problems, including Graves disease, in my family.

Through all those years, my daughter’s moods were out of control. Now that she is receiving the proper care, she is a totally different and quite happy person. Would you please tell “Worried” to ask her parents to get her sister tested for a thyroid problem? Even if she tests only slightly above or below normal, the difference can be unbelievable. -- Canadian Mother

Maggie DeVoy takes gold in skating competition SANBORNTON — Maggie DeVoy of Sanbornton placed first in both her elements competition and her program to music at the Pilgrim Skating Club’s Firecracker Basic Skills competition in Pembroke, Mass., last month.

Her strong performance enabled her to pass US Figure Skating’s Basic 7 level.

“Her program was skated flawlessly with strength and grace as a result of her extra devotion to skating during the spring and summer this year,” said her proud coach, Nicole Cochrane of the Magic Blades Figure Skating Club.

The mission of Magic Blades is to keep the sport of figure skating affordable to as many local families as possible. Magic Blades has served the Lakes Region for over 15 years and has operated out of the Tilton School Ice Arena for the past four years.

Magic Blades will open again in September.

Google “magicblades.org” for more information or call Barbara Adams, skating director, at 7449872.
