Trio files suit against Gilford School Board over superintendent issue

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Three residents, led by conservative activist Doug Lambert, have filed suit in Belknap County Superior Court to compel the School Board to implement the plan for the administration of the School District endorsed by the voters and approved by the New Hampshire Department of Eduction (DOE) in 1998, which does not include the positions of either superintendent or assistant superintendent for business.

The suit follows months of controversy marked by the steadfast refusal of the School Board to heed the message delivered with a petitioned warrant article to the same effect, which carried

by a majority of 492 in favor to 287 against in March.

The board, in fact, hired a new superintendent of schools just a day before the vote was conducted.

The board has been advised by its attorney that under New Hampshire law it, not the voters, has the final word on operational matters such as how the administrative staff will be organized.

The petitioners — Lambert, Kevin Leandro and David R. Horvath — have asked the court not only to order the school board to comply with the original organization plan but also to notify Kent Heminway, the recently appointed superintendent, that his contract will not be renewed see GILFOrd page 23

BEDFORD (AP) — GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry told New Hampshire voters Wednesday that he does not believe in manmade global warming, calling it a scientific theory that has not been proven.

“I think we’re seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists that are coming forward and questioning the original idea that manmade global warming is what is causing the climate to change,” the Texas governor said on the first stop of a two-day trip to the first-in-the-nation primary state.

He said some want billions or trillions of taxpayer dollars spent to address the issue, but he added: “I don’t think from my perspective that I want to be engaged in spending that much money on still a scientific theory that has not been proven and from my perspective is more and more being put into question.”

ALPHA, Ill. (AP) — Confronting the most public anxiety yet of his Midwestern tour, President Barack Obama sought Wednesday to reassure an audience in his home state of Illinois that the economy would recover, but warned that Washington is not the answer to the nation’s economic troubles.

He conceded that it will take at least a year for housing prices and sales to start rising, a key marker of an improved economy.

Obama ended a three-day Midwest bus

tour with town hall-style meetings in Atkinson and Alpha, in western Illinois. In both places, he was peppered with questions — about regulations on farmers, housing, jobs and the effect of deficit reduction on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security — that underscored the anxiety people across the country are feeling in a time of economic uncertainty.

He faced the unease as a new Gallup poll found a 26 percent public approval rating of his handling of the economy, the lowest

finding of his presidency by the public opinion research organization.

In an interview with CBS News, Obama said the nation was not in danger of falling into another recession but was in jeopardy “of not having a recovery that’s fast enough to deal with what is a genuine unemployment crisis for a whole lot of folks out there, and that’s why we need to be doing more.”

White House officials said Wednesday that Obama intends to unveil a jobs packsee OBAMA page 9

WASHINGTON (AP) — Is there ever really a good time for the president to go on vacation? President Barack Obama’s summer getaway to Martha’s Vineyard has reignited a seemingly annual debate.

Given the demands of the job and the always-looming possibility of an unexpected crisis at home or abroad, the political perils of a presidential vacation never seem to go away. This summer, the vacation dilemma is compounded by the country’s urgent demand for jobs, the debt crisis that’s left Washington with a hangover and the public’s frustration

with political gridlock.

The president has promised that new jobs initiatives are coming. But the people won’t hear the details or any other solutions to the nation’s economic woes until he returns from his summer sojourn to Martha’s Vineyard, the wealthy island enclave off the Massachusetts coast where he and his family will vacation for the third straight year.

Obama is due to leave Washington Thursday for the 10-day trip.

The president isn’t the only one taking a break this summer. Most lawmakers left

town in early August, right after reaching a deal with the White House to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a potentially catastrophic government default. Congress isn’t expected back in session until early September.

With lawmakers away, there’s probably not much Obama could get done on the economic front even if he did cancel the trip. And even if Congress stayed in Washington, too, there are no quick fixes for the country’s deep economic problems.

CONCORD (AP) — More than two weeks after searchers pulled the body of 11-year-old Celina Cass from the Connecticut River near her house, the lack of an arrest and answers to questions about how she died have cast a pall over her New Hampshire hometown.

Sad and edgy, residents of Stewartstown are waiting — for answers about the girl, justice for her family, peace of mind for themselves. The police’s inability to charge

a suspect, an autopsy that couldn’t pinpoint what killed her and the lingering fear that a killer is at large are hanging over folks in the one-stoplight burg with 960 residents near the Canadian border.

“Everybody’s still uncomfortable, wanting some answers,” said Shannon Towle, whose family owns a convenience store and gas station where people gather. “It’s just creepy.”

Police say the investigation is active,

with the results of toxicology tests on the girl’s body pending. Experts say that may go a long way toward helping identify or charge a suspect.

Cass, a shy fourth-grader, vanished July 25 or July 26 from her home after being last seen at a computer in her bedroom.

For a week, a small army of investigators, law enforcement agents and volunteers searched. Friends handed out fliers see CELINA page 8

Franklin couple have long been bridge between food stores & those in need

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

FRANKLIN — Henry Burns is 85. His wife, Barbara, is 73.

Both have suffered some health setbacks lately but they’re not letting that interfere with the major passion they’ve shared for more than 20 years, helping feed the needy in the Twin Rivers area through the Community Outreach Bread Program.

Every Saturday afternoon from 1-3 they’re at the former Saint Jude’s Episcopal Church parish hall dispensing surplus food they’ve picked up earlier in the week from grocery and retail stores to as many as 100 people who show up.

There’s bread, rolls, cakes, pies, fruit and vegetables, sometimes meat and even some secondhand clothing being handed out to those who walk through the doors seeking help.

“We got involved with the program at Saint Jude’s when it first started. We used to take the food to Trinity Church in Tilton to start with but brought it back here” says Henry, who still walks with a slight limp from a fall he took in April in which he broke his hip.

Barbara, 73, who was the organist at Saint Jude’s for 46 years, until the church closed in 2002, says that she’s also been recently hospitalized for some medical problems and that their two-person food program had to close down for two weeks until Henry recovered enough to be able to drive his truck and make his weekly rounds.

“These are hard times and a lot more people are showing up than usual. So we couldn’t give up the food program,” she says.

Henry says that he makes his rounds of Hanaford’s in Franklin, Shaw’s in Tilton and the Country Kitchen bakery outlet on Rte. 106 in Belmont on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings and that with help from two other people they set up tables at the church on Saturday morning to display the food which

Henry and Barbara Burns of Franklin keep themselves busy by running a Community Outreach Bread Program in which food they collect from area stores is given out at the former Saint Jude’s Episcopal Church in Franklin every Saturday afternoon. (Roger Amsden/ for The Laconia Daily Sun)

will be picked up that afternoon.

He says that stopping by the stores each week is enjoyable. “I get to meet a lot of people and they all know me. That’s pretty rewarding just in itself.”

And he says that he’s grateful for the generosity of others. “Sometimes there are so many people who show up that we run out of food. I guess that shows how much it’s needed,” says Henry, who says that during the summer months many of their friends who are gardeners give them vegetables such as string beans and squash for their food operation.

He said that their bread program is separate from that run out of the same building by an ecumenical Twin Rivers group but that the two operations work closely together.

“When Saint Jude’s closed down we had to get a new non-profit number so that we could get food from the stores and were able to work that out thanks to the Congregational Church in Tilton who let us use theirs,” says Henry, who formerly worked for the city’s municipal services department and then with the state Department of Transportation before retiring. Barbara formerly worked for Beede Electric and later at another manufacturing plant in Franklin before it closed about eight years ago.

“We’re keeping the outreach bread program going. We thinks it’s important for those in need and we’ve been at it so long we just couldn’t give it up,’’ says Barbara.

“Sometimes we get cramped for time and space but we manage to make it. If we can both stay well, we do all right. I guess that what’s keep us young,” says Henry.

TURN UP THE HEAT ON SUMMER!

from preceding page Rich Galen, a Republican consultant, said of both Obama and Congress. “If anyone knew what the answer to this was, they’d do it.”

Then there’s the issue of perception. Obama will be vacationing at a rented, multimillion-dollar estate on an island known as a haven for the rich and famous at a time when millions of people are out of work and countless more are financially strapped.

Bill Clinton’s aides were so concerned about vacation perceptions that they polled the public before deciding where he should go.

While Clinton preferred trips to Martha’s Vineyard, polling pushed him to the more rugged Jackson Hole, Wyo. George W. Bush was criticized for spending nearly 500 days at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, during his two terms in office.

Pat Buchanan

Reaganism on steroids & Romney’s Iowa dilemma Last week’s Republican debate at Ames, Iowa, and the straw poll Saturday did more than sort out the Republican field for 2012. They have given the nation a good close look at a Republican Party that no longer resembles the Bush-McCain model.

Consider. Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul, who garnered nearly 60-percent of the votes cast, were both among the two dozen House members who voted against the final bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling. Neither blanched at shutting down the U.S. government.

At the debate, every Republican on stage raised his or her hand when asked whether he or she would reject a budget deal in which $10 in spending cuts were offered for every dollar in higher taxes.

This is a party whose feet are set in concrete. The United States government will be downsized and tax rates will rise only over its cold dead body. This is Reaganism on steroids.

Bachmann’s victory was stunning. Every other candidate had been in Iowa organizing before she ever got into the race seven weeks ago. Yet she emerged with nearly 5,000 votes, the largest total ever amassed in an Iowa straw poll, with the single exception of George W. Bush’s tsunami in 1999.

While virtually every candidate shares Bachmann’s social and economic conservatism, none matches her fire and passion. She both humiliated and eliminated Tim Pawlenty, a fellow Minnesotan who had been her governor when she was a state legislator. She is now not only the favorite in the Iowa caucuses but also one of three fronttier candidates for the nomination.

Ron Paul, however, who ran only 150 votes behind Bachmann and doubled the vote of Pawlenty, has not received the attention or credit his tremendous showing deserves.

Four years ago, Paul, a libertarian legend, was winning every telephone poll taken after a GOP debate but failing to win, place or show in the primaries. He seemed to be campaigning simply to make his case, realizing that he had no chance of being nominated. His views on foreign policy were regarded as aberrational by fellow candidates, such as Rudy Giuliani, when they were not being ignored.

In last week’s debate, Paul denounced U.S. intervention in wars that are none of America’s business, called for closing U.S. bases abroad and bringing our troops home, and squared off against former Sen. Rick Santorum on whether Iran represents a threat.

Santorum and Pawlenty supported confrontation with Iran. Yet both together did not come close to matching Paul’s vote tally.

The warfare state is now on the chopping block, thanks to the principled relentlessness of Ron Paul.

And the GOP may soon become a house divided, for the anti-interventionists — after Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya — are stronger than they were in 1999, when the GOP House opposed Clinton’s war on Serbia.

The entry into the race of Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, the only megastate that is reliably Republican in presidential elections, has produced another front-tier candidate and complicated the strategic plans of Mitt Romney.

Had Perry not gotten in, Romney might have held to his decision not to make a huge investment in Iowa, let Bachmann or Paul win the state, and then dispatch them in New Hampshire and go on to rout them in a 50-state battle, for which he is better-resourced than any other candidate. Today he faces a new situation.

With Perry going into Iowa, the caucuses, from Christmas on, will rivet the nation’s attention. If Romney is not there, he will be ignored for that month. And should Perry win Iowa, he would storm into New Hampshire and conceivably overwhelm Romney in his fortress state.

If he did, it would be all over for Mitt. For no GOP candidate ever has lost both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary and won the nomination. Should Bachmann prove to be a giant killer and defeat Perry in Iowa, she would be a formidable rival to Mitt in New Hampshire and a favorite to beat him in South Carolina.

There are two questions Mitt should be asking himself: “Can I afford to cede Iowa to a tea party-values candidate like Perry or Bachmann and wait for them in New Hampshire? Can I take five months of pounding for ‘writing off Iowa’ and refusing to get out of my backyard and do battle in Middle America?”

Yet the entry of Perry and straw poll are not all bad news for Mitt.

Pawlenty, who appealed to the same Republicans, is gone. And still in Iowa are Bachmann, Paul, Santorum and Perry, all of whom will be competing for the same social conservative-tea party base. Which leaves a huge opening for Mitt.

Does he head for Iowa, confront Bachmann and Perry, and win, in which case he is the nominee? Or does he wait for Bachmann or Perry to come into New Hampshire on the momentum of an Iowa victory and try to stop them there?

Upon Mitt’s decision may hang his five-year investment in winning the office his father failed to win.

LETTERS Traditional media protected socialism; now there are more voices To the editor, I can appreciate Ed Chase’s frustration in trying to explain to the local liberals why those of us that still have a job are tired of paying for all the “lay-abouts”. Perhaps I can give him some advice to help keep his head from exploding.

First and foremost, we’ll never get an answer from the likes of Ed Allard, Kate Miller or Obama as to exactly how the 45-percent of the adult population that pays NO TAXES are going to “pay their fair share” because it’s evident they aren’t going to. We’ll also never get their ilk to recognize that if we taxed the so called “rich” 100-percent, it still wouldn’t cover the perpetual debt for all the liberal programs they demand. They will never understand that it’s the rich who create jobs and they’ll never figure out that corporations don’t actually pay taxes; it’s the people that buy their products who pay the taxes.

They are also clueless that the military is the best choice for many of the young adults who wish to learn a real skill, unlike the public education system that fails so many of them.

The reason the public school system is such an expensive failure is because the liberal’s real motive isn’t about educating the “children” nor is it about helping the “single mothers” that Ms. Merwin pines on about. Their only mission is to assure their jobs, power and gold encrusted benefits.

Mr. Chase needs to recognize the reason Mr. Sandy and the rest of his “enlightened” friends are unhappy is because the media that has protected their socialism for so many years has now expanded to include those who are reporting the “rest of the story”, as Paul Harvey used to say. It drives them crazy that we can all now witness the collapse of the liberal state of socialism. Not just here in America but the UK and Europe too. Even after spending more than 10 trillion dollars toward the “war on poverty”, it has become completely obvious to even the dimmest of bulbs that it’s an unsustainable failure. To make matters worse they are hoping to send that retread tax and spend liberal, Carol Shea Porter, back to Wash-

ington to keep digging the hole she helped put us in.

While these poor liberals lose their grip on the media they once controlled, they are exposing themselves as the true selfish hateful people they really are. Most notably are the professors’ recent columns where he expresses his bigoted views of those who disagree with him and then he does what liberals do best; blame everyone else but themselves. Let’s not forget Mr. Allard’s casual use of calling Republicans “terrorist” for simply having an alternative point of view. Who acted more like terrorist Mr. Allard, the Republican’s who were simply working through the government process or the union thugs who descended upon our state capitals with their demands, threats and unruly mob behavior? It is they that have created the nanny state that has produced the needy class to the point where we can no longer tell who really needs services and who doesn’t. I have had the displeasure of sitting in budget meetings watching the elected liberals lapping up the lies of administrators who always drag out a “needy” person or make up some law that doesn’t exist in order to promote the wasteful spending on unnecessary programs and positions. Even the nonprofit groups boldly explained how they give money away to people who don’t quite qualify for it. In other words, if they don’t have people that need services, they went out of their way to create them.

I’m not surprised that 98-percent of Mr. Allard’s small world shares his version of the “American dream” being achieved on the backs of hard working Americans. Unfortunately for him, the jig is up! Every single person reading this letter knows people that have been unemployed for quite some time and have zero interest in finding a job because they are enjoying the “free” money. Each of us also knows about those “single” mothers that needs so much help with “free” day care that they have the father of the child (or some other guy) living with them secretly just to qualify. And those “starving” seniors” who must have “in home care”? Don’t even think of getting in their way when they’re headed see next page

LETTERS My only goal has been to do what is right and good for Laconia To the editor, There have been many times in the past when I have written letters regarding the importance of local government, and the need for every citizen to take part in their city elections. Certainly this past year of politics and the federal mess has shown us the consequences of giving away our rights to people who don’t understand or perhaps care what the people want or need. We certainly have the right to blame those in power for the present financial fiasco, unemployment, housing and banking problems, but WE must also share in that blame. We let this happen by our not caring enough to change things when we have had the chance. As long as things were good for us, it didn’t matter.

It did matter, and now we have to live with the effects of our permissiveness and apathy.

In Laconia we elect our city councilors and mayor without party designation. A truly nonpartisan election. You have the opportunity to elect people who have a more direct and personal effect on your lives. I urge you to get involved, read the papers, ask questions, call your councilors, whether in your ward or not, look at their record while in office and determine if they have lived up to what they promised you or if their actions were harmful to you or helpful. Council meetings are carried live on Channel 26 for every meeting, and repeated over the following two weeks. Attend council meetings and ask them publicly what you want to know or give them ideas on what you want. In the past few months the council has held several public hearings on matters pertaining to your pocket books as well as the presentation of the annual budget.

Sad to say, not one person attended

any of them.

We are now in our city election mode and I am again running for councilor of Ward 4. My record is clear and if not, ask me to clarify it. I was recently referred to by a local paper as one of the hardest working councilors but also a controversial one, in that many times I am the only dissenting voice. This is not a bad thing. It means, I don’t go along.

Right or wrong, I vote with my convictions and the support of a lot of people throughout the city who believe I do the right thing. But, that said, words are not the true test. Check it out. Make up your own minds.

I have served six years. My only goal has been to do what is right and good for the City of Laconia.

That said, it is not enough to list all the things that have been accomplished by this council over the past six years. That is a matter of record.

The question is WHAT can I do now with the council to help Laconia’s resurgence, bring downtown back, bring new development to our business parks, create new venues for our tourism industry, solve the health care cost problem, come to long term agreement with the unions, maintain our roads, bridges, and establish a program to protect our recreational waterways, and our drinking water.

These are some of the things I am involved with at the moment and you will hear more about them as this campaign moves on.

However, it is my first responsibility to maintain a fiscally sound city while maintaining city services, improving our infrastructure and increasing the tax base, without harming the people of Laconia.

Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4, Laconia

No one person gets to tell another what to think of a problem To the editor, Recently I wrote a letter to the Sun lamenting food that gets wasted and thrown out by grocery stores and wishing it could be used to aid famine victims in Africa.

Diana G. Field responded to my letter, thanking me for my concern but telling me we should take care of people at home first and the problem is being taken care of because someone named Henry picks up food and from preceding page for those slot machines or bingo halls throughout the country.

Even as I’m writing this I’m puzzled by an article I read authored by some liberal Democrats who are demanding the return of taxpayer money that was mismanaged by the Local Government Center — the same LGC that each year provides each community with an over bloated estimate on employee health insurance. This is a perennial favorite for the school administrators because they can tell everyone that if the actual costs are lower, they will return the money to the tax payer. A convenient fable they

distributes it at a local church. Diana wrote, “thank you for caring but the problem is being taken care of.”

Diana, it’s not your place to decide what another person should think of a problem or to “thank” them for their concern in a dismissive and condescending way, as if you somehow are in charge of the whole situation . Your snide attitude was not appreciated.

Hillarie Goldstein Franklin know in advance will never happen because there’s always a worthy cause to spend on the “children”. This would of course be an expense for a teacher salary or stipend for a departing union member that is pumping up their retirement. Now they have the nerve of actually accusing the LGC of creating lofty jobs and benefits for themselves with our tax dollars. If only the “enlightened community” was enlightened enough to see the irony of their accusation. I guess it only counts when they cry foul!

LETTERS ‘In God We Trust’ wasn’t added to our money until after Civil War To the editor, In his response to me, William “Liam” McKoy seemed to rely on the fact that we have “In God We Trust” on our currency as if it was a motto from our founding era. I would like to present some facts as to how and when this all began.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by a Christian socialist named Francis Bellamy and was adopted as our national pledge in 1942. It did not contain the phrase “under God” in it when written nor when adopted. The phrase was added by the right-wing Congress during the reactionary red scare years in June, 1954. The Constitution had left the room in the era of Joseph McCarthy and the cold war fear-mongering gave the right wingers many excuses to subvert the Constitution. If you didn’t agree, you were unpatriotic.

Our money did not have any religious mottos during the founding era. In fact, my favorite is the 1792 half dime that has the motto, “LIBERTY PARENT OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY”. That should be a comfort to the anti-science folks on the

right. The 1776 Continental Dollar had “MIND YOUR BUSINESS” for a motto. Another coin minted in 1783 had the motto “NOVA CONSTELLATIO”, which means New Constellation, containing an enlightenment meaning of a new order of things. The Fugio Cent of 1787 and afterward also had the motto “MIND YOUR BUSINESS”.

New York State issued the Excelsior coin in 1787. On the obverse in bold letters is EXCELSIOR, meaning “ever upwards”. On the reverse around the outside is written E PLURIBUS UNUM, Latin for One From Many.

Nowhere on our currency did any religious notion, except for a plethora of pagan goddesses like Minerva, Justitia and Libertas, appear during the founding era. That did not happen until right at the end of the Civil War when guilt and mourning swept the nation. From 1938 onward the motto appeared regularly but was not mandated by Congress until a month after the red scare congress put “under God” in our pledge.

Why do reporters continue to tie Pastor Bob to his guilty son?

To the editor, An open letter to reporters Michael Kitch & Gail Ober: I have a question that needs to be answered. Why do you continually degrade my pastor: Pastor Bob Farah?

The man’s son did wrong and is serving a 15 year prison term in federal prison. Pastor Bob has nothing to do with the actions of his son, Scott. In fact, he is one of the victims of FRM. Every time you mention pastor’s name in your paper, you put in the fact that Pastor Farah is Scott’s father, which discourages the public from contributing to a very worthy cause.

Pastor Bob is a loving, kind, friendly man. He is generous above the call of duty. I do not know a man who sacrifices himself for others more than he does. Because of this son’s actions he has lost everything that he owned: his lakefront house, his cottage, his apartment building, his car, and the list goes on.

Instead of saying, “He is the father of

Scott Farah, who headed up the Ponzi scheme”, why don’t you refer to him as, “The man who founded the Center Harbor Christian Church in 1985 and is still pastoring it”? Why don’t you tell the public that he is the founder and still administrator of the Center Harbor Food Pantry, which was established in 1987? This food pantry is the largest in the Lakes Region, providing food for approximately 300 families per month. How about the addicts that this man has helped cure? What about the homeless people that he has housed for the past 26 years? What about the suicides that he has prevented? What about the literally hundreds of marriages that he has saved? How about the cooperation that he has shown with the police and firefighters?

Please reconsider you articles that bash our pastor and write about the real Pastor Bob. He is the best, most considerate pastor I have ever met.

LETTERS It would take years to pick up the slack left by closing nuke plants To the editor, It’s Tuesday the 16th and today’s letters to the editor are a great group in my opinion. However I, as usual, have a couple of comments to make.

Lynn Chong is very concerned by the human created radiation on our planet, and I will not say radiation is anything to take lightly; however, I have read recently somewhere that just plain sun light is our greatest contributor of radiation, world-wide of course. Localized areas, such as the damaged plants in Japan and Chernobyl, are certainly of major concern but lets not go into panic mode. Not suggesting Lynn is in panic mode but some readers might get the idea that we are in dire danger which presently we are not. Now making a case for watchful and cautious oversight is appropriate but if calling for deactivation of the atomic industry then be sure, we must have some kind of replacement in hand before we can do that. Do we? NO! It would take years to build generating plants capable of picking up the slack no mater what their energy source. Our capability’s

are limited. Most of the “green solutions” are costly and inefficient and, more often then not, tied up with government red tape or blocked altogether. That leaves the carbon fuels which at present are the most practical from both an efficiency and engineering point of view. So if folks want to get rid of the nuke plants, pick your poison.

Changing subjects drastically has anyone read how Chanclor Merkel of Germany and President Sarkozy of France have jointly called for all countries using the Euros to make it mandatory to have BALANCED BUDGETS? This in order to protect the value of the Euro. Are you listening President Obama? Did any of liberals, progressives, socialists, leftists or others not specified, who think we need to spend more and print valueless paper pick up that news? Do you now comprehend the truth of our economic situation?

Remember, IT’S THE DEBT STUPID. Stop the spending!

Right/left paradigm runs from anarchy to absolute dictatorship To the editor, Liberal cliches, innuendo, Orwellian revisionism, and pure nonsense, all this and more in Mr. Cracraft’s letter of August 11. Pages would be required to refute it in full. Just one point: Mr. Cracraft states, as liberals do, that “fascism is a right-wing movement, not a left-wing movement”. Liberals do love to associate conservatives with Nazis and fascists but since facts might muddle the charge they never offer any.

The right/left paradigm is a scale from no government on the right to absolute dictatorship on the left. Fascism in its definitive years under Mussolini was nationalistic totalitarian socialism (not antisemitic) in which capital was privately owned but controlled by the state. It amassed power by appealing to an amoral business community that saw economic advan-

tage in collusion and partnering with government. Sound familiar? Bottom line: fascism is militant, nationalistic, totalitarian socialism and the antithesis of everything on the right. On the scale it properly belongs on the far left between Russian communism and democratic socialism. A comprehensive history on the subject is Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism”.

Can’t resist one more rebuttal. As a “right-wing nut” I may be guilty of referring to Obama as a socialist once or twice. Obama served in the Senate with Bernie Sanders, the only liberal in the Senate with the intellectual honesty to label himself a socialist.

Obama’s voting record was rated to the left of Sanders. To borrow from Cracraft’s use of the trite saying, “if it looks like a duck”, etc.

CELINA from page one containing the girl’s smiling face, clutching a basketball, or looking jaunty in a baseball cap.

The three-story apartment building where she lived with her mother, 13-year-old sister, stepfather and a 23-year-old man — an acquaintance of mother Louisa Noyes — was roped off with crime scene tape and two vehicles linked to it impounded.

On Aug. 1, Celina’s body was found.

Police, while saying her death was suspicious, still haven’t called it homicide.

Now, the mystery is what killed her.

“Unlike a gunshot wound or something like that, with drownings or victims found in water, it’s a process of elimination,” said Robin Adler, a professor of justice studies at Norwich University.

“When a body is found in water, a lot of things happen that could mimic something that could’ve happened outside of water, like bruising of the head. They have to start with, ‘Was she alive when she entered the water?’ And it’s not just the body that will tell them.”

Police have not said how long the body was in the river, where prolonged exposure to water can erase clues.

“Any subtle skin evidence is gone,” said Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, Connecticut’s chief medical examiner, who isn’t involved in the investigation. “The outer layer of the skin is where you interact with the rest of the world, where we

read the interactions. It’s gone.”

Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young, who is heading the investigation, won’t comment about that. She says that investigators with the New Hampshire State Police and the FBI are investigating and that the lull in developments shouldn’t be taken as a sign.

“This amount of time shouldn’t signal to anybody that we’ve reached the end of the road,” Young said. “That’s certainly not the way we view it.”

So Celina’s family waits.

Noyes, who hasn’t spoken publicly since her daughter disappeared, remains in seclusion. Jeanine Brady, her boss at a Colebrook consignment shop and a close friend, said Noyes and her family are patient.

“They’re willing to wait to have an arrest made that’s going to stick,” Brady said. “Celina deserves to have the right person arrested and to have finality that way. They want answers, of course, but it’s more important at this point that the FBI and state agencies can get the right answers.”

Noyes, who was allowed to return to her home last week, is having trouble coping and doesn’t want to live there, Brady said.

“That child’s perpetrator could be someone she knows,” Brady said.

Celina’s stepfather, Wendell Noyes, has a history of psychiatric issues and was declared unfit to stand trial in a 2003 case in which he allegedly broke see next page

from preceding page Perry’s home state of Texas releases more heat-trapping pollution carbon dioxide — the chief greenhouse gas — than any other state in the country, according to government data.

Global warming has become an issue for contenders for the Republican nomination to run away from, since many conservatives question overwhelming evidence showing climate change is happening and the big government solutions to stem it.

Jon Huntsman, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney — who all at one point supported steps to curb global warming pollution — have since tempered their stances. But unlike Perry, both Romney and Huntsman acknowledge the scientific evidence.

On Wednesday, Perry promised to return regularly to a state that was

not kind to a past Texas governor; Arizona Sen. John McCain upset GOP frontrunner and former Texas Gov. George W. Bush here in the 2000 presidential primary.

For many New Hampshire voters, Wednesday offered their first close look at the longtime Texas politician, who formally launched his White House bid over the weekend.

At the breakfast, Perry also questioned the loyalty of the Federal Reserve, just days after saying that if the Federal Reserve puts more money in the U.S. system, it could be considered a treasonous act that would be treated “pretty ugly” back home.

He noted the criticism he took for the comment, but did not back away from them. And he called on the institution to open its books.

Cotton Hill Rd. home latest target of bedtime burglary LACONIA — Following a brief lull, another home was burgled late Monday night or early Tuesday morning while the occupants slept.

Shortly before 7 a.m. on Tuesday residents of Cotton Hill Road in the southeast part of the city reported that the most recent burglary to police.

Captain Steve Clarke said that someone entered the home through an unlocked side door and took cash from a purse belonging to the homeowner, which was found discarded on the porch.

This was the 17th overnight break-in since a home on Mile Hill Road was burgled in late June. Clarke said that the police cannot determine whether all the burglaries are the work of the same person or

persons. One resident, who awoke to discover an intruder in her home, described a tall, thin man dressed in black, which is the only description provided to police.

Clarke said that the burglaries represented “a dangerous situation for both sides,” explaining that homeowners may be at risk of harm from an intruder, who in turn could be at risk from an armed resident.

Clarke repeated the advice police have been offering residents for weeks, urging people to lock all doors and lower level windows, light the inside and outside of their property and report any suspicious person or behavior in their neighborhood, especially after dark.

GILFORD — Two homes were burglarized and a vehicle was broken into overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The burglaries are thought to have similarities to the string of incidents in Laconia.

According to a police report, the two burglaries and the vehicle break-in were reported on August 17 and are suspected to have occurred during the night, with entrance gained through unlocked doors. The report states, “In both instances, purses were gone

through and money was taken. There are definite similarities to the burglaries in Laconia.”

Gilford and Laconia police are working with surrounding law enforcement agencies and are increasing night patrols in response to the rash of burglaries. Police remind residents to lock their dooes and windows and, if possible, leave outside lights on. Any suspicious persons or vehicles should be reported to Gilford Police at 527-4737.

OBAMA from page 2 age and a plan to reduce the deficit in a major speech after Labor Day. Capping the trip near a cornfield in Alpha, Obama fielded anxious questions about environmental regulations on farmers, the future of government health and welfare programs, and a potential increase in the estate taxes and the hardship that could create for family farmers.

At an earlier stop in Atkinson, he tried to reassure his audience that a brighter economy is ahead, but warned but said the federal government is not the

answer to what’s ailing the economy.

His comment about the housing market was in response to a grilling from a real estate company owner who said she had begun to see a turnaround in late spring but that her phones stopped ringing after last month’s “debt ceiling fiasco,” when a government default seemed possible.

“We have no consumer confidence after what has just happened,” she told the president. “I should be out working 14 hours a day and I am not.”

Obama agreed that the tense, last-minute negotiations over lifting the debt ceiling had sapped public confidence in the economy. “It was inexcusable,” he said.

Without getting specific, he said the administration was mulling ways to encourage banks to resume lending. Companies are more profitable than ever, he said, but are hoarding cash instead of investing it. He said banks that are in the financial clear also aren’t lending as freely as they had before.

He said growing the economy overall will trickle down to the housing sector, but that it will take time.

“I’ll be honest with you, when you’ve got many trillions of dollars’ worth of housing stock out there, the federal government is not going to be able to do this all by itself, government is not going to be able to do this all by itself,” Obama said. “It’s going to require consumers and banks and the private sector working alongside government to make sure that we can actually get the housing moving back again.”

from preceding page into an ex-girlfriend’s home and threatened her.

Police have not cited him as a potential suspect in Celina’s case.

Noyes, 47, has been in and out of hospitals several times since the girl’s disappearance and no longer lives in the house with the mother, Brady said.

“Until he is together, she just can’t be part of that right now,” she said.

The mother, who has received letters of condolence by the hundreds, recently printed up more than 500 photographs that were on Celina’s camera.

“She wishes everyone could see those pictures and know what kind of girl Celina was,” Brady said.

“They’re happy pictures. The girls are playing dressup and just being girls.”

www.RocheRealty.com (603) 528-0088 (603) 279-7046 GILMANTON RESIDENTS & PROPERTY OWNERS Gilmanton is in the process of issuing new decals for the recycling center. The new decals are orange, and will have an expiration date of December 31, 2013.

Please make sure you get your new decal as soon as possible, as you will need the new decal to continue to be allowed the use of the facility for trash disposal.

Beginning September 1, 2011, there will be a $3.00 (Three Dollar) fee for each decal that is issued to you. New decals must be acquired before January 1, 2012.

We will be issuing separate decals to property owners who have land only (no building on property). These decals will be a different color and shape from the regular decals, and will allow the owner to dispose of brush only. The fee for this decal is $3.00 (Three Dollars).

We will still issue “temporary” permits. These permits allow a non-property owner or non-resident to dispose of household trash while helping a resident clean up their property, or for a resident who has temporary plates until they can get permanent plates for their vehicle. There will be a $3.00 (Three Dollar) fee for these permits, and will be available only in the Town Clerk’s Office.

CONCORD — The Concord Regional Solid Waste/ Resource Recovery Cooperative (Co-op) moved a step closer to breaking ground on a single-stream recycling facility in Penacook this week when the Concord Solid Advisory Committee voted unanimously to recommend that the city council withdraw the conditions attached to its approval of the project.

In 2009, the Concord City Council endorsed the project in principle and agreed to ship recyclable materials collected in the city to the facility. However, the council conditioned its commitment on the co-op’s assurance that the facility would be guaranteed at least 25,000 tons of recyclable material a year for 15 years.

Jim Presher, director of the Co-op, said yesterday that commitments for approximately 24,400 tons have been secured from municipalities. He said that the project, originally conceived in 2007, has “languished for far too long” and the time had come to proceed or abandon it. He anticipated that once the project is underway other municipalities and commercial entities will commit to deliver recyclables to it.

The facility is designed to process between 30,000 and 50,000 tons of recyclable materials a year, but requires a minimum of 25,000 tons to operate econom-

Casey Anthony’s attorneys appeal probation order ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony’s attorneys filed an appeal Wednesday to stop her from having to return to Florida to begin serving a oneyear probation sentence.

Anthony was acquitted last month of a murder charge in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, and released soon afterward from jail.

The appeal, filed in Florida’s Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach, claims a probation order upheld last week in an unrelated case would constitute an “illegal sentence” if carried out.

Last week, a judge ordered Anthony to return to Orlando by the end of next week in order to report to a probation officer. She has been keeping a low profile at an undisclosed location.

Judge Belvin Perry said Anthony must comply with an order issued by another judge, Stan Strickland, in January 2010 after she pleaded guilty to stealing checks from a friend. At the time, Strickland said Anthony should serve the probation upon her release, but those instructions never made it into a written order. Corrections officials interpreted the sentence to mean Anthony could serve the probation while she was in jail awaiting her murder trial.

Strickland clarified in an order two weeks ago that

In an effort to make the process more convenient for our residents and property owners, the new decals are available through the Town Clerk’s Office. Photo ID (i.e. Driver’s license) and registrations are required on the new application.

Effective September 1, 2011, decals and additional other chargeable items (which you previously had to pay for at the Recycling Facility) will be available for purchase on line via ACH or credit card on the Recycling Facility Section of the Town website. When prepaying for a chargeable item online, you will need to print an additional receipt from your online transaction at that time to bring with you and present to the Recycling Facility attendant with the item(s) you wish to dispose of. Please see the website for a complete list of chargeable items which you may prepay for online.

ically. Concord represents an estimated 4,300 tons.

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

Meanwhile, Bob Allgaier, president of Pinard Waste Systems, Inc of Hooksett, recently informed Presher that his company intended to build a singlestream recycling facility in the southern tier of the state. Allgaier said that his firm had sufficient material under contract to operate a facility profitably without drawing on tonnage committed to the co-op.

Nevertheless, Presher acknowledged that Allgaier’s news “is a motivation for us. I won’t deny that.

The timing was interesting,” he continued. “But, it adds impetus.”

Three of the six members of Concord Solid Waste Advisory Committee who voted to lift the conditions, also serve on the city council, which will consider the issue when it meets on September 12.

Anthony must begin her probation now that she is out of jail. He then recused himself from the case and turned it over to Perry, who had presided over Anthony’s murder trial.

In the appeal, Anthony’s attorneys accused Strickland of bias, citing an appearance on Nancy Grace’s television show in which he said he was “shocked” by the murder trial verdict. Grace has been a vocal critic of Anthony.

The attorneys also argued Strickland couldn’t amend the order since the probation sentence had already been completed. The order also violates double jeopardy since Anthony would be serving the same sentence twice, they said.

“The defendant has actually served her entire sentence, as evidenced by her Department of Corrections records,” the order said.

In previous motions, Anthony’s attorneys have said she could be endangered if she returns to Orlando since she has received death threats. But those threats weren’t mentioned in the appeal.

In his order last week, Perry said allowing Anthony to serve probation while in jail “would take a lawfully imposed sentence and make it a mockery of justice.”

Red Sox manage just 3 hits off Price, lose to Rays 4-0 BOSTON (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays are far behind in the playoff race. Manager Joe Maddon still has high hopes, especially with his starting pitchers beginning to get on a roll.

David Price worked eight crisp innings and the Rays held the Boston Red Sox to three hits for the third straight game, winning 4-0 on Wednesday and gaining confidence about making a charge in the tough AL East.

The Yankees led the Red Sox by one game and the Rays by nine going into New York’s game at Kansas City on Wednesday night.

“The possibility of a really good run is there,” Maddon said. His pitchers “are feeding off one another right now. Everybody’s trying to do the topper thing and I’m good with that.”

The combined shutout by Price and Kyle Farnsworth followed a day-night doubleheader in which James Shields and Jeff Niemann each pitched a complete game. Boston beat Shields in the opener 3-1 before Niemann struck out 10 in a 6-2 victory in the nightcap.

Boston’s streak of three straight home games with

three hits or less is a franchise first, the team said, citing research by the Elias Sports Bureau. It’s the first time the Rays have pitched three consecutive three-hitters.

Had he been told before the series that the Rays would hold the Red Sox down like that, “I would have been very happy,” Price said with a laugh. “I’d hope the first guy gave up five and the next guy gave up four. The last one none.”

Boston is second in the majors with a .277 batting average but is hitting just .168 in 11 games against Tampa Bay. B.J. Upton and Evan Longoria homered as Tampa Bay won for the seventh time in nine games. Boston lost for the fifth time in its last seven.

“It’s been our whole thing not to give up,” Upton said. “There’s still a lot of baseball left to play. We play the Yankees and the Red Sox (14 more) times.”

Price entered with just two wins in his previous nine starts and losses in three of his previous four decisions.

Then he completed the trio of three-hitters.

“To pitch three games like that?” Maddon said.

“Come on. I never envisioned that.”

Boston had a few chances, but couldn’t come up with a big hit.

“We’ve been swinging the bats so well,” said Boston designated hitter David Ortiz, who missed all three games with bursitis in his right heel. “It’s frustrating. Everybody on this ballclub is a big part of what we have here. When anybody is out of the lineup, you can feel it.”

Dustin Pedroia singled with one out in the first and Adrian Gonzalez walked to put runners on first and second. But Price got Kevin Youkilis to ground into a double play.

Jacoby Ellsbury, who hit two homers on Tuesday, led off the sixth with a triple to deep right-center field. Pedroia struck out and Ellsbury was tagged out in a rundown when Gonzalez tapped back to Price. Gonzalez ended up at second before Youkilis grounded out.

“Ells hit the three-run homer” in Tuesday’s opener, Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “Other than that, we didn’t do much. Price was good, changing velocity, good breaking ball. A lot to like if you’re not in this uniform.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Only 1 in 5 malpractice claims against doctors leads to a settlement or other payout, according to the most comprehensive study of these claims in two decades.

But while doctors and their insurers may be winning most of these challenges, that’s still a lot of fighting. Each year about 1 in 14 doctors is the target of a claim, and most physicians and virtually every surgeon will face at least one in their careers, the study found.

Malpractice cases carry a significant emotional cost for doctors, said study co-author Amitabh Chandra, an economist and professor of public policy at

the Harvard Kennedy School of Government “They hate having their name dragged through the local newspaper and having to go to court,” he said.

The study might seem to support a common opinion among doctors that most malpractice lawsuits are baseless, but the authors said the truth is more complicated than that.

They noted influential earlier research in New York state concluding that just a tiny fraction of the patients harmed by medical mistakes actually file claims.

Trial lawyers say cost is a barrier to bringing a

claim to court. There are very high up-front costs for hiring expert witnesses and preparing a case. Doctors, hospitals and their insurers often have significant money and legal firepower. Some states also have caps on malpractice awards. So, usually, only very strong cases with high expected payouts are pursued.

Given the expense and other difficulties involved in winning, it’s doubtful most claims are filed on a greedy whim, the researchers said.

“A lawyer would have to be an idiot to take a frivolous case to court,” Chandra said. see next page

Taps sounded in Gilford for victims of helicopter tragedy in Afghanistan Carter Mountain Brass trumpet players John Beyrent, Ralph Bowie, Judy Paschal and Jessie Ripley, joined by flag bearer Vickie WoodParish, play taps in memory of the U.S. service men who lost their lives in the recent Chinook helicopter downing in Afghanistan. Musicians belonging to “Bugles Across America” were called on the play taps in their home towns to call attention to the tragedy and pay tribute to the fallen soldiers and sailors. The designated time for these tributes was 7 p.m. on August 11 and the band members took time, then, from their rehearsal at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford. (Courtesy photo)

Katy Perry ties MJ’s record for most #1 songs from 1 album

NEW YORK (AP) — When Katy Perry first came on the scene, some dismissed her as a one-hit wonder.

Three years later, she’s proven she’s a multi-hit wonder, becoming the first woman to score five No. 1 songs from one album on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Her “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” set the precedent: It’s the latest No. 1 from her platinum album

“Teenage Dream.” Only Michael Jackson had five No. 1s from one album before Perry, from “Bad.” But Jackson spent a total of seven weeks at the top with his “Bad” songs; Perry has been at the top perch now for a cumulative 18 weeks.

Perry’s first major hit was the song “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008.

from preceding page The study was published online Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine.

The study found: —About 7.5 percent of doctors have a claim filed against them each year. That finding is a little higher than a recent American Medical Association survey, in which 5 percent of doctors said they had dealt with a malpractice claim in the previous year.

—Fewer than 2 percent of doctors each year were the subject of a successful claim, in which the insurer

had to pay a settlement or court judgment.

—Some types of doctors were sued more than others. About 19 percent of neurosurgeons and heart surgeons were sued every year, making them the most targeted specialties. Pediatricians and psychiatrists were sued the least, with only about 3 percent of them facing a claim each year.

—When pediatricians did pay a claim, it was much more than other doctors. The average pediatric claim was more than $520,000, while the average was about $275,000.

OBITUARIES

Marjorie C. Center, 90

CONCORD — Marjorie C. Center, 90, a longtime resident of Laconia, died peacefully on Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at Havenwood-Heritage Heights in Concord, NH. Marjorie was born in Pittsfield, MA, one of two children of the late Pauline and Fred Cahall. She received a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Bates College in 1943.

In 1943 she married her college sweetheart, Gilbert S. Center of Colebrook, NH, and they celebrated 67 years of marriage until his death in February 2011.

Marjorie worked as a welfare worker for the Maine Department of Health and Welfare in 1943 before following Gil with US Navy east coast assignments during WWII. After his tour she lived in Huntington, MA before working at the University of New Hampshire library in Durham, NH in 1946-47 while her husband was earning a master’s degree. They then moved to Laconia where they resided for 61 years.

Marjorie worked nearly 42 years as a librarian at Gale Memorial Library until her retirement in 1989.

For years she took collections of carefully selected books to residents of these homes. She also was very involved with children’s reading programs during

the Bicentennial celebration in the mid-1970’s.

Her hobbies included reading, sewing, crewelwork, and traveling with her husband.

Marjorie especially loved music and playing the piano. She served as Choir Director of the South Baptist Church in Laconia for 35 years from 1960 – 1995 and had particular interest with American Baptist Churches home and world mission support.

Marjorie is survived by her son, Robert Center and his wife Kay of Waitsfield, VT and children, Carrie Henry of Underhill, Vermont and Dana Henry of Winona, MN; her daughter, Jodi Center of Lynchburg, VA; her brother, Robert Cahall and his wife Betty of Santa Ana, CA, nieces, Claudia Keeley of Windsor, CT, Deborah Adams of Schenectady, NY and Holly Davidson of Scotia, NY and cousin, Gail Ginthwain of Dalton, MA.

Plymouth chamber hands-on web marketing workshop August 23

PLYMOUTH — The last in a series of three “How-To, Hands-On” Web Marketing workshops, will be presented on August 23 to help local businesses learn low-cost and/or free online marketing initiatives.

The Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce, Northern Community Investment Corporation (NCIC), Plymouth State University’s Frost School of Continuing and Professional Studies, and Notchnet, Inc. have partnered to present the workshops at Hyde Hall’s computer lab on the campus of Plymouth State University.

Veronica Francis, president of Notchnet, Inc. in Littleton, is a 15-year veteran of web marketing who will share her insights, wisdom, and marketing savvy to help local businesses create low-cost and/or free online marketing initiatives in a small classroom style with step-by-step instruction.

The goal of the workshop is for business owners to walk away with a ready-to-use marketing tool.

In this last workshop, Francis will work with each participant to create a one-of-a-kind informational blog using free blogging software. Participants should be prepared to arrive with text, graphics, pictures, and any important information they’d like to include in their blog.

This workshop will be held in the computer lab at Hyde Hall on the campus of PSU starting at 5 p.m. A link to register and pay the $25 workshop fee, is available on the Cham-

ber’s website. Space is limited to only six participants due to the one-on-one attention needed to create a blog.

Reserve a spot today by logging onto www.plymouthnh.org .

The professional skills training conducted by the Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce is part of its active support of regional businesses and is possible through the support of Plymouth State University, Northern Community Investment Corporation (NCIC), Notchnet, Inc. and was made possible in part with funding from a Rural Business Enterprise Grant from USDA Rural Development.

Supporting small businesses is an ongoing mission for the Northern Community Investment Corp., a private, non-profit organization that helps to spearhead economic development in Coos, Grafton and Carroll counties in New Hampshire and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont from its offices in St. Johnsbury, Vt., and in Plymouth and Lancaster. For more information about NCIC, go to www.NCIC.org.

The Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce serves the business community by promoting the greater Plymouth area as a unique place to live, work, and play, and by recognizing its business, social, and economic opportunities. For more information about the “How-To, Hands-On” Web Marketing Workshop series or the Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce, contact the Chamber office at 536-1001, or e-mail info@plymouthnh.org.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis job is to simply hack away.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Knowing when to stop is a kind of art.

Your restraint is matched only by your powers of observation. You wisely sense that going past the point of diminishing returns is a waste of time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll experience some fun piece of luck that was set up by you at an early date and then forgotten about. This is akin to finding money in the bottom of your purse or sock drawer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference in someone else’s life. This happens whether or not the person in question thinks to thank you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

In just a few minutes, you can easily accomplish the thing that takes others hours to do. This could make you secretly smile. It could also inspire you to start teaching others what you know.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have the satisfaction of an accomplishment like getting to the gym, sending out a thank-you note or finishing a long novel. This is as good a reason as any to celebrate yourself.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18).

You’ll dig deeper to make your dreams real. Through the next 10 weeks, you’ll broadcast what you’re about and what you want. In February, a fantastic opportunity is handed to you precisely because you got the word out. Small, intelligent moves will set big projects in motion in October. December is romantic. Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 41, 24 and 19.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are an artist, even when you don’t mean to be. You’ll take your way of looking at the world and bring it to others on the planet in a way you hope they can understand -- that’s what artists do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t expect yourself to produce without inspiration, motivation or reward.

Find more that falls into those three categories, and your enthusiasm and energy will return.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something small and personal will lead you to accomplish great things. In time, the small personal matter will seem so inconsequential to you, if you remember it at all. But the significant productivity that came of it will remain.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone has an opinion about what things are supposed to be like. You will make yourself open to other people’s ideas, but not so open as to discount your own point of view.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You would love to deny the raw, painful emotions, and yet those are the most valuable gifts of the day. The potential to heal and grow is buried in those feelings for the brave one who wants to dive in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you choose to dream, you’ll notice that your powers of visualization are enhanced.

There’s something that you imagine will be hard for you to do, but you can and will do it. See yourself having an easy time of it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As any lumberjack worth his salt knows well, the first blow does not fell the tree.

You’ll build something important in the next few weeks, and it will all come together in good time. For now, your

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 18, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Aug. 18, the 230th day of 2011. There are 135 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of all American women to vote, was ratified as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it.

On this date: In 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child of English parents to be born on American soil, on what is now Roanoke Island in North Carolina.

In 1838, the first marine expedition sponsored by the U.S. government set sail from Hampton Roads, Va.; the crews traveled the southern Pacific Ocean, gathering scientific information.

In 1846, U.S. forces led by General Stephen W. Kearny captured Santa Fe, N.M. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and Canada.

In 1958, the novel “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov was first published in New York

by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, almost three years after it was originally published in Paris.

In 1961, federal appeals court Judge Learned Hand, 89, died in New York.

In 1963, James Meredith became the first black student to graduate from the University of Mississippi.

In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, N.Y., wound to a close after three nights with a mid-morning set by Jimi Hendrix.

In 1981, author and screenwriter Anita Loos (“Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”) died in New York at age 93.

In 1983, Hurricane Alicia slammed into the Texas coast, leaving 21 dead and causing more than a billion dollars’ worth of damage.

One year ago: General Motors filed the first batch of paperwork to sell stock to the public again, a significant step to shed U.S. government ownership a year after the automaker had filed for bankruptcy.

Today’s Birthdays: Former first lady Rosalynn Carter is 84. Academy Award-winning director Roman Polanski is 78. Olympic gold medal decathlete Rafer Johnson is 76.

Actor-director Robert Redford is 75. Actor Christopher Jones is 70. Actor Henry G. Sanders is 69. Actor-comedian Martin Mull is 68. Actor Denis Leary is 54. Actress Madeleine Stowe is 53.

A big bounce, ounce by ounce, for gold NEW YORK (AP) — For what is normally a sleepy month, there are so many customers at the Gold Standard, a New York company that buys jewelry, that it feels like Christmas in August.

Uncle Ben’s Pawn Shop in Cleveland has never seen a rush like this.

Welcome to the new American gold rush. The price of gold is on a remarkable run, setting a record seemingly every other day. Stomach-churning volatility in the stock market this month has only made investors covet gold more.

Some want it as a safe investment for turbulent times. What worries some investors is that many others are buying simply because the price is rising and they want to make money fast.

“Is gold the next bubble?” asks Bill DiRocco, a golf company manager in Overland Park, Kan., who shifted 10 percent of his portfolio earlier this year into an investment fund that tracks the price of gold. He stopped buying because the price kept rising.

In October 2007, it sold for about $740 an ounce. A little over a year later, it rose above $1,000 for the first time. This past March, it began rocketing up. On Wednesday, it traded above $1,793 an ounce, just shy of last week’s record of $1,801.

Meanwhile, stocks, despite rising sharply in the last two and a half years, are only slightly higher in price than they were a decade ago. Since hitting a record high in October 2007, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index is down 23 percent.

RACES from page one

Gold hits a sweet spot among the elements: It’s rare, but not too rare.

It’s chemically stable; all the gold ever mined is still around. And it can be divided into small amounts without losing its properties.

Ultimately, though, gold is valuable because we all agree it is. It was used around the world as a currency for thousands of years, and then it gave value to paper currencies for a couple of hundred more.

Now, in a time of turmoil, from the credit downgrade and debate over raising the debt limit in the U.S. to the growing financial crisis in Europe to worries of slow growth across the globe, gold is dazzling investors.

Since the financial crisis in 2008, central banks around the world have bought gold as a hedge against their foreign currency holdings. Earlier this month, South Korea announced it had bought gold for the first time in more than 10 years.

Gold is “an effective hedge in a world where there is too much debt and uncertainty,” says Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust, which owns $2.8 billion of gold in a gold fund.

The last time gold prices rose so precipitously was a few years after President Richard Nixon ended a decades-long fixed relationship between the value of the dollar and the value of gold.

In those days, the price of gold was fixed at about $35 an ounce. And see GOLD page 23

resigned his seat when he moved to New Hampton. However, the council unanimously chose Doyle to fill the vacancy. Doyle filed for re-election last week.

Interviewed for the position, Condodemetraky told the council that he had recently moved to Laconia from Belmont, where he held several positions in town government.

At the last City Council election in 2009 Terrill, the president of Lakes Region United Way ran against Baer, but fell just six votes short of winning

the seat.

With Anthony Felch running against incumbent Armand Bolduc in Ward 6, there will be contested races for City Council in three of the city’s wards.

Mayor Mike Seymour and councilors Matt Lahey (Ward 2), Henry Lipman (Ward 3) and Bob Hamel (Ward 5) are unopposed.

Incumbent school board members Chris Guilmett in Ward 4 and Stacie Sirois in Ward 5 are also seeking reelection without opposition.

SPEED from page one enacted and enforced,” he said.

Dunleavy said that through the month of July, Marine Patrol officers made 21 stops for excessive speed and issued six tickets and 15 warnings. Only five of the stops were made at night, leaving 16 made in the daytime. One particular 50-foot performance boat, like those featured on “Miami Vice,” was stopped four times for excessive speed, representing a quarter of all the daytime stops.

Three personal watercraft, better known as jet-skis, and a jet boat manufactured by Sea-Doo, all less than 20 feet in length, accounted for four stops. There were four stops of vessels between 21-feet and 25-feet in length, five of vessels between 26-feet and 30-feet in length and four of vessels between 31-feet and 35-feet in length.

Dunleavy said that contrary to the recent assertions by a reader of The Laconia Daily Sun, made in correspondence to the newspaper, that Marine Patrol has limited its enforce-

ment efforts to large performance boats, the data indicates that officers have stopped vessels of all sizes traveling at excessive speeds. “People on shore often don’t know why an officer stops a particular boat,” he said.

He explained that officers may come along aside in response to requests for assistance or direction as well as to cite the helmsman for an infraction, which may or may not involve excessive speed.

The data, Dunleavy suggested, reveals little about the impact of imposing the speed limits. Repeating that the results mirrored those found before the law was enacted, he said that “it is really had to say whether the law has had a significant impact” and noted that other factors, including fuel prices, the economy and the weather, may affect the volume and speed of boat traffic. Dunleavy did allow that the relatively small number of stops indicated a high level voluntary compliance with the speed limits.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband’s parents divorced 25 years ago, and both remarried people who had children from previous marriages. All of the siblings are self-supporting with the exception of one stepbrother, “Rick,” who is now 26. My in-laws pay for Rick’s apartment and all of his expenses because he can’t seem to hold a job and they don’t want him living with them.

My husband thinks he has the right to demand that his mother and her husband stop giving Rick money. I disagree.

How they spend their money is up to them. My husband says it isn’t really their money. It’s family money, and they should not be using his inheritance to support a lazy stepbrother. He doesn’t understand why he’s worked so hard all these years when Rick doesn’t have to. He told me he sees no reason to maintain a relationship with his mother if he’s not going to get anything out of it. I couldn’t believe my ears. He said he didn’t mean it the way it sounded.

I told him his parents don’t owe him an inheritance and that I hoped my own parents would spend every last dime before they died. My husband and I earn a good income. I am amazed that I married such a selfish man. I’ve never seen this side of him before, and I don’t like it at all. -- Floored Dear Floored: We don’t believe your husband is selfish so much as he is hurt and resentful. In your husband’s eyes, supporting Rick means Mom loves Rick more. Talk to him about those feelings, and see if you can help him understand that his parents did him an enormous favor by teaching him to be self-reliant, and that Rick will suffer in the long run. You also could remind him that, as the stepmother, his mom probably has less say over the matter than he realizes. We hope he can forgive her and move past this.

Dear Annie: I have spent many years in counseling trying to get over some social anxiety issues, but one still lingers.

People invite us to their homes, and we enjoy their hospitality, but returning the favor makes me beyond nervous.

I have nothing to offer that is as nice as what they have presented. I don’t cook very well and would never want to offend someone with less than what they provided for us. As a result, I have stopped accepting invitations. I have taken many different medications to work through this, but nothing seems to help. My mother was a wonderful hostess, so I was taught well. Is it just laziness? -- Social Dud Dear Social: No. Many people are nervous about entertaining, feeling that their homes and food are inadequate. You may even subconsciously be comparing yourself with your mother. Try hosting a smaller or larger event (sometimes serving only appetizers is less stressful) or a backyard barbecue.

You also can serve catered food or reciprocate by treating someone at a restaurant. But please keep in mind that most people are less focused on your house and cooking than you are. They simply want to enjoy their friends.

Dear Annie: You frequently advise readers to have the problem person see a doctor for evaluation. My question is: Just how is one supposed to get the problem person to a doctor if they don’t think they have a problem? -- A Longtime Reader Dear Reader: It’s true that you cannot force an adult to get help, which is why we often recommend counseling for the writer, as well. And sometimes, when the problem is psychological, the person is perfectly willing to see an internist, who could often refer or even medicate. Occasionally, threats to leave the marriage or throw out a freeloading child can “encourage” the problem person to seek professional help. The fact that it may not always be successful does not mean one shouldn’t make the effort.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 18, 2011— Page 23

GILFORD from page one as well as not to enter or extend any contracts for positions akin to either superintendent or business manager.

Recalling the steps leading to the establishment of a separate SAU for Gilford in 1998, the suit begins by stressing that the Gilford SAU Planning Committee, formed and convened according to state statute, recommended against appointing a superintendent.

Instead, the committee proposed a “school administrator” serve as the “chief executive officer of the district under the school board.” By way of explanation, the committee wrote “with the educational leadership team that is already in place, the primary qualification for the administrator is a strong executive ability.” The committee included the position of school administrator on an organizational chart and specified the duties and responsibilities of the position in appendices to its report.

Likewise, the committee proposed that “financial services under this plan are to be provided by the Town of Gilford under an agreement between the town and the school district.”

The suit notes that the committee’s proposals complied with all the relevant state statutes and in January, 1998 were approved by the State Board of Education, which then Commissioner of Education Elizabeth Twomey said “recommends adoption of the plan by the legislative body of the Gilford School District.”

At the school district meeting in March the plan was adopted by a majority of more than three-fifths of those present and voting and in May the DOE notifiued the Gilford School District the new SAU would become effective on July, 1, 1999.

The petitioners allege that sometime between May and December, 1998 the Gilford School Board “on its own authority” convened the “Gilford SAU Transition Study Committee. On December 3 this committee presented a plan at a public meeting that

Lambert, who began seeking to compel the School Board to follow the plan approved by the voters and state soon after it departed from it, said yesterday that he was moved to file suit because “the School Board was so cavalier about the result of the warrant article in March. They were arrogant.”

The court has ordered the school board to answer the suit by November 3.

All three of plaintiffs filed the lawsuit “pro se”, meaning they intend to represent themselves as the legal proceedings move forward.

GOLD from page 20 many foreign currencies were pegged to the dollar.

Gold gave the dollar its value, and the dollar gave everything else value.

Then the U.S. began running a trade deficit, and dollars piled up abroad. Central banks could redeem dollars for gold. But it was a poorly kept secret that the U.S. didn’t have enough gold to cash out every dollar in circulation.

To head off a rush, Nixon “closed the gold window,” essentially saying that confidence in the U.S. government, not gold, gives the dollar its value. Gold and the dollar began to rise and fall freely, and gold earned its place as protection against the falling dollar when confidence lags.

As inflation worsened later in the 1970s and dollars were worth less, the price of gold took off. Gold hit its high in 1980 — $850 an ounce, or more than $2,300 in today’s dollars.

This time is different because gold is rallying against all currencies, not just the dollar, says Jim Grant, editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer.

“Gold is the reciprocal of the world’s faith in the world’s central banks,” Grant says, and right now, “the world is in a pickle.”

Gold prices will probably keep rising until the U.S. and Europe get their finances in order, he says — and Grant doesn’t expect that to happen soon. He predicts inflation, low for the moment, will soar, further eroding the value of the dollar and leaving only gold as a good investment.

Cetin Ciner, a professor of finance at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, disagrees. He thinks gold is near a peak and people who buy now are blindly chasing the rising price.

“I’m thinking of it as like the dot-com stocks,” Ciner says.

Both Ciner and Grant caution, however, that when it comes to gold prices, no one really knows.

That’s because gold doesn’t have intrinsic value. It doesn’t offer an interest rate, like a bond, or represent a share of a company, like a stock. It is inherently speculative as an investment: You only make money if the price goes up.

Amy Robinette, who owns Gold Buying Girl, a network of 70 women in six states who throw parties for people to sell their gold jewelry, says her clients “don’t realize how much their gold is worth.” She gets a cut of the sales.

included both a superintendent and business administrator and two weeks later voted unanimously to staff the SAU office with 4.5 employees, including the superintendent.

Since 1999, the suit claims, all school boards have “consistently ignored the results of the 1998 vote,” contrary to state law.

The petitioners point out that contrary to claims made by the School Board, state law does not require SAUs to appoint a superintendent, but only to provide “superintendent services” in accord with the law. “School districts shall not be required to have a superintendent ,” the law reads, “and may assign
