Lamb makes plans for 3 debates but Forrester says, not so fast MEREDITH — The candidates vying for the New Hampshire Senate in District 2 — the incumbent Republican Jeanie Forrester of Meredith and Democratic challenger Bob Lamb of Holderness — remain at odds over scheduling a series of debates.

Last month, Forrester agreed to three events, beginning with a forum in Meredith that would include the eight candidates from Meredith and Gilford running for the four see dEBatEs page 14

M’borough officials hope to reign in out of control water trucks

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MOULTONBOROUGH — On August 9, shortly after 1:30 p.m., a truck leaving the CG Roxane spring water bottling facility and loaded with 18 tons of water lost its brakes while

negotiating the steep descent that precedes the intersection with Route 171. Unable to stop, or even slow down, the truck careened through the intersection, narrowly missed a residence on the other side of the highway. The vehicle’s iner-

tia carried the truck into the woods, through which it traveled about 200 feet before finding a tree stout enough to halt its progression.

The driver and owner of the truck, Chrisner Dorvius of New Jersey, was found to be operating

despite the fact that his operator’s license, commercial driver’s license and vehicle registration had been suspended, said Police Chief Leonard Wetherbee. Dorvius sustained minor physical injuries, though his legal health see truCKs page 14

Issues surrounding Leavitt Park Trust Fund to be aired on Monday By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — When the Parks and Recreation Commission meets Monday night it will return to the question of whether

funds from the Leavitt Park trust fund can be spent on improvements to the park house, which was raised last month when representatives of the Leavitt Park Association proposed replacing the floor at a cost

of approximately $10,000.

Relying on past precedent, the association intended to draw from the trust fund to fund the project. But, Kevin Dunleavy, see LEaVItt ParK page 12

Jaffrey police chief calls off fireworks due to threat

JAFFREY, N.H. (AP) — The police chief in Jaffrey, N.H., has canceled the annual Festival of Fireworks on Saturday after the department received a report threatening violence at the event.

Police Chief William Oswalt said the written report was received Thursday.

He said the Jaffrey Chamber of Commerce and the Keene Sentinel received similar threatening communications.

Oswalt said the author indicated a direct threat of violent action that would take place at or near the local airport where the fireworks was scheduled to take place on Saturday.

Oswalt said it is being investigated as a bomb threat. The department is being assisted by the state attorney general’s office, the U.S. Attorney, state police, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Postal Inspector’s office.

“At this early stage of the investigation, we have been unable to develop sufficient facts and information that provide a level of confisee THREAT page

Ryan’s most recent income tax rates higher than Romney’s WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to their federal taxes in the last two years, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has paid a lower federal tax rate than his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan.

Ryan, R-Wis., paid an effective federal tax rate of 15.9 percent in 2010 and 20 percent in 2011, according to tax returns released by the Romney campaign Friday evening.

In 2010, Ryan and his wife reported an adjusted gross income of just over $215,000. Most of that came from Ryan’s congressional salary. They paid more than $34,000 in federal taxes on that income.

They also paid $3,168 in employment taxes for a household worker.

In 2011, the couple reported an adjusted gross income of more than $323,000 and paid nearly $65,000 in federal taxes. In addition to Ryan’s salary, the couple made more than $50,000 in investment income from capital gains and qualified dividends.

They also made more than $116,000 in

rental income, royalties and trust income.

The couple owns rental property in Oklahoma, according to the return.

Ryan reported $2,600 in charitable donations in 2010 and nearly $13,000 in donations in 2011. The Romney campaign said the Ryans’ charitable contributions have gone to groups such as the Boy Scouts of America, Junior Achievement, Women & Children’s Horizons, which helps victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, and Care Net, which counsels women who have unplanned pregnancies to seek alternatives to abortion.

Romney’s tax returns have become a distraction for his campaign, with Democrats and even some fellow Republicans urging Romney to release more than two years of his returns. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., reignited the debate by making an unsubstantiated claim — roundly criticized — that Romney had not paid any taxes for 10 years.

Romney said Thursday he has paid at

least 13 percent of his income in federal taxes in each of the past 10 years. But he has refused to release more of his returns, calling the fascination with his taxes “small-minded.” He has released his 2010 returns and a preliminary 2011 return.

Romney paid about $3 million in federal income taxes in 2010 for an effective federal tax rate of 13.9 percent. For 2011, Romney’s campaign estimates that he will pay about $3.2 million for an effective federal tax rate of 15.4 percent.

On average, middle-income families, those making from $50,000 to $75,000 a year, pay 12.8 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. By comparison, Romney made about $21 million a year in 2010 and 2011.

Romney is able to keep his tax rate low because most of his income is from investments, which are generally taxed at a lower rate than wages. see TAXES page 15

Russian punk-rockers get 2 years for anti-Putin protest in church MOSCOW (AP) — Three punk rock-style activists who briefly took over a cathedral in a raucous prayer for deliverance from Vladimir Putin were sentenced to two years in prison for hooliganism on Friday, a decision that drew protests around the world as it highlighted the Russian president’s intensifying crackdown on dissent.

Protesters from Moscow to New York and musicians including Madonna and

Paul McCartney condemned the prosecution of the three women, members of a band called Pussy Riot. Several countries, including the U.S., and even some Kremlin loyalists decried the verdict.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alekhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, were arrested in March after performing a “punk prayer” in Christ the Savior Cathedral, dancing and high-kicking as they called

on the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin, who was elected to a third term as Russia’s president two weeks later.

Judge Marina Syrova ruled Friday that the band members had “committed hooliganism driven by religious hatred.” She rejected the women’s arguments that they were protesting the Russian Orthodox Church’s support for Putin and didn’t see RUSSIA page 10

Apple stock hits new high of $648.19 after 4-month dip

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple’s stock hit a new high Friday after a four-month swoon, as investors looked ahead to the release of a new iPhone and possibly a smaller iPad. Already the world’s most valuable company, Apple Inc. saw its stock hit $648.19 just before closing, before retreating to $648.11. That was up $11.77, or 1.9 percent, from Thursday’s close.

The previous high for the stock was $644, hit on April 10.

Apple has a market value of about $608 billion, almost 50 percent higher than No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp. at $408 billion.

Apple’s stock fell last month after the company’s earnings report for the April-June quarter showed the slowest growth in more than two years. It was only the second time in 10 years that Apple had missed analyst expectations.

Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek raised his price target on the stock to $900 from $800 on Friday, saying an “iPad Mini” is in production in China. His belief is based on readings of reports from Apple’s suppliers, contract manufacturers and contacts in the region. He now believes Apple will build 25 million iPads of all kinds in the current quarter, up from a previous estimate of 16 million, which did not include the “Mini.”

The Cupertino, Calif., company hasn’t said anything about a new iPhone or iPad. Speculation about a smaller iPad has been rife this year. Analysts believe Apple wants to make a cheaper tablet computer to counter the threat of the Google Inc.’s Nexus 7 and Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle Fire, both of which sell for $199. The cheapest current iPad costs $399.

Analysts now believe the iPhone 5 will go on sale in late September, and it’s widely believed that it will be the biggest phone launch ever. Rumored upgrades include the ability access the latest wireless data networks in the U.S. and a slightly bigger screen.

Leo O’Connell promoted to fleet captain of Mount Washington Cruises

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIIA — Leo O’Connell, long-time captain and safety director for Mount Washington Cruises, was promoted to fleet captain in a ceremony held aboard the M/S Mount Washington Friday morning.

While members of his family and the crew of the Mount looked on, O’Connell had the symbols of his new rank, shoulder boards (also known as epaulets), pinned on his shoulders by Captain Jim Morash of Mount Washington Cruises and his son, Leon O’Connell IV. Morash said that O’Connell becomes only the fourth fleet captain in the 72 years of the cruise line’s history, joining Bryan Avery, Bob Murphy and Bob Cole.

Prior to his promotion to captain in 2004, O’Connell’s career with Mount Washington Cruises included service in a number of capacities, including skipper, deck officer, pilot, justice of the peace, and a member of the company’s diving maintenance crew.

Morash said that as the company’s safety director, O’Connell was especially proud of the company’s commitment to the safety of its passengers and crew, and its excellent safety record.

O’Connell said that he was honored to be included in the distinguished ranks of fleet captains of the cruise line and thanked those whom he has worked with during his 20 years with the company.

“To be made fleet captain is way beyond anything I ever imagined. This is incredible,’’ said O’Connell,

who said that he was looking forward to working with the company’s other long-time employees ‘’with pride and respect’’ in the years ahead.

He noted that his wife, Lucille, better known as “Tink’’, and his three sons all worked for the cruise line at one time.

Formerly an officer with the State of New Hampshire Marine Patrol, O’Connell graduated third in his class at the Police Academy and was cited numerous times for service above and beyond the call of duty.

He also owned and operated a family business for 21 years, and was a snowmaker and Gunstock Ski Area for seven years and is an avid skier, snowmobiler and sports fan.

owners William and Carolyn McDonough.

The money for the proposed purchase is in a capital reserve account and no additional tax dollars will need to be raised.

Tuesday’s vote will represent the third attempt of the town to buy the former bank that is now home only to The Vault Hair Salon. In 2008, the vote fell short by nine votes when 134 voters voted for the purchase and 143 voted against it.

In 2010, voters again rejected the purchase with 311 for town ownership to 421 against.

Selectmen said the purpose of the purchase would be to possibly relocate the Belmont Town Offices into

the newer facility. They described the existing town office building as a “sick” and one that could cost taxpayers a lot of money to maintain in the future.

Twice in the past few years, the town has had to conduct tests in the basement to determine if the dampness is causing mold that could be contributing to an unsafe work environment.

“It makes perfectly good sense for us to buy this building,” said Selectmen Jon Pike at the meeting where th newest attempt to purchasse the building was discussed.

He added the purchase could be the piece that brings the whole village revitalization effort together.

Belmont special town votes on village revitalization questions is Tuesday By gAil oBeR

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — The ballot portion of the special town meeting called to decide if the voters want to close Mill Street Extension and spend no more than $250,000 to purchase the former Northway Bank Building on Main Street is Tuesday, August 21.

Polling is at the Belmont High School and polls will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

With the Belmont Village Revitalization project underway, selectmen said the closure of the part of Mill Street that runs past the old bank and down to the historic Belmont Mill would improve the overall plan for the $1.5-million projec. There are plans for the road through the parking lot next to the library to be extended down to the mill.

By state law, the town can only close a road with the vote of town meeting.

A second warrant article on Tuesday’s ballot asks voters to allow the town to spend no more than $250,000 to purchase the former Northway Bank building from

Froma Harrop

The mixed legacy of Helen Gurley Brown It took a poor girl from the Ozarks to look upon the candy store of sex and money that was postwar urban America and rearrange the shelves.

Helen Gurley Brown was she, the brains behind the racy Cosmopolitan magazine empire and author of the 1962 sensation “Sex and the Single Girl.” Was her influence good, bad or an in-between thing? Answer to come.

The Victorians had a name for the ambitious single woman who set up her own pad and dealt with men in a frank manner. It was “adventuress.”

Being an adventuress was hard to pull off. You needed wits and rare courage. Brown democratized her: Any gal could do it — make money, take on lovers, enjoy sex and marry well. Brown offered advice for managing the challenges, from creating an exotic oasis in a fourth-floor walk-up to dealing with the gynecological fallout of casual trysts.

No men, including married ones, are off limits. (The exception was the alcoholic. One suspects Brown herself had been there.) Subtle seduction plays no part here. The quiet sexiness of a well-tailored skirt suit — portrayed in the early episodes of “Mad Men” — was replaced by plunging necklines and slit skirts for going to the supermarket. There was little need for exploratory flirtation when the sexual goods were already displayed in the front window.

One can find merit in some of Brown’s philosophy while rejecting about 90-percent of it as delusional garbage. The good part was leveling the playing field between single women and sporting men, be they Playboy bachelors or bored husbands. The good part was telling single women that they could enjoy the present without a husband and without playing the spinster. Another good part was recognizing that healthy women had sexual desires and were allowed to meet them.

In the process, however, erotic sex was nearly destroyed.

It’s no news flash that female arousal differs from the male kind.

Brown promoted cheesy role reversals, whereby men would strip or perform sexy dances for women.

Headline-grabbing, these gambits were rather ineffectual. Romance gets short shrift in Cosmo, despite all those photo layouts of candlelit boudoirs. So does love, infatuation or whatever you want to call That Old Black Magic.

The copy tends toward how-to’s on sex positions and updates on the newest sexually transmitted diseases. The cover girls look trashy and dumb.

The appeal escapes me — but as a business proposition, one really can’t argue with Cosmopolitan.

There are now 64 international editions, including in such traditionbound countries as Azerbaijan and Mongolia. Cosmo world reportedly has 100 million readers.

Its formula for success has defiled other venerable publications aimed at younger women. “Self,” founded in 1978 as a health-oriented magazine for clean living, now sports tarty models and cover stories like the current issue’s “Hotter and Sexier in 3 Days.” “Seventeen” used to promote a fresh-faced female adolescence. Now the teen models wear giant heels and caked eye shadow.

Brown lost her father at age 10, had a sister paralyzed by polio and lived with a depressed mother. All the while, she worked like a dog.

Valedictorian at her high school, she lacked the money to complete her education at the Texas State College for Women (now Texas Woman’s University). She held a bunch of secretarial jobs, during which she accepted favors from her male bosses. But she did the bulk of her work in a stable marriage-partnership that lasted from 1959 to her husband’s death in 2010.

President Obama’s Affordable Care Act will strengthen Medicare To the editor, By choosing Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate, Governor Romney has indicated clearly his intention to dismantle Medicare and other government programs that protect the elderly, the disabled, the unemployed and children living in poverty.

I often wonder why people vote against their best interests. A senior citizen such as myself would see prescription costs rise by hundreds of dollars and the “donut hole “ in supplemental insurance plans reopen under the Romney-Ryan plan. The

voucher program their plan proposes would increase senior’s medical costs rise by more than $6,000 a year.

President Obama’s Affordable Care Act will strengthen and protect Medicare, while the Romney-Ryan plan would make massive cuts to programs that are critical to the economic security of the majority of Americans in order to help pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.

My vote for President Obama in November is clearly in my best interests.

LETTERS Seek Frank Guinta out & have a talk about what matters to you To the editor, With the current state of politics in our country, I find myself waiting a long time to decide whom I will vote for.

I’m simply not a vote the ticket kind of person. I want to know that the person I choose will be a thinker and a person of action. I don’t want them to refuse to talk with the other party simply because party leadership prohibits it. Likewise, I very seldom publically support a candidate. I have to meet the candidate and talk to them about issues and listen to them speak in public. I follow what they have done before seeking office as well as what they do when they are in office.

Like most of you, I don’t appreciate being lied to or fooled. I want a change in our federal government, change that is focused on the people and not on party politics or corporate sponsorship.

To be honest, my first impression of Frank Guinta many years back, wasn’t a “halleluiah” moment. I wasn’t won over by what I read or heard. Fortunately I had the opportunity to hear him speak in person and I really listened to what he had to say. He spoke about going to Congress as a job creator.

He talked about bringing New Hampshire values to Washington; hard work, opportunity, low taxes, and investment in education. He spoke of changing the dialog and course of our nation.

Well Frank went to Washington and he did what he said he would. As an example, he voted for over 40 “bipartisan” jobs bills in the House, in effect telling party leadership to “go pound sand.” He launched a work initiative with job fairs, manufacturers’ summits, women’s job summits, and much more right here at home. More importantly,

Frank left Washington on a regular basis and came back to talk to us — the people he represents, to check himself against what “we the people” in New Hampshire really need and to find out how he was doing for us.

I don’t recall ever having the opportunity to talk to my congressman in the past, but I’ve had two long conversations with Congressman Guinta during the short time he has held his current position. One discussion was held shortly before he spoke to Laconia Academy graduates. It was a congressional break and Frank drove directly from the airport, without stopping to see his wife and kids, so he could be with these students. My second discussion with Congressman Guinta was an early morning visit at Laconia Middle School, when he traveled over to be a guest speaker for the 2012 Leadership Lakes Region class.

In both instances in which he was scheduled to speak, he made extra time to have open discussions with me (and others), really listening and offering substantive dialog.

What won me over to Frank? I guess it was this statement: “I may not always agree with someone, but I will always listen and consider what they have to say.” This is the type of person I want representing me in Washington. I encourage you to take the time to seek Congressman Guinta out and to have a real talk about what really matters to you. I hope that like me, you’ll realize that re-electing Frank Guinta to Congress is a smart choice for New Hampshire voters.

Senator Forrester is person who goes out of her way to serve To the editor, This is an special endorsement for a special senator, a senator who has served her community and surrounding communities well.

Having seen Senator Forrester on a number of occasions now, it is indeed inspiring to see that she truly focuses on the issues of concerns for our communities. She is prompt in responding to peoples in e-mails. She attends many events, helping where she can as well as seeking what people look for. Her stance on the “Stop the North-

ern Pass” was excellent, encouraging bilateral partisan participation. And she is there helping serving spaghetti dinners for Ray Burton’s annual train event. This truly is a person who goes out of her way to serving the communities as well as she does.

Someone keeps begging Ms. Forrester to participate in five debates. One thing that person needs to know, even the Presidential Debates are only three.

While it is nice she would do three debates, she also has a lovely family she see next page

LETTERS Want Romney & his people to enjoy prosperity while you lose?

To the editor, I am a 60-year-old, conservative and independent voter. Sometimes I imagine myself to be a Republican insider, who gives a candid view of how a Republican leader thinks, and why Mitt Romney is the perfect candidate.

Mitt Romney and I belong to an elite club, which includes most wealthy Americans. Many of them run large corporations. We support and control the Republican Party. Our lobbyists tell Republican members of Congress how to vote, on the floor of the House and Senate. We insist that the primary goal of the Republican Party is to maintain and grow the wealth of our people. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the tax burden on wealthy individuals and corporations, because we create the jobs.

Now, we must convince hard-working, conservative, middle-class and independent voters, that they will be better off with a Mitt Romney presidency. I won’t be the one to tell them that 99.5-percent of taxpayers will expected to sacrifice, by accepting lower salaries and wages, fewer benefits and an increase in federal income taxes. These sacrifices must to made for the Mitt Romney plan to work, so more jobs can be created.

Women have always been a problem for the Republican Party. Since they were first allowed to vote 90 years ago, women have been directly responsible for the election of Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama.

They just don’t understand the issues.

We should get women to believe it is more fashionable to vote Republican.

Here in New Hampshire, we are lucky to have Senator Kelly Ayotte.

For two years, she has been a loyal Republican legislator. When our lobbyists discuss how our party will be voting on certain legislation, she listens and is with us 100-percent of the time. With her legal background, and her loyalty, Sen. Ayotte will be on President Romney’s short list to

be appointed to the Supreme Court.

Kelly will be another Pro-Big Business voice on the court, like our very good friend, Tony Scalia.

President Obama seems to be obsessed with the idea of raising taxes on our people and our corporations. He wants to raise taxes to the rates that were paid back in the mid-1990s, when the federal budget was balanced during the Clinton administration. Imagine, balancing the budget on the backs of the job creators. That will never happen when Mitt Romney takes over.

Our people who run the large health insurance companies are not happy.

Their profits are shrinking. One CEO had to take a cut in pay, down to $14-million a year. There are provisions in Obamacare that are interfering with these companys’ ability to delay and deny approval for expensive lifesaving operations. Obamacare must be repealed. Health insurance companies must be allowed to pick and choose which claims they want to cover. Their shareholders demand big profits.

We have to find places to cut the federal budget. It is time to eliminate wasteful federal agencies like OSHA and the EPA. No company wants to pollute or have an unsafe workplace.

All corporations should be allowed to police and regulate themselves. The billions of dollars that will be saved, can be used to create more jobs.

I am not imagining anymore. We have an important decision to make in November. If you agree with the Republican vision for the future, vote for Mitt Romney. If he is elected, he and his family will have to move into that little white house in a bad neighborhood at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C. You will watch President Romney rise to the level of other great Republican presidents like Richard M. Nixon and George W. Bush. Then, Mitt Romney and his people will enjoy unprecedented prosperity, and the rest of us lose..

LETTERS Obamacare will result in a formal two-tier system of care in U.S.

Colorado mass murder was catastrophe that shouldn’t be exploited

To the editor, This could be the most memorable letter to the editor in The Sun you have ever read.

That is some feat given the Empire State building-high pile of literary poop that James Veverka has put in this paper. The Daily Sun has leveled a forest printing the deranged, donkey drivel of liberal demagogues French-kissing Obamacare and it’s 22 new TAXES — almost all of which will be paid for out of the pockets of the MIDDLE CLASS as HIGHER PRICES on just about everything they buy from a pizza to a pencil.

Here is why you will remember this letter. I will bet ANY Democrat ANY sum they wish that the following will result if Obama wins the election and the devils disciple of health legislation becomes the law of the land. I am making this bet because I am 1000-percent certain what I say is the HONEST truth. It is not Democratic, partisan, BS, like old doc Tom Dawson dispenses from his snuff box. Unlike Tom and James, I am backing my rhetoric with my money on YOUR BEHALF to prove these two LIBERAL LUNATICS are just pandering pests who spread ill the same ways flies on garbage do — and Obamacare is GARBAGE. If you can’t embrace Romney for whatever reasons, embrace him to save your own life and assure your family, especially if they are older, have access to medical care.

1. Every professional analysis today indicates there will be an ever WORSENING DOCTOR shortage in America from 2014 on. It will reach epidemic proportions in many parts of the country quickly. Eighty-three percent of doctors in a recent poll already have said they have considered retiring early or leaving the profession early for one reason, Obamacare.

Obamacare pushes 33 million NEW people into doctors’ offices, all who will essentially get free or SUBSIDIZED care. Nothing gets OVER use more than that which is FREE. In a business already booked to capacity that will be a DEATH WISH for all users.

2. Three words you have never heard till today will be on EVERYONES lips in 2014. “CONCIERGE DOCTORS CARE”. You read it first in The Daily Sun and you heard it first from me. Money is going to BUY people ACCESS to doctors they likely

To the editor, The mainstream media and the modern day liberal, progressive establishment just can’t help themselves.

Within hours after the mass murder tragedy at a movie theater in Aurora Colorado, ABC’s Brian Ross tells a national audience that James Holmes is perhaps connected to the Colorado Tea Party because the first thing he did was go to a tea party website. Of course, the James Holmes tea party member is a 52-year-old Hispanic rather than a 24-year-old PhD student in neuroscience. Apparently, ABC didn’t learn anything from NBC’s shameless editing in the immediate aftermath of the Trayvon Martin tragedy or the leftwing media’s false reporting and accusatory attacks in the Jared Loughner case and the Duke lacrosse case. At least in this case, CBS and NBC were able to try a little introspection and avoid interjecting politics while we try to discern what caused the young man’s entrance into madness and become a killing machine. They certainly had good reason to do so. The recent history of false accusations against the tea party and the 2nd Amendment includes — Jared Loughner, the cabby stabber, the killer of Bill Sparkman, Amy Bishop, the IRS plane crasher, the attempted Times Square bombing and the Pentagon shooter. Heck, while trying to pin the blame for the Tucson shooting on Sarah Palin, the left blogosphere went wild repeating a fake Sinclair Lewis quote, “When facism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”. Yes indeed, nothing describes calm, liberal rhetoric like equating Old Glory and Christianity with facism.

The inevitable gun control lobbying has resumed with Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Ed Rendell and CNN’s Piers Morgan already weighing in. In the minds of most leftists, more legally owned guns equals more killing. The evidence is all in, case closed, just as it is with man made global warming.

It doesn’t matter that the Bureau of Justice statistics shows that since 1973, the total number of violent crime victims per one thousand has gone down 65-percent. Or that the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance

will not likely be able to get ANY OTHER WAY. Obamacare GUTS and SLASHES reimbursement payments to doctors and hospitals. Becoming a DOCTOR will be seen as one of the least attractive professions in the world as UNCLE SAM DOMINATES and second guesses their every ACTION and controls their INCOME. In the normal, free enterprise world (not government manipulated) when demand exceeds supply prices RISE until the market normalizes. That market clearing mechanism cannot happen under OBAMACARE. Doctors can not raise prices on the 33-million new enrollees nor the endless millions on Medicare because GOVERNMENT DICTATES FEES. Thus, all the people government is paying medical care for, including Medicare recipients, will be put at the back of the BUS. When the SHORTAGE hits they will be seen as even greater ECONOMIC losers to doctors than they are today. So people HOG TIED to government, by government, will be paying about $2000,00 a year to doctors to gain access to care. There will be a formal, TWO TIER system of health care, the same way there is in every European country and the poor will be worse off for it than they are now. Have you already FORGOT what happened to the POOR with our help offering them sub prime mortgages. Free your self from the Democratic dependency dogma for ONCE in your life and it may save YOUR LIFE, or that of a loved one.

3.The average wait time to see a family doctor in America is a couple of weeks. In Massachusetts, operating under Obamacare already, it is almost two months and Mass. has the highest per capita health costs of any state in all of America. Obamacare is bankrupting many Mass. communities, requiring CUTS to every other endeavor including education, police, and roads to pay for it. Look it up if you do not believe me. Simply providing scheduling, counseling and follow up related to the FREE preventive care that Obamacare authorizes will consume almost every hour of doctor time now available in America, according to scholars at Duke University — let alone all the new encyclopedia of reports that Obama-care demands from every doctors office.

Vote to save your life and those you love.

I believe this particular sound bite was a window to Obama’s soul To the editor, Personally, I as a rule hate sound bite politics. It’s function is almost always to insight emotion in a particular demographic. Because it’s vehicle is just a blurb it is easy to take what is its focus, out of context, or even worse, its focus is often a euphemism that incites strong emotion but has little descriptive value of the thing to which it refers. Yet this flap over Romney quoting President Obama out of context when he said, “If you got a business you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen,” I believe is the exception.

I will try to explain. President Obama is a very eloquent speaker.

There are different types of eloquent speakers though. One of my favor-

and listened to recordings of some of his prose. Lincoln was eloquent in describing a thing as it is. To me that is the standard in good speech making and writing, if you can describe something so that the reader or hearer can see the thing clearly — that is it. It seems to me that Obama on the other hand employs his eloquence to paint a mirage. He uses moving imagery, that connects with peoples desires, but it is in almost no way descriptive of what he is about or what he is doing.

In this case I believe the sound bite is a clearer window into President Obama’s soul than the whole lofty speech. That is no foul.

John Demakowski Franklin

System has statistics revealing that Brady’s “reasonable” gun control correlates with reduced gun ownership and higher rates of overall violence and murder. This system is operated by state health departments in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC collects this information from death certificates, while the FBI collects data from law enforcement agencies. This information boils down to one very basic finding: with rare exceptions, right to carry states with more guns at home and in the public have less violent crime and murder.

So even before we knew the names of all the victims, the left was again in high gear smearing the tea party while “shooting” for their ultimate goal of a police state and a defenseless populace.

What’s not to like? A safe, secure and hermetically sealed citizenry devoid of any individual freedoms and controlled by a power drunk liberal aristocracy.

Beautiful — the elitists, the criminals and we, the sitting ducks. Okay, we can have this gun control debate again if you wish, but let’s put it aside for now shall we?

This mass murder is a horrible catastrophe. The loss of life and the massive amount of physical injuries is difficult for this nation to comprehend. The emotional horror that has been inflicted upon the injured, the uninjured bystanders and the families of the dead is staggering and will endure for a lifetime. Shouldn’t the nation be allowed to grieve and mourn for these poor souls before the Democrats and the complicit media interject partisan politics into this case? Is this not a perfect opportunity for all of us to reflect and regain some perspective about what is important? Certainly that must be more important than political posturing. I have said prayers for all involved in this senseless tragedy and will also pray that the Democrats and the liberal media will be able to show some compassion and use reasonable restraint the next time this nation suffers a loss of this magnitude. Perhaps they will as they sit and observe the solemn and oh so sad prayer vigil that is being broadcast as I finish this letter.

Obamacare will result in a formal two-tier system of care in U.S. To the editor, I (like many others) am supporting Bill Grimm in the race for State Senate - District 7. A lot of people get mislead very easily, whether to, or not to vote for a candidate but it is essential to know the real facts and differentiate them from the fake rumors before choosing.

I chose to back up my friend, former head of school, and a hopeful State Senator Bill Grimm a hundred percent, because I know him as the intelligent, good hearted, driven leader that he is. His will power to carry through with the goals he puts out is impressive as the fact that he started the first and foremost charter school in New Hampshire. Soon to follow, Mr. Grimm had won a prestige citizen of the year award for his efforts in

improvement of the education system.

Through the Franklin Career Academy he and the fantastic teaching staff taught us (the students) the key elements to be successful, independent, resourceful, and how to find ourselves if whenever we feel lost.

We as students all had an individual development plan with clear objectives approved by the parents and the school. It is clear Mr. Grimm’s ideas in improving the education are grounded, logical, and experienced.

I am fully eligible and will be voting in the September 11th primary, Bill Grimm has my vote. He has what it takes to be a great senator for District 7 and the State of New Hampshire.

There’s a new restaurant in Meredith you need to know about To the editor, I want to take this opportunity to let your readers know of a new restaurant which recently opened on Main Street in Meredith. The name of this new place is The Frog Rock Tavern.

It is located in the former Karen and Barry’s Italian Restaurant building, next to the community park.

I have eaten at this place a couple of times now and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The food is good and not expensive. The selections are varied, in other words, there is something for everyone. There are many different beers, wines and

liquors to select from, in addition to non-alcoholic beverages.

The Frog Rock Tavern is a family gathering place. As someone remarked tonight when I was there, ‘this is just what is needed in the town of Meredith’.

One thing: when you go in, please ask to see the floor of the men’s room.

I will not give away the surprise, but trust me, you will be impressed to say the very least.

Good luck Frog Rock Tavern and welcome to Meredith.

Today’s youth not aware of games that entertained their grandparents To the editor, The age of technology, which provides us with a variety of electronic pastime devices in addition to the allure of television, has been a detrimental motivator for people of all ages. Rather than to engage in physical play or challenge the brain by competitive interactions with others, inactive play with pre-packaged games or passively watching TV can have a negative effect on the body.

Playing games is not only a pastime for fun and frolic, but is geared especially to children as they learn adjustments in social group settings.

Sharing the diversion and entertainment of games within the family or in the circle of friends and acquaintances is both challenging and an invitation to a healthy competitive spirit.

We hear so much of obesity and yet, romping on nice days in the outdoors by engaging in the games of yesteryear by both children and adults seems to have been put on the ash heap of history. Games can be played by any and all and in almost all locations and situations. Even little ones like to participate in simple games at birthday parties. In the past, people of all ages either created games by their own imagination or enjoyed board- or card games in social gatherings that are much enhanced by game-playing activities.

Perhaps the word “play” now has a different connotation and is marketed

strictly for items that can be purchased in stores. There is nothing wrong with that, but are we not passing on the enjoyment we once had that required our own physical involvement? We of the older generation know that to find a rope in a garage would immediately challenge us to utilize it for a variety of game-playing activities. Why don’t we see drawings of the “hopscotch” game any more on pavements? A little chalk and a flat stone is all that is needed to keep players enthralled for hours in a competitive and physically enabling capacity.

It is possible that today’s youngsters are not even aware of the games that entertained their grandparents in childhood. In this time of personal financial stress grandma and grandpa may want to rummage through their youthful memories and share those recollections with their grandchildren. Weaning them away from the expensive electronic devices does not only help with the budget but also introduces them to mental and physical activities they can experience in a healthy environment. We formed so many friendships during our youth and as soon as we had completed our school work and chores, we just gravitated to our fun time. I don’t even remember any one of us being lonely or being OVERWEIGHT? Karin Valade Laconia

Romney’s against Obamacare but as governor he signed exact replica To the editor, Random thoughts: I have been told that I am a supporter of President Obama, which could not be further from the truth. I did not vote for Mr. Obama in 2008 , nor do I intent to vote for him in 2012.

I will not vote for Willard as well, as I find him the John Kerry of Republican politics. He is for things before he is against them.

He is against the Affordable Care Act, however as governor of Massachusetts, he signed exactly the same bill. He claims to be a friend of the of the NRA, however again as governor, he signed one of the toughest gun laws in the country. And finally, he claims to have “balanced “ four budgets, however, when he left office, he left a structural deficit of nearly a billion dollars .

Like most moderates, we have no place to go. I suspect many conservatives feel the same way.

LACONIA — The theft of recyclable materials from the curbside should dispel any lingering doubts about their value and with it the importance of recycling.

Ann Saltmarsh of the Department of Public Works, who manages the recycling program, said yesterday that she has had several calls from residents reporting people taking aluminum cans from recycling bins in their neighborhoods. And yesterday a city employee spotted a man taking cans from recycling bins and loading them into his car in the South End. The license plate was reported to the police and Officer John Howe located the man, who told him he was collecting the cans for the Boy Scouts. Saltmarsh said that the DPW declined to press charges.

However, Saltmarsh stressed that once recyclables are put in a bin and placed at the curb or taken to one of the remote containers, they become the property of the city. Removing them, she warned, constitutes theft, for which the perpetrator can be prosecuted.

Stealing recyclable materials costs the taxpayers, Saltmarsh said, explaining that each ton that is

recycled spares taxpayers the $150 required to collect, transport and dispose of solid waste. So far the amounts taken have been small.

But, elsewhere, stealing recyclables has become big business. Last month three men were arrested in New Jersey for their alleged part in what police described as “an organized recycling theft operation” that netted the thieves $100,000 from the sale of 900 tons of boxed and baled cardboard stolen from Walmarts and Sam’s Clubs. Overshadowed by the theft scrap metals, “cardboard poaching” costs legitimate collectors and haulers of recyclable materials in New York City an estimated $8-million to $10-million a year.

Last year 15 suspected thieves were arrested and an equal number of vehicles impounded in the Big Apple.

Meanwhile, Saltmarsh said that tires, electronic appliances and equipment and yard waste has been left at the remote recycling location on Messer Street. This, she said, represents illegal dumping, which carries a fine of up to $5,000 and as many as 90 days in jail. Saltmarsh cautioned that surveillance cameras mounted on the rear of the building on Messer Street are connected directly to the Police Department and violators will be identified..

RUSSIA from page 2 intend to offend religious believers.

Putin himself had said the band members shouldn’t be judged too harshly, creating expectations that they could be sentenced to time served and freed in the courtroom. This, however, would have left the impression that Putin had bowed to public pressure, something he has resisted throughout his 12 years in power.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Putin couldn’t intervene in the judicial process and refused to comment on the sentence.

When the sentence was announced, shouts of “down with the police state” rose from a crowd of hundreds of Pussy Riot supporters outside the courtroom. More than 50 people were detained, including former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, who said police beat him.

Protesters donned the colorful balaclavas that have become a symbol of the band in many European and U.S. cities, though no single protest outside Moscow drew more than a few hundred people.

In Kiev, Ukraine, four women, one of whom was topless, used a chainsaw to cut down a cross. About 40 protesters gathered in New York held up ban-

ners that read: “We are all hooligans.”

The crowd in Moscow included many of the prominent writers, journalists and opposition partisans who spearheaded the mass protests that shook the city over the winter and spring. Pussy Riot was an obscure band of activists for much of that time, and some fellow opponents of Putin disapproved of their tactics, but they rallied to the group’s defense after the March arrests.

For three hours as the judge read the verdict, the defendants stood in handcuffs in a glass cage in the courtroom, the same one where oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, another Putin opponent, was convicted two years ago.

The three women smiled sadly as the judge recounted testimony of prosecution witnesses accusing them of sacrilege and “devilish dances” in the church and said that their feminist views made them hate the Orthodox religion.

Tolokonnikova laughed out loud when the judge read the testimony of a psychologist who said that her “active stance on social issues” was an anomaly.

The three women remained calm and kept smiling after the judge announced the sentence. Someone in the courtroom shouted “Shame!” They waved at relatives from behind the glass.

This is an outrageous statement, whether you like the president or not. Again he, Mr. Right-to-work (for less) is part of the problem not of a solution .

Did we mention D.J. Bettoncourt?

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention our resident cement head.

One of his latest rants was about the education system and what is wrong

with it. He of course offered no solutions, only criticism.

He obviously was not talking about Gilford and the great schools we have in this town. Yes, It is expensive and maybe there is room for some cuts.

However, we in this town are very fortunate to have such an outstanding system. Educators have a tough and very stressful job. Cement head is obviously clueless Bill Knightly Gilford

Gilford’s Post Cane to be awarded to David Bickford

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — David Bickford is intimately familiar with the Boston Post Cane Award.

Not only did he present Boston Post Canes to three of Gilmanton’s eldest residents while he was a selectman, his late wife Lizzie Bickford was Gilmanton’s recipient in 2003.

“I might be the only family with two Boston Cane Awards,” said the 99-year-old Bickford who will receive his cane — symbol of being the town’s oldest resident — on Wednesday night from Gilford selectman.e Until he sold his family home to move to Gilford after Lizzie died, Bickford, who was born April 18,

1913 spent all of his life in Gilmanton.

And as a Gilmanton resident he has just about done it all, serving as selectman for 18 years, serving on the budget committee for nine years, being the town treasurer for 22 years and employed as cemetery director for Pine Grove Cemetery in Gilmanton Iron Works for 40 years.

He was a firefighter for 28 years and served part of that time as chief, saying he finally retired for good at 83.

He keeps a picture of himself, Belknap County Sheriff Rodney Crockett, Deputy Sheriff Don Alden standing in front of some marijuana plants during the what he said was the first bust of a marijuana see next page

from preceding page grower in the county in 1971.

“The guy who owned the property told me he thought something illegal was happening,” Bickford said, noting at the time the Belknap County provided police coverage for Gilmanton.

“And I did all of that while working somewhere else for a living,” Bickford said.

Professionally, Bickford said as a young man he “followed in the family footsteps” and became a carpenter, working in Concord.

With gas rationing during the war, he could not get enough gas to make the commute so at the age of 30 he started working for an man who had converted his Chevrolet garage in Alton Bay into a machine shop.

When the war ended and Chevy’s were being made again, he became an auto mechanic rising to foreman.

“I wasn’t white collar,” he said. “I worked in the garage. I was the only one who could rebuilt an automatic transmission or do a front-end alignment.”

Bickford said he met and married his wife in 1933.

“It was 1933 — the middle of the depression — and we both worked at an apple farm on Frisky Hill,” he began.

Bickford said he was one of the higher paid people who worked there. He got paid 45 cents an hour for making 30 apple boxes each hour.

He said he was kind of shy but the two got to know each other and one day Lizzie asked him if he would

like to go to the movies.

“I told her I didn’t have a car,” he said. He said Lizzie suggested he borrow his older brother’s car.

He said his brother agreed to lend him the car if he put five gallons of gas, worth about a dollar, in it.

Bickford said his brother got to drive back and forth to work for a week for free and he ended up marrying Lizzie, the woman he stayed married to for nearly 72 years.

The Bickford’s had one daughter, Evelyn, who he said was born in his grandfather’s bedroom with the assistance of a nurse.

After Evelyn, who lives in the area and visits her father every day, left the nest he said Lizzie “got the hunting bug” and the two of them either hunted and fished during their spare time.

“We got four deer between the two of us,” he said.

A lover of the outdoors, Bickford said he often adopted wild baby animals as pets including a woodchuck named “Chuck” and a crow named “Blackie.”

Bickford still lives alone and independently. He mows his own lawn, drives and cooks Sunday dinner for the family, including baking a fresh pie.

Although he said yesterday he didn’t copy any of Lizzie’s pie recipes, he usually bakes a different pie each Sunday unless the weather is too hot.

If all goes as planned, Bickford said five generations of his family will be at the selectman’s meeting Wednesday to see him get his Boston Post Cane. The presentation will be a 7 p.m.

LEAVITT PARK from page one director of Parks and Recreation, questioned the propriety of tapping the trust fund on the strength of a formal policy adopted by the City Council in 1996 by which “certain costs for the operation, maintenance and repair” of the park houses were shared between the city and the associations.

Apart from a $2,200 annual allotment from the city, the associations are responsible for all utilities — heat, water, sewage, electricity and telephones as well as trash disposal. Generally the associations tend to interior maintenance and repair, including plumbing and electricity. Structural repairs, replacement of heating systems, along with plumbing and electrical fixtures, and exterior painting are the responsibility of the city.

Dunleavy suspected flooring qualified as a structural repair and furthermore, wondered if proceeds from the trust fund could be applied to the building or were restricted to the park. He offered to comb through the documentation in hopes of settling the issue.

Leavitt Park and the trust fund were donated to the city by Thomas Leavitt in 1909. In his will

he bequeathed two parcels of land, “my homestead place with the buildings thereon” of one acre and “eleven and one-half rods,” and another tract of “one acre, more or less,” for “a public park and for no other purpose . . . “to be named Leavitt Park.” At the same time, he also gave the city “all of the income from the rest, residue and remainder of my property real, personal and mixed not otherwise disposed of . . . to use all of said income for the improvement and maintenance of said park.”

The Trustees of the Trust Funds have interpreted the will to stipulate that only the income, not the principal, can be spent on the park. At the close of the fiscal year on June 30, the balance of the fund was $187,986, of which $160,441 was non-expendable principal and $27,545 was income.

Although records are scanty, how the proceeds of the trust fund can be spent has varied with time. In 1975, Richard Tapply, the then director of Parks of Recreation, informed the chairwoman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Ida Avery, of a problem arisen about the trust. He noted “over the years” see next page

Truck stolen from State School turns up in Ahern Park LACONIA — A state-owned pickup truck that had been reported stolen from the former State School property on Parade Road was discovered early yesterday morning. Sergent Thomas Swett said the truck was found abandoned at a state-owned pump house along the access road to Ahern Park, a property that abuts the State School land.

Swett said the truck, a gray 1999 GMC, was found in serviceable condition and that it contained some, but not all, of the equipment that went missing

along with the truck. Police are still investigating and ask anyone with information to call the department at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

On Wednesday morning, the truck was discovered missing from a maintenance building on the campus. Also stolen was copper pulled from the building, as well as hand tools, power tools and landscaping equipment.

Drawing for new Harley-Davidson will be held at Gilford Town Hall on Monday GILFORD — The drawing for the Harley-Davidson motorcycle being raffled off to raise money for the Gilford Police Relief Association will be held in the lobby of the Police Department at 7 p.m. Monday.

Police Relief Association spokesman Wesley de Sousa said yesterday all 600 of the tickets have been sold.

He said the majority of the money, as well as that raised in the Patrick’s Pub fundraiser, will go to support the police K-9 program.

The Gilford Police Relief Fund also supports local charities, individuals in need, the DARE Program and the Greater Lakes Child Advocacy Center.

from preceding page the Leavitt Park Association, with the approval of the commission and the trustees of the trust funds, applied income from the trust to “major improvements to the park,” including an addition to the building and construction of tennis courts.

But, Tapply continued, in 1974 the city manager included $7,000 in income from the trust in the department’s budget, earmarking the money for Leavitt Park.

The association balked, claiming that proceeds from the trust, which traditionally it had a hand in spending, was being treated like general funds. He said that the association believes the commission alone has authority to expend trust funds while the trustees of the trust funds must determinate if the expenditure conforms to the terms of the will.

Tapply said that the commission shared the opinion of the association. “It has been past policy that the Leavitt Park Association would present a plan for spending trust funds,” he wrote. “Not until this plan had the written endorsement of the commission and the trustees of the trust fund, could the funds be spent.” However, he reported that the the trustees themselves were divided. “It is the apparent opinion of the city manager, some members of the City Council and some of the Leavitt trustees,” he said, “that anyone may approach the trustees of the trust directly and request use of the funds.”

Tapply concluded by proposing to convene a committee to resolve the issue. But, there the record stops. However, in 1985 the commission was agreed that the trust fund could be used for “buildings and grounds.” And in 2001, when a commissioner asked if the association could request money from the trust fund, Phil Rowley, the director of Parks and Recreation, replied that “in the past, all requests to the Trustees of Trust Fund were made by the Parks

and Recreation Commission. The association would make their requests to the commission and the commission would make the request to the trustees.”

Nevertheless, an undated document defining the purpose of the Leavitt Park Trust stipulates that “income to be used for park projects only. No money on the buildings, only on playground projects.”

While the documentation may appear ambiguous, Bob Fortier, who has belonged to the Leavitt Park Association since 1959, is not in doubt. He insists that proceeds of the trust fund were used to build a 30 foot by 30 foot addition to the park house in 1969, a storage building, a sub-floor and purchase and install a new furnace.

TRUCKS from page one remains imperiled.

Some 40 trucks per day travel the steep Ossipe Park Road to collect a load of bottled spring water, according to Wetherbee. He said a similar accident occurred in May, when the brakes of another truck also failed. In that instance, the driver attempted to negotiate the intersection by turning the wheel hard to the right. The truck slid across the roadway and flipped onto its side when the tires reached the soft shoulder on the other side of the road. Wetherbee said a State Police investigation of the truck found numerous mechanical deficiencies.

A third incident occurred a few years ago, that truck left Ossipee Park Road while it was still on the bottling facility’s property.

Nearby residents have taken notice of the apparent hazard. In a letter

published in yesterday’s Daily Sun, Barbara Perry asks, “What is it going to take to have this situation corrected?... Come on folks, wake up and do something soon before someone does die because of your stupidity.”

Residents aren’t the only ones concerned, though. Town officials have responded to the recent incident by convening a meeting of the Highway Safety Committee, consisting of the police and fire chiefs, town planner and the director of the Public Works Department. Carter Terenzini, the town administrator, said the committee produced a list of recommendations, which were presented to the Selectboard at a meeting earlier this week. The board invited a representative of the committee to discuss the recommendations at a workshop, scheduled for 4 p.m. on August 23.

Terenzini said a portion of the meet-

ing will be open to the public, and said Selectmen typically accommodate members of the public who wish to make a comment.

The Highway Safety Committee recommended, as short-term measures, a slower speed limit for traffic heading down from the bottling facility to Route 171 and that signs be placed along Ossipee Park Road asking drivers to check their brakes and warning them of the steep descent, narrow bridge and stop sign ahead. Also recommended is that Ossipee Park Road is re-named to avoid driver confusion with the nearby Ossipee Mountain Road.

Longer-term solutions recom-

mended by the committee are that Wetherbee work with the Department of Safety to increase patrols and enforcement of trucks on that road.

State police can pull over any truck to inspect its paperwork and equipment; municipal police must have reason to suspect a possible violation. The committee also suggests that the town works with CG Roxane to construct a run-out ramp for trucks who have lost the ability to brake.

“We’re just going to have to watch how this unfolds,” said Terenzini.

“The police department is committed to enforcing everything we can to help make that road safer,” said Wetherbee.

DEBATES from page one for the four seats in the House of Representatives from the district consisting of the two towns. She also agreed to debate in Plymouth, which she told Lamb “is yours to arrange as you would like.” Finally, she suggested an event in Haverhill, at the VFW Post, Due to renovations at LHS, for the month of August, 10am that would be “arranged by the local Sunday Services will be held in the Seventh-day Adventist media.”

He noted that he understood representatives of the two campaigns agreed to a fourth debate in Tilton and repeated his misgivings about including eight House Sunday Worship 10:00 am candidates in a 90-minute forum in Meredith, which he said would leave Pastor John Sanborn candidates only nine minutes each to respond to questions.

Yesterday Lamb wrote to Forrester a n d issued LifeQuest Church a press release Sunday School, 9:30am • Worship Service, 10:30am

saying that he would appear in Meredith at what he called a “non-debate forum “ with other candidates on September 19 and announced that he had arranged “three face-to-face debates.”

The first he scheduled at the Horse Meadow Senior Center in Haverhill on October 9 at 6:30 p.m., the second at the Pease Public Library in Plymouth on October 10 at 6:30 p.m. and the third at the Tilton Senior Center on October 16 at 6:30 p.m. He said he would ask the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire to provide moderators for all three debates.

Lamb said that Carol Gerken, Forrester’s campaign manager assured him that the three dates were suitable.

Lamb said that he had not heard from Forrester since their exchange last month and, after learning that Forrester would be available on the specific dates, “I’ve just gone ahead and set up these debates on dates that I knew suited her. I’ve sent her a constructive, above board proposal ,” he continued. “I hope she will accept it.”

Forrester said yesterday that she was “very surprised” by Lamb’s proposal, see next page

Patriots sign Olympic silver medalist Jeff Demps

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots have agreed to terms with Olympic silver medalist Jeff Demps, who played running back at Florida but was not drafted by an NFL team because he said he wanted to focus on his track career.

Patriots player personnel director Nick Caserio said in his meeting with reporters on Friday that the team had nothing to report. But later in the night, after reports began to surface, the Patriots issued a press release, announcing the signing of the 22-year-old sprinter.

Demps earned the Olympic silver medal in the 4x100 relay as part of the team that finished second to Jamaica at the London Games last week. His football agent, Daniel Rose, told The Associated Press this week that several NFL teams were interested in the former running back from Florida. from preceding page which she called “ridiculous” and “disingenuous on his part.” She said that “he’s not really interested in debating” and repeated an earlier charge that “he’s interested in making an issue of this.”

Forrester said that “I have not agreed to anything” and that she intended to consider and prepare a formal response to Lamb’s initiative.

Jeter hits 250th homer as Yankees beat Red Sox 6-4

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter stood by his locker and smiled with satisfaction. He hit his 250th home run, and it helped the New York Yankees pick up a win. Over the Boston Red Sox. “I always see all the time: He doesn’t hit home runs.

Blah, blah, blah,” he said. “I think it’s a lot. I’ll take it.”

Jeter hit a tying drive in the fifth inning, one of five solo home runs by the Yankees that backed Phil Hughes in Friday night’s lightning-filled 6-4 victory.

Willie Mays and Jeter are the only players with 3,000 hits, 250 homers, 300 steals and 1,200 RBIs. Nick Swisher connected twice as the Yankees won for the eighth time in 10 games. Swisher, Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin and Jeter homered off Franklin Morales (3-4), and Swisher added another solo shot in the seventh against Clayton Mortensen.

Jeter’s homer gave the Yankees 10 players with 10 or more this season, tying the club record set in 1998, and gave him double digits for the 16th time.

Swisher homered in the first, and Granderson and Martin connected during a three-pitch span in the second, just before a bolt of lightning flashed beyond center field and thunder cracked.

Hughes (12-10) survived his own throwing error that led to four unearned runs during a rainy third inning. Down 3-0, the Red Sox went ahead on Dustin Pedroia’s three-run homer, the 28th long ball off Hughes this year.

“We let Hughes off the hook. We had him on the ropes earlier: 77 pitches in four,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. “Hit some balls real early in the count and got him back in the game.”

Hughes had a curious outing, retiring 19 of 21 batters not counting the third inning. Throwing more changeups than he had in any four-five starts combined the rest of the year, he allowed four hits in seven innings, struck out four and walked one.

Play turned as sloppy as the field in the third. Mike Aviles singled and Hughes threw Scott Podsednik’s potential double-play comebacker into center for an error that left runners at the corners. Pedro Ciriaco hit an RBI grounder, Jacoby Ellsbury walked and, with two outs, Pedroia hit a no-doubt drive to left — on his 29th birthday.

“I just didn’t get a grip on it,” Hughes said of the comebacker. “Instead of doing the smart thing, just getting the out at first, I really wanted the double play and tried to throw it with basically a palm grip.”

David Robertson pitched the eighth, when Granderson ran down Pedroia’s one-on drive just in front of the wall in left-center, the deepest part of the ballpark. Rafael Soriano finished for his 30th save in 32 chances, completing a five-hitter.

New York, which has led the AL East since midJune, improved to 7-3 against the Red Sox this season.

GILFORD — Patricia R. Boudreau, 61, of 94 Saltmarsh Pond Road, died suddenly during the early hours of Aug. 16th in her home.

She was born in Bakersfield, California and moved to the Lakes Region in 1969.

She was employed as a nurse at the New Hampshire Veterans Home in Tilton. She loved and had great admiration for the veteran residents there. She was a warm, gentle and generous woman with endless love and compassion for others. Her greatest pleasure were her five grandchildren and the years she spent caring for Ella Guest when she was a young child. She devoted her life to others, asking nothing more than kindness for herself. She was a ray of “California sunshine” who touched the hearts of everyone she knew. She had a true appreciation for natural beauty and encouraged others to take the time to take a longer look at their surroundings and appreciate how beautiful nature is. She loved New Hampshire’s beauty.

She enjoyed traveling, especially her road trips to Sturgis South Dakota with her husband and friends.

She was looking forward to next year’s trip to Sturgis and retirement just eleven months away.

Patty’s only dislike were “mean people”. She had a strong dislike for any form of violence or abuse.

She would show a strong face when others mistreated her but later be reduced to tears.

Patty is survived by her husband, Michael, sons Tom, Mat, Ted Dawson and Tim Boudreau, her brothers; James and Timothy Wilson, nieces Robin, Bonnie, Terry-Lynn, Angela and Josie, her daughter-in-laws Jill, D’Ann and Elice. She was fortunate to spend the last two days of her life with five of her beloved grandchildren Zoe, Chance, Sierra, Kate and Madelyn.

She is pre-deceased by her oldest brother, Chris Wilson.

There will be a memorial service and celebration of her life at her home on Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 12 noon. All friends are welcome.

In lieu of flowers or donations to honor her memory, her family asks only that you be kind to others and do whatever you can to help the disabled and less fortunate. She devoted her entire life to her family and others. Our ray of “California sunshine” is gone but her legacy will live on in all our hearts.

Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family. For more information and to view an online memorial go to www. wilkinsonbeane.com.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Waterfront Sales Report Winnipesaukee waterfront sales took a little dive to cool off in July with only four transactions at an average price of $1.153-million. That’s down from the 10 sales last July at an average price of $1.223-million. For the year thus far, there have been 66 sales on Winnipesaukee at an average price of $936,634 compared to 51 sales for the first seven months of 2011 at an average of $1.162-million and 45 at an average of $1.211 million in 2010.

As of August 15, there were 389 properties available on the big lake including island properties.

With a total of 119 waterfront sales over the previous 12 months the current inventory level represents a 39-month supply of homes. Breaking it down a little further, the absorption rate for homes under a million is 29.5 months and a staggering 65.5 months if you are lucky (?) enough to have a home listed over the $1-million mark. Waterfront sellers should really look at these numbers as a real incentive to try and be the best value on the lake in order to attract a buyer sooner than much, much later.

The least expensive sale on Winnipesaukee was at 16 Rodgers Road in Alton. This property consists of a sixties vintage, 2,324-square-foot, 3-bedroom main home, and a guest cottage on a level .6-acre lot. It has 120-feet of shoreline located in a quiet cove with great views, sandy beach, a covered “U” shaped dock plus an additional dock for company.

This home was first listed back in May of 2009 at $795,000 and was on the market for a total of 844 days before finding a buyer at $672,000. The property is currently assessed for $688,300 by the town of Alton.

Over in Meredith at 26 Oak Island Road a very

charming home with that much sought after lake feel also found a buyer. This high quality home was built in 2000 and offers 2,481-square-feet of living space, three bedrooms, four baths, an open concept kitchen with custom cabinetry, hardwood and Berber flooring, lots of windows, a lower level walk out family room, gas fireplace, screened porch, and deck. Just really nicely done! The home sits on a .47-acre, well-landscaped lot with 147-feet of frontage, dock, and great lake views. This property was originally listed at $949,000, reduced to $899,000, and sold for $840,000 after 380 days on the market.

The home is currently assessed at $863,700. I am sure the new owner is ecstatic...

The largest sale of the month was a new home under construction at 66 Pipers Point in Alton. This home has 3,186-square-feet of living space, four bedrooms, four baths, and all the high end features one would expect in a new home on the lake. Unfortunately, there were no internal pictures of this fine home to get the feel of the place, but it is described as having a first floor master, two guest bedroom suites, a custom kitchen (of course), an open concept floor plan, a stone fireplace, a large screened porch, and waterside deck. The home sits on a .83-acre lot with 138-feet of shore front. This property was listed at $2.195-million and sold for $1.95-million after 77 days on the market. The tax assessment of $485,200 represents the cottage that was torn down to make way for this beautiful home.

The only sale on Winnisquam in July was at 438 Shore Drive in Laconia. This custom built, 3,700-square-foot, contemporary style home was built in 2000 and has four bedrooms, three baths, see next page

Once again, there were no sales on Squam Lake. Sad but true. It is also sad that many of the younger generation in the Lakes Region have never seen the classic movie “On Golden Pond” with Henry Fonda and

Katherine Hepburn. It would seem that watching this movie should be required by all schools in the area and by any flatlanders moving to the Lakes Region. There’s a lot more that can be learned in that movie than just finding out who Walter is...

Gilford Old Home Day 5K Road Race held on August 25 GILFORD — The 35th Annual Gilford Old Home Day 5K Road Race will be held on Saturday, August 25 at 8 a.m., and will be run on the same course as the last 34 years around Gilford Village.

The event used to be run by Piche’s Ski and Sport Shop and is now run by Gunstock Nordic Ski Association as a fundraiser and to keep the race going as part of Old Home Day tradition.

The race used to be held at 5 p.m. but last year switched to an 8 a.m. start, which is favored by runners according to the GNA, which got positive feedback from runners that 8 a.m. is better, which may also be attributed to the fact that last year there was a hurricane warning at 5 p.m. on Old Home Day. For more information or to register go to www. gunstocknordic.com or www.coolrunning.com Runners can register through either website or

Friday night at the Gilford Village Bandstand from 6:30-8 p.m. or at Gilford Elementary School from 6:30-7:30 a.m. Saturday.

There are also registration forms around town at Piches, the Gilford Village store, the Gilford Library, and the Laconia Athletic and Swim club Cost is $15 if online or by form before August 24.

Friday night or Saturday morning is $20.

The course is relatively flat with a hill neat the end. It was remeasured and recertified this spring so it is a sanctioned 5K. Awards are 1st place male /female: $50 Piches gift card; 2nd place $25,3rd place $15 There will also be age group category prizes: 12 and under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+ male/female see next page

from preceding page from Portland Maine, also Lou Porazzo, and Peter Heimlich and Cindy Duchin of Middle Ground.

Also people will hear from the ladies as well, Julia Velie and Natalie Hebden. To top the evening, The

Harley Lamas, a Sandwich based band, will entertain with the sounds ranging from rock & roll to eclectic contemporary alternative blues, funk, country rock and reggae.

Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund awards $1,000 grant to Ashland PD

MEREDITH — The Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund (MVSB Fund) is pleased to announce a $1,000 grant to the Town of Ashland Police Department for the purchase a highquality digital camera to facilitate investigations of violent and major crimes.

The police department has two basic digital cameras for everyday use, but for more challenging investigations, needed a more sophisticated camera. Prior to receiving the grant, police borrowed a more advanced digital camera from a neighboring police department as needed.

“Our new camera allows us to be much more flexible and prepared for any situation; we can take a photo in a dark room, capture a close-up photo of a serial number, or photograph an investigation from a distance,” said Ashland Police Chief Anthony Randall. “With MVSB’s support, we can better serve the people of Ashland without having to rely on other police

departments for assistance.”

With five full-time officers and two part-timers, the Ashland Police Department serves a year-round community of approximately 2,000 residents with a population increase to more than 2,300 in the summer.

The award to the Ashland Police Department is one of 32 grants totaling $78,762 awarded by the MVSB Fund in the most recent grant cycle.

The Fund makes grants every year to local non-profits that make a significant impact upon the lives of people in the communities MVSB serves.

Since its inception in 1997 under the leadership of John Starrett, then president and CEO of the Bank, 216 grants totaling more than $796,000 have been awarded to a wide range of environmental, social, educational, and historic projects throughout the Lakes Region and Plymouth area.

Applications for the next set of grants are due by October 15.

from preceding page Major sponsors are the Rice Law office, PLLC and Piches Ski and Sports Shop.

There is also a free kids fun run at 5 p.m. meeting in front of the Gilford Bandstand. 800 meters or approximately 1/4 mi out and back (1/2 mi total).

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis followed the plan today. You may be tempted to veer off, but get right back on track. Repeat the same action several times; a habit is being formed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll rely on word-of-mouth for your best information and will be unlikely to buy into anything without a personal referral. It’s an excellent policy now that will keep you from getting what you don’t need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your imagination is strong, and it fills the gaps in your knowledge with plausible answers. With intelligence, you’ll rule out some of what the imagination presents, and some of it you’ll investigate further.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will influence others with whatever small acts you can do for the environment. For instance, using your own water bottle or grocery bags could be part of the change the whole world needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even though you may change what you’re doing in order to harmonize with the dominant desires, fears and beliefs of the times, you never completely lose your unique “you-ness.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18).

Your body-mind connection will be strengthened in many ways throughout the year. You’ll enjoy being social, and the fun you create with friends will relieve stress and contribute positively to health. Celebrate love often, most notably in October and February. Longdistance travel invigorates business.

Libra and Gemini people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 7, 1, 24, 38 and 19.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Advertisers understand that when a message has multiple exposures, the response rate will increase. You’ll use this principle to your advantage, putting an idea out there several times until you get interest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t expect people to be on your side, but you’ll be pleased to find out who is.

They might not think of it as “your side,” but without a doubt, they share a similar point of view.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Nothing is haphazard in your world now. You put everything you have into what you’re doing. If that is not possible, you won’t take it on in the first place.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Seeing yourself as victorious is the first step in making it so. It gives you the focus you need to figure out the “how.” You may not get it right the first time, but hang on to the vision regardless.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Smart shoppers know that “special deals” are only truly “special” if they happen very infrequently. Using this principle, you’ll be careful not to overuse the special thing you have to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Avoid the one who makes mysterious promises. There is no magic formula to follow now. Logic prevails. Efforts that are correctly focused will lead to success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a point at which too much negotiating hurts a relationship. Out of respect and a need for simplicity, you may just go with what another person wants without making a counteroffer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be better off tomorrow because you

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 18, 2012

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Aug. 18, the 231st day of 2012. 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.

(However, the Roanoke colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.)

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 1862, Dakota Indians began an uprising in Minnesota (the revolt was crushed by U.S. forces some six weeks later).

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 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 1976, two U.S. Army officers were killed in Korea’s demilitarized zone as a group of North Korean soldiers wielding axes and metal pikes attacked U.S. and South Korean soldiers.

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

In 1987, American journalist Charles Glass escaped his kidnappers in Beirut after 62 days in captivity. (Glass had been abducted June 17 with two Lebanese who were released after a week.)

One year ago: President Barack Obama and European leaders demanded that Syrian President Bashar Assad resign, saying his brutal suppression of his people made him unfit to lead.

Vice President Joe Biden met with Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping in Beijing. A storm swept through a popular open-air music festival in Hasselt, Belgium, killing five people.

Today’s Birthdays: Former first lady Rosalynn Carter is 85. Academy Award-winning director Roman Polanski is 79. Olympic gold medal decathlete Rafer Johnson is 77. Actor-director Robert Redford is 76. Actor Christopher Jones is 71. Actor Henry G. Sanders is 70. Actor-comedian Martin Mull is 69. Actor Denis Leary is 55. Actress Madeleine Stowe is 54. ABC News reporter Bob Woodruff is 51. Bluegrass musician Jimmy Mattingly is 50. Actor Adam Storke is 50. Actor Craig Bierko is 48. Rock singer-musician Zac Maloy is 44. Rock singer and hip-hop artist Everlast is 43.

Actor Christian Slater is 43. Actor Edward Norton is 43. Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner is 42. Actress Kaitlin Olson is 37. Actor-writer-director Hadjii is 36. Rock musician Dirk Lance is 36. Actor-comedian Andy Samberg is 34. Actress Mika Boorem is 25. Actress Parker McKenna Posey is 17.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 18, 2012— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: What do you do with a sibling who has been enabled all of his life when Mom is no longer around to provide for him? My brother has had a house to live in, a car to drive, insurance, etc., for the past 25 years. He is an alcoholic and a drug user. He doesn’t work because he doesn’t want to.

He has an all-expenses-paid life.

When my mother dies, how do we settle the estate? If the house is given to my brother, he would lose it because he has no concept of paying bills. My sister thinks we should sell the place, give my brother his share and move on.

My mother is 82 years old and in poor health. She will be leaving us a huge mess when she passes, but she refuses to discuss it now. -- Help Me Plan Dear Help: Your mother doesn’t want to deal with this, so she’s hiding her head in the sand. And it’s difficult to make plans in advance if you don’t know whether your mother has a will that leaves the house to your brother, in which case, he is free to let it collapse into ruin.

You should consider all the possibilities, including how much responsibility you will take for your brother when the gravy train stops. Unless he gets help for his addictions, his behavior is unlikely to change. Are you comfortable throwing him out of the house? You can’t force your mother to settle these questions, although please urge her to see a lawyer.

Your best bet right now is to contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) in order to deal with your brother.

Dear Annie: My wedding is only four months away. The place where we are holding the reception is not very large.

I’m not a big fan of people bringing their kids to wedding receptions, especially little ones who run around tripping up the waitstaff and getting under the guests’ feet while they are trying to dance. This happened at a wedding I attended last month. Kids also were running around blowing out the

candles on the tables, screaming, crying and causing a fuss.

Ugh! Annie, is there any way to invite the parents and hint to leave the little ones at home? I mean, wouldn’t they rather have a good time than chase their kids all night? -- Patti in Oregon Dear Patti: Invitations are intended only for the addressees, which means if the kids’ names (or “and family”) aren’t included on the envelope, the kids are not invited. You also can pass the word to friends and relatives that this is an adultsonly event.

However, some people may not be able to attend if they can’t find a sitter. There will also be those who bring the kids regardless. If you anticipate that happening, we suggest hiring a babysitter or two to keep an eye on their behavior. Also, have things to occupy the younger set (paper and crayons, puzzles, games, art projects, etc.) and kid-friendly food for them to eat. If your reception hall has another room, you could set up the children’s area there and perhaps include videos to keep them occupied.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “New Jersey,” whose son’s girlfriend didn’t offer to help clean up after meals or show any indication that she had manners.

My son’s college-age girlfriend also had me worried. At first, I wondered how that girl had been raised and was concerned about our future relationship with her. However, we discovered that her manners are exceptional. It simply took some transition time while she changed from a guest in our home to a member of our family. We did put expectations on our son, however, to help out, as well. After all, he was already part of the family, and I’m sure that helped bring his girlfriend into the action and let her know how family members contribute. -- Less Worried Future Mother-in-Law

7th Annual Swim to Benefit Loons held August 3 on Squam Lake MOULTONBOROUGH — A team of eight swimmers swam the entire length of Squam Lake on August 3 to raise funds for loon conservation.

The 2012 Swim team included Wendy Van de Poll, Rose de Mars, Mark Longley, Celeste St. Pierre, Kit Kilbourn, Chip Broadhurst, Louise Utzinger and Rick Van de Poll. The swimmers were accompanied by spotters Gloria Hoag, Peg Longley and Susan Deme. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center donated a boat and captain, Dale Lary, to the cause.

The Swim is a fundraiser to benefit the Loon Preservation Committee’s Squam Lake Loon Initiative, an ongoing effort to increase monitoring, research, management and outreach on Squam Lake after a decline in the number of loon pairs over the last eight years.

Loons are having another difficult year on Squam. Four adults banded in previous years did not return to the lake this summer, fewer of the remaining birds nested, and fewer eggs hatched loon chicks—all problems that Squam’s loons have been dealing with in recent years of disturbingly low survival and nesting success.

The Squam Swim has become a much anticipated yearly event in the Lakes Region and has raised over $10,600 to date for Squam Lake loons. Funds raised through The Swim will allow LPC to extend its field season on the lake; test eggs from failed nests for contaminants; continue banding and monitoring the

health of Squam’s loons; expand its research into the causes of declines, including testing sediments and crayfish (loon food) for contaminants; educate lake users to encourage a culture of respect and appreciation for loons; and continue its intensive management to help loons cope with their challenges.

For more information on the Squam Lake Loon Initiative or to make a donation visit www.loon.org or call

the Loon Preservation Committee at 603-476-5666.

The Loon Preservation Committee monitors loons throughout the state as part of its mission to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons in New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the natural world.

PLYMOUTH — Lakes Region Community Services is holding its 2nd annual “Miles for Smiles” 5K fun walk/run on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 6 p.m., which will start and finish at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center, 8 Depot St. All are welcome to participate. Proceeds go to LRCS’ Dental Fund, which is used to help individuals with disabilities access dental care.

Last year’s first-ever Miles for Smiles event raised $4,000.

This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of several local sponsors. Major sponsors are: Dr. Thomas R. Finn – Beautiful Smiles, Northeast Delta Dental and the NH Dental Society Foundation,

Inc. Other sponsors supporting the event include: Troy Schrupp, DDS, Plymouth Family Practice Center, Community Guaranty Savings Bank, Dunstan Pediatric Services and Plymouth General Dentistry.

Raffle prizes include lift tickets for the Waterville Valley Resort , tickets for Gondola Sky Rides at the Loon Mountain Resort and a round of golf for two, including green fee and cart, at the Mojalaki Country Club. The raffle also includes gift certificates to many local establishments including Biederman’s, Dead River Company, the Lucky Dog Tavern and Grill, Off the Hanger, and Plymouth Ski and Sports.

The registration fee is $25 in advance and $30 the day of the race. First 75 participants to regis-

ter will receive a t-shirt. People can register online at active.com (search for Miles for Smiles 5K Walk Run in Plymouth, NH). Registration forms are available in downtown Plymouth at the Readery, 67 Main St. Registration forms may also be obtained at the LRCS Main Office, 719 North Main St., in downtown Laconia.

Completed registration forms with a check for the registration fee may be dropped off in either location or mailed to: LRCS, PO BOX 56 Plymouth NH 03264. For more information or to volunteer on the day of the event, contact Erin Pettengill at 996-3981 or erinp@lrcs.org
