City lawyer stands her ground; no resolution on how library trustees should be ‘elected’

tuesday

11-yearold girl’s body pulled from Conn.

River near her home; authorities label her death suspicious

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The issue of whether the trustees of the Laconia Public Library should be elected by the City Council, as they have been for the past 36 years, or by the registered voters, as the city attorney insists state law prescribes, becomes murkier with each attempt to resolve it.

Last night, the Government Operations Subcommittee of the City Council tackled the issue for the second time in as many weeks and after listening to city attorney Jae Whitelaw and attorney Paul Fitzgerald, representing the trustees, were left no closer to reaching a decision.

Whitelaw opened by recalling that the issue arose earlier this year when the trustees asked if the council could name alternates to the board. She said that the members of the firm turned to the state statutes and concluded that, contrary to past practice, the six trustees should be popularly elected, not chosen by the council. “That is our firm’s understanding of the law,” she declared, confessing “we weren’t really thrilled to come up with this problem.” see LIBRaRy page 12

Justice Dept. challenging tough new Alabama immigration law

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Obama administration is challenging a new Alabama immigration law that would let police detain people stopped for traffic offenses who are suspected of being in the country illegally, a law described as one of the toughest of its kind nationwide.

The Justice Department filed a complaint Monday in federal court in Birmingham stating that the Alabama law conflicts with federal law and undermines federal immigration priorities. The federal lawsuit argues that the state law also expands the opportunities for Alabama police to push immigrants toward incarceration for various new immigration crimes.

The Alabama law, set to take effect Sept. 1, also makes it a crime to knowingly give a ride or provide shelter to an illegal immigrant.

It also requires schools to report the immigration status of students.

Girl’s body found in river near her home STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — The body of an 11-year-old New Hampshire girl who disappeared almost a week ago was discovered Monday in a river less than half a mile from her home, and authorities said they considered her death suspicious.

Celina Cass was reported missing July 26. New Hampshire and Game divers found her body late Monday morning near a hydroelectric dam that spans the Connecticut River between her hometown of Stewartstown and Canaan, Vt., ending a massive search, Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said. It was recovered from the river Monday evening.

“We have brought Celina home, obviously not the way we wanted to bring her home,” said Young, her voice breaking with emotion.

Authorities had said that Celina, who

lived with her older sister, mother and stepfather a mile from the Canadian border, was last seen at her home computer around 9 p.m. on July 25 and was gone the next morning. Police said there was no sign of a struggle, and there was no indication she ran away or that someone took her.

Young declined to say whether there were any suspects in the girl’s death. “We have made no determination on where her body was eventually put in the river,” she said.

An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday to determine the cause and manner of death.

“Based on what we have seen visually, we are treating it as suspicious,” Young said.

According to several media outlets, Celina’s stepfather was taken to a hospital Monday morning. MSNBC reported that Wendell Noyes was taken by ambulance

after repeatedly laying down in the family’s driveway and rolling around, and video showed him dropping to his knees in the driveway and then laying facedown, with his head resting on his hands.

At the peak of the search for Celina, more than 100 federal, state and local law enforcement officers descended upon the town of 800 residents, searching a milewide area around her home, including woods and ponds.

Because of its remote location, law enforcement officers went so far as to have a cellphone tower erected to assist in communications.

Fliers featuring pictures of the girl with a gap-toothed smile had been put up throughout Stewartstown and neighborsee GIRL page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — Crisis legislation to yank the nation past the threat of a historic financial default sped through the House Monday night, breaking weeks of deadlock. The rare moment of cooperation turned celebratory when Rep. Gabrielle Giffords strode in for the first time since she was shot in the head nearly seven months ago.

The vote was 269-161, a scant day ahead of the deadline for action. But all eyes were on Giffords, who drew thunderous applause as she walked into the House

chamber unannounced and cast her vote in favor of the bill.

A final Senate sign-off for the measure is virtually assured on Tuesday. Aside from raising the debt limit, the bill would slice federal spending by at least $2.1 trillion, and perhaps much more.

“If the bill were presented to the president, he would sign it,” the White House said, an understatement of enormous proportions.

After months of fierce struggle, the House’s top Republican and Democratic

leaders swung behind the bill, ratifying a deal sealed Sunday night with a phone call from House Speaker John Boehner to President Barack Obama.

Many Republicans contended the bill still would cut too little from federal spending; many Democrats said much too much. Still, Republican lawmakers supported the compromise, 174-66, while Democrats split, 95-95 “The legislation will solve this debt crisis and help get the American people see HOUSE page 13

Franklin sues former cops FRANKLIN (AP) — The city of Franklin and a former police officer have filed dueling lawsuits.

The town sued to recoup the $10,000 it said it paid for training Bryan Croft.

Town attorneys say Croft signed a contract in which he agreed to work for the city for three years, but left after two.

Croft filed a countersuit in which he claims he was denied overtime pay and other compensation and was under duress when he signed the contract. He’s seeking more than $5,000 in back pay from his time with the department, from January 2009 to December 2010. Croft is currently a Concord police officer.

Paul Fitzgerald, Franklin’s attorney, tells The Concord Monitor (http://bit.ly/oYBGeJ) that Croft’s suit is an attempt to get the city to drop its suit filed in April.

Concerns about the economy end early Dow rally NEW YORK (AP) — Leave it to the economy to stop a debt-deal rally.

The Dow Jones industrial average started the day up nearly 140 points after President Barack Obama and congressional leaders said Sunday that a deal had been reached to raise the nation’s borrowing limit and avoid a possible debt default. The House of Representatives approved the bill Monday evening after the markets closed.

But another sign that the economy has slowed erased those early gains and took the Dow down as many as 145 points by midday.

The Dow ended the day with a loss of 10.75 points.

It was the seventh day of declines for the blue-chip index.

Many investors remained concerned about the direction of the economy. A report from the Institute of Supply Management said that U.S. manufacturing barely grew last month. And on Friday, the gov-

The Smarter CD More Choices. Less Complications.

ernment said that so far this year the economy has grown at its slowest pace since the recession ended in June 2009.

The manufacturing index was the first major economic report released in July. Analysts had expected it to show that the economy was expanding.

“This was a shock to the market,” said Phil Orlando, chief strategist at Federated Investors. “It clearly offset the emotional strength that we saw in the open from this tentative budget compromise.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and many economists have said that the U.S. economy would gain momentum in the second half of the year. But the manufacturing report, sluggish overall growth and concern about spending cuts included in the debt deal have cast doubt on that prediction.

The Dow fell 0.1 percent, to 12,132.49. The broader Standard and Poor’s 500 index lost 5.34, or 0.4 persee STOCKS page 13

Belknap Democrats speak of ‘buyers’ remorse’ over GOP ‘extremism’ & predict big gains in 2012

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — Outrage and anger over the course the country has taken in recent months, tinged with a sense of remorse and frustration over last fall’s stunning setbacks at the polls, both at the state and national levels, were the order of the day as Belknap County Democrats gathered Sunday at the home of former State Representative Liz Merry on Tower Hill Road, where Belknap County Democrats enjoyed their annual picnic.

Panelists picked to speak at August 9 Meredith forum on blue-green algae

MEREDITH — Community Development Director John Edgar this week announced the panelists who will speak at the public meeting on cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), which will be held at the Community Center on Tuesday, August 9, beginning at 5 p.m.

Jeff Schloss of Center for Freshwater Biology at the University of New Hampshire, who serves as coordinator of the Lakes Monitoring Program, will describe cyanobacteria from a scientific perspective, explaining the risks it poses to public health and water quality.

Jacquie Colburn, coordinator of the Lakes and Rivers Program at the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) will present information about identifying and

sampling cyanobacteria and explain the protocol the agency follows in posting warnings and advisories.

Rene Pelletier, assistant director of the Water Division at DES, will suggest how the general public and property owners can contribute to reducing the incidence of cyanobacteria blooms, with particular emphasis on the relationship between sewage disposal and water quality.

Finally Pat Tarpey, executive director of the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association, will address safeguarding the watershed by drawing the connection between land use and water quality.

The meeting is open to the public without charge.

LACONIA — A fire that destroyed a bathhouse at Ahern State Park on Friday afternoon is now considered to be accidental. The blaze was initially described as suspicious.

Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson first thought the fire to be suspicious because there was no apparent source of ignition to the unoccupied structure. Overhead electrical service and the meter had been removed. However, when workers from Public Service of New Hampshire came to cut

power to an adjacent sewer pump station building because its wires had been damaged by the fire, they discovered that there was underground electrical service providing power to the building.

An investigation by a representative of the State Fire Marshal’s office discovered that the underground wires had short-circuited, heat from which fused the wires together and ignited the building.

Cilley said that in order to combat the energy of right wing groups like the Free Staters and libertarians, Democrats will have to become more like those groups from the standpoint of becoming politically involved.

“Give them credit. They’re ‘all in’ and putting their money where there mouth is. What we can’t afford is for you to set on the sidelines until the next election,’’ she said, urging Democrats to challenge and confront distortions they see in letters to the editor and other political communications.

She said that Democrats also have to adopt a harder line when it comes to politics and stand their ground when confronted with irrationality.

“As far as I’m concerned there’s no

such thing as a compromise between sanity and insanity,’’ said Cilley, who says that the Democrats are the only hope the country has when it comes to reversing the 30-year trend which has seen the gap between the wealthy and the middle class and the poor grow ever wider.

Ray Buckley of Manchester, New Hampshire Democratic Party chairman, who told those attending the picnic that Democrats are headed for “a terrific year in 2012’’ due to voter dissatisfaction with extremism of the GOP majority in the state Legislature.

“What we’re seeing is a classic case of buyer’s remorse,’’ said Buckley.

He said the decline in civility and respect at the Statehouse is a sad sight. “The Republican Party that I grew up knowing and respecting is no longer there. It’s all hyper partisanship and no respect at all for anyone with a different point of view.’’

A day for the Hobbits Mocked by The Wall Street Journal and Sen. John McCain as the little people of J. R. Tolkien’s books, the Tea Party “Hobbits” are indeed returning to Middle Earth — to nail the coonskin to the wall. As even the Journal concedes, the final deal to raise the debt ceiling, worked out by Sen. Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama, backed by Speaker John Boehner, is “The Triumph of the Tea Party.”

The Hobbits demanded that the GOP do battle over the debt ceiling, that it not raise the ceiling without equal spending cuts, that the party accept no taxes. They got it all.

The deal cuts spending by $900-billion and raises the debt ceiling an equal amount. It mandates further cuts of $1.5-trillion, to be agreed on by Thanksgiving by a congressional commission of 12, and for those cuts to be voted up or down. If the commission fails to agree — seven votes are needed — cuts of $1.2-trillion must be made, half from defense. Any Medicare cuts are restricted to providers, not beneficiaries.

What did liberals get? Nothing.

What did Obama get? He demanded a “clean” debt-ceiling hike. When the GOP said no, he demanded a “balanced approach” — tax hikes commensurate with spending cuts. Again, the GOP said no. Again, he capitulated.

Obama was tossed one crumb in his appeal that he not be forced to fight the Tea Party again in his re-election year. Democrats surrendered on substance and yielded on policy for “peace in our time.”

Ronald Reagan demanded 18 increases in the debt ceiling in eight years, one every six months. He got them all. Obama asked for a twoyear truce and, in return, accepted what the head of the Black Caucus calls a “Satan sandwich.”

The mainstream media claim that Tea Party intransigence lost the GOP the propaganda war. But if the left believes that, why would they be afraid of a re-enactment of their victory in 2012?

Some in the Tea Party were willing to go over the cliff and take the federal government with them. But liberals have lost the stomach for such a fight. Listening to the cable blow-by-blow, have you noticed?

There are no liberals anymore. They have changed their name. They are all “progressives” now.

When the right was in ill repute in post-Goldwater days, never did it abandon its birth name, “conservatives.”

Yet, in celebrating, Republicans and the Tea Party true believers need to know: This country is not out of the woods. Far from it.

Standard & Poor’s has looked at the deal, less than $3-trillion in cuts over 10 years of budgets already

bumping up against $4-trillion a year, and concluded: The U.S. government has failed. An S&P downgrade of our triple-A bond rating may be at hand. And last week came news that, instead of the anticipated 1.8-percent growth in the second quarter of 2011, growth came in at 1.4-percent. More shocking, the first quarter’s 1.9-percent growth was revised downward to 0.4-percent.

Thus, in the first half of 2011, America grew at an annual rate of less than 1-percent — not enough to create the jobs needed for those entering the workforce, let alone for the 16-percent of workers now unemployed or underemployed.

This anemic January-to-July figure means that growth in fiscal year 2012, which begins in October, will be lower than projected, as will the tax revenues flowing into the Treasury.

Bottom line: Despite the debt-ceiling battle that convulsed this city, the final deal will achieve neither the deficit nor debt reduction we thought. Notwithstanding the Tea Party victory, we continue drifting toward the falls. And as that happy warrior of the political battlefield, Ron Paul, reminds us, we are inevitably going over — into default.

Only that default will not take the dramatic form of a U.S. refusal to redeem T-bills or halt interest payments on Treasury bonds. We Americans are not going the Argentine route.

Rather, we will, as we are doing today, slowly destroy the value of our dollar as an international medium of exchange. Unlike Greece, which cannot print euros to pay debts, we can print dollars to service ours.

Beijing will be made to accept dollars of a purchasing power far less than that of the dollars they lent to us. We are going to cheat them.

Already this year, the dollar has lost 30-percent of its value against the Swiss franc and plunged against the yen and Canadian dollar. And in The Wall Street Journal, Harvard economist Martin Feldstein celebrates the news that the dollar is slowly dying, for it means that U.S. exports are that much cheaper for foreigners to buy.

One wonders what men like Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower would think of a 21st century America whose elites rejoice in the news that the U.S. dollar is less valued and less respected in the world than in the America they fought to defend.

An even more pressing question that faces us, along with rest of the world, is, “What will be on your plate in the future?” Here in the U.S. we are accustomed to having all sorts of food available to us 24/7, 365 days a year.

Though there are Americans who are often or always hungry, or who don’t know where their next meal is coming from, we don’t have widespread famine or breadlines like other countries. Food insecurity probably doesn’t rank high on the list of things about which the average American is concerned. Given current trends, maybe it should.

Let’s consider N.H. The most generous estimate is that NH produces about 5-6-percent of the food needed for our current population. New England is the “food tailpipe” of the nation – nearly all the food we eat comes from somewhere else, much of it from distant parts of the country or from other countries. We are told that the average grocery store has three days supply of food in stock. That’s why the trucks are rolling up to the loading docks continuously. There are a few mega distribution centers, and food warehouses on wheels. If the transportation system is disrupted, our food supply line is disrupted.

Turning to the sources of our food, we see problems with drought, diminishing water supplies, crop failures, loss of topsoil, farmland turning to desert, herbicide-resistant weeds, pesticide-resistant insects, and depleted fisheries. All of these are occurring to some degree all over the world. Any one of these can contribute to food shortages and spikes in food prices, such as occurred about a year ago when the Russian wheat crop failed. As a result, bags of flour here in the U.S. doubled in price overnight. This is one of the downsides of the global food economy.

Our food supply is also highly dependent on fossil fuels. Someone once observed that we don’t eat food, we eat oil! Fossil fuels provide chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and fuel for farm

food processing, delivery, and refrigeration. We use fossil fuels to drive to the store to buy our food, refrigerate it, cook it, and dispose of the waste.

Again, there are vulnerabilities in the system – supply shortages and price spikes in the petroleum market lead to shortages and price spikes in the food sector.

There are those who suggest that the U.S. doesn’t need to produce its own food because we can just buy it from someone else. The reality is that there is increasing competition in the global market for the commodity crops. Crops grown in the U.S. could be bought by another country, leaving us with insufficient supplies and rising food prices. At times countries have cut off food exports due to crop shortages and concern about their ability to feed their own people. Increased dependence on other countries for our food means increased insecurity about our food supply.

In response to these concerns, more and more Americans are growing their own food, raising their own animals, and working to keep farmers on their farms. While we can’t expect to be 100-percent food self-sufficient, there are a number of things that can and should be done to increase our food security, and many of them are best implemented on the local level.

A group of us have been meeting about these issues and are planning an evening of community conversation, to discuss the challenges that face us and how we might respond. We invite anyone who shares our concerns to join us to help plan this event, which will be held at the Prescott Environmental Education Center on Friday, September 30. Our next planning meeting will be on Wednesday, August 3 at 6:30 at 129 Lane Road in Laconia.

For more information or directions, contact Karen at 528-8560 or barkers@alumni.unh.edu, or stop by the Full Basket Co-op booth between 3-7 p.m. at the Thursday Outdoor Market in downtown Laconia.

LETTERS Where did politicians get the power to create a Super Congress?

It matter little to weapons makers that our soldier die every week

To the editor, The donkeys and the elephants have reached an agreement ending the sad spectacle of America’s two political parties fighting like Jerry Springer guests over whether or not to pay our nation’s bills. The deal is expected to pass the Senate but still faces an uncertain future in the House. The deal will do a number of things, only a couple of which violate the spirit, if not the letter, of the Constitution.

The first thing the deal does is to cut spending by $917-billion over the next 10 years. Yawn. The proposed cuts of $91-billion/year are barely enough to cover the $75-billion a year in additional interest payments Americans will pay if they default. So the cuts do not reduce the level of debt. The cuts do not hold the level of spending to an amount that does not increase the debt. The point being; there really are no meaningful cuts. The deal actually only creates an expensive talking point.

The second thing the deal does is to create a Super Congress, made up of a dozen lawmakers, divided between donkeys and elephants, House and Senate. This Super Congress is tasked with writing a law proposing an additional $1.5-trillion in cuts in 2013.

That bill would then be presented to both chambers of Congress, with no opportunity to amend the bill in any way. The Senate would be barred from filibustering the bill.

If the Super Congress cannot reach agreement on these $1.5-trillion in cuts, there is a trigger for an automatic $1.2-trillion in cuts, split evenly between defense and non-defense spending. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are off limits. Seriously, where does the authority for this action come from?

This was a manufactured crisis designed to do one thing: scare the crap out of you. The point was to scare you into supporting things that are against your own political and eco-

To the editor, Let’s set the record straight about on-going reports of Al-Qaeda terrorists! The size and scope of this group of foot-soldiers has been exaggerated to the point of being ridiculous. There are, according to the experts, 50 to a 100 Al-Qaeda soldiers in Afghanistan.

Al-Qaeda has no tanks, artillery, or any heavy field equipment. We have 100,000 troops there spearheading the most powerful military force the world has ever known. Added to that, sophisticated surveillance devices that can determine the movement of troops, anywhere at any time, and probably how many mice exist, in any locality -and their whereabouts daily. To suggest that this small group of foot-soldiers poses a legitimate threat to our soldiers and our safety here, is to infer that we are deaf, dumb and blind.

It behoves the military-industrial complex to create false and misleading news releases to make this war relevant and necessary. Our presence in Afghanistan is like an elephant

nomic interests, and to allow for a change in the system to tilt the playing field. Do you really think this new process is in your best interest?

Really?

Our representatives are bringing us closer yet to the effective end of our democracy. We are no longer even represented by our representatives, as they are impotent to do anything other than sign off on this bill. That is a problem.

Did you notice that there are no tax increases in either the original round of deficit reduction or the Super Congress second round? Not a single tax increase. They didn’t even close any tax loopholes. Most economists tell us that, in order to balance the budget you have to do some combination of decreased spending AND increased taxes. What’s the rational conclusion?

The only conclusion is that the deal makers are not serious about balancing the budget, and perhaps never were. The debate never was seriously about changing the spending habits of the country. It was not about reducing or eliminating debt. If it was, tax increases would have been part of the deal. But they weren’t.

The Super Congress created concentrates the legislative power of all of Congress into the hands of just one dozen folks. Why isn’t this getting more play in the media? Congress is creating a mini-Congress to handle trillions in cash and cuts?

Why is it that no one has a problem with this? Isn’t there a constitutional responsibility being abdicated here?

Who exactly authorized creation of a super group of 12 to usurp the power of Congress? Did the czars approve of the creation of the super Congress?

Whose interests do you think will be represented in this Super Congress?

Where do we go to get a recount on the election of the representatives?

stepping on an ant — as simple as that. The war only continues because it is falsely presented and supported by industrialists who have a very strong lobby in Washington! It matters little to the weapons makers that our soldiers die there every week. The Republican party strongly supports the war and will not even consider an early draw down. Their uncompromising position is a well known political fact. I believe it is on the Republican agenda to keep the war going as long as possible. If this is not true, how do we explain away the absurdities we hear daily from the news media about the strength of the opposition.

Someday, we know, we will sit down with the Taliban and other insurgents to negotiate a settlement. That could be done immediately if the military decided not to kill every person in opposition. Please work to end this bloodshed and bring our troops home to their families and communities.

LETTERS Freedom is Biblical concept. And the right to gather & to choose leaders has same origin To the editor, With great interest I read Mr. Veverka’s letter on July 28 regarding the question of whether or not the United States was founded on the Christian religion. Mr. Veverka goes to great pains to quote to us the famed Article 11 of the Treaty with Tripoli, ratified unanimously by the United States Senate in 1797. This treaty, as ratified, states (as Mr. Veverka quoted) “As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility of Mussulmen (Muslims); and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mohametan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

This is the wording of the treaty as ratified by the U.S. Senate and signed by President Adams. Certainly, the federal government was not a Christian theocracy in 1797. I don’t believe that anyone has argued, then or now, that the United States was a Christian theocracy. But it is flimsy ground to base an argument solely on a single treaty, a treaty somewhat shrouded in mystery, that has confounded and baffled American historians. Mr. Veverka fails to mention that the original Treaty with Tripoli was written in Arabic. Article 11 as translated in English does not even appear anywhere in the original

Arabic treaty. The treaty itself was drafted by Joel Barlow, formerly a Connecticut Congregationalist chaplain during the American Revolution.

Mr. Veverka also finds it important to remind us that John Langdon, our first New Hampshire United States Senator, was among those who ratified this statement that the government of the United States of America is not founded on the Christian religion. What Mr. Veverka fails to point out is that at the time this treaty was adopted, and supported by Mr. Langdon, New Hampshire still had a taxpayer-supported state Christian church!

(In other words, at the time he voted on this treaty, some of the taxes Mr. Langdon was paying on his Portsmouth home were going for the propagation of the Christian Gospel in New Hampshire!) It should also be noted that Mr. Barlow, the author of this treaty, came from Connecticut, which also still had a state church; as did Massachusetts, the home state of President Adams, the President who signed this treaty. Perhaps the argument could be made that Adams, Barlow and Langdon rightfully acknowledged that Christianity was not federally recognized as the official, national religion; we have no record of Adams, Barlow or Langdon ever advocating the establishment of a federal church, but each of these men came from U.S. states where Christianity was the officially recognized religion of the land.

It is true that God is not mentioned in the federal Constitution. History, however, demonstrates that

the freedoms we cherish are the result of JudeoChristian values. Much is said of Thomas Paine and his involvement with the American Revolution. But the principles of freedom that inspired the founding fathers did not originate with Paine.

To many of the founding fathers, particularly those founding fathers from New England, the principles of freedom were first found in 2nd Samuel Chapter 5. Here we read of David being recognized as the King of Israel. He had already been recognized King

by Judah. But David had been anointed by God over twenty years before this time. He was anointed King, but Saul continued to reign over all of Israel.

It was not until the people recognized David as King that he actually governed. It can be argued that this passage of Scripture, among others, laid the groundwork for what we now consider the American way of the people electing their leaders to represent them.

In 1582, Pastor Robert Browne, one of the founding fathers of the Congregational Church, exiled from England for his religious and political views, published a little book on the life and manners of Christians.

In his book, Browne argued that people had the right to covenant together and form a church. He further declared that those gathered by covenant had the responsibility of confirming those men God had called to lead in the church. He further stipulated that what was good for the church was also good for the secular government. In order for a magistrate to govern, he argued, “there must be an agreement of the people or commonwealth.”

Browne, in his book, put forward three concepts uncommon for Elizabethan England.

The first concept was the significance and right of the individual. The second concept was that the individual had the right, when in agreement with other individuals, to covenant together to form a body. The third proposition was that this body should choose who would lead it. Naturally, these concepts were not warmly received nor encouraged by Queen Elizabeth in 1580s England! They were, however, the concepts brought to New England in the 1620s and 1630s.

We see these propositions put forward by Browne tested by the Pilgrim fathers. After adopting the Mayflower Compact, their own covenant, the Pilgrims, according to Governor Bradford, “chose or rather confirmed, Mr. John Carver, (a man godly and wellapproved amongst them) their Governor for that year.”

We see these propositions put forward by Browne further advocated and implemented by the Puritan settlers who followed the Pilgrims to America.

Thomas Hooker, the founder of Hartford, Connecticut, for example, preached a sermon in 1638, advocating for the people’s privilege to elect their own civil see next page

leaders.

Preachers throughout the evangelical pulpits of New England rang out with these sentiments. This, of course, would have direct impact upon the foundations of our own federal government. Indeed, an eighteenth century treatise advocating the self-governing principles of the New England churches would be widely circulated and extremely popular in the years immediately leading up to the American Revolution.

Another sixteenth-century theological and political treatise, “A Defense of Liberty Against Tyrants,” would have a particularly profound impact on John Adams. The author of that treatise, again invoking 2nd Samuel Chapter 5, declared, “Kings may always remember that it is from God, but by the people, and for the people’s sake that they do reign, and that in their glory they say not (as is their custom) they hold their kingdom only of God and their sword, but withal add that it was the people who first girt them with the sword.”

For certain, biased secular historians have certainly contributed to modern misconceptions of the foundations of American ideals. They are quick to give credit to Thomas Paine, and other atheistic writers, while completely ignoring the Judeo-Christian origins of liberty.

God, despite the personal faith of the founding fathers, is not mentioned in our Constitution. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut no longer have state churches. But be certain of this. We would not know the freedoms we know today had the Pilgrim fathers been the followers of Mohammed! Freedom is a Biblical concept. The right to gather and the right to choose and confirm our own leaders is a Biblical concept.

Adams, Jefferson, and any others Mr. Veverka feels the need to exhume may not have held to an orthodox

Christian statement of faith. For certain, not all the founding fathers were orthodox Christians. Mr. Veverka, however, errs grievously by ignoring the Christian milieu in which these men lived. The concept of a just war and revolution, of the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, of freedom — are concepts found in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

Mr. Veverka cannot artificially extract these people from their cultural context. Their understanding of the concepts of freedom, dignity, and morality was bequeathed to them by a culture and people so saturated with Christian thought and practice, that any of their personal apostasies on various points of doctrine may be interesting, but were ultimately of little effect. President Adams, in fact, declared that the U.S. Constitution “was made only for a moral and religious people.” Indeed, Adams, although personally a Unitarian, invoked the deity of Christ in proclamations, called for national days of fasting and prayer, and declared, “There is nothing upon this earth more sublime and affecting than the idea of a great nation all on their knees at once before their God, acknowledging their faults and imploring his blessing and protection.”

Adams, although by no means orthodox in his theology, was still heavily influenced by the New England preachers of his youth. Had he, or Jefferson, or any of the other founding fathers been Muslims or Hindus, (even apostate ones) we would not know the freedoms we presently enjoy.

Were it not for the Word of God, western society and culture would look a lot different today! Were it not for the Word of God, there would not be the United States of America as we know it!

BAMA from page 2 also would now be required to use a federal system called E-Verify to determine if new workers are in the country legally.

The Justice Department, in its filing, says a state cannot set its own immigration policy and cannot pass laws that conflict with federal immigration laws.

off to “weigh his options.”

To date and to the best of the Sun’s knowledge, the town has paid Vanderhoof $46,897 in salary for the time he was on leave.

In addition, Town Administrator Russell Bailey said last week the taxpayers have paid town attorney James Sessler $10,967 to handle part of the legal challenges while other attorneys and Municipal Resources Inc. — a private Meredith firm that does independent analyses of public agencies — have earned $53,025.

Police Chief Ryan Heath was unavailable for comment yesterday but has previously said the matter is a personnel issue and he is not at liberty to speak about it.

Following an verbal inquiry by The Daily Sun to the police department, an administrator said Lt. Richard Vanderhoof was back on active duty.

Vanderhoof, who has steadfastly refused to publicly comment on his situation, said in a e-mail he was back on duty, that his overtime issues with the town have been resolved and he again declined to comment further.

“People don’t tend to think it’s going to happen up here,” said Karen Ramsey of Lancaster, who has family in the area and helped pass out fliers. “It doesn’t just happen in the city.”

No one was more baffled by Celina’s disappearance than her friends and family, who described her as studious and reliable, shy and timid, not the type to run away from home.

“We’re all very devastated,” said Jeffry Pettit, whose daughter Kaylin was a friend of Celina’s, after word that the body had been found.

State police and FBI agents from as far away as New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia turned the local school into a bustling command post and searched a mile-wide area around Celina’s home.

In 2003, Noyes was involuntarily committed to New Hampshire Hospital in Concord after he entered his girlfriend’s house in the middle of the night and threatened to throw her down stairs, according to court documents. An order signed by a probate judge indicated Noyes suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and believed corrections officials implanted a transmitter in his body to keep track of him.

A court motion filed by his attorney at the time indicated Noyes served in Operation Desert Shield before receiving a medical discharge from the Air Force because of schizophrenia. The attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

A spokeswoman for Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital, in Colebrook, N.H., said she couldn’t comment on whether Noyes was taken to the hospital on Monday. from preceding page copal bishops says the new law “makes it a crime to follow God’s command to be Good Samaritans.”

Last month, a coalition of civil rights and immigrant rights groups also filed suit, seeking to bar the law from taking effect. U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn in Birmingham has scheduled a hearing for Aug. 24 on the request for her to stop it from being put in force Sept. 1.

The sponsor of the Alabama law, Republican state Rep. Micky Hammon, defended it Monday.

“The Obama administration and the federal bureaucrats have turned a blind eye toward the immigration issue and refuse to fulfill their constitutional duty to enforce laws already on the books.

Now, they want to block our efforts to secure Alabama’s borders and prevent our jobs and taxpayer dollars from disappearing into the abyss that illegal immigration causes,” Hammon said.

“Allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to run unchecked under the radar threatens our homeland security and insults those who come here legally,” he added.

Among its provisions, the new law requires the public schools to determine the immigration status of its students and whether they qualify for classes in English as a second language. Opponents contend that provision could have a chilling effect by — for instance — potentially discouraging parents in the U.S. illegally from enrolling children even if those youngsters are citizens. Officials counter that the state’s tough new immigration law won’t prohibit any child — illegal immigrant or not — from enrolling in Alabama’s public schools.

In a Department of Justice statement, Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said immigration enforcement is the job of the federal government.

The Justice Department’s complaint quoted Birmingham police chief A.C. Roper as saying the law would divert scarce resources from local policing priorities to immigration enforcement.

Last year, the department obtained a preliminary injunction against an Arizona immigration law.

Cecillia Wang, director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said she welcomes the lawsuit by the Justice Department and by the church groups. As one of the attorneys in the civil rights lawsuits, she said the various legal challenges highlight the problems with the law passed in June by Alabama’s Legislature.

Belmont told it needs $1.4M in sewer system upgrades

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Selectmen learned last night that the town sewer system needs about $1.43-million in upgrades — and about $850,000 that should be done relatively soon.

Keith Pratt of Underwood Engineering had been preparing an overview of the town’s sewer system and formally presented his findings to the board last night.

“The good news is that the village (infrastructure) is in good shape,” Pratt said.

The bad news, he continued, is that the highest rates of infiltration — water getting into the sewer system either from leaks, runoff, or groundwater — is the worst around Nancy Drive and other areas relatively close to Lake Winnisquam or Silver Lake.

The town began its evaluation in the wake of an extensive planned upgrade of the regional Winnipesaukee River Basin (sewer) Project, of which Belmont is a part.

Belmont has 19 miles of sewer system and 18-percent of it is private. The town owns all of the eight pumping stations — two of which were built in 2003 and six of which are about 30 years old.

While none of the selectmen seemed surprised or overwhelmed by the news, the decision thay all agree that faces them is whether or not to fix the system in a piecemeal fashion or authorize on bond issue and fix it within the year.

As it stands, Town Administrator Jeanne Beau-

din said there is about $220,000 in the capital fund, which only began a few years ago when selectmen took over the management sewer system.

Chair Jon Pike said he was leaning toward one bond issue, preferable 15 years and not 20 years, and the other two selectmen were in tacit agreement.

Either way, Beaudin said Belmont’s rates, at the current $36 per quarter, are some of the lowest in New Hampshire. She said if the town were to raise the rates to somewhere between $55 and $58 per quarter, Belmont would still be in the lowest 25-percent in the state and have sufficient income money to fix the system.

Beaudin told selectmen the town has applied for a chance at a low-interest government-backed bond and should Belmont qualify, the rate could be as low as 1.5-percent.

The problem, said Beaudin, is the current sewer rates are so low the town would suffer in the priority ratings.

Which ever way the town chooses to fix the problem, the board agreed it would be better to fix it on its own terms rather than have the federal government step in and force the town to fix it.

Beaudin said she would learn where Belmont stands in the low-interest priority standing before the next selectman’s meeting on August 15. With that knowledge, she said she would be in a better position to put some firm numbers before selectmen and ultimately before the town’s residents in the form of a public hearing.

Lahey wants to follow through on State School property; will run again

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — With a week until the filing period for candidates for the City Council opens on August 8 Matt Lahey, the incumbent in Ward 2, said yesterday that he will seek re-election.

Lahey is no stranger to the council chamber. He has served five terms as mayor, three from 1996 to 2002 and two from 2006 to 2010, and three as a councilor, two from 1992-1996 as well as his current term. In other words, he has been returned either as mayor or city councilor at eight of the past ten elections and, but for the years 2002-2006, served for 16 of the past 20 years.

Lahey said that he felt obliged to run again

because of his role in the effort to transfer the tract on North Main Street that once housed the the Laconia State School to the city. He chaired a commission convened by the Legislature to consider the redevelopment of the property and, earlier this year, when state lawmakers decided to sell the property, initiated an effort by the city to acquire it. “I have to see this through,” Lahey said, adding that he continues to discuss the project with state officials, including Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), a member of the committee.

Lahey said that the next step will be to hold a public meeting on the future of the site next month at a date and venue to be announced.

LIBRARY from page one The statute (RSA 202-A:8) reads simply “the trustees of a public library in a city shall be elected as provided in the city charter.” Whitelaw told the committee that in interpreting the law “you don’t look beyond the words in the statute” and that “election means election unless there is a further qualification.” Moreover, she noted that the statute bearing on vacancies (RSA 202-A:10), expressly refers to “publicly elected” trustees.

It provides that “a vacancy occurring among the publicly elected members of the board of library trustees of a city library shall be filled by the city council or other appropriate appointing authority. . . .”

“There is no ambiguity here,” Whitelaw concluded. “I don’t see how it can be reasonably be interpreted in another way.”

While contesting the council’s authority to elect the trustees, Whitelaw acknowledged that the law provides for the city charter to specify the number of trustees and length of their terms.

“If we are going to talk about common meanings,” Fitzgerald began, “I think we should use our common sense. If there is no ambiguity, why am I here?” He argued that the statute provided the city with more discretion than Whitelaw allowed. Furthermore, he suggested that the election of the trustees by the city council is justified by the doctrine of “administrative gloss,” which holds that where a law is ambiguous officials may interpret it in a consistent manner and apply it to similarly situated parties over a period of years. Finally he noted that with one exception, city councils elect library trustees in all the other cities in the state.

“This is absolutely and completely legal,” Fitzgerald said.

Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) remarked that state officials, includ-

ing the Attorney General, must certify that all proposed amendments to city charters comply with the constitution and general laws of the state.

He wondered if the charter, providing for the election of library trustees by the city council, was approved by the state. “I’d like to know what happened at day one,” he said.

Chapter 47-1 of the City Charter reads “the City Council shall annually at a regular City Council meeting in March elect two Trustees of the Laconia Public Library to serve for terms of three years.” This chapter was adopted by the city council as an ordinance in December, 1975.

Since Laconia has followed the practice of other cities, Lahey said “I find it hard to believe that everyone got it wrong.”

Whitelaw cautioned that the Attorney General may decline to offer an opinion and said that, as litigation over tax caps demonstrated, courts have ruled contrary to the opinion of the Attorney General.

Lahey replied that he was not seeking the Attorney General’s opinion, but instead was asking if the city charter, with the ordinance prescribing for the election of the library trustees by the city council, was approved by the state.

“I don’t want to be doing something wrong,” said Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6). “There are people out there just waiting to say. . . I just want to be right. I don’t want to be taken to court.”

Bolduc, who has had differences with Bob Selig, chairman of the board of library trustees, repeatedly said he had nothing against any members of the board. But, he ventured that a popular election, returning one trustee for each of the six wards, would be “more representative.”

Whitelaw agreed to learn what she could about whether the relevant chapter of the city charter was approved by state officials.

4 more burglaries in city but probably not related LACONIA — City police reported four burglaries over the weekend, but Chief Christopher Adams said they do not appear to be related to those committed by the bedtime burglar(s).

He said one of burglaries was at a seasonal home in the Weirs and was reported when the homeowners came to their summer home on Saturday and realized they had been burgled.

He said the second burglary reported was on Mile Hill Road but was a report of the alleged theft of some prescription medicine.

He said police are actively investigating both but do not believe they are related.

Two additional burglaries were reported on Primrose Drive which is in the industrial portion of the city.

Sgt. Dennis Ashley said the reports were from businesses not homes and he wasn’t familiar with the details of what was allegedly stolen, if anything.

While the bedtime burglar’s most recent strikes appear to be in Sanbornton, Adams is cautioning residents to continue their vigilance and keep their homes and automobiles locked, especially in the night.

He said if possible to keep yards and homes lit and to report any suspicious activity immediately to the police.

Anyone with any information should call the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

HOUSE from page 2 back to work,” Boehner said at a news conference a few hours before the vote.

The Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, was far less effusive. “I’m not happy with it, but I’m proud of some of the accomplishments in it. That’s why I’m voting for it.”

So, too, many of the first-term Republicans whose election in 2010 handed the GOP control of the House and set the federal government on a new, more conservative course.

“It’s about time that Congress come together and figure out a way to live within our means,” said one of them, Sean Duffy of Wisconsin. “This bill is going to start that process although it doesn’t go far enough.”

The measure would cut federal spending by at least $2.1 trillion over a decade — and possibly considerably more — and would not require tax increases. The U.S. debt limit would rise by at least $2.1 trillion, tiding the Treasury over through the 2012 elections.

Without legislation in place by the end of Tuesday, the Treasury would run out of cash needed to pay all its bills. Administration officials say a default would ensue that would severely damage the economy.

Beyond merely avoiding disaster, Obama and congressional leaders hoped their extraordinary accord would reassure investors at home and around the world, preserve the United States’ Aaa credit rating and begin to slow the growth in America’s soaring

debt. In a roller-coaster day on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average surged, then sank and finally finished down for a seventh straight session but only slightly.

After months of suspense, Monday night’s vote was anti-climactic, Not so the moment when Giffords’ presence became known.

She greeted some fellow lawmakers who crowded around her and blew kisses to others, beaming the whole while. Her hair was dark and close cropped and she wore glasses — nothing like the image America had of her six months ago when she was shot while greeting constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson.

She did not speak with reporters.

As for the legislation, after months of wrangling over a deal, there was little time left for lawmakers to decide how to vote.

The White House dispatched Vice President Joe Biden to the Capitol to lobby recalcitrant Democrats in both houses.

“They expressed all their frustration,” he conceded after a session with lawmakers of his party in the House.

He said the deal “has one overwhelming redeeming feature” — postponing the next debt limit battle until 2013 and putting the current fight behind. “We have to get this out of the way to get to the issue of growing the economy,” he said.

STOCKS from page 3 cent, to 1,286.94. The Nasdaq composite fell 11.77, or 0.4 percent, to 2,744.61.

The S&P index traded below its 200-day moving average of 1,280. Many traders use moving averages as benchmarks for when to buy and sell. Orlando said the S&P could fall to 1,250 or lower over the next few days as investors begin to doubt the strength of the economy.

Health care stocks fell nearly 2 percent, the most of the 10 company groups in the S&P 500 index.

United HealthGroup Inc., Aetna Inc., and St. Jude Medical Inc. fell more than 2.5 percent after the government said it plans to cut Medicare reimbursement rates 11 percent. The cuts are unrelated to the debt deal.

Bond yields fell to the lowest level of the year as investors moved into safer assets. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.75 percent from 2.80 percent late Friday.

The manufacturing report led to a worldwide pullback from riskier assets. The Euro Stoxx 50, an index that tracks blue chip companies in countries that use the euro, fell nearly 3 percent. Oil futures dropped 1 percent to just below $95 a barrel. And gold made up its early losses to remain near $1,625 an ounce.

The latest signs of weakness in the U.S. economy also pushed the dollar lower against the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc, two currencies that traders see as relatively safe bets. The dollar touched another record low against the franc, and reached a post-World War II low against the yen.

Lakes Region art community puts best work forward for annual show & sale

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Award-winning, selftaught watercolorist Elinor Lewis didn’t start painting until she was 71.But the Gilford senior citizen retirement community resident is making up for lost time.

She’s the featured artist at the 71st annual Lakes Region Art Association’s Art Show and Sale and 24 of her still life and landscape paintings will be on display throughout the week at Pitman’s Freight Room on New Salem Street, the show’s new venue.

At Sunday’s opening and awards reception her sepia-toned painting of her father fishing in the Pine River in Effingham won her a blue ribbon as the best watercolor.

“It’s from an old postcard of my father. I thought it would make a nice painting,’’ said Lewis, who says that she would have started painting much earlier in her life “if it hadn’t been for raising a family.’’

Paintings were judged Saturday by a panel of judges with the Best in the Show award going to Jeri Bothamley of Laconia for her oil painting “Meeting in the Shade’’ showing a group of ducks gathered beneath a large tree in a garden-like atmosphere.

She says the painting was inspired by a scene she saw while in Mendocino, California.

“I like to paint the things I see while

traveling and I like to paint outside,’’ said Bothamley, who recently took a trip to Poland with her husband and now has more subjects for her paintings.

She grew up in Michigan, was an art major at the University of Michigan and has moved quite frequently in her life. When she lived in Hartford, Conn., she specialized in interior design and murals before moving to the Lakes Region, She works in a studio and gallery on Canal Street, Paint Box Two, along with two other local artists, one of whom, Marcia Haughey, took a blue ribbon in the pastel category at the art show.

Maureen-Bieniarz-Pond of Laconia, president of the art association, won the Judges Award with her “Daisy with Purple’’ painting and was also named winner of the Beatrice MacLelland Memorial Award.

The Loran Percy award for best landscape painting was won by Tony Lancia of Gilford for his painting of the Bolduc Farm in Gilford.

The show will run through Saturday and those who view it can vote for their favorite painting in the People’s Choice category.

Show hours are 10-6 through Friday and 10-4 on Saturday.

Winners were: Best of Show, Jeri Bothamley, Laconia, “Meeting in the Shade’’; Loran Percy Award, Tony Lancia, Gilford. “Bolduc Farm’’;

Cabrera’s homer off Baird leads Indians past Red Sox BOSTON (AP) — Cleveland manager Manny Acta’s pregame lesson about Fenway Park’s quirky angles and dimensions certainly couldn’t cover what Asdrubal Cabrera’s homer did.

Cabrera’s second two-run homer of the game, originally ruled a single off the short wall in right field and overturned by replay review, broke an eighthinning tie and lifted the Indians to a 9-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.

“It might be the only park,” Cabrera said when asked if he thought his homer would have been out in any other ballpark.

Travis Hafner homered after Cabrera’s first of the game as the Indians won for just the third time in their last 11 games.

“It all starts with Asdrubal,” Acta said. “Asdrubal is the one that gets us going like he has all year.”

Cabrera’s homer came off reliever Daniel Bard (1-5) and halted his scoreless innings streak at 26 1-3, longest active in the majors. It was the first run he allowed after 25 scoreless appearances.

Acta held a brief team meeting before the game.

“We have a lot of kids that have never been here, a different ballpark, just for them to really take advantage of it with extra batting practice and all that,” he said. “Just let the guys know that this is fun, a couple of games out and two months to go. In a way I needed to let them know we’re still in it, but we needed to get back to what got us to where we’re at.”

After Jason Kipnis singled leading off the eighth, Cabrera hit a fly ball down the right field line that hooked around the Pesky Pole and caromed off what looked like the top of the wall to outfielder Josh Reddick. Replays appeared to show the ball hitting beyond the padding on the top of the approximately 5-foot wall and bouncing back into play off a female fan’s knee.

After a delay of a few minutes, the umpires came back onto the field and ruled it a home run and Cabrera finished his trot around the bases, making it 7-5. Matt LaPorta added an RBI double in the inning.

“I think they all knew about the Pesky Pole,” Acta said. “I heard them talking about it in the dugout.”

Bard was surprised that it was ruled a homer, lightly tossing the ball to the ground when the umpires came back.

“It looked like it hit off the top of the wall and came back in,” he said. “But I guess further review showed that it hit off a lady’s knee, so it looks like they got it right. It’s still tough to call.”

Rafael Perez (4-1) pitched one inning of scoreless relief for the win.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a broken-bat two-run homer and Carl Crawford had a solo homer, double and scored two runs for Boston, which was coming off a 20-6 record in July — it’s first 20-win month since May 2007.

The Indians started a seven-game road trip against division leaders. After four against the AL East-leading Red Sox, they are scheduled to play three in Texas against the West-leading Rangers this weekend.

After the Indians had grabbed a 5-3 lead in the sixth, Saltalamacchia hit his improbable two-run homer off starter Josh Tomlin in the bottom half.

With the end of his bat flying down the first-base line, the ball carried into the seats in right. Indians first baseman LaPorta appeared to be staring into the Red Sox dugout in disbelief as Saltalamacchia rounded the bases.

“I still knew how short it was in right field,” Tomlin said. “I was just hoping it was further down than it was.”

Saltalamacchia knew where it was going, thinking it had a good chance to make it into the stands in short right.

“I hit it on the good part of the bat. I didn’t even feel it off the bat and the bat kind of broke,” he said.

“Luckily we’re in Fenway and it hit the corner there and kept going.”

Trailing 3-2 in the sixth, Cleveland grabbed the lead on the consecutive homers by Cabrera and Hafner against starter John Lackey. Cabrera hit his into the deepest part of Fenway right field, a drive that carried into the first row of seats over a short wall for his 18th of the season after Kipnis doubled.

Hafner then belted his 10th into Boston’s bullpen.

Kitten recovering after being tossed from car in Dover

DOVER, N.H. (AP) — Officials at a Dover, N.H., animal shelter say a kitten that was thrown out of moving car is in critical condition but is making progress.

WMUR-TV reports that the kitten, now named Hank, was brought to the shelter by a woman who saw something being tossed from the window of a

car full of teenagers. The kitten’s face was bleeding, and it was underweight, dehydrated and suffering from an upper respiratory infection.

The shelter told WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/ nwWqRY) that the kitten is staying with a staff member while it recovers.

Credit Card Debt?

ADVERTORIAL

Solutions that can help you get out of debt.

Tom Hill CGA STAFF WRITER

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

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

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

Over 200,000 families, located throughout the U.S. have regained financial independence with CreditGUARD’s licensed, bonded and insured service. CreditGUARD of America has received high marks in consumer surveys showing high consumer satisfaction and confidence. The CreditGUARD debt management program can lower your monthly payments by hundreds and save you thousands!

One such case is Sandra L. who proclaimed “CreditGUARD cut my monthly payment by $656 and saved me over $29,206.53 in interest. They saved my way of life and gave me back my piece of mind! Now I can see myself on my way to becoming debt free.” or Jeffery C. who said “CreditGUARD of America helped me consolidate 3 of my credit cards into one affordable payment. They are now saving me nearly $200 a month. Now I will be debt free in 2 years or less” To calculate your monthly payment and interest savings visit us at: www.creditguard.org/np Certified Credit Counselors at CreditGUARD of America provide Debt Relief Consultations at no charge, when you call 1-888-483-6514.

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis and will be cared for as such.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The way you learn grace is to, from time to time, fall from it. Much depends on your ability to recover from the tips and tumbles that are a normal part of life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You won’t give in. But the person you’re negotiating with doesn’t realize this just yet, so he or she will continue to try to sway you with logic, emotional appeals and other temptations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will maintain the policy that your emotions are no one else’s concern.

You are so impressively self-contained now that you will earn the trust of people you don’t even know.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will give in on the small points and validate your loved one with your agreement, even when you’re not so sure he is right. Your selflessness, loyalty and support are commendable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Though a certain person sees you as attractive in every way, your standards for yourself are a bit more stringent.

You’ve set the bar high, and now you’ll work hard to keep it there.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 2). No matter what you do for a living, this year you will be in the business of making people happy. Your intuition is honed, and you’ll realize just what it takes to make people smile. This month, you’ll spend time with those you admire and make some memories. In September, you’ll sign an important contract. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 19, 31 and 11.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Those who are observant will notice straight away: You are different from who you were before. You would rather show your newfound confidence with action than talk about it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know yourself well. You require a degree of challenge in order to stay engaged and involved. Another person might get stressed out by the stimulus you find comforting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have nothing to prove. People react to you the way they do because of their deeply rooted attitudes and opinions that have very little, if anything, to do with you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll try new places, things and ideas. This keeps life fresh and exciting. You may spend more money than expected, but you won’t regret the expense. It’s the cost of a good life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Opposites don’t really attract as often as people say they do. However, reacting in an equal and opposite way to the one you love will build the relationship now.

When the other person pushes, you pull back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You value your friendships and expect them to take up an appropriate amount of space in your life. You have no need for overpowering relationships that upset the flow of normal life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe you don’t know what to expect, but that hasn’t stopped you before. Go forward.

You are a beloved child of the universe

(Legend holds that Hickok died holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights, now known in poker parlance as “the Dead Man’s Hand.”)

On this date: In 1610, during his fourth voyage to the Western Hemisphere, English explorer Henry Hudson sailed into what is now known as Hudson Bay. In 1776, members of the Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence.

In 1909, the original Lincoln “wheat” penny first went into circulation, replacing the “Indian Head” cent.

In 1921, a jury in Chicago acquitted several former members of the Chicago White Sox baseball team and two others of conspiring to defraud the public in the notorious “Black Sox” scandal.

In 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco.

In 1943, during World War II, Navy boat PT-109, commanded by Lt. John F. Kennedy, sank after being rammed by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri off the Solomon Islands.

In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate coverup. (Dean ended up serving four months.)

In 1985, 135 people were killed when a Delta Air Lines jetliner crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

One year ago: President Barack Obama, addressing the Disabled American Veterans in Atlanta, said the U.S. would leave Iraq “as promised and on schedule,” portraying the end of America’s combat role in the 7-year war as a personal promise kept.

Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., is 89. Actor Peter O’Toole is 79. Rock musician Garth Hudson (The Band) is 74. Movie director Wes Craven is 72. Singer Kathy Lennon (The Lennon Sisters) is 68. Actor Max Wright is 68. Actress Joanna Cassidy is 66. Actress Kathryn Harrold is 61. Actor Butch Patrick (“The Munsters”) is 58. Singer Mojo Nixon is 54.

Actress Victoria Jackson is 52. Actress Apollonia is 52. Actress Cynthia Stevenson is 49. Actress Mary-Louise Parker is 47. Rock musician John Stanier is 43. Writer-actordirector Kevin Smith is 41. Actor Sam Worthington is 35. Figure skater Michael Weiss is 35. Actor Edward Furlong is 34. Rock musician Devon Glenn is 31.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 2, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: A year ago, my 73-year-old sister, “Jenny,” married a man she barely knew. He had been married three times before, and she was aware that he had problems. Being a nurturing person, she thought she could help him.

They live off of his Social Security and my sister’s pension checks. They are now buying a house, and her husband has some medical expenses, so things are tight. In addition, Jenny cannot sleep with him because he has apnea and won’t do anything about it. He also has an anger problem and has yelled at Jenny a couple of times. He has a sexual addiction and has made passes at three people I know of, including Jenny’s granddaughter. We haven’t told Jenny about that, but her children are encouraging their mother to leave this man.

Jenny is diabetic and has some short-term memory loss.

We are concerned about her future. Her husband shows signs of wanting to isolate her from her family and friends. She told me she would like to get out of this marriage, but he has attempted suicide in the past, and she feels responsible for his safety.

Should we tell Jenny about his infidelities? We don’t really see much hope in his changing. -- Worried Sister in Memphis Dear Memphis: We doubt Jenny will believe your accusations or do anything about them. Instead, help her understand that she is not responsible for another person’s mental health, only her own. However, she may be unwilling to leave him, regardless of his faults, because she doesn’t want to be alone. Right now, the situation seems unpleasant, but not threatening. Jenny needs her family close by to keep an eye on things and intercede if the relationship deteriorates.

Dear Annie: I am a 16-year-old girl and a junior in high school. I get great grades and am athletic and friendly. I have a lot of guy friends. They are funny and relaxed and don’t

gossip as much as the girls.

The problem is, I am large-breasted, and a lot of the guys think that when I’m being nice, I’m somehow flirting. I don’t want to say, “I’m not interested in you,” because it sounds offensive. But I hate feeling I have to hang out with guys when I know their intentions, and I end up miserable waiting for them to make a move, knowing I’ll have to shut them down.

Lately, when a guy asks me to hang out with him, I claim to be busy. How do I make it obvious that I’m not interested?

I don’t flirt. I don’t wear low-cut shirts or draw attention to myself that way. What do I do? -- Lost for Words in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: High school is a testing ground for relationships, so consider this good practice. When guys are attracted to you, it helps to decide which ones are worth your time and how to gracefully extricate yourself from the others.

It is generally safer to hang out in groups of both males and females. If you don’t wish to spend time with a particular guy, it’s OK to say you are busy or, “Thanks, but no.” And it is not offensive to tell a persistent suitor that you just want to be friends -- please don’t be afraid to say so.

Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Alice’s Friend,” who said there are a lot of complainers in Alice’s senior residential community.

I live in a very nice home for independent and assisted living. I have been here eight years, and I have “friends” who have been here even longer. Two of them I avoid eating with because one complains and the other is so hard of hearing that conversation is tiresome.

If Alice sits at the same table every meal, she should ask to be moved. Better yet, she should ask management if she can sit anywhere she wants, which is the way it is here now.

-- Happy Senior
