8 tossed from Olympic Games for trying to lose

SHERWOOD, Ark. (AP) — A bull in the mood for love damaged an Arkansas sheriff’s patrol car when it tried to mount a man who was leading the animal across a yard.

Authorities said Wednesday that a Faulkner County sheriff’s deputy was responding to a call about a bull running loose when he saw the man slapping and trying to guide the bull.

The Log Cabin Democrat reports that as the patrol car drew near, the animal reared up and pinned the man against the vehicle. According to the deputy’s report, the bull then “tried to mate with him.”

The bull then lost interest and followed a truck down the road.

The patrol car sustained minor damage, though no injuries were reported. The bull’s owner says it was the animal’s first escape.

LONDON (AP) — Eight badminton players at the London Olympics were kicked out of competition Wednesday for trying to lose — a display that drew outrage from fans and organizers who said the women had violated the most sacred stage in sports.

It appeared to be the first mass disqualification in Olympic history.

After an unexpected loss by a powerful Chinese doubles team, the eight women appeared to play poorly on purpose to secure a more favorable position in the next phase of the event.

The feeble play was obvious to fans who attended the matches Tuesday night at Wembley Arena — they chanted, “Off! Off! Off!” — and to incredulous television broadcasters and viewers watching around the world.

“They’re serving fault and fault! They are just hitting the ball into the net!” the BBC’s David Mercer said in disbelief.

“They are both trying to lose, and that is unforgivable. This is the Olympic Games.”

The eight players included four from South Korea, two from China and two from Indonesia. They were disqualified from competition but allowed to stay at the games — a step lighter than expulsion, the penalty for positive drug tests.

None of the players was made available for interviews. But after the match one of them, Yu Yang of China, said they were only trying to save energy for the knockout rounds, starting Wednesday.

Besides dumping serves into the net, both teams made simple errors. The longest rally was only four strokes.

The scandal was the talk of the sixth day of the Olympics, overshadowing a long-awaited first gold medal for the home country, secured at last by a pair of British rowers at Windsor.

Though the most serious to date, it’s hardly been the only black eye.

On Monday, a South Korean fencer wept openly while judges took an hour to consider a disputed point, and on Tuesday, doping suspicions engulfed a teenage Chinese gold-medal swimmer.

For the most part, the blunders have been much smaller — unsightly empty seats on television, lost keys to Wembley Stadium, the South Korean flag flown instead of the North Korean at a soccer match.

U.S. defense chief asks Israel to be patient on Iran’s nuclear program JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, standing next to the U.S. defense chief, said Wednesday without qualification that international economic sanctions have had no effect on Iran’s nuclear program and suggested Israeli patience was wearing thin, a statement that amounted to an indictment of President Barack Obama’s policy toward the Islamic republic.

Netanyahu dismissed U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s assurances that the United States shared its goal of a nonnuclear Iran, saying the central features

of Washington’s strategy for stopping the Islamic republic’s nuclear ambitions — sanctions and diplomacy — were perilously close to failure.

Netanyahu did not explicitly threaten to attack Iran, but that was the unspoken implication of his assertion that all nonmilitary measures have proven ineffective in persuading Iran to change its course.

“Right now the Iranian regime believes that the international community does not have the will to stop its nuclear program,” Netanyahu said. “This must change, and it must change quickly because time to resolve

this issue peacefully is running out.”

His message was particularly striking, given that he delivered it beside Panetta, who spent two days in Israel offering reassurances that the two allies shared the same goals on Iran.

“I want to reassert again the position of the United States that with regards to Iran, we will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Period,” the Pentagon chief said. “We will not allow them to develop a nuclear weapon. And we will exert all options in the effort to ensure that that does not happen.”

Half of all U.S. counties now considered drought disaster areas ST. LOUIS (AP) — Nearly 220 counties in a dozen drought-stricken states were added Wednesday to the U.S. government’s list of natural disaster areas as the nation’s agriculture chief unveiled new help for frustrated, cash-strapped farmers and ranchers grappling with extreme dryness and heat.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s addition of the 218 counties means that more than half of all U.S. counties — 1,584 in 32 states — have been designated primary disaster areas this growing season, the vast majority of them mired in a drought that’s considered the worst in decades.

Counties in Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming were included in Wednesday’s announcement. The USDA uses the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor to help decide which counties to deem disaster areas, which makes farmers and ranchers eligible for federal aid, including low-interest emergency loans.

To help ease the burden on the nation’s farms, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Thursday opened up 3.8 million acres of conservation land for ranchers to use for haying and grazing. Under that conservation program, farmers have been paid to take land out of production to ward against erosion and create wildlife habitat.

“The assistance announced today will help U.S. livestock producers dealing with climbing feed prices, critical shortages of hay and deteriorating pasturelands,” Vilsack said.

Vilsack also said crop insurers have agreed to provide farmers facing cash-flow issues a penalty-free, 30-day grace period on premiums in 2012.

As of this week, nearly half of the nation’s corn crop was rated poor to very poor, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

About 37 percent of the U.S. soybeans were lumped into that category, while nearly three-quarters of U.S. cattle acreage is in drought-affected areas, the survey showed.

The potential financial fallout in the nation’s midsection appears to be intensifying. The latest weekly Mid-America Business Conditions Index, released Wednesday, showed that the ongoing drought and global economic turmoil is hurting business in nine Midwest and Plains states, boosting worries about the prospect of another recession, according to the report.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the index, said the drought will hurt farm income while the strengthening dollar hinders exports, meaning two of the most important positive factors in the region’s economy are being undermined.

The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

Thursday’s expansion of federal relief was welcomed in rain-starved states like Illinois, where the USDA’s addition of 66 counties leaves just four of the state’s 102 counties — Cook, DuPage, Kane and Will, all in the Chicago area — without the natural disaster classification.

The Illinois State Water Survey said the state has averaged just 12.6 inches from January to June 2012, the sixth-driest first half of a year on record.

Compounding matters is that Illinois has seen above-normal temperatures each month, with the statewide average of 52.8 degrees over the first six months logged as the warmest on record.

“While harvest has yet to begin, we already see that the drought has caused considerable crop damage,” Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn said. In his state, 71 percent of the corn crop and 56 percent of soybean acreage is considered poor or very poor.

In South Dakota, where roughly three-fifths of the state is in severe or extreme drought, Vilsack earlier had allowed emergency haying and grazing on about 500,000 conservation acres, but not on the roughly 445,000 acres designated as wetlands.

The author, playwright, politician and commentator whose vast and sharpened range of published works and public remarks were stamped by his immodest wit and unconventional wisdom, died Tuesday at age 86 in Los Angeles.

Vidal died at his home in the Hollywood Hills at about 6:45 p.m. of complications from pneumonia, his nephew Burr Steers said. Vidal had been living alone in the home and had been sick for “quite a while,” Steers said.

Vidal “meant everything to me when I was learn-

ing how to write and learning how to read,” Dave Eggers said at the 2009 National Book Awards ceremony, where he and Vidal received honorary citations. “His words, his intellect, his activism, his ability and willingness to always speak up and hold his government accountable, especially, has been so inspiring to me I can’t articulate it.”

Along with such contemporaries as Norman Mailer and Truman Capote, he was among the last generation of literary writers who were also genuine celebrities.

But Vidal made his living — a very good living — from challenging power, not holding it. He was wealthy and famous and committed to exposing a system often led by men he knew firsthand.

Romney’s not ready for prime time Last spring, when he was ever so carefully seeking the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney’s scripted, straight-from-the-briefingbook style made him a favorite of the comedians on “Saturday Night Live.” On the other hand, when he went off script — the Cadillacs and the NASCAR owners — it was even worse. That’s when Democrats were giving each other high-fives and thinking about the new drapes in the White House. Then the fight ended, and Romney proved his incredible efficiency in picking up cash, and the economic recovery didn’t feel like a recovery at all, and we started wringing our hands.

Now, Romney is on the road again, and his handlers must be wringing their hands and wishing he would stick to that script, after all, even if it’s an SNL joke.

Going abroad made perfect sense.

Massachusetts governors need to do something to prove they have credibility on foreign policy — and not to win points on the issue but to try to neutralize the negative in advance. Voters are certainly focused on the economy, but they’re not willing to risk international havoc for what might be a marginal improvement, if any.

Going to Israel made even more sense, given that Barack Obama hasn’t been there in his nearly four years as president, leading many to question whether his definition of “evenhandedness” (a term that got him into a lot of trouble in the campaign) is another way of saying he doesn’t share the strong commitment to Israel that many voters — and not only those in the Jewish community — do.

So it all made perfect sense — on paper.

And then Romney went off script.

In London, the former head of the Salt Lake City Olympics blurted out that maybe London hadn’t done enough to prepare for the Games.

That comment might make him look smart in the long run if something goes wrong (sort of like predicting a terrorist attack), but in the short run, it mightily angered our excellent allies, making him look pretty awful when it comes to diplomacy.

And then he ducked out before watching his wife’s horse compete, which led everyone to write at least as many stories about his ducking out as they would have about his attending with his attractive and popular wife.

Afterward, it was on to Israel, where he scored some points among voters back home by pledging his strong support of Israel and its right to take action against Iran.

Now, there were certainly many, including many in the Palestinian community and some in the diplomatic world, who might argue that doing so would not make it easier for him to negotiate peace in that troubled region. But that kind of argument doesn’t move the polls or open pocketbooks the way support for Israel does.

And then he did it again. Romney’s schedulers were smart enough to add a Sunday meeting with Salam Fayyad, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, during which the press got to see the two men make small talk about the London Olympics. (Ouch, but just a little ouch.)

And then he did it again. Clearly going off script, Romney reportedly told a group of heavy-hitting donors that the reason the Palestinians are so much worse off than the Israelis (but not as bad off as they really are) is cultural differences. “Culture makes all the difference,” he reportedly said. “As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel, which is about $21,000, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality.”

Sheesh. I am one of those strong supporters of the state of Israel who wishes Obama would at least make a quick stop. But even I know that first there are some pretty serious trade restrictions that contribute to the failing status of the Palestinian economy, and that the disparity is closer to 10 to 1 than 2 to 1.

Palestinian leaders are calling him a “racist.” But the real problem for him, back home at least, may not be accusations of racism, but the realization that this guy is just not ready for prime time, much less the presidency.

LETTERS Bob Lamb is Johnny-come-lately to Stop Northern Pass effort To the editor, If you remember the movie, “What About Bob”, the actor, Bill Murray, played Bob in many scenes filmed on Lake Winnipesaukee. Finally, Squam Lake has its own Bob, Bob Lamb of Holderness. The first time I met Bob was at a hearing in Concord concerning Senate Bill 361, a bill that was signed by Governor Lynch on June 15, 2012. SB-361 establishes a commission to study the under-grounding of transmission lines in New Hampshire State owned rights of way. Bob testified at the hearing and stated that for the record he is opposed to the Northern Pass Project. I thought to myself that it is better late than never to have a new face who is opposed to the Northern Pass Project.

A couple of weeks later I discovered that Bob is running against Senator Jeanie Forrester. HELLO BOB! Jeanie Forrester has been fighting for our rights for the past two years.

In the Senate, she engineered the bi-

partisan passage of House Bill 648, which ensures that our land will not be taken by Northern Pass or any other “private-for profit entity” utilizing eminent domain.

Bob, your actions during the past two years remind me of another Hollywood movie, “The Silence of the Lambs.”

I welcome you to the battle against the Northern Pass and any help you provide is appreciated, but why don’t you join us on the front-lines rather than trying to undermine Senator Jeanie Forrester.

Bob, there is one further point I would like to make; that is, while you continue to grouse about the minutia of the proposed debates scheduled with Senator Forrester, remember she is extremely busy, working tirelessly on behalf of her constituents.

Moreover Bob, from what I have read, Senator Forrester is looking forward to debating you on the issues.

I’ll try to take up some of the liberal opinion slack left by Leo To the editor, I was dismayed to read in today’s (August 1) Sun, page 4, that Leo Sandy is leaving the area and will no longer be stirring up your conservative readership with his liberal views appearing in print. Whenever the good professor declared his views it was inevitable that the next few issues of The Sun would carry the strong opposing views of the same predictable letter-writers.

I always enjoyed the strong pro-and-

cons provoked by Sandy. In order for it not to cease, I will join James Veverka as another liberal who submits leftist positions for the rightists to attack. The First Amendment is a wonderful thing, and The Sun certainly keeps it alive in your letters to the editor column.

Although I cannot be nearly as prolific as Sandy, I will attempt to keep the pot stirred so your readership does not lack for liberal views to contest.

Dewhirst had horrible attendance record when he was a rep To the editor, I was at City Hall today and was curious about who was running for the new House district. I had to smirk and chuckle a bit because I saw that once again, Glenn Dewhirst would like to “hold” the seat that he frequently was recorded as MIA during those short legislative sessions. It’s a disservice to the other electorates from Belknap County that he decided to run against Mr. Accornero.

Obama has a better voting record regarding his time in the Illinois state legislature than Mr. Dewhirst.

Obama at least showed up in his seat and voted “present” all day long. I will give Mr. Dewhirst credit for giving at least a yea or nay when he did vote. However, Mr. Dewhirst’s voting record throughout his held position (2001-2004) was more of “nv’s” which means no vote. . . because he wasn’t there. The record reflects that even if he committed to vote that legislative day he left other votes on the table by being recorded “absent”.

LETTERS Growing business is about hard work, sacrifice & sleepless nights To the editor, A couple of weeks ago the President of the United States (POTUS) forgot to take along his teleprompter (TOTUS) and stuck his foot squarely in his mouth when trying to make a point on how government is the solution to all of our problems. His comment, and I quote: “If you got a business you didn’t build that, someone else built it.” That smacked me right square in my face as surely as if he had spit on me. As a matter of fact that is what this president did. He spit in the face of everyone who ever had an idea and went out and did something about it. In 1982 I lost my job in Boston. Living in Derry, NH I was devastated. I had just lost my father a few months before from cancer and now I was without work and over 45, college educated and working in the food service industry.

What was I to do? How would I make the rent payments, the car payment, buy food for the table, etc.

I had a few dollars saved to get me by but that would not last long. My father had a small business he had done for a while before he died and my mother said I could have the few machines he had to sharpen tools in the small area behind the garage at her house in Meredith, NH. The thought that went through my head at the time was I had made money for the company I was working for so why couldn’t I do it for myself.

In September 1982 I went to St. Louis, MO and took a one week course at Foley Belsaw School of Sharpening. I had sharpened a lot of knives and garden tools and I got a real eye opener in one week at the possibilities of the number of items that every business needed to be sharpened. I was introduced to a few machines I would need and able to work with them briefly, but it was a short education. Especially since I had spent most of my life training in a different field.

The challenge for me was to find the customers and the tools to make my business survive. I had to look like a business so I created a menu of the items I would be able to sharpen and a list of prices. I did not get the answers from “Obama” or anyone but myself.

With the price list in hand and gas in the car, I went on the road looking for

customers to service.

I had my doubts at first on how I would survive because the first few customers did not amount to a great deal of money. I drove around for weeks carving out a territory and knocking on doors. When I got something to work on or sharpen I would come home and sharpen it so I could take it back quickly. I worked by myself picking up, delivering, sharpening, billing, packaging and servicing customers for a year before I had enough business to hire my next unpaid employee, my wife. She helped me go out and do the next step which was to get enough money to buy the equipment we needed to continue to grow the company. Sixteen to 18 hours a day, seven days a week with no help for more than two years before we could afford to hire our first employee.

Then we had to work even harder so we could keep us all busy and pay the employee (not us).

It took hard work, sacrifice and a lot of sleepless nights to grow our business and a great deal of investment in equipment, supplies and product to produce and sell. This is the story not of myself only, but of all those people who have decided they would take care of themselves without the aid of government, which takes more of the money out of our earnings than we can take for ourselves. They make regulation and rules that restrict your ability to grow and achieve. They make you pay for things you don’t need, don’t want, and then have the audacity to say if you own a business, you didn’t build it.

This is not what freedom is about.

This is not what dreams are made of. This is not how our country was founded. People have always done what I have done. People left their homes in far away places to come to America and pursue their dreams.

They did not ask for the government to give them anything except the freedom to make it on their own.

How far has this country fallen when we elect presidents who do not acknowledge greatness and individual achievements in a simple thing like hard work and sacrifice?

from preceding page I understand that people have other obligations, such as a business. However, one must cover their businesses when they commit to the N.H. Legislature. Voters show up to vote for a candidate. . . it’s only right that they expect the same for the candidate they assign to the seat. Harry Accornero has my vote. Harry’s record has been

solid for fiscal restraint and he’s only missed three days in two years! Harry deserves not only to be elected to the new seat, he’s earned it! For I expect he will continue to commit with the same work and voting ethic; but more importantly, he’ll be in the seat to vote.

LRCC hooks-up Hospital nurses heading back to school to get Bachelor degrees with Southern NH University to offer students seamless path to 4-year nursing degree

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The nursing program at Lakes Region Community College is expanding to meet the continued demand for more nurses at hospitals and other health-care facilities.

But besides enlarging the enrollment of its two-year Associate Degree in Nursing program, LRCC, together with the other six schools in the state Community College System, is launching a program this fall which will allow ADN graduates to move directly into a curriculum that will lead to a Bachelor’s degree in nursing.

The new program is being offered in collaboration with Southern New Hampshire University, Tom Goulette, vice president of academic affairs at LRCC, explains.

“This is a huge win-win for our students,” he said. “It is a tremendous opportunity to raise the level of nursing proficiency across the board.”

What Goulette calls the new two-plus-two program, the first of its kind in the state, addresses the push that registered nurses working in hospitals have a fouryear degree. “The call for nurses see LRCC next page

LACONIA — When LRGHealthcare recently told its employees that it had received a grant to provide financial assistance for registered nurses on staff who wanted to further their education, 48 RNs at Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Regional Hospital applied.

All of the 48 will get some funding supporting the tuition to earn a higher degree. Most are RNs who went through a two-year nursing degree program and who are now or soon will be taking courses to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing, according to Sally Minkow, director of Education Services for LRGHealthcare.

The move to go back to school is part of a growing trend that registered nurses working in hospitals hold bachelor’s degrees. While some hospitals in other parts of the country have started requiring their nurses to have fouryear degrees, and 18 states, including New York, are considering legislation mandating that nurses obtain a bachelor’s degree within a certain period of time or lose their license, there is no push for such a mandate here in New Hampshire, either by individual hospitals, nursing schools, or the state.

Still, hospitals in New Hampshire, including those in central part of the state, consider continuing education by their patient-care staff to be critical.

“We value our employees and work on their development regardless of their background,” said Minkow.

The $100,000 scholarship aid in which the 48 LRGH/FRH nurses will participate was provided through a U.S. Department of Labor Healthcare Workforce Training Grant. Elliot Hospital in Manchester and the Manchester Community College collaborated on applying for the grant which will help to fund various initiatives at LRGH and four other Granite State hospitals which comprise the Granite Healthcare Network.

The RNs who are benefiting from the financial aid in order to continue their education must complete the work for their degrees by the fall of 2015, Minkow explained.

Like Minkow, those involved in nursing school programs, see study beyond the basic level as essential in a profession that is evolving as rapidly as nursing.

“We graduate students with a high degree of skills, but we also promote lifelong learning,” said Anita Pavlidis, who heads the Nursing Department at the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord. NHTI, like the other six state community colleges, offers a two-year associate’s degree program which qualifies students to take the national licensing examination for registered nurses.

This year NHTI graduated 78 students from its RN program. All told, the Community College System graduated 308 from its RN programs in 2011, the most recent year for which a precise figure is available. But system spokesman Shannon Reid expects that the 2012 number (due out later this summer) will be about the same.

Currently there are 16,334 registered nurses licensed in New Hampshire and about half work in hospitals, according to Denise Nies, executive director at the state Board of Nursing. But only a little more than one-quarter hold a bachelor’s degree — 27-percent, according to Kris Hering, chief nursing officer at Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth.

Speare, like other hospitals, prefers that its registered nurses have a bachelor’s degree. The reason is research has shown that patients fare better when cared for by nurses with higher education levels. According to a 2003 study, for each 10-percent increase in the number of hospital nurses with bachelor’s degrees, death rates decrease 5-percent.

Hering and Minkow say a major advantage for RNs with a bachelor’s is that those nurses have broader knowledge. While the two-year programs focus largely on the technical nursing skills, four-year programs also expose students

to other aspects of nursing such as ethics, quality improvement, care management, community health, and basics of research.

These academic areas which deal more with theory than hands-on patient care help nurses to develop critical thinking skills which enable them to be more effective leaders.

“There are a lot more complexities in nursing today,” said Hering. “The days of nurses who mostly administer antibiotics and give bed baths is over.”

Today, as out-patient settings become more and more common for medical procedures including some surgery, patients who are admitted to hospitals are sicker and their stays are shorter.

This puts pressure on nurses and others directly involved in patient care to provide high caliber care, handle all the documentation, and ensure that when patients leave the hospital they will receive the necessary follow-up care, whether at home or in a convalescent or rehabilitation facility.

“Today’s nurse needs to be highly capable in technical, assessment and communications skills, and all must be in high gear,” Minkow observed.

That is why colleges and universities in the state which offer four-year degree nursing programs now offer a program specifically designed for working RNs who want to complete the course work in order to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing.

Plymouth State University just launched its RN to BSN program this spring. There are seven students enrolled in the program and Dr. Mary Bantell, the director of PSU’s nursing program expects that come fall there will be 25 in the class, either full- or part-time.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Institute of Medicine produced a report containing recommendations on what needs to happen to change nursing to meet looming challenges in health care. One of the major recommendations of the report was see NURSING next page

Belmont readying for August 6 construction start of village revitalization project

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — After a preconstruction meeting Tuesday, officials said yesterday that the village revitalization project is scheduled to begin August 6.

Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said Busby Construction will be the contractor and residents can expect to see construction equipment, a trailer and other signs of activity.

Initially, the company will cut down a few trees and place a temporary waterline on Main Street.

Beaudin said water chlorination is also scheduled to begin on the same date and the chlorination is to ensure water quality throughout the water line reconstruction. She said people may notice a slightly foul odor or some discoloration of the water but to be

assured the added chlorination poses no health risks.

On the same day, Mark Roberts of Leslie E. Roberts LLC will begin work on moving intact the historic village bandstand.

According to Selectman Ron Cormier, Roberts is going to build a temporary structure around the entire bandstand for support, transfer it to a flatbed, and relocate it. He said some trees will need to be cut first to allow Roberts access.

There will be a public information session for residents and businesses of the village district on Tuesday August 14 at 6 p.m. at the Corner Meeting House. Beaudin said a representative from Busby Construction and Hoyle Tanner Engineering will be on hand to answer questions.

School begins August 27 and town officials rec-

NURSING from preceding page 80-percent of RNs have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree by 2020.

Those involved in nursing, either at the hospital or education level, do not see an increase of that magnitude occurring in the Granite State. Bantell says a more realistic expectation would be that the percentage of RNs with bachelor’s degrees in this state might increase by 20- to 30-percent by the end of the decade.

The challenge to make RNs with bachelor’s degrees the norm is further compounded by the growing demand for registered nurses. The state Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau projects that there will be 17,055 registered nurses working in the state by 2020 — 22.2-percent more than there were in 2010.

That is why for all the push to have more nurses with four-year degrees the RNs with two-year associate’s degrees will continue to be an important part of the RN workforce in hospitals.

“The AS nursing program is not going anywhere,” said Dr. Paula Williams, dean of the Division of Nursing at Rivier University in Nashua.

Diane Allen, who is chief of nursing and vice president for operations at Concord Hospital, suggested one reason there is no push to require hospital RNs to have four-year degrees was because so many of the RNs now working in hospitals around the state decided to go into nursing because the two-year RN program made it feasible to juggle family and work responsibilities and still keep up with their studies.

“It would have been very difficult for them to pursue nursing without the (associate degree in nursing)

option,” she said.

And RNs with a two-year degree are regarded as solid members of the nursing profession. “I’ve worked with great ADN nurses and great BSN nurses,” said Nies, who became a registered nurse after earning a bachelor’s degree.

Another factor to keep in mind is that 97-percent of the associate’s degree RNs stay in the state. “They tend to be older students with ties in the state,” says Pavlitis. Whereas students coming out of four-year nursing programs are typically in their early 20s and single, and so are able to pursue what often are more lucrative career opportunities out of state.

Pavlitis credits hospitals for taking steps to encourage and support nurses who want to advance their education. In addition to tuition support, hospitals try to provide flexible schedules to so nurses can attend class.

The availability of on-line courses makes it even easier for nurses to fit their studies around their work and family obligations. Bantell noted that all the courses in PSU’s RN to BSN program are available on line. Bantell, who has a background in developing on-line courses, says on-line learning can actually result in more teacher-student interaction than would occur in a once-a-week, three-hour lecture. “You have 24-hour access (to the material), and students have more time to reflect on that material,” she said.

As the way medicine is practiced and health care is delivered continues to change, registered nurses who are on the front lines of the system must increase and deepen their knowledge and understanding, said Allen. “You are always going to need to learn and grow,” she said.

ommend parents who are taking their children to the Belmont Middle School use an alternative route such as Route 140 to Route 106 south, to Concord Street and then Memorial Drive.

Beaudin said any questions should be directed to her office at 267-8300 or by e-mail to jbeautin@belsee next page LRCC from preceding page to have four-year degrees the norm is sweeping the country,” Goulette noted.

Under the program, once students complete the studies for the two-year nursing degree, they will be eligible to take the national registered nursing licensing exam, and once they have their RN license they then can begin working as nurses and earn income while they continue their education, mostly through on-line SNHU courses, Goulette explained.

The new SNHU-Community College partnership is more than a transfer agreement. It contains a dual admission processes, shared curricula development, scholarships and financial aid, as well as shared advising and faculty. In addition to offering a way for nurses to earn a Bachelor’s degree, the program also offers a pathway to a Master’s degree.

Lakes Region Community College began offering the two-year registered nursing program about 10 years ago, Goulette said. This past spring 24 people graduated from the program. But when the next class enters in September there will be 32 students in the program, he said.

Goulette said that the nursing students typically range in age from their mid-20s to their 50s. Some are high school graduates. But he said that a good number already have Bachelor’s degrees in other fields and some even have Master’s degrees. “There are a lot of career converters,” he said.

Because of the intensity of the courses, about 95-percent of the nursing majors are full-time students. Most are women and most are from the Lakes Region.

They take their classroom courses at the college and then do their clinical work either at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia or Franklin Regional Hospital. They satisfy the clinical requirement in psychology at the New Hampshire State Hospital in Concord.

Goulette pointed out that LRGHealthcare has played a vital role in the nursing program at LRCC, both in helping to get the program up and running, and then providing a place for students to receive their clinical training.

LACONIA — Romeo Lacasse, who developed Nature’s View, a residential subdivision in Lakeport, has an option to purchase the property on Weirs Boulevard that houses the Christmas Island Resort, where he plans to build 18 condominium units.

According to the conceptual plan submitted to the Planning Department, apart from two cottages all the buildings on the 3.2-acre lot — the restaurant and motel — would be demolished to make way for 16 duplex units. The eight buildings would be strung along the 1,000 feet of waterfront, affording all the units a view of the lake. All units include a garage for one car and space for a second in the driveway while visitor parking would be provided along the access road behind the buildings.

The two cottages both facing the lake, one at the north end of the property and the other to the south, would remain. Each has two stories and nearly 4,000-square-feet of living space.

Impervious surfaces — roofs, roadways, parking spaces and footpaths — represented about a third of the site with the remainder consisting of green space.

Jon Rokeh of Rokeh Consulting, LLC, who is engineering the project, said that conceptual plans will presented to the Technical Review Committee this month in anticipation of undergoing a design review before the Planning Board in September. In light of the sensitive character of the waterfront property, he expected a number of technical issues, particularly drainage, would have to be resolved before preparing a fully engineered site plan.

BADMINTON from page 2 organizing committee, said the badminton scandal was “depressing.”

“Who wants to sit through something like that?” he said.

Condemnation came quickly from some of the other 10,500 athletes, even from those who said they understood the strategy behind the decision to try to lose.

Serena Williams, who blistered a Russian opponent at Wimbledon on Wednesday to reach the Olympic quarterfinals, said she understood trying to throw points in practice, “but never, never, never in competition.”

“This is definitely not within the Olympic spirit,” said Lin Dan of China, the defending Olympic men’s singles badminton champion.

A player on the Indonesian men’s badminton team, Taufik Hidayat, called it a “circus match.”

“I’m happy. I know I’m from Indonesia and the ladies’ doubles are from Indonesia, but it’s for the sport,” he said. “It’s not sporting.”

For the badminton players, the moral question was somewhat more

duced at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, but this is the first time it has included a round-robin format before win-or-go-home tournament play.

The chain of manipulation was set in motion when a team from Denmark unexpectedly beat the second-seeded team in the tournament, from China.

By all accounts, that match was decided fairly.

The loss put the Chinese team on course to face their compatriots, world doubles champions Wang Xiaoli and Yu, in the semifinals, not the finals, as expected.

Wang and Yu then set out to lose so they would go into the bottom half of the draw. They hardly exerted themselves — and neither did their opponents, the South Koreans, drawing jeers from the crowd and warnings from the umpire.

Wang and Yu ultimately proved better at losing.

Later, the other South Korean team tried to lose, this time to the Indonesians, to avoid meeting Wang and Yu in the quarterfinals. The Indonesians apparently had the same idea.

Delmon Young added a solo homer for Detroit, which won for just the second time in seven games.

Carl Crawford hit a solo homer for the Red Sox, who had a four-game winning streak halted.

Cody Ross, Will Middlebrooks and Pedro Ciriaco had RBI singles for Boston.

The Tigers finished 2-5 in Fenway Park and were 5-5 overall in the season series against the Red Sox. Rick Porcello (8-6) pitched 5 2-3 innings, giving up four runs on eight hits for the win. He was 0-2 with a 10.80 ERA in three career starts against Boston.

Colorado’s Aaron Cook (2-5) was hit hard for the second straight start, allowing six runs on nine hits, including two homers, in 4 2-3 innings.

Craig Breslow, acquired from Arizona in a non-waiver trade deadline deal, made his Red Sox debut, allowing a hit in 1 1-3 scoreless innings.

Octavio Dotel and Joaquin Benoit each worked a scoreless inning before Jose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth for his 21st save in 25 chances.

Detroit chased Cook and broke a 1-all game with the big fifth. Alex

Avila and Jhonny Peralta opened with singles and advanced on Ramon Santiago’s sacrifice. Austin Jackson followed with an RBI single and Quintin Berry had a run-scoring ground out.

Cabrera then hit a towering flyball completely out of Fenway over the Green Monster seats and Fielder hit a shot into first row of the center field bleachers, making it 6-1.

In the sixth, the Red Sox cut it to 6-4. Boston had loaded the bases with no outs, but Jarrod Saltalamacchia bounced into a double play that scored a run and Middlebrooks had an RBI single. Phil Coke relieved and allowed Ciriaco’s RBI single before he struck out Jacoby Ellsbury.

Crawford homered off Coke in the seventh, but Young homered in the eighth to restore Detroit’s two-run edge.

The Red Sox had jumped ahead 1-0 in the first when Ross had a two-out RBI single after Ellsbury doubled leading off.

The Tigers tied it in the fourth on Brennan Boesch’s RBI single on an eight-pitch at-bat. But Ellsbury saved a run with a running over the shoulder catch to end the inning, stumbling and falling forward into the side of Boston’s bullpen as he came to the ground. He went into the pen with his right shoulder, the same one that caused him to miss 79 games after he dislocated it in Boston’s home opener.

from preceding page Early in that match, all four players were warned by the umpire for not trying hard, and the umpire later produced black cards to disqualify both pairs, but the cards were rescinded on a promise of better play.

The Indonesians ultimately succeeded at losing, and the South Koreans fell into the playoff they did not want with the world champions.

By midday Wednesday, the Badminton World Federation, the governing body of the sport, had disqualified all eight players from competing at the games. The federation rejected an appeal from South Korea. Indonesia withdrew an appeal.

The eight are Wang and Yu of China; the four South Koreans, Jung Kyuneun, Kim Ha-na, Ha Jung-eun and Kim Min-jung; and Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii of Indonesia.

They were punished by the federation for “not using one’s best efforts to win a match” and “conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport.”

The president of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge, told The Associated Press that the IOC could take the additional step of expelling the athletes. It would mean stripping the players of their credentials and kicking them out of the athletes village. Rogge said he would wait to see what action the national Olympic committees would take.

The international federation took the right action in disqualifying the athletes and definitely that was the way to go,” Rogge said.

Craig Reedie, an IOC vice president

who is also the former head of the badminton federation, had a stronger response. He suggested the athletes had taken action that undermined sport itself.

“If you lose the competitive element, then the whole thing becomes a nonsense,” he told the AP. London organizers sold tickets to the Tuesday badminton events for 20 to 75 pounds, or $31 to $117. They said they had no plans to refund money to fans and had not received requests to do so.

“You get into all sorts of strange precedents if people aren’t satisfied with what they see,” said Paul Deighton, chief executive of the London Olympic organizing committee.

Lin, the Chinese singles badminton player, criticized the introduction of the round-robin format rather than a straight knockout tournament as the main cause of the problem.

“If you are in a group situation no one would want to meet strong competitors in the first few rounds,” Lin said. “It’s not their fault. Whoever set this rule should take this into consideration.”

In Olympic beach volleyball, the competition was changed after the 2000 Sydney Games from a double-elimination tournament to a round-robin format followed by a single-elimination tournament to minimize the potential for deceit.

“Players are happy, because they know nobody can manipulate or cheat,” said Angelo Squeo, events director for the sport’s governing federation. “I think not trying in badminton, the players should not be blamed.

It’s a system that has to be discussed.”

Writing camp for kids moves to Meredith next week

LACONIA — The National Writing Project in New Hampshire is host to two writing camps in the Lakes Region.

This week a group of youngsters from grades 3-5 are meeting at Woodland Heights Elementary School. Riley Towle, a third grader from Center Harbor, likes writing fantasy and mysteries.

Riley is currently writing a story about frogs.

Here’s an excerpt: “Once there was a frog. He was very energetic. He loved to read. The frog was in his tree house (reading of course)... The book sucked the frog in. The frog looked up. He saw the book closing.

He tried to jump out but it was already shut...”

Next week, the writing camp moves to Meredith at the Inter-Lakes Elementary School. There the camp for students entering grades 5-8 will write in the genre of their choice and with the assistance of staff, learn ways to revise and edit their writing.

Using technology, a final product choice of creating a movie or video game will showcase the students’ writing pieces.

Parents and guests are invited to share in the final presentation on Friday at 11 a.m.

Sandwich Players presenting ‘bromantic’ comedy at fairgrounds SANDWICH — Advice To The Players welcomes back Candace Clift as director of the early Shakespeare comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona, a tale of two bosom buddies in love with the same girl, complete with wise fools, sword fights, marauding bandits and a scene-stealing dog, which will open Friday, August 3 on the Sandwich Fair stage.

Clift, who resides in Florida and recently earned an MFA in acting from the University of Florida, has made Sandwich her summer home since 2006, acting and directing for Advice To The Players. In 2007 she earned the NH Theater Award’s ‘Best Actor’ for her role as Rosalind in ‘As You Like It.’ “I can’t think of a more conducive atmosphere for the revelry and drama of Shakespeare than the Fairgrounds Stage in Center Sandwich, “ says Clift. “It’s like the actors and audience are creating an Elizabethan world – right here in New Hampshire - racing around, rolling around in the grass, swords slashing, laughing hysterically.”

The mainstage production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona follows three weeks of rehearsal and youth camps: Clift directs the “Shakesperience” youth camp (age 13-18), whose participants often go on to become part of the main acting company.

She is joined by thespians Richard

and Marion Posner, whose “Snapdragon Shakesperience” kids (ages 8-12) work for two weeks on their own Shakespeare play, abridged but with the bard’s original colorful language.

“The students are a prime focus of the work we all do,” says Clift. “Students and professional actors share the work, the stage and the limelight.

They are mentored in all the theater skills, from acting to technical work.

This model of making theater is rare, and in its fourteen years Advice To The Players has inspired, encouraged and helped so many area teens.”

Clift should know. She has travelled extensively, studying abroad, touring Europe as Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire, and co-directing a Vietnamese language production of Romeo and Juliet in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. She has also studied and performed with Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona will be presented at 2 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 3, 4 & 5 and Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, August 9, 10, 11 & 12 at the Sandwich Fairgrounds Stage. There will be an evening performance on Tuesday, August 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Craft Building on the Sandwich Fairgrounds. For tickets or information go to www.AdviceToTheplayers.org, call 986-6253 or e-mail contact@AdviceToThePlayers.org.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s always smart to test out ideas in a small way before taking them to a large scale.

Today it’s more than smart; it’s imperative to keeping an organization or relationship on good terms.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You like the person who asks a question that makes you think, especially when the question is based on a keen observation about you. It means the person is paying close attention to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll predict what someone will do, and when that person behaves as expected, you’ll find comfort in it.

When a person behaves in a consistent manner, you start to feel you can trust that person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel there’s a change in you. However subtle the change may be, it will land you in a completely different place from where you would be if you had remained the same.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll stand for something. Your message is likely to spread far and wide. So before you tell a single soul, think for a while about what exactly you would like that message to be.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 2).

You’ll be a constant source of inspiration to your people this year. What’s your secret? You make sure to get the inspiration you need to stay creative. Next month features a financial exchange. Partnerships grow more beneficial in September. You’ll travel with friends in October. New talent emerges in March. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 25, 41 and 15.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your efficacy depends on having an open mind. Remain flexible and ready to adjust your expectations. When you let go of what you think will happen, what really does happen will wow you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Organizational experts will tell you that the best place to keep items you don’t use or love is out the window. It’s a fine day to lighten up by throwing or giving away meaningless possessions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Mental time travel will be a pleasing pastime.

Project yourself into a wondrous future.

The best part about this flight of fancy is that you return with an enhanced sense of purpose.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some problems you can ignore, and they simply go away. Today’s issues are not going anywhere, neither are they easily neglected. It’s best to deal with them now while they are still manageable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You quickly tire of passionless work. Let your heart lead the way, and you’ll accomplish much more. Your attention span will be remarkable when you love what you’re doing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Security and excitement usually don’t come in the same package, but you could find that rare combination all wrapped up in the arms of someone you know and love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your inner dialogue probably won’t match your outer experience now, as the world inside your head is particularly colorful, whimsical and attention grabbing. Go where you can express yourself freely.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 2, 2012— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Aug. 2, the 215th day of 2012. There are 151 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 2, 1862, the Ambulance Corps for the Army of the Potomac was created at the order of Maj. Gen. George McClellan during the Civil War. On this date: In 216 B.C., during the Second Punic War, Carthaginian forces led by Hannibal defeated the Roman army in the Battle of Cannae.

In 1776, members of the Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence.

In 1876, frontiersman “Wild Bill” Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged.

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

In 1922, Alexander Graham Bell, generally regarded as the inventor of the telephone, died in Nova Scotia, Canada, at age 75.

In 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco; Vice President Calvin Coolidge became president.

In 1934, German President Paul von Hindenburg died, paving the way for Adolf Hitler’s complete takeover.

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 1964, the destroyer USS Maddox suffered light damage from North Vietnamese patrol torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin.

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.

In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oil-rich emirate. (The Iraqis were later driven out in Operation Desert Storm.)

One year ago: The Senate passed, and President Barack Obama signed, legislation to avoid an unprecedented national default. New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira set a major league record when he homered from both sides of the plate for the 12th time in his career during a 6-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., is 90. Actor Peter O’Toole is 80. Rock musician Garth Hudson (The Band) is 75. Movie director Wes Craven is 73.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 54, and my girlfriend is 40. We’ve dated on and off for seven years. I love her, and I believe she loves me. The problem is, she is incredibly jealous and honestly believes every woman is attracted to me. Even if that were true, I don’t want “every” woman. My girlfriend is plenty of woman, and I want only her. But the jealousy drives me crazy.

I can’t go anywhere or do anything without her thinking another woman is involved.

Furthermore, she’s certain that I’m hot for my ex-wife. Annie, my ex-wife and I are great friends, but not to the point of reconciling. When my girlfriend has one of these jealous fits, she’s snide, snippy and just plain evil. We’re lucky if we can have three straight days of bliss.

Somehow she believes getting married will make things better. I think marriage would be a huge mistake considering our track record. We seem to be tearing our relationship to pieces. Please help. -- Going in Circles in the Circle City Dear Circle: Is your girlfriend willing to get therapy and work on her out-of-control jealousy and insecurity? If not, you will continue to have conflict, whether married or not.

Relationships require trust and mutual respect, and yours doesn’t have either. We aren’t sure what you find so lovable about someone who becomes snide, snippy and evil every three days. Only you can decide whether she’s worth the effort.

Dear Annie: Several years ago, my brother and his wife moved several states away. When they visit, they stay with us because we have plenty of space. They always offer to pay for groceries and help with meals, so it’s a pleasure to have them. Their three children are now young adults. I am willing to accommodate them because it makes my parents happy.

But these kids are not nearly as gracious as their parents. They seem to think I run a hotel and will provide three meals a

day.

The last visit, my nephew came with his 7-year-old son.

When the boy wanted a snack, I told him to ask his father to fix him something. He replied, “Daddy is taking a nap and told me you would have food.” When I suggested to my nephew that he go to the store and get something, he simply said “no.”

Last month, my brother came with his other son and daughter-in-law. After several exhausting days, I suggested we all chip in for a pizza. When it arrived, my brother paid me, but my nephew just took his share and walked into the living room.

Now my niece and her husband are coming for a week’s visit. She said she’d be happy to cook a meal. Annie, there will be 21 meals. I know I’m being taken advantage of, but I don’t want to cause hurt feelings. -- Auntie’s Bed and Breakfast Dear Auntie: You need to set some house rules. Stop preparing three meals a day. Have cereal, yogurt and other food available, and tell them to help themselves. Suggest they go out for dinner -- without you. If you stop being their cook, they will find other ways to eat. You also could tell your brother that his children need to be better guests or they won’t be welcome anywhere.

Dear Annie: Thank you for your response to “Clueless on Cancer Etiquette.” I hope all my concerned friends read it.

My wife and I discuss what will eventually happen, and she lovingly helps me through those times when my mood shifts during the chemo treatments. For two years, I have learned what women go through with hot flashes. They are horrible. I am developing my “bucket list,” but still trying to defy the odds. I am a youthful 81-year-old with many friends -- and you are now one of them. Thanks for your thoughtfulness. -- A Traveler on the Final Journey
