LACONIA — Yesterday morning, like every other Monday morning this summer and last, the Congregational Church basement was a hub of activity, a headquarters for a small army of volunteers inspired by the idea that, as part of

Got Lunch! Laconia, they could do something about hunger in the city.

August 20 marked the final weekly delivery for year two of the program, founded last year by resident John Walker and Assistant Pastor Paul Gile with help from the church and Lakes Region Better Together. Got Lunch! was

a solution to a problem that Walker identified after reading that as many as twothirds of the city’s school children come from homes poor enough that they qualify for free or reduced price lunches. Walker wondered how those families were feeding their children through the summer, when see GOT LUNCH! page 10

NEW YORK (AP) — The home of the Masters now has green jackets for women.

In a historic change at one of the world’s most exclusive golf clubs, Augusta National invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first female members since the club was founded in 1932.

“This is a joyous occasion,” chairman Billy Payne said Monday.

For some, it was a long time coming.

Martha Burk and her women’s advocacy group first challenged the club 10 years ago over its all-male membership. The debate returned this year when IBM, one of the top corporate sponsors of the Masters, appointed Virginia Rometty as see RICE page 12

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rep. Todd Akin fought to salvage his Senate campaign Monday, even as members of his own party turned against him and a key source of campaign funding was cut off in outrage over the Missouri congressman’s comments that women are able to prevent pregnancies in cases of “legitimate rape.”

Akin made no public appearances but went on former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s national radio show to apologize. He vowed to continue his bid for higher office.

“The good people of Missouri nominated me, and I’m not a quitter,” Akin said. “To quote my old friend John Paul Jones, I have not yet begun to fight.”

But Akin seemed to be losing political support by the hour as fellow Republicans urged him to abandon a race the party had long considered essential in their bid to regain control of the Senate. Incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill is seen as vulnerable in public opinion polls and because she has been a close ally of President Barack Obama.

An official with the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee said the group’s head, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, called Akin on Monday to tell him that the committee had withdrawn $5 million in advertising planned for the Missouri race.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the con-

versation was private.

At least one outside group that has pounded McCaskill with ads, the Karl Rove-backed Crossroads organization, also pulled its ads from Missouri.

Publicly, Cornyn called Akin’s comments “indefensible” and suggested he take 24 hours to consider “what is best for him, his family, the Republican Party and the values that he cares about and has fought for.”

The Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said Akin’s remarks about rape may “prevent him from effectively representing” the Republican Party.

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple is Wall Street’s all-time MVP —that’s Most Valuable Property.

On Monday, Apple’s surging stock propelled the company’s value to $624 billion, the world’s highest, ever. It beat the record for market capitalization set by Microsoft Corp. in the heady days of the Internet boom.

After a four-month dip, Apple’s stock has hit new highs recently because of optimism around what is believed to be the impending launch of the iPhone 5, and possibly a smaller, cheaper iPad. Apple Inc. has been the world’s most

valuable company since the end of last year. It’s now worth 54 percent more than No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp.

Apple’s stock closed at $665.15. That was an all-time high, up $17.04, or 2.6 percent, from Friday’s close.

Microsoft’s 1999 peak was $620.58 billion, according to Standard & Poor’s.

The comparison to Microsoft does not take inflation into account. In inflationadjusted dollars, the software giant was worth about $850 billion on Dec. 30, 1999.

Microsoft is now worth $257 billion.

Analysts believe Apple’s stock has room

to grow. The average price target of 38 analysts polled by FactSet is $745.80.

Despite the surge, Apple’s stock is not particularly expensive compared to its earnings for the last twelve months. The company’s “price-to-earnings ratio” is 15.6, compared to 16.1 for the S&P 500 overall.

That suggests investors, unlike analysts, don’t believe the company can grow its profits much from current levels.

Microsoft had a price-to-earnings ratio of 83 at the 1999 peak. The stock was caught up in the Internet mania of the time and see APPLE page 11

Forest Society set out to raise $2.5M to stymie Northern Pass

CONCORD (AP) — A conservation group working to block a 180-mile electrical project from Canada into southern New Hampshire announced Monday it is seeking to raise $2.5 million to pay for conservation easements on nearly 1,900 acres to disrupt the project.

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests said it has negotiated agreements to buy the easements with landowners in Coos County and must raise the money by Oct. 31.

Northern Pass Transmission would build, own and operate transmission lines while leasing them to Hydro-Quebec to transmit 1,200 megawatts of electricity into the New England Power pool. The project would run from Pittsburg to Deerfield with 140 miles on existing right-of-way and 40 miles through scenic sections of the state’s North Country.

“Northern Pass’s intended route through Coos County would scar some of New Hampshire’s most scenic forested and agricultural landscape with unsightly towers and power lines,” Society President Jane Difley said Monday, noting that 30 towns have voted to oppose the project. Conserving the 1,900 acres would be another step toward compelling the project to look at other alternatives, she said.

The Society “has used this project as a convenient fund-raising tool. We see today’s announcement as more of the same,” said Northern Pass spokesman Martin Murray. “They’ve tried and failed to stop the project. We will continue to work with willing landowners because New Hampshire and the region need the clean energy, hundreds of jobs and many economic benefits it will deliver to residents for decades to come.”

But project critics say other states like Connecticut would benefit from the cheap hydropower, and that the additional power is not vital to New Hampshire.

A new state law prohibits public utilities from using eminent domain for projects not directly related to New Hampshire power needs. Northern Pass says it already owns the right of way up to the north of Grafton and it’s attempting to purchase land or easements for the rest of the way. It faces stringent opposition from many North Country residents.

Northern Pass had looked to buy 5,800 acres surrounding the Balsams Grand Hotel in Dixville Notch for as much as $3 million. Instead, the Niel Tillotston Trust, which controls the parcel, accepted the Society’s $850,000 offer for 7,700 acres as a way to keep Northern Pass out.

be discussed at an upcoming public hearing.

The campground south of Route 49 comprises national forest land in the towns of Thornton and Campton. The area received extensive damage from Tropical Storm Irene last August.

Forest officials have decided to convert the area from an overnight campground to a day-use only site. They have several plans in mind for the design to include picnicking, recreational use, and walking and nature trails.

Officials are seeking the public’s input at a hear-

prone to flooding for years. Rain associated with a hurricane flooded the site in 1938. The area was struck again in 1959.

Last year, right before Irene hit, people were evacuated from the 15-site campground before 2 to 3 feet of water covered a portion of it. Damage was done to paved roads, tables, restrooms, and water system.

Officials estimated the cost of bringing the area to a full-service campground would be in excess of $350,000 and would run the risk of being damaged again.

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — A man is recovering from a car fire in Loudon, N.H., after an off-duty firefighter and neighbors rushed to the scene to save him.

Rich Edgecomb heard what sounded like a tree hitting the house on Sunday. The car had crashed and caught on fire, and the driver was trapped inside.

The off-duty firefighter told WMUR-TV he found a fire extinguisher in the back of the car and put out the fire before focusing on the driver.

He said it took 45 minutes to cut him out of the car.

Investigators said the driver was conscious and talking. He was taken to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. His name and condition have not been released.

SJOGREN’S SYNDROME If you know what Sjogren’s syndrome is, you probably work in the healthcare professions or you might just be ready for a try-out on Jeopardy. More likely, you either have this disease or know someone who has it. Sjogren’s is an autoimmune disease in which the white blood cells attack moisture-producing glands.

One of the hallmark symptoms is dry mouth, although dry mouth can certainly result from other disorders and can even be caused by side effects from certain medications. Many problems are associated with a lack of sufficient saliva in your mouth. Saliva makes it possible to chew and swallow and helps to digest our food.

It also prevents infection by controlling bacteria in the mouth, thereby protecting our teeth from decay. Although we don’t think about it, lack of saliva causes difficulty speaking. About 4 million Americans suffer from Sjogren’s syndrome and 9 out of 10 are women. Other symptoms may include a sore or cracked tongue, a change in taste or smell, and dry, gritty or burning sensation in the eyes. Currently, there is no cure for Sjogren’s syndrome, but sipping water throughout the day and especially during meals may be beneficial. Avoid alcohol and tobacco (they dry out the mouth), use a humidifier during sleep, and use sugarless products (gum, lozenges) containing a sweetener called Xylitol.

Remember to tell your dentist or physician if you have dry mouth so he/she can make the proper diagnosis and suggest treatment.

MEREDITH —With the state unlikely to address the rapidly deteriorating condition of Meredith Neck Road and Barnard Ridge Road, both unnumbered state roads, the Board of Selectmen last night agreed to consider the suggestion of Town Manager Phil Warren to take matters into its own hands.

A year ago, when the selectmen first raised the issue with officials of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT), Nancy Mayville, municipal highway engineer, told them flatly “we use whatever the Legislature gives us for our budget.

Unnumbered state roads are at the low end of our priority list and will get the short end of the stick.”

Despite making representations to the DOT since, including a tour of the roads and a plea by State Senator Jeanie Forrester, Warren told the board “it is clear the state is not going to move on this.”

He suggested the selectmen ask Forrester, together with the town’s representatives in the House, to file legislation directing the DOT to reconstruct the roads. Otherwise he said the board should consider borrowing the funds to rebuild the roads and taking ownership of them when the work was complete.

Warren estimated the cost of the project at $7.5-million. “Finding $7.5-million in the state highway budget would be a struggle,” he said.

Last year Mayville told the board that unnumbered roads qualified for a program by which the state contributes two-thirds and the municipality one-third toward the cost of reconstruction. But, the budget for the program is only $1.7-million. Moreover, once unnumbered state roads are reconstructed they are transferred from the state to municipalities. Warren said that the state has no money and even if it did the town would have to match it and take ownership of the roads.

“It’s not our financial burden,” said selectman Peter Brothers. “I’d have nightmares about $7.5-million and we’d being taking over every state road, numbered and unnumbered around with no help from the state. We just don’t have the resources.”

Returning to his earlier suggestions Warren said “I don’t see any other solution at this point.” He stressed that both roads required reconstruction, including reclaiming and resurfacing the roadway as well as improving the ditching and drainage, which would cost approximately $1-million per mile.

He said that the DOT described both the roads as “peripheral to the state highway system,” especially Meredith Neck Road, which dead ends. Insisting that Meredith Neck Road not only connects directly

to the state system but also serves most of the islands in town, he declared “we shouldn’t be punished because it dead ends in Meredith.”

“I never say never,” said selectman Nate Torr.

“Maybe this would be a good discussion for the political candidates.

Selectman Herb Vadney, who is a Republican candidate for one of the four House seats elected in Meredith and Gilford, recommended the board schedule a workshop to discuss the issue, to which legislators would be invited.

The selectmen were asked if they would consider asking lawmakers to increase the gasoline tax, the major source of funding for the DOT, which has lost much of its purchasing power since it was last increased two decades ago. Vadney said he would contemplate an increase if he were assured the funds would be applied to roads and bridges and Brothers agreed raising the gas tax would be “acceptable.”

NOTES: Selectman Carla Horne, the liaison to the Waukewan Watershed Advisory Committee, said the committee is in the process of revising an ordinance to regulate septic systems around the lake and intends to make a presentation to the Board of Selectmen on September 17. It will be the third time the committee has submitted the proposal to the board. . . . . . Fire Chief Ken Jones advised the selectmen against contributing to the cost of a fireboat for the Belmont Fire Department, which would respond to emergencies on Lake Winnisquam. He said that his department would be better served by a boat that could be easily transported to Lake Waukewan, Lake Wicwas and Pemigewasset Lake, where a Manchester woman drowned last weekend. Although the department has use of a jet-ski, he said that it does not offer a stable platform from which emergency personnel can work. . . . . . John Edgar, director of community development, and Mark Billings, chairman of the Conservation Commission, briefed the selectmen on the purchase of a conservation easement on 8.1 acres with 1,480 feet of frontage on the Snake River known as the Elizabeth Clingan Baird property. Together with the easement on the Sperar property, consisting of 8.5 acres with 2,600 feet of riverfront, virtually the entire western riverbank will be protected. The east bank, which lies in Center Harbor, has been designated a prime wetland. The $130,000 budget for the project is funded by a $100,000 grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Resources, supplemented by the New Hampton Conservation Commission and Waukewan Shore Owners Association. The Meredith Conservation Commission is considering applying $10,000 toward a stewardship endowment to monitor and enforce the easement.

Parks Commission agrees trust funds can be spent on improving Leavitt Park House

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Parks and Recreation Commission last night heard from Kevin Dunleavy, director of Recreation and Facilities, that precedent exists for allowing the Leavitt Park Association to use funds from the Leavitt Park Trust for a $10,000 floor replacement at the Leavitt Park House.

Commissioners said that they now need a a written request from the Leavitt Park Association in order to move the process forward. ‘’We need to have things in writing. That gives us something we can have in our records so that we don’t run into a confusing situation like this again,’’ said Commissioner George Hawkins Jr. Commissioners said they were surprised at their July meeting when members of the Leavitt Park Association showed up at the meeting and asked why they weren’t able to use money from the trust fund for the project.

Relying on past precedent, the association intended to draw from the trust fund to fund the project. But, Dunleavy said at the July meeting that when he had checked on the procedure for park house improvements he had found a memo on the Leavitt Park Trust which said “income to be used for park projects only. No money on the buildings, only on playground projects.”

Commissioners then asked Dunleavy to do more research on the issue and bring the results back to them at last night’s meeting.

He said that further research had shown that there was precedent, as longtime Leavitt Park Association member Bob Fortier has maintained, for the use of the trust fund for park improvements. Fortier says the the trust fund was used in 1969 to build a 30 foot by 30 foot addition to the clubhouse, as well as to build a storage building and also for

the installation of a boiler.

Commissioners said they were hampered in their ability to act on the proposal until they understood what procedure should be followed.

The Leavitt Park Trust, which was established in 1909, is administered by city’s Trustees of Trust Funds and they have interpreted the will to stipulate that only the income, not the principal, can be spent on the park.

At the close of the fiscal year on June 30, the balance of the fund was $187,986, of which $160,441 was non-expendable principal and $27,545 was income.

Dunleavy’s research showed that in 1985 the commission agreed that the trust fund could be used for “buildings and grounds.”

In 2001, in response to a question from a commissioner who asked if the association could request money from the trust fund, Phil Rowley, the then director of Parks and Recreation, replied that “in the past, all requests to the Trustees of Trust Fund were made by the Parks and Recreation Commission. The association would make their requests to the commission and the commission would make the request to the trustees.”

That was the procedure commissioners chose to follow last night as Commission Chairman Jeff Pattison asked the Leavitt Park Association to submit a request, ‘’with some specificity’’ on the scope of the project and to also include bids they have already received on the project.

He said that the commission could then make a decision and pass the request on to the Trustees of Trust Funds.

Dunleavy said that he would would check with the city’s purchasing director to see what procedure should be followed with respect to seeking bids for the project and who would have the final say on awarding the contract.

Bob Meade

Taking the career out of politics A friend, who is very civic minded, posed the question, how do we get the political extremes to work together for the common good.

Not an easy question to answer.

Our founders believed that citizens would do their civic duty by running for office, serving, and would then return to their homes and businesses. They did not look at politics as a career, but as a public duty. That’s the crux of the political extremes problem.

There are two things that have contributed greatly to the polarization we have today. First, is the on-going usurpation of power by the federal government, essentially ignoring the tenth amendment.

Those actions have created a huge federal bureaucracy and there is little, if any, effective oversight or control of it by the elected politicians. The second problem is with the “tenure” afforded to the representative and senators. The Seventeenth Amendment upset the Constitutional applecart when it provided for direct election of the senators. That, more than anything else, ushered in a tenure like environment that is contrary to the intent of the founders.

Part of the federal usurpation of state powers is evidenced by the creation of an increasing number of agencies, such as Social Security, Medicare, Education, Energy, and so on. This has resulted in huge bureaucracies that have failed to meet their intended missions and objectives . . . and, no one in elected government seems to be willing or able to confront the failures or to disband those that are ineffective.

We keep throwing money at broken systems that are not meeting the needs of the people. For example, since 1977 we have poured billions of dollars into “federal” education (education is one of those things constitutionally left to the states), only to see our costs go out of sight (only Switzerland spends more per pupil than the United States, and then only by a few hundred dollars). Class sizes have been reduced by about 50-percent, but graduation rates are dismal (70-percent nationwide, 50-percent in urban areas). The current administration wants to make even greater “investments” in education. Simply throwing more money at it isn’t the answer. Finding and fixing the problems that have us placed as low as 27th in world rankings should be our objective.

Another department is Energy, which was started by President Carter for the expressed purpose of reducing our “dependency” on foreign oil. It hasn’t met it’s mission but, as with Education, we have thrown billions of dollars at the ever growing bureaucracy

and haven’t insisted on getting the desired results.

Medicare? A noble thought by President Johnson but, by its own accounting, Medicare says it has $36-trillion in un-funded liabilities.

Just consider that “Obamacare” is essentially going to grow government involvement in health care exponentially, and there is simply no way to deal with the increasing costs. Bright young people who would otherwise become doctors, are going to elect to choose other professions and the already existing doctor shortage is going to get significantly worse. Rationing is predictable.

Social Security is a budding nightmare as, since President Johnson decided to use surplus Social Security funds to pay for his Great Society, for close to 50 years, we have been using the program’s surplus funds and have been putting IOU’s into the proverbial “lock box”. Now, we have 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day, and that will continue for the next 19 years. To redeem those IOU’s, the government has to sell other government securities (at ever higher interest rates), kicking the can down the road to our children and grandchildren. We can’t get around the basic problem that the program was started when there were16 workers paying in for every one collecting a benefit. We’re now slightly under three to one and dropping. It wont be long before there will be less than two workers paying in for every one collecting a benefit. Are we doing anything about it? Nope — it’s the political third rail and our career politicians don’t want to touch it.

These are the more obvious problems, there are many more that stem from the federal usurpation of state’s rights. Until we are willing to impose independent management on these issues, the problems won’t get fixed. Here is a thumbnail on what is needed: 1. Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, and establish term limits for Representatives in the House. We, the people, must refuse to accept politics as a career.

2. Independent Internal Auditing — Hire the best and brightest outside firms, to do in-depth internal audits of every cabinet branch — the burgeoning bureaucracy. Determine if they have met or are on their way to meeting their intended missions and goals. Do a cost/benefit analysis to determine if they should be retained or scrapped. This would be real oversight and would lead to elevating the standards for all departments. If there is a recommendation to close down a department, make sure it’s “the worst first”.

LETTERS You believe Dems don’t know who they’ll vote for in Senate 2?

To the editor, To debate or not to debate — that still seems to be the big question in the N.H. political scene, especially concerning Senatorial District 2 candidates Jeanie Forrester and Bob Lamb! Really? With all that’s going on in N.H. and the country, the “debate” issue continues to be the big question?

“We need debates,” the Bob Lamb supporters say, “so that we can be informed!” Does anyone seriously believe that these outspoken, letterwriting Dems haven’t decided for whom they will vote? In my opinion, after listening to many political debates, and organizing a recent Meet the Candidates’ Night in Meredith, even with the best of intentions, those types of events are flawed from beginning to end.

This business of looking up information on a website also contains problems, particularly for the people who don’t have computers, can’t afford the Internet, or have questions not covered by the candidates on their websites.

Because there are certainly people who really haven’t decided where to cast their votes, I would like the protocol whining to stop, and a discussion of issues affecting N.H. residents to start — so here’s a thought. What if the newspapers that cover each town, ask their residents for questions identifying concerns? The top 20 questions could be

given to local candidates, with their specific, detailed answers printed in groups of five as a column in the newspapers.

A small photo of each candidate would also be nice for recognition.

Maybe the newspaper folks can have a “Question of the Day” contest for any candidate within their district, and try to fit this format into an article, or the candidates might be able to arrange something like this before the election? It would save a lot of time, and give plenty of fodder to all of those “cut and paste” letter writers; but most importantly, written voters’ answers would allow us all have to the same information for comparison.

Oh, and just one more thing — word is all over Meredith of a recent Democrat event in which a skit was performed and recorded by the local Dems with the sole purpose of belittling incumbent N.H. Senator Jeanie Forrester. Quite a different tone from the outcries of “Bully!”, “I’m a Victim!”, and “Where is the Civility?” comments, letters, and nasty anonymous notes by these same vocal people when one of their own incumbents was challenged by facts of her school board tenure before the recent March elections! Gee, what is the definition of a hypocrite?

Mitt Romney simply cannot be trusted to ‘save’ Medicare To the editor, Mitt Romney has accused President Obama of “robbing” $716-billion from Medicare to fund the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This is misleading at best.

The truth is that the ACA strengthens Medicare, not weakens it.

Here are the facts: First, the ACA does not reduce Medicare benefits. The $716-billion Romney refers to are not cuts but reductions in the rate of growth of Medicare spending. The bulk of these savings come from eliminating excess payments to insurance companies; cutting fraud and abuse; and reducing the rate of growth in reimbursements to hospitals, equipment manufacturers, and other providers, though not physicians.

Second, the ACA strengthens Medicare. It extends the life of the Medi-

care Part A Trust Fund from 2016 to 2024, begins closing the notorious prescription drug doughnut hole, and introduces free preventive care.

Third, Paul Ryan’s budget, which the House enacted earlier this year, includes the $716-billion in reductions in future Medicare spending.

Fourth, by pledging to “restore” the $716-billion in savings, Romney will move the date of exhaustion of the Trust Fund back to 2016, reopen the doughnut hole and remove the other benefits introduced by the ACA. This will be a disaster for older adults.

The choice in November is clear.

Mitt Romney has shown that his claim he will save Medicare simply cannot be trusted.

LETTERS Eliminating teachers’ unions first step toward quality education

Special consideration need be given to location of playground

To the editor, Bill Dawson of Northfield responded to my letter on the failure of education in America. He responds EXACTLY the same way all teachers do when education’s total failure is spotlighted and documented with facts and statistics to back it up. There is no logical and intellectual defense, so they resort to the sympathy play. It is done over and over because teachers refuse to debate on the facts and substance of the issue. The sympathy defense is “ I was a teacher, I worked hard and I didn’t do it for the money”.

Any business that fails in private enterprise goes out of business no matter how long or hard the people worked, so it is NO EXCUSE. The ONLY answer that teachers have had for 40 years is “ pay us MORE and put MORE teachers in the classroom and the tide of failure will turn”. That is the honest truth and every person reading this KNOWS IT. It is not MY FAULT that doubling the number of teachers/aides in classrooms across America and raising their wages/ benefits faster than almost any occupation has failed to achieve the tiniest positive result. It could be argued that their path in fact has produced NEGATIVE RESULTS. Every major test of every grade level shows nothing but STAGNATION or DECLINE in the key areas and America falling further and further BEHIND in every global competition with other countries that spend FAR LESS per

To the editor, According to the Town of Belmont’s website, on July 23, the manager of Pine Gardens Mobile Home Park appeared before the Planning Board in reference to relocating the playground.

The playground is currently situated in a secluded area in the rear of the park, on Scenic Drive, with a small section of trees near the road that may reduce driver’s visibility. The park manager wants to relocate the playground to the rear of the existing “display” area in an attempt to provide better visibility for drivers. The “display” area is located across from the office of Pine Gardens where there are flag poles, more trees that may affect visibility, a stone wall and Route 140.

The playground remaining where it is has the advantage of children being further away from any strangers, but according to the minutes, they are allegedly out of view in case there are any problems. Pine Gardens Mobile Home Park is owned by the L&J Dupont Limited Partnership. The office for the partnership is adjacent to the current playground area and is equipped with multiple surveillance cameras that appear to have night vision capabilities. Therefore, the children can be monitored through the surveillance cameras by the park management so they are not actually “out of view.” Although children should be accompanied by an adult while at the playground, it is not always possible with older children when both parents are in the work force.

There needs to be special consideration given in where to locate a playground prior to it being moved. Any potential hazards to the children need to be identified when they are travelling to or from the playground. If the playground is moved to the rear of the “display” area, it will be in the center of four roads, St Lawrence Drive on the

student. Graduation rates in schools PEAKED decades ago.

The sympathy defense fails to HIGHLIGHT the impact on taxpayers, whose living standards have been crushed in this exchange for that failure. We can not reform Social Security or Medicare but we can send the property taxes to the moon with higher education costs. The living standards of the less fortunate (elderly) who own a home have been far more impacted than anything Republicans ever have done or proposed to do to them. Who never stops proposing increases to educational costs? Teachers’ unions, they SLEEP with the Democratic Party in exchange for handouts and STIMULUS MONEY that does nothing but keep the failure circle of education going round and round.

If anyone honestly wants to HALT THE FAILURE of education academically and economically, the first step is SIMPLE, REMOVE TEACHERS’ UNIONS from control and disconnect their French kiss with the Democratic Party for money. The union mission statement has only FOUR OBJECTIVES “ higher wages, higher benefits, expanded membership (because they all can increase dues collection) and job security for anyone, including perverts and the poorest quality teachers. No mention about cost or quality of product!

Not right for Romney to balance budget on backs of seniors To the editor, If you thought the recent recession was fun, or good for the country, it is clear that you can get a repeat performance. Mitt Romney alone was a walk on the path to more financial turmoil for the Middle Class of America. His addition of Paul Ryan makes that walk to the past a rush to economic disaster. Cuts to critical programs such as Medicare and added tax breaks for millionaires is no recipe for fixing what is wrong with our economy.

According to the Romney-Ryan team plan those seniors already 55 or over will not be affected. Those of us who have children or relatives under 55 will get the chance to look for their own health coverage and the opportunity to be turned away because of existing health problems. This along with an increase of $6,350 a year to buy into a voucher system is a formula for failure for America’s Middle Class.

The Affordable Care Act supported

by President Obama protects and strengthens Medicare as we know it.

Millions of seniors are saving hundreds of dollars on their prescription drugs right now and for future generations. In New Hampshire that means an average savings of $620 for 13,000 Seniors.

President Obama has extended the the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by cutting waste and subsidies.

For us to move forward as a nation, everyone has to do their fair share. It is simply not right for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to balance the budget on the backs of America’s Senior Citizens.

The choice you make in November has never been clearer. President Obama’s support for continuing the social network that protects Senior Citizens, or the Romney-Ryan ticket that would take us back by repeating the same catastrophic mistakes. It really has never been clearer!

east, Scenic Drive on the west, Route 140 on the north and an unnamed road that connects Scenic Drive and St Lawrence Drive to the south. There will also be traffic from the daily business at the office of Pine Gardens, their employees and the guest parking lot. The office of Pine Gardens is also equipped with the same type of surveillance cameras so playground activities can be recorded. Any person travelling on Route 140 will be able to see the children at the playground. In the event of a child being abducted or being involved in a custody dispute, Interstate 93 is only minutes away.

Relocating the playground to the suggested “display” area appears to have more disadvantages than advantages. Prior to any changes being made that will affect the safety of our children, I hope the management weighs all options and potential liabilities. If relocated, what will the Scenic Drive playground area be used for and who will be benefiting from this? Unfortunately, there has been a lack of communication between the home owners and the management. As a consumer, I should be notified of any changes to my community so I can be better informed and have an opportunity to ask questions in case there are factors involved I am not aware of.

If there are any tenants in Pine Gardens Mobile Home Park who are interested in forming a Tenants Association, please contact me at pgtptenants@hotmail.com. The purpose of an association is to educate and advise members of their rights and responsibilities as home owner’s, enhance communication between tenants and park owners and to stay informed of any changes to RSA 205-A, the statute that regulates manufactured housing parks. There is strength in numbers!

Biden is & has been a national disgrace since plagiarism episode To the editor, Has anyone else noticed that if it wasn’t for lies, smears, slanders and distortions, the president wouldn’t have a reelection campaign. This is easily the dirtiest campaign effort in history. Obama’s divide and conqueror plan is certainly dividing the people of this nation but it is not making for a better society or for that matter fixing the problems he was elected to fix.

Obama divides us on every level he can leverage. Race, religion, ethnicity, economic station, nothing is out of bounds in his drive to hang onto the power and privilege of his office. That in spite of the complete failure of his presidency to keep even the least of his promises.

Democrats over and over have denied that the Obama team has been playing the race card yet once again we hear (and see) jokin’ Joe Biden telling an audience, largely of blacks, that the Republicans want to “put y’all back in chains.” Nothing racist or divisive about that chime the Democrats.

Yea right! Funny though, earlier this week a writer asked readers to think about the idea of Paul Ryan having to take over as president if something were to happen to Romney. I guess

that writer hasn’t noticed that Biden is, and has been, a national disgrace since he plagiarized a great speech from British member of Parliament.

So excuse me if I snicker just a bit.

Another interesting news story not being covered by the left-leaning media is that of the shooting at the Family Research Counsel in Washington DC. A shooting there is apparently okay with the left, after all, those people disagree with the idea of same sex marriages. I have to ask those who have been demonizing conservatives, Christians and anyone disagreeing with them in the most vial terms if they understand how there actions gave licence to the weak minded shooter. Probably not but this just one of the prices we pay when one side follows the mantra of “any means justifies the end.”

Over and over Obama and his people insist Romney release 10 years of tax returns. Let Obama release all those documents he spent a million dollars to have sealed and hidden from the American people first before he claims the other guy is hiding something.

One more thing, just for we seniors citizens who have heard Obama claim see next page

LETTERS Ryan budget would shred social contract U.S. has flourished under

Patrick Henry quote about gospel of Jesus first appeared in 1956

To the editor, Willard Romney hung an albatross around his neck when he chose Congressman Paul Ryan for a running mate. The choice is the first major decision a candidate makes and Willard has failed the test. Here is why.

Congressman Ryan is a member of a Congress with the lowest approval rating (10-percent). In spite of his railing against government, he received Social Security survivor benefits that helped him to attend college. He was graduated in 1992, worked a few years in his family construction business and ran for Congress in 1998, at age 28. He has been a government employee ever since. He is far from a fiscal hawk (more like a senior hawk or poor people hawk) — his budget, which Willard has said that he would sign if he were president, kicks the national debt down the road for about 29 years before it is predicted to be paid off. Hardly a fiscally responsible policy!

This same budget would shred the Social Contract our country has flourished under since the end of WWII. Although current seniors will be insulated from the proposed coupon, the 40-year-olds coming down the pike will not recognize Medicare as a guaranteed benefit. Coupons with a fixed dollar value, will be issued to new seniors. However, the insurance premiums and medical claims will quickly out run the value and the elderly will have to make up the difference on their own.

Congressman Ryan also comes with an albatross around his neck of his own making. For years he has praised the philosophy of one Ayn Rand, a Russian atheist and purveyor of perverse selfishness in its most glorified

To the editor, Bishop Paul Blake claims that Patrick Henry said, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ” He never did. This is another bogus right wing quote used by the “Christian nation” crowd. The quote was first seen in the periodical “The Virginian” in 1956. It doesn’t claim he said it, either. It is part of the article’s own claims. There are dozens of bogus founder quotes out there. Most come from the religious right but I have found one real doozey from the separationist side, too.

Patrick Henry was a political foe of Jefferson and Madison. Henry detested the Constitution and said some pretty nasty things about it. He was as anti-federalist as it got. Their political battles came to a head even before the Constitutional Convention of 1787. In 1785, Henry proposed a law in which Virginia would support Christian teachers. Up against this was James Madison with the Virginia Religious Liberty Statute, written by Thomas Jefferson. Addressing Henry’s law in Madison’s famous “Memorial

form. Her ideas appear as a summary most every week in the Weirs Times: “I believe in complete, uncontrolled, unregulated, laissez-faire, private property, profit motive, free enterprise capitalism.” This may be the model for Vulture Capitalism, which always puts making money ahead of the broader citizenry’s quality of life.

Since April of 2012, Paul Ryan has tried to distance himself from Ayn Rand.

Is this so because he saw the veep position coming into focus? Ayn Rand and her economics are far out, beyond even libertarian views. Ayn Rand not only blasted government in any form, she also had no use for religion which she believed turned humans into “abject zombies.” Her ideas do great harm to American ideals of fairness and civic mindedness. They are in sharp contrast with Judeo-Christian values that require a society to care for its widows, orphans, those who are marginalized from the centers of power and money, to “love your neighbor as yourself” and “Yes, even welcome the stranger in our midst.”

Behold Willard Romney and Paul Ryan — we now have two “men of the moment” — two who are best described as like a paper towel roller made of cardboard and without a core.

These two want to claim they are fit for the highest offices in our country.

“Men of the moment” stay as vague as possible for as long as possible and look for instant gratification in the approval of the current crowd. Our country deserves better than these two men. Vote for President Obama and Vice President Biden on November 6th.

Let’s give the rich a chance to take a lesson from Warren Buffet To the editor, As a senior in New Hampshire I am taking a long look at recent politicians stating they are going to do away with Social Security as it is now and turn it into a voucher program. There are many people who are barely scraping by with the small Social Security checks they get now. Some things should not be privatized, and Social Security is one of them. People making just above minimum wage are not going to have any money to choose to pay into “buying” into Social Security, just like many could not afford to buy health care insurance.

When the House of Representatives recently refused to pass the president’s budget because of helping out the middle class and money for food stamps, we have to wonder. In the

words of Pope John, “The ultimate test of your greatness is how you treat every human being especially the weak and vulnerable ones.” Now we hear the cries from possible new leaders to ignore the poor and needy, but keep on giving the top one or two percent big tax cuts.

Yes, there are things that need to be tightened up, but that calls for working together, not throwing out totally something that many really need.

I do believe there are caring people among the wealthiest in our nation that would be willing to pay a little more — let’s give them that chance.

Hopefully they take a lesson from Warren Buffet. Let’s think long and hard seniors and women about who we send to represent us this fall.

from preceding page the Republicans want to destroy Medicare. It’s Obama who is taking billions out of the Medicare budget to help pay for ObamaCare.That’s money we payed into the program for our health needs in old age. That’s money that will not be available if our loved ones

and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments”, Madison stated: “Because the proposed establishment is a departure from the generous policy, which, offering an asylum to the persecuted and oppressed of every nation and religion, promised a lustre to our country, and an accession to the number of its citizens. What a melancholy mark is the bill of sudden degeneracy? Instead of holding forth an asylum to the persecuted, it is itself a signal of persecution. It degrades from the equal rank of citizens all those whose opinions in religion do not bend to those of the legislative authority. Distant as it may be in its present form from the inquisition, it differs from it only in degree. The one is the first step, the other the last in the career of intolerance.”

Jefferson’s law passed in 1786 and then served as the template for the Constitution’s ban on religious tests for oaths of office (Art 6) and the religious clauses of the first amendment.

Are the movies changes forever because of violent Colorado act To the editor, If you are reading this letter to the editor you are likely aware of last months shootings at the Century Sixteen Cinema in Aurora, CO. What should have been an exciting late night premier of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, turned into a massacre.

Everybody thinks of the movie theater as a safe environment, a place to escape the real world with family and friends. Now I have added the “movies” to the list of places where I need to be on guard and aware of those around me. The murders committed at the Century Sixteen movie theater were so senseless that they have left many people wondering if the perpetrator could have been mentally responsible for his actions. No matter his mental status, he has changed the way that this teenage girl feels about going to a movie. The day after the shootings I went to see the Batman movie. It was a different movie theater experience

than I have ever had. I noticed that I was more focused on what was going on in the theater and being aware of the people around me than actually watching the movie.

That’s when I started to think, are the movies changed forever because of this violent act? I started to think about other events that have changed the way that society looks at certain things. After the September 11th attacks on America occurred it was the first time I remember being afraid of what can happen in the world.

Since 9/11 when I go to an airport, the thought of what happened on September eleventh always runs through my mind and I don’t think that there will ever be a time that it won’t. To the list of places where I once felt safe but no longer do, I can add the movies. America is no longer the carefree society it once was.

Ovide Lamontagne’s thoughts on governing are a mirror of my own To the editor, About a month from now, we will be voting for the people that we want to represent us in federal, state and local governments. This year is a presidential election year, and we have many candidates to elect. Most voters are interested in one or two important issues that directly effect their lives.

Seldom does one candidate’s agenda direct his/her attention to ALL the issues that matter to you. Elections are more than a popularity contest, you will want to vote for the person who can best resolves your concerns.

After exploring the background and qualifications of Mr. Ovide Lamontagne, candidate for governor, and attending several of his meetings,

I find that if he was my clone, his thoughts on governing New Hampshire couldn’t match mine any closer.

I will vote for him for governor and I encourage you to do the same. His four major aims are: 1.

Encourage entrepreneurial growth and Jobs.

2. Simplify New Hampshire’s tax rules.

3. Enhance New Hampshire’s competitiveness.

4. Match spending reductions to offset projected revenues.

Gilford school enrollment expected to tick back up to 1,248 students

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The trend of declining enrollment may have come to an end for the School District here, with more students registered for classes during the coming school year which gets under way next week.

“The enrollment slide for Gilford appears to be over,” Superintendent Kent Hemingway said at the conclusion of Monday’s School Board meeting.

All told, 1,248 students are expected to attend the district’s three schools in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Hemingway estimates there will be 20 more students in the system than there were last year. The breakdown is 532 at Gilford High School, 344 in the Middle School and 372 at the Elementary School.

In her report to the School Board, Elementary School Principal Danielle Bolduc said that 21 new students had registered in her school during the summer. More than a third of those summer registrations were for kindergarten. The net gain over the 2011-12 school year is 14 students, she said. Bolduc said she expected there would be additional new enrollments between now and when school reopens next Wednesday.

Hemingway said the district is fortunate that the increases have been spread fairly uniformly among all the schools, and so there should be

no adverse effect on class sizes. In the Elementary School, for example, the largest class will have 21 students, with the others having between 17 and 20 pupils apiece. Middle School Principal Marcia Ross noted that the eighth grade has been growing in size with an expected enrollment this year of 101 students. The sixth grade by comparison is expected to have 67 students.

During the meeting the board also adopted without discussion the policy spelling out age requirements for starting kindergarten and first grade.

Another policy adopted concerns situations in which a Gilford student might be permitted to attend a public school in another district if the student’s education would for some reason be adversely affected by continuing to attend Gilford schools.

At the beginning of the meeting High School Principal Peter Sawyer introduced student Michael Czerwinski, who will be a senior this year, to give special recognition for Czerwinski’s accomplishments in honors courses in a variety of subjects, including calculus and history. In addition Czerwinski is active in Nordic skiing and has written a 400 page novel, Sawyer noted. Czerwinski told the board he was grateful for the recognition and gave special credit to two teachers, Gene Duquette and Mike Zulauf.

Manchester woman drowns in Meredith lake

MEREDITH — Officers from the N.H. Marine Patrol identified the woman who drowned Friday evening in Pemigewasset Lake as 38-year-old Jennifer Loftus of Manchester.

In a written statement to the media, Officer Scott Bailey said the Marine Patrol, as well as Meredith Police, Meredith Fire and Rescue, and Stewart’s Ambulance responded to the lake at 8 p.m. for a woman who was miss-

ing and who had last been seen in the lake.

Police said Loftus was found after a short time and was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Pemigewasset Lake is a small lake located across Route 104 from the Route 104 Diner.

Center Rd. motorcycle crash fatal for Meredith man MEREDITH — Police identified Frank Corliss, 50, of 176 Arbutus Hill Road as the man who was killed in a motorcycle crash Friday night on Meredith Center Road at 11:30 p.m.

By comparison, gas prices stayed below $3.70 in late August and early September in both 2008 and 2011.

Retail gasoline prices have gone up about 39 cents per gallon, or 12 percent, since hitting a low of $3.326 on July 2, according to AAA, OPIS and Wright Express. Kloza estimates that U.S. drivers are paying $149 million more each day for gas than in early July. That isn’t what the sluggish economy needs, since any extra money that goes to fill gas tanks doesn’t get spent at movie theaters or restaurants.

Corliss was thrown from the motorcycle landed just beyond it.

He was taken by Stewart’s Ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital where he died of his injuries.

Meredith Police said yesterday they are still investigating the crash.

The price at the pump in the U.S. fell more than 60 cents per gallon during the spring when oil fell as the global economy slowed and turmoil in the Middle East seemed to subside.

But oil has risen to $96 per barrel from $78 in late June. Investors have been worried about disruption to oil supplies in the Middle East and North Sea. In the U.S., there were problems with refineries and pipelines in the West Coast and Midwest, including a fire in California. Seasonal factors are also at play: Summer blends of gas cost more and demand goes up as families go on vacation.

Analysts expect prices to drop after Labor Day,.

GOT LUNCH from page one school cafeterias were closed.

The Got Lunch! concept is simple: any schoolage parent who signs up for the program receives a weekly shipment of groceries, enough to provide a week of lunches for the family’s children. There’s no screening process or financial eligibility threshold. Any Laconia family with school-age children is eligible.

For the first year, the program served an average of 292 children each week. Things got even busier this year, with a weekly average of 455 children, who received groceries for a total of 22,350 lunches this summer.

Many businesses also took up the cause. Beans & Greens Farmstand in Gilford helps provide fresh vegetables for those who want them. Vista Foods also participated, as did 13 local restaurants during the fund-raising Eat Out for Got Lunch! week.

Fortunately for Walker, the number of volunteers also kept pace. The first year, the program functioned thanks to 72 workers, a corps that grew to 208 this year. School district employees, students, city officials, service organizations and scout troops all sent teams of workers to help.

Bobbie Thomas and Martha Kruse are two of the volunteers who have helped both years of Got Lunch!. Last year, they helped pack and organize at the church. This year, they are a two-woman delivery team, responsible for one of the 11 routes that bring groceries to homes throughout the city.

Kruse is Walker’s wife, and as such she would have had a hard time avoiding the work. However, she find the work rewarding enough that she would volunteer anyway. Thomas, who has lived in Laconia since 1971, agrees. “I find it very, very rewarding,” said Thomas. Although she’s lived in the city for four

decades, she better understands the challenges of her fellow Laconians since volunteering with the program.

“We presume, because of where people live, that everything’s fine,” Thomas said. “But it ain’t.”

“Hunger is an abstract until you see it in the faces of people,” added Kruse. By delivering the same route each week, they’ve gotten to know several of the families. What was once a quick exchange — “Hi, I’m here for your Got Lunch! delivery.” “Thanks.” — is now a conversation underpinned by trust and rapport. And like old friends, they’ve learned that many families are dealing with challenges that may not be apparent from the curbside view.

“Tough times can hit anybody,” said Kruse. But thanks to the program, the city’s residents can help their neighbors make it through another week.

In Walker’s view, that’s the reason why the program has been successful in attracting support. “I think the message is very compelling. Hungry kids in your community, we can do something about this.”

What’s more, the program is proving contagious.

Similar programs have sprouted up in Ashland, Hokpinton, Deerfield, the North Country, and interested residents of several other towns have been in touch with Walker, or in some cases have been apprenticing with the program, in the hopes of starting a Got Lunch! in their own backyard.

“It’s become a community effort,” Thomas said about Got Lunch! Laconia. “It’s just unbelievable what has happened.”

“There’s something magnetic about this program,” said Kruse.

As Thomas added, most people are aware that there’s financial struggle in neighborhoods throughout the country. But, she said, “We can do something.”

Forrester says no to Senate 2 debates arranged by Lamb

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — It appears matchmakers will be required to arrange debates between the New Hampshire Senate candidates in District 2 — the incumbent Republican Jeanie Forrester of Meredith and her Democratic challenger Bob Lamb of Holderness — after Forrester yesterday formally rejected Lamb’s latest proposal.

“It is clear that Mr. Lamb will not be satisfied with anything less than having it his way,” Forrester charged in a statement, which she said is “intended to set the record straight.”

After Lamb proposed five debates, Forrester agreed to three, beginning with a forum in Meredith that would include the House eight candidates from Meredith and Gilford. She also agreed to a debate Plymouth, which she told Lamb “is yours to arrange as you would like.” Finally, she suggested an event in Haverhill that would be “arranged by the local media.” She specified that the candidates together chose the moderators and set the dates.

Last Friday, Lamb wrote to ForAPPLE from page 2 investors believed it could boost its future earnings massively.

Analysts believe the launch of a new iPhone in a month or two will be Apple’s biggest product introduction yet.

Scott Sutherland at Wedbush Morgan noted that some investors sold Apple shares last summer, when iPhone sales slowed down as consumers started holding off for the new model. Those investors missed out on a 50 percent jump in the stock price.

“This time around, investors are a little bit smarter across the board ... they don’t want to be caught not involved in the stock on this next iPhone launch,” Sutherland said.

Analysts also speculate that a “mini iPad,” could expand the number of people who can afford one of Apple’s tablets. The cheapest iPad cost $399, compared to $199 for the latest Google and Amazon tablets.

Analysts are speculating —based on rumors— that Apple plans to make a TV set to complete its suite of consumer electronics products.

Apple usually doesn’t comment on

rester agreeing to appear in Meredith at what he called a “non-debate forum “ with House candidates. But, he also announced that he had arranged “three face-to-face debates” — in Haverhill, Plymouth and Tilton — to be moderated by members of the League of Women Voters. All were scheduled on dates Forrester’s campaign manager, Carol Gerken, said the candidate would be available, according to Lamb.

“He demanded three debates his way and allowed me only one my way,” wrote Forrester. “The tone of the letter was more a demand that an effort to work towards agreement.” Forrester went on to say that “I am disappointed that we are not able to come to an agreement, look forward to appearing with Mr. Lamb at other events . . . that will be arranged by non-partisan organization.”

Lamb said yesterday that he had not heard directly from Forrester, but added “I thought we had agreement on the dates in Meredith and Plymouth.

At a minimum I would hope Senator Forrester would agree with that.” its future product plans until a few weeks or days before a launch.

Apple’s stock surge has made it a major part of many investment portfolios, often without the investors realizing it. The company makes up 4.7 percent of the value of the S&P 500 index, which is used as the basis for many mutual funds.

Figures supplied by FactSet imply Microsoft’s market capitalization record was $619.25 billion, somewhat lower than the $620.58 billion calculated by S&P. The difference lies in the number of outstanding shares the firms ascribe to Microsoft at the time.

China’s largest oil company, PetroChina, could lay claim to having hit a market capitalization even higher than Apple’s, because of the particularities of the Chinese stock market.

PetroChina was briefly worth $1 trillion after it listed on the Shanghai stock exchange in 2007, but only based on its price on that exchange, which is isolated from the rest of the financial world because of Chinese laws on foreign investment.

BELMONT from page one ranks to now become chief.

Selectmen also voted unanimously to name retired Fire Chief Rick Siegel as the temporary part-time fire inspection officer.

The decision came after Fire Chief David Parenti recommended him because of his knowledge of Belmont and his experience with fire inspections.

Selectmen created the temporary position two months ago and agreed that, if it were to become a permanent part-time position, it would have to go before the Budget Committee as part of the upcoming 2013 budget preparations.

Selectmen also voted unanimously to sign a new three-year contract with Parenti, who became fire chief two years ago.

In other business, selectmen said there would be a public meeting Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Corner

Meeting House to allow the public to provide information to representatives of the N.H. Department of Transportation about possible safety improvements to the intersections of Jamestown Road and South Road (N.H. Route 140) and N.H. Route 106 at Seavey Road.

Using information provided by local and state safety authorities, representatives from the DOT informed selectmen last year that the two intersections were among the more dangerous in the town.

As part of a federal grant, the DOT has money to make improvements such bettering the sight lines, creating left turn lanes, and installing better signage.

The meeting is part of a federal notice requirement by the DOT and selectmen encourage residents to attend.

RICE from page one its chief executive. The previous four CEOs of Big Blue had all been Augusta National members.

The battle ended in typical style for Augusta National, with an understated announcement that left even Burk stunned.

“Oh my God. We won,” she blurted out when contacted by The Associated Press.

Burk was not the first advocate to draw attention to women being left out, but it was an exchange with former chairman Hootie Johnson in 2002 that ignited the issue. Feeling as though the Augusta National was being bullied, Johnson stood his ground, even at the cost of cutting loose television sponsors for two years, when he famously said the club might one day ask a woman to join, “but that timetable will be ours and not at the point of a bayonet.”

The comment became either a slogan of the club’s resolve not to yield to public pressure or a sign of sexism, depending on which side of the debate was interpreting it.

Johnson, who retired as chairman in 2006, said Monday in a statement to The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., “This is wonderful news for Augusta National Golf Club and I could not be more pleased. Darla Moore is my good friend, and I know she and Condoleezza Rice will enjoy the Club as much as I have.”

Johnson and Moore have roots in South Carolina and banking, and they worked together on a $300 million capital campaign for the University of South Carolina. Rice recently was appointed to an influential U.S. Golf Association committee that nominates members to the executive board.

Payne, who took over as chairman in 2006 when Johnson retired, said consideration for new members is deliberate and private, and that Rice and Moore were not treated differently from other new members. Even so, he took the rare step of announcing two of the latest members to join because of the historical significance.

“These accomplished women share our passion for the game of golf and both are well known and respected by our membership,” Payne said in a statement. “It will be a proud moment when we present Condoleezza and Darla their green jackets when the club opens this fall. This is a signifi-

history and, on behalf of our membership, I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome them and all of our new members into the Augusta National family.”

Tiger Woods, who knows Rice through a mutual connection to Stanford, applauded the move.

“I think the decision by the Augusta National membership is important to golf,” Woods said. “The Club continues to demonstrate its commitment to impacting the game in positive ways.

I would like to congratulate both new members, especially my friend Condi Rice.”

Jack Nicklaus, a six-time Masters champion and Augusta member, extended his welcome to the two women.

“Everyone at Augusta National shares a similar passion for the game of golf, and I know they will be great additions to the club,” Nicklaus said.

A person with knowledge of club operations said Rice and Moore first were considered as members five years ago. That would be four years after the 2003 Masters, when Burk’s protest in a grass lot down the street from the club attracted only about 30 supporters, and one year after Payne became chairman. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the club keeps membership issues private, said Payne and Johnson agreed on the timing of a female member.

The person said prospective members often are not aware they are being considered. The club does not say how much it costs to join or provide figures on annual dues.

Augusta National is closed from the middle of May until the middle of October.

“It’s very exciting news, obviously,” said Allison Greene, who formed a group in 2003 called Women Against Martha Burk. “Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore are outstanding and incredible role models for the community, and anything that puts women like that out there is always a good thing. Second of all, the fact that their membership came by the hand of Augusta National because they wanted to do it, not because they were forced to do it, is a good thing.

I don’t know any woman who would want to be a member of any kind of club because they were forced into

Diabetes said out of control for man who allegedly threatened Laconia police officer and prosecutor

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A defense lawyer for the former Gilford man accused of threatening the lives of a Laconia police officer and the Laconia city prosecutor argued yesterday his client should be released on personal recognizance bail because his diabetes was a factor in his alleged bad behavior. A ruling on the request had not been made as of press time.

Public Defender John Bresau said that Bernard O. Huard, 54, was not a flight risk and had agreed to live with his daughter in Franklin. He said Huard’s daughter has two small children, would ensure Huard stayed current with his medications, didn’t drink any alcohol, and would report to Franklin police if so ordered by the court.

Bresau told Judge Jim Carroll that Huard’s daughter had no weapons in her home.

Bresau told the court an unnamed physician said Huard was suffering from low blood sugar — a condition he said can contribute to mental instability — when he allegedly made a phone call on August 7 to Laconia Cardiology and allegedly threatened the life of Det. Kevin Butler and City Prosecutor James Sawyer.

Huard is being held on $10,000 cash bail for three misdemeanor counts of criminal threatening and one misdemeanor count of resisting arrest from both Gilford and Laconia. Gilford Prosecutor Eric Bredbury is handling all of the prosecutions.

When in custody and at the Lakes Region General Hospital with three police officers including Laconia Capt. William Clary, Huard alleged reiterated his threat against Butler, allegedly telling Clary he AKIN from page 2 Brown of Massachusetts and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — urged Akin to step aside from the Senate race.

Brown, who is locked in a tight race with Democrat Elizabeth Warren, said Akin’s comments were “outrageous, inappropriate and wrong.”

Johnson called Akin’s statements “reprehensible and inexcusable,” and urged Akin to withdraw “so Missouri Republicans can put forth a candidate that can win in November.”

Akin also got a swift rebuke from the campaign of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

Romney and Ryan “disagree with Mr. Akin’s statement, and a Romney-Ryan administration would not oppose abortion in instances of rape,” Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said.

“Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive,” Romney said in an interview with National Review Online.

The furor began Sunday in an interview on KTVITV in St. Louis. Asked if he would support abortions for women who have been raped, Akin said: “It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate see next page

didn’t care if he was speaking in front of three police officers.

Bresau argued yesterday there was no direct threat made either to Butler or Sawyer.

He also said Huard has had heart surgery three times and that the Belknap County House of Corrections may not be the best place for him medically.

Bresau also said Huard’s blood alcohol level was determined to be .080 and that if he is released on personal recognizance bail he would not consume any alcohol.

Bredbury pressed for $10,000 cash bail to be continued.

“He threatened to commit capital murder against a police officer and a judicial officer,” Bredbury said.

“He said Detective Butler deserved a bullet in the head.”

Bredbury said Huard was found with a AK-47 automatic weapon magazine or “clip” that was loaded with 40 bullets and that he was seeking a gun when he was apprehended by Gilford and Laconia Police.

“In this day and age people don’t make phone calls. They go on shooting rampages,” said Bredbury, again noting Huard had a loaded magazine in his possession.

“He is a danger to Detective Butler and Prosecutor Sawyer if he is released,” Bredbury said.

Bredbury said that, like Bresau, he is not a doctor, but that Huard didn’t exhibit any signs of low blood sugar when police arrested him other than the smell of alcohol and slurred speech.

Bresau spoke again and added that Huard was evaluated by Genesis Behavior Health after he was given some food — which raised his blood sugar level – and that he seemed to be more in control of his mental state.

Bresau said Huard would agree to continue seeking mental health assistance from Genesis if he was released.

Carroll said he would take both arguments into consideration and make a ruling “shortly.”

Marine Patrol calls boating season ‘terrific’; speeding hasn’t been big issue

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — This has been a terrific summer for those who enjoy spending time on the area’s lakes.

The abundance of warm, sunny days has meant a brisk boating season in the Lakes Region generally, and Lake Winnipesaukee in particular.

“We’ve had terrific weather,” said Capt. Tim Dunleavy, who heads the state’s Marine Patrol which enforces boating laws and monitors waterborne traffic.

For Lake Winnipesaukee, the state’s largest lake, Dunleavy says the boating activity has been very heavy on the weekends. During the week there is less traffic volume, he observed, but what traffic there has been has been steady.

While boating is still an extremely popular activity, the economy and other factors are having an impact on what boaters do once they hit the water.

“A lot of people are going out and enjoying their boats,” said Dunleavy.

“But they’re going slower, or they’re anchoring or going adrift.”

With boaters taking it slower, Dunleavy said officers have not encountered many boaters exceeding the 45 mph daytime/25 mph nighttime limit on Winnipesaukee.

“It’s not the most violated law on the lake,” he said, “though we see more boaters going over the limit at night when the limit is lower.” He said thus from preceding page rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Later Sunday, Akin released a statement saying that he “misspoke.” But the fallout was swift and severe.

During the somber interview on Huckabee’s program, Akin apologized repeatedly, saying he made “serious mistakes” in his comments on KTVI. “Rape is never legitimate. It’s an evil act. It’s committed by violent predators,” Akin said. “I used the wrong words the wrong way.” He later made a similar apology in an appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio show.

President Barack Obama said Akin’s comments underscore why politicians — most of whom are men — should not make health decisions on behalf of women.

“Rape is rape,” Obama said. And the idea of distinguishing among types of rape “doesn’t make sense to the American people and certainly doesn’t make sense to me.”

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said a woman who is raped “has no control over ovulation, fertilization or implantation of a fertilized egg. ... To suggest otherwise contradicts basic biological truths.”

Between 10,000 and 15,000 abortions occur each year nationwide among women whose pregnancies resulted from rape or incest. An unknown number of babies are born to rape victims, the group said.

Research on the prevalence of raperelated pregnancies is spotty. One estimate published in 1996 said about 5 percent of rapes result in pregnancy, or about 32,000 pregnancies among adult women each year.

far Marine Patrol officers have issued “a fistful” of citations for speeding.

Statistically, this year’s boating season is shaping up to be very similar to last year’s, Dunleavy said. So far this year there have been 66 boating accidents statewide, compared to 62 all of last year. There have been four fatalities on state water bodies — one in the Lakes Region — while last year there were two. Drunk boating arrests are running about the same: nine so far this year, compared to 14 for all of last year.

Dunleavy said the only unusual feature of this year’s boating season has been a noticeable increase in the number of boats which have been damaged in shallow water.

“Because we did not get as much snow over the winter, we did not get the usual amount of runoff into the lakes, and so the lake levels, particularly earlier in the season, were lower than usual,” Dunleavy explained. The result was more boats sustained damage to their outboard drives, he said.

Overall, Dunleavy says it appears there are as many boats operating on the state’s inland and coastal waterways this year as last. As of Aug. 6, 86,738 boats had been registered in the state. Last year, 91,765 boats had been registered as of Sept. 12. “I think we’ll be pretty close to that (2011 figure),” Dunleavy said.

McCaskill was ready to move on, saying Akin should not be forced out of the race.

“What’s startling to me is that (Republican) party bigwigs are coming down on him and saying that he needs to kick sand in the face of all the primary voters,” McCaskill said Monday at a campaign event in suburban St. Louis.

“I want Missourians to make a choice in this election based on policy, not backroom politics.”

The McCaskill campaign seemed to favor a matchup against Akin.

McCaskill ran statewide TV ads during the primaries painting Akin as too conservative even for Missouri.

She also ran ads against his GOP rivals.

The Akin ads served two purposes for McCaskill: boosting Akin among the more conservative Republican primary voters to help get him nominated and raising questions about him among moderates and liberals.

Akin won the state’s Republican Senate primary just two weeks ago by a comfortable margin over millionaire businessman John Brunner and former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman. Many considered him a favorite to beat McCaskill in November.

Experts say the rape comments were a game-changer.

“He may in fact have mortally wounded himself,” said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. “This is a statement that is so crude and so offensive to more than half the electorate that there’s a real danger here that he has dealt himself out of this race.”

Vick shaken up but Eagles top Patriots; Brady rests FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Michael Vick keeps taking his lumps. His Philadelphia Eagles keep winning.

The star quarterback was leveled after throwing a long pass in the first quarter and underwent X-rays for the second straight game — negative again.

Then backup Nick Foles led the Eagles to a 27-17 preseason victory over the New England Patriots on Monday night.

Vick had X-rays on his ribs after being knocked down by linebacker Jermaine Cunningham. Eleven days earlier, in a 24-23 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, he had X-rays on his left thumb after hitting it on the helmet of center Jason Kelce. Vick took part in only six plays in each game.

Foles threw two touchdown passes for the second straight game for the Eagles (No. 8 in the AP Pro32).

Tom Brady sat out the game for the Patriots (No. 2). The New England quarterback figures to play Friday night in the team’s third preseason game, at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

games. Vick had been expected to play at least a half on Monday night and probably rest on Friday when the Philadelphia faces the Cleveland Browns, the Eagles’ opponent in the season opener.

But his night was cut short and he left after going 1 for 3 for 5 yards with one run for another 5 yards. After Cunningham drove his helmet into Vick’s left side, the quarterback went down, got up slowly then knelt on one knee. He was checked by medical personnel before going to the sideline under his own power.

Foles, a rookie third-round draft pick from Arizona, came in and finished 18 for 28 for 217 yards and touchdown passes to Clay Harbor of 1 and 3 yards. LeSean McCoy scored on a 1-yard run and Alex Henery kicked a 42-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 24-17 lead with 33 seconds left in the third quarter and a 21-yarder that capped the scoring with 2:00 remaining.

For the Patriots (1-1), third-stringer Ryan Mallett threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Alex Silvestro, and Stephen Gostkowski kicked field goals of 51, 35 and 55 yards.

BOSTON (AP) — The slumping Boston Red Sox will have a new pitching coach for the remainder of their tumultuous first season under manager Bobby Valentine.

Bob McClure was fired Monday and replaced by Randy Niemann with the Red Sox on the fringe of the playoff race following another rough stretch.

“We felt like we needed to make a change to put our pitchers in the best position to do what they needed to do,” general manager Ben Cherington said. “The next six weeks are important to create a foundation going into the offseason. We felt like this change was needed to give ourselves the best chance to do that.”

The Red Sox have lost 12 of 18 games this month to fall off the pace in the competitive AL East. Boston’s 4.30 team ERA was 11th in the American League heading into Monday’s games.

“This is a performance-based decision,” Cherington said. “As I said yesterday, there’s been a real good effort on the part of the staff to work together and iron out any communication issues that may have existed previously. This decision had nothing to do with that.”

Boston has struggled in its first year under Valen-

tine, who took over in December after agreeing to a two-year deal with club options for 2014 and 2015.

Popular infielder Kevin Youkilis had a public dustup with Valentine before he was traded to the White Sox, and Yahoo Sports reported that several players met with owner John Henry and team president Larry Lucchino in New York last month to complain about the manager’s handling of the team.

The Red Sox (59-63) were off Monday and host the Los Angeles Angels in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday night.

The 60-year-old McClure became the pitching coach in December. He also spent six seasons in the same position with the Kansas City Royals. The lefthander was 68-57 with 52 saves and a 3.81 ERA in 19 seasons in the majors.

Niemann was elevated from assistant pitching coach. He is in his first year with Boston after spending 24 seasons in the New York Mets’ organization.

“Randy’s got a lot of experience, too,” Cherington said. “He knows our guys well.”

The Red Sox also will be without outfielder Carl Crawford for the remainder of the season. He is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his left elbow Thursday.

OBITUARIES

Virginia B. Hutton, 94 LACONIA — Virginia B. Hutton, 94, died at the Taylor Home in Laconia on August 14, 2012. She was born on August 10, 1918 in Rochester, Vermont, the daughter of the late Eugene C. and Dorothy (Campbell) Brooks. Ginny grew up in Rochester and Springfield, Vermont, attending school in Springfield until shortly after the beginning of her senior year when her family moved to Winchester, Mass. She graduated from Winchester High School, earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from Middlebury College and later earned a Master’s Degree in Education from Boston State College.

Ginny worked at the Shawmut Bank in Boston for a year before, during the summers, and a year after attending Middlebury. In February of 1943, she joined the U. S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve – one of the very first women to do so in WWII. She is believed to be the first female Marine Commissioned Officer to run a Post Exchange in the country, heading up the PX in the Washington, DC area (Arlington, VA). In 1944, Ginny married Albert “Red” Hutton, who had been a classmate at Middlebury and who was also serving in the Marine Corps in Bougainville and Guadal Canal.

Following WWII, Ginny and Red lived briefly in Melrose and Lowell, Mass. then settled in Arlington, Mass. where they raised their 3 children.

Some of Ginny’s other work experiences include working in a church office, working in a real estate office and teaching pottery at the adult education level.

She became certified to teach children with learning disabilities and did so for many years, with great skill and compassion, in the Melrose, Mass. School System as well as the New Hampton School in New Hampton, N.H. After retirement, Ginny and her husband moved to Sanbornton, N.H. on Hermit Lake, where she was instrumental in getting legislation passed to assure safe speed limits on the lake and where she served on the local Conservation Commission. A walking trail in Sanbornton was named in her honor, recognizing her volunteer efforts in that community.

In December of 1991, The Huttons moved to an independent-living home in the Taylor Community in Laconia, N.H. They led a chair exercise program in the Taylor Home three days a week. After Red’s death in 1998, Ginny continued to lead that exercise group right up until just a few months ago. Ginny, who was always thinking of others, took great pleasure in creating personalized cards on her computer

for her many friends and neighbors as well as for family members. Ginny also created and donated the beautiful mosaic that hangs in the non-denominational chapel in the Ledgeview Building at the Taylor Community.

Ginny moved into Assisted Living at the Taylor Home in early July and conducted the last chapter of her life in the same manner with which she lived her life – with dignity and grace.

Ginny is survived by 2 sons, Jon R. Hutton and his wife, Susan (Whitman), of So. Weymouth, Mass. and Robert K. Huttonof Tewksbury, Mass.; a daughter, Jean B. Noel, and her husband, Richard, of Berwick, Maine. She is also survived by her sister, Eva Drysdale, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, 6 grandchildren, Geoffrey Hutton, Robert Noel, Richard “Ricky” Noel, Matthew Hutton, Brian Hutton and Dylan Lisio; 3 great-grandchildren, Kurtis Hutton, Ryan Noel and Emma Noel, as well as very special nieces and nephews – 8 nieces and 3 nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Eugene “Gene” Brooks. Ginny also leaves behind many wonderful neighbors and friends.

Respecting Ginny’s wishes, there will be no calling hours. There will be an informal “Reflective Service” held in the atrium of the Taylor Home and a Committal Service held at the N. H. State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, N.H. in about a month’s time. Friends and family with be notified of the dates and times.

Ginny Hutton was a fiercely proud, highly competent and very accomplished woman. She served and loved her country, her various communities and her family and friends. She was an inspiring role model and had a positive impact on countless lives. Special thanks to her physician, Dr. Ronald Witkin, to the members of the local Marine Corps League and other Marines who showed her so much love, support and respect and to the caring friends and staff members at the Taylor Home and the Central New Hampshire Hospice Team. She will be deeply missed by all those fortunate enough to have known her. We will carry a part of her with us.

Anyone wishing to do so may make a contribution in Virginia Hutton’s memory to Central New Hampshire VNA and Hospice, 780 North Main St., Laconia, N.H. 03246.

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

Blackstones presents the Chronicles LACONIA — Blackstones Jazz & Spirits celebrates “back-to-school” with the Chronicles on August 22 at 8 p.m. at the Margate Resort in Laconia.

Student tickets for this event are $5, available only at the door. General admission tickets are $12 and may be purchased in advance through the Margate front desk, and are available at the door. To purchase advanced tickets call the Margate at (603) 5245210, or visit www.theMargate.com The Chronicles have quickly created a presence in the northeast music scene but have set their sights on reaching national and international audiences. While only a few years in existence the group has performed at major festivals including the Big Up, Bella Terra, the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, and the BeatShot Music Festival.

Stylistically combining jazz, hip hop, R&B, funk, soul, and gospel, the Chronicles earn comparisons to Alicia Keys, James Brown, the Roots, Roy Hargrove’s RH Factor, and the Robert Glasper Experiment. Albany’s Metroland newspaper recognized them in their 2011 “Best of Capital Region” issue as the best in live hip hop with “jazz chops out the yin yang, and new tunes at their fingertips every time they pick up their instruments.”

The show is produced by NH Jazz Presents / Concert & Festival Productions. All NH Jazz performances have a concert listening policy, which prohibits talking, texting, cell phones, video/ audio recording, laptop comput-

ers, gaming units, and cameras during the performance. Venue features a full bar and a seafood jambalaya is served.

Blackstones Jazz Jam will follow the show. All participating “jamming” musicians pay only $5 for the concert.

The jazz jam is an opportunity for professionals and up-and-coming players to share the stage and play in the presence of headlining jazz musicians.

Concert audience is invited to stay and enjoy the session at no extra charge.

For information call Jon at NH Jazz Presents (518)793-3183 or email jon@ nhjazz.com. The show is sponsored by the Margate, the Radisson Nashua, Patrick’s Pub, and the Brandon Inn. Those who need a ride can call the Jazz Shuttle. (603) 286-8181. Riders receive 50% off tickets.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis make it fun.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t have to physically fight for what you want, though you may have to fight your own nerves to get to a place where you’re able to ask for it in a clear, direct voice.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll have the sense of being along for a ride, and you’ll probably be fine with going along with whatever another person decides, especially if it’s a person you know and love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Sometimes tasks that on the outside don’t appear to be very demanding come with a whole lot of internal pressure. Knowing this, you are careful of what you ask people to do for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll be around people who inspire your imagination, though you still manage to remain grounded. A flirty encounter may send you to the moon, but you’ll come back in time for dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your lack of pretense makes someone feel that they know you better than they actually do. So don’t be surprised if you get requests that seem a little too forward.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 21).

You’ll live your own philosophy this year. September shows you winning a long shot; your enthusiasm makes this possible. November brings a fortuitous business arrangement. Someone needs you in December, and it will be well worth your while to be available.

February and June are the most romantic months. Gemini and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 35, 49 and 13.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The falling rock doesn’t know about gravity, but it still follows its rule. You’re different. You wonder about things. You’ll find yourself considering your automatic actions and questioning the laws by which you abide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are likely to reveal things about yourself that you weren’t expecting to unveil.

You sense that it’s the information that will make another person feel more comfortable and open.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s a day to add to your inventory as you see fit. Keep in mind that dollars are not always the currency that can buy what you need. Tonight, new ideas and opportunities beg to be explored.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your snappy banter with an attractive someone will be something that repeats in the future. Keep it up, and you just could make someone fall in love with you!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There have been instances in your life when thinking about the future was much more pleasurable than the reality you found when you actually got there, which is all the more reason to indulge in the pleasure of dreaming today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The financial sector gets a thorough goingthrough. You feel upbeat about your prospects, and you’re right to be so optimistic. Things will work out quite well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll work admirably to improve your skills.

You want to control the experience you’re about to have, but it’s precisely your lack of control over it that will

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Aug. 21, the 234th day of 2012. There are 132 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 21, 1912, the Boy Scouts of America named its first Eagle Scout, Arthur Rose Eldred of Troop 1 in Rockville Centre, N.Y. On this date: In 1609, Galileo Galilei demonstrated his new telescope to a group of officials atop the Campanile (kahm-pah-NEE’-lay) in Venice.

In 1831, Nat Turner led a violent slave rebellion in Virginia resulting in the deaths of at least 55 white people. (He was later executed.)

In 1858, the first of seven debates between Illinois senatorial contenders Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place.

In 1878, the American Bar Association was founded in Saratoga, N.Y. In 1911, Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris. (The painting was recovered two years later in Italy.)

In 1940, exiled Communist revolutionary Leon Trotsky died in a Mexican hospital from wounds inflicted by an assassin the day before.

In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an executive order making Hawaii the 50th state.

In 1961, country singer Patsy Cline recorded the Willie Nelson song “Crazy” in Nashville for Decca Records.

In 1987, Sgt. Clayton Lonetree, the first Marine court-martialed for spying, was convicted in Quantico, Va., of passing secrets to the KGB. In 1991, the hard-line coup against Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev collapsed in the face of a popular uprising led by Russian federation President Boris N. Yeltsin.

In 1992, an 11-day siege began at the cabin of white separatist Randy Weaver in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, as government agents tried to arrest Weaver for failing to appear in court on charges of selling two illegal sawed-off shotguns; in the resulting shootout, Weaver’s teenage son, Samuel, and Deputy U.S. Marshal William Degan were killed.

One year ago: Euphoric Libyan rebels raced into Tripoli and took control of the center with little resistance as Moammar Gadhafi’s defenses collapsed and his four-decade regime appeared to be crumbling. In a statement from Martha’s Vineyard, where he was vacationing with his family, President Barack Obama called on Gadhafi to acknowledge reality and step down.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor-director Melvin Van Peebles is 80. Singer Kenny Rogers is 74. Actor Clarence Williams III is 73. Rock-and-roll musician James Burton is 73. Singer Harold Reid is 73. Singer Jackie DeShannon is 71. Football Hall of Famer Willie Lanier is 67. Actress Patty McCormack is 67. Pop singer-musician Carl Giammarese is 65. Actress Loretta Devine is 63.

Actress Kim Cattrall is 56. College Football Hall of Famer and former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon is 53. Actress Cleo King is 50. Rock singer Serj Tankian is 45. Actress Carrie-Anne Moss is 42. MLB player Craig Counsell is 42. Rock musician Liam Howlett is 41. Actress Alicia Witt is 37.

Singer Kelis is 33. TV personality Brody Jenner is 29. Singer Melissa Schuman is 28. Olympic gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt is 26. Actor Cody Kasch is 25. Actress Hayden Panettiere is 23.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 21, 2012— Page 23

Laconia High School students spend the summer helping save lakes LACONIA — For the fourth summer in a row, while most students and teachers enjoyed the summer off, a group of high school students and a Laconia teacher spent their summer working in the New Hampshire Lakes Associations’ (NH LAKES) Summer Youth Employment Program for Lake Protection (SYEP), saving area lakes like Lake Opechee, Lake Winnisquam, and Lake Winnipesaukee from polluted runoff water and unwanted aquatic plants.

In partnership with the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association and with support from the Dockham Shores Estates property owners association, the crew retrofitted the Dockham Shores Estates beach in Gilford with several low-cost and easy to install lake-friendly landscaping techniques—these drainage improvement projects are already reducing the amount of runoff water that flows off of property and into Lake Winnipesaukee. Not only does the project help save the lake from pollution, it also beautifies the property and serves as a demonstration site where other property owners can learn how to construct similar drainage improvement projects on their own property.

“The students worked incredibly hard through heat and humidity constructing rain gardens, infiltration trenches, and vegetated buffers at Dockham Shores,” explains Robie Parsons, NH LAKES Program Coordinator. “While the digging was not always easy, they persevered. Community members thanked the crew for their hard work as they visited the beach or strolled by on their morning walk— some even pitched in. We thank Dick Vaillancourt and Jim Smith from Dockham Shores Estates for their help—a couple of extra hands go along way.”

The crew which did the work will host a community open house at which people will be able to tour the Dockham Shores Estates project on Wednesday, August 22 from 4-6 p.m.

Dockham Shores Estates is located on Dockham Shore Road off from Rte. 11-B in Gilford.

The students also spent time this summer working as Lake Hosts saving area lakes from the spread of invasive exotic aquatic plants. The students greeted boaters at public boat launches on Lake Opechee and Lake Winnisquam and offered to conduct courtesy boat and trailer inspections to remove hitchhiking plant fragments.

Through the Summer Youth Employment Program for Lake Protection, NH LAKES has provided academically at-risk or financially disadvantaged high school youth with part-time jobs—for some students, their first job ever. Students work as NH LAKES Lake Conservation Corps and/or Lake Hosts up to 15 hours a week, typically for six weeks during the summer, helping to protect lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams and encourage stewardship by other people. In addition, each week the students are provided with five hours of interactive academic instruction on lake ecology, management and protection, and “green jobs.” Since 2009, this program has been implemented in six school districts throughout the state.

The NH LAKES 2012 Summer Youth Employment Program in Laconia was funded by generous grants from The Caswell Foundation, the Davis Conservation Foundation, and the Opechee Garden Club. The program was also supported by donations from local businesses including Belknap Landscape Company, Inc. Those who have a water runoff problem on their property that may be affecting the health of a nearby lake, pond, river or stream, can contact Robie Parsons, NH LAKES Programs Coordinator, at (603) 226-0299 or rparsons@nhlakes.org.

People who have a question about exotic aquatic plants, or would like to help initiate a NH LAKES Summer Youth Employment Program in their community, contact Andrea LaMoreaux, NH LAKES Vice President of Education & Communication, at (603) 226-0299 or alamoreaux@nhlakes.org.

Sublime with Rome rocking Meadowbrook with Cypress Hill and Pepper on August 23 GILFORD — The Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion is happy to welcome back Sublime with Rome along with Cypress Hill and Pepper on Thursday, August 23.

Sublime rose to fame in the mid 90’s during the California punk explosion when bands like Green Day and the Offspring were on the scene. Sublime, with more of a ska-punk/reggae sound, put out only two albums in their first seven years, but truly hit the mainstream with their self-titled album in 1996.

Sadly, the band’s frontman, Brad Nowell passed away only two months before the album’s release, however the album was a huge hit. On the strength of the chart-topping alternative radio hit “What I Got,” the album was certified gold by the end of 1996. With Nowell’s passing, the band soon collapsed with members forming other small bands until 2010

when Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson decided to reunite and added Rome Ramirez as their new frontman under the new name Sublime with Rome.

Cypress Hill is undeniably one of the most influential and durable names in the world of hip-hop.

From the groundbreaking watershed beats and rhymes of the group’s self-titled 1991 debut to the “Smokin’ Grooves” of tomorrow, Cypress Hill is a beacon at the crossroads of hip-hop and alternative music. The band continues to make music today and in 2010 they announced their signing to Priority Records thanks to the label’s creative director, Snoop Dogg. The label released their eighth studio album, Rise Up, that same year.

Tickets are on sale now and range from $36 to $63.25. To order, call (603) 293-4700 or log on to www.meadowbrook.net.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 21, 2012— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My toxic mother has put a strain on my family.

Two years ago, she got into a fight with my husband, and I sided with him. Life has been a living hell ever since. She constantly calls and leaves horrible messages on our voicemail.

She has turned family and friends against us.

Our kids are scared to death of her, but she has told everyone that I turned the children against her for no reason. Of course, she would never admit doing anything wrong. She’s been like this since I can remember. She tormented me during my childhood. My psychiatrist says she has mental health issues, and our lawyer says she probably won’t follow a restraining order.

My husband says to ignore her, but that’s impossible. My children and I want to move. I have panic attacks every time I see her phone number show up on our Caller ID. When she doesn’t call, I’m on pins and needles waiting for the inevitable. I dread leaving the house, because I worry about running into her somewhere. How do I convince my husband that it’s in our best interests to move? If he won’t, how do I get my mother to leave us alone? -- On the Edge Dear Edge: You cannot change your mentally ill mother’s behavior unless she is cooperative. And asking your husband to move is a big step, especially if it means leaving his job.

While running away might be helpful in the short term, unless you plan to go into the witness protection program, Mom eventually will find you.

Instead, take control of your life. Issue that restraining order, and if Mom violates it, call the police. Get an unlisted phone number. Refuse to let her bully you. Then, if you still wish to move, you and your husband will have time to find jobs and a home in a new location rather than letting Mom chase you out of town. We also suggest you discuss this with your therapist and work on ways to feel safe.

Dear Annie: In our small social group, the wives insist on attending a local event in which the husbands have zero interest. When I have suggested politely that the wives go without us, they become irritated and veto this plan.

I know a husband who drags his wife to sporting events where she puts in earplugs and reads a novel. Why do people insist that their spouses attend events whether they want to or not? Is it power and control? A test of one’s loyalty?

Please urge your readers to attend these things with those who enjoy them and allow the rest of us to bow out. -- Going but Resenting It Dear Going: There are myriad reasons people do this, although some simply want their spouses to enjoy what they do and keep them company. And there are instances where going to something that doesn’t interest you can lead to actual enjoyment and expand your social repertoire. But we agree that if it’s the same event repeatedly, you shouldn’t have to keep going -- provided your spouse has someone else with whom to attend.

Dear Annie: Please tell “Distraught Wife” and any other person struggling with opioid addiction to talk to a doctor and ask about Suboxone. This is a drug for addicts that will help them get off the stronger, addictive drugs in a matter of days. It does involve a couple of days of discomfort, but after that, the desire is gone. -- Anonymous Dear Anonymous: Suboxone is a medication approved for the treatment of opiate dependence, and it has a lower potential for abuse than methadone. Common side effects include flu-like symptoms, headaches, sweating, nausea, sleeping difficulties and mood swings, and Suboxone has been associated with difficulty breathing, especially when combined with other depressants. But under a doctor’s supervision, it can help an addict get sober.

Laconia Academy offers diploma courses for fall semester starting Aug. 27 LACONIA — Laconia Academy is the adult evening high school diploma program in the Lakes Region. “This program provides adults with a “second chance” to earn a high school diploma,” states Mrs. Peggy Selig, Program Director.

Anyone interested in enrolling for the Fall Semester 2012 or learning more about the program is urged to call 524-5712 or stop into the Laconia Adult Education Office located in Room #108 at Laconia High School.

The Fall Semester 2012 classes start the week of August 27 – August 31.

The following courses will be offered: Chemistry & Lab, Math By Design, Cover To Cover, English, Etc, Novel To Movie, Algebra I, Just Say Know!, Psychology 101, Math Concepts/Pre-Algebra, World Wars and the Holocaust, and Human Biology/Lab. Laconia Academy also enables In-School Youth, enrolled in day high school programs, to take courses at night if they have failed classes during the day.

With the principal’s permission, any In-School Youth may enroll at Laconia Academy. This cooperation with local area high schools helps prevent In-School Youths from dropping out of high school or having to repeat their senior year.

Students attending Laconia Academy can earn high school diploma credits in several different ways. Credit is given for previous high school credits earned and life experiences such as military service, work experience, apprenticeship training, correspondence courses, certificate programs and homemaking. Credits are earned by passing courses at Laconia Academy.

Laconia Academy is also approved for those eligible for V.A. benefits.

One vital piece of paper needed at the time of enrollment is a copy of one’s high school transcript from the last school attended. It is necessary in order to transfer those previously earned high school credits to one’s current record at Laconia Academy.
