Local law enforcement stands its own ground against expansion of deadly force protections

Are you ready for some football?

BELMONT — Two more homes were burgled early yesterday morning while two apparent burglaries were foiled when residents reported someone seeking to gain entry to their houses in the neighborhood bounded by Route 3 to the north and Union Road on the east.

At 3:30 a.m. a man on Arlene Drive readying to leave for work heard someone trying to open a locked

LACONIA — Local law enforcement officials at the forefront of the effort to uphold Governor John Lynch’s veto of legislation that would expand the justifiable use of deadly force by citizens said yesterday that the bill is an invitation to violence and a nightmare for prosecutors.

“This bill provides a legal loophole for someone to use deadly force and will encourage people to commit acts of violence,” declared Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin, the current president of the New Hampshire Sheriffs’ Association. see deadLy FORCe page 8

Hurricane Irene weakens but remains big threat to coastal states

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — People stocked up on food, boarded windows and gassed up their cars Tuesday as Hurricane Irene threatened to become the most powerful storm to hit the East Coast in more than a decade.

Water, bread and batteries disappeared from store shelves. Lines formed at the pump.

From Florida to Maine, residents were told to brace for flash flooding and power outages.

Hundreds of miles south, Irene swirled through the Caribbean, giving a glimpse of what was to come.

Homes were inundated with water, residents took refuge in schools and churches, and more than a million people were without electricity.

One woman was killed in Puerto Rico.

Forecasters warned it could get worse: The storm was likely to strengthen into a Category 4 monster by the time it makes a landfall in the U.S. this weekend, most likely hitsee IRENE page 8

Strongest quake since ‘44 jars East Coast MINERAL, Va. (AP) — Tens of millions of people from Georgia to Canada were jolted Tuesday by the strongest earthquake to strike the East Coast since World War II. Three weeks before the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, office workers poured out of New York skyscrapers and the Pentagon, relieved it was nothing more sinister than an act of nature.

There were no known deaths or serious injuries, but cracks appeared in the National Cathedral and three capstones broke off its tower. Windows shattered and grocery stores were wrecked in Virginia,

where the quake was centered. The White House and Capitol were partly evacuated.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake registered magnitude 5.8. By West Coast standards, that is mild. But the East Coast is not accustomed to earthquakes at all, and this one unsettled some of the nation’s biggest population centers.

In New York and Washington, people said their thoughts were of an explosion or terrorist attack. In some cases, workers in Washington mentioned the tremors in phone calls to colleagues in New York, and seconds later, the shaking reached there, too.

“We thought it was a bomb at first because everyone has 9/11 on the brain and that it’s so close to September and the 10th anniversary,” said Cathy McDonald, who works in an IRS office in downtown Washington.

Hundreds of people spilled out of the federal courthouse blocks from ground zero after the quake struck just before 2 p.m.

EDT. Workers in the Empire State Building rushed into the streets, some having descended dozens of flights of stairs.

“I thought we’d been hit by an airplane,” see EARTHQUAKE page 12

CONCORD (AP) — Residents in New Hampshire say they’ve felt the impact of the earthquake in Virginia.

Marian Lloyd, of Loudon, says she was sitting in her living room, watching television when she felt the chair rock sideways about 2 p.m. Tuesday. She thought at first

she might’ve been feeling dizzy — then she saw the news on television about the earthquake.

Some residents felt swaying, or saw pictures on the wall move.

Conway Fire Chief Steve Solomon tells WMWV-FM radio he noticed his chair and

desk shaking for about 10 seconds.

The 5.9 magnitude earthquake, centered in Virginia, forced evacuations of all the monuments on the National Mall in Washington and rattled nerves from Georgia to Martha’s Vineyard, where President Barack Obama is vacationing.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Hundreds of Libyan rebels stormed Moammar Gadhafi’s compound Tuesday, charging wildly through the symbolic heart of the crumbling regime as they killed loyalist troops, looted armories and knocked the head off a statue of the besieged dictator. But they found no sign of the man himself.

The storming of Bab al-Aziziya, long the nexus of Gadhafi’s power, marked the effective collapse of his 42-year-old regime.

But with Gadhafi and his powerful sons still unaccounted for — and gunbattles

flaring across the nervous city — the fighters cannot declare victory.

The rebel force entered the compound after fighting for five hours with Gadhafi loyalists outside, using mortars, heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. They killed some of those who defended the compound and hauled off thousands of rifles, crates of weapons and trucks with guns mounted on the back in a frenzy of looting.

“We’re looking for Gadhafi now. We have to find him now,” said Sohaib Nefati, a rebel sitting against a wall with a Kalash-

nikov rifle.

Abdel-Aziz Shafiya, a 19-year-old rebel dressed in camouflage with a rocket-propelled grenade slung over one shoulder and a Kalashnikov over the other, said the rebels believe Gadhafi is inside the compound but hiding underground.

“Wasn’t he the one who called us rats?

Now he is the rat underground,” he said.

Shafiya said he felt “an explosion of joy” to be standing inside Gadhafi’s stronghold in the capital after a lightning-quick rebel see LIBYA page 11

Same-sex marriage moving quickly toward mainstream One of the few issues on which opinion has moved left over the last few years is same-sex marriage. In 1996, Gallup found that Americans opposed it by a 68-percent to 27-percent margin. Last May, Gallup found Americans in favor by 53-percent to 45-percent. That’s a huge change in 15 years.

Other polls have shown similar movement. Pew Research reported last week that 45-percent favored same-sex marriage and 46-percent were opposed — a dead heat. Pew polls in 2008 and 2009 found only 35-percent to 40-percent in favor.

This is an issue on which the differences between age groups are as large as any I can remember. In the May Gallup poll, 70-percent of those under age 35 favored same-sex marriage. Only 39-percent of those over 55 agreed.

So while opinion on one controversial cultural issue, abortion, has not changed much, opinion on same-sex marriage has changed vastly.

Why? One reason is probably that as people learn that friends and relatives are gay, they become more sympathetic to gay rights. We see a similar change in voters’ willingness to elect openly gay candidates to Congress and other offices.

But increasing support for samesex marriage causes problems for politicians. When two-thirds of voters were opposed, it didn’t: Almost everyone opposed it. Possible exception: Barack Obama, running for state Senate in a university-dominated district in 1996.

As a candidate for U.S. senator and president, Obama said he opposed same-sex marriage. As president, he says he still does, but his opinion is “evolving.”

This may reflect a split between Democratic core constituencies.

Affluent liberals overwhelmingly favor same-sex marriage. But most black voters are opposed. In a 2008 referendum in California, 70 percent of blacks voted against samesex marriage. A same-sex marriage bill was defeated this year in Maryland after black Democratic legislators opposed it. Same-sex marriage would be legal in California and Maryland were it not for opposition by black voters.

Mainstream media reporters pepper Republican presidential candidates with questions about the issue but seldom ask Obama about it. But if it’s a fair question for Republicans, it’s a fair question for Democrats, as well.

The problem for Republican politicians is not that opposition to same-sex marriage antagonizes gay voters. According to exit polls

in the last three presidential elections, gays and lesbians made up just 3-percent of the electorate, and they were one of the few groups that voted for John McCain in 2008 in larger numbers than had voted for George W. Bush in 2004.

The Republicans’ problem is young voters. Huge majorities of them favor same-sex marriage, and for most of them it’s simply a no-brainer. They must have been turned off if they were watching the Republican presidential candidates vie with each other in opposing it in the Fox News-Washington Examiner debate in Iowa.

The constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage that they supported is never going to get a two-thirds vote in Congress or be ratified by three-quarters of state legislatures. Unless the Supreme Court rules there is a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, this is an issue that is going to be decided by the states.

Opponents of same-sex marriage argue that it would weaken the institution of the family. Certainly there are problems there: Rising percentages of children are raised by one parent or none, and nearly 50-percent of teenage children in non-college households did not live with both parents. Yet outcomes for children raised in two-parent families are far better than for those who are not.

But as one who favors same-sex marriage for reasons set out in Jonathan Rauch’s 2004 book “Gay Marriage,” I think the institution of the family is less threatened by a few people who want to get married than by the very many more people who get divorced or who have children without getting married at all.

In any case, we now have an experiment going on. Some 11-percent of Americans live in the six states and the District of Columbia that allow same-sex marriage. That would rise to 23-percent if California voters, who narrowly rejected it, switch. Other states may follow. On the other hand, states where blacks and white evangelical Protestants form a majority are unlikely to accept it any time soon.

We will be able to see how things work out and make judgments, without much need for guidance from our presidents or presidential candidates.

LETTERS Nothing but an absurd attempt to distort the definition of racism To the editor, “Racism 1. A belief that human races have distinctive characteristics that determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others. 2. A policy of enforcing such asserted right.” The Random House Dictionary of the English Language On August 23, 2011 The Laconia Daily Sun published a column by Leo Sandy that put forth the proposition that racism can really only be practiced by a dominant race and that members of minority races cannot be racist.

Recent events in our country suggest Mr. Sandy’s definition of racism be subjected to analysis in order for readers of this publication to determine if there is merit to his definition.

In the last several weeks there have been a number of incidents in the city of Philadelphia and outside of Milwaukee Wisconsin where black young adults have specifically targeted white citizens for physical battery. In these incidents, roving gangs of assailants who have gathered together after coordination via electronic social media have specifically attacked white citizens. The victims of these attacks were selected for battery by the color of their skin.

Mr. Sandy would have us believe that the key to identifying racist behavior is not merely the event of differentiation and discrimination based on skin color, but that the race discriminating must also have dominant status in the society. He suggests that we can determine the existence of dominance by the presence of wealth and power.

What happens if we apply Sandy’s logic to the recent incidents in the two previously identified metropolises?

We don’t know the economic status of the assailants in the Philadelphia and Milwaukee incidents as it was not reported by the media. However, applying Mr. Sandy’s test we certainly can determine that the attackers had sufficient power and control in each assault to cause physical injury to their victims after selecting each one by skin color. No one can deny that the attackers were the dominant parties in each of the assaults that took place.

I guess that means that there may have been an element of racist behavior when these beatings occurred.

I trust that readers of The Laconia Daily Sun can distinguish the absurdity in Mr. Sandy’s attempt to distort the definition of racism. It is inescapably logical that any racial group is capable of acting in a racist fashion. It is an unfortunate reality that U.S. history offers many examples of appalling racism by whites toward blacks and other minorities. It is, however, a sad fact that blacks have also used race as the primary motivation for discriminatory harmful behavior against whites and others.

U.S. society is a mosaic influenced by the multiple cultures that populated this land. We will take a major step forward as a country when we stop harming one and other because of immutable characteristics such as skin color. Racism is a two way street no matter how much Mr. Sandy wishes it were otherwise.

LETTERS 3/4 of families that don’t pay income taxes earn $30K or less To the editor, The Daily Sun states in its masthead, “Seeking the Truth and Printing It”.

Those who continue to write about the “45-percent of the adult population that pays NO TAXES” need a reality check. The notion that these households pay no taxes is flat-out wrong. They pay state and local sales, and property taxes — federal gasoline and other excise taxes and, most significantly, payroll taxes on every dollar they earn.

These taxes are regressive. Everyone pays the same share, regardless of income, so they hit the poor hardest. The Social Security tax ends once someone earns more than $106,800, so as a percentage of income, that tax falls mostly on the poor and middle-class.

The Tax Policy Center’s explained “a couple with two children earning less than $26,400 will pay no federal income tax this year because their $11,600 standard deduction and four exemptions of $3,700 each reduce their taxable income to zero. The basic structure of the income tax simply exempts subsistence levels of income

from tax.”

Of those households that do not owe income taxes, about a third earn $10,000 a year and a slightly smaller share earn between $10,000 and $20,000. More than three-fourths earn $30,000 or less.

Do you truly see this as an “injustice”? Do you believe someone making $30,000 a year should pay a “fair share” by raising the tax burden on these households? You would cheerfully take their last dollar so Mitt Romney (who is unemployed) can get that dollar?

Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.’” Another way to look at overall taxation is the percentage of federal taxes compared to the overall economy (Gross Domestic Product.). This year federal taxes are estimated to be 14.4-percent of GDP, the lowest level since 1950!

Convince me Louis Farrakhan isn’t a racist and an anti-Semite To the editor, Tuesday morning and once again we are being treated to a fine example of the “critical thinking” of our favorite professor, Leo R. Sandy. According to the professors logic (or lack thereof) “minorities can not be prejudice”. To support his contention he uses the same kind of twisted, perverted rationalization he used a few years ago when he wrote that the U.S. sold weapons of mass destruction to Saddam Hussein. That didn’t wash then and what he presents to us now won’t either.

Tell me that Louis Farrakhan isn’t only a raciest but is not also anti-

Semitic. I dare you professor. Rationalizing cause does not constitute eliminating the condition.

As for your five steps, written no doubt by another “enlighten” liberal, if they were valid every minority person in the world would be affected in the same way but they are not. People choose how to react to conditions around them, do they not? Farrakhan chooses to be who and what he is as do we all and it has nothing to do with race which is a factor but not the deciding factor.

Geeez, no wonder I refer to Leo as the nutty professor.

You probably haven’t heard much about student protests in Chile To the editor, “On the ground” report from Chile: I recently returned to New Hampshire after almost six weeks in Chile.

This was my fifth trip. Besides the Americas Cup (Chile got beat out by Venezuela!), the other “big” news is the Chilean student strike, something widely covered in the Chilean and European press but curiously largely ignored by the U.S media. In Chile, high school and university students have been en paro, or on strike since May (it is winter and people are in school in Chile).

Besides not attending classes, many

en toma. In other words, the school buildings are occupied by students and chairs and classroom furniture is placed at the doors to enforce the occupations. There are virtually no police attempts to “retake” the buildings and many teachers and university professors support the students.

On the other hand, there has been violence in the capital of Santiago and some of the other larger university towns between student protesters and police. Many Chileans believe that at least some violent incidents have been started by police agents provocateurs.

Violence has especially occurred when see next page

In addition many protesters, their parents, and even some Chilean government leaders are questioning some police tactics used against protesters even though today’s Carabineros (Chile’s national police force) are famous for their general incorruptibility and professionalism on a continent where this has often not been the case.

The marches and demonstrations have been serious but entertaining.

Chilean students are very creative and there has been music, dance, costumes, and street theater during the demonstrations. The student protesters have exhibited a great deal of humor in their actions. For example, a group of students, in costume, danced to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” in front of the Presidential Palace!

The average American’s image of the typical student protest leader comes from the 1960s and 70s. That image is of a drug-crazed “Yippie.”

The Chilean student leaders, by contrast, are not Abbie Hoffman or Jerry Rubin types. They are articulate and polite. They give respectful and intelligent interviews to the media. At the same time, they are not giving in. The students are well organized. Chilean high school and university students are very politicized and are organized into unions and federations. Student councils and governments are often elected along partisan lines.

A lot of parents and “ordinary” Chilean citizens are supporting the student protests. In fact, even some labor unions have come out in support of the students. There are even calls for President Sebastian Piñera’s resignation. There is also a demand for a national, popular referendum on education policy on the part of students, educators and other Chileans.

Why are the students protesting? In general, they strongly oppose decreased government funding and support for public education. With the Chilean copper industry (largely state-owned or controlled) currently highly profitable, they demand that more of their country’s copper profits be funneled into public education.

They are protesting ever-rising tuition fees, now the most expensive in Latin America. They also object to the need to take out large student loans that profit the banking system.

Moreover, they oppose the corporatization and privatization of education.

They oppose the ideological concept that private education is better and that schools and universities should be “profitable” and run according to the “business model.” They are especially concerned by a type of “voucher” system whereby private schools get

taxpayer funds. Students are also concerned about how educational funding follows the U.S. model, namely, locally based. The wealthier the neighborhood, the better the schools.

Chilean education was not always thus. The process that led to the current crisis began in the early 1980s under a military dictatorship that took power on Tuesday, September 11, 1973 with the support of the United States. The military deposed the elected government of socialist President Salvador Allende. After banning labor unions and political parties and killing, imprisoning, exiling, or torturing into silence any possible opponents, the brutal Chilean military government embarked on a program of privatization of education, medical care, and other social services, including the Chilean social security system.

The Chilean military junta, under the command of army general Augusto Pinochet, invited a group of technocrats and conservative economists to reform the Chilean economy along “neoliberal” and “free market” lines. These economists and technocrats were nicknamed the “Chicago Boys” because they had completed their graduate studies either at the University of Chicago under the late free market economist Milton Friedman or at the Faculty of Economics at the Pontifical Catholic University in Santiago de Chile which had close “exchange” ties with the University of Chicago’s Department of Economics.

The “Chicago Boys” embarked on a program to reduce government spending and force the privatization of many enterprises as well as education and social services. Ironically, they left nationalized the copper mines previously nationalized by a socialist government as long as at least 10-percent of the copper profits went to the military! Some have suggested that the military government’s free market policies were part of a “privatization experiment” performed before it was tried in the U.S. The current conservative government of President Piñera (whose poll ratings are even worse than those of General Pinochet during his last years in office and who was able to accumulate a huge fortune during the military dictatorship) is the biggest supporter of the education “business” model. Students, teachers, and the general Chilean public, however, are opposed to these policies, continued by both liberal and conservative governments since democracy was restored to Chile in 1990.

Tests found no illegal drugs in Winehouse body LONDON (AP) — Amy Winehouse had no illegal drugs in her system when she died, and it is still unclear what killed the singer, her family said Tuesday.

The family said in a statement that toxicology tests showed “alcohol was present” in the singer’s body but it hasn’t yet been determined if it contributed to her death.

The 27-year-old soul diva, who had battled drug and alcohol addiction for years, was found dead in her London

home on July 23, and an initial postmortem failed to determine the cause of death.

A statement released by spokesman Chris Goodman on the family’s behalf said “toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death.” The statement did not mention whether any legal drugs were found.

LETTERS Here’s what fascism was about in Europe; right any bells for you?

To the editor, The right has a bad habit of revising history and Mr. Hood revises both history and accepted definitions. It is difficult to classify people politically on a linear scale so even our current labels have a lot to be desired — but Mr. Cracraft’s assessments are correct while Mr Hood’s are not. In our political climate, far left means heavy handed socialist government and far right means heavy handed conservative government. Few see left vs right as “from big government to no government” although it could be true on another planet or with a non-linear model.

Mr. Hood and others like to throw around the word socialist indiscriminately. Socialism is when the government owns the companies of its nation. Seen that lately? Probably not. Venezuela for sure. Fascism on the other hand involves a corrupt marriage between big business and government. Corporate power and outcomes drive government decisions. Mussolini said “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power”. Sound familiar?

Citizens United ruling? The Koch brothers buying our politicians? Corporations are people?

Mr Hood claims Mussolini was a socialist. He was until after WWI but renounced socialism in favor of his fascism that emphasized militant patriotic nationalism. Ring a bell? I doubt Mr. Hood has read Mussolini’s encyclopedic declaration written in 1932 because if he did, he would know that Mussolini relentlessly attacked liberalism and socialism. I urge him to read it at http://www.worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/reading/germany/ mussolini.htm. In his manifesto he mentions liberalism and socialism in a negative way 43 times. In contrast to the materialism of socialism, Mussolini claims Fascism is spiritual and uses the term 23 times to define Fascism. Materialism and spiritualism are opposites, by the way. Socialism is concerned with the proletariat, fascism is concerned with the state. But certainly, people are easily confused because no political ideology holds completely unique beliefs.

Mr. Hood said in his letter “Liberals do love to associate conservatives with Nazis but since facts might muddle the charge they never offer any”. You want facts? Okay, lets look at the facts.

In 1920 and 1921 the Italian streets were filled with protesting workers.

The Italian fascist “blackshirts” were used to crush socialism in any way, disrupting their meetings and committing violence in the streets. Mussolini took advantage of the situation by forming alliances with industrial giants and finally forcing trade unions to crumble and socialists mayors to resign. In 1927, Mussolini gave some rights back to unions as long as they were state or party controlled. Hey, Scott Walker!

In 1933, when Hitler gained dictatorial powers with the “Enabling Act”, he abolished labor unions and replaced them with the Nazi Party’s “Labor Front”. Trade unions were socialist and Hitler, like Mussolini and Franco, hated socialism. Mussolini abolished trade

unions, too. Sound familiar? Hitler used “law and order” to destroy individual rights. Fascists ended collective bargaining rights. Together, Mussolini, Hitler and Franco arrested hundreds of thousands of communists, socialists and democratic socialists because socialism was the enemy of fascism.

Hitler’s fascism emphasized “real Germans” like our right wingers emphasize “real Americans”. Fascists supported laws that would attack any cultural diversity in the press, the arts or radio in Germany. They thought any foreign cultural influence would strip Germany of its soul, so they mounted a cultural war just as our right wingers do. Liberal professors were targeted.

Any use of a non-German language was unpatriotic. Note the vehemence of the English-only crowd.

German Fascism was vehemently anti-immigrant. Mussolini declared universal suffrage was the greatest of lies. If you follow America’s right wing you will notice the harsh anti-immigrant rants. Conservatives also have a long history of opposing universal suffrage from religious equality, abolition and women’s suffrage, to child labor laws, reproductive freedom and gay rights.

In 1936 Hitler and Heinrich Himmler created the bureaucracy, THE REICH OFFICE FOR THE COMBATING OF HOMOSEXUALITY AND ABORTION. The Reich, as soon as it was empowered by dictatorial powers raided every gay business in the nation and shut their doors. Between 1936 and 1939, 100,000 gay men were imprisoned at one time or another.

A Tea Party dream I’d say. What remains of records from concentration camps like Buchenwald evidence the gassing of at least 15,000 gay men. In his speeches, Himmler bragged about pretending to allow gays to escape the camps so they could kill them. In the camps certain doctors were tasked with finding a way to cure gays. One way was to force them to have sex with prostitutes. Straight porn, too, Homosexuals that found themselves in the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Neuengamme were experimented upon by the Danish SS doctor, Carl Vaernet. The SS gave him a research position, a staff, laboratories, financial support, and camp inmates with which to experiment upon. His treatments included castration for the incurable, and hormones for the others. Under the Nazi doctrine of reeducation, Vaernet had developed a hormone implant for homosexuals.

Ring any bells yet?

Fascism was about family values!

Contraception and/or abortion were outlawed by Mussolini, Hitler and Franco. Family planning clinics disappeared. Hitler awarded women with the the Motherhood Cross who had given birth to the largest number of children. Lesser Medals were the Golden Cross for eight children, the Silver Cross for six children, and a Bronze for those who had four children. Four kids! Shanmeful! Mussolini’s government paid extra benefits to the exceptionally reproductive! Are you catching on yet? Women were supposed to be the helpmates and see next page

DEADLY FORCE from page one Wiggin was speaking to the press at meeting hosted by Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams, where they were joined by Detective Jeff Stiegler, president of the New Hampshire Police Association and Belknap County Attorney Melissa Gulbrandsen.

The current law entitles a person to use deadly force, in any location, when he or another is threatened with deadly force as well as if there is a likelihood of deadly force being used to commit a burglary or to forestall a kidnapping or rape. Likewise, deadly force is justified in response to any unlawful force in pursuit of a felony within one’s home or on one’s property. But, the statute further prescribes that a person is not justified to use deadly force to defend himself or another if both can safely retreat, unless he is in his home or on his property.

Senate Bill 88, known as a “stand your ground” law, expands a person’s right to use deadly force by eliminating the obligation to retreat not only in one’s home or on one’s property but also “anywhere he or she has a right to be.”

Wiggin called the bill “a solution in search of a problem,” explaining that the current law ensures the right to use deadly force in self-defense in appropriate circumstances without jeopardizing public safety. “This bill puts the threat of deadly force in the eye of beholder,” he said, adding that by removing the obligation to withdraw, it would encourage armed confrontations in public spaces and place innocent bystanders at risk.

Stiegler offered a half-dozen cases where individuals killed others defending themselves, their homes and their families, stressing that all were found to be justifiable homicides. “You can’t find cases of wrongful prosecution,” he said. “New Hampshire is a gun friendly state with sound laws that hold people accountable. SB-88 would compromise that. This is dangerous. This lethal.”

Gulbrandsen said that the bill would present severe problems for prosecutors. “Self-defense is an affirmative defense,” she said, meaning that it justifies a defendant’s conduct. “The burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove that the defendant did not act in self-defense.”

Gulbrandsen said that in Belknap County the parties in most of the cases involving firearms are felons in unlawful possession of firearms, explaining that without credible witnesses it would be challenging to disprove that a fatal shooting was from preceding page babymakers of men. Before Hitler came into power there were 100,000 female teachers but that ended with Hitler’s rise to power. Women went home until so many of the men were killed they had to go back to work.

If it walks like a goose, its probably a goose.

not justifiable homicide. “They don’t need another loophole,” she said. “There would be lots of he said, she said cases,” she continued. “I would always be asking can I prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was not self-defense.” She anticipated it would be difficult even to bring indictments, much less secure convictions.

“Police won’t be able to tell the good guys from the bad guys,” Stiegler said.

Since Florida became the first state to introduce a “stand your ground” in 2005 the number of cases of justifiable homicide has risen from between 31 and 43 a year from 200o to 2005 to between 93 and 105 from 2007 to 2010. Wiggin said that law enforcement officials in the 31 states with similar statutes report that they have “escalated the use of force by private citizens.”

Wiggin and Stiegler flatly dismissed the claims by Speaker of the House William O’Brien and House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt that opponents of SB-88 sought to restrict the right to bear arms. “These statements by the House leadership are outrageous, offensive and completely untrue,” Wiggin said.

“This is not a gun bill,” insisted Stiegler, “and this is not an effort to restrict the right to bear arms.

This is a public safety issue. The law is not broken,” he continued. “If we need this law, then we need a law for UFOs.” Noting that not a single member of the New Hampshire Senate has ever been party to a homicide investigation or trial, Stiegler expressed the hope that senators would heed the advice of the police and prosecutors steeped in the issues raised by the legislation.

The first vote to override the governor’s veto will be taken in the Senate, where the bill originated.

The bill carried the Senate by a majority of 19 to 5, more than the two-thirds required to override the veto, with all the Republican members voting in favor and all the Democrats against.

With law enforcement officers from across the state, Wiggin and Stiegler have urged Republican senators to uphold the veto. Wiggin said that he had a useful meeting with Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), but Senator Jim Forsythe (R-Strafford) has not responded to him.

Stiegler said that after meeting with Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) later in the day he was “guardedly optimistic that he will be a voice of reason.” he said that Bradley listened and questioned, but remained “noncommittal.”

The Senate will take up the veto on September 7.

IRENE from page one ting North Carolina. Irene could crawl up the coast Sunday toward the Northeast region, where residents aren’t accustomed to such storms.

Officials dusted off evacuation plans and readied for the first hurricane to threaten the U.S. in three years.

It’s been more than a decade since the East Coast has been hit by a major hurricane, considered a Category 3 with winds of at least 111 mph (179 kph).

Though Irene was downgraded to a Category 1 storm on Tuesday with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (145 kph), forecasters believed it would strengthen over warm waters.

“I’m not panicking, but I was born and raised here,” said Peggy Temple, of Wrightsville Beach, N.C. She bought sandbags to protect her first-floor property from flooding.

“I know the drill. You want to be ready, because you can’t be putting up storm shutters with 100 mile an hour winds and torrential rain,” she said.

Nearby, scores of bronzed sunbathers strolled around in bathing suits and towels, soaking up one of the last weeks of the summer tourist season. Traffic was typical for this time of year, with more cars headed toward the beach than away from it, though some vacationers had started canceling weekend hotel reservations.

On Ocracoke Island, tourists and residents were told to leave by Thursday so the island’s ferries wouldn’t be overwhelmed. But many on the 16-milelong barrier island would probably stay, said Tommy Hutcherson, who serves on the local board that issues evacuation orders.

“I’ll be here,” said Hutcherson, who has lived on Ocracoke

Bob Eure, who works at the Island Tackle & Hardware in Carolina Beach, said people streamed in all day, buying flashlights and five-gallon gas cans to fill with water. Others bought fish tackle.

LACONIA — Bob Holbrook, who will be laid to rest with full military honors at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery tomorrow, will be remembered as a perfect gentleman, selfless citizen and playful spirit, who spent most of his 94 years serving and amusing others with a ready smile and twinkling eye.

“He love people and he loved life,” said Carol Trottier, who as finance officer for the city worked alongside Holbrook during much of the 44 years he served as its treasurer before retiring in 2009.

Born in Manchester, he graduated from Keene High School and earned his bachelor’s degree at Springfield College. During World War II he served in the United States Army Corps, schooling pilots on the Link Trainer, a flight simulator and afterwards embarked on a career in banking, beginning at Mechanics Savings Bank in Manchester.

An accomplished musician, Holbrook played his way on the violin into becoming assistant concert master of the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences orchestra. He would become a mainstay of choir at the First Congregational Church of Laconia for 54 years and in his last weeks entertained his fellow residents at the New Hampshire Veterans Home in Tilton by playing the piano and singing in the choir.

Holbrook reached Laconia in 1955 as treasurer of City Savings Bank, where he would become executive vice-president and a trustee. His service to the community was legion. He served as president of Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, campaign chairman of the United Fund, director of the Lakes Region Mental Health Center, chairman of the Lakes Region YMCA, chairman of the Laconia Housing and Redevelopment Authority and treasurer of the Taylor Community for 22 years.

Holbrook’s tenure as city treasurer, was matched to the years by his contribution to the Putnam Lecture Fund, which recently won him the title of “Mr. Putnam Fund.”

In 1981, Holbrook was elected to the first of 12 terms in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, where he served on the Judiciary and Finance committees. As a lawmaker he was revered for his prowess with fiscal issues and sense of fair play, but remembered for his bright, even garish, socks, which he delighted in showing off to his colleagues.

A loyal Republican, Holbrook and his wife Helen

Local developer suing Laconia over denial of project deadline extension

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A local attorney and land developer is suing the city for denying his request for a oneyear extension to complete a residential project off Mile Hill Road.

Philip Brouillard, who is the principal owner of Mountain Lake Village, LLC, says the July decision by the Laconia Planning Board to deny him an extension is illegal and unreasonable and not supported by the evidence.

The board denied Brouillard’s extension request saying he has “not shown a good faith effort to meet the intent of active and substantial development” and that because six years have elapsed since his initial approval there have been several zoning changes including steep slopes, impact fees and cluster development changes.

Brouillard contends his final approval was given in April of 2007 and that he has until April of 2013 to achieve substantial completion as that was the planning ordinance as of the date he got his approval.

To compound Brouillard’s dilemma, Mountain Lake Village is in Belmont as well as Laconia, meaning he has had to negotiate with two different planning boards and water and sewer departments, each with it own specific criteria and demands.

Sixty-three lots are in Laconia and 18 lots are in Belmont.

To date Brouillard said he has gotten alteration of terrain permits valid until July of 2016, wetland permits, and has paid the city $122,300 in site restoration security fees.

Critical to the holdup is an inter-municipal water and sewer agreement between the two communities that Brouillard’s pleading indicates is beyond his ability to affect.

“Producing and obtaining approval of the Inter-Municipal (water and sewer) Agreement has been extremely time consuming, but is in progress,”Brouillard wrote in his appeal to the Belknap County Superior Court.

“This process is not within the control of Mountain Lake Village, LLC,” he continued noting that the Laconia Water Works attorney, Phillip McLaughlin, said he had not attached urgency to the agreement because he assumed the process would be delayed with departure of one city manager and the hiring of another.

Brouillard also claims Mountain Lake Village, LLC has spend around $500,000 in planning and approvals as well as an additional $500,000 in acquisition costs for the 81-lot cluster development.

He also claims that the changes in Laconia’s ordinances since he got his initial approval in 2005 “would make development of its land financially impracticable and (unable to be developed).”

“It would result in the potential loss of millions of dollars in assessed value to the city (of Laconia) , loss of current use tax penalties to the city, and leave the last large parcel close to the center of the city unavailable for moderate income workforce housing which is critically needed,” he said.

He also argues an extension of one year on the Mountain Lake Village projects does no harm to the city.

Brouillard was scheduled to meet with the Belmont Planning Board last night but Town Land Use Manager Rick Ball said his appearance was tabled.

Attorney Laura Spector has filed an appearance on behalf of the city and has until Oct. 6 to file a response to Brouillard’s appeal of the Planning Board’s decision.

As of this writing, Brouillard is representing his company. He was unavailable for comment yesterday, as was Laconia City Planner Shanna Saunders.

BURGLARY from page one door to his home and called 911. Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti said an officer reached the scene “within minutes” and was soon joined by others from Laconia, Sanbornton and Tilton who scoured the neighborhood, but failed to find the suspect.

While police searched and patrolled along Arlene Drive a homeowner on Elaine Drive called 911 shortly after 5 a.m. to report that he found a man on his back porch who fled upon being discovered. Police converged on Elaine Drive and thoroughly searched the area on foot only to come up empty-handed.

A half an hour later, officers on Elaine Drive learned that a resident of Sun Lake Drive woke to find that someone had entered his home before dawn and left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Three hours later police were informed that a home on Arlene Drive had also been burgled and money stolen.

Baiocchetti said that there have been 28 burglaries or attempted burglaries of residences, some of them occupied, in Belmont since June 1. In Laconia, 17 homes have been burgled after dark, most them occupied when the crimes occurred. There have also been four similar burglaries in Sanbornton and two in Gilford.

Baiocchetti said that local police departments are working closely together to apprehend the person or persons responsible and again urged residents to secure and light their homes and to contact the police immediately at the first sign of anyone or anything suspicious, no matter how trivial it may appear.

2 boys organize home run derby; raise $225 for Velasquez Foundation

Home Run Derby organizers Matt LeBlanc and Nathan Batchelder.

(Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — Two local teens last weekend organized a Home Run Derby to raise money for Rich Velasquez Youth Sports Equipment Foundation.

Nathan Batchelder and Matt LeBlanc came up with the idea of a derby while they were at Colby Field hitting baseballs. The two organized the rules, based on how Major League Baseball runs its famous derby, held in conjunction with the annual All-Star Game.

Nathan and Matt wanted to be able to raise money LIBYA from page 2 advance. He had left the rebel-held western city of Misrata just two days earlier.

“I lost friends and relatives and now I can walk into Gadhafi’s house,” Shafiya said, choking up with emotion. “Many of my friends have died and now all of that meant something.”

Tripoli’s new rebel military chief, Abdel-Hakim Belhaj, said at nightfall that a small area of the vast compound was still under the control of regime fighters and heavy shooting was heard across Tripoli toward midnight.

The atmosphere in the compound was a mix of joyful celebration and tension. The air was thick with smoke from the battles, and the boom of mortars and the crackle of gunfire was constant. Rebels chanted “Allahu akbar” or “God is great” and on loudspeakers they cried: “Al-Hamdullilah,” or “Thank God.” As the fighters stormed in, they captured a guard at the gates and threw him to the ground, slamming rifle butts into his back. A hostile crowd gathered around, punching and kicking him until one rebel stepped in, stood over him and kept the crowd at bay. Inside the walls, a few bodies of Gadhafi fighters — one with a gaping head wound from a gunshot — were sprawled on the ground.

and then donate it to the Rich Velasquez Foundation (RVYSEF). They knew of Velasquez from when he umpired Little League and the boys played on Colby field. Nathan also sets up a trading card table at the Sports Cards and Collectible shows hosted by RVYSEF. Nate and Matt worked on getting local supporters to sponsor each of the participants. The sponsor fee was $25 to enter, then for each home run hit it was an additional $1. At the end of round one the batter’s had a chance to get two more points by hitting the golden ball.

There were nine participants and the field was narrowed down to five that moved on to round two.

Then the top two went to the final round to declare a champion. The last two standing were Nathan and Riley Stone. As the final round began, so did the severe weather at Colby field. The event had to stop as lighting was detected in the area. After a wait, it was decided to crown co-champions and Riley and Nathan each received a $25 gift certificates to Piche’s, which were donated by a supporter of RVYSEF. The two teenagers offered a big thank you to Steve Loughlin, who donated his time as our announcer, to Bill Salta for pitching to most of the participants, and to Laconia Little League and its board for allowing them to use the field.

Nathan and Matt raised over $225 for RVYSEF. To find out more about RVYSEF and how you can help, or if you know of a child in need of sporting equipment, visit www.rvysef.org.

Several young men wrenched the head from a statue of Gadhafi and kicked it around. One lifted it above his head while his jubilant comrades danced and yelled around him. Fighters with long beards hugged each other and flashed the “V’’ for victory sign. Others carried injured rebels to ambulances.

A fighter climbed atop the iconic statue of a huge golden fist clenching a model of an American warplane and shot his machine gun in the air in celebration.

The statue stands outside a building that was once Gadhafi’s home, preserved with the pockmarks of an American bombing in 1986 as a symbol of his defiance.

Gadhafi delivered many fiery speeches from the balcony of that house, railing against the West. It was there that he appeared on television six months ago, at the beginning of the uprising, mocking his opponents and saying his supporters would “purify Libya inch by inch, house by house, alley by alley.”

Bab al-Aziziya has since been pummeled many times over by NATO bombings in the air campaign against the regime that began in March.

Thousands of rebels converged on the compound after it was breached, snatching ammunition and arms from depots inside. They found brand-new rifles still in their paper wrappings.

EARTHQUAKE from page 2 said one worker, Marty Wiesner.

Adrian Ollivierre, an accountant who was in his office on the 60th floor when the shaking began, said: “I thought I was having maybe a heart attack, and I saw everybody running. I think what it is, is the paranoia that happens from 9/11, and that’s why I’m still out here — because, I’m sorry, I’m not playing with my life.”

The quake was felt as far north as Toronto, as far west as Indiana and Kentucky and as far south as Atlanta and Savannah, Ga. It was also felt on Martha’s Vineyard off Massachusetts, where President Barack Obama, who is vacationing there, was getting ready to tee off in a round of golf.

The White House said there were no reports of INTER-LAKES from page one

Center in Laconia and the Winnisquam Regional Vocational Agriculture Center in Tilton has dropped to 65-percent of its previous level, accounting for another $82,000 appropriation of local funds.

The board also approved encumbering another $7,700 to reflect fuel oil price increases.

The fund balance, or revenues in excess of expenditures for the 2010-11 school year, which was approximately $614,453, was reduced by $243,7000 by those actions.

The board also voted to place $50,000 of the remaining surplus into a newly established playground expendable trust, returning $320,753 to reduce the 2011 burden that’s passed on to school district taxpayers.

The better part of the meeting was taken up by a discussion of strategic planning issues for the school district, including a presentation by Dr. George Ladd of the Lynch School of Education at Boston College, who suggested that a planning initiative should be guided by a steering committee made up of 10 or 12 members broadly representative of the community, who would work for about six months to develop a plan which would work from general agreed upon principles to develop a five-year plan for the district and three-year plans at the school level.

He said that the plan should reflect the core values of the community and develop a vision for what the schools should be like as well as a mission statement on how those goals would be accomplished.

“How do you keep a five-year plan dynamic and incorporate change?” asked board member Jack Carty of Meredith, to which Ladd replied “give everyone an opportunity to participate and build on what’s good. Rule number one is that it’s about the kids and you should ask them to participate.”

Board vice chairman Howard Cunningham of Sandwich said that he was concerned about “the winnowing process” when it came to selecting members of the streering committee and the strong possibility that many who might want to be involved wouldn’t end up on the committee.

Ladd said that it might be possible to have those interested people who were not named to the steering committee to serve as adjunct, non-voting

major damage to the nation’s infrastructure, including airports and nuclear facilities. Two nuclear reactors at the North Anna Power Station in Virginia were automatically taken off line by safety systems, said Roger Hannah, a spokesman for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The plant is in the same county as the quake’s epicenter, about 80 miles southwest of Washington and 40 miles northwest of Richmond, Va. The Park Service closed all monuments and memorials on the National Mall, and ceiling tiles fell at Reagan National Airport outside Washington.

Many nonessential workers in Washington were sent home for the day. The Capitol was reopened by late afternoon for people to retrieve their things.

At the Pentagon, a low rumbling built until the see next page members who would work with members of the committee in areas of their special interest.

He said that it was important not to leave out outspoken anti-school advocates as it would compromise the effectiveness of the committee from the outset, creating a suspicion that it was “stacked” and damage its ability to reach all segments of the community. But he urged avoiding intransigents who push an ideological point of view.

“People need to be able to work together and compromise, putting the kids first,” he reiterated.

Patricia Kennelly, principal of Inter-Lakes High School, said that long-range planning was also underway at the high school in response to suggestions made in an accreditation report she recently received and which was distributed at last night’s meeting.

She said the report recommended two-year and five-year plans for the high school in order to retain accreditation and said in response to a question from Carty that those plans would dovetail nicely with the strategic planning process that the school board is looking at for the entire district.

Carty said that was a good thing as otherwise the district woud be running on two separate tracks when it came to planning.

Superintendent of Schools Phil McCormack said that one of the summer programs the district worked with, the responsive classroom, was a huge success at the elementary level and is being eyed as a distrct-wide initiative over the next several years.

He said the program deals with bullying, behavior issues and student management and is designed to promote respect.

“We brought a presenter here for a week and it was very positive. Based on the reaction and positive results we’re looking at a second cohort next summer” said McCormack, who said that the program is appropriate through the sixth grade but would need changes before it can be underatken at the high school level.

The board approved a first reading of a technology usage plan and also a technology plan for the school district which will, among other things, encourage teachers to develop their own web pages as an additional learning tool.

No injuries were reported as aftershocks continued Tuesday.

For the most part, the East Coast quake was a curiosity, at least after the initial fear faded away. It disrupted what was, for millions of people, an ordinary workday.

Boston, which finished with 14 hits Tuesday, had already matched its hits total from the opener when Jed Lowrie and Carl Crawford had consecutive singles to start the second. Jarrod Saltalamacchia had an RBI double and Marco Scutaro a sacrifice fly in the inning for a 4-0 lead.

The Red Sox scored two more runs in the third — in a similar fashion though a different order. Josh Reddick and Lowrie had consecutive one-out singles before Crawford had a sacrifice fly and Ryan Lavarnway a run-scoring double.

Scutaro and Dustin Pedroia added two-run doubles off the left-field wall in the eighth against reliever Mark Lowe. Scutaro’s ball ricocheted off the very top of the 14-foot wall and umpires looked at replays to confirm their ruling of the ball being in play after Red Sox manager Terry Francona questioned the call.

Lackey has never particularly enjoyed pitching on the road against the Rangers. He entered with a 6-6 record and a 6.78 ERA in 17 career starts at Texas.

That included nine runs in 3 2-3 innings in the season-opening series, when the Red Sox were swept in three games on the way to an 0-6 start.

Summitt’s first reaction was anger, but that soon gave way to determination.

“She’s ready to fight this and move on,” Cronan said. “She had to come to grips with how she wanted to face it.”

Talking about it was a big step and her son was instrumental in making that happen.

“Tyler has been so courageous in this,” Summitt’s longtime associate head coach Holly Warlick said.

“He encouraged her to come forward.”

LACONIA — When Andrea Condodemetraky and her middle-school son Deano Asprogiannis started planning to supply the school with a stock of toiletries for students whose families weren’t able to purchase they soon found that they were just one of many groups working toward the same goal.

This summer, those groups have coordinated their efforts to ensure that any student in the middle or high school will have access to personal care items.

Starting this school year, bags of free personal care items such as shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, will be available at the nurse’s offices of the middle and high school. Students will be able to receive the items anonymously and without any questions asked.

Condodemetraky and her son started by “extreme couponing,” and when they took their coupons to Walgreen’s, store manager Dan Quinn told them they weren’t alone in their campaign.

The same idea had occurred to Claire Hebert, a marketing associate at Melcher & Prescott Insurance.

Hebert, while organizing a closet, came across a tote bag that she used to collect small bottles of toiletries that she kept for an unknown future use.

The bag had started to overflow, so she thought it was time to find someone who could use it, and since she was going to go through the legwork, she asked co-workers and other contacts to empty their closets, too. The response was robust. As one example, Linda DiRosa, a local Mary Kay director, volunteered to put together 50 packages for young women.

Both Hebert and Condodemetraky were beaten to the punch, though, by Janet Brough, who works at the city’s SAU office, and Mollie Babcock, the

district’s homeless student liaison, who had already developed an agreement with the Walgreen’s manager to build up a stockpile in time for the start of the school year.

Brough said Quinn “has been incredible” in his support of the effort.

Brough first approached Quinn in hopes that he would provide a discounted rate on toiletries for teenagers. No, he told her, the store would provide them at no cost to the district.

On Tuesday, Brough, Hebert and Babcock picked up more than $1,000 in personal care items from Walgreens. The items were brought to the SAU office, where the high school’s volleyball team, coached by Babcock, packed them into bags.

Babcock said it’s difficult to gauge how many students would need help acquiring items such as shampoo, deoderant, shaving cream and toothpaste. Like becoming homeless, students are likely to be embarrassed by such a situation.

For that reason, she said it was important to make the items available as discreetly as possible.

It’s hard enough being a high schooler, she noted. Add financial struggles, even homelessness, and the ability to maintain one’s hygiene becomes critical to a teenager’s psychological well-being. “Think about how it affects a student socially, for their self-esteem,” said Babcock.

The campaign, like the Got Lunch! initiative, “took on a life of its own,” Brough said. “I find in this community, if you ask, people are more than willing to help.

“It’s amazing how the community wants to help the young people here,” said Babcock.

Brough and Babcock don’t know exactly what the level of student need is for personal care items, but believe that they’ll be able to meet it thanks to community support.

10th Annual Multi-Cultural Market Day coming on September 10 LACONIA — The 10th annual Laconia Multicultural Market Day on September 10 will feature music from Bayou country and the Middle East.

Every year several thousands visit Rotary Riverside Park, and the historic Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia to celebrate the diversity of the region.

OffShore Aces, a traditional Cajun band based in New England, is one of the many entertainers for market day. Their lively performance includes five musicians who deliver a rousing mix of twin and triple fiddle, accordion, guitar, bass, frottoir and ti’fer, plus solo and harmony vocals. The quintet has been recognized by Louisiana’s Cajun French Music Association for the authenticity of their style and repertoire.

Olympic Melodies, a band formed in the 1970s, is a newcomer to the festival. The band plays Greek, Armenian, Arabic, and Turkish music. They perform

both as a trio and as a quartet, playing violin, drum, guitar and oud, a watermelon-shaped cousin to the guitar. Greek dancers will add to the atmosphere, encouraging all to join them.

The Scottish Country Dancers, based in Laconia, will present the joys of Scottish dance, with it’s lively reels, jaunty jigs, stately strathspeys, and lilting slow airs.

The elegant strathspey is unique to Scottish music.

Sylvia Miskoe, one of the founding members of the Strathspey and Reel Society of New Hampshire, will play and Susan Haines, an Scottish coutry dance teacher, will lead any who wish to join in the dancing.

The event will feature a wide array of ethnic food, crafts, and exhibits. All entertainment is free of charge.

Multicultural Market Day is hosted by the Laconia Human Relations Committee, Laconia Main Street, Frates Creative Arts Center and the Belknap Mill.

For many years it has been a tradition for Kathy Salanitro of Ox-K farms in Gilford, to take part in the parade and then have her two teams of oxen at the 1838 Rowe House for all to pet and even try leading them. This year, she will be there for approximately an hour after the parade. She was recently crowned Ms. New Hampshire in the Senior American Pageant with her talent being working with children and having them learn about and feel comfortable driving a team of oxen.

MEREDITH — The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s retail gallery will host a “Spirit of the Maker” guitar-making demonstration by master craftsman John Whiteside on Sunday, August 28, 1–3 p,m.

Whiteside, who lives in Fremont, became the first person to be juried into the League as an acoustic guitar maker last year. His guitars are custom designed and built for individual buyers, based on their hand size, aesthetic tastes, playing style, favorite music, and, where appropriate, are voiced to compliment their singing. “Although my guitars are physically beautiful, a great deal of my skill goes into insuring the best possible sound. Lighter construction and hand-tuned plates and braces insure a vibrancy, shimmer, complexity, and depth of sound that cannot be matched by factory-made guitars,” says Whiteside.

He retired from a high-stress corporate career to pursue woodworking and lutherie (guitar making), and graduated from the Homestead Woodworking School in Newmarket.

He has made custom period furniture in Queen Anne and Shaker styles and in 2006-2007 studied see next page

Boy Scout Troop 68, Laconia Thanks you for your continued support!

olfy lives up to his name: an Elkhound, well suited actually to life in New Hampshire where we really only enjoy two weeks of summer. With a thick lush coat the colour of salt and pepper – Mr. Wolfy enjoys cooler climes. But this should not be read as “okay to live outside his whole life” no indeed, Wolfy needs to be part of a human pack he will not appreciate being separated from his humans.

Obsessed with catch and retrieve, Wolfy will bring back the tennis ball until you cannot throw it anymore.

He’s completely focused on the game.

The Elkhound originates from Scandinavia. Wolfy’s ancestors were used for hunting and guard work with the Vikings, this should give an insight into his intelligent, independent nature, while still making

him a good choice for anyone who is energetically committed to owning him.

Although his breed usually makes a good family dog, Wolfy has not grown up amongst small children – now about five years old, he would

be a better family fit with older children and teenagers.

Shelter is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Closed to the public: Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays.. check www.nhhumane.org for more details.

RE/MAX balloon making appearance at Bristol, Gilford old home days this Saturday MEREDITH — On Saturday, August 27 RE/MAX Bayside is sponsoring hot air balloon rides in the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon, at two locations in the Lakes Region.

Laconia Academy classes offering second chance for diploma open next week

LACONIA — Classes at Laconia Academy, the adult evening high school diploma program in the Lakes Region, start next week.

“This program provides adults with a second chance to earn a high school diploma,” says Peggy Selig, program director., who encourages anyone interested in enrolling for the Fall semester or learning more about the program to call 524-5712 or stop in at the Laconia Adult Education Office in Room 108 at Laconia High School.

The Fall semester 2011 courses offered include: Chemistry & Lab, Cool Math!, As The Page Turns, Reading & Writing Insights, Pathways To Literature, Algebra I, Terrible Lizards, Pop Culture Myths, Math Concepts/Pre-Algebra, American Government, and Human Biology/Lab. Laconia Academy also enables in-school youths, enrolled in day high school programs, to take courses at night if they have failed classes during the day. With the principal’s permission, youths may enroll at Laconia Academy. This cooperation with local area high schools helps prevent 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.

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

Laconia Savings Bank has established limited scholarship help for those students demonstrating financial need. This scholarship help will enable students to return to school at night and complete their high school education or earn a GED Certificate.

Laconia Savings Bank, in conjunction with their Community Reinvestment (CRA) Plan, is offering limited scholarship help to residents of Laconia, Gilford, Meredith, Center Harbor and Moultonborough.

In recent years 1,148 Lakes Region area adults have earned their high school diploma through Laconia Academy. from preceding page string instrument making and repair from master luthier Alan Carruth of Newport.

Whiteside finds that lutherie fosters a Zen-like mindful and grateful approach to each moment of life. Besides building custom guitars to order, Whiteside also teaches guitar making. He also enjoys playing contemporary folk and bluegrass music on his guitars.

The Meredith Retail Gallery is located on Rte. 3 next to the Inn at Church Landing. For more information, call the Meredith Gallery at 279-7920, email nhcraft@metrocast.net, or visit www.nhcrafts.org.

The balloon will be at Bristol Old Home Day from 8–10 a.m. and then relocate to Gilford Old Home Day from 5-7 p.m.

Tethered rides in the 70-foot-tall balloon will be offered with proceeds from the rides donated to charities in the Lakes Region.

The RE/MAX balloon is one of the most recognized corporate images in the world with more than 100 hot air balloons carrying the distinctive red, white and blue RE/MAX trademark. The balloon rides have helped raise millions of dollars for charitable organizations like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Children’s Miracle Network and The Sentinels of Freedom Foundation.

For more information about the balloon appearance on August 27 call or stop by RE/MAX Bayside at 208 Daniel Webster Highway, Meredith, 2790079, or 423 Main Street, Laconia, 527-8200.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis try to do everything, you can’t expect to be the best at anything. You will earn money and a stellar reputation when you specialize. Focus on one thing, and master it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In daydreams, you can skip over the facts like a flat stone can skip over the lake.

It’s better that way. If you can imagine the important parts, you can make them happen despite the obstacles.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There’s so much you want to do, and it may seem like the slow pace of those around you is keeping you from accomplishing all that you want to achieve.

Practice giving your patience and compassion like a gift.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). An outsider will notice something about your life or routine that you didn’t see before. You’ll take in this information and do something remarkable because of it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Preconceived notions are the enemy of creativity. You will be flexible and open to doing things in a new way. If it’s obvious that the new way is not going to work, you may still give it a try just to be a good sport.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 24).

There’s an easygoing energy around you that makes people open up and give. Creative juices are flowing through October, and you’ll take one idea straight to the bank. People you meet next month will help you structure your life to reach your goals. An exciting friend will be your partner in a winter adventure. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 35, 9 and 20.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A friend will rise to your call on any occasion.

You depend on this person for a kind of therapy, to put you in touch with the wiser part of yourself and get life back in balance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Usually, personal growth happens in times of transition and change. But not always.

There’s a feeling that you’re coasting, maintaining the status quo. But inside, a new incarnation is stirring.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The hand you are dealt may not seem to add up to anything that will win the game, but put on your poker face and pretend it’s a good hand anyhow. Your bluff may very well take you further than a good hand would have.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s like you are hiking upward on steep, slippery terrain. No one is forcing you to keep going, but you climb on anyway.

Your desire to reach the top is strong.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your story may not be written on the pages of a book, but maybe it should be. Jot down a few notes about what you’ve been through. You’ll get clarity and will better appreciate your journey.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have to have all the answers.

All you have to do is ask the right questions. Don’t ask everything that comes to mind, though. Choose carefully because today’s opportunities for inquiry are limited.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In today’s race, the starting gun goes off, and you run in the opposite direction of the finish line. Perhaps this is not a mistake, but weird wisdom taking over. Is this really a race worth running?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you

White Mountain National Forest history session Friday at Castle in the Clouds

MOULTONBOROUGH — A Weeks Celebration evening, a nature walk, a photography show and all the usual attractions of Castle in the Clouds combine to make for an exciting end of August at Moultonborough’s crown jewel.

On Friday, August 26 at 5:30 p.m. the final Weeks Act celebration evening explores the connection between some of New Hampshire’s early environmental champions and the creation of the White Mountain National Forest, indeed of most of the protected lands of the eastern United States.

Marcia Schmidt Blaine of Plymouth State University will focus on Concord’s Joseph B Walker and the Forest Society’s presents Phillip Ayres, two of the many men and women who worked tirelessly to find ways to protect New Hampshire’s denuded and burned forests, culminating in the passage of the Weeks Act in 1911. Entrance for this free, public event is by Ossipee Mountain Road.

The nature walk at Castle in the Clouds on Monday, August 29, at 10 a.m. will feature Rick Van de Poll, who returns with an exploration of natural communities, including old growth forests, at the Castle property.

Van de Poll will be back on September 5 again for his wildly popular Mushroom walk.

All Walks and Talks are free with grounds pass purchased at the main gate. Participation is limited; to be sure of a spot, arrive early.

The latest art show, “Lucknow and its Landscape” at the Carriage Festival Sponsors House Art Gallery will run through the end of August.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, August 24, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: We live in a small rural area. We love the community, school, church, etc., but I am sad for my daughter.

“Tess” is a junior in high school. About six months ago, one friend became angry with her for some reason and managed to get the rest of their group to ostracize her, as well. It breaks my heart that Tess no longer has friends. She sits home night after night. It also makes me angry that one girl can have so much control over other people. This is just like bullying.

And those who allow this to happen are just as guilty as she is. Shame on them.

As a parent, I want to jump in and let them know how hurtful they are being to my daughter, but I realize it will only make things worse. What can I do? -- Hurting for My Daughter Dear Hurting: This is not “just like” bullying. It absolutely is bullying. Some of these things resolve themselves over time, although six months is a long wait. Did Tess do something for which an apology would help? Could Tess meet with the ringleader privately and come to an understanding?

If no reconciliation is possible, please encourage Tess to find new friends both in and out of school -- perhaps at church or through sports groups. She also can check kidshealth.org to find better ways to cope. She should not be moping around at home. And if these “mean girls” are verbally or physically nasty to Tess, you should report it to the principal and make sure they are held accountable for their behavior.

Dear Annie: I have a circle of friends I’ve known since high school. One of them, “Aiden,” has the foulest mouth imaginable. Back then, we all thought it was hysterical that someone could fit in six or more f-bombs per sentence. We used to imitate him, and I’m sure he thought we were impressed by this ability.

We are all adults now with children, but his potty mouth continues. Aiden thinks nothing of swearing continuously in front of his own children and anyone else’s. Worse, he dominates every conversation and speaks louder than anyone else.

Over the years, this has alienated him from us and kept him from being invited to our get-togethers. My wife and I are the only ones who keep in touch with Aiden, but after an hour or so of his foul language, we make our excuses to leave. Could this be an obsessive-compulsive disorder? -Heard Enough Dear Heard: It’s more likely an ingrained bad habit that Aiden hasn’t had the energy or desire to fix. You should tell Aiden that his language has become unbearable and he needs to work on it. If you still want to stay in touch, you can see him less often and without your children.

Dear Annie: Here’s my story about the effectiveness of counseling. When my girls were young, my husband wore cowboy boots. Every night when he came home, he would yell, “Pull my boots!” It was quite an ordeal to get them off, so when the girls heard him coming, they would make a hasty retreat to their rooms and I was the one who got stuck.

It was a real bone of contention, and I didn’t know how to handle it, so I went for counseling. The counselor had me try behavior modification -- when I had pulled off his boots a certain number of times, he was supposed to do something nice for me. Yeah, right.

One day, I walked by a store that sold Western gear and found a boot puller. I had never heard of it before. I bought it, and the problem was solved. The girls are long gone, and my husband has passed away, but the boot puller is still on the floor by the door. -- Rapid City, S.D.
