BELMONT — The bridge spanning the Tioga River on Church Street is closed indefinitely after the state Department of Transportation determined it was unsafe after an inspection Thursday morning. Selectman Ron Cormier said the DOT inspectors performed a routine inspection on the bridge Thursday and by noon Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin had fax
After Beaudin got the notice Thursday, he said selectmen held an emergency meeting, ordered the bridge closed and barricaded, and instructed Beaudin to contact one of the engineering firms the town has previously employed for other projects for an evaluation. He said there is engineering money available in the Public Works Department budget. He also said there is about see BRIDGE page 14

He said after learning of the December report, Beaudin immediately filed for State Bridge Aid and Cormier said the bridge was added to the state funding list for the year 2020.

Gov. Lynch declares West Nile health threat in 45 towns
CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch on Friday declared that a public health threat exists in nearly four dozen New Hampshire communities where mosquito batches have tested positive for West Nile virus. The declaration allows the communities to take measures, including spraying, to decrease the threat to public health. Earlier this week New Hampshire health officials reported the first human case of West Nile virus in two years. The Manchester adult is recovering from the virus, health officials said. Spraying began Thursday in Manchester — one of 45 communities named by Lynch as being at risk. Most of the communities are in the seacoast region and from Manchester south. Health Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas told Lynch West Nile activity this year has increased significantly in the Northeast. The infected mosquitoes were found in see WEST NILE page 14

Police kill gunman at base of Empire State Building NEW YORK (AP) — Jeffrey Johnson hid behind a car in his business suit and tie near the Empire State Building, waiting for the man he blamed for costing him his job. He put a gun to the executive’s head and fired five times, then walked off with his briefcase into the morning rush of midtown Manhattan. Minutes later, Johnson was dead in front of the landmark skyscraper, killed by police Friday in a chaotic confrontation
that sent bullets ricocheting, wounded nine other people and left sidewalks near one of the world’s best-known landmarks spattered with blood. Police released dramatic surveillance video that showed the confrontation lasted only a few seconds. Johnson was walking rapidly down the street trailed by two police officers when he stopped, wheeled around and pulled out a gun. About a dozen people ran for their lives,
including two small children who were just feet away from Johnson. He pointed the gun at the officers, who quickly fired at him. Johnson dropped his briefcase, fell to his knees and then collapsed on the ground. The bystanders likely were hit by police officers’ stray gunfire, some of it bullets that rebounded off planters in front of the skyscraper and grazed pedestrians. The two officers fired 16 shots.

Doping agency erases Lance Armstrong’s 7 Tour de France titles (AP) — The champagne toasts on the Champs-Elysees and the two-fingered “V’’ for victory signs he flashed while pedaling to the finish line. The excruciating mountain climbs and the explosions of power that pushed him past other heaving cyclists on narrow Alpine roads. The legions of fans wearing yellow Livestrong bracelets cheering on the cancer survivor whose grit and determination gave them hope.
Faded images are all that remain of the unprecedented cycling career of Lance Armstrong. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency erased the rest of it on Friday. It wiped out 14 years of Armstrong’s career — including his record seven Tour de France titles — and barred him for life from the sport after concluding he used banned substances. USADA said it expected cycling’s governing body to take similar action, but the
International Cycling Union was measured in its response, saying it first wanted a full explanation of why Armstrong should relinquish Tour titles he won from 1999 through 2005. The Amaury Sport Organization, which runs the world’s most prestigious cycling race, said it would not comment until hearing from the UCI and USADA. The U.S. agency contends the cycling body is bound by the World Anti-Doping Code to strip see ARMSTRONG page 16

‘Clean energy’ now Obamaspeak for crony capitalism Breaking news: The Fishwrap of Record has finally discovered that the Obama administration gives its Chicago corporate pals special access to power and regulatory favoritism. On Thursday, The NotSo-New York Times published an A-1 story titled “Ties to Obama Aided in Access for Big Utility.” Everyone, put on your shocked faces! “With energy an increasingly pivotal issue for the Obama White House,” the Times intoned, “a review of Exelon’s relationship with the administration shows how familiarity has helped foster access at the upper reaches of government and how, in some cases, the outcome has been favorable for Exelon.” You mean Hope and Change was all smoke and mirrors? Well, knock me over with a feather and call me Grandpa Daley! White House press flack Jay Carney played dumb when asked about the report, which detailed “an unusually large number of meetings with top administration officials at key moments in the consideration of environmental regulations that have been drafted in a way that hurt Exelon’s competitors.” “I’m not sure what the issue is, frankly,” Carney told the Beltway press corps. Carney, a former Time magazine journalist who pointedly reminded his former media colleagues that he “was a reporter,” apparently forgot all the connectthe-dots training he got at his oncehallowed publication. The issue, dear Carney, is favortrading and access-peddling. Government for the cronies, by the cronies and of the cronies. The Times spelled it out: “I would like to get some treatment in Washington like that,” Ken Anderson, general manager at Tri-State G and T, a Colorado-based power supplier that has been at odds with Exelon over environmental regulations, told the paper. “But Exelon seems to get deference that I can’t get.” As I noted back in January in my column on Obama’s green robber barons, my scouring of White House visitor logs showed nine visits from Illinois-based Exelon’s CEO John
Rowe, who met with the president and former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel multiple times. The clean energy company’s deep ties had already been illuminated by several other business publications, including Forbes and Crain’s. Frank M. Clark, the veteran lobbyist who runs Exelon’s Commonwealth Edison, the largest electric utility in Illinois, is a top Obama adviser and fundraiser dating back to the former community organizer’s Illinois State Senate days. Longtime Obama campaign guru David Axelrod worked as a consultant to Exelon. And Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel helped create Exelon — where he raked in more than $16-million over two years. Carney’s boss once made it a central hobbyhorse of his presidential campaign. When he announced his presidential intentions in 2007, candidate Obama decried “the cynics, the lobbyists, the special interests who’ve turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.” He indignantly singled out “the best bundlers” who get the “greatest access” to power. ComEd’s Clark bundled at least $200,000 for Obama in 2008 and at least $100,000 for the 2012 cycle, and forked over nearly $30,000 more to committees supporting Obama. Earlier this year, Obama acknowledged raising at least $74-million through his team of big-time bundlers who have been showered with access, tax dollars and plum patronage positions. It’s taken four years for the media lapdoggies to call out the Naked Emperor of Chicago-on-thePotomac. Better late than never, ya think? I hear the crackerjack reporters at ye Olde York Times may be planning a special in-depth investigative series on the president’s dirty D.C. business-as-usual administration slated to run sometime after Election Day. They could call it “Culture of Corruption: Obama’s Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks and Cronies.” Oh, wait...

I’m sorry we had to cancel Meredith forum on public education To the editor, My sincere apologies to anyone who took the time to come out either to the Meredith Community Center or Hart’s restaurant last night to hear a public forum on public education in N.H. Our committee did our best to notify all papers and attendees that the
event was cancelled due to a change in the speaker’s schedule. I understand how packed our schedules are and I am sorry for the confusion which occurred. Kate Miller, Co-Chair Meredith-Center Harbor Democratic Committee
LETTERS Capitalism requires a moral society & people taught hose values To the editor, Webster’s Dictionary defines the words “necessity or necessary” among other things as follows: the quality or state or fact of being in difficulties or in need; being reduced to the most abject poverty; items of food, clothing, shelter, medical care, equipment or furnishings that cannot be done without; things that must be had as for the preservation and reasonable enjoyment of life. When we speak of poverty, I believe there is also “poverty of the mind” and the inability to distinguish between “needs or wants”. It would be much easier for the young to live in a society of fewer privileged circumstances without the constant temptation of being exposed to the variety of material goods and yearning after them. Therefore, they must be taught that there cannot be instant gratification for those desired items without the proper means of acquiring them. Those means consist of funds attained through labor or the methodical savings of money gifts received over a period of time. Parents who automatically give in to their children’s wishes without the requirement that they participate in the “means” of acquisition do them a disservice. Poverty of mind comes from the habitual practice of being provided for without thought processes being engaged of learning self-reliance. We have heard said “don’t give people a fish but teach them how to fish”. Poverty comes from making bad choices or from natural disasters, wars or illness. Those that have learned to fish
will overcome their difficulties in time through self-reliance and hard work. The others will wait for society to provide for them. However, society or government will not be able to keep them at the same standards of living as those that take care of themselves. Even if their needs are taken care of, they will naturally clamor to have their “wants” also being satisfied. Politicians have always availed themselves of this knowledge and used it for their own purposes. As more and more people are taught to believe that they are in poverty through no fault of their own and it is their right to expect from others to be taken care of, the combined wealth of society will be diminished. Wealth is created by active participation in producing goods and services. Transferring that wealth to the non-producers will not help anyone other than the politicians. The blame for declining personal wealth does not lie only at the door of politicians. Our system of capitalism is the best yet devised by mankind to allow for the highest living standards possible. But this can only be achieved if it is combined with adhering to articles in our Constitution and those attached thereto. Capitalism requires a moral society and people steeped in being taught those values. The proper education of all its citizens is a prerequisite to a well-functioning civilization. Politician cannot change our society. Only we, each individual, can transform it by being the very best we can be. Karin Valade Laconia
Concerned citizens could sign up to watch how classroom works To the editor, Lots has been said and written about the difficulty teachers face in our public schools but few opinions are based on observation. Parents are concerned that their children aren’t being properly educated but most cannot substantiate their claims based on knowledge of the actual learning process. Some clarity could be added to the education concerns if an unobtrusive observer were present in each classroom. The plan would make it mandatory for every parent to spend
at least one day during the school year sitting in a classroom watching the interaction between teacher and students. No parent should be excused from this obligation. I can’t imagine any parent refusing to devote a single day each year to their child’s education. Concerned citizens could sign up to spend time watching how a classroom works. With reasonable community participation and proper scheduling it should be possible to have a single interested observer in see next page

With hurricane coming, God must be paying attention to Romney
To the editor, I am a conservative Republican candidate for N. H. State Senate in District – 7 (Franklin, Laconia, Gilford, Northfield, Belmont, Canterbury, Webster, Andover, Salisbury, and Boscawen) I signed the traditional tax pledge and as long as I am your senator I will not vote to approve a broad based sales or income tax — period. The traditional tax cap pledge is useful to varying degrees but it is simply not enough. As is typically the case, default “tax cap” budgets continuously increase by the rate of inflation. In the mean time, the taxpayers, who are ultimately responsible for satisfying those yearly increases, have seen their family income decrease during these economically challenging times. As your senator, my focus will be at the heart of our current major problem, SPENDING. To lower taxes for New Hampshire families we must continue to lower our level of state
To the editor, Mitt Romney’s lies are manifest, as has been pointed out by the good doctor from Laconia. Perhaps someone who is more technically savvy than I, should start a Website noting your favorite Romney lie. My favorite of the many, many lies the mittiot tells is the one involving that high-school kid Mitt claims he didn’t think was “gay”. And on one point he is correct. He probably didn’t think the kid was “gay”, he most likely called him “queer”’ or “fag”, or the ever popular at the time “homo”. So no he didn’t think the kid was “gay” because the term had yet to come into popular use at that time. Ann Romney is praised for making the choice to be a stay at home mom, as she should be and certainly deserves a great deal of credit for doing so. My mom didn’t have that choice, both my parents were hard working individuals, as I am sure Mrs. Romney was. But of course she had advantages my mom didn’t have, good for her. I don’t begrudge any one anything, nor would I trade my upbringing with anyone else, rich or poor. But I must take exception with something Mrs. Romney said about their dog on the roof of the car. Sure Mrs. Romney, the dog my well have liked being strapped to the roof of the car, but most people would never do such a thing because they are smarter than their pets. If you are one of those numerous Republicans who apparently believe in the rape-spermicide fairy god-mother, you might as well have whoever is read-
from preceding page every classroom each day of the school year. It’s probably not necessary to mention that the presence of a classroom observer might have a positive influence on both the teacher and students. Could anyone validly suggest someone watching classroom activity hinders or impedes the education process? Tom Becker Laconia
spending. Reducing spending is the most reliable way to help control the growth of government and ultimately our ever-increasing rates of taxation. With spending at its current levels and the continuing acceptance of more long term liabilities our financial system is becoming unsustainable. We need changes sooner rather than later. The longer we wait the more expensive it will become. With Republican control of our Legislature, progress was made last biennium but we must continue this trend. More importantly it is the duty of legislators to keep the public involved in understanding this process. I ask you to join me so that together we may all become well informed State Spending Hawks. I pledge to find real solutions and eliminate budget inefficiencies. In doing so I look to create a system in which you may follow closely in my fight. As your senator I will develop a “Sources and Uses of Funds Statement” (something I used in the field of finance). It will provide clear analysis as to what the state is spending our money on and how efficiently those funds are utilized. Additionally I will utilize my experience in education, health care, and veterans affairs to make the informed, tough decisions that a state senator needs to make. I ask for your support in the September 11th Republican Primary. Bill Grimm Franklin
ing this to you stop now. I’m going to get seriously serious; imagine if you can, the catastrophe of a Republican win; now can you imagine a woman in your life being pregnant? Then she tells you that her doctor told her if she carries the baby to full term, both she and the baby will die. You would have to say that it is too bad because abortion is now illegal under any circumstance. From as far back as I can remember, the gun loving folks have been saying that one person or the other was coming for your guns, and yet they all still have their guns. They even came out with that silly bumper-sticker. Well I’ve come up with a bumpersticker someone might like to produce; “You can keep your guns, you can keep your trickle, you can keep your vouchers, I’ll take a good paying union job”. Just one more thing and I will finish this letter. On the Fourth of July, Mitt Romney was in Wolfeboro, right? Well, that day my family and I were tracking a severe thunder storm cell as it made it’s way from Wolfeboro to Belmont. I’ve been trough a tropical storm and the storm that day was worse, shorter but worse. Now we are a few days away from the Republican convention and Florida is bracing for what could be a category one hurricane. Huh, isn’t that something. Wasn’t it not too long ago that Republicans were blaming the bad behavior of liberals for natural disasters. God must really be paying attention Marty Valengavich Belmont

Celebrity sightings, N.H. style When I heard that Ron Palillo had died, aka Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter, a little ripple of nostalgia rolled through me. This is strange to admit considering I was a Vinnie Barbarino fan — like most boys my age who had the Farrah Faucett poster (you know the one — tiny red bathing suit, really big smile), I had the John Travolta poster — his eyes the exact color of his chambray shirt, which was unbuttoned just so. But despite the Lakes Region’s status as a top tourist destination — Funspot! The Weirs! Ellacoya! — what more could you possibly need? Gilford, New Hampshire was sorely lacking in celebrity presence in the pre-On Golden Pond years of the late seventies. We all knew Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) spent his summers on Winnipesaukee, but who knew where? And unless he spontaneously began speaking in metered rhyme, would we even be able to distinguish him from all the other old white-haired guys in floppy fishing hats and short-sleeved plaid shirts? Probably not. So when Ron Palillo signed on to perform for the Lakes Region Playhouse in the summer of 1978, it was quite the event. He arrived in style, coming in by float plane to the boat docks by the Burger King on Union Avenue, and I watched the interview he gave on WMUR, thinking, “That’s the Burger King boat docks, right there on TV! The boat docks from the town where I live! And there’s Horshack, at the boat docks, right there in the town where I live!” The next day, there was Horshack again, on the front page of the local paper, with pictures of the huge crowd that had turned out to see him. Do I remember the play he was in? No. Do I remember what he said on WMUR or in The Citizen? No again. So why did any of this matter? I think it had something to do with the fact that back then New Hamp-
shire didn’t seem to exist anywhere except beneath my feet and before my own eyes, and that never seemed quite good enough. In elementary school, we sang “This Land is Your Land,” but Woody Guthrie’s America stretched only from California to the New York Islands. It did not extend to us. And while New Hampshire does have exactly 9 1/2 miles of coastline, the phrase “from sea to shining sea” never seemed to apply to us either. Having yet to discover John Irving or Grace Metalious or Ernest Thompson’s On Golden Pond, I had never read about New Hampshire in books, and I’d never seen it on television except for those newscasts on WMUR, which hardly seemed to count. To have anyone who had some connection to the world at large come to our state was a big event, worthy of news coverage. It meant we existed, we were here. Of course this Horshack business all happened before I knew anything about the presidential primaries, discovering that New Hampshire existed for the rest of the country at least once every four years. After all, in elementary school a TV star trumped everything and everyone else. But now I understand the privilege of living in a place that exists under the radar and out of reach — we may still have our tourist draws like Funspot and Weirs Beach and we may still be inundated with bikers once a year every June — but we also enjoy great solitude in our state’s dark woods or quiet ponds, a blessing if ever there was one. Still, when I read of Ron Palillo’s passing, I can’t help but remember of how important it is when we’re young to look for anything at all to validate our presence. Though he was considered one of the lesser Sweathogs, Ron Pailillo did that for me way back when. (Kate Flaherty is a writer and essayist from Gilford.)
Grafton Co. taxpayers will be saving money thanks to Martha Richards To the editor, I am writing to help you become better acquainted with Martha Richards, who is seeking election this fall to a seat on the Grafton County Commission representing District 3. Ms. Richards held this seat from 2006-2010. In early 2008, the county budget called for an appropriation of $600,000 for heating fuel to provide heat and hot water for the Grafton County complex in North Haverhill. The commissioners were understandably dismayed, and Martha Richards deserves a lot of credit for having the gumption to do something about it. She issued an invitation for volunteers to serve on an energy committee to investigate all available options for the county to reduce costs and boost the local economy. A variety of county citizens responded, from builders and engineers to small business owners and renewable energy proponents. The group met regularly for a year, invited in many experts in the energy field for
presentations, and assisted in directing a biomass feasibility study. Ms. Richards led a presentation to the County Delegation in February 2009 on a recommendation for a biomass heating plant that would reduce fuel costs by more than 50-percent. Due to the expensive and time consuming correctional facility project that was under construction at that time, the biomass proposal was shelved. After an unsuccessful bid for re-election to the commission, Ms. Richards demonstrated admirable determination and leadership by continuing to advocate for the biomass project, which was approved earlier this year by unanimous votes from the Commission and also the Delegation. The end result is that Grafton County taxpayers will be saving money while contributing to a stronger local economy, a cleaner environment, and energy independence. David Van Houten Bethlehem

LETTERS Here are 10 great reasons to vote for our incumbent president? To the editor, Are these the reasons why someone would vote for Barack Obama? 1. Would it be because they are so much better off now than the day Obama took office? 2. Would it be because gasoline is now $3.75 a gallon and going to FOUR BUCKS by election day based on futures trading activity. Obama personally scuttled the Keystone pipeline because we didn’t need the oil or the 100,000 jobs direct and indirect — many, high-paying blue collar jobs, the kind America is now starved for. 3. Would it be because Obama has created the most divided, divisive, hostile and vindictive electorate in a century. Obama promised change.... and sure enough things got worse! 4. Would it be for the $4-trillion in new Obama debt that will be paid for by lower living standards enjoyed by your children and grand children. Democrats OVER PROMISED and are now in a box. They cannot deliver on those promises without killing the economy and killing job creation. America now sounds exactly like GREECE five years ago. The Greeks refused modest austerity requirements then and now require gut wrenching, economy wrecking cuts for their delay. Greek government employees would rather burn down Athens that agree to pay and benefit cuts. America witnessed the same EXACT attitude in Wisconsin with teachers’ unions. Public employees REFUSE AUSTERITY and will demonize and even threaten the lives of those who demand it. Scott Walker required round the clock body guards. 5. Would it be because Obama has produced the slowest, weakest and most anemic recovery since the Second World War? 6. Would it be for his unbroken record of 42 straight months of unemployment above 8-percent? He promised “ shovel ready ones and 6-percent if we passed his stimulus”. What the hell happened?
It must be Bush’s fault! Obama sure will not man up to it. Leadership not by power point, but FINGER POINT! 7. Would it be because Obama unleashed every government agency in his control from the EPA to the National Labor Relations Board to thwart business interests at every turn with new rules regulations. Example: There are 17 different formulations of gasoline mandated by GOVERNMENT. If there is a pipeline disruption in Phoenix gasoline from Tucson can not be used to fill the supply disruption to keep prices lower because they each have different mandated formulas. It is simply OVER REGULATION that cost consumers tens of billions annually and this is just one TINY example of it. 8. Would it be because, unlike Bill Clinton, Obama continually refuses at all costs to the country to negotiate compromise and progress forward for the American people. If there is no Obama compromise on the January fiscal cliff the Congressional Budget office said yesterday there will be another recession for 2013. America is on the slippery slope to economic oblivion and Obama keeps increasing the velocity. 9. Would it be because Obama would be the first president to have Americas credit down graded in all of history. 10. Would it be for the 70 billion dollar GM bailout that taxpayers are likely to take a 25 billion “hit” on. GM stock is in the toilet and has lost a third of it’s value since it began trading. GM is moving the really high paying engineering jobs to China to show their appreciation to us all. The SEWER style, Obama bankruptcy law Shanghai — in order to wetkiss GM unions in the bailout — will act forever as classic prima facia EVIDENCE for Republicans to illustrate exactly to the non-GM PUBLIC what scum bag, slime ball, CRONY POLITICS looks like.

Mr. Lamb knows what he wants to do, his constituents be damned To the editor, The difference between a public forum and a debate in the political world is that a public forum is moderated by an individual (usually someone from the media) who asks the candidates questions submitted by the public and a debate is moderated by an individual or group of individuals that asks the candidates questions originating from themselves, which may or may not be the questions the public want to know. I noticed the recent article about Mr. Lamb scheduling debates and choosing the moderators without coordinating with Jeanie Forrester. I wonder if he is using the same tactics that the Commission of Presidential Debates is using the ex-wife of the Chairman of the FCC, who was appointed by Obama. The Commission is also made up with individuals that worked with Michelle Obama at Sidley & Austin, LLP prior to her becoming First Lady. Why is Mr. Lamb acting like the Commission of Presidential Debates in choosing the debate moderators; do they want rig the debates? I haven’t been able to get an answer to any of my questions from Mr. Lamb, which makes me wonder how responsive to my problems he will be, if elected. I know from experience that I can contact Senator Jeanie Forrester anytime
and she will do her best at addressing my issues. She does not run and hide when I ask her a question. I had a problem with HHS and DCYF in the way they were providing health services to my foster daughters. I sent an e-mail asking for help and I not only received a phone call response but I also had a meeting with officials from HHS and DCYF where the issue was addressed and taken care of. I just can’t trust that Mr. Lamb would do the same. I am not even sure that I would be able to contact Mr. Lamb to request help since he seems to hide from the public when they might ask him a question he doesn’t like. He should know that the public is seeing his refusal to cooperate and compromise. It looks to me that Mr. Lamb has preconceived notions of what he wants to do if elected and be damned with what his district wants or needs. I hope that all of the voters in District 2 feel like I do. I want a senator that is able to represent all the constituents of the district and is not afraid of answering questions. I want a senator who will listen to the issues and is willing to make the tough decisions to do what is in the best interest of their district. This is exactly what we have right now with Senator Jeanie Forrester. Greg Knytych New Hampton
Europeans should defend themselves, they don’t need our aid To the editor, Rarely do I agree on things political with my friend and neighbor Bill Whalen. However, recently Bill wrote about wanting our U.S. expenditures on foreign aid to be reduced. He advised contacting Sec. of State Clinton about this. That’s appropriate, as it’s the State Department, jointly with the Department of Defense (DOD), that governs foreign aid related to security and military-issues. In May, the conservative Cato Institute, because of the NATO Conference in Chicago, said, “now is the time to end this foreign aid to wealthy European countries. The Europeans have a GDP 10 times as large as that of Russia. Europe’s population is three times as big. The Europeans should defend themselves.” Chunks of foreign aid are in the form of military goods. Aren’t we helping escalate confrontations, circulating so much
U.S.-made armaments and weapon delivery systems on our planet? Time to halt that; more than time to halt spending on over 700 military bases in over 100 countries. Time to halt giving 58-percent (proposed 2012 fiscal year spending) of our discretionary budget to the Pentagon. In the August-month reading in my Old Farmer’s Almanac is this quotation: “One generation builds the street on which the next generation will walk.” We irresponsibly set up our next generations to engage in military conflicts as if they are inevitable. Bill, I agree with you on wanting our U.S. expenditures on foreign aid to be reduced, as too much goes to fomenting war. I want that street, for my grandchildren’s generation, to be productive and Earth-sensitive and sane. Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton
Bad things will happen if failed economic theory allowed back in To the editor, Every four years Americans come together to vote for the president, senators and House Representatives. Much has been spoken and written on what needs to be done to improve the economic climate, fix the health care system, support programs that invest in education and create a climate that leads toward a more prosperous United States. Some folks say there is too much money spent on social services, public education, and health care. It is odd that you seldom hear that too much is being spent on roads, bridges, and election campaigns. Comments are made about the wars that are being
fought, the prisons that are being expanded, and the lives that are being spent to keep us free. A new issue is voter fraud. Holy smokes, voter fraud? The complexity of today’s America has grown over the years, but my guess is that these issues are no more or less than in previous times. I know I shake my head and wonder which way to go? Who and what do I support? These are tough times with tough questions. What I do know is that certain things will happen if the failed economic theory that got us into this recession comes back. These include: tax cuts for people who do not need them, denying 600 New Hampshire see next page

LETTERS Student achievement suffers when expectations aren’t defined To the editor, After reading Tony Boutin’s response to my letter criticizing his letter relating to educators, I must admit to a certain amount of confusion. He kept alluding to my play for sympathy. I reread my letter and found no mention of feeling sorry for myself or teachers in general. I then went back to his letter and tried to find some statistical proof of the failures of educators to deliver what they were asked to do, teach. Tony seems to subscribe to the premise that, “If I say failure is evident, no proof is necessary.” Aside from the generalities he throws out in great profusion, there are a lot of specifics he could have cited. Many of them impact the success of an educational system. Notice I said system. Teachers are just one of the elements in the system. Of equal importance is the board of education and the last elements, of course, are the parents and the children. If negative results do in fact occur, how do they evolve? Did the boards of education intentionally hire substandard teachers? Was there a lack of communication between parents and teachers? Were there errors made in choosing curriculum? What is to be taught is a responsibility of the board and their administrators. There are some laws on the books at the state and national level that relate to standards, so they don’t have a completely free hand. Teachers take their direction from above and develop classroom plans to fit the directives promulgated by the board. What can, and many times, does go wrong? High on the list of problems is the fact that the student population and their parents may not understand the curriculum goals. Achievement suffers when expectations are not defined. Boards of education are made up, usually, of community leaders. They don’t have any special training for the job. Therefore, the depend heavily on the administrators that they hire. One of the administrators is the business manager. He/she keeps track of the money coming in and going out. The superintendent and the principals are the links to the teachers. There are lots of potential for miscommunication, that’s for sure. I am not sure this much detail was necessary, but I felt compelled to say it. To the point he made about tax-
payers footing the bill; I answer an emphatic yes! Alas, most of the time they don’t have a clue as to how the money is spent. By and large, most taxpayers, many of them parents, don’t go to budget hearings of the annual district meetings where money items are submitted for approval. The warrant and a report of the previous year’s expenditures is included in a book that runs to about 40 pages. Most of the copies never find their way into the hands of the taxpayers. Is there apathy? You bet! Does the average parent accuse an individual teacher of underperforming? I would say, rarely. You have to be engaged in the process to know when and where to speak up. Now, let’s focus on the smear portion of my letter. Please, no sympathy required. I am just pointing out his lack of civility. He is clearly against collective bargaining. I’m not sure how he feels about free speech and the right to assemble. Implying motives of the teachers’ unions by using the slur, “sleeping with” when he talks about using collective influence to gain that which is sought is what anyone who has ever negotiated recognizes as ruse to confuse. Unions are identified with workers. Democrats have always responded to workers. Republicans can try to help teachers and workers but in order to do so, they might have to give up the “french kiss’, his words not mine, that they give and receive with management and big business. You see, Tony, it all boils down to trust. Therefore, nothing is being done because logic has been taken out of the problem solving process. Class warfare is ugly. Witness some of the current political ads; especially from the PAC’s on both sides. There is plenty of educating to be done. The national stand-off between the two parties in Congress probably won’t allow wise council to intervene at this point in time. The stress that the average Americans, teachers included, feel today has been created by a deadlocked situation in Washington. We need compromise, not screaming from the to extremes of the body politic. Let’s get this campaign behind us, have the election, then find ways to bridge the differences. The “my way or no way” just wont cut it from November 6 and beyond. Bill Dawson Northfield
from preceding page Head Start kids services, slashing funding for K-12 and special education by $14-million dollars leading to more crowded classrooms,cutting Pell Grants for 22,000 college students, letting the president’s college tax credit expire, making college more expensive for 39,000 students in New Hampshire, providing no answers for the crumbling infrastructure that is
occurring in the state. My thought is that if these things are important to you, just maybe continuing to support President Obama’s administration is the way to answer some of these problems. Think about it before you vote and be sure to vote your conscience. Joe Denning Bristol

To the editor, I am writing this letter in response to Senator Jeanie Forrester’s public statements regarding the format and location of the public forums/debates we have been trying to schedule for the voters in Senate District 2. I want to correct the record. I previously stated publicly, and in a letter I sent to her, that I accepted her invitation to appear at a public forum arranged by her in Meredith on September 19th. She chose the location, the time, the 90-minute length, the format, and the moderator. I will attend this event to ensure that the voters in Meredith and the surrounding towns have an opportunity to listen to the both of us. She also said publicly, and in a letter to me, that she would participate with me in a one-on-one debate in Plymouth. The format for this 90-minute event will consist of 45 minutes of questions by a non-partisan modera-
tor and 45 minutes of questions by the audience. The date for this event is October 10 at the Pease Public Library in Plymouth from 6:30 to 8 p.m.. I sincerely hope she will honor her commitment to participate in this debate to ensure that the voters in Plymouth and the surrounding towns have an opportunity to listen to the both of us. I have fundamental differences with my opponent over her voting record during the last two years and what direction the state should be moving in during the next two years. The voters are entitled to know where both of us stand on the important issues facing the state Legislature and hear about the issues important to them. I am ready to stand up and explain my positions in a debate format. I would hope that my opponent is willing to do the same. Robert C. Lamb, Jr. Holderness
Please help me attend World Burn Conference in Milwaukee next month To the editor, I have a very unique opportunity, one which I’ve never had in all my years, to attend the Phoenix Society’s World Burn Congress in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from Sept. 12th through the 15th. This is an annual gathering of burn survivors, family and friends of burn survivors, medical professionals as well as psychologists, etc. At the time that I was burned, over 75-percent of my body, in 1952 and since then, I’ve not had the support of such an organization. I’ve muddled through my life as best I could, and at times was my own worst enemy. Without the emotional support of other survivors or professional help, I was, quite frequently, unable to talk with or express feelings with those who understood what I was going through during many stages of my life, even to this day. I will be receiving some monetary
assistance from The Phoenix Society and the Boston Firefighters, but they will not be able to cover all the expenses. Thus, the purpose of this decision to raise some funds to assure my trip will be fully paid for, including meals, transportation, hotel, etc. Further, any funds I receive in excess of expenses, I will donate back to the Phoenix Society and the Boston Firefighters. It doesn’t matter how much you can donate, $1, 5, 10 or more. Any amount will be so gratefully appreciated! I know times are tough for everyone right now, but if you could help, you will forever be in my thought and prayers. To donate please go online to www.gofundme.com/World-BurnCongress I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart! Rita Thibodeau Laconia
Given her record it’s no wonder Sen. Forrester changed mind on debates To the editor, I’m mystified as to why Sen. Jeanie Forrester would first tell her Democratic challenger, Bob Lamb, that candidate debates were “yours to arrange as you would like” (Daily Sun, Aug. 18), but then refuse to appear at the debates that he arranged (Daily Sun, Aug. 21). According to Sen. Forrester, “Mr. Lamb will not be satisfied with anything less than having it his way.” But isn’t that exactly what she told him to do? The people of Senate District 2 deserve to have a set of honest-togoodness debates between the Senate candidates. Sen. Forrester’s puzzling tactics are the only thing getting in the way. Unfortunately, Sen. Forrester has a record of saying one thing and doing another. Sen. Forrester ran on a platform of “jobs, education and the economy.” But once she was sworn in, her party-line votes: — cost New Hampshire over 1,000 health care jobs because of Republican cuts in Medicaid reimbursements. — raised state university tuitions
highest level in the nation because of drastic Republican cuts to higher education. — dropped New Hampshire from 10th to 34th on CNBC’s state rankings for economic health because of Republican cuts to education, infrastructure, and workforce training. Sen. Forrester and her Republican colleagues also blew a $30-million hole in New Hampshire’s 2-year revenue forecast by passing a reckless cut to the tobacco tax to “stimulate” tobacco sales, but (guess what?) the tobacco companies never passed the price reduction on to consumers. When you think of all the lost jobs and services in our hospitals and schools, just picture those tobacco executives stuffing $30-million into their pockets to keep our workers and young people smoking. Given her record, I shouldn’t be surprised that Sen. Forrester tells Bob Lamb to “arrange the debates as you would like” and then refuses to debate when he does just that. Paul Phillips Plymouth

Planners will see Prescott Hill car wash plans on Monday By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — A local developer will go before the Planning Board Monday night and present his plans for building a car wash on the former site of a car dealership atop Prescott Hill. Alfred E. Mitchell of Route 106 Realty Trust said in a interview a few months ago that he plans on building a state-of-the-art car wash and covered drying bay. Mitchell purchased the property earlier this year. It was the site of the former Lakes Chrysler-Jeep and, before that, McGreevy Buick-Mazda. He has since demolished the building that housed the car dealerships. According to the plan he submitted to the Planning Board, prepared by engineer Jon Rokeh, Mitchell will upgrade the drainage system, repave the hard surfaces, and improve the landscaping and lighting. Schematics show that if a person was to be facing the site from Route 106, the 120-by-40 foot wash
bay would be on the left to the rear of the lot and a 120-by-30 foot vacuuming and drying bay would be directly in front of it. To the right side, set toward the rear of the lot, would be a 100-by-160 foot commercial building with four rows of parking in front of it. The four rows of parking would run parallel to each other and perpendicular to Route 106. The car wash and drying bays would have one entrance and the commercial building with 50 parking spaces would have the other entrance. He also plans on removing the underground utilities that are where the new commercial building will be built. Mitchell has applied for the appropriate terrain alteration and wetland permits with the state. Other agenda items on Monday’s Planning Board agenda are two requests from Pensco Holding, LLC regarding the laundromat and proposed hair salon at 8 Church St. see next page

Wesley Woods tax exemption case headed to court? BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — After the Board of Selectmen reaffirmed its earlier decision to deny the New England Deaconess Association (NEDA) a tax exemption for the Wesley Woods retirement community last week, attorney Rod Dyer said yesterday that the organization was considering appealing in Belknap County Superior Court. Dyer said an appeal, which must be filed by August 31, would likely also include a challenge to the town’s assessment of the property and the refusal of the selectmen to grant the NEDA a tax abatement. Appearing before the board on Wednesday, he expressed appreciation for the time, care and attention the board devoted to considering NEDA’s request. Then, after briefly restating his case, he told the selectmen, “we feel quite strongly we either solve it here or solve it at some other tribunal.” In 2010, the NEDA requested a tax exemption on 22 residential units housing reserved for the elderly and disabled. Initially the NEDA requested an exemption from property tax as a religious institution (affiliated with the Methodist Church), which was denied. The NEDA renewed its request, claiming that as a charitable organization providing housing at less than market rents it is entitled to pay the town 10-percent of the shelter rent charged to residents or the town portion of the municipal tax rate, whichever is less. In 2011, Wesley Woods paid $73,119 in property taxes. The board again denied the request on May 9. Dyer contended that since the debt service on the units of $300,000 exceeds the rental income from the units of $182,000, a subsidy from the NEDA provides housing at below market rents. “If it were not for the continuing contribution provided by the NEDA, there is no possibility that the community would remain in operation.” Furthermore, he noted that eight of the homes are occupied by retired pastors, whose housing costs are supported by the Preachers Aid Society, which pays the NEDA $550 a month for three units, $676 for four units and $700 for one unit, based on the financial circumstances of the tenants. In a letter to Reverend Herbert Taylor, president and chief executive officer of Deaconess Abundant Life Communities, an affiliate of the Methodist Church, Town Administrator Scott Dunn explained the board’s decision. He conceded that data presented by Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic indicated rents at Wesley Woods were less than market rents in Gilford, but noted that the calculation from preceding page

The first items requests the Planning Board approve an addition to the existing laundromat building to accommodate The Vault — the hairdressing salon currently located in the former Northway Bank building. Earlier this week, the town received permission from the voters to negotiate the purchase of the former bank and spend no more than $250,000. If an agreement is reached with the current owners, town officials have said they’d like to look to relocate the town offices. The second item from Pensco is to add additional paved parking to the site. The Belmont Planning Board meets upstairs in the Corner Meeting House at 7 p.m.
assumed that between 90-percent and 100-percent of the entrance fee required to secure a unit would ultimately be refunded. Since no fees have been refunded, the board found that they should not be discounted but included in the housing costs, making rents at Wesley Woods comparable to market rents. Moreover, even if the entrance fees are refunded on the death or departure of the tenant, Dunn held that the financial arrangement failed to demonstrate a charitable purpose. Instead, since the fees paid no interest to the tenant, he suggested that they represented interest free loans to the benefit of the NEDA. Finally, Dunn pointed out that the Preachers Aid Society reimburses the NEDA for the cost of housing the eight pastors at rates comparable to those the other tenants at Wesley Woods and insisted there was no evidence that the NEDA was providing charitable housing for them. In addition, The Preachers Aid Society paid the NEDA $185,000 to reserve the eight units, which was used to build them. Even if the money is refunded, Dunn said it represented an interest free loan to the NEDA. Without responding directly to Dunn’s arguments, Dyer reminded the board that the NEDAS is registered as a charitable institution in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. In New Hampshire the organization is regulated by the Insurance Department and the Charitable Trust Division of the Department of Justice. The organization, Dyer said, provides a public service by offering care and housing to the elderly. The rental income the NEDA receives, Dyer said, has no bearing on its charitable purpose and the ownership and operation of Wesley Woods does not generate a profit for the organization. At most, he noted, the NEDA would break even if the remaining 18 units at Wesley Woods were built and occupied. The selectmen were not persuaded and for the second time refused to exempt the NEDA from pro

Emond told members of the Laconia School Board Tuesday night that there will be one-way traffic in from Union Avenue which will enter next to the Auto Zone parking lot and then be routed through the high school parking lot and out Dewey Street to Gilford Avenue. He said that using Auto Zone’s parking lot to access the high school’s parking lot will not be allowed and that due to the re-configuration, parking for seniors is limited. Emond said that discussions have been held with the owners of parking areas across from the high school in the area of Decorative Interiors to obtain parking space for teachers. — Roger Amsden

Ever adapting Naswa Resort added Blue Bistro this summer By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The NASWA resort has been around since 1935, when Jim and Fannie Salta purchased the New Hampshire Spring Water Company and gradually started building cottages on the shore of Paugus Bay. The resort now has 82 units and is welcoming families that have been vacationing there for as long as four generations. For Cynthia Makris, grand-daughter of the hospitality institution’s founders, it’s important to add new elements to the business even as she seeks to maintain the same levels of service and customer experience. For 2012, Makris discontinued the “Restaurant at the NASWA,” which served classic New England fare, and replaced it with Blue Bistro, an eatery that offers a menu that is both eclectic and worldly. “It was time for something new,” said Makris. “This was exciting to do. People have really responded well to it.” Blue Bistro is open seven days a week during the summer, serving breakfast and dinner. The restaurant will cut back its hours to Thursday through Sunday after Labor Day, and will close for the winter after Columbus Day. Like the restaurant it replaces, Blue Bistro welcomes guests as well as the general public. The Restaurant at the NASWA had been in existence since the hotel building was constructed in the 1950s. In addition to regional standard dishes, the restaurant served mediterranean cuisine, something which has been carried forward in the new menu. Creating the food at Blue Bistro is Chef Jam, a Town of Sanbornton Supervisors of the Checklist Will hold a session on September 4, 2012 Town Office, from 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm
man Makris met while apprenticing at the famed Locke-Ober Restaurant in Boston during the mid1990s. Jam, who came to the United States from his native Thailand, started working there as a dishwasher and eventually was promoted to head chef. He also cooked at some of the iconic Italian eateries in Boston’s North End. So, when it came time for Makris to re-think her resort’s restaurant, she thought of Chef Jam. “I knew how unbelievable his food was,” she said. With Mediterranean, Asian and even some Caribbean elements on the menu, Makris calls the cuisine “eclectic American fusion.” The food is informed by contemporary ethics such as freshness and sustainability. She’s proud to offer artisan cheeses from Maine and heirloom tomatoes. Some items, such as the Roma meatballs or chicken Milanese, might have been at home at the Restaurant at the NASWA. Others, like the quinoa pilaf or the yellow fin tuna with seaweed salad, are signals that the Blue Bistro is the start of something new. Diners have responded favorably, to Makris’s pleasure. Interestingly, the best-selling dishes this summer have been split between the old-fashioned, such as the meatballs or lobster bisque, and the new. Scallop sliders, topped with chipotle aioli, crispy onions and Asian slaw, have surprised with their popularity. Another hit is the island-spiced salmon with mango-jalapeño sauce. Some things need not change, though. One example is Hope Makris, Cynthia’s 87 year-old mother, see next page

BRIDGE from page one $150,000 available in a bridge repair capital reserve fund but no decisions as to repairs can be made until the town gets an engineering report. Cormier described the bridge as a large metal culvert. He said the photographs selectmen were shown indicate the culvert is quite rusted.
“Fortunately, there are detours available,” he said. The town asks that people use alternate routes including Dearborn Street and Seavey Road. He said Johnson Street has been closed to through traffic because it is narrow and winding and the town doesn’t want to see it used for routine travel.
CHARLIE from page one motorcycle rally in South Dakota. “It will be slow going for a while,” said St. Clair, adding that he anticipated using a walker and wheelchair for some time until he could begin to put weight on his injured leg. He said that he remains in some
pain, particularly in his leg, wrist and lower back. St. Clair had nothing but praise for the hospital staff who treated and cared for him. “They spoiled me to death,” he said. “They had me in a real cocoon. It’s a great hospital.” Nevertheless, he said that he was eager to return home and to work.
EMPIRE STATE from page 2 veillance video shows Johnson pointing his weapon at police, but it’s likely he did not get a chance to fire, investigators said. Startled New Yorkers looked up from their morning routines in the crowded business district to see people sprawled in the streets bleeding and a tarp covering the body in front of the tourist landmark. “I was on the bus and people were yelling ‘get down, get down,” said accountant Marc Engel. “I was thinking, ‘You people are crazy, no one is shooting in the middle of midtown Manhattan at 9 o’clock in the morning.” It was over in seconds, he said — “a lot of pop, pop, pop, pop, one shot after the other.” Afterwards he saw sidewalks littered with the wounded, including one man “dripping enough blood to leave a stream.” Johnson, who neighbors had seen leave his apartment in a suit every day since he was laid off a year ago, had worked for six years for Hazan Imports
and was let go when the company downsized, police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. Police were looking into his relationship with the victim, Steven Ercolino, the company’s vice president of sales, who had traded accusations of harassment with Johnson when he worked there. Johnson, 58, also blamed Ercolino for his layoff, saying that he hadn’t aggressively marketed Johnson’s new T-shirt line, police spokesman Paul Browne said. After waiting for Ercolino, 41, to come to work, Johnson walked up to him, pulled out a .45-caliber pistol and fired at his head, Kelly said. After he fell to the ground, Johnson stood over him and shot four more times, a witness told investigators. “Jeffrey just came from behind two cars, pulled out his gun, put it up to Steve’s head and shot him,” said Carol Timan, whose daughter, Irene, was walking to Hazan Imports at the time with Ercolino. A construction worker who saw the shooting followed Johnson and alerted two police officers, a detail regularly assigned to patrol city landmarks such as the 1,454-foot skyscraper since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, officials said. Kelly said the officers who caught up to Johnson had “a gun right in their face” and “responded quickly, and they responded appropriately.” “These officers, having looked at the tape myself, had absolutely no choice,” Kelly said. A witness had told police that Johnson fired at the officers, but authorities say ballistics evidence doesn’t support that. Johnson’s weapon held seven rounds, they said. He fired five times at Ercolino, one round was still in the gun and one was ejected when officers secured it, authorities said.

realize that the restaurant, like the NazBar and Grill, is not the exclusive province of resort guests. Despite advertising campaigns and 77 years of operation, many patrons seem to think otherwise. “It’s kind of crazy,” she said. “We are very much open to the public.” The 2012 season has been good, better than any of the most recent five, said Makris. Over the winter, she plans to evaluate Blue Bistro and update its menu for another year. The last thing a businesswoman should do, after all, is rest on the successes of the previous year. “I took the best of what we had and brought it forward,” Makris said. “We’ve been here so long, but we never want to stay the same.”

City Council to review sewer rates for 717 3 men indicted for Gilford gun heist customers not on public water supply BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Public Works Committee of the City Council will consider a proposal to replace the current system of billing customers served by municipal sewer but who draw their water from a private well or community water system with a flat rate comparable to the fees charged to metered sewer and water accounts. According to a briefing paper prepared for the committee, there are 7,200 sewer accounts serving 10,200 sewer units billed in the city, of which 717 are sewer-only accounts. Both the Department of Public Works (DPW) and Laconia Water Department have found billing the sewer-only accounts “cumbersome and in some cases inequitable.” These accounts are granted a choice of installing a meter on their water supply, in which case they are billed at the metered sewer rate, or forgoing a meter and paying a flat rate. Of the sewer-only accounts 538 are metered and 177 are not. The problem arises from the meters installed on private water lines. Since the quality of the water passing through the meters cannot be controlled, elements in the water foul the mechanical
parts, causing the meter to give inaccurate readings. A program to maintain, repair and replace failed meters would be unnecessarily expensive. Apart from the issues with meters, there has been confusion in applying appropriate rates to seasonal customers. The DPW proposes to eliminate meters and bill all sewer-only customers a flat rate for sewer-only customers a flat rate of $85 per quarter or $340 per year, compared to the current flat rate of $132.75 per quarter or $531 per year. The rate is based on data gathered from five city neighborhoods by the Laconia Water Department that indicates that the average person consumes 62.2 gallons of water per day and the average household consumes 136.22 gallons per day. That translates to 66.5 hundred cubic feet (hcf) per year, or 16.6 hcf per quarter, which at the current rates for metered sewer and water customers represents a quarterly charge of $85 and an annual charge of $340. Among the cities in the state, only Concord and Nashua have lower rates. The Public Works Committee will address the proposal when it meets in the City Council chamnber on Monday, August 27 at 6 p.m.
Correction: Bruce Watson charged with murder of Wiggin
The name of the man who was indicted by a Belknap County Grand Jury with second-degree homicide in the death of Brian Wiggin is Bruce
Watson. The name was incorrectly spelled-outt in a story that run on the front page of Wednesday’s Sun.
LACONIA — A Belknap County grand jury has indicted three local men for allegedly breaking in to a Gilford home in September of 2011 and stealing seven handguns. Andrew Soboleski, 20, of 107 High St. in Laconia was indicted on eight counts of theft unauthorized taking for taking seven handguns and a safe from his grandfather’s home on Saltmarsh Pond. He is also charged with one count of burglary. Ryan B. Tuttle, 22, of 23 Saltmarsh Pond in Gilford was indicted for one felony count of falsifying physical evidence for allegedly burying the stone safe in a fire pit behind the house where he lives and one misdemeanor count of being an accomplice to theft. Justin Franquie, 20, of 12 Winter St. in Laconia is charged with one felony count of receiving stolen property — a .357 magnum handgun — one count of falsifying physical evidence for
allegedly burying the safe, and one misdemeanor count of theft by unauthorized taking for the safe. Police affidavits indicate Soboleski planned the burglary for a time when he knew his grandparents would be out of town. Gilford Police were able to accomplish some of the investigation due to the arrest of Steven Holland, 30, of 23 Saltmarsh Pond Road who was charged with being a felon in possession of a handgun after police arrested him while executing a search warrant at Tuttle’s home. Police also obtained tapes of conversations Tuttle alleged had with his sister who had contacted him while he was incarcerated in the Belknap County House of Correction. It is not known if all seven of the handguns have been recovered. Trial dates have not been set. — Gail Ober
Mill’s Wednesday night concert canceled
LACONIA — Due to unforeseen circumstances at the Belknap Mill, the final concert of the Belknap Mill’s Rotary Park Outdoor Concert Series featuring Annie and the Orphans on August 29 has been cancelled. “The summer outdoor concerts have been well attended and a lot of fun for everyone,” said Belknap Mill vice president F. Andre Paquette. “We’ve had some great music for the public
and some generous sponsors. We will be bringing the concerts in the park back next summer and we hope the public will come out as they did this summer to enjoy the music!” This year’s Belknap Mill Rotary Park concert business sponsors were: Laconia Antique Center, Franklin Savings Bank, MacDaddy’s Rollin’ Smoke Barbecue and WEMJ and Tyler Graphics.

ARMSTRONG from page 2 Armstrong of one of the most incredible achievements in sports. Armstrong, who retired a year ago and turns 41 next month, said Thursday he would no longer challenge USADA and declined to exercise his last option by entering arbitration. He denied again that he ever took banned substances in his career, calling USADA’s investigation a “witch hunt” without any physical evidence. He is now officially a drug cheat in the eyes of his nation’s doping agency. USADA chief executive Travis Tygart described the investigation as a battle against a “win-at-allcost culture,” adding that the UCI was “bound to recognize our decision and impose it.” “They have no choice but to strip the titles under the code,” he said. That would leave Greg LeMond as the only American to win the Tour de France, having done so in 1986, 1989 and 1990. Armstrong on Friday sent a tweet that he’s still planning to ride in a mountain bike race in Aspen, Colo., on Saturday and follow it up with running a marathon on Sunday, but he did not comment directly on the sanctions. The UCI and USADA have engaged in a turf war

APPLE from page 2 some of Apple’s claims involving the two dozen Samsung devices at issue, declining to award the full $2.5 billion Apple demanded. However, the jury found that several Samsung products illegally used such Apple creations as the “bounceback” feature when a user scrolls to an end image, and the ability to zoom text with a tap of a finger. As part of its lawsuit, Apple also demanded that Samsung pull its most popular cellphones and computer tablets from the U.S. market. A judge was expected to make that ruling at a later time. After the verdicts were read, the judge sent the jury back to deliberate further on two inconsistencies involving about $2.5 million in damages awarded to Apple based on products jurors found didn’t infringe Apple’s patents. Those deliberations were continuing. During closing arguments at the trial, Apple attorney Harold McElhinny claimed Samsung was having a “crisis of design” after the 2007 launch of the iPhone, and executives with the South Korean company were determined to illegally cash in on the success of the revolutionary device. Samsung’s lawyers countered that it was simply and legally giving consumers what they want: Smart phones with big screens. They said Samsung didn’t violate any of Apple’s patents and further alleged innovations claimed by Apple were actually created by other companies. Samsung has emerged as one of Apple’s biggest rivals and has overtaken Apple as the leading smartphone maker.

over who should prosecute allegations against Armstrong. The UCI event backed Armstrong’s failed legal challenge to USADA’s authority, and it cited the same World Anti-Doping Code in saying that it wanted to hear more from the U.S. agency. “As USADA has claimed jurisdiction in the case, the UCI expects that it will issue a reasoned decision” explaining the action taken, the Switzerlandbased organization said in a statement. It said legal procedures obliged USADA to fulfill this demand in cases “where no hearing occurs.” If Tour de France officials follow USADA’s lead and announces that Armstrong has been stripped of his titles, Jan Ullrich could be promoted to champion in three of those years. Ullrich was stripped of his third-place finish in the 2005 Tour and retired from racing two years later after being implicated in another doping scandal. The retired German racer expressed no desire to rewrite the record book of cycling’s greatest event, even though he would be the biggest beneficiary. “I know how the order was on the finishing line at the time,” Ullrich said. “I’ve finished with my professional career and have always said that I was proud of my second-place finishes.” The International Olympic Committee said Friday it will await decisions by USADA and UCI before taking any steps against Armstrong, who won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Games. Besides the disqualifications, Armstrong will forfeit any medals, winnings, points and prizes, USADA said.

Ortiz returns to lineup and Red Sox snap 4-game skid BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz returned to the lineup, Adrian Gonzalez left it and the Red Sox broke a four-game losing streak. It was an eventful night for Boston’s top two hitters. Ortiz was back after missing 35 games with a right Achilles strain and had two hits and two RBIs on the first two pitches he saw, sparking Boston to a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. But Gonzalez was pulled from the lineup minutes before the game amid reports that he was part of a major trade being discussed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. “We talked for a little bit,” Ortiz said. “He’s shocked, like we are a little bit. Adrian wants to be here, that’s why he came here, and help this ballclub to win a World Series.” Ortiz already has done that twice, in 2004 and 2007. But the Red Sox went 13-22 while he was sidelined as they dropped to 59-66 before beating the Royals “David was awesome,” said Andrew Bailey, who earned his first save after being sidelined all season until Aug. 14 following right thumb surgery. “You can’t say enough about that guy. And for him to come off the DL and to be such a sparkplug in our offense, he was huge tonight.” Pedro Ciriaco’s two-run double in the seventh inning put Boston ahead 4-3, and Jon Lester continued his surge from a poor first-half of the season with seven solid innings. Lester (8-10) has won his past three starts and seemed fine after leaving with a cramp in his left hamstring with no outs in the top of the eighth. He had thrown three pitches in the inning, all balls.

Brady plays 3-quarters but Pats lose 30-28 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mark Barron and Doug Martin are a pair of rookies the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are counting on to help them rebound from a disappointing season. The first-round draft picks who have moved directly into the starting lineup scored touchdowns on Friday night, helping the Bucs beat Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 30-28. Barron intercepted a pass tipped by Ronde Barber and returned it 22 yards for a first-quarter TD. Martin scored on a 1-yard run that finished a gameopening drive led by Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman. Brady played three quarters in his most extensive action of the preseason, but didn’t really get the Patriots offense on track until after Tampa Bay built a 23-7 lead. He finished on a high note, though, throwing a 16-yard touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski on his final play. Freeman played into the third quarter, finishing 10 of 19 for 102 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Connor Barth kicked a 56-yard field goal and Kai Forbath added field goals of 51 and 55 yards before Freeman’s backup, Dan Orlovsky, tossed an 8-yard scoring pass to Sammie Stroughter in the fourth quarter. Bucs guard Davin Joseph was carted off the field in the first half with what appeared to be a right knee injury. There was no immediate announcement on his status. The Patriots (No. 2 in the AP Pro32) traveled to Florida early in the week to practice with the Bucs (No. 26) twice in preparation for the game — workouts that first-year Bucs coach Greg Schiano felt would be especially beneficial to his players because of what they could learn from being on the field with Brady and other veterans who have been vital to

New England’s success. Freeman completed passes of 25, 14 and 10 yards to Vincent Jackson on an eight-play, 68-yard drive that Martin finished with a 1-yard TD run. Barron’s interception return — one play after Michael Bennett sacked Brady for an 8-yard loss to the New England 7 — made it 14-0 late in the opening quarter. Brady threw seven passes in New England’s preseason opener against New Orleans, then sat out the Patriots’ second exhibition against Philadelphia. In what likely will be the most playing time he’ll get before the regular season, the two-time Super Bowl MVP completed 13 of 20 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Bucs, last in the league in sacks with 23 last season, dropped Brady twice and pressured him into bad throws on at least three other occasions.

Two Labor Day weekend concerts cap Winni Playhouse summer season LACONIA — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse will cap off a successful summer season with two concerts for Labor Day weekend. Boston-based singer Krisanthi Pappas will be returning to the Playhouse to present “The Composers of Tin Pan Alley” on Friday, August 31 at 7:30 p.m., and “Broadway Favorites ...and All That Jazz!” on Saturday, September 1 at 7:30 p.m. Krisanthi first performed on the Playhouse stage in 2004 and was so beloved by audiences that she has returned many times since. Krisanthi is a full-time entertainer playing an average of 150 performances a year at jazz concert venues, singer-songwriter series, festivals, resorts, clubs and private events throughout New England and New York City. She has also performed throughout the U.S. and Caribbean and has opened for or shared the stage with such jazz greats as Branford Marsalis, Chuck Mangione, The Yellowjackets, Manhattan Transfer’s Cheryl Bentyne, Kevin Mahogany, Gary Burton and Makoto Ozone as well as pop sensations The B-52s. She has been compared to Norah Jones and Diana Krall by JazzTimes Magazine. Her concert on Friday, August 31 will include songs from the alley in New York City which produced classics by Irving Berlin (Cheek to Cheek, What’ll I Do), Hoagy Carmichael
(Stardust, Georgia on my Mind), Gershwin (I Got Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me), Jerome Kern (Can’t Help Loving That Man), Dorothy Fields (The Way You Look Tonight, A Fine Romance) and more. The Broadway-themed show on Saturday, September 1 includes a mix of Broadway showstoppers such as And All That Jazz (from Chicago), Big Spender (from Sweet Charity), Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You (from Jersey Boys), Lullaby of Broadway (from 42nd Street), Steam Heat (from Pajama Game), On My Own (from Les Miserables), to name a few. Marketing Director, Lesley Pankhurst, says, “the first summer we opened, we presented many different singers and musicians and Krisanthi was a huge audience favorite. In fact, when I’ve asked ticket buyers for these two concerts how they found out about the shows, many of them said they had seen her perform here or in Boston and were looking out for a chance to see her again. Many are also coming to both shows because they enjoy watching her perform so much. We only have 84 seats so I encourage early reservations.” Tickets cost $18 for adults and $16 for seniors or students and can be booked by calling (603) 366-7377 or stopping by the theatre located in the Alpenrose Plaza in Weirs Beach. Visit www.winniplayhouse.org for more information.
MEREDITH — Each year residents and property owners in the Lakes Region have an opportunity to safely dispose of hazardous products from their household, reducing accidents in their home. On the last weekend of July and first weekend in August more than 1,750 households dropped off a total of 18,900 gallons of hazardous products, ensuring that these materials will not enter the drinking water or the environment, on which the local economy is so dependent. For twenty-five years the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) has coordinated household hazardous waste (HHW) collections in the Lakes Region. In 2012, 24 communities pooled their resources, along with a small grant from the NH Department of Environmental Resources (NH DES) to provide their residents and property owners the opportunity to rid their homes of toxic materials without endangering the Lakes Region’s groundwater or soil. Most of these hazardous materials included oil-based paints, household cleaners, automotive fluids, pool chemicals, and lawn and garden products. The annual collections, held at eight different locations, gave residents and local taxpayers a couple of opportunities to bring their hazardous materi-
als in for convenient and safe disposal. The Swap Table at the Laconia site was active as people found many unused containers of paints, stains, and cleaners that they could make use of in their homes; these items are free for the taking. This year each of the eight sites distributed free copies of a flipbook Alternatives to Household Hazardous Waste, designed by LRPC and printed with a special grant from NH DES. Lakes Region residents and homeowners are encouraged to learn more about how to reduce their use of hazardous household products by visiting the LRPC website http://www.lakesrpc.org/services_hhw.asp. The continued success of the collection is due to many people, especially the five dozen volunteers and municipal employees who turned out to assist with surveys and traffic control, and the unloading of used motor oil, along with the enthusiastic assistance of site and local coordinators who helped organize and publicize the collections. Those who still have hazardous products in your home that you wish to dispose of, the Lakes Region Household Hazardous Product Facility in Wolfeboro will be open August 18, September 15, and October 20 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Call 569-5826 or 651-7530 for details.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in the process of study. If it’s a subject in which you’re not very interested but you have reasons to continue, a good teacher will pave your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even when you’re not trying to reach out and connect with people, you’re in the process of doing so. Sublime spurts of imagination ignite your inner world, and you will one day express this private joy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Of course you prefer to hang out with people who are very much like you, but this is not always the most creative choice. In fact, you’ll gain more from and give more to those who are so different from you that they force you to open your mind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Strive for completion in every task. The happiest moments will be when your most tedious work is finally done and you’re on to your next adventure with a clear conscience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In quiet moments, you will feel as though there are unseen forces pushing you forward, influences that have something to do with the great thinkers and artists of yesteryear. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 25). There’s an exciting change in you. The next three weeks are about deciding the new trajectory of your life. In September, you’ll gather a few friends and take them somewhere magical. October is your chance at a big break. December brings games and risk. A May purchase enhances your lifestyle. Cancer and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 49, 3 and 16.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Human beings are the only animals that publish their words. You have something important to say, and you may take advantage of this uniquely human activity by making a statement that many will read. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Jealousy is a thing of the past for you -- at least for now. You are especially happy for your friends when they make money, and this means that you, too, will make money very soon. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People are always encouraging you to reconnect with the people you love, and yet they don’t take into account that the distance between you may be there for a good reason: It’s comfortable, and it keeps your love in good stead. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are in the mood to devour entertainment. You’re hungry for new delights, different sights, novel functions and new points of view. Feed this craving. Your growing soul needs nutrition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What requires aprons and protective gear will be the best part of your day. You’ll revel in the process of work of the nittygritty, down-and-dirty variety. Others will come to cherish what you make by hand or build in the garage. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The songs you love will speak to you when the people you love aren’t doing the best job of it. And if you don’t find healing in music, you will find music in healing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your friends want to see you out of context because the excitement of not knowing what you’ll do next really spices things up. That is precisely why tonight you may experience life after midnight.

Bernardin was installed as head of Chicago’s Roman Catholic archdiocese. In 1985, Samantha Smith, 13, the schoolgirl whose letter to Yuri V.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, August 25, 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.

The re-organization in academic affairs and the creation of the Vice Provost of Research and Engagement is an important step in providing support for research and outreach in the region.

Real Estate Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
An economic boon - The Winnipesaukee Tunnel Project Residential home sales in our Lakes Region communities were not what I had hoped for in July. I was planning on a summer of love... real estate love, that is. Lots of sales, happy sellers, happy buyers. I was predicting, anticipating, and forecasting that we would have a month where sales would top 100 for the month. Nope, not in July. It is kind of like the national monthly job numbers; always coming in less than expected. The only good thing is our sales numbers don’t get revised downward even further the next month like the jobs numbers do. The 70 transactions last month do equal the total for July last year which is good, but the average sales price is down from $309,586 to $260,113 equaling about a 15-percent drop. That’s actually not too bad, but it didn’t meet expectations, as they say in Washington. So, like any good politician (or real estate agent), I need to distract you from this somewhat uninspiring news and talk about something that takes your mind off the numbers. A good scandal always seems to work for the politicians, but I don’t want to mention what I may or may not know to be true about someone who is, or maybe is, involved in some hanky panky around here. Real estate agents aren’t that glamorous so that really wouldn’t work. Nobody would care. We need a John Edwards, Anthony Weiner, or a Mark Sanford to pull that off. Maybe we should talk about a shovel ready public works project and creating jobs. The Winnipesaukee Tunnel Authority has announced that it has met all of the NH DES environmental concerns and has received final permits for the 13-mile tunnel from Glendale Docks in Gilford to Wolfeboro Bay. The Governors Coun-
cil as well as the governor’s office have already expressed their full support and blessing of this $2-billion dollar project which is expected to provide 650 jobs during construction and 24 full jobs upon completion. Construction is anticipated to start in October of this year and is projected to be finished by September of 2015. It will utilize the latest tunneling technology and will feature a one mile section where the ceilings will be constructed of three foot thick glass to provide those passengers in convertibles or cars with sunroofs amazing views of the vast array of underwater life in Winnipesaukee. There will be one exit on the crossing for Rattlesnake Island. It is expected that this tunnel will be an economic boom to area businesses and tourism in general. The word on the street is that if Governor Romney does win the White House this fall that the time line for completion will be significantly shortened due to an infusion of federal funds. It seems that Governor Romney likes to visit Sawyer’s Dairy Bar and the tunnel would significantly shorten the drive. Romney has also been seen frequenting Crazy Gringos in the Weirs. He is often mistaken for Clint Eastwood when he stands at the end of the bar wearing his sombrero and poncho. His favorite line in there is “Go ahead, make my day.” The Winnipesaukee Tunnel Authority also has a plan in the works to connect Winnipesaukee to Winnisquam by the end of this decade. Investors are already speculating on Winnisquam property in anticipation this project’s completion and property values there are expected to soar. see next page

Additionally, the Vice Provost will oversee the creation and management of Service Learning programs, which will allow students to use what they learn in the classroom to solve real-life problems, and Undergraduate Research, which will support research efforts by integrating the work into the students’ curriculum. Guldbrandsen, an Alton native, coauthored the award winning book ‘Local Democracy Under Siege: Activism, Public Interests, and Private Politics’ (NYU Press 2007) and several other
articles and book chapters on topics related to globalization, local democracy, regionalism, sustainable development, and social inequality.
