Hospital hill home burglarized while women slept BY GAIL OBER
of
LACONIA, N.H.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Police continue to investigate the burglary of an occupied home on Warren Street early Sunday morning. According to one of the women who lives in the house, someone entered the home likely between 2 and 3:30 a.m. “He came into my bedroom and tool my jewelry box,” she said.
She said the intruder also entered her mother’s room. She said fortunately her elderly mother sleeps in a different portion of the home and was not in her bedroom. The older woman, who has asked her name to not be revealed, said her daughter was sleeping in a different portion of the home and thought she heard something.
“My daughter works early and typically rises at 4 a.m. I think she was already in that state where she was getting ready to wake up,” she said. The woman said her daughter rose and turned on an outside light and saw what she thought was a shadow running near the home. She woke her mother. The victim said she found her
jewelry box thrown in the backyard with some of her things still in it. She said most of the things stolen weren’t very valuable. She said she and her daughter discovered a jewelry box had been taken from her bedroom but decided to wait until morning to notify police so as not to upset her elderly mother in the middle of the night. see BURGLARY page 12
‘Free’ lunches aren’t to local schools & Laconia’s at more than 50% BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Tim Goossens, like food service directors in school districts around the country, has a lot on his plate at this time of year. For Goossens, charged with administering breakfast and lunch ser-
vice to about 2,000 students, the challenge becomes greater, as about 60-percent of the student body comes from homes that qualify under federal guidelines for free and reduced price lunch. The city’s greatest concentrations of free and reduced price meals are served at
Woodland Heights and Elm Street elementary schools, where only about one in three students pays full price for his or her food. While the statistic drops slightly at Pleasant Street School (56.4 percent) and for the middle and high schools (59.9 and 55.3 see LUNCH page 10

Fire spreads at Venezuela oil refinery, killing 41

PUNTO FIJO, Venezuela (AP) — An intense fire at a Venezuelan refinery spread to a third fuel tank on Monday nearly three days after an explosion killed at least 41 people and injured more than 150. Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said a third tank ignited at the Amuay refinery, which has been in flames since Saturday’s blast. Government officials had previously said they had the blaze contained, and the spread to another tank was an apparent setback to their plans to quickly restart the refinery. While a thick column of smoke blew in the wind, Ramirez told reporters the fire was still contained. “There is no risk of a bigger event,” Ramirez said, without specifying how much longer it might burn. Officials have said a gas leak led to the blast, but investigators have yet to determine the precise causes. Prosecutor General Luisa Ortega said at a news conference that 151 people were injured, 33 see FIRE page 5

Subdued start to GOP convention as ‘Isaac’ surges TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Republicans staged a remarkably subdued opening to Mitt Romney’s national convention Monday in the midst of a turbulent election year, wary of uncorking a glittery political celebration as Tropical Storm Isaac surged menacingly toward New Orleans and the northern Gulf Coast. There was speculation that the Republican man of the hour would make an unannounced visit to the convention hall Tuesday night when his wife, Ann, was on the speaking program. The campaign would confirm only that he was flying to town in time to do so. Virtually every party leader spoke somberly of the storm’s potential damage during the day, including the candidate.
“Our thoughts are with the people that are in the storm’s path and hope that they’re spared any major destruction,” said Romney, the man seeking to defeat Democratic President Barack Obama. Though Republicans are intent on turning the campaign’s focus back to the nation’s sluggish economic growth and high unemployment, a comment Romney made on abortion reintroduced a topic that had taken over campaign discussion last week. In a CBS interview, he said he opposes abortions except “in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.” That underscored his difference of opinion on the subject with his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, as well as
with his own convention platform, which opposes all abortions. Any exceptions made solely on the basis of a woman’s health have drawn particularly fierce criticism from abortion foes for years, and Romney’s aides said he wasn’t advocating an exemption on that basis alone. “Governor Romney’s position is clear: He opposes abortion except for cases of rape, incest and where the life of the mother is threatened,” said Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman. The convention’s first session lasted scarcely a minute, just long enough for the party’s chairman, Reince Priebus, to rap a gavel and declare the gathering open for business. As he did, high above the floor, numbers began flashing across an elecsee GOP page 12
Apple lists 8 Samsung products it wants banned after patent verdict SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple Inc. on Monday gave a federal judge a list of eight Samsung Electronics Co. products it wants pulled from shelves and banned from the U.S. market, including popular Galaxy model smartphones. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh asked for the list after a jury in San Jose last week slammed Samsung with a $1.05 billion verdict, finding that the South Korean technology giant had “willfully” copied Apple’s iPhone and iPad in creating and marketing the products. Samsung plans an appeal. The products Apple wants out are all smartphones: Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2

Koh on June 26 banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the U.S. market after finding it likely violated a “design patent.” Samsung is now asking for that ban to be lifted after the jury found the computer tablet didn’t infringe that particular patent, but it did find it infringed three Apple’s software patents that cover the popular “bounceback” and pinch-to-zoom features. The judge has scheduled a Sept. 20 hearing to discuss Apple’s demands for the sales bans. She asked Apple on Friday to submit
the list of products its wants removed from U.S. stores after Samsung complained that it doesn’t have enough time to prepare for the scheduled hearing. The judge is deciding whether to reschedule the hearing to give Samsung more time to prepare. Samsung plans to ask the judge to toss out the jury’s verdict as unsupported by the evidence. Failing that, the company says it will appeal the verdict to higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition to the sales bans, Apple also plans to ask the judge to triple the damsee APPLE page 10

Faith guiding New Hampton woman to ride to save home from foreclosure By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
NEW HAMPTON — Bob and Judy Ulrich say they have always tried to do whatever they could to help other people out — folks down on their luck or trying to turn their lives around. Now the couple is hoping that others will help them save their home. The Ulrichs live at the end of Dixon Hill Road — a narrow, rutted and mostly dirt lane — in a spacious log home built by Amish craftsmen. With a panoramic view and a homesite far off the main road it is in many ways an idyllic setting. But with the threat of foreclosure now just over a week away the couple are making a bold move — they see it as a leap of faith — in the hopes of coming up with $330,000 to pay off their mortgage. This Friday, Judy Ulrich, will take a break from her bread-baking business to bike 200 miles from New Hampton to Portland, Maine, and back. She hopes and prays that this trek will prompt kindhearted people to help them save their house and Mountain View Manna, the bread-baking business they run out of the home. The Ulrichs are calling it the Faith Bike-a-Thon, and for good reason. Judy Ulrich, who is 61, has not been on a bicycle for 12 years, when, according to her husband, she participated in a bike-a-thon in Plymouth. Prior to that, the last time she had ridden a bike was when she was 12 years old. So despite the lack of training and getting into shape for this undertaking, come Friday morning she will hop on a bicycle she has borrowed from a granddaughter, and head out on Route 132 to Route 104, and bike to Meredith where she will eventually get on Route 25 which will take her through places like Ossipee and Effingham, across the state line and through Maine towns like Cornish, Standish, and Gorham, with the hope that she will make it to Westbrook or Portland by nightfall. Bob will be following in the car with large supply of Gatorade and other provisions to help her keep up her stamina.

“With God, nothing is impossible,” Judy says without a shred of doubt in her voice. She said that she began thinking about the bikea-thon some months back. She does not see the idea
as hers, but God’s. She acknowledges that on the surface the inspiration seems reckless. But when she first shared what was on her mind with Bob, he see next page

from preceding page told her, “OK, I’ll follow.” That was all the encouragement she needed. To build public support, Unrichs have posted information about the bike-a-thon on the their business’s website (www.mountainviewmana.com) and they are in the process of setting up accounts so people can make donations through Fundly and PayPal. The Ulrichs first came to the 62 acre site on Dixon Hill Road 32 years ago. For a number of years the couple operated a Christian family campground which they funded largely on donations. In order to have a steadier source of income they worked in the off-season delivering all manner of motor vehicles, from cars and trucks, to school buses. But when the Great Recession hit about five years ago the vehicle-transport work dried up. It was then Bob and Judy decided to start Mountain View Manna with a hand-cranked dough-kneading machine and a kitchen range. Though business has grown, it has not brought in enough to cover the $2,600 monthly mortgage payment to Chase Bank, plus other expenses, says Bob, who is 70. The Ulrichs said that although the bank was willing to modify the mortgage, Fannie Mae, which now owns it, was not. Now the Ulrichs owe and estimated $300,000 when the late fees and other costs are added to the $243,000 note. FIRE from page 2 of whom remain in hospitals. A 9-year-old girl was missing in the area, Health Minister Eugenia Sader said on television. Criticisms of the government’s response to the gas leak emerged from local residents as well as oil experts. People in neighborhoods next to the refinery said they had no official warning before the explosion hit at about 1 a.m. on Saturday. “What bothers us is that there was no sign of an alarm. I would have liked for an alarm to have gone off or something,” said Luis Suarez, a bank employee in the neighborhood. “Many of us woke up thinking it was an earthquake.”
Struggling to make ends meet with the breadbaking business was made even tougher when three years ago the Ulrichs agreed to provide a home for Raymond Guay, a parolee who had served time for the murder of a child who he had molested. Some of couple’s bread customers stopped buying from them in protest. “We’re always taking in people ... homeless people and others,” Bob Ulrich explained regarding their commitment to trying to help people rebuild their lives. Guay moved away from New Hampton when his parole ended last November and the Ulrichs are reluctant to talk about the situation for fear of opening old wounds in the community, particularly among those who felt that someone with Guay’s criminal record should not have been allowed anywhere in the town. But for the Ulrichs, the religious faith that gives them the hope that Judy will complete her bike-athon and thus enabling them to stay in their home, is also what assures them that helping others in trouble is always the right thing to do. For Bob Ulrich’s part, there is no doubt that Judy will succeed in her quest. “She feels that Lord is telling her to do it, so she feels the Lord will maintain her during the ride. She’s a dynamo.” The blast knocked down walls, shattered windows and left streets littered with rubble. People who live next to the refinery said they smelled strong fumes coming from the refinery starting between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, hours before the blast, but many said they weren’t worried because they had smelled such odors before. Then, a cloud of gas ignited in an area with fuel storage tanks and exploded. President Hugo Chavez visited the refinery on Sunday. In a televised conversation with the president, one state oil company official said workers had made their rounds after 9 p.m. and hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

Smoke Signals Nicotine is highly addictive and a very difficult dependency to break. Unfortunately, it has become clear that smoking is hazardous to your health. Do you understand the benefits of quitting? Within one hour of smoking your last cigarette, your body begins to improve. Blood pressure slowly returns to normal, you have a 50% reduction in risk for heart attack, lung cancer and stroke, and your circulation improves. As more time goes by, (statistically) you will incur less medical costs; be less at risk for postsurgical complications; be less absent from work; and, have less chance of developing gum disease. Looking forward to a smoke-free life without halitosis (bad breath) might be a goal that you’re ready to set for yourself. If you have tried to quit before and it didn’t work out, don’t be ashamed to try again. Maybe a different approach would be more successful such as nicotine replacement (gum, lozenges, patches). Here are a few good resources available to you: 1) www.smokefree.gov is geared toward folks who want to stop smoking, 2) 877-44U-QUIT is a national helpline number with real people you can speak to, and 3) the website www.becomeanex.org is a free 3-step organized plan to assist you along the way to a life without cigarettes. Will it be one of the hardest things you ever do? Yes. Can you do it? YES! When you do quit, ask your dentist about the many good options for whitening your teeth. Good luck! George T.

Ideology over common sense? The primary goal of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is to reduce the number of people without health insurance. One strategy to reach that goal is an expansion of Medicaid, so that more people will qualify. In its recent decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress cannot force states to expand Medicaid because states will pick up some of the cost of the expansion. Many New Hampshire Republicans, including gubernatorial candidates Ovide Lamontagne and Kevin Smith, and House Speaker William O’Brien, have lined up to oppose any expansion of Medicaid. If this becomes the law in New Hampshire, it will be the triumph of ideology over common sense, and New Hampshire will have lost an opportunity to improve the health of its citizens, lower the cost of private health insurance, and boost the state’s economy. Our state budget would not work without money from Washington. Federal funds make up 30-percent of the budget, while state tax revenues make up 34-percent. User fees, licenses, court fines, and other nontax revenue make up the rest. In the past, politicians from both sides of the aisle have worked to take full advantage of federal dollars when crafting the state budget. Federal money usually comes with strings attached — some state dollars have to be contributed in order to qualify for the federal funds. Typically, the state and federal dollars are in approximately equal proportions, but sometimes one state dollar can leverage two or more federal dollars. Medicaid is a federal/state program to provide health insurance to the needy. The vast majority of those on Medicaid are children, the disabled, and the elderly, including elderly in nursing homes who are unable to afford the cost of their care. The uninsured in America are primarily the working poor who lack health insurance because their employers do not offer it, or because the cost is beyond their budget. ObamaCare calls for Medicaid eligibility to be expanded to 133-percent of the federal poverty level. This means a family of four with household income up to $30,657 would qualify. Under current New Hampshire law, a poor family is eligible for Medicaid only if its income is less than 68-percent of the federal poverty level ($15,674). The federal government will pay 100-percent of the cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years, 95-percent in the next three years, and 90-percent in the following three years. Medicaid expansion would have
three major benefits for New Hampshire. First, it is estimated that 20,000 people would become insured. Studies have shown that people with health insurance incur less in health care costs because they seek care earlier, before a condition has become acute. Better access to health care means healthier citizens. A recent study that compared states that have already expanded Medicaid (Maine, New York and Arizona) with neighboring states that have not expanded Medicaid (New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Nevada and New Mexico) found that deaths dropped over 6-percent among those who gained Medicaid coverage. We also should consider the benefits to New Hampshire businesses. Healthier workers are more productive, and take less sick time. Second, the cost of private health insurance will decrease as cost shifting is reduced. Under current federal law, hospitals cannot turn away the uninsured who seek care at emergency rooms. Caring for the uninsured is not free. Those costs are included in the cost structure of hospitals, and passed on to those with private health insurance. Third, tens of millions of dollars of new federal money will be pumped into New Hampshire’s economy. Currently, New Hampshire gets back only 68 cents of each dollar in federal taxes paid by New Hampshire citizens. Accepting the Medicaid expansion money will help change that number, particularly if some states don’t take the money (and it appears that the states most likely to refuse the Medicaid expansion money are some “red” Republican states that get far more in federal dollars than they pay in federal taxes.) The economic impact of the new Medicaid money will be equivalent to the opening of a major new employer, with the benefits spread throughout the state and its 26 hospitals. The debate over Medicaid expansion come down to this: should New Hampshire spend about $5-million a year from 2018-2020, and $10-million a year thereafter, in order to receive about $90- million in federal dollars, if the new money will decrease the number of uninsured, improve the health of New Hampshire citizens, reduce costs for employers, decrease the cost of private health insurance, and boost our state’s economy? To ask the question, you know the answer is “yes.” And you wonder how Ovide Lamontagne, Kevin Smith, Speaker O’Brien could possibly say “no.” (Mark Fernald is an attorney who lives in Sharon. A former state senator, he was the Democratic Party nominee for governor in 2002.)
LETTERS ‘Franklin Gang’ waging dirty war against a fellow Republican To the editor, Perhaps many voters of the new State Senate District 7 are unaware of the dirty tricks campaign currently being waged toward a fellow Republican, Josh Youseff, by Bill Grimm, Ken Merrifield and “The Franklin Gang”, Speaker O’Brien’s Legal Advisor Ed Mosca, and the unprincipled press (Concord Monitor) enabling them to commit the dirty deeds, done dirt cheap. Merrifield called me 2+ months ago advising me not to endorse Josh. I do believe it was a friendly suggestion; however, it led me to tell Ken that he and Grimm better not be attacking Josh on any personal matters. Well, they didn’t remember the Reagan 11th Commandment, which I interpret to mean: issues, fine, personal life, NO. Gee, this brings back memories of The Citizen reporting during one campaign that I owed the IRS. How many recently divorced small businessmen have problems with the IRS or falling behind on support payments? We have a Secretary of the Treasury who owed more than I, and he got the job of leading the IRS! After Grimm and I had a discussion of the important issues people WANT to know about recently at a Belknap County GOP Committee meeting at
Top of the Town, Josh invited his primary opponent and a friend to visit WEZS during my Saturday morning program. I expected it would be Ken, and that would certainly make it fair. Grimm turned down the offer to be in Laconia, the other city in District 7, but Josh accepted an invitation to attend a meeting in Franklin where he was surrounded by the “Franklin Gang”. I am told that Merrifield wanted to know why Josh would be in a race with such a small war chest? Hey, Ken, how about the issues? Oh, that reminds me, Grimm has already changed his position from the night at Top of the Town. Grimm told us that night that he would only pledge to oppose sales or income taxes for the first term. Now he is a hawk on spending. Where is he on Right-toWork, gay marriage, is he interested in the fight to save the unborn babies? Now Grimm and Merrifield have come up with another bonehead idea: Josh is invited to join them in Franklin for a town meeting sort of get together with Ken as the moderator. I ask of them, why so afraid to leave Franklin, boys? You do know that Laconia is part of the district, right? Niel Young Laconia
It’s time for you Laconia landlords to clean up your properties To the editor, I might be opening a can of worms... you should pardon the pun, but there is something going on in and around Laconia that needs exposure. I’m referring to the houses and apartments that are rented to people who cannot afford to live in a home of their own. While you might think that I’m going to criticize this type of housing, you are in for a surprise... I’m not, as these people need a place to live. What I am going to criticize are the owners of these properties. Yes, you know who you are. It’s time for you to “take the bull by the horns” and clean up your properties. There is no excuse for you to neglect these properties so you can have more monies in your collective pockets. Use that money you are getting from what-
ever source, to clean the outside, paint the homes, replace the windows and in general be a part of making our town look really nice for the world to see. We do live in an area that is a vacation destination for many people from around the world. I personally wouldn’t want to have our reputation sullied because of your lack of concern about your properties. Let’s make Laconia an example for other cities big and small to get their properties in the BEST condition they can for the comfort of the neighbors who live in or near them and for the rest of New Hampshire to say: “now Laconia is one heck of a wonderful small city”.

LETTERS Mitt Romeny doesn’t relate to $75 a child for school supplies
Residents don’t want Wyatt Park courts reduced in size & moved
To the editor, Mitt Romney wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal this past week entitled, “Mitt Romney: What I learned at Bain Capital”. I really wanted to read the whole thing and I will, however I got stuck on the first sentence and its ramifications and needed to respond. Quote, “The backto-school season is here, and as parents take their children to shop for school supplies, I suspect that many of them will be visiting a Staples store.” Yes Mitt all of us know that you and Bain take responsibility for creating that store. Personally I really like the store so thanks. Are you taking your children school shopping? Do you have any idea how much school supplies cost? I went online to Staples today. You can buy a card for $10, while supplies last, to get 15-percent off of school supplies. I looked for supplies for elementary children only. I added up the cost for the cheapest items that these elementary children will need to start the first day of school. Remember, these are just school supplies and not clothing. By my calculations the lowest cost per child would be about $75 dollars. OK, I’m finally getting to the point. Mitt Romney doesn’t relate to this scenario in his world. Seventy five dollars to him is nothing. What about the people who are on a limited income or unemployed in this economy. What about the people whose limited income is welfare or food stamps. Or what about the the
To the editor, Last week a decision was made by the Parks and Recreation Department on the final conceptual plan for Wyatt Park, much to the surprise and chagrin of the residents of Ward 4. Back on October 12,2011 there was a Wyatt Park charrette with discussions on what the ward residents would like to see done to improve conditions at the park and have some initial conceptual designs made, along with improvising a Police Department POP program to change some behavior problems going on, mainly at the basketball courts. Ideas for other improvements were also offered. Changing the time of closing the basketball court and instituting the police rogram were to start immediately. Six months later, on May 10, 2012, a public forum was held to discuss this and was very well attended by more than 60 people, most of them Ward 4 residents. Most of them made their viewpoints known and volunteered their time and efforts to do whatever was needed to get the park rejuvenated and be a safe place for them to go. We were all asked to sign in with contact information so updates could be sent out to keep everyone informed. I believe 39 people signed up to help. Four conceptual plans were presented and the consensus was to keep the two courts with some not objecting to them being moved, but many wanted them left where they were. The Police Department’s POP program has been most successful and the problem on the courts has disappeared. On July 24, 2012 there was a public meeting along with HEAL members. The majority attending were there for Wyatt Park discussion and the unanimous conclusion was to keep the basketball courts where they are presently. All this time we were advised we would be kept in the loop and the final conceptual drawing would be made known to us.
people who have had their house foreclosed on and have nowhere to live. I know someone will write a rebuttal to this saying that it was all Obama’s fault. Well, guess what, the Republicans have been doing for the last four years — voting against everything the president has proposed to help the economy, schools, our infrastructure, our energy problems and more. Romney wants to consolidate or gut the Department of Education. He wants to cut food stamps and school lunches. So now our children will get to go to school hungry and under educated — but for a $10 card from Staples they can save 15-percent off of school supplies — if their parents can even afford school supplies. An article in the Union Leader was about Gear for Grades sponsored by Citizens Bank, Child and Family Services, radio station WZID and the Union Leader. Backpacks were filled for elementary school students and handed out free at branches of the Citizens Bank. Most of the children receiving the backpacks come from families earning less than $22,000 per year. I am proud to say that many organizations around N.H. are providing school supplies to children in need. So Mr. Romney, you have enough money. Why don’t you donate a backpack full of supplies to every child in N.H. that needs one — we are a sales tax free state and you can get a 15-percent discount at Staples! Cathy Dawson Laconia
Let’s give Obama’s investment in our labor force chance to work To the editor, Some people think that President Obama has not improved the economy enough or quickly enough and that a smart businessman like Mitt Romney would do better. A recent study of manufacturing jobs shows why Romney’s approach is an empty promise. Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute found that 600,000 manufacturing jobs are going unfilled because employers cannot find appropriately trained applicants. Employers, asked to look ahead three to five years, said that access to a highly skilled, flexible workforce is the single most important factor in their effectiveness. Young people need higher levels of training to qualify for such jobs, which will be outsourced if not filled here. Believe in America: Mitt Romney’s Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth proposes to combine all federal jobs programs into one program to operate through block grants to the states. Unfortunately, in the Romney/Ryan budget, education and jobs programs are among non-defense discretionary budget items that analysts estimate may be cut as much as 40-percent
from current, already reduced, levels in order to spare Medicare, Social Security, defense spending, and tax cuts for the wealthy. The infrastructure for addressing America’s shortage of skilled workers is already in place in community colleges. Many community colleges have partnered with local governments and employers in aligning their programs with employers’ needs. Over half of our undergraduates, often those struggling out of poverty, already attend community colleges. But in New Hampshire, squeezed like many other states by falling revenues, the legislature has cut funding to the university system in half. Tax cuts haven’t created job growth in our country, and budget austerity has been a dismal failure abroad. President Obama is investing in improving high school standards and graduation rates and in making college more affordable. After the worst recession since the Great Depression, we should give his investment in our young labor force a chance to work. Diana Sack Laconia
There are a lots of seniors & we’re tired of being messed with To the editor, Is anyone out there as sick of phone calls at 8:30 at night as I am? And the questions that don’t make a lot of sense! First they ask if you vote. Then when you say “no”, they ignore that and go on to how old you are. Then ask would you to vote for someone who wanted to change Medicare. And why would I do
also to you how old I am. I worked and paid it my whole life so why would I wan’t someone to mess with Medicare? I depend on that. As so millions of other seniors, who do vote. So someone who wanted to be in office should be really careful because there are a lot of seniors and we are very tired of being messed with and treated like throw aways once see next page
However, on July 20, 2012 at the regular Parks & Recreation Commission meeting, with no one present from Ward 4 except myself, the final plan was presented to the commission as an item for the Capital Improvement Program plan. This plan removed the present double basketball courts and moved a single one to the other side and at the front end of the park next to the swing area for small children. This without any input from the residents of Ward 4, who presumably were to have a say in what would be done. This is also an unessential expense and they have cut the court in half. To demolish and dig up the court and then lay a new court floor and fencing, etc. is an expense that is not necessary. The present court needs to be sealed and the fencing repaired. We have the money now for this. There are many other items in the Parks’ CIP list, totaling $900,000, with $500,000 for a new park at the Weirs, $100,000 plus for new park house at Opechee for materials, as they hope for volunteers to do the labor. To go to the CIP means it will be in CIP for a couple of months, then to the Planning Board, and then to City Manager in December for readiness in next year’s budget, which will not take place until next June. So, we are looking at yet another year waiting. And, just because it is in the budget, doesn’t mean it will pass. Presently, we have $50,000 for Wyatt, and as has been done in the past, monies can be transferred from one account to another if it is necessary. I also note that the Wyatt Park Association has $7,000 in its account which can also be used. We must do everything we can to keep the enthusiasm and willingness of the people to pitch in and do whatever is needed. Right now, they are very disappointed and their hope is vanishing. A final decision by the commission was not voted on, so I would ask for reconsideration. Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4, Laconia

LETTERS Politicians keep people from dealing with shame of moral lapses
I highly recommend Rep. Guy Comtois for 2nd term in N.H. House
To the editor, Politicians, you have to give it to them. Their motives are so pure. They love people even more than God does because they always try to improve on what He has done. God created Adam and Eve in order to procreate and populate the earth. Society has always called that union “marriage” and it has been upheld by society for very selfish reasons. It was understood that blood is thicker than water and would therefore create the strongest bond there is. From the small family unit would then develop the community into larger and larger groups that shared certain values. In order to uphold those values, taboos were established to protect society from misfortunes by a breakdown of these established rules. To make people feel ashamed was one of the methods used to aid in adherence to societal values. It did not always work as we are all tempted in various ways but it did have a positive influence. Politicians pure motives just made them feel compelled to help people not to have to deal with this “shame” because aren’t we all guilty of moral lapses? Phrases like “if it feels good, do it” or “I have a right to have all the children I want regardless whether married or able to afford them” or “why shouldn’t homosexuals have the right to be married?” It is certainly understood that homosexuals want to form unions with one another to express a very human need for love and companionship. They can call this union anything they desire but not “marriage”, which fulfills a very different purpose. Their unions should be protected by laws and benefits but of a different kind than those that aid families with children. It is children we need to continue the life cycle and in turn protect the elders in their time of
To the editor, Here in New Hampshire, local elections will decide if we will continue on the path to correct the budgetary and regulatory woes that have plagued small farms, small businesses and working families throughout the state. It is vital that we elect people of courage and conviction to stand up to those that would tax and spend us into bankruptcy. One candidate who has displayed the needed attributes is Representative Guy Comtois of Barnstead. I came to know Guy through the last election. Working with him on the campaign trail, he displayed a willingness to work hard and to stand for what was right. I also saw the concern he had for the debt being left to the children of our state. This is truly a candidate that cares about the future. One of the many qualities that Guy has exhibited is leadership. As the primary sponsor of HB-1402, Representative Comtois worked with legislators on both sides of the aisle, and garnered unanimous bi-partisan

need. The 1960s gave us the flower children, hippies, reckless sex and illegal drugs. The consequences were dire and we had the “war on poverty” which decimated the family units by moving “dad” out of the picture. The inner cities paid the highest price. Then ingeniously was decreed the “politically correct” agenda in order to stifle free speck. Heaven forbid that anyone should mention the decline of cultural values. From now on we had to be tolerant and could no longer express an opinion without being called a racist, homophobe or given any other derogatory label. The feminist movement was a wonderful tool for politicians. We still have “war on women”. The movement had some positive and also many negative results. Ignored was the fact that there is a vast difference between men and women so designed as to complement each other for the benefit of both and their families. However, the choice of how to apply their God-given talents should never have been denied to either of them. The problem was that women were told they could have it all and the state of being a housewife was looked down upon. The statement “I’m just a housewife” was repeated by many of those that had chosen to stay home. Others decided to enter the job market and to move up the corporate ladder. Both choices had positive effects. The negative part was paid by youngsters whose moms were not available when needed for guidance and nurturing and also by moms being overworked for fulfilling the roles of employee, mother and wife. Now politicians are working hard to find ways to forgive the debts of those that have bought houses they could not afford in the first place. Most of the blame lies with the politicians when they passed laws that made banks approve improper mortgages. But what is debt to a politician? They put the country into debt for SIXTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS. This is the price all the citizens have to pay and be responsible for. But who should complain when politicians did it primarily out of the goodness of their heart simply to help the folks WHO voted them into power. Karin Valade Laconia

support in both the New Hampshire House and Senate. This legislation alleviated some of the regulatory and finan burdens on micro-farms and small home businesses around the state. It opened up the market so the consumer could have a choice on buying local healthy products for their families. This also creates an option for beginning farmers to increase business and run a profitable farm and preserve open space. It is precisely for his strength of character, deeply held convictions, and demonstrated abilities, that I am compelled to give my unequivocal support to Representative Comtois in the September 11th primary. If you find that these qualities should be the measure of a good candidate, then may I recommend that you re-elect Representative Guy Comtois to a second term. You simply could not do any better.

Obama’s Affordable Care Act strengthens & protects Medicare To the editor, Simply put, Medicare is a successful government run insurance policy for those 65 and over. It is funded by you, that is anyone who is working and pays a premium each payday. Medicare provides a medical plan for senior citizens. It pays about 80-percent of the cost of the insured’s medical expenses. It works and it works well for most of us. The Romney-Ryan team would change this drastically. They would increase senior’s health costs and average of $6,350 a year. They would eliminate the opportunity to have Medicare for your children under 65 as well as your aunts, uncles and friends. The safety net that Medicare provides would be cut to ribbons.
President Obama pushed and succeeded in passing the Affordable Care Act. It strengthens and protects Medicare. It reduces waste and fraud in Medicare. It extended the the Medicare Trust Fund by eight years. This was no small task. In New Hampshire the new drug prescription alone discounts have saved 13,000 seniors an average of $620 per year. It would be a catastrophe to elect a team that takes Medicare away from our seniors. Think of that when you vote in November. Your vote for President Obama will continue to strengthen Medicare, it is that plain and simple. Joe Denning Bristol
Come & meet Ian Raymond in Sanbornton on Thursday evening To the editor, I first met Ian Raymond of Sanbornton at an annual school district meeting. He offered a proposal for a biomass energy plant for Winnisquam Regional High School. His grasp of his subject and straight forward presentation won the day. That and other energy savings proposals fostered by Raymond have saved our taxpayers substantial amounts of money and brought about millions in school improvements with no increase in taxes. Ian chaired the Sanbornton Energy Committee for several years and was responsible for more than one million dollars in grants being awarded our community.
Ian Raymond is now running for state representative, District 4, on the Democratic ballot in the primary on September 11. He needs the votes of Democrats and Undeclared voters in order to be on the ballot in November. He is the high caliber of person we need representing Sanbornton and Tilton in Concord next year. Come and meet Ian on Thursday, August 30 at 7 p.m. at the Lane Tavern in Sanbornton Square. The Sanbornton Democratic Town Committee will be serving dessert and beverages. It is a perfect time to ask Ian questions about the important issues. Gail C. Morrison, Chair Sanbornton Democratic Committee
President knows middle class strongest when everyone has a shot To the editor, Women, please inform yourselves of the consequences of a Republican victory in the fall and the implications on issues effecting you. This week at the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are doubling down on policies that would roll back the clock on women’s health and economic security. They have refused to stand up
for paycheck fairness, vowed to take away access to health care for millions of women and would put health care decisions in the hands of their employers. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would also give tax breaks to the wealthy by raising taxes on the backs of millions of middle-class families.

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — The City Council last night granted a request by the Putnam Fund Advisory Committee to ask the Belknap County Probate Court for authority to draw on the principal of the trust fund, as well as from its income and dividends, to finance performances. The Putnam Fund began some 40 years ago with the bequest of Nellie Chamberlain, who left the city some $240,000 to provide “free courses or lectures on history, literature, art or science.” Since then the fund has grown to almost $1-million. Since 1967 the Putnam Fund has sponsored performances by Duke Ellington, the Four Freshman, Patti Page, Judy Collins and the Von Trapp Family Singers as well as appearances by author Alex Haley, pundit Jack Anderson and weatherman Willard Scott. Charles Bradley, one of the five members of the committee, told the council that until recently it was understood that expenditures could be funded from the principal balance. However, he said that four or five years ago the Trustees of the Trust Funds ruled that only income and dividends could be used to fund events. He explained that with the low interest rates that have prevailed since the onset of the recession, the annual returns to the fund have not been sufficient to present events of the number and quality to which the committee has long been accustomed. The committee proposed that if the principal balance exceeds $900,000 at

LUNCH from page one percent), its still more than double the statewide average. The statewide profile listed on the Department of Education’s website reports that 25.7 percent of New Hampshire children qualify for free or reduced price school meals. The problem for Goossens, and other districts with high rates of free or reduced price meals, is that the reimbursement for a school lunch, as determined by the USDA, is $2.86, a price Goossens called “Woefully inadequate.” Lunch could cost as much as $3.25 for students who pay full price. “We get a lot more money for a paid meal than a free one,” he said. The USDA also subsidizes the fullprice meals at the rate of $0.27. That means that for a full-paid lunch for which a student pays $3.25, the school receives a total of $3.52, $0.66 more than what the school gets as reimbursement for a free meal. There was a period when the $2.86 reimbursement was more than enough to cover his costs, said Goossens, and districts saw a windfall for every free and reduced meal. However, the USDA reimbursement program hasn’t kept pace with production costs, and districts are left to their own devices to try and balance income with expenses. In response, districts instituted the sale of lucrative snack foods. That solution was temporary, though, because districts shortly thereafter implemented healthyeating policies, ruling out the most popular and profitable snacks. Now, directors such as Goossens have to make enough on full-price students to try and close the gap left by free and reduced reimbursements. Households can enroll in the federal program through multiple channels. Those which benefit from state food assistance programs, such as SNAP or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, are automatically enrolled. Alternatively, households may also join the program by submitting a paper application, which are sent home to families or may be downloaded from the
school district’s website on the “food service” page. Only one application per household need be submitted; a student’s eligibility from a previous year carries over for the first 30 days of the following year. After the 30 day window has closed, families must reapply every year. Eligibility requirements for reduced price meals are described in a matrix of household members and household income. For a household of two, the income threshold is $27,991. For a family of five the threshold raises to $49,969. Students who fall between these thresholds pay $0.40 per meal and the school receives $2.46 in reimbursement. Goossens said only a small percentage — less than ten percent — of the those getting food aid falls within the reduced range. Most Laconia beneficiaries of the program pay nothing for meals. To eat free, students must come from households that earn less than $19,669 for a household of two, $35,113 for a household with five members, or for a family of eight, $50,557. For students who have free or reduced-price meals, Goossens said there should be no way for their peers to tell the difference. Gone are the days when students reported their name to lunch attendants, who then flipped through a binder to verify their status. Now, school cafeterias utilize a point-ofsale system linked to a student’s school identification number. The transaction would look the same whether it’s a student receiving a free lunch or a one drawing from a pre-paid account. “Nobody should be able to tell there’s a difference,” said Goossens. The application process depends on self-reporting of income, at least initially, said Goossens. USDA regulations require the food service department to verify, every November, three percent of the non-direct certification households in the program. “We know there’s fraud,” said Goossens, but his department has neither the authority nor the available personnel to pursue things more than is required.
APPLE from page 2 ages to $3.15 billion because of the jury’s finding that Samsung “willfully” copied Apple. Apple filed its lawsuit in April of last year alleging that 28 Samsung smartphones and computer tablets had “slavishly copied” the iPhones and iPads. Samsung countered with its own claims that Apple used its wireless technology without proper compensation. A nine-person jury in its verdict Friday unanimously agreed with Apple. Most of the damages were tied to Samsung’s smartphones. The jury rejected Samsung’s counterclaims. Most of the Samsung products found to have “infringed’ Apple’s patent were older devices no longer being sold. The list Apple presented to the court on
Monday represent devices it believes are still being sold in U.S. stores, including several versions of the company’s popular S2 phones introduced last year. Samsung’s newest and hottest selling smartphone, the Galaxy S3, was not part of the lawsuit and is unaffected by the jury’s verdict. The award represents about 1.5 percent of Samsung’s annual revenue. Analysts said the embarrassment of the verdict is a bigger blow for Samsung than the financial setback. Still, the question remains whether Samsung and other Apple competitors will have to redesign their smartphones to avoid infringing Apple’s patents. Most analysts agree the verdict sends a threatening message to device makers such as Samsung, which use Google’s Android operating system.

Woodsmen’s Competition well received as finale to Gilford’s Old Home Day & 200th birthday celebration By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — “This is great. I hope we can do this every Old Home Day weekend,’’ said Sally Bickford as she watched a Woodsmen’s Competition which attracted more than 250 people to a field next to the Gilford Elementary School on Sunday. Bickford, who is a member of the Gilford Bicentennial committee and who came up with the idea for the competition, said that the event was more successful than organizers had hoped for, thanks in large part to the contributions of local businesses like Belknap Landscaping and the Gilford Home Center. ‘’Maybe we can move it to Saturday afternoon of Old Home Day next year, when there’s a big lull in activity. That would really give people a lot to see after the parade,’’ said Bickford. Citizen Watches Repairs

Last week we discussed the “Insured Retirement Solution”, and “Bold Solution” with respect to “Pooling Risk”. The concept of needing “guaranteed income streams” to promote our self-reliance away from government is important due to increasing liability on our State and Federal retirement programs. The unfunded liability in many State Retirement Systems is jeopardizing our retirement security and our way of life after age 65. However, if we take individual responsibility, and look towards promoting products like individual deferred annuities, we can give ourselves income for life. Many Americans should consider purchasing these necessary annuities from their Financial Advisor because income that lasts through your lifetime is critical to help pay costs associated with retiring. What do you fear most… Death, or outliving your money? According to the study conducted by Allianz Life in 2010, “Reclaiming the Future”, 61% of boomers are concerned about “outliving their money”, compared to only 39% who feared “Death” (study conducted for the Life Insurance Marketing Research Association (LIMRA)). Boomers are not alone in this desire to know more about how to maintain income for life. Financial professionals now recognize the need to make adjustments. According to a 2009 survey of 1200 financial professionals, the top three areas that required more attention are: Strategies to guarantee income in retirement (76%), Strategies to minimize the risk of outliving assets (74%), Techniques to protect against market volatility (70%). Change is without question on the way for planners in the retirement professional services. Government regulators are publicly stating a desire for guaranteed retirement income solutions, with annuities playing a central role. The problem is that the word “annuity” continues to have a negative perception in the general public based on attitudes formed about the product 10 to 20 years ago. Allianz Life study, mentioned previously, found that the most important attributes of financial products were as follows: Stable, predictable retirement standard of living, Guaranteed income stream for life, Guaranteed not to lose value, Protection against Market downside. In reality, the financial product that consumers want is, in fact, what an annuity has to offer. Ironically the lowest rated attribute was: the opportunity to participate in market upside. Annuity owners are happy For those who have second thoughts about annuities, the same Allianz study found that an informed owner of a fixed annuity is a happy consumer. According to the study, 80% of annuity owners are happy with their purchase because of the “Safety, Growth and Control” aspect. This ranks second highest in satisfaction among all financial products. Interestingly, 46% of respondents stated that their Financial Advisor had not presented an annuity as an option. In conclusion, the world of retirement planning has changed!! The fundamental perceptions of how to best prepare for retirement, in an increasingly uncertain economy and world, have also changed. Whether or not consumers, educators, politicians, the media, government officials, or business leaders want to accept or acknowledge this structural change, one thing is certain – the demand and need for guaranteed lifetime income and long term security will only grow in the coming years. Next week I will wrap up the discussion with a final overview and landscapes of retirement, and retirement planning perspectives. Dave Kutcher is certified in Long-Term Care Planning.

GOP from page 2 tronic tally board labeled “Debt from Convention Start,” meant to show the government steadily borrowing under Obama’s leadership throughout the convention. The week was turning out to be about both meteorology and politics. Romney’s top aides and convention planners were juggling their desire for a robust rouse-the-Republicans convention with concern about appearing uncaring as New Orleans faced a threat from Isaac precisely seven years after the city was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Forecasters predicted Isaac would intensify into a Category 1 hurricane by Tuesday with top sustained winds between 74 and 95 mph, and said its projected path went through New Orleans. Opinion polls made the presidential race nearly even as Republicans launched their convention, although it appeared Obama had a slim advantage in battleground states where the election is most likely to be decided. It was anything but certain what the impact would be on the campaign of back-to-back convention weeks, first Romney’s and then the president’s in Charlotte, N.C. The economy is the number one issue by far in the polls, and Romney’s surrogates sought to make sure the campaign focus stays fixed on it. A blunt view came from Gary Hawkins, a delegate from Brandon, Miss. “We have to nominate a candidate for president. Our mission is to save America from becoming a socialistic state,” he said. In the convention hall, Priebus looked out at thousands of empty seats and a smattering of delegates in his brief turn on stage. Officials decided earlier in the week to scrap nearly all of the opening day’s program when it appeared that Isaac might make a direct hit on the convention city. That put Romney’s formal nomination off by a day until Tuesday. Weather permitting, he delivers his acceptance speech on Thursday night, then embarks on a fall campaign that he hopes will propel
him to the White House. Romney’s wife, Ann, is on the speaking program for Tuesday evening, and it wasn’t known if he intended to be in the hall for her address. “This week is about convincing the 10 percent of undecided voters that Romney has always been called to come out and fix broken organizations,” said Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., interviewed on the convention floor. “We’ve got to make the case that he is uniquely qualified in this hour” he said, adding that the “country is in bankruptcy.” Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, carried a similar message to his state’s delegates at a morning meeting. “It’s time to stop blaming others and take responsibility,” he said in a reference to the president. “There are families all over Ohio that are suffering as a result. He hasn’t measured up to his own standards. “ What passed for vocal dissent within the party came from supporters of Rep. Ron Paul, a Texas Republican who ran for the presidential nomination but failed to win a primary or caucus. Delegates loyal to him threatened a floor fight later in the week over party rules. And they staged a brief but noisy demonstration at the rear of the convention hall after Priebus completed his brief turn at the podium, holding up placards bearing their man’s name. They stood in front of a permanent sign that said “We Can Do Better,” appropriating Romney’s pledge to fix the economy to express a preference for their man. More than dissent, there was concern from within the party, though couched in supportive terms, that despite the political opportunity that the weak economy presents, Romney needs to broaden GOP appeal. “This is Romney’s threshold moment. He must demonstrate that he would follow the example of other Republican presidents in addressing issues important to women,” Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, wrote in The Washington Post, one of several party leaders to express the view.
Cash bail continued for alleged drug dealer BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After a brief bail hearing yesterday afternoon, Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll refused to release a Laconia man charged with selling heroin on personal recognizance bail. He also kept in place and an order that Joshua R. McLean, 26, of 59 Weirs Boulevard Apt. 6 show the source of his money should he be able to raise the $3,500. McLean was arrested August 21 on an outstanding warrant for heroin sales. Police executed a traffic stop when on officer recognized McLean to be a passenger in his girlfriend’s car. Police statements said they impounded the car in which McLean was a passenger and, after getting a search warrant, found $750 in cash and a sandwich bag with about 15 oxycodone pills from what appeared to be two different manufacturers. Police also executed a search warrant at McLean’s home where they allegedly found one full gallon plastic bag of marijuana and a quarter of a gallon bag of marijuana. Police also said the found packaging material consistent with drug sales.
Arguing against showing the source of McLean’s possible bail money was Public Defender Wade Harwood who said $750 was not necessarily a lot of money. “Nobody knows where the money came from,” countered City Prosecutor Jim Sawyer. “The purpose of the ruling is to stop (a defendant) from using ill-gotten gains to get out of jail.” Harwood also asked for Judge Carroll to reduce McLean’s cash bail to personal recognizance bail should he be accepted into a residential treatment program. Carroll replied that he already made a similar order in his previous ruling but said he didn’t know if McLean’s was drug or alcohol dependent or if his alleged drug sales were “business.” “Without a proffer that he needs (residential treatment), its just a way to get out of jail,” said Sawyer. Harwood spoke briefly to McLean and told Carroll that his client admitted to drug use so Carroll said he would allow entrance into a residential treatment program. “I find he is extraordinarily dangerous to the community,” said Carroll, continuing McLean’s cash-only bail.
Watercraft explodes on Southern N.H. lake RINDGE, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Marine Patrol is trying to find out what caused a personal watercraft explosion on a lake in Rindge. The explosion happened Sunday afternoon on Lake Monomonac. A brother and sister were on the watercraft and were thrown into the water. The operator was identified as 31-year-old John Howe Jr. He and
29-year-old Emily Howe suffered nonlife-threatening injuries. They were from Sterling, Mass. The Marine Patrol said the two had launched the watercraft and were about five feet from the boat launch when they pressed the ignition and were ejected 10 feet from the vessel. Someone helped them to shore; they were wearing personal flotation devices.
BURGLARY from page one “We were okay and it was just stuff,” she said. She notified Laconia Police just after 8 a.m. “I wish I had called the police right away,” she said, noting that had police known immediately, there were things they could of done like bring in a K-9 and additional officers perhaps catching the person or persons responsible. The victim also recounted that others in the neighborhood have reported burglaries in their home — including one person on Emerald Drive who was not home. She said the person or people made an unsuccessful attempt to get into a safe in the victim’s home. The Daily Sun has been unable to verify the Emerald Drive incident with city police. The woman also said her neighbors have been talking about other burglaries in the neighborhood but, to her knowledge, this is the first time a home was targeted where there were obviously people inside sleeping. About 10 days ago, police confirmed a home on Lafayette Street was burglarized while the homeowner was away. The weekend burglary of an occupied home brings back memories of the bedtime burglars — Joshua Shepard and Spencer Mullarkey — who are both in jail and, as part of
their plea arrangement, admitted to police to burglarizing 51 homes in Laconia, Belmont, Gilford and Sanbornton last summer. The two were caught when city Police Officer Brandy Enis recognized Shepard, knew there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest on an unrelated matter, and pulled him over in a traffic stop. She noticed what appeared to be burglary tools in his car. Police Capt. Matt Canfield said yesterday that there have been a number of burglaries in the city but this is the first time this summer that a home has been targeted while people were in it. He also said some of the burglaries have been in the Pine Hill section of the city but said others have occurred in different neighborhoods. He encouraged people to lock their doors and windows at night and, if possible, to leave an outside light on. He said people are encouraged to report any suspicious behavior in and around their neighborhoods. “Please don’t think you’re bothering us,” Canfield said. “This is what we do and every little bit of information helps us.” Anyone with any information about this weekend’s burglary or any other crime is encouraged to call Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the anonymous Greater Laconia Police Crime Line at 524-1717.

At 200, Gilford recalls when there were more cows than condos By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — The Granite Monthly of 1898 said that ‘’Gilford is in every respect a community of farmers’’ and that observation was to remain true for the next 50 or so years. Just five years before that was written, the most populous part of the town, Lakeport, had joined the city of Laconia, reducing the population of Gilford from 3,585 to only 660. There were more cattle, 839, in Gilford in 1898 than there were people and that was to remain true for decades to come. By 1950 the population of the town had nearly doubled, all the way up to 1,251. And cows were still predominant in the town, which featured many dairy herds (Weeks, Sawyer and Labonte farms
among others). Jo Clark, a long-time Gilford resident who was dressed in period costume for the town’s 94th annual Old Home Day on Saturday, a special event as the town is also celebrating its 200th birthday, sat in front of the 1834 Union Meetinghouse, just across the entryway to the Village Field, waiting for the parade to start and recalls the days when cows were everywhere in town. She grew up on Old Lake Shore Road in the 1950s, in a home now owned by her brother, Jim Colby, and says that she can remember when the Village Field, now the site of playing fields and Gilford High School and Gilford Middle School, was used as a cow pasture. Clark went to school at the Gilford Elementary School, which was built in 1939, and attended Lacosee next page

street to get home.’’ Peavey says that he can recall driving to town clerk and tax collector Lorraine Royce’s home on Gunstock Hill Road to pay his taxes because there was no full-time office at Town Hall. He and his wife were on the porch of the Gilford Village Store to watch the parade and he said that he hasn’t missed many Old Home Days. ‘’We’re getting older and don’t do much of anything else these days,’’ said Peavey, who is a volunteer driver for the Saint Vincent de Paul Society’s food pantry in Laconia. ‘’But we do like to come here on Old Home Day and see the people we haven’t seen all year,’’ said Peavey. The parade, which ran for more than an hour, featured many local floats with a birthday theme, a Wells Fargo stage coach, bands, two teams of oxen from Ox-K Farm and Megan Lyman, a local girl who now wears the Miss New Hampshire crown. There was also a large contingent of political walkers, including Republican gubernatorial candidates Ovide Lamontagne and Kevin Smith, GOP congressman Frank Guinta and Carol-Shea Porter, former two-term Democratic House member, as well as State Senate and House candidates.

nia High School, where she graduated in1959 and went on to UNH and spent a career working for the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. She says that aside from a 6-7 year period in which she and her husband lived in Hampton, she’s been at just about every Gilford Old Home Day over the last 40 years and has commemorative T-shirts from most of them. John Peavey and his wife, Madeline, have lived in Gilford for well over 50 years. During that time the town has added more than 5,000 people and today has around 7,300 residents. The Peaveys live on Ridgewood Avenue, where there were no homes at all in 1950, and when they first came to town lived in an upstairs apartment at the Morrill Farm on Morrill Street. ‘’There were no other homes on the street all the way down to the Laconia line and only one house above us near Sleeper Hill Road. We used to go skiing on the hill where Skyline Drive is now located and there were no homes in that area. There were no streetlights and one night my wife was walking home and had to practically feel her way up the
The Red Sox took three of four in the wraparound series and won for the second time in three games since trading Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford to the Dodgers on Saturday in a salary-dumping, nine-player deal. “Obviously he’s going to get another start — two, three, four or five,” Boston manager Bobby Valentine said. “He might finish strong throwing like that.” Jacoby Ellsbury had a solo homer and a double for Boston, which opens a nine-game West Coast trip Tuesday night against the Los Angles Angels. It was the first time Matsuzaka’s pitched more than six innings. The Red Sox won for just the seventh time in 19 games. Luke Hochevar (7-12) took the loss, giving up five runs and eight hits in his second complete game this season. Boston broke a 1-1 tie on Ross’ two-run single in the third. Scott Podsednik and Dustin Pedroia each singled before Ross hit a drive high off the Green Monster, but he was thrown out trying to stretch it on Alex Gordon’s throw.

BOSTON (AP) — All the offseason work, rehab starts and minor league outings finally paid off for Daisuke Matsuzaka. Matsuzaka returned from the disabled list with his best start of the season and Cody Ross drove in three runs, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Starting the season on the DL after Tommy John surgery in June, Matsuzaka (1-3) earned his first big league win since May 16 of last season. The Japanese right-hander made eight rehab starts before he rejoined the rotation in June, but went back on the DL in early July with a strained neck muscle. Then it was back to the minors for another five starts. “I tried back in June and I didn’t get the results I wanted. I didn’t feel like I’d be able to come back strong again this season,” he said through a translator. “I went back to my final two rehab starts and threw the ball really well. I knew if I could do that up here the results would come.” Matsuzaka gave up an unearned run and five hits, walking two and striking out six over seven innings in just his sixth start of the season.

Treasure of Belknap Mill traces history of the structure LACONIA — First it was a piece of land by a river. Then it was a brick structure that produced textiles. Then it was in danger of being razed during a progressive movement for urban renewal. Then it was saved from demolition and recognized as an historical gem of the Lakes Region. Today the historic Belknap Mill on Beacon Street in downtown Laconia stands as a proud testament to the years it served as a textile mill and the manner in which it was saved and turned into a cultural center for the area. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Belknap Mill, built in 1823, has a very long history and that history is depicted in the current exhibit Treasures of the Belknap Mill. The exhibit is on display in the first-floor gallery of the Belknap Mill through Labor Day; a number of fascinating images show how the Mill has grown and changed over the decades. “We explored our Belknap Mill files and historical documents and photographs to come up with the many images in the exhibit that reflect where the Mill has been down through the years,” says nBelknap Mill marketing agent Kathi Hopper. “It is truly amazing what a diverse collection the Belknap Mill owns; former executive directors such as Mary Rose Boswell ensured the collection of old photographs and documents were preserved and stored for future use. It has allowed us to pick and choose images and items that reflect the Mill’s long and interesting history for this exhibit.” The Belknap Mill exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free and open to the public. For information call 524-8813. The Belknap Mill also has a well-stocked gift shop with everything from knit socks to jewelry to historical books and postcards and an interactive Wheel House exhibit. The Historic Belknap Mill is located on Beacon St. in downtown Laconia with plenty of free nearby

5th Annual Circle Triathlon held Labor Day Weekend in Ashland ASHLAND — It’s not too late to register for the 5th Annual Circle Triathlon on Sunday, September 2 during the Labor Day Weekend. Riveredge Marina and Squam River Landing (at 283 River Street in Ashland) will again host the sprint-style race with over 500 hundred triathletes, 600 spectators, and 150 volunteers ready to participate. Race Directors Martha Macomber and Barry Gaw of Riveredge Marina began this event in 2008 as a way to benefit the Circle Program while promoting a communityoriented race that encourages physical fitness, sportsmanship, and an introduction to the sport of triathlon. This fun and family-friendly, threelevel race offers something for every age and ability level. Individuals may run all three legs (run, bike, and swim) or many enlist friends or family to make up a team with each member taking a turn at one of the legs. Experienced triathletes will challenge themselves with the most difficult race, the Mount Chocorua (starting promptly at 8 a.m.) which includes a 12-mile bike ride with hills, a 2.7 mile run, and a quarter mile swim. Last year, the Mount Chocorua included triathletes from age 16 through 59 years old. Triathletes leave in waves of 50 which are assigned in the order that they registered. The medium-level race is the Mount Morgan (starting at 10:30 a.m.) which includes a 3-mile bike ride, a halfmile run, and a 200-yard swim. Last year, triathletes in the Mount Morgan ranged from the age of 9 to 81, with the majority of the participants between 10 and 14 years old. The beginner-level race is the Mount Rattlesnake (starting at 11:15 a.m.) which includes a 1.4 mile bike ride, a quarter-mile run, and a 50-yard swim.

Or, register the morning of the race at the “Same Day Registration” table beginning at 7:30 a.m. Triathlete fundraisers can win exciting prizes if they raise money for the Circle Program. By setting up a fundraising web page on the Active. com site ( http://www.active.com/ donate/circletri2012 ), people can help raise money to enroll a low income NH girl in the Circle Program. The Circle Program provides girls with new opportunities to learn the skills, courage and confidence they need to handle the challenges in their lives. With adult and peer support through our year-round mentoring and residential summer camp programs, Circle girls learn how to make healthy choices and long-lasting friendships that help them thrive. As a Circle Tri fundraiser, people can personally make a difference in the life of a girl who will benefit from the Circle Program. Fundraisers who raise $3,000 or more will win a $300 gift certificate to the Common Man family of restaurants; those who raise over $2,000 will win a $200 gift certificate to Rhino Bike Works; and those who raise over $1,000 will win a gift certificate to an area restaurant.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis you interact in the world, and they can feel the warm energy you project. For this reason, you’ll attract many different types of people, and you’ll have to weed out what you don’t want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your timing is exquisite. You will be enthusiastic when it counts, confident when it matters most and restful when your body and mind most need restoration. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today provides you with the opportunity to gratefully acknowledge your competition. After all, they are the reason you’ll get so good at what you have set out to do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re a productivity ninja. Like the best ninjas, you carefully choose your target, you don’t act unless you’re sure, and you use the elements in your environment to your best advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes it’s actually better to procrastinate. It saves you from potentially futile efforts. You’d be amazed at how many problems will solve themselves today simply because you neglected them. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 28). You’ll further your aims as you look for opportunities to give your knowledge, energy and other resources to those who could use them. September begins a journey. You’ll trade old habits for a new look in October. November settles a debt. January brings fresh relationships and a mentor who helps you earn. Gemini and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 24, 19, 48 and 1.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Artists inspire you, but that doesn’t mean you want to copy what they do. There’s something in the essence that carries over into your work. The result is an homage. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve had many practice runs at a certain task, and now you’re ready to show that you can do it for real. Your courage and confidence rise as your safety net depletes. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You need privacy, silence and long stretches of time to do your work. Stake your claim on a room with a door that closes out the rest of the world, even if that room happens to be a closet. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ask for a favor and elaborate some as to the reason why you need it. People will love to help you (especially fellow water signs) when they understand why you need the help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Success depends on self-reliance. Dive in, and along the way, you’ll pick up the skills, supplies and knowledge you need. A Capricorn will be instrumental. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you do the things that feed your soul, your soul will grow, animating even the smallest parts of your daily life and radiating through your words and actions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you stumble, don’t worry. Falling is an opportunity. While you’re down there, pick up something off of the ground that might be useful to you when you come back up. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have an open heart. People watch

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Aug. 28, the 241st day of 2012. There are 125 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 28, 1862, the Second Battle of Bull Run (also known as Second Manassas) began in Prince William County, Va., during the Civil War (the result was a Confederate victory). On this date: In 1609, English sea explorer Henry Hudson and his ship, the Half Moon, reached present-day Delaware Bay. In 1910, the Kingdom of Montenegro was proclaimed. In 1922, the first-ever radio commercial aired on station WEAF in New York City (the 10-minute advertisement was for the Queensboro Realty Co., which had paid a fee of $100). In 1947, legendary bullfighter Manolete (manoh-LEH’-tay) died after being gored during a fight in Linares, Spain; he was 30. In 1955, Emmett Till, a black teen-ager from Chicago, was abducted from his uncle’s home in Money, Miss., by two white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman; he was found brutally slain three days later. In 1962, Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter resigned; President John F. Kennedy nominated Arthur Goldberg to succeed him. In 1963, more than 200,000 people listened as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In 1968, police and anti-war demonstrators clashed in the streets of Chicago as the Democratic National Convention nominated Hubert H. Humphrey for president. In 1972, Mark Spitz of the United States won the first two of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics, finishing first in the 200-meter butterfly and anchoring the 400-meter freestyle relay. In 1988, 70 people were killed when three Italian stunt planes collided during an air show at the U.S. Air Base in Ramstein, West Germany. In 1990, an F5 tornado struck the Chicago area, killing 29 people. One year ago: A suicide bomber blew himself up inside Baghdad’s largest Sunni mosque, killing 29 people during prayers. California returned the Little League World Series title to the United States a 2-1 victory over Hamamatsu City, Japan. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Sonny Shroyer is 77. Actor Ken Jenkins is 72.

Four Laconia High School students recently completed the St. Paul’s Advanced Studies Program in Concord, NH. The students and their programs from left to right are: Hannah Fortson (Molecular Biology), Andrew Kerns (Mass Media), James Guyer (Artificial Intelligence), and Katelyn Bailey (Studio Arts). The summer program at St. Paul’s is prestigious, highly selective, and rigorous. Students who attend often say it is a life-altering experience because they are able to pursue an area of academic interest of their choosing and study it with invested, high-achieving students like themselves. This year’s group from Laconia High School cited the reading, intellectual curiousity of their peers, handson activities, high level of student engagement, deep questions, and friendships as some of the reasons why their summer at St. Paul’s was so engaging and rewarding.

Regional model sailing regatta Sunday in Wolfeboro’s Back Bay WOLFEBORO — On Sunday, September 2, The New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Back Bay Skippers will host top sailors from all over the Northeast and Canada in the American Model Yacht Association’s Regional 1 meter Soling Championship Regatta. The event is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. followed by the awards ceremony and takes place in Back Bay. The races can be watched from the Bridge Falls Path. Sailors will be racing using solings hulls. The soling is a scaled down version of an Olympic class yacht. It was developed in the 1960s and is one of the most popular classes in the American Model Yacht Association’s fleet. It carries 600 square inches of sail and
displaces a minimum of 10 pounds. The only difference between the 1 meter and its full-scale brothers is that it is sailed by remote control operated by the sailor who is located on shore, rather than on board. It sails under the same rules and experiences the same fierce competition. Mark Whitehead, Chair of the Back Bay Skippers, says, “We are honored to host the Region 1 Regatta and look forward to seeing racers from throughout the Northeast competing in Back Bay.” For further information on this event, call the Boat Museum at 569-4554. This event is sponsored by Edward Jones Investments and the office of Zach Tarter AAMS.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My 81-year-old mother lives alone, drives her own car and manages her own finances. Between savings, retirement income and inheritance, she is well fixed. What worries me is that Mom has been enrolled in ballroom dance lessons for several years. These lessons are exorbitantly expensive, costing in the six figures annually. There are multiple lessons each week, as well as competition trips. The instructors, managers and owners of the club flatter Mom and tell her what a wonderful dancer she is. But, Annie, I’ve seen her performances, and she looks lost, doesn’t remember the steps and has no clue what to do next. I believe this dance studio is taking advantage of her. I spoke to management, but they said it’s none of my business. Mom used to be quite frugal, and I worry that she no longer has the judgment to manage her money. Yet I can’t do anything about it other than wring my hands. She won’t listen to a word I say. Mom never visits the grandchildren. She has no interest in family activities and has abandoned the things she used to do before she discovered dancing. She had a small stroke two years ago, and her doctor has made numerous appointments with a neurologist, but she always finds a reason to cancel. If Mom burns through her resources, I will not have the means to help when she can no longer live independently. I am hurt that she lies to me when all I want is to see that she is provided for. -- Only Child in Music City Dear Music City: We’re glad Mom enjoys her dance lessons, and it’s good exercise, but it sounds as if this dance studio may be guilty of financial abuse. Call the Better Business Bureau in your city and find out whether complaints have been registered. Also contact the National Center on Elder Abuse (ncea.aoa.gov) and the Eldercare Locator (1-800-677-1116) and
ask for assistance. Then, when your mother has her next doctor’s appointment, ask if you can go along. Alert the doctor’s office in advance, and request a more extensive exam. Dear Annie: My father-in-law loves going to yard sales and likes to buy sale items for our home and our four sons. The problem is that we have limited space and don’t need all this junk. The toys tend to have a missing part or be partially broken, and the clothes have stains or holes. My husband wants to simply accept the items because my father-in-law would otherwise be offended. But it upsets me that they give us so many used items. We just got back from a weeklong visit and were barraged with bags of these things. -- Tired of Used Stuff Dear Tired: Even used junk is a gift that requires a “thank you.” Please accept your father-in-law’s yard sale items with graciousness. He means well. Then throw them away as soon as you see a garbage can, give them to charity, fuse them into a garden sculpture or do whatever else you wish with them. Dear Annie: “Frustrated in the Midwest,” who doesn’t want her parents to attend her children’s school events, comes across as very self-absorbed. I am 63 and was reared in a generation where we enjoyed our families. We included our parents in our lives. I cherish the memories of them sharing our children’s activities. I have first-hand knowledge of this “new generation” attitude. My oldest son and daughter-in-law have banned me from seeing my grandchildren. My youngest daughter-in-law is downright rude to me. “Family time” is a thing of the past. If a Grandma wants to show love and concern, she is meddling. Merely calling to see if everyone is OK is intrusive. My generation will be passing away soon, and sadly, these kids will wake up too late, if at all. -- One Frustrated Grandma
