Quick, name 3 Laconia library trustees

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — While lawyers joust over whether the trustees of the Laconia Public Library should be chosen by the City Council or elected by the people, the trustees themselves remain all but unknown to the vast majority of residents.

There are six trustees: Bob Selig. John Moriarity, James “Olie” Anderson, Marilyn Lynch, Daylon Brock and John Perley.

All were appointed to three-year terms by the City Council, which has chosen the library trustees at least since 1961.

There is no limit to the number of terms a trustee may serve.

Selig, a retired business owner, has served as chairman of the board since he joined it in 1999. Moriarity, until recently executive director of the Belknap Mill Society, became a trustee in 2001 and is the current vice-chairman of the board. Anderson, an accountant serving as treasurer of the board, was named a trustee in 2003.

Gale Ave. man charged with choking his wife LACONIA — A city man was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail after allegedly assaulting and choking his wife while the two were returning home from a night out.

Laconia Police said Michael A. Duve, 25, of 25 Gale Ave. allegedly drank too much at a family party in Tilton and began verbally insulting his wife as she drove the two home.

When they reached their driveway, Duve’s wife told him to get out of the car but when she told him she was going to a friend’s house, he allegedly reached out from the passenger seat and began choking her.

Affidavits say that when she began screaming, Duve released his choke hold and see dUVe page 7

An Informed CITIZEN Begins The Day With

Forrester calls for Sept. forum to focus on funding sources that could add up to Laconia buying State School property

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — State Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) said yesterday that transferring ownership of the 212-acre State School tract on North Main Street from the state to the city is among her highest priorities.

Forrester said that she met recently with City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), City Manager Scott Myers and Planning Director Shanna Saunders about the future of the property and has also discussed the project with the Belknap County Economic Development Council and several state

agencies, including the Community Development Finance Authority.

The outcome, Forrester said, was to plan a public meeting in September, at a date and venue to be announced, to consider “how can we make this happen.”

Recalling her experience in community economic development, she said that “the first step is to bring all the right people together, particularly those with experience in identifying funding opportunities.”

“This is Laconia’s project,”Forrester remarked. “The property will be what Laconia wants it to be.” see FORResTeR page 6

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s political leaders gave the government the green light Tuesday to begin negotiating a deal with the U.S. to keep American troops in the country past the end of the year to train Iraqi security forces.

But Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said a final agreement is still far from settled, and cautioned that Baghdad could still insist the U.S. military leave by the end of 2011 as required under a 2008 security agreement.

“The government still might not do it (allow U.S. troops to stay),” Zebari told The Associated Press after the closed-door discussions.

“This is a politically highly charged issue, and there was division,” he said. “But this meeting unified all the political leaders to back the government and start the negotiations.”

The small step forward was the result of five hours of oftenheated debate among several dozen Iraqi political leaders and Cabinet ministers. see IRAQ page 13

Autopsy of Stewartstown girl inconclusive STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — An autopsy conducted Tuesday on an 11-yearold girl found in a river nearly a week after she disappeared failed to determine how she died, frustrating a community anxious for answers.

Further toxicology tests and investigation are needed to determine how Celina Cass died, Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said at a news conference.

“Despite the findings, the attorney general’s office continues to investigate her death as suspicious,” Young said. “A criminal investigation remains ongoing into the circumstances of her death.”

New Hampshire Fish and Game Department divers found Celina’s body Monday

near a hydroelectric dam that spans the Connecticut River between Celina’s hometown, Stewartstown, and Canaan, Vt., ending an intense search that at its peak involved more than 100 federal, state and local law enforcement officers.

Young said “visible observations” of Celina’s body in the water and once it was removed prompted investigators to consider her death suspicious, but she declined to be more specific. She also declined to comment on whether there were any suspects in the death or say who was in the girl’s house the night before she was reported missing July 25. Police have said there was no sign of a struggle and there was no indications she ran away or

someone took her.

Community residents were saddened that the autopsy wasn’t able to provide them with any closure.

“I don’t even know what to say. I thought the community needed some answers, and I thought we were going to get them tonight,” said Debbie Whelan, whose daughter, a friend of Celina’s, was sobbing after watching a news report on a TV monitor.

The lack of answers was “scary,” said Shannon Towle, who owns a convenience store across the street from the house where Celina lived with her mother, sister, stepfather and a man named Kevin Mullaney, said by neighbors to be the son of a see AUTOPSY page 9

WASHINGTON (AP) — With scant time to spare, President Barack Obama signed legislation Tuesday to avoid an unprecedented national default that he said would have devastated the U.S. economy. But the truce with Republicans that defused the crisis seemed to be fading already.

Wall Street crumpled, dismayed by reports of new economic weakness and unimpressed by Congress’ prescription.

The Dow Jones industrial average sank by 266 points, its eighth straight losing session, and biggest.

The compromise deal to persuade GOP lawmakers to raise the federal debt limit — U.S. borrowing was to collide with it at midnight — will cut federal spending by

$2.1 trillion or more over the next decade.

But Obama immediately challenged Republicans to accept higher taxes on the wealthy in a second round of deficit cuts this fall. They adamantly refused to accept that idea during the past months’ dispute.

A stern-faced Obama said at the White House that action to raise the debt limit had been essential but more — and different — steps were badly needed.

“We’ve got to do everything in our power to grow this economy and put America back to work,” the president said, arguing forcefully for including revenue increases as well as spending cuts in the next round of efforts to trim huge government deficits.

It was the same call the GOP successfully

resisted in the bill just approved, and there was little evidence of a change in position.

“The American people agreed with us on the nature of the problem. They know the government didn’t accumulate $14.3 trillion in debt because it didn’t tax enough,” said the party’s leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Obama placed his signature on bill in the privacy of the Oval Office less than two hours after a bipartisan 74-26 vote in the Senate. The House approved the measure Monday night on a 269-161 roll call that also reached across party lines and was sealed by a rap of the gavel by Speaker John Boehner. see DEBT CEILING page 12

Insurance practices of Congress leaves town & FAA budget mess behind Local Government Center to be subject of hearing

CONCORD (AP) — A dispute between New Hampshire regulators and a nonprofit group over how it manages health insurance risk pools for public workers and retirees is headed for a state hearing.

The state Bureau of Securities Regulation released its final report Tuesday on its investigation into the Local Government Center. The report says the center is required by law to return a surplus of more than $100 million in taxpayer money to cities and towns; illegally altered its nonprofit corporation structure to merge with limited liability companies; and transferred part of its surplus to subsidize a worker’s compensation insurance pool at the expense of two others, among other allegations.

“If you have surplus, you’re supposed to give it back to cities and towns,” said Earl Wingate, staff attorney for the bureau, said at a news conference.

“You’re not supposed to hang onto it.”

Tuesday’s report follows a preliminary report in May issued by the bureau, which has been investigating the center for at least a year. The bureau plans to pursue a state administrative hearing to determine whether the center committed any violations and needs to follow any corrective action.

Board members of the center, which has been sharing information with the bureau and meeting with regulators in an attempt to reach a resolution, maintain they have done nothing wrong and look forward to a positive resolution. They said they have consolidated different programs to become more efficient and better serve member communities.

In 2003, the LCG, then comprised of four separate voluntary corporations, voted to convert to limited liability companies, using Delaware law to conduct a series of mergers. The LGC said the technique is see LGC page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is likely to lose more than $1 billion in airline ticket taxes because lawmakers have left town for a month without resolving a partisan standoff over a bill to end the partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration.

The government already has lost more than $200 million since airlines are unable to collect taxes on ticket sales because the FAA’s operating authority has expired.

The Senate recessed on Tuesday until September, erasing any possibility for quickly resolving the issue. The House left Monday night.

Caught up in the partisan acrimony are nearly 4,000 FAA employees who have been furloughed.

The FAA also has issued stop work orders on more than 200 construction projects, threatening the jobs of thousands of other workers. Air traffic controllers, however, remain on the job.

The debacle could have had an upside for airline passengers because ticket taxes, which typically average about $30 on a $300 round-trip fare, are suspended during the shutdown. But airlines decided to pocket the windfall. Within hours of the shutdown on July 23, most airlines raised their fares by

amounts equivalent to the taxes that disappeared.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood called airline CEOs to complain and lawmakers have sent letters demanding the fare hikes be reversed and the profits be placed in escrow. But their howls have largely been ignored. Airlines collectively lost about $440 million in the first six months of this year, according to the Air Transport Association.

Some passengers will be due tax refunds if they bought their tickets and paid taxes before the shutdown, but their travel took place during the time airlines no longer had authority to collect the money.

Airlines and the Internal Revenue Service are quarreling over who will handle the complicated and expensive process of getting those refunds to passengers.

President Barack Obama implored Congress on Tuesday to settle the dispute before leaving town, calling the stalemate “another Washington-inflicted wound on America.”

LaHood, a former GOP congressman, conveyed the same message in a series of private meetings on Capitol Hill and in phone calls to lawmakers, but was unable to clinch a deal. see FAA page 10

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Disturbing new video released Tuesday shows the wife of convicted kidnapper and rapist Phillip Garrido luring a young girl into the couple’s van, asking her to do the splits and videotaping her, two years after the couple kidnapped 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard.

The videos were released by El Dorado District Attorney Vern Pierson, along with a report highlighting failures in the criminal justice system that allowed Phillip Garrido to roam free despite warnings, and snatch Dugard off a street in South Lake

Tahoe in 1991.

He held her for 18 years, raped her and fathered two children with her while holding her captive in a backyard compound in the San Francisco Bay area town of Antioch.

Pierson said “law enforcement failed to see Phillip Garrido for what and who he truly is ... evil” and outlined a number of startling details that show how the enterprising Garrido gamed the parole system.

Who else can Democrats get to run for president?

Ed Rendell, do you have plans for 2012? Hillary Clinton? If you, the former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, or you, the secretary of state, are free next year and wouldn’t mind, would you please launch a primary challenge against President Obama?

This request stems not from anger at Obama’s penchant for blithely negotiating away certain Medicare benefits or the need to modestly raise tax revenues — things that Democrats want, and if the polls are correct, so do most Americans.

It was about not negotiating at all while appearing to negotiate on a matter that should be non-negotiable: the full faith and credit of the United States.

In the last half-century, Congress has raised the debt ceiling 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democrats. The votes were cast without drama because the idea of this country defaulting on its debts was unthinkable. This last-minute deal notwithstanding, the dangerous precedent whereby America’s promise to pay what it owes can be brought into political play has been set. Meanwhile, the spectacle of government dysfunction has already hastened our decline as a world power.

Make no mistake: The tea party Republicans have engaged in economic terrorism against the United States — threatening to blow up the economy if they don’t get what they want. And like the al-Qaida bombers, what they want is delusional: the dream of restoring some fantasy caliphate in which no one pays taxes, while the country is magically protected from foreign attack and the elderly get government-paid hip replacements.

Americans are not supposed to negotiate with terrorists, but that’s what Obama has been doing.

Obama should have grabbed the bully pulpit early on, bellowing that everything can be discussed but America’s honor, which requires making good on its debt obligations.

Lines about “we’re all at fault” and “Republicans should compromise” are beyond pathetic on a subject that should be beyond discussion.

That the Republican leader-

ship couldn’t control a small group of ignoramuses in its ranks has brought disgrace on their party. But oddly, Obama’s passivity made it hard for responsible Republicans to control their destructive children.

The GOP extremists would ask Obama for his firstborn, and he’d say, “OK.” So they think, why not ask for his second-born, to which he responds, “Let’s talk.”

House Speaker Boehner couldn’t go back to his caucus members and tell them: “We fought like tigers with an intransigent White House. We did well, considering what we were up against.” But he couldn’t say that because they were up against Jell-O. Obama can take credit for some major achievements. His auto industry bailout saved the industrial Midwest from collapse. The financial industry reforms will begin to force at least some discipline on Wall Street. And the health care law will ensure coverage for all Americans while reducing deficits in the longterm. But Obama’s successes are undermined by his inability to vigorously sell them, even to a receptive mainstream.

Recall the summer of idiocy, when Obama sat mute amid moronic charges that Democrats were establishing “death panels.” A Democratic president with his party holding majorities in both houses of Congress could have quickly whipped health care reform into law. But Obama let it fester for month after month of phony negotiations.

Republicans are ultimately going to take the rap over this debt-ceiling outrage. The full faith and credit of the United States is not a matter over which reasonable people may disagree, and the larger public knows that in its heart.

But Democrats would do themselves a huge favor if they had a living, breathing leader as their presidential candidate in 2012.

Won’t someone step up?

300-million Americans are being held hostage by GOP terrorists To the editor, Let’s see: when teachers’ unions or government employees tried to maintain their pensions or wage agreements they were called parasites and thieves who were stealing from the public.

But when someone suggests that an oil company that made a $43-billion quarterly profit give up its government subsidy, that the tax break for corporate jets be eliminated, or that the tax cuts for the wealthiest

everyone shares in making sacrifices to reduce the deficit, the response is: “Socialism! The Communists are coming!”

The obvious greed and hypocrisy are nauseating. As we see this week, 300-million Americans are being held hostage by a cell of Republican terrorists in Washington. Their approach, fed by ignorance and fear, and spread by lies, is morally and fiscally bankrupt.

LETTERS Higher costs for hospitals and no new jobs for N.H. citizens To the editor, The new state budget went into effect on July 1. In spite of the Republican majority claiming there are NO NEW TAXES, most hospitals will now pay $115-million to the state without reimbursement to help cover the costs of care for the poor and those without insurance. What is going on?

Doug Dean, president and CEO of Elliot Health System says, “The state has eliminated payments to hospitals that have, for decades, helped people in need of health care services. We are outraged.”

Hospitals are required to provide emergency services regardless of whether or not the patient can pay the bill. Who will cover these costs? Hospitals cannot absorb this $115,000,000, so it will be passed on to all of us in the form of higher costs for services and increases in health insurance premiums.

Some hospitals are considering, or in some instances have already reduced or eliminated obstetrics and psychiatric care. This will leave our

citizens at higher risk.

In some areas, hospitals are the single largest employer, and already hospitals are laying off hundreds of workers in response to the budget.

What happened to the Republican promise of job creation?

Last week, 10 of the state’s hospitals filed suit against the State of New Hampshire over cuts in Medicaid reimbursement which funded service to the uninsured and Medicaid recipients. This issue will have to be addressed in the courts and will cost the state more money!

This new budget has cut spending by raising costs to hospitals that provide care to the uninsured, is costing many hospital employees their jobs through these cuts, and has penalized us, the voters of New Hampshire, who will be paying for these cuts through higher health care premiums.

Higher costs for hospitals and New Hampshire citizens and no new jobs.

Not quite what we were promised.

I invite any cop to explain why their cars shouldn’t be front drive To the editor, I had thought for a number of years about this. Why do cops still drive rear wheel drive cars? My first wife and I bought a front wheel car in the 70s.

The car was amazing in the snow with just all season tires. I was reminded today as I saw a police cruiser spin around and peel out to go after a speeding car. It makes no sense for the cops to drive a car that is just plain lousy in the snow. It puts your life and mine in jeopardy if they spin out or cannot make a hill because these really are bad cars in the snow.

Why don’t cops have front wheel drive cars? It could make the difference of making it faster or not at all in bad weather. We all know that what public departments ask for is often ego driven, in the way of equipment and so forth; sure it is great fun to have a dual exhaust hi-powered peelout car, an outdated hot rod.

I invite any cop, especially the chief’s of Meredith and Center Harbor to tell me why their “Crown Vics” are better than a front wheel drive. Of

to go with the flow and cannot agree that these are not the best units for the job. Another example is that green behemoth at LPD owned by the state cops. If they need some thing that big, my thoughts are, it is an incident to big for them, and do the right thing, put your ego aside, and call out the national guard. That is their job.

New Hampshire is the largest employer in the state at over 5,000 people. Far too many are deadbeat employees and no-show employees but I don’t think to many get fired because it is from top to bottom with slackers; just look at the guys napping in the orange trucks. And as each one retires we have to pay for their benefits.

I’m not so sure we have been well served by many of them.

I guess I just don’t get it. Just beware when a politician says he will create jobs. We have to pay up for the state employees benefit packages for all the years in retirement; isn’t that communism?

Rep. D.J. Bettencourt

Idea to cut Medicaid subsidies to N.H. hospitals came from Gov. Lynch The New Hampshire Democratic Party is having great fun attacking Republicans for cutting $250 million in state subsidies to New Hampshire hospitals. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a policy decision that deserves rigorous debate. Yet the Democrats seem to have forgotten that the whole idea of cutting uncompensated care subsidies came from Gov. John Lynch.

Lynch did more than propose cutting those funds. He gave a long explanation of why it was a great idea to reduce the operating budgets of New Hampshire’s hospitals.

In his budget address of Feb. 15th, Lynch noted that he needed to cut a lot of money from the Health and Human Services budget, but he had difficulty finding cuts that would not hurt the neediest among us.

Then he found some, he said.

“So we chose a third option.

We are redirecting $20-million in uncompensated care payments the state now makes to hospitals to help maintain Medicaid optional services.”

He noted that hospitals provide essential medical care, “but from a financial perspective, the hospitals can afford this change.”

“Hospitals get millions of dollars in tax breaks for being nonprofits.

But according to their latest public filings, the top 200 executives of our

24 nonprofit hospitals made a collective $60-million.

“Collectively, New Hampshire’s nonprofit hospitals generated cash over their expenses of more than $200-million.

“Instead of using that excess cash to reduce health care costs, hospitals spend it on advertising, trying to attract market share from each other; on buying physician and laboratory practices across the state, and then increasing overhead charges to patients.”

Lynch thought hospitals had $200-million in excess revenues they didn’t need, and were spending another $500-million on unjustified new construction.

So why would he, or Democrats who shared that view, be upset that the Republican-led Legislature reduced hospital subsidies by $250-million? And if the hospitals are right that this cut is illegal, then so was Lynch’s. Why didn’t they complain about its legality then?

Democrats who want to criticize the cut to hospital subsidies ought to at least be honest and acknowledge that it was their own governor’s idea, and the disagreement is not over whether the subsidies should be cut, but by how much.

(Rep. D.J. Bettencourt of Salem is the Republican leader in the N.H. House.)

Please let your voice be heard at Tardif Park on August 13 To the editor, I recently submitted a letter in regards to the deaths involving the drug Fentanyl, occurring in our local community. Subject matter touched on social services offered to people and several other aspects, including landlords of subsidized housing recipients.

My letter was given a title by the editor and was slightly misunderstood. However, there has been an overwhelming response to my writings and I have been asked to establish a meeting for like-minded Americans.

I urge all concerned citizens to attend and let your voice be heard from 4 to 7 p.m. on August 13th at Tardif Park.

Understanding that our subject matter is a behemoth and that no one person can comprehend it all, maybe we can start to find answers in our numbers of citizens and neighbors.

This meeting will be to feel things out and try to arrive at its end by deciding one of two things. Do we meet again or is this a lost cause? I, personally, would like to see the group come away with three things that we would like to focus our energy and attention on should we continue.

I ask that all who attend be polite and courteous as well as try to be brief and to the point. This is not a complaint session. We are not looking for reasons, we are looking for solutions.

This is not about taking anything away from anybody; it’s about spending our taxpayer money wisely and the implementation of some type of monitoring and enforcement for theft of services and fraud. I hope to see you there.

God Bless America.

It’s documented that conservatives are more generous than liberals To the editor, In the paper on Thursday, July 28, Leslie Kimball tells us to trust her, “she gets it”. This in response to my letter the other day saying my fouryear-old granddaughter might be a Democrat.

Well, no Leslie, I don’t think you do get it. I don’t trust you or any Democrats, liberals, or progressives. You see, it is your ideas and programs that have been implemented by Congress

situation it has been in since the early years of World War II. We are in danger of loosing our democracy in favor of your socialist utopia. I will not go through all the items I have of grievance against liberal Democrats — the list is to long — but I refer you to a letter by Russ Wiles in today’s paper for just a few of them.

To the editor, Jim Hightower’s column of July 22 was apparently intended to solicit outrage over the way Wisconsin is using prisoners to do the jobs for free that union workers used to do for big taxpayer money. He expects the readers, who are predominantly going to be taxpayers, to be upset about this “scheme to take middle-class paychecks from public employees”. This snapshot of the liberal mindset really says it all, doesn’t it?

Most unionized civil servant lawn cutters and snow shovelers in Wisconsin were making over $40 per hour, had six weeks vacation, 26 holidays, full-paid health insurance, could accumulate unused sick pay, and were able to retire after 25 years of service with almost full pay. All these bennies that are unavailable out here in the

private sector to the real middle class were available to select high school drop outs just because of collective bargaining between the unions and the politicians they got elected — at the expense of that same real middle class.

Now Wisconsin is cleaning house, and we are supposed to be upset?

Now Wisconsin is making prisoners do these things for free as part of their sentence instead of sitting in air conditioned prison lounges playing ping pong and watching HBO or getting college degrees at our expense, and we are supposed to be outraged?

I just kept thinking as I read this article: Why can’t Governor Walker run for president and do stuff like this on a national scale?

LIBRARY from page one with a keen interest in the library grounds, Marilyn Lynch, the secretary, has been a member of the board since 2000. Brock, who owned and operated a newsstand at Steeplegate Mall in Concord, joined the board in 1999 and John Perley, a retired banker became the newest trustee in 2008.

No fewer than three of the trustees — Selig, Brock and Perley — reside in Ward 6 while Anderson and Lynch live in Ward 1 and Moriarity is from Ward 4. Wards 2, 3 and 5 have no representation on the board.

As the city is divided by charter into six wards and there are six library trustees there is a presumption that a system of popular election would result in one being elected to represent each ward.

“We have a great board,” Selig said in defending the current system. “We’re all different and we all approach things from different angles.” Describing the library as a business, he said that the task of the board is “to use the few resources we have to make

sure we bring as many people as we can into the library and satisfy the needs of the residents of Laconia.”

Earlier this year, when Selig inquired at City Hall about the possibility of adding alternate members to the board, Jae Whitelaw, the city attorney, after reviewing the pertinent state statutes and municipal ordinances, questioned the longstanding practice by which the City Council selected the trustees. She has contended that state law requires their popular election.

Represented by attorney Paul Fitzgerald, the trustees have challenged Whitelaw’s reading of the state law, which reads “the trustees of a public library in a city shall be elected as provided in the city charter.” The Laconia city charter makes no mention of library trustees, but in 1975 the city council adopted an ordinance specifying that the city council shall elect two library trustees each year at one of its regularly scheduled meetings in March. Ever since the library trustees have been chosen in accordance with the ordinance.

FORRESTER from page one She acknowledged that funding opportunities could be determined by how the property is redeveloped.

For example, setting aside land for conservation would lead to one set of funding sources while using funding sources while developing athletic fields or fostering commercial enterprise would lead to others.

Describing the meeting as a charrette, Forrester stressed that the objective is to begin the process of gathering the resources to affect the transfer of ownership.

The property has been assessed at $23-million, with most of the value assigned to 26 buildings, most of which are is disrepair, on the site.

Following state law, the Legislature,

for offering the site first to the city, for $10-million, then to Belknap County and finally to a private party.

Meanwhile, at Lahey’s initiative, the city council commissioned Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research to appraise approximately two-thirds of the site, excluding the 75 acres where virtually all the buildings stand and significant environmental contamination is suspected. Thibeault pegged the value of the remaining 137 acres at $1-million. He noted that if an equivalent land value was applied to the remaining 75 acres, discarding the value of the buildings, the total value of the main parcel would approach $1.5-million, slightly less than the $1.7-million assessed land value carried by the city.

All 6 incumbents on City Council, plus the mayor, appear ready to run again

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Although the filing period for candidates for City Council opens next week, five of the six incumbents have indicated they intend to seek re-election.

“I think so,” said Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4), who is serving her third term. “Next Monday is sign up day and it’s my birthday. That’s a sign.

The body may be lagging,” the avid golfer remarked, “but the brain is still working. What else am I going to do?”

Henry Lipman (Ward 3), the chairman of the Finance Subcommittee is also completing his third term. With the city facing fiscal challenges as well as the prospect of expanding the Huot Technical Center, acquiring the Laconia State School site, and overhauling the solid waste program, he wants to contribute his financial acumen to the council.

Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) said that he has been encouraged by his constituents and will run for his 15th term on the council. He said that with the sour economy, he will be looking to

control property taxes.

Ava Doyle, who filled the vacancy in Ward 1 when Greg Knytych left the city, will seek election to a second term.

Bob Hamel (Ward 5), who has served three terms, and Mike Seymour, in his first term as mayor, could not be reached.

Mayor Mike Seymour said yesterday that he will decide whether to run for a second term before the week is out. “I have always intended on running and have been encouraged to run by the council, I’m leaning heavily in that direction,” he said.

Seymour referred to “unfinished business, things in limbo I’d like to see through to completion,” including the renovation of the Huot Technical Center, acquisition of the former Laconia State School property and the development of a strategic plan for the city.

On the other hand, he acknowledged his hesitation stemmed from the heavy demands the office has placed on his time. “I don’t think I’ve missed the opening of an envelope,” he joked.

DUVE from page one she again ordered him out of the car.

Duve allegedly refused so his wife grabbed her cell phone to call police and Duve allegedly took the phone from her and tried to break it.

After he threatened to kill her, he allegedly grabbed her again by the neck but this time she was able to scratch and beat him away long enough to get him out of the car.

She told police Duve began chasing the car as she drove away, but was able to get to safety.

She was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment of neck and throat injuries.

Police arrested Duve and he is charged with one felony count of second degree assault, one misdemeanor account of criminal threatening and one misdemeanor count of obstructing the report of a crime or injury.

K-9 ‘Jago’ a big hit with youngsters as Laconia Police again host a community block party

By Gail OBer

“Convenient, affordable and reliable transportation for all your travel needs.”

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The hot dogs were grilled to perfection, balloons floated into the blue sky but, as usual, it was K-9 Jago and his handler Sgt. Michael Finogle who stole the show at last night’s annual National Night Out block party, hosted by Laconia police at Opechee Park.

Jago, who will retire this spring, strutted his stuff by finding a special scent under a series of cones, taking down fellow Police Officer Kevin Shortt in his new role as “bad guy,” and demonstrating how to ignore simulated gunfire, jump into to an open car window and make a canine arrest.

“The dog,” was the ready reply of most of the nearly 200 children who attended the Opechee Park party and who were asked about their favorite part of the night.

Joining “the dog” were representatives of the U.S. Army, members of the Laconia Fire Department who had Ladder 1 on display, Partners in Prevention, Lakes Region Community Services, Police Victims Assistants, graduates of the Citizen Police Academy,

representatives of the Belknap County Regional Response Team, N.H. State Trooper and K-9 Officer Chuck George, the N.H. Veteran’s Association, and the Laconia Human Rights Council.

“Our police department is great,” said Umija Gusinac who wants residents to know that this year is the 10th anniversary of the Laconia Multi-Cultural Day. “We are here to support them like they support us,” she said.

National Night Out is a nationwide neighborhood barbecue held to draw attention to crime, give local people a chance to meet and greet local police officers and their families in less-than-formal settings and to give people access to information about crime.

The widely attended event in Laconia has become a children’s favorite and this year the hot dogs were donated by Circle K and the flavored slush, including root beer, by Hart’s.

Joining the police and fire department were Mayor Mike Seymour, the Laconia Police Commissioners, State Rep. Bob Luther and members of the Laconia City Council and School Board.

One of the evergrowing and popular programs in Laconia is the Citizen Police Academy and Citizen Victim’s Services who were out in force last night see next page

Prospect of a ‘no wake zone’ in Barber Pole channel again pits Tuftonboro neighbor against neighbor

By Michael Kitch TUFTONBORO — When the New Hampshire Department of Safety (DOS) held a fifth public hearing on a petition to designate the Barber Pole channel a “no wake zone” last Saturday opinion was as deeply divided as it has been for the past 23 years.

The Barber Pole stretches for about 2,000 feet — about twice the length of the Weirs Channel — from the southeastern tip of Little Birch Island, off the mouth of Orchard Cove, to where the eastern shoreline of Cow Island recedes to the west. Between the buoys to the west and the shore to the east, the channel is about 390 feet wide.

Similar petitions failed in 1988, 1997, 2008 and again last year, when an order imposing a “no wake zone” was issued only to be later rescinded. Residents petitioned last May, a hearing was held on July 21 and the order was issued on July 30. However, the order was withdrawn after DOS upheld a claim that some of the petitioners were neither residents nor taxpayers of Tuftonboro, as required by law.

This year, opponents of the “no wake zone” once again challenged the legitimacy of the petition.

George Elkins of Foxwood Way in Mirror Lake Estates claimed that because 13 signatories were not qualified residents of Tuftonboro and another signed twice, the petition lacks the required number of legal signatures.

He asked the DOS to postpone or cancel the hearing.

Thomas Hilbink, an attorney who owns property on Little Birch Island, submitted the petition. He argued that some of the signatories in question

owned property in trust, but Elkins dwelt only on the first named trustee, to whom the tax bill is sent, overlooking the others, all of whom were qualified property owners and taxpayers.

Elkins challenged another signatory who owns two properties within a mile of his home and serves on committees in Tuftonboro.

Curtis Duclos, the hearings officer of the DOS, decided to proceed with the hearing as scheduled, deferring his decision on the legitimacy of the petition until he issues his final order.

As in the past, residents of Little Birch and Squirrel Island pressed the case for a “no wake zone,” emphasizing the danger posed to swimmers, anglers, canoeists and kayakers by fast boats plying the channel. This year they found support from Bill Bertoldt of Gilford, a staunch supporter of speed limits on the lake, who said that swimming rafts narrow the channel to less than 300 feet required to comply with the safe passage rule requiring boats to stay 150 feet from the shoreline, docks and other vessels and slow to headway speed.

Opponents said that the safety concerns are exaggerated, claiming that when boat traffic in the channel is heavy vessels slow to headway speed in order to comply with safe passage rule. Other said a “no wake zone” would slow travel between the islands and the mainland.

Noting that the DOS acknowledged the safety issues and granted the petition a year ago, Hilbink wondered “what is different this year from last year should the DOS rule against us?”

AUTOPSY from page 2 former boyfriend of her mother, Louisa Noyes.

“We still don’t know what happened, and that’s terrifying,” Towle said.

After the news conference, teenagers gathered in a town park, where candles were lit in Celina’s memory.

“Someone has to light the way for Celina,” said Kayla Baglio, 18. “It’s to let her know no matter what, people are going to be here for her.”

Earlier Tuesday, investigators combed the area along the river, which divides Vermont and New Hampshire, above where Celina’s body was found.

A crime scene technician said they were doing computer-aided diagramming to give them a precise electronic image of the area.

Celina’s stepfather, Wendell Noyes, who reportedly was hospitalized hours before her body was recovered from the river, returned to the community Tuesday.

from preceding page recruiting people to join the next class scheduled to begin in September.

“You feel great because you are helping,” said Victim’s Services volunteer Judy Lundh who said she and her volunteers help victims understand the court system and police procedures.

Victims volunteers, after graduating from the Citizen Police Academy, must take an additional 40 hours of course work.

As for the Citizen Academy, graduate Corinne

Merrill said the program is excellent and educational because it teaches its graduates what police do behind the scenes — including the paperwork — and gives ordinary citizens a chance to experience police work.

“You actually get to see what they do and it’s not just sitting in their cars,” she said.

As for last night, the job for most of them was to get to know the people they serve and protect, eat a hot dog or two, and listen to some good ole rock music on a beautiful New Hampshire summer’s evening.

LGC from page 3 commonly used, as New Hampshire does not have such a law.

Municipalities contribute to risk pools such as the center to obtain health and other forms of insurance at more affordable rates. The center is made up of 454 member cities, towns, school administrative units, counties and quasi-governmental organizations. It provides health coverage to nearly 80,000 people throughout the state.

Board members said they have returned surpluses through the years in the form of rate reductions, saying communities prefer to have stability rather than get a check one year, and see a rate spike the next. They also defended their decision to use 1 percent of employer health and property liability contributions to start a worker’s compensation program, saying they followed both state law and the practices of similar insurance pools nationwide.

The bureau report says, though “there is no showing there ever was an agreement by the municipalities that their contributions to one line of coverage to be used for another line.”

“I think everybody here recognizes that their governments are a partner

with LGC, or LGC is a partner with them.,” said Peter Curro, chairman of the center’s Finance Committee and a school district business administrator “By both working together, LGC has provided, programs, services, training, that are essential for local governments to do what the citizens request.”

Curro said if the center is required to return $100 million, the center would have to raise insurance rates “substantially” to cover the difference, or possibly look at closing its doors.

David Lang of the Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire — the state union for active and retired firefighters — said the union doesn’t see how holding on to taxpayer money and then doling it back little by little in a rating cycle is good business, and that it needs to be returned under the law.

The union had sued the LGC, saying health care funds were diverted for non-approved uses, but the lawsuit was dismissed.

“There are cities and towns and school districts that want their money and need their money to continue to run,” he said.

To date, only two communities have formally asked for their money back, Portsmouth and North Hampton.

FAA from page 3 Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate committee that oversees the FAA, held out the possibility that if the Senate were able to pass a bill acceptable to Democrats, it could still be approved by the House using obscure parliamentary procedures, and sent to the White House.

But his House counterpart, Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., ruled out that possibility. The only way left to end the shutdown is for the Senate to agree to a previously passed House bill containing $16.5 million cuts in air service subsidies to 13 rural communities that some Democrats — particularly Rockefeller — find objectionable.

“The only one holding this up now is Mr. Rockefeller,” Mica said. One of the 13 communities that would lose subsidies is Morgantown, W.Va. The entire air service subsidy program costs about $200 million a year,

lost in uncollected ticket taxes in the first week of the shutdown. The program was created after airlines were deregulated in 1978 to ensure continued service on less profitable routes to remote communities. But critics say some communities receiving subsidies are within a reasonable driving distance of a hub airport.

Subsidies per airline passenger range as high as $5,223 in Ely, Nev., to as low as $9.21 in Thief River Falls, Minn., according to Transportation Department data for the lower 48 states.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Republicans were trying to force Democrats to accept policy concessions they would be unable to enact through normal legislative procedures.

Democrats tried repeatedly over the past two weeks to pass a bill extending the FAA’s operating authority without the subsidy cuts, but were blocked by Republican senators each time.

Muskrats will host regular season champion Newport in playoff game here Thursday night LACONIA — The Laconia Muskrats grabbed the fourth and final Eastern Division playoff spot on Sunday with a 5-4 win at North Shore. The post season for the New England Collegiate Baseball League starts tonight.

Laconia finished the regular season with record of 18-24 and is matched in a best two out of three series with the Newport Gulls, owners of the best record in the entire league (2913). Game one is Wednesday night in Newport (6:35) and the second game will be played at Robbie Mills field in Laconia on Thursday night at 6:05.

If a deciding game is necessary it will be played in Newport on Friday.

The other Eastern Division series will match second place North Shore against Sanford. Newport and North Shore were the only two teams in the Eastern division to finish above .500 for the season.

The Western Division had four teams with solid winning records, led

by Keene at 28-14. The Swamp Bats host Danbury in the first game of a best of three series , while Holyoke hosts Vermont in the other series.

JAYCEE from page 2 selors and psychiatrists, including in 1994 when it was learned that Garrido wore a prosthetic penis during drug screenings. “Garrido would wear a fake penis and use warm Mountain Dew to fool the urine tests conducted with this counselor,” the report states.

Yet his parole was not revoked, and he and his wife Nancy continued looking for victims.

In one newly released video, shot in 1993, Nancy Garrido asks a young girl to do the splits while she videotapes it.

“That’s it. Can you go all the way down?” Nancy says to the girl, who is blurred out in the video released by authorities.

The girl says she can go down farther.

“Let me see, I bet you can go down really easy,” Nancy Garrido said.

When the girl notices a light on the camera, she asks Nancy Garrido about it.

“I don’t know anything about that camera,” says Nancy, quickly changing the subject.

In a separate interrogation video, Nancy Garrido told a detective she made 10 to 20 of these videos for her husband.

Garrido was sentenced to 431 years to life in prison after pleading guilty.

Nancy Garrido was sentenced to 36 years to life.

The report says Garrido should not have been freed from prison in 1988, where he was serving a 50-year federal sentence and a five-years-to-life Nevada state sentence for a previous kidnapping and rape. Pierson said the parole system relied too heavily on psychiatric advice in determining Garrido’s suitability for parole.

After Garrido nabbed Dugard in 1991, Pierson said federal and state parole agents failed to investigate his history of sexual crimes and instead relied on reports from psychiatrists.

This led to agents missing numerous warning signs over dozens of visits.

One of the key mistakes, the report fund, was that in 1991 a federal parole agent visited Garrido’s recording studio, which a short time later became the first place Dugard was confined and raped after her kidnap.

Federal parole officials had said previously that they had seen nothing in their visits that would have led to the discovery of Dugard.

“Had the federal parole agents searched the Garrido residence they would have found her,” the report states.

The report says Garrido’s federal parole agent only visited his home

once between May 1991 and May 1995. It also provides a list of dozens of incidents in which Garrido should have had his parole revoked, including once in 1988 when he contacted a woman he earlier had been convicted of raping and kidnapping, and other times when his urine tested positive for methamphetamine.

In her book and grand jury testimony, Dugard said Garrido would go on sex binges with her after he took amphetamines.

Dugard was reunited with her family in August 2009 after her whereabouts were discovered during a meeting with a parole agent who had summoned Phillip Garrido to his office.

The meeting came after two University of California, Berkeley police employees grew suspicious when Garrido showed up at the campus with the two girls he fathered with Dugard and asked for a permit to hold a religious event.

Pierson said he hoped his report would begin a process of exploring potential legislative solutions that will help law enforcement do a better job of supervising and detecting sexual predators.

“The system as a whole failed, and we should all be angry about it,” said Pierson at a news conference Tuesday in the state Capitol.

In response to the report, the California Department of Corrections said it has repeatedly acknowledged there was a need for changes in the wake of the Garrido case. The department said it has made “significant improvements,” including requiring parole officers to work with federal and other state parole authorities, and re-evaluating all sex offenders. They’re also using GPS monitoring for parolees.

Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, hopes to introduce legislation that would change the rules for evaluating parole of serious offenders, and pass it this month with bipartisan support. He will host a public meeting at the Capitol on Wednesday to discuss the report and possible legislation.

Since a 2008 California Supreme Court decision that said the parole board cannot deny release solely based on the nature of the original crime, the number of paroles granted to prisoners serving life terms has soared, Gaines said.

He said it would be appropriate to give the parole board more discretion to hold prisoners based on their crimes, especially sexual predators who may be more likely to commit new crimes if released, he said.

Truck hits gas meter A worker from National Grid inspects a broken meter Monday afternoon at the Avid Thermalloy, LLC facility on Primore Drive in Laconia. Deputy Fire Chief Shawn Riley said it appears a truck accidentally backed into the meter and sent a stream of natural gas into the air. He said the building was successfully evacuated while firefighters poured a steady stream of water onto the gas leak to diffuse the chance of explosion. The valve was closed and Riley said National Grid would complete the repair. No one was injured. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

Shaheen a ‘yes’ & Ayotte a ‘no’ on vote in Senate to raise U.S. debt ceiling CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s two senators had different opinions on the emergency bill President Barack Obama signed to prevent a government default.

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen voted in favor of the bill to raise the debt ceiling on Monday, helping send the bill to Obama, who signed it about an hour later. She says the compromise avoids a devastating default, gives businesses the certainty they need to grow, makes DEBT CEILING from page 2 The bill allows a quick $900 billion increase in borrowing authority as well as a first installment on spending cuts amounting to $917 billion over a decade.

Without legislation in place by day’s end, the Treasury would have been unable to pay all the nation’s bills, leading to a potential default for the first time in history. Administration officials warned of disastrous consequences for an economy that shows fresh signs of weakness on a neardaily basis as it struggles to recover from the worst recession in decades.

The White House and congressional leaders said legislation was important to reassure investors at home as well as overseas, and also to preserving the nation’s AAA credit rating.

Following passage of the debt deal, Moody’s Investors Service, one of the three main ratings agencies, said it was retaining its triple-A rating on U.S. bonds but with a negative outlook to show there is still a risk of a downgrade.

This week’s peace pact between the two parties is unlikely to be long-lived.

The bill sets up a powerful 12-member committee of lawmakers with authority to recommend fresh deficit savings from every corner of the federal budget.

Politically sensitive benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare will be on the table as the panel of six Republicans and six Democrats works against a Thanksgiving

significant reductions in the long-term deficit and protects Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte voted against it, saying it won’t significantly reduce spending, won’t reduce the size of government, doesn’t avoid a downgrading of credit and doesn’t change the trajectory of the nation’s debt. She says the deal continues to perpetuate the culture of overspending and borrowing in Washington.

deadline. So, too, an overhaul of the tax code. Congress will have until Christmas to vote on the recommendations without the ability to make changes.

As an incentive for Congress to act, failure to do so would trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts, affecting the Pentagon as well as domestic programs.

Even before the president signed the legislation, he and Republicans were maneuvering for political position on the next stage.

“We can’t balance the budget on the backs of people who have borne the biggest brunt of this recession,” the president said, renewing his call for higher taxes on the wealthy. “Everyone is going to have to chip in. It’s only fair.”

Senate Republicans say it will not happen.

“I’m comfortable we aren’t going to raise taxes coming out of this joint committee,” McConnell said in an interview with Fox on Monday.

In a speech shortly before the vote, he predicted instead a renewal of the most recent struggle over spending cuts.

The debt limit will have to be raised shortly after the 2012 election, he said, predicting that no president of either party will be “allowed to raise the debt ceiling without ... having to engage in the kind of debate we’ve just been through.”

He conceded that Republicans got only part of what they wanted in the deal, and he pointed to next year’s see next page

Lisa & Jim determined to make ‘Our Place’ feel like your place

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — When Jim Wyatt and Lisa Cox opened the doors to Our Place Family Restaurant on July 19, it was the beginning of a new era for the soon-to-be wed couple. However, it was hardly a step into a new industry for them, as the two have more than 40 years of experience of working at the venerable downtown Soda Shoppe, one of the city’s most well-established eateries.

Wyatt, who started as a dishwasher at the Soda Shoppe when he was a teenager, soon found his way behind the grill and spent more than 25 years in the restaurant’s kitchen. Cox waited tables there for 18 years. When it came time for them to cut the Soda Shoppe’s apron strings – “It was time for us to work for ourselves,” said Cox – they decided to create a restaurant that was, as Wyatt said, “a little bit of home.”

Cox and Wyatt, who started dating about seven years ago, said they had been thinking for years about starting their own place. As they visited various eateries and compared notes about their likes and dislikes, it became clear that their restaurant would feel familiar and comfortable to their patrons, whether they were first-time visitors or daily regulars.

“We like the family feel, the homey feel,” said Wyatt.

“We want them to come in, relax, have a good meal at a good price,” said Cox. Diners have responded. Their first several days were successful and busy, a little busier than they expected. Our Place Family Restaurant, open seven days per week from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., is located at 981 Union Avenue (just south of the Start Street intersection) and seats 50. They’ve been surprised by the IRAQ from page 2 Zebari said no details were settled — like how many U.S. troops would stay, or for how long, or whether they would be given legal immunity from prosecution.

Those issues will be key factors as Washington weighs whether it will continue its military presence in Iraq after more than eight years of war.

In a statement, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad said it would review the Iraqi leaders’ decision.

“We are committed to a broad and long-term partnership with the Iraqi people, and will review our security relationship within that context,” the statement said. from preceding page elections with control of the White House and Congress at stake as a chance to gain greater clout.

“Republicans only control one half of one third of the federal government, but the American people agree with us,” he said.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the period immediately ahead “is going to be painful,” particularly if Republicans insist they will not raise any taxes.

Numerous Democrats have complained about the concessions Obama accepted in the deal, and Reid and other Democrats sought immediately to change the subject.

“We now have the chance to pivot away from budget battles to jobs,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “We can reset the debate, and that’s what we intend to do.”

weekend breakfast crowd and the amount of takeout business they’ve done. “We’ve seen a lot of familiar faces, we’ve seen a lot of new faces, too,” said Cox. Their menu features American breakfast and lunch standards with a few oddball specials available. Pricing was carefully built so that diners can eat for $10 or less per person. The most expensive item, prime rib and eggs, costs $10.99, most items are several dollars less.

Opening and running a restaurant has proven even more exhausting than Cox and Wyatt anticipated. Thanks to hours of labor supplied by friends and family, they were able to open, and they say the

work has been well worth the prize of controlling their own destiny. “If we’re unhappy with something, we can fix it. To come here and do our own thing, it’s nice,” said Cox. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it, it’s definitely worth it.”

“When we leave home, we feel like we’ve come home when we come here,” said Wyatt. “We can’t be more thankful for the patrons we have had so far, who have tried us out. Right out of the chute, they were here to support us.”

“All we want is a nice family setting,” Wyatt continued. “Whether you’re a stranger to the town or not, you’re going to feel welcome here.”

Iraq’s leaders are torn between the nation’s shaky security and its war-weary public in deciding whether U.S. forces should leave by Dec. 31. The issue has also put Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in an uncomfortable position with one of his top allies, anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who is bent on driving American forces from the country.

Washington has offered to have up to 10,000 U.S. troops stay and continue training Iraqi forces on tanks, fighter jets and other military equipment.

Al-Maliki, who likely will lead the negotiations, has proposed that parliament ultimately could vote on the troop dilemma. That would shield him from

political fallout should lawmakers approve asking the U.S. military to stay, although American officials fear there’s not enough support in parliament for such a motion to pass.

Earlier Tuesday, U.S. Joint Chiefs chairman Adm. Mike Mullen left Iraq after a brief visit during which he urged the government to quickly request the troops to stay — or face their imminent departure.

“A significant part of this is just a physics problem,” Mullen told reporters in Baghdad Tuesday morning.

“You get to a point in time where you just can’t turn back and all the troops must leave. That’s why it’s so important to make the decision absolutely as soon as possible.”

BOSTON (AP) — Pinch-runner Jarrod Saltalamacchia dived across home plate to score the winning run on Jacoby Ellsbury’s single in the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2 on a rainy Tuesday night.

Jason Varitek singled with one out in the ninth against Vinnie Pestano (1-1) and Saltalamacchia ran for him. Josh Reddick followed with a single that sent Saltalamacchia to second.

Ellsbury then singled, setting up the play at the plate. Center fielder Eziquiel Cabrera threw home and catcher Carlos Santana caught the ball wide of the plate, but Saltalamacchia won the race and scored.

The start of the game was delayed by rain for one hour, 35 minutes.

Jonathan Papelbon (3-0) got the win after shutting down the Indians on just 10 pitches in the ninth.

Boston posted its six walk-off win of the season.

Jason Kipnis and Lonnie Chisenhall hit solo homers for Cleveland’s runs.

Indians starter David Huff gave up one unearned run and three hits in five innings, and tied his career high with six strikeouts. Huff has allowed just one earned run in three starts this season.

Boston scored in the second on a wild pitch that actually struck out Varitek. Huff followed that by striking out Darnell McDonald and Ellsbury.

Huff left with a 2-1 lead on Chisenhall’s homer into the right-field corner in the fourth.

Reliever Rafael Perez took over for the Indians in the sixth and the first batter he faced was Kevin Youkilis, who tied it at 2-all with a towering solo shot that hit one of the signs above the Green Monster.

Youkilis was ejected after his next at-bat, when he struck out on a checked swing and argued on his way back to the dugout.

Kipnis, who homered in his last at-bat Monday, drove the first pitch he saw from Josh Beckett into the Boston bullpen in the first to put the Indians up 1-0.

Beckett was pulled after six innings, allowing six hits and striking out seven.

NOTES: Red Sox SS Marco Scutaro, who left Monday night’s game with dizziness, was sent for tests Tuesday that cleared him to play, but he was held out of the starting lineup by manager Terry Francona. Scutaro entered the game in the ninth inning after Youkilis’ ejection. Mike Aviles, who started at short, moved over to third.

Woman walks Appalachian Trail in just under 47 days (AP) — Jennifer Pharr Davis set the unofficial record for the fastest hike of the entire Appalachian Trail, yet she said she never ignored the beauty of the 2,180-mile trek from Maine to Georgia.

She saw 36 bears, moose, porcupines and just about every sunrise and sunset during her journey, which lasted exactly 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes since she left Mount Katahdin in Maine on June 16.

“Fastest is so relative,” Davis said Tuesday after estimating she had slept about 30 of the past 48 hours. “My average was 3 mph. So what are you not going to see at 3 mph?”

She emerged from the woods Sunday with her husband by her side and walked to the granite slab on Springer Mountain in Georgia at the trail’s southern end. There cheering for her were her parents and dozens of other family members and friends.

“There were a lot of tears. Everyone was like, ‘Are those happy tears?’ I just said they’re everything tears. I’m so happy. In a way, I’m sad it’s over. I’m tired. It was just like every emotion was coming out at once,” said Davis, 28.

Open 7 Days for Lunch & Dinner Hours: Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday & Saturday 11am-11pm 171 Daniel Webster Highway, Belmont 603-527-8122

She had gone through five pairs of hybrid hiking and running shoes while averaging about 47 miles a day, or nearly two marathons.

No one keeps official speed records for the trail, but Davis said she broke Andrew Thompson’s 2005 mark for the fastest supported “thru hike” by just over 24 hours.

Davis has logged more than 10,000 miles on longdistance trails worldwide. She first hiked the Appalachian trail in 2005 as a recent Samford University graduate with a degree in Classics after spending years studying ancient Greek and Roman literature and history.

Donna Goldfarb, Brady Lynch and Jonathan Weber will star in the Winnipesaukee Playhouse production of `Gigi’, which runs Aug 3-13.

(Courtesy photo)

Winni Playhouse produces original script ‘Gigi’ LACONIA — Seven years before Maurice Chevalier immortalized the words “thank heaven for little girls” in the movie musical `Gigi’, the Broadway play version of Collette’s novel was taking Broadway by storm and introducing to the world a young, unknown actress named Audrey Hepburn.

Anita Loos, best known as the author of `Gentlemen Prefer Blondes;, adapted the 1944 novel about a young Parisian girl being groomed by her grandmother and great-aunt for a career as a courtesan and the wealthy, cultured man who falls in love with her.

The play was the first opportunity that Hepburn was given star billing and, upon seeing her name in lights, she reportedly said, “Oh, dear. And I’ve still got to learn how to act.”

The play was a critical and financial hit and the Winnipesaukee Playhouse will return to the original Broadway script of the 1951 stage play with it’s production of `Gigi’ which opens tonight and runs

through August 13.

Brady Lynch, a recent PSU graduate making her Playhouse debut, plays the title role of Gigi, the spirited teen who is bored with her lessons on jewels and etiquette, but enjoys joking and playing cards with family friend, Gaston Lachaille.

The handsome playboy, played by newcomer Jonathan Weber, also finds himself bored with high society and seeks solace in the home of Gigi’s family.

Donna Goldfarb, who won a NH Theatre Award last year for her role as Bubie in the Playhouse’s production of Crossing Delancey, is featured as Gigi’s grandmother. Rounding out the cast are Beverly Miller, making her Playhouse debut as Aunt Alicia, John Piquado as her stalwart butler, Candace Clift, returning after a two-year absence, to play a saucy maid and Sasha Castroverde, recently seen in The Tempest and Shipwrecked!, playing Gigi’s mother. see next page

Credit Card Debt?

ADVERTORIAL

Solutions that can help you get out of debt.

Tom Hill CGA STAFF WRITER

Every three minutes another person falls behind on credit card debt. It’s no wonder, since every major credit card company has nearly doubled the minimum monthly payment on consumers’ bills. Federal Regulators forced the change because of their concern about the growing mountain of consumer debt, which stands at $2.17 trillion. Many consumers can only pay the minimum payment, which can take up to 30 years to pay off. Now, relief is in sight for millions of Americans.

U.S. CREDIT CARD DEBT PER HOUSEHOLD ($) $10,000 $9,000 $8,000 $7,000 $6,000 $5,000 $4,000 $3,000 $2,000 $1,000 85 87 89 91 93 95 97 99 01 03 05 07 09 (Data Source: U.S. Federal Reserve)

CreditGUARD of America, a non-profit licensed debt management service provider, is making a new program available to lower debt payments and become free of all credit card debt in only three to five years.

Now I can see myself on my way to becoming debt free.” or Jeffery C. who said “CreditGUARD of America helped me consolidate 3 of my credit cards into one affordable payment.

Director Neil Pankhurst says, “it is always our artistic policy to present both new and recycled works as well as audience favorites and we’re pleased to present this example of a classic love story. Gigi is a lush, sweet romance with a vintage feel. Written in the 40s but taking place at the turn-of-the-century, it has old-world charm combined with a spunky leading character who shows some of the sensibilities of a modern, liberated girl on the brink of womanhood. While Gigi’s great-aunt and grandmother are stuck in the 1800s, her views on love and relationships take a giant leap into the 20th century.”

The shabby chic Parisian set is designed by David Towlun and the vintage costumes designed by Lesley

Pankhurst. Matthew Guminski provides the opulent lighting design. `Gig’ may not be suitable for children under the age of 12. Tickets cost $24 for adults and $22 for seniors/ students. There are performances Mondays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. through August 13. Gigi is sponsored by Lowe’s of Gilford and The Fitness Edge in Meredith.

For more information about performances visit www.winniplayhouse. org. Tickets can be booked by calling 366-7377 or stopping by the theatre located in the Alpenrose Plaza in Weirs Beach. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is also still booking for their exciting summer camp program for ages 5-18.

Details are available online.

B.C.

by Dickenson & Clark

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis relax.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A perfectly lovely conversation will get hijacked by someone who desperately needs to be noticed. This person will talk endlessly about himself unless you do something to spread the attention more equitably.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Though imitation is a sincere form of flattery, avoid it this week. It’s better to flatter with your words and keep looking for the muse that is completely, utterly your own.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Like it or not, you are a point of contact for your friends, neighbors and colleagues. They will call you for information and support. They will lean on you because they see you as a pillar of strength.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll think about an opportunity you missed years ago. Would life have been different had you made another choice? Rest assured, you made the right choice then. The future brings even better opportunities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Timing is everything. You have all of the right ingredients for a situation that hasn’t happened yet. It’s your turn to faithfully wait. Stay strong and positive.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 3).

Others are inspired and enthralled by you, magnetized by your aura of glamour. This month, you will benefit from a political change. New people come into power, and you find a comfortable niche. September shows financial growth. You’ll be celebrating your love in October. December is a personal high point. Cancer and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 26, 33, 25 and 20.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll make big plans because you realize that without them you’ll be reacting to life instead of creating it. Even though some of what happens is not up to you, your intention will affect destiny.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Realizing that people want what they cannot have, you’ll use reverse psychology.

You’ll make sure that what you offer has an aura of exclusivity about it.

You’ll make it seem nearly impossible to attain.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can take care of yourself, and you don’t need a loved one to exercise authority over you. You’ll resist all forms of control. You’ll remind everyone where your personal boundaries lie.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may feel something you want slipping away from you. Let it go for now.

Bargaining won’t work in this case.

Work on your own feelings of worthiness instead. Your confidence will be a magnet for the best things in life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When misunderstood, it’s human nature to say the same thing again, only louder.

You’ll wisely go another direction.

You’ll change your language, speaking sweetly and softly to get what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You desire to be successful at an endeavor that just happens to be highly competitive. You have several things going for you, including the fact that you enjoy the work so much that you’ll spend many tireless hours on it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Things start out well, but by the end of the day could get rough. Hungry, tired people will not be on their best behavior, but you will help matters by providing sustenance and a comfortable place to

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, August 3, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I married my wife, “Debbie,” more than a decade ago. I genuinely believe we were brought together by divine providence. The only thing that troubles me is our kids -- Debbie’s children from her first marriage. They didn’t get off to a great start -- the biological father is a deadbeat dad, philanderer, alcoholic and a repeat-offender criminal. I wish I had been there from the start, but that’s the way it goes. I’ve had a lot of catching up to do.

Debbie’s son is terrific -- smart, friendly, talented and putting himself through college. The daughter, however, is a walking soap opera. She’s had two kids (one at age 16), several abortions, multiple divorces and broken relationships, and she’s usually strung out on pills and pot. Her current boyfriend is a married man.

The oldest granddaughter lives with her father, who married someone else and has built a solid family. The younger granddaughter (age 11) lives with her mother. The kid does all the cooking, housekeeping and grocery shopping. My stepdaughter even tried to get the girl to fake a urine sample for a drug test.

My wife and I are at the end of our rope. We cannot endure anymore of this woman’s drama. We know we can’t fix her, so right now, all we want to do is rescue our granddaughter before her life is ruined. I feel like I’m aiming a squirt gun at a forest fire. How can I help my family? -- Stepfather of a Train Wreck Dear Stepfather: Is the father of this child capable of caring for her? If so, you should encourage him to ask for custody.

Barring that, you and your wife ought to consider petitioning for guardianship of your granddaughter. The best way to “rescue” this child is to get her out of her mother’s home and into a stable, loving environment. Please make every effort to do so.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been together for 25 years, and the entire marriage has consisted of his continuous lies about money, gambling and drinking. The latest adventure is his obsession with Internet porn and singles websites.

We attended counseling individually and as a couple. He knew these things were ruining our marriage and vowed over and over to change. Instead, he played me. He would change just long enough for me to forgive him. But I have stopped playing his game. We share a house, and that’s about it.

Years ago, girly magazines were just pictures. Today, there is streaming video of real people who call you by name and can even contact you. After I read the conversations my husband had with other women, any intimacy went out the window. He wonders now why I had a hard time showing him affection. Guys need to stop and think with their hearts and not their computers, and realize the permanent damage these things can do to a marriage. -- Over and Out Dear Over: We agree that Internet porn is a huge problem these days, creating intimacy and trust issues in relationships.

Your husband also has other problems and seems unwilling to work on them. So we have to ask -- why are you still with him?

Please give some serious thought to your alternatives. They might be more attainable than you think.

Dear Annie: This is for “At the End of my Tether in South Dakota,” who is frustrated with her daughter’s filthy room.

The easiest way to deal with this is to tell the daughter that her room is her own business, but she may not have anything in there that can bring vermin into the house. This means no food in her room, and the trash needs to be emptied regularly.

Mom should keep the door closed and let the daughter be a slob, but draw a line where it affects the sanitation of the house. It is not about the daughter. It is about health and safety. -- Ventura, Calif.

Texas jury hears tape of polygamist discussing sex with teenage girls SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — Prosecutors played two audio recordings Tuesday of a polygamist sect leader instructing his 14-year-old “spiritual wife” and several other young women on how to please him sexually, and thus win favor with God. Warren Jeffs, 55, is head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which believes polygamy brings exaltation in heaven.

He is accused of sexually assaulting two girls, ages 12 and 15, he took as brides in what his church calls “spiritual marriages.”

A forensic analyst testified Monday that Jeffs was the father of the 15-yearold’s child. On Tuesday, prosecutors played a tape of Jeffs talking to the girl when she was 14, after Texas Ranger Nick Hanna testified about documents and electronic files seized during a 2008 police raid at the church’s remote compound in West Texas.

The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of sexual crimes.

Among the materials recovered during the raid was a record of Jeffs’ marriage “for time and all eternity” with the 14-year-old in January 2004.

An excerpt from hundreds of pages of Jeffs’ personal journals said the child was “pure and innocent and willing to obey” and that he summoned her parents and “informed them of their girl belonging to me.”

Followers see Jeffs as a prophet who is God’s spokesman on earth.

Hanna read from Jeffs’ journals, which said he took the 14-yearold the night after their wedding with him and another of his new wives on a car ride for “training.” There, he instructed them on their responsibilities as his wives and had the session taped. The recording was transcribed and placed in church records later seized by police.

Lead prosecutor Eric Nichols played the tape

along using transcripts.

“A good wife is trained for her husband and follows the spirit of peace,” Jeffs is heard saying. He also makes reference to “drawing close” or “being close,” which is how church members refer to sex. Two female voices say “OK.” In describing the session in his journal later, Jeffs said he told his wives they were “honorable vessels, property of your husband’s kingdom and the Kingdom of God on Earth.”

Jeffs has represented himself since firing his high-powered attorneys last week. He objected half a dozen times to the tape being played, arguing that the training session was protected by religious privacy rights. State District Judge Barbara Walther overruled him.

Later, Nichols played a 58-minute clip of another so-called training session from December 2004, this one involving what he described as 12 “young” ladies, including the one from the first recording.

Jeffs stood up and talked over it, rambling about how a holy trust was being broken. “I am but a mortal man seeking peace,” he said. “I am not a threat to anyone. My faith is my only weapon.”

Nichols said Jeffs was interrupting too much and shouldn’t be allowed to represent himself. Walther let Jeffs continue.

“Mr. Jeffs, I do not want you to be removed from this courtroom,” the judge said. “But you are jeopardizing your right to represent yourself with your continued behavior.”
