Fresh blood & sweat equity bringing Belknap 4-H Fair back for a 68th year

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Several months ago, exhausted organizers behind the Belknap County 4-H fair, the only surviving such fair in the state, called a meeting to discuss whether or not the fair would continue. With too much to do and too few hands to help, it appeared as though the fair might cease after 67 years.

Fortunately for fans of the fair, the meeting in March served as a call to arms, to which nearly 50 people responded. Fran Wendelboe of New Hampton was elected fair president, relieving Wendy French, and several other volunteers raised their hands to accept a share of work. As a result, the Belknap County 4-H Fair will see its

68th occurrence on August 13 and 14.

In recent years, Wendelboe noted, the fair had stretched from two days to three, partly because midway operators are far more interested in three-day events. This year, though, the fair will be held over two days and will focus solely on its fundamental virtues. By trimming away the peripherals, the fair is going to focus all of its energies on celebrating agriculture and achievements of children involved in 4-H programs, and doing so within a family-friendly environment. Like a seasoned perennial, the fair has been cut back so that it may thrive again.

LACONIA — A city man is being held on $20,000 cash bail after he tried to swim from a police officer who was trying to arrest him during an alleged drug sale.

Adam Tusi, 27, of 9 Isabella St. is charged with felony possession of narcotic drugs, oxycodone; felony possession of narcotic drugs with intent to distribute; and a Class B misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.

Affidavits made available in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, say Master Patrol Officer Earnest Blanchette was in a concealed location around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night when he noticed the same vehicle enter Bartlett Beach on Lake Winniwauam three times — stopping in the lot on the third time.

Blanchette said he walked up to the car and looked inside to see what the driver was doing and noted he had cash in his hands. When the man’s cell phone rang, he answered it and then pulled up to a fence and see sWIM page 12

Police impound pickup belonging to Celina’s stepdad STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. (AP) — Law enforcement officials looking into the death of an 11-year-old New Hampshire girl whose body was pulled from a river this week entered her home with a warrant Wednesday and impounded her stepfather’s pickup truck, as her mother began making arrangements for a private memorial service.

New Hampshire State Police loaded the late-model silver pickup truck onto a flatbed, and gloved crime scene technicians examined its undercarriage before it was hauled away.

Investigators also re-entered the home

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. (AP) — A new federal report says Vermont leads the nation in the rate of young people who drink alcohol and is second in the country for youthful marijuana use.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found that New Hampshire ranked second in youthful alcohol abuse and eighth in marijuana use.

The survey found that more than a third of people between the ages of 12 and 20 in Vermont and New Hampshire had consumed alcohol in the past month.

About a quarter of them had consumed at least five drinks on the same occasion, meeting the definition of binging.

The Valley News (http://bit.ly/riSdep ) says the lowest rate see TEENS page 4

as they sought evidence that could assist in the criminal investigation in the death of Celina Cass, who was last seen at a computer at her home the night of July 25 and was reported missing the next morning, Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said.

The fifth-grader was missing for a week before her body was found Monday in the Connecticut River, which divides New Hampshire and Vermont. An autopsy didn’t immediately provide the cause or manner of her death. Investigators labeled her death suspicious and said the case was being treated as a criminal investigation.

With their home cordoned off by police tape, the family is staying with friends and relatives, but friends won’t disclose the family’s location.

Close family friend Jeanine Brady, the employer of Celina’s mother, Louisa Noyes, said the girl’s body has been turned over to the family and a service is being planned.

Brady declined to say where or when the service would be held. She said it will be private.

Brady said Noyes has been surrounded by her family since Celina’s disappearance.

“She needed the utmost privacy,” Brady said. see PICKUP page 12

Oklahoma woman claims legendary plane hijacker was her uncle OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — When an FBI agent pleaded several years ago for help finding notorious skyjacker D.B. Cooper, he wondered, off-handedly, if someone’s “odd uncle” might be their guy.

Marla Cooper believes her late uncle Lynn Doyle Cooper was, and is “thoroughly convinced” he hijacked a plane in 1971 and parachuted away with $200,000 ransom into a rainy night over the Pacific Northwest.

“I was 8 years old, so I can’t tell you exactly what he said, but I do remember the words: ‘Our money problems are over. We just need to go back and get the money,’” she said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday.

While federal investigators say solving the hijacking is a low priority because present-day criminals pose a greater threat, the case holds a prominent place in American folklore: here’s a guy who pulled an incred-

ible heist and got away.

“We’re desperate to believe in people who can do things we can’t,” said Geoffrey Gray, who has written a book about the case.

The FBI isn’t convinced D.B. Cooper even survived the jump, but has chased more than 1,000 leads in the nation’s only unsolved hijacking. It said Monday it was following a new lead, but FBI agent Fred Gutt declined Wednesday to say whether see COOPER page 13

MEREDITH from page one building and stole an empty cash register.

“Aside from an expensive cash register, they didn’t get anything,” he said.

Chance said police believe the same person or people also broke into the

nearby Dunkin’ Donuts, but realized the cash register was empty and left without anything.

He asked that anyone with any information about this or any other crime should contact the Meredith Police Department at 267-4561.

TEENS from page one was in Utah, where only 14 percent of young people drank in the past month.

“We are concerned,” said Barbara Cimaglio, deputy commissioner of the alcohol and drug abuse programs for the Vermont Department of Health.

“We know there is a challenge in front of us.”

On marijuana, the study found that 11 percent of Vermonters and 10 percent of New Hampshire residents had used marijuana in the past month, but that higher percentages of young people had done so. More than 30 percent of Vermont 18-to-25-year-olds reported smoking marijuana recently.

The number was 27 percent in New Hampshire.

“It’s a time of experimentation and exploring what does it mean to be an adult,” Cimaglio said. “I think that

comes with testing out a lot of risky behavior.” Theories abound as to why alcohol and marijuana use are so prevalent in this region, Cimaglio said. Among the theories: the states’ geography as a corridor between Montreal and Boston, a permissive culture and long, cold winters that limit other types of entertainment.

Robert Bryant, program director at Second Growth, a non-profit socialservice agency in White River Junction, cited what he called cultural acceptance. “It’s become part of the fabric of the community that using, for the adult population, is acceptable behavior.”

Drinking and marijuana use are accepted as normal, every-day behavior among many adults in this region, he said, and those messages trickle down to kids.

Muskrats rally to take game 1 in Newport, can close out series tonight at Robbie Mills Field NEWPORT, R.I. — Laconia rallied for three runs on five singles in the top of the eighth inning here Wednesday night and went on to stun host Newport, 4-3, in the first of three game series to determine which team advances to the Eastern Division Championship Series of the New England Collegiate Baseball League.

Game two is tonight at 6:05 p.m at Robbie Mills Field in Laconia.

The homestanding Gulls were the regular season champion of the Eastern Division, and at 29-13 had the overall best record in the league. Laconia was 18-24 and finished fourth in the east.

If a third game is necessary it will be played back

here in Newport on Friday night.

Will Johnson scored a run for the visiting Muskrats in the first on a single by Chris Costantino but Newport came back to carry a 3-1 lead into the eighth.

James Beck started the inning off with a single and Kendall Keeton followed with another hit. After two outs, Bigan Rademacher, Costantino and Dylan Kelly all produced singles that drove in runs.

The winning pitcher for Laconia was Harry Glynne, who pitched a scoreless seventh inning. William Prince picked up the last out and was credited with a save.

Attendance was reported as 2,448 fans.

Ellsbury delivers again for Red Sox BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury never had a game-winning hit before this week.

Now he has two in as many games.

One night after his ninth-inning single drove in the game-winning run, the Red Sox center fielder homered with two outs in the ninth on Wednesday to give the Boston Red Sox a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Indians.

“The guy’s got us two nights in a row,” said Indians reliever Joe Smith (2-2), who retired the first two batters in the ninth before Ellsbury hit an 0-1 pitch over the wall in straightaway center.

Asked if the pitch was where he wanted it, Smith said: “Four hundred and fifteen away to the middle of center? No.” Jonathan Papelbon (4-0) pitched a perfect ninth for Boston, which won for the 10th time in 13 games.

Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez each had two hits, and Tim Wakefield took a three-hitter into the seventh but could not collect career victory No. 200.

Jason Kipnis homered for the fourth straight day for Cleveland, which lost for the 10th time in 13 games to fall to .500 for the first time since the fourth game of the year. Starter Carlos Carrasco allowed three runs — two earned — and nine hits and three walks while striking out five before leaving with the game tied 3-all in the eighth inning.

Tony Sipp struck out two in a perfect eighth, and then Smith retired pinch-hitter Darnell McDonald and No. 9 hitter Marco Scutaro before Ellsbury, who was 0 for 4 so far in the game, came to the plate.

Ellsbury, who hit a one-out single to win it on Tuesday, drove it over the high wall in center.

“I realized it was the ninth inning and I had been 0 for 4 both games. I’m just trying to get on base,” he said. “The last two days have been pretty good.”

Wakefield took a 3-2 lead into the seventh inning with a chance for his 200th win, but he gave up doubles to Lonnie Chisenhall and Ezequiel Carrera to tie it. Red Sox manager Terry Francona headed to the mound, leading Wakefield to pound his fist in frustration and drawing boos from the crowd.

The fans cheered Wakefield as he left the field, but he did not react. He allowed three runs and five hits and two walks in all, striking out six in 6 2-3 innings.

“It’s hard,” Francona said. “I knew what it meant to the fans wanting to see it — and so do I — and to him personally. But you do what you have to do to try and win the game.”

The right-handed knuckleballer, who turned 45 on Tuesday and is the oldest active player in the majors, will have another chance at becoming the 108th pitcher with 200 wins — the 89th since 1900 — is expected to come on Monday or Tuesday night.

Carrasco, who had lost five straight starts, was suspended six games and fined $2,500 for throwing at the head of Kansas City’s Billy Butler on Friday night. He said he would drop his appeal and begin the suspension after Wednesday night’s game.

Notes: The teams are back for game four of the series on Thursday night, when newly acquired starter Erik Bedard will face former Red Sox pitcher Justin Masterson. Masterson is 3-3 with a 1.76 ERA in his past 11 games (10 starts). He was part of the deal that brought Victor Martinez to Boston at the 2009 trading deadline. In three career starts against his former team, he is 2-0 with a 1.25 ERA. ... Bedard only went 1 1-3 innings and gave up five runs in his previous start, for Seattle against Tampa Bay — his first start since coming off the DL (sprained left knee). ... To make room for Jimenez on the roster, the Indians optioned LHP David Huff to Triple-A Columbus. ... Indians OF Michael Brantley was given the night off to rest his sore right wrist. ... Kipnis is the first Indians rookie to homer in four straight games since Al Rosen in 1950, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. ... Pedroia was the AL player of the month for July, with 46 hits in the month. ... Boston SS Marco Scutaro was back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s game with dizziness. ... The Red Sox batter with game-ending hits on consecutive days of the regular season was Butch Hobson in 1978, though David Ortiz did it in the 2004 playoffs against the New York Yankees.

Quickly back to Big Government, as usual The American Age of Austerity lasted approximately three minutes, give or take a nanosecond. Immediately after the Senate approved the bipartisan “Budget Control Act of 2011” on Tuesday afternoon, President Obama hustled over to the Rose Garden — to crow about the renewed opportunity to make “key investments.”

Yes, the pitched battle to force government to live within its means has preserved the failed stimulatorin-chief’s ability to keep spending like there’s no tomorrow. As the curtains closed on D.C.’s debt-ceiling theater, Obama wasted no time putting his new “investment” priorities on the table: higher taxes, more funding for endless unemployment benefits and a “national infrastructure bank.”

I don’t need to bet you a supersized bowl of peas that pushover Republicans will be ready to toss their tea party costumes under the bus and rejoin the spending parade faster than you can say “Fitch.” Take that government-sponsored infrastructure bank idea. Undaunted by his spectacular porkulus bust and unemployment numbers still hovering near double-digits, Obama peddled this latest shovel-unready scheme last week: “We’ve got the potential to create an infrastructure bank that could put construction workers to work right now,” he asserted at a press conference, “rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our vital infrastructure all across the country. So those are still areas where I think we can make enormous progress.”

How about some progress on the nearly $230-billion already allocated in the original trillion-dollar stimulus law for infrastructure, or the $73-billion in regular infrastructure appropriations spent every year by the feds? Ah, silly me.

The government definition of “living within their means” requires politicians to blather, spend and repeat without regard to the consequences.

Sponsored by Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry, the fantasyland infrastructure slush fund has support from Texas GOP Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and the corporate welfare-friendly U.S. Chamber of Commerce. How would it work, and who would pay? Unveiled at the radical leftist Center for American Progress in January, Kerry and Company’s pipe dream would somehow leverage

$10-billion in unidentified public funds into $640-billion in government loans and loan guarantees for union-exclusive construction and bogus green jobs projects. As I’ve summarized before, the infrastructure banks would borrow more money the government doesn’t have to dole out grants that wouldn’t be paid back and don’t require interest payments.

Last week at a Chamber of Commerce jobs summit shindig, Obama supporter and head of General Electric Co. Jeffrey Immelt pushed a “repatriation tax holiday” to help pay for the infrastructure bank. The idea would be to pressure companies to redistribute foreign profits back to the U.S. by giving them a special tax break. But this isn’t just any ordinary tax relief. And this isn’t just any ordinary company championing the proposal. This is the same GE lobbying machine that has raised rent-seeking — squeezing special regulatory and economic favors from government pals — to an art form.

As Trey Kovacs at the Competitive Enterprise Institute points out: “GE notoriously paid zero taxes in 2010. GE has continuously lobbied Congress for beneficial legislation while contributing millions to topdown spending Democratic cronies to achieve these ends. ... In true GE fashion, the purpose of this financial policy is for GE to benefit from government subsidies from the infrastructure bank, and with Obama in charge, there is no doubt GE will be one of the largest beneficiaries of this government spending.”

In keeping with the increasing delegation of spending powers to unelected bureaucrats and donors, infrastructure bank projects would be funded based on their “social benefits,” among other progressive criteria, by an Obama-appointed panel.

Yes, ignore the bicker-fest. Democrats and Republicans are joining hands to kick the proverbial can down the road, toss it over the guard rail and plunge it irretrievably into a Grand Canyon of $6-trillion in new debt over the next four years.

It’s back to big government-spending as usual. Party on.

LETTERS Freedom is not the exclusive heritage of any single religion To the editor, I fear that Rev. Randlett stretches his points too far when he claims that “freedom is a Biblical concept” or that Scripture laid the groundwork for the American way of people choosing their leaders. It’s a dangerous twoedged assumption to say that because freedom is mentioned or found in the Bible that it’s a “Christian concept.”

Christians don’t make the same claim for some of the other concepts that can be found in the Old or New Testament, such as slavery, female submission, and stoning.

It should be remembered that the years when state and church in Western Christendom were most entwined were not always fruitful times for free-

dom. Ruthless monarchs and vicious dictators were often the norm, claiming the “divine right of kings.” Rulers and clerics long denied freedom of conscience and freedom of religion.

They justified themselves by the proposition that “error has no rights,” a religious idea not formally abandoned by the Catholic Church until 1965 at the Second Vatican Council.

The point is not that lack of freedom is a Christian concept, or that Christianity breeds repression. It is that freedom is not the exclusive heritage of any single religion. It belongs to people of many faiths, as well as to those with no religion.

No wake zone proponent signed the hearing register twice To the editor, Thank you for your informative article by Michael Kitch concerning the Barber Pole No Wake Zone. I was fortunate to be able to attend the hearing and had another observation to be noted.

At the front of the Tuftonboro Meeting House at the July 30 hearing there was a table where people could sign in as for or against the proposal. During the sign-in, an older woman from Little Birch Island noticed that the person in front of her was signing two names. She pointed out to him that one had to be present to be able to sign. She was told to mind her own business to which she responded “this is my business”.

This incident was pointed out to Mr. Duclos who was heading the meeting by this woman and by another person

who testified. From my understanding, nothing was done to identify the double signer and correct the record.

I question if this was the only person signing more than one name. I also find it ironic in that the validity of signatures on the original petitions was called into question by those opposed to the measure on two consecutive years.

I hope that the this potential “skew” of the numbers for and against this NO Wake Zone is taken into account by the Dept. of Safety before rendering its decision. I would also argue... what has changed since last year’s decision whereby significant safety and erosion issues were acknowledged by the DOS? C. Clark Tuftonboro

Sure couldn’t tell Republicans are generous by budget they built To the editor, I would appreciate learning Mr. Earle’s “evidence” about the dominance of charitable giving of “conservatives” over “liberals”.

Certainly our most recent state budget provides no evidence to support that claim. This budget will deprive families of much-needed financial support for child care which allows both parents to hold down jobs that keep the family out of poverty. This budget slashes funding for the Children In Need of Services program, which is designed to keep troubled youth out

of jail and away from the influence of drugs. This budget made draconian cuts in state funding to both the state university and community college systems, making it much harder for New Hampshire students to afford a quality education that could keep them in the job market and off the welfare rolls. This budget cut funding for our state’s hospitals which has already caused numerous layoffs, closures of essential services such as ambulance availability and shut off access to health care for countless New Hampsee next page

LETTERS As adults we frequently face high-stakes challenges at work To the editor, Big Ed was on the march in D.C. last weekend. Teachers’ unions and public education lobbyists were again demanding that taxpayers and parents overlook an astounding record of failure and return to a path leading to economic disaster. After reading position papers from the march organizers (the ironically-named “Save Our Schools”), I was reminded of my days as navigator on a Navy destroyer.

Before GPS brought pinpoint navigation to the masses, sailing safely from port A to port B required a mix of technology, art, training and vigilance.

The key was to periodically establish your position – “taking a fix” – then making adjustments to avoid hazards and keep on track. Electronic systems, observations, and manual updates never matched exactly, but each provided vital information the captain used to ensure his ship was on course.

As with navigating, so too with educating a child: Parents and teachers need to know where a student is in relation to where he should be, adjusting as necessary to remain on track. Unfortunately, high on the D.C. marchers’ list of demands is ending so-called “high stakes” testing and other quantifiable measures of professional accountability. If these union officials and teachers succeed, the good ship “USS Public Education” will be dashed against the rocks, having failed the basic requirement of navigation: You have to know where you are in relation to where you need to be.

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law is the frequently-cited boogeyman of public educators and union officials.

Administrators, teachers, and school boards across the country assail that legislation as if it were the root of all evil. NCLB has flaws. But the law, passed by overwhelming bi-partisan congressional majorities, was not created in an environment of educational success. It was designed in part to bring measures of accountability to a system consuming hundreds of billions of tax dollars annually but producing distressing numbers of high school graduates unprepared for the challenges of the post-secondary world. For example, last year 85-percent of incoming freshmen at Nashua Community College were required to take remedial classes. Business leaders frequently cite lack of basic skills as impediments to filling entry-level jobs. Clearly, education professionals were not using all the tools at their disposal to recognize and address

such systemic failures on their own.

Before NCLB, taxpayers and parents lacked the data to know whether children were on track. Add social promotion to the mix, and parents couldn’t prove educational malpractice where only 20 or 30 public school children out of 100 could demonstrate proficiency in math, science, civics, or English. “High stakes” testing has provided that data.

In an eye-opening position paper from Save Our Schools, teachers are exhorted to “raise the bar on the way we assess student learning.” After a lengthy quote from President Obama, the paper adopts his infamous “false choices” rhetoric, painting a rosy picture of a post “assessment-for-accountability regime” while trying to discredit current test data proving we are far off course. If only we’d give teachers “the responsibility to design assessments, they can discover how much students have learned.” Yes, let’s rid ourselves of those inconvenient numbers showing a lack of student and teacher proficiency in key learning areas and declining academic standing measured against our economic competitors. Shoal water dead ahead.

Naturally, the people most responsible for generating this record of failure target the messenger. Another SOS position paper blames testing for creating stress that “drives (students) to cheat” or “face unfair personal and academic consequences.” The authors claim that a lack of resources ($600-billion doesn’t buy what it used to) forces educators to “narrow” curricula, “focus more instructional attention” on struggling students, and even “cheat.”This is the worst kind of excuse-making for the educational fraud making headlines in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. “High stakes” tests like SATs have been around for a long time. Today they are one important measure of knowledge attainment that helps establish whether an “A” earned at one school has the same value as an “A” from a school across the state, country, or globe. As adults we frequently face high-stakes challenges at work and at home. That’s life in the real world. The sooner children learn that lesson, and how to cope with stress, the better off they’ll be. The sooner our education system meets the assessment challenge instead of making excuses and cheating, the better off we’ll all be.

This Legislature attempted to lower the drop-out age to make it easier for students to leave school and fall behind. This legislature attempted to do away with mandatory kindergarten, placing our youngest at a severe

educational disadvantage.

Yes, the situation in our state is worse than it was when the legislature first convened in January. But you simply cannot blame that situation on Democrats.

MEDICAID from page one Medicaid patients.

How many patients could be affected and who are they? The short answer is between 5,000 and 6,000 persons, mostly low-income women and children and people of all ages with disabilities.

Medicaid serves five major groups of needy individuals: children, pregnant women, adults with dependent children, individuals with physical and mental disabilities and the elderly. According to the “New Hampshire Medicaid Annual Report, 2010,” the program provided medical, psychological and social services to 165,609 people during the fiscal year 2010.

The 96,035 low-income children represented the largest group, accounting for 58-percent of all patients, followed by 26,139 low-income adults at 16-percent.

The 1,816 disabled children accounted for one-percent and disabled adults, 10,649 with physical disabilities and 13,382 with mental illness, represented six-percent and eight-percent respectively.

The balance, consists of 11,682 elderly, including those eligible for Medicare whose insurance may be paid by Medicaid.

More than half of all Medicaid enrollees are women, who represent 84-percent of low-income adults and 74-percent of the elderly. Only among low-income children and disabled children are men in the majority.

In the area served by the two hospitals operated by LRGHealthcare, there were 9,145 persons enrolled in the program. Medicaid patients represent 13-percent of the 49,015 people served by Lakes Region General Hospital and 16-percent of the 17,331 served by Franklin Regional Hospital.

Across the state, 57-percent of the Medicaid population uses hospital outpatient services, indicating that some 5,200 patients are within LRGH’s reach. Likewise, hospital inpatient services are used by 11-percent of the Medicaid population, which amounts to another 1,000 patients. And physician and related services are used by 72-percent of the Medicaid population, or more than 6,500 of those in the area served by LRGH. The regional Medicaid population is not broken down into demographic categories. But applying the proportions across the state to the region indicates that of the Medicaid enrollees in the area served by LRGHealthcare, more than 3,000 are low-income children and some 800 are low-income adults, most of whom are women, and another 1,300 are children and adults with disabilities.

Acute care, including medical treatment and behavioral services, account for 40-percent of Medicaid provider payments. Payments for hospital outpatient,

hospital inpatient and physician and related services, which amounted to about $200-million in 2010, represented about half of all acute care expenses and a fifth of all provider payments in 2010.

Those with low-income, both children and adults, represent the lion’s share of payments for acute care to hospitals and physician practices. Low-income children account for 39-percent of all payments for acute care and severely disabled children for another six-percent. Low-income adults, again predominantly women, account for 16-percent of acute care expenses and disabled adults for 34-percent.

By contrast, 90-percent of expenditures for longterm care are represented by the elderly with 43-percent and disabled adults with 47-percent.

Although low-income children represent almost 60-percent of the Medicaid population, they account for only 22-percent of total expenditures. Likewise, low-income adults are 16-percent of enrollees, but consume eight-percent of expenditures. Altogether low-income children and adults represent nearly

three-quarters Medicaid enrollees, but account for less than a third of all expenditures.

Meanwhile, the physically disabled, mentally ill and elderly are approximately a quarter of those enrolled in the program, but account for more than two-thirds of its costs. The cost of long-term care, in nursing facilities and at home, approached $500-million in 2010, almost half of all Medicaid spending, easily the largest single expense.

In a declaration in support of the lawsuit, Henry Lipman, senior vice-president and chief financial officer of LRGH, outlined the steps the corporation would take to offset the loss of state funding. Physician practices would be closed to new Medicaid and Medicaid eligible patients, along with those referred through the HealthLink program, which he estimates would affect 2,400 patients. Elective procedures, including surgery, testing and rehabilitation would be curtailed or deferred for the same classes of patients, estimated at near 4,000.

4-H FAIR from page one to bloom,” said Wendelboe, who then joked, “I guess I’m the fertilizer.”

The Belknap County Fairgrounds, located on Mile Hill Road in Belmont, has been the recipient of many hours of volunteered labor this summer.

A work party was held one weekend last month, during which the grounds received many improvements. A crew of inmates from the Belknap County Department of Corrections has also been toiling at the property this summer. Wendelboe said the men rebuilt a section of the exhibit barn, painted and will work to further clean up the property in advance of the fair. After the fair, Wendelboe and Corrections Superintendent Dan Ward hope to have the crew replace the leaky metal roof on one of its buildings.

Although the fair won’t have a midway, organizers think they’ve got plenty of attractions filling the weekend’s schedule. Herding dog shows, steer and

oxen competitions and various craft and agriculture demonstrations are available. Of course, children will show all nature of 4-H animals. Local police will put on a bicycle rodeo and several other children’s activities will be offered. Musical acts and a traveling magician will keep fairgoers entertained and wide variety of concessions will keep them full.

What’s become a traditional virtue of the fair, a chicken barbecue will be held on Saturday evening.

Underscoring the family-friendly atmosphere, attendance to the fair is affordable, costing $6 for those 12 years old and older and free for children younger than 12. The chicken barbecue costs $8 per plate, though those who call the Belknap County 4-H Cooperative Extension at 527-5475 prior to August 6 will pay $6 per plate.

STOCKS from page 2 investors are becoming increasingly worried about the U.S. economy.

Shortly after the market opened, the Institute of Supply Management said its index measuring the service sector of the U.S. economy grew in July at the weakest pace in 17 months. Economists had expected a slight increase.

The report was the latest sign over the last week that the economy may be slowing. Consumer cut

their spending in June for the first time in nearly two years; manufacturing slowed, and the government said that in the first half of the year the economy grew at its slowest pace since the recession ended in June 2009.

“There has been too much at the same time for investors to hang in there and you’re starting to see some element of panic finally showing up,” said Andrew Goldberg, U.S. market strategist at JP Morgan Funds.

The Dow, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index and Nasdaq were down more than 1 percent earlier in the day, but edged higher throughout the afternoon.

The Dow Jones industrial average finished with a gain of 0.3 percent, to 11,896.44. The S&P 500 index rose 6.29, or 0.5 percent, to 1,260.34. The S&P had been down for seven straight days through Tuesday.

It is up 0.2 percent for the year after being down 0.3 for the year on Tuesday.

The Nasdaq composite added 23.83, or 0.9 percent, to 2,693.07.

The broad S&P 500 index— the index followed by most professional money managers and U.S. mutual funds — rose after it hit a low for the year of 1,234.

Some investors saw it as an opportunity to buy the S&P 500 index. As a whole, companies in the index are expected to have record profits this year.

Some of those gains might also be due to automatic buying triggered when an index reaches a certain level. Many traders use computer programs that buy or sell stocks once they break through their long-term averages.

“It seems like the early money was based on fear and the market climbed back as computer-program trading took over,” said Mark Lamkin, the head of Lamkin Wealth Management in Louisville, Kentucky.

Lamkin said the stock market was in a “tug of war” between strong corporate earnings and a “horrible economic backdrop.”

Coca-Cola led the Dow average higher with a gain of nearly 2 percent. Companies that depend most on an expanding economy in order to make profits had the steepest losses. Caterpillar Inc. fell 0.9 percent, the most of the 30 stocks in the Dow average, fol-

LETTERS Liberals cling to idea that redistribution of wealth is key to prosperity To the editor, Bernard Goldberg may have come up with the liberal oxymoron for the ages. The liberal media and perhaps even Joe Biden have characterized the Tea Party conservatives as terrorists for believing that this country should, gasp, balance the budget.

Yet, they blindly refuse to label real terrorists like the Fort Hood shooter, Major Nidal Hasan. Liberal irony seemingly knows no bounds. Anyway, this is how far to the left into socialism we have traveled in the past one hundred years. So far to the left that the Democrats and all their progressive media groupies like Alan Colmes can actually say with a straight face that we haven’t yet spent enough money. We need another $800-million stimulus and more taxes to get the economy rolling. We need more government agencies to oversee job growth. $1.75-trillion worth of regulations on our job creators is just not enough. Yes, the answer is not to cull the hundreds of programs that have never been proven successful, but remain because, unlike the private sector, they don’t have to be successful to survive. At last count, there are at least 2,184 assistance programs.

Stubbornly, petulantly and willfully, President Obama and his merry band of progressives cling to “redistribution of wealth” as the answer to all our fiscal and financial woes.

According to the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, “Despite the handwringing and lectures from Geithner and his accomplices, there is no need to raise the federal debt limit. The U.S. government already spends an obscene amount of money every month, and this could be scaled back to the current inflow of tax receipts”. With the billions of dollars that monthly fill government coffers, President Obama

put forth his favorite posture, dividing the nation through class warfare and demeaning the wealth creators in this country. Flat out lying by scaring the bejeebers out of seniors by claiming he could not guarantee their Social Security checks would arrive this month.

His arrogant, divisive lack of leadership has been appalling throughout this entire process.

The bad news is that President Obama’s policies have engendered an economic decline as we peruse the latest gruesome, economic statistics just released this week. Let’s face it, there is no recovery. Some experts say that even though we raised the debt ceiling, our triple A rating is destined to be lowered. The Cut, Cap and Balance plan would likely have provided enough confidence within this country, that Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s would not have touched our AAA rating, which if dropped will have a dramatic impact on college loans and credit cards.

In an effort to find a silver lining in all this gloom, please ponder this comment by Daniel Horowitz of Redstate. com. “Obama, through his vivid demonstration of failed socialism, has been a more effective advocate for limited government than any conservative leader.” If the eventual Republican nominee can’t make that point crystal clear to this nation’s voters, well then, our children and grandchildren may have no idea why their standard of living has declined precipitously compared with that of their parents and grandparents.

Finally, kudos to Kelly Ayotte for voting against this bipartisan compromise plan that will ultimately do very little in addressing this country’s irresponsible overspending and gargantuan indebtedness.

Former speaker said half of U.S. budget ends up with foreign governments To the editor, An open letter to U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen: In the year 1988, then Speaker of the U.S. House Jim Wright spoke here in Laconia. He was asked why Members of Congress were taking so many “junkets” to countries elsewhere in the world. Speaker Wright’s response was reported in the Laconia Citizen as being, we’re taking junkets because “over half of the federal budget ends up in the hands of governments overseas”.

Ten years later, in 1998, the evidence that President Clinton was accepting bribes for sending American tax dollars to nations overseas was so overwhelming that the Congress impeached him. President Clinton’s backers got the charges switched from the impeachable offense of bribery, to

a bedroom farce and the Senate did not convict.

Today why has the recently passed debt ceiling act attacked only the spending for domestic programs? Why not first eliminate foreign spending?

First, eliminate foreign spending because as one time Speaker Jim Wright of the Congress of the United States of America, speaking here in Laconia told us, eliminating foreign spending would cut one half of our federal spending out of the federal budget.

Secondly, is it not true that foreign spending should be eliminated, because sending U.S. tax money to foreign governments is prohibited by the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America?

To the editor, America may soon create a problem. It may run out of money. In the modern world, debt is money and money is debt. The ability to issue debt is essential to the state. America has the ability to issue debt but seems to lack the political will to do so.

As a direct result a self-made crisis is being played out. The problem is re-emerging after 40 years of a shift to fiat money which is a change that had seemed to remove all constraints on money creation. This shift drove most of the developments of the last 40 years.

In the past, countries could run out of money in three ways. In a system backed by gold, governments are constrained in their ability to create money because they need reserves.

That requires the country to keep its trade in balance over an extended period. To maintain that trade balance, the government constrains the choices of its citizens.

Countries can adopt an outside currency, and give up the money creation power. They still have the ability to borrow money but if they are perceived to abuse that right, financing becomes too expensive. This is what is happening with Greece, which has run out of money and depends on subsidized loans from its neighbors.

A government could so abuse its money-creating power that hyperinflation sets in and the currency no longer becomes acceptable for commerce.

America seems to be creating a fourth route to running out of money.

America is in the throes of a sort of political death grip on the money supply. Our political system has produced a form of political resistance to

the money creation process. Concerns about the long-term direction of U.S. government finances are quite understandable. The issue is that entitlements and interest are set to absorb the entire federal budget by 2025.

The political choices made by the parties in control of our political system have created a situation a fourth grader can see are untenable. Both sides however continue to hold to positions they recognize as ridiculous. They are ridiculous because while many of the programs, rules and regulations may have desirable components they are simply not sustainable based our ability to pay for them.

That said, the debt ceiling needed to be raised to pay for spending Congress had already voted for and authorized. Refusing to do so would unfairly punish the holders of the debt. To fail to do so would jeopardize the full faith and credit of America. It does nothing to correct the underlying issues.

There are many differences to be voted on in the next election. There are many reasons to have an election.

The people we elected to represent us have created the spending and the debt we are issuing additional debt to cover. It is irresponsible to default to make a political point. It is time to grow up and act like adults.

The 2012 election will provide an opportunity for clarification of the intent of the voting public. The outcome of the election will decide the fate of many issues. Certainly the issue of restricting entitlements and the nature and level of taxation will be determined by who wins control of all branches of government. Vote early, vote often.

Young professionals networking to help stem Granite State’s ‘brain drain’

By RogeR Amsden AMSDEN NEWS AGENCY

LACONIA — It has long been the conventional wisdom that New Hampshire loses its best and brightest young talent to other states because it a boring place for young people.

Currently half of the state’s graduating high school students attend college outside of the Granite State. And half of those who graduate from New Hampshire’s state colleges also move on, leaving the state at too high a rate to meet projected employment needs, especially for skilled workers.

The stakes are high. New Hampshire’s population is the fourth oldest in the nation, and, as baby boomers retire, employers are having trouble finding skilled workers, even in an economy still painfully groping to recover from a prolonged recession.

To counter that trend, a nonprofit organization known as Stay Work Play NH was formed in 2009 with the goal of exposing more young people to the advantages of remaining in or returning to New Hampshire. That effort builds off the work of the University System of New Hampshire and partnering organizations who in 2007 established the 55-percent Initiative which set a goal of encouraging at least 55-percent of the new graduates to stay compared to approximately 50-percent who currently stay.

Locally a group known as the Lakes Region Young Professionals, an initiative of the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, is part of that statewide effort.

“The Chamber saw the need to reach out in a positive way to younger workers, to get them involved in a group which was separate from the Chamber, one which they shaped themselves,’’ says Joel Arsenault, who heads the LRYP’s steering committee.

Arsenault, who lives in Alton and works for Edward Jones Investments, says that the goal “is to have a local organization where you can know, like and trust the other members. We are truly about being a network, and not just another networking group.’’

He says that LRYP is working to create a welcoming atmosphere for young professionals who are new to the area and holds monthly social gatherings, like a recent cook-out and dodge ball tournament at Opechee Park, as well as enrichment and fundraising activities.

Nicole Hogan says the group has been a big help to her since she returned to New Hampshire last fall after spending 10 years living and working in the midwest. She runs her own business, Creative Marketing Guru, which provides marketing and graphic design services to small businesses.

“Pretty much everyone I know I met through this group. I love it. I’ve met a lot of great new people,’’ says Hogan, who says that it’s also been good for her business as her contacts have brought her five new clients in recent months.

Hogan, who grew up in Strafford, says that when she graduated from high school, “I just wanted to get out of the state. But I always knew I wanted to come back after seeing and exploring some of the rest of the world.’’

Tiffany Benton, who is marketing director for Laconia Savings Bank, says that she had the same feeling about New Hampshire when she graduated from Plymouth High School.

“I wouldn’t even apply to a college in New Hampshire and ended up going to the University of North Carolina. But I came back and finished college at Plymouth State University and found a great opportunity right here in the Lakes Region,’’ says Benton.

She found out about the young professionals group through a coworker at the bank, Tania Baert, and says that it’s been a big help to her.

“I still live in Campton and the group has been a great venue to meet people in the Lakes Region. It’s all about building connections and keeping them.

The Lakes Region has so much to offer. I hope to be able to stay here,’’ says Benton.

Baert, who works as a commercial lender at Laconia Savings Bank, says that young professionals group is working to raise awareness that there are great career opportunities in New Hampshire and also provide learning opportunities for it’s members.

She said that in September there will be program

with Linked In expert who will explain how to make the best use of the social networking program.

Baert has worked at the bank since 2001, right out of high school, and said that she is currently work-

ing on a degree in finance with her costs covered by a reimbursement program for bank employees.

Justin West, lead web page designer for Mainstay Technologies in Laconia, is active in both the Manchester and Lakes Region young professionals groups.

He is one of the New Hampshire college graduates who decided to make a career close to home and says that he is glad that he did.

“I’ve worked with several high tech companies started by people who grew up in New Hampshire.

There’s some pretty amazing stuff going on right here.’’ says West, who grew up in Dunbarton and attended NHTI before earning a degree at UNH Manchester.

He says that most of the employees at Mainstay, which was started by Ryan Barton, a Lakes Region native, are under 30 and that he thinks the young professional groups will help reverse the “brain drain’’ which he says is hurting the state.

“We’ve got more work than we can handle at Mainstay. We need people with HTML and search engine optimization skills and they’re hard to find,’’ says West. see next page

PICKUP from page 2 The pickup was the second vehicle hauled away from the home in Stewartstown, a community of 800 residents. Police last week impounded a red pickup truck that neighbors say was driven by Kevin Mullaney, who had moved in with the family.

Mullaney and Celina’s stepfather, Wendell Noyes, have previously run afoul of the law. Mullaney was charged in a string of car thefts in 2007, and Noyes was arrested in 2003 for breaking into an ex-girlfriend’s home and threatening to throw her down a flight of stairs, according to court documents.

Wendell Noyes was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital after the 2003 incident, and an order signed by a probate judge indicated he suffered from paranoid schizophrenia.

Mullaney pleaded guilty to stealing five cars and trucks in 2007 and was sentenced to 1 1/2 to 3 years in prison and a consecutive term of four months in jail.

Brady declined to say whether Wendell Noyes was staying with Louisa’s family. Noyes initially spoke from preceding page LRYP will be joined by young professional groups from Concord and the Plymouth area for a fundraising Schmooze Cruise aboard the cruise ship Mount Washington on Thursday.

A message left with one of Mullaney’s family members wasn’t returned.

Friends close to Louisa Noyes say Mullaney, 23, is the son of a former boyfriend and moved into the Noyes’ home about a year ago, joining Wendell and Louisa Noyes and her children, Celina and her older sister, Kayla.

Brady, the family friend, described Louisa Noyes as a devoted mother who is devastated by her daughter’s death.

“Both her girls are everything to her,” Brady said.

“She’s always put their needs before hers. But they were everything to each other.”

At the peak of the search for Celina, more than 100 federal, state and local law enforcement officers were involved. Divers found Celina’s body near a hydroelectric dam that spans the river between Stewartstown and Canaan, Vt.

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — Rent-A-Center, which has operated in the city for the past two decades, is moving from its location on Union Avenue at Busy Corner to Main Street, leasing a portion of the space next door to Bootlegger’s recently vacated by the Laconia Antiques Center, which moved across the street.

Kevin Sullivan, the landlord and leasing agent, said that Rent-A-Center has taken 4,500-squarefeet of the Melnick’s Building, facing Main Street, which leaves 3,300 square feet overlooking Pleasant Street for lease. “I’m pleased,” he said. “Two units are easier to fill than one.”

Sullivan said that the move increased Rent-ACenter’s floor space by 1,500-square-feet and provided more abundant and convenient parking. “The

footprint fits their corporate ideal,” he said. “It’s at an intersection, there is plenty of glass and 40 feet of glassed frontage on a main thoroughfare.”

Headquartered in Plano, Texas, the Rent-A-Center brand was originated in Wichita, Kansas in 1973 by Thomas Devlin, a former employee of Mr. T’s Rental, the nation’s first rent-to-own enterprise.

The company operates 3,007 outlets in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico and claims 38-percent of the national rent-to-own market. It’s subsidiaries include 41 retail installment stores in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota , Color-Tyme, Inc., with 210 stores in 33 states, and Rent-A-Center Corporate Leasing, which provides firms with furnishings for short-term employees.

In 2009, Rent-A-Center ranked 706th among Fortune Magazine’s 1000 American corporations.

COOPER from page 2 Marla Cooper was their source.

“It is an unsolved crime and we are obligated to address that if new, credible information comes to us,” Gutt said.

Marla Cooper, whose comments were first reported by ABC News, said she recalled two of her uncles, including an uncle she knew as “L.D.,” plotting something “underhanded” during a visit to her grandmother’s house in Sisters, Ore., during the Thanksgiving holiday in 1971.

“I knew they weren’t shooting straight with me when they were teasing me and telling me they were going turkey hunting,” she told the AP. “I was a witness to them returning from their socalled turkey hunt early the next morning ... when my uncle L.D. was very injured and heard them telling my father that they had hijacked an airplane,” she said.

Over the years, Marla Cooper said she never gave much thought to the incident until she pieced together her memories with comments made first by her father, shortly before his death in 1995, and later her mother two years ago.

After her mother’s comments spurred her memory, Marla Cooper said she looked up the story of D.B. Cooper and “over the next few days, I was just flooded with memories of what happened.”

She said she contacted the FBI after she “was certain that what I was remembering were real memories and not imagined.” When agents didn’t immediately follow up, she spoke with a retired law enforcement agent who later talked to federal investigators.

On Nov. 24, 1971, a man who gave his name as Dan Cooper claimed shortly after takeoff in Portland, Ore., that he had a bomb, leading the flight crew of the Northwest Orient plane to land in Seattle. Passengers were exchanged for parachutes and

ransom money.

The flight then took off for Mexico with the suspect and flight crew on board. The hijacker parachuted from the plane after dark as it flew south, apparently over a rugged, wooded region about 100 miles from Marla Cooper’s grandmother’s home.

The story has captured the imagination of amateur sleuths for decades in part because it has all the elements of a classic tale, including a hero who is perceived as a Robin Hood-type character, said Gray, whose book “Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper” comes out this month.

“We all want to believe in heroes, even if they’re bad guys,” Gray said.

A generic looking sketch released by the FBI shortly after the hijacking only added to the media frenzy, Gray said.

“That sketch became just a blank portrait for people to fill in with their own fears, suspicions and hunches, and this phenomenon emerged,” he said.

But without something more than the memories of an 8-year-old girl, Gray said he remains skeptical Lynn Doyle Cooper is actually D.B. Cooper. He said the FBI’s case file is littered with names of dozens of people who suspected a relative might be the infamous hijacker.

“It’s unclear what separates Uncle L.D. from this lot,” he said.

Seattle-based FBI case agent Larry Carr was tasked with reigniting the case five years ago and the agency posted a “D.B. Cooper Redux” on its site in 2007, urging the public to help solve the enduring mystery.

The FBI released photos of a black J.C. Penney tie the hijacker wore and some of the stolen $20 bills found by a young boy in 1980 along the banks of the Columbia River. In the FBI’s recounting, it quoted Carr as saying he thought it was likely that Cooper see next page

Polygamist leader opens his defense with 30-minute speech

Grab a straw

What looks like a hummingbird gathering nectar from pink petunias is actually a moth. The hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe) is usually seen at dusk. This one was photographed in the early afternoon. The hummingbird moths feed on flowers much like a hummingbird but instead of having a beak and tongue to lap the nectar it has little straws called proboscis to sip it. (Gordon King photo)

A year later, many of rescued Chilean miners are unemployed

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — One of the myths surrounding the 33 miners who were so dramatically rescued after being trapped for 69 days deep inside a Chilean copper mine is that they’re all millionaires and no longer need to work.

The truth: nearly half the men have been unemployed since their mine collapsed one year ago Friday, and just one, the flamboyant Mario Sepulveda, has managed to live well off the fame. Most have signed up to give motivational speeches. Four, so far, have gone back underground to pound rock for a living.

“Los 33” have filed negligence lawsuits demand-

ing $10 million from the bankrupt mine’s owners and $17 million from the government for failing to enforce safety regulations, but years remain before any payout.

Despite rumors that miners got rich off media interviews, most got only paid trips, hotel stays and the kinds of gifts that don’t put food on tables.

Neither did they profit from the books written about them so far. Only recently did they finally reach a deal with a Hollywood agent for an authorized book and movie, but they have yet to see any money from that, either. see next page

from preceding page didn’t survive the jump.

But Carr still sought the public’s help.

“Maybe a hydrologist can use the latest technology to trace the $5,800 in ransom money found in 1980 to where Cooper landed upstream,” Carr said.

“Or maybe someone just remembers that odd uncle.”

The FBI said a new lead came to the bureau after a tipster initially discussed the case with a retired law enforcement officer, who then contacted the agency.

Gutt said only after the FBI contacted the tipster directly did the person speak with investigators.

The lead focuses on a suspect who died more than 10 years ago.

Marla Cooper said her uncle died in 1999 but wouldn’t say where he lived before his death.

She said her mother recently provided investigators with a guitar strap belonging to her uncle to be tested for fingerprints.

Investigators have tested a guitar strap from the suspect who is the subject of the new lead, Gutt said Wednesday, but found it wasn’t suitable for fingerprint analysis. They are now working with family members to identify other items that can be analyzed.

But the FBI doesn’t have a timeframe for how long it will take to vet the lead, which is something they’ve known about for more than a year, he said.

SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs gave a delayed opening statement about religious persecution Wednesday and dramatically slowed down his trial, where he is defending himself on charges of sexually abusing underage girls.

His surprise 30-minute statement followed prosecutors resting their case against him, after they played an audiotape of what they said was him assaulting a 12-year-old he had taken as a “spiritual wife.”

Jeffs, the ecclesiastical head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, evoked images of the civil rights movement and mentioned former Mormon leader Joseph Smith Jr. in his statement He also asked the jury to remember constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.

His sect believes polygamy brings exaltation in heaven. The church’s 10,000 members see Jeffs as a prophet who speaks for God on Earth.

After his statement, which attorneys have the option to make when they begin presenting their cases, he called one of his church’s members to testify. JD Roundy read from the Book of Mormon and then answered questions about the church’s beliefs, with Jeffs pausing for a few minutes after each answer before asking another question.

Jeffs’ trial had been going at breakneck speed, with prosecutors presenting witness after witness while Jeffs largely sat silent.

Jeffs is accused of sexually assaulting two girls, the 12-year-old and a 15-year-old. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 119 years to life in prison.

Prosecutors called 22 witnesses over five days, but neither of the alleged victims participated in the case.

On Tuesday, prosecutors played two tapes of Jeffs instructing the older girl, as well as several women, on how to please him sexually — and thus please God. Forensic experts have testified that DNA shows Jeffs fathered a child with the 15-year-old in October 2005.

The recordings were seized by police following an April 2008 raid on Yearning For Zion, a church compound in remote Eldorado, Texas, about 45 miles south of San Angelo. More than 400 children were placed into protective custody amid allegations that girls were being forced into polygamist marriages.

The anonymous call for help that sparked the raid turned out to be a hoax, and the children were returned to their families, but images of FLDS women wearing frontier-style dresses and hairdos out of the 19th century had made headlines nationwide.

Nick Hanna, a Texas Ranger involved in the 2008 raid, said Wednesday’s recording was made on Aug. 7, 2006, at the compound and held on a thumb drive recovered when Jeffs was arrested after a traffic stop along a Nevada highway in August 2006. An electronic copy was also found at Yearning For Zion.

Played in court, it was difficult to decipher, but Jeffs’ and a female voice are heard. He says, “I perform this service in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen,” then mentions the alleged victim by name. When she says something, he responds, “don’t talk while praying.” Several minutes of heavy breathing followed.

The jury wore headphones to better hear the

Anthony won’t have to return to Florida right away

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony can continue her undercover life for now, after a judge ruled Wednesday she does not have to immediately return to Florida to start serving her probation for check fraud.

A hearing on her probation was set for Friday, Judge Belvin Perry said. Anthony won’t have to show up for that either.

A different judge ordered Anthony to report to Florida on Thursday for her probation, but the judge later recused himself and turned the case over to Perry, who presided over Anthony’s murder trial.

Anthony has been out of the public eye since she was acquitted last month in the death of her 2-yearold daughter, Caylee. The jury’s decision angered many people online and elsewhere, and threats were made on Anthony’s life. She vanished after leaving jail July 17.

Anthony’s attorneys said local authorities would have to provide security if she was forced to return.

To back up that claim, they included a flyer in their arguments that showed a doctored photo of Anthony with a bullet mark on her forehead. Underneath the photo reads in part: “With a forehead that big, the headshot will be easier.”

Anthony was convicted of lying to detectives but released because of time served.

Judge Stan Strickland sentenced Anthony in January 2010 to probation after she pleaded guilty to

using checks stolen from a friend. The state Department of Corrections had interpreted the sentence to mean that Anthony could serve the probation while she was in jail awaiting trial, but Strickland said last week he intended the probation to be served after her release.

On Monday, Strickland signed a “corrected” version of Anthony’s probation order to make clear she was supposed to start the one-year term after her release from jail. Strickland recused himself Wednesday without giving a reason, although defense attorneys accused him of showing prejudice against Anthony in television interviews he gave after her murder trial.

Strickland said he was “shocked” by the verdict in a July interview with cable television host Nancy Grace, a chief Anthony critic who gave her the moniker “Tot mom.” In another interview with Orlando television station WESH, Strickland said jurors may not have understood that “circumstantial evidence is evidence.”

“There are very seldom cameras running at the time somebody kills somebody or a child is abused,” he said.

In a motion filed Tuesday, Anthony’s defense attorneys said she had already served her probation. They also said Florida law stipulates the judge cannot amend his sentence more than 60 days after it was signed.

LEE, N.H. (AP) — Police say a man involved in a car crash in Lee fatally shot himself after the accident.

Police say they responded to reports of a head-on accident on Route 125 at about 9 p.m. on Tuesday While on their way, officers were told that one of the drivers had pulled a shotgun from his vehicle, ran to a nearby business and shot himself. The med-

ical examiner pronounced him dead at the scene.

Foster’s Daily Democrat reports that the other driver fled when he saw the man with the gun but suffered only minor injuries and was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

No names were released and the crash and death remain under investigation.

from preceding page A year after they were buried alive by a mine collapse a half-mile below the surface, the remarkable unity that many credited with helping them survive has fallen victim to misunderstandings over fame and money. Only some plan to join Chile’s president, Sebastian Pinera, in Copiapo and at the San Jose Mine on Friday for an anniversary mass and museum inauguration. Sepulveda is among those who want no part of the ceremonies.

All have been hoping that Pinera announce lifelong pensions of about $430 a month for the 33.

The government seems willing to pay, but the exact amount has been under negotiation for some time now, several miners told The Associated Press.

Many have gotten by until now on the philanthropy of an eccentric millionaire and Chilean mine owner, Leonardo Farkas, who wrote them checks for 5 million pesos (about $10,950), threw them a lavish party and gave each a motorcycle. Farkas then doubled the amount for a miner whose baby was born while he was trapped down below, and another who skipped his baby’s birth to attend the party.

Shift foreman Luis Urzua, who kept the men unified when nearly all hope was lost, told the AP that he’s saddened by critics of the miners’ lawsuits, who say they should simply be grateful they were rescued.

“We’re very content, very grateful to the government and the president for what they did. We filed

this lawsuit so that people understand that everyone has the right to sue when things aren’t being done correctly,” Urzua said.

Many Chileans don’t distinguish between government agencies and the administration of Pinera, which spent as much as $20 million on the rescue only to see his approval ratings drop from 60 percent at their peak to 30 percent today, the lowest of any Chilean president since the nation recovered its democracy in 1990, according to Adimark’s monthly tracking poll.

Housewife Cecilia Cruz, for example, told the AP that “the miners are a bunch of ingrates, after all the money the government spent rescuing them.”

Pinera has been beset by striking miners, students, teachers, earthquake and tsunami survivors, Mapuche Indians and others marching against his government. While in Copiapo on Friday, he’ll also likely face the 240 other San Jose Mine workers who escaped the collapse only to lose their jobs when the mine closed. Many are still unemployed and have only received 40 percent of their severances.

The government has resisted calls to make payments on behalf of the bankrupt mining company, fearful of a precedent that could sap profits from the entire industry, Chile’s main revenue source. But the state-owned National Mining Company did lend $1.2 million this week to pay the mine owners’ debts to the workers.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be focused on the basics -- like health, well-being and personal security. Finances come into the equation, as well. You’ll find peace in doing a quick inventory.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The one who has your heart often controls your schedule, too. Sometimes it’s very difficult to look that person in the face and tell him no. But you may have to do exactly that today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Love and belonging will feel more important than usual to you now, and rightly so. Feeling like you are a part of the group will help you develop your skills and talents.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). All facts seem to point to the same conclusion. But that doesn’t make the conclusion correct. Look at each fact separately to get a more accurate view.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your needs may seem well defined because you know exactly what they are. However, a loved one is still baffled. If you want to be fulfilled, you’ll have to spell it out.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 4).

You’ll answer a call this month, and as a result, a relationship takes a leap forward. Dealing with men in general will be a forte of yours, and you’ll bond for fun and profit in September. You’ll solve a mystery in November. In January and May, you’ll have much to celebrate with a loved one. You’ll win a contest in June. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 46, 3, 14, 39 and 11.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You would rather make an error because you didn’t yet have all of the information than make an error because you didn’t utilize the information you already had.

Be thorough. Use a checklist.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your aim is ambitious. That is what makes it so compelling to you and others. So don’t let the odds diminish you. This is possible. Someone will win at this, and it could be you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Are you growing or merely coping? You make so much happen in a day (and so much happens to you, as well) that you can’t help but wonder when the sun is setting how it’s all adding up.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You realize that everyone needs something, and you are quick to figure out how people can help each other. You may not be able to solve your own problem, but you’ll solve someone else’s. The karma will come full circle later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When there is much evidence to support a certain theory, something called “diagnosis momentum” can happen, and it becomes difficult to reach any conclusion other than the obvious one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Resist the urge to make a big deal about your mistakes. It will make a funny story later, but it’s too soon for all of that. Here’s a motto to live by under the current stars: Gloss over and move on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your love life doesn’t have to be a roller coaster or even an elevator. Today proves that it can be a walk in the park -- an even, predictable and lovely excursion.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Aug. 4, the 216th day of 2011. There are 149 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 4, 1735, a jury found John Peter Zenger of the New York Weekly Journal not guilty of committing seditious libel against the colonial governor of New York, William Cosby.

On this date: In 1790, the Coast Guard had its beginnings as the Revenue Cutter Service.

In 1830, plans for the city of Chicago were laid out.

In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were axed to death in their home in Fall River, Mass. Lizzie Borden, Andrew’s daughter from a previous marriage, was accused of the killings, but acquitted at trial.

In 1916, the United States reached agreement with Denmark to purchase the Danish Virgin Islands for $25 million.

In 1936, Jesse Owens of the U.S. won the second of his four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics as he prevailed in the long jump over German Luz Long, who was the first to congratulate him.

In 1944, 15-year-old diarist Anne Frank was arrested with her sister, parents and four others by the Gestapo after hiding for two years inside a building in Amsterdam.

(Anne died the following year at BergenBelsen.)

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed a measure establishing the Department of Energy.

In 1991, the Greek luxury liner Oceanos sank in heavy seas off South Africa’s southeast coast; all 402 passengers and 179 crew members survived.

One year ago: BP PLC reported the broken well head at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico was plugged up with mud; President Barack Obama said the battle to contain one of the world’s worst oil spills was “finally close to coming to an end.”

Today’s Birthdays: Journalist Helen Thomas is 91. Singer Frankie Ford is 72.

Actress-singer Tina Cole is 68. Actorcomedian Richard Belzer is 67. Football Hall-of-Famer John Riggins is 62. Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is 56.

Actress Lauren Tom is 52. President Barack Obama is 50. Retired MLB All-Star pitcher Roger Clemens is 49. Actress Crystal Chappell is 46. Author Dennis Lehane is 46. Rock musician Rob Cieka (Boo Radleys) is 43.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 4, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am in my early 50s and have been married for 34 years. My husband is the only man I have ever been with.

For years, I put up with his cheating because I was concerned about my children and our financial future. Now the kids are grown and can take care of themselves.

My husband has been with his current lover for almost three years. Initially, I let it go, but then he started treating me even worse than before. He would get angry if I went anywhere, but would never join me, so I stopped going out. Then he cut me off from any access to our money. I now have to ask him for whatever I need, and he gets to decide if I can have it or not. He also told me I can no longer open the mail.

I started to check up on him and keep track of his phone calls. It took a while, but I was finally able to get undeniable proof of his affair. This is the part I can’t deal with: His lover is his first cousin. I’m so tired of living like this. I think I know what to do, but would like an objective opinion. I have no friends to ask, so please help me. -- Suffering in the South Dear Suffering: Aside from the history of marital infidelity, your husband is also guilty of abuse. Isolating you and controlling all the household money are key indicators. Your children are grown. It’s time to get out of this mess of a marriage.

Start by documenting his treatment of you. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233), and then talk to a lawyer.

Dear Annie: I am a 17-year-old girl, and I think there might be something wrong with me. My moods change frequently, sometimes at the drop of a hat. I feel lonely a lot, and little things can drop me into a depression.

Recently, I’ve felt depressed again and was wondering what I’m supposed to do. I’ve never told my parents about this. I once attempted to tell my friends, but they brushed off my pain and focused on their own problems.

I don’t know if I should tell my parents. I don’t want them to think I’m crazy or trying to get attention. What do I do?

-- Detroit, Mich.

Dear Detroit: A certain amount of moodiness in teenagers can be attributed to hormonal changes, which are common and no cause for alarm. However, when mood swings lead to severe depression, it can be a problem. Please talk to your parents. Ask them to make an appointment for you to see your doctor and discuss your concerns and rule out any serious issues. You also can talk to your school counselor or nurse when classes start up again.

Dear Annie: I disagree with your response to “Numb in Nevada,” whose son and daughter-in-law cut off contact with the grandchild. “Numb” sounds like a woman with a sense of entitlement.

Without the slightest knowledge of what the writer’s wrongdoings were or of the conditions placed on reconciliation, you sided with the letter writer. Maybe the son finally has developed some “spine” and is standing up to a mother who clearly feels her economic clout entitles her to dominate the daughter-in-law. The whole incident was started because “Numb” ignored a clearly expressed wish that she not show up at the hospital. She sounds like the mother-in-law from hell. -- F.G. Dear F.G.: She may be, but she still doesn’t deserve to be cut off from her son and grandchild. The son was the one who invited Mom to see the baby. Mom did not, in fact, see the girlfriend at all or interfere with the bonding process (the original requirement), so there was no reason for such an extreme reaction. Grandparents sometimes overstep and need to accept boundaries. But the boundaries should be fair and should not deprive the grandchild of a family member’s love.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 4, 2011— Page 27

Maine has 2nd straight year of mild red tide PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine and the rest of New England have had a second straight year of mild red tide outbreaks, bringing a sigh of relief to the clamming industry following two consecutive years of widespread clam flat closures because of red tide.

Clam diggers were hurt in 2008 and 2009 when red tide outbreaks resulted in extended closures of hundreds of miles of clam flats in Maine.

But only small numbers of clam flats have been shut down this summer because of red tide, said Darcie Couture of the Department of Marine Resources. The flats that were closed were shut down for relatively short periods, and the toxin levels of the red tide blooms didn’t reach unusually high levels as seen in past years.

“I always expect the worst and heave a sigh of relief when it doesn’t happen. I think we’ve dodged the bullet,” said Jim Markos, general manager of Maine Shellfish Co. in Ellsworth.

Clam and mussel harvesters have also been helped by the dry weather, with few flats being shut down because of bacterial pollution caused by runoff from rainstorms.

“The timing of this has been nice considering the economy,” said Couture, who is director of the DMR’s biotoxin monitoring program. “The clam diggers didn’t suffer a double whammy of a natural disaster on top of everything else.”

Red tide is caused by naturally occurring algae that produce a toxin shellfish absorb as they feed.

Red tide taints clams and mussels, making them unsafe for people to eat, but poses no risk to those who eat fish, lobster, scallops and shrimp.

Officials close clam flats when toxicity levels get too high. When large numbers of flats are closed for prolonged periods, it can lead to clam shortages and drive up prices for steamers and fried clams.

Scientists this year predicted a moderate red tide season, said Don Anderson, a senior scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Falmouth, Mass., who heads the Gulf of Maine Toxicity Research Program.
