Laconia’s Regan Flaherty (30) is greeted at home plate after his 3-run homer in the fifth inning gave the Muskrats a 4-run lead in game two of their Eastern Division playoff series with regular season champion Newport. The Gulls came back to tie the game in the ninth but Laconia’s Bijan Rademacher later doubled home the winning run.

Laconia advances to Eastern Division title series with 8-7 walk-off win LACONIA — Bijan Rademacher delivered the biggest hit in the two-year history of the Muskrats baseball club Thursday night — a ninth inning double — and Laconia gave the New England Collegiate Baseball League’s best regular season team the rest of the summer off. Laconia beat visiting Newport 8-7 at

Robbie Mills Field to take a best of three series, two games to none.

The Muskrats will now wait the winner of the other Eastern Division semi-final series. Sanford and North Shore are knotted a one game each and the winner of Friday night’s rubber game will host Laconia for game one of the Division Champi-

onship Series on Saturday night.

Game two will be back in Laconia on Sunday night at 6:05.

Laconia took a 7-5 lead into the ninth inning last night but the Gulls tied the game off reliever William Prince when Robbie Ott blasted a two run homer. see MUSKraTS page 15

CONCORD(AP) — Authorities were shutting down the elementary school command station that was once teeming with investigators searching for a missing 11-yearold girl.

Celina Cass’ body was pulled from the Connecticut River on Monday, nearly a week after she disappeared from her Stewartstown home. An autopsy failed to pin down the cause of her death and toxicology tests are pending.

At the height of the search, more than 100 state and federal investigators were headquartered at the Stewartstown Community School, their ranks exceeding the 85 students who typically attend the school. The parking lot was packed with police cruisers, crime scene vans and high-tech communication equipment.

The investigation into Celina’s death is “ongoing and active,” Senior see CELINA page 8

Dow falls 512 points in steepest decline since ‘08 NEW YORK (AP) — Gripped by fear of a new recession, the stock market suffered its worst day Thursday since the financial crisis in the fall of 2008. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 500 points, its ninth-steepest decline.

The sell-off wiped out the Dow’s remaining gains for 2011. It put the Dow and broader stock indexes into what investors call a correction — down 10 percent from their highs in the spring.

“We are continuing to be bombarded by worries about the global economy,” said

Bill Stone, the chief investment strategist for PNC Financial.

Across the financial markets, the day was reminiscent of the wild swings that defined the financial crisis in September and October three years ago. Gold prices briefly hit a record high. Oil fell even more than stocks — 6 percent, or $5.30 a barrel.

And frightened investors were so desperate to get into some government bonds that they were willing accept almost no return on their money.

It was the most alarming day yet in the

almost uninterrupted selling that has swept Wall Street for two weeks. The Dow has lost more than 1,300 points, or 10.5 percent. By one broad measure kept by Dow Jones, almost $1.9 trillion in market value has disappeared.

For the day, the Dow closed down 512.76 points, at 11,383.68. It was the steepest point decline since Dec. 1, 2008.

Thursday’s decline was the ninth-worst by points for the Dow. In percentage terms, the decline of 4.3 percent does not rank see STOCKS page 8

SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) — A Texas jury convicted polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs of child sexual assault on Thursday, in a case stemming from two young followers he took as brides in what his church calls “spiritual marriages.”

The head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints stood stone-faced as the verdict was read. Jeffs, who acted as his own attorney, stood mostly mute for his closing argument, staring at

the floor, for all but a few seconds of the half hour he was allotted.

At one point he mumbled, “I am at peace,” and said no more. The only noise in the courtroom was the creaking of wooden benches brimming with spectators.

Jeffs, 55, had claimed his religious rights were being trampled on and that God would seek revenge if the trial continued.

He now faces up to life in prison. The sentencing phase of the trial began after the

verdict was announced, and Texas’ attorney general said it could take three days.

Prosecutors used DNA evidence to show Jeffs fathered a child with a 15-year-old girl and played an audio recording of what they said was him sexually assaulting a 12-yearold. They also played audio recordings in which Jeffs was heard instructing young women on how to please him sexually.

Democrats label Speaker O’Brien a hypocrite on student voting issue

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party called Republican House Speaker Bill O’Brien a hypocrite Thursday for trying to ban out-of-state college students from voting in New Hampshire while his son voted in two states.

According to the Sun-Journal in Lewiston, Maine, Brendan O’Brien registered to vote in Maine in 2009 and ran for state representative as a Republican placeholder candidate in the spring of 2010, when he was a student at Bates College. In November, he voted in Mont Vernon, N.H., where his father was on the ballot.

Election officials in both Mont Vernon — who include the speaker’s wife — and Lewiston say his son remains registered to vote in their communities, even though states are supposed to notify each other when someone switches.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office is looking into how that happened, and the state Democratic Party on Thursday filed a right-to-know request with the New Hampshire secretary of state seeking information about O’Brien’s son’s registration. But party chairman Ray Buckley said those details aren’t as important as the

Manchester police say woman stole bicycle at gunpoint MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Manchester police say a 40-yearold woman showed a handgun while stealing a bicycle from a 14-year-old girl in the New Hampshire city.

Police say that at about 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday the girl was riding a visiting friend’s bike when she was approached by a neighbor who accused the girl of stealing the bike from her daughter.

Witnesses told police that after the girl initially refused to surrender the bike, the woman pointed a small handgun at the girl’s neck.

The woman then allegedly took the bike to her apartment.

Police charged Kelley Feeley of Manchester with robbery. When police searched Feeley’s apartment they seized several firearms.

larger contradiction between O’Brien’s comments on student voting and his son’s actions.

“This isn’t really about Mrs. O’Brien or Brendan, it’s about O’Brien’s sheer hypocrisy,” he said.

Earlier this year, O’Brien supported an unsuccessful bill that would have barred students from voting in New Hampshire college towns unless they lived there before enrolling, saying he worried that the state, with its lax definition of residency and sameday voter registration, was creating an environment in which people could claim residency in multiple

locations. In remarks to a conservative group in Rochester in January, he complained about the high number of same-day registrations in Plymouth, home to Plymouth State University.

“They are kids voting liberal, voting their feelings, with no life experience,” he said, according to Foster’s Daily Democrat.

O’Brien did not return calls seeking comment Thursday.

GILFORD — Diane Cooper, manager of the Laconia Airport, welcomed news that yesterday Congress reached a compromise to end the partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that brought three projects at the airfield to a standstill.

Cooper said that since last month, when Congress failed to reauthorize funding for the FAA, work to complete the first phase and begin the second phase of the master plan for the airport as well as to assess the condition of the runway came to a halt. She said that the contracts for the three projects were all let to local firms had an aggregate value of $300,000. Steven J. Smith and Associates, Inc. , an engineering company in Gilford is preparing the master plan and Dr. David Gress, a professor of civil engineering at the University of New Hampshire with expertise in materials, including asphalt, is assessing the runway.

Across the country, the deadlock left 4,000 FAA employees, among them 42 at the Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center in Nashua, and 70,000 construction workers idle, including those at a $16-million runway project at Nashua Municipal Airport.

Meanwhile, the federal government forfeited $30-million a day as airline ticket taxes were not collected.

The stalemate began when Congressman John Mica (R-Florida), the chairman of the House Transporta-

tion and Infrastructure Committee, announced that he would attach a rider to the funding bill to eliminate $16.5-million that subsidizes flights in and out of 13 rural airports. Senate Democrats balked and refused to adopt the House bill.

The compromise will extend the operating authority of the FAA until the middle of September and includes a provision eliminating the subsidies.

However, the House and Senate remain at loggerheads over authorizing long-term funding for the FAA , which has operated under a series of short-term extensions since 2007.

The Republican majority in the House seeks to repeal a rule recently approved by the National Mediation Board, which oversees labor relations in the airline and railway industries, that entitles employees to form a union by a simple majority of those voting. In the past, a majority of all eligible employees was required and those who did not cast ballots were counted as no votes. The Senate Democrats insist on upholding the new rule, which they claim puts airline and railroad employees on the same footing as their counterparts in other industries. .

The airline industry, especially Delta Air Lines, the largest carrier whose employees do not belong to a union, supports the House Republicans in seeking to repeal the rule.

Clarification: 1 additional Laconia Library trustee is appointed by the superintendent of schools An article in Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Sun about the makeup of the Board of Trustees of the Laconia Public Library failed to mention that the school superintendent, or his des-

ignee, is also an ex officio member of the board. The position is currently held by Lois Juris, a teacher at the Elm Street School.

ABUSE from page 2 members, is a radical offshoot of mainstream Mormonism and believes polygamy brings exaltation in heaven.

They see Jeffs as God’s spokesman on earth.

Police had raided the group’s remote West Texas ranch in April 2008, finding women dressed in frontier-style dresses and hairdos from the 19th century as well as seeing underage girls who were clearly pregnant. The call to an abuse hotline that spurred the raid turned out to be a hoax, and more than 400 children who had been placed in protective custody were eventually returned to their families.

But authorities brought charges against several men from the group, with Jeffs by far the highest-profile defendant.

As the sentencing phase began, prosecutors told jurors they will present evidence that Jeffs had 78 wives, in addition to his legal spouse, and that 24 of them were under the age of 17. Lead prosecutor Eric Nichols also said he would show that Jeffs either witnessed or performed hundreds of polygamist marriages, including 67 church marriages involving underage girls.

Jeffs stood up and made several incoherent objections to what was being said.

“I object to anything pertaining to a religious manner,” he said at one point.

“A constitutional guarantee involving things sacred must be invoked.”

Prosecutors have relied heavily on information seized from the compound, which is in the town of Eldorado, 45 miles south of San Angelo, and features a four-story temple of white limestone.

Much of the material was discovered in a vault at the end of a secret passageway in the temple and another vault in an annex building.

“You might have asked yourselves,” Nichols told jurors during closing arguments, “a lot of people may ask, why would someone record sex? ...

This individual considers himself to be the prophet. Everything he did, hour after hour, he was required to keep a record of that.”

On one of the tapes played at the trial, Jeffs made a reference to “drawing close” or “being close,” which authorities testified is how church members refer to sex. Two female voices said “OK.” see next page

Entrepreneurial spirit brings Artemis Event Center to old Franklin mill building

always loved music and the music scene,” he said.

The Mass Investment Group designated a 3,000 square foot section of the building, which, after renovation, features two stages, a kitchen and restrooms.

Gorelik and his partners have developed a relationship with four music promoters and asked them to book shows featuring a variety of genres and artists.

The space is rated to accomodate 400 people, and if that limit becomes restrictive, Gorelik said there’s plenty of room to expand.

“There is nothing like this for miles,” he said.

Artemis Event Center held a grand opening celebration during the second weekend in July. Gore-

lik wanted to get the word out about Artemis and so the center saw 30 bands perform throughout the weekend and a total of 400 people show up to watch them. “No one knows what Artemis is but we got 400 people,” he said.

Gorelik said the center will host open mic nights on Thursdays and will seek to attract nationally-touring artists of all genres, booking shows throughout the year. Admission to the center will be affordable, said Gorelik, in the $5 to $10 range.

At those prices, Gorelik acknowledged that he and his partners won’t get rich off of Artemis. So, why do it? He answered, “Why not? It’s fun, it gives people something to do. We want to bring more people into downtown. It’s just a start, it’s just a spark.”

Walking through downtown Franklin, Gorelik said, he can’t help but notice a languid business scene. His vision for Artemis is a place that will attract people to Franklin, give them a reason to come downtown for an evening during which they’ll stop somewhere for dinner before or after a performance. Perhaps that increase in activity will inspire other investors or developers to see an opportunity in Franklin.

“I think whoever is going to come out will have a good time,” Gorelik said. If he can succeed in attracting more people into the city, he said, “It’s going to make an impact on downtown... It’s going to lift up some people.”

from preceding page “A good wife is trained for her husband and follows the spirit of peace,” Jeffs was heard saying.

Another audio tape included Jeffs and the younger girl from a recording made in August 2006 at the Texas compound, according to testimony from Nick Hanna, a Texas Ranger involved in the 2008 raid.

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.

Jeffs represented himself after firing seven attorneys in the six months leading to the trial.

FRANKLIN — Four years ago, a real estate investment group acquired a 150 year-old, 186,600 square-foot mill building at 20 Canal Street in the downtown area here. The Mass Investment Group, explained founder and co-owner Alex Gorelik, specializes in succeeding where others have failed, often by putting what he called their own “twist” on property development.

In the case of the Canal Street building, the twist has resulted in the creation of the Artemis Event Center, a space for art of any form to be presented.

So far, the space has hosted music – hip-hop, rock and dubstep – and as a gift to city and the region the center will present a free dance party on Saturday evening featuring the band Party Train. The party starts at 5:30 p.m.

The Mass Investment Group has its roots in 1989, when Gorelik and a friend left Russia as young men and landed in Massachusetts. Five years later, they managed to purchase a dilapidated rental propery, fixed it up, rented it out and used the proceeds to buy another distressed property. Now, the investment group owns real estate valued at multiple millions of dollars, mostly apartments, condos and commercial space, much of which is in New Hampshire.

The property at 20 Canal Street, Gorelik said, was sold by the last in a line of owners who failed to turn a profit in the building. “We are kind of making it work,” Gorelik said. They’ve cobbled together a business plan that includes leasing out some of the space and offering the largest heated car storage facility around.

“We started throwing ideas around,” said Gorelik, trying to figure out how to utilize the remaining space in the building. Since some of their tenants were bands looking for rehearsal space, the idea of an art and event center seemed to be an interesting idea and a new challenge for the management and investment company.

Obama will fight for the people. . . next time By gollies, America’s workaday majority of middle-class and poor people have a fighter on our side in Washington. Unfortunately, that fighter is Barack Obama.

On Sunday, he waved his white hankie of surrender in the debt ceiling battle, agreeing to a disastrous deal ruthlessly pushed by the loopiest of the tea party extremists in the Republican House. It slashes some nearly $1-trillion from national programs that ordinary Americans count on, puts Social Security and Medicare at risk, and promises to make our depressed economy, and even the deficit, worse.

Obama also cravenly conceded to the demand by GOP/tea party corporatists that those fortunate few at the tippy-top of our economy make no sacrifice whatsoever to the goal of deficit reduction. Taxdodging corporations, hedge-fund profiteers and the richest 1-percent of our nation’s plutocratic elite are allowed by this sorry deal to retain every dime of their subsidies, tax breaks and other federal giveaways.

Not to worry, though, for as our champ signed his abject capitulation into law on Tuesday, he said that stage two of the deficit reduction process will be better. The pampered and privileged few, he insisted, will also have to “chip in,” reassuring all who will be harmed by this week’s deal that he’ll be “fighting for” fundamental principles of fairness in the next one.

But we’ve all seen again and again that this guy “fights” by backing up and begging for compromise.

For example, even as he caved in last December to Republican demands that the ridiculous Bush tax cuts for the superrich be continued, he talked tough about fighting for fairness “next time.” When will next time be now?

I know a bit about fighting, having been a little guy growing up in a small Texas town where confrontations often popped up. I learned early on that you should never hit a man with glasses; you should hit him with something much heavier.

The heavy “something” that Obama has at his disposal is the fact that the American people are overwhelmingly on his side in this fight. The majority is sick and tired of paying the price for economic disasters caused by narcissistic greed of financial elites and corporate chieftains.

They’re ready to smack the moneyed powers — and the politicians who kowtow to them — right in their snouts.

So, Obama shouldn’t be playing

budgetary patty cake with John Boehner and Co. in the backrooms of Washington. Instead of negotiating over how much of FDR’s New Deal to throw out the window, he needs to FDR-up, get out of Washington and rally the majority to go after the greedheads and screwballs. If he’d lift his vision from budget numbers, he’d see that America’s great economic urgency is not the deficit, but creating good, middle-class jobs to get America moving again, moving upward — and moving together.

Today, we are a dangerously disunited society. Elite CEOs and big investors are grabbing all the gains, leaving the vast majority mired in recession and facing falling incomes.

Since the recession technically “ended” 18 months ago, corporate profits have zoomed, sopping up an unprecedented 88-percent of America’s economic growth. Meanwhile, only 1-percent of the growth that we all help to produce has gone to wages and salaries, which is the source of income for about 90-percent of us.

Yet those same CEOs say they won’t invest in new jobs or raise wages until consumers start buying again. That’s like saying, “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” Hello, the consumers CEOs are waiting on are the workers whose jobs and wages the CEOs won’t increase.

You see, despite the GOP’s ideological claptrap about corporate executives being “job creators,” it is ordinary Americans who actually create jobs by spending from their paychecks. People who are out of work do not tend to be — how shall I put this? — “robust consumers.”

Since consumer spending accounts for about 70-percent of our country’s economic growth (and, in so doing, creates America’s jobs), the dogma of deliberately destroying the purchasing power of middle-class wageearners is disastrous — like trying to cure a headache by chopping off your head.

This is why Obama needs to quit pampering the rich and fussing over budgets — and start launching a national, FDR-style jobs program that’ll immediately increase paychecks, perk up consumer spending and generate economic growth.

LETTERS In my opinion, Soulfest has become a lousy Gilford neighbor To the editor, In Gilford, if it’s August, it must be Soulfest.

In the past, Soulfest has been an invisible event, expect for those attending. The four-day gathering has, however, begun to encroach on our lives as loud, highly amplified music now appears necessary to convey spirituality. This occurs until 11 p.m.

Wednesday through Saturday night.

We live 1.75-miles from Gunstock and are forced to close up the house on these warm evenings in order to sleep.

This year brings a new benefit to residents — abortion protestors along Rte. 11-A at the entrance to Gunstock.

I have been in touch with the Town of Gilford, Gunstock, the Gunstock Commission, Belknap County and Soulfest. To their credit, Town Admin.

Scott Dunn, Gunstock’s Greg Goddard, the Belkanp County Sherrif’s Office and Soulfest’s Joel Strycharz have responded in a quick and profes-

sional manner.

Gunstock and Soulfest have gone on record in opposition to the protestor’s presence during the event and have asked them to leave.

As a resident who is negatively impacted by this event, I see the only course of action as opposing Soulfest’s return in 2012. I firmly believe in the organization’s, and the protestor’s, right to exist. Just don’t make me an unwilling participant.

In my opinion, Soulfest has become a lousy neighbor.

It should be noted that Gunstock is exempt from all town ordinances and is free to ignore, in particular, the noise ordinance, allowing disruptive music whenever they wish.

Will Gunstock also become a lousy neighbor as they advance future development plans?

I invite right-wingers to turn their attention to more local matters To the editor, It has been good to read letters by the left-wing party that are requiring the right-wing-nut party put facts to their rants and raving. I hope the day comes when Fox News dries up, so will their source of information as they don’t have a valid opinion of their own.

In reference to Steve Earle and his letters of hatred for Democrats, I have been reading his trash for years and not once has he expressed his opinion on the state of affairs locally. The right-wing party in N.H. got elected to cut spending, no new taxes, create jobs. While I agree with some of their spending cuts statewide, layoffs, hospitals complaining, no, not one job created. What no one seems to realize is property taxes will be on the rise in nearly every community in N.H. for their actions in the Statehouse.

I have attended my share of town meetings in Hill, N.H., as has Steve Earle. I have never seen him and any other of the right-wing party members ever speak of cutting local budgets of the waste they include. I speak up to cut the budgets, have had some success, got shouted out this past March.

I am working slowly to correct that and would certainly welcome some of Steve Earle’s advice on town matters if he has any conservative ideas on how to keep the town taxes in check.

The actions of Belmont selectman will be a interest of many when they publish the results of the public inquiry. I hope that the right-wing party of N.H. will center their attention on matters that pertain to the well being to the citizens of N.H. Henry Osmer Hill

LETTERS Were subsidizing day care so fat, lazy moms can sit & watch Oprah

I’m living proof that scarecrows won’t scare the geese away

To the editor, Kate Miller complains that our Republican Legislature has not been generous, as if the definition of generosity is “keeping them down on the farm”.

She complains that the Republican 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.” Anyone who has been reading the local papers over the past couple of years and noticed how every day brings a few more burglaries for drug money could see how well that program was “keeping troubled youth out of jail and away from the influence of drugs”. Giving teenagers methadone is not an act of generosity Kate, it’s an act of laziness. It does these kids no good.

She complains that the Republican 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”. She ignores the fact that only 4.2-percent of the “families” that were receiving this funding were “holding down jobs”. This was, in fact, just welfare — far more often just money going to fat, lazy mothers so they can ship their illegitimate kids off to day care at our expense while they sat at home smoking cigarettes and watching Oprah than it was going to families so they could hold down two jobs. Families that have two jobs really don’t need to ask the rest of us to pay for their child care — or at least those with an ounce of pride don’t. It takes a Republican to have the intelligence and courage, and the generosity, to recognize that this was no good for those kids, which is why most of them were ending up in the Children in Need of Services Program as they became teens.

She complains that their 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”. But Kate, what good is it to educate these kids for jobs that the previous Democratic legislatures had chased away?

Isn’t it the best thing to do for these kids to promote the creation of jobs?

If there are jobs, these kids can go to work and then, like I did, go back to night school with the money they are

To the editor, Hearing and understanding a bit about the “geese problem” in Hesky Park in Meredith, I’d like to point out that one idea, that putting up scarecrows may help in scaring away the geese, won’t work. I have had the opportunity to stand with a group of Veterans and others on Thursday evenings at the POW/MIA Awareness Vigils held in Hesky Park for the past 23 years and if these folks looking like myself don’t scare the geese away, nothing will. They still gather

EARNING (sorry for using that dirty word, Kate). And how has that funding been working out so far anyway?

Having educated kids robbing houses to get money to buy their drugs because they have no jobs seems no better to me than having uneducated kids doing it. No? If we are not creating jobs for them (real private sector jobs), aren’t we just educating them to be better burglars?

She complains that the budget cuts funding for our state’s hospitals and somehow shut off access to health care for countless New Hampshire “citizens”. I assume that she is using the Democratic definition of “citizens”, which includes illegal aliens.

But Kate, Obamacare will fix all that, won’t it? Didn’t Nancy, Harry and Obama just completely confiscate our health care system to make all these problems go away? Why should we continue dumping state money into a health care system that the feds are burying in money?

Kate, some day liberals are going to wake up and recognize that it was the Republicans who really cared for our kids and our underprivileged. We recognized that laziness and dependency just beget more laziness and dependency and that the best thing we can do for the lazy and dependent is help them break free of the cycle. By trying to teach them how to do for themselves, to incentivize them to do for themselves, we tried to turn them into productive members of society who can afford the finer things in life and can really enjoy them, knowing they EARNED them (there’s that bad word again). Democrats, on the other hand, have done nothing for decades except all they can to keep poor people lazy and dependent so that they would continue to vote Democrat every election. Whose being selfish Kate? And look where all that Democratic “generosity” has gotten us.

A wise man once said “A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse.” Sounds like the progressive agenda, no? Is that your idea of generosity Kate?

Allard showed true colors by labeling his opponents as ‘terrorists’ To the editor, I’d like to thank Ed Allard for finally showing us what kind of person he really is: a cruel self-centered, very small, angry person. He boldly calls from preceding page voters if they want to elect a library trustee from each ward or have them appointed by the City Council.

If the Council refuses to do this then a Charter amendment petition should be organized to get require number of signatures to place the petition on the November ballot. Time for a Change.

Republicans “terrorist” for having views different than him.

We live in a representative Republic which means, in his view, everyone who agrees with that “Cell of Republicans”, is a “terrorist”. It’s incredibly unfortunate that anyone who has recently run for public office, such as Mr. Allard, would have to be told how grossly inappropriate that statement is. I can’t imagine anyone applauding or somehow justifying that kind of statement. We should all be thanking our lucky stars that he is not an elected official representing the people.

STOCKS from page 2 among the worst. On Black Monday in 1987, for example, the Dow fell 22 percent.

Two weeks ago, investors appeared worried about the deadlocked negotiations in Washington over raising the ceiling on government debt. As soon as the ceiling was raised, investors focused on the economy, and the selling accelerated.

On Thursday, growing fear about the weakening U.S. economy was joined by concern in Europe that the troubled economies of Italy and Spain might need help from the European Union.

The European Union has already given financial assistance to Greece and Ireland, two countries that have struggled to pay their debts. A financial rescue package for Italy or Spain might be more than the group of countries can handle.

Traders also unloaded stocks before Friday’s release of the government’s unemployment report for July, which is expected to show weak job growth and perhaps a rise in the unemployment rate, which is 9.2 percent.

Together, they produced “a perfect storm of selling,” said Ryan Larson, head of U.S. equity trading for RBC Global Asset Management.

Until a week ago, Wall Street had mostly convinced itself that the U.S. economy would improve in the second half of the year. Gas prices were falling, and Japanese factories were resuming production after disruptions from the March earthquake.

Then one report after another began to show that the economy was much weaker than first thought.

Manufacturing is barely growing. The service sector, which covers about 90 percent of the American work force, is growing at the slowest rate in a

year and a half. People spent less in June than in May, the first decline since September 2009.

And the overall economy is expanding at the slowest pace since the end of the Great Recession. It grew at an annual rate of just 0.8 percent for the first six months of this year, raising the risk of another recession.

In an indication of how frightened investors are, Bank of New York Mellon said it would start charging large investors to hold their cash because they are depositing so much. The bank’s clients include pension funds and large investment houses that are selling stock and need to deposit the proceeds.

Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist for Janney Montgomery Scott, an investment firm in Philadelphia, said his clients saw the move from stocks into cash as “a parking lot to sort things out.”

“With the scars of 2008 still fresh,” he said, “some clients don’t want to miss the chance to pre-empt further damage should it come.”

Wells Fargo Advisers, a financial management company in St. Louis, said clients were more nervous.

“I wouldn’t say they’re totally panicking. But obviously nerves are rattled,” said Scott Marcouiller, chief technical market strategist there. “And I think that is simply because of the speed of the decline.”

Other market indicators reinforced the riskaverse mood. Gold, which is seen as a safe investment when the stock market is turbulent, set a record price, $1,684.90 an ounce, before falling to finish the day at $1,659. Adjusted for inflation, gold is still far below the record reached in 1980.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.42 percent, its lowest of the year, and the yield on

the 2-year Treasury note hit its lowest ever, 0.265 percent. Bond yields fall when demand for bonds increases.

The yield on the one-month Treasury bill fell to almost nothing — 0.008 percent. Investors were willing to accept paltry returns in exchange for holding investments they believed to be stable.

The sell-off was broad. All 10 industry groups in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell. Energy companies lost almost 7 percent, materials companies were down 6.6 percent, and industrial companies lost more than 5 percent.

For a time, Kraft Foods was the only stock to rise among the 30 that make up the Dow industrials.

Kraft announced Thursday that it would split in two, with one company focusing on snacks and the other groceries. But the selling eventually dragged Kraft under, too, and its stock finished down 52 cents, at $33.78.

Steep stock market losses like the ones of the past two weeks can be self-reinforcing. A drop in stocks erodes household wealth and raises doubts about the economic outlook.

CELINA from page 2 Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said Thursday.

On Wednesday, investigators armed with warrants searched Celina’s home and a vehicle belonging to her stepfather, Wendell Noyes. Late last week, while Celina was still missing, investigators entered the home without a warrant seeking clues to her whereabouts.

“We went back yesterday based on additional information developed since finding Celina,” Young said. She would not comment on whether her office had obtained and executed any other search warrants.

Friends say Celina’s mother, Louisa Noyes, is planning a private funeral service and would like to have public memorial services in both Stewartstown and Lancaster at a later date. Most of Noyes’ family lives in Lancaster.

Meanwhile, despite the pall Celina’s death has cast over this town of 800, officials have decided to continue a 35-year tradition of holding a summer fair this weekend.

“The kids have already lost so much,” said one of the event’s planners, Karen Carney-Belknap. “Taking that away, too, would be too much.”

The fair is held in a small town park that had been the scene of candlelight vigils during the week-long search for Celina and since her body was recovered. A picnic table near the gazebo is adorned with stuffed animals, framed photographs of Celina, candles and ceramic angels.

This year’s fair will be dedicated to Celina at an opening ceremony at 7 p.m. Friday.

In a statement, organizers asked the media to stay away from children attending the fair “considering what they

LETTERS Better to help people help themselves than to make them dependent To the editor, I could help but notice the confusion Kate Miller shows in the letter she submitted that was headlined “Sure couldn’t tell Republicans are generous by budget they built”. She is wondering what “evidence” Mr. Earle used in the letter he previously submitted describing how “conservatives” give more money to charitable organizations than “liberals” do. Her basic point is that the state budget recently passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature does not support this claim, and thus some of the confusion. I suppose that in the liberal progressive mind the only charitable organization is the government, since this is the only so-called “charitable giving” the left wing supports.

Charitable giving is the exchange of money or services from an individual or group to another individual or group with the intention that this giving will support those in need. Once upon a time people gave tremendous amounts of support to these charitable organizations, but as the tax bill increases there is less money to donate to charitable causes.

The subject of who gives more money to charity has been studied by the University of Kansas and Chicago University many years ago. What these studies found is that, while conservatives may earn slightly less income than liberals the conservatives give a higher percentage of their income and a greater total of money to charity than liberals.

This follows the conservative agenda where we believe that government is restricted to those actions and responsibilities outlined in the Constitution, which doesn’t include charity (also known as entitlements). Conservatives are always attacked for not wanting to help the downtrodden but the fact is that we care as deeply for the welfare of the “disadvantaged” individuals but believe it is better to help them support themselves than create a dependency. The best way to reduce overhead costs that don’t directly help the people needing help is to get the government out of the way and let individuals help individuals.

Arthur C. Brooks wrote a book titled “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth about Compassionate Conservatism”,

where he outlines his research on this subject. In an online discussion held by The Chronicle of Philanthropy in November 2006 Brooks stated, “In general, there is little evidence that conservatives are richer than liberals. In the data I used in this book, conservatives earned slightly less than liberals, but donated more in each income class. Regarding volunteerism, the gap is statistically insignificant between liberals and conservatives…”

As for the budget issues she brings up she should look at what the governor proposed in his budget. His cuts were far more draconian.

She mentions the cuts to the state university and community college system. Even before this budget, this system charges “in-state” tuition at a rate higher than N.H. students can get in another state paying “out-of-state” tuition. Perhaps if we had a university system board that properly managed the schools they could reduce their budgets and make tuition more affordable.

In fact the retiring president of Lake Region Community College is earning the same money as the president of Phoenix College that has three times the enrollment. Why? As to the other educational issues she mentions, I believe that education should be under a local control. Isn’t this why we have local school boards? Why is it that the cost of public education in N.H. is constantly increasing while there is no increase in academic achievement? As to the drop-out rate that Democrats tried to improve when the age was increased, recent studies from the U.S. Dept. of Education show that the actual rate is 2 – 3 times greater than being reported because of the accounting tricks that were implemented.

Children learn in different ways and perhaps if we had an education system that concentrated on actually teaching our children in the way they best learn we wouldn’t have so many kids trying to leave early.

I am not certain what “evidence” Mr. Earle used for his letter but I hope this letter will answer Ms. Miller’s questions.

We understand government shouldn’t get any more money To the editor, I read with some interest your coverage of the Belknap County meeting of N.H. leading Democrats. Those in attendance seemed to think that their problem is that the American voter doesn’t know enough about what’s going on to have their politics correct — that, if they only understood, they would most certainly vote Democrat.

This might be funny if it weren’t so unfortunate a mindset and one so typical among liberals.

It seems to me the “average American” has come to understand a few things: That government at all levels is wanting ever more of their and future generations’ earnings, and committing it to ever more useless purposes at best, and, at worst, harmful to individuals and society. They understand a federal government that, for a long time and most especially the past 2.5 years, is not paying

cratic Party cares not a thing of fiscal restraint. They understand being in debt at all and especially to China is a bad thing for our future. They understand the meaning of insolvency. They understand that, beyond a point we have long ago passed, the more government they have, the less freedom they have. This is affecting their lives in real and personal ways. They understand that such a government, in the great American tradition, should get absolutely no additional money from its people no matter how much or how little those people have, but should get less money — probably a lot less.

The Belknap Democrats were on to one thing about the average American: They have buyers’ remorse. But, given their thinking about the average American’s mindset, they may be as stunned by the product to be returned in 2012 as they were in 2010.

To the editor, Does anyone remember those halcyon days back in January when President Obama, the Democrats and their MMB’s (mainstream media buddies) were imploring the so-called violent, rhetoric spewing conservative tea party types to cool their hate-filled speech which they were convinced had caused a madman to shoot Gabby Giffords and kill seven others? Of course, it was all lies regarding the tea party gang and lies about what motivated Jared Loughner, the apolitical, deranged killer. Nevertheless, conservatives and tea party types did their best to provide a period of peace and cooperation during the subsequent winter solstice period.

Now, let’s fast forward to the violent, superheated rhetoric that has assaulted the eardrums of all citizens during this summer solstice debt crisis. No longer is there a concern about violent, hate speech prompting lunatics to commit death and mayhem. The Democrats and especially the MMB’s have been on the proverbial warpath against Republicans and conservative tea party folks who have had the audacity to try and put the brakes on a fiscally fired freight train perilously close to clickity clacking off a financial cliff.

Okay, hide the kids and animals, cuz here we go. “The GOP has become the Wahhabis of American government” — Chris Mathews. “This game of chicken, in particular, is deadly and it’s wrong and it’s hostage-taking. And you shouldn’t negotiate with hostage takers.” — Salon’s Joan Walsh, to which Chris Mathews replied, “I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree. It’s terrorism”. Newsweek editor-in chief Tina Brown, “I think they’re the suicide bombers in all of this”. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money” — Democrat Rep. Mike Doyle to which Joe Biden reportedly echoed Mike’s reference to Republicans as “terrorists”. The ubiquitous Chris Mathews labeled tea party activists, “baby-killing terrorists”. Al Sharpton attacked the tea party as “a monster that will destroy you”. The lovely and talented Nancy Pelosi determining that John Boehner chose to go to the “dark side”. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver called the debt deal, “a sugar-coated Satan sandwich”. Pretty scary when the likes of Beaver Cleaver makes more sense than your beloved elected official. There’s more, but I don’t want to keep you away

from the kids any longer.

Well, perhaps for just a minute longer.

I just read in today’s paper that objective columnist Froma Harrop proffered this notion, “Make no mistake: The tea party Republicans have engaged in economic terrorism against the United States”. She goes on to reference them as equal to delusional al-Qaida bombers. Finally, I would like to bring your attention to the ultra-objective letter writer, Ed Allard who assessed the debt crisis debate thusly, “As we see this week, 300-million Americans are being held hostage by a cell of Republican terrorists in Washington”.

I don’t know about you, but I’m just not feeling the love. I’m longing for those halcyon days when the liberals, the progressives, the Democrats and our beloved marshmallow world malingering mainstream media were pining for civility in the wake of a little girl’s senseless death and a comatose Gabrielle Giffords fighting for her life. It was a heartfelt moment when Gabby Giffords, still unable to speak, made an appearance in Congress to cast her vote. Apparently, lost in that moment was perhaps the ultimate irony of seeing Gabrielle appear in Congress against the bellicose backdrop of the liberal, Democrat, MMP attack dogs bearing their teeth and shamelessly calling anyone a “terrorist” who dares to object to their profligate spending ways.

Aah, but you know, there is a delicious and delectable humorous side to the silly, clueless antics of the gang on the left. It is but a very small leap to make the analogy that they are the personification of angry children, reduced to name calling and selfish tantrums.

They are the ones acting so immature as they desperately lose grasp of reality and their hold on an awakened citizenry. Their feeble attempts at baiting tea party conservatives is not working. The liberal oxymorons who have been roaming this country for so long may be headed for extinction. So listen all you tea party types, don’t get mad, get glad, cuz it would appear by their actions, that liberal, socialist ideologues may have already had their day in the sun. So, let’s all head to the beach and load up on immune boosting Vitamin D, because our work to save this Republic has only just begun.

Key witness reluctant to return to N.H. to testify in trial of Meredith man involved in alleged armed robbery that went terribly

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — The trial for the man charged with the burglary and armed robbery that led to the stabbing death of a Meredith man in June of 2010 is now scheduled for late September.

Postponed from July, the trial of Michael Carpenter-Noucas, 28, whose last known address was 5 Stevens Ave. in Meredith is scheduled to begin with jury selection on Sept. 26.

One of the key witnesses against Carpenter-Noucas is David Rivera who lives in Brockton, Mass. and was the intended victim of the alleged attempted robbery. The Office of the Belknap County Attorney had to get Judge James O’Neill to agree to give him immunity from prosecution in order to compel him to come to New Hampshire and testify against Carpenter-Noucas.

O’Neill certified “that under the laws of the State of New Hampshire, if a person comes into this state in obedience to a summons direction that he/she attend and testify in this state, such person shall not be subject to arrest or service of process, civil or criminal, in connection with a matter which arose before entering the state under the summons.”

O’Neill’s certification has to be presented to a Judge of a Court of Record in Plymouth County Massachusetts for a proceeding to compel Rivera’s presence.

The prosecutor’s request came after she learned through Rivera’s attorney that he had no intention of coming to New Hampshire and testifying at Carpenter-Noucas’s trial.

Police alleged Carpenter-Noucas and the late Robert Hart donned masks and rubber gloves and entered a home at 16 Lake St. in Meredith where Rivera was staying.

With Hart allegedly armed with a bat and Carpenter-Noucas allegedly armed with a knife, a fight between the three men ensued and Rivera told police that as he was struggling with Hart, Carpenter-Noucas came to Hart’s assistance but Rivera was able to get the knife away from him and turn it on his two assailants.

Hart died from knife wounds while CarpenterNoucas was sliced in the neck.

Hart’s former girlfriend, Julie Sallies was waiting for the two outside and when Carpenter-Noucas stumbled bleeding from the home, she drove him to the front door of the Meredith Police Department and drove back to Lake Street to look for Hart.

Witnesses said they heard her screaming for him and when they went to see if they could help her, she showed them the blood in the back seat of her car and one of them called 9-1-1.

Meredith and N.H. State Police were already responding because the police dispatcher saw Carpenter-Noucas enter the main lobby of the Police Department.

The only people on Carpenter-Noucas’s witness lists are Leslie Noucas of Meredith and Sarah Longval, the woman who lived in the Lake Street apartment that Carpenter-Noucas and Hart allegedly tried to burglarize and rob.

The prosecution plans on calling local and state police; Rivera; Longval; Sallies; who has pleaded guilty to her role and is in the N.H. State Prison in Goffstow; Patrick McIntire of Lacona; Gina Provost of Laconia; Bonnie Parker of Meredith; Kevin Shea, one of the two men who responded to Sallies’s cry for help; Beth Shea of Meredith; Benjamin Herrmann of Nashua; Joseph Sirles of Concord; and Susan Faith of Concord.

The final pretrial is scheduled for Sept. 8.

LEWIS from page 2 Vegas-based publicist for Lewis, declined comment to The Associated Press on Thursday, saying Lewis was traveling outside Nevada, his home state.

Jim Brown, spokesman for the Tucson, Ariz.based Muscular Dystrophy Association, declined to say what prompted the announcement.

In May, Lewis said in a statement issued through the association that he would make his final appearance on the telethon this year and sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” during a six-hour primetime broadcast scheduled for Sept. 4.

But during a session with reporters last week at a

Television Critics Association press tour to promote an upcoming TV documentary, “Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis,” Lewis hinted that his involvement in raising money for muscular dystrophy research wasn’t finished.

“Who told you that?” Lewis asked a reporter who asked him how he felt about this year being his last telethon. “I never read it.”

“Do you remember when the New York Times printed, ‘Dewey wins’? I rest my case, pal,” Lewis said. “Anything you read, read it twice.”

SOULFEST from page one stock for the festival, New England’s largest such gathering, and are seeing their faith strengthened by the experience says Josh Brown, youth minister at the Meredith church, Brown, whose wife, Kristen, gave birth to the couple’s fifth chlld on Monday, says that the festival provides an upbeat, positive experience for the young members of the two churches and shows them that they are not alone in their faith.

“Shawn Haskins, the youth minister at the Methodist Church and I are good friends, so we decided to get our groups together. We’ve been doing this for a couple of years now and it works out well for both churches,” says Brown.

For Jake Whitney, 16, of Moultonborough, who is attending his fifth SoulFest, it’s the best time of the summer.

“You get to hang out with your friends and praise God at the same time,’’ says Whitney, who says that the experience of camping out together is a lot of fun. “Everyone pitches in and brings food and we cook out together. There’s music from noon to midnight. In between we get to hang out at the campsite and play Frisbee.’’

He says that being a person of faith in a secular society, even in a school setting, isn’t all that difficult.

“My friends come to me and talk openly with me.

If they have questions about the Bible they ask me about it and I give them the best answer I can.” says Whitman, whose future plans involve attending Gordon College and the ministry.

Clavin Fifield, 15, also a member of the Moultonborough church, says that his faith has transformed him into a better person.

“I don’t judge people as much as I used to. I’m not afraid to say ‘yes’ if people need help,’’ says Fifield, who says he looks to a career in business management or accounting.

He said that his mother and sister were also staying at the camp site at Gunstock.

“There are whole families here together. My father, who’s the pastor of the Calvary Bible Church, is here as well,’’ said Brown, who had his four oldest children with him and was hoping that his wife would be able to bring their new born son, Truett, to the festival later in the day.

Jim and Elise Wagner of Northbioro, Mass., were

attending their third SoulFest along with their children, Matthew, 14, and Hanna, 12.

“We love it here. It’s so relaxing. There’s a good message and a good music’’ said Elise as the family watched a main stage concert while sitting on a blanket under a tent they had set up.

Not everyone at the festival is a regular churchgoer. Rodger and Jackie Ward of Brookline were attending their first-ever festival and said they were enjoying the atmosphere and felt very comfortable.

“We’re looking at a Baptist church, but haven’t quite joined yet” said Rodger.

The festival’s concerts run through Saturday night and the event concludes with Sunday morning worship services.

from preceding page the headline “Dewey defeats Truman” the day after Harry Truman beat Thomas Dewey in the presidential election.

Lewis also harshly criticized reality television shows that include heavy involvement from telethon co-hosts Nigel Lythgoe and Alison Sweeney. Lythgoe is executive producer of “American Idol,” which Lewis called a singing competition of “McDonald’s wipeouts,” while Sweeney hosts weight-loss show

“The Biggest Loser.”

“You just have to be bad. The business is scrounging around for what to do,” Lewis said when asked how comedic actors can become great today. “And the first thing a good comic must do is let them know he hasn’t changed.

“He can bring that same veracity and that same performance to a medium that’s running around, knocking their brains out trying to see how we beat the fat lady at 375 pounds, and in four months she’s going to

Citing need for city to have a strategic plan for the future, Seymour says he’ll run for 2nd term as mayor

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA —Mayor Mike Seymour confirmed yesterday that he will seek a second term.

“I don’t want to leave now,” Seymour said. “There has been a lot of change at the top with a new city manager, the retirement of our finance director and the pending retirement of the city manager’s executive assistant. Consistency,” he continued, “does make a difference.”

Seymour, vice-president of marketing and retail services at Franklin Savings Bank, said that there are a number of unresolved issues before the City Council, including the rising cost of the Winnipesaukee River Basin (sewer) Project, the prospect of acquiring the Laconia State School property, the future of the Colonial Theater, the improvement of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center and the introduction of “Pay-As-You-Throw” trash disposal.

“Familiarity with these issues is an advantage and I’d like to see them through to completion,” he said, conceding with a laugh that he could find himself saying the same thing in another two years.

Meanwhile, Seymour said that he also wanted to pursue two initiatives he undertook in his first term, the establishment of a business roundtable and the development of a strategic plan for the city. He said

that after a number of meetings with local business owners the roundtable has adopted a mission statement and charted a direction.

Meanwhile, the council, together with city manager Scott Myers and the department managers, intends to develop a strategic plan for the city.

“These are things I said I would do when I ran for mayor, “ Seymour said, “and now that we’ve made a start, I want to bring them to fruition.” He explained that the intention of the strategic plan is to set priorities and monitor the progress toward fulfilling them.

Seymour said that although serving as mayor has placed heavy demands on his time, his wife, urged him to seek another term. “I don’t know whether she just wanted to get me out of the house,” he laughed, “but she said that as a resident and a taxpayer I should run.”

Bob Hamel, who was first elected to represent Ward 5 on the City Council in 2005, this week also confirmed that he will seek re-election to a fourth term “I still like serving on the council,” he said.

“As long as I can bring something to the table for the ward and the city, I would like to serve.” Like other incumbents, he stressed the importance of maintaining continuity on the council in light of the outstanding issues remaining to be resolved.

Obamacare fine print found to provide windfall for Mass. hospitals at expense of those in other states

WASHINGTON (AP) — An obscure provision tucked into the federal health care law has turned into a jackpot for Massachusetts hospitals, but officials in other states are upset because the money will come from their hospitals.

The Medicare windfall for Massachusetts — $275 million a year — could add up quickly, about $1.4 billion over five years.

“If I could think of a better word than outrageous, I would come up with it,” said Steve Brenton, president of the Wisconsin Hospital Association.

The news was buried in a Medicare regulation issued Monday and comes at a time when hospitals face more cuts under the newly signed federal debt deal.

Even Medicare says it is concerned about “manipulation” of its inpatient payment rules to create big rewards for one state at the expense of others.

Hospitals in 41 states will lose money as a result of the change. The biggest loser: New York, which is out $47.5 million.

Seven states come out ahead, though none do as well as Massachusetts. Runner-up New Jersey stands to gain $54 million, a fraction of what Mas-

sachusetts will get.

President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul was supposed to lead to reforms in Medicare’s byzantine payment system. Critics say this latest twist will encourage the big players to game the system in a scramble for increasingly scarce taxpayer dollars.

The health care law “was to usher in a new era, based on innovations that focused on quality improvement and more efficient health care,” said Herb Kuhn, president of the Missouri Hospital Association. “What we are seeing is innovation in the area of how to manipulate the payment system.”

“It subverts any notion of fairness and equity in developing the rates,” said Laurens Sartoris, president of the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association. “It’s someone going through the backdoor to get special treatment in what amounts to an earmark.”

No backdoor maneuvers were involved, said the head of the Massachusetts Hospital Association, defending the change.

“We do not see this as a manipulation of the rules,” said Lynn Nicholas. She said the higher payments see next page

Red Sox fall back into tie with Yankees after losing to Indians, 7-3, at Fenway BOSTON (AP) — Justin Masterson struck out nine and again beat his former team, Carlos Santana hit a goahead home run and the Cleveland Indians topped the Boston Red Sox 7-3 Thursday night.

The loss dropped Boston into a tie with the Yankees for the AL East lead.

New York visits Fenway Park for a three-game series starting Friday night.

The Indians won for only the fourth time in 15 games. The four-game split prevented Cleveland from falling below .500 for the first time since three games into the season.

Erik Bedard, making his Red Sox debut after being acquired from Seattle, gave up three runs and seven hits in five innings. In his second start since coming off the disabled list, he was on a pitch count and came out after 70 with the score 3-all.

Boston began the day with a onegame lead over the Yankees in the AL East. The Red Sox host New York for a three-game series starting Friday night.

Masterson (9-7) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings.

He improved to 3-0 overall against Boston, which traded him to the Indi-

ans to get Victor Martinez in 2009.

Masterson also tied a major league record with four strikeouts in the third inning. He is the sixth Indians pitcher, the first since Chuck Finley in 2000, to fan four in an inning. Masterson’s wild pitch prolonged the inning.

The Cleveland right-hander gave up two first-inning runs and a solo homer to Josh Reddick in the fourth, leaving after throwing 118 pitches. Three relievers finished up, with Chris Perez working the ninth in a non-save situation.

Santana hit a two-run homer in the sixth for a 5-3 lead. Travis Hafner, who had three hits, led off with a long double against reliever Franklin Morales (0-1) and on the next pitch, Santana, already 2 for 2 with an RBI, hit his 16th home run dead center field.

Hafner s RBI double off Andrew Miller in the seventh and Kosuke Fukudome s RBI double, his third hit, closed the scoring in the ninth.

The Red Sox took a 2-0 lead in the first on an RBI double by Adrian Gonzalez and run-scoring single by David Ortiz. Gonzalez extended his seasonhigh hitting streak to 14 games with his major-league-leading 91st RBI.

from preceding page will help compensate Massachusetts hospitals for a Medicare policy change a few years ago that cost them hundreds of millions of dollars.

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. John Kerry, a co-sponsor of the provision in the health care law that benefited his state’s hospitals, was also steadfast.“When (Medicare) changed the rules five years ago, the rest of the country gained at our expense and Massachusetts took a big hit,” Kerry said in a statement. “These new rules just provide some correction.”

The American Hospital Association supported the change when the law was being debated. An official there now says hospitals didn’t understand what they were getting with the obscure provision.

The saga of how Massachusetts scored big could come straight from a lobbyist’s playbook.

It goes back a few years and twists and turns through Medicare’s mindboggling payment rules.

Those rules include a factor that’s used to adjust payments to hospitals for the difference in labor costs around the country. The adjustments cannot lead to any increase in overall Medicare spending, automatically setting up potential winners and losers.

On top of that, another rule says that the labor cost factor for a hospital in an urban area of a state cannot be less than for that state’s rural areas.

That’s where a hospital on Nantucket, an island off the Massachusetts coast popular with vacationers, comes into the picture.

It had been operating as a “critical access hospital,” reimbursed by Medicare for its costs, a richer payment system than the government-set rates most hospitals receive.

Then, according to Kuhn, some mainland hospitals persuaded Nantucket to reclassify itself. That put it back under the same payment rules as the mainland hospitals. What followed was a sort of domino effect.

Since labor costs are relatively high on the island, it raised rural costs in the entire state. In turn, that led to higher payments for urban hospitals.

The island hospital was affiliated with a group of mainland hospitals that could absorb any losses it suffered because of the transition.

The status change was within the rules, said Nicholas, the head of the Massachusetts hospital association.

She said the mainland hospitals subsidized any financial loss to the island hospital.

“There was no direct payment from one to the other,” said Nicholas, adding that “because they were part of a larger system which overall was profitable, those losses could be absorbed.”

Medicare put up roadblocks to the change, and in 2008 it looked like the feds would win out. Then the health care overhaul law turned the tables.

Medicare officials declined to comment. But in another regulation issued this year, the agency expressed concern with what it termed the “manipulation” of its rules to win an 8 percent increase for one state at the expense of others.

The new payment rates take effect Oct. 1.

In addition to Massachusetts and New Jersey, other states that come out ahead — for a variety of reasons — are Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut and New Hampshire.

Hospitals in Wyoming break even.

And Maryland hospitals have long been paid under a different system.

Every other state loses.

MUSKRATS from page one In the bottom of the inning, John Ziznewski drew a one out walk off Newport reliver Michael Kimock and Rademacher followed with his double that plated Ziznewski with the winning run.

The Muskrats had another big inning in the fifth.

Ziznewski led off with a walk and later scored on a wild pitch. With one out, Dylan Kelly singled and Drew Fann walked in front of a three-run homer off the bat of Regan Flaherty that put Laconia up 7-3.

William Johnson homered for Laconia to lead off the bottom of the first, which was a welcome news after Newport opened the game with a three-run

inning.

Chris Contantino started and went seven innings for the Muskrats, giving up 4 earned runs. Prince, despite giving up the tying runs in the ninth, got the win.

Newport posted a regular season record of 29-14 to win the division by six and one-half games. Laconia was fourth with a 19-24 record.

Laconia posted a 4-3 win in Newport on Wednesday night.

As of press time, the league had not posted a paid attendance figure for Thursday’s game in Laconia.

2,448 watched the two teams play in Newport.

O’BRIEN from page 3 Supervisors of the Checklist, said Thursday that Brendan O’Brien registered to vote there in 2007 when he was 18. He then registered in Maine in June 2009, said Lewiston City Clerk Kathleen Montejo. It’s unclear whether Lewiston notified New

Hampshire of that change, but he then voted in New Hampshire in 2010.

Any such notifications would go through the secretary of state’s office. The New Hampshire secretary of state’s office declined to comment Thursday, citing the attorney general’s investigation.

Northway Bank buys $25,000 in tax credits from Winnipesaukee Players

MEREDITH – Northway Bank caps the opening of its 17th office by purchasing the final $25,000 of the $500,000 New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority (NHCDFA) tax credit awards to the Winnipesaukee Playhouse Capital Campaign.

“We are delighted to be part of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse Capital Campaign,” said Richard Olson, senior vice president and director of consumer and small business banking for Northway Bank. “The arts represent an important part of the Lakes Region economy and we are excited to see a high quality, regional non-profit theatre company that blends professional and community productions with a strong youth education program.” The bank also supported the Playhouse’s summer season by sponsoring one of the theatre’s professional productions.

Northway Bank, the largest independent commercial community bank in the state, has a 100 year history of serving individuals, small business and commercial customers through its 17 banking centers in New Hampshire.

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse Capital Campaign will address the limited seating and storage space at the current Weirs Beach location by converting the former Annalee Doll property in Meredith into an idyllic 11-acre state-of-the-theatre arts campus. The conversion has already tackled classroom, summer camp activities, set building and prop storage needs, and will focus next on the mainstage performance space. The property’s charm is enhanced by a covered bridge, walking trails and a new amphitheatre.

The NHCDFA is a non-profit public instrument of the State of New Hampshire that awards state tax credits to entities for purpose of raising capital funds. The tax credit program provides businesses with the opportunity to contribute to the Playhouse Capital Campaign and receive a 75% state tax credit as well as a 10% federal charitable credit on the donated amount. The Playhouse is one of only 12 projects granted this award by the NHCDFA. Northway Bank’s contribution to the Capital Campaign will be matched by a local supporter who has

New Hampshire Music Festival season’s grand finale is August 10 & 11 PLYMOUTH — The New Hampshire Music Festival will conclude its 2011 season with “Grand Finale!”, on Thursday evening, August 10, at 8 p.m. at the Silver Center for the Arts in Plymouth, and on Friday evening, August 11, at 8 p.m. at the Gilford Auditorium. The talented festival orchestra will perform masJoel Fan (Courtesy photo) terworks under the baton of Music Director Benjamin Loeb and featuring Joel Fan, a pianist who has garnered world-wide fame.

The program will begin with Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, followed by the Brahms Symphony No. 3 and conclude with Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with Joel Fan at the keyboard.

Fan is one of the most dynamic and accomplished musicians performing before the public today. He is consistently acclaimed for his recitals, recordings, and appearances with orchestras throughout the world. His concerts attract a wide range of audiences, as he has eagerly embraced traditional piano literature as well as an eclectic range of repertoire, including new music commissioned especially for him, world music and his own transcriptions. As a recording artist, Fan scored two consecutive Billboard Top 10 Debuts with his solo CDs World Keys and West of the Sun. The Brahms Third Symphony was written in 1883, and is perhaps the composer’s most elusive symphony. It is certainly his most adventurous, featuring daring modulations in the first movement, and a Schumann-esque scheme of thematic interrelationships that culminate in an unusually subdued coda in the finale.

It is notable that the first performance of Tchai-

kovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 premiered on October 25, 1875 in Boston, Massachusetts, and has since become one of the most popular of Tchaikovsky’s compositions and among the best known of all piano concerti.

Classics concerts are priced from $20 to $65 and tickets may be easily purchased online. For information and ticket purchases, contact the festival at 603.279.3300 or visit www.nhmf.org.

Sant Bani School’s oldest building undergoing summer renovation SANBORNTON — The oldest building on the campus of the Sant Bani School is undergoing major renovations this summer and is expected to be re-built as a new facility this fall.

This building has been home to the third through fifth grade classrooms for many years and before that was the original Sant Bani School.

During the winter, architect and long-time friend and neighbor of the school, Tibor Farkas, helped design a building that staff felt would meet the needs of students for years to come. Farkas met with faculty members who teach in the building to ensure that all aspects of the school day were considered, such as academics, art classes and indoor physical education on rainy days.

The building that is now in the renovation phase will house grades three through five. A multipurpose room that will provide a place for the arts, movement classes and a gathering space is being constructed simultaneously.

Sant Bani School founding principal Dr. Kent Bicknell said, “It is a remarkable feeling to have helped create the original stone building 37 years ago and now witness its transformation. This project creates a beautiful, vibrant space for our third, fourth and fifth graders and also builds a bridge between the school’s rich history and exciting future.”

Although the new building covers a larger footprint than the original one did, the look and feel of the old building remains. Insulated radiant heat flooring, super thermal windows, and an air exchanger help to far exceed suggested energy codes. Much thought and care were also given to preserve the school’s organic gardens that students use each year to farm garlic, winter squash, kale and a variety of vegetables.

Sant Bani School is an independent kindergarten through 12th grade day school founded in 1973 with six students and has grown to 170.

Applicants are welcome regardless

Lakes Region Community College fall semester begins August 29 LACONIA — “With twenty-nine Associate Degree and thirty-eight Certificate programs, and more than three hundred courses, there is something for everyone,” says new Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) interim President, Dr. Scott Kalicki (Nashua), who is entering the top position on Prescott Hill as Dr. Mark Edelstein (Laconia) retires after five years of service. “Everyone looks forward to an action-packed fall semester that starts Monday, August 29.”

“LRCC’s Culinary Arts program is booming,” says from preceding page all nearby crossroads. The Mill was recognized this year as one of the 25 most significant preservation milestones of the last quarter century, by the N.H. Preservation Alliance - and the Victorian Society in America, New England chapter for restoration stewardship. Last fall’s first issue was the Belmont Village Bandstand, and has sold out. For further information Belmonthistory@gmail.com

Department Coordinator, Pat Hall (Concord), a hospitality entrepreneur turned educator. “We are offering three new courses in Nutritional and Alternative Baking, Advanced Cake Decorating, and Advanced Pastry Confections to add greater depth to our hospitality offerings. It’s going to be a banner year as classes and sections are filling.”

There will also be a new photovoltaic course at LRCC that will introduce the principles of photovoltaics; including the basics of safety, the electrical basics of solar PV systems, and how modules are designed and combined with other system components. “The College installed 15.57 kilowatts of PV panels with built-in tracking systems as well as stationary panels,” says LRCC Energy Services Technology (EST) Department Head, Carl Daniels (Laconia). “By being able to work with different solar systems installed right on campus, students will learn about the varying efficiencies of today’s solar systems.” LRCC’s EST program is the only New Hampshire college to offer North American Board Certified Energy Practitioners Certification

By Holiday Mathis seem. They may not seem to pay attention to you now, but you never know.

Many decades from now, they could finally register what you said today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have an accurate accounting of what happened in a certain relationship, and yet the other person wouldn’t account for it in quite the same way.

Your willingness to listen will help things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There is no need to worry about your public perception. You are seen in many different ways by many different people, and you have little control over it now. The happier you are the more effective you will be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You rarely mention your good deeds and remarkable achievements to others.

Though your modesty is lovely, you could use a confidence boost. Privately remind yourself of all you’ve accomplished.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It may be the case that you want much more than the other person feels like giving you. You’re not the first person to be in this position, and you may find help from others who’ve learned from the experience.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 5).

Your popularity soars this year as you reach in new directions to make friends.

In September, those who are older and wiser will help you earn money. You’ll attract more romance and fun into your world in November. A longtime fantasy of yours will become a reality in January. Invest in new business in June.

Libra and Sagittarius people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 6, 2, 3, 15 and 38.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your dilemma seems serious to you, and yet to another person, it’s just another day at work. Make notes about what you are going through now so that you may avoid the same situation later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll prepare for an upcoming presentation.

It seems that every time you practice your pitch, it gets better. There is a point of diminishing returns, but you haven’t reached it yet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You read the body language of those around you.

When they want to talk, you’re a listening ear. And when they want to be alone, you give them space. Your appropriate response makes others trust you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes those who have known you all of your life will miss the most basic things about you. That’s why you love a person who gets you from the beginning. Such a person comes along this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s difficult to take another person’s wishes very seriously when your own remain unfulfilled. So don’t wait a moment longer.

Do what you want to do. Later, you’ll be truly happy to help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those younger and less experienced may nonetheless have just the information or point of view that you most need to hear. You’ll be impressed by the wisdom that comes from an unlikely source.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Walk one way, and you’ll have the experiences that come with that path. If you turn in another direction, your fate will be completely different. Much depends on your ability to put yourself in the way of opportunity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Children are more impressionable than they

On this date: In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Revenue Act of 1861, which included the first-ever federal personal income tax, a 3-percent levy on incomes above $800 (however, no income tax ended up actually being collected under this law).

In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the 200-meter dash at the Berlin Olympics, collecting the third of his four gold medals.

In 1953, Operation Big Switch began as prisoners taken during the Korean conflict were exchanged at Panmunjom.

In 1962, actress Marilyn Monroe, 36, was found dead in her Los Angeles home; her death was ruled a probable suicide from an overdose of sleeping pills.

In 1963, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union signed a treaty in Moscow banning nuclear tests in the atmosphere, in space and underwater.

In 1969, the U.S. space probe Mariner 7 flew by Mars, sending back photographs and scientific data.

In 1981, the federal government began firing air traffic controllers who had gone out on strike.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 5, 2011— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married to “John” for six years. We both have children from our first marriages. John’s oldest son is now 14 and still wets the bed. I suggested not allowing the boy to drink anything after 7 p.m. and always making sure he uses the bathroom before bed. My husband did not follow through on either of those. My stepson had been using children’s diapers, but now that he needs an adult size, he refuses to wear them.

Both of the boy’s parents have ignored the problem. Six months ago, I took my stepson to the doctor because I’m tired of washing two loads of sheets every day. The doctor prescribed medication, but my husband’s ex-wife refuses to believe he needs it, so her son doesn’t take the pills when he’s at her house.

My stepson is embarrassed about the bedwetting, so I don’t understand why he refuses to wear the adult diapers and “forgets” to take his medication. He sometimes won’t even make an effort to use the bathroom before he goes to sleep.

A few nights ago, he came out of his room at 10 p.m. to get a drink of water. My husband saw him and did nothing.

In the meantime, I get stuck with the laundry. The most frustrating thing is my husband’s attitude. I don’t get it. What else can I do? -- Tired of Wet Beds Dear Tired: Enuresis often occurs when children sleep too deeply to wake to the warning signs of incipient urination.

There also is often an inherited predisposition. At the age of 14, your stepson’s emotional and social life can suffer enormously from bedwetting. Shame on his parents for ignoring the problem and undermining all efforts to stay dry. You can invest in an alarm that will go off if the bed becomes wet.

You also can insist that your stepson launder his own sheets or, better yet, that your husband wash them. Maybe that will impress upon him the need to be more supportive of his son’s

development.

Dear Annie: My daughter and her child are planning to visit this summer, and I am dreading it. Last summer’s visit was horrible, and I never wanted to see them again. But they are family.

I am an elderly widow in good shape. Her daughter has great difficulty abiding by my rules. I can make a few adjustments, but still, the girl seems constantly distracted and hyperactive. She also snoops into my things and takes stuff that doesn’t belong to her.

My daughter is doing a good job with a difficult child, but she seems to have a lot of blind spots. How far can I go in correcting her behavior in my home? -- Panicked in Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: You are allowed to create areas of the house that are off-limits and to tell others not to touch your personal belongings. If your daughter refuses to correct her child in these areas, you are entitled to do so, but only verbally. You are NOT allowed to physically reprimand her. We strongly suggest you discuss the rules with your daughter in advance and ask her to help you with the discipline so everyone can enjoy the visit.

Dear Annie: “Tired of Living with Silent Bob” said every little thing sends his wife into a rage. That used to be me. I was constantly miserable. You can’t know how it feels to be irritated with everything and not know why. My husband even bought me a book about “angry women,” which I threw in his face.

I finally was tested, and it turned out that my oxygen level was dropping substantially for most of the time I was asleep.

After a few weeks with a CPAP machine, my anger went away. Please remind your readers what sleep apnea can do.

-- Eureka, Ill.

Coin Collectors group at Landmark Inn Aug. 9-13

LACONIA — The International Coin Collectors Association will be at the Landmark Inn August 9-13 purchasing coins, paper currency, gold and silver on behalf of its global network of collectors, dealers and refineries. Show hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesday through Saturday.

ICCA spokesman Mark Cooper says, “We hope to spend at least $250,000 while we are in town, purchasing people’s old coin collections, vintage bank notes and scrap gold and silver. It’s been all over the news – gold and silver are trading at record highs – and people everywhere are scrambling to cash in. We buy a lot of class rings, mismatched earrings and broken necklaces. Just a small handful of gold can add up to hundreds of dollars very quickly.” Cooper says.

Traveling from small towns to large cities, the ICCA hosts hundreds of events each year where local residents are encouraged to bring in their precious metals, old coins and paper money to earn extra cash. While meeting one-on-one with each guest, the ICCA specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an offer to purchase all gold coins, silver coins made before 1965 and paper money printed prior to 1934.

The amount of the offer depends on the silver or gold content, the collectability, the rarity and the condition of the items. If the guest decides to accept the offer made, a check will be issued on the spot.

Tilton dentist receives 2011 Mastership Award from Academy of General Dentistry TILTON — The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), a professional association of more than 37,000 general dentists dedicated to staying up to date in the profession through continuing education to better serve the public has announced that Dr. Jean-Paul Rabbath, DMD, MAGD, of Tilton received the association’s 2011 Mastership award during the AGD 2011 Annual Meeting & Exhibits, held July 28 to 31 in San Diego.

The Mastership award is the highest honor available at the AGD and one of the most respected designations within the profession. To accomplish this goal, Dr. Rabbath completed 1,100 hours of continuing dental education in lectures and participation.

As a recipient of the Mastership award, Dr. Rabbath joins now an elite group of more than 2,200 active AGD Masters who understand that providing great smiles and good oral health for their patients are the result of going above and beyond basic requirements. The Mastership award symbolizes excellence in the dental profession and a commitment to providing exceptional patient care.

“We are proud to honor Dr. Rabbath for his commitment to provide the highest quality of oral care to their patients,” says AGD President Howard Gamble, DMD, FAGD. “There are more than 100,000 general dentists in the country and less than one percent of those are Masters with the AGD. It’s a remarkable accomplishment for Dr. Rabbath.”

Dr. Rabbath graduated from University of Montreal, Faculty of Dental Medicine, in 1998 and currently practices dentistry in Tilton. In addition to the AGD, he is an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), Canadian Dental Association (CDA), New Hampshire Dental Society (NHDS) and the Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS). Dr. Rabbath is also the Membership Chair and the Delegate from NH for the AGD and serve as a council member on continuing education for the NHDS.
