County rebuffs State School offer, backs city’s bid

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Belknap County Commission voted yesterday to reject the state’s offer which would have allowed it to purchase the former Laconia State School property for $1,760,000.

At the same time commissioners expressed strong support for the City of

Laconia and its offer to buy the property from the state for $2.16 million. ‘’We have offered our full support and encouragement to the City of Laconia,’’ reads the letter to Linda Hodgdon, Commissioner of Department of Administrative Services, in which commissioners also noted that the citizens of Laconia ‘’are strongly opposed to operating a jail or prison on the

property.’’

Members of the Belknap County Delegation last week, led by Representative Bob Greemore (R-Meredith) floated the idea of that the county consider purchasing the property as the site of a new county correctional facility.

Commissioners reiterated their opposisee COUNTY page 9

MVSB donates $100,000 to Huot Technical Center renovation

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Bankers look askance at loaning for restaurants, which they generally deem risky enterprises, but Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) welcomed the opportunity to invest in the culinary arts program which will be housed in the new addition to the Huot Technical Center at Laconia High School.

Speaking at the site of the addition yesterday, City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) said that MVSB’s reputation of contributing to the communities served by its franchise was born out by its prompt and generous response to the capital campaign mounted by the School District, which aims to raise $1-million from private sources to complete the project. “It has been a pleasure dealing with MVSB and its people,” he said, expressing thanks for the “extraordinary generosity” of their $100,000 contribution to the project. see MVSB page 10

Martian crater reminiscent of Mojave Desert

PASADENA, Calif.

(AP) — The ancient Martian crater where the Curiosity rover landed looks strikingly similar to the Mojave Desert in California with its looming mountains and hanging haze, scientists said Wednesday.

“The first impression that you get is how Earth-like this seems looking at that landscape,” said chief scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology.

Overnight, the carsize rover poked its head out for the first time since settling in Gale Crater, peered around and returned a black-and-white selfportrait and panorama that’s still being processed.

It provided the best view so far of its destination since touching down Sunday night after nailing an intricate choreography.

During the last few seconds, a rocket-powered spacecraft hovered as cables lowered Curiosity to the ground. see MARS page 14

Syrian refugee camps swell as frustrations rise YAYLADAGI, Turkey (AP) — His twostory house with a garden became a military post when government forces moved into his village in northeastern Syria. More than a year has passed for Amin Idlibi and his family, now sharing a crowded tent in a Turkish refugee camp, and the limbo of more than 250,000 others who have fled Syria’s civil war into neighboring countries.

“Time passes so slowly here as we wait to return home,” said Idlibi, a 58-year-old retired civil servant as he sat in this camp on the edge of a Turkish farming community, one of eight Turkish-run camps that have taken in thousands more refugees just in the past week.

And the numbers are likely to rise.

A government offensive Wednesday against rebel strongholds in Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, could touch off another major

exodus into nearby Turkey. In Jordan, authorities are straining to build more camps to accommodate refugees from Syria’s south — where the uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime began more than 17 months ago. On one recent night alone, an estimated 4,000 Syrians arrived in Jordan.

In Jordan’s Zataari camp, opened just two weeks ago on a desolate desert plain, some 3,300 displaced Syrians have raised complaints about conditions that include dust storms and tents that are home to snakes and scorpions.

“Death camp,” said a sign in Arabic stuck on a tent bearing the U.N. refugee agency’s blue emblem.

“In Syria, it’s a quick death,” explained a 30-year-old refugee who gave his name as Abu Sami, as he and other Syrians gathered to protest the conditions. “But here in

Zataari camp, it’s a slow death for us all.

We escaped shelling and bombardment of our homes and now face this torment.”

So far, the flight from Syria has not brought the humanitarian crises that gripped battlefields such as the Balkans or Afghanistan. Many among the first wave of refugees were absorbed into communities in Jordan and Lebanon, which now have at least 200,000 displaced Syrians between them. In Turkey, officials have set up camps that now hold about 50,000 Syrians. Smaller numbers have fled to Iraq.

The U.N. refugee agency puts the overall figure of the displaced at 115,000, but officials acknowledge this only counts Syrians who have registered as refugees and not the tens of thousands of others who have blended into communities.

18 batches of NH mosquitos test positive for West Nile virus CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire health officials say 18 batches of mosquitoes taken from Manchester, Nashua and Salem have tested positive for the West Nile virus.

This is in addition to the eight batches that the city of Manchester already announced this season. The findings have caused the Department of Health and Human Services to raise the risk level for the virus and ones related to it in these

cities.

“While this is our first announcement of West Nile virus in New Hampshire this season, we have been hearing of positive test results from some of our neighboring states already,” said Dr. Sharon AlroyPreis, state epidemiologist.

The virus is transmitted from the bite of an infected mosquito. It was first identified in New Hampshire in August 2000. Last year, nine mosquito batches tested positive

Man who threatened police had ammunition, sought assault rifle

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The former Gilford man who allegedly threatened the life of a Laconia Police officer and the city prosecutor was in possession of a 40-round magazine or “clip” and was actively seeking a rifle before Gilford Police found him, said affidavits filed with the court yesterday.

Bernard O. Huard, 54, whose address was given as 925 South Main St. in Franklin, allegedly called Laconia Cardiology Tuesday night at 5:58 p.m. and spoke with employee Sharon Cavanaugh about some medication.

During that conversation, Huard allegedly told Cavanaugh, a retired Laconia Police sergeant, that he was going to shoot Laconia Police Detective Kevin Butler and Laconia City Prosecutor James Sawyer in the head with an AK-47 - an assault rifle.

Cavanaugh immediately called the Gilford Police and the search for Huard began.

Shortly after receiving the call, Gilford Police Sgt. Dustin Parent and Officer Kevin Baron located Huard at 23 Liscomb Circle in the home of Thomas Fuller. Huard’s former address is 23 Liscomb Circle.

After a brief struggle, Huard was taken into custody and brought to Lakes Region General Hospital for evaluation “for having homicidal thoughts.”

Laconia Police Captains William Clary and Matt Canfield and Laconia Police Officer Eric Adams assisted Gilford.

Gilford Police spoke with Fuller who told them Huard had come to his house seeking an AK-47 for which he already had a loaded magazine.

Gilford Police charged Huard with two counts of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and one count of resisting arrest. Judge James Carroll ordered him held on $5,000 cash-only bail on the Gilford charges and ordered him to stay out of Gilford unless he is seeking mental health treatment.

Once Huard was at LRGH, Clary, Adams and Baron guarded him.

During that time, Laconia Police affidavits indicate Huard allegedly told Clary he didn’t like Butler. When Clary asked him how he even knew Butler, Huard allegedly said, “Butler

had been harassing him for the last 10 years.”

Clary, who is head of the Laconia Police Detective Bureau, asked Huard if he had reported the alleged harassment to which Huard allegedly replied, “They all know.”

Huard allegedly said, “when I see Kevin Butler, I am going to put a (explicative) bullet in his head, “ and “when I see him, I’m going to (explicative) kill him.”

Affidavits said Clary looked at Huard and said, “you are threatening a police officer in front of three police officers. You know that, right?”

Huard allegedly said “I don’t (explicative) care, I’m going to (explicative) shoot him.”

For the Laconia statements, Carroll ordered Huard held on $5,000 additional cash bail.

He also ordered that Huard have no contact with Cavanaugh, Butler or Sawyer.

According to records obtained from the N.H. Judiciary, Huard was convicted in 2004 for theft by deception and twice for driving while intoxicated - once in 1990 and once in 2000.

He was convicted for driving after revocation in 1991 and disobeying a police officer in 1991.

In 2008, he was indicted by a Belknap County grand jury for allegedly supplying the methadone that killed Joseph Sirles in an accidental overdose. Carroll was the county prosecutor in 2008 and he dropped the charges against Huard for evidentiary reasons.

Laconia Police Chief Christopher Adams said yesterday that Sirles body was found in the Landmark Inn on May, 22, 2007. He said the Laconia Police conducted the investigation into Sirles death.

Both Gilford Police Chief Kevin Keenan and Adams said the recent alleged threats of taking someone’s life, especially in the wake of the recent shootings in Aurora, Colorado and Oak Creek, Wisconsin, underscores the seriousness of criminal threatening with any kind of weapon.

Both said they couldn’t emphasize enough the serious nature of these charges and encourage anyone who learns of any types of these kinds of threats to contact their local police immediately.

U.S. athletes win 7 medals on Wednesday The Americans had a huge haul at Olympic Stadium, collecting seven athletics medals on Wednesday night.

Medal winners were: Allyson Felix (gold) and Carmelita Jeter (bronze) in 200 meters Aries Merritt (gold) and Jason Richardson (silver) in 110 meter hurdles Brittney Reece (gold) and Janay DeLoach (bronze) in long jump Lashinda Demus (silver) in 400 meter hurdles.

Here’s what some of them had to say about the big night: Reece: “This means a lot to our country. We’re on track for 30 medals. We’re getting some unexpected medals.”

Jeter: “The only thing that mattered to me was to get back on that podium, to get us some more medals because I believe China was beating us before we lined up tonight. I definitely wanted to make sure we got our medals up. We collected!”

Get-together: 85th Annual Greenwood-Paradie Reunion held in Franklin

BY ROGER AMSDEN THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

FRANKLIN — One of the longest-running family reunions in the country was held here over the weekend at the home of James and Theresa Hammond on Victory Drive as some 75 or so members of the Greenwood-Paradie families gathered for the 85th consecutive year.

The reunions date back to 1927 when the first one was held at a Woodsville restaurant so that members of both extended families could get to know their aunts, uncles, and cousins better .

That reunion was organized by Adolphus C. Greenwood and Mary Jane Paradie Greenwood, who had married on July 1, 1901 and had 14 children, 11 sons and three daughters, and around that time lived on Highland Street in Woodsville, where Adolphus was a car inspector for the railroad.

They would later move to Monroe and over the years the reunion has been held at many locations according to Robert Greenwood of Belmont, who says they have also been held in Haverhill, Warren, Claremont, Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, Charlestown, Unity and for about 10 years in a row on Union Road in Belmont.

Greenwood says that he can remember some of those reunions from his boyhood, many of which

Mary Greenwood Dubois of Laconia holds photos of Adolphus and Mary Greenwood and the wedding certificate and photo of their marriage on July 1, 1901. The couple, who had 14 children, 11 sons and three daughters, started the Greenwood-Paradie family reunion in 1927 so that members of their large families could get to know each other and the reunion is now 85 years old.

Expressions of beliefs about the immorality of homosexuality no longer tolerated Two weeks ago, Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A, an Atlanta company famous for its juicy chicken sandwiches, appeared on “The Ken Coleman Show” to air his biblical belief that those who champion same-sex marriage are risking divine retribution upon us all.

“We are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” said Cathy. “I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about.”

Speaking of the company his father started after World War II, Cathy went on, “We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives.”

With 1,600 restaurants and 50,000 employees in 40 states, Chick-fil-A is among our fastest-growing food chains. Obedient to the commandment, “Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day,” Cathy closes his outlets on Sundays.

Reaction to his remarks has been little short of hysterical.

Mayors Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, Thomas Menino of Boston and Edwin Lee of San Francisco said they no longer want Chick-fil-A in their cities.

“Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values,” says Rahm.mD.C. Mayor Vincent Gray says there’s no place for “hate chicken” in the nation’s capital.

Boycotts of Chick-fil-A, its expulsion from campuses and “Same-Sex Kiss Day” at local outlets are planned.

Rush Limbaugh, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin have come to the defense of Cathy and Chick-fil-A, and on Wednesday scores of thousands of loyal patrons dined at outlets in solidarity.

What does this battle tell us about which way the tide is running in the culture war? If intolerance is a mark of rising faiths and movements, the news is not good.

For consider. Chick-fil-A does not discriminate against any patron, and after Cathy’s remarks, the company issued a statement that, as Paul Gottfried writes, reads like something out of the Department of Education.

Said Chick-fil-A’s PR office, we “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender.” Nor have charges of systematic civil rights violations in hiring or promotion been leveled against the chain.

What, then, brought down the firestorm of abuse on the company and its president as homophobic, intolerant and bigoted?

Answer: It is simply what Cathy

said and what Cathy believes.

The homosexual rights revolutionaries can no longer tolerate the public expression of beliefs, held since the time of Christ, about the immorality of homosexuality — beliefs still taught in Christian schools and preached in Christian churches. Those who profess or promulgate such beliefs are to be shunned and subjected to social and economic sanctions.

What is astonishing is that we are not talking here about the expression of Nazi ideas, but of teachings about the spiritual and social consequences of homosexuality embedded in our country’s own Old-time Religion. In the more progressive precincts of America, the retelling of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the lessons therein, is apparently now a hate crime.

Remarkable is the change in society we have witnessed. It was not 10 years ago that the Supreme Court declared that states could no longer outlaw private sexual behavior between consenting adults and tossed out the anti-sodomy laws of 17 states. In his dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that the court had “taken sides in the culture war” and “largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda.” This decision “effectively decrees the end of all morals legislation” and makes same-sex marriage a logical result, said the justice.

Scalia was right. Consider how far we have come since. While homosexual marriage has been rejected by voters in all 31 states where it has been on a ballot, it is being imposed by state legislatures and judges. Now we have the spectacle of a public caning of a private citizen for expressing religious beliefs held by perhaps 100 million American adults.

What is behind the rage, other than a hatred of Cathy’s Christian beliefs and a determination to see them stamped out?

As the individuals attacking Cathy obviously reject his biblical beliefs and consider them absurd, what are they afraid of? Mr. Cathy is not some fascist about to seize power, but a socially conservative businessman.

Indeed, not until this year has a timid Democratic Party decided to endorse homosexual marriage in its platform. In 2008, Barack Obama was still for traditional marriage.

If the Republican Party has not gone wobbly in the culture war, it will take up the challenge of that Democratic platform and make homosexual marriage the social issue of the fall election.

The GOP might just drive a wedge through the Democratic coalition and send Obama down to defeat. But if the Tampa Republicans are unwilling to fight the culture war, culture warriors should look to themselves.

LETTERS It’s not just a Republican idea to think all babies deserve life To the editor, This is in response to Jon Hoyt’s letter in the August 8 issue of The Daily Sun. He says that abortion is a private matter that should be left to the mother. How about other child abuse, should that also be left to the parents’ decisions?

Abortion isn’t private. Not only does a woman kill her own baby in an abortion, but she also murders a child who could grow into an important, contributing member of our society. We don’t know until a few months after the birth if a child has a low I.Q. Does Mr. Hoyt think we should kill the child then?

Mr. Hoyt implies that abortion of certain types of babies would eliminate some of our special education needs. His point could be taken further if he feels murder is the answer to unpleasant situations. Then would he extend his idea to the murder of other “types” ? Would he accept mur-

dering school-age children with discipline problems since they also drain school resources.

Mr. Hoyt’s argument toward the killing of undesirables is exactly what goes on in China with limiting each family to two children. And most horrible of all is that Mr. Hoyt’s answer to eliminating society’s unwanted is what Hitler did in Nazi Germany, that is, the exterminating of whoever the state felt was not good enough to keep. When this idea is extended to unborn babies it’s a terrible act.

All babies deserve life. It is stated in our constitution, the guarantee of life, the first guarantee.

Anti-abortion isn’t just a Republican idea; it is the feeling of anyone who cherishes life.

Life is precious. Keep an unborn child, that daughter or son is part of your family.

Harry Mitchell Laconia

History shows that Democratic presidents engage in wars, too To the editor, I hope I’m not the only one who got a good laugh out of Leon Albushies’s claim Tuesday that “The Republican Party is the War Party.” And that Mr Albushies implies that Republicans enjoy torture!

I guess Mr. Albushies doesn’t equate WWI with Wilson (D) or WWII with Roosevelt (D) or Viet Nam with Kennedy (D) & Johnson (D).

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have a monopoly on War. Wars have happened during this country’s history for many different reasons to many different presidents. Same thing

goes for torture: Wilson didn’t stop the use of mustard gas, Roosevelt ordered Japanese/American families rounded up on the West Coast and confined to prison camps in Pleasanton for up to four years, Lyndon Johnson chose daily bombing targets and seemed pleased with napalm and Agent Orange; hey, even Harry Truman ordered hundred of thousands of civilians nuked in two Japanese cities.

No political party is the party of war or torture; please choose your words more carefully.

Curt McGee Sanbornton

I would like to know Bob Lamb’s answers to these 4 questions To the editor.

Who is Bob Lamb?

Bob Lamb continues to want to debate Jeanie Forrester. He and his supporters are spending a lot of energy to bring about these debates. Why should she do that? Those of us who know her, know her voting record and what she supports. Why doesn’t Mr. Lamb just state his positions on the issues.

I don’t know anything about Mr. Lamb but would like him to answer four questions:

expanding Medicaid in our state?

2. Do you believe the state needs a broad-based tax system?

3. Where do you stand on school funding? Should we have a constitutional amendment to define an adequate education?

4. Do we need pension reform for state workers?

If he could answers these questions I would then know what his idea is of the future of our state.

To the editor, I would like to personally thank Mr. Albushies for his help in persuading people to vote in this upcoming election. His letter could not have been more of an incentive to vote Republican if you have not made up your mind. It is truly a looking glass into the mind of a person who is either entirely brainwashed and incapable of making decisions when the facts are presented to him or he has the brain of a lab rat. I don’t know which is true and I don’t mean to put down lab rats with this comparison, but after reading his letter, these are the only two logical conclusions. I won’t even get into the finger pointing over the economy which I’ve heard debated that it was Bush or Clinton’s fault. I’ll concede that situation to be complicated and there are many facts that we will never know. So let’s review the rest of his brilliant thesis...

Concerning the first Gulf War — ‘Lies proffered by President George W. Bush and his criminal administration cost the lives of over two thousand American servicemen and over a half million innocent civilians and solders”. March 16th, 1988, Sadaam Hussein gassed over five thousand of his own countryman and injured over ten thousand more in a northern province of Iraq in the years before he decided to INVADE Kuwait. Mr. Albushie, that is mass murder from a country’s own government (defined by Iraq’s own courts) that this world had never seen before. So yes, Iraq did possess weapons of mass destruction, which is what the president proclaimed. That is not a lie. There are also numerous pictures of Sadaam himself holding components to tactical nuclear devices in the months/years before the Gulf War. How innocent are Iraq’s soldiers and civilians when they allow their government to invade a nearby, weaker country — running over citizens with tanks and shooting people in the streets — destroying buildings and infrastructure, and finally destroying a natural resource as large as the oil production just because you knew you couldn’t hold it for long. I wonder what the price of gas would be right now if we still had the SIX MILLION barrels of oil that went up in smoke A DAY for eleven months after those cowards ran (all facts by the way)? A dictator who

To the editor, No one likes to pay taxes, but the truth is that taxes are what pays government bills. Who is the government? It is you, the taxpayer. In a room of 100 people it is fair to estimate that each and everyone has paid some form of tax. It is expected that our roads, bridges, schools, and other public infrastructure will be paid for by the people who use them . . . you, The Taxpayer. This is not new, what is “new” is the idea that you can get something for nothing, but we all know that it does not work that way.

President Obama has a vision for an economy built to last and built from the Middle Class out.

That means most of us. His plan reduces the deficit in a balanced, orderly way. His plan, unlike the failed budget from the House of Representatives, continues to invest in education, infrastructure, and energy. Austerity measures are not balanced on the back of the Middle Class of Americans.

American workers grow our economy both now and in the future.

kills his own people with gas + nuclear components’ + invading another country = threat. It’s not rocket science.

“Super-patriots will still deny any wrongdoing”. How about people who believe the United States to be a force of good in the world agree that going into Kuwait to liberate its own people from the thugs and murderers from Iraq was the right thing to do?’. That sentence is far more accurate than yours. The Congress and Senate both overwhelmingly voted for action against Iraq too, both after Kuwait and 9/11.

“The Republican record is one of financial disaster and never ending wars”. A record of financial disaster?

Well lets see, Reagan was a Republican, and his record not only consisted of an average of 4.3-percent Gross Domestic Product growth ( 2-3-percent is healthy, we’re at 1.5-percent right now) but he had one of the longest peace time records of any president with no major conflicts. You constantly insinuate that a vote for a Republican is a vote for war. Let’s do a fact check to see who was in office during our major wars... hmm WWI – Woodrow Wilson, Democrat. WWII – Roosevelt, Democrat then Harry Truman, also a Democrat, and he dropped a few nuclear bombs on his watch and was the president for the Korean War. Next was Lyndon B Johnson and Vietnam, also a Democrat.

Nixon does get credit for starting the “war on drugs” but that’s about it. Then we have President Clinton, who made a speech condemning violence (because of the Columbine shootings) on the same day that he ordered the most bombs dropped during the Serbian/Bosnia war and who made the final decisions to bomb Libya recently? Last I heard it wasn’t Romney.

Being involved in the Gulf War and the Serb/Bosnian war, I saw the destruction first hand. I do not condone violence unless necessary, and the horrors of war are unspeakable. With that in mind, I implore all of you undecided to not be persuaded by Mr. Albushies scare tactics. I’m sure his next move will be to label me as a warmonger or attack me because I insulted him, when really his very essence of the way he warps the facts is an insult to anyone reading his letters with an IQ over 60.

That 9-volt battery in the ‘junk drawer’ could start a house fire To the editor, Laconia Fire department urges residents to locate their spare batteries and learn how to store them safely. In July, a fire broke out in a kitchen “junk” drawer which the resident stated she had just cleaned and organized. The fire produced smoke throughout the first floor of the home. In the drawer were spare keys, a cigarette lighter, paper clips, eye glass cleaner, and some batteries in a baggie along with everything else that you find in a “junk” drawer.

The local fire department determined the cause of the fire to be from a 9-volt battery stored in the same baggie with other batteries. The 9 volt battery rubbed against another battery and ignited the fire. In the hom-

not have been away for the weekend!”

A 9-volt battery is a fire hazard because the positive and negative posts are on top, right next to one another. If the ends come in contact with anything metal i.e. aluminum foil, steel wool, paper clip, other batteries, etc. this will allow the object to heat up and ignite a fire.

The safe method to store 9-volt batteries is to keep them in the original packaging or keep ends covered. For disposal, make sure that the positive and negative posts are safely wrapped in electrical tape.

Remember to check your smoke alarms each month to ensure your family has the early warning to get out safely if a fire should occur in your home.

On the other hand, if elected, Mitt Romney’s first act would be to get rid of the social network that has taken over 50 years to build. His plan is to continue the failed “trickle down” economic theory. While the upper 1-percent continue to do extremely well, the rest of us wait in wings hoping to do better “tomorrow”. Of course, “tomorrow never comes”. Under Romney’s plan the Middle Class pays a larger and larger share of the bill. In New Hampshire, 640,000 middle class families could face a tax increase.

An average tax increase for families with children, under Romney, would be about $2,000. Under President Obama’s plan the typical family would save approximately $4,238. Your vote for President Obama in the November election will make a major difference to the Middle Class of Americans in the foreseeable future. Think about it.

Make a difference and vote for President Obama and the American Middle Class. We still exist.

Athletes from around the world coming for Timberman Triathlon To the editor, If its August, it must be Timberman Triathlon time. This event brings athletes from around the country, and the world, to compete over a mid-August weekend in two main events. A Sprint Triathlon, consisting of a 1/3mile swim, 15 mile bike and 5K run and the bigger Half Iron event, asking contenders to cover 1.2 mile in the water, 56 miles on the bike and run 13.1 (half marathon) miles.

People challenge themselves to this events for a variety of reasons. The Sprint is a great way to introduce oneself to the sport and many local’s “give it a TRI,” as it were. Reasons vary from losing a bit of weight to getting back into “college” shape or just seeing if they can meet the challenge.

Angela Bourassa was one of those locals who, last year, completed the sprint event in an effort to get back into shape. She only found out afterward that she did so with two broken bones in her foot. Didn’t keep her from finishing the event, though.

Over the year, Angela’s’ health has changed drastically, for the worse.

She struggles daily with pain that she describes as 8 to 10, while on string pain killers, and has been forced to

a seated walker. She struggles constantly to stay conscious but loses that battle many times throughout the day.

There have been many false hopes, and dashes of those hopes, in the road to diagnosing the cause of her pain and bleeding. If the current hypothesis of a rare hereditary illness is correct, she could be facing twice daily dosages of medications that cost almost $2,000 EACH. That quickly adds up to almost $1.5-million per year!

Angela faces all of these hurdles while tending to her 6-year-old boy, who has been taught by her fiance, Luke, what to do if she stops breathing when he is not there. Due to her weakness, her mom or a friend spend days with her to help her to eat, drink and be safe.

Angela needs our help.

I am taking part in this years Sprint Triathlon in Gilford for many of the same reasons everyone else does. To stay in shape and see if I can put up with the “pain” for up to 90 minutes. It may hurt, but I get to cross the finish line, have some food and a recovery drink, stretch out the muscles and go home, resuming a “normal” life. If only Angela could do that. Makes something that at one time felt so daunt-

Handful of attendees at Gilford Summer Forum hear of taut budgets

By Mike Mortensen

GILFORD – Municipal departments have been tightening their belts, a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, selectmen and town department heads told the Summer Town Forum Wednesday evening.

The annual meeting held primarily to provide seasonal residents with an overview of local government services drew fewer than 10 members of the general public.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn noted that in the past three years there have been staff cuts, equivalent to 6½ full-time positions, in various departments, as well as cuts to department budgets. He said the town now pays $179,000 less in wages and benefits than before, and he pointed out that this past year the selectmen had cut the municipal departments’ budget requests by a total of $529,000.

“All departments are doing more with less,” Selectmen Chairman Gus Benavides, told the meeting. “And our goal (for next year’s budget) is a zero percent increase or a reduction.”

Town Assessing Agent Wil Corcoran noted the situation is being influenced by the decline in property assess-

ments. “If the cuts continue, it exacerbates the delivery of services we provide,” he said.

He noted that prior to 2008 the average sale price for a non-lakeshore residence was $300,000. Since 2008 that average has fallen to $270,000 he said. Now he said home sale prices are leveling off. “We’re beginning to see stability,” he said, “but we’re not seeing an uptick.”

Town Planning Director John Ayer said construction activity is increasing, with the number of building permits issued up 10 percent over the same time last year. He expected that the recently approved Walmart expansion will create some positive spinoff in commercial development for Gilford, although the bulk of the Walmart expansion will actually take place in Laconia.

Fire Chief Steve Carrier said that the department’s call volume is up 4 percent. One new development, he said, was that the department is dealing with more non-emergency calls on Lake Winnipesaukee because of state Marine Patrol staff cuts. As a result the Fire Department boat is often the first unit on the scene to deal with boating distress calls.

Police Chief Kevin Keenan said one

So, I dedicate my personal challenge to Angela, someone I have not met personally but “know” through facebook and her Mom, Nancy, whose work with the Lyme Support Groups in New Hampshire is legendary.

I am asking for your financial support.

Please send what you can to the following address: Angela Bourassa c/o Nancy Bourassa, 85 Gillette St., Laconia, NH 03246 — making checks to: Nancy Bourassa (memo for Angela Bourassa) whether you know Angela or not. Sometimes the most reward-

The world is a challenging place and solving its problems is a bit daunting. It’s a lot easier to help out a single individual in your local town that is suffering much more than she deserves. It will mean the world to her and, although I am sure she will appreciate the money raised, knowing that her town cares will hopefully take that pain threshold down a number or two. If even for a little while.

way his department is working to control costs is by purchasing more fuelefficient vehicles.

School Superintendent said the School Department, too, is operating under a 2.8 percent budget cut, that has resulted in cuts in programs and personnel. He said the school system is working on ways to cut utility costs.

But he also took the opportunity to point out that several school system programs have been honored for their achievements, including the high

school literary magazine, the robotics teams, the dramatic arts program and the honors course program.

In the public comment portion of the meeting Jim McBride of the Gilford Island Association urged the town to enact a town ordinance which would toughen the shoreline developing regulations regarding the cutting of trees close to shore. He said tougher restrictions are necessary in view of the state’s new shore-land protection law which he said is looser.

erty. But the operators were using Drew’s liquor license.

The Liquor Commission after lengthy testimony voted to allow Drew to keep his license.

At the July 25 selectmen’s meeting, Drew’s attorney David Bownes indicated it was likely that Drew would challenge the no-exotic entertainment decision in court.

In other business: -- Selectmen voted 2-1 to hire someone for 20 hours a week to clean the Gilford Library. The town put the position out to bid, and Dunn told the board that the three bids it received from private contractors would have provided negligible savings. Library Director Katherine Dormody said the Library Trustees preferred that the cleaning be done by a town employee because they felt that someone working for the town would take more personal interest in the job. Selectmen Chairman Gus Benavides, voted against the hiring because he felt that using outside contractors versus putting someone on the town payroll would offer other advantages even if there were no significant savings in costs.

– Without taking a formal vote, selectmen turned thumbs down on a request by Dustin Parent to conduct a baitand-hunt for black bear on town-owned property off Swain Road.

Dunn said the fear was that the bait would attract more bears to the area and therefore increase the likelihood that some bears would cause problems in residential areas. Dunn said the town’s liability insurance carrier advised the bait-andhunt was a bad idea.

– Selectman John O’Brien raised a concern about people setting off fireworks in Gunstock Acres. He was particularly worried because the lack of rain this summer raises the chances that fireworks might start a woods fire.

He noted that people in Gunstock Acres might think it’s all right for them to set off firesee next page

Gilford Selectmen refuse to reduce cost of Drew’s entertainment license FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD – Selectmen have refused to reduce the cost of a Gilford nightspot’s entertainment license because the board has denied the owner’s request to have exotic entertainment.

Will Drew, owner of Kelsey’s at the Grant, had requested that the $600 license fee be abated by an unspecified amount after the board on July 25 voted to give him a live entertainment license with everything but exotic dancing.

Before selectmen voted 3-0 Wednesday evening not to grant the abatement, Town Administrator Scott Dunn told the board that the license would cost $600 whether there was exotic entertainment or not.

The vote by selectmen last month not to allow exotic entertainment at Kelsey’s followed days of hearings before the state Liquor Commission on whether Drew should lose his liquor license following an October 2011 drug raid at the former Mardi Gras North Cabaret in which seven people were arrested, including four dancers, one former dancer.

Dr. Charles Fink of Belmont embarks upon write-in campaign for Republican state rep primary

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT - A doctor from Belmont announced last night that he is waging a write-in candidacy for one of the two open spots on the Belmont GOP side of the ballot in this year’s primary race for N.H. state representative.

The announcement that Dr. Charles Fink is trying to muster enough votes to get on November’s ballot was made last night at the monthly meeting of the Belknap County Republican Committee, where there was a meet-the-candidates night.

Fink told the standing-room-only crowd at the Top of the Town Restaurant that he chose to enter the fray when he realized there were only two Democrats running for the two Belmont-only seats in the state house and “that was something he just couldn’t live with.”

According to RSA 659:88 “a person whose name was not printed on the official state primary election ballot of a political party shall not be entitled to the nomination of that party for any office unless the COUNTY from page one tion to that proposal yesterday. Commissioner Stephen Nedeau of Meredith said that he toured the former prison property with legislators and was not impressed.’’Nothing I saw would make me want to change my mind,’’ said Nedeau, noting that the state currently has a half million in its budget for maintaining the current property. ‘’A correctional facility there will never get my vote,’’ said Ed Philpot, commission chairman. Fellow commissioner John Thomas said that the county should proceed to develop its own plans for a new correctional facility on property it currently owns. ‘’We’re under a deadline to get something done with a new correctional facility. A Brownfields cleanup will take at least two years. We just don’t have the time to wait on that property,’’ said Thomas.

City Councilman and former Laconia Mayor Matt Lahey said that the State School property ‘’is far to valuable to be used as a jail’’ and that he was surprised that the city was being challenged by both the state and the county delegation in its bid for the property.

He said that the state appeared to be changing its from preceding page works when they see fireworks being shot off from Lakeshore Park.

person received at least 35 write-in votes.”

Should Fink get the 35 write-in votes, he must file his declaration of candidacy with the secretary of state no later than 3 p.m. of the first Friday after the primary.

Fink spoke briefly at the meeting last night describing himself as a “conservative Republican,” and constitutionalist who supports limited government and personal responsibility.

He said he is a staunch supporter of the First and Second Amendments to the U.S. constitution that protect free speech and the right to bear arms.

“I’m afraid our children won’t have a chance at the American dream,” Fink said.

He said he is a chiropractor and nutritionist whose clientele are finding it increasingly more and more difficult to afford his services.

“All my clients are squeezed for the dollars,” he said adding he too is tired of paying taxes.

He ended his brief speech by saying that “Obama must go.” mind about the property, which had originally been offered to the city for $10 million, and that there was no way the county would be able to purchase the property for $1.76 million. ‘’Regardless of the offer you received, the County would not be able to purchase the property for $1.76 million. That would need three votes on the Executive Council and I can’t imagine they would let it go for that when there’s a $2.16 million offer from the city on the table.’’

He also pointed out that the city holds 99-year leases on three parcels of the state-owned land, including the Robbie Mills complex, which he said would have no value to any other party. ‘’The city and the county have the advantage of both being eligible for EPA cleanup funds. Neither the state, which is responsible for the environmental problems, nor private parties would be eligible for those funds.

He said that Concord developer Stephen Duprey, who had spoken to the Long Range Study Commission that he had chaired, had said that the state should sell the land to the city for $1 as no private developer would be interested due to the cleanup costs and lack of demand for the property.

Lahey also noted that Bill Wrenn, commissioner of the Department of Corrections, told the commission that the property would never again be used for a correctional facility. He also pointed out that Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has said that the site is “nothsee next page

School District plans meeting for abutters wary of proposed high school & Huot Center project

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA — After residents living around Laconia High School appeared at the Planning Board on Tuesday to voice concerns about the impact of the expansion of the Huot Technical Center and reconfiguration of the playing fields on their neighborhoods, the School Board announced that a public meeting will be held next week to address the issues they have raised.

School Superintendent Bob Champlin said yesterday that date, time and venue of the meeting will be announced shortly. He said that in addition to officials of the School District and members of the School Board, City Councilor Matt Lahey, who represents Ward 2, Luke Powell, assistant director of public works, and Ed Jansury, an engineer with Rist-Frost-Shumway Engineering will also attend.

Approximately 45 people filled the city council chambers after abutters were notified by certified mail that the Planning Board would be briefed on the project, which as a municipal undertaking

requires neither the notification of abutters nor the approval of the board. Chad Montrose and Jansury, both of Rist-Frost-Shumway Engineering made the presentation to the Planning Board in the absence of officials from the School District.

Residents expressed concerns about stormwater runoff, public safety and traffic patterns as well as complained that neighbors were not properly notified of the scope and impact of the project. Several feared that relocating the football field and redeveloping Bobotas Field would result in athletes using the fields and fans attending games to cross over their properties adjacent to the new complex.

Champlin said that when the project was being planned the School District scheduled and held three public meetings, all of which were sparsely attended. He noted that an early plan included providing access to the high school campus by way of Isabella Street, but the proposal was abandoned after neighbors objected. He said that he and Ed Emond, business administrator for the district, visited with particular residents to allay their concerns.

MVSB from page one The culinary arts program, which will include a restaurant on the ground floor of the new addition open to the public, will bear the name of the bank, Lahey said.

Sam Laverack, president and CEO of MVSB, said throughout its 142 years the bank has “served the communities, in which we do business.” He said that when he was approached by representatives of the capital campaign, he asked what benefits the project offers the community. He said that among the challenges facing the Lakes Region is how to keep young people from leaving. Noting that the hospitality sector is a major component of the regional economy, he said the culinary arts program provided students with the means to seize opportunities.

“Students will learn more than just the art of cooking,” Laverack said. “They will learn the technical, cultural and scientific aspects of the culinary arts. They’ll learn leadership and problem-solving skills that will make them invaluable assets to local employers.” He emphasized that culinary arts program will serve students from numerous communities in the Lakes Region.

In addition, Laverack said that the bank’s donation provided matching funds the School District requires to qualify for the Qualified Zone Academy Bond (QZAB), a $6.5-million loan bearing no interest. “We thank the

School School Board for thinking of us,” he said.

Jack Aldrich, who heads the culinary arts program, accompanied by several of his students, touted the dining room, which he said would provide students “the thrill of doing the real life stuff and see the pleasure of the customers.” The restaurant is scheduled to be open to the public for luncheon is about a year’s time.

While the big donors capture the headlines, everyone has an opportunity to leave their mark on the project through the purchase of the brick and granite pavers, inscribed with name or message of the donors, which will line the entrance to what is to be called Bank of New Hampshire Stadium. The new field will be located slightly to the east of the present one as well, as well as raised above the parking lot level. There will be 1,000 brick pavers measuring four inches by eight inches with space for 20 character for a donation of $125 and 300 brick pavers measuring eight inches by inches with space for 40 characters for donations of $250. The 150 granite pavers are twelve inches square with space for a message, an image or a combination of the two in return for a $1,000 donation.

More information, including how to order a paver on-line, is available on the Laconia School District website under LHS Athletic Field Capital or by contacting the superintendent’s office at 524-5710.

He said that the city would be able to use the property for ‘’recreation, agriculture and conservation’’ and that there was a need for a long-term study to see what the best use for some of the old buildings once the property has been cleaned up.

Only one member of the county delegation, Rep. Robert Kingsbury of Laconia, attended the meeting.

He asked no questions about the State School property but did inquire about the status of Ricci Greene study which is being undertaken in connection with plans for a new county jail.

Commissioners said they were taking up a contract with the consulting firm later in the meeting and that the timeline is to have the $160,000 study by the New York consulting firm completed by midDecember.

Congressman told ambulatory care facilities need higher reimbursement rates GILFORD — Congressman Frank Guinta heard about problems faced by ambulatory care facilities during a visit to the Hillside Medical Center Wednesday afternoon.

Joyce Meisel, administrator of Hillside Surgery Center, and president of the board of the New Hampshire Ambulatory Surgery Association, led the Congressman on the tour of the facilities at the center, which provides complex ambulatory services in a cost-effective, patient-friendly environment.

She said that a routine hip replacement surgery for a Medicaid patient saw the center provide $4,000 in services while receiving only an $800 reimbursement.

Dr. John Grobman of Orthopedic Professional Association said that ambulatory surgery centers can do procedures at a much lower cost than those performed in hospitals due to lower overheads. Without adequate reimbursements, however, those facilities won’t be able to function well enough economically to remain viable, which will in turn drive medical costs up. ‘’It is important for us to recover costs,’’ said Grobman, who was told by Guinta that he agreed that reasonable reimbursements were needed and that one of the drivers of increased medical costs is because people don’t know what the cost of their care is. ‘’There’s plenty of money to go around in the health care system if it’s allocated properly,’’ said Guinta, who said that one of the problems is that ‘’people don’t realize they’re paying for other people’s care’’ through higher health insurance premiums and urged more individual responsibility on health care issues.

Grobman said that one of the big problems, other than low Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, is that for-profit insurance companies, while making record profits, continue to sharply increase rates. ‘’Hospitals and providers are easy to squeeze. But there’s a limit to that,’’ said Grobman, who noted that he is receiving less for many surgeries than

he was 20 years ago.

Guinta said that his wife, who is a hospital employee, received a bill for $4,500 from the hospital emergency room where she works after making a visit there when she didn’t have her insurance card with her.

He said that was an example of defensive medicine gone awry and said that tort reform would help doctors make more cost-efficient decisions without the fear of facing a lawsuit. He also said many hospitals in the state are providing up to $1 million a month in uncompensated care.

The Congressman, who has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, said that the outcome of this fall’s presidential election will determine the future course of health care and that he favors the Republican Party’s proposals, one small step at a time, saying that the Obama plan is too much all at once.

Another concern brought to Guinta’s attention was the the shortage of prescription drugs, which surgery center employees told him would see drug manufacturers sending letters to the center saying that certain drugs were no longer available. Employees said these would invariably be followed by e-mails, the same day, from different providers, offering the drugs for prices 10 to 100 times higher than had previously been paid.

Last fall the Food and Drug Administration said that the number of reported prescription drug shortages in the United States nearly tripled between 2005 and 2010.

An investigation into so-called gray markets by a Congressional Committee last fall was started after reports that a leukemia drug whose typical contract price is about $12 per vial was being sold at $990 per vial – 80 times higher. A Premier healthcare alliance report released last August estimated that the typical gray market vendor marks up prices by an average 650 percent. At the extreme, a drug used to treat high blood pressure that was normally priced at $25.90 was being sold at $1,200 due to a drug shortage.

Guinta said he would look into the issue.

ABUTTERS from page one Board would be briefed on the project, which as a municipal undertaking requires neither the notification of abutters nor the approval of the board. Chad Montrose and Jansury, both of Rist-Frost-Shumway Engineering made the presentation to the Planning Board in the absence of officials from the School District.

Residents expressed concerns about stormwater runoff, public safety and traffic patterns as well as complained that neighbors were not properly notified of the scope and impact of the project. Several feared that relocating the football field and redeveloping

Bobotas Field would result in athletes using the fields and fans attending games to cross over their properties adjacent to the new complex.

Champlin said that when the project was being planned the School District scheduled and held three public meetings, all of which were sparsely attended. He noted that an early plan included providing access to the high school campus by way of Isabella Street, but the proposal was abandoned after neighbors objected. He said that he and Ed Emond, business administrator for the district, visited with particular residents to allay their concerns.

SYRIA from page one tries becoming overwhelmed as the Syrian conflict drags on.

Reflecting concerns the refugee crisis could easily stretch into another winter, the European Union pledged $6.1 million (€5 million) last month

to help Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and France said it plans to send military medical teams to Jordan. In Saudi Arabia — a strong backer of the Syrian rebels — a five-day telethon last month raised more than $70 milsee next page

GILFORD - After a 20 minute presentation to the 50 or so people who attended Tuesday night’s deliberative session regarding the purchase of a new fire truck, just one person walked to at the microphone.

“I stand in support,” said resident Meg Jenkins, telling the audience she believes both Fire Chief Steve Carrier and the Board of Fire Engineers had done “due diligence” in their research.

If passed, the proposed fire truck would cost $441,820 payable in 10 annual payments of $50,901 beginning in 2013.

The discussion surrounding the purchase of a replacement truck for the 25-year-old Engine 4 has been a long and often contentious one.

The attack truck, the second attack truck in Gilford’s fleet of four trucks, was on the ballot in March for replacement. During the ensuing Budget Committee hearings on the entire budget, some of its members, notably Kevin Leandro and Pat Labonte, spoke against the purchase, arguing the fire truck was repairable.

The Budget Committee voted 6-to-6 not to recommend the purchase. In the wake of the Budget Committee’s vote and in the belief that Engine 4 could be

repaired for around $35,000, selectmen voted unanimously not to recommend the purchase and at the ballot session at March’s town meeting, the warrant article was defeated.

Following the defeat of the warrant article, fire officials took Engine 4 to Lakes Region Fire Apparatus in Tamworth for the needed repairs that, most critically, included a new pump.

What they learned from LRFA was not only were the pump’s innards rotten but the pump housing itself would need replacing, bumping the total potential costs of the repairs to as much as $80,000. Inspectors also determined the brakes were failing and Engine 4 was taken out of service and towed back to Gilford.

After it was taken from service, selectmen began the process of getting permission from a Belknap County judge to hold a special town meeting. Judge Kenneth McHugh issued a ruling granting permission, which led to last night’s deliberative session.

The ballot vote will take place on September 11, which is also the N.H. State Primary Day. Voting will take place at the Gilford Middle School Auditorium, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 pm. and voters will be given two separate ballots. Absentee voters must ask for both ballots from the Gilford Town Clerk’s Office.

Murder trial of wife of Chinese politician begins HEFEI, China (AP) — The wife of disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai stood trial Thursday for the murder of a British former associate in a tightly orchestrated proceeding that marks a key step toward resolving the messiest scandal the leadership has faced in two decades.

Gu Kailai and a household aide faced charges of murdering Neil Heywood, a British businessman who had close ties to the Bo family, in a trial at the Hefei Intermediate People’s Court in eastern China. They were represented by government-appointed lawyers from Anhui province, of which Hefei is the capital city.

An official at the courthouse confirmed the trial had started after a convoy of black cars entered a side entrance into an underground parking lot. . A British diplomat was seen entering the court, but did not comment.

Observers say the central leadership’s main objectives in Gu’s trial is to keep the focus tightly on the murder case and not on larger allegations of corruption that could further taint the communist regime.

Beijing also will closely orchestrate publicity to try to convince the domestic audience that the trial has been fair and the international community that justice has been served in the slaying of a foreigner.

The morning of the trial began with a steady downpour.

Security was tight around the courthouse, with roads around it blocked to car travel. Reporters were asked to present their IDs before being allowed to get close to the building, but police lines were pulled across the main entrance and guarded by police. Other entrances were similarly guarded. Dozens of plainclothes security officers loitered around the streets. Several special police vans were parked around the building.

Gu and the aide, Zhang Xiaojun, are likely to be found guilty of intentional homicide, which carries punishment ranging from more than 10 years in jail to a life sentence or the death penalty. In announcing the indictment about two weeks ago, the official Xinhua News Agency made clear the government considers the verdict a foregone conclusion. “The see next page

from preceding page lion for refugees.

In the Turkish camp in Yayladagi, a refugee who identified himself as Yassin said he feels even more alone during the current holy month of Ramadan, which includes a sunset meal to break the daylong fast.

“I used to break my fast with my family in Syria.

Here I am like an orphan,” said the 32-year-old, whose family is still in Syria. “A day is as long as a year.”

Each of the Turkish camps has a clinic, mosque, playground for children, bathrooms and showers.

Every tent has a small refrigerator, a fan and cooking gas where families prepare their own food. Families in Yayladagi can also buy televisions or other extras in the nearby village, if they can afford it. Not far from the camp, cattle graze near fields of wheat and fruit trees.

Still, the crowded conditions take a toll.

“My life is miserable in the tent” said Haj AbdulKarim, a drawing instructor from the Syrian town of Jisr al-Shughour, which was overrun by Syrian forces 14 months ago. He now shares a tent with nine family members. “We usually squeeze ourselves to be able to sleep, but now in the summer some of us sleep outside.”

In Kilis, another Turkish border town, authorities responded to a protest about camp conditions by deporting some refugees to a desert camp near Urfa, where living conditions are more austere, refugees said.

“Turkish people are hospitable and generous. Still, our lives in the camps are difficult,” said a woman in Yayladagi, who identified herself as Um Ahmad.

“The most important thing for me is to return to my country, even if I am going to be eating sand there.”

Felix fast enough for 200-meter gold LONDON (AP) — Around the 2012 Olympics and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of the games to you: SILVER AND GOLD Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce doesn’t mind a silver to go with her gold.

The winner of the 100-meter dash followed it up with a runner-up finish to Allyson Felix of the U.S. in Wednesday night’s 200 meters.

That didn’t diminish the Jamaican’s smile — or her status as one of the worlds top sprinters.

“I must admit, it was really, really hard to pick yourself up after 100 meters and do three more rounds of 200,” she says. “Mentally, as an athlete, it’s very difficult for me, especially the fact that it’s my first double in a championship.”

She says she’s not sure she would agree to run the 200 again against such tough competition.

“I don’t think you could ever put eight ladies like that again in a race,” she says. “I would never run.”

HAT TRICK Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor completed the Olympic hat trick.

The high profile pair picked up their third straight gold medal in beach volleyball in an All-American final, beating April Ross and Jennifer Kessy 21-16, 21-16 on Wednesday night.

Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor have never lost a match, and only dropped one set, in their Olympic career.

With a rowdy crowd on its feet, MayTreanor and Walsh Jennings dropped to their knees and embraced as Ross’ serve sailed long to clinch it.

SILVER SADNESS Lashinda Demus won silver medal

in the 400 meters hurdles — and was devastated.

Demus, last year’s world champion, pushed hard at the end but came up just short in her attempt to catch Natalya Antyukh of Russia at the London Olympics.

The American doubled over in tears.

“I can’t explain how bad I wanted the gold medal. It’s something I’ve been dreaming about the last eight years,” she said.

Demus admitted that expectations got the best of her even before the race began.

“When you’ve got people who want it for you as well, it’s just a lot more to have on your shoulders,” she said.

“I just wanted to do well for my family and friends back home who supported me. I broke down crying, overwhelmed with emotion, even before I ran.”

Demus vowed to give it another shot at the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro.

“No. 2 in the whole world says a whole lot, but No. 1 one says even more,” she said. “So I won’t stop until I get that gold medal.”

STREAK SNAPPED Jamaica’s Veronica CampbellBrown has had her gold medal run snapped.

Campbell-Brown finished fourth in the 200 meters in London on Wednesday night. That ended her run of two Olympic championships — she won the gold in 2004 and 2008.

“I have to be grateful. I’m healthy,” said Campbell-Brown, who won bronze last week in the 100 meters. “My objective was to at least get a medal. It wasn’t in my favor this time. It’s ok.”

The win this time went to American Allyson Felix, who lost to CampbellBrown in the last two Olympics.

“I’m happy for her. I know that she wanted it,” Campbell-Brown said.

from preceding page facts of the two defendants’ crime are clear, and the evidence is irrefutable and substantial,” it said.

It was not known how long the trial would last, but it was expected to be short.

Gu and Zhang are accused of poisoning Heywood in November in the southwestern mega-city of Chongqing, where Bo was party chief until his ouster this spring. According to Xinhua, Gu had a falling out with Heywood over money and worried that her son’s safety was threatened.

In London, Heywood’s mother accused the press of spreading lies about her son. “You’ve all behaved so appallingly,” Ann Heywood said Wednesday outside her home.

British media have suggested Neil Heywood was involved in money laundering, worked for British intelligence or that he was Gu’s lover. Ann Heywood claimed to know more about the case than was in the public domain, but she wasn’t specific and said the truth would come out eventually.

The scandal has drawn attention to political infighting that China prefers to keep secret and comes at a time when the government is preparing for a once-a-decade political transition that will install a new generation of leaders.

Bo was once a contender for a top job.

Before his ouster in the spring, Bo, also the son of a revolutionary veteran,

was one of China’s most powerful and charismatic politicians. But his overt maneuvering for a top political job, as well as high-profile campaigns to bust organized crime and promote communist culture — while trampling over civil liberties and reviving memories of the chaotic Cultural Revolution in the process — angered some leaders.

The infighting came to light in February with the sudden flight to the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu of longtime Bo aide and former Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun. Apparently fearing for his safety if he remained in Chongqing, Wang told American diplomats about his suspicions that Heywood had been murdered and that Bo’s family was involved.

In April, Bo was stripped of his most powerful posts and Gu was named a suspect in Heywood’s murder. That was followed by a report late last month about her indictment, which indicated that the leadership had closed ranks and reached a general agreement about the case and was ready to move forward with the trial.

Bo is the first Politburo member to be removed from office in five years and the scandal kicked up talk of a political struggle involving Bo supporters intent on derailing succession plans calling for Vice President Xi Jinping to lead the party for the next decade.

“I can’t say enough about the group fitness classes that Laconia Athletic & Swim club has to offer. The instructors are wonderful! As an avid bicyclist, the spin classes are a great way to keep in shape in the off season. The newest class, Body Combat, is one of my favorites - what a way to relieve some frustrations and build muscle definition. Zumba is so much fun, it’s a great work out.

I recently went through the Commit To Be Fit program at the club - I had lost 100 pounds prior to the program and couldn’t seem to lose any more weight. This 13 week program was a great eye opener for me.

I always said I knew what I needed to do, but the program taught me so much more.

I’ve continued the healthy lifestyle and have lost another 50 plus pounds.

No matter what fitness level you are at, there is something for you. I encourage you to come join the fun and look forward to seeing new faces at the gym.”

BOSTON (AP) — Josh Beckett usually reserves these kinds of Fenway performances for the New York Yankees.

Beckett gave up a season-high eight runs over five-plus innings and the Boston Red Sox couldn’t outslug Texas, losing to the Rangers 10-9 Wednesday.

“It’s tough. It’d be a lot better if we were winning two out of every three games.

That’s what makes it tough,” said Beckett, who matched his Fenway Park high with the eight runs. “These are the guys that I got to come to work with every day.

It’s been tough on all of us.”

It was the seventh time he’s given up eight or more runs at Fenway — including four times against the rival Yankees — and first since May 7, 2010.

The Rangers chased him when Geovany Soto hit a two-run homer in the sixth, making the score 8-5. Beckett was loudly booed as he walked slowly to the dugout after being pulled.

“He made some good pitches and I guess some not-so-good pitches,” Boston manager Bobby Valentine said.

“He finished the fifth inning pretty good and it’s the bottom of the order, I thought he could maybe squeak one out. I sure wasn’t expecting Soto to hit a home run.”

The one-time ace of the staff had his ERA climb to 4.97 from 4.54 in his first start since leaving July 31 with back spasms.

Adrian Beltre’s tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the ninth inning lifted the Rangers after they blew a late four-run lead.

Beckett felt like he let the offense down.

“They kept fighting back and that’s kind of what we’ve done all year,” he said. “They deserve a lot of credit — not just today — but through the course of the year. They just kept battling back and they played great

defense behind me as well.”

Beckett’s career-best streak of starts without surrendering a home run was halted at 12. It was the longest in the majors’ this season and most by a Red Sox starter since Mel Parnell’s 14 straight in 1948.

Josh Hamilton homered among his three hits and had four RBIs for Texas, which couldn’t hold a 9-5 edge before pulling out its sixth win in eight games.

Mitch Moreland and Nelson Cruz also homered for the Rangers. It was Soto’s first with Texas since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs in a non-waiver deadline deal last week.

The AL West-leading Rangers took two of three from Boston, closing their road trip at 4-2.

Will Middlebrooks had a three-run homer for the second straight game, and Cody Ross added a solo shot and drove in two runs for Boston, which has lost six of eight and went 4-6 on its longest homestand of the season.

Adrian Gonzalez added three RBI doubles for the Red Sox. It was only Hamilton’s fourth multi-hit game in his last 27. Before Wednesday, he had just two homers and 16 RBIs since the All-Star break.

Alexi Ogando (2-0) worked two perfect innings of relief for the win. Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his 23rd save, striking out the last two batters with a runner on second.

With the score tied 9-all, Elvis Andrus walked and moved to third on Hamilton’s single off Clayton Mortensen (1-1). Alfredo Aceves relieved before Beltre’s sacrifice fly.

Trailing 9-5 in the seventh, Boston tied it when Gonzalez had his third run-scoring double and Middlebrooks homered into the left-field seats off reliever Roy Oswalt.

MARS from page 2 In the latest photos, Curiosity looked out toward the northern horizon. Nearby were scour marks in the surface blasted by thrusters, which kicked up a swirl of dust. There were concerns that Curiosity got dusty, but scientists said that was not the case.

“We do see a thin coating of dust, but nothing too bad,” said Justin Maki, imaging scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $2.5 billion mission.

Scientists were giddy about the scour marks because they exposed bedrock below — information that should help them better understand the landing site.

Since landing, Curiosity has zipped home a stream of low-resolution pictures taken by tiny cameras under the chassis and a camera at the end of its robotic arm, which remained stowed. It also sent back a low-quality video showing the last 2 1/2 minutes of its descent.

The rover successfully raised its mast packed with high-resolution and navigation cameras. With the mast up, it can begin its shutterbug days in force, including taking a 360-degree color view of its surroundings as early as Thursday.

Grotzinger said he was struck by the Martian landscape, which appeared diverse. There seemed to be harder material underneath the gravelly surface, he said.

“It kind of makes you feel at home,” he said. “We’re looking at a place that feels really comfortable.”

Mars, of course, is very different from Earth. It’s a frigid desert constantly bombarded by radiation.

There are geological signs that it was a warmer and wetter place once upon a time. One of the mission’s goals is to figure out how Mars transformed.

After sailing 352 million miles and eight months, Curiosity parked its six wheels near the Martian equator, where it will spend the next two years poking into rocks and soil in search of the chemical ingredients of life. It is the most expensive and ambitious mission yet to Mars.

Its ultimate destination is a mountain towering from the center of the crater floor. Preliminary estimates indicate Curiosity landed four miles away from the base of Mount Sharp, thought to contain intriguing signs of past water — a starting point to learning whether microbial life could exist.

Before the 1-ton, nuclear-powered Curiosity can start roving, it has to undergo several weeks of tedious but essential health checks.

Since it was too heavy to land using traditional air bags, it used a heat shield, parachute, rockets and cables.

An orbiting spacecraft spotted the discarded spacecraft hardware, including the ballast weights that were shed soon after entry into the atmosphere.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Recently, my husband and I chaperoned a seven-day office-sponsored trip for high school sophomores and juniors. My husband, who is in his 50s, is very outgoing.

While on the trip, he developed quite a following among the teens, especially the girls, many of whom developed a little crush on him. I brought up the possibility that these girls would want to friend him on Facebook, and we both agreed it would not be a good idea.

Now that we are home, however, he has, in fact, friended several of the kids, mostly girls. I do not have a good feeling about this, especially when so many innocent actions could be interpreted as criminal acts. My husband has worked hard to move up the ladder at his company, and I worry that he might be jeopardizing his career.

I have asked that he block these kids, but he says it’s no big deal and I’m overreacting. He says he wants to watch them grow up. I have explained my reservations, saying these kids are not his peers, and as the adult, he needs to be more responsible. My husband and his friends share a risque sense of humor, and who knows what would happen if these kids saw those comments? While it’s OK that he has friended our children’s friends (who are a bit older), I don’t think it’s appropriate to do so with children who have no ties to us. I fear this foolishness will cause problems. I don’t want teenagers stalking us. I don’t want them to see photographs of us on our children’s Facebook pages that may not be appropriate for these teens.

Am I being oversensitive or not? -- To Be or Not To Be Overreacting Dear To Be: We understand your trepidation, although you are expecting a worst-case scenario that may not happen. However, when your husband agreed not to friend these kids, he should have kept his word, and now he needs to back

away. Make sure he confines their access so they are not privy to anything personal or inappropriate while he gradually unfriends them. And we recommend you keep an eye on things to be sure no lines are crossed. You seem to have a better grasp of the pitfalls than your husband.

Dear Annie: I am a widow in my late 60s. Four years ago, I moved to be closer to my children and grandchildren, and it’s been wonderful. Recently, I reconnected with an old boyfriend, and we have fallen in love. We want to spend what time we have left together. The problem is, I would have to move to his home, which is three hours away. I’m already experiencing tears and hard feelings from my family. The adults I can deal with, but what do I tell my little grandchildren who say, “We had you first, Gram”? How do I make them understand that my love for them will never change and that we can still visit? -- Sad Gram Dear Gram: It’s sweet that your family will miss you so much, but the only way to make the children understand is to let them live through the experience. You are only three hours away. When they see how often you visit, call, write, email, Skype, whatever, they will be able to accept your new circumstances more easily.

Dear Annie: I have a solution for “Maria in Ohio,” who asked how to word wedding invitations when the parents are divorced and remarried to others. This is how our family now handles things: “Together with their parents, Bride Jane’s name and Groom Joe’s name invite you to share in their joy as they exchange wedding vows,” followed by the date, time and location.

This is the format, no matter who is paying for the event or how much, and it doesn’t matter how many parents or stepparents are involved. (When did life get so complicated?) -B.S.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis There’s little to be gained from speculating about someone’s odd behavior.

The only way to get to the bottom of it is to ask. If that seems impolite to you, it probably is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

It may seem rather glamorous to be “in the loop,” when in actuality it could be much better for you to stay on the outside of said loop, where there’s little chance you’ll be tainted by the residue of drama.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll listen to others to try to understand where they are coming from and what they are going through. It’s because you care, but also because you want to know their motivation and what they want from you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Nothing is predetermined. Considering the glorious flexibility of human consciousness, there’s no telling what any one individual will do to maximize opportunities or overcome disadvantages.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll spend many hours of highly focused attention on productive and practical activities. By evening, you may feel like you have very little psychic energy to invest in your loved ones. Then love will recharge and empower you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 9). This year brings a breakthrough. You’ll feel that you’ve finally passed into a realm you’ve long wanted to know. The sensation is that of trumpets announcing your arrival and your being warmly presented and accepted. There’s extra money to be made in August, October and November. Wedding bells ring in June. Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 9, 25, 41 and 10.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A strong inner will guides you, and it seems to be making plans so secretive that you do not even know about them until you are in full swing. Surprises are in store.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You celebrate the obvious, and you also celebrate for no reason at all. The latter will involve your loved ones today, and they will know that you truly appreciate and love them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you work to get to a place of “no regrets,” there is something good about regret to consider. Whatever you wish you would have done differently you can use to inform your next move.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Where many would grow impatient, you’ll excel. It’s because you are willing to invest great attention in things for their own sake without expecting an immediate return.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may come across work you did long ago and discover that it makes no sense to you now, or you may be utterly baffled by a decision you made way back when. See how far you’ve come?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some people are fond of saying “the time is now” at any ol’ time. But you’ve learned through the years that the time is not always now for everything you want to do. You have the maturity for deep strategy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). All snowflakes are about the same color and melt at the exact same temperature, and yet each one is completely unique.

Someone will appreciate your originality this afternoon, which may make you melt a little, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August9, 2012

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Aug. 9, the 222nd day of 2012. There are 144 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 9, 1974, President Richard Nixon and his family left the White House as his resignation took effect. Vice President Gerald R. Ford became the nation’s 38th chief executive.

On this date: In 1842, the United States and Canada resolved a border dispute by signing the WebsterAshburton Treaty.

In 1854, Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden,” which described Thoreau’s experiences while living near Walden Pond in Massachusetts, was first published.

In 1862, during the Civil War, Confederate forces drove back Union troops in the Battle of Cedar Mountain in Culpeper County, Va. In 1902, Edward VII was crowned king of Britain following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria.

In 1936, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal at the Berlin Olympics as the United States took first place in the 400-meter relay.

In 1942, Britain arrested Indian nationalist Mohandas K. Gandhi; he was released in 1944.

In 1944, 258 African-American sailors based at Port Chicago, Calif., refused to load a munitions ship following an explosion on another ship that killed 320 men, many of them black. (Fifty of the sailors were convicted of mutiny, fined and imprisoned.)

In 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki, killing an estimated 74,000 people.

In 1962, German-born Swiss poet and author Hermann Hesse, 85, died in Montagnola, Switzerland.

In 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four other people were found brutally slain at Tate’s Los Angeles home; cult leader Charles Manson and a group of his followers were later convicted of the crime.

In 1982, a federal judge in Washington ordered John W. Hinckley Jr., who’d been acquitted of shooting President Ronald Reagan and three others by reason of insanity, committed to a mental hospital.

One year ago: In a surprise announcement, the Federal Reserve said it would likely keep its Fed funds rate at near zero through 2013 to help the ailing U.S. economy.

Today’s Birthdays: Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Cousy is 84. Tennis Hall of Famer Rod Laver is 74. Jazz musician Jack DeJohnette is 70.

Comedian-director David Steinberg is 70. Boxing Hall-of-Famer Ken Norton is 69. Actor Sam Elliott is 68. Singer Barbara Mason is 65. Actress Melanie Griffith is 55. Actress Amanda Bearse is 54.

Actor Pat Petersen is 46. Pro and College Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is 45. Actress Gillian Anderson is 44. Actor Eric Bana is 44. TV anchor Chris Cuomo is 42. Actor Thomas Lennon is 42. Rock musician Arion Salazar is 42. Rapper Mack 10 is 41. Actress Nikki Schieler Ziering is 41. Latin rock singer Juanes is 40. Actress Liz Vassey is 40. Actress Rhona Mitra is 37.

interstate highway traffic, trucks and blind spots.

— How to safely use anti-lock brakes, air bags and safety belts.

The course is tailored towards the ages of 55 and over, however, is open to everyone. There are sixteen seats available. The AARP Driver Safety Program is $12 for AARP members, $14 for non-members and $5 for all teachers and school personnel (active and retired).

PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth State University’s Museum of the White Mountains (MWM) has received two more rare and significant additions that will be added for display. The new collection includes a variety of White Mountains art by female artists, from Frances ‘Dolly’ MacIntyre and also the collection of antiquities from the Balsams Grand Resort Hotel, from the former hotel General Manager, Steve Barba.

“These two donations help to broaden the gender and geographic scope of the collection,” said Amidon. “Their individual commitments to collecting, and their generosity in sharing their lifetime passion, enhances the educational resources of PSU and insures we can more fully preserve and promote the heritage of our region.”

McIntyre’s collection of art produced by women artists includes dramatic mountain vistas, pastoral valley scenes, rushing rivers and waterfalls and detailed renderings of the mountain flora by a variety of artists such as Maria a’Becket, Mary Porter Bigelow, Fidelia Bridges, M.E. Loring, Martha Hayes Safford , Susan Ricker Knox, Elizabeth Galbraith MacIntyre Jewell, Martha Safford, Emily Harris Selinger and Lizzie Stevens.

“The collection is important because people don’t realize the talent and perspective of women artists of that era.”

McInyre says. “Women were doing the same good art work that men were doing, yet they have never been recognized for it. If you line the work up between men and women artists of that time — there’s no difference.

I was looking for a place that would value it for what it is, as it adds a new dimension to the art of the White Mountains. I feel that the museum would honor that and am excited to make it available to the public.”

The other generous donation was made by retired co-general manager Stephen Barba, who worked at The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel from 1959 to 2005. Founded in Dixville Notch in 1866 as the Dix House, The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel counts the legendary American statesman, Daniel Webster, as one of its earliest owners. The Balsams Grand Resort has long been regarded as one of America’s finest vacation destinations and has been recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of America’s treasured historic hotels.

“I just know that this is going to be the perfect place for my gift to complement that and to further establish a base of authenticity this museum will have,” Barba said, upon making the donation.

“There are few things that we do in life that really deserve to be perpetuated, but I believe this is one of them.”

Landscape and trunk show at the lakes gallery

MEREDITH — There’s lots of reasons to visit the lakes gallery at chi-lin this August, with two landscape and trunk show events and five more handson workshops.

This Saturday, August 11, form 5-7 p.m., the August Landscape Exhibition opens with Alec Richardson showing his oils—both traditional landscapes and magical, old master looking new work—as well as his recent oil on paper work, rich and full of movement.

Lauren Olitski will be showing exciting, new large acrylic lakescapes, and Sandy Wadlington her pastels of the countryside.

On Thursday, August 23, from 5-7 p.m., the August Landscape Exhibition continues with the opening of Patricia Burson’s oils during the Meredith Galleries Art Evening, and two trunk shows featuring exquisite jewelry pieces by Marcia Gintzler, “Pearls near Jade,” and the introduction of the non-profit, “Flying Scarfs,” beautiful hand made beaded wool & pashmina scarfs to support Afghani war widows.

The lakes gallery is located at 17 Lake Street, at the corner of Main Street, and is open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Tuesdays through Saturday, Sunday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. Call 279-8663 for additional information.
