Prolonged low interest rates challenge earnings of local banks

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “This is unprecedented in modern history,” said Mark Primeau, president and chief executive officer of Laconia Savings Bank (LSB).

“No one has ever faced this economic environment before.”

Primeau was referring to the prolonged mix of interest rates near zero, slack demand for loans, steady growth of deposits and low yields on investments that combines to squeeze the earnings of community banks.

When Ben Bernanke, chair-

man of the Federal Reserve, announced he intended to keep interest near zero through the middle of 2013, Camden R. Fine, president of the Independent Community Bankers of America, squealed like a stuck pig. “How are community banks supposed to make a

viable margin on their funds?” he asked.

For community banks, like LSB, Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) and Franklin Savings Bank (FSB) that serve the Lakes Region, interest income, the difference, or see BaNKs page 10

BELMONT — It came as a sad surprise to one Belmont mother who, after taking her children to their first day of school, learned there would be no more after school homework club.

For Angela Potter (not her real name), the parent of one elementary and one middle school child, the elimination of the after-school programs is unacceptable.

“I just can’t believe it,” she said.

“How can the schools not have a homework club, a student council, or a yearbook?”

The short answer is money.

Bridge to Loon Mtn., damaged

by Irene, collapses

CONCORD (AP) — One of the main bridges into a resort in Lincoln collapsed Wednesday, even as crews worked across northern New Hampshire to assess damage to roads from Tropical Storm Irene.

The bridge to Loon Mountain had been damaged by high waters from the storm. Inspectors hoped to repair the damage within a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, the resort is open and can be reached using the “South Peak Resort” entrance in Lincoln.

The state Emergency Operations Center said seven state routes and 95 local roads remain damaged. Among them are Route 49 in Waterville Valley and Thornton; Route 302 at the Sawyer’s River Bridge area; and the Kancamagus Highway from Lincoln to Bear Notch Road.

Gov. John Lynch said transportation crews are repairing roads or setting up detours and alternate routes where necessary.

A Gadhafi son vows no surrender to Libyan rebels TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Two men claiming to be Moammar Gadhafi’s sons made conflicting appeals from hiding Wednesday night, with one of them calling for talks with rebel leaders and the other urging the regime’s loyalists to fight to the death.

The dueling messages reflected the growing turmoil in Gadhafi’s inner circle on the eve of the 42nd anniversary of his rise to power. This year, the dictator is a fugitive from opposition fighters who have seized

most of the country in a six-month civil war.

Now, they say they’re hot on his trail.

The rebels are pooling tips about Moammar Gadhafi’s whereabouts from captured regime fighters and others, and believe he is most likely no longer in Tripoli, said Abdel Hakim Belhaj, the rebels’ military chief in the capital.

Rebel forces have been advancing toward three regime strongholds: the town of Sirte, Gadhafi’s hometown, as well as

the towns of Bani Walid and Sabha, the latter hundreds of miles south of the capital of Tripoli.

There has been speculation that Gadhafi is hiding in one of them.

In telephone calls to Arab TV stations within minutes of each other Wednesday night, two men claiming to be Gadhafi’s sons sent messages to the Libyan people.

Swollen river begin falling across Vermont & other Northeast states KILLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Swollen rivers began falling Wednesday in much of the Northeast, allowing relief crews to reach the last of the tiny Vermont towns that had been entirely cut off from help by Hurricane Irene’s fast-moving floodwaters.

The receding water eased the flooding that had paralyzed parts of the region and revealed more damage to homes, farms and businesses across the flood-scarred landscape. Repair estimates indicated that

the storm would almost certainly rank among the nation’s costliest natural disasters, despite packing a lighter punch than initially feared.

Of the 11 towns that had been severed from the outside world, the final one to be reached by rescuers was tiny Wardsboro, a village of 850 residents in the Green Mountains. The community is little more than a post office and some houses standing along Route 100, a highway popular in

the fall with tourists searching out autumn colors.

Gov. Peter Shumlin said the previously isolated communities all have vehicle access now, though some require four-wheel drive to get there.

The National Guard continued to ferry supplies to mountain towns that had no electricity, no telephone service and limited transportation in or out. Helicopters see RIVERS page 14

Screw up & move up There are now enough Operation Fast and Furious officials playing hide-and-seek in the Obama administration to fill a “rubber room.”

That’s the nickname for taxpayersubsidized holding pens, such as the ones in the New York City public schools, where gone-wrong employees are separated from the system and paid to do nothing. Perhaps the White House can stimulate a few construction jobs by adding an entire rubber room annex for “reassigned” scandal bureaucrats at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It’s getting mighty crowded.

On Tuesday, the Justice Department announced it was shuffling Kenneth Melson, acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, out of his job. The disclosure comes amid continued GOP investigations into the administration’s fatally botched straw gun purchase racket at the border and spreading outrage over legal obstructionism and whistleblower retaliation by DOJ brass.

The DOJ inspector general is also conducting a probe.

Internal documents earlier showed that Melson was intimately involved in overseeing the program and screened undercover videos of thousands of straw purchases of AK-47s and other high-powered rifles — many of which ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartel thugs, including those who murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry last December. Fast and Furious weapons have been tied to at least a dozen violent crimes in America and untold bloody havoc in Mexico.

In secret July 4 testimony, Melson revealed he was “sick to his stomach” when he discovered the extent of the operation’s deadly lapses. Join the club, pal.

Melson told congressional investigators that he and ATF’s senior leadership “moved to reassign every manager involved in Fast and Furious, from the deputy assistant director for field operations down to the group supervisor” after ATF whistleblowers went to the press and Capitol. But according to Melson, he and company were ordered by Justice Department higher-ups to remain silent about the reasons for the reassignments.

In other words: the ATF managers in the know were “effectively muzzled while the DOJ sent over false denials and buried its head in the sand,” as GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Sen. Charles Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Com-

mittee, concluded in July.

Melson has been kicked back to DOJ’s main office in a flabbergasting new slot as “senior adviser on forensic science in the department’s Office of Legal Policy.” He may have been “sick to his stomach,” but the federal careerist apparently has no intention of quitting an administration with blood on its hands. And now he’ll be advising others on how to track and handle evidence. Nice make-work if you can get it.

Others on the Fast and Furious dance card of lemons: — Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory Hurley in Phoenix, who helped oversee the straw gun purchase disaster. He’s being transferred out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s criminal division and into the civil division.

— Assistant ATF Special Agents in Charge George Gillett and Jim Needles. Moved to other positions.

— BATF deputy director of operations in the West, William McMahon. Promoted to ATF headquarters.

— ATF Phoenix field supervisors William Newell and David Voth.

Promoted to new management positions in Washington.

Keep your friends close and your henchmen on the verge of spilling all the beans closer.

There’s been only one visible Fast and Furious resignation: U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke in Phoenix, who quietly stepped down on Tuesday.

One of his last acts? Opposing the request of murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s family to qualify as crime victims in a court case against the thug who bought the Fast and Furious guns used in Terry’s murder.

The fish rots from the head down, of course. DOJ is run by Eric Holder, the Beltway swamp creature who won bipartisan approval for his nomination — even after putting political interests ahead of security interests at the Clinton Justice Department in both the Marc Rich pardon scandal and the Puerto Rican FALN terrorist debacle. Remember: Holder won over the Senate by arguing that his poor judgment made him more qualified for the job.

Screw up, move up, cover up: It’s the Holder way, the Obama way, the Washington way. And innocent Americans pay.

LETTERS Do you think it’s the rich or the poor who are demanding services?

To the editor, There seems to be a little confusion with an editorial statement that I made in reference to the 45-percent of adults in this country who do not pay any taxes. Mr. Allard immediately took this out of context to completely ignore the subject matter in the discussion. Since we were discussing the “federal” debt crisis and Obama’s insistence to raise “federal” income taxes on the rich, to get them to “pay their fair share”, I figured even he could connect the dots. Fact is, only the highest 1-percent of the nation’s earners pay nearly ALL the “federal income taxes” while 45--percent pay nothing. This is not a myth; it’s simply a matter of fact.

Subsequently, another letter writer correctly reiterates Allard’s “off topic” rant that everyone pays consumption taxes on a wide variety of things. Since you brought it up, let’s dig deeper into where those taxes come from. Nearly all of these taxes are collected for state, county and local taxes needed to fund those respective governments and the array of services they provide.

Do you think it’s the “rich” who are demanding all these services? How about the poor, do you think they are demanding these services? No and no!

It’s actually those like Mr. Allard, Mr. Sandy and their beloved government worker unions who are demanding these services. Sure they claim they are doing it on behalf of “the children”, “the poor” and “the disadvantaged”.

The reality is that if they couldn’t get

paid to do it, they wouldn’t care a whit about any of those people. When the budgets that provide them with their funds are threatened, who shows up at the budget meeting to complain?

Definitely not the people they claim to serve. The only time the “poor” show up is when the alleged service providers drag them out as props. When a new school program is proposed, who comes out to the budget process to support the new spending? It’s definitely not the parents. It’s always the teachers and administrators who make the most noise because it is they who stand to gain the most.

When states started finally reigned in the ridiculous spending, who stampeded the capitals? Was it the “rich” or the “needy”? No, it was the union thugs.

When the state cut all the wasted hospital programs, did the patients complain? Once again, a resounding NO! Even on the local level, was it the four or five spectators who enjoy listening to the Gilford Community Band who demanded the restoration of the cut band funding? Again no, it was the greedy band members themselves who demanded their money.

Yes it’s true that everyone pays an array of consumption taxes and the poor are most adversely affected however it’s not the rich who are to blame.

It’s the continued growth of government perpetuated by the “service providers” who keep promoting “free” services that guarantee their jobs.

Terry Stewart Gilford

If you suffered damage from Irene you should call state at 211 To the editor, All private property owners who suffered property damage related to Tropical Storm Irene should collect as much information on the damage as they can and report it by calling 211 New Hampshire.

Written estimates from contractors, bills for actual expenditures, photographs – any records that may be used to establish the amount of losses should be retained.

Reporting losses to 211 will help the state determine the extent of damage

state officials in applying for federal disaster assistance.

There is no guarantee that the state will receive assistance for private property damage, which is known as Individual Assistance. If it is granted, property owners will have to report the same information a second time, to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

If you suffered damage from Hurricane Irene you should call the State at 211.

LETTERS Liberals just throw out opinions & expect us to accept them as fact To the editor, Well, well, am I impressed this Saturday morning reading Leo R. Sandy’s letter. The man has obviously missed a possible calling of a lifetime. His back peddling is right up there with NFL all-pro cornerbacks. Just think what might have been in his younger years with a skill like that.

Now really professor, let me say I read your column very closely and I’m pretty sure Bob Meade did too. You clearly stated that MINORITY’S COULD NOT BE RACIST. That was as clear as a cloudless sky. You gave one of your convoluted, contorted rationals which didn’t hold any more water then a can with both ends cut off. Now, after several letters condemning your reasoning and conclusions you are again scrambling to try to regain some modicum of credibility. Too late!

If readers are wondering just how the professor keeps getting himself stuck in these tar pits illogic, it’s simple. The man works from his

wanted conclusion backwards inventing “facts” of retrieving scraps off the Internet from other equally flawed contributors. He has been doing this for years and as Bob Meade points out, this guy is teaching our youth. Anyone who doesn’t see a problem there really isn’t paying attention.

I also noticed this week that Ed Allard had a few questionable things to say which he didn’t support with any references to them. Funny how liberals just throw out all kinds of opinions and wish-it-wases and expect people to accept them as facts. Something the left has done for decades. Once again, in contrast, Bob Meade has countered Ed’s assertions with facts and given references for readers to check their validity for themselves. Something not uncommon by the right writers.

Get out the coffee boys, PCs and the Internet are here and you can’t get away with that stuff any more.

Professor Sandy should be taken to the woodshed on this one. . .

To the editor, I see that Professor Sandy thinks I should pay more attention. Of course I subscribe to that. What I don’t subscribe to though, is the professor attempting to mitigate what he wrote; no slight of hand allowed.

To his point on racism, this is actually what he wrote in his column: “. . .the major issue of power that is related to wealth and control and is at the heart of racism. Thus, racism is something mainly associated with the dominant race whose members want to preserve power . . ..” The Professor continued, “Therefore, members of a minority race cannot be racist because the hold little or no power.”

Then, in the following paragraph, the professor proceeds to give a pass to Reverend Wright (his name is Jeremiah professor, not James), stating, that. . .’he has been inaccurately been called a racist when he is mainly holding up a mirror to the white power

structure . . . “ Professor Sandy then used about half of his column discussing the various aspects of racism, and he cited W. Cross (Dr. William Cross of Penn State University) who had developed the fivestage model. Sandy should be taken to the woodshed on this one for a couple of reasons. First, although he cited Dr. Cross, he did not put anything in quotes so we readers don’t know if we’re reading Cross or Sandy. Next, the stages developed by Dr. Cross don’t even come close to what Professor Sandy was saying in the first part of his article.

Cross was providing an introspective look at what young black people might feel as they were entering and growing into society.

Now, is that enough “attention” for you professor?

Professor Sandy teaches our children.

I’m proud of the commitment our staff showed to our patients To the editor, Hurricane Irene left damage and destruction in her wake as she swept through New Hampshire last weekend. For me, Irene served as an important reminder of the power of our community and the commitment of our staff at Genesis Behavioral Health. From the moment the first alerts went out, our team sprang into action, ensuring our patients had enough supplies, contacts and supports to meet their needs during a disaster. Kudos to our clinical teams for their outreach on Friday — and throughout the weekend — to make sure our patients were safe throughout the event, particularly those in Plymouth who were affected by the floods in that region.

We are keenly aware that our work at Genesis Behavioral Health is just one piece in a well-oiled machine.

Together with the Department of Health and Human Services, DBHRT,

the Community Emergency Response Team of the Lakes Region (CERT), Laconia Fire Department, Belknap County Sheriff Department, local law enforcement, hospitals and Plymouth State University, we met the needs of those who were, or could have been, affected by the severe weather we experienced. Our community is fortunate to have the expertise of these committed individuals, many of whom are volunteers.

I am grateful that the damage was not as great as we feared, though many did suffer. I am also, however, quite grateful to work with such a phenomenal team of people. My staff, who selflessly focus on the safety and well-being of our patients, and the many community members and colleagues who did and continue to do the same, are deserving of everyone’s thanks and praise.

A

young hound girl, left to wander in Center Harbour – in spite of her collar, she has never been claimed. New Hampshire Humane Society staff called this full of life dog Taffy, she’s sweet after all.

Her behavior evaluation showed quickly how smart she is, and discovered along with her huge capacity to play and have fun with humans, just how many commands she knows. Taffy’s repertoire includes High Five, Shake, Dance, and the required Sit, Stay, Down: proving to competent dog lovers everywhere that someone spent time with Taffy and taught her plenty.

She is a jovial dog, personable and friendly around other dogs, as befits her hound personality. She likely would forget her composure around cats, too much temptation to

chase them up the nearest tree – but she will make an energetic family with older children a great family pet.

Naturally we are going to say she is about two years old … the promise of many years of companionship a given in

her case.

For more information why not stop in and take Taffy for a walk. Shelter is open Tuesday/Thursday/Friday/ Saturday.

To the editor, I write in response to Daniel Lance: Daniel, please let me try to respond to the points in your letter. First, your list of questions is really a list of advocacy statements. They are rhetorical devices intended to lead a reader to a conclusion. They are not intended to actually being answered are they?

Question 1. “Why has no one mentioned cutting foreign aid?” The answer is you have not been paying attention.

Many people have talked about cutting spending of all types, foreign aid included. The unfortunate reality is that our elected officials have not as yet taken the call for reduced spending for action in any meaningful way.

Question 2. “What about spending for the military?” What are you intending to ask? Are you wishing for more military spending or less? Did you even listen to the talking heads explanation of the debt ceiling agreement? Half of all cuts will come from defense if the Super Congress does not act to make considered cuts.

Question 3. “If we had or are having an illegal war, how come it hasn’t been stopped?” Exactly which military action are you asking about?

(Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, or is there another you find objectionable?) Why do you seem to suspect that your war of choice is illegal? Can you narrow the advocacy request a little?

Question 4. “Why do politicians attack the poor and elderly, the unemployed and the working man?”

The short answer is that they don’t.

Have you even looked at the budget?

Do you understand that we are $14,500,000,000,000 in debt? Do you

understand that just to pay the interest on the debt costs $.42 of every tax dollar? No one wants to toss grammy under the bus, starve the unemployed or tread on all working class people.

There is a difference between being mean for mean’s sake and recognizing that we can’t spend money that we do not have. Total governmental spending needs to be curtailed because we are broke. That means hard priority decisions are going to have to be made. Change is required not because any one wants those changes, rather the situation we find ourselves in is one where we don’t have any money to pay for the things we might like to do.

Heck, we do not have money for the things that need to get done.

Question 5. “Why let American soldiers die on foreign land for oil?” You are assuming facts not in evidence.

You are correctly observing that American soldiers are dying on foreign soil.

You are however also stating that the reason we are on foreign soil is due to oil. Where did you get your evidence for that assertion? Iraq has not paid reparations. Afghanistan has no oil, and Libya is a NATO operation. I’m not sure we are enriching ourselves on the spoils of war or why you would think that. If that assertion were true why would our debt be so high? You seem to be saying that we are trading blood for oil. On its face the argument seems without merit but I could be missing something.

Just another view of your advocacy questions Daniel. Remember to vote early and vote often.

Racism & bigotry, while related, are not at all the same thing To the editor, First, I would like to thank Leo Sandy for his excellent column on racism. “Racism” is not simple “bigotry.” Racism is systemic and about power. Even the most bigoted are not really practicing full-fledged “racism” unless they have the political and socio-economic power to act on that bigotry. Otherwise, they are simply bigots. While I agree with Steve Earle that Louis Farrakhan is a repugnant anti-Semite, I am not sure he is a racist. Racism and bigotry, while related, are not the same thing.

Even people of “good will” who do not dislike anyone can still participate in “racism” if they support and defend socio-political systems that allow one group to exercise power over another.

I think of the “nice” American Southerners and the “good” white South Africans who “liked blacks” and even paid them well but, who, nevertheless supported the Jim Crow and Apartheid systems.

Second, I notice that many on the right get offended when people suggest that there may be elements of racism or bigotry in their movements. While nobody thinks that the majority of American conservatives are consciously “racist” or even bigoted, many get mad at the suggestion that the problem

exists at all. I understand why: “racist” is an ugly word because racism is ugly.

Unfortunately, it is an ugly reality that has an ugly history in America. That history was not made up by “liberal academics.” From slavery to sharecropping to the present, many white Americans have benefited from racism.

The Emancipation Proclamation did not end racism or bigotry. Neither did the Civil Rights Movement. I realize I am concentrating on African-Americans but throughout our history, other groups have faced similar struggles.

I am not saying that progress has not been made but we still have a way to go.

Currently, we have a president who identifies as an African-American. He also has a “foreign-sounding” name.

Some “angry white guys” resent that he was constitutionally elected president. So, they perpetuate a “Big Lie” that he is not a native-born U.S. citizen. They even perpetuate the lie that he is a “traitor” and a radical Muslim. Since no other president has had to put up with this and because it is treating a black man differently with the intention of denigrating him and maintaining white supremacy in the political system, is it not a “racist” urban myth?

LETTERS This is just the beginning of the American health care train wreck To the editor, Nothing should scare the hell out of the less fortunate more than hearing Democrats are promising them a new bauble to buy their vote. When the poor hear BIG ALTRUISTIC promises from DEMOCRATS they should cover and run as FAST and FAR as their legs will carry them. Nothing but an economic train wreck is waiting for them on the backside of the promise.

It happens OVER and OVER. The downtrodden, desperate for any straw, fall prey to Democrats like lemmings.

Democrats use their power over them like pied pipers to selfishly fulfill their political ambitions. The poor and the meek are merely SEEN and USED as pawns in their quest for political power. They see Hispanics, Blacks and the less fortunate Caucasians as nothing more than clay to be molded into political chess pieces.

We now wallow in the worst recession of the last six 60 years for one reason only. Why? BIG ALTRUISM to provide homes to the tens of millions of less fortunate who were denied them because they NEVER had JOBS, INCOME or an adequate DOWN PAYMENT to qualify to own one. Big ALTRUISM all-star Ted Kennedy and other Democrats endlessly demonized bankers, lenders and Wall Street for decades that they were intentionally and HEARTLESSLY discriminating against the poor regarding home ownership. After decades of logical resistance to these screams GOVERNMENT LOWERED THE QUALIFICATIONS that lenders could use to dole out mortgages.

Meaning anyone breathing, with job or with out, with income or without, and with down payment or without, could own a home. BIG ALTRUISM had been promised to political pawns and at long last delivered. Ted Kennedy had won and won big with BIG ALTRUISM for the poor.

Within THREE short years after the flood gates of BIG ALTRUISM housing charity had been opened tens of millions of Americans who got homes without money and without a job were being PHYSICALLY TOSSED OUT of them, trillions in home values were being erased from bank balance sheets, with trillions more to go. The nation had been jolted into a severe recession with 25-million people unemployed or under

employed and the retirement pension savings of every American from rich to poor had been DECIMATED. Further, BIG housing ALTRUISM has led to a world wide financial and banking meltdown.

America has a very short memory.

Think OBAMACARE. Think BIG ALTRUISM one more time. Free health care for the poor is going to destroy the health care industry in America the same EXACT WAY no job and no down payment mortgages destroyed the housing industry. It has now been widely reported that as many as one in 10 medium to large sized employers across America are ALREADY considering DUMPING health care for their employees in 2014 forcing people on to state run exchanges where it is believed TAXPAYERS will now start to absorb health care costs for tens of millions of people.

This is just the beginning of the health care train wreck. Obama has been asked countless times to let up on the health care pedal but he refuses to. Politics first. Big Democratic health care ALTRUISM will not end any different or prettier than the homes for the less fortunate debacle did. Costs WILL NOT BE REDUCED a dime but AVAILABILITY SURE WILL and RATIONED by simply being UNAVAILABLE. Massachusetts proves this. Already on an Obamacare look alike, it has the highest health insurance costs of any state in the country and availability of care especially for seniors is already scarce.

Thousands of doctors in Mass already refuse Medicare and Medicaid patients because they are inadequately compensated and are overwhelmed with patients, many seeking free care. All I can say is I hope the U.S. Supreme Court saves our bacon, otherwise we are all headed for the toilet one more time. Governor John Lynch’s views on Obamacare? He has ZERO. The biggest crisis facing N.H. and governor Lynch is brain dead. When a sitting Democratic governor cannot show enthusiasm toward the biggest Democratic program in modern history there is only one conclusion. IT IS PURE CRAP. DON’T YOUR JUST LOVE BIG DEMOCRATIC ALTRUISM? Tony Boutin Gilford

In Alton, teacher contract debate about test scores this time, not about the money

By Michael Kitch

the pay of veteran employees at the step on the salary schedule they reached on June 30 and of those appointed after July 1 at the step at which they are hired. All 47 employees would receive a one-time payment equal to one-percent of their salary, which would not be incorporated into the salary schedule or included in any employee’s compensation after 20111-2012.

The hourly rate for time spent serving on committees would be trimmed from 3.75-percent of the base teacher’s salary in the prior contract to one-percent, which the school board calculated would save $2,358.

Although budgeted at $750, the longevity stipend, which applies to five positions, would be set at $500.

The School Board pegged the new cost of the contract at $23, 523, $12,492 less than that the $36,015 price tag of the original agreement voters rejected in March.

Although the Budget Committee unanimously

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

ALTON — In opening its fourth bid to win approval of a new collective bargaining agreement with the Alton Teachers’ Association the School Board found itself pitted against the Budget Committee over the performance of the teaching staff at sparsely attended deliberative session of a special school district meeting on Tuesday night.

The second session will be held on October 4, when voters go to the polls for the fourth time in two years to cast their ballots on a proposed contract.

Voters twice rejected proposed contracts last year and in March rejected a fresh agreement on a tie vote of 424 to 424, but also approved a warrant article authorizing a special school district meeting to take another bite of the apple.

Last month the school and teachers’ union reached agreement on a one-year contract that would freeze

endorsed the original contract presented in March, it recommended against the revised agreement by a vote of four-to-two, with Marc DeCoff and Linda Goossens, the School Board representative in the minority.

After Goossens opened the deliberative session by highlighting the cost items in the contract, Steve Miller stepped to the podium “speaking for the Budget Committee.” He began reading from a lengthy letter expressing his misgivings about the contract that appeared that morning in The Laconia Daily Sun and earlier in The Baysider. Almost at once he was interrupted by David St. Cyr, who with copies of the newspapers in hand, protested that he was not speaking for the committee, but offering his personal opinion.

On a supportive show of hands from members of the Budget Committee, save for Goossens, and DeCoff, who was absent, the moderator allowed Miller to continue.

Although Miller challenged the calculations of the School Board, he declared “this isn’t about $23,000.

It’s about sending a message.” From his letter he read that the teachers were asking for more pay “after generating the worst annual performance of the Alton Central School in the history that state elementary and middle school comparisons have existed. The school board wants us to believe,” he continued, “the new teachers’ mantra, ‘the worse you do, the more you are worth.’”

Citing standardized test score data presented by SchoolDigger.com, Miller claimed that in 2011 Alton Central School ranked 204th among the 222 elementary schools in the state, 24 places lower than the year before. While the middle school ranked 75th among 108, he said that the entire district stood 133rd among 141, “in the bottom six-percent of the state.”

“Why does the school board insist that we continue to throw our hard earned tax dollars into a growing black hole?” Miller asked.

“What’s your alternative,” asked Bob Longabaugh.

“Would you reduce their salaries?”

Miller replied that he would “change the contract for the betterment of the kids” by providing incentives for their teachers, who should be evaluated every year. see next page

Vander Hooven leaving LRCC for top job at Arizona college LACONIA — Dr. James Vander Hooven, vice president of Student Affairs at Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) has announced that he has accepted the position of president of Tohono O’odham Community College (TOCC) in Sells, Arizona. Vander Hooven’s last day at LRCC will be Monday, October 3, and he will commence duties as TOCC President on Monday, October 31.

“I am very excited and honored by this opportunity,” says Vander Hooven. “I will miss the friends I have made here in Laconia the most. My family and I will have to get used to a much hotter climate! I’ll

miss the snow, believe it or not.”

TOCC is a tribally controlled college located in Sells, Arizona, about 50 miles southwest of Tucson. “The college focuses on developing a strong workforce among the Tohono O’odham Nation,” said Vander Hooven. “It also offers transfer programs for students interested in pursuing their Bachelor’s degrees.”

During Vander Hooven’s four years at LRCC, he has worked closely with several community initiatives through the United Way and Human Relations Committee. He was also the president of the Board of the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region.

MERGER from page 2 AT&T has several incentives to take up a legal fight with regulators. In court, the burden is on the Justice Department — not AT&T — to show that the combination would harm competition. If the deal doesn’t go through, the company will be forced to pay T-Mobile a $3 billion break-up fee and give it some wireless spectrum rights.

AT&T said it will ask for an expedited court hearing “so the enormous benefits of this merger can be fully reviewed.”

In a statement, T-Mobile’s owner, the German

company Deutsche Telekom, said it is disappointed by the Justice Department’s action and “will join AT&T in defending the contemplated merger.”

The companies could wage a strong defense in court.

Morgan Reed, executive director of the trade group, Association for Competitive Technology, said AT&T has at least one key fact on its side: Deutsche Telekom has said it does not plan to continue to invest in upgrading the T-Mobile network to deliver faster wireless. That means, “T-Mobile is not a competitor anymore,” Reed said.

from preceding page Countering for the School Board, Krista Argiropolis also read from a letter sent to the newspapers. She reminded Miller, who described the school budget as “bloated and poorly managed,” that the Budget Committee endorsed it in March, along with the town budget that included a 2.8-percent cost of living adjustment for employees, both which voters rejected.

Likewise, noting that the Budget Committee also recommended the teachers’ contract in March, Argiropolis said that what changed between then and now was the publication of test results. She discounted the rankings by SchoolDigger, which she said were based solely on third and fourth grade test scores and questioned why six of the websites top schools in the state fell short of “adequate yearly progress” (AYP), as measured by the No Child Left

Behind Act, either this year or last.

Argiropolis acknowledged that Alton Central School failed to make AYP in 2011, but said this was only the second time since the law was enacted in 2001. She stressed that the school board has prepared a plan to address shortcomings and improve test results. Moreover, she pointed out that 70-percent of the schools in New Hampshire failed to make AYP and challenged the method of measuring the achievement of students.

The 35 registered voters, barely one-percent of the electorate, in attendance were divided. Some applauded Miller when he urged “don’t accept mediocrity” and others Argiropolis when she scolded him for continuing “his diatribe about the School District considering all of the correct information he has been privy to over the years.”

Next meeting for LHS Reunion Project set for Sept. 8; reunion itself will be Sept. 30 LACONIA — With the date for the Laconia High School Reunion Project set for Homecoming on Sept. 30, the committee behind the effort is set to tackle the details at their Sept. 8 meeting.

The Laconia High School Reunion Project was the brain child of Judge Jim Carroll, Lakes Region Scholarship Fund Director Joan Cormier and John Lahey and all of the proceeds will go to support Laconia’s donation to the scholarship fund.

The committee is recommending a $10 cover charge that includes an alumni dance and finger food in the Laconia High School Cafe.

Since it was founded in 1956, the foundation has awarded $4.143-million in scholarships to nearly 4,000 Lakes Region residents, primarily from

Laconia, Belmont and Gilford. Some of Laconia’s individual alumni classes also have endowed money for the scholarship fund and envelopes for donations will be available at the reunion.

Yearbooks and school photos from each decade will be displayed around the cafe at the school and organizers are looking to provide cars for LHS graduates who choose not to walk during the Homecoming Parade.

Following the football game against John Stark Regional High School (Weare), the High School Marching Band will escort the alumni into the school.

Anyone wishing to help out with the Laconia High School Reunion Project is urged to contact Janet Brough at 5245910 or jbrough@laconiak12.nh.us.

BANKS from page one spread, between the rate they pay for deposits and the rate they charge for loans, represents the bulk of their earnings. As households have shed debt, trimmed spending and increased savings, banks have become flush with deposits.

But, neither households nor businesses are eager to borrow. The most recent survey of more than 1,800 small business owners by the National Federation of Independent Business reported that 92-percent found their credit needs were being met and more than half were not seeking to borrow.

Less than a third said they borrowed regularly, the lowest share on record.

Primeau, together with his counterparts, Sam Laverack at MVSB and Jeff Savage at FSB, acknowledged that demand for loans could be stronger, but stressed the New Hampshire economy is more buoyant than most. Moreover, they all emphasized that their institutions remain profitable and, above all, are very well capitalized.

“Loan demand is okay,” Laverack said, noting that during the summer residential mortgage lending exceeded expectations and commercial borrowing remained steady, although he was surprised to see many small businesses making purchases with cash.

“But,” he continued, “I don’t have a warm and fuzzy feeling that it’s going to continue.”

At FSB, Savage was more upbeat.

“Business lending has been a source of growth and we’re seeing more activity,” he said. “We’ve just finished our budget for the coming fiscal year beginning on October 1 and we’re projecting a good year.” The bank, he said, “is in an extremely liquid position,” referring to its relative abundance of deposits, “but not uncomfortably so.” Yet he conceded “I do wish things

were were different.”

Primeau and Laverack are less sanguine, explaining that without robust demand for loans, banks must turn to investments in financial instruments — stocks and bonds — in search of earnings. And even in the best of times, the return from loans tops the yield on investments. “We have to work to get yields in a difficult, dangerous environment,” Primeau said.

“It requires an exceedingly careful investment strategy.”

“Rates will go back up. It’s not a matter of if but when,” Primeau said.

The risk, he explained, was saddling the bank with investments with relatively low fixed rates and relatively long terms then having to pay more for deposits when interest rates rose.

“It’s a mismatch,” he said. “You’re paying more for deposits than you’re getting from your investments.” Faced with the uncertain economic future, Primeau said that prudence pointed to short-term investments with lower returns but less risk. “It’s a quandary,” he said.

“Liquidity is a real challenge,” said Laverack, who agreed that “with lack of sound knowledge of where the economy is headed, we’re keeping short on our investments. Nobody knows when rates will rise,” he continued, “which puts real pressure on managing investment portfolios.”

Savage, on the other hand, said that FSB has not significantly restructured its investment portfolio. “We haven’t changed our risk posture,” he said. Instead, he emphasized that the bank was booking income from fee income as well as insurance and brokerage services that supplement its balance sheet.

All three bankers agreed that sharply rising costs of compliance in response to closer regulation of financial institutions in the wake of the near meltdown on Wall Street add to pressures on earnings. “Compliance is a killer,” said Laverack. “Overhead comes right off the bottom line.” Primeau said that the regulatory burden has not only grown but also become more onerous. “The problems did not originate with the community banks,” he remarked, “but we are made to pay the price.”

Primeau echoed a strong sentiment among community bankers that current monetary and regulatory favor Wall Street at their expense. Writing in the Washington Post, Fine of the Independent Community Bankers of America, pointed out that unlike community banks, the behemoths of Wall Street turn their profits by applying large volumes of money to trading operations and reaping lavish fees from complex financial transactions. With low interest rates, he said, Wall Street is “getting see next page

Political support for fire chief’s talk of reopening Winnisquam station is lukewarm, at best

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — The town’s fire chief told selectmen last week that he has been listening to other fire chiefs about the possible reopening of the former Winnisquam Fire Station in Belmont but that having another town take the role of firstresponder in parts of Sanbornton would not be his first choice.

Draft minutes of the Selectmen’s Aug. 24 meeting indicate Chief Paul Dexter Jr. told selectmen the proposed coverage area for Winnisquam receives less than 25-percent of his total run volume and it would be his suggestion to use any available money to improve Sanbornton’s own facilities.

Draft minutes reflect that Selectman Karen Ober asked him why, other than a “change in the regime”, would this be discussed again.

Town Administrator Bob Veloski said Tuesday that the Sanbornton selectmen are willing to look at the numbers but, like Belmont selectmen, are not ready to sit town at an elected-official level and talk about the issue. Veloski also noted that any decision would have to go before annual town meeting in May of 2012. from preceding page free money . . . to make baskets of money.” He called the Fed’s policy “a backdoor bailout for the Wall Street mega-banks and investment houses” and “the back of the hand for the community banks.”

Both Primeau and Laverack acknowledged that protracted pressure on earnings would slow the growth of capital. “It’s a question of profitability,” said Laverack, who explained that as mutual institutions, without shareholders clamoring for greater profits and higher dividends, the community banks were not driven to take risks to boost earnings.

Primeau agreed that with earnings under pressure, the growth of capital will slow, adding that for

Dexter said Belmont Chief Dave Parenti, who received permission from the Bemont Board of Selectmen to analyze some numbers but nothing else on Monday night, and Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Brad Ober had both reached out to him to participate in some chief-level discussions.

In Parenti’s presentation to selectmen, he said the Belmont Fire Department’s response times to the Winnisquam section of his town are between 10 and 11 minutes and are longer than he would like to see.

Parenti recommended activating what would be Belmont Fire Station 2, located near the Mosquito Bridge, under a financial agreement similar to one discussed in 2008. His recommendation is that the station be staffed by two on-call, no benefits, firefighters including one officer and be under Belmont’s command. Equipment would include an ambulance and one fire engine.

Tacitly supporting the idea is Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Brad Ober and according to Fire Commissioner Tom Gallant, the commission is willing to look at some data but not yet ready to make any kind of decision or recommendation.

“It will most likely be addressed at our next meeting,” Gallant said, noting the next scheduled meetthe banking regulators “capital is king.” He indicated that the capital position of the banks could ultimately affect their capacity to underwrite loans and make charitable contributions.

However, Laverack, Primeau and Savage all stressed that their banks are very well capitalized and positioned to withstand a period of narrowing profit margins.

Laverack said as he looked at the portraits of his predecessors on his office walls and thought of crises the bank has weathered in its 142-year history, he thought “this is different, but we’ll work hard and get through it.”

ing meeting on the subject will be on Sept. 21 at the Northfield Town Hall at 5:30 p.m.

Ober expressed the same response time concerns as Parenti, saying that because of traffic and distance, his response times to Winnisquam are not where he would like to see them.

Coverage in the Winnisquam area of all three communities has been a hot-button topic in the past with most of the concerns coming from Sanbornton’s waterfront district residents and East Tilton’s residents.

The Winnisquam Fire District disbanded in July of 2006 a short time after long-serving Chief Dick Gray retired. Kevin Nugent served as chief for a short time before the dissolution. (Gray was misidentified in Tuesday’s story.)

Formed in 1942, at the time of the dissolution it had operated for 63 years and was one of the oldest independent fire companies in the state. Under an trilateral agreement, Belmont paid 50-percent of the expenses while Sanbornton and the TiltonNorthfield Fire District taxpayers split the rest. The total annual budget as the time of dissolution was in the $55,000 range.

In its hay days, the all volunteer station was staffed by as many as 50 firefighters but in recent decades, the lack of a volunteer’s ability to leave work to respond and the advent of paid on-call professional firefighters made an independent Winnisquam Department increasing non-viable.

Half of the building is now home to the Belmont Recreation Department and Parenti said that arrangement would not change should the station be put back into active status.

He estimated the costs of operation to be around $70,000 for one half of the next fiscal year.

ratified the proposed contract last winter, the School Board rejected it two days later. Teague said he expects contract negotiations to resume in early fall.

According to Shaker Regional Business Administrator Debbie Thompson, the additional $213,870 was simply added to the bottom line of this year’s budget.

She said the main hangup of the entire budget process was the N.H. Legislature’s reassessment of the state retirement system and how the ultimate decision would effect the bottom line — information no municipalities had in time for budget development.

At the time of the March annual district meeting, Sumner Dole of the Finance Committee told the assembly the shortfall for the coming school year could be as much as $500,000.

As the summer progressed, Thompson said she anticipated a $306,000 shortfall for a 13.95 percent school district contribution. The final district contribution percentage is 11.3 percent or $176,580 — leaving about $125,000 in unallocated money in the 2012 budget.

Thompson said the School Board was made aware of the final retirement obligation at its last meeting but has yet to determine how or if the $125,000 in freed-up money will be spent.

The next Shaker Regional School District School Board meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday Sept. 8 at the Belmont High School.

SHAKER from page one one but the media attended, the board reluctantly slashed $57,548 from the co-curricular or afterschool budget, effectively eliminating stipends paid to teachers and others who supervised the homework club, the drama club and the Destination ImagiNation program.

The entire list of after-school activities eliminated by the cut was provided by the district yesterday and includes advisers stipends for two performances for high school drama and music; the high school debate team; the National Honor Society; the high school graduation coordinator; summer band; Belmont High School Student Council; and the senior, junior and sophomore class advisers.

Also eliminated are advisers for the two Belmont and Canterbury elementary and middle school student council and year book advisers; advisers for the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades; the high school and middle school math team; the two elementary school stores and the two elementary school newspapers.

Gone too are the advisers for the two elementary school ensembles; the Canterbury Elementary School highland dancing program, and the Belmont High School’s Business, French, Spanish and Computer Clubs; the high school Granite State Challenge team and the Astronomy Club.

The middle school also loses the grades five and six math team, the Computer Club and the Scrabble Club while the elementary schools lose the two music directors for drama, the garden clubs and the running clubs.

Meanwhile, despite the last minute addition by a close majority of those who attended the annual Shaker Regional School District of $213,870 for ostensibly settling the teacher’s contract dispute, teachers represented by the Shaker Regional Education Association are still working without a contract.

Atty. John Teague, who told the assembly before it passed the motion to add the money to the 2011-12 budget, that while the body could add it, the School Board would have the sole discretion of spending it.

Teague explained yesterday that state laws regarding union contracts for municipal employees require the money portions be negotiated before annual town or district meetings and presented for an up or down vote.

In cut-off Vermont town, exposed coffins & smashed house ROCHESTER, Vt. (AP) — Coffins lie exposed at the village cemetery, having popped out of the ground. Homes are reduced to what look like piles of giant matchsticks. A weathered brown house hangs precariously out over a creek, an enormous chunk of soil underneath chewed away by floodwaters.

The roads are covered with brown dirt left behind when the muddy water receded, and when a truck or car passes by, it kicks up a dust cloud like a stagecoach in a Hollywood Western.

The decking of a collapsed bridge protrudes from the White River, “R.I.P.” spray-painted on the debris.

Three days after the remnants of Hurricane Irene deluged Vermont, this little town in the Green Mountains remained in the dark and unplugged Wednesday, its 1,000 residents leaning on each other — and waiting. For food, for lights, for Internet connections, for telephones, for roads safe enough to drive in and out.

“It’s like an island,” said Penny Parrish, who owns the Skip Mart convenience store. “It’s like one of those movies, ‘Armageddon.’”

“The scary part was worrying about if we’d run out — of food, fuel — and then what?” said Amy Wildt, pushing a stroller with 2-year-old daughter Katie in it down Main Street. “The isolation is the hardest part.”

The storm hit on Sunday, surprising Rochester as it did the rest of landlocked Vermont. Floodwaters washed out sections of Route 100 — the main road through town — and rolled through the cemetery, uprooting caskets. Houses and possessions were left buried under a shroud of dried mud. A house with a brick-red roof lay on its side, as if someone had leaned his shoulder against it and tipped it over.

“We underestimated the power of this storm,” said Tim Crowley, a school principal whose 19th-century farmhouse on the edge of town was inundated with water.

It soon became clear that no one was going anywhere. The isolation bred frustration, but mostly cooperation.

“There was a few frayed tempers,” said Fire Chief Terry Severy. “I just let it go in one ear and out the other.”

People and businesses pulled together. Unable to refrigerate food, The Huntington House and The Café restaurants, the convenience store and a supermarket began giving it away. Townspeople built a plywood pedestrian footbridge over the river, replacing the lost Route 73 span so people coming from the west could park and walk over it and into town.

Dozens showed up — unsolicited — to help Crowley pull all the ruined furniture, books and appliances from his house.

With no newspapers, Internet or CNN, people are relying on one another for news from the outside world. That or driving or hiking up the mountain, to get a cellphone signal and call out.

At 1 p.m. every day, they gather in the Federated Church of Rochester — a white New England-style meetinghouse with a short steeple — for a town meeting, getting updates on the state of repair work from Vermont State Police troopers and town officials.

Four dialysis patients had to be taken out by helicopter and two other people needing medical attention were driven out Tuesday in four-wheel- drive vehicles after road crews managed to restore enough of Route 100 to make it passable for emergency vehicles.

Relief is coming in now, though. National Guard helicopters made several drops of ready-to-eat meals and blankets beginning on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, bright orange Central Vermont Public Service Corp. trucks began rolling in on the dusty road, a sign of electricity to come. It could take three more days, said Town Constable Mark Belisle.

Just the sight was heartwarming.

“When we saw the first CVPS trucks this morning, it was a sight for sore eyes,” said Crowley’s son, David Crowley.

Parrish got the town to lend him a generator and a pump so that his store’s gas pumps — out of commission without electricity — could start working again. Now, the store is selling gas in10-gallon increments to people hungry for it to use in portable generators.

Correction: T-shirt artist collaborating with Dairy Queen is Jared Aronson

Correction: Special Zumba class for juvenile diabetes research is Sept. 6

A story in our Saturday, Aug. 27 edition about a young artist teaming up with Dairy Queen in Laconia to offer the sale of T-shirts that will benefit the WLNH Children’s Auction contained a headline error. The name of the Gilford artist who designed the shirts, correct in the story itself, is Jared Aronson.

An article in our Wednesday, Aug. 31 edition about a Zumba class fundraising event at Lakes Region Dance in Center Harbor included an inaccurate date in the headline. The date of the event to raise funds in support of juvenile diabetes research, which was correct in the article itself, is Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Laconia Rotary supports Got Lunch! program with $2,200 donation The Laconia Rotary Club recently donated $2,200 to the first-year Got Lunch! program that was aimed at feeding, over the summer, hundreds of the community’s children who normally eat, either free or at a reduced price, lunch at school because of their family’s modest means. It was estimated it would take $110 to provide wholesome lunches to one child over the 11-week period of the program so the Rotary donation represented support for 20 kids. Accepting the check from Rotary President Diane LaBrie (right) on behalf of Got Lunch? were Stan Brallier and Rev. Paula Gile. (Courtesy photo)

RIVERS from page 2 arrived with food, blankets, tarps and drinking water.

In the ski resort town of Killington, residents went to the elementary school for free hot dogs and corn on the cob. Jason and Angela Heaslip picked up a bag filled with peanut butter, cereal and toilet paper for their three children and three others visiting from Long Island.

“Right now, they’re getting little portions because we’re trying to make the food last,” said Jason Heaslip, who has only a dollar in his bank account because the storm has kept him from getting paid by the resort where he works.

Don Fielder, a house painter in Gaysville, said the White River roared through his house, tearing the first floor off the foundation and filling a bathroom tub with mud. He was upbeat as he showed a visitor the damage but said he’s reluctant to go into town for fear he will cry when people ask about the home he built himself 16 years ago.

Other losses include a 1957 Baldwin piano and a collection of 300 Beanie Babies amassed by his daughter, who does not live with him but has a bed-

room at his house.

“I bet that’s in the river,” he said.

Irene has been blamed for at least 45 deaths in the continental U.S., plus one in Puerto Rico and seven more in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

If that death toll stands, it would be comparable to 1999’s Hurricane Floyd, which caused 57 deaths in the U.S. and the Bahamas when it moved through the Caribbean and charged up the East Coast into New England. At the time, it was the deadliest U.S. hurricane in nearly 40 years but was later dwarfed by the 1,800 deaths caused by Katrina in 2005.

An estimate released immediately after Irene by the Kinetic Analysis Corp., a consulting firm that uses computer models to project storm losses, put the damage at $7.2 billion in eight states and Washington, D.C. That would eclipse damage from Hurricane Bob, which caused $1 billion in damage in New England in 1991 or the equivalent of about $1.7 billion today, and Hurricane Gloria, which swept through the region in 1985 and left $900 million, or the equivalent of $1.9 billion today, according to the Insurance Information Institute.

Red Sox pound their way past Yankees, 9-5

NEWFOUND FARMERS’ MARKET Every Saturday — 10am-1pm May thru October 15th Lake Street, Bristol, NH

BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury hit a tie-breaking two-run homer in the sixth inning, Josh Beckett improved to 4-0 against the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox came from behind for a 9-5 win on Wednesday night.

The Red Sox, who lost the series opener 5-2 on Tuesday night, extended their AL East lead over the Yankees to 1½ games and improved their record to 11-3 this season against their division rivals.

David Ortiz and Jason Varitek also hit two-run homers for Boston.

The Yankees scored four runs in the sixth off Beckett (12-5) — the same amount they managed in his other 32 innings against them this season — and went ahead 5-4.

In the bottom of the inning, Phil Hughes (4-5) retired the first batter. Then he went ahead of Josh Reddick 0-2 before walking him, and Reddick scored the tying run on Varitek’s double. After Marco Scutaro flied out, left-hander Boone Logan came in to face lefty Ellsbury.

On a 3-and-1 count, Ellsbury hit his 24th homer into the left-field seats above the Green Monster.

Beckett allowed four earned runs and six hits through seven innings. He struck out eight and walked three.

Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon each pitched

a scoreless inning and the Red Sox improved to 62-3 this season when leading after six.

The Yankees had taken a 1-0 lead in the third on Derek Jeter’s RBI single. The Red Sox went ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the inning, scoring on Dustin Pedroia’s groundout with runners at second and third and on Jed Lowrie’s RBI single.

Jeter got his second single in the top of the fifth, moving into 20th place all-time, ahead of Craig Biggio, with 3,061 career hits. He was left stranded.

Boston made it 4-1 in the fifth on Ortiz’s homer deep into the center field bleachers after Adrian Gonzalez singled. It was Ortiz’s 28th homer of the year and extended his hitting streak to 14 games.

The Yankees regained the lead in the sixth, helped by an error by right fielder Reddick.

Mark Teixeira was hit by a pitch leading off the inning, took second on a wild pitch by Beckett and scored on a double by Robinson Cano. Nick Swisher then walked and Eric Chavez followed with a liner down the right field line. It got by Reddick and Chavez was credited with a double. The error allowed him to take third and Swisher to score. Eduardo Nunez’s sacrifice fly put the Yankees on top 5-4.

Varitek gave the Red Sox a four-run cushion in the eighth with his 10th homer.

LOON from page 2 that they will be able to reach their New Hampshire destinations this Labor Day weekend,” Lynch said.

Lynch spent the day touring parts of northern New Hampshire, including Conway, where Fire Chief Steve Solomon said there’s been flood damage at a residential area called Transvale Acres. Solomon told WMWV-FM radio that 15 people from the area stayed at a shelter Tuesday night.

Lynch surveyed scores of modest homes with mud lines two feet up their exterior walls and their belongings and appliances heaped outside.

“I think we need to get an Army up here to help out,” he told an aide.

Local officials told Lynch that 22 people were rescued from the neighborhood by boat Sunday night.

Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are expected to start assessing damage at Transvale Acres and other neighborhoods on Thurs-

day. Residents have been asked dial 2-1-1 to report any damage to their homes. They also have been asked to report it to their local emergency management officials. This will help the state determine the extent of damage to private property and will assist state officials in applying for federal disaster assistance.

Meanwhile, the number of power outages continues to go down. As of Wednesday afternoon, about 6,640 customers still were without power, down from a high of about 175,000 homes and businesses.

There have been more than 200 storm-related injuries and one reported death.

State Sen. Jeb Bradley, an avid hiker, spent Wednesday climbing up Mount Washington with his daughter. He said trails were wet, but passable.

“The North Country is alive and well,” he said. “It would be a great time for visitors to come here; they shouldn’t stay home.”

Atty. Stanley Robinson is designated as a Federal Relief Agency by an act of Congress & has proudly assisted consumers seeking debt relief under the US Bankruptcy code for over 30 years.

LIBYA from page 2 Islam Gadhafi urged his father’s supporters to fight the rebels “day and night.” He told the Syrian-based Al-Rai TV station that residents of Bani Walid agreed that “we are going to die on our land.”

He said NATO carried out several airstrikes in Bani Walid that killed people.

“All move right now,” said Seif al-Islam, once considered the moderate face of the Gadhafi regime and the leader’s heir apparent.

“Attack the rats,” he said, referring to the rebels.

He said he was calling from a suburb of Tripoli and that his father “is fine.”

The caller dismissed comments by Belhaj that another Gadhafi son, al-Saadi, was negotiating the terms of his surrender. Seif al-Islam said his brother was under pressure, in part out of concern for his family.

In a separate phone call to the Al-Arabiya TV station, a man identifying himself as al-Saadi said he was ready to negotiate with the rebels to stop the bloodshed.

Credit Card Debt?

ADVERTORIAL

Solutions that can help you get out of debt.

Tom Hill CGA STAFF WRITER

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

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

CreditGUARD of America, a non-profit licensed debt management service provider, is making a new program available to lower debt payments and become free of all credit card debt in only three to five years. Consumers need only $2,000 or more in total credit card debt and falling behind on any account, to cut their payment by 35% to 50%, and reduce or eliminate interest charges altogether.

Over 200,000 families, located throughout the U.S. have regained financial independence with CreditGUARD’s licensed, bonded and insured service. CreditGUARD of America has received high marks in consumer surveys showing high consumer satisfaction and confidence. The CreditGUARD debt management program can lower your monthly payments by hundreds and save you thousands!

One such case is Sandra L. who proclaimed “CreditGUARD cut my monthly payment by $656 and saved me over $29,206.53 in interest. They saved my way of life and gave me back my piece of mind! Now I can see myself on my way to becoming debt free.” or Jeffery C. who said “CreditGUARD of America helped me consolidate 3 of my credit cards into one affordable payment. They are now saving me nearly $200 a month. Now I will be debt free in 2 years or less” To calculate your monthly payment and interest savings visit us at: www.creditguard.org/np Certified Credit Counselors at CreditGUARD of America provide Debt Relief Consultations at no charge, when you call 1-888-483-6514.

SANDWICH — “Habitations”, an exhibit featuring the work of Chicago painter James Kao, opened this week at the Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery and will continue through Sept. 22.

Kao was named White Mountain National Forest artist in residence, a new program this year partnered by the White Mountain National Forest and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire.

Kao’s residency began in early August and his mission has been to create new work inspired by the forest. He has been staying at Mead Base from where he can be deep into the woods after a very short walk and create the abstract visions which are his work’s hallmark.

A part of the proceeds from the exhibit will benefit The White Mountain National Forest, The Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire and the Friends of Mead Base Conservation Center. For more information call 284-7728 or visit patricialaddcarega.com.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not exactly schooled in the ways of magic, and yet your knowledge makes you a magician in someone else’s eyes.

Instead of deflecting the praise and amazement you receive, soak it up!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Sometimes you wonder whether you will make a difference in the world. You already have. And these days, your influence is even greater than you realize. Keep the faith.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

“Live and let live” is your policy. Because you are able to tolerate the idea that people have beliefs that are different from yours, you will make friends and do business on a larger scale.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will speak accurately with great compassion and convey a positive, uplifting feeling. The reason you are able to do this is because you really believe in what you are selling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will feel guided to act. The guidance may come from a teacher or a book, or even a person with whom you do not have a personal relationship but who nonetheless inspires you from afar.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 1).

Love fulfills you in delightful, unplanned ways. You’ll demonstrate your knowledge and will be chosen for a special position. The next 10 weeks bring successful efforts in higher education and advanced training. In November, new fans will appreciate your sense of humor and entertaining qualities.

Cancer and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 7, 25, 41 and 11.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Beauty captures your attention, especially when it’s unexpected. You will be drawn in by a person’s elegance. The sparkling laugh and dancing eyes make their way straight to your heart.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your interest may be impractical, and that is part of the appeal. Claim your right to your own wonderful nonsense. You don’t love a hobby because it is useful.

It is useful because you love it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your unique spirit shines through today. You won’t show your feelings in the way everyone else does. You’ll give a special kind of love, and it will take a special kind of heart to receive it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Dietary changes are on the horizon for you.

Preparing your own meals puts you in touch with what is in them. You’ll take a break from fast food and frozen food in order to be hands on with the raw ingredients in your food.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Getting too used to having someone to look out for you could cause you to become lax about looking out for yourself. Take a solo journey to fortify your self-reliance.

You don’t want to go soft!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is said that the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. What goes without mention is that it also gets cursed and kicked. If it’s necessary to annoy people, be very careful in your methods.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can furnish a lot of your own personal selfcare without help. You’ve even been known to cut your own hair. But if you can treat yourself to a little help, it will be an excellent treat.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 1, 1939, World War II began as Nazi Germany invaded Poland.

On this date: In 1715, following a reign of 72 years, King Louis XIV of France died four days before his 77th birthday.

In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was found not guilty of treason. (Burr was then tried on a misdemeanor charge, but was again acquitted.)

Sometimes, beneficiaries of a dramatic rescue don’t appear to be all that grateful Arline & Wally Ouellette of Sarasota Lane in Laconia spotted a black and white cat, a stranger to them, high in a tree in their backyard on Tuesday afternoon.

The cat was crying but a call to the fire department promptly brought Lt. Dave French and firefighters Jay Ellingson and Dave Jensen to the scene. Jensen , shown below ended up at the top end of the ladder and brought the cat down with him. Once his or her feet were firmly back on the ground, the cat immediately ran off towards nearby White Oaks Road. (Courtesy photos)

Wooden Boat restoration class starts October 3 at NH Boat Museum WOLFEBORO — The New Hampshire Boat Museum will offer a wooden boat restoration course beginning October 3.

“This is a terrific opportunity to learn how to repair and rebuild a wood boat to achieve a safe, sound vessel and maintain its beauty,” says New Hampshire Boat Museum board chairman Hank Why. The course is designed to remove the mystique of wooden boat restoration and will cover such fundamentals as the assessment of an old wooden boat, planking, steam bending, varnishing and more.

The course consists of six classes over a two-week period from October 3 through 14, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The classes will take place in the museum’s storage and workshop building.

The cost is $495 per person and

includes all six classes, a reference book and a 2012 Museum membership. No previous experience is required.

To register, visit the Museum’s website at www.nhbm.org and download the form or pick up an application at the museum. Applications are due by September 23, but as space is limited, interested parties are encouraged to enroll early.

Instructor Zeke Bly of Wolfeboro Falls has over 35 years of teaching experience in industrial arts and technology education, including boat building courses. He has attended the Wooden Boat School in Brooklin, Maine, restored several Chris Craft boats, and built many canoes, kayaks and rowing shells. Interested students may contact him directly with questions at zbly@metrocast.net or 569-5010.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: “Bill” and I have been married for seven years, but since our first child was born, I’ve felt like a horrible nag.

I have to remind him frequently to pick up after himself and finish what he started. He leaves all the cabinet doors open and throws his clothes and other belongings all over the living room.

I know these complaints seem like little things, but it’s been a struggle for me to take care of the new baby and the house, and he compounds my problems. He doesn’t seem to be putting any effort into keeping up our home -- or marriage.

I’ve told Bill how important these little things are to me, but he can’t see what the big deal is. I have tried many approaches to helping him get organized. I’ve reminded him with humor, with gentleness, with repetition and finally nagging until it gets done. He offers excuses and apologizes, but makes no effort to change.

I fear what will happen when I go back to work soon. It is putting a strain on our relationship, and arguing is exhausting. What can I do so that I am not living in a constant state of annoyance? -- Frustrated Wife Dear Wife: New mothers often become exhausted and depressed. Try to separate yourself from the mess. If Bill tosses clothes or other things on the floor, kick them into an out-ofthe-way corner and say nothing. He knows he’s a slob, and he’s rebelling. When you go back to work, see if you can set aside some money to pay for occasional cleaning assistance.

If Bill doesn’t like the expense, tell him sweetly that it is obviously his choice, since he isn’t capable of pitching in.

Dear Annie: My mother died recently. Over the years, she had managed to alienate everyone, including her children.

Nonetheless, I tried to be there for her in the end. She said she loved me, yet despite my efforts to reconcile, she never apologized for some of the truly terrible things she said and

did that created the rift.

I’m a grown woman feeling like a lost and unloved child.

But some hurts go deep and need to be addressed, not ignored. Why didn’t my mother try to fix things? Wasn’t I worth it? Did she really love me? As children grow into adults, we learn to accept our parents’ shortcomings.

I am writing to beg your readers to show their love to their children, through words as well as actions, and to heal relationships before it’s too late. Apologize for any wrongdoing.

Don’t expect your child to be someone he or she isn’t. Make every effort to love your child’s partner, and never force your child to choose between you. Please don’t leave your children with the painful legacy of doubting they were truly loved.

You may think it doesn’t matter, but in the end, love is all that truly matters.

I am planning to get counseling, but I hope this letter can help someone else avoid my pain. -- Grieving in Georgia Dear Georgia: Thank you. We are certain it will. Please know that this is not about your worthiness to be loved. It is about your mother’s inability to show it.

Dear Annie: A lot of seniors write to you complaining that their children are not attentive enough. My father was fond of saying that two parents could take care of 10 children, but 10 children could not take care of two parents.

Now that I am 87 years old, I have the same complaint. I make a point not to get upset. I understand that my daughters and their children are busy with their own lives and childrearing, and they contact me when they find the time.

I’d love to hear from them more often, but know that “what goes around comes around.” Someday, they will experience the same longing and will have to learn to live with it. -- Glendora, Calif.
