You can’t keep a good recycler down for long

Although recovering from a broken hand, leg and knee he suffered in a motorcycle collision with a buck in Nebraska on August 4, Laconia Motorcycle Week Executive Director Charlie St. Clair was spotted on Friday evening pursuing one of his other passions: recycling. St. Clair, assisted here by fellow volunteer Gordon Mull, was sorting recyclables he collected from a local establishment, thereby diverting them from the landfill while simultaneously achieving recycling revenue for the city. St. Clair said, “I’m happy to be here. A little sore, but I’m happy to be here.” Compared his plight to the troubles of others, he said, “I have no complaints.” St. Clair’s collision occurred while he was en route to the annual mega motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. His motorcycle is being repaired in Iowa, and St. Clair plans to travel via train to pick up his bike next year and complete the ride to Sturgis. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

Milfoil infestations in Opechee will be pulled LACONIA — The Lake Opechee Preservation Association has contracted with Aqualogic of Gilford to remove the colonies of variable milfoil that have grown since the lake was treated with a chemical herbicide in 2010.

Michigan ‘hillbilly’ claims $337M Powerball prize, quits job

LANSING, Mich.

(AP) — Donald Lawson decided to have a little bit of fun with his mother two weeks ago.

“I called her and said, ‘I got a surprise for you.

I won $200,000 in the Powerball.’ She goes: ‘Oh my god. Yay!’ I said, ‘All right. Are you ready, Ma? Well, the truth is, I won $337 million and $4 in the Powerball. Ha, ha.”

Ha, ha indeed.

The 44-year-old father of two and selfdescribed “hillbilly” from Lapeer, Mich., claimed his prize Friday — the third largest in the game’s history — in a lump-sum, $224.6 million payment that works out to $158.7 million, after taxes.

Scheduled to work the midnight shift at the railroad, where he was an engineer, Lawson informed his boss that he wouldn’t be in that night, or any other, for that matter. He told his immediate family members that they too should “retire.”

“My living situation will greatly improve,” a smiling Lawson said during a news conference Friday at the see LOTTERY page 10

Private service held for humble hero Neil Armstrong CINCINNATI (AP) — Neil Armstrong was a humble hero who saw himself as a team player and never capitalized on his celebrity as the first man to walk on the moon, mourners said Friday outside a private service attended by fellow space pioneers, including his two crewmates on the historic Apollo 11 mission.

Hundreds of people attended a closed service for Armstrong Friday at a private club in suburban Cincinnati. A national memorial service has been scheduled for

Sept. 12 in Washington, although no other details have been released on the service or burial plans for Armstrong. He died Saturday at age 82.

Among some 10 former astronauts attending Friday were John Glenn and Armstrong’s crew for the 1969 moon landing, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

“You’ll never get a hero, in my view, like Neil Armstrong,” said Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders, who praised Armstrong after the service for his wisdom and humility in

the way he handled becoming a global icon.

“It’s going to be hard to top.”

“America has truly lost a legend,” said Eugene Cernan, an Apollo astronaut who is the last man to have walked on the moon.

Sen. Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, eulogized Armstrong “as a reluctant hero” and said afterward the service was a mix of emotion and humor, with Armstrong’s two sons talking about him as a father and grandfather. see ARMSTRONG page 14

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Isaac sloshed north into the central U.S. on Friday after flooding stretches of Louisiana and Mississippi and knocking out power, leaving entire water-logged neighborhoods without lights, air conditioning or clean water.

It will be a few days before the soupy brown water recedes and people forced out of flooded neighborhoods can return home.

And the damage may not be done. Offi-

cials were pumping water from a reservoir to ease the pressure behind an Isaacstressed dam in Mississippi on the Louisiana border. In Arkansas, power lines were downed and trees knocked over as Isaac moved into the state.

The earthen dam on Lake Tangipahoa could unleash a 17-foot flood crest downstream in Louisiana if it were to give way, which prompted evacuations in small

towns and rural areas Thursday. Officials released extra water through the dam and were considering punching a hole in it to lower the rain-swollen reservoir.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Friday that the Tangipahoa River crested Thursday night and was expected to go down by 2 feet Saturday. He said Mississippi’s work to alleviate pressure on the dam appeared see ISAAC page 16

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Up to 10,000 people who were guests in certain lodging cabins at Yosemite National Park might have been exposed to a deadly mouse-borne virus, park officials confirmed Friday as rangers handled a slew of calls from frightened visitors.

Park concessionaire Delaware North

Co. sent letters and emails this week to nearly 3,000 people who reserved the insulated “Signature” cabins between June and August, warning them that they might have been exposed.

The cabins hold up to four people, and park spokesman Scott Gediman said Friday that means up to 7,000 more visi-

tors might have been exposed to the virus that so far has killed two people and sickened four others.

Meanwhile, more than 1,000 calls a day are coming into Yosemite’s new hantavirus hotline as visitors frightened about the growing outbreak of hantavirus pulmosee YOSEMITE page 15

Thank You

On August 23rd, I accidentally left my purse in my basket in front of Walmart in Gilford. Thankfully, a nice man turned it in at the service counter and it was returned to me.

I just wanted to thank him very, very much for being honest. It is nice to know that there are still honest people in the world today.

Again, I am so grateful! M.L.

Bad immigration ideas from both right & left No balanced talk of immigration reform is expected before the November election. But that need not stop the airing of proposals, some of them semi-formed, some half-baked.

From the left, we have the TRUST Act, a bill passed by the California Legislature and now awaiting Gov. Jerry Brown’s uncertain signature.

It would require local law enforcement to defy some federal requests to hold arrested illegal immigrants pending checks for criminal records.

That would force police to break either state law or federal law.

The TRUST Act’s sponsors should know that immigration is a federal responsibility in California as well as in Arizona.

In Tampa, Fla., meanwhile, the Republican National Convention has produced a party platform with far less “give” for illegal immigrants.

It calls for no future amnesty and supports “humane procedures to encourage illegal aliens to return home voluntarily” — a polite way of saying “self-deportation.”

Two different approaches, each unwise in its own way.

Absent comprehensive reform, the Obama administration has done a heroic job enforcing the country’s immigration laws as fairly as possible. Rather than raid factory floors, it has focused on employers who hire undocumented workers. Its Secure Communities program puts priority on removing aliens who pose a threat to public safety. At the same time, it is helping illegal immigrants brought here as children to legally hold jobs. The bottom line is that Obama is doing the hard task. His administration has deported 1.4-million illegal immigrants to date.

The TRUST Act was inspired by the case of Juana Reyes-Hernandez, a tamale vendor arrested for setting up shop on a Walmart parking lot. A more sympathetic person would be hard to find. But because Reyes-Hernandez is an illegal immigrant, she was held under a Secure Communities requirement that fingerprints be sent to a database to confirm she had not committed serious crimes.

They came back clean, and she was eventually released. Are Cali-

fornians lawmakers willing to frustrate a program designed to keep out dangerous foreigners so as not to inconvenience other illegal immigrants? It would seem so.

Back in Tampa, no sooner had grass-roots activists finished carving their strict stance onto the platform tablet, than Romney surrogate John Sununu took a chisel to it. Forget what it says, he told Spanish-language media. America needs “a comprehensive package,” including a deal for young illegal immigrants brought here by their parents. He said that Romney wants that and two other things: “One is the expanded guest-worker program. One is the expanded program for visas.”

Do we hear strains of the “grand bargain” from the George W. Bush years? That sloppy set of proposals went down in flames, due in part to its cheap-labor provisions. Yes, a visa program for entrants with truly special skills makes sense. A guest-worker program that admits some laborers to pick seasonal crops makes sense. But I hope Sununu’s not thinking of another scheme to funnel low-cost foreign labor to American businesses under the guise of immigration reform. We remember Bush’s call to “match any willing worker with any willing employer” with pain.

Many of those “willing workers” — seeing that the U.S. government held its own immigration laws in contempt — settled illegally in the United States and made lives. Their impression was correct, which is why the Republican platform call for self-deportation cannot be a humane solution.

A last amnesty offering citizenship to most law-abiding illegal immigrants is an essential piece of comprehensive reform. A tight system for verifying the right of future job applicants to work in this country is another. Given today’s circumstances, they must go hand in hand. Let’s talk again after the election.

(A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

Let’s not forget Prof. Sandy referred to conservatives as Taliban To the editor, I read with much amusement that our beloved Professor Sandy is moving on to better pastures. I laughed out loud when I read “I also hope that name callers will be able to refrain from personal attacks in the future and develop sound arguments for their views. Such behaviour has no place in civil society.” HA!

I seem to remember just a few months ago also in one of his “rantings” he compared conservatives in the country to the TALIBAN! Seems to be the professor should start practicing what he preaches, but as they say you can teach an old dog new tricks.

LETTERS A father, a son, and a great ‘skipper’ from Afghanistan To the editor, My son, from the time he was a small boy, prided himself on skipping rocks. I taught him the art. It was along the Baber River in W. Rumny, New Hampshire. And by eight years old he had perfected the sport.

So, during the fight in Afghanistan, I as an older man returned one day to spot. It did not take long to find just the right one. And within a day, the rock was sent to him; part of his care package. I asked him to give this “skipper” to the water there and to find a rock from Afghanistan that was worthy of our river.

Within six months I did receive the foreign “skipper”. It could have passed as one of our own, indistinguishable from its origin. After the delivery was made, my sons fight ended.

It’s been a number of years that have passed the rock. I’ve looked at it from time to time, marveled at it’s shape. The “heft” was right, the roundness perfect. So, one fine day this

summer of 2012, I stood in the knee deep water and viewed the length of the quiet water that ended toward the end of the river. I then turn to my son and looked at his smiling face. In that moment he was not 35, nor was I, 62.

“Bout time we do this dad. You want me to do the honors?” he asked.

“It’s fitting,” I replied with a grin not unlike his.

There was no telling how many times the rock touched the surface. And finally, it sloshed in the distance, disappeared and sank into the dark waters of the bend. The exchange was complete.

My son had come home safe years ago.

I am a fortunate man. We are all fortunate in our own ways...all of us here.

Billy and I toasted to our times as veterans — to the little boys that reside within us, and to all of the service men and women how have served and are serving. And then we hugged... for a while.

Change is the law of life; Mr. Young just can’t seem to accept that To the editor, I’d like to address Mr. Niel Young’s letter of last week in which he proclaimed, “W” (George W. Bush) “honored and respected our military”. Apparently Young has forgotten the approximate 37,000 brave young men and women, who have lost their lives or have been wounded in Iraq, a war promoted by and sold to the Congress and the American public by Bush and his administration.

Can he forget the overly theatrical and expensive stunt of landing on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln and the infamous banner declaring “Mission Accomplished”? Bush was using the military to promote himself and his political agenda. I know Mr. Young doesn’t want to hear this, but where are the Weapons Of Mass Destruction?

A Commander in Chief who sincerely “honored and respected” our troops would not sacrifice them in a war based on sketchy intelligence and false information from questionable informants.

As a grandparent, I can understand Young’s concern for his grandchildren, but he is naive to believe that they will “live and compete” in the America he has known. Unfortunately for Young and conservatives like him, the world is ever changing. Due to his opposition

to change and preoccupation with the past it puts Young constantly on the defensive. He is big on national defense and magnifies our perception of threat, whether of foreign aggressors, illegal immigrants, terrorists, or invading ideologies such as socialism. To Mr. Young, the world is a frightening place.

He exhibits his fears by labeling President Obama as a “troublemaker” for having worked as a community organizer. Why? Because community organizers AFFECT CHANGE in peoples lives by encouraging them to take action on their own behalf to improve their standard of living.

Another fear addressed by young is the plot by the “biased screwballs” of MSNBC and CNN to protect Obama and Biden in the debates. Could it be that Young is laying the groundwork now, so that in the event that Romney and Ryan have a poor showing, he will have someone to blame?

And this coming from a man who admittedly cares little for fairness and is on a “mission”.

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” — John F. Kennedy L. J. Siden Gilmanton

LETTERS I know Sen. Forrester is a good citizen; it’s her votes that alarm To the editor, I read a letter in the August 24 Sun from Ed Touhey that raised a lot of questions. He feels he knows Sen. Forrester and wants to learn where Bob Lamb stands on a range of issues. Ed asks some great questions and points out key issues. It would be great to hear Ed’s questions answered — by both candidates, so voters can understand the differences between them.

Ed writes that “our state educational system needs to be built-up and not shortchanged”. He wonders where Bob stands on educational funding and how he would attract and retain skilled teachers. Given what has happened in Concord over the last 1.5 years, Ed’s concerns are understandable. Does he realize Sen. Forrester voted to shift funds from public education to support vouchers for public school students to attend a religious or private school? The best educators are unlikely to come to N.H. without demonstrated support for public schools. Funding is only part of what is apt to drive good educators away, let alone attract new ones to N.H. Sen. Forrester and the GOP majority sought to reduce the dropout age, to eliminate requirements for technology education, foreign languages and the arts — positions opposed by Mr. Lamb. They voted to reduce funding to N.H.’s university system; already the lowest funded in the country, by 50-percent and also suspended statefunded scholarship programs. Are

these positions that attract top educators to N.H., do they help N.H. families and provide opportunities for N.H. students? Ed is right, our state education system needs to “be built up and not short changed” because of what has occurred in the last 18 months.

Ed writes that “many state secondary roads are crumbling due to deferred maintenance”, and he asks Mr. Lamb what he would propose to protect them from further decay. Actually, the maintenance is not deferred, it is not funded. A more important question is — what were Sen. Forrester’s expectations when she voted for a budget that reduced the DOT budget by 11.5-percent in 2011, another 11-percent in 2012 and another 13-percent in 2013. The major factor for the DOT budget reduction was the Legislature’s decision not to renew the $30 motor vehicle registration surcharge, thereby eliminating $90-million in revenue primarily targeted for road maintenance. While everyone is noticing the declining road conditions, do you know anyone who used the $30 “saved” to improve their lives or the road conditions? Wouldn’t they have happily paid it if they knew it would result in ongoing road maintenance? I’d like to hear from Sen. Forrester and our state reps on how they propose to restore our infrastructure from the decay their decisions caused.

Ed wonders how much fight Mr. Lamb has in him, wonders if he will buckle to lobbyists and crumble to polit-

ical pressure. I know that Mr. Lamb had the fight in him to graduate from West Point and serve our country. I know he had the fight in him to go to Concord as a citizen to raise concern about the proposed Senate redistricting plan supported by Sen. Forrester that would have taken Holderness out of District 2 and would have resulted in PSU having property in two separate districts. Mr. Lamb’s presentation caused the Senate to alter the plan and keep Holderness in the same district, something Sen. Forrester failed to do. Sen. Forrester also voted in favor of the House redistricting plan that resulted in Meredith losing its direct representation in the House. Did Sen. Forrester crumble to political pressure when she changed her vote from her original position against the plan?

Ed writes that the future of N.H. rests with those we put into office today. Didn’t it also rest with those put into office in 2010? They have failed in their responsibility to make decisions to sustain and advance the quality of life for all residents of N.H. Ed writes “without a reason to vote for you, Bob, I have to look at the record”.

He writes he knows where Sen. Forrester stands on issues, but his statements on what is important to him raises the question whether he really does. I know that Sen. Forrester is a nice person and good citizen, as is Mr. Lamb. I hope all voters will look at Sen. Forrester’s voting record to determine if the votes she has taken reflect the qualities they cherish — and not just the votes on bills that became law, but her votes on all the bills that came before the Senate. Ed expressed urgency to learn about Mr. Lamb for the Sept. primary. Since Mr. Lamb is uncontested and not involved in a primary, there is plenty of time to learn about his positions and I am sure there will be a number of opportunities for the voters to do so.

The current legislature has N.H. off-course. Fortunately we have the opportunity every two years to alter or sustain the course we are on, a vote for Mr. Lamb is a vote to steer N.H. back onto the right course.

We need man with rock solid ideas to lead us: Ovide Lamontagne To the editor, It is less than two weeks ‘til primary election day. I have determined that Ovide Lamontagne, candidate for governor, is the best person to turn New hampshire’s economy around. He has the best mix of education and experience and is genuinely concerned about the state. There is nothing wrong with

the state that a firm hand in the governor’s office can’t cure. We need a man with rock solid ideas to lead us. Who better than Ovide Lamontagne whose French name means “the mountain.”

I urge all my friends and neighbors to go to the polls on September 11th and vote for Ovide.

LETTERS Taxpayers of Barnstead need someone keeping eye on state & county To the editor, My name is Guy Comtois and I am currently one of your state representatives. I am running again for re-election.

I am concerned not only about what is going on in the state, but what is happening right here in our own county.

Until this last budget in 2012, the county budget has been increasing by 2 to 3 million dollars per year. This past year, due to our fight in 2011, the budget remained level-funded. I fought to use federal stimulus dollars for necessary and upcoming capital improvements; instead, they used these funds to remodel the county complex, and give the elected commissioners, each their own office, and the staff a brand new gym. The price tag for these improvements was over $500,000.

Now the County Commissioners just came back in July to ask for another $185,000, which will raise your taxes again. These monies are for another study to get started with an architect on a new prison system. They say this complex will cost the taxpayers of Belknap County between 25 and 45 million dollars, which means closer to 50 million dollars. They have no plans to look at alternatives; this is an all or nothing proposal. I fought hard to have them take the $185,000 out of their current budget, of which they have excess, but they refused, and the vote at the county hearings was 10 for the increase in taxes, and 8 against. This is how the vote has gone for the past two years. I am the only representative running in Barnstead, who has fought against

these increases. I believe the taxpayers of Barnstead need someone at both the state and county level watching out for their best interest.

I currently sit on the Environmental & Agricultural Committee. I have heard testimony which concerns all the people of the State of N.H. N.H. farms can only feed 4 to 6-percent of our population seasonally; this needs to improve. With the early snow storm last October, the grocer’s lobbyists testified that because of impassable roadways, they were concerned there would not be enough food on hand to feed the population of N.H. Homeland Security is now looking into this matter.

As the sponsor of HB-1402, of which there is no benefit to myself or my farm, this gives more beginning farmers a chance to grow their farms without incurring huge upfront costs. It gives all of us here in N.H. the choice as to where we would like to purchase our food and raw milk products. It keeps tax dollars here in the state instead of going to big chains, and helps to preserve open space and our rural character. With the passage of HB-1402, which had unanimous bi-partisan support in both the House and Senate, and signed by the governor, this bill should allow more people to get involved in farming and help increase the number of people we can feed in our own state.

I am concerned about the future of our state and county, and would like to ask for your vote on September 11.

Rep. Guy Comtois Barnstead

Blame Obama? Most of country is below 8% unemployment level To the editor, We all have heard the phase that you can please some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time.

The right wing nut party blames the president for over 8-percent unemployment since being president. Please search (state unemployment rates) and click onto (unemployment rates per states).

You will find 29 states with under 8-percent unemployment.The lowest rate is North Dakota, with 3-percent, while the top four are Nevada at 12-percent, Rhode Island at 10.8-percent, California at 10.7-percent and New Jersey (Gov. Christie’s state) with 9.6-percent.

This means that the president has pleased nearly 3/5 of the country, which I would consider the fact that

he has pleased some of the people.

Goodbye Gov. Romney.

I consider myself as being a Democrat and all the other names the right wing nuts call us. I agree with about 5-percent of what Tony has to say but his letter today hit the nail on the head. When you add all the benefits a teacher or any other town employee gets is far too much for sevices provided. The price for insurance to just three highway employees in Hill, N.H. is near $51,000 thousand dollars.

Read your town reports, get the facts.

I see Steve Earle continues to wander through horse pastures for something to write about. I hope he wears sun protection, it’s hot out there.

Henry Osmer, Hill

GOP should be ashamed of conspiring to keep the vote total down To the editor, Because the Republicans cannot win on their ideas and visions for our country; they need to “cheat” — suppress the vote of part of the electorate, the part that usually votes for the Democrats.

The day the Republican Party won the state houses and governorships in many states as a result of the 2010 election, they conspired to set a course that represents a minority view in this country. They pushed social issues such as eliminating abortions, closing Planned Parenthood services around the country, and eliminating labor unions.

They also passed legislation designed to suppress the vote of minorities, the elderly, and college students. Why did Pennsylvania pass

www.milesmarine.com

Space is Limited

laws to suppress the vote by requiring voter IDs? So Romney would win the presidency, according to the Republican leader of the Pennsylvania House.

Nineteen states have passed legislation or laws to suppress the vote.

This conspiracy is outrageous. It is un-American, not constitutional, not patriotic, and flies in the face of those military members who have died to keep our country free and a democratic society. The Republicans should be ashamed ASHAMED of their actions for political gain. “The right to vote is what makes a country a true democracy, and it is the most basic right we share as Americans”!

Mystery statehouse portrait Go to any bookstore in New Hampshire and in the regional sections, one will find a ridiculous number of books about haunted places in the Granite State, and throughout New England.

I think there are even stories suggesting New Hampshire’s capitol building in Concord is haunted by ghosts.

Finished in 1819, it is the oldest statehouse in the nation in which the legislature still sits in its original chambers, so it’s not surprising.

If there is ever a place that deserves to be haunted, it’s this one.

The amount of nefarious deal-making and bargaining with the devil that has gone on here, just in my lifetime, has been enough to wake the dead, if not inspire them actually get up and come over for a visit.

I have never encountered a ghost at the New Hampshire Statehouse, at least that I know of, although I’ve run into my share of shady figures there.

But while walking along the second floor of this grand old place toward the Senate Chamber a month or so ago, I did not encounter a ghost, but instead, came upon a mystery.

Here, I was startled to notice among the oil portraits of past governors, a framed picture that stood out. It was not a painting as the others, but a photograph. Or was it a line drawing of pencil and charcoal? I had walked these halls for years, and never noticed it.

A plaque indicated this was the portrait of one Henry Wilder Keyes of North Haverhill, the state’s governor during World War I (19171919), and a three term United States Senator (1919-1937). But of course, this is not Keyes, I muttered (pronounced like skies, not keys).

The man was not in office that long ago, I thought. There are people alive today who have personal knowledge of Governor/Senator Keyes, including his grandchildren.

A review of the Manual of the General Court (1917 edition), also known as the “Red Book,” published by the Secretary of State, has a portrait of Governor Keyes, in his prime. There are also plenty of photographs on file in the Library of Congress and on the Congressional Biography database showing the gracefully aging senator in later life.

Certainly, if this is not Keyes, who is it?

Keyes’ granddaughter, Fran-

ces Parkinson Keyes Keidel, who divides her time between the handsome family estate, Pine Grove Farm in North Haverhill, and a residence, in Devon, Pennsylvania, does not know. And, neither does her cousin, Peter Keyes, of Newbury, Vermont, a retired history professor, and antique book dealer.

“But, this is certainly not my grandfather,” the granddaughter advises.

Also, the garb of the man in the picture appears to be from another century.

What apparently has helped confused state officials is a brass plaque on the frame inscribed “Gift of Henry W. Keyes.”

Could it be Keyes’ father, a prominent builder of railroads in the state, or another important citizen a sentimental governor wanted to honor?

Doesn’t look like Keyes’ father, either, the grandchildren say.

Whoever it is, Henry Wilder Keyes, deserves better. Bank president, farmer, Keyes humbly served his home town as selectman during his term as governor. He also raised prized blood stock, traveling to Europe in the 1900s, being one of the first to bring pure Holstein cattle to this country. The prize ribbons earned by these animals still dot the walls of the governor’s study, along with a framed vintage state flag, with an old version of the state seal, over the mantel.

At 40, Henry the bachelor farmer, married a girl of 18, which in itself might be worthy of some kind of ribbon. The marriage was a success.

Wife, Frances Parkinson Keyes (1885-1970), was a best selling author of magazine articles and over 50 books, mostly novels.

Members of the Keyes family are now thinking about commissioning a portrait of their grandfather, that he might be properly honored.

Maybe they should also work on a way of honoring a celebrated former New Hampshire first lady, as well.

As for the man in the bogus portrait?

Historians and a senate-house committee are researching that, but at the moment, he remains a mystery.

Free Staters running as Democrats for Grafton Co. House seats To the editor, Dear Democratic Party voters: I am a Democrat who will be voting in the New Hampshire primary for the first time this year. Since I’m new here, I needed to find out about the candidates who are running for State Representative in the September 11th primary in my districts (Grafton 9 and Grafton 17). What I found out concerns me.

I learned from local Democrats I respect that three of the primary candidates, Phil Preston (9), Judy Wallick (9), and Catherine Mulholland (17) are true

Democratic Party values. The two other candidates are acknowledged Free Staters who are not true Democrats.

Free Staters want to dismantle effective government by reducing educational standards and funding, dismantling the court system, and lowering environmental standards.

Examine the candidates for yourself and make sure they share your values and the values of the Democratic Party. I know that Mulholland, Preston, and Wallick do. Democrats, don’t be fooled by the phonies.

PRESENT THIS COUPON AND SAVE!!

To the editor, Please, if you care about animals, do not patronize any form of entertainment that uses animals.

Zoos and roadside menageries are animal prisons without parole. Zoos saving endangered species are not open to the public as the animals cannot bond with humans or they cannot be released into the wild. The average zoo animal exists in a small enclosure of normal socialization with others of its species or exercise. This does not educate the public about the animals in their natural habitat, it just shows people animals forced to live bleak lives in captivity. Roadside menageries are even worse in their treatments of animals, the animals usually leave in squalid, cramped cages with no enrichment, little or not veterinary care and substandard food.

Separated from their family “pods”, marine mammals are forced to live in captivity and have much shortened lives than those free in the wild, as they are dying of boredom and loneliness. Since their communications systems must travel distances to be effective, these “sound waves” bouncing off with cramped aquarium walls, its frustrating to say the least.

“Swim with Dolphin” programs are detrimental to the animals forced to participate as they often succumb to many human-orientated illnesses and are confined to small “swim” areas.

Circus elephants and big cats are trained by electric shock and burial beatings to break these animals’ dominant personalities. Elephants are chained by all four legs when not performing and lions and tigers live in tiny gages with no room to exercise. If circus animals perform out of love for their trainers, then why are the whips and bull hooks present at each performance?

In bullfights, the bull is severally weakened before the fight as picadillos (men on horseback) pierce major tendons with swords and Vaseline is rubbed into the bull’s eyes and nose, he never has a chance to survive.

During rodeos, cinch straps causing pain to the sensitive areas like the genitals make steer and horses buck to get rid of the pain. In calf-roping, the animal is smalled roughly to the ground often when running, casing sever or fatal injuries. No veterinarian care is proved, the hurt animal is simply shipped to the slaughterhouse to be processed into meat.

Animal-based entertainment may be fun for human spectators, but it is a living hell for the animals involved.

Inform the owners why you are boycotting their events and businesses, and educate your friends and family on the cruelties the animals are forced to endure. For more information call 224-1361.

Voter fraud has never happened anywhere in U.S.? Get real!

To the editor, The alarm bells are being sounded, danger is at our door step, be afraid, be very afraid Laconia. What is it, what can it be Dr. Dawson? Holy VOTER SUPPRESSION Batman, are the New Black Panthers coming to town?

Is it the Occupy Laconia anarchists bent on riot, burning and destruction?

Well no, not actually. It’s the voter I.D. requirement. Righhhhhht!

Dr. Thomas Dawson sees it as another of those “vast right wing conspiracies” whereby voters must actually show an I.D. to prove they are who they say they are. How unreasonable, after all voter fraud has never, ever happened anyplace. Righhhhhht!

So wasn’t it the Democrats who coined the phrase “vote early, vote often?” Yea I think it was. Let’s remember it was the Democrats who not so long ago were pulling their hair and tearing their garments in outrage that every vote must be counted. Still realize while every vote should and must be counted an illegal vote nullifies one legitimate vote and that is every bit as bad as not counting a vote. Also let’s remember voter suppression most recent episode was by the Black Panthers (Obama supporters) and it was Chicago and a couple of other Democratic controlled cities who failed to

get absentee ballots out to our service men and women on time last presidential election, so if the good doctor wants something to be alarmed about I suggest he look closer to home.

This “talking point” right out of the Democratic talk machine, has been debunked so often that it gets a little silly for folks like the doctor to keep bringing it up. Well then too, he can’t very well brag on the great success of the Obama years. After all every hope and promise the president made has been dashed by the reality of failure. Are we as a nation better off with a sixteen trillion dollar debt and growing. Has the middle class been getting stronger with only welfare and unemployment checks to keep struggling families afloat with job growth so low that kids coming out of collages with degrees can’t find jobs.

Obama promised to fix all this, be a post-racial president, and even lower the rising seas. Get real!

When you hire someone to cut your lawn and they don’t even have a lawn mower you get someone else. Hire a plumber who doesn’t know what a pipe looks like, get someone else.

Boarding a airliner piloted by a community organizer, get off that plane.

Folks it’s time for that change.

LETTERS Times are tough & there are many better causes to donate to To the editor, I’m writing in response to the story about the New Hampton couple looking to raise over $300,000 by donations and a bike-a-thon to save their house from foreclosure. I don’t usually read many of the articles in the newspaper and I’m sorry I read this one. I am appalled that someone could ask for people to donate such a significant amount of money so they can continue to live in their lavish log cabin home, on 62 acres, with panoramic views.

Times are tough and millions have been affected by this Great Recession; the Ulrich’s are not alone in their everyday struggle. There are elderly and families facing the same economic issues, and I would find it more appropriate to donate to a family with young children or a senior citizen that can’t provide for them self, than a couple, one of which is physically capable to ride 200 miles on a bicycle.

If the bread business isn’t bringing in enough “dough” to support their

expenses then it would be seem; an obvious choice would be to get another job. The help wanted ads in the back of this paper seem to be growing. Or if the bread business is what God really wants for the Ulrich’s then do you suppose they could move into a more affordable home? Maybe, I could understand raising enough to cover the cost to get them off the brink of foreclosure but to try and raise enough money to pay OFF your $300,000 mortgage is just selfish.

Regardless of the kind gestures they have supplied to convicts and homeless people, there are shelters and resources that are also available for people in need. That shouldn’t be a reason for citizens to donate an excessive amount of money when it could be donated to a better cause, like opening another homeless shelter for families that did lose their home to foreclosure and are CURRENTLY homeless.

Your invited to meet Robert Lamb at my house on September 5 To the editor, In the last few weeks there have been several letters from voters who say they would like to get to know Robert Lamb, the Democratic candidate for the New Hampshire Senate in District 2. I will be sponsoring an event next Wednesday from 5 to 7 at my home so that folks can hear Bob’s views, ask him questions and, most importantly, give Bob an opportunity to hear from the voters of Senate District 2. The district includes the towns of Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol, Campton, Center Harbor, Danbury, Dorchester, Ellsworth, Grafton, Groton, Haverhill, Hebron, Hill, Holderness, Meredith, New Hampton, Orange, Orford, Piermont, Plymouth, Rumney, Sanbornton, Tilton, Warren, Wentworth, and Wilmot. Sanbornton

and Tilton were added to this district in the last round of redistricting.

Voters of the N.H. Senate District 2 who are serious about their wish to meet Bob are cordially invited to attend my house party for Bob next Wednesday, September 5 from 5 to 7.

Please RSVP to 528-2179 or annerogers03253@gmail.com so I will know how many to expect. I will provide the information about directions to my home “way out there” in the far reaches of Chemung to those who let me know they are coming.

Robert Lamb is a terrific candidate for the N.H. Senate with a strong military and business background. I hope you will take every opportunity to meet him and hear him speak!

Bush’s advisors now working for Romney; policies will be same To the editor, To quote Ann Romney: I’m a wife, mother, grandmother and an American” Why did she add American? She could have also mentioned that Mitt is an “anchor baby” because his father was born out of the country. But lets not get nasty about this because in the not too far distance someone will be elected president and the losing side will have to deal with it for four years.

John McCain, the man who should have beaten Bush in 2000, was the only person on the stage who everyone should look up to when he said — I lost four years ago and I accept the decision. No crying, no birther baby crap, no I want your high school records etc. A respectable human, unlike the rest of them, a few excused.

To Kelly Ayotte: no he never ran a lemonaide stand but he did work hard to overcome a lot of obstaciles to become the first African-American

president. What did you do? Judging from your biography you have been paid by the taxpayers since 1994.

Never had a real job either. Also look like you were VERY busy deleting your e-mails — VERY BUSY. So, like Romney’s tax returns, I feel we should see your e-mails. What are you hiding?

Mitt did look after small business until he found out he could get more money out of running larger businesses into unpayable debt and putting them into bankruptcy. Do you want a list? I don’t care that he got a lot of money but it is the way he got it I have issues with. Why does he have to hide it offshore in those tax free banks? American banks could use the money to loan to small businesses.

The economic policies of both Bush and Romney will be the same because Bush’s advisors are now working for Romney.

Laconia woman charged with stabbing at tent site rearrested on 2 counts

“Bubbles” in the Smith Track at Opechee Park in Laconia are evident along the lines that separate running lanes. The rubberized, allweather surface of the track was replaced just a year ago. (Laconia Daily Sun photo / Michael Kitch)

Smith Track ‘bubbles up’ just a year after resurfacing LACONIA — Approximately a third of the Smith Track at Opechee Park is closed following the discovery of numerous places where the running surface has parted from the underlying base, or “bubbled.”

The track was resurfuced exactly one year ago.

Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, said this week that the contractor, after examining and evaluating the track, concluded that moisture has intruded and become trapped between the two layers breaking the bond between the asphalt base and rubberized surface, causing the latter to lift or “bubble.”

The entire track from just before the southeast curve to just beyond the sprint chute has been roped off.

Dunleavy said that the contractor has advised him that the damaged area can be patched. However, because the contractor has a heavy work schedule, Dunleavy said that he will not be able to undertake the repairs until later this month. He pointed out that since the materials are very sensitive to temperature and moisture, scheduling the work could prove challenging.

LOTTERY from page 2 Michigan Lottery’s headquarters, in Lansing.

Lawson, who grew up in Fort Smith, Ark., said he has a lot more money, but it won’t change who he is.

He said the first thing he bought when he learned he had the winning ticket was a pack of gum.

“Yeah, I’m a millionaire now, but I’ll still (go to) McDonald’s. I don’t like filet mignon or lobster. A simple life.

That’s what I want to continue to do,” he said.

Lawson admitted to playing the lottery “too much” — although some might argue that he played it just the right amount.

He said there was a long line when he walked into

the Sunoco gas station in Lapeer on the day he bought his winning ticket for the Aug. 15 jackpot. Lawson said he decided to wait it out, saying he felt “guided” to stick around and to select the winning numbers: 6, 27, 46, 51, 56 and Powerball 21. The gas station receives a $50,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

Standing with three family members on Friday, Lawson described the moment the day after the drawing when he learned his life was about to change.

“I started reading backwards, and I kinda lost my breath,” Lawson said, noting that he hid the winning ticket inside a Bible, under a couch and atop a refrigerator before he ultimately locked it away in a bank.

LACONIA — A woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend this past July in a dispute over a telephone charger was back in court this morning after city police arrested her on a bench warrant.

Pamela Griffiths, 47, now of 378 Weirs Boulevard was ordered held on $250 cash bail after her arraignment in this morning in the N.H. 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

Griffiths faces two separate charges — one in Gilford and one in Laconia.

In Gilford, Griffiths is accused of misdemeanor criminal trespass for returning to One Gilford Place at 143 Lakes Street after she had been issued a court order not to return there.

In an incident that happened in Laconia but was investigated by both departments, Griffiths is accused of stabbing her boyfriend at a camp site off White Oaks Road and behind 143 Lake Street.

According to affidavits from district court, she and Michael Saritelli had an argument in a tent pitched in the woods some time early in the morning on July 14.

Sartelli told police Griffiths was intoxicated and cut him with a steak knife. He said he fled the tent and used his underwear to bind the cut on his arm.

Around 12:20 p.m. the same day, the two went to Shaw’s Supermarket in Gilford and one of them called 9-1-1. Gilford Police and Fire responded and initially Gilford Police photographed Saritelli’s wound before he was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital.

Police also photographed bruises on Griffiths’s arm that Saritelli said was caused by him trying to take the knife away from her.

Police determined the crime occurred in Laconia and Laconia Police Officers Steve Orton and Adam Marsh and Sgt. Dennis Ashley finished the investigation by returning with Griffiths to the tent.

Police recovered evidence of the fight including the bloody underwear Saritelli said was initially used to bind his wound.

Orton took Griffiths to the Laconia Police Department where she was charged with one count of second-degree assault.

At the time Griffiths was ordered held on $100 cash bail and $10,000 personal recognizance bail, ordered to drink and to stay away from Saritelli.

Sartelli was charged with simple assault and held on $500 cash bail and $5,000 personal recognizance bail. He was ordered not to drink and to stay away from Griffiths.

2 GOP Barnstead reps face off for 1 remaining seat

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BARNSTEAD — With newly drawn electoral districts, two incumbent Republican lawmakers — Elaine Swinford and Guy Comtois — find themselves competing in the GOP primary for Barnstead’s lone seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives In 2010, both were among seven Republican representatives elected in the district consisting of Alton, Barnstead, Belmont and Gilford. The redistricting plan enacted by the Legislature assigned Barnstead one seat as well as included the town in a floterial district with Alton and Gilmanton, where one representative will be elected.

Neither Swinford nor Comtois chose to run in the floterial district.

Swinford serves as the welfare director in Barnstead and operates the local food pantry, which is supported by an adjacent thrift shop she opened.

“I’m pretty well known around town and I’ve been elected twice,” she said, explaining her decision to run in Barnstead rather in the larger district including Gilmanton, where she had not campaigned before. Comtois, a hydroponic vegetable farmer tending 93 acres, thought the same. “Three towns are a lot to run in,” he said.

The candidates represent the two different strands of conservatism running through the GOP. Comtois, the more libetrarian of the two, said “i don’t spend a lot time hanging around town hall sticking my nose in everybody’s business and trying to save the world.”

Insisting “I’m no moderate,” Swinford, who chairs the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, described herself as “a Reagan Republican” and stressed “I represent everybody in my district, not just those who voted for me.”

The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire (RLCNH), the self-described “the conscience of the Republican Party, which rates the voting records of all senators and representatives, awarded Comtois a score of 91.47, the 23rd highest among all House members, and Swinford a score of 82.78.

The RCLNH has endorsed Comtois in the primary.

The House Republican Alliance, which rates members according to how closely their voting records matched the party platform, assigned Comtois a score of 98 and Swinford 86.

Their differing positions on the issue of abortion, which was the subject of several bills during the 2011-2012 session, are reflected in their scores.

Comtois voted consistently to outlaw abortion in all circumstances while Swinford said “I’m pro-life with exceptions — rape, incest and life of the mother,” recalling a friend with a difficult pregnancy went to the hospital with complications. “The child came home and the mother didn’t,” she said. “And who’s going to look after her other five kids?”

While the two seldom differed in the Statehouse, they were on opposite sides of the often deeply and almost evenly divided Belknap County Convention, consisting of the 18 elected representatives in the county — all Republicans. The two factions split over the county budget recommended by the County Commission, with one prepared to accept it and the other bent on reducing it.

“I voted consistently to hold the budget flat,” Comtois said, “and Elaine voted for the spending increases.” Noting that in March there were 100 foreclosures in Barnstead, he said “i’m not saying we don’t need what they were asking for, but I am saying that the times should dictate our spending.”

Swinford said that “they insisted on cutting the county budget by $2-million, but they wouldn’t say where they wanted to cut. You can’t just come in and say you want to cut the budget by $2-million.” In particular, Swinford resisted efforts to trim compensation and benefits for county personnel, explaining that they had agreed to shoulder a greater share of their health insurance costs in return for reasonable wages increases. “We have to be careful where we cut,” she stressed.

At the same time, Swinford supported the commissioners in seeking to maintain a healthy fund balance. “We need the fund balance to improve our bond rating,” she said, noting that although the county is rated AA2 it carries a “negative outlook.”

Comtois and Swinford also found themselves at odds when the County Convention narrowly approved a supplemental appropriation of $160,000 to hire a consultant to assist with the process of designing a new county jail. She was for it and he was against.

There are four Republican primaries in Belknap County and Barnstead voters will participate in two of them — in District 7 (Barnstead) and District see BARNSTEAD page 13

Meredith Altursa’s Tunes for Spoons raised 30 boxes of food The Meredith Altrusa Club’s 2nd annual Tunes For Spoons food aid concert, held on Saturday at Hesky Park, garnered 30 boxes of donated food items as well as $1,500 in monetary donations, all of which will be donated to local food banks. Pictured above are Peter Heimlich and Cindy Duchin of Middle Ground, one of many musical acts which performed throughout the day. American Legion Post #33 also helped raise money by operating a food tent. Organizers are looking forward to continuing this yearly event. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/ Adam Drapcho)

ROBBERY from page one Jewelers and Northeast Credit Union – both in Manchester.

Delano Nelson, 49, of Los Angeles, California was arrested in Los Angeles on July 20. He was indicted by a federal grand jury for both the Hannoush Jewelers and the Kay Jewelers robberies and is being held pending trial in New Hampshire State Prison.

Katie T. Falls, 29, of 20 True Road in Meredith pleaded guilty to being the getaway driver in Belknap County Superior Court. She was sentenced to two 12-month sentences for misdemeanor charge of receiving stolen property and for accomplice to armed robbery. The sentences are to be served consecutively.

BARNSTEAD from page 11 8 (Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton). In addition, Barnstead, Alton and Gilmanton, are in Senate District 6, along with three municipalities in Strafford County — Rochester, Farmington and New Durham — where Dick Green of Rochester and Sam Cataldo of Farmington are vying for the Republican nomination. With three Republican primaries on the Barnstead ballot , voters will have more incentive than most to go the polls.

The primary election will be held on Tuesday, September 11.

Shylo Johnson, 25, who police said has had addresses in Sanbornton, Laconia and Gilford pleaded guilty in federal court to robbery for the Northeast Credit Union and the Kay Jewelers robbery.

Prince Sage, 27, of Dewey Street in Laconia pleaded guilty to the Northeast Credit Union bank robbery and his sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 12, 2012.

Williams and Johnson were arrested in early December of 2011 by police from Tilton, Laconia, Manchester, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Joint Fugitive Task Force.

Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormer said yesterday the two were on foot in the vicinity of the Landmark Hotel in downtown Laconia at time of their arrests.

Laconia Police arrested Prince without incident on December 27, 2011 at his then apartment on Dewey Street.

Meredith and Tilton Police arrested Falls without incident.

Cormier extended his thanks and appreciation to the various police agencies, including his own team, who worked and solved what he said was “one of the more challenging cases of his career.”

ARMSTRONG from page 2 “He touched the lives of so many,” Portman said.

“He was the embodiment of everything this nation is all about,” said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. Armstrong, he said, had a courageous drive for exploration while being an “incredibly humble” man who probably wouldn’t have wanted all the attention of Friday’s service.

It included a Navy ceremonial guard, a bagpiper corps MILLFOIL from page one ronmental Services (DES) were able to remove the small infestations that reemerged. However, this year the concentrations of milfoil were beyond the means of DES. John Jude, the owner of Aqualogic, said yesterday that in surveying the lake in the course of bidding for the job he found the densest colony where a brook empties into the north end of the lake near the Laconia Country Club. He intends to address it with “Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting,” or DASH, by which divers pull the plants up by their roots and feed them into aquatic vacuum device fitted to a pontoon boat. Jude expects to spend five days working this area. He said he would use one or two divers to clear smaller patches scattered around the lake to pull the milfoil by hand.

Jude plans to start work next week, soon after Labor Day. The city has budgeted $4,000 for the work, which is anticipated to cost approximately $8,000. The association has begun seeking donations from residents to raise the balance of the funds.

and songs including “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Four Navy fighter planes flew over at the end of the service, one flying upward in tribute to Armstrong, a former Navy pilot who flew combat missions in Korea.

The moon made a rare full appearance Friday — the second full moon in August. Most months have just one.

Raised in Wapakoneta, Ohio, Armstrong developed an early love for aviation.

He commanded the Gemini 8 mission in 1966 and Apollo 11’s historic moon landing on July 20, 1969.

As a worldwide audience watched on TV, Armstrong took the step on the lunar surface he called “one giant leap for mankind.”

Juri Taalman, 78, said he made a special trip from Hartford, Conn., just to stand across the road from the club where the service was held, in tribute to Armstrong.

He said he and his wife were on their honeymoon in Amsterdam the day of the moon landing. He recalled hotel employees bringing champagne to the guests watching Armstrong’s first steps together on television, and an Englishman lifting his glass in a toast “to all mankind!”

Taalman’s voice cracked as he discussed his visit Friday.

“I just think a really great man has passed, and the world is poorer for it,” he said.

Earlier Friday, Cernan and Apollo 13 commander James Lovell spoke at a Cincinnati hospital to help launch a children’s health fund in Armstrong’s memory.

Cernan and Lovell recounted visiting U.S troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with Armstrong, saying he always had an inspirational impact when meeting troops, schoolchildren and other admirers around the world.

Laconia police say 4 people ran into woods to try and avoid Court St. traffic stop

LACONIA — Laconia and Belmont Police are investigating an early Thursday morning traffic stop that led to four people running to the woods off Addison Street.

According to Sgt. Al Graton, Belmont Police were attempting to stop a motor vehicle headed to Laconia on Route 3 with four people inside but the car refused to stop.

Belmont Police followed the car onto Addison Street and Laconia Police said the four occupants left it and ran into the woods.

Laconia Police and a K-9 officer from Gilford were called to help set a perimeter and search for the four people.

Joseph Aldrich, 38, of 144 Valley St. and Alyssa Phillips, 29, of 11 C Jewett St. were located by the Gilford K-9 and charged by Laconia Police for resisting arrest. Police said yesterday both were released on personal recognizance bail.

Police also said the car was towed from Addison Street.

The driver and the fourth occupant were not located but police said there were able to gather information from the car that would identify the other two suspects.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the anonymous Greater Laconia Crime Hotline at 524-1717.

Lakeland School open for 25th year Lakeland School in Meredith earlier this week celebrated the opening day of the school year for the 25th time. The private school began in a small schoolhouse on Hilliard Road in Laconia (Weirs Beach).

It was then relocated to it current site at 40 Meredith Center Road, just south of the intersection with Rte. 104. The school educates students from preschool through 8th grade and offers all-day kindergarten. School officials pride themselves on taking a personal approach to education that begins with a commitment to small classes, where education, not crowd control, is said to be the order of the day.

Burglars went after safe at Dunkin’ Donuts

LACONIA — Police are investigating a burglary at the Union Avenue Dunkin’ Donuts at about 11:30 p.m.

Thursday night.

Police said the burglars entered through the back door and broke into the office where the safe was kept.

A safe had been moved and police believe the people who broke in were likely trying to remove it from the building but were scared off when the alarm sounded.

Nothing was taken from the business.

Police reviewed a surveillance camera and said they saw two people

enter the door through the rear of the building. The tape showed the two entering the office, moving the safe, and hurrying from the building.

One person was described as wearing a dark-colored coat or sweatshirt and khaki-colored pants while the other work dark-colored jeans and a dark-colored sweatshirt or coat. Police did not identify the gender of either person.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Laconia Police at 5245252 or the anonymous Greater Laconia Hotline at 527-1717.

Correction: Truck driver in accident is 51, not 37

Initial police reports regarding an accident on Thursday, involving a scooter and a box truck, listed an incorrect age for the truck driver. The driver, Todd Boucher, is 51 years of age.

According to witnesses, Boucher was traveling on Union Avenue and turn-

ing right onto Spring Street, when 37 year-old Joel Biron attempted to pass the truck on its right, resulting in a collision. Biron was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

YOSEMITE from page one nary syndrome call seeking answers.

“We’re reaching out and they are reaching out to us, and we are trying in every way shape and form to be transparent and forthright,” he said.

“We want to tell people this is what we know. The most important thing is the safety of park visitors and employees.”

On Thursday, the California Department of Public Health confirmed that a total of six people have contracted the disease at Yosemite, up from four suspected cases earlier in the week.

Alerts sent to state and county public health agencies, as well as local doctors and hospitals, have turned up other suspected cases that have not yet been confirmed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Additional suspected cases are being investigated from multiple health juris-

dictions,” the CDC said in an advisory issued to health care providers.

The illness that begins as flu-like symptoms can take six weeks to incubate before rapid acute respiratory and organ failure.

There is no cure, and anyone exhibiting the symptoms must be hospitalized.

More than 36 percent of people who contract the rare illness will die from it.

All of the victims confirmed so far stayed in the high-end, insulated “Signature” tent cabins in the park’s historic Curry Village section between mid-June and early July.

Park officials worked quickly to disinfect all 400 of the Curry Village cabins when the outbreak first was detected earlier this month. When the outbreak was narrowed to the 91 double-walled insulated cabins, the California Department of Public Health ordered them shut down Tuesday.

ISAAC from page 2 to be working.

“So far, operations seem to be proceeding as expected, and they seem to be working,” Jindal said.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was headed to Louisiana to tour the damage. Romney scheduled a last-minute visit Friday to Lafitte, La., with Jindal. Lafitte was the site of rescue efforts when Isaac’s tidal surge pushed in through the night Wednesday and into Thursday.

Shortly after Romney said he would visit Louisiana, White House spokesman Jay Carney announced that President Barack Obama would visit the state Monday to examine water and wind damage from Isaac.

In the Republican stronghold of Jefferson Parish, Romney could expect a friendly reception. One Republican, Mike Townsend, 47, said he was curious what Romney will say about Isaac and approaches to protecting the area.

“I like his business sense,” Townsend said.

In Lafitte, Richard Riley, 45, was pleased that Obama was coming to Louisiana.

“He needs to see the devastation and allocate the money that’s needed to build new levees or do whatever is needed to protect us,” Riley said.

New Orleans, spared any major damage, lifted its curfew and returned to its usual liveliness, although it was dampened by heavy humidity.

“I have a battery-operated fan. This is the only thing keeping me going,” said Rhyn Pate, a food services worker who sat under the eaves of a porch with other renters, making the best of the circumstances.

“And a fly swatter to keep the bugs off me — and the most important thing, insect repellent.”

The heat was getting to Marguerite Boudreaux, 85, in Gretna, a suburb of New Orleans.

“I have a daughter who is an invalid and then my husband is 90 years old, so he’s slowing down a lot,” she said, red in the face as she stood in the doorway of her house, damp and musky from the lack of air conditioning.

Drivers patrolled streets looking for gas and faced long waits at stations that had power Friday. Some stations were out of gas, but at others clerks said they had gas but no power to pump it.

At the Magnolia Discount Gas Station in New Orleans’ Carrollton neighborhood, employee Gadeaon Fentessa said up to 50 drivers an hour were pulling in, hopeful they could pump. He had the gas, but no power.

Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches of rain in some areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles.

The remainder of the storm was still a powerful system packing rain and the threat of flash flooding as it headed across Arkansas into Missouri and then up the Ohio River valley over the weekend, the National Weather Service said.

At least six deaths were reported in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Two victims, a man and a woman, were discovered late Thursday in a home in the hard-hit town of Braithwaite, south of New Orleans. Authorities said

deputies went to search for the couple after someone reported they had apparently not escaped the flooding.

A 75-year-old Slidell man apparently drowned when his SUV ran off a flooded interstate on-ramp and plunged into a ditch where the water was about 9 feet deep Thursday evening, Louisiana State Police said.

An unidentified man died in a restaurant blaze in Gretna that firefighters could not control because of Isaac’s strong winds Wednesday. Another man died falling from a tree during the storm and a tow truck driver in Mississippi was killed when a tree crushed the cab of his truck.

On Grand Isle, a barrier island on the Gulf, the town pumped away water. Sections of the only road to town had washed out.

On a street turned river in Reserve, on the east bank of the Mississippi River, two young men ferried their neighbors to the highway in a johnboat, using boards as paddles.

Lucien Chopin, 29, was last to leave his house, waiting until his wife and three kids, ages 7, 5 and 1 were safely away.

He was finally joining them late Thursday, hoping they would find a shelter.

His van was underwater and water flowed waisthigh in the house he’d rented for eight months.

“It’s like, everything is down the drain. I lost everything. I’ve gotta start all over.”

Cisco Gonzales, a heating and air conditioning business owner, said he got his boat and truck and headed for higher ground when he heard the water was rising quickly, from 0 to 6 feet of water in five minutes.

“I’ve never seen so much water in my life,” said Gonzales, who built a home in Braithwaite, southeast of the city, after his previous home was damaged by Katrina in 2005.

He rode out the storm at a ferry landing and when the weather calmed, he went out and rescued about a dozen people.

“I got back to my house Due to renovations at LHS, 10am Sunday Services to assess the situation, will be held in the Seventh-day Adventist Church Building, and it’s a mess,” he said.

Bernanke says Fed will do more for economy but no word on what or when

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. (AP) — Chairman Ben Bernanke sent a clear message Friday that the Federal Reserve will do more to help the still-struggling U.S. economy.

His remarks left two questions: What exactly will the Fed do? And when?

Bernanke described the U.S. economy’s health as “far from satisfactory” and noted that the unemployment rate, now 8.3 percent, hasn’t declined since January.

He stopped short of committing the Fed to any specific move. But in his speech to an annual Fed conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Bernanke said that even with interest rates already at super-lows, the Fed can do more.

He acknowledged critics’ arguments that further Fed action could fan inflation and inject other risks.

Yet after raising such arguments, Bernanke proceeded to knock them down.

Some economists predict the Fed will unveil some bold new step as soon as its Sept. 12-13 meeting, possibly a third round of bond purchases meant to lower long-term interest rates and encourage more borrowing and spending. That policy is called “quantitative easing,” or QE.

In two rounds of QE, the Fed bought more than $2 trillion of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Many investors have been hoping for a third round — a QE3.

“Bernanke has taken a further step along the path to more policy stimulus, most likely a third round of asset purchases (QE3) to be announced at the midSeptember FOMC meeting,” said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

Others expect something less dramatic: a plan to keep short-term rates near zero into 2015 unless the economy improves, perhaps followed by bond pur-

chases later.

In his speech, Bernanke assessed the economy’s weaknesses, defended the extraordinary steps the Fed has taken to date and insisted it can do more.

Investors took time to digest Bernanke’s speech but in the end seemed pleased. After his remarks were released at 10 a.m. Eastern time, the Dow Jones industrial average shed some of its earlier gains. Then it rose more than 100 points. It closed up about 90 points, or 0.7 percent.

Bernanke acknowledged that the Fed is operating in essentially uncharted territory.

EPPING (AP) — Authorities say a New Hampshire woman has been arrested four times in 26 hours for blasting the AC/DC song “Highway to Hell” and other loud music from her home and for throwing a frying pan.

Police first issued a warning to Joyce Coffey on Tuesday afternoon at her home in Epping. They say they were called back an hour later and arrested her for the loud music.

Police say Coffey was arrested again five hours later. She was released and arrested again before dawn Wednesday over more loud music.

Police arrested her again after her nephew said he tried to remove some of his belongings from her house and she threw the frying pan at him.

Coffey was jailed Friday and couldn’t be reached for comment. WMUR-TV reports a judge has recommended she use headphones.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Cold feet & wool socks I’ve been busy this week with three home inspections which is great and means I am selling something. Well, sometimes that is. Sometimes, things come unglued because of the home inspection process. Sometimes not. I gotta remember to bring wool socks to my next inspection. It could mean the difference between a successful inspection or not.

The most important step for a home buyer, after choosing which home to purchase that is, is the home inspection itself. A home inspection gives a buyer the comfort and confidence that someone with a trained eye is evaluating the property on his behalf. Every agent I know highly recommends to their buyers to engage the services of a professional home inspector to completely evaluate the condition of the property. Once a buyer has a home under agreement, agents generally provide a list of quality home inspection companies to choose from but buyers are free to utilize any inspector they want and can pick someone from the yellow pages or other sources if they desire.

The inspections have to be completed within a specific time period that is stated in the Purchase and Sales Agreement. The inspection period is usually between 7 and 14 days. Any significant issues or defects that are found during the process, which were not previously disclosed to the buyer, must be presented to the seller within that time frame if the buyer wants them corrected. The home inspection often becomes another point of negotiations if there are any issues. It is a point where deals may fall apart due to issues found that are too difficult or costly to overcome. The home inspection must be satisfactory to the buyer or he has a right to back out of the deal. A buyer can ask the seller to remedy any defects found either by making repairs or by providing some monetary incentive to satisfy him. That usually means a reduction in the purchase price or cash back to the buyer at closing. Sometimes there is agreement, sometimes there’s a compromise, and sometimes the deal sinks like the Titanic.

There is a wide range of inspections and tests that can be done on a home; the general building inspection, basic water tests, radon water and air tests, lead paint test, pest tests, and the septic system inspection if the home is not on city sewer.

The cost of a home inspection will vary depending on the size of the home and what inspections are to be done. Basic inspections start around $300350 for a smaller home, water tests can run from

$75 to $150, and radon air or water run a little under $100 each. Septic inspections usually go for $200-300.

This week I had one home that passed with flying colors. There were some very minor issues which my buyer felt he would not bother to ask to have corrected. He understands that every home is likely to have some maintenance issues or flaws that may need to be addressed. But in the interest of keeping the transaction on a smooth path he decided he would take care of any repairs later.

The next inspection seemed to go well until we discovered that there may be an issue with the septic. A septic inspection is very important as this can be a rather costly component of a home to fix.

Anyway, as a result of the inspection we need to do some further investigation and hopefully will resolve the issue so that the sale can proceed.

Lastly, I had a great inspection on a very nice waterfront home. The buyer hired reputable local inspectors for the building and the septic. He also brought along his “builder” to take a look at his potential new vacation home. There’s nothing wrong with that. Nor is there anything wrong with the home or the septic according to the inspection report. But by the time the builder was through advising his friend, they had $100,000 worth of upgrades or potential “future” costs that might or might not happen. They came up with things like; well, we might want to replace the decking with trex, someday we will need a new heating system, and someday the septic will need to be replaced.

The long and the short of it is, the buyer got cold feet. If I had only brought some wool socks for him to wear to keep his feet warm he would have bought the place. He spent a lot of time and money in finding a home and then talked himself out of it.

Too bad, he’s missing a great deal. But you know what? We’ll sell it to someone else...

We are fortunate in the Lakes Region to have a number of very qualified and knowledgeable inspectors to choose from. Most have them have been around a long time which says a lot about the quality of the services they provide. Retain their services and listen to their advice, it’s money well spent...

OBITUARY

Connie’s Ice Cream Counter Now Open Daily 11-4 pm

Judith A. Lavoie, 72 IPSWICH, Mass. — Judith Alice Lavoie, 72, of 7 Spillers Lane, died Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at Genesis Rehabilitation Center in Laconia, NH. All three of her children were fortunate to spend the last few days of her life with her.

She was born in Jamaica Plains, MA, the daughter of Roland and Nellie (Crowell) Melzard. She gained her Bachelor’s degree, despite a learning disability, from Worcester State College. She taught Home Economics for over 30 years, teaching at such places as Peabody High School and Essex Agricultural School. When not teaching or homemaking, she would often be seen in her boat ‘The Red Baron’ going down the Ipswich River trolling for stripers and bluefish. Artistic by nature, she also enjoyed oil painting, hunting for antiques, and reading mystery novels. She was a warm, humorous, and generous person who lived life fully.

She is survived by two sons; Dana Robert Lavoie of Virginia Beach, VA and Dean Roland Lavoie and

his wife Bonnie Lavoie of Marion, MA., one daughter, Deborah Ginger DuBois of Gilford, NH, one brother, Ronald Dwight Melzard of Oregon, an Aunt, Alice St. Hilaire of Byfield MA., and five grandchildren whom she dotted on: Roland DuBois, Ryan DuBois, Matthew Lavoie, Connor Lavoie and Madeleine Lavoie.

A private memorial service will be held at the East Washington family plot at a later date.

In memory of this most untraditional woman, Judy has asked that, in lieu of the traditional flowers, those among you who wish to commemorate her life to instead give flowers to those whom you care about as deeply as you did, and still do, for Judy.

Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements. For more information and to view an online memorial go to www.wilkinsonbeane.com .

Cat video festival held in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis tested the boundaries of legitimate art with a film festival devoted to the online cat videos that pervade YouTube and social networks.

It’s not unheard of for some cat videos to rack up as many as 50 million YouTube views. Most are simple: a cat tries and fails to jump into a cardboard box, or makes a ridiculously cute noise while eating a spoonful of sour cream. Some are more cinematic, with tricky angles, animated graphics, mood music and other tricks of the filmmaking trade.

Organizers of Thursday night’s festival said they wanted to find out whether the private experience of viewing the videos online would translate to a shared and social experience when shown on an outdoor screen on the museum’s grounds.

The festival made room for various kinds of cat videos, with categories for comedy, drama, foreign, animated, musical, art-house and documentary.

Participants voted on a “People’s Choice” award, and several “lifetime achievements” were handed out to a few of the all-time popular videos.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be aware of certain social dynamics of which you are not yet in control. But your awareness is the beginning of your getting a handle on things. In the days to come, you’ll change your “script.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

The physicist will suggest that two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A loved one will defy the laws of physics and get very much in your space.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your internal dialogue may get so heated that you become lost in thought and miss what’s happening in the outside world. Get active. When your body moves, your mind will relax.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). How you wish that a certain person would take the time to observe your life to try to understand where you are coming from. Alas, some people will remain clueless even when handed the clue.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). For long stretches, you are free of complaints. Then “the issue” comes back to mind; you’re having a hard time letting this one go. Drop everything, and actively involve yourself in finding a solution.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 1).

You’re through with waiting. You now give yourself fully to a project whether or not you have all you need. In seven weeks, you will have assembled a stellar team. December is your chance to see part of the world you’ve dreamed about. The soul connection you make in January is helpful in both business and pleasure. Leo and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 19, 3 and 11.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your timing is exquisite. You will be enthusiastic when it counts and confident when it matters most. Because of this, you’ll get the opportunity to trade something old for something new.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s likely that someone else’s ritual for health is not the right one for you -for instance, they like chicken soup, and you’re wondering about vegetable juice. You’ll experiment in creating your own rituals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you think you can do it, you can do it. The question is, do you really want it enough to put in the work? Today, you will see clearly how something you want more gets all of your attention.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are exceedingly clever, and there are benefits to sharing what you think -but not all of what you think. Put some lag time between your mouth and your brain. Filter your self-expression.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is not always possible, loving or wise to make yourself the center of your day, especially because so many people rely on you. But you can at least make yourself the center of an hour or two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today’s game is a kind of team sport, and you’ll have your choice of which position to play. Consider that each position comes with its own responsibilities and a specific role in moving the team to victory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). At this time, you don’t know how to get from point A to point B, but you’ll figure it out if you get moving. So don’t even bother telling people that you don’t know.

You’ll get it soon enough.

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.)

In 1902, the Georges Melies short film “Le Voyage dans la lune” opened in France.

In 1932, New York City Mayor James J. “Gentleman Jimmy” Walker resigned following charges of graft and corruption in his administration.

Page 24 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, September 1, 2012

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: For the past three summers, my friend “Don” has spent a few days with me at our family beach house. The second year, he hinted about visiting again and was pleased when I invited him back. Soon, he began referring to “his room” at the beach house and making regular comments about “next year.” I didn’t know how to respond, so I ignored the comments, even though I thought he was being a little presumptuous.

This summer, I told Don that I had invited another friend and his wife to join me at the summerhouse. His response was that all of us could go. Annie, even though there’s enough room, I want to have only this other couple. But all I could think to say to Don was “maybe.”

I’m guessing that his feelings are hurt, but I’m a little annoyed. What should I do? -- Awkward in Idaho Dear Idaho: You do not owe Don an invitation or an apology, nor are you responsible for whatever assumptions he has made about being entitled to stay at your beach house. Two invitations make you a generous host, not his lifetime roommate. Continue to be friendly with Don, but say nothing more about the summer place unless you are ready to invite him again. This is not your fault.

Dear Annie: My husband, a pastor, was asked to perform the wedding of our son’s friend and his bride. This involved two trips out of town. For the wedding, we had to drive more than 250 miles round-trip, board our dog for two days and pay for our own motel room, even though the bride said they would take care of it. The weekend cost us $230.

This is my gripe: My husband was not given a dime for his services. When I mentioned to him that in the future he might make it a condition of doing a wedding that his travel expenses be covered, he shrugged and said, “They probably

couldn’t afford it.” But they were able to afford everything else, plus a honeymoon!

This is not the first time he’s been stiffed, although bridal etiquette says it is customary to pay the clergyman $150 to $500 for his services. One couple offered to take us to dinner, but never did. Another couple gave him frozen fish.

Please tell bridal couples to be considerate of the clergyperson who has sacrificed to officiate at your wedding.

You would not hesitate to pay the limo driver or the stylist who does your hair. Be sure to budget a decent amount for the cleric’s services, especially if you know travel expenses are involved. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest.

-- Pastor’s Wife in the Northwest Dear Wife: The person who performs the service should be paid after the ceremony, preferably in an envelope along with a note of appreciation. Travel expenses also should be covered. Bridal couples can inquire about the fee at the church or synagogue office. But if your husband routinely goes unpaid, he could be a bit more assertive at the time he is asked to officiate by saying, “Please call the church office about the fee.”

Dear Annie: I can identify with “Married to an Octopus.” I have been married for 30 years and grabbed for most of them.

Explaining that this was more of an assault and an embarrassment rather than a form of affection fell on deaf ears.

Here’s what finally worked for me. I started grabbing him and saying, “Does this feel nice?” I wasn’t rough, but the mere threat to my husband’s manhood finally drove home the point that his octopus hands were unpleasant.

I also would like to suggest to “Married” that her lack of interest in sex may be less about her health and more about a negative association she has developed with her husband’s touch. -- Hands Off

Lochmere Meadows cuts costs and emissions using solar energy TILTON — Developed and owned by the Laconia Area Community Land Trust (LACLT), Lochmere Meadows is the first affordable housing development in the state to install both a solar thermal water heating and solar photovoltaic system.

Project funders NeighborWorks® America and TD Charitable Foundation, as well as representatives from the offices of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Congressmen Charles Bass and Frank Guinta joined LACLT and the installation team, the Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative (PAREI), to celebrate the completed project August 13.

Meadows solar energy installation will offset over 65,000 pounds per year of carbon dioxide pollution, and it will produce enough energy to heat the water needed for 21 apartment units, the electricity for street lamps and common spaces.

Sixteen solar thermal collectors will produce at least 191 million BTUs per year, saving an estimated 2,250 gallons of fuel each year (at current prices, $6,885 annually.) One hundred eighteen solar photovoltaic panels will produce an average of 32.4KW each year, resulting in an estimated saving of over $4,500 a year on From left, Peter Stewart, Board Vice Chair, Laconia Areas Community Land Trust (LACLT); Eric Petell, electric bills and the AVP/Store Manager, TD Bank-Laconia; Linda Harvey, Executive Director, LACLT; Deborah Boatright, nineteen LED lamp Northeast Regional Director, NeighborWorks® America; Carol Ford, VP and Regional Market Manager heads installed in the for Central NH Region of TD Bank; Ryan Barton, board member, LACLT; Jennifer Gabriel, Vice President, Community Relations Manager--New England/Upstate NY, TD Charitable Foundation.

Local chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society honor members’ service LACONIA — Delta Kappa Gamma (DKG) is an honorary international society that recognizes accomplished women teachers around the world.

Theta Chapter, located in the Laconia/ Meredith/ Gilford area, has 42 members of all ages. Recently the chapter honored Pat Bolduc, Nancy Gibbons, and Karen Sullivan for their dedication, support, and long-term membership.

In addition, the Theta Chapter has announced that Brenda Walker of Belmont will be installed as president in September, and Pamela Clark of Laconia and Marilyn Coffin of Lakeport will also be installed as vice presidents. Ann Hart of Gilford will serve

as recoding secretary, Rebecca Frame of Bristol will serve as corresponding secretary, and Gerna Magnusson of Gilford will serve as treasurer.

The chapter earns money through yard sales and raffles for scholarships to teachers, area students, and for the African schools campaign.

The members also visit the Belknap County Home monthly. In addition, the chapter offers the following programs, which are open to area women teachers who would like to know more about Delta Kappa Gamma or about Theta’s individual programs.

BetterBuildings offers energy efficiency programs in partnership with Unitil, NH Electric Co-op CONCORD — BetterBuildings is partnering with New Hampshire Electric Cooperative and Unitil to increase the scope and financing of the utilities’ popular energy efficiency programs. The increased funding will allow Unitil and NHEC to expand access to programs that offer incentives for energy-saving upgrades and no-interest financing for renovation costs.

Residents served by either electric utility can sign up for the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program online at their company’s web site. An energy professional will analyze their building and provide a list of upgrades and improvements customized for their home. Homeowners can receive a 50% rebate – up to $4,000 – to pay for the renovation costs.

Some of the eligible energy efficient improvements include adding insulation, reducing air infiltration and leakage, sealing ductwork, upgrading lighting, replacing old, inefficient refrigerators, installing water saving devices, and replacing home heating systems.

“We know that many people want their homes to be more efficient, but they don’t know where to start or have the cash on hand to do the work,” said BetterBuildings Program Manager Kate Peters. “This partnership allows even more homeowners to get upgrades and affordable options for financing them.”

The BetterBuildings collaboration will allow NHEC members to install additional efficiency measures not previously offered. It also allows Unitil’s customers to access additional financing up to $20,000 for these efficiency measures not previously covered, like exterior insulated siding, ENERGY STAR appliances, ENERGY STAR doors and windows, mold/mildew remediation, and radon/ water mitigation.

“Enhanced financing means that our customers can do more work and the upgrades are payable right on their monthly utility bill,” Unitil Energy Efficiency Program Coordinator Ben Stephenson said.

Mass. teenager starring in Hollywood movie

WHITMAN, Mass. (AP) — While his classmates may have spent their summer at camp, going to the beach or hanging out around town, Vinny Poirier starred as the lead in his first Hollywood film.

The 14-year-old Hanson resident stars as the title character in the independent production, “Michael Archangel,” filmed in August throughout the South Shore.

The plot is based around Poirier’s character, Michael, surviving in a post-apocalyptic zombie world.

Poirier was chosen for the role, which he said had many “intense” scenes, after an audition at Boss Academy of the Performing Arts where he has studied dance and acting for eight years.

“It was quite amazing,” said Poirier. “The first movie I ever auditioned for and I got the lead.”

The film is being produced by Robert and Brian Olson, brothers and Rockland natives. It was shot the first two weeks of August in locations around the area including Rockland, Hull and Hingham by a full crew flown in from Los Angeles.

“I loved every minute of it,” said Poirier. “If I could make a career of this I wouldn’t know what to think.”

Poirier, who will begin his freshman year at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School in a few weeks, said he got the itch to start dancing when his mother took him to an Aaron Carter concert when he was 7 years old.

TV’s ‘Starsky’ faces drug charge in Kentucky

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — The actor who played David Starsky in the 1970s police drama “Starsky & Hutch” is fighting a drug charge in Kentucky for what he says is medical marijuana from California.

The Daily News (http://bit.ly/NGCyPG ) in Bowling Green reports an attorney entered a not guilty plea on Thursday on behalf of 69-year-old Paul Michael Glaser of Venice, Calif.

Bowling Green police charged Glaser with possession of marijuana and a pipe on May 10, hours after he read an excerpt of his young adult novel, “Chrystallia and the Source of Light,” to students at a middle school.

According to a police citation, Glaser said he had medical marijuana prescribed to him in California.

He was arrested after an anonymous call to police that a man was smoking marijuana in a hotel. from preceding page quality service. He is thought of as an exceptional employee and is very deserving of this prestigious award.

Patriots cut Branch, Koppen & Hoyer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Patriots receiver Deion Branch tweeted his goodbye to the New England fans amid reports that he has been cut by the team.

The Most Valuable Player of the Patriots’ 2005 Super Bowl victory said, “Truly thankful for all the support from everybody. I Love You guys (hash) LovePeaceandHappiness.”

Branch was reportedly among the cuts the team made Friday as it got down to the NFL limit of 53 for next week’s opener. Also let go were backup quarterback Brian Hoyer and center Dan Koppen. Cuts were due to the league by 9 p.m.; the team had no announcement on Friday afternoon.

Branch, 33, re-signed with the Patriots in March after spending parts of six seasons in New England.

He recorded 51 catches for 702 yards and five touchdowns last year, and has 502 receptions for 6,499 yards and 39 touchdowns in his career.

Branch’s spot on the team appeared safe after the Patriots cut receivers Donte’ Stallworth and Jabar Gaffney earlier this week.

Branch was a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots, and was named MVP of their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005 after tying a Super Bowl record with 11 catches for 133 yards.

He was the first receiver to win the honor since San Francisco’s Jerry Rice in 1989.

He then spent four injury-plagued seasons with the Seattle Seahawks before returning to New England during the 2010 season.

Hoyer’s departure signals the emergence of Ryan Mallet as the backup to Tom Brady, as well as the team’s preference to carry just two quarterbacks on the roster.

Hoyer, 26, signed with New England as an undrafted rookie out of Michigan State in 2009 and served as Brady’s backup the past three seasons. He has played in just 13 regular season games with no starts. He completed 13 of 32 passes for 100 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions during the preseason, while Mallet went 25 of 52 for 260 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.

New England drafted Mallet out of Arkansas in the third round of the 2011 draft and he served as the third-stringer last season.

Koppen had been New England’s starting center since 2003 and had been a part of all three Patriots Super Bowl victories. The 10-year veteran fractured his ankle in the season opener last year and missed the rest of the season. from preceding page and variety of their animal program for the current year. Maggie Randall of the Hoof, Paw and Claw 4-H Club in Laconia took home this year’s trophy.

The most prestigious award, the Governor’s Trophy, is awarded annually to the senior 4-H member exhibiting at the fair who has the most outstanding record of 4-H work and who excels in civic and social activities, leadership and community service. This year’s honor went to Menuka Dhakal, who is a member of the Belknap County Teen Believers in Laconia.

The Belknap County 4-H program continues to produce an impressive crop of young folks who consistently demonstrate quality leadership and service to their communities. For more information on Belknap County 4-H programs call 527-5475.
