International company based in Lakeport finds loyal customers in N.H. By rOGer amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Madeira, a worldwide leader in producing fine embroidery thread, has had its American headquarters located in Lakeport for over a quarter of a century.

And during that time it has developed a

strong customer base among local contract embroidery businesses which use its products.

“With us, it’s all Madeira, all the time.

That’s all we’ve used in the 20 years we’ve been in business,’’ reports Rob Bolduc, of Piche’s Ski and Sport Shop’s print shop in

Belmont.

“It’s top quality. Madeira makes the best polyester threads in the business. They’re very durable,’’ adds Bolduc.

One of the print shop’s specialties is athletic team uniforms and Bolduc points out see MadEIra page 8

BELMONT — Selectman Chair Jon Pike can vote on a grandfathering provision that, if passed, could allow existing employees with ex-spouses on town insurance to continue their coverage. Selectmen are expected to address the issue at a meeting on Monday.

So said Town Attorney Laura Spector in an email to Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin sent Aug. 30 and recently given to The Laconia Daily Sun. Spector cautions that while his participation would be legitimate, it may not be a wise political choice because “we can see how the public might see him as so wrapped up in the issue that they would not understand that he does not have an actual conflict...”

Because Pike has a binding agreement with the town that allows him to continue health insurance coverage under his ex-wife’s policy, Spector said the vote whether or not to grandfather existing BELMONt page 7

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — Doctors are paid higher fees in the United States than in several other countries, and this is a major factor in the nation’s higher overall cost of health care, says a new study by two Columbia University professors, one of whom is now a top health official in the Obama administration.

“American primary care and orthopedic physicians are paid more for each service than are their counterparts in Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom,” said the study, by Sherry A. Glied, an assistant secretary of health and human services, and Miriam J. Laugesen, an assistant professor of health policy at Columbia.

The study, being published Thursday in the journal Health Affairs, found that the incomes of primary care doctors and orthopedic surgeons were substantially higher in the United States than in other countries.

Moreover, it said, the difference results mainly from higher fees, not from higher costs of the doctors’ medical practice, a larger number or volume of services or higher medical school tuition.

Such higher fees are driving the higher spending on doctors’ services, the study concluded.

Libya fighters: We’re battling in pro-Gadhafi town WISHTATA, Libya (AP) — Libyan fighters launched a two-pronged assault Friday on one of the last towns to resist the country’s new rulers, clashing with Moammar Gadhafi’s supporters inside Bani Walid as a weeklong standoff dissolved into streetto-street battles, the revolutionary forces said.

Libya’s new rulers had set a Saturday deadline for Gadhafi loyalists in Bani Walid to surrender or face an offensive but decided to attack Friday evening after Gadhafi forces fired volleys of rockets at the fighters’ positions around the town.

Abdullah Kenshil, the former rebels’ chief negotiator, said the former rebels

were fighting gunmen positioned in houses in the town and the hills that overlooked it.

Anti-Gadhafi forces were moving in from the east and south, and the fighters deepest inside Bani Walid were clashing with Gadhafi’s men about a mile (2 kilometers) from the center of the town, Kenshil said.

Revolutionary forces also battled loyalists to the east of the Gadhafi stronghold of Sirte on the Mediterranean coast, but were forced to pull back after taking heavy casualties in close-quarters fighting, a spokesman said.

Before the reported Friday evening assault on Bani Walid, Gadhafi holdouts in the city fired mortars and rockets toward the fighters’ position in a desert dotted

with green shrubs and white rocks, killing at least one and wounding several. Loud explosions were heard about six miles (10 kilometers) from the front line, followed by plumes of black smoke in the already hazy air. NATO planes circled above.

NATO says it is acting under a U.N. mandate to guarantee the safety of Libya’s civilian population. Its bombing campaign has been crucial to the advance of Gadhafi’s military opponents.

Daw Salaheen, the chief commander for the anti-Gadhafi forces’ operation at Bani Walid, said his fighters responded with their own rocket fire, and advanced on the town.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Undaunted by talk of a new terror threat, New Yorkers and Washingtonians wove among police armed with assault rifles and waited with varying degrees of patience at security checkpoints Friday while intelligence officials scrambled to nail down information on a possible al-Qaida strike timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Counterterrorism officials have been

working around the clock to determine whether the threat is accurate, and extra security was put in place to protect the people in the two cities that took the brunt of the jetliner attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon a decade ago. It was the worst terror assault in the nation’s history, and al-Qaida has long dreamed of striking again to mark the anniversary. But it could

be weeks before the intelligence community can say whether this particular threat is real.

Security worker Eric Martinez wore a pin depicting the twin towers on his lapel as he headed to work in lower Manhattan on Friday where he also worked 10 years ago when the towers came down. “If you’re going to be afraid, you’re just going to stay home,” he said.

Egyptian protesters break into Israeli Embassy in Cairo CAIRO (AP) — Protesters broke into the Israeli Embassy in Cairo Friday and dumped documents out of the windows as hundreds more demonstrated outside, prompting the ambassador and his family to leave the country. The unrest was a further worsening of already deteriorating ties between Israel and post-Hosni Mubarak Egypt.

Egyptian police made no attempt to intervene during the day as crowds of hundreds tore down an embassy security wall with sledgehammers and their bare hands or after nightfall when about 30 protesters stormed into the Nile-side high-rise building where the embassy is located.

Just before midnight, the group of protesters reached a room on one of the embassy’s lower floors at the top of the building and began dumping Hebrew-language documents from the windows, said an Egyptian security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

In Jerusalem, an Israeli official confirmed the embassy had been broken into, saying it appeared the group reached a waiting room on the lower floor. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to release the information.

Israel’s ambassador, Yitzhak Levanon, his family and other embassy staff rushed to Cairo airport and left on a military plane for Israel, said air-

port officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Israeli officials refused to comment on the ambassador’s departure.

No one answered the phone at the embassy late Friday.

Since the fall of Mubarak — who worked closely with the Israelis — in February, ties have steadily worsened between the two countries. Anger increased last month after Israeli forces responding to a cross-border militant attack mistakenly killed five Egyptian police officers near the border. Egypt nearly withdrew its ambassador from Israel, and protesters demanded the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador.

Calls have grown in Egypt for ending the historic 1979 peace treaty with Israel, a pact that has never had the support of ordinary Egyptians.

Several large protests have taken place outside the embassy in recent months without serious incident.

On Friday, Egyptians held their first significant demonstrations in a month against the country’s military rulers, with thousands gathering in Cairo and other cities. Alongside those gatherings, a crowd massed outside the Israeli Embassy’s building.

It quickly escalated with crowds pummeling the graffiti-covered security wall with sledgehammers and tearing away large sections of the cement and metal barrier, which was recently put up by Egyptian authorities.

Authorities say 54 year-old Plymouth man died of gunshot wounds PLYMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s attorney general says a Plymouth man died as a result of gunshot wounds.

Michael Delaney says authorities are investigating the death of 54-yearold John Labbe. He says Labbe was found dead in a building on his prop-

erty on Thursday.

After an autopsy Friday, Chief Medical Examiner Thomas Andrew determined it a homicide resulting from gunshot wounds.

State police ask that anyone with information about Labbe’s activities Tuesday through Thursday contact them.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s attorney general objected Friday to a proposed settlement in a tug-of-war over $110 million of surplus money in a state-created malpractice insurance fund because lawyers would get up to $27.5 million of it.

Attorney General Michael Delaney wrote the Legislature that the settlement is inconsistent with legislative intent and wants lawmakers to intervene.

“The people of New Hampshire will be outraged when they learn a private law firm is being paid $27 million at a time when there have been severe budget cuts to health and human services — services that could have been supported by these funds but instead are going to a private law firm,” said Colin Manning, spokesman for Gov. John Lynch.

Lynch had wanted to use the surplus to pay for services in the last budget, but the courts rejected the state’s claims to the money.

The rulings left policyholders, who include doctors and medical providers, expecting at least some of the money.

Delaney said the Legislature directed that the surplus be paid to the policyholders and the proposed financial settlement exceeds the threshold amount requiring their approval.

Manning said he hopes the Legislature will block the settlement.

Delaney said the law firm of Nixon, Peabody, LLP would be paid up to $27.5 million, which represents 25 percent of the $110 million surplus fund at issue.

Kevin Fitzgerald, an attorney at Nixon, Peabody who represented the plaintiffs in the case, called Delaney’s letter nothing more than an attempt at payback from the losing side.

“The attorney general is not party to the case,” he said.

Fitzgerald said the plaintiffs agreed when they hired the law firm that if it see INTERVENE page 11

Jim Hightower

Perry is not who he says he is Presidential wannabe Rick Perry is flitting all around the country — hither, thither and yon — spreading little “Perry Tales” about himself and the many wonders he has worked as governor of Texas.

His top Perry Tale is a creationist story about what he has modestly branded “The Texas Miracle.” While the rest of the country is mired in joblessness, says the miracle worker, his state has added 1.2-million jobs during his 10-year tenure.

I’ve built “a job-creating machine,” the governor gushed during one of his recent flits across Iowa, and a Perry PR aide smugly added, “The governor’s job creation record speaks for itself.”

Actually, it doesn’t. Far from having the best unemployment rate in the nation, the Lone Star State ranks a middling 26th, behind New York, Massachusetts and other states whose “liberal” governments he routinely mocks.

Even more damning, Perry’s Texas is not creating nearly enough jobs to keep up with its fast-growing population. Those 1.2-million new positions are 629,000 short of the jobs needed just to bring the state’s employment level back up to where it was in 2007. Some miracle.

Worse, probe even a millimeter into the million-jobs number that he is sprinkling around like fairy dust, and you’ll learn that Perry’s jobs are mostly “jobettes” that can’t sustain a family. They come with very low pay, no health care or pension, and no employment security, labor rights or upward mobility — many are only parttime and/or temporary positions.

Here’s a particularly revealing stat that the Perry pixies don’t want us to see: On his watch as governor, Texas added more minimum wage jobs than all the other 49 states combined. More than half a million Texans now work for $7.25 an hour or less. He can brag that he’s brought Texans down into a tie with Mississippi for the highest percentage of workers reduced to poverty pay.

Spreading even more fairy dust, Perry claims that his Texas Miracle is the result of him keeping the government out of the private sector’s way. But peek behind that ideological curtain, and you’ll find this startling fact: During Perry’s decade, the greatest job growth by far has come from the public sector, which has more than dou-

bled the number of new jobs created by the private sector.

One out of six employed Texans are now teachers, police officers, highway engineers, military personnel or other government workers — and many of these jobs were created with the federal money that Perry-the-candidate now loudly denounces. Indeed, he’s running around ranting about President Obama’s stimulus program, but he gladly accepted the third highest amount of stimulus funds taken by the 50 states.

There’s his miracle.

Interestingly, even his tea-partyish hatred — nay, loathing! — of big government’s intrusion into the lives of ordinary citizens turns out to be just another Perry Tale.

In fact, there would be no Rick Perry without the steady “intrusion” of government into his life.

Local taxpayers in Haskell County put him through their public school system — for free.

He and his family were dry-land cotton farmers, and federal taxpayers helped support them with thousands of dollars in crop subsidies — Perry personally took $80,000 in farm payments.

State and federal taxpayers financed his college education at Texas A&M, even giving him the extracurricular opportunity to be a cheerleader. Upon graduation, he spent four years on the federal payroll as an Air Force transport pilot who never did any combat duty.

Then, in 1984, Perry hit the mother lode of government pay by moving into elected office — squatting there for 27 years and counting. In addition to getting regular paychecks from taxpayers for nearly three decades as a state representative, agriculture commissioner, lieutenant governor and governor, he also receives platinum-level health care coverage and a generous pension from the state, plus $10,000 a month for renting a luxury suburban home, a covey of political and personal aides and even a publicly paid subscription to Food & Wine magazine.

So when this taxpayer-supported lifer flits into your town to declare that he will slash public benefits and make government “as inconsequential as possible,” he means in your life, not his.

Perry literally puts the “hype” in hypocrisy. Forget his tall tales and political B.S. — look at what he actually does.

LETTERS The professor is generously willing to educate the unwashed To the editor, Saturday, September 3rd is a day for all to remember. Professor Leo Sandy gave me and others permission to not accept his definition of racism if we so choose. It was a humbling moment for me while reading his letter to the editor. Here I was casting aspersions on this man by labeling him arrogant, pompous and self-indulgent. Then he reshapes my opinion of him by showing that he can be reasonable and fair minded to the common folk who dared to challenge his interpretation of racism. Why he is even willing to “accept responsibility for our lack of understanding”. He likes us, he really likes us. He must be, to be so willing to take on the task of educating those of us he must view as the great unwashed. God bless his little pea pickin elitist heart.

Later in his letter, he displays an uncommon sense of humor from someone of the “leftist” faith. A chuckle similar to when our president giggled about those “shovel ready jobs”.

The professor accused Bob Meade of “resorting to violent language” when pointing out discrepancies with his recent column and letter. Bob had the audacity, the unmitigated gall to suggest that the professor should be taken to the “woodshed”! Now that is really funny compared to his recent comment. Here is a quote from the pontificator of peace’s column of August 9, 2011. “About one fourth of all Tea Party members justify taking violence against the government”. While discussing the struggle states are having with their finances and growing welfare problem, the professor proclaims, “defense spending could actually increase to even more obscene levels with more wars of choice on the horizon. Tea Party members would probably have little problem with this”.

So good to know that the professor is willing to take time away from educating us to jab us with his jocularity.

He is kidding right?

If he was really being serious, then can you just imagine what he would say to NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu who said, “The evaporation of four million (people) who believe in this (Christian) crap would leave this world a better place”. Or how he

would chastise USA Today columnist Julianne Malveaux who said about Clarence Thomas on PBS, “The man is on the court. You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease. He is an absolutely reprehensible person”. Do you suppose the professor would think that President Obama’s charging Governor Scott Walker with “assaulting the unions” is as strong “attack language” as if he said the governor was taking the unions to “the woodshed”?

I wonder if he thinks many Tea Party folks are terrorists as well as racists?

Would that make the professor a racist for his view of the Tea Party since he obviously feels superior to those folks?

“Most of their criticism of the president is based on just not liking him personally which suggest the possibility of racist leanings”, again he references the Tea Party with faint praise.

Yes, there are some with racist leanings, but to suggest that “most” of the criticism is because Tea Party folks just don’t like him is ludicrous. Here is some “critical analysis” for the professor. The criticism is largely based on the fact that they don’t like his policies, period! The real truth is that if John Kerry or Al Gore were forcing these same liberal policies down our throats, the criticism would be every bit as strong and at times vitriolic.

The professor’s analysis is complete nonsense since he doesn’t offer one scintilla of evidence to back up his “deeper analysis” of the Tea Party.

Leo Sandy should indeed be taken to the woodshed for his violent, hypocritical rhetoric and narrow view of racism that would make black conservatives cringe while they probably would agree with Steve Earle that it is about “attitude”. Perhaps it is the professor who should just “chill out” as was his recommendation to Steve and Bob for their alleged use of “violent language”. Indeed professor, this is not one-upsmanship as you call it. It is calling you to task for your glib,self-righteous request for civility. You sir, said that “ideas should be attacked and not people”. You really should practice what you pontificate.

LETTERS Obama’s election was a farce with the most illegal votes ever To the editor, It’s time for Americans to start protecting our country from politicians.

Obama has been a disaster from day one. This never could have happened if our government had done its job!

Obama never was qualified to be a senator or president, since he WAS NOT a citizen of the USA! There is an absolutely correct birth certificate for him in Kenya, Africa. Although he denied that, it took him many years to come up with a FAKE Hawaiian “birth certificate”, which suddenly all in Congress accepted, without checking on it! But his life history gets worse: He went to Indonesia with a “new” Muslim father, where he got his early 15 years of education as a devout Muslim. There should not have been a basic problem with that, except it appears that he bought their “Anti America” jihad completely! He came back to the USA, stayed hidden as an illegal immigrant, faked his way into

politics and becoming a senator from Illinois. From there he learned how to manipulate politicians, and promote illegal voting, which eventually got him elected president, with no one checking his background. The election was a farce, with the most illegal votes ever. Since then it is obvious that he has done everything he can to DESTROY the USA! WHEN will the USA wake up and protect our nation?

None of that crap about “birthers”, when all the real information is available to anyone!

Obama is counting on his many illegal agreements with other countries, to allow any number of illegals to enter the USA with full government benefits, just so they can vote for him!

That MUST be stopped! It would be better for the USA to oust Obama NOW, rather than fight an illegal distorted election.

Jack Stephenson Gilford

Right-wingers won’t admit they hate having a black president To the editor, Well, Harry Accornero strikes out again. Like in baseball, folks. According to Harry, the president is a traitor because he allows illegals into the country. Is Harry aware that Obama’s deportation numbers exceed those of any president in history.

Watch at: Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHWniYecBaI. . . or read this at: http://icirr.org/ e n / r e f o r m - i m m i g r a t i o n - a m e rica/standing-racial-terror/4623.

Here is a chart for deportation by fiscal year: http://amvoice.3cdn. net/9d1585d0ce20801cf5_ghm6b5oub.jpg.

Printing money is done for a variety of reasons, including replacement of old bills, and is generally not a decision made by the president, but the Federal Reserve. Presently we are printing less than usual. See “Treasury Printing Less Currency As Cash Use Declines” @ http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/treasury-printingless-currency-as-cash.... Be aware that with some nations like China deliberately manipulating their currency, we may at times have to make counter-measures.

As far as oil is concerned, I remember when President Carter warned us about oil dependence. Has anyone paid serious attention? Reagan certainly didn’t. As soon as he moved into the White House, he removed the solar panels, Mr. Carter had put on the roof. Reagan preferred dependence on foreign oil. Mr Obama has continually tried to get renewable energies going but right wingers just mock and say drill baby drill. That will not work in the long term. And does Harry know that off-shore drilling and the number of oil rigs under the Obama administration is way higher than any president in recent U.S. history. See oil rig

chart at http://www.grist.org/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=http:// www.grist.org/i/as.... That chart was in the Wall Street Journal. What ally has Obama turned his back on? I know of none. The world changes and relationships do, too. Apologies for doing wrongs is the right thing to do in many cases. As a nation, we have screwed up many times. Good people own up to their mistakes. Ever hear of the “Trail of Tears”? Probably not.

Vietnam? Tuskeegee experiments?

Slavery? Toppling democratically elected governments in Chile and Iran to be replace by right wing dictatorships? I didn’t think so.

And just because Al Gore and RFK, Jr. go so low as to call dissenters treasonous, does that mean you have to go just as low?

Harry has not done his homework as he demands of others. Clearly he doesn’t know what he is talking about and is relying on the right wing rhetoric of their hateful media. Nothing any president has ever done rises to the level of treason and Mr. Obama’s record on immigration and energy utterly refute Harry’s psychobabble. Mr. Accornero is probably a virulent anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim racist as his language seems to imply. Right wingers won’t admit they hate having a black in the Oval Offfice but their over the top pathological hatred of Obama reveals the truth. Harry fears any change in American culture, clinging to the world that never was in the 1950s. We see this kind of belief system that represents itself in white supremacist groups, McCarthyism, and Fascism.

Where were your theatrics when Reagan signed his immigration law?

By the way Harry, does “Rep.” stand for reprehensible?

LETTERS Unions spent $30-million to try to oust 6 republicans in Wisconsin To the editor, Steam roller public employee teacher unions met their fate in Wisconsin. The media spectacle and screams of protest are over. The dust finally settled a couple weeks ago with recall elections that democrats were certain would result in the repudiation of Governor Scott Walker’s frontal assault on union bargaining rights. Unions spent an unbelievable 30 MILLION dollars of union dues trying to oust six Republicans to gain legislative control. The effort failed and all Of Walker’s legislation has been implemented. The PRIMARY use of all union dues is to buy ELECTION OUTCOMES, not subsidize union members as you can clearly see.

Not surprisingly, most of the cities and towns across Wisconsin have been able to balance their school budgets despite the reduced outlay of money from the state by making ONE CHANGE. What single change could save the state so many millions of dollars. With Walker’s amendments to bargaining rules every city and town was able to purchase competitively bid health insurance costing millions less rather than being FORCED to buy insurance from the preferred UNION provider specified by UNION contract. Teachers UNIONS had finally lost their STRANGLE HOLD on TAXPAYER’S WALLETS. During the clash, teachers in Wisconsin demonized Scott Walker and Republicans putting photos of Walker in rifle cross hairs. Walker even had body guards during the height of the protests. Teachers alleged unions were being unfairly assailed and Obama even weighed in calling it union busting. Unions wailed that sacred union sanctity was being threatened. God save unions was the battle cry of

activists. Let me share some statistics that show the TOTAL HYPOCRISY of unions and union employees.

One of Walker’s other bargaining changes stated the state would stop collecting union dues from teachers’ checks. Let the unions do there own collecting from their members.

It is too early to tell the effect of that change in Wisconsin but this is what has happened in other states where this change has been implemented.

1. In 2001, when Colorado stopped deducting union dues, the membership in the Colorado public employees union dropped 70-percent.

2. Indiana stopped deducting union employee dues in 2005 and by the beginning of 2011 there were 90-percent fewer dues paying members.

3. The same is true in Utah where union dues paying members are off by 90-percent when the state ceased the collection of dues.

4. In Washington State the percentage drop in union membership is 71-percent went they stopped deducting dues from pay checks.

Public union employees screamed that Walker and Republicans were intentionally destroying unions. Yet, the moment teachers had to write checks to pay their UNION dues from their OWN bank accounts to SUPPORT UNIONS so DEAR to them they STOP doing so by the tens of thousands. The same teachers screaming at the top of their lungs that their precious union was being ravaged by heartless, Republicans STOP supporting and funding unions as if doing so assured one of contacting the plague.

This represents one of the finest examples of hypocrisy in America I have ever seen.

From the conservative view, liberals also appear to follow the herd To the editor, In Thursday’s Sun. Ms. Loesch heaps praise on liberal James Veverka for, “giving us the facts without hysteria, innuendo or accusation.” In the next letter Mr. Veverka rants about the,”ignorance of those who propagate (conservative) nonsense. Talk radio, right-wing blogs and Fox News just spit lie after lie.” No innuendo or accusation there.

Leo Sandy gets good reviews for his critical thinking essay. Personally, I loved it and agreed enthusiastically. However, I cannot reconcile any of it with liberal

thinking on economics and political philosophy; subjects that I have studied in depth and critically for over 50 years.

Veverka sums up with, “Conservatives just aren’t critical thinkers; they are herd animals who follow the stench.” Odd, that is precisely how I think of liberals,but without the charming “follow the stench” touch.

Its all very confusing. I can only empathize with Russ Wiles in his letter; “Will someone please help me understand how the left-wing liberal mind works.”

Kelsey’s at the Grant presents . . . . . . . . .

First United Methodist Church celebrates 150 years of community To the editor, The First United Methodist Church of Laconia/Gilford is about to begin it’s formal celebration of its 150th Anniversary of its founding. The next few weeks will be a time for rejoicing.

At first glimpse that would seem to be about only a small portion of our communities. Reality is, however, it is about all of us — especially you.

For 150 years we’ve shared together as loving neighbors in life itself. We’ve baptized your children, celebrated the marriages of loved ones, and remembered the life and faith of persons dear to us all. We’ve educated and loved each other’s children, opened our arms to each other to serve our neighbors, sent loved ones off to war and prayed together for their safety, worked together, and celebrated life together.

Over the years in community, we have fed the hungry together,

responded to the real needs of our neighbors, and loved each other in the name of our Lord.

We have shared every aspect and moment of life together in acts of faith and hope.

Together with you, we have woven a great and beautiful Tapestry of Life celebrating Faith, Hope, and Love. That great Tapestry is not yet finished and we hope to continue to weave it’s beauty with you.

We believe that this anniversary is about us ALL! We sincerely hope you will share in and celebrate it as you have shared in and enriched our life over these many years! We have been and are here to serve each other and the world around us. We thank you for all the ways you have assisted us to be God’s faithful servants! You are our family. Thank you. God bless you.

BELMONT from page one employees would not effect him.

Belmont residents learned last month that Pike, after threatening the town with a lawsuit, entered into an agreement that would allow him to stay on ex-wife Town Clerk Cynthia DeRoy’s health insurance at the town’s expense until he turns 65 and also pay him $11,100.

Residents also learned that Pike is not the only ex-spouse to be afforded this benefit although Beaudin said there is no instance where this practice is costing the town additional money.

Two weeks ago, Selectmen voted to discontinue the former practice and adopted an official policy prohibiting it. Pike was at the meeting but did not participate in the discussion or the vote.

Typically in legal worlds, where there is no official policy what has been done before sets precedence and, according to Spector, Pike’s legal agreement with the town supersedes

any policy adopted after it.

The general release of all claims that provide some details into Pike’s agreement is on file with the office of the town clerk. However, Pike and the remaining two selectmen are prohibited from commenting about the actual agreement or what led up to it.

According to official minutes, the vote to enter into the agreement was taken on June 6 and was “moved and seconded” by Selectman Ron Cormier after Pike recused himself and left the room. Selectmen David Morse also recused himself for personal reasons.

The minutes of the entire June 6 meeting were adopted at the next meeting - in a meeting where neither Cormier nor Beaudin attended. Both Pike and Morse voted to accept them.

Selectmen meet at 5 p.m. in the Corner Meeting House. Their agenda indicates there is a scheduled nonpublic session after the Pledge of Allegiance for personnel reasons.

Marine Patrol issues No Wake order for Silver Lake TILTON/BELMONT — The New Hampshire Marine Patrol has instated a “no wake” order for Silver Lake due to high water. The order will be

repealed once the lake level has dropped below 467 feet above sea level.

A story about the annual 24-hour POW/MIA Vigil hosted by the American Legion that was published in our Friday, Sept. 9 edition included incorrect information as to the location of the event. The vigil will take place at the N.H. State Veterans Home in

Tilton, behind the main building. There will be an opening ceremony at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning (Sept. 10) and a closing ceremony on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Correction: POW/MIA vigil held at Veterans Home

MADEIRA from page one that the uniforms, especially those worn by baseball and football teams over multiple seasons, “get beat on pretty badly, but the threads last.’’

He lives near Madeira’s Lakeport headquarters and says that he often stops by on the way to work or on his way home to pick up thread for new orders.

According to Bolduc, “It’s really convenient and they go out of their way to have what we need, espe-

cially for orders where we need a quick turnaround.’’

His company recently had only a three-day window to embroider 150 jackets for a golf tournament for NBC. He’s done work in the past for the “NBC Today Show,” embroidering jackets which were worn on Meredith Viera’s last day on the show, as well as for the “NBC News” crew during the 2008 presidential debates.

Hajo Voeller, president/CEO of Madeira USA, and Colleen Hartigan, vice president of sales, stopped by Piche’s recently and were given a tour of its operations

by Bolduc.

“I was very impressed” said Voeller, who explains that Madeira USA makes it a point to stay in touch with its customers in order to better serve their needs.

Another local embroidery company, New England Embroidery in Madison, has been in business for 37 years and is another fan of Madeira thread products.

“It’s the only thread we use. It runs well and we never have an issue with it. Its consistency is just wonderful,’’ Rob Bolduc (left) of Piche’s Ski and Sports Shop’s printing division recently gave a tour of his business explains Anne Larson, to Colleen Hartigan, vice president of sales for Madeira USA, and Hajo Voeller, president and CEO of owner of New England Madeira USA. Hartigan holds a jacket embroidered with Madeira thread for the “NBC Today Show.”

Corry challenges litigants on Budget Committee

GILFORD — Mark Corry told the Budget Committee on Thursday that he was concerned that two of its members — Kevin Leandro and David Horvath — recently took the school district to court to compel the School Board to implement the plan for the administration of the School District endorsed by the voters and approved by the New Hampshire Department of Education (DOE) in 1998, which does not include the positions of either superintendent or assistant superintendent for business.

A former member of the Budget Committee, Corry questioned whether the pair could be impartial in reviewing the school district budget and chided them for saddling taxpayers with additional legal costs. “This is not an appropriate way for members of the Budget Committee to carry on,” he said.

Dick Hickok, chairman of the Budget Committee,

said that the members were elected and responsible only to the voters. He likened the issue to questions raised when Doug Lambert and Skip Murphy, then both members of the Budget Committee, launched GilfordGrok, the blog that occasionally chastised their colleagues on the committee as well as other town officials. “Only the voters control them,” Hickok said.

“I’m not saying they should resign,” Corry said.

Leandro, who has been among the most outspoken and persistent critics of the School Board, insisted that “I’ve never presented myself as a member of the Budget Committee,” adding that he has pursued the issue personally, as a resident and taxpayer.

Horvath said that the litigation was a separate issue from the school district budget and assured the committee that he would consider it solely on its merits.

Moultonboro police chief resigns, selectmen announce

MOULTONBOROUGH — Selectmen announced yesterday that Police Chief Thomas Dawson has resigned.

The press release said only that Dawson resigned because of “philosophical differences” between he and the Selectmen.

Daily operations will be handled by Sgt. Peter Beede - a 16-year veteran of the Moultonborough Police Department. Selectmen said the discussion about the permanant replacement for Dawson will be held at a later date.

Dawson served as chief for two years. He couldn’t be reached for comment.

REUNION from page one a reception area set up in the main lobby.

Current LHS students will be on hand to give guided tours of the the facility from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Attendees have a choice of either attending the football game, the LHS Sachems vs. the John Stark Regional High School Generals - a key match-up between Division IV rivals - or watching one of three video presentations called Down Memory Lane that was produced by media arts students.

The cafe opens for guests from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.

The cost for participation for the entire event is $10 (and includes the football game) and all proceeds will go to the Lakes Region Scholarship Fund.

Alumni will also have tables arranged by decades with opportunities to donate to the fund while looking at pictures and yearbooks from days past.

For more information or for those wishing to help with the project, please contact Janet Brough at 524-5710.

from preceding page The company has two large 12-head computercontrolled embroidery machines, Larson continues, and she credits the quality of the thread for helping to produce trouble-free operations over the years.

And having a Madeira location in New Hampshire makes it very convenient for her business.

“We’re just one day away from having the product we need,’’ says Larson, adding that she knows many embroidery businesses in the state who also use only Madeira thread.

Bob Callahan of NEST Embroidery at Bayview Industrial Park in Gilford also speaks highly of the international thread company that is right around the corner.

“Madeira is the best quality thread that we run.

And having them in our backyard is such an advantage. They always have what you need if you run short on big orders,’’ advises Callahan.

He says that he has frequent visits from Madeira’s marketing and customer service staff, who get

to see exactly how their thread is used and are able to apply what they have seen to provide even better service for their customers.

“It makes us proud to see so many things made with our thread everywhere we look, from local businesses, to national television, and local sports teams caps and uniforms,” adds Voeller.

He points out that Madeira, which was founded in Freiburg, Germany, in 1919, has established a global network of subsidiaries and distribution centers.

Madeira USA serves over 24,000 customers in the U.S. through its 12 Customer Service Centers, enabling it to ship via UPS Ground for next day delivery to 89-percent of its customers, and in two days to the rest.

With that kind of customer service and long-established record of quality products which are environmentally friendly, it’s no wonder that Madeira is an industry leader that has captured the lion’s share of the market.

What might come as a surprise to some, is that this company is located right in our own backyard.

Wade Davis too good for Red Sox, Rays win 7-2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Wade Davis threw a six-hitter, John Jaso hit a three-run homer and the Tampa Bay Rays moved within 5½ games of AL wild-card leading Boston with a 7-2 victory over the Red Sox on Friday night.

Davis (10-8) struck out eight in his second career complete game. The right-hander, who had his other complete game on Sept. 17, 2009, had gone 0-2 with an 11.12 ERA in three previous starts against Boston. Tampa Bay pitchers have 15 complete games this season.

Jaso put the Rays ahead 3-0 with a three-run homer off John Lackey (12-12) in the second. He entered 8 for 37 (.216) in 14 games since returning from strained right oblique last month. Boston has lost five of six. After two more games in Florida this weekend, the Red Sox will host Tampa Bay in a fourgames series that starts Thursday at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox were without infielder Kevin Youkilis, who returned to Boston to have his sore hip examined by team doctors and undergo an MRI exam.

Rays designated hitter Johnny Damon was back in the lineup after missing the previous three games because of a sore right leg. He had an infield single during the third that moved him past Doc Cramer into 62nd place on the all-time hits with 2,706.

Damon and Matt Joyce had RBI singles in the third to made it 5-0. Jaso later in the inning hit a two-out shot with the bases loaded off Lackey’s left leg, but the pitcher recovered to picked up the ball and throw the Rays’ catcher out at first.

Lackey left with a bruised calf and was replaced

by Scott Atchison to start the fourth. Lackey, who has lost three consecutive starts, gave up five runs, five hits and three walks in a 69-pitch outing.

Jacoby Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 14 games with an RBI infield during a two-run sixth that got Boston within 5-2. The other run scored on Marco Scutaro’s sacrifice fly.

The Rays got both runs back in the bottom of the sixth on RBI doubles by Reid Brignac and Evan Longoria.

Notes: Tampa Bay has won 19 in a row when scoring five runs or more. ... Red Sox manager Terry Francona said RHP’s Clay Buchholz (lower back) and Josh Beckett (sprained right ankle) are making progress. A schedule for when Buchholz could throw off a bullpen mound may be determined this weekend. ... Boston recalled Atchison from Triple-A Pawtucket before the game. ... Red Sox RHP Kyle Weiland (0-1) and Tampa Bay RHP Jeremy Hellickson (12-10) are Saturday’s scheduled starters.

LIBYA from page 2 ing with snipers,” Kenshil said. “They forced this on us and it was in self-defense.”

He said three Gadhafi loyalists had been wounded and three killed, while the former rebels had one dead and four wounded. He said the former rebels had taken seven prisoners.

Kenshil said the former rebels believed that there were about 600 Gadhafi supporters in and around Bani Walid.

“Snipers are scattered over the hills and the rebels want to chase them,” he said. “There is hand-to-hand combat. The population is afraid so we have to go and protect civilians.”

Interpol said it had issued its top most-wanted alert for the arrest of Gadhafi, his son Seif al-Islam and the country’s ex-chief of military intelligence.

The three are sought by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity, and there have been reports Seif al-Islam is in Bani Walid.

The elder Gadhafi hasn’t been seen in public for months and went underground after anti-regime fighters swept into Tripoli on Aug. 21. As the National Transitional Council tries to establish its authority in Libya, speculation about Gadhafi’s whereabouts has centered on his

hometown of Sirte, southern Sabha, and Bani Walid, 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli. Gadhafi loyalists in all three towns have been given until Saturday to surrender, or face an all-out battle.

Officials in the National Transitional Council — which is the closest thing to a government Libya has now but still has only shaky authority — had set a Saturday deadline for the city of 100,000 to surrender.

They have hoped to negotiate a peaceful entry into the city, but talks with local leaders have gone nowhere.

Before the former rebels announced their offensive, the dozens of fighters deployed at checkpoints outside the city were clearly impatient to move in.

Osama al-Fassi helped unload ammunition from the back of a large truck with a sense of urgency. The bearded man in sand-colored fatigues said that with Gadhafi loyalists rocketing the front line, he didn’t attach much importance to the political leaders’ plans.“We in the field decide when we enter the city with force,” he said as he loaded wooden boxes of Russian manufactured ammunition into a pick up truck that was headed to the front. The truck was quickly filled with RPGs still in plastic wrapping, small mortar rockets, and metal boxes of ammunition.

30-page survey for Michael Jackson jurors is released

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The first phase of jury selection in the trial of Michael Jackson’s doctor concluded Friday with 145 prospective jurors cleared for further questioning after answering an in-depth questionnaire probing their views about the King of Pop and the criminal case against his doctor.

The 30-page questionnaire, which seeks extensive personal information, challenged prospective jurors to share their feelings about the dead superstar and about the fact that his famous family members will be in court every day for testimony.

They were asked whether they have seen the posthumous Jackson concert movie, “This Is It,” and whether they have bought Jackson CDs, DVDs or memorabilia.

“Have you ever considered yourself a fan of Michael Jackson or the Jackson family?” they were asked.

They were required to specify how much they know about the involuntary manslaughter case against Dr. Conrad Murray, who has pleaded not guilty in Jackson’s death from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

Among the questions: Have potential jurors read newspaper stories about the King of Pop’s death?

Have they followed coverage of legal developments?

Did they watch the funeral or memorial service for Jackson who died on June 25, 2009, or did they try to attend the services in person?

The form also gave prospective jurors a warning that publicity about the case will be heavy and they must ignore it.

“There will be cameras, reporters members of the Murray and Jackson families, and members of the public present in the courtroom,” said one question. “... Would the presence of cameras and these people affect your responsibility to be completely fair and impartial to both parties in the case?”

One question already answered in court was that every member of the jury pool has heard of the high profile case.

The questionnaire included a list of 27 drugs including the anesthetic propofol. Potential jurors were asked whether they had a familiarity with the substances, whether they or anyone they know has taken them and whether they have ever had anesthetic for a medical procedure.

Murray is accused of gross negligence in his treatment of Jackson and prospective jurors were asked about their attitudes toward doctors.

The prospects were asked if they followed media coverage on high profile cases including those of O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake, Phil Spector and Casey Anthony.

“Did you form any opinions about the criminal justice system as a result of following these cases?” the form asked.

They are asked to state if they have formed an opinion on Murray’s guilt or innocence.

As in a speech the judge gave to them in person, potential panelists were warned on the questionnaire to avoid Internet coverage of the case including posts on Facebook, Twitter and blogs.

Among the 113 questions asked of prospects was whether they believe celebrities receive special treatment in the criminal justice system.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor decided Friday there were sufficient prospective jurors available to go on to the next phase — in-court questioning on Sept. 23.

Lawyers will begin studying the questionnaires in which participants also disclose their backgrounds and knowledge of Jackson’s career. Some could be dismissed if they expressed extreme bias in the case.

Pastor lectured the jury candidates earlier in the day on the importance of jury service and their duty to insulate themselves from outside information about the trial.

“The electronic age is upon us,” said Pastor, “and there are numerous mechanical devices for obtaining information.”

INTERVENE from page 2 took the risk of taking on a popular sitting governor on a contingency fee basis, they would accept a 25 percent fee. Fitzgerald said a hearing is scheduled Thursday in Merrimack County Superior Court on whether the settlement should receive preliminary approval.

“I don’t know what conclusion the court is going to reach on the fee,” he said.

Fitzgerald said the settlement affects about 6,000 policyholders.

The Joint Underwriting Association fund was created by the Insurance Department in 1975 to pro-

vide affordable medical malpractice insurance to high-risk health care providers. It has been at the center of a dispute since Lynch tried to use money from the surplus to balance the state budget.

The state Insurance Department said the JUA faces a potential tax liability if it loses its tax-exempt status as a result of the dispute.

Delaney said the Legislature passed a law setting a $25 million reserve to satisfy any potential unresolved federal tax liabilities and included a provision to recapture a pro-rated share of any distribution to policyholders that exceeded that amount.

Local orchards loaded with fruit as pick-your-own season arrives (An editing error resulted in only a portion of this article appearing in the September 9 edition. We reprint it today in full.)

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORTON — Local apple orchards are filled with ripe early season apples as the pick-your-own season arrives.

The third annual New England Apple Day was celebrated across the region on Wednesday but some people have already made their annual visit to orchards around the Lakes Region, many of which have already opened.

Among the first to open was the Surowiec Farm on Perley Hill here, where Matthew and Abigail Batchelder of Plymouth arrived just before noon on Sunday with their two daughters, Samantha, 4, and Madison, 2, to pick some Paula Reds, which along with Ginger Golds are now ready to pick.

“It’s an old-fashioned family activity that we want to make into a tradition with our children,” says Matthew, a programmer at Plymouth State University and the grandson of former State Supreme Court justice William Batchelder.

Steve Surowiec says that his six acre orchard has a good crop and was hardly touched by Hurricane Irene. He said that by the weekend or early next week Macintosh apples will be ready.

In addition to the early varieties, he also offers Cortland, Macoun, Empire and Honey Crisp, the latter of which is one of his favorites.

“It’s a great apple for eating. Great flavor,” says Surowiec.

Also open last weekend was Stonybrook Farm on Glidden Road in Gilford, which was featuring Ginger Gold and Mcintosh.

Smith Apple Orchard in Belmont, owned and operated by Rob and Wende Richter since December of 1985, opened on Friday.

Under previous ownership, their farm was a pioneer in pick-yourown apples back in the 1950s.

Richter says that he has a huge crop this year, “maybe one of the biggest I’ve ever seen.

But I don’t know why.”

He said that he lost

six small trees to Irene which were “snapped off right at the graft” and that several of his larger see next page

Samantha Batchelder, 4, of Plymouth, picked apples last weekend with her two-year-old sister Madison at the Surowiec Farm in Sanbornton. (Roger Amsden photo for the Laconia Daily Sun)

from preceding page trees, heavy with apples, lost limbs to the wind.

The Richters continue the orchard’s long tradition as a place for pre-schoolers to visit and don’t charge the many school groups who plan their field day visits every September or October.

“Watching the kids have a good time is reward enough,” says Wende, who says that both she and her husband were thrilled to be honored several years ago with the Lakes Region Child Care Business Champion Award for their support of early learning programs in the Lakes Region.

“We do love it and wouldn’t want to be doing anything else,” says Rob, who says that he and his wife view themselves as the caretakers of a long tradition of apple growing at the orchard, which still has many of the original Mcintosh and Cortland trees planted by Charlie Smith in 1928, when he was entering his senior year at the University of New Hampshire.

He says that the 15-acre field which was planted

by Smith had originally been an open pasture across the road from a large farmhouse on Leavitt Road. The farmhouse burned and was replaced by a smaller home the Smith family built.

Over the years Smith hired crews of workers to pick the apples but by the 1950s, when only the reddest fruit was considered acceptable for sale and there was no wholesale market for the rest, Smith made the novel step of opening his orchard to sell directly to the public, becoming what may have been the very first “pick-your-own’’ operation in the entire state.

“He told us he made more selling that way than he did on the wholesale market. And it became very popular with people coming here and picking the orchard clean every year,” says Rob. There’s even a story about the tradition of opening the orchard on a Friday. Smith told the Richters that

he had so many complaints from local people that out-of-staters were flocking to the orchard and getting the best apples when it opened on a Saturday that he decided to open it a day earlier so that local people would enjoy the first picking.

Today, in addition to the Mcintosh and Cortland, some of which are growing on 80-year-old trees, the orchard offers Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious, Jona Gold, Ginger Gold and MaCoun.

As the older, full-size trees are lost to old age, (some 200 remain) the Richters are replacing them with dwarf and semi-dwarf trees and now have some 3,000 apple trees.

The smaller trees are easier to take care of and produce larger apples according to Rob, who got his start in the apple business in Madison, Maine, not far from Skowhegan, and was being groomed to take over the management of a large apple orchard there when he tore up his knee two days before the apple harvest started.

He said that he made his living in the corporate world until he moved to Laconia, where one of the first persons he met was Charlie Smith, who once he got to know about his interest in apple growing told him “you should buy this place.”

He and Wende eventually did just that and Wende recalls that Smith was very helpful to them, even encouraging them to buy additional nearby land

he owned that had a second pond on it so that they would always have a backup water supply for the orchard.

The orchard also sells pumpkins, mums, cider, gourds, cornstalks, and home-grown honey and on busy days provides tractor rides in and out of the orchard.

“We’d like to see this orchard stay like this forever,” says Rob, who says that even with current use taxation at a lower rate because the land is maintained as open space, the taxes and costs of running the orchard are still so high that he and Wende couldn’t continue if it weren’t for their cleaning business.

“A lot of people look at the land and say that it’s too valuable to grow apples on. But that’s what it’s been doing for 80 years and we’d like to see it stay that way,” he says.

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will wonder what people experience in working and dealing with you. You will put some thought into this so that you may create just the impression and relationship dynamic you want to have.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will be tempted to elaborate for impact or to speak in a way that will flatter your listener. Usually, this would go undetected, but today, if you stretch the truth, it will snap back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll be compliant and agreeable when you sense that your cooperation will help things run smoothly. You will not be brainwashed, though. When you sense someone is trying to have too much control, you’ll fight back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In some way, you are getting ready for a confrontation you do not really want to have. Einstein suggested, “You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t bother with second-rate service. You’ll save yourself time and money by going to “the master.” This will be true even when “the master’s” cost appears at first to be higher than the rest.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 10).

Kindness comes naturally to you.

Because you are empathic to the plights of others, you will be loved by many. This month brings a number of enticing invitations. Your investment in a new interest will pay off by February.

Family will require your leadership in December. Seize a coveted position in May. Leo and Aries people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 33, 11 and 50.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If there’s anything you hate, it’s being “hard sold” on something you really don’t need.

You’ll sense that someone is taking a calculated approach to gain your approval, and you’ll resist the effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel nostalgia for the past, though you also realize that the time to be alive is now. The opportunities are many, and you have more control over your life than ever before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your imagination can take you to magical places just as easily as it can solve the most practical problem. The key is in letting it go where it will, without burdening the process with too many rules, limits and controls.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even if you choose to go along with the crowd, you won’t fit in. Instead, you will be bold, beautiful and colorful, standing out against the backdrop of a bland mass of followers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The biggest mistake people make in trying to attract new business or love is being too selfcentered. Both business and love are about filling a need for the other person.

You understand this, so you will do well in both regards.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your neighborly attitude might lead you to learning more than you wanted to know about those who live close to you. However, you will be better off for having been armed with this knowledge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have no problem admitting your mistakes, as you realize it would be unfair for you to expect yourself to automatically know how to behave in every situation. For this same reason, you are also forgiving of others.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, September 10, 2011— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am married to a wonderful man with a teenage son from a previous marriage. I love them both dearly. We now have two toddlers and a baby on the way.

The problem is my mother-in-law. She left my father-inlaw several years ago for a more exciting life (which has failed miserably). Mom maintains a close relationship with my hubby’s ex, which is fine. However, she insists on inviting us to the same family functions. The first time she did it, we told her it makes us uncomfortable, and she had a temper tantrum and asked us to leave.

Our relationship with her is rocky at best. She often invites the ex to family functions at her home instead of us, and then complains to others that she doesn’t see our children enough. Of course, if anyone mentions my father-inlaw, she bristles and says something derogatory.

She is welcome to maintain her ties to her first daughterin-law. But when she specifically chooses the ex’s company over ours, she forfeits that time with our children and distances herself further from our family. We don’t hate the ex. We just don’t care to share every family barbecue with her.

We have very close relationships with my own parents, as well as my father-in-law, which provide lots of quality grandparent time. Are we wrong in not being more accepting of Mom’s behavior? We’ve tried talking with her about it, but she’s never been wrong in her life. What do we do?

-- Daughter-in-Law in Wyoming Dear Wyoming: Since the ex is your stepson’s mother, it’s best if you can coexist. But if Mom chooses to invite the ex-daughter-in-law instead of her son and his family, that is her choice and she must deal with the consequences. If you want to have a closer relationship, invite her to your place.

Dear Annie: After almost three years with my beautician, I cannot get her to carry on a conversation. I like the beautician’s work, but the silence is getting to me. I’ve had three perms and a cut and set, and the rest of the time I take care of my own hair. What do you think is going on? -- The Silent Treatment Dear Silent: Your stylist may prefer concentrating on your hair rather than chatting, and many patrons would be grateful for the silence. Also, if you have been there only four times in three years, you haven’t formed much of a bond. If you are happy with the beautician’s work, we suggest you learn to relax and enjoy the pampering. If conversation is important to you, take the initiative and ask her a few questions that will show your interest.

Dear Annie: You have mentioned many times that adoptees should have their medical histories. We and others in this situation have been screaming from the rooftops on behalf of those who were adopted in Ohio during a blackout period starting in the early 1960s.

Our daughter has several medical issues that cannot be resolved without this important information. Why can’t we fix it? I’m now 83 years old and have been pounding away at this frustrating issue for 40 years. My daughter needs her medical history now more than ever. When will this nightmare end? Will you help to get this word out?

-- Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Dear Calif.: Ohio has an unusual setup, whereby those adoptees born between 1964 and 1996 do not have the same access to their records as those born before or after.

The Ohio Adoption Registry can help if your daughter’s biological family is searching for her. Otherwise, try Adoption Equity Ohio (adoptionequityohio.org), an advocacy group that you can also find on Facebook and Twitter.

Holderness firm helps disaster relief Adult ed courses can light up your life efforts by donation of NutraSoil HOLDERNESS — In response to the devastation left by Hurricane Irene, Resource Management, Inc. (RMI) will donate up to 10,000 cubic yards of erosion-resistant topsoil to the rebuilding efforts.

The topsoil, called NutraSoil, is highly erosion resistant and is ideal for slope stabilization and roadside construction, as well as gravel pit reclamation, agricultural field restoration and athletic field construction.

keeping with RMI’s tradition of community support; in 2008 we donated topsoil to help restore farm fields after the Alstead floods of 2006.”

Municipalities and businesses that wish to obtain NutraSoil topsoil must contact RMI in advance to arrange pickup. The topsoil will be available for pickup at RMI’s facility in New Hampton beginning Monday, September 12, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

RMI will donate up to 10,000 cubic yards of topsoil in total and donations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.

The company will assess a minimal loading fee of $2.50 per cubic yard.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

You may need to concede to succeed According to Dictionary.com: con•cede [kuhn-seed] verb, -ced•ed, -ced•ing. verb (used with object) 1. to acknowledge as true, just, or proper; admit: He finally conceded that she was right. 2. to acknowledge (an opponent’s victory, score, etc.) before it is officially established: to concede an election before all the votes are counted.

There are many times in life that you need to make compromises. You’ll find that you may have to give something to get something. You may have to concede something in order to succeed in something. It is no different in a real-estate transaction. Sometimes a home seller can lose sight of the fact that his goal is to actually sell his home. A seller may think he is losing and the buyer is winning if he makes concessions.

It is kind of ingrained in our psyche. I think it started in grade school on the ball field. No one ever likes to concede the game…

But in a business transaction, making concessions is part of the deal making process. And in reality, selling a home is just that; a business transaction. It is not about who is right or wrong or admitting defeat, it is about compromise, and the art of making a deal work. The most common “seller concession” is a contribution toward the buyer’s closing costs. This has been common practice for many years particularly for first time buyers who have good credit but not all of the cash necessary to purchase a home. In an FHA loan, for example, the buyer has to come up with at least a 3.5% down payment but is allowed to get a contribution from the seller of up to 6% of the purchase price to cover closing costs. These costs include items such as the title search, appraisal, tax stamps, etc.

A contribution toward the buyer’s closing costs obvi-

ously is really a reduction in what the seller will net on the sale, so it should be looked at with respect to the other terms of the offer. If the buyer has made a low ball offer then he’s not likely to get a concession for closing costs, too. The seller may also feel that he does not want to accept what would be essentially a 6-percent reduction in his asking price, especially if his home is really (and truly) priced correctly. These days, most sellers realize that they will have to give up something so no deal should be lost over a seller concession for closing costs. Buyers are too hard to come by! If the seller really doesn’t want to contribute all that is requested, he could counter to see if the buyer could come up with part of his closing costs. If the buyer truly needs a seller contribution, all or a portion of that amount can be added on top of the purchase price so that the seller nets an amount that is acceptable to him. The property, of course, will need to appraise at the slightly higher purchase price. The buyer also has to be approved for a loan for that slightly higher amount. This can be a win win for both parties.

After the initial deal is made, other concessions may be asked for to correct defects in the home found as a result of the home inspection process. Many times there are items that arise that the buyer would like to have fixed before the closing or have another seller concession so that he can fix them later. They may, or may not, be big issues to correct. Sometimes they get blown out of proportion by either the buyer or the seller. The buyer should be aware that he might not get all, or any, of the home inspection issues corrected if he has received a large seller concession up front to make the deal happen. The buyer

can also opt out of the deal and not purchase the home if the issues are too big to resolve. At that point the seller has another decision to make. He can concede something and succeed in selling his home to the buyer or put his home back on the market and hope to find another buyer.

He must remember though, all the defects found in the home inspection have to be disclosed to any future potential buyer. Sometimes making a few concessions can go a long way to getting you where you want to be…

There were 1,399 residential homes for sale in the towns in this Lakes Region report at the start of September, 2010. The average asking price was $521,155 and the median price was $269,000. The inventory level is up compared to last September when there were 1,318 homes on the market. The average price then was $553,314 and the median was $285,000. The current inventory level represents a 22 month supply of homes on the market, oil is about $90.00/barrel, and unemployment is at 9.1-percent. But, football season is starting. So you see, there are always some bright spots...

Northeast Mustang rally coming to Weirs Beach for big weekend LACONIA — The Northeast Mustang Rally, the first edition of what is hoped will become the Northeast’s version of Myrtle Beach’s Mustang week, will take place this weekend with hundreds of Mustangs from all over the Northeast and Canada coming to the Lakes Region.

SmokingStangs, a group of Mustang enthusiasts who are organizing the rally, has been working since earlier this year with the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce to promote the event, and the group’s website says that hundreds of Mustang owners from as far away as Nova Scotia, Delaware and Pennsylvania have already registered for the three-day event.

A full weekend of activities are planned for Mustang owners, who have turned out in force for nearly 20 years for the “Mustangs and More” event which was held at the Funspot Family Entertainment Center by the Mustang Owners of New Hampshire.

The expanded event will see the car show, which had been held on the second Sunday in September at Funspo,t move to a larger venue at the Weirs Beach Drive-In Theater, where it will now be known as the SmokingStangs Laconia Annual Car Show.

There will also be new attractions such as an autocross in a parking lot at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as well as an opportunity for taking track laps on the Speedway’s oval and road courses on Saturday.

New this year will be a Generations Cruise which start at Funspot on Sunday morning.

Action got underway Friday, September 10 with a Meet ‘n Greet Cruise-In at Endicott Rock at Weirs Beach from noon to 7 p.m., followed by a SmokinStangs beach party from 8 p.m. until midnight at the Naswa Resort.

Saturday’s autocross, hosted by the Sports Car Club of New Hampshire, will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Lot S1 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Drivers will be able to put their skills and car to the test, racing against the clock.

The SmokinStangs Laconia Live Concert and Shown-Shine will be held Saturday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the Weirs Beach Drive-In, featuring a live concert performance by the Big Bang Theory.

Bruins rookies report for chance to defend Cup

WILMINGTON, Mass. (AP) — A granite replica of the Stanley Cup weighing a reported 7,000 pounds greeted Boston Bruins prospects as they reported for rookie camp at the team’s practice arena.

That should be their first clue that making the team could be harder this year.

“I think everybody’s excited to come to camp, to start up this year,” assistant general manager Jim Benning said on Friday after the first skate of the team’s rookie camp.

The NHL champions will spend the weekend at their practice arena north of Boston, which was festooned with a new marker denoting the team’s path to its first Cup since 1972. Then they’ll head to New York for two exhibition games against the Islanders.

“It’s pretty special,” said Dougie Hamilton, a firstround draft pick. “You feel like asking them, ‘Let’s see your ring’ or ‘How was it winning the Cup?’ (But) they can be your teammates, so it’s kind of weird like that. It’s been special with this whole organization and what they’ve done.”

Among the players on the ice were Hamilton, a defenseman who was the No. 9 pick in this year’s draft, and last year’s second-round picks Ryan Spooner and Jared Knight. They’re hoping to impress the coaches and make the team, like rookies Tyler Seguin and Steve Kampfer did last year.

But it won’t be easier to crack a roster that returns most of a defending champion.

“I would tend to agree since the team won the Stanley Cup, but we don’t know for sure,” Benning said. “We’re just going to have to go through the process of this camp and then main camp. The one thing about Peter and Claude: if a player deserves to be on the team, then they find a way to get the player on the team.”

New Hampshire Motor Speedway will be held following the concert for anyone heading to the Speedway for a three-lap event, beginning at 6 p.m., which will see drivers able to take their cars out onto the Speedway’s oval and road race course tracks.

Sunday’s Generations Cruise will depart from Funspot from 9 to 11 a.m., with 2005-present starting out at 9 a.m., followed by 1994-2004 vehicles at 9:30 a.m., 197993 makes at 10 a.m. and 1965-78 vehicles at 10:30 a.m.

The cruises will end at the SmokinStangs Laconia First Annual Car Show at the Weirs Drive-In, which will be held until 4 p.m. Registrations will be taken until noon with awards presented starting at 3 p.m.
