GILFORD — The four remaining School Board members chose Karen Thurston to serve as the fifth member until next March’s elections. Thurston was one of four applicants who
applied for and were interviewed by the board at last night’s meeting. “We have four excellent candidates,” said Chair Kurt Webber, thanking Thurston as well as engineer Timothy Sullivan, retired Winnisquam Regional School District Business Administrator Allan Demko, and retired
teacher Ellen McClung. The four met publicly with the board in pursuit of the spot left vacant when former member Derek Tomlinson resigned earlier this summer. While all four brought different skill sets and experience to the equation, the board see GILFORD page 7

LACONIA - The director of the Belknap County Economic Development Corp. said yesterday that the outstanding unpaid balance of the loan made to the nowdefunct Lakes Region Pellets of Barnstead is $415,000. Carmen Lorentz said the agency lent $480,000 to the wood pellet processing company in the June of 2009 after the company was awarded a federal Community Development Block Grant applied for through the town of Barnstead. Lorentz issued the written statement Tuesday in response to an article that ran in last week’s Laconia Citizen after the BCEDC met last Friday morning. She said the BCEDC provided “bridge” or temporary financing until the plant could be up and running. When the jobs the pellet company was supposed to create never materialized one of the conditions for getting the money see BCEDC page 6
MEREDITH — “I like to make things work. When I see and old tractor, I want to try and make it run,’’ says Marshall Hubbard, a semiretired truck mechanic who owns a small fleet of vintage tractors which he has patiently restored. Hubbard, who grew up on a farm in Wiscasset, Maine, where he and his brother drove a Massey-Harris and Farmall 3 while baling hay, started his collection of farm tractors more than 20 years ago and has spent countless hours (and dollars) restoring them to mint operating condition. He currently has eight tractors at his home, six John Deeres, five of which are at least 60 years old, as well as a 50-year-old International 340 and a Ford 3000 that he bought from Belknap County and uses for snow removal. Hubbard, who came to the Lakes Region some 30 years ago to take care of a fleet of trucks for Jordan Meats in Marshall Hubbard of Meredith is working to restore a 1949 John Deere Model A farm tractor. He is a member of the Northeast Two Cyl- Laconia and later worked as inder Club which holds many events featuring vintage farm tractors. (Roger Amsden/ for The Laconia Daily Sun) see TRaCTORS page 9

REVERE, Mass. (AP) — State environmental officials are set to mark the start of the school year by celebrating the successful completion of a program that fitted more than 2,100 school buses with devices designed to cut air pollution from diesel engines. Buses serving at least 300,000 students in 300 communities benefited from the MassCleanDiesel School Bus Retrofit Program. The initiative seeks to reduce children’s exposure to diesel exhaust swirling inside the buses as they ride to and from school. Gov. Deval Patrick launched the initiative in 2008, with officials describing it as the nation’s first fully funded statewide program designed to reduce air pollution from school buses. The program upgraded school buses for free with funding from the state Department of Transportation and the federal government. It was offered to school systems and bus companies on a voluntary basis, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Edmund Coletta Jr. said. The program is responsible for reducing emissions of harmful air pollutants by more than 27 tons per year, the DEP says on its website. Breathing high concentrations of diesel emissions can cause minor ailments such as headaches, wheezing and dizziness. But studies also have found the contaminants can do more serious damage. Studies by the Environmental Protection Agency and other groups previously linked the emissions to asthma and lung cancer.

by angry residents of the city, including Gadhafi supporters, who fired in the air and sent them fleeing, mediators said. Many in Bani Walid remain deeply mistrustful of the forces that have seized power in Libya and are reluctant to accept their rule. Some former rebels depicted the flight to Niger as a major exodus of Gadhafi’s most hardcore backers. But confirmed information on the number and identity of those leaving was scarce as the convoy made its
way across the vast swath of desert — over 1,000 miles — between populated areas on the two sides of the border. Gadhafi himself is not in the convoys, the U.S. State Department said. As the first group of a dozen vehicles pulled into Niger’s capital, Niamey, a customs official said it included Mansour Dao, Gadhafi’s security chief and a key member of his inner circle, as well as around 12 other Gadhafi regime officials.
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A gunman wielding an AK-47 opened fire on a table of uniformed National Guard members at an IHOP restaurant on Tuesday in an outburst of violence that killed four people, wounded eight others and put Nevada’s capital city on high alert as the shooter unloaded his assault rifle in a bustling business district. The shooter’s motive was unclear, but family members said he had mental issues. He had never been in the military and had no known affiliation with anyone inside the restaurant. Five Nevada National Guard troops sitting together at the back of the restaurant were shot — two of them fatally. Another woman was also killed, and the gunman,
32-year-old Eduardo Sencion of Carson City, shot himself in the head and died at a hospital. Witnesses and authorities described a frantic scene, in which the shooter pulled into the large complex of retail stores and shops just before 9 a.m. in a blue minivan with a yellow “Support Our Troops” sticker on the back. He got out and immediately shot a woman by a motorcycle, a witness said. Ralph Swagler said he grabbed his own weapon, but said it was too late to stop the shooter, who charged into the IHOP through the front doors. “I wish I had shot at him when he was going in the IHOP,” said Swagler, who see NEVADA page 10
BASTROP, Texas (AP) — One of the most devastating wildfire outbreaks in Texas history left more than 1,000 homes in ruins Tuesday and stretched the state’s firefighting ranks to the limit, confronting Gov. Rick Perry with a major disaster at home just as the GOP presidential contest heats up. More than 180 fires have erupted in the past week across the rain-starved Lone Star State, and nearly 600 of the homes destroyed since then were lost in one catastrophic blaze in and around Bastrop, near Austin, that raged out of control Tuesday see FIRES page 11

TARHOUNA, Libya (AP) — Convoys of Moammar Gadhafi loyalists, including his security chief, fled across the Sahara into Niger on Tuesday in a move that Libya’s former rebels hoped could help lead to the surrender of his last strongholds. Still, efforts to negotiate the peaceful handover of one of the most crucial of those bastions, the city of Bani Walid, proved difficult.

Pat Buchanan
How capital crushed labor Once, it was a Labor Day tradition for Democrats to go to Cadillac Square in Detroit to launch their campaigns in that forge and furnace of American democracy, the greatest industrial center on earth. Democrats may still honor the tradition. But Detroit is not what she was, not remotely. And neither is America. Not so long ago, we made all the shoes and clothes we wore, the motorcycles and cars we drove, the radios we listened to, the TV sets we watched, the home and office calculators and computers we used. No more. Much of what we buy is no longer made by American workers, but by Japanese, Chinese, other Asians, Canadians and Europeans. “Why don’t we make things here anymore?” is the wail. Answer: We don’t make things here anymore because it is cheaper to make them abroad and ship them back. With an economy of $14-trillion, we may still be the best market in the world to sell into. But we are also among the most expensive markets in the world in which to produce. Why is that? Again, the answer is simple. U.S. wages are higher than they are almost anywhere else. Our health, safety and environmental laws are among the most stringent. Our affirmative action demands are the most exacting, except possibly for those of Malaysia and South Africa. Does the cost of production here in America alone explain the decline in manufacturing and stagnation of workers’ wages? No. For since the Revolution, America has had a standard of living that has been the envy of the world. From the Civil War through the 1920s, as we became the greatest manufacturing power the world had ever seen, our workers enjoyed pay and benefits that were unmatched anywhere. Yet our exports in those decades were double our imports, and our trade surpluses annually added 4-percent to the gross national product. How did we do it? We taxed the products of foreign factories and workers and used the revenue to finance the government. We imposed tariffs of up to 40-percent on foreign goods entering our market and used the tariff money to keep taxes low in the United States. We made foreigners pay a price to get their products into our market and made them pay to help finance our government. We put our own country and people first. For corporate America, especially industrial America, this was nirvana. They had exclusive free access to our market, and foreign rivals had to pay a stiff fee, a tariff, to get their products in and try to compete with U.S. products in the U.S. market. What happened to this idea that made America a self-sufficient repub-
lic, producing almost all it consumed, a nation that could stay out of the world wars as long as she wished and crush the greatest powers in Europe and Asia in less than four years after she went in? A new class came to power that looked on tariffs as xenophobic, on economic patriotism as atavistic and on national sovereignty as an antique idea in the new world order it envisioned. By 1976, editorial writers were talking about a new declaration of interdependence to replace Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, which was now outdated. The new idea was to replicate America on a global scale, to throw open the borders of all nations as the borders of the 50 states were open, to abolish all tariffs and trade barriers, and to welcome the free flow of goods and people across all frontiers, thereby creating the One World that statesmen such as Woodrow Wilson and Wendell Willkie had envisioned. By three decades ago, this globalist ideology had captured both national parties, a product of universities dominated by New Dealers. But why did corporate America, with its privileged access to the greatest market on earth, go along with sharing that market with its manufacturing rivals from all over the world? The answer lies in the trade-off corporate America got. Already established in the U.S. market, corporate America could risk sharing that market if, in return, it could shift its own production out of the United States to countries where the wages were low and regulations were light. Corporate America could there produce for a fraction of what it cost to produce here. Then these same corporations could ship their foreign-made products back to the USA and pocket the difference in the cost of production. Corporate stock prices would soar, as would corporate salaries — and dividends, to make shareholders happy and supportive of a corporate policy of moving out of the USA. Under globalization, America’s investor class could and did get rich by the abandonment of America’s working class. America is in a terminal industrial decline because the interests of corporate America now clash directly with the interests of working America — and, indeed, with the national interest of the United States. And both parties are either oblivious to or indifferent of what is happening to their country. (Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)
LETTERS Should our children follow the example set on these pages? To the editor, I love the Laconia area, it’s been my home for many years and I return every chance I get. However, it is really bothering me to see how many of you are resorting to almost childish behavior with your bullying of each other. Calling each other names if they don’t agree with whatever you are writing, be it political, educational or superficial is beyond acceptable. Someone is an idiot, a jerk, uneducated and the beat goes on. While everyone is more than entitled to their opinion, it doesn’t mean you are Entitled. Show some respect people, to each other and to yourselves. What you are showing everyone who reads your letters is how childish YOU are being. I think the one main thing that
made me write this letter, is now it is getting personal, and possibly quite harmful when Anna DeRose is being sent hate mail at home — for expressing her opinion, rationally, that is totally unacceptable. Our kids and your kids are reading the newspapers these days, be it in print or online, as I am doing, and when they see how juvenile you are acting with your name calling and bullying tactics, how do you expect them to behave? All they are doing is repeating what the see and read. Clean up your acts people, and return the letters column to interesting, pleasant and informative reading, not a platform for reducing people to your own lower levels. Judi Leavitt Bristol, Connecticut
Hurricane victims don’t deserve to be used as political footballs To the editor, Ever wonder what is wrong with some people? I heard some statements that prompted me to think back to Hurricane Katrina and I remembered that Richard Baker said “we finally cleaned up the public housing in New Orleans. We couldn’t do it but God did”. And also John Hagee saying “Katrina was sent by God because New Orleans is a wicked city.” Now, all these years later, we have people doing the same. Eric Cantor said we should do budget cuts first and then give the money to FEMA to cover costs. He seems to think money/budget cuts are more important then the lives of people. And to boot, he thinks people can wait one to perhaps six months (or more) for assistance. He also said we should go back to the days of old when neighbors helped neighbors and didn’t depend on government assistance. What does he think people were doing until first responders got to a scene. They were helping each other. Does he not realize that all the charity functions, like the concert, are being put on by people not employed by the government. Michele Bachman said “God sent the hurricane to let Washington know they were spending too much money.” Yeah! Right! When later questioned about the statement she said she was
using a metaphor. Someone explain how this is a metaphor? This led me to look up the meaning of compassion which I was already certain I knew. It became apparent to me at this point these people are not only uncompassionate but uncaring, and unsympathetic. How can you be compassionate if you have no feelings? Especially when statements are based on money not human life. People died! And when later questioned about the statements they claim they didn’t mean it the way it sounded. We live in a society where we use cell phones. They not only take pictures but record. So if you haven’t got anything nice to say it might be wiser not to say anything or at least think before you open your mouth. Right next door to us in Vermont we have people who have lost everything. We have had people stranded because roads and bridges washed out. What these people do not need to hear are unkind statements and someone telling them God did this to them. Nor do they need to be told they will have to wait for assistance. Now before you grab your pen to “jump” all over me let me make this absolutely clear. This letter has nothing to do with politics. It is about human decency. Give the Hurricane Irene victims a break. This is a time

LETTERS Obama should be called to account for his un-American actions To the editor, Mr. E. Scott Cracraft, I stand by what I said. Any President or member of Congress who allows our borders to be violated by illegals of any country, who allows the treasury to print money we don’t have in an attempt to devalue our currency, who continues to hold our country dependent on foreign oil, who turns his or her back on our longtime allies and apologies to our enemy’s for what our country has done to protect itself and others, in my opinion, are acts of treason. Barack Husain Obama has gone too far. He’s crossed the line, too many times and now is the time for our elected official in Congress to finally do their constitutional duty and hold Barack Husain Obama and his administration accountable. There are many more instances of his acts of treason. I suggest you do your homework and research for yourself and not let your leftist views get in your
way. It’s time you and the country wake up and smell the coffee. Look up the definition of treason in the dictionary, when you do I think you will see Mr. Obama’s picture next to it? If RFK Jr. and former Vice President Al Gore can call anyone who does not believe in global warming guilty of treason how much more serious is it for our president and his administration to do all they can to sell out America, can you justify that Mr. E? Mr. Obama is not above the law and it is time he is called accountable for his un-American actions. I can only hope our elected officials have the intestinal fortitude to do what has to be done. This will be my last response to you on this matter, I am much too busy doing the people of Laconia’s business to be giving you history lessons… I rest my case. Rep. Harry Accornero Laconia
Doggie biscuit sales at Thursday market will go to K-9 program To the editor, We read with interest the article regarding the fundraising needed for a new K-9 officer for the Laconia PD. In the spirit of supporting our community plus remembering the K9 contributions on 9/11/01, we have decided to donate ALL proceeds from our biscuit
sales at the Laconia Open Market on Thursday, Sept. 8th from 3-7 p.m. We will even have some special flavors and shapes in honor of our canine law enforcement friends! Henry and June Henry’s Pawprints and Doggie Delicacies

Greens, Sawyer’s Dairy Bar, Kitchen Cravings, Gator Signs, Shaw Supermarket, Hannaford Supermarket, Jason Wernig of North Country Deli and Tilton Nursery. A special thanks to the Gilford Library and the Laconia Library for their help in selling our tickets. Also, we want to thank our “men’s auxiliary”, Steve Gove, Jerry Murphy, Merrill Green and Rich Robertson, for all their help. We thank the members of the Artist Loft who were sketching the lovely gardens, and we all enjoyed the lovely music provided by Jane Ellis during our luncheon. Our special guest was advanced master gardener Greg Moonie, who was available to answer questions at the Schmidt’s garden during the tour. How fortunate that Mother Nature bestowed such a lovely day for our Annual Garden Tour. Proceeds raised from this annual event are redistributed back to the Lakes Region via scholarships, grant awards and projects of benefit to our communities. Save the date for our upcoming Homes for the Holidays House Tour on December 3 and 4, 2011. Carmel Lancia, President Opechee Garden Club, Inc.

Movement breaks helping Laconia elementary students stay focused By RogeR Amsden
LACONIA — “Sitting still and being quiet is not a normal thing” Tammy Levesque of Project HEAL (Healthy Eating Active Living) told members of the Laconia School Board last night shortly before leading them on a movement break in which they walked around the room pretending to drive a fast car, then tried gently to knock each other off balance with high fives and even tried to tag each other’s knees. The break appeared to energize the board members and Levesque said it does the same for school students as attested by improved behavior and better academic achievement in a pilot program utilizing movement breaks that took place during the last school year in Laconia elementary schools. She said that movement breaks provide a one or two minute opportunity for physical activity in the classroom as part of the daily schedule and help create a better climate for student learning. As part of the activity a walking track is established around the room and students walk the track with different physical activities at a
number of stations along the way. Katie Shumway-Pitt, who taught fifth graders at the Woodland Heights Elementary School last year as part of the pilot program, said that incorporating movement breaks into the classroom was a definite plus. “The kids get excited and reinvest themselves in what they’re doing. Before we did this they were becoming inattentive and falling asleep on us. Now they’re on task,” said Shumway-Pitt. She cited the example of one student, a girl who was a high level reader, but couldn’t seem to sit still and read a book in the classroom. “We had her read a book as she was on the walking track and by the end of the year she had finished all of the Harry Potter books.’’ Levesque said that the movement breaks, as many as five per day, also help schools deal with another issue, student obesity, noting that over 40 percent of third graders in Belknap and Merrimack counties are overweight or obese, the highest rate in the state. She said that other schools in the state are looking at the pilot program in Laconia and may follow suit with see next page
BCEDC from page one from the grant - she said the town was not awarded the grant that would have been paid back to the BCEDC revolving funds. The loan in default, the BCEDC filed suit in Belknap County Superior Court to recover the principal and its legal fees and interest. Presiding Justice James O’Neill III ordered an attachment for $650,000 on the 129 Depot St. property and equipment as well as two of its principals, Gregory True of Alton and Mark C. Smith of Madbury. True’s response to the lawsuit said that he sold his interest on Jan. 8, 2010 to Mark C. Smith and he no longer has any interest in the company. Because Mark C. Smith never responded to the BCEDC suit in Belknap County, he is considered in default. Neither he nor Harold E. Smith III could be reached for comment. O’Neill sent to case into mediation but it is scheduled for trial in March of 2012 should there be no resolution. In a related suit filed in Plymouth County Superior Court in Massachusetts, a clerk said the BCEDC won a default judgement against the owner of the property, Harold “Hal” E. Smith III, no apparent relation to Mark C. Smith, who is listed on the N.H. Secretary of State’s Website as the property owner for Suncook River Realty Trust, LLC. and the manager for Lakes Region Pellets, Inc. According to the N.H. Secretary of State’s Website, Lakes Region Pellets was administratively dissolved on Sept. 1 after not reporting to them for a year. A clerk in Plymouth County Superior Court in Massachusetts said yesterday that the BCEDC won a default judgement for $430,668 plus interest and expenses in October of 2010 against Harold E. Smith III. The clerk said no lawyer ever filed an appearance on behalf of Harold E. Smith III
and he never showed up in court. She said Harold Smith III was listed as a Pocasset, Mass. resident. Barnstead assessing clerk said the property is assessed for $1,786,600 and belongs to the Suncook River Realty Trust, LLC. The Barnstead Town Clerk Cynthia Treadwell said there are tax liens, filed in the Belknap County Registry of Deeds for 2010 in the amount of $45,423. She said the 2011 first tax billing for $19,974 is, so far, unpaid. Treadwell said her records show the former lumber company, Timco, sold the property (which is actually three parcels) in 2003 to Bestway Real Estate LLC for $121,000. She said Bestway sold the land and buildings in 2004 for $750,000 to Suncook River. Records show interest in Lakes Region Pellets, LLC was transferred to Mark C. Smith who in August of 2010 registered the company with the N.H. Secretary of State as Great Northern Pellets, LLC and listed himself as owner and manager. There is no record of the property being sold. In late 2010, the Laconia Daily Sun reported on a fire that broke out in one of the silos that Barnstead Fire Chief Mark Tetrault said was likely started by a spark from processing. The plant was operating at the time. As for Lorentz and the BCEDC, she said the loan money came from three of four revolving loan funds built up over the years. She said, to date, the BCEDC has loaned over $8 million to local businesses, of which $61,000 has been written off as bad debt. She said many of the successful projects, including J. Jill in Tilton and Church Landing in Meredith, would not have happened without the BCEDC. Edward Engler, the publisher and editor of the Laconia Daily Sun, sits on the Board of Directors for the BCEDC.

Board Chairman Bob Dassatti asked if the program could be expanded to the high school, noting that it seemed to be a good way to break up the block schedule routine with an activity which would energize students. The board also heard a report about the Ready! for Kindergarten program from Shannon Robinson-Beland of the Lakes Region Community Services Family Resource Center, which is partnering with the school district and the Lakes Region United Way to bring the program to Laconia. She said that the program helps prepare Chris Guilmett of the Laconia School Board and Tammy Levesque parents to help their of Healthy Eating Active Living high five each other in a demonchildren learn and stration of a balancing exercise which is part of a movement break focuses on the idea of pilot program in Laconia schools.

GILFORD from page one was initially split two-to-two between Thurston and Demko. Rae Mellow-Andrews spoke first and said Demko was her preferred choice because, while all were excellent, he said serving on the board was “about the students” and she was most impressed by that statement. Webber agreed, adding that Demko’s experience serving on the St. Johnsbury, Vt. School Board and his professional expertise as a business administrator, made him the candidate he would support most. Sue Allen supported Thurston. She said Thurston was known to be involved in a number of community activities and had attended a number of the Gilford budget committee meetings so was well versed in school budget discussions. Paul Blandford supported her choice and made a motion to appoint Thurston and Allen seconded the motion. Mellows-Andrews moved and Webber seconded Demko, but Superintendent Kent Hemingway explained that only one motion at a time could be on the table and the first motion required a vote on Thurston. The first vote was two for ( Blandford and Allen) and two against (Webber and Mello-Andrews) and failed.
Demko was the subject of the second vote and it also failed to pass with Mello-Andrews and Webber voting “yes” and Allen and Blandford voting “no.” Webber said the decision had to made last night because with budget preparation imminent and the school year underway, it was not a decision that could be delayed. After about five minutes of further discussion, Allen said again that both were extremely qualified and that she would move again to nominate Thurston because her experience with the Gilford School District was at all levels while Demko’s was largely at the high school. Webber said was “prepared to break the deadlock” and joined Blandford and Allen in voting for Thurston. Thurston will join the board at its next meeting. She has three sons who progressed through the Gilford School system and also is on the Gilford Old Home Day Committee. Thurston is the president and founder of the Lakes Region chapter of the Blue Star Mothers representing people who have joined together to support mothers and families with children either on active military duty or who have been honorably discharged.

Guinta pursues change, counsels patience BY MICHAEL KITCH MEREDITH — A determination to restore fiscal discipline to the federal government was the dominant theme when First District Congressman Frank Guinta met with a score of residents in an informal setting at the Community Center yesterday afternoon. Shucking his suit coat, Guinta, appearing relaxed and affable, forsook the podium for a chair, placing himself on the same level as his constituents. Briefly he expressed the hope that Congress would adopt a responsible budget then set a firm course to revive the flagging economy. “We tend to be reactionary,” he remarked, stressing that the government must address issues of excessive spending, burdensome taxes and cumbersome regulation before they stifle economic recovery. When Marshall Armstrong opened the questioning by asking why foreign aid was seldom included among budget cuts, Guinta, who sits on the House Budget Committee, took the opportu-
nity to explain that even if all discretionary expenditures were eliminated, the deficit would persist. He said that some discretionary spending must be reduced and “waste, fraud and abuse” must be eliminated, but stressed “that doesn’t solve the $1.5-trillion problem,” which requires tackling entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Above all, Guinta faulted Congress for repeatedly adopting continuing budget resolutions, which perpetuated expenditures from the prior fiscal year, instead of preparing annual budgets. “We do have to make tough choices,” he said, adding that with continuing resolutions “there is a lack of accountability.” Bob Greemore, a Republican state representative from Meredith, asked about the prospects of the balanced budget amendment. Guinta reminded him that during the struggle over raising the debt ceiling, he was full square in support of “cut, cap and balance,” the formula that carried the House only to die a quick death in the Senate. Reaffirming his support for a constisee next page
TRACTORS from page one fleet manager for the local Coca-Cola distributorship, says he’s always been fascinated by farm tractors. “I guess you can take the boy off the farm buy you can’t take the farmer out of the grown up boy,’’ says Hubbard, who keeps in touch with other farm tractor enthusiasts through the Northeast Two-Cylinder Club, a 150-member organization devoted to keeping the John Deere farm tractor legacy alive. His current project is a 1949 John Deere Model A, a 30-horsepower tractor which he bought partially disassembled and has been rebuilding for the last year. “That’s the last one I’ll buy that isn’t all together. It’s too hard to find the missing parts,’’ says Hubbard, who says that the wheel flanges were so badly bound up by rust that it took him two and a half days on each side to work them loose. He’s also rebuilt the motor and the rear end and is now on the downhill side of the restoration project. His most recently-completed restoration was a 1943 Model B which is unique in that it is started by hand by spinning a flywheel rather than having either a crank or battery start. “The guy I bought it from in Mont Vernon said that it wouldn’t start. I got it running at his place but it was rapping so I shut it down. The wrist pin that connects to the piston was bent and I had to replace that,” he says. Hubbard also pulled the rear end apart because the axle seals were leaking and put in many hours of work before completing the restoration. One of his longest projects was the complete rebuilding of a powerful John Deere Model R, a 1950 tractor which has about 50 horsepower and was the first diesel powered tractor produced by Deere. He took the badly-rusted 7,500 pound tractor completely apart and rebuilt the engine as well as the pony motor, which is gas-powered and is used to start the diesel engine, which has a large fly wheel weighing close to 200 pounds.
“It’s a real powerful tractor. It’s hard to believe that a two-cylinder engine can produce that much power,’’ says Hubbard, who spent four years restoring the tractor to the point where it now looks as if it had come right off the production line. Hubbard also has a 1947 John Deere Model M, a 15 horsepower model which had one of the first vertically mounted engines, giving it a slim, tapered look from the driver’s seat, as well as 1946 Model A John Deere, a 30 horsepower workhorse which takes to events all over the Northeast. He said that he tried for 11 years to convince a farmer in Stueben, Maine, to sell him the Model A and that it took five years after he bought it to completely restore it. “Every summer I’d stop by and ask him if he wanted to sell it. He kept telling me he was going to fix it up. Finally, after 11 years, he said he wasn’t going to fix it up and he finally sold it to me. I guess it pays to be patient,’’ says Hubbard. And patience is what sees Hubbard through the restoration process, from start to finish of the multi-year projects. Take the truck that he has used for years to haul his tractors to different events. It’s a 1973 Custom 20 Chevrolet, one that took 600 hours to restore to mint condition. He still uses it for the smaller tractors, but not for the R, which requires a larger truck with more pulling power. Hubbard’s first John Deere restoration, a 23 horsepower Model B, is now used by his daughter and son-in-law, who have a large maple syrup operation on the southwestern part of the state. He says that the Northeast TwoCylinder Club takes part each year in a Plow Day at Picnic Rock Farm (formerly known as Longridge Farm), on Rte. 3 in Meredith as well as one in Haverhill and holds a Mowing Day in Sunapee in August. In August of 2012 the club will host an Expo in New Boston which is expected to attract as many as 150 vintage tractors and feature such machines as the Waterloo Boy, a huge 1922 tractor.

debate they are apt to sling barbs and slurs. However, Guinta drew a peel of laughter when he revealed “I’ve become friends with Barney Frank. The one thing we have in common, “ he hastened to add, “is New England,” explaining that the two have worked together to safeguard the livelihood of independent fishermen. He said that representatives and senators from New England, regardless of their partisan allegiance, must work together to counter the power wielded by the larger delegations from more populous states. Likewise, he said , the New Hampshire delegation — Congressman Charlie Bass and Senators Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen, the lone Democrat — meet regularly and their staffs collaborate on many projects. “We have a good working relationship,” he said. Without tempering his zeal to change Washington and shrink government that made him a favorite of the Tea Party, Guinta, after eight months on the job, allowed “I do think we’re going to have to be patient.”

from preceding page tutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, he said it was an essential first step to returning to fiscal discipline and would send a “strong message to job creators.” Guinta said that a vote on a balanced budget amendment was assured by the bargain struck on the debt ceiling, but shrank from predicting it would succeed. However, he said that for the first time since 1995, when a similar amendment carried the House but failed by a single vote in the Senate, the issue is on the agenda. “We still have a long way to go,” Guinta said. Brendan Laffey turned the discussion to taxes. In the near term, Guinta expected steps would be taken to close tax loopholes in pursuit of a “progrowth agenda” featuring lower taxes and less regulation. In the long run, he said, “you’ve got to make the tax code fairer.” When someone suggested a flat tax, Guinta replied “I think its the direction we need to go in.” He said that more and more of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle were eying a flat tax as a means of making the tax code more straightforward and equitable, but doubted such a major reform was in the offing. “Not in this Congress,” he said. While defending the performance of the House, Guinta conceded that “Congress is not functioning as it should. I share the frustration with how Congress is operating,” he said. He acknowledged the dissension that has soured relations between the parties, remarking that although members call for greater civility and camaraderie, in the heat of

Ortiz, Scutaro each have 4 hits, Red Sox rout Jays 14-0 TORONTO (AP) — Jon Lester struck out 11 in seven innings to win his fourth straight decision, Marco Scutaro and David Ortiz each matched a career-high with four hits and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 14-0 Tuesday night. Lester (15-6) allowed just three hits, all singles, and walked one to improve to 4-0 with a 1.16 ERA in five starts since losing at Minnesota on Aug. 10. He
also matched a season high for strikeouts and is 4-0 in his last six starts against Toronto. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Josh Reddick homered as the Red Sox matched a season-high with 20 hits and scored at least two runs in each of the first five innings. Luis Perez (3-3) allowed a career-high eight runs and 10 hits in 2 2-3 innings.
NEVADA from page 2 owns Locals BBQ & Grill. “But when he came at me, when somebody is pointing an automatic weapon at you — you can’t believe the firepower, the kind of rounds coming out of that weapon.” The gunman went all the way to the back of the restaurant to the back area and opened fire, Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said. When he left the restaurant, he stood in the parking lot and shot into the nearby businesses, shattering the windows of a barbecue restaurant and an H&R Block and a casino across the street. Officers arrived minutes later and found the suspect and the person who was by the motorcycle wounded and lying in the parking lot. The names of the victims, including two male Guard members who were killed, were not immediately released. Sencion left two more guns in the van — a rifle and a pistol, authorities said. As the attack unfolded, Nevada officials worried about the violence being more widespread. They locked down the state Capitol and Supreme Court buildings for about 40 minutes, and put extra security in place at state and military buildings in northern Nevada. “There were concerns at the onset, so we took certain steps to ensure we had the capability to embrace an even larger circumstance,” Furlong said. “At this point in time it appears to be isolated to this
parking lot.” Reno-based FBI special agent Michael West said there was no indication of any terrorist plot. As police interviewed dozens of witnesses after the shooting and kept the gathering crowd of media at bay, a body lay on the ground, covered with a white sheet except for the feet, clad in tan boots. Sencion was born in Mexico and had a valid U.S. passport. In interviews with investigators after the shooting, his family raised concerns about his mental health, Furlong said. Sencion worked at his family’s business in South Lake Tahoe and had no criminal history. The minivan he drove to the shooting was registered to his brother. The shooting shocked some who knew him, including Joe Laub, his lawyer in a bankruptcy filing in January 2009, who called it an “aberration of his character.” “He’s a gentle, kind man who was very helpful to friends and family,” Laub told The Associated Press. “I couldn’t venture to guess what would cause him to do something as horrible as this.” In the bankruptcy filing, Sencion listed more than $42,000 in outstanding debts for a car, several credit cards and some medical expenses. At the time, Sencion reported having $200 spread over three bank accounts and $923 in disability income, mostly from Social Security.
ASSAULT from page one “choking,” asking to be left alone. Officer Peter Horan met with Martello and his girlfriend, who he asked to come to the police station where she spoke with Callanan and Sergeant Michael Finogle. Callanan found the woman visibly distraught and both officers suspected she had been crying and observed red marks on her neck. Explaining that Martello was her boyfriend and the two were on vacation, she told the officers that what began as an argument escalated into a physical confrontation. The woman said that Martello spit in her face, pushed her on to the bed several times until it broke and pressed her against the wall of the room. She claimed that he got on top of her, twice forcing his forearm into her throat so she could barely speak and clasping his hand over her mouth so she could not scream. She said that Martello took away her
cell phone and tore the telephone from the wall to stop her calling 911. The woman told police that Martello warned her that if she “sent” him to prison, he would slit her throat and burn down her house, adding that she was very frightened he would carry out his threat to fire her home. While the woman was speaking with police she took several phone calls and text messages from Martello, one saying “call me so I know if I have to bounce outta here so I don’t go to prison.” She said Martello was carrying a lot of cash and was likely to flee to Massachusetts. Martello is serving probation for two prior felony drug convictions and has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, four counts of domestic violence and two counts of malicious destruction of property in Massachusetts. He scheduled to appear for a probable cause hearing in Laconia District Court on September 14 at 1 p.m.

Willis sentenced to 15-30 years for rape conviction CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The 15-year-old New Hampshire girl was pregnant, scared and humiliated when she was made to stand before her Baptist church congregation 14 years ago and apologize for her immorality. Tuesday, it was a former church member’s turn to apologize before he was sentenced to 15-30 years in prison for forcible rape. Ernest Willis, 52, of Gilford said he was “sorry and ashamed for this thoughtless act of sexual misconduct.” But in his lengthy statement he did not admit he forcibly raped the girl. Listening telephone from Arizona, victim Tina Anderson said she was “thrilled” with the sentence. “It’s a huge amount of vindication for me,” Anderson, now 29, told The Associated Press. “I was never really believed, no matter how many times I said it was not consensual. Now it’s been proven in a court of law that he’s guilty and he’s been given a significant sentence.” The AP typically does not identify victims of sexual assault, but Anderson asked that her name be used and has given numerous media interviews. Willis, wearing bright orange prison garb and shackled at the ankles, also apologized to his ex-wife and their children for the embarrassment and financial ruin they’ve suffered and to Concord’s Trinity Baptist Church for the ridicule his case has wrought. The case remained unsolved for years because Concord police could not locate the teen. Unbeknownst to them, the pastor of Trinity Baptist Church helped ship the girl to Colorado, with her mother’s consent, to live with a Baptist couple she did not know and put her infant daughter up for adoption. Police located Anderson last year after a former church member posted to a blog decrying the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist movement. The post described Anderson’s church discipline session at Trinity Baptist. Willis was arrested in May 2010. Anderson said Tuesday she would have loved to see others involved in her case held accountable, but is satisfied with Willis’s punishment. In imposing the sentence, Merrimack Superior Court Judge Larry Smukler said Willis betrayed the trust the girl placed in him and robbed her of her childhood. Willis faced up to 54 years in prison on convictions for statutory rape and aggravated felonious sex assault.
A jury in May convicted Willis of raping the girl twice in 1997 — once while he was giving her driving lessons and weeks later at her Concord home. His lawyers say he will appeal those convictions. The teen babysat Willis’s children and, a prosecutor said Tuesday, considered him a father figure. “Her trust and admiration were repaid with violence and rape,” prosecutor Wayne Coull told the judge. Coull said the most aggravating factor of all was Willis’s reaction upon learning the teen was pregnant. “He offered to punch her in the stomach so hard as to cause a miscarriage,” Coull said. “For the defendant to be so cruel and selfish as to recommend such actions upon a child is just outrageous.” Before his trial in May, Willis pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape. He maintained they had consensual sex on one occasion only, but acknowledged the girl was under the legal age of consent. Willis remained stoic as the judge sent him to prison for a minimum of 15 years. “This particular day is a day for justice for the victim,” Smukler told him, saying Willis betrayed the trust of a defenseless teenager. The judge stressed to Willis that he was not sentencing him for the actions of Trinity Baptist Church and then pastor Chuck Phelps. Anderson told the AP she can never purge from her mind the horror and humiliation of being made to apologize to the congregation. “It will never go away,” Anderson said. “And that’s not necessarily a bad thing because it helps me to be more compassionate to others. I would love to be able to use my trauma, my pain, to help others.” Anderson listened to the sentencing from the home of a victim advocate in Arizona. She did not address the court. But in a statement she delivered after Willis was convicted she said he “destroyed the person I was ... and filled me with shame and guilt.” She said it was heartbreaking to put her daughter up for adoption and that she misses her every day. “When he decided that his sexual gratification was the most important thing in his life, he shattered mine,” she said. Willis, a divorced father of four, remained free on bail until his May 27 conviction. Tuesday he was taken to the state prison in Concord to begin serving his sentence.
FIRES from page 2 for a third day. Whipped into an inferno by Tropical Storm Lee’s winds over the weekend, the blaze burned more than 45 square miles, forced the evacuation of thousands and killed at least two people, bringing the overall death toll from the outbreak to at least four. “We lost everything,” said Willie Clements, whose two-story colonial home in a housing development
near Bastrop was reduced to a heap of metal roofing and ash. A picket fence was melted. Some goats and turkeys survived, but about 20 chickens and ducks were burned to death in a coop that went up in flames. On Tuesday, Clements and his family took a picture of themselves in front of a windmill adorned with a charred red, white and blue sign that proclaimed, “United We Stand.”

League Bowling returns to Funspot’s re-surfaced lanes LACONIA _ League bowling will return to the Funspot Family Entertainment Center this month, where the ten pin lanes will be resurfaced starting the day after Labor Day in preparation for the start of league play on September 11. That work is part of the certification process of the United States Bowling Congress to be an officially sanctioned league bowling facility, a designation the Funspot lanes held for many years while hosting bowling leagues. “We’ve hired Mike Liappes, who has worked here part-time for many years, to coordinate the league play and maintain the bowling lanes. He’s now a fulltime employee and is already working to see that league bowlers get to enjoy the same kind of quality experience we’ve always offered our patrons,’’ says Bob Lawton, Funspot owner and general manager. He said that League bowling at Funspot began in 1996, when the Lakes Region Bowling Center in Gilford closed and Funspot was approached by bowlers who wanted to see league play continue in the Lakes Region. “We stepped into the breach and made major financial commitments, including the upgrading of the bowling lanes and hiring a bowling professional, (the late Ron Gilkey) to help organize league play. And we remodeled an area of Funspot so that we could open the D.A. Long Tavern and provide the At left: Mike Liappes has been maintaining the bowling machinery at Funspot since 2002. (Courtesy photo)

food and beverage service that the bowlers had been accustomed to in Gilford,’’ said Lawton. Over the next eight years more than 300 bowlers a season took part in league play at the Funspot Bowling Center, helping produce many positive changes, including the introduction of electronic scoring in 2002. Lawton said that Liappes, who is a certified bowling coach, has been with Funspot since 2002, and his work has earned praise from Funspot bowlers, who say that the lanes are always in excellent shape and provide a consistent playing surface. “Mike has a great bowling background. He’s knowledgeable about every aspect of the game and is a real asset to Funspot,’’ says Lawton. Liappes, who recently installed new foul lights at the lanes, will also provide bowling ball maintenance at the Pro Shop. Resurfacing work will be done by Gold Crown Service Corporation out of Massachusetts, which will also install synthetic pin decks and flat gutters. They have already done preliminary work in the candlepin lanes, which are slated to be resurfaced next year. Liappes encourages anyone interested in league bowling at Funspot to call him at 366-4377 or stop by Sunday through Thursday to talk with him. The Funspot Family Entertainment Center is the world’s largest arcade and is located on Rte. 3 in Weirs Beach. Visit www.funspotnh.com to learn more.

Wisdom will be released as you drag your pen across the paper. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your self-image is changing, and your style reflects this. You may be inspired to take charge of your wardrobe. You want to wear your clothes instead of letting your clothes wear you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Political moves will affect you, particularly on the job. Your work situation may seem, in some regard, glaringly unfair. Then again, if you don’t look for reasons to be disgruntled, you won’t find them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not trying to win an award or anything. But still, you’ll appreciate the accolades coming your way before the month is over. You’ll see the first signs of success today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Publicity is a necessity in most lines of business. Unless you are a spy, don’t try to go under the radar now. Dare to dramatize your work. You could use the attention, and eventually that attention will translate into money. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 7).

Therefore, you will be better suited to a certain task today. People will depend on you, and you will come through brilliantly. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have many ideas and not enough time to act on all of them. However, the ones you do act on will make quite an impression. Tonight you’ll get a message from someone surprising. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You invite your favorite people to events you think will be fun, but you should also invite them to events you think will be laborious, tedious or boring. Because when you are in good company, the time zips by. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll feel comfortable enough to relax and be you. You’ll accept that your feelings are neither wrong nor right -- they just are. When you’re no longer worried about making an impression, that’s when you make the best one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be moved to turn up the volume in the ways you express yourself. It feels good to be effusive, showing your love with great enthusiasm. Others see you as courageous in this regard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be very tempting to diversify your interests, hedge your bets or investigate new options.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Sept. 7, the 250th day of 2011. There are 115 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 7, 1964, the controversial “Daisy” commercial, an ad for President Lyndon B. Johnson’s election campaign, aired on NBC-TV. (In the spot, footage of a little girl in a meadow plucking the petals of a flower is overtaken by a countdown leading to a nuclear explosion.) On this date: In 1533, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was born in Greenwich. In 1892, James J. Corbett knocked out John L. Sullivan to win the world heavyweight crown in New Orleans in a fight conducted under the Marquess of Queensberry rules. In 1907, the British liner RMS Lusitania set out from Liverpool, England, on its maiden voyage, arriving six days later in New York. In 1936, rock legend Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas. In 1940, Nazi Germany began its eightmonth blitz of Britain during World War II with the first air attack on London. In 1977, the Panama Canal treaties, calling for the U.S. to eventually turn over control of the waterway to Panama, were signed in Washington by President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos (tohREE’-hohs). In 1986, Desmond Tutu was installed as the first black to lead the Anglican Church in southern Africa. In 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur was shot and mortally wounded on the Las Vegas Strip; he died six days later. One year ago: A Chinese fishing trawler and two Japanese patrol boats collided near disputed islands in the East China Sea, further straining relations between Beijing and Tokyo. Lucius Walker, 80, who’d led an annual pilgrimage of aid volunteers to Cuba in defiance of the nearly half century U.S. trade embargo, died in New York. Today’s Birthdays: Sen. Daniel Inouye (in-OH’-way), D-Hawaii, is 87. Jazz musician Sonny Rollins is 81. Actor Bruce Gray is 75. Singer Alfa Anderson (Chic) is 65. Actress Susan Blakely is 63. Singer Gloria Gaynor is 62. Rock singer Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) is 60. Actress Julie Kavner is 60. Rock musician Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) is 58. Actor Corbin Bernsen is 57. Actor Michael Emerson (TV: “Lost”) is 57. Pianist Michael Feinstein is 55. Singer Margot Chapman is 54. Actor W. Earl Brown is 48. Actor Toby Jones is 45. Model-actress Angie Everhart is 42. Actress Diane Farr is 42. Actress Monique Gabriela Curnen is 41. Actor Tom Everett Scott is 41. Rock musician Chad Sexton (311) is 41. Actress Shannon Elizabeth is 38. Actor Oliver Hudson is 35.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have been married for 19 years, and my husband is a flirt. Early on, he would openly say teasing things to other women. After complaining repeatedly that he was being disrespectful to me, he stopped. Now I find him staring at other women until they pay attention. It’s almost as if he is trying to make a connection. He’s an attractive man, and when he acts like that, some women believe he is interested in them, and they behave seductively toward him. I find this humiliating. I have tried to talk to him about it. At first, he told me I was jealous and insecure. Now he simply denies that he does it. I get the noticing part, because I notice attractive men, but I don’t flirt or try to make a connection with them. I am beginning to resent my husband. When other men make eyes at me, I do not encourage them. Now I am reconsidering. My husband will not go to counseling. Is this really normal male behavior? -- Second Best Dear Second: It is normal to look. It is not normal to respond in so exaggerated a manner that your spouse feels humiliated. More importantly, when you ask him to stop, he should make every effort to do so. Otherwise, he is being inconsiderate and disrespectful. Tell your husband you are going to see a counselor on your own so you can best determine how to deal with his behavior because it is seriously damaging your marriage. We hope that gets his attention. Dear Annie: In a few months, I will be having a milestone birthday. I’d like to ignore it, but my friends keep talking about what we should do to celebrate. I sincerely do not want to do anything at all. My friends think they are pleasing me, but they are making me miserable. The last time they did this, I went along with it, but I was quite resentful that they didn’t take me at my word. How can I politely convince them to not do anything? -- No
Celebrations Dear No Celebrations: Not everyone enjoys birthday celebrations. Tell your friends that the best gift they could give you is to make a donation in your name to your favorite charity. Unfortunately, that doesn’t guarantee they won’t try to surprise you anyway, so we suggest you make other plans on that day and be unavailable. Dear Annie: This is the other side of “Numb in Nevada,” whose daughter-in-law cut them off from seeing the grandchild. My husband and his mother were very close. To honor that bond, I allowed her into the delivery room for the birth of our son. She repaid me for that kindness by taking photos without permission, and now there are digital pictures of me in labor floating around the Internet. When I came home from the hospital, she proceeded to criticize my housekeeping, insisted that my older children stay with a relative for another week and, despite the fact that I was breastfeeding, repeatedly tried to bottle feed the baby. I agreed to a baptism to make her happy, and she got into a fight with my mother and told her to leave. Since she lived six hours away, we allowed my motherin-law to stay with us frequently. I ignored her criticisms of my appearance, my children’s clothes, their behavior and my views on childrearing. I continued to be polite and respectful. I had to take antianxiety medication to make it through those weekends. Now, I’m divorced, and the most enduring benefit is that I never, ever have to deal with her again. -- It’s Not Always the Daughter-in-Law’s Fault Dear Not Always: You sound like you made every effort to be kind and respectful toward a real barracuda. We salute you.

1986 time capsule will be opened Saturday at Center Harbor library
CENTER HARBOR — On Saturday, September 10 at 11 a.m. a time capsule will be exhumed, opened and the contents examined at the Center Harbor town library. In 1986 the Center Harbor Parks and Recreation Department closed out its Summer activities program by inviting the children to bring a special item to be placed in the container and preserved for the future. These children, now adults, might be interested to view the contents and perhaps jog their memories back to the happy times of their youth.
The location of the time capsule is on the boundary of the Nichols Memorial Library lawn and is identified by a granite marker. The public is invited to come and watch the time capsule being unearthed by the Center Harbor Park Committee. Later, the contents will be on display in the Cary Mead Room of the town hall. More information may be obtained by calling committee member Duke Kline at 253-7633. A rain date for this event is set for the next day, Sunday, Sept. 11 at 11 a.m.
