‘No place that I’d rather be’

LACONIA — A Belknap County judge ruled yesterday the town can hold an emergency town meeting to ask voters to approve the lease/purchase of a $441,810 fi re truck.

Judge Kenneth McHugh, who heard tes-

Judge agrees Gilford has an emergency on its handsSpecial vote on lease/purchase of new fire truck will be Sept. 11

timony from both sides Friday afternoon, said in his four page opinion that since it could take as much as one year from when the fi re truck is ordered to get it into ser-vice that “time is of the essence.”

“It is unreasonable and unfair to depend on neighboring fi re departments to shoul-der the burden through the use of their

vehicles for what is and should be the responsibility of the town of Gilford,” McHugh wrote.

McHugh found that the logic behind Budget Committee member Kevin Lean-dro’s argument that that a new fi re engine would not be delivered and put into service for eight to 12 months is prove that this situation is not a dire emergency is “both faulty and short-sighted.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing sagging jobs numbers, President Barack Obama sought to recast the November election as a fight over tax fairness on Monday, urging tax cut extensions for all families earning less than $250,000 but denying them to households making more than that.

The president’s pitch was aimed at painting Republican rival Mitt Romney as a protector of the rich at a time of economic unease, as Democrats intensify efforts to raise questions about the Romney’s own

CAIRO (AP) — A new showdown loomed in Egypt on Monday as the country’s high-est court stood by its ruling that dissolved parliament last month, challenging the new Islamist president’s plans to recon-vene the lower chamber in defiance of the military.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday said he raised $71 million in June for his re-election cam-paign, after Republican candidate Mitt Romney reported $106 million during the same period. It was the second consecutive month that Romney collected more cash and underscores the challenge for Obama ahead of November.

The grim news for Obama came as his campaign officials have publicly worried they were on track to lose the money race.

DETROIT (AP) — The death of a woman shot in the chest after she hugged an off-duty police officer from behind during a party is a tragic, unfathomable accident, Detroit’s police chief said Monday.

Adaisha Miller was dancing and celebrat-ing what would have been her 25th birthday the next day, when she hugged the officer from behind during a party Sunday, her mother and authorities said. She died later of gunshot wounds to the chest.

Police Chief Ralph Godbee told reporters at a news conference her death is an “unfathom-able” accident and the offi-cer is “very remorseful.”

“We are profoundly sad at their loss,” he said, referring to Mill-er’s family.

Godbee said the gun was in a waist holster made of soft mate-rial, which would have allowed the trigger to be activated. He said there’s no evidence the officer fired the gun, and he believes the gun discharged after Miller

Obama raised $71M in June but Romney topped that with $106MObama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, in an email to supporters just three days ago, said: “Their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election.”

Obama is fighting on two fronts to keep the presidency: On one hand, he faces Romney’s own war chest that pays for cam-paign operations. On the other, he has to push back against the hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to GOP-aligned “super” political action committees, or PACs, which

have aired continual attack ads aimed at Obama and his record.

Indeed, wealthy donors have been instru-mental in helping Romney beat Obama. When he broke fundraising records last month, Romney’s campaign praised small-dollar donors it said made it possible. But it was actually a small and often wealthy number of donors responsible, who gave an average of about $2,400 each, according to an Associated Press analysis.

see FUNDRAISING page 13

Obama seeks to shift election focus toward debate over tax rates wealth and offshore bank accounts.

Romney supports extending the federal tax cuts, first signed by George W. Bush, for all income earners.

Obama said if Congress passes a one-year extension for those making less than $250,000, voters can use the November election to decide the fate of the cuts for higher income earners.

“My opponent will fight to keep them in place. I will fight to end them,” said Obama, flanked by a dozen people the White House

said would benefit from the tax cut extension.The president has long supported ending

the Bush-era tax cuts for those making more than $250,000. The White House and the president’s re-election team are reviv-ing his arguments now as a way to suggest that the push by Romney and congressio-nal Republicans for an across-the-board extension of the tax cuts could put Amer-ica’s middle class at risk.

IPSWICH, Mass. (AP) — AT&T Inc. says it’s drop-ping its legal fight against a Massachusetts busi-nessman whose company was on the hook for a fraudulent million-dollar phone bill.

The telecommunications company said in a state-ment Monday it is no longer pursuing its claims against Michael Smith of Ipswich, “though we are entitled by law to collect the amounts owed.”

Smith said the offer depends on his dropping a countersuit. He’ll meet with his attorney about it on Tuesday.

Smith says someone hacked into his small man-ufacturing company’s phone system in 2009 and made nearly $900,000 in calls to Somalia. AT&T sued Smith for $1.15 million to recover the cost of the calls plus interest.

Smith told The Salem News he repeatedly asked AT&T to write off the bill. He said paying it could force his business to close.

RYE, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire beach is closed to swimming after two sharks were spotted in Rye.

Swimmers were called out the water on Monday afternoon. A park official says the beach will remain closed on Tuesday.

A lifeguard told the Portsmouth Herald that the sharks were about 6 feet long.

Park officials were trying to determine what type of sharks were spotted by the man, who ran out the water yelling near Pirates Cove.

Cape Cod’s Nauset Beach in Orleans, Mass., was closed briefly Saturday after a kayaker had an encounter with the shark about 50 yards from shore. The beach reopened Sunday, and no sharks have been spotted since then.

(AP) — New Hampshire resident Walter Szulc Jr. laughed it off when his teenage daughter told him they should watch out for sharks when the family went to a Cape Cod beach over the weekend.

He wasn’t laughing a few minutes later, when, in his kayak in the ocean not far from shore, he looked behind him and saw the fin of a great white shark within arm’s reach.

Szulc, 41, said he immediately “paddled very fast” and was grateful when he reached the shore in the eastern Massachusetts vacation spot.

“I saw the fin out of the water ... I looked down and saw the body and realized that part of the shark was underneath me, and I just proceeded to paddle,” Szulc said Monday, adding it all happened very fast and his response “was just instinct — paddle and head out of there.”

A photo someone else on the water took of Szulc in his kayak, with the shark’s fin clearly visible behind him, has been widely distributed over the Internet.

Szulc, of Manchester, N.H., said he had kayaked as a child on a lake but had never kayaked in the ocean.

After he and his family arrived at Nauset Beach in Orleans on Saturday, his 14-year-old daughter mentioned there had been shark sightings on the Cape recently and said maybe they should watch

CONCORD (AP) — A gay advocacy group says it has reached a settlement in a discrimination law-suit it filed against a New Hampshire town that attempted to shut down a group home for people with HIV, AIDS and hepatitis C.

Boston-based Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defend-ers sued the town of Gilsum last year on behalf of AIDS Services for the Monadnock Region after the town refused to grant its group home — the Cleve Jones Wellness House — tax-exempt status and moved to seize its deed for non-payment.

Rye beach closed by shark scare

AT&T drops fight over Mass. man’s $1M biz phone bill

N.H. man has close encounter with shark off Cape Codout while in the water.

Szulc said he “made a little bit of a joke of it” and told his daughter there was not much chance of having an encounter on Cape Cod with a great white shark, the type portrayed in the “Jaws” movies. And, with that, he set out in his kayak.

Szulc said he was about 50 yards from shore when he saw a man on a paddleboard hold up his paddle and point it at him.

“I figured he was trying to tell me something,” Szulc said. “I looked back and saw the fin and the body of the shark right behind me.”

Nauset Beach, among the most popular beaches on the lower portion of Cape Cod, was closed briefly Saturday after Szulc’s encounter with the shark. It reopened Sunday, and there have been no shark sight-ings since then, town beach director Lee Miller said.

“There have been reports of sharks in the past, but usually they are farther out, not this close to the bathing beach,” Miller said.

Experts say the sharks are being drawn to Cape Cod’s waters by an increase in the population of seals, a favorite meal of the ocean predators. Swim-mers in Chatham, about 10 miles south of Orleans, have been told to stay away from seals after sharks were spotted there last week.

Settlement reached in Gilsum AIDS discrimination caseLawyers filed notice in Cheshire Superior Court

last week that they had reached a settlement in the case. Details of the settlement will be filed with the court by Aug. 2.

“This case demonstrates that discrimination against people with HIV is hardly a relic of the past,” said attorney Bennett Klein, director of GLAD’s AIDS Law Project.

Attorney Gary Kinyon, who represents the town, did not immediately return calls seeking comment Monday.

City overcharged for worker’s comp insurance, may get 2-year premium holiday

LACONIA — The city will receive a premium holi-day on its worker’s compensation insurance thanks to an agreement reached with the Secretary of State’s office and Primex over excess reserves accu-mulated by the insurance provider.

The city will have a credit of up to $170,000 for future payments according to City Manager Scott Meyers, who said that it is still not clear from the letter from Primex what period the agreement covers and whether or not there will be additional premium savings for the city.

Meyers told City Council members last night that the agreement calls for Primex to provide up to $8-million in relief by September and another $8-million by the end of 2013 and $5-million more in future years to affected New Hampshire policy holders.

‘’We’ll be seeking clarification on this and will get back to the council just as soon as we find out,’’ said Meyers, adding that ‘’the bottom line is, is that it’s good news.’’

The city pays about $270,000 a year for the insur-ance and has already made seven payments totaling about $157,500 this calendar year, although all of the payments do not fall in the current fiscal year.

Meyers said that once the situation is clear it may be that the city is facing a two-year premium holi-

day and that the council will want to consider what to do with the funds it will save and may want to look at doing something other than ‘’backing it out of the budget’’ and then having to restore it in future budgets.

Commenting on the 2012-13 budget which the council approved last month, Meyers noted that the city portion of the budget could have been increased by $644,000 and remained within the property tax cap but that there was no increase at all and that the school budget, which could have had an allow-able increase of $843,000 was 24-percent less than allowed under the tax cap.

‘’We used only 40-percent of what the tax cap allowed for the school and city budgets and that translates into a 15 cent increase in the tax rate, which is a .07-percent hike.

‘’It was a very productive budget which took some progressive actions,’’ said Meyers, who said road paving was increased from $850,000 to $1.3 million while the Highway Department is getting two new dump trucks, a street sweeper and a backhoe and the Fire Department will get a new fire engine.

‘’There’s significant capital investment in this budget,’’ he said in response to comments from Ward 3 Councilman Henry Lipman.

He also said that funds saved in winter mainte-nance costs this past winter are being diverted into a winter maintenance stabilization account which

will be based on a five-year rolling average of main-tenance costs and provide funds when needed to keep costs from spiking.

Meyers said that cost saving measures taken within city have reduced the number of printers and that four out of the six fax machines are now gone, allowing the reduction of four phone lines while making city hall operations more efficient.

In other business:— Ward 6 Councilor Armanda Bolduc suggested

that the Weirs roundabout project at “dysfunction junction” could stop right where it is now. ‘’Everyone I’ve talked to says they like it just the way it is.’’ Meyers said he would bring that thought to state officials, pointing out that it is a state DOT project, not a city project.

— Meyers said the EPA will be giving a report on its investigation of the possibility that, histori-cally, a toxic chemical leaked into the ground from the Henry’s Dry Cleaners site on Pleasant Street on Wednesday, July 18 at 7 p.m. at the Laconia Middle School.

— City officials are looking at changes in the sewer rates for the 700 or so sewer-only customers tied into the city system, most of whom get their water from private wells. They say that there is a high rate of failure for the meters used to measure sewage outputs.

BELMONT — The latest engineering work for the newly relocated B.R.A.T.T. trail will cost an addi-tional $17,000 said Ron Mitchell, the head of the town’s organization that is leading the recreational trail effort, at last night’s Selectboard meeting.

The money is needed for a new engineering plan that has to be changed because the trail is now planned to run through the Agway property on Route 3 while the former plan was to have the trail go through Piche’s lot.

“Bob Bolduc wasn’t comfortable. I guess he wants to build a building back there,” Mitchell told select-men at last night’s regularly scheduled meeting.

The route of Belmont’s Phase I recreational trail has been altered a number of times. At one point it was to run along the railroad tracks that border Lake Win-nisquam, however fencing along the way — required

Belmont recreation trail needs another $17k in engineering; where’s it to come from?by insurance carriers and the state, which owns the right-of-way — was prohibitively expensive.

An attempt to run the trail along Dutile Shore Road failed because all of the easements couldn’t be gotten. Land Use technician Rick Ball said some of the initial route also included some very steep slopes.

The trail will begin at the Mosquito Bridge and end at the Belmont Town Beach and will use land behind the Belknap Mall that is owned by the N.H. Department of Transportation.

Mitchell told selectmen he had a meeting recently with Diane Hanley and Allan Beetle of the WOW Trail in Laconia and said they offered to lend BRATT the money to re-engineer the trail but selectmen and Mitchell said they were leary because they weren’t in a position to repay the loan.

The two trails are expected to meet up at the town line.When Selectman Ron Cormier questioned what he

said seemed like a lot of money for re-engineering a seemingly small portion of the trail, Town Adminis-trator Jeanne Beaudin said there have been a lot of changes at the state and federal level — the project is largely dependent on government grants — and those criteria must be met.

She also suggested selectmen wait a few weeks before making any decisions because she said there is $62,000 in the Phase II B.R.A.T.T. Capital Reserve Fund and she would like to get more information about the possibility of using some of that and report back.

In other business, Selectmen voted to abate $1,800 of a $4,100 water bill incurred by the estate of a family whose loved one died. According to a letter from the family’s lawyer, a water main broke and the basement filled with nearly 1 million gallons of water.

The town’s Water Department noticed the break when a meter reader realized the exorbitant water

LETTERSGilford Firefighters have done nothing we’ve been accused of

Bob Meade

Yesterday, June 28, 2012, the “uncertainty” cited in the letter below was magnified by the Supreme Court of the United States. While the court decided the mandate requiring citi-zens to purchase health insurance was unconstitutional, it found a way to circumvent that unconstitutional-ity by calling the penalties for not pur-chasing the insurance a tax. Nowhere in the Affordable Healthcare Act, as passed, is there a taxing provision. In this case, the court acted as Legisla-tive, Executive, and Judicial Branch, all in one.

The stunning decision of the court is fraught with the potential for many undesired “unintended consequences”. As uncertainty reigns in the business community, hiring will be stalled for an even longer period of time until busi-nesses know what the yet unknown “regulations” are going to impose on them. As those delays continue, a few potential consequences may be that companies move even more jobs over-seas to more stable and friendlier envi-ronments. Federal, state, and local tax revenues will continue to diminish because of the high unemployment. New businesses that would normally have their start-up roots in this coun-try may find themselves being lured to other more favorable locations. As government rolls swell, private sector jobs will diminish and this mismatch will cause the private sector to be taxed at even higher and higher rates to pay for the increased cost of government. While we now borrow one third of what we spend, just to run our government, we will find it more difficult to find those willing to lend us that money and, those that do, will certainly charge us more for doing so. But, worst of all, we may well become subjects of the government and no longer be a govern-ment of, by, and for the people.

We are not helping ourselves to become stronger, we are sapping our strengths and making ourselves more vulnerable.

The following letter was pub-lished in the Laconia Daily Sun on July 31, 2011.

“To the Editor,Are you concerned yet?When he was a Senator, now Presi-

dent Barak Obama wrote a book titled “The Audacity of Hope”. How-ever, what he has given the people and the economy of this country has not been the audacity of hope but the audacity of uncertainty. That uncer-tainty has had the entire business community shepherding and pro-tecting resources, not knowing when the uncertainty will end, or what it will bring. The result is a continuing high unemployment rate, which has diminished Federal tax revenues and increased demands on the govern-ment for services to the needy.

A short time ago, I read that the 2,324-page Obamacare bill has gotten bogged down in writing the

procedures and regulations neces-sary to implement and manage the enormous healthcare bill. Most cur-rent estimates are that it will take a full ten years to complete that task. This has created an uncertainty for employers and workers that, in my memory, is unmatched

This uncertainty is an outrageous assault on the business community and, ultimately, on the workers who are in need of a job. Companies can’t plan and implement changes in their operations if they don’t know the costs and conditions the government is going to impose on them. (Indepen-dent estimates are that Obamacare alone will cost businesses an addi-tional one trillion dollars)

The United States has now sur-passed Japan in assessing the high-est corporate tax rates in the world. While the government might rail against jobs moving overseas, the uncertainty that has been created will undoubtedly force companies to seek safe havens elsewhere to ensure their companies remain viable. As that happens, instead of looking in the mirror, the Obama administration will try to lay the blame on the business community.

In this administration, only about 6-percent of Obama’s advi-sors have first hand business expe-rience, as compared to an average of over 50-percent in all previous administrations, Democrat and Republican alike. Academic cronies imposing their untested theories on the world’s greatest economy have had disastrous effects.

The bottom line is that, contrary to the will of the people, Obamacare, the largest “entitlement” plan ever conceived, was sledge hammered through the congress and forced upon the citizenry and businesses. It puts government in charge of one sixth of the total economy.. The effects of the plan, its rules and regulations, its yet unknown bureaucracy, its costs to the public, medical providers, insur-ers, and to businesses, are all yet unknowns It has created an uncer-tainty that has businesses shepherd-ing their resources until some clarity is provided. And that has caused busi-nesses to delay putting money into new capital projects and has perpetu-ated the problems of unemployment.

It won’t be long before businesses will tire of the government imposed uncertainty and decide that it is their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to move their operations elsewhere . . . . creating more unemployment and further decreasing tax revenues.

And how long before you tire of the uncertainty and its impact on your life?

If you’re not concerned, you’re not paying attention.

To the editor,First off, I am a member of the Gil-

ford Professional Firefighters and I am writing this letter on my own behalf.

Mr. Leandro, you have crossed the line with your letter on July 5th. Do you know who the Gilford Profes-sional Firefighters are? We are an association made up of the 12 full-time firefighters who work for the town of Gilford. There are over 40 people in the department, that includes the full-time staff, call staff and secretary. You accused the Gilford Professional Fire-fighters of an “intimidation campaign” by certain members that included physical intimidation and complaints against the town about you. Are you sure you want to make those accu-sations? I think you had better start doing your homework and get some real facts. There is not one member of the Gilford Professional Firefight-ers who has confronted you verbally or physically. I challenge you to give names and dates.

In my 27 years of being involved with the Gilford Fire Rescue I have never been so insulted from this unprovoked attack. You accuse the chief and the Board of Fire Engineers of being liars. Well Mr. Leandro people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. As far as I can see, any

information you or anyone else has requested on 8E4 has been answered, you seem to just take a little bit of the truth and stretch it.

In your letter you claim that an engine from Laconia has never been needed sense April. Well, during three shifts that I have worked sense April I have operated a Laconia engine twice and a Tilton engine once, while Engine 2 was out of service. Are we supposed to report to you whenever we need to make changes, since you think you know fire department operations so well? Out of all those towns you listed with engines over 25 years old did you ask how many of them would run first due when your neighbor’s house is on fire?

The bottom line is Gilford Profes-sional Firefighters have done nothing that we are accused of doing. We will continue to provide the upmost pro-fessional service that we always have. Anyone who “knows” us knows that. It is sad that I received multiple calls last Thursday from citizens concerned over the slander they read.

I apologize for the three or four let-ters everyone will have to read from the vocal minority, following this one, because they do not think I should have my own opinion.

Scott MooneyGilford

Leandro’s claims that firefighters are trying to intimidate are falseTo the editor,

He calls it scare tactics, when the Gilford Fire Department provides the public with factual and well-doc-umented information on the impor-tance of replacing an unreliable 25 year old fire engine. He calls our fire chief a liar. He calls the Fire Engineers liars. He states there is an intimida-tion campaign waged against him by the 12 full-time firefighters and fire officers that comprise the Gilford Pro-fessional Firefighters.

The claims that any member of the Gilford Professional Firefighters has intimidated you are false, and we are requesting an immediate retraction of your statements. But that is noth-ing new, and a similar theme we hear repeatedly from this minority. Mr. Kevin Leandro has distorted the facts of this issue from day one and taken

a new angle of attack each step of the way. Now he is quoted as saying the Gilford Fire Department can oper-ate effectively with only three fire engines.

Mr. Leandro, please share with everyone how your self-proclaimed expertise in hauling dirt with dump trucks, makes you an expert in deter-mining the fire protection needs of our community.

The Gilford Professional Firefighters will, as always, continue to stand guard and respond to calls for assistance from the citizens and visitors of Gilford. We will not sit silently at your repeated attempts to disregard the safety of your neighbors, and destroy the reputation of the members of the Gilford Fire Depart-ment. And that is a fact.

LETTERSDon’t people have a right to do business where values are shared?To the editor,

We have to admit that we were some-what amused by Niel Young’s recent paranoid-sounding rant in a letter to The Sun. In his letter, Mr. Young accused those who signed the Commu-nity Aspirations Statement of wanting “to suppress the words and thoughts of me and others” and of trying to take away his “right to think and speak here in the Lakes Region.” That is quite a stretch of the imagination.

Who is trying to suppress you and take away your rights Mr. Young? You have made this accusation in the past. How does the Community Aspirations Statement do that? The people who signed it are simply in favour of a nicer, more civil, and more inclusive commu-nity. You asked readers to “read the fine print” of the statement. We have read it over and over and cannot understand how it takes away your rights to express yourself on the radio or in print. Has Ed Engler ever refused to print your let-ters (as editor, he certainly has THAT 1st Amendment right)? Has anyone arrested or tortured you for your ideas? We don’t think so. Could it just be that you consider disagreement to be “perse-cution?”

As far as people who disagree with your politics boycotting your business, that is an entirely different matter altogether. We are not aware of any organized boycott against you or your supporters. We certainly know that no such language exists in the state-ment. But, boycotts are an old and

honourable (and peaceful) tactic, used to great effect during the American Revolution, the Civil Rights Move-ment, the farm workers’ strikes, and a number of other good causes. Boycotts are as American as pecan pie. Remem-ber, conservatives have certainly used the tactic against businesses support-ing causes THEY do not agree with. For example, several years ago, the Southern Baptist Convention called for a boycott of Disneyworld because they were friendly to gays and lesbi-ans. It works both ways, Mr Young.

We thought you are an outspoken defender of unbridled free enterprise, Mr. Young. If you are, you would have to agree that people have a right to shop and do business with businesses and people who share their values. Perhaps you were boycotted by people that did not share your values and who found your words offensive, false, and mean. But, that is not taking away your 1st Amendment rights. You have a right to speak and others have the right to express how they feel. If you were really boycotted by people who do not share your values, it was simply a form of that expression.

An aside to Carol Pierce: Carol, we thought we signed the statement but somehow it did not get to you. Please feel free to add our names to any future publication of the list of sign-ers. It’s a fine statement!

Committee’s effort paid off with 2 1/2% reduced insurance costsTo the editor,

I am pleased to announce that on Monday July 2, at the Meredith Selectboard meeting, a representative from Primex (Public Risk Manage-ment Exchange) presented a prime designation award to our Joint Loss Management Committee (safety com-mittee).

Their efforts have earned a two and a half-percent decrease on our work-

ers comp. and unemployment cover-age, saving the town $2,300.

Congratulations to Safety Commit-tee members, Bill Edney, Fire Chief Ken Jones, Police Chief Kevin Morrow, Dan Leonard, Bruce Plumber, Paul Ristaino, Judy Hodges, Russ Weeks and HR Coordinator/Executive Assis-tant Trish Laurent.

Waukewan Watershed Association are assisting the project.

New Hampton, Center Harbor, and Meredith all have lake frontage. The lake is the potable water supply for Meredith, and drains into Meredith Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee. Center Harbor designated the east side of the Snake River as prime wetlands, which gives the area extra protection under state law. Lake Waukewan, like others in the state, has experienced excess phosphorus concentrations, which not only threaten water quality, but can also adversely affect property values, which reduces the tax base of the towns. By protecting the wetlands fi ltering the river, the towns are protecting not only the environment, but also their fi nancial assets and their citizens.

The acquisition is being made possible by a $100,000 grant from the Aquatic Resources Mitigation (ARM) Fund of the New Hampshire Department of Envi-ronmental Services (DES), along with $30,000 in matching funds. The ARM Fund receives fees from development that impacts wetlands, and DES awards competitive grants to compensate for it.

In order to receive the funding, the New Hamp-ton Conservation Commission will have to create a stewardship plan with trail designs and property use guidelines, document baseline environmental data, and meet various legal requirements. Meredith will hold a conservation easement on the property, with the help of the Meredith Conservation Commission.

The matching funds are coming from the conser-vation commissions and the Waukewan Watershed Association, which has committed to raising the balance. No property taxes are being used. A simi-lar partnership in 2010 enabled the New Hampton Conservation Commission to purchase the abutting 8.5 acre Jacqueline Spear property on the river.

“There was some manipulation along the offi cer’s waistline (that) he did not control,” Godbee told reporters.

The offi cer, whose name was not released, is on desk duty while the case is fully investigated. Police union lawyer John Goldpaugh said the offi cer didn’t know Miller.

“This was just a freak accident,” Goldpaugh told the Detroit Free Press. “They were having a party and the next thing, a woman is dead. He’s devas-tated by what happened.”

Police said previously that the bullet punctured Mill-er’s lung and hit her heart, and she died at a hospital.

Her mother, Yolanda McNair, said the shooting never should have happened.

“All she wanted to do was enjoy the weekend for her birthday,” McNair told WDIV-TV. “She had every right to enjoy turning 25 and look beyond that.”

LETTERSL.J. is right about one thing: big money corrupts unconditionally  This president is the most secretive ever to live in the White House

To the editor,Some things bother me more then

others, for instance when conserva-tives ask some of the questions about Obama that the liberal media refuses to, we routinely get called racist. Why is it we are racist after liberals and the media largely voted for Obama because he WAS black. Seems to me they fell in love with the idea of elect-ing the fi rst black president. It sure wasn’t because of his dazzling politi-cal experience and background. He famously voted “present” on any issue with the slightest meaning. So I have to ask, why are conservatives racist for being against the same things we were against when Al Gore, and John Kerry ran? If liberals do not have a reasonable answer I suggest it is they who are playing the race game.

And as for some of those questions never answered by “the most open and transparent administration”, I remind readers of just a few. Why are the president’s Occidental College records still sealed, what’s in them they don’t want you to know about? That also goes for his Columbia and

Harvard records. And of all things his Selective Service registration has never been released. Why is that? How about the question, did he travel to Pakistan in 1981 on a foreign pass-port? Did he receive foreign student aid as a student? People would love to see some of his published articles as editor of the Harvard Law Review or as a professor at the University of Chicago. Why are they not available to the American people? I’m suspi-cious of people who seal their records and history especially a politician.

This president is the most secretive man ever in the White House, far from the most open and transparent. His whole life’s history is being hidden from us, why? Even today hiding things is his most common practice. We still do not know who authorized the “fast and furious” gun-running program. Who managed it, planned it, none of the important things we the people are entitled to know. I ask again, why not?

Steve EarleHill

To the editor,L.J. Siden contributed his comments

concerning, toxic, political rhetoric submitted in letters to The Daily Sun. Here is the counterpoint.

It could be reasonably argued that screaming, yelling and protesting is American DEMOCRACY in the raw, similar to a town meeting every day, only in the paper. I see it as FREE-DOM at work, and I suspect many others do as well. Every person has a right to be heard and their beliefs test driven and challenged for logic, accuracy or confl icts of self inter-est. Confl icted interest is a major concern when reading any letter. As an example, Kathleen Welcome of Groveton attacked my letter on Pell Grant abuse while she pockets tens of thousands in FREE MONEY from them. People handed welfare in whatever form are poor sources for objective thinking regarding ANY handouts being stopped, reduced or reformed. With LJ’s beliefs so strong, I ask him why he wasn’t denouncing the noisy, fi nger pointing Occupy Wall Street rabblerousers last summer, who were blaming their life’s misfortune on the 1-percent? I am sure you recall the fringe group of un-hygienic Americans yelling, screaming, urinating and def-ecating in the park. hassling pin stripe types, spitting on the cops and smoke’n who knows what. The truth is protest-ing and making loud noise in the paper or anywhere to attract attention to ones frustrations is acceptable within the limits of the law. Politics and writing are SUBSTITUTES for WAR. The vast majority of letters to The Sun concern politics at one level or another. Thus letters to the editor are WAR without the bullets but with the same LOUD noise. Look to the TEA party to con-fi rm that angry, emotional, protesting can be successful. In 2010 almost every Democrat up for election lost their job coast-to-coast after many of the tea sip-pers beliefs and concerns became main-stream that democrats in control of all branches of government were OVER REACHING and OVER SPENDING.

Look at Obama right now. It is election year! He has held more than ONE HUN-DRED SIXTY political FUND RAISERS since Jan. 1 to raise BIG money. That is more than the previous FOUR presidents COMBINED in the same time period. Why? This will be no slam dunk election like 2008. He needs a billion to BUY more

NOISE ON TV (ADS) to drown out and angrily demonize his opponent’s mes-sage. More money means Obama ads more often, louder and longer. You will be a babbling idiot by election day, listening to the mind numbing drivel. Worse, every ad will be slippery, partisan, concoction of fantasy that skips on threads of truth to produce a false conclusion. Example: Obama the community organizer who doesn’t know net margin from net profi t is better prepared to create jobs than someone who worked his life in the pri-vate sector buying, selling and rehabbing businesses. That partisans with honest, justifi ed fear about the direction of Amer-ica would do the same thing in The Daily Sun should surprise no one including L.J. It is fact the person who raises the most money who can yell loudest and longest that is almost certain to win any election. Why do you think Obama is spending lit-erally every waking hour running from one fund raiser to the next NOT ACTU-ALLY RUNNING THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT as job creation stalls and the economy sputters aimlessly. America is now LEADERLESS as he campaigns 24/7, letting Americas troubles blow in the wind.

L.J. is right about one thing. Big money corrupts unconditionally and it comes from all sources both private and PUBLIC. ALL politicians are drawn to it like a moth to a light. There is no weaker-willed bunch to green than red and blue politicians. MY SUGGESTION to L.J., let’s STOP the subsidies for ALL, let’s plug ALL the loop holes in the tax code, which includes remov-ing the mortgage interest deduction (it’s a loophole). Lets have a flat, fair tax, everyone earning over 40k pays 12-percent of their income, no exceptions. Medicare and Social Security withholding taxes are increased to match what people actually collect. Lets declare WAR on WELFARE as CLINTON DID instead of FERTILIZING it the way Obama does. All welfare handouts do is allow politicians VOTE BUYING opportu-nities to swing elections. Let’s get EVERY UNION OUT of the PUBLIC SECTOR the way FDR demanded, assuring their VOTE is not POISONED for political promises of another raise. I am ready to clean house of political cronyism when you are L.J. Are you really interested in reducing angry let-ters or are you just a camouflaged socialist supporting more double-down Democratic failure in the person of Obama? I suspect the latter.

GILFORD — Many of those re-enactors taking part in a Civil War era encampment held at the Gil-ford Village Field Saturday have family ties to the history they portray.

Dan Meehan, a Rochester firefighter, says that he’s been active with the Sons of Union Veterans for 20 years and that the 12th New Hampshire Volun-teer Infantry, which fought in many major battles, including Gettysburg, was re-formed 11 years ago this month to help keep alive the memory of the reg-iment and to serve as a resource for those interested in knowing what the Civil War was really like.

‘’It’s become a way of life more than just a hobby. Why else would you be wearing flannel clothes on a hot day like this,’’ said Meehan as he spoke with people who showed up at the encampment.

He said that through researching his family his-tory many years ago he found that a great-uncle had served with the 5th New Hampshire Regiment and more recently he has come across records showing that four other members of his family, which traces its roots to Ireland, had also served in the war.

‘’We do a lot of talks in schools and put on pro-grams for other groups so that they can see how the soldiers lived and the kind of weapons and equip-ment they carried,’’ said Meehan, who took a vaca-tion day from his job so that he could take part in the encampment, which was part of Gilford’s bicen-tennial celebration.

He said that he has uncovered many histori-cal gems in his research over the years, including an account of how a Confederate soldier who had escaped from a prison ship in Boston Harbor had made his escape to Rye, New Hampshire, where he was aided by a Confederate sympathizer who was helping to arrange for him to get back to the South when he was recaptured.

Roger Nason of New Durham, a software analyst,who has been a re-enactor for the last 11 years. says that his great-great grandfather, Benja-min Falls of Lynn, Mass., fought at Gettysburg and later died in battle at Spottsylvania.

He said that some states, such as Kentucky and Maryland, sent troops to both sides during the Civil War and that at the battle of Antietam the 1st Mary-land Regiment troops for the Union Army faced the 1st Maryland Regiment of the Confederate forces.

Steve Dow of Barrington is new to re-enacting and fired his Civil War era rifle for the first time ever on Saturday.

‘’It’s an interesting thing to do. You get to walk in your ancestor’s foot steps and experience life as they

did during the Civil War, except that you get to go home at the end of the day and they couldn’t’’ said Dow, who is a truck driver.

John Hollinrake of Warren is in his sixth year with the 12th New Hampshire and also serves with both the 2nd Vermont and 2nd Mississippi.

“I’m an equal opportunity re-enactor. I let anyone shoot at me,’’ says Hollinrake.

He said that his great uncles, Daniel and Nathan-iel Meserve, twin brothers from Wakefield, both fought in the war. Daniel was killed at Fort Schuyler on March 10, 1863 and Nathaniel at the battle of Drewery’s Bluff outside of Richmond, Va.

He said that an account of Nathaniel’s death said that he had been hiding behind a log when he looked up to try and locate the enemy and was shot in the forehead and killed instantly.

Another relative, James Meserve of Bridgewater, who was with the 2nd New Hampshire Calvary, was captured in May of 1864, only one month after he enlisted, and sent to the infamous Andersonville prison camp, where he died in September of that year.

Hollinrake said the real killers during the Civil War were diseases, which claimed the lives of twice as many men as the battlegrounds.

History shows that at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, the 12th New Hampshire was heavily engaged north of the Klingel Farm, facing attack by Wilcox’s Alabama brigade. The regiment had 224 men on the field that day, of whom 26 were killed and 73 were wounded (an additional six men would die of their wounds). Captain John F. Langley (Company F) was in command, and was wounded when the regiment was ordered to withdraw. Lieutenant William H. H. Fernel (Company I) took command and was able to rescue some 50 Union soldiers who were captured during the withdrawal.

The following day, only 50 men were fit for duty under the command of Captain Thomas E. Barker (Company B). Placed near the center of the Union line, they helped repulse Pickett’s charge.

There is a monument at Gettysburg honoring the 12th New Hampshire.

LACONIA — A Gilford man who is said to have admitted to police he had a drug dependency prob-lem was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail after appearing by video in circuit court this morning.

Police affidavits said Michael Lewis, 40, of 131 Lake St. in Gilford went into Osco Drugs, which is inside Shaw’s Supermarket, just after noon Sunday and handed the pharmacist a note telling him to give him some narcotics and that he had a “weapon.”

The pharmacist, who knew Lewis as a customer, described him as 6-feet, 6-inches tall and weighing about 220 to 240 pounds. He was able to give police Lewis’s name.

Police from Gilford, assisted by Laconia, contacted Lewis’s wife who handed them a bag that contained several bottles of pills as well as some loose pills in the bottom.

Man said to have demanded narcotics from Gilford supermarket pharmacy arrested a short while later

She told them she had confronted Lewis when he returned home and had learned what he had alleg-edly done.

Police took Lewis into custody just after 2 p.m. without incident.

After being advised of his rights, police said Lewis told them he was addicted to opiates, that he was “jonesing” for the drug, and that his life was falling apart.

He said he wrote the note without telling his wife what he was doing and walked to the store. He alleg-edly told police he and the pharmacist didn’t speak during the alleged robbery.

Lewis was found guilty of possession of a con-trolled drug in 1999 and of theft by unauthorized taking in 2010.

the court gives great weight to the opinion of the fire officials who have the necessary expertise to weigh in on these issues,” he said, addressing the second of the five criteria that must be met in order for his to authorize a special town meeting.

McHugh also said the circumstances surrounding the additional repairs needed by Engine 4 could only have been became known when Chief Steve Carrier brought the truck to Lakes Region Fire Apparatus in Tamworth after the request to buy a new pumper tanker failed at March’s town meeting and he was ordered to get the 25-year-old truck fixed.

Discussion the removal of a warrant article that, if presented to votes and passed in March, would have allowed the town up to $150,000 to repair or refurbish the old truck, McHugh said he was swayed by the information provided at the hearing by the National Fire Prevention Association that

says fire apparatus older than 25-years old should be replaced and that he could not “quarrel with the conclusion of the Fire Department that the expendi-ture of additional funds to have a complete inspec-tion was not prudent given the vehicle in question is approximately 25-years-old.”

As to the fifth criteria, McHUgh found that the only alternative right now is to spend money on repairs that the town doesn’t have and “that would be akin to throwing good money after bad...”

The Selectboard is calling for a vote on September 11, primary election day in New Hampshire. The fire truck initiative will require a three-fifth majority (60-percent) for passage, something McHugh said on the day of the hearing was quite a hurdle.

The Selectmen will hold a public hearing on the matter this Wednesday at the Selectmen’s meeting room at 7 p.m.

the rulings of the country’s top court ignored or breached.

At the same time, the Supreme Constitutional Court sent out a clear signal that it will not bow to Morsi’s wish, saying in a statement after an emer-gency meeting on Monday that its June 14 ruling to invalidate the Islamist-dominated parliament was final and binding.

“Morsi’s move sets the stage for a potentially very serious political and constitutional crisis,” said Michael W. Hanna, an expert on Egypt from the New York-based Century Foundation.

Morsi, through his spokesman Yasser Ali, insisted his decision to reconvene the 508-seat chamber on Tuesday was an “assertion of the popular will.”

His presidential decree also calls for new par-liamentary elections after a new constitution is adopted, something that is not expected before the end of the year — in effect according legitimacy to a legislature the country’s highest court ruled to be invalid.

cial response area,” which is patrolled three times during each of the three shifts per day. Simmons said that officers have been directed to walk the park, speak to people and report what they observe to the dispatcher. “We haven’t actually seen a lot,” he confessed.

Referring to statistics collected by the department, Simmons said that the data suggests few problems, but cautioned that the data records only “what we know happened down there, not what actually happens down there.” In June, there were 1,171 calls for service throughout the city, but only four at Wyatt Park, one for a disturbance, one for loitering, one for an intoxicated person and one for a wanted person.

Both Simmons and Hubbard urged residents who witnessed suspicious or inappropriate behavior in the park to call the police. In particular, Hubbard stressed that once the police have identified troublemakers they tend not to frequent the area. A resident, who chose not to be named, agreed. She said that one group of young men “leave as soon as they see you coming.”

“It really has changed,” Perrino said, “there is less traffic, less speeding, less hanging out. She applauded the decision to lock the basketball court, which was the scene of much of the behavior that annoyed neighbors at night , at 8 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. She said that she no longer sees the same groups who were frequent sources of complaints in the past.

Chris Guilmett said that “the POP program is working from what I can see.” He said that he recognizes most of the kids using the park and suspects that the numbers from nearby towns congregating there has diminished.

Meanwhile, following a meeting of neighborhood residents at the Com-munity Center in May, when plans for the improvement of the park were presented by the Parks and Recre-ation Department, a group of resi-dents has formed the Wyatt Park and South End Community Revitalization Project. With a $10,000 grant from the Foundation for Healthy Commu-nities, the group intends to take steps to enhance the neighborhood and the park. “This is a gateway to Laconia,” said Guilmett, “that should be a show-case.”

GLAD filed the lawsuit one year ago, after the AIDS Services organization filed its application for tax-exempt status several days late and the town denied it. Lawyers for GLAD say they determined that other nonprofits in town — including the Congregational Church and the American Legion — filed applications late or not at all yet retained their tax-exempt status.

The town agreed to take no action to have the deed transferred to it until the lawsuit was resolved.

The group home and town have had legal differences in the past, Klein said.

GLAD sued Gilsum in 2008 after the town put up roadblocks to Cleve Jones Wellness House operating on the site of a former group home for

girls, according to Klein.AIDS Services did not file an appli-

cation in 2007 because its executive director mistakenly believed the tax exemption was automatic, not some-thing that must be filed annually, the lawsuit said. It was filed one month late in 2008 and three days late in 2009.

The selectmen have the option of approving late applications for tax exemption.

The lawsuit sought a refund of the $11,559 in taxes and interest AIDS Services paid the town in 2010.

AIDS services for the Monadnock Region serves clients in Cheshire County and parts of Sullivan and Hill-sborough counties. The group home — the first of its kind in the state — houses seven residents.

Americans and our economy hostage while we debate the merits of another tax cut for the wealthy,” Obama said at the White House.

The president’s sudden focus on the tax fairness debate was also an attempt to change the election subject after yet another lackluster jobs report. New numbers released Friday showed the nation’s unemployment rate stuck at 8.2 percent, giving Romney fresh grounds to attack Obama as unfit to steer the U.S. economy.

Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said the president was responding to the bad economic news by calling for a “massive tax increase.”

“It just proves again that the presi-dent doesn’t have a clue how to get America working again and help the middle class,” Saul said.

Obama said his proposal was aimed at staving off an end-of-the year stale-mate with Congress. But it appeared to have the opposite effect.

Congressional Republicans immedi-ately balked, saying it would be a mis-take to raise taxes on anyone while the economy was still struggling to recover. The House GOP plans to make its own push this summer for a full extension of the tax cuts.

Obama said later Monday that he would veto such a bill if it landed on his desk.

Ahead of Obama’s remarks on Monday, White House officials con-sulted with congressional Democrats to shore up support within the party. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of his party’s Senate leadership, had both previously advo-cated extending the cuts to those who make up to $1 million annually, but on Monday they stood in solidarity with the president.

Obama angered many fellow Demo-crats in 2010 when he signed off on a full extension of the Bush tax cuts, in part to win concessions from Republi-cans on other legislation.

Extending the tax cuts only for households making below $250,000 would save the government about $800 billion over 10 years compared with extending them for everyone. The full cuts cost the government about $4.5 trillion over a decade.

Economists worry that across-the-board tax increases, along with auto-matic spending cuts also scheduled to take hold at year’s end, could be a blow to the shaky U.S. economy.

New Patients Always Welcome

GILFORD — Police continue to investigate a two-car accident that happened just after 1:30 p.m. Sunday that sent three people to Lakes Region Gen-eral Hospital in Laconia with what police are calling non-life threatening injuries.

Lt. James Leach said Justin Sperry, 21, of Mere-dith was headed east in a Ford Focus on Lake Shore Road when he struck a Chevy Equinox headed in the opposite direction. Leach said Sperry “looked away from the road momentarily to his passenger” and when he looked up, he attempted to turn and avoid hitting Julie Derderian’s Equinox.

Derderian, who is from Arlington, N.H., continued to head west after the side-swipe type collision and came to rest of the shoulder in the west bound lane.

Sperry’s Ford appeared to have spun 90 degrees

3 hurt in sideswipe accident on Lake Shore Roadafter the impact rolled onto its roof and continued to like east on its roof, finally stopping about 100 feet east of the point there to two vehicles side-swiped each other.

Leach said the point of impact appeared to be on the double yellow lines and he determined this because of a large gouge in the pavement.

He said Sperry and his passenger, Cathrine Mina-han, of Wakefield, Mass. were wearing seatbelts and were able to walk away. He said he didn’t know if Derderian was wearing a seat belt.

All three were taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital. Laconia and Alton Police assisted with traffic and the road was closed for a period of time.

Like Obama, Romney often touts the high percent-age of donors who gave less than $250, underscoring the perception that a large, grassroots group of Amer-icans want him in the White House. Romney’s cam-paign said that about 94 percent of 571,000 donors gave those amounts in June, or about $22 million.

But that leaves a little more than 34,000 respon-sible for the rest of the $83.8 million, the AP found. That’s about $2,400 on average per person.

Just as first-class passengers pay the bulk of an airline flight’s costs, wealthy donors to Romney and Obama often make the difference for campaigns. Even for Obama, who harnessed the power of small, grassroots donations to help clinch the presidency four years ago, more than two-thirds of his supporters gave $200 or more.

Both men have broad geographic appeal, with contributions from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Discounting small donors would ignore an important measure of support for the candidates, particularly as Romney is gaining on the president in terms of cash left in the bank.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a Romney surrogate, said June’s contributions point to an increasing grassroots-fundraising movement that he said is exceeding expectations. “People feel the country is on the wrong track,” Pawlenty said in an interview. “They’re hopeful and excited. And they’re willing to chip in.”

Meanwhile, large contributors — up to the legal limit of $2,500 for the campaign during the primary and another $2,500 during the general election - are

vital in an election whose cost might surpass $1 billion.In May, for example, a month after Romney began

raising money with the Republican Party, he raised $76.8 million - more than Obama and Democrats by about $16 million. During that month, only one in six donors accounted for $64.8 million - or 84 per-cent - of that cash.

The importance of high-dollar donors underscores the more than 100 fundraising events Romney has held since earlier this spring, in tony locales like Park City, Utah; Aspen, Colo.; and the Hamptons. Just this weekend, an evening dinner at the ocean-front Hamp-tons estate of billionaire industrialist David Koch cost $50,000 per person or $75,000 per couple.

Obama’s campaign hosts glitzy campaign events of its own, more recently at actor George Clooney’s mansion in California. But Romney’s fundraising surge underscores how wealthy donors are creating a financial challenge for Obama - who once assailed the influence of corporate money and super PACs.

Republican-aligned super PACs, including Restore Our Future and American Crossroads, plan to spend hun-dreds of millions of dollars this election to defeat Obama. While Obama has super PACs working in his favor, they haven’t harnessed the large sums of money that the pro-Romney groups have been able to do so far.

As a result, Obama’s campaign has said repeat-edly and publicly that the president could be the first incumbent to be out-raised by his challenger. That message has come lately in the form of online fund-raising pleas, asking supporters for small donations - usually $3 - to help push back against Romney.

LACONIA — The city has been awarded a $50,000 Community Plan-ning Grant by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, which will be applied to preparing overlay zoning districts for mixed-use devel-opment and multi-family housing in the downtown and at The Weirs.

The New Hampshire Finance Authority was one of 27 state and local agencies to receive a share of $28-million distributed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development through its Com-munity Challenge Grant program. Laconia was among 22 municipalities in New Hampshire to receive with an aggregate value of $550,000.

The overlay districts will incorpo-rate guidelines and standards for

architectural design, building place-ment, streetscapes, pedestrian walk-ways, traffic flow, parking space, common areas and financing options. The city has established tax incre-ment financing, or TIF, districts downtown and in Lakeport and first proposed doing the same at The Weirs in 2004. State law authorizes munici-palities to define a TIF district then apply a portion of the future tax rev-enues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to finance public improvements within it. Like-wise, the Planning Department has sought to address the zoning at The Weirs, which is now divided into a number of districts.

KANSAS CITY (AP) -— Prince Fielder made a splash at the All-Star Home Run Derby. Eight of them.

The Detroit slugger joined Ken Griffey Jr. as the only players to win multiple titles, thrilling the crowd at Kauffman Stadium with several shots into the right-field fountain and beat-ing Toronto’s Jose Bautista 12-7 in the final Monday night.

“Just being mentioned with him is real special,” said Fielder, who spent time at Griffey’s house when he was a kid. “My dad would let me go over and play video games all day. He always took care of me when I was a kid.”

On a night when the Yankees’ Rob-inson Cano was repeatedly booed and went homerless, Fielder put on the most powerful display among baseball’s big boppers. Winner at St. Louis’ Busch Stadium three years ago, Fielder had a total of 28 home runs over three rounds to cap the main event on the eve of the All-Star Game. He hit the four longest drives of the night, including a pair at 476 feet.

“They were far,” he said. “That’s not easy to hit it out there.”

While the ball stayed out of McCovey Cove during the 2007 Derby

Prince Fielder wins Home Run Derbyat San Francisco’s AT&T Park and the right-field swimming pool last year at Chase Field in Phoenix, there was plenty of aquatic activity in Kansas City, second only to Rome for most fountains in cities around the world.

After three splash shots among his five homers in the first round, Fielder started off the second round as the setting sun lit up clouds in a pretty pink behind the left-field wall. His mop of dreadlocks visible as he hit without a helmet, Fielder deposited four more balls into the 322-foot-wide water spectacular, which by then was illuminated in the twilight.

He added another water drive in the final round, then leaned against one of his sons while he watched Bautista swing.

“I’m a little disappointed,” Bautista said. “I’m capable of doing more. I had a lot of fun doing it.”

When he won three years ago in St. Louis, Fielder’s 23 homers included a 503-foot drive that disappeared between two sections of bleachers in right-center. Griffey won titles in 1994 at Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium, 1998 at Denver’s Coors Field and 1999 at Boston’s Fenway Park.

WHAT IS SCALING & ROOT PLANING ? Scaling and root planing (S&RP) is one of the treatments used to treat patients with periodontal (gum) disease, which is an infection in the supporting structures of our teeth (bone, gums, root surfaces, ligaments). This complex disease involves a tremendous number of bacteria and does not go away by itself. An estimated 20% of Americans have gum disease; it is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Most people don’t know they have it because it doesn’t hurt until it gets very advanced. Even people who have moderate to severe gum disease are usually comfortable with their teeth and unaware that they have a problem until it is too late to treat it (except by extraction, which is effective but unfortunate). In lay terms, a scaling and root planing treatment is sometimes referred to as a “deep cleaning”. During this procedure, bacteria (plaque) and calculus (or “tartar”) are removed (“scaled”) from the roots below the gumline. After the bacteria are removed, the root surfaces are smoothed (planed) to complete the cleaning process. The body can then begin the healing process since the toxins have been eliminated. With follow-up cleanings on a regular basis and vigilant homecare, this disease can be controlled. S&RP can be an effective procedure when treating gum disease, although in some cases other treatment is also needed. Early intervention is the best way to recover your good health, and S&RP is a cost-effective and comfortable “first line” treatment pathway. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, ask about scaling and root planing. It’s a lot easier and cheaper than losing your teeth.

She baked Gilford’s big cakeBill and Sally Bickford of Kitchen Cravings in Gilford say they’ve received far too much credit for the Gilford Bicentennial Birthday cake, a 250 pound creation which required four police officers to carry it at the opening ceremony for the town’s Bicentennial Cel-ebration kickoff last month. They say that Tegan Lavallee of Gil-ford, shown above, who has been baking for them for two years, did almost all of the work on the cake, which featured eight dif-ferent flavors, including cocolate, vanilla, strawberry chocolate chip, orange chocolate chip, blueberry and spice. The cake, which featured replicas of the Grange Hall and the Community Church meeting house, had 60 pounds of frosting with roofs of the build-ings made from Rice Krispie squares. Lavallee spent more than 25 hours baking and decorating the cake. A graduate of Lakes Region Community College, where she took part in the school’s Culinary Arts Program, Tegan has perfected her own T-Clairs recipe, which she bakes in her home, and worked at Abodante’s in Meredith before coming to work at Kitchen Cravings.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — AJ Allmendinger is “shell-shocked” by his failed drug test and his busi-ness manager said Monday that the suspended NASCAR driver is working hard to determine what went wrong.

Allmendinger was suspended by NASCAR just before Saturday night’s race at Daytona for failing a random June 29 drug test. NASCAR on Monday received an official request for Allmendinger’s “B’’ sample to be tested.

“He was a little dumbfounded and shell-shocked Saturday night, and yesterday, it just seemed a little surreal,” business manager Tara Ragan told The Associated Press. “It’s just so far from AJ’s character, and he’s trying to come to terms with what has just happened and figure out how this could happen and respect NASCAR’s process.”

Penske Racing said it is working with NASCAR to “follow its process and procedures,” but the team will use Sam Hornish Jr. this weekend at New Hampshire in Allmendinger’s No. 22 Dodge. Ragan said Allmendinger is working with Penske Racing to help the organization “get to the bottom of this.”

NASCAR and Penske officials have not said what Allmendinger tested positive for, and Allmendinger has made no statement since his suspension.

Allmendinger is the second Sprint Cup Series driver suspended since NASCAR implemented its drug policy in 2009. Jeremy Mayfield chose not to participate in NASCAR’s rehabilitation program and instead contested his 2009 suspension in court. He eventually lost his fight after a lengthy battle, and has not raced since.

Allmendinger is the fourth driver spanning NAS-CAR’s three national series to be suspended for a failed drug test; none of the previous three has been re-instated.

He was clearly caught off guard by the test results; Allmendinger’s Twitter feed showed he was appear-ing on behalf of sponsor Shell/Pennzoil less than two hours before the suspension was announced at 6 p.m. Saturday

According to the timeline provided by NASCAR, its medical review officer first alerted Allmendinger of his positive test about six hours before the sus-pension was announced. Allmendinger then had the opportunity to explain the result, and the medi-cal officer had the responsibility to investigate any offered explanation.

Under NASCAR’s procedures, it’s assumed All-mendinger was unable to provide a plausible reason for the failed drug test because the second step — alerting NASCAR to the positive result — was done at 2:30 p.m. NASCAR then met with Allmendinger and a senior Penske official, and the suspension was announced roughly 90 minutes before the start of the race.

Hornish was the emergency substitute for All-mendinger on Saturday night. He was pulled off a

At NHMS, Hornish to again sub for suspended Allmendingertelevision set in North Carolina, where he was an analyst on a live broadcast, and flew to Daytona International Speedway. Hornish arrived right before the start of the race. A cut tire contributed to his 33rd-place finish.

Penske Racing president Tim Cindric said Monday the team is again going with Hornish this week because making the decision allows the No. 22 team to move forward with its preparations without any uncertainty.

Carl was born on April 1, 1919 in Man-chester, N.H., son of Charles Albert Lau-rier of Quebec and Eva (Audette) Laurier. Carl was a nephew of Sir Wilfred Laurier, former Prime Minister of Canada who died in the year of Carl’s birth, 1919.

Carl grew up in Manchester, N.H. where his father worked as an Agent of the Cana-dian Government. After his father’s death in 1927, the family moved to Laconia, N.H.

Upon graduating from Laconia High School, he went to work at Scott & Williams. He became a machinist-tool maker, as well as Department Fore-man and Superintendent. Over the years he learned metallurgy and mechanical engineering while work-ing at Scott & Williams, Titeflex Corp. in Massachu-setts and Kingsbury Machine Tool Corp. in Keene, N.H. where he was head of the Quality Control Dept.

Carl served as a selectman for the towns of Stod-dard and Gilford, N.H. He was a member of the Congregational Church of East Longmeadow, Mass. and the Congregational Church of Laconia, N.H. He was also a member of the Elks Lodge of Keene and Laconia.

Upon his retirement in 1983 from Kingsbury, Carl and his wife, Susanna, moved to Gilford, N.H. Carl worked part time at Cooper Products in Laconia until final retirement several years later.

Carl had a love for music and as a young man learned how to play the coronet. He became an accomplished musician, well known throughout the New England area. He played in several bands during the Big Band Era filling in with many notable bands playing in the East. Carl also enjoyed jam sessions with his musician buddies. Carl and the band performed at the Winni-pesaukee Gardens and at the Alton Bay Pavilion. He performed in the summer open concerts in Gilford,

Wolfeboro and Center Harbor. He was the oldest volunteer member at that time being 89 years young. His music could be heard on old “78” vinyl records, as well as a couple newer CDs produced by some of the bands he played in.

Carl was an avid outdoorsman through-out his life. He was a skilled hunter and an exceptional marksman. Canoeing, hiking and fishing brought great joy to him. He was active in most all sports as a youth which gave him great physical abil-ities and stamina for his many outdoor adventures. Carl was part Native Ameri-

can of the Quebec Cree Tribe and he had a thorough understanding of the natural world. He practiced the “Way of the Forest, Waters, and Creatures” and he possessed great reverence for all things in nature.

O’Callaghan of Meredith, N.H. and a son, James A.

The Swift River Jazz Band. (Courtesy photo)

Swift River Jazz Band brings Dixieland sound to Franklin Opera House

FRANKLIN — Dixie-land, that raucous sound of Beale Street, Memphis, Bourbon Street, New Orleans and Mississippi riverboats will fi ll the air at the Franklin Opera House, with two shows on Friday, July 13 as the Swift River Jazz Band comes to town.

For years the Swift River Jazz Band has been daz-zling music fans with their fi ne musical skills and ability to draw the audience in, making them believe, if only for a while, that they are sitting on the delta, wearing a straw boater and a string tie, dipping their feet in the river.

The 2 p.m. show will be directed to a more mature audience. Seniors are especially invited and the modest ticket price of $8 for Seniors (general admis-sion $10) refl ects the desire of the Opera House to provide high quality enter-tainment at a very reasonable cost.

The evening show, at 7 pm, like the afternoon show, is open to all, with a still modest ticket price of $12; Seniors and kids being admitted for only $10.

The Swift River Jazz Band is pre-sented through the co-operative efforts of three area elder care facilities: The

Peabody Home and The Golden Crest Retirement of Franklin as well as the NH Veterans Home of Tilton.

Theater goers are encouraged to dine before either show at one of the Franklin restaurants that supports the Franklin Opera House: Ciao Pasta, Ralph & Jo’s Café or The Soda Shoppe, all to be found on Central Street, on the way to the Opera House.

The Franklin Opera House is located in City Hall, 316 Central Street, Franklin. The Opera House is wheelchair accessible, all seats have unobstructed views of the stage and there is ample free parking nearby.

For further information please con-tact the Franklin Opera House, 934-1901 or www.FranklinOperaHouse.org.

During the months of July and August, dinner cruises are offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Sunset dinner cruises include a buffet dinner and dancing to live music.

The M/S Mount Washington fea-tures four levels, three dance fl oors and several outside areas for enjoying the cruise during the daytime or eve-ning. The family-owned ship operates May through October, offering daytime scenic, evening dinner & dance, and special themed cruises. With a capacity of 1,250 passengers, the Mount serves as the largest restaurant in the state and a popular gathering point for school proms, college reunions, large corporate celebrations and weddings-approxi-mately 700 couples have tied the knot aboard the M/S Mount Washington.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One thing you can count on is that however good or bad a situation may be, it will change. You’ll likely fi nd that the imper-manence of today’s situation is what makes it remarkably beautiful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll fl oat in time today. “Nostalgia” describes a feeling for the past, altered from its original form. But what feeling for any time period other than the now moment is (SET ITAL) not (END ITAL) altered in some way? GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you’re seeking opportunity, you might stop and consider that life itself is an opportunity. So the seeking can end. On with the business of accepting what you see and following it to the next evo-lution. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be taken to the next level of excitement. The one who is sensitive will notice how you’re feeling and try to help you feel better. This is true even when you are already feeling joyful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are con-nected to your family, and they feel your feelings in some small way all the time. With the onus of emotion on you, you feel obligated to be happy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll act on a whim. If it winds up fruitful, it was a good idea; if not, it will lead you back to where you were. Either way, you’ve progressed. Hard to see, per-haps, but you have. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your responsibilities are many, and they are also few. It all depends on what you claim. You’ll look at your scene with a judicious eye. Which responsibilities are really yours?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know what you know. Who else wants to know it? That is the question. You’ll answer it. And you’ll make money with the answer, too. How cool is that? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Maybe you’ve heard that nature is stronger than man. Then again, isn’t man a part of nature? You’ll prove today that man is a mighty part, indeed, when you assert yourself against the forces of nature and win. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know what you think is true, but others don’t believe the same way. Instead of starting a debate, you will likely agree to disagree, which is the most civil, mature thing to do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When things are not going your way, you’ll persist. Sitting back and waiting just isn’t your style. Light nudges for-ward are often all it takes to start some momentum. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve grown some protective boundaries, and it’s good that you have them in place. You need a degree of security in order to do your important work. You’ll feel safe enough to fully exert yourself. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 10). You’ll get what you want because you’re willing to sacrifi ce a bit of com-fort and security to get it. Love and risk go together now through the end of August, an exciting time indeed. Con-nections you make in September lead you into a brave new world. The vic-tories of your team are your victories, too, in December. January brings a windfall. Taurus and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 3, 19, 2 and 29.

PET OF THE WEEK IS PHIL PHIL

Beagle’s have the best noses in the world of dogs. They can smell things

nosing around for something to

eat. Brought under police

protection to our shelter he has

been waiting since May for his

forever home.

Personably, chummy, friendly to

all, other that his slight

rotundity, he is a great dog.

She currently resides in Charlotte, NC with her husband and two children, and has been involved for several years with the music program there at the Hickory Grove Baptist Church.

Pianist Mary Rivers is a retired educator who lives in Laconia with her husband, David, and enjoys fre-quent visits from their two children and six grand-children. She is also the pianist for the Laconia Unitarian-Universalist Church.

‘Yakking for Loons’ event set for Friday, July 13

MOULTONBOROUGH — The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) will hold its fi rst annual “LPC Kayak-A-Thon” or “Yakking for Loons” to be held on Friday, July 13.

Paddlers will meet at Lee’s Mill Landing, just down the road from The Loon Center on Lake Win-nipesaukee, at 8 a.m. and can choose between the 2.5 mile “Ganzy” course or the 4.6 mile “Green’s Basin” course, or do both. Those without kayak can rent one at the landing along with a paddle and lifejacket for only $20, or use a paddleboard or canoe.

Registration is $10/person and includes a light lunch. Yakkers can also solicit additional sponsors, if they choose, with all proceeds benefi ting the Loon Preservation Committee. The fi rst 50 paddlers to register will receive an LPC “Yakking for Loons” baseball cap, and there will be a prize for most funds raised.

Registration and pledge forms can be downloaded from LPC’s website: www.loon.org/yakking.php. Children under 18 years of age must be accompa-nied by an adult. Registration deadline is July 9.

Co-chairing the event are LPC members, and neighbors on Lake Winnipesaukee, Linda Allen and Joanne Chesley. Their love for paddling and their resident loons prompted them to approach LPC with this idea for raising funds.

For more information about “Yakking for Loons” contact Lin O’Bara at lobara@loon.org or by calling 603-476-LOON.

The Loon Preservation Committee, a non-profi t organization, works to preserve loons and their habitats in New Hampshire through monitoring, research, management and education.

Demonstration on alternatives to hazardous products offered July 12

LACONIA — The Lakes Region Planning Com-mission (LRPC) staff will hold a demonstration on how to use a variety of recipes and tips as alterna-tives to household hazardous products. The free demonstration will take place at the Meredith Com-munity Center on Thursday July 12 at 6:30 p.m.

The LRPC was able to obtain a small grant from NH DES to pay for the printing of a large batch of the “Alternatives to Household Hazardous Waste” fl ipbooks. The fl ipbook is a compact, wire-bound, eye-catching resource of Tips and Recipes that people can keep around the house. It is full of low cost and less toxic recipes to be used for cleaning and main-taining the house, garage, yard, and workbench.

The objective of this workshop is to get more of these fl ipbooks into the hands of Lakes Region resi-dents and demonstrate some of these alternatives in an effort to reduce the amount of household haz-ardous waste that people bring into their home. The fl ipbooks will be distributed free to all participants. Space is limited for this event, so RSVP at djeffers@lakesrpc.org or by calling 279-8171.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My husband, “Kevin,” and I have been to-gether for nine years. Every summer, Kevin used to go to the beach for a week’s vacation with a family he was close to. The entire group numbered about 15 people. Three years ago, Kevin told me he wanted to start taking vacations with them again. I was not invited. Kevin said there wasn’t enough room, and he’d have to sleep on the fl oor, which wouldn’t work for his chronic back problems. This year, I insisted on being included, so he grudgingly asked if I could come, but it is a sore spot now. I have spoken to Kevin multiple times about my feelings of abandonment stemming from his preference to exclude me from these vaca-tions, and I never get a direct answer as to why he doesn’t want me to come. All he says is that he’s afraid I’ll somehow insult them. Annie, I had nothing against these people until my husband started ditching me to be with them. Worse, the 34-year-old daughter has come to our house twice and made herself right at home, taking food from the fridge and glasses from the cabinet. She’s had drug problems and recently was arrested for breaking and entering. This makes me uneasy, particularly since Kevin takes a lot of pre-scription medications. I get angry whenever I hear one of them talking about the next beach trip, and I start criticizing them to Kevin because I can’t seem to get through to him how this makes me feel. What can I do? -- Sad, Hurt and Confused Dear Sad: The fact that your husband wants to take his summer vacation without his wife and in the company of a drug abuser is suspicious and worrisome. Frankly, we think this environment is unhealthy for Kevin, and that’s why he doesn’t want you around. Stop criticizing this family and work on Kevin. He’s not being honest with you. Dear Annie: My 33-year-old daughter is expecting my fi rst

grandchild soon. Her friends are giving her a baby shower in two weeks. My son, who lives near his sister, has a “surprise” new wife who has not been invited. My daughter thinks it would be too stressful to meet her new sister-in-law for the fi rst time at her shower. I think all the female members of the family should be invited, even new ones. I will be fl ying in to attend the shower and want to visit my son and his new bride. This means he will wonder why I’m in town. I don’t want his new wife to feel slighted that she wasn’t invited to the shower. I realize I can’t tell my 33-year-old daughter what to do. I just don’t know whether to tell my son that we are coming. -- Don’t Like Secrets Dear Secrets: It is not a lie to tell your son that you are in town to meet his new wife, because that is part of your trip. However, if your daughter truly wanted to include her new sister-in-law at the shower, she could easily make her ac-quaintance within the next two weeks. She is being unkind, and this could lead to future problems. Please do your best to encourage her to invite her brother’s new wife. Dear Annie: This is in reply to “Trish,” who sent her guide-lines for dating. She said he or she must be employed, own his or her own car, and cannot live with his or her mother or sleep on his or her best friend’s couch. When I met my husband, he had no job, didn’t own a car and was sleeping on his best friend’s couch. Within a year, he joined the Marines and we were married. After serving in Vietnam, he came home and together we raised two sons. We have had the most wonderful 47 years. He’s the best husband and father I could imagine: loving, patient and car-ing. I’m so grateful that I was unaware of Trish’s guidelines and followed my heart -- Truly Blessed
