LACONIA — When the last city manager left she received more than $44,000 for the personal, vaca-tion and sick days she did not take but accrued during her tenure. When her successor leaves, he will not get a dime. The question is whether the example the City Council and Scott Myers have chosen to set will ultimately apply to other municipal employees.

The practice of attaching a cash values to accrued leave upon retirement or resignation is enshrined in the collective bargaining agreements negoti-ated between the city council and the four unions representing municipal employees — the Laconia Professional Firefighters, Laconia Patrolman’s Asso-ciation, State Employees Association and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employ-ees. These benefits are also incorporated in the city’s personnel rules in recognition of a practice that ensures that employees who are not represented by a union, especially salaried employees, and union members are treated equitably.

Although the rules governing police officers are somewhat distinct, employees receive 10 vacation days per year and an additional five days after a decade of service. Employees can accrue up to one-and-a-half times their allotted vacation days, which can be carried over from one year to the next and

LAUREL, Mont. (AP) — The scope of Exxon Mobil Corp.’s oil leak into the Yel-lowstone River could extend far beyond a 10-mile stretch of the famed waterway, the company acknowledged under political pressure Monday.

As the company intensified its cleanup of tens of thousands of gallons of spilled crude, Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing pledged to do “whatever is necessary” to find and mop up oil from the 12-inch pipeline that broke at the bottom of the river over the weekend.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Hugo Chavez’s surprise return from Cuba after cancer treatment was a classic maneuver for a president who excels at showman-ship. It’s also likely to give him a politi-cal boost as supporters rally around their ailing leader.

The 56-year-old president projected a strong, vibrant image as he stepped off a plane early Monday. Smiling, he hugged his vice president, broke into song and later raised a fist in triumph.

WENTWORTH, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire officials say a woman has died after she was apparently set on fire by a man who lived with her and they say he also burned himself.

Attorney General Michael A. Delaney said in a statement that 57-year-old Evelyn Spodnik of Wentworth died Friday at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Delaney said he anticipated charging 60-year-old Barry Win-ters with first-degree murder. Winters lived with the woman.

Delaney alleged that Winters poured gaso-line on Spodnik and lit the fuel and also burned himself. The attorney general said Winters had not been arrested yet because he was in critical condition at a Boston hospital.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Chestnut scarfed down 62 hot dogs to win his fifth consecutive Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island — the equivalent of about 20,000 calories in 10 minutes.

It wasn’t a personal best for the 27-year-

Crews mopping up oil on famed Montana trout streamThe company earlier downplayed asser-

tions from state and federal officials that damage from the spill was spread over dozens of miles. That drew sharp criticism from Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who planned to tour the damaged areas Tuesday.

Company officials said their statements were misconstrued, and Pruessing pledged that crews would begin walking the Yellow-stone shoreline as soon as the flooding river recedes to look for pooled oil along the banks.

“We’re not limiting the scope of our cleanup to the immediate site,” Pruessing said at a

news conference along the river near Laurel, as crews mopped up oil in the background. “We are not trying to suggest in any way that that’s the limit of exposure.”

Underscoring rising anger over the spill among some riverfront property owners, Pruessing was confronted after his news conference by a goat farmer and environ-mental activist who said his partner was sickened by oil fumes and had to be taken to the emergency room.

“I need to know what we’ve been exposed see YELLOWSTONE page 14

Hugo Chavez’s future uncertain after return from cancer surgery in Cuba“It’s the beginning of my return!” he

declared.Hours later, he rallied thousands of sup-

porters from a balcony of the presidential palace, telling them: “We will also win this battle for life.”

Wearing fatigues and the red beret of his army days, Chavez revealed that he had been in intensive care in Cuba and held up a crucifix. “Christ is with us,” he said.

The crowd chanted: “Oh, no! Chavez won’t go!”

Despite the confident image, doubts about his future re-emerged as he sug-gested that he still isn’t ready for a full comeback.

He told state television by telephone that he doesn’t expect to attend celebrations Tuesday marking the 200th anniversary of Venezuela’s independence from Spain. Nor-mally, Chavez would be front and center at the patriotic event, which includes a mili-tary parade.

“I feel great!” he said after the contest,

adding that he was going to drink a lot of water and avoid hot dogs for a few days.

Chestnut started at a blistering pace but couldn’t beat his own record of 68 “because I kept messing up,” he said, pausing for

CONCORD (AP) — More than 1,500 married, New Hampshire gay couples could be placed into a classifi cation all their own if lawmakers succeed next year in repealing the state’s two-year-old law legalizing same-sex unions.

Legislation to repeal gay marriage is one of the highly charged issues left over from the just-com-pleted legislative session that must be acted on early next year. The two proposed repeal bills would not affect gay marriages before repeal, but would stop new same-sex marriages.

Other high-profi le issues coming back include a constitutional amendment to shift control of state school aid from the courts to the Legislature. Law-makers also must realign political districts in keep-ing with census changes. The Senate also held onto a bill aimed at blocking the proposed Northern Pass transmission project.

Republican state Rep. David Bates, sponsor of one of two gay marriage repeal bills, wonders if New Hampshire had not put off its vote and repealed its law, New York Republicans who voted to legal-ize same-sex unions this month would have instead voted against it.

“The effect of us turning back (our) law may have given the Republicans who abandoned their party position in New York pause,” Bates said one email he received indicated.

CONCORD (AP) — A bill that allows title loan lenders to charge interest rates of up to 25 percent a month has reached New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch’s desk.

Lynch has until midnight Wednesday to act on the till that changes the interest rate from 36 percent

CONCORD (AP) — It’s William Whipple’s turn to be recognized.

The New Hampshire merchant is one of the lesser-known signers of the Declaration of Independence. This year, there are plans for Whipple and 11 others to be honored for their place in history with a small bronze plaque at their gravesites or homes, thanks to a group of descendants of the Founding Fathers.

Whipple, one of three men from New Hampshire who signed the famous document — the others were Josiah Bartlett and Matthew Thornton — had no direct descendants. His only child, a boy, died as an infant and is buried near him at the Old North Cem-etery in Portsmouth. Whipple, who also commanded troops during the Revolutionary War and served as a state judge and legislator, died in 1785 at age 55.

It’s about time he was honored, said Blaine Whip-ple in Portland, Ore., a distant relative who has researched and published several volumes on 15 generations of the Whipple family in America.

“He was one of the workhorses of the Continen-tal Congress,” Whipple said. “He’s never been given the credits that he earned.” Whipple was chairman of the marine, foreign relations and quartermaster

Gay marriage repeal among leftovers facing Legislature in January

Bates is confi dent a repeal bill will reach Democratic Gov. John Lynch, but he isn’t sure supporters have the votes in the House to overturn Lynch’s prom-ised veto. If that hap-pens, he will consider bringing the repeal bill back in the future when a governor who supports it is in offi ce, he said.

Neither bill would change the status of gay couples who are mar-ried. Bates said he also supports reinstating civil unions.

New Hampshire enacted civil unions in 2007 and two years later replaced it with the marriage law. Since the marriage law took effect in January 2010, 1,529 gay couples have wed or had their civil unions converted into marriages, according to the state division of vital statistics.

Mo Baxley, executive director of New Hamp-shire Freedom to Marry, believes lawmakers don’t have the votes to overturn a gubernato-rial veto.

Lynch facing bill to allow lenders to charge up to 25% per month for ‘title’ loansper year to the 25 percent monthly maximum.

The bill reduces from 11 to 10 the number of addi-tional periods the loan may be renewed and increases from 5 percent to 10 percent of the principal balance what a borrower must pay to renew the loan.

Never too late: Declaration signers being honoredcommittees and served on another committee that gathered intelligence on the British, he said.

Whipple’s gravesite mentions he was a member of the Continental Congress when America declared its freedom from Great Britain, but doesn’t spell out his famous moment in time. The 104-year-old Soci-ety of the Descendants of the Declaration of Inde-pendence wants to change that for Whipple and the other signers, “to honor their memory and their great deed.”

“We try to do as many as we can, but it’s a long process,” said Grace Staller of West Chester, Pa., who heads the project for the nonprofi t group. She’s a ninth-generation descendant of signer John Hart from New Jersey, whose plaque is at the Old Baptist Meeting House in Hopewell.

The Portsmouth City Council recently approved the request. The city owns the cemetery.

Other plaque recipients — some better known than others — this year are John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine, Massachu-setts; Charles Carroll, Maryland; Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Nelson, Virginia; Thomas Lynch and

Wisconsin on the ThamesLONDON — Big Labor looks the

same wherever you go: petulant, irrational and wholly aggrieved beyond its means. I’m here on vaca-tion with family as some 750,000 public-sector employees strike in protest over modest pension reform proposals. It’s a taste of Wisconsin on the Thames.

U.K. government teachers are just as shameless and entitlement-mon-gering as their American counter-parts. More than half of England’s schools shut down on Thursday as union members took to the streets.

Borrowing a trademark tactic employed by Democrats Against Fiscal Responsibility from Madi-son and Milwaukee, Wis., to Wash-ington, D.C., British educators used their students and children as kiddie human shields. “HANDS OFF ME MA’S PENSION” read a doe-eyed little girl’s sign in Liver-pool. The militant National Union of Teachers plastered their placards with infant-sized, pastel-colored handprints.

Simon Shaw, a teachers’ union rep in Woodford Green, complained to his local newspaper: “The gov-ernment is stealing our money, and working till 65 or 68 is not realistic. How do teachers relate to children or have the energy for them at that age?” Asra Haque, a union protester and teacher in Kingsburgy, piled on: “What the government is doing makes us feel like we are part of a dictatorship.”

On Twitter, a socialist activist proclaimed “solidarity” between strikers in London and democracy marchers in Egypt. The supposedly fascist measures at issue involve an average hike in teachers’ pension contributions of about 3-percent and, in keeping with demographic reality, a gentle nudge in the retire-ment age to 68 by 2020.

Striking teachers waved banners crying for “FAIR PENSIONS FOR ALL,” but as Treasury statistics released in England revealed this week, public-union workers rake in the most generous pensions of all. A “mid-ranking teacher on 32,000-pounds a year will receive a final salary pension that is the equiva-lent of having built up a 500,000-pound pension pot.

This is 20 times higher than the average private sector scheme,

according to figures from the Office for National Statistics,” the U.K. Telegraph reported. “Private sector workers would have to save more than 20-percent of their salaries for 40 years — more than 500-pounds a month for a similarly paid person — to amass the same amount in a defined contribution pension.” And each and every British family “faces a total bill of 13,500-pounds” for the striking teachers’ pensions.

Defined benefits plans are increas-ingly an anachronism in the modern workplace, but Big Labor obsti-nately refuses to get with the times. More sobering for the children for whom the teachers’ unions purport to speak, the U.K. faces a future that is “old and broke.” An analysis by the pro-free-market think tank Reform released here this week shows that Britain faces a demographic “time-bomb” of an estimated 1.4-million seniors over 65 in the next five years — adding a tax burden of 32-billion pounds for pensions and nearly 40-billion pounds for health care by 2041 (not adjusted for inflation).

The report’s authors make con-clusions that sound eerily famil-iar to entitlement-reformers across the pond: “The biggest challenge in encouraging action is that people think that dealing with the prob-lem can be put off. Often population aging is seen as a problem for 2040 or 2050, which is well beyond the atten-tion span of many policy makers and media commentators. But the fiscal effects will be felt much earlier than that. The case for moving quickly is also not just a fiscal one. Any changes will create a group of people who lose out in the transition. Putting off reform will increase the costs of change and make the group of transi-tional losers larger.”

Left-wing teachers around the world spend many hours lecturing their students about the need for a “sustainable environment.” Too bad they don’t practice what they teach when it comes to their own unsus-tainable demands.

LETTERSI can’t think of anything more American that expressing our opinions

To the editor,Scott Cracraft tells an interest-

ing story about his friendship with Col. Webber, which seems to have distorted Scott’s attitude about the school board. That also tells us a lot about WHY Webber wants to be a mil-itary “expert”, which only describes incompetence!

Webber seems to have the typical

military attitude: “I’m perfect, and you don’t dare disagree”. But, unfortunately for military Webber, we all know that the military is almost always wrong, and unwilling to accept that.

Scott described a perfect example of why the whole school board MUST be replaced. Let’s do that as soon as possible!

Jack StephensonGilford

The military is almost always wrong and unwilling to accept it

Write: news@laconiadailysun.com

To the editor,I am a bit late responding to this.

In his letter of May 30, Edward Law-rence Chase called me an “America-Hater” and wrote that if “’E’ wants to move to Communist China or Cuba, and is willing to renounce his U.S. citi-zenship (assuming that he has such), I will give him fair market value for his N.H. home and buy him a one-way plane ticket.”

I will ease your mind, Mr. Chase. Yes, I am an American citizen. In fact, I am a “native born” American citizen who could conceivably run for president (want to see my birth cer-tificate?) if I wanted to (I don’t want to). My parents were native-born Americans. All my grandparents and great-grandparents were born in this country and so were my ancestors as far back as anyone can remember.

I was born on a military base in the United States where my father was serving his country in our armed forces, something I would also choose to do 19 years later. When, where, and in what branch did you serve Mr. Chase? You need not worry about my origins or my love for my country.

Concerning your offer to buy our home, Mr. Chase, I really appreciate it. It is certainly a generous offer in a slow housing market. We have talked about selling. I must admit, however, that I cannot meet all your conditions at this time. Is your offer good until after the 2012 election?

Perhaps if the American people go so far as to elect Sarah Palin presi-dent, I just MIGHT consider leaving my country. But, that is a very big

“might.” I guess Mr. Chase will have to work hard to get Ms. Palin elected if he wants even the slightest chance of getting rid of me and buying our house! My guess is that the American people, on a whole, have a lot more sense than that.

But, even if Ms. Palin, Michelle Bachman, or another Tea Party extremist were elected, I am still not sure I want to leave. After all, this is MY country too. I would love to visit Cuba (currently, I am prohibited from visiting that country under most cir-cumstances) and maybe China some-day but I am not sure I want to live in those countries. I am, after all, by birth, choice, and culture, an Ameri-can, not Chinese or Cuban. I chose to live, work, pay taxes, vote, and yes, write letters to editors here in New Hampshire. The U.S.A. is my country and I have chosen New Hampshire as my state.

My right to do so is guaranteed in the Constitution’s “Privileges and Immunities Clause,” the First Amend-ment, the Fourteenth Amendment, and in other provisions (I recommend you read the document sometime, Mr. Chase — it’s a short but good read). But more than that, New Hamp-shire’s Lakes Region is a lovely area and I like the people here. It is a place where writers to the Sun (including you, Mr. Chase) feel free to express their opinions. I cannot think of any-thing more “American” than that! In spite what you think, Mr. Chase, I am as “American” as you.

Let’s rethink policy that permits using sewage sludge to grow foodTo the editor,

In response to Gail Ober’s article in the July 2 issue, Belmont drinking water samples did not contain chloro-form — historically used as an anes-thetic — but coliform bacteria. Total coliform bacteria may indicate the presence of fecal coliforms; these in turn, may include a sub-group, E.coli. The detection of high numbers of fecal coliforms or E.coli bacteria may lead to a drinking water advisory. DES tests found no fecal coliforms or E.coli in Belmont’s water.

The two most dangerous E.coli strains that can cause death and

life threatening illnesses, are E.coli 0157:H7, primarily found in the guts and manure of grain-fed ruminants and E.coli 0104:H4 found only in the guts and feces of human beings.

The world’s worst food poisoning outbreak, so far, killed 50, severely incapacitated 800, and sickened 4000. Concentrated in northwestern Ger-many, with sporadic cases showing up in other countries, this outbreak was caused by the consumption of bean sprouts contaminated with E.coli 0104:H4 .

LETTERSRead ‘Change Agent’s Guide’ for understanding of Sandy on education

re-think the current state and federal policy that permits using contami-nated human waste (sewage sludge) and sludge compost to grow produce and animal feed?

from preceding page

To the editor,Professor Leo R. Sandy’s column

appears to come straight from Ronald G. Havelock’s “ The Change Agent’s Guide to Innovation in Education”. It was published in 1973 by Education Technology Publishing. This guide gives case studies in how to sneak in controversial curricula and teach-ing strategies and get them approved by uninformed school boards. It has been called the educators manual for changing children’s values — espe-cially Christian, moral and patriotic leanings.

Professor Sandy uses the term “facilitators”. I have seen this term used as a replacement for “Change Agent”. He says “There is input from students, staff and administration”. Where are the parents? Of course the input from students will be corrected by facilitators (change agents) if they stray from the party line. Change Agents use behavior modification on those who don’t fall in line with the propaganda. If the student might dis-agree he/she may be made to feel as a dissenter, even if the consensus feels the same. A common practice in many schools already. This practice to leads to a mob-like mentality and sacrifices

the ethics of the individual.As far as “constructivism” is con-

cerned, all I could find is that it is a “Russian Art Movement” founded in the 1920s. Not sure what the good professor is referring to.

There will be a court to handle “student infractions”. What are those infractions? Might it be to modify the students behavior away from our Founding Principles? Decorating the walls with “foreign flags” gives the appearance of leading the students away from their own country and into a communist dream. Much like Sta-lin’s “Dream Machine”, the United Nations place of worship in New York City.

Professor Sandy’s school sounds very much like a “Socialist Mill” where children are manipulated and coerced by behavior modification and used as pawns for the communist movement. Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifest” covers much the professor’s dream school. Since he claims that “liberal-ism is too conservative for me” I can only wonder if he might be a hard-core Marxist. The ball is in your court pro-fessor. Just wondering.

To the editor,“It is not a time to trifle.” — Thomas Paine, 1776“We want great men who, when for-

tune frowns, will not be discouraged.” — Col. Henry Knox, 1776“My hope is that we have not labored

in vain, and that our experiment will still prove that men can be governed by reason.”

— Thomas Jefferson, 1791“Those who expect the blessings of

freedom must, like men, undergo th fatigue of supporting it.”

sense of duty.” — John Adams“Sir, what have you given us?”“A Republic ma’am, if you can keep it.” — Benjamin Franklin’s response to

a woman upon leaving the Constitu-tional Convention.

All of the quotes should speak to us and have meaning for our time. We, too, have responsibilities to our coun-try. The quotes challenge us to act like the founders — to have their courage, their commitment, their optimism, their staying power, to emulate their vision and believe, like them, that we can shape our future. Our job is to keep and build on their principles and their

A patriot is not just a soldier, it’s someone who builds a better Americaachievements, to act and not to whine.

Remembering what our founders did can help us heal our divisions, live our ideals, enlarge our vision, discipline our appetites and sacrifice for posterity. We need to realize that we are all their heirs and that we neglect the responsi-bilities of free men if we expect someone else to do our duty as citizens.

The founders gave us a great begin-ning and would ask us, if they could: what did you do with what we left you? I believe they would tell us that a patriot is not just the soldier or one who pays his taxes, or voices his love of country. A patriot is someone who builds a better America. They would say: honor us by surpassing us.

God bless America on its birthday.Christopher BurbankMoultonborough

To the editor,I am writing to ask the good citizens

of the Lakes Region to join me in a WOW Trail clean up on Sunday, July 10 at 9 a.m., starting at the Lakeport end of the trail. Although the WOW Trial itself has been well maintained and trash free, the adjoining train tracks are riddled with trash, to include approximately 10 abandoned car tires. This is an eyesore to users of the WOW Trail.

I expect the clean up to require about 20 man-hours of work, so I am asking for help from the community. The city has kindly agreed to assist this project by removing the trash that is collected. Please bring gloves to protect your hands. Since motor vehicles are prohib-ited on the WOW Trail and railway, if a few people can bring a wheel barrow, it will make the job easier.

LETTERSLet’s bring every single one of our troops home from Afghanistan, nowTo the editor,

This is part 1 of a commentary on Afghanistan.

“The war in Afghanistan is bizarre” said a buddy of mine in my favorite Meredith eating house. My buddy the plumber said “ I believe it is contrary to our best interests to be in Afghani-stan any longer. The mission was to take out al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and the U.S. Special Opera-tions Seals Team did just that. “My Marine retired colonial said, “It is the War Without End, which is 10 years old and the longest war in our history. We did the surge thing and we now have 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. We also took out Sheik Saeed al-Masri third ranking operative in a drone strike as well as Ilyas Kashmire, a Pakistani veteran of the Soviet-afghan war. He wanted to knock off a Danish newspaper editor that pub-lished a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad.”

“Alright” I said, “So Bush and Cheney diverted our attention and our money to Iraq. Now what do we do?” They all agreed , let’s declare vic-tory, pick up our marbles and go home. No gradual withdrawal, because it is too dangerous to troops left behind, rather conduct a total all at once swift, accelerated withdrawal.

Afghan troops have a widespread ani-mosity toward American soldiers and have killed at least 57 coalition troops since 2007. “Afghan troops... hold pro-foundly negative views of their Ameri-can partners.” (NYT, June 17, 2011, p. A8). President Obama’s gradual with-drawal of 3,000 to 5,000 troops is unwise and a political ploy. He is playing with American lives. Pull all our troops out rapidly. No slow paced drawdown. No more Obama deliberations or partici-pation in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Obama campaigned in 2008 with the promise to end the “wrong war in Iraq and focus on the “right war” in Afghani-stan were the al Qaeda were based as it allegedly planned the Sept.11, 2001 attacks.

My gardener buddy interjected, “Let’s spend time consolidating at home, rebuilding our infrastructure, paying down our debt, getting people employed, repairing the economy, in short — rebuilding our country. Yeah, I thought, we have got to take care of our-selves before we can take care of others.

The plumber added, “We don’t have a callous lack of empathy we lack money and wish to end promiscuous spending.” The gardener pointed out, “there should be no expensive large mercenary troops under U.S. contract left behind either. There has been enough fraud and corruption.”

“Heck we are meeting with fugitive Taliban leader, Mullah Muhammad

Omar in exploratory peace talks” said the colonel.

It was reported that Karzai lashed out at the Americas by saying “They’re here for their own purposes, for their own goals, and they’re using our soil for that.” Well if Karzai and the rest of the Afghans don’t want us, what are we doing there “nation building” and spilling blood?

I agreed with them all, I have been all over Afghanistan — north, south, east and west. In Herat — the great Oasis in western Afghanistan, on the ancient silk road where caravans car-ried bolts of high quality silk and por-celain from China to the Middle East — the wild looking tribesmen rode their little mongol horses, and wore great lambskin coats, long knives, and leather boots with narrow pointed curled toes. Baths were not as import as self reliance and survival. Sophis-ticated etiquette for women was immoral. I was first there in the late 60s, when the Russians were building the only paved road from the north to Kabul. The USA was building an East-West Road. My Russian asso-ciate said, “We will invade from the north.” and the U.S. Embassy crowd said, we can come in from Iran or Pak-istan. And with a base in Afghanistan, we can go the other way and invade Iran, taking out their nuclear facili-ties or become a threat to Pakistan and their nuclear arsenal.”

I drove down the Khyber pass route from Kabul to beautiful Peshawar recalling how the British occupiers lost nearly 20,000 on their retreat from Kabul. The Persians under Darius (6 century B.C) and the armies of Alexan-der the great (326 BC) marched through the 33 mile rugged pass and later the Muslim armies passed through in 997 and under the command of Subkta-gin and his son Mahmud of Ghaznawi between 1001-1030. Ghenghis Khan also made the trek As did Amir Timur and Mughal armies.

The British fought three wars in Afghanistan. There are 48 NATO and allied countries with forces in Afghan-istan. Knowing this, Afghan president Karzi verbally attacks the NATO-led military coalition. Gen. David H. Petraeus, has had to humiliate himself and apologize to Mr. Karzi for civilian causalities. Mr. Karzai has threatened to join the Taliban, whom he calls his brothers. With this attitude we should have no more adventurist polities in the Middle East.

I am wary of unleashing our armed forces on any further targets in this region without due cause. No more military intervention. Let us bring our troop home now.

LETTERSNew England town meetings allow the few to rule the timid majorityTo the editor,

The letters to editor lately indicate that I am not alone in saying town meetings in N.H. are like being on the TV show — one vs. the mob. A letter on June 23, written by Barbara Aich-inger, was a prefect explanation of the public vs. the private sector. A edito-rial today (June 30 - “Fat public pay”) in The Union Leader will back up her letter. I hope that one or more of the elected officials in Hill, N.H. had a chance to read the article and remem-ber where they have heard that before.

On June 28th Cindy Houghton of Gilmanton wrote a good letter on how she feels treated when speaking out at public meetings.The treatment she feels is the same throughout N.H., especially in smaller towns where elected officials prepare inflated bud-gets of which some of them benefit directly. This, plus their other family members and friends, and when a person stands to make a point, all kinds of funny noises, whispers etc. can be heard. This year in Hill, we had 95 out of 748 registered voters show up and try as I might, everything went as planned for the chosen few. One of my concerns was a full-time paid librarian with 32 hours paid by town taxes — open 9 to 5 Tuesday to Friday to the public and on Monday

open 9 to 5 for school children, paid with grant money in school budget. In 2010. there was a budget of $21,000 dollars and nearly $20,000 was used to pay a librarian, plus taxes. While I was trying to make sense of it, the moderator cut me off and library trustees gave me a short answer to a host of concerns. I got information from state librarian, compared the Hill Library to all others in the state and concluded that it is the most expensive library in New Hampshire. (Hill has a population of 1086).

It is my belief that SB-2 should be mandated by the state of NH, as the cost of owning a home is out of reach for most — assessed for far more than its worth. The town of Hill has more than it’s share of empty homes. I think a letter to the governor may help. Taxpayers are being taxed with no representation, they just quit going to meetings because they’re frowned on for speaking up.

In closing, the Community Action Program assisted Hill families with $136,000. Sixty-six families qualified for over $900 in fuel assistance. I hope state elected officials will try to help all small towns in a situation where a few rule the timid majority.

Fed will come under pressure to find way to create jobs in election yearTo the editor,

Global monetary policy remains accommodative. There is a perception among economists that a normaliza-tion cycle has now begun. That said the Federal Reserve is unlikely to boost its benchmark rate until the second half of 2012. It will be an elec-tion year after all.

The Fed chairman has begun to warn more explicitly about the dangers of rising inflation. Federal Reserve offi-cials want to see more improvement in the unemployment rate before they consider a rate increase. They will also want to see how the economy performs without the high levels of monetary stimulus. If the jobless rate remains above 8-percent in 2012, and it will, the Fed will come under pres-sure to find ways to create jobs. It will be an election year after all.

The forecast for the global economy as a whole assumes that industrial production in emerging markets levels off after the gyrations of the last three years. Growth in the non-Orga-nization for Economic Cooperation and Development will slow in 2011 as the impact of fiscal stimulus and the inventory cycle fades.

Growth there will remain strong at about 6.5-percent at purchasing power parity rates. This will help countries such as Germany and Japan, which depend on rising export penetration into the emerging world to drive growth. It will also help highly indebted economies such as the U.S. and the U.K., where raising export growth is vital to help offset the weak-ness of domestic demand.

Still, for a president who knows how to command attention, his surprise return was signature Chavez and sent a powerful message that he remains in control. During nearly a month in Cuba, uncertainty has swirled in Ven-ezuela, both about how sick he is and what would happen if cancer were to force him from power.

The long-term political impacts of fighting cancer for a leader who thrives on the spotlight remain unclear. But Chavez will likely play up his plight to rally his movement as he looks ahead to 2012 elections, in which his allies say they are convinced he will still be their candidate.

“Convenient, affordable and reliable transportation for

all your travel needs.”

Chavez’s health abound. He has said he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, and his for-eign minister said it was extracted from the same part of the “pelvic region” where Chavez had an abscess removed in Cuba on June 11. Chavez hasn’t said what type of cancer is involved nor whether he is receiving chemotherapy, radiation or another treatment.

Based on Chavez’s account, medical experts said it’s most likely he has colorectal cancer, but Chavez has not confirmed that.

“Beloved Venezuelan people, I’m sure you understand perfectly the difficulties of this battle,” Chavez told the crowd at the palace. “No one should believe that my pres-ence here... means that we’ve won the battle.”

“No, we’ve begun to climb the hill. We’ve begun to beat the illness that was incubated inside my body,” said Chavez, who appeared tired at times but spoke forcefully.

Chavez told the crowd he has been rising at 5 a.m.,

exercising and eating healthy foods such as yogurt. He also noted that his doctors have told him to limit the length of his public addresses to 30 minutes — perhaps one of the most difficult recommendations for the talkative leader to commit to.

“I shouldn’t be here for too long,” Chavez said. “I’m subject to strict medical and scientific controls. You all know the reasons.”

Yet, shortly after the speech, he reappeared in suit-and-tie on television greeting foreign dignitaries.

Many Chavez supporters were thrilled just to have him back, and hundreds celebrated in the Plaza Bolivar in downtown Caracas, holding pic-tures of the president and chanting “Viva Chavez!” and “He’s back!”

The capital city was festooned with freshly painted murals bearing his face and those of the country’s 19th-century independence heroes. Yellow, blue and red Venezuelan flags were everywhere downtown, fluttering from lamp posts and over doorways under sunny skies.

MANCHESTER —After helping to lead an effort to prevent the Senate from adjourning for its tra-ditional July 4 recess, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) announced today that her town hall meeting scheduled for July 7 in Tilton has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date. With the country scheduled to reach its statutorily-set debt limit as early as August, Senator Ayotte said she believes it would be irresponsible for the Senate to take a recess at this time.

“I worked to cancel the Senate’s traditional July 4 recess because the fiscal challenges facing our coun-try require immediate action,” said Senator Ayotte,

Ayotte cancels town hall meeting planned for Tiltona member of the Senate Budget Committee. “While I look forward to meeting directly with Belknap County-area residents in a future town hall meeting, it’s critical that the president and Congress work together now to pass significant spending reduc-tions and budget reforms. New Hampshire residents expect their elected officials to roll up their sleeves and do the hard work of making sure that we get our country back on a fiscally responsible path, and I am determined to get this done.”

Senator Ayotte’s office is working to reschedule the Belknap County town hall meeting and will notify constituents of the new date as soon as possible.

LACONIA — Police on Sunday reported two untimely deaths where drug overdose was the likely cause. In both cases — one involving a 33-year-old man and the second a 53-year-old woman — author-ities suspect that patches containing the powerful synthetic narcotic Fenthynal were orally ingested.

Laconia police report 2 more likely drug overdose deathsFenthynal is a pain killer that is said to be 100

times more potent than morphine.Police did not release the name or date of death

of either of the man or woman, saying only that the deaths occurred within a week of one another.

Doherty is alleged to have struck Derek DiMar-tino, 30, in the head outside the Baja Beach Club (China Bistro Restaurant) about 1 a.m. Police report that DiMartino suffered a severe laceration to the right side of his neck, a severe laceration to his right ear lobe, lacerations to his forehead and nose and a possible injury to his right eye.

According to a police report, Sergeant Corey O’Connor, assisted by Sergeant Mike Finogle of the

Laconia Police Department, responded to the report of an assault at the night club on Lake Street. Witnesses at the scene described the assailant as Doherty and he was then identified inside the club and was taken into protective custody for intoxication.

DiMartino was not at the club when police arrive but they later determined that he had been driven to Lakes Region General Hospital by friends. Police interviewed him at that location before placing Doherty under arrest for assault.

Mary Wadsworth, 90, and Mildred Walton, 94, rode in a golf cart driven by Cathy Stafford in the annual Windmill Shores Community Asso-ciation July 4th parade. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

LACONIA — What started out as a small spin by around the neighborhood by a bunch of children on their decorated bicycles to celebrate the Fourth of July has become an major holiday event for the Windmill Shores Community Association.

Windmill Shores is a neighborhood located between Old North Main Street and Lake Opechee.

“It was about six or seven years ago. The kids wanted to do something special on the holiday so we told them just go ahead and have a parade . . . and it’s got bigger ever since. We’ve even had a pri-vately-owned fire truck and a police cruiser leading the parade with flashing blue lights,’’ said Buddy Daigneault, who helped carry the WSCA banner in Monday’s parade.

“There were only five or 10 kids to start with. Now everyone in the neighborhood looks forward to it,’’ he said.

There was no police cruiser yesterday, but there was something new this year as two of the Morning-side Drive area residents who are in their 90s rode on the “Honored Guests’’ float, a decorated golf cart which featured American flags and red, white and blue bunting.

Mary Wadsworth, 90, who has been a resident of the neighborhood for 55 years, rode on the float, which was piloted by Cathy Stafford, along with Mildred Walton, 94, a neighborhood resident for 20 years.

Both were having a great time as the golf cart pulled into the line of march, directly behind a cos-tumed Uncle Sam, riding on a lawn mower. Leading the parade as usual were Alan and Betty Gauthier in the Grand Marshall’s car, a red MG.

There were dozens of bikes decorated by neighbor-hood children taking part in the parade, along with

Laconia neighborhood continues to build on tradition of holding its own 4th of July parade

with many pedal cars. Bringing up the rear were a dozen or so lawn trac-tors, known by their riders as “mean machines’’ and which had been rele-gated to the end of the parade so that their engine noise wouldn’t compete with the marching music emanating from the Grand Marshall’s car.

“This is a big event, When my son John was only four he thought it was the coolest thing there was,’’ said David Wadsworth of New York City, who was visiting with his mother, Mary, for the holiday.

“We come up whenever we can during the summer and this year Tamara and I brought guests from France, Switzerland and Russia with us. As a matter of fact, they’re riding bikes with American fl ags on them in the parade,’’ said Wadsworth.

After the parade Olivier Soulet of France, Julia Grishina of Switzerland and Alexei Smirnov and Nicole Zelyez of Russia said that they enjoyed it and would like to take part in it again.

“I guess you could say that the parade has become an international drawing card,’’ said Wadsworth.

cashed in when their employment ends. For example, an employee of 15 years could accumulate 22.5 vacation days.

Employees earn one sick day a month or 12 a year and may accu-mulate up to 90 sick days. Moreover, employees earn one personal day for each three consecutive months they work without taking sick time and may earn additional personal days based on their balance of sick days as of July 1 each year.

Recently the departure and retire-ments of four senior employees with many years of service cost the city more than $180,000 in payments for accrued vacation, sick and personal days. The amount represents more than half the increase in the amount to be raised by property taxes in the proposed 2011-2012 city budget.

Likewise, retiring Finance Direc-tor Pam Reynolds projected that pay-outs to employees eligible to retire during the next fi ve years could total $877,000, which represents 90-per-cent of the budget increase proposed for coming fi scal year.

The budget includes $100,000 to establish a capital reserve fund for so-called “uncompensated absences” to defray these anticipated costs. Since this time has been legitimately accrued, it cannot be retrospectively devalued.

Meanwhile, several councilors have begun to question the practice of mon-etizing accrued benefi ts. Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) said that since the city does not provide disability

insurance, employees should be enti-tled to accumulate sick days against the risk of extended disability or pro-longed illness. But, he insists they should not be paid for that time when they retire. Employees in the private sector, who fi nd themselves unable to work for long periods, he noted, usu-ally lose their jobs, especially because so few employers in the area have payrolls large enough to qualify their workers for the protections of the fed-eral Family and Medical Leave Act.

Lahey likened the payouts to paying employees twice for the same time and stressed that because pensions are based on the three years when employees post their highest earn-ings, the payouts add to the cost of employee pensions and employer contributions. to the New Hampshire Retirement System.

“I agree a hundred percent,” said Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4), “but how we go about changing the system is kind of tricky. We don’t know how to get there.”

With the appointment of Myers as city manager, the council sent a signal. His contract provides for 20 days of annual leave for vacation, sickness, bereavement or other per-sonal reasons. Up to 10 days can be carried over into the following year, but must be used within the fi rst six months or forfeited.

“By taking the lead,” Baer said, “I think Scott has set the bar. You have to set an example and you have to start from the top.”

BELMONT — “If we don’t eat them, they will die.’’That’s what Glenn and Maggie Crawford say

about the heritage animal breeds and heirloom vegetables that they raise at Maggie Mae Farm on Bishop Road.

The Crawfords have for several years been raising ancient breeds and heirloom varieties that are no longer valued parts of an industrialized agriculture system that provides virtually all of the nation’s food and say that they are part of a growing awareness that something very valuable is being lost because of that system.

“We care about food, how it tastes and where and how it is grown. We don’t use chemicals, our only fertilizer is manure from the animals and we try to match what we raise with the natural ability of the land to support it. Everything we raise is consumed within a 30-mile radius of our farm,’’ says Glenn.

He says that their 18-acre farm is home to animals like pigs, sheep and chickens that can fend for them-

‘Heritage’ and ‘heirloom’ are words to live by at Belmont’s Maggie Mae Farm

selves in a free range environment and are suited to the rigors of a New Hampshire winter. They grow some 29 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, four vari-eties of heritage potatoes, blue podded sweet peas along with lettuce, chard, spinach carrots, beets and dozens more vegetables and herbs.

They are strong supporters of the Slow Food move-ment and its Ark of Taste, which lists more than 200 American heritage foods in danger of extinction.

Those endangered breeds are well-represented

the farm by the likes of “Dally”, a 450-pound Gloucestershire Old Spot, who is the farm’s breeding sow; “Captain Thomas”, a Narragansett turkey who presides over a fl ock of seven hens and their offspring; New Hampshire Reds, which provide broilers as well as eggs; Chinchilla rabbits, raised for their meat, and Tunis and Black Welsh Mountain sheep, which provide both wool and meat.

A recent addition to the farm is “Okkoto”, a fi ve-month old Glouces-tershire Old Spot, who will be the farm’s breeder starting this fall.

“I try to stay very friendly with him. Some day he’s going to weight 800 pounds,’’ says Maggie, who says that Old Spots, once a very popular pig breed, now have only around 350 breed-ing sows left in the entire United States.

“They’re great foragers and grazers and can live off the land and agricul-tural byproducts,’’ she says, noting that the breed, often called the orchard pig for its usefulness in clearing windfall apples from orchards, produces copi-ous amounts of bacon and that the lard made from its fat is nutritious and fi nds many uses in cooking.

Narragansett Turkeys, another once-popular breed bypassed by industrial agriculture, are another heritage breed raised at the farm. The Crawfords say that they’re good forag-ers, fi nding grasshoppers, crickets and other insects much to their liking.

Recently while the Crawfords were mulching tomatoes, a parade of tur-keys, including two of the hens with all their babies, walked between the gardens and went through the hay-fi eld and into the woods.

“After a few minutes, Captain Thomas came down after them gob-bling and scolding, trying to gather his wayward fl ock back up the hill towards the barns. He was pretty insistent and Glenn intervened on Tom’s behalf, help-ing him herd the girls and their small ones back up to more familiar territory,’’ Maggie recalls.

Shortly after that they heard the gobble-gobble of a solitary wild male turkey, known as a jake, calling from the edge of a hayfi eld, making a bid to have a harem of his own.

“Needless to say, Thomas has been keeping a very watchful eye on his fl ock since he heard that competi-tor trying to seduce his girls!’’ says Maggie, who is now counting the tur-keys as she locks them in at night.

For the Crawfords, running the farm is a part-time operation because both

hold down full-time jobs, Glenn as head chef at Tavern 27, an American tapas bar on Parade Road in Laconia, and Maggie at Resource Management Inc in Holderness, a fi rm which recy-cles sludge, wood ash and other mate-rials as a soil supplement.

Maggie Mae Farm is owned by Glenn’s parents, Janice and A. Bruce Crawford II, who still live at the farm and want to see a second generation operate the farm.

“We’re fortunate. Land is expensive and the farm buildings would be very costly if you had to build them scratch today. There wouldn’t be any money left to buy farm equipment,’’ says Glenn, who says that he and his wife, like most modern day small farmers, face many challenges in balancing their busy lives.

“We used to own a boat, but sold it because when it’s boating season you have to be working the farm. The same with the motorcycle,’’ he says.

Maggie says they still have snow-mobiles, because winter is the one time of year when they do have time for recreation.

“It seems like the `to-do’ list just keeps getting longer every day. By the time you cross off a fi ve things at the top, you’ve added 10 to the bottom,’’ says Glenn.

The couple connect with their cus-tomers through a community sup-ported agriculture program (CSA), which runs for 18 weeks, and also hold monthly Field Days and occa-sional Crop Mob gatherings, at which people pitch in on special projects, like removing rocks from the gardens.

And they’re active with local schools, providing hatching eggs so that young children get to se the chickens hatch and watch them grow for a week or two.

Both of the Crawfords grew up on farms and want to see an important part of American life, the family farm, maintained for future generations.

Glenn says that they are greatly infl uenced by the ideas of Joel Salatin, a Virginia farmer who has developed an economically viable and environmen-tally friendly model for small farmers which provides for a diversity of crops and animals being raised by striking a balance with what the land can sustain through natural processes.

“We let chickens be chickens. It may take longer to get them to market size, but they’re good and tasty and very healthy. Our fi elds are better for having the animals roaming in them. It’s bal-ancing the whole farm, so that it’s self-sustaining for generations,’’ he says.

Walking along Main Street during Laconia’s July 4th parade, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney shakes hands with Kathie Brown of Laconia. Romney is generally considered to the frontrunner in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination and was in the Granite State on the holiday, of course, looking forward to next winter’s New Hampshire Primary.

GILFORD — A man suffered a broken jaw and facial lacerations when he fell out of Jeep traveling on Saltmarsh Pond Road on Saturday night just before 11 p.m. Michael Flack was transported to Lakes Region Genral Hospital in Laconia for treatment of what police described as non-incapacitating injuries.

According to a police report, Flack was a passen-ger in a 1993 Jeep being driven by Heresa Caldwell of Belmont when the accident occurred. Police say

Man falls out of Jeep traveling on Saltmarsh Pond Rd.it was determined that Caldwell was traveling at a low rate of speed and was not operating the vehicle inappropriately in any manner. A lack of doors on the Jeep and the fact that Flack was not wearing a seat belt were cited as factors contributing to the accident.

Jeffrey Caldwell, the owner of the vehicle, was also a passenger. Neither of the Caldwell’s suffered any injuries.

Bertoletti, of Chicago, won $5,000, and third-place contestant Tim Janus, of New York, won $2,500.

This year, for the first time, the annual contest in front of Nathan’s Famous fast-food stand was broken into two divisions, one for men and one for women.

Sonya Thomas, known as the “Black Widow” of competitive eating, won with 40 downed dogs, earn-ing her $10,000 and her own pink champion’s belt.

“I’m so happy!” said Thomas, of Alexandria, Va.She started out neck-and-neck with second-place

finisher Juliet Lee but later pulled ahead.“I looked over, and I said, ‘No way!’ But I have

to focus myself, because I cannot keep up with her now,” Thomas said. Instead, she preserved her big-gest jolt of energy for the winning end.

Lee, of Germantown, Md., ate 29½ wieners, and Stephanie Torres, of Las Cruces, N.M., downed 28½.

Both Thomas and Chestnut broke world records in 2009, he with 68 and she with 41.

Chestnut’s chief rival, Takeru Kobayashi, stayed away from the contest this year, staging a separate competition where he ate 69 dogs in 10 minutes — which would have been a world record.

of last year that was triggered by the Joint Belknap County Sheriff and U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force who had received information that Christo-pher M. Kelly,33, was staying at the house.

Affidavits and testimony at Morrill’s bail hearing on Sept. 16, 2010 in Laconia District Court indi-cated Morrill and Kelly had barricaded themselves in a bedroom after the female primary resident of the home had left voluntarily.

The woman’s 4-year-old daughter remained inside with Kelly and Morrill.

The Belknap County Special Operations Group accompanied by Belmont Police and agents from the U.S. Marshal Office surrounded the home and tried unsuccessfully for about six hours to get Kelly and Morrill to let the child leave and to surrender.

Police said around 3 a.m. three shots were fired from inside the home — one narrowly missing Laco-nia Police Sgt. Richard Simmons and the other two missing Belmont Police Officer Joel Pickowicz and Deputy Sheriff Lt. David Perkins.

Both Kelly and Morrill initially blamed each other for firing the shots but police said it was Kelly who surrendered around 6 a.m. by bringing the child, who he had wrapped in a blanket, outside the home.

With the child safe and Kelly in custody, police sent in a robot and later apprehended Morrill who the said was sleeping at the foot of her bed.

Sheriff ’s Det. William Robarge testified that he

recovered the Smith and Wesson 9mm, semi-auto-matic pistol and that it was within reach of Morrill as she lay on the bed. He said he took possession of the gun, which he said had one bullet in the cham-ber and a partially-loaded clip. The serial number had been filed off.

Robarge recovered three spent shell casings in the house.

Police affidavits allege Morrill admitted the gun was hers and that she had gotten it from a man she identified as “Jake.”

She allegedly said she what with “Jake” when he allegedly robbed a man at the Gilford Cinemas during an allegedly drug deal a few nights earlier. She said “Jake” had given her the gun as protection.

At a later probable cause hearing, Judge Timothy McKenna changed Morrill’s $50,000 cash-only bail to $50,000 cash or surety, meaning her family, mem-bers of which have appeared at all of her court hear-ings, would be able to collateralize her release.

McKenna ordered that should Morrill post bail she was to live with her mother and grandmother, seek treatment for alcohol and drug abuse and not possess any firearms.

McKenna also ordered that she submit to random drug and alcohol testing and obey and 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. curfew.

As of Monday night, no further information was available regarding Morrill’s most recent arrest.

to. People are sick now,” Mike Scott said. Scott’s part-ner, Alexis Bonogofsky, was diagnosed Monday with acute hydrocarbon exposure after she experienced dizziness, nausea and trouble breathing, he said.

Pruessing said air and water monitoring had not revealed any health risks. But he told Scott the com-pany would provide the public with more information.

The Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement Monday afternoon that officials were still taking air and water samples to determine the impacts.

Exxon Mobil has estimated that up to 1,000 bar-rels, or 42,000 gallons, of crude oil spilled Friday night before the flow from the damaged pipeline was stopped. The break near Laurel has fouled miles of riverbank, although high water has hobbled attempts to find where all the oil went.

EPA officials said they and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel conducted an aerial assessment of the Yellowstone from Laurel to 30 miles downstream of Billings, finding oil deposits along the river banks, in slow water and in small pools in backwaters at intermittent points.

Montana’s Disaster and Emergency Services Divi-sion was unable to give an update on the spill Monday.

The 20-year-old Silvertip pipeline delivered 40,000 barrels a day to a refinery in Billings along a route that passes beneath the river.

The line was temporarily shut down in May after

Laurel officials raised concerns that it could be at risk as the Yellowstone started to rise. And regula-tors twice in the last year warned Exxon Mobil of several safety violations along the line.

The company decided to restart the line after examining its safety record and deciding it was safe, Pruessing said.

The U.S. Department of Transportation, which oversees pipelines, notified Exxon Mobil in July 2010 of seven potential safety violations and other problems along the pipeline. Two of the warnings faulted the company for its emergency response and pipeline corrosion training.

Transportation Department spokeswoman Patri-cia Klinger said the company has since responded to the warnings and the case was closed.

The company also was cited for “probable viola-tions” in a February letter. Those included inad-equate pipeline markers in a housing development, a section of pipeline over a ditch covered with poten-tially damaging material and debris, vegetation in a housing area that covered a portion of line and pre-vented aerial inspections, and a line over a canal not properly protected against corrosion.

The company responded in a March letter that it had corrected all of the problems, most of them within a few weeks of being notified. Company spokesman Alan Jeffers said there was no direct connection between those problems and the pipeline failure.

Concentrating in Business and Family Matters

BOSTON (AP) — Travis Snider looked as if he forgot how to run the bases on his first hit and later didn’t realize everyone was waiting to talk to him after the game.

Everything must seem new when you’ve been in the minors for a couple of months.

Snider, recalled from Triple-A a day earlier, had three doubles and drove in a pair of runs, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 9-7 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday.

Aaron Hill homered and had an RBI single and Rajai Davis added two doubles for the Blue Jays, who had lost nine of 14.

Toronto scored a run in the first, two in the second and chased John Lackey (5-8) with four in the third.

Snider, who doubled in his first three at-bats, was sent down on April 29 after hitting just .184 in 25 games. It was the first one that had him smiling a few minutes after he realized the media was gath-ered to see him.

Blue Jays manager John Farrell felt Snider’s dedi-cation to improving his swing showed.

“You could see the work and commitment he made when he went down to Las Vegas,” Farrell said. “I think we’ve seen him get in a much better place to get to balls down over the plate.”

Brandon Morrow (5-4), allowed four runs on five hits, walking three and striking out five over five-

Red Sox watch rockets come off Jays’ bats on 4thplus innings on a sunny, humid afternoon. It was his third victory in four starts.

“I started getting worn out,” he said of Boston scor-ing four runs in the fifth after he breezed through the first four innings. “Threw a lot of pitches. I just started falling behind.”

The Blue Jays became the latest team to rough up Lackey, who was knocked out after allowing seven runs in 2 1-3 innings. He felt like he couldn’t throw the ball where he wanted most of the time.

“Overall, I thought my arm felt pretty good. Just didn’t locate well,” he said. “I would have fixed it if I had known. Some soft ones fell in on good pitches and made some bad pitches that got hit hard. It kind of all added up to that.”

Jacoby Ellsbury had a two-run triple and tied his career best with four hits for Boston, which had its four-game winning streak halted.

Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis left the game in the fourth after getting hit in the upper back. Red Sox manager Terry Francona said he was taken out as a precaution and will be looked at again Tuesday.

Boston rallied early and again late, cutting it to 9-7 with three runs in the eighth, but Frank Fran-cisco got three outs for his 10th save. He struck out Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez and Yamaico Navarro with a runner on second.

TILTON — As a result of the increasing inci-dents of drinking and driving, the Northfield Police Department in cooperation with the Tilton Police Department, and the Belmont Police Department have established a Regional DWI Task Force that applied for, and was granted, a Superior Court Peti-tion to conduct a Sobriety Checkpoint.

The program, approved by the NH Highway

Police get okay to conduct sobriety check point in Tilton this weekSafety Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, provides federal highway safety funds to support these checkpoints, which will be conducted in Tilton sometime during the July 3 through July 9 time frame.

The purpose of the Sobriety Checkpoint is to detect and apprehend the impaired driver.

equality for a couple years now. The sky didn’t fall. All those horrible things they said were going to happen didn’t happen. To undo and take it away this would create a mess. We could have some couples that are married, some couples that weren’t mar-ried,” she said.

If she’s wrong and the law is repealed, gay groups would sue immediately, she said.

“You can’t have two classes of citizens,” she said. “You can’t tell some gay and lesbian couples you are legally married and now some other gays and les-

bian couples are forbidden from (becoming) legally married.”

Bates also has filed a proposed constitutional amendment to limit marriages to one man and one woman. He believes he has the three-fifths votes needed in each chamber to put it on the November 2012 ballot.

Andy Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, believes voters are more focused on the economy and jobs than on gay mar-riage. Survey center polls have found that the public

Before that, Mom needed some help in her home so we brought in an aide for 3 hours per day Monday through Friday. I also stopped by every day to visit. Yet even with all that, she was alone and lonely many hours every day

and night. That’s why I’m so glad that she decided to move into the Assisted Living apartment at Taylor Community. And she loves living there.

has moved on.“The big thing is that as time goes

by other states pass this legislation and we see that there’s not been any significant changes in the way the world works, and in New Hampshire there’s not been significant issues or problems that have come up because of it that a lot of people’s fears about legalizing gay marriage just aren’t there. They haven’t been realized so people don’t worry about it,” he said.

Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro says it is too early to predict what the Senate will do on the issue, but it won’t be the chamber’s top priority.

“The top priority was jobs and the economy and I think going into 2012 it is going to be jobs and the economy,” he said.

Bradley believes the most important leftover issue is a constitutional amend-ment to shift control over education funding from the courts to the Legisla-ture. Giving the Legislature discretion will take pressure off business taxes to fund state school aid, he said.

“This sets the stage for certainty and stability which is what business leaders want to see,” he said.

But Bradley said he knows legislative leaders and Lynch — who all want an amendment — face a tough time per-suading rank-and-file lawmakers to put one on the November 2012 ballot. Past efforts have failed repeatedly, some-times in disagreements over a word or two that can change an amendment’s interpretation.

If it reaches the ballot, two-thirds of the voters would have to approve to change the constitution.

Smith said public interest in chang-ing the constitution on the issue has waned over the years.

“Once people think that it has been fixed, they forget about it,” he said. “I don’t think the public sees the need for (an amendment).”

Bradley said the Senate will develop an eminent domain law in response to the Northern Pass project to carry hydroelectric power from Canada to New England that protects property owners’ rights without jeopardizing future energy upgrades needed by the region. The project drew hundreds to the Statehouse to protest the pro-posed route.

The project would build power towers to carry transmission lines along a 180-mile route from northern to southern New Hampshire and pro-vide electricity for the region. Most of the project would use existing rights of way. It would include 40 miles of new construction in the northern part of the state, where the opposition is based. Many residents there fear that they would lose their property to the project against their will. Others worry that the power lines would be an eyesore that could erode prop-erty values and hurt tourism. Some wonder if the project is needed at all.

Bradley said the Senate proposal will allow utilities to use eminent domain with restrictions if there is a public purpose.

“It really should only be used in a last resort. A premium should be paid if someone’s property is taken or impacted,” said Bradley.

Bradley said it is up to the utilities involved in the project to show more public benefits to New Hampshire. They might also want to move the northernmost transmission line fur-ther east, he said.

Next year, lawmakers also must set new voting districts for Congress, the House, the Senate and the Executive Council. State House districts will fall under new guidelines established by a constitutional amendment that will eliminate many large, multi-represen-tative districts and replace them with single representative town districts depending on a town’s population. A 2006 constitutional amendment restored lawmakers’ ability to craft the smaller, single-member districts.

And they will once again debate whether to legalize video slots. The Senate held onto a bill that Bradley believes has a good chance of passing to the House where its prospects are less certain.

Democratic state Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, the bill’s prime sponsor, has argued for years the state needs the jobs and revenue from video slots. He says the state needs those jobs now more than ever. The Republican-crafted budget that just took effect eliminated perhaps 1,400 state jobs, he said.

“Economic recovery means the cre-ation of jobs, not the elimination of jobs,” he said.

Some of the 56 signers, like Whipple, have no direct descendants. For others, it’s not clear where they’re buried. Some cemeteries don’t allow the plaques. In addition to the 45 who will end up with plaques, there are 11 signers who won’t be getting them; they will be honored at the historic Congressional Cemetery in Washington.

The bronze plaque quotes from the last sentence of the 1776 document, saying for the support of the decla-ration, “we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

“I’ve always been proud to be related to a signer of the Declara-tion of Independence. It’s almost like a royal family,” said Jeffrey Saurman of Portsmouth, a direct descendant of Thornton, whose memorial in Mer-rimack received one of the plaques

last August. He said he was happy to share the moment with his children.

His son Josh, he said, recently com-pleted a report on Thornton, a doctor, state representative and judge, for his sixth-grade class. The youngster took a photo of himself in period clothes next to a portrait of Thornton. “You could see some resemblance,” his father said.

Saurman, who works at a family plumbing and heating business, said he was shocked and surprised that the plaques hadn’t been made years earlier. “You would think something like that would’ve already been done.”

William Whipple, who was born in Kittery, Maine, was a merchant in Portsmouth, a busy seaport and ship-building city. During the Revolution-ary War, he was brigadier general of the New Hampshire Militia and was one of the negotiators of the surrender of British Gen. John Burgoyne at the Battle of Saratoga, a major turning

point in the war.Whipple kept a diary

from that time, musing about how long it took for preparations to bring back Burgoyne so he could be sent back to Britain.

“He talks about Bur-goyne holding them all up, and he wouldn’t leave because he had to get his whole entourage together,” said Barbara McLean Ward, cura-tor of the Moffatt-Ladd House in Portsmouth, Whipple’s home. The weather was fine, but when they finally left Saratoga, “it rained the entire time back ... It’s all about sort of being miserable,” she said.

Whipple freed his slave, Prince Whipple, who had fought with him in the war and was one of a group of slaves who had petitioned the Legislature for their freedom. Prince Whip-ple also is buried in the Old North Cemetery.

The Moffatt-Ladd House, a Georgian man-sion built in 1763, is a national historic land-mark that’s open to the public. It has a portrait of Whipple, as well as some personal items, such as a sword. Outside the house is a 235-year-old horse chestnut tree, which he had planted after signing the Decla-ration of Independence, Ward said. The seeds were brought back from Philadelphia.see next page

MOULTONBOROUGH — Aspiring writers who want to discover if they have “The Write Stuff” are invited to sign up for one of three quality writing programs to be offered this summer by the Recre-ation Department beginning July 13.

“This I Believe,” an international project engaging people in writing and sharing the core values that guide their daily lives, will meet from 4 — 6 p.m. on July 13 and again from 6 — 7 p.m. on August 3.

The program is based on a popular 1950’s radio series of the same name hosted by acclaimed journal-ist Edward R. Murrow. Each day, Americans gath-

3 workshops in Moultonborough will offer ‘The Write Stuff’ beginning July 13

ered by their radios to hear compelling essays from the likes of Elea-nor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, and Jackie Rob-inson as well as cab drivers, scientists, and housewives — anyone willing to distill into a few minutes the guid-ing principles by which they lived. The show was brought back in 2003 on National Public Radio and communities and organizations have been encouraged to join in the project.

The Moultonborough

“This I Believe” project will involve two workshops — one to get the writing juices flowing, to learn more about the process, and focus the writer’s ideas. The second workshop will be to share, edit, review, and listen. Participants should attend both sessions as there are guidelines to be followed. From this project, the goal is to compile a “This We Believe — Moultonborough” book. The project is open to adults, teens, children, and can even be a family event.

For young writers ages 10 — 14, the Creative Writer’s “Fun”shop will take place from 9 a.m. — 4 p.m. on July 20 at the Recreation Department with an evening reading to follow from 5:30 — 7 p.m. at

Bayswater Bookstore. Poetry, fiction, non-fiction, essay, and journal writing will be explored in a fun and nurturing environment.

For women who have always wanted to explore the world of writing, the Recreation Department has brought back the W.O.W. (Women of Words) Work-shop, to be held at Bayswater Bookstore from 5:30 — 8:30 p.m. on July 27. This is a fun introductory exploration of fiction, non-fiction, journal writing, and how to find one’s muse. Women of all ages are welcome.

Fees are being charged for these three workshops. For more information or to register, call 476-8868.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel the pressure as much as anyone around you, but instead of feeling squeezed out, you interpret the sensation as a push in the right direction. Momentum is on your side. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While the sun is up, you’ll convey the appro-priate sense of seriousness in all you do. People will look to you for behav-ioral cues. When the sun goes down, it takes your seriousness with it. Evening will be light and lively. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are emotionally fl uid now, moving through different states without getting hung up for too long on any one feeling. And the day offers a suffi cient variety of stimuli. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve heard the old adage that you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. You won’t go wrong following this advice now. The style and quality of clothing you wear will make a differ-ence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some people are takers. Their mentality may be hard for you to understand, but it is just as necessary to the world balance as your giving mentality. Stay aware. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Feed-back is a gift, although, unfortunately, not the kind that can be exchanged for something you like better. Whether or not you asked for a critique, you’ll get one and fi nd the value in it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You should in no way feel guilty for spending money to look your best. When you feel good about your image, you’ll make a lasting impression. Clothing and acces-sories are an investment in your future. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You give the impression of being much

younger than you are, which can be a good thing. However, there is an oppor-tunity today to earn the respect of your peers, and a serious approach will be best. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may notice something amiss in your social interaction with others, but it’s best not to apologize, complain or explain. The classiest move is to wait until you can fi x it in private. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A friend who comes into your living space will have interesting things to say about it. This will allow you to look at your environment with fresh eyes and make decisions about what, if anything, to change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be feeling generous in every way and will contribute much more than you had planned to. You’ll walk away from the exchange feeling richer, and that’s how you’ll know it was the right move for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get a chance to ask questions and will be careful not to probe too deep. You are also sensitive about not mentioning the past mistakes of others. You under-stand human frailty. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 5). You’ll take excellent care of yourself, realizing that success is easier when you look and feel your best. Your connection to nature, especially to animals, will guide your August activities. September and October bring fi nancial moves that will help you with your long-term goals. November is the most romantic month. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 49, 24 and 11.

Class of 2028 celebrated at Inter-Lakes Day Care Center & Nursery School graduation

ate from college in the spring of 2028. Inter-Lakes Day Care Center & Nurs-ery School celebrates it’s 40th anni-versary this fall.

PLYMOUTH — Artistic Roots will present a series of eight visual arts demonstrations at the Senior Center as part of the Art In Health Care Proj-ect, on Fridays from 11:30 a.m. — 1:30 p.m. beginning July 8.

Local artist Robert “Cam” Sinclair will kick off the series with an oil painting demonstration, followed by a woodcarving demo by Conni Rich-ardson of Bristol, who leads a regu-lar woodcarving group at the P.R.S.C. On July 22, Sharon Dunigan, K — 8 Art educator at Campton Elementary

School, will set up her wheel and pro-duce some hand-thrown pottery.

Three demos will be given in August, beginning with Paula Moriarty of Red Barn Studio in Campton doing some acrylic painting on August 5. On August 12, Lynn Haust, K — 8 Art edu-cator at Plymouth Elementary School, will explain how to produce kiln-fired glass, and Ruth Ann Blair will demon-strate pastel painting on August 26.

Alma Grand of Campton will share the process of multi-plate printing on September 9. The series will wrap up with an encaustics demonstration by Rachel DiCicco of Thornton.

On September 20, the Senior Center will host a special lunch, offered at a nominal fee, to recognize the artists and participants. There will be a dis-play featuring artwork created during the program. A display of photos doc-umenting the series will be exhibited at the P.R.S.C. and at Artistic Roots.

The sessions are free and open to the public. The series has been made possible by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts. The Plymouth Regional Senior Center has also contributed to this series by donating the use of their facilities. Members of Central New Hampshire Artists, a group of mostly seniors that meets weekly at the Senior Center, will serve as assistants to the present-ing artists, and they are donating art supplies to be used in the series.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I’m 22 years old and recently needed an op-eration in the only hospital in our area. I am an extremely shy and modest female and would never go to a male doctor except in an emergency. Luckily, I was able to arrange for a female surgeon and an all-female surgery team. However, while I was in the recovery room, a young male nurse -- a guy with whom I had gone to high school -- came into the room and told me he was there to remove my cath-eter. I was stunned. I told him there was no way I would allow him to do that. He tried to convince me, saying, “I’m a nurse. It’s OK,” but I wouldn’t back down. He fi nally found a female nurse after I threatened to sue him if he came any closer. Am I wrong to feel that a young male my age, especially someone I know, should not have access to the most intimate and private parts of my body, especially since removing a catheter is not an emergency? I made a pact with my boyfriend that no male will see me undressed until I marry, and then only my husband. When I told my boyfriend about this nurse, he was ready to knock the guy’s block off. The idea that this nurse believes he has the right to vio-late me in such a way is keeping me from going back in for a follow-up operation. Do I have the right to forbid a male nurse from attending me? I was told that since female nurses can examine male patients, a male nurse should be able to do the same with females. The anxiety is killing me just thinking about it. What should I do? -- Modest in Iowa Dear Modest: Most health professionals have no pruri-ent interest in their patients. A nurse, male or female, who removes a catheter is acting solely in a medical capacity. He was not “violating” you. However, you are entitled to request only female nurses if the hospital can provide them. Please don’t let your anxiety keep you from follow-up treatment.

Talk to your doctor about your concerns. Dear Annie: My husband is in the hospital. When I called his daughter in another state, she became upset that I hadn’t phoned as soon as he was admitted instead of waiting 36 hours. I explained that I’d asked her father whether I should call his adult children, but he said he’d rather wait until he knew his diagnosis. She reminded me that the last time he was ill, I had prom-ised to let her know. Frankly, I had forgotten. I was also ex-hausted and feel my fi rst loyalty is to my spouse. But I apolo-gized. She followed up with a long e-mail detailing her future notifi cation requirements. I’ve been married to her dad for three years. Both of his daughters have been kind and welcoming, and I do not want to create a rift. At the same time, I do not want to go against my husband’s wishes. Please help me keep peace in the fam-ily and do what is right for all those I love. -- Sleepless in Syosset Dear Syosset: Your stepdaughters worry about their father and don’t want anyone withholding information. It frightens them. Talk to your husband. Ask his permission to keep his girls up-to-date in a timely manner. It will reassure them. Dear Annie: The other morning, I woke up at 5 a.m. with the feeling that my husband was in the house. I knew it wasn’t true and burst into tears. He died seven years ago. When I opened up the newspaper, there was Norbert Tack-man’s letter in your column. It was meant for me that day. I know the sadness and loneliness will always be a small part of my life. But now, whenever it starts to overwhelm me, I will reread his comforting letter. Thank you, Annie, for print-ing it. -- L. Dear L.: Norbert’s piece has comforted many people, and we are grateful he allowed us to share it.

PLYMOUTH — The Frost School of Continuing and Professional Studies at Plymouth State Uni-versity will once again host Mindflight, a weeklong residential program for middle school students to be held July 10 — 15.

Between 80 — 100 children currently completing grades six, seven, or eight will have an enriching, interdisciplinary opportunity to participate in work-shops that integrate the sciences, technology, cul-ture and the arts. Students will be fully immersed in the university community to enhance their desire and resolve to pursue post-secondary education.

“Mindflight offers high achieving, motivated students a chance to really stretch,” said profes-sor James McGarry, founder and director of the program. “The teachers and counselors are highly qualified and committed individuals drawn primar-ily from the PSU faculty, students, and alumni, and teachers from New Hampshire Schools.”

The five Mindflight workshops are:Ecological Expeditions — This theme integrates

biology and computer technologies. Student will create their own Web pages using data and digital images col-lected in the field, while exploring several local areas rich in biological diversity. Students will learn about the ecology of the area by collecting data and complet-ing research, and while in the field they will learn dif-ferent techniques used to study the local biodiversity.

Multimedia Madness — This workshop explores concepts of interactive design for the Web. Working across multiple mediums, participants will learn to develop their ideas from simple sketches to finished

logotype designs, animations, interactive presenta-tions and Web sites. This Mindflight program inte-grates individual experimentation with typography and digital imagery within the context of a collab-orative group multimedia project.

Mythical Masks of Creative Expression — Students participating in this workshop create their own mixed media projects employing multiple forms of artistic expression. This Mindflight theme focuses on the power of language in our lives and integrates creative writing and mythology from various cultures and art. Students receive hands-on computer training in order to form their own blogging community consisting of their individual and collaborative writings and artwork.

Extraterrestrial Expeditions — The extraterrestrial expeditions group will design a spacecraft mission to explore another world in our solar system. The students will decide which world to explore, what they want to learn about it, and how they will accomplish the mission. Teams of students will build models of the space probes and consult with a NASA scientist via Skype™. Various software programs will be used to create their own Solar System and students will create a brief video. Projects

will utilize equipment in the Plymouth State Planetar-ium and the Boyd Hall Science Center.

Video Ventures — Video Ventures students will work in small teams to create short but potent video sequences. This Mindflight theme focuses on visual story telling and integrates creative writing with the various techniques involved in planning, shooting, and editing for video. Students will receive instruction in the conceptual and technological tools needed to employ video as an expres-sive medium and learn a variety of camera and editing techniques to convey their stories. All student projects will be published on the Web and presented to parents and peers at the end of the workshop.

Students will be selected for Mindflight based on their academic performance and teacher recommen-dations. They may apply online at http://mindflight.plymouth.edu/apply.htm. The application fee is $25 and tuition for the full program is $425 including meals, room, and board.

Information about Mindflight is available online at www.plymouth.edu/community-education/205/mindflight, or by e-mail to Professor McGarry at jamesm@plymouth.edu.

‘Mindflight’ for middle school age students at Plymouth State from July 10-15
