B L O O M F I E L D TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — With her grandson’s terrified screams fill-ing a suburban Detroit courtroom, 74-year-old Sandra Layne sat in a jail jumpsuit with tears in her eyes Monday as she listened to the teen telling a 911 operator he’d been shot by his grandmother.
Tapes of the emer-gency call were played publically for the first time at the hearing, during which Layne was ordered to stand trial on murder and weapons charges in the death of 17-year-old Jonathan Hoffman. Layne, petite with graying red hair, was acting in self-defense, her attorney later told reporters.
“I’ve just been shot. My grandma shot me. I’m going to die. Help,” Jonathan yelled into a cellphone on May 18 from the condo he shared with his grand-parents in West Bloom-field Township, an upscale suburb.
A few minutes later, he tells the operator: “I got shot, shot again. Please help. Help,” before his voice trails off and a woman’s shouts are heard in the back-ground.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The deadly crash of a military cargo plane fighting a South Dakota wildfire forced officials to ground seven other Air Force air tankers, removing critical firefighting aircraft from the skies during one of the busiest and most destructive wildfire sea-sons ever to hit the West.

Scientists say evidence of ‘God particle’ foundmass, which combines with gravity to give an object weight.
The idea is much like gravity and Isaac Newton’s discovery: It was there all the time before Newton explained it. But now scientists know what it is and can put that knowledge to further use.
The focus of the excitement is the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle long sought by physicists.
Researchers at the European Organiza-tion for Nuclear Research, or CERN, say
that they have compiled vast amounts of data that show the footprint and shadow of the particle, even though it has never actu-ally been glimpsed.
But two independent teams of physicists are cautious after decades of work and bil-lions of dollars spent. They don’t plan to use the word “discovery.” They say they will come as close as possible to a “eureka” announcement without overstating their findings.

Fatal plane crash grounds key part of wildfire attack fleeting a crew of six and fighting a 6.5-square-mile blaze in the Black Hills of South Dakota when it crashed Sunday, killing at least one crew member and injuring others.
President Barack Obama offered thoughts and prayers to the crew and their families. “The men and women battling these terrible fires across the West put their lives on the line every day for their fellow Americans,” he said in a statement.
The crash cut the number of large air tankers fighting this summer’s outbreak of wildfires by one-third.
The military put the remaining seven C-130s on an “operational hold,” keeping them on the ground indefinitely. That left 14 federally contracted heavy tankers in use until investigators gain a better under-standing of what caused the crash.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — In the battle to dominate the global aviation indus-try, European aerospace giant Airbus announced its first assembly plant in the United States on Monday, a sym-bolic and significant step in the com-petition with archrival Boeing.
The French-based company said the Alabama plant is expected to cost $600 million to build and will employ 1,000 people when it reaches full production, likely to be four planes a month by 2017.
“We are going to create great jobs and generate growth right here,” Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier said at the convention center in Mobile, where many of the 2,000 people in attendance waved American flags as music played in the background.
“We know in aerospace, when we create one job, there are about four related jobs so we could bring as many as 5,000,” Bregier said at a later news conference. “The management to the blue collars will be 100 percent American.”
Boeing already has a big presence in Alabama, employing 2,700 people in defense and rocket operations.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. manufac-turing shrank in June for the first time in nearly three years, adding to signs that economic growth is weakening.
Production and exports declined, and the number of new orders plunged, according to a monthly report released Monday by the Insti-tute for Supply Management.
The slowdown comes as U.S. employ-ers have scaled back hiring, consum-ers have turned more cautious, Europe faces a recession and manufacturing has slowed in big countries like China.
“This is not good,” said Dan Green-haus, chief economic strategist at BTIG, an institutional brokerage. Though the report “does not mean recession for the broader economy, it is still a terribly weak number.”
The trade group of purchasing man-agers said its index of manufacturing activity fell to 49.7. That’s down from 53.5 in May. And it’s the lowest read-ing since July 2009, a month after the Great Recession officially ended. Read-ings below 50 indicate contraction.
Economists said the manufacturing figures were consistent with growth at an annual rate of 1.5 percent or less. That would be down from the January-March quarter’s already tepid annual pace of 1.9 percent.
“Our forecast that the U.S. will grow by around 2 percent this year is now look-ing a bit optimistic,” said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics.
Stocks fell sharply after the report was released at 10 a.m. But investors

Exeter hepatitis C outbreak grows to 27can cause liver disease and chronic health issues. State officials suspect a worker’s misuse of drugs led to the outbreak.
Anyone who was treated at the lab since October 2010 has been asked to get tested, either at the hospital or at alternate sites in Hampton and Ports-mouth.
Europe’s Airbus to build plant in AlabamaAirbus planned to build refueling
tankers for the U.S. Air Force in Ala-bama, but its parent company, the Euro-pean Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., lost the contract to Boeing in 2011.
While Airbus had parts plants in the U.S. before, a full-fledged plane-making factory is a more significant presence and could help it boost its share of U.S. commercial and defense contracts.
The Airbus plant advances the company’s strategy of expanding pro-duction outside its home base. The company, jointly run by French and German management and with plants in several European countries, wants to expand in China and India as well as the United States.
The Alabama is also a way for Airbus to save face after losing the Pentagon tanker contract.
The companies have had a long-running international trade dispute. Each also has been critical of subsi-dies received by the other.
EADS shares have being climbing on European markets since news of the Alabama deal surfaced last week.
U.S. manufacturing shrinks for first time in 4 years; production & exports down
appeared to shake off the bad manufac-turing news by the end of the day. The Dow Jones industrial average recovered most of its early losses to close down just 8.7 points at 12,871. And broader indexes ended the day up.
Most economists aren’t yet predict-ing another recession. Though the ISM report suggests manufacturing is contracting, it typically takes a sus-tained reading below 43 to signal the economy isn’t growing.
Still, U.S. manufacturing, which has helped drive growth since the recession ended, is faltering at a precarious time.
Americans have pulled back on spending, which drives roughly 70 percent of growth. Europe’s economy is likely in recession, which has hurt U.S. exports.
And China’s manufacturing sector grew in June at its slowest pace in seven months, according to a survey released Sunday by the state-affili-ated China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.
Manufacturing will likely stay weak for the next few months. The ISM’s gauge of new orders, a measure of future activity, plunged from 60.1 to 47.8. That’s the first time it has fallen below 50 since April 2009, when the economy was still in recession.
Fewer new orders reflect growing con-cerns of businesses. In addition to slower global growth and less spending by U.S. consumers, many companies worry that U.S. lawmakers won’t extend a package of tax cuts at the end of the year.

Froma Harrop
An option to be foolish & cruel
There was never much doubt that the individual mandate in “Obam-acare” was constitutional. As Har-vard Law School professor Einer Elhauge had noted, the fi rst Con-gress in 1790 passed a law ordering ship owners to buy medical insur-ance for their seamen. Twenty fram-ers of the U.S. Constitution were members, and President George Washington signed the law.
No, the emotional claim that forcing people to buy a commercial product stomps on basic American rights was a cover for a political campaign to kill the reforms. The Supreme Court removed that fi g leaf last week, but the naked poli-ticking goes on.
The next showdown on the pro-gram is less dignifi ed. Conservative governors have latched onto the ruling that states won’t lose their existing Medicaid funding if they don’t expand their Medicaid cover-age as envisioned by the Affordable Care Act. Thus, they won’t.
In South Carolina, Gov. Nikki Hal-ey’s spokesman defi antly announced, “We’re not going to shove more South Carolinians into a broken system ... .” Gosh, wouldn’t bringing coverage to the uninsured make the system less broken? More to the point, exactly who would be “shoved”?
Contrary to right-wing mythol-ogy, America’s uninsured are not the idle poor. They already have government-guaranteed health care, as do the elderly, the disabled, government workers and prisoners. Left out are the modest folk who earn too much to qualify under the old Medicaid rules but not enough to afford insurance in the private market (and, by the way, who subsi-dize others’ coverage). The Medicaid expansion is for them.
Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Dave Heineman also opposes letting more struggling workers into Med-icaid: “As I have said repeatedly, if this unfunded Medicaid expansion is implemented, state aid to educa-tion and funding for the University of Nebraska will be cut or taxes will be increased.”
An interesting threat, except for one thing. The Medicaid expansion is funded, certainly by any normal defi nition. The federal government
assumes all the costs in the early years, then 90-percent after that. Furthermore, continuing to drive the uninsured to expensive emer-gency rooms for routine care is itself a major cost.
Speaking of affordability, the reforms make health care more affordable for government, as well as for families. The Congressio-nal Budget Offi ce projects that the Affordable Care Act will actually cut federal defi cits. Here’s how: While the federal government will be spending billions to make insur-ance obtainable to those without, it will save more than that through other parts of the law that curb costs and add revenues, an esti-mated $525-billion.
For example, as Medicare now stands, the program must pay for almost any treatment that works, regardless of whether the same could be done for much less. The law prepares government (and private insurers) for more careful spend-ing by funding research to identify $10,000 treatments that do just as fi ne a job as the $40,000 variety.
Obamacare is also bottom-line good for business and the American econ-omy. It extends tax credits to small companies that cover their workers. (Those that don’t are not penalized.) Would-be entrepreneurs will be able to leave their corporate jobs, thanks to reasonably priced family coverage. And everyone who pays for insurance will enjoy the slowdown in spiraling health care costs.
But why let the facts dampen tea party passions? “We can’t afford it,” insists New Hampshire state Rep. Andrew Manuse, now working with other Republicans to reject the mil-lions the feds are offering for Med-icaid expansion. “Thank God the Supreme Court gave us an option.”
Yes, the Supreme Court gave states an option — the option to be both foolish and cruel at the same time. Go ahead and stay behind. Everyone else is moving forward.

LETTERSYour presence at Music Festival is testament to artistic vitality
Arts are alive & well in Lakes Region & we have season tickets To the editor,
We are fortunate in that we bought season tickets to the Interlakes Summer Theatre 2012 productions. Last night we were treated to a won-derful show “Nunsensations!” The excellent singing, acting and staging can only predict how wonderful the
rest of their summer productions will be. We recommend that you go and see this professional musical theatre cele-brating their fi fth anniversary season.
It is good to know that the arts are alive and well in the Lakes Region!
Bev and Liz LaphamGilford
To the editor,For 60 years, in concert halls across
Central New Hampshire, faithful patrons of the New Hampshire Music Festival have enjoyed timeless music, then walked out into the night air in one of the most beautiful places in the country.
In recent years, much ink and effort has gone into the struggle of the Fes-tival’s identity. Today, it is my estima-tion that the focus going forward is not so much who we are as an arts organization but how we serve the people of Central New Hampshire.
Rural and tourist driven parts of the state deserve a fi ne artistic outlet that enhances their visitors’ stay. Every summer for 60 years, the Festival has offered orchestral and chamber music performances of a quality found nowhere else in the state.
Year-round residents deserve cul-tural institutions that enrich the places in which they live. The Festival has provided opportunities for year round residents, including free com-munity concerts that feature up-and-coming young artists.
Urban, rural, and special-needs school children deserve a rounded educational experience that includes intimate personal encounters with the Arts and performing artists. The Festival has been a consistent force in enhancing cultural offerings in public school settings for more than 30 years.
The Festival has undergone substan-tial structural and fi nancial realign-
ment over the last few years, which, while streamlining operations, have taken a toll on administrative effec-tiveness and communication with our patrons. We are working to correct this situation. The Center Harbor develop-ment has been cancelled and the prop-erty is on the market. Communication between administration and orches-tra membership has become open and honest. Most importantly, the Festival’s most critical partners — Meredith Vil-lage Savings Bank, the Bank of New Hampshire, and Plymouth State Uni-versity — have reaffi rmed their long-standing friendship and partnership with the Festival.
As the Festival’s executive director, I ask that our friends and neighbors turn their passion and love for music into action.
Come to Festival classics, pops, and chamber concerts this summer and contribute to the fi nancial well being of our 60 year old festival! Visit old friends, catch a glimpse of rising musical stars, and fall in love with the Festival experience all over again.
Your presence at our performances is a testament to the artistic vitality of the Lakes Region. It is essential to the immediate future of the Festival, and will provide tomorrow’s audiences the experience of exquisite art in the midst of a beautiful landscape.
This experience is the Festival’s real treasure.

How can murder be tolerated in a civilized country like ours?To the editor,
In a recent news story posted on the Web by CNN, I read that Mississippi’s last remaining open abortion clinic may close soon. This is good news to those of us who cherish Life.
In that article, the management of the clinic stated that “...often women come to us in time of crisis when they are in dire need of help.” The story also states that the clinic’s goal is to protect the health of the women who go there. What about the health of the woman’s baby? Is kill-ing an unborn child the answer to a mother’s pleading for help. No matter the crisis, the murder of the baby is wrong. Life begins at conception. As soon as a woman’s egg is fertilized, a
child begins to grow, and within a few weeks a pregnant woman will know that a new life is moving, growing and living within her.
So I offer this question about abor-tion clinics, not just the one in Mis-sissippi, but also the ones in New Hampshire and the rest of the coun-try. How can murder in a civilized country be tolerated?
Also, I commend the Legislature in New Hampshire for over-riding Gov-ernor Lynch’s veto of the partial-birth abortion law. Imagine if you will what a partial-birth abortion is. This pro-cedure allows an abortionist to end the life of a baby even as it is being born, fully developed and able to move

To the editor,On the eve of our celebration of
independence, let us review our mili-tary posture in the Middle East. We are still in a war in Afghanistan after more than 10 years — in that sad, deplorable country. We are committed to remain there for at least another 12 years. Why? Afghanistan is not, and has never been, a viable threat to our country. Nor, for that matter, are any of the other countries in the region dangerous to our security, in the long term. (Note: 15 of the terrorists of 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, a so-called friendly nation.)
Look at the reasons why we should disengage. Number one: We are the most powerful, military power civili-zation has ever witnessed. We have at least, 2,500 nuclear missals, in silos, ready to fire in minutes! We spend more money (borrowed) on military weapons than all the other coun-tries in the world combined. And the clincher should be: not ONE person in this country has died from a terrorist attack in more than 10 years. Those numbers should assuage suspicions and needless fears that still prevail in our country today. Fear we have lived with since 9/11 and still do.
Why do we constantly hear on the news the killing of suspects and inno-cent civilians as if it is crucial to our way of life? Simple: The military is the strongest lobby in Washington, and industrial interest will influence the making of daily news to infer a negative impact on our safety. We know that this is a manufactured lie to justify contin-ued warfare, where none should exist,at all. This war is phony as the war in Iraq! Proponents of war, including our elected representatives,will spend mil-lions of dollars to keep us in a state of near panic, to excuse the use of military weapons on an endless list of suspected enemies. (All with borrowed money we will pay back in decades ahead!)
Isn’t it long overdo that we bring all the troops home now! Even some of the brightest writers are saying: What have we accomplished in the last 10 years of war? We have suf-fered enough, lost too many precious lives! Call your senator or the presi-dent today. Take positive action. Tell-ing your neighbor your opinions won’t solve a thing. We are tired of being sheep led to the slaughter by military supremacists!

Why do you think one needs rich parents to start a business?To the editor,
Kathleen Welcome’s letter (June 28) might show why she is not welcome! She not only totally misunderstood the excellent and accurate letter Tony Boutin wrote about Pell Grants, but then is proud to be one who ripped off the taxpayers!
I guess a good question is, “what kind of responsibility does being a single mother show?” To me a 3.8 grade in the easiest subjects shows clearly the burden of raising a child while in school. Who ever told her you need a Bachelors degree just to get a job interview? I have a MSME and no one ever bothered to look at the degree!
Why does she think one needs rich parents to start and earn at a business? Many of the most successful businesses started and thrived on a good idea and willingness to work! My very successful and highly enjoyable business “Stephen-sons-Warmlite” (mountaineering sleep-ing bags and tents) started just with
gear for us, then helping friends, and their friends, in a chain reaction. Yes my parents were involved, by teaching me the standards of honest and hard work, and love for those who worked with us. As for “need” of a degree, an engineer-ing friend explained, when questioned “why did you waste all those years to get the doctorate? “A truly bright person has no need of formal education, but to others basic schooling to grade 8 is help-ful, while those with average capability need a high school education. The much slower one will benefit from a basic college education, while those like you have to get a Masters degree: BUT, if you are absolutely incurably STUPID you NEED a Doctorate!”
Very accurate.Note that most really successful
businesses start with only the meager financing the originator has.

Yes, we should be buying local foods, supporting our neighborsTo the editor
I am writing to congratulate Don Walker of Barnstead. In his letter he outlined and defined the path to con-tentment and happiness. We should be buying local foods, supporting our neighbors in local business; THAT is economic prosperity.
And one more thing to remember, all profit is not dollars.
I also notice with amusement, those fascist animal rights wacko’s insisting that everyone arrive at their conclu-sions. Just a question, was the woman who started this orchestrated writing campaign to sway opinion, the same woman who didn’t agree with moose hunting either? The same state gov-ernment employee who found it nec-essary to hack our website last year? Probably just a coincidence, but their perspectives are so closely aligned and flawed that it does make you wonder if people are using their real names when submitting letters.....hmmmm.
Keep up the great work, from one editor to another, GREAT JOB! Laco-nia needed a place where the news was actually the truth.

LETTERSYou get your rights from humans; God’s law is not supreme hereTo the editor,
In response to George Brunstad’s letter insisting the United States was founded under God, I disagree. The nation of laws we are now under was not founded under any God. Many colonies and states were originally founded under God but the nation that was born with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights was not founded upon any God or religious principle. It was founded on that age’s Enlighten-ment principles. The Constitution is religion-neutral, taking no side on religious matters. The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document and although an inspirational docu-ment, nothing in it is binding in any court. Creator as used is not even the Christian God. Creator is used in the “generic” deist’s way; “nature’s God”. Deism of some sort was the prevailing belief among most of the founders and the universities they attended. Jef-ferson believed in a higher power but he rejected Jesus’ divinity, the virgin birth, original sin, miracles, the trin-ity, atonement, and the resurrection. He even called Christianity “our pres-ent superstition”.
What is binding in all courts, legisla-tures and executive offices is the U.S. Constitution’s primacy. This country under its present laws did not exist until after the ratification of the Con-stitution and it’s Bill of Rights by the states. The U.S. Constitution signaled a total philosophical break from the past, not the continuation of the medi-
eval religiosity found in the charters and constitutions of the past. What is striking about the U.S. Constitution is what is blatantly missing. There is not one mention of God or Chris-tianity. After nearly two centuries of heavy state-sponsored evangelism it suddenly ceased altogether. God is ignored in the Constitution while “God” can be found over 100 times in the major charters from 1610-1761. Christ or Christian can be found over 40 times. But with our present “nation of laws” we live in, God and Christi-anity were completely left out of the founding text. The Bible is officially dead as holding any legal author-ity. No more religious test-oaths. No more state evangelism! Its a personal matter now as it should be.
Quotes by our favorite founders or presidents are not the laws of the land; they are their personal senti-ments. No quote should be confused with the constitution’s clearly secular laws. More relevant are quotes from people like James Madison who led the crafting of the Constitution — or Thomas Jefferson who crafted Virgin-ia’s groundbreaking religious liberty statute. For instance, James Madi-son’s letter to Robert Walsh On March 2, 1819, states:
“The civil Government, though bereft of everything like an associ-ated hierarchy, possesses the requisite stability, and performs its functions with complete success, whilst the number, the industry, and the moral-ity of the priesthood, and the devotion
of the people, have been manifestly increased by the TOTAL SEPARA-TION OF THE CHURCH FROM THE STATE.”
Religious tests in the previous age forced all to profess a belief in the Bible as the Word of God. They also demanded a belief in the Trinity. All this compulsory medieval religiosity was banned in Section III of Article VI in the U.S. Constitution. The sig-nificance is that your religion means nothing as far as being a qualification for public service or religious liberty. In Jefferson’s Religious Liberty Stat-ute (1786), its passage in the Virginia Assembly was led by Madison against Patrick Henry’s law for establishing state supported Christian teachers. Madison called Henry’s law, “a bill of sudden degeneracy”, the “degradation of equality” and “the first step towards inquisition”. OUCH! Jefferson’s law made clear that your religion neither elevated nor diminished your quali-fication for government service nor could any of your freedoms be dimin-ished based on your religion. And you no longer had to go to church.
This is what the Religious Test Ban clause of Article VI does. In govern-ment, your religion is “officially” irrel-evant. That means pagans, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Wiccans, and atheists are equally qualified for public office. In fact, Chief Justice Joseph Story claimed in his book on the Constitution (1833) that the Arti-cle VI was “not introduced merely for the purpose of satisfying the scruples of many respectable persons, who feel an invincible repugnance to any
religious test, or affirmation. It had a higher object; TO CUT OFF FOR-EVER every pretense of any alli-ance between church and state in the national government.”
Section II of the same Article VI also contains the “Supremacy clause”: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Con-stitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
As far as where you get your rights; you get them from humans. God’s law is not the supreme law of the land; the Constitution is and says so. The founders were influenced by Whig and Enlightenment views of natural law philosophy which were deeply rooted in classical antiquity. Those earlier Whig and Enlightenment politicians, both Christians and Deists, adopted “natural rights” from the pagan writ-ers of classical antiquity. The truth is that we all have certain natures in common. As nations mature they go from being heavily weighted towards the needs of the state to one that cre-ates a more humane balance with the needs of the individual. Men decide these rights in social compacts like our Constitution. Religious liberty and freedom of speech are two of those accomodations made by humans in their social contracts. God has noth-ing to do with it. The First Congress of

the United States and 3/4 of the states gave you those rights. No supernatu-ral iCloud did.
Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli of 1797 clearly says the Government of the USA is not founded on the Christian religion. Remember, as the Supremacy Clause states, treaties have to be in pur-suance to the Constitution. The article states: “THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS NOT IN ANY SENSE FOUNDED ON THE CHRIS-TIAN RELIGION.....”
OUCH! After being read aloud in the Senate and a copy printed for each Senator, the vote was 23-0 for the treaty. Unanimous votes are rare in Congress but here is one. And what a dandy it is. Legally we are not founded under God nor are we a legally founded Christian nation. There was not one voice of contention in the Senate because the founding generation saw America’s founding in a different light than our constitution-ally naive right wing.
Mr. Brunstad also repeats the reli-gious right’s claim that only since recent times has faith in the public square been under attack. Jefferson
LETTERSObamacare was all about a giant new entitlement for 30-million
wrote to the Danbury Baptists that the first amendment meant there was a WALL of separation between church and state. That’s from an 1800 letter, not 1947 or the sixties. And remember Chief Justice Story’s comment on for-ever cutting off every pretense of an alliance of church and state: 1830, not 1947. And be aware that Jefferson and Madison saw congressional chaplains and days of prayer as unconstitu-tional and never supported them. And be aware that the presidential oath as set forth in the Constitution does not contain “so help me God” nor does it mention any Bible.
Then there is this 1860, not 1960s, Supreme Court ruling, in the case of Melvin V. Easley:
“CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ESTAB-LISHED BY LAW, and the genius of our institutions requires that THE CHURCH AND THE STATE SHOULD BE KEPT SEPARATE....The state confesses its incompetency to judge spiritual matters between men or between man and his maker ... spiritual matters are exclusively in the hands of teachers of religion”.

To the editor,On a 5 to 4 vote the Supreme
Court punted the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) back to the Ameri-can ELECTORATE where it always belonged. Democrats used slimy political tactics to pass the law and Republicans tried an end run using the courts to remove it. Two wrongs trying to equal a right. The court lav-ished NO praise on the legislation. All it said between the lines was, health care is too important for us to decide one way or the other. Justice Roberts did not want the courts image less-ened again as it has been in the Gore v. Bush election debacle by what Ameri-cas view as a huge political ideology divide. Roberts sole intent was to pre-vent a replay of that at all costs. He found the proper way out. In essence he said... If you want something DIF-FERENT & BETTER in America to Obamacare then VOTE IN those who will provide it.
The Supreme Court DID NOT uphold the law on the legal grounds the Obama administration had argued (at the top of their lungs) for two years that it was built on which was that it was an expanded interpretation of the Commerce Clause of the U.S. consti-tution. Obama demonized and bit the heads off of anyone who suggested it was a TAX. Obama is now shown in ENDLESS past video clips saying “Republicans say everything I propose is a TAX”. Well, I guess Republicans were DEAD RIGHT. That is precisely what the court says IT IS. They ruled OBAMACARE is nothing but a BIG FAT TAX. In fact it is not just a single TAX it is TWENTY TWO new AND different taxes. I REPEAT 22 NEW TAXES. Worst of all, HEALTH CARE COSTS WILL NEVER GO down under Obamacare and millions will be tossed by employers from the health insurance plans they now have.
The FIRST goal of Obamacare was NEVER control of health care costs.
IT it was it hasn’t worked at all. It was ALL about a giant NEW ENTI-TLEMENT for 30-million people. A step toward complete nationalization of health care totally RUN AND CON-TROLLED by GOVERNMENT that will follow the EXACT, BANKRUPT FOOT STEPS as Social Security, Medicare and the Post Office. YOU KNOW in your heart what I say is RIGHT! I will bet any person any sum up to my entire net worth (100 bucks) that I am and give you ten to one odds. Obama care in INSANITY at EVERY LEVEL. 80-percent of Americans oppose the mandate, the majority of Americans want the law repealed even TODAY by a strong margin. That majority has not budged in two years. Like myself two out three people are certain Obamacare will NOT control sky rocketing health care or health insurance costs.
Some Obamacare INSANITY to consider:
1. History proves without exception what ever you TAX MORE of you will get LESS of it. Thus, we will get LESS health care and LESS availability of it. Remember Obamacare authorizes 4,500 new IRS agents at a cost of bil-lions to taxpayers while providing ZERO new doctors. Come on folks get a BRAIN will you? Think for yourself, if only this one time. We can do much better than Obamacare!
2. What ever you TAX MORE, you will get less INVESTMENT in it. Inves-tors look for investments that rewards them more and government less.
3. The 2.3-percent NEW TAX on medical device makers SALES (that can mean 100-percent of profits) means less investment in health care, less invention and innovation. Less of those result in living with more PAIN. It means fewer new discover-ies in medical technology, fewer new knee and hip updates and a general slowdown for ALL THE NEW GEAR

4. Less investment in health care services means less expan-sion, less expansion means FEWER JOBS, fewer jobs means SLOWER GROWTH, slower growth means more WELFARE, more welfare means MORE DEPENDENCE on Democrats, on Obama and GOVERN-MENT. THE DONKEY KOOL AID FORMULA for addiction.
It is what I describe as the DEM-OCRATS never ending CIRCLE OF FAILURE for AMERICA. You have only ONE CHOICE and ONE
CHANCE to stop the Obama care INSANITY, that is in NOVEMBER at the ballot box. If Obamacare had been described HONESTLY on day one as TWENTY TWO BIG FAT TAXES it would have never gone anywhere. Many Dems would have voted NO to save their own jobs. That is why Obamacare was NEVER called a TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX-TAX ( COUNT UM 22) You have been BAIT and SWITCHED America — by Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the DEMO-CRATS.

“I agree that any reasonable outside observer would say, ‘It looks like a dis-covery,’” said British theoretical phys-icist John Ellis, a professor at King’s College London who has worked at CERN since the 1970s. “We’ve discov-
ered something which is consistent with being a Higgs.”
CERN’s atom smasher, the $10 bil-lion Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border, has been creat-ing high-energy collisions of protons to investigate dark matter, antimatter
and the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.
The phrase “God particle,” coined by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, is used by laymen, not physicists, more as an explanation for how the subatomic universe works than how it all started.
Rob Roser, who leads the search for the Higgs boson at the Fermilab in Chicago, said: “Particle physicists have a very high standard for what it takes to be a discovery,” and he thinks it is a hair’s breadth away. Roser compared the results that scientists will announce Wednesday to finding the fossilized imprint of a dinosaur: “You see the foot-prints and the shadow of the object, but you don’t actually see it.”
Fermilab, whose competing atom smasher reported its final results Monday after shutting down last year, said its data doesn’t settle the ques-tion of the Higgs boson, but it came tantalizingly close.
“It’s a real cliffhanger,” said Grego-rio Bernardi, a physicist at the Uni-versity of Paris who helped lead one of the main experiments at Fermilab.
He cited “strong indications of the pro-duction and decay of Higgs bosons” in some of their observations.
Fermilab theorist Joseph Lykken said the Higgs boson “gets at the center, for some physicists, of why the universe is here in the first place.”
Though an impenetrable concept to many, the Higgs boson has until now been just that — a concept intended to explain a riddle: How were subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons and neutrons, themselves formed? What gives them their mass?
The answer came in a theory first proposed by Scottish physicist Peter Higgs and others in the 1960s. It envi-sioned an energy field where particles interact with a key particle, the Higgs boson.
The idea is that other particles attract Higgs bosons and the more they attract, the bigger their mass will be. Some liken the effect to a ubiq-uitous Higgs snowfield that affects other particles traveling through it depending on whether they are wear-ing, metaphorically speaking, skis, snowshoes or just shoes.

Walt Stockwell, who has a collection of 150 American flags, admires the Gilford Village home of Dr. Kelley White, who has put about two dozen flags of her own on display as part of the Gilford Bicentennial. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)
Vintage American flags displayed on Gilford homeGILFORD — Dr. Kelley J. White’s home in Gilford
Village is drawing a lot of attention these days for its proud display of historic American flags.
White, who returned to her hometown several years ago after 30 years as a pediatrician in inner-city Philadelphia, never lost touch with the town where she grew up, writing a book of poetry “A Gil-ford Offering’’ in 2004.
She now lives in a historic home in the village which at one time was the home of Alvah Hunter, who at the age of 80 in 1926 wrote a manuscript about growing up in Gilford in the 19th century which the Gilford His-torical Society hopes to publish.
White says that she loves the history of the town and is proud to put her collection of rare flags on display to share with other townspeople as the com-munity as it celebrates its 200th birthday.
‘’It’s something that has real meaning to me. But the real flag expert in town is Walter Stockwell,’’ says White.
Stockwell, who first met White on Memorial Day, says that he was thrilled to see the display on her home.
‘’It’s a great representation of flags from our history, especially the Revolutionary War,’’ says Stockwell, who has 150 flags in his collection and frequently presents programs for local historical societies on the history and etiquette surrounding the American flags.
‘’I really like it when people show their pride in the flag. I think that’s great. Anyone who shows flags is a winner as far as I’m concerned,’’ says Stockwell.
Among the flags on display is the Guilford Court-house Flag from 1781, the Revolutionary War battle in which Colonel Lemuel Bickford Mason fought and for which the town, with the exception of a missing ‘’U’’ is named. It hangs above the front doorway of White’s home.
Other flags include the Grand Union flag of 1775, which is the flag which was flown in Philadelphia when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and has a Union Jack and 13 stripes.
There’s also a Betsy Ross Flag in the collection.Interestingly enough White notes in her descrip-
tion of her flag collection that the Ross flag, which was commissioned and accepted by the Continen-tal Congress on June 14, 1777, lead to retribution against Ross by the Quakers. Ross lived on Arch Street in Philadelphia across from a large Quaker meetinghouse and she and her husband were both

‘’read out’’ of the Quaker meeting for their support of the war.
Other flags include the ‘’An Appeal to Heaven’’ flag, called the Liberty Tree flag, which flew during the Battle of Bunker Hill; the First Navy Jack with 13 stripes and a rattlesnake and the words ‘’don’t tread on me’’ from 1776, as well as the Green Mountain Boys flag carried at the Battle of Bennington in 1777.
There’s another Bennington Flag with a semi-cir-cle of stars surrounding 76 which most likely flew during the War of 1812 as well as The Star Spangled Banner from 1814 and the 33-star flag which flew over Fort Sumter when the first shots of the Civil War were fired.
Of note is the fact that the Star Spangled Banner had 15 stars and 15 stripes as Vermont and Ken-tucky had joined the union but was returned to just 13 stripes in 1818,.

There’s also a Women’s Suffrage Flag from 1919 to which suffragettes added a star every year until the 19th amendment was adopted in 1920 after 36 states had voted to support it.
Stockwell, who says he was bitten with the fl ag bug during the 1976 Bicentennial, is a Korean War veteran who moved to New Hampshire from the Worcester, Mass., area 17 years ago,
Since that time he’s added exten-sively to his collection and is always on the lookout for old fl ags in good
condition to add to his collection.‘’One thing that’s really neat about
having so many fl ags is that you can use different ones in each new pro-gram so you’re not always repeat-ing yourself but offering something new to each different audience,’’ says Stockwell.
He said that his program ‘’It’s a Grand Old Flag’’ focuses on the his-tory and evolution of the American fl ag and that he can be reached at 603-556-9251 or by e-mail at fl [email protected].

But it was what Layne told police when they arrived that convinced Judge Kimberly Small to order the frail grandmother to stand trial. Offi cer Derrick Kassab testifi ed that Layne walked out of her home with her hands up and “screamed to me, ‘I murdered my grandson.’”
Kassab was among several offi cers called to the stand during Monday’s hearing, and their testimony revealed a bloody crime scene in a community of manicured lawns, quiet neighbor-hoods and lush green golf courses.
When Layne walked through the condo’s front door, “she had blood on her hands, had some blood on her clothing,” Offi cer David Curry said. He testifi ed that there was also blood on a Glock 9mm semiautomatic hand-gun that offi cers found just inside the door. Nine spent cartridge cases also were found in the house.
Blood was found on walls and the fl oor throughout the home. Offi cers found Jonathan lying face down in an upstairs loft bedroom, his arms at his sides on the fl oor near a sofa.
“His legs moved just a little bit,” Sgt. Joseph Spencer testifi ed.
An autopsy revealed that Jonathan was shot three times in the chest, once in the abdomen and once in his left arm. The teen also had traces of synthetic marijuana in his urine, tests showed.
At one point, Small granted Layne’s defense attorney a short break to allow his client to compose herself. Friends and relatives quietly sat behind her in the small courtroom, their eyes also red from crying.
Layne was being held without bond. If convicted, she could face up to life in prison.
After the hearing, defense attorney Jerome Sabbota indicated to report-ers that Layne’s actions were in self-defense.
“If you listen closely to the 911 tape, he’s grabbing onto her and he’s hold-ing her. He’s not letting her go,” her lawyer said.
The shooting was the second time this year that offi cers were called to the home.
On March 21, offi cers responded to complaints and found Jonathan out-side. Layne told police she was having a hard time because her grandson was very upset and yelling. No arrests

I hear it all the time that Term Life is a better value, overall, then Permanent Insurance. It’s al-ways a big debate and there are places for both types of Life Insurance, you just have to know where it all fits. Unfortunately, many, but not all agents be-lieve that they should sell only one type of insurance because their company promotes only one type of product. However, your decision about insurance should focus on looking at the total cost, not just the begin-ning cost. Term insurance is designed for temporary use. For example, a par-ent with minor children might buy Term insur-ance until the children are grown up and out of the house. The insurance is needed for a “tempo-rary term”. Similarly, business partners will of-ten buy Term insurance on each other. If, lets say they were intending to sell the business within 10 years, they want to protect themselves in the event of the others death during that period (If the business was longer than 10 years permanent insurance should be considered).
In some cases the need for insurance is perma-nent. For example, a husband may have a larger pension that ceases when he dies. The loss of the pension creates a financial hardship for his wife. So the husband purchases Permanent insurance because he could live three years or thirty years. This concept called Pension Maximization is an article in itself, but is an extremely powerful con-cept; for retiring state workers, school teachers, and people looking at getting annuity payments. The term is unknown, making the need for the insurance permanent. Another instance involves people who buy insurance to pay their taxes at a discount. Again the term is unknown because no one knows how long they will live. Such per-manent needs can only be prudently funded with Permanent insurance.
Term insurance is less expensive in the begin-ning years, while Permanent insurance has a con-stant premium. The cost of Term Insurance rises with age. Therefore, someone attempting to ful-fill a permanent need with Term Insurance could find the cost of the term premium increase as the person ages. Therefore, the correct decision is to buy Term Insurance for temporary needs, know periods of time, and Permanent Insurance for needs with indefinite periods of time.

BARNSTEAD — Police serving an arrest warrant at a residence on Province Road last Wednesday, seized drugs and weapons as well as discovered an operation for cultivating marijuana.
Ryan S. Ashley, 19, was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of controlled drugs with intent to distribute, one count of possession of a controlled drug and one count of manufacturing a controlled drug, all class B felonies. He was released on bail and scheduled to be arraigned in in the 4th Circuit Court-Laconia Division on August 16.

obtained a search warrant. Assisted by the K-9 unit of the Pittsfi eld Police Department and offi cers from the Belknap County Sheriff ’s Department, United States Marshal’s Offi ce and United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the search of the home revealed the growing operation, packag-ing materials, scales and bagged pills, along with a small amount of powder believed to be a narcotic. Police also found weapons and ammunition.
Police also obtained a warrant to search Ashley’s vehicle, from which several items were seized.

were made that day.Four days earlier, Jonathan, who was a senior
at a local alternative high school, was pulled over in nearby Farmington Hills and ticketed for pos-session of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He later received a 93-day suspended sentence and was placed on 12 months’ probation.
Jonathan was living with Sandra Layne and her
husband, Fred, while his mother and father were divorcing and living outside Michigan. Neither appeared to be in court Monday.
“This was a child who was dumped on her,” Sab-bota said. “She killed a person she loved that she tried to save.
“There are no winners. No matter what we do to her, it doesn’t really matter. Watch her. She’s in her own hell. Nobody wins this case.”

Lamontagne speaks to GOP faithful at Tobin’s home
SANBORNTON — Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamon-tagne called the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to uphold a national health care law, including the individual mandate, a ter-rible decision that smacks of arrogance and imperi-alism.
“We cannot allow the federal government to hijack our health care delivery system,” Lamon-tagne said Friday night.
Lamontagne, one of two GOP contenders for the state’s highest office, made his remarks at an ice cream social/ fund-raiser at the home of State Rep. Bill Tobin. Nearly 50 people from Belknap,

Merrimack and Grafton Counties were on hand to hear Lamontagne speak.
Lamontagne said that if elected, he would not only work to turn health care back to the state govern-ment and private sector but would place a 90-day moratorium on the recent rules and regulations imposed on private businesses, especially the health care sector.
Lamontagne, a health care attorney, told support-ers he is the only candidate with hands on experi-ence in the field, said he wouldn’t support any of them until people knew how much each of them would cost.
Lamontgane said the current state Legislature has “done a good job” getting the state toward a bal-anced budget and he would continue down the path
toward privatizing non-essential services.But he also said he would govern all of the people
of New Hampshire and would “check his party label” if elected.
He also said he would either sign or not sign each bill that comes to his desk. “I will not let bills pass into law without a signature,” he said criticising Lynch, who he described as a friend.
He also warned the party goers that the Demo-cratic party is geared up and is willing to spend a lot of money in New Hampshire.
“The Democrats see New Hampshire as an impor-tant state,” he said, reminding people that the stat’s four electoral votes were the ones that put former President George W. Bush over the top in 2000. “ It is Ground Zero for national politics.”
period from $493,622 to $487,084.Total compensation includes earning reported to
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on form W-2 as well as deferred compensation, retirement contribu-tions, incentive payments and cash allowances.
The study was commissioned by the Charitable Trust Division of the New Hampshire Department of Justice, which oversees and regulates charitable institutions, including the state’s 23 non-profit hospital systems. In a prepared statement, Attorney General Michael Delaney said that the purpose of the study was to determine if the trustees are meeting their fiduciary responsibilities in setting executive compensation.
Meanwhile, the center undertook its analysis and

LACONIA — Meeting June 28 evening at Hector’s Restaurant, the Laconia Democrats elected new offi-cers to lead the local party as it gears up for the fall campaign.
“We’ve been sort of idle over the past few months,” conceded former N.H. Representative Beth Arse-nault who is a candidate again this year, facing-off against either Harry Accornaro or Glenn Dewhirst in the race to represent the newly formed District 9 (Laconia and Belmont) in the N.H. House. “But with the election rapidly approaching, and the need to familiarize voters with the redistricting of N.H. House seats, it’s pretty clear we have a lot of work ahead of us.”
Arsenault, a veteran of many campaigns over the past decade, was elected to chair the Laconia Democratic Committee, a role she has played before.
Beth Arsenault again picked to lead Laconia Democrats She’ll be assisted by two co-chairs, financial advi-sor Charlie Smith, who is also running for the N.H. House to represent District 3, and Carlos Cardona, a former member of the Franklin School Board and a co-owner of a marketing firm in the Lakes Region.
“It’s really heartening to see young people such as Charlie and Carlos engaged in the process,” Arse-nault observed. “I’m going to be relying heavily upon their energy and enthusiasm.”
The immediate challenge facing the local party is trying to overcome the devastating losses in the 2010 election which saw all of Laconia’s House seats swept by Republicans. “There is no question but that many in the party have been discouraged,” Arsenault admitted. “But I’m confident that when voters look at the record of the GOP over the past year-and-a-half they’re going to want to make an adjustment again.”
issued its report amid litigation pitting the hos-pitals against the state in United States District Court. Ten of the largest hospitals, LRGHealthcare among them, claim that the state is failing to meet its obligations under the Medicaid Act by reducing reimbursement rates for Medicaid patients and taxing hospitals on their net patient revenue, which together jeopardize their financial condition.
Last October, when LRGH joined the lawsuit and reduced access to Medicaid patients, Governor John Lynch charged that “given LRGH’s decision to walk away from a large part of its nonprofit mission, I think it would be appropriate for the Attorney General to review whether LRGHealthcare, and its associated primary care practices, still warrant nonprofit status.”
For purposes of analysis, LRGHealthcare, which operates hospitals in Laconia and Franklin, is com-pared with four other hospitals with annual operating expenses of between $100-million and $275-million — St. Joseph’s Hospital, Frisbee Memorial Hospital, Cheshire Medical Center and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. Within its peer group, LRGH ranked third in operating expenses, second in patient revenue and fifth in executive compensation in 2009. Among the five, LRGH scored the lowest for quality of care and posted the next to lowest costs. Meanwhile LRGH provided charitable care valued at $15.3-mil-lion, second only to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in its peer group and almost $4-million more than
Exeter Hospital and only $232,000 less than Elliot Hospital, both larger institutions.
The study found that most hospitals follow the process prescribed by the IRS for determining executive salaries, but noted employment agreements, bonuses and perqui-sites, which can represent a significant share of executive compensation, do not necessarily conform to the standards of the IRS. Delaney also observed that while the report found that the compensation of the CEO correlated with the size of the hospital, the data revealed no apparent correla-tion between compensation and performance as measured by the quality of care, cost of care and amount of charitable care, which he called “a significant concern.”
Furthermore, Delany said that although hospitals are supposed to apply a range of salaries to set com-pensation, in practice they work from the 75th per-centile or higher, touching off “an upward spiral,” by which CEOs are rewarded disproportionate to “mea-sures of achievement” and others in the workforce.
According to the report, the compensation of the CEOs at the 23 hospitals rose 18-percent between 2006 and 2009, twice the average of 9.4-percent of three northern New England states —Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. During the same period aver-age salaries and wages in the private sector climbed 4.8-percent while the pay of hospital employees grew 14-percent and all health care workers 12.8-percent. Throughout New England, the pay of CEOs of non-profit hospitals increased 29-percent.

seven tower trucks of the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid System,” Leandro wrote.
Leandro’s objection went to the five points a peti-tion for a special meeting must meet to justify a special town meeting: the severity of the harm; the urgency of the need; if the emergency was foresee-able or avoidable; if the appropriation could have been made at annual town meeting; and if there are alternative measures that would eliminate the need for a special town meeting.
Fire Chief Steve Carrier and the three-member Board of Fire Engineers have said the special meet-ing is an emergency because the pumper the town wished to replace at annual town meeting in March has been removed from service since the electorate decided not to lease a new one.
Fire trucks are built to order with an average lead time of eight to 10 months. Leandro wrote that if the town was facing an emergency the the Board of Fire Engineers would seek to purchase a used or demonstrator truck “that could be delivered almost
immediately.”When selectmen broached the idea of a used truck
during their most recent debate over whether or not to recommend the passage of a special warrant arti-cle if it meets Belknap Superior Court Judge Ken-neth McHugh’s muster, Carrier said there were no used trucks that would meet Gilford’s specifications.
Carrier said Gilford is currently borrowing a truck from neighboring departments.
Leandro also said the situation could have been avoided because necessary repairs were not done to the existing 25-year-old Engine 4 because “since it was scheduled for replacement, (they) felt it was foolish to put money into a truck that was going to be replaced.”
He also submitted to the court a second proposed warrant article that, if passed, would have allowed the department up to $150,000 to refurbish the existing pumper tanker.
“Ultimately the Board of Fire Engineers opted for an ‘all or nothing’ approach and requested the con-tingency article not appear on the final town meet-
ing warrant,” he wrote.The hearing is on the Belknap County Superior
Court docket for Friday at 1:30 p.m. The court has allocated 30 minutes and will only hear from those who have filed a notice of appearance.

Police said the four men were allegedly using foil-lined bags with false bottoms to steal ink cartridges from Staples. According to police, the four began their alleged crime spree in New Jersey in late June and are responsible for nearly $100,000 in thefts in that state alone.
In New Jersey the four allegedly stole toner car-tridges from Staples stores in Connecticut, Massa-chusetts and on June 28 targeted stores in Nashua, Bedford and Manchester. According to Tilton Police, about one-half hour before they arrived in Tilton, the four had just been spotted by a loss prevention officer at the Concord Staples who then notified sur-rounding Staples stores.
Tilton Police said they were initially called to the Staples when a motorist called them to report an erratic driver who had just pulled into the parking lot. While police were in the parking lot, the four men allegedly went into the store but were were immediately recognized by employees.
Police Chief Robert Cormier said it was lucky that police just happened to be there.
When they realized store employees recognized them, one of them threw his “booster bag” at an employee and all four bolted for the door. One man ran to the car, one fled toward Tanger Outlets on the oppo-site site of Rte. 3 and, according to police, two ran into Shaw’s supermarket next door, one of whom hid under some cardboard and fled through a fire door.
Police from Tilton, Northfield, Belmont and the N.H. State Police began looking for the men, two of whom were apprehended trying to drive away in a car with New York plates and one who was found running along the railroad tracks.
Dwayne Dollar, described as a medium to heavy set black man in his late 20s remains at large. He was last seen wearing a black shirt or sweatshirt, gray pants and a black baseball cap.
Cormier said the three men are being held in Belknap County Jail but should the United States Attorney indict them, they would be moved to Strafford County Jail where federal prisoners are detained pending trial.

“You’ve basically lopped off eight air tankers immediately from your inventory, and that’s going to make it tougher to fight wildfires,” said Mike Archer, who distributes a daily newsletter of wildfire news.
“And who knows how long the planes will be down?” he said, adding that investigators will take time to make their conclusions.
C-130 air tankers have crashed on firefighting duty before. In 2002, a privately owned civilian ver-sion of an older-model C-130 crashed in California, killing three crew members. The plane broke up in flight and an investigation blamed fatigue cracks in the wings.
The crash, in part, prompted a review of the air-worthiness of large U.S. air tankers and led ulti-mately to a greatly reduced fleet of large civilian tanker planes. The 44 planes in the fleet a decade ago has dwindled to nine being flown on U.S. Forest Service exclusive use contracts right now.
Another aerial firefighting plane, the Lockheed P2V, has had some problems in recent months. One crashed in Utah, killing the two pilots, and another one crash-landed in Nevada.
A military spokesman said he did not know when the grounded planes would resume firefighting flights. The military planes had been filling up with fire retardant and flying out of Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.
They were used to fight fires in Colorado, Wyo-ming, Montana and South Dakota.
The U.S. Forest Service, which owns the MAFFS devices and coordinates the program with the mili-tary, expressed support for the decision to stand down the MAFFS.

THE PERIO/CARDIO CONNECTION Emerging research indicates a connection between gum disease and heart problems. The American Journal of Cardiology and the Journal of Periodontology jointly published a consensus paper recently describing the nature of this connection. Periodontal (gum) disease and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease are largely inflammatory diseases. “Inflammation” is the process by which the body responds to an injury or an infection - the injured tissue becomes inflamed (on a tissue level this means redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function). Inflammatory stimuli such as bacterial infections activate the inflammatory response. Gum disease begins as a bacterial infection, and these germs can spread from the mouth to other organs through the bloodstream. The body’s immune response to this challenge can cause problems as well as solve them. Problems occur when acute inflammation doesn’t shut down because the challenge persists over time (as in the case of untreated gum disease). Then the inflammatory response is “chronic” (this extended immune response differs from the early or acute response in important ways). Chronic inflammation results in additional damage to target tissues and may also cause damage to normal tissue remote from the infected site (such as the cardiovascular system). In this way, health of your mouth can influence the health of your entire body. Have you been checked for gum disease? A periodontal exam is easy and good for you – why risk tooth loss and health problems due to undiagnosed gum disease? Get it done!

GILFORD — The Board of Selectmen is seeking to identify the town’s oldest resident, who will be the next to hold the Boston Post Cane.
Dorothy Mastine, who Selectman Kevin Hayes presented with the cane at a ceremony at the Mer-rimack County Nursing Home in July 2010, passed away last year.
Town Administrator Scott Dunn encouraged anyone familiar with a resident who might qualify for the honor to forward a written recommendation, accompanied by the name, age, telephone number
Boston Post Cane waiting as Gilford seeks oldest residentand brief biography of the individual to the select-men at the Town Hall or by e-mail to [email protected].
The tradition of the Boston Post Cane dates from 1909 when Edwin A. Grozier, publisher of the Boston Post, distributed 700 ebony canes capped with 14 carat gold to towns in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire to be kept by the oldest resident of the community. Women have been eligi-ble to hold the cane since 1930.

the sick and elderly, who are especially vulnerable without air conditioning in the sweltering triple-digit heat. Many sought refuge in hotels or basements.
Offi cials feared the death toll, already at 22, could climb because of the heat and widespread use of generators, which emit fumes that can be dangerous in enclosed spaces.
At the Springvale Terrace nursing home and senior center in Silver Spring, Md., generators were brought in to provide electricity, and air-conditioning units were installed in windows in large common rooms to offer respite from the heat and darkness.
Residents using walkers struggled to navigate doors that were supposed to open automatically. Nurses had to throw out spoiled food, sometimes over the loud objections of residents who insisted their melting ice cream was still good.
The lack of power completely upended many daily routines. Supermarkets struggled to keep groceries from going bad. People on perishable medication called pharmacies to see how long their medicine would keep. In Washington, offi cials set up collec-tion sites for people to drop off rotting food. Others held weekend cookouts in an attempt to use their food while it lasted. And in West Virginia, National Guard troops handed out food and water and made door-to-door checks.
When it comes to getting the power running again,
all utilities take a top-down approach that seeks to get the largest number of people back online as quickly as possible.
First, crews repair substations that send power to thousands of homes and businesses. Next, they fi x distribution lines. Last are the transformers that can restore power to a few customers at a time.
In Great Falls, Va., just outside Washington, patent attorney Patrick Muir found out fi rsthand who was high on the priority list. The area is sparsely popu-lated and wealthy, with mansions spread across secluded, wooded lots. Muir had been raiding water bottles from his powerless offi ce to supply his home, which is on a well that was not working. His 8-year-old daughter spoke hopefully of a beach trip to escape the heat. Dad said it was under consideration.
“Great Falls always seems to be the fi rst to go down and the last one to come back up,” Muir said.
A Safeway supermarket trying to stay open with a limited power supply handed out free bags of dry ice. But after two days of temperatures in the 90s, the air inside was stale. Shopping carts with spoiled food, buzzing with fl ies, sat outside the store.
At a CVS pharmacy, Mahesh Tickle did the best he could. He had no cash register, so he made change with loose bills and coins stuffed inside a Ziploc bag. Tickle fi lled what prescriptions he could and fi elded questions from customers wondering if medications such as insulin had spoiled.

MANCHESTER (AP) — Police say a man is accused of using his 11-year-old daughter to breathe into an ignition interlock system to start up his truck in New Hampshire.
Police arrested 46-year-old Robert Brennan of Durham, Conn., at a hotel in Manchester on Sunday.
They said Brennan, his daughter, and his 8-year-old son had been sleeping in the truck parked at the
hotel. Police believe he had the daughter breathe into the ignition interlock system, allowing him to start the truck and drive.
The children were taken into protective custody pending the arrival of a family member. Brennan was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer.

Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation gives to students majoring in the arts
PLYMOUTH — The New Hamp-shire Electric Cooperative Chapter of Dollars for Scholars has announced its 2012 scholarship award recipients. This year, NHEC received over 100 applications from candidates across the state who hoped to receive one of six $1,500 scholarships. The awards committee was impressed by the qual-ity of the applicants this year, and was finally able to narrow the field down to the following six deserving students.
The 2012 Dollars for Scholars scholar-ship recipients are: Kristen Call of Cole-brook, will be attending Southern NH University this fall studying Special Edu-cation; Katelyn Orrok of Wilmot, will be attending Babson College this fall study-ing marketing; Lauren O’Shea of Center Harbor, will be attending Boston College this fall studying nursing; Megan Bemis from Alton Bay, will be attending East-ern Nazarene College this fall studying Elementary Education; Whitney Paine of Moultonborough, will be attending Bates
College this fall and is still undecided about her major; and Camden West-Coates of Raymond, received the schol-arship reserved for a vocational student and will be attending Manchester Com-munity College this fall studying welding.
All of the 2012 scholarships given out are funded by The NHEC Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) fund. This non-profit organization is funded by members of the New Hampshire Electric Co-op whose monthly electric bills are rounded up to the next dollar with the proceeds ben-efiting the Foundation. The NHEC Foun-dation was founded in late 2005, and since that time has donated more than $1.6-million to support charities, schol-arships and organizations that improve the quality of life in New Hampshire. If any NHEC members are interested in participating in the Round Up program to benefit the foundation, you can do so by going online when paying electric bills or by calling NHEC Member Solutions at 1-800-698-2007 to “opt in.”

‘All Shook Up’ opens tonight at Interlakes TheatreMEREDITH — Inspired by the music of Elvis
Presley, Interlakes Summer Theatre, a professional summer stock company, presents a music and dance extravaganza starting July 3: All Shook Up.
When a slick, motorcycle-riding roustabout comes gallivanting into a sleepy town, his savoir-faire transforms the townspeople from squares to love-struck dreamers. Within moments of his arrival, the love bug bites the once-reserved residents creating a web of unrequited affection and lusty encounters.
Every musical number in the show is a classic
Presley hit such as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t be Cruel.”
All Shook Up will be performed at the Interlakes Auditorium starting July 3 through July 15, Tuesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. with matinees on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 2 p.m.

Community forum on Wyatt Park at Laconia Police Station July 9
LACONIA — The Laconia Police Department will be hosting a com-munity forum to discuss the issues or concern at Wyatt Park. The forum will be held at the Laconia Police confer-ence room on July 9 at 7 p.m. and is open to anyone that wishes to attend.
A small group of offi cers were assigned to work on some of the issues that park patrons and residents around the park have had concerns with. This forum will give the chance for these offi cers to discuss some of the strategies that they have been imple-
menting, as well as to get feedback and ideas from the public. It is also an opportunity for people that frequent the park to just come out and meet some of the offi cers that are assigned to this project.
Traditional enforcement action are taken when necessary, however a community and police partnership in dealing with some of these issues has been shown to be more effective.
Those with questions or concerns before the meeting can call Lieuten-ant Simmons or Sergeant Hubbard.

The 12th Regiment Serenade Band Will Play at Gilford Bandstand to Conclude Civil War programs. The band is shown in front of the monument to the 12th NH Regiment at Gettysburg. (Courtesy photo)
GILFORD — The Gilford Historical Soci-ety and Bicentennial Committee will sponsor “What Life Was Like for Gilford and NH Sol-diers During the Civil War” on Saturday, July 8 at the Gilford Village Field.
The day will conclude at the Gilford Village Bandstand at 6 p.m. with a concert by the 12th NH Regiment Serenade Band. They recreate the sights and sounds of mid-19th century America as they perform music of the Civil War on their period instruments. Besides the music and the sound being authentic, the members will be attired in dress of the Civil War. Although the clothes are new, they are authentic in every detail.
The 12th NH Regiment Serenade Band was origi-nally raised here in Belknap County. They accompa-nied the 12th N.H. Regiment (from Belknap County) as they served their country during the Civil War.
The concert program will include commentary on the instruments and the many roles bands per-formed during the war including providing enter-tainment for the troops, playing for the wounded in hospitals, serenading the officers at night, and pro-viding music for various military functions. During battles, members often served as litter bearers and assisted in the hospitals. As the war progressed and became more costly, there was no money to pay band members and the policy of “no money for tooters, only shooter” prevailed. This is when many officers started to pay to keep their band intact and have the bands play to maintain the troops’ morale and for their entertainment in the evenings.
“Musicians from the 12th NH Serenade Band have played at battlefield events, concerts, and reen-actments such as Spotsylvania, Cedar Creek, Antie-tam, and Gettysburg, along with events at Arlington National Cemetery and the Library of Congress. They have regularly participated in the annual Remembrance Day Events in Gettysburg commem-orating the dedication of the National Cemetery and the first reading of President Lincoln’s Gettysburg
Address. The day will start at 10 a.m. with members of the
12th Regiment in period uniform at their recruiting camp that is set up on the Village Field in the center of town.
As part of this celebration, Sharon Wood will portray Betsey Phelps in “A Soldier’s Mother Tells Her Story” about her son who died heroically at the Battle of Gettysburg. This will take place inside the 1834 Meetinghouse at 2 p.m. She will also incor-porate some interesting tidbits concerning Gilford’s soldiers and their families.
Gilford’s own Carole Johnson will also be there to sharing excerpts from Thomas. Hunt’s letters home; he was her ancestor whose brother, Dr. Charles Hunt, was taken prisoner by the Confederate Army.
Also as part of this celebration, Steve Wood will present “A Visit with Abraham Lincoln” at 4 p.m. at the 1834 Meetinghouse across from the Village Field in the middle of the village.
The Gilford Historical Society, along with the Bicentennial Committee, is pleased to offer this unique musical program at the Village Bandstand in the center of Gilford Village. There is plenty of parking, so bring your lawn chair or blanket.
There will also be a chicken BBQ presented by the Gilford Fire Department. The program is made pos-sible in part by the NH Humanities Council and The Samuel P. Pardoe Foundation.

PET OF THE WEEK IS DIVER
What’s a handsome dog like Diver doing at New Hampshire Humane Society?
Diver was acquired per the Last Will and Testament of his owner, now passed away. Sadly, the home he thought he was going to live out the rest of his days in decided he should come to NHHS instead.
Diver is then, a little older than the average dog, a little sturdier, a little more world wizened than other canines here. He is wondering what happened to his life but is making the best of the situation. He hasn’t ever lived with children so we have that proviso for his ideal home, but he seems amenable around other creatures he has met at the shelter.
Please come and see Diver, take him for a walk on our trail system, you will fall in love. Call 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org
Beans & Greens Farmstand Pavil-ion at 245 Intervale Road, Gilford, will hold a BBQ Dinner/Dance on Saturday, July 7 at 6:30 p.m. A real “localvore” event leading off with a fresh food BBQ featuring chicken and produce grown on the farm and grilled to perfec-tion followed by dancing to the tunes of “The Crunchy Western Boys”. Winners of NH Magazine’s Best Americana Band 2011, this “local” band is known for being incredible musicians that will strum and pick all kinds of infec-tious tunes for listening or danc-ing. Call 293-2853. Cost is $20 per person, children 10 or under $12. (Courtesy photo)
Summer arts programs mark 39 years of creativity at the Frates Center
LACONIA — This year marks the 39th season of creativity at the Frates Creative Arts Center with Studio Art Classes for children, teens, and adults, Magic Classes for children and teens, as well as the Lakes Region’s original Children’s Theater Workshop. Regis-tration is now open and will continue over the summer.
The exciting “summer programs” begin the week of July 9-13 with the morning Studio Art classes for chil-dren 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, and teens. All of these groups will explore a variety of drawing and painting mediums revolving around personal themes. Each day will challenge the young art-ists to explore and especially to have fun in the process.
Afternoons will inspire youngsters to apply their creative skills to the new Magic classes. Each day will bring the world of magic alive with learning, practicing, and even per-forming for family and friends. This idea is a repeat workshop following a successful June workshop that pro-duced 10 novice magicians ready to become members of the National Soci-ety of Young Magicians.
Children and teens who complete the workshop are invited to join
the National organization through the Society of American Magicians through the affiliation that Frates has had with society, as a member of the Order of Merlin Shield.
Afternoons in August bring more art classes for youngsters ages 4-teens during the week of August 13-17 and the morning tradition of the Lakes Region’s Children’s Theater Work-shop.
During the week young people between the ages of 4 and 12 enrolled in the Children’s Theater Workshop will collaborate to produce a complete performance on the evening of Friday, August 17 for family and friends. Each year the 4-6 year old actors have blended into the 7-12 year old actors rehearsals in a non-competitive and “let’s have fun” experience.
This approach to theater has been successful and has developed into a Lakes Region tradition that promotes the importance of working together, doing the best you can do, building self-confidence, and demonstrating a respect for each other as fellow actors.
For more information or to register call Joan and Larry Frates at 364-6264, 528-7651, or visit www.frates-creates.com.

Lakes Region artists of the month whose work is on display include, front row: Gisela Langsten, Barbara Ganem, Annette Hutchins; back row: Kazuko Raymond, Rob Caron, Marlene Witham, Marcy Yerkes. (Courtesy photo)
LACONIA — The Lakes Region Art Association established the Artists of the Month program in late 2011. As the Association draws from the entire Lakes Region, this program is aimed at exposing the Association and its members work across the entire region.
Each month, a jury selects from submissions by member artists to be featured at various businesses in the Lakes Region. These original pieces might be oil or acrylic paintings, water-colors, pastels, or collages. In the short time that the program has been in place the number of display locations has
increased from three to seven, accord-ing to Judy Palfrey who introduced the project to the Association.
The following member artists will each have art work on display until July 16 at the following Lakes Region locations: Rob Caron, Meredith Saving Bank, Moultonborough; Barbara Ganem, Belknap Mill, Laconia; Annette Hutchins, Franklin Savings Bank Gil-ford; Gisela Langsten, Northway Bank, Meredith; Kazuko Raymond, Frank-lin Savings Bank, Franklin; Marlene Witham, Northway Savings Bank, Laconia and Marcy Yerkes, Bank of New Hampshire, Gilford.
Lakes Region Art Association Artists of the Month on display until July 16CONCORD — The NH Commu-
nity Development Finance Authority (CDFA) has approved a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of $140,000 to assist Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) with the purchase of new training equipment for their Nursing Program. The grant will aid in the expansion and renova-tion of LRCC Center for Arts & Tech-nology building which will include a new nursing lab.
“This project will provide a nearby source of well-trained nurses to fi ll hos-pital staffi ng needs in the community,” said Kevin Flynn, CDFA Communica-tions Director. “A total of seven jobs will be created from this grant, each provid-ing excellent pay and benefi ts, and at least fi ve of them will be made available for persons of low to moderate income.”
There are two business involved in this project. Lakes Region Com-munity College is the nonprofi t busi-ness/subrecipient of the CDBG grant. LRCC is one of seven colleges in the Community College System of New Hampshire and offers over twenty-nine associate degree programs. The CDBG funds will contribute to the cost of equipment for the new Nursing Simulation Lab and high-tech train-ing tools, specifi cally real-life simu-lation manikins that exhibit human symptoms. LRCC is committed to cre-ating two of the seven jobs.
LRGHeathcare (LRG), the second busi-ness in this proposed partnership, is a long-standing nonprofi t health care insti-tution in the Lakes Region. LRG is the parent company to over nine community-
based health initiatives and commits to placing at least fi ve Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNA) and/or Licensed Prac-tical Nurses (LPN) into the Nursing Program at LRCC to receive Registered Nurse (RN) credentials.
The NH Offi ce of Energy and Plan-ning predicts that by 2030, 36% of Belknap County’s population will be 65 or older and that in 10-15 years almost half of their nursing staff will have retired. “Quality training of nurses is important, especially for a community where there is a gap to fi ll and a demand to meet,” said Flynn.
The CDBG program funds provide housing and create jobs primarily for low- and moderate-income people. Funds are provided to the state of New Hampshire by the US Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Devel-opment, and administered by CDFA. Each project is evaluated on several criteria, including impact on low- and moderate-income residents and the acquisition of matching funding.
CDFA supports the development of vibrant and resilient communities by providing resources for community development efforts. CDFA, created by the Legislature in 1983, is a nonprofi t public instrumentality of the State of New Hampshire. CDFA administers nearly $57 million in funding resources, which includes a combination of state tax credits and federal Community Development Block Grant, Neighbor-hood Stabilization, and Energy Reduc-tion Funds. For more information about CDFA and its programs visit www.nhcdfa.org or call 603-226-2170.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you’re willing to explore and experi-ment, life becomes a big adventure. Try things at least once before making a determination as to whether it’s really for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Things are about to ramp up for you. Accept the challenge. You’ll prove that you can do more than you did before. Soon the production level of yesterday will seem like mere child’s play. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s no shame in your game. You’re willing to lose the ego and put yourself out there just to learn. Because you have no resistance to the new, you’ll quickly gain useful skills. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Excuses are the enemy of positive thinking. Abolish blame (especially self-blame), and you’ll see what’s really going on that needs to be handled. You’ll fi nd immediate solutions to what-ever ails you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mind’s eye is extra powerful today. Use visu-alization to make something interest-ing happen in your world. Imagining it won’t make it happen, but it puts the odds in your favor. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your aim is straightforward. There are only a few things that absolutely must be accomplished today, and relaxation is one of them. You’ll be focused, com-pleting one task before moving on to another. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Flexible thinking helps you fi nish what you set out to do since you probably won’t be able to accomplish it the way you had planned. Stay open-minded, and you’ll defi nitely fi nd another way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Admit that you are only human. Sometimes you need a little help, and don’t be afraid to ask for it. A break from the action this afternoon helps you to clear your head. Afterward, you’ll get quickly back on track. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re usually sensitive to what others need. Turn those sensors on yourself. Recognize when you are starting to get stressed, and quickly take action to relieve that stress. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The world hasn’t changed too much from the way it was yesterday, but your perception of it has. This is a temporary state of being. Feelings and thoughts pass. Try not to take any of it too seri-ously. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have social choices today. Don’t pay heed to discouraging people who seem to revel in planting doubts. Stay in the company of those whose thoughts and attitudes are generally positive. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re powerful, but sometimes you forget this. Identify the problems, fears or obstacles that make you feel helpless, and brainstorm possible (and impos-sible) solutions. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 3). Home is where you live and love; it’s also an investment. You’ll add value to that investment in July. Loved ones will engage in their best behavior to win your affection in August. September brings speedy developments on the career front. Children and elders crave your attention in October. There’s a windfall in December. Aries and Scor-pio people adore you. Your lucky num-bers are: 50, 20, 12, 34 and 6.

Students at the Newfound Memorial Middle School showed their community spirit and physical fitness by participating in the Bear Crawl Fun Run on May 22. The one mile and two mile courses were run by 110 students, who, through entry fees and donations raised $656 for Bristol Community Services. Jason Robert, the 8th grade science teacher at NMMS organized the event. Mr. Robert, along with students Noah Fogg, Cole Eastman and Andrea Markiewicz delivered the donation to Diane Payne, the office manager of Bristol Community Services.

Starting on July 13, the church has opened a “Dump Run Café” that will be open on Wednesdays. At this cafe
we will serve free coffee and delicious “Goodies” from 8 to 11 a.m.. The “Good-ies” are home-baked by Lauralynn Morrissey, who is graciously donating them each Wednesday. This is a great way to gather with your neighbors and friends to visit and chat.
Looking ahead to more July events, the church’s Thrift Store workers are planning a Yard Sale on July 14 at the Iron Works Church on Route #140 in Gilmanton Iron Works from 8 a.m.. to 2 p.m..

they can always depend on Jesus and his promises of true peace, true riches, true love and true hope. The camp will include music, games, wilderness crafts and tasty snacks. Parents are invited to come back on Friday for the closing cer-emony at 5:30. It will include gifts for all our campers and a Taco bar. For more information, call Sharona at 937-0120.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My daughter has been married to a drug abuser for 10 years. “Rob” can’t keep a job and sells everything on the premises for money to buy more drugs. He even took his 9-year-old daughter with him to trade her TV and other electronics for narcotics. Rob has been in rehab three times and makes lots of promises, but always goes back to the drugs. My daughter has a responsible job. She has taken Rob’s name off of the checking accounts and cred-it cards, and she hides her purse and jewelry every night. She was unable to keep up the house payments, and they are in foreclosure. She is currently living in an apartment, and Rob lives with his par-ents. With my fi nancial support, she has fi led for divorce. So far, I have given her more than $3,000. She lives in another state and has emotional support from her siblings and us by phone. Here’s the problem. I feel like she is wavering. She keeps talking about what a great dad Rob is when he’s sober and how hard the separation has been on the kids. I know how diffi cult it is for her to be a single mom. But I have told her that if she does not go through with the divorce, I will not help her again. Is this too harsh? I want to be there for her, but I have to work, and my income isn’t that big. Any advice on this situation? -- Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-in-Law Dear Mom: You are not obligated to support your daughter re-gardless of the circumstances, but we are certain your fi nancial as-sistance helps her to manage as a single parent. Still, she undoubt-edly loves her husband and wants her children to have a full-time father. And it’s easier to forget the hardships once you are separated from them. Instead of issuing ultimatums, urge her to get into coun-seling to fi gure out why she continues to be drawn to someone so needy and incapable of being a true partner to her. Help her to be
stronger so her choices will be better. Dear Annie: During the past year, I have noticed that my 73-year-old mother-in-law seems to be losing her memory and becoming very rattled. She forgets where her son works, what day she is hav-ing dinner with us, and where her grandchildren attend school, al-though she has been there a hundred times. She writes everything down on pieces of paper that she sticks in her purse or strews about the house. Her friends convinced her to see her internist, which she did. He gave her a series of general questions, which she answered and from which he determined that she was absolutely fi ne. Mom was thrilled. How can we get her to see another doctor when she is now con-vinced that she is perfectly healthy? We know something is going on, and it is just getting worse. -- Want To Help Dear Want: Your mother’s doctor should have tested her for ex-ecutive functioning, which is probably a different test than the one he administered. However, it still may have been possible for her to pass any test if she was feeling OK that day and not under any stress. Your mother could benefi t from seeing a geriatrician, and we recommend you have a referral handy for the next time she is con-cerned enough about her memory that she is amenable. Dear Annie: My heart went out to “Worried Woman,” the 54-year-old woman who has no family or friends. Please tell her to contact the Red Hat Society, an international organization for women of any age, single or married. The goal is friendship and fun. We wear red hats and purple clothes to all of our activities, including outings, dinners and travel. She can fi nd a chapter in her area by searching redhatsociety.com. -- M.L.
