LACONIA — Without dis-sent, the Belknap County Con-vention, consisting of the 18 state representatives elected in the county, approved the request of the publicly owned Gunstock Mountain Resort to

Gunstock’s cash flow improved by new summer attractionsborrow $800,000 to sustain its cash flow until February, when it banks receipts from the ski season.

Each year the resort, which books the bulk of its revenue between January and April, secures so-called revenue anticipation note (RANs) in the

late summer and early fall. The $800,000 note is $400,000 less than the $1.2-million borrowed last year last year to finance construction of the Area Road Bridge, and the least borrowed since 2003.

General Manager Greg God-dard told the convention that the

reduced borrowing reflected the improved cash position of the resort following the most profit-able ski season in its history as well as the stronger cash flow generated by Gunstock Moun-tain Adventure Park during the summer months.

LACONIA — As promised several years ago, work began to reno-vate and repair the his-toric Hathaway House at 1106 Union Avenue yesterday under the watchful eye of City Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6).

A crew from St. Miguel Contractors, a Massachusetts firm, pressure washed the outside of the build-ing, shored up a buck-led porch and began scraping the peeling paint. Ultimately the building will be repainted in colors to match those on it today.

Cafua Manage-ment Company, LLC of North Andover, Massachusetts, which purchased the prop-erty where it built a Dunkin’ Donuts store on the southern part of the lot, is paying for the work. Originally the firm planned to demolish the Hath-away House and replace it with a strip mall, but in response to pleas from con-cerned residents and city officials agreed to build only the Dunkin’

NEWFANE, Vt. (AP) — National Guard helicopters rushed food and water Tues-day to a dozen cut-off Vermont towns after the rainy remnants of Hurricane Irene washed out roads and bridges in a deluge that took many people in the landlocked New England state by surprise.

“As soon as we can get help, we need help,” Liam McKinley said by cellphone from a mountain above flood-stricken Rochester, Vt.

Up to 11 inches of rain from the weekend storm turned placid streams into churn-ing, brown torrents that knocked homes off their foundations, flattened trees and took giant bites out of the asphalt across the countryside. At least three people died in Vermont.

“I think that people are still a little shell-shocked right now. There’s just a lot of dis-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Limited in his ability to create jobs through direct spend-ing, President Barack Obama is consid-ering measures to encourage the private sector to free up its cash reserves and hire more workers to ease the nation’s unem-ployment crush.

As Obama prepares to unveil a new jobs agenda next week, his aides are reviewing options that would provide tax incentives to employers who expand their payrolls. That approach is a more indirect effort to spur the economy and relies less on gov-ernment intervention and massive public

HEISHA, Libya (AP) — Libyan rebels say they’re closing in on Moammar Gadhafi and issued an ultimatum Tuesday to regime loyalists in the fugitive dictator’s home-town of Sirte, his main remaining bastion: sur-render this weekend or face an attack.

“We have a good idea where he is,” a top rebel leader said.

The rebels, tighten-ing their grip on Libya after a military blitz, also demanded that Algeria return Gad-hafi’s wife and three of his children who fled there Monday. Granting asylum to his family, including daughter Aisha who gave birth in Algeria on Tuesday, was an “enemy act,” said Ahmed al-Darrad, the rebels’ interior minister.

Rebel leaders insisted they are slowly restoring order in the war-scarred capital of Tripoli after a week of fighting, includ-ing deploying police and collecting garbage. Reporters touring Tripoli still saw chaotic scenes, including desperate motorists stealing fuel from a gas station.

In the capital’s Souk al Jumma neighbor-hood, about 200 people

Helicopters rush food & water to cut-off Vermont townsbelief on people’s faces. It came through so quickly, and there’s so much damage,” Gail Devine, director of the Woodstock Rec-reation Center, said as volunteers moved furniture out of the flooded basement and shoveled out thick mud that filled the cen-ter’s two swimming pools.

As crews raced to repair the roads, the National Guard began flying in supplies to the towns of Cavendish, Granville, Han-cock, Killington-Mendon, Marlboro, Pitts-field, Plymouth, Rochester, Stockbridge, Strafford, Stratton and Wardsboro. The Guard also used heavy-duty vehicles to bring relief to flood-stricken communities still reachable by road.

The cut-off towns ranged in population from under 200 (Stratton) to nearly 1,400 (Cavendish).

“If it’s a life-and-death situation, where

someone needs to be Medevac-ed or taken to a hospital, we would get a helicopter there to airlift them out, if we could get close to them. A lot of these areas are mountainous areas where there may not be a place to land,” said Mark Bosma, a spokesman for Vermont Emergency Management.

There were no immediate reports of anyone in dire condition being rescued by helicopter.

But it took a relay operation involving two ambulances and an all-terrain vehicle to take a Killington woman in respiratory distress to a hospital in Rutland, about 13 miles away, after floodwaters severed the road between the two communities, Rut-land Regional Medical Center President Tom Hubner said. The patient, whose name was not released, was doing fine, he said.

Obama’s new economic plan looks to spur private sector hiringworks projects.

Among the proposals circulating in the White House is a $33 billion tax credit that Obama first proposed early last year but that Congress whittled into a smaller one-year package.

Under one version of the plan, employers would receive a tax credit of up to $5,000, subtracted from their share of federal pay-roll taxes, for every net new hire. White House officials caution that the overall jobs plan is still subject to change.

The tax credit, however, is a relatively untested idea. Congress passed a version

in March 2010, known as the HIRE Act, which provided $13 billion in tax credits to qualified employers who hired new work-ers. But there is no government data to track its success.

“The HIRE Act was very small,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics and an occasional adviser to Democrats and Republicans. “It really didn’t add to payrolls.”

“It would have to be bigger,” he added. “Something more along the lines that the Obama administration proposed in 2010.”

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire recorded its fi rst storm-related death, power was slowly return-ing for thousands, and a number of parks remained closed Tuesday because of fl ooding, as offi cials switched their focus to recovery two days after Trop-ical Storm Irene pushed though the state.

“We’re getting out of response mode and into recovery mode,” said Jim Van Dongen, a spokesman for the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. “We’re going to be looking to fi nd how many homes were damaged, what kind of losses people suffered.”

Offi cials say they hope to have power restored to all customers in a few days. As of Tuesday afternoon, about 25,000 customers were still without power,

CONCORD (AP) — Members of the labor union representing most of New Hamp-shire’s 11,000 state workers have ratifi ed a contract that saves the state $50 million and avoids 500 layoffs.

The State Employees’ Association said the two-year agreement will preserve critical public services at a great cost to union members’ per-sonal fi nances.

The contract contains no cost of living raises and increases workers’ share of health care costs. It also includes seniority provisions in personnel rules that the Republican Legislature suspended in the state budget.

The state budget required Gov. John Lynch to save $50 million in personnel costs, with $20 mil-lion coming from state funded accounts, and to implement the savings by Sept. 1. Otherwise, the governor had to cut labor costs by Dec. 1.

The union announced the ratifi cation Monday night.

Union of N.H. state workers approves contract to save taxpayers $50M

N.H. measures damage from Irene; Wolfeboro man is lone fatality reported

down from a high of about 175,000 homes and businesses.

A Wolfeboro man died Monday from injuries suffered while clearing

tree damage during the storm. Offi cials say the man was about 30 years old.

Fire Chief Philip Morrill of the Wolfeboro Fire Rescue Department said the man was one of two who were seriously injured Sunday while cleaning up tree damage. The other man was about 60. Res-cuers called at 12:15 p.m. that day found the men entangled in tree debris.

Morrill said the birch tree was about 10 inches in diameter. Both men were taken to Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro and later taken to other hospitals. The condition of the 60-year-old man was not immedi-ately known Tuesday.

Offi cials didn’t identify the men.State emergency offi cials say they had not received

word of any other storm-related deaths.All parks were closed in the state as of Satur-

day night and were being reopened as conditions allowed. Flooding and washed-out roads were the main obstacles to some, such as Crawford Notch State Park, where a bridge on Route 302 in Hart’s Location was heavily damaged.

The White Mountain National Forest reopened Tuesday, although some roads and trails were still closed because of hazardous conditions. Forest offi -cials said visitors might want to wait a few days before heading there.

Forest spokeswoman Tiffany Benna said about 40 percent of major roads and sites have been assessed.

Steve Jobs told us what we wanted

“It’s not the consumers’ job to know what they want” — Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs didn’t make his bil-lions shorting stocks, feeding off the taxpayers or simply being around when a rich relative died. The col-lege dropout from California mixed technology with popular culture and brilliant marketing to make hand-some products that I and millions others didn’t know we wanted — but had to have. I’ve bought enough of them to gild at least one bath-room fixture on Jobs’ estate. Steve, it was my pleasure.

I also own 50 shares of Apple stock, something I should disclose right off.

Having started out in the PC world, I did come to know what I didn’t want: a house full of compli-cated electronics requiring a night course to operate. When something went wrong with the innards, I’d have to hire someone who charged by the hour to solve the problem, and the hours piled up.

If I tried to deal with PC support on the phone, the techies would ask inscrutable questions. When I answered “What?”, they might emit a geeky sigh (which seemed to say, “I can see you’re a nice person, but gosh”). Some may have deemed me unworthy of that divinely conceived device, packed with amazing capa-bilities that I’d never figure out. Here’s the final straw that sent me into the arms of Apple:

I had an expensive PC laptop that went haywire after about 10 months. To resolve the problem, I had to: spend three hours on the phone, being transferred from call centers in Asia to Europe and back again; write down long case num-bers and repeat them to each new support person; deal with contradic-tory information; and try to under-stand people who barely spoke English.

I finally lost my temper and was sent to an American who stuck with me as we tried to identify the “issue.” I ended up driving the

laptop to some computer fix-it shop, which took a week to replace the hard drive.

The operating system software was reinstalled, but not before a struggle (more call centers) over whether I had to pay Microsoft for it and, if so, how much. The computer had come with Windows installed, so there were no CDs.

When there’s a problem with my iPhone, iMac, MacBook or MacBook Air (no iPad), I go to the Apple store, and a “genius” takes over. When one of my Apples had faulty hardware, the drive was replaced overnight and for no charge. (It took a while to stop feeling that, if I wanted any help, I had to ingratiate myself with a guy at the repair shop for whom I was obviously low-priority.)

Apple has long worked under the solid assumption that consumers would pay more for sleek design, higher quality and superior service. Nothing it makes looks like it fell from a flying saucer.

Throughout his long treatment for pancreatic cancer, Jobs said he’d leave the chief executive post when he could no longer handle it. That time has apparently come.

Few companies are as associated with their founder as is this one, and Apple’s stock price swooned (alas) on news of Jobs’ departure. What-ever happens to Jobs at this point — and I hope he lives a long, long time — Apple the company goes on.

I probably won’t sell my Apple stock as long as the folks in the store keep telling me there are no dumb questions. Perhaps they don’t really believe that. Perhaps they think I’m completely dumb and therefore have the lowest of expectations.

If that’s the case, I don’t care. Thank you, Steve Jobs, for letting me know what I want.

LETTERSCorporatism isn’t capitalism when game is rigged by government

There is a lot of help available for people in little town of Franklin

To the editor,I have heard enough about the “job

creators” and how uncertainty about taxes and deficits is causing them to sit on their money rather than invest in their business. How can people argue this with a straight face? Tax rates are lower now than they have been in half a century, and have been so for almost a decade. So, where are the jobs, already?

Like Warren Buffett, I have never

met a business person who would forgo a profit because he or she wasn’t sure how it would be taxed. The prob-lem is lack of demand -— people have no money, and they are not buying. The uncertainty in the market isn’t about taxes, it’s about whether people will still have their jobs tomorrow (assuming they have one today).

Johan AndersenGilford

To the editor,Thank you so much for printing the

story of Henry and Barb Burns. They are giving people who pay for their own gas to go get food for the hungry. And their are thousands of children and adults in America going hungry. Just in Franklin there are hundreds!

Also, there is a white bus that comes to Franklin every fourth Saturday of the month that parks in the Franklin Savings Bank parking lot from 1:30 to 3 p.m. and has free clothes and food. And there are more wonderful people: call Rise Again; and there is Bread N Roses Kitchen every Monday and Thursday,

a hot meal at the church next to Pea-body Home at 5 p.m.; and there is Twin Rivers Food Pantry on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at St. Judes. There is a lot of help in out little town. For Northfield and Tilton, too!

And there are some great thrift shops also. And the mental health clinic. And the churches. Everyone should be able to get the help they need, no matter what it may be.

Thank you again to you all. And the firemen and police also.

— LETTERS —

To the editor,I never took a great interest in

economics. The sciences and history, political and religious, have always been my interests but since the Enron debacle I started to take note of the ideas and practices out there.

I have to tell you, tax talk and sta-tistics from the right makes my eyes glaze over like I just did a triple shot of Stoly. The truth of the matter is that during Ed Chases “heyday” of the 1950s, the tax rate for the highest earners was much much higher than it is now. Unions were strong and so was the middle class until a short late 1950s recession. Eisenhower then employed Keynesian tactics and successfully ended it. Tax rates for the wealthy were much higher during Nixon, Kennedy, LBJ, Ford, and Reagan, too. America prospered. Reagan was the first to make the mis-take of thinking that we could cut spending and presto! — all is fixed. We got “Black Monday” stock market crash of 1987 from Reagan’s mistakes. The truth of the matter is that after 30 years of the right wing trying to starve the government to death, we need to realize that we have to raise revenue on top of targeted spend-ing cuts. It is the only way out of this mess. Cut-cut-cut is as dumb as think-ing we can drill-baby-drill our way to energy independence.

Do you remember Dick Armey standing up in the U.S. House of Rep-resentatives and declaring the Clin-ton tax increase would be the end of economic prosperity in America? Rais-ing revenue put the nation on track for some of its best economic years ever. Ever! Dick Armey was clueless then and remains that way.

What if we returned the tax rates

of the wealthy to the rates of Eisen-hower or Reagan years? Guess what would happen? The right wing would go off like it was some commie-pinko-socialist plot of class warfare. So Eisen-hower, Nixon and Reagan were left wing taxaholics? Get real. The truth of the matter is that there has been a class war waged and its from the top, not the bottom. A massive redistribution of wealth has occurred in America and its from the working classes to the top. We now have a very third worldish gulf between the rich and poor. Corporations can be good and bad in their ethical con-duct but when a government goes out of its way to wreck the middle class and babysit industrial giants something has to be done to stop it.

Right wing economics is the road to serfdom. One of the main reasons both parents have to work these days in order to make ends meet is that right wing economics have taken over. Wages have been held like a prisoner while our cost of living runs freely.

Folks, corporatism is not capitalism because the game is rigged by the gov-ernment after politicians are bought like cattle. Capitalism doesn’t give corporations special rights and immu-nities. In this time when tax rates are at record lows since the Eisenhower years, the right is still hysterically yelling “taxed enough already”. Its a lie; its a super-sized propaganda pant load. Don’t believe a word the right says about taxing and spending because they obfuscate and deceive by deliberately ignoring the reality that revenue needs to be raised. Their eco-nomic model is unbalanced.

Remember, Mussolini said “fascism should be rightly called corporatism”.

LETTERSOkay, let’s also get rid of jet skis, fishermen, regattas & paddlersTo the editor,

It seems that finding a use of a boat, such as going fast and making some noise, offensive is a good reason to create a law to limit or eliminate that particular use. Add in the perceived, but unsubstan-tiated claim of safety and you get a major-ity of the politicians to see this as a “good” thing to do and vote for it. You might even get the general population of which only a very small percentile even get near a lake to vote in favor of it. A speed limit law will generally pass as it “sounds” like a good and reasonable law. The recent accidents on the lake that people keep referring to have “excessive speed” as a contrib-uting, but not main factor, however the speeds in each case don’t indicate that they were operating above the new speed limits. “Excessive speed” laws have been on the books for generations and cover “fast” speed if the situation calls for it. Excessive speed pertains to going too fast for the con-ditions and environment in which the boat is operating. And for a comparison of boats on the lake to cars on the highway…yes a sports car or any other car is restricted on that small width of road to a limit. However, pedestrians, bicycles and even slow cars are not allowed on that road. Does this mean that you are advocating that we disallow canoes, kayaks, swimmers and similar equivalents on the lake, or certain sections of it?

As for some laws based on offensive use of the lake here are some to con-sider as well.

Those pesky personal watercrafts (PWC’s) that buzz back and forth and spin in circles. Talking about a con-stant noise and making it difficult to navigate on the lake. (Some bodies of water in N.H. already prohibit some of these craft that qualify as Ski Craft.)

Fisherman that go trolling in your swimming area casting at your dock, raft and moored boats…sometimes near your kids when they are swimming.

Big cruisers going by at maximum wake speed tearing apart the shore-line and nearly swamping other boats.

Boats pulling tubes that constantly change direction to whip the tube. This makes navigating across a sec-tion of the lake an exercise in who’s who for the right-of-way and keeping the legal distance.

Sailboat regattas. Have you ever tried to pull your kids tubing while these guys take up your favorite part of the lake?

Canoes, kayaks and the like that paddle directly in front of your dock and in the area that your kids and family are swimming in, making themselves right at home while your family is trying to enjoy a peaceful and tranquil vacation experience.

And while we’re at it let’s get those jets flying into Laconia Airport to route somewhere besides over the lake… talk about obtrusive noise that diminishes your lake enjoyment.

Geez… I almost forgot the motorcy-cles with loud pipes that cruise along the lakeside roads creating noise that echoes off the mountains boarding the lake. Though we know that decibel restrictions have proven difficult and cumbersome to enforce.

As for all your reasons for having a speed limit law Lake Winnipe-saukee… keep them coming. You’re giving me great input and material to use when I approach the politicians to request that they write laws for the suggestions above.

The most dangerous country in the world in the United States

Revenue must be raised & expenses cut or we’ll mimic GreeceTo the editor,

A cautionary tale. Greece started the ball rolling for the mess Europe is in financially now. For years Greece has not taxed the wealthy. From the air you could see the large villas with swimming pools. But the government made no attempt to get them to pay taxes. At the same time they gave more and more pay and fringes to the civil employees. Sound familiar. Now they have gone bankrupt and the northern Europeans who have collected taxes, and controlled com-pensation to the workers, are having to bail Greece out. In return they are demanding that Greece reform their financial house. This means collecting taxes from the wealthy and withdraw-ing benefits to the workers.

The workers are understandably upset and demonstrating against the government, and the wealthy are resisting more taxes. But it is clear that there will not be any other route to avoiding default on the Greek debts to many holders of their bonds, with-

out reforms in their financial system.Our country needs to look at where

we are and whether we want to go the Greek route, or realize that the time has come for all politicians to turn down the rhetoric that got them elected. Revenue must be raises, and expenditures reduced. This means raising taxes on the wealthy individu-als, and closing subsidies for those for which it is just a political give-away. Corporate loopholes need to be eliminated to that they pay what they should. The defense budget must be cut. It is protected by congressmen who have big contracts for unneeded weapons and bases in their districts. There are many savings in weapons systems which we don’t need and can’t afford. Much of this can be cut without reducing our readiness to deal with the kind of threats that we now face.

It is impossible to really reduce our deficit with nibbles here and there. Congress must act very soon.

Kent WarnerCenter Harbor

To the editor,At times I’m dismayed by the reaction

of many people who view the struggles of war as a win-lose proposition. As to Vietnam, many consider that conflict as a loss for the U.S. They shrug it off indifferently. We lost 58,000 brave and dedicated soldiers, not counting the thousands of unseen casualties that suffered broken homes, alcoholism, and eventual suicide. These sad numbers are never discussed!

The Tomkin Bay Resolution that gave us an alibi to use force, but was later rescinded. We had no legal right to be there. When presidents want to pursue a war policy — as we have later experienced, legality is not con-sidered! Legality must be the basis for just and equitable decisions: Whereas in the halls of Congress, it doesn’t exist. Is this the same country you and I grew up in?

We paid a very heavy price for our occupation of Vietnam in lives lost, dis-sension at home, and trillions of tresury expended (borrowed money.) The real losers were the Vietnamese who lost three million people, soldiers and civil-ians alike. Who lost the war? It cer-tainly has to be the country of Vietnam!

How will we measure the final results in Iraq? Will we use the same football analogy: Let’s win this one for the Gipper! We rid the country of a ruthless dictator, in the process we kill 600,000 civilians who were inno-

cent of any crimes against us. It is a bitter pill to swallow — but it is fact! President George W Bush and his administration (all) consorted to scare the country with lies and distortions spreading fear across the country. Fear is a powerful emotion, and they, the conspirators used it cleverly. The public gave tacit approval to bomb-ing and military invasion. Many dis-agreed but were silent, or silenced by powerful people in Washington. Even the church stood by mutely, afraid to upset their parishioners. The gutless Senate voted for military action, with only one senator dissenting: Senator Chafe of Rhode Island. He alone had the guts to say this is wrong! The rest should be indited along with Presi-dent Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against humanity. This so-called war demonstrates the invasive nature of a super-strong military into every phase of our lives.

The most dangerous country in the world is the United States. We must be vigilant to harness its energy to useful purposes and stay out of mid-dle-eastern countries and their inter-nal divisions.

I exhort you to do all you can to bring all the troops home by the end of the year. The Republican Party continues to support an aggressive war policy. Our voices must be heard over theirs!

LETTERSGluten-free can be a profi table addition to any restaurant menuTo the editor,

At the age of three I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, an auto-immune disease which is estimated to affect as many as 3-million Americans. Celiac Disease is an intolerance to gluten which is found in wheat, rye, and barley. Celiac can strike any one, at any time.

With Celiac, gluten damages the inner lining of the small intestine, and inhibits the body’s proper processing of all foods. Once the digestive tract is damaged, the body cannot absorb required nutrients. If Celiac is not diagnosed and treated, many serious health problems can arise. Celiac is a life-long disease and there is no medi-cal treatment. The only treatment is dietary – committing to a gluten-free diet at all times.

Over the last 10 years, more and more gluten-free products have become available making Celiac simple to cope with at home. However, one problem I have always had with Celiac is eating out. Some restaurants have done much better than others adapting their menus for food intol-erances and allergies. Fratello’s Res-taurant has gone above and beyond with their gluten-free menu offering gluten-free pizza crusts and gluten-free pasta dishes (pizza and pasta are both traditional heavy-gluten foods). A menu with gluten-free options as complete and well put together as Fratello’s is not common and requires the storage of gluten-free products as well as extra employee training to avoid contamination.

One of the things that I believe pre-vent many restaurants from creating gluten-free menu items is the prob-lem of contamination. Although con-tamination can be a problem, nothing

has to be guaranteed gluten-free. A simple disclaimer can say something along the lines of “We try our best to avoid contamination but because our kitchen handles fl our we can not guarantee any product on this menu to be completely gluten-free.”

Another problem with offering gluten-free options is food cost; some gluten-free ingredients are expensive. People who eat gluten-free are used to a fair premium, and understand the need for this. In addition, restaurants can generate more overall business by offering gluten-free options. I live in a family of fi ve. I am the only person with Celiac but if we are going out to dinner we will choose a restaurant like Fratello’s where I have gluten-free options. So in my case when I go out to eat with my family, the res-taurant is not only profi ting from my order, but all fi ve of our meals.

I understand that not all restau-rants are willing to carry a large stock of gluten-free products. However, many meals are normally prepared gluten-free, or can easily be. One way for restaurants to accommodate for Celiac is to come up with a symbol they put next to menu items that are prepared gluten-free or can be modi-fi ed to be gluten-free. (I have seen this symbol system used in several restau-rants in the Western U.S.)

Accommodating for Celiac is not diffi cult. And with many more people becoming aware of Celiac and gluten intolerance, gluten-free can be a prof-itable addition to any restaurant menu.

Yes, it matters that diversity on our food species is diminishingTo the editor,

What’s on your plate? If you are eating bread, potatoes, apples, chicken, or eggs, chances are a very narrow selection of varieties is rep-resented on your plate. Over the past few decades, corporations have focused on a few select varieties that

meet the needs of the industrialized food production system. For example, where once there were over 7,000 varieties of apples grown in the U.S., many of them selected specifi cally for the region where they were grown, perhaps only 200 remain. In the gro-

cery store, our choices are even narrower, with 5 or 6 apple varieties dominating the market.

Does it matter that the diversity of our food plant and animal species is diminishing? Yes, because that lack of diversity creates great vulnerabilities in the food system. A well-known historical example is the Irish potato famine, which led to mass starvation and migration. That was the result of over-reliance on one potato variety, which was highly susceptible to the late blight fungus. Today, wheat is one of the highly vulnerable crops. A new strain of stem rust is spreading across the globe, know as Ug99. Ninety percent of the world’s wheat is defenseless against Ug99. It is in Africa, Iran and soon will be spread throughout Asia. Apparently just a few spores car-ried on the shoes of an airplane passenger could introduce Ug99 to the U.S., affecting one billion dol-lars worth of wheat.

The good news is that there are people working to preserve the diversity we need to ensure our future food supply. Some of these efforts are on a massive, world-wide scale, like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway. Here in the U.S. we have Seed Savers Exchange, where people send seeds to be stored in order to preserve them. Now, seed banks are even sprouting up in regions or cities, such as the Santa Cruz Seed Library in Santa Cruz, CA. Others are raising heirloom cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens, reintroducing some breeds that were at the brink of extinction. Still others are experiment-ing with ancient grains, learning how to grow them

in different parts of the world or re-establishing them in their native lands.

There are even things we can do as individuals to help maintain this diversity. If you garden, grow heir-loom varieties of fruits and vegetables, to maintain and expand the demand for these varieties. Learn to save your own heirloom seeds, which you can easily do for many vegetable crops. If you keep chickens, select breeds that have been identified as at risk of extinc-tion. As a consumer, seek out the heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables, which are often available at farmstands and farmers markets. (See the July 2011 issue of National Geographic for more information about heirloom seeds/animals and their importance to the future of the world food supply.)

Supporting local farmers and keeping local farms going is important as well, because historically it has been the local farmers who select and develop new varieties of plants that are particularly suited to their region. These varieties tend to be hardier and require fewer pesticides/fungicides/fertilizers in order to thrive.

There are many things we can do to strengthen our local food supply, and increase our food security. Please consider attending “What’s on Your Plate? A Community Conversation about Our Lakes Region Food System”, on Friday, September 30, 6 p.m. at the Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center.

CONCORD — A judge yesterday approved the sale of 14 Borders leases to Books-A-Million, clearing the way for the Alabama-based bookstore chain to replace the Borders on Fort Eddy Road in Concord.

Borders, which began liquidating its 399 remain-

Alabama-based book store chain buys lease for Border’s store in Concording stores last month, sought permission to sell the unexpired leases to Books-A-Million for more than $934,000. A bankruptcy judge in New York approved the deal yesterday after Borders sorted out objections, including some raised by landlords, Dow Jones Newswires reported.

The 14 leases include two New Hampshire stores,

Concord and West Lebanon, as well as stores in Con-necticut, Maine and other states, according to court filings. The Concord lease — 31,000 square feet rented from Staples, which occupies the other half of the building at 76 Fort Eddy Road — runs until March 31, 2014.

Books-A-Million intends to open stores in the 14 spaces that will be similar to the stores they replace, according to a court filing describing the deal. The chain now operates about 230 stores mostly in the southeast.

It wasn’t clear if the companies had closed on the sale. Terry Finley, who yesterday was named Books-A-Million’s president and chief operating officer, didn’t return a message seeking information about the chain’s plans. A Borders spokeswoman declined to comment.

Dow Jones reported Books-A-Million expects to take over the leases by Sept. 20, citing a lawyer for Borders. Going-out-of-business sales at all Borders locations are expected to wrap up by the end of Sep-tember.

This is the second time Books-A-Million has tried to move into Concord after Borders, which declared bankruptcy earlier this year, began to liquidate last month.

In the first attempt, Books-A-Million sought to buy 30 stores from Borders, including the Concord and West Lebanon locations, as their going-out-of-business sales began. The deal was approved by a judge but fell apart when the companies weren’t able to agree on terms.

The second attempt emerged last week, when Bor-ders and Books-A-Million struck a deal for the 14 leases and asked the bankruptcy court for its blessing.

If Books-A-Million does open in the current Bor-ders space, it means Concord will continue to be home to at least one big-chain bookstore, and Fort Eddy Plaza will avoid a large and prominent retail vacancy.

At Gibson’s Bookstore on South Main Street, “business went up as soon as the liquidation was announced,” said owner Michael Herrmann. But, he said, it was always a possibility that Barnes & Noble or Books-A-Million would move into the Bor-ders space and offer competition.

“People have to vote with their dollars for the kind of Concord they want to have,” Herrmann said. “And as long as we do our things right, we think people should vote for a vibrant downtown with an inde-pendent bookstore that’s here for the long haul.”

Donuts building and preserve the Victorian land-mark. In 2008, when the Planning Board approved the project, Gregg Nolan, director of development and construction for the company, volunteered to paint the Hathaway House and fi t it with fi re alarm and suppression systems.

“He said they would fi x it when they could,” Bolduc said yesterday, “and here they are. It was only a matter of scheduling.” He said that Nolan, for whom he had nothing but praise, assured him that once the com-pany addressed the Dunkin’ Donuts outlets in need of renovation, work would begin on the Hathaway House. “It took a while,” Bolduc conceded, “but he kept his word and they fi nally got around to it.”

Cafua is the largest Donkin’ Donuts franchisee in the Northeast.

The Hathaway House was built in 1870 by Squire Clark, a local attorney who aspired to become gov-ernor and intended it as his offi cial mansion. The ghost of his daughter Clarabelle is said to stalk its halls. The late Constance St. Clair, who owned and operated a clothing store in the building, described it as “one of the fi nest examples of Victorian architec-ture in the state,” worthy of a place on the National Register of Historic Places. More recently the home housed a restaurant, Summerfi elds, which operated from the barn on the property until it was destroyed by fi re and Stargaze Pool & Spas, which moved to new quarters.

The prospect that the Hathaway House would be demolished prompted the establishment of the city’s Heritage Commission, together with an ordinance regulating the demolition of historic structures.

Workers from St. Miguel Contractors set to work repairing the Hathaway House and preparing it to be repainted yesterday. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/ Michael Kitch).

was willing to accept all the responsibility. However, she was driven by what she called “a calling that I received from the Lord,” and she wasn’t about to give up.

So, she approached the ministerial organizations of the region as a whole. Hands Across the Table is the result. The group, which has fi led for non-profi t status with the Internal Revenue Service, draws from nearly every local religious organization and many non-secular, civic groups to put on the Tues-day evening meals. St. John Episcopal Church was selected as the location because it’s within walking distance for many apartments typically rented by modest-income families.

Though there are common denominators each week – for example, Irene Gordon from Temple B’Nai Israel and mason Lou Gaynor run the kitchen – a different church or civic organization sponsors each meal and pays for the food, typically at a cost of two or three dollars per diner. For example, Tuesday night’s meal, pulled pork with corn on the cob and salad, was sponsored by the Weirs United Methodist

Church and Girl Scout Troop 10237.Costs to put on the dinners have been defrayed

by donated vegetables from Moulton Farm and ice cream from JB Scoops. All meals are peanut-free and vegetarian options are offered. Many diners choose to have a second helping of the meal and, when there’s food left over, its sent home for guests to enjoy later.

Although Ringleb hopes the meals are helpful for those experiencing fi nancial hardships, she said the organization welcomes anyone who wishes to join in. That includes those who would like to simply share a meal with someone.

“We wanted it to be a comfortable environment for everyone that walks through the door,” Ringleb said. The round tables are set with tablecloths, metal silverware and real plates, a vase of fl owers in the middle. Her favorite comment is when someone tells her that they feel like they’ve been a dinner guest at a friend’s home.

“That’s how our guests feel, like they’re really our guests,” Ringleb said. “The fellowship is really great, it’s like a family in here.”

Two members of that “family” since the fi rst week are Jan Beaudoin and Virginia Bombard, friends who live on the same street in Lakeport. The Hands Across the Table dinners have given them a chance to meet new people. “We like the idea of sharing with other people,” said Beaudoin.

“It’s a good night out,” said Bombard, who noted that she has recommended the event to relatives of hers, who have also started attending.

“Everyone is welcome,” said Ringleb. Seeing so many in the community accept her invitation to come to dinner has been “overwhelming,” almost lit-erally so. With the rate that attendance has grown,

In particular, Goddard touted the success of the Aerial Treetop Adventure course, which drew between 150 and 170 patrons on weekdays and more than 200 on weekends for a total of more than 7,000 so far this summer. The attraction returned income of $280,000. Likewise, he said that the success of the Mountain Segway Tours, which sold out most days and earned $59,000, prompted plans to enlarge the fleet next year.

it seems likely that participation will soon exceed the 125-person capacity of the St. James parish hall. If that limit is reached, organizers are planning to offer multiple seatings.

Hands Across the Table dinners will be offered every Tuesday evening, year-round. Doors are opened at 5 p.m.

With more attractions and diverse events in the summer, Goddard said that revenue from camp-ground fees, boat rentals and miniature golf tickets increased while lift rides to the top of the mountain climbed 20-percent.

The lone disappointment, Goddard conceded, was the ZipTour, which was scheduled to open in July but has been delayed until September by engineer-ing and construction issues. Since the attraction was announced, Goddard said “the phones have been ringing off the hook and we expect it will be a rous-ing financial success.”

Goddard explained that as revenues from summer attractions and events, like the Hill Climb, Soulfest and craft festival, increase the annual borrowing against revenue from the ski season will diminish.

Representative Colette Worsman (R-Meredith) lauded Goddard and the Gunstock Area Commis-sion for their management of the recreational area, which she stressed has lessened the burden and risk for property taxpayers throughout the county.

LACONIA — The two men who hold the mortgage for the landmark Weirs Beach hotel and restaurant destroyed by fire last September, have filed paper-work to intervene in the city’s suit against Wide Open Saloon owner Brandi Baldi.

Andre Skonieczny and Alfred Mitchell have also filed a similar request to intervene or protect their assets in Baldi’s suit against Lloyds of London, her insurer that, so far, has denied her fire insurance claim, saying the sprinkler system was not operat-ing according to the terms of their policy with her.

The motions to intervene in the two separate suits were filed in Belknap County Superior Court five days before the city of Laconia’s Sept. 1 deadline to respond to Baldi’s appeal of a lower court judge’s order to demolish the former Wide Open Saloon.

The essence of Skonieczny and Mitchell’s attempt to intervene is to protect their investment as lien holders for the Wide Open Saloon. According to the Belknap County Register of Deeds, Mitchell and Skonieczny bought the former Weirs Beach Smoke House, the businesses former name, from DLT Real Estate, LLC on Jan. 13, 2010 for $350,000.

The same day, they flipped the property to Baldi under her limited liability company — 38 Endicott Street North — for $450,000. In their initial motions in the Laconia District Court demolition proceed-ings, they contended they were expediting the fore-

closure on the property.Former DLT owner and restaurateur Deb Tomey

died of smoke inhalation in a fire at her home in Meredith in March of 2010.

In late May, Judge Jim Carroll of the Laconia District Court ordered Baldi to demolish the build-ing on or before June 15. She appealed his order to Superior Court and began negotiating with the City of Laconia on some of the terms of the demolition.

The nitty gritty of the lawyer-to-lawyer negotia-tions has not been divulged but Laconia City Man-ager Scott Myers said yesterday that the city’s goal is to return the property to productive use both for the benefit of the Weirs Beach business owners, the taxpayers of the the city of Laconia and the visitors who come regularly to the Weirs.

An agreement between the two parties that allows Baldi to do her own demolition and that doesn’t cost the town a lot of money in legal bills is in everyone’s best interest said Myers.

Baldi has filed for a demolition permit, but, at least from the outside, it doesn’t appear that any work has been done. The date of the fire was Sept. 17, 2011 and Myers said she has 12 months from that date to rebuild within the same footprint without having to meet more stringent land use regulations.

The lot is non-conforming as it sits and the “good faith effort” she needs to show to rebuild is to get a building permit. No building permit will be issued until the old structure is demolished.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — U. S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen announced yesterday the Laconia Police Department will share in a $1.8-million policing grant made available to New Hampshire law enforcement.

Laconia’s portion, $21,571, will go toward the pur-chase of a mobile data system to improve the effec-tiveness of police communications.

Police Chief Christopher Adams expressed his thanks to Shaheen and her continual efforts to help

Laconia and said the city police department is grate-ful for the potential upgrade of its radios and com-puter communications.

The biggest grant recipient is the N.H. Depart-ment of Justice that will get $1.3-million toward a variety of programs including drug interdiction, cyber crime, youth crime prevention and the comple-tion of a state-wide integrated criminal justice infor-mation system.

ALTON — Police have charged an Oklahoma man and a Massachusetts woman in connection to an alleged assault in the early morning hours after Old Home Day.

According to police reports, dispatch received a 9-1-1 call at 1:38 a.m. on August 14, reporting that a person

Out-of-state 25-year-olds charged in connection with alleged beating night of Alton Old Home Day

was lying in the roadway on East Side Drive and moaning. A responding officer found a 26 year-old man, bleeding profusely from the head and face. Police said the alleged victim was barely conscious and unable to move. He was treated by Alton Fire personnel and transported to Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro.

Police investigation found that the alleged victim

Chad Wason and Christine Nutton (Alton Police photos)

was walking on East Side Drive with two acquain-tances, 25 year-old Chad Wason of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Christine Nutton, 25 years old, of Andover, Mass. The report states that Wason and the alleged victim became engaged in a physical altercation, which resulted in the injuries to the 26 year-old male. Police allege that

Wason and Nutton left the man, bleeding and in and out of consciousness, in the roadway, where he was at risk of being struck by passing vehicles.

Wason was arrested on the felony charge of 2nd degree assault. Nutton faces the misdemeanor charge of reckless conduct. Both are scheduled to be arraigned on October 6.

LACONIA — Belknap County Finance Director Glen Waring told the county convention and com-mission on Monday that “the county’s financial posi-tion is strong and stable” and projected “a modest budget surplus” at year’s end.

Waring said that of the $9.4-million in projected revenue, exclusive of property tax receipts, $6.6-mil-lion, or more than 70-percent, has been collected. At the same time, expenditures of $17.9-million represent 56-percent of the $32.2-million budgeted. In other words, with 58-percent of year past, reve-nues are ahead of projections and expenditures are behind appropriations.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Waring expected the county would close the year with a surplus of approximately $1-million, divided evenly between excess revenues and reduced expenses.

At the same time, Waring cautioned that if expenses in several departments continue at their current pace the surplus could turn to slight defi-cit. In particular, he referred to the costs of ongoing

County might end year with a $1-million surpluslitigation and legal claims, higher than anticipated provider assessments at the nursing home, and increase in Medicare enrollment and greater use of rehabilitative services. Meanwhile, the costs of snow plowing and heating fuel could exceed budgeted amounts.

The total county budget for 2011 is $32.2-million, of which $14-million is funded by property taxes.

NOTE: The Belknap County Commission approved the purchase of a new administrative soft-ware system at a cost of $181,528, virtually all of which will be defrayed by the $178,000 of federal funds allocated by the American Recovery and Rein-vestment earlier this month. County Administrator Debra Shackett said that the current system, which was last upgraded five years ago, is cumbersome to navigate and limited in scope. The new system, Shackett, said will eliminate duplicative record-keeping and reporting, which in turn will increase productivity, enhance accountability and provide more versatile and transparent reporting. Tyler Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, was chosen from among several vendors.

PLYMOUTH — Just hours after parts of the Hol-derness campus were underwater from the effects of Tropical Storm Irene, Plymouth State University and surrounding communities welcomed thousands of students on Tuesday for the start of classes in a mid-week Move In Day.

Move In is traditionally held on the Sunday before classes begin, but because of the threat of weather related problems from the storm it was postponed from Sunday to Tuesday. Those precautions proved appropriate when heavy rains pushed the Pemigewa-sett River over its banks, eventually flooding the PSU athletic complex and Route 175-A in Holderness.

PSU President Sara Jayne Steen was heartened at how incoming students, their families, PSU staff and the community made Move In a success. “The organization that went into making this day go smoothly has been impressive,” said Steen. “People

2,300 students ‘move-in’ at PSU on Tuesdayunderstand the situation, and they’ve been great.”

Nearly 2,300 students and their families arrived beginning early in the morning, with PSU athletic teams and other PSU volunteers already on campus helping students to quickly and efficiently fill the university’s seven residence halls.

Susan Beninati of Salem, N.H., brought her son, Kevin, to Mary Lyon Hall and was thrilled with the help she received. “Having the football team unload everything – it’s the best thing in the world,” Beni-nati said. “It’s always good to come back. We’ve had a good experience here.”

“It’s a great day for the university, with the opti-mism and excitement,” said Steen, who personally greets many students and their families. “The stu-dents are talking about their majors, their classes, and their undergraduate research. We’re all looking forward to a great year.”

“There is still a lot of ground to cover and many unknowns, especially backcountry conditions,” she said.

Van Dongen said shelters housed 59 people overnight Monday — 35 of them hikers who were brought out of the woods.

Route 302 and the Kancamagus Highway are heavily traveled east-west roads in New Hamp-shire’s North Country and are important to tourism. Parts for a temporary bridge on Route 302 in Hart’s Location were on the way, said George Bald, com-

missioner of the Department of Resources and Eco-nomic Development.

“Parts of the Kanc will be opened when possible, so that for fall foliage we expect a loop through the Kanc and Bear Notch Road, which would get people up to the top of the Kanc for foliage scenery,” said Jayne O’Connor, president of White Mountain Attractions, the association that markets the region’s tourist sites. “Someone asked me if the leaves were affected, but they were not since it was an early storm with little wind, and the leaves in August are still firmly

LACONIA — A Gilford man remains in the N.H. State Prison on a parole violation despite prevailing in a recent probable cause hearing for being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon.

The probable cause hearing for Gregory Potter, 29, of 3 Hollow Spur Road in Gilford stretched over two days last week and ended with 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division Judge Jim Carroll deciding the Gilford Police did not present enough evidence at the time to sustain the charge.

All people incarcerated with either high bail or no bail have a right to a probable cause hearing within a specific time from the date of arrest. The hearing determines if the state has enough evidence at the time to go forward with a criminal prosecution.

As a result of Carroll’s ruling, Potter’s bail on the charges of being a felon in possession of a danger-ous weapon stemming from what he claimed was an accidental discharge of gun on Aug. 8 was reduced from $30,000 cash or surety to $1,500 cash bail.

Potter was initially charged with being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, a .22 caliber Der-ringer; felony reckless conduct for allegedly firing the gun in the direction of Route 11; and a B-level mis-demeanor for resisting arrest for allegedly kicking Gilford Police Sgt. Corey O’Connor after O’Connor had placed him in the rear of his cruiser.

Even if Potter is able to raise the $1,500 cash bail for the recent arrest, according to an employee of the N.H. State Dept. of Corrections, he will still be con-fined to the N.H. State Prison for at least 90 days for the parole violation.

Gilford Prosecutor Eric Bredbury said he still plans on taking one charge of being a felon in posses-sion of a deadly weapon to a Belknap County Grand Jury and while Carroll’s ruling is somewhat of a set back, Bredbury is confident the Gilford Police and the Belknap County Prosecutor will be able to suc-cessfully prosecute Potter.

Bredbury said he decided not to prosecute the felony reckless conduct charge because he didn’t

Judge rules Gilford didn’t make probable cause case against man accused of firing Derringer; grand jury next

have enough evidence to sustain it.Testimony elicited from the probable cause hear-

ing indicated police from Gilford, the N.H. State Police, and Laconia responded to Hollow Spur Road around 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 8 after getting a call from someone in the neighborhood who heard someone who lives in Potter’s house say “Don’t pull the trig-ger,” followed by a single gunshot.

According to patrol officer Adam VanSteensburg, the first responding officer, he said he saw a car with its headlights on on Hollow Spur Road across from 3 Hollow Spur Road, where Potter lives with his girl-friend Melissa Havlock. He said the engine was run-ning and the driver’s door was open.

He said he began to approach the car with his weapon drawn when he was joined by N.H. State Trooper Greg Delucca.

He said Havlock came out from the house and was initially ordered back inside while he, Delucca and subsequent responding police from Gilford and Laconia searched the area for an possibly armed suspect.

VanSteensburg also testified he was told the 9-1-1 caller was female but not Havlock.

He said at some point Delucca re-approached Hav-lock who, in his mind, “appeared not to be truthful.”

“How was (Potter) found?” asked Bredbury.VanSteensburg said when Delucca, now accompa-

nied by Laconia Sgt. Michael Finogle, re-approached Havlock, he believed Finogle saw someone run into a back room.

He said he reviewed Delucca’s report and that it indicated he asked Havlock for permission to search the trailer and she gave it, but, under cross exami-nation, VanSteensburg said he had no first-hand knowledge of her consent.

Vansteensburg also testified that he was main-taining a perimeter and he heard DeLucca say, “Let me see your hands.”

He also described Havlock, who has since been charged with one count of obstructing a government agent in his or her duties, was allegedly “completely

112, also have been washed out. Routes 2 and 15 and Interstate 93 were still open in the north.

Access to the White Mountains from the north and south was unaffected, leaving most communi-ties and attractions throughout the area accessible. Interstate 95 and Route 16 bring visitors to Conway and the Mount Washington Valley, while I-93 pro-vides direct access to the western and Franconia

Notch side.Attractions partially or fully open include: Attitash

Washington Auto Road; Polar Caves Park; Santa’s Village; Six Gun City; Story Land; Whales Tale Water Park and Wildcat Mountain. The Hobo Railroad is expected to open by the weekend.

U.S. CREDIT CARD DEBT PER HOUSEHOLD ($)

(Data Source: U.S. Federal Reserve)

ADVERTORIAL

Every three minutes another person falls behind on credit card debt. It’s no wonder, since every major credit card company has nearly doubled the minimum monthly payment on consumers’ bills. Federal Regulators forced the change because of their concern about the growing mountain of consumer debt, which stands at $2.17 trillion. Many consumers can only pay the minimum payment, which can take up to 30 years to pay off. Now, relief is in sight for millions of Americans.

CreditGUARD of America, a non-profit licensed debt management service provider, is making a new program available to lower debt payments and become free of all credit card debt in only three to five years. Consumers need only $2,000 or more in total credit card debt and falling behind on any account, to cut their payment by 35% to 50%, and reduce or eliminate interest charges altogether.

Over 200,000 families, located throughout the U.S. have regained financial indepen-dence with CreditGUARD’s licensed, bonded and insured service. CreditGUARD of America has received high marks in consumer surveys showing high consumer satisfaction and confidence. The CreditGUARD debt management program can lower your monthly payments by hundreds and save you thousands! One such case is Sandra L. who proclaimed “CreditGUARD cut my monthly payment by $656 and saved me over $29,206.53 in interest. They saved my way of life and gave me back my piece of mind! Now I can see myself on my way to becoming debt free.” or Jeffery C. who said “CreditGUARD of America helped me consolidate 3 of my credit cards into one affordable payment. They are now saving me nearly $200 a month. Now I will be debt free in 2 years or less”

uncooperative” and was by this time handcuffed and sitting in the back of his cruiser.

VanSteensburg testified that Det. Chris Jacques and Det. Sgt. Kris Kelley processed the scene and they “located (the gun) in a tool box on 3 Hollow Spur Road where Mr. Potter said it would be.”

Two photos, one showing a Der-ringer laying on some rags in a tool box and a second showing a spent cartridge in the Derringer’s chamber were introduced by Bredbury.

Public Defender Amy Ashworth objected on ground that Bredbury didn’t lay the foundations for the tes-timony because VanSteensburg didn’t take the photos that were introduced nor did he find the gun.

VanSteensburg said his understand-ing was Delucca had found the gun but had left it where is was so the detectives could photograph the scene. He said he saw Jacques cross police lines with a camera around his neck.

Bredbury also produced a photo of a screen with a small round hole in it, saying a bullet from the Derringer made the hole and carried through to a shed behind the house.

Carroll sustained Ashworth’s objec-tion when she said there was no foundation for VanSteensburg’s obser-vation about what made the hole in the screen and the shed.

No bullet was found.Bredbury next asked VanSteens-

burg how the gun accidentally dis-charged and VanSteensburg said that “according to Potter, he took if from the tool box to put it on top and it acci-dentally went off.”

He showed with his hand the height of the tool box but when he referred back to the height of the tool box as it related the the high of the hole in the screen, Ashworth again successfully objected.

Carroll said VanSteensburg could tes-tify that he found a hole in the screen.

Judge Carroll asked Bredbury if he could get one of the detectives who took the pictures to the courtroom and Bredbury said it wouldn’t be possible before day’s end. Carroll adjourned the hearing because of a previous commitment.

The next day, a Thursday, the hear-ing reconvened but neither Jacques nor Kelley were available. Carroll ruled probable cause had not been met and reduced Potter’s bail to $1,500.

CONCORD (AP) — New Hamp-shire’s Democratic Party has agreed to pay $5,000 after prosecutors alleged the party violated a state law last year on sending out pre-recorded political messages.

The law requires the messages state in the first 30 seconds the name of the candidate or any organization the person is calling on behalf of. The attorney general’s office says the mes-sages also should say who’s paying for

N.H. Democrats fined for calls into O’Brien’s districtthem, but that this call didn’t do so.

Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley, whose voice was on the call, says the party never knowingly vio-lated any campaign law. The party believes the script sufficiently identi-fied the information.

The call the day before the state pri-mary drew attention to the fact that Republican Rep. William O’Brien was running for re-election on the GOP and Democratic ballots.

While promising a major jobs pack-age, Obama is hamstrung by budget cuts and a tight debt ceiling that he had a hand in negotiating.

As a result, economists predict that while the president’s initiatives could eliminate some drag on the economy and maintain the status quo, they won’t be enough to propel it to new heights

Still, Obama on Wednesday pre-dicted his plan could push the econ-

omy to grow 1 percent to 1.5 percent faster.

“That could mean half a million to a million additional jobs,” he said Tues-day in an interview with radio talk show host Tom Joyner.

Obama’s jobs package is designed to supplement other proposals already in the pipeline, including free trade agreements with South Korea, Colom-bia and Panama and the renewal of a highway construction bill.

BOSTON (AP) — CC Sabathia snapped out of his Red Sox funk, striking out 10 in six innings to beat Boston for the first time in five tries this season and lead the New York Yankees to a 5-2 victory on Tues-day night.

The win was the Yankees’ third in 13 games against their AL East rival this season. Boston still leads the division by one-half game.

Sabathia (18-7) had been dominant against the rest of baseball this year, but 0-4 with a 7.20 ERA against the Red Sox. He threw a season-high 128 pitches, allowing two runs on 10 hits and two walks.

John Lackey (12-10) allowed five runs — four earned — on seven hits and four walks, striking out three. Nick Swisher had three hits, and Francisco Cervelli hit a solo homer in the fifth.

Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth for his 35th save.When Cervelli came up again in the seventh,

Lackey hit him in the back, sparking a bench-clearing staredown. In the first inning, Curtis Granderson took one off the end of the bat — or the hand, depending on whom you believe — and then Sabathia plunked Jacoby Ellsbury to lead off the bottom half.

Sabathia finally solves Red Sox, N.Y. wins 5-2After getting hit, Cervelli moved toward the

mound as the dugouts slowly emptied and home plate umpire Ed Rapuano tried to maintain order. There was nothing more than jawing back and forth, and in the end Yankees pitching coach Larry Roth-schild was ejected.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi watched the final out from the clubhouse. He was tossed after Rivera hit Jarrod Saltalamacchia with two outs in the ninth.

The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the second and made it 3-0 in the fourth when Robinson Cano hit an RBI double and scored on Eric Chavez’s single. After Boston cut the lead to 3-2 on Carl Crawford’s homer and an RBI double by Marco Scutaro, New York added Cervelli’s solo homer in the fifth and Derek Jeter’s run-scoring double play in the seventh that made it 5-2.

The Red Sox had 13 hits in all, but Saltalamac-chia stranded seven and Adrian Gonzalez stranded five; each struck out three times. It was also a rough day at the plate for Jorge Posada, who left five men on and grounded into a pair of double plays, and Jeter, who returned after missing two games with a bruised kneecap, grounded out five times.

In Rochester, where telephones were out and damage was severe, people could be seen from heli-copters standing in line outside a grocery store. McKinley said the town’s restaurants and a super-market were giving food away rather than let it spoil, and townspeople were helping each other.

“We’ve been fine so far. The worst part is not being able to communicate with the rest of the state and know when people are coming in,” he said.

He said government agencies did a good job of warn-ing people about the storm. “But here in Vermont, I think we just didn’t expect it and didn’t prepare for it,” he said. “I thought, how could it happen here?”

Wendy Pratt, another of the few townspeople able to communicate with the outside world, posted an update on Facebook using a generator and a satel-lite Internet connection. She sketched a picture of both devastation and New England neighborliness.

“People have lost their homes, their belongings, businesses ... the cemetery was flooded and caskets were lost down the river. So many areas of complete

devastation,” Pratt wrote. “In town there is no cell service or internet service - all phones in town are out. We had a big town meeting at the church at 4 this afternoon to get any updates.”

“Mac’s opened up at 5 and gave perishables away to anyone who came,” she added. “The Huntington House put on a big, free community dinner tonight.”

Access to Rochester and Stratton by road was restored later in the day, officials said.

All together, the storm has been blamed for at least 44 deaths in 13 states. More than 2.5 million people from North Carolina to Maine were still without electricity Tuesday, three days after the hurricane churned up the Eastern Seaboard.

While all eyes were on the coast as Irene swirled northward, some of the worst destruction took place well inland, away from the storm’s most punishing winds. In Vermont, Gov. Peter Shumlin called it the worst flooding in a century. Small towns in upstate New York — especially in the Catskills and the Adirondacks — were also besieged by floodwaters.

pounded on the doors of a bank, demanding that it open. Civil servants said they were told they would receive a 250-dinar (about $200) advance on their salaries for the three-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which starts Wednesday in Libya.

Rebel fighters were converging on the heavily mil-itarized town of Sirte, some 250 miles (400 kilome-

ters) east of Tripoli.The rebels gave pro-Gadhafi forces there a dead-

line of Saturday — the day after the end of the Muslim holiday — to complete negotiations and sur-render. After that, the rebels will “act decisively and militarily,” said Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the head of the rebels’ National Transitional Council.

OBITUARIES

Catherine Anne Consentino, 86ALTON — Catherine Anne Consentino, 86, of

Main Street, died at her home Monday, May 30, 2011. She was the widow of Salvio Lucius Consen-tino.

Mrs. Consentino was born December 31, 1924 in Lawrence, Mass., the daughter of Giuseppe and Filomena (Yemma) Cirieco. She lived in Salem, N.H. for 63 years before moving to Alton eight months ago. She and her husband founded and owned Rock-ingham Wood Craft for over fifty years and was a member of the Northeast Lumberman’s Associa-tion. Mrs. Consentino was a communicant of Mary, Queen of Peace Church, Salem, N.H. , for which she did much fundraising at the inception of the parish.

Perhaps entering this world as a tiny, premature infant gave Catherine the strength and determina-tion that she needed, and drew upon, all her life. She was a “force of nature” from the very beginning. From persevering under difficult circumstances to obtain her high school diploma to achieving very high levels of “piece work” productivity at her first job at Stillman Shoe Company of Lawrence, Mass, she unfailingly got the job done! She met and mar-ried her husband of fifty years soon after World War II and together they began a small woodworking shop which became Rockingham Woodcraft, Inc, a renowned building supply shop on Rt. 28, when it was quite a remote area. Their business venture was the epitome of the American Dream as they built a combination shop and small home and added on to both as family and business grew together.

All the while, Catherine worked in the shop, did the bookkeeping and raised five children, in whom she instilled a strong work ethic. She kept an immac-ulate home and constantly provided huge, wonder-ful meals. Her hospitality enveloped everyone, from vendors and customers to her large extended family. Known as “Mona” and “Gram” to the spouses of her children, she always included all of their families as well. There were always a dozen different pies at Thanksgiving, and lots of various Italian cookies homemade for Christmas. Her spirit of hospitality was with her, even to the end of her life.

The family went on several camping trips across this country... five kids, a dog, a station wagon and a simple “pop-up” camper... in the days before “ameni-ties” and air-conditioning. Many lifelong memories were made and are still frequently shared among the family. Catherine and her husband, Sam, also made many trips to Italy (once meeting the Pope), England, China and many other countries through-out the years. She always garnered a bell for her impressive collection from each destination.

Her hobbies included gardening, for which she received many awards. She also raised a large number of different kinds of orchids. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting and quilting. She made gorgeous afghans and quilts for each of her children, grand-children and great-grandchildren, thereby sharing lovingly created beauty and practical warmth and comfort with each of her loved ones. She was a vora-cious reader, especially of mysteries, and relished Masterpiece Mystery on PBS. She had an elaborate system of feeding the birds in her yard, and attracted many species, including beautiful cardinal “couples”.

Throughout her life, whenever beset by an obsta-cle, her reply was always “no problem”. In addition to her unbeatable work ethic, and her “carpe diem” sense of never wasting a moment, she had a charming sense of humor and fun. One of her favorite things to do in recent years was to visit the “Christmas Tree Shop”. She enjoyed seeing the varied merchandise, and just “loved a bargain”. Happily, she was able to make such a visit just two weeks before she passed away. She always had a strong feeling of gratitude for all of life’s blessings that filled her world. Her unfailing devotion to St. Anthony was legendary and she called upon his intercession constantly on every-one’s behalf. She will be deeply missed by her family.

Survivors include two sons and daughters-in-law, Edward F. & Christine Consentino of Alton and Robert P. and Sharon Consentino of Hampton; two daughters and sons-in-law, Mary Lou & Ronald Kruczynski of Newtown, Penn. and Cathy & David Lenzen of Derry; four grandchildren, Nicole (& Tyler)Whiteside, Phillip (& Susan Laws) Consen-tino, Nicholas (& Katie) Kruczynski and Laura Kruc-zynski; five great grandchildren, Kayley, Nolan & Grady Whiteside, Zoe Kruczynski and Holden Laws Consentino; a brother, Robert Cirieco, of Arcadia, Calif; two sisters, Marie Gentile of Burbank, Calif and Josephine Lovett, of DePoe Bay, Oregon, several nieces and a nephew and a loving companion, Kay Hoben. She was predeceased by a son, Ernest.

There will be a Celebration of Catherine’s life in the fall. Info: (603)875-5678.

Doris E. Mears, 77LACONIA — Doris Ellen Mears, 77, of

765 Union Avenue, died at Lakes Region General Hospital on Sunday, August 28, 2011 after a brief illness. Dorie was the widow of Rev. Robert W. Mears, one of the original founders of New Christian Fel-lowship, now Laconia Christian Fellow-ship. Pastor Mears died in 2002.

Dorie was born December 11, 1933 in Canton, Ohio, the daughter of Clarence and Violet (Luce) Thompson. She resided in Franklin, N.H. for several years before moving to Laconia in 1971.

Dorie was mother to three, but in reality she became a second mother to countless young people in the Lakes Region who looked to her and Bob as spiritual parents. She also had a special love for the elderly, serving them for many years as both a LNA and an activities director in a couple of nursing homes, as a home companion and finally as a home care provider when she opened her own business, Dori’s Senior Care on Meredith Center Road. She cared for elderly resi-dents there for about nine years.

Survivors include two sons, John E. Mears of

Loudon, N.H. and Michael A. Mears of New Zealand; a daughter, Jennifer M. Watson, of Laconia; twelve grandchildren; six great grandchildren and several neph-ews and nieces.

Calling hours will be held on Friday, Sep-tember 2, 2011 from 6:00-8:00 PM in the Carriage House of the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H.

OBITUARIES

Music coming to Autumn’s End stage Sept. 3

Audrey Drake will perform at Autumn’s Edge on Saturday, Septem-ber 3. (Courtesy photo)

SANBORNTON — Known to the townspeople as “the barn that Don built,” Autumn’s End is a beauti-ful barn that recently opened its doors to musicians and music lovers alike.

Built from the ground up in 2006 by New Hamp-shire builder Don Pintacura for his friend who owns the property, the barn opened its doors the following spring for an inaugural community barn dance.

“From that moment the walls came alive,” Pintacura explains, “the acoustics proved to be more than one could expect. I knew then that it was destined for more.”

As the barn evolved, a stage was built inside for local performance, adding to the 150 plus seating and industrial kitchen. Spearheading the musical performance project was local musician Joel Cage; the first of many artists to soon grace the stage.

“This is the year I wanted to find other musicians who would really appreciate performing in this venue and Audrey Drake came to mind,” Pintacura said. “This past August I had the honor of having her on this very stage, giving of her soul to a most attentive live audience.”

“It’s such a beautiful space,” Drake said. “It was magical to play there and this is something that the community will enjoy as well.”

Audrey Drake, along with Peter Lawlor and Neal Zweig, will be returning to the stage on September 3 for a double bill. Phil Henry, winner of the 2011 New Jersey Folk Festival songwriter contest will be round-ing out the show duo, along with his band, Jeff Kimball and Gary Moon on backup vocals and percussion.

In keeping with a non-traditional musical venue, all shows at Autumn’s End suggest a donation at the door or pass the hat to support the musicians. Attend-ees can expect to be delighted by not only a fantastic musical experience, but a taste of fresh from the oven homemade pizza, organic salad and beverages for

sale. Otherwise, guests are welcome to bring their own drink of choice and enjoy a relaxing night out.

Pincatura says food and drink proceeds are donated to the local food pantry.

Autumn’s End is located at 34 Wadleigh Road in Sanbornton. For reservations to any upcoming shows or for more information, call 941-343-7758 or e-mail [email protected].

TILTON — A potluck barbecue, open to the public, will be held at Tilton Island Park on Saturday, Sept. 3 at 1 p.m.

“This is not your average barbecue,” says Louisa Dell’Amico, organizer of the event, who explains that vegan means “No meat, fi sh, dairy, eggs or honey. No animal products, period.”

She says that contrary to popular perception, vegan doesn’t mean a lack of choices. At her pre-vious barbecue at Pines Park in Northfi eld in July, people brought many dishes: Divine burgers (a whole grain burger made in New Hampshire); vegan sau-sage, which she makes herself; veggie shish kebabs; mock tuna sandwiches; lemon rice with raisins and cashews; Boston baked beans; corn on the cob; vegan coleslaw; black bean salad; quinoa salad with chick-peas; potato salad; tomato salad; gluten-free brown-ies; vegan sour cream apple pie; fruit salad and mango sorbet with raspberry sauce.

“We had plenty of local residents attend, several of whom were meat-eaters and were unfamiliar with the term ‘vegan’. They raved about the food, and left feeling happy and well-fed. I didn’t hear anyone wanting for a cheeseburger or ice cream”, said Dell’Amico.

Although Dell’Amico usually promotes healthy, vegan food, she’s making an exception this time for omnivores who are unfamiliar with whole, unprocessed foods and instead is offering some ‘transition’ foods such as Boca burgers and vegan hot dogs. She said that for those for

Public invited to potluck vegan barbecue at Tilton island park on September 3whom the leap to whole foods is too great, she’ll be offer-ing products made from soy and textured vegetable pro-tein that are vegan but highly processed.

She urges people to RSVP with their recipe at [email protected] or to call 729-0248. She says

that to learn more about the health benefi ts of a vegan diet, people can take in the documentary, “Forks Over Knives” at Concord’s Red River Theater which runs for one week, beginning September 9, followed by a panel discussion on the fi rst evening.

GILFORD — Kitchen Cravings, a breakfast and lunch restaurant located on Airport Road, is cele-brating its third year in business on September 6. To mark the occasion, owners Sally and Bill Bickford will donate to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry $3 for each diner that visits the restaurant on the anniversary.

The restaurant donated $2 for each patron on its

second anniversary, which added up to $400. With a few more customers this year, the Bickfords hope they can more than double last year’s donation.

“$1,000 seems a reachable goal, so join Kitchen Cravings Restaurant on Tuesday, September 6, feed yourself and help feed your neighbors. What could be better than that?” the Bickfords said.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are the target of someone’s affec-tion, though you are too immersed in your own needs, desires and wants to notice. This person adores you despite this fact -- or perhaps because of it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you are too enmeshed in another person’s business, it becomes diffi cult to be yourself. You’ll fi nd ways to contain another person’s infl uence over you so that you can peacefully and powerfully coexist. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel like you’ve been caught in a storm. This is an opportunity to see who your true friends are. Fair-weather friends back away at the fi rst thunder-clap. True friends rush to your side with an umbrella. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Though you love to take care of others, do not do this to such an extent that they forget how to take care of them-selves. They’ll only resent you for it later. Respect each person’s need for autonomy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are activities that you can’t really get out of doing, and yet you would rather spend less time on them. You’ll meet just the helpful person to help you remedy the situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are versatile and fl exible. You’ll jump at the chance to do the job that is needed most, even when you’re not so sure you can pull it off. You learn all you need to know en route. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do not give away your attention too easily, or it won’t be valued for the precious commodity it is. Singles: Anyone who hasn’t committed to you does not war-rant your exclusive attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have an extraordinary connection with another person. You are bonded in intangible ways that cannot be detected by your fi ve senses or understood from a worldly perspective. This is a sublime union of spirits. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because you show up at the des-ignated hour doesn’t mean you’re on time. Sometimes the action starts later and sometimes much earlier. Trust your internal sense of timing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You were once highly motivated to complete a job, and now it seems you need constant supervision in order to stay on course. It’s a sign that you need new infl uences and a good excuse to go out and seek inspiration. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A beautiful object can pass as ordinary or even ugly when it’s found in certain conditions. You have the artist’s eye. You will pluck out the object of beauty and return it to its rightful place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is little to be gained from bending over backward to please someone now, especially if what this person really wants is a challenge. Find your edge. You’re going to need it to be smart and wise. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 31). Clever and industrious, you’ll have fun creating opportunity. You’ll conserve resources and fi nd great success recy-cling old items and ideas. October features social visits and information sharing. December brings a notable purchase. Bold self-expression will be your trademark in 2012. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 10, 32, 4 and 46.

PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music, The-atre and Dance at Plymouth State University will present a fundraising concert by Tributary Dance titled “Bud Burst” Sept. 9-10 in the Studio Theatre at the Silver Center for the Arts.

Tributary Dance is New Hampshire’s contem-porary dance company and the newest creative endeavor of Amanda Whitworth, PSU’s director of dance. The company brings together professional dancers from across New England to create mul-timedia performances that are often inspired by Northeast living.

Bud Burst is a choreographic journey through the seasons, where dancers embody emotions, elements, fl ora and fauna in an hour long concert, with a vari-ety of music from classical to electronic and sound scores to vocal interludes.

The troupe has donated its performance fee in order to assist fundraising for the PSU Dance Divi-sion. Ticket sales will support dancer scholarships, guest artist opportunities and travel experiences for University dancers.

Performances are Sept. 9 and 10 at 7 p.m. and Sept. 10 at 2 p.m.

Whitworth, artistic director and founder of Tribu-tary Dance, is a graduate of the New York Univer-sity Tisch School of the Arts. She has performed for companies and choreographers in and around New York City. She has taught hundred of masterclasses and participated in residencies at universities, pri-vate and public schools across the country. She has collaborated with organizations promoting arts education through performance, including PSU’s TIGER professional theatre troupe, the Kearsarge Arts Theater Company (Kat Company), the Educa-tional Theatre Collaborative and the Ninth State Movement Complex.

Whitworth is also a member of the collaborative performance group Terminal Hip Dance Theater which is based in Plymouth. She earned a M.Ed. at Plymouth State University.

Principal dancers with Tributary Dance are:* Tara Holmes, adjunct assistant dance professor

of fi ne and performing arts at Colby-Sawyer College.* Kerri Ann Kudla studied at Dean College, with

an emphasis in modern dance. She has been teach-ing and choreographing for seven years.

* Erin McDonough graduated from Plymouth State University in New Hampshire and teaches at Meredith Bay Dance Academy.

* Kathleen Pantos studied ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, modern and hip hop and furthered her studies at Plymouth State University where she graduated with a B.A. in dance performance and management. At PSU, she earned the Senior Dance Achievement Award.

* Erica Toedt graduated from UMass Amherst with a double major in dance and accounting. She worked for a public accounting fi rm for three years, while continuing to dance. She has recently left that fi eld to pursue her dream of performing.

Dance apprentices with Tributary Dance are Plymouth State University students Tessa Hamza of Westford, Mass.; Brittany Hill of Houlton, Maine; Annamaria Klucevsek of Buzzards Bay, Mass. and Mackenzie Lee Perra of Goffstown.

Tickets for Tributary Dance at Plymouth State University are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and youth, at the Silver Center Box Offi ce, 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I’m recovering from cancer. To thank my hus-band for being so helpful, caring and patient during my treat-ment, I want to give him a nice party for his 30th birthday. He liked the idea and put together a guest list. I mentioned this to my in-laws, and they offered to help. The next thing I know, they’ve insisted on paying for the en-tire party and having it at their house. They also wanted me to invite some of their friends. I told them my husband is not close to these people and I did not intend to invite them. They became upset, saying I was putting them in an awkward situation and they would never be able to explain why these friends weren’t included in this big party. That annoyed me, and I decided to change our plans. I told my in-laws we would now have a much smaller party at my house. It seemed to me that they were making this about them and not about my husband. Now there is tension between us. What should I do? -- Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: Your in-laws overstepped by co-opting your party, and it was perfectly reasonable for you to back out and start over. But it would be a good idea to mend fences. Please tell your in-laws that you greatly appreciate their ef-forts, but you didn’t feel up to the major shindig they had in mind. Promise to cooperate in every way possible should they choose to have a second celebration at a later date. Dear Annie: My daughter is getting married in January. She asked her cousin “Alia” to be the maid of honor. Alia has never cared for any of my daughter’s boyfriends and is making no effort to be part of the plans. She has put off getting her dress and told my daughter it was for fi nancial reasons, but her Facebook page says she got a big raise and a new car.

My daughter was hurt, but said nothing. We both thought it meant Alia wanted out of the wedding, so my daughter told her cousin that she could bow out if it was causing money problems. Apparently, Alia was offended by that. Worse, her mother got involved and started calling my daughter and giving her hell. My daughter told Alia’s mother to mind her own business. I have stayed out of it. Now there are hard feelings within the family, and I feel ter-rible for my daughter. Any suggestions? -- New York Mother Dear N.Y.: We assume the goal is to patch this up before the wedding, so someone needs to apologize. Unfortunately, it’s not likely to be Alia or her mother. Your daughter should call her cousin and tell her she is sorry there has been ill will and misunderstanding on both sides. She should then say, sincerely, that she would still like Alia to be in her wedding party if it isn’t too great a hardship for her. If Alia gets nasty, however, your daughter should calmly tell her that, under the circumstances, it would be best if she stepped down from her bridesmaid responsibilities. Dear Annie: I disagree with your answer to “Danged if I Do and Danged if I Don’t,” whose son and his new wife don’t want her to stay in touch with the ex-wife. They have no business telling Mom whom she can and can-not contact. The ex is the mother of the grandchildren and still part of the family. You don’t know that the new wife won’t change her views. She should be making peace with the fam-ily she married into, not dictating terms -- J.S. Dear J.S.: Of course she should, but it’s naive and unrealis-tic to think the new wife is going to be more accepting of the ex anytime soon. Insecure people are not necessarily intro-spective about their motives. Mom needs to tread carefully if she wishes to maintain a relationship with her son.
