Shaker Board hears pleas to save after-school activities

Stipends, paid to teachers advising the clubs, were cut in face of anticipated budget deficits By gAil oBeR

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT - After getting an earful from a standing room only crowd of voters and students upset about cutting the stipends for after-school or co-curricular activities, the Shaker Regional School Board asked administrators to review the budget in preparation for a special board meeting Monday night.

Residents from Belmont and Canterbury packed last night’s board meeting, most with hopes of restoring the stipends paid to teachers for advising after-school activities.

One by one they stood in the Belmont High School library and told the school board that their children’s education and futures could be irreversibly damaged by a lack of after school activities such as drama, chorus, robotics, honor society, and

math club.

There was also some debate about whether teachers should advise the clubs without pay and discussion of unsubstantiated rumors that the teachers’ union was encouraging its teachers not to volunteer.

“But our teachers are professionals,” said one woman. “No one else works for free.”

SANBORTON — Local apple orchards are filled with ripe early season apples as the pick-your-own season arrives.

The third annual New England Apple Day was celebrated across the region on Wednesday but some people have already made their annual visit to orchards around the Lakes Region, many of which have already opened.

Among the first to open was the Surowiec Farm on Perley Hill here, where Matthew and Abigail Batchelder of Plymouth arrived just before noon on Sunday with their two daughters, Samantha, 4, and Madison, 2, to pick some Paula Reds, which along with Ginger Golds are now ready to pick.

“It’s an old-fashioned family activity that we want to make into a tradition with our children,” says Matthew, a programmer at Plymouth State University and the grandson of former State Supreme Court justice William Batchelder.

Steve Surowiec says that his six acre orchard has a good crop and was hardly touched by Hurricane Irene. He said that by the weekend or early next week Macintosh apples will be ready.

In addition to the early varieties, he also offers Cortland, Macoun, Empire and Honey Crisp, the latter of which is one of his favorites.

“It’s a great apple for eating. Great flavor,” says Surowiec. see U-PiCK page

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Ben & Jerry’s has Schweddy Balls. Would you like a taste?

Chill out, it’s only the name of their new flavor.

Schweddy Balls ice cream is an homage to a 13-year-old “Saturday Night Live” skit featuring Alec Baldwin as bakery owner Pete Schweddy, whose unique holiday offerings included a delicacy called Schweddy balls.

The company’s not worried about offending people with the name, said spokesman Sean Greenwood.

“We’re the caring company,” Greenwood said Thursday. “We never want to do anything that is upsetting for people. We think it’s congruent with our values, in terms of having fun. One of our principles is ‘If it’s not fun, why do it?’”

Other flavors with edgy names — like Karamel Sutra and Half Baked — were irreverent double-entendres, too, he said.

True. But Schweddy Balls?

The new flavor, which was unveiled Wednesday and is being offered in a “limited batch,” consists of vanilla ice cream, a hint of rum, fudgecovered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls. It’s being sold in Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops and supermarkets.

The “SNL” skit, which first aired Dec. 12, 1998, starred Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer as hosts of “Delicious Dish,” a National Public Radio program interviewing Baldwin’s Pete Schweddy character.

Obama asks $450B to lift economy, mostly tax cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — Confronting an economy in peril, President Barack Obama unveiled a larger-than-expected $450 billion plan Thursday night to boost jobs and put cash in the pockets of dispirited Americans, urging Republican skeptics to embrace an approach heavy on the tax cuts they traditionally love. With millions of voters watching and skeptical of Washington, Obama repeatedly challenged Congress to act swiftly.

The newest and boldest element of Obama’s plan would slash the Social Security payroll tax both for tens of millions of workers and for employers, too. For individuals, that tax

has been shaved from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent for this year but is to go back up again without action by Congress. Obama wants to deepen the cut to 3.1 percent for workers.

“This plan is the right thing to do right now,” Obama said after a divided body rose in warm unison to greet him. “You should pass it. And I intend to take that message to every corner of this country.”

In his televised address to Congress, Obama sought to provide a jolt for the economy, still staggering on his watch, and for his own standing at one of the lowest marks of his presidency. He put forth a jobs plan that he hopes can get bipartisan support and spur

hiring in a nation where 14 million people remain out of work and the jobless rate is stuck at 9.1 percent. Public confidence in his stewardship of the economy is eroding.

Obama did not venture an estimate as to how many jobs his plan would create. He promised repeatedly that his plan would be paid for, but never said how, pledging to release those details soon.

The president also would apply the Social Security payroll tax cut to employers, halving their taxes to 3.1 percent on their first $5 million in payroll. Businesses that hire new workers or give raises to see JOBS page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions.

It will only be paid for if a committee he can’t control does his bidding, if Congress puts that into law and if leaders in the future — the ones who will feel the fiscal pinch of his proposals — don’t roll it back.

Underscoring the gravity of the nation’s high employment rate, Obama chose a joint session of Congress, normally reserved for a state of the union speech, to lay out his proposals. But if the moment was extraordinary, the plan he presented was conventional Washington rhetoric in one respect: It employs sleight-of-hand accounting.

A look at some of Obama’s claims and

how they compare with the facts: OBAMA: “Everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything.”

THE FACTS: Obama did not spell out exactly how he would pay for the measures contained in his nearly $450 billion American Jobs Act, but said he would send his proposed specifics in a week to the new see next page

Fact check: Obama’s jobs plan paid for? Seems iffy at best

Kuwait may host US Iraq backup force

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering staging American troops in Kuwait next year as a backup or rotational training force for Iraq, after the Pentagon completes the scheduled withdrawal of its current 45,000-strong force from Iraq in December, U.S. officials said.

The proposal, not yet publicly announced, is among a number of options the administration is considering for extending its military training role in still-violent Iraq, whose divided government has been reluctant to directly ask Washington to keep troops on its soil beyond this year.

All troops are to depart Iraq by Dec. 31 under a 2008 security agreement, but senior U.S. officials are concerned that without more training the Iraqi forces may squander hard-won security gains. The Iraqi army, for example, is only now taking delivery of U.S. battle tanks, on which they have yet to be trained.

Iraq’s security forces are improving but still lack the capability to fully defend Iraqi air space, borders and territorial waters, U.S. military officers say.

“There are some gaps in their military capabilities, their security capabilities, that we believe we could offer some assistance with,” Navy Capt. John Kirby, a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday. Discussions with the Iraqis on this are in an early stage, Kirby added.

The Obama administration favors a proposal that would leave 3,000 to 5,000 U.S. troops in Iraq next year to train Iraqi forces, U.S. officials said this week. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Iraq has not yet asked for any extension of forces.

It has not previously been reported that staging U.S. forces in Kuwait as a part of that training mission — or possibly in addition to that mission — is under consideration. One of the U.S. officials said the administration would foresee the Kuwait arrangement lasting for three years, starting in 2012, with troops rotating into Iraq for six-month stints. No decisions have been made, and it was not clear whether direct talks with the Kuwaiti government have begun. from preceding page congressional supercommittee charged with finding budget savings. White House aides suggested that new deficit spending in the near-term to try to promote job creation would be paid for in the future — the “out years,” in legislative jargon — but they did not specify what would be cut or what revenues they would use.

Essentially, the jobs plan is an IOU from a president and lawmakers who may not even be in office down the road when the bills come due. Today’s Congress cannot bind a later one for future spending. A future Congress could simply reverse it.

Currently, roughly all federal taxes and other revenues are consumed in spending on various federal benefit programs, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, food stamps, farm subsidies and other social-assistance programs and payments on the national debt. Pretty much everything else is done on credit with borrowed money.

So there is no guarantee that programs that clearly will increase annual deficits in the near term will be paid for in the long term.

OBAMA: “Everything in here is the kind of proposal that’s been supported by both Democrats and Republicans, including many who sit here tonight.”

THE FACTS: Obama’s proposed cut in the Social Security payroll tax does seem likely to garner significant GOP support. But there are a lot of other proposals that already have generated stiff Republican opposition.

For instance, Obama makes a pitch anew to end Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, which he has defined as couples earning over $250,000 a year or individuals earning over $200,000 a year. Republicans have adamantly blocked what they view as new taxes. As recently as last month, House Republicans refused to go along with any deal to raise the government’s borrowing authority that included new revenues, or taxes.

NH lawmakers urge landowners to be patient, leave property open while liability legislation is developed CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire lawmakers urged nervous landowners Thursday to leave their properties open to recreation while they work to improve their liability protections.

State Rep. Gene Chandler, a Bartlett Republican, and state Sen. Andy Sanborn, a Henniker Republican, are heading up a group working on legislation to ensure as much of New Hampshire’s private lands remain open to recreation as possible. Many landowners fear legal liability if they keep their land open to bird-watchers, hikers, hunters and sporting vehicles.

State law limits landowners’ liability as a way to encourage them to keep their land accessible. The law does not require them to keep the land safe for use or to give warnings of hazardous conditions or structures.

Landowners and lawmakers, however, are con-

cerned of a possible chilling effect from a lawsuit brought by William Jasmin, a 51-year-old Manchester hunter who fell about 20 feet when a tree stand collapsed. Jasmin was severely injured; his lawsuit was first reported by the Concord Monitor.

“We just want the landowners to know we take this action very seriously,” said Chandler said at a Thursday news conference.

The lawsuit centers on whether the landowner gave Jasmin permission to hunt in exchange for killing as many coyotes as possible and told him about the tree stand. Sanborn and Chandler said the law isn’t clear on whether landowners are protected from liability when they get something in return for allowing people onto the property.

“Giving someone a gallon of maple syrup could be compensation,” said Sanborn.

The audacity of weakness I can’t remember a more stunning rebuke of a president by a congressional leader than House Speaker John Boehner’s refusal to agree to President Barack Obama’s demand — er, request — that he summon a joint session of Congress to hear the president’s latest speech on the economy at 8 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Sept. 7.

Obama’s request was regarded as a clever move by some wiseguys in the left blogosphere because that was the exact time of a long-scheduled Republican presidential candidate debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Take that, you guys!

But Boehner smoothly responded that with Congress reconvening late that afternoon, the security sweep necessary for a presidential visit would be impossible and invited the president to speak Thursday. White House officials quickly agreed, scheduling the speech at 7 p.m. EDT to avoid overlap with the first game of the National Football League season.

Not such a big deal, some people are saying. I disagree. I think it illustrates several of the weaknesses of this presidency.

One is a lack of regard for the Constitution. Congress is a separate branch of government, set up

by Article 1 of the Constitution, which is not about the executive branch as Joe Biden said in the 2008 vice presidential debate.

(Media outfits that dispatched dozens of investigative reporters to Alaska were apparently incapable of discovering this obvious error.)

Before last week, presidents and congressional leaders always agreed privately on scheduling presidential addresses to joint sessions before any public announcement was made. But it appears that no such agreement was made here, just a brusque announcement that had to be retracted.

Another weakness on display was contempt for public opinion.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said it was just “coincidental” that the president wanted to speak at the same time as the debate. It was just “one debate of many that’s on one channel of many.”

But those with memories that go back beyond last week may recall that in May 2009, Obama scrambled to find a venue for a speech at exactly the same time as former Vice President Dick Cheney was scheduled to speak at the American Enterprise Institute on detainee questioning issues.

Cheney coolly watched Obama on television and then delivered his

own speech.

Ham-handedly trying to bigfoot the opposition is a habit with this president, not a coincidence.

A third Obama weakness is his propensity to charge his political opponents with playing politics when he is doing exactly that himself. In previewing this latest jobsand-the-economy speech, Carney said that Obama will make the case “that politics is broken and that politics is getting in the way of the very necessary things we need to do.”

This from the president who has brushed aside one bipartisan initiative after another, from the health care initiative of Sens. Ron Wyden and Bob Bennett to the recommendations of his own deficit commission, headed by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson.

Instead, he has taken a purely partisan course on one issue after another — and heaped blame on Republicans. He invited House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan to his speech at George Washington University and then lambasted him harshly.

Obama has been so consistently blaming Republicans in recent months for not approving the free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama that it came as an utter surprise to his deputy press secretary, Josh Earnest, that he hasn’t sent them to Congress yet.

The fourth weakness is failure to come up with policies that address situations appropriately.

Press briefings suggest that Obama next week will call for an extension of the payroll tax holiday and of unemployment benefits. A case can be made for both, but neither has invigorated the economy yet.

We also hear that he may call for more infrastructure spending.

But as the president himself told us, laughing, there aren’t actually any shovel-ready projects.

The New York Times reports he may call for “school repairs and retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency.” This sounds suspiciously like the weatherization program under which Seattle got $20-million and produced just 14 jobs.

Democrats have criticized Obama on the speech-scheduling flap. James Carville said he was “out of bounds.” Salon.com’s Cenk Uygur sensed “the audacity of weakness.” It reminds me of a phrase describing a character in the 1980s TV series “Dallas” — “blustering, opportunistic, craven and hopelessly ineffective all at once.”

LETTERS Male WASPS benefitted from institutions of racism & sexism To the editor, I never wrote or implied that Jack Stephenson was a “racist” or a bigot.

If I wrote something that led him to think that, I apologize. I do not know his heart. He seems like a nice guy.

Moreover, I believe Mr. Stephenson when he writes that he has never personally exercised power over another group to exploit them. A lot of us male WASPS that are like that; we are “nice” white people.

On the other hand, we male WASPS have benefited from our group historically exercising political, social, and economic power over other groups in America. We have benefited from racism just as we have benefited from sexism. While we may not be sexist, racist or bigoted on a personal level, we have certainly benefited from racism and gender inequality and so are we not at least partially “part of the problem” even if only indirectly so?

Racist systems can be highly profitable to a ruling group. Sowing hatred of other groups can reap huge dividends for opportunist politicians who can focus popular anger off themselves and on the “they” group. Racism can also reap hefty financial rewards for the “we” group. First there was slavery, followed by the (just as oppres-

sive) sharecropping and crop lien systems. Even Northern whites were “racist” in that they benefited from the system. After all, where were the mills that spun and wove the cotton grown by Southern slaves and sharecroppers? Where were the slave cargo ships built?

While racism against African-Americans is the most glaring example, let us remember that other groups were victimized. Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians, “poor whites,” Irish, Jews, Italians, French Canadians and others have all suffered from discrimination and even “racist” economic exploitation.

On the other hand, there is a difference. I can usually tell if you are Asian or Black. If your ancestry is European and I do not know your name or heritage, I do not know whether your background is German, French, English, Irish, French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian, or Finnish! Blacks and some other groups experience instant prejudice based on skin color and other differences in phenotype.

As I wrote earlier, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end racism in this country. We still have a long way to go.

Elevating the standards of a minority does little for character To the editor, America has always been a history of minorities.The French in the 1500s and English in the 1600s. The Swedes, Scotts, Germans, Irish, Dutch and others included. Of course there was tensions and discrimination. Yet they fought side by side in the Revolutionary War.I t is from these brave souls we claim our ancestry. We adjusted and assimilated into one people.

There were others who came later and faced discrimination yet persevered and contributed to the cause of America.

The Japanese and Chinese faced discrimination, they stayed and endured as domestics, field workers, railroad workers and conitinued to show patience while they sent their children to school.

By about 1940 they had become

attacked Pearl Harbor. FDR ordered the Japanese Americans to be sent to consentration camps in the Rocky Mountains. J. Edgar Hoover protested as well as many in Congress, none could sway the presidents order and it stood. Instead of being bitter and teaching their children to follow suit, they sent their sons to join the armed forces. These Japanese American units became the most decorated units in the military. The sons who whent off to war while their parents were held in concentration camps came home as heroes and honored by those who imprisoned their parents.

Not long after the war the state of California was represented in the Senate by a Japanese American.

LETTERS The country’s future belongs to ‘barbarians’ at the gate – like me To the editor, “I am a barbaric SOB!” There, I’ve said it. My declaration doesn’t have the cachet or strength of “I am Spartacus,” but it’s all I can think of to say in response to the Labor Day vitriol of Vice President Biden and Teamsters’ Union President Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. I’m one of the “barbarians” at the gate, according to the Vice President of the United States. I’m one of the “sons of b—s” to be “taken out” according to union boss Hoffa. Why? Apparently because my vision of this country aligns with the Founders’ vision of a republic with a central government of limited, enumerated powers given to it by We the People. Or maybe it’s because I believe in a worker’s right to represent his interests in the labor market without being forced to pay a tithe to support fat cat union bosses.

(In 2009, Hoffa received more than $360,000 in compensation, just one of 120 Teamster officials who raked in more than $150,000 in salary. They gave themselves generous raises at a time of falling membership and shrinking dues payments.)

My other “barbaric” beliefs include the idea that governments must live within the means of the people, must put the general interest ahead of special interests, and must maintain a long-term outlook. So when I read of unfunded public worker pension liabilities exceeding a trillion dollars and growing faster than revenues reasonably could, of chronic and systemic underfunding based on investment revenue projections that can’t possibly be achieved, I wonder why Bernie Madoff isn’t surrounded by a host of former government officials

and public pension fund managers.

Why is a pyramid-scheme legal when the government runs the game?

Maybe today’s 20-somethings will be asking themselves that question a couple of decades from now when more of their tax dollars are supporting retired workers than paying for their schools, roads, and safety services. Maybe I’m an SOB for asking that question today.

By any reasonable fiscal or social measure, our nation is off-track. Record high spending, record high debt, and record high unemployment, coupled with record low academic achievement, record low confidence in our elected federal officials, and record low consumer and employer confidence: Even a barbaric SOB knows that we continue in this direction at our peril.

Too many Americans have been terribly damaged by the progressive policies pushed on us these past two years by an administration and a Congress intent on radically re-writing the nation’s social compact. The progressives know this, which explains their recent temper tantrums. Instead of a record of accomplishment, they can give us only the rhetoric of acrimony.

Biden and Hoffa can name-call and threaten, but they are fighting a losing battle with reality, and time is not on their side. The primary season is upon us, and we Granite Staters again have an out-sized opportunity to influence the national debate. The path to America’s resurgence lies in a different direction, and I hope we barbarians are numerous enough to correct the Great Mistake of 2008.

Iraqis suffered gravely for the sins of those responsible for 9/11 To the editor, A definitive breakdown of fatalities in the Iraqi war as reported by Lancet, a medical journal of some repute, follows: Violent deaths attributed to the war are; coalition forces, 186,000, to others 144,000, unknown, 276,000.

The total deaths due to the war would be around 600,000. These numbers have been disputed by others, but one source estimates over 1-million died as a direct result of the war. The fact that many deaths cannot be traced, does not alter the fact that coalition forces were mainly responsible for most of the vio-

lence! Although car bombing deaths are included in this number, it still accounts for only about 100,000 fatalities, at the most. We bombed Iraq before the military invasion but most deaths came from gunshot wounds inflicted by ground troops.

It is a very sad and disgraceful episode in our recent history. The horrific numbers cannot be denied. Iraq suffered gravely for the sins of others: Retaliation for 9/11? I hope this answers any questions for SE. Leon R. Albushies Gilford

t’s a tough life for cats in New Hampshire, often left to fend for themselves, which no house cat can ever endure for long. Just so the case with the now named Mrs. Bugle, a petite little tabby cat found alone and scared in Laconia, arriving at New Hampshire Humane Society under police escort, back in February.

Half a year later, Mrs. Bugle wonders when she will ever enjoy the comfort of a cozy home again?

With 160 cats waiting homes at the shelter how can we illuminate her plight above the rest?

Must we simply say.. she deserves a loving home, one that won’t leave her destitute and lonely.

Ms. Bugle would very much like the warmth of human arms and the security of a permanent lap to while away her time, purring loudly. She has one small requirement,

decent food that will not irritate her sensitive system, no off brand cat food for this fine lady.

Come and spend a moment of your time to get to know Mrs. Bugle, you will quickly

find she is a sweet little thing, gentle and calm, a perfect addition to any home wanting the company of a placid little cat.

LETTER Only way out of this hole is to spend no more than we take in To the editor, The talking heads are telling us that the world economy is in much worse shape today than it was only a few weeks ago. They would have us believe that growth has slowed sharply in America, Europe and the emerging world. Global share prices have dropped by around 15-percent since early July. Consumer confidence has slumped.

Well maybe… but it seems more likely that nothing changed but the political reality. There haves been no recent precipitous changes. The amount of debt has not gone up or down dramatically. Things have been crappy (that’s the technical term for one in five people are out of work and even those still working aren’t spending much) in the economy for a long while.

What happened is that the economists and analysts reassessed the data and decided that the financial crisis we experienced was worse than we were told. They discovered that the subsequent recovery was less robust than we were told. They have concluded that our prospects going forward are not as rosy as we had been led to believe.

It was a stunning revelation. Not that the economy has been worse than the talking heads were saying but that they were waking up to that fact.

So, the question becomes; were they lying the first time they told the story or are you lying now? Either way, they can’t be trusted.

It is stunning that all the political leadership and the investigative reporters were hoodwinked for years. With all those IQ points, sharp tongues and ambitions they appear to have had not a lick of common sense. The politicians demonstrated no grasp of the situation. The talking heads seem to have demonstrated no curiosity about the facts and no thirst for the truth. Heck, there has not even been a hint that something might not be as it was being spoon fed to them.

Why was that?

The announcement of the reassessment of the financial data has led to some minor hand wringing. Now the media types seem to be recognizing a new, heretofore unrecognized grim reality. Suddenly, reassessment of growth prospects is in order. Forecasts for 2012 are being slashed. The odds of a double-dip recession are reportedly rising.

Hello. We are already in a recession. Shakespeare said, “A rose by any other name would smell as…” in this case maybe sweet is the wrong word.

When you owe $14.5-trillion, more or less, and are spending at a rate 50-percent greater than the rate you are taking in revenue, you are not headed in the right direction. Hello. Are you listening? We are in a recession and we aren’t getting out of it until we pay down the debt significantly.

Don’t be fooled. The financial affairs of America are an embarrassment.

We are broke. We can’t seem to stop spending. We don’t even recognize that we should. We can’t even admit we are in trouble. Here’s a hint: just because somebody else owes more

lots of debt is a good idea.

What we have is a crisis of integrity in our leadership. The political leadership of both parties has simply not told us what the situation is… for a long time and we the voters have allowed it. Common sense should tell them and us that we are so deeply in debt that action is required. It is not indicated; it is required and it is required now. But now they have absolutely no idea what to do to get us out of it.

You see the polls tell them we want a free ride. That is what the polls have said for years and likely will continue to say. That is who America has become. It has been going on for decades. But we are broke. Have you got that? We got no money, no scratch, no greenbacks, no moolah, and no dinero. We are broke. We don’t even have milk money. You may think you are entitled to more from the public coffers… but the coffers are empty except for the IOU’s.

There is no easy way out of the hole we dug for ourselves. To do so we have to stop spending more than we are taking in. Period. To do that we have to elect people who are willing and able to do the right thing and take the heat for it. We have to stop the spending and that will be painful. It means people are going to lose things they feel entitled to.

We better get used to the idea.

We’ve been voting for the wimpy plan for decades and … well, it is now Tuesday. The truth is that time and again we have elected the politician who promised us the most from the public coffers. We ate all the hamburgers for all these years. Now the time to pay for what we ate has arrived and we are figuring out that there is no money to pay bill.

What’s worse, we have to increase what we are taking in and put that additional money towards debt reduction. That’s right we have to raise taxes.

We have to raise taxes and get nothing but debt reduction in return. Unfortunately, there is only one way to get out of debt. You have to pay the money back.

If some smart person tells you that we can get out of the mess some other way you better put two hands on your wallet and turn and run.

The truth is that things will not get better, probably for decades. It takes a long time to pay back $14.5-trillion ($14,500,000,000,000). Do the math.

We spend nearly half of all the revenue the government takes in just to pay the interest on what we owe.

Assuming we cut spending to a level equal to the current level of tax revenue (that is a stretch politically) and assuming that we then raised taxes by 10-percent (that is an even greater stretch politically) and assuming that all the money raised is applied to debt reduction (and that is all but beyond possible politically) it would take more than 60 years to pay off the debt.

Until we pay down the debt things will not get better. Growth is unlikely to return to the economy. New programs are out of the question. Maintaining what we have will be problematic.

These things will remain true until we can get a handle on America’s debt.

We are not going to grow our way out of debt and we should not even con-

Kazuko Okubo will be one of the many area immigrants featured in Laconia’s Multicultural Day celebration in downtown Laconia on Saturday. Kazuko will have a table that will feature some of her art work and her recent memoir “Japanese Wife.” (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

By Gail OBer

LACONIA - At 67, Kazuko Okubo, seems relaxed and at ease at she sits on a stool in one of Larry Frates Creative Arts Center rooms on Canal Street.

In rapid but nearly perfect English, the tiny Japanese author and artist begins her story - one that begins in post-World War II Japan and takes her through the dark tunnels of American poverty and a 1970s Japanese-American culture clash.

Like many stories of single parenthood and poverty, Kazuko’s book “Japanese Wife” begins with a man: an American engineer who promised a budding Osaka dressmaker the promise of love and opportunity on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. A man who instead dragged her to virtual isolation and servitude in southernmost Florida.

Left alone with his family for weeks at a time while her husband cavorted

with his girlfriend, a pregnant Kazuko was made to cook and clean for his three children and his mother. She baby sat for his sister’s children while her sisterin-law drank beer and stole the things her mother sent her from home.

Fed nothing but peanut butter sandwiches, a year after the birth of her son she escaped with the assistance of a kindly neighbor and an alert cab driver.

Kazuko’s book “Japanese Wife” chronicles her trip from Florida to Massachusetts, from Massachusetts to Japan and her return back to Massachusetts.

She writes of being a person without a country.

From Japan. A place she called home but felt she was no longer welcome and where she tried to return but was shunned by her upper middle-class Samurai society for having an halfAmerican child and no husband.

And her return to Massachusetts a place where she was welcomed but see next page

from preceding page sider trying to inflate our way out of debt. The problem is the debt. The fix is the budget. The deficit must go away and a surplus must created that will be applied to debt reduction.

No the world economy is not in much worse shape than it was only a few weeks ago. Growth has not slowed sharply in America, Europe and the emerging world. The truth is somewhat different than what the talking

heads would have you believe. Share prices having dropped by around 15-percent since early July and consumer confidence has slumped may be valid observations… but maybe nothing changed but the political reality.

There has been no recent precipitous change except, I hope in your level of awareness. Vote early, vote often.

Just my honest opinion.

High School library ceiling to be mended by Monday LACONIA - School District Business Administrator Ed Emond said the high school library should be back in operation by Monday of next week.

He said school maintenance staff is performing the majority of the repair work to fix the damage caused when part of the old forced plaster ceiling collapsed. An electrician and a ceiling specialist are assisting the maintenance personnel.

“We’re just grateful this didn’t happen while students were in the school,” Emond said, adding that Rist-Frost-Shumway, the contractor hired to engineer the Huot Technical Center expansion, has checked the rest of the plaster ceilings to ensure their stability and safety.

Emond said the forced plaster ceiling was installed in 1922. As part of a 1974 renovation, drop ceilings

were installed, hiding the old forced plaster.

He said a portion of the heavy, old plaster collapsed sometime Monday and was noticed that evening when some internet technology staff members went into the space to install a printer.

He said the library doesn’t have a sprinkler system and there was no water damage. There wasn’t enough dust to trigger the fire alarms.

Emond said an environmental company evaluated the debris and found no contaminants so it’s just a matter of reinstalling the ceiling, lights and electrical wiring damaged during the collapse.

He said the school district insurance company was called.

Emond estimated the repairs will cost between $12,000 and $15,000.

BROOK from page one gathered at City Hall last night to learn what can be done to tame Jewett Brook, which has a history of flooding Normandin Square and private properties.

Matt Murawski of Dubois & King, Inc., consulting engineers, presented the findings of the analysis and assessment, undertaken for the city and the Army Corps of Engineers with federal funding. He explained that the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the lower reach of Jewett Brook and the geomorphic assessment of the entire watershed identified the conditions that contribute to the flooding and recommended measures for mitigating it. The final stage of the project will be a plan for the watershed.

Jewett Brook rises in Gilford, not far south of Swain Road, and flows northward to Liberty Hill Road, where it is fed by a tributary meandering southwest from Saltmarsh Pond. Paralleling Liberty Hill Road, the brook passes beneath County Club Road and the Route 3 and 11 Bypass and crosses the Lakes Business Park. At Hounsell Avenue, just south of the northern entrance to the park on Gilford Avenue, the main stem of the brook is joined

by its major tributary that originates to the northeast, on the north side of Route 11-A about halfway between the bypass and Hoyt Road. From there the brook runs westward, roughly parallel to Gilford Avenue, skirts Tardiff Park and runs under Highland Street and Union Avenue before passing under the Normandin Square Apartments and Davis Place from where it empties into the Winnipesaukee River some 250 yards above the Avery Dam. The brook, along with its major and minor tributaries, stretches for about five miles, with the main stem and its major tributary representing 3.5 miles.

Less than a mile of the brook flows through the city while the rest runs through Gilford. Likewise, the watershed of Jewett Brook spreads across 5.4 square miles, extending from downtown Laconia in the west to Hoyt Road in the east and north of Route 11-A south to the Belmont town line. Only a small fraction of the watershed lies within the city limits and all the rest in Gilford.

Murawski explained that hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, measuring the slope, width, depth and capacity of the channel, was confined to the lower reach of the brook, from the bridge on Union Avenue to the mouth at the Winnipesaukee River, where he said “there is a long history of flooding.” Luke Powell, assistant director of public works, said that water topped the bridge, filled Normandin Square and raced down Davis Place in 2005, 2006 and several times in 2007.

Murawski said the peak flow at the Union Avenue bridge was computed at 394 cubic feet per second (cfs) for 10-year storms, 970 cfs for 50-year storms and 1190 cfs for 100-year storms, noting that municipal bridges should be designed to carry a 50-year flow with a foot to spare. The bridge is 18 feet wide and the channel is lined with up to two feet of sediment. As a result, the bridge can carry just 450 cfs before the water tops the bridge and spills into the road. “The bridge is the kink in the system,” Murawski said. see next page

from preceding page where she could barely speak English and where she experienced poverty unimaginable for a woman raised in strict Japanese fashion to be, above all else, the perfect Japanese wife.

While Kazuko survived and ultimately thrived in her new country – she is remarried and lives in Center Harbor — her early story is one of desperation and determination and is not to be missed.

Kazuko’s book “Japanese Wife” as well as some of her art work will be featured as part of Laconia’s Multicultural Day to be held all day Saturday in downtown Laconia.

Her art work will appear in Frates Creative Arts gallery on Canal Street during the weeks following Multicultural Day.

The lower reach of Jewett Brook as it flows beneath Union Avenue, where, in the past, high water from heavy rainfall has spilled onto the roadway and flooded Normandin Square. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)

from preceding page The report proposes either dredging the channel or widening the bridge. Dredging would increase the capacity of the brook at the bridge by 60-percent, to 720 cfs, which Murawski said would address a 25-year storm, but not a 50-year event. On the other hand, widening the bridge ten feet would increase its capacity by only 20-percent, to 540 cfs, which Murawski said would not be cost effective. He estimated that both dredging the channel and widening the bridge would still not provide sufficient capacity for the flow of a 50-year storm.

With limited options, the report recommends acknowledging that the lower reach of the brook, with its flat floodplain, low roadway and shallow slope, “is inherently prone to flooding.” It suggests dredging, which will raise the capacity of the brook and lessen the frequency of flooding, as the preferable alternative, but adds that it must be repeated as fresh sediment washes into the channel. Finally, the report proposes taking steps to protect and restore the upstream stretches of the brook to reduce the volume of sediment.

Conditions upstream of the Union Avenue bridge are the subject of the “geomorphic assessment,” prepared by Bear Creek Environmental, LLC of Middlesex, Vermont. First the general physical configuration and characteristics of the watershed are described using topographical maps, aerial photographs and previous studies. Then the main stem and major tributary of the brook, a length of 3.5 miles, were divided into seven “reaches.” The team walked each reach. The course, dimensions and slope of the brook were measured. Natural and man-made features of the corridor were mapped. And conditions like erosion of the banks and sedimentation of the streambed were recorded.

Murawski explained that given the particular characteristics of a specific landscape, a stream will take a predictable course and shape, called a “reference stream type.” A “geomorphic assessment” effectively measures the extent to which an actual stream departs from the “reference,” or norm. For example, the channel may be lowered by scouring, raised by sedimentation or widened by erosion. see next page

No Wake Zone declared on Lake Winona CENTER HARBOR & NEW HAMPTON — On the recommendation of the New Hampshire Marine Patrol, Commissioner of Safety John Barthelmes yesterday designated Lake Winona a “no wake zone” as an emergency measure in response to the high water levels following the recent rainfall. The rule requires all boaters

to operate at headway or “no wake” speed throughout the lake at all times.

The restriction will remain in effect until the water level recedes to a level at which operation above headway speed no longer jeopardizes the safety of individuals or threatens damage to property.

from preceding page The assessment found that the condition of the main stem of the brook east of bypass is “good,” but rated the condition of the main stem between the bypass and the river, through the city, and the major tributary along Route 11-A only as “fair.” However, Murawski remarked that “fair” should be read as “poor.”

Restoring the brook, Murawski said, includes measures to reduce the rate of sedimentation, which contributes to the flooding of its lower reach, as well as to improve water quality and wildlife habitat. The report suggests some 30 restoration projects, including conservation easement to protect the corridor, replacing undersized culverts, expanding vegetative buffers along the brook and improvements in managing and treating stormwater.

Murawski said that since the aim of the project is lessening the risk of downstream flooding, measures to reduce the sedimentation should take priority over steps to improve water quality and wildlife habitat. These could include removing or reducing man-made constraints on the meander, floodplains and banks of the brook, together with expanding and extending vegetative buffers along its length. Designating Jewett Brook a “fluvial erosion hazard zone,” a corridor defined by the lateral extent of the meander of the brook, the report suggests, would minimize property

damage and loss by restricting land uses that are incompatible with the optimal flow and course of the brook.

The report also recommends improving stormwater management to increase the base flow while decreasing the peak flows, which will reduce both the amount of pollutants carried by the brook along with the degradation its channel and erosion of its banks.

Finally, efforts should be undertaken to remove trash and debris from the brook in order to ease the flow and enhance the quality of water.

Asked what residents could do to protect their property from erosion, Murawski advised against “patchwork” measures, emphasizing that changes to one section of the brook would have adverse effects downstream. In particular, he discouraged residents from lining or armoring the banks, which he said was prohibited by state law.

Instead, Murawski said that a comprehensive approach to restoring the brook was in the best interest of all those with property alongside it.

Powell said that the success of this project has encouraged him to seek funding for assessments of Langley Brook, which flows into Paugus Bay near Christmas Island, and Durkee Brook, which flows past Union Cemetery and empties into Lake Winnisquam at the Petro-Mart on Court Street.

Murawski said that he anticipated a plan for addressing the watershed would be complete by the end of the year.

Gilford Budget Committee again pursues detailed financial reports from town, school district

BY MICHAEL KITCH GILFORD — The Budget Committee last night decided to renew its request for detailed financial information from both the town and the school district, which the Board of Selectmen refused in a strongly worded letter in July.

In May the committee discussed requests for data by several members and decided reasonable requests should be forwarded the town or the school district. In July, Chairman Dick Hickok passed a request from Skip Murphy to Geoff Ruggles, the town’s finance director, and Scott Isabelle, assistant superintendent for business for the school district.

Murphy asked for the aggregated cost of utilities and personnel for the past ten years as well as the hourly cost of municipal services and per student cost of educational services. He also sought data on free and reduced lunches offered by the school district, including the eligibility requirements and cost of breakfast, lunch and dinners. From the welfare department, he asked to know how much was spent for monthly cable television service. In addition, the town and school district were asked to report the cost of unfunded mandates from the county, state and federal governments.

Finally, he requested an inventory of gifts made to the town and school district during the past five years and an accounting of any costs associated with them.

In a letter to Hickok, the selectmen expressed concern that Murphy’s request could prompt similar requests from other members of the committee that would place heavy demands on town employees. “We are troubled by the voluminous nature of the information of the information being requested,” wrote the selectmen, who also noted the “dubious value” of the data, which they said would be denied under the Right-to-Know law. Noting that “this particular request may not truly reflect the ‘pertinent information’ needs of the Budget Committee as a whole,” the board directed the committee to take a formal vote

on such requests by its members and submit the request as a committee.

Hickok opened the discussion by remarking of the letter “I thought it was out of line and disrespectful.”

Murphy insisted that the Budget Committee “decides what data is required and in what format” and, referring to state statute, claimed that the selectmen have no authority to tell the committee how to conduct its proceedings. In particular, Murphy drew on RSA 32:22, which reads “Upon request by the budget committee, the governing body of the town or district, or the town manager or other administrative official, shall forthwith submit to the budget committee a comparative statement of all appropriations and all expenditures by them made in such detail as the budget committee may require.”

Echoing the selectmen’s letter, Scott Dunn, the town administrator, told the committee that the town’s annual telephone bill was about $25,000 and asked “what is the point of spending lots of time on $25,000 in an $11-million budget?”

Reminding Dunn that he worked in the private sector, Murphy explained that the committee required data on the trend of unit costs in order to identify and address those expenses that were rising and manage the budget.

The committee did not have a copy of Murphy’s original request for information at hand. Although the chairman or members remembered discussing the requests, none could recall if the committee endorsed some or all of them or if a formal vote was ever taken.

After much discussion of these issues, Dunn retrieved a copy of Murphy’s request, which he distributed to the committee. Members agreed that the requests could be worded with more precision and, with encouragement from Selectman Gus Benavides, adopted a motion to submit separate requests to the town and the school district, each seeking well-defined information “if it is available.”

SHAKER from page one dents charge by saying that the decision to eliminate the stipends “crushed a lot of kids.”

“I just don’t think it’s right,” she said, saying she felt somewhat marginalized by a school board that places more emphasis on sports than academics.

Over the summer, the school board, faced with what it thought was at least a $300,000 2011-2012 budget deficit largely due to the changes in the district contributions to the state retirement system, chose to eliminate, among other things, the $57,000 paid in stipends for advisers of nearly 50 after-school activities.

“The board’s focus was to keep the teachers in the classroom,” said Chair Preston Tuthill who noted the board was forced to reduce a number of activities, expenses and some non-teaching staff to “keep a full faculty.”

As of last night, Tuthill said the unexpended

funds available to the district was estimated to be about $60,000 to $70,000. When the Laconia Daily Sun story ran last week about parents reaction to the after school program stipend cuts, school district business administrator Debbie Thompson had estimated the number to be around $127,000 but said it is a moving target.

Not all who were at last night’s meeting spoke in favor of restoring the stipends.

Some, like former Budget Committee member Ken Knowlton, said while the cuts were regrettable, the federal and state mandated education components that are increasingly not being funded by the federal and state government, have fallen on the shoulders of ordinary taxpayers who just can’t take much more.

“The fact is we are living in bad economic times,” he said. “Bad cuts will have to be made.” see next page

FairPoint to lay off 400 workers, including 190 in NH

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Telecommunications company FairPoint Communications is cutting 400 jobs, or about 10 percent of its work force, as it continues to struggle financially after emerging from bankruptcy.

Company officials notified employees Thursday that about 130 people will lose their jobs in Maine, 190 in New Hampshire and 55 in Vermont in the coming months. Another 25 jobs are being cut in the other 15 states where FairPoint operates.

“We’re matching our work force to our workload,” said FairPoint Maine President Mike Reed. “We’re under pretty heavy competition and everyone knows we’ve lost some access lines.”

FairPoint is based in Charlotte, N.C., and provides telephone and high-speed Internet services in 18 states, with nearly 1.4 million access lines.

The company filed for bankruptcy in the fall of 2009, 18 months after buying Verizon’s northern New England landline telephone and Internet operations for $2.3 billion. It has continued to struggle since emerging from bankruptcy in January.

In its last earnings report, FairPoint reported

losing $27.1 million for the April-June period while seeing the number of its access lines decline 6.4 percent from a year ago. Its stock price has fallen from over $24 a share after emerging from bankruptcy to about $6, where it was trading Thursday afternoon.

The jobs now being cut include about 100 management positions and 300 union-represented jobs. All eligible employees will receive severance packages expected to total between $7 and $13 million.

The smaller work force will result in annual savings of about $34 million, FairPoint said.

The job cuts show the company still hasn’t worked out its problems, said Peter McLaughlin, chairman of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers council overseeing locals in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

“We just barely have the people now to get done what we have to do and now they’re going to cut another 400 heads,” McLaughlin said. “Our residential customers, our business customers and our wholesale customers are going to suffer. And that’s going to drive the company into the ground even further.”

JOBS from page 2 those they already employ would get an even bigger benefit: On payroll increases up to $50 million they would pay no Social Security tax.

Obama also proposed spending to fix schools and roads, hire local teachers and police and to extend unemployment benefits. He proposed a tax credit for businesses that hire people out of work for six months or longer, plus other tax relief aimed at winning bipartisan support in a time of divided government.

Under soaring expectations for results, Obama sought to put himself on the side of voters who he said could not care less about the political consequences of his speech.

“The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy,” Obama said.

His aim Thursday night was to put pressure on Congress to act — and to share the responsibility for fixing the economic mess that is sure to figure in next year’s elections. For every time he told lawmakers to “pass the bill” — and he said over and over — Democrats cheered while Republicans sat in silence.

Tax cuts amounted to the broadest part of Obama’s proposal — in essence, a challenge by the Democratic president to congressional Republicans to get behind him on one of their own cherished economic principles or risk the wrath of voters for inaction. The tax cuts alone would amount to roughly $250 billion.

The president said deepening the payroll tax cut would save an average family making $50,000 a year about $1,500 compared to what they would if Congress did not extend the current tax cut.

“I know some of you have sworn oaths to never raise any taxes on anyone for as long as you live,” Obama said, a reference to the conservative tea party influence on many House Republicans. “Now is not the time to carve out an exception and raise-middle class taxes, which is why you should pass this bill right away.” from preceding page He noted that many of the same people made the same objections when the school tried to eliminate some sports programs and that, with a finite pool of money, they were just going to end up fighting among themselves about what is more valuable.

Overwhelmingly, those who were at last night’s meeting wanted to see the programs restored, either through volunteerism, paid stipends or a combination of both.

One young fourth grader was reduced to tears when she recounted her feelings when she returned to school and realized her after-school activities had been slashed.

Many parents said their child’s ability to be accepted into college or university without showing extra-curricular activities in their backgrounds will be hampered.

A Canterbury parent said that the entire school population benefits from these activities, including those students who choose not to participate in them, and that for some students they are the carrots that lead them to learning about different subjects.

“You’re taking away a key component,” she said.

Yet another parent read aloud the mission statement from the district’s strategic plan and noted that the elimination of the co-curricular activities ran contrary to the district’s averred goals.

Following the meeting, Tuthill said that the school board will meet Monday night at 6 p.m. in the SAU offices after administrators have reviewed the budget.

He walked three and struck out seven.

Romero has lost just once since July 21, dropping a 6-4 decision at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 3.

Casey Janssen worked 1 1-3 innings and Frank Francisco pitched around Jason Varitek’s leadoff homer in the ninth to finish it.

A two-out error by Kelly Johnson and a base hit by Marco Scutaro brought Dustin Pedroia to the plate as the tying run, but Francisco struck him out to end it.

Toronto opened the scoring with four in the second against left-hander Andrew Miller (6-3). Johnson reached on an infield single, advanced to third on Brett Lawrie’s base hit to right and scored on a single by David Cooper.

Arencibia followed with a drive into the third deck in left, his 22nd and second in as many days.

TORONTO (AP) — Ricky Romero won for the seventh time in nine starts, J.P. Arencibia hit a three-run homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 7-4 on Thursday night.

Edwin Encarnacion and Eric Thames added solo shots as the Blue Jays won back-to-back games for the first time since Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 at Baltimore.

Rookie David Cooper went 3 for 4 and had two RBIs as Toronto evened its record at 72-72.

Boston lost for the fourth time in five games and failed to gain ground on the first place New York Yankees, who lost 5-4 in 10 innings to Baltimore earlier in the day. The Red Sox are 2 1/2 games behind New York with 19 left to play.

In honor of those who died that day, the Evangelical Baptist Church will have a time of remembrance and honor as part of its Sunday morning service.

The entire service will focus on “How do we deal with 9/11 ten years later?” In addition to remembering those who died on 9/11, protective services personnel in Laconia will be recognized and honored for the vital role they play in keeping the community safe. Pastor Andrew Matthews says, “These men and women identify with the fire fighters and police officers who died trying to save lives in New York City that day.

They put their lives on the line for us every day and we want to honor them this Sunday.”

In addition to fire and police personnel, anyone serving in the Armed Services from the area is invited to attend in uniform for one of the services.

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis there are some you can’t see until you land in them. When you hit one, it’s best to get back up immediately and keep marching on. The only way to lose is by giving up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

One way to change your destiny is to change the cast of characters around you. You’ll thrive among people who can understand, challenge and contribute to your interests.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

While someone else tries to persuade, cajole and manipulate people for status, you’ll show your social brilliance by taking a different approach. You’ll win friends with a smile and a listening ear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Speak up, even if you know very little about the people or topic at hand. You may stumble clumsily into a conversation, but you express yourself from a pure place in your heart, and others will feel this and accept you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll dream boldly and differently. You’ll ask for what you really want, instead of asking for what you think you should want. Your wishes may not be granted, but this kind of asking will make you stand out and be admired.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

9). You’re a true original, and you’ll express your uniqueness in a special project. You’ll do what no one has ever done before, and it will work for you. In November, you’ll have a challenger, and this person will push you to deliver your peak performance. Lucrative business comes in January. May brings healing.

Libra and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 9, 41, 5, 33 and 17.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Check your drawers, closets, garage, barn, shed and attic to find usable and reusable possessions. You’ll find items to give away and items to make you smile and reminisce.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone will try to use an old catalyst to elicit a reaction from you. Little does this person know how much you have grown. You will be impervious to this person’s emotional stimuli.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll lend your wit to a conversation and win both approval and disapproval. Those who disapprove are clearly jealous. And those who approve may fall in love with you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have been delivering a consistent performance, giving a high level of support to those who depend on you and doing an overall commendable job. Therefore, you deserve the respect that’s coming to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you are angry, use it to embolden your mission.

Your audacity will separate you from the herd. Your force will be a wakeup call to others. The element of surprise will work in your favor.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll benefit from subtle self-promotion. In your charming way, you’ll keep others informed of who you are, what you do and what you want and need in order to make your dream happen.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do not be afraid to accept help -- the more someone helps you the greater his or her investment will be in your relationship. Relationships become bonded in this kind of sharing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As much as you try to avoid life’s potholes,

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, September 9, 2011— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Sept. 9, the 252nd day of 2011. There are 113 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 9, 1971, prisoners seized control of the maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility near Buffalo, N.Y., beginning a siege that ended up claiming 43 lives.

On this date: In 1776, the second Continental Congress made the term “United States” official, replacing “United Colonies.”

In 1830, Charles Durant flew a balloon from New York City across the Hudson River to Perth Amboy, N.J. In 1850, California became the 31st state of the union.

In 1919, some 1,100 members of Boston’s 1,500-man police force went on strike. (The strike was broken by Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge, who brought in replacement officers.)

In 1926, the National Broadcasting Co. (NBC) was incorporated by the Radio Corp. of America.

In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the first civil rights bill to pass Congress since Reconstruction.

In 1986, Frank Reed, director of a private school in Lebanon, was taken hostage; he was released 44 months later.

In 1991, boxer Mike Tyson was indicted in Indianapolis on a charge of raping Desiree Washington, a beauty pageant contestant.

(Tyson was convicted and ended up serving three years of a six-year prison sentence.)

One year ago: A natural gas pipeline explosion killed eight people and destroyed dozens of homes in the San Francisco suburb of San Bruno, Calif. Iran said it would free Sarah Shourd, one of three American hikers held for more than 13 months on spying accusations, as an act of clemency to mark the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. (Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were sentenced in August 2011 to eight years in prison.)

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Cliff Robertson is 88. Actress Sylvia Miles is 77. Actor Topol is 76. Rhythm-and-blues singer Luther Simmons is 69. Singer Inez Foxx is 69. Singer Dee Dee Sharp is 66. Rock singer-musician Doug Ingle is 65. Country singer Freddy Weller is 64. College Football Hall of Famer and former NFL player Joe Theismann is 62.

Rock musician John McFee (The Doobie Brothers) is 61. Actor Tom Wopat is 60.

Actress Angela Cartwright is 59. Musicianproducer Dave Stewart is 59. Actor Hugh Grant is 51. Actress Constance Marie is 46.

Actor David Bennent is 45. Actor Adam Sandler is 45. Rock singer Paul Durham (Black Lab) is 43. Model Rachel Hunter is 42. Actor Eric Stonestreet (TV: “Modern Family”) is 40. Actor Goran Visnjic (VEEZ’-nihch) is 39.

Pop-jazz singer Michael Buble’ (boo-BLAY’) is 36. Country singer Joey Martin (Joey + Rory) is 36. Latin singer Maria Rita is 34.

Page 18 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, September 9, 2011

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 20 years.

I was laid off recently for the second time. While reviewing our finances, I noticed that our cellphone usage had substantially increased. I asked my wife about it, and she explained that she was catching up with friends.

I normally do not look at her phone, but I decided to see who she was yakking with. It turns out she was calling and texting a former male co-worker. I then found a naked photo of the man on her phone. She tried to pass it off as a joke and then said he’d been drinking when he sent it. Additional investigation led me to discover there were plenty of late-night texts and calls, and that she was also sending intimate photos of herself to him.

I feel betrayed and cheated on. We have talked and are working through this situation. I want to ask my cellphone provider for transcripts of their texts just to see if there is more to the situation than she is admitting. Do you think this is a wise choice? -- Feeling Cheated On Dear Cheated On: No. If you find nothing, you still have to deal with the problem at hand. And if you discover more pictures or evidence of an affair, you will feel worse, and those words and images will stick in your head for a long time.

Your wife has betrayed your trust, whether or not she slept with the guy. Please get counseling. A third party can help you find the best way to get past this.

Dear Annie: I once invited my 60-year-old next-door neighbor to swim in our pool. She then informed me that she would come over daily after dinner and didn’t plan to phone first. As she put it, “It’s not convenient to call every day.”

I tried to tell her politely that the pool is visible from our living room and it is not appropriate for her to use it without our knowledge. We are concerned with our privacy and her

safety, not to mention our liability should anything happen to her. She was furious and stopped speaking to me.

I thought it was common sense and established social decorum that one should not swim in a neighbor’s pool without an invitation. Am I correct? How do I mend our relationship?

-- Confused Pool Owner Dear Confused: You are correct. Your neighbor doesn’t understand boundaries and has limited social acumen. She also has a short fuse. We don’t know why you want to mend fences with someone who apparently only values you for your swim facilities. If you apologize for upsetting her, she will expect to have complete access to the pool again. The best you can do is smile and say hello when you see her, and hope for the best.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to the letters about school lunches. I have been in the student nutrition profession for more than 20 years. Our school offers a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, along with salads and meatless options. All of our pasta, rice, bread and pizza crusts are whole grain. We no longer have fries every day, and nothing is deep-fried. We even offer a grilled chicken sandwich.

People don’t realize all the regulations we must follow to comply with the National School Lunch Program. Many districts don’t have the money for fresh produce. We encourage the students to eat more fruits and vegetables, but if they don’t have them at home, it is a struggle. We need the help of parents. The public rarely hears the positive side. Please help us out. -- Proud “Lunch Lady” from Minnesota Dear Minnesota: Consider it done. It’s good to know that some schools are doing their best to provide healthy choices for our kids.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, September 9, 2011— Page 21

Water Ceremony Sunday marks start of Youth and teen auditions for church year for Unitarian Universalists Winni Playhouse start Monday LACONIA — A “Water Ceremony” will mark the start of the church year on Sunday, Sept. 11 for the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Franklin.

Kent McKusick minister of both congregations, says the ceremony originated in the 1980’s as a liberating, powerful, and deeply moving ritual of simplicity and inclusivity.

In Michigan, Carolyn McDade and Lucile Longview brought a small circle of women together in a living room to create sacred space with the circle gathering, a simple bowl and the mingling of water samples brought by the women. The ritual honored nature and the interconnection of people to each other and the world.

The shared water samples symbolized birth waters, the cycles of moon, tides and women, and all the waters of this small blue planet. It was a spiritually significant moment for Unitarian Universalism.

“Thirty years later, the inclusion of this water ceremony still speaks to people of every religious background,

culture, race, gender identification and orientation; environmental issues; the social justice of inclusion for marginalized populations; and a deepening awareness of people in the world who lack the most basic and precious resources in life,” says McKusick.

Member and non-member participants of all ages are invited to bring a small sample of “living waters” from close to home or from far away. The water may come from a lake, a river, an ocean, or the kitchen faucet. Symbolic water is available for those who do not have a water sample.

Each container of water represents a journey or moment of transformation, whether that transformation is small or large. In a communal ritual, the water samples are collected in a common bowl as each person comes forward and briefly shares an individual blessing, life passage, memory or transformation represented by the water being poured into the common bowl.

After the service, the gathered water is sterilized and used throughout the year for other religious ceremonies, rituals and rites of passage.

LACONIA — A favorite folk legend and a man-eating plant are the stars of the two productions kids and teens will be performing at The Winnipesaukee Playhouse this Fall. Auditions are now being held for the youth ensemble (ages 8-12) production of “The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood” and the teen (12-18) production of “Little Shop of Horrors”.

The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood is a Monty Python-esque take on the classic tale of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. There are parts of all sizes for boys and girls. Auditions will take place on Monday, Sept. 12 and Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 4 p.m. Rehearsals will take place in Meredith on Sundays from 3-5 p.m. and Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. Not all participants will be needed at all rehearsals.

Salvation Army holding community remembrance prayer service 9/11 LACONIA — On Sunday, September 11 at 11 a.m. The Salvation Army will be hosting a service to remember those families and friends who lost loved ones at 9/11 and salute all those who served in the aftermath. The public is invited to join in this observance.

Captain Stephen and Sally Warren, Salvation Army Corps officers and pastors, will lead the observance and say that the public is invited.

The Salvation Army was the first relief agency to reach Ground Zero, reporting within a half-hour following the first plane crash at the World Trade Center site. With support from its mobile canteens, counselors and thousands of volunteers, The Salvation Army served relief workers at the WTC site for over nine months; leaving only when operations at Ground Zero officially concluded in May, 2002.

In the course of the relief effort, dubbed “Operation Compassion Under Fire,” The Salvation Army was granted

full control of the feeding operation at Ground Zero and also distributed other essential items to relief workers. Perhaps most importantly, Salvation Army counselors provided emotional and spiritual support to rescue and recovery personnel working under incredibly difficult conditions.

In all 3.2 million meals were served, 39,000 Salvation Army officers, volunteers and staff provided assistance with 1 million volunteer hours provided and $90 million donated.

The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in London in 1865, has been supporting those in need without discrimination for 130 years in the United States. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless.

LACONIA — On Sunday, September 11, the Greater Laconia Ministerial Association is sponsoring an Interfaith Service of Remembrance for the 10th Anniversary of September 11.

The service will be held at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Parade Road at 7 p.m. The service will include

a time of prayer, and candle lighting.

The speaker for the service will be Gilford Fire Chief John Beland, who will speak about the Lakes Region 9/11 respite program which provided respite to approximately 500 families after September 11. The Fellowship Committee will be providing refreshments after the service.
