Pfc. Bradley Manning wants to serve prison time as woman named Chelsea

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman named Chelsea and begin hormone treatment as soon as possible, the soldier said a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for giving government secrets to WikiLeaks.

Manning announced the decision Thursday in a statement provided to NBC’s “Today” show.

“As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible,” the statement read.

The statement asked people to use the feminine pronoun when referring to Manning. It was signed Chelsea E. Manning.

Manning received the stiffest punishment ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking information to the media. With good behavior and credit for more than three years of time served, Manning could be out in as little as seven years, the soldier’s attorney David Coombs said. see MANNING page 7

Ex-Patriot Hernandez indicted on murder charge ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was indicted Thursday on firstdegree murder and weapons charges in the death of a friend whose bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial park about a mile from the ex-player’s home.

The six-count grand jury indictment charges Hernandez with killing 27-yearold Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s girlfriend.

Hernandez, 23, pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in June, and he is being held without bail.

He had a brief court appearance in Attleboro on Thursday afternoon. Afterward, his attorney Michael Fee said the defense was pleased to be on a path to a jury trial and was looking forward to testing the prosecution’s evidence.

“There has been an incredible rush to judgment in this case,” and the state doesn’t have enough evidence to prove the

charges, he said.

Hernandez last summer signed a contract worth $40 million but was cut by the Patriots within hours of his June 26 arrest, when police led the handcuffed athlete from his home as news cameras rolled. He could face life in prison if convicted.

The Bristol County grand jury also indicted two others in the case: Hernandez associate Ernest Wallace and Hernandez’s cousin Tanya Singleton. see HERNANDEZ page 9

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Targeting the soaring cost of higher education, President Barack Obama on Thursday unveiled a broad new government rating system for colleges that would judge schools on their affordability and perhaps be used to allocate federal financial aid.

But the proposed overhaul faced immediate skepticism from college leaders who worry the rankings could cost their institutions millions of dollars, as well as from con-

gressional Republicans wary of deepening the government’s role in higher education.

The president, speaking to a studentheavy crowd of 7,000 at the University at Buffalo, said he expected pushback from those who have profited from the ballooning cost of college. But he argued that with the nation’s economy still shaky and students facing increasing global competition, making college affordable is “an economic imperative.”

“Higher education cannot be a luxury,” Obama said during the first stop on a twoday bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania. “Every American family should be able to get it.”

Republicans on Capitol Hill weighed in quickly with criticism. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, cast the proposal as government see COLLEGES page 10

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. soldier who massacred 16 Afghan civilians during pre-dawn raids last year apologized for the first time for his “act of cowardice,” but could not explain the atrocities to a military jury considering whether he should one day

have a shot at freedom.

Staff Sgt. Robert Bales said he would bring back the victims of his March 11, 2012, attack “in a heartbeat,” if possible.

“I’m truly, truly sorry to those people whose families got taken away,” he said in a mostly steady voice. “I can’t comprehend

their loss. I think about it every time I look at my kids.”

Bales, 40, did not recount specifics of the horrors, but described the killings as an “act of cowardice, behind a mask of fear, bullshit and bravado.” see MURDERS page 11

Outgoing LRCC student serving on state board of trustees

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “I’m pretty vocal,” said Madeline Maoriano of Gilford, who in her second year at Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) was one of two students recently named to the Board of Trustees of the New Hampshire Community College System.

A graduate of Gilford High School, Maoriano earned the award for excellence in French and is pursuing a major in liberal arts at LRCC. She was nominated to the Board of Trustees by Scott Kalicki, the president of LRCC. “I made myself pretty well known at the college,” Maoriano said, noting that she enjoyed an edge since her mother is a member of the faculty who teaches anatomy and physiology. Apart from admitting to being “very talkative,” she serves as a student ambassador, offering tours of the college to new and prospective students and visiting high schools to tout the opportunities the college offers.

Maoriano said that the administration and faculty at LRCC are “very student oriented. They do everything they can for students,” she continued, explaining that teachers take the time and make the effort to address the specific needs of individual students.

As a trustee, she said, that she intends “to bring the students’ perspective to the board.” She said that the trustees need “to understand how students really

feel about the issues.”

Meanwhile, Maoriano, who contemplated transferring to the University of New Hampshire to pursue a degree in computer engineering, has chosen to stay at LRCC once she completes her liberal arts degree and turn her hand to pastry arts. “I’m not one for other people telling me what to do,” she said, explaining Madeline Maoriano that rather than work for (Courtesy photo) someone else she intends to manage her own business. “I’ve always loved cooking and baking since I was very young,” she said. “I’d love to have a little pastry that grew into a worldwide business.”

Although Maoriano studied French for six years in school, twice-planned trips to France were cancelled, once when there was rioting in the streets of Paris and again when priority for traveling abroad fell to the students of Spanish. She is hoping for an opportunity to use her fluent French and sharpen her baking prowess in France, but is equally determined to return to the Lakes Region, where she has spent her life. “It’s a beautiful area and I definitely plan on staying around,” she said.

Fusion Networking is rebranding of effort to engage younger workers

By RogeR Amsden

‘’The word ‘professionals’ made it sound like we were too exclusive. We wanted to open up the group so that all kinds of young people could feel comfortable. We’re helping people develop their own network of social and business contacts,’’ says Baert.

She brought along her boyfriend, Dustin Bossey of Laconia to the event and Bossey, who runs his own company, Dustin J. Bossey Builder, said he was impressed with the turnout and the opportunity to meet new people. ‘’This is awesome. I’ve got to meet a lot of people who will now know me and hopefully think of me when they want some building work done,’’ said Bossey.

Trish Laurent, who is human resource coordinator for the town of Meredith, said that she was impressed with the organization when she attended one of its events a few years ago and decided to become active with it.

She’s a volunteer already with the WOW Trail organization and said that she thinks Fusion will help people become more involved in their communities.

State Senator Andrew Hosmer (D-Laconia) attended the event and said that he was thrilled to see how the organization has grown and achieved its own focus. ‘’We really need a young people’s group in the Lakes Region and this group looks to be very dynamic and ready to make a difference.’’

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Fusion Networking introduced itself to the Lakes Region in an event held at the Margate on Lake Winnipesaukee Thursday night.

Some 200 people turned out at the resort’s Lakeside Pavilion and heard Fusion President Beth San Soucie explain the group’s mission.

“Fusion is looking to make connections within the Lakes Region through activities that inspire people and provide a sense of community; with this comes the opportunity to build business and social connections along the way. This is the wave of the next generation of leaders — we’re paving the way,’’ said San Soucie.

She said that the organization, which was first known as the Lakes Region Young Professionals group and was a committee of the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, decided that it needed to rebrand itself in order to establish its own identity.. ‘’Being known as the Lakes Region Young Professionals group, didn’t allow us to reach those that we were looking to get involved with our organization.

The stigma attached to the words “young” and “professional” were holding us back from what we were looking to accomplish. It was time for a change — a fresh perspective,’’ said San Soucie.

Tania Baert, who works as a commercial lender at the Bank of New Hampshire, is the treasurer of Fusion Networking and says that the group feels a dynamic approach is needed in order to accomplish one of the organization’s original goals, working to convince young people that there good career opportunities for them right in New Hampshire.

Dustin Bossey of Dustin J. Bossey Builders of Laconia and his girlfriend, Tania Baert, who works for the Bank of New Hampshire and is treasurer of the Fusion Networking group, were among those taking part in the organization’s introduction to the public held at the Margate Resort Thursday night.

Evil comes in all colors The three Oklahoma teenagers were, according to official reports, “bored.” So they decided to do something: kill the guy who jogged past them. They got in the car, followed him and did just that.

The district attorney described the youngest, the 15-year-old, as having treated the murder as a “joke.” He reportedly danced as he was booked. The 16-year-old, supposedly the one who pulled the trigger, showed no emotion when he was charged with first-degree murder. Only the 17-year-old, who is supposedly cooperating, broke down — and only when the prosecutor referenced the “very, very lengthy prison sentence” he is facing. “I didn’t pull the trigger,” he said. So what?

Okay, I’ll play carefully. Assuming the facts presented without contradiction to the court to be true, these boys are evil and should rot in hell for what they did.

Now, to get even uglier. The (alleged) killers are African-American. The victim was a young Australian baseball player who attended college in Oklahoma and had just visited his girlfriend. He had a bright future.

The three beasts (again, assuming these facts to be true) are not star athletes and college students.

Their lives, I’m sure we will be told, are empty and hopeless.

I don’t know whether you call this a “hate” crime or not. That would turn on whether epithets were uttered, whether the victim was selected because of his race, all of that. It really doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t get much uglier than the unprovoked, cold-blooded murder of an innocent victim chosen at random.

Anyone who was the least bit outraged by the killing of Trayvon Martin should be screaming bloody murder right now.

What makes me wonder whether they will?

Mr. President, some thoughts, please? Can you identify with the parents of the kid who went for a jog and ended up dead? No, he doesn’t

look anything like you would have at 15, at least judged from the color of his skin, but that isn’t what matters, is it?

The real point is that these hooligans — the 15-, 16- and 17-year-old — also bear no relationship to our president when he was that age.

Evil comes in all shapes and sizes and colors, and when we see it, we need to call it for what it is.

News accounts say the two younger boys have had hard lives.

The mother of the 15-year-old is in jail. Last year, the 16-year-old lost both his stepfather and his brother.

Illness? Murder? Plainly, loss did not make them better people. Perhaps the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Is that cruel? Sure. But we are talking here of pure evil.

Plenty of kids grow up surrounded by all forms of depravation, and yet they would never kill a person to fill a boring day. They know, deep down, the difference between good and evil. Plenty of kids grow up with bad parents and bad families and bad problems, but they don’t go shoot a baseball player out for a jog to make their day. It’s not black or white. Evil doesn’t have a color. Evil is evil.

Then there’s the guns issue. An Australian politician and gun-control advocate is already calling for a boycott of tourism to America to protest the killings. It is important to know how these beasts got the gun or guns they used. (According to authorities, they were on their way to another home to commit another murder when they were apprehended.) No responsible gun owner could possibly agree that these beasts had any right to possess a weapon.

But at the end of the day, they did.

And they should pay for it for the rest of their lives.

Losing John Schlemmer as fire chief a real blow to Center Harbor To The Daily Sun, I was very saddened to hear about the resignation of Chief John Schlmmer from the Center Harbor Fire Department due to political reasons.

As a member of the Fire Department, I was always truly impressed with the commitment and dedication with which Chief Schlemmer carried out his job as chief. He always had the best interest of the town’s citizens and members of the department at heart an I think that he did a great ob of meeting everyone’s needs. His dedication to the job went far about what was expected, and he could always be

counted on in any situation.

I am currently enrolled in medical school outside of the state so I am not able to attend the meetings in order to support him in person. Despite my geographical absence, I wanted to formally voice my support for him. I think that losing John Schlemmer as chief of the department would be a very great loss to the town of Center Harbor, as well as its members, and I hope that this situation does not have to resolve itself with his permanent resignation.

LETTERS Conservatives need to learn to work outside their comfort zones To The Daily Sun, I always enjoy when Mr. Earle responds to my letters because he inevitably reinforces points that I’m trying to make, while at the same time ignoring issues that I may raise. He once again responds with his filtered version of what he thinks I said and a manufactured version of what he says I wrote.

But, as always he never responds to issues that are raised. If Earle had been able to see beyond his hatred, he would realize that I was addressing the direction of the conservative agenda and not the real or imagined “scandals” of the Obama administration. He may cast sticks and stones but his tired old attacks do nothing to advance the conservative cause.

I believe the core principles that all Americans are likely to agree upon are individual freedom, self-determination, personal responsibility, and the preservation of our great nation.

These are principles that will remain fresh at all times, as they are fundamentally grounded.

Conservatives need to respond to today’s growing public anxiety over middle-class wage stagnation and growing income inequality, and not just produce redundant policies that are plainly intended more for looks than as real solutions. This will require conservatives to work outside their comfort zones. Their whole philosophy seems to be built on the idea that only their perspective is true and right, and all else are lies from the pit of hell. They are conceived by the electorate as insulating themselves in a cloak of impenetrable propaganda, which reinforces their superiority (the “real Americans”) and their righteousness.

As a nation we are not going to make any progress on our biggest problems

without a compromise between the center-right and the center-left. But for this to happen, we need the centerright conservatives, not the radical right to be running the G.O.P. A divided Republican Party cannot win a major election. It’s not that Democrats achieve more, or even less than what they promised, it’s simply that the Republicans are set to achieve even less. The divisions within the party are holding it back. A Republican Party capable of standing on a conservative fiscal platform without alienating socially progressive voters would handily win over independents, moderates, and a large portion of the American electorate from the Democrats. Republicans in 2016 need a candidate to unite the party on the issues, both foreign and domestic, rather than polarizing it.

While maligning the president must make him feel good, Earle can spare us the dramatic recitation of his scripted outrage about a “divisive president.”

Republicans have divided the nation into what they perceive are “makers” and “government dependent takers.”

Does anyone recall them writing off “47 percent” of the American public in 2012? What will the percentage be in 2016? And as far as the Middle East is concerned, apparently Earle has forgotten which administration jumped in with both feet — where are those weapons of mass destruction?

Rather than the frenzied finger pointing, Earle and friends would better serve the conservative cause by promoting an environment dedicated to quality principled candidates that can advance conservative policies and their agenda.

Just more, typical smear the opposition stuff from the left-wing To The Daily Sun, George Maloof’s letter in Wednesday’s paper sounds like he wants readers to believe he is just above all this crass political debating though I personally think he has a difficult time defending some of the dumb — yes dumb, that is — things he writes in these pages. He fills his brief letter with clever quotes which seem to me to be an attempted general insult to his

critics, he being to civil and all knowing to debate openly with we inferior beings. Really it’s just kind of typical, smear the opposition, left-wing stuff puffed up to sound impressive.

Keep writing dumb stuff and we poor dumb hicks will be telling you about it George. Nice try though.

LETTERS 12th Multicultural Festival was awesome! We’ll do it again in 2014 To The Daily Sun, The 12th Annual Multicultural Festival held August 3 was awesome! What a thrill it was to see 45 people carrying flags from around the world, led by the Laconia Police carrying the American flag, enter Rotary Park on such a beautiful day, to smell the aromas of so many international foods from our vendors and to see the smiles on the faces of thousands of people attending this signature downtown event.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our many, wonderful volunteers, most of whom began work on the Festival back in January. A huge thank you goes out to Kathy James, Mary Jane Hoey, Martha Walker-Kruse, Deb Frawley Drake, Umija Gusinac, Alan Robichaud, Arlene and Jim Fortier, Bob Chapman, Bob Harrington, David Stamps, Bobbie Thomas, Janet Simmons, Jane MacDonald, Len Campbell, Molly Homan, Vickie Trudell, Carey Pierce and Wendy Barrett. We so appreciate Bob Luther and Wayne Sanborn for all their work with electrical and sound production. These people all worked tirelessly behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly.

To the Belknap County House of Corrections that provided the “muscle” for setting up tables, barricades and tents & then assisting with the cleanup — a HUGE thank you, we couldn’t have done it without this help!

The Laconia Human Relations Committee, Laconia Main Street and the Belknap Mill join together to sponsor this community celebration. It is the hard work & support of many people, organizations, businesses and agencies in Laconia and the Lakes Region that lay the foundation for this great celebration of culture. We are proud to honor and thank them. Our enormous gratitude goes out to our major sponsors: Meredith Village Savings Bank, The Penny Pitou-Milo Pike Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation, Genesis Behavioral Health, Northway Bank and Lutheran Social Services. We so appreciate you!

Special thanks are given to the Greek Orthodox Church and the Belknap Mill for use of their tables, Healthlink for allowing us use of their electricity and parking lot, and the City of Laconia: Police Department, the Finance Department and Public Works. Byron’s Septic Services and Waste Management provided those “necessary items” needed for our outdoor festival! Thanks go out to David Stamps at dbstamps.com for creating our wonderful program and to Heather Dominick of Dominick Designs of Alton for creating our beautiful posters. We are so appreciative of Lakes Region General Hospital for sponsoring our free shuttle bus that transported passengers to & from the downtown parking areas and to 1st Student Bus Line that provided that bus.

Let’s take all that foreign aid money & spend it right here at home To The Daily Sun, I want a president who will stop the give away called foreign aid, which totaled $53.3 billion in 2012. How have we benefited from this big give away?

That money should be used to help Americans at home who are in need!

Who is willing to make the commitment to end this billion dollar giveaway? Tell Hillary Clinton to come back home with her foreign aid checkbook, the give away is over!

Ice Arena refusing comment on reports Laconia Leafs will not field team this season

By RogeR Amsden LACONIA — The president of the board of directors of the Laconia Ice Arena refused to comment yesterday on reports that the New Hampshire Lakers, formerly the Laconia Leafs, will not be playing at all this upcoming season. ‘’I have no comment. I have a practice to run right now,’’ said Chuck Yaeger, president of the organization, who was contacted at Waukewan Golf Course, where he is the club professional. He also coaches the InterLakes High School golf team.

The Daily Sun has learned from multiple sources that Lakers plan to take a year off from competing in the newly-formed Eastern Hockey League, which starts play in September, and plan to field a team for the 2014-2015 season.

The Lakers had been looking for

a new head coach to replace Joe Cardarelli, who resigned last month, and earlier this month had announced the hiring of Rocky Romanella as an assistant coach who also serve as recruiting coordinator.

The Lakers are members of the Atlantic and Metropolitan Junior Hockey Leagues. Junior hockey is a competitive level of hockey with amateur players who are 20 years or younger. The principle purpose of the program is to prepare, promote, and develop the athletes for future endeavors into a college or professional program.

The Leafs/Lakers have placed over 120 players into college and professional rinks over the last 10 years.

Players on the rosters came to Laconia from many different states, Canada and several European countries. They had been scheduled to play 44 games this upcoming season.

MEREDITH — A local couple, their three children and a house guest were displaced from their manufactured housing unit at 20 True Road, Lot 60 after a kitchen fire left the home dirty and damaged yesterday.

Fire Chief Ken Jones said that the fire was reported at 11:36 a.m., shortly after firefighters returned from an earlier call. “We were at the station and able to respond promptly,” he said. Using extinguishers, firefighters quickly quelled the fire. All residents

escaped unharmed.

Jones said that the fire started on the stove and, reaching combustible materials nearby, spreading to the extractor fan. Both the stove and fan, he said, were damaged beyond repair.

However, he said that there was significant smoke damage throughout the home as well as residue from the chemical agent applied by the fire extinguishers. “The residence will be habitable once it is thoroughly cleaned,” Jones said.

MANNING from page 2 Coombs told “Today” he hoped officials at the military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., will accommodate Manning’s request for hormone treatment. If they don’t, Coombs said he would do “everything in my power” to make it happen.

The Army said it doesn’t provide the treatment or sex-reassignment surgery.

“All inmates are considered soldiers and are treated as such with access to mental health professionals, includ-

ing a psychiatrist, psychologist, social workers and behavioral science noncommissioned officers,” Army spokesman George Wright said.

Many transgender people use crosssex hormone treatments to alter their gender characteristics. Guidelines from the Endocrine Society endorse the therapy along with monitoring for potential health risks of long-term use. For instance, high doses of the female sex hormone estrogen given to someone born male promote breast see next page

COMMON CORE from page one literacy curriculum that emphasize critical thinking and problem solving and are meant to better prepare students for success. New Hampshire is one of 45 states which has adopted the Common Core standards which are being rolled out ahead of new nationwide assessment tests which N.H. students are scheduled to take for the first time about 1 1/2 years from now.

Laconia School Superintendent Terri Forsten said that teachers in the district have been preparing for the transition to the sort of standards contained in Common Core for close to three years. She explained the new standards were devised under what she called the school district’s “non-negotiables” — a series of skills that students need to demonstrate at various grade levels in the areas of math and language arts/literacy. As Laconia educators worked to develop the school district’s own revised curriculum, they sought to incorporate many of the Common Core standards into the “non-negotiables” program.

The Gilford School District is fully behind the Common Core program as well, according to Superintendent Kent Hemingway.

“We are embracing this, and we’re fully on board,” he said.

He said that the district has invested considerable energy in professional staff development to ensure that teachers are knowledgeable about the Common Core standards in their respective areas. And to inform parents and other members of the public, the district has posted detailed information on its website on how the program is being implemented and how it will affect students.

For example, the special pages on the website spell out how Gilford second-graders studying English will need to write an informative composition in which they “introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points and provide a concluding statement.” Likewise in math, fifth-graders will need to “calculate geometric measurement, understand the concept of volume and relate volume to multiplication and addition.”

Forsten said that to date her district has not incurred any major additional expenses associated with bringing the new standards into Laconia classrooms. Teachers can make use of a variety resources, such as workshops and on-line information, to better prepare them for changes in the material they will present to students. She said that the classroom

technology which teachers and students use is adequate to the needs of the new curriculum. And while some school districts may purchase new textbooks as part of the roll-out of Common Core, Laconia has no plans to do so anytime soon, preferring to wait to see how the new Common Core-compatible texts shake out, she said.

“Textbooks are not what drive our teaching,” Forsten said. “They are a tool.”

Likewise the implementation has not had a major impact on the Gilford school budget.

“We’ve made choices within our normal budget spending,” Hemingway said. For example he said when the district decided to buy a new English text used in high school it chose one that placed greater emphasis on non-fiction writing — an area stressed on the Common Core standards.

Gilford’s classroom technology is ample enough for any changes which Common Core will bring, he added.

On the whole Forsten sees Common Core as a positive development in education.

“Overall, the (new) standards are higher, but not necessarily (higher) across the board,” she said.

According to the state Department of Education, Common Core standards specify what students should know and be able to do in each grade and by the end of high school to be college and career-ready.

Common Core supporters say how students get to that point is for each school system to decide.

The first critical test of Common Core’s success is expected to come in spring 2015 when the Smarter Balanced test will be required for students in Grades 3 through 8 as well as 11 for math and English language arts/literacy.

For Forsten Common Core is an improvement over No Child Left Behind, the 2001 law which required schools to test students annually and penalized those districts where too many students got poor or marginal test scores.

“No Child Left Behind had high accountability, but did not give (districts) guidance and direction that Common Core shows,” she said.

Hemingway believes Common Core standards will help students develop higher levels of thinking skills which will become evident when they are tested.

“When it comes to taking a test, they will be thinking rather than guessing,” he said.

from preceding page development.

Leavenworth is an all-male prison. Spokesman George Marcec said there had never been a case similar to Manning’s, and the soldier would need to petition for a transfer to a federal prison to receive hormone treatment.

As far as where Manning would be held, the prison staff has some leeway to separate them from the general population based on the security risk to themselves and others, Marcec said.

Manning has spent more than two years at a minimum-to-medium-security facility for pretrial prisoners at Leavenworth, but after sentencing, he was to be moved to military’s only maximum-security prison, which is also at Leavenworth.

Greg Rinckey, a former Army prosecutor and now a lawyer in Albany, N.Y., said he doubted the military would voluntarily move Manning to a civilian prison, but that a transfer could be ordered by a judge. He said if Manning dressed as a woman, the soldier might have to be segregated from the general population.

He also said the military was adamant about not providing hormone treatment.

“You enlisted as a male, you’re a male, you’re going to be incarcerated as a male,” he said.

Manning’s struggle with gender identity disorder — the sense of being a woman trapped in a man’s body — was key at his court-martial.

Retired Sgt. 1st Class Paul Adkins testified as a defense witness, saying in April 2010, just a month before Manning was arrested, the soldier emailed him a picture of himself in a blonde wig and lipstick with a letter titled, “My problem.”

“I don’t know what to do anymore, and the only ‘help’ that seems to be available is severe punishment and/

or getting rid of me,” the email said. “All I do know, is that fear of getting caught has caused me to go to great lengths to consciously hide the problem.”

Manning’s attorney said the email was evidence the military knew of Manning’s struggles, yet allowed him to stay in Iraq as an intelligence analyst and keep his security clearance.

Meanwhile, Coombs and supporters said they will ask the Army to reduce Manning’s sentence and they want President Obama to grant a pardon. The White House said the request would be considered “like any other application.”

However, a pardon seems unlikely. Manning’s case was part of an unprecedented string of prosecutions brought by the U.S. government in a crackdown on security breaches. The Obama administration has charged seven people with leaking to the media; only three people were prosecuted under all previous presidents combined.

The lawyer decried the government’s pursuit of Manning for what the soldier said was only an effort to expose wrongdoing and prompt debate of government policies among the American public.

The sentencing fired up the long-running debate over whether Manning was a whistleblower or a traitor for giving more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents, plus battlefield footage, to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. By volume alone, it was the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history, bigger even than the Pentagon Papers a generation ago.

Manning was found guilty last month of 20 crimes, including six violations of the Espionage Act, but was acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy, which carried a potential sentence of life in prison without parole.

FORRESTER from page one “Forrester and Bragdon owe the people of New Hampshire a full explanation — and this time an honest one — of their recent conversations about the LGC,” Kirstein declared.

Local Government Center is a quasi-public organization that oversees a health care trust, a workers’ compensation trust and a liability and property insurance trust for member municipalities. It is embroiled in litigation with numerous municipalities over $36 million is surplus funds it collected and has an appeal pending before the state Supreme Court.

Bragdon was originally one of five people targeted for recruitment by LGC’s board for the executive director position. He began working at LGC on August 14. At first he intended to remain as Senate president but later agreed that was inappropriate.

He will, however, keep his Senate seat.

A string of e-mails between Bragdon and George Bald, interim executive director of the LGC, indicate that Bragdon first took an interest in succeeding Bald following a recruitment conversation between the two on July 11. “It was a pleasure talking with you earlier today . . . quite an unexpected turn the conversation took,” Bragdon wrote, adding that he attached his resume.

Bald replied “I am glad you are giving this some consideration.”

The exchange of e-mails resumed on July 16, after Bragdon returned from a forum of state senate presidents in Seattle. After discounting concerns about conflicts of interest and indicating he could serve for 18 months or more, he remarked “I happened to be on the phone with Senator Forrester a few minutes ago, and given her background as a former town administrator, as well as having worked with people like Don Jutton at Municipal Resources, Inc., I thought I’d mention the conversation you and I had. Her reaction could not have been more positive to the idea.”

Three days later, on July 19, Bragdon — or Bragdon’s office — wrote to Forrester formally appointing her to the study committee.

“No wonder she was silent about the massive and inherent conflicts of interest in Bragdon’s new LGC job,” Kirstein wrote. “She knew about it nearly a month in advance and said nothing. What did Forrester and Bragdon discuss on July 16th?” he asked, calling Forrester’s appointment “a clear breach of the New Hampshire General Court’s Ethics guidelines.”

When Kirstein originally leveled the charges earlier this week, Forrester said that she was not aware that Bragdon was contemplating the position with the LGC when he approached her about serving on the study committee. She said that she could not recall just when this conversation occurred, but insisted it was before she knew of his interest in the LGC job. Likewise, Bragdon told the Concord Monitor that he appointed Forrester before he began considering the position. “Obviously I would stay from that,” he was quoted to say, “and most likely if there were legislation that came from that I would recuse myself from voting.”

Presented with the documentation released yesterday, Forrester clarified that she and Bragdon had separate conversations about the committee assignment and the LGC position. Again she insisted that when Bragdon verbally asked her and she agreed to serve on the study committee she was not aware of his interest in the LGC position, but could not recall just when that conversation took place, only that it was before she learned he was speaking with LGC. “I don’t know whether he was or he wasn’t,” she said. “It did not come up. He asked me if I would serve on the committee and I agreed.”

We had two conversations,” Forrester continued, confirming that Bragdon spoke to her about the position with LGC, presumably on July 16 as Bragdon’s e-mail indicated.. “He asked me If he could use me as a reference and I said absolutely. Senator Bragdon is an ethical and honest person and I thought he was well qualified for the position.”

Forrester rejected suggestions that Bragdon sought to “stack” the study committee, noting that the president of the Senate had only the one appointment and three of its five members are Democrats.

“He had to appoint a senator. You tell me how that is stacking the committee,” she said. Furthermore, she insisted “I can tell you with certainty that he didn’t call me to tell me how to vote.”

Mold found at the Winnisquam Middle School; first day delayed to at least Sept. 5 TILTON (AP) — The first day of school has been delayed at a middle school in Tilton, N.H., as crews deal with mold found on furniture, walls and lockers.

The Winnisquam Middle School isn’t expected to open now until at least Sept. 5.

School officials are holding an informational forum on Monday at Winnisquam Regional High School at 5 p.m.

The mold was discovered while custodians were cleaning the building in preparation of staff and students starting the new school year next week.

“We are taking precautionary measures to replace areas affected by the

moisture and mold, providing vigorous cleaning throughout the building and re-testing the air quality for normal outcomes,” Superintendent of Schools Tammy Davis said in a letter to staff and parents. “We are working with the industrial hygienist to control the moisture and prevent further mold growth.”

Davis told The Citizen the discovery of the mold was alarming, due to the fact that previous testing done in the building in the last two years showed no evidence of it.

“Air quality tests we have conducted have come back in the normal range,” she said Wednesday.

Correction: 233 volunteers assisted Got Lunch! Laconia A story about the Got Lunch! Laconia program that was published on Tuesday vastly understated the

number of volunteers who played a role this summer. The correct number is 233.

HERNANDEZ from page 2 Wallace is charged with accessory to murder after the fact. Prosecutors have said he was with Hernandez the night Lloyd died.

Singleton is charged with criminal contempt for refusing to testify before the grand jury, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said. She has been jailed since Aug. 1. A recent affidavit said that, after Lloyd’s killing, Singleton bought Wallace a bus ticket.

Carlos Ortiz, who faces a weapons charge connected to the case, was not indicted.

Sutter said Hernandez’s arraignment in Superior Court, where the case now moves, could come next week.

A jogger found Lloyd’s body on June 17 in a North Attleborough industrial park. Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward, called him a loving son who never hurt anyone.

Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd’s killing because he was upset at him for talking to people Her-

nandez had problems with at a nightclub days earlier. They say Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz picked Lloyd up at his home in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood early on June 17 and drove to the industrial park.

Shortly before Lloyd’s death, authorities say, he sent his sister text messages asking if she had seen who he was with.

“NFL,” he wrote. “Just so you know.”

Moments later, authorities say, Lloyd was dead after gunshots rang out near a warehouse after he apparently got out of the car for what he thought was a bathroom break.

Authorities have not said who fired the shots, but according to court documents released in Florida, Ortiz told police that Wallace said it was Hernandez.

Wallace earlier pleaded not guilty to a charge of accessory to murder after the fact. Ortiz pleaded not guilty to the firearm charge. A judge ordered Wallace held on $500,000 bail and Ortiz held without bail.

Calif. teen explains texts with man who kidnapped her

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A California teen whose mother and brother were killed by a family friend said on national television Thursday that she once confided with the man about troubles with her mother and explained text messages exchanged on the day of the attack.

Police say James Lee DiMaggio abducted Hannah Anderson and fled to the Idaho wilderness before he was killed by authorities.

In an interview on the NBC “Today” show, Hannah didn’t say how her family died, describe her interactions with DiMaggio during a massive manhunt, or offer details to explain why DiMaggio might have unleashed such violence.

In her first news interview since her dramatic rescue Aug. 10, Hannah said she wrote to DiMaggio about a year ago as he guided her through a rough patch with her mother.

“Me and him would talk about how to deal with it, and I’d tell him how I felt about it, and he’d help me through it. They weren’t anything bad. They were just to help me through tough times,” she said.

Hannah said she exchanged text messages on Aug. 3 with DiMaggio before she disappeared about where he should pick her up from cheerleading practice. Her statements corrected a search warrant that said the pair exchanged about 13 phone calls.

“The phone calls weren’t phone calls,” she said.

“They were texts because he was picking me up from cheer camp and he didn’t know the address or what, like, where I was, so I had to tell him.”

Jan Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, declined to comment on the content of the letters and text messages.

Hannah’s comments to NBC underscore the close relationship she had with DiMaggio, 40, who was like an uncle to her and her brother and her father’s best friend.

Hannah’s disappearance triggered a search for DiMaggio that spanned much of the western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico.

Christina Anderson, 44, was found dead near a crowbar and what appeared to be a pool of blood in the garage of DiMaggio’s home in Boulevard, a tiny town about 65 miles east of San Diego. The remains of Ethan Anderson, 8, were discovered in the rubble.

Hannah went online barely two days after she was rescued and answered hundreds of questions on social media, including some that described harrowing details of her ordeal. She said she was surprised by some cruel responses she got.

But she had a straightforward answer for why she talked online: “It just helps me grieve ... I’m going to go on it. I’m a teenager.”

She was at turns defiant and shaken in the NBC interview, declaring that she’s a survivor and plans to try to out for varsity gymnastics this year but breaking down when asked to describe her younger brother.

“In the beginning, I was a victim,” she said, “but now knowing everyone out there was helping I consider myself a survivor instead.”

COLLEGES from page 2 overreach and suggested a state-by-state approach would be preferable.

“Washington needs to be careful about taking a good idea for one state and forcing all 6,000 institutions of higher education to do the exact same thing, turning Washington into a sort of national school board for our colleges and universities,” Alexander said.

For colleges and universities, millions of federal aid dollars could be on the line if schools are downgraded under the government rating system.

However, if colleges line up against the idea of tying

ratings to federal aid, the proposal would face nearly impossible odds. Almost all members of Congress have colleges or universities in their districts, and a coordinated effort to rally students and educators against the plan would probably kill it quickly.

“This is extraordinarily complicated stuff, and it’s not clear we have the complete data or accurate data,” said Molly Corbett Broad, the president of the American Council on Education that represents colleges and universities in Washington.

GIGUEREAUTO.NET The Lakes Region’s #1 Truck, Auto & Powersport Dealer! from preceding page black bus for a road trip that was to take him through western and central New York as well as northeastern Pennsylvania over two days. The education-focused trip underscores the degree to which the White House is seeking to keep the president’s public agenda focused on domestic issues, even as international crises flair in Egypt and Syria.

“As we’re weighing these domestic policy positions and foreign policy decisions, the president puts the interests of the United States of America first,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. “The fact that we are doing this bus tour is an indication that the president has his priorities straight.”

The education proposals are part of the broader economic agenda Obama has been pitching across the country this summer. The tour is aimed at building public support for his economic policies ahead of fiscal fights with Congress this fall.

The rising cost of college has increasingly become a burden for many Americans. According to administration figures, the tuition costs at public, four-year universities has tripled over the last 30 years and average student loan debt stands at $26,000.

Over the past five years, the tuition sticker price at public four-year colleges is up 27 percent beyond overall inflation, according to a College Board survey. At private schools, the average student’s cost has risen 13 percent beyond overall inflation.

There has been little consensus among policymakers on how to curb college costs. While Obama’s proposal could give colleges an incentive to slow increases, it could also add massive reporting requirements that could be a burden on schools already struggling to make ends meet.

His attorneys previously made much of Bales’ repeated deployments and suggested that post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury may have played a role in the killings. But they offered no testimony from psychiatrists or other doctors, saying they saw little point in making the case a battle of the experts.

Instead, they rested their defense after Bales finished speaking Thursday. Closing arguments were scheduled Friday morning.

Brady plays half but Lions romp past Patriots 40-9 in 3rd pre-season game DETROIT (AP) — Reggie Bush wasn’t a factor at all in the running game for the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.

But he was more than OK as a receiver.

Bush, the multi-purpose back brought in to provide a spark for Detroit this season, ran for a single yard on six carries, but he had five catches for 103 yards in a 40-9 victory over New England.

The Patriots’ first-team offense, meanwhile, which was precise and efficient in the first two games of the exhibition season, was anything but in preseason game No. 3.

Tight end Zach Sudfeld and running backs Brandon Bolden and Shane Vereen lost fumbles and Tom Brady threw an interception in four of New England’s first five possessions. The other possession was a three-and-out that ended with Zoltan Mesko’s punt.

Brady played four series in the first two preseason games combined, com-

pleting 18 of his 20 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns in two victories. But in a half of work Thursday at Ford Field, he was 16 of 24 for 185 yards and the second-quarter interception by Detroit cornerback Chris Houston.

Detroit starter Matthew Stafford also played the entire first half, and helped lead Detroit’s first team to a better showing than it had in its first two exhibition efforts.

The starters played seven series in those games — a win over the Jets and a loss in Cleveland — and managed only a pair of field goals.

They produced three more field goals from David Akers against the Patriots, but also added Stafford’s 9-yard touchdown toss to a diving Tony Scheffler in the end zone that gave the Lions a 10-0 lead 2 minutes into the second quarter.

Akers’ first field goal, a 23-yarder, was set up by a Bush’s 67-yard catch and run.

from preceding page from one of his defense attorneys, Emma Scanlan, as his wife cried in the front row of the courtroom. Bales himself briefly became emotional, especially choking up as he apologized to his fellow soldiers.

“I love the Army, I’ve stood next to some really good guys, some real heroes,” he said. “I can’t say I’m sorry to those guys enough.

“Nothing makes it right,” he added.

“So many times before I’ve asked myself. I don’t know why. Sorry just isn’t good enough. I’m sorry.”

His statements were not made under oath, which prevented prosecutors from cross-examining him.

Bales described in detail the trouble he had readjusting to civilian life after his deployments to Iraq. He became angry all the time, he said, and he was mad at himself for that.

“Normal course of life became hard in that, you know, waiting in traffic, terrible,” he said. “Certain smells would just drive me nuts. Washing the dishes I’d just be mad about, for no reason.”

He began drinking heavily, hiding bottles and sleeping pills from his wife.

He fleetingly began to see a counselor, but quit because he didn’t think it was working and he didn’t want others to find him weak.

His perpetual rage worsened as he deployed to Afghanistan in late 2011, taking steroids while there. He lashed out frequently at junior soldiers, he said, in ways he’s now embarrassed about.

Bales said he spent almost the entire day before the murders venting his anger by chopping and sawing a large tree that the soldiers had taken down near the base.

Bales’ lawyers tried to paint a sympathetic picture of the soldier to contrast his own admissions and the testimony of angry Afghan villagers about the horror he wrought.

Former pro football player Marc Edwards testified Thursday as a character witness, telling jurors he remembered Bales as a great leader from their high school days in Norwood, Ohio.

Wearing the Super Bowl ring he won with the New England Patriots in 2002, Edwards said the slightly older Bales “took me under his wing” and was magnanimous when Edwards took his position at starting linebacker.

The jurors on Thursday also heard from two soldiers who served with Bales in Iraq. One described how they sometimes had to collect the bodies of casualties, and how Bales helped carry civilians wounded and killed at the Battle of Zarqa in 2007.

Flynn leads Waukewan Ladies League in a day of low scores After the previous week’s rainout (forth of the season), the Waukewan Ladies League played their August 20 nine-hole round. The ladies demonstrated that drier conditions do contribute to improved scores as 15 of the 46 golfers shot 50 and under. After all the other names were read, Jane Flynn’s score of 44 was high-lighted by President Linda Ridlon as the low score of the day. Despite Jane’s quiet smile, it was obvious that she was thrilled.

The rest of the story began with Gloria Ferland, Val Langbehn, Jan Pano, Linda Ridlon and Barb Saimond all shooting a 47, an exuberant Sue Connelly shooting a 48, Charlotte Gregory, Gerry McGillicuddy and Brenda Trudeau-49, and Denise Doyle, Laurie Fox, Marcia Ryan, Kathleen Sweeney, and Ellen Vail, all with 50. And speaking of 50, Rose Hansford was the lucky 50/50 drawing winner.

Scorekeepers Kathy Sweeney and Laurie Fox handed Ridlon the names of the other golfers to be recognized. Ridlon noted that there were no “chipins” today even though the game of the week was named “Two Low Putts plus Two”. This format translated as adding the two low putts of the foursome for each hole, except for the par three’s, where three low putts were to be added. With strategy in play for this format, leaving one’s ball on the fringe would allow one less “putt” for the putting score and see WAUKEWAN next page

With attendance of over 600 people last year and 250 competition entries the New England Homebrewers Jamboree is quickly becoming New England’s premier gathering of homebrewers. A veritable beervana for homebrewers and enthusiasts, the two day event includes a Friday night Brewers BBQ and Club Reception. Saturday’s events include an onsite homebrew competition, a “Homebrewers Alley” featuring homebrew clubs from throughout New England, raffles, brewing demonstrations, a tie dye tent, live music and awards.

Homebrewers may enter the competition for a fee of $3 per entry (2 12oz. or 1 22 oz. bottles). Judging is held on Saturday from 12-5, categories will include several categories of beer, wine, meads and ciders.

Those lucky enough to be of legal age may sign up to judge the morning of the Jamboree. ID’s will be checked.

Entertainment will include children’s games and activities. Live music throughout the day is provided

by Go-Local Music and will feature many great New England artists. There will be a food vendor on site for Saturday lunch, Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast. her putt from 24 ft. away to achieve her 3, and Ellen Vail and Val Langbehn each scored a 2 on the par 3 seventh hole to win their recognition. Val’s drive traversed the bunker in front of the green to end up 15 ft. from the pin and Ellen’s drive had the same plan in mind, only ended up 3-4 ft. from the pin.

The “contest holes” were all about “long” this week and the two longest drives certainly met that description. Denise Doyle (19 and below handicap division) drove her ball about 200 yds. on hole 6 and Kathy Boselli drove her ball on the 300 yard second hole to a point where she was just a chip shot away from the green. Ellen Vail won the “longest putt” contest on hole 9 with a 19 ft. 1 in. putt that out distanced all the other contestant’s putts.

These winners took no time in picking their prize from Carol Ashton’s prize table.

The end of the season business was discussed with the upcoming 40th Invitational “Heart of a Woman” taking center stage. Excitement is building for the September 11th event. The New Hampshire American Heart Association will be this year’s charity.

Shaker Village commemorating 50th anniversary of King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech on Wednesday CANTERBURY — Canterbury Shaker Village will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s I Have A Dream Speech with a special “Shakers & Equality: Let Freedom Ring” tour on Wednesday, August 28 at 2 p.m. The tour, which is free with museum admission, will connect visitors with the Shaker ideals of gender and racial equality. The tour will culminate in the ringing of the 500 lb. Paul Revere bell atop the Dwelling House at 3 p.m.

On August 28, 1963 at 3 p.m. Dr. Martin Luther King first uttered one of the most powerful and memorable phrases in American history, “I have a dream.”

Dr. King’s I Have a Dream Speech marked a crucial turning point in the American Civil Rights movement and asserted his absolute commitment to a nonviolent approach to confronting America’s entrenched system of racial bias. In it, he urged Americans to let freedom ring “....from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.” His words resound through the years, celebrating the progress America has made in the quest for racial justice, and recalling us to the challenges that still confront us as a nation.

In the spirit of what Dr. King called “the fierce urgency of now,” the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change has invited people across the coun-

OBITUARY

FURNITURE • MATTRESSES

Irene C. Richardson, 92 SANBORNTON — Irene Clement Richardson passed away April 26, 2013 in Jupiter Florida at the age of 92 after a brief illness.

She was born March 8, 1921 along with her twin sister Eileen Clement Novicki to Ralph and Catherine (Hannagan) Clement.

Irene was well known in the Lakes Region and was sometimes called “twinnie” because people often had a difficult time differentiating between her and her identical twin sister Eileen.

She was raised on the Clement family horse farm in Meredith, NH. along with three sisters and three brothers, Myrtle, Frank, Ralph, Eileen, Norman and Kathleen (Dolly).

She attended Catholic school as a young girl before attending and graduating from Laconia High School in 1939.

She originally married the late Chester L. Novicki of Lakeport, NH. They divorced and she married the love of her life, the late Robert Lee Richardson, Sr. of Lakeport, NH. Irene and Robert moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 1950 to start a new life. They retired and returned to New Hampshire in the 1980s and settled in Sanbornton on Lake Winnissquam, NH. They wintered in Tequesta, Florida.

Irene is survived by three sons, Chester J. Novicki

Richardson, Jr. of Tuolumne, Ca.; six grandchildren, Alan Novicki of the Philippines, Edward Novicki and Kyle Richardson of Honolulu, Hi, and Robert Richardson III, Jennifer (Richardson) Radetich, and Glen Richardson, and two great grandchildren Teddy and Abby Radetich, all of Tuolumne, Ca. as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers Frank Riley, Ralph Clement, Jr., and Norman Clement, and her sisters Myrtle McIntyre and Kathleen “Dolly” Williams.

Irene was a homemaker her whole life and a devoted Catholic. She loved to keep in touch and loved to write letters to family and friends.

Irene lived a comfortable full life.

Irene has one surviving sibling, her twin sister Eileen Novicki of The Manors Nursing Home, Hobe Sound, Florida.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 23, 2013 — Page 19

Winni Playhouse presenting first professional world premiere MEREDITH — It’s just another day on tour for the Kelly Family Circus where backstage life supplies as many laughs, thrills, and dramatic moments as the afternoon’s performance.

A young girl’s visit to the circus and the surprise romance between two performers has ripple effects on all the members of the circus family including the jugglers, trapeze artists, tightrope walkers and, of course, clowns.

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s Executive Director Bryan Halperin’s dramatic comedy, which runs from August 28 through September 1, is the Playhouse’s first ever professional world premiere.

Halperin had a lot of support from the professional actors who saw something in his work and encouraged him to continue you with it. Actors Adam Kee, Richard Brundage, Tonya Free, and Jaydie Becket Halperin read the play out loud for Halperin two summers ago and that gave him the confidence he needed to bring the script to life and show it to the Playhouse audience.

He says, “I wrote this play with our Lakes Region community and The Winnipesaukee Playhouse audience in mind.

I think our community likes plays that make people laugh as well as touch the heart. My goal in everything I do at the Playhouse is to have people leave our campus saying “I’m glad I came today” - I think this play will achieve that.”

The actors include Richard Brundage, Adam Hadas, Tonya Free, Alex Jacobs, Adam Kee, and Jaydie Becket Halperin.

Although this is Jaydie’s first appearance on the Playhouses main stage, she is no stranger to Winnipesaukee Playhouse audiences. Jaydie is thrilled to be appearing onstage with some of the professional actors she has been watching on the Playhouse stage for years. The director, Patricia Runcie-Rice is thrilled to return to the Playhouse for her 7th season.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 20 years. He has four children with his ex-wife, who lives nearby. The divorce was not pleasant, and my husband still has a lot of resentment. Neither of us is comfortable around the ex.

So how do I explain to my 30-year-old stepdaughter, “Susie,” that when we have gatherings with his kids, we don’t want to include their mother? Three of their kids live in the area and can visit Mom whenever they wish. When Susie comes into town, all of the kids gather at their mother’s, and she never invites us. That’s fine. But for some reason, Susie feels that since her mother is single and “alone,” she should be invited to our home whenever Susie is in town.

Until now, I’ve been nice about it and included her. But I recently found out that the ex has been saying hurtful things about me to the kids, who apparently don’t defend me. I’ve always made myself available for emergency calls, babysitting the grandchildren, etc. How do I handle the next visit?

-- No Longer So Nice Dear No: With kindness. The ex is going to say bitter things, and when her kids are with her, they don’t defend you because it would create a problem with their mother.

We urge you not to make an issue of this. They obviously have a decent relationship with you, and this should not be taken lightly. It’s also possible that Mom, with her own insecurities, is pressuring Susie. You don’t have to include her in everything you plan, but please be the bigger person and do so when you can.

Dear Annie: I’m a healthy, active, happily married 61-yearold female. I work part time, but after all these years, I find the work monotonous. I exercise and socialize at the local fitness facility, but that’s kind of same old, same old. Then I go home, do some cleaning and organizing, and end up

looking for things to do.

I don’t know where I’m going or what to do with myself.

My husband is a few years younger. We have different interests, so he isn’t going to be helpful. I keep an eye open for volunteer opportunities, but haven’t seen anything that’s a good fit. I know I’m lucky and am not complaining. But do you have any suggestions for me? -- Montreal West Island, Quebec Dear Quebec: First, decide where your interests lie. Do you enjoy the arts? Join a choir or theater group. Sign up for an art class or learn guitar. Do you like working with kids? Volunteer with a literacy program or at a children’s hospital. Interested in civics? Offer your time to a local politician, or check city hall for opportunities to make a difference in your community. Can you help at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen? What about your local library or chamber of commerce? Try meetup.com or the Red Hat Society (redhatsociety.org). You may need to try out a few places before you find something that’s a “good fit,” but please don’t give up. Many places would welcome someone with your energy.

Dear Annie: “California” wondered whether it was rude to read his hosts’ newspaper before they woke up. I, too, like to read my paper with my morning coffee.

Here’s my solution: When I travel, I take my home paper with me. I then buy a local paper at a gas station, convenience store or some place in the town I am visiting. I tend to buy additional papers from surrounding towns. Since the people I am visiting usually subscribe to only one newspaper, they enjoy reading the additional ones I bring. That way, I have several papers to read at my leisure, and my hosts have theirs. -- Another Early News Addict

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

to the appropriate person. Hint: People who can’t organize their own thoughts won’t be able to organize others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll come face to face with many sides of human nature today: friendly, impatient, concerned, frustrated, confused and more. The best part of your day will involve helping people into a better state of mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because there is so much competing for your attention, you’ll appreciate people who can simply state a need or tell you exactly what to do.

Those people will also be your gateway to good fortune.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are consequences to every action, but some take much, much longer to realize. You will now experience the result of something you did many years ago.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 23). You’ll follow intuitive nudges into a sweet deal in the next 10 weeks. This could start a new career.

A virtual friend will become an actual friend in September. December brings a welcome change in your family. January is your shot at the big leagues. March shows renovations to your home or image. Cancer and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 27, 26, 1 and 9.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Polite niceties are important and cannot be skipped.

They can, however, be presented out of order.

Say the thing that sparks the most interest first, and people will remember you and your message fondly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get the chance to develop an interest that is unusual or so outside of your main focus that you can’t see how it could possibly help you reach a goal -- and yet it will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You accept the various personality differences that make up your social landscape. You don’t expect people to behave in the way that you prefer or can predict. These habits allow you to have a complaint-free existence today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s another one of those days to hold some of your stories back. It will help you tune in to others and listen more carefully. You’ll glean valuable information from the nuances of how people are talking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though you like to see the evidence that people love you, you find it embarrassing at times, too.

You can’t control the flow of attention coming at you, but you’ll deflect it well today if it’s unwanted.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Regardless of how important you are to the team (and you are very important), you may not be treated as an individual now. You won’t mind, though, as you feel the surge of power that comes from being a part of something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). For someone to appreciate what you do, he or she will have to experience it. This is one reason to delegate a job to someone who is not really qualified to do it, but who nonetheless should have the experience of trying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Big ideas that are not presented with the fanfare they deserve will go unrecognized in a sea of mediocrity. Don’t let this happen to you. Present your idea in the kind of light that will make it shine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be doling out work, so be sure to fit each job

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 23, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Aug. 23, the 235th day of 2013. There are 130 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 23, 1973, a bank robbery-turnedhostage-taking began in Stockholm, Sweden; the four hostages ended up empathizing with their captors, a psychological condition now referred to as “Stockholm Syndrome.”

On this date: In 1305, Scottish rebel leader Sir William Wallace was executed by the English for treason.

In 1775, Britain’s King George III proclaimed the American colonies to be in a state of “open and avowed rebellion.”

In 1858, “Ten Nights in a Bar-room,” a play by Timothy Shay Arthur about the perils of drinking alcohol, opened in New York.

In 1912, actor, dancer, director and choreographer Gene Kelly was born Eugene Curran Kelly in Pittsburgh.

In 1913, Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue, inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen story, was unveiled in the harbor of the Danish capital.

In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World War I. In 1926, silent film star Rudolph Valentino died in New York at age 31.

In 1927, amid protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery.

In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a non-aggression treaty, the MolotovRibbentrop Pact, in Moscow.

In 1944, Romanian prime minister Ion Antonescu was dismissed by King Michael, paving the way for Romania to abandon the Axis in favor of the Allies.

In 1960, Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein II, 65, died in Doylestown, Pa. In 1982, Lebanon’s parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president; however, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.

Ten years ago: Former priest John Geoghan, the convicted child molester whose prosecution sparked the sex abuse scandal that shook the Roman Catholic Church nationwide, died after another inmate attacked him in a Massachusetts prison. All-Star baseball player Bobby Bonds, slugger Barry Bonds’ father, died at age 57.

Five years ago: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama introduced his choice of running mate, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, before a crowd outside the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. Two foreign journalists, Canadian Amanda Lindhout and Australian Nigel Brennan, were kidnapped near Mogadishu, Somalia; both were freed after 15 months in captivity. At the Beijing Olympics, the United States won gold in the women’s and men’s 1,600-meter relay track events.

The U.S. women’s basketball team beat Australia 92-65 to win a fourth straight gold medal.

One year ago: First lady Michelle Obama consoled relatives of worshippers gunned down at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee. Lance Armstrong chose not to pursue arbitration in the drug case brought against him by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, setting the stage for his Tour de France titles to be stripped and his name to be all but wiped from the record books of the sport he once ruled.
