WASHINGTON (AP) — Courting con-frontation and compromise alike, House Republicans shrugged off President Barack Obama’s threat to veto legislation to cut federal spending by trillions of dollars on Monday while simultaneously negotiating with him over more modest steps to avert a potential government default.

The Republican bill demands deep spending reductions and congressional approval of a balanced budget amend-ment to the Constitution in exchange for raising the nation’s debt limit. But Obama

LONDON (AP) — Scotland Yard’s assis-tant commissioner resigned Monday, a day after his boss also quit, and fresh investi-gations of possible police wrongdoing were launched in the phone hacking scandal that has spread from Rupert Murdoch’s media empire to the British prime minis-ter’s office.

Prime Minister David Cameron called an emergency session of Parliament on the scandal and cut short his visit to Africa to try to contain the widening crisis. Law-makers on Tuesday are to question Mur-

TOKYO (AP) — This Japanese flower bloomed just when the country needed it most.

A nation reeling from months of tragedy united in joyous cel-ebration Monday after its women’s soccer team — nicknamed “Nade-shiko” for a pink moun-tain flower — won the World Cup by beating the United States.

Fans decked out in the team’s dark blue colors hugged and sang in Tokyo as they watched the players lift the World Cup on live TV broadcasts from Germany.

On Tuesday morning, thousands of joyous, flag-waving fans turned out to greet the team as they arrived home, and two fire trucks shot out celebratory arches of water over the team’s aircraft as it approached the ter-minal at Tokyo’s Narita Airport.

Obama threatens veto of House spending cutswill veto it if it reaches his desk, the White House said, asserting the legislation would “lead to severe cuts in Medicare and Social Security” and impose unrealistic limits on education spending.

In response, GOP lawmakers said they would go ahead with plans to pass the bill on Tuesday. “It’s disappointing the White House would reject this common-sense plan to rein in the debt and deficits that are hurting job creation in America,” Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio said.

By contrast, neither the administration

nor congressional officials provided substan-tive details on an unannounced meeting that Obama held Sunday with the two top House Republican leaders, Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.

Obama said late Monday the two sides were “making progress.”

Several Republicans said privately the decision to vote on veto-threatened legisla-tion is paradoxically designed to clear the way for a compromise. They said conserva-tives would have a chance to push their

In a further twist, a former News of the World reporter who helped blow the whis-tle on the scandal was found dead Monday in his home, but it was not believed to be suspicious.

Murdoch shut down the News of the World tabloid after it was accused of hacking into the voice mail of celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims.

The crisis has roiled the upper ranks of

Britain’s police, with Monday’s resignation of Assistant Commissioner John Yates — Scotland Yard’s top anti-terrorist officer — following that on Sunday of police chief Paul Stephenson over their links to Neil Wallis, an arrested former executive from Murdoch’s shuttered News of the World tabloid whom police had employed as a media consultant.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey rabbi and his wife surren-dered to the FBI on Monday on charges that they abducted an Israeli man, beat him and threat-ened to bury him alive if he didn’t give his wife a religious divorce.

The case against David Wax and his wife in U.S. federal court marks a strange twist in a chain of events that started with a divorce dispute in Israel’s Rabbinical Court over the vic-tim’s refusal to give his wife a “get,” an Orthodox Jewish divorce docu-ment permitting a wife to remarry.

It also entangles a prominent reli-gious fi gure and publisher of Jewish texts, described as a “pillar of the community” of Lakewood, N.J., a large Orthodox enclave and center of Jewish learning.

David Wax, 49, and Judy Wax, 47, made a brief appearance in federal court Monday before being released on $500,000 bond each. A grand jury will decide whether to indict them on kidnapping charges, which could result in a life sentence if they are convicted.

TORONTO (AP) — The organizer of an Ottawa music festival where the stage col-lapsed during a sudden storm, scurrying thou-sands of fans who were watching the band Cheap Trick, called the accident “a freak situ-ation” at a press conference Monday.

Organizers had been monitoring the weather moments before a violent summer gale toppled the main stage at the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest on Sunday night, said Mark Monahan, the festival’s executive director.

Three people were hospitalized for their injuries but were later released, Monahan said. The band’s truck driver was among the injured. Some concertgoers said it was a miracle that nobody died.

“Honestly, what we’ve been told, it was a very unusual situation. The fact that (the storm) brought that stage down and nothing else came down in the park is just a freak situation,” Monahan said.

Cheap Trick had been playing for about 20 minutes when howling winds and storm suddenly clouds blew in. The band quickly left as the stage began to collapse, sending about 10,000 fans scrambling to make their way to safety.

“Everyone is shaken up but band and

Cheap Trick lead singer Robin Zander wrote on Facebook: “Fortunately the band and crew are all lucky to be alive and we’ll see you down the road. And all the best to our truck driver Sandy.”

New Jersey rabbi & wife accused on kidnapping & beating Israeli man in trying to secure at ‘get’

“We’re confi dent that when all the facts are made public, he’ll be cleared of these charges and his good and honorable name will be restored,” Mitchell Ansell, David Wax’s attor-ney, told The Associated Press.

Absent from U.S. court documents is the name of the victim, Yisrael Briskman, who apparently fl ed Israel after refusing to grant a divorce. But his name shows up in a 2008 public notice from the High Rab-binical Court of Jerusalem, placed in religious publications in Israel and abroad announcing a ruling against Briskman in the divorce case.

The notice forbids community members from doing business with Briskman, allowing him to study in a Jewish seminary or giving him a place to stay. Under the headline “Wanted,” it calls upon the public to notify the court of Briskman’s whereabouts.

“It is not permitted to extend to him a kindness or favor in any form,” the notice reads.

Two years later, according to the FBI complaint, Briskman was lured

to the Wax’s Lakewood home on Oct. 16, 2010, to discuss opportunities for Briskman to work on a book the rabbi was writing about the Talmud, a cen-tral Jewish text. Once in the home, two men allegedly pounced on Brisk-man from behind before handcuffi ng, blindfolding and robbing him.

The complaint says the blindfold was adjusted so Briskman could see a cowboy hat-clad David Wax as he started kicking him in the ribs. Wax allegedly told Briskman he’d be buried alive in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains if he didn’t relent to the divorce, and hauled a dark body bag into the room.

“For you to get used to the size,” the complaint quotes Wax as saying.

David Wax is also charged with making a phone threat to Brisk-man’s father in Israel, telling him he would be killed in Israel if he didn’t pay Briskman’s wife $100,000.

“For you there’s a special gift. It’s called a bullet,” Wax allegedly said in an international phone call recorded by Briskman’s father.

Pat Buchanan

Though President Obama has run rings about the Republican Party in the debt-ceiling debate, that party can yet emerge victorious, if it will stick to its guns.

Clearly, the Republican strategy was not thought through, when the party chose the debt ceiling as the legislative terrain on which to fight its fiscal war. The president had wanted a clean debt-ceiling increase, but he seized the GOP challenge with alacrity. He invited House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor down to the White House and reportedly offered $3-trillion in spending cuts for $1-trillion in fresh revenue, in a historic “big deal” to cut the deficit.

However, the cuts the president offered were, while attractive, gauzy. But the revenues — closing “loop-holes” and ending “tax breaks for the rich” — were hard and specific. Had Boehner accepted the deal, he would not have survived as speaker. Fully 235 GOP House members signed a pledge in 2010 not to vote for any tax increase.

Thus, every day Boehner and Cantor departed the White House, having refused to accept “the deal of the century,” the message that went out to the nation was that Republi-can intransigence, a refusal to com-promise, was blocking historic deficit reduction. Using the White House bully pulpit, Obama portrayed him-self as bending over backward to do a fair deal and being forced, if the GOP continued to balk, to stop mailing out Social Security checks.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned of a U.S. default on its debts if there were no deal. Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s warned that the United States was imperiling its AAA credit rating. The big media painted the GOP as a party led by reasonable men who were hostage to fanatics being pandered to by Cantor.

Why did Boehner refuse the Obama temptation?

Had he accepted the deal, his party in the House would have split asun-der. Half would have voted “no.” To force its passage, Boehner would have had to collude with Minority Leader Steny Hoyer, against scores in his own caucus, to get Democratic votes.

Though House Republicans have been mussed up in the last two weeks, the White House “negotia-tions” now appear at an end, and a liberated Republican House is about to pass its own deficit-reduc-tion plan. “Cut, cap and balance” calls for cuts in federal spending to 20-percent of gross domestic prod-uct, a cap on federal programs and the enactment of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, which would crush federal spending to 18-percent of the economy from today’s 25.

The long retreat of liberalism

While this may clear the House, it stands little chance in the Senate. But it puts the party on the offensive. It will eat up the clock. It will put the GOP on record as to where it stands and provide the Tea Party Caucus a chance to vote its convictions.

But if the GOP House plan dies in the Senate, how does the GOP win? Again, by simply standing its ground on taxes, and waiting. This weekend, Democrats and Repub-licans, Congress and the White House agreed the debt ceiling will be raised, and Obama accepted the reality that he will not be getting any new revenue.

This means that, at the end of this process, Obama will sign a debt-ceil-ing increase that involves $2-trillion or $1.5-trillion or $1-trillion in spend-ing cuts, with no new taxes and no new revenues. And that is a victory for whom, and a defeat for whom?

Republicans may have been beaten up for most of July, but come August, Democrats will be asking Barack Obama what exactly he and they got for agreeing to serious cuts in social spending, while the Repub-lican right compromised on nothing and gave up nothing. Obama won the public relations battle, but the Republicans, if they hold firm on no revenue enhancement and no new taxes, are fated to win the war. And not just this one.

For, from Greece to Ireland to Por-tugal to Italy, from California to Wis-consin to New Jersey to New York, the crisis of the West is a crisis of liberalism. Deficits and debts that threaten to wipe out bondholders and banks, destroy currencies, bring down governments and bankrupt nations are everywhere forcing reductions in government payrolls and rollbacks in government programs.

Across the West, the public sector is under siege. And parties of the left, be they liberal, socialist or Marxist, depend on the public sector increasing its employees, increas-ing its beneficiaries, increasing its share of the national wealth. That is what they do. That is how they grow. And that is how they reach and retain power.

Bottom line. Parties of the left are on this earth to grow the govern-ment. But the West has entered a period where its economic survival and the prevention of financial col-lapse mandate constant and deep cuts in the size and sweep of gov-ernment.

For the left, this is going to be a long decade.

LETTERSDorothy may not be in Kansas anymore but it feels like we areTo the editor,

This is about Kansas and its Planned Parenthood phobia/retaliation-against. It could be about New Hampshire. Who on our New Hampshire Execu-tive Council assumes us to be predomi-nantly fundamentalist evangelicals? Or have we a quiet, hidden connection with the Koch brothers at the Executive Council level?

Kansas is serious about perma-nently defunding Planned Parent-hood. So serious, in fact, that it is prepared to spend hundreds of thou-sands of tax-payer dollars on law-yers to do so. Last month “(Kansas) passed a measure stripping Planned Parenthood of all funding over the straw-man argument of ‘taxpayer-funded abortions’. Planned Parent-hood struck back, suing the state for improperly blocking the $334,000 in Title X family planning funds. But rather than use the attorney general’s office to defend the suit, Governor Sam Brownback hired Foulston Siek-fin, a firm who just happens to repre-sent the billionaire Koch brothers.”

“This is a state whose budget is in bad shape, run by Republicans who

campaigned on fixing budget prob-lems, and they’re spending thousands of dollars on outside counsel to keep Planned Parenthood from getting federal family planning funds,” said Peter Brownlie, executive director of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

Sounds somewhat like our new New Hampshire, doesn’t it?

In the Kansas debacle, Planned Parenthood is represented by a team of pro-bono attorneys in Washington, D.C., with one local Wichita attorney.

“The economic waste generated by the Brownback administration’s assault on poor women is simply mind-boggling, especially in such bleak economic times,” says my online article, and I think that applies to New Hampshire’s Executive Coun-cil. Sadly, poor women or struggling young women are in our Executive Council’s guns’ crosshairs.

People don’t vote for principal, they vote for rhetoric & it showsTo the editor,

Today will be the result of the ini-tial vote on whether to raise the debt ceiling. The tally will be a tale of the difference between those whose char-acter demands to be remembered, and those whose character demands to be admonished.

While cloaked in the guise of a doing what is best for America, all is actu-ally a ruse of profound disappoint-ment and disillusionment regarding human society and an open abuse of elected power.

Based on results, the liberal voting block (both parties included) sitting in their Congressional seats have no longer chosen to lead; they have proven that their vote is “for sale” via closed door deals and special inter-est groups that continue to walk our hallowed halls to retain their power influence. While cloaked in the guise of protecting our national assets, they should realize our profound disap-pointment and our growing display

of a no confidence vote towards their actions. Of course, there a few great men and women that are left to exist in the shadows, while the arrogant grandstanders wield political power. However, our accountability is that we elected them; we are in their hands and now the discourse is collectively our fault. It is because of a lack of awareness, a lack of knowledge, and a lack of history that created it and put them in those seats.

People don’t vote for principle — they vote for rhetoric. And it shows.

I will miss the era gone by where we could witness great men and women doing great things left to be done. Trying to bring others out the darkness as to what is happening in Washington and to our nation is an un-daunting task but not impossible. Our success or failure hangs in the balance but this time — it really is the results that count.

LETTERSWhy should city use up its CDBG allotment on Federal Building? The consequences of default could include a banking collapse

To the editor,When Greece’s debt problems

emerged last year it was dismissed as trivial because of the country’s 2.5-percent weight in Europe’s GDP. Here at home problems in the sub-prime-mortgage market were once regarded as too obscure to affect the entire American economy. Things can be different than they appear.

The failure to fi x the Greek situa-tion has allowed the problems fester and spread. Now there are problems in Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy. On June 12th Italian 10-year bond yields briefl y rose above 6-percent; the spread (interest rate differential) over German bonds was more than three percentage points.

We currently spend about $.40 of every tax dollar on debt service. If America has its bond rating down-graded. The interest on our debt will necessarily increase. If the aver-age cost of our debt were 3-percent and the damage to our credit rating caused the interest rate on the debt to rise to 6-percent as in the Italian example the amount we would have to pay on the debt would start to rise and by the time we have refi nanced all of our debt we would be paying 80-per-cent of all taxes collected in debt ser-vice. Even if the downgrade results in an additional .5-percent the bite on tax dollars would be signifi cant.

It is too early to assume the Greek and the larger European fi nancial crisis is over. They are in a situation similar in some respects to where we are headed. The problem of how the most indebted European nations will reduce their debt burdens without faster economic growth has not been addressed.

European politicians blame declines in currencies on speculators who fail to understand that countries were com-mitted to maintaining their exchange-rate parities. Politicians seem to feel that they must establish the primacy of politics over the markets. The mar-kets often send useful signals about the unsustainability of economic poli-cies. Sometimes it would be well if pol-iticians listened more and talked less. If you don’t want to worry about the views of bond investors, don’t borrow a lot of money from them.

In the early 1990s, governments had to choose between defending their exchange rates and the health of their economies. Now they have to choose

between disappointing the bond mar-kets and imposing austerity on their voters. The correct answer in the fi rst case would have been to not promise more than they were able to deliver. This would have precluded the need to impose anything on anyone. All they had to do was recognize that having more checks does not mean you have more money.

For Britain, the defi ning moment came when an interest-rate increase of three percentage points failed to prop up the pound. Stock markets began rallying within minutes as traders worked out that the then Con-servative government could never sustain such high rates. The price in unemployment and distress in the housing market would be too great. Sure enough, by the evening, the fi nance minister announced that Brit-ain would leave the Exchange Rate Mechanism.

The effects were almost entirely benign. The British economy recov-ered and there was no sign of the surge in infl ation that had been predicted as a consequence of devaluation. But European politicians concluded from this example that the answer was to remove the infl uence of foreign-exchange markets within Europe by pushing ahead with the single cur-rency. As a result of the prior decisions the choices this time round are more stark. Instead of tightening monetary policy to defend the currency, govern-ments have to tighten fi scal policy to try to keep the lid on their borrowing costs. This will involve years of aus-terity.

The consequences of default, which could include a banking collapse and inaccessible capital markets, would be far more painful than those of devalu-ation. That is why peripheral govern-ments in the euro zone have so far swallowed their medicine, although not without a lot of grumbling and plenty of fi nancial help from their neighbors.

None of this is popular in the coun-tries that give and receive fi nancial aid. There may yet come a Black Wednesday moment when politicians cannot ask any more of voters. Per-haps it will be the legislative defeat of an austerity budget or the election of a populist party. Then the markets may be thrown into turmoil.

To the editor,Why should the City of Laconia use

up its annual $500,000 Community Development Block Grant option for the renovation of the Federal Build-ing for Lakes Region Community Services? This non-profi t provides needed services for all 10 municipali-ties in Belknap County. Belknap’s 10 municipality are each eligible to apply for a $500,000 grant. The cumulative annual CDBG funding limit of $500,000 X 10 = $5,000,000. If all 10 municipalities participated in this endeavor, no one municipality would be prevented from applying for 90-percent of its projects.

1. Grant rules require the City Council specifi cally adopt a resolution authorizing the fi ling of this GRANT application AND directing the city manager to act in connection with the application AND to provide such information as may be required.

2. No “carte blanche”/blank check legislation allows the City Council to delegate its powers of appropriation. If a new purpose/appropriation is off-set by a grant’s revenue, the spe-cifi c grant-related amounts must be included in the annual budget, or if after adoption of the annual budget, it shall be governed by the supplemen-tal appropriation process.

3. A notice of the hearing shall spec-ify the grounds for the hearing as well as the date, time, and place. In the case of CDBG, a notice of the hearing shall be published in a newspaper of gen-eral circulation in the municipality, AND a legal “notice” SHALL ALSO be posted in at least three public places of which, by ordinance, City Hall and the Laconia Public Library are two of three. The THIRD location within

the city limits has yet to be found. This hearing shall be held BEFORE the City Council takes any FINAL ACTION regarding the FILING of THE application.

4. On JULY 11, 2011, the council had a fi rst reading of a Resolution Relative to Making Itemized Appro-priations for ANTICIPATED Grants for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2011 and terminating June 30, 2012. No reference to fi ling for a grant exist. (NB, 3, g)

a. NH Revised Annotated Statutes DO NOT provide for an individual line item for anticipated unknown appropriation amount, dependent on an unknown source or amount of rev-enues in an annual budget? Where is the provision for allowing any blank checks?

This grant requires a $25,000 appropriation for reporting the grant’s activities specifi cally off-set by the anticipated $25,000 Grant REV-ENUE. Each and every Grant has an impact on the Grand Total Estimate of Appropriation/Revenues, THE SUM OF ALL THE INDIVIDUAL LINE ITEMS.

The city manager has no appro-priating power EVER. The council cannot delegate it power to appropri-ate to anyone. The only taxing author-ity in Laconia is the City Council.

Also, the Grant Resolution fails to designate the city manager or a des-ignee to act in connection with the application as required.

Considering the CDBG $500K annual limit, and two grants amount to $512,000 which one will not be granted?

Real problem is Congress borrows money from Social Security TrustTo the editor,

It is disturbing that some mem-bers of Congress are attempting to tie Social Security to the current national defi cit; when, in fact, it has nothing to do with the defi cit. Social Security is solvent for the next 25 years; and as employment improves the up-tick in the payroll tax will erase any future funding gap.

The real problem is that Congress continues to borrow money from the Trust Fund and spends it on frivolous projects, which does not enhance the

fund. Such borrowing would fi nan-cially benefi t the Trust Fund if it were spent on developing a skilled work-force, investing in job development and education. Better jobs through such investments would fi nancially benefi t the fund, as employment increases, payroll taxes to the fund would also increase.

The Social Security system remains a core value of American Society both for current and future generations.

Thanks to all at LRGH for the special care given Annie RichardsonTo the editor,

Annie Richardson’s family wished to let everyone in the Lakes Region know how lucky we are to have the Lakes Region General Hospital and all of its outstanding staff. The pro-fessional care she received over an extended period of time could not be matched by any other hospital.

Special thanks to Dr. Robert Fried-lander and his staff in the Oncology Department, Dr. Glenn Fusonie and his staff in the Vascular Department

and the individual attention given by the Intensive Care Unit.

We think the word “magnifi cent” would best describe the loving and professional care she received. We will not soon forget all of the personnel at LRGH.

LACONIA — City Police Chief Christopher Adams said there were two more burglaries reported to his department Sunday afternoon.

The first, on 67 Water St. was a report of someone getting into an office building and rifling through a number of individual offices.

It is not known if anything was taken.

Adams said the second was a home on Brigham Street — a small dead end off Morrill Street.

It is unknown if the home is occu-pied, if the burglary occurred while someone was in the home or if it hap-pened another time and was reported to police Sunday.

This brings to 16 the number of unsolved burglaries in the city in the past couple of weeks. Police do not know if they are related.

In most instances, victims are reporting someone entering the home in the nighttime and typically steal-ing only cash. Lt. Matt Canfield said in one instance a burglar stole some gold jewelry.

In many cases, the burglar has

entered home while people were in them. One woman on Emerald Drive said she woke to find someone crouched down at the foot of her bed.

She said the intruder, who she described as tall, skinny and dressed completely in black, ran away when she began screaming. City police responded along with Gilford’s K-9 but were unable to track the intruder.

Another victim said her husband’s wallet was taken from his pants, which were in the bedroom where the two were sleeping.

The burglaries have set the city on edge and Adams said police are fol-lowing a number of leads.

He said police are encouraging people to report any suspicious activ-ity and noted yesterday that city resi-dents are being more vigilant.

He is also recommending city resi-dents lock their cars and windows and leave the inside and outside of their yard lit if possible.

after the collapse to see if anyone required assistance. She said it was a “miracle” that nobody died.

“It was like a scene out of ‘Armaged-don.’ Right before the collapse, it was sunny and lovely, and then moments

later, dark clouds appeared, and the atmosphere changed. A gust of wind blew confetti from the ground up, the drapes blew inwards, the stage col-lapsed, and someone yelled, ‘Get off,’” Cogan said.

LACONIA — Like the United States Congress and the New Hamp-shire Legislature, the City Council must redistrict by redrawing the boundaries of the six wards to ensure “one man, one vote” in light of changes in the distribution of the city’s popu-lation as tallied by the 2010 Census. However, while Congress and the Legislature have months to complete the task, the council has less than three weeks and has yet to receive the needed data from the Census Bureau.

City Manager Scott Myers last night

Lacking census data, city behind the 8-ball on ward redistricting processtold the council he expects to receive the census data from the Lakes Region Planning Commission this week and will make an initial presentation to the Government Operations Subcom-mittee of the council early next week.

Redistricting requires an amend-ment to the City Charter, which describes the boundaries of each of the wards much like a deed describes the metes and bounds of real property. The amendment must appear on the ballot of the next regular municipal election , which will to held on Novem-ber 8. To meet this deadline, the pro-cess must begin no later than August

8 with a vote of the council approving the proposed amendment and order-ing a public hearing.

Within 10 days the proposed redis-tricting plan must be forwarded to the New Hampshire Secretary of State, Attorney General and Commissioner of Revenue Administration for review. If any one of the three disapprove, the amendment cannot be put on the ballot.

A timeline, prepared by city attor-ney Jae Whitelaw, foresees holding a public hearing on the redistrict-ing plan on August 22, a week after the text of the plan, accompanied by a brief explanation, appears in local newspapers. If after the public hear-ing the plan undergoes substantial changes, they must be submitted to state offi cials for their approval. Oth-erwise, within a week of the public hearing, the fi nal draft of the plan

must be fi led with the city clerk, who arranges for the printing of the ballot.

Meanwhile, City Clerk Mary Reyn-olds said that the fi ling period for candidates for City Council will open on Monday, August 8 and close on Wednesday, August 17. The top two vote getters in each ward in the pri-mary election on Tuesday, September 20, will square off in the general elec-tion on November.

This is the last municipal election held under the old electoral calen-dar and old ward boundaries. The ward boundaries will change once the redistricting process is complete and the charter has been amended to open the fi ling period on the fi rst Wednes-day in June and close it the following Friday as well as to move the primary election to the second Tuesday in Sep-tember.

She said she was shocked when the only injured person she could fi nd was the truck driver behind the stage.

“It’s a miracle, even the way the stage fell back and not forward onto the people at the show. There were fans sitting on the stage right behind the rigging. I have no idea how everyone made it out alive,” said the 47-year-old veteran Bluesfest attendee, who watched the show with her son and his friends.

Cheap Trick manager Dave Frey, who was on stage seconds before the collapse, told Rolling Stone magazine that the driver’s leg was broken and the band lost all of its equipment.

Video posted on YouTube within min-utes of the storm’s passing showed a collapsed stage that had been propelled backward before crumpling and damag-

ing a tractor-trailer truck parked behind it. Twisted shards of metal jutted out from the stage, which stood several sto-ries tall before it was destroyed.

Concertgoer Kim Sachar Esselaar said the stage caved in almost imme-diately.

“The wind started funneling around us, whipping the sand and dust and I saw tons of birds fl ying away. Then the wind started rattling the main stage and in seconds we saw it col-lapse. Many people started scream-ing and were making their way to the exits,” she said.

Monahan said the stage was rented from a Montreal fi rm and was inspected regularly during the festival. He said the same stage had been used for the past fi ve years. The Ministry of Labour is surveying the site and will produce a report on the accident.see next page

A conviction on that charge could mean an additional sentence of up to fi ve years.

Court documents show that Brisk-man was escorted by taxi to a Lake-wood ATM and told to withdraw $800. When the transaction was unsuc-cessful, Briskman was driven back to Brooklyn, where he was staying. Soon after, he reported the incident and local police started investigating. The FBI became involved.

Attorneys for both defendants said they would plead not guilty if indicted on the federal charges.

“He has no history of any type of criminal behaviors or violent behav-iors. He’s the father of eight children,” said Ansell, David Wax’s attorney.

David and Judy Wax were led hand-cuffed into court Monday dressed in the same traditional attire as the dozen or

so supporters who fi lled the courtroom: crisp white shirts and black yarmulkes for the men and long, dark skirts for the women. As U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas Arpert started the proceed-ing, some of the Wax supporters could be seen directing their focus to small Hebrew prayer books.

Outside the courtroom, huddled supporters spoke in a mix of English and Hebrew, but declined to comment publicly. Judy Wax is a dual Ameri-can-Israeli citizen, but David Wax has only a U.S. passport. Both were forced to surrender all travel documents before being released.

Under Israeli law, religious offi -cials have full authority over personal status. That gives Israel’s rabbinate control over Jewish marriages and divorces. Without a proper rabbini-cal divorce, Jewish men and women cannot remarry.

Winsheblo Scholarship Fund established with foundation

the town enter into a five-year contract with FairPoint Communications for a centric system -— a virtual system whose costs are largely maintained through monthly billing and one that has no “brains” or central processing unit in Gilford.

Selectmen approved a one-time installation cost of $11,454 and agreed to a monthly fee of $2,585. At the time, Dunn told selectmen that “FairPoint is the land line phone company and he has a comfort level with their viability.”

Dunn said there were four main consoles for the centrix system but the rest of the system could be operated remotely through existing telephones. For budget purposes, each department was allocated its share of the FairPoint centrix system as a line in its 2011 operations budget.

Once installed, Dunn said the FairPoint system never worked properly.

Dunn kept selectmen appraised of the situation by providing periodic updates at the regular meet-ings but on the Nov. 10, 2010 selectmen’s meeting he reported he had solicited three separate bids for a new phone system on his own and had gotten six more from Belknap County, whose administration had also solicited bids to replace its system.

In December, selectmen voted to allow Dunn to

enter in to a contract with Spaulding Hill Networks of Nashua to purchase 17 new telephones using 2010 money and to purchase a new NEC UX5000 telephone system for $32,565 with 2011 money.

The 2011 money was taken from each depart-ment’s line for communications, combined into one capital account and paid to Spaulding. Since then, there have been no phone-related issues reported to selectmen.

Dunn said the Spaulding Hill system used exist-ing phones plus the 17 new ones. He said the four FairPoint centrix consoles have been put in storage and are for sale.

Dunn said yesterday he had gotten a phone call on Friday from a FairPoint representative and is con-fident the two agencies will come to an agreement regarding the discrepancy in the phone billing.

Dunn said the issue is the town still uses Fair-point for some services — including the payphones at the town docks — and a small portion of the bill is legitimate.

“I just can’t understand the bills,” said Dunn.FairPoint’s New Hampshire-Maine Communica-

tions Director Jeff Nevins said last week that the company will be contacting Gilford to to rectify the problem. He said it is not policy to comment on indi-vidual accounts but said he would go to the billing group and learn “what is going on and why (the company) isn’t moving along with Gilford’s billing problem.”

Dunn said he has been assured that the bulk of the outstanding bill will be rebated and said he has no intentions of cutting FairPoint a check until the company makes a proper accounting of what the town legitimately owes.

PHONE BILL from page one

deep spending cuts through the House, and then see the measure quickly die either in the Democratic-controlled Senate or by veto.

Barring action by Congress to raise the $14.3 tril-lion debt limit, the Treasury will be unable to pay all the government’s bills that come due beginning on Aug. 3, two weeks from Wednesday. Administra-tion officials, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Ber-nanke and others say the result could be a default that inflicts serious harm on the economy, which is still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

In a gesture underscoring the significance of the issue, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced the Senate will meet each day until it is resolved, including on weekends.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Dustin Pedroia doubled in two runs to spark an eight-run eighth inning, and the Boston Red Sox got home runs from Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Josh Reddick in a 15-10 rout of the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.

Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis and Darnell McDonald had three RBIs apiece for the Red Sox, who have won 13 of 15. The run includes a 16-inning affair against Tampa Bay on Sunday night in which Boston mus-tered only fi ve hits.

Showing very little signs of fatigue, the Red Sox banged out 16 hits in rolling to their seventh straight victory over the Orioles. Boston has outscored Balti-more 61-32 during that span.

It was the fi rst meeting between the teams since the Red Sox recorded a heated four-game sweep at Fenway Park immediately before the All-Star break.

Boston designated hitter David Ortiz and Orioles closer Kevin Gregg began serving three-game suspen-sions for their part in a bench-clearing incident during that series. Both players were initially suspended for four games before appealing the punishment.

The Red Sox didn’t miss Ortiz. Boston fell one run short of matching its season high and had six play-ers with at least two hits, including Pedroia, whose 16-game hitting streak is one short of his career high.

After Boston loaded the bases in the eighth, Pedroia hit a tiebreaking two-run double off Mike Gonzalez (1-2) to make it 9-7. Youkilis added a two-run single, Carl Crawford singled in a run and McDonald capped the uprising with a three-run double.

Baltimore scored three runs in the bottom half. It was the fi rst time since Aug. 2, 2009, that the Ori-

Red Sox score 8 in 8th to pick up win in Baltimoreoles lost when reaching double fi gures in runs; that defeat was to Boston 18-10.

J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones homered for the Ori-oles, who have lost 10 of 12.

Dan Wheeler (2-1) got the win with 2 1-3 innings of no-hit relief for starter Tim Wakefi eld.

Wakefi eld gave up seven runs, three earned, and nine hits in 4 2-3 innings. He was undone by a particularly wicked knuckleball that produced a strikeout but resulted in a passed ball that fueled a fi ve-run fi fth inning that gave Baltimore a 7-6 lead.

Felix Pie opened the fi fth by striking out, but he reached when the pitch eluded Saltalamacchia and went to the screen. Hardy, who signed a new three-year contract earlier in the day, hit a two-run homer and Jones drove a knuckleball an estimated 434 feet into the left-fi eld stands.

The Orioles then used two singles and a walk to load the bases for Nolan Reimold, who chased Wake-fi eld with a two-run double.

Youkilis’ RBI single tied it at 7 in the seventh.After Derrek Lee hit a two-run triple for Baltimore

in the fi rst inning, Boston took the lead against Brad Bergesen with a three-run third.

Saltalamacchia led off with his seventh homer. After J.D. Drew hit a fl y that was caught on the warning track, the Red Sox got four straight singles, including RBI hits by Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez.

Boston made it 5-2 in the fourth, scoring two unearned runs after Lee let a grounder to fi rst base go through his legs. The miscue ended a run of six straight errorless games by Baltimore.

Reddick homered off the foul pole in the fi fth for a 6-2 lead.

The two-pronged approach pursued by the House GOP follows the collapse of a weeks-long effort to negotiate a sweeping bipartisan plan to cut into future defi cits. The endeavor foundered when Obama demanded that tax increases on the wealthy and selected corporations be included alongside cuts in benefi t programs, and Republicans refused.

The failure of that effort also refl ects the outsized infl uence exerted by 87 fi rst-term Republicans, many of them elected last fall with tea party backing.

As late as last Thursday, Republican leaders held a news conference to tout plans to vote this week on a proposed balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

But the same senior Republicans emerged from a closed-door meeting of the rank and fi le on Friday to say the House would instead vote on an alternative — dubbed by its advocates as “Cut, Cap and Bal-ance.” No date has been set for a vote on the consti-tutional amendment itself.

Offi cials said the change in course had been requested by members of the Republican Study Committee, whose members are among the most conservative in Congress.

Supporters of the measure say it would cut $111 bil-lion from government spending in the budget year that begins on Oct 1, and $6 trillion more over the coming decade through a requirement that the budget shrink

relative to the overall size of the economy.Additionally, it would require both houses of Con-

gress to approve a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution as a condition for an increase in the debt limit.

Both Boehner and Cantor reacted relatively mildly to the White House veto threat.

“As President Obama has not put forth a plan that can garner 218 votes in the House, I’d caution him against so hastily dismissing ‘Cut, Cap and Bal-ance,’” said Cantor.

Other Republicans, by contrast, took a harder line.“I fi nd it incredibly ironic that President Obama is

one of the few Americans who think we don’t need a constitutional amendment ‘to do our jobs.’” Said Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, a member of the leadership.

“The point of cutting up the credit cards in order to raise the debt ceiling isn’t to meet his tax-and-spend demands; it’s to force him to stop spending money we don’t have.”

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky made a strong statement of support for the measure.

“Not only is this legislation just the kind of thing Washington needs right now, it may be the only option we have if you want to see the debt limit raised at all,” he said.

“I strongly urge my Democratic friends to join us in supporting it.”

The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (as told by himself)

required a match of $25,000, but the Carsey Institute of the University of New Hampshire has agreed to con-tribute $4,000 and has approached the New Hampshire Charitable Foun-dation for another $5,000.

Bruce Mallory of the Carsey Insti-tute told the councilors that the Orton Family Foundation began the “Heart and Soul Project” to help “small cities and towns describe, apply and uphold their heart and soul so that they can adapt to change while maintaining or enhancing the things they value most.”

Saunders said that the grant would be used to facilitate a conversation within the community about the vision of rede-veloping the three villages within the city — downtown, Lakeport and Weirs Beach — originally presented by the team from the United States Environ-mental Protection Agency in 2007. “The purpose of the grant is not bricks and mortar,” she said.

Instead, Saunders suggested the aim would be reaffi rm the initial deci-sion as well as to identify means of funding and fulfi lling it. In particular, she suggested the process could fur-ther the effort to develop “village over-lay (zoning) districts,” together with appropriate architectural standards, within the zoning ordinance.

Saunders said that at the outset she suggested focusing the conversations on the future of the Weirs, but the terms of the grant specifi ed that the theme should apply throughout the entire community.

The process would be undertaken in partnership with “New Hamp-shire Listens,” a program fostered by the Carsey Institute and its satellite, Lakes Region Listens, sponsored by the Lakes Region United Way. Saun-ders said that apart from hiring a person to administer the grant, the funds would be applied to the process.

Mallory said that the funds would

be used to provide participants in the process with the information neces-sary to contribute effectively.

City Manager Scott Myers, who became familiar with the “Listens” process as mayor of Dover, said that it offers an effective way of reaching con-sensus on controversial issues through “a series of meetings and controlled dialogue.” He stressed that the success of the process requires “reaching out to people aren’t usually at the table.” He said Portsmouth used a similar process to redraw the catchment areas of its elementary schools, which had divided the community for years.

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) was skeptical. “So this grant is to run meet-ings?” he asked. “What is the ultimate goal? Where is this going to get us?”

Mallory replied that it was intended

to encourage “a higher level of citizen engagement and to overcome division into factions.”

“It’s a great idea,” said Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1), “but my only concern is that it will leave us with another document on the shelf.” She indicated that there was not a lot of enthusiasm for the project among business and property owners at the Weirs.

“What do we get when we cross the fi nish line?” Hamel asked again. Alluding to Doyle’s doubts about the the Weirs, he remarked “are we going to have bumper cars for 100 years?”

Mayor Mike Seymour conceded “there are some soft and fuzzy cor-ners on this thing,” but said that for a relatively small investment, the city would receive signifi cant resources to apply to its efforts at revitalization.

read Selectman Chair David Hussey from a prepared statement.

Hussey, who was joined by Select-men Peter Boster and R. Loring Carr at last night’s meeting, said Fuller was known for her dedication to Alton and and for her diligence in attend-ing meetings and other functions and events as befi t a Selectman.

Hussey made special mention of Fuller’s long-standing fi ght in Alton’s behalf against so-called “donor towns” and what many in Alton believe is the unfairness of the state-wide property

tax used to fund education.Hussey also recognized Fuller for

her work in the downtown revitaliza-tion and noted she was not only the fi rst selectmen’s representative to the committee but was also integral in creating the B & M Railroad Park.

Fuller was reelected in March to her fourth consecutive term as select-man. She also served on the Alton Zoning Board of Adjustments and as an ex-offi cio member of a number of committees, boards, commissions and departments in Alton.

ALTON from page one

Goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori was the fi rst to come through the terminal. The rest of the team, wearing their gold medals, followed as cameras fl ashed and fans shouted “Omedeto Gozaimasu”— congratulations.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan called the victory the “greatest gift” to the nation, especially to the residents of the northeast coast most devastated by the March 11 earthquake and tsu-nami. The twin disasters left nearly 23,000 people dead or missing and caused partial meltdowns at a nuclear power plant that added to the tragedy.

The “Nadeshiko” mountain fl ower is believed to be a symbol of femininity in traditional Japanese culture. But some fans said the players defi ed the traditional feminine role with their tough playing style.

The team, which had to come back twice from one-goal defi cits, demon-strated courage by playing “a diehard match even when they were on the back foot,” Kan said in the statement

carried by Kyodo news agency.Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa

said the victory will encourage those working to help Japan bounce back.

“I’m delighted. The team showed great perseverance and sent a good message toward recovery from the major disaster,” Kyodo quoted Kitazawa as telling reporters in Aomori.

Japan’s players used the disasters as motivation throughout the tourna-ment, watching pictures of the dev-astation from their homeland before some matches.

The team displayed a banner read-ing “To our Friends Around the World — Thank You for Your Support” before the fi nal.

Added Toru Komatsu, 22: “This is a chance to forget the nuclear disaster and everything else, to just to unite and celebrate.”

tric Power Co., owner of the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant.

Japan became the first Asian nation to win the Women’s World Cup, beating the U.S. 3-1 in a pen-alty shootout after a 2-2 draw.

Bars and restaurants that showed the game live in central Tokyo were packed for the kickoff at 3:45 a.m. local time Monday — a national holiday. At some venues, dozens of fans stood in the street and watched through the windows of crowded establish-ments.

After the victory, chanting fans spilled into Tokyo’s streets. In Shibuya, a neighborhood known for its youth pop culture, dozens of police kept a small group of boisterous fans from wandering out into traffic.

Special edition newspapers proclaiming the vic-tory were printed by the national papers and handed out to pedestrians Monday morning, while scenes from the game were replayed constantly on television.

“It has been so scary with the earthquake and everything,” said 22-year-old Miaki Tomiyama. “The team has given us happiness.”

order because the main trial in the case is scheduled for mid-September, only eight weeks away.

“The motion is denied, because Entergy has failed to show that any irreparable harm it may incur between now and a decision on the merits” of its lawsuit, Murtha wrote.

During two days of hearings in late June, Entergy lawyers and witnesses told Murtha that they needed a decision on the preliminary injunction by July 23 so the company could order the specially fabricated nuclear fuel it needs to load into the reactor core during a refueling outage set for October.

Entergy lawyer Kathleen Sullivan told the judge the plant would be likely to close, rather than spend $60 million on fuel while facing an uncertain future.

After Murtha’s decision on Monday, the company would say only that it was disappointed and would be considering its options in the coming days.

Said Attorney General William Sorrell, whose office represented the state: “It’s just round one. But it’s much better to have won a round than to have lost it.”

To win a preliminary injunction, the party request-ing it has to show it will suffer irreparable harm without it, and that it is likely to win the case on the merits when it gets to trial.

Sorrell and other lawyers watching the case noted that Murtha denied the injunction based on irrepa-rable harm and pointedly did not say how likely the company was to win the underlying case.

In his ruling, Murtha said, “Because the Court finds a preliminary injunction is not warranted between now and a decision on the merits in the fall,

it need not, and expressly declines to, issue a hold-ing regarding Entergy’s likelihood of success on the merits.”

Both Gov. Peter Shumlin and Sen. Bernie Sanders issued statements praising the decision and faulting Entergy for challenging the state’s authority over the plant — something it said it would not do when it bought the reactor in 2002.

“Entergy’s lawsuit is an attack on state author-ity, attempting to deny us a voice regarding whether Vermont Yankee will run past March 2012 — even though Entergy has known since 2002 that it could not operate the plant past that date without state approval,” said Shumlin, who is listed as the lead defendant in Entergy’s lawsuit. “I believe strongly in the state’s authority, and I believe that Entergy has not been an honest, fair and responsible player for Vermont.”

Sanders argued it’s a matter of state’s rights. “If Vermont chooses an energy future that does not include a 40-year-old, problem-ridden nuclear power plant and that emphasizes energy efficiency and sustainable energy, that is certainly our right.”

Vermont Yankee, a 605-megawatt reactor in Vernon in the state’s southeast corner, faces the expiration of its initial 40-year federal license on March 21.

A year to the day before that date, the NRC granted the company’s request for a 20-year license extension. Vermont state law, however, requires that any electrical generator in the state get a state cer-tificate of public good. Vermont Yankee’s existing state certificate also expires in March.

Benjamin Loeb, the music director of the New Hampshire Music Festival’s 2011 season, will perform with his sister and pop star Lisa on July 23. Shown here are music festival musicians Leslie Amper, Elijandro Garcia-Montoya, Eric Anderson, Loeb, David Saunders and Sandra Flesher-Sheldon. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

PLYMOUTH — Watching from afar in 2009 and 2010 as the New Hampshire Music Festival under-went a civil war over artistic philosophy, as musi-cians and a group of stalwart patrons successfully ousted the festival leadership, Benjamin Loeb said the drama played out like a “soap opera,” one whose tensions seemed to be capable of rendering the fes-tival nonexistent.

Yet, the festival continues. Loeb, music director for the 2011 season, said the struggles of recent years “was indicative of problems that organizations have – the challenge of keeping everyone on the same page... The reason it sustained was because the com-munity stood up and said we want this to exist.”

The 2011 season of classical music began on July 5 and will conclude with a grand finale on August 12. Loeb said audiences have so far been large and enthusiastic. “There’s a really good feeling this

N.H. Music Festival director to perform with his pop star sister on Saturday night

summer,” he said.The recent strife was sparked on July 7 by an

announcement from the festival’s then-president/CEO David Graham and director Henry Fogel that musicians who wished to return would have to audi-tion for their current seats, including the submis-sion of recorded audition pieces and written essays. Musicians rebelled, as did some of the festival’s most loyal patrons, which lead to a transition period for the festival. Loeb said knowledge of the troubled period only helped his desire to accept the position of music director, a job which he hopes to continue for subsequent seasons.

Emerging from such an ordeal, he said, helped to distill the festival’s essential purpose. “The core value of it is it brings people together. Here was a community that clearly showed that it wanted to be brought together.”

Loeb could sympathize with the festival’s transi-

tory period and resulting clarity, having emerged himself from such a time in his professional career.

Loeb received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University in 1989 and a master in accompanying from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia in 1992. He received his Doctor of Musi-cal Arts at The Julliard School in 1998 and in 2002 a graduate degree in con-ducting from the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Md. In 2002, he founded a conducting workshop and festival and in 2005, the fifth-generation Texan founded

Lisa Loeb

the El Paso Symphony Youth Orchestra, which he directed for four years.

In 2009, he had reached a point in his career where he foresaw that continuing to serve as direc-tor of the El Paso Symphony Youth Orchestra would likely mean that he would retire as such, when he had broader hopes for his career. So, he resigned from his post to find what else the world of clas-sical music had in store for him. “I took a leap of faith,” he said, a leap which resulted in 14 months of unemployment. Despite a network that included hundreds of e-mail addresses, he was unable to find work in any of his talents, which included perform-ing, conducting, arranging and organizing.

“For the first time since I was eight years old, I had no concerts scheduled.” For someone like Loeb, the idle period brought about an existential crisis, one in which he took the opportunity to reflect on what it was that people like him provided for others, what function classical music performed. Then, he said, “I got lucky,” and two positions were offered to him: that of the executive director of the Greater Bridgeport Symphony in Conn. and the New Hamp-shire Music Festival music director.

He was able to approach those jobs with a renewed understanding of his role there. Much of success in a musical career has to do with luck, he said, “but I think you’ve got to have a good solid understanding of what the core values of music are. It’s not enough to just put down the keys, move your arms, you have to know why.”

“Those composers that wrote the music are saying something about the ... human experience,” Loeb said. The music speaks about the totality of expe-riences: joy and happiness, despair and confusion, longing and remorse. “When you get 600 people in the same room listening to this deep message about the human experience... they see the potential for community. The world becomes a better place, the

community becomes a better place, we become better people.”

“And that’s what attracts me to New Hampshire,” he added. “This is an orga-nization of the community and for the community.” Referring to the festival, he said, “The core value of it is it brings people together. Here was a community that clearly showed that it wanted to be brought together. It demonstrates the value of music festival.”

Stay (I Missed You)In addition to his clarity of purpose,

Loeb brings with him to New Hamp-shire a famous sibling. His younger sister Lisa became a pop music star in 1994 when her single “Stay (I Missed You)” went platinum and was included in the soundtrack to the film “Reality Bites.” Lisa went on to record several albums, one of which was nominated for a Grammy award, starred on two television series and has lately focused on writing and recording children’s music.

On the evening of July 23, as part of the festival’s “Pops” series, Lisa will join her older brother for a performance in at the Silver Center for the Arts.

Lisa said the evening’s program will represent “a trip down our personal music memory lane.” The Loeb family, which included a total of four children, all of whom are currently employed in music, was a musical family when Ben and Lisa were growing up in Texas. They recalled how their parents valued the arts and encouraged their children to pursue their talents. The July 23 concert will represent all the differing kinds of music played at their home, and will include classical pieces as well as Lisa’s songs arranged for a symphony.

The brother-and-sister duo have presented simi-lar programs several times before. Lisa said, “We think it’s really cool to bring classical music listen-ers to my music and my listeners to classical music.”

For Lisa, performing in front of an orchestra lends a “cinematic” atmosphere to her songs. “It creates a larger landscape that the music fits inside of.” The experience is distinct from performing with her usual band, wherein she said each musician responds to and plays off of the others. With an orchestra, playing from a score, Lisa said she feels as if she’s accompanying a force of nature. “It really gives an added depth to the music. It’s beautiful, it’s amazing to feel the orchestra behind you, it feels like the ocean.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Not even a string of better earnings reports could stave off worries about debt on Monday.

Europe’s banking troubles and an impasse over lifting the U.S. government’s borrowing limit helped drag down stock markets in the U.S. and Europe. Gold rose above $1,600 an ounce as investors sought safe places to park money.

The S&P 500 index dropped 10.70 points, or 0.8 percent, to close at 1,305.44.

The Dow Jones industrial average and Nasdaq com-posite index gave up their gains for the month. The Dow fell 94.57 points, 0.8 percent, to 12,385.16. The Nasdaq fell 24.69 points, or 0.9 percent, to 2,765.11.

The results of stress tests on European banks released last week came under deeper scrutiny. Eight banks failed the test aimed at measuring how well they would hold up under additional financial strain.

But the tests didn’t take into account how banks

Debt worries drag down stock marketwould fare if Greece or Italy defaults, says Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. Greece and Italy are among the countries most at risk of defaulting on their debts.

Italy not only has Europe’s third largest economy but also the world’s third-largest bond market at 1.8 trillion euro ($2.5 trillion). “So far European offi-cials have failed to stabilize a country as small as Greece,” Greenhaus said. “So we have little reason to have faith they’ll fix a country as big as Italy.”

In the U.S., the debt limit debate remains at a standstill in Washington. The Treasury Department says the limit must be raised by Aug. 2 or the gov-ernment risks defaulting on its debt.

But a deal needs to be reached soon, possibly as early as Friday, to have legislation ready for Presi-dent Barack Obama to sign by the deadline. Rating agencies warned last week that the impasse puts the country’s triple-A credit rating grade at risk.

‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ at Middle Arts and Entertainment Center

Jake Schaffner stars as Joseph in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” to be presented at the Middle Arts and Entertainment Center at 7:30 p.m. on July 22, 23, 29, and 30 with an additional matinee performance at 3 p.m. on July 30. The colorful musical is directed by Jennifer Simpson and features many talented adults and children from the Lakes Region. (Courtesy photo)

FRANKLIN — Franklin Footlight Theatre will present “Joseph and the Amaz-ing Technicolor Dream-coat” at the Middle Arts and Entertainment Center at 7:30 p.m. on July 22, 23, 29, and 30 with an additional mat-inee performance at 3 p.m. on July 30.

“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” tells the familiar Bible story of Jacob and his 12 sons. Because of their jeal-ousy, 11 of the sons plot to get rid of Joseph — Jacob’s favorite. They sell him to traveling nomads who take him to Egypt where he becomes a slave of Poti-phar, a wealthy Egyp-tian. After being falsely accused of lusting after Potiphar’s wife and thrown in jail, Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams gets him out of trouble and into the employ of the Pharoah. Because of the Pharoah’s dreams, Joseph knows that there are seven years of prosperity coming, followed by seven years of famine. Becom-ing the Pharoah’s number one advisor, Joseph saves Egypt and reunites happily with his father and his brothers.

Told entirely in song and dance, the colorful tale

spans musical styles from calypso to rock to disco to country. The worldwide phenomenon penned by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice has been an audience favorite for more than 35 years.

He was also a music lover, an avid frisbee player, and an accomplished rower at U.N.H. His genuine interest in people, his natural curiosity, and his quick wit made him a magnetic personality.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Make contact. You have terrifi c social instincts. You’re likely to pull a quality new friend into your world just because you were the one who said “hi” when no one else did. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Osho, a great spiritual teacher of the 20th century, said that all artistic activity is on the way toward becoming religious. Today your creativity will lead you to a sacred place in your own soul. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may have trouble relating to someone until you broaden your base of acceptable commonalities. You are of the same species on the same planet, and there is enough to agree on right there. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being loved by another person is not nearly as fulfi lling as loving another person. You will be happily occupied in the activities that demonstrate your deep affection. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know that by engaging a passionate person who is already in a certain kind of mood, you are asking for trouble. However, as an excitement-seeking risk-taker, you may fi nd it irresistible anyway. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sure, there are aspects of your history that you tend to glamorize. And yet, it is your fi rm opinion that the future will hold ever-more amazing treasures. Share your vision with fellow optimists. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You deserve to deal strictly with people of integrity. Therefore, the ones who tell you to buy what you don’t need have to go. Also, there’s no time to entertain those who wouldn’t do the same for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one who said “truth does not blush”

was not paying close enough attention. The truth can be very uncomfortable to hear today, and it will provoke a visceral response. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People are talking about you and saying just what you wanted them to say. But this should come as no surprise to you. You’ve been working pretty diligently to form a certain public image, and now your work is paying off. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Once a stressful situation passes or a problem is resolved, you will feel better than new. Indeed, you will (SET ITAL) be (END ITAL) better than new, having grown in strength and confi dence from the experience. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you physically can or cannot do might affect your plan and your think-ing. But don’t let it affect your opinion of yourself. Placing emphasis on your inner strength will empower you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Avoid twisting yourself up into a knot to prove how fl exible and willing to please you are. Instead, walk tall. It’s better to err on the side of rigidity now.

Belmont Mill honored with Preservation Award by Victorian Society in AmericaBELMONT — The Belmont Mill was recently

honored with a Preservation Award by the New England Chapter of the Victorian Society in Amer-ica, only the fourth New Hampshire endeavor recog-

nized by the national and international non-profi t organization.

Belmont Heritage Commission chairman Wallace Rhodes, leader of the 1990s “Save the Belmont Mill”

group, and Linda Frawley, Commission vice chair-man and village revitalization advocate, accepted the award for the community. Both cited the PlanNH organization, State Architectural historian James Garvin, the New Hampshire Planning staff, Division of Historical Resources, Atty. Carolyn Bald-win, the Belknap County Economic Development Council, and architect Christopher Williams among many others who protected the Mill for future gen-erations.

The village landmark was recently cited by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance as one of the state’s 25 Milestone Preservation Projects over the last quarter century. That recognition was based in part on the high degree of challenges overcome — including shifting economic times after 135 years of manufacturing ceased in 1970, a colossal August 1992 fi re, and a 1995 Town demolition order — and its role as a catalyst and inspiration for other pres-ervation initiatives.

Since 1973, the Boston-based Victorian Society has recognized some 100 individuals and projects, including architect Graham Gund, the Boston Swan Boats and Oak Bluffs Carousel on Martha’s Vineyard. Prior recipients from New Hampshire include a 1976 Currier Gallery of Art exhibit, Saint Gaudens National Historic site, the Rye Driftwood

Garden Club for care and upkeep of Celia Thaxter’s Appledore Island garden, and res-torations at Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I have never met my biological father. My par-ents have never lied to me about him. They told me the truth about where I came from and have always added that they love me. I received presents from this man from the time I was 6 until I was 13, and then I didn’t hear from him anymore. On my 17th birthday, I got a random e-mail from him. We cor-responded briefl y before he started to chew out my mother and blame HER for everything. But I know the truth. He had visitation rights until I was 5 years old, but he didn’t want to pay child support, so he signed over his parental rights to my adoptive father. I told my mother about the e-mails, and then I deleted them. I am now 19 and don’t know whether to be hurt or angry. I don’t know if I want this man to be a part of my life, but I defi nitely do not want him bashing my mother. He’s never paid a dime to help support me. However, I learned I have a half-brother, and I would like to meet him. Should I try to reach out to my bio father, even if it’s only to fi nd out more about this brother? I want to talk to my parents about this, but every time I bring up the subject, they both become visibly upset. They have told me in the past that it is ultimately my choice, but in private, my mom has said she’d rather I didn’t. She is es-tranged from her own father and was quite hurt when she tried reaching out to him. I don’t know what to do. -- Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: It is caring of you to take your parents’ feelings into consideration, but you are an adult now, and contacting your biological father is entirely your choice. It sounds as if you have some unfi nished business, so we suggest trying to contact him again. But prepare for the possibility that you will be disappointed, and set boundaries. Tell him you’d like a chance to know him (and your half-brother), but you will

not tolerate any verbal trashing of your mother. Dear Annie: I am upset about something my husband did the other day. We were saying goodbye to a friend, and she mentioned something about dessert being served at a party she would be attending. My husband replied, “If they were serving you as dessert, I would eat that anytime.” He did not know I heard him, and it made me very uncomfortable. Should I tell him I overheard his remark and that it was inappropriate? What should I say if he does it again? -- Per-turbed in Ontario Dear Ontario: These things are best dealt with immediately. Some women can make a joke out of such lascivious remarks, rolling their eyes while giving the impression that the guy has the manners of a Neanderthal. If you cannot manage that, however, it’s perfectly fi ne to tell him his words were inap-propriate and hurtful. The point is that he doesn’t get away with it. Dear Annie: The letter from “Wedding Gift Nightmare” sent me into orbit. So her brother-in-law decided a three-piece china serving set from an antique shop wasn’t suitable? Does this man know what those pieces cost? I married in 1957. A few days after we returned from our honeymoon, my mother-in-law brought over a poorly wrapped gift from an elderly neighbor. When I opened it, my mother-in-law’s faced dropped. It was a large Pyrex bowl that must have been used in this woman’s kitchen for years. I thanked her and then washed it in hot soapy water and felt blessed that this darling neighbor was kind enough to give us a present. That was 57 years ago, and I still have that bowl. It was the most useful gift I received. I plan to give it to my daughter after I die. Shame on that father for being so materialistic and not hav-ing a clue as to the real meaning of the gift. -- Stunned
