Governor touts advanced manufacturing jobs during Laconia visit By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Governor Maggie Hassan touted the virtues of advanced manufacturing yesterday as she visited New Hampshire Ball Bearings’ Astro Division as part of her “Innovate NH” tour, which features stops at cutting edge businesses
across the Granite State. ‘’When I tell high school students what starting salaries are in high tech manufacturing they’re amazed,’’ said Hassan, who said that focusing on helping people develop skills for jobs in an innovative economy is her major priority as governor. Manufacturing accounts for
$18.5-billion in gross state product, making it the single largest sector of New Hampshire’s economy (19-percent), according to a study released in 2011 by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies. That study also showed that manufacturers employ 77,000 people in the state and pay out
$6.4 billion in wages and benefits each year. But an aging workforce and the lack of skilled workers to take their place has produced a labor shortage in the state, which mirrors national tends according to Gary Groleau, manager of Labor Relations see HaSSaN page 8

MEREDITH — The three candidates for the two seats on the Board of Selectmen — Nate Torr, Lou Kahn and Jayne Greemore — along with two incumbent trustees of the library — Pamela Coburn and Mary Richardson — who are seeking reelection unopposed, fielded questions from voters before more than two dozen voters at the Community Center last night. Torr, who joined the Selectboard soon after retiring after a 40-year career as a high school biology teacher, said that he is seeking a second term because “the town of Meredith has been good to me and this is an opportunity to give back.” He confessed to sometimes “being a little crazy as my wife can attest,” but added that he was pleased with the work of the board during his tenure. “I’d like to be a native,” said Kahn, “but my New York accent gives me away.” Calling Meredith “my hometown,” he said that his relationship with the community see MErEdiTH page 12

Movie-like car chase & shoot out horrifies Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Bullets were flying from a black Range Rover at a gray Maserati as the vehicles raced toward a red light on the Las Vegas Strip. Beneath the neon lights, police say, the Maserati ran the red light at one of the Strip’s busiest intersections and smashed into a taxi that exploded into flames early Thursday, killing the two people inside. Three more cars and a utility truck collided at the crossroads home to Bellagio, Caesars Palace and Bally’s, leaving at least six more people injured as the Range Rover sped off in the predawn darkness. The Maserati driver was pronounced dead at a hospital. The dramatic scene that more than one tourist compared to something out of a violent action movie set off a frantic search for the occupants of the Range Rover and marked the latest violent episode on the Strip since the beginning of the year. see VEGAS page 14

U.S. health officials say flu shots ineffective with older people ATLANTA (AP) — It turns out this year’s flu shot is doing a startlingly dismal job of protecting older people, the most vulnerable age group. The vaccine is proving only 9 percent effective in those 65 and older against the harsh strain of the flu that is predominant this season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. Health officials are baffled as to why this is so. But the findings help explain why so many older people have been hospitalized
with the flu this year. Despite the findings, the CDC stood by its recommendation that everyone over 6 months get flu shots, the elderly included, because some protection is better than none, and because those who are vaccinated and still get sick may suffer less severe symptoms. “Year in and year out, the vaccine is the best protection we have,” said CDC flu expert Dr. Joseph Bresee. Overall, across the age groups studied,
the vaccine’s effectiveness was found to be a moderate 56 percent, which means those who got a shot have a 56 percent lower chance of winding up at the doctor with the flu. That is somewhat worse than what has been seen in other years. For those 65 and older, the vaccine was only 27 percent effective against the three strains it is designed to protect against, the worst level in about a decade. It did a particularly poor job against the tough see FLU page 11
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A car bomb exploded Thursday near Syria’s ruling party headquarters in Damascus, killing at least 53 people and scattering mangled bodies among the blazing wreckage in one of the bloodiest days in the capital since the uprising began almost two years ago. Elsewhere in the city, two other bombs struck intelligence offices, killing 22, and mortar rounds hit the army’s central command, activists said. Recent rebel advances in the Damas-
cus suburbs, combined with the bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks, mark the most sustained challenge of the civil war for control of the seat of President Bashar Assad’s power. Syrian state media said the car bombing near the Baath Party headquarters and the Russian Embassy was a suicide attack that killed 53 civilians and wounded more than 200, with children among the casualties. Anti-regime activists put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadli-
est Damascus bombing of the revolt. The violence has shattered the sense of normalcy that the Syrian regime has desperately tried to maintain in Damascus, a city that has largely been insulated from the bloodshed and destruction that has left other urban centers in ruins. The rebels launched an offensive on Damascus in July following a stunning bombing on a high-level government crisis meeting that killed four top regime offisee SYRIA page 7
WASHINGTON (AP) — Barring any new, damaging information, Chuck Hagel has secured the necessary votes for the Senate to confirm him to be the nation’s next defense secretary. A vote ending the bitter fight over President Barack Obama’s choice for his revamped second-term, national security

Do more than the minimum on our minimum wage “In the wealthiest nation on earth,” President Obama declared in his State of the Union speech, “no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty.” Right! Way to go! Not only does his call to raise America’s minimum wage put some real pop in populism, but it could finally start putting some ethics back in our country’s much-celebrated (but rarely honored) “work ethic.” Kudos to Obama for putting good economics and good morals together — and for putting this long overdue increase on the front burner. But then came the number: $9 an hour. Excuse me, Mr. President, but if you’re going to bother making the fight, why start out with a number so low that many minimum-wage employees would still “have to live in poverty”? About 60 percent of America’s lowest-paid workers are women, including single moms struggling awfully hard to make ends meet. Yet, at your $9 an hour level, a single woman with two children, would, in fact, be paid a poverty wage. And, since you would slowly phase-in the increase, she wouldn’t even be paid that until nearly two years from now. Yes, nine bucks is a buck-seventyfive better than the current low wage of high misery, but it doesn’t even elevate the buying power of our nation’s wage floor back to where it was in 1968. Nor, by the way, does it match the $9.50-level you pledged to push in 2008 when you were running for president. This is not merely about extending a badly needed helping hand to people struggling to work their way out of poverty, but it’s also about enabling them to give a bottom-up jolt of new energy to our economy, which it desperately needs. Ironically, while super-rich corporations are hoarding trillions of dollars in offshore accounts, refusing to invest in our nation, minimumwage workers will invest every extra dollar they get in America — spending it right where they live on clothing, food, transportation, health care and other needs. A 2011 Federal Reserve study found that a $1 hike in the minimum wage produces an additional $2,800 a year in spending by each of those households — so this is no time to shortchange these workers. Yes, I know that congressional Republicans’ idea of governing is, first, to snap a sharp “No,” and only then ask what the proposal is. So, at the direction of corporate lobbyists, they were bleating a loud negative to any wage hike — and when Obama proposed $9, GOP House leader John Boehner jumped on it like a gator on a poodle. Incredibly, he claimed that raising the wages of our country’s most poorly paid workers would
hurt — guess who? — America’s most poorly paid workers! This disingenuous pitting of poor people against themselves is derived from a corporate manufactured political myth that hiking the minimum pay squeezes small-business owners to the breaking point, “forcing” them to fire employees or even go bankrupt. “When you raise the price of employment,” Boehner grumped, “guess what happens: You get less of it.” Well, guess again, John. That “job killer” fable has been debunked again and again by real world experience. Over decades, the pay floor has constantly been elevated by Congress, states and cities, and the great preponderance of studies show that it causes little to zero negative impacts on job numbers, but very positive results for employee morale, productivity and turnover. It also tends to generate a nice income boost for — guess who — small businesses, as wage earners spend their increase in pay in the local economy. Obviously, the major impact of the raise is to lift incomes of about 18 million hardworking people being paid at or near the minimum. This allows them to save enough to make a down payment on a used car or to enroll in a couple of community college classes. Plus, it gives at least a token nod to the essential need of bridging America’s dangerously widening chasm of economic inequality. The real shame in the Republican leader’s attack is not its flagrant dishonesty, but the raw disdain that it flings at low-wage workers. The hidebound “no’s” in our society — including Boehner, Mitt Romney, the Koch brothers and Wall Street billionaires — see working people in terms of their price tags, not in their value. This dehumanized contempt for the working class not only stains these corporate elitists, but it also holds back America’s phenomenal economic potential — and this contempt of America’s workaday majority is social dynamite. While those power elites say “no,” the American people overwhelmingly say “yes.” A poll last June found that seven out of 10 of us — including a majority of Republican women (but not men) — favor raising the minimum wage above $10 an hour. So, Mr. President, this is not a time for meek proposals. Think big, and take it to the people. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
LETTERS Some really believe government telling ‘big lie’ about Newtown To the editor, How is it possible to debate with people who refuse to acknowledge facts and instead continue the argument ad nauseam? Let me present some examples of the hogwash and buffoonery that I’ve come upon in the last few weeks: 1. The government (police — state and local — FBI, ATF, the county coroner’s office, etc.) have all conspired to cover up the Newtown shooting. You cannot believe anything they say nor any of the evidence they present. This “big lie” has been perpetrated in order to advance President Obama’s gun legislation (some quick calls were made that December morning to apprise the Connecticut officials of this plot). 2. President Obama (who is only the president of the people who voted for him) intends to ban all guns; to believe otherwise is naive and treasonous. 3. Doors will be kicked in, houses invaded (perhaps by my family and me), communities turned into battle zones, a civil war will erupt, the nation will fall — the end is near (so get some more guns and ammo). 4. I am an evil gun hater who sides with the anti-gun people because
I think something should be done regarding background checks, the preposterous proliferation of semiautomatic AR-15 rifles like the Bushmaster (which wasn’t used in the Newtown shooting!), armor-piercing bullets, high-capacity clips and so on. 5. The NRA is an infallible and benevolent organization that isn’t connected with and supported by gun manufacturers. 6. Nothing should change. The government can’t restrict anything! It will not work. Nothing will work except the status quo. My initial letter in early February pointed out this flaw in the overall debate: consistent appeal to lower emotions, a complete lack of logos and ethos to go with all the pathos, and a reliance on redirection, distraction and rot. While discussing this nonsense with a friend in Arkansas, I was reminded of the George Bernard Shaw quote, “I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.” At some point, I hope the debate moves beyond the sty. John Rodgers Moultonborough
Too often adults don’t think young people see what’s going on To the editor, I opened my paper on Wednesday and finally got to my favorite section, the letters. I was so impressed with the letter I read from 11 year old Adam I had to write and tell him that I found it totally refreshing to find an 11 year old not afraid to voice his opinion and feelings on the subject of homelessness. What amazed me most was the compassion and caring in his words. I’ve read many letters written by adults who do not show any legitimate concern on the matter of these unfortunate individuals’ well being. Too often adults don’t think young people see what is going on, that they have no opinions, and that they not care and adults just say things like “they don’t understand”. But his letter shows that he is, in fact, thinking about this subject and it is clear it
is of importance to him. Homelessness is a very legitimate concern in any community. Although our local police and some very concerned individuals do try to help the homeless in our community it is not enough. People seem to forget that the best way to assimilate these people (some homeless due to nothing they have done) is by not ignoring them but by lending a helping hand and helping them to become productive members in our society again. I do agree with him on the fact that we need more shelters for these people. There are many buildings that are vacant that could be opened to them so they aren’t out in the cold and through fund raising it seems money could be found to do this. Nancy Parsons Laconia

LETTERS Governmental activities of county commissioners aren’t private To the editor, When there is a problem, the best idea is to go back and read the directions. In the United States, the “directions” for all government are in our Constitutions. The “directions” in the N.H. Constitution, Part I, Article 1’, say, “all government of right originates from the people,”. Any one who has spent time in government has seen examples where those in government have violated “all government of right originates from the people”. For example, in Part II, Article 6a, the Constitution says that gas taxes are to go to construction and maintenance of highways, or part II, Article 6b, lottery funds are to go to education, or Part I, Article 21, jurors are “to be fully compensated”; (but currently, jurors are paid at the rate of $2.50 an hour — with a possible penalty of being jailed if they object), etc. Therefore any claim the County Commissioners may be making about their governmental abilities, must be able to be found in the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, which, if you were to read it, you would find, while it mentions other county officers, the Constitution does not mention County Commissioners. Part I in the N.H. Constitution is followed by Part II. In Part II, Article 2 says; “The supreme legisla-
tive power within this state shall be vested in the Senate and House of Representatives”. The County Delegation of every county, Belknap County included, is composed of representatives. And in N.H. it is the representatives who, per the N.H. Constitution hold the “supreme legislative powers”. The County Commissioners are not mentioned in the N.H. Constitution. The County Commissioners have no powers of a legislative nature. Therefore the County Commissioners cannot lawfully reapportion money in the county budget in any manner that is different from that set by the County Delegation. Oh yes, essentially all purely governmental activities of those in office are to be public, nothing with a governmental content that the County Commissioners do, that applies only to themselves, is to be “confidential”. The governmental activities of the County Commissioners are not private. If they wish to keep a report of their hired attorneys “confidential” then they can do that only if they pay for such “confidential” services out of their own pocket and do not use such “confidential” information in any way that affects the County Delegation or of anything they might do in county government. Robert Kingsbury Laconia
New rule: the last one to write about Engine #4 is the loser To the editor, In my opinion, we have heard quite enough of these histrionics from both Selectman John O’Brien and Budget Committee member Kevin Leandro as to the Gilford Engine #4 issues. The pop music icon Stills once quipping that, “Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong”. The two gentleman have both spoken their piece on this beating of a dead horse issue. Some of us are ready to declare the last letter poster to be published as the loser to this tiresome debate. Selectman O’Brien, by it seems his own admission, admits that not initially recommending a new engine to the town at the 2012 Deliberative Session was probably a mistake. There were some at that meeting that categorized Engine #4 as “a piece of junk”.
Kevin has continued to insist spending the money so far expended on Engine #4 has saved taxpayer money. Maybe, maybe not, but that is now a moot point as the engine has had the money sunk into it as of now. So that may or may not prove over time to be of some worth? The second Town Meeting warrant was defeated so I think that even though I did not personally agree with that decision, the voters were probably correct in not establishing a precedent in allowing a second bite at the apple. It now only remains to be seen which party in this feud will be declared the LOSER by being the one to get in the last word in a local newspaper. Tim Sullivan Gilford
Bill Bolton has foresight to anticipate consequences of actions To the editor, I don’t usually endorse individual candidates but in the case of Bill Bolton running for Plymouth Selectman I’ll make an exception. I’m sure Bill’s impressive bio will be made public and will verify the legitimacy of his campaign. I have been acquainted with Bill for quite a number of years and if you read his “bio” carefully you will find the qualities that I think will make him an outstanding selectman. Hidden between the lines are his strong sense of community spirit and his commitment to helping people to develop and grow. Also pervasive is
his reception and genuine interest in the views and input of others. Bill understands what is happening in the lives of Plymouth residents and how it affects them. He will listen to your ideas and value them. In contrast to some of the decisions made in this town, Bill has the foresight to anticipate consequences of decisions. Make a positive difference for the Town of Plymouth. Vote Bill Bolton for our next selectman. Quality candidates don’t grow on trees. Let’s seize the moment. We’ll all be better for it.

LETTERS Belknap Convention has no rules of order and fatal flaws result To the editor, New Hampshire law is clear, every other year the outgoing chair schedules the first meeting of the incoming county delegation. All further meetings are scheduled by the new chairperson. Also, the Executive Committee at its first meeting votes for its chair, vice-chair and clerk. New Hampshire’s AG Memorandum on Right-to-Know law, describes the law and the judicial decisions that further define and explain the peoples’ right to know. “Subject to the provisions of RSA 91-A:3, all meetings, whether held in person, by means of telephone or electronic communication, or in any other manner, shall be open to the public. Except for town meetings, school district meetings, and elections, no vote while in open session may be taken by secret ballot.” (Page 56) On December 10, 2012, the first action by Belknap’s delegation was to vote to use secret paper ballots. They voted for 2 of 3 officers by paper ballot and, after a “public hearing”, using secret paper ballots again voted for four of the seven members of the Executive Committee. Belknap County’s Delegation consists of a 13 - 5 split, Republican to Democrat. The voted was 9 to 7. The public may not have the right to know the mindset of a representative but it does have the right to know how they voted. Clearly, some representative broke from party lines and the public has the right to observe and know who they are. Therefore, not only the official of the convention violated Right-to-Know, but the selection of the Executive Committee in its entirety was done in violation of Right-to-Know. Accordingly, an unelected, unorganized Executive Committee voted to approve and transfer funds regarding the 2012 budget, and granted the authority to borrow $10 million for the 2013 Fiscal Year. Those actions are void. Clearly, the public hearing regarding the 2013 budget is invalid. The public should take issue with the use of paper ballots because it erodes transparency in government. If the paper ballots are allowed to be
perpetuated, it will open the floodgates for every appointed or elected public body to organize, in open session, using secret paper ballots. In the matter before the Superior Court, the list of RSA 91-A violations are astronomical, commencing with December 10, 2012: 1. The delegation voted to conduct its organizational election by Secret Paper Ballots, citing no exception of law. 2. The delegation chose its chairperson by Secret Paper Ballots. 3. As the new presiding officer, the chairperson, once again invoked the Paper Ballot process for the selection of the vice-chair. The clerk was selected by casting one vote. 4. The next order of business should have been to select the four members of the convention, to complete the organizational meeting, to the seven member Executive Committee. However, no such action took place at this time. 5. Absent a motion to recess, the convention moved directly to an oral presentation by the Commission, followed by a public hearing on the proposed 2013 county budget. 6. The public hearing cannot be scheduled by the 2012 convention chair. The public hearing can only take place at further meetings, scheduled by the 2013 convention chair, which can only be accomplished after the organizational segment of the meeting has been completed. 7. In any event following the noncompliant “public hearing”, the convention voted the four additional members to the seven member Executive Committee. 8. The first meeting of the Executive Committee did take place on December, 21 2012. However, it failed to comply with the law by not conducting its organizational meeting to determine who the chair, vice-chair and clerk would be. The unorganized quorum made decisions which will be void in the event a do-over is ordered, as all seven members were elected in open session by secret paper ballots. 9. At the second convention meeting, on February 4, 2013, the presiding officer conducted a do-over of the election of its Executive Committee. Beco

That resulted in three new officers. 10. No sub-committee meetings were NOTICED, and no sub-committee reports are listed on the agenda of February 4. However, with all the confusion of the TAN (Tax Anticipation Note) borrowing, the December 10, 2012 minutes, with a correction to the DRAFT version approved, notes the chair announced the convention’s sub-committees minutes approvals would also be taking place. Keep in mind that only a sub-committee can amend or approve its minutes. No notice for any sub-committee meetings exist. The convention did not suspend its meeting for the purpose of convening the committee of the whole. The convention chair called on each of the members of the sub-committee to approve or amend its minutes, and by a show of hand approved or amended those minutes. The decision to approve the minutes of previous meetings by all eight sub-committees took place at these unnoticed meetings. Decisions were clearly made. Was the Right-toKnow RSA 91-A:2, II, violated again, again and AGAIN?. On February 4, 2013, the Executive Committee voted to approve the Treasurer’s request to borrow 10 million dollars. 1. The authority for the Treasurer to come before the Executive Committee, by the commissioners, had not been granted. Therefore, the approval to borrow the money is fatally flawed. Moreover, the Commission only noticed “The board may also be in attendance
at the (Executive Committee Meeting of the Delegation)”. Where, in the AG Memorandum of Law does it condone such notices as “may or may not” attend another bodies meeting or excuse a quorum’s attendance by invitation of another bodies meeting? The Right-to-Know law is clear; a meeting must be noticed 24 hours in advance. Clearly, intent to circumvent the Right-to-Know will not bode well with the court. In any event, the Commission did not achieve a quorum at 4:30 p.m.. However, after the Executive Committee’s action, a quorum of the commissioners did gather and, in an attempt to comply with borrowing requirements, the commissioners voted to authorize the Treasurer to approach the Executive Committee. However, the Executive Committee has not taken the required vote to allow the treasurer to borrow. (RSA 29:8) Belknap County Convention has no rules of order for conducting business, the result of which are the multiple violation of RSA 91-A and causation for the fatal flaws regarding RSA-24. The blatant vote to hold its selection of officers by secret paper ballot, then voting its chairperson using secret paper ballot in open session, deprived the public of knowing who voted for whom erodes any resemblance of transparency.

Taxpayers should be thankful for delegation’s vigil of restraint To the editor, As I read the pages of The Laconia Sun, I must admit, I find the recent animus from the County Commissioners toward the Republican delegation members troubling. All representatives to the Legislature, Republican and Democrats, have a duty to perform in the best interest of all the county taxpayers and not just those of the municipalities where they reside. Additionally, the commissioners’ recent admonishment in the press of the Republican members of the delegation, for structuring a public meeting in their pursuit to reduce the county debt, is counterproductive and
unprofessional. The failure of the commissioners to honestly distinguish between what is good public policy for both county services and its agencies and the county taxpayers is, in my opinion, blatantly deficient. Furthermore, the commissioners clearly “misapprehend” the delegated duty the Republican members owe, not only to the county agencies, but equally to those citizens who pay the bills. In summary: the facts show the commissioners “understand wrongly” the constitutional duty the Republican delegation members owe to the see next page
Young Belmont man charged with stealing cash & jewelry from Gilford woman’s strong box By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — A Belmont man was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail Wednesday for allegedly stealing some money from a woman’s home in which he was a guest. According to affidavits from Gilford Police, Dean M. LaPlante, 19, of 129 Lamprey Road took between $1,000 to $1,500 in cash from a strong box under the bed of a home on Lake Shore Road. Police said the victim and her three youngest children were on vacation and returned home on February 5. She said her eldest daughter stayed home and had three friends come over to watch television — one of whom was LaPlante. The day after she returned from vacation she went to look for her strong box and noticed it was missing. She said she also noticed her jewelry box was in disarray. She told police the next day that the lock box contained “several pieces of valuable jewelry that she had been collecting her whole life” as well as several important documents and $5,470 in cash. He daughter told police that she believed LaPlante had a “drug problem” and had stolen from her and her friends. The investigating office contacted local pawn shops the day of the report and one shop in Tilton told her that LaPlante was in there “all the time” and had been there within the past few days to sell some jewelry and some “scrap gold.” Tilton Police took custody of two pieces of jewelry, including a Tahitian pearl necklace that the victim described as “very rare and precious” and some gold earrings for which he received $68. Tilton Police took cusSYRIA from page 2 cials, including Assad’s brother-in-law and the defense minister. Following that attack, rebel groups that had established footholds in the suburbs pushed in, battling government forces for more than a week before being routed and swept out. Since then, government warplanes have pounded opposition strongholds on the outskirts, and rebels have managed only small incursions on the city’s southern and eastern sides. But the recent bombings and mortar attacks suggest that instead of trying a major assault, rebel fighters are resorting to guerrilla tactics to loosen Assad’s grip on the heavily fortified capital. The fighting in Damascus also follows a string of tactical victories in recent weeks for the rebels - capturing the nation’s largest hydroelectric from preceding page county. The citizens and taxpayers of the county should be thankful they have those elected members of the delegation with an ever-present vigil of restraint on unnecessary county expenditures. George Hurt Gilford
tody of two items of jewelry and the victim was able to positively identify the pearl necklace as hers. On February 12, LaPlante went to the police station voluntarily to be interviewed. The interview was taped and recorded. Affidavits said he signed a statement saying he stole the lock box and pried it open but there was $1,140 in it. He told police he no longer had any of the victim’s jewelry and that he had panicked and hid the lock box in a tree house. He said it still contained a passport and some other papers, and he could retrieve it and return it by 6 p.m. that day. He said he had also sold a number of pieces of jewelry from the box to a Laconia pawn shop and had gotten $425 for them. When he didn’t return to the police station by 6 p.m., the investigating officer tried to contact him the next day. Unsuccessful, she applied for and received a warrant for his arrest. He was charged with one count of theft by unauthorized taking and once count of breach of bail because he committed the alleged theft of the money occurred while he was on bail after being arrested by Belmont Police for one count of burglary in December. Judge Jim Carroll ordered he be held on $5,000 cash bail unless he could gain acceptance into a facility for drug treatment. Carroll also ordered the Belknap Department of Corrections to help get LaPlante into a such a program. Bredbury said yesterday the Gilford Police and the Belknap County Attorney are still investigating the theft. As of 4 p.m. yesterday, LaPlante was no longer at the Belknap County House of Corrections.
dam and overtaking airbases in the northeast - that have contributed to the sense that the opposition may be gaining some momentum. But Damascus is the ultimate prize in the civil war, and many view the battle for the ancient city as the most probable endgame of a conflict that according to U.N. estimates has killed nearly 70,000 people. To defend the capital, Assad is using his most reliable and loyal troops, activists say, including the Republican Guard and the feared 4th Division, commanded by his brother, Maher. Armed checkpoints have sprung up across the city as part of the regime’s efforts to keep the rebels at bay. Thursday’s car bomb hit a checkpoint on a bustling thoroughfare in the central Mazraa neighborhood between the Baath Party headquarters and the Russian Embassy. The force of the explosion shattered the balconies of apartment blocks along the tree-lined street and blew out the windows and doors of the party building. Video of the blast site on Syrian state TV showed firefighters dousing a flaming car with hoses, while lifeless and dismembered bodies were tossed onto the grass of a nearby park.

OPEN HOUSE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13th from 5-7 PM
Governor Maggie Hassan talks about advanced manufacturing during a Thursday visit to New Hampshire Ball Bearings’ Astro Division as part of her “Innovate NH” tour. With her are Scott Davis of the Huot Technical Center, left, and Richard Bardellini, vice president of Manufacturing for NHBB, and Gary Groleau, manager of Labor Relations and Organizational Development for NHBB. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)
HASSAN from page one and Organizational Development for NHBB. Groleau says that there are 400,000 skilled manufacturing job vacancies nationally, 1,200 of which are in New Hampshire, even though the state has lost 35,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000. ‘’We’re the fourth oldest state in the country with an average age of 40.4 years. Only Maine, Vermont and West Virginia are older,’’ says Groleau, who said that the state has lost 35,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000. That same age dynamic is in play at NHBB, a leading manufacturer of precision bearings and complex bearing assemblies for the aerospace, defense, medical, dental, and high-technology markets, according to Groleau. He says that the average age of workers at the plant is 49 for those in the office and 48 for those in production, with 37 workers in the 61-71 age bracket and 52 in the 55-60 age bracket, which means that a significant number will be retiring in the near future. ‘’We have 15 production worker vacancies right now and in some cases those jobs have nearly six figure salaries along with benefits,’’ says Groleau. He said that NHBB has partnered with higher education institutions, including Lakes Region Community College, to develop the workforce training programs needed to fill jobs at the company. Groleau, who is also a member of the N.H. Board of Education, says that there are some very positive developments at the local level, including what he said is the extraordinary effort underway in the $16.8 million complete overhaul of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center in Laconia, which is strengthening the pre-engineering and manufacturing programs there. He’s a member of an advisory committee working with Lakes Region Community College to develop an advanced manufacturing program which will help provide workers with
sophisticated equipment high tech industries use. Tom Goulette, academic affairs vice president at LRCC, says the college has received a three-year $979,000 grant to develop an advanced manufacturing program. The grant is part of nearly $20-million federal grant received by the state last year as part of a national $500-million program for community colleges. Hassan says that her budget proposal is designed to advance her “Innovate NH” jobs plan and aims to build a strong, highly skilled workforce that will attract innovative businesses and good jobs. She said her proposal substantially restores cuts made to New Hampshire’s public universities and community colleges in exchange for freezing in-state tuition for the next two years in order to make higher education more affordable and accessible. She also supports doubling the research and development tax credit from $1 million to $2 million a year in order to support innovation by both existing companies and new start-up firms. NHBB employs nearly 500 people at its Astro Division in Laconia and another 700 in Peterborough and has a $52 million payroll in the state, according to Rich Bardellini, NHBB’s vice president for manufacturing, who said that since NHBB was acquired by the international firm Minebea in 1985 the company, the world’s largest producer on miniature ball bearings, has invested $63 million in its Laconia plant. Bardellini said that the company enjoyed its best year ever in 2012 and continues to invest in Laconia, where its’ new product development center recently hired five research and development engineers, two of whom are PhD’s, and applied for three patents last year as a result of its research. He said that 97 percent of the Astro Division’s products are used by the defense and aerospace industries and that the company is deeply concerned over automatic federal budget cuts which will take place if the budget

Sachems push past Winnisquam, 38-36 BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Down 12-24 at half-time, the Laconia High School girls’ basketball team had a lot of ground to cover if they were to advance beyond the second round of the NHIAA tournament. Fortunately for the Sachems, speed makes it easier to make up distance, and speed is something the Sachems have in spades. Winnisquam, the tenth seed in Division III, came into the game with a significant height and experience advantage. The Bears roster featured just one freshman and one sophomore, while freshmen make up more than half of the seventh-seeded Sachems.

The Laconia High School bowling team competed Saturday at Spare time lane in Manchester. Laconia finished the regular season in ninth place among the 11 teams in the state. LHS was knocked out in a first-round match against Spaulding; Souhegan was the overall winner. Laconia started Saturday’s match on fire, with a strike from Cheyenne Noyes, spare by Aaron Smith and strike by Trevor Lange. Laconia went on to take the first two games from Spaulding. The match went back and forth and Laconia pushed it to game seven but came up a little short. Said coach Jack Batchelder, “The team was determined to do their best today. They had confidence needed to be winners.” Laconia’s Baker game averages for the season was 115. On Saturday the average for the 7 games was 126. Laconia’s other bowlers were Zina LaBrie, Samantha Batchelder and substitutes, Katie Doherty, Tony Roy and Lily Chanthasak. All players contributed in the seven game match and had at least one mark in the effort. Zina LaBrie and Samantha Batchelder will compete in individual state finals on Saturday. The individual championship competition is made up of the top 64 bowlers in the state and split into two divisions. Zina finished season in 50th place with a 138.56 average while Samantha was 59th with 134.06. The match starts at 11:30am in Manchester.

from preceding page five steals. Nute was the team’s second-highest scorer, with six points, three rebounds and two assists. Senior guard Sami Hicks shot just one for seven, but collected nine rebounds, six steals and two blocks. Coach Jeff Greeley praised his team for overcoming their pre-game jitters – for most of the team, it was their first playoff game, having earned a first-round bye – and noted that every player that suited up had a role in the victory. For example, Emond’s minutes were short but critical, he said. “She provided a lot of energy and spark. When we needed some strength, a shot in the arm, that was exactly what she provided.” Greeley attributed the first-half deficit to nerves. Instead of seeking the weaknesses of Winnisquam’s zone defense, he said, “we settled for a lot of outside shots.” And Laconia’s hands were cold from outside, connecting on just three out of 24 attempts from behind the three-point arc. “I think we were just really nervous,” he said. At half-time, he encouraged his team to keep up the pace, employing a full-court defense on nearly every possession. Soon, it was Winnisquam making the nervous mistakes, committing 27 team turnovers. Greeley expressed his appreciation for the vocal and supportive fans, whom he called the “sixth man” in the victory. With Winnisquam in the rearview, Laconia now turns its attention to second-seeded Bow, a team that last night beat 18th seeded Inter-Lakes by the score of 28-20. That quarter-final matchup will take place Saturday night in Bow. Like Winnisquam, Laconia’s next opponent will present an older and larger team than Laconia. Greeley’s looking forward to it, though. Although many of his players are young, he doesn’t consider them inexperienced. “All the kids have played with each other, they continue to fight for each other... It should be an exciting game.”

LPD from page one “it was ready to come down.” He said the grant writing process for began about three years ago and in 2011 and 2012 the department was able to secure $37,000 in JAG grant assistance that covered the entire renovation, except hiring an electrician. Simmons estimated the electrician cost the department a few hundred dollars. Simmons said the floor was installed with the help of the Parks and Recreation Department and is the same type of flooring in city hall. Clary said the money for the floor came from the Police Depart-

Simmons said the new set up is a great improvement over what the officers had before. This begins the 11th year the Police Department has been in its New Salem Street building. When the station opened in 2003, it was the first time the LPD had a space that was built for police work and not a renovated building somewhere in the downtown area.
FLU from page 2 strain that is causing more than three-quarters of the illnesses this year. It is well known that flu vaccine tends to protect younger people better than older ones. Elderly people have weaker immune systems that don’t respond as well to flu shots, and they are more vulnerable to the illness and its complications, including pneumonia. But health officials said they don’t know why this year’s vaccine did so poorly in that age group. One theory, as yet unproven, is that older people’s immune systems were accustomed to strains from the last two years and had more trouble switching gears to handle this year’s different, harsh strain. The preliminary data for senior citizens is less than definitive. It is based on fewer than 300 people scattered among five states.
But it will no doubt surprise many people that the effectiveness is that low, said Michael Osterholm, a University of Minnesota infectious-disease expert who has tried to draw attention to the need for a more effective flu vaccine. Among infectious diseases, flu is considered one of the nation’s leading killers. On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the CDC.

began 43 years ago. Since becoming a year-round resident in 1998 he has served on the Planning Board for nine years and as a trustee of trusts funds as well as granted the town conservation easements on 200 acres of land bordering the Eames and Hamlin town forests. Born and raised in Michigan, Greemore trained to become a teacher, but, like her husband Bob, a state representative, ultimately pursued a career in culinary arts, working as chef for a hospitality firm in Boston. Twenty years ago, the couple settled in Meredith, where together they run Bob’s Sharp-All, a sharpening business begun by Bob’s father. Torr is running on the record of the track record of the current Selectboard, which was endorsed by Kahn who said “things are going very well. I want to help out and keep things going.” He remarked that as chairman of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Committee he knew the condition of the town’s dump trucks, adding, “I don’t want to see a situation like that in a neighboring community where the fire trucks have broken down.” “Maybe with fresh eyes, a different way of looking at things,” remarked Greemore, signaling a measure of unease with the status quo, “I can contribute something to the town.” Asked about the condition of the library, Coburn, a denizen of the library since the age of two, spoke about the “deferred maintenance,” which would require between $300,000 and $400,000 to overcome, then turned to the need for additional space in the future. Describing the library as “a democratic institution, a great leveler,” she stressed its importance as a means of providing cultural resources and opportunities to those of modest means. Richardson, a mother of two who volunteers at the library, briefly echoed the remarks of her more experienced colleague. Torr explained that the the library is governed by the trustees and the role of selectmen is confined to appropriating funds for its operation. “There’s no question the library needs some spending,” said Kahn, who noted that the trustees have
yet to approach the CIP Committee. Greemore said she was not sure what municipal funding was available and suggested the trustees explore other sources, such as bake sales, while conceding they would not in themselves be sufficient. All three candidates for the Selectboard doubted much could be done in the near future to ease the congestion in the summer months at the junction of routes 3 and 25. Greemore acknowledged that a roundabout could be the best solution, but warned “we’re going to lose buildings, parking and a lot else. There is no real easy answer.” Both Torr and Kahn said that with the state short of funding for highway projects there is little likelihood the intersection will be addressed in the foreseeable future. “I think we’re stuck with it,” said Kahn, who added that residents have found ways around it and the immediate challenge was prevent heavy trucks from using these alternative routes. Torr feared if the town pressed the issue “we’ll be stuck with a roundabout” and suggested “leave it alone.” Paula Triombi, referring to a letter Greemore sent to the press remarking on the “tax and spend mentality” of the Selectboard, asked her where she would reduce the budget. Greemore replied that she had not an opportunity to review the budget, but repeated that “all taxes, federal, state and local are going up. It’s inevitable.” Torr explained that since 2009 the Selectboard has budgeted to peg the amount raised by property taxes to the level of 2008 while conceding there would be some increase in 2013 to compensate for deferred investment in infrastructure and equipment. Asked what is their “pet peeve,” Kahn replied “maybe I see too much sunshine, but I really don’t have a significant gripe.” Greemore urged residents to bring their concerns to the selectmen. And Torr said “why are they digging up the road in front of the bank again,” referring to the recurrent problems with the sewer line belonging to the Winnipesaukee River Basin Project on Route 25. The election will be held on Tuesday, March 12.
from preceding page month earlier than usual, and peaked by the end of year. Hospitalization rates for people 65 and older have been some of the highest in a decade, at 146 per 100,000 people. Flu viruses tend to mutate more quickly than others, so a new vaccine is formulated each year to target the strains expected to be the major threats. CDC officials have said that in formulating this year’s vaccine, scientists accurately anticipated the strains that are circulating this season. Because of the guesswork involved, scientists tend to set a lower bar for flu vaccine. While childhood vaccines against diseases like measles are expected to be 90 or 95 percent effective, a flu vaccine that’s 60 to 70 percent effective in the U.S. is considered pretty good. By that standard, this year’s vaccine is OK. For senior citizens, a flu vaccine is considered pretty
Monto, a University of Michigan flu expert. A high-dose version of the flu shot was recently made available for those 65 and older, but the new study was too small to show whether that has made a difference. The CDC estimates are based on about 2,700 people who got sick in December and January. The researchers traced back to see who had gotten shots and who hadn’t. An earlier, smaller study put the vaccine’s overall effectiveness at 62 percent, but other factors that might have influenced that figure weren’t taken into account. The CDC’s Bresee said there is a danger in providing preliminary results because it may result in people doubting — or skipping — flu shots. But the figures were released to warn older people who got shots that they may still get sick and shouldn’t ignore any serious flu-like symptoms, he said.
Laconia joining other school districts in adopting policy for dealing with sports-related concussions By Gail OBer
LACONIA — The School Board is expected to adopt a policy that delineates how student athletes are treated after suffering a possible concussion or head injury while participating in any sport. The board accepted a first reading of the policy that is rapidly being adopted by schools throughout New Hampshire and the Lakes Region this week. “The Laconia Board acknowledges the risk of catastrophic injuries or death is significant when a concussion or head injury is not properly evaluated and managed,” reads proposed policy that has been vetted and recommended by the N.H. School Board Association. Among other things, the policy spells out the education that adult coaches and trainers are to have regarding head injury and each year the district will distribute an information sheet to parents regarding concussions. In addition the policy requires the athletic director to review and update any changes in procedures regarding head trauma by consulting with the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association and medical professionals. The policy sets out standards for removal from play and returning to play as well as incorporating concussion awareness into education models. In the event a student gets a concussion, class room teachers will be taught to observe the student and report to the school nurse any abnormal behavior that could be related to a head injury. The policy was adopted by Gilford in December of 2012 and is being considered by the Shaker Regional School Board and the Newfound Regional School Board. The Inter-Lakes School Board, said Athletic Director Jeff Cloos, has adopted a similar policy and along with Shaker, has mandated base-line testing for all
athletes before they participate in sports. Dr. John Grobman of Orthopedic Professional Associates in Gilford, who attends Laconia and Gilford football games, met with the Laconia School Board to discuss head trauma in October of 2011. He explained that high school athletes are especially vulnerable to what he called the “second injury syndrome” because their brains are still developing. In 2011 Grobman worked with Athletic Director Jim Chase and Middle School Athletic Director Chris Ennis to institute the base-line testing program developed by Pittsburgh area doctors in the 1990s. Grobman, Chase, and Ennis also worked with physical trainers at Summit Health to develop the program that has been in place for about two years said Chase yesterday. Chase said Grobman and the trainer are trained to use the Web-based concussion program and cannot reenter any athletic event after sustaining a head injury without one of them approving it. Cloos said the policy at Inter-Lakes is that any student who suffers and head injury will not return to sports until he or she passes the base-line test for clearance. Cloos said a trainer has also been added to the sports teams. He said by was of example he’s seen one concussion in a middle school female soccer player and, most recently, a male high school hockey player. He said both were evaluated by the program. Superintendent Maria Dreyer of Shaker Regional said her board will likely be looking at an official policy shortly but the athletic coaches have all undergone training to evaluate head trauma along with the base-line testing. “I am familiar with the policy and it is on my list for the policy committee,” Dreyer said, adding the members of the Shaker Board are dedicated to the safety of their students.
HAGEL from page 2 tioned Hagel’s support for Israel, tolerance of Iran and willingness to cut the nuclear arsenal. His opposition to the Iraq war after his initial vote for the conflict angered his onetime friend, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. GOP lawmakers demanded more time to review the nomination that a divided Armed Services Committee had approved on a party-line vote.
Shelby’s support was a clear sign of weakening Republican opposition, and it prompted two letters within hours from Hagel’s fiercest GOP foes. One letter went to the president calling on him to withdraw the nomination, the other to GOP senators pleading with them to stand together against Hagel. Fifteen Republicans senators wrote that Hagel lacks the bipartisan support and confidence to serve in the vital job of defense secretary.

VEGAS from page 2 Two people were critically wounded in a shooting at a parking garage on Feb. 6, and a tourist was stabbed last Saturday in an elevator at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay. Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie told reporters several hours after Thursday’s attack that it was sparked by an argument in the valet area of the nearby Aria hotel-casino, and that the violence at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road did not reflect the values of Las Vegas residents or visitors. “What happened will not be tolerated,” Gillespie said. He promised the shooters would be “found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” On the Strip, the fiery rampage shocked tourists. “This doesn’t happen where we come from, not on this scale,” said Mark Thompson, who was visiting from Manchester, England, with his wife. “We get stabbings, and gang violence, but this is like something out of a movie. Like ‘Die Hard’ or something.” Police said they were contacting authorities in three neighboring states about the Range Rover Sport with dark tinted windows, distinctive black custom rims and paper dealer ads in place of license plates that fled the scene about 4:20 a.m. In Southern California, the California Highway Patrol alerted officers in at least three counties to be on the lookout for the SUV. Las Vegas Police Sgt. John Sheahan said the Range Rover was last seen near the Venetian resort as it headed north from the shooting scene on Las Vegas Boulevard. Witnesses also told police the SUV and Maserati had come from the nearby CityCenter area, the home of Aria just south of the site of the attack. “We have numerous witnesses to this,” Sheahan said. “But what is the genesis of this? We don’t know yet.” Predawn jogger Eric Lackey was on his way back to the New York-New York hotel when he snapped a cellphone photo of the blazing scene moments after the crash. Black smoke billowed from the flaming taxi, amid popping sounds from the fire. Lackey, of Forest Hill, Md., said a security officer in a yellow shirt performed CPR on a person on the sidewalk while police officers canvassed a small crowd of perhaps 15 onlookers gathering at the scene. “Police were asking if anyone was still in the vehicles and if they heard gunfire,” Lackey told The Associated Press. “That’s when I realized it wasn’t just a regular accident.” Sheahan said police have video from traffic cameras at the intersection and were checking hotel surveillance systems. The video will not be made public, he said. Police said the driver and passenger in the taxi were killed. The male driver of the Maserati also died, and his passenger was shot. Police did not release their names, citing the ongoing investigation. The crumpled, gray sports car, which had no license plates, came to rest several feet away from the incinerated taxi.

Weaver’s civic involvement has included membership in several local community development organizations and the statewide Community Development Block Grant Advisory Committee. Weaver is a past member of the Gilford Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Jury in Concord finds woman lied about role in Rwanda genocide; judge strips her of U.S. citizenship CONCORD (AP) — Federal prosecutors in New Hampshire changed their witnesses and strategy to do what they failed to do a year ago — convict a Rwandan woman of falsely obtaining U.S. citizenship by concealing her role in a 1994 genocide. Upon hearing the guilty verdicts Thursday, nearly a year after another jury failed to reach one, 43-yearold Beatrice Munyenyezi put her head down on the defense table and wept loudly. U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe stripped her of her citizenship — in the same courthouse where she obtained it a decade ago — and ordered her taken into custody to await sentencing June 3. She faces up to 10 years in prison and deportation. Munyeneyzi’s 18-year-old daughter, Saro, sobbed as she left the courtroom. Defense attorney David Ruoff said they will appeal her conviction. He said prosecutors this time around brought in witnesses who were “less disbelievable” than those who testified at the first trial, including several Rwandas who were serving life sentences for murders and rapes they committed during the genocide. “The evidence presented by the government was a lot different than it was last time,” Ruoff said. “We knew we had an uphill battle. They knew what their problems were in the other case and they fixed them.” The jury last year deliberated 19 hours before reporting it was hopelessly deadlocked. This time, jurors spent less than five hours mulling 10 days of testimony before announcing their verdicts Thursday. Munyenyezi was indicted in June 2010 and remained in custody until last April — when she was released to home confinement in Manchester a month after the mistrial was declared. The first count alleged she denied any role in the
genocide or affiliation with any political party at the time. The second count alleged she was not eligible for citizenship because she entered the country unlawfully by making the same false statements on her refugee and green card applications. In the second trial, prosecutors called upon new witnesses who placed Munyenyezi at a checkpoint where Tutsis were identified by the ethnicity listed on their Rwandan ID cards and ordered killed. Other witnesses testified they saw her in the garb worn by leaders of the MRND — the extremist Hutu political party. The only comment offered by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Capin outside of court: “She’s guilty.” Munyenyezi’s husband, Arsene Shalom Ntahobali, and his mother were convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda and sentenced to life in prison in June 2011 for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes of violence. Both were deemed to be high-ranking members of the Hutu militia party that orchestrated savage attacks on members of the rival Tutsis. Ntahobali also was convicted of rape. His mother was a cabinet minister in the Hutu-dominated Rwandan government when the genocide began in early April 1994. At that time, Munyenyezi lived in Butare, at a hotel owned by her husband’s family. Hotel workers testified she was pregnant with twins, and had a baby daughter to care for, and stayed in the hotel until July. Munyenyezi, when she testified on her husband’s behalf before the international tribunal, said there was no roadblock in front of the hotel and that life at the hotel was “boring.” But jurors saw U.S. Department of Defense satellite photos that showed a roadblock in front of the hotel and the line of people Capin called “a human traffic jam.” He said Munyenyezi had “a front row seat” during the genocide.

By Holiday Mathis important thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have every right to take up space, so use it and use it well. And if you can manage to be graceful in the process, you’ll be not only effective, but also a delight to behold. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may reach the end of a commitment and still feel a lingering attachment. Cut the emotional strings. Once you’ve paid a debt in full, it’s over. Leave the baggage behind you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have yet to tap into the full range of what your community has to offer your latest endeavor. There may be a professional organization that can help you reach your goal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t always have to know what to do, but it helps if you at least know what not to do. There’s no point to going into a situation completely blind. Ask for guidelines. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you memorize may inform you, but what you learn on your own through experience will transform you. So get your hands dirty today. Throw yourself into the process, not the theory. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 22). The next three weeks bring recognition for your professional and creative efforts. In March, you’ll be victorious in a game or ongoing dispute. April offers a welcome change of scenery. Resist temptation, and you’ll be rewarded in May. June reconnects you with old friends and romantic interests. Virgo and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 10, 3, 37 and 21.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your subconscious will work overtime to help you sort out the facts and feelings of the day. Tonight, your dreams will reflect the unusual circumstances going on in your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is not a bad thing to owe a debt. Regardless of the type of debt you owe, it can keep you going, working and trying on a level that you wouldn’t if you didn’t have something to pay back. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have so much in common with the one you meet today that it will seem as if you are destined to know each other. A short conversation reveals the many interests, associations and experiences you share. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do you really need a reason to celebrate? The sequence of events that had to occur for any of us to come into being is so highly improbable that we might consider being amazed that we exist at all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today will go by quickly, but it is long enough for you to accomplish amazing things. For instance, you’ll make someone happy, share a meal, affirm a relationship and wonder deeply. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When something is going on with you emotionally, your body soon adopts a sympathetic pain. So address the emotional need now, and you’ll keep the physical one from manifesting. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Try not to be so uptight about the schedule. Nothing is set in stone. Whether you’re prompt, late or early, it will all work out. A relaxed, cheerful tone is the most

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Feb. 22, the 53rd day of 2013. There are 312 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style date), the first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony. On this date: In 1784, a U.S. merchant ship, the Empress of China, left New York for the Far East to trade goods with China. In 1862, Jefferson Davis, already the provisional president of the Confederacy, was inaugurated for a six-year term following his election in November 1861. In 1865, Tennessee adopted a new constitution which included the abolition of slavery. In 1909, the Great White Fleet, a naval task force sent on a round-the-world voyage by President Theodore Roosevelt, returned after more than a year at sea. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio broadcast from the White House as he addressed the country over 42 stations. In 1935, it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House. In 1943, Pan Am Flight 9035, a Boeing 314 flying boat, crashed while attempting to land in Lisbon, Portugal. Twenty-five people were killed; 14 survived, including actress-singer Jane Froman. In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty. In 1967, more than 25,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Junction City, aimed at smashing a Vietcong stronghold near the Cambodian border. (Although the communists were driven out, they later returned.) In 1973, the United States and China agreed to establish liaison offices. In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place in Lake Placid, N.Y., as the United States Olympic hockey team upset the Soviets, 4-3. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) In 1993, the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved creation of an international war crimes tribunal to punish those responsible for atrocities in the former Yugoslavia. One year ago: Primed for a fight, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum swapped accusations about health care, spending earmarks and federal bailouts in the 20th debate of the roller-coaster race for the Republican presidential nomination, held in Mesa, Ariz. Today’s Birthdays: Announcer Don Pardo is 95. Actor Paul Dooley is 85. Hollywood “ghost singer” Marni Nixon is 83. Movie director Jonathan Demme is 69. Actor John Ashton is 65.

93% of LRGHealthcare’s workers got flu vaccine
LACONIA — In the midst of the toughest flu season in years, if you are sick and need to visit Lakes Region General Hospital, Franklin Regional Hospital or any provider practice in the LRGHealthcare network, chances are very good the staff caring for you have been immunized against the disease. Every October, LRGHealthcare’s Infection Control and Employee Health departments set forth to immunize the entire LRGHealthcare network. This is accomplished by offering on-site and off-site, free flu shot clinics for all staff, providers, volunteers and clergy. “We take the spread of any infection very seriously,” stated LRGHealthcare Director of Infection Control Darlene Burrows. “Our control measures are an important part of our every day commitment to quality and patient safety, and it includes planning for the flu season yearly.” In 2012, LRGHealthcare set a goal to increase seasonal flu vaccinations, and their network immunization rate hit an all time high of 93%. LRGHealthcare’s rating is well above the national average, which was about 83% of health care workers in hospitals to receive flu shots, according to the CDC. At LRGHealthcare, the flu shot program is mandatory, but there are exemption allowances for medical and religious reasons, and health care workers
who are not immunized must sign a declination, and are required to wear a mask in all patient care areas during the flu season. “All LRGHealthcare facilities, including hospitals and practices follow infection control guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services,” expressed LRGHealthcare Medical Director of Infectious Disease, Dr. Abigail Dacuycuy. “Patient quality and safety are top priorities—it is why we participate in initiatives such as, ‘High 5 for a Healthy NH’ hand hygiene. When flu season rolls around our healthcare workers get immunized because they understand the importance of protecting the people they care for every day both at work and at home. The key to limiting the spread of infectious diseases, in hospitals and the community is common sense. The CDC estimates that infections passed between humans would be reduced by 50% if everyone practiced good hand hygiene. Hand washing, use of hand sanitizers, the practice of good respiratory hygiene, getting seasonal flu shots, and staying home when you are ill—those are all simple solutions, and are the most effective ways to protect ourselves.

Belknap County Convention, Commission budget battle on LRPA-TV
LACONIA — Newspaper readers have recently been treated, and, perhaps, enticed, by the press reports of what transpired at the joint meeting of the Belknap County Convention and the Belknap County Commission this past Tuesday night, February 19. According to one reporter [Michael Kitch, Page One of the 2/20 Daily Sun], Representative Dennis Fields of Sanbornton “noted that neither the commissioners nor the taxpayers could know what we’re doing if we meet in small groups, between public meetings to discuss our plans.’” Fields summed it up “How can that be doing the people’s business in a transparent way?” Thanks to the Region’s Public Access cable-vision station LRPA, there is some transparency. LRPA had a crew present and filming at the meeting. Viewers of LRPA will be able to form their own opinions after witnessing the 3-hour meeting for themselves. The first playing of the joint County meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday on Metrocast’s Channel 26. The show will re-play many times over the following weeks. Check http://www.lrpa.org/custom_ shows.php for the times of subsequent re-plays.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, February 22, 2013— Page 19
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My daughter hasn’t spoken to me in 20 years. “Linda” is 45 years old and has been married since around 1993. I wasn’t invited to her wedding, so I am not sure. I think she received a master’s degree, but I wasn’t invited to her graduation, so I’m not sure of that, either. Linda’s mother left me for her married lover when our daughter was 6. Instead of taking custody, I felt it best for her mother to raise her, which was a big mistake. My current wife enjoyed a good relationship with Linda. We visited her during her college years and gave her money to spend. But once she finished her degree, we never heard from her again. She didn’t reply to our phone calls, letters or emails. Linda’s brother informed me that she and her husband have four children we have never met. The oldest must be about 16 and the youngest about 3, but I do not know any of their birthdates. When I tried to find out why she stopped all contact, the only thing she said was, “Whatever the reason that you think it is.” Linda was trained as a family counselor. What happened in her training that would lead her to refuse a relationship with her own father? The divorce wasn’t my idea, so why am I left out in the cold? -- Father Who Can’t See His Child Dear Father: This has nothing to do with Linda’s training. More likely, it is some grudge she has been holding onto for years. Since you are in contact with your son and he is in touch with his sister, ask him to act as your intermediary. Have him tell Linda that you are sorry for anything you may have done that has created this estrangement, and you want to know how to reconcile. We hope she is responsive. Dear Annie: I am only 11, but I want the truth and not the
lies most people tell kids. I have had a best friend, “Janie,” for about four years. I am an only child, and my parents are divorced, so Janie is everything to me. I recently started middle school, and now we only have one class together. Janie recently became friends with another girl. I don’t think I can compete with this girl, because she is really pretty and wears designer clothes. Anyway, Janie and this girl always hang out together, and it makes me feel really left out. I can’t lose her. She is like the sister I never had. Should I do something? If so, what? -- Lost and Alone Dear Lost: Here’s the truth, and you may not like it: In middle school, it is not unusual for kids to develop new interests and new friends. Some of them discard their old friends in the process. If Janie is so shallow that she chooses her friends based on their clothes, she’s not much of a true friend, and we think you know that. It’s OK to tell her you miss the friendship you once had and then see whether she is more attentive. But you are also changing and maturing. As much as you have relied on Janie in the past, it’s time for you to hold your head up and make new friends who are steadfast and appreciate you as you are. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Dear Annie: Like “Too Well Endowed in Kansas,” I have struggled for years with the same problem. I’m 72 years old, and my current doctor is the only one who suggested breast reduction as a way to help with my back, neck and other issues. I figured I was too old, but the doctor said I was a perfect candidate. I had surgery and am loving the results. -- Newfound Freedom in New York

Clancy Legacy Quartet bringing Irish musical romp to Wolfeboro
WOLFEBORO — The Wolfeboro Friends of Music invite the public to take an early St. Patrick’s Day musical romp with The Clancy Legacy Quartet at Brewster Academy’s Anderson Hall on Saturday March 2 at 7:30 p.m. Sponsors for this event are Green Mountain Communications and Avery Insurance. Comprised of Robbie O’Connell, Aoife Clancy, Hanneke Cassel, and Erik Wendelken, The Clancy Legacy Quartet builds on the foundation established more than 50 years ago by Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers. Robbie O’Connell and Aoife Clancy are the next generation of the celebrated Clancy Brothers music clan. Tommy Makem was one of the organizers of “The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem” (Paddy Clancy, Tom Clancy, and Tommy Makem). In 1956 he emigrated from Keady, Co Armagh, Northern Ireland to Dover New Hampshire where he produced their first album of Irish Rebel songs called “The Rising of the Moon.” Decades later (2006) Robbie and Aoife tapped their innate talents during the New York Irish Arts Week and came out shining in their first Clancy Legacy CD released in March 2010. Robbie O’Connell, a nephew of the Clancy Brothers, grew up in Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, where his parents had a small hotel. At age thirteen he began to play guitar and sing, soon weekly at the hotel, then touring English folk clubs before enrolling at University College Dublin where he studied Literature and Philosophy. With the release, in 1982, of his first solo album, “Close to the Bone,” O’Connell emerged as a touring artist of major stature. Aoife Clancy (pronounced “Eefa”) comes from the small town of Carrick-on-Suir, in Co Tipperary, Ireland, where her musical career began at an early age. Her father, Bobby Clancy of the Clancy Brothers, placed a guitar in her hands at age ten, and by age fourteen she was playing with her father in nearby pubs. In 1995 Clancy was asked to join the acclaimed group “Cherish the Ladies,” which continues to be one of the most sought-after Irish American groups in history. In recent years as The Clancy Legacy, O’Connell and Clancy have been joined by Hanneke Cassel, folk violin, and Erik Wendelken, acoustic bass. The Wolfeboro Friends of Music eight-concert series runs from September through May for the benefit of all citizens and visitors in Wolfeboro and the Lakes Region; season sponsor is Points North Financial. Tickets for Saturday, March 2 are available for $20 at the door; at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro; or at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling (603) 569-2151; or by visiting the website at www.wfriendsofmusic.org.

Poets in the Attic group draws from all over the state WOLFEBORO – “Poets and cockroaches,” says Poets in the Attic host Gordon Lang. “After a nuclear holocaust, that’s who will still be alive, scurrying around, going through their day-to-day routine.” Last month’s Poets in the Attic reading at The Country Bookseller was one of the smallest ever, Lang said. And one of the best. “The ones who made it, the dedicated ones, were some of our best,” he said. “The weather was threatening, but the diehards still came in. And it was a real treat. Everyone got to read a lot.” The Poets in the Attic meet every fourth Thursday at The Country Bookseller in Wolfeboro at 7 p.m. Joe Bradley of Pocket Mountain Video records the first hour for broadcast on Community Television, and then the poets continue their open reading for another hour. “We were such small group Joe hardly had to move the camera,” Lang said. “But the quality? Any time we get Dudley Laufman up from Canterbury,
you know it’s going to be a good night.” At 82, National Heritage Fellow Laufman says he braves the night drive north of the big lake because of the camaraderie and the caliber of the poetry. This is also what draws Charlotte Cox around from Laconia and Tom Diegoli down from Gorham. Local fans of poetry, of course, don’t have to crisscross the state to enjoy such a concentration of good writing. They can catch their favorite Poets in the Attic gathered in a circle at The Country Bookseller next Thursday, February 28, at 7 p.m. They can also buy DVD recordings of past performances. And, as always, all who attend are invited to join in and read their own work or the works of others. The Country Bookseller is on North Main Street in the Durgin Stables complex of shops. Free off-street parking right next to the store is available via Mill Street. For more information about joining the Poets in the Attic, contact Gordon or Cheryl Lang by phone at 5394472 or by email at poetsintheattic@gmail.com.
