Alton says ‘no’ to $18.7M school building project
ALTON —Voters yesterday resoundingly refused to spend $18.7-million renovating and expanding Alton Central School. Article 2 to raise and appropriate $17.7-million and withdraw the balance from capital reserve funds, which required a super-majority of three-fifths for passage, failed to garner a majority, falling by a vote of 685 in favor and 731 against. Incumbent Krista Argiropolis topped the poll in the three-way race for the two seats on the School Board with 672 votes, edging Carlos Martinez, who claimed the other seat with 660 votes. Mary Doherty, a write-in candidate, finished third. Robert Daniels led the four candidates seeking two seats on the Board of Selectmen with 690 votes and Loring Carr, the vice-chairman of the board, was re-elected with 600 votes. Steve Miller, who recently achieved notoriety as a member of the School Board, finished third with 480 votes, trailed by Lawrence Tilly with 468 votes. — Michael Kitch

Lawyer advises Belknap Convention to elect officers again By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Belknap County Convention has scheduled a meeting on Tuesday, March 19 when, for the third time, it will vote to elect a chairperson, vice-chairperson, clerk and executive committee
in an effort to parry a lawsuit brought by Tom Tardif and Dave Gammon alleging that the original election, which was conducted by secret paper ballot back in early December, violated the Right-to-Know law. Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith), who chaired the
convention throughout the budget process, said yesterday that the meeting was convened on “the advice of counsel.” However, she declined to identify the attorney who proffered the advice. “I’m not sure I can answer that,” she said when asked.
Worsman’s refusal apparently reflects her sensitivity to the dispute between the convention and the Belknap County Commission over the authority to retain legal counsel to represent the convention in the litigation. Two attorneys, see COnVenTIOn page 14

Strong showing in Meredith leads Billings to narrow I-L board win MEREDITH — Mark Billings defeated Chris Mega by a very slim margin in yesterday’s voting, earning the privilege of representing Meredith for a three year term on the Inter-Lakes School Board. Billings attracted 617 votes, 50.8 percent of the total, while Mega had 596. The two candidates were running to succeed Jack Carty, who is retiring after
three consecutive terms on the board. Sally Whalen, the Center Harbor representative, was re-elected without opposition to a three-year term. Of the three towns in the school district, Billings only carried Meredith in yesterday’s voting, winning in that town by the margin of 439 (61 percent) to 283. Center Harbor voters preferred Mega

by the rate of 95 to 78. Mega was also the hands-down favorite in Sandwich, where he won 218 (69 percent) of the 318 votes cast. Candidates for the dedicated Meredith seat had to be residents of that township but voters in all three towns were able to participate in the voting. — Adam Drapcho

Golfer survives fall into sinkhole on Illinois course
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mark Mihal was having a good opening day on the links when he noticed an unusual depression on the 14th fairway at Annbriar Golf Club in southern Illinois. Remarking to his friends how awkward it would be to have to hit out of it, he went over for a closer look. One step onto the pocked section and the 43-year-old mortgage broker plunged into a sinkhole. He landed 18 feet down with a painful thud, and his friends managed to hoist him to safety with a rope after about 20 minutes. But Friday’s experience gave Mihal quite a fright, particularly after the recent death of a Florida man whose body hasn’t been found since a sinkhole swallowed him and his bedroom. “I feel lucky just to come out of it with a shoulder injury, falling that far and not knowing what I was going to hit,” Mihal, from the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur, told The Associated Press before heading off to learn whether he’ll need surgery. “It was absolutely crazy.” Annbriar general see GOLFER page 14

Black smoke from Sistine Chapel chimney; no pope yet VATICAN CITY (AP) — This time there was no doubt. There was no new pope yet, and the mystery of who — and when — was as thick as the unmistakable heavy black smoke billowing from the Sistine Chapel chimney. As thousands waited in a cold night rain in St. Peter’s Square, the cardinals signaled Tuesday they had failed on their first attempt to find a leader for the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics and their troubled church. “It’s black, it’s black, it’s waaay black!” screamed Eliza Nagle, a 21-year-old Notre
Dame theology major on an exchange program in Rome, as the smoke poured from the 6-foot-high copper chimney at 7:41 p.m. “They definitely got the color right this time,” agreed Father Andrew Gawrych, an American priest based in Rome, referring to the confusion over the smoke during the 2005 conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI. That was thanks to special smoke flares — akin to those used in soccer matches or protests — lit in the chapel ovens to make the burned ballots black, the sign that cardinals must come back for another day of
voting Wednesday. Tuesday’s drama unfolded against the backdrop of the turmoil unleashed by Benedict’s surprise resignation and the exposure of deep divisions among cardinals grappling with whether they need a manager to clean up the Vatican’s dysfunctional bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of waning faith and growing secularism.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans redoubled their efforts to roll back signature accomplishments of President Barack Obama on Tuesday, offering a slashing budget plan that would repeal new health care subsidies and cut spending across a wide swath of programs dear to Obama and his Democratic allies. The GOP plan was immediately rejected by the White House as an approach that
“just doesn’t add up” and would harm America’s middle class. Obama said the plan would “slash deeply” into programs such as Medicaid. Obama has rebuffed similar GOP plans two years in a row and ran strongly against the ideas when winning re-election last year — when its chief author, Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was on the Republican ticket.
Ryan’s budget illustrates the stark differences in the visions of tea party-backed Republicans and Obama and his Democratic allies about the size and role of government — with no obvious avenues for compromise. Obama, in an ABC-TV interview Tuesday, said he would not seek to balance the federal budget in 10 years, as Ryan’s plan see GOP page

Ex-husband of woman found at concrete plant charge with murder
EPPING (AP) — New Hampshire police are charging the ex-husband of a woman whose body was found in a vacant concrete plant last week with murder. Prosecutors say 36-year-old Aaron Desjardins of Epping killed Amanda “Amy” Warf. The medical examiner determined
Warf, who was 36, died of multiple wounds to the necks. Desjardins is charged with first-degree murder. His is scheduled to be arraigned in Exeter District Court Wednesday. Police searched Desjardin’s house over the weekend and he told the media he had

South Korea pledges to hit back hard if North Korea steps over the line SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Recent Korean history reveals a sobering possibility: It may only be a matter of time before North Korea launches a sudden, deadly attack on the South. And perhaps more unsettling, Seoul has vowed that this time, it will respond with an even stronger blow. Humiliated by past attacks, South Korea has promised — as recently as Tuesday — to hit back hard at the next assault from the North, opening up the prospect that a skirmish could turn into a wider war. Lost in the headline-making North Korean bluster about nuclear strikes on Washington in response to U.N. sanctions is a single sentence in a North Korean army Supreme Command statement of March 5. It said North Korea “will make a strike of justice at any target anytime as it pleases without limit.” Those words have a chilling link to the recent past, when Pyongyang, angry over perceived slights, took its time before exacting revenge on rival South Korea. Vows of retaliation after naval clashes with South Korea in 1999 and 2009, for example, were followed by more bloodshed, including attacks blamed on North Korea that killed 50 South Koreans in 2010. Those attacks three years ago “are vivid reminders of the regime’s capabilities and intentions,” Bruce Klingner, a former U.S. intelligence official now at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, wrote in a recent think tank posting. Almost a mirror image of the current tensions happened in 2009, when the U.N. approved sanctions over North Korean missile and nuclear tests, and Pyongyang responded with fury. In November of that year, Seoul claimed victory in a sea battle with the North, and Pyongyang vowed revenge. In March 2010, the Cheonan, a 1,200-ton South Korean warship, exploded and sank in the Yellow Sea, killing 46 sailors. A South Korean-led international investigation found that North Korea torpedoed the ship, a claim Pyongyang denies. The Cheonan sinking may have been retaliation for the naval defeat four months earlier, said Koh Yuhwan, a North Korea specialist at
Seoul’s Dongguk University. In November 2010, North Korea sent a warning to South Korea to cancel a routine live-fire artillery drill planned on Yeonpyeong Island, which is only seven miles from North Korea and lies in Yellow Sea waters that North Korea claims as its own. South Korea went ahead with the drills, firing, Seoul says, into waters away from North Korean territory. North Korea sent artillery shells raining down on the island, killing two civilians and two marines. South Korea responded with artillery fire of its own, but the government of then-President Lee Myung-bak was severely criticized for what was seen as a slow, weak response. Lee, a conservative who infuriated North Korea by ending the previous liberal government’s “sunshine policy” of huge aid shipments with few strings attached, vowed massive retaliation if hit again by the North. The government of newly inaugurated President Park Geun-hye, also a conservative, has made similar comments, though she has also said she will try to build trust with North Korea and explore renewed dialogue and aid shipments. South Korea’s Defense Ministry on Tuesday repeated that it would respond harshly to any future attack from the North. Spokesman Kim Min-seok said there were no signs that North Korea would attack anytime soon, but warned that if it did, it would suffer “much more powerful damage” than whatever it inflicted on South Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Monday visited artillery troops near disputed waters with South Korea and urged them to be on “maximum alert” because war could break out anytime, according to Pyongyang’s official media. If war broke out, the United States would assume control of South Korea’s military because of the countries’ decades-old alliance that began with the U.S.-led military response to North Korean invaders in 1950. But South Korea has made clear that it has a sovereign right, and a political necessity, to respond strongly to future North Korean attacks.
WEST COVINA, Calif. (AP) — Four men — including the would-be groom — have been arrested for a marriage proposal stunt in which hundreds of motorcycles blocked a Southern California freeway, authorities said. The prospective groom and three of his friends were all booked for investigation of misdemeanor public nuisance and participating in an unlawful assembly. The 24-year-old groom, Hector Martinez of Covina, also was booked for investigation of exhibition of speed, authorities said Tuesday. As many as 250 motorcycles stopped on the eastbound Interstate 10 in West Covina on Jan. 27 so that Martinez could propose to his girlfriend. At one point, a bike sent up a cloud of
pink smoke. The stunt, which lasted about two minutes, was captured on video and went viral on the Internet. “They made a spectacle of it,” said Sgt. Kurt Stormes of the California Highway Patrol. “It’s a slap in the face of law enforcement, in general.” Martinez’s bride-to-be accepted the proposal. She is not facing any charges. Stormes said investigators were able to find the men through social media. “They bragged about it a lot,” Stormes said of the bikers. Three members of a rock band were each sentenced to probation last year and 35 days of community service for blocking a freeway to promote their music.

4 who returned tell Inter-Lakes students virtues of living & working in home town BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Students at Inter-Lakes High School Tuesday morning heard the stories of four people who grew up in the Lakes Region and, after exposure to the wider world, decided to return to make their careers and lives in their home communities. ‘’Coming back to New Hampshire is the best decision I ever made,’’ said Ashley Landroche, owner of The Studio at Meredith Bay, where she teaches dancing, yoga and performing arts. She grew up dancing under her grandmother’s instruction at Meredith’s own Sally’s School of Dance and from early on in her life had her eyes set on the big stage, spending her high school years at the Walnut Hill School for the Arts near Boston and moving on to the University of Cincinnati’s CollegeConservatory of Music where she earned a B.F.A in Musical Theatre.. From there she went to New York City, where between auditioning for parts she supported herself as a waitress, eventually landing a job as a performer on a cruise ship where she spent two and a half years. ‘’I got to see a lot of the world but all the time I was away I was thinking of New Hampshire. I decided to come back to be close to my family and bring what I learned back to the community,’’ Landroche told the students. She says that she is now in a committed relationship and building a home in area after having started her own business just last June. Rob Stephens, manager of Moulton’s Farm, said that he never really went away from the Lakes Region, although he did feel the pull of the outside world, passing up an internship at Disney World in order to remain in New Hampshire. A 1996 graduate of Moultonborough Academy who had started working at Moulton’s Farm in 1990, Stephens earned a degree in horticulture and landscape design from the Thompson School of Applied Sciences at UNH in 1998 and started his own landscaping business which is now run by his younger brothers.

(Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)
‘’I was always interested in hands-on kind of things and family is very important to me,’’ said Stephens, who urged the students to find what it is they are passionate about and apply themselves to it. He said that the local Lakes Region Community College in Laconia is a good place to start, especially for those who have an interest in working with their hands. ‘’Don’t be ashamed. There are great opportunities there,’’ said Stephens, who pointed out that the college is not only close, but is also affordable. ‘’There’s nothing worse than going to college or school and coming out with a load of debt,’’ said Stephens. Selectman Carla Horne, who grew up in Meredith and is the daughter of the town’s former police chief, urged the students to take advantage of the supportive environment they have in high school and apply themselves so that they will be well prepared for their future. ‘’It took me until I was 40 to learn what I wanted to do. When I was in high school I was more interested in basketball than the classroom,’’ said Horne, who said that she attended Plymouth State University with a goal of becoming an elementary school teacher but decided that wasn’t for her. She later went to Florida where she studied architecture before moving back to Meredith, where she worked in the construction business for 20 years. Some 13 years ago she went back to school and started her own home inspection business, Grand View Home Inspections, which in recent years has
expanded beyond the Lakes Region. ‘’I love my job and I love Meredith and there are great opportunities here,’’ Horne told the students, telling them that citizen volunteers have created ‘’a strong, close knit community’’ which she is proud to be a part of. Atty. Matthew Huot of the Wescott, Dyer, Fitzgerald and Nichols law office in Laconia, is a 2001 graduate of Laconia High School who earned degree in government at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and his law degree at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. He said that he came back to Laconia, along with his wife, who is an also an attorney, because of family ties and the love of the area and it’s natural beauty. ‘’We need young professionals who are engaged and involved and who can make a positive contribution to their communities,’’ said Huot, who along with the other participants told the students that it was important to work while in high school to put themselves in a position where they can succeed in their career goals. The panelists were introduced by Rhonda Hanaway of the Career Partnership Program, a public/ private partnership between The Greater Meredith Program and the school district, which encourages student participation through a variety of initiatives, including job shadowing, internships with local businesses, community service and assisting students in finding and applying for summer or part-time employment.

Pike narrowly beats Condodemetraky & voters will allow waste transfer station By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Despite a year of fending off accusations of living elsewhere and controversy about taking a settlement from the town over money he believed owed to him over health insurance premiums, incumbent Selectmen Jon Pike defeated challenger George Condodemetraky yesterday and earned a third three-year term as selectman. Pike won the election by a mere 25 votes of the 509 cast. Garnering spots on the Planning Board were incumbents Ward Peterson and Michael Leclair, while Marshall Ford and John Froumy will serve on the Zoning Board. Diane Johnson bested Sheila Sullivan for a spot as a library trustee by a vote of 271 to 162. The town passed a change in the zoning ordinance (Ballot Question 2) that will allow household waste to be collected at facilities built in industrial zones. There were two distinct sides to the Ballot question 2. The town through its Planning Board supported passing the a zoning ordinance that would include household waste as a permitted use in the industrial zone. In a letter of support, Town Admin-
istrator Jeanne Beaudin said a community can often benefit financially from having a household waste transfer station in its community. She noted that Belmont has budgeted just over $500,000 for household waste disposal for 2013 and with tipping fees on the rise, a solid waste facility in town coupled with more voluntary recycling could save the town money in future trash disposal costs. The Conservation Commission was on the fence on this one. While any proposal that may come from Casella Resource Solutions would likely include a request for household waste, members of the Conservation Commission were split about having the facility above the aquifer. Chair Ken Knowlton said that while he has no reason to believe Casella would be anything but good tenants, he personally was reluctant to support the change, as was Condodemetraky who feared adding household waste at a site above the aquifer could present dangerous environmental concerns down the road to the towns’ drinking water supply. Voters defeated a ballot question by a margin of 269 to 223 an article that would have added two library trustees and bring the board total to five.
MacLoed, Carpenter & Mini win seats on Gilmanton School Board GILMANTON — Incumbent Malcolm MacLeod defeated Krystyn Fischev by a 35-vote margin to be the next two-year member on the School Board yesterday. The vote was 326 to 291. MacLeod had been serving on the board for a few months after taking over a spot on the board by appointment. Newcomers Robert Carpenter and Adam Mini will sit on the board serving three years each. The two prevailed in a three-way race that saw Carpenter get 386 votes, Mini get 330 and Sally Sykie get 281 votes. Incumbents Ella Jo Regan and Frank Weeks chose not to seek reelection. Voters also supported a $15,783 expenditure to the Gilmanton School Leach Field Fund but did not support adding $20,000 to the Special Educa-
tion Expendible Trust Fund. Also earning voters support was the roof replacement fund appropriation of $21,319, the fuel storage tank fund for $3,500 and $1,902 for the water tank replacement fund and $8,473 for the boiler replacement fund. Voters said no to putting $11,490 into the paving capital fund and yes to putting $2,736 into the tractor replacement fund. There was no money put into the high school tuition expendable fund. The recommended School Budget of $9,689,792 passed by a vote of 403 to 338 as opposed to the default budget which was $9,536,472. It was the School District’s first annual using the official ballot (SB-2) method.
LACONIA — An officer on patrol near Avery Street recognized a local man who was wanted on an outstanding warrant for hitting a man in the eye at the Funky Monkey and arrested him last Friday. Lt. Al Lessard said yesterday that Patrol Officer Adam D.W. Marsh saw John J. Drouin, 26, of 177 Gilford Ave, #2 walking along Avery Street while he was responding to another call. Drouin was wanted for hitting a woman with a pool cue on February 13, and punching the man who came to her rescue. According to police affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, investigating offi-
cers said when they arrived the male victim told them Drouin punched him with a closed fist. They said he had one eye swollen shut and an abrasion under the other eye. The victim didn’t know Drouin by name but knew the name of his brother. Police detectives knew who Drouin was and the victim was able to identify him from a photo lineup. Drouin was also wanted on a parole violation for punching a window and breaking it while he was incarcerated in the Belknap County House of Corrections in December of 2012. Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $1,000 cash-only bail.

Who speaks for the GOP now? Last Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul rose on the Senate floor to declare a filibuster and pledge he would not sit down until either he could speak no longer or got an answer to his question about Barack Obama’s war powers. Does the president, Paul demanded to know, in the absence of an imminent threat, have the right to order U.S. citizens killed by drone strike on U.S. soil? By the time he sat down, 13 hours later, Paul had advanced to the front rank of candidates for 2016, and established himself as a foreign policy leader whose views must be consulted equally with those of John McCain. How did he pull this off? First, Attorney General Eric Holder arrogantly refused to rule out the possibility that President Obama could order execution by drone-strike of U.S. citizens, even here in the United States. When Rand demanded to know what Holder was talking about, all across America people tuned in. Here was a deadly serious issue: Had we, in our determination to prosecute the war on terror ferociously, begun to sacrifice our constitutionalist rights? Libertarians, conservatives and liberals have all grown alarmed at the steady expansion of drone attacks from the Af-Pak to Yemen and Somalia and Lord knows where else, and from bin Laden jihadists in Afghanistan to Islamist propagandists like Anwar al Awlaki and his 16-year-old son, both U.S. citizens, in Yemen. Whom do we have a right to kill? Americans are asking. What are the borders of the battlefield upon which we may designate an individual an enemy and kill him without warning? Has America become part of that battlefield? Paul asked. After hours of speaking, Paul had attracted a vast audience on C-SPAN and Twitter. Soon, colleagues who do not share all of his libertarian views — Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Marco Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas — came down to the floor to speak for Rand and give him time to rest on his feet. To see these new Republicans standing by Rand Paul presented the image of a band of brothers standing up for principle. Rarely has this Republican Party looked better than it did on Wednesday. Then to the well of the Senate marched Rand’s Kentucky colleague, the minority leader, Mitch McConnell, to bestow his benediction. It was “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” Schmaltzy, perhaps, but in a cynical age, inspiriting. What made Rand’s presentation so appealing was that he began it alone, inviting the mockery of the media. Second, it was done with simplicity and dignity, without his-
trionics or demagoguery. Third, it was evident that a genuine principle of Rand’s philosophy was at stake. Finally, like his father Ron and Jimmy Stewart, Rand has a bumpkin quality that fairly drips honesty and sincerity. Agree or disagree, it is hard not to like the guy. But the play would have been incomplete without the foils. Thursday morning, John McCain, fresh from putting on the feed bag with Barack at the Jefferson Hotel, where he exited flashing his thumbs-up on how wonderfully the dinner had gone, came to the floor to declare himself disgusted with Sen. Paul and to pronounce his filibuster “ridiculous.” McCain was followed by Lindsey Graham, who lectured the senators who stood by Paul that he did not recall them being exercised about drone strikes when George W. Bush was president. McCain and Graham both seemed deliberately to miss the point.Paul was not attacking the use of drones against enemies on a battlefield. He wanted to know if Obama now regarded America as a battlefield, and if he regarded U.S. citizens as possible enemy combatants who may be targeted and killed without due process of law. Paul’s victory was conceded when a letter arrived from Holder conceding that he and the president now agreed with Sen. Paul. What Paul achieved in a half day of speaking from the Senate floor is astonishing. There is a new tent pole in the GOP that stands as tall as any of the rest. McCain and Graham, who are routinely trotted out by Big Media to speak for the party — can they any longer claim to do so? Last week, they seemed isolated. And, on the weekend, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy declared Paul’s performance “fantastic,” and backhanded the Republicans who attacked him. Paul himself handled McCain’s insults well. “I treat Sen. McCain with respect,” he told Mike Huckabee. “I don’t think I always get the same in return.” Henceforth, be the issue sending weapons to Syrian insurgents, or launching a war on Iran, the media will have to consult Sen. Paul, who can credibly claim to speak for a large segment of the GOP. The hegemony of the neocons and the lockstep conformity of a vast a slice of the GOP that cost Reagan’s party its primacy during the Bush wars, seems to be coming to an end. (Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)
LETTERS Thanks Tyler St. Market, for helping me recreate childhood memory To the editor, In these very stressful economic and political times I have recently found the need to try and find a brief ray of sunshine to recharge my batteries. Believe it or not I stumbled over this much needed oasis at the Tyler Street Market in Laconia. Several months ago our family had lost the matriarch of our clutch at the grand age of 97. Spending most of my childhood summers in the North Country on the grandparent’s farm had taught me many life lessons and skills that would bolster me later on in life. As part of this dear sweet woman’s legacy, she had left behind a book of all her recipes and food preservation techniques for the next generations to carry on. I can remember coming down for breakfast to the smell of homemade country sausage sizzling in the pan. This has been locked in my childhood memories ever since. Considering this tablet a pearl not to be thrown back into the ocean, I vowed to bring back some of these treasured and near extinct concoctions. But how and where to begin? On a quest for some standard cuts of meat one day, a friend recommended the Tyler Street Market. A great little shop run by the Davis family. While there on a cold January
Saturday picking up some hamburg and a couple of steaks, I happened to mention my dream to the owner Randy. He immediately jumped at the chance to help me in my journey of resurrection. Randy helped build a list of products and schedules of things that would need to be done. An order was placed for the proper cuts of meats required and within a week my kitchen was turned into my very own memory mill. The prep work was done to the letter and as the first sample was lift from the pan and tested by all in attendance, there were nothing but smiles of contentment all around. Under Randy’s tutelage the batch was spot on. The Davis family really cares about the products they produce. The meat is fresh and they will custom cut to order and the prices are quite reasonable. In an economy like this it is very important to shop locally to support local business. So I would strongly suggest a trip to the Tyler Street Market to satisfy all your carnivorous urges. To Randy and his crew, it cannot be said enough: Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. . . for bringing back the good olde days. Daniel Downing Center Tuftonboro

LETTERS Student debt in America now totals an unbelievable $900-B
Well-camouflaged way to help richer families pay for private school
To the editor, Opportunity knocks only once but fantasy never stops knocking for education and unions. Wednesday’s Sun reported tenured faculty at PSU are attempting to UNIONIZE while screaming “it is not about the money”. They assume we all fell off a turnip trucks yesterday. For unions it is about the money, and will always be about the money. Tell me the last time you heard unions talk about doing more work, higher quality work or more efficient work that might justify higher compensation. It is always about applying leverage, strike threats and arm breaking of those who employ them to secure higher wages, benefits and pensions no matter the financial condition of their employer. We have witnessed these bare knuckled tactics of unions repeatedly for the past four years, during the worst recession in decades. It is repulsive and sickening to the average tax payer, many without jobs. From teachers unions in Wisconsin threatening the governors life, to the union garbage haulers in Chicago telling the mayor to stick his offers where the sun don’t shine. The fact the states, cities and towns that employ these unions are near bankrupt is of no concern to the ME ONLY, UNION MIND. To suggest for a moment it is NOT ABOUT THE MONEY is the most absurd, bold faced, hypocritical lie imaginable. The PSU faculty reports their wages have not kept up with sister colleges. The inference is we are going to SCREAM our lungs out demanding wage increases. That coverts to TUITION INCREASES! Not because we are doing more work or higher quality work but on the basis someone else someplace else may be getting paid more. That is why I used the word FANTASY in my first sentence.
To the editor, I have watched the exchange of letters between Mr. Hill and Ms. Merwin regarding the N.H. school “voucher” plan with interest. While Mr. Hill identifies himself as “one of the drafters,” he does not appear to fully understand either the intricacies or the impact of the plan. As it is presently designed, the voucher plan allows businesses to reduce the amount of taxes they pay to N.H. By doing so, this plan ensures that N.H. will have less money to support its public school system. Our public schools are under great pressure to meet the diverse learning needs of our students. Reducing the funds available to support our schools and teachers while our towns and communities are receiving less money from the state to support other community needs is irresponsible and shortsighted. Clearly, the N.H. Legislature, in passing this poorly designed plan, was concerned about the financial impact on local school systems so it set caps on the amount of “voucher” money for the first two years of the plan. No one can predict how future reductions will affect local communities. Supporters of this plan have talked at great length about the need to provide low income families with school choice. There are at least two problems with this argument. First, the amount of scholarship or voucher
Let me share the legacy of uninterrupted, FAILURE unionized education has brought us ALL for the past three decades. Unionized education, concerned exclusively with personal wage and benefit hikes has brought us NON STOP TUITION HIKES at a pace far out pacing inflation. Student debt in America now totals an unbelievable $900 BILLION, breaking the backs of millions of middle American families. More money is owed in student debt than on every car loan in America. More money is owed in student debt that charged on every credit card in America. ONE IN FIVE FAMILIES now owe student loans to government, double the number of just 20 years ago. From 2001 to 2008, government hand outs to universities more than TRIPLED. Money given with little accountability or measure of VALUE. Pell grants have exploded; in 2000, fewer than 3.8 million were awarded, by 2011 it was TEN MILLION. The states and government have shoveled endless billions with the intention to blunt the cost of college. IT HASN’T WORKED and it WON’T WORK. Government now holds 80 percent of all student debt, up from 40 percent not all that long ago. Government now gives student loans literally WITHOUT qualification. The same INSANITY that facilitated the housing crash. Money handed to universities by states or government without REQUIREMENTS and RESPONSIBILITY to reduce tuition fees will never accomplish the goal to make college LESS EXPENSIVE and unions will insure that goal is never reached. It is valid to say unions are opposed to anything that will reduce the cost of your son or daughter attending college and leaving with LESS DEBT. Tony Boutin Gilford
money available is limited to $2,500 per student. Anyone who knows what private schools cost must surely ask how low income families can come up with the additional significant amount of money to pay the remaining school bills when they are again “low income” by definition. The second point is that the current program allows a substantial number of nonlow income families to benefit under the voucher plan. In many senses, this is a well-camouflaged way to benefit families with higher incomes who want to receive “voucher” money to send their children to private schools. While I could discuss many other problems with this plan, the reality is that all taxpayers in N.H. will be forced to pay for the litigation costs inflicted on us by poorly informed legislators and poorly designed legislation. This plan is currently being challenged in the courts and before anyone receives voucher money, our state will have less to spend on public education than we would have if more study and thought was spent before we tax payers were left paying another large legal bill. If you assume that I look forward to the N.H. Senate and our governor supporting the N.H. House’s efforts to do away with this erroneous but costly experiment, you would be correct.

Don’t let future students miss out on educational opportunities To the editor, Dear Senator Andrew Hosmer, My name is Aaron Rago. I have been a resident of Franklin for 14 years. I am a college student at Lakes Region Community College. As an assignment for my American Government class, I am writing about an issue that concerns me — the issue of School Choice. Last year the New Hampshire Legislature passed a bill (SB-372) that allowed low-income families to receive a k-12 scholarship, so they could finance their children’s education at a private school, out-of-district public school, or home school. This bill gives students the freedom to go to the school of their choice and receive the best education that suites their individual needs. It is my understanding that another bill (HB-370) will repeal SB-372 if passed by the Senate and signed by the governor. The House already passed the bill, but I ask that you vote “inexpedient to legislate” on HB-370.
When I was a student at Franklin High School, I wanted to take classes at Laconia High School that weren’t offered at Franklin. After meeting with the principal of Laconia High, I discovered that my family couldn’t afford the high tuition costs for an outof-district student. I was devastated. Right now there are over 400 students that have applied for these scholarships. If HB-370 is passed and SB-372 is repealed, the children of these families will not be able to attend the schools of their choice. Without the education that suits them, they may struggle with school and not be able to achieve their full potential. I don’t want future students to miss out on educational opportunities like I did. It is my hope for them that they will be able to have access to a better education or a school that is the best fit for them. I ask again that you vote against HB-370. Thank you for your time. Aaron Rago Franklin

LETTERS Alton School’s weapons policy is standard boilerplate for N.H.
I’m so glad people are expressing outrage over ugly wind turbines
To the editor, Contrary to an opinion in the March 4 edition of The Laconia Daily Sun (by Steve Miller, Alton), I am not a proponent of weapons on school grounds and feel it necessary to correct what was written about me and to reassure our community. At a recent board meeting, we were asked to approve a Weapons Policy. A member of the board, Steve Miller, requested that we have a “Gun Free School Zone”, which I considered but then questioned if it was truly enforceable and questioned if we had the right to search for a weapon that was legally secured in a vehicle. Other instances of things that could be perceived as weapons were also discussed. I requested to have an officer from the Alton Police Department at our next meeting because I wanted their professional opinion on the proposed amendments to the policy. Chief Heath met with us and advised the board on what he knew was an enforceable, reasonable, and appropriate policy for the Alton School District. He advised us that we (a school district) did not have the right to search non-student adults for a concealed weapon absent reasonable suspicion, as I had felt was most likely true at our earlier meeting. To do so, would be a violation of the Fourth Amendment. A concealed weapon permit is for a handgun or revolver; not a rifle or long gun. It would not be legal to carry a long gun concealed, as what was stated by Miller in his piece. Our board approved the Weapons Policy, with the recommendations of Chief Heath, and it was I who made the motion. The meeting is on DVD at the Alton Library, the meeting minutes are online, and the meeting was also reported correctly in the February 7 edition of this paper by Tim Croes. Contrary to statements made in The Baysider, The Laconia Daily Sun, and at the Alton Town Deliberative Session, this policy does not allow concealed weapons of any type in our school. Our board voted four-to-one for the policy. This same policy is in effect by many school districts in the state of N.H., as it is “boiler plate” — a template policy — that is from the New Hampshire School Boards Association. Policies have to be within the laws, not above them, to be effective. Although we may, at times, not agree
To the editor, Though I do not live around Newfound Lake, I have been there to swim many times over the years. I even hiked up Cardigan Mountain once with my family and almost got blown off the mountain. It is a beautiful area that folks have expressed deep apprehension about scarring with monstrous and ugly wind turbines. To commit such a potentially devastating undertaking should be debated long and hard even if there is a clear economic and environmental benefit. Based on the concerns of many letter writers, one has to wonder if that is the case. I wonder if anyone has checked into the failed wind turbine operations in Australia? Viv Forbes has some interesting facts derived from that expensive and misguided boondoggle down under. (1) Unreliable because gentle breezes create no power and high winds necessitate a shutdown to prevent damage; (2) Winds start and stop suddenly creating network instability plus they create electricity, not when people need it, but when the wind blows; (3) Back-up gas and coal fired systems must always be idling ready to resume full power. A waste of fuel, labor, land and capital; (4) Low energy density = large area of land peppered with wind turbines and networks of roads and transmission lines; (5) So costly that it is highly subsidized with costs passed onto consumers in the form of skyrocketing electric bills;
with the laws, we still cannot change them at the school district level — that would be something accomplished at a state or federal level. We have to set policies within the law. Here is an excerpt from our policy (in italics): WEAPONS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY Weapons are not permitted on school property, in school vehicles or at school-sponsored activities. This policy applies to students, faculty and staff and members of the public alike. Student violations of this policy will result in both school disciplinary action and notification of local law enforcement authorities. Faculty and Staff may face additional disciplinary action including but not limited to suspension and termination. Members of the public who violate this policy will be reported to local law enforcement authorities. The first paragraph of the policy makes the intent of the policy very clear. The only exceptions are as follows: a. In the possession of a law enforcement officer authorized by law to carry a weapon. b. When a legally owned weapon is properly secured and out-of-sight in a vehicle driven on school property by a non-student adult. c. When a principal approves weapons to be brought into school for educational purposes (weapons that are unloaded and properly secured). d. When professionals are using required tools and implements of their trade. e. When provided by the school as part of a course of study. f. In the case of non-student adult carrying a legal knife (such as a Leatherman or Swiss Army pocket knife). g. When groups have authorization to use school facilities, and weapons or other implements described in this policy are used in conjunction with the activity. I wish to thank our Police Chief for his professional advice and guidance in this process, as his number one concern is the safety of our citizens in Alton. I care very deeply about the safety of all of the students at Alton Central School, as my own children are also students at the school. Krista Argiropoli Alton
N.H. Liquor Commission keeps up with modern marketing To the editor, In 1933, the N.H. General Court (House and Senate) established by law the N.H. Liquor Commission to regulate the manufacture, possession, sale, consumption, importation, use storage, and transportation and delivery of wine, spirits and malt or brewed beverages in New Hampshire (RSA 176:1). The Commission is comprised of three members who are appointed by the governor with consent of the Executive Council to six-year terms. Their task and responsibility is to produce a significant boost to the revenue side of the N.H. state budget each year. It is my observation over my 35
has been effectively run, dispersing wines and spirits through 74 stores in New Hampshire with some 10 million customers visiting these stores — with $559,114,050 sales annually with a net profit of $139.6 million to the State Treasury. The Commission is to be commended for keeping up with modern ways of doing business in today’s markets. The 2012 Annual Report of the N.H. State Liquor Commission was accepted and placed on file by the governor and Council. If anyone would like a copy of this document please contact my office anytime. Ray Burton N.H. Executive Council - District 1
(6) Even if reducing CO2 levels is an attainable or sensible goal, gas is a far cheaper way to achieve it; (7) Wind turbines are noisy and dangerous = they kill birds and bats and cause brush fires; (8) They leave behind a huge decommissioning cost at the end of their short life. Viv assures us that it wastes community resources and did not benefit the climate or the environment in Australia. Just wondering how thoroughly the pros and cons have been measured before deciding to destroy the scenic beauty of this area? Heck, has anyone bothered to check in with T. Boone Pickens to get his take on how well spent were the millions he poured into wind farms? As we contemplate placing more of these “giants” throughout this picturesque portion of the state, let’s hope we’re not chasing some Utopian fantasy in the manner of Don Quixote. Yes I know, he chased windmills that he thought were giants while we chase the wind with giant turbines, convinced we can harness the fickleness of mother nature. Sancho Panza finally anointed Don Quixote as “The Knight of the Sad Countenance”. Let’s hope that common sense prevails and we don’t irretrievably damage our countryside chasing some elusive, far away dream. I’m so glad that so many people are expressing their outrage, unwilling to countenance another sad chapter in the environmental movement gone bad in our own little corner of the world.

It’s time we started a safe path through Moultonborough village To the editor, Every day, students from Moultonborough Central School and Moultonborough Academy leave school and walk up Rte. 25 through Moultonborough’s village area. They are walking home, heading to the library or after school program at the rec center. More often than not, they walk two or three abreast, on the wrong side of the road, and are forced to cross busy Rte. 25 wherever they’re able. As the weather warms, cyclists begin to appear on the narrow shoulders through the village, competing for space with traffic that includes logging trucks and 18-wheelers. If you live in town and haven’t barely avoided a collision with someone who refuses to wait patiently behind a cyclist and instead crosses the yellow line into your lane, it’s a good bet that you don’t drive here in the summertime. It’s time we started to take real steps toward creating a safe path through the village for pedestrians and cyclists. Moultonborough’s Master Plan Survey (2006) and Master Plan (2008), Safe Routes to School Report (2009) and Vil-
lage Charrette report (2012) all reflect committee recommendations and community support for a safe pedestrian route through town. Seven years after the latest master plan survey, however, there has been absolutely no movement toward discussing or planning such a route. On Saturday, March 16th, voters will have a chance to finally start the conversation about a plan for sidewalks in the village area. I urge voters to consider approving Warrant Article 27, which provides for the surveying, planning and engineering of a sidewalk through the village, to be presented to the town for approval at the 2014 town meeting. A yes vote on Article 27 is a vote to begin a discussion about a subject that has repeatedly been put off, despite strong support and recommendation as demonstrated in the town’s own reports and surveys. Please consider beginning the process of improving the safety and infrastructure of the village area by voting yes on Article 27. Kim Prause Moultonborough

LETTERS Jim Finnegan worked hard & set the tone for N.H. body politic To the editor, With news of the passing of retired Manchester Union Leader editorial writer Jim Finnegan last weekend, brings to mind a letter I wrote some 18 or so years ago to Mrs. Nackey Scripps Loeb, then president and publisher of a great newspaper. Some of what I wrote to Mrs. Loeb applies just as much today, as it did then. I wrote, in part: Jim Finnegan joined the paper in his late 20s, and for almost 40 years carried the torch — with others — of conservative opinion in the Granite State’s largest newspaper. As a former newspaperman, myself, I was always amazed at Finnegan’s output: three or four editorials each weekday. In the old days, this kind of volume was common. Damon Runyon, Ring Lardner, Ernie Pyle, Hal Boyle would write daily news columns, laced heavily with humor and opinion. That’s what made them stars. Jim Finnegan was a star, cut from the same mold as these great scribes from the golden days of newspapers.
Writing opinion is hard work. It’s more that a relaying the news of the day or quotes from other people. This kind of writing has to come from your own gut. To pull it out of yourself means there has to be something there to begin with. Finnegan had it. Jim Finnegan worked hard, was consistent, and set the tone of the body politic in New Hampshire. That tone was a traditionalist, up-front, conservative, take-no-prisoners brand of newspapering. Like his late mentor, William Loeb, Finnegan made you think. He made thinking about certain matters unavoidable. His writing for decades launched many a hot jaw session at luncheonettes, bars, and breakfast tables across the state of New Hampshire. Presidential hopefuls, governors, bureaucrats, backbench politicians alike turned to him every morning. Now that’s a newspaperman, and one who has been long missed. Dean Dexter Concord/Meredith
Only viable solution is for each of us to strive for zero refuse To the editor, The various gimmicks the City of Laconia proposes to deal with our trash crisis are dandy ways to increase taxes but fail to address what goes to the curb. The only viable and lasting solution is for each of us to strive for zero refuse. I don’t pretend to have all of the answers but here are a few that came to mind: — Use the Post Office. Save all you junk mail. Once a month, take it back to the post office. The last time I checked they had recycling wastebaskets in the lobby. Keep in mind that for one low flat rate you can send up to fifty pounds of most anything to any address in the U.S. What you put in the box, where you send it and the return address you use is only limited by your creativity. — Support local wildlife. You might be surprised at the variety of table scraps that will disappear if placed outside your backdoor or that of a neighbor. — Stop reading newspapers. All the news you can possibly use and
then some is available for free on the Internet. Besides, from day to day the names may change but the news remains the same. — Look in the bathroom. This is especially true if you have city sewer. You might be surprised at what will flush. — Spread your trash. Even in small amounts, when multiplied by 365 chances, an enormous amount of waste can be distributed. Take what looks like a hearty lunch to work. Visit parks and other public places. Leave tidy bundles in pickup trucks at the mall. Let ingenuity prompt opportunity. — Compaction is the key. Using the car to run over cans and plastic containers will easily reduce their volume by two-thirds. The kids will love to help. If soaked long enough, any type of paper can be reduced to a sodden mass. This material can then be formed into rustic lawn ornaments Any serious thoughts about disposable diapers are welcome.

GILMANTON — The Daily Sun learned late Tuesday night that Donald Guarino defeated Betty Ann Abbott for an open seat on the Board of Selectmen. Guarino garnered 411 votes to Abbott’s 344. Both are former selectmen who chose to run again when outgoing Selectman’s Chair Rachel Hatch retired.
Guarino said last night that he was pleased that so many people came out to vote in town’s first of SB-2 election. He said it’s been a long time since 750 people showed up to vote at a town election. At press time the votes on the many warrant articles in Gilmanton, including one on mandatory recycling were not available.
TILTON-NORTHFIELD — Controversial incumbent Pat Clark held his seat on the Tilton-Northfield Fire Commission, leading a field of three, all from Tilton, with 468 votes. Jane Alden came second with 231 votes and Eric Pyra third with 82 votes. Clark outpolled Alden in Tilton by 23 votes, 167 to 144, but carried Northfield, with its larger electorate, by a margin of more than three-toone, 301 to 87. The campaign was overshadowed
by strong feelings about Clark’s role in enforcing a requirement that newly appointed Chief Brad Ober reside within the district. After 18 months the issue was resolved at the eleventh hour when, facing possible dismissal, Ober moved to Tilton. An warrant article to repeal the residency requirement is on the ballot of the fire district meeting to be held on Monday, March 18 in the cafeteria of Winnisquam Regional High School, beginning at 7 p.m.

Lyman wins seat on Gilford Board of Fire Engineers, Demko is upset winner over Mello-Andrews in school board election By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — John “Jack” Lyman will be the new member of the Bord of Fire Engineers, defeating Budget Committee member Philip “Pat” LaBonte yesterday by a vote of 427 to 332. Although relations between the two men were never hostile, LaBonte created some controversy with the current board for his criticism of how the Fire Department maintained its vehicles and over whether or not the town should repair Engine 4. While ultimately LaBonte and Budget Committee members Kevin Leandro and David Horvath — who was reelected to the BudCom last night — prevailed in getting the town to repair the 25-year-old pumper tanker, it appears a majority of those voting rejected his further participation in the affairs of the Fire Department. Lyman is also a “truck guy.” He said he doesn’t know a lot about firefighting but he knows about management and heavy equipment. He said he was encouraged to run by board Chair Bill Akerley. Current Fire Engineer Phil Brouillard chose not to seek election after being a fire engineer for 18 years. Brouillard said he felt it was time for some new blood to join the Board of Engineers. In a related article, voters narrowly rejected (387 to 370) changing the formula by which the Fire Department equipment fund and the town split the revenues from the revolving ambulance revenue account. The formula, which is to give the town 60
percent and the fire department 40 percent will stay the same. The warrant article wanted the town to get 40 percent and the Fire Department to get 60 percent. In other Gilford election news, voters overwhelmingly said “no” to Warrant Article 26 that would have split the position of Town Clerk-Tax Collector into two positions, giving the Board of Selectmen more control over the office. Selectmen initially suggested the change but after hearing a considerable amount of vocal opposition at the Gilford Deliberative Session decided not to recommend passage. Voters also supported giving money to the outside agencies including Genesis Behavioral Health, Children and Family Services, the Community Action Program, New Beginnings and the Visiting Nurses Association despite the fact that none of the appropriations were supported by the selectmen or the Budget Committee. On the school side, challenger Allan Demko defeated incumbent School Board member Rae Mello-Andrews. With three people running for two spots, incumbent Karen Thurston got 541 votes, Demko garnered 423 and Mello-Andrews got 359. Demko was one of the people who tossed his name in the hat a few years ago when Derek Tomlinson resigned. Though not chosen at the time, he was elected in his own right last night. Demko is a former business administrator for the Winnisquam Regional School District.

the five member board left open by the retirement of Miller Lovett. Voters also easily approved three changes to the town’s zoning ordinance that were on the ballot. Town Meeting is tonight at 7 p.m. at Inter-Lakes High School.
Police visit Laconia apartment looking for one suspect & end up arresting another LACONIA — A Jameson Street man who is on parole was arrested by United States Marshals Drug Task Force and the Laconia Police when they went to his house looking for a woman who they believed to be there. According to affidavits filed in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division Michael L. Chamberlain, 27, of 19 Jameson St. Apt. C was inside his apartment when police, accompanied by his parole officer, knocked on his door. When Chamberlain answered that he needed to get some clothes and they heard movement in the apartment, police made entry and found him running out the back door. He was detained by his parole officer. Police said Chamberlain had two hypodermic needles, a small bag with three white rocks, a small bag of green vegetative matter, and a bag of orange
pills identified as a controlled stimulant. After applying and getting search warrant, police found three different sets of as yet unidentified pills, some drug paraphernalia, a bag of white powder, a pair of brass knuckles, and a police baton. The original target of the search was not found at the home. Det. Chris Noyes said police were asking for and received $10,000 cash only bail believing Chamberlain was a danger to the community and there was a high likelihood that he would continue to use and sell drugs. It is not known why Chamberlain was on parole but he was arrested by Laconia Police in 2009 for a robbery at the South Main Street Dunkin’ Donuts. — Gail Ober

POPE from page 2 end of the world, cardinals locked themselves into the Sistine Chapel following a final appeal for unity by their dean and set about the business of electing the 266th pope. The 115 scarlet-robed prelates chanted the Litany of Saints, the sounds of the Gregorian chant echoing through the soaring hall as, walking two-by-two, they implored the saints to guide their voting. They then took an oath of secrecy, first collectively and then individually, as each placed his right hand on the gospel and intoned the words in Latin accented by their native languages — English, German, French, Italian, Arabic and so on. Then the master of liturgical ceremonies intoned the words “Extra omnes” — “everyone out” — and dozens of
prelates and Vatican officials departed as the chapel’s heavy, ornately carved wooden doors swung shut. The cardinals then proceeded with the carefully choreographed vote, each writing his choice on a piece of paper, then folding it and tipping it into an urn, to be counted by hand by three “scrutineers” who read out the results, one by one. With no cardinal winning the required 77 votes on the first ballot, the cardinals returned to the Vatican hotel for a simple dinner of pasta with tomato sauce, soup and vegetables before another day of voting Wednesday. Benedict’s surprise resignation has thrown the church into turmoil and exposed deep divisions between Vatican-based cardinals and those in the field who have complained about Rome’s inefficiencies and indifference to their needs. The leading contenders for pope have fallen into two camps, with Italian Cardinal Angelo Scola, the archbishop of Milan, seen as favored by those hoping to shake up the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, and Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer favored by Vatican-based insiders who have defended the status quo. Other names include Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, who heads the Vatican’s powerful office for bishops and U.S. cardinals Timothy Dolan, the exuberant archbishop of New York, and Sean O’Malley, the archbishop of Boston. In a final appeal before the conclave began, the dean of the College see next page
from preceding page Lt. Kris Kelley said this is the second incident involving underage drinking at this address. He said police also broke up a New Years Eve party there. Also over the weekend, 64-year-old Francis Roche was charged with indecent exposure for being seen urinating near his car in the parking lot of the China Bistro at 1:20 a.m. Roche was also charged with arresting arrest for continuing to struggle with police as he was being booked. He was held overnight at the Belknap County Jail after refusing to participate in the booking process.
Plymouth voters say ‘yes’ to Market Basket by saying ‘no’ to zoning changes By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
PLYMOUTH — Three zoning amendments aimed at placing tighter restrictions on development on the side of Tenney Mountain Highway facing the Baker River were soundly defeated Tuesday. Supporters who petitioned to have amendments on the town ballot were disappointed in the outcome, while opponents saw the result as boost for economic development. Of the three proposed amendments, the most crucial would have prohibited the placing or removing of earth from land up to 500 feet from the Baker River. It failed by a vote of 316 in favor to 498 against, according to Valerie Scarborough, chairman of the Board of Selectmen. Mary Crowley, who campaigned for the amendments characterized the outcome as “fairly definitive.” While the amendments, if passed, would have virtually barred development on 465 acres along the river between the Rumney town line and the Pemigewasset River, both Scarborough and Crowley said that vote reflected concerns that changing the ordinance might jeopardize plans for the 76 acre Riverside Landing project which is being eyed as the site for a Market Basket supermarket. Work is already under way at Riv-
erside Landing for the construction of branch of Bank of New Hampshire and McDonalds, and project developer Mike McGinley announced last week that Market Basket’s top management had decided on the Riverside Landing location. “The result was right for the town,” said Scarborough, who said Market Basket would mean 300 new jobs in the town as well as an increase in the town’s tax base. “That will help in a town that doesn’t have a lake,” she said, alluding to other communities in the Lakes Region which derive considerable tax revenue from lakefront property. “I guess the voters wanted a Market Basket,” Crowley said of the amendments’ defeat. The other two amendments — one of which would have subordinated the zoning ordinance to the town’s Master Plan and the other to remove any restrictions involving the Environmentally Sensitive Zone to land on the side of Tenney Mountain Highway away from the Baker River — lost by virtually the same margin: 320-494 and 314-502 votes respectively. Scarborough said that outcome reflected the voters’ confidence in the Planning Board’s recommendation that all three proposed amendment be defeated.

Thomas Rosica. For more than a week, the cardinals have met privately to try to figure out who among them has the stuff to be pope and what his priorities should be. But they ended the debate with questions still unanswered, and many cardinals predicting a drawn-out election that will further expose the church’s divisions. The conclave proceeds in silence, with no formal debate, behind closed doors. During discussions before the conclave, Vatican-based cardinals defended their administration against complaints that they have been unresponsive to diocesan needs, according to leaks of the proceedings in the Italian media. At one point on Monday, the Brazilian head of one Vatican office reportedly drew applause for challenging the Vatican No. 2, who has been blamed for most of the bureaucracy’s administrative failings.
of Cardinals, retired Cardinal Angelo Sodano, used his homily at a morning Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica to urge unity. He asked that cardinals put their differences aside for the good of the church and the future pope. “Each of us is therefore called to cooperate with the successor of Peter, the visible foundation of such an ecclesial unity,” Sodano said. He was interrupted by applause from the public in the pews — not so much from the cardinals — when he referred to the “beloved and venerated” Benedict XVI and his “brilliant” pontificate. Sitting in the front row was Benedict’s long-time aide, Archbishop Georg Gaenswein, who reported that the now-emeritus pope was watching the proceedings from his residence in Castel Gandolfo, 17 miles away, according to Vatican spokesman Rev.

CONVENTION from page one neys, Paul Fitzgerald of Westcott, Millham and Dyer, retained by the commissioners, and Laura SpectorMorgan of the Mitchell Municipal Group, hired by the convention over the objections of the commissioners, have filed with the court to represent the convention. The suit was filed on February 8 and afterwards, according to an e-mail to members of the convention, including Worsman, from Rep. David Huot (D-Laconia) Worsman approached County Attorney Melissa Gulbrandsen. In the December secret ballot vote, Worsman defeated fellow Republican Rep. Frank Tilton (Laconia) by a vote of 9-7 but it was not made public how individual representative’s voted. Tilton has since been a staunch supporter of Worsman’s leadership. Tardif and Gammon argue that there is no basis in New Hampshire law for conducting any secret ballot vote during a meeting of a public board and that, in fact, RSA 91-A, specially prohibits such a practice. Convention members claimed they were following the advice of the clerk of the N.H. House, who cited a decades old Supreme Court advisory opinion that allowed the House to elect its own speaker by secret ballot. On February 19, the convention voted 11 to 2 with 4 abstentions and one member absent to “reaffirm” the election of officers on December 10, 2012. According to Huot’s e-mail, sent following a long telephone conversation with Worsman, Gulbrandsen had a hand in directing the reaffirmation of the vote. “Not disclosed at the recent meetings at which motions were made to reaffirm the votes at the organizational meeting, was the fact that the motions were, in fact, drafted by the county attorney,” Huot wrote, “who thereby undertook representation of the convention, even though you did not have authority to engage her. Private advice given by the county attorney,” he continued, “for example in her e-mail, restricted to you, advising you on how to proceed, gives me pause, ethically, in view of the statutes.” The commissioners insist that the law stipulates that the county attorney operates under the direction of the attorney general and, in litigation to which the county is party, the county commission. “If no other representation is provided,” reads RSA 7:34, “under the direction of the county commissioners he or she shall prosecute or defend any suit in which the county is interested.” Meanwhile, on February 15, Worsman asked the commission, which is authorized to retain legal counsel, to permit the convention to hire outside counsel. The commissioners refused the request but said they had retained Fitzgerald to defend the convention.
Worsman said that a majority of the convention believed Fitzgerald had “a tremendous conflict of interest” in representing them. She said that Huot’s son Matt, worked at Fitzgerald’s law firm and the commission had “asked Fitzgerald for information about the direction the convention was taking. I’m not confident,” she continued, “that the convention’s best interests are aligned with those of the commission and his allegiance is with the commission, not the convention.” Enter Rep. Richard Burchell (R-Gilmanton) who applied a law bearing on the indemnification of county officials sued while acting within the scope of their official duties. It provides that “if no other representation is provided,” which can only be arranged with the approval of the commission, the county attorney, or with the consent of the commission, outside counsel shall provide their defense. The law further provides that officials denied representation by the commissioners may appeal to the convention. The convention proceeded to appeal the commission’s decision to itself and when it met on March 4 and resolved 11 to 6, with one member absent, to hire independent legal counsel and authorized Worsman to approach the Mitchell Municipal Group. Worsman indicated that the county attorney was the first choice of the majority. “We chose the high road by pursuing the least expensive option,” she said. “We were trying to act in the best interests of the taxpayers by not incurring unnecessary expenses.” Gulbrandsen, who was present when the convention voted to hire an attorney, told the members that she found herself “in an awkward position between the two bodies,” because she thought the statutes defining her duties are in conflict. She concluded it would not be appropriate for her to represent the convention. Although the convention has retained SpectorMorgan, without the means or authority to spend money it appears unable to foot the bill. Earlier this week Commissioner Ed Philpot said that the commission, which must authorize all county expenditures, would not pay the invoice because “we did not hire the attorney.” Worsman said that “the convention is a separate branch of county government and is entitled to a legal defense at the expense of the county.” She recalled the commissioners refusal to pay the legal fees incurred by the Register of Deeds when, following her refusal to implement measures recommended by the independent auditors and directed by the commissioners, the commission took her to court. “Something is wrong with the process when they can pick and choose who to pay,” said Worsman, likening the two situations.

Lawmakers brief City Council on progress in Concord By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The five members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives who represent the city, accompanied by Senators Andrew Hosmer (D-Laconia) and Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), told the City Council this week that although they do not expect the Legislature to transfer significant costs to municipalities this session, the outcome of the biennial budget process is far from clear. A change in the distribution of state aid to education, which was legislated in 2011 but will be implemented in fiscal year 2014 beginning July 1, 2013, will have the greatest impact on the city. Rep. Beth Arsenault, a Democrat representing Laconia and Belmont who serves on the House Education Committee, explained that the formula for allocating funds, which includes a premium for students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, was changed. Originally the amount of the premium increased with the proportion of the enrollment who qualified for meals program and was multiplied by the number of students enrolled to calculate the grant. Beginning in July, the premium, approximately $1,750, will be multiplied only by the number of students qualified for free and reduced-price lunch. As a result state aid for the Laconia School District will shrink by $483, 281, from $6,436,432 to $5,953,151. Rep. David Huot, a Democrat with a seat on the House Finance Finance Committee, explained that the budget process is overshadowed by questions about revenue projections and expanding Medicaid. Governor Maggie Hassan included $80-million in revenue from the introduction of a casino in her budget, but Huot said that because “gambling is not a foregone conclusion,” the House Ways and Means Committee has not included the revenue in its projections. In the past gambling bills have won majorities in the Senate, but never in the House. Hosmer noted that “it is early to speak of specifics,” but ventured that “gambling is on a collision course with the gas tax,” referring to the 15- cent hike in the levy that carried the House last week. He expected the Senate to authorize casino gambling, adding that the legislation provides that the pro-
ceeds will be shared between education and roads and bridges as well as funding for economic development in the North Country. “The gas tax lags in the Senate and gambling lags in the House,” he said. “Remove the $80-million and the governor’s budget may collapse on itself.” As if to highlight the differences, when Rep. Frank Tilton, who was among a number of Republicans to vote for the increased gas tax, said that 12-percent of the revenue would be earmarked for cities and towns and Laconia would receive $1.1-million over 10 years. Forrester, herself no champion of gambling, countered that city residents would pay an extra $8-million in gas taxes during the same period. In response to a question from Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) Huot said that the Legislature is seeking to restore a measure of Medicaid funding to hospitals, which is a matter of litigation in federal court, but the issue hinges on the decision of whether or not to expand Medicaid. “There are disadvantages to doing nothing, doing something or doing a lot,” he said. Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) asked about economic development initiatives. Hosmer said that the Senate unanimously voted to double and make permanent the research and development tax credit for businesses and that an effort to rewrite the corporate code for the first time in 20 years is underway. Forrester said that she had considered filing legislation to prepare a 10-year economic development plan, but after hearing from the business community that health care, infrastructure and education are its highest priorities, decided to introduce the bill next year. Tilton, who has a hand in the capital budget process as a member of the House Public Works and Highways Committee, said that he hoped to include funding for another academic building at Lakes Region Community College, which would would house the culinary arts program. However, he anticipated that the capital budget would be less than $125-million and that the highest priority is the construction of a new women’s prison estimated to cost $38-million. Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) asked after a bill to reopen an office of the Department of Motor Vehicles in Belknap County. Rep. Bob Luther, who picked up the baton from the original sponsor and fellow Republican Harry Accornero when he lost his seat, said that the House killed the bill. “It was a money issue,” he explained. “They sent to director of the DMV to shoot me down and he was overqualified for the job.”

Laconia Municipal Airport in Gilford, shown here in an aerial photo, is one of the state’s many general aviation airports. Gov. Hassan has proclaimed that March is General Aviation Appreciation Month. (Courtesy photo)
Gov. Hassan proclaims March as General Aviation Appreciation Month GILFORD - Diane Terrill, president of the Granite State Airport Management Association and manager of Laconia Municipal Airport in Gilford, has announced that Gov. Maggie Hassan has proclaimed March as General Aviation Appreciation Month in NH. The governor’s proclamation, signed at the end of February, states that “the State of New Hampshire has a significant interest in the continued vitality of general aviation, aerospace, aircraft manufacturing, educational institutions, aviation organizations, community airports, and airport operators.” The proclamation further states that “many communities in New Hampshire depend heavily on general aviation and community airports for the continued flow of commerce, tourists, and visitors to our state.” Terrill, pleased by the governor’s proclamation, is highly involved in promoting general aviation on both the local and state level in her roles as an airport manager and the newlyelected president of the Granite State Airport Management Association (GSAMA). GSAMA is an organization of aviation professionals committed to increasing awareness of the importance of aviation and supporting economic development for the State of New Hampshire. GSAMA serves New Hampshire’s aviation needs by enhancing access to the National Air-
space System, promoting a support network for all airports in the State, and promoting legislation in support of aviation interests. GSAMA was named in the governor’s proclamation as an organization that continues to “recognize and promote the interests and importance of aviation in New Hampshire and throughout the world.” On the local level, Terrill has been manager of Laconia Municipal Airport since 1999 and oversees its dayto-day operations as well its long-term management. The Lakes Region’s general aviation airport, it is situated between the city of Laconia and the town of Gilford. The airport, built in 1941, serves the needs of pilots flying a wide range of aircraft, from small, single-engine planes to transatlantic jets. With a $50 million annual impact on the region’s economy, it acts as a responsible community partner and environmental steward of the natural resources of the surrounding areas. There are twenty-four publiclyowned airports as well as 118 registered airports in the state. The public is encouraged to visit airports throughout the state during General Aviation Appreciation Month to find out more about general aviation and the important role it plays in NH. More information about Laconia Airport in Gilford can be found at: www.laconiaairport.com.

Advice To The Players takes a stab at Julius Caesar SANDWICH — Kicking off its 15th season of partnering area youth with professionals in classical theater productions, Advice To The Players will bring to life Shakespeare’s immortal Julius Caesar in Sandwich, North Conway and three area high schools. The cast includes veteran ATTP actors, young and old, as well outstanding new talent from the ranks of Shakespeare and Company, Tina Packer’s renowned company in Lenox, Massachusetts. Directed by company founder Caroline Nesbitt, Julius Caesar is one of Shakespeare’s best and is the ultimate political drama. Newcomer Conor Seamus Moroney, who plays Mark Antony, says of this timeless theme: “This guy (Antony) is akin to Bill Clinton in his uncanny ability to sway a crowd through sheer oratory. The ‘Friends, Romans, Countrymen’ speech is a masterpiece of political persuasion, both passionate and sly. By claiming himself ‘no orator, as Brutus is’ and sarcastically calling the traitors ‘honorable men,’ Antony deftly turns the crowd from consenting citizens to a mob out for blood.” The cast boasts Hans Stafford as Caesar, Andrew Codispodi (who gave us a memorable Hamlet) as Brutus, Angela Smith (seen as Portia in last winter’s Merchant of Venice) as Cassius, Barnstormer regular Bob Bates doubling as Casca and Messala, Chris Ferrill as Cicero and Lauren Hansen as Calphurnia. From the youth company, ATTP is happy to welcome new members Molly and Willa Canfield, Madeline Moneypenny and Marianna Pallidino. Returning young actors are Will Johnston, Rowan Heard and Lea Thelemarck. The cast is rounded out by the “graduate” thespians who began as teens and have been the backbone of ATTP’s regular troupe: Emma Bickford, Brianne Robitaille, and Lee Stockman. Lastly, Portia, Brutus’ wife is played by Arielle Kaplan, who studied at Brandeis University before training with Shakespeare and Company and is delighted to be in New Hampshire working with ATTP. Assisting Ms. Nesbitt will be long-time Stage Manager Jesse Earl; costumes are by De Robitaille and Carolyn Boldt with lighting by C. Clara Patterson. The Sandwich performances will take place in the newly renovated Town Hall as part of this year’s 250th Anniversary Celebration of Sandwich. Coming up in April, Advice To The Players and The Corner House Inn are hosting a celebration of The Bard’s Birthday,

PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University’s Center for the Environment (CFE) hosts the 2013 New Hampshire Water and Watershed Conference, Friday, March 22 in PSU’s Hartman Union Building. The event features more than 30 talks addressing current water related research as well as effective strategies at the local, regional, state, and federal levels about changing environmental and societal conditions and their effects on New Hampshire’s water resources and aquatic environment. Specific topics to be covered include watershed planning, restoration, and management; education and outreach; ecosystem services of lakes, rivers, and watersheds; coordinating a response to climate change; and water quality and quantity. The plenary speaker is Linwood Pendleton, director of the Ocean and Coastal Policy Program at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and acting chief economist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). His talk will be on Clean Water and the New Hampshire Economy. Governor Maggie Hassan is also
expected to attend and speak about current water issues in New Hampshire. CFE Director Dr. Joe Boyer stated the conference will provide an extensive amount of information about the region’s water resources. “Water is a common denominator in the environment, society and economy of this region,” Boyer said. “This meeting will help further the research and management of water resources for the benefit of both nature and people.” The sessions and talks at the conference are designed to meet the information and networking needs of a broad audience. In past years, scientists; educators; consultants; students; lake, river, and watershed groups; environmental organizations; volunteer monitors; municipal board and staff members; elected officials; local and regional planners; and policy makers have all found the conference to be full of valuable information addressing current water and watershed topics in New Hampshire. Information about the event, registration, and the agenda are at http:// www.plymouth.edu/center-for-theenvironment/2013-nh-water-watershed-conference/

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do your best, but don’t vow to give your whole self to any person or task today. How could you possibly do that when you don’t even know your whole self just yet? You’re better off experimenting, flirting and learning more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The color blue can soothe your soul. Just imagining it can change your physiology, slowing your pulse and making you breathe deeper. Use this and other tricks to remain calm in the excitement of the day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This is an excellent day to change your diet. You’ll enjoy learning about new foods, tasting different combinations and, afterward, gauging the way those foods made you feel. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your intellectual self doesn’t often think about your natural self, but no matter. Your natural self isn’t reliant on a thought process, but rather on the kind of instinctive moves you’ll make today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Maybe you don’t always use the right words or know the appropriate thing to say in every situation. But you come at people with your heart open, and that’s just what they need now. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 13). You’ll tap into a younger part of you and reclaim the hope you once had. Only this time, you’ll be smarter about how to go about bringing your wishes into reality. Someone close to you will have a change of mood, and everything will suddenly be more fun in April. May brings a professional breakthrough. Virgo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 15, 45 and 22.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though modern science has made it unnecessary for you to spend hours washing clothes or preparing food, you may still feel like the responsibilities of domestic life are consuming a great deal of your energy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A bit of comic drama is played out delightfully before you. Were you supposed to see this? Maybe not, but you’ll be glad your keen sense of timing put you in this position. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re connected to people. You feel their absence when they are not around, and you wonder what they might be doing and thinking in their bubble of experience so far away from you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who don’t know you will watch to see what role you take on. You’ll show them that you are not frail and dependent on the might and salvation of another. Rather, you are the hero of this story. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be lit up with the excitement of some secret that you are sharing with a kindred spirit. It’s a wonderful, giddy feeling to be in cahoots.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, March 13, the 72nd day of 2013. There are 293 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 13, 1933, banks in the U.S. began to reopen after a “holiday” declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On this date: In 1639, New College was renamed Harvard College for clergyman John Harvard. In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting Union military officers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners. In 1901, the 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, died in Indianapolis at age 67. In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.) In 1938, famed attorney Clarence S. Darrow died in Chicago. In 1943, author-poet Stephen Vincent Benet, 44, died in New York. Financier and philanthropist J.P. Morgan, Jr., 75, died in Boca Grande, Fla. In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module. In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury in Winamac, Ind., found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto. In 1988, yielding to student protests, the board of trustees of Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., a liberal arts college for the hearingimpaired, chose I. King Jordan to become the school’s first deaf president. In 1996, a gunman burst into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and opened fire, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself. One year ago: A resurgent Rick Santorum swept to victory in Republican presidential primaries in Alabama and Mississippi. Twenty-two students returning from a ski holiday and six adults died when their bus crashed inside a tunnel in southern Switzerland. A ferry carrying more than 200 people collided with a cargo boat and sank just short of Dhaka, Bangladesh; most on board died. Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc. said it would stop publishing print editions of its flagship encyclopedia.

Holy Trinity students spend Valentine’s Day Pitman’s Freight Room spreading cheer throughout the community hosting special Comedy Night on March 16
LACONIA — February 14 was a special day at Holy Trinity School for two reasons. First, it was Valentine’s Day which includes special treats, classroom parties and exciting mail. Secondly and more important, the school has deemed February 14 as a day of service. Faculty and staff believe all our students should look beyond their own world and bring cheer and joy to others. Some of the classes made cards and letters to accompany Meals on Wheels dinners, while other students made Valentine day cards for local seniors. Fourth and fifth grade students spread cheer to cancer patients who are battling a tough disease. The cards were hand delivered to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at CMC in Manchester. HTS students are well aware of the struggles these patients and families face as their beloved classroom teacher; Ms. Kristina Conti is a patient at the center. When asked why it is important to make these valentines’, Joseph Skehan replied, “Cancer patients have tough times because of all their medicines they have to take. I wanted to give someone a jolt of excitement.” Maria McGrath thought, “I think it

Saving Buffalo and Cardinal: NH’s Environmentalist, Ernest Baynes
Scholar James B. Atkinson introduces Ernest Harold Baynes (1868-1925), a man who fought to prevent the mindless slaughter of buffalo, even raising herds of them in New Hampshire. Images from his fragile glass slides show a team of buffalo pulling him to the Claremont Agricultural Fair. Rare colored images from these slides also show the varied wild animals he domesticated locally. Brightly plumaged birds, like the cardinal, suffered at the hands of the fashion industry. He struggled to combat its efforts because, as an early environmentalist, he sought not to subdue nature but to preserve it. This program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council and the Laconia Public Library and will be held in Laconia Public Library’s Rotary Hall. Admission is free.

LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room is bringing in national headliner Kenny Rogerson, for a special show, Saturday, March 16 at 8 p.m. Also appearing will be Las Vegas regular Steve Scarfo and Boston area favorite Dave Decker. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased in advance through Pitman’s or $15 cash the night of the show. Pitman’s is a BYOB venue. Pitman’s first comedy night in November drew 118 and the second show during Christmas week still had 88. The February comedy show drew more than 200 people and the show starring Rogerson is expected to result in another large turnout. “The shows have really been high level,” said Dick Mitchell, owner of Pitman’s, which is also know for its music nights as well as being a function venue. “The numbers have continued to grow for the comedy nights. People know they are going to see a great show.” “All the shows have been really good and to be honest even better than we had expected,” added Mitchell who plans to continue to bring in the biggest names in New England comedy. Rogerson is one of the top comedians in the region and among the best comics nation wide. Frequently referred to in the press as “the funniest man you’ve never heard of,” Rogerson combines a brilliant wit and an understated sarcasm that has led him to the nation’s top clubs as well as appearances on the late night talk shows including Letterman, and Conan O’Brien as well as appearances on Comedy Central, Showtime’s “A Pair of Jokers,” Evening at the Improv, and MTV. Scarfo is a 15 year veteran of the comedy scene and is a regular at the Comedy Connection, Nick’s, and major clubs across the country. Scarfo is so well respected that as well as headlining from Maine to Los Angeles he has shared the stage with many of the top comedians in the business including Jeff Dunham, Bob Marley, Lenny Clarke, Victoria Jackson, and many more. Scarfo is a high energy comedian who has an odd perception of the world and humorously relates those ideas connecting with a wide range of audiences. The Maine based comic is also an actor having appeared in numerous films and television shows. Decker is a fast rising star on the Boston comedy scene, as he brings an easy going style to the stage that crowds find likeable as well as funny.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I don’t know how much longer I can handle my daughter and her family living in our home. Five years ago, they came here intending to stay “a few months.” My husband is ill, and he is extremely uncomfortable having no privacy and being limited to our bedroom for days at a time. I try to be kind, but I am still grieving the loss of my son to cancer. My son-in-law doesn’t even pretend to make an effort to find a place anymore. And he does not help us around the house or contribute to the bills. How do I get them out without hurting my daughter and granddaughter? I don’t want to lie to them, but I’m beginning to despise my son-in-law. -- Losing Hope Dear Losing: In order to have your house to yourself, you will need to find the strength to put a time limit on the freeloading. If your son-in-law or daughter is working, they should be paying rent, if not in their own place, then in yours. Tell them you think it would be healthier for all concerned if they found a place of their own, and you will give them three months to move out. Offer to help them search. Offer to help them pack. Offer to take care of your granddaughter. But be firm about the deadline. Let them know that if they don’t find a place within three months, you will start charging them rent -- and make it enough so that moving out is an attractive option. Be nice about it, but don’t back down. Dear Annie: My husband has a frequent customer card for a local restaurant. Over time, he accumulated a credit of $40. We recently went to this restaurant with another couple. When the bill arrived, my husband took out his card and told the other couple they owed half of the bill, including the tip, and that he would apply his $40 credit to the remain-
der. I was uncomfortable with this. I felt he should have saved his credit for a time when we were dining alone. What do you think? -- Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: If the other couple were close friends or family members, they may not have cared about this. However, a less familiar set of friends might have found it a bit gauche for your husband to flaunt that his bill was going to be $40 less than theirs. So, yes, we agree it would have been better to use the credit when you were alone, unless he intended to use it to treat his friends to part of their meal. Dear Annie: “Feeling the Void” says women don’t understand how sex makes a man feel loved and that men feel incomplete without it. Well, knowing I cannot make love to my husband is pretty devastating, too. The aging process has meant that sex is no longer pleasurable. Instead, it is horribly painful. Lubricants do not work. Taking hormones brings back cramps and menstruation. I was willing to try, but hormones also brought back my uterine fibroids, and I’d rather not have a hysterectomy if I don’t have to. And my husband would have his own problems if not for that little blue pill. Why can’t we just grow old? If all we did was dwell on our sex life, we would be constantly upset. My husband and I understand this. We hug and kiss and appreciate each other. There is no void when you love deeply and can accept the changes that growing old together brings. I am so blessed to be with a man who gets that. -- Still Feeling Completely Loved

LRGHealthcare promotes safe sharps disposal Tom Bartlett and Unicorn LACONIA — Do you or someone you know use and collect home sharps for medication delivery or infusion? If so, there are safe ways to dispose of them that cut down on environmental hazards and danger to trash handlers. LRGHealthcare is promoting safe disposal of sharps such as needles, syringes, pen and pump needles, lancets, and infusion sets at their upcoming “Community Sharps Disposal Day”. A collection site will be set up in the lobby at both Franklin Regional Hospital and Lakes Region General Hospital on Monday, March 11, 2–4 p.m. The individual patient consumer is welcome to bring their sharps in an approved sharps collection
device such as a sharps disposal unit or hard plastic laundry detergent or bleach container. LRGHealthcare’s sharp collection program is only for the individual consumer, not businesses. Group homes, residential care facilities and other commercial or business customers should contact a medical waste management company or their trash collector for sharps disposal options. There will be three other opportunities in 2013 for community disposal through LRGHealthcare and those dates include June 10, September 9, and December 9 from 2–4 p.m. For more information, contact the Infection Control and Prevention Department at (603) 527-2825.
