LHS physics student builds pipe organ with wood, garden hose & copper tubing Yongjin Park, a senior at Laconia High School, brought a pipe organ he made in his Honors Physics II class to show to the Laconia School Board on Tuesday night. Here, he explains how it works to board member Joe Cormier. Park made the eight-note instrument with materials found at his home – wood, glue, garden hose and copper pipe. Bonnie Ashworth, one of his teachers, told the board that Park has scored a five – the highest possible score – on several Advanced Placement tests, including the AP Calculus test that he took when he was a sophomore. Park immigrated to Laconia from South Korea when he was a freshman. He has been accepted to Michigan State University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and hopes to become a mathematics professor.

Recount confirms Alton teacher’s contract was defeated on a tie vote ALTON – A recount of the votes cast on March 8 that denied funding for a new collective bargaining agreement between the School Board and the teachers’ union was conducted on Wednesday and the result remain the same. The article was defeated by a tie vote of 404 to 404.

“It is disappointing, “ said board Chair Terri Noyes.

“This has been a long and arduous process over the past year. Alton Central School has the benefit of many wonderful teachers who work hard to provide an opportunity for each child to excel. They have gone a year without a contract. The board felt strongly during these negotiations that the community was clearly interested in eliminating the “evergreen” prosee aLtON page 10

LRGHealthcare ended fiscal year with a $2.3-million operating loss

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — LRGHealthcare closed its 2010 financial year on September 30 in the red, posting an operating loss of $2.3-million and nonoperating losses of $11.4-million.

“Of course, we’re disappointed,” said Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer Henry Lipman, “but, we’ve weathered the storm in a very turbulent environment and surmounted some very severe challenges.”

LRGHealthcare’s performance reflected pressures weighing on the not-for-profit health care sector reported by Moody’s Investor Service last month. The sluggish economic recovery, marked by persistent high unemployment, which in the Laconia

area remains a point above the state average, reduces demand for discretionary care. At the same time, charitable care and uncollectable debt continues to rise as health insurance has been lost or reduced.

Foregone charges for care climbed nearly 10-percent, from $13.9-million in 2009 to $15.2-million, in 2010 while the portion of charity patients rose from 3.37-percent to 3.56-percent. Since 2008, foregone charges for care have jumped from $10.1-million to $15.3-million, an increase of more than 50-percent.

Apart from the weak economy, Moody’s notes that the fiscal plight of both federal and state governments has exerted downward pressures on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursesee hOsPItaL page 11

Japan suspends work on stricken nuclear power plant FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Japan ordered emergency workers to withdraw from its stricken nuclear plant Wednesday amid a surge in radiation, temporarily suspending efforts to cool the overheating reactors.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the workers, who have been dousing the reactors with seawater in a frantic effort to stabilize their temperatures, had no choice but to pull back from the most dangerous areas.

“The workers cannot carry out even minimal work at the plant now,” Edano said, as smoke billowed above the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex.

“Because of the radiation risk we are on standby.”

The nuclear crisis has triggered international alarm and partly overshadowed the human tragedy caused by Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the subsequent tsunami, a blast of black seawater

that pulverized Japan’s northeastern coastline. The quake was one of the strongest recorded in history.

Later Wednesday, officials said they were considering using helicopters to dump water onto the most troubled reactors in a desperate effort to cool them down.

But Edano has already warned that may not work.

“It’s not so simple that everything will be resolved by pouring in water. We are trying to avoid creating other problems,” he said.

“We are actually supplying water from the ground, but supplying water from above involves pumping lots of water and that involves risk. We also have to consider the safety of the helicopters above,” he said.

Radiation levels had gone down by later Wednesday, but it was not immediately clear if the workers had been allowed back in, or how far away they had withdrawn. The workers at the forefront of the fight

— a core team of 70 — had been regularly rotated in and out of the danger zone to minimize their radiation exposure.

Meanwhile, officials in Ibaraki prefecture, just south of Fukushima, said radiation levels were about 300 times normal levels by late morning.

While those levels are unhealthy for prolonged periods, they are far from fatal.

Days after Friday’s twin disasters, millions of people were struggling along the coast with little food, water or heat, and already chilly temperatures dropped further as a cold front moved in. Up to 450,000 people are staying in temporary shelters, often sleeping on the floor of school gymnasiums.

More than 11,000 people are officially listed as dead or missing, but most officials believe the final death toll will be well over 10,000 people. see JAPAN page 9

NEW YORK (AP) — Financial markets were jolted for a third day Wednesday by fears that a partial meltdown may have occurred at a nuclear plant in Japan.

Stocks erased nearly all of their gains for the year.

The losses were broad. Each of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones industrial average fell, with IBM Corp. and General Electric Co. losing the most. All 10 company groups in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, the basis for most U.S. mutual funds, lost ground.

Stocks dropped sharply in midmorning trading after the European Union’s energy chief was quoted as saying that Japan’s nuclear crisis could get worse.

Japan’s economy, the third-largest in the world after the U.S. and China, accounts for about 10 percent of U.S. exports.

Treasury prices jumped, sending yields to their lowest levels this year as investors piled into investments seen as being more stable. One measure of stock market volatility, the CBOE Market Volatility Index, jumped 18 percent in a sign that investors expect more wild swings.

“Investors are moving away from anything that has an element of risk with it because they don’t know what’s happening in Japan,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 242.12, or 2 percent, to 11,613.30. It was the worst drop since Aug. 11. The Dow has now lost 3.6 percent over the past three days, its worst three-day loss since last July.

The S&P index fell 24.99, or 1.9 percent, to

1,256.88. The S&P is now down 0.1 percent for the year, having been up as much as 6.8 percent in February. When dividends are included, however, the index has had a total return of 2.4 percent for the year, according to FactSet. The Nasdaq composite index fell 50.51 or 1.9 percent, to 2,610. It is now down 1.4 percent for the year.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell as low as 3.15 percent, the lowest level this year. In late trading the yield edged up to 3.21 percent.

Japan temporarily suspended work at a stricken nuclear plant after a surge in radiation made it too dangerous for workers to remain there. That came a day after Japan’s prime minister said four cripsee MARKETS page 6

CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Supreme Court on Wednesday said a lower court acted appropriately in ordering an 11-year-old girl to attend public school after her father claimed his ex-wife’s strict Christian teachings were socially isolating the child.

Though religious freedom groups trumpeted the cause of Brenda Voydatch of Meredith as a violation of her constitutional rights, the Supreme Court disagreed, saying the case was a family court dispute between the parents that the court was well within

its jurisdiction to resolve.

“While this case has religious overtones, it is not about religion. While it involves home schooling, it is not about the merits of home versus public schooling,” the court wrote in its unanimous ruling. “This case is only about resolving a dispute between two parents, with equal constitutional parenting rights and joint decision-making responsibility, who have been unable to agree how to best educate (their) daughter.”

Voydatch and Martin Kurowski divorced when their daughter was two months old. The girl, who lives primarily with her mother but regularly visits her father in Portsmouth, was ordered to attend public school full-time starting in the 2009-2010 school year after her parents couldn’t agree on an alternative to home schooling.

According to court documents, Kurowski wanted his daughter exposed to different points of view and see RULING page 10

Frankly Speaking / Rep. Frank Guinta

Roadmap for America’s Energy Future Gasoline prices are becoming, as Yogi Berra famously put it, “Déjà vu all over again.” Less than two years after they spiked to a record high of $4.11 a gallon, they’re heading in that direction once again. Filling the tank of an average midsize car now costs around $60 – and could go even higher soon.

As I’ve been traveling around the district this month, I’ve heard one question from Granite Staters over and over: “When is Washington going to do something about these high gas prices? When are we going to get some help?”

I take the concerns that you share with me very seriously; so when I returned to Washington, I went on the House floor and issued a plea for help. I called on everyone – Democrats and Republicans, the White House and Congress – to work together to find solutions to this newest energy crisis. With oil selling for around $100 a barrel and with economists unable to predict just how high it will go, we must act now to end our dependence on foreign oil.

It’s disappointing that the White House has failed to provide leadership in this area. For more than two years now, the Obama Administration has thrown up one roadblock after another to prevent businesses from going after our country’s massive petroleum resources, and leaving us increasingly at the mercy of foreign oil suppliers.

There’s no reason why we should continue to depend on them. According to the American Petroleum Institute, the U.S. has an estimated 112-billion barrels of oil between the outer continental shelf and on land. That’s enough to power 60 million cars for the next 60 years. We just have to summon the determination to go and get it.

That’s why I proudly added my name as a co-sponsor of H.R. 909, “A Roadmap for America’s Energy Future.” This important bill sets a course for ending our addiction to foreign oil and puts us on the path of delivering viable energy alternatives that will provide us with affordable energy supplies for many years to come.

The “Roadmap for America’s Energy Future” charts a course for going after our country’s various energy sources, most of which are sitting idle right now. Let me give you a few examples of how the Roadmap works.

America’s oil shale deposits (pri-

marily located in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah), hold an estimated two trillion barrels of oil, and are the largest unexploited hydrocarbon resource on Earth. We’ve made gigantic strides over the last 30 years in coal-to-liquid fuel technologies. The more than 250-billion tons of recoverable U.S. coal reserves are the equivalent of an estimated 800-billion barrels of oil (compared to Saudi Arabia’s oil reserves of 260-billion barrels).

Here’s something else that may surprise you: pursuing new energy sources would create thousands of new, good-paying jobs at the very time we need them most. For example, new crews would have to be hired to find and extract oil. Construction workers would be needed to assemble the drilling sites. Additional truck drivers would be needed to ship all that material.

To recap: sustainable energy sources within our country, an end to relying on foreign oil, putting many Americans back to work… that’s truly a win-win for everyone.

For all these reasons, it’s time we finally have an “all the above” national energy strategy. No single option will provide the silver bullet that can bring stability to our energy needs. But we can achieve that goal by working on multiple energy fronts at the same time to provide reliable, affordable, clean sources of power.

I’ll be talking with you more about this in the weeks and months ahead.

In the meantime, please know that I am deeply concerned about the pain that rising gasoline prices are causing, and remain dedicated to working toward the long-term solution Granite Staters want.

I look forward to reporting back to you in two weeks on the latest developments in Washington. In the meantime, if I can be of service to you, or if you want to share your thoughts, suggestions or concerns with me, please call either my district office in Manchester at (603) 641-9536 or my Washington office at (202) 225-5456, or contract me through my website at www.Guinta.

House.Gov. Until next time, please know that I am always on your side and actively fighting for New Hampshire’s interests in Washington.

(Frank Guinta of Manchester represents New Hampshire’s First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.)

Thank you Alton voters for saying ‘no’ to sale of a hidden gem To the editor, On behalf of our committee, I would like to thank the many voters in the community for voting NO on Article 11, Echo Point. That .97-acres is a hidden gem that deserves to remain town property. IT PROVIDES access to the lake for all sports activities, INCLUDING kayaks, canoes, snow machines, ice fisherman, and IT IS an entry way for bob

it only takes a few, to spark an idea that’s good for the majority.

LETTERS Gilford School Board is too arrogant or just too incompetent To the editor, Gilford’s State Representative, Alida Millham, was asked to look into the laws regarding the defiance of our school board’s on the superintendent issue. Alida’s response: “I do not know all the, arguments and laws regarding the position of superintendent so I can offer no considered opinion.”

Translation: “Let Them Eat Cake!”

This is no surprise to me based on my observation; Representative Millham only gets involved with self-serving liberal issues. I wonder how Ms. Millham would respond if the Gilford Selectboard decided not to fund the nonprofit charities, also known as outside agencies. Ms. Millham made sure she had plenty of “considered opinion” on funding those. Why should the selectmen care if the majority of voters passed the initiatives? In the case of the outside agencies, the Selectboard has more right to decide not to fund them than the school board’s defiance in following the District Plan. Not only was the District Plan passed by a twothirds majority of the voters but also submitted and approved by the N.H. Dept. of Education. The school board is operating way beyond the scope of

that plan with the current new SAU set up on top of wasting precious dollars on a costly non-value-added superintendent.

The School Board had the perfect opportunity to simply give Scott Isabelle the title of District Manager. In case you missed it Chairman Webber, this would be “The Leader”. Scott is now officially using the title of Assistant Superintendent for the Gilford School District. News flash to all Gilford School Board members, please read this next part slowly; Assistant Superintendent Isabelle is already doing the job!

The District Manager would work under the direction of the school board.

What little remains of the “superintendent duties” could easily be spread out among the current highly paid staff.

This is not only LEGAL but prescribed in the plan approved by the N.H. Dept. of Education and ratified by the voters (Gilford’s legislative body). This would have been SO EASY! Unfortunately the school board is either arrogant or too incompetent to do anything but waste our money on the status quo!

Terry Stewart Gilford

The bottom line is that commodity prices are moving on up To the editor, Hard commodity prices were boosted in 2010 by strong Chinese buying and some restocking in the OECD, where inventories were typically at historical lows. Stimulatory fiscal and monetary policies across worldwide boosted consumption generally and investor interest was strong. Prices rose particularly strongly in the fourth quarter of the year, owing to U.S. dollar weakness and the announcement of further monetary and fiscal easing in the U.S. Prices have continued to soar in the first six weeks of 2011, boosted by optimism about economic growth in the U.S. and European Union, some weakness of the U.S. dollar and persistently loose global liquidity conditions.

It is expected China will remain the primary source of demand growth in 2011. Expect Chinese consumption growth to ease as a result of government efforts to cool the property

sions. Unless an individual commodity has an especially tight market balance or negative supply developments, such as copper or tin, prices will struggle to improve further from current levels.

In the medium to longer term, expect prices for base metals to be supported by robust growth in the developing world and ongoing urbanization, and the fact that the supply profiles for many metals tend to be volatile. Mining output can easily be hampered by inclement weather, energy shortages, transport bottlenecks, union activity or a difficult regulatory environment. Prices generally are still expected to slip from the record highs witnessed in the first six weeks of 2011.

Bottom line hard commodity prices are moving on up. The line will not be straight up but easing of monetary and inflation mean prices will rise.

LETTERS Our reps need to say, ‘This is not right and I will not support it’ To the editor, I am writing today to comment on our N.H. House Speaker and his duties.

Following legislation is a hobby of mine. Our process in N.H. is very unique and one should be proud to be part of it.

This session I am finding that there is an unusual amount of bills repealing existing law, which is a waste of time and money and does not create jobs.

There are also an unusual amount of bills being retained. Retaining a bill is when the bill (for any number of reasons) will be held over to the second year of the session. (Which also means that it must go through the entire process again). Sometimes it is appropriate to do so; for example the committee decides that the bill just needs too much work and is not expedient to legislate.

Then, I start to see a pattern of what I call strong arming. HB-228 is an example. This bill would prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services from entering into a contract with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, or any organization that performs abortion services. The Committee of Health and Human Services and Elderly Affairs had a majority to kill the bill and the subcommittee also recommended rejecting this bill 7-0.

Evidently, the Speaker then wrote to committee Republicans and called a private caucus urging them to pass the bill. From the committee three Republicans and two Democrats said that they voted “reluctantly” to retain the bill, being influenced by a “strong

message” from the House leadership.

Regardless of the contents of a bill that is not Democracy! I looked up the duties of the Speaker under the 20112012 House Rules and I did not find anywhere that one of the duties is to force legislation based on the Speaker’s own ideals! I hope our legislators that represent us here in the Belknap County will stand up to the certain few who have their own agenda. I hope they will say “this isn’t right and we are not going to do it!”

While I am writing about the position of Speaker of the House, I abhor using “Speaker” and “Representative” in referring to ones who in my opinion are not worthy of the titles but out of respect I will. Speaker O’Brien, excusing bigotry, prejudice and deranged comments based on Representative Harty’s age makes you just as ignoble.

The fact that he even had the thought in his mind is disturbing and then to say “send the state’s disabled population to Siberia” is dismaying and has absolutely nothing to do with his age.

I may understand if he were excused for sleeping on the House floor. This misconduct is a slap in the face of N.H. State Legislators and is unacceptable, period! Some people still take great honor in holding those positions and I am thankful to them. Being a N.H. legislator is a very honorable position and those who do not act accordingly should be removed.

Carla Horne Meredith (Editors note: Rep. Harty resigned his seat in the N.H. House on Tuesday.)

I will be voting for anyone who is not on the Shaker Board now To the editor, I must agree with earlier letters indicating the displeasure with the Shaker School Board who, as usual, after saying how they were working on keeping the budget low and were going to make some cuts in order to do so, did nothing. Sumner Dole now writes asking for voters to keep him on the board claiming he has the “experience” to help run the district.

With all do respect Mr. Dole, you had your chance and have cost the taxpayers here in Belmont as well as Canterbury a large amount of tax dollars. It is time for a change.

Voters should be aware of some

major changes in the form of state aid that may very well be thrust down onto local property taxpayers. Voters should also realize that the teachers are still in negotiations for another new contract...can hardly wait to see this one! It is time for a change. If we could replace the entire board that would fix the problem especially if we had a school board that kept the taxpayers in mind when they prepare their budgets. When you say you are going to make cuts then make them! I will be voting for anyone who is not on the board now.

Don Irvin Belmont

How can one make such a dramatic change without abutter’s input?

To the editor, I woke up a couple of weeks ago and opened my front picture drapes only to find a huge crane placing a huge metal smoke stack on the garage of the funeral home across the street from me. Then in a couple of hours they placed a box-like structure measuring 6-feet by 6-feet around this.

I called the town office to find that Mr. Mayhew of Mayhew Home had installed a crematorium. Now in checking around I found that no one around me had been notified either.

Since when is it legal for someone to make such a dramatic change in their business that they have a right to do so with out notifying the prop-

erty owners around them. The town manager and selectmen of Meredith say that it is simply an accessory to his business. Well, tell that to the property owners on this street when they try to sell their homes and when they wake up in the wee hours of the a.m. to putrid smell that makes them so nauseous that they don’t even want to drink their morning coffee.

After all, Mr. Mayhew has to make a profit. Never mind that the neighbors around him will lose theirs.

This is America under the Republican control of the house.

To the editor, For those of you who might not be aware of it, big corporations are once again being greedy. They want to destroy the beauty of the North Country of New Hampshire. I am talking about the Northern Pass Project. This project begins in Canada and goes through the State of New Hampshire.

The project involves cutting a 150-foot to up to 400-foot clear cut right of way to construct metal towers that will be 90-feet to 135-feet high to transport electricity that will benefit Massachusetts and Connecticut. New Hampshire will not get the benefit of the use of this power. New Hampshire already exports more power than it uses.

The corporations say this project will create jobs for the already depressed economy of the North Country. While this may be true, the jobs will only be temporary. They will need local loggers to clear the right-of-way. Local hotels, motels and restaurants will house/feed the people who work on this project. What happens when the project is completed? What happens to those people who rely on the land for their income? One maple producer in North Strafford relies heavily on the income from the trees that produce the sap that make maple products.

This project will run through his prop-

erty. What will that do to his income?

This project will devalue owners’ properties. Who want to see big ugly towers across the beautiful landscape of the North Country and New Hampshire? This will not help the economy of the North Country.

It is possible this project will go through Franconia Notch and conservation lands that have been preserved for future generations. Won’t it be a beautiful sight to head north on Route 93 and come upon ugly towers! As it is we have already lost an icon in Franconia Notch with the loss of the Old Man in the Mountain. Don’t destroy it with ugly towers.

This project will destroy the beauty of the North Country, which is one of the natural landscapes still unscathed by big corporations. I urge all of you to write Governor Lynch, Senators Ayotte and Sheehan and state representatives in opposition of this project.

PSHN, N-Star and Northern Utilities and other big corporations think of the people for once and not bulking up your wallets. The beauty of New Hampshire and its North Country can’t afford it. Keep New Hampshire and its North Country the way it is; beautiful and irreplaceable.

I ask Senator Forsythe to help preserve our Freedom from Fear To the editor, The following letter was sent to Senator Forsythe regarding SB-27: Dear Senator Forsythe, I understand from various articles in the newspaper that you may not have made up your mind regarding speed limits on the lake. From what I heard, you are weighing the desires of many of your constituents against your personal inclination against the government stifling the freedom of individuals. I can understand this dilemma since I am a bit of a libertarian myself, yet I strongly support the boating speed limit.

During WWII, Norman Rockwell painted a series known as “The Four Freedoms”. One of these freedoms is “Freedom from Fear”. Rockwell’s painting shows two parents tucking their children in for the night.

Shouldn’t these parents have the right to “Freedom from Fear” when they take those children out onto Lake Winnipesaukee? Do the “rights” of people with off-shore boats to behave without consideration to others trump the rights of the vast majority of boaters who want to spend time on the lake without fear?

SBONH, the off-shore boating group opposed to speed limits and no-

wake zones, contends that there are in fact few accidents on the lake related to speed. I don’t know how many are acceptable. My guess is that the boating speed limit will save “only” about one life every 5 to 10 years. But this misses a major point. The boating speed limit is about more than saving lives. It is about Freedom from Fear.

It is about being able to use the lake without being frightened by boats going at unsafe speeds.

I am a “conservative”, which means that I believe in conserving things. To conserve the shoreline, we all agree not to build houses within 50-feet of the water. To conserve the the purity of the lake, we agree to install and maintain proper septic systems.

LETTERS Shaker teachers asking voters to restore $67,000 to the budget To the editor, On January 28, 2011, in the scheduled mediation session, the Shaker Regional Education Association and the Shaker Regional School Board reached a tentative agreement on a Collective Bargaining Agreement for 2011-2012. On February 8, 2011, the Shaker Regional Education Association (SREA) teachers ratified the tentative agreement, which offered slightly less to SREA members than the current contract, knowing that it represented a show of consideration for the taxpayers in the district. On February 10, 2011, the school board rejected the tentative agreement. The vote was 3-2. This event was extremely disheartening and concerning to SREA members because the school board decided not to allow the negotiated contract to be presented to the voters.

On February 24, the school board also removed or reallocated approximately $67,000 in funds previously allocated in the budget for the teachers’ contract, citing the recent repeal of the Evergreen Law as justification for decreasing

the district’s obligations for the collective bargaining agreement. NEA-NH is in the process of bringing litigation against school boards for their actions in regard to the Evergreen Law. It is our hope that we will be able to resolve the contract issues at the School District Meeting on Friday and avoid costly litigation that will not serve our students in any way. Additionally, the next step in the negotiations process is to move forward to a fact finding phase, for which the SRSB has allocated $10,000, additional funds that will not serve our students in any way.

The School Board has placed us in a difficult situation by refusing to include money for our contract in their proposed budget. As a result, the SREA will be asking district members on Friday to consider amending the budget to include the money needed to support a reasonable contract for the teachers.

Please come out and vote on Friday in support of the students and teachers in the Shaker Regional School District!

Shaker Regional Education Assoc.

Tonya Angwin, President

I you want to keep things the way they are, don’t vote for me To the editor, I recently wrote a letter that was published in the March 5 issue of The Laconia Daily Sun about who I am and why I am running for school board, and I offered a few ideas that I believe would be good for the Shaker District. I respect the members of our school board, past and present, for their unselfish service to our communities. My ideas to move our school forward should not take away from this sentiment.

This past week, I have been asked whether or not I am “pro-teacher, protaxpayer or pro-kid.” My grandmother taught in the early 1900s at the Gilmanton Academy. My dad was a history teacher, and my mom was an English teacher. I am married to a teacher. This year’s tax bill on our home increased nearly 30-percent. On the way home everyday, I pass by homes that are empty, unplowed and likely to be foreclosed on. I grew up with five siblings, I have four children of my own, and I work daily with kids and their families.

It is safe to say that the answer to all three questions is yes.

Finding a candidate for school board who does not have a child in the district, or a relative, spouse or close friend associated in one way or another, is next to impossible. All of our current board members and most previous board members have all had a personal connection of some sort.

The structure and purpose of the board, under sound leadership, is supposed to prevent one’s personal interest or personal agenda from coming to light.

Board members share different opinions, philosophies and personalities but act as a whole in instituting policy and conducting other board functions.

During this past year, the current board had the challenging tasks of selecting a superintendent, negotiating a teacher contract and producing a budget for the ensuing year. If you are satisfied with the processes and outcomes and want to keep things as they are, do not vote for me. If you are looking for positive change and greater transparency, please come out and vote for me on March 18, 2011 at 6 p.m.

I’m truly blessed to have so many people supporting me To the editor, To the residents of Meredith: Last week at town elections, I was re-elected your Town Clerk. I am truly thankful to all who turned out to support my candidacy. I appreciate all of the kind words and encouragement given to me by the residents that I had conversations with leading up to the elections. Meredith residents are very civic minded individuals who do not take their right to vote for granted and I enjoy being in their company.

I am truly blessed to have a family and a network of friends who throughout the campaign were willing to help to get the word out to support me. My children and husband were very patient no matter what I asked of them, whether it was placing, or

matter how big they were) or how wet they would get or standing outside the polls on voting day knowing that I needed to be inside doing my job.

I look forward to continuing to work with the residents and non residents who come in, call on the phone, or e-mail the office. We are working on many changes that we hope will make it more convenient for the residents.

Please feel free to contact my office or stop me when you see me I am always happy to answer any question you may have, and if I don’t have the answer I will research it for you and get back to you.

Thank you again for allowing me to be your Town Clerk Kerri A Parker Meredith Town Clerk

Celebrated Belknap County teacher barely Monday night public hearing will focus on blinks as she passes 100-year milestone

Gunstock’s bid to borrow $1.5-million for summer recreation enhancements

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Considering that Doris Barnes spent 80 years in education, including 12 as a tutor after her official retirement, it’s likely that she’s helped thousands of young students.

Several of her former students were among the crowd of 70 who attended Barnes’s 100th Birthday Party, held yesterday at the Lyons’ Den restaurant in Gilford.

Barnes, who retired from tutoring only last year, continues to live independently on Warren Street in downtown Laconia. For her birthday wish, she joked, “Get my street fixed, please.”

Barnes said yesterday that her longevity and enduring good health was due to sticking “pretty much” to a good diet, her “good genes” and what she called her “inner spirit,” which was kept strong through her faith in God, faith in herself and faith in people.

“I’m fine today,” Barnes responded when asked how it felt to be 100. “I’m looking forward to the next hundred. My world is comfortable right now, I wish the outer world was better.”

Barnes was born on a farm in Holton, Maine. She started her teaching career at 18 years old, working in a one-room school house in Barnstead. Without electicity or a telephone, she taught all subjects to students in grades one through eight.

After seven years in Barnstead, Barnes was hired as a “teaching principal” in Alton. During World War II, she taught in Portland, Maine. She then switched from teaching to guidance and worked as a counselor in Rochester, Farmington and at the middle school in Laconia.

Barnes retired at age 80, though continued to remain in education as a tutor. Her dedication to her profession earned her many accolades. One poignant example: the New Hampshire Excellence in Education Lifetime Acheivement award is named after her.

It wasn’t an easy vocation. At times, such as during the Great Depression and World War II, her class sizes were greater than 40 students. Education, she said, kept her interest because it was about “helping people. I guess I was always interested in the slow learner and the handicapped.” If she could go back to work tomorrow, Barnes said without hesitation that she’d like to teach a 5th grade class.

In 2008, Barnes nearly was able to add “Laconia

School Board member” to her resume, garnering 46 percent of the 979 votes cast in her ward.

Barnes said life is good at 100. She keeps herself busy by cooking and socializing, sewing and playing bridge. She’s had her difficult times and her regrets.

“Those who know them, know them. Those who don’t, don’t need to know,” she said, explaining her “spirit within” has kept her going. “My own intention to believe, to want to do things for people. I was needed, I felt good about that.”

LACONIA — The Belknap County Convention will host the first of two meetings Monday night to determine if Gunstock Mountain Resort can borrow $1.5 million to expand its multiseason recreation offerings.

Earlier this month the 5-member Gunstock Commission gave it’s approval to the proposed $2.1-million expansion that would bring Segway tours, aerial tree-top adventures and a ZipTour — a trolley-like system that allows people to go from one mountain top to another via a harness.

Six-hundred and five thousand dollars would come from the the publicly owned resort’s capital budget. The balance would come from the proceeds of the sale of general obligation bonds.

Gunstock Commissioner Charles Lowth III of Meredith said yesterday the statistics show the expansion investment should become profitable with 2 1/2 years.

“Most similar attractions have seen positive returns on investment in about a year,” he said.

Should the County Convention give it’s approval, Gunstock administrators said the project should be operable by July 15.

In 2010, a previous County Convention approved a 5-year memorandum on understanding whereby Gunstock would pay $175,000 annually to the county.

The newest memorandum replaced the 2000 agreement that stipulated Gunstock would pay the county $150,000 plus a percentage of its gross annual income above $6-million.

In exchange for the 2000 agreement, the county assumed $6-million of an outstanding $8-million that remained when Gunstock borrowed $10-million for a capital expansion in the mid-1980s.

The debt was satisfied last year said County Administrator Debra Shackett during a March 2010 commissioner’s meeting, when the commission asked former Gunstock Commission Chair Howard Chandler to attend the meeting.

At the time, Chandler, who has since retired as a Gunstock commissioner, said the resort wanted to continue to contribute to the county as a “good-will gesture.”

Any bond sale, should it be approved by the delegation, is backed by the full faith and credit of Belknap County and the taxpayers would be responsible in the unlikely event of a default.

The proposed bond would be for 10 years and Gunstock officials estimate a 4-percent interest rate will be called for. At that term, Gunstock officials said the highest payment would be $210,000 for year 2012.

Monday’s public hearing on the matter will be 7 p.m. at the county offices.

Delegation members will cast their votes on March 28 at a 7 p.m., again at the county offices.

Bryant challenging incumbents Tuthill and Olson-Wilder for Belmont seats on Shaker board

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Richy Bryant, in his second bid in as many years, is challenging incumbents Pret Tuthill and Gretta Olson-Wilder for one of two Belmont seats up for election to the Shaker Regional School Board.

Voting will take place at the high school on Friday night, from 6 to 8 p.m. The annual district meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the same location.

Of the three candidates, Bryant has easily mounted the most aggressive campaign. In a letter to local newspapers, he wrote that the current board lacked “cohesiveness and direction” and has “taken a step backwards.”

At the same time, he said that he had nothing but respect for individual members of the board. “I’m not running against anyone,” he remarked. “I’m running for the board.”

Last year, Olson-Wilder edged Bryant 123 to 107 in an election to complete the unexpired term of a retiring board member.

One of six siblings and the father of four sons to graduate from Belmont High School, Bryant has deep roots in the town and the school. In 1986, he joined the Belmont Police Department as a fulltime officer and for the past decade has served as its school resource officer. He has also volunteered as a coach and chaperon as well as assisted with numerous co-curricular activities. “I really believe I am very close to the schools,” he said.

A relative newcomer to the board, Olson-Wilder, an auditor at Citizen’s Bank, has contributed to a variety of community projects, including Community Arts Resources in Education (CARE) and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. With one son in the middle school and another in the high school, she said she was often in the schools, where she has developed sound relationships with administrators and teachers.

Tuthill, an owner and president of Keymont Construction, has served on the board since 2002. He is the father of three daughters, one of whom graduated from Belmont High School last year. A civil engineer by training, he believes that an exemplary JAPAN from page 2 Since the quake and wave hit, authorities have been struggling to avert an environmental catastrophe at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex, 140 miles (220 kilometers) north of Tokyo. The tsunami knocked out the backup diesel generators needed to keep nuclear fuel cool, setting off the atomic crisis.

In the city of Fukushima, about 40 miles (60 kilometers) inland from the nuclear complex, hundreds of harried government workers, police officers and others struggled to stay on top of the situation in a makeshift command center.

An entire floor of one of the prefecture’s office buildings had been taken over by people tracking evacuations, power needs, death tolls and food supplies.

In one room, uniformed soldiers evaluated radiation readings on maps posted across a wall. In another, senior officials were in meetings throughout the day, while nuclear power industry representatives held impromptu briefings before rows of media cameras.

Wednesday’s radiation spike was apparently the result of a release of pressure that had built up in the complex’s Unit 2 reactor, officials said. Steam and pressure build up in the reactors as workers try to cool the fuel rods, leading to controlled pressure releases through vents — as well as uncontrolled explosions.

A U.S. nuclear expert said he feared the worst.

“It’s more of a surrender,” said David Lochbaum, a nuclear engineer who now heads the nuclear safety program for the Union of Concerned Scientists, an activist group. “It’s not like you wait 10 days and the radiation goes away. In that 10 days things are going to get worse.”

“It’s basically a sign that there’s nothing left to do

public school system is the most essential element of the infrastructure of both the town and the state.

“If everything is going well, why would I run?” asked Bryant. In particular, he believes that the board has mishandled the budget process, failed to negotiate a contract with the teachers’ union and “micro-managed” the school principals. He said that he seeks to bring more transparency and public participation to the budget process and to grant greater discretion to principals. “We’re not making the most of their expertise and talent,” he said.

Both incumbents stressed that the board was severely challenged by increased expenditures totaling more than $1-million, which arose from contractual and statutory obligations. Olson-Wilder said that apart from personnel issues, the board worked in public sessions and held two well attended public hearings — one in Belmont and one in Canterbury — on the budget. She described the process as “very fair and open.”

“I certainly would hope that we responded to public input,” said Tuthill, who added that “we listened to those concerned about the cuts as well as to the taxpayers. Unfortunately we were faced with very difficult choices.”

Both Olson-Wilder and Tuthill anticipated that the board would be confronted by similar, even greater challenges in the future. Olson-Wilder said that if the state withheld its share of retirement contributions for teachers, “we will have to return to the budget.”

Tuthill feared that if the state does not contribute to the New Hampshire Retirement System and reduces funding for special education, the district could be faced with $500,000 or more in foregone revenue and downshifted costs. “The real challenge for the next board will be to maintain the quality of education and be responsible to taxpayers,” he said. “in the circumstances, I’m not sure why I ran again except that I’m a big fan of public education and decided to take another whack at it.”

Apart from the fiscal issues, Olson-Wilder said that in seeking another term she hoped to pursue initiatives to achieve energy efficiencies in all the schools and improve the school lunch program in keeping with new federal nutritional guidelines.

but throw in the towel,” Lochbaum said.

Edano said the government expects to ask the U.S. military for help, though he did not elaborate. He said the government is still considering whether to accept offers of help from other countries.

The government has ordered some 140,000 people in the vicinity to stay indoors. A little radiation was also detected in Tokyo, triggering panic buying of food and water.

‘Hands Across Generations’ quilt featured at Meredith Community Center The “Hands Across Generations” quilt was revealed at the Meredith Community Center recently. The quilt was a joint effort conceived to encourage interaction between the Inter-Lakes Senior Center and the Parks and Recreation Department’s After-School Program. Both programs use the same room in the Community Center, though at different times of the day. In making the quilt, children traced their handprints and stitched them onto a piece of fabric, while the senior center created the quilt and included their own handprints. The quilt will hang in the entrance to the community center. The Altrusa Club helped fund the project. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

ALTON from page one vision and this contract did that.”

Voter did approved Article 7, which allows the School Board to call one special meeting of district voters before December 2011 to try again.

This was the third time since March 2010 the voters of Alton have been asked to support an new contract for the teachers. On the two prior occasions when the proposed contract was turned down by the voters, the union and the School Board went back to renegotiate a new agreement that reduced in creases to the cost of salaries and benefits.

In March 2010, a 3-year contract was proposed, calling for an estimated increase in salary and benefits of $85,942 in year one, $109,426 in year two and $138,914 in year three. After that deal was rejected a special meeting was held in September 2010 that put a 1-year contract before voters that would have cost an estimated $44,695 more than the status quo.

Teachers began the 2010-11 school year without a contract and thus have gone without a salary increase.

The School Board and the union went back to the negotiating table last fall and the proposed contract that emerged eliminated the possibility of the socalled “evergreen” provision — step pay increases being granted even in the absence of a new contract.

It included a cost-of-living adjustment of 1.4-percent, with a bottom line additional cost estimated at $36,015.

Moderator Mark Northridge presided over Wednesday’s recount. It took one hour and 20 minutes to complete.

Afterwards, the School Board and the Alton Teachers’ Association thanked Northridge, Linda Roy, Marybee Longabaugh and Lisa Noyes for the time they gave to help with the recount. Bob Longabaugh was also thanked for videotaping the process.

RULING from page 2 more opportunities for social interaction than home school afforded. But Voydatch’s lawyer argued that the court punished both the mother and daughter for their religious views.

“The lower court held the Christian faith of this mother and daughter against them,” attorney John Anthony Simmons said in a statement Wednesday.

He said the court ignored that issue and wrote off the case as a “parent versus parent” issue without recognizing “the very real underlying threat to reli-

gious liberty.”

“Parents have a fundamental right to make educational choices for their children. Courts can settle disputes, but they cannot legitimately order a child into a government-run school on the basis that her religious views need to be mixed with other views,” he said.

Kurowski’s attorney, Joshua Gordon, said his client is satisfied that the court settled things according to what is in the girl’s best interests.

“It’s not about religion or one religion or another.

It’s not about how good home schooling is or whether public schooling is good or not as good,” he said. “It’s just about two parents who can’t agree. Someone’s got to resolve it, and it’s the court’s job.”

HOSPITAL from page one ment rates. Reimbursements for Medicare patients represent 43-percent and for Medicaid patients 10-percent of LRGHealthcare’s gross revenues from inpatients and outpatients. On average the states reimburse close to 90-percent of the cost of treating Medicaid patients while New Hampshire reimburses just 54-percent, among the least of all states. Likewise, most states are reimbursed close to 100-percent of Medicare costs compared to 84-percent in New Hampshire.

In 2010, LRGHealthcare’s Medicare and Medicaid costs exceeded its reimbursements by $13.5-million, $4.3-million less than in 2009. The decrease, Lipman explained, is the result of Lakes Region General Hospital being designated a “sole community hospital,” one of nearly 500 rural facilities serving populations with few nearby alternatives. The designation entitles Lakes Region General to preferential reimbursements rates and its stablemate, Franklin Regional Hospital, as one of 13 “critical access hospitals” in the state, also enjoys favorable rates. “We are fortunate to have these designations,” Lipman said.

Nevertheless, as the state has trimmed Medicaid payments by $70-million in the past two years, Lipman estimates LRGHealthcare has lost as much as $4.5-million in annual revenue.

“Obviously these operating results are not sustainable,” Lipman said. “Without positive results we could find our access to credit limited and our cost of credit increased.”

To counter the pressure on revenue, Lipman said that LRGHealthcare has taken aggressive and innovative steps to achieve efficiencies and control expenses. “We are expecting everyone to do more with less,” he said. “Every aspect of operations is being scrutinized right down to how we do the mail.”

LRGHealthcare reduced its annual insurance costs by $700,000 by joining with Concord Hospital, Eliot Health Systems of Manchester and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital of Dover to form Granite Shield Insurance Exchange, a captive insurance company that provides both primary coverage and excess insurance for the hospitals as well as physi-

cians, nurses, administrators and support staff.

Meanwhile, LRGHealthcare shored up its capital structure, which was jeopardized by the plight of the Wall Street banks, by restructuring its outstanding debt. The $143.2-million financing package enabled the corporation to undertake its most ambitious construction program in 30 years as well as refinance its debt on more favorable terms, reducing its debt service by $27-million. In the course of the refinancing it terminated an interest rate swap that had locked in the rate of its prior borrowings and booked a one-time non-operating loss of $11-million, which left the total margin $13.7-million in the red.

However, Lipman explained that since the loss was indirectly incorporated into the debt restructuring, it minimized the impact on the balance sheet.

Lipman said that LRGHealthcare has positioned itself to withstand the major forces that Moody’s expects to increase expenses of non-profit hospitals, including unfunded pension liabilities, higher interest costs and investment in information technology.

“Our pension system is fully funded,” he said, “the refinancing has strengthened our credit posture and limited our exposure to interest rate risk and we are on our way to addressing our foreseeable IT requirements.”

Lipman said that state government poses the outstanding threat to the financial stability of LRGHealthcare, along with its counterparts across the state, as the governor and lawmakers wrestle to balance the 2012-2013 budget. His greatest concern is payments for uncompensated care, which for LRGHealthcare amount to about $9-million. In his budget address Governor John Lynch proposed diverting $20-million of the $187-million in uncompensated care funds from hospitals to fund Medicaid optional services. This

week the House Finance Committee recommended eliminating $115-million in payments altogether and foregoing federal matching funds, though critical access hospitals would be spared.

Likewise, some lawmakers have suggested increasing the Medicaid Enhancement Tax, which is levied on hospitals at a rate of 5.5-percent to qualify for federal matching funds for uncompensated care payments.

Lipman warns that if the tax is raised to six-percent and uncompensated care payments are reduced, hospitals will have no choice but to shift costs to patients with private heath coverage. “The effect would be devastating,” he said. “It would lead to very steep increases in the cost of private health insurance.”

Lipman is also troubled by the prospect of cuts to other health care programs and providers, including the Healthy Kids Corporation, community mental health agencies, community health centers, home health agencies and nursing homes, which he fears would add to the burdens and expenses of hospitals.

For example, the House Finance Committee recommends withdrawing community mental health services from some 3,500 adults and 3,400 children and limiting admissions, despite warnings that the responsibility and costs for them will fall to hospital emergency rooms and law enforcement agencies. Lynch recommended withholding $4-million from community health centers like Health First Family Care Center and the House Finance Committee is considering cutting another $500,000, which is expected to leave some 12,000 patients without primary care.

“We need to work with our community and community partners,” Lipman said, “and be part of the solution. The future looks tough, but how tough depends on what the state government in particular actually does.”

Judge clarifies what he wants from S’ton ZBA

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — A Belknap County Superior Court judge told the town’s Zoning Board of Adjustment that it must give as reason as to why a Huckins Pond Road man cannot build on a piece of property he owns.

Responding to a motion for clarification requested by town lawyers, Judge James O’Neill Jr. wrote the ZBA’s reasons for denying Mark Robitaille a requested from variance from zoning regulations were duplicitous and unclear.

“The ZBA did not explain why (Robitaille’s) variance met the public interest prong but not the spirit of the ordinance prong,” O’Neill said.

“In other words, the ZBA’s reasoning was unclear or perhaps nonexistent,” he wrote.

At issue is a seeming contradiction in the board reasoning behind its denial of the variance.

Robitaille purchased a 1.6-acre non-conforming lot from the town that is across the road from a piece of property he owns. His primary home is there.

The lot was purchased from the town for $7,500 and Robitiaille said he was given conflicting information from town employees as to whether or not he would be able to build a home on it.

He had hoped, with a variance that would excuse

CONCORD — The N.H. House of Representatives yesterday adopted legislation — House Bill 341 — authorizing cities and towns with municipal charters to adopt tax or spending caps on a roll call vote of 257 in favor and 84 against.

The bill was introduced to overcome a decision by the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which last June struck down the spending cap adopted in Manchester. The court found that because the measure required the board of mayor and aldermen to either comply with the limit of the cap or override it by

a super-majority of two-thirds, it conflicts with the board’s authority to adopt a budget by a simple majority vote as prescribed by state law. The decision applied to similar measures enacted in Laconia, Franklin, Derry, Dover, Nashua and Rochester, all of which included override provisions requiring a twothirds majority.

The legislation specifies that a supermajority of two-thirds is required to override the limits set by the cap and legitimizes the seven tax or spending caps enacted in the past.

Meanwhile, the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs Committee is expected to report similar legislation — Senate Bill 2 — to the full Senate next week. consideration.

Republican lawmakers in both chambers hope to amass veto-proof majorities in order to render moot any possible veto by Gov. John Lynch.

him from the 75-foot wetlands buffer, to build a small home and sell his larger home across the street.

The ZBA initially granted him his variance, but after selectmen asked it to reconsider, a second ZBA meeting, that included different membership than the first, narrowly denied the variance. According to O’Neill, the reason for the denial was not made clear to Robitialle or the court.

The refusal triggered a minor backlash against selectmen, who decided in June of 2010 to interview all town board appointees before they were seated.

Robitaille sued after he was denied, citing, among other things, coercion of the part of selectmen.

In his initial ruling, O’Neill said he found no coercion but noted the ruling was nonetheless vague as to its reasoning and he sent it back to the ZBA for clarification.

In his second clarification issued last week, O’Neill said no new information could be offered by either side, that the ZBA must submit a written ruling to the Belknap Superior Court as to its reasoning, that the ZBA may not alter its conclusions nor may it rule on other variance criteria that seemingly has already been met.

The Sanbornton ZBA meets next on March 22 although at this time the Robitaille decision is not on its agenda.

Celtics atop East again after win over Pacers BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics are finally getting a bench together.

Reserve Jeff Green scored 13 of his 19 points in the second quarter as the Celtics took the lead for good on Wednesday night, and Boston moved back into a first-place tie in the Eastern Conference by beating the Indiana Pacers 92-80.

The victory left the Celtics and Chicago Bulls (48-18) with the same record in the race for home-court advantage through the conference finals. Boston had lost three of four to fall out of the top spot, including a defeat to the non-contending New Jersey Nets on Monday night.

“I think they’re motivated every night, particularly after a tough loss,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “Chicago taking over the top spot in the East, (the Celtics) knew they needed this game and they brought their ‘A’ effort. It was too much for us.”

Paul Pierce scored 20 for Boston, and Rajon Rondo had eight assists but struggled from the floor for the

second straight game. The Celtics point guard was 1 for 10 in the Nets loss, and he was 0 for 2 and scoreless against Indiana.

But the bench made up for it, turning a five-point deficit into a three-point lead; the Celtics never trailed again.

“I think the second unit collectively came in and gave a big spark,” Green said.

A key part of the trade that sent center Kendrick Perkins to the Oklahoma City Thunder at the trading deadline, Green has emerged as the stalwart of the Boston second unit, averaging 11 points and 26 minutes. Glen “Big Baby” Davis had nine points and nine rebounds, and Delonte West played 16 minutes in his first game back from a sprained ankle — just his fourth since Thanksgiving.

Shaquille O’Neal and Jermaine O’Neal are still recovering from injuries that have limited their contributions.

NASHUA (AP) — A New Hampshire man who has admitted being part of the deadly knife and machete attack on a woman and her 11-year-old daughter told a jury Wednesday he might kill again if he’s ever released from prison.

Christopher Gribble, 21, said on the fifth day of his trial that he knows he’s going to prison whether he’s convicted or whether the jury sides with his defense — that he’s not guilty by reason of insanity. He admits he killed Kimberly Cates and maimed her daughter, Jaimie, at their Mont Vernon home in October 2009.

Gribble said if the jury finds him insane, there is a possibility he could go free one day.

“If I did get out, I think it is possible I could kill again,” he said.

On cross-examination, Gribble acknowledged he planned the home invasion, supplied the machete and knife used to attack the victims and buried the weapons and some of the items stolen from the Cates’ home.

Prosecutor Jeffery Strelzin asked him if he acted “purposely” when he attacked Kimberly Cates.

“It’s hard not be purposeful doing something like that, when you stick a knife in someone,” Gribble replied.

Gribble testified for nearly 11 hours over the course of three days. Strelzin began his cross-examination Wednesday, clearly with the goal of establishing that Gribble was in control before, during and after the crimes.

“You chose to do this,” Strelzin asked, to which Gribble replied, “Yes.” Strelzin showed Gribble a receipt for the jewelry he stole from the Cates home and pawned the next day for $130.62.

“So that’s how much Kim’s life was worth to you?”

Strelzin asked.

“That’s an interesting way to put it, but, yes,” Gribble said.

Strelzin noted that less than four hours before the home invasion, Gribble was sitting in a car with his ex-girlfriend, Ashley Martin, who had angered and devastated him a week earlier when she broke up

with him. Gribble had the weapons they would use on the Cates in the back of his car. Strelzin asked him why he didn’t kill Martin.

“I never considered killing Ashley,” Gribble said.

When asked if he could pick and choose who he killed and could control himself, Gribble replied, “Yes.” Quinn Glover, an Amherst man who participated in the home invasion and pleaded guilty to burglary, robbery and conspiracy, testified Wednesday that Gribble was “excited, happy, invigorated” after hacking at the two victims and plunging the knife into Kimberly Cates’ throat. Glover said Gribble quickly shifted his focus from his victims to ransacking the room’s bureau drawers for jewelry and other valuables.

Glover contradicted Gribble’s earlier testimony that he felt nothing during the attacks.

Glover will be sentenced to 20 years in prison and also has testified against another co-defendant, Steven Spader.

Spader, who wielded the machete during the attacks, was convicted in November and is serving two life sentences without possibility of parole.

Also Wednesday, testimony that another co-defendant, Billy Marks, gave during Spader’s trial was read to the Gribble jury. Marks, who has a cooperation agreement with the state that calls for a 30-year sentence, has not yet pleaded guilty and invoked his right to remain silent.

LACONIA — James Harvey Winchester, 63, of 755 North Main Street, Laconia, passed away March 12, 2011 after a brief illness.

Harvey is deeply missed by his brother, Parker Winchester of Point Pleasant, NJ and Sisters, Sue Daigger of Whitney, Nebraska, Pat Immordino and Claire Lebret of Brick, NJ, Corina Winchester of Wolcott, VT, and Ann Winchester of Laconia, NH. Also brothers-in-law Gary Daigger, George Lebret, Bob Trachtenberg and Courtenay Moore. Nieces and nephews John Immordino and Jason Phillips of Brick, NJ, Julie Weibel of Laramie, WY, James Lebret of NYC, Rob Lebret of Bradley Beach, NJ, Robert Trachtenberg of Wolcott, VT, Corina Earle of Long Branch, NJ, Jeanie Daigger of Norton, MA and Abby Moore of Newton, MA. He leaves great sadness in the hearts of a large and loving group of extended family and dear friends who

knew that Harvey was always the best company to keep — honorable, sincere, empathetic and outrageously humorous.

Originally from Brick (Herbertsville), Harvey also enjoyed 28 years in Ormond By the Sea, Florida, and 5 years in Sandwich, NH. He spent his last year at Genesis eldercare on Blueberry Lane. Many thanks to the staff there, who really know what loving care is all about.

Inspired by their son and his fiends, Harvey’s parents, Parker and Rita Winchester, opened their home and fields to Camp Greentree, a rustic summer camp for children.

Harvey loved the Beatles and all rock, threw himself into projects of all kinds, and was always game for a road-trip, especially the heading-South kind.

There will be a memorial service in New Jersey on April 2nd and burial in Nebraska this spring.

Wilkinson-Beane Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.

OBITUARY

BUY ONE ENTREE, GET 2ND ENTREE FREE!!!

Joseph W. ‘Leo’ Godbout, 80 KENNEBUNK, Maine — Joseph Willie Leo Godbout, 80, of Penny Lane, died early Sunday morning, February 27, 2011 at The Atria in Kennebunk. Known by all as “Leo,” he was born in Montreal, Canada on October 30, 1930, a son of Joseph Ovide and Cordelia (Rousseau) Godbout. As his father was a U.S. citizen, Leo spent his early years shuttling between Quebec and New Hampshire, depending upon available work for the family.

At the age of 17, he enlisted in the U.S. Army where he began a distinguished 27 year career of service.

He was stationed primarily with the famed 101st Airborne Division, and saw combat action during two tours in Vietnam, first as an advisor, later as regular soldier. Leo was highly decorated, earning four Bronze Star Medals, the Legion of Merit, and numerous gallantry and campaign awards. Early in his career, he was stationed in Germany for 10 years, and was trained by the Army in Mountain Climbing and Survival. His final assignment prior to retirement was Command Sergeant Major of 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry, 3ID, US Army, Europe.

On February 14, 1959, he married the love of his life, Erna Dietl. She passed away in 2009, just before cel-

ebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

Following his retirement from the military, Leo earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business from New England College. He worked as a real estate broker in New Hampshire for several years, before he and Erna retired to Florida, where they lived for the next 25 years. They built a house adjacent to a golf course where Leo could passionately pursue his favorite hobby. He and Erna traveled extensively, especially to Germany and enjoyed going on cruises.

Leo was a proud member of the American Legion and the Knights of Columbus.

In addition to his loving Erna, he was predeceased by two brothers, Conrad and Real Godbout, and a sister, Jeannette Godbout.

Survivors include two sisters, Yvette Jalbert of Burlington, VT and Marguerite Cormier of NH as well as 7 nieces and 4 nephews, including Diane Godbout of Laconia, NH. There will be no local services. A Memorial Service with military honors will be held in the spring at St. Albert Church in Riverside, NH. Arrangements are in care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 67 Summer Street, Kennebunk.

WWII mail censorship subject of Wright Museum presentation on Sunday, March 20 WOLFEBORO — WWII mail censorship will be the subject of a presentation at the Wright Museum at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 20.

As part of its weekly Cabin Fever Winter Lecture Series, the Museum will host Joseph Foster, an amateur historian and college instructor, who will discuss how the U.S. military prevented sensitive information from being inadvertently leaked out through the mail.

Foster will substitute for C. Bruce Wright of Kennebunk, ME, who was a mail censor in the Navy during WWII. Wright’s job was to read servicemen’s letters home and redact passages relating to strategy or location. Foster will draw upon his friend’s experience in this lecture and slide show. In addition, Foster will discuss the personal stories of several of the WWII veterans who have spoken to his

students over the years.

“It was about ten years ago,” Foster recalled. “Tom Brokaw’s ‘Greatest Generation’ book had just come out and Tom Hanks’ ‘Saving Private Ryan’ was one of the big movies in theaters. Our famously laconic WWII veterans were just then beginning to open up about their experiences. So we substituted the old junior year research paper with a community oral history project. Among the participating veterans was Bruce Wright, who has since become a close friend. I look forward to the opportunity to share his and other veterans’ stories at the Wright Museum.”

Admission is $5 and free for members; admission to the museum’s galleries — open from noon — 4 p.m. — is included. R.S.V.P.s are strongly encouraged to ensure adequate seating. Call 569-1212 to reserve a seat.

In the past year and a half, “friends” have enjoyed time at “The Clubhouse,” movies, bowling, wall climbing, basketball, arts and crafts, adaptive skiing, drama, and dancing as well as trips to the theatre, shopping, and restaurants.

“Our club members are having ball,” added Barry. “They are developing lasting friendships and trying all kinds of new things that they never would have tried without the support of the ‘friends’ around them.”

For more information about the Lakes Region Friendship Connection, call (855) 652-2665. To make a reservation for the fundraiser, call The Mug at 279-8596.

MEREDITH — The Rotary Club has pledged $1,000 to Moultonborough Academy to help the school purchase an automated external defibrillator (AED).

The AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation is the application

of electrical therapy, which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.

Moultonborough Academy currently has two AEDs available at the school, one located at the gymnasium and the other at the nurse’s office. The new AED will enable the athletic department to ensure an AED is available at the sports field and at sports events that are held at other school sites.

by Dickenson & Clark

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in a position to appoint another person. This may not be official, and yet it is undeniably so. When you give the word, another person is either “in” or “out.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will get the apology you have wanted to hear for some time now.

Though this makes you feel better, ultimately, it will be deeds and not words that will bring this situation back into balance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your perspective may be off. Look at the big picture because it’s much lovelier than the small one. There’s too much focus being given to a minor, ugly detail that really doesn’t matter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll overturn a verdict you made long ago. Things are different from what you thought they were, and the more you experience the better you understand the difficulties of your past.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the ability to control your emotions intelligently. Those who have less control will envy you. Tonight brings a romantic situation in which you’ll play your cards exactly right.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 17).

You don’t need to change anything, and yet you will change things this year and have a terrific time in the process. You’ll be a huge influence on others in April and could even be the reason someone turns his or her life around. There’s a memorable wedding in May. June features a reunion. October brings justice.

Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 14, 24, 2 and 18.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You won’t say some of the things you are thinking, and later you’ll be happy you were so judicious. You’ll earn the trust of someone who does not give it very often.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you take time for planning, you’ll make a perfect plan. It’s perfect because it’s so flexible, allowing you to follow your whims and still accomplish what you set out to do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Because you are such a fantastic listener, you will understand even those who communicate poorly. You will find a way to either help them or profit from them -or both.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today is a puzzle that can only be solved through trial and error. You will not be able to figure out this maze by thinking ahead. It must be managed through experience.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are affectionate toward loved ones. Others are secretly envious of the attention you lavish on your nearest and dearest and may even make a play for your interest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is an element of intrigue, or perhaps even scandal, to the day’s events. There are always two sides to a story, and you can relate to both people involved, which makes it all the more interesting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Status is important to you, but it’s not your highest priority, not by a long shot. You’re more concerned with the welfare of your loved ones than anything else, which is reflected in today’s activities.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, March 17, the 76th day of 2011. There are 289 days left in the year. This is St. Patrick’s Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 17, 1861, Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed the first king of a united Italy.

On this date: In A.D. 461 (or A.D. 493, depending on sources), St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, died in Saul.

In 1762, New York’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade took place.

In 1776, British forces evacuated Boston during the Revolutionary War. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt first likened crusading journalists to a man with “the muckrake in his hand” in a speech to the Gridiron Club in Washington.

In 1910, the Camp Fire Girls organization was formed. (It was formally presented to the public on this date two years later.) The U.S. National Museum, a precursor to the National Museum of Natural History, opened in Washington, D.C. In 1941, the National Gallery of Art opened in Washington, D.C. In 1950, scientists at the University of California at Berkeley announced they had created a new radioactive element, “californium.”

In 1966, a U.S. midget submarine located a missing hydrogen bomb which had fallen from an American bomber into the Mediterranean off Spain.

In 1970, the United States cast its first veto in the U.N. Security Council. (The U.S. killed a resolution that would have condemned Britain for failure to use force to overthrow the white-ruled government of Rhodesia.)

In 1992, 29 people were killed in the truck bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

One year ago: Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter became the first state chief executive to sign a measure requiring his attorney general to sue Congress if it passed health reforms requiring residents to buy insurance.

Sponsored by Meredith Village Savings Bank, the program will include an overview of the 200 x 2020 initiative led by the Lakes Region United Way followed by a business panel of successful school-to-work partnerships from kindergarten to college.

The goal of 200 x 2020 is to have a minimum of 200 local businesses signed on by 2020 to give local students access to a full range of vocational, technical, and occupational experiences throughout the school years and support the long-term workforce demands of the Lakes Region. Special guests will include Cynthia Flynn from the NH Department of Labor and a representative from Primex to discuss liability and risk management. The program, which will include a free lunch, will end with small roundtable discussions networking educators and business leaders followed by questions and answers.

For more information, call LRCC at 524-5531 or visit www.lakesregionchamber.org.

Universalist Society

LACONIA — Bully Free NH will offers a workshop entitled “Standing Against Bullying” at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia (UUSL) from 10 a.m. — 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 26.

The workshop will address the topic of bullying in a manner designed to help students, parents, and teachers better understand why bullying occurs and coordinate efforts to functionally and safely intervene when experiencing, witnessing, or receiving reports of bullying behaviors at school or in the community.

An information session on the myths of bullying will be followed by a session on “Bystanders” for middle and high school students. According to Bully Free NH, 85 percent of the time when bullying occurs, peers are present and do not intervene. This workshop, presented by students, will help others understand when and how to safely assist the targets of bullying.

A session for parents and teachers will be led by Maxine Mosley, a veteran school counselor and bully trainer, who will provide essential information on how to deal with cyberbullying. Karen Levchuk, a Concord attorney and veteran trainer in the areas of harassment and discrimination, will discuss New Hampshire’s Pupil Safety and Violence Prevention Law. The afternoon session will feature Percy Hill, assistant principal at Kearsarge Regional Middle School, who will offer guidance to students, parents, and teachers on Student Leadership Team Initiatives to stop bullying.

UUSL is providing workshop space and a soup lunch at no cost. Seating is limited to 85 people and reservations should be made by March 18.

For reservations and further information call 5246488 or e-mail Rev. Kent McKusick at kentmckusick@metrocast.net.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, March 17, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for more than 20 years. He is a very good-looking man. His co-workers are mostly women. Yes, I am jealous, and I have good reason to be.

When we married, he was loving, caring and gave me lots of attention. My whole life changed due to health problems.

Now, I barely get a kiss as he leaves for work. Even though my health has improved, he stopped sleeping in our bedroom several years ago and hasn’t returned.

He thinks coming home, eating what I cook and retiring to the recliner is sufficient attention. Also, he told me the company arranged for him and a female employee to have a meeting once a week in his office. This bothered me because she called his cell phone in the evening. This went on for several months until I confronted him. He accused me of being jealous.

What should I do? Stay here and be a dishrag? Or move on with my life? He refuses to go for counseling or see a pastor.

-- Going Mad Dear Going Mad: Even if your husband refuses counseling, you should go anyway. You are obviously unhappy, and it sounds as if your marriage has been in trouble for a while.

Please talk to someone who can help you find better ways to deal with your situation.

Dear Annie: I am 18 years old, get good grades in college, stay out of trouble and am a good daughter. I recently got a small tattoo.

I live at home and have not yet told my father about it. He has double standards when it comes to my brother and me.

My brother is three years older and has a large tattoo. But I know Dad will be angry about mine, even though he was perfectly fine with my brother getting one, and he has one himself.

How do I tell him? I know it is bad to hide it, but I figure the

longer he doesn’t see it the easier it will be to tell him in the future. He won’t see it if I don’t show it to him. Maybe he’ll read this letter and not be so upset. -- Tatted Dear Tatted: Did you pay for the tattoo yourself? If so, Dad does not have to know about it. You are, after all, a legal adult.

However, it is usually best to bite the bullet and get it over with. Dad may respond more positively than you think, and if not, his anger won’t last forever.

Dear Annie: The letter from “Between a Rock and a Hard Place,” who judged her daughter-in-law’s housekeeping skills, struck a nerve. I disagree with your advice that she ask her son about helping to pay for a housekeeper.

I own a business that puts me in hundreds of family homes.

The immaculate house is far more rare than one would think.

That mother-in-law’s complaints about the housekeeping could be said about many homes.

Perhaps the mother-in-law needs to be told not to judge her daughter-in-law. Her son and grandson are not victims. They can clean, too. Perhaps the daughter-in-law likes a more livedin look. Perhaps she has better things to do with her time than clean. Perhaps the mother-in-law should stay home. Her son is an adult and has his own life, whether his mother likes it or not. -- Annoyed in Virginia Dear Virginia: We agree that a home does not have to be a showplace, but this daughter-in-law is a hoarder with several cats and a new baby on the way. It wouldn’t take much to push that situation over the edge, and we thought she could use a helping hand -- but not directly from her mother-inlaw.

Annie’s Snippet for St. Patrick’s Day (author unknown): For each petal on the shamrock, this brings a wish your way, good health, good luck, and happiness for today and every day.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, March 17, 2011— Page 23

Registration open for PSU Scuba Diving Instruction to be offered at Lakes Afterschool Arts program Region Community College beginning April 11

PLYOUTH — The Spring 2011 season of Afterschool Arts is now accepting registrations for children, grades K — 6 to attend art classes sponsored by the Plymouth State University (PSU) Art department.

Afterschool Arts, in partnership with Park & Recreation, is an ongoing arts education program at PSU and an arts advocacy initiative of the Art Education Program for area school children. Providing diverse art-making activities, the program is open to children of all abilities.

This semester’s theme is “The Arts of Latin America.” Children will explore the arts and crafts of Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, and other countries through hands-on activities. Pottery, basketry, mask making, painting, textiles, yarn painting, and other creations will be explored.

Instructor is Sarah Heidenis, an artist and art teacher at Waterville Academy and the Hunter School.

Heidenis earned her degree in art education from PSU. She will be assisted by PSU Art Education students.

The class for children grades K — 3 will meet from 3:30 — 5 p.m. on Mondays, April 4 — May 9; the class for children grades 3 — 6 will meet from 3:30 — 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, April 6 — May 11. Children in grade 3 may chose to participate in either class — or attend both classes.

A $25 fee will cover the cost of all materials and healthy snacks. Interested families should return a registration form with payment by April 1. For more information, call Bill Haust, Art Education coordinator at 535-2649 or e-mail bhaust@plymouth.edu.

LACONIA — For the first time ever, Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) will offer a five-week Scuba Diving Instruction course from 6 — 9 p.m.

April 11, 18, 21, 25, and 28.

Upon completion, each student will be awarded a National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) scuba diving certification card recognized around the world.

“NAUI has the highest training standards in the diving industry and NAUI divers enjoy a worldwide reputation for being accomplished underwater explorers,” according to Howard Richards, owner of Central New Hampshire Divers of Meredith. “The Scuba Diving Instruction course will be a great experience for individuals desiring to explore Lakes Region waters and beyond.”

The new course will consist of a combination of five classroom and pool sessions and finish with three open water dives later in the spring. Students will have the option to finish the open water dives

in a warmer climate through the NAUI referral program network.

“Scuba diving is the ultimate role playing activity where you live each moment and venture into places where no one else has been before,” added Richards, a long-time diving instructor. “You experience weightlessness like an astronaut orbiting the Earth breathing underwater while suspended in a cool, refreshing aquatic world.”

Course fee is $499, which include class time, pool time, course instruction manuals, gear, air rental, and dive time. Additional requirements are a mask, snorkel, and fins.

“I think this is a terrific opportunity for people living in the middle of the Lakes Region to get to know their lakes from top to bottom,” said Joe Hallgren, director of Workforce Development at LRCC. “Seating is limited so it is important to register early.”

For additional information and registration, call Hallgren at 524-3207.
