Laconia & 3 towns to cooperate on DPW projects

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The city, together with the towns of Belmont, Gilford and Meredith, is taking the first steps towards sharing municipal resources in an effort to achieve operating efficiencies and reduce costs.

City Manager Scott Myers

said yesterday that on the initiative of Mayor Mike Seymour, the two met with the town administrators and selectmen from the neighboring towns to explore opportunities for closer cooperation. They agreed that public works offered the most promising partnerships and last week a second meet-

ing, including the directors of public works from the four municipalities, led to an initial understanding.

Last night, Town Manager Phil Warren of Meredith and Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudoin told their respective selectboards of the tentative arrangements.

Warren spoke of sharing equipment, noting that the town expects to “chip seal”, or lay an abrasive shim coat, on some roads, which must first be swept. Meredith does not have a street sweeper, but Laconia does. He said that to avoid liability issues, Laconia personnel see COOPERATION page 8

Lindsey Vonn & Tiger Woods announce they’re dating

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Sports has a new power couple: Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn confirmed they’re dating.

Two months after rumors began circulating in Europe, Woods and Vonn posted separated items on their Facebook pages Monday afternoon to announce their relationship. The posts include photos of golf’s 14-time major winner and the Olympic and World Cup downhill ski champion.

“This season has been great so far and I’m happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral,” Woods said. “Something nice that’s happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating.”

Woods made a stop in Austria — where Vonn was competing in the Alpine skiing world championships — in January on his way to Abu Dhabi to start his season. Two weeks ago, after he won the Cadillac Championship at Doral for his second win this year, The Daily Mail published see COUPLE page 16

Police say dead Florida college student plotted onslaught ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A college student with two guns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a backpack filled with explosives pulled a dorm fire alarm Monday in an apparent attempt to force other students out into the open so that he could slaughter them, authorities said.

But he instead put a bullet in his head as police closed in.

James Oliver Seevakumaran, 30, was found dead in his dorm room at the 51,000-student Orlando campus of the

University of Central Florida. No one else was hurt.

“His timeline got off,” university Police Chief Richard Beary said. “We think the rapid response of law enforcement may have changed his ability to think quickly on his feet.”

Some 500 students were evacuated from the building in the middle of the night, unaware how narrowly they had escaped what could have been another Virginia Tech-style bloodbath.

“It could have been a very bad day here for everybody. All things considered, I think we were very blessed here,” Beary said.

“Anybody armed with this type of weapon and ammunition could have hurt a lot of people here, particularly in a crowded area as people were evacuating.”

Police shed no light on a motive, but university spokesman Grant Heston said that before the episode, the school was in the process of removing Seevakumaran from see STUDENT page 15

NEW YORK (AP) — Cigarettes would have to be kept out of sight in New York City stores under a first-in-the-nation plan unveiled by Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Monday, igniting complaints from tobacco companies and smokers who said they’ve had enough with the city’s crackdowns.

Shops from corner stores to supermarkets would have to keep tobacco products in cabinets, drawers, under the counter, behind a curtain or in other concealed spots. Officials

also want to stop shops from taking cigarette coupons and honoring discounts, and are proposing a minimum price for cigarettes, though it’s below what the going rate is in much of the city now.

Anti-smoking advocates and health experts hailed the proposals as a bold effort to take on a habit that remains the leading preventable cause of death in a city that already has helped impose the highest cigarette taxes in the country, barred

smoking in restaurants, bars, parks and beaches and launched sometimes graphic advertising campaigns about the effects of smoking.

The ban on displaying cigarettes follows similar laws in Iceland, Canada, England and Ireland, but it would be the first such measure in the U.S. It’s aimed at discouraging young people from smoking.

“Such displays suggest that smoking is a see TOBACCO page 9

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper will sign legislation Wednesday that sets limits on ammunition magazines and expands background checks for firearms, marking a Democratic victory in a state where gun ownership is a treasured right and Second Amendment debate has

played out in the wake of two mass shootings.

The measures proposed are some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, and their passage comes after weeks of tense legislative battles. Republicans and gun rights supporters put up a major fight against the

measures in this politically moderate state, while Democrats made them the centerpieces of a package of legislative proposals drafted in reaction to shooting rampages at a suburban Denver movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school last year. see COLORADO page 4

N.H. Troopers & police back gambling because proceeds will pay for more cops CONCORD (AP) — Legalizing casino gambling wouldn’t endanger public safety but would in fact be a boon to law enforcement budgets, New Hampshire state police and police officers argued Monday.

At a news conference backing a Senate-passed bill legalizing up to 5,000 slot machines and 150 table games, the New Hampshire Troopers Association and the New Hampshire Police Association said a casino would bring no more crime than a large shopping mall and without it, critical public safety programs would suffer.

Seth Cooper, president of the troopers association, said the state’s 317 troopers are stretched thin, particularly in the northern counties, where it sometimes takes more than 40 minutes to respond to a crash or more than 15 minutes to respond to a report of domestic violence. There are 31 vacant positions, and Gov. Maggie Hassan’s budget, which relies on gambling revenue, calls for filling 15 of them.

“Imagine for a moment how you would feel if your loved one was on the side of the road waiting for a trooper to arrive at the scene of an accident.

Or God forbid, someone you know was waiting for a trooper to come help in a domestic violence case for over 15 minutes,” said.

The bill passed the Senate gambling with bipartisan support last week, but it faces a more difficult test in the

House, which has historically rejected gambling legislation.

Both law enforcement organizations have backed casino bills for the last several years. Cooper said the groups carefully studied the experience of Massachusetts and other states and were reassured that a casino would not bring an influx of crime to the state. And they argued crime could actually increase without a casino.

Dave Young, president of the police association, said casino revenue could be used to restore funding to a program for troubled children. The Children in Need of Services program, or CHINS, allowed police, school officials or parents to file court petitions to get counseling and other services for kids who skip school, run away or otherwise appear headed for the criminal justice system.

“Law enforcement officers, without CHINS, are merely working as on-call counselors, putting temporary BandAids on problems,” Young said. “Many of the problems facing youth today, if unchecked, will turn them into seasoned criminals.”

Young also said without gambling revenue, police efforts to combat drugs and help the mentally ill would be impaired. He said the state’s 22-member drug task force, which is a mix of state and local officers, could be cut in half without a boost in funding.

Savings account seizure plan draws fury in Cyprus

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — A plan to seize up to 10 percent of savings accounts in Cyprus to help pay for a €15.8 billion ($20.4 billion) financial bailout was met with fury Monday, and the government shut down banks until later this week while lawmakers wrangled over how to keep the island nation from bankruptcy.

Though the euro and stock prices of European banks fell, global financial markets largely remained calm, and there was little sense that bank account holders elsewhere across the continent faced similar risk.

Political leaders in Cyprus scrambled to devise a new plan that would not be

so burdensome for people with less than €100,000 ($129,290) in the bank.

The authorities delayed a parliamentary vote on the seizure of €5.8 billion ($7.5 billion)and ordered banks to remain shut until Thursday while they try to modify the deal, which must be approved by other eurozone governments. Once a deal is in place, they will be ready to lend Cyprus €10 billion ($13 billion) in rescue loans.

A rejection of the package could see the country go bankrupt and possibly drop out of the euro currency — an outcome that would be even more damaging to financial markets’ confidence. see CYPRUS page 13

Goffstown superintendent takes Newfound job BRISTOL — The current superintendent of schools for SAU 19 — Goffstown, Dunbarton and New Boston — has been chosen to lead the Newfound Area School District (SAU 4). Stacy Buckley was picked from a field of 16 candidates, according to a statement released on Monday by the school board. Her contract will begin on July 1.

Buckley replaces Marie Ross, who took ill suddenly last fall and tragically died of brain cancer in January.

Philip McCormack, who retired as superintendent of the Inter-Lakes School District at the end of the 2011-2012 school year, has been been serving Newfound as interim superintendent.

“A 14 person screening committee that consisted of a wide variety of public officials, citizens, staff, parents, school administrators and principals as well as two of seven School Board members were given the challenging task of selecting candidates it felt could effectively or successfully perform in the role as our superintendent,” said Vincent Paul Migliore, SAU and school board chairman. “With independence and little restriction, the committee narrowed its choices to a first round of in-person interviews after screening all applications received.

Charged with maintaining confidentially throughout and forever after the process to avoid any personal liability of non-compliance with RSA 91-A:3, II(b), Migliore said the Screening Committee preCOLORADO from page 2 “I think it will make it more difficult for people to get guns who shouldn’t have them, and that’s really the goal,” said Democratic Rep. Beth McCann on the expanded background checks.

Magazine limits would reduce gun violence and have an impact during mass shootings, because they would force gunmen to reload more times, she said.

“It’s an interruption in the spraying of bullets.”

Hickenlooper spokesman Eric Brown confirmed Monday that the governor would sign the measures.

Colorado’s gun controls, which become effective July 1, are the first beyond the East Coast approved this year. They also are getting approval as Congress embarks on its own gun debate in Washington, where Colorado Democrat’s proposals were closely watched because the state was seen as a bellwether.

The Colorado laws include a ban on ammunition magazines that can carry more than 15 rounds, and eight shotgun shells. The bill on background checks

sented four candidates, each of whom it felt could lead the district for the SAU Board to consider. “Ms. Buckley became one of three finalists for the position who visited all the schools, met with staff and some interested members of the public, and who were all publicly interviewed by the board,” he said.

“We tried hard to keep the process consistent for each of the finalists we considered,” Migliore said.

“We wanted to have a thorough and sound basis to compare each of the candidates equally and fairly to make the best possible decision on behalf of the children in our district.”

Migliore said it was clear that Buckley, a Concord resident, had the skill sets to math the needs of the Newfound district, including years of experience in special education — beginning with her time as a school psychologist and then a special education director in the Belmont School District and SAU#19; experience at the administrative level — all within the state of NH, beginning with her time as an assistant superintendent, interim superintendent and then as superintendent for SAU #19 for the past several years.

Newfound is a single co-operative school district serving the towns of Alexandria, Bridgewater, Bristol, Danbury, Groton, Hebron and New Hampton with six physical buildings that house a population of about 1,250 students, down from 1,309 at the start of the school year in October, 2012. expands the requirement to sales and transfers between private parties and online purchases.

Republicans reviled both bills and argued the proposals would not prevent more shootings, but hurt law-abiding citizens’ exercise of their Second Amendment rights.

“We’re obviously very disappointed. I think we demonstrated time and time again all of the issues associated with” the magazine limits, said Republican Rep. Mark Waller, the GOP leader in the House.

“They’re doing this without any proof that banning this is going to have any impact on public safety,” he said.

Republicans seemed resigned from the start that the bills would become law, though. Hickenlooper said previously he would sign the magazine limit, and he specifically asked the Legislature to expand background checks in his annual address.

“Our only hope now is if his pen runs out of ink,” said a rueful Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction.

Belmont police will raise funds to get rid of gray pants

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Selectmen decided last night to let the Police Department starts its own effort to raise about $7,000 to switch their gray pants with the red racing strip down the side for some new dark blue pants.

“We’re calling it the Belmont P.D. Ditch the Gray Pants Campaign,” said Selectman Vice Chair Ruth Mooney who said she had spoken to Chief Lewandowski about it.

She said the goal would be to raise enough money to replace the pants, ties and logos for the 15 current police officers. While there is $10,000 annually in the police budget for uniforms, she said that money is typically set aside for new hires or for emergency uniform replacements.

Mooney said Lewandowski has a good and energetic young police department and thinks the new uniforms would look better on them.

Selectmen Jon Pike and Ron Cormier supported the idea as long as it didn’t come from tax dollars.

In other business, Selectmen acknowledged at

letter from the Sanbornton selectmen who said there may have been some “misunderstanding” about their desire to discuss the future of having a regionalized fire station in the Winnisquam area for Belmont, Tilton-Northfield, and Sanbornton.

Belmont Selectmen declined to discuss the letter saying only that they would accept it as written.

“There may or may not have been a misunderstanding,” said Selectman Chair Ron Cormier.

The letter said that because of economics the town of Sanbornton was not financially able to participate in the purchase of new fire boat for use on Lake Winnisquam but remains interested in keeping the lines of communication open regarding a fire station.

Since the voters rejected the $25,000 Belmont requested for a fire boat at last weeks election — it looks likes its replacement is a dead issue for at least this year.

Sanbornton selectmen said they were willing to form a study committee should Belmont and Tilton-Northfield wish to continue discussions about ambulance and fire coverage.

Police charge teen hosted parties in seasonal Belmont house BELMONT — Police have charged a 17-year-old local with one count of burglary and one count of prohibited sales for allegedly breaking in to a seasonal home on Tucker Shore Road and using it for underage drinking parties.

A media release issued yesterday by Belmont Police indicated police were made aware of the suspicious activity by a concerned neighbor.

Police were able to determine Timothy Champagne, 17, of 110 Elaine Drive in Belmont was allegedly responsible and he turned himself into Belmont Police Saturday. He was charged, released on personal recognizance bail and given a court date of

April 18.

Police ask that seasonal residents keep their driveways plowed during the winter and have people periodically check on the property. If any one sees anything that may be suspicious, they are asked to call the Belmont Police at 267-3850.

The common denominator About half of all new businesses fail within their first five years. The reasons are myriad.

The basic reason for starting a business is to find a market need and to fill it. Many of the business failures are because there just wasn’t a market need, or if there was a need, it was already being filled by others in a cost effective way. Quite often the failures are due to inadequate financing, poor management, and so on. The bottom line is that the failures occur because the businesses failed to make a profit. The entrepreneurs who invested their time, talent, and savings, bite the bullet and close shop. Many will try again.

Lately, it seems that success in business is demonized rather that complimented. The fact that business success creates and provides jobs, pays taxes at the highest rate in the world, contributes an equal amount to each employee’s Social Security and Medicare taxes, often provides a retirement plan for the employees or contributes to each employee’s 401K retirement plans, provides paid vacation, sick, and personal days, and, historically, over 60 percent of all businesses have made available and contributed to employer sponsored health care plans. With all those positive values, why would anyone not be a strong advocate for businesses to succeed.

Today, our reported unemployment rate hovers around 7.9 percent. That number represents about 12.3 million people. Added to that number are 8 million more Americans who are trying to get by on part time employment. Added together we have about 13 percent of our labor force either underemployed of unemployed. In addition to the personal hardships those numbers represent, it also means that for every one of those not fully employed, the cost burden for unemployment compensation, food stamps, and other assistance benefits falls on businesses and those they employ; roughly seven contributors for each one in need.

A win-win situation would be to reduce the regulatory burdens on businesses so that they could provide more private sector jobs. Each job reduces the under-employed and unemployed numbers, which increases the numbers of people paying taxes and decreases the number of workers needed to contribute to those in need of assistance. Adding more government jobs at the local, state, or federal level does not diminish the problems, it only makes them worse.

Another issue to ponder is the rise in the stock market to record levels. Is it because businesses are

booming? Is it because businesses are hiring at an accelerated rate?

Is it because market demands for goods and services have dramatically increased? While there has been some slight improvement in those things, the basic answer is, no.

It appears that the stock market growth may be fed by the fact that people’s savings are drawing almost no interest at their banks. The reason for that is the banks can get money from the Federal Reserve at virtually no interest. Why would they pay people to give them their savings and pay a reasonable rate of return, if they can get “free” money from the Federal Reserve?

People who have been prudent, cautious savers may now be turning to investing in the more risky business of buying and selling of stocks, hoping for dividends that are more attractive than what banks are paying in interest, and hoping too, that the stocks will continue to appreciate in value.

Only time will tell.

Another thing to ponder is the housing market. Most estimates are that housing values dropped around 30 percent after the housing bubble burst in 2007. Prior to that burst, easy mortgage money created a boom that saw the average number of new homes being built rise from an average of 609,000 per year between 1990 and 1995, up to a staggering 1,283,000 in 2005.

With that growth, prices escalated, and that inflated home values.

In 2005 alone, citizens refinanced their homes and took out $750 billion, yes billion, of their home equity. Compare that to 1996 when home owners withdrew $106 billion in equity from their homes.

Unfortunately, the $750 billion was mainly spent on personal items and not reinvested.

When the housing bubble burst, and home values dropped, a recession ensued, and job losses followed.

This created a situation where many were unable to pay their mortgages and, because of the drop in housing values, they were unable to sell their homes for the prices they needed to repay what they owed.

The common denominator in all of these ponderables is that in some way or another, the government has imposed itself and helped to create situations that have negatively impacted the citizenry. Somehow, it seems that government planners never look at the potential negatives that may result from their noble desires. That failure has resulted in unintended consequences that continue to plague us.

LETTERS SVdP has produced this kind of success in Laconia for 20+ years To the editor, In its February issue, Business NH Magazine carried an interesting article (“Commercializing Nonprofits”) about how non-profit organizations are becoming more creative and efficient in supporting their varied missions. One of the aspects explored by the article was the effective use of thrift stores to generate needed support for their programs.

I responded to the article, complementing the editor on the importance of the issue. However, I also reminded him that they had missed the ultimate example of the theme in New Hampshire that exists right here in the Lakes Region (ever notice how the Lakes Region many times goes unnoticed as compared with the south?) — the Laconia Conference of St. Vincent de Paul. The examples Business NH Magazine had used in the article were relative “newcomers” located in the southern tier of the state, while St. Vincent de Paul in Laconia has been accomplishing this kind of success for over 20 years.

The SVdP thrift store generates about $200,000 in sales each year (in a much smaller populated area than Manchester and/or Concord), not counting about $25,000 in clothing, furniture, etc. given away to those in

need — all donated items. Proceeds go to support their food pantry, financial assistance, and children’s programs (over 2500 kids helped last year) — all among the largest private non-profit programs in the state (the food pantry gives away about $200,000 in food to over 10,000 people per year).

How much of the revenues go for programs vis-a-vis administrative costs?

Virtually all, as they have no paid management or no paid employees!

The entire organization relies on volunteers — about 120. In fact, they have never paid a dime in salaries/wages in their 22 years. They also own their own building, so no rent. It should also be noted that they receive no federal or state operating funds, and you won’t find them in the local municipal warrant articles requesting funding as well.

And no food from the NH Food Bank.

Finally, it goes without saying, that the people of the Lakes Region have always supported St. Vincent de Paul with their extremely generous donations of food, clothes, furniture, and — of course — cash.

On guns, ‘progressive’ politicians have been ‘big hat & no cattle’ To the editor, Last week, the N.H. House voted on the repeal of the “stand your ground” law. Let’s hope that they voted in the affirmative on this law and in the future will strike down other insanities that the Republican Party perpetrated on us when they were supposed to be “creating jobs”.

As usual. it’s the gun industry and their lackey mouthpiece. the so called “civil rights” organization known as the NRA that won’t be happy if these laws and others like them are struck down. It’s amazing how a relatively small industry such as the gun manufacturers can wield such power in Congress. They employ only seven one thousandths of one percent —roughly 10,000 — workers of the total American workforce and their influence is far greater than it should be.

The gun industry obviously can’t

would be biting the hand that feeds it. Instead, they instill fear in NRA members who lash out against the changing demographics of the last 50 years in this country. They see the gun as a way “to fight back” against people who don’t look like them.

Who to blame for this sorry state of affairs? It would be easy to blame the NRA but my vote would go to the so called “progressive politicians” who have far too long passed under the radar screen. They’re like the proverbial cowboy — big hat, no cattle.

Long on words short on action. The gun industry will eventually collapse under its own weight. They can’t continue to stay in business by simply making more lethal and deadly weapons. Perhaps then our progressive politicians will do what they’re supposed to do — be progressive.

LETTERS Northfield Town Meeting went smoothly & budget is down 1.4%

Please participate in Winnisquam meeting on Saturday morning

To the editor, This is one of my most favorite times of the year. Town and district meetings are a time for us to see some folks we have not seen in quite some time — a time for friends and neighbors to get together and make decisions about out town and district. I nearly ran over Nancy Court on my way in to the Northfield Town meeting Saturday! Sorry again Nancy.

In Northfield, we all heard a great idea from Lee French about recycling signs toward the end of the meeting. A lot of great questions were asked and there was little disagreement which was nice! Our Moderator, Scott McGuffin did a great job as usual and only had to use the gavel a couple of times. And we got a chance to say goodbye to Chief Adams and Selectman Geoff Ziminsky.

So far, it’s been great. At the time I write this, the Fire District meeting and School District meetings have not happened. However, if the others go as smoothly as Northfield’s Town meeting went, this is going to be a great year.

For those who did not attend town meeting this year, our budget (based upon money to be raised by taxes) went DOWN by around 1.4 percent and we were able to give a small raise to our employees. That is huge compared to what other towns and districts are doing. We also added money back into the budget for the library and to finally put the lawsuit with the sewer district and state behind us. There were some interesting petitioned warrant articles but the petitioners were not there which was disappointing. I would like to see them come back with a little more specificity and refine-

To the editor, To my friends and constituents in Sanbornton, you may not be thinking much about the affairs of local government right now, as we do our town business (voting and meeting) in May! But I want to make certain that you have not forgotten that there is still an important meeting on Saturday March 23 at 9 a.m. at the Winnisquam Regional School District that needs your attention and participation.

For the voters in Tilton and Northfield, your March meeting season is not yet complete even after town meetings and the fire district meeting are complete. I remind you as well of the importance of your attendance and participation at the Annual Meeting of the Winnisquam Regional School District on Saturday March 23 in the high school gymnasium beginning at 9 a.m.

The School District Report for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2012 is available at town offices, the SAU Office in Tilton and local libraries. It contains the information on the warrant articles and budget to be voted upon. Support-

ment next year.

Many of my neighbors at last year’s meeting wanted the town to do a comprehensive study of our roads and come up with a plan to prioritize repairs and replacement before we spent any more money. Wouldn’t you know they listened! The CIP committee and Bob Southworth did just that! They came up with a 10-15 year plan with projected costs and a plan on how we can do it without borrowing any money. This is a big deal. We owe Bob and the committee a tremendous thank you, pat on the back and encouragement to continue with this work. We have many road projects to do this year and more to come.

Planning Board Chair Wayne Crowley presented the Master Plan Survey.

Although much has not changed with the overall sentiment there were some surprises that will be included in the Master plan that will be complete this year. More great work from our Planning Board.

It looks like outgoing Police Chief Steve Adams got us a great deal on a new cruiser and Bob got a deal on a new dump truck!

Speaking of Chief Adams, I wish him well in his retirement. He served us well for over 20 years. Also, Geoff Ziminsky is leaving the Selectboard after three years. Thanks for your service as well Geoff; you served us well. We also got to welcome our newest Selectman Kevin Waldron. Good Luck Kevin!

Hey, did I mention the budget was down 1.4 percent. Thanks for a great meeting. See you at School District Meeting this Saturday.

County budget process needs to follow rules and precedents To the editor, Regardless of where one falls on the political spectrum, there is reason to be concerned about the Belknap County Convention’s failure to follow standard rules of procedure as it conducts business. And, regardless of how one feels about the Belknap County budget, there is reason to be concerned about a budgetary “process” that follows no rules and acknowledges no precedents.

Rep. Worsman, currently chair of the Belknap County Convention, should know better. She has chaired the Meredith Selectboard and sits on the House Finance Committee, both of which have standardized rules of procedure. Failure to follow such rules leads to an appearance of an agenda

that is driven by forces other than the best interests of the county.

Rep. David Huot is a former judge who understands both rules of procedure and impartiality. He can read a statute and determine its applicability to a situation. He is the perfect candidate to chair the Belknap County Convention going forward to ensure fair, impartial and standardized procedures in the conduct of county business.

Whether it is the budget, the prison proposal or the proposed sale of the State School property, Belknap County has critical decisions ahead and needs unbiased and rule-abiding leadership in the weeks and months ahead.

Kate Miller Meredith

I will nominate Rep. Huot for chair of the Belknap Co. Convention To the editor, It has been quite troubling to read all of the headlines and newspaper stories concerning the business of the Belknap County Delegation this year. It has been even more difficult to attempt to participate in the delegation meetings: secret ballots, lawsuits, a lack of rules, and not following an agenda. The delegation has now hired its own legal council, as have the commissioners, and have been advised to take a new vote for delegation officers, this time in public.

day evening at the Belknap County Complex at 5 p.m.. It is my intention to nominate Representative David Huot of Laconia as the new chair of the delegation. Representative Huot has been a well respected judge in Belknap County and can be trusted to act legally and fairly.

It would be nice if the voters of Belknap County would show up and support a change in leadership or call their local representatives to express their support.

Rep. Beth Arsenault

Please participate in Winnisquam meeting on Saturday morning To the editor, After years of study, Senator Feinstein has identified the real cause of mass killings. Quoting Senator Feinstein, “It’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.” (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=ieHhIqxR7kY) Apparently all we need is a law saying it is no longer legal to hunt (kill) humans using a large capacity magazine. You can probably get bipartisan support for this law.

With this, Senator Feinstein has outdone her last brilliant solution, “gun free zones”, which ensured that mass killers would be safe for that critical 10 to 20 minutes they needed to achieve their dreams of fame.

I feel so much safer knowing that Senator Feinstein is on the job. In her hands all Americans will be as safe as the children in Newtown, CT. Don Ewing Meredith

Opening a window to Lakes Region manufacturing might A glimpse of the global marketplace was on display this past week when Belknap EDC sponsored several tours of local manufacturers who process and ship their products around the world. Being a nearly life-long resident of the Lakes Region and never having set foot inside some of the host manufacturers, I am probably more the norm of a typical resident who wonders,”what do they do inside those walls?”

I must say that I was totally surprised and impressed with much of what I saw and heard from those conducting tours of our manufacturing plants. First, to note that each of those companies I visited produce top quality components that are used all around the world, including some out of this world such as in the space lab and shuttles, was impressive. These precision products require high scrutiny in the manufacturing process and to my second point, the continuous quality improvement techniques used to harness their corners of the world’s competitive market was astounding. In all cases, our hosts spoke with great pride in their work, in their people, and in their products.

They were sensitive to quality on all levels including protecting the environment, not only here in our own back yard but wherever their companies exist throughout the world.

Belknap EDC along with Granite United Way, Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, Huot Technical Center, Lakes Region Community College, Meredith Career Partnership, and others have been working collectively with local businesses to expand the career exploration and internship possibilities for local students through an initiative we call 200 X 2020. We hope to engage a minimum of 200 businesses in the fully array of cradle to career opportunities for students by 2020 so that we can assure a vibrant economy through a highly skilled workforce in a revived manufacturing climate right here in the Lakes Region.

While several local students participated in the plant tours, seeking an advantage in planning their higher education and career

opportunities, not nearly enough benefitted from this wonderful experience to see the future in the making. Manufacturing is making a rebound in the U.S. and right here at home. Our companies universally stated their need for skilled employees. Students hearing their presentations know very clearly the academic and behavioral experiences needed to compete in the advanced manufacturing arena.

Over and over we heard minimal requirements including middle math, blueprint literacy, computer skills, communications, critical thinking, problem solving and positive attitudes being essential entry level basics and everything on up.

Our youth don’t have to leave the area to find highly skilled, excellent paying jobs with benefits and clean working conditions but they do have to be ready to compete in an ever-increasingly competitive environment.

If you missed the manufacturing open houses this year, be the first to attend next time they are offered.

Parents and teachers: be sure to give your students access to this inspiring experience. It will be one of the best opportunities you have to expose them to their future workforce opportunities in the exciting field of advanced manufacturing.

It will help them select prerequisite academic courses while still in high school and it will certainly point them to and prepare them for appropriate higher education programs.

I want to sincerely thank Belknap EDC and all the manufacturers who opened their facilities to this year’s Open House Tour and urge you to consider doing more of this in the future. It was eye-opening and impressive. It is incumbent on us all to support this industry for there to be hope for the future growth and development of our local economy.

Advanced manufacturing is vibrant and on the cutting edge of tomorrow’s technology. Let’s make sure that its future is ours as well!

(Alan Robichaud is community development director for Granite United Way.)

Tilton voters accept Pay-As-YouThrow as a cost saving measure

BY ROGER AMSDEN TILTON — By a nearly 2-1 margin, a small turnout of voters at Saturday’s Town Meeting endorsed a Pay As You Throw plan for solid waste pickup.

The 70-37 standing division vote came after a presentation by Marjorie Bonneville, chairman of the town’s Recycle Committee, which was established by selectmen four years ago to promote recycling to reduce the rapidly escalating costs of solid waste disposal.

She told voters that the program works in 47 other communities around the state and had helped to increase the amount of recycling and reduce the cost of solid waste disposal.

Bonneville pointed out that the cost of solid waste disposal, which is expected to continue to rise and is pegged at $312,000 in this year’s budget, makes it the largest item exclusive of department salaries in the budget.

She said that the town currently has a voluntary recycling program which removes about 10 percent of the recyclables from the solid waste stream and said that the committee expects that it will rise to at least 30 percent with Pay as You Throw, saving the town thousands lof dollars.

Bonneville said that the program would see bi-weekly single stream recycling and weekly solid waste pickups of town-approved garbage bags and that it a proven, cost-effective program which was supported by both the town selectmen and the budget

committee.

Selectmen Joseph Jesseman said that the committee had looked at many options and that Pay As You Throw was the best.

Some voters objected to having to pay for the specially marked bags but Bonneville said it was more fair than the present system in which those who generate little solid waste subsidize those who generate a lot.

The new system will take effect on June 1.

Voters earlier in the meeting defeated a petitioned warrant article which called for assessing sewer betterment fees only on those whose sewage enters the municipal system. Voters from the Lochmere area were especially vehement in their opposition, like Paul Byers who said that his fees would increase by $500 to $1,000 a year.

The petitioned article drew only 35 votes and was opposed by 125 voters.

Also approved was $15,000 for the Tilton-Northfield Island Park capital reserve fund, $35,000 for the highway equipment capital reserve fund, $65,000 for town roads, streets and bridges reconstruction and repair and $20,000 for a capital reserve fund.

A warrant article which was supported by selectmen but opposed by the Budget Committee and called for spending $20,000 for creating a snow storage area was defeated by a voice vote.

Voters approved a $5.1 million operating budget, which was up $25,000 over last year’s.

COOPERATION from page one would sweep Meredith’s roads.

In return, Myers said that Meredith, which has many more miles of gravel roads than Laconia, may grade the city’s gravel roads. He suggested said that if the arrangement of swapping equipment and service proves successful, the city could be spared the necessity of replacing its aged grader. Myers offered sharing specialized equipment, like the street sweeper and vacuum truck, for clearing storm drains, as a fruitful avenue

of cooperation.

Likewise, Myer said that directors of public works Paul Moynihan of Laconia and Sheldon Morgan of Gilford were discussing a joint bid for long-line road striping — the yellow center ins and white fog lines — a prospect Beaudoin presented to the Belmont selectmen last night.

“We’ve had productive meetings,” Myers said. “I’m pleased we got this much momentum. It’s not so much regionalization as neighbor helping neighbor.”

BAIL from page one Prosecutor Bob Libby argued that the $10,000 personal recognizance bail set by Gordon on Friday should be converted to $10,000 cash because Linville misrepresented to the court that he would be staying with his aunt in Laconia.

Libby said he spoke to the aunt and she doesn’t want Linville to stay with her.

As on Friday, Linville was represented by Belknap County Public Defender Kate Geraci, who said she had spoken with Linville’s mother who said he could live with her and had been living with her in Meredith.

Geraci said he was only 17, was working on getting his GED and had appointment for a job at a local store.

She said he was seeking counseling from Genesis Behavioral Health and was being treated for anger management. Geraci also noted that he has no money.

Libby said last week his mother had

said “no” to him staying with her.

After some contemplation, Gordon agreed in part with Libby, saying that Linville needed some kind of deterrent to keep him away from the Center Harbor girl and set bail at $2,000 cash.

Linville is also charged out of Meredith for stealing two laptops from Inter-Lakes High School in the end of December of 2012 and for stealing an iPod and some jewelry from the home of a friend.

In January, he was charged with simple assault against his girlfriend and that when he was ordered to stay away from her. He returned to he home of February 16, said affidavits, and was charged with breach of bail.

On March 13, Center Harbor Police Chief Mark Chase got word that Linville was with his ex-girlfriend and went to her home. The girl’s mother told him Linville had been staying see next page

But smokers and cigarette sellers said the measure was overreaching.

“I don’t disagree that smoking itself is risky, but it’s a legal product,” said Audrey Silk, who’s affiliated with a smokers-rights group that has sued the city over previous regulations.

“Tobacco’s been normal for centuries. ... It’s what he’s doing that’s not normal.”

ing proposal was also a sign that a mayor who has built a reputation as a public health crusader isn’t backing off after a high-profile setback last week, when a judge struck down the city’s novel effort to ban supersized, sugary drinks. The city is appealing that decision.

“We’re doing these health things to save lives,” he said Monday.

Bloomberg, a billionaire who also has given $600 million of his own money to anti-smoking efforts around the world, began taking on tobacco use shortly after he became mayor in 2002. Adult smoking rates have since fallen by nearly a third — from 21.5 percent in 2002 to 14.8 percent in 2011, Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said.

But the youth rate has remained flat, at 8.5 percent, since 2007. Some 28,000 city public high school students tried smoking for the first time in 2011, city officials say.

FRANKLIN — A Tilton man was held on $5,000 cash-only bail after appearing yesterday in the 6th circuit Court, Franklin Division after allegedly threatening a Laconia man with a knife on Varney Court Friday night.

Police affidavits said two officers went to Orange Court to meet with two of the people who initially made the complaint. The duty sergeant met the two officers at 21 Varney Court.

The supervisor said he could see one officer looking in a window and report to the other officer that he could see Samly Sysouphanh, 50, of 12 White Rock Road holding a knife.

He is charged with one count of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon.

The sergeant took custody of Sysouphanh, who told him he was threatening people with the knife because he thought they were going to beat him up.

At the station, Sysouphanh waived his rights and agreed to speak with police. Affidavits said he told them he was about nine feet away from the four people he allegedly threatened and had told them to leave. He said he would slice them if they didn’t.

When one officer recovered the knife from the home and gave it to the supervisor, he said Sysouphanh identified it as his. The knife was about 10 inches long and police said it was normally used in a kitchen.

from preceding page could help change that, anti-smoking advocates say, citing studies that link exposure to smoking with starting it.

While some of the research focuses on cigarette advertising, an English study of 11-to-15-year-olds published last month in the journal Tobacco Control found that simply noticing tobacco products on display every time a youth visited a shop raised the odds he or she would at least try smoking by threefold, compared to peers who never noticed the products.

“What’s exciting about this (New York City proposal) is that this is the most comprehensive set of tobaccocontrol regulations that affect stores or the retail outlets,” said Kurt Ribisi, a professor of public health and cancer prevention specialist at the University of North Carolina. Moreover, cigarettes’ visibility can trigger impulse buys by smokers who are trying to quit, he and city officials say.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, the American Lung

Association, other anti-smoking groups and several City Council members applauded Bloomberg’s announcement, made at a Queens hospital. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who largely controls what goes to a vote, said through her office that she “supports the goal of these bills” but noted they would get a full review.

Measures in other countries have been coupled with bars on in-store advertising, but those nations have different legal standards around advertising and free speech. The New York proposal would still allow shops to display cigarette advertising and signs saying tobacco products were sold, raising the question of how effective it will be just to put the products under wraps.

But convenience store owners fear it could affect their business, by potentially leaving customers uncertain whether the shop carries their favorite brand and making them wait while a proprietor digs out a pack, said Jeff Lenard, a spokesman for the National Association of Convenience stores.

1,500 runners signed up for 26.4.26 Marathon Relay GILFORD — In an expression of solidarity with the victims of last year’s shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., local educators are organizing a relay marathon on April 14. The event, titled 26.4.26 Marathon Relay, will see as many as 1,500 participants come to the region for the event. Each of the 340 registered teams will run a mile for each of the victims of the Newtown shooting.

The run will begin and end at the

gazebo on Belknap Mountain Road, with event headquarters at the nearby Gilford Elementary School. Participants will run along Morrill Street into Laconia, follow a route that visits each of Laconia’s three elementary schools, and run back to Gilford Elementary via Gilford Avenue/Route 11A. Silent auctions will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 13 at Patrick’s Pub and Eatery, where participants will register, and all day at Gilford Elementary School.

GILFORD — Gunstock Mountain Resort has had an adaptive sports program for a decade, yet it’s not a well-known part of the mountain community. Mary MacDonald first learned of the program about five years ago, when she was riding a chairlift and observed a ski instructor she knew, Charlie Bedirian, using a couple of tethers to help a girl make her way down the slope.

Even from the chairlift, MacDonald could hear the laughter and shrieks of joy coming from the girl. The young skier was blind, MacDonald later learned, and thanks to the adaptive snow sports program, Bedirian was helping her to experience downhill skiing for her first time.

“My hear just swelled at the thought of it,” said MacDonald. “I was completely overwhelmed. It’s just an amazing thing to see.” MacDonald is the operations manager for Centerplate, the company that operates the Powder Keg restaurant and Pistol Pub at Gunstock. So, when she heard that the adaptive sports program was breaking out from Gunstock’s umbrella and re-organizing itself as the non-profit Lakes Region Disabled Sports, she brought the idea of helping fund raise to her staff. Not only did they accept the idea, MacDonald said, the food service employees at Gunstock took ownership of concept, coming up with new and better ways of collecting funds for the program.

MacDonald’s initial goal of $2,000 was quickly passed. Just as quick was $3,000, then $4,000. Over the course

of the winter, her staff and patrons chipped in $5,800, which was recently presented to the organization.

Paige Davis, program manager for Lakes Region Disabled Sports, said the money “helps us tremendously,” and will likely be used to help upgrade equipment, especially those used to assist her students who use a wheelchair when they’re not skiing. What’s even more significant to the program is the food service staff’s intention to form a long-term fundraising relationship with Lakes Region Disabled Sports, a partnership which will help raise the organization’s profile in the community as well as directly fund its operation.

Centerplate raised the funds by inviting diners to contribute $2 to the program. Many chose to go well beyond that figure, giving as much as $100 in several instances. Similarly generous were the winners of all four of the 50-50 raffles held at the Powder Keg on Saturday nights in February, a month the resort dedicated to “Adaptive Awareness”: each of the four raffle winners elected to donate the winnings back to the program.

Davis, and the roughly 45 volunteer instructors that participate in the program, teach students with a wide range of disabilities how to ski. Some have learning disabilities, others have physical challenges. All of them, though, are treated to a twohour lesson on Gunstock’s slopes. For many, the lesson is a gateway into a new sport, and they’ll move on to racing through the Special Olympics. The program has been steadily see next page

DENTURE WEARER’S DENTAL WORRIES If you wear dentures, you need less frequent dental visits than patients with their natural teeth, but you still need attention from time to time. The foundation of supporting tissue under a denture changes as time goes by, but the denture doesn’t change. The changes in your jaw happen slowly and you may not be aware of them, but a denture that fit well a couple of years ago may not fit so well today. An ill fitting denture can cause problems with speech, reduced ability to chew, and trauma to the supporting gum tissue. In time, this invites other oral problems such as yeast infections and gingival hyperplasia (gums growing where they shouldn’t). A dentist can determine if your denture is still fitting properly and functioning well. Together, you can explore ways to solve any problems that may have developed (treatments vary depending on the nature of the problem). In addition to examining your denture, the dentist will examine your mouth for any oral abnormalities, infections or suspicious growths.

This is important since most oral cancer is found in people over the age of 40, and early diagnosis and treatment is essential. As a denture wearer, you should always brush your gums, tongue and palate every day with a softbristled brush before you insert your denture. In summary, a well-fitted denture in a healthy mouth helps you look and feel your best – why settle for less? Have you had your dentures checked out lately?

The Lakes Region Youth Hockey Association Fay’s Boat Yard Mite 1 Team started their quest to be the Squirt Tier 4 GSL champs on Friday at Everett Arena as the second seed. First up in the round-robin round was the Rochester Blackhawks Squirt team.

Scorers for this game were Matthew Hale with two goals and one assist, Peyton Vachon with two goals and Logan Stroud with one goal. The Lakers were able to edge out the Blackhawks with a score of 5-4.

Saturday morning the Lakers’ next opponent was the tough Henniker Squirt 1 team. Scorers in this game were Hale with three goals with one assisted

by Logan Stroud, Peyton Vachon and Zachary Spicuzza with one goal apiece with assists from Breanna Ricker and Griffin Tondreau. The Lakers beat the Henniker team with a score of 5-2.

The Lakers’ two wins put them in the semi-finals against the NH Avalanche. Hale scored three goals with two assisted from Kameron Young, Vachon scored two unassisted goals and Spicuzza scored one goal unassisted. Despite a last ditch effort from the

Avalanche, the Lakers were headed to the championship game with a score of 6-4.

On Sunday the Mites played their final game of the season in the GSL Championship Squirt Tier 4 game against the undefeated Jr. Monarchs Mite Major team.

The Monarchs were able to squeak a goal by Lakers goalie Patrick Goodwin six minutes into the game but the Mites fought back to tie up the game with an unassisted goal by Hale. Goodwin had 61 saves through four games in the championship weekend. The Monarchs netted another goal to lead the game with a score of 2-1 after the first period. The Monarchs added five goals in the second period. In the third period the Lakers worked to get the fire going with a quick goal from Hale and another goal a couple minutes later from Vachon, both goals unassisted. The Monarchs added a couple more goals in the third period and won the championship game with a final score of 9-3.

The Lakers ended their season as the runner-up in the GSL Tier 4 Squirt Division and 2nd place in the regular season. A huge thank-you to Merrill Fay and Fay’s Boat Yard for their sponsorship and support this season and to the dedicated Mite 1 coaching staff of John Guerin, Craig Hale, Rich Ricker, Matt Tondreau and Joe Spicuzza.

from preceding page growing since it was started ten years ago, this year adaptive instructors have taught 300 lessons.

Even if they’ll never medal, Davis said the program provides a thrill for her students. Often, the student is a member of a skiing family, and might otherwise be left in the lodge while the rest of the family hits the slopes. Thanks to the adaptive program, every member of the family gets to share in the experience.

The cost for students to participate in the program is $66, an inclusive price which includes two hours of instruction, lift ticket and equipment rental. It’s a bargain, to be sure, but Davis would like to partner with a corporate sponsor to allow free adaptive lessons to disabled military veterans. “I really want to open up our lessons to that group of people. It really needs to be provided to the veterans at no cost,” said Davis. “In all honesty, I think they’re entitled to that because of their service.”

President of the board of directors for Lakes

Region Disabled Sports, Chuck Hildreth said adaptive skiing changed his life. An avid skier in his younger days, he lost both arms in an accident and was intimidated by skiing afterward. However, due in part to the cajoling of his ski buddies, he participated in a disabled racing event in 1986. His success eventually led to being part of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team, which required Hildreth to go back to school.

Hildreth is now a husband and father of two, business owner and one of the Powder Keg’s more popular patrons. He said he wouldn’t be where he is now if not for his wife, and adaptive skiing.

“One of the most important things it does is teach goal-setting,” Hildreth said. After his accident, he said he “was scared to death” to point his skis down hill. Yet, he learned how much he could accomplish, even without arms.

“It literally turned my life around,” Hildreth said. “The disabled ski program turns people lives around.”

Rite-Aid developer states crosswalk agreement with Meredith will stipulate company picks up all costs

By Michael Kitch MEREDITH — The Board of Selectman and Newlands Development Holdings, the developer of the Rite-Aid drugstore on Route 25, yesterday stepped closer to an agreement to ensure that Newlands bears the costs associated with the pedestrian crossing on the highway that’s included in the project.

Speaking at a workshop, Ken Linesman, representing the developer, told the board that the aim of the draft agreement is to “make sure sure it is down right and we pay for it.”

To address the safety issue, the plan includes extending the 30 mile-per-hour speed limit further eastward and installing an elaborate signaled crosswalk. Two beacons will be placed on Route 25, one at the crosswalk near the shared entrance to the Rite-Aid drugstore and the Irving travel plaza and another 400 feet up the hill to the east. When a pedestrian seeking to cross Route 25 presses the button to activate the beacon at the crosswalk, both beacons will flash yellow for four seconds then turn yellow for six seconds, warning oncoming vehicles before turning red to stop traffic and signaling “walk” to pedestrians.

The crosswalk, signals and sidewalks will be installed within the state right-of-way and on town property and owned by the state and the town. Consequently, because the developer will own neither the land nor the equipment, it cannot indemnify the town against liability. Town Manager Phil Warren remarked that if an accident occurred at the crossing, everyone — the state, town and Rite-Aid as well as the manufacturer of the equipment and the firm that painted the crosswalk — would be sued, rendering the liability issue moot.

The agreement provides that the developer will pay the costs of operating, maintaining and inspect-

ing the traffic signals as well as painting the crosswalk. The town would forward invoices, along with an administrative fee, to the developer for reimbursement. Selectman Peter Brothers noted that since the town would be compelled to respond in the event of an emergency, the agreement includes a mechanism for reimbursement for unforeseen costs.

The agreement will run with the use of the property and represent a liability to a new owner in the even the property is sold.

With the extension of water service, the agreement provides that Rite-Aid can draw up to 770 gallons a day, most of it apparently for irrigation, which is billed at a higher rate. Brothers suggested that the cost may prompt Rite-Aid to consider sinking a well on the site.

NOTES: Nate Torr, who was re-elected to his second term on the Board of Selectmen last week, was unanimously chosen to chair the board in 2013.

Carla Horne, who is serving the second year of her three-year term was elected vice-chair. . . . . . Town Manager Phil Warren said told the selectmen that he has applied to the New Hampshire Conservation License Plate — “Moose Plate” — Program for funding to repair the brickwork at the Meredith Public Library. The program, funded by the proceeds from the sale of license plates, distributed nearly $300,000 in grants to preserve and protect natural, cultural and historic resources in 2013. . . . . . . The Selectboard accepted $3,458.74 raised by the “Turn Up the Heat Program” for distribution to those in need of assistance in meeting their heating costs. . . . . . . Warren said that the town is seeking to fill vacancies on the planning board, zoning board of adjustment, energy committee, village pathways committee and trustees of the trust fund and urged anyone with interest in any of the openings to contact him at 677-4205.

CYPRUS from page 2 Even while playing down the chance of fresh market turmoil, experts warned that the surprise move broke an important taboo against making depositors pay for Europe’s bailouts. As a result, it may have longer-term consequences for confidence in Europe’s banking system — and its ability to end its financial crisis.

“It’s a precedent for all European countries. Their money in every bank is not safe,” said lawyer Simos

Angelides at an angry protest outside parliament in Cyprus’ capital, Nicosia, where people chanted, “Thieves, thieves!”

Eurozone finance ministers held a telephone conference Monday night, and concluded that small depositors should not be hit as hard as others. They said the Cypriot authorities will stagger the deposit seizures more, but they remained firm in demanding that the overall sum of money raised by the seizures remain the same.

Ohio AG might target Steubenville coach & parents COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The head football coach at Steubenville High School and the owners of a house where an infamous 12-minute video was filmed could be investigated as Ohio prosecutors look into how adults responded to allegations of rape last year.

One day after a judge convicted two high school football players of raping the 16-year-old girl in August, Steubenville’s top official said she welcomed a new, wide-ranging probe into possible wrongdoing connected with the rape.

The announcement of the guilty verdict was barely an hour old Sunday when state Attorney General Mike DeWine said he was continuing his investigation and would consider charges against anyone who failed to speak up after the summertime attack. That group could include other teens, parents, school officials and coaches for the high school’s beloved football team, which has won nine state championships.

Authorities also said they won’t put up with people harassing the accuser and took action Monday to prove it, arresting two girls suspected of threatening her well-being in Facebook and Twitter comments Sunday. The Jefferson County girls, ages 15 and 16, were being held in juvenile detention on allegations of aggravated menacing, Steubenville police Capt.

Joel Walker said.

“These arrests, I hope, will end the harassment of the victim,” DeWine said. “We are simply not going to tolerate this. Enough is enough.”

The case brought international attention to the small city of 18,000 and led to allegations of a coverup to protect the Steubenville High School football team.

According to trial testimony, one of the two football players said the coach knew about what happened and “took care of it.”

The video, passed around widely online, depicted a student joking about the attack. “She is so raped right now,” the boy says.

Investigators interviewed the owners of a Steubenville house where the video was filmed, which was also the same place a photograph was taken of the girl being carried by her ankles and wrists, DeWine’s office confirmed Monday. That picture, Exhibit No. 1 at the trial, generated international outrage. There is no phone listing for the home.

Numerous students, including defendant Trenton Mays, referred to the girl as “dead” in text messages the night of the attacks, apparently in reference to her unconscious state. The girl, who acknowledged drinking, testified she had no memory of the assaults.

A grand jury will meet in mid-April to consider evidence gathered by investigators from dozens of interviews, including with the football program’s 27 coaches, which include junior high, freshman and volunteer coaches.

Text messages introduced at trial suggested the head coach was aware of the rape allegation early on. Reno Saccoccia “took care of it,” Mays said in one text introduced by prosecutors.

DeWine said coaches are among officials required by state law to report suspected child abuse. Saccoccia has not commented.

Steubenville city manager Cathy Davison said residents want to see justice done, and the city will be better off going forward because of the wider investigation.

“Football is important in Steubenville, but I think overall if you looked at the community in and of itself, it’s the education process, the moral fiber of our community, and the heritage of our community, that is even more important,” Davison told The Associated Press.

Steubenville schools Superintendent Mike McVey released a statement Monday reiterating his position that the district was waiting until the trial ended to take action. He declined to address the grand jury investigation.

STUDENT from page 2 the dormitory because he hadn’t enrolled for the current semester. He had never been seen by university counselors and had no disciplinary problems with other students, Heston said.

Detectives found notes and other writings that indicated Seevakumaran had carefully planned an attack and “laid out a timeline of where he was going to be and what he was going to do,” Beary said.

The episode began early Monday, just after midnight, when Seevakumaran pulled a gun on one of his roommates, who holed up in a bathroom and called police, Beary said. Around the same time, Seevakumaran pulled a fire alarm, apparently to get other students out in the open, the police chief said.

In his room, investigators found four makeshift explosive devices in a backpack, a .45-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber tactical rifle, and a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition, Join us for police said. Beary said it our Annual appears his weapon and ammunition purchases began in February.

Antonio Whitehead, 21, said he heard the

fire alarm go off in the dorm and thought it was a routine event.

“All of a sudden, I felt the crowd move a little faster. And a police officer with a machine gun or something told everyone to start moving a lot faster,” he said.

Seevakumaran had attended the university from 2010 through the fall semester as a business student. His roommates told detectives that he had shown antisocial behavior but had never shown any violent tendencies, Beary said.

According to Florida records, his only adult arrest in the state was in 2006 for driving with a suspended license.

Morning classes were canceled, but most campus operations resumed around noon.

LeBron & Heat pull out win in Boston; streak at 23 BOSTON (AP) — LeBron James made the goahead jumper with 10.5 seconds left to lead the Miami Heat to their 23rd consecutive victory, the second-longest streak in NBA history, with a 105103 win over the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

The Heat surpassed the 22 straight that Houston won in 2007-08 and trail only the 33 in a row won by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.

James scored 37 with 12 assists as the Heat won in Boston in the regular season for the first time in 11 tries despite a career-high 43 points from Jeff Green. The Celtics were without Kevin Garnett, who has the flu and a left thigh strain.

Paul Pierce had 17 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the Celtics. But he missed a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left that could have given Boston the win.

Mario Chalmers scored 21 points for Miami, which has not lost since Feb. 1. The Heat had not won in Boston since the New Big Three was formed — including the Celtics’ double-overtime victory on Jan. 27, when Ray Allen returned with his new

team.

That was the day Rajon Rondo was diagnosed with an ACL tear that ended his season. This time, it was Garnett who sat out, though coach Doc Rivers said he would have played if the thigh injury had not been compounded by the flu.

Boston led by as many as 17 in the first half, but it was 103-all when Miami got the ball with 33 seconds left. James dribbled down the shot clock before putting up a jumper from the right wing to take the lead.

Green drove into the lane for Boston, but he was stuffed by Shane Battier; the ball went out of bounds and, after replay, was given to the Celtics with 7.1 seconds remaining.

Courtney Lee found Pierce for an open 3-pointer, but it bounced long off the rim and Dwyane Wade, who scored 16, tipped the rebound to the corner and then grabbed it.

The game came exactly five years — to the day — after Boston ended Houston’s 22-game winning streak.

COUPLE from page 2 that showed a woman, who appeared to be Vonn, in a golf cart at the marina where Woods’ yacht “Privacy” was docked.

“I guess it wasn’t a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods,” Vonn said on her Facebook page. “Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy.”

Both said they wanted to keep everything else private.

Woods posted four photos with Vonn on his page, while Vonn’s had one of those photos.

Vonn is recovering from right knee surgery — something familiar to Woods — after a Feb. 5 crash that ended her season. Her divorce from Thomas Vonn after more than four years became official in January. They separated in 2011. Vonn, whose maiden name is Kildow, decided to keep Vonn as her last name after the divorce.

The announcement was one day after the World

Cup season ended. Vonn hopes to return in time for the Olympics next year in Sochi.

Woods’ past relationships are far more sensational.

His marriage of five years to Elin Nordegren of Sweden collapsed in 2010 after shocking revelations of multiple extramarital affairs. His infidelity was exposed the night after Thanksgiving in 2009 when he ran his car into a tree and a fire hydrant outside his Florida home.

Woods spent the summer of 2010 working out details of a divorce, which became official in August that year. They share custody of their two children.

The 37-year-old Woods rarely discusses any aspect of his private life, and it was surprising that he acknowledged a relationship with Vonn, much less post studio photos of him, in a short-sleeve Nike golf shirt, and Vonn, in a light blue warm-up jacket. But this would preclude paparazzi making big money when they are photographed together for the first time.

Audubon program on loons & lead Thursday night MOULTONBOROUGH — On Thursday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Loon Center in Moultonborough, the Lakes Region Chapter of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire will present a program titled “Loons and Lead (Don’t Mix).”

Lead fishing tackle is killing New Hampshire’s loons. Loons have long lives, delay breeding until 6-7 years old, and have only about one chick surviving per pair every other year. Adult survival is by far the largest factor limiting the recovery of New Hampshire’s loon population, and lead is the biggest problem.

Harry Vogel, Executive Director of the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) will give a presentation about the scientific research on lead poisoning in New Hampshire’s loon population, followed by Attorney Sheridan Brown, the LPC’s Government Relations Consultant. He will speak on current efforts to change the law in the state, and what the public can do to help. The combination of loons, lead, and legislators is a biological and political stewpot.

Unfortunately, at least 124 adult loons died after

swallowing lead sinkers and jigs between 1989 and 2011; these are only the ones that were found. Fortynine percent of the dead adult loons collected by the LPC died as a result of swallowing lead fishing tackle.

The lead goes into the loon’s gizzard, where the grinding action and acid erodes it. It then goes into the blood and organs and poisons the loon. Even a single small lead split shot is fatal to loons, which will die within a month. Small lead sinkers have been banned in New Hampshire, but loons are still dying from them, and from unregulated lead jigs.

The LPC is trying to have the law changed to address the jig problem; Senate Bill 89 about this issue passed unanimously in the NH Senate on March 13. It soon goes to the NH House, which killed a similar bill last year.

For more information, see http://www.loonbill.org/ The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow the signs from Route 109 or from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School. Refreshments will be served.

Tall Granite Jazz Band at Pitman’s on Thursday LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room will host the Tall Granite Jazz Band on Thursday, March 21 at 8 p.m.

Admission is $10. Pitman’s is a BYOB venue.

Tall Granite plays music with the Retro Side up. If it can swing, Tall Granite will play it.

Remember how music used to be, before live bands needed an electrician and a forklift. Back when a piano, some horns, a doghouse bass, and a drummer beating swing-time used to be enough to rouse a room? We do!

From the syncopated heart of New Hampshire, the Tall Granite Jazz Band sound is a spirited homage to

Chicago-style “Hot” jazz from the Roaring 1920s, into the Swing jazz of the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s and even ‘70s.

Our influences range from King Oliver to Oliver Nelson, with stops at Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Miles Davis, Cole Porter, Louis Jordan, Van Morrison, and even Hank Williams.

So if you’re done with dueling banjos, screaming guitars, or amorphous sonic navel-gazing, grab your twotone shoes, slick back that hair, turn back the clock and swing and stomp or just relax to the Tall Granite Jazz Band’s smokey horns and good-time jazz.

MEREDITH — The Winni Players, the community theatre wing of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, will be holding auditions on Sunday, March 24 and Monday, March 25 for their semi-annual Playwriting Festival - this one called Playwriting Project 201.3.

Each of the plays will be directed by a local adult with experience in community theatre. There are roles available for adults, teens and a few kids. Auditions will be held at 6 p.m. at the Museum Building (the building that looks like a white Victorian house) at the back of the Meredith Campus on 50 Reservoir Road.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The very thing your ancestors had to fight and die for is now a part of your daily life that you often take for granted.

Not today. You will be fully aware and appreciative of their sacrifices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Understanding where others are coming from will require special attention and a few adjustments. But once everyone is on the same page, moving forward will be easy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The attention lavished on you may not be a direct result of something you did today. Rather, your past efforts have accumulated, and you’re now enjoying the fruits of your labor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll surprise them again. They really should be onto you by now. Don’t they know that you have already been many people and lived many lifetimes between zero and your current age?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You come across as so amazingly competent now that the one in charge can’t help but give you a new assignment.

With any luck, it’s something you can accomplish in a few hours.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 19).

Your strong sense of direction will take you to foreign places. Because of all you learn there, you will be a different person by your next birthday. The rule you break in April will liberate you. In May, someone will invest in you. June sees you punching a different clock.

Also, it will seem that someone’s heart beats just for you. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 33, 35 and 13.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Letters and emails require thought; conversations are where the real deals happen.

You never know what the other person is going to say. That’s why conversation is the art that separates the amateurs from the pros.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get dressed up appropriately and show up where expected with an attitude of service. This simple effort may seem to take more out of you now, but it will give you much more than it takes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you’re to win the game you’re playing, you need a well-tested strategy. Talk it over with a friend or teammate. You’ve already played a few moves, but now is a good time to pause and reconnoiter.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will like hearing your compliments only if they desire them first. So don’t give them too early. If you hold back, it will mean more when you finally gush a bit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is safety in agreement, acceptance and doing what you’ve been doing. If only there were fun there, too. But since there’s not, seek danger. Follow your curiosity to the unpopular and unknown choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Now that your guiding planet, Mercury, is flying direct again, you’ll find that a certain someone can be more readily contacted and is also much easier to understand and connect with.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you were able to meet one of your heroes, what would you say to that person?

The future holds such a meeting, and you’ll get something valuable out of any time you spend preparing for it now.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, March 19, the 78th day of 2013. There are 287 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 19, 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the start of war against Iraq. (Because of the time difference, it was early March 20 in Iraq.)

On this date: In 1687, French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle — the first European to navigate the length of the Mississippi River — was murdered by mutineers in present-day Texas.

In 1863, the Confederate cruiser Georgianna, on its maiden voyage, was scuttled off Charleston, S.C., to prevent it from falling into Union hands.

In 1918, Congress approved Daylight-Saving Time.

In 1920, the Senate rejected, for a second time, the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) by a vote of 49 in favor, 35 against, falling short of the twothirds majority needed for approval.

In 1931, Nevada Gov. Fred B. Balzar signed a measure legalizing casino gambling.

In 1943, gangster Frank Nitti, leader of Al Capone’s Chicago Outfit, shot himself to death in a railroad yard.

In 1945, 724 people were killed when a Japanese dive bomber attacked the carrier USS Franklin off Japan; the ship, however, was saved.

Adolf Hitler issued his so-called “Nero Decree,” ordering the destruction of German facilities that could fall into Allied hands.

In 1953, the Academy Awards ceremony was televised for the first time; “The Greatest Show on Earth” was named best picture of 1952.

In 1962, Bob Dylan’s first album, titled “Bob Dylan,” was released by Columbia Records.

In 1965, the wreck of the Confederate cruiser Georgianna was discovered by E. Lee Spence, 102 years to the day after it had been scuttled.

In 1993, Supreme Court Justice Byron R. White announced plans to retire. (White’s departure paved the way for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to become the court’s second female justice.)

One year ago: A motorbike assailant opened fire with two handguns in front of a Jewish school in the southern French city of Toulouse, killing a rabbi, his two young sons and a girl. (The gunman, French-born Mohammed Merah, was killed in a gunfight with police after a 32-hour standoff at his apartment; he had also killed three French paratroopers.) The federal Justice Department announced it had begun an investigation into the fatal shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida by a neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman.

5k Run/Walk on April 13 will benefit Chesebrough Adoption Project

ALTON — Spring is around the corner and yes the snow will melt and you will want to get outside in that fresh mountain air. What better way to enjoy a nice Saturday than with a bunch of people from N.E. who are running/walking to help a family defray the cost of adoption?

Karen Chesebrough was diagnosed with leukemia when she was a teenager and told because of the treatments she would be unable to have children.

Scott and Karen have chosen to adopt children to add to their family and to help children in need.

Their second adoption is in progress and friends are planning to help them defray the cost of that adop-

tion by hosting a 5K run/walk on Pine Mountain/ Alton Mountain in Alton Bay on April 13 at noon.

This 5K Course starts out on Avery Hill Road (near the Mike Burke Parking area) and Alton Mountain Road for a nice 1 mile warm up on rolling pavement.

It then turns onto the Mary Jane Morse Greenwood Trai, an old dirt road which winds up Pine Mt. for a fairly steep ascent to the top. This part of the trail affords a great view of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Ossipee Mt. Range as well as the White Mountains off in the distance.

The trail then turns toward the north at the crest of Pine Mountain and makes a loop allowing a pan-

With a sound reminiscent of Buddy Guy backed up by the Fabulous Thunderbirds, they play with a passion and drive that makes you rumble like a run-

away freight train while you fumble to buckle your seat belt.

Band members include Scott LeBlanc, guitar; Jeff Lorenzen, bass guitar; Al Clark, drums; Mike Kelly, vocals,harp.

Pitman’s Freight Room is located at 94 New Salem Street Laconia. Call 527-0043 or 603-494-3334 or visit pitmansfreightroom.com

by William Sounder Discussion led by Jennifer Lee.

Rachel Carson loved the ocean and wrote three books about its mysteries, including the international bestseller The Sea Around Us. But it was with her fourth book, Silent Spring, that this unassuming biologist transformed our relationship with the natural world.

Rachel began work on Silent Spring in the late 1950s, when a dizzying array of synthetic pesticides had come into use.

Leading this chemical onslaught was the insecticide DDT, whose inventor had won a Nobel Prize for its discovery.

Effective against crop pests as well as insects that transmitted human diseases such as typhus and malaria, DDT had at first appeared safe. But as its use expanded, alarming reports surfaced of collateral damage to fish, birds, and other wildlife.

Silent Spring was a chilling indictment of DDT and its effects, which were lasting, widespread, and lethal.

Hours: Monday - Thursday 9am - 8pm • Friday 9am - 6pm Saturday 9am - 4pm For more information, call 524-4775.

The next leg of the course heads south along an old stone wall through a wooded area on the Robert Greenwood Sr. Loop Trail. This part of the course is fairly level but rough terrain.

The path then winds back toward the northwest to start the descent. The woods open up when the path crosses an old blueberry pasture affording a view of the Belknap Mountains. Continuing the descent, The Robert Greenwood Sr. Loop Trail intersects with the Arlene Francis Morse Trail. The Arlene Francis Morse Trail passes through an opening in the wall and descends into new growth forest.

The Arlene Francis Morse Trail forks to the right and passes through early succession birch growth and down past the kiosk where the course turns left onto the Arlene Francis Morse Loop Trail circling an open field to the finish line.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have a question about forced touching. Let’s say an 8-year-old doesn’t want to hug her uncle or give Grandma a kiss. Do you force the kid to do it? Do you badger, threaten and make a fuss?

I’m wondering about this because if you tell your kid, “You have to give this person a hug” or “You have to shake their hand,” aren’t you teaching the kid that their body doesn’t belong to them? If you force your kid to allow others to put their hands on your kid’s body, how will they know when they shouldn’t be touched at all?

I hear all these people coming forward to say they were molested as kids by uncles, grandparents and other relatives, and that they didn’t say anything because they were taught that an adult could touch them at will. -- New York Dear New York: No child should be forced to hug, kiss or even touch another person, even a relative. You certainly can encourage or suggest that she “give Grandma a kiss goodbye,” but nothing more than that. If the child balks, don’t push or express displeasure. Leave it alone. Some kids are naturally reluctant to display that type of affection, and it has nothing to do with molestation.

Kids who are forced to hug Aunt Jane, whose breath reeks and who tends to pinch their cheeks, will not be endearing her to them.

And yes, kids who think they must permit adults to touch them are more likely to remain quiet if they are molested.

Dear Annie: My best friend of 30 years is a hoarder -- not the “Buried Alive” type, but more the Need To Clean House type.

“Rita” has not invited me over to her home in more than three years, while she has been to mine several times.

I want Rita to enjoy her house again and have offered on numerous occasions to help clean. She agrees that she needs it, but never

follows through. What else can I do? I’ve thought of calling Rita’s sister, who lives out of town, to advise her of the severity of the situation. However, I’m not sure the sister can get away to come, in which case my call would only upset her. And Rita wouldn’t appreciate that I called her sister.

Last week, a mutual friend told me that the roof of Rita’s house looks bad. She lives in the neighborhood and walks by every day.

We can’t figure out what to do. Any suggestions? -- Want To Help Dear Want: We suspect Rita is embarrassed by the condition of her house and doesn’t want her friends to clean it. She also may be having financial difficulties, making repair work beyond her means. Could you get a group of friends together to hire a cleaning service? Tell Rita you know she hasn’t had time to clean and you are worried about her. Say that you’d like to present her with the cleaning service as a gift. Ask her what day works best, and then set it up. However, there isn’t much you can do if she absolutely refuses your assistance. An unkempt house is not cause for alarm, and if Rita is, in fact, hoarding, she’ll need more help than you can provide.

Dear Annie: Like “Well Endowed in Kansas,” my breasts were often the topic of conversation. After my second child was born, my chest ballooned to a size GG on my size-8 frame. Carrying around a 1-year-old and an infant in addition to my chest was unbearable.

Enduring the leers and snide jokes from disgusting men and the backhanded comments from other women was demoralizing.

Breast reduction surgery changed my life. No more comments, conversations or back pain. I wear regular bathing suits and bras.

It’s liberating to feel and look like an appropriately proportioned woman. -- “Breast” of Luck to You
