Doctors & nurses at LRGH now communicating via special cell phones By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Communication between physicians, nurses and technicians is the life blood of hospitals and earlier this year LRGHealthcare introduced a system that speeds and eases the flow of information.

The Voalte Communication System, programmed into Apple iPhones, enables staff throughout the hospital to communicate with one another, by either voice or text, wherever they may be. Rae MelloAndrews, clinical staff educator, explained that the system facilitates the timely exchange of

information without the need to page an individual or contact a nursing station. “Nurses caring for patients at their bedsides with a question or concern for a physician can contact them directly without leaving the patient,” she said. Likewise, she said that nurses can reached without “running from

room-to-room or paging.” Mello-Andrews said that hospital personnel can use the devices to call outside the hospital, for instance to a physician’s office, but can only receive calls from outside the facility from those who have been given an access code, such see LrGH page 8

Authorities were tipped that shipment was on its way, Mass. man arrested By GAil oBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Police netted about 25 pounds of what they are calling medicalgrade marijuana after receiving a tip that it would be delivered to an apartment on Lower Ladd Hill Road. The two packages were intercepted by police, who, just after noon on Thursday, completed the delivery via an undercover officer. Participating in the arrest were Det. Crp. John Eichhorn, Sgt. Mike Harper and Lt. Keith True. Tuan Ngoc Le, 48, of Worcester, Mass. was arrested and charged with one felony count of possession of marijuana with intent to sell. Police also confiscated about $3,000 — see POT page 4

N.H. House rejects 1 gambling bill & tables another

CONCORD (AP) — A week after a gambling bill passed the state Senate, the New Hampshire House killed one casino bill Thursday but kept another alive, leaving open the possibility of passing its own gambling measure. The House overwhelmingly rejected a bill that would have allowed two casinos to be built in the state while preserving another amid debate over the possibility of legalizing gambling in New Hampshire. Last week the state Senate passed a casino bill that has the support of Gov. Maggie Hassan who included $80 million in revenue from casino license fees in her budget. That bill would allow one casino with 150 table games and 5,000 video slots. Rep. Neal Kurk, R-Weare, urged his colleagues to preserve one of the bills whether they support or oppose expanded gambling because it will increase the House’s options down the road.

Obama meets with Israelis & Palestinians, separately JERUSALEM (AP) — Insisting “peace is possible,” President Barack Obama on Thursday prodded both Israelis and Palestinians to return to long-stalled negotiations with few, if any, pre-conditions, softening his earlier demands that Israel stop building settlements in disputed territory. The president made his appeal just hours after rockets fired from Hamas-controlled Gaza landed in a southern Israeli border town, a fresh reminder of the severe security risks and tensions that have stymied

people in Jerusalem. “I’m not saying it’s guaranteed. I can’t even say that it is more likely than not. But it is possible.” The deep disputes dividing the Israelis and Palestinians have remained much the same over the years, and include deciding the status of Jerusalem, defining borders and resolving refugee issues. Palestinians have been particularly incensed over Israeli settlements in disputed territories, and the Israelis’ continued construction see OBAMA page 8

Cyprus told it must raise $7.5B by Monday or face financial ruin

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cypriot politicians moved Thursday to restructure the country’s most troubled bank as part of a broader bailout plan that must be in place by Monday to avoid financial ruin. Concerned customers rushed to get cash from ATMs as bank employees protested. Cyprus has been told it must raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) if it is to receive 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) from its fellow eurozone countries and the Interna-

tional Monetary Fund. If it does not find a way by Monday, the European Central Bank said it will cut off emergency support to the banks, letting them collapse. That would throw the country into financial chaos and, ultimately, cause it to leave the eurozone, with unpredictable consequences for the region. Several new bills were being submitted to Parliament Thursday night, including restructuring the banking sector, setting

up an “Investment Solidarity Fund” and restricting banking transactions in times of crisis. Together, they will make up at least part of the alternative plan Cyprus hopes will secure it bailout money. The lawmakers said the bills would be discussed and potentially voted on Friday morning. The pressure has increased since Parliament on Tuesday rejected an earlier see CYPRUS page 4

After 20+ years in prison, man wrongfully convicted of killing rabbi is free NEW YORK (AP) — A man who spent more than two decades behind bars for the cold-blooded slaying of a Brooklyn rabbi was released Thursday into the arms of his weeping relatives after a reinvestigation by prosecutors cast serious doubt on evidence used to convict him.

“Sir, you are free to go,” a judge told a smiling, white-haired David Ranta moments after prosecutors announced they supported tossing out the 1991 conviction. Ranta’s pregnant daughter — a 2-yearold when he was jailed — sisters and other supporters burst into applause and

N.H. House freezes state’s new voter ID law but rejects an outright repeal CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire House rejected a proposal Thursday to repeal the state’s voter identification law, instead passing legislation that would prevent tighter regulations from taking effect until the attorney general’s office completes an inquiry into the last election. Rep. Timothy Horrigan, D-Durham, argued for repeal, saying the voter ID law is “an excessive solution to a virtually nonexistent problem.” Horrigan said no evidence of voter fraud exists in the state. But Rep. Shawn Jasper, R-Hudson, countered that voter fraud in New Hampshire has never been found because no one has looked for it. Jasper said a number of “suspicious” cases from 2012 could prove to be fraud. He added that even if fraud isn’t widespread it could tip the scales in tight elections.

Voters who did not have ID and signed affidavits in 2012 saying they were legally registered voters received a mailer from the Secretary of State to verify their identity. They were given 90 days after receipt to return them. Several thousand came back as undeliverable and the attorney general’s office is currently conducting a review of those cases. The House voted largely along party lines Thursday to pass the measure that would freeze provisions of the law until the review is completed. Under the measure, voters would be required to show a photo ID before obtaining a ballot — including student IDS and other forms of identification that were allowed during the 2012 election. But the measure would prevent the next phase of current law from taking effect in September 2013,

when election officials would be required to photograph voters without identification before handing them a ballot and when acceptable identification would be limited to driver’s licenses, state-issued identification cards, passports, and military IDs. Critics say photographing voters would be an exorbitant cost to the state and may be intimidating to those who don’t have photo ID. Others say the photo record would act as a deterrent to fraud. The state estimates a one-time cost of $82,000 to purchase digital cameras and other materials for polling stations and a cost of $60,000 per year to take photos of people without ID. The $82,000 is not included in Gov. Maggie Hassan’s proposed budget for the next biennium.

GAMBLING from page 2 ing the proposal back for consideration make the vote largely symbolic, but it leaves the door open for House lawmakers to consider a gambling bill of their own. The preserved bill would allow the same number of slots as the Senate bill, but spread over six locations and run via public-private partnership. It does not allow for table games. Opponents argued there wouldn’t be sufficient private interest in being the landlord for the state slots parlors and there wouldn’t be enough patrons to keep them operating. Rep. Susan Almy, D-Lebonan, said similar systems have resulted in “large numbers of small sad places that cater only to the locals and don’t really make enough money to survive.” The House voted 249-65 to reject a bill that would have allowed two casinos. Opponents argued it wouldn’t produce enough money for the state and didn’t have a competitive licensing process. Supporters said its passage would ensure the House has an official bargaining position when they consider the Senate gambling bill.

Rich Killion, a spokesman for Millennium Gaming, which has an option to buy Rockingham Park in Salem and build a facility there, said the House votes show representatives are open to a “serious and substantive discussion on the issue of expanded gambling.” “I trust that conservation will broaden when (the Senate bill) is introduced. The New Hampshire citizens favor casino gambling in strong margins and they want that discussion to occur as well,” he added. Critics have argued that the quick licensing process in the Senate’s gambling bill favors Millennium. Salem residents have overwhelmingly passed a nonbinding referendum endorsing the plan. Green Meadow Golf Club in Hudson and New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon have also pushed for casino legalization. The Senate proposal would tax the video slot proceeds at 30 percent and table games at 14 percent. It would require a $425 million investment. Five percent of the video lottery revenue would go to the host community, neighboring communities and services for problem gambling. The rest would be used

to fund highway improvements, higher education and North Country development. The table game revenue would go to higher education. Even if New Hampshire does allow a casino to be built, a recent study by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies estimates the state would, at best, break if a casino is opened at Suffolk Downs in Massachusetts as planned. Hassan said the study acknowledged a casino would generate the $80 million licensing fees to pay for the spending in her proposed budget. She has also said if New Hampshire doesn’t build a casino it will still pay for the social costs of expanded gambling when Massachusetts builds its casinos.

Harper said it is one of the larger marijuana busts he knows of made in the town of about 6,000 full-time residents. Tuan is being held on $50,000 cash bail and will appear by video arraignment this morning in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

All but 5 Belknap reps OK with medical pot CONCORD — Only five of the 18 representatives from Belknap County voted against legislation authorizing the medicinal use of marijuana, which carried the New Hampshire House of Representatives by a commanding margin of 286 to 64 this week. House Bill 573 would sanction five dispensaries and permit qualified patients or caregivers to cultivate not more than three plants fanned a dozen seedlings for medicinal use. Patients with specified painful, debilitating or terminal medical conditions, certified by a physician, would qualify for the therapeutic use of marijuana. Reps. Jane Cormier and Stephen Holmes of Alton, Don Flanders and

Frank Tilton of Laconia and Colette Worsman of Meredith — all Republicans — voted with the minority. The remaining members of the county delegation, five Democrats — Beth Arsenault and David Huot of Laconia, Ruth Gulick of New Hampton, Ian Raymond of Sanbornton and Lisa DiMartino of Gilford — and Bob Greemore and Herb Vadney of Meredith, Chuck Fink and Michael Sylvia of Belmont, Richard Burchell of Gilmanton, Guy Comtois of Barnstead, and Dennis Fields of Sanbornton— Republicans supported the bill. Rep. Bob Luther did not vote. — Michael Kitch

CYPRUS from page 2 proposal to seize up to 10 percent of people’s bank accounts. Banks have been shut since last weekend to avoid a run and will not open until Tuesday at the earliest. Uncertainty was growing among Cypriots as the deadline approached and it became clear that the country’s second-largest bank, Laiki or Cyprus Popular Bank, would be restructured. Queues of 40 to 50 people formed at Laiki ATMs, which responded by capping daily withdrawals at 260 euros ($340) per person from 700 euros ($906). Although ATMs have been functioning, many often run out of cash. “We need cash. We have families, children, grandchildren and expenses, and the banks have been closed since Saturday,” said Andri Olympiou after withdrawing money from a Laiki branch in Nicosia, the capital. The central bank governor, Panicos Demetriades, urged lawmakers to vote immediately on a legal framework bill to rehabilitate Cyprus’s banking sector. The bills include restructuring

Laiki, a move that would raise an estimated 2 billion euros out of the total 5.8 billion euros Cyprus needs, according to local media. Once it is done, the country would be in a position to guarantee all deposits up to 100,000 euros ($130,000) — the EU-wide limit for bank guarantees. Officials said the restructuring would split Laiki into two, with a “bad bank” taking over its soured investments, and a “good bank” retaining the healthy ones. Setting up a bad bank is a strategy that’s been used before in Europe’s financial crisis, by Ireland and Spain. A bad bank is tasked with recovering as much money as possible from the investments. Without the restructure, Laiki would collapse and drag down the rest of the banking system and the economy, Demetriades said. “The restructuring constitutes a significant step toward the achievement of an economic support agreement for the Cyprus Republic from the European support mechanism and the International Monetary Fund,” he said.

Right-sizing the federal government Washington is trapped in an endless fiscal debate. Republicans argue that the federal government is too big. Democrats argue that revenues are too low. The fight is over money, but the larger debate is over the size and scope of the government. Before we line up on one side or the other, we should look at recent history. Over the past 40 years, federal spending has averaged a little over 20 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). When the economy has been strong, federal spending as a percentage of GDP has dipped below 20 percnet. When the economy has been weaker, that figure has been several points higher. During the same 40 years, federal revenues have averaged about 18 percent of GDP. As a result, the federal government was in deficit for all but three of those years. This fluctuation is to be expected. When times are tough, spending increases for safety net programs, such as Medicaid, food stamps, and unemployment benefits. The opposite happens when the economy booms, such as in the 1990s. During the Clinton budget years (1994-2001), federal outlays as a percentage of GDP declined from 21 percent to 18.2 percent. During the following eight Bush budget years (2002-2009), that percentage rose from 19.1 percent to 25.2 percent, as the Great Recession, and spending for two wars and Medicare drug coverage, all had an effect. (The Obama stimulus increased spending by 1.5 percent of GDP.) During the three Obama budget years that have been completed (2010-2012), spending as a percentage of GDP has been 24.1 percent, 24.1 percent, and 22.9 percent, while revenues as a percentage of GDP have been 15.1 percent, 15.4 percent and 15.8 percent. (estimate). As the economy improves, the gap between spending and revenues will narrow, but there will continue to be a significant gap. Social Security and Medicare are not part of our current deficit problem. Revenues for those programs are about equal to spending. As the retirement of the baby boomers continues, expenses will rise faster than revenues, and those programs will have to use their surpluses to maintain benefits. Medicare is projected to exhaust its reserves and be unable to pay all its bills in 2024 while Social Security is projected to exhaust its reserves and be unable to pay full benefits in 2033. By 2040, Medicare costs are projected to increase from 3.7 percent of GDP to 6 percent of GDP. Social Security will increase from 4.9 percent of GDP to 6.4 percent of GDP in 2035. If we are to keep our promises to our seniors, the size of the federal budget, relative to GDP, will have to increase by several percentage points.

Republicans have other ideas. In 2011, every Republican in the Senate voted for a constitutional amendment that would mandate a balanced budget, and that would limit federal spending to 18 percent of GDP. If implemented, this amendment would require huge cuts in Social Security and Medicare, or huge cuts in everything else, or a cut of 17 percent across the board. Such a cut would be seven times as large as the sequester. The 2012 Republican Party platform also calls for a constitutional amendment limiting federal spending to a fixed percentage of GDP. The goal of the Republican Party is to reduce the size of the federal government to a size we have not seen since before the days of Medicare, Medicaid, the EPA, food stamps, Head Start, and student loans. Do we really want to go back to those days? There are alternatives. Cuts can be made to eliminate federal subsides for agribusiness, ethanol, and fossil fuels. The defense budget can be cut by eliminating weapons the Pentagon does not want, and by bringing homes troops that are stationed in countries that no longer need our military assistance. On the revenue side, we could eliminate special tax rates for hedge fund managers and investment income, enact a financial transaction tax (which will raise revenue and cut down on speculation in the stock market), and limit or eliminate deductions for luxuries, such as the mortgage interest deduction on second homes and mansions. These changes would reduce the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Changes are also needed for Social Security and Medicare so that they can be self-sustaining programs in the long term. A balanced approach of revenue increases and benefits adjustments makes sense to many — unless you are a Republican sworn to oppose all tax increases, which then leaves only benefit cuts. It’s budget season in Washington. The media will focus on the clash between the parties. You should look for the alternate visions of the parties. Democrats want to gradually decrease spending, and increase revenue, so that the two balance somewhere near 21 percnet of GDP. Republicans want to radically change the scope and mission of the federal government, reducing it to a size not seen in a couple generations. You get to weigh in again on election day, 2014.

LETTERS Budget line items considered encumbered until purpose is met To the editor, Belknap County government is running amok of N.H. law and accounting practices. The DRA director, in the 90s, explained that the grand total budget, as resolved by the any government appropriating authority, is comprised of the sum of all the individual line items (purpose) estimated amounts. Accordingly, each estimate of an individual line item appropriation amount is considered “encumbered” until, the purpose has been completed. No money may be transferred to any other purpose unless it becomes “unencumbered”. Example: A line item is to purchase a vehicle (purpose), the amount of money allocated ($30,000) for that purpose is encumbered until the vehicle is purchased. If the vehicle’s actual cost is less than estimated ($27,000) the remainder of the money ($3,000) becomes unencumbered. NO MONEY can be TRANSFERRED until its purpose as described by the appropriating authority has been accomplished. It’s time the New Hampshire Division of Revenue Administration (DRA) step up to the plate and restores civility and compliance in the administration of Belknap’s County’s financial administration methodology.

Once the county budget, as resolved by the convention, is adopted, the conventions only involvement with the administration of finances, is in regards to a supplemental budget request or borrowing. If any money at any time is in fact unencumbered, the commission must seek approval of the Executive Committee to transfer the surplus money from one individual line item to other individual line items anticipated to exceed its estimated appropriation. Belknap County operates on a calendar year and the treasurer reports the financial status to the commissioners based on anticipated trending, as required. When has the treasurer or fiscal officer identified surplus/ unencumbered line items money as available for transfer? Which line items has the treasurer identified and reported to the commission as “no longer encumbered”? Is it fair and equitable in the first quarter to eliminate capital line items or reduce the workforce of any department in order to increase the wages and pay the benefits of others? Where in the law does it state a line item appropriations amount can be deleted to increase another’s line amount above its appropriated amount? Thomas A. Tardif Laconia

Here’s how a couple local residents can get their grandson on TV To the editor, I dare say that among your paper’s readership there are enough jazz fans that they may appreciate knowing about a treat they can soak up by watching (and especially listening to) LRPA-TV Saturday night. That is when the New York University Steinhardt Music Education Jazz Ensemble will show the listener how selections ranging from “Eleanor Rigby” to “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” are best preformed. If your readers are sufficiently intrigued to tune in and enjoy the NYU Jazz Ensemble, the time is 9 p.m. this Saturday night and the place is LRPA-TV’s Channel 25. While the undersigned would like you to admire our grandson, Tom Longabaugh (the trumpeter in the top row, left), we really think you will be struck on how good a bunch of college students are

in rendering jazz as it deserves to be played. It would also be a reasonable wonderment on how a couple of local residents can get their grandson on TV? The answer is that federal regulations require cable companies to provide a Public Access channel in their menu of channels. On the western side of Lake Winnipesaukee the Public Access channel in Metrocast’s line-up is LRPA’s Channel 25. Public Access is exactly what it name implies: Any member of the public can have a video they submit played on Channel 25 as long as it does not violate community values with respect to decency and so on. Additionally, in the Lakes Region the person submitting their video for airing has to be a resident of a town that is a member of LRPA. In Belknap County those communities are Alton, see next page

LETTERS Hopefully, Republicans on convention are part of a tidal wave

Lots of people contributed to success of student chess tourney

To the editor, The Belknap County Convention demonstrated the clash of two different interests, both committed to fulfilling our Ccounty’s obligations. One group considered the burden on property owners, renters, and others who pay the county’s bills. The other group represents government employees, unions, and other special interests which benefit from the money taken from taxpayers. This year, politicians at every level of government proposed tax increases. Yet, taxpayers suffer from high unemployment, under-employment, reduced take home pay, tax increases, and price increases in nearly everything that people actually need, e.g., food, gasoline, health insurance. The U.S. median income has declined $4,000 in just four years. President Obama’s policies continue to kill middle class jobs, cut working hours, and drive previously independent people onto unemployment and welfare, and, frequently, into despair (which is a personal and national tragedy). Even while middle income Americans’ incomes have declined and people have been forced to tighten their belts, governments continued to tax more, spend more, regulate more driving up our cost of living, add new functions and employees, and, with rare exceptions, increase wages and benefits. Government programs, employees and special interests have mostly been spared the severe cuts endured by most private sector employees. For most taxpayers, the direct and hidden costs of government is one of

To the editor, On Friday night, March 15th, the 12th Annual City-Wide Chess Tournament was held at Laconia High School. There were 28 players in the completion, from elementary, middle and high school. With over 50 spectators cheering them on the event was a wonderful success. I would like to take a moment to thank all the people that made this event such a success. The Santa Fund of the Greater Lakes Region donated funds to purchase trophies for the three first place winners that were laser designed by Ken Martin, Huot Career Tech Center Manufacturing teacher. The donated funds were also used to purchase Skate Escape passes that were given to each participant. Janine and Erica of Skate Escape generously matched our purchase of passes. Sandra Lawton from Funspot also donated gift cards for the three 2nd place winners. Special thanks to Project EXTRA! who donated pizzas and water for players and their families. Mayor Michael Seymour wished all the participants good luck and kicked off the tournament. These

their top expenses, often greater than car payments, fuel, food, or even mortgages. (Go ahead, add it up! Remember the hidden taxes and regulatory costs which add about 15 percent to almost everything you buy.) Even while families struggle to pay their bills, the cost of government grows and grows and grows while the amount of money left after taxes shrinks and shrinks and shrinks. Do you work, try to save, and struggle for yourself and your family or just so politicians can spend your money; wasting it, giving it to their friends, or trading it in return for votes? The Republican majority in the Belknap County Convention are, hopefully, part of a tidal wave of representatives, hopefully from both parties, who fight for the people not the special interests. Our representatives endured, and those that follow will probably have to endure more undeserved invective hurled by special interest groups who strike back at the audacity of anyone threatening their accustomed taxpayer funded largess. People who pay the taxes shouldn’t have to struggle more than the people who receive money taken from taxpayers. Representatives who fight for the taxpayers deserve our gratitude. Thank you! If Americans want freedom, prosperity, and opportunity for themselves, their children and grandchildren, then they are going to have to elect more representatives committed to fulfilling government obligations more responsibly, efficiently, and affordably.

Belmont Heritage Commission thanks voters & Sargent Fund To the editor, The Belmont Heritage Commission is grateful for this year’s support from voters and the John M. Sargent Trust Fund Committee. Heritage Resources funding — Warrant Article #25 — passed by the largest margin since established, and will continue to match grants and other opportunities. The Sargent Fund generously provided monies to help sponsor a free concert celebrating completion of the historic Bandstand’s first phase of restoration. Stabilization, final relocation on a masonry

foundation, and critical preservation efforts are expected to begin this summer for this historic community landmark. Thank you all for this important support, and the privilege of serving the community’s future, in part, by celebrating its past. Linda Frawley, Chairman Wallace Rhodes, Vice Chairman Kelly Rolfe, Secretary Margaret Normandin Shayne Duggan Alyce Jewell Ronald Cormier (representing Selectboard)

players start a few months before the tournament practicing weekly to hone their skills. This would not be possible without the coaches who volunteer their time each week. I would like to extend a special thank you to coaches Ramsay Eliason, Greg Schneberger, Bretmarie Witt, Betsy Damon, Ernie Bownes and Ed Emond. Ed Emond was also instrumental in helping with the coordination of setting up the brackets and helping with the rules of the tournament during playing. I would also like to especially thank Andrea Condodematraky and Deb and Taylor Williams for all their help for their help during the tournament. Deb Williams has assisted in the planning of this tournament for all of the 12 years. This event would not be possible without her help. The winning players were Susan Ross, High School; Garrett Pitt, Middle School and Gavin Pitt, Elementary School. They will be presented with their trophies by the Laconia School Board at their next meeting. Janet Brough Administrative Assistant Laconia School District

PMHS teachers ask your support at Barnstead School Meeting To the editor, The Prospect Mountain Teachers’ Association would like to extend a sincere note of thanks to the school board, the budget committee, and all of the citizens of Alton who turned out on voting day and moved our school one step further toward being the strong bulwark of education we all want it to be. This week, the citizens of Barnstead will have the same chance at the school meeting to lend their voices to what they want the future of their community to look like. We fervently hope that

they will show the same dedication to their children and vote in the affirmative to ratify the PMHS teachers’ agreement.

LRGH from page one as a family member of a patient who would then be able to reach the attending nurse directly. “Voalte has cut down on wasted time tremendously,” Mello-Andrews remarked, “and improved work flow by assisting multi-tasking significantly. It has also decreased the level of noise in the hospital, really quietened things down.” Mello-Andrews said that the system was introduced at Franklin General Hospital in December and at Lakes Region General Hospital in January. In advance, patients and visitors were told not to be concerned at finding hospital staff talking on cell phones for they were not speaking with friends or children, but working. “We’ve really just started,” she said, adding that “our plan is grow this program.” Currently there are 150 programmed iPhones at the admitting desk, nursing areas, imaging center and laboratory with plans to include the hospital pharmacy and physical therapy department in the network. Physicians, Mello-Andrews said, can reach nurses directly through an access code and extension number. RABBI from page 2 The dramatic turnabout came after the Brooklyn district attorney’s office filed paperwork on Wednesday saying it supported a defense motion to vacate the murder conviction and dismiss the indictment. After a recent review, they said they “no longer have sufficient evidence to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.” Before releasing Ranta, Judge Miriam Cyrulnik offered an apology: “To say I’m sorry for what you’ve endured would be an understatement. ... But I say it anyway.” Ranta had claimed he had been rotting in a Buffalo prison for no reason. “Like I said from the beginning, I had nothing to do with this case,” he said outside court. Prosecutors admitted the case against Ranta was now too “degraded” to hold up in court. But unlike case where convicts are exonerated by new DNA evidence, they stopped well short of conceding his innocence. “That’s a good question,” prosecutor John O’Mara, who heads the DA’s Conviction Integrity Unit, said when asked by reporters who killed the rabbi. “It may have been this defendant, it may not have been this defendant.” The case dated to Feb. 8, 1990, when a gunman botched an attempt to rob a diamond courier in Williamsburg. After the courier escaped unharmed, see next page

Students in Laconia High School’s applied science class built and raced dragsters to learn about friction, drag and acceleration. On Monday, the fastest cars from each of the two sections will race head-to-head for bragging rights. Erik Parker, shown here, standing, built the fastest car in his class. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

PHYSICS from page one Yesterday, students in the two applied physics class faced off, head to head, to see whose dragster was fastest. In the morning section of the class, Zach Harper left his classmates in his dust, racing the 20 meters in 2.65 seconds. Harper’s car followed the “less is more” philosophy of design, shortening his wood block considerably and sanding away all but about a quarter of the car’s starting weight. In the later class, Erik Parker, the lone sophomore in a class of upperclassmen, took the top slot. Although his time was approximate with Harper’s, he approached the problem with a different strategy, ending up with a dragster about twice the weight of Harper’s. “I was trying to take off as much wood as I could,” said Parker, though he said he wanted to keep the car’s wheelbase as long as possible. “I felt it would help maximize my stability,” a quality his design proved when tested for aerodynamics. “It did fairly well in the wind tunnel.”

As Gilbert explained, the dragsters that performed best weren’t necessarily the lightest, but those which exhibited the least rotational friction between the wheels and the bodies of the cars. After yesterday’s qualifying races, Parker said he was going to try and improve the efficiency of his wheels. The first round of races were propelled by 4 gram cartridges of compressed gas, the championship round will feature the use of 8 gram cartridges. Whether or not Parker wins the final round of drag races, he said he’s enjoying the experiment. He said, “I thought it was a very good lesson. I learned a lot about mass, drag coefficient and acceleration.”

Council will be presented with 2 Main Street bridge plans: rebuild now & pay more or wait a year & save $600,000 By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — After learning that the cost of reconstructing the Main Street Bridge will exceed the estimate and the state will contribute less than anticipated, the City Council will consider two options for pursuing the project when it meets on Monday. Earlier this month, City Manager Scott Myers told councilors that the lowest bid for the work was $3.15-million, $850,000 more than the estimate of $2.3-million, which did not include the cost of engineering and overseeing the project. Moreover, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT), which was expected to contribute 80-percent of the cost, informed city officials that because the state bridge program is short of funds, it would cap its share at a flat dollar amount of $2,262,326. Consequently, Myers projected that the city’s share, which with the original estimate fell between $600,000 and $800,000, to rise to between $1.5-million and $1.6-million. At the same time the city would be liable for any additional costs. In a memorandum sent to city councillors yesterday, Myers said that one

option is to accept the low bid, award the contract and start work this spring. Alternatively, Myers explained that the DOT suggested shunting the Bridge Aid Program to the Municipal Owned Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement (MOBRR) program, which is federally funded but administered by the DOT. Since funds will not be appropriated until the federal fiscal year beginning in October, 2013 the start of the project would be delayed a year. The DOT has assumed that the cost of the project will rise 10 percent to approximately $4.1-million from this year to next and agreed to increase its share by $800,000, from $2.3 million to $3.1 million, leaving the city to contribute a little more than $1 million, along with any additional charges. Myers estimated that if the city borrowed in share over 20 years, the second option would spare $33,000 a year in debt service, or $660,000 over the term of the bond. Myers said that the city has until April 7 to accept the bid and begin work on the first phase of the project in April as scheduled or apply for federal funding.

Flanders breaks ranks on Medicaid vote

CONCORD — Rep. Don Flanders of Laconia was one of only seven Republicans who joined with 199 Democrats this week when the New Hampshire House of Representatives rejected a bill to prohibit the expansion of Medicaid by a margin of 206 to 155. Flanders is a member of the Board of Trustees of LRGHealthcare. House Bill 271, sponsored by former Speaker of the House Bill O’Brien (R-Mont Vernon), was supported by the other 12 Republican representatives from Belknap County — Frank

Tilton and Bob Luther of Laconia, Colette Worsman, Bob Greemore and Herb Vadney of Meredith, Jane Cormier and Stephen Holmes of Alton, Chuck Fink and Michael Sylvia of Belmont, Richard Burchell of Gilmanton, Dennis Fields of Sanbornton and Guy Comtois of Barnstead — and opposed by all five Democrats in the county delegation — Beth Arsenault and David Huot of Laconia, Lisa DiMartino of Gilford, Ruth Gulick of New Hampton and Ian Raymond of Sanbornton.

from preceding page the man approached the car of Rabbi Chaskel Werzberger — a Holocaust survivor and a leader of the Satmar Hasidic community — shot him in the forehead, pulled him out of the vehicle and drove away in it. Thousands attended the rabbi’s funeral, and then-Mayor David Dinkins offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. After the arrest of Ranta, Hasidic Jews surrounded the car that carried him to jail and chanted, “Death penalty!” No physical evidence linked the unemployed drug addict to the crime and the diamond courier never identified him as the bandit. But a jury found him guilty anyway based on witness testimony and circumstantial evidence. He was sentenced to 37½ years in prison. The case began to unravel after newly formed Conviction Integrity Unit began its review in 2011. That same year, a man named Menachem Lieberman had approached Ranta’s trial lawyer to tell him he “had uncertainty and discomfort” with his identification of Ranta, and later gave the unit a sworn statement recounting how a detective had told him to “pick

the one with the big nose” — Ranta — out of a police lineup. Other interviews done by the unit suggested an alleged accomplice-turnedprosecution witness — now dead — had pinned the shooting on Ranta to save himself. A woman also repeated claims that her deceased husband privately confessed he was the killer. The unit also found gaps in police paperwork intended to document their investigation. And Ranta denied he knowingly signed police file folders with statements saying he’d helped plan the robbery. Ranta “claimed he had signed a blank file folder ... only because he thought it was a form to allow him to make a phone call,” court papers said. The decision by the Brooklyn district attorney’s office to support tossing out the conviction shocked relatives of Werzberger, said Isaac Abraham, a close family friend. They believe there’s still credible evidence Ranta participated, he said. “For this to happen 23 years later is mind-boggling,” Abraham said. “He can only claim he wasn’t the shooter but he can never claim he wasn’t involved.”

Councilor Bob Hamel delivers Meals on Wheels as part of awareness campaign CONCORD — Mayors for Meals is part of a March for Meals campaign, initiated by the Meals on Wheels Association of America to raise awareness about senior hunger. It enables mayors and local leaders to observe first-hand the positive impact this program has on homebound participants. This year Concord Mayor Jim Bouley and Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield are on board to deliver meals. The following state and local politicians will also participate: City Councilman Bob Hamel from Laconia; State Representative Jane Cormier from Alden; Selectman Chair, Harry Wright from Bradford; Selectwoman Sandra McKinney from Allenstown; and select Board Member Linda Small from Pittsfield. In Belknap and Merrimack counties, the Meals on Wheels Program and the 10 area Senior Centers are sponsored by the Community Action program of Belknap-Merrimack Counties, Inc. and beginning on March 20, all will join together in a national effort to celebrate and acknowledge the importance of these programs in fighting senior hunger. The Meals on Wheels program provides five hot, nutritious meals a week to participants and the community dining program provides the same to Senior Center participants. In 2012, BM-CAP served approximately 259,000 home delivered meals and 68,000 community dining meals! The 2012 Annual Report on Senior Hunger states that 8.3 million seniors (more than one in seven) face the threat of hunger, up from 5 million (one in nine) in 2009 and represents a 78 percent increase from 2001. The majority of seniors under the threat of hunger are over the poverty line. As the aging population increases, the number of hungry seniors will also increase. According to the Federal Administration on Aging, the elderly population is expected to more than double from 40.2 million in 2010 to 88.5 million in 2050, and according to projections by the 2006 Congressional Research Report, that same population is expected to live 3-4 years longer. By 2030, one in five Americans will be over the age of 65. These numbers are stunning reminders that the OBAMA from page 2 has also drawn the condemnation of the United States and other nations. Further settlement activity is “counterproductive to the cause of peace,” Obama said. But in a notable shift, he did not repeat his administration’s previous demands that Israel halt construction. Instead

fight to end senior hunger is only just beginning. The Meals on Wheels program is much more than numbers to the participants, and their families, however. To them it provides a daily wellness check and local resource and referral information. The son-in-law of 104 year-old participant, Helena says: The program serves a great purpose; not only does it provide the meals but the MOW driver is another person she gets to see and interact with every day. The drivers are friendly and caring and they know

what’s going on. There is a piece of mind and safety reassurance in knowing that she will be receiving daily meals and won’t be trying to use the stove. She enjoys the food, appreciates both the program and the thoughtful driver, who checks in with her daily, and double checks when storms approach to be sure she has enough food. In fact, she jokes that the daily meals provide her with so much food that she has to watch her figure!”

he urged the Palestinians to stop using the disagreement as an “excuse” to avoid talks. “If the expectation is that we can only have direct negotiations when everything is settled ahead of time, then there is no point for negotiations,” Obama said during a joint news conference with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.

“I think it is important to work through this process even if there are irritants on both sides.” Abbas said Palestinians remain committed to seeking peace with Israelis, but he made clear that settlement construction had made his people distrustful of Israel’s intentions. see next page

Lawyers helping to negotiate a truce between Gilford Selectboard & Town Clerk Denise Gonyer BY GAIL OBER

GILFORD — After a lengthy mediation between the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk/Tax Collector, the board has come up with what it believes is an agreement as to the authority and rights of the clerk and the employees who work in her department. Selectman Kevin Hayes said yesterday the agreement is the result of a mediation session held last Thursday at Town Clerk/Tax Collector Denise Gonyer’s lawyer’s office. Gonyer is represented by Ann Rice. He said the selectmen were represented by attorney Mark Booth. The purpose, he said was to define what Booth has described as a “hybrid” position — meaning the department head is elected in her own right, however the employees and equipment in her office are controlled by the Board of the Selectmen. Hayes said the purpose of the proposed agreement — he said Gonyer has yet to sign it — was to settle issues that have occurred between the Town Clerk/Tax Collector and the Board of Selectmen, including their most recent attempt to separate the tax collector portion of the job (which not elected) from the town clerk’s portion, which by state law must be elected. The attempted split was placed on the warrant by the selectmen who, after hearing a great deal of opposition to it at the Deliberative Session of Town Meeting, decided not to recommend its passage. The warrant article failed by a vote of 638 to 98. “It’s an attempt to understand Denise’s job and for her to understand our role,” said Hayes. “We wanted it written down so the taxpayers understand how the department is run.”

Hayes said there have been “issues” between the board and the Town Clerk/Tax Collector and he wants to put them behind him. “I want to move on and be friends.” he said, adding he personally believes the Town Clerk Tax Collector’s Office is well-run and efficient. The proposed agreement recognizes Gonyer’s independence as an elected official but states that the employees of the office are expected to comply with all Gilford personnel policies. The proposed agreement also recognizes that certain information held in the Town-Clerk-Tax Collectors Office is confidential and not subject to the Right-To-Know law. The proposal gives the Town Clerk/Tax Collector the right to consult with town counsel about the confidentiality of information. Despite this, the town’s proposed agreement gives town officials rights of access to the office, office equipment and the computer system. Though the town clerk is not subject to the Gilford Use of Technology Policy, the proposed agreement says the employees of the office are. The proposal also says that disagreements between the two entities such as staffing, equipment and hours of operation should be resolved through direct communications. In the rare instances that a matter needs to go to the public, the proposed agreement says the presentation of the issue should be done in “a manner that demonstrates the mutual respect between the offices...” When reached for comment, Gonyer said she would be consulting with her lawyer before she signs the agreement. Selectmen voted 2 to 1 to accept the proposal. Selectman John O’Brien voted against it.

from preceding page “This is very dangerous that people and the new generation reaches the conviction that it’s no more possible to believe in the two-state solution,” he said. Obama has sided with the Palestinians on the settlement issue during his first four years in office. However, when Israel reluctantly declared a 10-month moratorium on construction, the Palestinians balked at returning to negotiations until shortly before the suspension expired and talks foundered shortly thereafter. The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem — territories Israel captured in the 1967 war — but indicate they are ready for minor adjustments to accommodate some settlements closest to Israel. Since 1967, Israel has built dozens of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem that are now home to 560,000 Israelis — an increase of 60,000 since Obama became president four years ago. Upon his return to Israel, the president told Israelis that in the search for peace they have “true partners” in Abbas and Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian prime minister. Obama is spending the majority of

his four-day Mideast trip in Israel, where the politicians and public have been skeptical of his commitment to their security. The president has sought to calm their concerns throughout his visit, reminding an audience of Israeli university students Thursday that the U.S. is their country’s best friend and most important ally. “You are not alone,” Obama declared as the crowd erupted in thunderous applause. Still, he nudged Israel to take steps to reverse an “undertow” of international isolation that is worsened by its failure to make peace with the Palestinians. In a region roiled by political unrest, Obama said the days when the Israelis can seek protection from a handful of autocratic leaders in other nations are over, and he urged them to seek common ground with the Arab people, not just their governments. Hours before Obama arrived in the West Bank, militants in the Gaza Strip launched at least two rockets at the southern Israeli town of Sderot, causing damage but no injuries, according to Israeli officials. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama visited the border town, which is frequently targeted in rocket attacks.

Planning for first LHS chem-free after prom party underway

LACONIA – Members of Freedom Found — an empowerment group at the Laconia High School — joined the Police Commissioner yesterday to promote the city’s first “Chem- Free” prom night event. “Chem-Free” night in Laconia is likely to include a bus ride from prom at Gunstock Inn to the movies and then to Fun Spot for the remainder of the evening. Breakfast will be served at Endicott Park the morning following prom. Working in conjuntion with the Laconia Police and with donations so far from Exxon Mobile, Meredith Village Savings Band and a local physician, the group hopes to raise about $5,000 so that every prom attendee can go the Chem Free night without paying. The purpose is so that prom goers can go some place fun after prom yet not be involved in risky

behavior such as alcohol, drugs or sex. The evening will be monitored by sponsors such as teachers, parents, and volunteer police officers. Chief Chris Adams said he expects police to donate over 100 hours to the event, including serving the breakfast that will be cooked by high school volunteers. School Resource Officer Steve Orton is the coordinator between the police and the school and noted that last year over 700 young people died in car accidents in the United States in May and June. While he said he can’t directly attribute the statistic to prom or graduation, he believes many of the deaths occurred on those nights. Capt.

The rebuilt substation, which went online March 14, provides electricity at 12.47 kilovolts (kv) in an area that runs from Route 175 in Holderness north to McDonalds on Route 3 and west to the end of Highland Street where it meets Tenney Mountain Highway. It also serves all of the university’s facilities. Prior to the recent renovations, the Green Street substation provided power at 5 kv and was not connected to other NHEC substations in the area. The refurbished substation has more than doubled that voltage capacity and is now connected to NHEC substations in Bridgewater and Fairgrounds Road in Plymouth. This means that for the first time, NHEC will be able to reroute power to downtown Plymouth in the event of a loss of power to the Green Street substation, or when the substation is de-energized for maintenance. Work scheduled for this summer will also tie NHEC’s Rumney substation to the Green Street, Fairgrounds Road and Bridgewater substations. “The work at Green Street represents a major investment in the reliability of electric service to downtown Plymouth,” said James Bakas, NHEC Vice President of Operations and Engineering. “Power outages have an economic impact, particularly in a commercial area like downtown Plymouth, so we’re glad to complete this project which should reduce the number and duration of outages there.” Work at the Green Street site included a significant expansion of the substation’s footprint and the installation of all new transformers and voltage regulators. Due to the proximity of the substation to the Pemigewasset River, a number of environmental measures were taken, including the construction of a retaining wall on the side that faces the river. Like other NHEC substations, the Green Street facility also has an oil containment system that includes a polypropylene membrane and a 2,000 gallon catch basin beneath the new transformers. NHEC is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative serving 83,000 homes and businesses in 115 New Hampshire communities.

Last call pushed back to 2 a.m.?

CONCORD (AP) — Bar patrons in New Hampshire have one more reason to toast, as the House approved a proposal to push back last call to 2 a.m. The House voted 208-123 Thursday to send the Senate a bill to allow on premises-licensees to continue operations for another hour. Opponents argued that the bill will lead to more underage drinking — especially on college campuses — but supporters prevailed, saying the law brings New Hampshire in line with surrounding states. They added that it will generate more tax revenue to the state and create more service jobs. The bill gives communities the option of keeping the current 1 a.m. closing time.

Gilford teachers organize massive 26 mile relay race to honor 26 Newtown victims GILFORD — Elementary School Guidance Counselor Danielle Bolduc and School Resource Officer Holly Harris are both runners. Each has participated in a number of marathons. Each woman was also profoundly saddened by the December shootings at a Connecticut elementary school that left 20 children and six administrators and teachers dead. “We both said we have to do something,” Bolduc said. What they decided was to host their own marathon — sort of — on Sunday, April 14. The two determined the distance from Gilford Elementary School to Laconia on a route that would touch by each of the city’s three elementary schools (Elm Street, Pleasant Street) and back to GES was 13.2 miles. Two trips around the loop, then, is just slightly longer than a traditional marathon. Although technically a marathon in distance, their race “is really more of a relay”, said Bolduc, noting

that people who are participating are typically running one leg of the eight-leg course. Each mile is dedicated to one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School. There will be five buses to shuttle people from one school to another. They created the 26 by 26 Foundation and all of the money raised will be donated on behalf of the Sandy Hook victims. The event will begin at 8 a.m. at the Gilford Elementary School on the date that will mark the fourth month anniversary of the shootings. Registration is from 6 to 8 p.m. at Patrick’s Pub on April 13, where participants can pickup their registration packets. The opening ceremony will be attended by some of the relatives of those who died at Sandy Hook and the Laconia Voice Ensemble will be singing. Bolduc said the marathon idea has been so popular they’ve had to close down the number of participants. To date, 1,500 people representing 340 teams

Rehearsals underway for Streetcar Company’s ‘Oliver!’ MEREDITH — Fifty years after it first appeared on Broadway, The Streetcar Company will present Lionel Bart’s classic musical Oliver! at Inter-Lakes Community Auditorium on April 26,27, 28. The first Charles Dickens work to become a stage hit, Oliver premiered in New York in January of 1963. Several revivals, and a Best Picture Oscar winning movie later, the story retains its charm and character following the orphan Oliver Twist through his trials and tribulations in the seedy backdrop of 1830s London. The audience will easily recognize the familiar toe tapping and poignant standards such as Consider Yourself, Where is Love and Who Will Buy to mention a few. Directed by Matt Demko with assistant director

duties handled by Braeden Alward, this presentation features over 60 performers and numerous production staff from many of the surrounding Lakes Region communities. Local choral director and voice teacher, Karen Jordan, and choreographer Amelia Hamilton-Miller are leading the cast through their musical paces along with accompanist, Phil Breton. Producers J Alward and Doreen Richards head up the technical side of the production overseeing costumes, set, props and the many other aspects of a show that together bring live theater to the stage. Tickets will be available soon at Greenlaw’s Music in Downtown Laconia and The Innisfree Bookstore in Meredith. For more information go to www.streetcarcompany.com .

“The Leadership College was a fascinating experience,” says Muresan, herself from Romania before becoming a LRCC Restaurant Management Honor Student. “I have gained a greater understanding of the career and leadership opportunities the Granite State has to offer.” Barss is studying Energy Services Technology. He is also an LRCC Honor Student who plans to transfer and earn a Bachelor’s Degree at Plymouth State University. The Leadership College program is a direct result of a recommendation made by a commission of former Governor Lynch to identify and retain graduates as new workers in New Hampshire. Support from Fidelity Investments, The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation made the program possible.

Public invited to celebrate Passover Seder at Temple B’nai Israel on March 26 LACONIA — Temple B’nai Israel continues its tradition of holding a second night community Passover Seder on Tuesday, March 26 at 5 p.m. Congregants welcome community and friends who wish to participate in the traditional rituals of remembrance and celebration of the Exodus from Egypt thousands of years ago. The eight day period of Passover traditionally begins with the removal of chametz (leavened foods including bread) from every Jewish household. During Pesach (Passover) only unleavened bread and foods are eaten. The rituals of the Seder meal on the first two nights of Passover follow the story of the Exodus told through the ritual

of four cups of wine (grape juice when required) and the symbolic Seder plate contents. The Passover story is followed by a sumptuous meal of Matzo ball soup, gefilte fish mold with homemade horseradish, chicken with apricot sauce, potato knishes, assorted vegetables and a potpourri of luscious desserts. The cost is $20 per adult, $10 for children under twelve. Joyous song concludes the evening’s festivities. Rabbi Hannah Orden will conduct the Seder. Irene Gordon is master chef of the evening and will accept reservations at 267-1935. Temple B’nai Israel is located at 210 Court Street in Laconia.

Rey Center Art Gallery opens a new art exhibit on the NH Fish and Game Friday March 22, entitled “Fish Go To School”, which is a Waterville Dept.’s Watershed Edu- Valley Elementary School Student Art Exhibit. (Courtesy photo) cation Program, Local Artist, Dianne Taylor Moore and the The gallery is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m Waterville Valley Elementary Wednesday-Saturday, March 15-March School students. This exhibit runs 30 and Saturdays, April 6-May 11. through May 11. An opening reception will be held

Friday, March 22 from 8-9:30 a.m. For more information contact the Rey Center at 603-236-3308 or email programs@thereycenter.org. Trout in the Classroom is a conservation-oriented environmental education program for elementary, middle, and high school students. Through the school year, students raise trout from eggs to fry and then release them into approved cold water streams and lakes. This act of raising, monitoring, and caring for young trout fosters a conservation ethic within participating students and promotes an understanding of their shared water resources. On January 16, brook trout eggs from the Berlin Fish Hatchery arrived at Waterville Elementary School and were placed in a 55 gallon tank. The tank is kept cool with a chiller that was donated by the Pemigewasset chapter of Trout Unlimited. With the help of the Rey Center’s Education Coordinator, Leigh Ann

Reynolds, the students learn about what conditions it takes for the survival of the fish while monitoring the temperature, pH, nitrite, and ammonia levels in the tank. The eggs have all hatched and the “brookies” are in what is called the “alevin” stage of development. They are surviving off their yolk sacs now, but will soon swim up looking for food. Using the temperature data and a development chart students calculate that the “alevin” will swim up around March 29. The brook trout will be released into the Mad River when conditions are right. Throughout this project students created art work with the help of Sara Nicolaisen (WVES art teacher) and Dianne Taylor Moore (local artist). The students’ work reflects what they have learned while raising trout. Visit the Margret and H.A. Rey Center to learn about the Trout in the Classroom project, the life cycle of brook trout and the local watershed.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I grew up with a sister who had substance abuse problems. While I studied hard, “Carla” dropped out of school and led a life of partying. My parents always made sure she was well provided for. Every time they gave her something expensive, my mother would say, “Don’t worry, you will get the same in my will.” Then one day, my parents told me they had signed over the family home to Carla. She told them I had agreed to it, but I never discussed it with her. But when I said this to my parents, they yelled and screamed and called me a liar. They said it didn’t matter anyway because they would make it up to me in the will. They then told me the value of the house for the sake of the will, which was a quarter of its actual worth. I suggested they get the house appraised, and they became angry. They also lied to our relatives about what happened, although when my parents die, it will be obvious that I received nothing from them. Annie, I have been a good son to my parents for my entire life. How can they do this to me? This hurts so much that it’s the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning. I am ready to walk away from my family. I deserve better. - LeftOut Son Dear Left Out: You do deserve better, but your parents feel so guilty and obligated toward Carla that they give her everything in a misguided attempt to protect her from herself. You cannot fix this. But you can forgive them and move forward. Accept that you are not likely to get an equitable share of their estate. If there is a specific item that you would like to have, it’s OK to ask your parents whether you can have it now, and tell them that you do not expect anything more. Once the inheritance is off the table, you will be able to have a relationship with your parents based on who they are and not on what you deserve to get as a reward for being a good

son. Dear Annie: I’ve been invited to the wedding of an old college friend who is gay. I am a Christian and believe that homosexuality is a sin. I will send my regrets. My question is: Do I send a gift? I know that traditional wedding etiquette says to send a gift when invited, but would a gift say I approve of and support her decision? What should I do? -- Reluctant Gift Giver Dear Reluctant: A gift does not indicate approval of the marriage. If that were the case, quite a few people would not receive one. You send a gift to wish your friend well. If you do not wish your friend well, and you do not attend the wedding, you do not need to send a card or a present. Dear Annie: This is for “Disappearing Connections,” the recently retired aunt who decided to “unburden” herself of possessions and offered some of her clothing to a niece. She’s now miffed because the niece has not thanked her. Stop it! You offered your niece a bunch of clothes you no longer wanted, and she was kind enough to accept them. Now you are acting like it was a gift and she needs to send you a thank-you note for stuff you didn’t want anymore. Go find a hobby, and give your clothes to a charity. Trust me, your niece does not want to wear clothes from an old lady. She was just being kind by accepting them in the first place. -- Been There Dear Been There: There is NO excuse for not acknowledging receipt of a package, especially when the niece asked to have the clothes. And the clothes were indeed a gift, regardless of where they originated. How unconscionably rude to thank someone only for those gifts you like. The niece should have said the package was received and thanked her aunt for taking the time to send it. Period.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Nothing good will come of forceful tools, attitudes and ways. A warm, soft style will help you stay connected to the people and things that make you feel safe. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people think that cheerful, relatable small talk is not intelligent. They’re wrong. We’re all affected by the weather, and talking about it might be the smartest way to build rapport. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Most of us want to avoid high-maintenance people and situations. If you want help, make it easy for others to get involved in what you’re doing. If a task is too involved, it won’t get done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you find yourself thinking that you can do it later, that’s called flinching. Flinching causes people to drop the ball. Use the moment in front of you. Assume you won’t get another chance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your creativity may get in the way of the logical statement you are trying to make. Let it interfere. There is a deep and trustworthy intelligence in your imagination. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 22). Dance when you’re asked, sing along, and when in doubt, say yes. Responses like these will hold you in good stead, as the year produces many spur-ofthe-moment opportunities that are not to be missed. April and May bring new business and financial betterment. Your focus on one relationship makes June special. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 35, 48, 20 and 11.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). How will you lull someone into your world? Good news! Right now, you don’t even have to try. The planets are on your side, so just show up and make your offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). By tracking what happened before, you’ll make a good guess as to what’s coming next. You’re excellent at detecting patterns and will use this skill to your advantage. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You like complicated people because they have an interesting point of view and usually add a spark of beauty, intellect or humor to your world. You also know better than to get too close. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may feel that what’s required of you is unfair. But the fact is that you are asked to do more because you are capable of more. Others see greatness in you, and they want to develop it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The requests that are made of you may initially seem difficult to fulfill, but instead of protesting or waffling, you’ll show your confidence by just saying yes. You’ll figure it out as you go. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your live-and-let-live policy is interrupted by someone who really does seem to need your insight and help. Tread carefully here. An egoless assist could make a huge difference in the life of another. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The difference between a pro and an amateur is that the pro won’t use as many words. Excuses, explanations and complaints aren’t a part of the pro’s repertoire.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, March 22, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, March 22, the 81st day of 2013. There are 284 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 22, 1963, The Beatles’ debut album, “Please Please Me,” was released in the United Kingdom by Parlophone. On this date: In 1312, Pope Clement V issued a papal bull ordering dissolution of the Order of the Knights Templar. In 1638, religious dissident Anne Hutchinson was expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for defying Puritan orthodoxy. In 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765 to raise money from the American colonies, which fiercely resisted the tax. (The Stamp Act was repealed a year later.) In 1820, U.S. naval hero Stephen Decatur was killed in a duel with Commodore James Barron near Washington, D.C. In 1894, hockey’s first Stanley Cup championship game was played; home team Montreal defeated Ottawa, 3-1. In 1933, during Prohibition, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure to make wine and beer containing up to 3.2 percent alcohol legal. In 1941, the Grand Coulee hydroelectric dam in Washington state went into operation. In 1943, the Khatyn Massacre took place during World War II as German forces killed 149 residents of the village of Khatyn, Belarus, half of them children. In 1958, movie producer Mike Todd, the husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor, and three other people were killed in the crash of Todd’s private plane near Grants, N.M. In 1978, Karl Wallenda, the 73-year-old patriarch of “The Flying Wallendas” high-wire act, fell to his death while attempting to walk a cable strung between two hotel towers in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 1988, both houses of Congress overrode President Ronald Reagan’s veto of the Civil Rights Restoration Act. In 1993, Intel Corp. unveiled the original Pentium computer chip. One year ago: Coroner’s officials ruled singer Whitney Houston died by drowning the previous February, but that heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors. In a dramatic end to a 32-hour standoff, a masked French SWAT team slipped into the Toulouse apartment of an Islamic extremist suspected of seven killings, sparking a firefight that ended with the suspect jumping out the window and being fatally shot in the head. Today’s Birthdays: USA Today founder Allen H. Neuharth is 89. Composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim is 83. Actor William Shatner is 82. Actor M. Emmet Walsh is 78. Actor-singer Jeremy Clyde is 72. Singer-guitarist George Benson is 70. Writer James Patterson is 66. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is 65. Actress Fanny Ardant is 64. Sportscaster Bob Costas is 61. Country singer James House is 58. Actress Lena Olin is 58. Singeractress Stephanie Mills is 56. Actor Matthew Modine is 54. Country musician Tim Beeler is 45. Actress Anne Dudek is 38. Actor Cole Hauser is 38. Actress Kellie Williams is 37. Actress Reese Witherspoon is 37. Rock musician John Otto (Limp Bizkit) is 36. Rock musician Lincoln Parish (Cage the Elephant) is 23.

Several local churches combining resources to go on mission trip to aid displaced Haitians SANBORNTON — Locally, Sanbornton’s First and Second Baptist along with some members of Northwood Congregational, Grace Capitol, Bedford Four Square and New England Pentacostal churches have been working together since September in preparation to go on mission in Dominican Republic. The team will be serving the Haitian families who have been dislocated from their motherland by their government for the purpose of harvesting sugar cane from the fields of LaRomana. These folks are not considered of any standing by the Dominican government and are no longer considered Haitian citizens by the Haitian government. They are modern day slaves with no homeland. The Haitians live in “Shack” communities known as Bateyes where there is no clean water to drink or to cook with and no sewage disposal.

The services provided by this effort include food and clothing distribution, installation and maintenance of home (shack) water filtration systems to remove bacteria from the water they drink and construction of the local Good Samaritan Hospital. Ground breaking for this hospital began in 1991 having completed the second floor in 2008 and continuing construction on the third floor at present. In addition to these services qualified members of the team will be participating in health, dental and eyeglass clinics. There will also be opportunities to spend time with Haitian families and the children of local orphanages. There are 21 men, women and youth on the team, which departs on April 19 and returns on April 27. The trip is administered by and coordinated through Good Samaritan Mission Council based in Holden Ma.
