Police think Meredith just drop point for Mass. pot buy

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A Worcester, Mass. man who was arrested Thursday by Meredith Police for having about 25 pounds of pot delivered to him may have ties to a larger marijuana ring,

said Lt. Keith True yesterday.

True said the United State Drug Enforcement Agency was contacted by them and the agency is conducting a wider investigation into Tuan N. Le, 49, of 21 Greenwood St. U2 of Worcester.

True said police believe Le is somehow part of a much wider drug ring that obtains lessthan-medical-grade, commercial marijuana from California and ships it to Meredith where it is returned back to Massachusetts by couriers.

He said Meredith Police got their tip from the Gilford Police who were notified by Federal Express about multiple deliveries to a rental house at 5 Lower Ladd Hill Road. He said Fed Ex security and Det. Cpl. John see POt page 8

Kozens will be new athletic director at Laconia High By adam drapchO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Craig Kozens, best known as Laconia High School’s football coach, will succeed Jim Chase as the school’s athletic director and dean of students, the school district announced yesterday.

Chase is retiring at the end of the

current school year.

In addition to his role as head football coach, Kozens also serves as assistant baseball coach and teaches math and physical education courses. He came to the Laconia School District 12 years ago, having previously taught and coached at the private New Hampton School.

Kozens will no longer be teaching at LHS. Instead, he’ll have more time to devote to athletics. “I have passion for athletics, it’s something I feel strongly about.”

Kozens was born into an athletic family. “I love being around it, my whole life I’ve submerged myself see KOZENs page 10

PHILADELPHIA — A 61-year-old French man was arrested at Philadelphia International Airport and charged with impersonating a pilot after airline officials found him in the cockpit of a plane scheduled for takeoff, police said Friday.

The crew of a US Airways flight bound for West Palm Beach, Fla., found Philippe Jernnard of La Rochelle, France, in the jump seat behind the pilot on Wednesday evening, removing him after he was unable to produce valid credentials and became argumentative, police said.

Jernnard, who was a ticketed passenger, was wearing a white shirt with an Air France logo and had a black jacket with epaulets on the shoulders, police said. Officer Christine O’Brien said police found him in possession of a counterfeit Air France crew member ID card.

Air France said Jernnard is not one of its employees and was not wearing the airline’s uniform.

N. Dakota lawmakers define life as starting at conception BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota didn’t set out to become the abortion debate’s new epicenter.

It happened by accident, after a legislative caucus that once vetted abortion bills languished, leaving lawmakers to propose a flurry of measures — some cribbed from Wikipedia — without roadblocks.

Long dismissed as cold and inconsequential, North Dakota is now trying to enact the toughest abortion restrictions in the nation. The newly oil-rich red state may

soon find itself in a costly battle over legislation foes describe as blatantly unconstitutional.

“It had to happen some place,” said Sen. John Andrist, a Crosby Republican who has served in the Legislature for more than two decades.

“I’m from the group who hates voting on abortion issues and who don’t like to play God,” said Andrist, who describes himself as “moderately pro-life” and has voted for some but not all of the restrictions North

Dakota has taken up this year. “But we have some strong-willed people in this state who do.”

Lawmakers on Friday took a step toward outlawing abortion altogether in the state by passing a so-called personhood resolution that says a fertilized egg has the same right to life as a person. The House’s approval sends the matter to voters, who will decide whether to add the wording to the state’s constitution in November 2014. see ABORTION page 6

CHICAGO (AP) — Under orders to trim hundreds of millions of dollars from its budget, the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday released a final list of 149 air traffic control towers that it will close at small airports around the country starting early next month.

The closures will not force any of those airports to shut down, but pilots will be left to coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves over a shared radio frequency with no help from ground controllers.

Those procedures are familiar to all pilots.

The list includes Nashua, N.H., where seven air traffic controllers at the Municipal Airport will be laid off next month and the airport’s tower will go dark.

Maintenance Manager Ronald Willey said staff felt like they “got shot in the heart” when they heard the news. All seven controllers are full time, he said.

Willey said 55,000 planes flew in and out of the airport — also known as Boire Field — last year.

The airport is a 24-hour operation, but the control towers currently are staffed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

“Some of these airplanes require a fulltime operating tower and all that stuff is going to go away,” said Willey.

The airport recently wrapped up a $26 million renovation.

The phase-out will begin April 7, the FAA said.

The FAA is being forced to trim $637 see AIRPORT TOWERS page 11

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — A pair of teenagers was arrested Friday and accused of fatally shooting a 13-month-old baby in the face and wounding his mother during their morning stroll through a leafy, historic neighborhood in southeast Georgia.

Sherry West had just been to the post office a few blocks from her apartment Thursday morning and was pushing her son, Antonio, in his stroller as they walked past gnarled oak trees and blooming azaleas in the coastal city of Brunswick.

West said a tall, skinny teenager, accompanied by a smaller boy, asked her for money.

“He asked me for money and I said I didn’t have it,” she told The Associated see BABY page 9

GOP must show support for Hispanic dreams Rarely does a political party issue a document so scathingly critical of itself and its most recent presidential nominee as the report of the five-member Growth and Opportunity Project of the Republican National Committee. It refers to Mitt Romney on occasion as “our presidential nominee” and notes disapprovingly of his reference, in the debate about immigration, to “self-deportation.” And while the report states modestly, “We are not a policy committee,” it does call for a policy — “comprehensive immigration reform” — that many, perhaps most, Republican members of Congress oppose.

I think there’s some risk here for the Republican National Committee. But there also may be some reward for Republicans generally.

The risk is of turning off officeholders and voters Republicans need to win elections and prevail on issues. The reward is Republicans might be able to win some elections they’d otherwise lose.

“If Hispanic Americans perceive that a GOP nominee or candidate does not want them in the United States (i.e., self-deportation), they will not pay attention to our next sentence,” the report says. “It does not matter what we say about education, jobs or the economy; if Hispanics think we do not want them here, they will close their ears to our advice.”

To this they contrast George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaign refrain: “Family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande, and a hungry mother is going to feed her child.”

Let me put it another way. To win someone’s vote, you need to be friendly to them and those they identify with.

My observation in travel over the years is that Hispanics are treated very differently by Anglos in Texas than in California.

In Texas, white Anglos see people with Hispanic features as fellow Texans. They smile and say howdy.

They know, because they have to take Texas history in high school, that Hispanics have been living in Texas for more than 200 years and that some fought for Texas independence against Mexico.

In California, white Anglos, liberal or conservative, treat people with Hispanic features as landscape workers or parking valet attendants. They look past them without speaking or hand them their car keys.

George W. Bush’s words about family values were very Texan, down to the reference to the Rio Grande.

That enabled him to win about 40 percent of Hispanic votes in 2004

(examination of county returns suggests that the exit poll number of 44 percent is a little high).

As for Romney, when he said “self-deportation,” he was actually describing something real. The folks at the Pew Hispanic Center have concluded, I think with some reluctance, that net migration from Mexico to the United States fell to around zero in the recession year 2007. There may have been more reverse migration than inward migration since then. But “self-deportation” and “reverse migration” are cold, abstract terms.

Politicians (and pundits) need to look beneath unfeeling statistics for the effect on the lives of actual human beings.

And when you look at the RealtyTrac numbers of foreclosures in the peak years of 2007 and 2010, you find that a majority were in four states — California, Nevada, Arizona and Florida.

When you look at the counties with high foreclosure rates, you’re looking at the Central Valley, the Inland Empire east of Los Angeles, metro Las Vegas and metro Phoenix.

You’re looking at tens of thousands of Hispanic homebuyers who were granted mortgages with little or no money down and that proved to be far beyond their capacity to service when housing crashed and the construction industry shut down. Many such mortgages were issued because of government policy favoring minority homeownership and because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pushed this policy hard.

This was bad public policy that shattered people’s dreams. Homebuyers had assumed they would amass wealth through supposedly inevitable housing price gains.

Instead, many — and others who witnessed this tragedy — gave up on the United States and moved back to Mexico.

Republicans can perhaps gain entree with Hispanic voters by supporting comprehensive immigration reform. At the very least, they need to avoid approaching this issue with the angry hostility you hear from too many callers on talk radio. But they also need to show an understanding of the realities these people are facing. They need to show the how their policies can help them achieve their dreams.

The Republican National Committee report is not a bad start.

(Syndicated columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner, is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)

LETTERS HB-617 stands up for our responsibility to maintain N.H. roads To the editor, No one likes taxes, even if it is a user fee — a road toll collected at the pump. But modern society relies upon the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on a well-maintained transportation network.

New Hampshire has enjoyed a stagnant gas tax rate for 20 years now — albeit at the cost of our decaying highway system. It was last raised by Governor Judd Gregg in 1991. In fact, Governor Gregg, a fiscally conservative Republican, saw fit to increase the rate twice in two years to address the growing need for construction and maintenance of N.H. roads and bridges.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that an increase in the tax would not increase the actual price at the pump at all. N.H. has the lowest rate of any state in New England and among the lowest in the nation. Yet our gas prices are comparable to surrounding states and the national average. That leads me to question whether we are lining petroleum companies’ pockets at the expense of one of our state’s greatest assets — our transportation system.

While taxes, or in this case a user fee, are easy for politicians to demagogue, it is important that the driving public consider the true costs of not maintaining our roads. Last year, as a result of bad roads, I had to replace both front coil springs in my pickup.

The total cost of the repairs exceeded $750. I would have to drive over 100,000 miles to realize that cost from a 15-cent increase, if reflected in the pump price. Yes — over 100,000 miles!

So what would an increase in the state’s gas tax mean for me? Under the proposed increased (15-cents phased in over four years), a trip in

my truck from Nashua to the Canadian border (200 miles) would cost an additional $1.50 in year four. That’s only 40 cents extra in year one for the privilege of using this state resource for the four hour ride! This is an insignificant increase when compared to the cost of wear on tires, reduced fuel efficiency, and broken suspension that results from that same trip on roads in poor condition now.

We’ve been watching our roads decay for 20 years. We need good roads for a thriving economy. We need good roads for the safety of our communities. Politicians from both sides of the isle recognize that the declining condition of our roads presents a serious problem however many have lacked the courage to provide leadership on this issue. They’ve fought to hold the line on the gas tax while saddling today’s motorists with higher maintenance cost, our state with a highway infrastructure in major disrepair, and our kids with $1 billion in road repairs that will continue to escalate in cost.

New Hampshire citizens are a frugal lot, but we understand responsibility and protecting our investments. We have an opportunity with House Bill 617 to stand up and responsibly say that we are willing pay to maintain this critical resource. Contact your elected officials and tell them it is time to take responsibility for New Hampshire’s largest investment. Pushing this problem on to future generations is unfair and unwise. After all, it has been a generation of doing nothing that has brought us to this point. We must recognize the heavy cost of doing nothing and the drag of poor roads on N.H.’s economy.

Why are Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld not on trial for war crimes?

To the editor, Recently, we marked the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War. Thousands of brave Americans lost their lives and tens of thousands more were wounded physically, mentally, and spiritually. These patriotic American men and women sacrificed themselves in a war based on lies and misinformation. Many more Iraqis were killed. The military-industrial

complex squandered American blood and treasure on a lie.

In 1946, many of the German defendants in the Nuremberg Trials were convicted of the crime of “conspiracy to wage aggressive war” along with other crimes. At that time the United States recognized that waging an aggressive and unprovoked war was an international crime. see next page

LETTERS If you think this country’s so bad, pick up atlas & find a new one To the editor, I want to remind the readers of The Laconia Daily sun to be sure to read the column written in Thursday’s paper by Pat Buchanan.This is the first column written I’ve read by a right-wing party member who has finally written the truth about the war in Iraq and what a failure it was.I also want to remind everyone to watch a rerun of the documentary HUBRIS on MSNBC Friday night at 9 p.m. This is spoken live by the lies and liars who tell them.

I hope Steve Earle and all his rightwing buddies have got something to say about this column and documentary. I want to inform Mr. Earle on his comments on me comparing the war in Vietnam to violence in this country as different as apples to oranges. I was trying to explain that many deaths in Vietnam were the results of friendly fire. I doubt you can find a veteran of any conflict doesn’t know that this is a fact, Steve. Furthermore, this country reports death by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Steve, you wrote of one such incident yourself — about the young lady killed in Chicago who was shot one week after marching in a parade in Washington D.C.

I think if you were take a trip to Barstow, California on Interstate 40, you will see solar panels as far as you can see. When you leave there, go north on Interstate 5 to Livermore, California and you will see enough windmills to cover a good share of N.H.. I hauled them out there by the tractor trailer load from Burlington Mass. for years.

I can’t understand why you continue to make cheap shots about things you have NO knowledge about. If your looking to argue, I will oblige in a friendly conversation anytime.

You wrote about us being in the poor bracket and having trouble paying for fuel gas etc. I will look for your letter condemning your party for wanting to do away with Social Security and Medicare, which we both qualify for, and hand out vouchers to get your own insurance. Steve, your party got wiped off the map the last election.

They are fighting each other and don’t know what direction to go in. If this country is so bad as you say, pick up a atlas and find a place you’d rather be.

In the meantime have fun with your gumboot chiton snails. I’ll get up and put another stick of wood on the fire.

I’m happy to see high standards still maintained at Nursing Home To the editor, Dear Mr. Matthew Logue, Administration of the Belknap County Nursing Home: On behalf of Terri Gordon and myself, I am writing to express our appreciation for the excellent care recently provided to her brother and my friend, Richard Bequpre.

The nurses, LNA’s, doctors, support staff and even housekeeping provided kindness, patience, and compassionate care that were often above and beyond what we could have expected.

These individuals are examples of the kind of people that Belknap County must be proud of having as employees.

The nursing home was a cheerful place — with the positive attitudes of staff and also the cleanliness of the surroundings, both of which are immediately obvious.

Care was shown, not only to Richard as the patient, but also to us as

caregivers, and the understanding and support expressed has been very much appreciated.

I first became familiar with BCNH when my father, Brad Sprague, was a County Commissioner. BCNH had a special place in his heart and, during the 18 years he served, he regularly went into the home to visit residents and express appreciation to the staff.

On holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, Dad would require us as a family to go and visit as well.

Although this recent experience has been difficult, I was happy to see the high standards continue to be maintained at BCNH. I will continue to speak highly of the care provided at BCNH and its important role in our community Thank you and keep up the good work!

N.H. tea party groups never asks their members for money To the editor, It has come to our attention that some N.H. residents have been receiving phone calls by out-of-state groups calling themselves “tea party”. These calls are for the purpose of soliciting donations.

We would like the residents of N.H. to know that our tea party group in N.H. is non-partisan and NOT affili-

ated with any of these GOP PACs from Washington DC, and that our group will NEVER ask our members for money.

We would like to advise everyone to question any groups who call them to find out exactly who they are before donating over the phone.

Jane Aitken, Communications N.H. Tea Party Coalition

from preceding page Why do we not apply these same standards to our own leaders? Why are George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld not on trial or even under indictment or investigation?

Why are they being treated as “senior statesmen” and not as the war criminals they really are?

Retiring WOW Trail board chair Diane Hanley used a giant pair of patriotic scissors to open the first phase of Laconia’s recreational pathway. (Courtesy photo)

Diane Hanley stepping down as chair of WOW Trail board; Allan Beetle moves up LACONIA — After overseeing stewardship of the WOW Trail organization for the last eight years, Board of Directors Chair Diane Hanley is stepping aside. Hanley is a founding board member and has been its leader since 2005, stepping up with the passing of WOW Trail founder and then city councilor Fred Toll.

Hanley oversaw the construction of Phase I of the trail, from Lakeport Square to downtown Laconia.

Allan Beetle, also a founding board member, will now move to chairman.

“We are all so grateful for the leadership Diane has given us over the years,” said Beetle. “And we are very happy that she will continue helping us in our mission to build nine miles of trail through Laconia as part of the county wide rail trail effort to span from Franklin to Meredith.”

With Hanley’s departure, the WOW Trail group has decided it is time to bring on an executive director to help manage the execution of the organiza-

tion’s goals and projects.

“Like other non-profit groups, the WOW Trail organization has reached the stage of needing an executive director,” said Hanley. The board is excited to bring on someone who will help us build the momentum of this project.

The community wants to see this get done sooner than later, bringing health, recreation and economic benefits to the community along with it”.

The group is now focusing its efforts on Phase II, which will essentially double the trail by extending from downtown to the Belmont town line.

Hanley will continue volunteering with the group by leading the Phase II design and construction committee as well as grant writing.

“I really enjoy and support the trail and plan to keep contributing, but I realize that changing up leadership from time to time is a good management practice,” said Hanley.

More information about the WOW Trail is available at www.wowtrail.org.

ABORTION from page 2 It’s one of several anti-abortion measures to pass the Legislature.

Most are awaiting the signature of Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who hasn’t yet indicated whether he supports the laws. Even if he were to veto them, some could have the support for the Legislature to override him.

One bill would prohibit abortion if a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Another would make North Dakota the only state to prohibit women from having the procedure because a fetus has a genetic defect, such as Down syndrome.

Though similar proposals in other states have faced fierce opposition, almost all of the anti-abortion measures in North Dakota this year have passed with little debate and with overwhelming support. One Democrat, Sen. Connie Triplett, walked out of the Senate in a silent protest during debate last week on the genetic abnormalities bill, knowing her vote wouldn’t keep the measure from passing.

The only significant measure to fail so far was a second personhood bill debated Friday that would have auto-

matically defined in state law that life begins at conception. Lawmakers worried the wording would jeopardize couples’ efforts to get pregnant using in vitro fertilization.

So why is this happening in North Dakota, and why now?

The answer lies in part with the disintegration of an anti-abortion caucus that used to take the lead on introducing bills aimed at the procedure. Longtime Sen. Tim Mathern, a Democrat from Fargo who once led the caucus, said the group favored a more gradual approach to ending abortion in the state, focusing on measures it thought would withstand legal challenges. Without the caucus, some of the Legislature’s most ardent abortion opponents are taking up the cause, introducing bills crafted by outof-state organizations or from examples found on the Internet.

Mathern, a Roman Catholic, fears the approach could backfire in the courts and with the state’s residents.

“In the long term, no question, it hurts,” he said.

Starting Monday, South Main St. traffic will be affected by water & sewer project LACONIA — Work will begin in earnest on Monday on a sanitary sewer and water main upgrade on South Main Street which will bring alternating one-lane traffic to area until late May. The affected area runs from Sunflower Natural Foods to just past the Pine Street-Bowman Street area on South Main Street.

Laconia Public Works Director Paul Moynihan says that the first phase of the project will see new water lines installed by the city Works Department and that phase will run from Monday, March 25 through Friday, April 5.

Sewer line work will start on April 8 and is expected to be completed on May 24, just before Memorial Day weekend.

He said that a traffic control plan has been developed which will have traffic control personnel in place and that every effort will be made to provide access to businesses throughout the construction period, including the placement of signs indicating “Access to Businesses Open”.

Moynihan said that during critical phases of construction, the lowest ends of Pine St. and Bowman St. will be closed for periods of time.

Some of the businesses in the area will have temporary water lines and on Thursday night both Vista Foods

and Dunkin Donuts will be without water from 7 p.m. to 4-5 a.m. on Friday as the water lines are replaced.

The sewer project will replace clay sewer lines which date back to the 1890s and have been a problem for at least the last 10 years due to misaligned joints and small cracks which are allowing groundwater infiltration of the system.

Moynihan said the biggest area of concern to the DPW in recent years has been the poor performance of a sewer siphon that loops under a sizable drainage box culvert at the intersection of Pine Street and South Main Street, where clogs have occurred and evidence of broken clay pipes have being found during pipe cleaning efforts. ‘’We worked with consulting engineers and found that there was room enough at the top of the box culvert so that we could put the new line right through that area without having to go underneath the culvert again,’’ said Moynihan.

He said that the pavement in the project area will be ground up and reclaimed all the way from the Bowman Street area up to Melcher and Prescott and that the road will be repaved by the end of May, with another layer of asphalt scheduled to be put down in the fall. Sidewalks will also be upgraded and granite curbing installed during the final phase of the project.

from preceding page proposals didn’t formally go away.

Mathern said it just “petered out little by little” in recent years, amid disagreements over what approach to take with legislation.

The group often whittled proposals down to just a few, if any, bills each session that had the backing of lawmakers and national anti-abortion groups.

“The problem was we could never get all the groups on the same page,” Bismarck Republican Sen. Margaret Sitte said.

Sitte introduced some of this year’s anti-abortion measures, including the “personhood” resolution. She said the idea came from her heart — with inspiration from former President Ronald Reagan and legal language lifted from an online encyclopedia.

“There was no grandiose plan,” Sitte said, adding that the template for the personhood resolution came from a quick

web search. “It came from Wikipedia.”

Sitte and other abortion foes acknowledge they want to shut down North Dakota’s only abortion clinic, which is in Fargo, the state’s largest city. They also hope to challenge the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v.

Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until a fetus is considered viable, usually around 22 to 24 weeks into a pregnancy.

Jordan Goldberg, state advocacy counsel for the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, said the measures are backed by large anti-abortion organizations or smaller “fringe” groups.

“None of the bills originated in North Dakota. All the bills came from out of state, every single one of them,” Goldberg said.

Critics of North Dakota’s proposals say the state of about 700,000 residents is setting itself up for a costly legal battle that would be tough to win.

Boat show this weekend at Gilford Hills GILFORD — For the first time in a long time, the Lake Winnipesaukee area will host a boat show. The N.H. Lakes Region Boat Show will be held today and tomorrow at the Gilford Hills Indoor Tennis Club, and will feature many of the local businesses that cater to the wet set.

The show is organized by Premier Events and the New Hampshire Marine Trades Association. Doors will be open today from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., extended hours to accommodate spring skiers, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The admission fee is $7.

According to Tim James, executive director of Premier Events, the Lakes Region hasn’t had a boat show since the early 1980s, and he’s hoping this weekend’s event will become a yearly happening for the region and as anticipated as the Laconia World Championship Sled Dog Derby and the Timberman Triathlon at Gunstock.

James said the show will feature about a dozen local marinas, who will fill the tennis club with powerboats, personal water craft and kayaks.

There will also be a section of the floor dedicated to fishing, AutoServ is bringing vehicles capable of towing boats. There will also be a caricature artist and a masseuse on hand, and WLNH radio will be broadcasting live on both days.

At least one person will be going home from the show with a new boat.

A raffle of a boat, proceeds from the raffle tickets will benefit the Laconia Ice Arena, will be held. Only 700 tickets will be sold at $50 each, said James. There will also be other giveaways throughout the weekend.

“I’m trying to make it so that when they come here, it feels like an event,” said James. “We’re trying to make it a long-term, annual event.”

BELMONT — A three-car accident across near the intersection of Routes 106 and Route 140 and in front of the Fire Station sent two people to the hospital and snarled traffic in the area yesterday at 2:45 p.m.

Cpl. Steve Akerstrom said a minivan was heading out of the Irving Station onto Gilmanton Road where there are two lanes of traffic at that intersection — one for going straight through the light and onto Route 140 and one for making a left turn on to Route 106.

As the van was leaving the parking

lot, Akerstron said the car driving in the straight-through lane stopped to let the van out but the car in the leftturn lane didn’t and collided with the van as it entered the road.

He said one car was pushed into the car that initially stopped.

Fire Lt. Fred Greene said two people were taken to Lakes Region General Hospital with what he described as non-life threatening injuries.

Belmont Police diverted traffic from the area for about an hour while they investigated the crash.

POT from page one Eichhorn verified the contents of the packages before Eichhorn got a van and made the delivery to Le. He said the shipment came in two boxes, each about 18 square inches.

When Eichhorn, driving a van obtained from the Department of Public Works and dressed in jeans, a sweatshirt and a Red Sox cap, brought one box to the door, Le said he would sign for it but told him he was expecting two boxes.

He signed for both and was arrested without incident by Eichhorn and True.

“Le was very polite about it,” said True who noted that Le told him he was born in Vietnam and emigrated to Louisiana before moving to Worcester. He told True that he was married and had been laid-off from his job as a machine operator for about one year.

He said his investigation showed Le had paid cash for the house for one week and didn’t provide a credit card. The property rental company said Le has paid for the same house twice in the past, always for one week or less and always in cash.

In addition, he said the most recent delivery to 5 Lower Ladd Hill Road was made on March 19 and the man who signed for it put the package in his car and drove away from the house.

True said Le’s car is registered in Massachusetts and was impounded and towed.

Since he has no family ties to New Hampshire and rents his apartment in Worcester, True asked for $50,000 cash bail and a proof of the source of the money should he post bail.

Judge Jim Carroll agreed and also made Le surrender his passport.

Armed bandit hits Tilton antique store

TILTON — Police continue to investigate the armed robbery of a downtown antiques store that happened Thursday just after 5 p.m.

Det. Matthew Dawson said a lone male wearing a ski mask entered the store and, brandishing a handgun, demanded the owner give him the money in the register and the night deposit bag. He also took money from her pocketbook and told he to go into the bathroom and wait.

“It’s crazy,” said Dawson who noted this is the fourth armed robbery in the past year in Tilton. “We’ve had two at LaChances, one at the Big Apple and now this one.”

Police had made arrests in all three of the aforementioned robberies.

The man was described as between 5-feet 8-inches and 6-feet tall, white, and wearing jeans and a dark jacket.

He fled in an unknown direction.

Ella’s Antique and Consignment is a small store in the middle of Main Street in Tilton. Just a few doors from the Tilton Town Hall, Dawson noted that the chief’s cruiser was parked on School Street while he was attending a Selectman’s meeting at the time of the robbery.

Dawson said the victim was very shaken but was not injured.

Dawson said they are investigating a number of leads and ask anyone with any information to call the Tilton Police at 286-4442.

Gilford Police use Humvee to trackdown gunshots coming from Liberty Hill GILFORD — Police yesterday arrested a Tilton man on an outstanding warrant for criminal mischief after responding to a remote area behind Camp Winsheblo on Liberty Hill for a report of gunshots.

Sgt. Corey O’Connor said the department used the military surplus Humvee that was donated to the town to access the remote site.

O’Connor said police found four men

shooting at targets. One man, Ryan Kenney, 35, of 251 Main St. Apt. 4 had an outstanding warrant and was taken to the Gilford Police Station where he was processed and released on personal recognizance bail.

O’Connor said police get numerous reports of gunfire in the area and are looking into posting the part of the area that is town property.

BABY from page 2 Press Friday from her apartment, which was scattered with her son’s toys and movies.

“When you have a baby, you spend all your money on babies. They’re expensive. And he kept asking and I just said ‘I don’t have it.’ And he said, ‘Do you want me to kill your baby?’

And I said, ‘No, don’t kill my baby!’”

Authorities said one of the teens fired four shots, grazing West’s ear and striking her in the leg, before he walked around to the stroller and shot the baby in the face.

Seventeen-year-old De’Marquis Elkins is charged as an adult with firstdegree murder, along with a 14-year-old who was not identified because he is a juvenile, Police Chief Tobe Green said.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the boys had attorneys.

Police announced the arrest Friday afternoon after combing school records and canvassing neighborhoods searching for the pair. The chief said the motive of the “horrendous

act” was still under investigation and the weapon had not been found.

“I feel glad that justice will be served,” West said. “It’s not something I’m going to live with very well. I’m just glad they caught him.”

West said detectives showed her photographs of about 24 young men.

She pointed to one, saying he looked like the gunman.

“After I picked him, they said they had him in custody,” West said. “It looked just like him. So I think we got our man.”

West said she thought the other suspect looked much younger: “That little boy did not look 14.”

The slaying happened around the corner from West’s apartment in the city’s Old Town historic district. It’s a street lined with grand Victorian homes from the late 1800s. Most have been neatly restored by their owners. Others, with faded and flaking paint, have been divided into rental units like the apartment West shared with her son. The slain boy’s father, Luis Santiago, lives in a house across the street.

Gunstock plans to keep slopes open through April 7 GILFORD — “We will run out of skiers before we run out of snow,” said Greg Goddard, general manager of Gunstock Mountain Resort, who announced yesterday that the ski trails will close on Sunday, April 7. “Tonight will be the last night for night skiing and Sunday will be the last day for tubing.”

This weekend Gunstock is offering two-for-one lift tickets to residents of Belknap County. Goddard said that the snowfall last week created some of the best skiing conditions of the season. With between 21 inches

and 37 inches of packed powder, all trails are open.

Goddard said that last year Gunstock closed on March 21, when the temperature touched 83 degrees.

This year four feet of snow in February, more in March and cool temperatures has stretched the season by a little more than two weeks. Goddard said that whatever the conditions the ski area must close to allow time to service and convert the chair lifts for the beginning of the summer season in early May. — Michael Kitch

KOZENS from page one in athletics since day one.” He believes that athletics teaches young people how to be better students, budget their time and learn life lessons. Kozens has often believed that his players should strive to be “good people first, good athletes second.”

In making the announcement, Superintendent Bob Champlin said, “Craig Kozens is an outstanding role model for our student athletes, our coaches, and our programs. He has made significant contributions on the playing fields, in the classroom, and

has helped develop the ‘Laconia Way’ that we aspire to achieve in all our interscholastic competitions.

His ‘24-7’ approach to supporting young people has benefited so many.”

As dean of students, Kozens will work with the principal and assistant principal to help facilitate the school day and provide discipline where needed.

“If I can make good relationships with the students here, I can help them make good decisions,” he said.

Chase will officially retire on June 30; Kozens will assume his new role on July 1.

TRUCK from page one ing the scene of an accident, one count of disobeying a police officer, and two felony count of reckless conduct for placing the life of another in danger.

He was ordered held on $8,000 cash bail, which New Hampton Police Chief Merritt “Doug’’ Salmon said he has posted.

According to affidavits obtained from court, the incident began in Sanbornton where the victim lives.

Police said the victim told them she was leaving her mother’s home when McLeod blocked the road. She said he got out of his truck and, when she refused to unlock her car door, began punching the window.

The victim said she went around McLeod truck and began heading toward New Hampton on Route 132. She called 9-1-1 and the operator kept her on the line while McLeod allegedly followed her.

She said McLeod tried to pass her and run her off the road but she was able to make a right on to Shingle Camp Hill Road in New Hampton. Affidavits said McLeod slammed into the back of her car, pushing her up the hill.

She said she pulled into the Circle K convenience store on Route 104 but didn’t see any police, so she continued east on Route 104. When she tried to turn around at the intersection of Route 104 and Route 132, McLeod allegedly rammed her again. She said he got out of his truck

and began punching her windows again.

When police from New Hampton, Bristol, Meredith and the N.H. State Police began to converge on the area, he is said to have fled. A Bristol Police officer recognized McLeod’s truck and attempted to stop him.

Police said McLeod drove faster and turned south on to Route 132 with the Bristol Police following him and the New Hampton Police trying to cut him off on a southern section of Route 132.

The Bristol officer said McLeod turned around and began heading toward him in what Salmon described as a 3/4-ton truck. The Bristol officer moved to the right and McLeod didn’t hit him but soon abandoned his truck halfway up a driveway off Route 132.

Police located the truck and found footprints headed into the wood. State Police and Meredith Police along with a N.H. State Police K-9 began tracking him but after about two miles the tracks led back to Route 132 where police believed someone picked him up.

While police were tracking McLeod a N.H. State Trooper stayed with the victim and took her to he New Hampton Police Station.

Salmon said he was amazed that the victim was able to keep control of her vehicle while McLeod was allegedly ramming her with his truck. Salmon said the see next page

from preceding page damage to her car reflected the story she told police.

Affidavits said she refused to seek an order of protection because she said “she had had them in the past and McLeod does not care about them and will do whatever he wants.”

Salmon said police continue to investigate the circumstances behind incident and said additional charges could be forthcoming. One of the conditions of McLeod’s bail is that he not enter the town of Sanbornton and that he stay away from her and her family.

N.H. car dealers say bill that just passed Senate helps level playing field with manufacturers

By Michael Kitch

san majority of 21 to 2. Senators Peter Bragdon (R-Milford), president of the Senate, and John Reagan (R-Deerfield) were the lone dissenters while Hosmer’s husband, Senator Andrew Hosmer (D-Laconia), vice-president of AutoServ of Tilton, did not vote, citing a conflict of interest.

The bill now goes before the House of Representatives where Pete McNamara, president of the NHADA, said he was optimistic that it would succeed.

McNamara said that the relationship between dealerships and manufacturers is regulated by law in all 50 states and that the New Hampshire statute

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — Donna Gaudet Hosmer of Laconia, a principal of the AutoServ dealerships of Tilton and Laconia who chairs the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association (NHADA), said yesterday that by strengthening current law, Senate Bill 126, the “Dealer Bill of Rights,” will help to ensure a balanced relationship between local dealerships and national manufacturers.

Sponsored by 20 of the 24 members of the New Hampshire Senate, SB-126 carried this week by a biparti-

(RSA 357-C) was enacted in 1981.

Donna Gaudet Hosmer explained that the NHADA, which represents more than 550 car, truck, motorcycle, heavy equipment and recreational vehicle dealers, sought to stiffen the law when relations between dealerships and manufacturers soured during and after the Great Recession.

Threatened with collapse, manufacturers, especially Chrysler Corporation and General Motors, closed some 1,700 dealerships across the country and called in the “floor plans”, the credit lines that finance inventory, at others, she said. Stressing that dealerships are small, independent businesses that together employ some 14,400 people in the state, Hosmer said that “we all struggled through the last few years.”

As the industry began to recover, Hosmer said that car makers required dealerships to construct new or renovate old facilities to designs and specifications set by manufacturers. “I call them ‘garage-mahals,’” she remarked.

Moreover, she said that dealerships had to purchase materials and furnishings from vendors, usually located outside New Hampshire, specified by the manufacturers.

SB-126, McNamara said, follows the lead of other states by prohibiting manufacturers from requiring

the construction and renovation of new facilities more frequently than once in 15 years. He said that there is no evidence that uniform facilities have any impact on sales. Likewise, the bill authorizes dealerships to deal with local contractors and suppliers.

McNamara said that the bill “will stop the unfair pressure and spending mandates passed down to us from manufacturers.”

Hosmer emphasized the importance of the capacity to “shop local,” noting that like other businesses, automobile dealers are members of the community who establish and sustain relationships with neighboring businesses by patronizing them whenever possible. “We want to price shop, but we also want to shop locally when we can,” she said.

A unique feature of SB-126 would offer dealers access to manufacturer’s files on dealerships, which are akin to the personnel files of employees.

If access is denied, the bill would forestall manufacturers from using information from the files to make decisions about allocating inventory or qualifying dealers for sales promotions and pricing events.

Stressing that dealerships are independent businesses, Hosmer said that the pressure from manufacturers see next page

NO PILOT from page 2 Jernnard got into the cockpit, but one security expert said he didn’t view it as a breach.

Pilots can typically ride for free in the jump seat of another airline, but they must make arrangements ahead of time and their presence would be noted on a passenger manifest. That manifest is reviewed by the pilot before takeoff — meaning that Jernnard didn’t have a chance of remaining, said Douglas Laird, former security director for Northwest Airlines.

“The guy can’t do any harm sitting up there. He has no access to the controls sitting there. I think the system worked,” said Laird, who now runs an from preceding page weighs especially heavily on the smaller operations in rural areas, for which the cost of conforming to the manufacturer’s requirements is onerous. She feared manufacturers would target dealerships that failed to conform, which could ultimately lead to a less competitive marketplace overshadowed by “mega dealers.”

Hosmer said that while SB-126 aims to protect dealerships by ensuring their balanced relationship with manufacturers, it also preserves competition, which is ultimately beneficial to the consumer.

airline security consultancy in Reno, Nev. Police said there’s no indication Jernnard meant any harm. A US Airways spokeswoman referred questions to the FBI, which confirmed it is investigating but declined to comment Friday.

O’Brien said Jernnard initially became upset at the gate when he asked to be upgraded to business class.

“The (US Airways) employee gate agent told the male there was no space left in business class. He became irate,” O’Brien said.

Jernnard then boarded the plane and made his way to the jump seat.

He was charged with criminal trespass, forgery, records tampering, false impersonation of a person

privately employed, and providing false identification to law enforcement. He was jailed on $1 million bail pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 5. Federal charges are also expected.

Jernnard is represented by the Philadelphia public defender’s office, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Jernnard’s stunt mirrored one by con man Frank Abagnale Jr., whose exploits were chronicled in the 2002 hit film “Catch Me If You Can.” In the movie, Abagnale, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is able to make his way into a plane’s cockpit, bluffing his way past security and distracting the FBI by donning a pilot’s uniform.

N.H. sugarhouses welcome public for Maple Weekend CONCORD (AP) — More than 100 of New Hampshire’s sugarhouses are throwing open their doors to visitors this weekend as the farmers who turn sap to syrup said they’re optimistic the sometimes-fickle weather will make for a productive season.

The New Hampshire Maple Producers association said about 120 members have signed on, but many others also are likely to welcome guests, showing them how the sap gets boiled down into sweet, deli-

cious syrup, publicist Robyn Pearl said.

“If you see steam, feel free to stop,” she said.

Farms will be serving up everything from mapleglazed doughnuts and sugar on snow to coffee brewed with sap and maple baked beans. And while cold temperatures following last week’s snowstorm slowed the flow of sap in some places, several producers said Friday they were optimistic about having enough to boil during the weekend.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

PMI: Prime Minister of India Residential home sales in the Lakes Region towns covered by this report in February were not very spectacular. There were just 46 homes sold at an average price of $268,188 with a median price point of $169,000. We had 59 sales last February but with a lower average price of $209,025 and a lower median price point of $145,000. Sixty

six percent of the sales were below the $200,000 mark. It is really great to see the average sales price up for the month and there was a big cheer in the press about it, but on a rolling 12 month basis our average sales and median price is still a bit lower than the previous 12 months. I wish we could get

both the ying and the yang going in the right direction every month, but that might be asking for a little too much.

So what is PMI? PMI stands for a lot of things.

There’s the Prime Minister of India who everyone knows is Manmohan Singh, a household name... maybe in New Delhi. In business, it stands for Phillip Morris International, in the computer world it can stand for Portable Management Interface, and there are those in certain circles that recognize it as the Plumbing Manufacturers International association. In the wonderful world of real estate PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance which is exactly that; a privately issued insurance policy that partially protects the lender who has loaned money to a homebuyer who could not come up with a 20 percent down payment to buy a home. While PMI is an additional cost, it has helped many buyers get into a home who otherwise would not get a loan. After all, lending someone a couple hundred grand to buy a home when the buyer has only a few thousand dollars, a ball of lint, and a marble collection as a down payment does not seem like a wise investment for any bank or mortgage company.

In today’s market, a majority of the loans we see are FHA and require only a 3.5 percent down payment. These loans do not have Private Mortgage Insurance, but rather a type of Mortgage Insurance (MI) backed by good old Uncle Sam (MI also stands for Mission Impossible...which it would be for some home owners without it.) Historically, homeowners that have FHA loans and were in their homes for five years had been able to get rid of their MI Premium when the value of the property they purchased reaches 78 percent of the loan (LTV.) That happens as the principal is paid down or when the value of the property increased see next page

Speed Schmoozing event hosted by Women Inspiring Women in Nashua NASHUA — Recognizing that networking and relationship building are keys to business success, Women Inspiring Women will be holding a Speed Schmoozing event on Thursday, March 28 at the Crowne Plaza, 2 Somerset Parkway, Nashua.

This event will be similar to 5-minute networking and involves women meeting one another for a short interval and then moving on to the next person in line in a very fun, exciting and comfortable way. It is a great opportunity to meet other business professionals in a short period of time and gain visibility.

Mingling and munchies will be from 5

to 5:45 p.m. and the schmoozing session runs from 5:45 to 8 p.m. Reservations are required as space is limited. Reservations are needed at wiwnh.com and are $30 for members and $45 for nonmembers if made before March 21.

According to Leslie Sturgeon, Founder of Women Inspiring Women, “Networking and building solid contacts are critical to career growth, business expansion and learning about other resources.” She added, “Our event will provide attendees with a quick and effective way to meet other professionals to gain exposure for their businesses.”

LACONIA — Irwin Toyota Scion of Laconia has been awarded the prestigious Toyota President’s Award for superior Sales and Service Satisfaction for 2012.

Each year, Toyota Motor Sales recognizes its top Toyota dealerships with the coveted President’s Award.

It’s one of the highest honors that a car dealer can receive from Toyota, and is only awarded to those that have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining Toyota’s high standards for customer satisfaction. Irwin’s staff

and leadership is proud that Irwin Toyota has been recognized with this award, a tribute to excellent customer relations in sales and service.

“One of Toyota’s primary goals is to emphasize the entire ownership experience, and here at Irwin Toyota of Laconia, we walk that talk, whether you bought your Toyota here in Laconia or another surrounding city. We want to make sure that our customers are satisfied not only at the time of purchase, but as long as they own their vehicle,” said Chris Irwin, Vice President of Irwin Toyota.

from preceding page (remember the good old days?) The problem is that the FHA is still on the hook for the full amount of these federally insured loans even after the MI is cancelled upon reaching that 78 percent Loan to Value. One government analysis showed that 10-12 percent of the claims come after the MI is cancelled, leaving Uncle Sam holding the proverbial bag of do-do. The “claims” really means that someone lost their house. In order to avoid these losses, any loans registered with HUD after June 3, 2012 will require the borrower to pay PMI for the entire life of their loan. The only exception is if the borrower puts at least 10 percent down and then the MIP will last for a minimum of 11 years. That may seem like a big deal, but it really isn’t as most homeowners will end up refinancing anyway or perhaps even selling and buying another home down the road.

Maybe the bigger news is that as of April 1, 2013 FHA is also going to increase the size of its bite on the Mortgage Insurance Premium by 10 basis points or by .10 percent. Right now, FHA has an upfront MI Premium of 1.75 percent and a monthly MI Premium of 1.25 percent. On a $150,000 home purchase this is what the MI looks like: The buyer is required to have a 3.5 percent down payment or $5,250, making the base loan amount of $144,750. The upfront MI Premium of $2,533.13 is added to that making the total loan amount of $147,283.13.

This is not really an out of pocket upfront cost as it is rolled into the loan so the buyer doesn’t really feel it. The current monthly MI Premium of 1.25 percent of the loan amount in this case would be $147,283.13 X 1.25 per-

cent or $1,841 per year or $153.42 per month. After April 1, the rate becomes 1.35 percent which increases the monthly premium to $165.69. So basically, it’s another $12 out of a buyer’s pocket every month on this size loan.

Now that may not be earth shattering by itself, but nothing else is going down in cost either!

What else can you do? There are other options out there such as Rural Development loans which have a 2 percent upfront “guarantee fee” and only a .40 annual MI rate so that may be a better option for some buyers. There are some programs on conventional loans where lenders pay the PMI but the borrower pays a higher interest rate which can also save you some money. VA loans have no PMI so perhaps you can do a short stint in the Navy, see the world, and then buy a house. To qualify for a lower PMI rate on a conventional type loan you need to have a good credit score and the bigger the down payment you have the better. How do you completely avoid PMI or MI? The best way, obviously, is to scrimp and save to get the 20 percent down payment that once was the standard for buying a home.

Hey, we all know how easy it is to save, right?

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 36 years. The first 20 were loving, but the past 16 have deteriorated to the point of despair.

My husband, “John,” is now 68. Though once athletic and active, John is now frail and weak. He complains of chronic headaches and a host of other physical ailments, and worst of all, he suffers from major bouts of severe depression. He’s suicidal, and chances are good that he’ll take his life if I leave him. John is taking medication for his depression. I’ve stuck by him because he’s a decent man and I care for him, but I know things won’t get better. If this is what the rest of my life looks like, I’m afraid for my own future.

What’s also upsetting is that John’s entire life revolves around me. I’ve encouraged him to establish personal interests and hobbies, but he won’t. He’s a chore to be with -- negative and difficult to converse with. And no matter what direction I take with him when we discuss his “problems,” he ends up crying -- a victim, like his mother and sister. We seldom go out with friends. Traveling is out of the question. I go alone when I can, but he’s hard to leave beyond a week or two.

Five years ago, I saw a therapist who advised me to leave John. I wanted to and still do, but I don’t know whether I can handle the guilt of turning my back on him. We cannot afford to put him in a long-term care facility, but he needs serious help. Our sons live out of state with their own families. They offer emotional support, but aren’t in any position to care for him. I stay busy with friends, activities and a part-time job. It helps some, but I see my own happiness slipping away. I am trapped in a life with a man I no longer love but feel obligated to care for because he’s sick. What should I do? -- N.N. Dear N.N.: Depression is an illness, not a choice. Please talk to John’s doctor about different medication. His current treatment isn’t doing the job. Then contact the National Alliance

on Mental Illness helpline (nami.org) at 1-800-950-NAMI and the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance. org), and ask what help is available for you, including respite care. You desperately need a break.

Dear Annie: I am 30 years old and decided to go back to college. I have made good grades. The problem is two supposedly grown women in one of my classes. It started when one of them broke up with my cousin. She blames me.

These women talk about me behind my back, scream in my face, threaten me and throw things at me. I have tried to be the bigger person and ignore them or walk away, but it hasn’t stopped. I also went to the dean and the teacher and got no results.

I am getting tired of the harassment, and I still have six more months in this class. What can I do? -- Fuming in College Dear Fuming: If these women are threatening you, the school should take action. Go back to the dean and say you will have to notify the police if the university won’t deal with the situation. Then do it.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Concerned,” who objected to his granddaughter having a photograph of her late grandmother at her wedding.

In the past few years, I have attended some weddings of people whose beloved family members had passed away.

One niece had a display of both sets of parents and all of her grandparents, including those who had died. Another niece put flowers on her father’s grave the day she got married. I attended a garden wedding where there were three chairs in the front row with ribbons on the back and a rose on the seat for the deceased parents of the groom and the deceased mother of the bride. I thought all of these were wonderful tributes.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is still hard to say how long a project is going to take. It’s likely that you thought it would be over by now, and yet here you are, putting more work into it.

Leaders finish strong -- and that will be you soon enough.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

No matter how difficult a task may be or how skilled you must be to achieve it, you will never get a sense of accomplishment from a goal that goes against what you believe.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Desensitized to the familiar? That’s because new situations trigger your adrenal glands to kick in extra juice, and old situations don’t. Consciously awaken your senses so you’ll be able to better appreciate what you have.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are many kindred spirits for you out there. You are slowly finding your tribe these days and will continue to attract new people as you get more specific in your interests.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Wisdom isn’t some ethereal quality endowed to you by the angels. Rather, it’s the natural extension that occurs because you pay attention to what’s going on around you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 23).

Get a grip on your finances, and other parts of life fall into place. You’ll adopt a new sense of athleticism in April. May sees you striving for scholarship and for a better understanding of power structures. You’ll meet attractive people as you lead with your sense of adventure through June. Bonus money comes in August. Scorpio and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 2, 14, 34 and 20.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Get together. Don’t just write, talk or help out behind the scenes. What you do for another person will soon fade from memory. But what you do with another person will stick for a lifetime.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll have fun racing the clock or challenging its constructs. Can you do a job in half the time? Is there a way to fit in twice the amount of fun before the hands go full circle?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You underestimate your conversational abilities and natural charm. Keep it short and sweet today. Don’t let the discussion go on for too long, or it will become an exercise in self-parody.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If everyone approaches relationships from the standpoint of trying to satisfy their own needs, no one will be happy.

You’ll orient yourself to consider what others want, paving the way for smooth relationships.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You gain another person’s trust and then hold it dear. Trust is, after all, a valuable commodity that is necessary in good relationships. The one who trusts you in small ways will also trust you with the bigger things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is a certain mood that sometimes overtakes you, compelling you to flip the triggers and push the buttons within reach just to watch the ensuing reaction. That mood is back tonight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Can eating fruit make you happy? Some studies suggest that this is the case.

Today, you will metaphorically and actually sink your teeth into the juiciest morsels life has to offer.

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, March 23, 2013— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, March 23, the 82nd day of 2013. There are 283 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 23, 1913, five days of heavy rain began falling in the Ohio River Valley; Dayton, Ohio, saw catastrophic flooding as the rising Great Miami River breached its levees. Hundreds of deaths in the region were blamed on the weather.

On this date: In 1775, Patrick Henry delivered an address to the Virginia Provincial Convention in which he is said to have declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death!”

In 1792, Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 in G Major (the “Surprise” symphony) had its first public performance in London.

In 1806, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, having reached the Pacific coast, began their journey back east.

In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political movement in Milan, Italy.

In 1933, the German Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act, which effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers.

In 1942, the first Japanese-Americans evacuated by the U.S. Army during World War II arrived at the internment camp in Manzanar, Calif.

In 1965, America’s first two-person space flight began as Gemini 3 blasted off with astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young aboard for a nearly 5-hour flight.

In 1973, before sentencing a group of Watergate break-in defendants, Chief U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica read aloud a letter to him from James W. McCord Jr. which said there had been “political pressure” to “plead guilty and remain silent.”

In 1983, President Ronald Reagan first proposed developing technology to intercept incoming enemy missiles — an idea that came to be known as the Strategic Defense Initiative. Dr. Barney Clark, recipient of a Jarvik permanent artificial heart, died at the University of Utah Medical Center after 112 days with the device.

In 1993, scientists announced they’d found the renegade gene that causes Huntington’s disease.

In 2010, President Barack Obama signed a $938 billion health care overhaul, declaring “a new season in America.”

In 2011, Academy Award-winning actress Elizabeth Taylor died in Los Angeles at age 79.

One year ago: Pope Benedict XVI landed in Mexico to throngs of faithful who gathered at the tarmac and lined more than 20 miles of his route into the city of Leon.

Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Marty Allen is 91. Sir Roger Bannister, the runner who broke the 4-minute mile in 1954, is 84. Movie director Mark Rydell is 79. Motorsports Hall of Famer Craig Breedlove is 76. Singer-producer Ric Ocasek is 64. Singer Chaka Khan is 60. Actress Amanda Plummer is 56. Actress Catherine Keener is 54. Actress Hope Davis is 49. Comedian John Pinette is 49. Actor Richard Grieco is 48. Actress Marin Hinkle is 47. Actress-singer Melissa Errico is 43. Actress Michelle Monaghan is 37. Actress Keri Russell is 37. Actress Anastasia Griffith is 35. Gossip columnist-blogger Perez Hilton is 35.

Actress Nicholle Tom is 35. Country singer Paul Martin (Marshall Dyllon) is 35.

inspiring sports novel

LACONIA — Author Michael Andrew announces the release of his inspiring new sports novel, “Luke.”

Luke Minelli had a dream to play in the baseball big leagues. Due to his diminutive size, Luke was not always the first pick, but trail-blazed in many sports.

But baseball was his first and true love.

Will Luke finally make it to the Major League Baseball stadium to play as one of the best, or will he excel in another sport and never return to baseball again?

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Andrew is a group vice president for a large global telecommunications company in Dubai. He is the author of “How to Think Like a CEO and Act Like a Leader” and several articles in industry journals. He resides in Laconia and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Hunter England wins sportsmanship essay contest

As part of National Sportsmanship Week the Inter-Lakes Student Athletic Leadership Council (SALC) held a Sportsmanship Essay Contest. Students in grades 3-8 in the Inter-Lakes School District were asked to answer the question, “Why is Sportsmanship Important to Me”? The male winning essay was written by ILES 3rd grader Hunter England (right). Hunter read his essay before the boys’ basketball game on Feb. 15 and was presented an InterLakes Athletics T-shirt.

New Hampshire Music Festival’s 61st season offers old favorites, new outreach PLYMOUTH — The New Hampshire Music Festival is celebrating its 61st season with a new music director and exciting new concert offerings in Plymouth and beyond.

The Pops Series kicks off the 2013 season on Saturday, July 6 led by returning Festival Pops Director Matt Catingub. This patriotic program includes jazz standards and popular favorites to celebrate Independence Day weekend. The season continues with the commencement of the Chamber Music Series, featuring intimate musical experiences performed by members of the Festival Orchestra. This series begins on Tuesday, July 9.

The Festival’s beloved Orchestral Classics Series presents a fabulous array of repertoire beginning Thursday, July 11. In this season - the first under new Music Director, Donato Cabrera - the Festival Orchestra will continue in its tradition of presenting well-loved repertoire side-by-side with engaging recent works. Drawing on programs from the early days of the Festival and a number of major musical anniversaries, works by Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, and Vivaldi will be presented alongside pieces by Britten, Stravinski, De Falla, and an East Coast premiere by American composer Mark Volkert.

“I truly believe that the New Hampshire Music Festival can be a place to enjoy music you know, and a place to challenge yourself, perhaps hearing something you like that you’ve never heard before,” said Cabrera.

In the Classics series, the Festival welcomes back its Conductor Laureate Paul Polivnick, and Director of Choirs Joel Johnson, who, along with several Orchestra members, celebrates his 50th summer season.

The Classics, Pops, and Chamber series take place at the Silver Center for the Arts, on the campus of

Plymouth State University. Last year, the Festival signed a ten-year contract with PSU, drawing upon a decades-long relationship between these two institutions, and securing a permanent performance space for the Festival.

New this year, are two performance initiatives that will broaden the reach of the Festival to new audiences across the state. The Family Concert Series, piloted by Cabrera, will be offered on Saturday, July 13 and August 3, and will feature orchestral and chamber classics for all ages.

“The Festival is delighted to bring back these concerts for our youngest audience members,” said Executive Director Frank Pesci. “These afternoon performances will welcome children and parents alike, and we are delighted to offer free admission to kids under 15 years of age.”

In the newest addition to its lineup, the Festival will bring chamber and orchestral performance outreach across the region. Entitled the “603 Series,” this endeavor will reach across the Granite state with concerts offered in Gilford, Laconia and Concord, and will include a joint presentation with the Great Waters Music Festival in Wolfeboro. See the full schedule on the Festival’s website for dates and locations.

Tickets for all performances (with the exception of the 603 Series) will be available at the Silver Center for the Arts Box Office beginning in April 2013. Tickets for the 603 Series will be available at the door at each venue.
