Gilford gives up on sewer advisory committee for lack of volunteers

GILFORD — Selectmen voted unanimously last night to discontinue the Sewer Advisory Committee after only one person expressed an interest in serving.

Selectmen earlier this year established the Sewer Advisory Committee to look into the way sewer bills are calculated for multi-family associations and mobile home parks. The mission was to report back to see SEWER page 13

Video camera captures start of 3 a.m. cafe kitchen fire

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The fire that ravaged the kitchen of the Water Street Cafe early Wednesday morning was the second in four days days to damage buildings owned by Ted Roy, whose apartment building at 92 Gilford Avenue was badly damaged Sunday evening.

“It’s been a bad week,” Roy said yesterday as he surveyed the damage to the restaurant.

“But, we’re going to get cleaned up and back in business as soon as possible.”

A security camera captured the flames coming from beneath a flat stove top at 3:06 a.m. Fire Chief Ken Erickson said that Deputy Fire Charles

Roffo investigated the fire “the old-fashioned way” and determined that it began in or under the range, a finding subsequently confirmed by the video.

Noting that the range had a constant pilot light, Erickson ventured that it may have malfunctioned, damaging other controls on the stove, but could not yet identify a specific cause

of the fire.

The video recorded that eight minutes after the flames appeared a fire suppression system was activated and momentarily doused the blaze, which quickly revived and flashed across the ceiling. At 3:16 a.m. the flames and heat in the kitchen disabled the see CAFE FIRE page 12

Kennedy signals court may strike down part of Defense of Marriage Act WASHINGTON (AP) — Concluding two days of intense debate, the Supreme Court signaled Wednesday it could give a boost to same-sex marriage by striking down the federal law that denies legally married gay spouses a wide range of benefits offered to other couples.

As the court wrapped up its remarkable arguments over gay marriage in America, a majority of the justices indicated they will invalidate part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act — if they can get past procedural problems similar to those that appeared to mark Tuesday’s case over California’s ban on same-sex marriage.

Since the federal law was enacted in 1996, nine states and the District of Columbia have made it legal for gays and lesbians to marry. Same-sex unions also were legal in California for nearly five months in 2008 before the Proposition 8 ban.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the decisive vote in close cases, joined the four more-liberal justices in raising questions Wednesday about a provision that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman for purposes of federal law.

It affects more than 1,100 statutes in which marital status is relevant, dealing with tax breaks for married couples, Social Security survivor benefits

and, for federal employees, health insurance and leave to care for spouses.

Kennedy said the Defense of Marriage Act appears to intrude on the power of states that have chosen to recognize same-sex marriages. When so many federal statutes are affected, “which in our society means that the federal government is intertwined with the citizens’ day-to-day life, you are at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the state police power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody,” Kennedy said. see SUPREME COURT page 10

Narrow N.H. House Colorado theater shooting suspect offers guilty plea majority votes to repeal ‘Stand -Your -Ground’

CONCORD (AP) — Deadly force would no longer be a viable first option for people defending themselves or others in a public place if they could safely retreat from the threat, under a bill approved Wednesday by the New Hampshire House.

The bill would repeal part of New Hampshire’s stand-your-ground law that Republicans pushed through two years ago — over a governor’s veto and objections by law enforcement professionals. Current law allows people to use deadly force to defend themselves any place they have a right to be without having a duty to retreat.

The bill returns the law to one based on the Castle Doctrine, which says a person does not have to retreat from intruders at home before using deadly force, but must consider it in public. The law passed in 2011 expanded that principle to public places.

The House voted 189-184 Wednesday to send the bill revising the law to the Senate.

The attorney general’s office supports the old law, which it argues balanced the rights of people to defend themselves with protections for the sanctity of life.

Bill opponents argued the change would hurt honest residents defending themselves and others against criminals. They said police often show up at a crime scene to investigate the aftermath, which see STAND-YOUR-GROUND page 9 Meredith Cinema Meredith Shopping Ctr. • 279-7836 www.barnzs.com Thursday (3/28)

G.I. Joe: Retaliation (PG-13) 4:30; 7:15 The Croods (PG) 5:20; 7:30 Oz The Great & Powerful (PG) 4:00; 6:45

DENVER (AP) — Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes has offered to plead guilty and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty — a deal that would bring a swift end to the sometimes wrenching courtroom battle and circumvent a prolonged debate over his sanity.

Prosecutors haven’t said whether they would accept the offer, and victims and survivors of last summer’s massacre were divided on what should be done.

Melisa Cowden, whose ex-husband was killed in the theater, said Wednesday she was resolutely opposed to a plea deal.

“He didn’t give 12 people the chance to plea bargain and say, ‘Let’s see if you’re going to shoot me or not,’” said Cowden, whose two teenage daughters were with their father when he was killed.

“No. No plea bargain,” she said.

The attack during a crowded midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” left a dozen people dead and 70 injured.

Prosecutors have said Holmes planned the assault for months, casing the theater complex in the Denver suburb of Aurora, amassing a small arsenal and rigging potentially deadly booby-traps in his apartment.

Then on July 20, he donned a police-style helmet and body armor, tossed a gas canister into the theater crowd and opened fire, prosecutors said.

The plea offer, made by Holmes’ lawyers on his behalf sometime before March 12, was disclosed a defense court filing on Wednesday. It was made public just days before the prosecution was set to announce whether they would seek the death penalty. see COLORADO page 10

Cyprus bank withdrawals limited to 300 euros for now NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Banks in Cyprus are to open for the first time in more than a week on Thursday, operating for six hours from noon (10:00 GMT), but restrictions will be in place on financial transactions to prevent people from draining their accounts.

Among the capital controls, cash withdrawals will be limited to 300 euros ($383) per person each day.

No checks will be cashed, although people will be able to deposit them in their accounts, according to a ministerial decree that was released late Thursday.

The controls will be in place for four days.

NOW AVAILABLE AT ALL LOCATIONS

Cyprus’s banks were closed on March 16 as politicians scrambled to come up with a plan to raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) so the country would qualify for 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) in much-need bailout loans for its collapsed banking sector. The deal was finally reached in Brussels early Monday, and imposes severe losses on deposits of over 100,000 euros in the country’s two largest banks, Laiki and Bank of Cyprus.

Since Monday’s deal, Cypriot authorities have been rushing to introduce measures to prevent see CYPRUS page 7

Often you don’t really need to see an MD You want a routine checkup. Or your throat is sore. It’s probably nothing, but you’re concerned. Do you need a full-fledged MD with all those certificates and perhaps a God complex?

Even if you want to see a physician, there’s a shortage of family doctors these days. And it will only get worse as the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) brings health coverage to 30 million more Americans. If you do have a primary care doctor, it may be hard to get an appointment.

A nurse practitioner may be in your future — if he or she is not already in your present. This is a kind of super nurse, who’s gone through four years of nursing school plus at least two more years of training in diagnosing and treating disease. Nurse practitioners may specialize in women’s health, pediatrics or cardiac care.

“A lot of people view them as a pretty obvious way to help deal with the number of people expected to get insurance,” Joanne Spetz, professor at the Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California, San Francisco, told me.

But the extent to which they can fill the gaps depends on where you live. States regulate health care, so the latitude given nurse practitioners varies widely.

In Missouri, for example, nurse practitioners may not see patients unless a physician is under the same roof. In New Mexico, by contrast, they don’t have to work with a physician at all. In some states, they are restricted from prescribing narcotics. In others, they may prescribe certain kinds of narcotics and not others.

Western states tend to give nurse practitioners the greatest autonomy. Perhaps it’s the libertarian spirit, or perhaps their vast rural areas, where doctors are few and far between. Colorado is considered “the cradle of nurse practitioner practice,” according to Spetz.

A personal note: I went to a superb nurse practitioner for years, seeing the doctor she worked with only at parties. When I had a complaint she considered beyond her expertise,

out came her pad and the name of a specialist to call.

Her accessibility was a big plus.

She had time to shoot the breeze about my every little ache and whether running is bad for the knees.

Health economists see primary care providers as key to curbing medical costs. Americans overuse expensive specialists. For example, they run off to gastroenterologists and have endoscopes shoved down their throats when their problem is simple heartburn. Primary care providers could have saved these patients money, discomfort and anxiety by prescribing Tums as a first step.

“They know what they know, and they know what they don’t know,” Spetz said. “If a complicated diabetes situation is going on, they will send the patient to an endocrinologist.”

We’re talking money here, hence some heavy turf battles. The American Medical Association worries about nurses taking business from its doctor-members and lobbies in state capitals against giving nurse practitioners more independence.

The AMA argues that patients’ health may be jeopardized if doctors don’t monitor nurse practitioners.

Obamacare provides some money for training nurse practitioners but sidesteps the matter of what role they might play. Early in the deliberations, there was reportedly talk of requiring states to give them more independence in return for Medicaid money. The AMA is said to have stopped that line of inquiry.

Cutting health care costs — and making health care services more convenient for consumers — demands moving basic medical services away from hospitals and, in many cases, doctors’ offices.

Sometimes we need a doctor; sometimes we don’t. A well trained nurse practitioner can help point us in the right direction.

Don’t spend the $200k in recycling savings until you see it To the editor, I am in favor of more city-wide recycling. However, I am not in favor of adopting a city budget that is predicated upon “potential savings” from increased recycling efforts. If the $200K in (recycling) savings for the city is actually realized, then, and only then should the city spend the

money. It was once said “I see a fund ... capable of extinguishing the debt... in 10 years or earlier. But we must not reckon our chickens before they are hatched.” (Sir Walter Scott, 1829 Scott Journal, May 20, 1946).

LETTERS Budget balances both needs of county government & taxpayers To the editor, Seeking a balance between the needs of the county government and that of those who are responsible for paying the bills — the Belknap County Taxpayers — on March 4, 2013, your representatives passed the 2013 Belknap County budget.

On December 10th, the Belknap County Commissioners presented their budget to the delegation. That budget would have required a nearly 9 percent increase in the amount required to be raised by taxation. Officials and members from our communities began appealing to convention members to control this budget. Your delegates have worked tremendously hard to accomplish that charge.

We began by identifying the cost drivers. Realizing that the increase in this budget was, in part, caused by unsustainable wage raises—an average of 5 percent per year — and the taxpayers’ continued absorption of the increases in health insurance and benefits, our goal was to slow this growth.

We realize that while most county employees are dedicated and hardworking individuals, so are the hardworking taxpayers who must support their own families while still supporting the county employees’ salaries and benefits. Many taxpayers have seen no salary increases at all during the last few years and, if they have insurance, they are paying for all or most of it out of their own pockets. Therefore while the approved 2013 Belknap County budget made very few cuts, it has reduced the growth of county government expenditures. Essentially, we have succeeded in level-funded salary lines, incorporating the raises and step increases made during the 2012 year.

This decision also reduces the associated appropriations such as Payroll Taxes, Retirement, Unemployment, and Workers Compensation expenses.

After taking into consideration the 2012 mid-year rate increase, we have also level-funded health insurance for employees and their families.

Two appropriation lines in each department have no monetary amounts assigned to them: the lines associated with longevity pay and a sick pay bonus. Additionally, we have reduced one salary line, as well as the legal and training budgets in the Administration Department. We reduced the New Computer line from $14,000 to $11,216 in Info Technology.

We identified savings made possible by a donation by Rep. Bob Greemore.

We achieved a more realistic amount for Building Improvements in the Maintenance Department. We funded fewer new cruisers for purchase by the Sheriff’s Department. Finally in the Belknap County Nursing Home, we reduced some of the overtime funding from $150,000 to $100,000, removed the funding for a new vehicle, some chairs and the refurbishing a floor that appears to be in good condition.

In all, the total appropriations were reduced by $599,980.

On the revenue side, we used a bit more of the fund balance and more realistically adjusted revenue accounts based on actual receipts.

The budget, as voted, raises taxes by $56,010 over last year’s budget.

In summary, the 2013 Belknap County Budget balances the needs of both the county and the taxpayers with no change to the number of employees and therefore no change to services.

Please note these are my comments and do not necessarily represent all members of the convention. I would like to publicly thank them for all of their hard work and I am sure they would appreciate your support.

Sen Ayotte: stop wasting money on foreigners & stand up for vets To the editor, Senator Ayotte, you were elected to the Senate because most of us thought you had some backbone and were out to serve the people of the great state of New Hampshire. Where did you learn the art of deception so well that as a sheep farmer you pulled the wool over

the eyes of your supporters so easily.

It is getting clearer and clearer that the only reason you wanted to be senator was to double your salary from (rounded off numbers) $85K to $174K a year and to take the salary with you when you retired. Wouldn’t see next page

LETTERS Some U.S. History is dark, especially re South & Central America To the editor, Karma has a way of catching up with people but sometimes karma takes its time. This is certainly true in the case of General Efrain Rios Montt, the former military dictator of Guatemala from 1982-96. A man with the blood of tens of thousands (if not over a hundred thousand) of Guatemalan men, women, and children on his hands, he has for years conveniently escaped justice in his country and in other countries. Finally, this past week his trial on charges of genocide against Guatemala’s indigenous Mayan people began. Of course, there are many of us who doubt he will ever do prison time but at least trying this bloody murderer is a step toward bringing justice to his many victims and their families.

During Guatemala’s long Civil War, that country’s army, assisted by unofficial right-wing death squads, murdered, raped, and tortured people.

Entire villages, mostly ethnically Mayan, were destroyed and their inhabitants summarily executed.

The Guatemalan government always claimed that they were only going

after “communist” guerrillas but the bulk of those killed were poor peasants who were merely suspected of having sympathies with guerrillas or even just sympathies with the poor. In fact, of all the butchers who ruled in Latin America since the end of WWII, General Rios Montt was probably the worst and was indeed far worse than even General Pinochet in Chile or General Videla in Argentina.

As is the case in other Central and South American countries, the United States has to take a large share of the blame for these atrocities. As is often the case in this region, the United State supported Guatemala’s monied elite in a country with huge gaps between rich and poor in the name of “fighting leftists and communists” but also because our policies toward those countries always supported the interests of powerful American corporations.

During the 1980s, when the atrocities in Guatemala were their most ghastly, General Rios Montt was openly and actively supported by President Ronald Reagan. Rios Montt, unlike most Guatemalans, was not Catholic but instead a mili-

from preceding page it be nice if you got your backside off the golden throne and did something you could make us all proud of you for? Like instead of going with the rest of the crooks down there in DC you got on the bandwagon to help the veterans who are so desperately in need of disability help. You would think that after you took that trip to Iraq when you first got in office as a senator (by the way, as your boss, I did not sanction this trip of wasted tax dollars) that you would have compassion for the people that are following your orders serving in a hell hole that will always be a hell hole. Why is it that those of us struggling for a living can see the way to helping our soldiers

and you can not? It would be so simple to take the money away from all the freeloaders (lazy kids who dream up any excuse to get on welfare and church-sponsored foreigners who are handed money right and left because they think this is the land of milk and honey). The parents had these kids and the church brought these people here, let them support them and lets the money go where it should be going — TO OUR VETS! Stand up Senator Ayotte and become a leader of the people for the people and make us proud that you are from the little Great State of New Hampshire.

tant “born again” Pentecostal. As a result, he received a lot of praise from such right-wing “Christian” televangelists as Dr. Jerry Falwell and Rev. Pat Roberson in their broadcasts. This butcher was portrayed by conservative Evangelicals as a “good christian man” who was just trying to save his country from the “leftists.”

American corporate interests in Guatemala go back for decades. At one point, the Boston-based United Fruit Company owned so much land in Guatemala and other Central American countries that they effectively ran the governments there giving these nations the nickname of “banana republics.” United Fruit always stood in the way of any meaningful reforms in these countries. Although United Fruit no longer exists due to buyouts, it’s “descendant” company is Chiquita.

Perhaps things only changed in name; in the last few years there have been disturbing reports that Chiquita has been funding right-wing Columbian death squads and using them to “discourage” union organizing on their banana plantations.

In 1954, the CIA directly organized and participated in a military coup in Guatemala to oust democraticallyelected President Jacobo Arbenz.

Arbenz was a socialist but he was accused of being a Communist in league with Moscow. It has been proven, however, that the USSR played virtually no role in Arbenz’s government.

One of Arbenz’s first acts as Guatemala’s president was to take the large amount of unused, uncultivated land owned by United Fruit and redistrib-

ute it to poor, landless Guatemalan peasants. Guatemala paid for the land but not enough for United Fruit. For years, United Fruit had been undervaluing the value of its holdings in Guatemala to avoid paying taxes and Arbenz simply paid them what THEY had said the land was worth!

So, the CIA began a covert (and increasingly overt) campaign to get rid of Arbenz. It is certainly not surprising that at the time, the U.S. Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles and his brother Alan who was the director of the CIA, had interests in and connections to United Fruit. When the military coup came, Arbenz was forced into exile but thousands of his supporters or suspected supporters were killed and tortured. One person who barely escaped Guatemala with his life was a young Argentinian doctor named Ernesto “Che” Guevara who later became a leader of the Cuban Revolution and who wanted to expand that revolution to the rest of Latin America. Most historians believe that Che’s intense hatred for the United States originated during his Guatemalan experience. Can anyone really blame him?

The United States is a wonderful country with a wonderful history. But, some of that history is dark, especially when it comes to U.S. relations with Central and South American nations. As a nation, we need to get rid of our smugness and admit that part of our history.

Yes, karma has a way of taking its time but for some of us, it is worth the wait!

Require everyone to purchase a trash card for $91 per year To the editor, The real issue is that the City of Laconia needs more money to continue trash collection. To require the use of mandatory bags is at best a messy way to gather the necessary revenue. The required bags will cost the city to produce and distributing

bags will further reduce revenue.

Enforcing compliance, collecting fines and settling disputes will also lower the bottom line.

A much more practical plan would be to assume the required trash bags are small and each Laconia resisee next page 251 DANIEL WEBSTER HIGHWAY MEREDITH, NH 03253 WWW.LOVERINGMEREDITH.COM

What would Taste of Lakes Region be without Hector’s & Chef Peter’s stuffed mushrooms?

By AdAm drApcho

LACONIA — For some of the new businesses on the local culinary landscape, the annual Taste of the Lakes Region event is a chance to make an impression among local diners. Yet, even for Hector’s Fine Food & Spirits, a landmark Laconia eatery that opened 29 years ago and has been part of the event for all but two of those years, the event is still the owners wouldn’t miss.

This year’s Taste of the Lakes Region is being held from 3 to 5:30 p.m. on April 7 at the Conference Center at the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa. Because there is a cash bar at the event, no one younger than 21 will be admitted.

Each of the more than 20 restaurants participating in this year’s event provide their food and time without any direct remuneration.

All the money raised through ticket sales goes to the charitable efforts of the Laconia Altrusa Club, which promotes literacy and provides scholarships to local students. Tickets cost $25 per person and can be purchased at Hart’s Turkey Farm in Meredith or in Laconia at Hector’s or at the Cold-

well-Banker Residential Brokerage.

“It’s a way to give back to the community, you get to see a lot of your customers, and it’s fun,” said Carl Peterson, who along with his wife Carla owns Hector’s. “It’s something different to do, out of the ordinary. It’s fun to get out there,” he added.

Although Hector’s has been on Beacon Street West in Laconia for nearly three decades, Peterson said he’ll meet several people at each Taste event that haven’t set foot inside his restaurant.

“You do run into new people, people that are new to town, people who aren’t familiar with downtown.”

At almost every one of the Taste events, Hector’s has brought its seafoodstuffed mushrooms. The one year they decided to break tradition, diners at the event nearly staged a demonstration.

So, Peterson said, he and chef Peter Cullen will be sure to give the people what they want, and will bring mushrooms among their offerings.

Cullen, who has worked at Hector’s since it opened, said the event gives him the unusual opportunity to see how diners react to his food, rather than simply watching plate after plate see next page

Instead of buying bags, each resident would be required to purchase a Trash Card for $91 plus a $9 processing fee.

This would result in more or less 1.5 million dollars of new money for the city. Requiring residents to show their Trash Card to purchase groceries would prompt compliance to the ordinance. Children would need a Trash Card to attend school. Authorized

volunteers could perform door to door Trash Card spot checks.

It’s not hard to imagine the next crisis will involve city street maintenance.

Keeping with the trash bag theory, the city might install four tollbooths.

A simpler way to gather the same revenue would be to tack on a $365 charge to the vehicle registration fees, Who could reasonably object to paying an extra dollar a day to drive around town?

Huot’s boat fee bill passes House

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — A bill sponsored by Representative David Huot (D-Laconia) that would repeal a statute halving boat registration fees scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2015, carried the New Hampshire House of Representatives by a vote of 189 to 153 yesterday.

With one exception, the 18 members of the Belknap County Delegation split along strict party lines with the five Democrats in favor and 13 of the 15 Republicans opposed. Representative Herb Vadney of Meredith was the lone Republican to support the bill and Representative Bob Luther (R-Laconia) did not vote.

The registration fees are deposited in the navigation fund, which together with an annual matching grant from the United States Coast Guard are the major sources of funding for the Marine Patrol. The fees, which had not been raised since they were introduced, were doubled in 2009 when the growth in number of registered vessels stalled, and expenses began outCYPRUS from page 2 a rush of euros out of the country’s banks when they do reopen.

running revenues.

Huot filed House Bill 411 to maintain the fees set in 2009 at the request of the Department of Safety, which feared that the prospective reduction in revenue would cripple the operations of the Marine Patrol and forestall the renovation of its facilities at Glendale.

Apart from the prospect of halving the in the 2011-2012 budget, the balance in the navigation fund, some $1-million was stripped and transferred to the general fund to help balance the state budget. Huot said that a share of funds were designated for the facility at Glendale in Gilford, which is partially settling into Lake Winnipesaukee. The department was not only compelled to defer work at Glendale, but also to reduce the personnel deployed on the lakes last summer from 60 to 39. Moreover, without sufficient matching funds, the grant from the Coast Guard is at risk, which could prompt further reductions in personnel this summer.

The contents of the trucks could not be independently confirmed, although state-run television said they were carrying cash flown in from Frankfurt for the bank reopening.

Route 3, Winnisquam 524-1984

LACONIA — Granite State residents interested in obtaining a high school diploma without taking the traditional path will be looking at significant changes to the equivalency test now that the state has chosen a new company to take over the process.

Gone in January of 2014 is the traditional GED — at least for New Hampshire’s students.

In its place will be a test developed

by ETS, or Educational Testing Service, that will determine if an individual has the skills and knowledge to have the equivalent of a high school diploma.

The GED, said Laconia Adult Eduction Director Peggy Selig, was developed in the post WW II era so soldiers who lied about their ages or dropped out of high school to join the military and were too old to finish high school upon their return could take a test and move on with their lives.

“We know that the new test will be much harder,” said Selig, who said Laconia is in a state of limbo right now because no one has seen the test that will be offered in 2014.

“We kind of know where we’re heading,” she said, noting the new high school equivalency test will have more expository writing, more critical thinking, and more inference. “You’re going to have to come in with some knowledge.”

The reason for the recent change in New Hampshire and in many other states is two-fold — one was the American Council on Education (ACE) and its desire to upgrade the GED test.

The second was money.

State Adult Education Director Art Ellison explained the first: he said the ACE knew the test needed to be upgraded because it had been the same since 2002 and the non-profit company didn’t have the money to do it. He said the decision was made to put it out into the private market, explaining the second driver.

The American Council on Eduction owned GED Testing Services and produced the equivalency test for about 70 years, according to The Wall Street Journal. About two years ago ACE put itself and its trademark GED up for sale or merger and British publishing giant Pearson, VUE came to the table to create a for-profit test.

Pearson is the parent company of

Penguin Publishing as well as one of the largest electronic test companies in the world. It now owns the trademark GED — as common in America as the trademark names of Scotch tape and Kleenex.

The problem for New Hampshire and many other states, said Ellison, is the Pearson-VUE GED is computerbased and twice as expensive. The estimated cost of the test for its takers would go from $65 to $120 and Ellison said many test takers struggle to come up with the $65.

Ellison said as news of the new paperless test and its cost became more well known, many states created work groups to see if there was another option. Publisher McGrawHill and ETS began developing their own tests and in early March, New York State became the first state to drop the Pearson-VUE owned GED, closely followed with Montana and New Hampshire.

“I think Pearson thought it was buying a cash cow but now that may not be true,” said Selig.

After issuing a request for proposal — or RPF — and deciding between all three companies, Ellison said on March 20 the New Hampshire Board of Education chose ETS. He said one of the caveats to the RFP was there be a paper option and though Pearson-GED bid for the contract, with no paper choice it didn’t meet the criteria of the proposal.

ETS is also well known in the education community. The not-for-profit company was founded in 1947 and, among other things, owns GRE (Graduate Record Examinations), the SATs and the PRAXIS series that tests non-English speakers for proficiency throughout the world.

He said the bid price from Educational Testing Service was estimated to be $50 per test and New Hampshire residents took about 1,500 equivalency tests in 2012. Ellison said that will keep the cost of their test to its takers at the same or similar price.

Selig said ETS offered both a computer and a written test in its proposal but for the time being Laconia will stick with paper-only tests. She noted the tests as proposed from Pearson were so proprietary and top-secret that testing centers would have had to install computer surveillance that would have cost $4,000 in Laconia alone. see next page

2 Belknap County reps break rank on Stand-You-Ground repeal vote

CONCORD — Apart from two representatives, the 18 members of the Belknap County Delegation divided along party lines when House Bill 135, revising the so-called “standyour-ground” law, carried the New Hampshire House of Representatives by five votes, 189 to 184, yesterday.

The “stand-your-ground” law, enacted over the veto of Governor John Lynch in 2011, expanded the Castle Doctrine, which allows the use deadly force without a duty to retreat in defense of one’s home, by permit-

ting the use of deadly force to defend one’s person, without a duty to retreat, wherever one has a right to be. While upholding the Castle Doctrine, HB 135 restores the duty to retreat before contemplating the use of deadly force in public places.

While 14 of the 15 Republicans on the delegation voted against and four of the five Democrats in favor, Republican Dennis Fields of Sanbornton and Democrat Ruth Gulick of New Hampton crossed party lines.

— Michael Kitch

STAND-YOUR-GROUND from page 2 is too late to protect people. They said requiring someone to retreat is tantamount to telling victims they can’t defend themselves since they would have seconds to decide whose rights take precedence.

“If I have to take a few seconds to think about an escape, it is too late,” said state Rep. Lenette Peterson, R-Merrimack.

“I’m too old to run anymore, and I shouldn’t have to,” added state Rep. Jane Cormier, R-Alton. Cormier said the change “empowers nobody but criminals.”

But bill supporters argued the proposed change would not stop anyone from using deadly force. They said it would only require them to first decide if they could escape with absolute safety.

State Rep. Phil Ginsburg, D-Durham, said people should react with concern and consideration.

“What kind of society do we want to be?” he said.

“This is about us employing reason rather than passion,” said state Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, R-Manchester.

“Are we a safer society in which every man and woman can shoot first in a crowded street?”

The House rejected amendments that would have made the state financially responsible for people’s injuries if they were hurt in a violent conflict and responsible for attorneys’ fees if they were prosecuted for not retreating but later exonerated.

State Rep. Dan Itse, the proposals’ sponsor, argued it’s only fair since the bill would put residents at risk of costly medical and lawyers’ bills.

But state Rep. Gary Richardson, D-Hopkinton, said the person pulling the trigger should bear responsibility for the medical bills, not the state.

Richardson also said making the state responsible for attorneys’ fees would make the state responsible for the conduct of someone who could safely retreat but chose not to do so.

The proposal would not repeal a provision that grants civil immunity for using force against assailants under some circumstances or a provision that says brandishing a weapon isn’t considered deadly force under the law.

The brandishing provision was inspired by Moultonborough farmer Ward Bird’s incarceration on a mandatory minimum three-year sentence for showing a gun when a trespasser refused to leave his property. Bird was see next page

from preceding page “I don’t have that money in my budget,” she said.

In New England, Ellison said Maine chose to go with Pearson-VUE for one year and develop a bidding process similar to that of New Hamphire’s, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut went with Pearson-VUE and Massachusetts is preparing a RFP similar to the one in New Hampshire.

Regardless, it spells big changes in

the hig school equivalency test.

“This is a new generation for high school equivalency,” Selig said. “My advice, sign up and take the equivalency test now — before it changes.”

Laconia Adult Education has one GED-equivalency test date planned for December of 2013, before the test goes away in 2014. The GED course preceding the test is offered beginning in September.

BASEBALL from page one its Little League girls softball division a couple of years ago because of declining participation according to Eric Petell, league president.

He said that this year there are about 200 players registered and that most teams will have only 11 players, a decline in numbers he attributes in part to the growth of interest in other sports.

This year, in order to broaden participation, the league sought and received permission from national Little League headquarters to expand its league boundaries to include Gilmanton and Meredith. ‘’Players from Belmont and Gilford have been able to play in the Laconia Little League for years,’’ says Petell, who says that part of the reason for the expansion were inquiries from parents in those towns. which have been added. ‘’They like what Laconia has in terms of playing fields and the popularity of the Little League World Series on television makes it quite a draw,’’ says Petell.

There is only one other official Little League in the area, the Tilton-Northfield Little League, which, like Laconia is part of New Hampshire’s District II Little League. The T-N league draws players from those two towns, as well as Franklin, Sanbornton, Hill and Canterbury.

Most of the other towns in the Lakes Region are affiliated with Cal Ripken Baseball, which, since it came on the scene in 2001, has expanded rapidly around the state.

An affiliate of the Babe Ruth League, Cal Ripken Baseball now has 52 leagues, over 1,450 teams and 21,750 players in the state and had been growing by leaps and bounds according to its New Hampshire web site.

Muthersbaugh says that in the greater Lakes Region area there are now Cal Ripken leagues in Franklin, Winnisquam, Newfound and Meredith as well as Merrimack Valley and that a new Lakes Region District which was recently formed makes tournament play much easier. ‘’We used to be in the same district as Mount Washington Valley and would have to go all the way from preceding page jailed for several months before the Executive Council took the rare step of commuting his sentence.

Laws in at least 20 states say there is no duty to retreat from an attacker in any place the person has a legal right to be, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Several states besides New Hampshire are revisiting their self-defense laws since the Florida case in which George Zimmerman was charged in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman argues the shooting was self-defense.

to Conway to play in tournament games. This is a lot easier for us now.’’

He says that some Cal Ripken League innovations, 70 foot base paths and a pitching mound 50 feet from home plate and base stealing with leads allowed hasn’t yet come to the area due to a lack of playing fields with those dimensions. Little League base paths for 13 and under are 60 feet with base stealing allowed but no leads and pitching mounds less than 46 feet from home plate.

Laconia Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunleavy says that he agrees with Muthersbaugh that there are many more youth sports options available than there were as recently as 10 years ago and says the city is fortunate to have so many recreational field options for team sports. ‘’It’s a little more difficult to fit everything in this year because we lost Bobotas Field and the high school football field due to the high school project,’’ says Dunleavy.

He says that after Laconia Little League dropped its girls softball league a new league was formed, the Lakes Region Girls Softball League, which takes players from Laconia, Belmont and Canterbury and plays its games both in Laconia and Belmont.

He says that the Laconia Parks Department charges a fee for out-of-town players of $10 per child per season on teams using Laconia facilities. ‘’There’s additional wear and tear on the fields and we want to recoup some of the costs of maintaining em,’’ says Dunleavy, who adds that out-of-town players on adult teams are charged $20 per player per season.

Gilford Parks and Recreation Director Herb Greene says that he has seen an expansion of youth sports offerings in his community which may account in part for the decline in baseball participation. ‘’There’s AAU basketball, youth soccer and youth football as well as traveling soccer. With so many options and schedule conflicts it’s difficult for some young people to play multiple sports.’’ says Greene.

COLORADO from page 2 The filing didn’t include the specifics of the offer. It said only that Holmes would agree to life in prison without parole — instead of the death penalty — and didn’t mention any other concessions.

Pierce O’Farrill, who was shot three times, said he would welcome an agreement that would imprison Holmes for life. The years of court struggles ahead would likely be emotionally stressful for victims, he said.

“I don’t see his death bringing me peace,” O’Farrill said. “To me, my prayer for him was that he would spend the rest of his life in prison and hopefully, in all those years he has left, he could find God and ask for forgiveness himself.”

SUPREME COURT from page 2 Other justices said the law creates what Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called two classes of marriage, full and “skim-milk marriage.”

If the court does strike down part of DOMA, it would represent a victory for gay rights advocates.

But it would be something short of the endorsement of gay marriage nationwide that some envisioned when the justices agreed in December to hear the federal case and the challenge to California’s ban on same-sex marriage.

Still, the tenor of the arguments over two days reflected how quickly attitudes have changed since large majorities in Congress passed the federal DOMA in 1996 and President Bill Clinton signed it into law. In 2011, President Barack Obama abandoned the legal defense of the law in the face of several lawsuits, and last year Obama endorsed gay marriage. Clinton, too, has voiced regret for signing the law and now supports allowing gays and lesbians to marry.

In 1996, the House of Representatives’ report on the legislation explained that one of its purposes was “to express moral disapproval of homosexuality.” Justice Elena Kagan read those words in the courtroom Wednesday, evoking a reaction from the audience that sounded like a cross between a gasp and nervous laughter.

Kagan’s quotation gave lawyer Paul Clement, representing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives that has taken up defense of the law in place of the administration, some uncomfortable moments at the lectern.

“Does the House report say that? Of course, the House report says that. And if that’s enough to invalidate the statute, then you should invalidate the statute,” Clement said. But he said the more relevant question is whether Congress had “any rational basis for the statute.” He supplied one: the federal government’s interest in treating same-sex couples the same no matter where they live.

Clement said the government does not want military families “to resist transfer from West Point to Fort Sill because they’re going to lose their benefits.” The U.S. Military Academy at West Point is in New York, where same-sex marriage is legal, and Fort Sill is in Oklahoma, where gay marriages are not legal.

Opposing Clement was the Obama administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, Donald Verrilli, who said the provision of DOMA at issue, Section 3, impermissibly discriminates against gay people.

“I think it’s time for the court to recognize that this discrimination, excluding lawfully married gay and lesbian couples from federal benefits, cannot be reconciled with our fundamental commitment to equal treatment under law,” Verrilli said.

The blackened, charred remains of stoves, sinks and countertops were all that remained of the kitchen of the Water Street Cafe at the corner of Water Street and Fair Street in Laconia following a fire that broke out shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday morning. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)

CAFE FIRE from page one camera. Within 30 seconds of the first show of flame, a second camera recorded smoke drifting than billowing through an opening into a counter and dining room area.

“It’s the first time in my career “I’ve watched the start of a fire on video,” said Erickson, who suggested that he would offer the video as a training tool to other fire departments. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Chris Shipp’s shift at Central Station responded to the fire alarm at 3:10 a.m. At the same time, on hearing the call, the police turned their roof-top camera toward the adjacent restaurant and saw smoke coming from the building. Told of the report from the police by the dispatcher of Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid, Shipp upgraded the alarm to a structure fire, summoning crews from both the Weirs Beach Station and Gilford to the scene.

On reaching the scene, Shipp found flame showing through the opening to the dining room as well as at the ventilation shaft atop the building. With a

hose with a 300 gallon per minute capacity, his crew confined the fire to the kitchen then extinguished it. After running a hose to protect Shipp’s crew, Gilford firefighters went to the second floor to forestall fire from spreading to the roof. Firefighters from The Weirs went to the roof, removed the ventilation cap and fan, which were destroyed by flame, and contained the fire in the attic.

Erickson said that the high ceiling kept the fire in the kitchen, where intense heat decomposed plastic fixtures, equipment and containers, creating chemical vapors that fueled the flames. Instead of spreading horizontally to the dining areas on the first floor, the fire found its way to the ventilation shaft.

“It’s a living animal,” Erickson said, “looking for oxygen.”

Erickson estimated the cost of the damage at a minimum of $100,000. He said that the department has responded to 32 fires in buildings since the year began, describing five of them, including the two this week, as “significant,.”

House committee says build new women’s prison in Concord

CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire legislative committee is recommending a women’s prison in Concord, next to the men’s prison.

The 224-bed prison would go behind the men’s prison on 400 acres already owned by the state.

The plan was adopted Tuesday by the House Public Works and Highways Committee in a capital budget proposal.

Lawmakers have declined a new women’s prison for at least six years.

Committee Chairman Rep. David Campbell of Nashua tells the Concord Monitor there’s an additional selling point this time: the state is facing what may become a class-action lawsuit for failing to provide female inmates in the old Goffstown prison the same education, training and treatment given to male inmates.

Campbell said the suit has been stayed pending the Legislature’s action on a new women’s prison.

N.H. House votes to raise gas & diesel tax 12¢ per gallon

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s House voted Wednesday to phase in a 12-cent hike in the gas and diesel tax to fix deteriorating roads and bridges, setting the stage for a budget battle with the Senate, which proposes instead to legalize a casino to pay for infrastructure improvements.

The 206-158 vote sent the proposed increase to the Senate, which voted earlier this month to legalize 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games in one casino. The House voted last week to kill one casino bill, but kept a second bill alive to preserve its ability to offer its own gambling bill even though

the House has never passed one.

But whether drivers or gamblers pay to fix New Hampshire’s deteriorating highways isn’t likely to be decided until the budget is acted on in June.

New Hampshire has not raised its 18-cent tax in 22 years and supporters say more money is needed to finish expanding Interstate 93 from the Massachusetts border to Manchester and for other highway improvements. The bill calls for increasing the tax on gas over three years and on diesel over six years.

House Public Works and Highways Chairman David Campbell, a Democrat, who has the support of many Republicans on his committee, sponsored the bill that would raise about $817 million over 10 years. Once fully phased in, the tax would produce about $91 million annually. The bill would fully fund the $250 million needed to finish widening I-93.

Campbell says nearly two dozen bridges have been closed over the past two years and more will be closed without additional funding. He also argues the tax increase won’t be reflected penny-for-penny in gas prices. New Hampshire’s tax rate is the lowest in New England, yet gas can be found cheaper in nearby states, he says.

Laconia Clinic offering Saturday hours for adults LACONIA – The Laconia Clinic’s Internal Medicine Department has started offering Saturday morning appointments for adult patients.

Physicals, routine care, sick visits and follow-up visits may now be scheduled for Saturdays. Laboratory, X-ray and pharmacy services are also available during the new Saturday office hours.

There are two major benefits for the patients associated with the new hours, say officials at the Clinic, a department of Lakes Region General Hospital.

First, patients who are not feeling well, can call for a

Saturday appointment, thereby avoiding long emergency room waits and saving money with lower office co pays.

Second, patients now have expanded opportunities for well-care visits. Patients that find it difficult to make doctor’s appointments for physicals and follow-up visits during weekdays can schedule visits on Saturday mornings and benefit from the convenience of expanded hours.

The expanded hours are available for the following physicians: Alfred Aung, Michael Dipre, Roger Gutner, Adora Maharaj, Valentin Milchev, Lawrence Rush, Ashley Warner, and Maireni Cruz.

LACONIA — The local Veterans of Foreign Wars post is hosting a 12-hour event Saturday to raise money for homeless veterans.

VFW Post 1670 at 143 Court St. will hold a QueenB-Mania, featuring disc jockeys, games, 50/50 raffles

and other prizes.

The teams are already in place but those wishing to make a donation can do so at the post home.

All proceeds will go to the Liberty House in Manchester for homeless veterans.

LACONIA — Laconia Youth Football and Cheer Association will hold football, cheer, and flag football sign-ups at the Laconia Community Center on Monday from 6 to 7 p.m.

The registration fee is $100 for the first child, and $50 for each additional child. Individuals can also

sign up by going to www.laconiachiefs.com. A copy of the child’s birth certificate, a completed physical form dated after January 2013 and signed by the physician, and the last report card for that year must all be provided before the first practice.

Show time will be 6:30-8:30 p.m. on the second floor of the library.

The third film in the series to be shown on April 3 will be “Beyond Our Differences”, a documentary film that explores the positive role of faith in the world today and the fundamental unity of the worlds’ religions.

Due to all of the problems facing today’s world -- war, poverty, weapons, environmental degradation, starvation, overpopulation and severe desperation among millions -- people

are longing for meaning. Many find answers in religion or spirituality, but as a result faith and religion are often hijacked by those seeking to enhance their own power at the expense of others, often all in the name of God. With this dichotomy in mind, “Beyond Our Differences” calls upon key religious leaders, politicians, and luminaries in their fields to tackle the toughest and most complex issues in the modern age, and they are asked what inspires them to affect positive change.

By sharing their personal experiences, each person will provide a unique perspective on how to support and strengthen compassionate see next page

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis how about that person who is exactly the way you want them to be? Can you imagine anything more boring? When you get the wrench thrown into your social works, consider it a blessing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Did you sleep through your alarm clock, or did you turn it off and claim to have slept through it? These things are to be expected on the day after a raucous full moon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The boomerang effect is happening big-time today in regards to your social impulses. The things you want to tell another person are very likely the things you should really be telling yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Wanting things to be different could be the start of a beautiful new world. Or it could be a waste of time and energy.

It all depends on your style of wanting.

Want, and then act. Don’t want and dwell.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The intricacies and complications of how things work threaten to bog down your progress. Honestly, who needs it?

Accept (SET ITAL) that (END ITAL) they work, and go from there.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 28).

New influences change your thinking this year. You may lose your grip on things that you thought you were absolutely positive about and love the experience of sliding into a different mindset. Special relationships make the process a blast. You’ll learn a new route to moneymaking in June. Travel in August. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 24, 33, 38 and 14.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). An increase in income usually means an increase in responsibilities, but not always. Sometimes it actually means that people are starting to understand the value that was there all along.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not one to phone it in. You give either your best or nothing at all. Of course, you want to work smart instead of hard, but most times the work you do is both.

Today will represent most times.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). We are all different. If that doesn’t seem to be the case -- if the people you know are blending together in sameness -- then try to make every person you know comfortable enough to bring their true self to the picture.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People relate to you because of who you are.

It’s not so much what you say or how you say it as it is where you’re coming from and what you want to do with that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In the wake of the full moon, this is a fine time to do a personal inventory. While you’re at it, make sure the things you give your attention to are really worth your time and effort.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You feel protective of the ones you love. You can’t help that. It’s a wonderful quality you possess, and they will be flattered and impressed if they ever get to see it in action -- and they might tonight!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe it’s not an entirely enlightened thought, but loving and helping yourself can sometimes feel like a chore. In that case, give up the self-help efforts, and just do what feels natural.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). And

In 1930, the names of the Turkish cities of Constantinople and Angora were changed to Istanbul and Ankara.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, March 28, 2013— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have a wonderful husband and a problem that started when we married last year.

We had a destination wedding. My husband’s stepfather paid for the immediate family to stay at a beautiful rental house. My brother’s ex, “Martha,” surprised us by coming, and she brought her daughter, along with a friend and her 3-year-old. The next day, Martha and her friend had to check out of their hotel hours before the wedding and simply assumed they would hang around the rental house until then.

This was not OK. Martha never asks permission. She and her friend left the toddler at the house while they went to get food and then came back with nothing for the child, so she went into the kitchen and made him a sandwich from our supplies. I can understand my mother-in-law being upset, but she overreacted and blew up at Martha. They argued, and Martha left and didn’t attend the wedding.

Although my mom understands how Martha can annoy people, she shut herself off from then on. She didn’t help me into my dress, paid no attention during the wedding and spoke to no one. After the wedding, we had a small reception at the house, and she locked herself in our room. I was devastated. My husband’s mother apologized profusely to my mother after the incident, but Mom refuses to get over it. She won’t come to family gatherings when my in-laws are present. She missed our son’s first birthday party.

I have tried to broker a truce, and I’ve told my mother I will no longer listen when she says negative things about my mother-in-law. The end result is that she avoids the subject and nothing is resolved. Please help. -- Stressed Newlywed Dear Stressed: Your mother is being childish and purposely hanging onto this grudge. We think she is jealous of your inlaws and hopes her petulance will make you more attentive.

It’s working. You are expending a great deal of energy on this situation. Stop. Tell Mom the subject is closed and if she chooses to lose out on family time, that is her decision, and you will no longer try to convince her otherwise.

Dear Annie: I need some advice on how to handle putdowns from my wife’s friends. It started when our nosy neighbor saw my wife beat me in a wrestling match. Now the neighbor makes remarks about my getting beat up by a woman. My wife refuses to come to my defense and says I have to deal with this woman myself. How do I deal with these gossipy bullies? -- Vince Dear Vince: It might help if you make yourself less of an easy target. You allow this neighbor to discombobulate you.

Ignore her, or laugh it off. Her opinions are unimportant. But tell your wife that you expect her to stick up for you when her friends insult you, because she would certainly want you to do the same.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Questioning in California,” who is converting to Judaism and whose friends are not supportive of her new kosher eating habits.

I’m not Jewish, but my husband is. For the past seven years, we have kept a strictly kosher kitchen. I recommend she learn how to make some tasty, unconventional kosher dishes and invite her friends over. I make an amazing Southwestern quesadilla and Kung Pao chicken. My husband makes gourmet pizza. We host every Thanksgiving and serve a traditional (kosher) turkey with all the trimmings.

With all this good food around, our friends and family adjusted quickly, and some of them even use our recipes. The lactose intolerant are always glad to know that many dishes served in our house are completely dairy free. In fact, I recommend kosher cookbooks to anyone who is lactose intolerant.

-- Kosher in California
