St. James agrees to sell to Boys & Girls Club Club expects to be in new North Main home by end of school year; church will be in ‘wilderness’ for ‘some time’

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Vestry of St. James Episcopal Church has accepted an offer from the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region to acquire the land and buildings owned by the church on North Main Street for the reported price of $700,000.

The announcement was made yesterday at a press conference at the church.

Cheryl Avery, executive director of the club, said yesterday that the transaction is expected to close sufficiently before the last day of school to enable the club to offer its summer programs at its new home. Beyond confirming that club has a balance of approximately $300,000 in a building fund, Alan see ST JaMES page 12

Big crowd attracted to Year-Round Library sustainability meeting

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILMANTON — With ideas voiced as wide-ranging as reaching people through the Internet to holding a barn dance and going to local restaurants and music venues for 50-50 splits, the Year-Round

Public Library was packed last night with people throwing out suggestions to keep the library open beyond November.

Library Chair Anne Kirby told people she was not only thrilled to see so many people in the library but to see a number of faces she didn’t recognize.

“You’re hear and that means you care,” she said.

This is the first public gathering of the library board and its staff since town voters narrowly rejected raising $45,000 to help pay for the operations costs of the Gilmanton YearRound Public Library. This

was the second time in four year voters rejected the funding request. The first time was in 2009 when the library first opened.

Along with nearly a hundred different ideas for fund-raising, the group agreed that step see LiBrary page 14

Flag signs, cigarette butts & trash collection time on minds as selectmen meet with biz owners

TILTON — Only a handful of Main Street business owners responded to the invitation of the Board of Selectmen to express their concerns about issues weighing on down-

town by attending a public forum last night.

Pat Consentino, who chairs the board, introduced the discussion by noting that the board had received questions and sug-

gestions about parking, signage and trash.

She acknowledged that there are inconsistencies in littering and trash ordinance and see TiLTON page 10

Pope washes feet of 2 women in break with church law

ROME (AP) — In his most significant break with tradition yet, Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of two young women at a juvenile detention center — a surprising departure from church rules that restrict the Holy Thursday ritual to men.

No pope has ever washed the feet of a woman before, and Francis’ gesture sparked a debate among some conservatives and liturgical purists, who lamented he had set a “questionable example.” Liberals welcomed the move as a sign of greater inclusiveness in the church.

Speaking to the young offenders, including Muslims and Orthodox Christians, Francis said that Jesus washed the feet of his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion in a gesture of love and service.

“This is a symbol, it is a sign. Washing your feet means I am at your service,” Francis told the group, aged 14 to 21, at the Casal del Marmo detention facility in Rome. see POPE page 10

Newtown gunman had access to huge weapons cache NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — When Adam Lanza walked out of his house for the last time, he left behind firearms and knives and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition — taking only four guns. They would suffice.

He loaded the weapons into his car, drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School, blasted his way into the building and within five minutes fired off 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle. Having slaughtered 20 first-graders and six educators, he killed himself with a shot from a Glock

handgun. He still had more than 100 rifle bullets at hand.

Warrants released Thursday provide the most insight to date into the world of the 20-year-old gunman, a recluse who played violent video games in a house packed with weaponry that was all too real. The inventory of items found in the spacious, colonial-style home included books on autism, a vast array of weapon paraphernalia and images of what appears to be a dead person covered with plastic and blood.

The weapons used in the shooting had

all apparently been purchased by Lanza’s mother, Nancy, with whom he lived, said prosecutor Stephen J. Sedensky III, in a statement accompanying the warrants.

She was found dead in her bed; Adam Lanza had shot her the morning of the massacre, Dec. 14. Authorities also found a gun safe in his bedroom and a holiday card from Nancy Lanza containing a check made out to her son for the purchase of yet another firearm.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Health officials on Thursday urged thousands of patients of an Oklahoma oral surgeon to undergo hepatitis and HIV testing, saying unsanitary conditions behind his office’s spiffy facade posed a threat to his clients and made him a “menace to the public health.”

State and county health inspectors went to Dr. W. Scott Harrington’s practice after a patient with no known risk factors tested positive for both hepatitis C and the virus

that causes AIDS. They found employees using dirty equipment, reusing drug vials and administering drugs without a license.

Harrington voluntarily gave up his license and closed his offices in Tulsa and suburban Owasso and is cooperating with investigators, said Kaitlin Snider, a spokeswoman for the Tulsa Health Department.

He faces a hearing April 19 where his license could be permanently revoked.

“It’s uncertain how long those practices

have been in place,” Snider said. “He’s been practicing for 36 years.”

The Oklahoma Board of Dentistry said the inspectors discovered multiple sterilization issues at Harrington’s offices, including the use of a separate, rusty set of instruments for patients known to have infectious diseases.

“The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has determined that see HIV TEST page 11

CONCORD (AP) — Lori Lerner and her husband purchased a second home on Newfound Lake more than a decade ago and loved the area so much that they moved in for good. Now, she worries the

construction of wind turbines on the ridges above the lake might stop others from following in their footsteps.

“Who wants to invest their hard-earned money in an area that’s being over taken

by these monstrosities?” she said Thursday.

Already, 24 turbines in the area reach 400-500 feet above the high ground, and three other projects that Lerner cited see WIND page 13

Pat Lockwood retiring today after 20 years as Alton’s executive secretary

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

ALTON — Pat Rockwood first held the secretary’s pen at the age of 13, when she began providing secretarial services to the “Loyal Workers” youth group at her church in Melrose, Mass. With a fondness for the written word and an interest in people, she fell quickly into the role. “It was just something that came to me naturally,” said Rockwood.

The “Loyal Workers” was the first stint in a career that saw her serve for many businesses and organizations over nearly 60 years of work. For the past two decades, Rockwood has been the executive secretary and welfare officer for the Town of Alton. On Friday, she will retire and will be succeeded by Mary Jarvis, who has been working part-time in the Town Hall for a few years.

Rockwood, who is turning 73 in May, was born in Boston and went to high school in Wakefield, Mass., and took various courses at a few Massachusetts colleges. Yet, from a very early age, New Hampshire played a large role in her life.

As a young girl, Rockwood’s family split its summers between Alton Bay — the Christian Conference Center, specifically — and a dairy farm in East Haverhill owned by her grandparents. It was at that farm that she caught the attention of David “Pete” Rockwood, who worked for Pat’s grandparents on the farm. The two married 51 years ago and have three children and four grandchildren.

Professionally, Rockwood worked for several companies in Massachusetts. One of her more interesting posts was with the Air Force Officer’s Club in Wichita, Kan., where she worked from 1964 to 1968.

“I met all kinds of interesting entertainment of the era — guitarists, comics, musical groups,” she recalled. It was a bittersweet atmosphere, though, because those entertainers were putting on the last show the airmen would enjoy before being shipped off to the Vietnam War. Throughout their lives, they kept memories of

Alton Bay in mind. Though living in Ayer, Mass., at the time, they purchased a cabin cruiser in 1989 that they kept docked in Lake Winnipesaukee, and a year later they had built their retirement home in Alton Bay. Her retirement was short-lived, though, and in 1992 she was hired by the Town of Alton.

“I could have retired at any time, but I enjoyed my job,” said Rockwood. “And, I don’t mind working.”

In her role, she’s enjoyed working with each of the eight town administrators that have come through Town Hall. “I like being aware of what’s going on in see next page

Lakes Region Flag Football “Demo Day” Demonstration Session Saturday, March 30 • 1-4 pm**

on the Inter-Lakes High School turf field There is no commitment, and there is no cost to participate.

N.H. to finally welcome home its Vietnam War vets on Saturday CONCORD — The residents of New Hampshire will welcome home their Vietnam War veterans this Saturday at the N.H. National Guard Aviation Hanger at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

One year ago the state Legislature passed a law that marked March 30 as the day to honor veterans of a conflict that ended in 1975.

“It is an opportunity for us to pay a debt that is 40 years overdue and an essential step toward healing a national wound,” said N.H. National Guard Major General William N. Riddel III who will be a speaker at Saturday’s event.

Attending the event are Governor Maggie Hassan as well as members of New Hampshire’s congressional delegation.

American Legion Post 1 in Laconia Adjutant Earlon Beale served in the U.S. Navy in Vietnam and said he would be there.

Beale said the event is not about him, although he wants his “Welcome Home,” but all the people in New Hampshire who served in Vietnam.

“There’s a lot of us out there,” Beale said, noting he believes there are at least 25,000 Vietnam veterans living in the state.

“We’re a very patriotic state,” he said. “When they called us we went and we served.”

The event is sponsored by the New Hampshire National Guard and the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery.

from preceding page town — all the different people and the social environment,” she said. She’s also enjoyed the luxury of having her lunch delivered to her, sometimes by her husband, other times by her son Benjamin, who works as a mechanic at Parker Marine.

Her role in Town Hall has allowed her to indulge her love of history.

For each of the 20 Annual Reports she’s helped develop, Rockwood has authored a page or two about a historical aspect of town; most recently she focused on the Alton Bay Water Bandstand. “I do like research,” she said.

She found that she also liked the role of welfare officer for the town, a subject she had no experience in prior to coming to Alton. “We do have a lot of welfare clients for such a small town,” she said, adding that she enjoys the opportunity to help connect a resident with support networks. Whenever she received a note of appreciation from a client, she said, “I loved it.”

Working in town for so long, she’s seen hard times, such as in 1996 when an earthen dam failed, flooding the area of town by the fire station and causing one fatality.

She’s also experienced one of Town Hall’s notorious ghostly residents.

Many have reported hearing phantom footsteps on the building’s very creaky floors. Rockwood, working late one night, saw a plaid-shirted appari-

tion that appeared in the office of her doorway. She isn’t shaken, though. “It doesn’t bother me to be here at night.

Other people have experienced more.”

In fact, it’s some of the more earthly occupants of the building that give her anxiety. Even with her decades of experience, she admitted that she still holds her breath whenever selectmen examine the meeting minutes she’s taken.

There have been heart-warming moments, too, such as the surprise brunch Town Hall employees put on for her after her final chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Rockwood was diagnosed with breast cancer and endured six months of daily treatments, ending in May of 2003. She listed the surprise brunch as one of her dearest memories of her tenure in Alton.

In her retirement, Rockwood looks forward to having more time to devote to her hobbies, such as playing the piano, scrap-booking, reading, and cultivating her collection of more than 500 dolls. She and Pete also plan to do a lot of traveling with their 27-foot Airstream camper, which they plan to pull to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, to Florida, and to California, all within the coming year.

“She’s taking a wealth of knowledge with her,” said Jarvis.

“She’ll be very missed,” said Paulette Wentworth, the town’s finance officer.

Republicans grow less hawkish in wake of Iraq Are Republicans no longer the party more inclined to military interventions and an assertive foreign policy?

It’s a question raised by the enthusiastic response to Sen. Rand Paul’s 13-hour filibuster and to his notvery-interventionist foreign policy.

It’s raised also by House Republicans’ willingness to accept the budget sequester, which includes defense cuts that former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called “devastating.”

Barack Obama thought those cuts would be so unpalatable that Republicans would agree to increase tax revenues to avoid them. A decade or two ago, that would have been true.

Not so today.

And it’s a question raised by the silence on the part of most Republican officeholders and the contrition of others on the 10th anniversary of the U.S. intervention in Iraq. Only John McCain and a few others have been defending a war that almost all Republicans and many Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, initially supported.

Historically, neither party has always been either hawkish or dovish.

Democrats supported the Mexican war; Whigs were against.,Republicans backed Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War; many Democrats wanted a compromise peace. Republican supported the Spanish American War and suppression of the Philippine insurrection; Democrat William Jennings Bryan ran against “imperialism.”

For half a century, Democrats were the party more supportive of military intervention. Democrat Woodrow Wilson, after winning reelection as the man who kept us out of war, called for a declaration of war against Germany six months later. He got it, with 50-some dissents. In the 1930s, Republican ranks included more isolationists than interventionists, and vice versa for Democrats. Franklin Roosevelt scrambled to send arms to beleaguered Britain and cut off oil sales (when the U.S. produced most of the world’s oil) to hostile Japan.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, all but one member of Congress voted to declare war.

But some notable Republicans, including Chicago Tribune publisher Col. Robert McCormick and former President Herbert Hoover, charged that FDR had maneuvered us into what people today call a war of choice.

Democratic presidents led America into wars in Korea and Vietnam, with death tolls more than 10 times what we have suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan. That was the history Bob Dole was referring to when he

talked of “Democrat wars” in the 1976 vice presidential debate. But by that time, the term was obsolete.

Only two Democrats (and no Republicans) voted against the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin resolution that Lyndon Johnson used as his license to send up to 550,000 U.S. troops to Vietnam. But by 1968, opposition to that war was welling up, primarily but not entirely within the Democratic Party.

LBJ was opposed by antiwar Eugene McCarthy and dropped out of the race. In 1972, Democrats nominated the dovish George McGovern.

For nearly half a century, they have been the party less supportive of military intervention.

Not that Republicans have invariably supported it. Ronald Reagan aided the Nicaraguan Contras and intervened in Grenada but withdrew from Lebanon. He built up the military but didn’t find much occasion to use it. George H.W. Bush got approval from the United Nations before asking Congress to authorize the Gulf War. George W. Bush sought U.N. approval for Iraq, too.

Democrats remained obsessed with Vietnam. Their speeches opposing Contra aid and the Gulf and Iraq wars were full of arguments more relevant to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution than to the issue at hand. Some Democrats disagreed.

Bill Clinton used force (without U.N. approval) in Serbia and Kosovo.

Almost all Democrats supported intervention in Afghanistan after 9/11. But almost all congressional Democrats tried to stop George W. Bush’s successful surge strategy in Iraq. Hillary Clinton found cause to question the veracity of Gen. David Petraeus.

The surge came too late to salvage the reputation of the Iraq War. Polls now show majorities think it was a mistake. Most Republican politicians seem disinclined to suggest we should intervene anywhere else.

World problems loom: North Korea, Iran, Syria, North Africa. Barack Obama may choose to respond militarily. He has just beefed up missile defense in response to North Korea.

If he follows up on his threat to attack Iran’s nuclear program, we could have a 2016 presidential race in which Republican Rand Paul criticizes military action and Democrat Hillary Clinton defends it.

That would be a political turnabout as stark as in the 1960s. Could it happen?

LETTERS Series of events has seriously affected Belknap County budget To the editor, How quickly we forget. For as long as I can remember Belknap County government has been conservatively and prudently managed, sometimes too much so.

Over the past five or six years there have been a series of events that had a significant impact on the county budget requiring significant administrative changes.

1. Several years ago the Nursing Home experienced a devastating federal compliance review. The upshot was a need for more supervisory and administrative support in order to comply with the regulations for care and avoid closure of the facility.

2. In 2008 there was an embezzlement of county funds. Subsequently, the auditors and accountants insisted on significant changes including one for an independent financial manager position.

3. In 2009, in an effort to balance the N.H. state budget, there was a downshift of the cost of long term elderly and disabled persons care under Medicaid in exchange for the state assum-

ing the cost of youth services. In 2011 there was a similar, although smaller, downshift. The current budget proposal holds another almost one million dollar downshift in long term care Medicaid responsibility. This has cost the county up to three million dollars.

4. At one time each county department did their own human resources (hiring and firing). There was inconsistency and some lawsuits. The human resources work was brought into the administration budget.

All of these events affected the budget.

As we all know, the process of governing is complex and fraught with intended and unintended consequences. Not long ago, former Senator Judd Gregg, in a television interview in essence said, “It is important to understand we are a constitutional republic system of government, not a parliamentary system. To make it function properly there has to be fair debate and compromise.”

Watermark has purchased my family’s land along Paugus Bay To the editor, Legacy Realty Trust has sold the lakefront property located at 1218 Union Avenue to Watermark, Paul Goodwin, on March 21, 2013.

The property has been in the Rudzinski family for 95 years, with all generations having many fond memories of living on Paugus Bay. Here is some brief information of the history of the property to help clarify the ownership. The business owners of the Shore Diner and Burger King were never the owners of the lakefront land as it has been thought through the years.

William Rudzinski Sr purchased the 622-feet of lakefront property on Paugus Bay in 1918.

In 1963 the property was divided between two of William and Ludovicki’s sons.

The northern parcel of 260-feet was given to John Rudzinski, which included the Laconia Ice Company and the home of his family. John sold his parcel in 1997 to Fitzgerald Motorsport.

The southern parcel of 362-feet was

Jr. The northern 112-feet of the parcel was the home of William and his wife Pauline and their five children where they lived from 1946 to 1973.

The remaining parcel of land, 250feet was leased to various owners of the Shore Diner building from 1935 to 1973.

In 1973 the entire parcel of land, 362-feet, was leased to franchisees of Burger King who demolished the Shore Diner building, moved the family home to Valley Street and erected a new building on the leased land. The lease was in effect for 35 years, until 2008 when they chose not to renew the lease. Per lease agreement, ownership of the building was transferred to the owners of the land.

In 1997 William and Pauline gave the 362-foot parcel to their five children, who established, Legacy Realty Trust.

Watermark leased the 362-foot parcel in 2011 until they purchased it.

We all wish Watermark success in their future endeavors on this beautiful property on Paugus Bay. Sylvia Batchelder

LETTERS N.H. Listens’ role is complimentary & not a substitute for govt.

House Finance budget will give mental health system a real boost

To the editor, I have followed the letters to the editor over the winter as a few of your readers have weighed in about our civic engagement work at NH Listens and our local partner, Lakes Region Listens. Until now, we have chosen not to respond to any of these letters.

We are more interested in being part of a public dialogue where everyone can speak and be heard equally than rely on the impersonal nature of an opinion column. But I am concerned that your readers might have formed an incorrect view of our work, so I have decided to respond at this time with a few corrections to recent letters printed here from Rosemary Landry of Meredith, Greg Hill of Northfield, and Ken Gorrell of Northfield.

First, NH Listens isn’t a corporation, a PR firm, or a corporate front group. If we were, I bet I’d spend less time writing grants and worrying about funding. We are employees of the University of New Hampshire interested in helping communities to come together and discuss in a civil, safe environment the issues that they have identified as important to them.

Second, we are often referred to in these concerned letters as using a “Delphi technique” of facilitation. We weren’t sure exactly what that was, so we Googled it. It appears to be a method to communicate information systematically through a panel of experts. That would not be an accurate description

To the editor, The New Hampshire state operating budget bill that has now made it through its first major hurdle — approval from the House Finance Committee — will give the state’s mental health system the most meaningful boost it has had in many years.

As members of Genesis Behavioral Health’s Board of Directors, we want to sincerely thank the members of the Finance Committee for listening to the consumers, families, providers and others who came before you to ask for restoration of our community-based mental health system. The Committee’s support for funding the state’s Ten-Year Mental Health Plan is a breath of fresh air and cause for great optimism.

We also need to applaud Governor Maggie Hassan for putting mental health front and center in her budget proposal, and for recognizing that this system is a critical part of the safety net for a large part of our population. Others who have helped build the case for moving the Ten-Year Plan forward are: hospitals and emergency room doctors; the police, courts, and state and county corrections systems; substance abuse treatment and prevention programs; healthcare providers; and the voices in the media who have worked to bring the crisis in the mental health system to the public’s attention. The work of these groups and individuals has also served to jump-start the next serious conversation we need to have: about the stigma that separates mental illness from other chronic long-term diseases.

As has been said before, we don’t treat people with cardiac problems or kidney failure the way we treat people in a psychiatric crisis in this state. In addition to correcting disparities in funding, we need to do a better job of educating people with facts about mental illness and thereby eliminate this bias.

But right now there is hope on the horizon and that is because of the budget the Finance Committee is sending to the full House for a vote on April 3rd. The funding for this biennium won’t solve all the problems created by years of budget cuts, but it will help the system catch up, by directing

of NH Listens or Lakes Region Listens, the group formed by local residents and the Lakes Region United Way to address Lakes Region issues. Our role is to facilitate conversations among attendees and identify common themes that arise in multiple small groups.

Facilitated small-group discussion is useful because it allows people to not only voice their opinions and their questions, but to have an exchange of values, beliefs, and ideas with others in the group. This is different from the format used at town meetings or school board meetings where there is usually only one-way communication, often timelimited and rarely interactive. We see our work as complementing, not substituting for, these more official occasions.

I could make this letter longer, but I’m told fewer people would get to the end. So here is what I suggest to your readers. Please come to an event and decide for yourself. We are really proud of our mission, and the feedback we are receiving from participants at these sessions tells us we are doing useful work in communities across the state.

There is a Granite State Future conversation at the Laconia Middle School on Tuesday, May 7. A full calendar of NH Listens events and more information about our work and who we are can be found at www.nhlistens.org. If you have questions, call us at 862-0692.

Insightful have warned of consequences of socialized medicine To the editor, It is actually encouraging as I watch citizens attempt to come to grips with perhaps the most sweeping, social movement and government takeover of our economy and health care, now taking place in this great land of ours. The Obamacare Survival Guide is a best seller. Former N.Y. Lieutenant Governor Betsy McCaughey has a handbook out, “Beating Obamacare”. Terry Savage, financial guru, has expressed her apprehension over the potential long term damage that Obamacare may inflict on this country. Dr. Benjamin Carson has recently been quite vocal on the urgency of working quickly to fix the many deficits inherent in this 2,700-page monstrosity. One that a variety of experts are still trying to decipher.

Docs 4 Patient Care and AMAC (Association of Mature American Citizens) have been warrior organizations in educating people about the disastrous affects of Obamacare and how best to deal with it.

Betsy uncovered the truth about “death panels”, the component that Democrats crucified Sarah Palin for warning us about. The compassionate phrase the left uses for them is “government-encouraged-end-of-lifecounseling”. By now, we all know that the misnamed “Affordable Care Act” will raise taxes, make it more difficult to obtain insurance and regulate the relationship between patients and their doctors.

While people know that Obamacare includes an expansion of Medicaid, Betsy explains what the complicit media failed to mention. Individuals in the Medicaid system receive horrible care with health outcomes worse

all. She reports that this shocking revelation has been well documented in major, medical journals.

Jonah Goldberg has an observation that should be filed under the heading, “another compassionate liberal policy gone terribly awry”. He explains, “it turns out that Obamacare actually makes self-insurance less of a gamble because you can always throw workers on public exchanges without penalty”. Yes indeed, gone awry for the citizens of this country. Obamacare, once fully implemented, will be a progressives’ dream come true.

A quantum leap for soft despotism and a potentially fatal plunge into the enslavement of a free society.

From Alexis de Tocqueville to Mark Steyn, insightful foreigners have warned us of the liberty sucking consequences of socialized medicine.

Daren Jonescu, PhD, Canadian philosopher and English teacher, sums it up precisely, I think. “To have lived in a socialized medical system is to have witnessed the heart of the stealthy darkness Tocqueville foresaw. Socialized medicine is the demise of individual liberty in the guise of ‘equal access’, a gluttonous economic shark masked as ‘affordability’, and a final denial of the dignity of all human life, euphemized as “universal care”. How sad it is that so many folks are caught up in the modern day “bread and circuses” of electronic toys and government freebies, that they have no clue our “benevolent” progressive, political leaders are slowly sucking the very life out of us in their shameless quest for an impossibly, irrational Utopian society.

resources for: — A new 10-bed Designated Receiving Facility.

— A new 16-bed Acute Psychiatric Residential Treatment Program, similar to the Cypress Center in Manchester.

— Ten new Assertive Community Treatment Teams, and expansion of ACT team coverage to seven days per week. Four adult teams will be added to the system in 2014, and six children’s teams will be added in 2014 and 2015.

— One hundred new slots in the Housing Bridge Subsidy Program – this funding will help keep those discharged from NH Hospital and others from becoming homeless and/ or re-admitted to the Hospital until they can qualify for Section 8 housing assistance.

— New community residence beds.

— Expansion of programs for older adults and for Peer Support Services.

— Two additional peer-operated crisis beds with statewide capacity.

These elements of the Ten-Year Mental Health Plan in the House Finance Committee budget are intended to start re-building the community-based system — not add to the population at N.H. Hospital. There is no reason to return to a centralized mental health system in this state, but years of cuts to the communitybased system, the loss of psychiatric beds in community hospitals, and the current waitlist for N.H. Hospital, do mean that some new beds are needed right now. The waitlist for N.H. Hospital beds, which puts adults and children in local hospital emergency rooms, was 44 on one day last month, and there is broad consensus that that is unsafe, clinically unacceptable, and just plain wrong.

The damage that has been done to the community-based mental health system didn’t occur just as a result of cuts in the last biennial budget. It was years in the making; some was due to rate cuts, and some was because the 2008 recession hit almost immediately after release of the state’s TenYear Mental Health Plan. The need now is to support this budget’s fundsee next page

LETTERS I fear we’ll lose our natural sound & skyline will never be same

You won’t find much evidence of rational beings in & around Jerusalem

To the editor, Foreign-based wind developers and operators are sitting on a pile of stalled projects in New Hampshire.

Iberdrola, EDP and other wind companies may have just opened the flood gates. Three new wind farm orders — worth hundreds of millions of dollars may soon be a permanent fixture around Newfound Lake for the next 15-20 years.

New deals are getting signed, new mountaintops are being sought, new people will be effected and new profits are being aggressively chased. Indeed, a flurry of activity has hit New Hampshire in the form of mass energy expansion — or should I say “Mass.” energy expansion.

Developers are mainly dusting off projects they already had in the works — like “Wild Meadows, Spruce Ridge and Alpine Ridge Farms”. We’ve only known about these projects for four months, yet they have been in the works for years. What we do know

To the editor, In the wake of President Obama’s trip to the Holy Land, thoughts of resuscitating the comatose “peace process” are again in vogue. Experts and commentators — often with a straight face — describe a procedure wherein the “essential nation” (us) brokers a “comprehensive two-state solution”; that is, we negotiate a Middle East where the nation of Israel and the nation of Palestine live harmoniously side-by-side.

For decades now, the concept has been easy to articulate: A Jewish Israel and an Arab Palestine occupy contiguous space around Jerusalem, which serves as the capital for both.

A so-called “green line” separates the nations. The “green line,” after land swaps and other adjustments, is more or less the border before the 1967 war.

In spite of the easy conceptualization, reality has been incessant war for 65 years. At times, its nature has been full-bore military engagement. Usually though, its nature is low-intensity cycles of attack and retaliation. “Lowintensity,” of course, is comparative. In the 21st century, nearly 8,000 people died in this “low-intensity” conflict.

More than 1,600 were children.

Many observers think the time is not right for a negotiated solution.

— Israel’s current government is inflexible and weak. Despite the casualty numbers cited above, no Israeli died because of Palestinian intifada in 2012. Consequently, urgency among Israelis for a permanent solution has ebbed. (Ironic to think belligerents stymie an active peace process by blowing up people and things.)

— No one voice speaks for Palestine, and the Palestinians think America is too far in the tank for Israel to be an honest broker.

— “Arab Spring” challenges the legitimacy of Arab governance throughout the region. Threats to established order undermine longstanding regimes and transform traditional strong leaders into skittish shadows of themselves. Most are now too insecure to risk an Israeli association. The few who do reach out (notably Kind Abdullah II of Jordan) see their imminent demise in the absence of a solution.

— The American government is at war with itself. Mired in perpetual political campaigning, utterances other than safe and failed orthodoxy initiate gonzo playtime in the juvenile facility that once seated humanity’s finest experiment in self-government.

Even if the times were better, some question the wisdom of seeking two states or a comprehensive solution.

Right-wing Israelis and a growing number of Palestinians think the goal should be one state. Many promoting a single state do not think it is truly a good solution. They have simply given up on two states. They cite a litany of reasons — some of which are touched on below — why two states are no longer possible.

While an Israel encompassing all

is that this is not a place for them.

We know developers are all linked together behind the scenes — in private — and that they share strategies behind closed doors.

I fear if they are built here we will lose. We will lose our views, our watershed will be in jeopardy, our wildlife will disappear, we will see a reduction of our property values, our recreation areas will shrink, we will lose our natural sound and our nighttime skyline will never be the same.

Will Newfound Lake have a curfew?

Will boaters be restricted from nighttime driving? Don’t laugh — this may be discussed due to the reflection of thousands of proposed blinking lights glimmering across the lake. Lights that confuse motorists rather than assist motorists may cause many accidents during nighttime driving.

If you are having concerns — now is the time to ask them.

We’ll have Shea-Porter & Shaheen to thank for higher premiums To the editor, We have Rep. Shea-Porter and Senator Shaheen to thank for higher health care premiums. Both SheaPorter and Shaheen voted to implement Obamacare. I am assuming they read the law before they voted.

So, my question is why did they vote for the Medical Device Tax? This tax is on heart valves, insulin pumps, and thousands of other products. It is estimated that there are over 50 medical device manufacturers in New Hampshire that will be taxed on their sales not their profit.

The tax could affect animal care.

Senator Shaheen wanted to have President Obama to delay the implementation of the tax until after the 2014 elections. Naturally, both Senator Shaheen and Rep. Shea-Porter are

up for reelection in 2014. In a vote on the budget, the Senate agreed to repeal the medical device tax. However, this vote is a non-binding amendment that means nothing.

Recently, it was revealed that there is an Obamacare fee (tax) of $63 per person to begin in 2014. This tax is to cover the cost of people with pre-existing conditions. This tax has significant consequences for large employers. Once again, why did they vote for this tax?

Recent actuarial studies have indicated that premium for health care could increase on average by 32 percent.

We have an opportunity to vote out Senator Shaheen and Rep. Shea-Porter in 2014.

Jim Mayotte Sanbornton

When Constitution was written they weren’t talking assault rifles To the editor, After reading three papers this morning, the big subject was guns.

Does anyone remember the song “Happy Trails” by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. You can watch their program on ME on Sunday. I think we all need to strap on a gun and holster just like they did in the old west and maybe bring back horses as transportation. The legislatures can’t make up their minds what they want to do.

Pass a bill one year. Get rid of it the next year or two and then bring it back the next year. At least leave it in there for a few years.

I hate guns and I believe that the person who invented guns should be shot! When the Constitution said an individual has a right to bear arms, they were talking about pistols and rifles not the assault weapons that are available today. Granted, guns will never go away and the saddest part of this is that guns kill innocent men, women and children. So, get your horse saddled up and sing along with Roy and Dale and ride out into the sunset. Be sure you leave your gun at home as you might shoot your eye out!

ing of the Ten-Year Mental Health Plan. The House Finance Committee’s decision to present their colleagues with a budget that provides a solid foundation for re-building the community-based mental health system is a huge step forward, for individuals and families dealing with mental illness, for communities, for the whole state.

We ask that all members of the House

contested areas may appeal to defeatist and ideologues, it is hard to imagine Israeli democracy surviving. Consider the numbers: There are about six million Jews in Israel. The Arab population in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank is about 5.9 million. On average, Palestinians are more than 10 years younger than the Jews are, and their birthrate is 50 percent greater.

Jews are destined to be the minority in an Israel that encompasses Palestine. To maintain its Jewish identity, a greater Israel would have to either cleanse itself ethnically or adopt some approximation of an apartheid society.

Her staunchest supporters might find difficulty supporting ethnic cleansing or national behaviors resembling South Africa before Mandela and de Klerk.

Those supporting a less than comprehensive solution have not given up on a single state. They think there has to be intermittent steps. While one can appreciate their frustration with the failed all-or-nothing approach, it is not clear a fractional approach will be any easier to negotiate or suitable to build upon.

Promoters of a partial solution have (in essence) sorted peace goals into three tiers: (1) Impossible issues in the current environment: Unfortunately, these are the core issues of conflict. They include final borders, settlements, refugees and Jerusalem’s holy sites.

(2) A provisional goa: The negotiators would strive to create a temporary Palestine in most of the West Bank, about 80 percent of it. Even as an interim step, however, this goal requires significant concessions from the belligerents. Israel would have to give up occupied land and remove about 40,000 settlers without a tangible guarantee of peace. Palestinians would have to accept numerous settlements and Israeli control of the most densely populated areas. Moreover, they would have to have faith acceptance of a makeshift, incomplete nation will not undermine their claim to complete permanence.

(3) Minor Adjustments: These might include simple transfers of control of specific areas within Israel’s purview to the Palestinian Authority or modifying tax and/or tariff policies to improve the Palestinian economy. The hope is genuine good will gestures will improve the climate for negotiation.

For what it is worth, any intervention that includes hope as strategy is more prayer than plan.

Given the frailties of the protagonists, the enormity of the issues and the weakness of ideas to obstruct the drift to catastrophe, disaster seems inevitable.

The British mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell once wrote, “It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.” Wonder what he was thinking about?

MEREDITH — About 130 people gathered at Church Landing last night for the Belknap Economic Development Council’s annual meeting of incorporators, collaborators, and special guests.

Workforce development was the main theme of the evening as speakers sent guests away with the message that successful workforce development is a collaborative effort that many businesses and organizations commit to.

In reporting on the organization’s 2012 activities, Belknap EDC Chair Sean Sullivan said, “The area where we had the biggest impact in 2012 was workforce development.” He went on to list several projects that Belknap EDC spearheaded, including organizing Lakes Region Manufacturing Week, obtaining a $140,000 Community Development Block Grant for Lakes Region Community College to purchase equipment for its new nursing lab, and obtaining $165,000 in funding for the 200 by 2020 Initiative. Belknap EDC’s detailed annual report is available at www.BelknapEDC.org.

Belknap EDC Executive Director Carmen Lorentz gave a joint presentation with Chris Kelly, owner of REMAX/Bayside and the current president of the Greater Meredith Program, and Alan Robichaud

of Granite United Way on the need for more high school students to be exposed to the world of work before they graduate. Lorentz, Kelly, and Robichaud are part of the 200 by 2020 Initiative, a partnership which aims to engage at least 200 businesses region-wide in providing a full range of experiential learning opportunities to local students.

The 200 by 2020 Initiative is presently developing an online, searchable database of internships and job shadow opportunities specifically for high school students. Lorentz explained that this tool will be available in the fall of 2013 for the entire Lakes Region. Students will be able to search the opportunities available, set up an account, and submit an initial application for an internship or job shadow online. School-to-career coordinators will then be able to follow up with the student and the business to facilitate the process of securing the internship or job shadow.

Lorentz stated that they already have 30 businesses signed on to participate, in addition to business relationships that local school-to-career

coordinators have already established and may choose to add to the database. Lorentz encouraged businesses to consider participating in this project.

“Time and time again we hear from employers that younger people lack the soft skills needed to be successful in the workplace. This is an opportunity to change that dynamic. And what a wonderful way to show our young people that they are valuable to us — by welcoming them into our businesses and showing them what real life is like. That experience will stick with them forever.”

The two recipients of Belknap EDC’s Community Impact Award were selected for their contributions to local workforce development efforts.

The Greater Meredith Career Partnership Program was recognized for positively impacting hundreds of Inter-Lakes students through internships, job shadows, a speaker’s bureau, employment connections, and student community service projects.

Thank You For Your Patience, Ted, Jen and the entire staff of theWater Street Cafe

TILTON from page one said that the board is in the process of drafting a simpler, more workable proposal to present to Town Meeting next year. Likewise, the Planning Board intends to propose changes to the signage ordinance.

David Townsend, the owner of Eli’s Attic, said that there was no shortage of parking downtown, but there are no signs directing visitors to the free parking lots just off Main Street.

At the same time, he suggested that the ordinance unduly restricted signage identifying and promoting businesses. He pointed out that the town hung American flags on Main Street and asked “why not signs advertising business?”

He was echoed by Tom Matthews of TLC Jewelry, who was told by town officials to take down “feather flags” marking his store. He said that the flags had flown for two years without incident and that business shrank 40-percent after they were taken down. “We’ve put our money here,” Matthews told the board, stressing that in advertising the store “we promote Tilton, downtown Tilton.”

Consentino explained that the ordinance permits flags announcing that a store is open, but not flags advertising the sale of particular goods. Selectmen Joe Jesseman urged business owners with issues to attend the meetings of the Selectboard and Planning Board and contribute to the revising and drafting of ordinances.

Apart from signage, Matthews was troubled that Main Street is often littered with cigarette butts. “Cigarette butts are everywhere. Hundreds of

them. That’s all you see. It’s horrible.”

He said he swept, but declared “it’s littering” and asked if the police had authority to enforce an ordinance.

Withojut disagreeing Ken Barrett of Brookline Auction Gallery, LLC ventured that 80 percent of the cigarette butts were tossed from passing vehicles. “It would be a helluva flick to reach the sidewalk,” countered Matthews, who claimed tenants living on the upper floors were primarily responsible. Several business owners joined Matthews in agreeing to volunteer to do what they could to keep the sidewalks clear of cigarette butts.

Steve Beaulieu and Heidi Carey, owners of the Blooming Iris, said trash collection was their biggest headache, because the ordinance prohibits homeowners and businesses from placing trash at the curb prior to the scheduled day of collection. Beaulieu explained that to ensure the trash is collected early in the morning he must return to downtown after midnight or near dawn to put it on the curb, because like most stores, theirs opens at 10 a.m. Instead, he said he often takes what is not recycled home and puts it in the household trash. Beaulieu suggested that instead of collecting trash on Main Street early in the morning, Bestway Disposal Services be asked to collect it late in the day. Consentino asked Dennis Allen, director of public works, raise the issue with Bestway.

Consentino said that the selectmen looked forward to more meetings with the business community and agreed to make a greater effort to encourage more business owners to attend.

POPE from page 2 “Help one another. This is what Jesus teaches us,” the pope said. “This is what I do. And I do it with my heart.

I do this with my heart because it is my duty. As a priest and bishop, I must be at your service.”

In a video released by the Vatican, the 76-year-old Francis was shown kneeling on the stone floor as he poured water from a silver chalice over the feet of a dozen youths: black, white, male, female, even feet with tattoos. Then, after drying each one with a cotton towel, he bent over and kissed it.

Previous popes carried out the Holy Thursday rite in Rome’s grand St. John Lateran basilica, choosing 12 priests to represent the 12 apostles whose feet Christ washed during the Last Supper before his crucifixion.

Before he became pope, as archbishop of Buenos Aires, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio celebrated the ritual foot-washing in jails, hospitals or hospices — part of his ministry to the poorest and most marginalized of society. He often involved women.

That Francis would include women in his inaugural Holy Thursday Mass as pope was remarkable, however, given that current liturgical rules exclude women.

Canon lawyer Edward Peters, who is an adviser to the Holy See’s top court, noted in a blog that the Congregation for Divine Worship sent a letter to bishops in 1988 making clear that “the washing of the feet of chosen men ... represents the service and charity of Christ, who came ‘not to be served, but to serve.’”

While bishops have successfully petitioned Rome over the years for an exemption to allow women to participate, the rules on the issue are clear, Peters said.

“By disregarding his own law in this matter, Francis violates, of course, no divine directive,” Peters wrote. “What he does do, I fear, is set a questionable example.”

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said he didn’t want to wade into a canonical dispute over the matter. However, he noted that in a “grand solemn celebration” of the rite, only men are included because Christ washed the feet of his 12 apostles, all of whom were male.

“Here, the rite was for a small, unique community made up also of women,” Lombardi wrote in an email.

“Excluding the girls would have been inopportune in light of the simple aim of communicating a message of love to all, in a group that certainly didn’t include experts on liturgical rules.”

Others on the more liberal side of the debate welcomed the example Francis set.

“The pope’s washing the feet of women is hugely significant because including women in this part of the Holy Thursday Mass has been frowned on — and even banned — in some dioceses,” said the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit priest and author of

N.H. Senate approves compensation fund for victims of frauds, like FRM

CONCORD (AP) — Investors who were swindled out of $33 million by a Meredith mortgage firm could get some of that money back under a bill passed Thursday by the New Hampshire Senate.

The abrupt shutdown of Financial Resources Mortgage in 2009 spawned criminal charges, the resignation of two state agency heads and multiple state and federal investigations.

Company president Scott Farah, who admitted pooling investor funds to pay off other loans, investors and personal expenses, is serving 15 years in federal prison.

The Senate on Thursday approved a bill that would establish a recovery fund that would receive $3 million a year until all claims have been satisfied. A committee would assess applicants and approve awards, which would be limited to a victim’s initial investment.

Supporters argued that victims should be compensated because state agencies failed to stop the scam.

Reports issued by multiple investigators faulted three state agencies for failing to follow up on numerous warning signs: the attorney general’s office, the Banking Department and the Bureau of Securities Regulation.

“This was a complete failure of state government,” said Senate President Peter Bragdon, R-Milford, a co-sponsor of the bill.

Opponents were concerned about setting a precedent and taking money from other state needs. Sen. Sylvia Larsen, D-Concord, said she agreed the state should have done more to stop the scam, but said, “We’re reimbursing people for what were very, very risky investments.”

Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, another bill sponsor, countered that the bill struck a balance between providing some help to the victims while not taking too much away from other needs.

“We’re not saying you restore every dollar,” said D’Allesandro, D-Manchester. “Our job here is to right wrongs.”

LANZA from page 2 expressed incredulity over the access that the troubled young man had to a cache of weapons.

“There are parts of this story that are unfathomable,” he said. “How anyone would have maintained that household that way is difficult to understand.”

Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son, Daniel, was killed at Sandy Hook, said he was not surprised by anything revealed Thursday.

“Most of this is pretty high level stuff that we were aware of already and it just reminds me of what happened, that a gunman stormed his way into an elementary school and shot to death 26 people, 20 of which were first-grade boys and girls,” Barden said.

The shooting elevated gun safety to the top of President Barack Obama’s agenda; at an event in Washington on Thursday, joined by the families of four children killed at Sandy Hook, he urged lawmakers not to get “squishy” in the face of opposition to gun control.

“Shame on us if we’ve forgotten,” Obama said. “I haven’t forgotten those kids.”

The debate has extended to Newtown, a rural community of 27,000 people in western Connecticut that is also home to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. A protest and counter-protest were held outside the

foundation’s offices Thursday.

If it’s possible to determine a motive for the massacre, there may be clues in Adam Lanza’s journals, which state police seized from the house and turned over to the FBI for analysis.

But authorities say that so far no conclusions have been reached. Sedensky estimated that the investigation will be finished this summer.

At the Lanza house, investigators found books about autism and Asperger’s syndrome, as well as one with tabbed pages titled “Train Your Brain to Get Happy.” Adam Lanza was said to have been diagnosed with Asperger’s, an autism-like disorder that is not associated with violence.

But the warrants also reveal an intense interest in weaponry and violence.

A gun locker in the house was open when police arrived in the aftermath of the shootings, and there was no sign it had been broken into.

Investigators found a 7-foot pole with a blade on one side and a spear on another, a metal bayonet, three samurai swords, a .323-caliber bolt-action rifle, a .22-caliber Savage Mark II rifle and a .22-caliber Volcanic starter pistol.

There was a military-style uniform in Lanza’s bedroom; literature seized from the house included a news article on a 2008 shooting at Northern Illinois University and a National Rifle Association guide to pistol shooting.

HIV TEST from page 2 rusted instruments are porous and cannot be properly sterilized,” the board said in a 17-count complaint against the dentist.

Officials are sending letters to 7,000 known patients of Harrington, but they noted that they do not have information for patients before 2007. The letters urge the patients to be tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV — viruses typically spread through intravenous drug use or unprotected sex, not occupational settings.

Harrington could not be reached for comment Thursday. A message at his Tulsa office said it was closed and the doctor’s answering service referred

callers to the Tulsa Health Department. Phone numbers listed for Harrington were disconnected. A message left with Harrington’s malpractice attorney in Tulsa, Jim Secrest II, was not immediately returned.

The CDC is consulting on the case, and agency spokeswoman Abbigail Tumpey said such situations involving dental clinics are rare.

In a similar case in Colorado last year, an oral surgeon was accused of exposing patients to diseases by reusing needles and syringes. Authorities sent letters urging about 8,000 patients to get tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.

Officials of the Boys and Girls Club and St. James Episcopal Church were joined by the Right Reverend Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop pf New Hampshire (second from right) to mark the prospective sale of the church property to the club. Pictured from right to left:Jeff Pearson, senior warden of the church, the bishop.Pastor Tobias Nyatsambo, Cheryl Avery, executive director of the club, Al Posnack, president of the club, Nancy LeRoy of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Walter Flinn and Scott Knowles, directors of the club. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)

ST JAMES from page one Posnack, president of the club, declined to detail the financial arrangements, but said that a three-phase capital campaign would be launched once the club has moved.

“The church is not the building,” said Jeff Pearson, senior warden of the church. “St. James is not closing. We will be directing our enrages to pursuing our mission instead of maintaining a building.”

He stressed that the St. James Nursery School and Hands Across Table, a program that feeds those in need once a week, will not be affected by the change of ownership. The church, which itself has held services at several locations during its long history before building on North Main Street in 1964, Pearson said will remain a presence and force within the community.

Avery said that the transaction originated with Alan Robichaud of Granite United Way, who spoke with the church then approached the club. After

Posnack and Walt Flinn, who chairs the club’s facility committee, met with Pearson and members of the Vestry, the deal came together relatively easily and quickly. “The church has been most gracious throughout,” said Flinn. while Pearson remarked that “it’s been a good experience with the Boys and Girls Club and we’re excited to see the building being put to such a good use.”

The church provides 14,000-square-feet of space between the ground floor and half-basement and sits on a 1.3-acre lot together with a 3,000-square-foot bungalow that is unocupied at present. The city assessed the value of the property at $1,139,500 in 2012.

Avery said that the church is is “an ideal location” for the club, not only a stone’s throw from Laconia Middle School and less than a mile from Laconia High School but also across the street from Opechee Park, with its beach, track and playing fields. The building houses a fully equipped kitchen and prosee next page

WIIND from page 2 would bring the total surrounding the lake to 120.

Their presence has put the economy of the Newfound Lake region in the central part of the state in a downward spiral, she said.

Lerner is part of a vocal contingent of New Hampshire residents urging the Legislature to temporarily put a stop to new wind projects until the procedure to approve their locations, known as the siting process, can be changed. It’s been criticized as outdated.

Opponents of the projects are concerned they’ll deal a major blow to the state’s tourism industry and real estate economy, and they want to protect local interests.

Their efforts were set back Thursday when the Senate rejected such a moratorium, instead passing a bill calling for two studies of the siting process.

One would be conducted by an independent consultant and the other by lawmakers. Lawmakers would get their recommendations by 2014.

The moratorium was too broad, opponents argued. It would have affected all energy projects not required for system reliability and would in turn set back New Hampshire’s renewable energy goals, and the siting process can be improved without halting it altogether, they said.

Sen. Jeff Woodburn, D-Dalton, who favored the moratorium, supported it partially because it would have prevented the siting committee from considering the Northern Pass transmission line project for another year, which many in his district oppose.

Some of his constituents worry that if aboveground transmission lines are built, they will hurt the region’s economy in order to bring power to Connecticut and Massachusetts.

If the lines go in aboveground, said Thomas Muller of the Owl’s Nest Resort and Golf Club said, they’ll put him out of business. “Our livelihoods are inextricably tied to the natural beauty of our state, and anything that disrupts that hurts our ability to make a living,” Mullen said.

from preceding page vides sufficient space for a gymnasium as well as expanded programming for elementary and middle school students and dedicated space for teens. Avery said that the building can be remodeled and reconfigured with minimal alterations to include a cafe, game room, computer room and teen center. Architect Peter Stewart and NCM Management , Inc. have provided planning services. She estimated that the building would have capacity for between 150 and 200 children and teens.

The property includes an extensive parking area and a playground alongside the church. Anticipating that the parking area exceeded the needs of the club, Avery said that some of the land would be used to provide outdoor amenities. “There is lots of space to work with,” she said.

The Right Reverend Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of New Hampshire, said that for some time “there has been a spirit leading us to see that God’s mission is outside our buildings.” He said that the Boys and Girls Club is “doing God’s work and doing it better than

the churches are doing it.” The sale of the church, he suggested, was an example of “new ways of defining our mission,” adding that “the cost of maintaining the building has obstructed and hindered the mission of St. James.” The church, said the bishop, seeks “to become much more a Christian movement than an institution.”

The diocese, Hirschfeld said, must approve the transaction, but noted that when he broached the issue with the clergy of the diocese, “they broke into spontaneous applause.”

Hirschfeld likened the position of the congregation of St. James Church to that of the Jews fleeing Egypt, recalling the parting of the Red Sea. He said that while the parting of the waves is widely deemed the miracle, rabbis teach that the real miracle was taking the first step. “St. James has taken the first step,” the bishop remarked. “There will be some time in the wilderness.”

People with fund-raising ideas packed the Gilmanton Year-Round Library last night for a workshop session on how to raise money to keep the library open beyond November 1.(Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

LIBRARY from page one number one was a solid business plan that could be presented to various donors and contributors.

After an hour of suggestions, non-profit business developer Lisa Gosselin said she would help with a team of people who wanted to put together a solid and professional plan the defined the goals of the fund-raising effort and how the money would be administered.

The Gilmanton Year-Round Library is a 501(c)(3) incorporated not-for-profit business. It is governed by a board of directors that holds open monthly meetings and is regularly audited.

Kirby estimated its true annual operating costs — salaries, membership in various library associations and utilities costs—– are about $120,000 annually with all but $70,000 filled by volunteers.

There is a $125,000 endowment and a portion of the endowment’s annual income is used to offset utilities.

Kirby said there is a very specific set of criteria governing how the endowment income can be spent.

Overall, the tone of the meeting was upbeat. Pep-

DENTAL CARE THAT IS

ALWAYS

pered throughout the meeting were occasional the occasional comments about the politics of the town and what brought the library to the point of facing closure come November, when it will run out of operating money.

One woman even pointed out that the problem is getting public funding is that taxpayers are under the impression that the town is already paying for two library — both of which are seasonal and cost the taxpayers a total of about $4,000.

“Your facility isn’t needed in their eyes,” she said, underscoring the theme of the fund-raising effort that wants to reach out to people and tell them how important they believe the library is to the community.

Another suggestion was to host and attract people who are not currently library supporters or patrons by engaging them through different types of activities.

Direct fund-raising wasn’t the only topic last night. Many said the library should work to get its supporters to write letters and make their feelings known to the selectmen and members of the Budget Committee, who have steadfastly refused to include funds for the privately-built library in the town’s operating budget. Each time funding has appared on the town warrant it has been as a separate article.

They noted that the town’s elected officials won’t support town funding unless they are convinced the majority of the voters also support the Year-Round Library.

One man suggested raising money by letting other people in the community know how important the yearround library is and how it has become, in his mind, such and integral part of the community.

“Let them know this is the community,” he said.

Leadership Academy in Plymouth launching, accepting applications for inaugural class PLYMOUTH — Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Scott Stephens, of Campton, and Primex Chief Executive Officer, Ty Gagne, of Holderness, are amongst the 36 community leaders from across the state currently attending the Leadership New Hampshire Class of 2013, due to graduate in May. As part of their invigorated commitment to fostering effective collaborative relationships amongst business, non-profit and government leaders in central New Hampshire, they are spearheading an effort to launch a local Leadership Academy for the 2013-14 academic year, which will reside under the direction of the Plymouth Regional Chamber.

Since 1992, the statewide Leadership New Hampshire program has prepared over 600 of the state’s most accomplished and talented professionals and community members for an expanded role in shaping the state’s future. By deepening their knowledge and understanding of the state, and strengthening their capacity to work with other key partners to create positive change, the program is helping enhance the collaborative capacity of community leaders to get things accomplished in their civic and business lives.

“Our region is surrounded by other regional leadership programs. We saw both a gap and an opportunity to develop a program specific to the Plymouth and Newfound areas.” said Gagne. “There is a great deal of talent and social capital in our communities, and this program will help grow and sustain both.”

“The Leadership Academy participants will have the

Program session days will run from September through May, meeting one day a month at a variety of locations throughout the region. In addition to sessions on state and local government and non-profits in New Hampshire, topics to be covered in depth include education, healthcare, the environment and sustainability, the criminal justice system and economic development.

Applications for the inaugural class are being accepted through May 10, and interviews will be scheduled by the end of May for the Class beginning in September 2013.

According to Stephens, candidates who live or work in communities in the Newfound, Plymouth, Squam, Baker-Pemi-Waterville Valley regions are encouraged to apply.

Dice game benefits Moultonborough Women’s Club scholarship fund MOULTONBOROUGH — The Moultonborough Women’s Club is planning a Bunco dice game party on Friday, April 5, at 7 p.m. to raise money for its scholarship fund. The event will be held at the Lions Club on Old Route 109.

Organizers say the club is holding the Bunco game, after the positive response to last year’s event. During the game, players switch tables and so get to meet new people. Players can bring their own beverage and free refreshments will be available.

The club is hoping proceeds from the

event will help to replenish its scholarship fund which has awarded a total of $71,300 in scholarship aid to 69 students during the past 12 years. Last year alone, nine $1,000 scholarships were awarded to Moultonborough students.

Club President Carol Bamberry, with Mary Whiting, Nancy McDonough, Peg Murray and Jeannine Royer, are helping to organize the event.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at Aubuchon’s or Bayswater Books. Additional information is available by calling 731-1942.

sion will take place at the offices of Live Free Home Health Care on Route 104.

The support group, which is free and open to the public, meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m.

Participants are welcome to bring a bag snack if they choose.

For reservations or additional information, call 254-7397 or stop by the office at 438 Route 104, next to JR’s Discount.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m a gay man and have been with my boyfriend for four years. I know he’s bisexual, but I guess I didn’t understand. He told me recently that he wants to have a girlfriend in addition to seeing me. I understand the logic, but I don’t like it. I don’t feel threatened. I know he loves me, and he’s not going to replace me with another guy. He views our relationship as steady. I’m sure if he ever settles down, it will be with me. I have a five-year head start over this girl, but it doesn’t sit right with me. Whenever I bring up concerns about sharing him or what the future will be like, he says we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Annie, what if he wants a child -- or decides to marry a woman to avoid the stigma of being gay? He’d still expect me to hang on. And whenever I issue an ultimatum about not dating anyone else, he says I’m allowed to leave whenever I want. I don’t know whether he doesn’t care or knows I don’t really mean it.

I love him and want to be with him forever, but I don’t think I could get used to being “the other man.” What do I do? -- Confused and Hurt from North Dakota Dear North Dakota: It doesn’t matter whether your boyfriend is gay, straight, bisexual or from another planet. He wants to have someone else in his bed, and you apparently don’t consider this cheating. You say his heart belongs to you, and yet you believe he could marry someone else. He isn’t being fair to you. You know this, which is why it doesn’t “sit right,” but you permit it to continue because somewhere in your head, you are convinced he is committed to you. He is not. He is manipulating you into sticking around while he plays the field.

After five years, it might be a good idea to set him free. If you are still available when he’s ready to settle down, he can contact you then. Otherwise, you are only making yourself

miserable and anxious.

Dear Annie: I took my 13-year-old cat to the vet yesterday and found out she has diabetes that is treatable. I will be learning how to give her shots.

I don’t drive, so my mom gave me a ride back from the vet, and I told her the diagnosis. She said, “You might want to put her down if you’re not able to give her the shots.”

Why would a person think so negatively? Why would she advise me to do such a thing when I’ve barely had an opportunity to start administering care? Mom has a cat that’s not nearly as sweet as mine, but it’s not as if she doesn’t understand. Please tell people to keep their negative attitude to themselves -- Iowa Dear Iowa: Mom was probably projecting her attitude onto you. She might not be as willing to take such care of her cat and uttered that thought aloud. Most people do not intend to say unkind, negative things. They simply open their mouths before their brains are in gear. Please forgive her.

Dear Annie: “Soon To Be Family Outcast” asked whether she had to attend a wedding in Canada, saying passports are too expensive. You answered the question, but you didn’t address her comment about passports.

One can get a passport card for about $55. If that is still beyond her means, she can look into an Enhanced Driver’s License. -- Michael in Indianapolis Dear Michael: We’re happy to clarify. An Enhanced Driver’s License allows land or sea travel between the U.S. and Canada and, at the moment, is available in only four states.

For information, contact getyouhome.gov. Passport cards (also land and sea travel) are issued by the U.S. Dept. of State (travel.state.gov).

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Arrive early. It’s amazing what a 15-minute head start will do for your confidence.

You’ll feel like you’re on the inside -- up to speed and ready for whatever develops.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’re ready to step up your game, and the opportunity comes this afternoon.

Your reputation for excellence exists in part because you show enthusiasm for what you do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Passion is self-serving by nature. But the outcroppings of passion often help many people. By yielding to desire, you put energy and excitement into an otherwise dull scene.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Working alone will put you in a down position. You will struggle to keep up with those who share ideas. By inviting more minds to collaborate on your work, you’ll quickly refine, simplify and improve it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re up for a search, and you have a talent for this. You’ll have to sift through a lot of muck in order to get to the good stuff, and this makes the treasure you find even more valuable.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 29).

There’s much to celebrate, including your thriving health and a love most fulfilling. Tread carefully in your professional decisions over the next three weeks because they will have longterm ramifications. The end of April brings a bonus. May puts a creative spin on your lifestyle. Wedding bells ring in June. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 2, 39, 49 and 6

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you were on a top-secret mission, would you tell anyone? Could you keep it from even your nearest and dearest?

Today your discretion will be tested and trusted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some have commented -- in wondrous, complimentary tones -- that they don’t know how anyone can do what you do. And yet, you still aspire to so much more. You’ll find their support motivating.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships have just the right amount of tension to make them exciting -- maybe even electrifying. Bonus: A lull in your work scene allows you to focus on your personal life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is no time to let the committee decide what you or anyone else will do next.

An individual with experience, ideas and a defined style will lead the way to success. It’s likely that leader is you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Proper attention to detail makes your work remarkable, your friendships fun and your love connections tight. However, focusing too small has the opposite effect. Ride the middle ground.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you continue to take on work that is below your abilities, you’ll stagnate. But right now, the easy work will suit your life just fine. It gives you a chance to focus on other things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One way to never be disappointed again is to stop expecting things. Unfortunately, that’s also a way to make sure the people you know behave according to the lowest belief of their abilities.

Yesterday’s Answer

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, March 29, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Good Friday, March 29, the 88th day of 2013. There are 277 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 29, 1973, the last United States combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct military involvement in the Vietnam War. In an address to the nation, President Richard Nixon declared, “For the first time in 12 years, no American military forces are in Vietnam.”

On this date: In 1613, King James I granted a charter officially designating the Irish city of Derry as “Londonderry.”

In 1638, Swedish colonists settled in presentday Delaware.

In 1790, the tenth president of the United States, John Tyler, was born in Charles City County, Va. In 1812, the first White House wedding took place as Lucy Payne Washington, the sister of First Lady Dolley Madison, married Supreme Court Justice Thomas Todd.

In 1882, the Knights of Columbus was chartered in Connecticut.

In 1912, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, his doomed expedition stranded in an Antarctic blizzard after failing to be the first to reach the South Pole, wrote the last words of his journal: “For Gods sake look after our people.”

In 1943, World War II rationing of meat, fats and cheese began.

In 1951, The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I” opened on Broadway.

In 1962, Jack Paar hosted NBC’s “Tonight” show for the final time, although the network aired a repeat the following night. (Johnny Carson debuted as host the following October.)

In 1971, Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. was convicted of murdering 22 Vietnamese civilians in the My Lai (mee ly) massacre. (Calley ended up serving three years under house arrest.) A jury in Los Angeles recommended the death penalty for Charles Manson and three female followers for the 1969 Tate-La Bianca murders. (The sentences were later commuted.)

Conn. Poet Laureate Dick Allen reads at Plymouth State University April 4 PLYMOUTH — Connecticut Poet Laureate Dick Allen will be the next reader in the 2013 Eagle Pond Authors’ Series at Plymouth State University. Allen will read from his works in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts Thursday, April 4, at 7 p.m.

Allen is variously known as a mystical poet, a poet concerned with recording the history of the last half of the 20th century, a poet of contemporary science, a Zen Buddhist-oriented poet and many more. In recent years he has often written in a new narrative-lyric hybrid form he calls “randomism.”

For the first time, the Eagle Pond Series will also include a PSU student writer will read from his or her own works at the beginning of the program.

Free tickets are available in advance at the Silver Center Box Office to ensure admission. Call the Silver Center Box Office at (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

A native of Troy, N.Y., Allen as a retired creative writing professor at

HANDYMAN SERVICES

the University of Bridgeport. He left teaching to study Buddhism and write poetry nearly full-time.

A regular book reviewer for The American Book Review, Allen is a member of The Poets’ Prize Committee that annually selects the nation’s best book of poetry, as chosen by fellow poets. Currently, he has finished a work of more than 30 years, a 207sonnet sequence, and is completing a book-length epic journey poem.

Allen has presented more than 350 poetry readings. He is also editor/coeditor of three noted college anthology/textbooks on science fiction and detective fiction.

Many of his Buddhist poems are written, Allen says, to “Americanize Buddhism and Zen Buddhism.”

“I’ve never really thought of myself as a poet per se, just someone who writes poetry or someone through whom poetry is transmitted,” he says.

The Eagle Pond Authors’ Series is sponsored by The Follett Higher Education Group (PSU bookstore).
