Gift of 28 Red Sox tickets freezes I-L board at the plate

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The gift of a block of tickets to an upcoming Boston Red Sox game proved last night to be as hard to handle for the Inter-Lakes School Board as a Clay Buchholz curveball.

The school board discussed

the gift at a meeting that also included talk of shifting athletic participation from baseball to track and field and the recently-passed warrant article that allows the district to hold in reserve a limited level of funds left unspent at the end of each budget cycle.

Superintendent Mary Ellen

Ormond said the gift of the Red Sox tickets came from InterLakes High School alumnus Scott Schoenbauer, son of longtime school board chair Carolyn Schoenbauer and grandson of Amy Brown, who served as school nurse. Schoenbauer, said Ormond is currently a Colorado resident who was

recently in New England for a family reunion. During his trip, he presented to the high school a gift of 28 tickets to the May 9 game a Fenway Park, when the Red Sox will host the final game of a four-game series with the Minnesota Twins.

SANBORNTON – The Budget Committee held its public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 2014 operating budget of $3,770,037 last night and about 30 people crammed into the meeting room of the town offices for the occasion.

Driven in part by a 2 1/2 percent across the board salary increase for all employees, the Budget Committee’s recommended budget is $14,400 less than the Selectboard’s recommended budget with the bulk of the difference coming from the two board’s differences in Fire Department per diem numbers.

With the two boards agreeing on the majority of the spending plan, the substance of last night’s public hearing was the differences between what was recommended by the boards and what was originally requested by departsee s’TOn page 8

CYPRESS, Texas (AP) — A student went on a building-to-building stabbing attack at a Texas community college Tuesday, wounding at least 14 people — many in the face and neck — before being subdued and arrested, authorities and witnesses said.

The attack about 11:20 a.m. on the Lone Star Community College System’s campus in Cypress sent at least 12 people to hospitals, while several others refused treatment at the scene, according to Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department spokesman Robert Rasa. Two people remained in critical condition Tuesday evening at Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute, spokeswoman Alex Rodriguez said.

CONCORD (AP) — Exxon Mobil Corp. was found liable Tuesday in a long-running lawsuit over groundwater contamination caused by the gasoline additive MTBE, and the jury ordered the oil giant to pay $236 million to New Hampshire to clean it up.

The jurors reached their verdicts in less than 90 minutes, after sitting through nearly three months of testimony. Lawyers on both sides were stunned by the speed with which they reached the verdict on liability and even more stunned when the jurors took barely 20 minutes more to fill out the damages verdict.

Juror Dawn Booker of Pembroke told The Associated Press that all 12 felt “very, very confident about our decision.”

“We’ve been sitting there for three

months listening,” Booker said. “It was just cut and dry. We all pretty much had our own decision before we went in there.

“Honest to God, we put a lot of heartfelt thought into it,” Booker said. Although the state’s burden of proof was a preponderance of the evidence — or 51 percent as the judge explained — Booker said “it was way more than 51 percent for New Hampshire.”

The panel awarded the state all $236 million it was seeking from Exxon Mobil to monitor and remediate groundwater contaminated by MTBE. The chemical was added to gasoline to reduce smog but was found to travel farther and faster in groundwater than gasoline without the additive.

“We appreciate the jurors’ service during this long trial, but erroneous rulings prevented them from hearing all the evi-

dence and deprived us of a fair trial,” said Exxon Mobil lawyer David Lender. “We have strong legal and factual arguments to make on appeal.”

Attorney General Michael Delaney said he anticipates an appeal and doesn’t expect to see the money “anytime soon.” He said the case and the verdict are historic.

The verdict is more than twice the $105 million jurors awarded the New York City Water District in 2009 in its case against Exxon Mobil over MTBE contamination.

That case is on appeal.

Sher Leff, a California law firm that won the New York City verdict, was hired by the state of New Hampshire at the outset of its 2003 lawsuit to try its case against Exxon Mobil. see VERDICT page 9

Deal on farm workers said to clear way for landmark immigration bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — A tentative deal has been reached between agriculture workers and growers, a key senator said Tuesday, smoothing the way for a landmark immigration bill to be released within a week.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who’s taken the lead on negotiating a resolution to the agriculture issue, didn’t provide details, and said growers had yet to sign off on the agreement. The farm workers union has been at odds with the agriculture industry over worker wages and how many visas should be offered in a new program

to bring agriculture workers to the U.S. But Feinstein said she’s hoping for resolution in the next day or two.

“There’s a tentative agreement on a number of things, and we’re waiting to see if it can get wrapped up,” Feinstein said in a brief interview at the Capitol.

“I’m very hopeful. The train is leaving the station. We need a bill.”

The development comes as a bipartisan group of senators hurries to finish legislation aimed at securing the border and putting 11 million immigrants here illegally on a path to citizenship, while also allowing

tens of thousands of high- and low-skilled foreign workers into the U.S. on new visa programs. The agriculture dispute was the most prominent of a handful of unresolved issues. There’s also still some debate over plans to boost visas for high-tech workers.

The group of four Republican and four Democratic senators has been hoping to release the landmark immigration bill this week, possibly as early as Thursday. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a leader of the group, said Tuesday that this week remains the goal. But it also looked possible it could slip see IMMIGRATION page 10

Lawmakers consider ending seniors’ free access to state parks

CONCORD (AP) — Supporters of a bill to end free admission for seniors at state parks said Tuesday that the new fees could generate more than $300,000 a year, but opponents argued the change would make parks unaffordable for low-income seniors.

The House Resources, Recreation and Development Committee held a hearing Tuesday on a bill that would require people age 65 or older to pay the same day-use fees as other adults, usually $4 or $5, or buy season’s passes for $20 each, a third of the usual cost for such a pass. The bill also would end free admission for lawmakers, the Executive Council and the governor’s staff and would get rid of coupon books that offer 20 percent discounts.

Unlike every other state, New Hampshire’s state parks system relies entirely on admission fees for its operating budget, and it has struggled with large deficits in recent years.

Sen. Nancy Stiles, the bill’s sponsor, said if the self-funded system is going to continue it doesn’t make sense to offer free admission to large groups.

“We cannot continue to expect our parks to be self-sufficient if we continue to identify groups that don’t have to pay anything to enjoy the wonder and beauty of our parks,” said Stiles, R-Hampton.

The New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation says it manages nearly 100 properties’ campgrounds, beaches, natural areas, historic sites and recreational trails. The division’s director, Philip Bryce, estimated that seniors make up about 20,000 of the 735,000 visitors to day-use parks each year. Charging them admission could generate $320,000, he said, assuming 60 percent them purchase the $20 annual passes. That money would be enough to operate four or five midsize parks, he said.

“In recent years we’ve been unable to open some parks, even if they are revenue generating, and we’ve been able to provide limited if any support to non-revenue-generating parks,” he said.

Analyzing the current fee system, he said, is part of a larger effort that includes finding ways to control costs, generate more revenue and work more with outside groups to support the parks. He called the proposed $20 season’s pass a bargain, especially compared with the $15 daily parking fee at Hampton Beach State Park.

Sara Dustin, a member of the New Hampshire Alliance for Retired Americans, said many members of her organization oppose the bill. Dustin, 75, said she still works as an antiques dealer to supplement her $888-per-month Social Security income and would not beabletoaffordthe$20pass.

Loon Preservation group wants ban on light lead weights CONCORD (AP) — Wildlife conservationists said Tuesday their efforts to restore New Hampshire’s loon population are being undercut by lead fishing tackle that the water fowl mistakes for food then dies of lead poisoning.

New Hampshire lists the loon as a threatened species, and was the first state to pass a partial ban on lead tackle in 1998.

But conservationists said at a news conference that New Hampshire law now lags behind neighboring states such as Maine and Massachusetts that have more effective bans. Biologists and volunteers urged House members to pass a bill that would change the ban to base the restriction on tackle weight rather than size.

The state currently prohibits the use of leadweighted hooks, known as jigs, that are 1 inch long or less. The bill would change the standard to ban jigs that weigh 1 ounce or less. The measure has passed the Senate and is to go before the House Fish and Game Committee this month.

Sheridan Brown, a spokesman for the New Hampshire Loon Preservation Committee, said the proposed change is based on the type of tackle removed from loons that die from lead poisoning. Brown said 49 percent of adult loons die as a result of ingesting lead fishing tackle and half of those deaths are from tackle that is currently legal.

In addition, loons typically don’t breed for the first six years, making the loss of adults devastating to population growth.

Tom O’Brien of the New Hampshire Lakes Asso-

ciation said loons are a sign of the overall ecological health of a lake habitat. He said the birds also are loved for their beauty, distinctive call and prowess as divers and many people have come to appreciate them because of the movie “On Golden Pond” in which the birds are part of the scenery.

Biologist Harry Vogel, director of the loon committee, said using different tackle could dramatically aid the growth of the bird’s numbers, which he said is rising because of conservation efforts but is only half of its historic levels.

But Rep. Al Baldasaro, a Londonderry Republican, who said he wanted to provide another view and showed up at the press conference, said the ban would hurt local businesses and could potentially mean a loss for New Hampshire of bass fishing tournaments that draw competitors from around the country.

“What are we going to do, put a sign up at the border?” Baldasaro asked.

The tighter ban would go into effect in 2015 to give businesses time to sell their existing inventory of lead tackle banned under the proposal.

TILTON — At the invitation of Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), George Bald, the interim executive director of the New Hampshire Local Government Center (LGC) met with a handful of municipal officials at the Senior Center last night to express his appreciation for their support of the organization while reassuring them that it is resolving its problems and pursuing its mission.

The LGC’s troubles began in 2009 when a complaint was filed with the Secretary of State, which regulates the LGC, alleging that it charged member municipalities excessive premiums for health, property and liability insurance to fund its workers’ compensation insurance program. Following an investigation by the Bureau of Securities Regulation and two weeks of hearings, a hearings officer found that the LGC charged excessive premiums, improperly managed funds and accumulated excessive an surplus and ordered it to return some $53-million to municipalities. The LGC appealed the order to the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

Last month, the Board of Directors of the LGC named Bald to replace Maura Carroll in hopes ending the protracted and bitter dispute with the Secretary of State.

Bald, who retired as commissioner of the Department of Resources and Economic Development in November, recalled that he has had “a soft spot” for the LGC since at the age of 27 he was elected Mayor of Somersworth in 1978. He said that the staff of the New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA), which was founded in 1941 and reorganized under the umbrella of the LGC in 2003, flattened his learning curve as a young mayor.

The NHMA, which advocates for municipalities before the Legislature while providing legal and other services to municipal officials, counts 232 of

the 234 cities and towns among its members. Bald said that “if the NHMA did not exist, we’d ask why isn’t there an organization like it.”

The Health Trust serves 496 units of local government, providing health insurance to some 75,000 public employees and their families. Nearly 400 units of government purchase property and liability insurance from the LGC. Bald said that he has three priorities — ensuring maximum transparency, resolving the litigation and reorganizing the LGC. Acknowledging that in the past officials of the LGC withheld information to which the public was entitled, he said that henceforth the organization will be “totally open” and comply with the “Right-toKnow” law.

Noting that the hearing officer’s order includes 21 items, Bald insisted the LGC is complying with all of them. “The board seeks compliance,” he said. “We are returning money to cities and towns. The money is available and we’ll just do it.” He explained that $33-million will be returned from the Health Trust and $3-million from the Property and Liability program while another $17-million in the worker’s compensation program will be returned to the Health Trust. Municipalities, he said, can choose to accept the funds as either a premium holiday on their insurances or as a lump sum cash payment.

Finally Bald said that he was asked to reorganize the LGC. He said that the insurance programs came to overshadow the NHMA and indicated he was considering how to restructure the organization to ensure that the services — legal, advisory, advocacy and training — it provides take precedence.

Forrester said that “my greatest fear was that the LGC would go away,” adding that “I represent 27 towns that depend on it.” Bald assured her that while “some might like to see it go away,” the organization “is getting back on track and doing things right.”

STABBINGS from page 2 clutching her neck walked in, yelling, “He’s stabbing people! He’s stabbing people!”

Cotton said he could not see the girl’s injuries, but when he and his friends went outside, they saw a half-dozen people with injuries to their faces and necks being loaded into ambulances and medical helicopters.

Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said it was not immediately clear what type of weapon was used, but there were indications when calls came in to the

department that “students or faculty were actively responding to work to subdue this individual.”

“So we’re proud of those folks, but we’re glad no one else is injured any more severely than they are,” Garcia said.

Michelle Alvarez told the Houston Chronicle she saw the attacker running toward other students and tried to back away. She said she didn’t even feel it as he swiped at her.

Gilford man gets 12 months for gun theft

LACONIA — A former Gilford man will serve 12 months in the Belknap County House of Corrections for his role in the September 2011 burglary and theft of a Gilford safe that contained seven handguns.

Ryan Tuttle, 24, of 23 Saltmarsh Pond Road pleaded guilty to one count of falsifying physical evidence and once count of theft.

He is currently incarcerated in the New Hampshire State Prison for a charge of being a felon in possession of a weapon. He is scheduled for release in September of 2015 and will serve his 12 month sentence once his current sentence is completed.

Gilford Police said after an investigation they found the safe buried in a fire pit toward the rear of Tuttle’s family property. Police said Tuttle, who was arrested and incarcerated a few days after the burglary on unrelated charges, tipped police when he spoke of the burglary and the guns to one of his relatives over a recorded line at the Belknap County House of Corrections.

Eight months later, and after one of her friends was questioned by police, one of Tuttle’s relatives told police in an interview that she had seen five of the guns a few days after the burglary.

The victim said Monday he was at Tuttle’s sentencing and he is satisfied with the sentence.

Andrew Soboleski, 21, formerly of High Street in Laconia was indicted by a grand jury for the actual burglary into the home and eight counts of theft by unauthorized taking — once for each of the guns and once for the safe.

He is scheduled to stand trial in May. — Gail Ober

Student Michael Chalfan said he was walking to class when he saw a group of police officers also running after the suspect. He said one officer used a stun gun to help subdue the man.

Lone Star officials initially urged people on campus, about 25 miles northwest of downtown Houston, to take shelter and be on alert for a second suspect. But the sheriff’s department said authorities believe just one person was responsible.

Garcia said buildings still were being searched hours later. Long lines of vehicles carrying students and staff streamed off campus as law enforcement directed traffic away from the school.

Where have all the workers gone?

That America created only 88,000 jobs in March, less than half the number anticipated, was jolting news, indicating the recovery that the White House has boasted about may not be at hand. But in that March jobs report, there was more disturbing news. While unemployment fell to 7.6 percent, the reason it fell is alarming.

Half a million U.S. workers (495,000) disappeared from the labor force. They dropped out. They are no longer even looking for a job.

Worse, this appears to be an inexorable trend. The participation rate of eligible workers in the United States has fallen to 63.3 percent, a level unseen since Jimmy Carter gave his malaise speech in 1979.

These folks, who have quit working and quit looking, who are they?

How do they support themselves?

What does this surging dropout rate from the workforce portend for America’s future?

Disproportionately, the dropouts are young, black, Hispanic, female, working class. Some have gone home to live with their parents and may have re-enrolled in school to re-enter the job market better prepared. But other indices are troubling. Though we have been creating jobs for two years, even if at a torpid pace, the food stamps rolls have soared to 47 million at a cost of $80 billion. When George W. Bush departed, 31 million Americans were on food stamps. Fifty years ago, there was no food stamp program. Yet, now more than one in seven Americans is fed by government.

In another shocking number, almost 9 million Americans ages 20 to 64 years old — nearly 5 percent of the working-age population — is receiving disability pay. Among workers 55 to 64, 10 percent are on disability. Few of those folks will ever enter the job market again.

In 1971, only 1.5 percent of U.S. workers were on disability. Yet, today’s workplace is a less hazardous and safer place than it was back when manufacturing was a far larger factor in the economy.

Other questions are raised by the Friday numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Why is Asian unemployment 5 percent, while the Hispanic rate is more than 9 percent and the African-American rate more than 13 percent? Do Asian-Americans and Asian immigrants have a superior work ethic or superior capacities for work and success in a post-industrial economy?

And with 14 percent of the U.S. labor force unemployed, underemployed or having quit looking for work, why is Congress about to grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens who are taking and doing jobs that might otherwise go to unemployed Americans? Patriotism

argues that we enforce the laws against businesses that hire illegals and declare a time-out on handing out a million green cards every year to foreign folks to come here and work, until our own fellow countrymen are fully employed.

As to why so many are dropping out of the U.S. labor force, politically incorrect thoughts come to mind.

Have we made idleness so appealing we are killing the work incentives of millions, and perhaps tens of millions, who would prefer not to work, if they don’t have to work?

In the 19th century, the phrase was “root, hog or die.” Raise crops, farm animals or starve. From the Jamestown colony to the 20th century, America was a self-sufficient society in which all understand St. Paul’s epistle to the Thessalonians, “He who does not work, neither shall he eat.”

During Depression days and World War II up through the 1950s, the necessities of life were provided by the individual himself or herself or by the family. Today, however, government provides for almost all of the needs of those who claim they cannot provide for themselves. There is the welfare program Temporary Aid for Needy Families. Medicaid pays the health care costs. Head Start, free public schools K-12, Pell grants and student loans take care of education from cradle through college. School breakfasts, lunches and food stamps take care of feeding folks who say they cannot feed themselves. So successful are these programs that obesity is most prevalent among food stamp recipients. Then there are the unemployment checks, rent and energy subsidies and endless tax credits for taxes never paid.

The impolitic questions that arise are these: Has the welfare state killed the work ethic for a rising share of the American people? If you can live a comfortable life with your food, shelter, health care, education and income paid for or subsidized, why work when you don’t have to?

Today, the top 1 percent of Americans in income pays 37 percent of all income taxes. The top half of wage earners pays 98 percent of all income taxes. How long can one-half of America carry the other?

With the Baby Boomers going on Social Security and Medicare at a rate of 300,000 a month, and scores or hundreds of thousands going on disability rolls and quitting the labor force every month, what kind of future are we looking at?

LETTERS Senator Ayotte, you have unique opportunity to do right thing To the editor, An open letter to U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte: There is a very important vote coming to the Senate: common sense limitations on gun violence. Will you seriously consider the following vital ideas as you sort out the many pieces of this difficult problem?

No society can function without some limitations (laws) to protect us from each other. We agree to traffic lights to protect each other from our 250 horsepower vehicles. We must protect each other from 30 round magazines on guns. We have to prove who we are to purchase and register our automobiles. We need the same kind of common sense background check when we purchase and register a gun.

Our contemporary conversation has set the unlimited freedom for a few vocal gun owners and their gun industry spokesman in opposition to the safety of all human beings. To choose the former, is to fall into a position of Moral Turpitude — a gross disregard of moral standards expected of a human being. Newtown, CT is part of our neighborhood. We cannot allow ourselves to become separated from the shared pain in the gunning down of 20 six year olds and their 6 teachers in less than five minutes.

We live in a moral universe but we

still have to practice our morality every day, even if it may not be perfect. Senator, you have a unique opportunity to do the right thing. You can be a leader, step out of the protective shadows and take a risk. That is what leaders do. Former U. S. Representative Gabby Gifford, a survivor of a mass shooting, said this to all who govern, “Be bold. Be courageous.”

Senator, you can set yourself apart on strong humanitarian and moral ground by voting in favor of common sense gun limitations. The Newtown families deserve a vote on the Senate floor.

Kathryn House, a native North Carolinian and a doctoral candidate at Boston University School of Theology states in her essay titled, “on ‘prefix people’: “Unbind what seems fixed.

In the end, we are asked to hold one another as beloved — to behold one another. Here is a radical invitation to consider what it means to care for, honor and love one another. Here is an invitation to abide with each other, to not be limited by the names and titles and ways of relating you once thought were the only ones available.”

Finally, let me finish with a thought from the ancient poet Rumi: “Beyond our differences, there is a field. I will meet you there.”

David B. Hart Laconia

Ask yourself who is benefiting from the status quo? The rich!

To the editor, I’m afraid I’ve decided that our society is hopelessly on the rocks, and the American Dream is history.

The symptoms are economic. The main financial tasks of citizens — getting educated, getting housed, educating one’s own children, saving for retirement, and staying healthy while doing so — have all increased hugely in cost, while our society provides fewer and fewer jobs that provide the income to make this possible. Interestingly, one of the results of this awful situation is anger — from the Tea Party on the right to us radical progressives on the left. We are angry at the same things, but we ascribe them to differ-

ent causes. The right believes that it is the fault of government, which is taking away, not only their freedoms, but their hard-earned money in taxes.

The left (I admit it — me) says look to the old principle of “cui bono?” Who is benefiting? The answer is not the government — who in government is getting rich by following the system?

The answer is the rich, who are exerting more power, making more money, and paying lower taxes than ever in recent history. If the angry people of the right and left ever figure out that they agree on a couple of basic principles, there will be some hell to pay.

LETTERS I’ll no longer attempt to create & maintain community focal points To the editor, In your March 12th paper, I wrote a letter regarding the selectman’s race in Meredith. In this letter I pointed out a few ways the Greemores have given back to their community and in doing so I listed the Childs Park Project as one of their many charitable donations. Apparently I was mistaken and would like to apologize to those involved for making such a heinous mistake. Thank you, Mrs. Trombi, for bringing this issue to my attention.

Thank you too for the in depth explanation of “Volunteerism”... without it I would have for ever remained clueless of what it means to give back to my community.... Google me, PLEASE. I would also like to take a moment to thank the Wicwas Lake Grange and the Greater Meredith Program for the wonderful gift of flags that now don the utility poles through MC. What a beautiful sight. The Grange is certainly doing some amazing things these days and as a life long resident of MC I am thrilled to see the changes.

Steve Durand is an excellent choice for Master of the Grange. His graciousness and person ability is outstanding and he serves as a shining example of what the Grange strives for. There is a lesson, for his membership, to be learned through his example.

With this being said, I will conclude this letter by sharing with my community that it has be a pleasure, these past few years, to do my part to make our little corner of the world look a little nicer when we were overlooked.

Sadly, yesterday it was made painfully clear that my efforts were no longer needed nor wanted. Therefore, I will no longer attempt to create or maintain any community focal spots. The two projects I have begun, the traffic triangle and the boat launch I will, as quickly as possible, bring to a finish point ... then take my tools and go home and hope that we don’t simply become a memory once the glory days have faded. Good luck and God Bless Holly Tetreault Meredith

‘Annie, Jr.’ was a splendid choice that was beautifully performed To the editor, Kudos to the Inter-Lakes Middle Tier Theater Company: the show “Annie Jr.” was well-advertised, excitedly anticipated and beautifully performed by a large cast of promising and talented young actors and actresses from the Inter-Lakes. Based on “Little Orphan Annie,” a part of the Broadway collection, the show “Annie Jr.” proved to be magnificent, meaningful and memorable.

On the evenings of April 5 and 6, capacity crowds filled the Inter-Lakes Community Auditorium. Theater goers, who had seen several Middle Tier performances before, knew that Ms. Kathleen Hill was an excellent director who always brought out the best in her students. They anticipated another great production and looked forward to every stage endeavor that would be created in this one.

The show was certainly a splendid choice. Its large cast gave many more youngsters an opportunity to participate in a variety of roles. The casting of lead roles, as well as the many complementing ones, was superbly done by the director

and tested with a final excellence.

A functional and practical stage design and stage sets were handled well by the backstage crew, punctual by cue and time. A panorama of colorful costumes served as an impressive backdrop for the many singing and dancing routines that were so perfectly synchronized.

Effective sound and lighting changes were the work of several people who had served in the booth on many previous occasions.

When the final curtain closed on each show, every audience member marveled at the visible presence of youth, at the exuberance and excitement of every cast member, and at the display of outstanding skill and talent of these fine young actors and actresses.

Surely Director Hill had another first to add to her list of theater credits — certainly these young people had performed in a show that would forever remain in their memory books and in their hearts.

Congratulations to all!

Marjorie Lee Inter-Lakes School Store Manager

How loud do we have to shout to be heard? No Northern Pass!

To the editor, I have opposed the Northern Pass since it was announced over two year ago. I have attended many meetings at the Statehouse. I have to say that a lot of time was wasted. I don’t know why but on some occasions the lobbyist out numbered the senators holding the hearing? The State of New Hampshire has 400 State Representatives, 24 State Senators, two U.S. Senators, two U.S. Congresswomen, a governors’ Executive Council of five, up to 30 county commissioners, It is a sad state of affairs that with 463 state officials,they can’t come up with the correct wording to get a bill passed to put a one year moratorium on the Northern Pass transmission line.

Every bill that goes before the Senate or the House seems to get voted down.

How loud do we have to shout for the

Senate and the House to hear us — NO NORTHERN PASS? This is a merchant funded, for profit transmission line that will make North East Utilities stockholders rich, not to mention N Star and PSNH. Why has the Senate and House not pursued burying the Northern Pass along state-owned rights of way?

What could N.H. do with upwards of $70 million dollars for the use of its rights of way?.

I was never into politics before the Northern Pass emerged. I have to say I got quite an education in the last two years. There is an old saying: “Behind the downfall of every big business , great country or person is poor management and poor leadership.”

Enough said.

Pesci resigns, Conklin named interim general manager of N.H. Music Festival PLYMOUTH — Brenda Conklin has been appointed interim general manager for The New Hampshire Music Festival and will serve in that capacity for the 2013 season. Former Executive Director Frank Pesci is relocating to Berlin, Germany, where his wife has accepted a position with a professional opera company.

Conklin, a longtime resident of Waterville Valley, has worked with the Festival in the past, serving five years as its general manager. She will handle management responsibilities until a permanent general manager is named later this year.

“We want to express to Mr. Pesci

the depth of our appreciation for the leadership role he has played with the Festival during these last 18 months,” said Festival Board Chair Dick Hanaway. “He came into our organization during a critical time and played an important part in stabilizing and renewing our beloved Festival. He has left his personal imprint on the New Hampshire Music Festival and will be a permanent part of our future.”

Music Director Donato Cabrera of the San Francisco Symphony will lead this year’s Festival, which begins on July 6.

BELMONT from page one ernment,” Pike said, adding he would like to see all of the meetings held upstairs in the Corner Meeting House taped.

Pike noted that it has been some months since the selectmen stopped taping their meetings, despite the fact that room is set up for it. He said there is no money in the budget for someone to run the equipment and recommended reaching out to Lakes Region Public Access for some kind of solution and advice.

According to Denise Beauchaine, the director of LRPA-TV, tradition has been for her non-profit operation to go to municipal meetings when asked but with just $86,000 budgeted for 2013, she doesn’t have the money to send someone to each meeting.

She said the way public access is supposed to work is for the individual communities to buy into the program by a fee (in Belmont it’s about $15,700 annually) and send a representative to learn how the use the equipment.

LRPA studios are a part of the Huot Technical Education Center on the Laconia High School campus.

Belmont — and the other 11 members of LRPA — is paid a franchise fee that is collected by MetroCast Cablevision from its individual subscribers. In Belmont it will be $60,700 for 2013. Some communities return a portion of that money to the station but others do not.

Beauchaine said Belknap County Commission and Convention meetsee next page

CITY OF LACONIA Public Hearings Notice Community Development Block Grant Project The Laconia City Council will hold four consecutive Public Hearings on April 22, 2013, during the regular Council Meeting which begins at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 45 Beacon Street East, Laconia, New Hampshire 03246. Community Development Block Grant funds are available to municipalities through the NH Community Development Finance Authority. Up to $500,000 annually is available on a competitive basis for economic development, up to $500,000 for public facility and housing projects, up to $350,000 in emergency activities and up to $12,000 is available per each Planning grants.

A proposed application to the Community Development Finance Authority for up to $12,000 in Planning Grant Community Development Block Grant funds for a Capital Needs Assessment for The Stafford House (aka The Tavern). The Strafford House contains 50 one bedroom and efficiency units at the corner of Main and Church Streets. All of the units are occupied by low income tenants.

2. A proposed application to the Community Development Finance Authority for up to $12,000 in Planning Grant Community Development Block Grant funds to look into relocating the Laconia Housing Authority’s central offices elsewhere in Laconia and look into converting the current office space into additional housing units. Currently, the LHA’s central offices are located on the ground floor of the Sunrise Towers senior housing project at 25 Union Ave. The study will examine potential new locations for the LHA’s offices and determine each site’s cost based on it’s condition and work items required to make each site suitable for LHA’s office.

LHA services primarily low and moderate income persons.

3. The Housing and Community Development Plan 4. The Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan.

Provisions for persons with special needs can be made by contacting the City Manager’s Office, via telephone or mail, at least five days prior to the public hearing.

INTER-LAKES from page one tion, I can’t thank Mr. Schoenbauer enough for this very thoughtful gift,” said Ormond. However, she continued, she had a series of concerns regarding the gift. Because the tickets would be distributed through the district, the trip to Fenway would be considered a school-sponsored trip. Her questions included: How would students travel to and from the ballpark? Who would monitor the students? And who would be liable for their well-being? Some of the tickets might end up in the hands of staff members who would serve as chaperons, she supposed.

“These questions would need to be answered prior to us accepting this very generous donation,” said Ormond.

Complicating the board’s situation is the cancellation of the second board meeting in April, meaning that the board wouldn’t meet again in time to accept the donation at a later date.

Board member Carol Baggaley said she wanted to ensure that the process of allocating the tickets would be fair.

“Not subject to favoritism, all kids are equal in their ability to go.”

Board member Howard Cunningham suggested, “One other alternative would be to turn the tickets into cash, and therefore support the athletic program.” However, business

administrator Trish Temperino cautioned that selling the donated tickets would be contrary to the intent of the gift, which could invalidate it. Even if the district could sell the tickets, proceeds would be treated as unanticipated revenue and deposited into the district’s general fund, she added.

“I have strong reservations to selling the tickets to make a proft,” said Baggaley. Referring to Schoenbauer and his gift, she said, “What a very nice thing for him to do.”

“It is, I just need to figure out the details,” said Ormond.

The board eventually voted unanimously to accept the gift on the condition that Ormond is able to address her concerns about the trip. Possibilities she suggested during the meeting included inviting interested high school students to enter a lottery for the tickets, allowing a certain number of staff to attend as chaperons, and offering Sandwich Central School principal Chris Hansen, who has a commercial driver’s license, a ticket in exchange for him driving a school bus to Fenway.

“It’s a very generous and appreciated gift, if we can figure out the details... it will benefit some kids,” said Cunningham.

Earleir in the meeting, Ormond told the board that there remained wide

from preceding page ings are taped by LRPA staff for a charge of $100 per meeting because, unlike the 12 member municipalities, county residents do not pay the franchise fee collected through its customer base.

She said Huot Technical Center students do not tape meetings but produce multi-media programming with the school’s equipment — not that of LRPA. In the past five years, many communities have stopped paying LRPA to broadcast its meetings, choosing instead to use the franchise fees to use as “a revenue stream.”

She said LRPA needs to “reset the button” as to sending people to tape municipal meeting because LPRA is not a newsgathering organization but is used as a complement to local mainstream media.

Of the 12 MetroCast member communities, only six — Belmont, Gilford, Laconia, Meredith, Alton and North-

wood — continue to pay a portion of what they collect in franchise fees to LRPA for broadcast of their community meetings, a move that has reduced the LRPA overall budget.

As for Belmont, there is some question from Selectboard Chair Ron Cormier — a former member of the LRPA board of directors — about whether or not the town should restart LRPA broadcasts, given their current inability of pay someone to tape the meetings.

Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin suggested reaching out to the local school district for volunteers. He also agreed with Pike that Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin should reach out to LRPA and learn what is possible.

Beauchaine confirmed yesterday that she has been communicating with Beaudin and they are working to trying to get the Belmont selectman’s meetings back on LRPA.

confusion as to a recently-enacted state law that allows districts, if so authorized by voters, to retain as much as 2.5 percent of a given year’s allocation if funds remained unspent at the end of a budget cycle. InterLakes voters granted such authority at the district meeting in March, despite confusion between the district’s lawyer and other interpreters of the law about whether that fund would be capped at 2.5 percent of a given year’s allocation, or if it could accumulate, year over year, to not exceed 10 percent of the current year’s allocation.

The state’s Department of Revenue Administration hasn’t helped clear the air, said Ormond.

“Our auditors have continued to say yes you can (grow the fund); our lawyers have continued to say no you can’t; DRA continues to say, you better just keep it at 2.5 percent because it’s going to be tested in the courts.” She advised, “My recommendation to the board is, we follow DRA’s wisdom... and we’re very careful with how we move forward.”

Cunningham noted that the board could, if it felt necessary, adopt a policy restricting the district’s fund

to no more than 2.5 percent of a given year’s allocation. “What we want to do is avoid a public relations problem because of what’s going on in Concord,” he said.

One thing that is clearly growing at Inter-Lakes High School is the spring track and field team. With 71 students who signed up for the sport this spring, Ormond presented to the board a request from Athletic Director Jeff Cloos to allocate an additional $2,710 to the squad, funds which would allow for two additional coaches for that team.

The proposal won’t cost taxpayers additional funds, however, because the dollars will be diverted from the stipends that would have been paid to junior varsity baseball coaches. Cloos, in his request, said that only 15 students signed up for baseball this year, all of whom will play on the varsity squad. Ormond said the baseball program is growing, however, and she and Cloos hope to have enough players next year for both a varsity and junior varsity team. The board approved the request.

“I see this as a practical solution.

It’s putting our dollars where are kids are,” said Cunningham.

SANBORNTON from page one ment heads.

Speaking on behalf of the Fire Department, Chief Paul Dexter said he would like to add $10,000 more for per diem firefighters to the daytime response team. He said he stayed within the parameters of the 2 1/2 percent increase but shifted some of his resources from preventive maintenance to additional firefighter-EMT hours during the week.

Including himself, Dexter said he currently has three people in the station on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays and two in the station Thursday, Friday and Saturday. His goal is to add one person to daytime shifts for each weekday.

He said the third firefighter can perform much of the preventative maintenance that he now sends out to repair shops and well as freeing him to be the incident commander for a call.

He also said an additional person on those two shifts would allow a better response to motor vehicle accidents because he would be able to send an ambulance and an engine. As it stands now, on the two-person days both he and the firefighter take the engine because it has the extrication device and they often call mutual aid for the actual transfer to the hospital.

Budget Committee member Jeff Jenkins said this year was not the year to expand any department.

“It’s a growth to manpower,” he said expressing his objection to Dexter’s request. “You’re growing your department and I’m not comfortable until we hear from the public.”

Those who spoke to support the Fire Department request were primarily members of the department. Also supporting the request was resident Bill Whalen.

The Police Department wanted an average of an eight percent salary raise for its members.

Chief Steve Hankard said the department is running as efficiently as it ever has but he is likely loosing his senior patrol officer to a different department that has offered him

more money.

He initially asked the selectmen for an additional $10,000 but last night said he would like $19,879 more.

Hankard told the public that his problem was “nothing new” but said he has to invest about $35,000 in hiring and training a new officer and would rather spend money to retain the ones he has. He also said that if his senior officer leaves, he’ll be paid $9,000 in vacation and earned time.

All police officers in the state, he explained, go through the same accreditation. Coupled with what he said was Sanbornton’s good reputation in police circles, he said other communities are always pirating his officers, tempting them with as much as $4,000 more annually.

“If a police officer moves for less than $1,000 or $2,000 a year, then it’s more than just money,” he explained.

Speaking for the police department from the public was Sgt. Justin Howe, who is also a resident. He said the pay difference between Tilton and Sanbornton, for example, for a comparable senior patrol officer is Sanbornton’s $39,000 annually to Tilton’s $50,000 annually.

He said officers with the same amount of time earn about a $6,000 annual difference.

Hankard said he wasn’t trying to pay the same as officers in bigger departments, but only to make his department more equitable with other area departments.

Budget Committee Chair Earl Leighton said the budget was prepared with a 2 1/2 percent raise for everyone and it would not be fair to the other departments to single out one department for special treatment.

Members of the public suggested contracts to keep officers in place or conditional money for longevity but Hankard said he didn’t think it was legal to do that.

Budget Committee member Judy Burlingame said Hankard’s revised request should also go back before the selectmen for reconsideration.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 10, 2013 — Page 9

VERDICT from page 2 Jessica Grant, the state’s lead lawyer, said it was the largest verdict ever in an MTBE case, though a financial analyst noted that the award represents about two days’ worth of profit for the company.

Jurors found that Exxon Mobil was negligent in adding MTBE to its gasoline and that it was a defective product. They also found Exxon Mobil liable for failing to warn distributors and consumers about its contaminating characteristics.

The jury determined that the hazards of using MTBE gasoline were not obvious to state officials, who opted into the reformulated gasoline program in 1991 to help reduce smog in the state’s four southernmost counties.

Jurors also rejected Exxon Mobil’s defense that more than 300 junkyard and gas station owners not named in the lawsuit were responsible for much of the contamination. They also absolved the state of responsibility for the contamination.

The jury found damages in the amount of $816 million, but that award was reduced to 28.9 percent of the total — reflecting Exxon’s market share of gasoline sold in the state between 1988 and 2005.

Lawyers for Exxon Mobil argued the company used MTBE to meet federal Clean Air Act mandates to reduce air pollution and should not be held liable for sites contaminated by other retail businesses.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified MTBE as a “possible human carcinogen.” New Hampshire banned its use in 2007.

The state says more than 600 wells in New Hampshire are known to be contaminated with MTBE and an expert witness estimated the number could exceed 5,000.

Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil was the sole remaining defendant of the 26 the state sued in 2003. Citgo was a co-defendant when the trial began in January, but it began settlement negotiations with the state and withdrew

from the trial. Citgo ultimately settled for $16 million, bringing the total the state has collected in MTBE settlement money to $136 million.

Fadel Gheit, managing director of oil and gas research and a senior analyst at Oppenheimer & Co., said the verdict won’t put a dent in Exxon Mobil’s bottom line.

“Exxon will probably make close to a $40 billion profit this year, Gheit said.

“That’s (the award) two days’ work.”

He said it’s no surprise that Exxon Mobil would take the 10-year-old lawsuit to trial, saying the company “will make you sweat for every dollar you think you’re going to get.” Company leaders view it as a matter of principle, he said.

“Exxon is the only company I know of that will fight to the last minute,” Gheit said. “I understand their mentality. Everybody thinks they can milk this cow.”

The trial was the longest state trial in New Hampshire history and the verdict the largest jury verdict in state history, eclipsing the $21.6 million awarded in 2010 in a drug products liability case.

Jurors had more than 400 exhibits to sift through, including memos and reports dating back decades. Those memos included some dating back to 1984 in which Exxon Mobil researchers warned against using MTBE gasoline because of the extensive harm it can do to groundwater.

Grant, the attorney representing the state, said it was pleased the jury held Exxon Mobil accountable for widespread groundwater contamination.

“The finding of Exxon’s negligence is particularly important because it shows the jury understood that this problem could have been avoided,” she said.

Attorney Matt Pawa of the Pawa Law Group in Boston, who has been involved in the case from the start and brought in the Sher Leff firm, said perserverence paid off.

“When you seek justice against one of the world’s biggest corporations, you have to stick it out for the long haul.”

UConn women give Geno an 8th NCAA crown NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Geno Auriemma and Connecticut are back on top. With freshman Breanna Stewart leading the way, it might be a while before they give it up, too.

Stewart scored 18 of her 23 points in a dazzling first half and Connecticut won its eighth national championship with a 93-60 rout of Louisville on Tuesday night. It was the most lopsided victory in a title game, and it put the Huskies back atop college basketball after missing the title game the past two years.

The title tied Auriemma and the Huskies (35-4) with Pat Summitt and Tennessee for the most in women’s basketball history.

“The fact that I tied Pat Summitt’s record puts you in the category of the greatest women’s basketball coach that ever lived,” Auriemma said. “I’m just thrilled for our seniors. This team accomplished an amazing feat this last month.”

It might not take long for Auriemma to pass Summitt, not with the way Stewart and the rest of his Huskies played. His prized freshman was unstoppable, hitting shots from everywhere on the court to earn Most Outstanding Player honors for the Final Four. She’s only the fourth freshman ever to have that honor and first since 1987. Even her father in the stands repeatedly said “wow” as his daughter took the game over and Cardinals men’s coach Rick Pitino, in town to cheer on the Louisville women, called her one of the best freshman in basketball.

“This is unbelievable,” Stewart said. “This is what we’ve thought about since the beginning of the season. And now to be here and actually win it, it’s a great feeling and I don’t think it’s going to set in for a while. I just played really confident and stopped thinking. When I second-guess myself, nothing good comes out of that.”

After Auriemma cut down the final strand of the net, his team carried him around the court in celebration.

The loss ended an unprecedented tournament run

by Louisville. The Cardinals became the first No. 5

seed to make the championship game, pulling off the greatest upset in tournament history when they beat Brittney Griner and Baylor in the regional semifinals.

Jeff Walz’s team then beat Tennessee in the regional final before topping Cal in the Final Four.

The Cardinals just didn’t have enough to beat their Big East foe. Louisville was trying to become just the second school to win both the men’s and women’s championship in the same season and the first since UConn in 2004. Pitino, fresh off his team’s 82-76 win in the title game over Michigan on Monday night, was sitting behind the Cardinals bench, trying to spur on the women’s team. He talked to the players at their pregame meal and told them to just enjoy the moment and have fun in the game.

It wasn’t to be. Instead, the trip to the Big Easy marked the beginning of the Stewart era.

The heralded freshman had one of the most remarkable runs of any first year player in the history of the NCAA tournament. She finished with 105 points in only five games -- she missed the first round rout of Idaho to rest a sore calf -- the most by any first-year player since 2000, according to STATS. UConn’s Maya Moore held the previous mark with 93 points.

The 6-foot-4 star passed Moore with a neat tip-in with 7:04 left in the first half and wound up with a performance reminiscent of two of the all-time greats. As freshmen, Cheryl Miller guided USC to a title in 1983 and Chamique Holdsclaw led Tennessee to a championship in 1996.

Stewart scored seven points during the pivotal 19-0 run that turned a four-point deficit into a double-digit lead and put the Cardinals in a hole they couldn’t climb out of.

Stewart later swooped in for an incredible offensive rebound that she put back to make it 39-23.

The Huskies led 48-29 at the half as Stewart had 18 points; the 19-point advantage fell four points short of the championship record set by Tennessee against Louisiana Tech in 1998.

IMMIGRATION from page 2 into next week.

Senators in the immigration group met Tuesday with Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who agreed to hold a hearing April 17 on the legislation, Senate aides said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deliberations were confidential.

That’s something Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has been calling for in response to pressure from conservatives who argue the bill is being pushed too fast without enough time for debate. Given Judiciary Committee procedures that allow Republicans to

push for extra time to review legislation, the committee could begin to vote on and amend the bill the week of May 6, an aide said.

“The Judiciary Committee must have plenty of time to debate and improve the bipartisan group’s proposal, so it’s good that senators and the public will have weeks to study this proposal,” Rubio spokesman Alex Conant said.

At least 50 percent and as much as 70 percent or 80 percent of the nation’s approximately 2 million farm workers are here illegally, according to labor and industry estimates.

East Coast Rhythm Aces at Pitman’s on Friday

LACONIA — Guitarist, songwriter Lloyd Jones will head up the East Cast Rhythm Aces in a show Friday at 8 p.m. at Pitman’s Freight Room on New Salem Street.

OBITUARIES

Jean A. Clark, 82 MEREDITH — Jean A. Clark, 82, of Meredith passed away on April 7, 2013 after fighting a brief illness. Jean was born to Joseph and Mary (Cincotta) Sabato on September 25, 1930 in Watertown, Massachusetts where she was raised and attended school. She met a young accountant named Gilbert R. Clark while working for Lewando’s Dry Cleaners in Watertown in 1956 and they were married on September 28, 1957.

Jean and Gilbert moved to Laconia in 1962 with their three children where Gilbert worked for the Structural Concrete Company as an accountant. A short while later they opened their own accounting business in Meredith, Gilbert R. Clark, CPA, PA. Jean worked alongside Gilbert managing the office.

Jean and Gilbert eventually moved to Meredith in 1981, where they built their dream home. Jean belonged to the Meredith Altrusa Club and was a very active member of her church, St. Charles Borromeo in Meredith.

Jean is survived by her daughter Maribeth Ryan and grandchildren Kim Ryan and Jeff Ryan of Meredith, NH, her two sons, Russell Clark of San Francisco, CA and Christopher Clark of Dover, NH, sister

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

style is changing. The in-between times when you know you can’t stay where you are but you don’t yet know where to go are the most awkward. They’re also the most exciting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s nice when you get recognized by someone you admire even if that recognition comes in the form of a simple greeting. Such a greeting may bring you back to that schoolgirl/schoolboy crush kind of feeling today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). They won’t understand you -- and so what? Thankfully, the rules that govern your self-esteem do not mandate that you must be understood at all times.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 10). You are passionate, creative and committed to what you believe in. These qualities lead you to surprising connections, and you’ll get to see parts of the world that few people have witnessed. June features strange occurrences that will go down in your personal history. In August, you’ll shine in a public forum. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 33, 25 and 13.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you want the work to go quickly, it seems to thicken on purpose, requiring that you trudge through it. Once the work sees that you’re willing to slog it out, it will take pity on you and let up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll get an interesting quality of attention as you present yourself in a way that is slightly different from what you would normally choose. This is only the beginning of your next evolution.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be challenged to articulate your needs and wants in a way that someone very different from you can understand. It won’t be easy, but if anyone can do it, Gemini, the sign of communication, can.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The best thing you could do in a tense situation is relax. Others will breathe easier when they sense that you are doing the same. If you can’t relax, at least smile, take normal breaths and pretend that you’re relaxed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your intellectual gifts will be featured, and you’ll stretch your broad mind into the areas that you’ve been curious about lately. New information, books and teachers will all be available to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are trustworthy, loyal and resourceful. You know this about yourself and take it for granted. You may even consider these strengths to be boring. But they are not -- not in the spunky way you present them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You cannot empower another person, because it’s really up to him or her to step into the position. You can, however, provide a smooth ramp to the power spot or, better yet, a ramp covered with a red carpet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People will try to connect with you by throwing out interesting things for you to latch on to. But the lures don’t have the right bait on them, or you’re not hungry enough, or you’re not in the mood to be reeled in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It may feel as though you have to be someone else in order to plug into a certain scene. If only you were free to express your unique perspective. Wait! You are!

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, April 10, the 100th day of 2013. There are 265 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 10, 1963, the fast-attack nuclear submarine USS Thresher (SSN-593) sank during deep-diving tests east of Cape Cod, Mass., in a disaster that claimed 129 lives.

On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed into law the first United States Patent Act. In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated.

In 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage.

In 1925, the novel “The Great Gatsby,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was first published.

In 1932, German president Paul Von Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second.

In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers president Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals.

In 1953, the 3-dimensional horror movie “House of Wax,” produced by Warner Bros. and starring Vincent Price, premiered in New York.

In 1957, Egypt reopened the Suez Canal to all shipping traffic. (The canal had been closed due to wreckage resulting from the Suez Crisis.)

In 1962, United States Steel Chairman Roger Blough informed President John F. Kennedy of his company’s decision to raise steel prices an average of $6 a ton. (Under administration pressure, Blough changed his mind.)

In 1974, Golda Meir told party leaders she was resigning as prime minister of Israel.

In 1998, the Northern Ireland peace talks concluded as negotiators reached a landmark settlement to end 30 years of bitter rivalries and bloody attacks.

In 2010, Polish President Lech Kaczynski, 60, was killed in a plane crash in western Russia that also claimed the lives of his wife and top Polish political, military and church officials.

Ten years ago: Iraqi television aired videotaped greetings from President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Congress overwhelmingly passed a package of child safety protections, including a national Amber Alert network. A fire in a boarding school for the deaf in southern Russia killed 28 children. Eva Narcissus Boyd, the singer formerly known as “Little Eva,” died in Kinston, N.C. Five years ago: The U.S. Board on Geographic Names officially renamed Squaw Peak in Phoenix Piestewa (py-ES’-tuh-wah) Peak, in honor of Army Spc. Lori Piestewa, who was killed in Iraq in 2003 and posthumously promoted from the rank of Private First Class. Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, suspected of killing a pregnant colleague, was arrested in Tacambaro, Mexico; Laurean was later sentenced to life in prison for murdering Marine Lance Cpl.

One year ago: Rick Santorum quit the presidential race, clearing the way for Mitt Romney to claim the Republican nomination. Syrian troops defied a U.N.-brokered cease-fire plan, launching fresh attacks on rebellious areas.

Gilgamesh is the great epic of ancient Mesopotamia, one of the oldest works in western literature, contemporary with the oldest parts of the Bible. It is the story of a legendary king who achieves heroic victories with the help of the wild man Enkidu. The Gilgamesh epic, written over four thousand years ago in ancient cuneiform script, was found on broken tablets in what is today Iraq – where the cradle of civilization is believed to have developed between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers.

Lockwood brings the story of Gilgamesh and Enkidu to life as these two discover each other, leave on a great adventure to battle the monstrous giant Huwawa, where they will face Ishtar and death, and travel to see Utnapishtin (Noah) to find the answer

to why we die. Gilgamesh will return to Uruk and write the story that will make him immortal.

Lockwood is a poet, teacher, and storyteller who specializes in the epics: The Epic of Gilgamesh, Homer’s Odyssey, and Beowulf. These are tales of heroic struggle and selfdiscovery. He studied the classics and anthropology at Boston University and the UK’s Cambridge,University, then developed his unique storytelling style doing improv readings in Boston and New York.

Lockwood will answer questions from the audience after the Gilgamesh tale. As always, Wolfeboro Public Library’s programs are open to all and free of charge, thanks in part to the support of the NH Humanities Council and its grants.

Page 24 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 10, 2013

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Dennis” for eight years. Early on, Dennis couldn’t do enough for me. Now, if my car won’t start, he yells at me and says to call a tow truck.

If I ask him to spend time with me, he always has other things to do. On the rare occasion when we attend a social event together, he abandons me so he can “work the room” and have a great time with everyone else. We arrive together and leave together, and the rest of the time, I sit alone, miserable and forgotten.

Dennis will go above and beyond for others. It doesn’t matter if it’s the middle of the night, raining, snowing, spending money we don’t have, missing meals, birthdays, holidays and our daughter’s school programs. If it’s a chance to make himself look good, he’s there with a smile and compassion. I get the repairman to take care of me with a handshake and a bill. But when I ask Dennis to treat his family with the same enthusiasm, he calls me a selfish nag.

Yes, I resent all the people he helps, because they get the side of my husband that belongs to me. I’m told to take care of myself because he’s too busy helping others and inflating his ego. I get whatever is leftover. I love Dennis, but I’m starting to feel that he only gave me his adoration and helpfulness because he was trying to win my heart. How do I deal with this? -- Wife of the Plumber with Leaky Pipes at Home Dear Wife: Some people put on a good show for others, but at home, they let down the facade. We recommend counseling, preferably with Dennis, but without him if necessary.

We also suggest you stop relying on your husband to provide your social life. Instead of sitting “miserable and forgotten,” develop your conversational skills. Get involved in some local activities that interest you so you are less dependent on Dennis’s availability. You need to take better care of yourself.

Dear Annie: I am a retired schoolteacher and would like to request that you stop recommending that high school students see their guidance counselors for any problems other than recommended course requirements for graduation.

While it may be widely thought that they are there for guidance on many personal issues, most of them, in my experience, are the last person I would recommend a student speak to about family or emotional issues. This may sound harsh, but they are not compassionate and caring individuals.

Perhaps they are in elementary and middle schools, but not in high schools. Their time is taken up with increasing state requirements for graduation and dealing with failing students who need course recovery classes. Their general attitude is that they have no time for anything else. -- Retired Teacher Dear Teacher: We know that high school guidance counselors are primarily there to help students navigate their future academic lives. But we are certain most would take issue with your comment that they are not compassionate and caring.

Perhaps that was the case in your school, but there are many students whose lives have been changed by kind and concerned guidance counselors who understand that a student’s personal life can interfere with his or her academic success.

Dear Annie: Please tell “Still Healing” that it is imperative she inform her stepbrother’s wife about the painful sexual abuse she suffered at his hands.

My granddaughters have been through hell because their father sexually abused them. It might have been averted if his half-sister had reported the earlier sexual abuse and rape.

When she learned what he had done to his daughters, she finally came forward, but it was too late. Thankfully, he is in prison now, and the girls are getting counseling, but they will suffer for many years. -- Sad Grandmother
