One of the state’s best high school long distance runners, Laconia High School junior Samantha Hicks competes against the boys during the mile run at a 3-school track and field meet at Smith Track in Opechee Park on Tuesday.

Boys and girls teams from Pembroke Academy and Plymouth Regional joined the host teams for the early season meet. Hicks ran in the boys race to give her a sterner test, finishing fourth in a time of 5 minutes, 34 seconds. The time was about a half-minute off her best of last year but was still more than a minute faster than the winner posted in the girls’ race over the same distance.

Natural gas below $2 for first time in a decade

NEW YORK (AP) — The price of natural gas has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade, a remarkable decline for a commodity that not long ago was believed to be in short supply.

The country’s supply of natural gas is growing so fast that analysts worry the country’s underground storage facilities could be full by fall and lead to further price declines.

On Wednesday, the futures price of natural gas fell to $1.984 per 1,000 cubic feet, its lowest level since January 28, 2002, when the price hit $1.91. If the price slides to $1.75, it would be the lowest since March 23, 1999.

Natural gas production has boomed across the country as energy companies employ new drilling techniques to tap previously untouched reserves. The process has raised concerns about water safety, and has been temporarily banned in New York and New Jersey. But where it has been allowed, it has led to increases in drilling, job growth and production.

Zimmerman charged with 2nd-degree murder JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The neighborhood watch volunteer who shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was arrested and charged with second-degree murder Wednesday after weeks of mounting tensions and protests across the U.S. George Zimmerman, 28, could get up to life in prison if convicted in the slaying of the unarmed black teenager.

Special prosecutor Angela Corey announced the charges but would not discuss how she arrived at them or disclose other details of her investigation, saying:

“That’s why we try cases in a courtroom.”

Second-degree murder is typically brought in cases when there is a fight or other confrontation that results in death but involves no premeditation to kill. It carries a mandatory minimum of 25 years behind bars when a gun is used.

Martin’s parents expressed relief over the decision to prosecute their son’s killer.

“The question I would really like to ask him is, if he could look into Trayvon’s eyes and see how innocent he was, would he have then pulled the trigger? Or would

he have just let him go on home?” said his father, Tracy Martin.

Corey would not disclose Zimmerman’s whereabouts for his safety but said that he will be in court within 24 hours, at which point he can request bail. He turned himself in in Florida.

Zimmerman’s new attorney, Mark O’Mara, said Zimmerman will plead not guilty and will invoke Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which gives people wide leeway to use deadly force without having see ZIMMERMAN page 8

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors on Wednesday all but forgot the previous day’s burdens and sent stocks soaring.

It was a stark turnaround from the day before, when they’d pushed the market into a free-fall on worries about European debt and corporate earnings in the U.S. Those fears about problems festering on both sides of the Atlantic were calmed thanks to a surprising profit from Alcoa

and news that borrowing costs in Spain had edged down, a potential sign that investors have more faith — for now, anyway — in that country’s financial health.

The result was a U-turn on Wall Street.

The Dow Jones industrial average climbed as much as 129 points in early trading before settling at 12,805.39, up 89.46 points. The previous day, it had lost 214 points, the cap to its biggest and longest

losing streak this year.

European markets rose, too. Stocks climbed roughly 1 percent in major capitals, excluding Greece, after losing 2 to 3 percent the day before. Treasury prices fell, signaling that investors are more willing to put money in stocks.

Other U.S. indexes also erased much of the previous day’s losses. The Standard see STOCKS page 12

CONCORD (AP) — Four months after the same bill died on the House floor, New Hampshire’s Senate voted Wednesday to effectively kill a bill that would limit unions’ ability to collect fees from nonunion workers.

The Republican-controlled Senate voted

without debate to table a bill passed by the House similar to one Democratic Gov. John Lynch vetoed last year. The House, also controlled by Republicans, failed to override the veto in November, but brought the issue back this year.

Senate President Peter Bragdon said

the intent is to leave the bill on the table, which means it will die at the end of the session. Bragdon said the votes are not there to override an expected veto and the Senate decided to put its efforts into bills that would help create jobs. see RIGHT TO WORK page 10

Froma Harrop

Why good factory jobs go begging Animal rescue once sent me a fabulous mutt. She was usually obedient and heartbreaking in eagerness to please. But I couldn’t get her into the basement. I’d go down the stairs waving an entire bag of treats. With a pained look of indecision, she would not follow. During an earlier life, clearly, bad things had happened to her in a cellar.

We humans are animals. Whether a CEO or factory hand, we respond to rewards and punishments. In recent decades, our economy has piled rewards on executives and punishments on ordinary workers.

If a CEO says, “I won’t get out of bed for less than $5-million a year,” his defenders argue that you must pay large amounts to attract such prodigious talent. If a laid-off factory worker says, “I’m not giving up my unemployment check for a modestly higher pay stub,” his detractors don’t say, “Offer him more money.”

They say, “Government benefits have made him lazy.” Recent stories of U.S. factories unable to fill openings have fed such negative views.

This is not to suggest that extended unemployment benefits don’t sometimes deter people from accepting work. They may have other means of support or free places to live, or are learning a new trade. And don’t dismiss their possible bitterness at an economic system that seems rigged against hardworking blue-collar folks.

Let’s pose some questions, however, about the rewards and punishments that are shaping these idle workers’ decisions.

Imagine you are jobless in La Crosse, Wis., and hear of good manufacturing opportunities in Cleveland. Are you going to uproot your family and move 600 miles to work in an industry that four years ago was laying off tens of thousands?

Or, laid off in Indianapolis, you are now studying to be a nurse. A factory across town has started hiring and is paying higher wages than a hospital would. Are you going to pass on the high-demand profession of nursing to rejoin an industry that experience tells you

does not offer secure employment?

Long before the economic meltdown, many Americans harbored prejudices against manufacturing.

They’d rather sit in a cubicle for eight hours than work with their hands at better pay. Grandpa may have told them tales of toiling in the dirty and dangerous factories of yore.

But even those who know the cleaned-up truth of modern manufacturing may not qualify for modern manufacturing jobs. Such operations are computer-based and so need a higher order of skills than before.

“An auto mechanic 35 years ago could learn to fix carburetors by watching others,” MIT economist Frank Levy told me. “There was no extreme pressure to read and write.

Once you move to computerized fuel injection, you have to read manuals.” Diagnosing these systems requires more abstract thinking.

When some car dealerships embarked on forced retraining, Levy added, about a third of the workers failed. Many had been good mechanics, but they couldn’t read.

Needless to say, this is one heck of a time to cut funding for federal training programs. There are now 6-million more Americans looking for work than there were in 2006, and 18-percent less federal money for retraining them.

What does education have to do with rewards and punishments?

Spending public money on training (even just reading and writing) is part of a positive message for workers — that America wants to invest in them. It wants them to experience the rewards of higher pay.

The punishment route would be to end unemployment benefits and, while you’re at it, lower the minimum wage. Cry class warfare, if you must, but blue-collar workers also need reasons to get out of bed.

LETTERS Be careful if you decide to play the guilt by association card To the editor, It’s been a while since my last letter because I’ve been busy with family matters. But some interesting things have been written in this paper in that time that I feel I should comment on.

First on my list is the comment that the “liberals” have a mean streak, made by the local radio show host Niel Young.

Perhaps Mr. Young is so busy with his radio show that he missed these gems from the “right”: Teachers are evil, (not mistaken, or ineffectual, but evil); liberals hate the wealthy and Christians (those poor Kennedys probably just can’t figure out why they should hate themselves). Mr. Young goes on to comment about some poor soul with obvious mental problems and his association with the “occupy” folks. If Mr. Young wants to play guilt by association I would like to talk about a mayor from Waterbury, CT., a Republican. Seems this mayor wasn’t satisfied with sex in his office with his personal prostitute, so he had her bring in her two daughters, both under 13 years old. He then habitually molested them. He is now where he belongs and we can only hope he is being “reformed”. Now I bring this up only to point out to Mr. Young that he should be more careful if he is going to play the guilt by association card, lest it back fire on him.

James Viverka’s excellent letters seem to have Steve Earle in a tizzy. Now Mr. Earle claims he is a moderate, and if he means that he is an extreme right wing extremest moderate, maybe I could believe him. And to folks like Bernasdette Loesch who are put out by his letters because they make no sense and have no relation to anything factual, perhaps it will comfort them to know Mr Earle does not believe The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had anything to do with the civil rights laws put into effect by our government, (L.B.J. must have felt differently as M.L.K. was seated directly behind the president while he signed those laws into effect).

Awhile back Mr. Earle bemoaned the fact that liberals were unfairly holding the Fox (alleged) News channel to their slogan of being “Fair And Balanced”.

That certainly must be a poser for him, why would anyone hold a company to their own slogan, I wonder? Now we have Mr. Earle attempting to re-write

countless others have focused on the Nazi’s calling themselves socialists. And of course they lump them in with the Soviets and the Chinese. Hitlers main objective was not solely to loot the treasuries of any other nation, he had his sights set on world domination and lo and behold, to rid the world of communism. Hitler called his party the Nazi’s because he had used the socialist’s of that time in Germany to get to power. It may come as a great surprise to many Republicans, but, he was lying!

Mr. Earle and all the others are certainly welcome to their opinions, and this world would be a much worse place if they were not allowed to voice them, I know I for one would have fewer belly laughs if they stopped writing their wonderfully comical letters.

It may come as a shock to some of you, but I agree with John Walker about the tone of the letters in this wonderful paper, I too don’t appreciate the name calling from either side. But awhile back Pat Buchanan was on MSNBC and said something to the effect that it was funny to think that you could have a “civil” conversation in New Hampshire. After having read the letters in this paper for a few years I had to sadly agree with him. I also have some degree of agreement with David M. Zebuhr about doing away with the status-quo, relating to the way our government is being run, but he forgets that they both have a stronghold and aren’t going to give it up easily. We the people would have to put together a third party that could unseat the established parties and begin to have a government that is truly for “the common welfare” of all it’s citizens.

And one last comment to Neil Young: My grandparents came and stayed here legally, I don’t need to hear how hard it is from anyone else. Now let’s see who’s for illegal immigrants.

Republicans are always saying that they are for the small businesses in this country; I lived out west, and saw illegals working for small businesses every day. I don’t claim to know what to do with illegal immigrants, but forcing small businesses to hire only properly documented workers, and severe penalties if they don’t, might be a step in the right direction.

We are losing PR battle to a freedom-sucking socialist agenda To the editor, Apologists for President Obama’s energy policies in the letters to The Sun are at best ill informed worshipers and at worst amateur propagandists. Either way, they are propagating the statist mantra that capitalism is inherently bad and responsibility for rising gas prices can’t possibly have anything to to with this administration’s policies. Also, that the encroachment of government into our lives is the way to prosperity. Liberal, socialist ideology has inculcated itself into popular, public opinion. Tis time for a reality check, if you please.

Deep water oil drilling is a result of government intrusion. President Obama continued the moratorium on oil drilling in the Gulf even though his own hand picked advisory panel recommended just the opposite. Oil rig companies don’t wax nostalgic as their rigs collect rust. They move elsewhere. Our president continues to put the kibosh on oil drilling while misleading the public into believing he is responsible for an increase in oil drilling. Under his watch, it has decreased on federal lands. He has given two billion of our federal dollars to the Brazilian oil company, Petrobas while promising that the United States will be a reliable customer. Then, President Obama feigns compassion for oil by promising to accelerate construction of the “southern half of the Keystone XL pipeline”.

Obama’s energy policy message to the powerful and persuasive environmental movement is Semper Fidelis — always faithful. His relationship with this movement is mercenary, incestuous and self-serving. Despite green technology companies folding faster and faster even with substantial subsidies, our president continues to waste tax payer monies on them in a scandalous example of crony capitalism that those on the left love to rail on about.

The average price of gasoline in January 2009 was $1.84. Today, the national average is $3.94 and climbing. The repeated quantitative easing

of our currency, a misnomer if ever there was one, is devaluing our dollar, which makes gas and oil more expensive. This inflationary measure is affecting all goods and services. It is one reason why this recovery is taking much longer than it should, thanks to our government’s shenanigans. Entrepreneurial, capitalist technology has vastly expanded energy reserves which would not have happened under a dictatorial, socialist regime which seems to be President Obama’s utopian dream. Even if becoming more energy independent through expansion of our oil and natural gas reserves doesn’t bring the price down to previous levels, shouldn’t we do it just so we can stop purchasing oil from tyrannical countries abroad?

Modern day liberalism is the antithesis of classical liberalism. It brandishes hope and change, cleverly cloaked in the cutesy sounding phrases of social justice, fairness and redistribution of wealth. It hasn’t worked in Europe. The Pilgrims almost starved to death, actually some did, while implementing a fairness agenda which created a culture of laziness and irresponsibility. They learned their lesson and thrived with a novel version of free enterprise.

While Canada and Australia understand that capitalism is far superior to socialism in all its forms in creating wealth and providing a better life for the lower classes, we are heading in the wrong direction. We are losing in the arena of public opinion to a freedom-sucking socialist agenda which has most of the elitists, most of Hollywood and the vast majority of the media on it’s side. The left is attempting to distract us, marginalize us, make it personal and polarize us. It is up to us to again turn the tide of public discourse though the odds are long and the days grow short. If we remain silent in the face of this adversity, then Pogo will be right, “We have met the enemy and he is us”.

Russ Wiles Tilton

may be the best in the world, but our health care financing is the worst, providing the worst outcomes for the most money.

Taxes — Our system of personal income taxes is outrageously complicated and, worse, unfair. Many other countries collect their revenue in much fairer and simpler ways. This means a Value Added Tax. Our corporate tax system is even worse, and should be abolished outright since it collects dollars almost capriciously and it is impossible to know for sure whose pockets the dollars are coming from.

Guns — Too many weapons in too many hands in too many places.

I don’t think there is anything shameful in looking at how other societies approach their social issues. We might even learn something.

In America, we do so many things wrong that others do right To the editor, I believe in American exceptionalism. America is unique. Unfortunately, it is unique in that we do so many things wrong that other countries do right. Examples follow.

Government — Through our twisted legislative process, a united but distinct minority can paralyze government. Our campaign process ensures that the rich and powerful, both corporations and individuals, have influence far beyond that of ordinary citizens.

Education — College costs students too much, requiring many to become saddled with debt that will be with them their entire lives. An amazing number of current retirees still have student loans outstanding. Other worthy people find they cannot attend at all.

To the editor, The Main Street Initiative of Laconia, Inc. would like to thank everyone who participated in and came to enjoy the fun of the Dancing with the Community Stars event on March 31’t. It was a wonderful event providing some exciting dancing and a great deal of fun and enthusiasm for the crowd and all of the participants. Specifically, we would like to extend our thanks to the custodial staff at the Laconia Middle School, who were efficient, courteous, and extremely helpful. Secondly, we would like to thank the dance studios and their directors: Artfest-Erin Lovett Sherman and Oriana Filiault, Stages Dance Academy-Erica Gilbert, Broadway North-Robin Barnes, Frates Creative Arts Center-Amber Greenlaw, and Starry Night Dance Studio-Paul Langley, along with the people who danced: Myles Chase, Ray Feola, Liana Gilbert, Janice Jenkett, Evan Kreitzer, Bill McLane, and Gudron Stanton.

Without their commitment and enthusiasm, there would be no dancing, and we thank them all very much!

We also want to thank the Laconia High School Cheerleaders and the children from the Community Center for the great additional entertainment they provided. There is excitement — and then there is excitement — and the cheerleaders provided that to the utmost degree. The special flavor of the children’s dancing added to the community character of the whole evening. We also want to thank the following: Pat Kelly and Larry Frates for their wonderful job of announcing the event, Ed Darling for his support with the sound system, Ian Jameson, Melissa McCarthy, and Drew Seneca, our three fantastic judges, Diane

Cooper and Ana Gourley, two dancers from last year whose enthusiasm and excitement helped all of us have a wonderful time, Shelly Batchelder, whose decorations added a really nice ambiance to the entire event, and Gail Beane for the posters and tickets.

We would also like to thank All My Life Jewelers, Greenlaw’s Music, and all of the dance studios for selling tickets, Sunflower Natural Foods and Ana Gourlay for selling tickets and for the gifts presented to all of the dancers, Prescott Florists for the flowers, Engraving & Awards for the award trophies, the Belknap Mill and Pheasant Ridge Country Club for the pencils, the Galleria Salon & Day Spa, Greenlaw’s Music, Hackett & Hill Jewelers, Melcher & Prescott Insurance, My Coffee House, Nassau Broadcasting, Summit Health, the local newspapers, The Citizen, The Daily Sun, and The Weirs Times, and radio stations, WEMJ and WLNH for helping publicize this event, and Dan Darling and Taylor Rental for their efforts in getting the dance floor. We would also like to especially thank all those who helped put this event together — Warren Clement, Bob Harrington, Dave Greenlaw, Jack Batchelder, John Moriarty, Randy Bullerwell, Sue Bullerwell, Charlie Bullerwell, Ana Gourlay and Diane Cooper.

This was a wonderful event that provides absolute certain evidence that this community is an exciting and wonderful place to be. Thanks to everyone for all that you did, and we look forward to next year and another exciting session of Dancing with the Community Stars!

Patrick H. Wood, President Main Street Initiative of Laconia, Inc.

Let’s get Gilmanton together to fix ball field in back of school To the editor, This is a subject that has been kicked around for quite some time at our Gilmanton School. I can remember the discussion several years ago.

The ball field in the back of the school is in real rough shape. I would think that this is something that this community could rally around and do something together in service and be proud of the results. I would find it amazing if we could not gather together volunteers and materials for a day of hard work to do this as a com-

munity. What would it take, really? We could have a group of us donating food items to keep the workers happy, with a bit of organization and determination we could do a really good thing!

What do you think? I know the PTA will be having discussions around this topic, we just need to get a bit of planning and organization underway and this could be achieved – this year.

What do you say Gilmanton?

Defense rests; Durgin manslaughter trial expected to go to jury today

BY MIKE MORTENSEN CONCORD MONITOR

LACONIA – Leo LaPierre was gasping for breath and had a badly bruised face when he was discovered in the front yard of a house trailer at 399 South Main St., according to a defense witness who testified Wednesday about finding the seriously injured homeless man shortly before 11 a.m. on May 3, 2011.

Robert Polito of Laconia was called to the stand as a defense witness in the manslaughter trial of Jason Durgin, who is charged with causing LaPierre’s eventual death.

Durgin’s attorney’s finished presenting his defense later in the day and closing arguments are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. today.

“He was gurgling … He was gasping for air. He was puffy. His eyes were black and blue,” the 44-year-old Polito said under questioning by defense attorney Wade Harwood in Belknap County Superior Court in the closing day of testimony.

Polito said that he went to Durgin’s trailer around 10:30 a.m., knocked on the door and woke up Durgin.

Once inside he saw Durgin and Tracy Hebert, who was one of the trailer’s other occupants. Hebert had also been Polito’s girlfriend, but the couple had broken up some months before May 2011, he said.

Polito said shortly after going into the trailer he went to the front door and opened it because an odor inside the residence was bothering him. It was then that he saw LaPierre lying on the ground in the small front yard; roughly 12 hours after prosecutors allege that Durgin punched the drunken LaPierre, knocking him to the floor of the trailer, and then kicking him in the head before having him thrown out of the dwelling.

LaPierre died from his injuries on May 10, 2011, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center where he had undergone emergency brain surgery.

“I rolled him over. He was gurgling and so I rolled him back over,” Polito said as the jury of eight women and five men listened to the fifth day of testimony. Polito then said he yelled, “Somebody call 9-1-1!” He said he did not know if it was Hebert or Durgin who called for the ambulance.

He further said that he never heard Durgin tell Hebert not to call for help or threaten her if she did. Polito’s testimony contradicts what Hebert – the prosecution’s only eyewitness – testified to last Friday when she stated that Durgin had threatened to kill her, her children and her mother if she told police what happened. A key element in the defense’s case is that Hebert is an unreliable witness because of serious memory problems and severe and

chronic drug and alcohol abuse.

In addition to manslaughter, Durgin, 37, is charged with negligent homicide – also a felony – as well as misdemeanor charges of simple assault, false imprisonment and witness tampering.

Under questioning by Harwood and also cross-examination by Assistant Attorney General Michael Lewis, Polito admitted that he had pleaded guilty to felony theft in 2008. The prosecution had also hoped to use Polito’s 1989 perjury conviction to impeach his credibility, but Superior Court Justice James O’Neill ruled Tuesday that evidence was inadmissible.

In addition to knowing Durgin and Hebert, Polito also said he was familiar with the trailer’s other two occupants: LaPierre and Gary Fields.

After telling Durgin and Hebert to call 9-1-1, Polito said he went to buy beer for Durgin who, Polito said, had “the shakes.” But as he was returning to the trailer he saw the ambulance personnel and police around the trailer and rather than going to tell investigators what he had seen and knew, he instead headed straight for his residence at 21 Winter St. In his cross-examination, Lewis said that police went to Polito’s residence twice on the afternoon of May 3, and both times he declined to answer questions or let police search his premises.

“You didn’t want to give (the police officer) a statement,” Lewis pressed Polito.

“I had a buzz going,” Polito answered explaining that finding the badly injured LaPierre had upset him and so he began drinking heavily.

After Polito’s testimony, the jury heard from the defense’s final witness.

Helen Gordon, who lives at 23 Baldwin St., close to Durgin’s trailer. She that around 8 a.m. on May 3, 2011, she saw two or three people come from the rear of the trailer and then walk hurriedly to their car parked opposite Quik Laundry and Dry Cleaners.

After Gordon finished testifying and with the jury out of the courtroom Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Agati told the court that based on photographs taken around the area of the crime scene there was no way Gordon could see the back of Durgin’s trailer from where she was at the time.

At the conclusion of the defense case Harwood again asked to have the charges against Polito dismissed, arguing that the prosecutors had failed to offer credible evidence. As happened when the defense made the same request at the conclusion of the prosecution’s case on Tuesday, O’Neill denied the defense’s motion.

Durgin was not called to testify in his own defense.

SUPERINTENDENT from page one with the candidates, and on Friday, reported Merrill, the board voted unanimously to select Ormond over Marie Ross, who is currently working as superintendent of Newfound Regional School District in Bristol.

Merrill reported that the board was impressed with Ormond’s knowledge, background and her ability to connect with teachers, staff and community members.

In addition to her experience in the Hudson School District, Ormond has also worked in the Merrimack School District, where she was head of the Special Education Department. She began her career as a special education teacher in Derry.

Ormond received her undergraduate degree in Special Education from Keene State College, a Masters of Education from Notre Dame College in Manchester, and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies from Plymouth State University.

Hatch, who met with the three full-time patrol officers of the department yesterday, said that Robarge was known and respected by them all. “We believe this arrangement will work out very well,” she said.

Hatch said that the selectmen intend to rewrite the job description for the police chief before proceeding to recruit and appoint a successor. “We will

begin discussing the job description when we meet Monday night,” she said.

The sergeant’s position in the department has also been vacant since Dennis Rector was terminated in March, 2011. Rector has challenged his dismissal in Belknap County Superior Court where a hearing in the case is scheduled for later this month. Hatch declined to comment on the case.

dition. But O’Mara said Zimmerman was OK: “I’m not concerned about his mental well-being.”

Zimmerman, whose father is white and whose mother is Hispanic, has asserted since the Feb. 26 killing in Sanford that he shot in self-defense after the teenager attacked him. Martin’s family argued Zimmerman was the aggressor.

The shooting brought demands from black leaders for his arrest, touched off protests in which people wore hooded sweatshirts like the one the teenager had on, and set off a furious debate over race and self-defense that reached all the way to the White see next page

Things will be tight but Sanbornton selectmen told town will make it to June 30 without exceeding budget

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — Selectmen last night received an update on a freeze on discretionary spending which they had ordered last week after finding that the town’s highway budget might be as much as $20,000 in the red and were told that although things are tight the situation is manageable. ‘’At this point, if we continue to keep spending the way it is, we should be all right. Our projections, based on current spending, is that we’ll make it through the fiscal year,’’ said Town Administrator Bob Veloski.

The town’s fiscal year runs through June 30.

Concern had been expressed last week by Selectboard Chair David Nickerson that the town wouldn’t have enough funds on hand to meet payroll.

But Veloski said that after consultation with all department heads last week that enough funds had been identified to enable the town offset the DPW shortfall.

He said that in previous years, when other departments had experienced shortfalls, the town had used funds from the DPW budget to make up the difference. ‘’We’re going to make it through and still have two nickels to rub together,’’ said Selectman Karen

Ober, who said that the spending freeze was nothing unusual and is used by many communities and state government itself when times are tough.

Ober had asked for an update from Veloski on the town’s fiscal situation after a scheduled update on the DPW situation had been removed from the agenda.

Veloski explained that Highway Supervisor Johnny VanTassel had been at last week’s meeting and that his presence wasn’t necessary last night. Also absent was Selectman Nickerson, who is expected to be back next week.

The board did approve a change order for work on the Plummer Road Bridge for $6,580 for unexpected problems which had developed. A temporary bridge is being used until the bridge is replaced and a new deck is scheduled to be poured for the bridge early next week.

It also is waiting to sign a new purchase and sales agreement with the real estate agent for the Bodwell property which drops the requirement for a $1,000 deposit by the town. At the May town meeting voters will be asked to appropriate $60,000 for the 4.76acres of the land adjacent to the current property owned by the town which is behind and next to the Old Town Hall. The property is currently owned by Priscilla Bodwell, Elaine Mitchell and Phillip and Denise Bodwell.

from preceding page House, where President Barack Obama observed: “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”

Separately, the U.S. Justice Department’s civil rights division is conducting its own investigation.

Corey said the decision to bring charges was based on the facts and the law, declaring: “We do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition.”

One of the biggest hurdles to Zimmerman’s arrest over the past month was Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which affords strong protection to those who use deadly force.

Second-degree murder means a killing that was not premeditated but resulted instead from an “imminently dangerous act” that showed a “depraved” lack of regard for human life.

Some legal experts had predicted the prosecutor would instead bring a charge of manslaughter, which carries up to 15 years behind bars. It is defined as a death that results from a reckless but not a depraved act.

Corey repeatedly declined to answer questions about details in the case.

“So much information got released on this case that never should have been released. We have to protect this prosecution and this investigation for Trayvon, for George Zimmerman,” she said.

Legal experts said Corey must have compelling evidence against Zimmerman if she chose to charge him with second-degree murder.

“That indicates they have evidence (Zimmerman) was chasing Trayvon because he was black,” said Florida defense attorney Richard Hornsby. “It’s difficult to think how one prosecutor didn’t charge him at all and another thought there was enough evidence to justify a second-degree charge. It’s a pretty drastic swing.”

Tensions have risen in recent days in Sanford, a town of 50,000 outside Orlando. Someone shot up an unoccupied police car Tuesday as it sat outside the neighborhood where Martin was killed. And a

demonstration by college students closed the town’s police station Monday.

But as the hour of the prosecutor’s announcement neared, the Martin family and their lawyer pleaded for calm.

Outside Sanford City Hall, Stacy Davis, a black woman, said she was glad to see arrested Zimmerman under arrest. “It’s not a black or white thing for me. It’s a right or wrong thing. He needed to be arrested,” she said. “I’m happy because maybe that boy can get some rest.”

Six weeks ago, Martin was returning to the home of his father’s fiancee from a convenience store with Skittles candy and ice tea when Zimmerman, the neighborhood crime-watch captain in the gated townhouse community, started following him.

Zimmerman told police dispatchers: “This guy looks like he is up to no good — he is on drugs or something.” The 911 dispatcher told him not to follow the young man.

At some point, the two got into a fight and Zimmerman used his gun.

Zimmerman told police Martin attacked him after he had given up chasing the teenager and was returning to his truck. He told detectives that Martin knocked him to the ground and began slamming his head on the sidewalk. Zimmerman’s father said his son suffered a broken nose.

Gilford takes lead in asking cable company to dedicate two channels to town-only programing

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Selectmen last night agreed to request that MetroCast Cablevision dedicate two of the three available PEG (public, educational and government) channels exclusively to programming by the town for subscribers in the town of Gilford.

The Selectboard took the initiative after the issue arose at a meeting of the Lakes Region Cable Television Consortium, consisting of representatives from Laconia, Franklin, Alton, Belmont, Gilford, Gilmanton, Meredith, New Durham, Northfield and Tilton, formed last year to negotiate the renewal of the various franchise agreements with MetroCast.

Consequently, the other members of the consortium are expected to make similar requests.

In a letter to Maura Campbell, the general manager of MetroCast, the board explained that its request is consistent with the provisions of Article 8 of the Franchise Agreement. Channel 24 would remain a regional public access station managed and controlled by Lakes Region Public Access Television (LRPA). Channel 25 would be reserved for educational programming solely for Gilford subscribers provided by the Gilford School District in partnership with LRPA. Likewise, Channel 26 would be dedicated for governmental programming provided by town and the LRPA exclusively for Gilford subscribers.

Currently Channel 24 is devoted to program listings; Channel 25 is reserved for independently produced programming such as the long-running “Today in Focus” program that features Laconia Motorcycle Week Association officials Charlie St.

Clair and Jennifer Anderson; and Channel 26 is reserved for the broadcasting and re-broadscasting of public meetings.

In addition, the selectmen, again referring to the Franchise Agreement, asked MetroCast to provide the town with a character generator or its equivalent, up to a value of $4,000, which would be used program a bulletin board on Channel 26 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year in lieu of governmental telecasts.

The board explained that it understood that according to the franchise agreement any costs associated with changing the use of the PEG channels would be born by MetroCast and could not be passed through to its subscribers.

Furthermore, to ensure the success of the transition the board requested that MetroCast provide training for municipal and school officials as well as the staff of the LRPA, so they can take complete responsibility for producing and telecasting both the bulletin board and other programming.

Denise Beauchaine of LRPA told the selectmen that the technology required to dedicate the channels was available, but pointed out that MetroCast contracts with the municipalities, not the LRPA. She expressed some concern that the reconfiguration of the three channels not place additional strain on the resources of LRPA. Town Administrator Scott Dunn said that the town would operate the bulletin board and continue to send discs carrying its programming to LRPA, doubting that the requested changes would have a significant impact on the operations of LRPA.

The headline over a story about the upcoming (Wednesday, April 18) program entitled “Are you afraid of opera?” that appeared in our Wednesday, April 11 edition was incorrect. The information in

the story itself was correct: the program will be held at 12:15 p.m. at the Taylor Community’s Woodside building in Laconia. The program is a part of the 2012 Plymouth State University Lecture Series.

RIGHT-TO-WORK from page 2 “It represents the reality this bill is not going to pass when all is said and done,” said Bragdon, R-Milford.

The Senate Commerce Committee had recommended amending the House bill to strip out a provision that would allow nonunion public employees to negotiate their own contracts, something that would repeal public unions’ exclusive bargaining powers.

That would have left the same so-called right-towork bill vetoed last year which barred unions from collecting a share of costs from non-members.

Currently, unions and businesses must negotiate whether to require the fees as part of a collective bargaining agreement.

New Hampshire labor leaders applauded the Senate action.

“Today we saw our senators demonstrate leadership by putting aside (Republican House) Speaker (William) O’Brien’s never ending war against working families,” said Diana Lacey, president of the union representing most of New Hampshire’s state employees.

The bill is one of O’Brien’s top priorities. After Lynch’s veto last year, O’Brien tried to time his call for a vote to when he had the best chance of winning.

It takes two-thirds of the lawmakers present to override a veto. O’Brien first called for a vote soon after the veto, then backed off when it was clear he did not have the votes. His refusal to call a vote despite requests from opponents forced union groups to return session after session to shore up support for killing the bill.

O’Brien finally called for a vote on Nov. 30 and lost. New bills were filed this year, but also passed by less than the two-thirds needed to ensure the House could override a certain veto. An analysis of the vote showed some Republicans switched from supporters to opponents — making its eventual defeat more likely.

State Sen. Jim Forysthe, the lone Senate sponsor on this year’s bill, made the motion Wednesday to table the bill. In a statement afterward, he said his commitment to the bill remains the same, but it was important to focus on bills that can be passed into law.

Supporters argue that prohibiting employers and unions from requiring nonunion members to pay fees would help bring new companies to New Hampshire and would protect nonunion workers’ rights.

But opponents call it an attack on unions.

Both sides estimate that only about 9 percent of New Hampshire workers belong to unions.

GAS from page 2 natural gas has been a boon to homes and businesses that use the fuel for heat and appliances, and for manufacturers that use it to power their factories and make chemicals, plastics and other materials.

Another benefit: Electricity costs are lower because natural gas is used to generate about a quarter of the nation’s electric power.

From October to March, households spent $868 on average on natural gas, a decline of 17 percent from last winter. Those savings have helped to relieve the

burden of rising gasoline prices. Households spent $1,940 on gasoline from October to March, a 7 percent increase from the same period a year ago.

There is so much natural gas being produced — and still in the ground — that drillers, policymakers, economists and natural gas customers are trying to figure out what to do with it. Last year, the U.S. produced an average of 63 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, a 24 percent increase from 2006. But over that period consumption has grown half as fast.

Romero outduels Lester; Toronto beats Red Sox 3-1 TORONTO (AP) — Season-opening road trips don’t seem to agree with the Boston Red Sox. A year after losing their first six games to start the season, the Red Sox finished a 1-5 trip with a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.

“That’s not the road trip we want,” Boston manager Bobby Valentine said, “but we’ve got a homestand coming up and we’ll try to see if we can’t get things going in the right direction.”

Ricky Romero outdueled Jon Lester and Yunel Escobar drove in two runs for the Blue Jays, who took two of three games from Boston.

“Obviously it’s not the way we wanted to start,” Lester added.

Boston also started on the road last season. This year’s home opener, on Friday against Tampa Bay, can’t arrive soon enough.

“It’s like a reset for everybody,” slugger David Ortiz said. “Hopefully we start playing better once we get home.”

Not much has gone right for the Red Sox so far.

And it doesn’t help that everyone still remembers how last year ended — with a historic swoon over the final month that cost Boston a wild card berth.

“We’re not playing good right now,” Lester said.

“The games we’ve pitched well we don’t hit, the

game’s we don’t pitch well, we hit. We haven’t put it together right now. Nobody in this clubhouse wants to start slow, regardless of years past.”

Other than a third inning that saw the teams combine for five hits and three runs, left-handers Romero and Lester were perfect until Lester (0-1) issued a two-out walk to Rajai Davis in the eighth, snapping a streak of 15 consecutive outs. Davis stole second, beating the tag on a failed Red Sox pickoff play, then scored on Escobar’s single to center.

Romero (1-0) saw his streak of 17 straight outs end when Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia drew back-to-back walks to begin the ninth. He left to a standing ovation after Adrian Gonzalez flied out to center, with both runners advancing on the play.

Sergio Santos came on to strike out Youkilis, then ended it by getting Ortiz to ground out. The save was the first of the season for Santos, who had blown his first two chances.

“There was quite a bit on my mind just because of everything that’s happened,” said Santos, who coughed up the lead in the ninth inning of Monday’s home opener. “It was nice to block all that out, get out there and throw some effective pitches.”

Romero allowed three hits, all singles, in 8 1-3 innings. He walked two and struck out five.

Rondo carries road-weary Celtics to win over Hawks BOSTON (AP) — Paul Pierce overcame a miserable shooting game with a key jumper in overtime and Rajon Rondo finished with a triple-double with 20 assists, 10 points and 10 rebounds to lift the surging Boston Celtics to an 88-86 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

Kevin Garnett had 22 points and grabbed 12 boards before fouling out with just under 3 minutes left in OT, and Brandon Bass, who also hit a jumper

in OT, scored 21 points.

It was Rondo’s 19th straight game with double digits in assists.

Jeff Teague led the Hawks with 21 points and Josh Smith had 20 with 11 rebounds. The Hawks had won eight of 11 since losing to Boston at home on March 19.

It was the Celtics’ 11th win in 14 games. Pierce finished with 14 points.

STOCKS from page 2 Poor’s 500 rose 10.12 points to 1,368.71 after losing 24 points the day before. The Nasdaq composite climbed 25.24 points to 3,016.46 following a 56-point loss Tuesday.

Alcoa rose more than 6 percent after reporting late Tuesday that it turned a profit in the first three months of the year and handily beat the expectations of Wall Street analysts, who were predicting a loss. Since Alcoa is the first company in the Dow average to report earnings, its results have a greater ability to move the market compared with companies that report later. More first-quarter results will be released over the next few weeks.

Market watchers were divided over how long the gains would last and whether Alcoa’s profits actually mean anything for the rest of the earnings season.

“I’m not predicting we’re going to have a blowout earnings quarter,” said David Armstrong, managing director of Monument Wealth Management in Alexandria, Va. “But I think if people thought earnings season was going to be bad, they may be pleasantly surprised.”

“One earnings report?” countered Uri Landesman, president of the New York hedge fund Platinum Partners. The boost “will last until the first bad number.”

For Europe as well, investors seemed anxious to latch onto any piece of good news. They were cheered that the rate on Spain’s 10-year bonds dropped slightly after nearing 6 percent on Tuesday.

Pittsburg to Dover: Burton’s district would change dramatically under plan adopted by N.H. Senate CONCORD (AP) — The Senate has approved a plan to redraw New Hampshire’s five Executive Council districts that differs from one passed by the House.

The Senate voted 13-11 Wednesday to adopt the plan, which now goes back to the House for consideration. The Senate plan takes towns and cities along the Democratic-controlled Seacoast away from Councilor Dan St. Hilaire, R-Concord, and gives his district communities in Grafton County. In the

House version, St. Hilaire’s district went from the coast to the Vermont border.

The Senate plan would not give Councilor Ray Burton some Upper Valley towns he has represented and wanted to keep in his district. Instead, his district would have Rochester, Somersworth, Rollinsford and Dover.

Councilor Chris Sununu’s district would get Portsmouth. It’s in St. Hilaire’s district in the House version.

Peter Millham asks Gilford to go to court over House district plan

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Without committing the town to litigation, the selectmen last night directed Town Administrator Scott Dunn to determine what other municipalities are contemplating mounting a legal challenge to the redistricting of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and report his findings to the board.

Attorney Peter Millham, whose wife Alida is the lone member of the House from Gilford, told the board that until the House districts were redrawn by the New Hampshire Supreme Court in 2002, the town had elected two representatives. Moreover, he explained that in 2006 the state Constitution was amended to ensure that towns with sufficient population for one or more seats would be assigned them, noting that Gilford qualifies for two.

However, the constitutional provision must be reconciled with the principle of “one man, one vote” enshrined in federal law, which prescribes that the population of electoral districts must be “substantially equal.” The House Special Committee on Redistricting insisted that districts not deviate from the ideal size more or less than five-percent, which led to a plan where 62 towns, including Gilford, Meredith and Tilton in Belknap County, without a guarantee of their own representation.

Millham explained that according to the 2010 Census, the ideal population for each of the 400 seats in the House is 3,291. With a population of 7,126, Gilford qualifies for two representatives, leaving an excess population of 544, which represents a devia-

tion from the ideal of 7.6-percent. Meredith, with 6,241 people, qualifies for one seat, but falls 341 people, or 5.4-percent, short of qualifying for two seats.

The redistricting plan addresses what the committee found to be excessive deviations by combining Gilford and Meredith in one district that would elect four representatives at-large, all of whom could be returned by either town leaving the other without a representative.

Millham said that the Legislature feared that deviation greater than plus or minus 10-percent would lead the federal government to strike the plan. However, he said that the federal courts have accepted “reasonable” and “substantial” deviation, particularly to satisfy a constitutional provision.

“They didn’t even try,” he said the of redistricting committee. “This is a gross injustice to the town of Gilford.”

Millham asked the selectmen if they preferred that two residents of Gilford should represent the town exclusively or share four representatives, all or none of whom may be residents of Gilford and all of whom would be obliged to both towns. “If you feel two are better than a piece of four, then I think you ought to at least make an appearance in court,” Millham said.

Last week, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in Manchester authorized Mayor Ted Gatsas to explore litigation and this week the Concord City Council asked the city solicitor to consider the prospects of a suit and make recommendations. Meanwhile, both the selectboards in Meredith and Tilton are contemplating taking or joining litigation.

‘Dreaming Again’ play Meredith Village Savings Bank awards $5,000 performed at Laconia to Belknap Regional Special Operations Group Middle School April 17

LACONIA — “Dreaming Again”, an original dramatic play written by Genevieve Aichele, Director of the New Hampshire Theatre Project, and based on the stories of Granite State immigrants and refugees, past and present, will be performed at the Laconia Middle School on Tuesday, April 17 at 7 p.m.

The play will take shape from the authentic voices and experiences of immigrants and refugees who have resettled in New Hampshire over the past 100 years. The New Hampshire Humanities Council commissioned the play as the culminating project in its Fences & Neighbors: New Hampshire’s Immigration Stories three-year initiative.

The Laconia Human Relations Committee is a cosponsor of the drama. There is no admission charge for the play but a donation is suugested according to Carol Pierce, Chair of the Laconia Human Relations Committee.

In 2009, the New Hampshire Humanities Council launched Fences & Neighbors: New Hampshire’s Immigration Stories. This three-year project was designed to increase understanding of immigration history in New Hampshire, both past and present; to multiply opportunities for reflection and productive dialogue among New Hampshire citizens; and to share human stories that would help reduce cultural barriers for newcomers and receiving communities.

The project included the production of “Uprooted”, a documentary film on New Hampshire refugees; a series of reflective citizen dialogues; Connections literacy programs for adult English learners; and grant making to grassroots organizations conducting projects for and about immigrants.

The Humanities Council received grants from TransCanada, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, the Putnam Foundation and the Endowment for Health in support of the creation and production of Dreaming Again. Learn more on the NH Humanities Council website at http://nhhc.org or call 603-224-4071.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis always meant for this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When a project stalls, it gives you time to do the thing you wanted to be doing in the first place: taking care of your personal life. Your people need the brand of attention only you can give.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have nothing to hide, and yet a certain someone keeps telling you secrets for your ears only. If it’s becoming burdensome to carry the weight of this load, request an end to your tenure as confidante.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Obviously, you’re not going to be motivated to accomplish anything in an arena that bores you to tears. Begin the quest for a more interesting environment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re an important member of your community, even when all you’re doing is spreading good will with the decency of your cheerful smile. Friendly faces will be everywhere you go today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). That so-called “friend” who burned you long ago will do the same again if you allow it to happen -- and if you do, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. So protect yourself and stay aware.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 12).

Developments in your personal life allow you to experience more love than ever.

It starts with a gift you give to someone this month. You’ll make valuable connections with people from a different background in May. You’re ready for adventure in June. Loved ones depend on you, and you make them proud.

Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 31, 48, 18 and 20.

by Chad Carpenter

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you are afraid, your hair stands on end.

In primitive times when humans were downright furry, this made a difference, as the human would appear bigger to predators. Today, you’ll find other ways to appear big.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t control the weather, but you can control how you react to it. You’re in a flexible mood now and will instantly adapt to whatever comes your way.

Someone new takes notice, impressed by your easy confidence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be drawn to a mystery. Is this dangerous? Maybe, and that’s definitely part of the allure. Your curiosity may get the best of you, and you’ll love the daring mood this puts you in.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Noises won’t hurt you, but they certainly can break your concentration and distract you from your desired focus. You’ll have to make an extra effort to find a quiet place on this bustling, cacophonous day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in one of your generous moods -- times three. You’ll give and keep giving until you fall asleep tonight. The good you send into the world will boomerang back to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be disillusioned with someone. You projected your own desires onto the relationship, and human nature can be so unfair. The good news is that the person you were looking for really is out there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re ready to step into the position you’ve had your eye on for some time. You’ll be filling big shoes, but that doesn’t scare you. It’s as though you were

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 12, 2012— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, April 12, the 103rd day of 2012. There are 263 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 12, 1862, during the Civil War, Union volunteers led by James J. Andrews stole a Confederate locomotive near Marietta, Ga., and headed toward Chattanooga, Tenn., on a mission to sabotage as much of the rail line as they could; the raiders were caught, and eight of them, Andrews included, were executed as spies.

On this date: In 1606, England’s King James I decreed the design of the original Union Flag, which combined the flags of England and Scotland.

In 1811, fur traders employed by John Jacob Astor began building Fort Astoria in present-day Oregon.

In 1861, the American Civil War began as Confederate forces opened fire on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. (The Union troops holding the fort surrendered the following day.)

In 1877, the catcher’s mask was first used in a baseball game by James Tyng of Harvard in a game against the Lynn Live Oaks.

In 1934, “Tender Is the Night,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was first published in book form after being serialized in Scribner’s Magazine.

In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Warm Springs, Ga., at age 63; he was succeeded by Vice President Harry S. Truman.

In 1955, the Salk vaccine against polio was declared safe and effective.

In 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to fly in space, orbiting the earth once before making a safe landing.

In 1981, the space shuttle Columbia blasted off from Cape Canaveral on its first test flight.

In 1985, Sen. Jake Garn, R-Utah, became the first sitting member of Congress to fly in space as the shuttle Discovery lifted off.

In 1992, after five years in the making, Euro Disneyland opened in Marne-La-Vallee, France, amid controversy as French intellectuals bemoaned the invasion of American pop culture.

One year ago: Japan ranked its nuclear crisis at the highest possible severity on an international scale — the same level as the 1986 Chernobyl disaster — even as it insisted radiation leaks were declining at its tsunami-crippled nuclear plant.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife and I were both married before. Last year, she confessed that she’d had a 35-year affair with a married doctor. At the time, she was in her early 20s and he was in his early 40s. After 35 years, she decided he was too old for her and ended things.

She told me the doctor’s name, but when I did some checking, I discovered it was a fake name. I am not upset about her past. But I am terribly unhappy that she is lying to me. She met this doctor in his office, so she knows his name. How can she expect me to believe she didn’t know the identity of a guy with whom she had a 35-year affair? I no longer trust her and don’t like the dishonesty. Is there any way to trust her again, or do I move on? -- Lost in El Paso Dear Lost: She may be protecting this man’s identity because she doesn’t want you to confront him. Or you may know him.

Or she could be lying about the affair. She obviously didn’t expect you to check the veracity of her story. Now you need to discuss it with her. Tell her what you discovered. Ask her why she lied. Quite frankly, it serves no purpose for you to know this man’s name, and you should say so (and mean it). She is less likely to hide information when she believes you will not judge her or go looking for old boyfriends. It might help to have this conversation with a counselor who can mediate.

Dear Annie: My in-laws divorced 10 years ago because of my father-in-law’s homosexual infidelity. Shortly after the divorce, my mother-in-law attempted suicide.

I don’t think she has ever sought therapy for her emotional pain. To this day, she continues to badmouth her ex-husband in front of her children and grandchildren. She seems to vent mostly to me, probably because I’m related by marriage and she figures I’ll be more receptive. Sometimes she’ll make up

stories about him.

I believe she wants me to hate him. The truth is, I don’t. In spite of what happened, he has been a wonderful father and grandfather, and we love him.

How can I get her to stop bashing him without seeming to take sides and hurting her feelings? -- Dumped Upon Dear Dumped: It is perfectly OK to tell your mother-in-law that you don’t want to hear such criticisms and simply ask her to stop. Or get up and leave when she starts in. But you might also say with genuine concern that she seems obsessed with her ex and you are worried about her mental health. Suggest she seek therapy not only to vent to a professional, but to learn how to move forward with her life.

Dear Annie: I’d like to share how my family handled a situation similar to that of “Old in Indiana,” the 90-year-old woman who wondered how to divide her possessions among her daughters and daughters-in-law.

I’m one of three siblings, and the folks had several generational heirlooms that none of us wanted to see sold or given to one of us as a show of favoritism. Our parents put numbers on each item, and then we drew matching numbers from a bowl. We agreed that if one of us wanted an item someone else had drawn, an offer could be made to trade or pay its monetary value. Anyone who didn’t want something they were given had to give notice to the other two siblings before putting it up for sale, allowing the others to buy it and keep it in the family.

All of this was written down and agreed to in the presence of a lawyer, and added to the will. There have been no regrets or disputes. -- A Happy Heir in Nebraska

LACONIA — The Historic Belknap Mill is raising the flag at this year’s seventh-annual Private Collections’ event on Friday, May 11 at the Lake Opechee Inn & Conference Center.

The event salutes products “Made in the USA” and provides an opportunity to show pride for the red, white and blue, while supporting the efforts to preserve and enhance ongoing programming at the Belknap Mill.

Presented by Eptam Plastics the celebration will showcase a private collection of American-built automobiles. The one-night exhibit features several vintage and new vehicles, owned by some of the region’s most-notable collectors.

The collection also includes a sampling of products made by prominent Lakes Region manufacturers.

From the past to the present, see locally made products, using the latest technology, and valued items from the area’s manufacturing heritage.

The Private Collection features vehicles in red, white or blue. The American-made cars include a red 1955 Chevy Bel-Air Gypsy and a white 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. One of the show’s highlights is a blue 1938 F-38 Convertible Coupe Oldsmobile. This very rare car is one of only seven known to exist. Prior to its restoration, it was featured in a Levi’s ad with Dale Earnhardt.

The fun starts with a pre-party cocktail and hor d’oeuvre reception hosted by Laconia Savings Bank, followed by a buffet of American dinner classics catered by O Steaks and Seafood. Up next are a special all-American stage act, a live auction and dancing to the sounds of Annie & the Orphans. The party

On display at the Belknap Mill Private Collections’ Event slated for May 11 is this rare 1938 F-38 Convertible Coupe Oldsmobile.

continues with late-night desserts, a coffee bar and other surprises.
