Belmont teen saves dad with ‘Heimlich’ learned at school By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — A second helping of dinner proved a dangerous move for a Lakewood Drive man on Saturday night, as he began choking on a piece of pot roast. Fortunately for him, his son heard his distress and rushed to his aid, employing the Heimlich maneuver he had learned earlier this year as a Belmont Middle School student.
Eighth grader Kaleb Hibbard said he learned what to do when someone is choking in September, as a student in Life Skills teacher Linda Farrell’s class. He figured he’d likely never have to use the skill but as a motivated student who often makes honor roll, he said he focused on the lesson. “I just pay attention for the most part.” Everett Bickford, Hibbard’s dad, is glad he does. On Saturday evening, after Hib-
bard’s mother Jeanne Hibbard-Bickford left to run some evening errands, Bickford added an extra piece of pot roast to his plate and retired to the computer room, while Hibbard sat in the living room, watching Louisville battle Wichita State for a chance to play in the men’s NCAA basketball championship game. “I guess I took in more than I could chew,” see HEiMLiCH page 10

GILFORD — The routine traffic stop of a Gilford man suspected of driving while intoxicated led to multiple drug offenses against the driver, including one of possession of nearly 1,000 oxycodone pills with the intent to distribute them. Ryan Geraci, 31, of 272 Sagamore Road is charged with one felony count possession of narcotics with the intent to sell, possession of oxycodone, and possession of methamphetamine. Affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said Belnap County Deputy Sheriff E. Justin Blanchette saw a car being driven by Geraci cross the double yellow line on Rte. 11-B (Weirs Road) three times and cross the fog line four times. Blanchette made the traffic stop near Kimball Road and said when he spoke to Geraci he had “slow speech” and his “voice was trembling.” Geraci willingly stepped out of the car. see PiLLS page 12

Maine hermit had taste for fine things
ROME, Maine (AP) — He would meditate on an overturned bucket while staring up at the sky and knew all the eagles that nested nearby. But despite his 27 years of seclusion in the woods, Christopher Knight also had a taste for the finer things in life, authorities said Thursday after dismantling the so-called North Pond hermit’s lair. In the 47-year-old’s camp, they recovered goods that included highend L.L. Bean sleeping bags and a new tent. He was wearing brand-new shoes and gloves, all believed stolen, when authorities arrested him after he tripped a surveillance sensor at a camp last week. They believe Knight may be responsible for more than 1,000 burglaries of food and other staples during the nearly three decades he hunkered down in the woods. Game Warden Sgt. Terry Hughes said Thursday that authorities believe Knight broke into cottages and stole quality products because they would last longer and help perpetuate his life of solitude. And the hermit see HERMIT page 4

Gun control bill clears first hurdle in U.S. Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress’ most serious gun-control effort in years cleared its first hurdle Thursday as the Senate pushed past conservatives’ attempted blockade under the teary gaze of families of victims of December’s Connecticut school shootings. The bipartisan 68-31 vote rebuffed an effort to keep debate from even starting, giving an early victory — and perhaps political momentum — to President Barack Obama and his gun control allies. Four months after 20 first-graders and six
staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown were killed, relatives watching the vote from a gallery overlooking the Senate floor dabbed at tears and clasped hands, some seeming to pray. Even so, few supporters of the legislation are confident of victory. Several weeks of emotional, unpredictable Senate debate lie ahead, and a mix of gun-rights amendments, opposition from the National Rifle Association and skepticism from House Republican leaders leave big questions about what will emerge from Congress.
Foes of the proposed new restrictions say they would penalize law-abiding citizens and do nothing to curb gun violence. “The hard work starts now,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who brought the legislation to the floor for debate. Still, in a Congress marked by a notable lack of cooperation between Democrats and Republicans, Thursday’s vote was one of several displays of unusual rapport across party lines. In other examples not connected to the issue of guns: see GUNS page 8
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Hinting at a missile launch, North Korea delivered a fresh round of war rhetoric Thursday with claims it has “powerful striking means” on standby. Seoul and Washington speculated that it is preparing to test-fire a missile designed to be capable of reaching the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean. The latest rhetoric came as new U.S. intelligence was revealed showing North
Korea is now probably capable of arming a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead. On the streets of Pyongyang, North Koreans shifted into party mode as they celebrated the anniversary of leader Kim Jong Un’s appointment to the country’s top party post — one in a slew of titles collected a year ago in the months after his father Kim Jong Il’s death. But while there was calm in Pyongyang, there was condemnation in London, where
foreign ministers from the Group of Eight nations slammed North Korea for “aggressive rhetoric” that they warned would only further isolate the impoverished, tightly controlled nation. North Korea’s provocations, including a long-range rocket launch in December and an underground nuclear test in February, “seriously undermine regional stability, jeopardize the prospects for lasting peace see N KOREA page 12

Number of people filing unemployment aid applications drops suddenly WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell sharply last week to a seasonally adjusted 346,000, signaling that the job market might be stronger than March’s weak month of hiring suggested.
Applications for unemployment aid dropped 42,000 last week, the Labor Department said Thursday. The decline nearly reversed an increase over the previous three weeks. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose 3,000 to 358,000.

Government charges Gilford man is a kingpin of huge offshore sports betting operation; ‘The Greek’ turns himself in to authorities in Boston By Ed EnglEr
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Internet sites devoted to the sports gambling industry were afire Thursday with the news that Spiros “The Greek” Athanas is one of 34 people accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of operating an illegal, offshore bookmaking business that over the past decade has handled more than a billion dollars in action from U.S. bettors. Indictments were handed down by a grand jury in Oklahoma for racketeering, money laundering and operating an illegal gambling business. Justice officials headlined a man from Spring, Texas — Bartice “Cool” King — in the Wednesday announcement of the indictments but in the betting world the focus was clearly on “The Greek”, who turns out to be 53-year-old Spiros Athanasopolous of 176 Gunstock Hill Road in Gilford. Assisted by local police, FBI agents were at Athanasopolous’ house with arrest and search warrants on Wednesday. But he was not a home. Special Agent Kiernan Ramsey of the FBI’s Boston office said yesterday that Athanasopolous’ wife and son were at the house when they arrived. They were able to get a phone number for their suspect and “convinced” him to turn himself in to authorities. Ramsey said Athanasopolous came to the U.S. Courthouse in Boston on Thursday, accompanied by an attorney. He was charged and released. Athanasopolous later appeared in U. D. District Court in Concord for a detention hearing but Ramsey said did not know the outcome of that proceeding.
Ramsey said the FBI spent all day searching Athanasopolous’ home and indicated a number of items were seized. One town resident told The Daily Sun that neighbors refer to the Athanasopolous’ sprawling residence — assessed by the town at $1.7 million — as the “hacienda”. WagerMinds.com was reporting that Athanasopolous is “widely known throughout the offshore betting industry”, principally as the founder of TheGreek.com, “one of the sharpest and most wellrespected offshore bookmakers.” The website noted that “The Greek” stopped accepting bets from U.S. customers nearly two years ago. The government now charges that Athanasopolous has also been a partner with “Cool” King in a huge offshore betting company now based in Panama City, Panama. It wants to seize $1 billion in assets it claims are associated with the profits from Legends Sports (www.betlegends.eu), which Gambling911.com describes as a state-of-the-art three story facility in Panama City that employees more than 100 people. The website reports that “offshore bookmaking businesses with exposure to credit betting in the U.S. have come under increasing fire from local law enforcement agencies leading to a monopoly effect in which a growing number of agents are becoming cooperative witnesses.” Jim Finch, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Oklahoma City added an explanation point: “Individuals cannot skirt the laws of the United States by setting up illegal Internet Gambling operations in
a foreign country, while living in the United States and enjoying all the benefits of U.S. citizens.” Among the assets the government is attempting to seize as the alleged product of ill-gotten game are Athanasopolous’ home in Gilford, a hanger at the Laconia Municipal Airport, the contents of two bank accounts at Bank of New Hampshire and two more at TD Bank. The hanger also figures prominently in the government’s charges against Athanasopolous for money laundering. It alleges that in 2009, he wrote a check for $180,000 to pay for the building. And that a year earlier, he used more than $300,000 of the money gained from the gambling operation in Panama to pay for home improvements. Over a period of four years, the government says Athanasopolous transferred a total of $3.3 million from a bank account in Jamaica to his accounts in New Hampshire. On the list of the 34 people indicted, Athanasopolous, King and 12 others are referred to as members of the “executive staff” of Legends Sports. Another group of individuals are grouped as “agents” and still others as “bookies”. The list includes a number of men with colorful nicknames, including “Wild Bill”, “Frank the Bank”, “Top Cat”, “Big Dog” and “Bubbles”. The people charged face up to 20 years in prison for racketeering, up to 20 years for conspiracy to commit money laundering, up to 10 years for money laundering and up to five years for operating an illegal gambling business.

Pushing for repeal, foes of N.H. biz tax credits for private school scholarships program say it’s meant to primarily benefit ‘families of creationist Christians’ By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Saying a new state law that established that business tax credits could be granted for contributions to a private-education scholarship fund diverts money from public schools, former N.H. Board of Education chair and former state representative Judie Reever called on citizens to publicly support a bill currently being considered by the N.H. State Senate that would repeal the measure. Reever, who was joined by the president of Defending New Hampshire’s Public Education, Bill Duncan, yesteray outside the Laconia Public Library, said the law was an “irresponsible” effort by “Tea Party” Republicans Sen. Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro and Rep. Bill O’Brien of Mont Vernon to gut money for public
education. House Bill 370, which earlier passed in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, was this week voted “inexpedient to legislate” by the Senate Committee on Health, Education and Social Services. It will now come to the floor for consideration by the entire Senate. Supporters of the current law say the it allows low-income people who send their children to private schools to get scholarships that helps them pay for tuition. Duncan said yesterday that the money — so far only $140,000 of the projected $4 million dollars has been raised — would largely go to subsidize the families of creationist Christians who seek to destroy the concept of public education in America and the

constitutional doctrine of the separation of church and state. He said the law as it stands now actually saves the state money because when a child leaves a public school, the state adequacy grant of $4,100 leaves the district but the scholarship is capped at $2,500 per student and $250 per home-school student. Likening it to a “voucher program, Duncan said it is available only to people whose family income is less than $70,000 for a family of four. Duncan also said there are “odd” groups of people from California who manage the scholarship fund and there is a lack of oversight and accountability. Sen. Andrew Hosmer (D-Laconia), who was not at the library, said yesterday he will support the repeal of the scholarship law. “We are using taxpayer money to finance religious education,” he said, adding the concept undermines public education. Hosmer also said he has “grave concerns” about how the fund is administered and he thinks it may not be constitutional. Duncan said the key to getting the legislation to repeal hinges on the votes of one or two “good government Republicans” who are in the state Senate. Hampton Republican Nancy Stiles heads the Senate Committee that voted 3-to-2 to recommend against the repeal bill. Duncan said he was surprised by her vote because she voted to uphold former gov. John Lynch’s veto of the original bill last year. At the time she was quoted in the Union Leader as saying the bill was “bad policy.” He and Reever asked people to sign an on-line petition that would encourage state senators to support House Bill 370 when it comes to the floor. Defending N.H. Public Education is also challenging the law in the Strafford County Superior Court. State Rep. Beth Arsenault, D-Laconia-Belmont and her son also attended yesterday’s press conference. HERMIT from page 2

apparently didn’t steal fridge leftovers either. “He was a fussy eater,” said Dave Proulx, a nearby cottage owner who tried to capture the hermit six or seven years ago after falling victim to more than a dozen break-ins. Proulx, who said he came face to face with Knight while staking out his own cottage, said the hermit never made off with meat that wasn’t in its original packaging. On the rainy, cloudy night of their encounter, the hermit escaped by canoe after Proulx threw on a floodlight and chased him to a dock, Proulx said. Authorities filled two pickup trucks on Thursday as they took apart Knight’s camp, later displaying what they were calling evidence for local folks to sort through to try to recover their stolen goods. There were several Nintendo Game Boys and a wristwatch, along with shovels, rakes, coolers, cooking gear, a coffee pot and even toilet paper. Authorities said Knight used logs on the ground as a makeshift commode, and at one point, attached an antenna to a treetop so he could get reception on his battery-powered TV in his tarp-covered camp. Many locals said they were relieved by Knight’s arrest after enduring years of break-ins. Before the camp’s dismantling, some curious folks hiked about a mile into the woods with police to try to get a look at the hermit’s camp. Among them was Frank Ten Broeck, a retired New Jersey police official who has a cottage nearby. “To me, this is mind-boggling. I just can’t believe this guy was here 27 years,” Ten Broeck said. “This is some of the most severe weather you can go through.” But the land’s owner disappointed them, deciding to let only authorities into the camp on Thursday. A corrections officer at Kennebec County Jail in Augusta said Knight was refusing requests for interviews. see next page
Paranormal expo haunting Tilton/Northfield on Saturday By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
NORTHFIELD — While there are some who devote their lives, or at least their television-watching hours, to exploration of the paranormal, there are many more who have felt an unexplained sensation or heard a mysterious sound and wondered if there is more to this realm than what meets the eye. CC Carole, who stars in paranormal-related Internet and television programs as “CC the Huntress,” is organizing a Paranormal Awards night on Saturday night for the serious paranormal investigators. For those curious about the world of the paranormal, Carole is planning a conference to precede the awards ceremony. Both will be held Saturday at the Merrimack Valley Railroad Station at 5 Park Street. Carole, who lives in Merrimack, held the first Paranormal Awards event last year, at an abandoned church in Kingsboro. It was appropriately spooky, but she was looking for something a little more accommodating, and found the Merrimack Valley Railroad Station to be an ideal place. “I picked that site because I wanted something that had great historical value, I wanted something that would represent the paranormal.” Considering that the railroad station provided those attributes, as well as could hold a crowd and had the Black Swan Inn and the 1875 Inn nearby in Tilton, and she said, “It was a perfect fit.” The conference will be held at the railroad station from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Vendors will represent the range of paranormal pursuits, including ghost hunting, UFOs, cryptozoology and
Bigfoot. Psychic readings and lectures will be offered, and various paranormal equipment and paraphernalia will be available for purchase. Jason Wasley, of the television show Ghost Adventures, will be present. Entrance to the conference will cost $8, or $5 with the donation of a nonperishable food item or pet food item. The food items will be given to either a local food pantry or animal shelter. The awards ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. and will conclude by 10 p.m. Following, Carole will host an afterparty at the 1875 Inn. Carole said she’s been working in the paranormal field for more than 20 years. For seasoned professionals like her, she said it’s refreshing to interact with people new to the field. “I like it when the general public comes because I learn a lot from them. They have such an innocent approach to paranormal that they give us fresh ideas.” Although the field seems to have been enjoying unusual attention in the past several years, humans have been curious about otherworldly happenings for thousands of years. “Everyone has a curiosity about death. People are curious about the unknown.” She speculates that nearly everyone has experienced an unexplained phenomenon, or has at least felt a physical sensation that something strange was occurring. She explained that, for people like her, pursuing that sensation provides a kind of thrill. Her hope is that the conference will attract people who also enjoy that thrill, and that are interested in expanding their skill sets to gain further insight into the paranormal. As she said, “Anyone can play ‘Chopsticks’ on the piano, but can you become a concert pianist?”
Gilford town administrator corrects aspects of Daily Sun story about possible demolition of Kimball Castle
Several items mentioned in a story published on Thursday, April 11 about the possible demolition of the Kimball Castle in Gilford need to be clarified or corrected. The story was the report of a Selectboard meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday night. Town Administrator Scott Dunn said on Thursday that the board, to be precise, had voted to allow the owner of Kimball Castle to raze the buildings on the historic property. He said the
owner estimated it would cost $25,000 to do so. He said the Kimball Castle property was sold by the town in 1991 to the Historic Inns of New England. He clarified that he has not written to the N.H. Attorney General about the matter but confirmed that both the AG’s office and a Belknap County Superior Court judge will have to agree to allow the owner to raze the buildings.
from preceding page He has applied for a court-appointed lawyer and hasn’t entered a plea to the burglary and theft charges stemming from the break-in at Pine Tree Camp, a facility for special needs people. Authorities said they caught Knight with $283 in goods in his backpack after he fell into a trap set by Hughes, who’s been trying to capture the elusive woodsman for years. In his police mug shot, Knight is clean-shaven, has short-cropped hair and is sporting a style of eyeglasses from the 1980s. It’s a different look than in his photo from the 1984 yearbook from Lawrence High School in Fairfield, Maine.
In it, Knight is wearing horn-rimmed glasses and has long, thick dark hair as he leans against a tree. The blurb accompanying the picture says Knight’s plans were to become a computer technician. But authorities said by the time he was about 19, he’d disappeared into the woods. Authorities say Knight doesn’t show signs of mental illness and they’ve uncovered no other motive for his seclusion except that he wanted to be alone. Knight’s arrest came a little more than a week after the capture of a self-styled mountain man in Utah who shared some of the same traits.

Iron Lady insisted on facing uncomfortable truths “Divisive.” That’s a word that appeared, often prominently, in many news stories reporting the death of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. One senses the writers’ disapproval. You’re not likely to find “divisive” in stories reporting the deaths of liberal leaders, although every electoral politician divides voters. “Divisive” here refers to something specific. It was Margaret Thatcher’s special genius that she systematically rejected the conventional wisdom, almost always well-intentioned, of the political establishment. Instead, she insisted on hard, uncomfortable truths. British Conservatives like Harold Macmillan accepted the tyranny of trade unionism because they had guilty memories of the slaughter of the working-class men who served under them in the trenches in World War I. Thatcher, who as an adolescent before World War II saved money to pay for a Jewish girl to escape from Austria to England, felt no such guilt. She could see that strikes of shipyard workers, auto union members, newspaper printers, gravediggers and garbage collectors were ruining Britain’s economy and undermining democratic governance. She worked hard and patiently, building up coal inventories, to prevent the year-long illegal coal miners’ strike led by Arthur Scargill from shutting down the nation’s power plants. She rejected the idea, fostered by the great and the good of the British ruling class, that ordinary people needed public housing. Instead, she let them buy their houses at favorable rates. She rejected the conventional wisdom that government had to pay for money-losing nationalized industries. Instead, she privatized coal, steel, utilities and transport, and let employees and citizens buy shares in them and partake of the profits. When Argentina’s military dictators occupied the Falkland Islands, she was urged to accept the result. The Falklands were far away, and only 1,800 Britons were affected. But for Thatcher, they were part of the British nation. She would no more allow them to be thrust under a dictator’s heel than she would allow Irish Republican Army terrorists to force Britain out of Northern Ireland against the will of the majority there. Much has been made, and rightly, of Thatcher’s closeness to Ronald Reagan — though they did have their disagreements. They both hated communism and Soviet tyranny. But first Thatcher and then Reagan perceived that Mikhail Gorbachev was, in Thatcher’s words, “someone we can do business with.”
The result was a peaceful end to the Cold War. When Thatcher became prime minister in 1979, the consensus was that Britain was in inevitable decline. She hated that idea and proved that it was wrong. The great and the good never forgave her. They never forgave her either for her suspicion of an ever-closer European Union and opposition to the creation of the Euro currency.Continental elites saw European unity as a way to prevent the horrors of another world war. American elites assumed a United States of Europe would be as benign as the United States of America. Margaret Thatcher disagreed. She believed that the nation-state, with its long heritage of shared values, democratic governance and economic practices, was the essential unit in politics and economics. A single European currency, she argued, could not work in a continent whose nations had different economies, cultures and traditions. In her 1993 and 1995 autobiographies, Joe Weisenthal points out in Business Insider, she recounts the arguments she pressed on her successor, John Major. She noted that Germany “would be worried about the weakening of anti-inflation policies” and that the poorer countries would seek subsidies “if they were going to lose their ability to compete on the basis of a currency that reflected their economic performance.” This has worked out exactly as she expected and warned. Fortunately for Britain, Thatcher’s successors were stopped, perhaps fearing her disapproval, from ditching the pound and lurching into the euro as the great and good almost unanimously advised. “Crunchiness brings wealth,” wrote the Economist’s Nico Colchester. “Wealth leads to sogginess. Sogginess brings poverty. Poverty creates crunchiness.” By crunchiness he meant “systems in which small changes have big effects, leaving those affected by them in no doubt whether they are up or down.” In contrast, “Sogginess is comfortable uncertainty.” Margaret Thatcher was crunchiness personified; that is what reporters are referring to when they say she was “divisive.” Her death is a reminder that elites revel in sogginess and that every nation needs a restorative dose of crunchiness from time to time. Britain got hers from Margaret Thatcher.

LETTERS Corvair had serious engineering flaws but was never ‘banned’ To the editor, James Veverka recently attempted to defend a letter from Barbara Perry of Moultonborough, who wrote a factually inaccurate letter to declare her “hate” for my right to keep and bear arms. James took issue with three letter writers in particular: Greg Knythch, Steve Earle and myself. Okay James, I’ll bite! Besides an excessive amount of immature name calling, your letter only contained a whole lot of malarkey (to borrow a word from Joe “Buy yourself a shotgun” Biden). I did not claim that my right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed”. Those words came from a really old document called the Constitution... perhaps you have heard of it? Yeah, our founding fathers actually attached that “shall not be infringed” disclaimer to our individual right to keep and bear arms. It is the only named right that our founding fathers went to such extremes to protect. They wanted to ensure that “We the people” had the tools necessary to defend against a tyrannical government. The Constitution does contain a mechanism for it to be changed, however, and last time I checked the Second Amendment has not been repealed. So by definition, any law that infringes on my right to keep and bear arms is indeed unconstitutional. The analogy of comparing Corvettes to AR-15s is not all that silly when you consider the arguments against the AR. You know: “It looks so scary; the AR-15 is not used for hunting; no one “needs” an AR, and it’s “built for war”, and other crazy complaints about America’s most popular rifle. That right James, it is simply a rifle, not an “assault weapon”. James, you stated that the Chevy Corvair was “banned” due to safety concerns involving the fuel tank. You are absolutely wrong on several accounts. 1. The Corvair was never “banned” by the government. GM
stopped building the Corvair after sales dramatically dropped due to Ralph Nader’s book exposing safety concerns of the first generation (‘60’63) Corvairs. 2. It is and always has been legal to own and drive a Corvair, in fact I have a friend who purchased one just last year. 3. The safety issues with the early Corvairs were not the fuel tank at all, it was the swingaxle rear suspension and single piece steering column. Look it up! So James, do you have another example of car that was “banned” by the government? The Corvair was a victim of serious engineering flaws, I am not aware of any such flaws with the AR-15. The United States Marine Corps trained me to properly handle and effectively deploy the AR’s brother the M-16A2. I was proud to be trusted with this weapon system as a young Marine, yet now Diane Feinstein and Michael Bloomberg are claiming that I have no right to own a similar rifle to protect my own family and property! Now that’s bunch of malarkey! I actually like Bill Taylor’s comparison of guns and abortion. Each year Planned Parenthood, an organization born out of racism, kills roughly 300,000 babies. Are “liberal progressives”, like James calling for the abolishment of Planned Parenthood? No, they are insisting that this abortion organization has a “right” to millions of our tax dollars! Would James and his ilk ever accept common sense restrictions on abortion? NO CHANCE! James also took a quote from Justice Scalia (whom he calls “Mr. Wackadoodle Wingnut”) way out of context. If anyone goes back and reads the entire opinion they will see that James selectively chose only the language that suits his needs. After reading the entire opinion one will get an entirely different conclusion of Justice Scalia’s opinion. Kevin Leandro Gilford
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 12, 2013 — Page 7
LETTERS I was never welcomed by fellow Alton Parks & Rec. employees To the editor, We have been a proud member of the Alton Business Association from 20102013 and I became an employee of The Parks & Recreation Department of The Town of Alton in 2009, although a resident of Gilmanton. Since 1996, “Super Jukebox’ had been a family Disc Jockey service for private dance parties and we were a constant entry in the annual Christmas and July 4th parade in Laconia. From 2000-04 we broadcast on Sunday afternoon on WEZS 1350 AM from noon to 2 p.m., featuring a variety of music for the whole family called “Music for a Sunday Drive”. When we relocated to Gilmanton in 2004 we opted for the less expensive 24/7 Internet music broadcast. Yes, it was cheaper to broadcast on the Internet 24/7 than to broadcast on local radio for two hours on a Sunday afternoon. We decided to broadcast world wide from the comfort of our own home than to broadcast locally on AM radio for two hours a week. Many people still consider us “stupid” for doing so. We broadcast on the same website we have had since 1996 (www.superjukebox.net) as “Family Entertainment Radio” and we feature music specials not heard in our local aream such as “St. Patrick’s Day”, “Mother’s & Father’s Day”, “Spring & Summer”, “Back 2 School;”, “Halloween”, “Christmas” and more. We feature music variety, specials and requests, unlike local music radio that is owned and operated here in The Lakes Region from out of state. I (Joe Laurendeau) was very proud to be employed in Alton from 2009-13 and I signed up as a member of the ABA. In 2010 we were proud to provide Music to Fireworks at Alton Bay, (see youtube - Alton NH, Alton Bay, NH - Fireworks). We donated a stereo system to the Pearson Road Community Center, Halloween decorations (see youtube Alton, NH - Halloween - 2010 Haunted Town Hall), Christams decorations and Lionell Train Display (see youtube Alton, NH - Light Up Night - Christmas 2012). We never considered our “Family Entertainment Radio” a “business” but a “family hobby”, “community service” and an educational experience for children and a source for senior citizens to find a place to listen and request music they wouldn’t have access to otherwise. In 2011 we donated two dozen “John Stark - Live Free or Die” Bobble Heads to the Town of Alton Parks & Recreation Department for prizes and three brand new artificial Christmas Trees to The Town of Alton along with lights and a display for The Town of Alton’s Parks & Recreation Dept. We planned bigger and better displays and promotions every year and marketing for the ABA, Town of Alton and our “Family Entertainment Radio” family hobby, however we were treated in a negative and hostile manner by employees of the Alton Parks & Recreation Department. Although our community spirit was appreciated by everyone except The Parks & Recreation Department, my employment with the town had to cease due to constant hostility, resentment and uncooperative nature of department employees. When working for a town government a “taxpayer” and/or “town resident” gets preferential treatment against a non-resident even when accused of “bullying”, “harassment”,
“unprofessional” or “unco-operative” behavior within the department. Some department directors even encourage unprofessional behavior in order to create a situation where a professional employee may become an unhappy employee allowing the opportunity for changing the employees work schedule from full time to part time and from 3rd shift to 2nd shift causing an otherwise model employee to find employment elsewhere or have their position terminated for reasons that are unfounded. I couldn’t have been a happier employee for The Town of Alton and I tried to use my positive attitude to benefit the town’s children with the Halloween and Christmas displays, however town employees found that offensive and became extremely hostile towards me. That caused me to bring the problem to my supervisor and my supervisor to determine that I was the problem and that my job needed to become 2nd shift and part-time to save the town money? I had introduced a chemical cleaning system (Hillyard Arsenal) that saved the town over $1,000 a year and it was met with anger by member of the grounds and maintenance staff. I was hired as a professional custodian and at my interview I was asked “can you make decisions”, “can you work alone”, “can you work 3rd shift”, “do you have experience”, “what else can you offer”? Although I did everything I was asked to (and more) at my interview it became apparent that whatever I said or did would be met with objections. It was also brought to my attention on my first day of employment that “town employees get paid more than we do and the don’t do (expletive) and we do all the work”! That was a constant comment as I was being trained my first week. I later found out that my shift and weekend differential paid me more than employees who had been there for over five years and they resented that. Although I was working 11-7 a.m. W-M and they were scheduled 7-3 p.m. M-T they made it clear to me that I “clean toilets” at night and they operate lawn equipment in the HOT sun! As the complaints from town employees that were “taxpayers” against me were unfounded they outweighed all the donations and extra efforts I and my family made to become a positive force in the Town of Alton. We will focus on other town’s as we consider town’s of our employment as our “home away from home” and Alton has been my “home away from home” since 2010 although I see I’ve never been welcomed by the Town of Alton Parks & Recreation Department and I know there was nothing I could do to change that. There is small-town politics or just “disgruntled” town employees who are “taxpayers” who will be offended at any opportunity and consider any employee who has a positive or community spirit as a “negative”. Because my wife works and gets health insurance through the State of N.H., I was given a refund in January which saved the town thousands of dollars but was offensive to other town employees as I was given a bonus above and beyond their bonus? They were given a family insurance policy which cost the town between $10-$12,000. a year and I got a “kick back” bonus of $3,000. in January, saving the town
thousands of dollars but was offensive to town employees. Since my first day of employment I had to deal with resentment within the Parks & Recreation Department but it wasn’t until my position was “terminated” and re-listed as part-time and second shift that I realized that the town manipulated people and families to meet their agenda. We did everything to give
the Town of Alton the most “Bang for their Buck”! Thanks to all the friends I’ve made and I encourage y’all to keep in contact. Visit “Joe Laurendeau” or “Family Entertainment Radio” on Facebook today. Listen today at www.superjukebox.net Thanks for your support! Joe Laurendeau Gilmanton
Baffles me that environmentalists are in bed with huge corporations To the editor, It baffles me that “environmentalist” seem so eager to do business with the same huge profit-driven corporations that have already done so much to destroy the planet. It baffles me that local residents are going to allow their lovely ridge-lines to be covered in monstrous industrial power plants. It baffles me that decommissioning costs are not even being discussed. It baffles me that our watersheds are at risk and no one is talking about it. It baffles me that articles from bordering states are not being read by our politicians and taken into concern here. It baffles me that big-wind supporters have bought into the rapacious corporate mindset of think big. It baffles me that he U.S. Government is granting subsidies to publicly traded green energy companies and that it benefits corporate America, as always. It baffles me that conservation isn’t being discussed. It baffles me that we
don’t just expand on our own bio-plants in the area and create more local jobs. It baffles me that people don’t see the benefits of our forests, our wildlife and our treasured waterways. It baffles me that if we are entering into the next “new phase” of energy — for both wind and solar — why are we excluding our children from the process? It baffles me that we are not building them near our local schools and colleges to better educate our children? It baffles me that this state has yet to start a technical school “class” on wind turbines. It baffles me that ski resorts aren’t leasing their land for a few extra million dollars a year? They have high mountains and lots of space. Alas, it baffles me that this is all being done to benefit big business. What baffles you? What ever happened to “small is beautiful”?

Timmons Team organizing to raise money for BU Alzheimer Research To the editor, Families are increasingly struggling with the emotional, medical, and financial cost of Alzheimer’s and related diseases such as Parkinson’s It has been reported that Alzheimer’s disease tops cancer and heart disease in expense and that young people as young as their twenties are being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The Timmons Team in Northfield is organizing an event to raise funds for the Boston University Alzheimer Research Center’s study of the disease. Ginny Timmons, who has been diagnosed as being in the early stage of Alzheimer’s and is involved in the B.U. study, has enlisted the help of the family and friends to spread the word
and raiser money to financially support the B.U. study. We are working toward a June 23rd 5K competitive run, fun/run, and walk along the scenic Winnipesaukee River between Northfield and Tilton ending in Franklin. This endeavor has the enthusiastic support of Tilton, Northfield, and the Franklin police chiefs, as well as many citizens. For more information, please go to the web sites: www.thetimmonsteam. com or millenniumrunning.com. Our goal is to raise as much money for the B.U. Alzheimer Research Center study as possible with the profound wish that this terrible disease will be cured. Josephine Nichols Northfield

GUNS from page 2 —Negotiators for the two parties said they had reached agreement on the major elements of a Senate immigration bill they’re expected to unveil next week. —The top Republican in government, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, publicly disagreed with his party campaign chairman’s criticism of Obama’s budget proposal to trim future Social Security and Medicare benefits. Wednesday night, GOP senators left a White House dinner praising Obama for reaching out to them on his budget. —Senators of both parties had a rare joint luncheon to honor Arizona Sen. John McCain, the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee, on the 40th anniversary of his release from a North Vietnamese prison. Hoping to bring pressure on Congress to act on gun control, supporters of new restrictions have been demonstrating in Washington. They have erected a mock graveyard with thousands of crosses on the National Mall, symbolizing victims of gun violence. The Senate’s firearms bill would subject nearly all gun buyers to background checks, add muscle to federal laws barring illicit firearm sales and provide slightly more money for school safety measures. Excluded and facing near-certain defeat in upcoming votes were proposals to ban military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines — factors in the Newtown killings some other recent mass shootings. But keeping those provisions out of the current legislation did not mollify critics. Opponents said the remaining proposals were unwarranted intrusions on the Second Amendment right to bear arms, would be ignored by criminals and would do little to prevent future Newtowns. Obama’s plans have received scant support from Republicans and many moderate Democrats, with many saying they prefer improvements in dealing with the mentally ill and stronger enforcement of existing laws.

LETTERS We thank Laconia school children for their BOW WOW Fest art To the editor, I, along with my two co-coordinators Ann Saltmarsh of Laconia Public Works and Janet Brough of SAU 30 and the WOW Trail Board of Directors, wish to thank the children of Holy Trinity and Grade 5 of Woodland Heights. It is through the efforts of their art teachers, Kate Criscone and Gretchen Caruso respectively, that for the third year these dedicated mentors and their burgeoning artists have graced our posters that are now interspersed throughout area businesses.
Their thoughtful and intuitive approach to how they view a pooch parade warms the heart and puts a smile on everyone’s face. All posters will be displayed at the parking lot of the Opechee Inn & Spa during the BOW WOW Fest held this year on Saturday, May 4, beginning with registration at 7:30.

Our king (school superintendent) deserves his own (Kimball) castle To the editor, I was saddened to read about the impending demise of the Kimball Castle in Thursday’s paper. It’s really too bad that after all this time nothing could be made of this once-grand, historical piece of property. I did have a thought, though. How about if we spend a few bucks and turn the castle into a new office for the Gilford School District
SAU? After all, since we pay the superintendent a king’s ransom in salary, wouldn’t giving him his very own castle from which to operate his kingdom be fitting? We all know that the Rowe House was unworthy, but surely this grand edifice would suffice? Doug Lambert Gilford
LEADERSHIP from page one the sugaring house and do some trail maintenance. ‘’It’s a good chance to meet kids from other schools and to learn about leadership while doing something good for the community,’’ said Kayla Vieten, 16, of Laconia, who was raking mulch to cover the ground around plants and shrubs near the entryway to the Samuel Pardoe building, which has a geothermal heating and cooling system, a symbol of the center’s commitment to the environment. ‘’We’re learning some great skills which we can put to work in our own communities,’’ said D.J. Parker of InterLakes High School, who was working with Kelsey Coppinger of Moultonborough Academy and Logan Goewey of Sandwich, another Inter-Lakes High student, to help spread mulch. ‘’It’s a good reason to not be in a classroom today. We’re doing something useful,’’ said Parker. Coppinger said that the early morning sessions were useful in showing the students what it takes to be a leader and ‘’how to make people work together to get things done.’’ Jalisah Smith of Center Harbor said that the day’s activities helped students get a sense of what it takes to be an effective leader and that she was grateful for being able to take part. Bob Ewell, a retired educator who coordinates the program for the Lakes Region Rotary Club, said that the club has been running the youth leadership program for the last 15 years and has teamed up with the Prescott Farm Center for the last several years.
‘’The goal is to make it more comfortable for them (the students) to be leaders by encouraging them to do things like speak in front of a group and learn teamwork skills by working together in community service projects.’’ said Ewell. Sarah Dunham, executive director of the center, said that she was pleased to see the response of the students to the program. ‘’It’s great to get young people involved,’’ said Dunham, who said that the program is part of the outreach efforts of the center, which is located on a 160-acre site which includes field and wooded areas and has nature trails which are open to the public at no cost year-round. The center also offers a variety of educational programs and day camp experiences for young people. She said that Prescott Farm has been in the Prescott family since 1796 when Colonel Dudley Prescott was given the land as a Revolutionary War land grant. For many years the family lived on and farmed the land, growing what they needed and selling surplus milk, butter and cheese. Though farming ceased at Prescott Farm in the 1950s, the family now spends vacations at the farm and preserves the property under the auspices of Prescott Conservancy, Inc. and Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center (PFEEC). Dunham said that educators at PFEEC try to give visitors a sense of place by integrating both the cultural and natural history of the property into all educational programs.
UMEMPLOYMENT from page 2 to year. That makes it hard to adjust for school holidays and other changes that can cause temporary layoffs. Applications had risen two weeks ago to 388,000, the highest level in four months. That spike “appears to have been a false alarm,” Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said in a note to clients. “The report should assuage some of the
concerns raised by last week’s weaker-thanexpected data, particularly payrolls.” Employers added only 88,000 jobs in March, the government said last week. That followed four months in which job growth averaged 220,000. Last week’s drop in applications for unemployment aid could signal that hiring is picking up in April. O’Sullivan noted that the average is near its level for the first three months of the year, when job gains averaged 168,000 a month.

HEIMLICH from page one said Bickford, explaining that a chunk of beef became lodged in his throat. He couldn’t cough it up, and a few sips of soda didn’t help, either. “Then I couldn’t breathe,” he said. “I heard the coughing. At first I thought nothing of it,” recalled Hibbard. He thought the coughing was from “Angel,” the family dog. When he heard his dad banging on the desk, though, he knew something was wrong. Still, he didn’t know how much trouble Bickford was in until he asked the teenager to dial 9-1-1. As soon as he placed the call, Hibbard’s mind immediately thought of the lesson he learned more than six months prior in the Life Skills class. “I put the phone down and did the Heimlich,” said Hibbard. “He’s pretty strong, he did it good,” said Bickford, reporting that the chunk of food became dislodged within the first two thrusts to his abdomen. Thanks to Hibbard’s quick actions, the danger was averted long before paramedics even had enough time to leave the station. Bob Laraway, lieutenant for the Belmont Fire Department, was part of the crew that responded to the emergency call — it’s common industry practice for police and paramedics to respond even when the caller reports that everything’s fine. He said that Hibbard’s actions were life-saving. “We’re very glad that he didn’t hesitate, he did the right thing at the right time. He kept a presence of mind that is commendable for a 14 year-old.” When someone’s choking, Laraway continued, “Time is of the essence. If someone is truly choking, he’s going to be oxygen deprived within three or four minutes,” he said, adding that there are many parts of town that emergency personnel will require 10 minutes to reach. “It makes a huge difference when someone steps up and does the right thing.” Laraway said that members of the public who are interested in learning life-saving skills could look to the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, or call the Belmont Fire Department for information about classes. Farrell, the Life Skills teacher, didn’t always teach these skills in her class. She started a few years ago when a student in her class began to choke on food. “The kids were all laughing about it, and I was really upset.” So, she decided to teach her students how serious choking can be, and what they should do if someone around them finds themselves unable to breathe. Farrell plans to retire from teaching at the end of this school year. She heard about Hibbard’s actions when his mother called her to thank Farrell for
Kaleb Hibbard, shown here at center, saved his father Everett Bickford from choking by using a technique he learned as an eighth grader at Belmont Middle School.

teaching him the life-saving skill. “It’s just amazing. He’s a wonderful kid... He’s a great student, I really enjoyed having him in class, I’m really happy for him and his family.” “I’m just glad I saved him,” said Hibbard, who said he went back to watching the basketball game on
Saturday night once the excitement had ebbed. “I’m just glad he was paying attention in school that day,” said Bickford. “I’m very proud of him for stepping up and not panicking. He’s a good kid. I’m thrilled that he did what he did,” said Hibbard-Bickford.
CONCORD (AP) — The U.S. Navy is naming a new combat ship the USS Manchester in recognition of Manchester,. The surface combat vessel is designed for operation in near-shore environments, yet capable of open-ocean operation. They are designed to defeat threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft.
The decision, announced Thursday, was praised by the state’s congressional delegation. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the naming is a testament to the incredible work carried out by New Hampshire’s men and women who serve in uniform. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said the people of Manchester and all New Hampshire residents should be proud of the honor. The ship is expected to be completed in August 2016.

Huot to chair subcommittee looking at aspects of casino bill CONCORD — Joint Committee Chairwoman Mary Jane Wallner (D-Concord) on Thursday named Rep. David Huot (D-Laconia) to chair a N.H. House subcommittee charged with examining the regulation aspect of SB-152 – legislation that would allow for one licensed casino to operate in New Hampshire. She said the committee will focus on the casino license bidding process, regulations, oversight, accountability and enforcement. Huot is an attorney who served for years as district court judge. No so-called expanded gambling bill has ever passed the house but Speaker Terie Norelli has charged Wallner’s Joint Committee with thoroughly
examining the proposal that has come over from the Senate. Both the two-year budget submitted by Governor Maggie Hassan and the budget adopted by the Senate include $80-million from a one-time casino operating license fee. The House not include any casino-related revenue. The two other subcommittees formed by Wallner will focus on revenue and community impact. On April 17, the Joint Committee will convene in Room 210-211 of the Legislative Office Building at 9:30 a.m. for presentations from experts in the field and to discuss the process and focus for each of the subcommittees.
PILLS from page one Affidavits said Blanchette saw bulges in both of his front pickets and square items in his back pocket. He also saw a pill crusher and three cell phones on the front seat of his car and the top of a glass pipe he recognized to be the type used in methamphetaimine usage in one of Geraci’s pants pockets. Affidavits said Geraci had white powder around his right nostril. Blanchette said he pretended not to see the top of the glass pipe and asked Geraci if he would consent to being searched, said affidavits. Geraci said “no” and affidavits Blanchette retrieved the glass pipe and placed him under arrest. During the initial search, he found 73 oxycodone pills, a metallic pipe with white residue and a $2,719 in cash. During an inventory search of the car, affidavits said Blanchette found a methamphetamine pipe in the center console and stopped searching the car. He said he impounded it and got a search warrant. During the search of the car police found methamphetamine, 800 30-milligrams pills of oxycodone, 50 15-milligram pills of oxycodone, 75 more 15-milligram pills of oxycodone, and a .38 caliber handgun. Affidavits said Geraci has convictions for conduct after an accident and criminal mischief. With his father in the courtroom, Geraci appeared by video arraignment wearing sunglasses. He said little and appeared to stare straight into the camera moving only to yawn. Judge Jim Carroll said he would try to make the hearing go quickly because the court “wouldn’t want to keep him up.”
Sheriff’s Department Prosecutor Deputy James McIntire argued for $25,000 cash saying Geraci possessed items that were representative of drug enterprise activity and they included a loaded handgun. He also successfully argued for a source of funds hearing if Geraci posts bail. He was represented by Jared Berdick of the Sisti Ryan Geraci Law Offices who argued (Belknap County Sheriff there was no reason Geraci photo) wouldn’t appear in court and asked for $2,000 to $3,000 cash and bail conditions. He argued Geraci was “no danger to society.” He said Geraci’s father had agreed to take all of the guns out of his Sagamore Road home and lock them elsewhere and in a place where his son couldn’t access them. After finding probable cause for all of the charges except one count of possession of marijuana, Carroll told Geraci that that he was a “supreme danger to society” and he feared he had reason to flee. Sheriff Craig Wiggin praised Blanchette saying that, “Given the volume of narcotics and cash, this was a significant arrest, one which will help put a dent in illegal drug activity here in the Lakes Region. This was an outstanding arrest by an alert deputy.”
NORTH KOREA from page 2 on the Korean Peninsula and threaten international peace and security,” the ministers said in a statement. In the capital of neighboring South Korea, the country’s point person on relations with the North, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae, urged Pyongyang to engage in dialogue and reverse its decision to pull workers from a joint industrial park just north of their shared border, a move that has brought factories there to a standstill. “We strongly urge North Korea not to exacerbate the crisis on the Korean Peninsula,” Ryoo said. North Korea probably has advanced its nuclear
knowhow to the point where it could arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead, but the weapon wouldn’t be very reliable, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency has concluded. The DIA assessment was revealed Thursday at a public hearing in Washington. President Barack Obama warned the unpredictable communist regime that his administration would “take all necessary steps” to protect American citizens. In his first public comments since North Korea escalated its rhetoric, Obama urged the north to end its nuclear threats, saying it was time for the isolated nation “to end the belligerent approach they have taken and to try to lower temperatures.”

At Fenway, Orioles again prove masters of 1 run game BOSTON (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles used the same formula Thursday night that made them such a surprising success last season. They counted on a strong effort from the bullpen and pulled out a onerun win. Chris Davis hit his sixth homer and Adam Jones drove in two runs, including a tiebreaking double, to lead Baltimore past the Boston Red Sox 3-2. After going 29-9 in one-run games last season, the Orioles improved to 1-3 this year. Davis and Jones extended their torrid starts for the Orioles, who took two of three games in Boston. The pair has combined for 30 of Baltimore’s 85 hits. Jones is 18 for 39 this season (.462). Dustin Pedroia and Mike Napoli had consecutive RBI singles for the Red Sox, who dropped a series for the first time after taking two of three on the road from both the New York Yankees and Toronto. The teams played on a chilly night with a gametime temperature of 45 degrees and Fenway Park only about two-thirds full a night after a record sellout streak ended. The paid attendance was 27,704,
the smallest crowd at Fenway since April 16, 2003. The Orioles broke a 2-all tie on Jones’ RBI double in the seventh. Manny Machado had a two-out single off reliever Clayton Mortensen (0-1). Andrew Miller relieved and walked Nick Markakis. Jones then lined reliever Koji Uehara’s first pitch into the left-field corner. That was all the Orioles bullpen needed to close it out. Brian Matusz (1-0) struck out the only two batters he faced and got the win. Jim Johnson pitched the ninth in a light rain for his fourth save. Baltimore starter Chris Tillman lasted 5 1-3 innings, giving up two runs and six hits. He walked two and struck out five. Boston fill-in starter Alfredo Aceves pitched five innings, allowing two runs and six hits while walking three and striking out four. He took the spot of John Lackey, placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday after straining his right biceps in his previous start.
N.H. auto dealers push for their own ‘bill of rights’ CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire auto dealers urged lawmakers Tuesday to intervene on their behalf and pass a bill they say would give them greater flexibility and control in contracts with giant auto manufacturers. Members of the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association said at a news conference at the Capitol that they currently have no leverage in agreements they sign with manufacturers. They said manufacturers can require them to pay for costly renovations using materials from out-of-state vendors that could otherwise be purchased locally. “Even though it’s my money being invested, I have little say in how it’s spent,” Andy Crews with the Autofiar Automotive Group, who attended the news conference, said in a statement. “If I don’t follow the rules of exclusivity and vendor agreements then the manufacturers threaten to pull inventory.” The group urged House lawmakers to pass a Senate-approved bill the dealers say would bring greater fairness to their agreements with manufacturers. The bill passed by a 21-2 margin in late March. The House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee plans to hold a hearing on the measure April 16. Association President Pat McNamara said other
states have similar laws to protect local franchises from unfair practices by out-of-state manufacturers. Senate President Peter Bragdon, a Milford Republican, was one of the two no-votes. He said in a phone interview Tuesday that the state should not get involved in existing contracts between private businesses. The New Hampshire proposal would allow dealers to purchase supplies locally, require manufacturers to share performance reviews with dealers, and allow greater intervals between showroom upgrades. Proponents of the so-called dealer bill of rights say that requiring dealers to renovate showrooms every three to five years — as manufacturers now typically do — places unreasonable costs on them. But Bragdon said the bill’s proposed 15-year interval goes too far, surpassing the usual span of about seven years set in other states. McNamara said 15 years is appropriate and will pass savings on to consumers. He said a business’ facade is not as important to consumers as the product and price. According to association figures, the group represents nearly 570 businesses in New Hampshire, which do a combined $3.8 billion in retail sales, or 24 percent of all retail sales in the state.

Cape town may be 1st to tear down wind turbines BOSTON (AP) — A Cape Cod town that once considered its first wind turbine the crowning achievement of its climate protection plan may become the first community in the country to tear its turbines down. The Falmouth selectmen’s board chair, Kevin Murphy, flatly calls the project a failure. And the board is backing a proposal to borrow $14 million to dismantle the original turbine, which began spinning in 2010, and a newer one. From the start, neighbors have complained about noise from the turbines. They also attribute a range of physical and mental health problems to them. But other residents report no problems. Some in town say it’s far too soon to tear down a critical renewable energy project they estimate could produce $450,000 in annual revenue through energy production and renewable energy certificates. “It’s pit neighbor against neighbor,� Murphy said. On Tuesday, Falmouth’s 243-member Town Meeting assembly was to decide whether the question about borrowing the money to dismantle the turbines should be put to voters in a May referendum. The American Wind Energy Association, which says it promotes wind energy as a clean source of electricity, said it’s the first time any town has considered taking down its turbines. That’s because such projects have such clear financial and environmental rewards, spokeswoman Ellen Carey said. “People across the country are supportive of wind energy and are benefiting economically,� she said. Both turbines are built at the town’s waste water treatment plant and provide power for it. The original turbine was the first municipal utility-scale turbine in Massachusetts. Falmouth resident Mark Cool, who lives near the turbine site, said persistent headaches started as soon as it began running. He described some so penetrating he felt he needed “to drill a hole in my head to get some sort of relief.� The 54-year-old air traffic controller didn’t link the turbines to his headaches until his neighbors
began talking about similar symptoms. Cool began a journal, recording variables such as wind direction and headache duration, eventually concluding the headaches occurred only when the wind put him in a turbine’s wake. In May 2012, 47 people told a board of health hearing about various problems they blamed on the turbines, including sleep deprivation, vertigo and memory loss. But 15 others said there were no problems. Cool said he doesn’t think there’s science to substantiate negative effects from turbines. In pushing for their removal, he points to what he said is indisputable, such as noise problems that led the town in May 2012 to shut the turbines down for 12 hours each night. A state study later concluded the turbines’ decibel level was too high at one of its testing sites. Murphy said the reduced hours mean the turbines now lose $100,000 a year. Worse, Murphy said, is the corrosive town-wide division caused by the turbines, which he said taints any renewable energy plans. It’s worth it, he said, to borrow the $14 million to get rid of what he calls symbols of failure. “Any time (residents) ride by those wind turbines they’re reminded of how divided this community is,� he said. “We need to get rid of the division and move forward.� But Falmouth resident Megan Amsler said the debate has not split the town. Amsler, who served on a town committee that devised ways to mitigate the turbines’ impact, said a silent majority in Falmouth wants to keep the turbines. But a vocal minority has made it something Falmouth can’t even agree to disagree about, she said. Amsler added that tearing down the turbines will set a horrible national precedent. Banks will get skittish about financing renewables if a project with the broad local support, like Falmouth’s, can be quickly dismantled by a small group, she said. “This will reverberate throughout the United States,� Amsler said.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A grocery store employee said Thursday that he is thanking God and his belt buckle for saving him from a stray bullet that smashed through the market’s front door. The bullet lodged in the metal buckle worn by Bienvenido Reynoso, who had only recently started his job at 8 Brothers Supermarket in Philadelphia. “It saved my life,� Reynoso said of the belt. “I keep it for (my) whole life now.� Reynoso, 38, said he was about to wheel a hand truck outside the market in the city’s Grays Ferry section when he heard gunshots around 4 p.m. Wednesday. He hit the floor.
Surveillance footage shows a man on a bike firing a gun outside the market. One person outside the store was hit in the abdomen and was hospitalized in critical condition, police said. At first, Reynoso didn’t realize he could have been a second victim. “When I check my body, I don’t see nothing, no blood, nothing,� he said in an interview at his home Thursday. “And I said I’m going to be OK.� Then someone noticed a hole at the bottom of Reynoso’s shirt. That’s when he found the bullet stuck to his belt buckle.

Join the 400 Club to keep Gilmanton library open
GILMANTON — Cardholders and friends of the Gilmanton Year-Round Library are invited to join the “400 Club” to help cover operating costs for the Library through the forthcoming year. Dues are $100 per member. Four hundred members will raise $40,000, enough to offset most of the gap when voters failed to support the Library on the 2013 Town ballot. Obligations of membership are simple: promise to inform neighbors and friends about the library and urge them to support the library as a vital asset to the town Already more than 10 members are on board. The purpose is to keep the library open at its existing level of service. Other fundraising events will be held throughout the year to provide more opportunities to raise the needed money for this year as well
as additional funds to be put towards next year’s costs. The library’s operating budget of $70,500 is significantly less than the budgets of public libraries in surrounding towns. A modest endowment supports the cost of utilities. The board has managed to operate the library on this slim budget because volunteers have provided everything from cleaning services, lawn and grounds maintenance, to book cataloging. To join the 400 Club, just send a check for $100 made out to the Gilmanton Year-Round Library Association (GYRLA) and send it to the library at 1385 NH Route 140, Gilmanton Iron Works, NH 03837. The library is a not-for-profit tax exempt organization under state and federal law, and the donations are tax deductible.

OBITUARIES
Viola L. Corriveau, 91 BELMONT — On April 10th, 2013, Viola Louise (Smith) Corriveau, 91, joined her beloved husband Bob in God’s Kingdom, while surrounded by her loving family, “the best family in the whole wide world.” She resided at 9 Fred Friend Road.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My sister, “Suzie,” has always been a bit of a flower child, and my parents think it’s funny. Suzie dropped out of high school to pursue her “career” in something -- art, music, dance, yoga, whatever. I usually gave her a place to stay when she got evicted and didn’t want our parents to know, which was pretty often. Suzie and her husband (I’m not sure whether they’re legally married) have been better since my nephews were born. What concerns me is that she won’t take the kids to the doctor when they get sick. She just gives them some herbal remedy and sends them to bed. The boys aren’t very clean, often have the sniffles and are almost always in clothing that’s the wrong size. Suzie is homeschooling the boys, even though neither she nor her husband graduated high school. My oldest nephew is 7 and cannot read, count to 10 or say his ABCs. Suzie insists that the children be fed only vegan and organic products. When the boys stay with us, which is fairly often lately, we feed them healthy balanced meals that they wolf down like they’re starving. The oldest boy told me they usually eat oatmeal with some peanut butter in it. I believe both boys are anemic. The family has, on occasion, lived in their car. Suzie recently said they are going to “live on the road” for a while and the boys will adjust. I think my nephews are being neglected. She’s leaving the boys with me for two weeks this summer, and I’m tempted to have Child Protective Services evaluate them. My wife agrees. My parents don’t. I’m scared Suzie will bolt with the kids if she gets wind of my suspicions. She’s done it before.I want the best for my nephews. How do I go about it? -- W.C. Dear W.C.: Don’t wait until summer. Call Child Protective Services anonymously, and ask them to investigate the home environment now. (You need not inform your parents.) CPS
may determine that the kids are in a loving, healthy-enough environment, in which case, please stop trying to wrest control from Suzie, and concentrate instead on making your home a safe, stable place for your nephews. And if CPS determines that the kids need to be removed from Suzie’s care, we hope you will offer to take them. Dear Annie: My wife and I recently went out for dinner with her parents, who are healthy active seniors. Upon being seated, they spent the entire evening commenting on others. Engaging them in conversation was impossible. Every time we’ve gone out with her parents, they have complained afterward: The restaurant was too noisy, crowded, hot, cold, drafty, dark, the portions were too small, cold, spicy, the service was slow, the seating was uncomfortable, etc. I don’t know why they bother dining out when they never seem to enjoy it. I find their behavior rude and insulting and have told my wife not to expect my attendance at any future restaurant meals. She thinks I am being unreasonable, that that is just “who they are.” I realize they are not going to change, but after nearly 20 years of this, I say count me out. Any suggestions? -- At My Wits’ End Dear Wits’ End: These are your wife’s parents. Please be more tolerant, although you don’t need to punish yourself. For your wife’s sake, be willing to endure their “company” a few times a year. You can decline the rest of the time. Dear Annie: Bravo to “Frustrated Viewer in Canada” for complaining about the TV networks playing music over the dialogue and the actors who mumble and talk with their backs to the camera. Producers might be interested to know that a lot of us have gone back to reading books instead of watching the programs we used to enjoy. -- Nancy

share it. Those without your powers of discernment will be watching you for cues. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While striving for greatness in a pursuit, it is only natural and necessary to know what isn’t helping and to be critical of that. Mastery moves beyond that criticism and begins accepting once more the so-called “defects.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You sometimes want to hear that the other person is sorry. Note that you don’t need this; you just want it because it allows you to quickly get past what you perceive as a slight. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 12). You’ll get serious with relationships both personal and professional. The next seven weeks are about buckling into commitment, and it’s a secure feeling once all is resolved. June brings a trade. The investment you make in your physical environment will pay off in three years. August brings laughter and friendly good times. Taurus and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 2, 22 and 17.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be surprised at the ones who contact you. How do these people even know about you? They don’t. The data information of you may reach far, but only those privileged to be close to you really know you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even though you would like to say you are a believer, the more accurate reality is that you have an open mind. If it’s proved to you, you will believe it. If not, you will be an open-minded person anticipating proof. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are on the road to greatness. How do you know this? Many people you have touched have continued on to greatness. You saw it in them all along. You see it in you, too. Don’t lose faith. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People like to say that it’s the things you don’t do that you’ll regret later. But those people haven’t experienced unfortunate consequences of truly foolish and impulsive action. Safety first now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You think the world of someone. But should you? Today you’ll gain more perspective and perhaps discover that it’s best to put stock in the one you know better: you! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No prize makes you happier than knowing you have earned it. The integrity and loyalty of your ways will be proved once more in today’s unfolding of events. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid the tendency to complicate things. The answers will be astonishingly simple now, but they may not be the answers you want to hear. Accepting them regardless is a superhuman feat. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can’t help how you feel, but a funny thing happens once you accept and express those feelings. They change. Today, instead of pouting, sing the blues. It’s more powerful, and people actually like to hear it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you know that you don’t know, you’re ahead of those who assume they do. Also, there are times to pretend like you understand what’s going on, but today you’re better off raising your hand and asking questions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have the complete package, including the judgment that tells you when and how to

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 12, 2013
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, April 12, the 102nd day of 2013. There are 263 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 12, 1963, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested and jailed in Birmingham, Ala., charged with contempt of court and parading without a permit. (During his time behind bars, King wrote his “Letter from Birmingham Jail”; he was released on bond on April 20.) 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 1861, the American Civil War began as Confederate forces opened fire on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. In 1862, Union volunteers 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. 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 1912, Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, died in Glen Echo, Md., at age 90. 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. Former world heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis died in Las Vegas, Nev., at age 66. In 1983, Chicagoans went to the polls to elect Harold Washington the city’s first black mayor. Ten years ago: Finance officials from the seven richest industrial countries, meeting in Washington, agreed to support a new U.N. Security Council resolution as part of a global effort to rebuild Iraq and promised to begin talks on reducing Iraq’s massive foreign debt burden. Rescued POW Jessica Lynch returned to the United States after treatment at a U.S. military hospital in Germany. Five years ago: Democrat Barack Obama conceded that comments he’d made privately during a fundraiser about bitter working class voters who “cling to guns or religion” were ill chosen. Boston College won the NCAA hockey championship, 4-1, over Notre Dame. One year ago: Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, charged with second-degree murder, made his first courtroom appearance in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Jury selection began in Greensboro, N.C., for the corruption trial of former presidential candidate John Edwards, charged with six counts of campaign finance fraud. (The jury ended up acquitting Edwards of accepting illegal campaign contributions but deadlocking on the other five counts.)
