Single mom with sick child gets van-buying dollar stretched by local dealer

Grange unearths historic Meredith Center water trough

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Getting a drink at the old water trough may not be a thing of the past in Meredith Center any longer.

As part of the restoration and renovation of the Wicwas Lake Grange building and its surrounding area, volunteers this week removed the barely visible old granite trough built sometime before 1909 and the poured concrete base built to hold it in 1930.

“We knew it was there,” said Grange Master Steve Duncan, referring to a spot just off the intersection of Meredith Center Road and Corliss Hill Road. “The tank was still sticking up.”

Duncan photographed the entire operation and said the granite bowl, which appears to be about 18-inches tall and about 3-by-3 feet in length, set atop the rectangular base that is about twice as long but of the same width as the bowl, presented quite a surprise.

“It was too heavy for the excavator,” Duncan said, adding he and the other volunteers kept digging and digging while trying to find the bottom of the base.

“We never looked underground because it was frozen,” he said, adding the project began in January and the base was buried much deeper than they thought.

To the rescue was mason Knut Ingemundsen of Ossipee and Randy Bickford of contractor WF Richards & Sons with a see trOuGH page 8

LONDON (AP) — Opponents of the late Margaret Thatcher are taking a kind of musical revenge on the former prime minister, pushing the song “Ding Dong!

The Witch is Dead” up the British charts in a posthumous protest over her polarizing policies.

By Friday the online campaign had propelled the “Wizard of Oz” song to No. 1 on British iTunes and into the top five of the music chart used by the BBC to compile its weekly radio countdown.

David Karpf, who studies online campaigns, said the chart battle was an example of a new kind of protest enabled by social media — “A way for people to signal protest en masse without shouting from the rooftops.”

“It’s a form of symbolic protest,” he said.

The unusual campaign has caused a headache for the BBC. With the ditty near the top of the charts, the broadcaster faced the see SONG page 7

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a stark warning to North Korea on Friday not to test-fire a mid-range missile, while tamping down anxiety caused by a new U.S. intelligence report suggesting significant progress in the communist regime’s nuclear weapons program.

Kicking off four days of talks in an East Asia beset by increasing North Korean threats, Kerry told reporters in Seoul that Pyongyang and its enigmatic young leader would only increase their isolation if they

launched the missile that American officials believe has a range of some 2,500 miles — or enough to reach the U.S. territory of Guam.

“If Kim Jong Un decides to launch a missile, whether it’s across the Sea of Japan or some other direction, he will be choosing willfully to ignore the entire international community,” Kerry told reporters. “And it will be a provocation and unwanted act that will raise people’s temperatures.”

If the trajectory of the test missile suggests that it could be a threat to either the U.S.

or allies, the military would move to shoot it down from one of nine warships armed with sophisticated ballistic missile defense systems in the Pacific, including two that were moved closer to the Korean peninsula, U.S. officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss military plans.

Kerry said the test would be a “huge mistake” for Kim. “It will further isolate his country and further isolate his people who are despersee N KOREA page 9

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s plan to raise Medicare premiums for upper-income seniors would create five new income brackets to squeeze more revenue for the government from the top tiers of retirees, the administration revealed Friday.

First details of the plan emerged after Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified to Congress on the president’s budget. As released two

days earlier, the budget included only a vague description of a controversial proposal that has grown more ambitious since Obama last floated it.

“Means testing” has been part of Medicare since the George W. Bush administration, but ramping it up is bound to stir controversy. Republicans are intrigued, but most Democrats don’t like the idea.

The plan itself is complicated. The bottom line is not: more money for the gov-

ernment.

Obama’s new budget calls for raising $50 billion over 10 years by increasing monthly “income-related” premiums for outpatient and prescription drug coverage. The comparable number last year was $28 billion over the decade.

Currently, single beneficiaries making more than $85,000 a year and couples earning more than $170,000 pay higher premisee MEDICARE page 8

Danville police chief faces charge after teen shoots himself with unlocked gun

BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) — Authorities say the police chief in Danville, N.H., has been charged with the negligent storage of firearms at his home after a 15-year-old boy fatally shot himself there.

Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams said Chief Wade Parsons allegedly

failed to secure his loaded service weapon when leaving his house to conduct errands while knowing that a juvenile was there.

“He put it on top of his safe in his closet, but that’s not good enough, obviously,” Reams told WMUR-TV He added it should have been put in the safe or a gun lock

Guns, God & background checks I happened to be sitting in the Fox News bureau between “hits” on Tuesday morning, when the news broke about the stabbing at Lone Star College in Houston. Watching it unfold in real time, I couldn’t help but think (as I’m sure all of us did) about the Newtown, Conn., massacre and the families flying to Washington and the fear that the parents of the Texas college students must be feeling.

The difference, of course, is that no one died in Texas. The perpetrator had a small knife, not a gun.

In interviews being conducted by the local affiliate at the scene, two students described what it was like to be in classrooms in the Health Sciences building — hearing the screams, crowding into classrooms, trying to escape whatever was going on. They said virtually the same thing: They got on their knees and prayed to God, trusting that God would protect them and that they were in His hands. And they both said it would have been better to have guns as well as God. Sadly, as a professor, I’ve actually thought about what I would do if there were a crazy person loose in one of the buildings where I teach.

I like to teach in rooms with sturdy locks, with desks you could move to barricade the door and with some very big guys (sorry for the sexism) among my students who could “take out” a would-be killer. I certainly understand the instinct to pray. I wish I had as much faith as the boys being interviewed; I wish I could trust that God is always watching over. But even if I didn’t, I would still pray.

But guns?

The boys kept talking about what they could’ve done had they had guns. I kept thinking about the carnage that could have been caused by that crazy kid (and it appears, at least from early reports, that he is mentally ill) if he’d had one, if there had been a gun battle.

Meanwhile, back in Washington, a minor miracle was unfolding. Two NRA stalwarts in the Senate, one a Republican and one a Democrat, had reached a compromise that would allow a bill to expand back-

ground checks for gun purchases to move toward a vote. It is a ways from becoming law, but it is the first such bill in years that has not been “killed” before even getting to the point of consideration by the Senate.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why any law-abiding, mentally healthy person would oppose background checks. If you have a right to purchase a gun, why would you object to those who don’t being prohibited from doing so? No one is taking your gun away.

The much harder question is how do you ensure that background checks keep guns out of the hands of those who are mentally disturbed, as so many (all) of these mass murderers and would-be killers are.

Make no mistake: I’m not saying those who kill or try to should be exonerated because they are mentally ill. The scope of the insanity defense is extremely narrow. My question is how do you guarantee that those who are dangerously ill show up in the background checks.

It’s not enough to include the criminally insane or those who have been involuntarily committed because they are a danger to themselves or others. In almost all of these cases, we discover — after the fact — alarming warning signs that were known to school officials or psychiatrists or to neighbors and family. Believe me, there are other men like James Holmes and Adam Lanza out there and not on anyone’s list.

If we could stop screaming at each other over what should be non-controversial issues like background checks, we might be able to have a serious discussion about how to make such checks more effective.

The argument I keep hearing from the opponents of background checks is that they won’t work. Isn’t the answer to figure out how to make them work better?

Good time to realize income tax must be replaced with Fair Tax To the editor, Having just spent five days of terror, trying to fill out the insane IRS tax forms — resulting in $102 tax due — I have concluded the IRS MUST be replaced with the FAIR TAX. With the FAIR tax I likely would have paid about $1,090 and saved five days of terror,

hard work, worth at least $3,860.

The FAIR Tax only taxes you when you buy new products. No record keeping or tax forms to fill out. Like abolishing the IRS! Please lobby for the FAIR tax and eliminate the IRS. Jack Stephenson Gilford

LETTERS The 10 poorest states in the nation vote the most conservative To the editor, Now that I am retired, I have had some time to think about the change in our politics. Years ago, you could say, “Democrats favored the working man and the GOP was the business party.”

However, since Reagan’s election, the nature of the Republican Party has gradually changed. The common bond that now adheres the GOP together is a profound dislike for the people who benefit from government programs and safeguards. Even poorer Republicans would rather restrict other people’s benefits and freedoms than vote for their own best interests.

The GOP has become so obsessed with cutting spending it even votes against helping vital industries stay in business.

About 10 years ago, I attended a birthday party and got into a discussion with a middle-aged woman about Social Security. I was surprised to learn she thought the program was a terrible waste of money. Her words: “My husband and I care very much for our parents. We feel it is our responsibility to help them not the government’s.” She went on to tell me that she and her husband had come to the party in their own private plane from Philadelphia.

A few months later, I was campaigning for office in a poor neighborhood in my legislative district in New York.

I knocked on an apartment door and after a long wait, the door finally opened and an elderly woman sitting in a wheel chair looked out at me. I told her I was a candidate for office and hoped she would consider voting for me. She answered, “I’m confined to this chair and don’t get out much these days. Don’t think I’ll be able to vote for you.” She added that her Social Security check was all she had

to pay her rent, food and medicine. No family was left to help her, just some people in the building who “looked in” on her. As I walked to the next door, I suddenly remembered the lady at the birthday party. She apparently felt that neither she nor her government had any obligation to help this woman. The poor woman barely survived in her wheel chair while she traveled in a private airplane.

Unfortunately, this wealthy woman shares the same outlook with many who are not at all wealthy. The 10 poorest states in the nation are the most conservative and most often vote that way. Polls from these states show they are against government programs that help the poor, boost economic activity, or help immigrants and the elderly. They also want to limit women’s reproductive rights and rights for gay Americans. They pick a candidate based on support for reducing or “reforming” Federal spending, eliminating abortion, while upholding “family values,” and gun rights.

Perhaps, the biggest mystery is why many underpaid workers support right to work laws and are against a boost in the minimum wage.

The New Republicans have tapped into hatred and fear as motivating factors. They hate the people who get government assistance and fear they will “ruin the nation.” In the Great Depression, Republicans tried to get farmers to vote against farm laws by pitting one type of farmer against the other. They would say “If you are a dairy farmer you won’t get as much as a rice farmer so you should boycott the program.” It worked for a while, until farmers started to raise more rice.

LETTERS Letters led me to do a lot of research & here’s what I found To the editor, I would like to commend Mr. Cracraft and Mr. Albushies for their excellent letters expressing their disgust with the Bush administration, the lies and the liars who tell them.

I read in The Sun the letter written

by Mr. Wiles. He wrote at the end of his letter that no one ever looks up the lies written by liberal progressives. As I mentioned in a past letter, I would add him to my list of people to read.

Since reading the letter, I have spent hours on the Internet researching his quotes. I’ll use one of his favorites words to call him a habitual and pathetic liar. He wrote that Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer supported the Iraq war — a lie. I refer him to the website Wikipedia and an article titled Iraq Resolution. The 2002 vote in the Senate was 77-23 and there’s a list of the 21 Democrats who voted “no”. In the House the vote was 297 to 133, with 126 Democrats voting “no”.

Three members didn’t vote.

Mr. Wiles and Mr. Earle went back to involve President Clinton, so I went back to where it started. Go to Winipedia page on U.S involvement in Iraq Iran War 1980. Read about the U.S. reaction to the conflict; read the “support” article; read chemical and biological exports, in brief, report which details 70 shipments sent to Iraq by U.S.over three years including the gas used to kill the Kurds, which was identical to what the U.N.inspectors found and recovered from Iraq’s biological warfare program.

Now look at the picture of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with

Saddam Hussein and read the caption under the picture.

Now go to the Wikipedia page on Iraq and weapons of mass destruction.

If you have Mr. Wiles letter handy, he writes that virtually everyone — Republicans, Democrats, CIA, U.N. Security Council, Saddam’s army, etc — was dead sure WMDs would be found. That statement contains more lies than truth. He also says that Saddam proved he had them as he had killed thousands of his own people with gas. Perhaps here Mr. Wiles can explain why was that any different than what Bush did when he killed hundreds of thousands during the continued bombing of Iraq, not counting the millions who fled the country with just the clothes on their back.

Now back to the article, read slowly note two and note three. In brief, members of Congress and Parliament as well as potential political opponents and outside observers have criticized the use of intelligence by Bush and Blair administrations. Charges have included outright distortion, selective use of intelligence and exertion of political pressure to influence the content of intelligence estimates in order to provide support for the decision to go to war with Iraq. Note 6: in brief, other key U.N. Security Council members including France, Germany and Russia argued that inspections were working and should continue.

The council would not approve a second resolution so the U.S, and Britain, along with other allies, launched operation Iraq Freedom on March 19, 2003. I have been reading about this

portion of the war for nearly a day. I forgot to mention the support the U.S under the Reagan presidency gave Saddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran War. On August 2 1990 at 2 a.m. local time, Iraq launched an invasion on oil-rich Kuwait, American’s expedient ally and Iraq had overnight became our most bitter enemy.

I will only mention that during that period ,most will remember the Iran contra scandal — weapons for hostages. I remember Col. North lying

like a rug before Congress.

The research I did was fun, I learned a lot and hope that in the future Mr. Wiles will make his letters shorter and tell the truth. We as a country should all say thanks to those who served, God bless the near 5,000 who lost their lives and the over 32,000 critically wounded and thousands who now suffer serious ailments.

Petitioned warrant article to change Sanbornton voting day back to March was filed late & had only 23 valid signatures

BY GAIL OBER

SANBORNTON — An attempt to petition the voters for a March voting date was rejected Thursday by the Town Clerk because two of the people who signed were not registered voters.

Town Clerk Jane Goss said every signer of a petition must be on the voting checklist at the time the petition is submitted. A petition needs 25 valid signatures to appear on the town warrant.

School Board member Tim Lang began the petition because he wanted to see more people vote in both town and school election elections. He said in his opinion, many people don’t vote in either election and having two separate elections days further dilutes the vote.

In 2006, voters supported changing annual town meeting to May from March and to change the fiscal year to July 1 through June 30 in anticipation that more people would participate in annual town meeting and elections.

The fiscal year, which Lang does not want to change, would stay the same and the annual town meeting would continue to be in May. He said the elections would happen in March and the newly elected town officials would take office in May at annual town meeting. Lang said it was no different than the president taking office two months after the national election.

“We miss out all of the excitement and hoopla surrounding town elec-

tions,” Lang said referring to Tilton and Northfield.

Goss said this year only 68 Sanbornton people voted in the Winnisquam Regional School District election.

“We’re letting Tilton and Northfield elect Sanbornton’s representative,” Lang said, noting that the other two towns are bigger than Sanbornton and can easily compensate for the 68 voters from hill-town community unless Sanbornton voters are engaged.

Lang is one of the Sanbornton representatives to the school board. He said the petition didn’t seek to change annual town meeting that is in May or the budget year that begins on July 1 just voting day.

Lang also said there is about $2,000 cost to Sanbornton for each election.

Goss said there were other issues wrong with the petition including that it was filed late.

She said all petitions of potential warrant articles must be delivered to the office of the Town Clerk before 4 p.m. on the final Friday of election sign-up days. She said this petition was delivered to town offices at 5:30 p.m. and her office was closed.

Lang said yesterday that he reached out the Town Administrator Bob Veloski to see if he could bring his petition to the floor at annual town meeting or if he had to wait until next year. He said Veloski was going to call the town’s lawyer and get his opinion and get back to him.

SONG from page one prospect of airing the words “The Wicked Witch is Dead!” on its Sunday countdown show, just days before Thatcher’s funeral, scheduled for Wednesday.

Some lawmakers from Thatcher’s Conservative Party had called for the publicly funded broadcaster to drop the song, while others warned that such a move would mean censoring a form of dissent.

The BBC, caught between allegations of censorship and complaints about poor taste, split the difference, saying it would broadcast only part of the tune — along with a news item explaining why it was there.

BBC director-general Tony Hall said that while the broadcaster found the campaign “distasteful and inappropriate,” he and other executives had decided the song should not be banned — but should not be broadcast in full, either.

“We have agreed that we won’t be

playing the song in full, rather treating it as a news story and playing a short extract to put it in context,” he said in a statement.

Ben Cooper, controller of Radio 1 — which broadcasts the chart show — said the clip would be “four or five” seconds long, though he did not say what part of the song would be aired.

The controversy — which made the front pages of many national newspapers — serves as a strange musical coda to Thatcher’s time in office.

The woman known to many as the Iron Lady was in power for 11 years, during which she wrenched Britain from the economic doldrums and successfully retook the Falkland Islands after Argentina’s 1982 invasion.

Many still resent Thatcher for her uncompromising stance against the country’s labor unions and what they saw as her inhumanity toward the working class.

SANBORN’S AUTO REPAIR “Where the customer is always number one”

316 Court Street Laconia, NH | 603-524-9798

VAN from page one $5,000 donation from the Cops for Kids with Cancer organization. She said yesterday that about 10 days ago she took the money and went looking for a $5,000 car because her old car had died in January and she was without one.

She said she began car shopping locally and said she went to about five local auto dealers. She also was looking for a car online.

When she got to AutoServ in Laconia, she said her salesman, Michael Zaccheo, spoke with his manager who in turned called a member of the Gaudette family that owns the dealership.

She said he told her the family would match the donation and find her a van that would be safe and reliable.

“I am just happy we are in a position to do this,” said Andrew Hosmer, the general manager of AutoServ Nissan.

He said all of his family members have young children, including he and his wife Donna, who have four young children.

Donna Gaudet Hosmer greeted Beaudoin and Austin with a big hug.

“We’re so proud of you,” she told Beaudoin as Austin smiled and played with the balloons he got from the sales staff. The mother of four, including triplets, she said she can’t even imag-

ine what Beaudoin and her family go through each day and if her family can help, then they are happy to do so.

With the help of AutoServ, Beaudoin, who has another son and is a single parent, said she is now able to get to the doctor’s appointments that Austin needs in Boston every two weeks. She said he sees four different types of doctors at the Dana Farber Cancer Center and is embarking on his fifth type of radiation and chemotherapy next week.

Beaudin was able to get a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. She said she needs the three seats because she has to transport both her sons and often they can’t sit next to each other in a close space because Austin’s immunity system is so fragile he is unable to fight off the germs that don’t bother most other children.

Austin likes his new car. “It’s green,” he said with authority.

Beaudoin, who said the Laconia community has always been so nice to her and the Hosmers and Gaudettes are a great example of that, said the van is “so much nicer than anything she ever expected to get.”

“I just can’t tell you how grateful I am,” she said.

TROUGH from page one crane, both said Duncan, volunteering their time and equipment to move the trough.

Duncan said the water trough was at one time one of the most important places in Meredith Center. The lower part serviced the horses that came to either the Grange, the Post Office, the village store or the school, while the taller granite bowl was there for people to get a drink of water.

“The town’s team of horses also came by for a cool drink of fresh water,” he said.

He said the water source for both was a gravity-fed well on top of Livingston Road that poured fresh water all the time. The runoff, they determined after the base was excavated, was a dry well lined with stone that, he said, never had any overspill.

“When we first started digging we thought it was a well but it was a dry well,” he said.

The excavation is part of a major Grange project undertaken with the help of the Greater Meredith Program

that also includes the installation of 17 American flags along Meredith Center Road and four new trees.

The trough is being reset near its original resting place, but out of the road right-of-way. A walkway, Duncan said, will be paved by Bryant Paving at no charge. The new water source will be town water from the Grange building and it will not be ever-flowing, but metered and turned on and off according to a schedule.

“The main thing is the outpouring of support from the local community,” he said.

The Grange began seeking membership and money about five years ago when it was down to just a few active members and there was talk about abandoning the building because the organization couldn’t support it any longer.

Duncan said he was one of the first wave of people who joined the Grange abound that time. He said now the Meredith Grange has over 100 active members and is considered by the N.H. State Grange to be the most active Granges in the state.

MEDICARE from page 2 ums. Obama’s plan would raise the premiums themselves and also freeze adjustments for inflation until 1 in 4 Medicare recipients were paying the higher charges. Right now, the higher monthly charges hit only about 1 in 20 Medicare recipients.

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., asked Sebelius about the new proposal on Friday, noting that it would raise significantly more revenue. Part of the reason for the additional federal revenue is that Obama’s 2014 budget projects an additional year of money from the proposals.

The rest of the answer has to do with the administration’s new brackets.

Starting in 2017, there would be nine income brackets on which the higher premiums would be charged.

There are only four now.

If the proposal were in effect today,

about $168 a month for outpatient coverage, compared to $146.90 currently.

Under current law, the next bump up doesn’t come until an individual makes more than $107,000. Under Obama’s plan, it would come when that person crosses the line at $92,333. If the plan were in effect today, the beneficiary would pay about $195 a month for outpatient coverage under Medicare’s Part B, rather than $146.90.

The top income step — currently more than $214,000 — would be lowered to $196,000. And individuals in the new top tier would pay 90 percent of the cost of their outpatient coverage, compared to 80 percent currently.

The administration did not provide a comparable table for the effects on married couples.

The impact on monthly premiums for prescription drug coverage is hard to calculate, since different plans on

NORTH KOREA from page 2 ate for food and not missile launches,” he warned.

“They are desperate for opportunity and not for a leader to flex his muscles.”

Kerry’s diplomatic tour, while planned long in advance, is unusual in that it brings him directly to a region of escalated tensions and precisely at a time when North Korea is threatening action. The North often times its military and nuclear tests to generate maximum attention, and Kerry’s presence on the peninsula alone risked spurring Pyongyang into another provocation. Another key date is the 101st birthday of the nation’s founder, Kim Il Sung, on April 15.

After meeting South Korean President Park Geunhye and Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se, Kerry also weighed in on an intelligence report that rocked Washington on Thursday, suggesting that North Korea now had the knowhow to arm a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead — even if the weapons would lack reliability. Kerry, repeating assertions by other administration officials, noted that Pyongyang still hadn’t developed or fully tested the nuclear capacities needed for such a step.

Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., surprised a hearing on the defense budget Thursday when he read aloud one paragraph of an otherwise classified Defense Intelligence Agency report. The assessment said the Pentagon’s intelligence wing has “moderate confidence” that North Korea has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles but that the weapon was unreliable.

The disclosure took even Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by surprise and he refused to discuss it at the budget hearing.

While analysts have made similar statements over the last two years, the reading of it at the same time Kim was renewing threats against the U.S. and its allies gave the notion new urgency.

Kerry offered strong words of solidarity for South Korea, praising Park’s “bright vision” of a prosperous and reunified Korean Peninsula without nuclear weapons. By contrast, he said North Korea’s Kim, by estimates only 29 or 30 years old, has a choice to make between provocation and returning to talks to de-escalate tension and lead to the end of its nuclear program.

26.4.26 from page one was gunned down along with the school’s psychologist as they rushed at the shooter in an effort to stop the massacre of the 6 and 7 year old first graders.

Bolduc said that she was inspired to organize the event by the actions taken by Robbie Bruce of Nashville, Tennessee, founder of the 26.4.26 Foundation, who organized a relay marathon in Nashville only eight days after the shootings which drew 1,000 runners and raised $30,000 for the Newtown Youth Academy. ‘’I connected with Robbie after seeing his Facebook page about 26.4.26. I had a similar idea and we combined efforts to make this happen for New Hampshire. I wanted to make it be about educators and not so much runners, as I am an elementary principal,’’ said Bolduc, who is herself a runner.

She said that Bruce will be at Sunday’s event and will also speak at the opening ceremony. ‘’This event is an opportunity for the community to express some sense of support to the victims of Newtown,’’ said Bolduc, who says that the race course will extend from Gilford Elementary School to Laconia’s three elementary schools, Elm Street, Pleasant Street and Woodland Heights and then back again.

The event will have eight relay segments.

Also taking part in the opening ceremony will be the Laconia School District’s Voice Ensemble.

She said that volunteers from schools and local police will be staffing eight water and rest stations along the course and that many businesses have made donations, including First Transportation

which has provided five school buses.

The buses will be picking up participants at the three Laconia elementary schools at 7:30 a.m. and bringing them to the opening ceremonies for 8 a.m.

Then they will bring the teammates back to their transition area to meet their runners and will have the buses running throughout the race to bring runners to their designated locations.

Each mile is dedicated to one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. The money raised will go the 26.4.26 Foundation, whose mission is to develop, implement, and if needed, fund schools appropriately in order to begin pilot programs that involve athletics, activities, team building, and positive social interaction among youths.

She said that police departments will be volunteering their assistance for the marathon and that Hannaford’s in Gilford is donating 125 gallons of water, 1,000 paper drinking cups, two cases of bananas (44 pounds each), 2 cases or oranges (88 count each) and 24 gallons of Gatorade. Other area businesses are also donating goods and services.

The school district that raises the most money in the non-timed race event will get some funds toward school security.

Registration is from 6 to 8 p.m. at Patrick’s Pub today, where participants can pick up their registration packets.

There will also be registration at Gilford Elementary School on Sunday from 6:30-7:30 a.m. and the starting point and ending point of the race will be at the gazebo at the Gilford Village Field.

2013 maple syrup harvest back up to ‘average’ but New Hampshire still an import dependent state

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANDWICH — Across the state, maple syrup producers are wrapping up a successful season, one in which Robyn Pearl of the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association estimates that 100,000 gallons of pure maple syrup will be created by the several hundred sugarers operating in the state. It’s a welcome upswing from last year, when only about 75,000 gallons were produced. This year’s haul is average, Pearl said, and she’s happy for it. Still, it won’t be enough to satisfy the appetites of local consumers.

“We’re a syrup-deficient state,” said Pearl. Even at the market price of $60 per gallon, local producers are able to sell as much as they can produce. “It’s a great product, you now where it’s coming from, you know the quality is high,” she said. “People still are willing to buy it.”

Brad Streeter, who operates Young Maple Ridge Sugarhouse in North Sandwich, has found that New Hampshire syrup has a loyal following. He’s been tapping maple trees for 14 years and is expanding his operation year over year, trying to grow his syrup business to the level where it keeps him busy

full-time, year-round. Toward that end, he’s started a website and Facebook to promote his business and allow customers to place mail orders. To his surprise, customers from up and down the East Coast, and a few from further west, have placed orders. He also has gained a few wholesale customers through social media. One example is the Kellerhaus at Weirs Beach, which has agreed to stock an assortment of glass bottles filled with Streeter’s grade A amber syrup.

Young Maple Ridge Sugarhouse produced 434 gallons of syrup this winter, more than Streeter ever has before, thanks to 400 new taps he added to his operation. A typical season, he said, will see sap flowing for four to six weeks. Sap will flow out of tapped sugar maple trees when the night-time temperature is below freezing but temperature rises above freezing during the day. This year, he had sap for seven weeks. “It was a good season,” he said. “A little above average.”

While sugaring is a traditional industry in the Northeast, sugarers are not beholden to tradition. Streeter, for example, has some of his trees on vacuum lines, which draw more sap out of taps see next page REQUEST FOR BIDS The Town of Meredith is accepting sealed bids for 2013 – 2016 STREET SWEEPING AND CATCH BASIN CLEANING CONTRACT for the Towns of Meredith, Center Harbor, and Moultonborough.

Chinese 8th grader makes cut at The Masters despite penalty shot for slow play

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — History is one of Guan Tianlang’s favorite subjects in school.

How fitting.

Hours after the 14-year-old was the first player ever penalized for slow play at the Masters, he became the youngest player to make the cut at Augusta National.

“I made it,” he said afterward on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter. “I hope I can make more miracles, more dreams come true. I want to thank my parents and everyone who cared, supported and helped me.”

Guan had to wait until the very last group finished

Manchester police say x-ray shows thief swallowed ring

MANCHESTER (AP) — Police say the X-rays don’t lie: A man who tried to flee from a New Hampshire jewelry store with a diamond ring worth $3,200 swallowed it.

Employees at Bellman’s Jewelers in Manchester say Ronald Perley came in Thursday and was looking for an engagement ring.

Police say the 52-year-old Perley picked up a ring and ran toward the door.

Workers confronted him, saying they saw Perley put his hand to his mouth and swallow. He denied swallowing the ring.

Police got a search warrant and brought him to Elliot Hospital, where X-rays showed the 14-karat whitegold ring with princess-cut diamonds inside him.

Perley was arraigned on charges of theft and falsifying physical evidence. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had a lawyer. His $50,000 bail includes the ring’s recovery.

to know if he was in or out. He finished at 3-over 75 for the round, giving him a 4-over 148 total. The top 50 players made the cut, as well as those within 10 strokes of the lead. Jason Day was 6 under with two holes left, but he missed a birdie putt by inches on 17, and was in the sand off the tee on 18.

“Obviously, it’s an amazing achievement to get to the weekend at Augusta. And being able to play and experience what he’s going to experience on the weekend, you can’t buy that stuff,” Day said.

“I talked to him earlier and he seems like a really, really good kid. It’s unfortunate that he received the penalty, but he can learn from that and move on and hopefully can play well over the next two days.”

For all the talk of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, Guan added a buzz to the Masters. An eighth grader who arrived at Augusta National with textbooks stuffed in his bag, he is the youngest player ever at the Masters and the youngest at any major in 148 years.

He impressed fans and fellow players alike with his

steady play and calm demeanor, and making the cut looked like a given when he teed off on 17. But he was assessed a one-shot penalty after his second shot at the 17th hole, turning what would have been a par into a bogey.

Slow play is a frequent complaint among golfers, particularly at major events, but it’s rarely enforced.

Guan is believed to be the first player penalized for slow play at the Masters. The last player to be penalized at a major was Gregory Bourdy in the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

“A rule is a rule,” Guan’s father, Han Wen, said after his son was penalized. “It’s OK.” But it sure caused a headache for Masters officials, who were horrified that anything might spoil the coming out party of a youngster who has the potential to be golf’s biggest star since Tiger Woods.

Several “green jackets” were waiting for Guan at the scoring building when he finished his round, and he spent almost 90 minutes talking with rules and tournament officials.

from preceding page than those that are simply gravity-drawn. He also runs the sap through a reverse osmosis cycle, which removes most of the water from the sap before it goes through a sophisticated evaporator. In the traditional methods, the sap would simply be boiled over a wood fire, with 40 gallons or more of sap required to make a single gallon of syrup.

“People are starting to implement more technology,” said Pearl, which is helping to increase the amount of sap New Hampshire is producing. Two years ago, she said, the state produced a record 125,000 gallons. This year’s haul will contribute $6 million to the state’s gross domestic product.

Mary Ellen Dutton, of the Kellerhaus, said she’s glad to play her role in presenting some of the state’s sweetest product to customers. “We have a long history of selling lots of maple syrup, always from New Hampshire.”

There seems to be a growing interest in New Hampshire’s maple syrup, said Pearl. She heard reports of record turnout of people visiting sugar houses during the 18th Annual Maple Weekend, held at the end of March. She’s also noticed an influx of new sugarers.

“We are having more and more new members who are getting into sugaring for the first time.”

Streeter said sugaring can become something of an obsession. He began expanding his operation not long after he started sugaring, and he’s well on his way to being able to fully devote himself to syrup. He described the process as a kind of alchemy — taking a basic, readily-available ingredient and turning it into a prized commodity. “It’s the joy of taking raw sap and making it something that’s useful,” he said.

GILFORD — In honor of National Library Week, April 15-19, the Gilford Public Library will a number of special programs for all ages.

This year, the theme for celebration is, “Community at Your Library”. Throughout the week, the children will have the chance to explore a police car, a school bus, a marine patrol boat, and a snow groomer. They will also have the opportunity to meet members of the community who operate these town vehicles, and learn about the services their community does for them.

In addition to these programs, there will be n Edible Book Contest for all ages.

Children’s Library Tracey Petrozzi, who will host the event, described it as such: “You pick a book— your favorite or one that you just think would be fun. And then you create a food item to represent the book.” For example, she said she once saw a child represent Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar by stringing together a chain of cupcakes, and Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree by a standing a stalk

D ue to Sale extended to 4/30/13

Waterfront Sales Report There were five waterfront sales on Lake Winnipesaukee in March, 2013 at an average price of $869,200. Two of those sales did break the million dollar mark. Last March we had a banner month with 14 sales at an average of $797,086! So things do seem to be a bit off so far this year on the big lake. For the 1st quarter of the year there were eleven sales at an average price of $917,364 compared to 26 sales at an average of $807,469 for the first quarter of 2012. Let’s hope activity will pick up now that winter is behind us!

The least expensive sale on the big lake was at 34 Belknap Point Road in Gilford. This 1,365-squarefoot home was constructed in 2000 and has three bedrooms, one and a half baths, a large living room, plus an unfinished walk out basement for additional living space if desired. There is a great deck for outside entertaining and taking in the lake and Mt. Washington in the distance. The half acre level lot has 50-feet of frontage, a sandy beach, dock, and waterside shed for the gear. This property was called the “Best Deal in Town” and was priced at $459,000 and sold for $438,500 after 339 days on the market. It had previously been on the market starting way back in 2004 when it was listed at $759,000. Prices have really come down since then! The current assessed value is $462,130.

The median price point home is located at 42 Rollins Road in Alton. This is a 3,810-square-foot, open concept, contemporary home which was built in 1997. It has three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a beautiful kitchen with maple cabinetry, stainless appliances, and granite counter tops. The finished lower level walkout features a second kitchen, family room, and a bunk room. There is also another family room over the heated detached garage. The house sits on a private, well landscaped, half acre lot with 85-feet of frontage in a protected cove. This property looks like a real winner to me and I think it must have to the new owners as well as it was only on the market for 27 days. It was listed at $915,000 and sold for $847,500. The current tax assessment stands at $738,600.

The largest sale of the month was a 4,881-squarefoot contemporary home at 134 Black Point Road in Alton. This incredible home has it all including a gourmet “Zarse” kitchen. I had no idea what

that was so I Googled it and learned that it is the custom, high end kitchens done by a cabinet maker of the same name in Wolfeboro! They make some very nice stuff! Beyond a stunning kitchen, this home has three bedrooms including a first floor master suite, five baths, a living room with cathedral ceilings, gas fireplace, and a wall of glass looking toward the lake. The lower level walkout has a beautiful family room and a second custom kitchen. Other features include hardwood and tile floors, custom built-ins, sun room, large deck with a hot tub, pantry, two laundry rooms, two sitting rooms, an elevator, and geo-thermal heat. There are attached and detached two car garages. This stunning home sits on a 1.3-acre lot with 90-feet of frontage and a 33’ x 18’ boathouse. This is a great home and I can imagine how happy the new owners must be. This property was on the market at $1.55 million and sold for $1.425 million with an assessed value of $1,303,300. Nice deal!

The only property that sold on Winnisquam last month was at 334 Black Brook Road in Sanbornton.

This property consists of a four room, two bedroom, 864-square-foot year round cottage on a .48 acre lot with 64-feet of frontage. The cottage has a knotty pine interior, fireplace, a galley kitchen, and that so called rustic charm. Rustic charm either means the place is kind of cute in a redneck sort of way or that it needs a fair amount of updating. Not sure which one this property is but the most important thing is that the cottage is just steps away from a nice sandy beach and dock. The location, view, and the frontage is what this property is all about. This property was listed at $419,000 and sold for $398,500 in just eleven days. Its tax assessed value is $367,700.

There was also one sale on Squam, at 18 Leavitt Road in Holderness. This is a 1947 vintage, one bedroom, one bath seasonal cottage on a .18 acre lot with 76-feet of sandy frontage and a dock. It sits just 15 feet from the water! How cool is that!

Originally, this cottage was listed at $399,000, then reduced to $379,000, and sold for $320,000.

It took 620 days to find a buyer but with an assessment value at $375,800. I think the new owners are going to have a great summer on Golden Pond!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your love life is a subject of interest to others. They can’t help themselves. So try not to get too annoyed as you take extra measures to ensure your own privacy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may put your feelers out in a professional way.

You’re not ready to make a move just yet; you just want to know what’s out there. Bonus: Secret explorations can be thrilling.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 13). You design your life in a way that gives you freedom, choice and fun. It takes some doing.

You’ll plan, change the plan, refine the changes and never give up trying to make it better. May brings destiny in a phone call.

Extra spending money in June is a payoff for your hard work. Family additions happen in August. Cancer and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 23, 41, 19 and 44.

TUNDRA

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). Mercury joins the conglomerate of astral influences in your sign, lending you the gift of gab at a level usually reserved for rappers and auctioneers.

You’ll put your internal tempo controller to use.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Victorian poet Robert Browning was the Taurus who said, “A minute’s success pays the failure of years.”

This peculiar math will make sense to you today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With your guiding planet, Mercury, on the move, you’ll be in the mood to collaborate even more than usual. Choose your partners carefully, though, because their ways will rub off on you!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A wave of nostalgia washes over your life. You’re still processing what happened in those long-ago yesterdays. You’re still accounting for someone’s passing influence on you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A little forethought will save you a lot of trouble later.

While you’re happily planning ahead, you will find a way to carry the traditions you grew up with into the future in a new form.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The change of Mercury, your guiding planet, gives you an edge of assertive energy. You’ll feel like saying what’s been on your mind, even if it’s a bit risky to do so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re excellent at taking initiative, and people love that about you. Initiative shows spirit and guts. It also indicates a high level of self-confidence, and because you trust yourself a lot, others will, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you check in with yourself, with whom exactly are you checking in? It’s something to ponder, and doing so will have meditative and enlightening effects.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t trust theoretical knowledge right now.

Get in, and get your hands dirty. Better to do a task incorrectly than not to do it at all. It is only through action that the real lessons can be learned.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll get information that validates a decision you made recently. It’s nice to know that your intuitive sense is on target. You’ll trust it even

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 13, 2013— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, April 13, the 103rd day of 2013. There are 262 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 13, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., on the 200th anniversary of the third American president’s birth.

On this date: In 1613, Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, was captured by English Capt. Samuel Argall in Virginia and held in exchange for English prisoners and stolen weapons. (During a yearlong captivity, Pocahontas converted to Christianity and ultimately opted to stay with the English. ) In 1742, Handel’s “Messiah” had its first public performance in Dublin, Ireland.

In 1743, the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, was born in Shadwell in the Virginia Colony.

In 1860, the Pony Express completed its inaugural run from St. Joseph, Mo. to Sacramento, Calif. in 10 days.

In 1861, at the start of the Civil War, Fort Sumter in South Carolina fell to Confederate forces.

In 1912, the Royal Flying Corps, a predecessor of Britain’s Royal Air Force, was created.

In 1943, Radio Berlin announced the discovery of thousands of graves of massacred Polish officers in Russia’s Katyn Forest; the Nazis blamed the killings on the Soviets, who in turn blamed the Nazis. (Post-Soviet Russia has acknowledged the massacre was carried out by Josef Stalin’s much feared secret police.)

In 1958, Van Cliburn of the United States won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition for piano in Moscow; Russian Valery Klimov won the violin competition.

In 1964, Sidney Poitier became the first black performer in a leading role to win an Academy Award for “Lilies of the Field.” (Patricia Neal was named best actress for “Hud”; best picture went to “Tom Jones.”)

In 1970, Apollo 13, four-fifths of the way to the moon, was crippled when a tank containing liquid oxygen burst. (The astronauts managed to return safely.)

In 1986, Pope John Paul II visited the Great Synagogue of Rome in the first recorded papal visit of its kind to a Jewish house of worship.

In 1992, the Great Chicago Flood took place as the city’s century-old tunnel system and adjacent basements filled with water from the Chicago River.

Ten years ago: U.S.-led forces announced the capture of Watban Ibrahim Hasan, a half-brother of and adviser to Saddam Hussein.

Five years ago: World Bank President Robert Zoellick urged immediate action to deal with mounting food prices that had caused hunger and deadly violence in several countries. Trevor Immelman won the Masters, becoming the first South African to wear a green jacket in 30 years.

One year ago: President Barack Obama arrived in Cartagena, Colombia, to attend the Summit of the Americas; however, the visit was overshadowed by a scandal involving Secret Service agents and prostitutes. North Korea’s muchtouted satellite launch ended in a nearly $1 billion failure. Jennifer Capriati was elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My 17-year-old son has his beginner’s driver permit and thinks he knows it all. If I mention something he did wrong behind the wheel, I’m being “mean.” I can’t seem to get through to him the dangers that can happen in a split second. Can you please run the essay ‘’Please, God, I’m Only 17’’ again? Maybe it will open his eyes. -- Worried Dad in Kentucky Dear Dad: At least once a year, we get a request to reprint this moving essay for the new crop of teenage drivers. We hope all parents will place it where the kids will see it. (We also recommend, Dad, that you pepper your criticism with praise for all the things your son does correctly. He’ll be more likely to listen to you.)

“Dead at Seventeen” by John Berrio Agony claws my mind. I am a statistic. When I first got here I felt very much alone. I was overwhelmed by grief, and I expected to find sympathy. I found no sympathy. I saw only thousands of others whose bodies were as badly mangled as mine. I was given a number and placed in a category. The category was called “Traffic Fatalities.”

The day I died was an ordinary school day. How I wish I had taken the bus! But I was too cool for the bus. I remember how I wheedled the car out of Mom. “Special favor,” I pleaded. “All the kids drive.” When the 2:50 p.m. bell rang, I threw my books in the locker ... free until tomorrow morning!

I ran to the parking lot, excited at the thought of driving a car and being my own boss.

It doesn’t matter how the accident happened. I was goofing off -- going too fast, taking crazy chances. But I was enjoying my freedom and having fun. The last thing I remember was passing an old lady who seemed to be going awfully slow. I

heard a crash and felt a terrific jolt. Glass and steel flew everywhere. My whole body seemed to be turning inside out. I heard myself scream.

Suddenly, I awakened. It was very quiet. A police officer was standing over me. I saw a doctor. My body was mangled.

I was saturated with blood. Pieces of jagged glass were sticking out all over. Strange that I couldn’t feel anything. Hey, don’t pull that sheet over my head. I can’t be dead. I’m only 17. I’ve got a date tonight. I’m supposed to have a wonderful life ahead of me. I haven’t lived yet. I can’t be dead.

Later I was placed in a drawer. My folks came to identify me. Why did they have to see me like this? Why did I have to look at Mom’s eyes when she faced the most terrible ordeal of her life? Dad suddenly looked very old. He told the man in charge, “Yes, he’s our son.”

The funeral was weird. I saw all my relatives and friends walk toward the casket. They looked at me with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen. Some of my buddies were crying. A few of the girls touched my hand and sobbed as they walked by.

Please, somebody -- wake me up! Get me out of here. I can’t bear to see Mom and Dad in such pain. My grandparents are so weak from grief they can barely walk. My brother and sister are like zombies. They move like robots. In a daze. Everybody. No one can believe this. I can’t believe it, either.

Please, don’t bury me! I’m not dead! I have a lot of living to do! I want to laugh and run again. I want to sing and dance.

Please don’t put me in the ground! I promise if you give me just one more chance, God, I’ll be the most careful driver in the whole world. All I want is one more chance. Please, God, I’m only 17.

This series will be held on Saturday mornings and consist of three workshops, all in a computer lab on the campus of PSU for hands-on learning.

The first workshop will be held on Saturday,April 20 from 9 a.m. to noon and attendees will learn how to design their own logo.

The third and last workshop will be held on Saturday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to noon and attendees will begin to create their own website.
