Living in the house that ‘Peyton Place’ built By adam drapchO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILMANTON — Struck with Sunny Bishop’s sudden desire to raise alpacas, and with her husband Marshall’s longer-held desire to develop a vineyard, the couple decided to put their Gilford cabin on the market and find a piece of real estate with enough land for each of their pursuits. The right house for them, it turned out, see GraCE page 12

Will city turn to ‘Pay to Throw’ to avoid layoffs? LACONIA — As the City Council eyes a further round of 2011-12 budget cuts, it may find that reducing the cost of collecting and disposing of solid waste by pursuing a more aggressive recycling program offers an attractive alternative to trimming services and shedding employees. More than two years ago,

when the city faced an unavoidable increase of at least $430,000 in its budget, City Manager Eileen Cabanel indicated that she would present the City Council with options, including “mandatory recycling,” for shrinking the solid waste budget. Instead, single-stream recycling was introduced in 2010. Although the tonnage of recycled material

grew 22-percent to top 1,000 tons, that amounted to just 7-percent of all residential and commercial trash and did little to reduce the solid waste budget. Earlier this week, in anticipation that the state will withdraw its share of employer contributions to the New Hampshire Retirement System for police officers and firefighters, Caba-

nel presented the council with $420,064 of potential budget cuts. Reductions in payroll of $12,000 in the Planning Department, $57,000 in the Police Department, $119,000 in the Fire Department and $105,000 at the Laconia Public Library represent more than half the proposed cuts. see TraSH page 14

World’s oldest man dies in Montana at age 114

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — Walter Breuning’s earliest memories stretched back 111 years, before home entertainment came with a twist of the radio dial. They were of his grandfather’s tales of killing Southerners in the Civil War. Breuning was 3 and horrified: “I thought that was a hell of a thing to say.” But the stories stuck, becoming the first building blocks into what would develop into a deceptively simple philosophy that Breuning, the world’s oldest man at 114 before he died Thursday, credited to his longevity. Here’s the world’s oldest man’s secret to a long life: — Embrace change, even when the change slaps you in the face. (“Every change is good.”) — Eat two meals a day (“That’s all you need.”) — Work as long as you can (“That money’s going to come in handy.”) — Help others (“The see 114 page 8

Congress okays budget cut deal but bigger fight looms WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress sent President Barack Obama hard-fought legislation cutting a record $38 billion from federal spending on Thursday, bestowing bipartisan support on the first major compromise between the White House and newly empowered Republicans in Congress. “Welcome to divided government,” said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Republican point man in tough negotiations with the president and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., that produced a

bill no one claimed to like in its entirety. Leader of a rambunctious new majority, Boehner said the cuts in domestic programs were unprecedented. Yet he also called the measure a less-than-perfect first step in a long campaign against federal red ink, and dozens of rank-and-file conservatives voted against it. The White House also looked ahead to a struggle now beginning over national spending priorities in an era of soaring deficits and a $14 trillion national debt.

“We all know there are tough challenges ahead, from growing our economy to reducing our deficit, but we must build on this bipartisan compromise to tackle these issues and meet the expectations of the American people,” said an administration statement. The bipartisan votes belied a fierce struggle that preceded passage and only narrowly avoided a partial government shutdown a week ago. see BUDGET page 5

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — A suicidal mother who loaded her four children into a minivan and drove off a boat ramp into the frigid Hudson River changed her mind as the van sank and cried, “I made a mistake, I made a terrible mistake,” said her 10-year-old son, who survived by crawling out a window and swimming ashore. Lashanda Armstrong had warned in a cryptic Facebook message just before the fatal plunge: “I’m so sorry everyone forgive

me please for what I’m gonna do.... This Is It!!!!” Her 10-year-old son, the only survivor as his mother and three siblings drowned, says she had told the children, “You’re all going to die with me,” but then tried, too late, to back out of the river, according to a woman who found the sopping wet boy. Meave Ryan was driving past the boat ramp in Newburgh, about 60 miles north of New York City, on Tuesday evening

when she spotted the boy, La’Shaun Armstrong, waving his arms. Ryan said the boy told her that his mother had had a “big, big argument about my stepdad’s cheating on her,” then piled the four children in the minivan and sped into the river. Ryan told The Associated Press on Thursday that La’Shaun said Armstrong had held him and the other kids — boys see PLUNGE page 14

CONCORD (AP) — Democrat Carol SheaPorter said Thursday she is running again for the 1st Congressional District seat she lost to Republican Frank Guinta in November. “I am running again because I believe we must keep America the land of opportunity and fairness for your children and mine,” Shea-Porter told supporters in an e-mail.

Shea-Porter, of Rochester, held the seat for two terms before losing to Guinta 53-42 percent. In 2006, voter dissatisfaction with President George W. Bush and anti-war sentiment helped Shea-Porter pull an upset win over Republican Rep. Jeb Bradley, and she defeated him again two years later. But last year, Shea-Porter found herself swept out by

the nation’s anti-incumbent mood. Though Guinta, the former mayor of Manchester, was dogged throughout the campaign by questions about his personal finances, he kept the focus on the issues, contrasting his record of enacting Manchester’s first tax cut in a decade with what see SHEA-PORTER page 11

Flanders honored at LRGHealthcare annual meeting LACONIA — During LRGHealthcare’s 2011 Annual Meeting held at the Lake Opechee Inn & Conference Center last week, officials spoke about the challenges and opportunities ahead for the notfor-profit health care charitable trust. During the financial report, Finance and Investment Committee Chairman Dr. Robert Evans said that the organization finished its last fiscal year with an operating loss of $2.3-million. He cited a number of factors that contributed to the financial results, including a sluggish economic recovery marked by persistent unemployment that has reduced demand for discretionary care; rising levels of charitable care and uncollectable debt as more people lose access to health insurance; and the fact that the fiscal plight of both state and federal governments has reduced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. He also explained that there are a number of factors beyond the trust’s control that will continue to pose challenges to our local health care system, including the actions of the state government to further reduce reimbursement, the diversion of uncompensated care funds, and additional cuts to the larger healthcare system. Dr. Evans went on to explain that, despite the

challenges, there is some good news. So far, in Fiscal Year 2011, LRGHealthcare is more than $400,000 in the black, posting a small positive operating margin each month since August. He also said that while there are a number of factors projected to further challenge hospitals’ ability to control expenses in the next couple of years, LRGHealthcare is ahead of the curve in implementing strategies that have positioned us well to withstand these challenges. Dr. Evans also spoke about the difference between the operational and capital cycles, and the wisdom of moving forward on capital projects in spite of shorter term funding challenges. Some examples of capital investment include the expansion and renovation project currently underway at LRGH, as well as the recent projects completed at FRH, and the Interlakes Medical Center in Meredith. Dr. Evans explained that these projects were all subject to third-party review, and were deemed both appropriate for our community’s needs, as well as fiscally sound. He also shared that, despite financial challenges, LRGHealthcare gave back to our community more than $30-million (valued at cost) in community benefit last year, in the form of programs and services. see next page

Laconia has new 3-member Board of Assessors

LACONIA — City Manager Eileen Cabanel has appointed a new Board of Assessors to replace the members who resigned in December. Edmund Balboni, who served as an assessor in Lynn, Massachusetts for decades, has been named to chair the board, alongside Thomas Daigneault and Leonard Miner. Daigneault, an employee of MetroCast Cablevision, and Miner, a produce buyer for Associated Grocers of New England, were alternate members of the board. Last December, all three members of the board — Chairman Robert Scharm, Sheryl Foss and James Saltmarsh — abruptly resigned shortly before they

were due to sign the warrant authorizing the collection of the 2010 property taxes. In a joint letter of resignation the three questioned the values set by Vision Appraisal, an Mass.-based contractor, which they believed were too low. Cabanel hastily convened a meeting of the three alternate members — Daignneault, Michael Randall and Deborah Cotton — who with some reservations agreed to sign the warrant. Randall and Cotton will continue as alternate members of the reconstituted board. — Michael Kitch

Court says okay for state to charge early retirees for insurance CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Supreme Court is allowing the state to charge its early retirees a $65-a-month premium for health insurance. The state employees association challenged the constitutionality of a 2009 law that required retired employees and their spouses to pay the fee. But the state’s highest court has determined that the premium does not impair employees’ rights to full pension benefits and they can opt out of the health insurance program if they want to. “The state health benefits are optional and are only deducted from those retirees opting to receive them,” Justice James Duggan wrote. The court ruled that the law requiring the $65-permonth premium does not “substantially alter” the retirees’ contractual relationship with the state. The

premium in no way reduces the amount of pension the retired employee receives, the justices stated. The court likened the premium to an increase of the cost of eggs at a supermarket or hike in a retiree’s rent. The retiree has less to spend after paying the higher cost, but there has been no change in the income or benefit he or she receives. Prior to July 2009, the state paid the entire cost of retirees’ health care premiums. The unanimous ruling affects about 2,500 state employees who retired before age 65 and 900 spouses. After age 65, Medicare covers their health care benefits. The ruling says that only eight of the nearly 3,300 retired employees and spouses subject to the law in 2009 were unable to pay.

BUDGET from page 2 The tally in the House was 260-167. Among the supporters were 60 of the 87 first-term Republicans, many of them elected with tea party support. The Senate added its approval a short while later, 81-19, and most of the opponents were conservatives who wanted deeper cuts. Even before the final votes, House Republicans pointed eagerly toward a vote Friday on their next move against mounting deficits, a comprehensive budget that claims cuts measured in the trillions, rather than billions, over the next decade. That vote is expected to be as partisan as the spending bill was not. The measure approved Thursday will finance the government through the Sept. 30 end of the budget year, chopping $38 billion from current levels and $78 billion from the president’s request of more than a year ago. Billions were saved by eliminating congressional earmarks, and billions more in funds from the

Census Bureau, left over from the 2010 national head count, now finished. The Environmental Protection Agency, one of the Republicans’ favorite targets, took a $1.6 billion cut. Spending for community health centers was reduced by $600 million, and the Community Development Block Grant program favored by mayors by $950 million more. The bipartisan drive to cut federal spending reached into every corner of the government’s sprawl of domestic programs. Money to renovate the Commerce Department building in Washington was cut by $8 million. The Appalachian Regional Commission, a New Deal-era program, was nicked for another $8 million and the National Park Service by $127 million more. While Republicans touted the cuts in the measure, Democratic supporters pointed to even deeper reductions or even outright program terminations that Republicans had been forced to give up in negotiations.

from preceding page During the meeting, LRGHealthcare President & CEO Tom Clairmont presented the Rhoda Ladd and Sally Proctor Awards for service to health care in our community. Longtime Laconia resident and State Representative Don Flanders received the Rhoda Ladd award, in recognition of his many years of service to both health care and the larger community through his work on the LRGHealthcare board and through other civic organizations.

The Sally Proctor Award was presented to Kathy Fuller of Franklin, whose 38-year history of work as a nurse and care manager at Franklin Regional Hospital touched many lives, and whose involvement in her community schools and other service activities improved the health and quality of life of the entire Franklin community.

Alexander Cockburn

Why I mourn Glenn Beck Fox News says Glenn Beck’s daily program will “transition” off the network some time before the end of this year. Beck cosigned the statement and confirmed this on his show, speaking vaguely of sustaining the two-year relationship with Fox by “developing things.” He sounded shell-shocked, like a man who’d been shown the door. Rupert Murdoch’s political commissar in America, Fox President Roger Ailes, confirmed this impression by telling AP that “Half of the headlines say he’s been canceled. The other half say he quit. We’re pretty happy with both of them. We felt Glenn brought additional information, a unique perspective, a certain amount of passion and insight to the channel and he did. But that story of what’s going on and why America is in trouble today, I think he told that story as well as could be told. Whether you can just keep telling that story or not ... we’re not so sure.” Ailes politely didn’t mention the advertising boycott of Beck’s show, nor the drooping ratings. Beck consoled his fans by assuring them that “we’ll be showing you other ways we will continue,” but I’m cast down. Seeing Beck trudging off into the twilight, leaving the fetid embrace of Murdoch’s Fox, will be like seeing Dracula head out of the castle without his coffin. I’ve always been a big fan of Beck, partly because of his deep roots in the mulch of American nutdom, fertilized by the powerful psychic idiom of rebirth and redemption. His mother drowned in Puget Sound, off Tacoma in the state of Washington, when Beck was 15. He says she was a suicide. He also says he was on booze and drugs from 16 to 31, when — through one marriage and out the other side — he eschewed the suicidal path of his fellow Washingtonian Kurt Cobain and joined AA. He left the Catholic Church and became a Mormon. Beck says his intellectual development was nourished by close reading of Nietzsche, Hitler, Billy Graham and Carl Sagan. He started his Mercury Radio Arts company in 2002 and in less than a decade was earning $23-million per year with a big national audience. Hitler taught him the uses of fear, and also the total irrelevance of criticisms that the fears he touted were phantasms from some distant time — the ‘60s, the ‘30s, the early ‘20s, all patches of the 20th century when the left had some heft. To Americans in the late ‘90s and current decade, maxed out on their credit cards, with negative equity in their homes amid a political culture swerving relentlessly to the right, Beck endlessly promoted the conspiracies and looming threat of a left in this country, which in reality has effectively ceased to exist. “Progressives,” today’s milque-

toast substitute for old-line radicals, have trembled at his ravings about the left’s conspiracies against freedom. I found them heartening. Respect at last! Who but Beck could turn a conservative African-American Harvard grad, the errand boy for corporate America, into a latterday recreation of W.E.B. DuBois and Malcolm X, now installed — oh, the horror! — in the White House. Who but Beck could dredge up Frances Fox Piven as a woman, now in her late 70s, whose theories threaten to drag America into serfdom? Piven and her late partner, Richard Cloward, developed, back in the early 1960s, what was to my mind always a batty notion: that American capitalism would crumble and the arrival of new age of liberation be advanced in schedule if everyone went on welfare. There was no streak of cynicism in Beck, unlike Limbaugh, Hannity and the other right-wing lords of the ether. He lived up to the admonition of the founder of Britain’s popular press, Lord Northcliffe, who told his journalists, “Do not put on the table of Demos (i.e., the people) what you would not put on your own.” Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington, D.C., last August was a striking event. Beck not only gave a speaking slot to Alveda King — one of Martin Luther King Jr.’s nieces, but also paid close attention to race throughout the day. The lineup for the presenters of the three civilian badges of merit for faith, hope and charity were an American Indian presenting to an African-American, a white man presenting to a Dominican and a Mexican-American presenting to a white man, with a black woman accepting on his behalf. “The key message of the ‘Restoring Honor’ rally,” reported Robert Jensen to CounterPunch the next day, “was redemption, personal and collective, the personal intertwined with the collective. Unlike some reactionary right-wingers, Beck spoke often about America’s mistakes — though all of them are safely in the past. Rather than try to downplay slavery, he highlighted it. ... ‘America has been both terribly good and terribly bad,’ leaving us with a choice, he said. ‘We either let those scars crush us or redeem us.’” Limbaugh could not have said those words, nor Ailes nor Murdoch. Rave on, Glenn Beck, but welcome to the margins of the political culture, wherein dwell so many radicals, some of whom you rescued from obscurity and gave them respect, unlike the progressive Jon Stewart, who loses no opportunity to deride them.

LETTERS Abortions account for just 3% of Planned Parenthood’s services To the editor, Planned Parenthood (PP) is an almost 100-year-old organization. The organization receives $363-million in federal funds (not billions), getting its money from both the Title X program and Medicaid. Title X provides grants for family planning and related health services under a law signed by Republican President Richard M. Nixon in December 1970. Planned Parenthood gets about $70-million of the $317-million in Title X spending. The PP organization’s annual budget is $1.1-billion and includes individual donations. It is now under attack for funding by the likes of Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann (a Tea Party darling) and others (Speaker John Boehner) who think it offers nothing to the public other than abortion services. She was quoted as saying: “Planned Parenthood is the Lenscrafters of big abortion.” Lenscrafters executives were not pleased by the inference. In general, federal funds cannot be used for abortion services. Out of ignorance, Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Boehner taint needed health care and think Planned Parenthood should be defunded by the government, perhaps to appease the “religious right.”They were willing to “shut down” Washington DC over this issue! Obviously women, men and especially women’s health providers are incensed by this misconception by Republicans and look to the Democrats to save the program for those in need. Fortunately, President Obama would not budge on the issue last week. “Three percent” of one 100-percent of Planned Parenthood’s total health care services are abortion related. Abortion is legal in the U.S. and a current law. 97-percent of Planned Parenthood’s services, on the other hand, are other critical health care-related

services for both males and females. Most but not all are reproductive health related and needed. The organization annually conducts one million screenings for cervical cancer, 830,000 breast exams and some four-million tests and treatments for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Critical PP services that would be decreased or abolished without future federal support are: breast cancer screening, preventing cervical cancer, female infertility, menopause, menstruation, ovarian cancer, Pap tests, pelvic exams, Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) in men and women, yeast infection and vaginitis, birth control (male/female) methods/effectiveness, sterilization for women and vasectomy for men. Additionally there is: anemia testing, cholesterol and diabetes screening, blood pressure tests, physical exams, flu vaccines, help with quitting smoking, tetanus vaccines, thyroid screening, male infertility, testicular cancer, pre-pregnancy health/education, prenatal care, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, relationship counseling/ responsibilities, gender identity, sexual orientation, safe sex, STD Testing (~14 reproductive diseases) including HIV, PID, HPV and other diseases of severe consequences, left unattended. Supporting women’s and men’s reproductive and endocrine health is a must for Americans and federal cuts to Planned Parenthood should not be an option in deficit reduction or reducing the annual U.S. budget. Communicable diseases, left unchecked, would cost billions in future health care costs and jeopardize the well-being of adolescents, young adults of childbearing age, babies and the population in general. Planned Parenthood helps prevent that from occurring. Jack Polidoro Laconia

Sen. Forsythe & Rep. Comtois aren’t representing constituents To the editor, SB-27 was handed over to the House Resource, Recreation and Development Committee, of which four representatives hailed from the Lake Region. From there, the legislature played a dirty game and it was slid to the House Transportation Com-

Dean Dexter

A tribute to Gil Center Well, I threw my share of spit balls in Gil Center’s history class, and enjoyed whatever mischief and high jinx some of us who should have known better could get away with. Still, there was no denying that the soft-spoken “Mr.” Center, ever a gentleman of the “old school,” loved, indeed, had a passion for history. World history, American history, state and local history. Aside from family, and the traditions of God and country, these were indeed Gilbert S. Center’s great passions. Later, after he retired from the classroom to take on other endeavors, the “Mr.” changed to “Gil” in our commiserations. Whether it was talking about the stranglehold the railroads had on New Hampshire politics in the 1800s, the hammer-lock nefarious interests that the Rockingham Park race track had over state government until the 1970s, or when the great paddle wheeler Mount Washington burned and sank in Lake Winnipesaukee, Gil Center was ready with an insight, a story, an observation which would often bring context and depth to present day events. When a modern speaker of the House yanked favored parking spaces and choice seating assignments from maverick legislators who dared cross his agenda, we’d laugh about how speakers of generation’s past would pass out free railroad passes to solons who “voted right,” from private rooms at Concord’s old Eagle Hotel, situated across from the Statehouse. We would chuckle and shake our heads at how little decades, even centuries have on the make-up of politics and human nature. After 25 years on the Laconia High School faculty, Gil became executive director of the New Hampshire Bicentennial Commission, where he assisted state and county officials and local communities in their celebrations of the nation’s 200th birthday. The framed bicentennial flag

from preceding page Hikel is co-sponsor of SB-27. Humm… smells like fish to me? One only has to take a look at a N.H. DeLorme Map to see the area of The Broads, in which high speed boating will be designated, lies over 90-percent in the town of Alton. It is shameful Senator Forsythe, who represents Alton sold out his constituents who want speed limits left alone, to a group of go-fast boaters who do not live in the Lakes Region. A March 29 & 30, 2011 poll was conducted by Magellan Data & Mapping Strategies, LLC, Louisville, CO. An autodial survey of 775 residents in the towns around Lake Winnipesaukee revealed 69-percent oppose increasing the boat speed limit to 55 mph in The Broads and 72-percent favor the current boat

on display at the Belknap County courthouse was presented to the people of the county by Gil Center in commemoration of this event. Later Gil served as director of the Statehouse Visitor’s Center, where his knowledge of political figures and significant events in Granite State history was an irreplaceable resource, missed to this day. His knowledge, for instance, of the priceless collection of oil-on-canvas portraits throughout the state house and state library, and the artists who painted them, would have made a great elective in any collegelevel art history course. When I had the pleasure of successfully sponsoring a bill to preserve shore land and 200 acres at the Laconia State School for purposes of a state park, if and when the facility ever ceased to operate as an institution, Gil Center was an enthusiastic supporter and one of the first to testify in favor before House and Senate committees. With his and the support of others in the Lakes Region, Ahern Park is now a reality. Locally, Gil was a stalwart member and supporter of the Laconia Historical and Museum Society, and the long-time “Our Yesterday’s” columnist for the-then Laconia Evening Citizen, before being succeeded by the intrepid local historian, Warren Huse. Gil Center, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, passed away on February 1 at the age of 90, lucid and smart to the end. Yes, another of the “Greatest Generation” is now gone. Great teachers are a gift to a community, and through the years Laconia has had its share. Gil Center was one of them, both in and outside the classroom. (Dean Dexter is a former newspaperman, who has served as chairman of the Belknap County Commission, the Laconia School Board, and as a state representative from Ward 4. He now resides in Meredith and Concord.)

speed limit of 45/30. Senator Forsythe is bad for residents, bad for business! Even more nauseating is Representative Guy Comtois of Barnstead, who represents Alton and appears to have no better conscience. Representative Comtois sponsored SB-27 – going against the wishes of the majority of Lake Region residents and going against local business, which have commended the enactment of speed limits on the Big Lake. Why are our legislators selling out to special interest and dumping on Alton? Tell Representative Comtois not to make the same mistake as Senator Forsythe – say NO to SB-27 – vote ITL and leave the speed limits alone! Mark & Nancy Watson Alton Bay

Is Brenda Baer only voice of reason on Laconia City Council? To the editor, I would like to thank Ward 4 Councilor Baer for sticking up for the taxpayers of Laconia. I guess the other members of the city council did not get the memo. It seems councilor Baer is the only one who realizes what the rest of the state and county know, we are broke! How can the City Council in good conscience vote to spend $9,500 for an appraisal of the prison property? What are they thinking? At the state and county level we are cutting budgets and spending so we will not have to lay off people. How can they say to the city employees they have to cut back or maybe lose their jobs, yet the city can spend $ 9,500 which we do

not have, to get an appraisal on property we cannot afford. Where in the world do you think you are going to get the money? We are taxed enough and some have lost their jobs or have not received a raise in years. Is this the attitude of the City Council: “taxpayer be dammed”? What are your plans for this property? How do you plan on paying for it? What I am surprised at is that with the exception of Councilor Baer everyone voted to go along with his proposal. Did you not hear the voice of the people last November? Please stop and rethink what you are doing to our city. Harry Accornero Laconia

Dictators know lots of people are lazy so policies favor them To the editor, The April 7 Laconia Daily Sun has many revaluations about honest conservatives, and the liberals who have for over a century tried to destroy the USA for their own selfish greed. Jim Hightower’s column, although written in the negative, is very informative about the socialist, fascist, communist attempts to take over and destroy the USA for over 100 years. If socialist Roosevelt had not been elected, the Great Depression would not have happened. If Obama had not been elected, our current depression would not have happened. The socialist, communist, fascist idea is that government leaders are the only ones allowed to get RICH, and those too lazy to work will get all the same benefits as those who work honestly. PLEASE note the BIAS: those “dictators” know there are a lot more lazy people out there, thus favor them at the expense of the honest hard workers. Production will be a LOT less, but the dictator gets more votes! Does that strike a bell with you: Obama refuses to obey LAWS against illegal immigrants because he expects to get more votes from those illegals! Fraud votes are common in the USA, proven by the way Obama got to be “president”.

In Wisconsin the recent vote for judge was obviously tilted with more than 10,000 false votes from union LIARS. Bob Meade summed it up with his letter. Kevin Leandro showed that the same problem is in local government, an illegal, unresponsive, out of control school board, making Gilford unique in the nation with most outrageous cost for education, with the worst results. When we moved here in 1975 Gilford had top quality education. In the last 12 years the quality has gone to near rock bottom, while the cost has gone to the top. In the last 67 years (when I’ve been observing it), political rhetoric has never been as impolite, or nasty, as it has been from unions and Democrats as it is now. Union members (mostly Democrats) yell and insult all others when there is any attempt to make them fair. Now that there is an almost organized attack on union excesses, they squeal worst than a stuck PIG, but PIG describes them best. As expected, Richard Stuart comes to their dishonest support, since he has never supported fairness. Maybe John Demakowski summed it up in his great letter on pg 6. Jack Stephenson Gilford

12 unions in list of top 25 political contributors; 97% to Dems To the editor, We often hear our friends on the left bemoaning all the special interest money that is influencing our politicians. In fact, their constant drone encouraged me to do a bit of research to determine who are those nasty people and corporations that are undermining good government. After all, here’s a fight on which we can agree. To that end, I went to the website of the Center for Responsive Politics (OpenSecrets.org) to see what I could find. Here is a summary of the top twenty-five contributors to Democrats and Republicans for 2010. In the number one position is an organization named “Act Blue”. It gave a total of $29.1-million to Democrats, and $0.00 to Republicans. Act Blue is an organization designed to solicit and collect campaign contributions over the Internet, specifically for Democrats. The second group is unions. In the top 25 contributors, there are 12 unions. They gave a total of $62.3-million to Democrats, and a whopping

$2.1 to Republicans. It’s worth noting that $35-million of the money that went to Democrats came from government employees (teachers, letter carriers, and other government workers). There are four companies, or groups, that have given 98-percent or more of their contributions to Republicans — a total of $20.9 million. Rounding out the top 25 are eight business companies that have donated a total of $36.5-million to political parties — $20-million to Democrats and $16.5-million to Republicans. Hmmm, it appears that American private enterprise is a bit more “fair and balanced” than are the unions. Who woulda thought! The grand total of the top 25 contributors stands at Democrats receiving $111.4-million and Republicans $38.5-million. A little further research at that website also showed that in 2010, Democrats raised $815-million in campaign contributions and Republicans had to managed with only $617-million. For see next page

114 from page 2 more you do for others, the better shape you’re in.”) Then there’s the hardest part. It’s a lesson Breuning said he learned from his grandfather: Accept death. “We’re going to die. Some people are scared of dying. Never be afraid to die. Because you’re born to die,” he said. Breuning died of natural causes in a Great Falls hospital where he had been a patient for much of April with an undisclosed illness, said Stacia Kirby, spokeswoman for the Rainbow Senior Living retirement home where Breuning lived. He was the oldest man in the world and the second-oldest person, according to the Los Angeles-based Gerontology Research Group. Besse Cooper of Monroe, Ga. — born 26 days earlier — is the world’s oldest person. In an interview with The Associated Press at his home in the Rainbow Retirement Community in Great Falls last October, Breuning recounted the past century — and what its revelations and advances meant to him — with the wit and plain-spokenness that defined him. His life story is, in a way, a slice of the story of the country itself over more than a century. At the beginning of the new century — that’s the 20th century — Breuning moved with his family from Melrose, Minn., to De Smet, S.D., where his father had taken a job as an engineer. That first decade of the 1900s was literally a dark age for his family. They had no electricity or running water. A bath for young Walter would require his mother to fetch water from the well outside and heat it on the coal-burning stove. from preceding page the 2012 elections, President Obama has his sights set on increasing contribution to $1-billion. I bet that will buy some good government. Now, will all those Democrats who are prepared to fight with me against the “special interests” please step forward. Bob Meade

LETTERS $10 OFF* Brunch for Two

I appreciate Dr. Sandy motivating me to become more enlightened To the editor, The learned Professor, Leo Sandy proclaimed from on high that I should do my homework in order to better understand the meaning of “multiculturalism”. His wish is my command because contrary to the high priest of the hallowed halls of academia, I do have far more questions than answers. It is possible he misconstrued my firm beliefs in God, country and the Constitution as arrogance and ignorance. Perhaps easily done by someone whose ethos is derived from some mind bending, egalitarian existentialism. The notion that all cultures are equal is pure poppycock. The professor may perceive that as arrogance and ignorance. I perceive that as perspicacity and self-preservation. I am keenly enamored with diversity, of culture, ethnicity, race and thought as put forth in a pure form of multuculturalism. Certainly, exposure to different cultures creates understanding, openness and empathy which on it’s face is a very good thing. That does not appear to be the interpretation espoused by too many of those of the Islamic faith who have immigrated to other countries. When a group of people demand to maintain their own nationality within a host nation, a problem is created. When they choose to remain separate, have a different rule of law and essentially colonize themselves, they become a threat to the sacred nationality of the host country. Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, Sweden and the Netherlands have already confirmed that hypothesis. This type of faux multiculturalism as practiced by many Muslims actually undermines diversity while promoting separatism. It is entirely possible that the professor was hoping I would come to realize that multiculturalism as it exists today is actually a euphemism for cultural relativism. Which of course would be the belief that all cultures and all ideologies are exactly equal. If that was his goal, well then, mission accomplished. Of course, as I said earlier, that is pure, unadulterated poppycock. Shocking as this may be, I think the following is undeniable. Just as todays’ liberals and progressives co-opted classical liberalism, so to have they co-opted classical multiculturalism, hiding behind accusations of racism while being impervious to criticism. How else to explain the NY Times spending much, more time searching for nonexistent racists at Tea Parties rather than investigating Shariah financiers or Muslim terrorist training camps. Or why the National Organization for Women would be more bedeviled by Christine O’Donnell and Jan Brewer than clitoridectomies, stonings and honor killings. So much for the maturation of NOW from the days when they were guided by pithy

sayings like, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” or “No woman gets an orgasm shining the kitchen floor”. Shhh, we musn’t mention the horror of genital mutilation of young girls because it might upset Muslim nations who naturally would want to kill someone. I do appreciate Dr. Leo Sandy motivating me to become more enlightened about the world around me. I know that at times I reference him with tongue firmly planted in cheek, but I sincerely mean that. He challenges me to back up my assumptions about life and that keeps my ex-military mind sharp and in focus and for that I am humbly grateful. If the professor happens to read this letter, I do have some questions for him. Is it not paradoxically painful that in Europe, multiculturalism would appear to be racist since it is dividing and clashing with the cultures and peoples of those countries? And is that not what is happening right here in this country? Is it not now in vogue to allow cultures to remain neatly separated on shelves while society ranks them according to which ones deserve more of our compassion? How else to explain why a terribly misguided minister can burn one Koran to make a point about freedom of expression and we are ready to pass a law against Koran burning? The folks in Muslim countries who killed as a result of the destruction of one Koran were not considered part of the radical terrorist element, but rather just a normal response from a Muslim country. Or why even questioning whether or not building a mosque/ multicultural center near Ground Zero is appropriate, elicits cries of bigotry and Islamophobia? While at the same time, burning flags and putting crosses in urine and getting rid of all signs of Christianity in public is right and proper?! According to a CNN report, in 2009, all bibles written in the two most common languages of Afghan were confiscated and subsequently burned. Apparently, that was because of a fear that an American soldier might try to convert a Muslim to Christianity, which would, of course, cause another killing spree throughout Muslim nations. Thanks so much ACLU (American Center for Loons and Unicorns) who are so tireless in their quest for anti-American double standards. At least one inquiring mind would like to know how this perverted form of multiculturalism is going to make this planet a safer, more peaceful and accepting place? Anyway, thanks again professor, I think I now know what multiculturalism really means. In a nutshell, diversity is good, multiculturalism is bad, very bad. Russ Wiles Tilton

Local independent business alliance has 100 members as it approaches 3rd birthday BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — July will mark three years since a group of local business owners organized to create the Belknap Independent Business Alliance (BIBA). In a recent interview, members of the board of directors said the organization has designs on making 2011 the best year yet for BIBA. “The local thing is becoming the ‘in’ thing, and not just retail,” said Randy Bullerwell, one of the owners of All My Life Jeweler. Bullerwell, one of the founders of BIBA, said he was inspired to start organizing an independent business alliance in 2008 because he was frustrated by the broken, low-quality products that customers brought in for repairs. Despite their experiences, he watched as those customers continued to buy their goods online or through chain stores. He felt that although his small, family-run shop was offering better quality and service, All My Life couldn’t compete with the marketing budget of national competitors. That is, he couldn’t compete on his own. Through BIBA, local businesspeople have the change to “band together and brand us.” BIBA had 25 members when it formed and is now about four times as large. Bullerwell thinks the organization’s membership could continue to grow and as it does, it will grow its ability to develop the BIBA brand. That brand is “local,” and if there are residents who haven’t heard why they should spend their money at a local, independent business, they’ll hear about it soon enough. BIBA is undertaking an aggressive marketing campaign this year to promote its message, as enunci-

SHEA-P from page 2 he called Shea-Porter’s failure to protect small businesses. In her message, SheaPorter said she wants to continue working for what she calls the “bottom 99 percent of Americans.” She accused the current Congress of passing legislation that will hurt average Americans and said she will focus on education, job creation and reducing the debt without dismantling essential programs. She described her parents as hardworking taxpayers who supported Social Security and Medicare when the worked and used them when they retired. “My parents lived the American dream,” she said. “Please join me once again as we journey towards a better destiny for all.” from preceding page child who told them he was sleeping in his bedroom when “he heard what he believed to be a gun shot and a lot of people yelling.” City police continue to investigate and a warrant has been issued for McNeil’s arrest.

ated by Ryan Robinson, one of directors on the board of BIBA: “When you shop locally, you’re investing back in your own business, back in your own wallet.” Robinson was referring to studies that conclude that locallyowned businesses spend more of their revenue at other local entities, while national chains send almost all of their revenue out of state. Even worse, he said, is shopping online, where every penny of that dollar is removed from the local economy. Chris McCarthy, also a member of the BIBA board of directors, said the marketing campaign will focus on educating consumers, “you don’t need to run to the box stores for pruducts and services.” The marketing campaign is just one of three initiatives BIBA members decided to push this year. In addition, the alliance hopes to promote its “Meet and Greet” events, which encourage local entrepreneurs as well as local residents to get to know the people behind businesses in Belknap County. The third leg of BIBA’s 2011 strategy is to increase the use of BIBA Cards, both by BIBA members and by local consumers. BIBA’s “Meet and Greet” events are networking events hosted by local businesses. Unlike the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce’s “Business

After Hours” events, the “Meet and Greet” events are designed for local consumers as well as other business people. “What we’re looking for is to include the general community,” said Robinson. The events are useful to retailers but are most helpful to service providers, especially those who may not have a public storefront or other means to interface with the public. Another way for local consumers to interact with their local entrepreneurs is through the BIBA Card, which entitles card holders to certain benefits when patronizing participating businesses. There are currently about 40 local retailers and service providers that offer benefits to those carrying the card, of which more than 1,000 have been distributed. Bullerwell would like to see both the number of participating businesses and the number of card-carrying consumers increase by a significant measure this year. As though BIBA had spent its first year clearing land and the second year fertilizing soil, Bullerwell said the organization has worked hard since its founding and he expects to see great progress this year. As he said, “The first year it sleeps, the second year it creeps, the third year it leaps. I think we’re leaping this year.”

Sunny and Marshall Bishop have started an alpaca farm and winery at the Gilmanton property that Grace Metalious purchased with income from her controversial and celebrated novel “Peyton Place.” (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

GRACE from page one was the former home of legendary author Grace Metalious. The Bishops – Marshall is a retired combat photographer for the United States Marine Corps and Sunny is a flight attendant for American Airlines – have now lived at 528 Meadow Pond Road for five years. Their alpaca herd currently numbers 11 members, the vineyard has 700 grape vines and the occasional dinners they host are selling out. The Bishops didn’t think twice when they learned of the property’s famous prior owner and are enjoying their time in the house that “Peyton Place” built. “It’s a fun house to live in,” said Marshall. Metalious enjoyed sudden success with the 1956 publication of “Peyton Place,” which spent more than a year on the New York Times list of best sellers. The small house she purchased was built in 1756 and Metalious saw fit to add enough rooms to create a home that was four times its initial size. Metalious’s famous book dealt explicitly with subjects that were only whispered about in small New England towns in the 1950s. It brought her fortune, though subsequent literary efforts never came close to the success of Peyton Place. Metalious died of liver disease in 1964 when she was just 39 years old. However, the Bishops report that the house has forgotten the difficulties Metalious experienced as

a result of her fame. Instead, they say it has the energy of a home about to host a good time. “It’s a cool house,” said Sunny. “The house has a very 50s feel to it. She liked to drink and have parties and she built it that way.” Just as Metalious bought the property and converted it to her design, the Bishops didn’t waste any time making the home their own. Marshall planted grapes in 2007 as soon as the ground shed its winter frost. They’ve since cleared a few acres for alpaca pasture, built a barn and most recently built a porch and converted the three-car garage into a winery. The Bishops are able to operate a winery in Gilmanton thanks to hybrid grape varieties that are able to thrive in a cold climate with a short growing season and supplemented grapes shipped from Chile. Working with the guidance of winemaker John Jude, they created five red wines, a white wine and a signature blend, called “Grace’s,” of their white Seyval grape and Concord grapes. The resulting beverage is rose in color but not as sweet as its appearance would suggest. It’s a wine that tasters have found intriguing, the Bishops report. They’ve filled 780 bottles of their 2010 wine and think they’ll sell out sometime this summer. The 2011 batch, which they expect will arrive in early fall, will be about twice the volume of the 2010 run. In addition to the wine, which can only be pursee next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 15, 2011— Page 13

Circus owner John Ringling North, II to visit Laconia at time of Big Top arrival LACONIA — The Wilkins-Smith American Legion Post 1 announced Thursday that John Ringling North II, owner of the Oklahoma-based Kelly-Miller Circus, will travel to Laconia this summer for the circus’s first visit to New Hampshire. It was previously announced the circus would set up it “big top” at Memorial Field in Laconia during the general time frame of the Independence Day holiday. North, who resides in England, is said to be extremely excited to journey to the Lakes Region

area with his circus. According to Jim Royal, KellyMiller general Manger, North said, “Who would not want to be in the Lakes Region in July”. North grew up in the crcus world being a member of the “World Famous Ringling Family”. He started as a clown. The Kelly-Miller Circus was founded in 1938 and hails from Hugo, Oklahoma. The circus is now slowly making its way up the East Coast. They left their winter quarters in the third week of February and will return in late November. They will play in over

220 cities and towns starting in the nations heartland to the Atlantic — from the Gulf to the borders of Canada. They currently are playing in Missouri. More announcements will be forth coming as the event nears the Lakes Region area. Tickets will be on sale shortly and ticket outlets will be posted. Advance ticket sales will offer tickets at $10 for adults, $6 for children up to 12 years of age. Tickets will be available at the circus gate on circus dates but at higher pricing.

from preceding page chased at the winery, the Bishops sell alpaca yarn and host monthly dinners catered by Ellie Murphy. The next dinner will be hosted on Saturday night and will feature a viewing of the film version of “Peyton Place.” The five-course dinners cost $65 per couple and reservations are strongly recommended as the limited seating often sells out. Starting with Easter weekend, the Bishops will add brunches to their repertoire. Also catered by

Murphy, the brunches will be served from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and they plan to offer them on the first and third Sundays of each month. The schedule may be altered as the season progresses. Those who wish to visit the property are welcome to stop by between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursdays through Sundays. For more information, call 2678251 or visit www.gilmantonwinery.com. What’s it like to live in Grace’s home? They say it’s been great. Although there are hints here and there

that some local residents with long memories are still resentful that Metalious spilled closely-held secrets 45 years ago, they report they’ve been warmly received, whether by neighbors or by town or state officials, who seem to be glad that they’re developing the historic home into a commercial venture. “I love it,” Sunny said of her home, which offers a welcome change from air travel environs. “It’s quiet.” “We’re trying to take it one day at a time and have fun with it,” said Marshall.

TRASH from page one After presenting the cuts, Cabanel told the council that a proposal to increase recycling by introducing “pay-as-you-throw” (PAYT) was being prepared, which could offer an alternative to reducing the budget. Although she did not elaborate, PAYT programs are considered the most promising means of significantly reducing solid waste costs. The proposed 2011-2012 solid waste budget, which is funded primarily by property taxes, is $1.9-million, half of which — $970,000 — consists of the tipping fee of $66.80 per ton paid to the Concord Regional Solid Waste/Resource Recovery Cooperative to incinerate the waste. Altogether the current cost of collecting, transporting and incinerating solid waste is $147.24 per ton. The city generates approximately 14,000 tons of solid waste a year — 5,200 tons by residents and 8,800 tons by businesses. The city pays a fixed price of $10,000 a month for collecting recyclable materials regardless of the tonnage. Each ton of solid waste removed from the waste stream by recycling represents an “avoided cost” of $147.24 per ton. “Pay-as-you-throw” is intended to increase recycling by requiring residents to place the trash they do not recycle in a marked plastic bag — in Concord the bags are purple and called “Barney Bags” — purchased at local grocery and hardware stores. The trash, together with recyclable materials, is collected at the curbside once a week. Trash not placed in a “Barney Bag” is not picked up.

PAYT provides an incentive to recycle by imposing a cost on adding to the waste stream by failing to recycle. Those opposed to PAYT claim that charging a fee for refuse collection in addition to property taxes is unjust. Supporters of the program counter that recycling significantly reduces solid waste costs for the entire community. PAYT, they insist, not only encourages recycling but also rewards it by ensuring that households and businesses pay in proportion to the solid waste they generate, without subsidizing those that produce more by failing to recycle. As a rule of thumb 60-percent of residential and commercial waste can be recycled. However, rough estimates indicate that by recycling 40-percent the city could achieve net savings of nearly $500,000. At current rates, the annual cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of 14,000 tons of solid waste is almost $1.5-million. If 40-percent, or 5,600 tons, were recycled, the cost would be reduced by more than $596,000. Less the $120,000 expense of collecting recyclable materials the net reduction in the solid waste budget would be almost $477,000. This is a conservative estimate that does not include any expenses or revenues associated with a PAYT program or any proceeds from the sale of recyclable materials. There are few if any operations in municipal government that offer comparable savings to property taxpayers without significantly diminishing the quality of municipal services.

PLUNGE from page 2 ages 5 and 2 and an 11-month-old girl — as the minivan began sinking. “She was holding on to all of them and said, ‘If I’m going to die, you’re all going to die with me,’” Ryan said. “She said that two or three times.” But as the vehicle sank, La’Shaun broke free of his mother’s grasp and clambered out a window. Ryan said: “While he was doing that, he heard his mother saying, ‘I made a mistake, I made a terrible mistake.’ And she tried to reverse the car out, but at that time it was too late. He said, ‘Mommy, I’m going to go get help,’ and she said, ‘OK.’ And that was the last he heard from his mother.” Ryan drove the boy to a nearby fire station. Rescuers immediately went to the river, but it was too late: They found the van about 25 yards from shore in 8 feet of water. Lashanda Armstrong and three children were dead. Ryan’s account conforms to reports from police, who say Armstrong was involved in a domestic incident at her apartment Tuesday evening and within minutes had plunged off a boat ramp into the river just a half-mile from her apartment in a hard-luck section of the city. The Facebook message, posted from Armstrong’s BlackBerry, was obtained by MidHudsonNews.com. It posted on her page at 7:13 p.m. Tuesday, about a half-hour before she drove into the river. “I don’t know if we’ll ever find out what Lashanda Armstrong was thinking when she left that home and drove to the river,” Newburgh police Chief Michael Ferrara said. Lt. Bruce Campbell said police had heard from at least two witnesses who said they saw a minivan speed through an intersection at the boat launch’s entrance fast enough that the vehicle appeared to

bottom out on the bumpy pavement. “She went through it at a pretty good pace,” Campbell said. The witnesses, motorists who had stopped at a stop sign, “just thought it was kids driving fast or acting up,” he said. They apparently didn’t see what happened next, he said. Campbell said police believe Armstrong hit the water going 15 to 20 mph. There was no substantial damage to the vehicle’s front end, and the airbags didn’t deploy, he said. A stream of people went to the boat ramp Thursday, and friends and neighbors gathered to try to process the tragedy. Ashonti George, 21, laid a red rose on the doorway to Armstrong’s apartment Thursday morning. The two women were in the same math class at Orange County Community College. George, of Newburgh, said that Armstrong usually was an attentive student but wasn’t herself during a Tuesday morning test. “She was off,” George said. “She didn’t seem like herself. She seemed angry — off. That’s the best way I can explain it.” People lit candles near the spot where the van entered the water. Natasha Colon and Nicole Callahan, both mothers from Newburgh, were among the mourners. “I just wanted to say a prayer for them and for the boy who’s going to go through a lot,” Colon said. Callahan added: “They were innocent babies.” Jay Vandervort, a Newburgh resident who said he was a friend of Armstrong’s, also stopped by the boat ramp. He said he last saw her about a month ago. “She just seemed happy-go-lucky, like everything’s good,” he said.

David Warren will take attendees on an educational journey aboard the first successful commercial steamboat on Winnipesaukee, and in his opinion, the most important boat in the entire history of the

lake. The discussion will include the early days of commerce and tourism on the lake, the launching of the Lady, how she evolved, and her last days. In addition, Warren will read excerpts from a diary written by the mother of one of the crew members. The Library will have on display, until the end of May, a model of the Chocorua made by Warren.

LACONIA – Mark B. Pace from St. Paul’s Church in Concord, NH, will perform for the Congregational Church of Laconia on Friday, April 15 at noon for the third concert in their Lenten Music Series. Mark Pace grew up in the mountains of North Carolina. He attended the University of North CaroMark Pace lina at Greensboro, where he received three degrees - an undergraduate in music education with a concentration in choral music, and an undergraduate and graduate degree in organ performance. All three degrees were with high honors. He later studied for several years with Janette Fishell, now head of the organ department of Indiana University. Mark was organist/choirmaster at First United Methodist Church of Rocky Mount, NC, where he was responsible for an active music program that included over 150 weekly participants. A high point of his stay in Rocky Mount was the purchase and installation of the church’s three-manual 55 rank Goulding and Wood pipe organ. Mark played for six years with the Rocky Mount Flute Choir in North Carolina.

Mark came to St. Paul’s Church in Concord in August of 2003. During his tenure at St. Paul’s Church he has established a program of both vocal and instrumental music working with children and adults in all areas of church music. At St. Paul’s Church he enjoys playing the violin with a string ensemble. His newest instrument “de jour” is the alto recorder. Mark began music at the age of 16 when he purchased his own piano with money that he had earned from farm labor. Having had the love, but not the opportunity to study music as a child, Mark has made up for this as an adult. He began pedal harp 18 years ago and has played the harp professionally with orchestra and ballet productions. Mark has played and studied other various instruments over the past 15 years, including the violin/viola, oboe, classical guitar and flute. For more information, contact the Congregation Church of Laconia, 18 Veteran’s Square, Laconia, NH, 524-0668, or visit their website: www.laconiaucc.org.

Diane McMillen, president of the New Hampshire Federation of Garden Clubs (NHFGC), will share news from around the state. In addition, Judy Gray, master gardener and past president and member of the Ashland Garden Club, will lead a workshop entitled “Arranging with Grocery Store Flowers.” Under Gray’s direction, attendees will get “hands on” experience in how to artfully arrange a typical bunch of flowers purchased at any local flower shop, farmers market, grocery store, or even collected in one’s own back yard. Members and guests will learn how to choose the right plant material, condition flowers, and design, using principles and elements of design as outlined in the National Garden Clubs, Inc.

Temple B’nai Israel welcomes community to Passover Seder April 19 LACONIA — Temple B’nai Israel invites members of the community to a Passover Seder at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 19. The holiday’s significance is the remembrance of the Exodus from slavery in Egypt. The eight day period of Passover traditionally begins with the removal of chamez (leavened foods including bread) from every Jewish household. During Pesach (Passover), only unleavened bread and foods are eaten. The rituals of the Seder meal on the first two nights of Passover follow

the story of the exodus told through four cups of wine (grape juice when required) the symbolic Seder plate contents, and conclude with a sumptuous dinner of gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, festive chicken, special desserts, and joyous singing. Rabbi Hannah Orden and Henry Lipman will conduct the Seder and Cantor Melody Funk will lead the singing. Irene Gordon is master chef of the evening and will accept reservations at 267-1935. The cost is $20 for adults and $10 for children under 12 years old.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in a spunky mood, and you’ll be less guarded with what you do and say. Because of this, you have the potential to brighten someone’s day or ruin it, and of course, you’ll choose the first option. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Unbeknownst to you, you are drawing someone in with the intensity of your presence, your sparkling eyes and the gusto you add to the conversation. Be careful, heartbreaker! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though you are open and curious, you will not be easily won. Furthermore, it will take an especially compelling argument to separate you from your money. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You choose what you want because you think it would be fun to have it. You will be careful not to choose out of insecurity or need and will not respond to pressure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Get back into your hobby. Loved ones may at first be jealous of the time you spend doing “your thing,” but they will ultimately be happy for you, as doing what you enjoy makes you a more loving person. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 15). This year grows a new and more confident you. A financial boost will improve many parts of your life. Professional goals will lead you far from your comfort zone. You’ll become masterful at a very difficult task because you keep practicing. A special relationship brings blissful times. Cancer and Leo people are your enthusiastic supporters. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 19, 33, 28 and 1.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s no secret that you’re a giver. You’ll bring around someone else’s good fortune. This will ultimately be more satisfying for you than riding your own lucky streak. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your dreams of last night affect the start of your day. Your subconscious has had its fun, but in the morning light, it is time to push the mental “reset” button and take control of your own mind and mood. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will produce the equivalent of a rabbit out of a hat. It’s a trick, the usefulness of which is questionable, but that doesn’t keep it from being a sheer delight to your rapt audience. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Avoid a game that’s too easy for you. Your nerves will tell you whether you’re playing at the right level. And you can channel your nervous energy to give you the edge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your energy is vibrant, though not necessarily constant. As superhuman as you feel, you still require downtime to recharge. Make time to relax and get grounded, and you’ll stay strong. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be in a cautious mood, looking out for those more reckless. Someone has to! Your kindness will not be directly repaid, but doing the right thing is its own reward. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll work on your core -- if not your abs then your emotional core. You are loved and valued. By focusing and feeling this at a very deep level, you’ll attract more of the same.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, April 15, the 105th day of 2011. There are 260 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 15, 1861, following the Confederate takeover of Fort Sumter, President Abraham Lincoln declared a state of insurrection and called out Union troops. On this date: In 1817, the first permanent American school for the deaf opened in Hartford, Conn. In 1850, the city of San Francisco was incorporated. In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died, nine hours after being shot the night before by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington. Andrew Johnson became the nation’s 17th president. In 1912, the British luxury liner RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic off Newfoundland, less than three hours after striking an iceberg; some 1,500 people died. In 1945, during World War II, British and Canadian troops liberated the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. In 1947, Jackie Robinson, baseball’s first black major league player, made his official debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on opening day. (The Dodgers defeated the Boston Braves, 5-3.) In 1959, Cuban leader Fidel Castro arrived in Washington to begin a goodwill tour of the United States. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles resigned for health reasons (he was succeeded by Christian A. Herter). In 1960, a three-day conference to form the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) began at Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. (The group’s first chairman was Marion Barry.) In 1986, the United States launched an air raid against Libya in response to the bombing of a discotheque in Berlin on April 5; Libya said 37 people, mostly civilians, were killed. One year ago: An ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano drifted over northern Europe, causing the largest disruption of flights since the 2001 terror attacks. President Barack Obama, visiting the Kennedy Space Center, predicted his new space exploration plans would lead American astronauts to Mars and back in his lifetime.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 15, 2011— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 21 and have a baby with my boyfriend, “Emmett,” who is 19. I love him dearly, but I don’t know what to do with him. He is unemployed and goes out all the time. I am stuck with two young children at home while Emmett does nothing but sleep and party. I continue to support him, but he hardly helps with the kids or around the house. There are several minimum wage positions available to him, but he’s stubborn and wants something better. He says he wants to support the family on his own. As much as I would love that, it’s just not possible at this time. Also, Emmett is mean, saying I complain too much about what he needs to do, that it will happen in time. I’ve suggested counseling because we fight so much, but he refuses. Meanwhile, he is draining my finances with his constant speeding tickets and, most recently, a broken car window that I cannot afford to fix. How do I convince him to settle for a minimum wage job and work on our relationship before it’s too late? -- Love Struck for a Mule Dear Love Struck: You sound like a sensible woman, but Emmett is 19 and not mature enough to be a responsible partner and father. He wants to have fun with his friends. He resents having to work for a living and support a family. You cannot force him to grow up. Frankly, you’d be better off financially if you asked him to leave and sued for child support. Dear Annie: I work for a small company, and like many others, we’ve had cutbacks, layoffs and reduced benefits. One co-worker uses her time to manage her personal life. She does very little work. She is constantly texting, writing emails to friends and updating her blog, and she blatantly lies about the length of time she takes for a lunch break. The company is paying her to do nothing, while others

have lost their jobs. I brought this situation to the attention of the managers last year, and her behavior has only worsened. I feel it is immoral for her to be paid a full salary for not working, while others are being cut back. How far up the corporate chain should I take this without risking my own job? -- Frustrated Worker Dear Frustrated: If your company has an HR department, you can register a complaint there. It’s possible this woman has some kind of “protected” status. While it isn’t fair, you cannot force management to get rid of her. The best you can do is focus on your own job and try to ignore her. Dear Annie: I’d like to share my solution for teaching children manners. When my kids were 9, 8 and 7, we started a tradition of formal Thursday night dinners. I would shop in the morning and cook all afternoon, and then we would eat in the dining room with the good china, silver and crystal. The children had a choice: If they wished to build mashed potato forts and shoot each other with pea cannonballs, that was fine. But it meant they would have their supper in the kitchen. On the other hand, if they wished to eat with us in the dining room, they had to use their very best grownup manners. That included eating with the proper forks from a choice of at least three, as well as two knives. They always chose the dining room, and their manners were impeccable. I’m proud of them. -- No Pea Shooters in My Home Dear No: Very impressive. You made eating in the dining room a way to feel grown up and accomplished. It undoubtedly was a source of pride for them, as well. Annie’s Snippet for Income Tax Day (author unknown): Did you ever notice that when you put the words “The” and “IRS” together, it spells “THEIRS”?

‘Mountain Lions - the Return of a Native’ is topic of program at Loon Center on April 21 MOULTONBOROUGH — The Lakes Region Chapter of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire will offer a program titled “Mountain Lions - the Return of a Native,” at the Loon Center at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 21. Researcher Bill Betty, an expert on cougars, will give the presentation. Betty has lectured extensively about the big cats, and has encountered them personally over a dozen times in the last four decades. The animals called cougars, mountain lions, pumas, or catamounts weigh about 150 pounds, and have a long tail. Few amateur naturalists would mistake a bobcat or lynx for a cougar. There have been hundreds of cougar sightings in the northeast in the last 50 years, and a New Hampshire Fish and Game staff member sighted one in Barnstead a few years ago.

On March 2, 2011, however, the US Fish and Wildlife Service declared the Eastern Cougar officially extinct. It had been on the endangered species list since 1973. Were they Eastern Cougars — or released animals from elsewhere? Recent genetic evidence from eastern Canadian cougars showed Latin American ancestry, and midwestern animals had western genes. The last Eastern Cougar was probably shot before 1930, but the DNA of one cat sample could disprove that. Whether or not mountain lions, whatever their origin, are (or should be) breeding in New England is a controversial subject. Betty will cover mountain lion behavior, discuss where and when to look for them, and how to collect evidence. For more information, visit www.easterncougar.org.
