3 local cops stopped short of finish line after bomb blasts

BOSTON — Three Lakes Region police officers taking part in Monday’s Boston Marathon were not injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line, killing two people and injuring more than 100.

Lt. Rich Simmons of the Laconia Police Department and Sgt. Robert Chase of Meredith were about a halfmile from the finish line when the blasts went off at about 2:50 p.m. according to Officer Tom Dawson of the Franklin Police Department, who said that he was around the 24-mile point of the 26.2 mile race when he and other runners were stopped by race officials.

Dawson said that his wife, Jill, and daughter Zoe, 13, and son Chance, 9, were making their way to the finish line in anticipation of his arrival and heard two explosions but did not witness any of the carnage.

He said that he had phone conversations with his wife and that see COPS page 5

Bomb blasts rock finish line of Boston Marathon At least 3 dead, more than 130 injured

BOSTON (AP) — Two bombs exploded in the crowded streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 130 in a bloody scene of shattered glass and severed limbs that raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S. A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.

Democrats may not attract enough Senate Republicans to repeal scholarship law

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — This week the New Hampshire Senate will vote on whether to repeal the statute enacted last year that grants state tax credits to businesses in return for their contributions to scholarship funds that subsidize tuition for parents choosing to enroll their children in schools where tuition would be required.

The current law was sponsored by Senator Jim Forsythe, a Republican who represented Laconia and six towns in Belknap County before retiring after one term. It easily carried the House of Representatives, where the GOP held a commanding majority, and passed the Senate 17 to 7, with only two Republican senators — Senators Bob Odell of Lempster and Nancy Stiles of Hampton — voting with the five Democrats in opposition. Governor John Lynch vetoed the bill, but was overridden by

a margin of two-to-one in the House and a vote of 16 to 7 in the Senate, as the same two Republicans again dissented.

The new Democrat-controlled House has already voted to repeal the legislation.

The law provides for scholarship funds, formed as charitable organizations, which are exempt from federal taxation and registered with the New Hampshire Division of Charitable Trusts, to administer the program. Businesses donating to the funds are entitled to a credit against their liability for Business Profits Tax or Business Enterprise Tax equal to 85 percent of their contributions. In addition, firms can take their donations as deductions against their federal corporate tax liabilities.

The aggregate value of tax credits authorized by the Department of Revenue Administration is limited to $3.4 million in the first year and $5 million in the second year of the program. Beginning with

the second year, if donations exceed 80-percent of the limit, the aggregate amount would increase by 25-percent.

Scholarships may be awarded by the funds to students attending a public school, including charter schools, who wish to enroll in either a public school in another district or a private or parochial school as well as to students educated at home, whose scholarships are tied to the expenses of home schooling.

In each of the first two years of the program, at least 70 percent of all scholarships must be awarded to public school students enrolling in private or parochial schools. Beginning in the third year, the minimum percentage would fall by five-percent for the next 13 years until, in the 16th year and afterwards, there would be no required minimum percentage.

At least 40-percent of all scholarships must be awarded to students who qualified for free or reduced-price lunch during their last year in public school. The average value of scholarships awarded by an organization, excluding those to home-schooled students, cannot exceed $2,500, an amount indexed to inflation after the first year of the program.

Kate Baker is the executive director of The Network for Educational Opportunity” (NEO) in Concord, the first scholarship organization certified under the law. She said yesterday that she has received some 700 applications for scholarships, 60 percent of them from students eligible for free and reduced lunch, and anticipates collecting $500,000 in donations before the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Baker said that NEO does not intend to award scholarships to students for households with incomes above 300 percent of poverty, calling the standard “an internal policy.”

Critics of the program liken it to a voucher plan, claiming it is designed to undermine public schools to the benefit of private and parochial ones. Bill Duncan of Newcastle, president of Defending New Hampshire Public Education, charges that “the basic problem with the proposed voucher plan is that the students who leave with a voucher mostly don’t need them and those that stay behind are left with a shrinking and damaged school system. And property tax payers are left holding the bag, “ he continues, “with increased property taxes, as the state induces children to leave and then reduces state aid in response.”

Duncan, whose organization has challenged the program in court, also contends that by shunting foregone tax revenue, which he insists are public funds, to parochial schools, it erodes the constitutional separation of church and state.

Duncan also insists that the the program lacks oversight and accountability, pointing to NEO’s Board of Directors, which includes champions of private education and home schooling like Alan Schaeffer, who founded the “Alliance of the Separation of School & State,” and Cathy Duffy , author of “Government Nannies: The Cradle-to-Grave Agenda of Goals 2000 and Outcome-Based Education.”

Baker insists that NEO is simply administering a program introduced by legislation, not pursuing a political agenda aimed at undermining the public school system. Instead, she stressed that the scholarship program offers students and parents choices while introducing competition to “the education marketplace,” which she said will ultimately benefit all schools, public, private and parochial alike.

Last year when the law was enacted, Republicans held 19 of the 24 seats in the Senate. This year the Senate is more evenly divided with 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats. For House Bill 370 repealing the law to succeed, at least two Republicans must join the 11 Democrats.

Although Stiles, who chairs the Senate Health , Education and Human Services Committee, opposed the law last year, last week she voted with the majority when her committee recommended against the bill three-to-two and has indicated she is opposed to repeal. Odell, the other Republican to oppose the law, has indicated he will do so again, indicating that the Senate will likely deadlock and the effort at repeal will fail.

BOMBS from page 2 Authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the bombings, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility. The FBI took charge of the investigation.

Police said three people were killed. Hospitals reported at least 134 injured, at least 15 of them critically. The victims’ injuries included broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums.

At Massachusetts General Hospital, Alisdair Conn, chief of emergency services, said: “This is something I’ve never seen in my 25 years here ... this amount of carnage in the civilian population.

This is what we expect from war.”

Some 23,000 runners took part in the race, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious marathons.

One of Boston’s biggest annual events, the race winds up near Copley Square, not far from the landmark Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library. It is held on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775.

Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis asked people to stay indoors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as bomb squads methodically checked parcels and bags left along the race route. He said investigators didn’t know whether the bombs were hidden in mailboxes or trash cans.

He said authorities had received “no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen” at the race.

The Federal Aviation Administration barred lowflying aircraft within 3.5 miles of the site.

“We still don’t know who did this or why,” Obama said at the White House, adding, “Make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this.”

With scant official information to guide them, members of Congress said there was little or no doubt it was an act of terrorism.

“We just don’t know whether it’s foreign or domestic,” said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

A few miles away from the finish line and around the same time, a fire broke out at the John F. Kennedy Library. The police commissioner said that it may have been caused by an incendiary device and that it was not clear whether it was related to the bombings.

The first explosion occurred on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the finish line.

When the second bomb went off, the spectators’ cheers turned to screams. As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen who had been assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site.

The bombings occurred about four hours into the race and two hours after the men’s winner crossed COPS from page 2 she was in touch with the families of the other police officers and had been told that neither the officers nor their families were injured. ‘’It was a very scary thing. My family was pretty shook up about it and all of the runners were concerned for the safety of the people near the finish line.’’ said Dawson.

It was the first Boston Marathon for all three runners.

Dawson said that he was running in memory of his mother, who passed away last August 16. ‘’I guess she was looking out for me from on high,’’ said Dawson, who expressed sympathy for the families of those killed and injured in the explosions.

Also, the Supreme Court of New Hampshire was reporting that Justice James Barnett had finished the race earlier and was not hurt by the explosions.

An avid runner, Bassett lives in Canterbury. He was able to get to his phone and text the court’s offices that he was okay.

Meanwhile, Monday night, Belmont Selectboard Chairman Ron Cormier opened a board meeting by asking for a moment of silence for the victims of the Marathon explosions. Cormier said a family member was in Boston for the event. As he left the meeting about 7 p.m. Cormier said the family member had just arrived back in the Lakes Region. He declined to identify the person or give other details out of respect for the person’s privacy.

the line. By that point, more than 17,000 of the athletes had finished the race, but thousands more were still running.

The attack may have been timed for maximum carnage: The four-hour mark is typically a crowded time near the finish line because of the slow-butsteady recreational runners completing the race and because of all the friends and relatives clustered around to cheer them on.

Runners in the medical tent for treatment of dehydration or other race-related ills were pushed out to make room for victims of the bombing.

A woman who was a few feet from the second bomb, Brighid Wall, 35, of Duxbury, said that when it exploded, runners and spectators froze, unsure of what to do. Her husband threw their children to the ground, lay on top of them and another man lay on top of them and said, “Don’t get up, don’t get up.”

After a minute or so without another explosion, Wall said, she and her family headed to a Starbucks and out the back door through an alley. Around them, the windows of the bars and restaurants were blown out.

She said she saw six to eight people bleeding profusely, including one man who was kneeling, dazed, with blood trickling down his head. Another person was on the ground covered in blood and not moving.

“My ears are zinging. Their ears are zinging,” Wall said. “It was so forceful. It knocked us to the ground.”

Competitors and race volunteers were crying as they fled the chaos. Authorities went onto the course to carry away the injured, while race stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site.

Roupen Bastajian, a state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., had just finished the race when he heard the blasts.

“I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor,” he said. “We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated. ... At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing.”

The race honored the victims of the Newtown, Conn., shooting with a special mile marker in Monday’s race.

Freedom of religion?

Our nation’s founders were exceptional people . . . brilliant, courageous, and sensitive to the relationship between the people and government. They challenged and faced down the greatest power in the world at that time. They gave us gifts in the form of a Declaration of Independence and followed with a blueprint for managing our country in the form of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. What they provided was intended to put the power in the hands of the people the government was to serve.

We are in the process of abusing those gifts. We stand mute as people seek political office not to serve and return to their homes, but for political careers and the ensuing power it provides. The power of incumbency overwhelms those seeking to challenge the office holder.

Amendment 1 of the Constitution starts, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . . “ . In spite of that admonition, we have seen . . .

— The government put forth “regulations”, as part of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), requiring employers and religious institutions to either violate their religious beliefs or face absurdly excessive fines and incredible legal costs. The legality of this act was decided by one vote in the Supreme Court. In order to arrive at that decision, the Chief Justice found that the act, which imposed a requirement that each citizen purchase health insurance, was “legal” because it was the imposition of a tax.

(Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the right to lay and collect taxes.) Interestingly, the president had repeatedly denied that the act was imposing any taxes on the citizenry.

In this case, one person in the judiciary essentially “found” a way for the government to demand citizens buy a product, by calling it a tax, otherwise, it would not have been “legal”.

— In the Roe v. Wade decision, the government put itself in conflict with religious entities, and the people of faith who work in them.

Seven members of the Supreme Court found the “right of privacy” in the Fourteenth Amendment gave women the right to have an abortion. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who served as an attorney for the A.C.L.U. for eight years, said this issue should have been decided by the Legislative Branch, not the

courts. Our politicians abrogated their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution by legislating this difficult issue, preferring instead, to let the issue bubble up through the judicial branch for a decision.

— In 2012 the Federal government provided over $540 million dollars of funding to Planned Parenthood.

That organization provides about one third of all abortions in this country.

While we are told that funding is not used for abortions, money is fungible, so the taxpayers’ money essentially “frees up” other Planned Parenthood funds to be used for abortions.

Planned Parenthood also spends a considerable amount of money lobbying for more government funding, and spends additional large sums endorsing political candidates who are favorable to their activities. No matter how you look at it, they use taxpayer dollars to secure more taxpayer dollars.

These three issues are a direct affront to the First Amendment, particularly the free exercise of religion. And today, we see another assault on that clause in the issue of “Gay marriage”. Advocates for and against this issue rally outside the Supreme Court building holding up their signs and chanting slogans.

Inside, reporters hang on every word from the mouths of the justices. Most especially, every question or comment from Justice Kennedy, the expected “swing vote”. How it will be decided is yet unknown.

However, the basic issue is that the founders envisioned that the states, through their own legislative processes, would be the test beds for change. Other states could adopt or reject those changes based on the results each provided. Today, 38 states have signed into law, or have constitutional provisions, limiting marriage as between one man and one woman. Six of those states also have laws permitting “civil unions”.

Nine other states have enacted laws enabling marriage between people of the same gender. This issue has received a great deal of attention, and has been acted upon, throughout the country. Why then, does this become an issue to be brought before the courts for, essentially, one un-elected individual to decide?

In addition to abusing the First Amendment and religious freedoms, are we now shifting power from the people to the un-elected few, in the name of political correctness?

LETTERS Commissioners are accountable only to people who elected them To the editor, Once again, the County Commissioners are writing to provide corrected information to the taxpayers of Belknap County. This continues to be a difficult session for the county to operate with a legislative body who’s leadership doesn’t understand its job.

The commissioners have made wise spending choices and long range plans for infrastructure improvements as they were elected to do. The County Convention is not a “check or balance” to the commissioners. The commissioners are accountable to the people who elect them. The convention’s job is to secure funding so the commissioners can provide county services. The convention does this through raising and appropriating taxes, authorizing bond issues, and approving the purchase and sale of county property.

They are not elected to provide “oversight” to the commissioners, professional staff, or even the budget.

It is disappointing to hear one elected official be so disrespectful to others; it’s easy to criticize from the sidelines, without spending the time necessary to be informed. There are also respectful ways to communicate a different political viewpoint. In order to present alternate and correct information to the public, we offer the following in response to Representative Worsman’s accusations: The commissioners have made the County Jail a priority for the past three years. Extensive planning, research, and learning have been undertaken, by the commissioners, in a very public process. In fact, due to the neglect of county infrastructure in the past, a complete analysis was completed of all county buildings. A list of at least 45 significant projects was developed and prioritized. Many have been accomplished; some were for jail improvements that couldn’t be put off. Spending any more than minimal upkeep on the jail is difficult when we have had both structural and programmatic studies indicate that we need to demolish and rebuild the jail. The federal stimulus funding was put to its highest and best use by the commissioners. Spending nearly 3 million dollars on a building that is slated for demolition would have been

a complete waste. Instead significant repairs and improvements were made to county facilities which will last for many years.

There was a gym shown in one version of the long-range plan (20+ years) to replace the existing exercise room in the Sheriff’s Department. The future plan contemplated allowing all county employees to use the facility. There was never consideration of building a gym anytime within the next 20 years, and the delegation had nothing to do with the commissioners decision on that issue.

There are statutory requirements that the commissioners approve retaining legal counsel in advance if the taxpayers are going to have to pay the bill. It is the commissioners and not the delegation who authorize all county expenditures.

The legal fees incurred by the taxpayers to defend the push-down of state responsibilities were paid by several municipal organizations, not the Belknap County Commissioners alone.

All schools, towns, cities and counties attempted to save local taxpayers from this unfunded mandate. This is only one of the instances where the delegation votes, at the state level, to increase taxes at the municipal level.

The commissioners sought legal counsel in an effort to assist the budget process, which has been very disingenuous this year. The people have had little opportunity to participate in the process since the delegation got involved; in fact some of the delegation members have been excluded from much of the development of the budget. This is the first time a convention has chosen to interpret the statutes in a way that would give them authority to do the commissioners job. The delegation’s leadership has refused to communicate with the commissioners, refused to allow them to speak in meetings, refused to allow the staff to provide information that should have been used in developing the budget, and continues to operate in a very uncooperative manner. The commissioners cannot comply with the delegation’s abuse of power, and must defend the process.

The county statutes authorize the see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 16, 2013 — Page 7

LETTERS Hosmer seems like perfect person to understand this program To the editor, Former Senator Jim Forsythe of Stafford and I were the principal authors of the Education Scholarship Tax Credit Program last year. Unfortunately the current Democratic Legislature targeted the tax credit for repeal in HB-370 and the budget.

Their mistake will hurt the prospects of children from low- and middleincome children for their lifetime.

Over the past three years we have been truly amazed at the conspiracy theories, purposeful lies, and scare tactics put forward by the opponents of educational choice for lower-income parents and children. Amazed, but saddened as well because each blatantly dishonest attempt to distort the program’s goals affects only the desperate and dissatisfied families who have already applied for scholarships. They wish only for the same educational options that thousands of children from wealthy families currently enjoy: to attend a school that better meets their needs. For the sake of these families, it’s vital to cut through the scare tactics and focus on the realities of the tax credit program.

First, this program poses no threat to the traditional public school system’s finances. In N.H., public K-12 education is an almost $3 billion expenditure, which may fully explain the energy and effort behind the repeal. The tax credit program, if fully utilized, is capped at $4 million — less than a single percent of the total spent on education in N.H. And not all of that small amount will leave the public system: A large percentage of parents want to use the plan to send their children to a different public school!

Second, critics charge that this program could grow over the next 10 years but conveniently fail to mention that the only way the program could grow is if a great many parents voluntarily ask to leave the public schools. Of course, a sustained 25 percent growth rate for the next decade is incredibly unrealistic and they know it. The truth is the program will always be a drop in the ocean of total public school funding. However, the impact on those lower income families who use the program can be HUGE. Third, in all of the testimony against this program there was not a shred of evidence presented that the motivation for the tax credit was anything other than improved educa-

tional outcomes in increased opportunities for New Hampshire families. In fact, study after study has shown that these kinds of programs implemented in a dozen other states improve education performance, especially for poor and minority children, even within public schools.

But hardest to believe of all “repealers” claims is that the money used for the scholarships is public funds. This is simply not true, and those who continue to claim it are either willfully ignorant or liars. Businesses are free to donate to a charitable scholarship organization and receive a partial tax credit for those donations. The U.S. Supreme Court addressed this issue clearly in Arizona vs. Winn, which dealt with a similar education tax credit program. In that case, the justices responded to the allegation that the dollars used were public funds by saying that making that claim would mean “all income is government property, even if it has not come into the tax collector’s hands. That premise finds no basis in standing jurisprudence.” Opponents of our program know what the court said. So all they can do is claim either our program is different (and call it a voucher) or claim our state laws are different. In either case, they are wrong.

The fact remains that all the program does is use private money to give lower-income families options that the wealthy already have. Repealing this program only hurts these families.

Our state senator, Andrew Hosmer, seems to be the perfect person to understand what these parents want for their children. His children attend private schools.

Senator Hosmer understands that the right school for your child can make all the difference.

As a businessman, Senator Hosmer chooses where to donate his money.... it is HIS decision, not that of the government. It is HIS money, not that of the government.

We simply ask Senator Hosmer to recall one of the most moving pieces of testimony supporting this program. A Laconia mother spoke of the anguish of having a child failing in public school. This child later flourished in a private school in the very first year of switching. Without this program she said she could not continue to afford tuition, and she desperately needs to do what she knows is right for her child. This scholarship program matters to real people, Senator. Real

This authorization would not be possible to execute if Representative Worsman’s version of the law were correct. Unfortunately, her refusal to cooperate is likely to result in a bitter legal battle paid for by the county’s taxpayers.

In recent years, the commissioners have held the budget virtually level, worked to rebuild the undesignated fund balance, increased the county’s credit rating, improved the county’s infrastructure, improved employee relations, and encouraged any effort to assist the county

municipalities in providing more efficient services. All the while, they have reduced full time personnel by 47 positions, reorganized several operations, and expanded the commitment to work in partnership with the business and non-profit communities.

The County Commissioners meet every other Wednesday morning at the county complex. We encourage public participation at all meetings and welcome your comments, questions, and feedback via email, website, or at our administrative office.

people who arranged a day off from work to come and testify because it mattered to her child.

Senator Hosmer, would you be able to look this constituent in the eye and

tell her, “Tough luck. I’m sorry you aren’t wealthy enough to send your kids to the school that fits them best”?

In Convention v. Commissioners, an AG’s opinion is in order To the editor, Overlook the unorganized status of the Belknap County Convention or its Executive Committee, the elected representative voted, per N.H. statute, to require the commissioners receive prior written permission from the Executive Committee to transfer funds within a department or between departments.

The N.H. Supreme Court in Linehan v. Rockingham County Commission 151 N.H. 260 makes a clear distinction between a county’s legislative and administrative powers. The county convention is comprised of the state representatives for the districts of each county, RSA 24:1, and has “the power to raise county taxes, make appropriations, and authorize the purchase or sale of county real estate,” Burling v.

Speaker of the House, 148 N.H. 143, 152 (2002) The county commissioners are elected by the voters in each county commissioner district in the county, RSA 653:1 (Supp. 2003), and “have the general management and control of the financial affairs of the county and the management and control of its property except as limited by the powers conferred on the convention,” O’Brien v County, 80 N.H. 522,524 (1923) The opinion goes on to state that “the commissioners have responsibility for overall day-to-day county financial management and control of county assets and liabilities, except as may be limited by the powers granted to the County Convention.”

The “Powers granted to the Convention” are cited in RSA 24:14,I The county convention may require that the county commissioners obtain written authority from the executive committee before transferring any appropriation or part thereof under RSA 24:15. The

county convention may adopt a policy regarding the acceptance of grants.”

“I-a. In this chapter, an appropriation means an amount of money authorized for a specified purpose by the legislative body”, i.e., a line item budget, not a bottom line budget.

The best part of having power is not having to exercise that power. However, the current gridlock within the 2013 budget is that the administrative and appropriative bodies are unyielding.

A motion to authorize the convention chair, to seek a legal opinion from the Attorney General regarding the contentious positions as to the power of the commission to transfer encumbered or unencumbered money appropriated by the convention for a specified purpose from one individual line item within a department or from department to department, is in order: “Let it be resolved that the undersigned, as duly elected members of the NH State Legislature comprising the Belknap County Convention; hereby request the honorable Attorney General render an opinion regarding the separation of powers pertaining to the authority of the commission to make line-item transfers within a department or between departments without written permission of the Executive Committee. Please find attached minutes in which the vote of the convention mandated that the county convention requires that the county commissioners obtain written authority from the executive committee before transferring any appropriations or part thereof under RSA 24:14, I. Also attached are minutes in which the Commissioners voted to adopt ‘Plan C’ a transfer request of $52,000.”

LETTERS Is Senator Hosmer also opposed to Pell Grants for private colleges?

To the editor, Senator Andrew Hosmer supports HB-370, the bill to repeal Education Tax Credit Scholarships, because he opposes using “taxpayer money to finance religious education.” Does he also oppose Pell Grants and American Opportunity Tax Credits then? The former has been a mainstay of college financial aid packages since the Higher Education Act of 1965 became law while the latter was part of the Obama administration’s stimulus package to help lower-income families afford higher education. Both of these sources of government tuition assistance can be used at religious institutions, so Senator Hosmer should have a problem with that, shouldn’t he? Going further back in time, would Senator Hosmer have opposed the G.I. Bill since many returning soldiers enrolled at sectarian colleges.

One obvious difference between New Hampshire’s Education Tax Credit Scholarships and the the financial aid mentioned above is that the

federal programs finance college education while the state scholarships support K-12 students. K-12 teachers happen to be represented by the most vocal critics of Education Tax Credit Scholarships — the NEA and other teachers’ unions. Such vociferous labor unions, unlike those that represent college faculty, oppose school choice because it threatens their dues-paying members’ jobs. The other major difference between New Hampshire’s scholarships and the federal sources of aid is that the state funds are donated by private businesses as pre-tax dollars, the same as other donations to charities, so this whole argument is actually irrelevant.

If Senator Hosmer’s major reason for opposing Education Tax Credit Scholarships is that public funds are financing religious schools, he seriously consider the points above and vote “no” on HB-370.

Gun industry likes fear & crime because they increases bottom line To the editor, Recently Don Ewing made a claim that up to 2.5 million crimes were averted by gun toters. First, he says they are Clinton Justice Department statistics. They are not; they are from Gary Kleck’s 1995 study. That study was debunked in 1997 by Harvard Injury Control Research Center director David Hemenway. And don’t forget that murder rates dropped 42 percent from 1993 to 2000. (http://www.fbi.gov/ about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/ crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/tables/10tbl01. xls) That must have made the gun industry breakdown in tears.

Like all statistics touted by the NRA and FOX, they don’t tell the truth.

They deliberately distort. And where do criminals get their weapons? Some use loopholes because its easy and legal. Others traffic guns from states with loose gun laws. So just where does the right wing logic come from that opposes universal background checks? We need to drain the swamp and the only way to start that is with

such checks.

Don claims background checks interfere with the ability of law abiding citizens to defend themselves”.

Huh? How is that? Just what asteroid is Don on? If you are not a felon or adjudicated dangerously mental ill or under a restraining order, what are you afraid of? Only the conspiracy crackpots and the right-wing paranoiacs buy into the NRA’s opposition of complete checks.

And let’s face it, the gun industry appreciates fear and crime because it increases the bottom line. Just like the lying cigarette executives, they could care less about people. (http://www. cnn.com/2013/04/10/opinion/donohuebackground-checks/?hpt=us_c2) “We think it’s reasonable to provide mandatory instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show. No loopholes anywhere for anyone.” — NRA’s Wayne Lapierre, 1999.

Shiites & Sunnis have hated each other for at least 1,600 years To the editor, Henry, it seems you failed to do good research, else you would not bury yourself in lies, distortions, or ignorance far worse than you accuse others of.

First you MUST recall, or learn, that the Iraq War was just a slight correction for the 1,632-year-long, or more, war between the Shiites and Sunnis, both totally WRONG pseudo Muslims, violating what Mohamed wrote in his Koran: “Nothing can be added to or subtracted from this final prophesy”.

Immediately his cousins, Shiites and Sunnis started a war between them, each claimed to “own” the prophesy, and preached the HATE and destruction we still see as the symbol of Muslim hatred of the world. Iraq and Iran was still at war with each other,

and Iraq bragged about having super weapons of MASS destruction, even threatening the USA! Worse, for them, they blocked all efforts to inspect for such weapons, convincing most that they had them, and were about to use them against U.S. and most others.

Henry, you absolutely LIE about that, and leave yourself as a major fool or whatever you wish to describe your intentional dishonesty just to discredit honest writers! The answer to your nutty last paragraph is simply, take your own advice!

In hindsight we should have left Iraq to destroy Iran, which we now face as a dangerous enemy. But the REAL lesson, is don’t let pseudo Muslims control anything.

Young couple charged with no-pay shopping spree at Kohl’s in Tilton TILTON — A pair of suspected shoplifters, who allegedly threatened to run over employees of the last store they pilfered while making their getaway, were captured shortly afterward in Franklin on Saturday night.

Tucker Bean, 20, of 290 Main Street, Franklin was charged with robbery as well as felony reckless conduct and possession of narcotics while his accomplice, Catherine Plaia, 18, of the same address, was charged criminal liability for the conduct of another, receiving stolen property and possession of narcotics.

Tilton Police Chief Bob Cormier said that although no one was injured, Bean was charged with robbery, a felony, for using or threatening the use of deadly force to further the commission of theft.

After receiving several reports of

shoplifting Tilton police responded to Kohl’s department store at approximately 7.55 p.m. They learned that when the two refused to pay for merchandise employees tried to stop them from leaving the parking lot by standing behind their silver Volkswagen GTI, but stepped aside as the driver reversed toward them. The description of the vehicle was radioed to local law enforcement agencies and within minutes was stopped in Franklin.

The suspects matched the description provided by the employees and stolen merchandise was found in the vehicle.

Bean and Plaia were arrested and booked by Tilton police then released on cash bail penning their arraignment in Franklin District Court on May 20. The vehicle and merchandise were seized as evidence.

Half of Tilton-Northfield Fire’s 294 winter medical calls required advanced life support TILTON-NORTHFIELD — Chief Brad Ober of Tilton-Northfield Fire & EMS reported that call volume declined slightly this winter, between December 1 and March 31, from 482 emergency calls in 2012 to 467, with 48 simultaneous calls representing ten-percent of the total.

Ober said that medical emergencies accounted for 63 percent and fire emergencies for 37 percent of all calls. The department responded to 14 building and nine chimney fires, which together represented estimated losses of $400,420.

Of all emergencies, 261 originated in Tilton and 162 in Northfield while the department also responded to 44 calls for Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid.

Half of the 284 patients treated received advanced life support and a fifth basic life support. Ober said that the intervention of bystanders and EMTS, who employed newly purchased cardiac monitors and mechanical CPR devices, spontaneously restored circulation to a patient in cardiac arrest who was subsequently treated at Concord Hospital and now enjoys a normal lifestyle.

Firefighters reached the scene of 57 percent of all emergencies in six minutes or less with an average response time of six minutes, thirty-seven seconds. Slightly more than a fifth of all emergencies occurred between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.

BELMONT from page one tenance person stay later in order to activate the Middle School security alarms. Dreyer also indicated that letting the summer program conclude later in the summer would interfere with teachers who return in August to set up their classrooms.

Dreyer’s explanation prompted sharp responses from board Chairman Ron Cormier and Selectman Jon Pike.

Pike said the school system was showing a complete lack of cooperation.

“I’m looking for a little give and take and I’m not seeing it,” he said.

Cormier echoed the sentiment, saying: “It’s like a broken record.

Every time we ask, (the answer) is always no. This board is tired of no.”

Pike said part of the problem is that school recreation facilities are often booked for extended periods of time for groups who oftentimes use the facility for just a fraction of the time they reserved. The result, said Pike, is that other groups or organizations that want to use the facilities cannot do so. He blamed much of the lack of cooperation on School District Buildings and Grounds Director Doug Ellis and Athletic Director Rick Acquilano.

Breton told the selectmen she

believed the school systems needed a better policy on which non-school groups or organizations get preference when it comes to using school facilities.

Dreyer said she would consult with the Shaker School Board on the issue and that she was willing to have further talks with town officials on the matter, but noted that she was also concerned that Recreation Department might be duplicating what the schools were already doing through their athletic programs.

In other business, the selectmen met with members of the town’s Heritage Commission regarding the need to move the town’s historic bandstand as part of the $2 million village revitalization project which is now under way. Commission Chairman Linda Frawley said the commissioners hoped the bandstand, built in 1908 could be moved to a location closer to the former Northway Bank building the town now owns. She hoped commission members could meet sometime this week with the engineer and the contractor for the revitalization project to stake out a precise location.

School Board member Donna Cilley told the board that selectmen would be getting a petition in about two weeks see next page

Corrections Creations Rich Dow of Sanbornton and Mike Dow of Akron, Ohio, were celebrity bartenders at the Crazy Gringo on Weirs Beach Saturday afternoon as they raised funds for the Pan-Mass Challenge which benefits the Jimmy Fund. (Roger Amsden photo for the Laconia Daily Sun)

‘Celebrity’ bartenders at Crazy Gringo raise money for Pan-Mass. Challenge LACONIA — The second annual Celebrity Bartender event at The Crazy Gringo Saturday afternoon saw Pan-Massachusetts Challenge bike-a-thon competitors Rich Dow of Sanbornton and his brother, Mike, of Akron, Ohio, serving up drinks for three hours.

All of the tips, which largely came from the Lick Cancer Team from Watertown, Mass., whose members crowded into the popular Weirs Beach restaurant and watering hole, go towards the donations the brothers are raising for the Jimmy Fund, which has set a goal of raising $38 million this year.

The challenge features a two-day,

192 mile bike ride from Sturbridge, Mass., to Provincetown with hundreds of cyclists raising money in a variety of ways to support cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

It will be Rich’s first Pan-Mass Challenge. His brother, Mike, took part in last year’s event.

Team Lick Cancer, which started with three riders in 2005, now has 40 riders and a large support van with the Lick Cancer logo.

Additional funds were raised by nine-year-old Ellie Monahan of Watertown, Mass., who had her hair cut for Locks of Love, which also raises funds to fight cancer.

Research center planned at Dartmouth-Hitchcock LEBANON (AP) — The DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center is planning to construct a $116.5 million medical research center.

The idea is to bring research from Dartmouth’s medical school closer to the doctors who can use it to treat patients.

The Valley News reports officials expect to break ground by June on the Williamson Translational Research Building.

Duane Compton, senior associate dean for research at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, says the goal is to use the building for translating discoveries made in research laboratories into things that go to better and safer care

for patients. Lessons learned in the hospital can be fed back to the laboratories.

“It’s actually been demonstrated that physical proximity has a lot to do with what sort of discoveries get made and how they get made,” Compton said. “If you’re physically separating your basic scientists from your clinical activity, you’re creating a boundary. We’re trying to overcome that boundary by putting a building out there that’s going to have direct access to the clinicians, to the basic science that’s going on, to create that sort of proximity effect, to generate those new discoveries.”

MEREDITH from page one tennial last year, convened a planning committee of seven two years before the celebration and financed the event with the proceeds from sales of T-shirts and private donations without resort to town funds.

Jim Hughes told the board that three years were spent planning the Meredith bicentennial celebrations in 1968. He said that care must be taken planning parade routes in order not to interfere with with the flow of traffic on Route 3 and suggested that events be planned for each of the four seasons. In particular, Hughes stressed that the Historical Society should be represented on any committee.

Chris Kelly, president of the Greater Meredith Program, said that the organization would fully participate in the planning process. He also suggested that the celebration should run throughout the year with a major event each quarter. Others proposed a winter carnival and boat parade as well as theatrical and musical offerings.

Bryan Halperin of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse said that the resources and campus of the theater company would be available. Jeanie Forrester even proposed scheduling 250 events and activities to mark the anniversary.

Selectman Herb Vadney noted that the tab for the bicentennial celebration was $30,000, which today amounts to some $250,000. His colleague Lou Kahn said that the taxpayers should contribute as small a share of the funding as possible. Both selectmen agree that the board should oversee and, if necessary facilitate, the planning process, but otherwise keep its distance.

The board considered a committee of seven too small and of 15 to 20 too large, but deferred a decision on the precise number of members. Instead, the selectmen agreed to solicit applications from those wishing to volunteer, setting a deadline for applications of May 15. At its workshop on May 20 the board will review the applicants prior to appointing the committee at its meeting on June 3.

PADDLE from page one and 15. Crowther told the commission that competitors could race as far as Meredith as well as to several islands.

Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, said that because the event will include fundraising along with vendors, it will require approvals from the City Council and Licensing Board. He said that Crowther will return to the commission in June with a comprehensive plan for the event.

NOTE: The Parks and Recreation Commission approved a proposal from Director of Parks and Recreation Kevin Dunleavy to permit the launching of kayaks and canoes from the beach at Opechee Cove. He assured the commissioners that the launch-

ing area would be appropriately separated from the swimming area. . . . . . Dunleavy told the commission that he will ask the City Council for funding to replace the roofs on the park houses at Leavitt Park and Tardif Park, along with the roof at City Hall.

In addition, the Leavitt Park house requires a fresh coat of paint as well as the removal of existing lead paint.

Dunleavy estimated that the projects, including the painting, could be completed for $98,000 with metal roofs and $68,000 with asphalt roofs. He said that a reserve fund for repairs and maintenance of municipal buildings has a current balance of approximately $200,000.

1,500 runners raise $31k for 26.4.26 Foundation

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The runners came from all corners of New Hampshire.

Some came from places as far away as Tennessee and Ohio.

Others came from nearer places New London and Sutton, which had 31 staff members from the Kearsarge Regional School District taking part, and Amherst, which sent 21 runners from Souhegan High School. There were 16 runners from Winnacunett High School in Hampton, three teams of runners from the Deerfield Elementary School and dozens of runner from Lisbon. In all some 78 school districts from across New England sent runners.

In all, more than 1,500 runners participated in Sunday’s 26.4.26 Foundation relay Marathon between Gilford Elementary School and the three elementary schools in Laconia.

Organized locally by GES Principal Danielle Bolduc and school Resource Officer Holly Harris, the event was dedicated to the memory of the 26 people — 20 children and six adults — who lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14, 2012.

And participants were in Gilford Sunday for a number of reasons, from showing support for the surving Newtown families to speaking out against violence and gun deaths across the country.

Sam Brown of Easton, a small town just west of Franconia, was there along with his wife, Jenny Johnson, because they know Amy Lawton, an English teacher at Lisbon High School whose stepmother Dawn Hochspung, Sandy Hook Elementary School principal, was among those shot to death. ‘’She’s a good friend,’’ said Johnson, who said that she and Sam were both running in the relay and taking different laps so that one of them could be with their 18-month-old son, Thatcher, while the other was running.

Lawton, who lives in Bethlehem, told the hundreds who gathered at the Gilford Village bandstand before the start of the event that she misses Hochsprung’s wide smile and cheering morning text messages and that she was overwhelmed with her initial response to the December 14 tragedy which claimed the lives of 20 first graders and six school teachers and see next page

IONIA, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan judge whose smartphone disrupted a hearing in his own courtroom has held himself in contempt and paid $25 for the infraction.

Judge Raymond Voet has a posted policy at Ionia County 64A District Court stating that electronic devices causing a disturbance during court sessions will result in the owner being cited with contempt, the Sentinel-Standard of Ionia and MLive.com reported.

On Friday afternoon, during a prosecutor’s closing argument as part of a jury trial, Voet’s new smartphone began to emit sounds requesting phone voice commands. Voet said he thinks he bumped the phone, and the embarrassment likely left his face red.

“I’m guessing I bumped it. It started talk-

ing really loud, saying ‘I can’t understand you. Say something like Mom,’” he said.

Voet has used a Blackberry mobile phone for years, and said he wasn’t as familiar with the operation of the new touchscreen, Windows-based phone.

“That’s an excuse, but I don’t take those excuses from anyone else. I set the bar high, because cellphones are a distraction and there is very serious business going on,” he said. “The courtroom is a special place in the community, and it needs more respect than that.”

Over the years, the judge whose court is about 110 miles northwest of Detroit has taken phones away from police officers, attorneys, witnesses, spectators and friends. During a break in the trial, Voet held himself in contempt, fined himself and paid the fine.

from preceding page administrators. ‘’The first thing I pictured in my mind was what would have happened if that had been my son’s kindergarten class,’’ noting that Sunday marked the sixth birthday of her son, Wyatt.

She said that image still stuck in her mind and brought tears to her eyes in January when the Lisbon school held an intruder drill in which classroom teachers had to react along with their students to an imminent threat of violence within the school.

Lawton said facing tragedy like that which took place at Newtown is the only way to deal with it. ‘’Facing tragedy and not looking away, not running away from pain, is important. We’re hard-wired for empathy, compassion and connections. Something like this should make us more kind and more considerate,’’ said Lawton.

Also speaking at the ceremony was 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.

He said that although there are many evil people in the world capable of creating tragedies such as school massacres ‘’the more we do that shows there are good people in the world, the more the world will change, for the better. We must protect what is beautiful and what is happening here today shows all that it takes is a spark to get something good going.’’

The 26.4.26 Facebook page on Monday reported that $31,000 was raised in Sunday’s event.

Principal Bolduc said ‘’we proved today that the world is going to get better’’ and thanked all of those who had worked with her to make Sunday’s relay race a success.

She said hundreds of volunteers helped out Sunday and that she had been inspired by the example of Bruce in organizing the Nashville event.

All of the school districts which took part were presented with a Blue Spruce seedling, courtesy of Belknap Landscaping, which they will plant at their schools in memory of those who lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

55 students sign up for LHS baseball jumps out to 3-0 start of season Inter-Lakes track team Meanwhile, school has too few baseball players for a JV squad

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — While students are enjoying a wider range of options for their athletic pursuits – lacrosse is proliferating through New Hampshire high schools and club teams allow athletes to play soccer and basketball out of season – traditional high school teams sometimes have difficulty filling their rosters. At Inter-Lakes, though, one team is running contrary to that trend. More and more students are signing up for the track and field team.

So many Inter-Lakes students have joined the track and field team that the school board recently approved a request to hire a pair of additional coaches. The district had planned to use those funds to pay a junior varsity baseball coach, however, with 15 total baseball players this year, there’s enough to fill only a varsity squad.

George Frost has been involved with the InterLakes track and field for a dozen years, starting as a volunteer assistant coach. For the past four years, he and his wife Sandy have been the head coaches for the girls and boys track and field teams. In the first year that they assumed the head coaching roles, they had a team that numbered in the low 20s. The following year, it grew to 25 players, then shot up to 48 in their third year.

“It really jumped last year,” said Frost. The growth continued, with 55 students joining the team this year. Last week, Inter-Lakes hosted its first home meet of the season, welcoming competitors from Moultonborough, Raymond, Campell, Winnisquam and Mount Royal Academy. The home team did well, with the boys taking first place and the girls earning second.

Frost said many factors have helped attract players to his team. For example, he praised the work of his corps of assistants, who help run a well-organized meet and in doing so build pride in the team.

He and his coaches have also nurtured a close relationship between the high school team and their see INTER-LAKES next page

Gilford girls’ tennis climbs to 3-0 The Gilford High School girls’ tennis team improved to three wins, no losses after defeating Prospect Mountain on April 9 by the score of 8-1.

Gilford’s top singles player, Cheralynn Corsack, won her singles match. Also winning for Gilford were Charleyne Panner, Lindsey Corsack, Abby Lines and Emily Hanf. Prospect Mountain’s lone win came in the sixth singles match, with Gilford’s Kayla Vieten losing a 9-7 match to Isabella Klotz.

In doubles play, Gilford’s teams of Cheralynn Corsack/Panner, Lindsey Corsack/Hanf and Vieten/ Lines were all victorious.

GHS boys’ tennis picks up win #5 The Gilford High School boys’ tennis team has racked up five wins, thanks to a pair of strong victories against Profile and Laconia last week.

their visitors poorly, winning the match 9-0. Andrew Caulfield played in the first singles match for Gilford, followed by Matt Saulnier, Alex Simoneau, Keaton Quigley, Erich Berghahn and Nolan Dwyer.

Gilford’s doubles teams were lead by Caulfied/Saulnier, Brad Bergman/Marek Blais and Nick Gilbert/ Christian Ayer.

The Eagles were just as dominant when they faced Laconia on Thursday, earning another 9-0 win. Gilford was scheduled to travel to Berlin yesterday, the first of three away matches scheduled for this week.

GHS softball earns first win After losing its first match against Franklin, the Gilford High School softball team evened its record last week after beating Winnisquam 4-3. Winnisquam jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning with a pair of doubles. The lead was short-lived as Gilford tied the game 1-1 in the top see SOFTBALL next page

Laconia girl helps her gymnastics team win state championship PORTSMOUTH — Level 7 gymnasts from Atlantic Gymnastics Training Center of Portsmouth competed at the 2013 New Hampshire Gymnastics State Championship at Pinkerton Academy in Derry on April 7. The gymnasts competed against 11 gymnastics teams from New Hampshire and against 71 gymnasts and took first place in this competition.

Gabie Pitt of Laconia helped her team win the competition by earning a score of 9.4 on the beam, good enough for third place in the junior age group and ninth overall.

The Level 7 team is coached by Cori Cunningham, Allison Brisson and Matthew Yellis.

At right: Back row: Malia Cryan, Gabie Pitt, Stephanie Rheaume and Emma Carman; Middle Row: Nicole Robertson, Alicia Burchuk, Anya Cunningham, Camille Sweet, Julianna Caldicott and Kyla Lepine; Front Row: Sophia Salter, Kathleen Barnes and Sydney Caro. (Courtesy photo)

SOFTBALL from preceding page of the second inning when lead off batter Paige Laliberte drew a walk and scored on a fielder’s choice.

Gilford scored one more in the sixth when Mikaela Mattice lead off with a walk and scored on an error.

Gilford took a 4 –1 lead in the top of the fifth when Kelsey Buckley lead off with a single and scored on an RBI double by freshman Sarah LaChapelle in her first varsity hit. LaChapelle scored on a Hannah Chase single for the winning run. Winnisquam answered back with two runs in the bottom of the sixth on an infield error to make the score 4-3

Gilford. Pitcher Sydney Strout was in command of the game striking out 12 batters with five of those strikeouts in the last two innings. Strout gave up five hits and one earned run. Gilford defense committed only two errors and turned a double play.

Centerfielder Hannah Chase had a spectacular catch in the third inning to stop a Winnisquam scoring opportunity. The Gilford offense had six hits by six different players. Sydney Strout, Lisa Osborne and Sarah LaChapelle had doubles and Kelsey Buckley, Mollie Dignan, and Hannah Chase each hit singles for Gilford.

INTER-LAKES from preceding page younger counterparts in the middle tier. Above all, though, Frost said he has sought to provide a positive athletic experience for his team members.

“We make it a blend of fun and challenge for the kids,” said Frost. “This is Division III track, it’s not Division I, it’s not college level. We find a healthy balance of of challenging the kids but also having fun along the way.”

With 17 different events at each meet, track and field has the advantage of offering many opportunities for athletes to compete for their school. “It’s not just running. You can throw things, you can do different jumping events.” Frost said he makes it a point to find at least one event, often more, for all 55 team members. “Everybody plays at every meet,” he said.

After the meets, Frost and his coaches recognize improvement among their athletes, whether the runner came in first or last. He said there’s a “big focus on personal bests,” and if a player has set a new personal record, he or she is celebrated in front of the team. “We make a big deal on our team and everybody cheers.”

With the rate of growth that he has seen, Frost isn’t sure if participation will fall back to where it was in 2009, continue to rise, or if they’ve found a

sustainable level of participation. “Maybe we were undersized before,” he said.

Meanwhile, Inter-Lakes baseball coach Vint Choiniere said he’s optimistic about the future of his program despite a dip in participation this year. “I see baseball across the country as a sport that has been struggling to maintain their numbers.” With more choices available, he said some potential baseball players might choose a different activity. “Baseball is a very slow-paced, cerebral sport. The average kid likes running around on the field, the more active sports.”

Choiniere said his team this year isn’t dramatically smaller than in the recent past. Even when the high school has had a junior varsity team, he said the coach has often had to call up a few eighth graders to field every position. Even this year, Choiniere said he is working with the school’s athletic director to schedule at least some junior varsity games.

“We’re going to do everything we can to get some games for the JV level kids.”

The coach that would have overseen the junior varsity team has remained on the staff as a volunteer assistant coach, said Choiniere, and he hopes to have a junior varsity team next year.

Red Sox score in 9th to complete sweep of Rays, 3-2 BOSTON (AP) — The Rays finally came up with key hit. Then, a few minutes later, the Red Sox got one, too, and finished off a lost weekend in Fenway Park for Tampa Bay. Mike Napoli drove in the winning run with a double in the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox completed a three-game sweep over light-hitting Tampa Bay with a 3-2 win on Monday.

The Rays had two hits before finally showing some offensive punch in the ninth when Desmond Jennings led off with a single, stole second and scored the tying run on a single by Ben Zobrist off Andrew Bailey (1-0). Zobrist had advanced to second on the play when left fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. threw home.

But he was stranded there when Evan Longoria and Matt Joyce struck out before Ryan Roberts popped to second.

Joel Peralta (0-1) retired Boston’s first batter in the bottom of the ninth before walking Dustin Pedroia. Napoli then hit a liner off the left-field wall and Pedroia easily beat the throw home when the carom bounced high, left fielder Joyce grabbed it and double-clutched before overthrowing the cutoff.

The Rays went 1-for-20 with runners in scoring position in the three-game series.

The Red Sox had lost all three of their previous traditional morning games against Tampa Bay on Patriots’ Day, a Massachusetts state holiday.

It was also Jackie Robinson Day around the majors.

All uniformed team personnel wore the number 42 on their uniforms in recognition of Robinson, marking the 66th anniversary of his breaking the Major League Baseball color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

The Red Sox had taken a 1-0 lead in the first on a leadoff triple by Jacoby Ellsbury and an RBIgroundout by Shane Victorino. Longoria tied it in the fourth with his first homer of the season before Jarrod Saltalamacchia led off the fifth with his second.

Both starters were outstanding. Boston’s Ryan Dempster struck out 10 and allowed two hits and two walks in seven innings. Tampa Bay’s Jeremy Hellickson also worked seven innings, giving up two runs, three hits and one walk while striking out nine.

NEW YORK (AP) — Worries about an economic slowdown in China fueled a steep drop in commodity prices Monday, spooking investors and giving the stock market its worst day of the year.

The trigger for the sell-off came from China, where the world’s second-largest economy expanded 7.7 percent in the first three months of the year, well below forecasts of 8 percent or better. That news pummeled copper, oil and other commodities. Shares of oil and mining companies fared the worst because China is a huge importer of their products.

The decline came after a pile of negative economic reports. In addition to the concerns about China, a separate report showed weak manufacturing in the Northeast, and a home builders’ survey indicated housing activity isn’t going to be strong, either, said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist for Mizuho Securities.

“People are realizing that the global economy isn’t as strong as they expected it to be,” he said.

The pullback disrupted, at least for the moment, the phenomenal rally that has sent the Dow Jones industrial average up 13 percent and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index up 11 percent in 2013. Both indexes marked record highs only last Wednesday. But the market’s exceptional performance has fueled widespread speculation about an inevitable retreat.

Concerns that Cyprus and other troubled European countries may sell gold to raise cash have also weighed on prices for precious metals, said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the brokerage BTIG. The Dow tumbled 265.86 points to close at 14,599.20, a decline of 1.8 percent. Caterpillar, a

maker of heavy equipment used by miners, led the index lower, falling 3 percent to $82.27. The S&P 500 index slumped 36.48 points to 1,552.37, a loss of 2.3 percent.

The S&P was led by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, which fell 8 percent to $29.27. Analysts at Citigroup placed a “sell” rating on the mining giant on the expectation that copper prices will continue sliding.

The Nasdaq composite fell 78.46 points, or 2.4 percent, to 3,216.49.

It was the biggest drop for the stock market since Nov. 7 — Election Day — last year.

Of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500, materials and energy stocks fared the worst, losing 4 percent. Indexes of small companies and transportation stocks, which are more vulnerable to swings in the economy, also fell 4 percent.

To Book Your Special Event

The Importance of an Oral Examination A healthy mouth does not hurt or interfere with comfort during chewing, and a really healthy mouth enables you to look great when you smile. Your dentist is trained to examine and diagnose problems ranging from subtle things that you don’t even know about, to major problems that you wish you didn’t know about.

Oral conditions can also have an impact on systemic (general medical) conditions. The human body is complex and it’s all connected.

Regular check-ups are important for detecting dental problems at an early stage, and this can help to keep dental costs to a minimum. During the exam, your dentist looks for cavities, gum disease, bite problems, and esthetic problems.

He also performs screening for oral cancer which is more successfully treated with early detection. Another condition that benefits from early detection is gum disease, which you may not even know you have since it is painless in the early to middle stages. Your dentist will evaluate the gums and recommend proper treatment. Treating mild gum disease (gingivitis) is less time consuming and less expensive than treating severe gum disease (periodontitis). Did you know that a person with diabetes or heart disease is at greater risk of complications if they also suffer from gum disease? Remember: the absence of pain does not mean you have a healthy mouth. Have you had a dental examination this year?

Prescription Take Back event at Taylor Community LACONIA — The Laconia Police Department will hold a community-wide Prescription Take Back Program Saturday, April 20 from noon to 3 p.m. at Taylor Community’s Woodside Building, 435 Union Ave., Laconia.

The program allows everyone to be anonymous – there are no questions asked. This program is also helpful for those who have loved ones who have passed away who aren’t sure what to do with a cabinet full of medications.

Master Patrol Officer Ben Black explained letting the police department properly dispose of prescription and over-the-counter medications helps keep prescribed drugs from getting into the wrong hands. It’s dangerous and illegal for someone to take medication prescribed for another individual. Additionally, putting these types of items in the trash or flushing them down the toilet is bad for the environment.

For more information about the program, call 5245252.

‘South Pacific’ opens on LHS stage Thursday LACONIA — Laconia High School Theatre Arts is proud to present Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” Thursday, April 18 and Friday, April 19 at 7 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, April 20. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.

Adapted from James Michner’s novel “Tales of the South Pacific”, the story weaves together several intersecting plotlines to tell a tale of love and war, set during the Second World War. Navy nurse Nellie Forbush struggles with her preconceived notions and her love for debonair expatriate Frenchman Emile deBecque, while Lieutenant Joseph Cable has his own qualms about his love for the beautiful Polynesian girl, Liat. Meanwhile, the wily Luther Billis tries to make the war into his own personal souvenir hunt, only to find the crafty Bloody Mary, (and his superior officers!) standing in his way. With unforgettable songs like, Some Enchanted Evening, Theirs is Nothing Like a Dame, I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair, and the haunting, Bali Ha’i, it is an evening not to be missed.

The show features a mix of veteran and rookie performers, with senior Gwen Huot as Nellie, and sophomore and drama club newcomer Michael O’Brien as Emile. Sophomore (and veteran of last years performance of “Once Upon A Mattress”) Mitchell Bailey plays the handsome Lt. Cable. Sophomore Emily Paronto takes on the role of the comedic swindler Bloody Mary, and sophomore Reese

Miles plays her counterpart, Luther Billis.

“It’s been a wild ride,” said director Bernie Campbell. “But I’m pleased with how far we’ve come.”

Weather and illness, as well as scheduling around spring sports practices have made rehearsal a challenge, Campbell pointed out, but added. “The students always pull through with that extra effort. “ Tickets are available at the door, and Campbell encourages patrons to arrive early. “I’m hoping that there’ll be a few extra parking spaces soon, with the completion of the new Huot Center, but better plan ahead just in case.”

The music of “South Pacific” was written by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The book was composed by Oscar Hammerstein and Joshua Logan. The Broadway version of the show with Ezio Pinza and Mary Martin is considered a classic,and the film version with Mitzi Gaynor is as well. The touring production with followed it’s Broadway debut in April 1949 was banned from several cities in the south for it’s (for the time) radical views on racial equality and implicit criticism of the Jim Crow era. These themes help keep the show relevant, even as America’s World War Two experience fades from collective memory.

“South Pacific” is presented by a special arrangement with R&H Theatricals.

Dynamic trio Vishten at Franklin Opera House ‘Big Reveal’ part of

FRANKLIN — Vishten, the internationally known trio from Prince Edward Island and Magdalen Islands, will make the first stop on their 2013 tour of the United States at the Franklin Opera House on Friday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m.

Twin sisters Pastelle and Emanuelle LeBlanc have teamed up with Pascal Miousse to perform exceptional traditional and contemporary music that reflects the heritage of French Canadians everywhere.

Vishten blends their vocal skills with an amazing and versatile instrumental repertoire, from guitar

to bodhran, accordion, fiddle and more. They stay true to their roots: the sound is essentially Celtic, but the songs are in French, sung alone or in three part harmony, often interspersed with percussive step dancing.

Franklin Opera House, an intimate theater seating only 300 is acoustically perfect for this trio, and their musical style is perfect for an area with a large Franco-American population.

Tickets are on sale at franklinoperahouse.org or by calling 934-1901.

ALTON — Teen Movie Night at the Gilman Library at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 19 will allow attendes to take an unexpected journey with Bilbo Baggins as he attempts to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug.

Movie night includes popcorn and drinks and attendees are free to bring camp chairs or pillows.

PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth State University Department of Art Visiting Artist Series will present a slide discussion with Soo Sunny Park, associate professor of studio art at Dartmouth College from 4–5 p.m. Wednesday, April 17. The program will be held in Room 314 at the Draper and Maynard Building on North Main Street in Plymouth. There is no charge for admission.

Jan Garden Castro wrote of Park in Sculpture Magazine, “Soo Sunny Park’s light-filled installations are simultaneously visceral and immaterial.

They encourage viewers to explore the sensual effects of light and shadow, geometry, the natural landscape, and the wonders of physics.”

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Park received her BFA in painting and sculpture from Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio and a MFA in sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI. After a residency at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, she worked in St. Louis as an installation artist and lecturer at the Washington University. She has exhibited widely in the U.S. and in South Korea.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis

are not worth taking. Ask yourself honestly: Are you willing to accept, surrender to and dwell in whatever comes of this action? If not, don’t take the action.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). So much negativity can be cleared away by simply cleaning up the environment of your thoughts and the environment of your home. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel when all is clean.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Much of the action you take now is driven by the spirit of cooperation. Very little personal effort is involved, and this is because of your naturally friendly and helpful attitude.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is it better to deliver a white lie or a hard truth?

You aspire to telling the truth, but your compassion may influence you to take a softer approach. This is a call that only you can make.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 16). You have a clear sense of focus this year and will stay on task until your aims are accomplished. You have aspirations for your personal life, too, and refer to your wish list often. You’ll adventure with a special someone in the weeks to come, building lasting bonds. May and October bring bonus funds. There’s new work in June.

Gemini and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 12, 5, 33 and 28.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are a key part of a cycle. You’ll like your role, perhaps because it’s one you have never played before. Even though this is new territory, there’s already something lovely and graceful in your approach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone is thinking of you and in just the way you would most prefer. It’s satisfying to have some control over the way you are perceived and to enjoy the perks that come with that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your power won’t grow from shunning the parts of you that you don’t like, but from integrating all parts of you and accepting the polarities: good and bad, strong and weak, yin and yang.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). One person may spark your good mood, but you keep the flames alive even after this person has left. The field of love that is around us will not be an abstract concept to you now, but a reality that you can feel.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are moments in which you can’t see the point in drawing a conclusion, because the deeper you get into things the more you realize that everything is a mystery.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may have picked up an inaccurate belief along the way, and now it seems abundantly apparent. Put the idea to the test. You won’t have to ask too many questions to get to the truth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just as the wind moves stagnant energy outside, new influences move the stagnant energy of the mind. That’s why reading, conversation and intellectual experiences are important to your health.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be even more sensitive to the energetic reality around you. You can pick up on dark auras and either do something to lighten them or avoid them altogether. Be spiritually generous, but also know your limits.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There are many risks around you now that

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, April 16, the 106th day of 2013. There are 259 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 16, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in which the civil rights activist responded to a group of local clergymen who’d criticized him for leading street protests; King defended his tactics, writing, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

On this date: In 1789, President-elect George Washington left Mount Vernon, Va., for his inauguration in New York.

In 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill ending slavery in the District of Columbia. The Confederacy conscripted all white men between the ages of 18 to 35.

In 1912, American aviator Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel, traveling from Dover, England, to France in 59 minutes.

In 1917, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin returned to Russia after years of exile.

In 1935, the radio comedy program “Fibber McGee and Molly” premiered on NBC’s Blue Network.

In 1945, U.S. troops reached Nuremberg, Germany, during the Second World War. In 1947, the French ship Grandcamp blew up at the harbor in Texas City, Texas; another ship, the High Flyer, exploded the following day (the blasts and fires killed nearly 600 people).

Financier Bernard M. Baruch said in a speech at the South Carolina statehouse, “Let us not be deceived — we are today in the midst of a cold war.”

In 1962, Bob Dylan debuted his song “Blowin’ in the Wind” at Gerde’s Folk City in New York; Walter Cronkite succeeded Douglas Edwards as CBS-TV’s principal anchorman.

In 1972, Apollo 16 blasted off on a voyage to the moon with astronauts John W. Young, Charles M. Duke Jr. and Ken Mattingly on board.

In 1996, Britain’s Prince Andrew and his wife, Sarah, the Duchess of York, announced they were in the process of divorcing.

In 2007, in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, student Seung-Hui Cho (sung-wee joh) killed 32 people on the campus of Virginia Tech before taking his own life.

Ten years ago: The Bush administration lowered the terror alert level from orange to yellow, saying the end of heavy fighting in Iraq had diminished the threat of terrorism in the United States.

Five years ago: The Supreme Court upheld the most widely used method of lethal injection, allowing states to resume executions after a seven-month halt.

One year ago: A trial began in Oslo, Norway, for Anders Breivik (AHN’-durs BRAY’-vihk), charged with killing 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage in July 2011. (Breivik was found guilty of terrorism and premeditated murder and given a 21-year prison sentence.) The Associated Press won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting for documenting the New York Police Department’s widespread spying on Muslims, while the Philadelphia Inquirer was honored in the public service category for its examination of violence in the city’s schools; for the first time in 35 years, no Pulitzer for fiction was given.

PSU’s Carleen Graff presents lecture-recital on American four-hand piano music Thursday

PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University Professor of Music Carleen Graff will present a free lecture-recital on American four-hand piano music inspired by dances at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 18 in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts on Main Street in Plymouth.

PSU Collaborative Pianist Constance Chesebrough will perform the duets with Professor Graff, who will also present this program in Dusseldorf, Germany for the European Piano Teachers Association in May, one of only two U.S. educators to present.

The program will include a selection of works by composers Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Samuel

Barber, John Corigliano, Amy Beach and Scott Joplin; as well as works by pedagogical composers Robert Vandall, Carolyn Miller, David Karp and Melody Bober. The latter four composers have all been conductors at the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance summer piano camps for young students grades 5–12 created by Graff.

Graff will speak about the beginnings of American music, and the fact that the U.S. does not have repertoire as old as that found in Germany going all the way back to Bach. She says, “Amy Beach is actually one of our earliest composers of duets, and where I found two that were dance inspired.”

MOOULTONBOROUGH — The Lakes Region Chapter of the NH Audubon Society will present a program about the birds and wildlife of Ethiopia on Thursday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Loon Center.

Bob and Dana Fox of North Andover MA and Tuftonboro NH will present a program on their recent trip to Ethiopia. Their presentation will focus on

the endemic and special birds and animals of major regions of the country, which are shaped by its ancient geological history.

The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow the signs from Route 109 or from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School. Refreshments will be served.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I grew up in an extremely dysfunctional family. I have an older sibling who has hated the rest of us for the past 45 years. Family gatherings are extremely uncomfortable events. Inappropriate barbs lead to physical fights, young children cry while the adults pretend nothing is amiss, family members spy on one another, there is lots of back-stabbing, and some relatives are ignored while others are fawned over.

My mother allows her adult children to treat one another like animals and refuses to get involved in the chaos.

I am tired of this and will no longer let my children witness these destructive behaviors. Please let other parents know they should work to make their home a welcoming and loving environment. Is there anything I can do to counteract the hostility at these gatherings? -- Too Old for Hate Dear Too Old: You cannot force your parents and siblings to behave in a civilized manner. The pattern in your family seems fairly well set, and no one else has much interest in changing it. You are smart to realize that your choice is to stay or leave.

Calmly explain to your family why you are walking out (or not attending), and make no apologies. We commend you for recognizing this dysfunction and not transmitting it to your children. But please consider letting the children see some of the relatives one-on-one, under your supervision. Kids are extremely tolerant of aberrant behavior in family members and can understand “this is how Grandma is” without emulating her.

Dear Annie: “Michael” and I are a young gay couple pondering marriage. Gay marriage is not performed in our state, and we realize it would not be recognized here. It’s the principle of the thing.

A courthouse venue seems the most feasible, and I am won-

dering whom to invite. Michael’s parents and siblings would most certainly be there, but I don’t know what to do about my side. I have no siblings, and my parents are divorced. Mom is fully supportive, but my father doesn’t know I’m gay. I would prefer not telling him in order to avoid a conflict.

My father would probably never find out that Michael and I are married if I don’t tell him myself. But if he did learn about it, he’d be upset. Then again, he’d also be upset to learn that I’m getting married. Should I tell him? Also, because my guest list is limited, should I invite best friends? -- A Ring on It Dear Ring: We think you should tell your father, not only because keeping secrets can erode relationships, but also because you should not be hiding who you are. If you are mature enough to marry, it’s time to handle the fallout from your father. As for your guest list, invite those people you want to have as witnesses to your union, provided you can afford to do so.

Dear Annie: This is a response to “Feeling the Void in Indiana.” It was pretty brazen of him to claim to speak for all men when he said we feel incomplete without sex.

I’ll admit that is true for a lot of men, but certainly not all.

I’m a healthy 30-year-old man with all the normal biological urges. I also haven’t been in a romantic relationship in years and am completely sexually inactive -- and I feel fine about it.

That’s because I put my energy into other things like working out and enjoying outdoor activities. And I have a few friends who are as OK without sex as I am. Sex is not the be-all and end-all of human existence.

As a last note, any man who cheats on his wife or girlfriend is a cad, whatever feeble excuses he comes up with. -- Abstinent and OK with It
