LACONIA — Planning Director Shanna Saunders calls it “our storytelling grant,” $50,000 awarded to the city by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority to fund the development of architectural standards for downtown and The Weirs. What, you might ask, has storytelling got to do with architectural standards? Architectural standards were among the priorities when the Master Plan was updated in 2007 and two years later the Planning Department contracted with the Ironwood Design Group, LLC of Exeter and Sheer, McCrystal, Paison Architecture, Inc. of New London to assist with developing them. In November 2010 the consultants presented their initial findings to the Planning Board. Instead of critiquing the design of particular buildings, they eyed the city through the prism of “form-based code” (FBC), a departure from conventional zoning. Jeff Hyland of the Ironwood Design Group explained that see sTORy page 8

Police say truck was trying to pass at least 3 other vehicles
Belmont police and fire department officials examine the wreckage of a late-model pickup truck resting alongside Rte. 140 West on Tuesday night. Police later said that the driver of the truck, 21-year-old Kyle Hammons of Northfield and a passenger, 19-year-old Cody Southworth of Northfield, were both transported to Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia for treatment of unknown injuries resulting from the crash. Police said the accident remains under investigation but a preliminary report indicates the Belmont village bound truck was attempting to pass at least three other vehicles when it encountered westbound traffic and was forced to go off the road to avoid a collision. The soft shoulder of the roadway caused the driver to loose control of the truck and it struck a tree and flipped. One of the two young men was ejected from the truck at impact and the other managed to crawl from the wreckage. No other details of the accident were available at press time.

Kitchen pressure cookers used to house Boston Marathon bombs BOSTON (AP) — Federal agents zeroed in Tuesday on how the Boston Marathon bombing was carried out — with kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and other lethal shrapnel — but said they still didn’t know who did it and why. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly pleaded for members of the public to come forward with photos, videos or anything suspicious they might have seen or heard. “The range of suspects and motives remains wide open,” Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, said at a news conference. He vowed to “go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime.” President Barack Obama branded the attack
an act of terrorism but said officials don’t know “whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual.” Scores of victims of the Boston bombing remained in hospitals, many with grievous injuries, a day after the twin explosions near the marathon’s finish line killed three people, wounded more than 170 and reawakened fears of terrorism. A 9-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy were among 17 victims listed in critical condition. Heightening jitters in Washington, where security already had been tightened after the bombing, a letter addressed to a senator and poisoned with ricin or a similarly toxic substance was intercepted at a
Manchester runner injured by shrapnel MANCHESTER (AP) — A New Hampshire woman who was injured by shrapnel while watching the Boston Marathon says she didn’t realize it at first. Denise Spenard of Manchester says she and a friend were pushed into a restaurant when the first explosion happened Monday afternoon. She said she felt something sharp. She was bleeding from her side. “I noticed there was a hole in my sweatshirt and in my shirt that it had
gone through,” Spenard told WMURTV. She went to a hospital. “There were so many people in there they were doing an ultrasound on me in the lobby, and that’s when they realized there was something inside me,” she said. Spenard, who still has the shrapnel in her side and has to return for surgery, says she’s thankful to be home. “It could have been so much worse, so much worse,” she said. “I was one of the lucky ones.”
mail facility outside the capital, lawmakers said. There was no immediate indication the episode was related to the Boston attack. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the letter was sent to Republican Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi. Officials found that the bombs in Boston consisted of explosives put in ordinary, 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails, according to a person close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still going on. Both bombs were stuffed into black duffel bags and left on the ground, the person said. DesLauriers confirmed that investigators had see BOMBS page 3
8-year-old among the 3 people killed
BOSTON (AP) — Third-grader Martin Richard had just gotten ice cream and was near the Boston Marathon finish line, eagerly watching for friends to run by. Krystle Campbell was enjoying the race with her best friend, hoping to get a photo of the other woman’s boyfriend after he conquered the last mile. Then the unthinkable struck. The spirited 8-year-old, pictured on Facebook in his classroom holding a sign that read “No more hurting people,”
was dead, along with the outgoing 29-year-old woman and a graduate student from China — victims of twin bombs that turned a scene of celebration into chaos. More than 170 others suffered injuries that included severed limbs, shrapnel wounds, broken bones and head trauma.

Stock market bounces back after worst day of the day Hassan says N.H needs the NEW YORK (AP) — A strong report on housing and good quarterly earnings from several major companies helped the stock market rebound after its worst day of the year. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 157.58 points, or 1.1 percent, on Tuesday, to 14,756.78, winning back more than half of the 265 points it lost a day earlier. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed 22.2 points, or 1.4 percent, to 1,574.57. Home construction at an annual rate exceeded 1 million last month for the first time since June 2008. Robust earnings from companies that included Coca-Cola and W.W. Grainger also propelled the market higher. Monday’s market decline was the biggest since November 7, the day after Election Day. Worries
about an economic slowdown in China led to a drop in the price of oil, copper, and other commodities, causing mining and energy stocks to fall. The rally had already slowed earlier this month after reports of weak hiring and retail sales suggested that the economy was cooling off. Gold, which was at the epicenter of Monday’s selloff, rose 1.9 percent to $1,387.40 an ounce. The precious metal plunged 9 percent Monday, its steepest fall in 30 years. Investors were spooked after China reported economic growth of 7.7 percent, slower than many forecasts. They also sold the metal following another report of low inflation. People often buy gold when they’re fearful of rising prices and sell it when they see inflation ebbing. see STOCKS page 8

CONCORD (AP) — Don’t let Massachusetts walk away with millions of dollars from casinos that could help New Hampshire pay for education, hospital aid and school construction, Gov. Maggie Hassan urged the House on Tuesday. The House has consistently rejected casino bills over the years, but Hassan and casino supporters argued that the one before lawmakers now has a new urgency: New Hampshire will lose money once three casinos are finally licensed and operating in neighboring Massachusetts. “We can no longer pretend that gambling isn’t coming to our communities. It is already here,” see HASSAN page 19

Laconia School Board adopts 2013-14 tax cap friendly budget of $34.8 million To make numbers work, 6 staff positions will be cut & council will be asked to apply current surplus against new tax commitment By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA – The Laconia School Board Tuesday approved a $34.8 million budget for the 2013-2014 school year. The bottom line, which the board approved unanimously with little discussion, is $264,018 higher than the district’s current budget. When school officials met with the City Council on April 22, they told councilors they still needed to trim $234,333 from their spending plan to make it conform to the limitations called for under the city’s property tax cap. On Tuesday Superintendent Bob Champlin told the board that the School District plans to turn back to the city $100,000 from the district’s current budget, which the council could then add to the district’s 201314 budget the reduce the new amount that will need to be collected in taxes. The other $134,000 would come from cutting six staff positions.
Champlin said he hoped that all cuts would come through attrition and he said the decision of exactly which positions would be eliminated would be determined after his office knew which teachers would be retiring or leaving the district at the end of the school year. Key items in the budget are: $7.4 million for regular education, $3.9 million for special education, $1.67 million for school administration, $1.9 million for building operations and maintenance, and $2.58 million for debt service. School District Business Administrator Ed Emond said the spending package was essentially a levelfunded budget. He said one new item was $245,000 first year payment on the bond for the city’s share of $16 million renovation and building project at Laconia High School and the Huot Regional Technical Education Center. Champlin said that the budget maintains all the district’s educational programs. He said that the
savings would come through changes in employee health insurance and increased energy efficiency. Commenting on the $100,000 the district plans to return to the city, board member Mike Persson said, “This $100,000 is not money we don’t need. We do need this money. It’s a sacrifice, but it’s necessary.” School officials are scheduled to meet with the City Council next Monday to discuss the budget. In other business, the board approved a five-year school bus contract with the First Student company. The contract calls for increases of 10.4 percent a year over the life of the contract, although there will be no increase the first year. The district currently pays $536,706 a year to transport students. The new contract will make First Student responsible for paying that portion of fuel costs above $3 a gallon. In addition the company will install GPS devices on all buses so dispatchers will know where the vehicles are at all times and will replace the entire fleet of eight buses within the next two years.

We all want to find a solution but expanding Medicaid isn’t it To the editor, The N.H. State Senate is faced with the heated task of voting whether or not to expand Medicaid in NH. The Supreme Court has ruled that states reserve the right whether or not to implement this expansion. In order to entice states to rule in favor of expanding Medicaid, the federal government is dangling the carrot of 100 percent funding for the first three years, declining to 90 percent by 2020. This may look appealing and appear compassionate. We all detest the high cost of health care and know that “something must be done.” However, that “something” needs to be the RIGHT thing, not just a shot in the dark that we HOPE will fix the problem. The expansion of Medicaid will cost the taxpayers of New Hampshire $126 million over 10 years but unfortunately will NOT fix the problem of high medical costs and access to treatment. Approximately 30 percent of doctors say they will no longer take Medicaid payments, so there will be even fewer doctors to treat these patients. This will require Medicaid patients to continue to flood emer-
gency rooms. My understanding is that hospitals are lobbying our representatives diligently to pass this expansion to receive these federal funds. Of course, these funds are either borrowed and/or printed at a terrifying rate of speed, further hurting the long term potential for a real solution. This is a non-sustainable fix to a very real problem. Contact your Senator to tell them to NOT expand Medicaid in N.H. under these conditions. We ALL want to find a solution, but this isn’t it! We need to sit down in New Hampshire, with both providers and consumers of health care in New Hampshire and find a New Hampshire-style solution to this problem that plagues nearly all of us! In case anyone is prepared to accuse me of other than genuinely trying to fix this problem, please know that I do not have insurance. I would be happy to sit down with any policy maker or health care provider to come up with real world solutions to this very real problem. Debbie Johnson Campton
LETTERS Thank you, towns, for supporting our mental health system To the editor, As we come to the end of another town meeting season, all of us at Genesis Behavioral Health are grateful for the generous appropriations we received from so many of the towns we serve. These are challenging times for all of us. Yet, the voters clearly recognized the importance of good mental health to a healthy community. We were humbled by the increased funding we received from many towns, and honored to receive several new appropriations. Thank you to the towns of Alexandria, Alton, Ashland, Belmont, Bristol, Center Harbor, Ellsworth, Gilford, Gilmanton, Groton, Hebron, Holderness, Meredith, New Hampton, Plymouth, Rumney, Thornton and Wentworth for supporting Emergency Services, and to the City of Laconia for its past and anticipated support. We recognize that you have difficult choices to make, and we thank you for choosing to invest in Genesis Behavioral Health. One in four adults and one in 10 young children will be affected by a mental health disorder in a given year. Mental illness impacts all of us in some way, whether directly as a client or family member, or indirectly as a member of the community. Without proper treatment, mental illness often affects one’s ability to work, participate in school, contribute to the community and maintain relationships. In fact, the economic cost
of untreated mental illness is more than 100 billion dollars each year in the United States, causing unnecessary disability, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, suicide and wasted lives (National Alliance on Mental Illness, 2011). Reduced access to mental health care leads to increased demand on many of the systems in our community, including emergency rooms, law enforcement, first responders, courts, corrections, schools and municipalities. The appropriation you made to Genesis Behavioral Health will help us provide emergency services to any resident of your town who is experiencing a mental health crisis. Our team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide crisis intervention, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. The funding we receive from towns alleviates the deficit we incur as a result of providing this program to our communities. We look forward to a continued partnership with the towns we serve, and invite our community to become our partner. We encourage you to advocate, give, or volunteer. Most of all, we thank you for recognizing that a healthy community requires healthy minds as well as healthy bodies. Margaret M. Pritchard Executive Director Genesis Behavioral Health Laconia
2nd Amendment is racist, should have been abolished with slavery To the editor, How often have we heard the NRA pontificate on our 2nd Amendment rights? It’s obvious by now that this institution does not represent its membership. What sane person can believe that after the slaughter of the innocents in Newtown, responsible gun owners don’t want to be “inconvenienced” with gun registration? Time to call a spade a spade. The 2nd Amendment is a racist piece of legislation that should have been removed with the abolition of slavery. Only the most irresponsible gun owners believe that the 2nd Amendment actually “protects” our freedoms. Paranoids have to come to grips
with the fact that 9mm Glocks are no match for drones, tanks and the strongest army in the world. We derive our “freedoms” from the 1st Amendment. Liberals and clear thinking conservatives need to start educating the public that the pen is mightier than the sword. The NRA and its gun rituals remind me of another institution that will go un-named. It is about keeping things as they always have been. This is probably why an ever increasing number of people believe that this gun manufacturer’s foil is a hindrance to human progress. George Maloof Plymouth

LETTERS New Beginnings in your local resource for domestic violence issues To the editor, New Beginnings would like to invite the community to join us, and organizations across the county in observing sexual assault awareness month. In New Hampshire, one in four women and one in 20 men have been sexually assaulted. Unfortunately, rates of victimization are very high among children and teens. National studies indicate that as many as one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually assaulted before they are 18. Everyone in the community has a role to play in ending sexual assault, and this April, there are several ways to join our efforts. One way to get involved is as simple as checking out your local library. For eight years, New Beginnings has partnering with libraries serving Belknap County towns to create displays that feature readings and educational materials about sexual violence and additional information about New Beginnings. Displays include a variety of genres, such as adult and young adult fiction, non-fiction, and self help books. Individuals and book clubs are encouraged to participate, and facilitated book discussions with New Beginnings staff are available upon request. Another opportunity is to join New Beginnings and our sister agency, Voices Against Violence in Plymouth, in observing Denim Day. The Denim Day campaign began in 1999 as part of an international protest of an Italian Supreme Court decision to overturn a rape conviction. The basis for this decision was that the victim was wearing jeans, and according to the court, he could not have removed them without her help. The judgment sparked a worldwide outcry from those who understand that coercion, threats and violence go along with the act of rape. Join us in wearing denim to raise awareness, stand with victims, and call for justice. Another important thing we can all
do is to accept the call to action that is at the heart of this year’s national campaign: preventing childhood sexual abuse. Communities across the country are standing up for children by proclaiming, “It’s time.... to talk about it!” Everyone can get involved in ending sexual abuse against children by talking early, talking often, and taking action. This will help keep the next generation safe, not only through their childhood years, but into adulthood as well. However, it is hard for parents to know how to begin these conversations. New Beginnings is available to present to groups of parents and community members about talking to kids and teens about safety, respect, healthy relationships of all kinds, and strategies for prevention and intervention. If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual, domestic, or stalking violence — or even if you simply have more questions about how to help prevent violence and abuse — please contact New Beginnings. As the local “crisis center,” we do provide services to people in crisis situations, but we also offer a lot more. Staff and trained volunteer advocates provide information, referrals, and support 24 hours a day and our services are always confidential and free of charge. We can answer questions about any aspect of sexual violence, domestic violence, abusive relationships, and stalking. We can help you gain an understanding of warning signs of abuse, talking to your kids about abuse and safety, legal processes and options, community services and resources, and more. New Beginnings can be reached at (603) 528-6511 for the office, or either of the statewide hotlines: 1-800-2275570 (Sexual Violence) and 1-866-6443574 (Domestic Violence).

150 people making decisions for Sanbornton not enough; vote SB-2 To the editor, I am hoping that this year the majority of Sanbornton’s voters will say yes to Question #1 which will allow us to adopt SB-2 on election day — May 14th. The adoption of SB-2 allows all residents to vote on the town budget in the privacy of the election booth on election day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Currently only those who attend the town meeting are allowed to deter-
mine decisions made regarding town policy, procedure and budget. There are approximately 150 Sanbornton residents who attend the town meeting, a poor turnout considering the town has 2178 registered voters , that allows a minority to determine how much money is going to spent and how much it will impact our tax rate.

Although the appearance of the Emerald Ash Borer beetle in Concord means little threat to Belknap County forests, which have fewer ash trees than in other parts of the state, some of the shade trees planted in public places are ash. These two trees, planted at the intersection of Pleasant and Main streets in downtown Laconia, are at risk of becoming infested by the invasive insect. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)
BEETLE from page one make its mark on the Belknap County landscape, as the ash trees it infests are often planted as shade trees, both in public parks and at private residences and developments. Kevin Dunleavy, director of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, confirmed that green and black ash trees, though not the most prevalent of trees in city parks, are often integrated into plantings of public green spaces. “We have mixed it in,” he said. Ash trees, for example, are among the trees planted in the sidewalks in the city’s downtown, and Dunleavy said “we have our concerns” about the appearance of the Emerald Ash Borer in Concord. A native to much of Asia, the insect was first discovered in North America in 2002, in Michigan. In that state, the beetle decimated the ash trees, killing millions of them. Without a natural predator to balance the beetle’s population, they’ve been spotted in 18 states since the first affected tree was discovered in Michigan. The beetle’s travel, both from Asia to Michigan and from that state throughout North America, is thought to be accelerated by human activity, especially the transport of firewood. In response to the Concord infestation, the state placed a quarantine on wood in Merrimack County, prohibiting its transport to other regions of the state. The Emerald Ash Borer, according to a document on the USDA’s website, lays its eggs on the bark of an ash tree. The larvae bore through the bark and feed on the phloem, the living tissue of the tree, directly underneath the bark. In the spring, they emerge as adults and begin mating shortly thereafter. Though adult Emerald Ash Borers live only two to three weeks, a female
can lay as many as 90 eggs during that lifetime. Unchecked, a local population of Emerald Ash Borers doubles in size every year, and trees are usually killed within a few to five years of infestation. “It’s a scary prospect,” Fast said about the detection of the beetle in New Hampshire. However, he advised against panicked or hasty decisions, such as proactively removing any ash trees. “From a forest management perspective, that’s not going to help much.” Fast, encouraged by the amount of information scientists have gained about the beetle in the past decade, that there may be a way to manage the impact the Emerald Ash Borer has on trees in Belknap County. In the states hardest hit by the invasive species, he noted, observers have seen the beetles kill adult trees and move on to find fresh food sources. In their wake, the roots or stumps of affected trees will send new shoots of growth, only to be swept over by a second wave of beetles. Fast said there are established pesticide treatments recommended for Emerald Ash Borer control, allowing property owners or municipalities the opportunity to monitor and protect specific ash trees. There may also be a biological counter-measure, as researchers are studying three species of stingless wasps that hunt Emerald Ash Borers in their native environment. He’s hoping that an “equilibrium” will be reached, one where New Hampshire’s landscape will continue to host some healthy ash trees despite the insect’s existence. “It’s a huge concern, but we have a few tools. It’s really going to be information that helps us,” said Fast. Until the best response is develsee next page

from preceding page oped, Fast urged vigilance, both in terms of observing the firewood quarantines and for those who have an ash tree they care about. “Folks should definitely be vigilant,” he said. There are several signs that an ash tree will exhibit in the case of an Emerald Ash Borer infestation. The tree might show only one or two of the signs. The first indication that something might be wrong is a thinning of the tree’s canopy. Fast said, “It targets the crown of the tree first – thin and not a lot of leaves in it.” Another cause for concern would be increased woodpecker activity, as the birds seek the larvae underneath the bark. Because their quarry isn’t deep in the wood of the tree, Fast said the woodpeckers will only be scratching the surface of the ash branches. “It’s going to look like the bark’s being scraped off,” he said. If an observer can examine the canopy of an infested tree, Fast said the bark will feature “D” shaped holes, left by adult beetles leaving their larval home. The bark may also begin to split, revealing the marks left in the phloem by the larvae as they tunnel beneath the bark. Lastly, the tree may send out lots of long sprouts, though Fast said this is often characteristic of any stressed tree. If a homeowner notices any of these signs, Fast said he or she may contact him at the Cooperative Extension’s Belknap County Office, or may send a photo of a symptomatic tree to the extension via a link found on nhwoods.org. As far as the city’s trees go, Dunleavy hoped that they will continue to offer shade for many years to come. “There’s not much we can do but keep an eye out for it,” he said. “The more eyes, the better. If there’s early identification, it can help.”
Deputy sheriff collars woman wanted in Louisiana LACONIA — The alertness of a Belknap County Deputy Sheriff led to the apprehension on Monday morning of woman wanted for a parole violation and a bench warrant in New Hampshire as well as a warrant for forgery in Louisiana. Francina Olivia Race, 49, of 131 Lake Street was arrested on the outstanding charges as well as charged with driving after suspension, disobeying an officer and misuse of plates. Following her arraignment in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday she was held without bail in the Belknap County Jail. Deputy Justin Blanchette spotted a vehicle on
Lake Street bearing license plates registered to another vehicle and subsequently stopped the vehicle in the parking lot at Lowe’s in Gilford. Although Race initially gave Blanchette a false name then attempted to use her mother’s name and date of birth, he quickly identified her and found her driver’s license was suspended. He also discovered the parole violation, the electronic bench warrant from the 6th Circuit Court, Concord Division and the warrant issued by Shreveport, Louisiana for felony level forgery. Louisiana authorities have confirmed they will have her extradited to face prosecution for forgery.
Couple connected to drugs & naked 5-year-old waive PC hearings LACONIA — A man and woman charged with multiple drug offenses, including exposing a child to methamphetamine, waived probable cause hearings this week and remain in Belknap County Jail in lieu of cash bail. Nicholas Phelps, 28, is charged with possession of heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Courtney Rogers, 26, is charged with possession of oxycodone with intent to distribute and possession of cocaine.
Both are charged with two counts of exposing Rogers’s 5-year-old daughter to methamphetamine and paraphernalia. The court set cash bail for Phelps at $50,000 and for Rogers at $25,000. Last week police raided the apartment on Union Avenue shared by Phelps and Rogers where they say they found the child running naked with oxycodone pills strewn on a shelf in the bathroom easily within her reach.
New Hampshire Bhutanese communities recipients of $1.2M in grants
CONCORD — The Bhutanese communities of Laconia, Concord and Manchester were among the recipients of 39 grants with an aggregate value of $1.2-million awarded by the Endowment for Health, Inc. in the past nine months. The Bhutanese Community of New Hampshire received $13,869 to empower the women among their number to assume leadership roles. Women from three communities will use the funds to develop a plan for improving access health care and human services for women and children.
Kelly Laflamme, program director of the Endowment for Health, said that the grant is among several intended to foster “self-determination and empowerment” among new American families by encouraging them “to engage int he civic dialogue of their communities as well as to become active participants in the education of their children.” She said that the project would also help to overcome “the social isolation and depression that newcomers often experience.” see next page

STORYTELLING from page one conventional zoning primarily segregates different uses into different districts. FBC, on the other hand, emphasizes the form, features and placement of buildings themselves, which together define the bounds and character of the relationship between private development and public space. Where conventional zoning is based on specific uses and numerical standards, FBC gives priority to quality design and graphic imagery.” FBC helps you achieve what you want,” he said, “while traditional zoning is based on what you don’t want.” Saunders recalled that she first encountered storytelling as a means of discovering what residents want when seeking a grant from the Orton Family Foundation, which assists small cities and towns preserve their identity and character in the face of growth and development. “They use the storytelling method to determine what residents believe is unique and valuable about their communities,” she said. Saunders said that when she spoke to residents and business owners at The Weirs about what they considered important they told stories about what they valued most. “We decided to look for stories about what people like and dislike about downtown
and The Weirs,” she said, “to collect information by collecting stories.” Saunders has enlisted a number of allies in the effort, including the Main Street Initiative, Weirs Action Committee, Laconia Historical Society and the schools. She said that a “Family Write Night” was held at Woodland Heights Elementary School and that high school students will be interviewing residents of the Taylor Community. Storytelling booths will be opening at the Laconia Public Library and at The Weirs during Motorcycle Week and throughout the summer there is a story “hotline” on the Planning Department’s page on the city website. Saunders intends to turn these stories into architectural overlay districts for the two “villages.” The districts will incorporate architectural standards, building placement, streetscape features, pedestrian ways, traffic patterns, parking areas and public spaces. She said that the aim will be to promote economic growth while sustaining the character the character of both downtown and The Weirs. Saunders anticipated that distilling the information from the stories and translating it into zoning ordinances to be her stiffest challenge.
TEACHERS from page one the City Council. School Board representatives are scheduled to meet with the council next Monday. Superintendent Bob Champlin told the board Tuesday evening the contracts would not require adding any money to the district’s proposed $34.8 million budget for the coming fiscal year. He said the increases in pay in the first year would be offset by savings in health insurance. Champlin said that employees covered by the contract would be switched to a “consumer-driven model of health care.” Although individual employees would not contribute toward the cost of their premiums, School District Business Administrator Ed Emond explained that under the new plan the employees would incur higher deductibles for treatment and procedures and that employees would be able to set up health reimbursement accounts to help offset some of the costs of their care. Champlin said that the combination of the 2 percent COLAs and step increases would amount to an average 3 1/2 increase in pay. But he said that when taking into account that school district employees have not had any pay increases for three years, the increase spread out over six years amounts to 1.6 percent a year. He said that pay raises were essential for Laconia to recruit and retain teachers, especially when neighboring districts, like Gilford and Inter-Lakes, offer better pay than Laconia. School Board Chairman Joe Cormier said that keeping good teachers was a challenge because of
the salary differences. Other contract changes include raising the age of eligibility for retirement for teachers from 55 to 60, and paying for only single plan health insurance coverage for newly hired full-time para-educators. Champlin told the board that even though the School District would still be paying the full cost of the employees’ health insurance premiums, the cost will be less than if the district was offering a more standard kind of health insurance with the employees paying a portion of their premiums. He said the cost of a family plan under the more standard form of health insurance coverage is now about $30,000 a year, whereas under the plan called for in the contracts the cost of a family play will be $21,500. Board member Beth Arsenault said she was impressed with the cooperation the unions had shown during the negotiation process that it was good to be able to reward them with raises after a negotiated three-year pay freeze.

STOCKS from page 2 Gold is down 27 percent since it climbed to a record of $1,892 an ounce in August 2011. “This is the first time in a while that we’ve had pretty positive numbers,” said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist for TD Ameritrade. “We had one bad day yesterday. You can’t say because of that one bad day that all bets are off.” While Chinese growth fell short of expectations, Monday’s sell-off may have been disproportionate to the slight slowdown in China’s growth. Growth in the world’s second biggest economy missed analysts’ forecasts by just 0.3 percentage points. China is watched closely because it is a major market for foreign goods from iron ore to smartphones. Investors hope demand from China can help offset weakness in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Mining companies rose Tuesday as commodities markets stabilized. Materials stocks gained the most of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 after leading the market lower the day before.

HASSAN from page 2 Hassan told a joint House committee. Hassan told the lawmakers that the spending she seeks has bipartisan support. “The choice comes when we consider how to pay for these crucial investments,” she said. A Senate bill passed last month would license a single casino with up to 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games in New Hampshire. The proposal earmarks the revenue from gambling for highway improvements, higher education and economic development in the state’s North Country. Hassan’s proposed budget counts on $80 million from licensing a casino and raising the tobacco tax 30 cents to $1.98 per pack of cigarettes. The House passed a budget April 3 that splits the difference. It leaves out the gambling revenue but gives less money to higher education and hospitals than Hassan’s budget calls for and places a moratorium on money for new school construction. Senate Republicans won’t build their budget using gambling money unless the House passes its casino bill and if the House doesn’t, the Senate could cut spending as much as $100 million rather than raise taxes, said Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Morse, a Salem Republican and bill sponsor. “We don’t want to lose to Massachusetts,” he said. Hassan and state Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, a Manchester Democrat and the bill’s prime sponsor, said arguments against gambling are similar to those made 50 years ago when New Hampshire legalized the lottery, when opponents warned the lottery would prove to be a tragic mistake. “We do not have moral bankruptcy in New Hampshire,” he said. But Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice countered that the addictive nature of video slot machines
is far different from scratch tickets and the other games allowed now. Rice argued increased crime and social problems will come with a casino. “Do not be lured by the promise of easy money coming into the state,” said Rice. House Judiciary Chairwoman Marjorie Smith said it was unlikely the money would be available for the two-year budget the House and Senate must agree to by July 1 since it would probably take two years from legislative approval to the day a casino opened its doors for money to start coming into the state. State Sen. Jeanie Forrester, a Meredith Republican, said a casino would hurt small businesses because people would spend their spare cash in a casino instead of buying their goods and services. She also said New Hampshire’s traditional image as a family-friendly tourist state would be drowned out by millions of dollars in marketing spent by a casino to attract customers. But others spoke of pent-up spending demands as reason enough to support a revenue source that wasn’t taxes. State Sen. Jeff Woodburn, a Dalton Democrat, said the 58 struggling northern New Hampshire communities he represents need economic development investment from the state. The Senate bill would earmark a small slice of the gambling profits to help a region that had to lobby for new prisons to boost its economy, he said. “How many of you would want that tough choice of building prisons as economic development,” he said. Woodburn said government has a duty to help economically distressed regions. “What’s your responsibility to my people?” he asked the committees. “The problem is not gambling. The problem is poverty.”
Red Sox beat Indians in first match-up with ex-skipper Francona
CLEVELAND (AP) — Mike Napoli hit a three-run double in Boston’s seven-run second inning and the Red Sox, playing with heavy hearts one day after the deadly bombings back home, beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 on Tuesday night. The series opener was also Indians manager Terry Francona’s first game against the Red Sox, the team he led to two World Series titles during eight seasons in Boston. Helped by five walks, the Red Sox scored seven runs in the second off Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2) and gave Felix Doubront (1-0) all the support he needed. Staked to the big lead, Doubront allowed two runs
and four hits in five innings. He struck out seven. Jimenez was atrocious in his two-inning stint. The right-hander walked five, including two with the bases loaded, to force in a pair of runs. Pedro Ciriaco hit a sacrifice fly and Ellsbury had an RBI single off Jimenez, who was pulled after walking Pedroia to load the bases on his 59th pitch. As he walked slowly to the dugout, Indians fans let Jimenez know how they felt about his latest poor performance. He is 1-12 since the second half of last season. Cody Allen relieved Jimenez and gave up Napoli’s three-run double to make it 7-0.

Exercise plus activity keeps seniors healthy “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. “We grow old because we stop playing.” Seniors relate to this George Bernard Shaw quote as they understand that staying active, being involved and engaged is key to enjoying retirement living to the fullest. Speaking recently to a group of seniors, Taylor resident Harriet Morse pointed out, “I didn’t come here just to retire – I came here to live!” For her and other seniors across the country, staying active is more than just about fun and enjoyment, it’s about staying well and feeling well. In fact, people of any age could benefit from our elders’ wisdom, experience and advice when it comes to staying active.

A Serious Discussion between Aging Parents and their Children An Open Letter to My Children... I want to make my own decisions about getting old! Remember I’m your MOTHER! I have been making my own decisions all my life and have managed to stick around long enough to bring up you and the grandchildren. If I move around more slowly now and ponder over things a little more, it is only because I am smarter and wiser than I used to be.. Age has its bonuses! Don’t get me wrong... I do want you to guide me in making the big decisions. I just want to be the one to make those decisions with the advice of my doctors and health care providers. I have prepared a Living Will and have provided for a Health Care Power of Attorney. You will know my wishes. I want to live as I always have... in familiar settings... as long as I can. I want you to help me remain in my own home and make the necessary accommodations to enable me to do so as long as my doctors and nurses say I can. My doctor, the Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor (279-6611) and LRGH are minutes away. While a nursing home maybe somewhere in my future, let’s not rush me down that road. On the other hand, I don’t want to be a burden on anyone. That doesn’t mean you get off the hook and only visit me at your convenience. Living an independent life doesn’t mean one wants to be lonely. And who says that at my age I haven’t earned the services of an occasional housekeeper, butler, maid and chauffer? The grandchildren, too, can demonstrate their love by doing simple tasks around my house, by sending me cards, and by giving me a call. The older teens can take me shopping,
ya know. There is a nice sitting area at my supermarket where they can ‘do their homework’. No texting... they are either finding my “Depends” or reading Romeo and Juliet! I can get a ride from ‘Caregivers’ (253-9100) occasionally. They don’t have to take a day off from work like you might have to. I also like giving them a small donation. It makes me feel good! Oh... and if I do fall down (and I never have!) I can always push my ‘lifeline’ button or dial 911. Those local guys and gals (first responders) downtown know exactly where I live and will be here in minutes. All the information they need is already on the refrigerator. Did you know that our local VNA is NOT just all about nursing? They have physical therapists, occupational therapists and folks who will simply come by to help me bathe and assist me with other personal needs. They will come for as few as two hours or as long as I need them. They are very affordable, and with their help I will be able to remain at home with excellent care that much longer. There is an old song verse that frequently comes to mind: “Whatever will be, will be; the future’s not ours to see....” Thanks in advance for being there for me ‘when I need you’ and for including me and guiding me and my caregivers in all those decisions that will impact upon my health and lifestyle in the years to come. Now... STOP WORRYING ABOUT ME!
Children’s Response...... Thanks for your letter, Mom, but most of all thanks for your LOVE. You have opened up a conversation that we have wanted to have with you for some time. You raised us with both care and affection. We want to demonstrate that same attentiveness and love for you. Now, it is our turn to be there for you but just as you said “not in your face”! Will you let us? Let’s start at the beginning... You never would admit your age! Eventually we ‘crept’ into your purse one day and perused your driver’s license. We never told you because you would have ‘killed’ us and we could never find that many candles for your birthday cake. Now you are almost three times that old. Yikes! Worse than that, we’re catching up very fast! When you need our help we want to be there for you. We are members of your ‘Good Health and Longevity Team”. The team also includes you, your doctors, nurses, caregivers and the entire family all working together. Ideally, the ‘team’ will respond before you fall, before you can no longer make all the stairs and before the plumbingbacks-up or the temperature in the house is low enough to freeze the pipes. Of course,you are the most important member of this ‘team’. There is nothing more important than an open, honest relationship with one’s doctor. Will you visit her as often as necessary and long before the com-
mon cold becomes pneumonia? How do we know if you are eating well and taking your medications? When you are ill and in need of nursing care, will we be the first to know? Will you allow us to dialogue with your doctors to determine the best care for you? In your best wisdom you have opened that door by making your intentions known through completing a Living Will and Health Care Directive. When we visit, it is because we want to visit not because we feel an obligation to do so. The children may be fidgety and may have their eyes focused on their I-pads and ears tuned into their music because that’s what kids do most of their day. They still love you and want to be with you. Fortunately, we live in an area where many services are available for people when the need presents itself. The Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor (279-6611), Interlakes Community Caregivers (253-9100), the Senior Center, Meals-On-Wheels and Lakes Region General Hospital to name a few. Your children take comfort in that these fine services are available when and if you need them. If we call you once or twice a day it is because we are concerned about your welfare. Please forgive us if our call just happens to be when you are watching “Jeopardy”. With today’s communication we can reach you from the car, the ski slopes and the kids’ ballgame and better still you can call us anytime. There you have it mom.... we’re on the same ‘team’ after all. It’s a matter of love, trust and openness. It’s what you wanted from us when we were little kids and it’s what we want from you in your senior years. Love you.... I n -H o m e C a re S e r v I C e S

I feel it is so easy for me to absorb love from my family now that I’m here, than it was in the nursing home. I am happy with the treatment I receive from the ladies at Sanctuary Home Health Nursing. They make it possible for my daughter to go to work during the day and for me to get the assistance I need.”

The Joys of Maintenance Free Living There is much in the news about downsizing and finding time to do the things one doesn’t have time to do when taking care of a large house. Some even say they don’t know what they would do if they didn’t have a yard to keep manicured and gutters to clean (What?!). Though some find joy in tending their garden, it is often difficult to give it the time and attention it needs when weighed down by other commitments. Not sure where the magic number of 55 years old came from, but there have been many new communities popping up that offer maintenance free living if you have hit a certain age. Perhaps this is when kids are typically grown and out of the family house and a time when people want more freedom from household chores, more time to travel, give more time to their existing, or pursue a new career, go back to school or tend to a favorite hobby. In a maintenance-free community like Wesley
Woods, you can have it all. A modest home that still gives you room to host friends and family for long weekends or holidays. Someone to handle the big chores like lawn care, snow shoveling, roof repair, plumbing issues or appliance repair. But beyond that, the neighbors are also available to share a new hobby, share a game of bridge, join in a hike through the splendid Lakes Region or just be available to share a meal every once in a while. It’s not just about someone to do the chores for you. It is also about making new friends, finding new challenges, and sharing life with others. Yesterday, those who follow Wesley Woods on Facebook (and isn’t that something new to learn!) saw photos of Belknap Landscaping doing the big work! One resident called and said she was looking out the window at the diligent worker bees (and they did kind of look like bees with their fluorescent yellow vests on), while she enjoyed
frompage page12 from
her cup of coffee. And, she was still watching them work when she finished her lunch and a phone call with her niece. Another resident left for Florida a few months ago and is eagerly awaiting her return because she knows all was handled while she was gone. One low monthly fee that covers all her expenses and someone on-site to assure all is well, allows her the freedom to enjoy her Florida home without worrying about her New Hampshire home. Though people say it is hard to leave the home they raised their families in, once the downsizing has been accomplished and they are settled in their new lifestyle, they are truly happy and always say they wish they had done it sooner. Talk to a downsizing expert, talk to a realtor about getting the house ready for sale and take a spin around one of those maintenance-free communities and prepare to enjoy all the extra time you suddenly find.
in to be sure the senior’s condition is stable. “As people age, they sometimes need just a bit of extra help to remain independent and safe at home where nearly all wish to remain. Meals on Wheels fills that need with a nutritious meal, a warm greeting from a neighbor, and the reassurance that someone will be stopping by regularly.” — Paul Span, January 15, 2013 New York Times Article “More to Meal Delivery than Food” Community support is essential to this 41 year old program designed to assist homebound individuals to assure they can remain independent and safe in their homes and in our community. Few realize that the cost of each meal delivered is $7 and that only 70% of that cost is covered from government sources. The balance must come from foundations, clients, and community philanthropy. This gap does not include the 50,000 unfunded meals that we project we will deliver in 2013. “We spend a lot on crazy medical interventions that don’t have as much effect as
a $7 dollar meal. With this new data we’re able to see this relationship for the first time.” — Dr. Vincent Mor, co-author of Brown University study Make an gift of your time and treasure while getting some great exercise and fresh air.

adults from www.helpguide.org, will persuade you. Myth 1: There’s no point to exercising; I’m going to get old anyway. Fact: Exercise and strength training helps you look and feel younger and stay active longer. Regular physical activity lowers your risk for a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer’s and dementia, heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, high blood pressure and obesity. Myth 2: Elderly people shouldn’t exercise. They should save their strength and rest. Fact: Research shows a sedentary lifestyle is unhealthy for the elderly. Period. Inactivity often causes seniors to lose the ability to do things on their own and can lead to more hospitalizations, doctor visits and use of medications for illness. Myth 3: Exercise puts me at risk of falling down. Fact: Regular exercise, by building strength and stamina, prevents loss of bone mass and improves balance, actually reducing your risk of falling Myth 4: It’s too late. I’m already too old to start exercising. Fact: You’re never too old to exercise! If you’ve never exercised before, or if it’s been awhile, start with light walking and other gentle activities. Myth 5: I’m disabled. I can’t exercise sitting down. Fact: Chair-bound people face special challenges, but can lift light weights, stretch and do chair aerobics to increase range of motion, improve from preceding page

muscle tone and promote cardiovascular health. “All too often seniors living on their own become less and less involved and connected to other people and other things going on as they age”, said Chris Guthro, aquatics and fitness coordinator at Taylor Community “The tough thing is getting started. “It may require giving yourself a bit of a push to get up, get out, and get into that routine. But each and every time you do, you’ll feel better and never regret it.” And doing something with others in a group setting makes it all that much more enjoyable instead of exercising alone in your own home.” If you dread working out, it’s time for a mental makeover. Consider physical activity part of your lifestyle instead of a bothersome task to check off your “to do” list. Choose activities and exercises you enjoy. There are plenty of ways for seniors to make exercise a pleasurable part of everyday life—here are just a few. • Walking. Walking is a perfect way to start exercising. It requires no special equipment, aside from a pair of comfortable walking shoes, and can be done anywhere. • Senior sports or fitness classes. Keeps motivation alive while also providing a source of fun, stress relief, and a place to meet friends. • Water aerobics and water sports. Working out in water is wonderful for seniors because water reduces stress and strain on the body’s joints. • Yoga. Combines a series of poses with breathing. Moving through the poses works on strength, flexibility and balance. Yoga can be adapted to any level. • Tai Chi. Martial arts-inspired

systems of movement that increase balance and strength. Committing to a routine of physical activity is one of the healthiest decisions you can make. Before you get moving, though, consider how best to be safe. • Get medical clearance from your doctor before starting an exercise program, especially if you have a preexisting condition. Ask if there are any activities you should avoid. • Consider health concerns. Keep in mind how your ongoing health problems affect your workouts. For example, diabetics may need to adjust the timing of medication and meal plans when setting an exercise schedule. Above all, if something feels wrong, such as sharp pain or unusual shortness of breath, simply stop. You may need to scale back or try another activity. • Start slow. If you haven’t been active in a while, it can be harmful to go “all out.” Instead, build up your exercise program little by little. Try spacing workouts in ten-minute increments twice a day. Or try just one class each week. Prevent crash-andburn fatigue by warming up, cooling down, and keeping water handy. • Get support. It’s easier to keep going with support. Consider taking a class or exercising with your partner or friends. • Commit to an exercise sched-
ule for at least 3 or 4 weeks so that it becomes habit, and force yourself to stick with it. • Stay motivated by focusing on short-term goals, such as improving your mood and energy levels and reducing stress, rather than goals such as weight loss, which can take longer to achieve. • Recognize problems. Exercise should never hurt or make you feel lousy. Stop exercising immediately and call your doctor if you feel dizzy or short of breath, develop chest pain or pressure, break out in a cold sweat, or experience pain. Also stop if a joint is red, swollen, or tender to touch. Guthro is passionate about seniors staying active because of the rewards to these active seniors that she sees each and every day in her work. “The benefits are great in terms of how they feel and their overall health including their physical, mental and emotional wellness. And if you’re not already taking part in regular exercise and activities, it’s never too late to start!” ••• For more information or questions about fitness options for seniors, contact Chris Guthro, aquatics and fitness coordinator at Taylor Community524-5600 or visit www.taylor community.org.

Prince John’s Medieval Festival at Plymouth State University April 21 PLYMOUTH — The student Medieval Society at Plymouth State University will present the second annual Prince John’s Medieval Festival from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. April 21, with events both indoors and outside at the Hartman Union Building on High Street. The event combines medieval- and Renaissancethemed fun with historical information and demonstrations including medieval music arranged and performed by the PSU Panther Band, a labyrinth, a human chess game, a turkey-leg table hosted by Sodexo, a miniature trebuchet demonstration and a Japanese tea ceremony with the PSU Japanese Culture and Anime Club. A highlight of the festival will be displays and demonstrations of life in medieval European cultures before the 17th century by a local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and the Guild of St. Maurice. The guild recreates a military encampment and displays of the skills and life of a Landsknecht unit (mercenary soldiers and camp followers), and their wives and family members. Guild members spend the day demonstrating daily life activities such as cooking, woodworking, sewing and even practicing medicine. They also demonstrate the “newest in Renaissance military techniques” including drilling with 14-foot pikes, shooting matchlock muskets and sword and armor displays. Magician Daniel Greenwolf will also be on hand throughout the day. Renaissance Festival Podcast and Renaissance Magazine have voted Greenwolf one of the top five solo variety acts in the United States for each of the last five years. Ariel Couture, coordinator of the festival says, “We will have games from varying time periods, and possibly some that are modern with medieval influences. All time travelers are welcome, in costume and garb or everyday dress. Be sure to stop by our “market” and check out some period and periodinspired wares.”

Laconia Historical and Museum Society holding appraisal event Saturday at Antiques Center LACONIA — The Laconia Historical and Museum Society will hold its Quarterly Antiques Appraisal Day program and fundraising event on Saturday, April 20 from 2-4 p.m. at the Laconia Antiques Center in downtown Laconia. Much like the Antique Road Show people are all so familiar with, participants bring in their items to be appraised by our talented appraisers – Doug McGowan and Linc Fournier – who use the “team” approach to determine a value and share informa-
tion with the audience that is unique to each item. Appraised items should include stoneware, clocks, coins, toys, silver, rugs, jewelry and general antiques. The cost is $5 per appraised item with all proceeds to benefit the Laconia Historical & Museum Society. For more information about Antiques Appraisal Day, contact Laconia Historical and Museum Society at 527-1278, email at www.lhmslpl@metrocast. net or visit online at www.laconiahistorical.org.

MEREDITH — Today both gardeners and food lovers have reason to celebrate as Moulton Farm re-opens for the season. “We’ve been working throughout the winter, but it’s wonderful to start welcoming our customers and seasonal crew back to the farm. Snow drifts don’t talk much,” John Moulton says with a laugh. Work in the farm’s greenhouses and yard has been underway for several weeks. “We’ve been growing plants for customers as well as for use on the farm and our farm kitchen,” notes Moulton. To encourage more people to experience growing their own food, the farm has increased the variety of plants it will be offering and has created a package for beginning gardeners. This also means getting in not only the seeds and supplies for the farm, but also for home gardeners. Moulton and his team have also been preparing for the free gardening workshops the farm will be hosting during opening week in celebration of Earth Day.

On Saturday, April 20, from 10 am to noon, “Varieties and Techniques for a Victorious Harvest” will be the free workshop exploring the pros and cons of various varieties of vegetable plants and seeds as well as techniques for achieving earlier harvests. The workshop will include a preview of the different varieties of plants, including heirloom vegetables, which will be available from the farm’s greenhouses a little later in the planting season. On Monday, April 22, at 6 pm the farm celebrates Earth Day with a workshop on how to grow asparagus, blueberries, and strawberries. “Adding these perennial favorites to a home garden can bring years of delicious eating, but people aren’t too familiar with what needs to be done. It’s one of the gardening skills that are being lost as more and more food comes from other regions and countries,” comments Moulton. “We hope that this free workshop will change that.” More information is available at moultonfarm.com.

Lions Club holding Electronic Waste Collection Day on Saturday
GILFORD — The Lacinia-Gilford Lions Club will be holding an Electronic Waste Collection Day on Saturday, April 20 in the Lowe’s Parking Lot from 9 a.m.– p.m. Got an old computer collecting dust in the closet, or a broken refrigerator sitting on the back porch? What do you do with these items when you replace them? Everything from laptops and phones, to home appliances and TVs cost you a fortune to haul away. Turn that junk over to the Laconia-Gilford Lions Club during their Electronic Waste Collection Day (EWCD) and, for a small disposal fee, not only will they take it off your hands, they will recycle your old electronic items. The small fee charged is less than the local transfer station’s prices. Cash or checks will be accepted but not debit or credit cards. EWCD is a fundraising event for the Laconia-Gilford Lions Club, and the money they raise will go towards funding the many local charities and local youth
activities they support in the area. Bring your electronics to Lowe’s Parking Lot, 1407 Lakeshore Road in Gilford. Following is a list of items you may want to drop off: computer monitors, laptops, CPUs, Servers, CD/DVD players, camcorders, AV equipment,VCRs, speakers, mice or keyboards, copiers, faxes, scanners, printers, phones (land and cell), phone systems, UPS systems, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, cords, cables and computer accessories. In addition, they will also take microwaves, air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, water heaters, washing machines, dryers, gas or electric stoves, dishwashers, dumb terminals, and TVs. Anything with a cord not listed will also be accepted. You cannot drop off: oils, paints, thinners, batteries, tires, items containing mercury such as fluorescent and CFL light bulbs or thermometers, capacitors, ballasts, or any other hazardous waste.

tion may inspire you to change your schedule slightly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You do trust the wisdom of the ages, but even more beneficial is the timely value you find in what specific people tell you. You’ll take to heart the stories and advice of friends and family. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The line between respect and attraction is easily blurred these days. You’ll avoid murky relationships and messy situations when you stay clear about your feelings. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To someone who doesn’t know you very well, it seems like you are all smiles and acceptance. But woe to the one who crosses your lines. After all, what good is a boundary that is not enforced? TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 17). You make a hobby of shocking and impressing people this year. Your ideas are bold. The execution of those ideas is sometimes brilliant; other times, a brilliant fail and a good story. May brings strange luck. June brings the chance to glue broken relationships back together. July features social and professional growth. Aquarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 33, 2 and 15.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You would be wise to extend your personal network, as there are opportunities on the horizon for you that will require you to have greater resources and a wider reach. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You easily sense when people are in need, but it will take more concentration and talent to accurately pinpoint the need and know precisely how you might help. Or, you could just ask! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your strong values are extremely attractive, especially to those around you who could use more structure in their lives. You communicate most powerfully by living your values, not talking about them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you notice that someone needs assistance, you spring into action. In fact, you can’t understand people who don’t notice. But it takes all types in the world, and you’ll observe many of those types in action today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Success in one area of life won’t necessarily translate to success in another, but the basic principles still apply: You have to be willing to go through all the steps and learn what it takes to be masterful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Taking the point of view that you should know something already will only stop you from learning. Better to admit what you don’t know and gather experience than to unnecessarily stumble around in the dark. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your direct and assured action will be necessary. Hesitate, and you’ll lose power. Wait, and it will only get harder and harder to influence the situation. Act now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you really think about it -- and you will today -miracles abound. You believe this because you’ve seen the evidence, and you continue to produce more evidence because you believe it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). How would your life change if you made happiness your No. 1 priority? The answer to that ques-

Yesterday’s Answer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 17, 2013— Page 27
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, April 17, the 107th day of 2013. There are 258 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 17, 1961, some 1,500 CIA-trained Cuban exiles launched the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in an attempt to topple Fidel Castro, whose forces crushed the incursion by the third day. On this date: In 1492, a contract was signed by Christopher Columbus and a representative of Spain’s King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, giving Columbus a commission to seek a westward ocean passage to Asia. In 1521, Martin Luther went before the Diet of Worms (vohrms) to face charges stemming from his religious writings. (He was later declared an outlaw by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.) In 1861, the Virginia State Convention voted to secede from the Union. In 1895, the Treaty of Shimonoseki ended the first Sino-Japanese War. In 1937, the animated cartoon character Daffy Duck made his debut in the Warner Bros. cartoon “Porky’s Duck Hunt,” directed by Tex Avery. In 1941, Yugoslavia surrendered to Germany during World War II. In 1969, a jury in Los Angeles convicted Sirhan Sirhan of assassinating Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. The First Secretary of Czechoslovakia’s Communist Party, Alexander Dubcek (DOOB’-chek), was deposed. In 1970, Apollo 13 astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert splashed down safely in the Pacific, four days after a ruptured oxygen tank crippled their spacecraft while en route to the moon. In 1973, Federal Express (later FedEx) began operations as 14 planes carrying 186 packages took off from Memphis International Airport, bound for 25 U.S. cities. In 1986, at London’s Heathrow Airport, a bomb was discovered in the bag of a pregnant Irishwoman about to board an El Al jetliner to Israel; she’d been tricked into carrying the bomb by her Jordanian fiance. In 1993, a federal jury in Los Angeles convicted two former police officers of violating the civil rights of beaten motorist Rodney King; two other officers were acquitted. Turkish President Turgut Ozal died at age 66. Ten years ago: U.S. special forces in Baghdad captured Barzan Ibrahim Hasan, a half-brother of and adviser to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. The U.S. government awarded Bechtel Corp. a major contract for helping rebuild Iraq’s power, water and sewage systems. Five years ago: Pope Benedict XVI, during his visit to Washington, talked and prayed privately with survivors of the clergy sex abuse scandal in what’s believed to be a first-ever meeting between a pontiff and abuse victims. One year ago: Riding on the back of a 747 jet, retired space shuttle Discovery traveled from Cape Canaveral, Fla., to Chantilly, Va., to be installed in its new home — the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum annex near Washington Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia. Jamie Moyer, at age 49, became the oldest pitcher to ever win a major league contest as the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 5-3.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: We are the future. It may sound cheesy, but that’s the motto I live by, and it’s one of the reasons I believe so strongly in the need to prevent and reduce tobacco use among teens and kids. My passion for tobacco-use prevention started when I saw the harm that tobacco use caused my older sister. She started smoking at age 13 and ended up with an addiction that spiraled out of control, in many ways taking her childhood with it. Every year, tobacco kills more than 400,000 Americans, and the vast majority started smoking as children. Kids are overwhelmed with pressure to smoke, from tobacco industry marketing, their peers, movies and other sources. But we have the power within ourselves to win the fight against tobacco, and I am proud to advocate for policies proven to reduce tobacco use and save lives. To learn more about tobacco-use prevention and to see how you can be a part of the efforts of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, please tell your readers to visit www.tobaccofreekids.org. -- Gabe Glissmeyer, age 19, Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Gabe: Thank you for writing and giving us the opportunity to tell our readers about the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids. The cigarette companies do an excellent job of recruiting new smokers. It’s time for the rest of us to do our part to keep that in check. Dear Annie: I have a speech problem that makes my voice sound hoarse and gravelly, and although people can understand me, some ask, “Where are you from?” (They think I sound like Henry Kissinger.) I usually answer with the name of a local working-class neighborhood where people sound a bit rougher, and sometimes that shuts them up. But more often, they persist in commenting on my “accent.” I find this incredibly rude. Isn’t it wrong to question people like this? It’s none of their
business why I sound this way. My city has a diverse population, and it’s not unusual to hear foreigners. I wouldn’t dream of asking them about their place of origin. The questions are starting to get to me. I was talking on my cellphone on the street, and some guy stopped and asked where I was from. I said “none of your business” and walked away. This guy was horrified by my rudeness. Maybe this is the best thing to say. Any other ideas? -- Native New Yorker Dear New Yorker: You could make up an unlikely response (“I’m from Canada”), but although the question is rude, we don’t think it’s intentionally so. You are sensitive about your voice, but people are curious, and you sound interesting to them. They mistakenly believe they are being friendly. You are not obligated to provide personal information. You can simply respond, “Why do you need to know?” or “I’m sorry, but I don’t like to talk about it,” and keep moving. Dear Annie: I feel for “Lost in the Country,” who has been married 36 years and recently learned that her husband was calling another woman. My wife also will sympathize with her. I was that man. Not only was I calling other women, but I was having sex with them, as well. I also looked at Internet porn. My wife finally caught me and asked me to leave. She guided me toward Sexaholics Anonymous. I totally gave myself to this 12-step program of recovery. SA saved my life and put me on a spiritual path to God. I hurt my wife and children and caused harm to those I was involved with. I cannot make it up completely, but I can continue to make amends wherever possible. My advice to “Lost” is to trust her instincts. Hold him accountable. If he responds with anger, he is hiding something. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. -- Into the Light
