Wife of Texas DA killings suspect confesses
KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — Authorities say the wife of a former judge has confessed to being involved in the shooting deaths of a North Texas district attorney, his wife and an assistant prosecutor. Kim Lene Williams was arrested early Wednesday. Kaufman County sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Justin Lewis says Williams is being charged in all three deaths. Lewis says she is being held on $10 million bond. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Williams told investigators Tuesday that she was involved in the shootings of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife, Cynthia, and one of his prosecutors, Mark Hasse. The investigation has also focused on her husband, Eric Williams, whom McLelland and Hasse successfully prosecuted for theft. The McLellands were found dead March 30, two months after Hasse was slain.

Expanded gun control bills fail to attract enough Senate votes WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans backed by a small band of rural-state Democrats scuttled the most far-reaching gun control legislation in two decades Wednesday, rejecting tighter background checks for buyers and a ban on assault weapons as they spurned pleas from families of victims of last winter’s school massacre in Newtown, Conn. “This effort isn’t over,” President Barack
Obama vowed at the White House moments after the defeat on one of his top domestic priorities. Surrounded by Newtown relatives, he said opponents of the legislation in both parties “caved to the pressure” of special interests. A ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines also fell in a series of showdown votes four months after a gunman killed 20 elementary school children and six staff
members at Sandy Hook Elementary. A bid to loosen restrictions on concealed weapons carried across state lines was rejected, as well. That last vote marked a rare defeat for the National Rifle Association on a day it generally triumphed over Obama, gun control advocates and many of the individuals whose lives have been affected by see GUN CONTROL page 4
Surveillance camera said to have captured image of bomb suspect BOSTON (AP) — In what could be a major break in the Boston Marathon case, investigators are on the hunt for a man seen in a department-store surveillance video dropping off a bag at the site of the bombings, a Boston politician said Wednesday. Separately, a law enforcement official confirmed that authorities have found an image of a potential suspect but don’t know his name. The development — less than 48 hours
after the attack that left three people dead and more than 170 wounded — marked a possible turning point in a case that has investigators analyzing photos and videos frame by frame for clues to who carried out the twin bombings and why. City Council President Stephen Murphy, who said he was briefed by Boston police, said investigators saw the image on surveillance footage they got from a department store near the finish line, and matched the
findings with witness descriptions of someone leaving the scene. “I know it’s very active and very fluid right now — that they are on the chase,” Murphy told The Associated Press. He added: “They may be on the verge of arresting someone, and that’s good.” The bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, see BOMB page 9
N.H. lawmaker says he’s sorry for referring to women as ‘vaginas’
CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire lawmaker apologized Wednesday for referring to women as “vaginas” in an email to his House colleagues during a debate over repealing a law allowing people to use deadly force to defend themselves. “I am embarrassed, to say the least,” wrote state Rep. Peter Hansen, R-Amherst, a day after saying he didn’t regret the remark and
had used the word for shock value. In an email sent April 1, Hansen, who once used his gun to restrain an intruder at his home, referenced a speech given by another lawmaker, who described how he had been able to retreat without using deadly force in public. “There were two critical ingredients missing in the illustrious stories purportMeredith Cinema Meredith Shopping Ctr. • 279-7836 www.barnzs.com Tuesday (4/16) - Thursday (4/18)

Man escapes Gilford apartment fire by jumping from 2nd story deck By RogeR Amsden GILFORD — A man who told dispatchers that he was trapped on the second floor of a burning multi-sue building on Young Road around 6:30 Wednesday then jumped from a deck at the rear of the building to escape from the flames. One of the occupants of the building, who asked that his name not be used, said ‘’He told me that he had been in the shower and that when he came out he could feel the heat from the fire. He called 911 and then went out on the deck and decided to jump because the flames were so intense.’’ Tyler Kupetz, another occupant of the building, said that the man who jumped to safety shares an apartment with him but declined to give his friend’s name. ‘’He was pretty shook up and dazed,’’ said Kupetz, who said that the man, who was the only person in the building when the three-alarm fire broke out, had later sent him a text message saying that he was going to take a walk to get away from the fire scene and calm down. The man, who was barefoot, walked down Young Road and was sitting in a
police cruiser parked at the junction of where Cotton Hill Road turns into Young Road, and said he did not wish to talk about his escape at that time. The fire virtually gutted the second floor of the building, a large structure with a two-bay garage and a workshop area with a 20-foot high ceiling on the first floor and living quarters on the second and third floors. The building is owned by James Cookman Jr., who runs a construction business and left last week for a twoweek vacation in Florida. His parents, Jim and Judy Cookman of Dockham Shore Road, Gilford, said that they were in touch with their son who was very upset about the fire but glad that no one was injured. Cookman drove a small farm tractor out of the workshop area after firefighters had brought the fire under control. One of the occupants of the building, whom lived on the third floor, said that it appeared that the fire may have started in a kitchen area on the second floor and spread rapidly towards the rear of the building, where the deck is located. Damage was heaviest on the southern and western sides of the building, where the roof and wrap-around deck

were heavily damaged and the heat of the fire melted siding. A cat was rescued from the building and given oxygen by firefighters before
being taken to a shelter for the night. Fire Chief Steve Carrier was still at the scene at press time last night and unavailable for comment.
Gun control advocates, including Obama, had voiced high hopes for significant action after the Newtown shootings. But the lineup of possible legislation gradually dwindled to a focus on background checks, and in the end even that could not win Senate passage.
Chances in the Republican-controlled House had seemed even slimmer. By agreement of Senate leaders, a 60-vote majority was required for approval of any of the provisions brought to a vote. see next page

PSU converting to natural gas, expects to save $500k per year
PLYMOUTH — Xpress Natural Gas (XNG) of Boston and Plymouth State University on Wednesday announced they are under agreement to convert the university from oil to natural gas service starting this fall. XNG will use its compressed natural gas technology to provide trucked natural gas service to the university heating plant. By converting to natural gas, Plymouth State estimates it will save the university approximately $500,000 annually. The project has an estimated payback of just one year. By working with XNG and converting to a compressed natural gas (CNG) system, Plymouth State expects to lower its carbon emissions relating to heating fuel by 32 percent, or a projected 2,800 tons of carbon per year. The impact will be felt across the entire campus as it reduces the total carbon footprint and overall carbon emissions by nearly 13 percent. The PSU central heating plant provides heat and hot water to 42 separate educational buildings representing more than 1.2 million square feet of classroom, residential and office space. “We were motivated by the substantial environmental benefits and cost savings/avoidance this change will have for the university” said Stephen Taksar, vice president for Finance and Administration. “A crossfunctional team made up of PSU faculty, staff and engineering resources did an extensive review and analysis of alternatives, and we are pleased to select XNG as our partner. We want to lead by example, and this project is consistent with the direction we want to go as a university. This is another major step in our effort to be carbon neutral.” About the partnership, president of XNG, John Nahill said: “We’re thrilled to work with Plymouth State as they take a significant step forward using a cleaner, lower cost fuel that is better for the environment. This project is exactly the kind of collaboration we look for with our customers. We are excited to have the support of the faculty, staff and student body, and we firmly believe this is a win-win for everyone.”

LAWMAKER from page 2 to similar situations where children and women and mothers are the potential victims,” Hansen wrote, according to messages posted online this week by liberal blogger Susan Bruce. Other lawmakers, NARAL-Pro Choice New Hampshire and state GOP Chairwoman Jennifer Horn were among those saying the remark debased women. NARAL called on him to resign. “These comments are repugnant and unbecoming of an elected official,” said House Republican Leader Gene Chandler of Bartlett. “They have no place in public discourse. Rep. Hansen’s comments in no way reflect the opinions of House Republicans or the Republican Party. Rep. Hansen should apologize immediately.” Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan said Wednesday that
she was disappointed in the language Hansen used. “I think it offends and takes us away from the important task of making sure we debate with civility,” she said. Hansen, 70, said Tuesday that he didn’t regret the remark and that critics don’t understand the context. “My point in the choice of words was twofold: One was shock content and the other was to try to get into the mind of the perpetrator,” Hansen told The Telegraph of Nashua. “This is something that has been totally blown out of proportion.” On Wednesday, he apologized to his constituents, colleagues and women for the “blatantly offensive, insensitive, and frankly, stupid language” he used. He said the deadly force law “is an especially personal issue for reasons you all know.”

Hitting home I’m from Boston. Over the years, I lived in two apartments within a stone’s throw of Monday’s bombings. Over the years, I stood and cheered marathon runners countless times. I know every square inch of the area in all the pictures, which is hardly unusual. It’s the center of Boston. My nephew was around the corner when the explosions went off. This week’s terror hit home for me. And what to do? That is always the question. Do you stop going to sporting events? Cultural events? Outdoor rallies? I was raped around the corner from where the bombs hit. I did not stop going out, didn’t quit my job working nights as a bartender. (I was raped during the day, anyway.) I was determined not to let the crazies run my life. I was younger then. An even harder question: What do we want the government to do? How much of our liberty and privacy are we willing to give up in the hopes that it might stop terror? My answer to that now is also different from what it would have been in the days when I lived around the corner from the bombings. Maybe it’s because I’m older. Maybe it’s because I’m a mother. Or maybe, probably mostly, it’s because of the horrors we have seen. The two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11 took off that morning from Boston (my old home) en route to Los Angeles (my current home). Until my children were born, I commuted on those flights from Boston to LA. So this is my answer: I’d give up a lot. You want to put cameras on every corner? Fine with me. I don’t care who pats me down at the airport. Pat away. Keep the confidences of my clients, but otherwise, my e-mail is an open book. Mine my data; listen to my conversations. If it will keep my children safe, I don’t care. But of course, that’s not the question, either. I’m a middle-aged, welldressed (mostly), respectable-looking white woman. No one is really interested in me, terrorism-wise. So when I ask myself or my students how much liberty we’re willing to give up, I’m not really asking about us.
I’m asking about “others” — and we all know which others I mean. As I write this, Monday night, I would not want to be a Muslim going through security at Logan Airport. Just for instance. And I don’t blame the TSA if they pay more careful attention. I just want the planes to take off and land. I ask my students: If there are two security lines at the airport, and one has three white businessmen about to whisk off their jackets, and the other has three Muslim men, which line do you join? I know what I would do. Is that racist? Are we? As I write this, we don’t know who planted the bombs that tore off limbs, took innocent lives, disrupted a race that celebrates “Patriots Day” every year, a race where this year the 26th mile was dedicated to the 26 who died in Newtown. But the media are reporting that a Saudi student was being questioned after the bombings because of his proximity, the nature of his injuries and, yes, his nationality. Racist? How do you avoid being a racist when you’re afraid? How do you avoid offering up your privacy and liberty — or, more likely, someone else’s — when you are terrified of terror? How do you maintain a free society when you see limbs flying? It’s true these events are rare. It’s true that, compared to other countries, we are indeed remarkably free and safe. And perhaps we also are spoiled to believe that in this day and age we can have it all: freedom and safety, privacy and security, not to mention equality. When I was a kid, we worried about the Russians. We practiced going to the basement of the school in case of a nuclear attack. How odd to see those as less terrifying days — and to long for them. I hope the Saudi man had nothing to do with it. I hope the culprits, when they are found, will not add to our collective terror of “others.” I hope this will not be a case that makes us even more afraid of those who are different from us, even though 99.9 percent of them mean us no harm. I hope.

LETTERS Education Tax Credit Program clearly violates N.H. Constitution To the editor, Over the past few months I’ve heard from a number of people in regards to the Education Tax Credit program and the efforts to repeal this program by enacting HB-370. I refrained from taking a position on HB-370 until I’d had the opportunity to study the original legislation and the current status of the program. I also attended committee hearings and spoke with people on both sides of this issue. I’ve been particularly impressed with the young people who’ve testified about their desire to get the best education they can. As a result, I intend to support HB-370. I have grave concerns about the constitutionality of the Education Tax Credit program, the administration of the program, the overall effect this program will have on public education, and impact it would have on local property taxpayers. It’s my belief that our nation’s public education system is one of America’s greatest resources. Public education strengthens our democracy and provides a gateway for millions of children to achieve their full potential. As a graduate of public high school and public university, I know how important a public education is to opening a world of opportunity. It’s also clear that in an increasingly competitive global economy and the increasing challenges being presented to our professional educators, our public education system must be flexible, efficient, and accountable. Finding ways to strengthen public education by wisely investing in students’ success is vital to continuing our nation’s tradition of educational excellence. Currently the Education Tax Credit program is being challenged in court based on constitutional grounds. Specifically the case challenges the use public money — our tax dollars — for
religious education. During the hearings before the Senate Health and Education Committee, it was made clear that these tax credits would be used for religious education. On its face, the Education Tax Credit program is clearly in conflict with the New Hampshire Constitution. When government allocates your tax dollars, I believe transparency and accountability are a must. Unfortunately, the group hired to operate the education voucher program, the Network for Educational Opportunity, does not meet that standard. It’s a shadowy, out of state group, that’s managed by people who have a political agenda that focuses on undermining public education. Unlike groups such as the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA), NEO does not inspire confidence and until they do so I will continue to be opposed to their managing public funds. What has also been made clear from speaking with educators, parents, and students is that this education voucher plan doesn’t improve our public education system. This bill shifts limited state funds away from public school districts that need it to educate our children. Those costs are either downshifted to property tax payers or they result in education cuts at our local schools. Neither of those are acceptable outcomes to me. Our public education system is not perfect. It needs to adapt to a changing world. But scrapping it is not an option I support. The best way to serve our children, strengthen our economy, and protect our New Hampshire way of life is to invest in our public schools — not destroy them. Sen. Andrew Hosmer N.H.

LETTERS Laws didn’t stop Newtown killer; he violated dozens of them
Do not write the obituary for our Year-Round Library just yet
To the editor, Dear Senator Ayotte: My letter is inspired by David B. Hart’s letter to you in Friday’s The Citizen of Laconia. Apparently thinking you were unaware, Hart told you that the Senate will soon consider “common sense limitations on gun violence” which he apparently thinks would have avoided the Newtown massacre. The Newtown killer violated dozens of laws, murder, theft, assault, breaking and entering, child endangerment, and many others. Apparently Hart believes that if there had been more laws, the Newtown killer would have thought, “Rats, now I’d be breaking 91 laws and it would be wrong to break more than 88 laws. I guess I’ll have to stay home.” While that makes no sense to me, Hart is right that we need laws to protect us from one another. We should have laws against harming others, e.g., theft, kidnapping, rape, and murder. Why didn’t anyone think of this before? Most of America’s crime occurs in cities headed by liberals. The problem, apparently, is that no one told the mayors that to reduce crime, they need to enforce the laws. Someone also needs to remind the Obama administration about law enforcement, federal gun crime prosecutions are down by almost half. A cynic, or someone listening to liberal politicians, might think that liberal politicians care less about stopping gun violence than about having an excuse to take further steps towards
To the editor, Dear Gilmanton Readers: Do not write the obituary yet. I love and support our library, GY-RL, the library in the barn. It took some 10 years to put together this fantastic institution, a full service public library that serves all, from the least of the least. I thank all the people who donated ideas, time, goods, services, and money to provide this gem in Gimanton’s crown. It enriches the lives of many who use its services and by its very being improves property values and makes our town a more desirable place in which to live. I think the phrase “if you build it, they will come” is an apt description of what has happened since the opening in September of 2009. Reading the Town Report I learned the average monthly circulation is eleven hundred and there is an average number of seven hundred library visits each month. Now comes the sad fact which you
their gun confiscation goal. Hart is right, we all share the pain of Newtown. More painfully, we all share the guilt for Newtown. Our continued toleration of “Gun Free Zones”, which have prevented zero murders, shows a vile disregard for the lives of thousands of defenseless victims. I know that politicians like to hear themselves talk, but, if it’s the justification for new laws, why is the Senate debating laws that wouldn’t have prevented the Newtown massacre? Liberal proposals won’t make the streets safe, they will only make the streets safer for criminals. The proposed gun controls will only interfere with law-abiding citizens being able to protect themselves, creating more defenseless victims. Why is it so difficult for politicians to do things that actually make law-abiding people safer? Please Senator Ayotte, do the right thing. Misguided grieving parents don’t justify passing the immoral and counter-productive proposals of your liberal colleagues. Vote for laws that reliably punish criminals, not laws that turn citizens, who don’t harm anyone, into criminals. Pass laws that protect us from people who have been adjudicated as dangerously mentally ill, not laws that make people who feel stressed or have trouble sleeping defenseless. Pass laws that make crime more dangerous for criminals, not for their intended victims. Don Ewing Meredith
We owe these 4 hard working state reps a huge thank you To the editor, Belknap County residents have much to be proud of given the scope of work and expertise among our Belknap County House delegation. Rep. David Huot (Laconia) has been named by the Speaker of the House to chair the Regulations Subcommittee which will study the bidding process, oversight, accountability and potential rule enforcement for any casino in N.H. as proposed by SB-152. The Speaker has promised a “thorough and transparent process” by which the casino proposal will be reviewed and Rep. Huot is an excellent choice to be a leader in that process. Rep. Lisa DiMartino (Gilford and Meredith) has been named as a member of the Long Term Care Subcommittee of the House Human Services Oversight Committee, reflecting her knowledge and expertise in the field of long term care service delivery. This subcommittee is working closely with the Department of Health and Human Services as managed care is implemented and the expansion of Medicaid is discussed.
Rep. Ian Raymond (Sanbornton and Tilton) gave the introductory remarks on Sunday at the Local Energy Solutions annual conference held at Winnisquam High School which was key noted by Governor Maggie Hassan. Rep. Raymond brings his extensive knowledge in this field to his position on the House Science and Technology Committee as well. Rep. Beth Arsenault (Laconia and Belmont) joined her mother, former Rep. Judie Reever, in a public discussion of the legislation currently under consideration by the N.H. Senate to repeal the education voucher statute. Rep. Arsenault and former Rep. Reever were seeking signatures for a petition urging the repeal of the education tax law by supporting HB-370 in the Senate. These state reps donate their time and expertise to our state in order to develop policy and statutes that benefit us all. We owe them a huge thanks for all the work they do. Kate Miller Meredith
and I who love and use this library must remedy. Yes, we are in trouble. With a loss by 80 votes,the partial funding needed ($45,000) to keep the library open and staffed for the year is not available. We learned that the doors would close by November this year. There will be a number of fundraising events. Please attend and enjoy. However, that fundraising alone will not be enough. The sure thing that will keep our library from being mothballed, that will keep those doors open to the public is going to monetary donations. I am giving what I can. Please give what you can. Because the Gilmanton Year Round Library Association is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization your donations are tax deductible. I look forward to seeing your at our library and long after November 1, 2013. Brenda McBride Gilmanton Iron-Works
I assume Polidoro was not referring to winner of the marathon To the editor, On the afternoon of April 17, as I read Jack Polidoro’s poem, I actually quite liked it, sorrowfully empathizing with his sentiments about this latest Boston Massacre. That is, until I got to the next to last stanza, where Jack revealed his true agenda. And I quote, “You selfish, simplistic, bastard of evil — Was it the taxes, anarchy, hatred for the black winner, America — What? So Jack, as I sit this afternoon watching news reporters contradicting themselves about whether a suspect has or has not been arrested, let me make one likely assumption. While we don’t know this person’s evil agenda yet, I’m betting he hated this country rather than this country’s president, as you suggest. I’m assuming you weren’t referring to the marathon winner. Can I also assume by “anarchist”, you were
not referring to a “left wing” anarchist. Like the ones who tried to blow up the 2008 GOP convention in Minnesota. Or the violent elements of the Occupy Wall Street movement where an activist affiliated party tried to blow up a bridge in Cleveland and others where arrested for possessing high explosives. I wonder if Jack made the “taxes” reference after hearing presidential senior advisor, David Axelrod and Democratic representative William Keating. The two liberal types who made the insinuation that since this occurred on “Tax Day”, that may be the logical motivation for this atrocity. The Heritage Foundation reported that there have been 40 foiled terrorist plots in the United States since 2001. Even though most of them were would-be Islamist backed terrorist see next page

Ice out declared at 6:53 a.m. Wednesday
GILFORD — Dave Emerson of Emerson Aviation at the Laconia Municipal Airport declared official ice-out on Lake Winnipesaukee at 6:53 a.m. Wednesday. ‘’The last ice was in Wolfeboro Bay and you could see it break up sort of like ice cubes melting in a drink,’ said Emerson, who has been the lake’s official iceout observer for about a dozen years. He had predicted Tuesday afternoon after flying over the lake that ice-out would take place within the next 12 to
24 hours. The ice-out came 24 days later than last year, when ice-out was declared on March 23, the earliest date ever. Ice-out records have been kept ever since 1888, when the ice went out on May 12, the latest date ever. ‘’It’s right on schedule this year. It usually goes out the third week of April,’’ said Emerson, who said that the lake temperature is about 40 degrees. It was the seventh time that ice-out see ICE OUT page 9
FORGE from page one Connecticut, she tagged along with her older brothers, playing baseball, stickball and pickle, then serving as the bat girl for their teams. “Everything, my whole life, has been sports,” she said. Forge attended Plymouth State College (now Plymouth State University) in the era prior to Title IX, competing in lacrosse, nordic skiing and gymnastics, mostly because there were so few choices for female athletes prior to the landmark legislation that mandated equality in athletics. Because of her success on her collegiate teams, and her career subsequent, she’s included in PSU’s Hall of Fame. Forge got her first taste of coaching in the Inter-Lakes District, where she did her student teaching, mentored by long-time coach and athletic director Anne Galligan. In 1977, after graduating, Forge was hired as physical education teacher at Ashland High School, where she also coached basketball and softball for seven years. Her record at Ashland was 60 wins, 64 losses in basketball, and 91-26 in softball. She also took her softball team to a state championship in 1983. In 1984, Forge was recruited to take a physical education position in Gilford. Although she was settled in Ashland, she was lured away by the opportunity to start a girls’ soccer team. However, between the time that offer was extended and soccer season rlled around, that decision was reversed and Forge found herself coaching softball and, a sport she had little knowledge of, volleyball. “I was like, uh, do I have a choice? They said no. Little did I know that it would turn into a dynasty.” Gilford has long since added a girls’ soccer team, however, Forge quickly became so invested in the volleyball program that she wouldn’t consider leaving it. Despite her lack of initial expertise in volleyball, Forge has found remarkable success, compiling
a record of 464-64 in Gilford, a run that has included 14 championships and a state record of nine consecutive titles, from 1999 through 2007. Her tenure as Gilford softball coach hasn’t been too bad, either, as her record of 385-164 indicates. Including her time in Ashland, she’s been to six softball championships and won half of those games. Referring to her championship games, Forge said, “I still can’t believe that. Coaches coach for different reasons, championships are like the icing on the cake.” Despite her impressive statistics, Forge said it isn’t the championships, or even the wins, that keep her coming back to coaching. “It’s a rewarding profession because you’re making a difference in the lives of student athletes. I’m very passionate about watching them grow. We’re just going to do everything we can to improve and be successful.” Her joy in coaching doesn’t end with the last game of the season. As much as she enjoys the championships, she also relishes watching her athletes grow into successful adults, some of whom have tried their own hand at coaching. Though winning 1,000 games is a rare accomplishment, Forge deflects responsibility for the figure. “It’s not me that wins the game, it’s the players. The athletes I coached have 1,000 victories... I’ve been blessed to have talented athletes who have the will to improve.” Even at the end of long practices, she said, her players continue to show the desire to reach a higher level of performance. “The kids are like, coach, we want to win this year. They’re driven athletes, it’s really about them.” For Forge, she’s happy to be on the edge of the playing field, cheering them on to yet greater heights. “Coaching is my passion. If I could be anywhere, at any time, I would be coaching.”
from preceding page groups, the liberal media and politicians impulsively jumped to specious conclusions about some right wing extremist group as the evil conspirators, which almost always ended up being completely spurious in nature. Undaunted by facts and history, Chis Matthews, famed MSNBC news anchor, falsely blurted out the following, “Normally, domestic terrorists, people tend to be on the far right”. We know that far right bloggers say off the wall stuff about the left, but I would hope that Fox News, reliable conservative websites and Republicans have refrained from making false claims against the left after a terrorist attack or murdering spree. Something that the mainstream
media and some Democrats have no compunction with making against the right, time and time again. Sad to say Jack, you really blew your chance at lyrical splendor. You wrote a poem of some import that appeared to be heart felt and I have no doubt that it was. But then you opted for the Rahm Emanuel, “never let a serious crisis go to waste” mantra by slipping in your tasteless slam against conservatives. I suppose it may be hard to avoid falling into this sort of liberal trap when you have such rotten role models. I suppose you could blame it on them. That would be the progressive way. Russ Wiles Tilton
BARBS from page one tive Beth Arsenault of Laconia — and one Republican — Guy Comtois of Barnstead — were absent. The decision followed close on the heels of a meeting of the Executive Committee of the convention, which confirmed that the commission has shuffled money within departmental budgets to fund employee benefits the convention stripped from the 2013 budget as well as withdrawn funds from the contingency account without the approval of the committee. Throughout the budget process the convention and the commission quarreled over their respective authority to allocate funds within various departments and functions. The Republican majority has insisted that the convention possesses the authority to rewrite the budget proposed by the commission by adding or deleting, raising or lowering appropriations for particular line items. In the course of managing the budget, the commission may only move funds between lines with the approval of the executive committee of the convention. Worsman told the convention that the commission has no intention of confining expenditures to line item appropriations prescribed by the convention. “It has become quite clear that unless we settle this issue, we will have created a situation that will never be resolved.” She said that she had approached the Attorney General, who declined to represent the convention, and spoken with a number of private attorneys and state representatives, one of whom recommended attorney David Horan of Manchester. Horan, a former assistant attorney general and assistant Hillsborough County attorney, she said, told her that there was “no real question about the authority of the convention to approve all transfers among line items.” She said that he was willing to represent the convention. Raymond, recalling that the authority to retain and pay legal counsel to represent the county is vested with the commission, asked “who will pay him?” Worsman replied that $10,000 has been appropriated for legal expenses and there are legal means of compelling the commissioners to pay the bill, an apparent reference to a so-called “writ of mandamus,” or court order requiring a public official to do his duty. “It is the responsibility of the county to pay the fee of an attorney representing the convention,” she said. The prospect of the convention and commission dueling in court arose after another stormy meeting at which members of the Executive Committee again charged the commission and administration of obscuring expenses. As requested by the committee, Finance Director Glen Waring presented a report of miscellaneous revenues collected in 2012 together with expenditures for training and housekeeping for the same year. Tilton, who chairs the committee, was dissatisfied with the level of detail, insisting that along with the cost and purpose of the expenditures the report should identify the venues and content of conferences and workshops attended by county employees. Worsman asked that each expense be accompanied by an explanation of how the training benefitted the taxpayers. Commissioner Steve Nedeau (R-Meredith) explained that each week the com-
mission reviews a stack of invoices before authorizing the expenditures. When Tilton persisted Nedeau told him “If you want that kind of information, you should have been a county commissioner.” Knowing that lost his bid for the commission to Commissioner Ed Philpot (D-Laconia) in 2010, Nedeau added “But that didn’t work out for you, did it?” Cormier stressed that the convention was elected to represent and protect the taxpayers and wondered why its questions were met with “angry commissioners and a defiant administration.” She insisted that the questioning was not disrespectful or intended to disparage the commission. Her remarks prompted Commissioner John Thomas (R-Belmont) to refer to a letter harshly critical of the work of the commission printed in local newspapers over Worsman’s signature. When the committee turned to the first quarter expenditures of the 2013 budget Tilton noted that the commission withdrew money from the contingency “fund” without the express permission of the Executive Committee, County Administrator Deb Shackett said that the county does not have a contingency “fund”, but simply an contingency “account” in its budget. “This is a contingency fund. There is illegal activity here,” said Worsman. “You wonder why we’re angry, when you say things like that,” Thomas replied. “You deserve it,” countered Worsman. “Do you want to take that on, lady?” asked Thomas. After the Executive Committee meeting, the full convention convened to consider the commission’s request for a supplemental appropriation of $200,000 to increase the capacity of the nursing home to accept Medicare patients and provide skilled services, which are projected to generate $400,000 in revenue. Mathew Logue, director of the nursing home, explained that Medicare pays 14-percent above cost for occupational, physical and speech therapy as well as pharmaceuticals laboratory work and X-rays. In the past, less than 4 percent of nursing home residents have been Medicare patients. In the first three months of this year the proportion has risen to nearly ten-percent, representing $106,000 of revenue in January, $105,000 in February and $134,000 in March. Logue said that because the average stay of Medicare patients is about 30 days, they can be admitted without unduly restricting capacity for residents on Medicaid. Currently Medicaid resident occupy 65 of the 94 beds while 9 are occupied by Medicare patients and 6 by private paying residents. Stressing that the role of the nursing home is to care for those who have no alternative, Logue emphasized that “nobody is being turned away,” noting that the home has been 95 percent occupied since January. Since the number of Medicare patients was already rising, Logue told the convention that without the supplemental appropriation the program would have to be curtailed for lack of sufficient funding in the budget. Worsman said that she was reluctant to authorize a supplemental appropriation. “To give the commission $200,000 to move around makes me very uneasy.” But, Flanders said “we should maxisee next page
Police say intruder found hiding under bed in Lakeport home
LACONIA — After reports of a possible burglary in progress, a 24-yearold woman with no known address was found by police hiding under a bed in a Lakeport home Wednesday. Mackenzie R. Seely now faces charges of criminal trespass, resisting arrest and also has warrants outstanding against her that originated with Meredith police. Seely is being held in the Belknap County Jail in lieu of $1,000 cash bail. She is scheduled to appear in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning at 8:30. According to a police report, officers responded to 19 Appleton Street at 1:18 p.m. and found a broken window at the rear of the home. Because a car reported stolen in Meredith was parked nearby it was believed the intruder was still
inside. After the house had been surrounded by officers, the resident informed police that he had received a text message from Seely asking him to tell police the house was Mackenzie R. Seely empty. (Laconia Police photo) Police say they placed calls to Seely’s cell in an attempt to get her to come out of the house but that effort failed. Supplied with a key, officers entered the house and found Seeley hiding under the bed in the master bedroom. She was apprehended without incident.
BOMBS from page 2 investigators and others close to the case said. Investigators suspect the devices were then hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground. As a result, they were looking for images of someone lugging a dark, heavy bag. One department store video “has confirmed that a suspect is seen dropping a bag near the point of the second explosion and heading off,” Murphy said. A law enforcement official who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity and was not authorized to discuss the case publicly confirmed only that investigators had an image of a potential suspect whose name was not known to them and who had not been questioned. The turn of events came with Boston in a state of high excitement over conflicting reports of a breakthrough. A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told the AP around midday that a suspect was in custody. The official, who was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the suspect was expected in federal court. But the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston said no arrests had been made. By nightfall, there was no evidence anyone was in custody. No one was brought to court. The law enforcement official, who had affirmed there was a suspect in custody even after federal officials denied it, was unable to obtain any further information or explanation. At least 14 patients remained in critical condition. Dozens of patients have been released from hospitals around the Boston area, and officials at three hospitals that treated some of the most seriously injured said they expect all their remaining patients to survive. On Wednesday, investigators in white jumpsuits fanned out across the streets, rooftops and awnings around
the blast site in search of clues. They picked through trash cans, plastic cup sleeves and discarded sports drink dispensers Boston remained under a heavy security presence, and some people admitted they were nervous about moving about in public spaces. Tyler King, a personal trainer from Attleboro who works in Boston, said four of five clients canceled on him a day earlier because they were worried about venturing into the city. He took the train in, but “I kind of kept my head on a swivel.” Kenya Nadry, a website designer, took her 5-year-old nephew to a playground. “There’s still some sense of fear, but I feel like Boston’s resilient,” she said. “The fine men in blue will take care of a lot of it.” Police were stationed on street corners across downtown Boston, while National Guardsmen set up tents on the Boston Common and stationed tactical vehicles.

ICE OUT from page 8 has been declared on April 17. Other years in which the ice went out on that date were 1913,1922,1938, 1974, 1976 and 1996. The most frequent ice-out date is April 20 which has happened 11 times. The ice has gone out nine times on April 24, eight times on April 23 and seven times on April 25. In the 1970s, the late William Widger of Biospheric Consultants International, which was then based in Meredith, calculated that the average ice out date up until that decade was April 22. Ice-out traditionally marks the start of the boating season Lake Winnipesaukee.

Hassan lawyer tells lawmakers $80M casino license not necessarily for life CONCORD (AP) — Gov. Maggie Hassan’s lawyer assured a special joint House panel Wednesday that a license to operate a casino in New Hampshire would not necessarily be for life. Lucy Hodder told the House Finance and Ways and Means committees that a Senate bill legalizing a casino calls for the initial license to be good for 10 years and can be renewed after that for another five years. Hodder said the license can be revoked for cause. She said the Lottery Commission, which would regulate the casino, also could decide not to
renew the license. The joint panel is working on a bill that passed the Senate last month that would legalize one casino with up to 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games. It heard presentations Wednesday on the technical aspects of the proposal as well as projections of possible income if it is approved. Hodder’s response came in answer to a question from state Rep. Neal Kurk, a Finance Committee member, who wanted to know if the state would be locked into the terms of the license, including the
from preceding page injuries, their spirits were not broken,” he said. “And I think that should probably be the message for all of us — that this horrible act of terror will not bring us down.” President Barack Obama planned to visit Boston on
Thursday to attend a service honoring the victims. The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston and 29-year-old Krystle Campbell of Medford, Mass. The Shenyang Evening News, a state-run Chinese newspaper, identified the third victim as Lu Lingzi, a graduate student at Boston University.

amount a casino would pay the state and communities. The bill calls for the state to get 25 percent of the net video lottery income after prizes are awarded. Another 5 percent would be divided among the host community, abutting towns and into a fund to treat people addicted to gambling. “This is essentially a license forever if the licensee follows the rules,” said Kurk, R-Weare. Hodder said the state might be sued if it revoked a license without good reason, but the Lottery Commission would have plenty of latitude to judge if a licensee was complying with the requirements laid out when the license was issued. She said the state could change the terms of the license such as the payments to the state, but Kurk later said that would have to be spelled out in the law to avoid challenges. Charles McIntyre, the commission’s executive director, said he has spoken with five potential applicants if New Hampshire legalizes a casino. He declined to name them, but three are well known: Millennium Gaming, which has an option to buy Rockingham Park race track in Salem; Greenmeadow Golf Club in Hudson; and New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. Critics complain the bill is tailored to the Salem track, but bill sponsors insist the application process would be open. Hassan is urging the House to pass the bill — though the House has never endorsed casino legislation. Hassan argues the non-tax revenue is needed for vital state spending, but opponents say the money isn’t worth the crime and social costs that come with a casino. Steve Norton, executive director of the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies, told the joint panel Wednesday a casino on New Hampshire’s southern border most likely would compete with one at Suffolk Downs in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is preparing to license three resort casinos and one slots parlor. Norton said if a New Hampshire casino competes with one in Massachusetts, the net state benefit after accounting for social costs could be a loss of $2 million. He based his estimate on New Hampshire licensing a medium-sized casino based on the minimum capital investment required in the Senate bill and having 3,000 video slot machines. Norton said if New Hampshire does not license a casino, the net impact in lost revenues and social costs would be $75 million. McIntyre said the $425 million required capital investment in the bill is a minimum amount. He predicted applications for a license would be for higher amounts due to the competition for casinos in the region. Andy Lietz, who chaired a gambling study under former Gov. John Lynch in 2010, urged the panel to tread cautiously. He said the study done under Lynch determined that a strong regulatory structure needed to be in place prior to approving a casino. “This should not be a discussion about a budget but about public policy over the long term,” he said. The joint House panel is forming three subcommittees to look at regulations, projected revenue and the impact on communities and the state.

LRGHealthcare’s new machines don’t get tired doing CPR
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 18, 2013— Page 11
By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A training session was held at Lakes Region General Hospital Wednesday afternoon for local EMT providers and emergency room staffers on how to use the new LUCAS chest compression units which were recently purchased for the hospital with proceeds from the annual Red Dress Gala. Eight units were bought at a cost of around $100,000 and will be used in emergency departments at Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Regional Hospital as well as on several local ambulances. ‘’These are real life savers,’’ said Laconia LRGH Emergency Services Coordinator Josh McCabe, Laconia Firefighter-EMT Jay Ellingson and Fire Department Deputy Deputy Chief Shawn Riley of the Laconia Fire Department demonstrate how the new LUCAS chest Chief Shawn Riley, who compression unit works.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Their minds more at ease after two harrowing days, the Red Sox won again. Converted closer Alfredo Aceves coasted through five innings, Mike Napoli and Daniel Nava drove in two runs apiece and the Red Sox, bonded by the tragedy in Boston, struck quickly against Justin Masterson and beat the Cleveland Indians 6-3 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight win. After Boston’s bullpen closed the game with four perfect innings, there was music again in the clubhouse and players gobbled down their postgame meals while watching NBA and MLB games on TVs. Finally, the horrific images aren’t everywhere. And in the middle of the room, the “617 Boston Strong” jersey hung for all to see. “A good all-around game,” manager John Farrell said. “A very good game.” Aceves (1-0), who began the season as a reliever after serving as Boston’s primary closer in 2012, took a shutout into the sixth before giving up three runs. Andrew Bailey, filling in for injured closer Joel Hanrahan, worked the ninth for his first save. Napoli had an RBI single in the first when the Red Sox scored three off Masterson (3-1), who has already
beaten two Cy Young Award winners this season and came in without allowing a run in 19 straight innings. Nick Swisher and Jason Giambi homered for the Indians, who dropped their third in a row. The Red Sox hung the gray “617” jersey in their dugout, just as they did for Tuesday’s emotional series opener — one day after the deadly marathon bombings back home. The jersey, featuring Boston’s area code, has become a symbol of unity for the club, which will be back at Fenway Park on Friday to open a 10-game homestand. Shane Victorino, Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Carp had three hits apiece as the Red Sox built Aceves a 5-0 lead. Boston’s bullpen did its job, retiring all 12 Cleveland batters in a row with eight strikeouts. Junichi Tazawa struck out four in two innings, Koji Uehara worked a perfect eighth and Bailey had a 1-2-3 ninth. “The two innings by Taz were probably the difference in the ballgame,” said Farrell, who couldn’t have asked for more from his relievers. “Good stuff, a lot of strikes.” The Indians weren’t at full speed. Center fielder Michael Bourn went on the disabled list and second baseman Jason Kipnis missed his fourth game in a row with a sore elbow.
from preceding page 4th Circuit Court Laconia Division on Tuesday. Earlier the court set bail on other felonies at $6,000. He is scheduled to appear in court for a probable cause hearing on the most recent charge on May 6. According to the affidavit of Detective Chris Noyes, Vachon was arrested for driving while intoxicated, his third offense, on March 23 after he was found driving erratically and slowly on Elm Street in Lakeport. While taking inventory of his vehicle, police found two handguns, one under the steering column among the electronics and another in a backpack on the rear seat, along with an empty magazine. The handgun in the backpack was a Kel-Tec 9 mm. with the serial number RE872. Five days later, on March 28, Noyes learned from the Belmont Police Department that a resident reported the theft of a Kel-Tec 9 mm. with a serial number matching that of the handgun found in Vachon’s vehicle, from his home. The resident told police that he offered Vachon and Fralic a
place to stay when the pair said they were homeless. Later the resident said that he from a friend, who also knows Vachon and Fralic, that Vachon was heard bragging about having taken the 9mm pistol. The affidavit notes that on March 18, Laconia Police took a report from a woman, originally filed with Meredith Police, alleging that amid an argument with Vachon at Leavitt Park earlier that month he brandished a .38 caliber revolver. She said that she did not feel safe around, who she thought was “losing his mind.” That same month Detective Corporal John Eichorn of the Meredith Police advised Noyes that he suspected Vachon, who is a convicted felon, was carrying a 9 mm. handgun. Vachon was convicted of theft in 2003 and first degree assault and possession of weapon while committing a crime in 2004 along with driving while intoxicated in 2005 and 2007. He is currently subject to a restraining order, which prohibits him from carrying or purchasing a firearm.

AARP and Small Business Administration team up to offer April 25 forum for aspiring entrepreneurs LACONIA — AARP and Small Business Administration (SBA) have teamed up to offer an Encore Entrepreneur Forum to teach Granite Staters the first steps in starting their own small business on Thursday, April 25 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Taylor Community’s Woodside Building. Research from the Labor Department finds that one in four Americans between the ages of 44 and 70 are interested in starting their own business or nonprofit venture in the next five to 10 years. And an AARP survey of those 50 and older in New Hampshire shows that work plans at traditional retirement age are changing and only 13% plan to retire
and never return to work. These forums will help potential business owners become confident they have addressed questions of finance, planning and market analysis before investing their time, energy and personal funds in pursuit of their dream of small business ownership. Register at http://aarp.cvent.com/nhentrepreneurforumnlaconia. Events are free but registration is required. Participants do not need to be an AARP member nor over the age of 50. For specific questions, contact Hugh Curley @ hugh.curley@sba.gov, 225-1402.

Patrick’s Pub & Eatery to hold 16th Annual Ice-Out Contest for Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice GILFORD — The annual ice-out on Lake Winnipesaukee may have just been called, however, there’s another ice-out watch in the neighborhood that is a bit more predictable...at Patrick’s Pub & Eatery. That’s because on the afternoon of April 17, Laconia Ice delivered 1200 lbs of ice to Patrick’s front sidewalk—and then Patrick’s customers are invited to guess the day, hour, and minute of when the ice will melt (when the last sliver of ice turns to water). It’s all for the benefit of Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice—the Lakes Region’s home health care agency that provides Home Care (nursing and rehabilitation services in the home), the Pediatric Program (direct health care, education and support services for children and families), Hospice (a comprehensive, team-based approach to end of life care), and Support Services for the elderly & disabled.

MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) has joined forces with the American Bankers Association’s (ABA) Education Foundation to celebrate Teach Children to Save Day on Tuesday, April 23. MVSB invites parents to bring their children into their local MVSB office at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23 for a reading of Pick Pigs™ – a story about saving, sharing and spending. Geared towards children ages 3-7, the Pick Pigs™ story follows “Julia” as she learns examples of saving, sharing and spending from friends, neighbors and family members. She then picks which of her three piggy banks – saving, sharing or spending – to put her money in. Each child who attends a reading will leave receive the Pick Pigs™ book, as well as the three Pick Pigs™ piggy banks, so that they, too, can make decisions about saving, sharing and spending. Children will have the opportunity to share their savings goals and ask questions about money and banking. The goal of Teach Children to Save Day is to bring bankers and children
together to work towards increasing financial education. These are just a few examples of ways parents can pass along their financial savvy: — Set the example of a responsible money manager by paying bills on time, being a conscientious spender and an active saver. Children tend to emulate their parents’ personal finance habits. — Talk openly about money with your kids. Communicate your values and experiences with money. Encourage them to ask you questions, and be prepared to answer them. — Explain the difference between needs and wants, the value of saving and budgeting and the consequences of not doing so. — Open a savings account for your children and take them with you to the bank to make deposits, so they can learn how to be hands-on in their money management. — Let them make mistakes. As they get older, give them responsibility over how the manage their money. When they make a mistake, use it as a teachable moment to discuss the right way to handle money.

next step. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You love it when people inspire wonderful feelings in you that you can’t quite define. Your interactions with others will give you something that will be fun to process in the days to come. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). How can you expect yourself to attain a goal if you have no system of accountability? Enlist others in your process. Trying to work alone is both harder and unnecessary. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your priorities may seem idiosyncratic to others, and that’s just one of the ways by which you know they are specific to you. Also, something just feels right about the way you strive to structure your life these days. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 18). This year highlights your determined and intense side. You’ll make a discovery in the next seven weeks that shapes your work for years to come and allows you to make more money, too. People are drawn to your natural enthusiasm, and you’ll attract friendship and romance in June. Family additions come in December. Pisces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 32, 5 and 18.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). A fun mood prevails, emboldening you to be socially proactive. You’ll ask questions of total strangers, get into interesting conversations and bring people together, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be deep without realizing it. People will think about the things you say hours or even weeks from now. The best part is that you’re not trying to be profound. You’re just telling it like you see it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a gift you can share with others, but if you don’t realize what it is, it will be hard to give it. Take extra time to know yourself. What do you think your gifts and talents really are? CANCER (June 22-July 22). Have you ever thought a bruise was healed, only to accidentally hit the same place again and realize it’s still tender? Letting go of resentment is a healing process, too, and it takes time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In using your time, energy and vitality very well, you let others know that you’re in control of your life. They will not try to derail you or distract you, because they see the futility in that. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Laughter is like water. You need it daily in order to keep on keeping on. The cosmic gift of the day comes in the form of a funny person -- or someone who makes you feel funny. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The reason you don’t complain about a problem isn’t that you’re above such things. You’re just being practical in directing your energy toward more positive aspects of your life and thereby growing them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). By accepting yourself, you will change. And though it may seem counterintuitive, it won’t work the other way around. Acceptance is the key. Change is the door that can’t unlock itself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Go where you can use your talents. You need to be put in a position that speaks to your strengths. Otherwise, you will be in a constant state of resistance and dreading the

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 18, 2013
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, April 18, the 108th day of 2013. There are 257 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 18, 1943, during World War II, Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was killed as his plane was shot down by U.S. fighters while approaching Bougainville in the Solomon Islands. On this date: In 1775, Paul Revere began his famous ride from Charlestown to Lexington, Mass., warning American colonists that the British were coming. In 1831, the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa was officially opened. In 1906, a devastating earthquake struck San Francisco, followed by raging fires; estimates of the final death toll range between 3,000 and 6,000. In 1910, suffragists showed up at the U.S. Capitol with half a million signatures demanding that women be given the right to vote. In 1923, the first game was played at the original Yankee Stadium in New York; the Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-1. In 1942, an air squadron from the USS Hornet led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle raided Tokyo and other Japanese cities. The first World War II edition of The Stars and Stripes was published as a weekly newspaper. In 1945, famed American war correspondent Ernie Pyle, 44, was killed by Japanese gunfire on the Pacific island of Ie Shima, off Okinawa. In 1949, the Republic of Ireland was proclaimed. In 1955, physicist Albert Einstein died in Princeton, N.J., at age 76. In 1978, the Senate approved the Panama Canal Treaty, providing for the complete turnover of control of the waterway to Panama on the last day of 1999. In 1983, 63 people, including 17 Americans, were killed at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, by a suicide bomber. In 1988, an Israeli court convicted John Demjanjuk, a retired auto worker from Cleveland, of committing war crimes at the Treblinka death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. (Israel’s Supreme Court later overturned Demjanjuk’s conviction.) Ten years ago: Iraqi police arrested Saddam Hussein’s former finance minister (Hikmat Mizban Ibrahim al-Azzawi) and turned him over to the U.S. Marines. Scott Peterson was arrested in San Diego in the death of his wife, Laci, who was eight months pregnant when she vanished on Christmas Eve. (Peterson was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death.) Five years ago: Addressing the United Nations, Pope Benedict XVI said international cooperation needed to solve urgent problems was “in crisis” because decisions rested in the hands of a few powerful nations. One year ago: Defense Secretary Leon Panetta apologized for gruesome photographs published in the Los Angeles Times that purported to show U.S. soldiers posing with the bloodied remains of dead insurgents in Afghanistan two years earlier. Dick Clark, the ever-youthful television host and producer who helped bring rock ‘n’ roll into the mainstream on “American Bandstand” and rang in the New Year for the masses at Times Square, died in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 82.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband’s parents are in their mid-70s. They are both in good health and financially stable. The problem is, my mother-in-law has a bit of hypochondria along with some anxiety. She has self-diagnosed herself with many “syndromes” (such as fibromyalgia, restless leg, irritable bowel), and she refuses to exercise. Her syndromes, which are exacerbated by her anxiety, keep her from getting out of the house, unless it involves an activity that she truly enjoys, like shopping. My in-laws don’t have a wide social circle, and Mom refuses to try to make new friends. You can’t have a conversation with her without the topic turning to her various maladies. I believe this is causing her some depression. Our town has many great programs for seniors, and I know both of my inlaws would benefit from them. I have repeatedly suggested to my mother-in-law that she get outside more, get some exercise, volunteer, take classes at the senior center, etc., but she refuses. Annie, I understand that Mom may have some physical ailments, but being home all day and inactive surely can’t be making her better. It’s so important to remain physically and mentally active, and it’s frustrating to see a wonderful couple, a wonderful woman, throw her “golden years” away. -- Frustrated Daughter-in-Law Dear Daughter-in-Law: Your heart is in the right place, but please don’t pressure your mother-in-law to take care of herself the way you would. While exercise would be great, it only works if she’s willing to do it. To some extent, she likes her various maladies and isn’t ready to get rid of them. The best you can do right now is suggest that she see her doctor to be properly tested, evaluated and treated. And if you find a program at the senior center that you think she would like, offer to pick her up and go with her.
Dear Annie: I’m in love with a girl who said she loved me, too. We dated for a while last summer, and we’re still best friends. But “Lucy” has another boyfriend now, and he is a good guy. We all get along, but I’m extremely jealous that he has her. I’m pretty sure he knows how I feel. I’m still heartbroken about the breakup. I think about it all the time. I’m considering talking to Lucy to see whether there is any chance of us getting back together someday. Should I? -- Lover Boy Dear Lover Boy: Not unless you are absolutely certain that Lucy wants the same thing. Otherwise, you will only be hurt again. We assume the reasons for the original breakup still exist. Also, she has someone else in her life now, and it is not appropriate to make a play for his girl. If he is aware that you are still interested in Lucy, rest assured, she is, too. If she wanted to get back together, she would let you know. We recommend you spend a lot less time in her company so you can learn to get over her. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Rocky Mount, Va.,” about allowing dogs at funerals. When my sister was in hospice for four months, we told the staff how her dog, “Abby,” was searching the house and waiting at the door of her home every day. The wonderful staff suggested we bring Abby in. The dog would check on my sister first, then greet everyone else and finally lie down on the floor beside my sister’s bed. She did this every day we brought her. Toward the very end, Abby seemed to know that her wonderful master was dying. Now, she is a happy welladjusted companion to another sister. If at all possible, I recommend people let pets be with their masters at the end. Instinct seems to ease their minds, and even though the animals grieve, they are no longer waiting for them at the door. -- Getting Better
