New walls for Gilford warming hut taking shape at Huot Tech Center

By adam drapchO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Five years ago, Sarah Anderson was a 10-year-old, curious about an old building in her hometown.

That curiosity lead her to spearhead an effort to restore the small, one-room building known as the “warming hut”, located at the base of the town’s sledding hill. Now, with help from her parents, town officials, a bank, organizations and a class at the Huot Technical Center, the completion of the project is within sight.

“It feels great,” Anderson yesterday while meeting with some of the Building Construction students who are putting together new walls for the building.

The warming hut, 33 feet long and 17 feet, six inches wide, is thought to have see Hut page 15

LACONIA — If the city is to have a say in the future of the property on North Main Street that formerly housed the Laconia State School and Lakes Region (prison) Facility, it may have to make a bid for it.

For the past two years City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) has chaired a commission, convened by the Legislature to frame recommendations for the redevelopment of the site. With the commission scheduled to report to the governor and Legislature in June, the House of Representatives made no mention of the commission, but provided for the sale of the property in the 2012-2013 state budget it adopted last month.

Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), a member of commission, said yesterday that Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee of which she is a member, has indicated that he intends see state page 8

Man falls 5 stories while watching Boston Marathon

BROOKLINE, Mass.

(AP) — A 22-year-old man watching the Boston Marathon from the roof of an apartment building has been hospitalized after he crashed through a skylight and plunged five stories.

The Babson College undergraduate suffered serious injuries but was conscious after the fall Monday in the atrium of a Brookline building at 1834 Beacon St. Brookline police spokesman Lt. Philip Harrington said the man was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment.

Harrington did not immediately identify the man, but said he was from out of state.

Babson College spokesman Michael Chmura (chuh-MOO’rah) said hospital officials planned to keep the student overnight and release him Tuesday. Chmura said the student apparently did not suffer life-threatening injuries.

Additional information was not immediately available.

The private business school is based in Boston’s suburb of Wellesley.

Stocks sink after Standard & Poor’s warning on U.S. debt NEW YORK (AP) — A warning from Standard & Poor’s that the agency might lower its rating on U.S. government debt sent stocks on their steepest slide in a month Monday.

S&P said there is a 33 percent chance it would lower the country’s credit rating from AAA in the next two years if Washington fails to pare the country’s debts.

The Dow Jones industrial average, the S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq composite all had their sharpest falls since March 16.

The Dow fell 140.24 points, or 1.1 percent, to close at 12,201.59. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 14.54, or 1.1 percent, to 1,305.14. The Nasdaq composite fell 29.27, also 1.1 percent, to 2,735.38.

S&P reaffirmed the U.S. government’s top credit rating of AAA but expressed

doubts that Washington would move quickly to curb the country’s mounting budget deficits.

U.S. government bonds are widely seen as the benchmark for the safest kind of debt. The highly unusual move by the ratings agency to lower its outlook for U.S. debt to “negative” from “stable” caught investors off guard.

“This is a wake-up call,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at New Yorkbased brokerage house Avalon Partners Inc. “The government is now going to have to do something to cut the budget. That is a long-term positive for the stock market, though it might not be in the near term.”

The change means that S&P could lower its rating on U.S. government debt in the future. If that were to happen, the U.S. gov-

ernment would have to pay more to borrow money when it issues bonds.

Since the government’s borrowing rates are used as a benchmark for nearly all kinds of debt, many borrowers would also pay higher rates, including companies, homeowners and credit card users. That would have a negative impact on spending in general and the overall economy.

“The credit worthiness of the country is the underpinning on which all other asset classes are valued,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank.

“If all of a sudden the credit quality of U.S. Treasurys isn’t as high as people perceive, we could see (an) erosion of confidence and values decline.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — David and Kris Griffin returned home from out-of-town weekend trips on Monday to find that their house was one of at least 20 in their Austin neighborhood destroyed or nearly destroyed by a weekend wildfire.

Nearly all of their possessions went up in flames, and George, their cat of 11 years, was missing. Making their loss even tougher to grasp, the homes on both sides of theirs survived relatively unscathed.

“All the other houses got saved except ours ... we’re just kind of speechless right now,” said Kris Griffin. She said finding the cat was their priority, because their possessions were replaceable.

Authorities charged a 60-year-old homeless man with arson on Monday, saying he defied a nearly statewide burn ban and left a campfire untended Saturday when he went to a store to buy beer. Fire officials say wind-blown embers ignited the blaze, which spread quickly through a suburbanlike area of southwest Austin and forced the evacuation of about 200 homes.

The blaze destroyed 10 homes in the affected area and significantly damaged 10 others, and those numbers were likely to rise as fire officials continued searching the affected area, said Austin Fire Department spokesman Palmer Buck.

One of the driest spells in Texas his-

tory has left most of the state in extreme drought, and wildfires in various parts of the state have burned more than 1,000 square miles of land in the past week — an area that together would equal the size of Rhode Island.

Flames continued to drive residents from their homes along the shore of a North Texas lake, with at least 18 homes and two churches burned Monday near Possum Kingdom Reservoir on the Brazos River, 70 miles west of Fort Worth, said Trooper Gary Rozzell of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

N.H. Senate committee hears budget protest from college presidents CONCORD (AP) — The presidents of New Hampshire’s public colleges and universities told state senators Monday that going along with the House plan to cut their state funding by 45 percent would make higher education unaffordable for many students and put a significant dent in the state’s economy.

The University System of New Hampshire currently gets about $100 million a year from the state, which is spread among the University of New Hampshire, Plymouth State University, Keene State College, and Granite State College. Gov. John Lynch has proposed cutting the annual appropriation to $95 million, while the House-passed budget would cut the total to $55 million, a return to 1992 funding levels.

The current appropriation “is New Hampshire’s recognition that our democracy and our economy will depend on accessible, affordable public education,” said Sara Jayne Steen, president of Plymouth State. “Higher education both benefits the economy and transforms lives. In return on investment, education creates more value than it costs.”

UNH President Mark Huddleston said he expects to end up with less than the governor’s proposal, but that the House plan would threaten the univer-

sity’s effort to transform itself and remain affordable. Spurred by projections that show the average New Hampshire family spending 75 percent of its disposal income to send a child to UNH 10 years from now, the university has been making changes in how, what and where it teaches. Those and other changes take time, he said.

“The House’s proposed cuts are so disproportionate and so drastic that they would threaten the ongoing transformation at UNH just as it is taking hold,” he said. “I am asking that you provide UNH with the support we need to complete our metamorphosis.”

Outside the Statehouse hearing room, students chanting “Keene State matters!” nearly drowned out the officials speaking on their behalf. Inside, several of the presidents had students stand silently one by one in the audience while they described how the students would be affected by the proposed cuts.

For example, Kattey Ortiz, of Salem, is among 44 percent of students at Keene State who are the first in their families to attend college, but she fears she won’t be able to return in the fall because she relies heavily on financial aid, State President Helen

Giles-Gee said.

“The most important reason why a 45 percent cut is too extreme is that it will rob New Hampshire students of the opportunity to better themselves and their communities,” she said.

Others highlighted the university system’s economic impact on the state, which is estimated at $2 billion annually, and argued that supporting higher education is critical to providing the state with the skilled workforce it needs.

“There is no doubt that the quality of the higher education system is directly related to the success of the business community,” said Rich Ashooh, a former USNH trustee and executive with defense contractor BAE Systems.

Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Morse of Salem indicated senators aren’t looking to cut as deeply as the House but said it isn’t fair for university officials to blame the Legislature for all their troubles given that state funding makes up a small percentage of the overall university and college budgets.

“We can debate things you’ve done over there on bonding and other things to drive up tuition,” he said.

“To blame it on the Legislature is not the way to go.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Times won a Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday for revealing that politicians in a small, working-class California city were paying themselves exorbitant salaries.

But for the first time in the Pulitzers’ 95-year history, no award was given in the category of breaking news — the bread and butter of daily journalism.

In a year when the big stories included the devastating earthquake in Haiti and the Gulf oil spill, the Pulitzer Board didn’t like the entries in the breaking news category enough to honor any of them with the most prestigious award in journalism.

The Los Angeles Times won for its series revealing

that politicians in Bell, Calif., were drawing salaries well into six figures. The newspaper’s reporting that officials in the struggling city of 37,000 people were raising property taxes and other fees in part to cover the huge salaries led to arrests and the ouster of some of Bell’s top officials.

The Times won a second Pulitzer for feature photography, and The New York Times was awarded two Pulitzers for international reporting and for commentary.

“The real victors in this are the people of Bell, who were able to get rid of, there’s no other way to say it, an oppressive regime,” said reporter Jeff Gottlieb,

clutching a bottle of champagne before about 100 people in the newsroom.

Ruben Vives, another staff writer on the story, said: “At a time when people are saying newspapers are dying, I think this is the day when we can say, no, not really. We gave a small town, we gave them an opportunity to speak out. That’s what newspapers do.”

One out of six people live in poverty in Bell, while its homeowners paid property taxes higher than those in Beverly Hills. The series showed that the city manager was drawing a salary and benefits package of $1.5 million a year and that four of Bell’s see PULITIZER page 8

Meredith committee maps out long-range plan for town’s water system

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — In its eighth report to the Board of Selectmen, the Water System Committee yesterday sketched the outlines of a long-range plan that will cap its work, which began in 2008 amid fears that without expanding the water treatment plant and adding a second storage tank the system could soon run short of capacity to meet demand.

David Thorpe, chairman of the committee, told the board that after preparing four forecasts of future demand, the panel projected that under the most reasonable scenarios the capacity of the system would be sufficient until 2027. However, he said the committee recommends developing a source of groundwater and construction a second storage tower to ensure against risks to the system, which relies entirely on Lake Waukewan and one storage tower.

Selectmen Peter Brothers said that while 2030 may seem far off, “this is a huge undertaking. We don’t have time to do nothing,” he remarked, explaining that the town would have to plan for investment in the system.

The committee estimated future demand based on a projection of future development prepared by director of Community Development, John Edgar.

Thorpe stressed that rather than undertake “a classic build-out analysis,” Edgar divided the town into six areas and anticipated the changes to 121 properties in three time periods. Each property within the service area was identified as capable of being served with or without an extension while other properties could only be served by expanding the service area itself.

“We have a lot of confidence in John’s sense of how the town will build out,” Thorpe said.

Thorpe converted Edgar’s projection of development into increased demand for water for each

class of property for three time periods — the next 5 years, 6 to 10 years and 10 to 20 years — reaching to 2030. Altogether he projected demand to grow by 220,000 gallons per day by 2030. Development within the service area but without extensions and development outside the service each accounted for an additional 82,000 gallons per day.

In addition, the committee designated four properties outside the service area — the Inter-Lakes School, Grouse Point, Sky View Circle and the Robertson property at the roundabout — that would likely require connection to the system to address public health risks or foster economic development.

The committee plotted its four demand forecasts against the sustainable capacity of the system of 800,000 gallons per day. Thorpe told the board that the most most “realistic” scenario was the projected growth within the service area, with and without extensions, together with the four designated properties beyond it, which would outrun the sustainable capacity of the system in 2027.

Apart from projecting the need to expand capacity, the committee also recommended planning for alternatives to the three components of the system

at greatest risk of failure — Lake Waukewan, the treatment plant and the storage tower. Thorpe explained that while the lake held more water than the town required, its quality could be compromised by turbidity following prolonged rainfall or bacterial contamination, both of which reduce the output of the treatment plant.

Earlier the committee recommended developing a source of groundwater, the search for which is underway and expected to be completed early next year. Thorpe reminded the board that an 11 acre site will be required to protect the wells sunk to tap the groundwater. He noted that a groundwater source would bypass the treatment plant in delivering water to the distribution system, mitigating a full or partial failure of the plant.

Thorpe said that the lone storage tower, served by a single transmission, are also at risk. The longrange plan would include a recommendation for a second storage tower in the eastern part of town.

The plan itself will include a business plan, specifying the necessary investments and their costs, together with proposals for funding them through water rates and other sources.

Interior Sec. to reveal details of Cape Cod wind project

BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is heading to Boston to reveal more details Tuesday about the progress of what would be the nation’s first offshore wind farm.

Salazar will unveil a final operation and construction plan for the proposed 130-turbine Cape Wind project, an individual briefed on the announcement told The Associated Press.

The individual declined to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss the announcement

ahead of the event.

The Cape Wind project has been in the works for more than 10 years, but received its final federal permit in January from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, allowing it to move forward to the construction phase.

The project, to be located in Nantucket Sound, still faces hurdles, including legal challenges from opponents who have long battled the project, saying that see next page

Duke lacrosse player accuser indicted for murder of boyfriend RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The woman who falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her in 2006 was charged Monday with murder in the death of her boyfriend.

Crystal Mangum, 32, was indicted on a charge of first-degree murder and two counts of larceny. She has been in jail since April 3, when police charged her with assault in the stabbing of from preceding page it would pose a hazard to wildlife in the area.

That’s not the only potential problem the project is facing.

Developers of the 468-megawatt project are still shopping for a buyer for about half the power the turbines are expected to generate.

It has already received a commitment from the state’s largest utility, National Grid.

The utility estimates that its deal with Cape Wind will cost ratepayers $1.2 billion above the projected market price of comparable energy by the time it’s done. Under the 15-year deal, Cape Wind has agreed to sell power to National Grid starting at 18.7 cents per kilowatt hour, and increasing the price 3.5 percent annually.

Still, National Grid argues that the deal is a good price for the benefits it is receiving, including a uniquely large size for a renewable power project and proximity to an energy-hungry coast.

The state’s other large utility,

46-year-old Reginald Daye. He died after nearly two weeks at a hospital.

An attorney for Mangum did not return a call seeking comment. The district attorney’s office declined to discuss the case.

Mangum falsely accused the lacrosse players of raping her at a 2006 party for which she was hired to perform as a stripper.

NStar, passed on Cape Wind, instead focusing on energy contracts with three smaller land wind farms that it said are a total of $111 million below market price.

Cape Wind foes argue the project is an unnecessary burden for ratepayers. They’ve asked the state Department of Public Utilities to reconsider its approval of the National Grid deal.

A 2008 law requires Massachusetts utilities to obtain increasing amounts of renewable power and calls for 20 percent of their supply to be renewable power by 2025.

The same law tries to make it easier for renewable projects to get financing by requiring utilities to seek longterm deals with them for at least 3 percent of their total demand.

The Cape Wind project will cost $2.62 billion to build, according an estimate from the Massachusetts attorney general’s office. Developers say it will power 200,000 homes in average winds.

The Machiavelli of nonviolence Dr. Gene Sharp is senior scholar at the Albert Einstein Institution in Boston. He founded this institution as a research center to study and promote nonviolence around the world. The work that he has done has caused him to be dubbed the “Machiavelli of nonviolence” and the “Clausewitz of nonviolent warfare.”

Sharp has been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I sincerely hope that the Nobel committee does not miss the opportunity to give Sharp his due while he is still with us. At age 85 he continues to work in his office daily. He has been interviewed by several newspapers and magazines and radio and TV stations, and is getting increased attention because his ideas about overthrowing dictators through the use of nonviolent action are being translated into practice in various parts of the world, most notably in the middle east. His book, From dictatorship to democracy has been translated into 24 languages and is considered the Bible of nonviolent revolution. It is a basic how to manual for removing dictators from power without resorting to violence.

It has been said to have influenced campaigns of Georgia’s Kmara, Ukraine’s Pora, Serbia’s Otpor, Kyrgystan’s KelKel and Belarus’ Zubr as well as campaigns in Egypt and Tunisia.

by Sharp’s books a few of which include waging nonviolent struggle: “20th century practice and 21st century potential” (2005), “Nonviolent action: A research guide” (1997), “Civilian-based defense: A postmilitary weapons system” (1990), “Social power and political freedom” (1980) and “The politics of nonviolent action” (1973). When Lithuania , Latvia and Estonia were in the process of separating from the U.S.S.R in 1991, governments in those countries used Sharp’s writings on civilian-based (nonviolent) defense to plan their strategies. The Iranian government accused Sharp of fomenting protest about election fraud in that country because the protestors were using material from his works in their attempted “velvet” revolution. Hugo Chavez and other dictatorial type leaders have accused Sharp of working for the CIA. Sharp was amused at this, and during a visit I recently made with him, he pointed to the meagerness of his office as an indicator that he is not on the CIA payroll.

In 1968, I took Sharp’s course, “Resistance, Rebellion and Revolution” at U of Mass at Boston. In that course, we learned about the effects of guerilla warfare, mass revolution, coup-de-etat and nonviolent resistance. We also learned that that nonviolence has a rich history

dating back to 494 BC and that 198 techniques are used in its practice.

My reading of Sharp’s 1500 page doctoral dissertation on nonviolence from Oxford University was an eye opening experience as I had never been aware of the extent and power of the force that Gandhi once called “the most powerful weapon ever designed by the ingenuity of man”.

Sharp has traveled the world teaching nonviolence and was even in Tiananmen Square in China at the time of the student revolt. One of his colleagues, retired Army Colonel Robert Helvey, spent years teaching nonviolence in the jungles of Burma which is now called Myanmar. The military has shown great interest in the field of nonviolence and are among Sharp’s greatest admirers to the point that nonviolence is now being taught in war colleges in the U.S. and Canada.

Sharp is primarily a great thinker about nonviolence rather than a political activist. However, when he was young, he participated in lunch counter sit-ins and spent nine months in jail as a conscientious objector during the Korean War. When nonviolent revolutions meet success as in Egypt, Chile and the Philippines, Sharp is quick to give credit to the people who began the revolt and not to himself. He does not consider himself a pacifist because he places emphasis on the word “action” in nonviolent action.

He insists that nonviolence requires that people do things that dictators don’t want them to do or refuse to do things that dictators want them to do. He sees passivity as having nothing to do with nonviolence.

Also, cowardice has no place in nonviolence because overcoming fear is necessary for success.

According to Sharp, “if you fight violence, you are fighting with your enemy’s best weapon and you may be a brave but dead hero.” Sharp does acknowledge that lives are often lost in nonviolent struggle but there is much greater loss of life and destruction of property when violent struggle is waged. Also, the fact that lives are lost in war has not dissuaded the waging of war so it should not be used as an excuse not to use nonviolence.

UNH English professor, Michael Ferber ,wrote that Sharp “has accomplished what George Bush and Barack Obama, with the full resources of the U.S. government, trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of troops could not; he has exported democracy.”

I urge readers to Google the Albert Einstein Institution to see what it has done and is doing to promote nonviolence and democracy around the world. Some material can be easily downloaded, and books and DVDs can be ordered through the see next page

LETTERS Republicans did conspire to elect Obama, they nominated McCain To the editor, Let me see if I caught the gist of E. Scott Cracraft’s April 14 letter. A” birther” is a blithering blatherskite and bigot to boot. It’s pure ignorance and racism and you can take that to the bank. How am I doing? I do agree with you that there has been an abundance of misinformation due in no small part to the President of Transparency’s lack thereof. Why did Republicans not raise the birth certificate issue when the president was running you ask? My guess would be it was due to the suffocating mantle of political correctness and it’s best buddy, the ubiquitous charge of racism, that caused vapor lock within the Republican machinery.

No other president has been subjected to anything like this since JFK you say? Could it be that never before has a president’s eligibility been in question to any significant degree up until now. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that President Obama’s Republican challenger was rather thoroughly investigated since he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. John McCain cooperated to clear up any confusion over his birth certificate and produced thousands of pages of medical records rather than sealing them and spending millions to keep them secret. Perhaps Mr. Cracraft

forgot about that. And who can forget the fun and frolic the mainstream media had in trying to destroy Sarah Palin’s character. Never mind that she was only a white female running in the co-pilot spot. Yes, that would be the very same mainstream media who protected the Democratic presidential nominee with the same fierceness that a starving pit bull would protect and defend his new found T-bone steak.

Finally, it is apparently impossible for a liberal to posit an opinion or theory without dealing that wildly overused race card. I’m actually surprised Scott, with the card so dog eared and worn, that it didn’t crumble in your hand as you drew it out and flung it onto the table of conservatism.

As for the Republicans conspiring to get Barack Obama elected, well, they did come up with John McCain as his opponent. That was pretty Bob Dole like, don’t you think? Anyway, we can both take heart because Dr. Jerome Corsi, PhD in Political Science from Harvard, has a thoroughly researched and footnoted book coming out on May 17. He has promised that it’s contents will settle this “birther” issue once and for all. Let’s hope so because clearly, this issue is driving both you and me up a wall.

Planned isn’t planning for Parenthood, its murdering children To the editor, A response to Jack Polidoro’s letter in the April 15 edition of The Daily Sun: According to Planned Parenthood’s website, in an aspiration abortion, “A tube is inserted through the cervix into the uterus and either a hand-held suction device or a machine gently empties the uterus.” What is being emptied here? The baby!

Also on Planned Parenthood’s site is an explanation of the procedures done in a dilation and evacuation abortion.

I quote: “...you may also need a shot through your abdomen to make sure there is fetal demise.” A fetus is a person. Demise is death. The abortionist can’t kill it if it isn’t a live human.

Does Mr. Polidoro not realize that assuring “fetal demise” is guaranteeing that a human is dead, yes, dead.

Of the $363-million that Mr. Poli-

doro says comes to Planned Parenthood from federal funds, some portion certainly is used to perform aspiration abortions and dilation and evacuation abortions. What I and many others in New Hampshire most oppose is the slaughter of babies (fetal demise).

What we secondly oppose is having our tax dollars used in this murderous industry. Our constitution guarantees life. Government funds should not be used for exterminating children, born or unborn.

Planned Parenthood’s killing of babies isn’t planning for parenthood.

It is murdering the parents’ children.

I strongly oppose having even one cent of my tax money going to Planned Parenthood to be used in baby killing.

Life is precious; choose life.

LETTERS I suspect Trump, at heart, is neither a Republican nor a ‘birther’

We use chicken poop for fertilizer & our lawn looks like golf course

To the edtior, Donald Trump isn’t a birther; he’s just pimping off of them. Recently, the surreality show host and billionaire blowhard has been making the rounds of TV talk shows parroting the long ago debunked assertion that President Obama was born in the African nation of Kenya — not Hawaii.

If true, which it isn’t, that would make Obama ineligible to be president.

To give this stale “odor of mendacity” a fresh whiff, Trump announced with a straight face on NBC’s Today that he has dispatched his own investigators to Hawaii to ferret out his version of the truth. “I have people that actually have been studying it, and they cannot believe what they are finding,” he said about the birth records Hawaii officials have for Obama. Trump, who hosts The Celebrity Apprentice — the peacock network’s top-rated show — got away with that conspiracy theorist tease during an interview with Today show host Meredith Vieira without being asked what his sleuths found.

Never mind that both Hawaii’s current governor, Democrat Neil Abercrombie, and his predecessor, Republican Linda Lingle, have said that state records show Obama was born in Hawaii. Trump persists in demanding the president personally satisfy him that he was born in America. “If he weren’t lying why wouldn’t he just solve it?” Trump said on Today.

“I would like to have him show his birth certificate.”

Why Trump is doing this is unclear.

He wraps his questions about the authenticity of Obama’s official birth record with chest-thumping talk of how he might run for president to save us from Obama’s mismanagement of the nation’s affairs. But that decision won’t come before this season’s final episode of his TV show airs in late May. To enter the race sooner wouldn’t be fair to NBC, which has to take his show off the air

To the editor, Now that spring is in the air it is time to get our lawns in shape. We should think it out well before we use those NASTY CHEMICALS. All they do is go into our wells, lakes,and are a hazard to our health. There are alternative ways we can have a golf course lawn without the use of chemicals. Did you know that some of the weed killers we use are agent orange? So are we doing good or harming ourselves and the world around us?

I wish they would band all pesticides. Again, it’s a money-making deal that if there is another way people selling these chemicals do not want

if he becomes a presidential candidate.

Now that’s a guy who has his priorities in the right order. Right?

Of course, the other possibility is that by fanning the flames of the birther movement, Trump is using this issue to build an even larger audience for his show with appearances on other broadcast and cable networks that are being duped into treating what he says as something that is newsworthy. It isn’t.

However, Trump’s harangue about Obama’s birth record appears to have made him the darling of a sizable chunk of would-be Republican Party primary voters. He’s tied for second place (17-percent) with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee in a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal Survey of GOP voters who were asked who they favored for the party’s presidential nomination. Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, finished first with the support of 21-percent of the respondents.

I suspect Trump is, at heart, neither a Republican nor a birther. He’s a mountebank — a flamboyant and deceptive hawker of his own interests. He’s a guy who has managed to amass enormous wealth while attaching his name to multimillion-dollar real estate deals that went bad and billion-dollar casinos that ended up in bankruptcy court.

In a recent letter to The New York Times, Trump accused the news media of shielding Obama from the charge that he is not a U.S. citizen. “What they don’t realize is that if he was not born in the United States,” he said, “they would have uncovered the greatest ‘scam’ inthe history of our country.”

But, in truth, the great scam journalists and others in the media have yet to uncover is the one that keeps Donald Trump in the national spotlight.

Now I realize I should have used his real name in my letter To the editor, Please bear with me but may I have a chance to defend myself for a moment?

One reader was SO offended he attacked me personally in Saturday’s paper, using my name nine times, when I had not mentioned his name at all.

His letter was just “me me and I” and

suggested that I was stupid and never addressed the topic of discussion even once. As he wished, I did call him that morning and we had a rational and gentlemanly discussion for about 15 minutes. Now I realize that I should have used his real name after all.

from preceding page web page. The ideas of Sharp will continue to impact the world in profound ways, and his greatest gift to us all is the replacement of the war system that destroys countless lives and property, leaves a wake of misery, pollutes the earth, wastes natural resources such as oil and drains the budgets of countries at the expense of social services. Sharp is no idealistic dreamer. He is a deep thinker, a meticulous researcher and a scholar of the highest caliber. He deserves our support and encouragement so that we can transform our world into one free of oppression and violence.

In response to the question of how nonviolence can stop another Hitler,

prevent another Hitler rather than watching his military might expand without consequence. Also, Hitler was not prepared to deal with nonviolence.

His military couldn’t even cope with a few hundred German women who, while unarmed, were able to force the German authorities to release their Jewish husbands from confinement.

These were the famous Rose Street women. If they can accomplish such a feat, then who knows how much can be done in other situations where the choice of nonviolence over violence would bring the best outcome.

(Leo R. Sandy is professor of counselor education at Plymouth State University and a consulting school psychologist.)

us to know that there is another way. After all how can they make the money even if it is bad all around? We use chicken poop when we fertilize our lawn and it is like a golf course.

We use lime as well. We have so many other things out there we can use.

No one seems to find other ways. We have never used pesticides. We do not want that in our lakes or our drinking water. When it rains those chemicals run off into the storm drains.

So welcome spring and green is the way to go. Lets all ban chemicals! Now that would be a good thing.

STATE from page one to discuss the issue with Lahey and members of the commission before deciding how to treat it in the Senate version of the budget.Meanwhile, when the commission met in March, Michael Connor of the Department of Administrative Services, who oversees state property, explained that Governor John Lynch included $600,000 in his capital budget for the repair of buildings on the property and an environmental assessment of the site. He said that the environmental would enable the state to determine the value of the property and proceed with its sale.

The site consists of three tax parcels. The largest, consisting of 212-acres with frontage on North Main Street (Route 106) and Meredith Center Road, houses approximately 26 buildings and five accessory structures. The other two lots, a 7.5-acre parcel at the junction of Meredith Center Road and Lane Road and a 10.4-acre parcel bounded by North Main Street and Old North Main Street, are both vacant.

Lahey said that at two public meetings in Laconia a variety of uses were proposed for the site, with development of a campus for the Lakes Region Community College, accompanied by incubator space for businesses, and an agricultural center drawing significant support.

Although the commission has not framed specific recommendations for the future of the property, Lahey said that it has ruled out a number of uses for it. The commission canvassed all departments and agencies of state government and found that only the New Hampshire National Guard expressed interest in operating an armory and training facility on the property. Likewise, he noted that after preparing a market analysis, Vita Nuova, LLC, a consulting firm engaged by the

commission, reported that the site was not suited to commercial development.

Lahey recalled that a year ago, when a legislative committee contemplated selling the property, it was persuaded to defer its decision until his commission reported. Nevertheless, to forestall intensive residential development of the site, the city rezoned the property, placing it in the RR1 district where the minimum lot size is two acres., with or without public utilities, and lots require 250 feet of road frontage. Lahey said that if the site is sold to private interests, the city has restricted its use by changing the zoning.

With the state apparently determined to sell the property, Lahey last week suggested the city seek to acquire portions of it. The four parcels include some 60 acres adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex known as Hank Risley Field, which is owned by the state, but provides parking for the complex, which is home to the Laconia Muskrats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. Stressing the importance of parking to success of the complex, Lahey proposed seeking to acquire the parcel.

Furthermore, Lahey suggested the city also consider acquiring the 77 acres bordered by North Main Street, Meredith Center Road and Right Way Path, which represents about a third of the former state school site. He suggested the land could be purchased with conservation funds and placed under a conservation easement.

To facilitate the transaction, Lahey suggested the city offer to surrender its long-term leases on two other, smaller state-owned parcels, one of 7.5 acres at the corner of Meredith Center Road and Lane Road and another of 10.4 acres between North Main

Street and Old North Main Street. Unencumbered by the leases, the properties could be offered for sale.

Lahey said that the larger of the two parcels was well suited to residential development.

The state would be left with remaining 75 acres between Right Way Path and Ahern State Park, where most of the buildings stand, to sell to a private buyer, who would be bound by the municipal zoning ordinance.

Lahey said that the commission will meet in May to review a draft report, which he said would recount the panel’s proceedings, provide information about the condition of the property, and present the various suggestions for its redevelopment. However, he conceded that the future of the site will be determined not by the commission but by the market.

“I’m looking at this as a real estate transaction,” he said.

Take note, a single large investor has taken delivery on $987M in gold To the editor, Did you ever hear of UTIMCO? No. Me neither. They are the University of Texas Investment Management Co. UTIMCO took delivery of 6,643 gold bars, worth $987-million on April 15.

It is now stored in a bank warehouse in New York. The decision to purchase and take delivery of the physical gold was made by endowment boarf through staff members. Gold futures touched a record $1,489.10 an ounce April 15 in New York before closing at $1,486. The Texas fund’s $19.9-billion in assets ranked it behind only Harvard University’s endowment as of August, according to the National Association of College and University Business Officers.

Last year, UTIMCO added about $500-million in gold investments to an existing stake. The fund’s managers sought to take delivery of bullion to protect against demand for the metal overwhelming supply. Open interest in gold futures and options traded on the Comex typically exceeds supplies held in its warehouses. If the holders of just 5-percent of those contracts opted to take delivery of the metal, there wouldn’t be enough to cover the demand.

The reasoning goes; if you own a paper contract where they can only deliver you 10-cents on the dollar or less, you should probably convert it to physical. Holding cash wasn’t a better choice because the rate of inflation exceeds money-market rates by 2.5-percent to 3-percent, eroding the value of cash. “Central banks are printing more money than they ever have, so what’s the value of money in terms of purchases of goods and services” said Mr. Bass, a member of the UTIMCO board, on April 15 in a telephone interview. “I look at gold as just another currency that they can’t print

any more of.”

Sovereign-debt concerns also boosted demand for the metal on April 15, driving Comex futures to an all-time high.

The price has climbed 28-percent in the past year. Gold’s 10-year rally has attracted billionaire investors such as George Soros and John Paulson, who seek a store of value as record-low interest rates erode returns on currencies.

Few investors take physical delivery of bullion. As of April 14, 2,860 contracts had been converted to metal this month or about 0.5-percent of total open interest according to exchange data.

Physical deliveries have slowed as gold topped records this year. It’s usually wealthy individuals with net worth over $1-million who want to take delivery to diversify away from the dollar because it’s a big hassle and not worth it to take delivery. Investors can own 100 ounces of gold futures by paying a $100 fee and putting up $6,571 in a margin account to purchase one contract. To take delivery of a 100 ounce bar investors have to pay the full price of the contract.

The endowment, which oversees funds held by the University of Texas System and Texas A&M University now has about 664,300 ounces of bullion in a Comex-registered vault in New York owned by HSBC Holdings Plc, the London-based bank, according to a report distributed at a meeting in Austin. Please don’t take this to be support or dispute of the position they have taken. Rather, this is taking note of what a single large investor has done. The old saying is; Put your money where your mouth is. Listen to what the man says... but understand what he does and why.

What an amazing community we live in. All businesses, all restaurants, have been most receptive and courteous, and I can only imagine how many people come in asking FOR something each and every day.

GOT LUNCH is different, we want to DO something for our kids.

The next step in our fund-raising plan is to encourage the support of area restaurants for a GOT LUNCH! week, May 16-21 to encourage citizens to eat out at area restaurants to support the GOT LUNCH effort. Many restaurants I visited are very support-

ive and have committed, but we feel we need all restaurants to participate to maximize the effect. We feel our cause is so important. We live in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, an area that attracts visitors from around the world, and we have children without enough to eat. We as a community must address that. With full support, we will advertise and make sure that the entire community is aware of the restaurants and days that they can pitch in to help. Please help. We have kids that are hungry. We should all be waking up nights thinking about that.

To the editor, Responding to Brett Goodhue’s letter to the editor, dated April 16, It appears, at first glance, that Mr. Goodhue is not a registered voter in Gilford and some of his information is patently false. Shep Brown’s Marina has never been a supporter, rather an adamant opposer, of WinnFABS. The NH Marine Trades Association also have not been in support of speed limits for boats anywhere.

The boat dealers reason for being in business is to make a profit and keeping their patrons happy with their sales and services.

Mr. Goodhue obviously has not paid attention over the years, WinnFABS has never said it wants the performance boats off the big lake, only that they use common sense and courtesy when operating their vessels. That includes complying with the speed limits of 45/30 mph at which all water sports, except speed for the sake of speed alone, can and have been practiced over many years. They have had their way for as long as we can remember, over 40 plus years and we now believe it’s time for everyone to realize that accidents, injuries and fatalities can easily be averted by slowing down. It is we believe a very

simple factor of physics that is not that hard to understand.

The marina owners would like the Boaters Education Safety Certificate law to remain as it has been for a lot of years so that any one wanting to rent a boat for an hour or so still has to have the proper certification required by the current law and not have to hold their entire family up for an extended time waiting for them to study the book, take an on-line test, with the possibility of failing the score requirements, and not to be able to enjoy a half day with their families on the water.

Now you believe that 12-15 year olds should be taking a somewhat lengthy test that does not provide them with a whit of operating experience and then allow them to operate a vessel of 25 hp or less without an adult on board — give us all a break.

By the by, since 2005 or earlier, WinnFABS has not been about anything but speed. We are not like the current bunch, SBONH, that claim to be about everything to do with boating safety but haven’t asked for any new laws that have a darn thing to do with same.

Local man arrested for meth possession, & shotgun

LACONIA — City police working with state and federal law enforcement on Sunday raided an Mechanic Street apartment building and arrested one resident of charges of methamphetamine possession.

Documents filed in Laconia District Court indicate Stephen W. Marando, 50, of 241 Mechanic St. #3 was charged with one felony count of possession of narcotic drugs and one count misdemeanor count of possession of property without a serial number — for allegedly possessing a 12-gauge shotgun with the serial number filed down.

In their affidavit of facts, police, who had gotten a search warrant for the apartment, said when they entered the apartment on April 17 they found

Marando giving another person a tattoo.

During the search, police said they found a mirror with white powder that Marando is said to have admitted was methamphetamine. He allegedly acknowledged owning the mirror.

Police also allegedly found a 12-gauge Pardner Pump 12-gauge shotgun with the serial number “obliterated or mutilated” by being scratched off the gun.

Judge Edward “Ned” Gordon ordered Marando held on $5,000 cash only bail.

According to the affidavit, Marando was free on personal recognizance bail from Laconia District Court stemming from an alleged charge of possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and possession of Xanax from Jan. 31, 2011.

BEACH from page one selectmen’s goal was to make it as “easy as possible” for legitimate residents to go to the beach but make sure there is room for Belmont people when they choose to go to the beach.

Breton gave selectmen three possible enforcement options for the people who will staff the gatehouse at the beach’s entrance this summer — stickers only, a driver’s license with a Belmont address or a current tax bill.

Pike said his only issue with the stickers, issued by the town clerk, is that he would like to see each sticker picked up and signed for by the person who will actually use it.

“I don’t want them picked up and handed out at random,” he said.

Selectman Ron Cormier said his issue with driv-

er’s licenses was the number of summer residents who won’t have a N.H., much less Belmont, driver’s licenses. He said producing a tax bill would be even more problematic.

Former Selectman Donna Cilley asked how the town of Gilford monitors its town-owned beach.

No sticker, no admittance was the response given

by Pike.

“So why don’t we do that?”’ she asked.

While Pike said on the surface it seems pretty cut and dry, he said his fear is putting the enforcement responsibility on the shoulders of an 16-year-old summer employee. “How’s an 16-year-old going to tell some gray-haired guy he can’t go swimming,” he asked.

Selectman Dave Morse said he would recommend monitoring the use and writing down the license plate numbers of people who go to the beach but don’t have a sticker. Problems, especially with people who repeatedly violate the rules, can be brought to the attention of police and selectmen.

Cilley suggested the town hand-out a paper to each beach user clearly identifying the rules, including the one of residency, then the town could gradually step up its enforcement to include not allowing any access, without a sticker, to the beach beginning next year.

Selectmen asked Breton to closely monitor the situation this year and return to the board if unauthorized beach use gets out of control.

HUT from page one been built in the 1940s by the Gilford Outing Club, which operated a small ski slope on Potter Hill. For decades, adults in town would volunteer their time to teach children how to ski on the slope and would offer hot chocolate and a warm place to rest in the hut at the bottom. Those who learned to ski on the hill included four Olympians-to-be, including twotime silver medalist Penny Pitou.The Outing Club’s era ended in 1992 and the hut was donated to the town. When Anderson, accompanied by her parents, approached the town five years ago, her proposal to renovate the building as a reminder of the town’s history was warmly received. Sheldon Morgan, former Public Works director for the town, became especially active in the project and has continued to assist the Andersons research the building’s history and creating plans for the Huot students to use.

Because the Andersons hope to get the building registered as a historic place, it was necessary for the renovation to be done using period-correct construction techniques. Therefore, the lumber used to build the walls was all rough-cut two by fours, which, unlike conventional modern lumber, actually measures two inches by four inches. Students also eschewed nail guns in favor of hammers.

Anderson said fund raising was the primary delay in pursuing the project. Meredith Village Savings Bank offered the group a $4,000 matching grant, which meant that Anderson had to raise $4,000 in private donations in order to receive the grant. So far, $10,000 has been raised for the project, including the grant. Funding that remains after all renovation has been completed will be used for ongoing maintenance of the building. No tax dollars were

used for the project.

As Carol Anderson, Sarah’s mom, explained to students of the Building Construction class, the walls would then be transported to the site where members of the Gilford Rotary Club would them.

“I think that’s crap,” said Richard Wilson, a junior from Belmont. “We’d like to finish our project.” He said it was fun to work on the project. “It’s great seeing it come together – to see a finished project is pretty great.”

Both Huot Technical Center Director Scott Davis,

who was present during the discussion, and the Andersons thought it might be feasible to team the class up with the Rotary volunteers for the final leg of the project.

Carol said the building’s concrete floor will remain, as will any components of the building, such as windows, which can be salvaged. Organizers won’t know how much of the building they can salvage until workers begin to disassemble the structure.

After spending five years on this project, Sarah Anderson said her appetite is only whetted for more.

“This project has made me want to go into the field of historic preservation,” she said. “I love buildings to begin with, then I got interested in the history of that building. It’s been fun.”

TEXAS FIRES from page 2 fires approached consolidation into one massive one called the Possum Kingdom Complex. The heat from the flames grew so intense Monday that it sent cinders high into the atmosphere, where they became icy and fell in a process called “ice-capping,” he said.

“They tell me it’s like a roof falling in,” he said.

Palo Pinto County Judge David Nicklas, the county’s chief executive, said flames from that fire touched off a storage building filled with fireworks.

No injuries were reported.

Gov. Rick Perry asked President Barack Obama on Sunday for federal disaster funding, and forestry officials said Monday that the threat of new wildfires remained extremely high in the western part of the state.

“We really need the federal government to step up at a substantially greater role that they have been playing,” Perry said Monday.

He also urged Texas residents to use extreme caution with any outdoor fires and to remove dried vegetation that can fuel wildfires.

“There are some really serious conditions out there,” Perry said.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said Monday that two people who apparently wanted to see one of the West Texas fires from the air were killed when their single-engine biplane crashed the day before.

Lunsford said witnesses told investigators the two-seater took off from Mathis Field/San Angelo Municipal Airport on Sunday and that the two people on board, whose identities were not immediately released, indicated they wanted to go on a sightseeing trip over the wildfire. The wreckage was found Monday east of San Angelo.

In East Texas, closer to the border with Louisiana, new blazes broke out in an area known for its thick forests, sometimes called the Piney Woods. About 3,000 acres have burned in the area, Texas Forest Service spokesman Marq Webb said.

Webb said he was particularly concerned that the tops of some trees have been set alight by wind-carried embers, a phenomenon known as crowning.

“Fire builds up and gets into the tops of trees, it just races through the top,” Webb said. “You don’t normally see that kind of fire activity in East Texas.

He said the man told him he was stranded and was hoping to find a ride to Laconia.

“Sure, if you don’t mind riding with me,” the subcontractor said.

He said the lone man, who he described as being about 5-feet 9-inches tall and kind of heavy-set, told him he and his two cousins had gotten into a bar fight the night before and had gotten separated.

The two set out from McDonald’s, finished the rest of his paper route, picked up his the passenger’s cousins in the village area and then drove to Laconia.

FAA suspends 2 controllers for watching movie on duty

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal aviation officials say another air traffic controller has been suspended, this time for watching a movie when he was supposed to be monitoring aircraft.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement on Monday that it had suspended a controller and a manager at a regional radar facility in Cleveland that handles high altitude air traffic.

The air traffic control facility became aware that the controller was watching a DVD early Sunday morning when his microphone was inadvertently activated. For more than three minutes, the movie’s soundtrack was transmitted over the radio throughout the air traffic area he was monitoring.

The controller became aware of the problem when contacted by the pilot of a military plane.

The incident follows at least five cases of controllers falling asleep on duty.

Senate hearing on House budget set

CONCORD (AP) — The public will get its chance this week to tell the Senate what it thinks of the $10.2 billion spending plan the New Hampshire House approved.

The Senate Finance Committee is holding a public hearing Thursday afternoon and evening on the House’s version of the budget for the two years beginning July 1. The committee has been meeting with agency heads who have been outlining problems they face from spending cuts in the House budget.

Finance Chairman Chuck Morse of Salem has cautioned they should not expect the Senate to restore the $500 million the House has cut from Gov. John Lynch’s budget. Morse said his priorities are to restore money to programs for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled.

scene” where a disturbance escalated and a black male “produced a firearm discharging the weapon during the confrontation.”

Police said witnesses described the man as a black, about 6-feet tall, weighing about 200 pounds and with very closely cut or no hair. They said he may go by the name of “Boston.” defaults as more customers made payments on time.

Several other big banks are due to report earnings this week. Traders are keen to find out if banks are lending more. Upcoming reports from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. this week are “crucial for the markets,” says Quincy Krosby, a market strategist for Prudential Financial.

The subcontractor said his passenger was very friendly, didn’t appear to be intoxicated and was more than willing to accompany him on the remainder of his route.

He said his passenger didn’t give him his name but said he was from Boston. “I know he had a real heavy Boston accent,” said the driver.

He said his passenger asked him if he would pick up his two cousins in the Main Street Meredith area, which he said he did, and the four of them spent the next 90 minutes talking and delivering newspapers.

“All three said they weren’t from around here,” said the subcontractor who said the three were “very, very nice people” and were very cordial to him.

He said at one point his passenger asked him what made him pick up a total stranger and give him a ride two which the subcontractor said he replied, “Well I know what it’s like to be stranded.”

He went on to say it was like the movie, “Pay It Forward” and when you do a good deed for someone some day that good deed may get repaid.

The subcontractor said he dropped them off at a building in the downtown Laconia area.

Kenya’s Mutai wins Boston Marathon in very fast 2:03:02

BOSTON (AP) — Kenya’s Geoffrey Mutai ran the fastest 26.2 miles in history to win the Boston Marathon on Monday. Then his claim to a world record was swallowed up by the hills.

Not the inclines of Heartbreak Hill that have doomed so many runners before him.

It was the downhill part of the race that makes his time of 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds ineligible for an official world record. In short: IAAF rules have deemed the oldest and most prestigious marathon in the world — long considered the one of the most difficult, too — to be too easy.

“You don’t look at world records. You just go,” Mutai said. “If you are strong, you push it.

But if you put it in your head, you can’t make it.”

Mutai outsprinted Moses Mosop down Boylston Street to win by four seconds as the two Kenyans both beat Haile Gebrselassie’s sanctioned world record of 2:03:59.

Four men, including thirdplace finisher Gebregziabher Gebremariam of Ethiopia and American Ryan Hall, broke the course record of 2:05:52 set just last year by Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot.

“These guys obviously showed us what’s possible for the marathon,” said Hall, whose 2:04:58 is the fastest ever run by an American. “I was out there running, and I was thinking to myself, ‘I can’t believe this is happening right now.

I’m running a 2:04 pace, and I can’t even see the leaders.’ It was unreal.”

The IAAF must certify a world record, and it is unlikely to approve Mutai’s feat. The international governing body’s Rule 206 requires courses to start and finish near the same point in order to discourage downhill, wind-aided runs and the artificially fast times they can produce. (Boston has a net decline of 459 feet, though the course is dominated by hills going up and down.)

Dice-K, Red Sox claim Patriot’s Win over Jays, 9-1 BOSTON (AP) — Daisuke Matsuzaka wanted to impress his old pitching coach.

Did he ever.

Matsuzaka pitched one-hit ball for seven innings after one of the worst outings of his career and Boston got an early start on its third straight win, beating the Toronto Blue Jays and new manager John Farrell 9-1 on Monday in the Red Sox traditional morning Patriots Day game.

“Farrell is on the other side so I wanted to show solid pitching in front of him,” Matsuzaka said through a translator.

For the past four years Farrell tried, often unsuccessfully, to get Matsuzaka to attack hitters and cut down his pitch count. On Monday, the right-hander threw just 89 pitches against the free-swinging Blue Jays, whose impatience at the plate worked in his favor.

“He threw a very good game,” Farrell said. “He’s had a lot of success against Toronto in the past and he’s used his fastball effectively. He did that today and we weren’t able to put good swings on it.”

More importantly, Matsuzaka impressed his own manager, Terry Francona, after entering the game with a 12.86 ERA in two starts. Matsuzaka permitted only two baserunners, matching the fewest he’s allowed in his 101 major league starts.

“If I did pitch badly,” Matsuzaka said, “I thought there wouldn’t be the next chance.”

The game began at 11:07 a.m. at Fenway Park. The holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine marks the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. Earlier Monday, the 115th Boston Mara-

thon passed through nearby Kenmore Square.

Matsuzaka (1-2) got plenty of support as Jed Lowrie’s four hits led a 13-hit, three-homer attack.

Matsuzaka gave up a clean single to center to Jose Bautista with two outs in the first. He walked Travis Snider with two outs in the second, then set down his final 16 batters to improve to 7-1 against the Blue Jays.

He struck out three and walked one. In his previous start against Tampa Bay, he allowed seven runs in two innings.

Toronto finished with two hits. Yunel Escobar homered off Tim Wakefield in the ninth.

Lowrie hit his second homer, a two-run shot in the fifth off Ricky Romero (1-2) that made it 5-0, and finished with four RBIs. He now has 15 hits in his last 24 at-bats.

At one point, Lowrie’s .533 batting average was posted on the scoreboard.

“I understand, but who cares? It’s April 18. We’ve got a long season,” he said. “You don’t think about it.

You just continue to do what you’re doing and go out there and just let it happen.”

Kevin Youkilis and Jacoby Ellsbury also homered.

The festive day marked another special occasion — a hit by Carl Crawford.

Boston’s left fielder, signed to a $142 million, seven-year contract in the offseason, broke an 0-for15 slump with an RBI double that made it 8-0 in the sixth. Crawford, booed after his previous at-bat, received a standing ovation as he raised his batting average to .136 (8 for 59).

Bruins get on the board in Montreal playoff series MONTREAL (AP) — David Krejci and Nathan Horton scored first-period goals to lead Boston to a 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night as the Bruins won on the road after dropping the first two games of their first-round series at home.

Tim Thomas stopped 34 shots for Boston and Rich Peverley scored in the second. Chris Kelly scored into an empty net with 25.6 seconds remaining.

Bruins captain Zdeno Chara returned to the lineup after missing Saturday night’s 3-2 loss to Montreal after he was hospitalized overnight for dehydration.

Andrei Kostitsyn, who also missed Game 2, scored the Canadiens’ first goal with Boston holding a 3-0 lead 7:03 into the middle period. Tomas Plekanec drew Montreal within one early in the third.

Carey Price made 21 saves after stopping 65 of 66 in the Canadiens’ two wins at the TD Bank Garden and posting a shutout in Thursday’s series opening 2-0 win.

Game 4 is Thursday night.

The Bruins will practice in Lake Placid on Tuesday

and Wednesday, the site of the U.S. hockey team’s “Miracle on Ice” in the 1980 Olympics. Coming into the Bell Centre facing a 2-0 series deficit with a streak of six straight playoff losses, it looked as though Boston might need a miracle of its own to solve Price.

Chara, who played his first game in Montreal since his devastating hit on Max Pacioretty, saw his customary boos turn to cheers when the Bruins were called for too many men 1:08 in after the 6-foot-9 Boston captain jumped on the ice with fellow defenseman Dennis Seidenberg.

The sold-out crowd of 21,273 was silenced moments later when Seidenberg drew an assist as Krejci beat Price for his first goal at 3:08.

Chara helped set up Horton’s goal at 14:38 as the Bruins stretched their first lead of the series to 2-0.

After playing virtually error-free hockey through the first two games in Boston, the Canadiens lost their composure in the first period and that carried over into the second.

(Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — The Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce (LRCC) will present a “Business After Hours” event hosted by Hillside Medical Park from 5 — 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20.

Hillside Surgery Center is a joint venture between physicians and LRGHealthcare and now provides ophthalmic, ENT, plastic surgery in addition to the orthopedic and pain procedures offered for over 10 years.

The newly expanded facility now has two operating rooms as well as a minor procedure room with 10 surgical bays for preparing patients prior to surgery and for recovering patients prior to discharge.

“The new operating room was developed with the orthopedic specialty in mind. This has allowed us to expand our range of surgical procedures performed at the Surgery Center to include minimally invasive procedures,” said John Grobman, MD, medical director of the Center. The Minor Procedure room offers state-of-the-art equipment and a dedicated C-Arm for pain procedures.

“As a result of the expansion, we have expanded our surgical capabilities at the Center and now have five specialties operating at the facility,” added Ellen Wolff RN, MS, the Center’s chairman of the Board.

Door prizes, refreshments and tours will be available at the “Business After Hours” event. All are welcome to attend. For a virtual tour of Hillside Surgery Center, visit www.hillsidesurgercenter.com.

‘Moby Dick! The Musical’ to be performed at Sant Bani School in Sanbornton April 21 — 23 SANBORNTON — “Moby Dick! The Musical” will be performed at Sant Bani School’s Studio Theater at 7 p.m. on Thursday — Saturday, April 21 — 23.

The wacky campy version of Melville’s classic tale, which was a cult hit in England, is directed by Mary Randall Vaiden, whose past Sant Bani credits include “Guys and Dolls,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” and “Brutebeast.”

“Moby Dick! The Musical” is set at St. Godley’s School for Girls, which is about to close its doors due to lack of funds. Fortunately, one of the girls (Isabel Bogacz) has just finished writing a surefire hit musical that might save the day.

The headmistress (in a gender-bending performance by Marc Gonzalez) nabs the role of Ahab for herself, then leads her wayward girls, a couple of boys they have sneaked in (Caleb Jaster and Adison

Lintner), a somewhat deranged janitor (Dylan Dinger), and a security guard (faculty member Jonathan Powell) in a hastily put-together production as a last-ditch effort to save the school.

The “Moby Dick!” production team includes parent Irina Kirilenko (accompanist and vocal coach), as well as Libby Danahy, parent of an alum, wife of a longtime staff member, and current Sant Bani piano teacher. Danahy will serve as vocal coach and rehearsal accompanist. Department Head Craig Jaster is technical director and will play bass and lead the pit band. Rose Marie Marinace, parent and teacher, provides her dance expertise for the dance sequences. Students are working on set and props under art teacher Tina Busch.

Tickets are $6 for adults; $3 for seniors and students.

For information call 934-4240 or visit www.santbani.org.

GILFORD — The Belknap Range Trail Tenders (BRATTS) will hold their first annual meeting at the Public Library at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 21.

BRATTS, led by Hal Graham and his wife, Peg, is an all-volunteer organization that rebuilds and maintains trails in the Belknap State Forest, Gunstock, and the surrounding area, coordinating all trails issues with the Division of Forests and Lands.

Graham’s trail maintenance training began in 1979 when he started the New Hampshire Chapter Volunteer Crew, a division of the Appalachian Mountain Club. He learned proper trail maintenance from some of the most knowledgeable men in the field while working side by side with them on the trails of the White Mountains.

Graham is also a founder of the trail maintenance organization, Trailwrights, which formed in 1987 and has evolved into an educational organization

working with the U.S. Forest Service, state parks, conservations groups, Gunstock, and private land owners. Graham also started and coordinates the Adopt-a-Trail program, which oversees the care of 21 trails in the Belknap Mountain Range, one of which has been adopted by Graham himself.

BRATTS volunteers are of all ages and backgrounds. They maintain local hiking trails, help to arrest erosion, remove blown-down trees from trails, and add color blazes and rock formations called cairns, which aid hikers as they follow trails. Trail crews, made up of trail adopters, provide assistance with difficult trail work and tasks that require special skills or tools.

All work is done under Graham’s guidance to ensure that maintenance is performed according to state management practices for hiking trails and is consistent with maintenance performed throughout the state. see next page

Among the topics are the work of Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization and implementation of the recent Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START).

“Now, more than ever, it’s important that the citizens of New Hampshire strive to understand the world around them,” said Anna Haigh, executive director of the WACNH. “That’s why we’re so excited to be working with partners such as Plymouth State University, with the support of the Sidore Foundation, to bring compelling programs to New Hampshire communities.”

Col. Klass served in the U.S. Air Force for more than 22 years, retiring in 1980. His decorations include the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Legion of Merit, and Purple Heart. He currently resides in Arlington, Va., and currently serves as President for the Veterans’ Alliance for Security and Democracy (VetPAC).

Dr. Helfand is a Specialist in Emergency Medicine in Springfield, MA, and a co-founder and former president of the National Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR).

The program is free and open to the public.

For more information, call Anna Haigh at 3147970 or Filiz Otucu at 535-3068. from preceding page All are welcome, and those who are interested in learning more about the art of trail maintenance are urged to attend. For more information, call Hal or Peg Graham at 286-3506 or e-mail halpeg76@metrocast.net.

The store, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, features organically grown food items, products made from recycled and earth-friendly materials, locally grown locally made items, and Fair Trade certified products.

Ana Gourlay has owned the store since 2004, and will provide free refreshments and samples of her store’s products.

“These ‘Meet ‘N Greets’ provide an opportunity for our locally-owned member businesses to showcase what they have to offer our community and allows business owners to network with one another to help support each other’s efforts,’’ said Randy Bullerwell of All My Life Jewelers, president of BIBA, a nonprofit coalition dedicated to promoting locally-owned independent businesses in the Lakes Region.

Friends of BIBA Cards may can be purchased for a onetime charge of $10 at All My Life Jewelers, The Insurance Outlet, Sunflower Natural Foods, and Mainstay Technologies. Cardholders are urged to visit www.bibanh.org for current specials being offered at 40 member businesses.

Amy Casey, Ana Gourlay, owner of Sunflower Natural Foods, and Melissa Momson, master herbalist, prepare to host members of the Belknap Independent Business Alliance (BIBA) at a “Meet ‘N Greet” at the store to be held from 6 — 8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 19.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis they must be very special for you to trust them with intimate knowledge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The meal always tastes better when you’re hungry. This principle applies to your life today in ways that are not related to food. You’ll do something because you want to and for no other reason.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Pick up the phone -- it’s your magic portal to the life you want. Call friends and strangers alike. Make your pitch.

Talk about what you want. You’ll schmooze your way into a sweet deal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You sense what’s on the horizon for your group. Also, you get the feeling that you can do what others cannot. It’s why you should take the lead. You’re more qualified than you think.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be met with a completely new circumstance. This fresh challenge jolts all of your senses wide-awake. And though you may not be sure how to handle it, you’ll learn as you go.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your approach may be contrary to the one that is popular, and that’s precisely why you’ll succeed. You’ll stick out in a very positive way. You’ll quickly gain mass favor.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 19).

This year you’ll go where you couldn’t go before. A skilled diplomat, you’ll make friends in high places and enjoy exclusive and expensive arrangements.

Events in June lead to advancement of your social and financial plans. You’ll have an opportunity to improve the life of a friend or family member. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 1, 24 and 19.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Be bold, and don’t look back. You’ll still get the lesson. Your subconscious mind is processing everything you’ve done, even when your conscious mind hasn’t gotten around to it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It bothers you when you know you have yet to win someone over -- but it shouldn’t.

Not everyone is winnable. Concentrate on those who are responsive to you, and you will prosper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will play a game that looks easy but isn’t at all. Talk to someone who knows this game better than you do. Also, you are wise to respond to feedback, both verbal and nonverbal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is neither the best circumstance you could have hoped for, nor the worst you’ve seen. Before you go to extremes, determine what is necessary. Appropriately moderate action will bring you success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even the very best ideas wear thin at some point.

The law of diminishing returns sets in, novelty wears thin, and efforts lose their initial “wow” factor. If you know when to quit, you’ll go out on top.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will make a memorable impression when you concentrate your efforts. Do one thing better than everyone else. You already sense what “your thing” is going to be, and you’re right. Follow that gut feeling.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not an open book, but you do reveal secrets judiciously. What you share with others in confidence makes them feel important. They understand that

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, April 19, the 109th day of 2011. There are 256 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 19, 1861, a week after the Civil War began, President Abraham Lincoln authorized a blockade of Southern ports.

On this date: In 1775, the American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington and Concord.

In 1933, the United States went off the gold standard.

In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces.

In 1951, General Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bid farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.”

In 1961, the Federal Communications Commission authorized regular FM stereo broadcasting starting on June 1, 1961.

In 1971, the West African nation of Sierra Leone was declared a republic.

In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; dozens of people, including sect leader David Koresh, were killed.

In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh was later convicted of federal murder charges and executed.)

In 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected pope in the first conclave of the new millennium; he took the name Benedict XVI. One year ago: The U.S. and Iraq claimed a major victory against al-Qaida, saying their forces had killed the terror group’s two top figures in an air and ground assault on their safe house near former President Saddam Hussein’s hometown.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Hugh O’Brian is 86. Actress Elinor Donahue is 74. Rock musician Alan Price (The Animals) is 69.

Comedy night to raise funds for Kidworks Learning Center MEREDITH — Kidworks Learning Center will present a Comedy Night fundraiser at Church Landing beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 22.

Sponsored by The Inns & Spa at Mill Falls and Meredith Village Savings Bank, the event proceeds will go toward improving the Kidworks Learning Center facility and future programs.

The evening will begin with a cash bar followed by an 8 p.m. comedy show featuring Tom Hayes and Rob Steen. By day, Hayes is an executive with more than 20 years of sales and management experience. By night, he is a quick-witted performer whose act is a combination of magic, comedy, and salesmanship. A winner of Showtime TV’s “Funniest Person in Massachusetts” award, Hayes has performed at the Comedy Connection and Nick’s Comedy Stop in Boston, Catch a Rising Star in New York, and Second City in Chicago.

A comedian for nearly 20 years, Steen got his start as a street performer in Boston at the age of 12, using his skills as a juggler and improv performer. Since then, he has kept a full calendar of more than 350 shows per year and has also been featured on several TV shows including “The Late Show with Dave Letterman.” Artfully blending audience participation with a mix of comical situations and hilarious observations, Steent has been compared to Robin Williams due to his fast-paced delivery and quick wit.

Tickets to the show are $20 per person and include a two-for-one dinner entrée coupon (valid for use on April 22) for one of several Meredith eateries: the Lakehouse, CAMP, Lago, Mame’s, or Giuseppe’s.

Tickets may be purchased at Innisfree Bookstore or Meredith Mobil Station. Special guest-room rates are available upon request.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 19, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My mother is bipolar with schizophrenic tendencies. My childhood was difficult. Days consisted of her drinking, gambling, being promiscuous and inviting homeless people to live with us. Mom would have conversations with herself for hours and roam the yard naked. She tore down walls and did things that made no sense, like gathering twigs to make gifts for people.

Mon’s condition has gotten worse over the years, and she can become physically violent. She is frequently taken by the police to the mental hospital, where doctors force her to take her meds. She then returns to normal society until she has another “spell.” This has gone on my entire life.

None of the family has the heart to put her in a permanent facility, because she still has moments of normalcy. As soon as I turned 18, I ran 2,000 miles away because I could no longer handle being around her. The family nearby continues to suffer tremendously, including my sister, who recently had a miscarriage. No doubt the stress was a factor.

I have a toddler and another child on the way. The last time Mom came out to visit, she completely lost it. She took off and was later found living by a river. What do I tell my children about their grandmother? Living with her was traumatic when I was a child, and I don’t want my children exposed to her. It terrifies me. Any advice? -- No Signature Dear No: When you were a child, you didn’t understand your mother’s illness, so naturally, it frightened you. You are more aware now and can explain it to your children so they can be sympathetic from a safe distance. You should never leave them alone with her, but they can certainly see their grandmother in short, supervised visits, with whatever restrictions you deem necessary for their emotional health.

Contact NAMI (nami.org) at 1-800-950-NAMI (1-800-9506264) for suggestions and assistance.

Dear Annie: What do you think of a daughter who asks her 88-year-old mother to pay for room and board to live in her own house?

I gave my daughter my life savings of $10,000 to help buy the house, which was supposed to be my house, too. I paid $500 a month to her and her boyfriend. My daughter has a good job, and so does her boyfriend, who, by the way, is still married to someone else.

Nothing I said or did was right. When I couldn’t drag a heavy hose around the big yard to water the plants, she accused me of letting the plants die. I endured her abuse for three long months, and then to her surprise, I moved out of “her” house and into a senior apartment retirement complex.

What bliss! But I am heartsick that my daughter doesn’t appreciate anything I have done for her. Where did I go wrong?

-- Achy Breaky Heart Dear Achy: Paying toward the expenses of a house in which you live is not unreasonable, although your daughter seems overly critical and less than generous. There are not always clear reasons why kids turn out the way they do. We’re glad you have found better accommodations. You made the right choice.

Dear Annie: This is for “Proud Parent,” the single dad who shares his bathroom with his teenage son. Before everyone lived in houses with multiple bedrooms and baths, people shared a single bathroom. And families got ready in the morning by sharing that one bathroom.

His family is incredibly narrow-minded and misinformed if they think he can make his son gay. They need something else to discuss at family get-togethers. Better to share an Easter ham between father and son than share a table with that bunch of turkeys. -- Mom in the John
