$1M orthopedic-surgery robot symbol of LRGHealthcare’s drive to provide superior care for locals & attract paying customers from afar By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Lakes Region General Hospital is one of some 130 hospitals in the country and the only one in Northern New England to offer MAKOplasty, a surgical procedure for partial knee and total hip replacement performed with
the aid of a robotic arm fitted with a small burr. The $1-million investment in robotic medical technology is the most exotic of a handful of programs, including a weight loss center and walk-in clinic, LRGHealthcare has introduced to generate the financial horsepower to support the broad range of
medical services the community requires. Approximately a fifth of the patients at the two hospitals operated by the company — Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Regional Hospital — are enrolled in Medicaid, a share likely to rise if the state opts to expand Medicaid enroll-
ment. With reimbursement rates below actual costs, LRGHealthcare incurred $28.9-million in costs providing governmentsponsored care in 2012. Henry Lipman, senior vicepresident of LRGHealthcare, said “it’s a financial strategy,” explaining that the new prosee rOBOT page 9

The concessions stand building is part of the Bank of New Hampshire Stadium, an athletic complex currently being constructed behind the school. When finished, the facility will be the best of its kind in the region and one of the best
high school athletic facilities in the state.

Rescue crews still looking for survivors of Texas plant explosion
WEST, Texas (AP) — Rescuers searched the smoking remnants of a Texas farm town Thursday for survivors of a thunderous fertilizer plant explosion, gingerly checking smashed houses and apartments for anyone still trapped in debris while the community awaited word on the number of dead. Initial reports put the fatalities as high as 15, but later in the day, authorities backed away from any estimate and refused to elaborate. More than 160 people were hurt. A breathtaking band of destruction extended for blocks around the West Fertilizer Co. in the small community of West. The blast shook the ground with the strength of a small earthquake and crumpled dozens of homes, an apartment complex, a school and a nursing home. Its dull boom could be heard dozens of miles away from the town about 20 miles north of Waco. Waco police Sgt. Wilsee WEST page 15

FBI releases photos of 2 Boston bomb suspects BOSTON (AP) — The FBI released photos and video Thursday of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and asked for the public’s help in identifying them, zeroing in on the two men on surveillance-camera footage less than three days after the deadly attack. The photos depict one man in a dark baseball cap and the other in a white cap worn backward. The men were seen walking one behind the other in the crowd, and the one in the white hat was seen setting down a backpack at the site of the second explosion, said Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston. “Somebody out there knows these individuals as
friends, neighbors, co-workers or family members of the suspects. Though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with information to come forward and provide it to us,” DesLauriers said. The images were released hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the three people killed and more than 180 wounded in the twin blasts Monday at the marathon finish line. The two men — dubbed Suspect 1 (in the dark hat) and Suspect 2 (in the white hat) — are considered armed and extremely dangerous, see SUSPECTS page 12

Senate Republicans unite to deny repeal of biz/ed tax credit program CONCORD (AP) — Repealing New Hampshire’s controversial business education tax credit, a legislative priority for Gov. Maggie Hassan and fellow Democrats, ran headlong into the resistance of Senate Republicans who used their slim majority Thursday to block those efforts. The Senate voted 13-11 along party lines to take no action on a bill to repeal the program giving businesses a tax credit
for donating to a scholarship organization that sends students to private and religious schools. The tax credit was originally passed into law last session when Republicans controlled both houses of the Legislature over a veto by former Democratic Gov. John Lynch. Republicans are adamant that the program provides educational choice to lowincome students who would otherwise not

Young Rd. fire said not a suspicious one BELMONT — The investigation of what caused a three-alarm fire on Young Road Wednesday evening has been completed and it has been determined that the fire was not of suspicious origin. Lt. Greg Bavis of the Belmont Fire Department said that the exact cause has been determined but that information can only be released by Fire Chief David Parenti, who was not available late yesterday afternoon. Originally believed to have been in Gilford, the fire badly damaged the second and third floors of a large 4-unit apartment structure built atop a large 20-foot high garage which was used as a workshop area. Gilford Fire Chief Stephen Carrier, who directed firefighting operations, issued a statement late Wednesday night after the fire was brought under control saying that after it was determined that the building was located just over the town line in Belmont, control of the scene was turned over to the Belmont Fire Department. Carrier said that responding com-
panies had been advised that an occupant of the building was trapped on the second floor. Before they arrived another phone call indicated that the occupant had been able to jump from the second floor. ‘’Obviously the occupant who jumped was extremely lucky to get out of the building. His only exit to the ground was completely engulfed in flames. He jumped from the deck onto a dump truck parked below to escape the flames and smoke,’’ said Carrier. No other occupants of the building, which is owned by James Cookman, Jr., were home at the time the fire broke out. Firefighters from eight communities were at the scene of the fire, which was first reported at 6:30 p.m. and brought under control at 8:18 p.m. Carrier said that all the crews worked extremely well. ‘’This was a tremendous stop considering the amount of fire we had showing when we arrived, the remote location and the size of the building,’’ said Carrier. — Roger Amsden

Will GOP embrace amnesty? During President Eisenhower’s first term, 60 years ago, the United States faced an invasion across its southern border. Illegal aliens had been coming since World War II. But, suddenly, the number was over 1 million. Crime was rising in Texas. The illegals were taking the jobs of U.S. farm workers. Under Gen. Joseph May Swing, the Immigration and Naturalization Service launched “Operation Wetback” and began rounding up and deporting Mexican bordercrossers by ship and bus. By the end of Ike’s second term, illegal entries had fallen by 90 percent. Eisenhower, who had tapped his nuclear hole card twice — first, to force the Chinese to agree to a truce in Korea, then to halt their shelling of the offshore islands in 1958 — was a no-nonsense president. Measured by population and gross national product, Eisenhower’s America was but half the size of today’s America. Yet, in the 1950s, we were in many ways a stronger and more self-confident country. We had universal military service, and few complained. As for the deportation of the Mexicans, they had broken in, they did not belong here, and they were going back. End of discussion. Contrast the rigorous response of Ike’s America to an invasion across our southern border to the handwringing moral paralysis of our political elite in dealing with 11-12 million illegal aliens in our midst. We are to stop using terms like illegal aliens, we are told. For it shows insensitivity. And compassion commands that we bring these folks “out of the shadows” and “put them on a path to citizenship.” One understands Democrats’ motives in pushing this amnesty. Perhaps nine of 10 illegals are from Third World countries, and folks of Asian, African and Hispanic descent voted 4-to-1 Democratic in 2012. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Democrats are writing an immigration bill that will create millions of new citizens who will vote to bury the Party of Ronald Reagan forever. But why are Republicans collaborating in erecting the scaffolding on which their party is to be hanged? A year ago, the GOP platform declared, “We oppose amnesty because it would have the effect of encouraging illegal immigration and would give an unfair advantage to those who have broken our laws.” What has changed since then? Yet, today, with Cuban-American Sen. Marco Rubio providing cover — a “very positive force,” purrs President Obama — Republicans are about to trash their platform and vote an amnesty for 11-12 million illegals. Why? One reason is the fear, bordering on panic, since Mitt Romney lost the Hispanic vote 71 to 27. Repub-
licans attribute their unpopularity among Latinos to their opposition to amnesty, rather than their commitment to peel back the social programs on which minorities heavily depend. Another force for amnesty is corporate America. Thousands of businesses have hired illegals in violation of U.S. law. Amnesty for their illegal workers means, de facto, amnesty for them. Moreover, U.S. corporations and agribusiness also want the right to import foreign workers. And under this new immigration bill, H1-B visas for highly skilled engineers and computer programmers will double to 110,000 a year, and the cap can rise to 180,000. Visas for H-2A agricultural workers will go to 337,000 over three years. Silicon Valley is not interested in middle-aged Americans who lost jobs in defense industries. They want young foreign students with newly minted advanced degrees, who will work for less. Thus, with 14 percent of our U.S. labor force — more than 21 million Americans — unemployed, working part-time but seeking full-time work or having stopped looking, Congress is going to vote an amnesty for 12 million illegals and bring in a million new immigrants a year — and hand them green cards. What happened to putting our own country and people first? Moreover, under the new law, unlimited visas will be issued for spouses, children and parents of permanent residents and citizens. With all these workers and dependents pouring in, the downward pressure on U.S. wages, stagnant since Gerald Ford was president, will intensify. And the steady rise in the scores of millions of beneficiaries of social welfare programs will continue. What do Republicans get in return for capitulating and embracing amnesty? The Democrats solemnly promise to secure the border this time. In short, the administration will do its duty and protect the states from another invasion, if the Republican Party will abandon its principled opposition to amnesty. The Republicans will be faithless to those who voted for them on a pledge not to support amnesty, if only Obama will promise a good-faith effort to do his constitutional duty. Prediction: Once word goes out that the illegals will no longer be sent back, there will commence a new stampede to the border. And once the new law is on the books, Democrats will move to truncate the time for the former illegals to become U.S. citizens. And Republicans who resist will be accused of being anti-Hispanic, and will then do what comes naturally — capitulate again.
LETTERS Year-Round Library has already raised $10k; join our 400 Club To the editor, We are pleased to announce that since a new fund raising goal of $45,000 was established on March 13th in order to keep the Gilmanton Year-Round Library open beyond Nov. 1st over $10,000 has been raised through donations. One fund raising initiative is the 400 Club. This is an opportunity for 400 people to donate $100. To date 36 people have already signed on. Remember, obligations of membership are simple: promise to inform neighbors and friends about the library and urge them to support the Library as a vital asset to the town. Another fund raising opportunity is to donate the dollar value your taxes
would have been if the library had received town funding. Some supporters have doubled that amount to cover a neighbor who might not be able to afford a donation at this time. The GYRL board and staff thank all those who have already donated to this important cause. If you still haven’t had a chance to contribute, you may send a check made payable to the Gilmanton Year-Round Library, or if you prefer, visit our web site, www. gyrla.org, where you can make a donation through your PayPal account or with your credit card. Donations are tax deductible. Board of Directors Gilmanton Year-Round Library
Right out of Democrat’s playbook: blame Bush or declare racism To the editor, George Maloof of Plymouth believes that the 2nd amendment is RACIST. He offers no explanation of how the constitutional right of the people to keep and bear arms could possibly be racist. No particular race or gender is excluded from the 2nd Amendment. It does not discriminate or favor one race over the other. I wish Mr. Mallof would explain his thought process. He must be working out of the Democrat playbook, you know, either blame Bush or declare racism. Wow, that’s stretch for even for a Democrat. Mr. Maloof believes that all of our freedoms are derived from the freedom of speech and that the 2nd Amendment doesn’t actually protect
our freedoms. He cutely uses the old adage of “the pen is mightier than the sword” to prove his point. Why don’t we just use our mighty pen to write a letter asking that violent criminals just stop committing acts of violence? That should do the trick! Here in the REAL world we have REAL threats, and those threats justify more than Mr. Maloof’s mighty pen. Here is an old adage for you George, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. The truth is, the only thing that can stop a tyrannical government from stripping away all of our freedoms is the armed citizenry. Is that racist? Kevin Leandro Gilford
Not one good reason to allow unfettered access to weapons To the editor, The reason there is gun violence is because there are plenty of guns available to anyone who wants one, and in this case I agree with Rubio — background checks and mental illness treatment are not going to solve the problem. The Second Amendment was written in a time when there was no standing army, when a well regulated militia was necessary for the defense of the country, and when a foreign country had tried to disarm the citizens for the purpose of subjugating them. The crackpot theories that this government is trying to
have a standing army to defend this country. Assault weapons are fun to use and can be stored in secure places outside the home (a.k.a. powder houses) and people can be registered to have a weapon and each weapon can be registered for the use of the person. The Second Amendment is being interpreted by 20th century ideas and for people who have suffered because of it there is not one good reason to continue to allow people, today, to have unfettered access to weapons that are destroying lives.

To the editor, The Laconia City Council is considering a new tax under the guise of a user fee called Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT). PAYT is nothing but a scam — double taxation which claims the program will save taxpayers money by increasing revenues. This is how the recyclable program works according to an article by Shira Schoenberg in the Concord Monitor on June 27, 2009, when the City of Concord was considering the same PAYT program: “The way the program works is the city has a contract with the South Carolina Company called Waste Zero. Waste Zero manufactures the bags and recruits stores to sell them. Consumers then pay $1 for a 15-gallon trash bag and $2 for a 30-gallon bag. The stores get none of that money. Instead, the stores must send all the money they collect from the bags to Waste Zero, which takes a cut and gives the rest of the money to the city. Mark Dancy, president of Waste Zero, said his company typically keeps 20 to 25 cents for each large bag.” Lets look at some of the propaganda put out by those in Laconia city government — City Manager Scott Myers, Mayor Michael Seymour, Councilors Henry Lipman, Matt Lahey and Bob Hamel — who are in favor of this trash scam. In an article by John Koziol in the Laconia Citizen on March 9, City Manager Scott Myers, “calculated that Laconia could reduce the cost of curbside trash pickup by $567,000. He assumes that 378,000 PAYT bags would need to be sold at $1.75 each, which would generate $661,500 in revenue. The revenue would cover the cost of the city buying the bags and their disposal.” Lets assume the cost to buy the bags from Waste Zero is 25 cents a bag X 378,000 bags = $94,500 that would = $567,000 in revenue.

Actually, it is gun control laws that are racist at their roots To the editor, I am writing in response to George Maloof’s letter about the Second Amendment being racist. It was apparent to me that Mr. Maloof has little understanding of the Second Amendment, the 1860s, or the history of gun control laws. First, when the 13th Amendment that ended slavery was ratified, there was no possibility that the 2nd Amendment could or would be abolished. Most of the populace of the United States was armed, it being just after the Civil War. Many were veterans of that war, both Union and Confederate. The frontier was still open, territories will still being settled, and law enforcement was spotty at best. There was no way the states would have ratified a repeal of the 2nd Amendment under those conditions, Mr. Maloof’s
contentions to the contrary. Second, gun control laws were first prevalent in the South after the Civil War. These laws were aimed at keeping the former slaves from being able to arm themselves. This was done in order to head off possible retaliation by blacks against whites, or at least that’s how the idea was sold. A less openly known reason was that it prevented blacks from being able to protect themselves against the predations of whites trying to “keep them in their place.” Mr. Maloof, the 2nd Amendment isn’t racist and never has been. It is the gun control laws you seem to love that are racist at their roots. Perhaps you should do a little more historical research before making such ill informed accusations. Chan Eddy Gilford
Granite State is ashamed of Sen. Ayotte for her votes on gun bills To the editor, Here is a letter sent to Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH). When you chose to vote so independently opposite of the 90 percent of people in the U.S. — not just N.H. — you did not represent women, you did not represent children, you did not represent the law or police, you did represent hunters or even many NRA members. You did not even represent yourself; you represented 10 percent
of the people, gun manufacturers and the NRA — for their money. You and Senator Reed (R-RI) were the only ones in all seven states in the northeast (ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI, NY) to vote against S. 649 for background checks on private gun sales. New Hampshire is ashamed of YOU! Dorothy Duffy Laconia
12 — “Lipman Irate over Bestway’s Recycling Proposals” — Archie St. Hillaire of Bestway Disposal Services who has the trash pickup contract with the city says that, “PAYT generally boost recycling to near 40-percent of the total volume of solid waste in order to reach rate recyclables would have to be collected weekly, increasing the annual cost of collection from $125,000 to $215,000.” That’s an increase in cost per year of $90,000, taking the assumed revenue of $567,000 minus $90.000 = $477,000 real revenue. What is the cost of disposing of 378,000 trash bags? What is the cost to administrate this program? Remember all revenues come from the taxpayers. Let’s look at the supposed savings. In an article in The Daily Sun by Michael Kitch on March 8, “PAYT is projected to save $286,000 by diverting recyclables from the solid waste stream and spare $156,000 in funding from property taxes.” This $156,000 is what the taxpayers are going to save after they pay $661,500 for Trash Bags. Which means this Pay-As-YouThrow Scam is going to cost the taxpayers $505,500 a year. Even if this proposed enterprise fund were true, the saving on your property tax bill would only be Pennies per $100,000 on your tax bill. Renters will be hurt the most from this scheme; they pay property taxes through their rent. The city doesn’t receive any money from the collected recyclables. The next step in this scam is trash metering. The City of Laconia runs two enterprise funds, Water and Sewer which offer the residents the best quality at the lowest prices. PAYT will force us to pay $1.75 a bag for a product only worth 13 cents a bag. The answer is to run the recycling truck every week and the recycling numbers will increase. David Gammon Laconia

Those weren’t ‘barbs’, they were judicious observations To the editor, In reading the article on the April 17 Belknap County Convention meeting, I noted the rather puzzling headline which stated that the commissioners and delegates traded barbs. Not so much, actually, as the head of the convention and the head of the executive committee acted very professionally despite the base ad hominem attacks sent in their direction by the commissioners.
Now, if they had made an observation that there has not been so much huffing and puffing by the commissioners, all in vain, since the little pigs upgraded from straw to brick — that would be a barb. This example may clarify the difference between a barb and the judicious observations made by Representatives Worsman and Tilton. Rep. Dick Burchell Gilmanton

Convenience Care, the walk-in clinic that opened in November, serves as a bridge between primary care and emergency services, by offering an alternative to both at less cost than either. Unlike an office visit, no appointment is necessary and unlike the emergency room, patients are spared long waits for treatment. The clinic operates from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. seven days a week, staffed by a physician, nurse practitioner and two nurses, in space a few steps from the main entrance to the hospital — housing a reception area, registration desk and five private treatment rooms as well as laboratory and x-ray services.

Woman found under the bed free on bail LACONIA — Mackenzie Seely, the woman arrested on Wednesday after breaking into a home in Lakeport, is free on $5,000 personal recognizance bail following her arraignment on charges of theft by unauthorized taking in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday. Earlier this month Seely, 24, of 541 Dane Harbor Road, Center Harbor allegedly took a 2007 GMC Sierra pickup truck and a black iPad belonging to her father, James T. Seely, of Meredith. She was wanted by Meredith Police on outstanding warrants when Laconia Police responded to a burglary in progress at 19 Appleton Street shortly after 1 p.m. on Wednesday. With officers surrounding the
house, Seely, who apparently entered through a rear window, texted the owner asking him to tell the police the house was empty. Through the homeowner the police were able to identify Seely and call her, but she did not respond. After exhausting all means of reaching Seely, officers obtained a key and entered the house with sidearms drawn and the Gilford K-9 at hand. Seely was found under the bed in the master bedroom and arrested. In addition, to the outstanding warrants from Meredith, Seely was wanted by Gilford Police for driving after revocation. Charges against her for criminal trespass and resisting arrest arising from the incident at Appleton Street were dropped.
GOP from page one not seeking to undermine the county GOP, but instead to ensure that “the voices of conservatives are heard and not muted or distorted. We will be working inside our party — the Republican Party — to ensure stronger conservative representation. We’re not trying to make waves for any Republican organization,” she said. “We are about 65 strong,” said Cormier, who will formally launch the organization by holding a “Family
Fun Day” from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 18 at Funspot in Laconia. The event is free to the public and will feature “everything American,” including hot dogs and apple pie, while punctuating political discussion with entertainment, raffles and activities for children. At the “Honor Your Oath” rally in Concord last weekend, Cormier told the crowd of her initiative and proclaimed “our goal is to flood our party, like it or not, with conservatives at the local level. That local level will move up to the county level and that county level,” she continued, glancing over her shoulder at the Statehouse, “will move right back into this House. We need to flip this House!” Cormier said that Belknap County Conservative Republicans will recruit candidates for both local and state offices. “I’ve been doing that for months,” she said, adding that she welcomes primaries. “Competition is good,” she remarked. “It keeps things honest.” Although Cormier has no intention of leaving the GOP, she said that she no longer financially supports the county committee. see next page

BUILDING from page one come. And, excepting only the foundation and the electrical work, it will have been built by students in the Huot Regional Technical Education Center’s plumbing and heating, and building and construction classes. The students’ involvement in the project will save the city tens of thousands of dollars in labor costs. Meanwhile, for the students who provided that labor, they’ve gained insight and experience into a trade that they will be able to enter as soon as they graduate. The building referred to on plans as the Concession Stand is more than its title implies. The 50 feet by 25 feet, single-story building includes restrooms, a ticket booth, an indoor kitchen with counters, sinks, fridges and freezers, and an outdoor cooking area that will be fitted for gas grills. Mike Schofield, the school’s plumbing and heating teacher, said the students began working on the project in March and are pushing to put the finishing touches in place by the last day of school. Several students have offered to return to the job site during summer vacation to finish the job, he said, if there’s still work to do. “This is real work, hands-on experience. This is what they’ll do if they go into the field... They’re going to do soup to nuts, everything,” said Schofield. As in many of the Huot programs, students both plumbing and heating, and building and construction, will graduate with the skills needed to begin a career in the trades. Schofield’s students, for example, will be eligible to become a plumber’s apprentice. Nate Desmarais, a senior from Belmont High School and one of the skilled students, is considering an apprenticeship in either plumbing or HVAC. Desmarais said he’s learned more working on the concession stand
than would have been possible in a classroom. “Anyone can throw a book at you,” he said, but it’s something different to do the work with his own hands. “I learn something new every day I come to this site.” Cassie Shults, a senior from Winnisquam High School and also a member of the plumbing and heating class, agreed. “You can read in a book how to solder, but until you get hands-on experience,” she said, it remains an abstract concept. By helping to build the concession stand, she turned the abstract into concrete. Shults, who is trying to decide whether to pursue a career in either plumbing or nursing, appreciated the opportunity to install the plumbing in a new construction, work which included steps she hadn’t done when helping her class to repair or maintain existing systems. “It’s those beginning steps that you don’t really see.” Building and construction teacher Matt Towle said that having the site behind the school has saved transportation time and costs. It is also a site that the students will likely revisit in later years, when they come to watch a high school game. Towle and Schofield estimated that the value of the labor provided by the students is easily in the tens of thousands of dollars. Towle added that Boulia-Gorrell Lumber Company “has been fantastic,” donating a crane for a day and providing an expert to instruct the students on the finer points of roof trusses. With the building taking shape, Towle said he’s been impressed with the dedication and attention to detail the students have brought to the task. “What we’re getting done in a pretty small amount of time is pretty great,” he said. Schofield noted that the young workers haven’t forgotten quality on their way to expeditiousness, either. “I’m extremely proud of what they’ve done — I’m amazed,” he said.

The Belknap County Conservative Republicans, Cormier said, will encourage conservatives to become engaged in local government by running for seats on boards of selectmen, budget committees and school boards. She said that conservatives were very successful in strengthening their presence in Alton at the town elections in March. “They’ve totally usurped local government,” she said. “That’s where we can make a real difference.”
Cormier attributed the setbacks the GOP suffered in the 2012 elections to the failure of Republican, particularly conservative Republicans, and independent voters to go to the polls. “A lot of conservatives were sitting on the sidelines, “ she said. “The moderate faction in the Republican Party is not truly representative of Republican voters. The Republicans can represent conservatives if conservatives get active.”

Daniel Nava had two RBIs while Saltalamacchia, Dustin Pedroia, Mike Napoli and Mike Carp each drove in a run. Indians manager Terry Francona, who managed in Boston for eight seasons and led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007, was swept in the first series against his former team. Cleveland has lost four straight. “If they pitch like that, they’re going to give a lot of people trouble,” Francona said. Zach McAllister (1-2) allowed three runs in five innings. Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth for his second save. The Red Sox are expected to have designated hitter David Ortiz in the lineup for the first time this season Friday in what surely will be a heartfelt evening as Boston continues the healing process after Monday’s tragedy.
SUSPECTS from page 2 DesLauriers said, and people who see them should not approach them. “Do not take any action on your own,” he warned. The break in the investigation came just days after the attack that tore off limbs, shattered windows and raised the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. FBI photo-analysis specialists have been analyzing a mountain of surveillance footage and amateur pictures and video for clues to who carried out the attack and why. Generally, law enforcement agencies release photos of suspects only as a last resort, when they need the public’s help in identifying or capturing someone. Releasing photos can be a mixed bag: It can tip off a suspect and deny police the element of surprise. It can also trigger an avalanche of tips, forcing police
to waste valuable time chasing them down. Within moments of the announcement, the FBI website crashed, perhaps because of a crush of visitors. In the images, both men appear to be wearing dark jackets. Suspect 1 appears to be wearing a backpack. The planting of the backpack is not depicted in the video footage that was made public. The FBI made no mention of the men’s height, weight or age range and would not discuss the men’s ethnicity. “It would be inappropriate to comment on the ethnicity of the men because it could lead people down the wrong path potentially,” said FBI agent Greg Comcowich, a spokesman for the Boston FBI office. The information on the first suspect was developed within a day or so before its release, DesLauriers said. Agent Daniel Curtin said the FBI did not issue the photos earlier because authorities wanted to be meticulous: “It’s important to get it right.”
NO REPEAL from page 2 fund K-12 education, diverting taxpayer dollars to religious and private schools with no standards or accountability puts an added burden on our communities and sends the wrong message to our young people,” she said in a statement. Though Thursday’s vote to set aside repeal in the Senate is a blow to Democrats, the fight over the education tax credit program isn’t over. House lawmakers included a provision repealing it in their companion bill to the budget, meaning repeal will come up again later in the session and could become
a bargaining chip in budget negotiations between the two chambers. Sen. Peggy Gilmore, D-Hollis, called the credit “terrible tax policy” that is overly complex and lacks transparency. Senate Republicans said that the tax credit isn’t being given a chance. The program is capped at $4 million for the first year, but thus far businesses have only donated $140,000. They said that sum isn’t larger because of the uncertainty created by repeal efforts.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Even after extending their winning streak to six games on Thursday, the Boston Red Sox had something more on their minds as they packed up for the flight home. They will reunite with their fans for the first time since Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon when they host the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. The Red Sox paid tribute to their home city by hanging a “617 Boston Strong” jersey in their dugout throughout their three-game sweep of the Indians. Clay Buchholz, Friday’s scheduled starter, is looking forward to taking the mound at Fenway Park. While their minds may have been on the tragedy in their home city, Red Sox outscored Cleveland 19-8 in the series with solid starting pitching, excellent work from the bullpen and timely hitting. Lester (3-0) held the Indians to two runs and four hits while Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a tiebreaking home run in the fourth.

Strikeout milestone imminent for Gilford softball pitcher After a pair of recent strong performances, Gilford High School softball pitcher Sydney Strout is on pace to reach the milestone of 500 strikeouts, an achievement she is on pace to reach during this afternoon’s scheduled home game against undefeated Farmington. The game starts at 4 p.m. and Strout needs nine Ks to become only the second pitcher in Gilford history to reach the mark. Pitcher Sydney Strout and the Gilford High School defense were just one hit away from a perfect game as Gilford went onto beat Somersworth 14-0 in 6 innings. The only Somersworth runner to reach first base did so in the 3rd inning. Gilford played flawless defense committing no errors and Sydney Strout struck out 11 batters, walking none and giving up the lone hit. The Eagles offense pounded out 9 hits, led by Alyssa Wilson, who went 3/3 with 4 RBI, Sydney Strout 3/4, Abby Harris hit a double and singles were hit by Kelsey Buckley and Caitlin Houston. Paige Laliberte had 3 RBI and Mollie Dignan 1 RBI. Gilford took advantage of 5 Somersworth errors, 4 walks and 8 wild pitches. Gilford scored 2 runs in the 2nd on 2 errors and an RBI single by Wilson. Gilford scored 1 more in the 3rd when Strout hit a single and scored on a Laliberte fielder’s choice. With a 3-0 lead Gilford exploded for 5 runs in the 4th on singles by Buckley, Wilson, and Strout as well as a sacrifice fly by Laliberte making the score 8-0 . Gilford scored one in the 5th making the score 9-0 when Mollie Dignan got on with an error and scored on a fielder’s choice. Gilford scored 5 more in the top of the 6th highlighted with Houston and Strout leading off with back to back singles. Houston scored on a Laliberte sacrifice fly and Strout scored on an Harris double. Wilson hit a 2 run single to give Gilford a 14-0 lead and end the game in 6 innings by the mercy rule. Gilford followed that effort by beating Inter-Lakes 11-0 on Wednesday. The win was the 1,000th varsity coaching victory for Gilford’s Joan Forge, who also coaches volleyball.
Laconia High School girls’ lacrosse gets wins over Gilford Laconia High School’s varsity and junior varsity teams each earned a win Tuesday when they hosted opponents from Gilford.

Four-star captain: Holmes leads LHS lacrosse BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Most teams have at least one player that hold a special rank on the team. Typically, they’re one of the team captains and have a regard among their team mates that is beyond a title. Kerri Howe, coach of the Laconia High School girls’ varsity lacrosse team, said she is enjoying this season the services of a particular veteran athlete, senior captain Victoria “Tori” Holmes, who has played four varsity sports this year and is a rare kind of leader among her peers. “It was my senior year and I wanted to go out with a bang,” said Holmes, who was a member of the school’s winter cheer team and in the fall was on both the cheer and soccer teams. She played three sports during her junior year. As a freshman and a sophomore, she only played two sports, but that was because she was also helping to coach cheer at the middle school and for an all-star cheer team. Holmes, who said she loves to be busy, plans to continue her athletic career beyond her high school years. She’ll be attending Plymouth State University next fall and has been invited to attend the soccer team’s preseason practices, beginning in mid-August. She also plans to try out for the university’s lacrosse team. Her extracurricular activities shouldn’t detract from her academic pursuits – at LHS, she managed to maintain a 3.7 grade point average while playing 11 sports seasons and coaching while an underclassman. After graduating from PSU, she’d like to be a high
school math teacher, a desire Holmes traced back to her freshman year when she became enamored of the subject while in teacher Matt Dubois’s class. She’s looked forward to every math class since then, she said. A career in high school teaching seems like a great fit for her. “It’s a perfect job. I like kids, and I want to coach.” Athletics are far more than just a past-time for Holmes. She has enjoyed the many friendships she’s made, and feels that competition reveals a part of a person that’s often invisible in everyday life. “People are really different on and off the field,” she said, adding that the rule applies to herself as well. “I’m really nice off the field but I’ve heard a lot of stories that when I’m on the field, people are scared of me.” “I love working out,” she said, explaining that exercise became therapeutic for her when grieving her father, who died four years ago. “It really helped me, because my dad passed away my freshman year. Whenever I thought of him, I went for a run and it cleared my mind,” she said. She remembers her father as someone who would provide encouragement and criticism in equal measure, whether he was talking with Holmes or with one of her three older brothers. “I loved that because it makes us better. He was always looking for us to do more.” Howe has known Holmes since she was a middle school athlete. Holmes, she said, isn’t the kind of athlete that comes around every year. “I’ve had the pleasure of coaching Tori for many years. She’s a natural leader, she challenges herself. She strives to make herself better and maker her team better... She’s the kind of kid that’s the reason I coach.”

SPORTS McCrea led the charge with 6 goals. Middie Sant Bani School starts women’s Bryce Nate Cammack got 3 of his own to go along with 4 assists. The defense was anchored by Michael Crowell lacrosse club; first game is Sat. Sant Bani School’s women’s lacrosse club is looking forward to playing its first ever match this weekend. Energy for the club began last spring when 8th grader Sophia Marinace came up with a proposal for the club team and got 17 signatures in less than 15 minutes. The administration approved, and the girls started fundraising in October, raising almost $1,000 through bake sales and lunch sales to pay for goalie equipment and two goals. Dick’s Sporting Goods was also a generous supporter. With 60 students in its high school, Sant Bani fields an impressive number of teams: cross-country, soccer, and field hockey in the fall, indoor track, basketball, and often both Nordic and Alpine ski teams in the winter, and track and field in the spring. The lacrosse club offers the students a new choice for the spring term, and the club has 15 players from grades 9-12; including every girl in the freshman class, so hopes for future growth are high. First-time coach, Rose Marie Marinace, sought advice and support from other local coaches, is now a Level I US Lacrosse certified coach, and has begun to learn the finer points of the game. “I only have two experienced players on the team, and I really appreciate the guidance they can give this first year. Most players weren’t completely sure what they’d gotten into, but they have pulled together and are excited for their first game against Holderness on Saturday, April 20,” Marinace said.
The Laconia Sachems U11 Lacrosse team opened their season this past weekend with a convincing win against counterparts from Litchfield. Due to inclement weather, the games were moved to New Hampton’s turf field, where the Sachems were right at home. Attack from preceding page defenders Jordan Lovely and Meya Minor. Handling the ball well in the midfield for the Sachems were Natalie Compton, Tori Holmes and Mackenzie Howe. Laconia’s scoring attack was lead by Gabby Smith, who scored six goals and had one assists. Howe had two goals and three assists, Holmes scored three times and recorded one assist, Danielle Cote had a pair of goals and a pair of assists, and Arianna Laliberte scored once. After Tuesday’s game, the LHS girls’ varsity lacrosse team had a record of one win, two losses.
Laconia High School girls’ junior varsity lacrosse team jumped out to an early lead then held off Gilford’s numerous comeback attempts in capping a 10-5 win. Laconia was lead by Abbie Crowell’s 4 goals and Teegan Stevens scored 2 goals. Laconia scoring was rounded out by Bleona Dreshaj’s 2 goals and single tallies from Maggie Randall and Isabelle Gorse.. Alexis Johnson and Gorse also stood out in setting up the offense. Goalie Lyndsey Paronto once again anchored the defense with several solid saves while in the net. Courtney Walker, Becky Kneuer and Randall helped keep Gilford’s offense in check.

Belmont girls’ lacrosse gets win against Pinkerton freshmen Allivia Burbank scored six times to lead the Belmont High School girls’ lacrosse team to a 12-10 victory over the Pinkerton Academy freshman team. The first half was evenly played with both sides having chances to score. Pinkerton was able to capitalize on their opportunities while the Belmont girls were stymied by brilliant goaltending. The Pinkerton netminder made several key stops to keep her team in the lead. The action went up and down the field with the teams trading offensive rushes and defensive stops. Pinkerton took a 6-2 lead into halftime. The second half started like the first. The teams traded goals until the Lady Red Raiders found their rhythm. The girls took a two goal lead with about eight minutes remaining in the game. After trading goals, and with several key savesby goalie Alexa Robbins in the final minute, Belmont held on for the 12–10 victory in their opening game of the 2013 season. In addition to Burbank’s six goals, Zoe Zeller scored three, Emily Ennis two, and Anna Scott added one. Goaltender Alexa Robbins turned aside 8 shots during the contest, several from point-blank range in the final minute. Maddi Blajda, Sarah Thayer, Maddy Borden, Jen Hamilton and Kayla Harpell played well in their first game. Kate Witschonke had a strong game helping to keep the ball on the offensive side of the field. Belmont’s next contest is at Kearsarge on Friday.

and Nate Papavlo. Goalie Alex Wescott was a wall for his first time in net. He stopped 12 shots while only allowing 2 short handed goals. The young Sachems looked to be in midseason form as they posted the 9-2 victory. Laconia Lacrosse Club thanked New Hampton for being gracious hosts on short notice.

WEST from page 2 liam Patrick Swanton described ongoing searchand-rescue efforts as “tedious and time-consuming,” noting that crews had to shore up much of the wreckage before going in. There was no indication the blast, which sent up a mushroom-shaped plume of smoke and left behind a crater, was anything other than an industrial accident, he said. The explosion was apparently touched off by a fire, but there was no indication what sparked the blaze. The company had been cited by regulators for what appeared to be minor safety and permitting violations over the past decade. The Wednesday night explosion rained burning embers and debris down on terrified residents. The landscape Thursday was wrapped in acrid smoke and strewn with the shattered remains of buildings, furniture and personal belongings. Firefighter Darryl Hall choked up as he described the search. “You’re strong through it because that’s your job. That’s what you’ve been trained to do. But you’re reminded of the tragedy and your family. And that it could be you,” Hall said. “Then it’s a completely different story.” While the community tended to its deep wounds, investigators awaited clearance to enter the blast zone for clues to what set off the plant’s huge stockpile of volatile chemicals. “It’s still too hot to get in there,” said Franceska Perot, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, later adding that she wasn’t sure when her team would be able to start its investigation. The precise death toll was uncertain. Three to five volunteer firefighters initially were believed to be among the dead, which authorities said could number as many as 15. But the state Department of Public Safety later said the number of fatalities couldn’t be confirmed. The Dallas Fire-Rescue Department said one of its off-duty firefighters, Capt. Kenny Harris, was among those killed. Harris — a 52-year-old married father of three grown sons — lived in West and had decided to lend a hand to the volunteers battling the blaze. The many injuries included broken bones, cuts and bruises, respiratory problems and minor burns. A few people were reported in intensive care and several more in critical condition. First-responders evacuated 133 patients from the nursing home, some in wheelchairs. Many were dazed and panicked and did not know what happened.

Calcium fertilized forests use more water according to new PSU and Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study PLYMOUTH — Bubbling brooks and streams are a scenic and much loved feature of forest ecosystems, but long-term data at the U.S. Forest Service’s Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest suggests that more productive forests might retain considerably less water, according to a study published recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Mark Green (Courtesy photo) Mark Green, an assistant professor at Plymouth State University and research hydrologist with the Forest Service’s Northern Research Station is the lead author for the study titled “Decreased Water Flowing from a Forest Amended with Calcium Silicate.” Acid rain during the 20th century caused widespread depletion of available soil calcium, an essential plant nutrient, throughout much of the industrialized world. In 1999, scientists at the Forest Service’s Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire restored soil calcium levels to pre-industrial levels in a small watershed in an effort to better understand the ecological consequences of the depletion of available soil calcium. Subsequent studies demonstrated that following the application of a finely ground and pel-

letized calcium silicate mineral called wollastonite, species such as red spruce and sugar maple experienced improved cold hardiness and less seedling mortality in areas where calcium was applied. When Green reviewed the long-term data several years later, he found something surprising about the 1999 study: within 5 months of the application of wollastonite across a 30-acre watershed, there was a substantial increase in forest water use compared to a nearby watershed that was not treated with calcium. “Our results in this study show that when we create a substantial increase in soil calcium, this forest responded by using more water, partly associated with increased growth. The result is that we see a change in forest hydrology,” Green said. “We still have to determine whether the prior decrease in soil calcium due to acid rain caused a proportional decrease in evapotranspiration and thus greater streamflow, and if that means that when forests recover from acid deposition we’ll see a decrease in water flowing in streams.” As the need for carbon sequestration, biofuels, and other forest products increases, the study suggests that there might be unintended consequences to enhancing ecosystems using fertilization. “Long-term ecological research is important to understanding the health and sustainability of the nation’s forests,” said Michael T. Rains, Director of the Northern Research Station. “With a network of more than 80 experimental forests located across the country and decades of monitoring data from this network, the Forest Service is contributsee next page

PSU Chorale presents Una Festa Musicale
PLYMOUTH — The 46-voice Plymouth State University Chorale will present its annual spring concert with guest conductor Eric Christopher Perry at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at the Silver Center for the Arts. The program will feature Adriano Banchieri’s madrigal cycle, Il Festino nella sera del giovedí grasso avanti cena (Party music before dinner on the evening of Fat Thursday). Composed in 1608, this twenty-madrigal cycle was intended for entertainment on Italy’s pre-Lenten feast day (similar to Mardi Gras here in the United States). The madrigals range from jovial to shatteringly beautiful, set to poetry about love and loss, animal sounds and of course, eating and drinking. The program will also include 20th century choral and solo musical theatre selections, with a special commission from Chicago-based arranger Jayson Keeton. Musicals on the program include Brigadoon, Into the Woods, Carnival, and Songs for a New World. Tickets for Una Festa Musical are $15-13 for adults, $13-11 for seniors and $11-9 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-ARTS or (800) 779-3869.

Volunteers needed for Belknap Mill’s History program for 4th graders LACONIA — The Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia will once again offer its Fourth Grade school program, titled My First Day of Work at the Mill. The ambitious program runs from May 1 to June 7. The event is under the direction of volunteer Helga Stamp, who works to coordinate the monthlong program. Schools from all over the state and beyond are invited to bus their fourth graders to the Belknap Mill for the history program; each school’s students spend the day in the Mill, immersed in the roles of former Mill workers. “We welcome volunteers for this year’s program,” says Stamp. “It’s a lot of fun and for those who cannot make a long-term volunteer commitment, it only requires helping in the month of May and into early June.” Volunteers are needed as role players or color group leaders for the school program. “Training will be provided, so all volunteers will feel comfortable with their assigned task,” adds Stamp. One volunteer who has gone above and beyond the call of duty is retired engineer Jon Pounds. Last year, he created a working model to show how the Mill distributed power before converting to electric generators. Pounds created a model that which helps teach children about mill power. The model is now encased in clear plexiglass and it is a permanent part of the Power House exhibit. Once children arrive at the Mill for the program (it runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.), they are divided into color groups and given period costumes of mill workers. Then they are given a nametag and a time card. “A student could be assigned the role of a 14 or 16 year old mill worker,” says Stamp. “They could be given the job of turner boy; when the Mill was in operation, young people could work part time in the mill at age 14 and at age 16, they could work full time. “Once they punch in, students are greeted by
Def Leppard and Slash coming to Meadowbrook July 15 GILFORD — Two powerhouses of rock, Def Leppard along with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, are coming to Meadowbrook on July 15 as part of the Eastern Propane Concert Series. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 19 at 10 a.m. and range from $39.75-$116. For tickets, call (603) 2934700 or log on to www.Meadowbrook.net. With 100 million records sold worldwide and two prestigious Diamond Awards to their credit, Def Leppard--Joe Elliott (vocals), Vivian Campbell (guitar), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick “Sav” Savage (bass) and Rick Allen (drums)—continues to be one of the most important forces in rock music. “It’s been an interesting road from the mid-90s up until now,” says Slash. “I never stopped to think, ‘What am I gonna do in the long term?’ Or ruminated on my solo career, where it was heading. I’ve just been jamming around, going wherever the muse has taken me. And this is the first time where I feel like I’m in the saddle and riding my own destiny with some genuine focus.” from preceding page required in both sessions. The cost for AARP members is $12 and $14 for non-members, payable the first day of class by cash or check. Members should bring AARP cards with them. Space is limited to 18 participants. To reserve a place, call 524-5600.
a role player/volunteer dressed as mill boss Mr. Morin. After this, they are sent to various stations around the building with their tour guide. Then they regroup for the ‘assembly line’ (it’s a simulated line) to learn the importance of team work.” After a lunch break, children listen to an impact segment, which teaches the importance of economics; when the mill did well, the community finances were better. The program covers math and social studies, both vital components of a fourth grade school curriculum. A training day takes place on Tuesday, April 30 at the Belknap Mill. It offers a refresher for returning volunteers and training for first-time volunteers for the program. Those who would like to learn more about becoming a volunteer, can contact the Belknap Mill at 5248813.

isn’t one. The future will reveal magical connections. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Something as simple as being prepared for the current temperature as well as for a change in the weather will contribute to your comfort and, by extension, your confidence and mood. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A big project seems to be taking forever. And yet, bit by bit, you are getting it done. So don’t lose heart. Believe in the practical magic of 10 minutes at a time. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You need to partner with someone who will question your ideas, thereby challenging them and making them stronger. Get an analytical friend to poke at your plans to make sure they will hold up. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 19). You’ll conquer the thing you’ve struggled with for years or change something you’ve disliked. Social luck is strong, and you will meet and mingle with helpful and powerful people over the next three months. July brings a windfall. New business is favored. The best months for travel and moves are August and November. Sagittarius and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 41, 2, 22, 49 and 32.
TUNDRA
HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). Potentially irritating circumstances abound. On a good day, you are not annoyed and opt to transcend the circumstances with a higher thought. On a better day, you don’t even notice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are a spiritual person, and yet your life plays out in very practical ways. Instead of staring into an ethereal mist to determine your future, you do what must be done in the moment, creating a destiny worthy of you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For the sake of keeping your energy strong and your attitude buoyant, there will be quite a lot you just have to let go. Hyper-vigilance is draining. Don’t react to everything. Pick your battles. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Marketers say perception is reality, and scientists refute that perception is the least reliable indicator of reality that we have. You’ll find examples to prove both schools of thought today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Why are bad moods so much easier to catch than good moods? Whatever the reason, you’re wise to shield your energy with an imaginary protective coating before you come into contact with that chronically grumpy someone. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You like the people around you, but you still need a friend whose idea of fun matches more closely your own idea of fun. By beginning to imagine this kind of relationship, you bring it closer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What’s the point of being beautiful if you don’t feel beautiful? The reactions of others will mean little to you now, so you may as well do the things that are likely to bring you up and lighten your spirit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are keenly aware of your own emotional state, and you have a good sense of how others around you are feeling, too. Keep track. This data will be interesting to you when you look back on it later. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Something you do seemingly without a purpose is not a waste of time. Just because you don’t know the purpose now doesn’t mean there

FRIDAY PRIME TIME
Today is Friday, April 19, the 109th day of 2013. There are 256 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 19, 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. On this date: In 1775, the American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington and Concord. In 1861, a week after the Civil War began, President Abraham Lincoln authorized a blockade of Southern ports. In 1912, a special subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee opened hearings in New York into the Titanic disaster. 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 1945, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Carousel” opened on Broadway. In 1951, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bade farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.” In 1960, South Korean students began an uprising that toppled the government of President Syngman Rhee a week later. The South West African People’s Organization (SWAPO) was founded in Namibia. In 1973, the science-fiction film “Soylent Green,” starring Charlton Heston, was released. In 1982, astronauts Sally K. Ride and Guion S. Bluford Jr. became the first woman and first African-American to be tapped for U.S. space missions. 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. Ten years ago: Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo (oh-LOO’-see-gun oh-BAH’-sahn-joh) won a new term in an election denounced by opponents as fraudulent. Five years ago: President George W. Bush wrapped up two days of talks at Camp David with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. A Russian capsule carrying South Korea’s first astronaut (Yi So-yeon) touched down 260 miles off target in northern Kazakhstan after hurtling through the atmosphere in a bone-jarring descent from the international space station. One year ago: Republicans rammed an election-year, $46 billion tax cut for most of America’s employers through the House, ignoring a White House veto threat. (The measure went down to defeat in the Senate.) India announced the successful test launch of a new nuclear-capable missile. Levon Helm, drummer and singer for The Band, died in New York City at age 71. Greg Ham, a member of the Australian band Men at Work, was found dead in his Melbourne home.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have grown children from my first marriage. I now have a 7-year-old son from my second marriage, and we are home-schooling him. My older children, who all attended public school, aren’t terribly keen on this. One of them, “Jenny,” criticizes homeschooling and then gets into what she considers insufficient socialization. She says if her baby brother doesn’t turn out right, it’s because I deprived him of something. When she’s finished with that topic, she criticizes the condition of our 30-year-old house. Then she says my house is too cluttered, which I admit, but it’s fairly well organized, and I regularly donate old clothing and appliances. Jenny has offered to help me with the clutter, but I suspect that’s an excuse to throw away all of my things. Jenny’s latest complaint is that I’ve “changed” and she can no longer talk to me. We used to be able to talk about everything, and now Jenny feels that I bring up God too often. My faith has deepened, but I remind Jenny that I am still the mother I’ve always been, albeit older. But she has decided to cut off communication for an unspecified period of time, saying she “needs space.” Jenny has an illness that flares up periodically, and she takes steroids regularly. I’m concerned that this is affecting her behavior, making it more extreme. I suggested she speak with her doctor, but she insists the steroids aren’t a problem. I’m baffled and hurt. We used to have wonderful talks. Her little brother adores her, and it breaks my heart to think their relationship has been put on hold. Any advice? -- Upset Up North Dear Upset: You may be right about the steroids, but even so, you cannot force Jenny to address it. You need to back off a bit and let Jenny work through this herself. Send her a note saying you love her and miss her, but you will respect her
decision and wait for her to get in touch. If nothing changes within, say, six months, you might consider asking one of your other grown children to act as an intermediary to find out whether more is going on and how you might be able to improve things. Dear Annie: My friend is going through a rough time with her family. She has resorted to self-harm. I am worried for her. She says she wants help, but she doesn’t want people to know she’s cutting. I respect this, so please tell me what to do. -- Helpless in Illinois Dear Helpless: Some people resort to cutting as a way to cope with intense emotional pain. The problem, of course, is that it’s not a useful way to manage pain. The cutting will create scars, she might accidentally cut too deeply, and if the cutting continues, it can become compulsive and addictive. Some people who cut also suffer from underlying depression or other mental health issues. You don’t say how old your friend is, but please encourage her to talk to a professional. This might mean confiding in her parents or other relatives, or a doctor, school counselor or teacher, or going to a nearby mental health clinic. This is not something that either of you should keep secret. Discussing her family problems will help, and a counselor can work with her to find more productive ways to deal with her emotional pain. Dear Annie: I don’t get why everyone feels they have to give hints to those guests who stay too late. Why not just say, “I loved our visit, but I have to get up early in the morning,” or “I’m having trouble staying awake”? If someone was rude enough to say, “If they’re going to be here all night, better make up a pallet on the floor,” that would be the last time we ever visited. -- Simi Valley, Calif.

Bipartisan group of senators introduces sweeping new immigration legislation WASHINGTON (AP) — Four Democratic and four Republican senators formally unveiled a sweeping immigration bill Thursday at a news conference attended by traditional opponents from big business and labor, conservative groups and liberal ones. The lawmakers argued that this time, thanks to that broad-based support, immigration overhaul legislation can succeed in Congress. “Powerful outside forces have helped defeat certain other initiatives in Washington, but on immigration, the opposite is proving true,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said a day after senators under intense lobbying pressure blocked a major gun control package. “I am confident this issue will not fall victim to the usual partisan deadlock.” Support for the bill is already being put to the test as conservatives grow more vocal in opposition. Two Republican senators held a dueling news conference with law enforcement officials to bash the bill’s security provisions, and several conservative bloggers seized on one provision of the legislation to falsely claim that it would allow people here illegally to get free cellphones. The 844-page bill is designed to secure the border, allow tens of thousands of new high- and low-skilled workers into the country while requiring employers to verify their legal status, and put 11 million people here illegally on a path to citizenship, as long as certain border security goals are met first. “Yes, we offer a path to citizenship to people who didn’t come here legally,” said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., anticipating opposition to that provision. “They’re here, and realistically there is nothing we can do to induce them all to return to their countries of origin.” In addition to Schumer and McCain, the members of the so-called Gang of Eight are Democrats Dick Durbin of Illinois, Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Michael Bennet of Colorado, and Republicans Marco Rubio of Florida, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona. The bill will get its first hearing Friday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Standing behind the senators was a who’s-who of Washington conservative and liberal leaders, representatives from religious groups, Latino activist organizations and others.
Before the senators came to the podium, anti-tax activist Grover Norquist shook hands with AFL-CIO leader Richard Trumka, then exchanged pleasantries with Neera Tanden, head of the liberal Center for American Progress. They were joined by Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Bruce Josten of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Clarissa Martinez of the National Council of La Raza and others, around two dozen all together. Many of the advocates and senators present were veterans of past failed efforts at reform, most notably in 2007, when legislation pushed by then-President George W. Bush collapsed on the Senate floor amid a ferocious public backlash and interest-group opposition. Asked why an immigration overhaul would succeed this time, McCain turned and pointed to the advocates arrayed behind him. “This is a coalition. I never thought I’d be standing with Richard Trumka,” McCain said. “This is why we will succeed.” The alliances the senators painstakingly knit together is one difference this time, but the political climate is better too. President Barack Obama’s resounding victory among Latino voters in 2012 demonstrated to McCain and other Republicans the urgency for the GOP to act on the immigration issue. Polls also show majority public support for a path to citizenship for those here illegally. Schumer cited that support in rejecting a comparison to the failure of the gun bill. “I don’t think it’s at all like gun control, frankly,” Schumer said. “Because I think the product we’re starting out with has broader support, on a broader basis, than guns did, both in the Senate and the country.” But in some corners opposition remains strong. Republican Sens. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and David Vitter of Louisiana, along with several law enforcement officials, held a news conference at almost the same time as the Gang of Eight members to dismiss their claims of improved border enforcement and security. “Like 2007, this bill is amnesty before enforcement,” Sessions said. “The day the bill passes illegal immigrants will have the presumption of amnesty and all (Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano) has to do is submit a vague plan in six months that may never get implemented.”

GILFORD — The Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing School is celebrating its 26th year and is now accepting session registrations. Adult classes are also offered out of Meredith Bay. Sailing School Director Anthony Sperazzo, said “We’re about to close out sessions already and registration has only been open a week. We anticipate our third sold out summer in a row.’’ He said the staff will have some new faces combined with the seasoned veterans. 6th year veteran instructor, RJ Darabant, has been hired as the Operations Director. He will oversee the day to day operations and teach the level 3 non-racing classes. Seasoned veteran and 5th year instructor Owen Carey-Hatch, a product of LWSA, will lead the Racing program. He is pursuing his Level 2 coaching certification through US Sailing. Gilford native and junior at Bucknell, Carson Quigley, is studying Biomedical Engineering and Psychology, and will return for her 5th year at LWSA. She is well known for her expertise at working with the younger groups. Gilford High School senior Sally Tinkham, is returning after getting her feet wet last year. Newcomers to the program are Ben Crosby and Liam Shanahan. Crosby is currently involved with a semester at sea, living on a boat named Harvey Gamage, which is sailing back from the Caribbean. Shanahan is involved in many sports at his school back in Massachusetts. All classes for children 11 to 16 include ten days of instruction, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sailors in this class are offered two-week sessions for greater mastery of the see next page
WinnAero expands ACE Academy programs GILFORD — WinnAero, the aviation and aerospace education non-profit based at the Laconia Airport, has announced its summer plans. The group will expand its annual ACE Academy to include half-day sessions for children in grades 3-5 (July 29-Aug 2); full-day sessions for students in grades 6-11 participating in ACE for the first time and for those in grades 10-12 who have prior ACE or flight experience , both these camps will run simultaneously July 8-12. The ACE Academies are a cooperative venture between the FAA and WinnAero with strong support from the Laconia Airport Authority, Air Force Association, Civil Air Patrol, Sky Bright Aviation and the Granite State Airport Managers Association, among others. The subject matter is designed to be hands-on for youth with an emphasis on aviation and aerospace themed activities underscoring the academic principles of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Faculty include four certified NH educators and a retired airline Captain. Class activities and field trips include: model rocketry, flight simulators, meteorology, navigation, aviation career speakers, tours of Pease ANG Base, the Manchester Airport Control Tower, aircraft maintenance, pre-flight, flight planning and an orientation flight in a light aircraft. “These day sessions provide an invaluable experience for youth at all age and grade levels to learn more about careers in aviation and aerospace” said
Dan Caron, Academy Director and 34 year veteran teacher. Caron is also a former Air Force Association McAuliffe Teacher of the Year. Applications for any of the ACE Academies and photos of past participants are on the WinnAero website, www.winnaero.org. Tuition for the sessions is $200 for the half-day camp and $400 for the all day camp with scholarships available to those who qualify through the generosity of the Diane K. Kline Memorial Scholarship Fund, The Granite State Airport Managers Association and WinnAero.
from preceding page skills taught such as being more aware of wind and weather, focus on more advanced sailing, boat handling, and safety skills, including tacking, jibing and landing a sailboat. Classes for 8 to 10 year olds are one week. Level one students are introduced to sailing and safety in and around sailboats. Beginning sailors learn to rig, sail, and steer the boat. Also, for the third year, the program will offer half day lessons to 7 year olds for an introduction to sailing. The school offers a Tuesday night Youth Racing Club open to any sailor who can demonstrate adequate basic boat-handling skills. New for LWSA this year is Open Sail night. Wednesday nights will provide an opportunity for
children who have passed level 1 to sail in Smith Cove to become more confident. Adult sailing is also available on Meredith Bay. Classes are offered Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. or from 5-8 p.m. with a maximum of three participants to each boat. Private lessons are also available. Register by May 1 for a $15 discount. For more information on the LWSA Sailing School, visit www. lwsa.org, email sailing-school@lwsa.org, or call 603589-1177. Scholarships are available.
