CONCORD (AP) — Former state Sen. Joseph Foster, a lawyer from Nashua, is Gov. Maggie Hassan’s choice to become New Hampshire’s next attorney general.

Hassan announced her nomination on Monday, saying Foster’s judgment and experience makes him the ideal candidate.

Foster, 53, currently leads the bankruptcy practice for the McLane Law Firm, one of the state’s largest firms. He served as a state senator from 2002 to 2008 and held the position of majority leader in 2007.

Hassan, who served in the Senate with Foster, praised him for bringing lawmakers together to pass tough legislation to protect children from predators and improve the state’s judicial system.

Foster also worked on school aid legislation and on a bill allowing 17-yearolds to vote in primary elections, as long as they turn 18 in time for the general election. see AG page 3

Suspicion for shooting of Texas DA on white supremacists KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — Two days after a Texas district attorney and his wife were found shot to death in their home, authorities have said little about their investigation or any potential suspects.

But suspicion in the slayings shifted Monday to a white supremacist prison gang with a long history of violence and retribution that was also the focus of a December law enforcement bulletin warning that its members might try to attack police or prosecutors.

The deaths of Kaufman County District

Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife were especially jarring because they happened just a couple of months after one of the county’s assistant district attorneys, Mark Hasse, was killed near his courthouse office and less than two weeks after Colorado’s prison chief was shot to death at his front door, apparently by a white supremacist ex-convict.

The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas has been in the state’s prison system since the 1980s, when it began as a white supremacist gang that protected its members and

ran illegal activities, including drug distribution, according to Terry Pelz, a former Texas prison warden and expert on the gang.

The group is now believed to have more than 4,000 members in and out of prison who deal in a variety of criminal enterprises, including prostitution, robbery and murder.

It has a paramilitary structure with five factions around the state, Pelz said. Each faction has a general, who is part of a steering committee known as the “Wheel,” which controls all criminal aspects of the see TEXAS DA page 11

‘BUCKWILD’ star & 2 others found dead in West Virginia SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (AP) — Shain Gandee lived for the outdoors, often going on muddy, off-road thrill rides in the hills near his West Virginia home. A recent late-night escapade ended in tragedy for the MTV reality show cast member and two others.

The popular “BUCKWILD” cast member was found dead Monday inside a sport utility vehicle belonging to his family that was found partially submerged in a deep mud pit about a mile from his home near Sis-

sonville, authorities said. Also inside were the bodies of his uncle and another man.

Kanawha County Sheriff’s Cpl. B.D. Humphreys said the red-and-white 1984 Ford Bronco’s muffler was below the surface and that mud covered the passenger side. No foul play is expected.

Authorities said the cause of the deaths was still under investigation and they refused to speculate on what happened. If the muffler was submerged and the engine

kept running, it’s possible the cabin of the vehicle could have filled with fatal carbon monoxide from the exhaust.

Shain, nicknamed “Gandee Candy” by fans, was a breakout star of the show that followed the antics of a group of young friends enjoying their wild country lifestyle.

It was filmed last year, mostly around Sissonville and Charleston. Many of its rowdy exploits were his idea. In one episode, he see BUCKWILD page 4

Conn. lawmakers reach Republicans criticize House Democrats’ budget agreement on tough gun laws in wake of Newtown HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut lawmakers announced a deal Monday on what they called some of the toughest gun laws in the country that were proposed after the December mass shooting in the state, including a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead.

The proposal also called for background checks for private gun sales and a new registry for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a compromise for parents of Newtown victims who had wanted an outright ban on them, while legislators had proposed grandfathering them into the law.

The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation’s first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales and expansion of Connecticut’s assault weapons ban.

A new state-issued eligibility certificate would also be needed to purchase any rifle, shotgun or ammunition under the legislation. To get the certificate, a buyer would need to be fingerprinted, take a firearms training course and undergo a national criminal background check and involuntary commitment or voluntary admission check.

The deal is “the most comprehensive package in the country because of its breadth,” said Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, a Fairfield Republican whose district includes Newtown.

McKinney said people tend to focus on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, but he said “there’s a lot here underneath the surface” addressing mental health, school security and other issues.

The proposal was revealed to rank-and-file lawmakers Monday after weeks of negotiations among legislative leaders. A vote was expected Wednesday in the Legislature, where Democrats control both chambers, making passage all but assured.

Teen arrested in connection with Concord traffic deaths

CONCORD (AP) — Police in Concord, N.H., have arrested a man in connection with the October traffic accident deaths of a man and a 7-year-old girl.

Police said the two died of injuries suffered in a two-car crash on Oct. 19 near the entrance to Interstate 89.

Killed were one of the drivers, 31-year-old Jesse Wolf Concord, and his 7-year-old passenger, Kyara Mailhot of Manchester.

Police said the other driver in the crash, 17-yearold Jacob Veroneau of Concord, was arrested on a charge of falsifying physical evidence.

Police had issued a warrant for Veroneau, who was accused deleting text messages from his cellphone from that time. They said he turned himself into police on Monday and is scheduled to be arraigned May 6.

AG from page 2 “His extensive legal experience will be invaluable in addressing the complex civil litigation facing the state, and in our ongoing efforts to improve protections for consumers,” Hassan said.

Foster also served in House from 1995 to 1998.

If confirmed by the Executive Council, Foster would succeed Attorney General Michael Delaney, who said last month he would not seek reappointment. Hassan will formally nominate Foster at Wednesday’s council meeting.

“If I am confirmed, I will work hard every day to protect public safety and ensure justice for all of our citizens,” Foster said.

Foster received his law degree from George Washington University in 1984 and his bachelor’s degree from Tufts University in 1981.

CONCORD (AP) — House Republicans criticized Democrats on Monday for proposing a budget that they say doesn’t spend enough on some things and spends too much overall.

Republican state Rep. Neal Kurk, a member of the House budget committee, told reporters at a Statehouse news conference the proposed $11 billion budget for the two years beginning July 1 will cost county property taxpayers more money to care for the poor and elderly in nursing homes. He said state aid to counties would be his top priority for additional funding.

Kurk said his second priority would be to fund new school construction projects. House budget writers eliminated money for all but the state’s share of existing projects.

Republicans also criticized Democrats for building a budget on revenue estimates that Republicans said are $31 million too high.

“We’re growing government at a rate we can’t afford right now,” said House Republican Leader Gene Chandler.

House Speaker Terie Norelli, a Democrat, later responded that Republicans want to add $35 million in spending on programs such as building aid, charter schools and county aid while complaining that Democrats’ estimates of the money available to spend are too high.

“The governor did a great job of putting together a budget that includes all the priorities we care about,” Norelli said.

But Norelli said the House Finance Committee could not fund everything with the money the state expects to get in tax revenue during the next two

years.

Chandler said Republicans will offer amendments to the budget to make their points when the Democratic-controlled House votes on it Wednesday.

Chandler said Republican leaders will not challenge the public works budget also being voted on Wednesday. That budget contains $38 million for a new women’s prison.Also Monday, the House Finance Committee spent 90 minutes explaining the plan to lawmakers. Committee Chairwoman Mary Jane Wallner, a Democrat, said the budget spends about $2.8 billion over the two years in state taxes and is about $51 million less than the budget Gov. Maggie Hassan recommended in February.

The House budget does not count on $80 million from licensing a new, yet-to-be approved casino that was in Hassan’s budget. Without the gambling money, the House budget scales back on education funding in Hassan’s budget, including the money for new school construction that Kurk and Republicans wanted.

The House budget puts a moratorium on new school construction and new charter schools — another program supported by Republicans.

The committee also recommends giving the state’s university system about $12 million or about 20 percent less than it sought in exchange for a promise to freeze in-state tuition. Instead, the system would get an additional $47 million.

Committee members got a smattering of questions during their presentation Monday on programs ranging from charter schools to the impact of cutting the Legislature’s budget by $2.5 million.

Police said the expect he will be charged with a number of motor vehicle violations including disobeying an officer and reckless conduct.

On March 20 McLeod turned himself into New Hampton Police after allegedly fleeing from officers on March 14. In his attempt to flee, police say he played a game of “chicken” with a Bristol Police officer by driving straight at him in a 3/4-ton pickup.

The officer moved to his right and avoided the crash.

Before the police pursuit, McLeod allegedly used his pickup to ram the back of his former girlfriend’s car twice. She called police to tell them he was still chasing her.

After his encounter with Bristol and New Hampton Police, McLeod is said to have ditched his truck and was able to elude them by running into the woods.

Police ended the search when the K-9 tracked him to a road where they believe someone picked him up.

McLeod appeared in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division and was ordered held on $8,000 cash bail. He was able to post bail and New Hampton Police Chief Doug Salmon said yesterday he may face breach of bail conditions for his outstanding charges as well as the new charges he faces in Tilton.

Colorado to seek death penalty for theater shooter CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — For James Holmes, “justice is death,” prosecutors said Monday in announcing they will seek his execution if he is convicted in the Colorado movie theater attack that killed 12 people.

The decision — disclosed in court just days after prosecutors publicly rejected Holmes’ offer to plead guilty if they took the death penalty off the table — elevated the already sensational case to a new level and could cause it to drag on for years.

“It’s my determination and my intention that in this case, for James Eagan Holmes, justice is death,” District Attorney George Brauchler said, adding that he had discussed the case with 60 people who lost relatives in the July 20 shooting rampage by a gunman in a gas mask and body armor during a midnight showing of the latest Batman movie.

There was no audible reaction from the 25-year-old former neuroscience graduate student, who sat with his back to reporters, or from victims’ families in the courtroom. Holmes’ parents sat side by side in the gallery, clutching hands with fingers intertwined.

The decision had been widely predicted by legal analysts.

Within minutes of it becoming official, the trial was pushed back from August to next February and Judge William B. Sylvester removed himself from the case, saying that now that the charges carry the death penalty they will take years to resolve and he does not have the time to devote to such a drawn-out matter.

Despite the potential for more delays, some of those who lost loved ones were happy with prosecutors’ decision.

“I had a huge adrenaline rush,” said Bryan Beard, whose best friend Alex Sullivan was killed in the attack. “I love the choice. I love it, I love it.” He added: “I hope I’m in the room when he dies.”

Alleged drug dealer held on $50k cash bail

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll ordered the Gilford Avenue man charged Friday for three felony counts of possession of narcotic drugs with the intent to distribute them held on $50,000 cash-only bail.

Virakone Havanglasan, 34,, of 137 Gilford Avenue was arrested by police Friday morning after they executed a search warrant at his home.

He appeared by video yesterday in the 4th Cirvuit Court, Laconia Division.

Affidavits said Havanglasan was home and initially told police he had marijuana and a small amount of cocaine in the house but nothing else.

Police said he retrieved a duffel bag and gave it to them. It had about a pound of marijuana that was allegedly vacuum sealed with two smaller bags

inside, some scales and some cocaine.

After a search, police also allegedly found a bag of brown powder inside a bag that had also had several wax paper bindles they determined are typically associated with resale. Police said they also found several pills that appeared to be Xanax that were bundled in the corners of tied-off plastic bags. There were unmarked prescription bottles and police said the pills were commingled.

Affidavits also said Havanglasan also had what appeared to be a sales ledger in his wallet.

Police continue to investigate whether or not Havanglasan was in violation of being a registered sex offender because he had a phone with an unreported unlisted number. Havanglasen was convicted of rape in 1997 for having sex with a minor who was older than 13 but under 16 and more than three years younger than him.

from preceding page matter what.”

Humphreys said Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle, David Gandee, and 27-year-old Donald Robert Myers were last seen around 3 a.m. Sunday at a bar and they told people they were going driving off-road.

State police were getting ready to send out an aviation unit to search for the men when authorities received a call Monday morning. Humphreys said the SUV was found by one of Shain Gandee’s friends next to a trail used by four-wheel drive vehicles, about 15 miles outside of Charleston.

The terrain in the Thaxton Hollow area was “very muddy, very rough,” Humphreys said, and responders had to use all-terrain vehicles to get to the site.

Humphreys did not provide details on the condition of the bodies.

Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said the news was devastating for the small community near Charleston.

“It’s a very sad day for the Sissonville area and for these families,” he said. “This is a small community, and most of us know directly members of these families. We’re keeping them in our hearts and prayers.”

MTV issued a statement saying it was shocked and saddened to learn of its star’s death.

“We are waiting for more information but at this time, our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends,” the statement said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly.”

Shooting for the second season of “BUCKWILD” had begun, but MTV spokesman Jake Urbanski said Monday afternoon it has been suspended.

MTV said the half-hour series in the old “Jersey Shore” time slot was pulling in an average of 3 million viewers per episode since its premiere and was the No. 1 original cable series on Thursday nights among 12- to 34-year-olds.

Now, it’s all in the ‘packet’ Not all that long ago, when you made a direct dialed long distance call, as you dialed the digits of the distant telephone, the switching equipment and the long distance facilities (the physical lines) were being established as you dialed. As you dialed the digit “1”, the system knew it was long distance and it routed you to the nearest long distance switching center. As you dialed the subsequent numbers, “212” for example, that meant you were dialing into New York City, and the system established the physical linkage to get you to New York. The next digits you dialed, “393” for example, routed you to that particular central office. The last four digits you dialed specified the person or place you were calling. That completed the connection and established all the links in sequence. If the telephone line you were calling was busy, you would hear the busy tone, and the connections from your telephone to the one in New York City would be disconnected. If the phone line was not busy, the telephone would would ring. (Incidentally, the “ringing” that the caller hears, is not the same ring that is being generated at the called party’s phone. The ringing sounds are generated independently at each end.)

The average elapsed time for dialing and ringing was about 23 seconds. That is called the “operating time”. That doesn’t sound like much but, if you consider literally hundreds of thousands of calls being generated each day, multiplied by that 23 seconds, it equates to a substantial number of facilities that are required just to accommodate the operating time. One other important point is that in an “analog” world, each time you dialed a long distance number, that fully occupied a telephone line.

But technology changes and in the early 1960s, a gentleman named Paul Baran invented the “packet”. The first thing to know is that the packet is transmitted as a digital signal, not an analog one. Next, the packet can travel on any route, it doesn’t have to be the most direct or in a particular sequence of facilities. In its early configuration, the packet size was 1024 bits in length and included the “address” to which the message was going, the “address” from which

the message was sent, the sequence number of the packet itself, and the remaining bits in each packet carried the “information”. The changes this discovery made possible are mind boggling.

First, in the telephone network, when the caller was dialing the digits, it was no longer necessary to follow the analog path and to physically establish all the links necessary to complete the call only to find out the line was busy, essentially wasting the 23 seconds of operating time and tying up a telephone line. A single packet contained all of the information necessary to travel (at the speed of light) to the distant central office and determine if the called telephone was busy or available. If that telephone was not busy, the packet essentially informed the system to establish the connection. All this happened in about one second. It is important to note that the digital line carrying the packet of information can also carry untold numbers of packets from other callers. The line can be “bit stuffed” with unrelated packets whereas the analog system permitted only one number sequence in each line.

While this was a boon to the telephone companies, it was even more of a benefit to what was a fledgling Internet system.

The “packet” became the norm for internet transmissions. Each time we hit the “send” key on our computer, our outgoing message is sent in a series of packets, each with its to and from address and packet sequence numbers. As the message is sent, it is mingled with other messages bound to other end users, that have been bit stuffed into a digital line. The “routers”, or switches, at the distant end, put the packets in proper order sequence as they are transmitted to the end users.

Remember, all this is taking place at the speed of light.

The benefits of the “packet” are so great that it has allowed most of the long distance calls to be converted to digital packets, multiple calls/ packets to be bit stuffed onto single lines, thereby increasing call quality and significantly diminishing the demand for addition facilities.

It’s called VOIP, voice over Internet protocol.

Faster. Better. Cheaper.

I think of conservatives as irrationally loving puppies but hating dogs To the editor, I get it that conservatives want every conception to result in a child.

What I don’t get is why they oppose marriage equality, meaning — they then don’t want all children-arrived-

at-adulthood to have an equal chance at happiness. Why is that? I somehow think of conservatives as irrationally loving puppies but hating dogs.

LETTERS Regional planners are selling their vision of the perfect society To the editor, In a recent Daily Sun letter from Dr. Bruce Mallory about the Carsey Institute’s “NH Listens” facilitation road show, Mallory claims that NH Listens does not employ the Delphi Technique when it “facilitates” “community” listening sessions. He says they are discussions that are supposed to garner the opinions of the public.

Let me tell explain to you how this works, having been victim of this process for nearly my whole career as a teacher.

The Delphi Technique, as laid out on their own website (http://nhlistens. org/how-it-works) was first developed by the Rand Corporation, a company which has been dubbed “The Think Tank That Controls America” (http:// mentalfloss.com/article/22120/rand-corporation-think-tank-controls-america) The idea was to created a consensus of opinion on an idea or condition based on the input of several “experts” in the field. Today it is being used in a similar way to give the impression that certain groups (such as teachers or people in the community) have come up with and/or have accepted ideas that never came from them in the first place. That is, the issue that we are supposedly “struggling with” may not even exist. Concerns over the issue come from somewhere else and the “experts” all have a stake in the outcome.

This is most evident by the fact that these “listening sessions” are basically under attended by all but a handful of regular citizens, and are stacked with these “stakeholders”. In fact, unless alert citizens had not been spreading the word about what was going on, you would likely find only one or two people from the general public in attendance. Most in attendance either work for NH Listens, the Carsey Institute, environmental NGOs and law firms like CELDF.org, or “green” companies looking for the ensuing work that would be created for them by the public grant money.

The Regional Planning Commissions used to be about towns that shared resources such as fire trucks and bridges. But lately they have strayed far from their purview. Whether you agree that their ideas are the brainchild of the UN or not, the RPCs certainly have been acting as if they were mini-

UNs, selling their vision of the perfect “Utopian, planned society of the future” to the unsuspecting public. (The North Country Council website asks the silly question “What do you want the North Country to look like in 20 years?”) RPCs are in any case, are acting as a shadow layer of government, using a top-down process to steer towns into accepting federal money (money that comes with strings) to create “master plans” that include promotion of new state and town laws to measure, possibly tax, and ultimately control everything and everyone in the state, while claiming they are “advisory-only”. Their plans boast of the intent to manage energy usage, water usage, housing types, land use, medicine, food production, broadband access, recreation, “and MORE!” Perhaps you filled out an invasive American Community Survey for your family? Farmers are now getting one of their own... as data mining is a very important part of this takeover process.

For example, education is now added to the long list of things the central planners of the RPC hope to control and manage for you here in New Hampshire’s newly planned society of the future.

Winnisquam and Pittsfield were recent examples.

At the WRSD “listening session”, they made it sound like the idea for all-day kindergarten came from the “community” when it did not. In fact this idea was already voted down by the “community”, so what was the purpose of the discussion? In Pittsfield, they invited Keith Catone, a friend of William Ayers from the Annenberg Institute, to advise the teachers how to teach for “social justice”. Did anyone from the community ask for this? Just like MOST of the ideas being promoted at these listening sessions, we KNOW they did not.

As long as ordinary taxpayers do not attend these meetings, they may someday wake up to find that these preconceived ideas will have been implemented by an un-elected layer of bureaucracy — the central planners.

And they’ll be paying for these utopian boondoggles for the rest of their lives.

LETTERS A never-ending control by learned intellectuals who know best

Almost the entire political establishment agreed on invading Iraq

To the editor, An article in the N.Y. Times (March 2, 2013) referring to our’s being the land of plenty (of government) is quite interesting; it may help those citizens whom believe that government is the answer. It is interesting also in as that the writer points out that during FDR’s socialization program the stated pretext was that there was too much wealth in too few hands, leaving no money for others to spend — that is, tax the rich.

Stating that it was the restricted money supply that was the problem or “so we understand it today”. Actually (though unintentional) it translates into the government being the wealthiest hand(s), or the actual top 1 percenters. The richest and the wealthiest don’t compare to all government’s yearly spending of $6.3 trillion. The combined expenditures of the governments of the United States exceed the GDP of all the worlds nations except China’s and the U.S. federal budget exceeds all but China’s and Japan’s. Today’s government excessive production of money out of thin air and extreme deficit spending is a double edged sword with which they’re slicing the legs out from under all of us.

It speaks of Europe’s governmentcontrolled economy being focused on incentives for industrial production and less local consumption and that the U.S. government’s focus had been on individual consumption (such as housing) and more control of production and the wealthy.

Today’s learned economists feel that we are too focused on our private assets causing us to become less interested in the welfare of others. The new answer is “we need to rethink our love affair of consumption”.

To the editor, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, a local college professor has provided all of us with about as perfect an example of a slanderous liberal lie wrapped neatly in a “Republicans are cold hearted murderers” innuendo as has ever been written in the form of a letter to the editor. Because our 4th Estate, guardian media has objectively been dead for some time now, Professor Cracraft thinks he can repeat a blatant lie that has been etched in stone within the annals of revisionist, progressive history. All the while reinforcing their shameless, not so subtle mantra that “America is an evil force around the world”.

While referencing the 10th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war, he demands to know why George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are not on trial or at least indicted.

Why? Because, according to Scott, they deserve to be treated as the “war criminals they really are”. Now Scott and most liberals actually believe that statement to be true. Why? Because this hypocritical and tasteless lie has been repeated again and again by Democrats, the media, Hollywood and of course, academia. Who can forget some of the nastiest, liberal greatest hit pieces regarding our 43rd president, “Bushitler” and “Bush lied, people died”.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane and dig up some actual facts and true history shall we? March 2003: Newsweek, Gallup poll and Pew research all agreed that 70 percent of Americans favored military action in Iraq. Months earlier, there had been strong bipartisan support which included Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and Joe Biden, among other Democrats. The consensus was that Saddam Hussein was a deadly menace and had to be eradi-

And so we have it, a never ending control by those learned intellectuals who know what is best and how to make things right. Doing so out of their great compassion/concern for others as well as their knowing that we are all in this together and we all must give to the best of our abilities and take only what we need.

We can be sure of one thing; they will guide us along the way to the goal — which we must achieve first before we’ll know what it is. And, they will waste no opportunity to guide us through every manufactured crisis.

There is a children’s story, a small boy rides a large flying dog to stop the big “nothing” which is seeking to destroy everything — “The Never Ending Story” actually is real, and we are living it in the here and now. (http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes. com/2013/03/02/land-of-plenty-ofgovernment/?hp) An added note: An increase of the minimum wage to $10.52 will net the federal government nearly double the tax on low income workers at current tax rates and deductions; a full-time worker would earn $20,198.40 minus the $9,750 deduction and taxed at 15 percent would owe $1,129; currently at $7.25 an hour he’she owes only $418.

PS. How things change when you’re the one in power: S.O.S. John Kerry “will send food to the Syrian opposition” which of course allows them to spend their money to buy arms from Saudi Arabia; how will the eventual outcome of this game play be testified to a congressional hearing by an older Kerry?

G.W. Brooks Meredith

I’m not willing to let N.H. lawmakers tell criminals where to aim To the editor, What a huge disaster to see the vote in the N.H. House (186 Democrats and 3 Republicans) vote to repeal the “Stand Your Ground” law. This law simply reiterated our basic Constitutional Rights — the choice for lawabiding citizens to protect themselves with firearms in locations where we can be legally. It is American Constitution 101—a document ALL N.H. Representatives have sworn an oath to uphold!

They will find some educated-sounding argument to justify this vote and make it appear as if they have “public safety” and “children” in their best intentions. But the law of the Universe says otherwise. History shows repeatedly that crime, tyranny, and violence escalate exponentially when private citizens are not allowed to protect themselves lawfully and leaders are not made to operate within the law.

“This is America” they say, “Have faith in your law enforcement,” they

say, discounting that this could happen here. Ask the average citizens of Chicago if they feel safe in their city. Ask the people of Detroit who is running their city. It certainly isn’t law and order and decent law abiding citizens. It is thugs who run rampant both in their Legislatures and on the streets making the law-abiding citizens into victims who have lost their voice and their ability to protect themselves legally.

I am not willing to allow N.H. legislators to put a bull’s eye on our schools, homes and towns so that criminals know where to aim!

This vote goes to the State Senate.

Please let your state senator hear from you! Also, don’t forget to check if your representative voted for this and be sure you tell your friends and neighbors. They will be shaking hands and looking for votes before you know it!

Debbie Johnson Campton

from preceding page ship or participation in these plans, the reply was that the region would go ahead with it anyway. Does that sound like the RPCs are advisory or that their plans are voluntary?

Find your Regional Planning Commission and get out to their meetings for Granite State Futures. You will

find that their vision for the future is not the same as yours, and that you have been kept out of the process intentionally. You will find that these “regional” problems are mostly created, as are the solutions.

cated. How soon we forget that back in 1998, President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act which made Saddam’s removal from power a matter of public policy. Especially since U.N. weapons inspectors gave up checking Saddam’s weapons’ facilities when he repeatedly refused to cooperate while also ignoring U.N. sanctions.

Virtually everyone — including Republicans, Democrats, the CIA, the U.N. Security Council and Saddam’s own military officers, had been dead sure Weapons of Mass Destruction” (WMD) would be found. After all, Saddam had already used WMD’s to maim and murder many thousands of innocent Iraqi women, men and children.

Liberals and conservatives have debated and will continue to debate the merits of our long engagement in Iraq. Staying there as long as we have may well have been the wrong decision. What should not be up for debate is the fact — are you listening Scott? — that almost the entire political establishment and the worldwide intelligentsia believed we should have gone into Iraq because they were under the distinct impression that WMD’s did exist.

President Bush did not lie, but you Professor Cracraft are perpetuating a preposterous lie. As a libertarian leaning conservative seeking the truth, it makes me incensed that liberal progressives are able to promote baseless lies on a public too busy surviving their day to day lives to do all the tedious research to uncover the untruths. I am more than willing to do my little part in holding these secular progressives accountable for their attacks on conservatives. Professor Cracraft teaches our children. I pray to God that he is not teaching them history or politics. That very thought sends chills down my spine.

HOSPITALS from page one pensated care for the past two years and expects they will go empty-handed again during the next two years if the House budget prevails.

Funding for uncompensated care, which amounts statewide to approximately $365-million a year, hinges on revenues from the Medicaid Enhancement Tax (MET) which is levied on hospitals’ net income from patient services at a rate of 5.5-percent. The proceeds from the MET fund are used for uncompensated care payments and reimbursements to providers while a third share is applied to the state general fund as unrestricted revenue.

The revenue from the tax applied to uncompensated care and provider payments — but not the share deposited in the general fund — is matched dollar for dollar by the federal government.

Against the advice of the NHHA and others, the governor and House Finance Committee projected revenues from the MET to increase from $194.4-million in 2013 to $231.9-million in 2014, a jump of 19-percent, and climb another 8-percent to $250.4-million in 2015. Calling the estimates “overly aggressive,” Ahnen said they assumed that net revenues of hospitals would rise by a third.

Proceeds from the MET are distributed according to priorities established by the Legislature. In 2012 and 2013, payments to physicians and providers topped the list, followed by uncompensated care payments to “critical access” or rural hospitals, the state general fund and finally uncompensated care payments to the largest hospitals, including Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia. There are 13 “critical access” hospitals, among them Franklin Regional Hospital in Franklin, Spear Memorial Hospital in Plymouth and Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro, serving the Lakes Region.

The House Finance Committee reordered the priorities for 2014 and 2015. Provider payments remain the highest priority, with appropriations of $81.7-million in 2014 and $94.3-million in 2015, which would be matched by federal funds.

But, the committee jumped the general fund ahead of the hospitals, appropriating $72.2-million in 2014 and $73.7-million in 2015, or $24.3-million more than the governor recommended.

Uncompensated care payments to hospitals are the lowest priority. Both rural hospitals, which received 100 cents on the dollar in the previous biennium, and the larger hospitals would be paid 80-percent of costs. The committee appropriated $78-million in 2014 and $82.4-million in 2015, $36.9 less than the governor recommended. Like the appropriations for provider payments, those for uncompensated will be doubled by federal matching funds.

The Finance Committee projected that the rural hospitals will receive $47.1-million in 2014 and $50.9-million in 2015 while the larger hospitals get $97.9-million in 2014 and $111-million in 2015. However, the NHHA believes that the the proceeds from the MET are over-estimated by $50-million in 2014 and $67-million in 2015, or a total of $117 for the biennium. If the reduced revenues are distributed in the order of priority set by the committee, less than $35-million would remain for uncompensated care payments to the largest hospitals, $28-million in 2014 and $6.7-million in 2015.

“Cuts of this magnitude,” Ahnen told lawmakers, “will only serve to continue the practice of increasing health insurance premiums to businesses and individuals, and set up the potential for further reductions in health care services that our patients and communities depend on.”

Lipman likens the funding formula to a waterfall, which he fears will run dry before it reaches the largest hospitals. Without sufficient funds to defray a significant portion of the cost of uncompensated care, a share of those costs will be shifted to insured patients, increasing health insurance premiums to both employers and individuals. At the same time, he noted that since the hospitals fund uncompensated care payments with their MET receipts, “we are effectively paying the state to care for our Medicaid patients.”

Stocks dip after report on slow growth in manufacturing NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market got off to a slow start in April, edging lower after the Standard and Poor’s 500 index eclipsed its all-time high last week.

The main catalyst was a slowdown in U.S. manufacturing growth last month. The decline in the Institute for Supply Management’s benchmark manufacturing index for March was worse than economists had forecast. Stocks started falling shortly after the report came out at 10 a.m. and stayed lower the rest of the day.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed 5.69 points, or 0.04 percent, lower at 14,572.85. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 7.02 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,562.17.

Industrial companies fell 1 percent, the most in the S&P. 3M, which makes Post-it notes, industrial products and construction materials, fell 66 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $105.65. Caterpillar, a maker of construction and mining equipment, dropped $1.33, or 1.5 percent, to $85.64.

Investors have raised their expectations for the U.S. economy as the market has climbed this year, said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade. The Dow is up 11.2 percent in 2013, the S&P 9.5 percent.

“The numbers have to be outstanding in order to drive the market higher,” Kinahan said. “It’s a different mindset when we’re at these levels.”

The S&P 500 closed the first quarter at an alltime high of 1,569.19, surpassing its previous record close of 1,565.15 set on Oct. 9, 2007. The index has recaptured all of its losses from the financial crisis and the Great Recession. The Dow broke through its previous all-time high March 5.

The market has risen this year because of optimism that housing is recovering and that employers and starting to hire again. Strong company earnings and continuing stimulus from the Federal Reserve have also increased demand for stocks.

Small stocks fared worse than large ones Monday.

The Russell 2000, a benchmark of small-company stocks, fell 1.3 percent to 938.78, paring its gain for the year to 10.5 percent. It was the index’s biggest decline in more than a month. The Nasdaq composite fell 28.35 points, or 0.9 percent, to 3,239.17.

April is historically the second-strongest month for stocks, Deutsche Bank analysts said in report released Monday. The S&P 500 has gained an average of 1.4 percent in April, based on returns since 1960, making it the second strongest month after December.

The last meaningful setback for stocks started before November’s election. The market slid 6 percent between Oct. 1 and Nov. 15 in the run-up to the vote and immediately afterwards on concerns that Washington would be unable to enact reforms to keep the economy growing.

BELMONT from page one and kitchen because those spaces typically require 100 pounds-pe-square-feet of floor strength verses the 50 pounds-per-square-feet typically required for office space.

“The original beams are adequate for office-type loading but with any degree of decay the beam must be reinforced to support a office-live load,” read the report that noted there was some beam decay in test places that would be consistent with the history of the building.

The use of the mill came into question in August of 2012 when the former tenants — the Lakes Region Community College Culinary Arts Program and its Food For Thought Cafe — asked selectmen to replace the carpet in the hall way and dining room because of wear and tear.

During the discussion, Chef Patrick Hall mentioned that there was a soft spot in the dining room floor and selectmen asked the code enforcement officer to examine it. The engineering report indicates that without significant reinforcements to the original beam, a restaurant would not be an appropriate use.

Code Enforcement Officer Steve Paquin and engineers determined the fourth floor was not sound enough for use as a kitchen and restaurant and the cooking school relocated in part to the Laconia High School and in part to Concord High School.

Since then the fourth floor has been vacant and

selectmen hired H.L. Turner Group to perform a structural assessment to see if the building was viable and if the work the town commissioned during the restoration was completed as required.

The mill was built in the 1830s and used for industrial purposes until it was vacated in 1970. In August of 1992 there was a significant fire causing considerable damage to the fourth floor and water damage throughout. The town of Belmont bought the mill in 1995 and restoration work was completed in 1997.

For the better part of those years most of the fourth floor was open to the elements.

Selectmen said the original scope of work was to replace the entire sub-floor of the fourth floor, however it appears the sub-floor was only partially replaced during the restoration.

Engineers also preliminarily determined the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system needed some work and one of the three units — the first floor — had been disconnected and was likely inoperable.

The initial recommendation to selectman was to determine how much structural work was needed on the mill before engineers did a complete examination of the HVAC system.

Last night Paquin was unavailable to selectmen, who said they would discuss the draft report with him in more depth at their April 15 meeting.

MEREDITH from page one town manager Carol Granfield, and the church reached an agreement by which the church provided the town with 10 parking space for its employees and in return the town would maintain and plow the lot. Explaining that the original agreement contemplated expanding and improving the lot, Warren sought guidance from the board in negotiating with the church.

Warren said that in 2007 the cost of clearing and paving the lot would have been be approximately $148,000 if the Department of Public Works did the work and $271,000 if a contractor did the job. However, he said he was reluctant to burden the DPW with the project and estimated that a competitive bid for the work would be about $500,000.

If investing in the improvement of the lot was the price for 10 parking spaces, then “the town gets out of the lot and stays out of the lot,” Selectman Lou Kahn said flatly.

Selectman Herb Vadney cautioned the board against surrendering parking downtown, which he said is “at a premium on summer days.” He was echoed by Selectman Peter Brothers, who said he had “mixed emotions.” Recalling the initial dis-

cussion in 2007, he said there were “a number of restrictions” on the use of the lot and that the board explored several alternatives to the church lot. “I hate to give up anything,” Brothers said.

Warren reminded the board that the church used the lot on Mondays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and hosted other groups, like AA, and the Boy Scouts, in the evening and special events from time to time.

Kahn noted that the church’s use of the lot has apparently increased and the town employees have other places to park, wondering “is it worth the expense” and declared “no one is saying pick up the $500,000.”

“You’re making a mountain out of a mole hill,” Jim Hughes, a former selectman, told the board, “and its not a granite mountain. It’s a sand mountain that can be spread around.”

The board asked Warren to locate the original agreement and continue discussions with the church on the understanding that the town would not make a significant investment in improving the parking lot.

“I can assume the next time around, if there’s an agreement, it’s a written agreement,” Kahn remarked.

Lakes Region Wavemakers team wraps up 31st swimming season LACONIA — The Lakes Region Wavemakers Swim Team recently wrapped up its 31st season with a 10th place finish at the New Hampshire Swim Association Championships, held last month in White River Junction, Vt. At the NHSA Championships, finishing in the top 10 spots for the 15 and older swimmers were: Rebecca Cook – 6th in the 500 Freestyle, 5th in the 200 Freestyle and 2nd in the 100 Freestyle; Sarah Sundius – 9th in the 50 Freestyle and 9th in the 100 Breaststroke; Kayla Phelps – 3rd in the 100 Backstroke. Within the 13-14 age group, Ben Jaques grabbed a 6th place finish in the 100 Backstroke.

With a fastball that registers about 83 miles per hour on the radar gun, he knows he’ll have to add some muscle, and speed, if he wants to attract attention as a pitcher.

He’s not counting himself out, though. “I’m not ready to give up on it yet,” he said, adding that he’s given himself a simple goal: “Just try to improve myself. If it happens, great. If not, that’s why I’m going to college.”

TEXAS DA from page 2 gang, according to court papers.

Four top leaders of the group were indicted in October for crimes ranging from murder to drug trafficking. Two months later, authorities issued the bulletin warning that the gang might try to retaliate against law enforcement for the investigation that also led to the arrest of 30 other members.

At the time, prosecutors called the indictments “a devastating blow to the leadership” of the gang. Pelz said the indictments might have fragmented the gang’s leadership.

Hasse’s Jan. 31 death came on the same day as the first guilty pleas were entered in the indictment. No arrests have been made in his killing.

McLelland was part of a multiagency task force that investigated the Aryan Brotherhood with help from the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and police in Houston and Fort Worth.

Detectives have declined to say if the Aryan Brotherhood is the focus of their investigation, but the state Department of Public Safety bulletin

warned that the group is “involved in issuing orders to inflict ‘mass casualties or death’ to law enforcement officials involved in the recent case.”

Killing law enforcement representatives would be uncharacteristic of the group, Pelz said.

“They don’t go around killing officials,” he said. “They don’t draw heat upon themselves.”

But Pelz, who worked in the Texas prison system for 21 years, said the gang has a history of threatening officials and of killing its own members or rivals.

The 18-count indictment accused gang members of being involved in three murders of rival gang members, multiple attempted murders, kidnappings, assaults and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine.

Some of the attempted murders in the indictment involved gang members who were targeted for not following orders or rules or who were believed to be cooperating with law enforcement. The indictment also see next page

Community College touts nursing program to visiting Rep. Shea-Porter

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — First District Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter, accompanied by officials of the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA), visited Lakes Region Community College yesterday to mark the beginning of National Community Development Week.

Speaking in the Bennett Library the Rochester Democrat lauded those engaged in the myriad of projects undertaken beneath the umbrella of community development — from providing affordable housing, restoring historic landmarks to fostering cultural resources — as “unsung heroes,” who contribute “small solutions to big problems.”

Noting that “funding is always in peril,” she warned that the impact of the sequester, or across the board cuts in federal spending, will be felt. “My job,” she began — then spotting New Hampshire State Senate Andrew Hosmer (D-Laconia) among her listeners, remarked “and I see a state senator here” — is to make sure you have the funding to do the great work you do.”

Ben Frost of the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, stressed the importance of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships programs, both funded by the federal government. The first has fallen 33-percent since 2001, while second, which annually provides more than $30-million of investment in some 200 affordable housing units and supports nearly 450 jobs in the construction industry. Since 2001, funding for the CDBG program has fallen by a third while funding for the HOME program has been nearly halved since 2010.

An introduction to the nursing program, operated in partnership with LRGHealthcare, was the highlight of Shea-Porter’s visit. Wendy Wilson, who directs the program, explained that although curfrom preceding page alleges that gang members discussed killing a police officer in 2008 and allegedly ordered a subordinate gang member to kill a prospect “and to return the victim’s severed finger as a trophy.”

Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies throughout Texas were on high alert, and steps were being taken to better protect DAs and their staffs.

In Kaufman County, deputies escorted some employees into the courthouse Monday after the slayings stirred fears that other public employees could be targeted. Law enforcement officers were seen patrolling

rently housed in a few rooms of the academic building, the program will move to expanded space on the lower floor of the new building currently under construction. The equipment, featuring automated manikins simulation the changing symptoms and conditions of live patients, is funded by a community development block grant awarded by the CDFA.

The two-year nursing program offers an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing, preparing graduates to become licensed registered nurses. Repeating a phrase that has been a staple of her campaign rhetoric, Shea-Porter encouraged the students to make the most of “the opportunity to have an opportunity” by pursing their education and training.

outside the courthouse, one holding a semi-automatic weapon, while others walked around inside.

McLelland was the 13th prosecutor killed in the U.S. since the National Association of District Attorneys began keeping count in the 1960s.

Deputies were called to the McLelland home by relatives and friends who had been unable to reach the pair, according to a search warrant affidavit.

When they arrived, investigators found the couple had been shot multiple times. Cartridge casings were scattered near their bodies, the affidavit said.

Authorities have not discussed a motive.

The slayings also called to mind the death of Colorado’s corrections director, Tom Clements, who was killed March 19 when he answered the doorbell at his home outside Colorado Springs. Two days later, Evan Spencer Ebel, a white supremacist and former Colorado inmate suspected of shooting Clements, died in a shootout with Texas deputies about 100 miles from Kaufman.

In an Associated Press interview shortly after the Colorado killing, McLelland himself raised the possibility that Hasse was gunned down by a white supremacist gang.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kevin Ware is already up and walking, and he’s got a nice souvenir to keep him company until he’s cleared to return to Louisville.

Cardinals coach Rick Pitino brought the Midwest Regional championship trophy when he visited Ware, who remains hospitalized after surgery to repair a gruesome fracture in his right leg.

“He was real excited about (the trophy),” Pitino said after visiting Ware again Monday morning. “I said to him, ‘You want me to bring it back or stay with you?’ He said, ‘It’s staying with me.’ I said, ‘All right, just make sure you don’t lose it.’”

During a 2-hour surgery Sunday night, doctors reset Ware’s broken tibia and inserted a rod into the bone. Because the bone broke through the skin, Pitino said doctors are monitoring Ware to make sure no infection develops. If there are no complications, he should be released Tuesday.

The Cardinals plan to leave for the Final Four in Atlanta on Wednesday night, and Pitino said they expect to have Ware with them. Ware is originally from New York City, but he moved to the Atlanta area before high school.

“He gets to go home, be with his family and be with us on the bench,” Pitino said. “He’s in very good spirits and anxious to get out of the hospital and get back with the guys.”

Ware’s right leg snapped in the first half of Sunday’s Midwest Regional final when he landed awkwardly after trying to contest a 3-point shot. The horrific injury devastated his teammates, and several fell to the court crying. Chane Behanan, Ware’s best friend on the team, had to be helped to his feet.

But before Ware was wheeled off the court on a stretcher, he repeatedly urged the Cardinals to “just go win the game.” The Cardinals did, beating Duke 85-63 to reach their second straight Final Four, and they said afterward there was no way they could have let Ware down.

“Right before the surgery, when he was able to watch the players at the press conference, the nurses and doctors told me that was the first time he broke down and cried, when the players were talking about him,” Pitino said.

Ware’s injury dominated social media Sunday night, and Pitino said the sophomore guard has been moved by all the messages of support. Joe Theismann, whose NFL career was ended by a horrific broken leg in a Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants, has called Ware, Pitino said.

On Sunday, Theismann tweeted, “Watching Duke/ Louisville my heart goes out to Kevin Ware.”

Come Swim With Us!

Television analyst Greg Anthony also called, and Pitino said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski called him Monday to see how Ware was doing.

“A lot of really positive calls that are making him feel good,” Pitino said.

Pitino and his son, Richard, who recruited Ware while he was on his father’s staff, were at the hospital when the sophomore guard got out of surgery and went back Monday morning. Ware’s girlfriend stayed with him overnight, and his mother and her husband arrived Monday.

“She just needed to see him this morning,” Pitino said. “She was crying all night. Once she gave him a hug this morning, she was fine. Everything is good right now.”

Ware was back on Twitter early Monday, thanking everyone from Kobe Bryant to Lil Wayne and other well-wishers. He wrote that he would be back “by next season” and quipped that he “should of blocked that shot.” Among his visitors was NCAA President Mark Emmert, spokeswoman Stacy Osburn said.

“He was there to see how the student-athlete was doing and offer words of encouragement,” she said of Emmert.

Kenny Klein, Louisville’s sports information director, tweeted a picture of Ware on crutches Monday.

Richard Pitino, now the coach at Florida International, posted photos of Ware with his family and with the championship trophy.

While some have speculated that Ware could have had a previous stress fracture that left him predisposed to such an injury, Pitino discounted that, saying there was “nothing prior.”

“Basically his leg went one way and his shoe went another and the bone split,” Pitino said. “There’s no preexisting thing that makes it do that.”

STABBING from page 2 Overall, the number of Americans and other foreign forces killed in Afghanistan has fallen as their role shifts more toward training and advising government troops instead of fighting.

But a series of so-called insider attacks on foreign troops by Afghan forces of insurgents disguised as them has threatened to undermine the trust needed to help President Hamid Karzai’s government take the lead in securing the country after more than 11 years at war.

1084 UNION AVE | LACONIA | 603.524.1601

Red Sox beat Yankees in opener, 8-2 NEW YORK (AP) — Jackie Bradley Jr. and the Red Sox were daring on the basepaths. Jon Lester and the Boston bullpen were aggressive against a barely recognizable New York Yankees’ lineup.

The Red Sox looked as if they were in a hurry to put a dreadful 2012 season behind them. They’re off to an impressive start, giving new manager John Farrell an 8-2 win on opening day Monday.

“I think how you saw it (Monday) is how we can win a lot of ballgames,” new designated hitter Jonny Gomes said. “It was kind of all there early.”

Shane Victorino led a revamped Red Sox lineup with three RBIs and Bradley walked three times and scored twice in his big league debut. Boston’s big day against CC Sabathia (0-1) came a year after it lost its first three games under Bobby Valentine and went on to a 69-93 finish.

Facing a Yankees lineup minus injured Derek Jeter for the first time since 2001 and just three starters from opening day a year ago, Lester (1-0) gave up five hits and two runs in five sharp innings against the defending AL East champions.

“It’s big,” Lester said. “It’s obviously a lot nicer than the past couple of years to be on top 1-0 instead of going through a whole road trip without a win again.”

Yankees stars Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira also are on the disabled list.

“You’re talking about some of the best players in the game. It’s going to be a little different,” Sabathia said. “But we know what we have to do and who’s not here. That’s not an excuse.”

Bradley, meanwhile, made an immediate impact after earning a spot with a strong spring training performance.

In his first plate appearance, the ever-smiling 22-year-old outfielder worked a one-out walk after falling behind 0-2. That helped Boston touch up the big lefty for four runs in the second inning — and start the angry rumblings of 49,514 anxious Yankees fans.

Young No. 44 then stole a potential RBI hit from Robinson Cano with a running, twisting grab in a swirling wind in left field in the third. Bradley added an RBI groundout in the seventh.

All in a day’s work for the unflappable rookie.

“I wasn’t nervous. I was ready,” Bradley said. “Just trying to do whatever I can to help the team win.”

The punchless Yankees had just one hit after the fifth inning against five relievers in losing a season opener at home for the first time since 1982, after 11 straight wins.

Adding to the tough day all around for New York, rain in the ninth inning sent fans running for cover while the Red Sox scored three times against a mustachioed Joba Chamberlain.

Jacoby Ellsbury had a sharp two-run infield single that first baseman Lyle Overbay, picked up off waivers only a week ago, couldn’t handle for his third hit.

Victorino singled home Bradley to add to the romp.

“We want to put pressure on the opposition,” Farrell said. “And that’s not strictly with attempted steals and how we look to run the bases first to third, but the attitude and how we go about our work.”

One team in New York won on Monday, though.

In a first, the Yankees and Mets opened on the same day at the same time. The Mets finished off an 11-2 victory while their Bronx counterparts were in the eighth inning.

Before the game, the Yankees held a tribute to the victims of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., and honored first responders at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Both teams wore a patch that included the Newtown seal, a black memorial ribbon and 26 stars, one for each victim.

No matter the colorful history between the clubs, the reality in 2013 is this: The two teams that have dominated the division for more than a decade enter opening day with considerably less swagger.

Heck, the Yankees played as if they were still trying to get to know each other — and they were, with several March acquisitions.

The Bleacher Creatures’ roll call was loaded with new names because of injuries and the departures of free agents Nick Swisher and Russell Martin.

“We brought some guys in later into camp,” manager Joe Girardi said. “They’re going to get a lot of opportunities here, and we’re going to need them to perform.”

One name the Creatures did include was closer Mariano Rivera, who is coming back from a torn knee ligament and said during spring training he plans to retire at the end of the season.

But he wasn’t needed in this one after Boston jumped out to an early lead. That was enough for Lester, who looked more like the pitcher who won at least 15 games every year from 2008-11 and not the one who went 9-14 last year.

Boston wasn’t at full strength, either. David Ortiz is on the disabled list with sore heels, the first time he was not the Red Sox designated hitter for the opener since Jeremy Giambi in 2003.

The Red Sox had only four players from their opening-day lineup last year starting in this one: Dustin Pedroia, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Ellsbury and Lester, making his third consecutive such start.

Even weirder: former gritty Red Sox star Kevin Youkilis was clean-shaved and in Yankees pinstripes.

“I think we’re making it more than it is,” he said.

“I go out there and play. I don’t sit down and stare at my uniform all game.”

Making his 10th opening-day start overall, Sabathia settled after the second to allow four runs and eight hits.

Francisco Cervelli, who spent nearly all last season in Triple-A, had a two-run single off Lester in the fourth and made a swift tag on Ellsbury sliding into home plate in the sixth.

from preceding page soldiers had secured an area for a meeting of U.S. and Afghan officials in a province near the volatile border with Pakistan.

But one of two senior U.S. officials who confirmed that Cable had been stabbed by a young man said the assailant was not believed to have been in uniform so it was not being classified as an insider attack.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonym-

ity because the investigation is ongoing, said the attacker was thought to be about 16 years old. He escaped so his age couldn’t be verified.

Cable’s brother Raymond Johnston, a 42-year-old waiter in Owensboro, Ky., said the Army told the family the basics of what happened and that his brother was stabbed in the neck from behind.

Johnston said his brother, who also did a tour of duty in Iraq, was “prepared before he left for anything that happened” in Afghanistan.

ANY PHOTOS IN YOUR FUTURE? Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal... not to mention marriages, graduations, proms and reunions! How can you revitalize your smile in time for those memorable pictures? Have you ever considered brightening up your smile with whiter teeth? Color changes may be intrinsic (inside the tooth) or extrinsic (surface stain).

Intrinsic color changes may be caused by use of certain antibiotics, illness, or too much fluoride during childhood. An injury may cause a tooth to turn dark or discolor. As we age, most of us show more yellow and grey in our teeth even when they are healthy. Recently, Consumer Reports tested 41 different toothpastes and found some brands helped to remove extrinsic stain. But, if you want brighter teeth, you may want to whiten them in more substantial way than you can get with a toothpaste. One popular procedure involves making a soft custom fitted carrier which is lined daily with a special bleaching gel (made just for teeth) and worn for a couple hours a day or at bedtime. Some results are usually seen within 7-10 days. After you achieve the desired result (3-4 weeks), you only need annual touch-ups. A brighter, whiter smile makes a great impression. Ask your dentist if you are a good candidate for whitening, and smile for the camera… ☺ George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An insistent and strong-willed person may try to circumvent your authority. This could be an up-and-comer or your own progeny. You may smile and make light of things, but in the end, you’ll stay firm.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

As the moon moves out of your sign, you may feel that in some way the pressure is off. You may even take a few hours to goof around. Being unproductive on purpose is oddly relaxing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your tendency is to accept too much responsibility for things gone wrong and not enough credit for what goes right. You’ll get the chance to fix this imbalance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is only natural to be skeptical of people who are overly nice and complimentary or who make claims of instantly falling in love with you. You want to earn respect and admiration; otherwise, it feels cheap.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Perpetual dissatisfaction throws up a red flag to the universe warning that you’re hard to please. Loving what you already have is a prerequisite to attracting more.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 2).

This year will not resemble last year, and this is a good thing. Your “repeat” button was getting worn out anyway.

Your living arrangements will change this month as a result of your beauty and truth-seeking. May comes in a rush of passion. July is your chance to gain professional rank or publicity that translates into money. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 17, 43, 2 and 8.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To see better, use the long view. It will reveal interesting patterns and colors. It will show you how boring stretches beautifully outline and emphasize the busier parts of this picture called “Life.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A project hits a sticking point. To get unstuck, make a list of ridiculous, absurd and impractical solutions. Then have fun reversing them -- turning them upside down, inside out, back and forth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Lighthearted ridicule, put downs and teasing can cause real damage. This subtle form of shaming must be stopped, and you’re just the avenger to do the job.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Too many people agreeing with one another is bad for groups. Like-mindedness can limit creativity. Strong groups encourage diversity, which is something to consider now as you operate among friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you drop your defenses, you realize that your ego is not as fragile as you thought it was. In fact, you’re pretty tough emotionally, especially when you’re acting on behalf of loved ones.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Knowing too much about your problem may be preventing you from seeing the solution. Those who are ignorant of the issue may come up with the very best solution of all. Reach out to children and newbies!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Hearing entails sound waves bouncing around in a person’s head. Listening involves the processing and interpretation of those sounds into ideas, information and emotion. You are loved for doing this so well.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, April 2, the 92nd day of 2013. There are 273 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 2, 1863, during the Civil War, the Richmond Bread Riot erupted in the Confederate capital as a mob made up mostly of women, outraged over food shortages and rising prices, attacked and looted stores.

On this date: In 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon and his expedition landed in present-day Florida. (Some historians say the landing actually occurred the next day, on April 3.)

In 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act, which authorized establishment of the U.S. Mint.

In 1800, Ludwig van Beethoven premiered his Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21, in Vienna.

In 1912, the just-completed RMS Titanic left Belfast to begin its sea trials eight days before the start of its ill-fated maiden voyage.

In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying, “The world must be made safe for democracy.” (Congress declared war four days later.)

In 1932, aviator Charles A. Lindbergh and John F. Condon went to a cemetery in The Bronx, N.Y., where Condon turned over $50,000 to a man in exchange for Lindbergh’s kidnapped son.

(The child, who was not returned, was found dead the following month.)

In 1942, Glenn Miller and his orchestra recorded “American Patrol” at the RCA Victor studios in Hollywood.

In 1956, the soap operas “As the World Turns” and “The Edge of Night” premiered on CBS-TV. In 1968, the science-fiction film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, had its world premiere in Washington D.C. In 1982, several thousand troops from Argentina seized the disputed Falkland Islands, located in the south Atlantic, from Britain. (Britain seized the islands back the following June.)

One year ago: A gunman killed seven people at Oikos University, a Christian school in Oakland, Calif. (Suspected gunman One (wahn) Goh was found not mentally fit for trial until deemed competent.) President Barack Obama challenged the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold his health care overhaul during a Rose Garden news conference.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled, 5-4, that jailers may perform invasive strip searches on people arrested even for minor offenses.

Jazz-age Paris comes to life at Pitman’s Freight Room

LACONIA — A violinst and Gypsy Jazz aficionado will perform at Pitman’s Freight Room on Thursday, April 11.

Doors at the venue, located at 94 New Salem St., will open at 7:15.

Daisy Castro started playing violin at the age of 6. The same year that she started playing, she took a trip to France with her parents, where she was first introduced to the style of music known as “Jazz Manouche” or “Gypsy Jazz, “ a genre created

by Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt, and French violinist, Stephane Grappelli in pre-war Paris.

Intrigued as a listener from the start, over the years Castro has found this music to be a perfect fit for her playing style.

She recorded and released her first solo CD, “Gypsy Moth” at the age of 13, which bears a strong Gypsy Jazz influence. Her second CD, recorded at the age of 15, will be released in April.

Castro will be joined for her New England CD release tour by guitarists Ryan Flaherty and Michael Arciero of the Portland-based band The Burners, and bassist Derek Van Wormer of the Boston-based Jason Anick Trio.

Tickets are $10. Seating is general admission.

Concert information can be obtained by callingPitman’s at: 603 527 0043.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My father, my brothers and I all served during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Only my father and I deployed to combat areas.

Dad retired five years ago and is showing drastic symptoms of PTSD. He is stockpiling food and medical supplies and keeps trying to get my wife and me to “prepare” for when “it all hits the fan.” He spends hours a day obsessively watching the news and getting angry at the television. Our children used to spend time unsupervised with my parents, but that stopped when I found a loaded handgun in his bathroom cabinet.

My mother has broached the topic of therapy, and I’ve offered to go with him, as I’ve been wrestling with some mild PTSD issues myself. But my brothers intercede every time and say Dad’s fine and it’s no big deal, and they convince him not to go. I believe this is dangerous. I’ve been unable to find any home counseling services, and even our pastor says this is out of his realm of expertise. What other options are out there? -New York Son Dear Son: You may have better luck getting your father to accept help if you approach this as a possible medical problem, rather than a psychiatric issue. We also suggest you ask him to join you for an exercise or yoga class, which can be useful for some PTSD sufferers. Also, please contact the VA’s National Center for PTSD (ptsd.va.gov) or Military One Source (militaryonesource.mil) at 1-800-342-9647, and ask to speak to a counselor or get a referral to local military treatment facilities.

Dear Annie: My maternal grandparents passed within months of each other. My mother hated her parents and kept them away from us. I never knew them well.

I’m in my late 20s and have never been an emotional person.

I went to my grandparents’ funerals out of respect, but my sister went overboard, sobbing and moaning during the service even though she knew them less than I did. For weeks after,

she emailed and texted me saying she couldn’t sleep and that she’d never “fill the hole” the loss represented.

My sister and my parents say I’m heartless because I didn’t respond this way. My mother actually upbraided me for not weeping sufficiently. People grieve in different ways. How do I nicely ask them to please stop crying on me because it’s making me uncomfortable? -- Not Grieving That Much Dear Grieving: Unless someone is crying on you day after day, please try to tolerate what you can, and then gently extricate yourself. Pat them on the shoulder. Get them a seat. Ask if they need a tissue. Then walk away. You don’t have to demonstrate such obvious mourning yourself. You are right that everyone grieves differently, and you are not obligated to put on a show. But it would be useful to learn how to convey sympathy to others, whether or not you believe they deserve it.

Dear Annie: I was surprised to learn that people register for housewarming gifts. I thought housewarming gifts were something simple like a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine or flowers. A neighbor brought me a cutting from a cactus that has bloomed on time for more than 40 years.

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I thought you furnished your house yourself as you were able over the years. -- Canaan, Conn.

Dear Canaan: Most guests bring gifts to a housewarming. A registry is a bit much, but there is nothing wrong with having a friend or relative make suggestions when asked.

Dear Readers: We are carrying on Ann Landers’ tradition that April 2 be set aside as Reconciliation Day, a time to make the first move toward mending broken relationships. It also would be the day on which we agree to accept the olive branch extended by a former friend or estranged family member and do our best to start over.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please e-mail your questions to: anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
