FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA – More than an acre of wetlands, virtually all of it in Laconia, would be affected under a plan to double the size of the Walmart in Gilford.

A representative of WS

Development, the owner of the Walmart Plaza on Lake Shore Road, along with project consultants, talked about the wetlands implications before the Laconia Conservation Commission Thursday evening.

The discussion was informal

because the commission lacked a quorum.

Tom Sokoloski, a soil scientist and wetlands specialist with Schauer Environmental Consultants, described the area in question as “marginal wetlands” and said that alter-

ing them would have relatively little impact on the ecology of the area. He said much of the ground within the wetlands area was hard-pack soil, not wet marshlands commonly found in wetlands. see WaLL MarT page 13

Safety an issue if Zimmerman is released on bail today

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — After spending a week in a jail cell by himself, the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murdering Trayvon Martin stands a good chance of being granted bail Friday, despite the severity of the seconddegree murder charge he faces.

Whether George Zimmerman is allowed to leave the county as he awaits trial — and how he would remain safe — are two questions likely to be at the center of the hearing at the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center, legal experts say.

“Although it’s not routine for people charged with murder to get bond, they do get bond, and I think there is an excellent argument to be made in his specific case for him to be released on bond,” said defense attorney Randy see BAIL page 9

Thousands pay respects to slain Greenland police chief HAMPTON (AP) — The Greenland police chief killed in a firefight a week ago was remembered Thursday as a hero who put fellow officers’ lives first. The comments came during a solemn service at a packed high school stadium where Michael Maloney played football as a teenager about 30 years ago.

“Here at Michael Maloney’s beloved alma mater ... we bid farewell to a proud native son, a dedicated public servant, a loving husband, father and grandfather, and also a hero in every sense of the word,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told a hushed audience at the Winnacunnet High School athletic field that included thou-

sands of police officers.

Holder also acknowledged the presence of four members of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s drug task force who were injured during the deadly raid at the home of 29-year-old Cullen Mutrie of Greenland. After firing on the officers, Mutrie turned the gun on a female companion — Brittany Tibbetts — and then on himself. Both were dead at the scene.

Court documents unsealed since the shootings show police believed the pair were selling high volumes of oxycodone pills out of the house on a regular basis.

The injured officers are Detective Gregory Turner, 32, a six-year veteran of the

Dover Police Department, Detective Eric Kulberg, 31, a seven-year veteran of the University of New Hampshire department, Detective Scott Kukesh, 33, a 10-year veteran of the Newmarket department and Detective Jeremiah Murphy, 34, a sevenyear veteran of the Rochester department.

Maloney, 48, was shot once in the head as he scrambled to pull his injured colleagues out of the line of fire. He was eight days away from retirement and considered the raid to be the last bit of police work he had to clear up. A retirement party had been scheduled at the Portsmouth Country Club next week. see MALONEY page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — It isn’t Mitt Romney who’s giving Barack Obama fits as the president pivots to re-election mode.

It’s those federal bureaucrats carousing in Las Vegas, the Secret Service consorting with Colombian prostitutes and U.S. soldiers posing with bloody enemy corpses.

The scandals are taking a toll. They are distracting embarrassments that are dominating public attention while Obama seeks to focus on difficulties abroad and jobs at

home. And they are giving Republicans an opportunity to question his competence and leadership, an opening for Romney in a race so close that any advantage might make a difference.

Even if the Democratic president escapes being defined by these flare-ups, they still feed a story line that can erode public confidence in Washington institutions, fuel a perception of federal excess and frustrate Obama’s argument that government can

be a force for good.

The White House response has been textbook — a mix of outrage and deflection.

“The president has been crystal clear since he was a candidate about the standards that he insists be met by those who work for the federal government and on behalf of the American people and for the American people,” says White House spokesman Jay Carney. see SCANDALS page 13

Norway killer says he sharpened his aim by playing video game OSLO, Norway (AP) — Anders Behring Breivik knew it would take practice to be able to slaughter dozens of people before being shot by police. In a chilling account, the far-right fanatic claimed Thursday that he sharpened his aim by playing the video game “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” for hours on end.

Breivik told an Oslo court he also took steroids to build physical strength and meditated to “de-emotionalize” himself before the bombing and shooting rampage that left 77 people dead. He figured he had no more than a 5 percent chance of not being killed by police.

His lack of remorse and matter-of-fact description of weapons and tactics — he even considered using a flame thrower — were deeply disturbing to families of the victims, most of whom were teenagers.

“They perceive him as evil and dangerous and reopening wounds,” said Mette Yvonne Larsen, a lawyer representing the bereaved.

“It’s one thing to read explanations, it’s quite another to hear a person present such a message,” Larsen said. “I am personally quite shocked.”

Breivik testified that he prepared for his attacks

by cutting off contact with the outside world and devoting himself to video games. He said he played “World of Warcraft” for 16 hours a day while living with his mother in 2006 and, starting in January 2010, played “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare,” primarily to get a feel for how to use rifle sights.

Christopher Ferguson, a clinical psychologist at Texas A&M International University, said that although some research suggests action games can improve “visuospatial cognition,” it’s difficult to say whether Breivik could have improved his accuracy by playing “Modern Warfare.”

“Let us keep in mind too that he was shooting kids on an island from which they could not escape easily,” said Ferguson, whose research involves the impact of violent video games on behavior. “That does not require great accuracy.”

And while the belief persists of a link between violent video games and violent behavior, studies have shown that is not the case, he said.

Norway has been roiled by the trial since it began Monday.

The public TV network NRK is broadcasting live from court

but isn’t allowed to show Breivik’s testimony.

Pictures of the confessed mass killer, smirking or flashing his clenched-fist salute, have filled newspaper front pages. For readers who’ve had enough of his antics, the Dagbladet newspaper website has posted a link to a Breivik-free edition.

But many say finding out what motivated Breivik is crucial for the country to put the July 22 massacre behind it.

“We should consider ourselves lucky to have this trial to uncover his thoughts and values,” said Oeystein Stoltenberg, a 59-year-old Oslo resident.

Breivik, who styles himself as a modern-day crusader, has confessed to the attacks but rejects criminal guilt, saying he was acting to protect Norway and Europe by targeting a left-leaning political party that he claims betrayed the country by opening it up to “Islamic colonization.”

Since Breivik has admitted to the bombing that killed eight people in Oslo and the shooting massacre that left 69 dead at a Labor Party youth camp on Utoya island, the key issue is to establish whether he is criminally insane.

Rumors swirl that Apple will introduce the smaller iPad that Steve Jobs hated NEW YORK (AP) — Apple generates more gossip than the Kardashians.

There’s a constantly spinning mill of rumors about Apple products, most of which turn out to be untrue.

What’s unusual this week is that talk has revived of a smaller iPad model, an idea company founder Steve Jobs derided publicly a year before he died.

Apple and its suppliers aren’t commenting. Rumors of a smaller iPad, or “iPad mini” have percolated ever since the first iPad was launched two years ago. This time around, they’re fed by media reports from South Korea, China and Taiwan, saying Apple has ordered Samsung screens that are 7.86 inches measured on the diagonal. That would make the screen about twothirds the size of the current iPad, which has a diagonal measurement of 9.7 inches.

— WHY IT’S A GOOD IDEA: A smaller tablet would help Apple further its lead in the tablet market.

“From a competitive standpoint, we believe an iPad mini with a lower price point would be the competition’s worst nightmare, says Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee. “Most (competitors) already have a tough enough time competing against the iPad 2, as well as the new iPad.” Apple has successfully fended off competitors who

Advanced General Dentistry

have tried to sell tablets in iPad’s size range. But last year, Amazon.com Inc. figured out how to crack Apple’s stranglehold on tablets by making a halfsize, no-frills tablet. The result was the Kindle Fire, which sells for $199 —basically, the cost of production. Amazon has sold millions of them.

Apple sells the iPod Touch for $199, but its screen is about a quarter of the size of the Kindle Fire — a big disadvantage for people who want to enjoy books, movies and games. It also sells the older iPad model for $399. It has nothing in between.

Price isn’t the only reason customers might prefer a smaller tablet. A 7-inch model would fit in many handbags, unlike the current iPad.

Wu says he’s seen evidence of Apple experimenting with both smaller and larger tablet screens since 2009, and doesn’t sense that the release of an iPad mini is “imminent.”

— WHAT IT MIGHT COST: It could be hard for Apple to make money from an iPad-quality 7-inch tablet that sells for $299. Analysts at IHS iSuppli estimate that a smaller tablet would cost around $250 to produce, a figure that doesn’t include development costs, packaging or patent royalties. That suggests Apple would price it at $329 or $349.

“The first thing you always have to keep in mind is: Apple is not going to sell an unprofitable product,” says Rhoda Alexander at iSuppli.

from preceding page river herring swim up the Kennebec River each spring, one of the largest river herring runs on the East Coast.

He said that thanks to the cooperation of the Maine Department of Marine Resources, river herring from Maine waters are now available to stock in New Hampshire.

Carpenter said that based on the lack of opposition to the reintroduction of alewives, the depart-

ment is poised to ‘’give it a shot, monitor it and stop it if we see any negative effects.’’

The second phase of the restoration plan involves building fish passage and removing barriers to migration so that, in the long term, river herring trap and transport would no longer be necessary.

“The ultimate goal of the proposed project is to create an abundant, self-sustaining population of river herring in the Merrimack River watershed,” said Carpenter.

Manhattan basement searched for 6-year-old who vanished 33 years ago NEW YORK (AP) — Police and the FBI searched a Manhattan basement Thursday for the remains of a 6-yearold boy whose 1979 disappearance on his way to school helped launch a missing children’s movement that put kids’ faces on milk cartons.

Etan Patz vanished on May 25, 1979, after leaving his family’s SoHo apartment for a short walk to catch a school bus. It was the first time his parents had let him go off to school alone.

A forensic team planned to dig up the concrete floor and remove drywall partitions to find blood, clothing or human remains in the building, just down the street from Etan’s home, police spokesman Paul Browne said. The work is expected to take up to five days.

FBI and police officials didn’t publicly announce what led them to the site, but a law enforcement official told The Associated Press that investigators made the decision to dig after an FBI dog detected the scent of human remains at the building over the past few weeks.

Investigators have long eyed the basement with curiosity because it can be accessed from the street on the boy’s route to school. At the time, the space was being used as a workshop by a neighborhood handyman who was thought to have been friendly

with Etan.

FBI investigators have interviewed the man several times over the years.

Investigators questioned him again recently, and as a result of those discussions decided to refocus their attention on the building, according to the law enforcement official.

The official spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Two other law enforcement officials also confirmed that an FBI dog had indicated the scent of human remains in the space.

Etan’s disappearance drew national attention to child safety, ushered in a generation of parents who became afraid to send their kids out alone and helped fuel a movement to publicize missing children’s cases. Etan’s face was among the first to appear on milk cartons. President Ronald Reagan declared May 25, the day of his disappearance, National Missing Children’s Day. Etan’s parents, Stanley and Julie Patz, became outspoken advocates for missing children. For years, they refused to change their phone number, in the hope that Etan was alive somewhere, and might call. They never moved, although they obtained a court order in 2001 declaring the boy dead.

Raymond middle schoolers protest lunch portions RAYMOND (AP) — They could have had a food fight. But a group of New Hampshire middle school students unhappy with their lunch options staged a silent protest in the cafeteria, instead.

About 100 students at Iber Holmes Gove Middle School in Raymond brought their bagged lunch one day last week instead of buying their food at school.

WMUR-TV reports among the stu-

dents’ complaints were that they had to buy two meals instead of just one to get full. They also said they wanted to see less cheese and more vegetables on the menu.

School officials said they were happy to listen— especially because the students took a mature approach.

Superintendent Jeannie Richards said the school took a survey of students’ concerns and soon will start to make changes

Jim Hightower

The Citizens United Gang The Lone Ranger was a masked man who was out to bring bad guys to justice. Ed Conard is a masked man who is out to bring bad guys to power.

A multimillionaire financier who was a top henchman in Bain Capital, Mitt Romney’s old outfit of corporate plunderers, Conard is currently riding with the small but fearsome Citizens United Gang, which has taken over presidential politics in our country.

Unlike the James Gang, the Dalton Boys and other robbers of yore who stole from banks and railroads, these thieves are bankers and high-rolling railroaders. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s edict in the infamous Citizens United case, they are now able to use unlimited amounts of their corporate wealth to create Super PACs, which are proving to be devastating weapons against democracy.

Conard is one of the gang of financial elites who’ve put a million dollars or more into Romney’s super PAC, enabling it to whack his opponents and take the GOP nomination with an unprecedented barrage of venomously negative advertising. Conard is known as a masked robber because he tried to disguise his million-dollar involvement by using the fake name of “W Spann.”

Incredibly, that’s not illegal — but it was so glaringly odd that Romney’s campaign had to compel Conard to fess up his real name.

Speaking of names, the Romney Super PAC is called “Restore Our Future.” Whose future does that mean? Not yours and mine, but theirs — the mega-donors’. This was candidly confessed by another member of the Citizens United Gang, hedge fund hustler Ken Griffin. He says he’s in Romney’s super PAC because, “I think (the ultrawealthy) actually have insufficient influence (in Washington). Those who have enjoyed the benefits of our system (must) protect the system.”

Rarely do you see such altruism on behalf of the selfish few!

These privileged ones have wielded their enormous wealth this year as cudgels to batter the election process and take the Republican presidential nomination for one of their own.

Romney — who amassed his quarter-billion-dollar fortune by borrowing piles of cash from rich speculators to take over a host of corporations, then firing as many workers as possible and slashing the pay of those who remain, thus

allowing him and his speculator partners to pocket the money that had gone to the employees — is a product of the system of financial iniquities that Griffin et al. holds so dear. No surprise then that he has taken a blood oath to preserve and extend that largely unregulated and tax-subsidized system. It’s both a legalized mugging and grand larceny.

Ironically, Romney claims to be the man who can “fix” America’s economy. Of course, he uses fix in the same sense that veterinarians use it. If you’re unclear on the concept, ask your dog or cat for details.

Unfortunately, the mugging by the Citizens United Gang has only begun. Not only is Restore Our Future by far the biggest presidential super PAC of them all — dwarfing Barack Obama’s, which is called Priorities USA Action — but its attacks will be supplemented by an even bigger super-super PAC, called American Crossroads. Created by campaign attack-meister Karl Rove and longtime Republican operative Ed Gillespie, this political battering ram intends to pound Obama (and America’s TV viewers) mercilessly with a staggering $200-million in bloody-ugly negative ads from now to Election Day. Besides sharing the same candidate, the two political funds also share a list of heavy hitters. Just three Texas billionaires, for example — Bob Perry, Harold Simmons and Robert Rowling — have already put $4,400,000 into Restore Our Future and another $16,500,000 into American Crossroads.

LETTERS Ray’s wrong; you can still wake up & smell the coffee downtown To the editor, The wind must have been blowing the wrong way when Ray Carbone wrote his column about our “Downtown cafés”. Alive and well, and flourishing, is the smell of fresh-brewed, locally roasted “Black Bear” specialty coffees, organic teas, pastries, home made donuts, French croissants, eggs and bacon and sandwiches of all kinds! Hot drinks, iced drinks and frozen drinks of all kinds! Coffee House Chili, soups and chowder are always on.

“My Coffee House”, is the only dedicated specialty coffee house in “Downtown Laconia”. Soon, we will be starting our fourth year at the intersection of Academy Street and 92 Court Street. We proudly server both the Belknap County Court House and the Laconia District Court House and all the surrounding law firms, banks, insurance companies, realtors, and many other local businesses.

When I was setting up the Coffee House, I wanted to recreate the coffee shops of the past, like Jimmy’s Bakery and Laflame’s and “Keller’s”.

A place where you could come and have a great cup of coffee and enjoy the friendship of family and friends.

A place where the owner might come over and sit down with you and have a cup of coffee. We seat 24 guests inside and our cobblestone patio seats six, overlooking the court houses. This was the old Laconia I grew up in.

“My Coffee House” has been constantly changing and growing. We listen to what you the customer want in “Your Coffee House”. Starting on Monday April 23rd, we will have free

WiFi for our customers and business partners. Soon we will have national news programs and sports playing all day. We might even have a game on!

We have added Ol’ Factory Soy Candles for sale and plan to have other locally made gifts.

We want “My Coffee House” to be the meeting place for you and your friends. As of now there are several groups that meet regularly, some include The Mommas and Me, Bible study groups, the Zumba Gales, and The Over 70, or is it Over 80 Swim Team. We have hosted birthday parties and baby showers, yes and even The Red Hat Ladies. We have supplied coffee and pastries for several LRCC meetings and have a close relationship with the Culinary Department at LRCC. We also participate in the 10-percent discount program for LRCC students, started by Larry Frates.

“My Coffee House”, along with “Mills Industries” have led the charge”, according to Ann Saltmarsh, who heads up the Laconia Public Works recycling program in Laconia.

We have supported The WOW TRAIL team, and several non profit organizations. We are a member of BIBA and discount BIBA card holders.

I want to also point out another “Café”, our good friends at “The Water Street Café”. They too serve a great breakfast and lunch and are well known in ”Downtown Laconia”.

Yes, Ray, The Cafés are alive and well in “Downtown Laconia”.

Mean people are a lot sicker than disabled they look down on To the editor, It is 2012 and still there are people who are still mean those who have mental disabilities. They say thinks like “those people” should live elsewhere, or treat them different than any other patient at the emergency room. They talk to them like you would talk to a child, or stand making circle’s with their hands.

It’s not easy being mentally ill, its a constant struggle every single day.

Please stop making fun of people, as it could happen to you. I have more respect for a person who admits they have a problem and asks for help, then I do for a person who makes a joke about people different from them.

The one making fun of them is truly a lot sicker than they are: they’ll get better, but the mean people never will.

Shame on you!

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 20, 2012 — Page 7

LETTERS The problem with Meredith Fire is not age, it’s poor management To the editor, I read in the Wednesday edition of The Daily Sun an article concerning the viability of the aging Meredith Fire Department and the need to add more interns to the department’s ranks.

First off I must say upfront that I am a former member of the department (2004-2009) but my position was terminated by the town for still — three years later — reasons unknown.

The Meredith Fire Department (MFD) does not have an aging department. It has severe management issues. Case in point; all of the younger members, who we will call the 20 somethings, are not interested in doing firefighting. They are way too good for that. All they want to do is drive the really cool fire trucks the town owns. That leaves the 40, 50 and 60+ year olds the task of having to don the heavy turnout gear and go into a building with an ax and start tearing down walls and ceilings. If I was one of these people I wouldn’t expect to have to do this while some 20-yearold kid was sitting in the driver’s seat of the fire truck watching. This is a direct reflection of poor management and a direct example of what leads to poor morale. The aging department is this way by the fire chief’s own doing.

The fire chief was quoted with several interesting remarks. He claims the interns are around during work hours on weekdays. When then may I ask do they attend class? He also is quoted as saying the interns have pretty much carried the department’s response. Oh really? If I were one of his aging volunteers I wouldn’t show up at all after that backhanded across the face statement.

The original intern program called for two live-in students who were there to learn the techniques of firefighting while getting their degrees and not to take the place of the regular members of the department. In fact, the rules were very clear. They were to give up their seat on the truck in favor of a regular member. I spent a great deal of time with the original two interns, who commonly remarked there was nothing to do but clean and no one would spend any time with them outside regular monthly training sessions. The living quarters in the addition were built with only two of the five dorm rooms having windows and the entire wing having very poor air flow and air quality. They also had no access to wifi Internet to do their school research projects on.

In my five years with the MFD, I never felt like part of a team. It was every man for himself in a department full of “know it alls” that knew little to nothing and refused to listen or consider someone else’s point of view.

I was also an advisor to the department’s Explorer program and set aside special Explorer training nights just for them so they could learn basic skills such as starting a generator and setting up emergency lighting. We also trained with surrounding departments Explorer’s so everyone would be on the same page at a mutual aid incident. A past Explorer who is now a regular firefighter crossed paths with me recently and told me how the Explorer program is pretty much nonexistent and the few currently on the roster get no attention whatsoever.

I agree with Mr. Brother’s statement that in the long term you are going to need professionals in the mix but in reality you could already have two full-time state certified firefighters for the next eight years for the same price as the tower ladder apparatus purchased in 2009 that people are still scratching their heads as to why we bought this truck.

I find it ironic that the same issue of The Daily Sun had a front page photo of a Meredith firefighter on a ladder at a fire in Laconia. If you notice you will see this firefighter is not prepared at all to fight a fire, which probably explains why he appears to be alone. He just looks like a worker’s comp case waiting to happen. He has no chin strap securing his helmet to his head and the fire retardant head protection is not being properly worn, proving him with zero protection to his face and entire head in the event of a sudden flare up. He is also not employing any type of leg lock on the ladder to prevent falling yet he is holding a fire hose which contains a typical pressure of 150-psi on average. Understanding basic physics and what is known as nozzle reaction one can conclude that opening this nozzle this close to the building will most certainly buy him a one way ticket to the ground. This shows how poorly this firefighter was trained and how poorly the MFD maintains basic competency drills.

When I was a recruit at the New Hampshire Fire Academy you did not want to ever get caught violating these most basic safety practices.

The only problem with the MFD is upper management’s failure to do their jobs and be held accountable.

Our current fire chief loves the job and community so much he lives two hours away in Maine.

Increasing the intern staffing from four to six will certainly have an impact. The “aging” volunteers won’t bother getting out of bed in the middle of the night while your home is burning down or you are trapped in a motor vehicle accident. Remember, an intern is just that, someone who is learning the job, not a master of it.

To all of the voters in town be prepared because fire chief itchy fingers wants to spend some money and your tax dollars are the only source. In the next few town meetings you can expect request’s somewhat in line with the following: — $500,000 for a rescue truck to replace current rescue van, Engine 4 and the breathing air trailer.

— $100,000 for new turnout gear — $200,000- $300,000 for two forestry trucks — $400,000- $600,000 for a new tanker truck — $60,000 for a new command vehicle — As much as you’ll write the check for a new fireboat — And the reason I began this rant; salaries. $150,000 a year for two professional state certified firefighters working eight hours a day, five days a week.

Just think, between them and six interns, we can have the same staffing levels as the City of Laconia while responding to only 20-percent of their call volume.

This is filthy rich Meredith and its only money.

Romney’s rebuilding a garage while Obama’s rebuilding America To the editor, Since when have we become the land of the whining? Since when have we forgotten to be the United States of America?.

Four years ago I was celebrating the day our president was elected. Now I’m fighting for him to get re-elected while listening to the media food fight.

I challenge you: find out for yourself.

Are you a student benefiting from Pell Grants? Then thank Obama. Are you a woman that believes in her independence? Then Obama is your guy. Are you a senior citizen who worked hard your whole life so that someone can take away your Social Security and Medicare? I didn’t think so. Obama won’t let that happen. Are you a mom or a dad who works tirelessly so your kids can have what you didn’t who is threatened by those who want to take away your rights as a worker? Then Obama is your candidate. If you think we need someone that doesn’t use fear or ignore the truth in order to motivate the public on guns, drugs, violence, bullying, or the environment then Obama deserves re-election.

I know what it’s like to work hard.

Don’t let the rhetoric in the media and fear-mongers with false slogans and a fear of facts undermine what you’ve worked for. Don’t allow this to happen.

President Obama has made America safer by eliminating bin Laden. His Administration has created jobs, and the collapsed economy he inherited is growing and hope is returning. Why would we vote for Romney when he is supporting every side of each issue but has failed to prove he can do anything but be out of touch with the American people. He’s rebuilding a garage with a car elevator while Obama has been rebuilding our country and trying to work with the party of “no” in Congress to get our country on track.

This coming election you can vote for someone who will only benefit the 1-percent and keep luxury alive or vote for someone who will work for the real America and keep hope alive. You have the final say. My vote is going to be cast for Barack Obama.

Spirit of America, neighbor helping neighbor, has died in Laconia To the editor, I am writing asking the citizens of Laconia for any help they could provide. My husband and I relocated to Laconia from Pennsylvania last summer. As if that was not stressful enough, my husband is a diabetic and has been diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease.

Throughout the past 10 months, we have experienced the very “standoffish” attitudes of those in power. We still continue to marvel at the fact that for those who are poor-there seems to be no help or resources in this area. It seems that if you need a hand up and out of a bad situation no one in the Lakes Region cares or wishes to help.

That is an issue which should be an outrage to others. The people who are working in existing programs in the area said that as the federal government sinks deeper into recession, demands for services locally continues to double.

We have also noticed that case man-

agers, who work within these agencies, have charge of an extensive case-load and they become overworked and exhausted. Which, in turn causes those who need help to receive either compromised assistance or in most cases no help what so ever. It then becomes very understandable as to why the local crime rate, drug usage, ect. amongst the younger population soar. Many seem as though this type of behavior may be the only way out of a bad situation or the only way to feel they could be heard. Even though exactly the opposite is true.

If anyone who lives in Laconia is aware of any solution, other than the usual social agencies — I would be all ears. I just felt it very important that others know that we are extremely ashamed to call Laconia, New Hampshire our home, as the spirit of America, neighbor helping neighbor, seems to have died here.

LETTERS Nature of how our government operates precludes long range planning To the editor, In the United States today, running for political office and holding a position of power in our government requires money, a lot of money. Washington DC has two major industries; turning money into power and power into money. In these two industries there are two major players; politicians and big corporations. The corporations finance the campaigns and then lobby for corporate deregulation of their particular industry, or tax breaks. They also get lucrative government contracts for core government functions. It is an I’ll scratch your back and you can scratch mine relationship.

In 2010 the Supreme Court decided that corporations have the same rights as citizens and allowed them to funnel money into political campaigns without any limits, controls, shareholder notification, or any obligation of disclosure.

The decision was called “Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission”. In his dissent Justice John Stevens criticized the conservative majority for ignoring common sense as well as 100 years of law. He said; “Although they make enormous contributions to our society, corporations are not actually members of it…

The financial resources, legal structure, and instrumental orientation of corporations raise legitimate concerns about their role in the electoral process”.

The role of big money in politics has completely corrupted all three branches of the federal government and as a result the American public has just about totally lost faith in the government to solve our serious problems. Barak Obama has an approval rating of around 35-percent but Congress has and abysmal approval rating of around 7-percent.

Our government has been outsourced to private contractors. They are the ones who pay the bills for Congress and the White House, which in turn sign the checks for the contracts. As a result of deregulation and outsourcing of federal functions our country has lived through one abject failure after another.

The list of government failures is long and growing longer all the time.

The intelligence agencies failed to anticipate 9/11. We launched a war over Iraqi weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. The Iraq and Afghanistan occupations were totally botched and is sure to cause more problems in the future. Hurricane Katrina was a national embarrassment. The banking crisis shattered our confidence in financial regulation.

The banking bailouts destroyed any remaining sense of fairness between Wall Street and Main Street. Now we face budget deficits that is choking our economy yet we continue to grant massive tax breaks to the richest Americans. Add to that we are more dependent of foreign oil today than ever even though the Department of Energy was formed in 1973 by President Jimmy Carter with the charter of reducing our dependency on foreign oil. In 2012 the United States is the only industrialized country in the world that does not have a national energy policy. Thank the lobbyist who block legislative efforts.

Here is a sobering fact: The top 1-percent of American households collects 21-percent of combined household income!

The corporate tax has turned into a joke. We hear that the United States has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world which is one of the reasons so many left to do business off shore, but the actual truth is the corporate tax is a sieve. There are so many loopholes in the tax code and ways to shelter income in foreign tax havens that collection of taxes from corporations is less than half today than it was in the 1960’s. In 2011 General Electric paid zero taxes, and it is perfectly legal. Remember the lobbying?

The crisis our government is in is deepening. It has lost its competency, direction, and capacity to solve our deeply rooted problems of the national debt, energy independence, crumbling infrastructure, poor schools, health care, and the shrinking of the middle class. We are at a point where I am reminded of a cartoon character which has run off the edge of a cliff and remains suspended in midair wondering what will happen next?

The nature of how our government operates today precludes any kind of long range planning to solve these problems. All these problems are solvable but with a two year election cycle we are constantly changing directions.

The highest and most important jobs in the federal government are political appointees and the guidance of our federal departments change constantly and so does the direction of that agency. There is no consistency, no long range planning, only short term appointments for those who are connected and are owed favors, to make a big salary for a couple of years then move into retirement.

Where do our elected officials go when their term expires and they do not run for re-election? A study by “Public Citizen” found that between 1998 and 2004 half the senators and 42-percent of House members became lobbyists. Another study found that 3,600 former Congressional aids went through that door too. Our elected officials are selling out the American people for personal gain.

Our enemy’s see our weakness and they are exploiting it. They are playing the American government like a fiddle.

Osama Bin Laden said many years ago that the way to bring down America was not with military force but to destroy our economy. Keep America embroiled in endless wars and make it cost. The IED that causes an American Soldier to lose a leg cost about as much as a large pizza but the damage it does cost the American taxpayer hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years for that soldiers care. Our government is playing right into this because back in the 1970s when we were at the crossroad of energy policy decision making we made the choice of turning the American military into a global security service for the global oil supply instead of investing in other means of powering our country and developing our own energy resources.

Our elected officials, whose strings were being pulled by big oil, chose to trade blood for oil; the blood of American Service men and women not to

mention our nation’s wealth. Today we send 1.24-billion dollars a day to oil producing nations. You would have to have your head in the sand if you think than none of that money is finding its way into enemy hands. What this means of course is that we are funding both sides of these wars. We fund our side through our taxes and we fund the enemy every time we fill up our cars. Our elected officials have been played for a bunch of fools and now all of us are paying the price.

It is time for change! Real change!

We the American People must rise up and throw both the Republicans and Democrats out altogether. I urge you all to do one simple thing. If you are a registered R or D, go to your town office and change your affiliation to Independent. It is simple and easy to do and if we all do this can send a powerful message. We have to demand that lobbying become illegal, and ban

elected officials to engage in any form of lobbying efforts of any kind for private corporations. We must insist of public financing of campaigns and put time limits and financial limits on running for office.

We have to make high level government jobs permanent positions and not political appointees. We need to create an office of long range planning to solve our problems which will take decades, but without long range planning cannot be solved effectively.

Our government needs a lot of other changes as well; term limits, a fairer simpler tax code, and an end to the corporateocracy that our government has become. Is there a ray of hope for us, perhaps, a new movement is afoot.

I urge you all to check out americanselect.org. It is small but maybe it is the pebble rolling down the hill.

Real scandal in Columbia involves displacement of 5.2-million To the editor, Reporting about President Obama’s visit to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas made it seem as though the most shocking news was about the Secret Service. However, the real scandal in Colombia is that ongoing war has created the largest internal displacement crisis in the world, with an estimated 5.2-million people left homeless after fleeing from violence.

And President Obama didn’t even mention it.

Another dirty little secret? Since 2000, Washington has sent approximately $8-billion from taxpayers in mostly military aid to the Colombian government, whose armed forces happen to have the worst human rights record in our hemisphere.

Yet, the greatest shocker of all is that President Obama gave the green

light for the U.S.-Colombia free trade agreement, despite that labor and human rights groups insist that the promises of the Labor Action Plan have not been fulfilled. How could President Obama say that everything is fine when union leaders and land rights activists continue to be assassinated, organizing is still suppressed, paramilitary groups spread terror in rural areas, and justice is still out of reach for most human rights cases?

This past week, tens of thousands of people across the United States took action to educate their communities about what’s happening in Colombia and to call for better U.S. policies.

What will it take for these scandals to get the coverage they deserve?

President Obama’s team is recommending 1% transaction tax To the editor, Hey all you sheep out there in lala land, who have too much money, who think this president is such a cool dude — please pay my one percent for me. Since most of you that voted for this person have the attention span of a three-year-old, I can almost bet that the same fools will vote for this person again. Pay attention if you can because unless you start minding your home and money, you will find socialism is not the way to go.

President Obama’s finance team is recommending a 1-percent transaction tax.

His plan is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar.

This is a 1-percent tax on all transactions at any financial institution i. e. Banks,

Credit Unions, etc.. Any deposit you make, or move around within your account, i. e. transfer to, will have a 1-percent tax charged. If your pay check or your Social Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1-percent tax charged. If you hand carry a check in to deposit, 1-percent tax charged, If you take cash in to deposit, 1-percent tax charged.

This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn.

Some will say it’s just 1-percent... remember once the tax is there they can raise it at will.

All the holy days are talked about & then it’s over, not important To the editor, Regarding Barbra J. Perry’s letter to the editor titled “Easter’s true meaning”: This is all very true. All the holy days are talked about then it’s over like it’s not important. Some people you can tell, it’s a bother to go to church. People should show thankful-

ness always. Like I always say after, thank the veterans. That’s a shame, all the talk and then its over.

Thank you Lord and the veterans very much. Without you I would not have a thing — no house, ect.

Special events planned for Laconia Parks include water ski show off Opechee Point LACONIA – City park facilities will be the venue for a variety of special events in the coming months following action by the city Parks and Recreation Commission this week.

Among the nine facility-use requests the commission addressed Monday evening was one by the Lakes Region Water Ski Enthusiasts which wants to use Opechee Point to put on a vintage ski boat show and ski race demonstration on Aug. 11. As part of the event, organizers of the Lakes Region Waterski Boat Classic also hope to stage a boat parade, safety demonstrations and water activities for children.

Another special event is slated to take place at the parking lot at Weirs Beach. The Granite State Autorama received permission to stage display of hot rods and muscle cars on Friday, July 27, from 6 to 9 p.m. The Weirs show, dubbed Rumble at the Weirs,

could attract as many as 500 to 700 cars, according to, Jim Cande, one of the organizers.

The commission also approved the request by the Weirs Action Committee to stage eight Friday night fireworks displays from Weirs Beach from July 3 through Sept. 2. No display is scheduled for Aug. 17, the weekend of the Timberman Triathlon.

Other special events include: — Lakes Region Habitat for Humanity to use the WOW Trail on Saturday, Sept. 29, for a walkathon.

— The Rich Velasquez Youth Sports Equipment Foundation to use the Opechee Park ball fields and parking lot for the start-finish line of a 5k road race on Oct. 27.

— The Laconia Kiwanis Club to use the Opechee Park parking lot for a bicycle rodeo, tentatively set for May 19.

BAIL from page 2 McClean, who practices in Seminole County, about 15 miles northeast of Orlando.

Zimmerman has several factors in his favor. For one, he has ties to the local community including family members who are expected to testify by telephone on his behalf at Friday’s hearing.

He turned himself in voluntarily after second-degree murder charges were filed against him last week, a good indication that he doesn’t pose a flight risk. He has never been convicted of a crime, which suggests that he doesn’t pose a threat to society, legal experts said.

“It’s hard for a prosecutor to argue he will leave, when up to this point he has been cooperative and everyone knows who he is,” said Stacey Honowitz, a veteran prosecutor in Broward County.

A spokeswoman for special prosecutor Angela Corey’s office said she wouldn’t comment on whether Corey would object to Zimmerman being released on bond.

Zimmerman’s safety weighed on the mind of his defense attorney right after he took on the case last week.

Mark O’Mara indicated he would

ask that Zimmerman be allowed to leave the area, if he is granted bond, because of those concerns. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester was assigned the case Wednesday after a previous judge recused herself because of a potential conflict of interest.

“Normally, the conditions are that you stay local. I think that is going to be difficult,” O’Mara said in an interview. “I think nobody would deny the fact that if George Zimmerman were walking down the street today, he would be at risk. That is a reality.”

O’Mara has also said he would prefer that Zimmerman be released so he can assist in building a defense case.

The judge would have discretion to allow Zimmerman to live elsewhere along with a number of restrictions such as a curfew, regular reporting requirement and possibly an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, said Florida International University law professor Joelle Moreno.

“That would be the kind of low-cost agreement between Zimmerman and the court that might make sense, so we’re not talking about police protection for an extended period of time,” Moreno said.

Forrester pledges to focus on economic opportunity if elected to a second term

By Michael Kitch

John Lynch, which has yet to gain the support of the House of Representatives. She said that the amendment would “finally help us to do something about the disparities that exist among the school systems in our state” by allowing the Legislature to target state aid to the neediest school districts.

With 19 of the 31 towns in her district in the path of either or both the preferred or the alternate route of Northern Pass, Forrester said that she not only closed a loophole in the eminent domain statute governing public utilities but also introduced a bill to study the feasibility of delineating an “underground energy corridor.”

Looking ahead, Forrester said that she wanted “to

continue the fight for economic prosperity in New Hampshire” by fashioning a 10-year plan for economic development. Describing successful economic development as “a collaborative effort,” including the public and private sectors as well as labor, academia and non-profit organizations, she said that all these stakeholders would be engaged in developing a strategy. “This plan will look at how to capitalize on our natural resources and assets; how to retain the businesses we have and attract new business through supportive state policies; and how to improve our communications and energy infrastructures,” she said.

Anticipating a “vigorous campaign,” Forrester said that she expected there would be some “stark contrasts.”

Earlier this week Robert Lamb, Jr. of Holderness, a former senior executive in financial services, announced that he would run for seat in District 2 on the Democratic ticket.

Senate District 2, as redrawn this year, consists of five towns in Belknap County — Center Harbor, Meredith, New Hampton, Sanbornton and Tilton — 20 towns in Grafton County — Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol, Campton, Danbury, Dorchester, Ellsworth, Grafton, Groton, Haverhill, Hebron, Holderness, Orange, Orford, Piermont, Plymouth, Rumney, Warren, Wentworth — and two in Merrimack County — Hill and Wilmot.

The district lost nine towns in Grafton County, of which Forrester carried six — Bath, Benton, Easton, Landaff, Monroe and Thornton — and lost three — Canaan, Lyme and Woodstock — in 2010.

Of the five towns added to the district — Danbury, Grafton, Hill, Tilton and Wilmot — the Republican candidate carried all but Wilmot in the last Senate election.

track, his family walking stoically behind. The casket was placed front and center of the sea of police uniforms, resting between his beloved motorcycle and police cruiser. A flag at half-mast rippled in the wind.

Otherwise, the silence in the stadium was profound.

He was remembered as an avid motorcyclist, fisherman and Patriots fan. Off-duty, he wore shorts and sandals whether it was summer or winter, friends said. But mostly, he was remembered as an officer dedicated to his colleagues and his community.

New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney called Maloney a friend, a trusted colleague and a role model.

“Through his bravery and swift action, he has humbled us, inspired us, and shown us what it means to fulfill a law enforcement oath to serve and protect,” he said. “He was not about to abandon his brother officers. He would not have it any other way.”

Gov. John Lynch said in his 26 years in law enforcement Maloney “became widely known and

widely loved.”

“He embraced Greenland like a father embraces his child,” Lynch said. “It was more than a job. It was a way of life.”

Most the speakers brought up Maloney’s love for his family and community. Photos shown of Maloney in the past week included one of him holding his newborn grandson and namesake, Michael Jacob — or M.J. U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said as a mother, that photo caught her attention more than anything else. She said people will tell M.J. when he grows up that his grandfather was a great human being who loved his family and a loyal friend who cared about his community and had compassion for the people he served.

Fellow law enforcement officers and a retired judge remembered Maloney as a commander who wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, but also had the confidence to remain in the background and allow others he worked with to do their jobs.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — State Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) yesterday announced her bid for reelection in District 2 before some 50 supporters gathered in the Carriage House at Church Landing.

Two years ago Forrester topped veteran lawmaker Fran Wendelboe of New Hampton in the Republican primary then ousted the two-term Democratic incumbent Deb Reynolds of Plymouth by a vote of 11,362 to 9, 414. She was the lone freshman to win a seat on the Senate Finance Committee and quickly gained prominence by successfully championing legislation to restrict the power of eminent domain.

“I am not a politician,” Forrester said, opening her remarks last evening.

She said that two years ago she promised to direct her energies to balancing the state budget, promoting economic growth and fostering a more favorable business climate. “I’m proud to say I’ve kept those promises,” she declared, conceding “but, it wasn’t easy.”

Forrester said that faced with $800-million deficit, difficult choices were required to overcome it. After cutting the budget by 11-percent, she said that “New Hampshire is now living within its means, without raising taxes or borrowing for operating expenses.”

The Legislature also took steps to slow the growth of spending in the future, she said, by requiring state agencies to present reduced budgets every two years.

Forrester expressed her support for legislation to increase the tax credit for investment in research and development and to ease the tax burden on firms by refining the deduction for reasonable compensation.

Forrester also touted the constitutional amendment to address the funding of public education adopted by the Senate and endorsed by Governor MALONEY from page 2 “Even when his comrades were wounded, Chief Maloney did not fall back,” Holder said. “He stood his ground and stayed with his team — working to help the others to safety.”

Diane Darling, a friend of Maloney and his wife, Peg, looked over the crowd in disbelief.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” Darling said.

“I just never imagined something like this would happen.”

More than 200 officers on motorcycles from throughout New England roared around the stadium. It took more than an hour for the procession of several thousand officers on foot to file in in formation. Among them was Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty in a wheelchair, leading his department’s contingent of more than 60 officers. Doherty was shot several times after a foot chase in a separate incident in Manchester last month.

Maloney’s casket was carried halfway around the

Laconia cafe finding it needs to weather a little storm as temp closing of Fair St. takes a bite out of business

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — As the owners of the Water Street Café are well aware, you can’t make an omelet without first breaking a few eggs. As such, the nearby railroad crossing at Fair Street can’t be upgraded without closing that road, used as a shortcut around downtown for those traveling two and from Meredith and Belmont.

Although the restaurant can still be accessed via Water Street or New Salem Street, Water Street Café owners Ted and Jennifer Roy said their business has dropped significantly when Fair Street has been closed for the construction project. On Monday, the first day that the street was closed, Ted estimated the café’s business was down about 60-percent, and on average this week has been 30-percent slower than usual, even though the roadway was open on Thursday and will be open again today.

Work began Monday as the Laconia Water Works began replacing a water main beneath the Fair Street railroad crossing. The crew took advantage of favorable weather and finished the job on Wednesday, two days ahead of schedule.

Next week, Busby Construction Comany and Main Track Maintenance, Inc. will replace the section of tracks that crosses Fair Street.

“You can look around and see the effect,” said Ted, sitting in the dining room on Thursday. Despite it

being the height of the lunch hour, there were only a few tables seated and one patron at the service bar.

To keep his kitchen and wait staff busy, the Roys are offering 25-percent off whenever Fair Street is closed. Although the water main project is done, the road is expected to be closed for most, if not all, of next week, for repair to the railroad track that crosses Fair Street just on the other (south) side of the bridge.

Ted said his clientéle is comprised of two general groups of people: local residents and workers who specifically seek out the café, and people using Fair Street to bypass downtown traffic lights who pull in out of convenience. The latter group of patrons seems to have found an alternative place for breakfast and lunch.

“The good thing is that the local people know us, they know there are other routes to get here,” Ted said, adding that he and Jennifer plan to stick to their regular hours despite the slow business. “We’re here, with our smiling faces, ready to serve them.”

Other nearby businesses, Martels Bait Shop and Boulia-Gorrell Lumber Company, reported little change in their business this week. “It wasn’t as bad as we thought it was going to be,” said Sally McGarry, treasurer for Boulia-Gorrell. She said it was “terrific” that the water main project finished ahead of schedule, however, “people still managed to find us.”

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 20, 2012— Page 13

WALMART from page one At issue is 31,152-square-feet of wetlands in Laconia. A much smaller area – 211 square feet – is located over the boundary in Gilford.

The wetlands would be altered by the planned Walmart addition, as well as construction of a new access road for use by delivery vehicles and installation of utilities.

WS Development project manager Caleb J. Perrin said that 22,000-square-feet of the existing Walmart would be demolished, and then a 60,000-squarefoot addition constructed, making the store 36,000-square-feet larger than it is presently. All of the added space would be on the Laconia side of the line that diagonally splits the current store.

The expansion area would be to the left of the current store and would run much deeper than the current structure in that area.

The new store would be a Walmart Supercenter, selling groceries in addition to department store merchandise. The Walmart store will remain open during construction, Perrin noted.

He said that the Chestnut Hill, Mass.-based WS Development expects to make formal site plan application to the Laconia and Gilford planning boards by early May and that wetlands permit applications would be submitted to the various local and state agencies later this month.

Engineer William Stack explained that the project would add another acre that would be covered by building, or paved roadways or parking areas. The additional water runoff would be channeled into an

upgraded retention pond on the property.

Conservation Commission Chairman Dean Anson said when WS Development and its consultants come back to present their official application they will need to explain what steps that will be taken to minimize erosion and siltation during the excavation and construction. He noted that a considerable amount of silt washed into Black Brook during the construction of the Lowe’s store at Winnipesaukee Crossing, across the roadway from Walmart Plaza.

Stack assured Anson that steps could be taken to prevent any runoff washing soil from the site into nearby brooks or ponds.

Attorney Rod Dyer, who is representing WD Development, said the group met with the Gilford Conservation Commission on Tuesday.

Perrin called the project “a substantial opportunity at a critical time” for the area’s economy. He said that even with the expansion the new Walmart would be 20,000-square-feet smaller than typical supercenter stores. Perrin said that Walmart nevertheless was committed to the scaled-down version because it wants to keep its presence in the LaconiaGilford area.

A half-dozen smaller stores in the Walmart Plaza – Hair Excitement, Nail Envy, Taipei Osaka, GameStop, Payless and Dollar Tree – would remain in the shopping center, altogether occupying some 7,500 feet. The 49,277-square-foot section of the plaza formerly occupied by Hannaford supermarket would be divided into three retail spaces for lease to new tenants.

SCANDALS from page 2 But taken altogether, the events have overwhelmed the president’s agenda. The Secret Service scandal broke while Obama was in Cartagena last weekend for a Summit of the Americas with more than 30 Western hemisphere leaders. Back home the headlines and the news anchors were hardly focusing on the summit, instead playing up the fact that 11 Secret Service agents and uniformed officers had been sent home on accusations of misconduct.

By the time the president got home, General Services Administration officials were appearing before congressional committees about a lavish Las Vegas conference and junkets to resorts, and more evidence of excess was beginning to emerge. Obama’s attempts to draw attention to his efforts against oil market manipulation on Tuesday and to help the economy on Wednesday were drowned out by further Secret Service revelations and by the publication of gruesome photos depicting GIs with the bodies of Afghan insurgents.

“Even though you may not be losing ground because it’s not the White House taking the hits, you’re no longer gaining ground because the White House doesn’t get its message out,” said Ari Fleischer a former spokesman for President George W. Bush.

Obama quickly tried to put distance between himself and the accounts of misbehavior. White House spokesmen avoided getting into specifics, instead citing investigations under way and referring reporters to the Secret Service or the GSA or the Pentagon.

“If it’s at an agency, White Houses do their best to keep it arms’ length and let the agency take the hits and deal with it,” Fleischer said. “I think that’s what’s going on here.”

Yet, the president can’t turn his back on the problems, either, and is ultimately held responsible for restoring the reputations of troubled agencies.

“Part of the president’s job is to protect the institutions of government,” said Paul Light, an expert on government bureaucracies and professor of public see next page

BOSTON (AP) — Jaime Gutierrez flew all the way from his home in El Salvador to attend Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary celebration.

“It’s a dream come true,” the 28-year-old Red Sox fan said. “Let’s just say I can scratch it off my bucket list.”

Bill “Spaceman” Lee came from a more distant place — somewhere north of normal — to the ball park where he made his name as a pitcher in the late ‘60s and ‘70s with a penchant for speaking his counter-culture mind.

“I’ve been around this park when it was just a vacant lot and it was under water,” he said, as if creating a fantasy on the spot. “I used to hunt ducks here when I was in India and I had a canoe that used to come in here and park all the time and I dreamed that there would be a ballpark here.”

The oldest major-league park, indeed, has seen it all.

On Thursday, thousands of fans wandered throughout the stands and on the warning track at an open house, the day before the Red Sox play the New York Yankees on the 100th anniversary of Boston’s first game at Fenway. Gutierrez was there to collect autographs from past players. Lee was there to sign them.

Fenway, its weird dimensions crammed tightly into a vibrant neighborhood, has been home to all sorts of history — fanatics, flakes, fires and flameouts — since the Red Sox beat the New York Highlanders in the opener.

Last year’s September collapse came after two World Series championships, the Red Sox first since 1918, in seven years.

This year, the Yankees, the successor to the Highlanders, and Red Sox are off to slow starts, the Yanfrom preceding page

service at New York University. “He is administrator in chief whether he likes it or not.”

Some Republicans were folding the Secret Service and GSA episodes together with Solyndra, a solar firm that received a half-billion dollar federal loan and was touted by the Obama administration before declaring bankruptcy last year.

“Presidents are to be held responsible,” Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said Thursday. “They also need to be responsible for insisting that from the top to the lowest employee that not one single dollar will be wasted in this government,” he added. “I don’t sense that this president has shown that kind of managerial leadership.”

What’s more, each the recent events also works in its own corrosive way.

The GSA’s $823,000 Las Vegas conference, complete with gourmet food, clown and mind reader, have given Republicans ammunition to attack government bloat.

And for that, there is a ready audience.

kees at 6-6 before facing Minnesota on Thursday night and the Red Sox at 4-8.

“I’ll always remember the first time I hit a home run over the Green Monster,” Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said. “It was my second year in the big leagues and I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s pretty cool.’”

The Red Sox invited all uniformed personnel who they were able to track down to Friday’s pregame ceremonies.

Former manager Terry Francona plans to be there after declining the invitation because of lingering bitterness over the way he was let go following last season and the aftermath. Pitcher Curt Schilling, the “bloody-sock” hero of the 2004 championship, said it will be “impossible” for him to participate because of business at his video-game company.

“Please understand that should in no way indicate my love and passion for Red Sox Nation,” the outspoken Schilling, who already has criticized new manager Bobby Valentine, said in a statement.

The Red Sox beat the Highlanders in the Fenway opener 7-6 on an 11th-inning RBI single by Tris Speaker.

Boston went on to win the World Series that year.

In January 1934, a five-alarm fire damaged seating areas along the left-field line and the center-field bleachers during a construction project to refurbish the park. The work was finished in time for the season, with the addition of the 37-foot high left field wall, the Green Monster.

But in the ‘90s, there were numerous calls for the wrecking ball. Advocates of a new stadium, including then owner John Harrington, contended that Fenway was too old and decrepit to be saved. up,” said Linda Heck, a Ford Motor Co. retiree protesting in Elyria, Ohio, Wednesday not far from where Obama was speaking to a community college crowd.

“I’m sitting in focus groups right this minute where it just came up,” said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman. “It’s an example — talking about the GSA — of what’s wrong with government. It gives them some ammunition and something to talk about.”

Romney this week called the GSA “embarrassing” to the Obama administration and made a point of stressing that leadership is set at the top.

Still, his criticism seemed aimed more at painting a bloated government than as a direct shot at Obama.

“It damages this president indirectly because he is being portrayed as the president of big government,” Light said.

As governor of Massachusetts from 2003 through 2006, Romney encountered his own troubles, including fights with the head of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority over management and construction problems with Boston’s “Big Dig” highway project.

Holtby makes 44 saves & Caps even series with Bruins WASHINGTON (AP) — Playoff rookie Braden Holtby followed up a shaky outing with a superb one by making 44 saves Thursday night, and Alexander Semin scored the go-ahead goal, leading the Washington Capitals to a 2-1 victory over the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins that tied the first-round series at two games apiece.

Marcus Johansson put the puck past Tim Thomas less than 1 1/2 minutes after the opening faceoff, but Boston’s Rich Peverley tied it later in the first period.

Semin put Washington ahead for good with 1:17 left in the second on a power-play goal, his second score of the series.

The best-of-seven Eastern Conference series shifts back to Boston for Game 5 on Saturday. Game 6 will be in Washington on Sunday.

Washington was 25-0-1 during the regular season when leading after two periods, and Holtby continued that trend, inspiring repeated chants of “Holtbee! Holt-bee!” from the red-wearing spectators.

After things got rowdy in Game 3, the Capitals did it with discipline Thursday: The hosts were called for only one penalty.

It’s been a tight series all the way, with neither team leading by more than one goal at any moment.

Semin decided things Thursday by zipping a wrister from the left circle past Thomas, after Alex Ovechkin and Keith Aucoin set it up with assists.

That came on Washington’s third power play of the game. The Bruins had zero extra-skater chances through the first two periods, as the Capitals played precisely the type of quiet hockey that their coach, Dale Hunter, said he really wanted to see.

Washington wasn’t called for a penalty until there were just under 10 minutes left in the third period, when forward Mike Knuble — playing because Nicklas Backstrom was suspended — was sent off for holding. But the Capitals killed that off without allowing any shots, making the Bruins’ power play 0 for 12 this series.

Backstrom is Washington’s top playmaker, the player who scored the winning goal in Game 2 — and his absence showed at times. There was generally less creativity at the offensive end, and the Capitals couldn’t even muster a single shot on their first power play, which he usually runs.

Backstrom was lost for one game after a crosscheck to Peverley’s face at the end of Game 3 on Monday drew a match penalty.

There was all sorts of verbal jousting during the series’ off days, Tuesday and Wednesday. Hunter — himself no stranger to mixing things up during his playing days — accused Boston of targeting the head of Backstrom, who missed 40 games during the regular season because of a concussion. Hunter said he thought Backstrom was only trying to protect himself against Peverley after taking repeated shots to the head from Boston.

Bruins coach Claude Julien responded that such claims were “ludicrous” and “ridiculous.”

What had been a plenty-of-defense, little-offense, relatively quiet series early — a total of four goals were scored in Games 1 and 2 — turned downright feisty and more wide-open in Boston’s 4-3 victory in Game 3.

So Game 4 reverted to the first style, thanks in large part to Holtby.

The Canadian is only 22 — 16 years younger than Thomas, who earned last season’s Conn Smythe and Vezina trophies — and has made a grand total of 18 regular-season starts in his career. But Holtby is playing in his first NHL postseason because of injuries to Washington’s top two goalies, Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth.

And the kid has looked like a grizzled veteran for all but Game 3. He stopped 72 of 74 shots in Games 1 and 2, then was terrific again in Game 4. Over the span of about a minute early in the second period, Holtby made three reflex saves to thwart Bruins chances.

TATTOO from page one formers and live music, promises “to anchor the nation’s longest running motorcycle rally where it began and where it belongs — in Laconia.”

The participating tattoo artists, together with some piercing professionals, will be not only be displaying but also performing their work by appointment. Performers will include Laura Lynn, the pin-up model with a unique vintage stage show, and The Enigma and Serena Rose — “showdevils” — who guarantee no special effects taint their “freaky stunts.”

The East Coast Tattour, staged by JOA Event Designs, LLC , will be in Lakeport beginning Wednesday, June 13, when the gate will be open between 6 p.m. and midnight, until Saturday, June 16. On Thursday and Friday the gates will be open

between 11 a.m. and midnight and on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Admission is $15 for one day or $30 for three days.

Dupont said that the Eric Grant Band will play on opening night followed by Jam Sandwich on Thursday with bands to be announced on Friday and Saturday.

Dupont said that she has asked the Hobo Railroad, which runs trains between Lakeport and The Weirs on Friday and Saturday during the rally to add a train on Thursday. Likewise, she expects that the East Coast Tattour will boost demand for the vendor spaces at Lakeport Fire Station, which the city failed to lease last year. “We believe this event will draw visitors into the city offer more opportunities for more businesses to benefit from Motorcycle Week,” Dupont said.

NH Jazz presents pianist Chris Bakriges on Monday LACONIA — NH Jazz will present pianist Chris Bakriges with vibraphonist Mark van Gulden on April 23 at 8 p.m. at Pitman’s Freight Room, located at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia.

Bakriges has forged a unique path which embodies the essence of jazz exploration, global influences and pure improvisation. He has collaborated with Bobby McFerrin, Kenny Burrell and the late blues singer Sandra Wright, and has been admired as an “adventurous pianist” by jazz legend Anthony Braxton.

Vibraphonist Mark van Gulden is a free-lance musician who is known for his work with singer Jenni Johnson, while holding the music director chair at ArtisTree, a community arts center and gallery located in Woodstock, Vermont.

The pairing of jazz piano and vibraphone, although around since the 1930s, is still considered a unique sound. Art Tatum/ Lionel Hampton, John Lewis/ Milt Jackson, and Chick Corea/ Gary Burton are the most well-known collaborations.

Bakriges and van Gulden have developed an exciting, lyrical and highly interactive style of their own.

Their repertoire ranges from jazz standards to original contemporary music. They will be joined onstage by special guest, vocalist Janine Hamilton.

White Mountain National Forest Artist‑In‑Residence program extends deadline PLYMOUTH — The White Mountain National Forest and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire is extending the deadline for applications for the 2012 White Mountain National Forest Artist-in-Residence program. Interested artists in all media are invited to apply for the residency, a celebration of the connections between forest, landscape, and culture. The extended deadline for applications is May 18. The selected artist will be notified

by June 15.

The WMNF Artist-in-Residence program offers professional and emerging artists from around the country (visual and performing artists, craftspeople,

writers, composers, eco artists and media artists) an opportunity to pursue their particular art form while being inspired by the surrounding forest and, on several occasions, sharing their work and their artistic process with members of the public. The goal of the residency program is to use art and creative expression to explore the many ways in which people relate to forests in general, and to the White Mountain National Forest in particular.

During the second year of the Artist-In-Residence program, one artist residency of at least three weeks will be offered between July and September. The focus of the program is to provide an opportunity

for the selected artist to spend an extended time in the Forest, creating work and sharing it during a weekly public session, when visitors can learn more about (or possibly participate in) the artistic process, and be encouraged to think about the connection between art, the forest, and conservation.

Public programs may include demonstrations, talks, exploratory walks or hikes, or performances, based on the medium, interest, and experience of the artist.

The artist will be provided lodging in rustic accommodations on the Forest as well as limited reimbursement of travel expenses and the cost of supplies and materials.

Find more information and an application for the program at www.aannh.org, or contact the Arts Alliance at Frumie@aannh.org, 603-323-7302.

Plymouth State University hosts eating disorders conference April 27-28

PLYMOUTH – New studies show that almost onethird of children in the U.S. are obese. Nearly 25 million women and men are struggling with potentially life-threatening but treatable eating disorders like bulimia, anorexia and binge eating. Eating disorders are increasingly common and are on the rise in New Hampshire.

The Fifth Annual Eating Disorders Conference, hosted by PSU’s Eating Disorders Institute, is providing health, mental health and school professionals the latest information on disordered eating and weight disorders, tools, strategies and the organiza-

tion and training of eating disorder treatment teams across New Hampshire.

The conference will be held, Friday and Saturday, April 27 and 28 at the Church Landing at Mill Falls, Meredith. Institute founder, Dr. Mardie BurckesMiller, said the first day of the conference will concentrate on training teams who can treat a growing but often misunderstood illness which may include serious medical complications and training professionals to be facilitators for an evidence-based body image program to be used in school and the community.

“Our new initiative is putting collaborative teams together in ten to fifteen regions across the state that have the knowledge and skills to treat people with eating disorders with a collaborative team approach,” Burckes-Miller said. “Each team will consist of a medical provider, such as a physician or physician assistant, a dietitian, a therapist and a school nurse or counselor, if the patient is a child or adolescent. The program is modeled after a similar, successful effort in Maine, but it has to start with knowledge and team skills, which we’re offering at this conference.”

The conference topic, The Untangling the Web of Disordered Eating and Weight Disorders: Integrating Knowledge, Tools, Strategies will be discussed by guest speakers such as Dr. B. Timothy Walsh, a graduate of Princeton University and of Harvard Medical School, founder of the Eating Disorders Research Unit at New York State Psychiatric Institute and Ralph Carson, PhD, RD, LD a board member of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. The conference is tailored for mental health, public health, and health professionals and educators; eating disorder survivors; and anyone who is interested in eating disorder prevention, treatment, or education and outreach programs for individuals, schools, and communities. Continuing Education Units will be available for a variety of professionals, and participants may also register for undergraduate or graduate credit.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis You have great empathy for another person’s plight. Your high level of emotional intelligence allows you to somehow understand even though you don’t have personal experience with the matter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Thinking that you are supposed to know something will keep you from asking the questions that will lead you to really know it. If you dare to speak up, you’ll find that you’re not the only one in the room who’s in the dark.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll be attuned to the sighs of the world. Sometimes sighing is an expression of letting go, and other times sighing says, “Look at me. I’m in psychic pain or longing or some other state of needing what I don’t have.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People think they know you, but they really shouldn’t assume. You’re far too deep and complicated to be summed up with stereotypes or understood by type. Assert your originality, and show them all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” Spoken like a true Pisces, these words by Albert Einstein may help you with your spiritual accounting today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 20).

This year you’ll put yourself out there in a bigger way. Somebody is looking for the qualities you embody, and you’ll be sought after in the weeks to come.

There’s a promotion in May. In June, you express yourself beautifully, and life conforms to your specifications. You’ll replace a vice with something positive in August. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 26, 8 and 45.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some people consider the colloquial “whatever” to be a curse word. It’s certainly an expression to avoid today, especially in regard to relationships that are already in a precarious place.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll have many blessings to count, and even better than that is the fact that these seem to be the blessings you most need. You’ll use your resources to serve and support the people you hold dear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Clinging to old emotional patterns is not your style. You’ll hold your inner life up to examination. You’ll determine the patterns that need to be broken and put an end to them. Scorpio helps.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re up on the latest news, and you’re ready to participate and do what’s expected of you. That’s not to say that any of it makes you happy, as you are plugged into an artistic, objective and non-conformist vibration now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s something you really want to do, but your progress is excruciatingly slow.

This is all the more reason why you should celebrate every move you make toward your goal as a small victory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your latest interest is in something your friends and colleagues find unfamiliar.

Go forward anyway; you’ll be a trailblazer. Your sophisticated taste will catapult everyone into the future eventually.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are times when the ethereal world seems more real than the so-called real world, and indeed it may be so, especially when the moon is in dreamy Pisces.

After all, most things that exist started out as mere imaginings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, April 20, the 111th day of 2012. There are 255 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 20, 1912, Boston’s Fenway Park hosted its first professional baseball game while Navin Field (Tiger Stadium) opened in Detroit.

(The Red Sox defeated the New York Highlanders 7-6 in 11 innings; the Tigers beat the Cleveland Naps 6-5 in 11 innings.)

On this date: In 1812, the fourth vice president of the United States, George Clinton, died in Washington at age 72, becoming the first vice president to die while in office.

In 1836, Congress voted to establish the Wisconsin Territory.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 20, 2012— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Bob and I are both divorced from our previous spouses. His ex-wife was unfaithful, and so was my exhusband. We fell in love even though we live miles apart. I recently visited him for the second time to talk about our future plans. He wanted me to meet his friends, and I happily agreed.

“Tina” is a longtime family friend. Bob is godfather to two of her children. She claims to be best friends with Bob’s exwife. But during dinner, Tina made inappropriate advances toward Bob. He finally confessed that they had a one-night stand when he discovered his wife was cheating. They swore never to speak of their tryst. This happened long before he met me, and Bob says he feels terrible about it. But Tina made sure I knew they had a sexual history. It took every bit of reserve to maintain my composure that evening.

While I have zero respect for a woman who sleeps with her best friend’s man, I am also unhappy with Bob. He has done everything within his power since then to prove that he loves me and wants a future with me, including marriage, but I cannot get past the fact that he and Tina crossed a boundary and still expect to remain friendly. What kind of man would try to merge his past with his present? -- Feeling Confused Dear Confused: Bob has been honest with you, but as godfather to Tina’s children, she will always be in the picture. Do you trust him not to put himself in a compromising position?

That is the sole issue. You cannot change the past. You can only accept it and move forward. You and Bob might benefit from premarital counseling. He sounds worth it.

Dear Annie: My daughter is planning a wedding to a great guy, and I am thrilled for her. The problem is, he comes from a very wealthy family. I live in a mobile home. If I’m lucky, I

could scratch together $3,000 to put toward their wedding, but that’s it.

I don’t want to use the little money I’ve saved toward my retirement. I’ve already spent a fortune on my dress, the gifts and all the little extras. So my question is, how do I offer $3,000 and say that is all I have to give toward the actual wedding? Do I need to apologize? Should I take out a loan or borrow from my retirement to save face? This whole thing is keeping me up at night. -- The Bride’s Mother Dear Mother: Parents should never put themselves in hock in order to pay for a child’s wedding. An adult bride and groom should pay for their own nuptials whenever possible, even if that means cake and punch in the backyard. Tell your daughter you love her very much, and you will be happy to give her $3,000 toward the cost of her wedding. Period. You don’t need to apologize or take out a loan. If she wants something more elaborate, it’s her problem, not yours.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Not Romeo and Juliet,” who said that many years ago, there was some unspecified rift between her family and her boyfriend’s family. Now that she and the boyfriend have reconnected and wish to marry, the families are angry and vehemently against it.

The first thing they should do is have their DNA checked.

I’d bet there was an affair between two of those parents and the kids are related. - First-Time Writer from Iowa Dear Iowa: You could be right, although the rift extends to every member of both families. While an affair seems a likely basis for the animosity, we would hope the parents would inform the couple if they shared DNA. Instead, they are vague, saying only that they won’t attend the wedding. We think the couple deserves to know why.

Di Martin-Greenwood, Student Program Coordinator for Laconia Savings Bank, is teaching Holy Trinity’s Pre-Kindergarten class about the different types of coins, their worth and the importance of saving. (Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — Laconia Savings Bank is offering area students a unique financial education experience through the Teach Children to Save program. These out-of-the-box lessons make learning about money fun for students and allow bankers to bring reality and learning together to help students understand the basic principles of using money wisely.

Laconia Savings Bank strongly believes that an early understanding of personal finance can help children develop positive money habits that will carry with them through adulthood.

Teach Children to Save is a national campaign of volunteer bankers who

help young people to develop lifelong saving habits. The campaign includes an annual awareness day in April, Teach Children to Save Day; a video contest for teens, Lights, Camera, Save!; and the Teach Children to Save website; www.teachchildrentosave. com.

Laconia Savings Bank, founded in 1831, provides deposit, lending and wealth management services to families and businesses throughout New Hampshire. With 21 community offices within the state and assets exceeding $1 billion, Laconia Savings Bank is the largest independent bank in New Hampshire.

from preceding page In preparation for the contest, a workshop will be held on Monday, April 30, 4 p.m.- 6 p.m. at Kitchen Cravings. This workshop will introduce participants to the largest tree contest and teach them to: identify common New Hampshire tree species; properly measure a tree’s circumfer-

ence; accurately record a tree’s location; and fill out a largest tree contest record form.

Registration is required. For more information, to register, or for special needs requests call the Belknap County UNH Cooperative Extension office at 527-5475.
