LACONIA — One 8th grade girl was killed and another severely injured when they were struck by an SUV near the intersection of Messer Street and Opechee Street as they began to cross the Messer Street Bridge at around 2:30 p.m. yesterday. Captain Matt Canfield of the Police Department confirmed that Lilyanna Johnson, 14, died at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon from her injuries in the early evening while Alyssa Miner, also 14, was listed in stable condition. Both girls were taken from the scene of the accident by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital, then immediately flown by helicopter to Lebanon. Within an hour of Lily’s passing, a Facebook page was created, expressing condolences for Lilyanna and hope for Aslyssa, which quickly drew numerous posts and more than 2,000 likes. see LILy page 13

BOSTON (AP) — The Red Sox and Bruins postponed their games Friday as authorities searched for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, virtually shutting the city down. The teams announced about four hours before their night games were scheduled to start that they were scratched. Police identified two suspects in Monday’s explosions that killed three people and wounded more than 180. One man was killed during a shootout with police and the other was captured Friday night. Authorities in Boston suspended all mass transit, used by many fans to get to games, and told people in throughout Boston and some of its suburbs to stay inside for much of Friday as the hunt for Suspect No. 2 went on. Trains were finally allowed to run again after 6 p.m. No makeup date see GAMES page 8
WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) — Lifting days of anxiety for a city and a nation on edge, police captured the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect, found bloodied in a backyard boat Friday night less than 24 hours after a wild car chase and gun battle that left his older brother dead and Boston and its suburbs sealed in an extraordinary dragnet. We got him,” Boston Mayor Tom Menino tweeted. A cheer erupted from a crowd gathered near the scene. “CAPTURED!!!” police added later. “The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody.” During a long night of violence Thursday and into Friday, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev killed an MIT police
officer, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a desperate getaway attempt, authorities said. Late Friday, less than an hour after authorities said the search for Dzhokhar had proved fruitless, they tracked down the 19-year-old college student holed up in the boat, weakened by a gunshot wound after fleeing on foot from the overnight shootout with police that left 200 spent rounds behind. He was hospitalized in serious condition, unable to be questioned about his motives. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in the shootout early in the day. At one point, he was run over by his younger brother in a car as he lay wounded, according to investigators. The violent endgame unfolded four days after the bombing and just a day after the
FBI released surveillance-camera images of two young men suspected of planting the pressure-cooker explosives that ripped through the crowd at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 180. The two men were identified by authorities and relatives as ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Mass. But investigators gave no details on the motive for the attack. President Barack Obama said the nation owes a debt of gratitude to law enforcement officials and the people of Boston for their help in the search. But he said there are many unanswered questions about the Boston bombings, including whether the see next page
NEW YORK (AP) — Searching for compromise on a divisive issue, the Boy Scouts of America is proposing to partially lift its long-standing exclusion of gays — allowing them as youth members but continuing to bar them as adult leaders. The proposal, unveiled Friday after weeks of private leadership deliberations, will be submitted to the roughly 1,400 voting members of the BSA’s National Council during the week of May 20 at a meeting in Texas. The key part of the resolution says no youth may be denied membership in the
Scouts “on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.” A ban would continue on leadership roles for adults who are openly gay or lesbian. Gay-rights groups, which had demanded a complete lifting of the ban, criticized the proposal as inadequate. “Until every parent and young person have the same opportunity to serve, the Boy Scouts will continue to see a decline in both membership and donations,” said Rich Ferraro, a spokesman for the gayrights watchdog group GLAAD. Chad Griffin, president of the Human
Rights Campaign, said the BSA was too timid. “What message does this resolution send to the gay Eagle Scout who, as an adult, wants to continue a lifetime of Scouting by becoming a troop leader?” he asked. Some conservative groups assailed the proposal from the opposite direction, saying the ban should be kept in its entirety. “The policy is incoherent,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. “The proposal says, in essence, that homosexuality is morally acceptable see SCOUTS page 10

from preceding page two men had help from others. He urged people not to rush judgment about their motivations. The breakthrough came when a man in a Watertown neighborhood saw blood on a boat parked in a yard and pulled back the tarp to see a man covered in blood, authorities said. The resident called 911 and when police arrived, they tried to talk the suspect into getting out of the boat, said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. “He was not communicative,” Davis said. Instead, he said, there was an exchange of gunfire — the final volley of one of the biggest manhunts in American history. Watertown residents who had been told in the morning to stay inside behind locked doors poured out of their homes and lined the streets to cheer police vehicles as they rolled away from the scene. Celebratory bells rang from a church tower. Teenagers waved American flags. Drivers honked. Every time an emergency vehicle went by, people cheered loudly. “They finally caught the jerk,” said nurse Cindy Boyle. “It was scary. It was tense.” Police said three other people were taken into custody for questioning at an off-campus housing complex at the University of the Massachusetts at Dartmouth where the younger man may have lived. “Tonight, our family applauds the entire law enforcement community for a job well done, and trust that our justice system will now do its job,” said the family of 8-year-old Martin Richard, who died in the bombing. The FBI was swamped with tips — 300,000 per minute — after the release of the surveillance-camera photos, but what role those played in the overnight clash was unclear. State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said police realized they were dealing with the bombing suspects based on what the two men told a carjacking victim during their night of crime. The search by thousands of law enforcement officers all but paralyzed the Boston area for much of the day. Officials shut down all mass transit, including Amtrak trains to New York, advised businesses not to open, and warned close to 1 million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to unlock their doors only for uniformed police. Around midday, the suspects’ uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., pleaded on television: “Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness.” Until the younger man’s capture, it was looking like a grim day for police. As night fell, they announced that they were scaling back the hunt and lifting the stay-indoors order across Boston and some of its suburbs because they had come up empty-handed. But then the break came and within a couple of hours, the four-day ordeal was over. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured about a mile from the site of the shootout that killed his brother. Chechnya has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994, in which tens of thousands were killed in heavy Russian bombing. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West. The older brother had strong political views about the United States, said Albrecht Ammon, 18, a downstairs-apartment neighbor in Cambridge. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as “an excuse for invading other countries.” Also, the FBI interviewed the older brother at the request of a foreign government in 2011, and nothing derogatory was found, according to a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official did not identify the foreign country or say why it made the request. Authorities said the man dubbed Suspect No. 1 — the one in sunglasses and a dark baseball cap in the surveillance-camera pictures — was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, while Suspect No. 2, the one in a white baseball cap worn backward, was his younger brother. Exactly how the long night of crime began was unclear. But police said the brothers carjacked a man in a Mercedes-Benz in Cambridge, just across the Charles River from Boston, then released him unharmed at a gas station. They also shot to death a Massachusetts Institute
of Technology police officer, 26-year-old Sean Collier, while he was responding to a report of a disturbance, investigators said. The search for the Mercedes led to a chase that ended in Watertown, where authorities said the suspects threw explosive devices from the car and exchanged gunfire with police. A transit police officer, 33-year-old Richard Donohue, was shot and critically wounded, authorities said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev somehow slipped away. He ran over his already wounded brother as he fled,
according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. At some point, he abandoned his car and ran away. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died at a Boston hospital after suffering what doctors said were multiple gunshot wounds and a possible blast injury. The brothers had built an arsenal of pipe bombs, grenades and improvised explosive devices and used some of the weapons in trying to make their getaway, said Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md.
China earthquake said to have killed 32 & injured 600
BEIJING (AP) — A Communist Party official says that earthquake that hit China’s Sichuan provinces left at least 32 people dead and injured more than 600. Xu Mengjia, party secretary of Ya’an city, which administers the area where the quake hit, told China Central Television on Saturday that the casualty count could climb higher.
The quake, which struck shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday, was measured at magnitude-7 by China’s seismological bureau and at 6.6 by the U.S. Geological Survey. It struck near the area where a devastating quake left 90,000 dead or missing and presumed dead five years ago.

BRISTOL — Pemi-Valley Habitat for Humanity gave itself an ambitious task with the Hedstrom Way project. Long averaging the construction of one house per year, the nonprofit organization’s new project is planned to see a cluster of four new homes built within two years. With such a task ahead of his organization, executive director Brian McCarthy said the three days of labor provided this week by a group of 15 students and chaperons from Bedford High School was a welcome jump-start for the second of four homes to be constructed.
“We got off to a flying start with this one,” said McCarthy. When students arrived to the job site on Wednesday, all that existed of the second building was a concrete foundation. By the time they wrapped up their final day of work yesterday, the 1,100-square-foot home had its exterior walls in place, roof trusses installed and sheets of plywood nailed in place to close the structure to the elements. The Hedstrom Way project, named after dedicated Habitat volunteer Reverand Doug Hedstrom, is funded in part by a $266,000 Community Development Block Grant. Pemi-Valley is thought to be the see next page

from preceding page first Habitat for Humanity affiliate in the state to receive such a grant. The funds were used to purchase the 4-acre lot, located on Route 3A just outside of Bristol’s village, and to complete the work necessary to make the site ready for four homes. All of the three bedroom, one bathroom homes will be built using volunteer labor. The first of the homes was completed recently and will be occupied by the Gibbs family. The last two will be the homes of the Sprague and Minkewicz families. The building currently under construction is destined to become home sweet home for Patti and Jim Reynolds, their 10-year-old daughter Aislen, 3-year-old son Hayden, and daughter Paige, who was born eight months ago. Patti, who was part of the work crew this week, said she hopes to be able to celebrate her husband’s birthday in their new home. Jim turns 40 on October 2. The Reynolds family currently lives in an apartment in Bristol village, where lead paint concerns prevent their children from being able to play outside. McCarthy said the crew from Bedford has done everything in their power to help provide the Reynolds family with what would be an ultimate birthday present for Jim. “It’s been a tremendous group of young men and women,” said McCarthy. “I can’t tell you how pleased we are with the dedication, the commitment these kids have shown.” “They’re awesome,” added Patti Reynolds.

offering their labor as part of “Intersession,” the three days preceding April vacation week in which students choose a non-traditional learning experience. Over the years that Bedford High School has observed Instersession, and including this year, students have assisted with building a dozen different homes. The students have been staying at the nearby Slim Baker Lodge during their visit. The Bedford students said that the Habitat projects, of all their Intersession opportunities, prove to be the most popular at sign-up time. On their third day in Bristol, they could see why. “It’s been a great learning experience,” said Molly Burns. “This is an awesome part the build to be a part of,” said Elizabeth Eby. When they arrived, there was nothing but a bare foundation, she said. “Three days later, it’s a house.” Gabby Scudder appreciated the opportunity to lend a helping hand. “We’re fortunate to have what we have,” she said. Helping to provide a nice home for another family, she said, “makes you feel good.” Courtney Moe often comes to the Plymouth region to go hiking. She said, “It’s nice being able to help someone that’s close to us.” All of the other Bedford Intersession Habitat projects have been out of state. Lauren Prince said the trip has proven to be educational. “You’re learning something you’ve never done before. It’s really cool to learn something new and help someone out at the same time.” “We just built a house. That’s pretty sick,” concluded Nathan Holt. see HABITAT page 8

Trumped-up war between generations During the big health care fight, the right told older Americans that Obamacare was grabbing money from their Medicare and giving it to young people. Now it tells young workers that Medicare and Social Security are draining their takehome pay to support retirees sitting around the pool. The story, it would seem, moves from the young taking from the old to the old taking from the young. The one constant here is the motive: to weaken public support for government programs offering Americans a modicum of economic and health care security. We can all agree that entitlement spending must be contained. The “how” of it is a big question. But the answer cannot be intergenerational warfare. And it need not be. The storyline of the young being stripped by their elders has gotten a good deal of traction. Witness this headline on Charlie Cook’s National Journal column: “Democrats Risk Alienating Young Voters by Opposing Cuts in Entitlement Spending.” Cook was referring to many liberals’ complaints about President Obama’s proposed budget, which would cut entitlement spending by about $800 billion over 10 years. Among other things, the plan would ask Medicare beneficiaries, particularly the well-to-do, to pay more. Most controversially, it would change Social Security’s inflation formula in a way that would lead to smaller cost-of-living raises. Obama’s budget would begin to correct the imbalance reflected in the Urban Institute computation that Washington spends seven times as much per older American as it does per child. It would increase spending on education, on infrastructure, on research, on jobs — programs aimed at boosting an economy that has not been kind to younger workers. This may be so, and that’s no bad thing. The trouble with this conversation is that it avoids the real reason we’re having it. Yes, Medicare costs need restraining. And altering the inflation measure in Social Security — a program
that’s holy ground for many liberals — could be an acceptable, if painful, concession in budget talks. But the origin of this phony war between the generations isn’t so much how the budget pie is being cut by age group. It is the size of the pie. Years of reckless tax-cutting has eaten away the revenues available to meet many national demands. This was the big rationale for cutting taxes. If you want to shrink government, conservatives kept saying, you have to cut off its allowance. So all this carping in the richest country on earth that there’s no money to fix the bridges — and that if it weren’t for all those oldsters’ entitlements, we’d have it — is absurd. So is the spiel that we can’t guarantee health coverage to younger Americans without harming the elders’ medical benefits. The right talks about Obamacare as though achieving universal coverage were some kind of moonshot. Almost every other industrialized country has been doing it for decades. Obama’s budget offers a clever means of giving conservatives some of what they want, but it also names a price for them: $700 billion in new tax revenues. The proposal’s main idea, limiting itemized deductions for the richest households, is well-chosen. Rather than engage in hand-tohand combat over ending this tax break or that one, lawmakers could simply put a cap on the total taken. That doesn’t mean all loopholes make equal sense. (Some, such as the deduction for mortgage interest, should be phased out.) But smart tax reform is going to take time that we don’t now have. One last point. The aging baby boom generation will be large and expensive, but its members will eventually pass on, and the ratio of workers to retirees will stabilize. In sum, no generation need be the enemy of another. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
Those same 4 Democrats voted to downshift $241K to county To the editor, In the Thursday edition of The Daily Sun, Kate Miller praises the contributions of area Democratic representatives to our political process. She stops short, though, of crediting them for voting lockstep to increase government spending at a rate greater than four times the projected growth rate of our economy and also neglected to mention their unanimous vote to downshift costs from the state to the
county for elderly care. This downshift will cost the county $241,348 for fiscal year 2014 and that plus an additional $272,834 in fiscal year 2015. Let us give credit where creit is due, Ms. Miller. After all, in the immortal words of your area Democrats, it only translates to a few dollars. Rep. Dick Burchell Belknap 5 Gilmanton

LETTERS Then why won’t he send his own children to public schools? To the editor, I would like to respectfully ask Sen. Hosmer where he sends his children to school. If not the public school system why? Next I would like to ask, what constituency he is representing? It is in the state’s interest to produce upstanding young people and solid citizens? If he is choosing private schooling to accomplish this for his children, I think that that is confirmation that he understands that that is the best option for accomplishing this, for we best take care of things that are our own. In his supporting HB-370 a bill that would repeal the education tax credit program, he cites what he says is a constitutional problem with the education tax credit program. This seems to be but a foil to me, with the intent to confuse the reader as to what is the real issue. As I understand it, money in this program is donated by local corporations to the family of the student so they can send there child to the school of their choice. The corporation then gets a tax credit. Even if the family chooses a “religious” school; its a stretch to call this state-
funded religious education. More aptly put, the public school system is losing some money because they are not getting the job done. But if Sen. Hosmer can get you to think that there is a constitution conflict, he is off the hook for the obvious hypocrisy between his personal choices and his vote against the public good. For unless you can afford to send your children to a private school or perhaps home school, he wants you to have but one option, a school system to which he will not send his own children. If he believes in the public school system then why won’t he send his children there? Neither is more money for the public school system the answer to our states educational woes. Let them compete. The better schools will get the the more students. When the problem is the educational system’s philosophy and they can’t compete, the answer is simple; eliminate or minimize the competition. Again respectfully, whose interest is Sen. Hosmer serving? John Demakowski Franklin
Type ‘racist roots of gun control laws’ into your search engine To the editor, Looks like someone has his facts bassackwards. Mr. Maloof, in his letter in the Apil 17th Daily Sun, says that the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights is racist. This is such a blatantly false statement one must question what qualifies as racism to this individual. Gun control IS racist, and, in fact, racist arms laws predate the United States of America on this continent! In 1751 in Louisiana, colonists were required, by the French Black Code, to stop and beat any black carrying a POTENTIAL weapon, and if the black with a potential weapon was on horseback, they were to be shot and killed. Mr. Clayton E Cramer has an excellent research paper on the subject of racist arms laws that can be found at the JPFO website http://jpfo.org/articles-assd02/ cramer-racist-roots.htm. It is well presented and well documented. JPFO also has two historical video research pieces on the racist basis of gun control laws, they are short and to the point, at their site, one is No Guns for Negros, and the other is No Guns for Jews: http://shop. jpfo.org/cart.php?m=product_list&c=8
Party and the Ku Klux Klan were, and in the case of the Democratic Party still are, the primary proponents of gun control laws. Take some time to review the short article at http://www. press-citizen.com/article/20130413/ OPINION05/304130019/Racist-rootsgun-control-efforts. This has some examples of racist gun control activities as late as the 1950s in the USA. A little research goes a long ways to debunk such flagrantly false statements as “the Second Amendment is racist”. Type “racist roots of gun control laws” into your favorite search engine and you come up with more than 10 pages of articles — including research work — that has been done on this topic. I even took my list and filtered it down to pieces that are no more than a month old, and STILL had more than 10 pages of listings. These range from thoroughly researched pieces like Mr. Cfamer’s paper, to commentary made on blogs. So, to come out with such a flagrantly false statement as Mr. Maloof did, one needs to ask what, exactly, he considers racism to be? A. C. R. Piper
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 20, 2013 — Page 7
LETTERS All the scholarship money comes from voluntary contributions
Why aren’t his kids ‘damaging’ public schools by their absence?
To the editor, I am writing in response to Sen. Andrew Hosmer’s April 18 letter to the editor in The Laconia Daily Sun entitled “Education Tax Credit Program clearly violates N.H. Constitution”, wherein he indicates his reasons for supporting the repeal of the education tax credit bill passed by the 2011 legislature. This legislation was passed to provide opportunity to lower income and underprivileged children and to level the playing field allowing all of New Hampshire’s children equal access to the same schools and education that the more fortunate families are taking advantage of every day! This program has been well received by both businesses and the public as one more way to help empower our families and strengthen the middle class in New Hampshire. The body of this law can be found at RSA 77‐A:5, XV, RSA 77‐E:3‐d, and RSA 77‐G, and here is how it works: New Hampshire businesses may voluntarily divert a portion of their state business tax liability into a scholarship fund. When they do so, they receive only 85 percent of that contribution toward their business tax liability. This gives New Hampshire businesses the ability to invest in the creation of a highly skilled and well‐ educated workforce; which is the key to maintaining the New Hampshire advantage in the future. Sen. Hosmer cites several reasons for wanting to dismantle this system, all of which are misguided, misinformed, and unfortunately could be misleading. First, he states that he has “grave concerns about the constitutionality of the education tax credit program.” Does this mean that it is unconstitutional for the state to pay chaplains who minister to our military personnel in the New Hampshire National Guard? Of course it is not! There are currently commissioned officers serving in the National Guard whose sole purpose is the religious and spiritual well‐being of our troops. The education tax credit program is simply a government partnership program which allows scholarship recipients to spend their scholarship in the most effective manner. Similar programs are, and have been in place for many years at the state and federal levels. As but one example, the U.S. Department of Labor, using Trade Act funds (funded by taxes on American businesses) pro-
To the editor, I think Senator Hosmer set a new record for hypocrisy in one letter on Thursday. For the layperson, the state of N.H. pays school districts a stipend for each student in attendance. The student leaves, the payment stops. Simple. The senator says he worries about the damage to the public schools financially when a possible 1,400 kids from low to moderate income families leave their assigned public school with a School Choice scholarship but he has a problem.... you see, N.H. has 10,000 wealthy kids (mom and dad pay the tuition) currently attending private schools. No stipend gets paid for any of those kids. Four of these wealthy kids have the same last name as his. So, Senator, why aren’t your kids causing the same “damage” to the
vides tuition and expenses for qualified individuals to attend the school of their choice — including private and religious schools — to receive qualified education and training. Another example would be the G.I. bill for military veterans (there are more than a few students at St. Anselms and St. Josephs on government scholarships). Both of these programs have been around for decades and neither have been deemed unconstitutional. Shouldn’t we leave the interpretation of the constitutionality of the laws to the courts, and not to the senators? Next, Sen. Hosmer states that he has concerns about the “overall effect this program will have on public education, and impact it would have on local property taxpayers.” In fact, the effect that it will have is only positive! It builds organic accountability into the public school system by introducing more competition into the education marketplace. This country was founded upon the principles of fair play. As for the impact on local property taxpayers, it would have a zero impact! Here is why. All monies to support this program are provided by New Hampshire businesses who voluntary contribute a portion of their business profits tax. Not one penny comes from local property taxes. Finally, the opposition to the Network for Educational Opportunity (NEO) administering the scholarship fund is completely unfounded and an unfair mischaracterization. First, NEO is a private, not‐for‐profit organization working in partnership with the state government to efficiently and effectively bring scholarships to children who need it most. It is that simple. NEO is not a “shadowy” organization, especially when compared with the National Education Association (NEA) whose union bosses are more interested in huge profits than the education of our children. By contrast, NEO’s director, Kate Baker, is available, accessible, and has committed a high level of transparency to the public. In closing, I would agree with Sen. Hosmer that our public education system is not perfect. Though we need to constantly improve our public education system, it is only common sense that when something doesn’t work, we need to try something different. After all, education is not like a baseball cap, one size does not fit all! Josh Youssef Laconia
Why is convention so determined to take money from employees? To the editor, The Belknap County Delegation does not want to give any Belknap County employee ANY benefits, pay increases or any incentive to want to continue to work for Belknap County. No pay increase (cost of living), no longevity pay (for dedicated longterm service), no nothing! Just take more money out of their weekly paycheck to pay for the increased cost of health care insurance. So how much are Chairperson Worsman and the other convention members taking out of their weekly household income
employees will take? In none of the newspaper reports have I seen any mention that the County Delegation did a comparison of Belknap County pay scales with other N.H. counties. Are Belknap County employees overpaid? All they said is, we need to reduce county expenses so let’s take the money from the employees. The jail and nursing home staff work 24/7. Days. Nights. Weekends. Holidays. Birthdays. Etc. Jail and nursing home staff get spit on, pissed on, kicked, punched,
schools when they attend their private religious schools? You seem to be causing the same downshifting of costs onto the taxpayer that you say is a valid reason to oppose this scholarship program. Lastly, a campaign video said you and your wife send four kids to private school to get what you called “a superior education”. My question is, why can your kids get this superior education while poor kids have to stay in their assigned public schools? The Commissioner of Education said two weeks ago that 72 percent of our public schools in N.H. are not meeting Annual Yearly Progress. I want ALL kids to have access to that same superior educational opportunity just like your kids have. Is that so bad? Gregory Hill Northfield
Conservative Republicans not about ‘usurping’; we want a voice To the editor, I would like to thank The Laconia Daily Sun for being such an important part of our community. Each day I read this newspaper and learn much about what is happening in our local communities and beyond. Indeed, its Letters to the Editor have been a wonderful way for people to communicate differing viewpoints. Dialogue is ALWAYS a good thing! I also believe the recent article “Party Within a Party; Conservatives Organizing Separately” written by Michael Kitch was a fair representation of our phone discussion regarding the newly formed Belknap County Conservative Republicans. However, there was one important sentence at I would like to correct. In the final paragraph of the article, it was written, “She said that conserva-
tives were very successful in strengthening their presence in Alton at the town elections in March.” Absolutely true. The next sentence, “They’ve totally usurped local government”, is incorrect. I not only do not believe this but more importantly, this is NOT what Belknap County Conservative Republicans are about. Rather, BCCR is a group of concerned, conservative Republicans looking to build a voice in our local communities, county/state government and of course, our political party. No “usurping” necessary! So, all in all, Mr. Kitch wrote a very truthful article about BCCR. I want to thank him for this. But, this one sentence at the end of the article, did not clearly define what was discussed and I wanted to set the record straight. Rep. Jane Cormier Alton
Democrat leaders called for Clinton & Bush to control Saddam To the editor, As per Henry Osmer’s instructions, I searched Wikapedia trying to find where it says that the U.S. sent poison gas to Iraq. I didn’t find it. I’m not surprised because this is the same false claim made by Leo Sandy a few years ago. He made that claim twice, about two years apart, and it was debunked then by several people, myself among them. What the professor said was poison gas, and I’m pretty sure Henry is basing this falsehood on, is that a ban on a chemical solvent used in the production of fertilizer, a color pigment
stabilizer in paint and ball point pens and many other legitimate industrial uses, was raised. Unfortunately this solvent can and was used as a precursor in the production of Saddam’s poison gas stocks. That’s on him, not on us, not on Bush, not on Clinton, no one except the Iraqi dictator himself. I don’t know if Henry understands the differences here but make no mistake, it is NOT THE SAME THING. Also just to be clear, I have 15 printed pages of quotes from Democratic leaders: Pres. Clinton, Sec. State Madeline see next page
ears ripped and lots more, often going home to loved ones with broken eyeglasses, fat lips, bumps and bruises, broken fingers, etc., etc.. Maybe Rep. Cormier, who said she volunteers at the Nursing Home, has seen some of this wonderful treatment on the staff. Now the delegation wants to hire and PAY for an ATTORNEY to fight the county commissioners, who want to adjust some line items so the county employees are not mistreated and neglected by the convention-approved budget. The commissioners are using only what the convention approved
in the county budget. Why are the Belknap County Convention members so adamant about taking money away from the county employees? The cost of the ATTORNEY will be an EXTRA expense to the county taxpayers and probably cost MORE than allowing the county commissioners to manage the budget. What a joke these Belknap County Representatives are proving themselves to be. I would be ashamed if I were one of them. Jim Martel Gilford

LETTERS Newfound should not bare total wind turbine burden for N.H. To the editor, Newfound Lake residents are outraged over New Hampshire’s decision, which goes against popular vote, to move forward with these next three wind project developments. One hundred and twenty plus wind turbines in this area will surely have a negative impact on our tourism. Outsiders, looking in, can clearly see that residents are against these next three wind projects. Voters showed they clearly oppose them, surveys identify that residents oppose them and “the talk of the town” clearly shows opposition to these projects. Many New Hampshire officials have also stated that they are overwhelmed by the sheer number of letters they’ve received from residents opposing wind farm expansion plans around Newfound Lake. Residents are also starting to raise concerns that the wind farm developers are offering so-called community benefits (also known as bribes and kick-backs) to local institutions, business owners and residents. It’s being seen as an inducement not to object. Residents are shocked that developers are pursuing their plans in this manner, especially since they clearly stated upfront in multiple public pre-
sentations “we will not build here if the people do not want us to”. Contrary to what many believe — many residents here believe in “green energy” and we have proof of that. Look at how many biomass plants we have in our community already. Many residents also believe that wind farms should be limited — limited by how many turbines can or should be proposed for one community. Newfound Lake should not bear sole responsibility for the majority of New Hampshire’s renewable wind energy policy. That’s just not a fair green energy policy, it should be spread out. The current plan clearly marks Newfound Lake as “New England’s largest concentration of wind turbines.” As developers and politicians continue to push hard for these additional wind farms — I think it’s time for politicians to start thinking about and talking “common sense”. Have some common sense on spreading your green energy policy evenly across the state. Wear our shoes for a day, stop looking at maps and come visit our beautiful lake. It’s time you came to us... we have much to show you both during the day and at night. Raymond Cunningham Bridgewater
Saddam had WMDs during war with Iran; we supplied them To the editor, I was looking at the letters to editor online and was going to skip “1600 year wars” but noticed my name was the first word in the sentence. I started reading the letter and got to thinking about the little tin toy with a crank on the side. As it was cranked the tune (Round and Round the Mulberry Bush) at the end up pops Jack the Weasel. I was not interested in the history lesson any more than I was to read your income tax return letter — what garbage. Jack was correct, Saddam had WMDs during The Iraq Iran War, all supplied by USA. Jack calls me a liar and fool throughout his letter. His version of events are all his opinion. I spent 8-10 hours reading many articles and my letter contains quotes copyed off web pages. His opinion on WMDs and inspections that followed are false. Jack, read the web pages as I did to get the truth and give reference to where your opinion came from. In the meantime, I feel you are a instigator and also add you to my list of pathetic liars along with Mr.
Wiles and Mr. Earle. You wouldn’t know the truth if it tapped you on the shoulder. Honest writers, you call them! Jack,did your mother ever tell you to speak only when spoken too? I wrote a letter to Mr Earle, which was answered by Mr.Wiles. I answered his concerns, asked him how many of the 30 GOP governed states voted for President Obama . . . no answer. His next letter prompted me to write the one you found fault with and you answer that one. It looks like you are the spokesman for your little web of liars. I have had a few 2-minute conversations with Mr.Earle. Now when he sees me, he runs faster than a pit bull who just got introduced to turpentine. Finally, I hope you read the fine column written by Pat Buchanan, twice GOP presidential candidate, who took George W Bush to the woodshed, spanked him, threw him under the bus and slowly put him under the rear wheels, got out and threw the keys in the woods and walked away.

OHRV rollover results in felony DWI charge BELMONT — A local man was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, a felony, after the OHRV he was operating overturned in his driveway shortly before 1 a.m. on Friday, pinning a second man underneath. Jeffret Caldwell, 47, of 55 Swallow Road was arrested, charged and released and scheduled to be arraigned in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division on May 2. Although pinned beneath the OHRV and suffering from injuries, Michael Flack, 43, of 26 Chipmunk
Road, Gilford was able to call police. Officers Ryan Nolan and Patrick Riley were able to free Flack, who treated for a laceration to his head and injuries to his ribs by personnel from the Belmont Fire Department and subsequently transported to the Lakes Region General Hospital. According to police, Caldwell was found in his home, where he was apparently suffering from injuries from the accident. He was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital by a family member and later arrested.
Drug charges added to man stopped for DWI
LACONIA — A Belmont man was arrested on Thursday when a sheriff’s deputy stopped the Jeep Cherokee he was driving on the wrong side of Meredith Center Road and subsequently discovered drugs and cash in the vehicle. Joseph Daniel Morrissette, 23, of 10 Orchard Hill Road, Unit 106 was charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, a felony, and possession of a controlled drug in a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor, as well as driving while intoxicated.
Deputy Justin Blanchette of the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department stopped Morrissette shortly after 3 p.m. Smelling a strong odor of marijuana, Sergeant Dustin Parent and K-9 Agbar of the Gilford Police were brought to the scene where one to two ounces of marijuana packaged for sale, significant amount of cash and other evidence was found. Morrissette was released on $8,000 personal recognizance bail and scheduled to be arraigned in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division on May 23.
Cigarette found to have caused Young Rd. fire BELMONT — A three-alarm fire which severely damaged the second and third floor of a Young Road structure Wednesday night was caused by careless disposal of smoking materials, according to Belmont Fire Chief David Parenti. Parenti said that the person who reported the fire and later jumped to safety from a second story deck into
the back of a pickup truck to escape the flames was the only person in the four-unit apartment structure when the fire broke out. ‘’His only exit, a stairway down from the wrap around deck, was engulfed by flames,’’ said Parenti. He said that the building is owned by James Cookman, Jr., who was on vacation in Florida when the fire took place.
GAMES from page 2 was announced for the opener of the Red Sox three-game series against the Kansas City Royals scheduled at Fenway Park. Saturday’s game, set to start at 1:35 p.m., was still on. The NHL game at TD Garden between the Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins, two of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference, was tentatively rescheduled for Saturday at 12:30 p.m. A final decision on whether it would be played was to be made by four hours before faceoff, the Bruins said. Saturday night’s originally scheduled game between the Buffalo Sabres and Penguins in Pittsburgh was rescheduled for Tuesday night. “We totally understand the situation and (are) respectful of that,” Penguins general manager Ray Shero said. “Hopefully, (we) have a chance to play tomorrow if that’s the case, but, again, the safety of the people of Boston, the city of Boston is most important for everybody.” Capacity at Fenway Park, about one mile from the finish line, is 37,493 for
night games. Capacity at TD Garden is 17,565. With fans advised to stay home and police devoted to the manhunt, the decision to postpone was easy. Red Sox spokesman Kevin Gregg said the Royals have been in town since Wednesday night and spent their off day in the city on Thursday. The Royals are staying at the Westin Copley Place hotel, about a block from the marathon finish line. “We’ve been told not to go outside. We’ve been told the hotel has been locked down, although I’ve seen a handful of people moving around,” Royals vice president Mike Swanson said earlier Friday. “The streets are just, wow. It’s numbingly quiet for a noon hour in Boston.” The Bruins also announced that the sale of playoff tickets, scheduled to start at 11 a.m. Friday, has been put off until 11 a.m. Monday. The New England Patriots postponed for the second time a news conference with director of player personnel Nick Caserio about next week’s NFL draft.
HABITAT from page 5 McCarthy said work on the house will continue on weekends. “We always need more volunteers, we definitely need more funding. We have four houses to build here, we’re doing everything we can to raise funds,” he said. Those who wish to lend a hand should contact Pemi-Valley Habitat for Humanity at 536-1333 or visit pemivalleyhabitat.org.
McCarthy said volunteers need have no prior construction experience. “Most people that come and volunteer have a blast,” he added. “I have dreams about building my house,” said Reynolds, who gets to wake to a life in which her wishes are materializing before her eyes. “It’s beyond description. My dreams are coming true with this house.”
Police say shopping spree resulted from stolen purse LACONIA — Following an alleged spending and borrowing spree with with a stolen driver’s license, credit card and several gift cards, a local woman was arrested last week on charges of identity fraud, credit card fraud, theft and receiving stolen property. Jacqueline Rossomangno, 30, of 613 Main Street, unit 7 was held in Belknap County Jail in lieu of $2,000 personal recognizance and $1,000 cash bail following her arraignment in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday. Idenity fraud is a class A felony while the remaining charges are class B misdemeanors. According to police, in January, Officer Joseph Marquis investigated a report that a purse was stolen from a car in the staff parking lot at Woodland Heights Elementary School. The victim told Marquis that among things a New Hampshire driver’s license, Visa card and gift cards from Tanger Outlets, Bootleggers and Walmart were in the purse. Four days later Marquis learned that a woman used the visa card to purchase a carton of cigarettes and bag of groceries, together costing $140.84 at the CVS drugstore at Busy Corner. From a still photo taken from the surveillance video Officer Tony Horan identified Rossomangno as the woman at CVS. Soon afterwards Officer Ben Black informed Marquis that Rossomangno had used the driver’s license to acquire a computer at Rent-
A-Center and pawned the gift cards at Fast Cash in Tilton. Meanwhile, in February Rent-A-Center reported that a woman claiming to be the person from whom the purse was stolen entered a rent-to-own agreement to purchase a computer costing $896. An employee showed Officer Kyle Jepsen a copy of the driver’s license the woman presented to close the transaction. After the woman left the store, the employee discovered that the telephone numbers she listed on the agreement were all out of service and became suspicious. Jepsen reviewed the agreement, which listed an address of 153 Union Avenue, Unit 1. There he met with a man to whom the name of the victim of the original theft meant nothing, but who recognized the woman pictured by the surveillance camera at Rent-A-Center as the girlfriend of Randy Johnson. From the department’s Master Name Index, Jepsen found that Rossomangno was named as Johnson’s girlfriend in earlier cases. At the same time, he learned that Rossomangno was a suspect in the investigation pursued by Marquis. For posing as the victim at RentA-Center, Rossomangno was charged with identity fraud and for failing to return the computer with theft, for using the credit card with fraud and for possessing the contents of the purse with receiving stolen property. — Michael Kitch

SCOUTS from page 2 until a boy turns 18 — then, when he comes of age, he’s removed from the Scouts.” Perkins predicted that the proposed change, if adopted, would subject the BSA to “crippling lawsuits” because it would no longer be able to argue that excluding gays was integral to its basic principles. Indeed, the BSA has anticipated hostile reaction, estimating that easing the ban on gay adults might prompt between 100,000 and 350,000 members to leave the organization, which now has 2.6 million youth members. In January, the BSA said it was considering a plan to give sponsors of local Scout units the option of admitting gays as both youth members and adult leaders or continuing to exclude them. On Friday, the BSA said it changed course in part because of surveys sent out starting in February to about 1 million members of the Scouting community. The review, said a BSA statement, “created an outpouring of feedback” from 200,000 respondents, some supporting the exclusion policy and others favoring a change. “While perspectives and opinions vary significantly, parents, adults in the Scouting community and teens alike tend to agree that youth should not be denied the benefits of Scouting,” the statement said. As a result, the BSA’s Executive Committee drafted the compromise resolution. “The proposed resolution also reinforces that Scouting is a youth program, and any sexual conduct, whether heterosexual or homosexual, by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting,” the statement said. The BSA described its survey as “the most comprehensive listening exercise in its history.” In a summary of the findings, it said respondents overall supported the BSA’s current policy of excluding gays by a margin of 61 percent to 34 percent, while a majority of younger
parents and teens opposed the policy. It said overwhelming majorities of parents, teens and members of the Scouting community felt it would be unacceptable to deny an openly gay Scout an Eagle Scout Award solely because of his sexual orientation. Included in the survey were dozens of churches and other religious organizations that sponsor a majority of Scout units. The BSA said many of the religious organizations expressed concern over having gay adult leaders and were less concerned about gay youth members. Many Scout units are sponsored by relatively conservative denominations that have supported the ban on gays in the past — notably the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Southern Baptist churches. A Southern Baptist Convention spokesman, Roger Oldham, said the SBC would prefer that the Boy Scouts maintain the ban on both gay youth and adults. LDS spokesman Michael Purdy said Mormon leaders would study the new proposal before commenting, and there was no immediate public reaction from Catholic officials who have been dealing with the BSA membership issue. The BSA survey tried to gauge the proposal’s effect on financial support. Local Scout councils said 51 percent of their major donors opposed easing the ban, while a majority of Fortune 500 companies supported a change. In another revealing section of the survey, the BSA reported feedback from 30 national youth organizations and civic groups, many of them partners of the Scouts in various endeavors. Of the 30 organizations, 28 urged the Scouts to lift the ban, and many warned that their partnerships might end if the ban remained. The BSA also consulted four experts in the field of child sex abuse prevention. The four conveyed a “nearly universal opinion” within their field that homosexuality is not a risk factor for the sexual abuse of children.

Eager golfers open Laconia Country Club for season BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Laconia Country Club opened for the season Thursday and the course is in excellent early season condition, according to head pro Todd Rollins. ‘’We’re right on schedule for when we usually open.’’ said Rollins, noting that last year ‘s warm winter enabled the club to open on March 30, the earliest date in its history. He said that the first golfers out on the course Thursday were John Richardson, Ron Jacques and Ted Hamelin and that the course was pretty busy for a mid-week opening. Rollins, who has been at Laconia Country Club since 2004, is a Laconia native who started playing at LCC when he was only 10 years old. He had worked at the course from 1995 to 2000 and spent several years at other courses, including Canterbury Woods, before returning to his city of birth 10 years ago. Rollins was introduced to golf by his father, Arnold ‘’Rollo” Rollins, who also played hockey with the Laconia Lakers in the 1960s when Richardson, one of tge first to tee off, was the goalie for the championship Lakers semi-pro team which featured players like Pop Whalen and the Pollini brothers of Wolfe-

boro and Dick Ryerson of Tilton. ‘’Now my sons, Evan. 9, and Brody, 7, are playing junior hockey for the Lakers,’’ said Rollins, who says its a good feeling to see the family sports traditions continue. He says that Laconia Country Club, the only private country club on the western side of Lake Winnipesaukee, will open its doors to new members this year with a a trial membership drive in which new members will pay only dues and assessments for the first year, but no initiation fee. “We are excited to share this excellent golf experience we offer with residents of the Lakes Region”, said Rollins. Club President Randy Annis says the club’s 400 members are looking forward to getting out on the course and getting their game back on track. “Nothing says spring better than making a birdie”, says Annis.

Teens assemble for vigil at bridge BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Last night, hours after two eighth grade girls were struck by a vehicle when they were walking away from Laconia Middle School, a large crowd of mourners gathered at the site of the collision as news spread that one of the girls, Lilyanna Johnson, had died. “She was always so happy and smiling. I can’t believe she’s gone,” said Isabella Kevlin, who played volleyball with Lily. “My prayers go out to the family, her brother. I just feel for her family,” said Mabinty Kamara, a sophomore. “I guess she’s in a better place right now. There’s so much horrible stuff going on right now, I’m glad she got away from it.” Brandon Galimberti, an eighth

grade student, remembered Lilyanna’s kindness. “She’s so nice, she’s nice to everyone. She’s the nicest person in the school.” To D.J. Poire, a high school sophomore, the tragedy of Lily’s death was underscored by its senselessness. She and Allyssa Miner were struck while standing or walking on the sidewalk at the time of the accident. Investigators have yet to determine why the driver failed to remain in the roadway. “Maybe this will help people realize that we need to put an end to not paying attention while driving. Because of someone doing something ignorant, another life is lost, and another family is put through tons and tons of grief,” Poire said. “She’s not going to be able to experience the great moments in life, like going to high school, getting her license, graduating.”

Small Texas farm town grieves for 10 dead first-responders WEST, Texas (AP) — Buck Uptmor didn’t have to go to West Fertilizer Co. when the fire started. He wasn’t a firefighter like his brother and cousin, who raced toward the plant. But a ranch of horses next to the flames needed to be moved to safety. “He went to help a friend,” said Joyce Marek, Uptmor’s aunt. “And then it blew.” Two days after the fertilizer facility exploded in a blinding fireball, authorities announced Friday that they had recovered 14 bodies, confirming for the first time an exact number of people killed. Grieving relatives filed into a church offering comfort for families, as volunteers nearby handed out food to those still unable to return to homes damaged by the massive blast. Ten of the dead were first-responders — including five from the West Volunteer Fire Department and four emergency medics, West Mayor Tommy Muska said. The dead included Uptmor and Joey Pustejovsky, the city secretary who doubled as a member of the West Volunteer Fire Department. A captain of the Dallas Fire Department who was off-duty at the time but responded to the fire to help also died. The explosion was strong enough to register as a small earthquake and could be heard for many miles across the Texas prairie. It demolished nearly everything for several blocks around the plant. More than 200 people were hurt, and Muska said five first-responders were among those who remained hospitalized Friday. The first-responders “knew it was dangerous. They knew that thing could go up at any time,” said Ronnie Sykora, who was Pustejovsky’s deacon at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church. “But they also knew that if they could extinguish that fire before it went up, that they could save tens of lives, hundreds of lives. That’s why they were in there.” Following a tour of the rubble Friday, Gov. Rick Perry told reporters the search-and-rescue phase for
LILY from page one The girls, both students at Laconia Middle School and born five days apart, had walked down Opechee Street, turned the corner and started along the sidewalk on the west side of the bridge when they were hit by a Jeep Cherokee driven by Amy Lafond , 52, of 10 River Street, Laconia. Other students indicated the two girls were on their way to a freind’s house. According to several people at the scene, Lafond, who was traveling northbound on Messer Street, crossed into the southbound lane as the roadway bends to the right approaching the bridge. The Cherokee left the roadway, climbed on to the sidewalk and hit the two girls before caroming off the guardrail and coming to rest against the curb on the opposite side of the bridge. Lafond sustained injuries from the collision and was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital by Gilford Fire-Rescue, where she was treated and released. Canfield said that an active investigation by the police, with assistance from the Belknap Regional Accident Investigation Team, is underway. He urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact the Police Department at 524-5252 or call the Laconia Crimeline at 527-1717. Alternatively, he said that information can be sent anonymously by e-mail to laconiapd.org. Immediately after the incident School Superintendent Bob Champlin turned to the Alert Now system to simultaneously notify the families of all students that two middle school students had been struck by a car, stressing that their parents were with them and asking that thoughts and prayers be with their families. Champlin later said that the cafeteria of the middle school will open at 10 a.m. this morning to provide a place for all those affected by the tragedy to gather in the company of two counselors and the student services coordinator. “I want to offer a comfortable environment where people can talk to one another or with a counselor,” he said. Messer Street, from Oak Street on the south to Bisson Ave. on the north, was closed to traffic until the early evening hours as the accident reconstruction team worked at the scene.
anyone still trapped was largely finished. He said the state would offer help to the 29-member local fire department that had been “basically wiped out.” “To the first-responders: I cannot say thank you enough,” Perry said. Earlier in the day, Edward Smith, a volunteer chaplain for the Dallas Police Department, counseled firefighters at West’s fire station. “Right now, the general public might be saying, ‘Well, why aren’t they talking about this?’” Smith said of the firefighters. “They don’t necessarily even want to talk about it. They’re holding out hope.” In a town of just 2,800 people, everyone here knew someone affected by the explosion. Officials offered reassurances Friday about the 60 or so people listed as unaccounted for after the blast. McLennan County Judge Scott Felton said many people on the list probably lost their homes and have simply been difficult to locate since the
Wednesday evening accident. “I think we’re going to eliminate 99 percent” of those listed, he said. The fertilizer facility stores and distributes anhydrous ammonia, a fertilizer that can be injected into soil. It also mixes other fertilizers. Plant owner Donald Adair released a statement saying he never would forget the “selfless sacrifice of first-responders who died trying to protect all of us.” One of the plant employees also was killed responding to the fire, Adair said. Federal investigators and the state fire marshal’s office began inspecting the blast site Friday to collect evidence that may point to a cause. Franceska Perot, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said Friday evening that investigators still were combing through debris and would continue Saturday.

Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Half-off sale underway at Gilmanton Initiative plans Earth Day events Community Church Thrift Shop
PLYMOUTH — Following up on the academy award nominated documentary Chasing Ice, the Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative and Plymouth State University’s Office of Environmental Sustainability and Department of Environmental Science and Policy are coming together, along with thousands of other partners across the country, to be part of the 350 Movement. On Sunday, April 21 from 6:30-9 p.m. (film starts 7 p.m.) the premier of the film “Do The Math” will take place at Plymouth State University’s Boyd Hall Room 144 followed by a national live-streamed panel discussion. The widely acclaimed film “Do The Math” takes participants on a journey from the global issues facing our world to the encouraging, grass-roots movement that is taking on the fossil fuel industry directly.
Bill McKibben, one of the leading environmentalists of our day and founder of 350.org, makes the case for simple arithmetic: “Carbon in the atmosphere greater than 350 parts per million is not compatible with life on Earth. Today the atmosphere is 395 parts per million.” The national live discussion that follows the film will consist of many of today’s leading environmental activists, and will lead those involved in a robust dialogue surrounding the growing movement of those taking on the fossil fuel industry. On Monday, April 22 there will be an Earth Day Environmental Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the bricks just outside the Hartman Union Building on the PSU campus in Plymouth. In case of inclement weather it will be inside the student union.
GILMANTON — A 50 percent off sale of spring and summer clothing is being held at the Gilmanton Community Church Thift Shop through May 4.

Feinstein is giving away a total of a million dollars to food agencies through this challenge and every donation received

The GCC Food Pantry and Thrift Shop is staffed by volunteers and more are needed. The shop is open 12 hours a week. Call Jane Sisti at 364-7437 to volunteer. Food can be left in one of the collection boxes located at the Academy Building, the Gilmanton School or the Year Round Library. Checks can be mailed to PO Box 6, Gilmanton Iron Works, 03837.

Wolfeboro judge’s book, ‘Do Unto Others’ wins praise WOLFEBORO — Robert Varney, long-time Wolfeboro resident, whose “day job” is as a Third Circuit Court judge, was the featured speaker at the Wolfeboro Public Library on Thursday, April 18, where he showcased his recently published first novel, “Do Unto Others.” Varney, 67, was until recently a practicing lawyer with the Walker & Varney law firm and says that his four decades of experience as a lawyer and judge have left him with “enough stories for a dozen books.” While “Do Unto Others” is a mystery with many of the features of a police procedural story, the book also explores questions of class and privilege, looking at the way the intersection of different societal classes plays a large part in the life of resort communities here in the Lakes Region. Kirkus Reviews recently praised the book’s “richness of charac-
ter and dialogue,” while noting “The most striking success is thecreation of (main character) Harry Warren, a flawed man who is neither as flawed nor as stealthy as he thinks.” Writing daily on a 1936 model Underwood typewriter, Varney is currently at work on his second novel, which he says is proceeding more quickly than the first. He describes fiction writing as “exhilarating and frightening at the same time.” Varney says that one of his most satisfying moments as an author came recently when he was at Wolfeboro Library. Picking up one of the library’s copies of his book, he noticed how many times it had been checked out and that it was beginning to look “used.” He thought of the number of different people “who had held this book, my book, and read it. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
BELMONT — Eighteen students from Belmont Middle School were inducted into membership of the National Junior Honor Society in a ceremony held at the middle school on March 25. Members were selected by a Faculty Council for meeting high standards of scholarship, service, leadership, citizenship, and character. Students inducted were: Abigail Camire, Benjamin Charleston, Kaitlynn Delisle, Emily Drouin, Caleb Duggan, Griffin Embree, Zachary Ennis, Julianna Estremera, Nolan Gagnon, Connor Jackson, Jacob Mozier, Skylar Ruelke, Jordan Sargent, Sydney Shepherd, Megan Sinclair, Mikhayla
Singer, Nicholas Randos, and Ryann Wells. “National Junior Honor Society members are chosen for and then expected to continue their exemplary contributions to the school and community,” said Blake, chapter advisor. The National Junior Honor Society ranks as one of the oldest and most prestigious national organizations for middle level students. Chapters exist in more than 60 percent of the nation’s middle level schools and, since 1929, millions of students have been selected for membership. NJHS is sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, which also sponsors the National Honor Society.

School Nutrition Association of NH recognizes Alton’s Shafer as Outstanding Director
ALTON — John Shaffer, director of Food Services at Alton Central School, has received the “Outstanding Director of the Year” for the state of New Hampshire. The award is sponsored by the School Nutrition Association (SNA-NH) and recognizes a director for managing effective programs providing healthful, appetizing and nutritious meals to New Hampshire students. The judging criteria for this award include program enhancements, staff development, school involvement, Association involvement, and nutrition related community activity.

These include cooking all meals from scratch, “Bringing Loved ones to Lunch” theme meals, and includes student participation in creating menus that they serve to their fellow students. Shaffer is extremely pleased with this recognition of his efforts. He credits his Food Services team, the school administration and ACS students for contributing to the success.

Sant Bani student asked to attend the NH Geo Bee SANBORNTON — Sant Bani School sixth grader, Kirpal Demian, son of Jyoti and Chris Demian, has been notified by the National Geographic Society that he is one of the semifinalists eligible to compete in the 2013 NH National Geography Bee at Keene State College on Friday, April 5, 2013. Kirpal Demian Kirpal won the AllSchool Geography Bee at Sant Bani, competing

Kirpal will represent Sant Bani School in the geography competition with the other top 99 test scorers in the state. The ten students with the best scores will then compete to determine the winner of the State Bee; and the winner at that level will receive $100 and a free trip to Washington, DC to participate in the National Bee.

Author releases 3rd novel in New England-based trilogy ALEXANDRIA — In “As Simple Things Go By,” the third novel in his trilogy, New Hampshire author Maxwell MacPherson, Jr. continues the story of three related generations in rural New England as they mature in their interactions with family and friends. The first book, “On Love & Animals,” and its sequel, “Forever Yours,” describe various encounters with wildlife through fishing, hunting, and animal husbandry as the characters learn and love in a simpler sort of way. In general, the books reflect the lifestyles of typical New Englanders, offering much anticipation as the storylines unfold. These connected novels are clean and ethical with little violence, employing educational narration and dialogue that vividly grabs hold of the reader. Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

LACONIA — Doris Barnes, 102, of Laconia, passed away on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at Laconia Genesis Eldercare Center. Born in Houlton, ME, on March 16, 1911, she was the daughter of Elbridge W. and Maude (Stevens) Carpenter. Doris was raised in Houlton and attended local schools. She went on to attend Aroostook State Normal School, in Presque Isle, ME, where she earned an associate’s degree in education. In the late 30s and early 40s she started her career as an educator in Barnstead, NH at a oneroom school on Beauty Hill. She married and moved to Alton, NH, where she took a job as a teaching principal during and after WWII. She then went on to take a position as an elementary principal in Farmington, NH. Doris went on to attend Keene State College where she earned her bachelor’s degree in education; throughout the 1950s she taught elementary and junior high, all subjects, in the Portland, ME area (this included several years as a math teacher at Lincoln Jr. High, in Portland). In the 60s she earned her master’s degree in education from the University of Maine and took a position as a guidance counselor at Spaulding High School in Rochester, NH. Throughout the 70s and 80s she earned certification and credits in testing, administration, and reading from the University of NH, Durham, became a certified career counselor, and was a guidance counselor at Memorial Middle
School in Laconia. Throughout the 1990s and on she worked at Dover High School and later in Gilford as the ISS (in school suspension coordinator). Doris was a member of many teacher and state education associations. She served as president/charter member of the Alpha Delta Kappa for Maine. In later years she worked on the committee to create and maintain the NH State Education Awards known as the “Eddies”. She was honored with an award named for her as a retired educator who continues involvement in education in New Hampshire. She is predeceased by her former husband, Oliver W. Barnes, of Alton. Doris is survived by her daughter, Bonnie Barnes, of Laconia; two grandchildren, Beth Engle, of Laconia, Jim Engle and wife Aubrey, of Apex, NC; sister-in-law, Mrs. Priscilla Okonske, of Alton; several nieces and nephews.

LRGHealthcare & Laconia Police Department have collected 126 pounds of unused medications
LACONIA — In less than three months since the unveiling of the permanent Medication Collection Box, the Laconia Police Department has collected 126 pounds of unused or expired medications. This voluntary collection and disposal process is free and anonymous. The Medication Collection box was purchased by LRGHealthcare and installed in mid-January to address the vital public health and safety issue of prescription drug misuse/abuse. By providing a safe and secure location for community members to dispose of unused or unwanted medications the opportunity for these medications to fall into the wrong hands is greatly diminished. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) 70% of those who abuse prescription medications get them from family or friends, often from the medicine cabinet. No needles, syringes, or lancets will be collected. The Medication Collection Box is designated for prescription medications and not over the counter medications such as aspirin, cough syrups & drops, vitamins, etc. To dispose of these items, contact your town office to inquire about disposal procedures. LRGHealthcare has specific sharps collection days in both Laconia and Franklin for individual community member. Refer to lrgh.org for dates and times. The Laconia Police Department will be going ‘on the road’ for prescription medication pick-ups at the Taylor Home today and at all Laconia Housing locations on Friday, April 26 to coincide with National Take Back Day, Saturday, April 27. The medication collection box is one of the many initiatives set forth and supported by Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health, Inc., Stand Up 4 Drug Free Laconia, Laconia Police Department and LRGHealthcare. For more information on the collection box, contact Laconia Police Department at 603-524-5252. For more information on safe and secure storage of medications and tips on how to talk to your family about prescription drug abuse, contact Partners in Prevention at 603-528-2145 ext. 1800.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’m a 70-year-old woman, still attractive and athletic. I have been dating “Sam,” age 74, for nearly three years. When we met online, I clearly stated that I wanted to get married in the near future and that I had three cats and wanted a man who loves animals. Sam is a nice, educated man. He treats me well, and we do a lot of different things. However, he still talks with his exwife and ex-girlfriend regularly. He says his ex-girlfriend is lonely and has a sad life. I could deal with that, but his ex-wife was the “love of his life.” He says they have a lot in common and she is fun to talk to. Occasionally, they see each other. I don’t like it, and neither does her boyfriend. Sam is a great guy in many ways, but I am having a hard time adjusting to this. He insists that his ex is in his past, but isn’t talking to someone on the phone every other week considered a current relationship? The other problem is that Sam is not nice to my cats. He treats them coldly, and this hurts me. Should I just ignore this? We do go to a lot of places and have fun, and we both love playing golf. -- Sad in California Dear Sad: You have unrealistic expectations about Sam. He enjoys your company, but he’s not ready to settle down. He wants the freedom to stay in touch with his exes, he doesn’t much care for cats, and he’s not interested in marriage. There is nothing wrong with accepting Sam as he is and enjoying the fun times you have together. Otherwise, please stop trying to turn him into Mr. Right, and look for a man who better meets your requirements. Dear Annie: I was hospitalized with pneumonia and then diagnosed with COPD and atrial fibrillation, for which I was put on daily meds. I am also diabetic. I am now home and taking breathing treatments and allergy shots, plus my normal heart and COPD meds. I find that I cannot tolerate strong
smells: perfume, paint, fireplaces, scented candles, etc. The problem is my husband, “Carl.” He is a smoker. He had a heart attack several years ago, and we both quit at that time. I haven’t had a cigarette since, but he started up again. He doesn’t smoke in the house, but he cannot get it through his head that when he comes in after smoking, he still has a strong cigarette odor, and I frequently have severe coughing attacks, shortness of breath and chest pain. He apologizes, but won’t quit. My doctor has suggested several options to help Carl quit, but nothing has an effect. I know my future includes being on oxygen. I am 65, and these constant attacks are wearing me down. We’ve been married for 25 years, and I love Carl. I have a difficult time thinking that he’s so selfish. Any suggestions? -- He Just Doesn’t Care Dear Doesn’t Care: We think Carl cares, but he’s so addicted to tobacco that he’s unable to contemplate quitting. First, ask Carl if you can go with him to speak to his doctor. Then consider an area of the house where Carl can change his clothes and/or shower before being around you. He also can try electronic cigarettes, which still pose a health risk, but his clothes won’t reek as much. But if Carl refuses to protect you from his addiction, one of you may need to leave in order for you to maintain your health. Sorry. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Heartbroken,” whose daughter committed suicide and whose mother is unsympathetic. The only people who truly understand what it is to lose a child are other parents who have. Thank you for suggesting The Compassionate Friends (compassionatefriends.org). It is a beautiful organization filled with parents who care. We will give her the hugs and compassion she needs. -- Green Bay, Wis.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
succeeding at a new task is far more satisfying than succeeding at a task you’ve already mastered. Others may be happy when you take the known road, but you’re not in charge of the happiness of others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re in a trusting mood and are open to surprises, too. You may even let someone else order for you just for the adventure of it, or you might pick up your phone without first checking the Caller ID. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You get the feeling that expressing every annoyance you feel will become tedious for the listener. So you’re selective. You only talk about things you think the other person will relate to. You’re a social genius in the making. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 20). You have tremendous powers of discipline at your disposal. A prize in June comes about because you systematically follow a method. You’ll gain political favor in May within a family arena or in a professional context. You’ll travel inexpensively in June and August. Make your move in September -- an investment will pay off. Gemini and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 39, 44 and 1.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). To the Great Horned Owl, a skunk is a treat, not a threat, because these birds have no sense of smell. Today will bring a similarly fortuitous arrangement in which a deficit will allow for something fortifying. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If only there were an explanation as to why someone is behaving a certain way. Wait, there is! And discovering it will give you the keys to a better relationship, to getting what you want out of the deal, or both. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In order to feel like the trendsetter you are, you need novelty and fresh fodder. After all, what is a trendsetter to do without potential candidates for the next hot thing? CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ask any restaurant hostess in charge of managing and seating the Saturday night crowd: Hunger makes people grumpy. With the Taurus sun comes an appetite. Don’t let yourself get too hungry! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The moon activates your playful nature, and you could even be a part of a performance on stage. But actually, you don’t need a stage to give an applause-winning performance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll reach out to the confused or misguided people around you. You sense what others are missing and fill in the blanks for them. Your talents bless those with whom you share them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Loved ones know that they are better off working with you than resisting your wishes. So even if they don’t want the same things, they will likely try to support your endeavors. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). At times, you’ll feel overwhelmed by your empathy for others. Part of you believes that if you feel some of their pain, they won’t have to. The truth of this is yet to be proved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re on a hunt for the winning formula that will bring your desired result to hand. Keep arranging and rearranging the elements until you strike upon the solution. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not

Yesterday’s Answer
Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 20, 2013
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, April 20, the 110th day of 2013. There are 255 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 20, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed a proclamation admitting West Virginia to the Union, effective in 60 days (June 20, 1863). On this date: In 1836, Congress voted to establish the Wisconsin Territory. In 1861, Col. Robert E. Lee resigned his commission in the United States Army. (Lee went on to command the Army of Northern Virginia, and eventually became general-in-chief of the Confederate forces.) In 1889, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria. In 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.) In 1945, during World War II, allied forces took control of the German cities of Nuremberg and Stuttgart. In 1968, Pierre Elliott Trudeau was sworn in as prime minister of Canada. In 1972, the manned lunar module from Apollo 16 landed on the moon. In 1978, a Korean Air Lines Boeing 707 crashlanded in northwestern Russia after being fired on by a Soviet interceptor after entering Soviet airspace. Two passengers were killed. In 1988, gunmen who’d hijacked a Kuwait Airways jumbo jet were allowed safe passage out of Algeria under an agreement that freed the remaining 31 hostages and ended a 15-day siege in which two passengers were slain. In 1993, Mexican comedian Cantinflas (Mario Moreno) died in Mexico City at age 81. In 1999, the Columbine High School massacre took place in Colorado as two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot and killed 12 classmates and one teacher before taking their own lives. In 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, leased by BP, killed 11 workers and began spewing an estimated 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico for nearly three months. Ten years ago: U.S. Army forces took control of Baghdad from the Marines in a changing of the guard that thinned the military presence in the capital. Celebrating Easter, the Rev. Emmanuel Delly, a longtime Iraqi bishop, pleaded for safeguards against the persecution of Christians in the new Iraq. A landslide in southern Kyrgyzstan killed some three dozen people. Five years ago: Pope Benedict XVI celebrated his final Mass in the United States before a full house in Yankee Stadium, blessing his enormous U.S. flock and telling Americans to use their freedoms wisely. One year ago: A judge ruled that George Zimmerman could be released on $150,000 bail while he awaited trial on a charge of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a Feb. 2012 confrontation in a Sanford, Fla. gated community. In Pakistan, a Bhoja Air Boeing 737-200 crashed on approach to the main airport in Islamabad, killing all 127 people on board.
