Littizzio, a member of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Laconia, was one of the many volunteers at the Gilford Mobil Mart on Wednesday afternoon, between 4 and 6 p.m., where the church was offering its third “gas rollback” event, which has become an Easter tradition in Laconia. Each year, the church offers gas discounted by 25 cents per gallon as an Easter gift to the community, and invites those who take advantage of the sale to attend services on Sunday. At the time this picture was taken there were several lines of cars waiting to take advantage of the church’s gift. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

Major League Baseball takes over operation of L.A. Dodgers
NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is taking the extraordinary step of assuming control of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team increasingly paralyzed by its owners’ bitter divorce. Once among baseball’s glamour franchises, the Dodgers have been consumed by infighting since Jamie McCourt filed for divorce after 30 years of marriage in October 2009, one week after her husband fired her as the team’s chief executive. Frank McCourt accused Jamie of having an affair with her bodyguard-driver and performing poorly at work. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig told Frank McCourt on Wednesday he will appoint a trustee to oversee all aspects of the business and the day-to-day operations of the club. At the same see LA page 11

2 Western photojournalists killed in Libya MISRATA, Libya (AP) — Two Western photojournalists, including an Oscar-nominated film director, were killed Wednesday in the besieged city of Misrata while covering battles between rebels and Libyan government forces. Two others working alongside them were wounded. British-born Tim Hetherington, co-director of the documentary “Restrepo” about U.S. soldiers on an outpost in Afghanistan,
was killed inside the only rebel-held city in western Libya, said his U.S.-based publicist, Johanna Ramos Boyer. The city has come under weeks of relentless shelling by government troops. Chris Hondros, a New York-based photographer for Getty Images, was also killed. His work appeared in major magazines and newspapers around the world, and his awards include the Robert Capa
Gold Medal, one of the highest prizes in war photography. Many circumstances of the incident were unclear. A statement from Hetherington’s family said he was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade. The Washington Post reported that the journalists had gone with rebel fighters to Tripoli Street in the center of Misrata, see LIBYA page 9
CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Senate on Wednesday voted to end the practice of requiring non-union members to pay a share of collective bargaining costs, a bill Gov. John Lynch has said he plans to veto. The so-called Right to Work legislation already passed the House, but a Senate committee amended that version. The bill approved by the Senate 16-8 strips out a provision added by the House that removed the obligation of public sector unions to
bargain on behalf of nonunion members. The bill now goes back to the House, which could agree with the Senate’s changes or send the bill to a conference committee. Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers and could override a veto from Lynch, a Democrat who believes the bill would undercut the collective bargaining process in the state. “The war on the worker continues,” said Mark McKenzie, president of the AFL-CIO in New Hampshire. “We will not go away.
We will not stop fighting.” Crowds of workers lined the halls leading to the Senate before the vote with buttons, stickers sand signs calling to reject the bill. Labor unions feel the bill will result in lower wages and higher unemployment for workers. David Lang of the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire called the vote unfortunate and misguided. “When we come to a bad situation like this, we assess, we make decisions, we re-evalusee UNIONS page 9
MANCHESTER (AP) — Representatives of the Northern Pass project are exploring the possibility of installing broadband technology as part of the power project planned in northern New Hampshire. An official says a high-capacity, reliable broadband system has been a major impediment to economic development
efforts in the area. Gary Long of Public Service of New Hampshire said Wednesday the intent is to provide “backbone” fiber infrastructure and partner with state and local telecom providers for service to business and residential customers. PSNH is a subsidiary of one of the companies
involved in the power project. Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier says the addition of broadband capacity through the electric transmission project would be a great benefit to the region. He says Berlin has lost out on major employers because it doesn’t have enough broadband.

A brainless check writing machine About 10 years ago, a new radiation treatment for prostate cancer came on line. A single course of “intensity-modulated radiation therapy” cost Medicare about $42,000. The older radiation therapy cost $10,000. Hospitals bought the new machines and stopped using the traditional method. This tacked another $1.5-billion per year to Medicare spending on prostate cancer alone Did the fancy new machines do a better job than the old ones? Medicare did not inquire. It just paid. Amazing. A new McClatchy/Marist poll has 80-percent of Americans opposing cuts in Medicare and Medicaid spending to reduce deficits. Well, 80-percent of Americans don’t quite understand Medicare’s reimbursement system and how crazy it is. Forget the Republican plan to squeeze Medicare spending by moving to a voucher system. First, look at the existing setup. For most any treatment deemed “reasonable and necessary,” Medicare pays the cost plus some profit. This has turned the program into a brainless check-writing machine for the medical-industrial complex. Not long ago, an article in Health Affairs used the above prostate cancer example to show the ludicrous way Medicare pays for things. “Coverage is determined without any requirement for evidence demonstrating that the service in question is equally or more effective than other available options,” write Steven Pearson, president of the Institute for Technology Assessment in Boston, and Peter Bach, a critical-care physician at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Enter “comparative effectiveness research” — perhaps the most boring term in public policy today, but essential to containing the explosively rising costs of Medicare, Medicaid and private health coverage. (I suggest “best for less” as a catchier name.) Comparative effectiveness research studies different treatments for the same condition and identifies those that do the job with the fewest side effects. Medical economists generally agree that our system groans with pricy treatments that provide outcomes no better — and sometimes worse —
than less-expensive alternatives. The 2009 stimulus bill and the health-reform legislation contained spending for this research, which Republicans and some Democrats fought tooth and nail. They expressed concern that it would discourage medical innovation. Their unstated worry was that taxpayers would become resistant to sending big checks to equipment makers and other medical providers for bells, whistles and exotic names that add nothing to the quality of care. Much of political Washington has a vested interest in the vested interests. Pearson and Bach have come up with an intriguing way to use comparative effectiveness research without stifling the development of improved technology. They would use this research to have Medicare pay the same thing for services that provide equivalent results. But it would reimburse new technologies at the higher rates for, say, three years. If they prove to be superior, then Medicare continues to pay more for them. What the 80-percent of Americans who oppose spending cuts on the government health plans really want is the assurance that they can get state-of-the-art medical care when they need it. Responsible leaders must impress upon them that enormous savings can be found in Medicare without reducing quality one iota. Furthermore, the perverse incentives in our reimbursement system encourage too much care, which itself can hurt patients. There’s no need for a radical voucher plan that saves money by sending the elderly to private insurers, then curbing payments to the insurers. The government can continue picking up the bills if Medicare starts considering value received for the checks it writes. Patients would be happy. Taxpayers would be happy. Some vested interests would not be happy, and they have lots to spend on scaring the public. The question at the end of the day is: Who matters more to our politicians? (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.)
Gilford School Board took the vote away from its constituents To the editor, At a Gilford School Board meeting in June of 2008, concerned citizens upset over the anti-American, UNwritten curriculum being considered — the “International Baccalaureate Programme” — were issued a harsh tongue-lashing from board member Kurt Webber. In defending the proposal he declared, “the ugly American is alive and well,” implying that us ordinary people are too stupid and
cloddish to mingle with sophisticated global elites (unlike him and his ilk, of course). Article 8 of our state Constitution’s Bill of Rights states that “All power residing originally in, and being derived from, the people, all the magistrates and officers of government are their substitutes and agents, and at all times accountable to them. Government, therefore, should be open, accessible, accountable and respon-
LETTERS Daily Sun shouldn’t change context of letter with words above it To the editor, As soon as I saw that The Laconia Daily Sun had changed the title of my recent letter to the editor (April 15), I suspected that a rebuttal would be forthcoming, taking the letter “out of context.” The original title submitted was: “The Truth About Planned Parenthood in Healthcare” yet it was changed to the controversial and emotional subject of abortion, big and bold, and based solely on one phrase in the letter. To keep the letter “in context,” I restate, “federal funds cannot be used for abortion services anywhere,” not just Planned Parenthood. Secondly, 97-percent of Planned Parenthood’s (PP) services are needed for reproductive health care for men, women and children. I listed the individual services/ testing they provide which are invaluable, especially addressing mens’ and womens’ health issues, STD’s/communicable diseases, cancer and endocrine needs and pregnancy complications. As a reproductive biologist/ physiologist/ medical researcher for over 40 years, I felt Planned Parenthood’s role/value needed to be clarified – hence my letter against cutting funds. It would be helpful if The Sun did not feel the need to alter titles of letters so that the context of any submission is “not also altered.” I know of no other newspaper that does that unless the title submitted is “offensive, or maligning.” My original title was surely not. A phone call from the paper to the authors of letters and a discussion is appropriate when asserting the “need” by an editor for a title change. In the end, my original title was just fine and the “focus by a reader” on the content/ points to be considered would
have been far different. One rebuttal letter in particular was emotionally charged, disregarding 99 and 44/100s-percent of my letter’s intent/purpose – in which I state that 97-percent of Planned Parenthood’s services remain in need of continued partial funding by the federal government. That emotion is exactly what Ms. Bachmann and Speaker Boehner unjustifiably desired in killing funding of PP’s other needed public services. On the other hand, Christopher Burbank (April 20 letter) of Moultonborough saw through this charade by the U.S. House-led Republican leader. His salient points were well stated. Since the 1970s, that federal funding has been about one-fourth of the needed PP budget annually and millions of people have benefited from non-abortion reproductive related services, like STD testing/intervention, especially for the poor and emerging adolescent population in America, both male and female. The proposed decreases in PP, NIH, HHS and CDC federal funding will take us back to the Stone Age in medicine and will not help in deficit reduction. Jack Polidoro Laconia
sive.” We all know this same notion holds true for federal governing, too. Indeed, as Americans, our very basic system of governance at ALL levels is democratic in nature, in which we VOTE for our representatives who act on our behalf. And sometimes we also decide certain questions by that same vote. In such cases, either a simple majority, or, in some circumstances, a SUPER majority (usually 2/3rds) decides the question. Some might call them the WINNERS. The other day, I was chatting with a
friend about politics. He told me that, for a variety of reasons, he must generally remain publicly quiet on the various issues of the day. “BUT I VOTE!” he said. “They won’t take THAT away from me!” Thankfully, for him, he doesn’t live in Gilford because — when it comes to the result of the vote as to whether to continue paying a highpriced superintendent’s salary or not — that’s EXACTLY what happened: The school board, led by Mr. Webber, took our right to our vote away. A right see next page
(Editor’s note: The “title” (we call them headlines) that was placed above Mr. Polidoro’s April 15 letter read as follows: “Abortions account for just 3-percent of Planned Parenthood’s services”. It was no larger or “bolder” than any other headline placed over a letter. As a matter of policy, The Daily Sun does not allow letter writers to write their own headlines. Very few submit them. Over nearly 11 years of publication, now, the number of complaints about this policy could be counted on one hand.)

Kelsey’s at the Grant presents . . . . . . . . .
U.S. is perfectly capable but unwilling to get fiscal house in order To the editor, Standard and Poors, the credit rating firm, seems to think that Congress and the administration might reach agreement on the outline of a deficit reduction plan. There is reason to be skeptical about how long it will take. There is more reason to be skeptical whether it would ever actually be implemented. If U.S. policymakers do agree on a fiscal consolidation strategy that implementation will take time. The strategy will generate political controversy within Congress, between Congress and the administration, and throughout the country. Assuming an agreement between Congress and the president, it would still take a number of years before the government reaches a fiscal position that stabilizes the debt. Even if measures are put in place, the initiating policymakers or subsequently elected ones could decide to change or reverse the fiscal consolidation. I am worried about the particulars of the solution to the long-run debt problem. As always, the devil is in the details. The key is who will end up paying most of the cost of closing the budget gap. One way or the other the political process must deal with this problem. In the end the U.S. debt is a promise to pay dollars. Sharp business practice may tell us we can print as many dollars as we want. Reality tells us doing so will be inflationary. The inflation can undermine the real value of those bond payments. Paying bond holders back with intentionally devalued dollars will cause other problems. While that is not technically a default; it is a legal argument around taking from someone else by deceptive communication. The S&P announcement was not about the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling is a separate but related topic. The U.S. government credit ratings came under pressure in 1995-96 when Moody’s, another credit rating firm, put parts of U.S. government debt on negative watch because there was a political impasse over debt ceiling impasse. The issue is bigger than that this time. The issue this time is a return to a stable outlook. A stable outlook requires that there be a concrete plan for deficit reduction not just a change in the debt limit. A deficit reduction plan needs not only to be agreed upon, but also put in place. Political reality, or maybe that should be political unreality, in the nation’s capitol suggests it will be difficult to achieve the type of entitlement and tax reform necessary to put the deficit on a credible declining trajectory. How sad is that? The president’s speech last week was probably part of the reason why S&P decided to take this action. Viewing his position on entitlements vs. the House majority view on tax hikes it is clear that politics are in the way of meaningful
debate and compromise. It should be noted that if the U.S. lost its AAA rating, the end of the world would be no closer. The experience of loss of AAA credit rating such as happened in Canada and Japan demonstrates that the loss of AAA rating is not a death blow. If governmental finances can be adjusted as in the case of Canada or if domestic participants continue to find the debt attractive as in the case of Japan, higher yields on a sustained basis are not assured. There will be consequences for action or inaction on the national debt. The debate is not yet even including those consequences in the exchange. The rhetoric is still lacking content. S&P’s rationale for their negative outlook does seem to recognize reality. It brings attention to political gridlock. The point is that the U.S. is perfectly capable of getting its fiscal house in order. It is also unwilling to do so at this point. The U.S. has demonstrated it is capable of running large deficits now and over time. Politically the parties cannot agree on any kind of solution. What we do to spending and taxation is relevant and important. It is not a political football to be endlessly demagogued. Real people will be financially disadvantaged if a solution is not put in place. The S&P’s action shines a spotlight on the rancorous fiscal policy debate. It serves notice to policymakers that failure to strike some sort of agreement on a process to address these long-run issues will have negative consequences. Both sides of the policy debate are likely to use this “shot across the bow” as vindicating their own very different approaches. The markets’ reaction to the negative outlook provides a measurable way to track the consequences of maintaining hard-line positions. In that way the action of the rating agency may help advance the process toward initiation of a long-run strategy. By entering the debate in this way, at this time, S&P has served a useful public service by putting all parties on notice that words and actions in the political debate have consequences. This revision is warning. It is about a ratings change that could occur. If it does occur it will probably happen several years from now. That is a long time in macroeconomic trends. It is a long time before their impact on the budget. The current deficits are about recession and war. Both should change. That change should be in favor of smaller deficit. The big health-care related structural deficits that balloon the debt load are still in the future. That said something needs to be undertaken today to change the level of debt. Just my honest opinion Marc Abear Meredith
from preceding page that is the very basic foundation upon which our country and our system of self-governing is built. You know, now that I think of it, the ugly American IS alive and well. He
stares back at Mr. Webber every day when he looks in the mirror; shame on him and the rest of his comrades on the school board. Doug Lambert Gilford

LETTERS I would need an entire newspaper to properly thank all volunteers To the editor, April is National Volunteer Month, and in honor of that the staff of the Meredith Public Library would like to take this opportunity to thank our dedicated volunteers. Thank you to the following people who help to keep the library running smoothly: Jim Rushton, who volunteers nearly every day by bringing in our newspapers and picking up our mail and packages. Our day is always a little brighter after a visit from Jim! Kirsten Pickel, who comes in weekly to put away our audio books and DVDS. June Noreen and Anne Whiting, who come in weekly to attach labels to our books. Ann Butler, who manages our online book sale and David Hickey, who spends many hours putting those books online (In 2010 this work brought in $1,715 for the library!). Barbara Brann and Loraine Martin, who co-chair our library garden committee and, with the help of numerous
Friends of the Library and a generous donation from the Greater Meredith Program, keep our All-America Selections Display Garden looking amazing all summer. Micci Freyenhagen, who keeps our costume room orderly by straightening, sewing and laundering when needed. Jean Dougan, who leads the Friends of the Library Book Sale Committee, which in 2010 brought in $3081.52 for the library. Thank you also to our Children’s Room volunteers: Dorothy Crowell, Jen Dale and Steven Terrio. Thank you to everyone who has helped out at the library over the past year by serving on the Board of Library Trustees, volunteering for various committees, or serving on the Friends of the Library board. I would need an entire newspaper to properly thank everyone! Your hard work is greatly appreciated. Erin Apostolos, Director Meredith Public Library
Tea Party members made race an issue & continue to focus on it To the editor, I am writing in response to Mr. Wiles letter about Mr. Carcraft’s statements about Tea Party members being racist. Apparently Mr. Wiles does not think this is true. Really? Then what about the recent e-mail and picture sent by Marilyn Davenport? She is a GOP member and a Tea Party Activist. This picture is deplorable and reeks of racism. Mr. Wiles also feels that people who bring up race are playing the race card. Well race would never have become an issue if not for the signs and statements made by Tea Party members since the day the president announced he was running. They made it an issue and continue to focus on that along with some members of the GOP. In fact I have not seen so much racist “crap” for years and why because there are some who still live
with archaic views and have never been able to accept that things have changed. Slavery and the “Jim Crow” days are over. Let it go! In a recent poll taken, 81-percent feel this woman should resign. She says she won’t and that she didn’t realize the picture, with the e-mail, was insulting. This woman is not only a racist she must be “stupid” if she didn’t realize the significance of the picture. Nice excuse! And this is a woman who votes on legislation that affects Americans. We are all God’s children. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could live together in harmony, and respect one another, and just accept the fact the USA is made up of many people of different pigmentations. Nancy Parsons Laconia
Voting down SB-27 is only logical things for lawmakers to do To the editor, The N.H. House Transportation Committee heard testimony on April 19 regarding SB-27, a bill which would increase speeds on the Broads on Lake Winnipesaukee to 55 MPH. I had the pleasure of attending and hearing testimony in opposition to the bill from camp directors, the Loon Preservation Society, business owners, the N.H. Lakes Assoc., many state representatives, and of course regular voters from around the state. What impressed me most? The fact that there appears to be landslide opposition to the bill. Of the approxi-
mately 80 people who signed in for or against the bill, 73 opposed it and only seven favored increasing the speed limit. In this light, I urge you all to contact your state representatives and urge them to honor the will of the people of N.H. Remind them they were elected not only for this purpose but to solve the economic problems of the state. And with over 300 businesses in the Lake’s Region against increasing speed limits, voting down SB-27 is the only logical conclusion. Chris Clark Tuftonboro
Senate hearings on House budget are set for today at Statehouse To the editor, If you have any concerns about the provisions in the House-passed budget, there is an opportunity to express those concerns this Thursday in Concord. Whether it is the policy provisions, like collective bargaining rights or the towns’ responsibility toward its less fortunate residents, or the fiscal provisions like mental health services or care for the developmentally disabled, payments to hospitals for uncompen-
assistance or shell fishing in N.H., there are many reasons to be concerned about the budget passed by the N.H. House. There are two public hearings before the Senate Finance Committee this Thursday, April 21; one from 2-4 p.m. and one from 6-8 p.m.. They will each be held in Representatives’ Hall on the second floor of the Statehouse. Please take this opportunity to let your voice be heard as the Senate deliberates its version of the budget.

No room for awkward & uncomfortable at this dance By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — At times, it’s been difficult for Susan Gunther to watch how society treats her sister, Laura Michaelis. Instead of being regarded as someone who is friendly and has a good sense of humor, she has sometimes been seen only as a person with Down Syndrome. Gunther recalled one particular instance years ago, when she and her sister were out for a walk and a passing group of children made jokes at Michaelis’s expense. “It broke my heart,” Gunther said. “All she’s doing is minding her own business and trying to live.”
Things are better for Michaelis than they have been in the past. Now, she lives independently, has a job and volunteers. She’s more involved and included in the community than ever before. However, there are still some arenas where society has yet to welcome those with developmental disabilities. One such area is the social world, and the two sisters are part of a team that is creating opportunities for disabled people to have a fun weekend night where they can interact with friends and meet new people. The group is called the Down Syndrome Team, and it was created when the Family Support Council, of which see next page

Authorities say new leads have surfaced in Bobbie Miller murder investigation By Gail OBer
GILFORD — An attorney for the N.H. Department of Justice said Tuesday that two or three additional people have recently come to them with information about the October 2101 murder of a Gilford woman. Benjamin Agati said the information has triggered a new round of interviews and a number of new leads in the five-month old investigation of the homicide of Roberta “Bobbie” Miller. “This investigation has not stalled in any way,” Agati said. On Nov. 1, Miller and her golden retriever were found by an unnamed family member shot to death in their home on County Club Road. Investigators said she was murdered some time between Oct. 29, 2010 — a Friday — and Oct. 31, 2010 — a Sunday. In previous interviews Agati said the last time someone reported seeing her alive was
that Friday morning. He declined to say where she was spotted only that it was “locally.” Police have released very few details about her death and the ensuing investigation but have said Miller died from “multiple” gunshots to the head. Agati said the laboratory analysis “are pretty much complete” but the state homicide unit awaits some “secondary and tertiary” results. He also said toxicology reports showed there was no other factors — for example poisoning — that contributed to her death. Agati has also said if there was an underlying crime, such as robbery or burglary, there was no evidence of it. Miller was recently divorced from Gary Miller — the former owner of Miller Chevrolet in Wolfeboro and Miller Ford in Sanford, Maine. After what a few of her friends described as a long and nasty battle, see next page
from preceding page Gunther is the chair, received a $2,000 grant from the New England Down Syndrome Congress to provide social opportunities for people with Down Syndrome. Gunther realized there was a greater opportunity, though, and she decided to form a team of local people with the syndrome and empower the team to throw their own parties. The idea is that the members of the team will have gained the skills to create further opportunities once the grant has run out. The team has so far put on two events, which they’ve conceived, organized and facilitated themselves. The first was a karaoke night and the second, on April 15, was a dance. Both events were held at the Gilford Youth Center, located on the campus of the Gilford Community Church. The team has already started planning its next event, which is likely going to involve either the rental of a movie theater or a mini golf excursion. “It’s very difficult for people with developmental disabilities to make friends and socialize. What this team is doing is making those opportunities... safe, non-judgmental environments so people with disabilities can have a good time,” said Gunther. The karaoke night was the idea of Rhonda Wallace, a resident of Laconia. “In schools, they can
tease people that have Down Syndrome like I did. That makes things complicated. It made me feel awkward, uncomfortable.” That awkwardness and uncomfortableness wasn’t invited to the Down Syndrome Team’s dance, though. Instead, the team members invited their friends and others in the region who have developmental disabilities. “It was really fun,” said Wallace. “Spectacular,” said Michaelis. “Exquisite,” added Pauline Donaldson of Meredith. Jeremiah Stevens, of Ashland, said it was nice to see all the people without Down Syndrome supporting those with Down Syndrome. “It’s a time to meet more people that are friends with each other, meet the newcomers and make relationships within the group,” said Liz Hormell, of Meredith. Gunther said, “What we have developing here is some friendships that go beyond our team, also some confidence building.” She’s not sure if the team will continue after its grant funding runs out, but in the meantime she and the other supporters of the team will continue to transfer more responsibilities onto the team members and will look for the right time to open their events to the general public. As she said, “We need to be sure that we’re including everyone.”

from preceding page the divorce decree became final in August of 2010. Miller had purchased the 123 Country Club Road home in August and filings at the Belknap County Registry of Deeds showed she had sold the property to JBB Trust — of which she was the trustee — and recorded the deed on Oct. 29 at 11:15 a.m. The house has since been sold for $173,000 and the deed was recorded on March 2 in Book 2695 page 0273 at Belknap County Registry of Deeds. Jennifer Haskell was Miller’s attorney and said she saw her in her Ossipee offices on Oct. 27. Miller’s next door neighbor, Roger Ladd, said Miller would wave to him when she walked her dog but that she had just moved to the house and he didn’t know her well. He said the day her body was found he was home all day, except for a brief midday errand, and neither saw nor heard anything unusual. Miller also co-owned with her former husband a three-season camp in Acton, Maine that burned to the ground on Oct. 29. Maine fire investigators have since ruled the fire accidental. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Office of the Attorney General at 271-3671 or the Gilford Police at 527-4737. LIBYA from page 2 scene of the some of the most intense recent fighting in the city. After an ambulance rushed Hetherington and Martin to a triage tent, an American photographer whose bulletproof vest was splattered with blood implored the drivers to go back for more victims, the Post reported. Hetherington was bleeding heavily from his leg and died about 15 minutes after he reached the triage facility, while Hondos died after suffering a severe brain injury from shrapnel, the Post reported. The two other photographers — Guy Martin, a Briton affiliated with the Panos photo agency, and Michael Christopher Brown — were treated for shrapnel wounds, doctors said.

UNIONS from page one ate,” he said. “We’re going to assure you that when it comes to the protection of Main Street — that’s what firefighters are charged with — and the middle class lives on Main Street, we’re going to be there for them.” The bill would bar employers and unions from agreeing to include a fair share clause in contracts. Fair share payments are made instead of union dues to help cover the costs of negotiations and administering contracts. Federal law requires unions to negotiate benefits for all workers, union and nonunion alike. “To me this is a matter of personal freedom,” said Sen. James Forysthe, R-Strafford. “No, you can’t be forced to join a union, that is true, but if you’re forced to be reprimanded by the union and forced to make contributions, I would ask, ‘What’s the difference?’” Democrats spoke in opposition to the bill, saying any idea that such laws have helped businesses is not true. Sen. Matthew Houde, D-Plainfield, said states that have adopted a Right to Work law — New Hampshire would be the 23rd — have not seen dramatic job gains. In fact, he said, studies show the majority of workers in Right to Work states have lower salaries and benefits than states that don’t have the law. Many states that adopted the law have a much higher unemployment rate than New Hampshire,

which has the fourth lowest in the nation at 5.2 percent and has more people employed than a year ago, Houde said. As for having the freedom of making a choice, Houde said it’s all in the eye of the beholder. “We have to make contributions to organizations we’re members of frequently. ... We all pay taxes for a multitude of things, not all of which we support,” he said. Republicans pointed out that although 11 percent of New Hampshire workers are unionized, most of that union employment is in the public sector. “To inject economics into it is a bit disingenuous,” said Sen. Ray White, R-Bedford. Sen. Lou D’Allesandro said the bill was an affront to an already shrinking middle class. “It represents a race to the economic bottom for both New Hampshire workers and New Hampshire employers,” he said. He noted that State Labor Commissioner George Copadis has testified against the bill, saying that the Right to Work issue is not among the chief concerns of businesses and workers. “We have 19,000 teachers. We work hard every single day,” Rhonda Wesolowski, president of the National Education Association in New Hampshire, said after the vote. “We represent everyone who joins our union fairly; we always have.”

HUOT from page one Department of Public Works garage on Bisson Ave., although the architects recommended considering the site in the future for high school parking. The second of two on-site options is leveling the two houses owned by the School District on Dewey Street and building an addition to the existing building, moving south toward Gilford Ave. The third, which by the end of last night’s presentation to the School Board Facilities Subcommittee seemed unlikely, was to excavate an area east of the football field and build a building into the side of the hill with a west-side entrance and exit. While intriguing in both design and future possibilities, building opposite the existing football field called for a disruption and possible relocation of the field itself, which Champlin said was not in the budget or scope of the project and Facilities Chair Joe Cormier said could “take the momentum and energy from away from the Huot.” “This is sacred ground for LHS and its alumni,” he said, recommending any construction plans not include the football field — at least in the short term. “For now, I suggest we work around it.” Students also said they didn’t want to walk all the

way around the football field to get to class especially in the rain and snow. Earlier in the day, Laconia graduate Sally Veazey MacFadzen, attended a presentation of the options and said she preferred the Dewey Street plan. The pros, said architects, is the school owns the property and the two-story addition would be connected to the existing Laconia High School. The biggest obstacle to Dewey Street is parking but Champlin said the most important thing about the proposed expansion is to expand the programming for the area’s technology student. “This project is about (education) programs, not parking,” said Champlin. As an aside, architects said the school district should look for any adjacent opportunities for parking. Should the selected choice be Dewey Street, the expansion would be 40,000 square feet and the ground level floor of the Huot Center would continue to be used for technology while, in the future, the high school could expand into the existing second floor space. One underlying issue, although not construction related, was the current Huot Center lacks its own see next page

Tilton police charge 20-year-old with soliciting under age porn TILTON — Police have charged a Bristol man with one Class B felony of using a computer to elicit pornography from under aged teens. In a media statement released Wednesday night, Tilton Police said Christian C. Boganski, 20, of Jenness Hill Lane allegedly used Facebook, a popular social networking Website, to sent girls nude photographs of himself in exchange for nude photos of himself. Police began the investigation on April 18 and detectives responded to his inquiries via cell phone telling him they were a 15-year-old girl. Boganski told them he was 20 and after some
exchanges sent a photo of himself holding his exposed private parts. Police asked for and received both arrest and search warrants and made arrangements with Boganski to meet on a street near his house so the two could have sex. Police allege Boganski, believing he was conversing with a 15-year-old, came to the rendezvous where he was arrested without incident by Bristol and Tilton Police. Boganski was arraigned on April 19 and held on $10,000 cash-only bail. — Gail Ober

with Selig’s thinking said the commissioner may choose to force a sale. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because Selig’s statement did not mention that. Baseball officials could not recall another instance in modern times when the commissioner seized control of a team from its owner. Before Tom Hicks sold the Texas Rangers last year, Selig appointed McHale see next page
from preceding page identity and building along Dewey Street would not likely change that. One teacher said it’s hard for some of the sending district’s students to “buy into” the Laconia High School spirit. After the meeting, Champlin said he understands Huot’s identity issue, to some degree, is a factor and noted some of the bigger New Hampshire cities have separate technical schools — giving the Manchester Technology Institute as one example. A complete relocation to the Aavid building could give the Huot its own identity but, according to architects, an off-site location is not without its problems. They said the Culinary Arts, Early Childhood Education and Business students told them they depend on the high school population for their business. The Aavid building would require some of the shift in programming to go from “student to student” to “student to community,” especially with the Culinary Arts program. On the plus side, much of the parking problem with both the high school and the Huot Center is eliminated and the high school would have plenty of room for future growth should that day come. There is also better access for both students, the public and the sending schools. Although many Laconia High school students take multiple, but not time-sequential technical classes, most of the students from the sending schools come for one program only. If the Aavid building is chosen, it would need substantial upgrades. Experts said some of the plumbing is inadequate for school use, a “two-hour” firewall would need to
be built between the section used by Aavid and the section used by the school and some concerns over school security exist. “We can reuse the superstructure but it’s not move-in ready,” said one architect. He also said the outside walls would need some retrofitting because there isn’t enough natural light the was it is now. During one of the earlier sessions, Lavallee Bensinger architect Cris Soloman said he thought the students offered some of the more interesting comments during their presentation. “I’m impressed with how passionate they are about their programs and the future of them,” he said. The architects will return to the committee on May 10 with costs associated with all three options. Ultimately, it is likely the costs that will drive the decision. The proposed Huot expansion will only happen relatively immediately if the money gets included in the final state budget for the two year period that begins July 1. As it stands now, the House version of the budget includes funding for $7-million of the $7.5-million requested for the Huot project and the City Council authorized a $2.5-million borrowing for the balance should the state money be appropriated. Governor John Lynch did not include money for the Huot Center in his proposed budget. Champlin said representatives from the Huot will be testifying on April 29 before the Senate Capital Committee and hopes to not only get the project funded but to restore the $.5-million cut in the final House version.

Sept. 18, 2010. Police say he drove the car to Hampton Beach where he was arrested at a hotel on charges of using someone else’s credit card, which he also pleaded guilty to on Wednesday. The Portsmouth Herald reports that when the priest learned that his car was recovered, he said, “My message to him is to not to prey on people and steal. I hope he learns from the experience.”
DALLAS (AP) — Weary firefighters finally got a handle on a massive wildfire spanning three northern Texas counties Wednesday, aided by federal reinforcements and a weather change that brought cooler temperatures and calmer winds. But some officials cautioned that the improved weather conditions will last for only a few more days, and the biggest help from Mother Nature still has not arrived. “We really need some rainfall,” said Dan Byrd, a National Weather Service meteorologist working with the Texas Forest Service. “We expect rain in the next few days, but we don’t know if it’ll get on the fires or not.” Also Wednesday, as a firefighter who died last week after battling a blaze was laid to rest, another died from injuries suffered while battling a wildfire earlier this month in the Texas Panhandle. The team of federal firefighters and officials from several U.S. agencies — the second one to help with a Texas fire this month — joined local personnel Wednesday, this time to help fight a North Texas blaze that has burned nearly 150,000 acres in the Possum Kingdom Lake area, about 70 miles west of Fort Worth, and joined with several blazes in two other counties. An inventory conducted Wednesday showed about 160 homes have been destroyed since the fire started a week
ago, team spokesman David Boyd said Wednesday night. Haven Cook, a spokeswoman for the team, said officials at the lake were encouraged because interior areas of the fire were burning out and no longer posed a danger. By midafternoon, an evacuation order issued Tuesday night for the nearby city of Palo Pinto was lifted, she said. Byrd said that the moister air makes containing the fires easier because trees and bushes become less flammable. Texas Forest Service spokesman Marq Webb said weather conditions Wednesday allowed firefighters to make “great progress” in building containment lines in the North Texas fire because the wind was down and humidity was up. He said the next couple of days are expected to offer similar conditions before hot and dry weather reappears. “We’re going to have a two- or threeday reprieve and then things start ramping up again,” Webb said. Wildfires have scorched more than 1.4 million acres in Texas since Jan. 1, according to the Texas Forest Service, including some massive fires still burning. More than 340 people, including firefighters from local departments and federal agencies and troops from the Texas Army National Guard, have battled the blaze that started in the Possum Kingdom Lake area.
from preceding page McHale to monitor the Rangers but technically left Hicks in charge of the franchise while McHale worked behind the scenes. Even when suspending George Steinbrenner from the Yankees in 1990 and forcing Marge Schott to sell her controlling interest in the Cincinnati Reds in 1999, the commissioner’s office allowed the owners to choose their successors as the controlling executive. “This is one of the great franchises. It’s hard to imagine a mess like this ever having happened,” former Commissioner Fay Vincent said. “It’s a very sad situation. I feel very bad for baseball and for Bud.” Selig said he will appoint his representative within a few days. Former Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals chief executive Stan Kasten is a possible candidate, the person familiar with Selig’s thinking said. Reached by telephone, Kasten declined comment. MLB Executive Vice President John McHale Jr. is another possibility as is
Corey Busch, the baseball team executive said. Busch, a former San Francisco Giants executive vice president under Bob Lurie, helped negotiate the McCourts’ acquisition of the Dodgers. In December, Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon in Los Angeles invalidated a March 2004 postnuptial agreement giving Frank McCourt sole ownership of the team, allowing Jamie to seek one half of the franchise. Selig’s move came after The Los Angeles Times reported this week that Frank McCourt had arranged a $30 million loan from Fox, the team’s television partner. Selig has not approved a $200 million loan from Fox to the club, which was first proposed by the Dodgers last summer, and the Times said the money was needed to make payroll. “As the 50 percent owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, I welcome and support the commissioner’s actions to provide the necessary transparency, guidance and direction for the franchise and for Dodgers fans everywhere,” Jamie McCourt said in a statement.

Growing and buying local food topic of Better Together panel discussion on April 28 LACONIA — Growing and buying local food will be the topic of a panel discussion presented by Better Together at the Middle School from 4 — 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 28. For the last several years, the demand for locally grown food has been steadily increasing. Whether it is for environmental, health, or economic reasons, many NH residents are looking for a closer connection to the source of their food. At this meeting, panelists will share information on gardening and home food resources, community gardens, CSAs, and other local food topics. The meeting will also include time for formation of action teams structured to address issues in the region. Health and Wellness, Mentoring, Neighbor 2 Neighbor, a New American Center, and Got Lunch are examples of such teams. New teams are welcome, and existing teams always appreciate new ideas and perspectives. Better Together was initiated in the spring of 2010
by the Lakes Region Children & Family Coalition, a group of organizations serving children and families throughout the Lakes Region committed to working together to strengthen families and community. “If you are concerned about an issue in the Lakes Region and are willing to commit some of your time and energy to address it, Better Together provides a forum for you,” said Shannon Robinson-Beland, Community Support coordinator and regular participant in Better Together. “Better Together proves that volunteerism is alive and well in our communities. We continue to see new faces each month. It is always satisfying to see like-minded individuals come together to tackle problems they wouldn’t be able to address alone.” Anyone attending the meeting is encouraged to bring a can of soup to be donated to a local food pantry, a friend, and positive energy. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call Robinson-Beland at 524-1741 or visit www.BetterTogetherLakesRegion.org.

Saxophonist Jonathan Lorentz to perform with his jazz trio at Bayside Grill in Wolfeboro on April 22 WOLFEBORO — Saxophonist Jonathan Lorentz will perform in concert with his jazz trio at The Bayside Grill and Tavern at 8:30 p.m. on Friday April 22. Lorentz plays with a sound that is warm in tone and rich in melodic complexity. Recently relocated to the Lakes Region from New York, he is a daring improviser who blends modern jazz with blues, rock, and the avant-garde. Lorentz has performed at Radio City Music Hall, CBGB’s, The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, and at various venues throughout the northeast. In 2008, he completed a PhD in music performance from NYU and began transcribing and engraving for Jazzlines Publications. His 2010 album, “Borderlands,” was released to critical acclaim.
Bassist John Hunter, from the Portsmouth area, has accompanied such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Art Farmer, Milt Jackson, and Joe Williams. His playing is highly intuitive, his repertoire extensive, and he’s been called by the Rockingham Gazette “one of the most respected bass soloists in the country.” Percussionist Tim Gilmore, from Lebanon, attended Berklee College of Music and studied with drum legends Max Roach and Alan Dawson. He’s performed with jazz greats Marian McPartland, Sheila Jordan, Tiger Okoshi, Dick Johnson, Richie Cole, and Warren Vache. Gilmore is known for his intricate and sometimes epic drum solos. For more information, call Bayside Grill and Tavern at 515-1002 or visit www.baysidegrillandtavern.com.

Lakes Region Planning Commission to identify funding options for local roads at meeting April 25 LACONIA — The Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) will focus on identifying existing transportation funding opportunities for local roads at a meeting to be held at the Wolfeboro Public Library beginning at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 25. Across New Hampshire, primary and secondary roads are in need of maintenance and repair. In light of the possibility of reduced state funding for secondary roads in particular, consternation has been raised questioning the long-term viability of the state’s transportation investment. Local resources alone fail to keep up with a growing list of needs. Cities and towns have only two sources of revenue to maintain and improve this infrastructure: from preceding page co-chair.

State Aid from the Highway Fund or local property taxes. Without maintaining these revenues, municipal roads and bridges will continue to deteriorate. Over the past four years, the number of transportation projects from the Lakes Region in the state’s Ten Year Plan has been dramatically reduced, and concerns are mounting about falling farther behind. To identify the funding options available to municipalities for transportation improvements, Nancy Mayville, NH Municipal Highways engineer, and C.R. Willeke, project manager, from the NH DOT Community Assistance and State & Federal Highway Aid Programs, will provide an overview of the 14 available state and federal aid programs. Details about the State Aid Highway and State Aid Bridge programs will also be presented. In addition to the presentation from the NH DOT, the LRPC Commissioners will be asked to approve the proposed 2011 Lakes Region Transportation Improvement Program, as recommended by the LRPC Transportation Technical Advisory Committee, as well as the proposed FY 12 LRPC Budget, as recommended by the LRPC Executive Board. All LRPC Commission meetings are open to the public. Call 279-8171 or e-mail lrpc@lakesrpc.org for additional information or special accommodation.

Pooch Café LOLA
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t knock what you haven’t tried. Furthermore, you’re not likely to believe the reviews, regardless of whether they are good or bad. You feel compelled to experience it all for yourself, so dive in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A friendly visit will have far-reaching benefits. You will touch on a variety of interests and topics, which will be most enlightening. Bring things back around to your main point at the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Persuasion is a combination of science and artistic application. You’ll go by the book until you sense that something more is needed. That’s when you use your instinct to strike a deal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be presenting a case to a group. They are likely to remember the beginning and the end of what you say -the middle, not so much. So focus on a strong opening and a closing that makes them say “wow.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Drama relies on conflict. And though you like a good story as much as the next person, when it comes to your everyday life, you’d rather everyone just get along. You’ll be the peaceful agent that makes that possible today. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 21). There’s a windfall within the next four weeks. The way you use your resources will favorably influence how others feel about you. All efforts to be creative and memorable will be a joy to execute. You’ll acquire new skills in May. June brings a bold career move. You’ll celebrate family additions in September. Capricorn and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 2, 50, 15 and 11.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The great outdoors will be the location of your good fortune. In nature, you will feel connected to all things. This connection is made easier by bug spray, sunscreen and proper outdoor attire. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone who is receptive to you will bring out your very best. The barriers to your creativity come down, and you feel momentarily invincible. Arrange to be around this person more often. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll do all that is expected of you, and then you’ll do a little bit more. It’s the extra edge that leads to your success. And you’ll love the astonished reaction you get as you deliver the unexpected. CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you do from nine to five will not be nearly as crucial to your happiness as what you do from five to nine. Concentrate your efforts on making the afterhours special for you and your loved ones. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re loyal, and you take care of your people. That’s why you’re likely to do more to forward the agenda of a group than you would do on your own behalf. This is an ideal time to ask for introductions, pointers and access to resources. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Someone close to you has become too isolated, and you’re just the one to help. This person is floating along in his own bubble, but you can burst the bubble with honesty and plain words. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re usually not interested in making the hard sell, but today is different. You see how good a situation could be for you or someone you love, and you’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen.

––––––– ALMANAC –––––––
THURSDAY PRIME TIME
Today is Thursday, April 21, the 111th day of 2011. There are 254 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 21, 1910, author Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, died in Redding, Conn., at age 74. On this date: In 1509, England’s King Henry VII died; he was succeeded by his 17-year-old son, Henry VIII. In 1649, the Maryland Toleration Act, which provided for freedom of worship for all Christians, was passed by the Maryland assembly. In 1789, John Adams was sworn in as the first vice president of the United States. In 1836, an army of Texans led by Sam Houston defeated the Mexicans at San Jacinto, assuring Texas independence. In 1918, Baron Manfred von Richthofen, the German ace known as the “Red Baron,” was killed in action during World War I. In 1930, a fire broke out inside the overcrowded Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, killing 332 inmates. In 1940, the quiz show that asked the “$64 question,” ‘’Take It or Leave It,” premiered on CBS Radio. In 1960, Brazil inaugurated its new capital, Brasilia, transferring the seat of national government from Rio de Janeiro. In 1971, Haitian President Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier died at age 64; he was succeeded by his son, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier. In 1986, a rediscovered vault in Chicago’s Lexington Hotel that was linked to Al Capone was opened during a live TV special hosted by Geraldo Rivera; aside from a few bottles and a sign, the vault turned out to be empty. One year ago: Pope Benedict XVI promised “church action” to confront the clerical abuse scandal. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. (Commissioner Roger Goodell handed down the punishment after prosecutors decided not to bring charges in a case involving a 20-year-old college student who’d accused Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her.) Former Nuremberg prosecutor Whitney Harris, 97, died in Frontenac, Missouri. Today’s Birthdays: Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II is 85. Actress-comedian-writer Elaine May is 79. Actor Charles Grodin is 76. Singer-musician Iggy Pop is 64. Actress Patti LuPone is 62. Actor Tony Danza is 60. Actress Andie MacDowell is 53. Rock singer Robert Smith (The Cure) is 52. Rock musician Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) is 52. Actor John Cameron Mitchell is 48. Rapper Michael Franti (Spearhead) is 45. Rock singer-musician Glen Hansard (The Frames) is 41. Comedian Nicole Sullivan is 41. Rock musician David Brenner is 33.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 21, 2011— Page 21
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Nearly 20 years ago, I was convicted of drunk driving and given a year’s probation. My brother, “Joe,” immediately cut off all contact. I got treatment for my drinking problem and have been sober ever since. I know Joe was hurt and embarrassed by what I did, and I would like to make amends. I have sent him Christmas and birthday cards wishing him well, but have never received a response. I was not invited to his wedding, and now I have a sister-in-law and two nephews I have never met. My parents are in poor health, and I fear my next meeting with Joe will be at their funeral. Mom says I should wait for Joe to contact me, but since that has not happened, I feel I should make another effort to let him know I am sorry. I want to bury the hatchet. Any advice? -- Midwest Brother Dear Midwest: Joe seems very unforgiving. You cannot force him to contact you, but it is OK to try periodically. We assume your parents have informed Joe that you have been sober and responsible for the past 20 years. We also hope they have encouraged him to give you another chance. Please ask them to find out what it would take for Joe to consider you his brother again. Dear Annie: My best friend, “Kim,” and I moved into an apartment together a couple of months ago. We’ve known each other since high school and always got along wonderfully. However, she is a control freak when it comes to our living space. From Day One, she insisted on taking charge of the decorating and deciding which one of us would do what chores and when. She goes nuts if the dishwasher isn’t emptied immediately or if the utensils are not put away in a certain order. If a throw rug is a little crooked, she complains that
the place is a pigsty and blames me. I dread spending time in the apartment. I am not a slob. I do my best to keep the place clean, but Kim is never satisfied. I work two jobs and always pay my share of the bills on time. I am tired of being treated like a maid. We have nine months left on our lease, and I’m not sure I can stand it. Please help. -- Fed-Up Roommate Dear Roommate: Some roommates are wound a little tighter than others. You can try talking to Kim, explaining calmly that you find it too difficult to adhere to her standards, and that unless things can lighten up, it may be best to part ways when the lease expires. Until then, absent yourself as much as possible, take a lot of deep breaths and hang in there. Dear Annie: I saw the letter from “Texas Single Woman,” who read about the “pass the piggy” game in your column and recounted how her father traumatized her with the use of a pig trough to remind her of mealtime manners. My husband and I also read about the “pass the piggy” game in your column and thought it was a great idea for our manners-challenged 5- and 3-year-old boys. The next day, we bought a cute little pink plastic pig, explained its purpose and commenced dinner. The boys competed eagerly to see who could have the worst manners and win the pig. I can’t speak about their psyches, but our dinnertime peace was battered. The next day, we changed our approach and awarded the pig to displays of good manners. That brought about even more competition and so many demands for recognition of good manners that no other dinner conversation was possible. We have since retired the pig to a sideboard where it reminds us that where our boys are concerned, there are no easy fixes. Thanks for the laughs. -- Lana from Torrance, Calif.

Big Lake Half-Marathon to celebrate 10th anniversary Lakes Region Brownfields Advisory Committee meeting in Meredith on April 26 MEREDITH — The Lakes Region Brownfields Advisory Committee (BAC), representing local officials and residents from the region, will meet in the Humiston Building at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26. The purpose of this meeting is to review the status of Environmental Site Assessments being conducted by Lakes Region Brownfields Consultant, Credere Associates, LLC, on sites previously approved by the BAC. The BAC will also discuss the selection of additional sites for Phase I assessments as well as the schedule for conducting Phase II Environmental Site Investigations following the completion of Phase I assessments. Funding for the Lakes Region Brownfields effort has been provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and, in part, by the Lakes Region Planning Commission. BAC meetings are open to the public. For additional information, call the Lakes Region Planning Commission at 279-8171 or e-mail esenecal@lakesrpc.org.
ALTON BAY — This year the Big Lake Half-Marathon will celebrate its 10th anniversary by hosting an expected 1,200 runners on Saturday, May 7. After a two-year hiatus as owner of the event, Race Director Keith Jordan has renamed the event the “Make-A-Wish” Big Lake Half-Marathon. The event will be a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire. As part of the 10th Anniversary celebration, Jordan Runners have the option of becoming “WishRacers” and have their own online Make-A-Wish fundraising page. “We are very excited to be working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and supporting their efforts to help children,” said Jordan. To that end, Jordan has also added the “Make-A-Wish Big Lake Kids K,” which is a 1K kids fun run. Also new this year is the use of the “B-Tag” to time the event. B-tags are disposable timing chips attached to the back of the run bib. Runners simply pin on their bib and they are ready to go without having to attach anything else to their shoe. Plus, they don’t have to think about returning the chip after the race, or worry about fees for not returning it. “We’ll have all of the usual Endorfun goodies, from custom designed tech tee race shirts and medals to bands galore on the course, but this year we’ll also have birthday cake for everyone at the finish,” added Jordan. “And, of course, we’ll have Jordan’s Homemade Ice Cream to go with it.” Finishers will also
