Insurance issues could slow demolition of fire damaged Weirs building
LACONIA — The city code enforcement officer says the city still hopes the owners of the burned-out Wide Open Saloon at the foot of Lakeside Ave. at Weirs Beach will demolish the building but acknowledged yesterday that there are insurance issues that could slow the process. Many people who do business in the area would like to see the building razed before Motorcysee WEIrs page 10

Decade-long journey to improve library almost at end By adam drapchO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
SANBORNTON — It was more than a decade ago that a committee was formed to plan for an expansion of the town library. Issues relating to land transfer caused delays, and rapidly rising costs of construction necessitated further delay as the project’s proponents sought to cover costs with private donations to reduce the need to spend further tax dollars.
Despite setbacks, ground was broken in 2005. Cab Vinton, library director, said volunteer labor, re-purposed materials and other cost-saving measures were taken whenever possible, helping to save thousands but extending the timeline. The wait is nearly over now, though, as only same finishing touches are required before Vinton can call the job done. The result of the work is a library more than twice the size it was last century and one
which Vinton said will serve its community more than it has before. The oldest part of the town’s library was constructed in 1825 and 1826 and was the site of the Woodman Academy for most of its existence. The library, which was founded in 1903 and housed elsewhere, moved into the current building in 1949. An addition in 1988 created space for children’s materials and brought the square footage of the facilsee saNBOrNtON page 8

Washington teen faked pregnancy as part of school project
TOPPENISH, Wash. (AP) — A high school student who faked her pregnancy for six months as a social experiment stunned a student assembly this week by taking off the belly bundle. Only a handful of people knew that 17-year-old Gaby Rodriguez wasn’t really pregnant, including her mother, boyfriend and the principal, according to the Yakima HeraldRepublic. They helped keep the secret from some of her siblings and her boyfriend’s family and students and teachers, all as part of a senior project on stereotyping. Before the revelation, she asked several students and teachers to read quotes people said about her during the course of her experiment. “Her attitude is changing, and it might be because of the baby or she was always this annoying and I never realized it,” her best friend, Saida Cortes, read. It grew quiet in the see NOT PG page 11

Dozens killed in bloodiest day of Syria uprising BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian security forces fired bullets and tear gas Friday at tens of thousands of protesters across the country, killing at least 75 people in the bloodiest day of the monthlong uprising and signaling that the authoritarian regime was prepared to turn more ruthless to put down the revolt against President Bashar Assad. Among the dead were a 70-year-old man and two boys ages 7 and 10, Amnesty International said. In the southern town of Izraa, a man ran carrying the body of a young boy, whose hair was matted with blood from a gaping wound on his head, as another child wept and shouted, “My brother!” Footage of
the scene was posted on the protest movement’s main Facebook pace. In other towns, protesters scattered for cover from sniper bullets, then dragged corpses through the streets. Mobile phone images showed the bodies lined up on the floor inside buildings. The rallies, most marching out from mosques after Friday’s noon Muslim prayers, erupted in towns and cities stretching along the breadth of the country, including in at least two suburbs of the capital, Damascus. The death toll was likely to rise, raising fears that there will be an explosion of vio-
lence Saturday as relatives bury their dead in funerals that in the past have turned into new protests. Ammar Qurabi, head of Syria’s National Organization for Human Rights, said another 20 people were missing. Friday’s toll was double that of the previous deadliest day of the uprising, on April 8, when 37 were killed around the country. The heavier crackdown came after Assad warned a week ago that any further unrest would be considered “sabotage” after he made the gesture of lifting longhated emergency laws, a step he ratified on Thursday. see SYRIA page 8
DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is almost certain to claim the title of world’s biggest automaker this year, retaking the top spot from Toyota, which has been hurt by production problems since the Japanese earthquake and still can’t escape the shadow of major safety recalls. The No. 1 title, a morale booster for the winner’s employees and managers, would cap GM’s remarkable comeback from
bankruptcy. GM’s sales are up, mainly in China and the U.S, the world’s top two markets. Its cars are better than in the past, especially small ones. But even though GM came within 30,000 sales of Toyota last year and began strong in 2011, any sales victory this year has more to do with Toyota’s problems. First, a series of big recalls has ballooned
to 14 million vehicles worldwide and damaged Toyota’s reputation for reliability. That has spurred loyal buyers to look at other brands. Second, a March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan curbed Toyota’s car production. On Friday, Toyota Motor Corp. said its factories worldwide won’t return to full production until November or December. see GM page 7

Hospitals protest state tax on them now exceeds liquor sales & interest & dividends tax BY MICHAEL KITCH
tinue to levy the Medicaid Enhancement Tax on hospitals. The tax, set at 5.5-percent of net revenues, is projected to collect about $155-million in each year of the biennium from the 13 hospitals. With the tax but without the offsetting payments, the hospitals, Melby said, “will pay more in taxes than they receive in payments from the state for caring for Medicaid patients.” Lakes Region General Hospital would pay $5.7-million , Catholic Medical Center in Manchester $12.5-million, Cheshire Medical Center in Keene $7.6-million, Concord Hospital $17.6-million, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon $36.9-million, Elliot Hospital in Manchester $14.6-million, Exeter Hospital $10.2-million, Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester $4.7-million, Parkland Medical Center in Derry $5.4-million, Portsmouth Regional Hospital $10.6-million, Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua $9.4-million, St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua $8.6-million and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover $11.2-million.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — The New Hampshire Association this week charged that the budget adopted by the House of Representatives would effectively impose a tax on hospitals, including Lakes Region General Hospital, the proceeds from which would exceed those of several major sources state revenue. Leslie Melby, who manages state government relations for the association, told the Senate Finance Committee, that the House budget would cut $129-million in state funds — and thus forgo an equal amount in federal matching funds — to reimburse 13 rural hospitals for uncompensated care and Medicaid services. Uncompensated care payments totaling $115-million — $230-million with the federal match — to offset the cost of treating uninsured and Medicaid patients represents the largest share of the reduction. Meanwhile, Melby said that the state would con-
The revenue from the tax would exceed the $131-million from liquor sales, $85-million from the interest and dividends tax, the $86-million from the insurance premium tax and the $80-million from the real estate transfer tax. Unlike other private enterprises, Melby said, hospitals provides services to the uninsured free of charge and at 60-percent of cost to Medicaid patients. She noted that seven of the hospitals, including Lakes Region General Hospital, were operating at a loss and others were reducing services and staff as well as freezing wages and trimming benefits. Melby warned that eliminating payments and collecting taxes would exacerbate cost shifting as hospitals transfer the costs of treating Medicaid, uninsured and underinsured patients to employers, driving up insurance premiums. The New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies reported that in 2009 hospitals shifted $683-million in costs to private health insurance carriers.
Lohan sentenced to 120 days Federal judge refuses to order Maine to replace mural BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A federal judge on correctly found that elected officials “can and should in jail for probation violation Friday denied a request to order Maine to return a express their views.” Schneider said the judge mural to a state Labor Department office where it was removed last month, causing an uproar. U.S. District Judge John Woodcock ruled that Gov. Paul LePage’s order to remove the 36-foot-long mural in late March constituted government speech, or the right of government to say what it wishes regardless of the viewpoint expressed. The judge said the government had that right because the state commissioned, approved, paid for and owned the labor-themed mural. LePage, a first-term Republican governor, had ordered the removal of the mural, saying it presented a one-sided view of history. Critics of his action sued, contending that the governor violated their First Amendment right of access to the artwork. “It is not the business of the federal court to decide what messages the elected leaders of the state of Maine should send about the policies of the state, to tell a prior administration that its own artwork is too slanted to continue to hang on state office walls, to tell the current administration that it must not remove or replace a prior administration’s artwork, or to tell a future administration which piece of state art, the new or the old, must stay or go,” Woodcock wrote. Maine Attorney General William Schneider applauded Woodcock’s decision, saying the judge
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Several bailiffs led Lindsay Lohan from a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday after a judge who heard evidence against the actress in a theft case sentenced her to 120 days in jail for a probation violation. The actress, who often conferred with her attorney throughout a preliminary hearing, showed little reaction as Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner gave her ruling. Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Holley, said she will appeal, allowing the Lohan, 24, to post bail, which was set at $75,000. The “Mean Girls” star also was ordered to serve more than 400 hours of community service, including 300 hours at a women’s center. It will be Lohan’s fourth jail stint. The ruling came after Sautner reduced Lohan’s grand theft case down to a misdemeanor and after prosecutors gave their case against the actress. Sautner ruled that prosecutors had shown that Lohan violated her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case. The judge refused to dismiss the theft case against Lohan, who entered a not guilty plea Friday. “I see the intent here,” Sautner said. “I see a level of brazenness with ‘Let me see what I can get away with here.’”
agreed with the state “that it would be a dangerous precedent for a federal court to dictate how the state government should express its views.” Friday’s ruling denied a motion for a temporary restraining order to put the mural back up where it had been displayed. The larger lawsuit claiming First Amendment violations continues. Plaintiffs include a union member, artists and others. Jeffrey Neil Young, attorney for the plaintiffs, said he was disappointed with Woodcock’s decision. “We may have lost this preliminary skirmish in the court of law, but we already have won in the hearts and minds of Maine people,” Young said in a statement. The mural was installed in 2008 when Democrat John Baldacci was governor. Among the scenes it depicts are a 1986 paper mill strike; the fictional World War II icon Rosie the Riveter at work in a shipyard; and New Deal-era U.S. Labor Secretary Frances Perkins, the first female Cabinet member, whose parents were from Maine.

Corporate system is morally untenable It’s good to know that some corporate chieftains do feel the pain of their underlings — those hardhit workers who keep being forced to do more for less reward. Take the example of Gannett, the media giant that owns 23 television stations and 82 newspapers, including USA Today. Early this year, Gannett employees were notified that, for the third year in a row, they would get no raises and would have to take a week off without pay. Harsh financial realities necessitate these sacrifices, they were informed. The bad news was delivered as gently as possible, including a thank you for their “continued commitment and great work.” To soothe the pain a bit, the note added that Gannett’s two top executives would take a commensurate cut in their salaries. OK, team spirit! But don’t grab the pom-poms and break out in cheers. Only two months later, bonuses totaling $3-million were very quietly bestowed on the top two. And to add a bright cherry to this sweet delight, the duo of honchos also were awarded stock options and deferred compensation totaling as much as $17-million. So, some 32,000 workers were forced into furloughs to save about $17-million for Gannett, but the corporation’s No. 1 and No. 2 were then allowed to slurp up all of that savings and then some. Who says there’s no “I” in team? It’s not like the executives are doing a terrific job. With them at the helm, Gannett’s newspaper readership, revenues and stock price have fallen substantially, and the corporate chieftains are widely viewed as lacking imagination. But they are credited with “aggressive cost management” — a cynical euphemism for throwing employees in the ditch. Once again, working people are sacrificed because of management’s failure, middle-class opportunities are shrunk, and top executives collect multimillion-dollar bonuses. Where’s the morality in that? Morality? This will seem like a fairy tale now, but not so long ago, it was actually possible for a CEO pay to constitute “an embarrassment of riches.” How quaint. Today, the riches are unimaginably massive, but the embarrassment gene seems to have been completely bred out of corporate chieftains. They have no qualms, much less shame, at producing
negative results for the company, offing thousands of underlings, then wheeling in a front-end loader to haul their own pay to the bank. Yet another ugly example of this piggish executive ethic recently popped into the news. Having cut 2,000 employees, the head man at Estee Lauder reaped a $250,000 increase in his salary, plus new stock payments worth more than $24-million (up from the $14-million he got the previous year). Are there no adults to supervise the corporate playgrounds and teach such concepts as humility, sharing and common decency? In a word, no. Technically, the board of directors is supposed to provide corporate governance, including the setting of CEO pay. But look at who’s on these boards — they’re mostly other members of the corporate brotherhood who have obvious self-interest in keeping pay levels rising for all executives. Boards also include a smattering of “outsiders” who often turn out to have close financial or personal ties to the chief. And, of course, the chiefs themselves sit on their boards, usually chairing them. The tale of boardroom coziness between directors and the bank bosses they supposedly govern was revealed in the disastrous Wall Street crash of 2008. Far from providing any reasonable restraints, few board members had questioned the casino games the banks were running, and fewer yet objected to giving reckless bankers billions of dollars in unwarranted bonuses. Now, after the collapse, what has changed? Nothing. One survey of nine of the big banks we taxpayers bailed out shows that two-thirds of their failed board members are still there, and once again, they are shoveling inexplicably huge bonuses at the same old CEOs, who have returned to playing the same old casino games that caused the crash. A system that enriches executive elites while crushing the middle class is worse than an embarrassment — it’s morally untenable. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
We have come to a very strange definition of boating safety To the editor, It is a very strange mindset these folks in Concord have about safety on N.H. waterways. It’s okay to have very young children operating motorized boats. It’s okay to allow salespeople to hand out “temporary” certificates with a boat rental to people who know
nothing about boating, sending them out onto the water operating boats. It’s okay to allow local law enforcement to force boaters off public docks in severe weather putting lives and property in danger. But experienced boaters cannot see next page
LETTERS Tilton police will still be expected to greet you with a smile To the editor, I feel sorry for the employees of the Tilton Police Department. It must be hard to hold your head up and work in conditions that will just get worse. You know that when the economy gets worse your work load increases. People who are unemployed have more time on their hands and subsequently make more demands of public services. You know that you’ll get more people who take chances with unsafe vehicles, crimes and domestics will go up. Drinking is a pastime that more people turn to if not a worse vice and nothing good comes from over indulgence. This will lead to more arrests when arguments and poor decisions are made. As your workload increases you’ll have the same problems of no place to keep the squabbling people separated, paper thin walls won‘t keep the yelling and profanity from intimidating witnesses in the other rooms. You’ll still have to deal with juveniles and adults taking turns in the booking room or sitting in idling cruisers waiting in the parking lot. Those dark stains on the carpet floor from possible blood or urine doesn’t mean people can’t walk on it. Your evidence room will just have to expand into the file storage area and when files are stored off site it will just take more time to find them. Evidence that needs to be processed will just have to be taken to the State Police Lab in Concord. When you deal with the handi-
capped, you’ll just have to call for more help from other towns to help carry them around or up the stairs. The handicapped are used to people dealing with them in that manner and it won’t change anytime soon. The dispatchers will just have to concentrate more on the phone calls and the radio traffic, trying to block out the yells and the people talking in other nearby rooms. The police will be still expected to greet you with a smile and solve all your problems with the speed of a magician and do it without overtime funds. Safety of the public and the employees and the victims and the witnesses and the suspects will just have to take a backseat when it comes to getting the job done. The crimes will still happen and arrests will still be made and those of you who are unaffected by the direct crimes will never know what goes on… until its in bold print on the front page of the news papers. Evidence dismissed — case thrown out of court, unsafe work conditions — lawsuit settled, prisoner escapes — gets run over, tragic loss — fire marshal sites lack of fire exits to blame. I know the Tilton Police Department will still do their job the best they can. I just want them to know I’m proud of them and the work they do, they are all true professionals. Owen Wellington Retired Police Captain Tilton
Born to student parents who were visiting his father’s homeland To the editor, Since about 30-percent of U..S voters still question where Obama was born, I’d like someone to explain why Obama refuses to publicly release what he claims is his official birth certificate? Why has he spent over $2,000,000 to hide that information? Any of us will, and have, released our birth certificates many times! With certified data from Kenya on Obama’s birth there, and records that show his parents moving back to Honolulu, submitting birth information to the newspaper, which was published, and submitting data to local hospital, which was acknowledged (which is what many try to call
his birth certificate), why isn’t it clear that Obama was born in Kenya, to student parents visiting his father’s home, who, as soon as possible, went back to Honolulu to record the birth? Why also does Obama, or his parents, refuse to tell us anything about his Kenya passport to move to Indonesia for about 10 years, raised as a Muslim? It is not even clear yet when he came back to Honolulu, or what happened to his step father, before he arrived in Chicago. Who will fill in the blanks? Clearly Obama doesn’t want any of that known. WHY? Jack Stephenson Gilford

LETTERS If you create life you are responsible for maintaining it To the editor, Two points: It seems as though the birther debate will never have an end. I always try to research as much as possible before making a decision on something, and in this case, found compelling evidence on both sides. Long form, short form, Kenya, Hawaii, Connecticut social, communist grandfather, statues in Indonesia; the list goes on and on until it is enough to make your head explode. What I’ve concluded is that most people who support him believe that he was born here, and the ones who don’t support him believe the other evidence. You can lob propaganda grenades all day, enlist scores of lawyers to investigate and even show me newspaper articles proclaiming his birth… truth is; we’ll never know if we know the truth or not, and that in itself is worrisome. At any point in my life where tragedy has struck on a national scale, from the Challenger explosion through 9/11, I have sought comfort and found it in hearing our president speak. I have always thought of our president as strong and faithful to it’s citizens. I guess that is why I will not vote for Obama again. I, like many other independents, thought he was a unifier, instead our country is more polarized then when Bush was our leader. Through all the controversy and strife, I still do not get that comforting feeling that Obama is one of us and has the interests of the United States at the top of his priority list. I don’t care where he was born, he doesn’t feel like an American. Secondly, I have written in about abortion before, but feel it needs to be said again. I believe you must first acknowledge your faith to confront a reality about abortion. Simple quesfrom preceding page travel 10 mph over the current speed limit in a wide open area of Lake Winnipesaukee? Yes, they have a very strange definition of boating safety indeed.

tion: do you believe humans have souls? I personally am agnostic, so I believe we do have souls (or a lifeenergy of some sort). If you answered yes, which statistics say are about 98-percent of our world’s population, the next question is: when during or after conception does a soul enter the zygote? A second, a day, a month? To speculate is ridiculous. If you believe in any afterlife of any type, then you cannot gamble as to when a soul enters that small ball of cells that you are responsible for creating. And if you create life, you are responsible for maintaining it, and the fact is, if you do nothing to that small group of cells, it will grow into a baby. If you destroy it, you are murdering a human being. Plain and simple. We all know it is not a perfect world, and my solution to abortion will never be accepted, but I believe the mother should have to carry to term, and if she still doesn’t want it after birth, adoption is the course of action. Of course rape, incest or a danger to the mother are all reasons for termination, but outside of that , the mother should not be allowed to kill her fetus. Certainly the father should have to take on much responsibility as well. I never understood why having a womb gives you the license to murder. It should be known, that my wife and I had an unwanted pregnancy soon after we were married, where abortion was seriously considered. It brings tears to my eyes now when I look at my beautiful 3-year-old daughter, who is my inspiration and greatest source of joy in life. Planned pregnancy counseled us and had us leaning towards abortion but then my Roman Catholic mother slapped some mental sense into me and for that I will always love and respect her on an entirely different level. Take from that what you will, but remember one thing – I have often heard stories from women who regret having an abortion, but you never hear a parent talking about how they regret their child.

49-year-old Laconia man accused of sexual relationship with 12-year-old girl By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA -— A 49-year-old city man is being held on $50,000 cash-only bond for allegedly meeting a 12-year-old girl at Opechee Point after being ordered to stay away from her and her family. Police said David A. Cartier, 49, 380 Mile Hill Road Apt. 28 met the girl after she allegedly gotten a text message from him last Wednesday. The victim, along with two of her friends allegedly met Cartier where he gave the her $50 and a pack of cigarettes. The two allegedly “made out” for about five minutes. Cartier also appeared in Laconia District Court on March 24 where he answered to four counts of
aggravated felonious sexual assault allegedly with the same girl and including sexual penetration as well as two oral sex acts. On Thursday, a Belknap County grand jury indicted him for three of the four counts originally levied by the Laconia Police. He was initially released on $50,000 personal recognizance bail and was ordered to stay away from all children under the age of 16. According to affidavits regarding his most recent charge of breach of bail, after Cartier met with the victim, she allegedly told her friends he had asked her to marry him and the two had planned on meeting in a hotel this weekend to “celebrate their anniversary.”
One of the victim’s associates allegedly told police during their investigation she had previously referred to Cartier as “her grandfather” and said he had raped her. The associate told police it now seems to her “more like they had a relationship together.” By law, no person under 13-year-old is considered capable of willingly consenting to sex. When police interviewed the alleged victim, she would admit only that Cartier gave her a cell phone which was taken into police custody. Should Cartier post bail, he is ordered to report to the Laconia Police twice daily, not to leave the state and to stay away from the victim, her associates and her family as well as all children under 16-year-old.
FairPoint expands broadband coverage in Alton, Gilford & Moultonborough MANCHESTER — FairPoint Communications has expanded broadband service to an additional 500 homes and businesses in parts of Alton, Gilford and Moultonborough. For some in these communities, this is the first time FairPoint’s high-speed Internet service has been available. “Broadband availability can open doors to the world for the residents and businesses in New Hampshire and is fundamental to the state’s future economic growth,” said Teresa Rosenberger, state president for FairPoint in New Hampshire. “Our employees are working every day to bring broadband to the Granite State. We are pleased to announce the
availability of high-speed Internet for residents and businesses in Alton, Gilford and Moultonborough.” High-speed Internet connection areas include all or portions of County and Reed roads in Alton. Gilford residents on parts of Avacado, Bickford, Cherry Valley, Glidden and Grant roads will also now have high-speed Internet service available to them.

Since April 2008, FairPoint has invested nearly $140-million in the communications infrastructure and technology to bring broadband to northern New England, including building more than 1,500 miles of new fiber across the region.

Belknap commissioners will lobby for restoration of community college system budget By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Belknap County Commission last week unanimously agreed to urge the Legislature to restore funding to the Community College System stripped from the budget by House of Representatives. Governor John Lynch proposed cutting the system’s budget by $7.2-million over the biennium, but

the House cut much deeper, trimming $18.7-million. The reduction, said Paul Holloway, who chairs the board of trustees of the Community College System, was the equivalent of closing two of the seven colleges. Although enrollment has grown uninterrupted for the past 12 years, the proposed cut would leave it with the state funding it received in 1992. He said that each $1-million of state funding represents a 1.6-percent increase in tuition, which for years has

Aiken to step down after 14 years as head of Mutual Fire Aid LACONIA — After 14 years, Douglas Aiken plans to retire as chief coordinator of Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid. The son of call firefighter in Manchester who rose to become a Battalion Chief, Aiken spent his boyhood frequenting fire houses and fire scenes. But, after earning his engineering degree, he pursued a career in broadcasting, first at RKO General in Boston and later at WZID in Manchester. He formed A&H Productions, which provided sound and lighting for stage shows. In 1974, Aiken followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Manchester Fire Department, beginning a career that stretched to 21 years in the fire alarm division. As deputy emergency management director he oversaw the EMS paramedic program
and later became chief of communications. Aiken joined Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid in 1997, when it operated in the basement of the Belknap County courthouse. Three years later the system moved to its present quarters on the old State School property. Under Aiken’s stewardship, the communications system has kept pace with rapidly changing technologies. Aiken was the first and only chairman of the New Hampshire 9-1-1 Commission and serves on a number of national committees dealing with various aspects of emergency communications. An avid skier, Aiken and wife Judy live in Moultonborough. Their son Corey serves with the United States Air Force and their daughter Brooke is an educator. — Michael Kitch
GM from page 2 That means buyers across the globe may not be able to get the models they want. Already the crisis has cost the company production of 260,000 vehicles. Last year, Toyota sold 8.42 million cars and trucks, barely ahead of a resurgent GM, which sold 8.39 million. GM held the No. 1 spot from 1932 until 2008. Here’s why GM is almost a lock to retake the lead this year:
A BETTER GM: General Motors Co. was dysfunctional three years ago, hobbled by enormous debt and a giant bureaucracy. Its quality was suspect, it lost billions, and it had few products other than pickups that buyers found appealing. After a government bailout, a leaner GM emerged from a 2009 bankruptcy with new vehicles and a focus on Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac. Since then, GM has come up with hits including the Chevrolet Equinox small SUV, the Buick LaCrosse luxury car, and the Chevrolet Cruze compact. Its quality is better. Sales so far this year are up 25 percent in the U.S. and 10 percent in China. The efficient Cruze compact and Chevrolet Volt car both hit the market as U.S. gasoline prices started rising. TOYOTA TROUBLES: Bad publicity from the recalls, mainly for cars that can accelerate without warning, was hurting Toyota long before the earthquake. The recalls began late in 2009, and came just as GM, Ford, Hyundai, and others introduced more competitive cars and trucks. With a bunch of nice alternatives and doubts about quality, customers who once dutifully returned to Toyota started considering other brands. Many Toyota models look old and need upgrades. Despite rebates and low-interest financing, Toyota was the only major automaker with lower U.S. sales last year. Sales are up 12.5 percent so far in 2011, but only at half the growth of GM.
from preceding page order to qualify as an apprentice bricklayer and later, after learning that the credits could be transferred to a four-year institution, earned his bachelor’s degree at Rutgers University in two years and proceeded to law school. “I would not have become a lawyer without the community college,” he said. Thomas noted that increases in tuition to offset the cuts would prompt more students to attend schools in other states, where out-of-state tuition is less than the tuition the system charges residents He added that the House budget also would eliminate student incentive grants and scholarship funds. He warned that if Lakes Region Community College is compelled to reduce expenditures by between $500,000 and $1-million, programs would be curtailed and services scrapped.

Belknap employment recovery lags behind state average LACONIA — The unemployment rate in the Laconia labor market, which includes the towns of Belmont, Gilford, Gilmanton and Meredith, dropped to 6.2-percent, in March, according to data released by the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security this week. Unemployment throughout the state fell to 5.2-percent. At the same time, unemployment was 6.1-percent in Belknap County and 6.7-percent in Laconia. Among the 10 counties, Belknap County posted the second highest unemployment rate in the state, trailing only Coos County at 7.5 -percent. Unemployment was less than 6-percent in all the remaining eight counties. Among the 13 cities in the state, only Berlin, where unemployment stood at 9-per-
cent, posted a higher jobless rate than Laconia. During the last 12 months, since March 2010, local unemployment has fallen by more than 25-percent. A year ago the unemployment rates were 8.7-percent in the Laconia labor market, 8.4-percent in Belknap County and 9.3-percent in Laconia. Annette Nielsen of the Department of Employment Security said that although unemployment in Belknap County and Laconia has decreased, because it peaked at relatively high rates, it remains relatively high. She said that the economy of the Lakes Region, in which the hospitality and construction sectors are significant, is particularly susceptible to seasonal fluctuations. — Michael Kitch
SANBORNTON from page one ity to 2,732. Thanks to the effort of recent years, the library now has 6,764 square feet and another 1,500 square feet of storage space. “There was very little open space,” prior to the addition, Vinton said, and the library’s collection was contained on shelves that crowded aisles and blocked natural sunlight. With more space, the collection has been shuffled and arranged to create an airier environment. “It’s more open, welcoming, inviting, something you’d want to spend some time in,” Vinton said. Those tall shelves are still utilized by the library, though in a different form. A volunteer, Charles Wyman, took apart the shelves and, using plywood and casters, built new shelves which stand about four feet high and can be rolled around the room. The shelves are holding the adult collection in what Vinton calls the “big room,” a space on the second floor with a high, peaked ceiling and lots of natual light. “Now, the space can be re-arranged at the drop of a hat,” Vinton said. Vinton isn’t wasting any time to prove that point. On Saturday, April 30, beginning at 7 p.m., yankee humorist Rebecca Rule will visit the library. The shelves will be rolled out of the way and the room will be able to accommodate up to 80 people. There’s no charge for the event, though Vinton recommended people that are interested in the event reserve a seat by calling 286-8288. The following Saturday, May 7, the library will be hosting an open house to show off its new shape. The celebration will last through the library’s regular Saturday hours – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. – and Vinton is planning to create a scavenger hunt that will bring participants to each corner of the facility. In addition to the “big room” housing the adult collection, new space includes a “New Hampshire Room” which is suitable for small meetings. The New Hampshire room is where the library will store its historic materials, some of which date back
nearly two centuries. The children’s collection has been moved to the firstfloor room previously occupied by the adult collection. In the space where the children’s collection was, the library has created what Vinton called a “community living room” where patrons can make a cup of coffee, read periodicals and use some of the several additional computers which will soon be installed. The Woodman Room will continue to be available as a community meeting space for up to 45 people. The final projected cost of the project is $470,000, of which about two-thirds will be paid for by the town and the rest through private donations. Asked what the sum of the many changes will be for the library, Vinton replied, “It’s going to be a vibrant and vital resource, something that builds community, draws the far corners of Sanbornton together.” SYRIA from page 2 It was a clear sign that regime was prepared to escalate an already bloody response, with nearly 300 already dead in more than five weeks. Previously, Assad has mixed the crackdown with gestures of reform in a failed attempt to deflate the protests. The bloodshed so far has only served to invigorate protesters whose demands have snowballed from modest reforms to the downfall of the 40-year Assad family dynasty. Each Friday, growing numbers of people in multiple cities have taken to the streets despite the near certainty that they would come under swift attack from security forces and shadowy pro-government gunmen known as “shabiha.” “Bullets started flying over our heads like heavy rain,” said one witness in Izraa, where police opened fire on protesters marching in front of the mayor’s office. The town is located in southern Daraa province where the uprising kicked off in mid-March. In Washington, President Barack Obama condemned the latest use of force by Syria against antisee SYRIA page 10

WEIRS from page one cle Week begins in mid-June. After a vote of the Laconia City Council on April 11, the city issued an order to 38 Endicott Street North LLC, Alfred Mitchell, Andre Skonieczny, the N.H. Department of Revenue and the John L.Carter Sprinkler Co. Inc. an order to raze the remaining structure and remove the debris by May 6. Thirty-eight Endicott Street North, LLC is the company — owned by Brandi Baldi — that purchased the land and building in January 2010 for $450,000 from Mitchell and Skonieczny. Mitchell and Skonieczny purchased the land the same day from DLT Real Estate for $350,000 and the John J. Carter Sprinkler Co. has filed a mechanics lien for sprinkler work performed, saying it was not paid. The Citizen reported earlier this week that Baldi’s insurance company has denied her claim for losses from the fire but said the suit, filed in Belknap
County superior Court, does not reveal why. Code Enforcement Officer Bill Stewart said it had been the hopes of city officials that Baldi would pay for the demolition but said the city was prepared to pay for it and put it’s own lien against the property for repayment. The order to “correct the hazardous condition of a building” cites N.H. RSA 155-B:6 and 7, which authorizes the city to do the demolition itself and attach the lien that would have the same recovery status as a tax lien and be paid before mortgage debt. He said Baldi has 20 days from when when the city issued the order to either comply or challenge it. As of Friday, no challenged had been received by the city and Stewart said the city is prepared to file a motion for summary enforcement in Laconia District Court if there is no action on her part. — Gail Ober
SYRIA from page 8 government demonstrators and said the regime’s “outrageous” use of violence against the protesters must “end now.” In a statement, Obama said Syria’s moves to repeal a decades-old emergency law and allow peaceful demonstrations were not serious in light of Friday’s events. He called on Assad to change course and obey the will of his people by giving them what they seek — freedom of expression, association, peaceful assembly and the ability to choose their leaders. Tens of thousands marched Friday in the Damascus suburbs of Douma and Hajar Aswad, the central cities of Hama and Homs, Latakia and Banias on the coast, the northern cities of Raqqa and Idlib, the northeastern Kurdish region, and in Daraa, witnesses said. It was certainly one of the most robust gatherings to date, but it was difficult to gauge whether turnout was larger than heavy demonstrations a week ago. Because the protests were so quickly and violently dispersed Friday, it appeared that many gatherings were broken up before the masses hit the streets. Amnesty International put the day’s death toll at 75, mirroring reports from witnesses to The Associated Press. Friday’s witness accounts could not be independently confirmed because Syria has expelled journalists and restricted access to trouble spots. Witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. As it has stepped up its response, Assad’s regime has seemed little affected by mounting international
concern over the violence. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. calls on the Syrian government “to cease and desist from the use of violence against peaceful protesters” and to “follow through on its promises and take action toward the kind of concrete reform that they’ve promised.” In the U.K., Britain’s Foreign Secretary William Hague condemned the “unacceptable killing of demonstrators by the Syrian security forces.” “I call on the Syrian security forces to exercise restraint instead of repression, and on the Syrian authorities to respect the Syrian people’s right to peaceful protest,” Hague said. The protest movement has been the gravest challenge against the autocratic regime led by Assad, who inherited power from his father 11 years ago in one of the most rigidly controlled countries in the Middle East. The uprising in Syria takes its inspiration from the popular revolts that toppled the leaders in Egypt and Tunisia. But Syria is a highly unpredictable country, in part because of its sizable minority population, the loyalty of the country’s military and the regime’s web of allegiances to powerful forces including Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Shiite powerhouse Iran. Serious, prolonged unrest in Syria would almost inevitably hurt Hezbollah and weaken Iran’s influence in the region. But it is not at all clear what would come next if a power vacuum emerges in Syria.

ALTON from page one not to discuss Vanderhoof or the police department because anything involving them is a personnel and legal matter. While information as to the substance of what comes from the final MRI report and the ongoing lawsuit filed by Vanderhoof against the town of Alton for unpaid overtime he says he worked may be protected, at this point, by the state’s Right to Know law, the total amount of taxpayer money spent is not. Vanderhoof is also suing the town in Strafford County Superior Court for $124,000 for the hours he worked as an on-call supervisor who is not a department head. He also claims he was not paid nearly $5,000 for overtime and time he was called into work to perform alcohol breath tests because he was the only one trained to perform them. Within the past few months, two disputes centering around the Alton Police Department have come
to light including Vanderhoof’s paid administrative leave and Chief Ryan’s Heath’s company’s non-payment of of nearly $15,000 in property taxes. Heath was a borrower who, among nearly 500 others, fell victim to convicted felons Scott Farah and Donald Dodge and their now-defunct Meredith mortgage company. Heath, who, through his limited liability company was trying to build homes, signed paperwork to borrow money for construction loans but never received much of it and didn’t have the money to finish his development. With the involved properties now subject to the wiles of the Federal Bankruptcy Court, the town will have to wait for its money but, once the Chapter 7 bankruptcy is finished, it will be paid in full with interest. Selectman Chair David Hussey said last week the town was moving as quickly as possible to resolve the issues within the police department.
NOT PG from page 2 gym as more and more quotes were read aloud, Yakima Herald-Republic reported. Then Rodriguez dropped her bomb: “I’m fighting against those stereotypes and rumors because the reality is I’m not pregnant.” She had been nervous about how the crowd might react. After all, she had been lying to them since October. “In essence, she gave up her senior year,” said Principal Trevor Greene. “She sacrificed her senior year to find out what it would be like to be a potential teen mom.” “I admire her courage. I admire her preparation. I give her mother a lot of credit for backing her up on this,” he said. At first Rodriguez’s mother wasn’t sure what to make of the idea, either. “I thought she was crazy,” says 52-year-old Juana Rodriguez, adding it was difficult to lie to family members. But she felt she needed to support her daughter, who enlisted two mentors from Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital’s Childbirth Education Program to help her with the project. Rodriguez began wearing her homemade, basketball-sized, prosthetic belly to school after spring break. Before that, she wore baggy sweaters and sweat shirts to conceal her faux pregnancy. Her supposed due date was July 27, not quite two months after graduation. Rodriguez and her boyfriend, 20-year-old Jorge Orozco, met at the homecoming game when she was
a freshman and he was a senior. They started dating just over three years ago. When Rodriguez told him her plan, “I thought she was nuts,” the 2009 Toppenish High School graduate said. “I thought I was going to end up getting into problems with her brothers. I didn’t really want to get into problems with anybody.” “I was doing it for her,” he says, adding, “My parents thought it was going to be a boy.” Rodriguez — who has a grade-point average of 3.8 — came up with the idea during her sophomore year Advanced Placement biology class with Shawn Myers. She’s in his anatomy class this year. “You saw the side comments and the looks at her stomach,” says Myers, who says he wasn’t disappointed — “just concerned” — when she told him she was pregnant. He says he wondered: “How are we going to take all of the potential that’s in this girl and make sure it manifests itself and not let this define who she is and let it be a roadblock to what she wants to accomplish?” It’s a question Hispanic teens are more likely to face than white teens, Rodriguez found in her research. Black and Hispanic teens continue to have higher pregnancy rates than white teens. And most teens at Toppenish High School — about 85 percent — are Hispanic, Yakima Herald-Republic reported. Rodriguez plans to attend Columbia Basin College to study social work or sociology in the fall. And, she said, “I’m not planning to have a child until after I graduate.”

Celtics in control all the way, take 3-0 series lead over Knicks with 113-96 win
NEW YORK (AP) — No fantastic finish needed for the Boston Celtics this time. They simply spoiled Madison Square Garden’s postseason homecoming party right from the start. Paul Pierce scored 38 points, Ray Allen added 32, and Rajon Rondo had a Celtics’ playoff-record 20 assists as Boston beat the New York Knicks 113-96 on Friday night to take a 3-0 in their first-round playoff series. Rondo had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who pulled out two close games in Boston but never trailed in this one, dominating the first playoff game at Madison Square Garden in seven years. They will go for the sweep Sunday afternoon, and no NBA team has ever lost a series after winning the
first three games. Boston coach Doc Rivers said he rarely talks to his team about the crowd environment, but the former Knicks player made an exception Friday knowing the stage. “My main concern is this was not entertainment coming in here today. This was a competition and I thought we came with that mentality,” Rivers said. After winning the two games in Boston despite trailing in the final half-minute of both, the Celtics scored the first nine points of this one and never really let it get much closer. “You come out and you hit them first. You don’t give the crowd a reason to get involved. That was big, when we came out with that run to start the game. We were comfortable from there on out,” Pierce said.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF LACONIA
Carmelo Anthony had 15 points and 11 rebounds but shot 4 for 16 for the Knicks, who were booed as they walked off the court trailing by 23 points after three quarters. “You can’t give them that big an opening that they can smell blood,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said. Exactly 10 years to the day since their last home playoff victory, the Knicks were outclassed in the same way they have been so many times in their forgettable decade since. With Chauncey Billups sidelined again with a knee injury, Amare Stoudemire limited by his back spasms and Anthony unable to duplicate his 42-point performance from Game 2, the Knicks lacked the firepower to match the defending Eastern Conference champions.

LACONIA — Michael Stanford, a former student at Lakes Region Community College and now an executive at Lowe’s, recently shared his success story with current LRCC Business students. Stanford gave an hour-long presentation to a Principles of Marketing class. Hired to work at the Lowe’s Gilford store when he was a student at LRCC in 2008, Stanford is currently assistant store manager at the Hadley, MA store. He has continued his education while progressing in the multi-billion dollar international corporation having earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree. He hopes to begin a doctoral program in the fall. “It was great to hear from a successful businessperson about real-world opportunities today,” said Jessica Enright, a Business Management honor student at LRCC. “Mr. Stanford knows the business incredibly well and his goal of obtaining his own store within five years of starting at Gilford is quite impressive.”

By Holiday Mathis say you are what you believe. But on days like today, when your mind is so open that you could believe everything just as easily as you could believe nothing, you realize that who you are goes deeper than the mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because what you have is so desirable, it needs to be protected. This takes time and energy. Is it worth it? The same assets that put you in a sticky situation will get you out of it, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will be at your best today. You’ll present yourself in a way that’s unexpected. You’ll turn heads and make people smile, laugh and think. The world is more exciting because you’re in it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even when fashion is at its most beautiful, it still must change. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fashion. A special relationship is like this now, too. What makes it so lovely is that you know it can’t stay this way forever. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your face is like a billboard for your emotions. You won’t be able to hide your feelings or play it “cool,” so you may as well go the opposite way and express the truth. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 23). You have the ability to make huge amounts of money this year, though this is not inevitable. Much depends on aligning your interests and ridding yourself of conflicting values and goals. May features a stylish new look. June is your chance to travel. Someone commits to you in July. October features a home investment. Leo and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 31, 24, 43 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s like the right and left sides of your brain are having a ping-pong match, as your day’s work requires both creativity and logic. Write down your ideas. You’re on a hot streak. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Where three or more people are assembled, there will be politics. Instead of worrying about how this will play out, you get into the spirit of it and make sure it works in your favor. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Remember that no one is above human nature, and expect to make a few mistakes. Keep going when you do. Affirm to yourself: I am the pure, refined essence of awesome. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like to have a choice, but you also want to have things narrowed down a bit. It’s easier to choose from three than from 103. Someone in the middle who knows you well will make life easier for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It will be important to get in touch with people you know and like. If it’s difficult to do so, it’s a sign that your system of organization is off. This is the moment to get a better one. Virgo can help. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be trusted with critical information. You know what to tell and what not to tell. Your savvy day-to-day dealings will be noticed by the one you want to impress. You are earning a position of power. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe you’re not prepared. Or maybe you’re just prepared for the wrong thing. Either way, it’s just the kind of glitch that brings out your best. You’ll be amazed at your own ingenuity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, April 23, the 113th day of 2011. There are 252 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 23, 1616, English poet and dramatist William Shakespeare, 52, died on what has been traditionally regarded as the anniversary of his birth in 1564. On this date: In 1789, President-elect George Washington moved into the first executive mansion, the Franklin House, in New York. In 1791, the 15th president of the United States, James Buchanan, was born in Franklin County, Pa. In 1896, the Vitascope system for projecting movies onto a screen was publicly demonstrated in New York City. In 1910, former President Theodore Roosevelt delivered his famous “Man in the Arena” speech at the Sorbonne in Paris. In 1954, Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves hit the first of his record 755 majorleague home runs, in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. (The Braves won, 7-5.) In 1961, Judy Garland performed her legendary concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall. In 1968, student protesters began occupying buildings on the campus of Columbia University in New York; police put down the protests a week later. In 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death for assassinating New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. One year ago: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the nation’s toughest illegal immigration law, saying “decades of inaction and misguided policy” had created a “dangerous and unacceptable situation”; opponents said the law would encourage discrimination against Hispanics.

GILFORD — Thirteen Granite State students have received prestigious national honors for their outstanding artwork through the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The 88-year-old national program recognizes outstanding creative teenagers and offers scholarship opportunities for graduating high school seniors. The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, which administers the awards, will honor the students at a special ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York City on May 31. Selected award-winning art and writing will also be exhibited at the World Financial Center Courtyard Gallery in Lower Manhattan from June 1 – 19. New York City Mayor Bloomberg has declared May 31st the official Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Day and the top of the Empire State Building will be lit gold in honor of the students’ achievements. This year’s award recipients are Tesia Whittier, Grade 12, Bishop Guertin High School; Jess Rau, Grade 12, Campbell High School; Emma Johnson, Grade 12, Dover High School; Peter McLean, Grade 11, The Dublin School; Katie Laurent, Grade 12, Gilford High School; Brandon Ferroli, Grade 10, John Stark Regional High School; Mina Hibino, Grade 11, Keene High School; Aya Peters, Grade 12, Phillips Exeter Academy; Max Norton, Grade 12, Pinkerton Academy, Rachael Ready, Grade 10, Pinkerton Academy; Rebecca Upham-Davis, Grade 11, Pinkerton Academy; Marie Palaima, Grade 12, Spaulding High School; Megan Hopkins, Grade 12, Winnacun-
net High School. These students join the ranks of some of our country’s most revered artists and writers who have received Scholastic Art & Writing Awards when they were high school, including Robert Redford, Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, John Lithgow, Joyce Carol Oates, John Baldesarri, Philip Pearlstein, Zac Posen, Sylvia Plath, Richard Avedon, Robert Indiana, and Abdi Farah (winner of the Bravo reality show Work of Art: The Next Great Artist). The annual Awards competition begins locally as students in grades 7-12 submit works of art and writing to their local affiliates, which are evaluated by a panel of jurors comprised of artists, educators and other arts professionals. Works are judged on originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal vision and those receiving top honors are then submitted for national adjudication. Notable past and current national jurors include Robert Frost, Chuck Paluhniak, Gary Panter, Frank McCourt, Judy Blume, Billy Collins, Peggy Noonan, William Saroyan, KiKi Smith, and Lesley Stahl. Since 1923, the Awards have recognized more than 13 million students and made available over $25 million in scholarships. They continue to be the longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens and the largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers. For more information, e-mail Scott Chatfield, administrator, at chatart@comcast.net or visit www. artandwriting.org.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I took care of my grandson three days a week for the first two years of his life. He is now 3, and I have not been allowed to see him for nearly a year because I noticed clear evidence of sexual abuse and told my son. I took my observations to many professionals, including pediatricians, therapists, Child Protective Services, a family law attorney and even therapists who treat perpetrators. They all agreed there was abuse. My daughter-in-law has a history of dysfunction. She was diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome, which means she makes up stories to get attention. My son is depressed, drinks too much and is a workaholic who is seldom home. I had no way to get a witness or to somehow record the behavior proving my grandson was being abused. The result is, no one can do anything except slowly build a case so that if future reports come in from teachers or doctors, there will be a record. The tragedy is that the abuse has to continue for many more years before there might be enough evidence to take action. There is now a second child, but I’ve not been allowed to see him. I keep encouraging my son to figure this out and seek help. He refuses to believe any of it and demonizes me for “lying.” I’ve been told there is nothing else I can do, but am hoping you or your readers have suggestions. It is a very wrong world when this cannot be stopped. -- Northern California Dear California: If your grandson regularly sees a pediatrician, any sexual abuse should be noted and reported. We are surprised this hasn’t happened and worry that perhaps you are misinterpreting the signs. Please contact stopitnow.org for more information and assistance. If you are certain there is abuse, we urge you to find a way to get back into your son’s good graces so you will be in a position to help those children. Say you’re sorry. Beg for forgiveness. Whatever it takes.
Those boys need someone to watch out for them. Dear Annie: My husband is 55 years old and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes six years ago. In addition, he suffers from high blood pressure and high cholesterol. His doctor prescribed oral medications and suggested he follow a low-carb diet. My husband has paid no attention whatsoever to his doctor’s advice. He eats fast food at least once a day. He dislikes vegetables and instead eats rice and potatoes, adding excessive amounts of salt and butter. He also snacks on sugary treats with no regard to the effect they have on his blood sugar levels. Worse, he is lax about taking his medications. I am having a tough time watching helplessly as my husband slowly commits suicide. He ignores my concerns. Any advice? -- Concerned Wife Dear Wife: There isn’t much you can do about someone who insists on making unhealthy choices. Your husband could be depressed, or he may need a diet that gives him different options. Talk to his doctor. See a nutritionist. Try to get Hubby to take romantic walks with you. And contact the American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org) for online support. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Lucky but Not Happy,” who married her husband for stability, but is no longer content because there is no passion. Whatever happened to marriage vows? Did she not say “for better or worse”? What would happen if the tables were turned and she became ill and could no longer perform in the bedroom? Would it be OK if her husband found something “better”? I am so tired of people getting divorced simply because they are bored with their spouse. Too bad. Unless there is abuse or other untenable circumstances, you made a lifetime commitment. People need to start keeping their promises, or they are meaningless. -- In It Till the End

Laconia students earn awards at National History Day state-level competition LACONIA — Middle School and High School students were recently honored with awards at the annual National History Day state-level competition held at Plymouth State University. Under the guidance of teacher and mentor Carleen Steckert, students researched and worked throughout the summer and after school on the theme “Debate and Diplomacy.” “It was exciting to see high school students, who first experienced National History Day competition under Mrs. Steckert’s tutelage at LMS, continue their involvement in this rigorous academic program,” said LMS Principal Jim McCollum. “It is with great pride that I report that this year every Laconia student and/or team who entered the state level competition came home with
an earned reward,” added McCollum. “This is especially exciting in that the level of competition has increased over the last few years.” The following Laconia students achieved performance recognition at the Junior Level: Individual Exhibit Troy Harper, 1st Place; Group Exhibit - Katie Fecteau and Monica Pesa, 1st Place, Adasha Santos and Brittany Freeman, 2nd Place; Group Performance - Alana Persson, Emily Paronto, Gabrielle Elumba, Mary Santos, Lily Chanthasak, 3rd Place; Documentary - Erin Cashman, Meghan Doherty, Emily Bordeau, 3rd Place. Awards given at the Senior Level: Individual Exhibit - Elizabeth Fortson, 1st Place; Individual Performance - Kaela Sweetland, 2nd Place. The next level of competition is Nationals in Maryland.
