Boys & Girls Club finds new, temp home in Federal Bldg.

LACONIA — Come June, the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region will have a new home at the former Federal Building on North Main Street, where it will share space with Lakes Region Community Services, which acquired the building from the Uncle Sam last year.

Established in 1999, the Boys and Girls Club operated from the Community Center until 2007 see CLUB page 8

Engine #4 said to be a disaster, unfit for the road; Gilford Fire Engineers will ask selectmen to seek emergency town meeting

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD – One of the town’s fire engines is no longer safe to drive, prompting the Board of Fire Engineers to meet with selectmen tonight to discuss how to deal with the development.

In March, residents, by a vote of 905709, turned down the Fire Department’s request to spend $450,000 to replace the 25-year-old engine in question.

The Board of Selectmen initially sup-

‘I truly fault the selectmen for this mess’ — Bill Akerley

ported the purchase, but later reversed course, and a divided Budget Committee failed to support it on a 6-6 tie vote.

“We gambled that we could get another year out of the truck,” Selectmen Chairman Jack O’Brien said Tuesday. “My gamble wasn’t a good one.”

He said the truck has been “ruled off the road”

by the state. The vehicle has serious structural problems, including the brakes. He also said that the water pump is inoperable.

Board of Fire Engineers Chairman Bill Akerley said the cost to replace the pump alone would be $35,000. All told, the cost to make the truck serviceable and road see FIRe enGIne page 8

LACONIA — “Can you come up with a plan to reduce crime?” Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) asked Police Chris Adams, who stressed the persistently high rates of crime against persons and property while presenting his budget to the City Council Monday evening.

“Absolutely,” Adams replied.

Earlier this year the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies reported that between 2006 and 2010 the city posted the highest rate of property crime and second highest rate of violent crime among the 28 municipalities in the state with 10,000 or more residents.

The crime rates represent the average number of offenses per capita or per 100,000 people during the five year period. The violent crime rate includes murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Laconia’s violent see CRIMe page 9

Apple sells 35M iPhones in 2nd quarter

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple Inc., the world’s most valuable company, trumped skeptics once again by reporting blowout iPhone sales.

Apple says it sold 35 million iPhones in the January-to-March quarter, almost twice as many as it sold a year ago and above analyst expectations.

Apple’s stock was down 2 percent at the close of regular trading, as investors believed phone companies had reined in iPhone sales.

In extended trading, the stock rallied $43.83, or 7.8 percent, to $604.11.

Net income in the company’s fiscal second quarter was $11.6 billion, or $12.30 per share. That was nearly double the net income of $6 billion, or $6.40 per share, a year ago.

Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting earnings of $10.07 per share for the latest quarter, Apple’s fiscal second.

Revenue was $39.2 billion, up 59 percent from a year ago. Analysts were expecting $37 billion.

IPad sales came in below analyst expectasee APPLE page 17

Obama courts college students with push for low-rate loans CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama went after the college vote Tuesday, pitching cheaper student loans as he courted the one age group where he has a decided advantage over Republican rival Mitt Romney. The twist? Romney, too, has endorsed the idea, though it’s unclear whether deficit-leery Republicans in Congress will go along.

In the race for the White House, both the Obama and Romney campaigns see huge opportunities to court younger voters. This

week, their efforts are focused on the millions of students — and their parents — who are grappling with college costs at a time when such debt has grown so staggering it exceeds the totals for credit cards or auto loans.

Trying to make it personal, Obama told students at the University of North Carolina that he and first lady Michelle Obama had “been in your shoes” and didn’t pay off their student loans until eight years ago.

“I didn’t just read about this. I didn’t just

get some talking points about this. I didn’t just get a policy briefing on this,” Obama said. “We didn’t come from wealthy families. When we graduated from college and law school, we had a mountain of debt.

When we married, we got poor together.”

Obama’s emphasis on his personal experience set up a contrast with Romney, whose father was a wealthy auto executive.

It’s a point the president is sure to return to during this summer’s campaigning. see OBAMA page 5

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Federal prosecutors brought the first criminal charges Tuesday in the Gulf oil spill, accusing a former BP engineer of deleting more than 300 text messages that indicated the blown-out well was spewing far more crude than the company was telling the public at the time.

Two years and four days after the drilling-rig explosion that set off the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, Kurt Mix, 50, of Katy, Texas, was arrested and charged

with two counts of obstruction of justice for allegedly destroying evidence.

His attorney, Joan McPhee, issued a statement Tuesday evening describing the charges as misguided and that she is confident Mix will be exonerated.

“The government says he intentionally deleted text messages from his phone, but the content of those messages still resides in thousands of emails, text messages and other documents that he saved,” she said. “Indeed,

the emails that Kurt preserved include the very ones highlighted by the government.”

The U.S. Justice Department made it clear that the investigation is still going on and suggested that more people could be arrested. In a statement, Attorney General Eric Holder said prosecutors “will hold accountable those who violated the law in connection with the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.” see next page

CONCORD (AP) — On the eve of Wednesday’s House vote, Gov. John Lynch says he will veto a bill to legalize home cultivation of marijuana for medical purposes in New Hampshire.

The Senate-passed bill would allow patients with debilitating medical condi-

tions or the patient’s designated caretaker to cultivate and possess up to six ounces of marijuana, four mature plants and 12 seedlings at a registered location.

Lynch spokesman James Richardson said Tuesday that Lynch will veto the bill if it reaches his desk. Richardson said Lynch

has compassion for people who believe in marijuana’s benefits but is concerned about a lack of control over its distribution.

Lynch vetoed a medical marijuana bill in 2009. The House voted to pass it over his veto but it fell two votes short in the Senate.

Portsmouth worker dies in brewery accident

PORTSMOUTH (AP) — A worker died of injuries suffered when a beer keg exploded at the Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth, N.H. Nancy Notis of Portsmouth Regional Hospital confirmed the worker died Tuesday.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the death.

Assistant Fire Chief Steve Achilles said the worker, whose name has not been released, was found unresponsive in the loading dock area shortly after 7 a.m.

He said the man had been filling kegs with air as part of a cleaning process that removes residual beer from them when one exploded.

Achilles said the worker suffered chest and head injuries.

Company President Andy Thomas said Redhook is doing everything in its power to understand the circumstances surrounding the accident, and has closed down all nonessential operations, including the pub. from preceding page Federal investigators have been looking into the causes of the blowout and the actions of managers, engineers and rig workers at BP and its subcontractors Halliburton and Transocean in the days and hours before the April 20, 2010, explosion.

But the case against Mix focuses only on the aftermath of the blast, when BP scrambled for weeks to plug the leak.

Even then, the charges are not really about the disaster itself, but about an alleged attempt to thwart the investigation into it.

In court papers, the FBI said one of the areas under investigation is whether the oil company intentionally lowballed the amount of crude spewing from the well.

In outlining the charges, the government suggested Mix knew the rate of flow from the busted well was much greater than the company publicly acknowledged.

Gilford High robotics team off to world championships in St. Louis

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Yesterday, members of the Gilford High School Robotics Team flew to St. Louis, Mo., where they will participate in the 2012 FIRST Robotics Championship. While the experience is nothing short of a dream come true for the team, its captains say the team had already changed their lives before the regional competition they won in Manchester.

Gilford has had a robotics team for seven years.

“Seeing how far we’ve advanced in that time is overwhelming,” said Evan Andrews, a senior and captain. Never before had the team even progressed as far as the final round of the regional competition held in Manchester. This year, impressed by their robot’s maneuverability and defensive chops, one of the highest-scoring teams picked Gilford as an ally for the final round.

Their robot was the result of weeks of furious creation, started with the release of this year’s unique challenge. The challenge turned out to be a kind of robotic basketball, where each team would ally with two others to form three-robot teams, which would then compete against other alliances in a game reminiscent of basketball. The games has periods where the robots act autonomously and other times when team members control the robots remotely.

Gilford’s robot proved to be uncommonly good at defense. So, when it was picked as an ally by one of the most prolifically offensive teams, captain Billy Hunt scrambled during a break to re-program the robot on the fly, eliminating all offensive movements so that, during the autonomous mode, Gilford’s robot would focus solely on defense so its allies could focus on their areas of forté.

It turned out to be a successful strategy and helped Gilford’s alliance score more points than their opponents, securing a berth at the event held this week at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, where they will compete against hundreds of the best robotics teams from around the world.

The Gilford High School robotics team is in St. Louis this week for the world-wide championship, a first for the team. Captains Billy Hunt, Emily Arnold, Bryson Eddy, Evan Andrews and Christian Eldridge say that being a part of the team has been a transformative experience.

The win also gave team members such as Billy Hunt, who joined the team while he was still a middle schooler, an extended stay on Cloud Nine.

“After five years of not winning anything, I was excited to just get into the finals,” he said.

Before they could play the game, though, the team needed a robot. Its creation included proficiency in electronic and mechanical engineering, computer programming, welding, manufacturing and machin-

ing. All of those tasks were fulfilled by various of the 22 team members, including freshmen who might not be versed in so much as a socket wrench when they joined the team. A good team, they found, needs to be adept at guiding the newcomers as well as with the technical aspects of the challenge.

“I’ve always felt that if we had the right group and the right strategy, we had a chance,” said Hunt. “We see next page

worked really well together this year.”

“Everyone was always looking to do something this year, everyone wanted to be part of the success that we wanted to have,” said Andrews.

The three days of championship competition begin tomorrow and will be streamed live. Visit www. usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/first-championship for a link to video streaming of the event.

Regardless of the team’s performance at the championship, captains say joining the team has been a transformative experience.

Emily Arnold, a junior and a captain, joined the team as a freshman. “I was brought in here by friends, made friends, and now we’re going to worlds. It’s still kind of surreal,” she said. “I learned skills that you can’t learn anywhere else,” she said.

For example, she now knows how to TIG weld, something not many female high schoolers can do. “I’ve gained confidence,” she said. Arnold hopes to study medicine after high school.

Another junior and captain, Christian Eldridge, said the team “gives people our age the realization they can do something, the can do something in the world... It’s a confidence building thing. The whole concept is to inspire interested in science and engineering.”

Byson Eddy is a senior who plans to pursue a career in agriculture. “For me, FIRST has something for everyone.” Eddy proved his worth to the team as its production manager and expert machinist. After working with the robot challenges, he feels confident that he can improvise solutions to overcome whatever obstacles he’ll face as a farmer. “Problem solvOBAMA from page 2 Late Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., introduced legislation that would keep the interest rate for subsidized loans for poorer and middle-class students at their current level for another year at a cost of $5.9 billion. The timing is important because the rate will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1 without intervention by Congress, an expiration date chosen in 2007 when a Democratic Congress voted to chop the rate in half.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has estimated about 15 percent of Americans, or 37 million

ing – that’s what it comes down to.”

For Hunt, who was home-schooled, the robotics team played a large role in his past few years.

“I graduated early, it wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the robotics team,” he said. After joining in his middle school years, Hunt was inspired to push himself into advanced classes at a young age. At 16, he founded a limited liability corporation and sold robotics units. He credits that business to FIRST, as well as a full-boat scholarship to study at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He noted that all of those things occurred prior to Gilford’s recent success at the regional competition.

“I think if anyone can take anything away from this, I would like people to know that it’s not about winning, it’s the existence of the team that matters,” Hunt said. Everyone of them would love to win – or even finish among the top half of competitors. Whatever happens at the championship, they feel they’ve already acheived something significant. “That’s what I’d like people to keep in mind.”

Community support The opportunity to travel to St. Louis was something the team only dreamed of – they certainly didn’t plan for the possibility. The good news came with a daunting challenge, to raise about $35,000 for travel expenses so that each member who wanted to attend could regardless of financial constraints.

Team coaches said there were more than 100 cards in the mail to thank donors. Special gratitude was due to Gilford Rotary Club, the town of Gilford, T-Bones and Cactus Jack’s, BAE Systems, Meredith Village Savings Bank and SAIC. people, have outstanding student loan debt. The bank puts the total at $870 billion, though other estimates have reached $1 trillion. About two-thirds of student loan debt is held by people under 30.

Members of both parties are assessing ways to cover the costs and then gain the votes in the House and Senate. Both parties have a political incentive to keep the rates as they are.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday, “I don’t think anybody believes this interest rate ought to be allowed to rise.” He added, “The question is how do you pay for it, how long do you do the extension.”

Let the good times roll With the number of Secret Service members and agents caught up in the partying-with-prostitutes scandal in Cartagena now at a dozen, and six already gone, how much wider and deeper does this go?

No one can take pleasure in seeing Secret Service agents — whose deserved reputation is that they will “take a bullet” for the president, his family and all whom they protect — shamed and disgraced. Yet one would have to be naive to believe this was some isolated incident. No sooner was the first day’s work done in Cartagena than 20 hookers were trooping into the hotel rooms of SS agents, supervisors and members of the military advance team.

And Sen. Charles Grassley asks a relevant question. As the Secret Service travel and work in close contact with the White House Advance Office and White House Communications Agency, was the Obama staff oblivious to this misconduct? If they were aware of it, did no one report it to the White House chief of staff?

Hostile intelligence services often use “honey traps” to ensnare U.S. diplomats and journalists. Thus this hookers-and-agents scandal is no laughing matter. And it hit just as we learned that the General Services Administration, purchasing agent for the U.S. government, shelled out $823,000 on a party for 300 employees at a casino-spa in Las Vegas, where the hired entertainment included a mind reader, a clown and a $75,000 bicycle-building exercise.

Jeff Neeley, the GSA western regional commissioner, invoked the Fifth Amendment rather than testify to Congress about what is now being investigated as criminal misconduct.

President Obama’s appointee to head GSA, Martha Johnson, has resigned.

Infinitely larger in terms of the tax dollars looted or lost is the Solyndra scandal, where a green technology company favored by the White House went belly up after receiving an endorsement visit from Obama and an astonishing half-billion dollars in federal loan guarantees.

These events all point to a culture of entitlement born of a belief that now that the Democratic Party, the Party of Government, is again running the government, we can “let the good times roll” once more.

And so we see President Obama for six months literally campaigning on the public dime. Not a day seems to pass that he is not helicoptering off the White House lawn on Marine One to Andrews Air Force Base to board Air Force One to fly to some swing state, while his staff finds an official cover event so the White House can charge most of the trip to taxpayers. Has any other president spent so many days campaigning, half a year and a year before the traditional Labor Day start of the election season, or used tax dollars

so flagrantly to buy re-election?

The sense of entitlement appears to extend to the Obama family.

In 2010, at the bottom of the Great Recession, Michelle Obama, accompanied by daughter Sasha and friends, took Air force Two to Spain for a lavish vacation. The first lady paid for her stay at a five-star hotel in Marbella, but the cost of flying her there and moving her about, with scores of Secret Service agents, had to run into the millions. And the trip came at a time when President Obama was instructing the nation on the need to sacrifice and the number of Americans on food stamps was setting a new record every month.

How many so-called “1-percenters” project a lifestyle as lavish?

Last December, flying out of the District of Columbia in separate planes, the first couple took a twoweek Christmas vacation at a resort in Hawaii, the taxpayers’ cost of which has been estimated at $4-million. Winters in Hawaii, summers in the Vineyard, and with it all subsidized by taxpayers? What kind of example is this? Where is the spirit of sacrifice here?

Is this the same president who talks about having inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s?

Lately, we learned that Leon Panetta, in the 10 months he has been secretary of defense, has spent $860,000 of taxpayers’ money on 27 separate trips to his home in Monterey, Calif. Curing Leon of his homesickness is getting expensive.

What all of the above reveals is how the Party of Government views the government. They see its perks, privileges and power as their entitlements, their inheritance, their patrimony.

And there is some truth to that.

After all, the bureaucracy was built up in the New Deal and Great Society, and remains dyed-in-the-wool Democratic.

Even when the GOP wins the White House, the conservatives are outsiders in this city. Even when Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan won their 49-state landslides, neither came even close to carrying Washington, D.C., the sole Electoral College precinct that has never gone Republican.

While John McCain lost the nation by eight points to Obama, he lost Washington, D.C., by 86 points.

This is Obama’s town. He owns it.

But if a noxious aroma of selfindulgence and corruption is arising from it, it is Obama’s problem, and it is no longer a small one.

(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)

LETTERS Doesn’t Laconia have a better use for $2.16-million than land?

To the editor, Just a few reasons I opposed making an offer to buy the prison property at Monday’s council meeting: Is this the time to say we have money to spend on a dream when we have recently raised property taxes, and will probably being do so this budget, raised sewer rates, imposed impact fees, and are restricting rubbish pickup?

I always use a criteria for spending.

I ask myself “Is it needed”. “Will the city be harmed if we don’t spend the money”. And, “Is the safety of the city at risk if we don’t buy it?” I don’t see affirmative answers to any of these.

Then, we can ask are there other projects out there that would be more beneficial to the city. At Monday’s meeting with the Police Department and their presentation of their budget, it was noted by the chief that in order to bring safety to our city from drug dealers and the crime they bring into the city they would need two more drug officers. We have one at the present time. All of the councilors agreed

the city should do something to help the Police Department and promised to review plan by the chief. Wouldn’t this be a better use of $2.16-million than a piece of land? There has been no plan for the use of this property when we buy it. The city already owns $89-million worth of property, on which we are not collecting taxes.

Because we cannot even apply for Brownsfield funds to clean up the environmental problems until we own it, we will be buying property without knowing what the additional costs might be. It was my understanding that before we would enter into this purchase, we would protect the city, legally, from contaminants exposure.

Finally, the prison property is a wonderful piece of real estate. Today, with property assessments dropping to a record low, this property would have been snapped up by smart developers the minute the state expressed interest in selling it. No one came forward. Why? Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4, Laconia

Obama will keep our spirits high, hoping for a better tomorrow To the editor, Since when have we become the land of the whining? Since when have we forgotten to be the United States of America? Since when is it okay to tell the President of the USA to start packing.

A couple of years ago I was proudly celebrating the day our president was elected; now I’m strongly fighting for him to get re-elected while listening to the media fight on which candidate they think is best. I challenge you the reader to find out for yourself: Are you a student benefiting from Pell Grants? Then Obama is your guy.

Are you a lady who enjoys her independence? Then Obama is your guy.

Are you senior citizen who worked hard your whole life so that someone can give away your future? Obama won’t let that happen. Are you a mom or a dad who works tirelessly so your kids can have what you didn’t but people threaten your right to work?

Then Obama is your guy.

If you like a guy who doesn’t need to put fear in order to educate the public

environment, then Obama is the guy.

I know what it’s like to work so hard and rhetoric get in the media and collapse what you’ve worked so hard for.

Don’t allow this to happen to Obama.

He has worked great for our safety by eliminating the world’s greatest threat — Osama bin Laden. He has managed to get us more jobs, and a growing and hopeful economy. Nothing in life is ever certain. Why would we vote for Romney when he is promising certainty but has failed to prove he can do anything but be out of touch with the American people while rebuilding a perfectly built home for his taste. Obama has been rebuilding our country and working with Congress and the Senate to get our country on track.

This coming election you will be both voting for someone who will only benefit the 1-percent and keep luxury alive or vote for someone who will keep our spirits high and hoping for a better tomorrow. You have the final say, who is your guy?

Barack H. Obama is my guy.

LETTERS Voter participation at our Town Meeting varied from 4% to 6%

To copy other banks with names like Bank of America is ridiculous

To the editor, Senate Bill 2 will be up for vote on the Sanbornton ballot on May 8. Many like the traditional town meeting form of government where all of the budget issues and other articles are brought before the people for discussion and at the same time voted on either by ballot or by show of hands.

However, at the 2011 Town Meeting only 144 citizens voted on the first article and 86 voted on the final article. The 144 votes represent 6-percent of the 2,333 registered voters and the 86 votes are equal to less than 4-percent. There are dollar values linked to most of the articles which affect your annual tax bill.

SB-2 will not abolish Sanbornton’s Town Meeting tradition. The difference between the traditional town meeting and SB-2 is the title. The term town meeting would now be known as Deliberative Session. It is at this Deliberative Session that all articles will be presented and openly discussed. However, no votes would be cast until an official ballot vote is cast 30 or so days later at the polls.

I believe the SB-2 process will be a great benefit to the taxpayers of Sanbornton for the following reasons: — Under SB- 2 we still have a forum allowing for open discussion of all issues with the exception of the pressure to vote that evening without full consideration. Instead the voters will have a 30 day period in which to discuss and/or debate the issues of concerns with family, friends and/or neighbors. This could be unifying and

To the editor, I’m writing in regards to the name change of Laconia Savings Bank to the Bank of New Hampshire. A proud name Laconia Savings has been, so to change it to a generic name like the Bank of N.H., to copy other banks like Bank of America, TD North, etc., is ridiculous! A sample of 600 people isn’t a sample in my mind of polling people. To waste money for signs,

empowering.

— Under SB -2 the sponsors of the articles presented at the Deliberative Session bear the burden of convincing citizens on the merits of the article presented for the official ballot vote.

— Under SB-2 if you are elderly, infirm, travel as a result of your employment or are on a planned vacation you can request an absentee ballot and proceed to participate in the governance of the community in which you live.

— Under SB- 2’s ballot vote, the probability of voter participation would increase from the 515 of the 2333 registered voters in 2011 to hopefully 800-1200 or maybe even more as was the experience in communities who voted in SB-2 as their new process for governing. As an aside, if 600 or more citizens showed up for Town Meeting to vote they would not have access to the meeting. SB-2 would make it possible for 100-percent of 2333 registered voters to cast their vote if they chose.

Change is not always welcome — but with the passage of SB-2 more citizens will be able take part in the governing of our town as originally formed. It is time for Sanbornton to re-empower the hard working taxpayers who are the only source of revenue required to fund the operation of our town government. Please VOTE YES for SB-2 on May 8. If passed there will be a new beginning for Sanbornton in 2013.

Reminder: about half the children killed in abortions are female To the editor, Just a gentle reminder about life. A baby has life as soon as it is conceived.

It is a living, growing human being, a person. An abortion ends that life. Some argue that pro-life activists are attempting to control women. Let us just say that anyone advocating pro-choice is also making a statement on control of another person’s life, the life of the baby.

A note to the pro-choicer: as for controlling women, approximately half

the children killed in abortions are female, and these baby girls along with baby boys are murdered in abortions. Isn’t the killing of babies control? The pro-life, pro-choice issue isn’t really a political or religious or man vs woman issue. It is about life, period.

Would one choose to kill an unborn baby or keep it, nurture it, and allow it to have its life?

Thank God there is another trusted local bank that is proud to keep its name.

Education is too sacred in our society to withhold aid to needy To the editor, Romney’s plan to gut the Department of Education is out of touch and could have a significant negative impact on thousands of children and families in the Granite State. For New Hampshire alone, the gutting of the Department of Education could put more than $185-million of education funding at risk per year.

Having three grandchildren pursue higher education, I am aware of the financial burden that is being placed

upon them. Thanks to President Obama’s Education Reform, my granddaughter received assistance which helped in decreasing the amount of loans she will have to pay back upon graduation. Education is too sacred within our society to withhold aid from those who cannot afford it.

It’s time for Mitt Romney to stop playing politics with our kids’ education.

FIRE ENGINE from page one worthy would be $60,000.

He said that the cost to replace the truck remains at $441,000 – essentially the $450,000 appropriation the voters rejected six weeks ago.

“No one is interested in saying, ‘I told you so,’ said Akerley, “But I truly fault the Board of Selectmen for this mess.”

He said that the close inspection of the truck’s pump on April 13 showed that the pump was so badly deteriorated that it could have blown up.

Further, the condition of the truck’s brake drums and brake canisters was so bad that the truck should not be on the road, “It’s not just the safety of the firefighters we’re concerned about, we’re also concerned about anyone else on the other side of the yellow line. … Something has to be done now – it’s too late,” he said.

O’Brien said that besides choosing the repair or replace the engine; the selectmen could decide that the department operate with one less fire engine.

Akerley said that the Fire Engineers position is that the truck needs to be replaced. Repairing the vehicle would be throwing good money after

bad, he said.

The truck – Engine 4 – is the second fire engine dispatched to the scene of a fire, traffic accident, or medical call.

O’Brien said that if the recommendation is to replace the engine this year, the town would have to petition the Superior Court for permission to hold an emergency Town Meeting to vote on a bond issue to fund the truck purchase.

Akerley and other fire apparatus professionals will make the presentation on the fire truck matter at tonight’s meeting which gets under way at 7 p.m. in Town Hall.

Akerley said that the truck was declared a road hazard on April 13 when it was taken to Lakes Region Fire Apparatus in Tamworth for an inspection of the engine’s water pump. Besides finding serious problems with the pump itself, it was also determined that the problems with the truck’s brakes made it unsafe to drive. An officer from state Highway Enforcement division was called and after inspecting the truck prohibited it from being driven. The truck was then towed back to Gilford.

Akerley said that assuming voters approve the purchase of a new truck

it would take 10 months before a new vehicle is delivered. Meanwhile, he said that department would have to rent a vehicle, possibly from a nearby department which has a similar vehicle in reserve status, or else from a commercial vendor. He said it was not reasonable for Gilford to rely entirely on additional mutual aid coverage to compensate for the Gilford department having one less fire engine.

Also on tonight’s selectmen’s agenda is whether the town will join a lawsuit filed Monday by the city of Manchester to stop implementation of the redistricting law for state House seats.

O’Brien said he was unsure what the selectmen’s decision would be but he did say that having the opportunity to become a party in an already-existing suit would prompt some serious discussion of the subject.

Gilford with 7,126 people, warrants slightly more than two seats on its own.

The redistricting plan adopted by the Legislature over the veto of Gov. John Lynch combines Meredith and Gilford, whose town lines meet in Lake Winnipesaukee south of Spindle Point, Stonedam Island, Meredith Neck and Bear Island, in one district where four representatives would be elected atlarge. Neither town would be assured of its own representation. All four reps could come from either town.

Gilford has been part of Belknap County House District 5 which encompasses Belmont, Alton, and Barnstead in addition to Gilford. The district has seven seats in the House.

Earlier this month Meredith selectmen were urged to join the suit by former long-time moderator Peter Millham.

DOLLY from page one where she was presented with a proclamation by Laconia Mayor Mike Seymour, who recalled that as a child he remembered seeing her dressed as the Easter bunny at the Double Decker.

Tanner said that her mother was really enjoying the day. ‘’She has always liked a good time and a good laugh.’’

Among her favorite sayings was “I’m not Mae West, but I do my best’’ and ‘’I’m all right, the world’s wrong.’’

French’s son, Larry, said that his mother especially enjoyed music and dancing and loved to dress up to go to dances. ‘’She was a good dancer. And she liked meeting people. She used to work in a gift shop at the Double Decker and lived in a mobile home behind it where she and my dad moved to in 1970,’’ French recalled. ‘’Dolly is a special lady. It is our pleasure to care for her here,’’ said Ann Kyle, activities director at the nursing home, who helped organize yesterday’s event along with members of French’s family.

Born to French-Canadian immigrants in Limestone, Maine, French’s family later moved to Cambridge, Mass. Her mother died of pneumonia when she was only 12, and her brother, Cliff, drowned at the age of 18.

Dolly married Francis Sampson and the couple had a daughter, Theresa, but he lost his life in an accident when he was only 21. Her sister Lou-

ise’s husband also died at an early age and she went to help her out with her four children in Farmington, where she worked in factories and would later meet and marry, Larry French.

The couple had two children, Elaine and Larry, and frequently hosted her nieces during the summer months with Dolly managing to convince each of one them that they were her favorite.

She also acquired a well-deserved reputation for her sewing, making dancing outfits, altar boys outfits and vestments, as well as wedding dresses and bridal party gowns. One year she made 80 dance costumes. And she would later make fun costumes for her grandchildren and developed a love for knitting.

Her husband was an avid fisherman who also played the piano and the organ and was an excellent singer as well as a dancer Larry recalled. ‘’We were very fortunate to grow up with two parents. We used to go out weekends for drives through the White Mountains and would fish a lot. But Mom didn’t fish. She tried it once but when dad cast the line the hook landed right between her eyes.’’ he remembers.

Relatives said that one thing that everyone recalls about Dolly was that she always enjoyed young children and was loved by them so much that one of her grandsons told her “Grammy when I grow up I’m gonna marry you.’’

CLUB from page one when it rented space across Union Avenue on the campus of Sacred Heart Church. In 2010, the club moved to Lakeport to space at Our Lady of the Lakes Church, which is now for sale, and last year sought to acquire the building on Fair Street that houses The Citizen, but failed to close the transaction.

Cheryl Avery, the director of the club, called the arrangement with Lakes Region Community Services “a very, very good first step. We are looking forward to return to a central location.”

She said that the move “will allow us to have a stronger presence in the community and further align ourselves with the work of other child and family organizations.” These include the Family Resource Center of Central New Hampshire operated by Lakes Region Community Services, which both Avery and Santaniello said offered opportunities

for “synergies.”

In particular, Avery expected the move to downtown would breathe fresh life into its program for teens, which suffered when the club moved to Lakeport.

“We have six to eight regular teen mentoring our younger kids, but being close to the middle school and high school will attract teens,” she said, adding that the club would begin offering movie nights and family dinners..

Santaniello said the club will occupy 1,850 square feet on the first floor of the Federal Building as well as share common spaces with Lakes Region Community Services. She said that the arrangement is “temporary for as long as they need it and there is not a lot of pressure.”

“We’re still working to finding a permanent home,” Avery said. “We have a facilities committee and the start of a trust fund. We want our own space, see next page

Council schedules May 14 public hearing on hike in dump tipping fees

New restrictions on weight & number of containers that will be picked up curbside won’t go into effect until fall

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The City Council this week scheduled a public hearing on May 14 to sound residents on proposals to raise tipping fees at the transfer station and limit trash collection at the curbside designed to boost recycling.

Currently it costs the city $83.40 a ton to truck and dispose of trash at Concord Regional Solid Waste Resource/Recovery Cooperative in Penacook. But, tipping fees at the transfer station range from $5 for loads less than one ton, to $10 for loads between one and two tons and to $30 a ton for loads of more than two tons. In other words, the city, alone among all the municipalities in the state, subsidizes the cost to private residents and commercial haulers of using the transfer station by between $53.40 and $78.40 a ton The Department of Public Works recommends adjusting the fees to match the costs in two annual increments. The fee for loads of up to 100 pounds, approximately the equivalent of five bags of household trash, would be $5. Beginning on July 1, 2012 the fee for loads of more than 100 pounds would rise to $60 a ton and on July 1, 2013 to $90 a ton.

The increase in fees is projected to reduce the cost to property taxpayers by approximately $200,000 in the first year and $400,000 by the second CRIME from page one crime rate of 319.9 was exceeded only by Manchester, with more than six times the population but is still 30-percent below the national average of 459.3.

The property crime rate includes burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft. At 4,273.2 the property crime rate in the city easily topped the list, with Lebanon trailing at 3,510.9, and was more than 30-percent above the national average of 3,225.1.

Commenting on the rankings, Adams told the councilors that “this is nothing new. It’s gone on for decades.”

He noted that “crime goes up and crime goes down” while acknowledging that “our numbers are high relative to our population.”

So far this year Adams said that aggravated assaults has declined 18-percent, but the simple assaults has jumped 23-percent while the number of all crimes against persons has risen 10-percent. Although property crime has climbed just 4-percent, Adams noted that burglary has increased 61-percent, shopliftings 44-percent and theft from buildings 43-percent while receiving stolen from preceding page especially space with a gym.”

Santaniello and Avery both anticipated the club would move to its new quarters before the schools let out for the summer in June.

year. At the same time, the higher fees would serve as an incentive to residents and businesses contracting with private haulers to reduce the volume of their solid waste by recycling a greater share of it.

The proposal to reduce the maximum weight and total number of containers placed at the curbside at both residential and commercial properties proved more controversial. The maximum weight of containers would be reduced from 60 pounds to 50 pounds. The number of containers at single and multi-family residences would be reduced from five to two per family while at commercial properties the number of containers would be reduced from 10 to seven. At properties serving both residential and commercial uses the total number of containers would be reduced from 15 to nine.

Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1) urged her colleagues not to impose the restrictions on July 1, but to defer them until October 1. She said that the council should afford seasonal home and business owners at the Weirs, many of whom are not aware of the changes in the offing, an opportunity to make the necessary adjustments and arrangements for handling their trash.

The council unanimously agreed to delay the implementation of limits on the weight and number of containers until October 1.

property has risen correspondingly by 31-percent.

A 30-percent decline in drug violations, Adams said, reflected the work of Detective Chris Noyes, the first and only officer assigned specifically to investigating drug trafficking in the city.

Describing substance abuse as “an epidemic,” Adams said that it is the source of a large share of the crime.

“Substance abuse is my number one priority,” he said.

Lipman noted that one officer was assigned to drug investigations and asked “what would the numbers look like if there were two? What could be accomplish with an investment in drug enforcement?”

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), who served with the department from 1976 to 1986, recalled that there were more officers then than now. Adams confirmed the department fielded 40 sworn officers in the 1980s and 38 today. “We’ve been playing catch-up,” he said.

However, Adams cautioned that “our (crime) numbers are not going to decrease overnight. It will take a lot of time to change our crime numbers.”

Furthermore, he reminded the council that “enforcement is an important part of the solution, but it’s not the only part. It’s going to take a lot more than the Police Department to solve the problem of substance abuse.”

“We need to put on a full-court press,”said Hamel, adding that “we don’t want Laconia to get a reputation see next page

Anderson wins national award for Gunstock book

By AdAm drApcho

GILFORD — Carol Anderson was among three New Hampshire authors honored with a 2012 Skade Award earlier this month. The award is given out by the International Skiing History Association for books on regional skiing history.

Anderson wrote “The History of Gunstock: Skiing in the Belknap Mountains,” published in 2011. Other 2012 Skade recipients were Meghan McCarthy McPhaul, who wrote “A History of Cannon Mountain: Trails, Tales and Skiing Legends,” and Jeffrey Leich, author of “Over the Headwall: A History of Skiing in Tuckerman Ravine.” The awards were pre-

sented at a ceremony on April 13 in Seattle, Wash.

“This is the highest honor a ski writer can receive, and I am deeply humbled to have been honored with ISHA’s Skade Award,” said Anderson, a Gilford resident who serves as president of the Gunstock Mountain Historical Preservation Society. “It took me by surprise since I was so focused on just documenting Gunstock’s history to make sure that the information wasn’t lost — I never anticipated winning an award. It is extremely rewarding, however, since the research and the writing of the book took five years.

I’m thrilled to have won this award, and I am just as happy to know that the story of Gunstock’s history is getting the attention is so rightly deserves.”

from preceding page tion as a place to buy drugs.” He referred to recent reports hat a local man was shot in Lawrence, Massachusetts, apparently when a drug deal soured.

“The time is right,” Adams declared, “for the com-

munity to come together and say we’re not going to have this in our community.” He readily agreed when Lipman suggested developing a plan for the Police Department, including recommendations for additional investment in personnel, with specific goals.

State denies Rte. 3 curb cut Rite Aid requested to enable building of new store next to Irving station

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Plans to build a Rite Aid Pharmacy on Rte. 25, just east of the junction with Meredith Bay Drive, between the Meredith Irving and Trinity Episcopal Church, stalled this week when the New Hampshire Department of Transportation denied a driveway permit for the project.

Rite Aid operates from space next door to Hannaford Supermarket at Meredith Bay Shops on the same roadway. In anticipation of the expansion of the supermarket into the space, Rite Aid plans to relocate to a 15,366-square-foot building on a 2.77acre lot about a quarter of a mile away, On behalf of Rite Aid, Newland Development Associates, LLC presented a conceptual plan to the Planning Board in December and returned in January with revised architectural and landscaping designs, but has not submitted a formal site plan pending a review of the traffic issues by the DOT. The lot lies on a slope near the foot of Meredith Hill, where another curb cut would have a significant impact on an already heavily travelled and frequently congested stretch of the highway.

As designed, the entrance to property would be at its northeast corner. Both the DOT and the Planning Board suggested that Rite Aid share the driveway with Meredith Irving to the west. While the developer agreed that a shared entrance represented the optimal solution, Rite Aid has no easement across the neighboring lot and Irving did not respond to overtures.

Failing a shared driveway, DOT recommended that the entrance to Rite Aid be located as far from the driveway to Irving as possible, which placed it at the northeast corner of the property. However, upon further review the DOT rejected that alternative.

Town Planner Angela LaBrecque said yesterday Newland Development Associates, who were scheduled to appear at the Planning Board last night, asked for the public hearing to be continued pending the outcome of further discussion with the DOT. Meanwhile, Meredith Crosspoint Shopping Center Holdings, LLC has applied to the Planning Board to demolish the space next door to Hannaford Supermarket occupied by Rite Aid and replace it with a reconfigured building of identical size — 8,192-square-feet — into which the grocery store would expand.

Government says transgender people protected from bias in workplace

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a first-of-its-kind ruling, the agency that enforces the nation’s job discrimination laws has ruled that transgender people are protected from bias in the workplace.

The decision late last week from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said that a refusal to hire or otherwise discriminate on the basis of gender identity is by definition sex discrimination under federal law.

While some federal courts have reached the same conclusion in recent years, employment law experts say the EEOC decision is groundbreaking because it sets a national standard of enforcement that offers employers clear guidance on the issue.

“This decision is important because the EEOC is the agency with lead authority to interpret and enforce the nation’s employment rights laws,” said Jennifer Pizer, legal director of the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy.

The case involved a California woman who claimed she was denied a contractor job with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after the contractor learned she had undergone a procedure to change her gender from a man to a woman.

Rep. Millham trying to interest Gilford residents in running for N.H. House GILFORD — Rep. Alida Hillham is hosting a Tuesday, May 1 meeting to provide information for town residents who might have an interest in serving in the N.H. House of Representatives. The meeting will be held at the Public Library at 5 p.m.

“Gilford needs candidates who will file to run for the House,” said Millham.

“It will be an opportunity for anyone interested to get an understanding of the requirements and responsibilities of being a representative.”

Effective with the November 2012 election, Gilford is now in a House district that shares four seats with Meredith. There is no requirement that any set number of these representatives reside in either town; they could all be from either Gilford or Meredith.

The plan the Legislature adopted to newly divide the state into House dis-

tricts that are based on 2010 census information is being challenged in court. Critics argue that it violates the N.H. Constitution by not guaranteeing that all towns that are are large enough to have a representative of their own in fact do so have.

A number of communities — as historically been the case — have been placed in multi-town districts where there is no guarantee they will have any representation at all.

Architects of the plan argue that it was statistically impossible to completely follow the state Constitution and still adhere to the federal constitutional principal of “one man, one vote”. The plan dictates that no single member of the House can represent a number of residents that is greater than a 5-percent deviation from the perfect size.

due to confusion about the state of the law.

“This is a confirmation that the courts are correct, so public and private employers coast to coast now have the benefit of the EEOC making this clear,” she said.

Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Washington-based Family Research Council, said the EEOC’s decision is misinterpreting Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. “’’Those who are discriminated against because they are transgender are not discriminated because they are male or female, it is because they are pretending to be the opposite of what they really are, which is quite a different matter,” he said.

Currently 16 states and the District of Columbia have laws prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity. Mark Snyder, a spokesman for the Transgender Law Center said that EEOC offices in the remaining states would now have to heed the new decision.

Federal employment discrimination laws cover private and public employers with 15 or more employees.

detective, initially applied for the position as a man and was told that she was qualified for the job as a ballistics technician. Then she informed the contractor that she was changing her gender. After that, she was told funding for the job was cut. She later learned someone else was hired for the position.

Macy filed a complaint with the ATF, which told her that federal job discrimination laws did not apply to transgender people. The Transgender Law Center, a legal rights advocacy group in San Francisco, took up her case.

The ruling does not yet determine that she was discriminated against, but that she can bring a charge of discrimination under the law.

EEOC spokeswoman Justine Lisser said the unanimous ruling from the five-member agency does not create a new cause of action. It clarifies that charges of gender stereotyping are considered claims of sex discrimination under existing law.

Until now, Pizer said, it was common for transgender workers to have their complaints rejected by EEOC regional offices and state civil rights agencies

Beckett sharp & Ortiz homers as Red Sox make it 2 for 2 in Minneapolis MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Josh Beckett had five strikeouts and one confrontation with an umpire in six sharp innings and David Ortiz homered with three RBIs to lead the Boston Red Sox to an 11-2 romp over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Beckett (2-2) allowed two runs and five hits and Mike Aviles went 4 for 5 with a homer and two RBIs for the Red Sox, who had no trouble with this big lead after squandering a nine-run advantage in a loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday.

Beckett jawed with home plate umpire Adrian Johnson after a rough first inning, but the fiery Texan finished his evening by striking out the side in the sixth.

Nick Blackburn (0-2) gave up five runs and eight hits in just three innings for the Twins.

Beckett had a heck of a time in the first inning, needing 37 pitches to grind through it. He walked three straight hitters, including Justin Morneau with the bases loaded, to make it 3-1.

Beckett gave several long looks into Johnson on

a couple of close pitches to Josh Willingham and Danny Valencia. After getting Valencia to ground out to end the inning, Beckett let out a scream as he walked off the mound and yelled “That’s (expletive) five outs!” in Johnson’s direction. As Johnson started to walk toward Beckett, manager Bobby Valentine briefly left the dugout to diffuse the situation.

The only trouble Beckett gave the rest of the way was to the Twins offense. Willingham doubled home Jamey Carroll in the fifth, but that was all Minnesota could muster.

Ortiz’s monster, two-run shot in the third inning landed on the stairway in right field — an estimated 429 feet — to make it 5-1. It was the continuation of an incredible start for the 36-year-old slugger, who is hitting .444 with three homers and 15 RBIs. His 28 hits are a career-high for April.

Adrian Gonzalez had three hits and two RBIs and Scott Atchison and Matt Albers pitched three innings of scoreless relief.

Serving the Lakes Region

Since 1990

Before

The Red Sox led the Yankees 9-0 after five innings on Saturday, but their beleaguered bullpen gave it all back and then some, including consecutive seven-run frames in a loss that Valentine termed rock bottom. They have rebounded with two strong performances in Minnesota, which has lost four straight and is sinking plenty fast itself.

Blackburn left his previous start in the sixth inning with stiffness in his right shoulder and was skipped the next time through the rotation. He gave up three runs and five hits in the first and needed 71 pitches to get through three innings.

Left-hander Matt Maloney didn’t fare any better, getting tagged for five runs and eight hits in 1 2-3 innings.

NOTES: OF Carl Crawford flew from Ft. Myers, Fla., to Boston for an examination on his strained left elbow. Valentine said they were “still gathering information” but said it would remain a concern until he was deemed 100 percent. Crawford has yet to play this season. .

Romney declares he’s the GOP winner WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney laid claim to a fiercely contested Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, anticipating a sweep of five more primaries and urging all who struggle in a shaky economy to “Hold on a little longer; a better America begins tonight.”

The primaries — in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware — were the first since Rick Santorum conceded the nomination, and Romney was eager to turn the political page.

“After 43 primaries and caucuses, many long days and not a few long nights, I can say with confidence — and gratitude — that you have given me a great honor and solemn responsibility,” he said in excerpts of a speech

to be delivered in New Hampshire.

Vowing to defeat President Barack Obama, he said that in the past three years, “we have seen hopes and dreams diminished by false promises and weak leadership. Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired, and many of those who are fortunate enough to have a job are working harder for less.”

Opinion polls have long made the economy the top issue of the campaign, and Romney posed a series of rhetorical questions designed to lead voters to his side.

“Is it easier to make ends meet? Is it earlier to sell your home or buy a new one? Have you saved what you needed for retirement?” he said in the excerpts released by his campaign.

APPLE from page 2 tions, at 11.8 million units. But that was still two and a half times as many as it sold in the same quarter a year ago. Apple launched a new iPad model in the quarter.

Mac sales were also slightly below expectations, at 4 million.

The relative strength of iPhone

sales means they accounted for 58 percent of Apple’s revenue, more than ever. Three years ago, the figure was 27 percent.

As has been the trend the last year, Asia, and in particular China, accounted for much of the revenue growth. A quarter of Apple’s sales now come from Asia, excluding Japan.

Former Ag Commissioner Steve Taylor presenting programs on sheep, cows LACONIA — In cooperation with the New Hampshire Humanities Council, the two free history programs will be presented by Steve Taylor, an independent scholar, farmer, journalist and longtime public official who seerved as the state’s agriculture commissioner from 1982 until 2007.

Taylor will speak on ‘The Great Sheep Boom and its Enduring Legacy on the New Hampshire Landscape,” Thursday, April 26 at 7 p.m. in the Laconia Public Library. In a brief 30-year period, the New Hampshire countryside became home to thousands of sheep. Production of wool became a lucrative business, generating fortunes and providing the only era of true agricultural prosperity in the state’s history. For more informa-

tion, contact the library at 524-4775.

“Cows and Communities: How the Lowly Bovine Has Nurtured New Hampshire Through Four Centuries” is scheduled for Monday, April 30 at 7 p.m. in Taylor Community’s Woodside building.

Cattle were essential to the survival of the earliest New Hampshire settlements and their contributions have been central to the life and culture of the state ever since. From providing dietary sustenance to basic motive power, bovines have had a deep and enduring bond with their keepers, one that lingers today and is a vital part of the iconography of rural New Hampshire.

Space is limited. For reservations or more information, call Taylor Community at 524-5600.

MOULTONBOROUGH — Northwood poet Grace Mattern will read from her newly published first book, ‘The Truth About Death”, at the Moultonboro Public Library’s monthly Evening of Poetry on Tuesday, May 1, at 7:30 p.m.

The event also features an unlimited open mike time, and audience members are encouraged to bring their own writing or music to share. The library is located at 4 Holland Street, the intersection of Routes 25 and 109. This event is free and open to the public, and complimentary refreshments will be served.

“The Truth About Death,” just published in April by Turning Point Press, has already garnered high praise from New England’s poetry luminaries. “In these speedy, unpredictable poems, Grace Mattern recreates her husband’s dying and her widowhood: its dream life, obsessiveness, and angry brilliance,” says Rosanna Warren, Connecticut poet and Pushcart Prize winner.

Mattern’s poetry and short fiction have been published in numerous literary journals, including The Sun, Calyx, Prairie Schooner, Poet Lore, and Yankee.

She received a Poetry Fellowship from the NH State Council on the Arts and was the first recipient of the Jean Pedrick Memorial Fellowship for a residency at Vermont Studio Center. Her chapbook, Fever of

Unknown Origin, was published by Oyster River Press in 2002.

Over the past thirty years, Mattern has been deeply involved in the movement to end violence against women, serving as Executive Director of the NH Coalition gainst Domestic and Sexual Violence and on statewide and national boards. Her website is Grace Mattern (Courtesy www.gracemattern.com, photo) and she will be available to sign copies of her books at intermission.

The second half of Moultonboro’s poetry evening will offer unrestricted open mike time for poets, musicians, and other writers from the audience.

Priscilla Burlingham, poet, artist, and organizer of this series, says: “We encourage our listeners to participate, so bring something to share. There will be a large display of books and CDs for sale and browsing, and ample time to meet other creative people.”

Senior Moment-um scrabble and snack on April 30 GILFORD — The Gilford Parks and Recreation Department will be sponsoring a Senior Momentum program on Monday, April 30.

Participants will meet in the Fellowship Hall at Just Good!

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know enough to continue a project on your own, and yet you do what only the truly savvy would do: ask for more opinions and information. The more you learn the better your work will be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You don’t usually need a lot of outside motivation, but occasionally it makes all the difference. This is one of those occasions. You’ll do your best when you’re with someone who inspires you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Even though your to-do list is approximately a zillion items long, you’re able to approach things with a jovial, funloving mood. It takes a high level of emotional intelligence to maintain this stellar attitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like getting feedback because you know it helps you improve in ways you couldn’t have seen on your own. Being able to accept feedback and use it constructively gives you an advantage over your competition.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be near someone you admire, and you’ll take notes, probably without realizing it.

You’ll learn from this person’s mannerisms and approach to life, but mostly you’ll absorb the general essence of this person.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 25).

Enjoy all the fawning and presents you get today! Through the next six weeks, you’ll be recognized for your unique qualities and truly novel approach to relationships. You’ll bring zesty energy to your work and be noticed and promoted for this. Improvements in your health and fitness happen through June and July. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 20, 5, 16 and 32.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Living large is a frame of mind, as well as a matter of economics. Adventures aren’t cheap, but you’ll continue on because you have a feeling that in the end, the experience will be worth the cost.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are creative, and your whims will bring magic into your world. So dare to take a flight of fancy. You’ll wind up in a fascinating place because you went off on this tangent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Let people know how you really feel. Be specific. Expressing yourself in euphemistic terms won’t communicate what you need from others. Exactness gets your needs met.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you believe about life may be true, and it may not be true. Either way, those beliefs are essential to your daily actions, habits, behaviors and attitudes. Decide which beliefs are getting in your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always feel the need to take full credit for the marvelous outcomes you create.

Sometimes you even give others more credit than they deserve in order to raise morale. This will be one of those times.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re slightly concerned about getting your work done in a timely manner, and friendly distractions abound. Don’t let your worries get the best of you or make you edgy. All will unfold perfectly when you relax.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have a vivid vision of what your life should be, taking into account your desires and inclinations. This may be the idealized version, but it’s certainly something to shoot for.

In 1792, highwayman Nicolas Jacques Pelletier became the first person under French law to be executed by the guillotine.

In 1859, ground was broken for the Suez Canal.

Harmony Grange #99 brings Dictionary Project to Sant Bani School

SANBORNTON — Students in Sam Conkling’s third grade class at Sant Bani School were visited recently by representatives from Harmony Grange #99. Vicki Hussman and Elizabeth Cotsibas came to the school to present each third grader with a gift of a dictionary as part of the Dictionary Project being held by granges throughout the state.

The New Hampshire Project originated with the Pemigewasset Valley Grange and is supported by many local Granges. Throughout the years the Grange has donated hundreds of dictionaries to many schools in the local area including Tilton, Belmont, and New Hampton. Private schools are also among their recipients. The Dictionary Project has expanded to include all fifty states and the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, nine Canadian provinces, and more than fifteen other countries around the world.

Harmony Grange #99 purchases the dictionaries by holding fundraisers. By giving the gift of a dictionary to every third grader, the Grange hopes to promote literacy through reading and further promote a successful educational experience for all children.

To date, over 17 million dictionaries have been distributed with close to 2.5 million in 2011 alone.

Sant Bani School is an independent kindergarten through 12th grade day school. It was founded in 1973 with six students and has grown to 170. Applicants are welcome regardless of family income as help is available for all who need it. Over 70 percent of Sant Bani students receive financial aid. For information call (603) 934-4240 or visit the school’s website at www.santbani.org.

“We all benefit by bringing such talent from all over the nation in the form of classical/symphony music and musicians for performance, collaboration, and education to New Hampshire for six weeks each summer,’’ says Hannaway.

For its 60th anniversary, the New Hampshire Music Festival’s summer concert series will include orchestral classical music, pops concerts, as well as, chamber music performances, plus free pre-concert lectures. Classical concerts are scheduled for Thursdays and Fridays in the Hanaway Theater at PSU’s Silver Center for the Arts.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My sister owns seven cats, three dogs, two turtles and a lizard. They are overrunning her house. There are random bits of garbage all over the floor, along with used dishes -- both human and pet. When the dogs do their business in the house, she lets it stay there for hours while she gets other work done. The last time I was there, I wiped some food off of the wall, and she said I was being rude.

Two months ago, one of her dogs died. A week later, she bought a new one for $750. I happen to know she now has less than $100 in her bank account. And I worry she might lose her job. Her co-workers have complained that her clothing is sloppy and covered in dog hair.

I’ve told her many times that she has too many pets. She replies that it’s not my business and storms off. I suggested she give me one of her dogs or cats, and she told me she would simply buy more. I believe her.

How can I make her see the light? -- Concerned Sister Dear Concerned: To some extent, your sister is right: This isn’t your business. A messy home and dog-haired clothing may not be your preference, but they aren’t necessarily a health risk. She is depleting her bank balance in order to purchase animals, but then, some people do that with shoes.

There can be a fine line between eccentric behavior that is within acceptable boundaries and behavior that indicates mental illness. We don’t think your sister has crossed that line, but she bears watching. So stop criticizing her choices, but keep an eye on whether her appearance and the condition of her house substantially deteriorate, whether she goes into debt and whether the animals are well treated. And let her know you will be a sympathetic shoulder if she ever needs help managing.

Dear Annie: Our neighbor, “Harvey,” is a homosexual and frequently has various men stay at his house overnight --

sometimes more than one at a time.

Here’s the problem: We have an 11-year-old son, and though Harvey is nice to him and a good neighbor to us, should we keep our son from any association with Harvey?

My husband doesn’t seem to think there’s any problem, but one can never be too safe when it comes to protecting your children. -- Sleepless in Seattle Dear Seattle: Harvey should be treated no differently than any adult neighbor who has frequent overnight guests, male or female, presumably for intimate purposes. You wouldn’t want his casual promiscuity (if that’s what it is) to be something your son emulates in his own life, but we assume you would discuss such things with your child as a normal part of transmitting your values and morals. It has nothing to do with Harvey’s sexual orientation, nor does it make him a greater risk to your son’s welfare. And if your real worry is whether association with Harvey will make your son gay, the answer is no.

Dear Annie: This is for “Not a Mommy,” the woman who doesn’t care to hold someone’s infant.

I, too, am not fond of babies (except for my grandchildren), but I have found myself in the same awkward situation when an employee brings her baby to visit the office. Two tips that work for me: Never go alone into the room where the baby is on display. And don’t put yourself in the front tier. Touch the baby so the parent doesn’t think you are a complete ogre, but when asked, “Don’t you want to hold him?” reply, “Oh, let So-and-So. I can see that she’s dying to.” Then quietly make your exit. -- Chris from Maine Dear Chris: Good advice for the baby-averse. Thanks.

Dear Readers: Today is Administrative Professionals Day. If you have assistants who make your job easier, let them know how much they are appreciated.
