City will try ‘mandatory’ recycling
Seymour casts deciding vote to put pay-as-you-throw on the shelf in favor of a 6 month test period BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — For at least six months beginning on July 1 trash will not be collected at the curbside unless it is accompanied by recyclables as Mayor Mike Seymour broke the stalemate of a split City Council at a special meeting last night. Following an hour of public comment
and almost another of debate among the six councilors, the City Council found itself evenly divided between a “pay-as-youthrow” program and a so-called mandatory recycling program, leaving the decided vote with Seymour. Earlier in the month, the mayor indicated that he would break an expected tie by voting for PAYT, but then began to
waver in the face of popular opposition to the program before apparently reverting to his original position on the eve of the vote. But instead of calling for a vote on the two options, Seymour invited the council to consider introducing a mandatory recycling program for a trial period. After a brief discussion, Councilor see RECYCLING page 9

Rhode Island poised to be 10th state to allow gay marriage
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island is on a path to becoming the 10th state to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry after a landmark vote in the state’s Senate on Wednesday. The Senate passed gay marriage legislation by a comfortable 26-12 margin, following a House vote of approval in January. The bill must now return to the House for a largely procedural vote, likely next week, but the celebration began Wednesday. Hundreds of people filled the Statehouse with cheers following the vote. “I grew up in Rhode Island and I’d like to retire in Rhode Island,” said Annie Silvia, 61, who now lives with her partner of 30 years just across the border in North Attleboro, Mass. “No. 10 is a nice round number, but I’d like it to be bigger. Fifty sounds good to me.” Heavily Catholic Rhode Island is the last remaining New Engsee MARRIAGE page 6

Officials say Tsarnaev has acknowledged role in bombings WASHINGTON (AP) — Two U.S. officials say the surviving suspect in the Boston bombings acknowledged his role in the attacks to FBI investigators. But the officials say this occurred before authorities advised him of his constitutional rights, including the right to consult with an attorney and not to incriminate himself.
It was not clear whether the admission by Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) would be admissible in a criminal trial, since it came before he was read his Miranda rights. It’s also unclear whether prosecutors would need the admission to secure a conviction since physical evidence has already been uncov-
ered in the investigation. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing case. Tsarnaev’s two lead defense lawyers did not immediately return phone and email messages.
WASHINGTON (AP) — New information emerged Wednesday from U.S. officials that the name of one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects had been added to a U.S. government terrorist database long before the explosions. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, more than 4,000 mourners paid tribute to
a campus police officer who authorities say was gunned down by the suspects. Among the speakers at the memorial service in Cambridge, just outside Boston, was Vice President Joe Biden, who condemned the bombing suspects as “two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knockoff jihadis.” In a striking new development, U.S. offi-
cials said the name of the dead suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was added by the CIA to a terrorist database 18 months ago. The officials spoke to The Associated press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing case. see DATABASE page 8
Older brother said to have been in U.S. terrorist database for long time
Tsarnaev was unarmed in the boat Bombs triggered by remote detonator WASHINGTON (AP) — Two U.S. officials say the surviving suspect in the Boston bombings was unarmed when police captured him hiding inside a boat in a neighborhood back yard. Authorities originally said they had exchanged gunfire with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (johKHAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) for more than one hour Friday evening before they were able to subdue him. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to dis-

cuss the ongoing investigation, say investigators recovered a 9 mm handgun believed to have been used by Tsarnaev’s brother, Tamerlan, from the site of a gun battle Thursday night, which injured a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officer. Dzhokhar was believed to have been shot before he escaped. The officials tell The Associated Press that no gun was found in the boat. Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said earlier that shots were fired from inside the boat.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The homemade, pressure-cooker bombs used in the deadly Boston Marathon explosions were triggered by a remote detonator of the kind used in remotecontrol toys, U.S. officials said Wednesday. The officials said investigators found pieces of the remotecontrol equipment among the debris and were analyzing them. Both U.S. officials are close to the ongoing investigation but spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. One official described the detonator as “close-controlled” — meaning it had to be triggered within several blocks of the bombs. A criminal complaint outlining federal charges against the surviving bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv), described him as holding a cellphone in his hand minutes before the first explosion.

No baby-faced innocent but not enemy combatant either Sometimes a picture speaks volumes. Sometimes it’s outright deceptive. The picture of “Bomber No. 2” didn’t look a bit like a mass murderer. A sweet-faced college kid, the former lifeguard, the nice young man described by classmates and friends. It couldn’t be. There must be some outside organization calling the shots. An international conspiracy, perhaps. Brainwashing. Or maybe it was just a deceptive picture of a cold-blooded murderer. He and his brother put bombs next to children. One of those children was murdered. In a court of law, innocence is presumed. That is a rule of law, not a finding of fact. For those of us who watched, watched over and over, the proof appears to be nothing less than overwhelming. Others may have been involved. Further investigation is absolutely required. But I for one have no doubt that the defendant is not a baby-faced college student, that he is no one’s victim, that he is responsible for heinous crimes. Responsibility is not an exacting standard in criminal law. Did he know what he was doing? Did he understand that there was a bomb in that backpack, and that bombs kill people and terrorize cities? Whatever other pressures may have been at work, however influenced he was by religion or his brother or anyone else, if he knew what he was doing, if he understood the nature of his conduct, that is enough to make him responsible. But that does not make him an enemy combatant. The calls by politicians to treat him as one, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham, a lawyer who should know better, demonstrate the triumph of politics over law. According to Graham, speaking on the Senate floor, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s “ties to radical Islamic thought” and his Chechen heritage should justify holding him as an “enemy combatant” subject to trial by a military tribunal. Ties to “radical Islamic thought” do not make a person an enemy combatant. Ties to thought are, in fact, at the core of the protection afforded by
the First Amendment. Actions are another matter. But there is absolutely no evidence that this man was a member of al-Qaida or the Taliban, or that his acts were directed by foreign enemies. He is an American citizen who (allegedly) killed innocent people and would have (absent the brilliance of the Boston hospital trauma system) killed many more — on American soil using devices made in America. Indeed, even Graham acknowledges this. He just wants him to be treated as an enemy combatant until proved otherwise. Nothing in the law or the Constitution supports this. It is totally unnecessary. The evidence against Tsarnaev is overwhelming. He wouldn’t need to say a word to government authorities to be convicted in an American court. The only consequence of not giving him Miranda rights is that his statements might not be admissible in a criminal trial, which, frankly, won’t matter. Anyone who thinks a Boston jury will be unduly sympathetic (unlike military officers) is just plain wrong. Indeed, for my money, military officers — who are more accustomed to seeing death on the fields of battle than the rest of us are to seeing destruction and devastation in Copley Square — might have an easier time focusing solely on the evidence admitted at trial. In our ridiculously polarized media and political culture, we have a tendency to see everything in extremes, which means that more often than not we’re wrong. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is not a babyfaced innocent, even if that is how he looks in the pictures that flashed on the screen every minute. He placed a bomb in the middle of hundreds of innocent people, children included. He is also not an enemy combatant by any definition, nor do we need to treat him as one in order to ensure that justice is done.

Ayotte supported constitutional right of law abiding citizens To the editor, I want to publicly thank Senator Ayotte for her vote on the U.S. Senate’s terrible gun bill. We are fortunate to have one senator to support the constitutional rights of law abid-
ing citizens. Two key words here: Law abiding. The liberals that would confiscate our weapons just don’t understand that part. Tyler Simpson New Hampton

LETTERS Some small steps to make Messer Street safer for our children To the editor, I have lived on the upper side of Messer Street for over 20 years. In those 20 years, I have heard and witnessed several accidents. But, never a fatal one. Until now. Sadly... just recently, we lost a darling young girl — Lily Johnson. My heart and prayers go out to the family. To the city of Laconia: I have a few suggestions that may slow down any more accidents in the near future. 1. Install a blinking yellow caution light at the entrance of Opechee Street. To remind all drivers of the speed limit of 30 MPH. 2. Place a police cruiser nearby to enforce that speed limit. 3. Put a crosswalk at that corner with a traffic officer to assist the chil-
dren in crossing that street. 4. Make sure that the safety of our kids comes first at any intersections, or crosswalks before any business growth. These small steps are being used at our other three schools in this city. LMS should not be any different. The population of this facility certainly warrants a harder look by our City Council. For Lilly, a tree could be planted at any designated place in our city in her memory. I am positive that the citizens of Laconia would be more than willing to donate monies for that purpose. Or something else... I don’t know. Again, These are just some ideas to ponder for the years to come. Think about it ... PLEASE! Donald Isabelle Laconia
I apologize to Jack for assuming too much; I rather liked poem To the editor, Perhaps I do owe Jack Polidoro an apology. If he was being sincere about that one sentence in his poem, which included three references that the left began harping about within hours of the Boston terrorist atrocity, then I do apologize for “assuming” too much. I was incensed at the audacity and insensitivity of mainstream news sources in either “assuming” or hoping that this massacre was caused by “right wing extremists”. It appears I was wrong in “assuming” that he was jumping on that redundant and usually way off track bandwagon. My frustration and anger at the constant barrage of false accusations and outright lies perpetuated by modern day liberals toward conservatives was
wrongly vented at Jack and for that I am sorry. I will not hold my breath waiting for an apology from all those who were wrong about their racist and insensitive remarks toward those on the right including conservatives and tea party types in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attack. Why anyone watches CNN or MSNBC is beyond me. I will continue to point out the fallacies of the revisionist spin put forth by those on the left. Those would be the ones who are politicizing everything. I just wanted to make that clear to Jack. Again, apologies to Jack and, as I said in my original letter, I rather liked the poem and believed it to be heart felt. Russ Wiles Tilton
My understanding is no tax money goes to these scholarships To the editor, In response to Carlos Cardona’s letter of April 23: If Sen. Hosmer put out the fact that his children go to a private school, in a campaign video, how is it that you say that it is no ones business? Secondly, my understanding is that no tax money goes to the private schools “religious” or otherwise, through the Education Tax credit Program; the money comes from private donations. The companies that make the donation do receive a tax credit. I suppose that could mean that there
is less money in the pipeline for the public school system. But the public schools are losing some funding for reasons of nonperformance (my observation). The state or local communities are sending no money to these private schools. If you are saying that the public schools loss of money in this case equals state funding of religious education maybe your prejudice against religious education, or your zeal for public education, is causing you to make a false assertion against this law.

LETTERS Fireworks? We’re talking about shells & gunpowder here folks
If Obama really cared about saving lives there are things he could do
To the editor, Every year — as the weather goes from ice and storm to nice and warm — a familiar fear creeps into my life. Seems like every weekend (and holiday) we hear boom boom boom — the sound of people setting off fireworks in my neighborhood. And for us, with it comes visions of houses in flames, forest fires, blown-off body parts and now, the much more horrible bombing with home-grown explosives. Ironically, while people cry out for stricter gun control, who’d a thunk that all someone would need is a pressure cooker and some shells from their local fireworks store. . . that some cash and a little know how (which can be found on the Internet) would establish a new breeding ground for “do it yourself” terrorists! Why would anyone risk their life going through a school shooting everyone in sight? Now they can just get their supplies from one of the many fireworks stores (which are almost as plentiful and accessible as a Walgreen’s chain), build a home made bomb, plant it and blow it up! In my community alone, there are two ginormous fireworks stores not more than about 10 miles from each other. And you can bet they don’t check anybody’s background as they purchase their “supplies” Today anybody can be a fireworks “expert” Only problem is — do they know what they are doing? We’ve heard fireworks going off during severe droughts — when everything
To the editor, President Obama is angry. A bipartisan group in the Democratcontrolled Senate refused to pass a gun control bill that everyone agreed would not have prevented Newtown. Vice President Biden promises that the president will issue executive orders to make up for the Senate’s failure to restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. President Obama claims that opponents lied about the gun control bill. Well, that is the pot calling the kettle black. Lies are President Obama’s forte! His claims that 2,000,000 felons have been stopped from getting guns by background checks and his claims that 40 percent of gun sales avoid background checks are misleading if not blatant lies. He falsely says the law would prevent a federal gun registry. The proposed law only makes it illegal for the Attorney General to create a gun registry, i.e., Homeland Security or other agency could create a registry. Gun confiscations from law abiding citizens are already happening without warrants in NJ, NY, and California. Anyone who thinks that liberals don’t want to take people’s guns, removing their ability to defend themselves, is not listening. Each proposed gun control bill takes a little more of Americans’ rights and abilities to defend themselves. Of course President Obama was using grieving Newtown parents as
is potential tinder. We have heard them fired during heavy winds — when one spark can fly and devastate someone’s property. We actually saw someone blow off three of their fingers with a cherry bomb and while attending a barbecue one July 4th, we saw a misdirected rocket hit someone’s head — even as they watched from a “safe” distance away. And I don’t even want to think about the back yard Joe who looks to introduce his children into the “art” of pyrotechnics with some “hands on” experience. Talk about the blind leading the blind. For us, we don’t care HOW careful he is being — when dealing with pyrotechnics, you care dealing with EXPLOSIVES and so you can’t ever be careful enough. Then, of course, is the scarier alternative — a person who DOES know what to do with all those incendiary supplies. We are talking about shells and gunpowder here folks — that’s why it can make such a loud BOOM... and such a lethal home-made bomb! During the Boston Marathon bombing, I heard the term “stay safe” being bandied about. If we are going to try to control fire power, why don’t we start with restricting the unlimited supply of shells, gunpowder and other incendiary items that can be found at our friendly, local and taxfree fireworks stores. Better yet, if we truly wish to “stay safe”, why don’t we start by restricting purchase and use of fireworks to licensed professionals and the display of fireworks to public see next page
political props! That’s normal. He certainly didn’t showcase anyone who opposes more federal and state gun controls. President Obama wanted Newtown parents to make senators vote for gun controls out of sympathy rather than based on the bill itself, the Constitution, or on the will of their constituents. President Obama was angry that the press pointed out that he was using Newtown parents as props. Background checks are only part of the proposed gun control bill. Any claim that 90 percent of Americans support the bill is a lie. The bi-partisan group of senators who voted against the gun control bill, including Senator Ayotte, deserve our thanks. If President Obama really cared about saving innocent lives rather than restricting people’s rights, there are plenty of things he could do. He could make sure that felons who illegally get or try to get guns are prosecuted. He could make sure that people who commit violent crimes are kept locked up for long periods of time. He could encourage and help the mayors of America’s large cities, where most crime occurs, get guns out of the hands of gang members and criminals and aggressively prosecute people who harm others. These are the things that a president would do if his real desire were to save the lives of innocent people. Don Ewing Meredith

LILY from page one Superintendent Bob Champlin said yesterday that Alyssa is recovering from surgery and she appears to be on her way to a long, and hopefully complete, recovery. In conjunction with the non-religious calling hours, Champlin said the Middle School cafeteria and multipurpose room will be open during the same hours for mourners to assemble from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Champlin said the Laconia Police Department will create a safe passage between St. James, located on North Main Street and the nearby middle school and he said people can park at the school, Opeeche Cove or the Smith Track. For those who can’t walk, Huot Technical Center vans will be available to shuttle people to and from the parking area. He also said First Student bus company will provide a handicap-accessible buses for those mourners who need it. There is overflow parking for community volunteers at the Pleasant Street School with a shuttle being
provided to take people back and forth to the Middle School. There will be light refreshments available at the Middle School and people who have volunteered juice boxes, water and desserts are asked to e-mail Kaitlyn Salome at ksalome@ laconia.k12.nh.us to coordinate their efforts. Champlin said he decided to close the middle school yesterday and today so staff who have given up much of their week of school vacation can get a couple of days to rest. They will return to school Friday in preparation for school to restart Monday. He said this has been a very traumatic time for the students, the staff and the community. He said the love and support shown to the Johnson and Minor families and school district employees by members of the community has been overwhelming and he personally wanted to thank them of behalf of the School District for their kindness and resilience in helping the Middle School children resume a sense of normality.
MARRIAGE from page 2 land state without gay marriage. Marriage legislation has been introduced in the state for nearly two decades, only to languish on the legislative agenda. Supporters mounted a renewed push this year, and the Senate vote was seen as the critical test after the House easily passed the bill. Gov. Lincoln Chafee, an independent, called Wednesday’s vote historic. “I’m very much looking forward to signing this,” he told The Associated Press as he congratulated supporters. The first gay marriages in Rhode Island could take place Aug. 1, when
the legislation would take effect. Civil unions would no longer be available to same-sex couples as of that date, though the state would continue to recognize existing civil unions. Lawmakers approved civil unions two years ago, though few couples have sought them. Hundreds of opponents also gathered at the Statehouse for the vote, singing hymns and holding signs as the Senate deliberated. Rev. David Rodriguez, a Providence minister, said he was disappointed by the vote. He said he planned to continue to stand up for traditional marriage. “Marriage between a man and a woman is what God wanted,” he said. “We will continue to do what we know how to do: Keep praying and preaching.” The Roman Catholic Church was the bill’s most significant opponent. During the Senate’s emotional debate several senators said they struggled mightily, weighing their personal religious beliefs against stories they heard from gay constituents or their families.
from preceding page places only. If this had been the law in the first place, perhaps all those lives would not have been destroyed. The door has been opened - people know how to do this now. And so it might be a good idea not to wait too long before we do something about it! T.K. & Bill Whalen

A first, Coast Guard Auxiliary plans presence on big lake this summer By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — This summer, for the first time in its 66-year history, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will be deployed on freshwater other than the Great Lakes when members of Flotilla 2-8, headquartered at the U.S. Coast Guard Station, Portsmouth Harbor take to the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee. Sean Skillings of Milton, staff officer for public affairs, said that while the Auxiliary has been teaching marine safety and inspecting vessels on the lake for many years, this year it will also patrol the lake this summer and, in partnership with the U.S. Power Squadron, offer a range of educational and training programs. Created by Congress in 1939 amid growing threats of war, the Auxiliary numbers 36,000 volunteers who support the Coast Guard in all but its law enforcement and military operations. Its members receive the same education and training as their regular counterparts and wear the same uniforms, with silver buttons and braid in place of the gold worn by regulars. Skillings said that Flotilla 2-8 numbers some 70 members, about half with military experience, and is responsible for the Atlantic coastline between Kennebunkport, Maine and Hampton, New Hampshire. Members of the Auxiliary operate their own vessels, which Skillings said become “authorized platforms” while on duty and are reimbursed for their fuel costs. He said that the Auxiliary assist with shepherding large ships like freighters and tankers in and out of Portsmouth Harbor as well as patrol the coastal waters and navigable rivers. The Auxiliary provides instruction in all aspects of boating safety and basic navigation as well as offers courtesy inspections of vessels to ensure they are seaworthy and property equipped, Skillings said, noting that courses are posted on the Flotilla’s website, www.uscgauxnh.com. Although the Auxiliary responds to emergencies, Skillings said that members primarily serve as the “eyes and ears” of the New Hampshire Marine Patrol. “If we see someone operating recklessly , we contact the Marine Patrol and if a boat is disabled see next page

from preceding page Sen. Maryellen Goodwin, D-Providence, said she lost sleep over her vote but decided, despite opposition from the Catholic Church, to vote “on the side of love.” “I’m a practicing Catholic. I’m proud to be a Catholic,” she said, adding that it was the personal stories of gays, lesbians and their families in her district who convinced her. “I struggled with this for days, for weeks. It’s certainly not an easy vote.” Opponents to the bill tried unsuccessfully to send the question to the voters as a ballot referendum. After that failed, Sen. Harold Metts, D-Providence, told his colleagues that he couldn’t go against his religious convictions and that residents in his community are more concerned about other matters. “My constituents are more concerned with bread-

and-butter issues,” he said. “They want food on the table. They want their kids to get a good education.” The Rhode Island legislation states that religious institutions may set their own rules regarding who is eligible to marry within the faith and specifies that no religious leader is obligated to officiate at any marriage ceremony and no religious group is required to provide facilities or services related to a gay marriage. While ministers already cannot be forced to marry anyone, the exemption helped assuage some senators’ concerns and ease the bill’s passage this year. Delaware could be the next state to approve gay marriage. Legislation legalizing same-sex marriage narrowly passed the Delaware House on Tuesday and now heads to that state’s Senate for consideration.

The disclosure was significant because officials have been saying the U.S. intelligence community had no relevant information leading up to the April 15 bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others. Inclusion of one of the bomb suspects’ name in a database for 18 months before the attack could prompt congressional inquiries about whether the U.S. government adequately investigated tips from Russia that Tsarnaev posed a security threat. Tsarnaev’s younger brother, surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was listed in fair condition as he recovered from wounds suffered during a getaway attempt.

Gilford man charged with lying to authorities about felony conviction when he applied for gun permit GILFORD — A local man has been indicted by a Belknap County grand jury for allegedly lying to police by not reporting a 25-year-old felony conviction while applying for a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Bruce M. Gard, Jr. 46, of 9 Ox Bow Lane was indicted for one misdemeanor count of unsworn falsification and six felony counts of being a felon in possession of a weapon, one count for each firearm in his possession. An indictment has no bearing on a person’s guilt or innocence but is a statement by an independent grand jury that enough evidence exists to conduct a criminal trial. Gilford police said Gard came to them on January 21 and filled out an application to carry a concealed weapon. A detective said a criminal background check indicated he was convicted of burglary in Belknap County Superior Court on March 28, 1988. Police said further investigation showed the conviction had not been expunged from his criminal record nor had it been reduced to a misdemeanor. Det. Daniel O’Neill said Gard cooperated with police during the investigation. O’Neill said it appears Gard purchased “a couple” of
his guns through a registered gun dealer and that an National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NISCS) profile was done before the purchase. He said others were purchased through gun shows. According to the FBI Website, the NICS background check was instituted in 1998 as part of the Brady Bill that passed in 1993 and is used by federal firearms licensees to determine if a prospective gun buyer is eligible to buy a gun. The FBI says about 10 million NICS checks have been done that have led to about 700,000 denials. It is the expansion of NICS system that is at the heart of recent national debates regarding proposed new gun laws. According to O’Neill, it is “unusual” that Gard allegedly purchased guns without his conviction registering on NICS.” He said all applications received by Gilford Police for licenses to carry concealed weapons go through a criminal background check and that the application, which is a standard one, has a disclaimer about falsifying information. The owner of Belmont Firearms and Range said he performs NICS checks on every gun that is sold and denials are “routine.” He said, to his knowledge, he has never had an instance where the NICS failed to identify a felony conviction. “I get audited and the people who sell me guns get audited as well,” Gillespie said.
RECYCLING from page one Baer (Ward 4) offered a motion for a six-month trial period. When the vote was taken the council was deadlocked with the three in favor of PAYT — Councilors Matt Lahey (Ward 2), Henry Lipman (Ward 3) and Bob Hamel Ward 5) — voting against the motion and Councilors Ava Doyle (Ward 1), Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) and Baer, who all preferred a mandatory program, voting in favor. Seymour broke the deadlock by voting to introduce mandatory recycling for a six-month trial period. Of three dozen residents gathered in the Council Chambers, 12 stepped to microphone to offer their opinions. Only two expressed unequivocal support for PAYT while seven spoke equally strongly against it. “Enough is enough,” said John McKenzie who estimated PAYT would cost his family of five between $300 and $600 a year. “I’m against it right off the bat. The cost would hurt our family.” Doubting his estimates, Hamel explained that since he was putting one 30-gallon can of trash at the curb, he would
only require one 30-gallon bag (at $1.75) a week under a PAYT program. Marilyn Brown was one of two women who regularly recycle and asked “why should we be penalized?” Lahey told her she was already being penalized since her property taxes were paying for trash collected from those who do not recycle. “You’re doing the right thing and subsidizing the people who aren’t,” he said. Former city councilor Dave Gammon questioned claims that PAYT would reduce the amount raised by property taxes. “”I’m totally against this,” he declared. “I don’t see the savings.” On the other hand, Arelene Barrett endorsed PAYT, reminding the councilors that “it’s not just about the tax base. It’s about the environment. It’s not merely a garbage issue,” she said, stressing that recycling was required to protect the natural environment. “PAYT makes the most sense,” said Dick Smith. He said that unless the cost of collecting, transportsee next page

Oritiz & Drew carry Red Sox past A’s, 6-5 BOSTON (AP) — Big Papi almost looks as if he never missed all that time. David Ortiz had two hits and drove in a run, Stephen Drew hit a two-run triple, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 6-5 on Wednesday afternoon to take a three-game series. “When you consider eight months down and I don’t know how many at-bats he’s had, 15 or so and you consider the number of hits he’s compiled, it is impressive,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “He’s got such good plate coverage. Against lefties he goes the other way for a double and hits one through the hole. “He’s pretty amazing to watch and he’s run the bases well. There’s no issues as far as his intensity as well — as he’s run with. He’s really given us a lift in the middle of the order.” It was Boston’s ninth win in 12 games and came after a 13-0 loss to Oakland a night earlier. Ortiz is 8 for 16 since returning to the lineup on Saturday for the first time since last August. He missed 71 of the final 72 games last season and all of spring training’s with an Achilles tendon injury. But he doesn’t feel that well yet.
“I’m not really concerned with getting injured,” he said. “But there’s still some concern because I’m not 100 percent yet.” Ortiz has multiple hits in three of his four games. “I work, man. I work. I’m old enough to know what I need to do to stay there,” he said. “Right now I’m not where I want to be, so I’m not trying to juice some balls. I’m trying to stay with what they give me. You see how they pitch me. I got to be patient.” Chris Young had a three-run homer and a solo shot for the Athletics, who finished a six-game road trip 1-5. They were swept at the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend. Jon Lester (4-0) got the win despite walking a season-high six and lasting just 5 2-3 innings. He allowed three runs on six hits, striking out five and walking two more than he had in his previous four starts. Oakland was hurt by another rough start by Brett Anderson. Anderson (1-4) was hit hard for the third straight start, giving up six runs on eight hits in four-plus innings. In the last three, he’s been tagged for 17 runs in 10 2-3 innings.
from preceding page ing and disposing of trash was reduced was reduced, residents would be faced with the choice between paying higher property taxes or accepting diminished municipal services. Lipman opened with a similar argument when the councilors took up the issue, which he said “has been mischaracterized as a choice between mandatory recycling and PAYT. It’s really a choice,” he continued, “between what services we can provide while complying with the tax cap.” He said that this year alone some $1-million in expenses have been transferred from the state to the city and explained that savings and efficiencies must be achieved to budget within the tax cap. Of the two options for reducing the solid waste budget, Lipman said that PAYT promised the greatest returns. Tacitly conceding the program is not popular, he said that “citizens have a responsibility to contribute to the quality of our community. We’re asking the community to help us. We want you to help us help you.” Baer said that she had received 104 calls and e-mails, 84 of them in opposition to PAYT. Likewise, she recalled that at a public forum in 2011, 64-percent of those present opposed PAYT. She said that “one group is talking about money and one group
is talking about what people want.” She suggested that there are other ways to reduce spending and increases revenues without resorting to PAYT. Baer noted that the responsibility of city councilors is to represent their constituents. “I listen to the people,” echoed Bolduc, who said that nine of 10 people he heard from were against PAYT. Noting that the council deferred its decision to allow for a period of public comment, he said “we asked them to come forward and now we’re telling them they did it for nothing.” Hamel, who read many of the same e-mails as Baer, suggested that as many as 70-percent of the comments betrayed a misunderstanding of the PAYT program. “The facts were wrong,” he said. Calling PAYT “a regressive fee,” Doyle urged the council to weigh “the human cost.” She stressed that the cost of the bags would burden already hardpressed households. Hamel pointed out that mandatory recycling would require collecting recyclables every week, which would cost an additional $90,000. In response to a question from Seymour, City Manager Scott Meyers said that since a mandatory program is projected to trim solid waste costs by $117,000 a year, the cost of weekly collection would reduce the net savings to $27,000. After the vote, Seymour said that the community is on notice that if mandatory recycling fails to produce satisfactory results, PAYT will be introduced next year. “Is the community willing to step up?” he asked.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
to your ideas is truly special and will be cherished as such. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As your guiding planet pulls across the sky from the sun, you might be tempted to do whatever it takes to reach a goal. Take a step back and think about this. A righteous process is the ultimate success. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The reason you go forward with duties you aren’t particularly thrilled to carry out is that you know a valuable secret: The bigger life happens beyond the small world of what you want to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your understanding of human motivation and behavior will save you from a hassle -- that is if you act on what you instinctively know. Don’t be swayed by strong personalities. Stand up for yourself. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 25). Your limited view of yourself will be challenged this year. You’ll rip up the plan and love how your life follows a natural course through the next seven weeks. Then it’s back to the drawing board, and a new goal shapes your decisions. August brings the first in a series of small victories that add up to an October prize. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers: 6, 4, 33, 12 and 30.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you request things repeatedly, you’ll sound like a nag, and you’ll be tuned out. So instead, you’ll take matters into your own hands and make it look like fun, too. Others will rush to hop onto your moving train. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The task you’ve been dreading won’t be so bad. Today’s high energy level will make it much easier. Once you get over your initial resistance, it will be smooth sailing. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re a social person, but crowds can still cause you stress, especially when you have to keep track of someone or stick with a group. Evening offers just the tranquility you need to calm your nerves. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Does acting “as if” something is true really make it so? Test the theory by assuming a warm familiarity with someone you hardly know. You’ll be surprised at how little time it takes to feel like you’re old friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Big projects require big efforts. But perhaps one of the most important efforts you can make right now is simply to get more sleep. Taking great care of yourself will set you up to do optimal work in the days to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your manner of speaking may be different from that of others, but oh, how you get your point across! The language of emotions is universal, at least in the way you’re communicating now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The difficulties of the past have made you strong and determined to do something remarkable with your life. Those who’ve had it easy may not relate to your past story, but they will be affected by the future you create. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your talents will be highlighted, especially your artistic and interpersonal gifts. This creates a sheen of glamour around you, and you’ll enjoy how others react to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have many friends, but the one who encourages you to give full, enthusiastic expression

THURSDAY PRIME TIME
Today is Thursday, April 25, the 115th day of 2013. There are 250 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 25, 1983, 10-year-old Samantha Smith of Manchester, Maine, received a reply from Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov to a letter she’d written expressing concern about possible nuclear war; Andropov reassured Samantha that the Soviet Union did not want war, and he invited her to visit his country, a trip Samantha made the following July. On this date: In 1507, a world map produced by German cartographer Martin Waldseemueller contained the first recorded use of the term “America,” in honor of Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci (vehs-POO’-chee). 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. In 1862, during the Civil War, a Union fleet commanded by Flag Officer David G. Farragut captured the city of New Orleans. In 1898, the United States formally declared war on Spain. In 1901, New York Gov. Benjamin Barker Odell Jr. signed an automobile registration bill which imposed a 15 mph speed limit on highways. In 1915, during World War I, Allied soldiers invaded the Gallipoli (guh-LIHP’-uh-lee) Peninsula in an unsuccessful attempt to take the Ottoman Empire out of the war. In 1944, the United Negro College Fund was founded. In 1945, during World War II, U.S. and Soviet forces linked up on the Elbe (EL’-beh) River, a meeting that dramatized the collapse of Nazi Germany’s defenses. Delegates from some 50 countries met in San Francisco to organize the United Nations. In 1959, the St. Lawrence Seaway opened to shipping. In 1972, Polaroid Corp. introduced its SX-70 folding camera, which ejected self-developing photographs. Actor George Sanders was found dead in his hotel room near Barcelona, Spain; he was 65. In 1993, hundreds of thousands of gay rights activists and their supporters marched in Washington, D.C., demanding equal rights and freedom from discrimination. Ten years ago: The Pentagon announced that Army Secretary Thomas White, whose tenure as civilian chief of the military’s largest service was marked by tensions with his boss, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, was leaving office. Five years ago: Three New York police detectives were acquitted in the 50-shot killing of Sean Bell, an unarmed groom-to-be, on his wedding day. One year ago: The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Arizona’s tough immigration law. (A divided court later threw out major parts of the law.) The Senate offered a lifeline to the nearly bankrupt U.S. Postal Service, voting to give the struggling agency an $11 billion cash infusion while delaying controversial decisions on closing post offices and ending Saturday delivery. (The House didn’t pass a bill.)

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 25, 2013— Page 19
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My 4-year-old granddaughter, “Jill,” visited recently and declared, “My mommy told me to watch what I eat because she doesn’t want me get heavy.” Jill is certainly not heavy, and I was appalled that she was being told such a thing. I assured her that she is perfect. My son is divorced from Jill’s mother. He informed me that his ex does indeed send this type of message to her little girl. My son is a great father. He tries to avoid confrontations with his ex and her parents, as they can be manipulative and selfcentered. I will never speak disparagingly to my granddaughter about her mother, but I am concerned about the consequences such messages deliver on a little girl’s self-image. Obviously, her mother and grandparents are a huge influence. Should I stay silent and let my son deal with his ex? -- Concerned Nana Dear Nana: You should not say anything to the ex, but encourage your son to do so. A 4-year-old girl should be eating roughly 1,200 calories a day with an emphasis on healthy foods that provide her with the proper nutrients. It’s OK to teach Jill which foods are helpful for her body and which are not. But Mom should not give the message that Jill isn’t good enough unless she is skinny, nor should Mom be restricting her daughter’s calories in an effort to make her thin. Please tell your son to discuss this with Jill’s pediatrician. He needs to be her advocate. But you also are an influence in Jill’s life. When she visits you, make her feel loved no matter how she looks or what she eats. Dear Annie: My mother wants to use the Internet to look up definitions to crossword clues she is unfamiliar with. I feel this is cheating. Is it? I believe if you don’t know or can’t answer the word in one
direction, the intersecting clues are there to help you create the answer. While looking up a definition might be helpful once you’ve solved the entire crossword, doing it in advance seems like an unfair advantage. We are currently bickering over this, so your thoughts would be appreciated. -- Crossword Junkie Dear Crossword: Part of the challenge of crossword puzzles is not to know all of the answers in advance. Where’s the fun in that? And some clues are deliberately set up to be interpreted in more than one way, so a definition isn’t necessarily useful. It might be considered cheating if Mom were in a competition (dictionaries also provide synonyms), but since she is not, it only deprives her of the satisfaction of figuring out the clues on her own. Please don’t make that your problem. Dear Annie: Like “Your Husband,” I was one of those men with a significant sex drive. But after three children, my wife shut me down completely. I slept on the couch for four years until a family counselor said we should divorce because we were lousy role models for our children. My ex-wife has remarried, but is as unhappy as ever. I am still single, but have not regretted the divorce for a single day. Physical touch is too important to turn off and not expect consequences. For a lot of men, sex is the glue that makes a relationship work. Telling a man that sex is over is as devastating to him as telling a woman she can never again talk to her girlfriends. Women would label that “abuse.” Well, many men consider the loss of sex to be just as horrendous. As I told my daughter when she was older, “If you decide to give up sex, do not expect your husband to agree with you. There will be consequences.” -- Your Next Husband
