Fire Chief warns less overtime means more risk

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson drew a sharp rebuke from City Manager Eileen Cabanel when he warned the City Council last night that cutting the Fire Department’s overtime budget would lessen its capacity to respond to emergencies, placing people and property at risk.

In 2010-11, the overtime budget was $231,000 and this year Erickson requested $268,000. Cabanel trimmed $77,000 from the chief’s request, a cut of 29-percent.

Erickson told the council that an overtime budget of at least $217,000 was required in order to have eight firefighters on duty at all times. Noting that about a third of the 3,400 calls for service occurred when per-

Police search 2 cars after Maine mom vanishes in Conway

CONWAY, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire police plan to search two vehicles in their investigation into a missing Maine woman whose young daughter was found in one of them.

Police say a car belonging to 20-year-old Portland, Maine, resident Krista Dittmeyer was found Saturday with its engine running and hazard lights flashing in the Cranmore Mountain ski area parking lot in Conway, a town of about 10,000 people.

Police say there’s nothing to indicate Dittmeyer left the area voluntarily.

They’re investigating the case as a possible crime.

Dittmeyer’s mother, Lanell Shackley, on Monday told WBZ-TV in Boston there’s no way her daughter would ever leave her baby.

Police Lt. Chris Perley says he wouldn’t want to speculate on the condition of Dittmeyer but would just hope she’s safe and sound.

Thousands of Syrian troops raid rebellious city BEIRUT (AP) — Thousands of soldiers backed by tanks and snipers moved in before dawn to the city where Syria’s anti-government uprising began, causing panic in the streets when they opened fire indiscriminately on civilians and went house-to-house rounding up suspected protesters. At least 11 people were killed and 14 others lay in the streets — either dead or gravely wounded, witnesses said.

The military raids on the southern city of Daraa and at least two other areas suggested Syria is trying to impose military control on the centers of protests against President Bashar Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for four decades. Residents and human rights activists said the regime wants to terrify opponents and intimidate them from

staging any more demonstrations.

The offensive was meticulously planned: Electricity, water and mobile phone services were cut. Security agents armed with guns and knives conducted house-to-house sweeps, neighborhoods were sectioned off and checkpoints were erected before the sun rose.

“They have snipers firing on everybody who is moving,” a witness told The Associated Press by telephone. “They aren’t discriminating. There are snipers on the mosque. They are firing at everybody,” he added, asking that his name not be used for fear of retribution.

The massive assault on Daraa appeared to be part of new strategy of crippling, pre-emptive strikes against any opposition to Assad, rather than reacting to demonstrations.

Other crackdowns and arrest sweeps were

reported on the outskirts of Damascus and the coastal town of Jableh — bringing more international condemnation and threats of targeted sanctions by Washington.

Razan Zeitounia, a human rights activist in Damascus, said the widespread arrests — including of men along with their families — appear to be an attempt to scare protesters and set an example for the rest of the country.

The attack on Daraa, an impoverished city on the Jordanian border, was by far the biggest in scope and firepower. Video purportedly shot by activists showed tanks rolling through streets and grassy fields with soldiers on foot jogging behind them.

Witnesses said busloads of troops poured in before dawn and snipers took up positions on see SYRIA page 9

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (AP) — Thunder roared and tornado warning sirens blared, and all emergency workers in the southeast Missouri town of Poplar Bluff could do Monday was hope the saturated levee holding back the Black River would survive yet another downpour.

Murky water flowed over the levee at more than three dozen spots and crept toward homes in the flood plain. Some had already flooded. If the levee broke — and forecasters said it was in imminent danger of doing so — some 7,000 residents in and around Poplar Bluff would be displaced.

One thousand homes were evacuated earlier in the day. Sandbagging wasn’t an option, Police Chief Danny Whitely said.

There were too many trouble spots, and it was too dangerous to put people on the levee. Police went door-to-door encourag-

ing people to get out. Some scurried to collect belongings, others chose to stay. Two men had to be rescued by boat.

“Basically all we can do now is wait, just wait,” Whitely said.

It could be a long week of waiting for the rain to stop in Poplar Bluff and other river towns in the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys. Storms have ripped through parts of middle America for weeks, and they were followed Monday by heavy rain that pelted an area from northeast Texas to Kentucky.

In communities already hit by severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, residents watched rivers and lakes rise with a growing sense of dread. Some rented moving trucks to haul their possessions to safety, while others evacuated quickly, carrying their belongings in plastic bags.

The storm system that blew through northeast Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas on Monday was expected to move into Illinois and Wisconsin on Tuesday, said Greg Carbin, a meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. At the same time, a second storm system will start along the same path, meaning several more days of rain. That system will continue east through Thursday, he said.

“I think we’ll see substantial flooding,” Carbin predicted, adding later, “Arkansas to Illinois, that corridor, they’ve already have incredible rainfall and this is going to aggravate the situation.”

The region will get at least 6 inches of rain over the next three days, he said. An area east of Little Rock, Ark., stretching across Memphis and up to eastern Tennessee will be hardest hit with 8 to 9 inches.

NATO strike on Gadhafi Houston doctors say Giffords can attend launch compound badly damages buildings TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — NATO airstrikes targeted the center of Moammar Gadhafi’s seat of power early Monday, unleashing guided bombs that destroyed a multistory library and office in his compound and badly damaged a reception hall for visiting dignitaries.

A government official said at a news conference at the site that three people had been killed and 45 injured, 15 of them seriously. However, a security official had told journalists when they first visited the scene hours earlier that only four people had been slightly injured. There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy.

Gadhafi’s whereabouts at the time of the attack on his sprawling Bab al-Aziziya compound were unclear. He has made infrequent public appearances in Tripoli during the fighting that broke out in February between his forces and rebel groups.

Government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said Gadhafi is not in hiding.

“He is well. He is healthy. He is in high spirits,” said Ibrahim, adding that officials considered the airstrike an attempt on Gadhafi’s life and “an act of terrorism.”

The strike on the compound — a military base where Gadhafi maintains an official residence — was a sign of mounting pressure on the regime. While NATO said the site was targeted as a military command post, it also delivered a strong message to the embattled leader that the alliance is widening its range of targets.

While rebels control most of eastern Libya, Gadhafi is trying to keep control of the western half, which includes the capital of Tripoli. In recent days, opposition forces in western Libya drove Gadhafi’s troops out of the besieged rebel city of Misrata and also took control of a border crossing with Tunisia.

Gadhafi’s troops on the outskirts of Misrata unleashed more shells into the city Monday following an especially bloody weekend that left at least 32 dead and dozens wounded.

The latest shelling hit a residential area and killed 10 people, including an entire family, according to a doctor in Misrata who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared government retaliation.

Mourners later carried six crudely constructed coffins of family members to a funeral near a mosque.

The battle for Misrata, which has claimed hundreds of lives in the past two months, has become the focal point of the armed rebellion against Gadhafi since fighting elsewhere is deadlocked.

HOUSTON (AP) — Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is set to reach an important milestone this week when she ventures from her Houston rehabilitation hospital for the first time to watch her astronaut husband rocket into space history.

Giffords and her doctors set the Cape Canaveral, Fla., trip as a goal early on in her rehabilitation. It was the hope of her husband, Mark Kelly, too as he trained to lead NASA’s next-to-last space shuttle flight.

On Monday, doctors at TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital confirmed the congresswoman will fly to Florida to watch Kelly command the space shuttle Endeavour when it makes its final flight to the International Space Station.

The doctors said Giffords is “medically able” to travel and that they view the trip as part of her rehabilitation from a Jan. 8 gunshot wound to the head. The congresswoman was wounded in a mass shooting that killed six people in Tucson, Ariz.

It seems an extraordinary accomplishment now, that she would be able to attend the liftoff and that Kelly

would feel comfortable leaving her side to fly into space.

The launch is set Friday afternoon, and President Barack Obama and his wife and two daughters will be there too.

However, it’s unclear whether they’ll sit with Giffords.

Kelly reported his wife said “awesome” and fistpumped when doctors told her she could attend the launch, according to a transcript of an interview with CBS’s Katie Couric that will be broadcast Monday on the Evening News.

For brain injured patients like Giffords, goals and outings are key to rehab. Setting goals helps patients work toward something tangible, doctors say, while trips and outings can be used to reintroduce them to the community and see how they interact in different situations.

“We routinely allow patients outside visits as part of their rehabilitation,” said Dr. Gerard Francisco, lead physician of the brain injury rehabilitation team and chief medical officer at TIRR. Francisco also is chairman of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Medical School.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — When he makes a trip to New Hampshire as a possible presidential hopeful this week, Donald Trump will start his day in Portsmouth, but his schedule is a mystery beyond that.

Tradeport in Portsmouth. Michael Cohen of the Trump Organization says no other details of his schedule will be announced until later that day. He says for security purposes, Trump’s exact whereabouts won’t be publicized.

The real estate mogul and reality TV star also will be speaking at the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce’s annual business expo May 11.

Barack Hoover?

Is the world headed for a debt crisis to dwarf the one that befell us in 2008, when Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson stood aside and let Lehman Brothers crash?

No one knows for certain. As Yogi Berra said, “it’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

But the probability of a financial crisis increased this week after President Obama’s trashing of Rep. Paul Ryan’s deficit reduction plan as dragging us all back to the Dickensian days of “Oliver Twist.” For the savagery of Obama’s attack persuaded Standard & Poor’s to begin to move to downgrade U.S. sovereign debt from the triple-A rating it has held since Pearl Harbor.

The British newspaper The Guardian wrote of the dramatic news: “With the political infighting between the Republicans and Democrats on the deficit now so bitter that there was a risk of the US government being shut down earlier this month, S&P said it had taken the decision to change its outlook because ‘the path to addressing these issues is not clear to us.’” “We believe there is a significant risk,” said S&P credit analyst Nikola Swann, “that congressional negotiations could result in no agreement on a medium-term fiscal strategy until after the 2012 congressional and presidential elections.”

Obama adviser Austan Goolsbee challenged the S&P rating and rationale behind it. “They are saying their political judgment is that over the next two years, they didn’t see a political agreement. ...

I don’t think that the S&P’s political judgment is right.”

But the S&P’s projection of gridlock got support this week when two polls showed that the nation is much closer to Obama’s resistance to Ryan’s plan than it is to Ryan. A Washington Post-ABC News poll found 78-percent of Americans oppose cutting spending on Medicare to reduce the deficit, and 69-percent oppose cutting Medicaid. Obama’s plan to raise taxes on couples earning $250,000 a year or more wins the support of 7percent of voters.

A McClatchy-Marist poll found 2 in 3 Americans favoring raising taxes on those earning more than $250,000 but 4 in 5 voters opposing cutting Medicare or Medicaid.

Obama’s position is in sync with three-fourths of the nation.

Why would he retreat from this unassailable high ground to seek a compromise with a hugely unpopular Republican proposal? Why not pound the Ryan Republicans remorselessly as defenders of the rich and slashers of the social safety net if America agrees with you?

Obama may have found an issue to save his presidency. He is today upside-down in every national poll.

Many more Americans disapprove of the job he is doing than approve.

Why would a president who has lost the support of half his country surrender a strong position that three-fourths of his country agrees with? Democratic allies on Capitol Hill would regard this as madness.

What of the Republicans who appear today to be on the wrong side of the deficit reduction debate?

Will they look at these polls and say, “We must stop trying to reform Medicare and Medicaid and move closer to Obama and impose higher taxes on successful Americans”?

To ask the question is to answer it. Should Republicans revert to their venerable role of pre-Reagan days — the tax collectors for the welfare state — what would be the argument left for the existence of the party?

Not only does S&P’s grim assessment of the prospects for U.S. deficit reduction seem sound. News from across the pond points to a fastapproaching day of reckoning in the financial world. European investors are now demanding and getting 22-percent interest on two-year Greek bonds. And with Greek debt at 150-percent of its gross domestic product — the same as Zimbabwe — the question is no longer whether Athens will default, but when, how and what will be the losses to European citizens, banks and governments who hold Greek paper.

Will Greece be the only domino to fall, or will Ireland and Portugal follow and the contagion spread across Europe and leap the Atlantic?

What makes this appear more imminent was the triumph this week of a Euro-skeptic and ethnonationalist party, the True Finns, which vaulted from five seats in the Helsinki Parliament to 38 and will almost surely be in the new government. High on the True Finns’ agenda: tougher terms for any bailout of Portugal and using Finland’s EU veto to kill Angela Merkel’s plan for a super-bailout fund after 2013. Like other northern Europeans and even Germans in Merkel’s party, the stolid Finns are sick of subsidizing the self-indulgent deadbeats of Club Med. And here is where the risk to Obama comes. Playing off Ryan may be smart short-term politics, but if the world financial system were to come crashing down — in part because of the absence of a U.S. deficit deal — no one would blame Paul Ryan. The Herbert Hoover of that depression would be Barack Obama.

LETTERS Boys & Girls Club has been vandalized and now burglarized To the editor, Three months ago the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region was broken into. Stolen was a new lap top computer that was used by the kids for movies, power point presentations, and our Smart Moves and Netsmartz classes and was our mobile research center.

The new Konnect Xbox 360 which was a favorite with the kids especially on a rainy day when they would use it for “Dance, Dance Revolution“ and other active games was also stolen . And some money of which $60 was stolen out of our collection cans.

In cooperation with the Laconia Police Department, we kept quiet hoping that what was stolen would be recovered. The Laconia Police who are very supportive of the Boys & Girls Club, tried their best to apprehend the

person who burglarized our “home” but no luck. We really appreciate their help. There was just not enough evidence. So I decided to go public not to look for another lap top or Konnect but to voice my complete dismay and sadness that we are so desperate as to steal from kids. I have been here in Laconia for two years and seen our buses tagged and our club burglarized and it just makes me feel angry and sad. I know these are difficult times. I just think that no matter how desperate life is you shouldn’t take it out on kids. If you have any information on the club break-in please contact the Laconia Police Department at 5245287.

When Democrats speak of equality, they’re talking about Marxism To the editor, The New York Times has published articles on the Civil War since Oct. 2010; the April 18 Time Magazine’s Cover shows Lincoln with a tear from his eye, stating, “Why we’re still fighting the Civil War, and a Citizen article, Civil War at 150.

There is focus in these articles about slavery, New York Times heads their article with “Disunion”. Back in the 90s I lent a book on Lincoln published in 1865, (never got that one back either) in which was explained Lincoln’s first concern: Union. What ever the differences to be worked out disunion would never be the answer.

Much is written about “all men are created equal”, which can in itself be dissected, much written about presidents being slave owners themselves; but from where in history we stand beyond the reality of the day it is an endless task to dissect and analyze.

The fact is, prior to the invention of the cotton gin slaves doing field labor was very limited as the economy of owning a slave wasn’t cheap and had been expected to end over time. After the cotton gin production/profit from cotton escalated, but the general population of the south didn’t nor could afford slaves.

The issue of slavery is an issue of

history, a political issue; after all the “Revolutionary War” itself was about the enslavement of the colonists by the king and Parliament. Colonists were demanding their ‘rights’ as British subjects because with them they had a level of equality without them they were no more than slaves.

The Civil War was fought by the Democrats of the ‘South’ who wanted to retain slavery and the Republican North (the Party founded here in New Hampshire) that voted in Republican Lincoln, who was elected to prevent the extension of slavery West and “Disunion”. The Republican president won.

Democrats 150 years later still wish to enslave the “people” via the federal government, referring to equality. Not the equality of the Founders but the equality of Marx, which is determined not by the individual but the government. Today we’ve reached a tipping point, possibly beyond it, enslaved by debt and federal programs our freedom has been erased. We can still vote for fiscal sanity, smaller government and the freedom to control our own income. The Soviet Union lasted 70 years, hopefully the United States will last another 200+.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 26, 2011 — Page 5

LETTER Attack politics won’t work in Gilford superintendent debate To the editor, I have been disturbed by the level of vitriol and the personal attacks that I have recently seen in a number of letters to the editor and heard in public meetings over the issue of the Gilford School District superintendent.

A number of people have advised me to take the high road and not respond to such provocations. However, I was a soldier for over 23 years and a paratrooper, Ranger and Green Beret and thus my temperament and training won’t allow me to back down from a fight. The focus of this letter won’t be the issues as much as the tactics that a number of Gilford residents have chosen to use to support their political position. Before I go any further, let me make it clear that I am writing this as a concerned citizen and not in my capacity as the chair of the Gilford School Board.

I suspect that most readers of this letter are familiar with the issue surrounding the school superintendent position in Gilford. There are those who believe that the vote in March 1998 was a mandate from the voters not only to separate from SAU 30 but also to adopt a management structure that did not include a superintendent which had been proposed by the SAU Planning Committee. They also believe that the vote for Article #4 in the March 2011 was yet another mandate to adopt this management structure. These people have every right to support and advocate this position. However, there are also those who believe that the voters in March 1998 understood that they were voting to separate from SAU 30 and that the School Board would decide later, in accordance with State Law, how to best administer the District. They also believe that the vote for Article #4 in March 2011 doesn’t truly represent a mandate because the issues involved with the warrant article (i.e. the history, the legal ramifications, etc.) had not been clearly and accurately presented to the voters. Furthermore, they believe that, if these issues had been brought to light, there would have been a much higher voter turnout than the 12-percent of registered voters who voted on this article and that the article would have been defeated. The people who believe this also have every right to support and advocate this position.

There will always be disputes in any democracy. However, just because you disagree with someone, this does not justify attempts to demonize that person and attack his or her motives, character or beliefs. Unfortunately, this is the just the tactic that a number of Gilford residents have been repeatedly using – most prominently David Horvath, Doug Lambert, Kevin Leandro, Skip Murphy and Terry Stewart.

Below are a few examples of the corrosive rhetoric and character assassination that they have used to promote their political position.

— In a March 8th letter to The Laconia Sun, Mr. Stewart called Dale Dormondy and Leo Sanfacon “mouthpieces” for the School Board.

— In a March 17th letter to The Laconia Sun, Mr. Stewart wrote “the school board is either arrogant or too

incompetent to do anything but waste our money” — In a March 24th letter to the Gilford Steamer, Mr. Murphy referred to me as Kurt “Let them eat cake” Webber and described the School Board as being “aloof” and “haughty”.

— During the April 4th School Board meeting, Mr. Horvath stridently demanded that I apologize to the voters of Gilford for stating my belief that not all voters were clear about the issues involved with Article #4. (I guess that Mr. Horvath feels like he can speak on behalf of ALL of the voters of Gilford, even the ones who told me and other School Board members that they were confused about this warrant article!)

— In an April 7th letter to The Laconia Sun, Mr. Leandro called Joe Wernig “the School Board’s ever loyal lapdog” and complained about his “slobbering attempt to intimidate me”.

(This is interesting since Mr. Wernig was a very vocal critic of the School Board a few years ago when it decided to eliminate the assistant principal position at GES and the Family and Consumer Science teaching position at GMS).

— In an April 21st letter to The Laconia Sun, Mr. Lambert wrote “the ugly American IS alive and well. He stares back at Mr. Webber every day when he looks in the mirror; shame on him and the rest of his comrades on the school board.”

Such vitriol and personal attacks only arouse passions on both sides and prevent the calm, rational discussion of the issue. It is unfortunate that we see such mudslinging among the professional politicians in Washington. Do we really need this Gilford, where the local politicians are just good citizens who give up their free time to serve the community?

These citizens are not “aloof”, “haughty” or “arrogant” – they are good people who are working hard to do what they think is in the best interests of the Gilford citizens who elected them. While the individuals mentioned above have the right under the First Amendment to make personal attacks and to inflame public passion, I maintain that it is unnecessary and irresponsible to do so. I think the citizens of Gilford deserve, and would prefer, a calm, clear and accurate discussion of the issues.

I would ask the individuals mentioned above to change their tactics and cease their unrelenting personal attacks against those who disagree with them.

Unfortunately, I am not optimistic that this will happen. Instead, I suspect I have just painted an even larger target on my back and will soon receive even more abuse. I can take it. I survived four years at West Point, Ranger training, Special Forces training and a combat tour in Iraq so getting a little “bad press” isn’t so bad. However, I don’t have to like it. Also, I suspect that the majority of the people in Gilford don’t like this form of “attack” politics either. Thus, it turns out to be ineffective because people will (and should) take anything that the folks who practice this form of politics with a LARGE grain of salt.

LETTERS Devaluing human life accompanies modern world’s loss of faith To the editor, According to the Torah, Moses received the Ten Commandments twice (Ex. 20; Deut. 5 ) . The first set of stone tablets revealed the Higher Law. Witnessing his people reveling in idolatry he broke the tablets. Returning from the mountain a second time he carried a different set of laws.

These were carnal commandments.

Two sets of stones with five commandments on each. The first five contained mans relationship with God. The second five dealt with mans relationship with each other. The 6th commandment stated that “thou shall not commit murder”, which is killing of an innocent person. Killing a man who had broken into ones home did not constitute murder. Since it was understood that no one would break into ones home to do good to another.

While the Jews were in bondage to the Egyptians (210 years says Jewish writings) taskmasters picked foremen from among the slaves and would hold them accountable for lack of production. It was these foremen who received the whip for any slack in the work.

It is considered that the modern worlds accelerating loss of faith has been accompanied by an ever increasing lessening in the value of human life. How many baby’s have we murdered since Roe vs Wade? How might America been different had the Ten Commandments not been torn from the walls of our schools. They were a set of laws that connect us with our heritage.

Larry Walker an authority on religion and East Indies studies informed

me that our Constitution can be traced back to ancient Israeli laws.

Linguistic studies have found an association between early Britons and Near East. The Celtic tongue is the oldest living language, say many linguists. Its roots have a connection with ancient Hebrew.

According to the Jewish encyclopedia, vol. 2 pp. 509 and 567 we find definitions of BRIT, BERIT, IAN, and ISH. In ancient Hebrew BRITH means covenant, ISH means man, and AIN means land. So in Hebrew BRITISH means COVENANT MAN and BRITAIN means COVENANT LAND. It is no coincidence that over 6,000 Hebrew words can be found in the Welsh language. Tradition, moral codes and language has many similarities between Britain and the Near East.

It is believed some Israeli tribes escaped Assyria around 600 B.C. and found refuge in Europe and eventually settling in Britain. About 30 years before Moses lead his people during the Exodus some from the tribe of Ephraim escaped. The Egyptians managed to massacre thousands.

This was a bout 1486 B.C. According to Larry Walker many settled in the Ukraine and became scientific farmers. Many of our Founding Fathers were of Welsh ancestry.

We are finding ourselves in the same circle of events that destroyed our ancestors.

A godless philosophy has breached our walls and brought nothing but torment to our nation. Being passive will not make them go away.

Moultonborough Lions Club is great & deserves to be left alone To the editor, I just want to say that the Lions Club is a great organization. They have the most wonderful people who belong to such a nice club. That is one reason why the Town of Moultonborough should leave it alone. Let it be a club where people who live in Moultonborough can use it for special functions, Meals on Wheels, Weight Watchers and bingo, and the Lions Club dinners etc. just to name a few.

We do not need to change it in any way. A senior center with soccer fields and basketball courts is crazy. We do not have that many kids that we need

to do that. Do seniors want to have a little space for them and share it with the kids just? Leave it alone. It will destroy what the Lion’s Club stands for. What were they thinking? Leave a good thing alone. Find somewhere else to do the fields or fix the existing ones. That would be the cheaper and a smarter way to go.

Okay Moultonborough, fight for what is right. Do not ever take this away from these people. Where would they go if you did?

LETTERS Let’s use non-violent intervention to confront leftist attacks To the editor, I had this epiphany after reading Professor’s Sandy’s column regarding the success of non-violent interventions around the world. Why not use these successful techniques on the violence that is being visited upon innocent victims each and every day, right here in this country? I am of course referring to the assaults on women and others by union thugs all across the country including New Hampshire. Not to mention the verbal and physical assaults against tea party members and the ugly racist slurs leveled against black conservatives by liberals, progressives and nanny statists. Whadayathink professor? Am I on to something?

Unfortunately, this action is unlikely to provide Gene Sharpe, the” Machiavelli of Non-Violence”, as you say, with any further recognition and that ever elusive Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, no matter how ultimately successful it may be, the mainstream media won’t cover it until it is too late. So maddeningly ironic it would be that the left, who normally would be Mr. Sharpe’s biggest supporter, will miss the whole story in their shameless, ongoing effort to hide or ignore the increasing violence perpetrated by the left on society. The story will be on talk radio and the Internet long before the leftist media realize that

peace has broken out behind the very walls they have so brazenly erected.

OMG, I just had another epiphany.

How about if you and I and some of your students organize a peaceful, protest rally outside the WMUR, Channel 9, ABC studios. We could demand that the network return to their honest, ethical roots of objective news reporting while providing an open forum for ideas of differing views. Specifically, real diversity of thought that you say is a hallmark of the educational systems you have been a part of for so very long. After all, is it fair that the poor and homeless are not able to get both sides of a story because they may or may not be able to afford basic cable and do not have their own computers? Thankfully, they likely do have access to talk radio. Still, shouldn’t they have at least one television channel that will provide them with information that will allow them to make informed decisions critical to their well being? You know, this exposure just might give Gene Sharpe the publicity he needs to get on the short list of Nobel Peace Prize nominees.

Let’s do it professor and if you have your bull horn handy, well, that would be just dandy. I’ll bring the banners, signs and multicultural candy.

SB-2 is only way to keep Shaker Regional spending in check To the editor, I read T. Gephard’s recent letter and couldn’t agree more with the thoughts. I have been urging for the past two years for the taxpayers to vote to place the Shaker Regional School District under SB-2. It is the only way that we might have a chance to reign in the foolish spending of the district.

After the recent fiasco that was the district meeting I am more than happy to sign any petition to do that.

The town seems to function very well under this system and we are fortunate that at least the selectmen attempt to keep the costs and

taxes down, unlike the school district.

I would like to see a printout of the salaries of the school employees. If the town can do that why can’t the school?

I think we would all be somewhat shocked when we saw it in this day and age of high unemployment and many having gone without a pay raise in many years. I keep hoping to read a new contract is agreed to where the teachers turn down a raise this year or agree to pay more for health insurance. Other districts in the state have done so...why not Shaker Regional?

Undercover investigations result in three women facing drug charges

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TILTON - Police, working in conjunction with Franklin Police, have charged two women with a variety of drug-related charges after a Tilton undercover operation.

Affidavits obtained from the Franklin District Court said Stephanie Patuleia, 22, of 211 Flaghole Road in Andover and Sasha Gray, 23, of Franklin met with an undercover operative on West Main Street in Tilton after securing a one-party wire from the Assistant Belknap County Attorney in January.

In early January, the operative met Patuleia and Gray and the operative gave the two women money

to buy Percoset - a narcotic pain reliever - and marijuana.

The operative gave the women some marked currency and they left to allegedly purchase the drugs but never returned with either the drugs or the money.

For two days the operative allegedly tried to get the two women to either give him the drugs or the money but they refused.

Police also said later that month, Patuleia was going to sell the operative some Ritalin but when confronted about the previous attempted drug sale she allegedly denied having anything to do with it and said she would only sell the operative the drugs.

Both were charged with conspiracy to commit sales of narcotics.

In a similar arrest, an operative made a similar arrangement during the same week with Jessica Case, 27, of 7 Hemlock Circle in Franklin.

Affidavits said police set up surveillance and used an operative to call Case and arrange to purchase some cocaine. The purchase was allegedly completed and the operative gave the drugs to police.

The operative arranged a second buy with Case, this time for the methamphetamine.

On Jan. 7 the two met at a prearranged place and the operative gave Case the money. She allegedly told him she had to have the money “up front” and she would go buy it.

Police said they could hear a small infant crying “hysterically” while they monitored the call.

Police followed Case to an undisclosed Laconia address but when she returned to the meeting place she said her source “was all out.”

Case was charged with once count of conspiracy to commit sales of a narcotic (methamphetamine), sales of a controlled drug (cocaine), and endangering the welfare of a child for selling drugs with a 4-month-old in the car.

All three appeared last week in Franklin District Court.

Sanbornton man alleged to have shoved cell phone in woman’s mouth

SANBORNTON - A Morrison Road man who allegedly choked his girlfriend and tried to force a cell phone down her throat was indicted for one count of second degree assault.

Michael A. Bean, 52, of 219 Morrison Road was also indicted on obstructing the reporting of a crime by allegedly taking the cell phone from the woman as she tried to call police, for resisting arrest, and four additional counts of simple assault.

Indictments handed down by a Belknap County grand jury said Bean allegedly punched his girlfriend in the mouth, dragged her out of bed, pushed her through a door and shoved a cell phone in her mouth during the altercation.

— Gail Ober SHOT from page one He showed them a small cut on his right thumb.

He allegedly told police he hadn’t used the gun in a while and though he knew it was loaded he said he “cocked back the hammer while his middle finger was inside the trigger guard.”

The neighbor said he was sitting in his apartment with his girlfriend when they heard the gun shot.

He showed police where the bullet entered through the south wall and lodged in the west wall approximately four feet from where the two had been sitting. The bullet apparently traveled through Boone’s wall, the hallway and into to neighbor’s apartment.

During their interview of Boone, police affidavits said he told them he was prescribed Ritalin and allegedly said he was to take two pills daily but that he may have taken four or and as many as six in one day because he was “’bored.’”

The landlord also gave police a letter Boone allegedly gave him on April 11 saying ‘”for the past few months I have been using my prescripsee next page

Planning Commission takes stock of priorities in 2011 transportation program

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

WOLFEBORO — With further reductions in road construction funding in the offing, the Lakes Region Planning Commission met last night to approve the 2011 Lakes Region Transportation Improvement Program.

During the past few years, as fiscal constraints have prompted changes to the state’s 2009-2018 ten year highway plan, a dozen projects with an aggregate value of $88.5-million slated for the Lakes Region have been shelved and those that remain have been both reduced in scale and pushed far into the future. Meanwhile, in response to cuts in the coming biennium included in the budget proposed by the House of Representatives, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) has prepared a list of projects that could be dropped from the ten year plan, including the remaining five in the Lakes Region with an estimated cost of $28.2-million.

Among the projects already eliminated from the 2009from preceding page tion drugs inappropriately’” and the abuse had caused him to “’act goofy and bizarre.’”

Boone allegedly admitted to police that he had written the letter.

Judge James Carroll found initial probable cause for his arrest and ordered Boone have no contact with his neighbors, to not possess any firearms and to stay away from alcohol.

There was also a second court order from Carroll but it was not released to the public.

2018 plan are improvements to the NH Route 11 bypass in Alton and Gilford, reconstruction of NH Route 106 in Meredith, and improvements to NH Route 140 in Belmont, NH Route 104 between New Hampton and Meredith and US Route 3 from The Weirs to Meredith.

The proposed Lakes Region 2011 Transportation Improvement Plan lists the five remaining projects — improvements to the intersection of NH Route 28 and Stockbridge Corner Road in Alton at $1.5-million, to NH Routes 106 and 107 in Laconia and Belmont at $3.2-million, reconstruction of NH Route 25 between Center Harbor and Meredith at $5-million and three projects in Ossipee— as its highest priorities.

Although all five are currently included in the ten year plan the DOT warned that they would be eliminated or jeopardized if the cuts recommended by the House are not restored.

Mike Izard of the Lakes Region Planning Commission said that despite recurrent reductions in funding the Transportation Advisory Committee has consistently pursued its priorities. He explained that the commission has concentrated on so-called “lifeline corridors,” or the primary east-west and north-south routes carrying the bulk of the traffic

through and within the region.

At the same time, Izard said that as funding has shrunk, the commission has broken projects into their component parts to match available resources. For example, some seven miles of NH Route 28 in Barnstead and Alton is listed as “major work required/poor condition,” but when the original cost of reconstruction was more than halved, the project was pared to improving the intersection at Stockbridge Corner Road.

Likewise, addressing the convergence of US Route 3, NH Route 104 and NH Route 25 in downtown Meredith, which represents the most significant source of congestion in the region, was originally slated to be a $14-million project. The improvements were envisioned to stretch from the junction of NH Route 104 and US Route 3 northward along NH Route 25 to the Center Harbor town line. The current funding of $5-million, itself at risk, will severely limit the extent of the improvements.

In addition to the highest priorities, the Transportation Improvement Plan includes improvements to NH Route 28 between Alton and Wolfeboro Falls, NH Route 104 easterly from I-93 to Meredith Center Road and NH Route 104 westerly from I-93 to downtown Bristol as secondary priorities.

SYRIA from page one the roofs of houses and high buildings while other security agents searched houses for suspected protesters.

“They are entering houses. They are searching the houses,” said one witness. “They are carrying knives and guns.”

He said people were crying out over mosque loud-

speakers for doctors to help the wounded and there was panic in the streets.

“We need international intervention. We need countries to help us,” shouted another witness in Daraa, who said he saw five corpses after security forces opened fire on a car. He spoke to the AP by telephone.

LACONIA — The Conservation Commission is seeking volunteers for the spring and summer water testing program on Paugus Bay, the source of the city’s drinking water.

The commission will host an open house for prospective volunteers at the Laconia Public Library on Monday, May 2 between 6 and 7:45 p.m.

Robert Craycraft of the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension will explain the workings of the program and the role of volunteers. He joined the New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring Program as an undergraduate at UNH and became familiar with water quality concerns and water quality perceptions of residents, which proved to be an invaluable asset precursor to his employment with Cooperative Exten-

sion in 1991. Following two years as a Water Resources Program Assistant Craycraft assumed his current position of Educational Program Coordinator in 1993 where he continues to work with local residents on lakes and streams throughout the state.

Pat Tarpey of the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association will also be on hand to enroll volunteers. The association began managing and coordinating water quality monitoring in 1982. Today more than two dozen volunteers collect samples at more than 30 sites around the lake from shortly after ice-out until the advent of autumn.

To jump to the front of the line of volunteers, call Scott McPhie at the Laconia Planning Department, 5271264.

Taliban tunnel more than 480 out of Afghan prison

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — During the long Afghan winter, Taliban insurgents were apparently busy underground.

The militants say they spent more than five months building a 1,050-foot tunnel to the main prison in southern Afghanistan, bypassing government checkpoints, watch towers and concrete barriers topped with razor wire.

The diggers finally poked through Sunday and spent 4 1/2 hours ferrying away more than 480 inmates without a shot being fired, according to the Taliban and Afghan officials. Most of the prisoners were Taliban militants.

Accounts of the extraordinary prison break, carried out in the dead of night, suggest collusion with prison guards, officials or both.

Following a recent wave of assassinations here, the breakout underscores the weakness of the Afghan government in the south despite an influx of international troops, funding and advisers. It also highlights the spirit and resourcefulness of the Taliban despite months of battlefield setbacks.

Officials at Sarposa prison in Kandahar city, the one-time Taliban capital, say they discovered the breach at about 4 a.m. Monday, a half-hour after the Taliban say they had gotten all the prisoners safely to a house at the other end of the tunnel.

Government officials corroborated parts of the Taliban account. They confirmed the tunnel was dug from a house within shooting distance of the prison and that the inmates had somehow gotten out of their locked cells and disappeared into the night.

Kandahar remains relatively warm even during winter and the ground would not have frozen while insurgents were digging the tunnel.

Police showed reporters the roughly hewn hole that was punched through the cement floor of the prison cell. The opening was about 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter, and the tunnel dropped straight down for about 5 feet (1.5 meters) and then turned in the direction of the house where it originated.

But access was denied to the tunnel itself, and it was unclear how the Taliban were able to move so see next page

RISK from page one some balls would be caught, but not all. “We’re going to stack 911 calls,” Erickson said, adding “this is unprecedented. Some building fires will get out of control,” he continued, “and non-emergent work will take a backseat.” He said that the department would have to limit its role in the regional mutual aid system to its immediate neighbors — Belmont, Gilford and Meredith.

Erickson detailed the progress achieved in shortening response times, controlling structure fires and handling medical emergencies since the department added four fighters — one per shift — in 2006. “It breaks me down, breaks my heart, ages me to see we’re going backwards,” he said.

After listening with mounting impatience, Cabanel reminded Erickson of the additional firefighters and told him “when you start talking about dooms-

day it doesn’t make any sense to me. It was really difficult to add four firefighters,” she said. “It took you seven years to convince me and it took me time to convince the council. It is hard to deal with talk that it was all for nothing.”

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), who has questioned spending for overtime in the past, said that he still considered it a problem. He pointed out that the Fire Department budget had actually increased $28,000 and asked “why is this report so devastating when the budget is nearly the same?”

Erickson explained that the overtime budget was cut to accommodate a steep increase in health insurance costs.

Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) asked Erickson what steps he would take if it became necessary to reduce the department’s payroll. “I would eliminate a deputy chief ‘s position.”

from preceding page many men out of the prison so quickly. Also unclear was why guards would not have heard the diggers punch through the cement floor, and whether they supervise the inside of the perimeters at night.

A man who claimed he helped organize those inside the prison told The Associated Press in a phone call that he and his accomplices obtained copies of the keys for the cells ahead of time from “friends.” He did not say who those friends were.

“There were four or five of us who knew that our friends were digging a tunnel from the outside,” said Mohammad Abdullah, who said he had been in Sarposa prison for two years after being captured in nearby Zhari district with a stockpile of weapons.

“Some of our friends helped us by providing copies of the keys. When the time came at night, we managed to open the doors for friends who were in other rooms.”

He said the diggers broke through Sunday morning and that the inmates in the cell covered the hole with a prayer rug until the middle of the night, when they started quietly opening the doors of cells and ushering prisoners in small groups into the tunnel.

He said they woke the inmates up four or five at a time to sneak them out quietly. They also didn’t want too many people crawling through the narrow and damp tunnel at one time because of worries that they would run out of oxygen, Abdullah said.

The AP reached Abdullah on a phone number supplied by a Taliban spokesman. His account could not immediately be verified.

The Taliban statement said it took 4 1/2 hours for all the prisoners to clear the tunnel, with the final inmates emerging into the house at 3:30 a.m.

They then used a number of vehicles to shuttle the escaped convicts to secure locations.

Reporters were not allowed into that building, but officials pointed out the mud-walled compound with a brown gate and shops on either side.

The city’s police mounted a massive search operation for the escaped convicts. They shot and killed two inmates who tried to evade capture and re-arrested another 26, said Tooryalai Wesa, the provincial governor.

But there was no ignoring that the Taliban had pulled off a daring success under the noses of Afghan and NATO officials.

“This is a blow,” presidential spokesman Waheed Omar said. “A prison break of this magnitude of course points to a vulnerability.”

At least 486 inmates escaped from Sarposa, most of them Taliban fighters, according to Gov. Wesa. The Taliban said they had freed more than 500 of their fellow insurgents and that about 100 of them were commanders — four of them former provincial chiefs.

Government officials declined to provide details on any of the escaped inmates or say whether any were considered high-level commanders.

Judge sides with players, orders NFL lockout lifted MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — After seven weeks of bitter back and forth, failed talks and growing uncertainty about the 2011 season, a federal judge has ordered an immediate end to the NFL lockout.

But there are many hurdles to clear and questions to answer before pro football is actually back on track.

U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson gave the players an early victory Monday in their fight with the owners over how to divide the $9 billion business, granting their injunction request to lift the lockout.

The fate of next season, however, remained in limbo: The NFL responded by filing a notice of appeal questioning whether Nelson exceeded her jurisdiction, seeking relief from the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis. Hours later, the league filed a motion for an expedited stay, meaning it wants Nelson to put her ruling on hold to let the appeals process play out.

What happens in the next few days is murky, too.

Will players burst through the weight room doors at team facilities and start studying their playbooks?

Or will they keep to the mostly individual routines they’ve developed since the start of the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987?

“We’re in a ‘Wild West’ right now. Football is back to business, but guess what? There’s no rules.

There’s a lot of positive to that, but there’s also a lot of negatives,” said linebacker Ben Leber, one of the 10 plaintiffs in the still-pending antitrust lawsuit filed against the league when the union broke up last month.

Bills safety George Wilson confirmed that the NFLPA emailed players late Monday suggesting they report to work on Tuesday. He said play-

ers were told they should be granted access under normal circumstances and if they are denied access the teams would be in violation of the judge’s ruling.

“We have received inquiry from a number of players and agents. We have simply responded and told them we don’t see anything wrong with it,” NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah said in a text message to The Associated Press. “Players are organizing stuff on their own ...”

Nelson’s ruling was a stern rebuke of the NFL’s case, hardly a surprise given the court’s history with the league and her pattern of questioning during a hearing here three weeks ago in St. Paul, Minn.

In a room packed with lawyers, players and league officials, Nelson politely but persistently questioned NFL lawyer David Boies about his repeated argument that she shouldn’t have jurisdiction over a labor dispute with an unfair negotiation charge against the players pending with the National Labor Relations Board.

In her ruling, Nelson rejected that contention. She recognized the NFL Players Association’s decision to “de-unionize” as legitimate because it has “serious consequences” for the players.

Nelson even referenced her colleague, U.S. District Judge David Doty, who has frequently ruled for the players in the past. Not only did she declare that players are likely to suffer harm by the lockout, a legal requirement for granting the injunction, Nelson wrote that they’re already feeling the hurt now.

She cited their short careers, arguing that monetary damages wouldn’t be enough relief.

What Nelson didn’t do, however, was tackle the issue of the antitrust lawsuit filed last month when the union broke up. That, she wrote, “must wait another day.”

LIBYA from page 3 tank shells, have spurred calls for more forceful international intervention to stop the bloodshed.

In Brussels, a NATO spokesman said the alliance is increasingly targeting facilities linked to Gadhafi’s regime.

“We have moved on to those command and control facilities that are used to coordinate such attacks by regime forces,” the spokesman said of the strike on Bab al-Aziziya, which was hit last month, early in the NATO air campaign. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with military briefing regulations.

Gadhafi’s son, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, struck a defiant tone, claiming Gadhafi has “millions of Libyans with him” and said NATO’s mission was doomed to fail.

“In history, no country has achieved victory with

spies and traitors and collaborators. ... NATO, you are the losers,” he was quoted as saying by the state news agency JANA. The Libyan government said it has been in touch with Russia, China, Turkey, Italy and other countries concerning the NATO strike. The foreign governments were told that “message sent by NATO in the early hours of this morning was sent to the wrong address,” Ibrahim said in a statement.

In Washington on Sunday, three members of the Senate Armed Services Committee said more should be done to drive Gadhafi from power, including targeting his inner circle with airstrikes. Gadhafi “needs to wake up every day wondering, ‘Will this be my last?’” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican on the committee, told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be presenting yourself to people who are distracted, to say the least. Assume that you must capture their attention before you impart anything important.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Simplicity is an ideal that is usually much more difficult to attain than it looks. Your ability to sense what matters and stay on track will be in high demand. You’ll make other people’s lives easier.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Anyone can describe a problem. You take it two steps further, proposing a solution and gaining the cooperation of anyone connected to that solution. It’s why you’ll be paid and paid well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your methods, though not exactly madcap, are somewhat contrary to the conventional approach. This is what earns you fans and friends today, so go with those offbeat instincts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Though you’re all for working smart instead of hard, sometimes there’s just no getting around it. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to get dirty. Today, the smart work and hard work will be one and the same.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 26).

Exercise improves your life -- start a new regime. In the next five weeks, a special relationship thrives. June and July will focus on balancing work and pleasure. You’ll find more effective ways of supporting your hobbies and leisure time. Finances improve with higher education. Virgo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 35, 21, 25, 39 and 15.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be in a mischievous mood, and you’ll have an audience egging you on. This question may cross your mind: Is the world ready for your kind of fun?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The messenger is always in a precarious position. When the news is bad, he gets blamed. And when it’s good, he gets hounded for more. Do yourself a favor and avoid being the messenger today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Tell people how to handle you. You’re a star because of the thing you’re very good at. Let the others know that you want to focus there, because you won’t be in the mood to take on anything else.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be an asset to your group in hectic times. When you need to, you can tap into that relaxed, laissez-faire part of your personality. The more excited things get the calmer you become.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may become genuinely mad about something, but be careful not to lose your composure publicly. Blow off steam in private. Your anger will die down almost as fast as it comes up, and all will be quickly forgotten.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you keep up the optimism over the next three days, things will start to go very well for you. You’ll pull off a few miracles in a row. Not only will you succeed magnificently, but you’ll help those around you to succeed, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know how to tell the truth in a way that is fair and constructive for all involved. Your honesty earns you a place of respect in the hearts, minds and actions of your peers.

TUESDAY PRIME TIME

Today is Tuesday, April 26, the 116th day of 2011. There are 249 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 26, 1986, a major nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl (chur-NOH’bul) plant in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union) as an explosion and fire caused radioactive fallout to begin spewing into the atmosphere. At least 31 people died fighting the plant fire, but the number of other deaths resulting from the disaster remains in dispute.

On this date: In 1607, English colonists went ashore at present-day Cape Henry, Va., on an expedition to establish the first permanent English settlement in the Western Hemisphere.

In 1785, American naturalist, hunter and artist John James Audubon was born in present-day Haiti.

In 1865, John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, was surrounded by federal troops near Bowling Green, Va., and killed.

In 1937, planes from Nazi Germany raided the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. In 1961, Roger Maris of the New York Yankees hit the first of his 61 home runs during a 162-game season (compared to Babe Ruth’s 60 home runs during a 154game season) as he hit a roundtripper off Paul Foytack at Tiger Stadium.

In 1968, the United States exploded beneath the Nevada desert a 1.3 megaton nuclear device called “Boxcar.”

In 2000, Vermont Gov. Howard Dean signed the nation’s first bill allowing samesex couples to form civil unions.

One year ago: A Haitian judge dismissed kidnapping and criminal association charges against 10 American missionaries who’d been detained for trying to take a busload of children out of the country after the Jan. 2010 earthquake, but said that Laura Silsby, the last of the 10 still in jail, would face a lesser charge.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress-comedian Carol Burnett is 78. Rhythm-and-blues singer Maurice Williams is 73. Songwriter-musician Duane Eddy is 73. Singer Bobby Rydell is 69. Rock musician Gary Wright is 68. Actor Giancarlo Esposito is 53. Rock musician Roger Taylor (Duran Duran) is 51. Actress Joan Chen is 50. Rock musician Chris Mars is 50. Actor-singer Michael Damian is 49. Actor Jet Li (lee) is 48. Rock musician Jimmy Stafford (Train) is 47. Actor-comedian Kevin James is 46. Actress Marianne JeanBaptiste is 44. Country musician Joe Caverlee is 43. Country musician Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts) is 40. Rock musician Jose Pasillas (Incubus) is 35. Actor Jason Earles is 34. Actor Leonard Earl Howze is 34. Actor Tom Welling is 34. Actress Marnette Patterson is 31. Actor Channing Tatum is 31.

Free introduction to Qigong offered on Thursday Comedian Juston

MEREDITH — Peter Stekl will be leading a free introductory class on Qigong at the Practice Room in downtown Meredith on Thursday, April 28 from 5:30 to 7 pm. All are welcome. This class will be followed by a “Awakening to the Soul” Qigong workshop on May 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Regular weekly Qigong classes will on Thursday, May 19, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. There will be a fee of $10 per class.

Like in yoga, there are many different types of Qigong, a form of movement arts that originated in China 2,000 years ago. The type of Qigong that Stekl learned from Master Li is called Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong. (Qi means “life force or energy,” and

gong means “the work or practice of” in Chinese.)

Shen Zhen Qigong is a practice that leads to inner transformation through a system of graceful and energizing movements and meditations. Although it appears to be similar to the traditional forms of Chinese Qigong and gives all the benefits such as healing and the strengthening and balancing of the mind and body, the primary purpose of the practice of Shen Zhen Qigong is to enable the practitioner to return to the natural state – to be in the flow, to be happy and contented, to always feel at one with the world – to have the experience of being in a state of grace all the time.

PLYMOUTH — Students in the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Plymouth State University will perform Anton Chekov’s “The Seagull” in the studio theatre at the Silver Center for the Arts April 28 — 30 and May 1.

A profound tale about the very human tendency to reject love that is freely given and seek it where it is withheld, “The Seagull” is a powerful ensemble piece. Chekhov’s dark, symbolist comedy dramatizes the romantic and artistic conflicts among a group of writers, artists, and actors who have gathered on a lakeside estate in Russia. The four main characters are the ingénue Nina, the fading actress Irina Arkadina, her son the symbolist playwright Konstantin Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow storywriter Trigorin. The utter desperation and lovesickness of the characters becomes an epidemic that reverberates within the domestic world of this remote Russian setting.

“The Seagull” is directed by Professor Paul Mroczka who has served Theatre By the Sea as associate director and playwright-in-residence.

Performances are at 8 p.m. on April 28 and 29; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on April 30; and 4 p.m. on May 1.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My in-laws emptied out my husband’s bank account and put thousands of charges on his credit cards.

They refused to return the money, and it took us six years to pay off the debt they incurred.

My in-laws recently retired without any savings and rely on Social Security to make ends meet. It didn’t stop them from remodeling their home via credit cards. Now we are told we must assist them financially during their retirement.

This would cut into our own retirement savings, leaving our future questionable. They claim their children owe it to them in their old age.

We only hear from my in-laws when they want something, and if they don’t get their way, they resort to name-calling.

Are we wrong to refuse? -- Not a Money Tree Dear Not: If your in-laws were destitute because they lost their jobs and savings, we would tell you to help them. But since they have stolen from you and refuse to live within their means, we see no reason to continue pouring money down the sinkhole. Make sure your husband is on board with this, and then suggest his parents seek financial counseling through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc. org) at 1-800-388-2227. Offer to go with them if necessary. Explain that they cannot count on others (even their children) to bail them out repeatedly, and they will benefit in the long run by learning how to live within a budget.

Dear Annie: Birthdays and holidays have always been important in our family, and we never miss an occasion for our nieces and nephews. We always send a gift and keep them posted with current pictures of our children.

However, my husband’s brother and his wife never reciprocate. Our children are only 3 and 6 years old, but they wonder why they get presents from all their relatives except these particular cousins. It bugs me, too, since I go out of my way

to hit the post office to mail stuff to their children. We only get lame excuses from my sister-in-law, who often says she has gifts for the kids, but hasn’t gotten around to sending them.

I know I should let this go, but it bothers me that another holiday season has passed without so much as a current photo. They frequently post pictures on Facebook about the parties they attend and their recent purchases, so I know it’s not a financial issue. And frankly, even a card would be nice.

Should I say something or continue to watch my children’s quiet disappointment? -- Annoyed in the Midwest Dear Annoyed: Your brother already knows they are remiss when it comes to gifts. You cannot demand presents, but you can ask if they would please send a current photograph.

Your other choice is to stop sending their children gifts unless you receive something in return. But please do not encourage your children to make an issue of this. Most kids don’t notice what is missing unless someone points it out.

Dear Annie: You have printed letters from readers whose family members are drug addicts and alcoholics. I am a recovering cocaine addict. I stole from my family to maintain my $100-a-day habit and maxed out all my credit cards. My family put me through drug rehab and talked to me without success. When they finally stopped offering help, I had to make it on my own.

Leaving me to my chosen cocaine world was best. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are absolutely vital in any recovering program. And do not ever stop praying for the addict. Prayers and good intentions by those who loved me helped me through the terrible prison I had placed myself in. I am still sober after 10 years and am back inside my family circle. A drug addict needs to be left alone while he is using, and the rest of the family needs to carry on with their lives. -- P.
