REBATE WHEN YOU BUY FOUR TIRES

GILFORD – Selectmen voted to ask a Superior Court judge to allow the town to hold a special Town Meeting to approve funding for a new fire engine to replace a truck which has major mechanical problems and has been ruled unsafe by state authorities.

The unanimous vote came after more than an hour of discussion and public com-

ment Wednesday evening by both supporters and critics of the move to purchase chase the new truck, estimated to cost between $441,000 and $450,000.

Both Board of Fire Engineers Chairman Bill Akerley and Shawn Mulcahy, the service manager at Lake Region Fire Apparatus in Tamworth, told the selectmen and the 30 people in the audience that spending $50,000 or more to repair the

25-year-old Engine 4 would not be prudent.

“We never thought that Engine 4 was viable to put this kind of money into,” Akerley said. He noted that the cost to repair the fire engine and make it road worthy would amount to 15- to 20-percent of what it would cost to buy a new truck.

In making the motion to seek petition the court for a special town meeting, Selectman Kevin Hayes called for the funding to

come through a bond issue and not by the use of surplus funds.

Wednesday’s vote marked the third time the board has changed its stand on the fire truck purchase. Initially they supported it. But then, during the budget deliberation process prior to Town Meeting it reversed course and voted unanimously to oppose the warrant article calling for the expenditure of $450,000.

New plan is to bring man-made osprey nest closer

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Public Service of New Hampshire and the executive director of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center have decided that if they can’t bring the osprey to an alternative nesting site, they’ll have to bring the nest to the osprey.

The power company, working with Iain MacLeod of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, last week erected a pole

topped with a nest about one hundred yards from the utility pole along North Main Street that a pair of osprey had chosen as their nest site. The theory was that if the ospreys’ nest was removed, the birds would choose to relocate to the nearby nest that MacLeod built.

PSNH’s utility poles mimic the standing dead trees that osprey favor for their nests, and MacLeod has worked with the power company to relocate several nests

in the past. However, past experience proved an inaccurate predictor in this case. “I think every situation is slightly different,” said MacLeod.

Proving his point, the pair in Laconia chose instead to rebuild a nest on the same pole, located on the property that formerly housed the Laconia State School. As PSNH and MacLeod feared, the nest caused a problem on Monday. see OSPREY page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Postal Service is criticizing a bill passed by the Senate that would delay closings of thousands of low-revenue post offices and mail processing centers.

In a blunt statement, the board of governors for the mail agency said the measure “falls far short” and would do little to stem financial losses.

The board also called the Senate bill “totally inappropriate,” saying it would keep unneeded mail facilities open.

Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said if the bill became law, the agency would return to Congress in a few years to get emergency help.

The Senate bill, which passed Wednesday, gives the mail agency an $11 billion cash infusion but bars many closings, requiring further studies instead. The measure now goes to the House, which has yet to consider a separate bill.

During arguments, Supreme Court hints it doesn’t object to key provisions of Arizona’s controversial immigration law WASHINGTON (AP) — Bucking the Obama administration, Supreme Court justices seemed to find little trouble Wednesday with major parts of Arizona’s tough immigration law that require police to check the legal status of people they stop for other reasons.

But the fate of other provisions that make Arizona state crimes out of immigration violations was unclear in the court’s final argument of the term.

The latest clash between states and the administration turns on the extent of individual states’ roles in dealing with the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants.

Immigration policy is essentially under the federal government’s control, but a half-dozen Republican-dominated states have passed their own restrictions out of

frustration with what they call Washington’s inaction to combat an illegal flood.

Parts of laws adopted by Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah also are on hold pending the high court’s decision.

Civil rights groups say the Arizona law and those in some other states encourage racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping, and debate over such laws could have an impact on this fall’s elections. More than 200 protesters gathered outside the court, most of them opposed to the Arizona law.

However, in an unusual comment, Chief Justice John Roberts made clear at the outset of the administration’s argument Wednesday that the court was looking only at state-versus-federal power, not the civil rights concerns that already are the subject of other lawsuits. “So this is not a case

about ethnic profiling,” Roberts said.

That matter dealt with, both liberal and conservative justices reacted skeptically to the administration’s argument that the state exceeded its authority when it made the records check, and another provision allowing suspected illegal immigrants to be arrested without warrants, part of the Arizona law aimed at driving illegal immigrants elsewhere.

“You can see it’s not selling very well,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor told Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. Verrilli tried to convince the justices that they should view the law in its entirety, and as inconsistent with federal immigration policy. He said the records check would allow the state to “engage effectively see IMMIGRATION page 8

WASHINGTON (AP) — Conflicting images of the Secret Service and new questions about the military’s handling of the prostitution scandal in Colombia emerged on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

Senators challenged Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to reconcile the image of agents who protect the president’s life with the dozen officers and supervisors implicated in the sordid affair.

Meanwhile, the Defense Department acknowledged to other lawmakers that

it knew that six military personnel had broken curfew rules prior to President Barack Obama’s arrival at a Latin American summit in Cartagena but let them remain on the job. In addition to the Secret Service officers and supervisors, another dozen military personnel also were implicated in the prostitution scandal. The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., questioned the military’s decision.

“That may have been the right deci-

sion, but it nonetheless raises an interesting question as to whether ... that was an appropriate decision to let them continue on the mission, given the seriousness of the mission,” Levin told reporters.

The Defense Department on Wednesday briefed Levin and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., about its investigation. McCain complained afterward that the Pentagon officials who met with them “provided appallingly little new information” and see SECRET SERVICE page 13

Gilmanton school superintendent will get $34K raise, but no benefits, by spliting 4-day work week with Barnstead

GILMANTON — Two of the smaller school districts in the Lakes Region believe that having their own superintendent has improved the quality of the education they offer and provides better oversight of the operation of their school systems.

Both the Gilmanton and Barnstead school districts used to be part of multidistrict school administrative units – or SAUs — Gilmanton in SAU 30 with Laconia, and Barnstead in SAU 51 with Alton and Pittsfield. But Gilmanton withdrew from SAU 30 nine years ago, and Barnstead left SAU 51 four years ago.

The heads of School Boards in both communities say the change has been for the better.

“We get more local control and we get more dedication” from the superintendent, said Gilmanton School Board Chairman Renee Kordas.

When SAU 79 was established in Gilmanton in 2003 John Fauci, who had been the principal at Gilmanton School, became superintendent. After working full-time (four days a week) as the SAU 79 superintendent, Fauci is scheduled to drop back to working on a part-time basis starting in July. At the same time he is due to become the interim parttime superintendent for SAU 86 in Barnstead.

Plans call for Fauci to work two days a week for each SAU. Kordas expressed confidence that there will be no negative impact as a result of Fauci’s time in Gilmanton being cut in half. “With our present administration team we are in a strong position for this change,” she said.

Fauci’s full-time salary of $86,000 will be reduced to $60,000 with no benefits, Kordas said.

Barnstead School Board Chairman Diane Beijer said Fauci will replace Dr. William Compton, SAU 86’s parttime superintendent, who is retiring.

Fauci has signed a one-year contract with SAU 86 effective July 1. He will be paid another $60,000 for his services to Barnstead, according to Beijer.

She said that even though SAU 86’s superintendent serves part-time, she feels there has been better oversight of the Barnstead Elementary School then when Barnstead shared a superintendent with other towns. She said

the superintendent is now better connected with other school administrators in Belknap County, and as well as being more visible in the town. “The superintendent was not part of the community before. It’s important for people to know who the superintendent is,” she said.

While costs to Gilmanton and Barnstead of having a separate SAU are greater, both school board chairmen say the additional expense is worth it in terms of better operational control and attentiveness to the educational programs.

Kordas is convinced that the level of academic performance by 414 students at Gilmanton School as measured by tests administered under No Child Left Behind has improved since the school district got its own superintendent. “People are coming into the district because of the (standardized test) scores,” she said.

In Barnstead, Beijer believes that in addition to the desire for better local control, voters supported having their own SAU because of the old cost sharing formula when Barnstead was in SAU 51. Under that formula Barnstead was paying 53-percent of the SAU 51 operating costs even though Pittsfield had the larger school system. The last year that Barnstead was in SAU 51 the town paid $219,593 toward superintendent services. Beijer said it now costs Barnstead between $247,000 and $250,000 for those services.

“We could do better,” she said regarding keeping costs as low as possible. She noted that Barnstead has indicated it is interested in sitting down with school officials in Alton to explore possible ways the two districts, along with the Prospect Mountain High School which serves both towns, might share services as a way of controlling costs.

Both towns currently pay for the parttime services of Superintendent Paul Bartolomucci, whose only responsibility is the high school. He is retiring at the end of the current school year.

Gilmanton pays $161,494 to operate SAU 79. By comparison it paid $98,108 for services during the 1999-2000 school year, the last year it was part of Laconia-based SAU 30.

But Kordas says the value the district has received in terms of local control and academic performance outweighs the additional cost.

Guys dumber than dogs I went to a strip club once. OK, maybe it was twice. The guys were going; I was curious. It reminded me of the first time I walked into a casino, in a hotel in Reno where I was staying on business. I expected glamour, James Bond look-alikes in dashing tuxedos. I found sad-looking seniors throwing away their Social Security money and standing in line for cheap buffets.

Even “high-end” strip clubs are full of sorry women.

Having taken gym at a public school, shared communal bathrooms at a women’s college and belonged to endless health clubs in my neverending efforts to shape up, the sight of an unclothed female body doesn’t do anything for me. So, when faced with strippers hoping to chat up customers between sets, I did what I usually do: chat, ask questions.

Treated like human beings, the strippers I met responded that way.

They told me about the kids they were trying to support, the husbands and boyfriends who would beat them if they came home empty-handed, the dream that one of the jokesters tucking a bill into their G-string would make them a star.

When I had a radio show, I would periodically interview prostitutes from Nevada, where they conduct their business legally. No Julia Roberts-like “Pretty Woman” there, either: glazed eyes, bad bleach jobs, too much silicone, faces hard beyond their years, and bad boyfriends, greedy bosses and kids at home they were trying to support.

After a while, it got pretty boring.

I get it. These are girls, and women, who can make more selling their bodies than selling soap or flipping burgers. They tell themselves stories — like the Colombian “escort” who is insulted that people would call her a “prostitute,” explaining to a reporter that an escort is someone “a man can take out to dinner.” She insisted, “It’s the same, but it’s different. It’s like when you buy a fine rum or a BlackBerry or an iPhone.

They have a different price.”

The Secret Service agents (and, apparently, military personnel) who brought as many as 21 “escorts” back to their hotel were not coming home from a nice dinner with women who expected payment unbeknownst to them. At least one of the stops that night was the

Pley Club, a striptease/brothel joint whose owner told reporters that if the men had met the women there, there would have been no debate as to price — because they would have charged “the gringos” at the bar before they left. The fight was not about whether the man involved was willing to pay; it was about how much. He thought the woman was worth $30. She had a higher estimate of her worth.

I’ve yet to see any reports about whether there were any women in those Secret Service or military details. But I’ve been around enough bad behavior in my professional career to know that if there were, they probably are used to doing what I’ve done in such situations: Eat at your hotel, watch some television, and go to bed early.

Talk to some women who’ve worked in the boom-boom rooms on Wall Street, and they’ll explain it to you. I get that, too. You don’t get ahead by acting like a “prude.”

The women who sell their bodies, and the women who work with the men who buy them, all have pretty easily understood economic reasons for doing what they do.

What I’ve never really understood are the men.

It can’t be glamour, because there is none. Ego? That a woman will have sex with you when you’re drunk out of your mind and paying her? Risk?

Even for daredevils, there have got to be highs with more upside and less downside. The downside here, obviously, is that you disgrace yourself and your country and possibly endanger the president, not to mention STDs, HIV and the rest. For better or for worse, there usually are women who are willing to play and who pose less of a risk.

So what’s left? I know: Men are animals.

As an animal lover, I don’t buy it.

Based on what we’ve learned so far, it’s an insult. These guys were definitely dumber than my dogs — and much more dangerous.

LETTERS I apologize to Gilford for my intrusion on your recycling center To the editor, This past Saturday evening I had the pleasure of a flooded kitchen due to a malfunctioning dishwasher. A trip to Lowe’s in Gilford for parts and was unsuccessful, so I did what most resourceful people would. . . I went to the dump in search of a junk one — hopefully the same type with parts that might work.

Normally, I would ask the attendant if I could have parts, but they were closed by then and closed Sunday also! So I drove into the woods near Meadowbrook, past two people raking leaves, and into road-sized trails with no signs or gates, etc. of any kind.

And I proceeded to walk to the dump, past the firing range. As I walked by, there was a lot of spent casings on the ground that were tarnished. Thinking that was a waste and having been recently unemployed with four kids to feed, I picked up the brass — 1 1/2 hours of work, not an easy or fun job!

But it would help pay for gas, etc. Then I went over to the metal/appliances pile, found a discarded dishwasher and removed what I hoped would be a useable PLASTIC pump unit and a water inlet valve. I did notice that there was a lot of good salable scrap laying around — i.e. copper pipes on water tanks, electrical cords on appliances, etc. Most recycling stations that try to reduce costs will remove and store that and sell it, while the remainder gets crushed and shredded and sold for little money or maybe even pay to haul off. I touched none of it!

As I finished removing the plastic nozzle inside the unit, I looked up to see the dog barking and Gilford Police Department telling me to come over. I was arrested. I spoke openly of why I was there, and asked not to have my car towed. The process went smoothly, they took pictures of everything, kept my tools, and provided me a ride back to my vehicle. They were professional and courteous and although I was embarrassed, we joked a bit about it, and went our separate ways.

Well, I was very surprised to find my name and mug shot plastered all over

the Sun, Citizen, and Union Leader on Monday and Tuesday. The embarrassment and shame I feel is tremendous, not to mention any job prospects are slim now! The statements made

by Officer Parent to the Union Leader — that I was found in the kitchen of the recycling center and stealing parts to sell and that I have been charged with stealing in other towns — is false.

Twenty-five years ago, at age 18, I got in trouble for stealing in Belmont — something I paid for and had moved on.

I did not go to the Gilford dump to steal your metal (and how much could I possibly carry a supposed one-half mile through the woods with “my little tool bag” in my hands as well?)!

Yes, I made a poor judgement about when I went, but never did I expect this kind of situation to unfold. As I told both officers, there were other things I’d rather be doing on a Saturday afternoon. For having tied up two officers, two dogs, and a state trooper for a couple hours to search my whereabouts, I am sorry. I apologize for picking up the brass that the officers were too lazy to bother with also, as had they done that, it could be sold to pay or defray the costs for training ammo.

And for salvaging plastic dishwasher parts to fix mine (if they even worked), I am sorry. If I had gone there during normal hours, then it would have been considered recycling and not stealing.

To the landowners of the property I crossed, I also apologize. However, perhaps if you posted a sign, people would know that it is not just woods and trails, but private property. I’m not saying what I did was right but trying to get by in tough times and being resourceful should not result in misleading press releases trying to glorify the waste of taxpayer dollars while trying someone in the press — that’s what courts are for. Get your officers to pick up brass and have attendants remove valuable metals from items discarded and the town may actually save some taxpayers money. Meanwhile, I’ll be doing dishes by hand!

LETTERS Window of opportunity for us to escape Europe’s fate is narrowing To the editor, The so called “Buffett Rule” to have the “rich pay their fair share” would have the same effect as sending a million starving people to a buffet table only to find a few measly crumbs. Paradoxically named after Warren Buffett who lamented paying less taxes than his secretary while simultaneously fighting efforts to pay the billion dollars in back taxes that he owes.

The impact of this plan would be to net about $46-billion over 10 years while impacting 0.3-percent of taxpayers. According to the Congressional Budget Office and based on President Obama’s 2013 budget, it would reduce by 0.7-percent the $6.4-trillion project deficit over the next 10 years. This is nothing but a “rounding of a rounding error” to quote Charles Krauthammer.

Equivalent to about one days’ worth of lunch money for my grandkids.

In a September 26, 2011 address, our dear leader asserted that the fairness principle if applied to the tax code would raise enough money to pay for job growth and stabilize debt and deficits for the next decade. Well, I guess it’s not like he promised to lower the ocean levels and heal the planet. The Buffett Rule for those paying attention is a thinly disguised way to double down on capital gains. Never mind that history has shown that this tax hike reduces the amount of revenue that will be added to the treasury due to a shrinking pool of capital. Recent history reveals economic boom periods after the Kennedy and Reagan tax cuts which put more revenue into government coffers. Economists Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell have documented these facts many times over the past couple of decades.

On an April 16, 2008 ABC interview, Charles Gibson presented Senator Obama with the following factual information: President Clinton in 1997 lowered the capital gains tax to 20-percent and then President Bush lowered it again to 15-percent, which increased revenues both times. When rates were raised in the 1980s, the revenues went down. He then asked Senator Obama, “why raise taxes at all when one hundred million people own stocks?” His answer and I quote, “I would look at raising capital gains taxes for purposes of fairness”. When surveyed recently, 60 to 70-percent of citizens, acquiescing like Kool-Aid drinking cult worshipers, think the Buffett Rule would be a good thing for rich and poor alike. Please give a big assist to the compliant and complicit media, other than Fox news and conservative talk radio, who breathlessly hide the truth from the naive public.

Liberal economists like Paul Krugman, who blindly believe that a socialist model is the way to go despite centuries of evidence to the contrary,

preach about high tax rates in the 25 years after World War II as the reason for that period of great prosperity.

According to the real facts espoused recently by Charles Krauthammer, those were years of tremendous growth in spite of the high tax rates which affected merely hundreds of folks back then. He asserted that the boom happened because Japan and Germany were in ruins, Great Britain was bankrupt and Europe was hopelessly down and out. America had no competition which is an historical anomaly that will likely never happen again. Check out some of the many brilliant economics professors at George Mason University if you want or need more proof that this administration is nothing more than a fiscal ship of fools leading us into financial Armageddon.

As we all know, most of Europe is again down and out, worse off than ever, having collapsed under the weight of an unsustainable socialist system. We are not very far behind and so the window of opportunity to escape the same fate is closing rapidly.

Another four years under the regime of President Obama may close that window permanently. President Bush set a new record for reckless spending by saddling this country with $4-trillion in debt in just eight years. President Obama broke that record in less than four years by adding another $5-trillion in debt. Just imagine what he would do with four more years and no re-election to worry about. Oh, and just imagine how many entrepreneurs and investors will be clamoring to do business in a country which has the highest corporate tax rate and the fourth highest capital gains tax in the industrialized world!

America, do not fall for our presidents’ clever misdirections, class warfare and shameless attacks on all who dare to disagree with him. A prime example of that is his disgraceful attacks on Paul Ryan and his plan to turn our titanic ship around by claiming he and Republicans want to throw granny off a cliff while having no concern for the elderly, disabled and poor. It’s a great way to distract us from remembering that we are in the slowest recovery since the great depression despite profligate spending that will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren. Or that we have been in the longest period of unemployment over 8-percent since World War II. Liberals, Democrats and socialist lovers have been put on notice. Those who seek the truth and the preservation of this republic are going to call you on every lie, high crime and misdemeanor that you try to stealthily perpetrate on an unsuspecting populace.

A fake great horned owl might keep ospreys away from pole To the editor, I have a few suggestions regarding the osprey trying to build their nest on top of the utility pole. I’m watching The Daily Sun and Channel 9, and hope I may have some helpful hints.

Try removing the nest on the util-

great horned owl in its place. I live by the Chemung State Forest in Meredith. Years ago there was a blue heron rookery here, where many heron came back each spring to nest and raise their young. It was an amazing sight.

How the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program helped to save Lakes Region In recognition of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services’ 25th Anniversary, over the course of the year, I will highlight 25 agency activities, programs, projects and accomplishments of the past 25 years.

This article relates to the improvements to waters in the Lake Winnipesaukee River Basin that have resulted from the development and operation of DES’s Winnipesaukee River Basin Program wastewater system.

Prior to the 1980s, fish kills, algae blooms, bad odors, and beach closures due to bacteria contamination caused by polluted water were regular occurrences in Lake Winnipesaukee, Lake Winnisquam, as well as the Tioga and Winnipesaukee Rivers. In many locations, the water consistency was regularly described in the summer months as “pea soup” due to high algae levels.

For decades, algae blooms caused by poor water quality in Lake Winnisquam required control by annual applications of massive quantities of copper sulfate powder that was dropped from boats and then mixed into the water by propellers. The principal culprits were sewage discharged from municipal facilities that provided only minimal treatment as well as septic systems located on lots too densely packed to support proper onsite wastewater disposal.

In 1972, the governor and General Court determined that a regional solution was necessary and that the best way would be to give this responsibility to the Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission (predecessor to the Department of Environmental Services). So, the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP) was established to plan, construct and operate wastewater facilities in partnership with the local communities. This resulted in the construction over the next 20-plus years of a wastewater treatment plant in Franklin, 14 wastewater pumping stations, and over 60 miles of sewer lines.

The project culminated in 1993 when the Gunstock Recreation Area

was connected to this system, thus eliminating the last major direct discharge to Lake Winnipesaukee.

The total cost was over $75-million, with about 75-percent provided by federal grants, 20-percent by state grants and 5-percent by local funds.

Operating costs and debt service are now shared by the 10 communities served by the WRBP system.

The results of these efforts have been very dramatic. The water environment has improved and water bodies across the entire Lakes Region have been opened up to recreational uses including fishing, swimming and boating in areas where activities had previously been limited for decades. New Hampshire’s Lakes Region now has a vibrant tourist industry focused on water recreation. And, economic development has occurred that has been supported by construction of miles of new sewers connected to the WRBP system. The WRBP continues to be a critical, if unseen, cog in the Lakes Region’s economy.

But the WRBP faces challenges going forward because its infrastructure is aging — its major facilities range in age from 30 to 40 years. In fact, over the last five years, two major upgrades have occurred at the treatment plant and a third is underway. The 10 municipal members of the WRBP Advisory Board and DES staff are working closely together to ensure that future investments occur in a timely, appropriate and affordable fashion to make sure that this operation remains effective and efficient.

As DES celebrates its 25th Anniversary, the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program demonstrates the commitment of DES and our Lakes Region community partners to preserving the quality of the lakes and rivers in the Winnipesaukee River Basin that are so vital to the long-term health, prosperity and quality of life of all of New Hampshire’s citizens.

LETTERS Thank you Ray Corliss & others for honoring Wanda Tibbetts To the editor, The Lakeport Community Association thanks Ray Corliss and the LA East Band for their tribute to our late president, Wanda Tibbetts.

Corliss and band members, Arthur James, Bill Fitzmorris, Scottie Groleau and Jackie Lee orchestrated a fund-raiser pot luck dinner featuring their rhythm and blues music at the Leavitt Park clubhouse on April 21 to add to donations for a flag pole and a flower garden in Lakeport Square in her memory.

Many know of Wanda’s civic-minded ways when it came to her beloved home town, Lakeport. From rehabilitating the Lakeport Freighthouse, planting flowers and shrubs in Torrey

Park, raising flags on a new Elm Street Bridge, cleaning Bond Beach, serving Leavitt Park, to saving old treasures like the Goss Reading Room and the “Hathaway House”, she left her trail of good deeds.

Thank you Ray Corliss, LA East and all others who are still honoring Wanda Tibbetts’ memory. Any others wishing to contribute may do so by contacting the Lakeport Community Association, Railroad Avenue, PO Box 6015, Lakeport, NH 03246 or call 524-7683. Or come meet us Saturday, April 28 at our yard sale.

Lynch retires from Bank of N.H. board

LACONIA — After serving 20 years on the Bank of New Hampshire Board of Directors, Dave Lynch has retired.

Under a bylaw of Bank of New Hampshire, which was chartered in 1831, and whose incorporation documents were signed by then New Hampshire Speaker of the House Franklin Pierce, a Bank of New Hampshire director may only serve until he or she is 75 years old. During his tenure, Lynch has he has served on the investment, audit, nominating and budget committees over the years.

Lynch is the founder of the accounting firm, Denoncourt, Waldron & Sullivan, P.A, which he started in 1981.

He was elected as a corporator for Laconia Savings Bank in 1983.

Lynch has spread his expertise to several organizations throughout the Lakes Region including serving time on both the board of directors for the Lakes Region United Way and LRGHealthcare.

“We would like to extend a very warm thank you to Dave for his many years of advice and guidance. He will be missed and we wish him and his wife Marilyn much happiness in the future,” stated Mark Primeau, president & CEO for Bank of New Hampshire.

Bank of New Hampshire was founded in 1831 as Meredith Bridge Savings Bank and then changed its name to Laconia Savings Bank in 1869.

IMMIGRATION from page 2 in mass incarceration” of immigrants lacking documentation.

He said the law embodying Arizona’s approach of maximum enforcement conflicts with a more nuanced federal immigration policy that seeks to balance national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, human rights and the rights of law-abiding citizens and immigrants.

But Roberts was among those on the court who took issue with Verrilli’s characterization of the check of immigration status, saying the state merely wants to notify federal authorities it has someone in custody who may be in the U.S. illegally. “It seems to me that the federal government just doesn’t want to know who’s here illegally and who’s not,” Roberts said.

Verrilli did not mention Wednesday that the administration has deported nearly 400,000 people a year, far

more than previous administrations, although the information was included in written submissions to the court.

The other provisions that have been put on hold by lower federal courts make it a state crime for immigrants not to have registration papers and for illegal immigrants to seek work or hold jobs. Arizona’s Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the law two years ago, was at the court Wednesday.

Arguing for Arizona, Paul Clement said the state law mirrored federal immigration law and that the state it took action because, with its 370-mile border with Mexico, Arizona “bears a disproportionate share of the costs of illegal immigration.”

But Roberts expressed unease with the state’s focus on illegal workers.

“The State of Arizona, in this case, is imposing some significantly greater see next page

from preceding page a great horned owl moved into one of the nests and the heron never came back. To this day, the heron nests remain empty. So, I can only assume a great horned owl would trump an osprey, as well.

Also, as an observer not an expert, I am wondering if the helpers could put up a couple of platforms, but not put a nest on them? Maybe the osprey won’t

move into an established (used) nest.

I do know many birds like to start from scratch, and are not interested in a nest that is already in place. It’s part of nature’s process for the birds to bond over building their home.

I hope these amateur tips might be of some help!

Shaker superintendent wannabe quits current job while under fire

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — The Shaker School District superintendent finalist whose name was removed from consideration because of suspected financial irregularities has quit his superintendent’s job in the southern part of the state, according to published reports.

Trevor Ebel submitted his resignation as superintendent of the WiltonLyndeborough School District and the district’s school board accepted the resignation unanimously Tuesday, the New Hampshire Union Leader and Nashua Telegraph reported in their editions Wednesday.

Ebel was one of two finalists for the job to head the Shaker Regional School District which serves Belmont and Canterbury. Just days after Ebel and the other finalist, Stacy Buckley met the public reception in Belmont, Buckley withdrew as a candidate. from preceding page sanctions,” he said.

Alone among the justices, Antonin Scalia appeared ready to uphold the entire law, which he described as an effort by Arizona to police its borders.

When Verrilli said that Arizona’s immigration law could raise foreign policy concerns, especially with Mexico, Scalia said, “So we have to enforce our laws in a manner that will please Mexico. Is that what you’re saying?”

Outside the courthouse, more than 200 protesters gathered. The law’s opponents made up a clear majority of the crowd, chanting and carrying signs such as “Do I Look Illegal To You?” Some shouted “shame” at Brewer when she emerged from the building after the argument.

Brewer told reporters she was “very, very encouraged” by the justices’ questions.

Republicans have far outpaced Democrats in pushing tough antiimmigration laws, posing potential political problems in some states for GOP candidates including Mitt Romney. The Republicans’ aggressive stand has alienated many Hispanic

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 26, 2012 — Page 9

Then, almost simultaneously the Shaker School Board learned Ebel was under scrutiny for suspected misuse of Wilton-Lyndeborough funds, prompting the Shaker Board to drop him from consideration.

At issue was whether payroll advances taken by a Wilton-Lyndeborough district employee violated policy, and whether the use of the district’s credit card for expenditures such as liquor and limousines during several out-of-state conferences, and paid for by federal grants, was inappropriate.

The Shaker School District is now in the process of looking for an interim superintendent to head the district for the 2012-13 school year. The district’s current interim superintendent, Tom Haley, is working on a contract which runs through the end of June, and he has told the board he does not want to renew the contract for another year.

voters, one of the electorate’s fastestgrowing segments.

President Barack Obama won twothirds of the Hispanic vote in 2008, and hopes to do better this fall. In the GOP primary contests, Romney took the harshest anti-illegal immigration stance among the top contenders, but he has had little to say lately on the issue. Romney has not taken on stand on legislation proposed by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., that would allow some undocumented immigrants a chance at visas to remain in the United States.

More than a decade ago, Republicans were making inroads among Hispanic voters. President George W. Bush, a former Texas governor, favored comprehensive immigration reform that could have established pathways to legal status for millions of illegal immigrants. But staunchly anti-illegal immigration forces gained influence in the GOP, and the reform plans were dropped.

Hispanic voters are especially important in a few battleground states that will help determine the Nov. 6 presidential election.

GILFORD — The Wal-Mart store on Lake Shore Road was briefly evacuated of shoppers and employees yesterday after a strange odor was noticed and some employees began to feel ill. The building was re-opened in short order, though, after fire fighters determined that there was no air quality concern.

Gilford Fire Lieutenant Frank Latosek said the department received a call at about 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday reporting an unusual smell and symptoms of illness. The store’s fire alarm system was

activated to help facilitate evacuation.

Fire personnel evaluated the few employees, who Latosek said were reporting headaches, and found they did not require further treatment. Meanwhile, fire personnel tested the air quality in this building and did not discover any harmful contaminants.

Within a half-hour of the original call, the building was re-opened for business.

GILFORD from page one sequently, the voters defeated the warrant article.

Critics of the purchase said the Fire Engineers and others supporting the new truck were overstating the seriousness of Engine 4’s condition. They further charged that whatever the deficiencies of Engine 4 had were the result of poor routine vehicle maintenance and sloppy or incompetent inspection.

In response to a question from Budget Committee member Kevin Leandro, Akerley acknowledged that Engine 4 had passed an inspection three weeks ago, just over one week before it was ruled a road hazard by a state inspector. Akerley would only say that the inspection took place at an “outside agency” which he declined to identify. He did say that authorities were looking into how that truck was able to pass inspection

only days before it was ordered off the road.

Leandro, who vigorously opposed the effort to purchase new truck in the run-up to the March Town Meeting, laid the blame for the situation at the Fire Department’s door. “This is indicative of a lack of maintenance by the Fire Department.” He alleged that the fact that a state highway enforcement official was the one called in to look at the truck and then pulled its inspection sticker was suspect.

“Someone is trying to grab headlines and playing politics here,” he charged before Selectmen Chairman Gus Benavides said the remark was out of order.

Pat LaBonte, another Budget Committee member who also opposed the earlier move to purchase a new truck, said that more diligent maintenance see next page

Healthy Eating Active Living grant will have Laconia Parks & Rec focusing on area around Wyatt Park

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Laconia Parks and Recreation Department has received a grant from Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) NH, which will be used to help start a community coalition of people and organizations.

The two-year grant provides about $10,000 in funds and over $60,000 of training and technical assistance according Amy Lovisek, assistant director of the department .

She said the geographic area from which the coalition will draw members has not yet been finalized but would extend to areas within walking distance of Wyatt Park.

The goal of the grant program is to help communities identify and implement municipal strategies – such as adding bike paths, sidewalks, and farmers markets – to provide more choices for residents to eat healthy and be physically active. ‘’We’re looking at developing an action plan and a sustainable community coalition made up of people from the neighborhood who will get out and talk to their neighbors and help build a sense of community’’ said Lovisek.

One of the initial elements in developing an action plan will be a neighborhood survey in which people from preceding page would have prevented many of truck’s problems from becoming so serious.

Akerley said that while the lessons from the problems of Engine 4 would undoubtedly lead to new procedures and better accounting of the condition of fire equipment he also said that except for routine daily truck checks, the maintenance of the fire apparatus was the responsibility of the town’s Highway Department and outside vendors.

Other who turned out for the meeting defended the purchase of the new truck. Mark Corry said it “was time for selectmen to move (on the purchase) and move quickly. Let’s not dilly-dally,” he said.

Tim Sullivan said repairing Engine 4 made no sense. “This truck is a piece of junk. Buying a new truck is the least expensive way to go.” Sullivan also pointed to the selectmen’s decision prior to Town Meeting to go on record as opposing the purchase

will be asked about their use of sidewalks and parks and whether or not they feel safe when they do go outside of their homes. ‘’We want to know if people are using the sidewalks and parks and if they’re not using them what are the things we can do to encourage them to use them,’’ said Lovisek.

She says the grant will be discussed in more detail when the Parks and Recreation Commission meets on Thursday, May 10 at the Community Center beginning at 7 p.m.

HEAL currently provides funding and support to seven community coalitions, reaching more than 50 cities and towns in New Hampshire. Their work is helping to further the vision of healthy people in healthy places by providing more convenient, affordable and safe access to healthy foods and physical activity.

A model example is the Upper Valley HEAL coalition whose community partners represent municipalities, schools, early childcare, health care, workplaces, local food groups, recreation and residents. Among the many projects Upper Valley HEAL is working on is improving pedestrian and bicycling pathways between the town centers and neighborhoods of Lebanon and West Lebanon via the Mascoma River Greenway. of the truck, prompting Sullivan to tell the board, “I told you so.”

Town Administrator Scott Dunn told selectmen it would probably be mid-May before the town could get a hearing before a judge in Belknap County Superior Court to request permission to hold the special Town Meeting. He said the process would be just like the annual Town Meeting in March and would be conducted under SB-2 rules. Dunn said that if the judge approves the special meeting a public hearing would have to be held on the bond issue. Then a deliberative session would have to take place at least one month before the actual voting.

Akerley said that assuming voters approve the purchase it would take 10 months to a year before the new truck would be delivered. In the meantime, he said the department would either have to borrow or rent a truck to replace Engine 4.

TASTE OF THE C-MAN Ice Cream Apprentice & Iron Chef Competition The Comm on M an A ppr ent ic e

Red Sox survive late rally to beat Twins, 7-6 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Aviles homered and the Boston Red Sox bullpen just barely avoided another big collapse in a 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.

Alfredo Aceves struck out Denard Span with the bases loaded in the ninth inning for his fourth save in six chances as the Red Sox completed the sweep.

Dustin Pedroia tripled, doubled and singled for the Red Sox. The Twins have dropped five in a row.

Clay Buchholz (2-1) had another shaky outing for the Red Sox, giving up five runs on 10 hits with three walks in 5 1-3 innings.

The Red Sox led 7-1 after five innings, but their beleaguered bullpen was able to hang on with 3 2-3 scoreless innings of relief.

Aceves walked Trevor Plouffe, gave up a hit to Ryan Doumit and hit Alexi Casilla in a tense ninth inning. But he got Span to chase a pitch up and out of the zone to escape the jam.

Joe Mauer had two hits and two RBIs and Anthony Swarzak pitched three innings of scoreless relief to keep the Twins in the game after another terrible outing from their starting pitcher.

Liam Hendriks (0-1) gave up seven runs on nine hits and two walks in four innings.

Aviles hit a three-run homer in the second inning and the Red Sox were cruising with a six-run lead heading into the sixth. But after the Sox blew a 9-0 lead against the Yankees on Saturday, no one was taking anything for granted.

Buchholz needed all the cushion he could get, and

so did the Boston bullpen, which entered the night with the worst ERA in the American League. Buchholz carried a 9.00 ERA into the game, with his confidence in his changeup shaken and still smarting from giving up five home runs in a 6-2 loss to the Yankees last week.

Buchholz danced in and out of trouble for the first five innings, stranding eight runners on base before getting knocked out in the sixth. The right-hander gave up an RBI double to Span and left after walking Jamey Carroll to load the bases with one out in the sixth. Bobby Valentine went with righty Scott Atchison to face the lefty Mauer, who ripped a single back up the middle to score Casilla.

Valentine then went to the rookie lefty Justin Thomas against the lefty Justin Morneau, who hit the first pitch off the wall in right-center field for a double to make it 7-5.

Thomas then hit Chris Parmelee in the helmet with a pitch. The crowd grew hushed after the ball slammed off the bill of Parmelee’s helmet and bounced all the way over to the Red Sox dugout. Parmelee left the game for precautionary reasons, and the team said he would be reevaluated on Thursday.

Matt Albers then gave up a single to Plouffe to make it 7-6, but got Sean Burroughs to ground into a double play to end the inning with Boston still in front.

Vicente Padilla, Franklin Morales and Aceves each pitched an inning of scoreless relief and the runs surrendered by Atchison, Thomas and Albers were charged to Buchholz.

OSPREY from page one by heavy rains, the sticks and twigs caused two power outages, affecting 1,100 customers. Fortunately, the birds were unhurt in the incident. To prevent further risks to both the osprey and the power grid, power company crews again removed the nests and re-engineered the pole so that it was no longer accommodating to nests.

Not easily deterred, the osprey simply moved to another pole in the same area instead of taking to the man-made nest. Referring to the male of the pair, the one who continues to construct the nests, MacLeod said, “He’s clearly got a particular spot in mind. Instinct is telling him where that nest should be.”

MacLeod and PSNH have decided that, instead of fighting instincts, to try sweetening the deal for the birds. Soon – later this week, they hope – a crew from PSNH will pluck the 40-foot pole and MacLeod’s nest from the ground and move it much closer to the power lines that the birds have taken such a shining to.

“I would be absolutely astonished,” said MacLeod, if the osprey don’t jump on the chance to move into a ready-made nest, one featuring amenities such as vertical supports to prevent wind damage, a sturdy

perch where the male can land with his freshlycaught fish and a predator guard to ward off hungry racoons.

The return of osprey to New Hampshire, after being nearly exterminated from the state just a few decades ago, is an achievement for which MacLeod said PSNH can take some credit – the company, as a partner in Project Osprey, as gone to considerable lengths to accommodate the birds, which often mistake their poles as a safe place to lay eggs and nurture chicks.

With those eggs in mind, MacLeod and PSNH are hurrying to find a resolution that the osprey will find agreeable. Other local osprey pairs, those with stable nests, have already laid their eggs for the year and MacLeod suspects the female of the Laconia pair is due any day now. Because the birds only lay a few eggs each year, and only one of those three is likely to survive its first fall migration to South America, he would like to the birds settle down in time. “If he doesn’t get something where she’s safe and she can lay her eggs, they might not be successful this year.” Even so, MacLeod is sure that the pair will eventually take to the nest, next year if not sooner. “They could be very successful for many years to come,” he said.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, April 26, 2012— Page 13

Caps end Bruins defense of cup in OT, 2-1 BOSTON (AP) — Joel Ward slammed home a rebound at 2:57 of overtime to give Washington a 2-1 victory over Boston on Wednesday night, sending the Capitals to the second round of the playoffs and ending the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins’ hopes of a repeat.

Rookie Braden Holtby stopped 31 shots for Washington in Game 7 — the seventh one-goal game of the series. Matt Hendricks scored the Capitals’ other goal.

Tyler Seguin scored, and Tim Thomas made 26 saves for Boston.

It was the first time in NHL history that a playoff series had seven games determined by one goal.

Four of the games went to overtime, and two others were decided with less than two minutes left in regulation.

Hendricks scored midway through the first period, and Seguin tied it in the second. It stayed that way through a scoreless third, with Washington killing off a penalty in the final 3 minutes to send the game into overtime.

Patrice Bergeron had a chance to win it in the first minute of the extra period, but he couldn’t get off a solid shot from Holtby’s right. Two minutes later, the Capitals broke into the Boston zone with former Bruin Mike Knuble leading a 2-on-1.

Knuble shot, and Thomas left the rebound out where Ward could reach it with his backhander.

The building fell silent as the Capitals celebrated just their third postseason series win since a run to the Stanley Cup finals in 1998. Some fans littered the ice with debris, but the Bruins waited for the postgame handshake.

Thomas, bringing up the rear, gave Holtby a tap

on the shoulder and said, “Great job, kid.”

No team has repeated as Stanley Cup champions since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98.

The Capitals earned more than 100 points in the previous three seasons, leading the NHL with 121 in 2010, but had little to show for it once the postseason started. They won just two series over that span and have not made it out of the Eastern Conference semifinals since 1998, when they made it to the Stanley Cup finals but were swept by Detroit.

This year’s regular season wasn’t as successful.

But the playoffs have a chance to be even better.

Entering the postseason as a No. 7 seed, the Capitals won three times in Boston — they also won Games 2 and 5 — to earn a berth in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Their second-round opponent won’t be determined until after Game 7s Thursday night between Ottawa and the New York Rangers, and Florida and New Jersey.

The Bruins needed an unprecedented three Game 7s to win the Cup last year, including the 4-0 victory over Vancouver that gave the Original Six franchise its first title since 1972. Thomas also had a shutout in the Game 7 win over Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference finals.

But that streak ended midway through the first period when Carlson shot from right point and Hendricks tipped it past Thomas’ right shoulder to give the Capitals a 1-0 lead.

The Bruins tied it with 5:33 left in the second when Holtby kicked Andrew Ference’s shot wide to his left to Johnny Boychuk, whose shot trickled through the goalie’s pads and into the crease. Seguin dove for it, with two defenders crashing on top of him, and swiped it into the net to make it 1-1.

Correction: Legion meat bingo to benefit Keyser family rescheduled to May 5 An article published in our Tuesday, April 24 edition noted that the American Legion Post 33 in Meredith would be hosting a meat bingo to benefit the family of Todd Keyser on April 28. That event

has now been rescheduled for Saturday, May 5 at the Post on Plymouth Street at 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend and participate in raising funds for this family.

SECRET SERVICE from page 2 were “woefully unprepared to answer even the most basic questions about what happened in Cartagena.”

Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said the Defense Department would keep Congress “as informed as possible as the investigation proceeds.”

Testifying at an oversight hearing, Napolitano told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the incident involving as many as 20 women appeared to be an isolated case. She said the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility had never received previous complaints in the past 2 1/2 years, but it was unclear why she specified that period.

The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., praised the Secret Service as

“wise, very professional men and women” and called it shocking that so many of the agency’s employees were involved in the scandal.

“Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., pressed Napolitano about whether she believes this was the first incident involving prostitutes and the Secret Service.

“The only reason I suggest that we need to maybe look at little harder is because we’re lucky to have found out about this. If there hadn’t been an argument between one of the agents and, I guess, a prostitute, for lack of a better word, about money, we’d probably have never known about this.”

If the misconduct is part of a pattern, Napolitano added, “that would be a surprise to me.”

That’s Swede Fest.

Lakes Region Luxury Real Estate office offers specialized services

MEREDITH — Lakes Region Luxury Real Estate, LLC, has announced the opening of its new office at 3 Main Street, Meredith. Targeting high-end luxury real estate in the greater Lakes Region area, this newly formed agency offers specialized services through the real estate expertise of Ruth Neidhardt, Paula Hinckley, Carl Sack, and Brian Neidhardt.

“New Hampshire’s Lakes Region is home to many exquisite luxury properties, but until now there hasn’t been an agency dedicated to showcasing these luxury properties and serving its buyers and sellers,” stated Ruth Neidhardt, one of the agency partners. ““Paula, Carl, Brian and I are very excited to have this opportunity to do so with our business based in the historic village of Meredith.”

Neidhardt’s penchant for high-end realty was birthed in her early roots surrounded by luxurious antiques in her family’s home. What began as an appreciation for fine furnishings and quality artwork first led her to opening “Designers LTD,” a company that designed and marketed needlework kits to upscale women’s magazines, such as Good Housekeeping, Better Homes & Gardens, and Ladies Home Journal. She then set her sights on the real estate world and began her 20-year career developing several high-end water front homes with

another partner.

Paula Hinckley brought her background as a bank Vice President of Commercial Lending to the real estate industry 15 years ago. Paula’s success as a consistent multi-million dollar producer can be attributed to her conscientiousness, diligence, integrity and analytical skills.

Carl Sack entered real estate nine years ago with over 20 years in sales, advertising and marketing at a prestigious New York publishing company. Carl is an award-winning national advertising salesman and brings advertising and media savvy and a tremendous work ethic to the team.

Brian Neidhardt spent his summers on Lake Winnipesaukee working at the family’s seaplane business. In fact, Brian brokered his first seaplane at the age of 13. Brian’s early career spun off from his love of seaplanes and he spent several years as a successful boat broker for Silver Sands Marina in Gilford prior to entering real estate. One of Brian’s specialties is his photography skills used to produce high-end marketing pieces for clients.

All the partners are multi-million dollar producers and have achieved high ranking professional status in the luxury real estate niche. All are members of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing,

Demonstration on felted animals at League of Craftsmen gallery May 5

MEREDITH — The felted creations of Carolyn Wright, ranging from playful rabbits, wooly sheep, horses, camels, cows and other fun critters, will be featured for the month of May at the Meredith Gallery of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.

Wright will be at the Gallery on Saturday May 5 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. demonstrating the art of needle felting.

A New Hampshire native who grew up in Hopkinton and met her husband of 35 years at UNH, Wright has lived in South Sutton for the last six years. She has three grown children and four grandchildren. She says her husband tolerates the loss of a corner in the living room for her fiber “obsession,” and the he is both her biggest supporter and harshest critic, with a wonderful eye for the details.

The Gallery will also be the site of workshop on variety basket weaving which will be presented by Ray Lagasse on Saturday, May 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In this one-day workshop students can choose which kind of basket they would like to make from start to finish. Options include a garden basket, laundry basket, wool gathering basket, or a market basket. Full descriptions, dimensions, and pictures are available at the gallery.

Students are encouraged to bring a lunch as the workshop runs a full 8 hours.

Tuition is $95 per student, and there is no additional materials fee. Space is limited. Pre-registration is required.

May 12 Walk MS starts at Opechee Park LACONIA — Hundreds of residents from Laconia and Northern New Hampshire are coming together May 12 for Walk MS, presented

by Biogen Idec & Élan.

Organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, fundraising

by Walk MS participants helps individuals and families address the challenges of living with multiple sclerosis. The five-mile route starts and finishes at Opechee Park, 867 Main Street in Laconia. Check-in opens at 9 a.m. and the official start is 10 a.m.

There are more than 2,500 people in New Hampshire known to have MS, which can dramatically impact the lives of as many as seven family members for each person diagnosed. People affected by MS count on the National MS Society to provide MS education, support, advocacy, and services, and to fund cutting-edge research and treatment to stop disease progression, restore lost function, and end MS for future generations.

Each walker, 12-yearsold and above, is required to raise at least $25.

T-shirts are awarded for at least $100 in fundraising, but historically walkers easily average above $200.

And, there are prizes for higher levels of fundraising. Family members and coworkers have fun forming teams, who walk and fundraise together in support of a loved one with MS. Teams and individual walkers can register online, www.walkMSgne.org, to take advantage of e-fundraising tools.

Registrations are also accepted by phone, 1-800-344-4867 opt. 2, and in-person on Walk day. Volunteers are also needed to make the walk run smoothly. Send questions about walking, fundraising, or volunteering to walkMSgne@nmss.org.

Of the many sponsors that make Walk MS possible each year, our most loyal and generous are Biogen Idec & Élan, EMD Serono & Pfizer, Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture, Data Associates, Patients Like Me, WMUR-TV9, Honest Tea, Laconia Savings Bank, and Pure Protein.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis don’t like it when others question your judgments, systems, strategies and decisions. But if you have a good answer, you’ll get to take credit for the success that happens next.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

It is rare that you get long stretches of peace and quiet. You have to make the effort to keep the world at bay by going where you’re unlikely to be distracted. If you do this, you’ll love how you feel at the end of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You and your business are all wrapped together in one package now. You know what people get when they spend time with you and/or buy what you’re selling. You’re confident in what you have to offer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re like a child trying to act older than his or her years; you want to grow quickly. But if you try to do too much too fast, you’ll only set yourself up for a stressful experience. Take it easy!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get the feeling that you should veer off in your own direction, and it’s worth looking into. After all, you can’t leave your footprint on this Earth if you walk in another person’s tracks.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 26).

Your tastes and desires are developing in interesting ways, which is reflected in your choices this year. You’ll be featured in a public forum because of your admirable style. Family happenings are featured in July, and you’ll play a new role with your loved ones then, too.

August fun turns into a profit opportunity. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 4, 37, 41 and 24.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are savvy, that’s for sure. But considering the opinions of another person will make you even more so. Even if you think you have your plans nailed down, ask around for different ideas.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your family will have an impact on your decision-making process today. This is true whether or not they are nearby. Your connection bridges the gap of time and space.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This is the kind of day you prefer: Your mood is upbeat; your activities are offbeat.

You’ll march happily to a different drummer who happens to be playing at a pretty snappy tempo.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your executive abilities will be highlighted.

Though your decisions affect many, you make them without an ounce of stress or worry. You trust yourself, and that’s the essence of confidence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are moving quickly now, and the rest of the world lags behind. Not one to wait around in vain, you make sure you have something to do while others try to keep up with you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Starting too many projects at once is a form of procrastination, as it delays the completion of all goals. Keep it simple.

Finish what’s on your plate, and then rest before you take on anything new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Knowledge on its own isn’t worth much unless you can put it to good use.

Today you’ll do some planning to come up with the exact action-steps that will take you where you want to go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, April 26, the 117th day of 2012. There are 249 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 26, 1937, German and Italian warplanes raided the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, resulting in widespread destruction; estimates of the number of people killed vary greatly, from the hundreds to the thousands.

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 Port Royal, Va., and killed.

(As he lay dying, Booth looked at his hands and gasped, “Useless, useless.”)

In 1945, Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, the head of France’s Vichy government during World War II, was arrested.

In 1952, the destroyer-minesweeper USS Hobson sank in the central Atlantic after colliding with the aircraft carrier USS Wasp with the loss of 176 crew members.

In 1962, the NASA spacecraft Ranger 4 crashed into the moon as planned after failing to transmit images and data.

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

In 1972, the first Lockheed L-1011 TriStar went into commercial service with Eastern Airlines.

In 1986, a major nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union).

In 1992, Moscow saw its first publicly observed Russian Orthodox Easter in 74 years.

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

One year ago: An 84-year-old naturalized American from Burundi accused of participating in the 1994 Rwandan genocide went on trial in Wichita, Kan. (While Lazare Kobagaya was convicted of making false statements on immigration forms, the jury deadlocked on whether he’d played a role in the genocide. Federal prosecutors later moved to dismiss all the charges because they’d failed to disclose information about a witness who could have benefited the defense.)

Today’s Birthdays: Actress-comedian Carol Burnett is 79. Songwriter-musician Duane Eddy is 74. Singer Bobby Rydell is 70. Rock musician Gary Wright is 69. Actress Nancy Lenehan is 59.

Rock musician Roger Taylor is 52. Actress Joan Chen is 51. Rock musician Chris Mars is 51. Actorsinger Michael Damian is 50. Actor Jet Li is 49.

Rock musician Jimmy Stafford is 48. Actor-comedian Kevin James is 47. Actress Marianne JeanBaptiste is 45. Country musician Jay DeMarcus is 41. Country musician Michael Jeffers is 40. Rock musician Jose Pasillas is 36. Actor Jason Earles is 35. Actor Leonard Earl Howze is 35. Actor Tom Welling is 35. Actor Nyambi Nyambi is 33. Actress Jordana Brewster is 32.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: A year ago, I fell in love with “Bobby” over the Internet. Two months later, he said he loved me. I was stunned. But a little later, he told me he was in a relationship and the girl was suicidal. He was afraid that if he broke it off, she’d kill herself. I’ve had suicidal thoughts myself and understood.

Bobby sent me wonderful messages that made me feel terrific. I was happier than ever, even though he was terribly depressed about his situation. We made a promise that as long as we had each other, we wouldn’t kill ourselves. After a while, I lost all desire to hurt myself. He gave me a reason to live.

But, Annie, sometimes Bobby acts like a player. He flirts with other women. When I get upset, he always apologizes.

I checked his online profile and saw messages to and from his current girlfriend. In one, he told her he “wasn’t ready to let go of her and was sorry they broke up.” He never told me they weren’t together anymore.

I posted a message, too, giving him a piece of my mind. But since he’s been suicidal, I worry about him and frequently check to make sure he’s been online and is OK. Whenever people say something mean about him, I always defend him.

The truth is, I still love him, but I’m afraid to talk to him again. Do you think there’s any hope for the two of us, or is this just another book in my life that I have to close? -- Desperate for Answers In Michigan Dear Michigan: Close the book and throw it away. Bobby is not honest, and any relationship with him would eventually involve misery for you. We think you know this. We’re glad you no longer have suicidal thoughts, but if they should return, please get some counseling and talk to someone who can truly help you. You should never rely on another person for your happiness.

Dear Annie: My two siblings and I are planning a family vacation that will include renting a house. They each have kids who still live at home and will be coming along. One sibling is spending a lot of money just to travel to us.

My husband absolutely refuses to pay for one-third the cost of the house, since we only require one bedroom and they require more. But if we divide it by the number of bedrooms, one family will end up paying almost half of the cost of the entire place. And if we divide it by the number of people, the family already paying the most to travel here will be paying the most for the house, as well. And that sibling has always been very generous with me.

I am upset with my husband, and now my siblings are upset with me. What is fair? -- No Good Solution for this Arithmetic Problem Dear Solution: Your husband’s position is not unreasonable. The more people who use the premises the more it costs to run the place and supply the food. Unless those who spend less money to get there want to subsidize the others, it would be fair to discuss this with everyone and work out a solution together.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Mom in Connecticut,” who asked about emailing thank-you notes.

Few children would be eager to handwrite a thank-you note, but I have the solution. When my children were young, they were not permitted to enjoy the gift (spend the money, watch the DVD, play with the toy, etc.) until a handwritten thank-you was ready to be mailed. Now I don’t have to remind them, as they know it is expected of them. -- Mom in Pennsylvania Dear Mom: We wish more parents were as conscientious as you. It would help with a lot of problems -- not only thankyou notes.
