City Council told cuts could fray local safety net

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Officials of Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS) and Genesis Behavioral Health told the City Council this week that if state budget cuts threatening services to more than half of the 3,750 developmentally disabled and mentally ill

they serve are not restored, much of the burden will fall on municipal and county emergency, welfare, safety and correctional agencies as well as the public schools.

Fire Chief Ken Erickson, Lieutenant Chris Adams, who was recently named to succeed Mike Moyer as Police Chief, Dan Ward, superintendent of the Belknap

County Department of Corrections, and Laconia District Court Judge Jim Carroll all echoed the message from the agencies.

Christine Santaniello, executive director of LRCS, said that a half dozen programs serving more than 450 individuals and families are at risk along with the positions see FRay page 8

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD - The Zoning Board of Adjustment ruled unanimously last night that the managers of the Ramblin’ Vewe Farm on Morrill Street do not need a special

exception to operate a retail farm stand.

Joyce and Jeffrey Keyser, who told the Board that last night was their 14th wedding anniversary, had been told by Town Planner John Ayer they needed a special exception to the town’s zoning laws to oper-

FBI joins investigation into missing Maine woman

CONWAY, N.H. (AP) — The FBI on Tuesday joined the investigation into the disappearance of a 20-year-old Maine woman whose car and toddler were found in New Hampshire, as family members held out hope that she will turn up alive.

Conway police believe Krista Dittmeyer was a crime victim and did not voluntarily leave her car at the Cranmore Mountain ski area parking lot with her 14-month-old daughter, Aliyah, inside.

When police responded to a report of Dittmeyer’s car idling with its hazard lights blinking at 6:30 a.m. Saturday, they found the infant unharmed and asleep but no trace of Dittmeyer.

The FBI offered three agents from its New Hampshire office to help in the investigation, said Conway police Lt. Chris Perley.

“We now have a conduit to federal resources we didn’t have before, as well as three trained professional investigators,” Perley said.

Perley declined to comment on a news see MISSING page 4

Colo. mall bomb suspect caught; no word on motive BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A man suspected of leaving a homemade bomb at a Colorado shopping mall — initially raising concerns about a possible Columbineinspired plot — was captured Tuesday without a fight outside of a grocery store after he was spotted having coffee.

Federal and local officials allege 65-yearold Earl Albert Moore planted a pipe bomb and propane tanks in the Southwest Plaza Mall in the south Denver suburbs last week. The explosives were found April 20

after a fire in a hallway at the mall’s food court, but they didn’t detonate.

The discovery came on the 12th anniversary of the Columbine shootings and the mall is just two miles away from the high school where teenage gunmen killed 12 students and a teacher in 1999. Both the fire and the school shootings occurred around the same time of day and a pipe bomb and propane tanks were also found at Columbine after the shootings.

Authorities looked at the possibility of

a connection between the two events but say they’ve concluded there was no tie. FBI agents have said they have found a motive, but they refused to reveal it Tuesday.

Police arrested Moore after a shopper spotted him having a cup of coffee in a Starbucks inside a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder. Authorities said he was unarmed and officers didn’t have to draw their weapons.

Police and store security searched the store after Moore’s arrest and said they didn’t find anything suspicious.

ABOARD THE RED STAR 1 (AP) — Libyan government forces on Tuesday bombarded the port of Misrata, in a virtually nonstop assault on the sole lifeline of a battered population that has been under siege for the past two months.

While forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi pulled out of the city over the weekend under pressure from NATO airstrikes, they have since unleashed a withering rocket and mortar barrage on Misrata that has killed dozens. The bombardment Tuesday was constant throughout the afternoon

and into the evening, and loud explosions could be heard thundering across the city.

“It was horrific, like a scene from World War II,” said resident Saddoun el-Misurati who was waiting to evacuate his mother from the port when the rockets began to fall. “I stopped counting after nine.”

Hundreds of residents, including migrant African laborers, had been waiting at the port for the expected afternoon arrival of the Red Star 1, an Albanian ship chartered by the International Organization of Migration to evacuate people from the besieged city.

The crowd gathered on the docks scrambled for cover when the rockets began falling, hiding in cars and shipping crates or just fleeing the port area, said el-Misurati.

Even after sundown, Gadhafi’s forces continued to shell the port.

Abdullah Abodabbous, a 25-year-old from Benghazi, said he was trying to leave on a small, previously arranged vessel when a barrage of at least 10 Grad rockets slammed into the port around 9 p.m., forcing him to hide under a table in offices near the main entrance.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Rookie Zach Britton allowed one run in six innings to earn his fourth win, Derrek Lee had two hits and scored twice, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Red Sox 4-1 Tuesday night to end Boston’s five-game winning streak.

Adam Jones drove in two runs for the Orioles, who won for only the third time in 14 games, and Vladimir Guerrero had his first three-hit game since coming to Balti-

more as a free agent during the offseason.

Britton (4-1) became the first rookie starter in franchise history to win four games in April. The left-hander has accounted for nearly half of Baltimore’s nine victories this year.

Britton gave up five hits, walked two and struck out two in his fifth career start, all this year. It was the third time he permitted one run or fewer.

Jim Johnson notched four strikeouts in two innings and Kevin Gregg worked a perfect ninth for his third save.

Boston starter Clay Buchholz (1-3) yielded four runs and 12 hits in 6 2-3 innings, his longest outing of the year.

Kevin Youkilis drove in the lone run for the Red Sox, who managed only six hits. Boston had won eight of nine and was vying to reach .500 for the first time this season.

Canadiens force Game 7 against Bruins with 2-1 win MONTREAL (AP) — Brian Gionta and Michael Cammalleri scored during two separate two-man advantages and the Montreal Canadiens forced a decisive Game 7 in their first-round playoff series with a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.

Game 7 is Wednesday night in Boston, with the Bruins looking to beat Montreal for only the ninth time in 33 postseason series.

Dennis Seidenberg scored for Boston, which played more than half the game without ejected winger Milan Lucic but still outshot the Canadiens 32-27.

Boston had taken the lead in the closely contested series with consecutive overtime wins, but couldn’t get the equalizer behind a sharp Carey Price — who made 31 saves — despite outshooting Montreal 11-6 in the third period.

Tim Thomas stopped 25 shots for the Bruins.

It was a nervous game for both teams and referees Kevin Pollock and Chris Lee, with spotty passing and missed opportunities on both sides.

The crowd of 21,273 booed as a Montreal goal 3:27 in was disallowed due to a quick whistle. Scott Gomez’s dump-in was misplayed by Thomas and lay clearly open beside him as Gionta slipped it in the net.

Cammalleri was the catalyst for the opening goal

as he threw the puck toward the Boston bench and caught the Bruins with too many men on the ice, then had his stick slashed in two by Seidenberg for a two-man advantage. Cammalleri one-timed a pass from P.K. Subban inside the near post from the right circle at 10:07.

The Bruins struck back with the teams each down one man only 48 seconds into the middle period as Seidenberg came out from behind the net and lifted it inside the post.

Montreal got another two-man advantage when Lucic was given a major for boarding and a game misconduct for a hit from behind on Jaroslav Spacek, who turned at the last second and was cut when his face hit the glass. Only 16 seconds later, Patrice Bergeron shot the puck over the glass for a delay-of-game call.

Gionta put Montreal ahead when he knocked in a rebound at 5:48.

Spacek returned later in the period and the Bruins had to juggle their lines without Lucic, who does not appear likely to face further discipline.

Boston’s Brad Marchand wasted a glittering chance when he couldn’t find the handle on Zdeno Chara’s pass with half the net open on a late power play.

MISSING from page 2 report of blood being found in the car. He said the sheriff who released that information is not involved in the investigation.

Dittmeyer grew up in Bridgton, Maine, about 25 miles from where her car was found. She moved to Portland shortly after her 2008 high school graduation and has been working as a waitress at a South Portland restaurant, according to her older sister, Kayla Dittmeyer.

Kayla Dittmeyer, who is 22 and lives in Colorado, said the family remains hopeful that Kristen will turn up alive. The family is offering a $3,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts and has planned a candlelight vigil for Thursday night in Bridgton. Aliyah is now staying with Krista’s mother in Bridgton.

“We don’t know where she is, we don’t know if

she’s OK, we don’t know if she’s hurt,” Kayla Dittmeyer said. “For some reason somebody was after her, but we don’t know who or why.”

She declined to comment when asked about the father of her sister’s daughter and his whereabouts during the ordeal. The father is not considered a suspect and police know he was not in the Conway area at the time of her disappearance, Perley said.

Perley said investigators have a good idea of when the car arrived at the Cranmore Mountain parking lot, but he wouldn’t reveal the time, saying that kind of information will help police judge the credibility of potential witnesses.

The ski area closed in early April, but the resort is popular among joggers and those walking dogs. It also has a fitness center that is open year-round, but it was not yet open for the day at the time police got the report of Dittmeyer’s car.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock to pay $2.2-million in fines

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center will pay more than $2.2 million to settle charges it improperly billed various federal health programs, Vermont’s top federal prosecutor said Tuesday.

Of the total, more than $80,000 will go to the state of Vermont, $61,000 to New Hampshire, $1.5 million to the federal government and more than $334,000 will go to Dr. Thomas Prendergast, the former Dartmouth-Hitchcock physician who blew the whistle on the improper billing.

Based in Lebanon, N.H., Dartmouth-Hitchcock is a major teaching hospital affiliated with the Dartmouth Medical School and has a big footprint in northern New England. It discharged more than 13,000 New Hampshire patients in 2010 and nearly 10,000 from Vermont.

Prendergast told authorities the hospital improperly billed federal programs including Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs and the military’s Tricare health insurance system for services delivered by resident physicians in training who were unsupervised by more senior attending physicians.

“Federal regulations and related guidelines allow physicians to bill for certain services provided by residents but only if those services are performed while a physician is present and the medical record contains appropriate documentation of the physician’s presence,” said a statement from the office of U.S. Attorney Tristram Coffin.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock, while agreeing to pay the settlement, denied any wrongdoing but said it had worked to improve its billing practices.

“Our patients trust that we will provide them with excellent care, and trust that we will bill them and our payers accordingly,” said Dr. Carl DeMatteo, chief quality and compliance officer. “We take documentation and billing practices very seriously and are determined to meet the highest standards of compliance and excellence in all aspects of our operations.”

Prendergast’s lawyer, Norman Watts of Woodstock, said the doctor had resigned from DartmouthHitchcock and was now practicing in Oregon. He said Prendergast did not wish to be interviewed.

The case was handled by federal prosecutors in Vermont, rather than New Hampshire, because Vermont was where Prendergast lived and filed his complaint, said Carol Shea, chief of the Vermont office’s civil division.

Prendergast made his complaint in the form of a “qui tam” lawsuit — short for a Latin phrase meaning “one who sues for the king and on his own behalf” — under the federal False Claims Act. The law allows private citizens to sue on the government’s behalf.

The statement from Coffin’s office said the primary source of the alleged billing problems was the anesthesiology department, including the pain clinic, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. “The investigation also revealed similar billing problems in radiology,” it added.

The government said “the regulations and guidelines were direct and clear on when resident performed procedures could be billed by a physician and that the failure to abide by those requirements constituted reckless disregard under the False Claims Act.” It added that the billing problems continued from 2001 to September 2007 and involved thousands of claims.

RAMBLIN’ from page one - only the Keysers and their daughter attended that member Scott Davis asked the Board why they would need a special exception for a retail stand in one of their barns.

“It’s not even in their home. How did we get here,” asked Chair Andy Howe, direction his question to Building Inspector Dave Andrade who was representing the town’s planning department.

Andrade said the state statutes say the proposed change may be subject to special exception and home-based business was the closest thing the department had.

“Agriculture is allowed in a single family,” Davis continued. “Why to they have to have anything?”

“It’s convoluted,” Andrade replied.

“I suggest the [ZBA] sent a note to the Planning Board to go to the site plan. That farm’s been there for 200 years and all they’re doing is expanding an agricultural use,” Howe said.

Andrade said that under state RSA 674 - the chapter of New Hampshire law governing planning and zoning - a community can regulate a special excep-

tion for the purposes of traffic and parking.

“Everything in the Master Plan promotes agriculture and yet here were are hammering a farmer,” said Howe, himself a farmer.

According to Nix, the state definition of agriculture under RSA 21:34-a II b says agriculture use in New Hampshire extends to on-site retail of farm products and a special exception is unnecessary and adds needlessly to existing bureaucracy.

The Keysers said they hope to have their farm stand open from June to late September or early October, from 2 to 6 p.m. weekdays and some hours on Saturdays.

Alexander Cockburn

Still a dangerous football to kick around For a nation that that loves anniversaries, the 150th anniversary of the outbreak of the American Civil War — April 12, 1861 — crept by on tiptoe, like a burglar slipping through a darkened house. Yet the Civil War was, given the size of the population at the time, a fearful killer. All told, at least 630,000 died; at Gettysburg, the single bloodiest engagement of a war that ran from 1861 to 1865, around 50,000 fell across the three-day battle, nearly the entire body count of Americans in the Vietnam War. The Civil War defined American politics for the next hundred years and is still a potent specter.

The reason for this eerie silence is not hard to find. The Civil War is contested political terrain, particularly in the racist backwash after the 1960s and the civil rights movement, which naturally looked back on the Civil War as one in which tens of thousands of Americans gave their lives for the principle that all are born free and slavery is a shameful blot on any society.

These days, we live in the shadow of Nixon’s southern strategy, which became Reagan’s southern strategy and is now standard issue campaign politics for the Republican Party: Play the racist card, finance think tanks to churn out papers churning out onslaughts on quotas and deride all attempts to level the racial playing field. Speak “frankly” about the supposed pathologies of the black family.

Meanwhile, up north, the forthright honoring of a war waged for decent principles has faded amid revisionist histories of what the war was really about. Add to this a general wan feeling that the fruits for a terrible conflict were the appalling racism of the Reconstruction period after the Civil War, when the Ku Klux Klan began to burn and lynch, and the migration of Southern slaves and their descendants from the Deep South to the slums of Chicago and other Northern cities. Ahead lay decades of poverty and oppression that prompted the riots of the 1960s.

So the Civil War is a dangerous football to start kicking around on network TV, bad for the advertising business. The arrival of a black man to the White House has naturally intensified these divisions.

A friend of mine, Kevin Alexander Gray — a black radical living in Columbia, S.C., remembers — amid a brilliant evocation of current efforts across the South to honor the Confederacy — burning the Confederate flag a few years ago, outside the state capitol:

“I was talking on the phone to a white liberal friend a day or so before we burned the rebel flag.

She asked me, ‘Why are you doing this?’ and ‘Who’s putting you up to this?’ I said it’s what I think of the flag and what it stands for — slavery; racial oppression; a privileged, landed class; white supremacy and patriarchy; and a deep-seated belief in the very existence and rightness of the Confederacy.

“Those who fought and died under the Confederate flag were willing to die for the expansion of slavery. This, not some vision of mint juleps and ladies in ringlets and lace, is the ‘heritage’ that modern Confederates defend when they champion this flag and the Confederacy. For most Americans, let alone most African-Americans, the men who died under the Confederate battle flag were not heroes; they were traitors to the fundamental notion of human freedom.”

These days, many Southern states have celebrations of “Confederate History Month”, basically a glorification of the Confederacy and thus, in Gray’s words, “about white resistance to black advances”. Nonetheless, historians of an emphatically leftist bent make the argument that it’s quite legitimate to ask whether the Civil War was worth it, in terms of destruction and the questionable outcome, so far as African-Americans were and are concerned.

Former New Left Review editor Robin Blackburn, author of the classic “The Overthrow of Colonial Slavery,” also the recent “An Unfinished Revolution: Karl Marx and Abraham Lincoln,” pointed out on our CounterPunch site last week that slavery remained legal in Union states for months after the Civil War broke out and that Lincoln gave his support for a constitutional amendment, never ratified, that would have renounced any right or ability to challenge slavery and reserved to the slave states themselves the entire responsibility for regulating slavery.

It wasn’t until 1863 that the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment clearly put the Union in the right. Indeed, the abolitionists, a hugely powerful moral force, far more potent in lobbying power than the tea party today, preferred to argue against slavery on the basis of biblical injunction, rather than the U.S. Constitution, which recognized the right of secession.

Blackburn says flatly that “In the US case acquiescence in secession would have allowed the see next page

LETTERS What you cut from the budget is as important as whether you cut To the editor, A recent article in a local paper noted that the state’s DES has cut funds to inspect waterways i.e. lakes, rivers, beaches, etc. Are they nuts? Here in the Lakes Region and Laconia particularly, the main industry and source of revenue is tourism. Our manufacturing base has disappeared and we desperately rely on our lake for tourism and for our drinking water. And do we want our children and visitors swimming at beaches that may have excessive levels of e-coli and other bacteria which cause risks to human health?

The former brings thousands of visitors to the area for swimming, boating, fishing, and the sheer natural beauty of our area. These thousands bring money to the area that support businesses and the people they employ and the these lakes add strong numbers to our tax base.

The latter is essential to our very lives. Our drinking water has always been superior and of course one cannot live without it.

This, of course, goes hand in hand with our willingness to help fund millfoil projects. We know the state should fund this or most of it, but the figures they put out, doesn’t support that. The state recently claimed they received only $87,000 for their share of boat registrations that is to be used for millfoil

containment. It was divided among the 34 communities requesting assistance.

Hardly a spit in the bucket. Communities should be lobbying the state for more money, but in the meantime, the cities and towns will have to do what they can to help projects trying to control this blight, because without clean waterways, no one will come.

People considering moving here to live year round or buy vacation homes will consider other areas. Property values will fall.

Cutting the budget is essential, but WHAT you cut has to be considered as to the effect it may or may not have on the state, communities and the people. The House and Senate in Concord have blindly cut many essential programs without thought to what effect it will have on everyone and on the state. When communities lose their source of income and the revenue that goes to the state, where will the state find the next pile of money it needs. Sometimes they need to invest in programs that will bear fruit, keep communities alive. The need to balance the budget is so overwhelming to them and the need to fulfill their preelection promises has compromised their common sense and they are rushing to do things without looking at the whole picture.

Councilor Brenda R. Baer Ward 4 - Laconia

I hope there are more who can separate fact from personal bias To the editor, I was refreshing to read the letter “Private sector unions were crushed & public unions are on last leg” by Travis Haley (Laconia Sun, April 22).

While the title attributed to the letter doesn’t appear to be the best, the letter itself is one of the most accurate and well written I’ve seen in your paper.

I am always amazed (and equally discouraged) at the lack of historical accuracy and tremendous bias shown in so many of the letters that a handful of chronic contributors express in their letters.

I applaud these contributors for their eagerness to participate in the discussion of how we govern ourselves, but they too often have a distorted recollection of history and rely on their feelings of being “righteous” to “beat their drum”. They have found a vehicle in The Laconia Sun, I just hope that there are many more readers, like Travis Haley, who are critical thinkers, have a good grasp of history, and can separate facts from religious beliefs and their own biases.

LETTERS Draconian budget cuts will cost jobs, put lives at risk and create devastating effects To the editor, We are approaching the end of the first year of the 162nd General Court. The second half is as important as the first, particularly this year. We can only hope that our elected senators will think long and hard from preceding page North and the West to become a large and progressive state, a sort of vast and diversified Canada, hospitable to free labor, social protection and gun control. The Confederacy meanwhile, would have become a republican version of the ramshackle Brazilian Empire, a major slave society that eventually managed to shed slavery in a largely peaceful manner... In this context a willingness on the part of the United States to admit the possibility that the war was not the best response to Secession would be a healthy sign.”

Like other major historical turning points, “what ifs” hang over the Civil War. Winston Churchill once wrote an amusing essay, “If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg.” On one of the innumerable Civil War historical websites, I ran across this optimistic posting: “If (the Confederate States of America) had won, North America would be made up of 3 countries, Canada, USA, and CSA. I suspect USA would not have joined WWI against Germany and as a result it would have been a stalemate: no humiliating Versailles Treaty and Hitler would be a footnote. Without Nazi Germany and WWII, no Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Because CSA lacked manufacturing capability, it would have been forced into creating manufacturing industries by importing European technologies and immigrants which in turn would have changed their agrarian society into an industrialized one similar to the one North. Slavery would have died but at a pace dictated by economy.”

There’s a coda here: The “pace dictated by economy” these days means deteriorating lives for millions of Americans of all races, the very reverse of Blackburn’s “large and progressive state,” as Made-in-the-South phenomena like runaway union-free factories, Walmart and a prison gulag of around 3-million advertise what capitalism has delivered. The first act of the Republicans in Congress, after the Southern delegations quit Washington on the outbreak of the Civil War, was to set up a national banking system, anchored in New York.

The nation was on its way to JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.

regarding the House budget and the atrocious proposed bills that will destroy our state as we know it.

The draconian House budget is not only immoral and potentially devastating to N.H. but it is unacceptable. I have been speaking with many of my fellow citizens regarding the proposed budget and all, regardless of party affiliation, are extremely disappointed with our elected officials on many fronts.

Unfortunately, there are an enormous amount of freshman obsequious followers of the Free State radical majority leaders with no clue. Just recently I read that yet another senior legislator has been yanked from committee for disagreeing with “Shrieker” O’Brien. You know, that dictator that is in control of the N.H. House. This is not democracy!

I urge everyone to know who their elected legislators are and hold them accountable for their actions. Their job is to represent their constituents, not a handful of radicals with insane ideology who are attempting to infiltrate our state government and destroy N.H. There were promises last fall of “no new taxes, less spending, restoring the N.H. advantage and creating jobs.” I certainly understand why people voted in line with this rhetoric but unfortunately it was all soft soap.

We cannot just slash every agency and public service to less than bare bones overnight and have no revenue. This will cost thousands of jobs, put lives at risk and create devastating effects to all. Especially, children, seniors and the struggling middle class. Oh, and your property taxes will go up due to downshifting and probably 10-15-percent. You can

count on that! Maybe we should think about some revenue! I know that not one legislator wants to bring it up, but if we introduced a diminutive sales or income tax or both maybe we could drastically reduce the property taxes and also take care of critical services and agencies that we need to run this state and not kill the middle class and the destitute.

No I did not take the Grover Norquist pledge last fall. Those legislators who did can be held responsible for the property taxes increasing in the near future and our state going to hell.

N.H. has been rated as one of the safest states to live, best states to raise children, cleanest states, and a state with one of the lowest high school drop out rates just to name a few recent accomplishments.

But now, in just one legislative session, the attempt to kill RGGI (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) and much of the DES (Dept. of Environmental Services), allowing children to drop out of school at the mature age of 16 and do away with compulsory education are just a few dreadful pieces of legislation that will take away those great accomplishments.

Another bit of information for you is the voting record of the Belknap County delegation.

Out of 17, I thank GOP Representatives Millham, St. Cyr and Bolster the only three that voted no on the proposed budget. Why? Because they know it is unacceptable and it is not what their constituents want, period. Where are the jobs? Soon you can follow that question with “why are they killing more jobs?” Lot’s to think about for 2012.

In 13 to 3 vote, House committee endorses bill to return JUA surplus funds to policy holders

By Michael Kitch CONCORD — The House Executive Departments and Administration Committee yesterday endorsed Senate Bill 170 compelling the New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Underwriting Association (JUA) to distribute the lion’s share of its current $120-million surplus to its policyholders by a convincing margin of 13 to 3.

The bill followed two years of controversy and litigation stemming from the state’s effort to transfer $110-million from the JUA to the general fund to balance the 2009-2011 state budget, which was stymied when the New Hampshire Supreme Court denied the state’s claim and upheld the policyholders’ claim to the funds. As the largest policyholder of the JUA, LRGHealthcare played a major part in the successful litigation.

Sponsored by Senator Sharon Carson (R-Londonderry), the bill forbids the state from taking any funds held by the JUA and prescribes a procedure for distributing excess funds to policyholders. The Senate amended the bill to require the JUA to calculate its surplus beyond the funds it requires “to remain actuarially sound,” which shall not be less than $110-million, the amount to which the state laid claim. Within 60 days of the effective date of the legislation, the surplus, save for $25-million held in reserve against any federal tax liability, would be placed in the hands of Merrimack County Superior Court, where the claims of policyholders would be adjudicated. Any distribution to policyholders would be subject to a claim by the JUA to satisfy any tax liabilities above $25-million.

The bill carried the Senate by a vote of 23 to one, with Senator Lou D’Allesandro (D-Manchester) the lone dissenter.

Representative Carol McGuire (R-Epsom), who

chairs the House Executive Departments and Administration Committee, further amended the bill by adding a provision to convene a study committee to make recommendations about the future structure and operation of the JUA. The New Hampshire Insurance Department has repeatedly warned that the legislation would jeopardize the JUA’s tax exempt status, exposing it to liability for federal income tax as well as the business profits tax and business enterprise tax levied by the state. The department estimates the federal tax liability could be as little as $11.9-million or as much as $100.3-million and the state tax liability falls between $3-million and $34-million.

Jim Vaccarino, the administrator of the JUA, also told the committee that if the JUA were found responsible for significant amounts of back taxes, the capacity of the fund to satisfy outstanding claims and defray operating expenses would be severely compromised.

George Roussos, speaking on behalf of the New Hampshire Association of Domestic Insurance Companies and the American Insurance Association, also opposed the bill. He said that in theory if the JUA became insolvent, all licenses insurance carriers in the state could be assessed to restore it to financial soundness.

Kevin Fitzpatrick of Nixon Peabody, representing the policyholders, has insisted, on the strength of analysis by PricewaterhouseCoopers, that the concerns about tax liabilities are exaggerated and misplaced. He stressed that in any event the bill sets aside $25-million to address any liability, which is more than either the PricewaterhouseCoopers consider necessary.

Although the bill seems sure to succeed in the full House, it will likely be vetoed by Governor John Lynch, who has steadfastly upheld the state’s claim to the surplus of the JUA.

SKYDIVE from page one and Mary Noonan was objectionable: the safety of persons in the airspace and on the ground; existing or planned traffic patterns of the neighboring airport; existing airspace structure and protecting programs of the FAA and property on the ground.

“We have determined that the proposed skydiving landing areas would adversely affect (sic) the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace by aircraft and the safety of persons and property on the ground,” wrote Michel Hovan the Safety and Standards Branch Manager of the Airports Division for the New England Region.

This is the second proposal submitted by the Noonans to operate a tandem skydiving operation at the Laconia Airport. While the two proposals are similar, the second proposal moved the proposed landing zone but, according to Airport Manager Diane Cooper, it is still between the runway and taxi area.

One of the key reasons cited by the FAA in determination is the fact that “student pilots operate at the airport.”

“These inexperienced pilots tend to focus on the

task at hand, i.e. maneuvering that aircraft, and have limited situational awareness abilities. Adding parachute operations would increase the risk of operating in that airspace,” Hovan continued.

Other identified hazards were further complicating operations by adding parachuting to an airport that services a number of large and turbo-powered planes and the proposed landing zones are too close to both the runways and taxiways.

Hovan said that because Laconia Airport does not have a tower, communications are difficult enough without adding parachutists.

“Pilots operate in a ‘see and avoid’ environment.

Adding parachute operations would increase the risk of operating in that airspace,” Hovan wrote.

The report also said there were nearly 80 comments and many of them expressed concern for existing pilots and airport users. Hovan also noted most of the airports that have parachute operations either have towers, more than one runway and drop zones well away from runways and taxiways.

FRAY from page one of 41 employees. She explained that because 80-percent of those with developmental disabilities and acquired brain disorders live either with their families or on their own, the support services provided by the agency are essential for their self-sufficiency.

An estimated 307 families could lose funding for respite care, after school programs and modifications to homes and vehicles that enable those with disabilities to live with working families and attend their local school.

Santaniello said that these families would seek more support from the school district and without it may seek a costly residential placement out of the district.

Another 18 adults, once residents of the Laconia State School, could lose the assistance they receive with budgeting, shopping, housekeeping and transportation and find themselves at risk of eviction and exploitation. Without day services some 31 people requiring more extensive support would be unable

to work or volunteer while their parents could be compelled to leave their jobs to care for them. Santaniello said that with help from agency staff individuals with disabilities volunteer 7,500 hours annually for a variety of non-profit organizations.

Santaniello said more than 80 individuals and families of all ages stand to lose case management services that assist them with medical, educational and housing needs as well as help them obtain state and federal benefits to which they are entitled.

Finally, she said that 23 people would go without services and join the wait list, consisting of young adults turning 21 and older adults living with aging caregivers, for lack of funding.

Ed Drury of Genesis said that all “severely emotionally disturbed” children would go without treatment, adding that the agency served 350 in 2010 and is currently seeing 163 in Belknap County. see next page

7:55 a.m.

Officials said the people in the upstairs apartment went downstairs to make sure nobody was hurt and those involved chose, for some reason, to report the incident to police later in the morning.

Police said they had gone to the apartment earlier in the evening for a call for a disturbance. They said they have taken the gun as evidence and the incident remains under investigation.

Anyone with any information about this or any other crime is asked to call the Laconia Police Department at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

DOT worker dies of natural causes while working on I-93 in Plymouth PLYMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire State Police say a 52-yearold state Department of Transportation worker was pronounced dead at a hospital after being found collapsed in the dump truck he had been operating.

State police say the worker, who was found around 10:45 Tuesday morning, died of natural causes. The truck was

stopped on the side of the road near Exit 26 on Interstate 93 in Plymouth.

It was being used to display a sign to warn of work being done along the interstate.

The worker’s name has not been released, pending notification of family.

He had worked for the department for six years.

from preceding page Short-term therapy and medication, amounting to $1,800 of care a year, would be eliminated for some 135 adults on Medicaid and another 25 adults with severe and persistent mental illness designated as “low utilizers” would be discharged on July 1. Other adults with chronic mental illness, like bi-polar disorder or schizophrenia, would be at risk of losing all services should they be “stable” for four weeks, when they would be discharged, a prospect Drury called “a recipe for disaster and medically and ethically unsound.”

Emergency mental health services, which Genesis provides around the clock throughout the year, would be confined to weekdays between 8 a.m and 5 p.m. Drury said that the agency provides emergency treatment to approximately 670 individuals a year — and to some more than once — of whom two-thirds appear at the emergency room after 5 p.m. Without Genesis, responsibility for these patients would fall to the hospital and the police. Patients in crisis may become difficult to manage, posing a risk to themselves and others, which may lead to a stay in the county jail, where they require close supervision.

Like LRCS, Genesis would also be authorized to introduce a waiting list for mental health services for those without insurance, who represent the bulk of the agency’s patients. In 2010, more than 800 people without insurance sought an evaluation from the agency.

The budget also proposes reducing

the number of area agencies, like LRCS, rand community mental health centers, although no particular agencies have been designated for elimination. Santaniello and Drury feared that if LRCS and Genesis were eliminated, the community would lose control over the provision of services to its most vulnerable residents. Moreover, the close, collaborative relationships LRCS and Genesis enjoy with LRGHealthcare as well as municipal government departments would fray and the quality of services to those in need would diminish.

Both Erickson and Adams shared the concern that the budget cuts would place greater demands on emergency services. “When people need help and have nowhere to go they call 911,” Erickson said. “Our call volume would go up.” Adams described the programs offered by Genesis as a “buffer zone between their patients and law enforcement” and anticipated that without them “our number of contacts with children and adults with mental illness would increase.”

“We have no right of refusal,” Ward said, explaining that when the police bring individuals to the county jail for either criminal offenses or protective custody, they must be accepted. He said that they often require close supervision and mental health services, including medication, which must be provided at the expense of the county.

After listening closely, Carroll said that “the way we do business has to change. We have to take care of those who can’t take care of themselves.”

LACONIA - No one was injured yesterday morning when the resident of a Bowman Street apartment accidentally fired a gun into the floor of an upstairs apartment and the bullets landed in a downstairs neighbor’s apartment.

Laconia Police officials said Eric Trumbull, 26, of 25 Grove St. was charged with one count of reckless conduct and was released on personal recognizance bail.

According to police, the two gunshots came from an AK-47 and both went from an upstairs living room into the living room below. Police said the shooting happened around 4 a.m. but was never reported to them until

‘Believe in Miracles’ benefit for two Ashland ‘preemies’ and their families at Common Man Restaurant May 3

ASHLAND — “Believe in Miracles,” a fundraiser to benefit two “preemies” and their families, will be held at the Common Man Restaurant from 5 — 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3.

Andrew and Brynne (Johnstone) Salmon were expecting their first baby on February 27, 2011. Megan Lane and Ian Marcroft were expecting their first baby on May 15, 2011.

Both babies were unexpectedly born three months early.

Lauryn was welcomed into the world 15 weeks early weighing only one pound five ounces. In just a few months, she has undergone heart surgery that failed; had numerous blood transfusions from anemia of prematurity; had pneumonia; had serious concerns about her eyesight, necessitating transport to Boston and back; been diagnosed with Rickets Disease, which has resulted in eight broken ribs; and been on a ventilator for three months resulting in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. After 109 days at Dartmouth, she arrived home on March 10. She is on special formula, vitamins, and medicine and requires oxygen 24/7.

Aiden very determinedly made his entrance into the world 16 weeks early weighing one pound 13 ounces.

In the first few weeks of his life, his underdeveloped intestines ruptured twice. His lungs were extremely premature and all his time at Dartmouth has been spent on a ventilator. He has a grade 4 brain hemorrhage which is starting to show signs of restoration and a heart problem that will likely

require surgery. He is currently just over three pounds and has fought every day of his life to overcome the obstacles thrown in his path. While his future needs are uncertain, it is hoped that he may be able to come home close his expected due date of May 15.

Both families have been able to do very little since the birth of their babies except advocate for the infants and constantly be with them in the NICU. Both babies will require special and constant care for a long time to come. The emotional toll this has taken on each of the new families is immeasurable. While the parents are spending each possible moment with their child, bills such as mortgages/ rent, car payments, school loans, and the extra expenses of living away from home are mounting.

All are welcome to celebrate the lives of Lauryn and Aiden and show their support for their families at a dinner in their honor. The menu will include a choice of Chicken Kiev, Baked Haddock or Country Meatloaf for $20, with part of the proceeds going to the cause. There will also be a silent auction and 50/50 drawings.

Tickets may be purchased in advance at The Common Man in Ashland, Elaine Hughes Realty Group in Ashland, Tilt’n Diner in Tilton, and at the door. For further information or to inquire about a donation for the silent auction, e-mail believeinmiracles2011@gmail.com or contact Elaine Hughes Realty Group at 968-3112.

By Holiday Mathis both worlds today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are a superstar when it comes to debating, especially when you are arguing with yourself. Once you come to a conclusion, stick to your decision. Stand behind it or risk losing credibility.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You might state what you want, and very clearly. It won’t be enough today, though. You’ll need to make an extra effort to make sure that your needs are understood, believed and remembered.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The day will be productive as you follow up on your progress on all fronts. You’ll be accountable to others and yourself.

You’ll determine what has been done, make course corrections and plan for the next checkpoint.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ve been too busy to worry about whether or not a certain person has called you back. You’re in a much stronger and more active place than you were two months ago.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are amassing a large body of work.

Keep honing your style. Also, keep track of all you’ve done. Stay organized. It will help you to see the totality of your work thus far in list form.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 27).

Your personal life blossoms as you exercise greater amounts of emotional control and yet are still as passionate and persuasive as ever. In May, your sunny disposition will change the emotional weather for all around you. The next four weeks will introduce new friends and a better support system.

You have a special connection with Libra and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 19, 20 and 11.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll exercise greater control over your personal life by playing your cards close to the vest. Be very cautious about making suggestions or issuing casual invitations. Show only the emotions you want to show.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a package or card you need to send. It will require great organizational skills to pull this off -- not because it’s difficult but because it’s so easy that its importance could go overlooked.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You get to call all the shots today. Meetings will begin when you say they begin, and they will end when you say they’re over.

You will only tend to the things you deem important. It will feel good to be all-powerful for a while.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have more charisma than you know what to do with today. Loved ones may gauge their social or family status by how much attention and affection they get with you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes you have to lose control to realize what control really is. So if you experience a lapse in self-discipline, take a lesson from it. Ultimately, the mistake could be what keeps you faithful to your healthy routine.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You benefit from being slightly less available to others. You need time to yourself and also time for doing absolutely nothing.

The latter is essential to your health, creativity and well-being.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You benefit from spending time with different personalities, strengths, voices and mindsets. But at the end of the day, you want to talk with someone who sees things your way. You’ll have the best of

Free seminar for kids & parents at Eastern Dragon Karate BELMONT — A free self-defense seminar for children and parents will be held at Eastern Dragon Karate from noon — 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 30.

The seminar will include presentations by a panel of law enforcement officers for parents on how to deal with bullying and a discussion of the state’s new cyberbullying law, which has won national praise for its comprehensive status. Members of the panel will include representatives from the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department and school resource officers

from the Laconia and Belmont police departments.

A demonstration of self-defense techniques for children, designed to enable them to defend themselves against strangers and bullies, will be presented by Grandmaster Robert E. Young, the founder of Eastern Dragon Karate. Young, a member of both the USA and World Martial Arts Hall of Fame, was recently honored by the Shaker Regional School District as an advocate for children.

Reservations can be made by calling 524-7268.

LACONIA — The Winni Players, in conjunction with Temple B’Nai Israel, will present a staged reading of the Holocaust-themed play “Incident at Vichy” at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday April 30.

The performances of the play, written by Arthur Miller, will commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day. The 1964 play focuses upon the subjects of human nature, guilt, fear, and complicity using Vichy, France as the setting. A group of detainees are rounded up around the city and brought to a holding facility to be interrogated by a Nazi Major and his French police collaborators. While waiting, the men, who may or may not all be Jewish, are in a state of denial about their predicament and ultimately await their fate in the interrogation room as they convince themselves that the mass deportations and killings they are hearing about cannot possibly be happening.

Among the major questions the play attempts to address is one that has haunted many people since the end of the Holocaust — why did Jews so often walk to their deaths without offering resistance, and how were the Nazis able to perpetrate the Holocaust while so many people stood by and watched?

Playhouse Executive Director Bryan Halperin stated, “Each year I have tried to choose a different kind of play that looks at the Holocaust from a different angle and provides for new topics of discussion. This year, with ‘Incident at Vichy,’ I look at the question of ‘What would I have done in this situation? Would I have waited to take my turn in line for interrogation, or would I have tried to fight back and escape? Would I have tried to help others or just worried about my own survival?’”

Continuing with the format of prior years, immediately following the performances a discussion between the performers and audience will take place to allow people to share ideas and feelings about what they’ve just witnessed.

A minimum donation of $5 per person is requested.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, April 27, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have known “Cathy” since grade school. We are now in our 50s. In the past several years, we have become close again. Last summer, I set up a luncheon with “Lois,” a mutual friend of ours. Cathy also brought two of her own friends. The women seemed nice, and we got together a few times for dinner and we also took a few trips as a group, but I always felt like a third wheel.

I haven’t heard from Cathy much lately, so I finally asked her if something was wrong. Evidently, her friends aren’t crazy about me. Lois informed me that I had done some things that made them angry. One was that I left the beach early so I could get ready for dinner, and the other was that I didn’t participate in a discussion. (As I get older, I like to listen more and talk less and never thought it would offend anyone.) I barely remember these things, but I apologized to both ladies for not being more in tune with their feelings.

My husband and other friends were astonished that grown women would be so angry over something so trivial. I have a lot of friends and have never had this problem before.

I haven’t been on a trip with these girls in months and am not sure I want to. Meanwhile, Lois and Cathy have become very close. I still talk to Cathy, but she seems distant. I am sick over this. Can you help? -- Sick in Scranton Dear Scranton: Please try to understand that this is not a reflection on your ability to be a friend. It is simply that you do not fit into this particular group of women. It could be that Cathy’s friends are jealous of your longer relationship and are trying to marginalize you. Or it simply could be that you have different tastes and emotional needs. The best way to retain your friendship with Cathy is to remove yourself from this group. See her on your own. You’ll enjoy it more.

Dear Annie: Over the past few years, my husband has developed an odd habit. If asked a simple question, such as, “Would you like another cup of coffee?” he will reply, “If you are so inclined.” I find this rather peculiar, not to mention condescending.

The real problem is his need to blame others for his behavior. Last Saturday, he wasn’t able to mow the lawn. No big deal. Rather than say he couldn’t get to it, he rambled on about how our son usually does it, the sun was too bright, etc.

Our children are now beginning to notice. My husband insists this is how normal people act. Our teenage daughter commented that “normal people” don’t make excuses, and they take responsibility for their actions. How can I get him to see the poor example he is setting for our kids? -- Fran in Fresno Dear Fran: Your husband seems to be indulging in a little self-aggrandizement meant to make himself look good at the expense of others. We don’t know who he is trying to impress, but it obviously isn’t working. Perhaps if you call it to his attention, he will see that he would gain far more respect if he held himself accountable.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Sober in San Diego,” whose husband rants and says hurtful things when drunk and then denies it when he’s sober. I’m surprised you didn’t suggest that she get a voice-activated recorder and play his words back when he is sober. A friend of mine did this years ago, and it worked. If her husband drinks, at least he shuts up. -- Always Sober Dear Always: Readers have suggested such recordings in the past, and we think they are a great idea. Several also recommended video for a little extra punch.

2 major construction & renovation projects underway at NH Veterans Home TILTON — The New Hampshire Veterans Home will undergo two major construction and renovation projects this spring.

The first project is a Life Safety Infrastructure Project, which will include all construction services necessary and required to complete upgrades to the mechanical infrastructure of the Home and perform life safety upgrades. Construction of fire walls and fire barriers; installation of fire doors; segregation of normal and life safety power; switch gear replacement; roofing replacement on two buildings; soffit and fascia systems replacements; emergency generator installation; valve replacements; elevator upgrades (3); geothermal system upgrades; and technology infrastructure upgrades to support Electronic Medical Records will all be part of the project. The job has been awarded to the Turnstone Corporation in Milford and is scheduled to be completed January 2013.

The second project is a Multi Purpose Operations Center. The Center will be a freestanding structure connected to the existing facility by way of a corridor adjacent to the facility’s kitchen. It will be used as a MultiPurpose Center with shipping and receiving, kitchen, toilet/shower facilities, and conference rooms. The warehouse space will improve operational efficiency, allowing NHVH to buy certain medical supplies and food in larger bulk quantities, which will result in cost savings. It will also be used as an Emergency Operations Center in case of long term utility outages at the facility or as a resource in the event of severe weather conditions. This project is scheduled to be completed December 2011 and has been awarded to Trumbull-Nelson Construction in Hanover.

Jon T. Bossey, CPM, CHI, Plant Maintenance Engineer III, in the Facility Services Department, is overseeing the projects.

The New Hampshire Veterans Home will undergo two major construction and renovation projects this spring. The first is a Life-Safety Renovation Project; the second a Multi-Purpose Operations Center.

Exercise & massage at Pines Community Center to help with ‘Kitten Season’ NORTHFIELD — Pines Community Center will offer free strengthtraining and Zumba! classes on Monday, May 2 and Thursday, May 5.

Strength-training classes will be held from 5:30 — 6:30 p.m.; Zumba! classes will take place fro 6:30 — 7:30 p.m.

Although the classes are free, donations of kitten food, kitten formula, or large bags of kitty litter are being encouraged, according to fitness instructor Louisa Dell’Amico.

Spring marks the beginning of kitten

and puppy season — the time of year when unneutered cats and dogs start reproducing, and shelters reach their capacity of unwanted animals. Three to four million cats and dogs are euthanized in the U.S. every year, and the estimate for stray cats is 70 million.

“It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around millions of unwanted cats and dogs, but I’ve seen clusters of feral cats in Franklin, and it breaks my heart every time I see them,” said Dell’Amico, a longtime animal advo-

cate. “Of course, the most important actions anyone can take are to have their pets spayed or neutered, and to adopt shelter animals rather than purchasing from breeders.”

In addition to classes, Dell’Amico, a licensed massage therapist, will also offer mini-massages at the community center during the week of May 1 — 6, with all profits going to the Franklin Animal Shelter.

“In these hard economic times, we’re all pulled in different directions by

many causes that need our help, and sometimes it feels so overwhelming that we end up not doing anything,” she said. “This is just five days when I’m asking people to focus on the animals and to give as much as they can give.”

To view a complete wishlist for Franklin Animal Shelter, visit www.franklinanimalshelter.com. Rates for mini-massages are $5 for 10 minutes and $10 for 20 minutes. To schedule an appointment, contact Dell’Amico at 729-0248 or e-mail louisa@metrocast.net.
