LACONIA — Monday evening, while Police Chief Chris Adams was telling the City Council of a rise in attempts to defraud senior citizens, the prompt action of a police officer and local banker spared an elderly woman from financial loss. “It was around 8:30 p.m.,” the woman began. “I was sitting at the dining room table doing paperwork when the telephone rang.” She said that she answered to hear a woman speaking with an accent she could not place tell her that the government was issuing cards for senior citizens, which would contain their vital information in the event of an emergency.”She sounded very far away,” the woman said. “I gave her my name, address and phone number,” the lady continued. “Then she asked me the name of my bank. I said Laconia Savings Bank and she said ‘isn’t that, Bank of New Hampshire now’ and I said yes it is.” Then the woman asked for her account number and the routing number of the bank. She read both numbers over the telephone and was then told to provide the same information to another woman. see SCaM page 12

LACONIA — After nearly a week of struggling to get the pair of osprey to cease nesting on utility poles and instead settle into a man-made nest placed nearby, it appears the birds might have finally taken to the alternative nesting site.
The development came as Iain MacLeod, executive director of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, and Public Service of New Hampshire were planning to take down the nest and 40-foot pole and move them closer to the power lines along North Main Street, where the birds seemed detersee OSPrEy page 10

Tiger Scout leader ousted by BSA for being a lesbian
(AP) — The firstgraders in Ohio Pack 109’s Tiger Scouts didn’t know or care their den mother was a lesbian — at least not until the Boy Scouts of America threw her out over the organization’s ban on gays. Now, parents who were aware of Jennifer Tyrrell’s sexual orientation well before she took the boys on campouts and helped them carve race cars for the annual Pinewood Derby have rallied to her defense in a case that has reignited the debate over the Scouts’ policy. “I teach my children to judge people on their actions,” said Rob Dunn, a father in Bridgeport, a village of about 2,000 across the Ohio River from Wheeling, W.Va. “Whether you agree with their lifestyle or not.” The Boy Scouts of America, whose oath calls for members to be “morally straight,” maintains that as a private organization it has the right to exclude gays and atheists from its ranks. That stance was upheld by the U.S. see SCOUTS page 13

Hockey fans erupt with racist comments after Bruins loss (AP) — It had all the makings of a feelgood hockey moment — except the guy who scored the goal was black. Soon after Joel Ward eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins on Wednesday with a Game 7 overtime goal for the Washington Capitals, Twitter erupted in a shower of n-words and other racial insults. “Go play basketball, hockey is a white sport,” ‘’4th line black trash” and “white power” were some of the nicer phrases
tweeted by angry Boston fans. One said that the fact that a black player scored “makes this loss hurt a lot more.” The Bruins and the NHL quickly condemned the tweets that cast a pall over one of the most thrilling moments of the season and numerous Boston fans went online to denounce the racist tweets. But the outburst was a reminder of the difficulties hockey has had overcoming the idea that black people are unwelcome on the ice or in the stands.
“These classless, ignorant views are in no way a reflection of anyone associated with the Bruins organization,” the Bruins said in a statement. Anson Carter, a black winger who played four seasons for the Bruins during a 10-year NHL career, said he was “very surprised” by the reaction because the Boston fans had treated him well. “I thought we were beyond that. But then again, nothing surprises me,” Carter said. see HOCKEY page 4
Trooper who wanted Florida interstate kept closed was overruled TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida Highway Patrol sergeant opposed reopening a fog- and smoke-shrouded interstate highway, but he was overruled by a higherranking officer shortly before a series of crashes killed 11 people, state investigators said in a report released Thursday. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement concluded state troopers made errors but found no criminal violations. Early in the morning of Jan. 29, wildfire
Within 30 minutes of the highway reopening, the first of six separate fatal crashes began, involving at least a dozen cars, pickup trucks and a van, six semitrailer trucks and a motorhome. Some vehicles burst into flames, making it difficult to identify the dead. Eighteen other victims were hospitalized. Simmons used some rural slang in telling a sheriff’s deputy, in a conversation see FLORIDA page 9
smoke mixed with fog blanketed six-lane Interstate 75 near Gainesville where it cuts through Paynes Prairie State Park, a low area that lacks billboards or other lighting. Highway Patrol Sgt. Bruce Simmons wanted to keep the highway closed, but Lt. John Gourley gave the order to reopen it because visibility had improved. Gourley was worried keeping the highway closed also would be dangerous.

Bail denied for Wolfeboro man accused of rock attack on girlfirend
OSSIPEE (AP) — A judge has denied bail for a New Hampshire man charged with attempted murder accusing him of attacking his girlfriend with a rock and pushing her into a burning fire pit. Thirty-one-year-old David Ford of Wolfeboro also was charged with first- and second-degree assault, reckless conduct and criminal trespassing on Thursday. Police say Ford hit his girlfriend 10 times with a rock in the face and neck and then pushed her into a burning fire pit early Tuesday morning. WMUR-TV reports that police say the woman was too scared to call 911. Her father called police the following day.
Hunter indicted for shots that killed Mass. man in hunting accident
LISBON, NH (AP) — A New Hampshire hunter has been indicted in a shooting that killed a 31-yearold Massachusetts man. Forty-nine-year-old Wade Holmes of Lisbon has been charged with negligent homicide and reckless shooting in the death last November of 31-year-old Kenneth Brunelle of Marlboro, Mass. Brunelle was unarmed and walking with his father and brother on opening day of firearm deer season when he was shot once and instantly killed. WMUR-TV reports that the indictment charges Holmes with not pinpointing a target before firing. A telephone listed to Wade is not in service. It was not immediately known if he has a lawyer.
U.S. unemployment requests stuck at 3-month high WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits remained stuck near a three-month high last week, a sign that job gains will likely remain modest. The report disappointed economists, who had forecast a decline in unemployment applications. Even so, most analysts think employers will add about 175,000 jobs this month. That would be more than in March but less than the robust job growth achieved during the winter. Last week, applications for unemployment aid dipped to a seasonally adjusted 388,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That was little changed from the previous week’s figure, the highest since Jan. 7. The four-week average, a less volatile figure, rose to 381,750, also the highest in three months. When applications fall below 375,000, it generally suggests that hiring will be strong enough to lower the unemployment rate. The figures “aren’t bad; they’re just not as good as they have been,” said Jonathan Basile, an economist at Credit Suisse. Applications jumped sharply three weeks ago, a
sign that employers had stepped up layoffs and added fewer jobs. Economists said the increase might have been inflated by temporary layoffs during the spring holidays, when many school employees are laid off. But applications haven’t dropped back since then. And the consensus estimate that the economy will have added about 175,000 jobs in April is well below the average of 250,000 jobs added each month from December through February. The rise in applications follows a report this month that hiring slowed in March, when employers added only 120,000 jobs. Still, many economists suggested that weather distorted the March jobs report. A warmer winter likely pulled some hiring that normally would have occurred last month into January and February. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke agreed Wednesday that weather has likely disrupted recent data. The warm winter “made perhaps January and February artificially strong and March perhaps artificially a little bit weak,” he said at a news conference. “I wouldn’t draw too much conclusion from the March report.”
Manchester mail carrier charged with spanking child he let play in vehicle MANCHESTER, N.H.

“play house” inside. Police said during one of these occasions, Saucier allegedly spanked a 10-year-old boy. Police said parents in the neighborhood became suspicious of Saucier’s behavior and contacted police.

Sick pet leads Belmont boy to raise money so other dogs can be treated, too By RogeR Amsden BELMONT — When 10-year-old Devin Bricknell found out two weeks ago that his pet Boxer, seven-year-old Bailey, had lymphoma, he was sad, but determined to do something about it. ‘’I felt really bad. And I thought about how some kids might lose their pets because it costs so much to for their medicine,’’ said Devin, who came up with a creative way to raise money to help others. In less than two weeks he was able to raise $300 by setting up plastic jars with a hole in the top and a photo of his dog and a written explanation of why he was seeking donations at two locations, VFW Post 1670 in Laconia and the Our Place Family Restaurant on Union Avenue in Laconia. Thursday afternoon, while Bailey was getting her toenails trimmed at NorEast Veterinary Associates, Devin dropped off an envelope containing the money to Veterinarian Brian Tierney, who said he was impressed by what Devin had done. ‘’That’s never happened here before,’’ said Tierney. Devin said since Bailey has been put on a special diet and started
treatments with Prednisone, she has improved a great deal. ‘’She’s doing really well and acts like a puppy. I like to take her for walks but she’s pretty strong and not too good with strangers.’’ he said. Both his mother, Tasha Paquin, who works at the Our Place Family Restaurant. and his dad, Shawn Bricknell, who works at Mike’s Quality Car Care in Laconia, say they’re very proud of Devin. ‘’What he did is awesome, absolutely fantastic,’’ says Tasha. Devin, who is a fourth grader at Belmont Elementary School, also has concerns for the health of someone else who is close to him, his grandfather Mark Paquin who was diagnosed last November with stage two liver cancer and stage four pancreatic cancer. Tasha says that her father has been undergoing both radiation treatment and chemotherapy in recent months. Devin says that when he thinks about his grandfather he finds it hard sometimes to focus while he’s in school. But he says he still keeps getting good grades, even though he admits that his favorite class is gym. And he hopes that some day he’ll be able to work with animals.
“I dream of someday working at the Humane Society. I like going there and bringing things like paper towels
and dog and cat food to help them out,’’ says Devin.
HOCKEY from page 2 “I know racism exists. But if people think all NHL fans are racist, that’s the furthest thing from the truth.” He called Ward’s goal, which propelled the seventh-seeded Capitals into the second round, one of the biggest NHL moments ever for a black player, rivaled only by Jarome Iginla’s exploits for the Calgary Flames. Ward had scored just six goals all year before he slammed home a rebound at 2:57 of overtime to give the Capitals a 2-1 victory. The reaction to Ward’s goal “sets the league back in terms of perception,” Carter said. “The league has come a long way. To the casual fan, people
may have in the back of their minds that it’s a racist sport, and this validates that idea.” Ward called the tweets “shocking” but brushed them off, saying that he wasn’t even aware of them until a teammate brought them to his attention on the plane ride back to Washington. “It doesn’t faze me at all,” he told USA Today, adding that he had never experienced any racism in the NHL, only a few remarks at youth tournaments when he was growing up in Canada. “I think it is just kids,” Ward said. “It has no effect on me whatsoever. I’ve been playing this game long enough and I’ve not had any encounters of that nature.”
Willie O’Ree was the league’s first black player, breaking into the Bruins’ lineup in 1958, and there are now 28 blacks and a total of 68 non-whites in a league of 876 players. There have been a few racial incidents over the years, including a banana thrown at the Philadelphia Flyers’ Wayne Simmonds in a preseason game last fall. “It’s disgusting,” Simmonds said Thursday about the reaction to Ward’s goal. “Things like that have happened to me before. It’s not something you want to happen, but it’s sad in this day and age that it continues to happen.” The NHL said in a statement that the tweets were, “ignorant and unacceptable. The people responsible for
these comments have no place associating themselves with our game.” Said Capitals owner Ted Leonsis on his blog: “Shame on these folks who decided to take to their keyboards and show their ignorance and their racism and hate.” After Ward’s decisive goal, Carter tweeted “Warrrrrrrrrrdo!!” and was soon subjected to several racist tweets himself. Carter said he tracked down one of the tweeters, a student at Eastern Connecticut State University, and called the school president’s office Thursday. Later that afternoon, the student called Carter to apologize, and Carter accepted it. see next page

Gilford selectmen hire consultant to advise just how busy clerk/tax collector office is BY MIKE MORTENSEN GILFORD – The selectmen have hired a local government consulting firm to assess the staff needs of the Town Clerk-Tax Collector’s office, a move which the selectmen believe is prudent, but the town clerk-tax collector sees as a waste of money. Selectmen Chairman John O’Brien said that selectmen decided to engage Municipal Resources Inc. of Meredith before deciding whether to fill a vacancy in the Town Clerk-Tax Collector’s office which handles voter registrations, motor vehicle registrations, and vital records, and collects property taxes and water and sewer bill charges. At issue is whether to hire a parttime employee for the office after the departure of a full-time employee office worker last month. Town Administrator Scott Dunn said the employee chose to leave rather than accept a part-time position which offered no fringe benefits. Town Clerk-Tax Collector Denise Gonyer said her effort to fill the vacancy was supported by the Budget Committee in January and was reaffirmed at the Deliberative Session in February when a majority voted in favor of amending the office’s operating budget to provide the money for the part-time, three-day-a-week worker. “I followed the proper procedure and the voters have spoken,” said Gonyer, who is an elected official. “In my humble opinion the Board of Selectmen has a moral obligation to follow the will of the voters.” But O’Brien said he believes the selectmen are in a better position to gauge the staffing needs of town
departments than the Budget Committee or the small number of voters who attend the Deliberative Session held one month prior to town elections when the budget is actually voted on. “Denise got a slight win (at the Deliberative Session) to support this position,” O’Brien acknowledged. “But we’re closer to the situation than the Budget Committee or the Deliberative Session.” O’Brien said that during the budget process Gonyer argued the position was needed because her office was “swamped” with work. “We differ with that position,” he said. Up until March the Town Clerk-Tax Collector’s office staff was comprised of five full-time workers, including Gonyer and her deputy. In addition, there is one part-time worker and one volunteer, according to Town Administrator Scott Dunn. He said the office runs on a budget of $350,000, of which $308,000 is personnel-related costs. Dunn said Tuesday the full-time employee who left in mid-March did so because she wanted full-time work. Now, before selectmen decide whether to replace that person with a part-timer or permanently reduce the size the office staff they want an independent assessment of personnel needs. MRI will be paid $2,200 to do the study, he said. Gonyer said she was aware the employee had been exploring other career opportunities since the beginning of the year because of all the talk of staff reductions. Gonyer said starting last September selectmen and the town administrator discussed possible shorter office hours as a way to trim costs. She concluded the office hours should remain unchanged. But in November she said
from preceding page He said that when he got traded to Boston his rookie season, his parents were afraid for him to play there. “They had heard all the talk about
Boston being racist, but I got nothing but love there,” said Carter, who scored 70 goals for the Bruins. “I was a black hockey player — so what. I was a Bruin, and that’s all that mattered.”

she proposed reducing one full-time position to part-time “in order to help with finding additional budget funds.” In mid-December Gonyer sent a memo to Dunn in which said, “I owe it to the citizens of Gilford to try to keep the level of service the same. If the taxpayers choose not to fund it then I will accept that and adjust the level of service as needed.” But O’Brien said that Gonyer wants to fund a position “that we are not absolutely sure is needed.” That is why, he said, MRI is being brought in to do a time and workflow analysis of Town Clerk-Tax Collector office as well as compare its operation with other town clerk-tax collector offices around the state. He was unsure when
exactly MRI would have its personnel conduct the on-site study. Gonyer said that an MRI study conducted in 2004 recommended a second part-time worker be added to the Town Clerk-Tax Collector’s office, and that that report is still being used to justify the staffing in other departments. Gonyer said her office staff today is down 1 1/2 positions from what the 2004 study recommended and that while in 2004 it had funding for 244 staff hours a week, the office now operates a total of 188 personnel hours. “My feeling is that (this new) MRI study is unnecessary, a waste of taxpayers’ dollars and has become a personal target on the (town clerk-tax collector) and her office,” Gonyer said.

Nostalgic liberals don’t understand jobs of future I don’t know how many times I’ve seen liberal commentators look back with nostalgia to the days when a young man fresh out of high school or military service could get a well-paying job on an assembly line at a unionized auto factory that could carry him through to a comfortable retirement. As it happens, I grew up in Detroit and for a time lived next door to factory workers. And I know something that has eluded the liberal nostalgiacs. Which is that people hated those jobs. The assembly-line work was boring and repetitive. That’s because management imbibed Frederick W. Taylor’s theories that workers were stupid and could not be trusted with any initiative. It was also because the thousands of pages of work rules in United Auto Workers contract, which forbade assembly-line speedups, also barred any initiative or flexible response. That’s why the UAW in 1970 staged a long strike against General Motors to give workers the option of early retirement, 30-andout. All those guys who had gotten assembly line jobs at 18 or 21 could quit at 48 or 51. The only problem was that when they retired they lost their health insurance. So the UAW got the Detroit Three auto companies to pay for generous retiree health benefits that covered elective medical and dental procedures with little or no co-payments. It was those retiree health benefits more than anything else that eventually drove General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy and into ownership by the government and the UAW. The liberal nostalgiacs would like to see an economy that gives lowskill high school graduates similar opportunities. That’s what Barack Obama seems to be envisioning when he talks about hundreds of thousands of “green jobs.” But those “green jobs” have not come into existence despite massive government subsidies and crony capitalism. It’s become apparent that the old Detroit model was unsustainable and cannot be revived even by the most gifted community organizer and adjunct law professor. For one thing, in a rapidly changing and technologically advanced economy, the lifetime job seems to be a thing of the past. Particularly “lifetime” jobs where you work only 30 years and then get supported for the next 30 or so years of your life. Today’s young people can’t expect to join large organizations and in
effect ride escalators for the rest of their careers. The new companies emerging as winners in high tech — think Apple or Google — just don’t employ that many people, at least in the United States. Similarly, today’s manufacturing firms produce about as large a share of the gross national product as they used to with a much smaller percentage of the labor force. Moreover, there’s evidence that recent growth in some of the professions — the law, higher education — has been a bubble, and is about to burst. The bad news for the Millennial generation that is entering its work years is that the economy of the future won’t look like the economy we’ve grown accustomed to. The “hope and change” that Barack Obama promised hasn’t produced much more than college loans that will be hard to pay off and a health care law that lets them stay on Mommy and Daddy’s health insurance till they’re 26. The good news is that information technology provides the iPod/Facebook generation with the means to find work and create careers that build on their own personal talents and interests. As Walter Russell Mead writes in his brilliant the-american-interest. com blog, “The career paths that (young people) have been trained for are narrowing, and they are going to have to launch out in directions they and their teachers didn’t expect. They were bred and groomed to live as house pets; they are going to have to learn to thrive in the wild.” But, as Mead continues, “The future is filled with enterprises not yet born, jobs that don’t yet exist, wealth that hasn’t been created, wonderful products and life-altering service not yet given form.” As Jim Manzi argues in his new book “Uncontrolled,” we can’t predict what this new work world will look like. It will be invented through trial and error. What we can be sure of is that creating your own career will produce a stronger sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Young people who do so won’t hate their work the way those autoworkers hated those assembly line jobs.

LETTERS Touts of Medicare’s low administrative costs are misleading To the editor, A recent caller to Neil Young’s radio show, “The Advocates”, claimed the administration cost for Medicare is much lower than for private insurance companies. Since government efficiency is not consistent with my experience, I investigated. It turns out that Medicare’s formula for computing administration costs does NOT include all its real costs, costs which government demands are included in the calculations for private companies. So the comparison is not valid, and the claim is, at best, misleading. The formula used to compute Medicare’s administrative cost excludes more than half of its real costs: some of its management costs, policy setting costs done by Congress, tax and fee collection services provided by Social Security and the IRS, costs of capital, and many services provided by other government agencies. If you try to compare these administrative costs, Medicare has some advantages. Medicare doesn’t have to compete for clients, seniors are forced by buy it. Medicare doesn’t offer a wide variety of policies to meet different customer needs but which increase costs. Medicare doesn’t have to pay state and federal income taxes, real estate taxes, regulatory fees and compliance costs, taxes on premiums, collection costs, capital costs, commissions to sales people, and essentially it does no fraud prevention. Private companies spend money on effective fraud prevention to keep premiums low, and some offer disease management services which help customers, and but these value adds increase administration costs. Private companies need to maintain adequate reserves to cover unexpected expenses and meet regulatory requirements, and earn a return for their shareholders. Medicare doesn’t. Big government supporters will claim that profits are a big factor in private company administrative costs (profits are included in administrative costs). But, the combined profit of the top 10 (most from the top 5) health insurance companies is about $12.7-billion. $12.7-billion is small compared with the $48-billion or more
that Medicare loses to fraud annually. Medicare fraud, about 9-percent of the Medicare budget, is a cost borne by every Medicare recipient and taxpayer. Every administration claims they will reduce Medicare fraud, but none actually do. Medicare should have to spend to stop fraud. That would increase its administration cost but it would save taxpayer money. There are various studies that compare Medicare and private company administrative costs. One study adjusts Medicare to include inappropriately excluded expenses and adjusts private company costs down to eliminate some factors not applicable to Medicare. The result is that Medicare costs come in at 6-8-percent versus 8.9-percent. The study comments that the private company provides extra value for the higher cost. Another study acknowledges that there are a variety of ways to compare the administrative costs. They claim the correct comparison results in private company administrative costs being less expensive than Medicare. The basic problem is that comparing the administrative costs of Medicare and private companies is like comparing apples to asparagus, they are just VERY different entities. Making a fair comparison would be very difficult, people would have to agree on many complex factors: what costs really constitute administrative costs, how to adjust for differences in client sizes and demographics, how to adjust for extra value services, to include or not include fraud costs, how to adjust for costs that government forces on private businesses but not on government entities, etc. What do you call something that is so misleading that it gives a totally false impression? Is it a lie? Is it just misleading? Is it just taking advantage of people’s ignorance? Whatever you want to call it, the claim that Medicare’s administrative expense is substantially less than private company administrative expense is so misleading as to give a totally false impression.

LETTERS Santa Claus distorts the market for higher ed & costs skyrocket
Those who care about community will defeat SB-2 for 13th time
To the editor, Macro education is the most failed industry in America, not only academically but economically. Student loan debt now tops one trillion. It exceeds the total charged on every credit card in America. Higher education has managed to increase tuition fees 300-percent since 1990, out striping inflation by a factor of four. We have turned our nation on its head producing a bloody slug fest over health care costs that have increased half that of education while ignoring the complete, total melt down of education. People providing life saving health care are handed Obama scarlet letters while tenured union professors are handed higher wages and better benefits in silence. Ever increasing wage and benefit costs pass through dollar for dollar as higher tuition fees. Main Street America now finds its budgets buckling under the thumb screw like pressure. The failure to STOP the educational fright train of higher costs has resulted in N.H. students graduating with the highest average debt load of any state in the country — thanks in large part to instate tuition rates that are among the highest in the nation and never STOP INCREASING. What are the primary reasons that have allowed this catastrophe to occur? 1. Teacher unions dominate education at almost every level. The best interests of unions oppose the vital economic interests of every student and every parent helping to pay the enormous costs of college. Unions have four areas of primary concerns. None of them involve lowering the cost of higher education. A. Perpetual increases to wages. B. Perpetual improvements to benefits C. Employment security (tenure)
To the editor, The “You’re on your own” folks in Sanbornton are at it again: they want to shelve Town Meeting, where discussion happens around voting on warrant articles, in favor of solitude in the voting booth (SB-2). Solitude in the voting booth can mean that among warrant articles will be some the voter hadn’t considered and doesn’t understand for repercussions — and certainly may not understand for need. The voter can be confused, think about costs, so, understandably, vote no automatically. Where does this leave our town? With lots of “no” votes that with shared understanding possible at Town Meeting may have been “yes” votes, because what is put before us is not frivolous stuff. It’s the stuff that makes a town cohesive, functional, healthy. The SB2 - “no” people in Sanbornton want, simply, lower taxes. They talk concern for “participation numbers,” needing to mask their real issue. They don’t care about community. At an SB-2 deliberative session the small, agenda-driven number present could zero the library budget. So all the voters could do in the solitude of their voting booth during all-day voting is say “yes” or “no” to not budgeting the library, but not set a responsible library budget number. Yeah! a win for the “You’re on your own” folks. They could share among themselves, “Good! The library gets nothing.” Towns with SB-2 haven’t seen lowered property tax rates, however. The pro-SB-2 people suggest that
D. Expand the membership of those paying dues 2. Government has decided to play Santa Claus, distorting the economic market for higher education. They wrap college bound students in thousand dollar bills. This produces nothing but a feeding financial frenzy at every college and university across America. Dangling sacks of money are seen as the perfect excuse to never stop raising fees. Colleges and Uncle Sam have constructed the perfect crony capitalism economic relationship. Universities never stop increasing fees and Uncle Sam never stops sending kids with bags stuffed with ever more money to offset the higher costs. Democrats never stop demanding government contribute more and colleges respond by charging more. Colleges have little interest in controlling costs at any level. This explains why the price of their services never fall. The productivity improvements needed to mitigate the non-stop increases in labor costs are just a mirage and fantasy of the logical. Higher labor efficiency is the last thing teacher’s unions are interested in. This opposes all unions stand for because it could reduce the labor force. Lastly, colleges have concluded possession of a degree, that likely affords its owner hundreds of thousands in future earnings potential, is an item in such demand that they can literally charge anything they want for it. Until the public joins hands and threatens to boycott target schools like UNH by not sending their kids there, colleges will never CONTROL COSTS. Increasing government subsidies of any kind merely induces universities to raise tuitions as we have all witnessed so painfully for the past 25 years. Tony Boutin Gilford
the system’s deliberative session will be people “discussing the articles presented by the Board of Selectman (sic) and Budget Committee” (Brian Gallagher letter). Let’s get this straight: the SB-2 people voice that Town Meeting is under-attended, but they think a replacement meeting will be more attended? This surely is double-talk. A meeting is a meeting. Why would any thinking person swap a meeting (Town Meeting) where you can both discuss and vote right there, with one (SB-2 deliberative session) where you can amend the wording and numbers but not vote, and still have to put in time later to vote? Some SB-2 towns have half an hour in the solitude of the voting booth with more than 40 articles and weariness setting in. This isn’t good. The socializing at Town Meeting, with the Firemen’s Auxiliary selling sandwiches, cookies, fruit cup and drink, is a bonus good, by the way. Town Meeting is better. Sanbornton will be defeating SB-2 petitioners a 13th time, if this year we can do it again. Please make sure to vote on May 8th and to vote “NO” to SB-2. Preserve our Town Meeting that, by the way, we moved to May some years ago, to satisfy many of these same petitioners who then fretted about participation by those returning from being away in the winter, or at least pretended that fret.

Taylor Community PRESENTS:
World evil has never been so well organized as in our time To the editor, Victimology seems to be the order of the day. The language of the left cannot dig themselves out of the mire they dug for those who fell for their line. Progressives have nursed a romantic relationship with the poor. The hard working Americans who built America and created wealth for others have become the oppressor according to the party line of the left. The Welfare State: A creation of the left has placed the poor in bondage and created an “under-class” mired in a culture of dependency. Children without fathers, abortions on demand, and a host of many programs to keep the down trodden elements of society even further disconnected has created a monstrosity of adults who cannot function socially in a productive world. Self reliance is an inner strength that if perpetuated throughout society, government would dwindle in their ever encroaching growth upon our lives. The state would no longer reign over its people as task-masters and towns would be more concerned with the welfare of its people than the
power of regulating. The Federal Government would do only that which the Constitution grants it. No longer assaulting the states with programs of “totalitarianism”. Liberalism, fascism, socialism, progressivism, atheism, and communism would lose their flavor and favor to an enlightened America. By doing so, evil elements within the world would lose their ability to organize under false pretences. Entities like the United Nations would no longer be able to build its socialist world government. Evil has never been as well organized as in our time. Its effects can be felt throughout the world. By learning who and what it is we gain the ability to combat it. By understanding who the enemy really is and understanding their ways we gain control over our lives and become more self reliant and a happier people. Teach your children well. There are many out there who desire their soul. Gene F. Danforth Danbury

LETTERS Medicare costs are going to go up and coverage is going down
Bismark was anything but a dictator; read before you write
To the editor, Well here on Monday there are only three days until the NFL draft, one of my favorite non-sporting, sporting events. But disturbingly political news distracts me from my pleasurable anticipation of that event. It comes from a column in the N.Y. Post written by Benjamin E. Sasse, former assistant U.S. Secretary of Health, and Charles Hurt, columnist for the Post. (Warning seniors: this may cause your blood pressure to rise uncontrollably.) Sasse and Hurt reveal that one of the most oppressive aspects of Obamacare is not supposed to kick in until after the 2012 election. Obama’s plan calls for money to be taken from the Medicare Advantage Program, part of the billions in Medicare CUTS built into the plan, designed to force people into his plan. This will SLASH (their words) reimbursement rates starting next year. Heck if your a senior, like me, or a boomer soon to be retiring and going on the Medicare program, this is BAD NEWS. Our costs are going up and coverages will be going down. This would be bad for Dems in an election year but hey, they have a plan.
To the editor, Regarding Steve Earle’s dance away from the fact that he didn’t know the Nazis did not socialize medicine (which he stated emphatically): its easier just to admit you didn’t know. We all take our turns at making the mistake of speaking before researching. Instead now, you have made up an excuse about confusing dictators. The man responsible for putting Germany’s modern welfare programs together was non other than Otto Von Bismark. Responsible for the unification of Germany, the great German statesman Bismark was hardly a dictator. So once again, Steve did not do a simple Google search to find our who the other dictator was who was not really a dictator at all. And this was 62 years prior to Hitler’s power. Bismark was a staunch conservative but was able to govern with some moderacy. He ranks wirh Winston Churchill in his use of his language. His foreign policy kept Europe out of war until 1914. He was anti-union, anti-socialist and anti-liberal. The reason why the welfare state was expanded in late 1800s was because Germans were going to America in droves because of higher pay. Bismarck sought to offset this with non-wage benefits for the workers. In this, he was largely successful and was able to slow the immigration to a trickle. How much ya wanna bet Steve didn’t google Bismark before he called him a dictator? Regarding Harry Mitchell’s letter about abortion: The lowest rates of abortion are in nations that have the easiest access to family planning services and abortion is legal. Belgium’s rate is 7 per 1000 while ours is 21 per. 300-percent!
Eight billion dollars is to be taken from the Department of Health and Human Services under a 1967 law allowing that department to spend money without congressional oversight on experimental medical medical techniques, procedures and such. This money will be used as a TEMPORARY, one year fix for the MAP. It’s cover story is to be called a “study”. Make no mistake this is a ruse to get past the election without angering seniors. It kicks the can down the road for that one year and one year only. Then retired folks get the kick in the guts that comes with Obama’s great plan. Pile that on top of rising energy costs (another Obama benefit) and millions of us old farts will be in real binds. Now you can be sure this will effect retired Democrats as well as Republicans so what retired workers have to decide is, is Obama really looking out for you? Is he really doing what is best for the millions and millions of elderly or soon to be retired citizens of America? I don’t think so, what do you seniors think? Steve Earle Hill
Why didn’t high taxes reduce entrepreneurial incentive in 50s & 60s? To the editor, The Republicans claim that higher taxes on the rich will reduce their entrepreneurial incentive to produce jobs. The reasoning is that they will lose their incentive because the money they can earn will be taxed away. This fallacious reasoning is laid bare in the following figures, which can be verified by any one using the Internet. The dollar amounts used here reflect the loss in value of the dollar over the years reported. In other words, the dollars have been adjusted to reflect today’s dollar. — 1952 top tax 92-percent on all income over $3,600,000. — 1969 top tax 77-percent on all income over $1,400,000 — 1980 top tax 70-percent on all income over $600,000 — 2003 top tax 35-percent on all
income over $357,000 The above taxes do not take into account the large loop holes which the wealthy are able to use before reaching a much reduced taxable income. The years from the 50s through the 80s were the years which produced the explosion in employment, new technology, manufacturing and exports. This is a fact that the Republicans chose to hide in their claim that the way for increased jobs and employment is to cut the taxes on the wealthy. Look at the figures, let’s be honest with the voters. We need more income to pay for education, infrastructure and the health of our families. We are going to be behind the rest of the developed countries if we continue on this course. Kent Warner Center Harbor

Shameful! In some places where abortion is illegal, the rates are over 40 and 50 per 1000 women and tens of thousands of women die from unsanitary medical procedures. Is that what we want? No. Taking the the pragmatic approach, not the legalistic, religious one is the only way unwanted pregnancies and abortions will be reduced. Any other way resembles the drug war successes. How is that working out for the Americas? Conservative approaches are legalistic failures that are naive about our animal nature. Pro-life solutions mean MORE abortions, more sickness, more death, more unwanted pregnancies, more teen pregnancies, more poverty, more single parents. As far as William McCoy goes, he also has it backward. Under Bush we had an administration that missed all the warning signs of 9-11. We had Enron and others where millions lost billions due to GOP love of a lack of regulations and oversight. We had the worst stock market crash since 1929, losing 700,000 jobs a month as his administration breathed its last breath. With continual obstruction, the plan of all the GOP from the start (Mitch MConell’s own words) was to make Obama a one term president. EVERYTHING THEY DO is based upon that plan and it is their politics that caused our market crash. No, the real McKoy is having a president who fights through all the hate and obstruction to fix the fiscal and military mess GW Bush put us in. Bush was our 9-11-stock-marketcrash-Pearl-Harbor President. Obama is the fixer just as Clinton fixed the Reagan-Bush fiscal mess. James Veverka Tilton

2 Sanbornton selectmen signed SSB-2 petition that I circulated To the editor, Voters of Sanbornton, I hope you will consider voting for SB-2 this May 8. I circulated the SB2 petition to be put on as a Warrant Article. I believe SB-2 will allow more voters to participate in the decision making of the town and please keep in my mind that more voters are a good thing! I have been chairman of the Sanbornton Budget Committee for several years and find that at Town Meeting often people vote for reasons that might make sense at that moment but when they get home and look further into it they find it wasn’t what they thought. With SB-2 you go to a deliberative ses-
sion which is much like a regular town meeting you can make changes to the articles and hear the positions of the selectman as well as the Budget Committee and address any other concerns that voters may have. Thirty days later in the voting both you decide and vote on the individual articles. These thirty days allow you to further research questions you might have had from the deliberative session, if you vote NO on an article; that line gets stuck with last years budget. If you are out of town or ill you can vote by absentee ballot. Today our lives have become very busy and this see next page
Sanbornton & New Hampton among towns looking for full restoration of promised flooding rights payments By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — Franklin, Bristol, Hill, Sanbornton and New Hampton are among the cities and towns left out-of-pocket while the governments of New Hampshire and Massachusetts wrangle over how to compensate them for land taken for flood control projects nearly 60 years ago. This week Senior Assistant Attorney General Peter Roth told the Legislature that his office will formally demand that Massachusetts to pay its share and if the Bay State fails to comply file suit in the United States Supreme Court before the summer is out. In 1953, the state took some 40,000 acres from 18 cities and towns along the Merrimack and Connecticut rivers where high water can be held to mitigate flooding downstream. The Merrimack River Valley Flood Control Compact stipulated that Massachusetts would contribute 70-percent and New Hampshire 30-percent to reimbursing the municipalities annually for the foregone property tax revenue on the sequestered land. About seven years ago Massachusetts began withholding its payments. Meanwhile, New Hampshire paid Massachusetts’s share in addition to its own until last year when it paid only its 30-percent and this year when it budgeted even less.The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has yet to tally the arrearage owed by Massachusetts, which some claim to be $4-million. When the House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on Senate Bill 326, which would require that payments be made directly to the municipalities, several town officials told lawmakers that being shortchanged posed problems since they FLORIDA from page 2 recorded on the trooper’s in-car video equipment, that he argued against reopening it: “I tried to tell them to leave that ‘sumbuck closed and they wouldn’t listen to me.” “I said it will roll in faster than you can shut it down,” Simmons continued. “This crap wouldn’t have happened if he’d have listened.” Gourley told investigators he was unaware of any specific policy or procedure and never received any formal training on opening or closing roads. He did not immediately respond to a telephone message left at the Highway Patrol’s Gainesville office seeking comment Thursday. A home phone listing for him could not be found. from preceding page modernizes the system. I and two other Budget Committee members signed the petition for SB-2 as well as two of our selectman. As taxpayers and citizens of Sanbornton, we sincerely believe SB-2 would be an improvement in town government! Earl Leighton, Jr. Sanbornton
projected the revenue in their 2012 budgets. Franklin, which ceded 1,284 acres, was due $38,000, but received $11,400; Bristol, which ceded 193 acres, was due $11,300, but received $3,400; Hill, which ceded 820 acres, was due $40,000, but received $12,000; New Hampton, which ceded 560 acres, was due $25,000, but received $7,100; and Sanbornton, which ceded 782 acres, was due $39,000, but received $11,700. Altogether the 14 cities and towns subject to the Merrimack River Valley Flood Control Compact were slated to receive close to $500,000 from Massachusetts in 2011-2012. The city of Keene and towns of Dublin Roxbury and Surry are subject to the Connecticut River Valley Flood Contol Compact. Sanbornton Town Administrator Bob Veloski said that the town lost valuable waterfront property on the east bank of the Pemigewasset River above Franklin Falls Dam and though the compensation is not a large sum, “every little bit helps.” Barbara Lucas, town administrator in New Hampton, said that town officials “are very anxious to recover the lost revenue.” She said that frequent flooding of the Pemigewasset River during the past decade has led to closures of roads in the floodplain and the Central Street Bridge, which was raised to accommodate high water. Officials of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs claim to be seeking a thorugh explanation of how the loss of property tax revenue to New Hampshire municipalities is calculated. “We want the towns to put pressure on the Attorney General to put pressure on Massachusetts,” Lucas said.
The report faulted the Highway Patrol for failing to create effective guidelines for such situations and said troopers did not adequately share critical information among themselves just before the crashes occurred. They never consulted technical specialists with the Florida Forestry Service or National Weather Service. Once traffic resumed flowing, the Highway Patrol failed to actively monitor the highway conditions, the report said. It noted that Gourley left I-75 to patrol U.S. 441 while Simmons and another trooper took a meal break. A fourth trooper was parked writing a report and fifth was at his off-duty job working security at a rest area. Simmons twice told Gourley about the potential for poor visibility to return. Gourley, though, was worried that keeping the highway closed would result in secondary crashes based on his prior experience investigating such wrecks. Other factors in his decision were that U.S. 441, the major detour route, also was closed and the only alternative was a two-lane road through a small town that couldn’t handle heavy traffic. He also worried that directing drivers onto unfamiliar roads in the early morning hours would be hazardous.

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD – The town’s selectmen have decided to join a multi-community lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the latest redistricting plan for the 400 seats in the state House of Representatives. The selectmen unanimously voted to join the suit during their meeting Wednesday evening. In taking the action, selectmen accepted the services of attorney Peter Millham, a long-time Gilford resident, and directed Town Administrator Scott Dunn to meet with Millham regarding the suit. Dunn said Thursday that selectmen have also instructed him to negotiate Millham’s fee in connection with the case. Under the redistricting plan, Gilford and Meredith would share a House district which would have four seats in the lower chamber. All four could be residents of the same town. Critics of the plan say that some communities which have enough population to guarantee them one or more seats in the House were instead placed into multi-community districts, in violation of the N.H. Constitution. Millham, a long-time Gilford town moderator, who met with town selectmen April 11, has noted that based on the 2010 Census, the ideal population for each of the 400 seats in the House is 3,291. With a population of 7,126, Gilford qualifies for two representatives, leaving an excess population of 544, which represents a deviation from the ideal of 7.6-percent. Meredith, with 6,241 people, qualifies for one seat, but falls 341 people, or 5.4-percent, short of qualifying for two seats. The redistricting plan addresses what the House Special Redistricting Committee took to be excessive deviations by combining Gilford and OSPREY from page one mined to continue building their nests. That determination persisted despite PSNH employees removing the nesting material once the alternative nest was installed about a hundred yards from the utility poles. The osprey continued to nest on the poles, which caused a pair of power outages Monday once the sticks and twigs became saturated with heavy rains on Sunday. In response, power company workers again dismantled the nests and re-engineered the tops of the poles so they wouldn’t be as welcoming to the opsrey. Still, the birds continued to attempt to build nests on nearby utility poles, posing a risk to themselves as well as threatening to cause future power outages. Frustrated, MacLeod and PSNH began plans to relocate the alternative nest closer to the utility poles as a means to increase the odds that the birds would recognize it as a suitable home. The work needed to be done on a tight schedule. Other local osprey, those with stable nesting situations, have already laid this year’s clutch of eggs and the pair in question was likely ready to do the same. Without a sturdy nest, the female would likely
Meredith in one district that would elect four representatives at-large, all of whom could be returned by either town, leaving the other without a representative. Millham said that the Legislature feared that deviation greater than plus or minus 5-percent would lead the federal government to reject the plan. However, he said that the federal courts have accepted “reasonable” and “substantial” deviations, particularly to satisfy a constitutional provision. Gilford joins other communities which are suing the state over the plan. Two of the state’s major cities, Manchester and Concord have filed the suit. Others potentially challenging the redistricting plan are Meredith, Sunapee and Deerfield. In other business at Wednesday’s meeting: — Selectmen approved a plan to install two memorial benches in Lincoln Park in Glendale, which overlooks Lake Winnipesaukee. One bench would be dedicated to the memory of David Barrett, who for many years was director of the state Division of Safety Services which includes Marine Patrol. The park is a short distance from the Marine Patrol headquarters and so Barrett would often sit in the park for “a little quiet time,” Barrett’s widow Wendy Barrett wrote selectmen. The other bench would be dedicated to the memory of Dr. Richard Heidbreder another park regular who lived nearby. — Selectmen authorized Parks and Recreation Director Herb Greene and Police Chief Kevin Keenan to testify at legislative hearings in opposition to House Bill 1341, which would repeal an existing law which prohibits shooting a firearm in more densely populated areas of a city or town.
abandon the eggs on the ground. With that clock ticking in the back of his mind, MacLeod was quite pleased yesterday morning to hear several reports – one from a PSNH employee and many from local birdwatchers – that the osprey pair was seen perched on the new nest on Thursday morning. With that development, he said the plans to move the pole have been put on hold if not cancelled altogether. “That’s a great step forward,” said MacLeod. Perching on the nest is not synonymous with adopting it as a nest site, he cautioned, though it is a strong indication that the birds are trying the nest on for size. “He certainly has decided to check it out and bring her to it,” he said. “Maybe it’s going to work after all.” The saga of the Lake Opechee osprey has generated a significant amount of interest, and the alternative nesting site selected by MacLeod provides an excellent vantage point for wildlife watchers. Only about 20 feet from the Ahern Park access road, MacLeod encouraged those who wish to view the birds to remain in their cars and watch from a comfortable distance. “Cars act as a wonderful see next page
Residents remain suspicious of cost in terms of trees & walls as M’borough board pushes ahead on Sheridan Road project By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MOULTONBOROUGH — After persuading town officials to shelve plans to reconstruct a stretch of Sheridan Road to town standards a year ago, residents of the lightly traveled byway remain skeptical of planned improvements to be undertaken this summer, plan that will be presented at a public meeting on Tuesday, May 1. Originally a cow path, Sheridan Road runs northward from Route 25 for a little more than two miles then forks into Range Road leading northwest to Squam Lake and School House Road heading northeast to Sandwich. Both the southern and northern reaches of the road have been reconstructed, leaving some 1,650 feet, or about a third of mile, in the middle in disrepair. Narrow and picturesque, the road is lined with mature oaks, maples and evergreens and stone walls. Last year the town planned to widen the stretch of road to 22 feet with onefoot shoulders and drainage swales to match the remainder of the road, but returned to the drawing board when residents balked at stripping the verge of its mature trees and stone walls. Bonnie and Don Muscavitz, who own property on either side of the road — a 200-year-old cape on one side and an auto body shop on the other — complained that widening the road to 22 feet would bring the pavement to within 18 inches of their bedroom and bathroom windows while the loss of stately trees and stone walls would amount to the “total destruction” of a country lane.
Instead, on the recommendation of Town Administrator Carter Terenzini, the selectmen applied most of the funds budgeted for the project to other roadworks, including repaving 7,950 feet of Sheridan Road northward from Route 25, and allotted $10, 000 to KV Partners, the town engineer, to redesign the improvement of the disputed section of roadway. Terenzini said yesterday that the new design calls for reconstruction of the contested section of the road to its existing width of 18 feet with a closed drainage system incorporating curbing and catch basins as well as reclamation of 4,125 feet of pavement from the intersection with Jones Road to the Sandwich town line. The budget for the project is $425,000. Terenzini said that fewer trees and no stone walls will need to be removed, though one stone wall would be moved during construction then reset when the work is complete. “Overall we’ve done what we can to address the concerns raised last year while protecting the investment of our taxpayers in the road,” he said. Bonnie Muscavitz said she is still “very concerned” and has asked Terenzini to mark the trees that will be felled and the walls that will be affected. “It’s just not necessary,” she said. “All that fancy drainage.” She said she counted 37 drivers who regularly used the road to travel from home to work and shop. “That’s almost $12,000 a driver,” she said. “The town needs a new fire truck. That’s a lot more important than fixing an old bumpy road.”
from preceding page blind,” he said. Should the osprey find the nest suitable, the female will lay her eggs and then settle into the nest as for the 35 to 40 day incubation period. MacLeod said that only her white head will be visible, sticking up from the nest as she guards the eggs. Meanwhile, the male of the pair will focus his efforts on finding fish to bring to his mate. Until the eggs have hatched, MacLeod said, the female will fly away from the nest to eat while the male takes a break from fishing to sit on the eggs. “She will not feed on the nest until the clutch hatches,” MacLeod said. A little more than a month after she first lays them, the eggs will hatch. The male will continue to bring fish, at a rate of several per day, to feed the growing family. If all goes well, the pair will produce up to three healthy chicks this year. In the fall, the osprey will fly to South America for their
winter home, a journey that only one of the chicks is likely to survive. After a couple of years in the tropics, the surviving chicks will have reached sexual maturity and will return to New England to find a mate. MacLeod said male osprey typically return to nest within 10 miles of the nest they were born in, while females might find a mate further afield. Osprey can live up to 25 years, and will remain reproductive for practically all of their adult lives. The current pair is estimated to be about eight years old, meaning they have a decade or more of chick-bearing years ahead of them. MacLeod hopes they are successful in furthering the remarkable recovery of the state’s osprey population, which was nearly wiped out by the agricultural pesticide DDT. “Hopefully they can get down to business,” he said. “It’s gotten them out of danger, that’s the most important thing.”
ROAD RAGE from page one been charged with a crime as of last night. An officer on the scene told The Daily Sun that the incident began with one driver, apparently driving a Jeep Wrangler, cutting off the driver of a Mitsubishi Eclipse at the Belmont/Laconia town line where Rte. 3 merges from two lanes into one. Witnesses reported that the driver of the Jeep continued to drive erratically in front of the Mitsubishi.
The confrontation occurred when traffic came to a stop in front of Walgreen’s, where vehicles lined up for the traffic light at Main Street. The Mitsubishi driver, witnesses said, exited his vehicle and approached the Jeep, opening the driver’s door. It was not clear how his injuries were sustained, but the Jeep driver left the scene only to be pulled over by police on Parade Road near the South Down Shores community.

Taste of the Lakes Region patrons don’t want or expect surprises at the Hart’s Turkey Farm table By AdAm drApcho LACONIA — Sim Willey, general manager of Hart’s Turkey Farm, said he learned the hard way that patrons at the Taste of the Lakes Region, when they come to his table, want what they want. He tried one year to bring some of the more unusual items from the restaurant’s menu, to the disappointment of the diners. “The folks were like, ‘where’s the turkey?’ So now, that’s all I’ll bring to this event. They want that traditional turkey from us.” Willey and the family-fun establishment have been partners with the Altrusa Club of Laconia’s Taste of the Lakes Region, held this year on Sunday, May 6, every year since it began 22 years ago. However, patrons haven’t tired of Hart’s signature dish and its simplicity. Roasted turkey, carved to order, and topped with a ladle of their home-made gravy. Explaining the enduring draw of the dish, Willey said it contains flavors that most Americans associate with holidays. “It symbolizes family time and
relaxation.” He and Chris Bernard, who runs the restaurant’s purchasing and catering departments, will bring several 35-pound turkeys to the event. They’ll also bring an assortment of dessert items. Like the turkey, gravy and most everything at Hart’s, the desserts are made in-house. “We like to show off our baking skills as well,” he said. The Taste of the Lakes Region gives diners the unique opportunity to sample creations from 20 of the area’s best kitchens. Held at the Conference Center at the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa on May 6 from 3 to 5:30 p.m., the event is also the primary fund raiser for the Altrusa Club, a service organization which provides scholarships and promotes literacy in the area. Tickets cost $25 per person and because there’s a cash bar, no persons younger than 21 will be admitted. Tickets may be purchased at Hector’s Fine Food & Spirits, Hart’s, Patrick’s Pub & Eatery, ColdwellBanker Residential Brokerage, or at www.altrusalaconia.com.
SCAM from page one When the call ended, the woman suspected she had made a mistake and called her son, a physician living and working on the West Coast. “He told me ‘it’s definitely’ a scam,” she recalled. Her son asked her to retrieve the number of the caller and told her when he dialed the number he got only a message that there was no such number in service. The woman called the police When Officer Dan
Carsen arrived she told him “I’ll never trust me again.” Although it was 9:30 p.m. Carsen reached Karen Cornell, a compliance officer who handles risk and fraud at the headquarters of Bank of New Hampshire. “I was glad I was here,” said Cornell, who confessed to frequently working into the night. Cornell said that she told the woman that steps would be taken to safeguard her accounts. “I wanted see next page

LRGHealthcare trustees tell federal government that Medicaid system in New Hampshire in ‘broken’ BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — The two dozen trustees of LRGHealthcare joined their counterparts from 10 of the largest hospitals in the state in charging that the New Hampshire Medicaid program is “broken”and asking the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency that oversees the program, to intervene. In a letter addressed to Cindy Mann, deputy administrator of the center, the trustees wrote that “our ability to care for the sick regardless of their ability to pay is substantially compromised because New Hampshire has abdicated its responsibilities as a partner with the federal government in the operation of a functional Medicaid program.” The letter notes that New Hampshire, with among the lowest reimbursement rates of all the states, reduced Medicaid funding to the 10 hospitals by more than $130-million this fiscal year. These steps were taken without any “analysis of their impact on the entre delivery system” or “consideration of how they would affect the poor and needy. They were done for one simple reason,” the letter continues, “to balance the state budget and shift the state’s fiscal problem to our hospitals.” The trustees explain that since they are respon-
sible for the financial integrity of the hospitals, they have been “forced to take actions we abhor in response to the state’s fiscal irresponsibility,” including reducing medical and support personnel, closing healthcare programs, withdrawing financial support from community partners and eliminating or restricting access for Medicaid patients. Describing themselves as community and business leaders, the trustees warn that “the failure of the Medicaid program will have potentially catastrophic impacts in our communities.” In closing they write “New Hampshire is not listening to us. We need your help to fix this ailing program.” Last year, the same 10 hospitals filed suit in federal district court alleging that by reducing reimbursement rates by a third the state has failed to ensure quality of care and provide those enrolled in Medicaid with medical services matching those available to the general population as required by federal law. In March, in a preliminary ruling Judge Steven McAuliffe held that the hospitals “make a strong case that the reduced Medicaid reimbursement rates . . . are far below the actual cost of providing care, inconsistent with the state’s legal obligation to set Medicaid rates at a level that at least minimally supports their ability to deliver medical care to the most needy.”
SCOUTS from page 2 Supreme Court in 2000 but has led many state and local governments to deny support for the Scouts. Male scout leaders who are gay have long been barred, but instances of women being excluded are not well-documented and probably rare. A lesbian couple in Vermont were told two years ago that they could no longer be involved with their son’s Scout troop. Because of the policy, Tyrrell said she only reluctantly allowed her 7-year-old son to join up in Bridgeport, where she lives with her partner and their four children. Told, she said, by the local cub master that it didn’t matter that she is a lesbian, she was drafted to lead the pack in September. Tyrrell told parents at their first meeting about
her sexual orientation. Some already knew her because she had coached youth baseball and volunteered at school, organizing class parties and reading to children. “She wasn’t trying to hide anything,” said Dunn, whose son is among the dozen or so members of the boys-only pack. “Nobody I know of has ever made a single complaint against her.” Tyrrell said she was removed in April, right after she was asked to take over as treasurer of the local Boy Scout troop — which oversees Tiger Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts — and she raised questions about the finances. She said the Boy Scout Council for the region told her she had to resign because she is gay.
from preceding page to assure her that her money would not disappear into cyberspace while she was asleep,” Cornell said. “We can close the barn door before the animals get out.” By 7 a.m. the next morning the woman’s accounts were locked and when the bank opened at 8:30 a.m. she was meeting with Cornell and others to resolve the remaining issues. “I didn’t lose a penny,” the woman said, praising the efforts of Carsen and Cornell. Cornell. “Dan told me to stop beating myself up,” she remarked, “but I’m still shaking and it’s Thursday.” She said that
she wanted to tell her story as a warning to others. Cornell stressed that with modern computer technology the least bit of personal information can lead to breaches of security. She referred anyone concerned about identity theft to the bank’s website, where they will find information and recommendations for securing their personal information. Cornell said that “there is lots of information available. The woman got a sense from all that information that something was wrong. She was a little too late, but she won’t be late if it happens again.”

Humber far from perfect in 10-3 loss to Red Sox CHICAGO (AP) — Kevin Youkilis hit a grand slam, Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered twice and the Boston Red Sox roughed up Philip Humber in a 10-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night. Youkilis, mired in an early-season slump, hit his second career slam into the right-field bullpen during a five-run third inning against Humber, who was making his first start since pitching a perfect game in a 4-0 victory at Seattle on Saturday. There was no such suspense Thursday. Humber walked leadoff batter Mike Aviles in the first, snapping his streak of 29 straight batters retired. One out later, the right-hander allowed a single to Dustin Pedroia, a dribbler up the third-base line that was the first hit off Humber since Nick Markakis’ one-out double for Baltimore in the fifth inning of the Orioles’ 10-4 victory at Chicago on April 16. Humber was tagged for a career-high nine runs
and eight hits in five innings. The nine earned runs he allowed after his perfect game were a record, topping the eight given up by Jim “Catfish” Hunter after his perfecto for Oakland in 1968. The resurgent Red Sox have scored 34 runs in winning their last four games, a streak coming on the heels of a five-game skid. Adrian Gonzalez followed Pedroia with an RBI double, and David Ortiz added a run-scoring single to give the Red Sox a 2-0 lead. After throwing just 96 pitches to complete his masterpiece, Humber twice needed more than 30 pitches to get through an inning. He threw 92 pitches over the first four innings. Saltalamacchia followed Youkilis’ slam with a home run just inside the right-field foul pole. He added a two-run shot in the fifth off Humber, his fourth homer of the season.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots traded up twice in the first round of the NFL draft to add a couple of players to the defense that allowed the New York Giants to march down the field for the winning score in the Super Bowl. The Patriots sent the No. 27 overall pick, which they’d obtained in a deal with New Orleans, and a third-rounder to Cincinnati for the 21st pick and used it to take Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones. Then they traded the No. 31 pick to Denver with a fourth-rounder for the No. 25 pick they used to take Alabama linebacker Dont’a Hightower. “As usual, the draft always takes some interesting
twists and turns,” coach Bill Belichick said Thursday night after wrapping up the first round. “You just never know how it’s going to go.” Despite winning the AFC title and reaching the Super Bowl for the fifth time in 11 years, the Patriots defense allowed the second-most yards overall and in pass defense last season. Hightower, who is 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, played for Belichick buddy Nick Saban on Alabama teams that won the NCAA championship twice in the past three years. Both he and Jones are considered versatile players who can fit into a variety of defensive systems.
IMMIGRATION from page 2 such as Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah. “I think you’ll see more involvement by local police in immigration enforcement, an involvement that hadn’t previously been seen,” said Kevin Johnson, law school dean at the University of CaliforniaDavis and an immigration law expert. A federal judge put parts of the Arizona law on hold shortly before they were to take effect in July 2010. Other states followed with similar legislation and — combined with other state immigration laws and an ailing economy — played a part in tens of thousands of illegal immigrants moving elsewhere. “If you want to turn around this invasion, then (you should) do attrition through enforcement,” said former state Sen. Russell Pearce, architect of the 2010 law and the driving force behind other Arizona immigration laws. Arizona has argued it pays a disproportionate price for illegal immigration because of its 370-mile border with Mexico and its role as the busiest illegal
entry point into the country. The Obama administration said the law 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. During arguments over the law, 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 a warrant. Civil rights groups say Arizona’s and the other states’ measures encourage racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping. Immigrant rights advocates, who believed the courts would reject attempts by states to grab more law enforcement power, were not expecting the justices’ response. They said a Supreme Court validation of the law would frighten immigrants further and cause Latinos who are in the country legally to be asked about their status.

GILFORD — The Gilford Fire-Rescue department recently held its 6th Annual Awards Ceremony at the Gilford Community Church. The ceremony is a chance for the members, families and guests of Gilford Fire Rescue to get together for an evening of friendship and recognition of those that have given so much to the department. The evening started with a group picture of the members of the department then moved into the Fellowship Hall where Chief Stephen Carrier welcomed everyone. The members and guests took part in a pot luck dinner prior to continuing with the ceremony. Chairman of the Board of Fire Engineers William Akerley and Town Administrator Scott Dunn spoke briefly to the members and guests and thanked them for their continued professional service to the community. Chief Carrier gave a review of activities and incidents for 2011. The department responded to 1411 incidents, the most the department has responded to in a single year. Members participated in a total of 2363 hours of training over the past year. Major personnel changes included the retirement of Chief John Beland, the promotions of Deputy Rick Andrews and Chief Stephen Carrier and the hiring of three new firefighter/EMT’s to fill vacancies. Call company members that have joined the department over the past year were sworn in. Members being sworn in included FF Tom Hanks, FF Richard Raper and Driver Ron Skinner. The awards portion of the ceremony included the presentation of a Letter of Appreciation to Driver/ Operator Ron Skinner, who was recognized for
living the values of the department’s recently chosen slogan of “Community, Safety, Professional Service.” Paramedic Rae Mello-Andrews was presented with the EMS Provider of the Year. Rae was recognized, among other things, for working well with all department members and being willing to learn from, as well as teach,her peers. Firefighter Nick Proulx received the Firefighter of the Year award. Nick was recognized for being the type of person you call upon to get the job done completely, competently and correctly. Retired Chief John Beland was presented with the Fire Officer of the Year award. Chief Beland was noted as being proof positive of what love of the job and “blood, sweat and tears” can accomplish. EMT Patrick McGonagle was presented with an Award for Commendable Service for initiating CPR and ensuring additional EMS personnel were notified of a cardiac arrest of a participant in the 2011 Timberman Sprint Triathlon. Pat was participating in the bike portion of the triathlon when he witnessed another participant fall. Pat immediately stopped and began CPR. The patient was subsequently revived and transferred to definitive care. Pat continued on to successfully complete the triathlon. The patient was able to recover fully from his illness and injuries. The department administration and Awards Committee expressed appreciation to the Gilford Community Church for the use of the Fellowship Hall, the award recipients and other members of the department for their time commitment, professional service and continued support of the department.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis tain context with accompanying rituals. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You recognize the sound of a soul’s cry, and it won’t be heard with your ears but with your heart. You’ll be in tune with the way others are feeling, and you’ll be a healer when those feelings are raw. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Usually, your actions are motivated by many different factors at once. What you do today will be motivated by a sense of duty, your own aesthetic enthusiasm and the chance for political gain. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you know what it’s like to love a certain person and not have that love returned, then you may also understand that it is just the kind of loss from which great art springs. You’ll turn past pain into something beautiful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re a true friend and a stellar partner, which you’ll prove with today’s approach to relationships. You’ll loan your strength to another instead of using it as a weapon of control. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll plan your day intelligently in the hope that less time will be wasted in mindless activities and useless chatter. Your forethought works brilliantly to keep you moving along your path. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 27). You’ll break big goals down into small chunks and get to work in May. June puts a new person in your life, and you’ll be creatively inspired because of this influence. August is your chance to trade up on a big-ticket item. With great emotional maturity, you’ll lead the way for loved ones in September. Virgo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 4, 17, 39 and 18.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Today brings a surprise and the thrill of experiencing what you couldn’t have anticipated. You are always finding new ways to unwind. Tonight, your favorite music will transport your mind to a beautiful place. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are finding a new sense of identity apart from your family role. You accept that your family did their best for you, and this is what allows you to accept yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When your sign mate Walt Whitman wrote that there “will never be any more perfection than there is now,” he wasn’t talking about the “now” that happened back then. He was talking about the “now” in which you are reading this. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Righteousness doesn’t solve anything and instead promotes a sense of inequality and division. That’s why you’ll focus on yourself and on doing what it takes to make your life better, regardless of the wrongdoings of others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be playing a social game of sorts. Some will take it far more seriously than you do, and this gives you an advantage. You’ll rise above the situation and form a strategy instead of reacting to the play-by-play. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be brimming with cool, novel ideas for creating fun times with your loved ones. Of course, until you try them out, you can’t tell just how cool they are. Follow through, and bring a camera. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Like a silk cloth dropped from a monument, life reveals itself to you with a degree of pomp and circumstance. You’ll enjoy the way events will be framed in a cer-

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 27, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, April 27, the 118th day of 2012. There are 248 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 27, 2011, powerful tornadoes raked the South and Midwest. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, more than 120 twisters resulted in 316 deaths across parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. On this date: In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed by natives in the Philippines. In 1777, the only land battle in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Ridgefield, took place, resulting in a limited British victory. In 1805, during the First Barbary War, an American-led force of Marines and mercenaries captured the city of Derna, on the shores of Tripoli. In 1822, the 18th president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio. In 1865, the steamer Sultana exploded on the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tenn., killing more than 1,400 people, mostly freed Union prisoners of war. In 1932, American poet Hart Crane, 32, drowned after jumping from a steamer into the Gulf of Mexico while en route to New York. In 1941, German forces occupied Athens during World War II. In 1967, Expo ‘67 was officially opened in Montreal by Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. In 1972, the Apollo 16 mission to the moon ended safely. In 1973, Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray resigned after it was revealed that he’d destroyed files removed from the safe of Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt. In 1982, the trial of John W. Hinckley Jr., who had shot four people, including President Ronald Reagan, began in Washington. (The trial ended with Hinckley’s acquittal by reason of insanity.) In 1992, the new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was proclaimed in Belgrade by the republic of Serbia and its lone ally, Montenegro. Russia and 12 other former Soviet republics won entry into the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. One year ago: An Afghan officer, Col. Ahmed Gul, killed eight U.S. airmen and one U.S. civilian during a routine meeting at an Afghan air force headquarters compound in Kabul. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Jack Klugman is 90. Actress Anouk Aimee is 80. Announcer Casey Kasem is 80. Actress Judy Carne is 73. Rock musician Jim Keltner is 70. Rhythm-and-blues singer Cuba Gooding is 68. Singer Ann Peebles is 65.

health operations. “As the tide of war recedes, we have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to anticipate the needs of returning Veterans,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “History shows that the costs of war will continue to grow for a decade or more after the operational missions in Iraq and Afghanistan have ended. As more Veterans return home, we must ensure that all Veterans have access to quality mental health care.” VA’s ongoing comprehensive review of mental health operations has indicated that some VA facilities require more mental health staff to serve the growing needs of Veterans. VA is moving quickly to
address this top priority. “Mental health services must be closely aligned with Veterans’ needs and fully integrated with health care facility operations,” said VA Under Secretary for Health Dr. Robert Petzel. “Improving access to mental health services will help support the current and future Veterans who depend on VA for these vital services.” To locate the nearest VA facility or Vet Center for enrollment and to get scheduled for care, Veterans can visit VA’s website at www.va.gov. Immediate help is available at www.VeteransCrisisLine.net or by calling the Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 (push 1) or texting 838255.

PLYMOUTH — Speare Memorial Hospital has received a Merit Award for its 2011 Annual Report “More than you expect’’. The announcement came from the 29th Annual Healthcare Advertising Awards sponsored by Healthcare Marketing Report, the nation’s oldest and largest healthcare advertising awards competition. Over 4,000 entries, in more than 30 categories were received in this year’s competition. Speare’s Merit Award was in the annual report category for hospitals with less than 299 beds. A national panel of judges reviewed entries based on creativity, quality, message effectiveness, consumer appeal, graphic design and overall impact. “We are thrilled to have our annual report receive this award,” notes Michele Hutchins, Speare’s director of community relations. “This publication was six months in the making, beginning with a review of past annual reports and discussion with various audiences about what messages, images and information have impact. Step two was taking that feedback to our creative team at Millennium Integrated Marketing and having them develop a design template that would deliver and compliment our core message of More than you expect. As this award demonstrates, we succeeded and are excited to share this honor with Millennium.” Hutchins explains that the 2011 Annual Report was released in September last year and the kick-off to the hospital’s overall promotional campaign that includes the Web, Facebook, newsletters and advertising.
