Laconia man says he served prison time with the mysterious ‘Misha’ who some believe radicalized older Tsarnaev brother

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — As a mysterious baldheaded, red-bearded Armenian known only as “Misha” has become a central figure in the shadowy past of the Tsarnaev brothers, a local man said yesterday that he encoun-

tered a man matching the description when they shared time in prison in Massachusetts.

Earlier this week the Associated Press (AP) reported that relatives of Tamerlan Tsarnaev — an uncle Rusian Tsarni, who lives in Maryland, and former brother-inlaw Elmirza Khozhugov — believe Misha,

described as a convert to Islam who visited the Tsarnaev home in Cambridge, led him to become a militant Muslim.

“Somehow, he just took his brain,” Tsarni told the AP. “The seed for changing his views was planted right there in Cambridge.” see MIsHa page 8

LACONIA — The campaign to reduce the rate of teen pregnancy has been one of the clear success stories of the past two decades. Since peaking in 1990, the national rate has declined 42 percent, dropping to a nearly 40 year low, according to the Centers for Disease Control’s center for statistics. Nowhere has that change been more dramatic than New Hampshire, which has seen its see tEENs page 8

Wash. judge tells police to return man’s pot

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Police in Tacoma could soon be in real trouble over pot.

The department could be found in contempt if they continue to refuse to return a small amount of marijuana seized from a man after a traffic stop.

Municipal Court Judge Jack Emery repeated an order to police Thursday to return the drug to Joseph L. Robertson within seven days or they could be found in contempt.

“Appeal or comply,” Emery told assistant city attorney John Walker. “Or next week, show up, and I would advise you to bring counsel.”

The judge first ordered police to return the drug on Feb. 28, but they have refused, The News Tribune reported Friday.

It was seized in May of last year when an officer pulled over the Tacoma man for speeding. He was cited for driving without a license and misdemeanor marijuana possession. Prosecutors dismissed the drug charge in December, after state voters decided to legalize small amounts of the drug.

U.S. economy grew at 2.5% in first quarter of 2013 WASHINGTON (AP) — After nearly stalling in late 2012, the American economy quickened its pace early this year despite deep government cutbacks. The strongest consumer spending in two years fueled a 2.5 percent annual growth rate in the January-March quarter.

The question is: Can it last?

Federal spending cuts, higher Social Security taxes and cautious businesses are likely to weigh on the economy in coming months.

Most economists say they think growth, as measured by the gross domestic product, is slowing in the April-June quarter to an annual rate of about 2 percent. Many predict growth will hover around that subpar level for the rest of the year.

Friday’s Commerce Department report on GDP showed that consumers stepped up spending at an annual rate of 3.2 percent in the January-March quarter — the biggest such jump since the end of 2010.

Growth was also helped by businesses,

which responded to the greater demand by rebuilding their stockpiles. And home construction rose further.

Government spending sank at a 4.1 percent annual rate, led by another deep cut in defense.

Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, foresees more improvement in the second half of the year.

“The second-half acceleration will be supported by improved household finances, see ECONOMY page 8

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhohkar Tsarnaev was moved from a hospital to a federal prison medical center while FBI agents shifted the focus of their investigation to how the deadly plot was pulled off and searched for evidence Friday in a landfill near the college he attended.

Tsarnaev, 19, was taken from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was recovering from a throat wound and other

injuries suffered during an attempt to elude police last week, and was transferred to the Federal Medical Center Devens, about 40 miles from Boston, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The facility, at a former Army base, treats federal prisoners.

“It’s where he should be; he doesn’t need to be here anymore,” said Beth Israel patient Linda Zamansky, who thought his absence could reduce stress on bombing victims who have been recovering at the

hospital under tight security.

The FBI’s investigation of the April 15 bombing has turned from identification and apprehension of suspects to piecing together details of the plot, including how long the planning took, how it was carried out and whether anyone else knew or was involved.

A federal law enforcement official not authorized to speak on the record about see TSARNAEV page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence agencies added the mother of the Boston bombing suspects to a government terrorism database 18 months before the bombings, two officials told The Associated Press. She called it “lies and hypocrisy” and said she has never been linked to crimes or terrorism.

The CIA asked for the Boston terror suspect and his mother to be added to a terrorist database in the fall of 2011, after the Russian government contacted the agency with concerns that both had become religious militants, according to officials briefed on the investigation. About six months earlier, the FBI investigated

Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, also at Russia’s request, one of the officials said. The FBI found no ties to terrorism.

Controllers to return; flight delays sway Congress WASHINGTON (AP) — Furloughed air traffic controllers will soon be heading back to work, ending a week of coast-to-coast flight delays that left thousands of travelers frustrated and furious.

Unable to ignore the travelers’ anger, Congress overwhelmingly approved legislation Friday to allow the Federal Aviation Administration to withdraw the furloughs. The vote underscored a shift by Democrats who had insisted on erasing all of this year’s $85 billion in across-the-board budget cuts, not just the most publicly painful ones, for fear of losing leverage to restore money for Head Start and other programs with less lobbying clout and popular support.

With President Barack Obama’s promised signature, the measure will erase one of the most stinging and publicly visible consequences of the budget-wide cuts known as the sequester.

Friday’s House approval was 361-41 and followed the previous evening’s passage by the Senate, which didn’t even bother with a roll call. Lawmakers then streamed toward the exits — and airports — for a weeklong spring recess.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama would sign the bill, but Carney complained that the measure left the rest of the sequester intact.

“This is a Band-Aid solution. It does not solve the bigger problem,” he said. Using the same Band-Aid comparison, Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., said that “the sequester needs triple bypass surgery.”

The FAA and Transportation Department did not respond to repeated questions about when the controllers’ furloughs would end. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who helped craft the measure, was told

by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Friday that the agency is “doing everything they can to get things back on track as quickly as possible,” said Collins spokesman Kevin Kelley.

In the week since the furloughs began, news accounts have prominently featured nightmarish tales of delayed flights and stranded air passengers. Republicans have used the situation to accuse the Obama administration of purposely forcing the controllers to take unpaid days off to dial up public pressure on Congress to roll back the sequester.

“The president has an obligation to implement these cuts in a way that respects the American people, rather than using them for political leverage,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a written statement.

Obama Care: What You Need to Know

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 27, 2013— Page 3

As most of us already realize Obama Care (AKA: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) is the new law of the land and is going to dramatically change health care as we know it.

But what are the nuts and bolts of this health care delivery system? Who are the winners and losers of the new health care law?

Medicaid Expansion Essentially, Obama Care is the expansion of Medicaid, allowing an estimated 30 million people to enter the health care market. What’s important to understand is the mandate. There are three components to this mandate: 1. Expansion of Medicaid.

2. Creation of health exchanges.

3. Incentives for small business.

The government gives these incentives, but as you might imagine at a cost to you the taxpayer. So let’s examine these three aspects or cornerstones to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: 1. Medicaid will expand to 133% to include more income challenged insures by subsidizing them to purchase a government insured health plan. It’s not clear at this time how many states will participate in the Obama Care Federal Funding as the Supreme Court stated that the states are not ready to participate in the funding of Obama Care by the Federal Government, as is the case with Texas and Florida. Both of their governors are adamantly opposing the expansion of Medicaid funding. These two governors, Perry of Texas and Scott of Florida, see Medicaid as “inflexible mandates, one size-fits-all requirements and wasteful bureaucratic inefficiencies”. These governors are staunch in the belief that they do not want Washington to expand their state welfare roles and then two years later abandon them.

Lastly, each state uses its own Medicaid income eligibility levels so all states are different. For example: Minnesota Federal Poverty Level (FPL) is 275% if you’re a working parent and want to get Medicaid coverage today, your greatest chance of success is in Minnesota, where the income threshold is the highest in the United States. In other words, it’s easier to qualify at the FPL in Minnesota than any other state in the Union. Conversely, the state of Alabama, where working parents can receive Medicaid benefits only if their income is below 25% of the poverty level.

For the states that agree to participate, Obama Care levels the playing field at 133% of the FPL. 2. Health insurance exchanges are probably the heart and soul of Obama Care and is designed to offer a menu of private insurance plans to pick from, all with a required set of minimum benefits to those without employer-sponsored health insurance. The objective of the health exchanges is to improve the quality of the insurance based programs that are offered. The regulatory arm of the Federal Government with the exchanges insured will be given increased choices and levels of care, but with certain “essential health benefits” yet to be defined. Standardization like Medicare plans so all consumers receives benefits at various tiers of coverage and they can be properly compared. Also in the exchanges are consumer protection components so inferior policies aren’t sold. Actually, there is little complaining on this aspect of Obama Care because it is largely driven by market related forces and actually has some good attributes. However; this is all against the back-drop of having to pay a fine. Time will tell if these exchanges ultimately work if they are successful; more than likely they will begin to encroach on employer based insurance. Lastly, the Affordable Health Care law looked to Massachusetts and saw that it worked. It worked and in fact, Massachusetts now insures 97% of its population. However; this has been at a tremendous financial cost! The argument to be made is will it be worth it to the American people and will we be able to

ultimately afford it all? In case you are interested to know who does not qualify for this program, as of this writing, Illegal Aliens and those incarcerated are NOT able to use the exchanges.

Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum The government has structured and standardized four plans offering various levels of coverage and “out-of-pocket limits”. The max out outof-pocket expenses for an individual is $5,950 and for a family plan $11,900. Additionally, in all of their plans are the “Essential Health Benefits”, which are included regardless of the percent of costs, covered by the plan. If you qualify based on your income level much of or all of your premiums are subsidized by the government. Obviously, this automatically reduces your true out-of-pocket costs. There is also being offered by the government a “Catastrophic” insurance plan for those under age 30. The plan will be less expensive than the bronze plan and complies with insurance mandate. The plan is an economy plan but does have preventative benefits and allows for three annual visits to your primary care physician. Also, if you are under the age of 26 and want to comply with the individual mandate, you will be allowed under Obama Care to remain a dependent covered by your parent’s insurance. If this isn’t enough in bureaucracy, there is also an optional “Basic Health Plan” for each state under the new law. Each state can create a so-called “Basic Health Plan” for uninsured individuals with incomes that are below the FPL. This plan is 95% funded by the Federal Government.

Okay, so there is a bunch of it and it is still up to change, but by 2014 these exchanges are ready to go by law!

3. Tax credits for small business. Small business must compete and healthcare costs are skyrocketing. The small businesses pay on average 20% more than larger businesses and their deductibles are higher. The Affordable Care Act seeks to level the playing field so as not to punish small business owners. The provision in the act provides tax credits for small businesses with 10 employees and average annual wages under $25,000. (Where the business contributes at least 50% of the premium cost, this would give the employer a 35% tax credit.) Obama Care is trying to appeal to the small businesses with tax credits. Also important to note, is the exemption from fines and/or penalties if the business is less than 50 employees.

The big picture is the Affordable Care Act has some good stuff and some not so good stuff. The American people are going to ultimately have to make that decision for themselves. My thinking is, if this becomes successful (Obama Care), then good-bye to all the conventional way of managing health care. We will all know shortly, as again, 2014 Health Exchanges are mandated.

I think I will stop at this because there is so much in the legislation that it is confusing. My head hurts and this health care legislation is confusing at best!

Belmont man said to have spit in eye of Lacona police officer while under arrest

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A local man was released on $2,000 personal recognizance bail yesterday after an altercation in which he allegedly spit in the face of a city police officer landed him in jail overnight.

Zachary Lesko-Lebrau, 22, of 200 Hoadley Road in Belmont is charged with one count of resisting arrest, one count of disorderly conduct, and one count of simple assault — all misdemeanors.

Fourth Circuit Court, Laconia Division Judge Jim Carroll also ordered that Lesko-Lebrau report to the Belknap county Youth Assistance Bureau at the Belknap County court House daily at 9 a.m., that he seek alcohol counseling, and that he stay away from 19 Jameson St., which is the site of the incident.

Police affidavits said officers responded to a call for a domestic disturbance and saw Lesko-Lebeau walking away from an individual on Jameson Street.

Police described him as “out of control, yelling and throwing his arms up in the air at the unknown individual.”

Police said he had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath and said his state of mind was fluctuating from emotional to aggressive. He was not complying with police orders and answering any of their questions.

Two officers place him into protective custody but when he was being escorted to the cruiser he allegedly began thrashing his body from side to side and trying to get away from them.

At one point he spit into a police officer’s eye and a second officer subdued him with pepper spray.

Once he was in the cruiser, police learned he had two orders of temporary protection taken out by two people who told police he had been at their home.

Prosecutor Jim Sawyer argued that he should be held on cash bail because of the assault on the police

officer. He argued that if he was going to behave that way to a police officer, it was an indication that he was unable to control himself.

Public Defender John Bresau said the court should know that the previous charges that resulted in the temporary restraining orders were not prosecuted and Lesko-Lebeau was placed in a diversion program.

He also noted that he was fleeing from a recent assault and this should be considered as a mitigating factor. Bresau said this wasn’t a case where Lesko-Lebrau was committing a crime or being belligerent.

He also said Lesko-Lebrau was living with his father, had a job, and has strong ties to the community, so is not likely to flee.

MOTHER from page 2 rorism database deepened the mystery around the family. The Tsarnaevs are ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who immigrated to the Boston area in the past 11 years. Tsarnaeva, a naturalized U.S. citizen who has appeared on television interviews since the attacks and reversed her decision to return to the U.S. after the bombings, has said her sons could never have been behind the deadly attacks and believes they were framed.

The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly about the ongoing case.

Previously U.S. officials have said only that the FBI investigated Tamerlan. But in March 2011, the Russians asked the FBI to look into his mother as well because of concerns they were religious militants who planned to travel back to Russia, the official said.

The FBI found nothing to link either person to terrorism, and the FBI closed the investigations in June 2011. Then, the Russians in the fall sent the same warning to the CIA. The CIA asked the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center to add the mother’s and son’s names to its huge, classified database of people known to be terrorists and those who are suspected of having terror ties, called the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE. Being in that database does not mean the U.S. government has evidence that links someone to terrorism. About a year ago, there were some 745,000 names in the database. Intelligence analysts add names and partial names to TIDE when terrorrelated intelligence is shared with them. see next page

Belmont man appeals conviction for lewdness tied to Roberts Beach incident

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — The local man who was found guilty of indecent exposure and lewdness last year in district court for masturbating while sitting naked in his car at Leslie Roberts Beach has appealed the verdict to Belknap County Supreme Court.

Merrill Fitts, 64, of 28 Lakewood Drive is appealing the finding because he said the state cannot prove that he knowingly exposed himself, knowing other people were present. He said the only person who saw him was a N.H. Fish and Game Officer Mike Eastman whose report said he sneaked up on Fitts’s car and observed him.

Eastman responded to assist police on March 23, 2012 at 2:38 p.m. after hearing the call from the Belmont Police dispatcher. After observing Fitts, Eastman waited until a Belmont Police Officer arrived and the two confronted him. Belmont Police had been notified by a female caller who reported a male had exposed himself at the beach.

Police reports said the Belmont officer made his presence known and Fitts covered himself. Fitt’s lawyer, David Bownes said one element of the crime is that he had to know he would likely cause affront or alarm. He said Fitts was alone in his car at the end of the road with nobody around. from preceding page Tsarnaeva said it would not surprise her if she was listed in a U.S. terror database.

“It’s all lies and hypocrisy,” she told the AP from Dagestan. “I’m sick and tired of all this nonsense that they make up about me and my children.

People know me as a regular person, and I’ve never been mixed up in any criminal intentions, especially any linked to terrorism.”

He cited case law whereby a similar conviction was overturned because the person accused of the crime thought no one was around and he was seen only on a security camera.

Police also said that during a conversation they had with him after he put on his clothes and got out of his car, Eastman explained to him that while it was okay for him to go to the beach it was not right for him to sit in his car and masturbate.

Eastman said Fitts replied, “Yeah, you’re probably right.”

The Belknap County Attorney’s Office responded with a different case where a man was convicted when a store clerk looked out a window and saw a man masturbating in his truck.

The County Attorney said there was no evidence in that case that the man knew he was being observed but his conviction was upheld.

“Similarly,” wrote Atty Roni Karnis, “Fitts was sitting in a vehicle in a public place and, unbeknownst to him, a person (Officer Eastman) did observe his exposed penis.”

After his conviction on August 11, 2012 in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, Fitts was sentenced to 12 months in the Belknap County House of Corrections with all but seven days suspended. A fine of $1,500 was also suspended.

A search of U.S. criminal records showed only that Tsarnaeva was arrested in June 2012 in Natick, Mass., on a shoplifting charge over the alleged theft of $1,624 worth of women’s clothing from a Lord & Taylor department store. She was arrested and charged with larceny over $250 and two counts of malicious or wanton property damage. Tamerlan had traveled to Russia in January 2012 and returned in July.

Right moving to gag ag biz journalists & whistleblowers In most state legislatures today, “off the wall” has become the political center, and bizarre bills are no longer unusual.

Still, it seems strange that legislators in so many states — including Arkansas, California, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Vermont — have simultaneously been pushing “ag-gag” bills that are not merely outrageous, but downright un-American. Each is intended to quash free speech by banning journalists, whistleblowers, workers and other citizens from exposing illegal, abusive or unethical treatment of animals that are incarcerated in the factory feeding operations of huge corporations.

Our nation’s founders mounted a revolution to establish our freepress and free-speech rights, enshrining them in the First Amendment to ensure the free exchange of ideas — even when the Powers That Be didn’t like the message that such freedoms produce.

In fact, the Founders knew from hard experience that the protection of those freedoms was especially essential when the Powers That Be have something they’re eager to hide from the citizenry.

Yet here comes a mess of so-called “conservatives” attempting to use state government to outlaw messengers who shine a light on corporate wrongdoing — turning those who expose crimes into criminals. Even kookier, these repressive laws declare that truth-tellers who so much as annoy or embarrass the corporate owner of the animal factory are guilty of “an act of terrorism.”

Oddly, each of these state proposals is practically identical, even including much of the same wording. That’s because, unbeknownst to the public and other legislators, the bills don’t originate from the state lawmakers who introduce them.

Instead, they come from a Washington-based corporate front group named ALEC — the American Legislative Exchange Council.

This infamous “bill mill” periodically convenes its corporate funders to write model bills that serve their special interests. Then ALEC farms out bills to its trusted cadre of state lawmakers across the country, who introduce them as their own, not mentioning the corporate powers

behind them.

The secretive ALEC network produced the model ag-gag bill in 2002 and began shipping it from state to state under the ominous tile, “Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act.” The freedom-busting terrorists in this fight are not those who reveal the abuse, but the soulless factoryfarm profiteers in the corporate suites and the cynical lawmakers who serve them.

Actually, factory farms are not farms at all. They are corporate-run concentration camps for pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys and other food animals.

Held in corporate confinement, these creatures of nature are denied any contact with their natural world, instead being crammed by the thousands into concrete-andmetal buildings, where they are locked in torturously tiny cages for the duration of their so-called “life” — which is nasty, brutish and short.

All this merely so food giants like Tyson Foods, Smithfield and Borden can grab fatter and quicker profits.

Their abusive industrial system is so disgusting that America’s consumers would gag at the sight of it.

That’s why they’re desperate to keep you from knowing what goes on inside. Nonetheless, word has been getting out, as animal rights advocates, consumer groups, reporters, unions and others have exposed some of the realities of animal confinement to the public, including showing wretch-inducing photos and videos. Rather than cleaning up their act, however, the industrial food powers have simply doubled down on disgusting by getting industry-funded state legislators to go after anyone who reveals their ugly secrets.

Their attack on whistleblowers will gag you almost as badly as viewing the gross animal abuse. But, really, who do they think they’re fooling? If they have to pass a law that says, “Don’t look here,” people will naturally wonder what they’re hiding — and will demand to see it and change it. Six states have passed ag-gag laws, and six more are presently moving toward passage.

— LETTERS — How many disastrous events will Sen. Ayotte need to hear of?

To the editor, As a resident of New Hampshire, I am so very disappointed and saddened that our Senator Kelly Ayotte voted against any and all of the recent gun control bills. Senator Ayotte has done the wrong thing. She had a chance to be so very popular with those of us in New Hampshire who are against any and all gun violence. I am still in disbelief over her very wrong decision.

Voting with those very few people in the Senate who are tone deaf to what the majority of people in the entire United States want and need is pure dismissal of logic.

How many more disastrous events do we have to suffer through before Senator Ayotte realizes she made the wrong decision?

LETTERS Let’s not allow our Newfound area to turn into Tehachapi East To the editor, We recently visited Tehachapi, CA. We had no prior familiarity with the area.

As we were approaching Tehachapi at night, we drove over the crest of a hill and suddenly saw the entire landscape for several miles before us totally transformed. Hundreds of blinking, bright red lights lit up the sky and the mountain ridges, overpowering everything else in our view. Our first thought (only half-jokingly) was that we had made a wrong turn and were entering Las Vegas. When we learned the lights were wind towers, we had the sad realization that what we were looking at is what the Newfound Lake area could well look like if the wind power companies have their way.

We learned that Tehachapi is host to some 5,000 of the 15,000 wind towers in place in California, thanks in part to that state’s generous tax breaks for this destructive and highly dubious source of energy. Imagine the visual and environmental impacts from 15,000 wind towers, then consider that they provide less than 5 percent of California’s electricity. With investments like that, California’s recent budget fiascoes are no surprise. For photos showing what these towers have done to Tehachapi’s landscape, as well as videos and other information on the effects of wind farms and the treacherous maintenance problems they present (and the consequent neglect), google on “wattsupwiththat the reality of ca wind.” The more we learn about wind power, its visual and environmental effects, and its comparatively miniscule energy contribution, the more amazing it is that we as a society are not only permitting its development, but facilitating it by supporting it with tax dollars.

The least we can do is to get it right in the Newfound region. It would be senseless to allow more and higher wind towers to devastate the natural beauty the area is renowned for, and in turn ruin its economy. The region can hardly be accused of selfishly opposing renewable energy sources, being the home already of two biomass plants, two hydropower projects and the existing 24-tower wind farm. So it’s not a case of “Not In My Backyard.” It’s a case of “Enough Is Enough.” We’ve already done more

than our part in the way of sacrifices for renewable energy.

And this region is clearly not unique from a technical suitability standpoint.

The wind power companies are fond of saying that wind-speed maps and similar data are only guides, not gospel. But when all such guides show the Newfound region as not unusually windy, one has to wonder about the developers’ real motivation. N.H. Windwatch has several such guides on its website.

Here’s another: Of 284 zip codes in N.H. for which average wind speed data are available, the highest rank of any zip code in this area is 116 (zip code 03240 – Grafton). The 03222 (Bristol, Bridgewater, Alexandria) and 03241 (Hebron, Groton) zip codes rank 184 and 211. So the Bristol-Bridgewater-AlexandriaHebron-Groton areas are well within the bottom half of wind speeds in N.H., and there are at least 115 locations in N.H. with higher average winds than Grafton. (Source: USA.com; google “nh wind speeds by zip codes.”) Clearly, there is more afoot here than wind speeds. If wind were the only criterion for these companies, why aren’t they pursuing projects on Mount Washington, one of the windiest places on earth, or in Franconia Notch, or elsewhere in the Presidential Range, or along the N.H. coastline, all of which have wind speeds far greater than the Newfound area? The answer, of course, is that they know they wouldn’t be allowed there.

Another letter writer has accurately pointed out that Ed Cherian, the project manager for Iberdrola, one of the companies proposing additional wind farms in the Newfound area, stated at a public meeting last fall that they do not want to construct wind towers where they’re not wanted. He was also quoted in a news report last September, saying, “our relationship with the town ... and the people ... that live here is critical. If the town said ‘You know, thanks, but no thanks,’ we wouldn’t ... come here.” So let’s see how well they’ve been welcomed: Even after a glossy direct-mail campaign by Iberdrola, the tally was overwhelmingly against wind farms in every Newfound area town that voted on the overall issue last month (including Alexandria and Grafton, where see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 27, 2013 — Page 7

LETTERS Inappropriate to fund Catholic schools with public money

Rep. Worsman’s tone & demeanor have been inappropriate

To the editor, Dear Mr. Demakowski, I served on the School Board in Franklin for two and half years. I was the chair of the Policy Committee and a member of the Finance Committee.

And no, I don’t have have a religious prejudice, I was born a Catholic and still to this day consider myself one and am respectful of the religion.

I also run a business that employs about 140 people in Laconia. If the government wants to give small business tax credits why not give credits for giving money to public education that much needs it, especially in your hometown of Franklin. The reason schools are under funded is not because of performance. We citizens pay taxes so we can take care of our public schools. Funding is not automatically reduced if students perform poorly. There are also school boards elected to make sure the schools work and if the school board doesn’t do its job voters can and will elect new members. That’s one way how democ-

To the editor, On April 17 I attended the Belknap County Convention meetings, both the Executive Committee session and the general session. Through the winter I had read articles and letters about the meetings and decided to attend one. While the articles published give an overview of the meetings as well as some of the words exchanged, I now understand what people meant when they said you had to attend a meeting to get a real appreciation for what actually takes place.

We elect both our commissioners and our state reps; each has responsibilities of their individual positions and a mutual responsibility relative to the county. It is reasonable for us to expect that their mutual responsibilities relative to the county would be carried out with the best interest of the county and with mutual respect for each other. However, as all who have followed the 2013 convention know, the situation has become very contentious and that played out at these meetings on April 17 as well.

What was striking to me was the tone and demeanor the convention chair, Rep. Worsman, used when speaking to the commissioners and the staff present at the executive session. You can read her recent letters and the articles on the convention meetings and what she says, including accusing the staff and commissioners of illegal activity, but until you hear how the words are spoken you simply do not get the full impact of how unprofessional she is. Rep. Worsman’s tone and demeanor was overtly rude and condescending towards

racy works.

In response to your quick judgment, I am proud and happy that Laconia has a great Catholic private school that seems to offer more than just daily science and math but also a little bit of the faith that we all need. It’s a poor argument to attack a public official on where he sends his kids. I’ve had the privilege to work in an after school program with another teacher from the private school. She was no different than a teacher in public school. But it is inappropriate to fund them with public money from all taxpayers. Under the voucher program, we taxpayers are paying twice; once in the tax giveaway to the business that gives money to the voucher, and second because over $4,000 is automatically taken away from public school funding for each student who leaves to go to a voucher school. Public money and incentives should be for public programs.

America’s Islamic Trojan Horse indeed operates from White House To the editor, Osama Bin Laden had outlived his usefulness and was sacrificed to help implant “Obama” in the United States.

Most of us have no idea how he was allowed to run for president but some of us do know how he got elected. (Maybe we need to use thumb prints, or finger prints — something irrefutable.)

There are the multitudes who “willingly” voted for him many times, and the machines that were fixed to count votes for him, instead of how “the people” voted. Then there are the “absentee ballots” sent in by his people instead of the ones whom they were purported to be from.

This is why he would not allow any forms of voter identification in this election.

Also, the “Educated Elite” have been leading our young people astray for decades and now have been taught to use “real” brainwashing. When the “brainwashees” go to the voting booth, their brain clicks into the mind sets

and many votes by the way have been programmed in the schools.

For over 30 years they have been “brainwashing” some of them, beginning with the election or Bill Clinton. If you do not believe me, stop, and after you leave the voting booth read your ballot, before you put it in the machine the next time. It works on almost everyone, if you are under their influence, that is why Obama was elected.

What really scares me is how may in the military have been programed, and to what? He has orders to the military officers: “Agree to shoot American citizens or be kicked out of the service!”

Alan Keyes is right — America’s Islamic “Trojan Horse” operates out of the White House.

Liberal-supremacy is the worst sucker ploy ever perpetrated.

Sarah M. Brown Belmont

He should have thought about services before moving to South Down To the editor, Mr. Robert of South Down is correct that City Councilors Armand Bolduc and Ava Doyle do represent homeowners there, in addition to the rest of their respective wards.

He is correct that he has to buy a dump sticker if he wants to take materials to the Meredith Center Road facility. So do I and I don’t live in South Down.

He is also correct that he receives no city services except for schools for the

students who live there.

What he doesn’t point out is that he should have known about the lack of city services, such as trash pickup and snow plowing before he moved to the private development.

And he should also know that South Down residents cannot keep people off the railroad tracks right-of way as they used to attempt to do when my children walked along the tracks.

from preceding page towers are proposed). Moreover, the Newfound Lake Region Association, the selectboards of Bristol and Bridgewater, state legislators from the area, and the Conservation Commission of Alexandria, among other groups, have all urged a halt to wind farm development. The region has, in fact, said loudly and clearly, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Despite Iberdrola’s prior

soothing assurances, however, there is still no indication that they, the other companies, or even New Hampshire’s Site Evaluation Committee are willing to recognize that strong message.

I urge all others in the Newfound area to make their voices heard, before it’s too late and the Newfound region becomes Tehachapi East.

Jim Crawford Bridgewater

the commissioners and the county staff present. As convention chair, the tone, both verbally and physical, that she and Rep. Tilton, chair of the Executive Committee, set was clearly adversarial. In the general session this was also how she responded to the Democratic state reps; none of the eight Democrat state reps are on the Executive Committee. The Democrat state reps asked only a few questions yet Rep. Worsman responded curtly and sharply to each one. The different inflections in her voice were unmistakable when she spoke to the commissioners, county staff as well as the Democratic state reps.

We will have to let the lawyer’s determine whether the position that Rep. Worsman has taken relative to responsibilities of the reps versus those of the commissioners is correct.

But no lawyers or judge are needed to know that Rep. Worsman’s tone and demeanor are totally inappropriate and unprofessional. We have all experienced difficult situations but even in those circumstances we owe each other basic common courtesy; no one deserves to be spoken to the way she and Rep. Tilton spoke to the commissioners and the xounty staff at this meeting, or the way she spoke to the Democratic atate eeps. If she was working in a business, the way Rep. Worsman speaks to her peers and to staff would simply not be acceptable or tolerated by them or any human resource department. It should not be acceptable or tolerated by the voters in Meredith or Gilford either.

Denise Doyle Meredith

I felt wronged by some but have no hard feelings; I’ve moved on To the editor, As the chef manager for the J.Jill distribution center café for the last five years, I have forged many relationships with many good people.

After hearing the news that my company was being dropped, it has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions leading up to my last day. I am happy and lucky to have a new job ahead of me, my employee does also, and I’m optimistic and ready. However, as I am now removed from what was my home for half a decade, I have a few things that I feel I must say.

Corporate America is a hard thing to be stuck between. While serving you all, I had to strive to not only to give all of you a great lunch experience, but also appease the financial expectations of one boss as well as the service expectations of another. In my opinion, the departure of a great HR manager and liaison to my company as well as poor communication between the powers that be are what truly ended it. Not to be overly dramatic (if I haven’t done so already), but more than once I felt like a kid whose parents were getting a divorce.

I believe that after this change, things will be overall better for the associates, and for that I’m glad. My company managed from afar, and their vending and coffee services were not satisfactory to me, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t fix that. That aside, it bothered me that my skills and dedication were not acknowledged by the

J.Jill hierarchy and the opinion of the employees were also left out of the process. A conservative guess would be that two thirds of that building would have liked my employee and me to have stayed, even after going through a company change. Probably, a deal could have been brokered. In my opinion, corporate money wanted a new company, new upgrades and new faces. I was led to believe things which were not so, by a certain always-grinning corporate spokesman. That certainly left some desire of professionalism, of which I was once lectured on by that same individual, but I digress...

What I really wanted to say is goodbye. I believe the people who I feel wronged by know it and I believe in Karma. In the last five years I have gained some real friends. From the sports water cooler talk gang and the Facebook buddies to the friends whom I have been to birthday parties with, fishing trips and weddings.

You have all been a pleasure to know and it’s been an awesome period of my life which I will not forget. There are some great people in that building, and all the Hallmark and gift cards, along with more than one bouquet of flowers for my co-worker were proof that we didn’t fail. It also is flattering that more than a few of you vowed to boycott the new company, thanks, but that’s really not necessary! Be well.

MISHA from page one Isaac (not his real name), who recently moved to Laconia from Dorchester, Mass., said yesterday that he came across Misha first in a Boston jail and later at the Bridgewater Correctional Facility where he was called not Misha but Mischka. “He is a big man, six-two or six-three, with red hair and a goatee,” said Isaac, who last saw him in 2005, three or four years before the man’s relationship with the oldest of the Boston Marathon bomb suspects began.

“He was definitely mentally unbalanced,” Isaac said, who recalled that Misha once flung his feces on the walls of his cell and rubbed them all over his body.. “He claimed to be a ‘Red Atheist,’ a Cabalist, a Coptic Christian and a Muslim, but he was really just a drug dealer and gang banger. But, every time he got in trouble,” he continued, “ he started talk-

ing about God. He just looked for a crutch. He didn’t believe in anything.”

“I wouldn’t take my eyes off him or give my back to him,” Isaac said. “He was violent and dangerous. He got into fights and tried to strangle a mental patient at Bridgewater.”

Isaac did not reject the notion that the man he knew as Mischka could have influenced Tsarnaevs. “It’s possible he put some bad thoughts into the minds of the two brothers,” he ventured. “He’s the type that preys on people in their weakest points in life.”

Isaac said that he last heard of Mischka in 2009, when a Muslim storeowner refused him and others entry to his shop. “He runs with an Armenian gang,” he said, “and carried a gun.”

Acknowledging that “I don’t know enough about him to be of help (to the authorities),” Isaac said

TEENS from page one teen pregnancy rate decline faster than any other state.

The Granite State now has the lowest teen pregnancy rate and the lowest teen birth rate.

Even so, there’s more progress to be made in reducing teen pregnancy, thinks Rachel Deveau, community health and social services specialist at the Family Planning and Prenatal Program on Belmont Road in Laconia, an agency of Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties, Inc. The statewide teen pregnancy rate, measured in 2008, was 33 out of 1,000. The national average is 68 per 1,000 teen girls.

Deveau said it’s a matter that should be a concern to more than just teenage girls and their parents. Teenage mothers are statistically less likely to graduate from high school or eard a GED. Both parents, if they start their families as teenagers, are likely to earn less money than their peers that delayed parenthood until their 20s. Teenage motherhood is associated with higher rates of health problems, incarceration and unemployment. Deveau said families started with teenage parents are also likely to be dependent upon state-funded services, both for initial prenatal and maternity care and for years to come.

“This is our workforce, the young people,” said Deveau, adding that her hope is for young women to “delay pregnancy until they are physically, financially and emotionally able to start a family.”

Belknap County had 127 teens give birth between the years of 2008 and 2010, according to CDC figures. As a per-capita rate, Belknap’s was greater then Strafford, Merrimack, Rockingham, Grafton,

Cheshire and Carroll counties.

Deveau hopes the declining trend of teenaged pregnancies will continue. “Times are kind of changing, we don’t have as many teen pregnancies as we have in the past.” A big part of the change, she said, is more open communication about sex and its possible repercussions. “It’s not as taboo as it maybe was years ago,” said Deveau. When young people are informed of their risks, and strategies such as abstinence or contraception, they make better choices, she continued. “They’re delaying pregnancy until later.”

Despite recent progress, teenage pregnancies continue to occur. The Family Planning and Prenatal Program is promoting the 12th Annual National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, May 1, to highlight the issue.

On that day, and for the rest of the month, teenagers are invited to visit stayteen.org to participate in the National Day Quiz, which is designed to get young people to think about how they’ll act when confronted with a choice that could result in pregnancy.

Throughout the year, the Family Planning and Prenatal Program, a private non-profit organization funded by federal Title X and state funds, provides family planning services to men and women of all ages. Services include reproductive health care, access to contraceptive services, supplies and counseling, pregnancy testing, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, and vaccines.

The Laconia site, located at the Lakes Region Family Center, also offers comprehensive prenatal care. Fees for the services are provided on a sliding scale. Deveau said her agency will serve teenagers with or without parental consent.

that anyone looking for Mischka should start with the Armenian gangs in the Boston area, especially Watertown. “He’s known to stick close to Watertown,” he said.

Meanwhile, Isaac, who grew up in Irish home, said that “I was a bad person and now am turning my life around.” Several years ago he converted to Islam and carries the Koran with him. He resents those like the Tsarnaev brother who kill and maim in the name of Islam. “As soon as they put those backpacks on the sidewalk they ceased to be Muslims,” he said.

“Every time one those extremists does something like that they drag the whole faith through the mud.

They’re twisting a beautiful thing.”

ENONOMY from page one pent-up demand for autos and the ongoing recovery in housing,” Guatieri says. “We are seeing significant housing-related consumer purchases in such areas as furniture.”

GDP is the broadest gauge of the economy’s health.

It measures the total output of goods and services produced in the United States, from haircuts and hamburgers to airplanes and automobiles.

The government will provide two updated estimates of first-quarter growth based on more complete data. Whatever the revised data show, estimated first-quarter growth will likely remain far above the economy’s scant 0.4 percent growth rate in the October-December quarter.

In a healthy economy, with an unemployment rate between 5 percent and 6 percent, GDP growth of 2.5 percent or 3 percent would be considered solid.

But in today’s still-struggling recovery, with unemployment at 7.6 percent, the economy needs faster growth to generate enough jobs to quickly shrink unemployment.

Since the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, growth has remained weaker than usual after a severe downturn. In part, that’s because the recession followed the worst financial crisis since Great Depression. The economy expanded just 2.4 percent in 2010, 1.8 percent in 2011 and 2.2 percent in 2012.

This had been expected to be the year when growth would finally reach a more robust 3 percent to 4 percent pace. But across-the-board government spending cuts, which began taking effect March 1, have made that unlikely. The cuts are forcing agencies to furlough workers, reducing spending on public projects and making businesses nervous about investing and hiring.

from preceding page deal to reverse them, the government spending cuts will continue through the end of the year and beyond.

Consumers’ take-home pay has also fallen because President Barack Obama and Congress allowed a Social Security tax cut to expire. A person earning $50,000 a year has about $1,000 less to spend this year.

A household with two high-paid workers has up to $4,500 less. Consumers’ take-home pay is crucial to the economy because their spending drives roughly 70 percent of growth.

Americans appeared to shake off the tax increase at the start of the year. They spent more in January and February, powered by a stronger job market.

But hiring slowed sharply in March.

And consumers spent less at retail businesses, a sign that many were starting to feel the effects of the Social Security tax increase. Economists expect spending to stay weak in the April-June quarter as consumers adjust to smaller paychecks.

Ben Herzon, an economist at Macroeconomics Advisers, thinks the tax increases could shave roughly 1 percentage point from growth this year.

He expects the government spending cuts to reduce growth by a further 0.6 percentage point.

The drop in government spending cut growth in the January-March quarter by 0.8 percentage point.

Three-fourths of that decline came from defense spending. The past two quarterly declines in defense spending — at a 22.1 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter and 11.5 percent in the first quarter — have been the sharpest such back-to-back drops since the Korean War was winding down in the 1950s.

Many large developing countries are growing much faster than the United States. China’s economy expanded 7.7

percent in the first three months of the year compared with a year earlier — and that was a slowdown from its previous double-digit growth. Indonesia’s economy grew 6.2 percent in 2012, India’s 4.1 percent.

But among developed countries, the United States is still performing relatively well. Most of Europe is stuck in a second year of recession. Germany’s economy grew just 0.7 percent in 2012. France’s didn’t grow at all. Italy’s shrank 2.4 percent.

And in the January-March quarter, Britain grew at an annual rate of just 1.2 percent, less than half the estimated U.S. pace.

Last quarter, U.S. companies were more cautious about spending on computers, machinery and facilities, possibly because of the looming government spending cuts and higher taxes. Business investment grew at an annual rate of just 2.1 percent, down from a 13.2 percent rate in the fourth quarter.

That slowdown could hurt hiring in coming months. If companies buy fewer machines or build fewer stores or factories, they will likely fill fewer jobs.

U.S. income growth adjusted for inflation fell in the January-March quarter after a surge in the final three months of 2012. The fourth-quarter gain had reflected a rush to pay dividends and make bonus payments before higher tax rates took effect Jan. 1. Incomes were also held back last quarter by the higher Social Security tax. After paying taxes, incomes fell at an annual rate of 5.3 percent in the first quarter after surging 6.2 percent in the fourth quarter.

The jump in consumer spending, along with slower income growth, meant that the saving rate fell to 2.6 percent of after-tax income in the first quarter. That was down from 4.7 percent in the October-December quarter.

GRAY from page one Victoria, for years the standard for police cruisers nationwide, is no longer being made by Ford Motor Company.

Mann said the decision was made then to go back to black and white cruisers.

He said the department is expecting three more replacement cruisers in 2014 and all three will be painted black and white.

He said the department has a total of seven cruisers that are painted and lettered and, to the best of his knowledge, the steel gray cruisers will be taken out of police service when the replacements arrive, making all of the Belmont marked cars uniform.

Donations are also being accepted for new uniform pants for police officers that will return officers to their traditional all dark blue attire. Selectmen, working with Police Chief Mark Lewandoski agreed to the uniform change but only if the funds were raised through donations.

Donations can be made to the Town of Belmont, “Ditch the Gray Campaign” at P.O Box 310, Belmont, N.H. 03220.

Country music superstar George Jones dies at 81 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — When it comes to country music, George Jones was The Voice.

Other great singers have come and gone, but this fact remained inviolate until Jones passed away Friday at 81 in a Nashville hospital after a year of ill health.

“Today someone else has become the greatest living singer of traditional country music, but there will never be another George Jones,” said Bobby Braddock, the Country Music Hall of Fame songwriter who provided Jones with 29 songs over the decades. “No one in country music has influenced so many other artists.”

He did it with that voice. Rich and deep, strong enough to crack like a whip, but supple enough to bring tears. It was so powerful, it made Jones the first thoroughly modern country superstar, complete with the substance abuse problems and rich-andfamous celebrity lifestyle that included mansions,

MEMBER FDIC

multiple divorces and — to hear one fellow performer tell it — fistfuls of cocaine.

He was a beloved and at times a notorious figure in Nashville and his problems were just as legendary as his songs. But when you dropped the needle on one of his records, all that stuff went away. And you were left with The Voice.

“He just knows how to pull every drop of emotion out of it of the songs if it’s an emotional song or if it’s a fun song he knows how to make that work,” Alan Jackson said in a 2011 interview. “It’s rare. He was a big fan of Hank Williams Sr. like me. He tried to sing like Hank in the early days. I’ve heard early cuts.

And the difference is Hank was a singer and he was a great writer, but he didn’t have that natural voice like George. Not many people do. That just sets him apart from everybody.”

That voice helped Jones achieve No. 1 songs in four separate decades, 1950s to 1980s. And its qualities were admired by more than just his fellow country artists but by Frank Sinatra, Pete Townshend, Elvis Costello, James Taylor and countless others. “If we all could sound like we wanted to, we’d all sound like George Jones,” Waylon Jennings once sang.

Word of his death spread Friday morning as his peers paid tribute.

Merle Haggard put it best, perhaps: “The world has lost the greatest country singer of all time.

Amen.”

“The greatest voice to ever grace country music will never die,” Garth Brooks said. “Jones has a place in every heart that ever loved any kind of music.”

And Dolly Parton added, “My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.”

In Jones’ case, that’s not hyperbole. In a career that lasted more than 50 years, “Possum” evolved from young honky-tonker to elder statesman as he recorded more than 150 albums and became the champion and symbol of traditional country music, a well-lined link to his hero, Williams.

Jones survived long battles with alcoholism and drug addiction, brawls, accidents and close encounters with death, including bypass surgery and a tour bus crash that he only avoided by deciding at the last moment to take a plane.

His failure to appear for concerts left him with the nickname “No Show Jones,” and he later recorded a song by that name and often opened his shows by singing it. His wild life was revealed in song and in his handsome, troubled face, with its dark, deep-set eyes and dimpled chin.

In song, like life, he was rowdy and regretful, tender and tragic. His hits included the sentimental “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes,” the foot-tapping “The Race is On,” the foot-stomping “I Don’t Need Your Rockin’ Chair,” the melancholy “She Thinks I Still Care,” the rockin’ “White Lightning,” and the barfly lament “Still Doing Time.” Jones also recorded several duets with Tammy Wynette, his wife for six years, including “Golden Ring,” ‘’Near You,” ‘’Southern California” and “We’re Gonna Hold On.” He also sang with such peers as Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard and with Costello and other rock performers.

TSARNAEV from page one the investigation told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Friday that the FBI was gathering evidence regarding “everything imaginable.”

FBI agents picked through a landfill near the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where Tsarnaev was a sophomore. FBI spokesman Jim Martin would not say what investigators were looking for.

An aerial photo in Friday’s Boston Globe showed a line of more than 20 investigators, all dressed in white overalls and yellow boots, picking over the garbage with shovels or rakes.

Tsarnaev is charged with joining with his older brother, now dead, in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. Investigators have said it appears that the brothers were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

State finds Belknap County communities need to spend $51.8 million on sewer & stormwater infrastructure

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — Although sewer lines, storm drains and treatment plants are largely out of sight, they are not out of mind. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) estimates that an investment of $1.71-billion is required to repair, replace and expand the pipes that carry sewage and stormwater, along with wastewater treatment plants, in cities and towns across the state.

Paul Heirtzler, administrator of wastewater engineering at DES, said that the agency conducts a Clean Watershed Needs Survey every four years years. In 2012 , DES found that since 2004 the necessary investment had doubled, in part because municipalities turned to austere budgeting as the state transferred expenses and withheld revenues amid the recession.

In current dollars, the $1.71-billion represents about the same amount initially invested to comply with the Clean Water Act when it was enacted in 1972.

DES estimates the total investment needed by the eleven municipalities of Belknap County at $51.8 million. Together Laconia with $13,336,435 and Meredith with $20,360,258 account for 65-percent of the total, with new sewers representing most of the projected expense.

The amounts for the remaining towns are $1,612,201 for Alton, $1,083,195 for Barnstead, $2,258,354 for Belmont, $1,813210 for Center Harbor, $5,216,386 for Gilford, $1,453,967 for Gilmanton,$928,580 for New Hampton, $819,423 for Sanbornton and $2,929,004 for Tilton.

In addition, Laconia and six towns in the county (Center Harbor, Belmont, Gilford, Meredith, Sanbornton and Tilton) belong to the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program, the state-owned sewer system serving the Lakes Region, where investments of $54.6-million are projected. Begun in the 1970s, the program cost $75-million to complete, with the federal government contributing 75-percent, the state government 20-percent and the ten municipalities the remainder. Now the operating costs and debt service are born solely by the member municipalities based on their respective share of the flow.

Heirtzler said that in the wake of the Clean Water Act, federal funding for wastewater and stormwater treatment was plentiful, but it has since dried up. Likewise, in 2008, the state withheld grants that fund 20-percent of construction costs. Although there is money in the 2013-2014 budget adopted by the House of Representatives to fund 127 projects built since 2008, there is no provision to sustain funding beyond 2015.

MVSB Fund contributes to LPD’s ‘Cop Card’ program

MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) announced that the charitable fund carrying its name has awarded a $1,000 grant to the Laconia Police Department. These funds will be put toward the Police Department’s “Cop Card” program.

The Laconia Police Department’s “Cop Card” program was put in place in 1997. The cards, similar in style to a baseball trading card, contain a picture and biography of each Laconia Police Officer. Children throughout the community are encouraged to seek out their local police officers, introduce themselves and ask for their “Cop Card.” The program promotes a sense of community through positive interactions with local law enforcement.

“During challenging economic times, operating budgets can not provide for community outreach initiatives, such as the ‘Cop Card’ program,” said Laconia Police Department Captain Matthew Canfield. “We are fortunate to have local partners, like Meredith Village Savings Bank, that recognize the importance of these programs and step forward to provide support so that they can continue. The ‘Cop Card’ program is a valuable part our commu-

Red Sox pound out 17 hits to beat Astros, 7-3 BOSTON (AP) — David Ross cleared the Green Monster twice with solo home runs and Ryan Dempster struck out a career-high 10 for the Boston Red Sox in a 7-3 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night.

David Ortiz homered for the second straight night at Fenway Park. The Red Sox are having one of the best Aprils in club history. Boston (16-7) is two wins short of tying the club record for the month with three games remaining.

Erik Bedard (0-2) allowed five runs on eight hits over three innings for Houston. The Astros lost for the fifth time in seven games and fell to 0-5 at Fenway.

Boston finished with 17 hits and nine were for extra bases, including back-to-back homers by Will Middlebrooks and Ross to open the fourth and put the Red Sox up 5-1. Ortiz added a solo shot in the fifth and four

Boston relievers combined to finish out the first win of the season for Dempster (1-2).

Dempster’s previous high for strikeouts was nine, a mark he reached nine different times before finally reaching double figures Friday on a chilly night in Boston. He allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings.

Jose Altuve drove in two runs for the Astros, who finished with just seven hits.

Red Sox had at least two hits in every inning except the fifth, when the Astros held Boston to just one. It happened to be Ortiz’s shot to straightaway center that put the Red Sox up 6-2. Ross, Boston’s backup catcher, ended an 0-for-12 slump by going 4-for-4 with homers in the second and fourth innings.

Boston’s Mike Napoli hit a pair of doubles, bringing his season total to 13.

Patriots draft outside linebacker from Southern Miss FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Jamie Collins made his mark with one of the worst college teams in the country. Now he’s headed for one of the best in the NFL after being drafted by the New England Patriots.

The outside linebacker was chosen in the second round on Friday night by the Patriots, who were just one win away from reaching the Super Bowl last season. Southern Mississippi was 0-12 in Collins’ senior season when he had 10 sacks.

“It’s motivation and it’s adversity,” Collins said in a conference call after

being drafted with the first of the Patriots two picks in the round. “I felt like I had to play hard every game just because we were losing.

“I felt like that was going to draw a lot of attention to me to see how I played, despite the fact that we went 0-12.”

The Patriots took Collins with the 52nd overall pick that they obtained in a trade in which they sent their firstround pick to Minnesota. Then they chose wide receiver Aaron Dobson of Marshall with their own pick in the round, the 59th.

Laconia High sophomores participate in Rotary Leadership Program LACONIA — Eight Laconia High School sophomores — Mitchell Bailey, Brent Clarke, Lily Chanthasak, Erin Cashman, Sean Cashman, Anne Dionne, Alana Persson and Michaela Sorrell — participated in the 2013 Lakes Region Rotary Youth Leadership Program. This event is held annually and offers local sophomores from several Lakes Region high schools an opportunity to learn about and experience leadership and service. The

program included a dinner and team building games, presentations by local speakers and a day of service at The Prescott Farm Educational Center in Laconia.

Joining sophomores from around the Lakes Region, the LHS students worked together with new friends on the Prescott Farm trails and learned how to make positive change happen in their community.

Home cookin’ not enough to keep Celtics in series with Knicks, now down 3-0

BOSTON (AP) — Carmelo Anthony scored 26 points and the New York Knicks moved to the brink of their first playoff series victory in 13 years, routing the Boston Celtics 90-76 on Friday night in Game 3 of the first-round series.

Quickly taking the crowd out of it in the first NBA game here since the Boston Marathon bombings, the Knicks built a 16-point halftime lead and now are on the verge of taking out the Celtics.

Raymond Felton added 15 points and 10 assists for the Knicks, who haven’t advanced in the playoffs since reaching the 2000 Eastern Conference finals. They will go for the sweep here Sunday afternoon.

They’ll have to hope they have J.R. Smith, who inexplicably threw an elbow right into Jason Terry’s face with 7:06 left and was thrown out of the game with a flagrant foul 2, an automatic ejection. The league office will review the play and can fine or suspend Smith.

Jeff Green scored 21 points for the Celtics, who will try to become the first NBA team to win a series after trailing 3-0.

Fans cheered the responders who helped after the marathon but booed the Celtics, who managed only 31 points in the first two quarters, get-

ting their bad half out of the way early this time. They had been held to 25 and 23 points after halftime while dropping the two games in New York.

Smith finished with 15 points for the Knicks, who are loaded with veterans who’ve had playoff success the franchise hadn’t in recent years and weren’t fazed by the pregame atmosphere. Once the game started, they simply outplayed the Celtics, as they have while going 6-1 against them dating to the regular season.

Everything went perfectly for the Knicks until Smith, while holding the ball on offense with a huge lead, decided to throw his elbow right into Terry’s face. Terry charged after him but was stopped by Boston coach Doc Rivers, while Knicks coach Mike Woodson appeared to be lecturing Smith before the Sixth Man of the Year was sent off.

There was a moment of silence before the game for the victims, and that was the last time it was quiet for a while. First responders and other personnel were greeted with loud cheers as they were brought onto the floor during timeouts, and a tribute to the city played on the overhead video board during a first-quarter stoppage.

Drugs found on Justin Beiber’s tour bus STOCKHOLM (AP) — The list of troubles linked to Justin Bieber’s tour of Europe grew again after Swedish police said Thursday they had found drugs and a stun gun on the pop singer’s bus.

No arrests were made since the bus was empty at the time, Stockholm police spokesman Lars Bystrom told The Associated Press.

Police said they decided to act after smelling marijuana coming from inside the bus while it was parked outside the

hotel where Bieber was staying in the capital. Drug officers searched the bus during the concert while Bieber was on stage, Bystrom said.

He said a small amount of drugs and a stun gun were discovered during a search of the bus, which had been parked under the Globen concert venue in Stockholm, where Bieber was performing Wednesday. Bystrom declined to identify the drug, saying that it was sent to a lab for analysis.

Have you tried our Crab Rangoon?

The sky isn’t falling There were 71 residential home sales in March in the 12 communities covered by this Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report. The average price came in at $227,182 with a median price point of $166,000. This compares to 64 sales last March at an average price of $314,161 with a median price point of $199,200.

For the first quarter of 2013 there were 172 residential transactions in these same towns compared to 171 in the first quarter of 2012. That’s pretty consistent, if nothing else! The average sales price for the first quarter of 2013 was $226,492 compared to $272,526 in 2012. The median price point also dropped from $176,200 in 2012 to $169,000 in 2013. Sales are steady, but once again prices are down.

You could say this is all doom and gloom! Should

you bend over and kiss your real estate patootie goodbye?!

I really don’t think so! Market data is all about numbers and what is selling. Sometimes numbers by themselves can be misleading. It just so happens that a lot more inexpensive homes are selling right now compared to higher end homes. That’s just the way it is. There are a lot of bank owned and lower priced homes on the market that are being scooped up. It has been that way for the past few years.

So before you think that the real estate sky is falling and your home value is continuing to slide down the cliff that is not necessarily the case. It is pretty easy to see why our numbers are down so far this year. In the first quarter of both 2012 and see next page

MEREDITH — Trinity Episcopal Church, Route 25, Meredith, will hold a book, bake and yard sale on Saturday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in conjunction with the Meredith Community Yard Sale.

Trinity Church will be an official site and tables are available to the public for $25 each, so that those off the beaten track might benefit from our vis-

ibility and convenient Rt. 25 location, to sell their “treasures”. The tables will be available at 8 a.m. for those wishing to come early to set up or catch a few “early birds”.

To reserve a table or for more information call Gertie McGlinchey at 279-9926 or go to gemcg65@ gmail.com.

from preceding page 2013 we had about the same number of sales below $200,000. But, in 2012 there were 24 homes that sold over the $500,000 mark for a total sales volume of $21.5 million. There were seven sales over the $1 million mark. This year there were half the number of sales over $500,000 for a total of only $10.9 million in sales and there were just two sales over a million! This definitely has had an impact on the average and median prices so far this year!

There’s no doubt that your home’s value has been affected over the past few years, but quality homes have retained their value better than those that are poorly maintained, ill kept, and poorly presented in the market place. It also seems that there is a definite shortage of really nice, mid-price homes on the market right now. If you are contemplating selling your home, think about what it has to offer in this market compared to some of the other homes that are available.

Talk with several real estate agents to get their opinion of your home, where they feel the market is, and see how they can position you to get the maximum return on your investment. With fewer really nice properties on the market there is less competition which makes this a good time to sell.

The fact is, it seems like the mood in the housing market is a much more positive than it has been

for a long time. The news from all over the country touts that the housing markets are on the mend and prices are beginning to rise! According to a recent AP article, new home construction is picking up with a 46 percent increase in new home starts nationwide in March compared to March of 2012. But remember that real estate is very local and we were one of the last markets to feel the pinch when things went bad.

The AP article stated that “Housing construction fell 5.8 percent in the Northeast but showed gains in the rest of the country led by a 10.9 percent rise in the South. Housing construction was up 9.6 percent in the Midwest and 2.7 percent in the West.”

So, we may a little behind in terms of a new construction rebound but we have been blessed with a very strong second home, vacation, and waterfront home market so I don’t believe we will be far behind in a market upturn. I’m banking on that along with some nice new properties coming on the market at realistic prices to lead the way...

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Since my husband discovered that his parents are first cousins, he’s been having an emotional crisis that I can’t help him with. I was the one who uncovered the secret when I was doing research for a genealogy study to be presented as a gift for my father-in-law’s 70th birthday.

I have given my in-laws many opportunities to absolve themselves of their deception, but I must have been far too subtle to make myself clear about the situation. I don’t expect an answer from you or your staff members, because I’ve tried to contact numerous others concerning this subject, and it appears to be taboo for even the most open-minded of venues.

-- Need Help in California Dear Need Help: Really? We cannot imagine why. Your inlaws may have done nothing that requires “absolving.” Marriage between first cousins is legal in 20 states and is permitted in six others depending on the circumstances. In Biblical times, marriage between first cousins was commonplace.

Instead of sweeping this under the rug and watching your husband freak out, please talk to your in-laws directly. Say you found this information while researching the family tree.

Let them discuss it frankly so their son can learn to accept what’s already happened and put it behind him. There’s no reason for this to become a major crisis. If you are planning to have children (or already do), you might consider genetic counseling now that you have a more complete family history.

Dear Annie: My adult son has a large, dark, textured birthmark on his right cheek. We believe it has caused him to lose out on job opportunities. He has been trying without success to get a job for four years. He is a hard worker, punctual and trustworthy. He has pounded the pavement looking for work and gone online and applied for more than 200 jobs.

A friend of my son’s said privately that he would hire him but looking at “that thing” on his face makes him sick. My question to you is: Are there plastic surgeons out there who would help my son by removing this birthmark at a very low cost? He has no income, and we are not in a position right now to help him financially. -- Grateful Mom Dear Grateful: Your son may qualify for Medicaid, in which case a plastic surgeon may be able to remove the skin growth at no cost if it is potentially malignant. Check at medicaid.gov to see whether your son is covered in his state. He also should check his local hospitals and medical schools. Some surgeons and hospitals have been known to generously donate their skills and facilities for low-income patients.

In the meantime, we suggest he visit his local pharmacy or department store and ask about cosmetics that will cover the birthmark. Or he could try two products we have recommended in the past: Dermablend (dermablend.com) and Covermark (covermark.com).

Dear Annie: The letter from “Tired Daughter” really hit home. My mother was an alcoholic and also blamed my father for her sad life. He finally left, and we kids took the brunt of her sorry existence. Finally, as an adult, I gently cut ties with her. When she developed dementia (partially due to her alcoholism), she ended up in a care facility. My brother and I shared the job of handling her affairs.

So many times, people said, “But she’s your mother,” as if I had to love her because we were related. We are not forced to love an abuser, no matter who they are. “Tired Daughter” should get on with her life and her family and lose the guilt, with the help of a professional if needed. -- Been There in Montreal

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

esting relationship. When you don’t expect to be paid for a job, you’ll approach it differently, get more joy from the experience and ultimately offer greater value.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re up to your old tricks now: giving anonymously, setting up people you like for a win, helping behind the scenes... Sometimes you like to be noticed, but not today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You might secretly think that someone’s efforts to impress you are “lame,” but you cannot help but be impressed by the fact that they took the time and energy to do so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). After much consideration, you’ll finally make a trade. If it feels a bit inequitable now, just know that had you waited any longer, it would only become more so. You’ve done well, and your energies are best spent moving on.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 27). You work hard, but you have an irresistible lightness in your approach to play. Your freewheeling style will attract a fun crowd. Your living space will improve. Take on projects now, and they’ll be completed by August.

June features a vote or a judgment in your favor. You will help and be helped by family in September. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 37, 29 and 15.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Big opportunities hang in the balance today. All you have to do is show up -- over and over and over. The rest of it will be worked out in the moment. You’ll hit the pillow tonight, pleased with the way your day unfolded.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You force yourself to interact even when you don’t want to. Will you remember this five years from now? Possibly. But if you don’t, you’ll still be a different person because you made the effort today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your cosmic gift of the day: mental expansion. The two best ways in which you grow yourself today are reading and conversation. Stretch yourself, too, because the best things happen just outside of your usual interests.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Pondering the small reasons why something has occurred will be counterproductive. Instead, think about the big “why.” You’re here to love and be loved. Making that happen will be of paramount importance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are not in the mood to play games. So hopefully you have some straight shooters around you who prefer the simplicity of honesty and who make a habit of doing the right thing VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t want the pressure that comes with running the whole scene, and yet you can see clear ways in which things could be done better. If you try to direct people, you’ll be handed the entire responsibility. Go carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your efforts will be counted, but not by the measure that others are using today. So do what you do without the expectation of getting a gold star.

Your prize will come later and will mean much more to you when it does.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If each person is a world, your world is as different from your friend’s as Earth is from Jupiter.

You’ll appreciate that you can stand on your world; whereas standing on Jupiter is an impossibility.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your service to another will be the start of an inter-

Yesterday’s Answer

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 27, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, April 27, the 117th day of 2013. There are 248 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 27, 1813, the Battle of York took place in Upper Canada during the War of 1812 as a U.S. force defeated the British garrison in present-day Toronto before withdrawing.

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 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 1938, King Zog I of the Albanians married Countess Geraldine Apponyi de Nagy-Apponyi.

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 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 2011, powerful tornadoes raked the South and Midwest; according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, more than 120 twisters resulted in 316 deaths.

Ten years ago: The U.S. military arrested the self-anointed mayor of Baghdad, Mohammed Mohsen al-Zubaidi (moh-SEHN’ ahl-zooBY’-dee), accusing him of exerting authority he didn’t have. (He was released on May 11, 2003.)

Nicanor Duarte won Paraguay’s presidential election. Kevin Millwood pitched a no-hitter to lead the Philadelphia Phillies over the San Francisco Giants 1-0.

Five years ago: Afghan President Hamid Karzai escaped an attempt on his life during a ceremony in Kabul marking Afghanistan’s victory over Soviet occupation in the 1980s; three other people were killed in the shooting. Ashley Force, 25, became the first woman to win a national Funny Car race as she beat her father, drag racing icon John Force, in the final round of the 28th annual Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals in Commerce, Ga. One year ago: President Barack Obama signed an order aimed at addressing growing complaints about fraudulent marketing and recruiting practices aimed at military families eligible for federal education aid under the GI Bill. The space shuttle Enterprise, mounted atop a jumbo jet, sailed over the New York City skyline on its final flight before becoming a museum piece aboard the USS Intrepid.

Lakes Region Cupcakes bakes over 1,000 cupcakes to benefit Concord Hospital Family Services Center

TILTON — Lakes Region Cupcakes baked over 1000 delicious cupcakes for Concord Hospital employees to enjoy, with a portion of the proceeds going towards Concord Hospital’s Family Services Center. This event in the past has involved other cupcake bakers throughout NH baking an assortment of delicious flavors, but this is the first time this volume of cupcakes has been made.

“After hearing the other bakers had made an average of 600 cupcakes for the event and sold out in a few hours, we had to do better than that,” said owner Stephanie McKim. With the sale going on in a conference room at the hospital from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. there was plenty of time to distribute a larger volume of cupcakes with the different shifts of employees coming and going through out the day.

With only a few cupcakes left by the end of the day Lakes Region Cupcakes was able to raise over $700 for the hospital’s Family Services center. “We try to work really hard at giving back to the community because it’s our community that supports us as a small business.” said McKim. Lakes Region Cupcake’s employees worked for two days prepping, baking, frosting and decorating a variety of eight different flavors for the event to ensure all hospital employees had an opportunity to purchase cupcakes. “We were running out of room in our shop to put all the

cupcakes, the shop was overflowing. The tricky part was getting all the cupcakes to the hospital since we had never done an event this big, so a lot of planning and prepping had to go into this event, from ordering the right amount of supplies, preparing the right

amount of frostings, to putting together enough boxes to fill everyone’s order at the hospital. It was definitely a lot of work but we are very thankful Concord Hospital chose us to take part in raising money for their center.” said owner Shelli Shumway.
