Belmont Advance bookings have hospitality professionals optimistic Sewer rates Many local establishments report 20% increase in reservations compared to this time last year to increase By rOGer amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT - Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said yesterday the Selectmen will be considering a sewer rate hike and plan to schedule a public hearing sometime in June. Beaudin said if approved by Selectmen the recommended rate hike will be $15 per quarter bringing the annual rate from $144 to $204 per year per residential hookup. “Belmont has one of the lowest sewer rates in the state,” Beaudin told Selectmen a recent meeting. She noted see SEWER page 15

MEREDITH — A strong showing in advance reservations has Lakes Region resorts and attractions optimistic that the summer of 2011 will be the best they’ve seen in years. Reservations at the Inns and Spa at Mill Falls are up nearly 20 percent over last year according to Michelle Brown, marketing director for the four inns on Meredith Bay, which have a combined total of 159 rooms. “We are thrilled that both leisure and business travel reservations are coming in early and at such a high rate, and we are optimistic that it is indicative of a strong summer for tourism in the Lakes Region,” she says. Brown says that corporate meetings and social events at the inns are showing an increase of nearly 25 percent, which points to a rebounding state and regional economy. She’s not the only one enthused about the coming summer season. Michelle DuPont, owner and innkeeper of the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa in Lakeport, says that reservations for the summer season are up significantly over last year

with many weekends in which major events are being held already sold out. “They’re definitely better. We’re really excited about the summer season. More people are booking ahead instead of waiting until the last minute,’’ says DuPont. She said that at the Spa and Conference Center bookings up by 20 percent. It’s the same story at the Naswa Resort on Weirs Boulevard where Jim Lowell, director of operations, says that reservations are up by 20 percent over where they were last year at this time. “We’re doing great. We’re way ahead of last year,’’ says Lowell. He says that high gas prices may actually be helping bring visitors from nearby to the area. “Our main market is the Boston area and southern New Hampshire. People are looking at vacationing closer to home, a tank of gas away, and that accounts for a lot of our early bookings,’’ says Lowell. That sentiment is echoed by Fred Clausen of Proctor’s Lakeside Cottages on Weirs Boulevard, where bookings are already up by 20 percent over last year. “With the price of gas so high, people see RESERVATIONS page 11

LACONIA — Recalling standing up to his chest in raw sewage while overseeing the repair of failed sewer main at Busy Corner, Bob Cunningham, the sewer drain foreman at the Department of Public Works (DPW), said “those are the kind of jobs I like. I absolutely love it.” This week Cunningham announced that he will retire at the end of May, ending a career of 28 years with the department. “I love my job. I love working in the sewers,” he said. “I’ll certainly miss it.” You can’t replace a guy like Bob,” said Paul Moynihan, director of public works. “He recognized his calling, took it to heart and never stopped.” Cunningham said that there are 96 miles of sanitary sewer mains, about an equal amount of storm water lines and 18 pump stations in the city. He estimated that he was familiar with 99.9-percent of the subterranean infrastructure as well as all the pump stations. Where drawings of the sewer system are missing, obscure or incomplete, Cunningham, armed with his camera, suppresses his fear of spiders see CUNNINGHAM page 14

Marines get trained on accepting gay recruits

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) — Marine instructor Maj. Daryl Desimone stood before an auditorium filled with fatigue-clad troops, carrying an unequivocal message: It’s OK to disagree with letting gays serve openly in the military. It’s not OK to disobey orders. He explained that the impending repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” is an order, one heard by generals and rank-andfile alike as the military tries to change the culture of a traditionally conservative institution. Only a few of the roughly 150 Marines stepped up to ask questions. One stood up from a back row and demanded to know why his religious beliefs were being “put aside” in favor of gays, forcing him to “basically grit my teeth and bear it.” “It’s not really open to discussion,” Desimone said. “Nobody’s trying to change your mind.” Sexual orientation will now be a private matter, just like religion or politics, he said.

Tornadoes devastate South, killing at least 291 PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. (AP) — Firefighters searched one splintered pile after another for survivors Thursday, combing the remains of houses and neighborhoods pulverized by the nation’s deadliest tornado outbreak in almost four decades. At least 291 people were killed across six states — more than two-thirds of them in Alabama, where large cities bore the halfmile-wide scars the twisters left behind. The death toll from Wednesday’s storms seems out of a bygone era, before Doppler radar and pinpoint satellite forecasts were around to warn communities of severe weather. Residents were told the tornadoes were coming up to 24 minutes ahead of time, but they were just too wide, too powerful and too locked onto populated areas to avoid a horrifying body count.

“These were the most intense super-cell thunderstorms that I think anybody who was out there forecasting has ever seen,” said meteorologist Greg Carbin at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. “If you experienced a direct hit from one of these, you’d have to be in a reinforced room, storm shelter or underground” to survive, Carbin said. The storms seemed to hug the interstate highways as they barreled along like runaway trucks, obliterating neighborhoods or even entire towns from Tuscaloosa to Bristol, Va. One family rode out the disaster in the basement of a funeral home, another by huddling in a tanning bed. In Concord, a small town outside Birmingham that was ravaged by a tornado,

Randy Guyton’s family got a phone call from a friend warning them to take cover. They rushed to the basement garage, piled into a Honda Ridgeline and listened to the roar as the twister devoured the house in seconds. Afterward, they could see outside through the shards of their home and scrambled out. “The whole house caved in on top of that car,” he said. “Other than my boy screaming to the Lord to save us, being in that car is what saved us.” Son Justin remembers the dingy white cloud moving quickly toward the house. “To me it sounded like destruction,” the 22-year-old said. “It was a mean, mean roar. It was awful.” At least three people died in a Pleassee STORMS page 5

LONDON (AP) — Each step has been rehearsed, each flower meticulously arranged, the aisle of Westminster Abbey transformed into a flowering avenue of trees. With just hours to go before his wedding to Kate Middleton, dedicated royal watchers camped outside got an unexpected surprise — a visit from Prince William. The 28-year-old groom-to-be emerged from his residence Thursday night to greet the hordes of well-wishers gathered along the processional route. Dressed in khakis and grinning broadly, William shook countless hands as his photo was snapped on cell phones and digital cameras. The visit lent further excitement to the carnival atmosphere near the abbey, where hours earlier 29-year-old Kate had

a final run-through with William’s best man, Prince Harry. A throng of curious tourists, dedicated monarchists, souvenir vendors, Williamwatchers and Harry-hunters have turned the Union Jack-bedecked streets into a scene of festive chaos. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Not many kings-to-be are going to be married anytime soon,” said 26-year-old Sarah White, camped out with her sister, Liz. “Everyone’s making friends and is in good spirits — or at least will be until tomorrow.” The only clouds on the horizon: the threat of rain and the intrusion of politics, with the British government revoking an invitation to Syria’s ambassador to condemn a deadly crackdown on protesters that has left hundreds dead.

Friday’s ceremony has been planned like a military operation. More than 1,500 soldiers, sailors and air crew will be on duty to line the couple’s procession route between the abbey and Buckingham Palace, just under a mile (1.6 kilometers) away. An additional 5,000 uniformed and undercover police will be on alert for threats from Irish dissident terrorists, Muslim extremists, anti-monarchists, royal obsessives and drunken hooligans. The royal nuptials will offer pomp and circumstance on a grand scale, starting with a global guest list of 1,900 that includes kings and queens, sports stars, music royalty, the couple’s university chums, Royal Air Force pilots and charity workers, as well as friends and family.

Supporters of Cannon Mt. testify against privatization CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Skiers and other supporters of the state-run Cannon Mountain Ski Area told New Hampshire legislators on Thursday to reject efforts to privatize it, saying it’s turning a profit and offers affordable rates for families. Similar proposals to lease or manage Cannon have failed in the past. However, Chuck Morse, Senate Finance Committee chairman, said with the challenges faced in balancing the budget, it’s critical that legislators find creative solutions. He said those include asking questions such as whether the state should be in the business of running a ski resort. “Cannon Mountain is not only healthy, we are thriving,” ski area manager John DeVivo testified at a committee hearing. He said Cannon has wiped out its nearly $1.5 million operating deficit and will finish with nearly $1 million in profit for fiscal year 2011. DeVivo said readers of SKI Magazine have rated Cannon the No. 1 value in the East. He said in addition to the winter season, the ski area has been working on more year-round activities such as concerts. He said wedding business is picking up at the site. The committee has proposed substituting the privatization effort for a House bill sponsored by state Rep. Kathy Taylor, D-Franconia, which would have made it easier for home-schooled children to prove their residency for reduced rates. The bill was passed by the House and by another Senate committee.

“I was told that my original bill was no longer needed as this amendment about to be proposed would privatize Cannon,” Taylor testified. “I have spent my entire legislative career fighting the privatization of Cannon Mountain and I find it quite ironic that my bill is being used as the vehicle for something I so vehemently oppose.” Cannon Mountain also is home to a war veterans memorial. The mountain is part of Franconia Notch State Park. Opponents of the proposal to turn over management of the ski area to a private company said it doesn’t make sense to separate it from the rest of the park system and questioned whether it honored the monument. Morse said the proposal was drafted with the intent that any profit would go back into the parks system. He also said the proposal creates the system for the transfer, not the lease, which would take another year to put together. “This isn’t a done thing,” he said. Gov. John Lynch has opposed leasing the ski area. No one testified in favor of the proposal. The ski area’s first trails were developed in the 1930s. Several years ago, the state and federal officials signed an agreement for land exchange that allowed the state to take ownership of the nearby Mittersill Ski Area and make it part of the Cannon operation. That began a $4 million expansion.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The chairman of the Senate Finance Committee wants to send up to 600 inmates from the prison in Concord to private or other facilities not run by New Hampshire. Sen. Chuck Morse’s proposal was attached Thursday to a House bill on consolidating agencies. The amendment also prohibits the state from closing the state’s prison in Berlin.

Morse, a Salem Republican, first proposed the idea in a meeting with Corrections Commissioner William Wrenn earlier this month. The amendment directs Wrenn to enter into contracts to reduce the inmate population in Concord to save $10.5 million over the next two years. Corrections spokesman Jeff Lyons said Wrenn had just gotten the amendment and would have no comment until he reviewed it.

MARINES from page 2 Tulsa, Okla., stood up to ask what would happen if a Marine refused gay roommates. Marines won’t have separate barracks or showers based on sexual orientation, Desimone said. He added that signing up for the Marines comes with an expectation of less privacy. That said, officers may decide to separate roommates to preserve peace, just like they do now when roommates argue. Marines will not be allowed an early discharge for opposing the policy but exceptions will be considered, Desimone said. “You can’t just walk up and say, ‘I don’t like this. I’m outa here,’” he said. Classes like Thursday’s for the Combat Logistics Regiment 17 of the 1st Marine Logistics Group are

being held at military bases around the world. The Marines expect to finish training by June 1, with all military branches done by summer’s end. The repeal of the 17-year “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy would go into effect 60 days after the president, defense secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify that lifting the ban won’t hurt the military’s ability to fight. Gen. James Amos, the Marine Corps commandant, testified last year that permitting gays to openly serve could disrupt smaller combat units and distract leaders from preparing for battle. When he appeared this month before the House Armed Services Committee, he said he had been looking for problems that might arise under the new policy and hadn’t found any “recalcitrant pushback.”

Proposal would send 600 NH inmates elsewhere

Van-Mount Carpet Cleaning Window Cleaning Janitorial Services Winnipesaukee Island Services

Two men summoned police to Cranmore the night before her body was found By Erik EisElE CONWAY — The two men who reported finding one of Krista Dittmeyer’s flip-flops in the woods around Cranmore called police and requested an officer to meet them at the base of the mountain, even though it led to one of them getting arrested. Police have not commented whether the report helped them locate Dittmeyer’s body, but nine hours later she was found in a pond north of the ski lodge. One of the men, 28-year-old Ricky Acker, has a long history of run-ins with police, from burglary to domestic violence. His brother, Kyle Acker, is the father of Dittmeyer’s 14-month-old daughter. The other man, Corey Poland, 25, of Portland, has no local criminal history beyond his arrest for willful

concealment early Wednesday morning. Willful concealment is the charge assigned for shoplifting. Poland placed a call to Conway police just before midnight on Tuesday, from Acker’s cell phone. He told police he and Acker had been searching around Cranmore for Dittmeyer when they found a Guess flip-flop her roommate said Dittmeyer had been wearing the day she disappeared. An officer met them at the fitness center, where Poland was placed under arrest for the outstanding warrant. He was released on $1,000 personal recognisance bail, with one of his bail conditions being that he stays away from the L.L. Bean store. “We are cooperating with police,” Ricky Acker said on Thursday. “We absolutely called them.” He directed

all other questions to the Conway Police Department, which did not respond to calls for comment. According to the police log the two men told police they were friends of Dittmeyer’s, and they came to look for her. They said they were looking for a fort someone built in the woods when they found the flipflop. They left the flip-flop where they found it. Acker’s history of arrests dating back to 1999. He served time in New Hampshire prison after pleading guilty to three counts of burglary in 2001, and has been arrested a number of times since for charges including receiving stolen property, simple assault, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing and domestic violence charges. A version of this story that appeared Thursday did not include that it was the two men themselves who alerted police to their presence at Cranmore Tuesday night.

STORMS from page 2 ant Grove subdivision southwest of Birmingham, where residents trickled back Thursday to survey the damage. Greg Harrison’s neighborhood was somehow unscathed, but he remains haunted by the wind, thunder and lightning as they built to a crescendo, then suddenly stopped. “Sick is what I feel,” he said. “This is what you see in Oklahoma and Kansas. Not here. Not in the South.” Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said his state had confirmed 204 deaths. There were 33 deaths in Mississippi, 33 in Tennessee, 15 in Georgia, five in Virginia and one in Kentucky. Hundreds if not thousands of people were injured — nearly 800 in Tuscaloosa alone.

Some of the worst damage was about 50 miles southwest of Pleasant Grove in Tuscaloosa, a city of more than 83,000 that is home to the University of Alabama. The storms destroyed the city’s emergency management center, so the school’s Bryant-Denny Stadium was turned into a makeshift one. School officials said two students were killed, though they did not say how they died. Finals were canceled and commencement was postponed. Tuscaloosa Mayor Walter Maddox told reporters that police and the National Guard will impose a curfew at 10 p.m. Thursday, and 8 p.m. the next night. Authorities have been searching for survivors so far, but Maddox said they will begin using cadaver dogs on Friday. A tower-mounted news camera in Tuscaloosa cap-

tured images of an astonishingly thick, powerful tornado flinging debris as it leveled neighborhoods. That twister and others Wednesday were several times more severe than a typical tornado, which is hundreds of yards wide, has winds around 100 mph and stays on the ground for a few miles, said research meteorologist Harold Brooks at the Storm Prediction Center. “There’s a pretty good chance some of these were a mile wide, on the ground for tens of miles and had wind speeds over 200 mph,” he said. The loss of life is the greatest from an outbreak of U.S. tornadoes since April 1974, when the weather service said 315 people were killed by a storm that swept across 13 Southern and Midwestern states.

Wall Street quickly tames tea party freshmen They came, they saw, they conquered. This line pretty well sums up a little-reported but important story about the new tea partiers in the U.S. House of Representatives. No sooner had they arrived than the corporate lobbying corps came to visit, saw what these supposed rebels were made of and quickly conquered them without a fight. The forces of big business needed only to lay out some campaign cash — and quicker than you can say, “Business as usual,” the budding lawmakers snatched up the money and immediately began carrying the lobbyists’ corporate agenda. Check out the financial services subcommittee, which handles legislation affecting Wall Street bankers. Five tea partiers got coveted slots on this panel, and all five were suddenly showered with big donations from such financial lobbying interests as Goldman Sachs. Now, all five are sponsoring bills to undo parts of the recent reforms to reign in Wall Street excesses. Steve Stivers of Ohio, for example, hauled in nearly $100,000 in just his first two months in office — 85-percent of it from the special interests his committee oversees. He insists that the cash he took from Goldman Sachs and others has nothing to do with his subsequent support of bills that Goldman is lobbying so strongly for. Stivers claims that his sole legislative focus is on jobs for Ohio’s 15th district. Really? Among the deform-thereform bills that Steve is carrying is one to let Wall Street giants avoid disclosing the difference in what the CEO is paid and what average employees make. Another would exempt billionaire private equity hucksters from regulation. I can see that these bills are great job extenders for the barons of Wall Street, but how do either of them create a single job in his district? This stuff does nothing but shelter the greed-headed banksters who wrecked our economy. Is that what the tea party rebellion was all about? While Wall Street is running roughshod all over Americans, it’s good to know that the FBI, Justice Department and federal courts are all over the major crime cases that

so dramatically affect millions of Americans. Like the seven-year prosecution and $6 million trial of baseball player Barry Bonds. What a waste of time, tax dollars and prosecutorial credibility. Meanwhile, not a single major player in Wall Street’s mugging of our economy has even been charged, much less imprisoned. People were robbed of hundreds of billions of dollars — and millions of jobs, homes and businesses were lost — yet the banksters not only skated free, they’re now collecting billions in bonus payments for their work. A New York Times investigative report reveals that top Washington officials — Republican and Democrats — rushed to the crime scene at the start of the financial crash. They rushed not to arrest anyone, but to stave off any serious investigations of the top Wall Streeters who’d obviously cooked their books, fraudulently awarded bonuses to themselves, cashed in on inside information and lied to regulators. Barry Bonds might’ve been juiced up on steroids, but these guys were juiced up on hubris and greed, doing criminal damage to America. Yet, the FBI was backed off, the Justice Department averted its eyes, and bank regulators failed to build criminal cases. Why? Because top politicos, from George W. Bush to Barack Obama, were convinced by their Wall Street confidants that prosecutions would make big investors jittery and endanger the markets. A couple of weeks after Japan’s nuclear meltdown began, a photograph ran worldwide showing a trio of the nuclear plant’s top corporate executives. They were at the hospital bedside of a victim of radiation poisoning, bowing deeply in apology. That’s the picture of Wall Street executives that I want to see.

The Yuan will soon replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency To the editor, China is moving away from the U.S. Dollar as the world’s reserve currency. The U.S. dollar became the world’s reserve currency because it was backed by gold and the U.S. had the world’s largest manufacturing base. Today, the U.S. dollar is no longer backed by gold and China has the world’s largest manufacturing base. There is far less reason for the world to continue to transact products and commodities in U.S. dollars. This

is increasingly true as most of everything the world consumes is now produced in China. China has been and is continuing to take steps to position it’s currency, the Yuan, to be the world’s new reserve currency. This will mean replacing the US dollar with the Yuan. The People’s Bank of China stated earlier this month, in a story that went largely unreported by the mainstream media that it would respond to overseas demand for the Yuan to be see ABEAR next page

LETTERS I count 12 racist comments from the left for every 1 from the right To the editor, I’m going to give Nancy Parsons the benefit of the doubt, though she doesn’t make it easy given her breathless scolding of me in her April 21 letter. I’m going to assume that you do not idolize Keith Olbermann or Jeanine Garofalo. Who can forget the lovely, and oh so funny Ms. Garofalo demonizing anyone and everyone involved with a tea party as “teabagging rednecks”. Or her brilliant analysis of all who object to President Obama’s policies as “racism straight up”. I will give you credit for having more class than this hateful, bullying woman and I will agree with you that Marilyn Davenport e-mailed a disgusting, deplorable and racist picture and deserves all the condemnation being hurled her way. I am pretty sure that Mr. Cracraft was demeaning birthers rather than tea party folk as you reference, but that matters little since I have defended the tea party several times in the past year and a half. However, I have never said there are no members of the tea party who are racist. That would be just plain silly. I have said that the tea party as a whole is not a racist movement. Nope, not even remotely close to the truth no matter how hard the liberal left try to paint that picture with every isolated incident that crosses their consciousness. There is no question in this semilucid mind of mine that I can easily come up with at least 12 examples of

racist comments emanating from the left for every one that you can cull from the right side of the political aisle. As a matter of fact, in the last couple of years, I and several others have given dozens of verifiable examples of racist comments from the left. I don’t believe there have been more than one or two other examples of tea party racism that have caressed the pages of The Sun. So, it would seem the 12 to one ratio holds true based on this very small sample. Nancy, before you go off on another self-righteous rant, you might just want to offer the loyal readers of this paper a few examples of all the alleged racist signs and statements made by tea party members. I don’t know you, but if you are of European descent as am I, then it is entirely possible, that it is guilt borne of your ancestors that is coloring your opinion of the tea party. I too have carried that very same guilt for most of my life. I highly recommend you check out Walter Williams’ Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon - http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/wew/gift. html You might want to also check out Thomas Sowell at www.tsowell.com These two men probably know more about honest to goodness racism than anyone else on the planet. I promise it will be well worth your while. In fact, it may a fortuitous endeavor that will relieve you of some undeserved guilt. Russ Wiles Tilton

Obama’s clear goal is to get as many Mexicans here as he can To the editor, The letter you published on April 22 from Travis Haley showed only an extreme bias for unions, and a lack of understanding of the English language. He spent the first four paragraphs trying to redefine four negative forms of government. Then he tries to redefine the history of the United States, which he obviously doesn’t understand. Roosevelt was elected to solve the money crisis, but then turned around and countered everything he promised, and CAUSED the great depression. Young guys like Travis were not there, as I was, and never learned from that political disaster! Odd as it may seem, the Japanese shocked us into all get-

ting to work to protect the USA, from the Japanese, and then the Germans (Hitler). The result showed how great Americans can be when they all work together, instead of selfishly as unions do. Again, Travis hasn’t followed history: In elections of 2008 the Democrats took over the House and Senate with veto proof majorities. ALL the terribly wasteful spending Obama and Democrats blame on Bush came AFTER the Democrats took over. How shameful can it get, to accuse former administration for your own theft? Travis seems to clearly understand the “kickback” of unions and businesses to legislators, which show how see STEPHENSON next page

LETTERS

C O R N ER TH E

Many of our representatives signed a pledge to gut government To the editor, Who is Grover Norquist and what does he have to do with NH? If you know who Grover Norquist is and approve of what he is doing to the state and the nation, read no further, you have your wish with the current elected group of Republicans. These representatives (although I wouldn’t call them YOUR representatives since they cannot do anything outside of party dictates or they won’t receive GOP backing) have signed a pledge that states: I, ________________________, pledge to the taxpayers of the _______ District of the state of ____________________ and all the people of this state that I will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes. Who has signed it in the Lakes Region? State Senators Jeanie Forrester and Jim Forsythe, Representatives Dennis Fields and Robert Luther, Bob Greemore and Colette Worsman. Those who sign it also vow never to eliminate any tax deductions or credits unless the resulting increase in revenues is offset, dollar for dollar, by further tax cuts. Those signing this pledge in N.H. have voted to gut the infrastructure of our state. Transportation, mental health, hospital, drug and substance abuse programs, prisons, education,

collective bargaining- all are hemorrhaging. The budget has cut over 1,500 positions and is looking to cut more. This pledge means that our senators and representatives cannot make reasonable judgments based on the needs of their constituents. So, who have they pledged allegiance to? Norquist or N.H.? Money talks and they won’t receive GOP funding without their allegiance to Mr. Norquist’s avowed goal, stated as, “I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it to the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” Unfortunately, you and your children and your parents will be drowned along with the government. Mr Norquist has stated, “My ideal citizen is the self–employed, homeschooling, IRA owning guy with a concealed-carry permit. Because that person doesn’t need the goddamn government for anything.” Did you know that this group was not all about creating jobs and helping the economy recover? They are about dismantling the government. The governments of the State of New Hampshire and the United States of America. Cathy Merwin Meredith

George W. Bush is to blame for bringing the country to its knees To the editor, Let’s put the blame where it lies! President George W Bush inherited a surplus budget. The country prospered for eight years, without a war, under the Clinton administration. Even if you didn’t like the man, the fact remains: Clinton’s term was one of the best managed administrations in the last 50 years. What happened in last decade to bring the country to its knees? There are two key factors to this equation. First, the worst financial collapse in 80 years: Two continuing wars in the Middle East. During Bush’s years, under Republican rule the first fours years, the first seeds of deregulation were sown. Democrats pushed for home ownership changing

the structure of the banking industry. Wall Street, flush with funds, devised methods of morgaging in a market on a steady rise. Banks anxious to finance homes ignored common practices and made home ownership available to anyone. All this was possible because rating companies like Standard & Poors paid their employees to approve shoddy transactions, rating them high,regardless of merit. All this happened under the nose of Alan Greenspan who was never an advocate of regulation. In a free and open market, without restraint, worms came out of the woodwork. When the housing market defaulted, companies folded like dominoes, big and small. Trillions evaporated. The succeeding president see next page

ABEAR from preceding page used as a reserve currency. It said it will allow the Yuan to flow back into China more easily. China hopes to allow all exporters and importers to settle their cross border transactions in Yuan by the end of 2011. The easing of restrictions on the Yuan is part of their plan to increase the Yuan’s international role. Many believe if China really wants to become the world’s next superpower all China needs to do is use their $1.15-trillion in U.S. dollar reserves to accumulate gold and use that gold to back the Yuan.

Doing so would also help the U.S. simultaneously become the world’s next Zimbabwe. Hyperbole, certainly, but you get the drift. Our loss will be their gain. Just as excellence in education does not come from teaching to the lowest common denominator in a class so too excellence in economic performance does not come from being the most egalitarian society ever. The best way to take care of the people of the U.S. is to keep her strong and economically well positioned. Marc Abear Meredith

STEPHENSON from preceding page Obama got so rich so fast! Travis writes that I misunderstand Obama’s support of illegal immigration. Absolutely NOT! I fully understand that Obama refuses to follow the Constitution and federal law so that he can get many Mexicans here

to support his next election bid! That is not just obvious, but what he has said many times! Travis, next time you write, simplify it by referring to the author by name. Thanks Jack Stephenson Gilford

LETTER This American is satisﬁed with the ‘ugly’ image in the mirror To the editor, This is in response to Doug Lambert’s letter entitled “Gilford School Board took the vote away from its constituents” that was published on April 21. I don’t believe that Mr. Lambert’s assertion is true. However, I have written another letter that discusses the issue of the Gilford School District Superintendent and the tactics employed by those who oppose the Gilford School Board’s position on this issue. The purpose of this letter is to respond to Mr. Lambert’s attacks on me over my comments about “ugly Americans” during a Gilford School Board meeting in June 2008. Before going further, I must make clear that I am writing this as a private citizen, not in my capacity as the chair of the Gilford School Board. I must admit that I got a chuckle when I read the following in Mr. Lambert’s letter: “In defending the proposal he declared, ‘the ugly American is alive and well,’ implying that us ordinary people are too stupid and cloddish to mingle with sophisticated global elites (unlike him and his ilk, of course).” I suspect that Mr. Lambert

is trying to portray me (and my “ilk”) as a left wing, wine sipping, quiche eating, Ivy League intellectual. People who know me would quickly state that nothing is further from the truth. (I prefer beer and chips…) Mr. Lambert must have either not heard everything I said or is taking what I said out of context. My comments about “ugly Americans” were based upon my experiences in Iraq in 2005 where I worked for LTG (at the time) Petraeus training the Iraqi Army. Many of the problems we faced in Iraq and Afghanistan were due to the American soldiers’ (and this includes officers, NCOs and enlisted) lack of understanding of the local language, religion and culture. I believe that this is because the schools in this country generally do a poor job of teaching foreign languages and cultures. The “ugly American” is indeed still alive and well because Americans are still perceived in much of the world as being arrogant because of their general “cluelessness” about foreign languages and cultures. Hence my comments that the emphasis on better foreign language skills and cul-

tural sensitivity in the International Baccalaureate program would not be a bad thing here. (A side note — the U.S. Army has made much progress in this area since 2005 as a result of efforts by General Petraeus and others. For example, West Point now makes a concerted effort to give cadets as many opportunities as possible to gain experience in working with people from other cultures. During his four years at West Point, my son Kris spent three weeks in Dharamsala, India working with the Dalai Lama’s government in exile (and this included a 20 minute private interview with the Dalai Lama), a semester as an exchange cadet at the German Military Academy, and two weeks working with the Lahu tribespeople in northern Thailand.) Mr. Lambert may ask how I came to be so “culturally sensitive”. He and many other people will probably be surprised to hear that it came from my time serving in the U.S. Army Special Forces (also known as the Green Berets). The Green Berets are probably our most effective ambassadors in much of the world. This is because much of their training involves learning the language and culture of where

they are going to serve so that they can better work with the local populace. They are remarkably effective at this as evidenced by the defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001 at the hands of a few hundred Green Berets and their Northern Alliance Afghan allies. I know that many in the Special Operations community were very upset afterwards when conventional forces came into Afghanistan and, due to their ignorance of the Afghan languages and culture, destroyed much of the goodwill the Special Forces had established with the Afghan people. Thus the “sophisticated global elites” that Mr. Lambert was deriding are see next page

from preceding page was left to pick up the pieces. Canada, regulated by an overseer, never experienced this epic collapse. It took place while Bush was president. He alone is to blame! The Iraq war was Bush’s invention. He conspired with others to legitimize war in spite of the disapproval of the United Nations. His administration worked tirelessly to sell it to the American public: It worked. The Republican party backed it to the hilt, ignoring the absence of real proof. It cost the country the loss of 4,200 brave soldiers and Marines who did what they were ordered to do. To date, we have spent three trillion dollars in Iraq. The ongoing war in Afghanistan has cost about one trillion and there is no end in sight! Republicans will fight “tooth and nail” to continue these phony wars.

Department heads tell City Council that this year’s cuts won’t be sustainable in future budgets By Michael Kitch LACONIA — While Fire Chief Ken Erickson warned the City Council of the impact of budget cuts this week, his counterparts in the planning, code enforcement and parks and recreation departments told councilors they could manage next year, but said additional funding would be required in the future. Shanna Saunders of the Planning Department said that the proposed appropriation for contracted services, which approached $30,000 in 2004, is $10,000, $5,000 less than in the current year and half what she requested. “This line is very important,” she said, explaining that it funds projects like the preparation of the Master Plan, analysis of impact fees and the work of the architectural consultants, whose recommendations will contribute to changes in the zoning ordinance. Saunders said that the department expects to draft ordinances delineating a drinking water protection overlay district around Paugus Bay and setting standards for managing storm water. At the same time, she said that the scheduled improvements to the Main Street bridge provide an opportunity to reconsider and reconfigure the traffic flow downtown. All three projects, Saunders noted, will require funding for contracted consulting services. The second round of budget cuts recommended by City Manager Eileen Cabanel in the event the city incurs additional costs or loses anticipated revenue as a result of the 2012-2013 state budget, includes the elimination of a part-time secretary in the Planning Department. Saunders said that the position is “integral to the office.” The council added the position as the workload of the department’s full-time secretary grew. The part-time secretary maintains all active and archived files as well as records all inquiries and e-mails, which must be kept as part of the public record. Code Enforcement Director Bill Stewart told the council he has “a lean staff” and cannot afford to lose any personnel. Apart from the director and a sec-

retary the department consists of a part-time clerk typist and a part-time code officer. Most operating costs are funded through building and electrical fees rather than property taxes. Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), chairman of the finance committee, said that fees should support the department, not taxpayers. Stewart agreed and indicated that the fees are “relatively low.” However, when Lipman suggested adjusting fees, Stewart disagreed, saying that with the real estate market in doldrums, “it is bad time to raise fees.” The two agreed that the Finance Committee should review the fee schedule in light of the prospect that the council may also choose to introduce impact fees. Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, reminded the councilors that the department’s responsibilities reached beyond the parks to include maintenance and grounds keeping at other municipal buildings, the WOW trail and Riverwalk, traffic islands and seven cemeteries. He advised the council that the department was operating several pieces of aged equipment, which would require replacement in the near future. The process of restoring playing fields was well underway, he said, stressing that regular maintenance would be required to ensure that they remain in sound condition. The parks and recreation commission, Dunleavy noted, is near to introducing fees for the use of playing fields, which he indicated would most likely be imposed on non-resident organizations rather than local groups and teams. He said that he expected to post lifeguards at all five beaches, but cautioned that if the department’s budget is trimmed further, there would be no lifeguards at Bartlett Beach or Opechee Cove. Following the presentations, Cabanel told the council that “we did the best we could in a very difficult situation,” pointing to the steep increase in the cost of health insurance, which rose by nearly $500,000, as the major constraint on the budget. “It’s ten-percent of the budget,” she said. “It’s insane.”

from preceding page actually a bunch of rough, tough Special Forces troopers! Mr. Lambert made another statement in his letter: “the ugly American IS alive and well. He stares back at Mr. Webber every day when he looks in the mirror; shame on him and the rest of his comrades on the school board.” I am forced to agree that the face I see in the mirror every day isn’t particularly pretty. However, I know that the man I’m looking at has spent his life serving the country and his community. I served the country for over 23 years in the Army, to include volunteering to leave retirement in

2005 and return to active duty to serve in Iraq. I continue to serve the country as the state coordinator for West Point admissions and help outstanding young people gain admission so that they can serve the country as Army officers. I serve the community on the School Board (although Mr. Lambert would probably dispute this), as a Boy Scout leader, Rotarian, and volunteer football coach at GHS. Thus, I am comfortable with the man I see in the mirror. What kind of man does Mr. Lambert see when he looks at the mirror? Kurt Webber Gilford

The society is hosting its Second Annual Spring Cleanup Day on May 12 and is looking for elderly or disabled residents who could use a few extra hands to clean their property. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

LACONIA — With community service being one of the four pillars of the National Honor Society, it was a natural move last year when the Laconia High School chapter established its Spring Cleanup Day, in which the chapter offered to perform yard chores for elderly or disabled residents of the city. Unfortunately, only one person accepted their offer. Members of the chapter are hoping for more opportunities this year. The Second Annual Spring Cleanup Day will be Thursday, May 12. Emily Dionne, president of the Laconia High School National Honors Society, said the chapter tends to perform a lot of its service within the school and the cleanup day is an attempt to involve club members in the greater community. “We thought it would be nice if we could

break out into the community more,” said vice president Jared Guilmett. “We’re hoping to get more homes involved so we can include the entire club.” Gardening, raking, planting, sweeping and cleaning windows are all tasks they’re willing to tackle. Those who wish to accept the society’s offer should call the school at 524-3350 or email the club’s advisor at klynch@laconia.k12.nh.us. The society’s goal is to gather enough work to keep all 35 members busy for an entire school day. Amy Cass, the society’s secretary, said the cleanup day represents an important part of what it means to be a member of the National Honors Society. “It’s not enough to be good at school, we should be helping people. There’s a lot of us, we’re young, we can come and help.” — Adam Drapcho

Two horses killed after wandering onto Rt 104

NEW HAMPTON - Two quarter horses were killed on Route 104 after being struck by a motorist just after midnight on Monday night. Police Chief Merritt “Doug” Salmon said yesterday three horses escaped from their enclosure on Dana Hill Road and wandered onto Route 104. He said Lucas Hanowitz, 24, of Meredith was headed toward Meredith when he struck two of the horses. Salmon said Hanowitz was driving a 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX and was uninjured although he said the car appeared to be a total loss and needed to be towed from the scene. “This was purely an accident,” Salmon said. “It was dark horses in a dark road on a dark night.”

The speed limit in the area, near Abe’s Armaments, is 55 mph and Hanowitz was driving within the limit. “He is a very lucky young man,” Salmon said. Salmon said one of the horses was killed on impact and the second was euthanized after being tranquilized by a local veterinarian. The third horse was recaptured and returned home. Salmon said one lane of traffic was shut down and employees from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation used a backhoe to remove the dead horse from the road. Salmon said Meredith Police assisted his department. — Gail Ober

LACONIA — Faced with an $800,000 liability should all employees eligible for retirement decide to do so at once, the City Council this week established a non-capital reserve fund for accrued leave in anticipation of future payouts. On retirement, employees are entitled to lump sum payouts for accrued or unused vacation time and sick leave, which for longtime employees can represent significant sums. Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) described the payouts as “a cash cow” and “a piggy bank” while Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) said they were regrettable, but unavoidable.

City Manager Eileen Cabanel reminded the council that the pay outs were contractual obligations included in the collective bargaining agreements negotiated between the city and the unions representing municipal employees. She said that if the council wanted to eliminate the payouts, they would have to be negotiated out of the contracts. Meanwhile, the reserve fund, begun with the transfer of $1 from the contingency account, will enable the city to amass funds to meet its liabilities before they arise. — Michael Kitch

RESERVATIONS from page one are looking to stay locally. That’s good for us in our nearby market area,’’ says Clausen. Jim Morash, captain of the cruise ship Mount Washington, where the charter business for weddings and functions is up by a significant amount, agrees that high gas prices may actually help bring people to the Lakes Region. “The unemployment rate in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts is a lot lower than the national average. So the people who have jobs are going to be looking for vacations and recreation and will be coming here because that’s what he have to offer and we’re closer than other destinations,’’ says Morash. He says that it’s too early to get a read on how well the Winnipesaukee Flagship Company’s cruise ships will fare this summer, but reasons that with the increase in reservations there will be more potential customers around. Denise Mcguire, general manager of the Misty Harbor Resort in Gilford, says that bookings “are great compared to last year. It’s very encouraging.’’ She says that special events are a big part of the reason why reservations are up. “We’ve got 10 weddings planned and being close to

the Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center really helps. We’re already fully booked for some of their concerts, including the Country Throwdown on Memorial Day weekend. It’s looking like a really good summer for us,’’ says Mcguire. Elaine Blinn of the Belknap Point Motel in Gilford says that reservations are ahead of last year and that they are fully booked already for the annual Timberman Triathlon in August. She says that bookings for Bike Week in June are a little slow but expects that they will fill up in the weeks ahead. And that reservations are strong for both of NASCAR races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, which will also be hosting an IndyCar race this summer. One exception to the increase in bookings is the Shalimar Resort near Lake Winnisquam in Tilton, where owner Sharon Spanos said reservations were at the same level as last year. “We didn’t sell out for Bike Week last year but we’re hoping that we will this year,’’ she said. Spanos said the Shalimar is keeping its rates low because it has to compete with two nearby national chains, the Hampton Inn and Motel 8. see next page

Pats take tackle Nate Solder in first round of NFL Draft FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots have drafted tackle Nate Solder (SOULder) of Colorado with the 17th pick of the NFL draft. The Patriots need help on the offensive line. Guard Stephen Neal retired after last season, tackle Matt Light is a free agent and guard Logan Mankins remains upset with his contract status after sitting out the first seven games in a dispute over a longterm deal. He was designated their franchise player after the season. New England needs a pass rusher, but several of

the top ones already had been picked. The Patriots traded the 28th pick to the New Orleans Saints for the 56th choice this year and a first-rounder next year. The trade was hardly surprising since coach Bill Belichick made seven trades during the draft in each of the past two years. They now have three choices in the second round and another two in the third. Those rounds are scheduled for Friday night with the last four rounds set for Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Cam Newton provided one of the few predictable moments, so far, in a bizarre NFL offseason. While the league’s labor dispute played out in the courts, the Heisman Trophy winner was selected No. 1, as expected, in Thursday night’s NFL draft, taken by the Carolina Panthers. Moments before the Auburn quarterback’s name was called by Roger Goodell, frustrated fans showered the NFL commissioner with chants of “We want football. We want football.” Goodell responded with a smile, saying, “I hear you. So do I.” Newton led Auburn to an undefeated season and its first national championship since 1957. Carolina was 2-14 last year, using four quarterbacks, two of them rookies. “I’m ready to change this whole organization around, to go from worst to first,” said Newton, the third straight quarterback taken first overall. “Just being a Panther is the most special part about this.” Then things got a little wackier when Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller became the second pick, selected by Denver. Miller, a plaintiff in the antitrust lawsuit players filed to block the lockout, strode across the stage with tears in his eyes and hugged Goodell. “I’ve never had anything against Roger Goodell,” Miller said. “I just want to make sure football continues to get played. When I walked across the stage, I was meeting the commissioner. That was it.” It was a strange opening for what normally is a festive occasion. In this offseason of labor strife, the league’s first work stoppage since 1987 temporarily

ends Friday. The 32 teams will resume business in compliance with U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s order to lift the lockout. But the lockout could be back in place if the NFL wins an appeal. If that happens, Newton, Miller and all the players chosen Thursday night would be thrown back into a labor limbo. For now, they will be allowed to report to their teams, meet coaches and get playbooks. Contract negotiations are uncertain until the league announces its rules for the 2011 season — rules that might be in force for only a short time if an appeal is granted. The draft was never in danger of being held because it was protected under the old collective bargaining agreement that expired in March. Moments before it began, Goodell requested a moment of silence for victims of the vicious storms that decimated part of the South on Wednesday. On stage, he was surrounded the Auburn and Alabama stars and their coaches. As for the stars, none shined brighter than Newton, who has shown he can handle the heat of a spotlight. He turned in a sensational 2010 season while the NCAA investigated his recruitment. Newton’s father, Cecil, has admitted soliciting money from Mississippi State during the recruiting process, but said neither the player nor Auburn knew about the pay-for-play attempt. With the third pick, Buffalo selected Alabama nose tackle Marcell Dareus, who gave Goodell an even bigger hug. Of course, Dareus weighs 308 pounds, about 70 more than Miller — and at least 100 more than Goodell.

from preceding page Visitors to the area will find a host of new attractions says Kim Sperry, executive vice president of Lakes Region Tourism, which was formerly known as the Lakes Region Association. “The Lakes Region is buzzing with all sorts of new activity, from new businesses to existing businesses making substantial capital improvement,’’ said Sperry.

One of the new attractions, the American Police Motorcycle Museum, will be opening in May in Meredith while Monkey Trunks, a high rope and zip line park, will be open at Funspot on Rte. 3 near Weirs Beach. Also new will be a skytrail adventure ropes course at the Daytona Fun Park at Weirs Beach and an aerial treetop adventures, a 3900 foot long zip line tour and Segway tours at Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford.

Lester stays perfect against O’s, Red Sox win 6-2 BALTIMORE (AP) — Jon Lester remains at a loss when asked to explain all his wins over the Baltimore Orioles. The left-hander is just happy he could end a twogame Boston slide, help the Red Sox finish a road swing on an upbeat note and get his team out of last place in the AL East. Lester improved to 14-0 all-time against Baltimore with eight dominating innings, Dustin Pedroia hit a tiebreaking infield single and the Red Sox averted a sweep with a 6-2 victory over the Orioles on Thursday night. “If I knew the answer to that, I’d do well against everybody,” Lester said, shaking his head. “I just pitch well against this team. ... I just really don’t know. I’m aware of the track record I have against

them, but I don’t know how to explain it. I feel comfortable against them. I really like pitching here at this park, I’ve always felt good here.” Lester (3-1) is unbeaten in 17 career starts versus the Orioles and boasts the longest active winning streak by any pitcher against one team. He yielded two runs on four hits, walked three and struck out five. “He threw his changeup about as good as he’s ever thrown,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “Some of those hitters, he really slowed them down. He was really good and he needed to be to give us enough time. He gave us a chance.” After Derrek Lee’s RBI single in the first, the left-hander didn’t allow another hit until Vladimir Guerrero’s solo homer with two outs in the sixth.

CUNNINGHAM from page one and goes underground to set the record straight. He crawled through the box culvert near Anthony Drive, where persistent flooding has been addressed by an innovative drainage project, and through a cattle path lined with granite, under Weirs Boulevard and into the Weirs Channel at the Naswa Resort to map a storm drain. “You can’t maintain the infrastructure from above ground,” Cunningham remarked. A meticulous record keeper, Cunningham has some 6,000 photographs stored on his computer picturing the projects he and his crews have undertaken over the years. Another file holds data for the pump stations — the hours the pumps operated, gallons of sewage pumped and weather conditions. Likewise, since 2004 he has kept a record of every call DPW has fielded. “It’s all right there,” he said pointing to the screen, “plugged sewers, trees down, potholes. Every event with the date, time, location and who responded.” Above all, Cunningham knows his job. “He grew up in the sewer department,” Moynihan said. “He is a perfectionist and really invested himself in what we call ‘the old sewer book,’ our original sewer system built in the ate 1800s and early 1900s, and quickly became a wealth of knowledge.” “For Bob his job is a passion,” Moynihan remarked. Cunningham took particular pleasure in the least pleasant task — cleaning the wet wells of a pump station. “They are full of whatever people flush down the toilet or put down the sink,” he said. Dressed in waterproof clothing, its openings tightly secured by duct tape, and wearing a mask, he would go underground with shovels and buckets. “I love that more than anything,” he smiled. “Bob is the definition of a working foreman,” Moynihan said, adding that he is generally found at the bottom of the trench with a tool in hand at every job site. “Do you know how hard it is to stand there and watch other people work?” Cunningham asked. Dave Keets, who has shadowed Cunningham for

several years, said the two were called to Water Street when a sewer line ruptured. A crew had begun work and a fix was suggested, but Cunningham immediately ordered an alternative. “We finished the job in two hours,” he said, “and were covered with sewage. They brought pizza and Pepsi, but they wouldn’t let us touch it. They fed it to us,” he laughed. “ Moynihan remembered watching Cunningham work a job on Union Avenue where a sewer line laid in the early 1900s at a depth of 18 feet, failed. “He has a certain type of courage, a special capacity, to work efficiently at that depth.” On another occasion Cunningham was called to Gilford to mend the interceptor of the Winnipesaukee River Basin Project. “I was very impressed seeing Bob take leadership in directing that repair.” Cunningham said that “there’s the right way, which is what the book says, the wrong way, which is what most people do, and Bob’s way, which is what works.” However, he quickly insisted “it’s not about me. It’s about the crew. I wouldn’t be me without my awesome crew. In 28 years we’ve never gone back to repair anything we’ve fixed.” “Bob remembers every difficult job he’s ever done,” Keets said. “Bob has a natural curiosity to learn,” said Moynihan, who recalled when Cunningham met with professional engineers to discuss a project they were invariably impressed with the breadth and depth of his knowledge. Although Cunningham is leaving the department, he plans to pursue his work in sewers. Since property owners are responsible for the sewer service between their home and the main, blocked and broken lines must be cleared and repaired by private contractors. Cunningham, who Moynihan said has always been generous with assistance and advice to residents with sewer problems, intends to get into the business. “I’ll miss this job,” Cunningham said. “Every day, every minute is different and I’ll miss the great people. But, I will have left the sewer system better than I found it.”

Sanbornton Planning Board proposes zoning amendments

SANBORNTON — The Sanbornton Planning Board is proposing seven amendments to the Zoning Ordinance for consideration at Sanbornton’s 2011 Town Meeting. The Planning Board is authorized by state law (NH RSA 675:3) to propose amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and to hold the necessary public hearings to present the proposed amendments to the voters. A public hearing was held on Thursday, March 17 at 7:00 pm in the Sanbornton Town Office to present the proposed zoning amendments to the public for consideration and discussion. Sanbornton voters will vote by ballot on May 10 to approve or disapprove the following proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance: Amendment 1: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment #1 as proposed by the Planning Board to amend the provisions of the Forest Conservation Zoning District in Article 7, Section A.(4) of the Sanbornton Zoning Ordinance by DELETING all existing wording in this section and substituting the following wording: “Single family dwellings of any form or method of construction shall be permitted in this District.” Amendment 2: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment #2 as proposed by the Planning Board to amend the wording of Article 2 (Districts) by DELETING “Drawing No. SP71001” and substituting the following wording: “the official zoning district map of the Town of Sanbornton entitled Zoning Map, Sanbornton, NH, 2011”. Amendment 3: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment #3 as proposed by the Planning Board to amend the specific sections of the following articles of the Zoning Ordinance (Article 5, Section B; Article 6, Section A(5); Article 7, Section B; Article 9, Section E) by DELETING the written description of the zoning district boundaries and substituting the following wording: “The boundaries of this zoning district are as described in graphic form on the official zoning district map of the Town of Sanbornton entitled Zoning Map, Sanbornton NH, 2011”. Amendment 4: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment #4 as proposed by the Planning Board to amend Article 8 (Recreational District) of the Sanbornton

Zoning Ordinance by adding the following new section: “B. Description of the Recreational District: The boundaries of this zoning district are as described in graphic form on the official zoning district map of the Town of Sanbornton entitled Zoning Map, Sanbornton NH, 2011.” Amendment 5: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment #5 as proposed by the Planning Board to amend Article 10 (Commercial District) of the Sanbornton Zoning Ordinance by DELETING all existing wording in Section G and substituting the following wording: “The boundaries of this zoning district are as described in graphic form on the official zoning district map of the Town of Sanbornton entitled Zoning Map, Sanbornton NH, 2011.” Amendment 6: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment #6 as proposed by the Planning Board to amend Article 4 (General Provisions) of the Sanbornton Zoning Ordinance by adding the following new section: “Z: Compliance with all other pertinent local, state and/ or federal regulations must be attained before issuance of any certificate of zoning compliance or building permit.” Amendment 7: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment #7 as proposed by the Planning Board to amend Article 3 (Definitions) of the Sanbornton Zoning Ordinance by changing the definition of the word “Building” by adding the words shown in Bold Italic in the amended definition shown as follows: 8. Building means any roofed structure which is temporarily or permanently placed on or attached to the ground including all integral parts thereof, intended for use and occupation as a habitation, or for the purpose of assembly, business, manufacture, storage, or shelter of persons, animals, or chattels. The Planning Board supports the adoption of all seven amendments. Voters and interested persons are advised that the exact wording of the proposed zoning amendments is available for inspection at the Selectmen’s Office and the Town Clerk’s Office during regular business hours. Voters are further advised that the exact wording of the proposed zoning amendments will be posted and available for inspection prior to voting at the Town Meeting polling place at the Town Hall on Tuesday, May 10 from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM.

SEWER from page one that even with the proposed increase, the towns’ sewer rates will still be among the lowest in the state. Driving the proposed increase, said Beaudin, are some much needed infrastructural improvements, especially to the pump stations. She also said the additional money will be used for operations and upkeep to the existing system. “We need to increase the rate to cover our proposed capital and operational expenses,” she said. Public Works Director Jim Fortin said there are about 1,000 residential customers in both Belmont Village and along the lakes. The Selectmen took political control of the town’s

sewer system after voters agreed with a petitioned warrant article in 2009. Similarly, in 2005 Selectmen also assumed political control of the former water commission after a vote by town meeting. In a related issue Selectmen discussed the Memorandum of Understanding drafted by Gilford Town Manager Scott Dunn and circulated to the 10 municipalities serviced by the Winnipesaukee River Basin Project. Earlier this year and in the wake of learning the WRBP is eying an $80- to $100-million dollar upgrade the costs of which will be born by the sewer users, the MOU was proposed to the N.H. Department Environmental Safety that would give the member communities a larger say in future capital outlays.

By Holiday Mathis world. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seek mutuality in all things. Create relationships with those who show strong interest in you and what you do. Don’t chase. Only move forward when you feel the “click” of togetherness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not in a hurry; still you see the benefit of cutting to the quick. Honesty is the most direct route. You’ll speak your mind and set the stage for open communication in the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll provide a fun distraction from the task at hand. What needs to be accomplished will happen -- business first is your motto -- but not without a good dose of delight and whimsy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stress can be healthy and motivating, or it can be restrictive and debilitating. You’ll tune in to the differences between good stress and bad stress. You’ll find the balance you seek. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be dealing with tough customers. Make sure the basics are covered before you get too ambitious. Keep your offerings simple so that you will be better able to serve them with immediacy. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 29). Your desire for personal security will be well satisfied over the next five weeks. With quiet strength and determination, you will bring about a desired change to your domestic scene. May is romantic. June affords a stellar opportunity to develop your talent. You’ll add to a collection in June. There’s a special connection with Cancer and Scorpio. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 11, 21, 24 and 2.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are prepared for any occurrence at all -- like sudden hunger, a flat tire or a fit of extreme ennui. The care you take in being on the ready helps you relax and experience the moments. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want any interaction with you to be a pleasant experience. Because of this, you will feel compelled to give and do more. As you strive to exceed the expectations anyone might have, consider that sometimes less is more. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll benefit from being available to the world today. So avoid letting your calls get handled by the voice mail. Personalization will matter. Your human touch is valued by all you encounter. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you’re wary of groups, daunted by the prospects of fitting in, learning the unspoken rules and understanding the charter. Let those worries go. There’s a group that matches your needs. Find it and join. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People need to know what you’re good at. Boast of your success. Better yet, find underhanded ways of delivering information so the praise is not coming directly from you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are mentally active, and your passionate emotions make it nearly impossible to stay calm, cool and collected. Tonight, empty your thoughts into a written form. You’ll sleep better. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take a moment to celebrate the discoveries and inventions that have provided you with a higher quality of life. You’ll appreciate an experience that could only occur at this moment in the modern

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 29, 2011— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My sister, “Miranda,” is married to an alcoholic who is getting more bizarre each year. Miranda and her 12-year-old son are not allowed to go out after dark. If they go out during the day, “Biff” calls repeatedly on their cell phones. My nephew cannot go anywhere without one of his parents. Biff drives him to and from school because he is not allowed to ride the school bus. He cannot go on school trips unless Biff accompanies him. They can’t do anything without Biff’s permission. Miranda is afraid to leave because Biff has threatened to kill her if she does. My nephew began having panic attacks a few years ago. My sister was taking him to a counselor who put him on medication, and he got better. Then his father said he couldn’t do that, either. Now the panic attacks have gotten worse. I gave my cell phone number to my nephew and told him to call me anytime he needs me. I feel as if I’m waiting for something terrible to happen. How can I help Miranda understand that she is teaching her son that he deserves to be treated this way? -- Concerned Aunt in N.C. Dear Aunt: Biff is an abusive bully who has convinced Miranda that this situation is the best she’s going to have. But she needs to get her son out of that destructive environment. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (ndvh.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233), and ask how you can help your sister. She is lucky to have you. Dear Annie: I discovered pornography on my husband’s work cell phone. The phone was given to him for business purposes only, but he gives out that number instead of our home phone. It makes me feel like he is hiding something. The other day I got a call from one of his co-workers’ wives. She told me to check my husband’s phone and see the kind

of messages he is accepting from his work buddies. Sure enough, there were filthy comments along with pictures of slutty women, partially clothed, in different sexual positions. As far as I know, he hasn’t sent these e-mails to anyone else. Do you think he’s afraid to tell these guys to stop sending him porn? Isn’t it unlawful to send such things? What would happen if he opened up one of those photos while driving? Talk about distracting. We have a great sex life, and I still get compliments on my looks. I don’t understand what makes men do this. It’s degrading. Companies need to crack down on how their phones are used. -- Heartbroken in Texas Dear Texas: It is not unlawful to send pictures of partially clothed adult women to other adults. You should discuss this openly with your husband. Tell him what you found, and explain that it bothers you to know he accepts these pictures. Additionally, he might get in trouble with his bosses if they discover he uses his company phone for these purposes. Ask him to please delete all such messages. Dear Annie: I laughed out loud at the letter from “Proud Parent,” the single father whose family was upset that he shares the bathroom with his 16-year-old son. I am the single mother of two boys, 16 and 13. We live in a small apartment with one bathroom. In the morning, we all get ready at the same time. My boys know that if the door is closed, they have to knock, but otherwise, the 16-year-old is sometimes in the shower while his brother brushes his teeth and I’m applying makeup. There is nothing unnatural, unhealthy or disturbing about it. We all know when privacy is needed. His family is making a big deal about nothing. And you can’t make somebody gay by sharing bathroom space. -- Proud Mom of Two in NY

FRANKLIN — Youth and Government week, established in the town more than 47 years ago, will be celebrated May 3 — 5. This program provides a unique civic engagement and service learning opportunity that offers high school students the chance to serve in a model local government process. Students are elected to the various city government positions before kickoff, which is set for City Hall at 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3. Students will get an overview of city government from City Manager Dragon, City Department Heads, and guest speakers including Franklin’s Mayor Ken Merrifield. On Wednesday, May 4, students will begin the task of learning about their new role and responsibilities. Over the next two days, they will be given a situation in their respective departments to bring forward at the “Mock City Council Meeting” to be held Thursday evening, May 5. Students will team up for three days with City Manager Elizabeth Dragon to learn about the positions of Mayor, City Council, and City Manager. Department heads will work with students regarding the roles in the police department, fire department, municipal services (highway, transfer station, water & sewer), library, and recreation. This year, organizers hope to include students in the City Clerk/Tax collector’s office and the newly created role of

Drug Task Force Coordinator as part of the Mayor’s Drug & Alcohol abuse task force here at the City. The real test comes Thursday evening at the Elks lodge where students will have prepared an agenda and council packets with completed action reports. These students will showcase all they have learned and make their case to the elected City Council. Those playing the role of City Council members will ask questions and the audience, including many parents and members of the real City Council and Mayor, will see it all unfold. All this happens after a dinner put on by the Elks organization for all participants and their families. The evening will conclude with formal recognition of each student. “This longstanding tradition of youth involved in City Government is very exciting to be a part of,” said City Manager Elizabeth Dragon. “It is an opportunity for all three organizations (The Elks, City, and the School) to work together to provide a real life experience for students to not only learn about government but to also be part of it.” “What I find most interesting about this program is that sometimes the students become the teachers,” Dragon continued. “Sometimes students give us an entirely different perspective and we, as city officials, like the students, get a chance to learn and grow. It is a win-win for everyone.”

NEW HAMPTON — The Garden Club will host Ginny Grandpre, Parliamentarian, New Hampshire Federation of Garden Clubs, who will speak about “Hellebores and Other Spring Beauties” at the meeting to be held Tuesday, May 3. The Club has started their springtime clean up of the various gardens around the village including the Betty Huckins garden at the library, Jean

Thompson garden on the common, and the watering trough on Main Street. Other projects will include transplanting to be done at the town office building and maintenance at the Dana Meeting House and Korean and Vietnam Memorial Garden by the Pemi River. Preparations are also being made for the Club’s annual plant sale to be held at Rossi’s restaurant on May 28.
