JORDAN, Minn. (AP) — A 17-year-old boy was behind the wheel of a semi pulling a box trailer converted into a recreational vehicle when the 57,000-pound rig crashed through a guardrail and into a Kansas ravine, killing five of the 18 people on board.

Adam Kerber’s driver’s license wouldn’t have allowed him to drive a commercial vehicle like that because of its weight and because it was carrying more than 15 people. But neither of the restrictions applied because of a loophole in Minnesota state law regarding private RVs.

Police say 7 dead, 3 hurt in Oakland Christian school shootings OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A gunman opened fire Monday at a small Christian university in California, killing at least seven people, wounding three more and setting off an intense, chaotic manhunt that ended with his capture at a nearby shopping center, authorities said.

The gunfire erupted around midmorning at Oikos University. Heavily armed officers swarmed the school in a large industrial park near the Oakland airport and, for at least an hour, believed the gunman could

still be inside.

Art Richards said he was driving by the university on his way to pick up a friend when he spotted a woman hiding in the bushes and pulled over. When he approached her, she said, “I’m shot” and showed him her arm.

“She had a piece of her arm hanging out,” Richards said, noting that she was wounded near the elbow.

As police arrived, Richards said he heard 10 gunshots coming from inside the build-

ing. The female victim told him that she saw the gunman shoot one person pointblank in the chest and one in the head.

Tashi Wangchuk, whose wife attended the school and witnessed the shooting, said he was told by police that the gunman first shot a woman at the front desk, then continued shooting randomly in classrooms.

Wangchuk said his wife, Dechen Wangzom, was in her vocational nursing class when she heard gunshots. She locked the see OAKLAND page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jailers may perform invasive strip searches on people arrested even for minor offenses, an ideologically divided Supreme Court ruled Monday, the conservative majority declaring that security trumps privacy in an often dangerous environment.

In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled against a New Jersey man who was strip searched in two county jails following his arrest on a warrant for an unpaid fine that he had, in reality, paid.

The decision resolved a conflict among lower courts about how to balance security and privacy. Prior to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, lower courts generally prohibited routine strip searches for minor offenses. In recent years, however, courts have allowed jailers more discretion to maintain security, and the high court ruling ratified those decisions.

In this case, Albert Florence’s nightmare began when the sport utility vehicle driven by his pregnant wife was pulled over for

speeding. He was a passenger; his 4-yearold son was in the backseat.

Justice Anthony Kennedy said the circumstances of the arrest were of little importance. Instead, Kennedy said, Florence’s entry into the general jail population gave guards the authorization to force him to strip naked and expose his mouth, nose, ears and genitals to a visual search in case he was hiding anything.

“Courts must defer to the judgment of see SEARCHES page 9

Myanmar military One & fun: Kentucky tops Kansas for NCAA title acknowledges democratic opposition party won landslide election victory YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar election officials confirmed Monday that Aung San Suu Kyi’s opposition party won a landslide victory in historic by-elections. The democracy icon said she hopes the vote will mark the start of a new era for the longrepressed country.

Suu Kyi spoke to thousands of cheering supporters who gathered outside her party’s headquarters a day after the closely watched balloting. “The success we are having is the success of the people,” Suu Kyi said, as the sea of supporters chanted her name and thrust their hands in the air to flash “V’’ for victory signs.

The state Election Commission confirmed that her National League for Democracy had swept to a victory that will put it at the head of a small opposition bloc in the military-dominated parliament.

State radio and television broadcast the commission’s announcement that the NLD had won 40 of the 45 seats at stake. The NLD’s own count gave it 43 seats, while it awaited results from one constituency in distant Shan state. It failed to contest one constituency after its candidate was disqualified.

“It is not so much our triumph as a triumph of the people who have decided that they have to be involved in the political process in this country,” Suu Kyi said. “We hope this will be the beginning of a new era.”

MOUNT WASHINGTON, N.H. (AP) — Authorities have not been able to reach a Boston man who fell into a deep crevasse on New Hampshire’s Mount Washington.

Officials say Norman Priebatsch was hiking with three other people Sunday afternoon in Tuckerman Ravine when he fell, sliding down a slope and into the crevasse. The other hikers went for help after calling for him and getting no response.

Members of the U.S. Forest Service Snow Ranger, Appalachian Mountain Club caretakers and local search and rescue groups responded. A ranger was lowered about 50 feet into the crevasse, but going further was not possible due to the hanging ice, running water and snow.

The Forest Service said Monday evening that recovery efforts have been suspended until a safe entry situation exists.

illustration of how the 6-foot-10 freshman can exert his will on a game even on a rare night when the shot isn’t falling.

Helps when you’ve got teammates like this. Davis is the likely first pick in the draft should he choose to come out, and Kidd-Gilchrist won’t be far behind.

Another first-round prospect, freshman Marquis Teague, had 14 points. And yet another, sophomore Terrence Jones, had nine points, seven rebounds and two of Kentucky’s 11 blocked shots.

Kansas also has a lottery pick in AP All-American Thomas Robinson. But he was harassed all night by Davis and Jones and finished with 18 points and 17 rebounds on a 6 for 17 shooting night.

The Jayhawks won the “B’’ League this year, as Calipari avenged a final-game loss to Bill Self back in 2008 when Cal was coaching the Tigers. Not a bad season in Lawrence, though, considering where KU began.

Kansas lost four of its top five scorers off last year’s roster. There were times early in the season when Self and his old buddy and mentor, Larry Brown, would stand around at practices and wonder if this was a team that could even make the tournament.

It did. Won its eighth straight conference title, too.

None of this, however, was for the faint of heart.

The Jayhawks trailed by double digits in three of their five tournament games leading to the final and played every game down to the wire. They fell behind by 18 late in the first half of this one and this time, there was no big comeback to be made; not against these guys.

SAVE

Boston man falls into deep crevasse on Mount Washington

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — No matter where Anthony Davis and his buddies go to make their millions, their ol’ Kentucky home will long remember this championship season.

The Wildcats hit the jackpot with their lottery picks Monday night, ignoring Davis’ bad shooting night and parlaying a roster full of NBA talent into a 67-59 victory over Kansas for the team’s eighth national title — and its first since 1998.

The one-and-doners did it in a wire-to-wire victory — a little dicey at the end — to cap a season in which anything less than bringing a title back to the Bluegrass State would have been a downer. They led coach John Calipari to his first title in four trips to the Final Four with three different schools.

Doron Lamb, a sophomore with first-round-draftpick possibilities, led the Wildcats (38-2) with 22 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers that put them up by 16 with 10 minutes left.

The Jayhawks (32-7), kings of the comeback all season, fought to the finish and trimmed that deficit to five with 1:37 left. But Kentucky made five free throws down the stretch to seal the win Davis’ fellow lottery prospect, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, was another headliner, creating space for himself to score all 11 of his points in the first half.

Davis, meanwhile, might have had the most dominating six-point night in the history of college basketball, earning the nod as the most outstanding player. He finished with 16 rebounds, six blocks, five assists and three steals — and made his only field goal with 5:13 left in the game. It was a surefire

Civility needs a reciprocal . . .

Most people know that the motor in their automobile is what is called a reciprocating engine. To operate, that engine needs three things, fuel, compression, and spark. When the key is turned to start the engine, a mixture of fuel and air is fed into the cylinder and it is compressed as the piston in the cylinder rises to the top. When it reaches the top, a spark ignites the compressed fuel and the resulting explosion of the fuel drives the piston back down the cylinder shaft, which, in turn, propels the opposing cylinder upward where it will go through the same process. That reciprocating process continues until the engine is either shut off, breaks, gets fouled in some way, or runs out of fuel. As long as the initiating and opposing cylinders operate as intended, the engine runs smoothly as each cylinder takes its turn initiating or opposing. When it doesn’t run smoothly, it usually takes some external intervention (a mechanic/the people) to get it back in smooth running order. It may be a minor adjustment that’s needed, or it may require a total overhaul.

The engine example is used to illustrate what happens in the political process. Actions are performed which normally cause others to react, to reciprocate. That reciprocal process is needed to reach agreement to enact laws, appoint people to various positions of government, develop and pass budgets, and so on. When there is mutual reciprocity, the engine of government runs smoothly. However, as we know, political partisanship or gamesmanship, often focuses on getting the other piston to fail and the result is that if one piston fails, the entire reciprocal process also fails, destroying the effectiveness of both.

Let’s take a look at some examples of how politicians seeking to gain a political advantage have fouled the reciprocal process.

Most recently, a young woman testified (in a mock hearing setting) that her health was at stake because she was not provided with “free” contraceptives, and she grossly overstated the cost of those contraceptives(1).

Actually, her testimony was part of a divide and conquer political strategy that has virtually nothing to do with the young woman’s health, but everything to do with securing the “women’s vote”(2).

In another case, during his State of the Union address, the president, somewhat remarkably, chose to hurl an insult(3) at the Supreme Court Justices who had been invited to sit in front of him. Even those who have been supporters of the presi-

dent, such as Law Professor Lucas Powe, have stated that the president’s characterization was in error and unseemly. Our Constitution prescribes three co-equal branches of government, three cylinders, if you will. If you willfully foul one, the system of checks and balances fails to run smoothly or could possibly even fall apart.

Republican Congressman Joe Wilson rudely said, “You lie!” during another address by the president.

Wilson believed the Affordable Healthcare Act would provide medical care to illegal immigrants. While his remarks were totally inappropriate, because of the way the bill was forced through Congress, our representatives did not have the opportunity to read the 2,700 page bill that would bring one sixth of our nation’s economy under government control.

While Congressman Wilson quickly issued an apology for his comment, the issue of process, in the way the law was forced through the legislature, remains as divisive today as the day it was passed.

Recently, the president violated Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution when he made a “recess appointment” when the Senate was in “session”. That provision was violated one other time in our history and it was cited as article 3 in the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. Clearly, the president’s action challenges and violates the separation of powers.

Sadly, we have politicians/political parties, who have more concern about retaining their positions of power than for honoring the values the founders enumerated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. You can’t have reciprocity, or civility, without respecting your opponent.

(1) Ms. Fluke claimed a cost of $3,000 for contraceptives. A national chain, Target, which is within walking distance to Ms. Fluke’s school charges $9 for a month’s supply of the “pill”, a total of $324 for a three year’s supply.

(2) Annual cost for Ms. Flukes attending Georgetown University Law School is $55,000, a total of $165,000 for the three years required for graduation. Median starting salary for a graduate of this law school is $160,000.

(3) The President claimed the Supreme Court reversed 100 year of precedent in giving business “free speech” rights when it comes to political contributions. In fact, the court reversed a twenty-year ruling.

LETTERS On the ADD front: you’re the parent & know what’s best for yours To the editor, I find it funny how Mr. Stephenson found my response to him as impolite. Please refer to his original letter on ADD to see the hypocrisy in that statement.

However, I would like to add to my previous letter and add some things I failed to touch on. First off, Mr. Stephenson talks about how much help and support he received from his parents when he was growing up with ADD. I think that is great and is what every child should get from his parents regardless of whether they have ADD or not. What I don’t think Mr. Stephenson realizes or understands is just how demanding school has become for children, how much information they are now required to learn and just how fast they are required to learn it. Not to mention the little amount of time teachers are given to teach it. There is so much more now than when I was in school 25 years ago, least of all 70 years ago. Any disorder not diagnosed or treated in this environment puts a child at such a disadvantage and they’ll fall behind so much faster than ever before.

The second thing that I have issues with is that in his writings he keeps referring to ADD as one disorder. The fact is ADD is one of many disorders that children can have that they are able to get medication for. For many children it is shown that they usually suffer from not only ADD but ADHD, social anxiety disorder, Aspergers syn-

dromea, as well as many other afflictions along the autism spectrum. All of these different disorders affect each child with them differently and to different degrees. They also all require different techniques and therapies to treat them, yes different medicines too-if necessary.

My advice to any parent whom my feel their child has a disorder is to get them tested, find out what exactly they’re living with. The sooner you have the information the sooner you can find out the best way of dealing with whatever disorder your child may have, and the sooner you can help them the best way possible. Remember it has less to do with giving your child a label than it is knowing the proper way to deal with it. Communicate your findings with your child’s school, teacher, guidance counselor, pediatrician etc. Come up with a plan to organize this information so everyone is on the same page. You may find that your child doesn’t need medication to treat the disorder or you find that you prefer to not go that route, and if that’s the case, fantastic. However if you find that your child may benefit from taking some form of medication, remember that is your decision to make. It’s not the doctors, not the teachers and certainly not some 79-year-old man who writes letters to the editor. Its YOURS, you are the parent and you know what’s best for your child. Good luck.

I don’t believe in sugarcoating words or treating with kid gloves To the editor, Last week I submitted a letter to the editor in response to Mr. Ray Boelig in which I pointed out that he did not vote in the March elections.

As Mr. Boelig correctly pointed out, this claim is not true. I went back and checked the list again and yes Charles Boelig did vote but Ray Boelig did not.

Not personally knowing Mr. Boelig, I did not realize that he goes by his middle name.

For my oversight I wish to offer Mr. Boelig my most sincere apology. He did vote, and to me, that is important.

Unfortunately Mr. Boelig’s last letter was not printed in its entirety; I

Political correctness may have served Mr. Boelig well in his life experiences but I subscribe to a different philosophy when it comes to speech.

I don’t believe in sugar coating my words or treating people with kid gloves when they may deserve handcuffs. If someone deliberately doesn’t tell the truth then, yes, they are LYING! No one ever has to guess how I really feel. This honest straight talk has always served me well.

LETTERS The voice of opposition is positive thing but delivery is everything To the editor, I wanted to thank Mr. Leandro for his passionate response in the Tuesday edition of The Sun. It drives home the point clearly that I am trying to make. The bully pulpit and the use of a cudgel repeatedly do not get the issues the attention by the voters they deserve – they tune out. Delivery is everything and if you prefer to call that political correctness, then so be it.

Let me illustrate a claim that you have chosen to falsely make and this is a verbatim lift from your letter “But you don’t even bother to show up at either deliberative session, or vote on Election Day, so it would seem to me that as someone did not even vote, you have no room to criticize anyone in the process.”

Well Mr. Leandro I did vote. Would you like the names of the town representatives who were there that I spoke with as well as some neigh-

bors who I exchanged greetings with during the process? Perhaps the keeper of the voting list can show you where Charles R. Boelig showed up and voted accordingly. It is precisely this kind of bluster that the people are tired of – baseless personal accusations. Well you nailed it – the truth is ugly – I voted.

Finally, I have never once suggested that the people you have named within your letter should go away. Quite the contrary – the voice of opposition is a positive thing. I just happen to believe delivery is everything.

You are correct in one aspect and that is thanking the respective people for wishing to engage in service to the community. To all who try or perhaps dare, thank you for your willingness to step up. Without you there would be no community – I applaud your efforts.

Lots of people to thanks for another great City Wide Chess Tourney To the editor, I would like to thank all the people who made the City Wide Chess Tournament a success for the 12th year. I was so proud of our students and the good sportsmanship they showed. A special thank you to all the coaches – Ramsay Eliason, Jeff Twombly, Jackie O’Neil-Viar, Andrea Morin, Doug Bennington, Jake Colby, Ernie Bownes and Ed Emond — for giving of their time to organize and coach these students and for cheering the players on Friday night.

Thanks to Regina Theberge and Project EXTRA! for providing the pizza and water and to Deb Williams for helping to organize and maintain control as well as getting the cookies from Jack’s Place (Thanks Jack Aldrich). Thank you to Jeff Twombly for also arranging the camera and screen so that the audience could have a bird’s eye view of the high school game. Steve Dalzell, Facility Manager, thank you for setting up the cafe perfectly and also for running for the

last minute trophy plates. Thank you to Ken Martin for the engraving of the plaques and in advance, for the name plates. The winners really get a kick out of receiving a trophy!

Mr. Champlin, Mayor Seymour and Judge Carroll — we were honored to have you in attendance and I know that the students thought it was special to see you all there. I appreciate the support you have given to me and the tournament to make this successful.

Gift certificates were made possible for each player by the generosity of Franklin Savings Bank, Laconia Savings Bank Investment Department, Sandra Lawton at Funspot, and Janine Page and Erica Duncan of Skate Escape. A special thank you to all of them for this generous gesture!

Once again, thank you to all and especially to the students who participate in this annual activity. We hope it was as fun for you as it was for us!

Janet Brough Administrative Assistant Laconia School District

Please take time to understand & appreciate Affordable Care Act To the editor, Jerry Connor was right on the money in his letter to The Citizen, when he wrote that Reps. Guinta and Bass are willing to dismantle crucial Medicare support for senior citizens in order to fund tax cuts for the rich.

As a middle-class senior myself, I know that Medicare works! And contrary to the political lies put out by the far right, it is totally solvent! Without Medicare, I could never afford the private insurance or the out-of-pocket costs for my own health care. So I surely want to guarantee this same protection for my children and grandchildren.

President Obama believes that Medicare is an essential program that must be kept strong for today’s seniors and future generations. That’s why the Affordable Care health care act is designed to ensure Medicare’s financial future, as well as its operational effectiveness..

Affordable Care has already filled

every single person with Medicare, while removing wasteful subsidies for insurance companies and extending the life of the Medicare Trust Fund.

It now provides free preventative services to help seniors stay healthy, and it closes the dreaded “donut hole” in the prescription drug program that was foisted on us by the Bush administration.

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have endorsed an out-of-touch plan to end Medicare’s best features by turning it into a voucher program — one that will cost us nearly as much as private insurance — probably because they owe so much to the drug lobbyists who fund their campaigns.

Please take the time to understand and to appreciate President Obama’s actions that strengthen Medicare. He is fulfilling his promise to protect New Hampshire seniors, and I will fulfill my promise to re-elect him in November.

To the editor, Three issues to talk about today: First, I wanted to tell the LDS that I was very disappointed that you did not print my rebuttal to those who accused me of homophobia and hate-mongering because I pointed out Carla Horne’s liberal history going into the recent elections. I no nothing of her sexuality, not that it would have made any difference in what I had written about her politics.

I had said nothing about sexuality and don’t care about it. I’m a very tolerant person that way and it really stung to be called otherwise. I feel that she and her followers pounced on the opportunity to bring sexual leanings into the campaign and make Carla out to be the victim of alleged homophobia at my expense. They made mince meat of me in your paper, yet you did not even have the decency to let me defend myself. I believe she got elected because so many people just believed the way she and her friends were mischaracterizing my earlier letter without actually going back to read what it said. Your paper used to be more balanced. Nowadays it seems to be turning into another leftwing misinformation outlet. That is a shame. In the long run, I think you will lose readership and fail if you continue on that path. Your daily anti-Republican cartoons by Mike Luckovich and weekly socialist columns by the likes of Leo Sandy are a big flag. Please remember that conservatives are half of your readership and most of your advertisers. Unlike liberals, all we ask for is fairness and balance from our newspaper.

James Edgar writes today about the need to reduce the real estate tax burden on our seniors. Great point Jim. Coincidentally, I had also raised this issue with Colette Worsman recently, and was planning to ask her to submit a bill next session to put in place a Homestead Law similar to Florida’s. In Florida, they recognized that wealthier seasonal out-of-staters were driving real estate costs and real estates taxes up and inadvertently forcing the state’s resident seniors out of the homes they had lived in full-time for decades. These seniors simply wanted to live out their days in the homes they had raised their families in, and did not care to benefit from any increase in the paper value of the property. They saw their house more as their home than as an investment, yet the invisible increase in its paper value drove the real estate taxes beyond what they could afford, and they were being forced to sell.

Doesn’t that all sound like N.H.? So

Florida passed a law stating that resident seniors who have actually lived full-time in their home for a given length of time cannot have their real estate taxes increased more than a certain percent per year, (I forget as I write this the exact number or years and maximum increase percentage, but I will make sure those figures are the same in our bill). This immunizes seniors from runaway home value increases and runaway government spending. It lets them know they will be able to stay in their generational homes until THEY choose to move on. Please contact your legislator and nudge him or her to watch for this bill next session and to vote for it. It will not affect me for some years, but I know many deserving seniors that will need this in place to stay in their homes once the real estate market returns (after Romney’s election).

Now, as to Kathy Sgambati’s longwinded column about the “benefits” of Obamacare… I have had one dealing with the law so far. My wife and I had been buying our own health insurance privately for several years from one of those “greedy profiteering insurance companies”. We were satisfied with the price and comforted by its protection. It was a “win-win”. Soon after Obamacare was enacted, they notified us that they would no longer be able to offer such a plan without a huge premium increase, so had decided to get out of that category. Wouldn’t a company that was supposedly bilking us so badly have been able to absorb the “miniscule” burdens and costs within all that profit they were supposedly raking in, we wondered?

What kind of law drives companies out of their primary business and deprives consumers of a service they need and were happy to buy, after having been sold as a law that would make such a service more affordable and more available? What an ironic twist, we thought. What’s wrong with this picture, and doesn’t it fly in the face of everything we were sold about Obamacare inspiring “personal responsibility” to go out and buy your own insurance, we asked? That one event told me the truth about Obamacare. Kathy can paint it as she may, but in reality it is nothing other than another entitlement… another taxpayer subsidy. And as nice as I wish we could continue to be to those getting free services through HHS, that well is simply running dry.

It has become all too popular to play around with basic math To the editor, New Math? I’m willing to accept that in this modern world what used to be fact is now a matter of opinion.

Does it really matter that millions of people decided to celebrate the beginning of a new century in 2000 when it actually didn’t begin until 2001? I do think we might want to draw the line when it becomes popular to play around with basic math. If you have no money and find a cent on the street your wealth has suddenly increased by 100-percent. If you have no money

your wealth has also increased by 100-percent. Certainly a million dollars is many times greater than a cent but this has nothing to do with calculating percentages.

Two plus two equals four and 100-percent is all there can be of something. When a supposedly creditable news program reports that a stock has increased by 200 or 300 percent they are not only wrong but also display shocking ignorance. You are listening to a fool.

Attorney General Michael Delaney who thanked all of those in attendance for being at the event which included many law enforcement officers from agencies around the state.

In addition to running into the water participants dressed in costumes reflecting the day’s theme of Disco Fever and participated in a costume parade. Each “dipper” had to raise a minimum of $250 in order to participate and by doing so supported more than 3,600 Special Olympics athletes and unified partners in the state.

Individual and team awards were handed out to participants following their dip into Lake Winnipesaukee.

Belmont pawnshops & second-hand stores will now have to keep open records of merchandise purchased

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — After getting the okay from voters on election day, selectmen enacted an ordinance that requires pawnshops and other second-hand shop operations to keep open records of goods purchased.

According to Police Chief Vincent Biaocchetti, the ordinance was based on similar ones throughout the state and gives a little more protection to victims of property theft crime and to the owners of the shops.

“Our second-hand dealers are very reputable,” said Biaocchetti who said he worked with the existing secondhand shops and gun dealers while developing Belmont’s law. “We’re trying to make this as painless as possible.”

By way of background, Biaocchetti said, largely because of television, pawnshops have become “quite popular” and his department’s goal was not to restrict the ability of people to sell their own belonging or buy different ones from second hand dealers but to

create a written record of items that are sold.

“If you buy, we don’t care,” Biaocchetti said.

In the event the items are stolen and sold locally, he said it gives the police a name, supported with a government issued identification, to look for those who may have stolen the items.

Baiocchetti also asked for and received permission from selectmen to waive the $50 license fee for those second-hand stores already doing business in Belmont. He also said his department developed forms that they will distribute to shop owners.

The $50 fee is a one time only fee and existing shop owners have to reregister with the town every April.

He said Belmont Police already go to pawnshops and second-hand stores “from Maine to Massachusetts” while investigating property crimes.

“A couple of our (stolen) guns showed up in Massachusetts,” he told selectmen.

The new ordinance became effective immediately.

250 from page one for each of the seven years the “tax” would be collected.

Selectman Peter Brothers found the proposal “a little bit premature,” suggesting that the board might form a committee to plan the celebration and recommend how to fund it.

Undeterred, Hughes countered “the earlier we start the better, especially with the tax,” which he confessed was a “gimmick.” He said that the town should collect the money before it spends it.

Recalling the celebration in 1968, he said that the town minted commemorative gold and silver coins. “This is a big celebration,” he said. “This is the proper time to plan and raise money.

The longer you put it off, the less time you’ll have to collect money.”

Hughes said that a committee

should be formed, confessing that he has been nominated as chairman.

However, he insisted that he would only serve as co-chair with George Jewell, president of the Meredith Historical Society.

Selectman Herb Vadney agreed with Brothers that it was premature to convene a committee and mount a fundraising campaign. First, he said the board should find out how the town celebrated in 1968 and form an idea of how to celebrate in 2018.

The selectmen agreed to direct Town Manager Phil Warren to meet with the Historical Society and report at a future meeting of the board.

“Everything starts with one person talking,” said Hughes. “I’ve been talking and now you’re talking.”

— Michael Kitch

AICHINGER from page one Kate Miller of Exeter, an attorney with Donahue, Tucker and Ciandella, PLLC representing the supervisors, participated in the meeting by telephone.

In February, Joe Wernig questioned whether Aichinger, who with her husband Edward owns homes at 554 and 558 Edgewater Drive on Governor’s Island, is a legal resident of Gilford. He claimed that her daughter is enrolled in the Bedford school system, the tax cards for the properties in Gilford list the Aichingers’ address as 36 Olde English Road, Bedford, and she has attached the Bedford address to political contributions.

At a special meeting on March 3, just days before voters went to the polls, the supervisors found sufficient merit in Wernig’s challenge to forward a copy to Aichinger, together with notice that they intended to consider and rule on the matter on April 10.

“We have determined there is doubt,” Moses told Scanlan.

Moses and Villaume began by asking how the supervisors should interpret the relevant statute (RSA 654:1), which reads: “An inhabitant’s domicile for voting purposes is that one place where a person, more than any other place, has established a physical presence and manifests an intent to maintain a single continuous presence for domestic, social, and civil purposes relevant to participating in democratic self-government.”

“Each domicile is unique,” Scanlan said, noting that individuals may own property in different municipalities and states as well as register vehicles, accept mail and attend school in different places. He said that several years ago the Legislature distinguished domicile for voting purposes from domicile from other purposes. Thus, he noted that the domicile of a transient living in a campground or a homeless person living under a bridge could qualify for voting purposes, but not for other purposes, like registering a vehicle. see next page

Gilford School Board decides to allow public to speak before votes are taken

By RogeR Amsden GILFORD — The Gilford School Board plans to make a small but significant change in the way it conducts its meetings and will now allow public input on agenda items before voting on them.

Outgoing board chairman Kurt Webber recommended the change, saying that he had heard many complaints about the current policy.

“We’ve been voting on actions before we hear public comment. I think we should modify the meeting structure to receive comments from the public before we vote,’’ said Webber.

Long-time board member Sue Allen said that she could recalls that the board used to accept public input before voting, prompting Webber to ask why it had been changed.

Paul Blandford, who became the board’s new chairman last night, said that he was on the board when the

change was made and recalled it that it had something to do with keeping the flow of the meeting going and not getting bogged down.

The board agreed that the best approach would be to allow public input after old business and new business had been discussed and to accept comments before proceeding with votes.

Kevin Leandro, a member of the town Budget Committee, welcomed the change but said that the board should go one step further in becoming more transparent and fully read the text of any proposed policy changes at its meetings so that the public would know what they are, noting that the policy changes had been referenced by title only at last night’s meeting.

He also urged the board to rethink its stand on electioneering laws governing public officials and said that policy subcommittees are subject to the state’s Right-to-Know Law and

that minutes should be kept and be available to the public of subcommittee meetings.

The board also voted unanimously to name Anthony Sperazzo the new assistant principal at Gilford High School. Sperazzo, who has been serving as assistant principal at Gilford Middle School. In making the nomination Superintendent of Schools Kent Hemingway said that Sperazzo had been recommended for the position

by Peter Sawyer. Gilford High School principal elect after screenings and interviews with a selection committee of Gilford High School staff.

The board also approved a six-day trip to St. Louis April 24-29 for the Gilford High School FIRST Robotics Team to compete in the robotics competition World Championship.

The Gilford team was a winner in recent regional competition at Verizon Center in Manchester and has

been put in a bracket with teams from Manchester Central and South Portland, Maine.

Jackie Drever, one of the team’s mentors, said the team has raised close to $30,000 to make the trip and will compete against 344 other teams in Edward Jones Dome, home of the St. Louis Rams.

Some 20 team members will be accompanied by six adults on the trip according to Drever.

The team has already received contributions from the School District, the Gilford Rotary Club, the Gilford Educational Endowment Fund as well as checks from several private donors.

Drever said that a spaghetti dinner fundraiser at the Gilford Community Church on March 23 was a big success and raised over $2,700.

Members of the robotics team have also been selling highly efficient LED light bulbs to help pay for the trip.

SEARCHES from page 2 correctional officials unless the record contains substantial evidence showing their policies are an unnecessary or unjustified response to problems of jail security,” Kennedy said.

In a dissenting opinion joined by the court’s liberals, Justice Stephen

Breyer said strip searches improperly “subject those arrested for minor offenses to serious invasions of their personal privacy.” Breyer said jailers ought to have a reasonable suspicion someone may be hiding something before conducting a strip search.

Breyer said people like Florence

from preceding page “It’s like putting a puzzle together,” Scanlan told the supervisors. “Gather all the facts you have available — car registration, driver’s license, mailing address, school enrollment and so on — and come to a judgment.” He cautioned that some information may not be readily accessible. “You’re not law enforcement officers,” he remarked.

Aichinger peppered Scanlan with questions, beginning by asking why the supervisors informed of her of the challenge without first seeking information from her. “That is the process,” Scanlan replied.

Next she asked why the challenge was made at a meeting of which she had not been told. “Challenges can be made at any time without notice, even at the polls,” he explained.

“How about the motivation for the challenge?” said Aichinger. Scanlan said that challenges were often politically motivated, advising the supervisors to ignore the politics and “decide the issue on its merits.”

“Do professional couples frequently have different residences?” asked

Aichinger. “Yes,” Scanlan agreed.

Aichinger said that if a couple had more than one residence, their child could only be enrolled in one school district. Scanlan agreed, noting that multiple residences frequently gave rise to “complicated situations.”

Aichinger said that she attended public meetings in Gilford, wrote letters to the editor of local papers, engaged in local political activity and volunteered for various local organizations . Stressing that she did all these things “in Gilford and at no other place,” she asked “is this indicative of a person engaging in civic activities.” Scanlan agreed “it is certainly evidence.”

Aichinger offered her credit card records to show that she shopped in the Gilford area, together with driver’s license, vehicle registration and mailing address, all of which would confirm Gilfoird as her domicile.

After the meeting Moses said that she was pleased that Aichinger effectively volunteered information to the which the supervisors would not have access otherwise. “We’ve got our work cut out for us,” she said.

“are often stopped and arrested unexpectedly. And they consequently will have had little opportunity to hide things in their body cavities.”

Florence made the same point in his arguments: He said he was headed to dinner at his mother-in-law’s house when he was stopped in March 2005.

He also said that even if the warrant had been valid, failure to pay a fine is

not a crime in New Jersey.

But Kennedy focused on the fact that Florence was held with other inmates in the general population.

In concurring opinions, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito said the decision left open the possibility of an exception to the rule and might not apply to someone held apart from other inmates.

GILFORD from page one duty ‘to provide, at district expense, elementary and secondary education to all pupils who reside in the district,’” he continued.

Lambert, Leandro and Horvath had argued that since Gilford School District broke from sharing administrative services with Laconia, voters — once in 1999 and again in 2011 — have twice voted against the traditional school district administrative structure headed by a superintendent.

The trio acted as their own attorneys.

The School District, through its lawyers, successfully argued the School Board of a single-district school district has the authority to determine the administrative position and the “legislative body

cannot usurp that authority.”

Judge O’Neill said that from the moment SAU 73 or the Gilford School District, became a lawfully organized school district, it became a corporation and accordingly held the power to enter into all necessary contracts and those necessary contracts include the one signed with current Superintendent Kent Hemingway in March of 2011.

He said the petitioners argument that the school district failed to follow the planning committee’s 1998 recommendations that set out a different form of administration when SAU 73 was first formed, was “unpersuasive.”

While O’Neill recognized the School District didn’t follow the planning committee’s proposed pan, once

a SAU becomes a single-district SAU, it is exempt from meeting the requirements of RSA 194-C, except that “it shall provide superintendent services pursuant to RSA 194-C.” O’Neill ruled against Lambert, Horvath and Leandro because, he said, they couldn’t prove the required education services were not provided.

OAKLAND from page one door and turned off the lights, Wangchuk said he was told by his wife, who was still being questioned by police Monday afternoon.

The gunman “banged on the door several times and started shooting outside and left,” he said.

Wangchuk said no one was hurt inside his wife’s classroom, but that the gunman shot out the glass in the door. He said she did not know the man.

“She’s a hero,” he said.

Television footage showed bloodied victims on stretchers being loaded into ambulances.

Several bodies covered in sheets were laid out on a patch of grass at the school. One body could be seen being loaded into a van.

Police spokeswoman Cynthia Perkins said seven people were dead.

She did not release any other details about the victims.

Myung Soon Ma, the school’s secretary, said she could not provide any details about what happened at the private school, which serves the Korean community with courses from theology to Asian medicine.

“I feel really sad, so I cannot talk right now,” she said, speaking from her home.

Police believe the shooter acted alone, though they have not discussed a possible motive.

Those connected to the school, including the founder and several students, described the gunman as a former nursing student, though there were conflicting reports about his current status.

Officer Johnna Watson said the suspect is an Asian male in his 40s and was taken into custody at a shopping center.

Watson said most of the wounded or dead were shot inside the building. The industrial park in which the school is located also includes the county food bank and a local Girl Scouts headquarters.

“It’s a very fluid situation,” Watson said, declining to discuss details of the arrest or a possible motive.

Capital improvements that would quickly pay for themselves in energy savings touted to Meredith board

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Ken Colburn, chairman of the Energy Committee, told the Board of Selectmen “there are significant and calculable savings in energy costs” within reach at a workshop yesterday.

Since the committee was established in 2010, Colburn said it has undertaken a number of projects that have either introduce or identified energy efficiencies. Lighting upgrades at the Town Hall Annex and Water Treatment Plant in 2011 and similar measures at the Department of Public Works garage, Recycling Center and Meredith Center Fire Station scheduled for this year are projected to save $8,149 annually.

Energy audits of five municipal buildings — DPW, Library, Town Hall Annex and Water Treatment Plant — recommended capital improvements to conserve energy and trim costs.

Clay Mitchell of the Sustainable Development and Energy Systems Group, LLC of Dover, who is workCRASH from page 2 rail on Interstate 35 in Kansas and plunged into a ravine. Kerber and another teen were the only people wearing seatbelts.

A neighbor familiar with the trailer said he didn’t believe it even had seat belts, which aren’t required from preceding page bune that she was being treated for a gunshot to her elbow.

The U.S. Army Reservist told her family that that the gunman was a student in her nursing class who had been absent for months before returning Monday. The gunman entered the classroom and ordered students to line up against the wall.

When he showed his gun, students began running and he opened fire, her family said.

“She told me that a guy went crazy and she got shot,” brother Paul Singh told the newspaper. “She was running. She was crying; she was bleeding, it was wrong.”

Pastor Jong Kim, who founded the school about 10 years ago, told the newspaper that he did not know if the shooter was expelled or dropped out. Kim said he heard about 30 rapid-fire gunshots in the building.

ing with the committee on an energy handbook to be released later this month, explained that in a short period of time the savings in energy costs would exceed the cost of the capital improvements.

For instance, Mitchell distributed a schedule demonstrating that an investment of $30,677 in the Town Hall Annex, by 2019 would yield $38,618 in lower energy costs, a return of 26-percent. Colburn suggested that the savings could capitalize a revolving loan fund to finance improvements at municipal buildings without burdening property taxpayers.

“We might have hit a home run here,” said Selectman Peter Brothers, who encouraged the Energy Committee to incorporate its recommendations in the update of the Master Plan.

NOTE: After serving on the Board of Selectmen for six years, Miller Lovett was elected chairman for the first time last night, edging Peter Brothers on a three-to-two vote. Nate Torr, who nominated Lovett for the chairmanship, joined newcomer Carla Horne and Lovett himself in the majority.

in Minnesota other than in a vehicle’s front seat.

John Marks, of Jordan, told The Associated Press that several of the Kerber children were motocross racers, who referred to the family rig as a “toterhome” because they used it to tote their motorcycles and other equipment to events.

Marks, who had been inside the mobile home, said the box trailer was divided into two sections, with furnished living quarters in the forward end with a refrigerator, store, TV, toilet, and a separate bedroom. Motorcycles and equipment was kept in back.

As far as he knew, there were no seatbelts in the trailer.

Many companies sell or modify trailers for use as recreational vehicles. They are especially popular with motor sports enthusiasts and horse breeders.

Tom Meyer, who runs Tom’s Custom Coach and Trailers in Independence, Mo., said most manufacturers or modifiers advise people not to ride in them without seat belts. But customers “are pretty lax about that,” he said.

“They think they’re back in a big motor home, they’re pretty safe,” he said.

from preceding page the Kerbers’ vehicle was being operated. But he said operating anything equivalent to a commercial motor vehicle requires training and experience to do it safely.

“We call them professional truck drivers because they have had experience and training that prepare them to handle the physics of driving a larger vehicle,” Hausladen said. “They receive training with regard to stopping distances, following distances, blind spots, and other aspects of maneuvering with a large vehicle.”

The Kerber family was headed by Pauline Kerber, 46, who was in stable condition Monday at Overland Park Regional Medical Center in Kansas. The hospital released a statement from her son, Russell Kerber, 24, who was not on the trip.

“We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing of our beautiful family members who were full of life.

However, we take comfort knowing they are with our Father, who passed away in 2006,” the statement said.

The Kansas Highway Patrol identified the dead as Tom

Kerber, 25, of New Prague, Minn., and Jessica Kerber, 10, Joy Kerber, 14, and James Kerber, 12, of Jordan, Minn.

Tom Kerber’s wife, Melissa Kerber, 24, also died.

Those injured ranged in age from 2 to 30 and were taken to various hospitals. Payton M. Hammers, 2, of Chaska, Minn., was released Monday from Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Other hospitals did not immediately return calls Monday seeking updated information.

A cable was strung across the Kerbers’ driveway in Minnesota on Monday, and someone had placed a large plywood sign there saying “keep out.” Several bouquets of flowers had been left there.

Marks said the Kerbers frequently rode in Friday night races at the Scott County fairgrounds just down the road from their home amid the cattle and horse pastures just west of Jordan. He said Adam Kerber was the star and showed a reporter two trophies Kerber had given him, just a small sample of the many he said the family had won over the years.

SYRIA from page 2 Rice said. “So the United States, for one, would look at these commitments and say, yet again, the proof is the actions, not in the words.”

Rice said Annan told the U.N. Security Council he received a letter from Syria’s foreign minister on Sunday with the April 10 date and indicated he would have preferred the pullback to begin earlier.

Annan urged the Syrian government to start the withdrawal immediately and move no further into populated areas, and “that commitment was provided,” Rice added.

“Past experience would lead us to be skeptical and to worry that over the next several days rather than a diminution of the violence, we might, yet again, see an escalation of the violence,” said Rice, the current council president. “We certainly hope that is not so. We hope the Syrian authorities will implement the commitments they made without condition or codicils.”

All entrées include our famous soup, salad and appetizer buffet.

Extra Teeth?

Dentistry is filled with interesting occurrences that are not seen on a daily basis. Have you ever heard of a “mesiodens”? This is an extra tooth located in the midline between the central incisors (upper front teeth) of some people. It is usually impacted and rarely seen. It can cause trouble by making the front teeth crooked or causing a space between them, so they are usually removed soon after they are detected. Extra teeth occurring behind your third molars (wisdom teeth), are called “paramolars”. A typical human mouth has 32 teeth, so if you have 34 or 36 teeth then you definitely have more than your share. I know of one gentleman who graduated from high school with 42 teeth (although several of them have since been removed). If you have less than 32 teeth, you might have been born without one or more of the usual pairings. This condition is known as “agenesis” and it is one of the most common developmental anomalies in mankind. Some people have agenesis of the upper lateral incisor teeth (the teeth flanking your central incisors), while others lack wisdom teeth or second bicuspids. There are several different treatment options for removing extra teeth or replacing teeth that never developed. If this is a concern for you, then your dentist can review these options and you will be able to make the choice that feels right for you.

Split Annuity Solution For Income and Tax Savings

By Dave Kutcher Have you ever thought to yourself, self, wouldn’t it be nice to get a continuous, never ending stream of income?

Wow! Is this even possible?

Additionally; if you’d like to take a slice out of your tax bill, the “split annuity” might be just what the doctor ordered.

Concept Here’s how it works. Let’s assume a premium of $200,000 is placed, in this hypothetical example, in a deferred annuity to grow, guaranteed at 5% for six years. The remainder, ($47,728) is placed in an immediate annuity to give you a monthly check of $684 for six years. Here’s what’s really cool; that 96% is tax free. Best of all, at the end of six years, your deferred annuity is worth $200,000 – the same as your original premium. It’s a combination of income, tax savings, and capital preservation.

There are of course variations to this example, such as rate of return and age. The interest income is not significant as 96% of this is a return of principle. Here again the interest accumulation growth is building in the other policy, the deferred annuity.

Social Security Here again if 96% of the monies are a return of principle than this income will not go against your social security check. In other words 96% of the immediate annuity monies are not going to cause your Social Security check to be taxed.

This could be a great advantage for some folks if they are trying to keep taxes low on their Social Security. The deferred annuity is growing on a TRIPLE TAX COMPOUNDING basis (check with the company your deferred annuity is with to see how they credit interest). Interest earns interest on interest, interest earns interest on principle, and interest earns interest on what would have been taxed!! Before you know it you’re back to the original dollar amount and new decisions can be made from that point forward. Lastly, in the state of New Hampshire, the interest generated in either the pay-out annuity or deferred annuity is NOT subject to NH dividends and interest taxes. This is pretty cool because at the time of this writing, the tax is 5% on just about everything that earns interest or dividends in New Hampshire. For predictabilities sake, I recommend using fixed and guaranteed annuity products for this strategy.

In my opinion variable annuities are expensive, and although some of these products have income riders, the cost factors make them unattractive from a cost perspective. Talk with your advisor and consider suggesting this concept, I know you will be glad you did.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis have a physical sense of yourself that doesn’t entirely match up to your whole identity. Like Alice said to the caterpillar in Wonderland, “I can’t explain myself ... because I am not myself, you see.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are sincere and straightforward, and you see no harm in shooting from the hip. You have nothing to hide, so what could go wrong? You’d like others to do the same, as that would certainly keep things simple.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Like an audience trying to clap in time with a shaky rhythm section, a pattern you just established may quickly fall apart. Don’t give up. Tonight, you’ll have another chance to get into a solid groove.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one said that expanding your awareness was going to be easy. There’s a certain amount of discipline that will be necessary, and you’ll have to let go of the way you used to see things. You’re ready in every way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Try not to be idealistic. Learn the truth.

Your happiness depends on having an accurate understanding of what others need and want. Otherwise, you’ll be in danger of becoming disillusioned.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 3). Your birthday is like the wave of a magic wand. The first gift: You’ll finally make time for the things you love but have rarely been able to do until now. The next 10 weeks ramp up your professional scene. July and September are good for your financial bottom line. The most romantic months are May, June and December. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 10, 30, 26 and 2.

by Chad Carpenter

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a wide range of emotions and do not just operate on one note. Anyone who thinks you should always be cheerful is being unreasonable. Expressing your true feelings makes you credible and trustworthy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something specific you do in your work that sets you apart from the crowd.

You’ll have the chance to share with others how you came to do it that way.

The information is more valuable than you know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can tell that you’re focusing externally when little things get in your way that really shouldn’t make a difference to you at all. Turn your focus inward. Being internally centered will smooth your path.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People can be as territorial as animals and even more so under today’s aspects.

You’ll recognize people’s zones and be careful not to enter into them unless you’re doing so for a particular reason.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wouldn’t trust anyone who sounded sweet all the time. Remind yourself of this when you feel like expressing your edgy attitude.

It’s perfectly natural, and it might even render you more sincere.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As you lift a hand to help another, you are lifting your own spirits, whether or not you thought they needed lifting. Why put a limit on how good you should feel?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Seize the opportunity for stillness and peace wherever you can get it. A calm body and mind will give you the sense that you can make it through the wilderness of today’s busy agenda.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll

On this date: In 1776, George Washington received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Harvard College.

In 1860, the legendary Pony Express began carrying mail between St. Joseph, Mo., and Sacramento, Calif. (The delivery system lasted only 18 months before giving way to the transcontinental telegraph.)

In 1882, outlaw Jesse James was shot to death in St. Joseph, Mo., by Robert Ford, a member of James’ gang.

In 1911, Jean Sibelius’ Symphony No. 4 in A minor, Op. 63, had its world premiere in Helsinki, Finland, with Sibelius conducting.

In 1936, Bruno Hauptmann was electrocuted in Trenton, N.J. for the kidnap-murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr. In 1946, Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma, the Japanese commander held responsible for the Bataan Death March, was executed by firing squad outside Manila.

In 1968, the day before he was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “mountaintop” speech to a rally of striking sanitation workers.

In 1974, deadly tornadoes struck wide parts of the South and Midwest before jumping across the border into Canada; more than 300 fatalities resulted.

In 1979, Jane M. Byrne was elected mayor of Chicago, defeating Republican Wallace D. Johnson.

In 1985, the landmark Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant closed after 56 years in business.

In 1996, an Air Force jetliner carrying Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and American business executives crashed in Croatia, killing all 35 people aboard.

One year ago: The United States agreed to NATO’s request for a 48-hour extension of American participation in coalition air strikes against targets in Libya.

An Evening with Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas at Franklin Opera House

FRANKLIN — Franklin Opera House Center for Arts and Entertainment will hold a very special evening with Scottish Fiddler Alasdair Fraser and Cellist Natalie Haas on Thursday, April 12 at 7 p.m.

Part of what is so special about this event is that the entire concert will be played acoustically, without the use of amplifiers and microphones. The fine acoustics and intimacy of the historic Franklin Opera House makes this possible according to Opera House Executive Director Steve Foley.

Fraser, acclaimed by the San Francisco Examiner as “the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling,” has a concert and recording career spanning 30 years, with a long list of awards, accolades, television credits, and feature performances on top movie soundtracks (Last of the Mohicans, Titanic).

Natalie Haas, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, wasn’t even born when Alasdair was winning national fiddle competitions on the other side of the Atlantic. But this seemingly unlikely pairing is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser, whose cutting-edge musical explorations took him full circle to find a cellist who could help him return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music.

Those who are already fans of Alasdair and Natalie will not want to miss out on “Dessert with Alasdair” at the Black Swan Inn, three miles east of the Opera House following the concert. Alasdair invites fans to “a wee soiree at the inn” where they can “bring instruments and jam while we schmooze.”

Tours of the historic inn, formerly the Peabody Brown Estate, will also be given by innkeeper, Sheryl

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 3, 2012— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I want to share a personal story that I decided to be very public about: I’m a recovering alcoholic. The irony of my situation is that I made a successful career out of writing about using alcohol to cope with the stresses of parenthood in books and in my Web column.

Then one morning I woke up with the hangover from hell (I actually ended up in the emergency room), and that was literally the turning point: I got the message loud and clear that my life was a mess, and alcohol was making it that way.

I remember when I “’fessed up” to the readers of my blog, “Baby on Bored.” I was terrified that they’d think I was this enormous hypocrite. Instead, I got countless responses from women thanking me and recounting their own stories about their secret drinking.

April 5, 2012, is National Alcohol Screening Day(r) (NASD).

Thousands of colleges, community-based organizations and military installations participate in NASD. One element of the day that people should know about is the free and anonymous screenings available online. The screenings help individuals assess whether they should visit a clinician or take a similar course of action to get a handle on their drinking. The screenings can be accessed anytime at howdoyouscore.org.

Alcohol is a problem for more people than one might think -- including the “cocktail moms” I’ve written about. It’s a health issue that’s treatable, but it needs to be brought out into the open. National Alcohol Screening Day plays a big part in doing this. Sincerely -- Stefanie Wilder-Taylor Dear Stefanie Wilder-Taylor: Thank you for sharing your story and underscoring the importance of screening for alcoholism. Our readers have told us in heartbreaking letters how alcohol has destroyed their lives and those of their loved ones. Once again, those who wish to be screened can do so at howdoyouscore.org

Dear Annie: My daughter is getting married this summer, and my husband and I are upset about the informality of the groomsmen’s attire. They are planning to wear only tuxedo pants, shirts and vests. No tie, no jacket.

This is going to be a formal church wedding, and I have spent a lot of money on my daughter’s dress. My husband feels this shows a lack of respect for my daughter. What is the best way to handle this without issuing an ultimatum?

-- Bride’s Parents Dear Parents: If you are not footing the bill, you don’t have much say. Not to mention, this could be a way for the groomsmen to save money. If you are paying for everything, you should ask your daughter how she feels about it, and let her talk to her fiance. Otherwise, please stay out of it. What the groomsmen wear is of little importance to the rest of the day, and once they start dancing, the jackets and ties come off anyway. Creating ill-will before the wedding, however, will last a very long time.

Dear Annie: I didn’t care for your response to “Senior Citizen Who Respects Women.” You said: “Many readers pointed out that these women may not wish to have sex outside of marriage, a perfectly respectable position. If that’s the case, however, they should tell him so he understands the ground rules and doesn’t keep badgering them.”

Why should the women have to explain themselves? Even if everyone else is having premarital sex, a lady doesn’t have to give reasons for being inaccessible. And it’s insulting to assume she would otherwise crawl in the sack. -- Lois Dear Lois: As a matter of etiquette, no woman is required to explain a refusal to become intimate. As a practical matter, however, if you want to keep dating a man who keeps asking about sex, it helps to explain your position.
