Senate looks to deal with City for State School property Faced with cost to bring property to market, Finance Committee recommends transfer to laconia

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD -- After weighing the prospects of selling the acreage on North Main Street that housed the Laconia State School and Lakes Region Facility, the Senate Finance Committee yesterday chose to recommend that the state consider transferring the property to the city.

The House included in House Bill 2, the companion to the 2012-2013 budget, a provision authorizing the Commissioner of

Administrative Services to sell the property. The House expressly set aside the statutes (RSA 10:1 and RSA 10:4) placing “ultimate executive authority,” over the site, including authority to sell it at the request of the commissioner of health and human services, in the governor and executive council. However, the House prescribed that the transaction would be governed by the statute (RSA 4:40) requiring that the state first offer the property to the city.

The site consists of three tax parcels. The

largest, consisting of 212-acres with frontage on North Main Street (Route 106) and Meredith Center Road, houses approximately 26 buildings and five accessory structures. Few of the buildings are suited to renovation and an initial environmental assessment indicated potential hazards at a number of locations. The other two lots, a 7.5-acre parcel at the junction of Meredith Center Road and Lane Road and a 10.4acre parcel bounded by North Main Street see statE sCHOOL page 10

Cuts could cost some the joy of independent living

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — For the past nine years Laura Michaelis, a 41 year old woman with Down Syndrome, has led an increasingly independent life, living in her own apartment, working two days a week and volunteering a third while making time for exercise, reading and movies. “I love it!” she exclaimed, her slate-blue eyes flashing.

But, Shannon Kelly of Lakes Region Community Services fears that the independence Michaelis has achieved is threatened by state budget reductions that will deprive her — and many others with developmental disabilities — of the services they require to lead lives for themselves as members of their community.

Michaelis was raised on Long Island, New York, the youngest of six children. “I Laconia resident Laura Michaelis, shown here with her sister Susan Michaelis Gunther, has been living independently thanks to support was the runt,” she laughed. offered by Lakes Region Community Services.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona appeals court says a business owner is entitled to challenge the constitutionality of state rules barring her from using fish in her salon pedicures.

The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled Friday that Cindy Vong can sue over the Arizona Board of Cosmetology’s threat to pull her license if she didn’t stop offering the pedicure, which uses fish to eat dead skin off clients’ feet.

The board alleged the fish were unsafe because they couldn’t be sterilized.

Conservative watchdog group The Goldwater Institute had filed a civil suit on her behalf, saying the broad violated Vong’s right to run her business in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert.

The lawsuit says the board lacks jurisdiction because the pedicure isn’t a cosmetic service.

A lower court had dismissed the suit.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Southerners found their emergency safety net shredded Friday as they tried to emerge from the nation’s deadliest tornado disaster since the Great Depression.

Emergency buildings are wiped out.

Bodies are stored in refrigerated trucks.

Authorities are begging for such basics as flashlights. In one neighborhood, the storms even left firefighters to work without a truck.

The death toll from Wednesday’s storms reached 329 across seven states, including 238 in Alabama, making it the deadliest U.S. tornado outbreak since March 1932, when another Alabama storm killed 332 people. Tornadoes that swept across the South and Midwest in April 1974 left 315 people dead.

Hundreds if not thousands of people were injured Wednesday — 990 in Tuscaloosa alone — and as many as 1 million Alabama homes and businesses remained

without power.

The scale of the disaster astonished President Barack Obama when he arrived in the state Friday.

“I’ve never seen devastation like this,” he said, standing in bright sunshine amid the wreckage in Tuscaloosa, where at least 45 people were killed and entire neighborhoods were flattened.

Mayor Walt Maddox called it “a humanitarian crisis” for his city of more than 83,000.

Maddox said up to 446 people were unaccounted for in the city, though he added that many of those reports probably were from people who have since found their loved ones but have not notified authorities. Cadaver-detecting dogs were deployed in the city Friday but they had not found any remains, Maddox said.

During the mayor’s news conference, a man asked him for help getting into his home, and broke down as he told his story.

“You have the right to cry,” Maddox told

him. “And I can tell you the people of Tuscaloosa are crying with you.”

At least one tornado — a 205 mph monster that left at least 13 people dead in Smithville, Miss. — ranked in the National Weather Service’s most devastating category, EF-5. Meteorologist Jim LaDue said he expects “many more” of Wednesday’s tornadoes to receive that same rating, with winds topping 200 mph.

Tornadoes struck with unexpected speed in several states, and the difference between life and death was hard to fathom.

Four people died in Bledsoe County, Tenn., but a family survived being tossed across a road in their modular home, which was destroyed, Mayor Bobby Collier said.

By Friday, residents whose homes were blown to pieces were seeing their losses worsen — not by nature, but by man. In Tuscaloosa and other cities, looters have been picking through the wreckage to steal what little the victims have left.

LONDON (AP) — With not one but two kisses and tender whispered words, Prince William and Kate Middleton smiled and blushed Friday as they started their life as future king and queen. A day of seamless pageantry inspired hopes that this royal couple might live happily ever after.

They appeared at ease throughout their wedding day, with William fighting back giggles at times, while Kate’s smile lit up television screens, especially when her new husband leaned over to say, “You look beautiful.”

Their intimacy stood in sharp contrast to the lack of chemistry between a wooden Prince Charles and Diana Spencer 30 years ago when they began a marriage

that ultimately collapsed in embarrassing tabloid headlines and turned many Britons against the monarchy.

A million people lined the procession route from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, many crying with joy. Cheers went up as the couple exchanged the traditional kiss on the balcony, followed by chants of “One more kiss!” The couple waved and smiled and, to a frenzy of delight, obliged.

An estimated 2 billion people tuned into the live broadcast in what may have been the most-viewed event in history.

The security operation was the largest since Charles and Diana’s 1981 wedding, and the day went off without a hitch. Police

dispersed scattered protests from antimonarchists and anarchists and arrested 55 people for offenses including drunkenness, breach of peace, and theft, but the mood was overwhelmingly celebratory.

“Everybody’s happy, everybody’s united,” said 61-year-old Sabry Darwish, who was in the crowd watching the parade route.

“Everybody is behind the bride and groom.”

Many praised the couple’s rare combination of humility, humor and grace. Kate was a commoner from a wealthy but middle-class family who actually worked for a living after university; William has long had his mother’s touch in connecting to the see next page

Republican presidential hopefuls make their pitch in Manchester

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — It sure looked and felt like the Republican presidential contest was under way Friday in the first-primary state of New Hampshire, even if the politicians on stage remained coy about their expected candidacies.

Five possible contenders, including three considered in the top tier, hacked away at President Barack Obama before enthusiastic conservatives, but aimed no barbs at each other. All of them deplored higher taxes, government regulations and Obama’s 2010 health care law. They generally differed more on style than policy, a tactic that may change in coming months.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty portrayed himself as a can-do achiever who reined in government in a Democratic-leaning state.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney painted himself as a free-market champion and philosophical heir to the nation’s founders.

Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann said Congress should not raise the debt ceiling despite economists’ warnings of dire consequences.

Two other hopefuls, former Sen. Rick Santorum and pizza magnate Herman Cain, called for deeply lower taxes and an embrace of the nation’s religious heritage.

The occasion was a packed dinner hosted by the conservative group Americans for Prosperity in Manchester, the state’s largest city. Each candidate spoke for eight minutes and then fielded two questions. They did not address each other.

Those who skipped the event included former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and real estate mogul Donald Trump.

The audience responded about equally to all five speakers, and no candidate landed a knockout

punch or made a serious gaffe. It was an affair with little intra-party squabbling. Obama and congressional Democrats were the constant target.

Romney spoke in broad terms, portraying himself as a lover of freedom and capitalism, while saying Obama looks to Europe for inspiration and guidance. He said the nation’s greatness “is being challenged by those who would make the country more like Europe.”

“We got it right, they got it wrong,” he said.

Romney said the health care law he signed in Massachusetts, which required all residents to obtain insurance, reduced unfair public subsidies of people who could afford their own care. It was a slightly stronger defense than he often gives. But Romney again said he never would impose the plan nationwide. And he called for repealing the Democrats’ 2010 health law.

That plan resembles his state plan in some ways.

Pawlenty praised congressional Republicans’ efforts to revamp Medicare, but stopped short of endorsing every detail of the House-passed plan.

He said the eligibility age for Medicare should be raised, and Medicaid should be handed to states as a block grant program. As for Social Security, he said, wealthier people should not receive the same inflation adjustments that others receive.

Pawlenty apologized again for his past support of a “cap-and-trade” system to limit greenhouse gas emissions and allow businesses to trade the right to produce them.

“It was a mistake, it was stupid, and I’m sorry,” he said.

But he boasted of cutting taxes, tying teachers’ pay to performance, and curbing personal injury lawsuits in his Democratic-leaning state. “If we can

do it there, we can do it anywhere,” Pawlenty said.

Bachmann, a tea party favorite, called for a litany of tax cuts and an end to government bailouts of ailing industries and subsidies of mortgages. She said she would auction Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae “to the highest bidder,” starting at 50 cents.

In rapid-fire fashion, Bachmann said she would “zero out” the capital gains tax and alternative minimum tax. She would scrap the U.S. tax code, she said, “and adopt a national consumption tax.”

‘Let’s get rid of what we’ve got and start over,” Bachmann said.

“And I won’t rest until Obamacare is finally repealed, and it will happen,” she added.

Romney got a jump on his rivals, criticizing Obama’s energy policies during an afternoon photo op at a Manchester gas station.

“There’s almost no silver bullet to do anything of significance in the country,” Romney said after greeting a few people filling their cars at a Manchester gas station. But gas prices depend on current and future supplies and demands, he said.

“And the president’s policies have made people very uncertain about the future of the supply of gasoline in this country, because we’re not developing our own resources of oil, gas and coal in the way we should,” he said.

Industry experts say there’s almost nothing a president can do to hold down fuel prices over short periods. Obama says his policy of a balanced emphasis on petroleum production and newer, alternative fuels is the wisest course.

Friday’s dinner honored Ovide Lamontagne, a tea party favorite in New Hampshire who unsuccessfully sought the GOP Senate nomination last year.

from preceding page public, and surprised fans who slept on the pavement overnight by personally thanking them Thursday for braving the cold.

The 28-year-old prince even displayed a quality almost never seen among royalty: humor. Surveying the 1,900 guests filling the abbey in their wedding finery, he turned to his father-in-law, Michael Middleton, and quipped: “We’re supposed to have just a small family affair.”

Then after a reception at Buckingham Palace, he took his new wife for a spin, driving a dark-blue Aston Martin Volante festooned with ribbons, bows and balloons — and a license plate that read “JU5T WED.” It was the kind of display that made some wonder whether the couple just might bring the British monarchy back from the abyss.

“It’s a real turning point for the royal family,” Nicki Hookings, 47, said at one of thousands of street par-

ties across Britain to celebrate the national holiday.

For much of the world, the wedding was a dramatic reaffirmation of 29-year-old Kate’s beguiling star power. Despite the pressure, she carried the day with an easy smile, youthful exuberance and a sense of decorum that matched the event. And when it was over all over, she curtsied easily before Queen Elizabeth II, comfortably sharing the stage with the woman who has reigned since 1952.

Obama brought this on himself It took a visit to New Hampshire of a flamboyant billionaire who’s talking about running for president in the state’s first in the nation primary, for the White House to release a copy of the current occupant’s birth certificate.

On its face, the question of the president’s birth is such a small matter. Still, it has been on the minds of a growing number Americans, to some degree or another, since Barack Obama’s extraordinary rise from obscurity to political stardom and the presidency itself, after but a few years as a national figure.

Whether Barack Obama is a natural born citizen, and thus constitutionally eligible to be president, had been a question long treated as a joke and essentially ignored by most mainstream journalists, until the high-profile New York developer and reality television host, Donald Trump, made it a big deal in recent weeks, while dangling the idea that he’s himself seriously considering running for president next year. He says he will make a decision on a White House run perhaps in June.

Trump’s prominence as a celebrity, albeit a controversial one, and the unrelenting pressure he unapologetically brought to the subject had made the question of the presidents birth a national, even international issue. And one mainstream media scribes, the president’s supporters, and even some Republicans could no longer consign to what they had dismissed as coming from political fringe elements, people they belittled as “Birthers,” and “Tea Partiers.”

But, before the wheels of Trump’s private jet had landed Wednesday morning on the tarmac at Pease International Tradeport, near Portsmouth, the White House had release the President’s birth document, which we are told a White House aide had traveled to Hawaii to fetch a day or so earlier.

Without missing a beat, Trump claimed victory.

“He should have done it a long time ago. I am really honored to play such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue,” Trump said on hearing the news.

Why did Obama wait so long to release the so-called long form birth certificate which gives not

just the place and date of birth, but also includes the names of parents, hospital, and signature of the attending physician, a simple document one must provide to gain a passport or join a genealogy organization such as the DAR or Mayflower Society?

In releasing his birth records Wednesday, the President said he was doing so now because there are more important national issues at stake than this “silliness.”

Yet it was the president’s own decision to long stonewall the issue and let doubts about his birthplace rise to the point of “silliness,” where a recent Gallup Poll indicated a significant number of Americans doubted the president’s place of birth. According to an April 26 New York Times report online 20-percent of Americans believed the president was “probably” born in the United States, and 7-percent believed that he either “probably or definitely was born in another country.”

Trump is now requesting release of the president’s college transcripts, something most presidential candidates willingly open long before they ever get to the White House.

“I’d like to know how does he get into Harvard, how does he get into Colombia if he isn’t a very good student,” Trump told the press Wednesday. “If he wants to release it that’s fine, if he doesn’t want to release it that’s fine too.

But the word is he wasn’t a very good student.”

With Obama’s poll numbers sinking like a rock to a 44-percent approval rating, the president’s game of chicken with such questions that are easily answered, and which the people he works for and who have chosen him as their president have a right to know, however “silly” he may consider them, is imperious, condescending, and unfathomable. And if the Republicans had a decent candidate to run against him, which they currently do not, this guy would be a one termer faster than you can say “Jimmy Carter.”

LETTERS Boat speed law is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist To the editor, “Sometimes laws are written for perceived safety or to satisfy a portion of the public’s desires even though that law may not be based on tangible facts.” This is the statement I listened to regarding the boating speed limit law from my attorney acquaintance.

His statement was unarguable and correct as it is being proven at this very moment in New Hampshire.

In response to some of my last letters on this law I was accused of not being able to do the math correctly when I researched either the Coast Guard or New Hampshire statistics on reported boating accidents/incidents. So I took out my math books from the University Of Lowell, MA… that would be Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus I, II & III and Statistics. I felt confident I could recall, with the help of the books, how to correctly analyze the data as I maintained an A average in my courses. The answers came out the same…Statically, “fast speed” (40 mph and above) is a very miniscule, barley measurable contributing factor to injury and property damage. I must admit…I separated “fast speed” or that being 40 mph and faster from “excessive” speed or that being too high for the conditions and environment at the time of the accident, as did the Coast Guard and the New Hampshire Marine Patrol in their reports.

I tried to measure other statements and reasons that have been put forth to justify the law, but found that the math books would not cover data based on feelings, testimonials and rhetoric. I was able to try some calculations on some semblance of a comparison brought up between automobiles traveling on I-93 to boats on the lake. I found that an interstate highway’s minimum measurements are two 12-foot lanes with opposing two 12-foot lanes that are close to parallel, 10-foot outside shoulder, 4-foot inside shoulder, 36-foot median (rural) or 10-foot median (urban/mountain), length can be considered infinite and vehicle speeds from 55 mph to 65 mph in the same direction and the equivalent of 110 mph to 130 mph in opposing directions. Vehicles passing in the same direction average 6-feet of clearance, but are not limited by law on the

exact distance required, however, they are limited to specified distances when following another vehicle (though this law is not adhered to, nor enforced).

Vehicles passing in opposite directions are separated by the median and shoulder plus about 6-foot for an average of 26-feet to 52-feet. To complete the comparison I would have to add in the volume of traffic in a specified area of the interstate at a given period and location. On the lake, which is 72 sq. miles, boats are not limited to direction by lanes. They must stay at least 150-feet from other craft and objects when going faster than headway speed. The volume of boats for the area of the lake was far too small at any given period to make a reasonable comparison to the interstate so I had to throw out the entire comparison and consider this rhetoric as well.

Now my skepticism on the boating speed limit law may be misunderstood as a stance against the law, but this would be a gross misunderstanding.

My objections are that the law is being passed as a needed legislation to correct a problem that doesn’t exist by misrepresenting facts and presenting testimonials based on feelings. If the law was presented in the first place as a desire to eliminate a specified use of the lake by a target group of boaters in order to have other boaters, and maybe some non-boaters “feel” better or safer, than I might agree with it… except.

As I asked my attorney acquaintance… how much does a law cost the tax payers to enact and enforce? My totally unsupported guess is that this law stands in the six figures and growing at this point… just for the enactment. Maybe a report should be made public on the entire cost to the tax payers for the enactment along with all of the additional equipment and manpower required by the Marine Patrol for enforcement, all for a law based on “perceived safety”. Don’t forget to throw in the data that shows the major impact this law has had on reducing accidents and property damage at speeds exceeding the limits. Maybe some of the “outof-hand” spending our state government does is due to the direct request of “We The People”.

Our contemporary society is foreign to the one I grew up in To the editor, The secular world view that I see today seems related to and is in all likelihood is driven by the belief in Secular Humanism. I say this because it is my guess that those who actually call themselves Secular Humanists or Humanists are few. Yet their ideas are disseminated through our school systems, courts, television programs, movies, books and music. If you think this is being cynical, you need to wake up. This is the way the world works.

Few study philosophy, yet many unknowingly are familiar various philosophers’ ideas through the above outlets. Though the public may not be initiated into all of the doctrines of Humanism or the theories of philosophers from the Renascence to modern times ; yet they have absorbed and in a way made their own, enough of the beliefs of this movement and these men to be in agreement with societal changes and attitudes championed by them. I want to be careful to be clear that not all of the the ideas that I will identify as harmful are tenants of Humanism, yet this Humanistic philosophy has cleared the way for all sorts of evils. This should cause in each of us a soul searching and a questioning, of from where have come the values on which we have based our lives?

The following are quotes from the Council for Secular Humanism’s web site: — Secular Humanism touches, “ever aspect of life including issues of values, meaning and identity.”

— Secular Humanism espouses, “no belief in a realm or being imagined to transcend ordinary experience.”

— Secular Humanism holds, “nature (the world of everyday experience) is all there is.”

— “Secular Humanists see themselves as undesigned unintended beings who arose through evolution, possessing unique attributes of self awareness and moral agency.”

— “Secular Humanists hold that ethics is consequential, to be judged by results. This is in contrast to so called command ethics, in which right and wrong are defined in advanceand attributed to divine authority. “ no god will save us,” “we must save ourselves.” “ Since John Dewey, Humanism from my observation and my understanding has made tremendous inroads in public education and the judiciary.

One seems to support and feed the other. It seems the higher educated

you become, unless you came into the university system with a world view already well established in your heart and mind, the more you become affected by this Humanistic world view. If you think I’m making this up you might want to contact a campus ministry and ask them their opinion on this subject. The judiciary, who are generally highly educated in this university system, seem to have a tendency when asked to adjudicate between whether a Humanist view or a Christian view is to be taught in the public school systems, generally rule in favor of the Humanistic view.

I’ve talked much about evolution and Creation in other letters. Evolution is the Genesis account for Secular Humanism. This would be necessary for any philosophy touching “every aspect of life including issues of values, meaning, and identity” and espousing atheism also as a necessary tenet, for to do all of this, it needs a narrative that explains how we got here, or those claims would just seem silly, being atheistic, special creation is off the table. Living in a country that grew from immigrants mostly from Christendom and who won their independence from England a few decades after the Great Awakening; in this country, in which until the later half of the 20th century Americanism and Protestantism were synonymous terms, Secular Humanism could not take root in the general populace without the theory of evolution being taught in our public schools and prayer and Scripture reading being quarantined to outside the school system. For then a generation could be raised with an inverted estimation of what is worthy of esteem and what ought to be marginalized.

Today those of use who have lived long enough to see it, recognize that we live in a country and a society that is nearly completely foreign to that which we grew up in. It is a place that is less civil, less honest, less trusting, more lawless, less faithful, more promiscuous, less family oriented, less given to self sacrifice, more divided, less self-controlled, less prosperous and more dependent, than the country we grew up in. Does the change in which of these views (Humanist view or Christian view) has come to be publicly esteemed and which has been marginalized have anything to do with this? You bet it does. It has everything to do with it.

Greedy oil companies shouldn’t be allowed to charge so much To the editor, I want to know what is wrong with this country, or I should say the government letting the greedy oil companies get away with all these high gas and oil prices? How is the economy going to grow when we Americans can’t make ends meet?

So now we all have to cut corners just to pay for the gas and oil to go to work and heat our homes. People have cut back on the driving. So now the economy will be hurt even more.

Tourists will not be doing much road trips or anything else.

Meanwhile the stupid government is doing NOTHING to help the American people out. The government is asleep all the time, until it is too late, then they might do something about this. Meanwhile, big oil companies are making a big profit. Is this right?

Now we have to worry about three wars? When are they going to mind our damn business and concentrate on the American people, who are hurting big time. I guess that is Obama’s plans to ruin us and bring this country to it’s knees. If they want to fight in those see next page

LETTERS You can blame whoever you want for the current mess but we’ve still got to clean it up To the editor, Thanks to The Daily Sun and councilor Brenda R. Baer I would be unaware of the problem that councilor Baer brings to light here on this Wednesday morning. I think the councilor is right to be concerned about the cuts to fund testing of our lakes and waterways as well as those addressing the milfoil problems. I wish I had a solution to the problem other then to ask if some other source of funding could be developed? No, I have no ideas on this matter but hope someone much smarter then I does as it would benefit the whole region if someone does.

This is just one of the many problems that has come to light due to both our state and federal governments irresponsible spending habits. Blame whoever you like, blame either or both parties the fact remains we’re in a jam. Unfortunately the president elected to fix the problem has not. It’s a fact that he has actually created more debt, higher unemployment and wasted more tax money then any president in history. “Yes we can”, has become, please stop!

Great news! Obama has released his full birth certificate. Well good for him. Only two and a half years later and all kinds of money spent hiding it. We finally get a little peek into that very well hidden transparent government he once promised. And as for his supporters who are bound to ask, (are you satisfied now?), the answer to that is NO. I still want many more questions asked and answered such as did he get a scholarship to Occidental intended for foreign students and if so how? I know all these pesky little details that the lame stream media failed to address in their rush to judgment during the campaign. So no I’m not satisfied. The fact is I don’t like his policies period. I perceive him as a socialist and for his supporters who perceive that as some kind of slur not to be used I say, not so. It is a descriptive adjective which reflects the political realfrom preceding page countries, let them kill each other and we should not police the whole damn world. Charity should begin at home. Stop giving aid to all the countries that are crying for help. What about us? We are going broke and can’t afford to give any help to other country’s until we can clean our mess up.

OBAMA, YOUR FIRED! What a mess this all is!

Anna DeRose Moultonborough

ity of his programs and beliefs. It’s not like calling him a despicable name like raciest. There is an old saying which I like to apply to this man. “The devil is in the details”. Truth to be told he was as advertised by his critics during the campaign, a rookie senator without experience or background for the job. True that’s not his fault it’s ours, we elected him and allowed the lame stream media to push the band wagon on up the street while failing to properly vet the candidate.

Once again blame whoever you like but recognize there is a problem which threatens to engulf us all and

the glib sound bites of slick politicians, whether Republican or Democrat, are designed to advance themselves and not the people. If someone tells us they will give us something for nothing you must know that it is not so. Everything has a price either now or later. We must not be seduced by the buy now, pay later enticement of crafty self servers. As a nation and a people we must get our house in order, reduce spending across the board by government and as a great American once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”, (J.F.K.).

It seems personal attacks are only inappropriate when directed at the School Board To the editor, So Chairman Webber wants a calm, clear, and accurate discussion of the issue? That’s funny considering he and the Gilford School Board have been trying to avoid and/or distort the facts of this issue since the petition for a warrant article was presented.

First they blocked access to the historic records by forcing anyone who inquired to file a “Freedom of Information Act” request and then charging them twice the commercial rate for photocopies. (I commend Mr. Dormondy for acquiring these documents and posting them on his website.)

Then, at the deliberative session, they tried to pass the petition warrant article off as “advisory only”. Petition warrant articles, like regular warrant articles carry the weight of law. Then the School Board, without notice, on March 7 (one day before the taxpayers had an opportunity to vote this issue) announced that they hired a superintendent.

The board had previously publicly announced that a decision would not be made until the beginning of April. How many taxpayers had seen the front page of the Sun before they voted? And Mr. Webber is complaining about dirty political tactics? Two weeks after the vote the School Board held a meeting in which they refused to even comment on the result of the vote, and would not answer any questions about the issue. After the School Board refused to even address this issue, much less attempt to explain where they get the legal authority to ignore this petition warrant article (none exist), I, and apparently others felt the only way to get the board’s attention was to write letters to the editor. It seems as though it has worked. The board was shamed into addressing this issue at their next meeting. Mr. Webber himself gave a pathetic presentation, rely-

ing solely on narrow quotes from debates contained in 13 year old meeting minutes, and a letter from the DOE quoting a law that doesn’t even pertain to this issue. The law that is relevant to this issue, RSA 194C, was never mentioned by Mr. Webber. The board was also shamed into posting most of the relevant information on their website, however once again they failed to include the relevant law, RSA 194C. In Mr. Webber’s letter he made mention to the low 12-percent voter turnout and surmised that had more people been aware of the implications they would have turned out to defeat this article. Wasn’t it Mr. Webber and the Gilford School Board that told the voters that the petition warrant article was nonbinding and advisory only, thus having no implication at all? And Mr. Webber, the low voter turnout argument might have been relevant had the vote been close, but it passed with a nearly 2 to 1 margin, get real!

I am so glad Mr. Webber has the moral authority to condemn what he considers “personal attacks”, but he should have used that moral authority to correct a parent when she stood up at his meeting and called those who oppose a superintendent position “a bunch of BLOWHARDS”, or maybe he could have used it to stop Mr. Wernig’s tirade directed at me.

I noticed Mr. Webber didn’t mention Jim Babcock’s nasty personal attack on me, and others that was printed in the Sun. Where’s the outrage Mr. Chairman? Oh I see it’s only a bad thing if you disagree with the statements. I would argue that most, if not all of the vitriol is a result of your own words and actions, Mr. Webber.

I’ve reached out to Mr. Webber both in the press

LETTERS Women deserve respect in abortion discussion, so do the unborn To the editor, A Mr. Christopher Burbank has responded to a recent letter of mine that was printed in The Daily Sun. In his response, he states that society should not politicize women’s health.

Maybe he thought that was what I was trying to accomplish in my letter.

No, Mr. Burbank. I do not have a political stand on the issue of abortion.

My thoughts are with the unborn children that abortions kill. This isn’t a Democrat, Republican, or independent issue; it is a Right to Life issue.

The constitution guarantees the right to life among other rights, and when a woman becomes pregnant she is carrying a child. Certainly I acknowledge that our present system allows a woman to choose abortion. But she

can also choose life for her child.

The murder of a baby isn’t a health issue unless one believes ending life is health. Another writer to this paper recently put it this way: Many women have regretted having an abortion, but rarely ever or never do we have a woman regretting having that little bundle of joy, the baby. If a pregnant woman doesn’t want her child for one reason or another, she could still preserve life by putting her baby up for adoption. And of course there are women and men who know how to prevent pregnancy in the first place.

Yes, Mr. Burbank, women deserve respect. We must also respect the lives of the unborn by giving them life.

Choose Life.

Jack produces a quart of liberal blood from a mere paper cut To the editor, Jack Polidoro has found himself in a bit of a “dust up” with The Laconia Daily Sun. It seems Jack demands editorial control of the headlines above his letters. He alleges the poetic license The Daily Sun uses over headlines comes as a complete shock to him. I am not sure why. There is sure nothing new about this fact as anyone who contributes regularly to The Sun knows, including him. I have contributed dozens of articles to The Sun over the years (as he has) and they have never once used my suggested headline. I usually like theirs better anyway.

The position of The Sun is totally understandable. I am sure many people suggest rather bland and uninspiring titles. Newspaper people know their game and should have the last call. The Sun has a fiduciary responsibility to itself and its owners (investors) to “ sell news” and entertainment in the absolute best way it knows how.

Even though the paper is free it is kept alive and profitable by advertisers who pay in good part based on circulation numbers and readership which depend on interesting headlines and stories. Abortion is a red” hot button” controversial word that gets readers attention. Planned Parenthood (PPH) is a three word sleeping pill. As much as they may interest Jack, the word abortion inspires 20 times the interest. Secondly, Jack’s real primary intent was not even

PPH. The bottom line was about but bad mouthing Republicans, which is his signature style. One thing is for sure now thanks to Jack everyone in the Lakes Region knows of the relationship between PPH and abortion and if Jack was trying to down play that aspect it is sure the “headline” of the day now.

Jack is a very interesting guy who produces a quart of liberal blood from a mere paper cut. He was the Lakes Region’s head “ Bush basher” for years and held literary love fests for Obama after his election. Last October before the mid-term elections Jack tried a very clever Democratic vote getting invention. He accused WMUR TV that their polling sample sizes were too small and that they were distorting the predictions of who might win.

WMUR’s polls indicated Democrats Carol Shea- Porter and Paul Hodes were going to be shellacked. It was Jack’s camouflaged get out the Democratic vote try. He feared that too many Dem’s would be sitting on their derrieres and refrain from voting after hearing those WMUR predictions. I offered to bet Jack big money his thesis was toilet material but he refused to rise for my bait. As we all know WMUR’s predictions were right on the money. I have yet to see an update from Jack acknowledging that his thesis found that flush of relief it so badly needed.

Jane Goss has my vote for town clerk, I hope she has yours too To the editor, I am writing to recommend to Sanbornton voters the re-election of Jane Goss as Town Clerk at the May 10th election. During my several years as Town Moderator, it was my pleasure to work with Jane at elections and Town Meetings. Jane is a knowledgeable from preceding page and in person; Mr. Webber has NO desire to have a reasonable conversation about this issue, I respect Mr. Webber’s service to this great country and have told him so personally. I am a former (never ex) Marine, who also served in combat during the first Gulf War as well as

and dedicated Town Clerk. Her integrity is beyond question. She is people oriented, helpful and works well with local citizens and all she serves.

Jane has my vote and yours too, I hope.

Don Foudriat Sanbornton Somalia. I don’t often feel it is necessary to qualify my statements with my service record. Mr. Webber shouldn’t have to either, but then again, when you’re picking at straws you have to use the only facts you have at your disposal.

384 Main St. • Ashland, NH 03217 • 603-968-3005 Exit 24 off I-93 --- 1/2 mile north on U.S. Route 3

LACONIA - Local television personality Charlie St. Clair hosted and filmed a round table discussion about the failure of the state government to adequately supervise a failed Meredith company. The program is currently being aired on Lakes Region Public Access television.

Called the FRM Scandal - A Failure of State Government - St. Clair and his guests, Peter Martino of Amherst, Kenneth Miller of Amherst, and Alan and Susan McIlvene of Kittery Point, Maine discussed the recently released “Chandler” report.

The report followed a four-month examination conducted by retired Tilton Attorney Charles Chandler on the orders of N.H. Secretary of State William Gardner. He determined the three state agencies responsible for the oversight of Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. - the Department of Banking, the Bureau of Securities and the Office of the Attorney General failed in their duty to protect the clients of Scott Farah of Meredith and his business partner Donald Dodge of Belmont.

While many of the details of the machinations of Scott Farah, the former president of Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. and his business partner

Donald Dodge, the president of the FRM servicing arm CLM came as no surprise to St. Clair, he said his review of Susan McIlvene’s timeline of events was “shocking.”

“There was a lot of finger-pointing to be sure,” St. Clair said. Much of the discussion featured in the program focused on what was known by which N.H. government agencies and when they knew it.

According to Susan McIlvene’s time line, in 2000 Attorney Steve Latici who represented a client in a related case sent at least three letters to the Bureau of Securities alleging what he believed to be a Ponzitype scheme within Financial Resources.

In 2000, former Banking Commissioner Peter Hildreth, who ultimately resigned his position in 2010 after the governor took steps to fire him, was the Director of the Bureau of Securities.

In 2001 a routine Banking Department examination found four audit violations and determined Financial Resources Assistance of the Lakes Region - FRM’s former name - insolvent.

“At that point,” said Alan McIlvene, who never became involved with FRM until 2008, “the state was obligated to shut them down.”

Boats may now be fitted with ‘switchable’ muffling device CONCORD — While the debate about boating speed limits continues Governor John Lynch this week signed into law legislation that will allow the owners of loud boats with through-the-hull exhaust systems to fit a device to dampen the sound while idling or proceeding at headway speed.

State law prescribes noise limits for marine engines. The limits for engines built before 1991 are 90 decibels while stationary and 84 decibels at 50 feet and for newer vessels 88 decibels and 82 decibels. However, another statute forbids operating “a boat equipped with a lever, cable, or other device that may be used to adjust the muffling device.”

Senate Bill 441 repeals the prohibition and provides that “a boat my be equipped with a switchable

device that will reduce the exhaust noise level” in compliance with the statutory limits.

The bill was sponsored by Representative John Hikel (R-Goffstown) at the request of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire.

from preceding page found evidence that two of Hildreth’s brothers are involved with Financial Resources.

Hildreth left Securities to become Banking Commissioner and in 2002 Jurta followed him. After the Ponzi scheme collapsed, he stated repeatedly he “recused himself” from any further involvement with Financial Resources back in 2001 because of his family’s involvement but never formalized the recusal in writing.

Also in 2001, a new attorney with the Securities Bureau responded to Latici’s complaint and ordered Financial Resources to cease and desist, ordering a show-cause hearing as to why they should be allowed to remain in business.

That same year, Securities Bureau investigators learned there was evidence of preferred shareholders, who by 2007 were repaid when Farah settled with the bureau for illegally issuing securities and “borrowed” or stole money from a line of credit established by Dodge through CLM after its establishment in 2005.

Using information gathered from the Right to Know Law, Susan McIlvene identified 63 more banking violations in the years 2003 through 20008including two for using an unlicensed mortgage servicing company (CLM) and 15 separate complaints.

Meanwhile, McIlvene identified at least one incident in 2001 where the Banking Department denied the securities bureau access to requested files.

In 2004, the Office of the Attorney General became involved when a former FRM employee calls with information of illegal activity. She says she is in fear for her life The matter was referred to Banking whose attorney issued a second show-cause order in 2005 stating FRM “has illustrated willingness to forgo the laws and rules of the state of N.H. whenever they see fit.”

A criminal complaint was made by a former Assistant Attorney General to the existing AG’s Office but no action was taken.

In 2006 a second criminal complaint from the former Assistant Attorney General was made and

“casually referred to the FBI.” Also in 2006, Farah was identified by members of the Attorney General’s Office as a silent partner in Skill-Med, a failed nursing school, whose founder alleged Farah embezzled from the company and was alleged to have ties to organized crime. Skill-Med collapsed, its students were never reimbursed, but Farah went unscathed.

Over the next two years two more consumer complaints came to the Attorney General’s Office, both of which were referred to the banking department.

In 2009, FRM and CLM abruptly ceased operating and within three weeks, the Attorney General’s Office, representing the Banking Department, petitioned for an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy putting the entire matter into the hands of the Federal Bankruptcy Court and Bankruptcy Trustee Steve Notinger - whose firm Donchess and Notinger, PLLC has so-far billed the estate about $750,000 for services.

St. Clair, who spent about 90 minutes discussing the FRM debacle with his guests before filming the show said the story is nothing but “unbelievable” even “crazy” when he considered how much information the state government agencies had and their respective inability or refusal to cooperate with one other.

He also echoed his guest’s sentiments that had the Better Business Bureau and the Banking Department admitted there were complaints when prospective FRM clients called, things could have turned out much differently for the nearly 500 people who lost an estimated $33 million.

Even if they told us there were complaints but that they were confidential, it would have set off enough red flags that many of us never would have trusted FRM Martino and Alan McIlvene told St. Clair.

“But instead, they denied there were any complaints except one minor one that had already been resolved” McIlvene said.

“It’s just crazy,” said St. Clair.

The documentary can be viewed on Channel 25 of Lakes Region Public Access. It lasts about 56 minutes and the schedule can be found by going to www.lrpa.org.

Lakeport tax increment district nearly complete

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — City Manager Eileen Cabanel told the City Council this week that the delineation of a tax increment financing district, or TIF, in Lakeport is nearing completion. She explained that the project began in 2007, but stalled when much of the preliminary work was rendered obsolete by the revaluation of properties. throughout the city.

Tax increment financing allows municipalities to delineate TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to service borrowings used to fund public improvements within it. Typically, half of the incremental revenues will be reinvested in the TIF district and half deposited in the general fund. The improvements are made in conjunction with private developers, who undertake to complete particular projects while municipalities commit to enhancing infrastructure — roadways, drainage, sidewalks, utilities and so on — within the TIF district.

After establishing a TIF district downtown in

2004, the city almost at once began contemplating similar districts in Lakeport and at The Weirs. However, the effort did not gather momentum until after the “smart growth” team from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, which visited the city in 2006, offered several promising recommendations for redeveloping properties on the lakeside, Elm Street and the Square in Lakeport.

Cabanel explained that the boundaries of the TIF district should capture the properties to be redeveloped and rise in value as well as areas in need of infrastructure improvement.

When the district was first drawn it covered 51-acres with an aggregate assessed property value of nearly $41-million, of which $12.3-million is almost equally divided between Lake Village Apartments and the Opechee Inn and Spa and accompanying conference center. Among properties ripe for redevelopment, perhaps the most promising was a 4.81-acre lot at 42 Franklin Street fronting on Lake Opechee. The site includes three buildings, two described as light industrial and the third a warehouse. The parcel has an assessed value of almost $1.5-million.

STATE SCHOOL from page one and Old North Main Street, are both vacant.

In addition, the site is surrounded by another 205 acres of state owned land, including the 128.8 acres of Ahern State Park. The Robbie Mills Sports Complex covers 10.2 acres, which were leased to the city for 99 years in 1998. The Opechee Bay Tract of 48.33 acres, which includes a pump station for the Winnipesaukee River Basin Project, lies between North Main Street and Lake Opechee.

Linda Hodgdon, commissioner of administrative services, told the committee that 14 steps would have to be taken to sell the property, estimating that it could not be put on the market until February 2012. Apart from reviewing the deeds, the status of all utility easements and use agreements would have to be determined. After a survey, accompanied by subdivision plans, and an appraisal, a marketing plan would be developed and the property sold. Hodgdon estimated the cost of the process at $250,000.

Furthermore, Hodgdon reminded the committee that in 2005 the United States Environmental Protection Agency ordered the state to improve the stormwater drainage system, claiming it carries pollutants to Lake Winnisquam. The project is esti-

mated to cost $575,000. Meanwhile, the 2012-2013 capital budget includes $300,000 for an environmental assessment of the property and $300,000 for repairing the roofs of several buildings on the site.

“It’s going to become a money pit,” said Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), who chairs the committee.

City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who has chaired a legislative commission to frame recommendations for the future of the property, told the senators that when the city learned that the Legislature aimed to sell the site, it began positioning itself to submit a proposal.

Lahey said that the city is especially concerned to retain control of some 50 acres adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex known as Hank Risley Field, which is owned by the state and leased to the city.

The land provides parking for the complex, which is home to the Laconia Muskrats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. Lahey stressed that without the parking space, the success of the franchise and the complex would be jeopardized.

Lahey also suggested the city was interested in acquiring the 77 acres bordered by North Main Street, Meredith Center Road and Right Way Path, which represents about a third of the former state see next page

FULLER from page one In January, a Belknap County grand jury indicted Fuller for five separate Class A felony charges of rape of a child who was less than 16-year-old. The crimes were alleged to have happened repeatedly between March 20, 2010 and June 20, 2010 in Gilford.

Court paperwork indicated Fuller lived in the same household as his victim.

In March a different Belknap County grand jury indicted Fuller for two counts of aggravated felo-

nious sexual assault for acts he allegedly committed against the same victim when she was under 13-year-old. Those charges stemmed from alleged incidents in Alton and allegedly occurred from Sept.

17, 2007 through Dec. 18, 2007.

Earlier this month The Citizen reported Fuller had also been charged in at least 10 similar cases by police in Johnstown, Penn. after the victim told her mother who reported it to the Johnstown Police.

Johnstown Police did not return The Sun’s phone calls.

Meredith women watch royal wedding in proper style

The WWW (Wonderful Women Walking) group of Meredith celebrated the British Royal Wedding on Friday morning. The WWW group has been meeting each week and walking together for the past 12 years. The wedding party was hosted by Tuffy Hamblet and Fran Secord at Mrs. Hamblet’s home. Shown here in the first row, left to right: Tuffy Hamblet, Denny Stringfellow, Rita Kelley, Helen Heiner. In the second row are: Liz Lapham, Sandy Sabutis, Fran Secord, Barbara Lauterbach, Nancy Curran, Linda Huntress, Gail Ziemba. (Courtesy photo)

from preceding page school site. He suggested the land could be purchased with conservation funds, placed under a conservation easement and put to agricultural uses.

To facilitate the transaction, Lahey proposed the city would surrender its leases on the two smaller state-owned parcels, at the corner of Meredith Center Road and Lane Road and between North Main Street and Old North Main Street. Unencumbered by the leases, the properties could be offered for sale. He said that the larger of the two parcels was well suited to residential development.

The state would be left with remaining 75 acres between Right Way Path and Ahern State Park, where most of the buildings stand and all of the environmental problems exist, to sell to a private buyer. A buyer would be bound by the municipal zoning ordinance. Last year, to forestall intensive residential development of the site, the city rezoned the property, placing it in the RR1 district where the minimum lot size is two acres and lots require 250 feet of road frontage.

Senator Jack Barnes (R-Raymond) questioned what he called “cherry picking,” suggesting that if the city acquired the choice portions of the site, the value of the remainder, with its dilapidated buildings and environmental problems, would be diminished. “That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me,” he said, asking Lahey “why not take the whole thing?”

Perhaps recalling the dispute over locating the prison on the site, Morse referred to “the angst between Laconia and the state,” reflected by the city’s decision to rezone the property, and feared “we’re back in it again.” He said the state should not

invest in the property, even pay to maintain it and certainly not build a community college on it. “We don’t have the money,” he remarked. “But, if we don’t do something in this budget, nothing will happen.”

“Laconia should be the first choice,” Morse continued, suggesting that members of the committee, together with Lahey and other representatives of the city, meet with Governor John Lynch and “talk this out.”

Afterwards Morse said that if the state reached agreement with the city, he expected the city to bear the costs of redeveloping the site, which would require addressing the environmental issues and perhaps demolishing some or all of the buildings. He added that he was reluctant even to spend the funds included in the capital budget for an environmental assessment. “I would think that would be the city’s responsibility,” he said.

Lahey said that he was pleased with the outcome, which offered the city an opportunity to control the future of the property. On the other hand, he readily acknowledged that no formal proposal could be presented to the city until several difficult outstanding issues with the state are resolved.

Mariners beat Sox 5-4

BOSTON (AP) — Jason Vargas pitched seven solid innings and got his first victory of the season as the Seattle Mariners beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Friday night for their fourth straight win.

Jack Cust hit an RBI double in the seventh to give Seattle the lead as the Mariners roughed up reliever Bobby Jenks (1-2), who was booed after allowing two runs in the inning and giving up Boston’s one-run lead.

Vargas (1-2) gave up eight hits and four runs while striking out four and walking two.

Justin Smoak drove in two runs and Brandon League picked up his sixth save as the Mariners held the Red Sox hitless after the fourth inning.

Pats take a QB in 3rd round

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots have drafted quarterback Ryan Mallett of Arkansas with the 10th pick of the third round.

The Patriots have no immediate need for Mallett with Tom Brady still at the top of his game. But Mallett — who transferred from Michigan, which, of course, is Brady’s alma mater — was considered one of the best pure passers in the draft and some had projected him as a first-round pick.

At 6-feet-7 and 253 pounds, he won’t have much trouble seeing over pass rushers. But he has little running ability. In his last two seasons at Arkansas, he threw for 62 touchdowns.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 30, 2011— Page 13

Game off: Appeals court puts order lifting lockout on hold EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — A federal appeals court threw the NFL back into chaos late Friday, putting a judge’s order lifting the lockout on hold.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis granted the league’s request for a temporary stay of the injunction issued Monday that ended the 45-day lockout. Now arguments will be heard on whether that order should be overturned altogether.

The decision came as the second round of the NFL draft was getting under way, and it came on the very day players were allowed to return to their teams’

facilities. Dozens if not hundreds of players happily met with coaches, worked out and got a peek at their playbooks for the first time.

Will teams lock their doors again? That wasn’t clear late Friday.

“Our attorneys will review the decision, and we will advise the clubs as soon as possible on the next steps,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.

Some teams already were operating under the assumption that the lockout would be reinstated. The Vikings spent all Friday trying to get their first-round

LAURA from page one At home, Michaelis said that she watches movies.

“I wore out ‘Titanic’,” she remarked, adding that she also read the book and confesses to having a crush on Leonardo DeCaprio. She also enjoys musicals.

Apart from “Titanic,” she said she has been through the “Little House on the Prairie” series and “The Secret Garden.”

Her sister said that she once shared some children’s schoolwork with Michaelis and as she shuffled through the cards on which they had written suddenly declared “somebody ought to teach these kids to spell.”

Together with a dozen others she assembled what she calls “the Down Syndrome Team,” which gets together once a month for dinner, games, dancing and friendship. She said that one gentleman was uneasy about the name for the group, but “he’s coming around.”

Her sister assists with the grocery shopping, but with a microwave, Michaelis cooks her own meals. A regular at Weight Watchers, she said that she found the menu in the congregate dining room at Stafford House “a little high in starch.”

Michaelis has reached the measure of self-sufficiency she enjoys with support services provided

by Lakes Region Community Services. Through her individual services plan she has been tutored in the conventions of independent living. Her case manager, Pam, prepared a list of chores and tasks, which through repetition and reinforcement she has mastered to enable her to live successfully and safely in her own home. The agency provides her with

transportation and Pam is her companion when she walks and swims.

“It took me a good six-and-a-half years to stop hovering,” her sister said. “She has become very capable.”

Kelly said that the very success Michaelis has achieved places her at risk from the proposed budget cuts, since she receives relatively little support compared to many of the agency’s other clients. “She will be dropped because she is so capable,” she said. “With the cuts, Pam would go away and without that little bit of support, things will unravel. The services,” she continued, “reinforce the skills she has mastered and without the reinforcement, the skills will erode.”

Together with case management, Lakes Region Community Services provides Michaelis with 15 hours of service a week at a total annual cost $19,103.

Michaelis Gunther said that the loss of services is “a huge worry.” Like every family with a developmentally disabled relative, she said that she worries who will care for her sister when she no longer can. “Laura is the baby,” she said. “we are getting old.” By helping Michaelis thrive, her sister said, Lakes Region Community Services lessens the concern.”The agency provides a safety net,” she said.

Meanwhile, Michaelis is determined to look after her own best interests. Recently she renewed her participation in “Lakes Region Self-Advocates” and travelled to a conference in Indianapolis where at a series of workshops she learned how to champion her own cause. The group’s motto is “Speak for Yourself,” which will present no challenge to Michaelis.

draft pick, quarterback Christian Ponder, up to speed.

“When it was not a lockout, they were allowed to spend time here to get (playbooks),” vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman said. “Now that the lockout’s back in, he’ll probably be leaving here shortly.”

New Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak said he was disappointed.

“As coaches we just want to get to work and get the players in the building and get going forward.

Today was a positive day in that regard,” he said. “It was nice having the guys in and being able to see some of the guys who are in town.”

Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards, scheduled to become a free agent, put it simply on Twitter: “Looks like we’re unemployed again.”

The 2-1 decision from a panel of the 8th Circuit was issued by Judges Steven Colloton, Kermit Bye and Duane Benton. It included a lengthy dissent from Bye, who suggested temporary stays should be issued only in emergencies.

“The NFL has not persuaded me this is the type of emergency situation which justifies the grant of a temporary stay of the district court’s order pending our decision on a motion for a stay itself,” Bye wrote. “If we ultimately grant the motion for a stay, the NFL can easily re-establish its lockout.”

OBITUARY

Virginia ‘Ginny’ C. Royal, 91

LACONIA — Virginia “Ginny” C. (Hilliard) Royal, 91, of 86 Grant Street, died at the Lakes Region General Hospital on Friday, April 29, 2011. She was the widow of James Royal, a former mayor of the City of Laconia from 1967-1969, who died in 1989.

Ginny was born October 31, 1919 in Laconia, the daughter of Owen and Eva (Deware) Hilliard.

She joined older siblings, Eldon and Alice.

When she was two years old, her mother divorced and remarried Frank Keith. The family grew with eight more children. She had a wonderful childhood living on a farm in Sanbornton, N.H. Money was not abundant, but living a self-sufficient life on the farm with her large family provided her with many fond memories.

In 1945, as Russian troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun.

In 1968, New York City police forcibly removed student demonstrators occupying five buildings at Columbia University.

In 1973, President Richard M. Nixon announced the resignations of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, along with Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and White House counsel John Dean.

One year ago: Heavy winds and high tides complicated efforts to hold back oil from a blown-out BP-operated rig that threatened to coat bird and marine life in the Gulf of Mexico.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

How to sell your home in 2 days Home sales seem to be chugging along at a pace very similar to last year. There were 57 residential homes sold last month in the towns listed in this Lakes Region Market Report. The average sales price came in at $299,973 and the median sales price was $197,500. Last March there were 59 homes sold at an average price of $272,539 with a median of $220,000. For the first quarter this year, there have been 143 sales at an average price of $273,291 compared to 137 sold for the same period last year at $308,062. There were only three sales over the $1 million mark this year compared to six during the first quarter of 2010. Fifty percent of the total sales in both years were priced under the $200,000 mark. Things are, and have been, pretty consistent for some time, so it is safe to say that this is the new norm.

As I looked at data for the month, I noticed there were a number of pretty quick sales. Quick, as in only a couple of days. What makes a home sell so quickly? Often when a house is listed and sells that quickly it is because the listing agent already has a buyer in the wings, but not always. But you’d think they still must be pretty good deals. There were two homes in March that went under agreement in two days where the listing agent had both the buyer and the seller. One, at 66 Heights Road in Gilford was a three room, one bedroom, 672 square foot cottage built in 1920 on a .59 acre lot with beach rights. It

was listed at $98,500 with a current tax assessment of $101,003, and sold for $100,003. The extra $3.00 must have sealed the deal. The other quick deal was at 834 Moultonborough Neck Road. This was a Skiffington custom built, high quality, 3500 square foot cape with four bedrooms, three baths, four fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, custom kitchen, first floor master suite, and more.

But the likely thing that sold this home so quickly was the absolutely outstanding views of the lake. This outstanding property was offered at $899,000 and sold for $875,000 which is a bit above the current assessment of $772,700. It just goes to show that a great home with great views listed at a great price can sell in just a couple of days.

There was another two day deal done at 423 Liberty Hill Road in Gilford. This property consisted of two 24’ x 40’ season cottages with standing seam steel roofs.

These buildings are well built, totally open inside, and were used formerly as the Laconia Girls Club. The cottages sit on a private one acre lot at the top of Liberty Hill and have potential lake views. This property is currently assessed for $86,4000, was listed at $59,900 and sold for $60,000. I’m surprised it lasted that long.

Over in Moultonborough at 337 Long Point Road, a nearly new log cabin also found a buyer in just a couple days. This is an 1,878 square foot, three bedroom, two bath home built in 2006 on a nice .62 acre lot. It has the requisite stone fireplace in the living

room, a nice country kitchen, beautiful pine floors, a great farmer’s porch, and a two car garage. It looks like something Daniel Boone could only have dreamed about. The tax assessed value was $274,800. It was listed at $300,000 and sold for $300,000. The right price on the right house.

Then there is a home at 47 Bartlett Hill Road in Center Harbor that unfortunately took twice as long to sell. It was an older, 1974 vintage, 1,126 square foot, three bedroom ranch on 12 acres with 700 feet of road frontage. I suspect that the 12 acre lot was the driving force behind the four day life of this listing. It is assessed at $163,000, was listed at $135,000, and sold for $129,000.

Even waterfront sales can happen quickly. The home at 24 Bayview Drive in Belmont with 112 feet of shorefront on Lake Winnisquam took just five days to sell. No, I don’t know why it took so long. This charming ranch style home with three bedrooms, two baths, and 2,068 square feet of living space has been completely renovated and proved to be exactly what someone was looking for. While the current tax assessment is $419,400, it was listed at $549,900 and sold for $530,000.

The answer to the question as to why certain homes sell quickly is because the buyer can see true value in the property. It certainly helps if the property is below the $200,000 mark as most of the sales are occurring in that price bracket. But nice properties, when priced correctly, can sell just as quickly, too…

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, April 30, 2011— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Adults are supposed to set a good example, but I literally can’t go anywhere without seeing adults smoking.

That is not surprising because in West Virginia alone, more than one in four adults smoke. It is no wonder that across the country more than 3,500 kids will try their first cigarette today.

Thankfully, states across the U.S., including mine, are enacting laws to deter smoking, including implementing smokefree facilities, creating tobacco taxes and establishing tobaccoprevention programs. However, I know tobacco companies are still finding ways to hook kids on smoking.

I am not the kind of guy to just stand by when something bothers me, so for the past few years, I have worked with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, letting people in my town know that Big Tobacco is still targeting teens. We need to do more to pass state laws protecting kids and to send a message to tobacco companies that we know what they are doing.

One way your readers can get involved is by visiting www. tobaccofreekids.org to learn more about what is being done in their own state and how they can help. -- Zachary Morris, age 19, Smithers, W.V. Dear Zachary Morris: Bless you for taking on this lifesaving cause. We hope your letter will inspire others to become involved. Thank you on behalf of so many.

Dear Annie: When I was 5, I had to live with my dad and my stepmother, “Joann,” who was physically, emotionally and verbally abusive. After 12 years, I left to live with my biological mom.

My relationship with Joann has been tenuous at best. She didn’t bother to attend my high school or college graduations.

When I married, she not only refused to come, but tried to keep my father away, as well. The two of them have been absentee grandparents to my sons, their only grandchildren,

who are now 15 and 20.

Joann decided to retire early, which meant they wanted money from my siblings and me every month. My husband said absolutely not. Since then they have quit calling, and I haven’t spoken to them in eight months. She recently told my brother that I called and yelled at her, which is completely untrue.

I’ve had a couple of minor health scares recently. I’m tired of trying to please these two utterly self-centered people. I do not feel like extending the “olive branch” yet again, but part of me feels guilty because they are getting older. What would you do? -- Fed Up with Family Dear Fed Up: Extending an olive branch doesn’t mean handing out cash. If the only thing your father values in this relationship is money, we don’t see the point. Since you apparently still want some type of contact with your father, however, we recommend you take the finances off the table.

Call Dad if you like. Send chatty letters and e-mails with updated family news, and expect nothing in return. You will be an attentive daughter and will have no reason to feel guilty.

Dear Annie: This is for “L.W.,” whose son has bipolar disorder, a recognized mental health disorder. He is entitled to mental health care, which includes medication.

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act sought to ensure that people with mental health disorders get the same coverage from their insurance companies as those with physical disorders. Readers can contact the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (cms.gov/healthinsreformforconsume/04_thementalhealthparityact.asp) at 1-877-2672323 for more information. The son should be able to get help through his state’s Department of Mental Health. And his physician may also be able to offer referrals for help or resources. -- K in Massachusetts
