DRA objection to convention’s budget form said to be only cosmetic BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) has returned as unacceptable the “Statement of County Appropriations and Revenues as Voted” submitted by the Belknap County Convention.
But the chair of the convention says the issues raised had to do with presentation and not substance and they have already been dealt with. In a letter to Rep. Jane Cormier (R-Alton), clerk of the convention, Stephen Hamilton of DRA said that the agency found that “what was
filed is not an official DRAissued Form,” explaining that “additional wording and other changes have been made to the DRA form.” Noting that “this was an oversight on the part of the convention and that a draft or other working copy was filed,” he said it could not be accepted and returned it.
Hamilton said the official form must be filed and advised that if it is not, the entries on what was filed would be transcribed to an official form and used to calculate the tax rate. The form, called an MS-42, has been at the center of the controversy between the consee COUNTY page 14

Obama offers support for NBA player who says he’s gay
WASHINGTON (AP) — A groundbreaking pronouncement from NBA veteran Jason Collins — “I’m gay” — reverberated Monday through Washington, generating accolades from lawmakers on Twitter and a supportive phone call from President Barack Obama. Hours after Collins disclosed his sexuality in an online article, Obama reached out by phone, expressing his support and telling Collins he was impressed by his courage, the White House said. Collins, 34, becomes the first active player in one of four major U.S. professional sports leagues to come out as gay. He has played for six teams in 12 seasons, including this past season with the Washington Wizards, and is now a free agent. Collins’ declaration in a first-person account posted on Sports Illustrated’s website garnered parsee GAY page 17

Tsaraev’s defense team adds superstar from Calif. BOSTON (AP) — The defense team representing the Boston Marathon bombing suspect got a major boost Monday with the addition of Judy Clarke, a San Diego lawyer who has managed to get life sentences instead of the death penalty for several high-profile clients, including the Unabomber and the gunman in the rampage that injured former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Clarke’s appointment was approved Monday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler.
Bowler denied, at least for now, a request from Miriam Conrad, the public defender of 19-year-old suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, to appoint a second death penalty lawyer — David Bruck, a professor at Washington and Lee University School of Law. Tsarnaev has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction during the April 15 marathon. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line. The suspect’s lawyers could renew their motion to appoint another death penalty
expert if he is indicted, the judge said. Clarke’s clients have included the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski; Susan Smith, who drowned her two children; Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph; and most recently Tucson, Ariz., shooter Jared Loughner. All received life sentences instead of the death penalty. Clarke has rarely spoken publicly about her work and did not return a call seeking comment Monday. However, at a speech Friday at a legal conference in Los Angesee DEFENSE page 17

Food and Drug Administration says it’s time to investigate their safety. The FDA’s new look at added caffeine and its effects on children and adolescents is in response to a caffeinated gum introduced this week by Wrigley. Called Alert Energy Gum, it promises “The right energy, right now.” The agency is already investigating the safety of energy drinks and energy shots, prompted by consumer reports of illness and death. Michael Taylor, FDA’s deputy commissioner of foods, said Monday that the only time FDA explicitly approved the added use of caffeine in a food or drink was in the 1950s for colas.

concerned about whether they have been adequately evaluated.” Taylor said the agency will look at the potential impact these “new and easy sources” of caffeine will have on children’s health and will take action if necessary. He said that he and other FDA officials have held meetings with some of the large food companies that have ventured into caffeinated products, including Mars Inc., of which Wrigley is a subsidiary. Wrigley and other companies adding caffeine to their products have labeled them as for adult use only. A spokeswoman for Wrigley, Denise M. Young, said the gum see CAFFEINE page 12

Hundreds line up to share their thoughts & prayers with Lily Johnson’s family By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The line of people joining Lilyanna Johnson’s family during calling hours on Saturday afternoon at St. James Episcopal Church queued around to Folsom Street with many of the mourners wearing her favorite colors — blue and purple. From firefighters in their formal attire to students and their families to motorcycle club members wearing their colors, people came from far and wide to pay tribute to the young girl whose life was cut short March 19 after she was struck by a car while she was on the Messer Street Bridge sidewalk. As part of the after-service at the Laconia Middle School where she was a student, a film featuring pictures of her with her family and friends was playing in the multi-purpose room. Mourners said quietly and in groups of three or four weeping silently and they watched the pictures of the bright and smiling young girl who friendship was lost in a mere instant. Others joined together in the cafeteria and outside on picnic tables quietly taking about their friend. Lily’s calling hours Saturday ended a rough week for the Laconia School District and the entire city who joined together to provide emotional and physical support for her family and friends. She played softball, basketball, volleyball and lacrosse for the Laconia Middle School. She was remembered by her friends and peers as a truly nice young lady who always had kind words for everyone. She was stuck by a car along with fellow middle schooler Allyssa Minor just after school got out on the Friday that begins the annual spring vacation week. Minor survived her injuries and is recovering at home. School Administrators kept the middle school open and many counselors, administrators and teachers joined young mourners and the parents as the tried to understand their recent loss. Mayor Mike Seymour and members of the Laconia City Council were among the mourners who were at

the church on Saturday. “We have come together in a way that I had hoped we would,” said Seymour speaking for the city government. He said he couldn’t say enough about the communal efforts of the Police Department, who were represented by Chief Chris Adams and Capt. Matt Canfield, the city, the School District, the Fire Department and the community who joined them in
mourning the city’s loss. Seymour also wanted to thank the Beane family of Wilkinson Beane Simineau Pauquette Funeral Home and Crematory for all their assistance to the city and the family. “It gives us encouragement when the chips are down,” he said. see CALLING HOURS page

The new normal “The new normal.” That phrase has been popularized during the last few years. It stems from the horror of “9-11” when terrorists brought down the World Trade Center buildings, killing more people than were killed when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941. The new normal indicates a change in lifestyle, of the adjustments to our awareness that become necessary to avoid possible harm. It means we are to be suspicious of those things that were routinely accepted as part of our daily life in the past. We are to be suspicious because of a person’s ethnicity, but we can’t openly say so because that would not be politically correct. Fear, which has always been the final motivator, now moves to the head of the line. Law abiding citizens in this country are not used to having fear as a primary motivator. We expect the “old normal” of shopping, dining out, going to school, visiting with friends, taking in a ball game, all to be devoid of our suspicions. But, in the “new normal”, we are to adjust our mindsets from what had been pleasant or routine, to fear, and therefore, suspicion. There’s more though. It seems like our “new normal”, includes blatantly calling others “liars”, or “pathological liars”. We claim others have made statements they never made because it suits our purpose to do so. We use language so foul that it causes the print media to scrap on-line commentary on the things others have written. We imply cowardice on the part of others in an effort to boast of our own manhood. We routinely put political party before country. We seek to invalidate the Constitution and the Bill of Rights because we think we’re smarter than the founders. And, we righteously cry foul if those of the other party reciprocate to our bias. We allow ourselves to be subservient to politicians who overstay their time in office because of their desire for the euphoria of power. We let tenured academicians indoctrinate rather that teach. We tolerate destroying the most innocent among us, but give little thought to the fact that we were allowed to live and weren’t destroyed in a similar manner. We watch as “success” is demonized as greed and we ignore the envy we perpetrate in doing so. We communicate through “social” media because it’s faceless and
indifferent to the emotions inherent in personal dialogue. We use 140 characters, a single “packet” of information, to remotely express a thought. We unproductively follow celebrities on Twitter for who knows why. We lose precious time standing in lines at airports watching as other are groped in search of myriad contraband items, perhaps something as dangerous as a bottle of shampoo. It matters not that it’s a seven year old girl or her seventy year old grandma in a wheelchair. You see, political correctness dictates a numerical statistic not necessarily the most suspicious. And our fear creates a previously unseen hypocrisy as we are fearful of offending a Muslim, but not a Christian or a Jew. We call an onbase massacre at Fort Hood, “workplace violence” because we fear offending those of the Muslim faith. And, we ignore the fact that soldiers and their families are slighted and denied benefits because we refuse to acknowledge the incident as an act of war. (http://abcnews.go.com/ Blotter/members-congress-demandobama-administration-classify-fthood/story?id=18493746) These “new normal” items represent victories for those who would try and destroy us; those in the west who value life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They claim victory each time they instill fear or have us change how we live our lives. The reputation of the United States as the most powerful nation in the world is shredded as two young men wreak havoc at the Boston Marathon. Innocent people are killed and scores of others are injured, suffering, and maimed for life. Two young men inflicting pain on a major metropolitan area, a state, and a nation. In addition to the physical pain and anguish, has anyone calculated the impact of lost revenues to businesses and lost wages to workers, or the impact such terror will have on the city of so many universities and first rate hospitals . . . how will the act change the way those institutions operate in a safe and secure manner, and at what cost? The “new normal” can be a step up, it doesn’t have to be a life of fear and suspicion. Maybe we can start by putting aside the negatives being hurled at each other and simply consider that the one you are trying to denigrate, may be the one you might need to come to your aid.

LETTERS I we don’t meet this challenge pay-as-you-throw will be reality To the editor, When Laconians voted in the tax cap, we decided that we wanted to explore alternative ways of solving our financial problems other than immediately hiking our tax rate. It has meant that tax bills have seen small increases in line with or below inflation rather than the double-digit increases in some of the years before the cap. Our councilors have worked hard and creatively to keep the city’s budget within the constraints of the cap. Now it is our turn. The decision of the council last Wednesday night to give mandatory recycling a try gives us the opportunity to prove that we are willing to do our part to help keep our taxes low. The council has been faced with the continually rising costs of getting rid of the city’s garbage. At the same time the State of N.H. has been “solving” its fiscal problems by telling the cities and towns they have to pay more. Unfortunately, the cities and towns have no choice in the matter. But we do have a choice regarding
trash. Though the costs have risen, we can control how much garbage we have to pay for by recycling more of it. Just like families reduce their electric bills by shutting off lights when they aren’t using them or reduce their heating costs by dialing down the thermostat a few degrees, so we need to reduce our disposal costs by recycling. Reducing our trash by recycling more of it is a win-win for all of us. It lowers costs, freeing up more money for the council to work with as they deal with bills they must pay, it keeps our taxes lower, and it’s a responsible approach to our environment. Moreover, with single stream recycling, it’s easy! If we don’t meet this challenge, Pay As You Throw (PAYT) will almost certainly come to our city. No other community has reached as acceptable level of recycling without PAYT. Last Wednesday evening our city council gave us the chance to be the first, to show other communities around us that we can meet this challenge. Let’s do it! Jenny Watson Laconia
You people can call it public tax money but you know it’s not To the editor, In response to Carlos Cardona’s letter of April 27: Thank you for the lesson in school board democracy. I’ve never served on a school board. But I know this, by law we have to send our school aged children to school. Many cannot afford to send their children to private schools. In your letter of April 24 you said, “parents have the right to send there kids to any school they wish.” That is indeed what this discussion is about. The law which both you and Sen. Hosmer seek to overturn has been a beginning to make that a reality to those of lesser means. As you and Sen. Hosmer would have it, this “right” is actually a privilege for those who can afford it. Most can’t. If you can’t and you cannot home school your options are to go to jail or send your children to a school which the U.S. Supreme Court has thrown God out of. When you throw God out; all kinds of evil moves in. I’ve seen the product of this illustrious school system and it’s not good. Here’s the thing: our schools train our future generation. The Education Tax Credit Program
is not a voucher program as you call it. It was crafted so that it is private donations that fund the scholarships so it’s not public money. The donating company gets a 85 percent tax credit. The truth is under this law that money never makes it into the tax system. Many people for good reason want to get out of the public school system. You people can call it tax money. It’s not. I haven’t seen the results of the vote but I’m guessing you can probably get the Education Tax Credit Program repealed, but it would be wise to leave it alone. For those who passed this Education Tax Credit Program legislation did us a good deed. The public school system can muddle by with less money if need be, but if we repeal this, it will be to our own hurt. God is indeed over all, that is not a debating point. Its just the way it is. If we continue to raise a Godless generation, 9/11, the Boston Marathon, you ain’t seen nothing yet. My hands are clean. I have put the warning out. John Demakowski Franklin
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 30, 2013 — Page 5
LETTERS Why should I subsidize the islanders? The library? Parks & Rec? To the editor, I am responding to an article appearing in Friday’s paper that caught my attention — one that should catch EVERY Gilford resident’s attention — entitled, “Gilford plans to increase trash hauler tipping fees in effort to trim taxpayer subsidy”. Let me first state that there are several items that, in my mind, are BASIC functions of a municipal society: police, fire, ambulance, roads and the maintenance thereof, and trash. Why? Because all of these items are beyond the ability of individual citizens. Speaking specifically to the topic of garbage — yes, there was a time when everyone had garbage disposals and small incinerators on their property, which took care of almost everything, and every town and city maintained its own landfill. Of course, those days are long behind us, thanks in no small part to environmental concerns and GOVERNMENT regulation. Thus, it only makes sense to handle this necessary task through the collective society, much like the other aforementioned basic public services. While it might seem on its face that the proposal to increase fees on haulers only affects SOME people, the reality is that EVERYBODY generates trash, and this affects EVERYBODY. To claim otherwise is not true. This proposal will affect everyone in town, whether you receive curbside pickup, or use a dumpster located within town limits. Beyond this, however, is the more pertinent fact: this is a ploy by which the town will seek to raise our taxes without actually admitting it. Town Administrator Dunn is quoted in the article as saying, “In theory, people will pay more to their trash haulers and less in taxes.” RIGHT — if anybody believes that, I have a nice bridge in Brooklyn for sale that I’d LOVE to sell you! Perhaps that’s what the “theory” might be, but we all know what the REALITY is: Our taxes will stay the same, at best, but, as in most years, will probably go up — even if
it’s just a little. You see, what ending this so-called “subsidy” really means is that we, the hapless citizens of Gilford, will pay more for trash removal: a FEE, and the municipal budget will gain “as much as $100,000 during the balance of the 2013 budget year” to spend on something else. Does anybody believe that by shifting this “subsidy” off budget that our taxes will go DOWN? This just gives them cover to INCREASE spending in some other area of the budget. Oh, and if paying for a basic municipal service like trash tipping is a “subsidy,” what does that make the paying of, oh, say health insurance for town employees? Do we not “subsidize” THAT? I have a great idea — if we want to “save” much more than a hundred grand of taxpayer monies, how about if we eliminate the school superintendent’s position as decided by several votes of the people? Why must I continue to “subsidize” that particular job when I neither send students to the school from my home OR my business? In fact, if we start applying Mr. Dunn’s logic as used in this instance, one could make a case for ending MANY “subsidies” here in town. The Glendale Docks? I don’t own a boat. Why should I “subsidize” those? Dittos for the town-supplied dumpsters there. Why should I “subsidize” the islanders? The library? I have NEVER checked out anything from there. (I refuse to encourage them.) I prefer to PURCHASE the books I read. Parks and Rec? If I want to hike, or go to a Red Sox game, I’ll do it on my own. My point is, do we really need to go down that road? What ISN’T a “subsidy” within our budget? I ask my fellow residents to join me in attending the public hearing on May 8th and tell the Selectmen “NO. We don’t need a hidden tax increase. We already pay enough!” Doug Lambert Gilford
Blue Loon Transit able to gain funding support from 10 towns To the editor, I am you eyes, ears and contact for Carroll County’s Blue Loon Transit. Do you have a story to tell regarding how much you have come to appreciate the services that have been provided to you? Would you or your group like to know more about what is now available, how to use it, and what else is coming? Call me at 1-888-997-2020, X16, Carroll County Transit. I have been involved with this evolving public transportation system from its inception and have been chairman of TCCAP’s Transportation Action Committee for most of this time. TCCAP recognized the need for representation in our county. I have been working diligently with Bev Raymond, TCCAP Director of Transportation and other committee members to put in place a source of information to spread the word to everyone on how they can successfully use this very valuable service. This public transportation system is designed to provide mobility for all those in need of transportation, not only the elderly or disabled, but it is for anyone
medical appointments. We have a short video available on the TI-TV.com website that I recommend all municipalities link to on their websites, providing valuable information on the Blue Loon buses. If you would like more information about the service give me a call. In our recent campaign for town funding we were successful in gaining support from the 10 towns that put us on their budgets or through warrant article petitions. Thank you for your support it is truly appreciated. Some of the more than 6000 riders could have lost their means of mobility, had we not been this successful. However, there are two towns who’s residents are unfortunately going to loose their service by the end of June. We were unable to gain enough signatures to get the warrant article on the ballot, so Bartlett and Freedom service area will be eliminated unless like last year, private donors are willing to bridge the gap contributing $3,000. Hopefully, we can be successful for them next year. Jack Rose Carroll County Public Transportation

26MVS081_401k_RolloverAd_ShawnAdjutant_5x6_65_ah.pdf 1 3/20/13 4:30 PM
To the editor, Recently I wrote about the endless cycle of broken promises Democrats have made for the past 75 years to bring equality to the people whose best interests they forever claim to represent. The newest donkey EQUALITY “claptraption” is Obamacare — SIX NOVELS worth of rules/regulations that tie the health care industry and employers up in knots with waivers, pardons, exceptions, fines, jail time and NEW TAXES by the bucket full. We all wanted health care changed because it was TOO EXPENSIVE. Even Obama admits his plan will do nothing to help that issue. Experts are predicting strong price increases in not only care but insurance. Before long you will be wishing for the good old pre Obamacare days when health care was cheap by comparison. THE TEN CERTAIN OUTCOMES FROM OBAMA CARE 1. It will NOT produce equality in health care in America any better than any other “donkey dream” has ever improved equality. 2. It WILL produce a FORMAL, two tier heath care system between rich and poor. Identical to Europe where the wealthy pay retainer fees for no wait access and higher skilled care than all others get. It has been laughingly said pets in Europe get faster service and higher quality care than humans. 3. It WILL dramatically increase health care costs for the MIDDLE CLASS, who who will pay 98 percent of the expenses for 30 million freebies.
4. It WILL make health care less available than it has ever been in history. 5. It WILL produce less medical discovery and invention than we have experienced in the past 100 years because of new and excess taxation. 6. It WILL produce a health care system that works an 8 to 5 “shift employee” mentality, over-regulated, excessively monitored, aggressively taxed and likely to become unionized to assure high costs combined handcuffed to poor productivity are with us forever. The same EXACT issues that characterize the failure of macro education. 7. A $95 penalty will not force EVEN ONE HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL to buy health insurance. 8. Millions of people will buy insurance on their way to the hospital for surgery knowing they can not be declined — screwing all the other policy holders. 9. Within 10 years, only handful of health care providers will be left in America. Obamacare will produce the same risks in health care we have with banks. A tiny percent so large they control the industry. The disintegration of health care has already begun. Every small health provider is selling out to someone larger because they can not pay for costs of compliance and make a profit. We will have a WAL-MARTS of health care. 10. Obamacare will go BANKRUPT. It is not a question of “If” only “ when”. All Democratic ideas end just one place, BANKRUPTCY. You want the list? Tony Boutin Gilford

To the editor, “Then what happens” is a classic program-planning technique. If we do X, then what happens and then, after that, what happens? Combined with Murphy’s law of the universe (“Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong”), the then-what-happens question is a power tool for achieving goals and avoiding bad stuff. As with all power tools, however, one can amputate a limb with clumsy application. Gun control is about as complex and emotional as an issue gets. The complexity makes it an ideal candidate for a then-what-happens analysis, particularly in the political arena. The emotionalism tends to skew the logic. In the last few weeks, Democrats have publicly applied the technique and used their findings to comfort themselves and assure supporters. Are they are on to something or just severing arms and legs? Prevailing Democratic wisdom is the Republicans are playing the fool. With a huge majority of the American people favoring universal background checks as well as controls on the sale of semi-automatic weapons and paraphernalia, Republicans worked openly and successfully to ensure none of it came to a vote. The Democrats are using every opportunity to ensure the American people are aware of this Republican “treachery.” They are practically giddy with their then-what-happens analysis: If you blatantly defy the wishes
of 90 percent of the American people then you lose the next election. Superficially, the conclusion appears reasonable, but the rationale is demonstrably inane. They should know better. On election night just six months ago, Republicans — notably Karl Rove and Dick Morris — applied similar egg-on-your-face logic in front of the whole country on live television. From national polling data, they emphatically championed their prediction Mitt Romney would win in a rout even as reality was overwhelming them. Now the Democrats are reveling in the belief national polling data predict the results of 33 state elections (Senate seats) and 435 district elections (House seats) a year and a half from now. (Note: Two of the House seats and one of the Senate seats up for grabs belong to the people of New Hampshire.) Nate Silver — political statistician par excellence — correctly predicted the outcome of every presidential contest in 2012. He did so by analyzing poll data state by state. He says, “Punditry is fundamentally useless.” As long as “expert opinion” is an expression of preference supported by sophomoric assessment and cherry-picked data, he is probably right. Democrats might want to reframe their then-what-happens query. Something like this may capture a semblance of reality: — If the country is gerrymandered see next page

Expanding the WOW Trail, a marathon endeavor Soon after signing on as Executive Director of the WOW Trail, I joined thousands of runners in Hopkinton for the start of the Boston Marathon. The magnitude of both events was not lost on me. The vision for the WOW Trail is grand — build a nine mile recreational path through the City of Laconia as a part of the regional Winnipesaukee Trail that will connect Meredith to Franklin. Turning this vision into a reality will be a challenge. Likewise, running 26.2 miles is sort of a daunting task, too. Having completed the first goal, my sights are now firmly set on the second. And, while the project is different, the process remains the same. Preparation is important. Let a plan be your guide. Just as a runner follows a training plan, our process for designing, fundraising, building, and maintaining the WOW Trail is clearly defined. Our efforts today are focused on extending the rail from behind the Laconia Public Library at North Main Street, to the Belmont town line. We are currently in the preliminary design phase of this section and look forward to sharing these plans, and the fundraising efforts that go along with them, in the months ahead. Be flexible. Injuries, illness, and crazy New England weather are but a few things that interrupt even the best laid marathon training plans. Similarly, we will do our best to complete the WOW Trail as planned, and as soon as possible, understanding that circumstances beyond our control may dictate changes along the way. Not everyone will understand your goal. Let’s face it, not everyone thinks that running one mile is fun, let alone 26.2 miles. Likewise, some folks are not as thrilled about building recreational trails as we are. Let’s talk about this. A healthy dialogue will help us understand each other’s point of view. Ask for help. Friends and family are essential to achieving your goal. Just as the support of family and friends is important to any runner, the WOW Trail’s dedicated Board of from preceding page to your disadvantage; — If corporate wealth is arrayed against you; — If historic patterns — the party in the White House loses seats in a midterm — belie your aspirations; — If voter suppression laws continue to proliferate (NH has one); and — If apathy endures among noncause voters in an off-year election; — Then, what happens? Gerrymandering is fait accompli and set for the next decade. Corpo-
Directors, volunteers, and financial supporters are the lifeblood of our organization. Their contributions resulted in the successful completion of the first section of the WOW Trail, and will lead us moving forward. We must raise a significant amount of money and expand our family of supporters to achieve success. Please consider joining us. Use the WOW Trail. Share your support of the Trail with local and state representatives. Volunteer your time. Make a donation. Participate in an upcoming fundraising event. Bring your dog to BOW WOW Fest on May 4th. Buy a ticket for the 10th Annual WOW Sweepstakes Ball on May 18th for a fun night out AND a chance to win $10,000! Participate in WOW Fest on September 14th. It’s a fun- filled event for the whole family featuring two bicycle challenges, 5k and 10K road races, a fun walk, a BBQ lunch, live music & kids activities. Join in the fun! We need your support. Carry on. It is worth it. The WOW Trail expansion will test our endurance. Let’s stay focused on the vision. Rail-trails offer safe and accessible routes for work and school commuting, promote activelifestyles for all ages, and stimulate local economies by increasing tourism and promoting access to local businesses. In fact, according to a recent Belknap Economic Development Council study, a completed WOW Trail will bring an estimated 152,000 users annually, with 38,000 coming from outside of the Lakes Region — generating nearly $1.8 million in new visitor spending. A completed WOW Trail will, indeed, contribute significantly to the vitality of our community. Let’s get moving and make this project a reality. I’m ready. Are you? See you on the Trail. (Gretchen Gandini is the Executive Director of the WOW Trail. She’d love to hear from you about the Trail and can be reached at kgandini@ metrocast.net. The WOW Trail is a not-for-profit 501 (c) 3 organization. For more information, please visit www.wowtrail.org.) rations are not about to support initiatives designed to suppress sales. Historical precedence is as it is. That leaves suppression and apathy, problems amenable to local toil, not national dancing. William Shakespeare summarized it nicely.

LETTERS Don’t compromise our security by turning greenbelt into Central Park To the editor, Mr. King, you are right in that I should have thought about services before I bought at South Down. I knew, as a private community, I would be paying for additional services, but never had any idea as to the extent that South Down and Long Bay subsidize the City of Laconia in actual dollars until after I moved in. Also to the extent that the city nickels and dimes us to death and actually costs us more money in the end. Every year since then, it has been one surprise after another. First it was being charged to use the dump where most everyone else gets free curbside pick-up. The town I came from in N.H., most people used the dump, including recycling, but it was free to use. Everyone was treated the same. You had to recycle or you couldn’t use the dump, period! There was no free curbside pick-up. At least Laconia is starting to force the recycling issue. Then if we want police patrols, SD has to pay. Next there are people from all over town coming to our small private beach and using our facilities. Maybe even some of those kids walking along the tracks? Now we have to pay for beach monitors so our residents can use our own beach which we ourselves maintain. Then the WOW Trail comes along and wants to cross our pristine waterfront property (which we pay higher taxes for), erect a fence, limit our
access to boat usage in our marina and docks, tear through our beach club, turn our greenbelt into “Central Park” and compromise our security that we have to pay extra for. I have nothing against the WOW trail, just not coming through the property that I purchased and enjoy and reducing my values and costing me yet again more money to maintain than I originally thought when I purchased. On top of that, we at least were able to manage our own coverage requirements (or so we thought) until recently, when the city ZBA decided to get involved in our “private community”. They dragged out a recent variance for well over a year, pitted neighbor against neighbor, and again cost SD residents tens of thousands of dollars in legal expenses without having any clue of how our private community operates. “There when we don’t want you, not there when we do!” So stop with the petty criticisms of our community, because without our subsidy (revenues without the costs) Laconia city taxes would go way up based on the costs that are already incurred to support the non SD and LB areas. Just think, with all these other things going on, some people in the city couldn’t even be bothered with separating their own trash while getting free curbside pick-up! R.J. Robert South Down Laconia
For health care costs to go down someone’s income has to do same To the editor, As regular readers know, this newspaper publishes letters and opinions from across the political spectrum, and has been host to some vociferously different views. I believe, however, that we all might agree on the idea that it would be a highly desirable thing if the costs of health care were to come down. But we should realize that every dollar decrease in health care costs means that someone, somewhere in the health care universe loses a dollar of income. That’s not a political opinion; it’s a mathematical necessity. Someone takes a hit — maybe doctors, maybe hospitals, maybe Big Pharma, maybe insurance companies, maybe malpractice attorneys. Talking about lower health care costs gets universal agreement, but lowering health care incomes means someone gets upset.
Example: in Sunday’s Washington Post, there is an excellent article about a program in Doylestown, PA, which provides weekly visits by a nurse to elderly patients with chronic diseases. This program has improved patient health and made for a drastic decrease in hospital admissions and total health costs. Hospitals hate it. Medicare (NOT Obamacare) has cut off funding for this program, despite allowances for it and programs like it in current law and under Obamacare. Solving our health care dilemma means making choices about whose income suffers to achieve the savings. I think it is possible for people of differing political philosophies to have a practical discussion about this, but I don’t see a lot of it happening yet. Johan Andersen Gilford
28 dogs & cats were given their rabies shots at Saturday clinic in Bristol To the editor, The Bristol Lions Club held its annual rabies clinic at the Bristol Fire Department on Saturday, April 27. Dr. Steve Westland and his assistant Heather, along with Brooks and Cheyene, got the job done. Twenty eight dogs and cats were given their rabies shots. Some were a bit more cooperative than others but the bright, shiny day, along with Dr. Westland’s quiet manner, helped. As the firefighters were out on an emergency medical call and the station was locked, we improvised. Volunteer Dan Arsenault borrowed some chairs from Parkhurst’s.
chairs. Lions and volunteers included in the group were Paula Denning, Gerry Gagnon, Terry Phelps, Dan Arsenault and Joe Denning. Our Members and Volunteers filled out forms, held pets, and otherwise made the event a success. A great big thank you to Dr. Westland and the Bristol Veterinary Hospital, the Bristol Fire Department and Parkhursts for providing this valuable service to the community Most thanks go to those folks who brought their pets in to receive their rabies shots.

Big barn fire was just 1 of several in Laconia over weekend By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Three fires — including a two-alarm barn fire on White Oaks Road — kept city firefighters hopping throughout the weekend. Chief Ken Erickson said, along with numerous medical calls, the first fire was reported at 7:38 p.m. Saturday from 115 Winter St. Erickson said the fire started atop a stove in the kitchen but fire department response was delayed because the tenants tried to extinguish the blaze themselves. He said Lt. Lisa Baldini reported smoke coming from the building and called for a first alarm. Initial crews were were able to knocked the the bulk of the fire in the kitchen, although Erickson said there was heat and smoke damage throughout the house. He said firefighters initially had trouble getting into the home because the tenants typically use the basement walk-out cellar for a primary door and they couldn’t find the keys to the other doors. Next door neighbor Tom Tardif said he had just come home and within seconds heard people yelling that the house was on fire. He said he he heard the “snap, crackle and pop” and within minutes firefighters had arrived. The fire was out by 9:30 p.m. and the male occupant of the home was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for what Tardif said appeared to be breathing difficulties. Tardif and two of his neighbors went to Home Depot and bought 10 sheets of plywood so the house could be secured overnight. “That’s what neighbors do,” Tardif said yesterday. He said homeowner, Jeanne Bolduc, was working in Vermont and arrived in the city yesterday morning. Later that evening, firefighters were called to a substantial brush fire on the Weirs Boulevard. Erickson the the fire charred about a third of an acre near the Evergreen Condominiums. He said the Weirs Company and the Meredith Fire Department were able to extinguish the blaze that burned close to a garage and a boat. Erickson said they don’t know what caused the grass fire but it appeared to have started by the side of the road. At 1:10 p.m. Sunday firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire on White Oaks Road that leveled a huge barn and destroyed a number of pieces of landscaping and earth-moving equipment belonging to Lakeside Landscaping.

He said Laconia and other mutual fire aid companies were already responding to three other separate calls when the blaze was reported. A call for a propane leak in Laconia was handled by the TiltonNorthfield Fire Department during the barn fire. Describing the blaze as one of the more intense fires he had ever seen, Erickson said four pickups that were outside the barn burned and one of the glass windows in the nearby home melted from the heat. Multiple pieces of equipment and smaller recreational vehicles were destroyed. He said there were at least three separate explosions, likely cause by propane tanks, and the fire came dangerously close to burning a second barn that held horses. “It was a big, old barn with a truss attic,” he said. “Just bone-dry.” see next page

Fire at Ashland marina claims building & 20 boats By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
ASHLAND — The N.H. State Fire Marshal and the fire department continue to investigate the cause of a multi-alarm blaze that destroyed nearly 20 boats Sunday night. Chief Stephen Heath said the fire, reported at 10:29 p.m., at the Riveredge Marina melted boats and destroyed the boat house. He said there were four total boat storage houses and one office on the site but firefighters were able to contain the blaze to one boat house. He said all of the boats and the building were destroyed. Heath said there were a number explosions that could have been caused by fuel, fire extinguishers, batteries or anything that was pressurized. Heath said that some brush caught fire on the opposite side of the Squam River that is near “Little” Squam Lake on Route 25 (River Street) but was quickly extinguished by firefighters. He said the N.H. Fire Marshal’s office sent a team of investigators to Ashland yesterday and he said he expects one investigator to return today. The marina was not open Sunday although Heath said workers were there Saturday getting ready for STOCKS from page 2 Federated Investors, noting that the S&P 500 is up 12 percent since the start of 2013. “At the beginning of the year, I thought we were going to 1,660 (for the whole year). We’re only about 5 percent from that.” A pair of better economic reports gave investors some encouragement. Wages and spending rose in the U.S. last month, and pending home sales hit their highest level in three years. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 106.20 points to 14,818.75, up 0.7 percent. Microsoft and from preceding page He said firefighters got several calls about the dark smoke and he said Franklin firefighters said the smoke could be seen from Tilton while other responders said the plume of black smoke could be seen from New Hampton. He said city police and fire fighters are investigating the cause of the barn blaze. Erickson said the barn fire was at the end of a long drive way and, while he has pictures of the smoke plume, he asked that anyone with any other pictures to please send them to lfdchief@metrocast.net.

the upcoming boating season. He said about 40 firefighers were on hand for the two-alarm blaze and the departments had plenty of water and manpower to fight the fire and stop it from spreading to the other building. He said no one was injured. IBM were among the Dow’s best performers, rising more than 2 percent each. IBM, which rose $4.84 to $199.15, accounted for a third of the Dow’s increase. The index is just 46 points below its own record high of 14,865 reached on April 11. Tech’s popularity Monday was a change from earlier this month, when it lagged the rest of the market. Concerns about weak business spending and slower overseas sales have cast a shadow over big tech firms, said Marty Leclerc, the managing partner of Barrack Yard Advisors, an investment firm in Bryn Mawr, Pa. Revenue misses from IBM and other big tech companies have highlighted the industry’s vulnerability to the world economy. But Leclerc thinks tech companies with steady revenue and plenty of cash look appealing over the long term. Information technology stocks rose the most of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 on Monday, up 1.6 percent. Federated’s Orlando thinks tech stocks could continue to rally as investors shift money from companies that pay big dividends and have rallied recently -- utilities, healthcare and consumer staples. “They’ve been buying these companies, but four months into this year they’ve gotten expensive,” Orlando said.

GILFORD — A handyman was ordered held on $250 cash bail yesterday after allegedly failing to return a Gilford customer’s car for three days. He is charged with one count of unauthorized use of a propelled vehicle. Police affidavits said Jedediah Selke, 39, of 46 Fairview St. in Laconia asked the victim if he could borrow her car for the day. Since he had borrowed it before and she said he had done work for her on previous occasions without incident, she said it was okay. She told police she drove herself to work on the morning of April 23 and Selke took possession of her blue 2005 Hyundai Sonata. When he failed to pick her up from work at 4 p.m. she began to leave him voice mail messages telling him she didn’t intend for him to keep the car as long as he did. Two hours after he failed to pick her up from work, She notified Gilford
Police who also began calling Selke in an effort to get him to return the car. A Laconia police officer went to Selke’s home but his relatives said they hadn’t seen him. Sgt. Prosecutor Eric Bredbury said Laconia Police spotted the car at the Goodwill Store on Pleasant Street at 11:18 a.m. on April 25. They said they police found Selke inside the store with the car keys in his pocket. Gilford Police said he was taken into custody without incident and turned over to them in Laconia. Bredbury argued for $1,000 cash bail saying police records show Selke has numerous arrests and convictions in Arizona, Florida, New Mexico and Washington State. His most recent convictions, according to affidavits, were from 2011 and included possession of cocaine. — Gail Ober
CAFFEINE from page one is for “adults who are looking for foods with caffeine for energy” and each piece contains about 40 mg, or the equivalent amount found in half a cup of coffee. She said the company will work with FDA. “Millions of Americans consume caffeine responsibly and in moderation as part of their daily routines,” Young said. Food manufacturers have added caffeine to candy, nuts and other snack foods in recent years. Jelly Belly “Extreme Sport Beans,” for example, have 50 mg of caffeine in each 100-calorie pack, while Arma Energy Snx markets trail mix, chips and other products that have caffeine. Critics say it’s not enough for the companies to say they are marketing the products to adults when the caffeine is added to items like candy that are attractive to children. Major medical associations have warned that too much caffeine can be dangerous for children, who have less ability to process
the stimulant than adults. The American Academy of Pediatrics says caffeine has been linked to harmful effects on young people’s developing neurologic and cardiovascular systems. “Could caffeinated macaroni and cheese or breakfast cereal be next?” said Michael Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which wrote the FDA a letter concerned about the number of foods with added caffeine last year. “One serving of any of these foods isn’t likely to harm anyone. The concern is that it will be increasingly easy to consume caffeine throughout the day, sometimes unwittingly, as companies add caffeine to candies, nuts, snacks and other foods. “ Taylor said the agency would look at the added caffeine in its totality — while one product might not cause adverse effects, the increasing number of caffeinated products on the market, including drinks, could mean more adverse health effects for children.

State regulators end Belmont casino’s practice of awarding credit card balances to slot machine winners By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Officials of the New Hampshire Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission have shut down the operation of redemption slot machines at the Lakes Region Casino, claiming that in violation of the gaming laws prize winners were being awarded the equivalent of cash in the form of Visa gift cards. Rick Newman, general manager of the venue, which offers dining, entertainment and charitable gaming, said yesterday that more than a year ago, when the redemption slot machines were introduced, the commission raised no objections when he explained the operation. “We’d been doing it for 14 months before the commission told us we couldn’t do it,” he said. Redemption slot machines, found in what the law defines as “family entertainment centers,” including Funspot at Weirs Beach, operate with either coins or tokens.

He said one woman saw some debris and police found a plastic soda bottle that appeared to have exploded. He said the explosion happened very near the
Meredith Water Treatment plant and police are reviewing tapes from the plant. True said nobody was injured and the mailbox was damaged but not so that it couldn’t be fixed.

Ayotte to answer questions for an hour in Tilton today TILTON — U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte will host a town hall-style forum for constituents on early Tuesday evening at Winnisqaum Regional High School. The event is scheduled to run from 5 to 6 p.m.
The Republican from Nashua will make brief remarks about goings on in Washington and answer questions.
COUNTY from page one vention and Belknap County Commission over the 2013 county budget. The Republican majority of the convention has insisted that the convention possesses the authority to rewrite the budget proposed by the commission by adding or deleting, raising or lowering appropriations for particular line items. In the course of managing the budget, the commission may only move funds between lines with the approval of the executive committee of the convention. With equal resolve, the commissioners, on the strength of a legal opinion, claim that the authority of the convention is limited to itemizing appropriations in keeping with the MS-42 signed by the chair and clerk of the convention and submitted to the DRA. The MS-42 lists appropriations under 13
categories, encompassing departments and functions, and revenues under five categories. Within these categories, the commission contends it can distribute funds among different purposes without the approval of the convention as long as expenditures do not exceed the total appropriations of the particular categories. Following the adoption of the 2013 county budget in March, Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith), who chairs the convention, hand delivered the MS-42 to DRA, attaching a copy of line item budget voted by convention along with a copy of the draft minutes of the March 4 meeting where the vote was taken. For good measure, she typed on the form a note advising the DRA that by majority vote the convention adopted a line-item budget and required the commission to secure the written permission of the executive committee of the convention to transfer funds from one line to another. However, the wording of one line on the form was changed and words added to another line to the form. The line reading “executive” was changed to “administration” and the words “for Reg. of Deeds” were added to the line reading “other legal costs.” Over the objections of the commission, the convention appropriated $5,200 to fund legal fees incurred by the Register of Deeds in a dispute with the commissioners over compliance with the recommendations of the independent audits. The commission refused to pay the fees while convention created a line item to fund them. Worsman said yesterday that a corrected MS-42 see next page
from preceding page lature banned the use of “gambling machines” to play sweepstakes or games of chance, which returned money or anything that could be exchanged for money, including cash equivalents, debit cards and merchandise credit cards. However, he notes that “family entertainment centers” with “redemption slot machines” are specifically exempted from the criminal statutes bearing on the illicit use of gambling machines.” “We complied with the commission and don’t expect any penalty,” said Newman. “It’s not a big part of our business and being shut down for a while had no real impact. We’re reopening the redemption slots tomorrow.”

CRUISE from page one themselves a month into the future, bypassing May, to welcome the summer tourism season. “I’m from here,” said Carla Horne, a member of the Meredith Selectboard. “This is my first day of summer.” The social and symbolic aspect of the invitationonly event has grown such that it has eclipsed the technical reason for its creation. The motorship began life in 1888 as the Chateaguay and was used on Vermont’s Lake Champlain before being rechristened and launched in Lake Winnipesaukee in 1940, replacing the 1872 side-wheeler that burned in 1939. The modern M/S Mount Washington is now treated to a pre-inspection that tests for safety concern about a week prior to the cruise. The only thing left for state regulators to observe during the shakedown is how the ship handles under power. Instead, the first voyage of the year has become an opportunity for the Cruise NH company to bring together all of the people who play a role in the ship’s operation. “We’re very fortunate to have fire, police, even town officials around the lake, who have always been there for us when we need them,” said Morash. He’s glad to know that fire and police chiefs are familiar with the vessel, should they ever need to respond to an on-board emergency. He also wants state legislators and municipal policy makers to be familiar with the ship when they make decisions that might affect the M/S Mount Washington’s operation. “When things come up in the state, dealing with tourism, I want them to know how important it is, not only to us, but the Lakes Region,” said Morash. Like many other tourism-related business located at Weirs Beach, Cruise NH has learned to survive through leaner times lately. The M/S Mount Washington’s first public cruise will be held on Mother’s Day. Morash said the boat is scheduled to make more than 400 trips around Lake Winnipesaukee this summer, welcoming, he expects, between 70,000 and 80,000 guests. That’s compared to 120,000 or more seen in years in the late 1980s. Chris Secord, a part-owner of Cruise NH, said the company is looking for ways to entice more ticket sales. One new strategy is a partnership with local hotels, such as the Naswa Resort and the Inns at Mill Falls, as well as several local motels, which will be able to sell cruise tickets at their check-in desk. Once patrons are aboard, Secord said they shouldn’t from preceding page has been filed. She said that DRA requested the typewritten note on the first form be replaced with a handwritten note so as to indicate that the explanation of the budget originated with the convention, not the agency. DRA also asked that the $10.9-million appropriated to the nursing be divided into three lines. But, Worsman said, DRA raised no objection to specifying that “other legal costs” were earmarked for the Register of Deeds.

have to wait in lines for as long, while boarding or disembarking, or when ordering drinks at the bar, thanks to efforts the company has made in expediting those processes. Even for Secord, though, the shakedown cruise is about more than a new season of ticket sales. “It’s the kickoff of boating season in New Hampshire. This is exciting for everyone in the Lakes Region.” Steward Woodworth has been on several Mount Washington shakedown cruises. The owner of Bizer Maps, which produces charts for lakes Winnisquam and Winnipesaukee, he’s no stranger to the waterbody. For him, the cruise is something of a social event, that’s what keeps him coming back. “A little of it is to schmooze around, see people that I know on the lake. Catch the lay of the lake, see what’s going on.” Ken Jones, Meredith fire chief, came to his first shakedown cruise a few years ago when he was new to town. Meredith includes several islands, and Jones said the unique vantage point of the Mount Washington’s deck allowed him to familiarize himself with his territory in a non-emergency situation. “It helped me learn my own turf,” he said. This year’s shakedown marked a decade of such cruises for Leo Glasheen, who volunteers as a Granite State Ambassador, consulting with visitors at places such as Manchester Airport about what they can do during their stay. About the ship, Glasheen said, “It is an icon for the Lakes Region, attracting tourism.” Whenever someone is looking for a way to experience the Lakes Region, Glasheen said a ride aboard the Mount Washington is on the “must do” list, as it provides a revealing look at life on Winnipesaukee. “This is like the jewel of the Lakes Region, this particular lake. You get to experience the mass of water, how the shorelines are dotted with beautiful homes,” and how the lake is enjoyed by swimmers, anglers and recreational boaters, he said. Deb Pendergast attended her first shakedown in 2005, shortly after she was hired as deputy chief of the Laconia Fire Department. She hasn’t missed one since. “It’s kind of a rite of spring, a nice event that see next page

LACONIA — Saturday was a very special birthday for 90-year-old Jim Zanes, who was feted at the Mt. Lebanon Masonic Lodge by his fellow Masons, friends and family. Zanes, dressed in his favorite University of New Hampshire T-shirt that he wears because his granddaughter is a student, was a nearly life-long Gilmanton resident until moving to Laconia after selling his land. Born in Laconia on Manchester Street, Zanes said he served in the U.S. Army at the Allied Force Headquarters on the Mediterranean Sea during WW II. He returned home the day after the Japanese surrendered and joined his family who had moved to Gilmanton in 1943. Back stateside, he said he found employment “doing anything that paid money” and eventually worked for both Scott and Williams and the Allen Rogers Co., from where he retired. He married a Dutch woman he met through being her pen pal and the two were married after she came to the United States for a visit. His only child June Garen, also of Gilmanton, said her mother died last year. Here parents were married 59 years. Once employed, he said he bought two Gilmanton wood lots — one with 125 acres for $600 and one with 60 acres for $200. He said he sold the “south 40” to enhance his retirement from preceding page that kicks off the boating season.” The boating season has already begun for her department, she noted, since the city’s fire boat has been put in and is ready to respond. “Of course, the fire department staff and the boat have a relationship, it’s nice that we get to be invited to this event.” In the wheelhouse, fleet captain and 23-year Cruise NH employee Leo O’Connor used a pair of binoculars to
when Route 140 crossed his land. “It was a baronial estate,” he said with a grin. “I can’t take it with me so I had to sell it.” Garen said her father loved being a Mason and was the Master of the Lodge in 1993. He quipped Saturday that at 18:30 Friday night he achieved the status of Exalted SAF or Senile Old Fart. Garen said Zanes was a life-long member of St. James Episcopal Church in Laconia and worked serving meals with the Masons for their Hands Across the Table mission. She said that although her father is unable to walk, the Masons come an take him out at least once every three or four weeks. “These folks have been just wonderful to him,” she said. When asked what kind of man her father is, Garen said if she had to sum him up in one work it would be “integrity.” “He never told a lie and if he couldn’t say anything good about some one he said nothing,” she said. Garen also said one of the life lessons she learned from her father was empathy and kindness. “He minds his own business and and he’s decent,” she said. ‘I’ve never known him to be unkind.” When asked what he would do for his 91th birthday, Zanes said he would probably be at the same place next year, cutting another cake for his friends and family scan the still waters ahead. At this time of year, shortly after the declaration of ice-out, the greatest hazard to boating is debris floating at or near the water’s surface. The 230-foot boat could have its propellers damaged by something as slight as a piece of scrap lumber. “I’ve seen telephone poles out here, sections of dock, bobhouses that were left out,” he said as a lost hockey stick passed on the starboard side.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 30, 2013— Page 17
DEFENSE from page 2 les, she talked about how she had been “sucked into the black hole, the vortex” of death penalty cases 18 years ago when she represented Smith. “I got a dose of understanding human behavior, and I learned what the death penalty does to us,” she said. “I don’t think it’s a secret that I oppose the death penalty.” Bruck has directed Washington and Lee’s death penalty defense clinic, the Virginia Capital Case Clearinghouse, since 2004. In other developments in the Boston case: — FBI agents visited the Rhode Island home of the in-laws of the suspect’s brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and carried away several bags. The brother was killed in a gun battle with police. Katherine Russell, Tsarnaev’s widow, has been staying at the North Kingstown home and did not speak to reporters as she left her attorneys’ office in Providence later in the day. Attorney Amato DeLuca says she’s doing everything she can to assist with the investigation. CALLING HOURS from page 3 Many School Board members also attended and volunteered for Saturday’s event. Principal Eric Johnson said Lily’s death makes us realize just how insignificant some things are when faced with a tragedy. He wanted to express his gratitude to the entire community for the help his teachers and counselors have gotten during the past week. He said he was grateful the tragedy occurred at a time when young students, some of who saw her get hit, were able to spend time with their parents and families who can help them understand what happened. School Board Chair Joe Cormier said this was one of the saddest weeks he’s had in his time on the School Board but said he was grateful and proud of how the community joined with the city to help during the past week. “We all see and appreciate each other and the things everyone has done for us,” Cormier said. LILY from page one Superintendent Bob Champlain later reported that highlights of the gathering included the reading of letter from 8th grader Allyssa Miner, who is home recovering from injuries she suffered in the same accident — the two girls were walking on the Messer Street Bridge when they were struck from behind by a passing SUV. Students were also treated to a pictorial show of Lily’s life, set to music. Champlin said all city residents should have the opportunity to view and listen to the tribute and noted that a link to a video would soon be posted on the School District website. (laconiaschool.org.). Mayor Michael Seymour proclaimed Monday “Purple & Blue Day” in the city in recognition of Lily’s favorite colors. The two colors were prominently displayed all over the gym. Assistant Principal Chris Ennis had the honor of reading Allyssa’s letter to her fellow students. Champlin also noted that Laconia Police and the Johnson family had moved the memorial students had been building to Lily on the bridge to a safer spot at the rear of the school. Plans are also underway to memorializing Lily’s short but full life in a more permanent way. Champlin said many good ideas have already been brought forth and that Assistant Superintendent Terri Forsten is coordinating the effort. Thoughts and questions may be addressed to her at tforsten@laconia. k12.nh.us. Champlin said the community fundraising effort to support the families of the two girls continues and is being coordinated by School Board member Stacie Sirois. She can be contacted at ssirois@laconia.k12.nh.us. “So tomorrow we’ll have a more normal day than today at LMS,” Champlin wrote to the greater school community on Monday. “All my experience and the research on crisis intervention in schools tells me we want to get back to our normal and healthy routine for all our young people. That said, I want to assure you that’well keep watching each student of offering any and all support as needed.”
GAY from page 2 lar attention from Democrats, many of whom have recently announced their support for gay marriage despite opposing it in the past. Obama announced his support last year during his re-election campaign. Organizing for Action, a grassroots group run by Obama loyalists that grew out of his 2012 re-election campaign, offered its support for Collins as well, writing to Collins on Twitter on Monday that the group’s supporters “stand with you today.” And first lady Michelle Obama chimed in on Twitter on Monday afternoon to applaud Collins. “So proud of you, Jason Collins! This is a huge step forward for our country. We’ve got your back!” the tweet read. It was signed “mo” — signifying that the first lady personally wrote the message. Former President Bill Clinton also voiced encouragement, releasing a statement that asks fans, NBA colleagues and the media to support and respect him. Clinton said he has known Collins since he attended Stanford University with his daughter Chelsea. Clinton said Collins’ announcement Monday is an
“important moment” for professional sports and the history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Collins is “a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek — to be able to be who we are, to do our work, to build families and to contribute to our communities,” Clinton said. “For so many members of the LGBT community, these simple goals remain elusive.” Chelsea Clinton also tweeted her support for Collins Monday, saying she was proud of her friend for having the strength and courage to be the first openly gay player in the NBA.. Earlier Monday, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Collins’ decision was another example of progress and evolution in the U.S. as Americans grow more accepting of gay rights and same-sex marriage. He said he hoped the 34-year-old center’s NBA colleagues will also offer support. “We view that as another example of the progress that has been made and the evolution that has been taking place in this country,” Carney said.

LACONIA — Tower Hill Tavern, located at 264 Lakeside Ave, The Weirs, will host the touring act Funktapuss on Saturday May 4 at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Funktapuss is a five-piece band with roots in traditional Soul, R&B, and James Brown-era funk, and is currently touring the nation in support of their original debut album. Their lineup of musicians, which draws directly from the lineage of great American funk musicians, includes: bassist Brian Vanderbeek (a protégé of Victor Wooten); keyboardist/saxophonist Ryan Tivey (student of Fred Lipsius from Blood, Sweat and Tears); drummer Chris Santos (Zach Deputy Band); Boston-area guitarist Tom Davis; and the celebrated Gospeltrained NYC vocalist Latez Crawley. Founder Brian “Beek” Vanderbeek founded Funktapuss in 2007 when he landed back in the states after a six-year deployment with the United States Navy. His active duty included several years in the Iraq War, and since returning home he’s committed
his work to making people celebrate life and “get down.” Heralded as a “touring machine” by one industry rep, Funktapuss’ stage show echoes the records of Maceo Parker, Parliament, Stevie Wonder, and Earth, Wind & Fire, while still incorporating the “fiery riffing of Zeppelin and Stevie Ray.” Their one-night stop at Weirs Beach comes amongst gigs in Boston, NYC, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Tower Hill Tavern is year-round establishment and currently produces regular shows of regional and national touring acts. Visit www.Towerhilltavern.com for show times.

International Film Series continues with ‘Miral’ May 6 at Laconia Library LACONIA — The Laconia Human Relations Committee in cooperation with the Laconia Public Library presents Miral on Monday, May 6 at 6:30 p.m at the Laconia Public Library. This is another in the International Film Series. Miral is a semi-autobiographical story about Hind Husseini, who works to establish an orphanage after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the creation of the state of Israel. She comes across 55 orphaned children in the street soon after particularly devastating fighting early in the violence between Palestine and Israel. She takes the children home to give them food and shelter. Within six months, 55 children have grown to almost 2,000, and the Dar Al-Tifel Institute was born. In 1978, at the age of 5, Miral was sent to the Institute by her father following her mother’s death. Brought up safely inside the Institute’s walls, she is naïve to the troubles that surround her. Then, at the age of 15, she is assigned to teach at a refugee camp. She finds herself torn between the reality of Palestinian refugees and Mama Hind’s belief that education is the road to peace. The Laconia International Film Series is open free to everyone. Informal discussion follows the film. Light snacks are provided. Feel free to bring a cushion for comfort in viewing the movie.

CHOOSING DENTAL IMPLANTS If you had a choice between a set of removable dentures or permanent replacement teeth that look and feel like your own, which would your choose? What if the replacement teeth would also allow you to speak and eat with comfort and confidence, offer you freedom from irksome clicks and wobbles, and say goodbye to messy pastes and glues? Dental implants are a durable and effective alternative to dentures, and are growing in popularity. The ideal candidate for implants is in good general and oral health, and has adequate bone to support the implant. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. Since they integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany conventional bridgework and dentures. One advantage to implants is that they can allow tooth replacement without relying on neighboring tooth for support, so this helps to protect and preserve these neighbors. The technology behind implant dentistry has matured, so it is now possible to deliver implant supported teeth with a high level of confidence in a positive outcome. Dr. Felt has more than 20 years of experience in placing and restoring dental implants. Ask about putting this technology to work for you. George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com

CONCORD — A month after the emerald ash borer was discovered in an ash tree by the Merrimack River, a survey of trees within a 3-mile perimeter has determined several more are infested with the insect. The emerald ash borer is an invasive beetle that attacks and kills ash trees, which account for about 4 percent of the total hardwood forest in New Hampshire. The Granite State is one of 19 states and two Canadian provinces dealing with infestations. Within days of the confirmation that the EAB was found, survey teams established a perimeter and began assessing its extent. “We’ve been surveying out to the 3-mile perimeter and we have found several infestations along the river,” said Kyle Lombard, entomologist with the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands. “That’s where the ash are and they are traveling with the ash.” The beetle has been found in Concord and Bow and its presence there affects all of Merrimack County. An emergency quarantine went into effect April 8, meaning that all species of ash and all hardwood firewood, as well as woodchips containing ash and
anything that could spread the emerald ash borer, cannot be moved outside of the county. Two informational meetings are set for May 2 at the New Hampshire Fire Academy, 98 Smokey Bear Blvd., Concord, from 1 to 3 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. At the meetings, representatives from the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food, the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development’s Division of Forests and Lands, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA APHIS PPQ) and the U.S. Forest Service will describe the emerald ash borer’s threat and the purpose and provisions of the quarantine. They will also answer questions and hear public comments about the quarantine. Feedback from the public will guide the state’s continuing response. The survey of the perimeter is expected to be completed by mid-May, at which time forestry officials will have information on the extent and how to deal with the infestation. “Once we have a good handle on where this is and see next page

MEREDITH — The League of NH Craftsmen Meredith Retail Gallery is hosting a springtime craft exhibition during the month of May – Return to Oz – a collaboration of work by various artists inspired by the Wizard of Oz. Visitors will see each artist’s interpretation of scenes and characters from the land over the rainbow, including flying monkeys, the Wicked Witch of the West, the Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and of course Dorothy (and her little dog, too) . The collection includes work by master craftsmen Jack Dokus (metal jewelry), Kathy Marx (paper mache), Jane Kaufman (Raku clay sculpture), and Ameee Sweet-McNamara (Soutache jewelry). On Saturday, May 4 the gallery will present al all-day Variety Basket Weaving workshop with Ray Lagasse that runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students can choose which kind of basket they would like to make from start to finish. Options include a garden basket, laundry basket, wool gathering basket, or a market basket. Full descriptions, dimensions, and pictures are available at the gallery. Students are encouraged to bring a lunch as the workshop runs a full 8 hours.
Tuition is $95 per student, and there is no additional materials fee. Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. On Sunday, May 5 Amee Sweet-McNamara will teach an afternoon class on Soutache & Bead Embroidery from 1-5 p.m. Working through a project that results in a pin that can also be worn as a pendant, this informative class covers all of the basic stitches required to begin coaxing beautiful braids into tantalizing textile jewelry. Students need to bring their own pair of sharp craft scissors, as well as a small desk lamp (if desired). Tuition is $45 per student, with an additional $30 materials fee to be paid to the instructor at the time of the class. Pre-registration is required. On Saturday, May 11 there will be a basket weaving demonstration with Alice Ogden from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. A juried League of NH Craftsmen member, Ogden created the League of NH Craftsmen’s 2013 Ornament, Woven in Winter, a miniature, woven black ash basket with a white oak handle and rim and embellished with a shimmery metallic ribbon so that the ornament can be hung on a tree or wreath.
LACONIA — High Range, is an energetic roots/ folk/bluegrass group featuring fiddler Ellen Carlson, will perform, at Pitman’s Freight Room Thursday, May 2 at 8 p.m. Ellen Carlson has been performing on fiddle for over thirty years and is dedicated to bringing the many forms of fiddle music to as many people as she can. High Range highlights original music with a mix of cover songs on guitar, upright bass, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and drums. Their song, “Leave This All Behind” (Kneeland/Jones) hit #1 on Music Choice for a week in July 24, 2004.
Lauded by critics from Portland to Nashville, Beyond the Foothills has received a coveted highlight review in Bluegrass Unlimited, the premier bluegrass journal. “The vocals are tight and true; the instrumental work impressive, the songs a pleasure to hear repeatedly,” raves reviewer Dave McCarty, adding “High Range has forged a tight, compelling ensemble sound that is highly musical and thoroughly entertaining.” Admission is $12, doors open at 7:30 p.m. and Pitman’s is a BYOB venue.
HOLDERNESS — Ellacoya Chaper #43, Order of the Eastern Star will begin another season of its famous bean suppers on May 4 starting at 5 p.m. at the Squam Valley Masonic building on Rt 3/25 at the Center Harbor/Holderness town line. For the past eight years the bean suppers, consisting of home baked beans, ham, casseroles, salads and pies, have satisfied residents and tourists to the Lakes Region. Suppers are held on the first Satur-
day of each month from May through November. Many arrive early to get a low numbered ticket and spend time visiting with friends before serving time. Cost is $7 for adults and children $3. In addition to supper, this year will feature the sale of the most recent edition of Ellacoya Chapter’s cookbook. The cookbook is 200 plus pages and sells for $10. Handmade items including pot holders, dishcloths and other items are available.
The Inter-Lakes Drama Club presenting Spring musical ‘13’ Saturday and Sunday High Range & Ellen Carlson at Pitman’s Thursday
MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes Drama Club is hard at work rehearsing for “13”, this spring’s musical production, on May 4-5. It’s the story of Evan Goldman, who, at the age of 12-and-a-half, is on the verge of heading into his teenage years and becoming a man. Unexpectedly, his parents get divorced, and he moves from New York City to a small town in Indiana. All he wants to do is make it through the school year, and invite the right kids from his new school to a big party celebrating his passage from boy to man. Easier said than done. The star quarterback is threatening to ruin his life...his only real friend won’t talk to him...the school geek is blackmailing him...and someone is spreading the nastiest rumors. It’s a hilarious grown-up look at growing up, with an energetic rock score from a Tony Award winning composer, Jason Robert Brown. ILHS Drama Advisor Pat Kelly says, “This is a modern musical, that people may not be familiar with, but the music is catchy, the characters are relatable, and most of us remember where we were in sixth grade.” Featured in the production are Tim Johnson, Teghan Kelly, Gage Wheeler, Bridie O’Connell, Victoria Jollimore, Diana Reidy, John Findlay, Tori Webster, Katherine Miller, Megan Reid, Alaina Duchin, Jordan Bresse, Jessica Terrio, Danielle Bliss, Josh Lorden, Ryan Welch and Zach Dunn. There are just two performances, Saturday night, May 4 at 7, and Sunday afternoon, May 5 at 2, at the Inter-Lakes Community Auditorium, Route 25 in Meredith. Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for students.
Bean supper season begins in Holderness on May 4

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mountain-goat side will be activated. Just because you don’t reach the highest peak today doesn’t mean your climb was in vain. The altitude you achieve now will help you with tomorrow’s climb. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People show and interpret affection differently. What you recognize as genuine caring might not register with another person. Through trial and error, you’ll figure out how best to communicate your love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you think of a certain person, conflicting emotions arise. To hold these tumultuous feelings inside takes complexity, intelligence and a deep soul. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 30). You are talented and powerful. Honor your many gifts by paying attention to those who do the work you don’t have to do. The efforts of outsiders allow you to grow and master your craft. By giving your loved ones what they need, you ensure your happy existence. Invest in a September vacation. Your love signs are Leo and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 8, 5, 6 and 9.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In those moments when your attention goes to problems (or problem people), you are ignoring successes (or helpful people). Progress will occur faster when you focus on what’s right in your world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Greater selfcontrol will be necessary in order to navigate today’s many temptations. The saving grace is that if you muster up the willpower, you’ll immediately be rewarded. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Yes, your responsibilities are many. But you don’t have to handle everything at once. Ordering your tasks by priority, size and timing will help you stave off negative thoughts and avoid feeling overwhelmed. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you ask people to do things that do not come naturally to them, the process will be a struggle for both of you. Observe the strengths of others, and align your requests accordingly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t underestimate how deeply people might fall in love with you. Your strange power over heartstrings is nothing to toy around with. It won’t be fun to be loved much more than you love. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s moral, and neither are all illegal acts immoral. Use your judgment and heed your conscience, as well as your gut feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll roll with what happens, not letting any single event deter you from your purpose. At the same time, you realize that it is more important to keep moving along than it is to arrive at any one destination. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Most vengeance is small-minded and shows a lack of character. Noble people are also merciful people. If there are exceptions to the rule, they are few and far between. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your natural passion sometimes presents itself in the form of anger. You can avoid getting angry, though, by removing yourself from situations that have the potential to make you blow your stack.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 30, 2013— Page 27
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, April 30, the 120th day of 2013. There are 245 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 30, 1973, President Richard Nixon announced the resignations of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and White House counsel John Dean, who was actually fired. On this date: In 1789, George Washington took office in New York as the first president of the United States. In 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for 60 million francs, the equivalent of about $15 million. In 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state of the Union. In 1863, the design of the Great Seal of the Confederate States of America was approved by the Confederate Congress. In 1900, engineer John Luther “Casey” Jones of the Illinois Central Railroad died in a train wreck near Vaughan, Miss., after staying at the controls in a successful effort to save the passengers. In 1938, a precursor to the cartoon character Bugs Bunny first appeared in the Warner Bros. animated short “Porky’s Hare Hunt.” In 1939, the New York World’s Fair officially opened with a ceremony that included an address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. 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 1983, blues singer and guitarist Muddy Waters died in Westmont, Ill., at age 68. In 1988, Gen. Manuel Noriega, waving a machete, vowed at a rally to keep fighting U.S. efforts to oust him as Panama’s military ruler. In 1993, top-ranked women’s tennis player Monica Seles was stabbed in the back during a match in Hamburg, Germany, by a man who described himself as a fan of second-ranked German player Steffi Graf. (The man, convicted of causing grievous bodily harm, was given a suspended sentence.) Ten years ago: International mediators presented Israeli and Palestinian leaders with a new Middle East “road map,” a U.S.-backed blueprint for ending 31 months of violence and establishing a Palestinian state. Mahmoud Abbas (mahkMOOD’ ah-BAHS’) took office as Palestinian prime minister. The U.S. Navy withdrew from its disputed Vieques bombing range in Puerto Rico, prompting celebrations by islanders. Five years ago: The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for a seventh straight time, reducing the federal funds rate a quarter-point to 2 percent. An avalanche in Italy’s northwestern Alps killed five French ski-mountaineers. One year ago: President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, meeting at the White House, decried aggressive acts from North Korea, including a recent failed rocket launch, and vowed to maintain a unified front against such provocations. A ferry carrying more than 300 people capsized in a river in northeast India, killing some 100 people and leaving about as many missing.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My boyfriend, “Jarrod,” has always been very anxious about social situations and has a hard time making friends. Since graduating from high school, he’s lost touch with the few people he considered friends and has become very isolated. Together with the stress of passing his college courses, he has spiraled into a serious depression. Jarrod constantly laments that he has no friends and that his family only wants him to get a job and move out. (They recently staged an intervention and referred to him as a “failure to launch.”) He thinks no one besides me would care if anything happened to him. He often states that he wishes everything would just end. I want Jarrod to see a doctor and get help, but he says the idea of talking to someone about his problems scares him and stresses him out even more. He’s convinced no one can help him. He thinks antidepressants would make him feel worse. When I suggest that a better sleep schedule, healthier eating habits and more exercise could help, he says he doesn’t care enough to try. How do I help him find the motivation to get the help he needs? I love him and am terrified that he’s just given up on life. -- Worried in the Mountains Dear Worried: Jarrod is depressed, but his unwillingness to get help prevents him from getting better and has become a burden on you. First, please understand that you are not responsible for his mental health, and you cannot help him without his cooperation. Tell him that one little step could make all the difference, and suggest he speak to a counselor at the college. Offer to go with him. You can notify the counseling office about Jarrod’s depression and ask them to check on him. We also recommend The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance.org). Dear Annie: My wife and I frequently drive her 80-some-
thing parents around. Here is the problem: From the time my father-in-law gets in the car until we reach our destination, he sings, whistles and hums. This grates on me like fingernails on a blackboard. I have tried turning up the radio, but he just increases his volume. I attempt conversation, but he only stops singing long enough to answer my question and then immediately resumes his serenade. I know if I were to ask him to stop, it would be the beginning of World War III. He has a bad temper and a short fuse. I get along with him fine otherwise, but I find this incredibly rude and increasingly unbearable. I try to avoid driving them, but our proximity and common gatherings make it hard. My wife seems oblivious. She has been subjected to this all her life. No one has ever had the gumption to poke this wasp nest with a stick. What can I do? -- Want Duct Tape Dear Want: You could try singing along at the top of your lungs. But really, we don’t think Dad does this deliberately to annoy you. It sounds like an ingrained habit. Either tolerate it, drive separate cars or ask your wife to drive while you listen to something else through a set of headphones. Dear Annie: If “Technically Impaired in New York” wishes to learn how to text, great, but she shouldn’t feel obligated to invest in this extra feature or spend time learning how to do it. My extremely techie children took the time to write oldfashioned postcards and handwritten letters to their grandmother, who greatly appreciated their consideration. I taught them that they should be deferring to her needs rather than the other way around. This important relationship of respect and special care has been remembered with great fondness since she passed away in 2011. -- Soon-to-Be Grandmother
