Artists & business community nurturing ‘creative economy’ By adaM drapcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Artists aren’t frequently included in discussions of the local tourism economy. But, according to Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce executive director Karmen Gifford, creative professionals and the products of their labors can highlight or commemorate a visitor’s time in the Lakes Region. Fostering the market for art,

she said, especially art produced locally and portraying Lakes Region subjects, would enhance tourists’ experiences in the Lakes Region while providing a stable source of revenue for the hundreds of artists living and working in central New Hampshire.

The Chamber, along with the Lakes Region Tourism Association and the Belknap Economic Development Council agree on that dynamic. To help further

that goal, the three organizations have partnered to organize what they’ve titled “Lakes Creative Economy,” an informal gathering of artists and entrepreneurs who could partner with them. They’ve begun holding roundtable discussions every three months, the third of which is scheduled for Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Onions Pub in Tilton. see arTiSTS page 11

Lawyer argues nondisclosure of probation violations by key witness cause for dropping heroin sale charge

Anyone for (cold & windy) tennis?

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Centrex Corporation of Amesbury, Massachusetts, a packaging and labeling firm owned by Diana Goodhue of Gilford, has purchased the commercial building at 151 Elm Street last occupied by Metz Communication Corporation, where it will move its operations by next month.

Goodhue, who acquired the firm through her previous marriage, said that for some 70 years the company has provided packaging solutions for commercial customers. Her son Randall Henshaw manages the day-today operations of the business.

The firm began in Topsfield, Massachusetts, moved to Amesbury, from there to Londonderry, New Hampshire and then back to Amesbury, where it rents space.

“It will be a lot cheaper to operate here,” Goodhue said. “We will own for less than we rent see MiLL page 13

Roger Ebert, nation’s bestknown film critic dies at 70

CHICAGO (AP) — Roger Ebert had the most-watched thumb in Hollywood.

With a twist of his wrist, the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic rendered decisions that influenced a nation of moviegoers and could sometimes make or break a film.

The heavy-set writer in the horn-rimmed glasses teamed up on television with Gene Siskel to create a format for criticism that proved enormously appealing in its simplicity: uncomplicated reviews that were both intelligent and accessible and didn’t talk down to ordinary movie fans.

Ebert, film critic for the Chicago SunTimes since 1967, died Thursday at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, two days after announcing on his blog that he was undergoing radiation treatment for a recurrence of cancer.

He was 70.

“So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I’ll see you at the movies.”

Ebert wrote Tuesday on his blog.

New laws & rumors have ammo flying off U.S. store shelves ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gun enthusiasts fearful of new weapon controls and alarmed by rumors of government hoarding are buying bullets practically by the bushel, making it hard for stores nationwide to keep shelves stocked and even putting a pinch on some local law enforcement departments.

At a 24-hour Walmart in suburban Albany, the ammunition cabinet was three-fourths empty this week; sales clerks said customers must arrive before 9 the morning after a delivery to get what they want. A few miles

away, Dick’s Sporting Goods puts up a red rope after ammunition deliveries so buyers can line up early to get a number, averting races up the escalator to the gun counter.

Both stores are limiting ammunition purchases to three boxes a day.

In mid-January, two days after New York became the first state to toughen laws postNewtown, hunter and target shooter Mark Smith spent $250 to stockpile ammunition, including $43 for a brick of 500 .22-caliber bullets, commonly used for target shooting and hunting small game.

“I had a feeling there was going to be a huge ammunition shortage,” said Smith, browsing shotgun shells this week at Dick’s. “Especially .22s. It’s probably the most popular round out there.”

Likewise, the .223 ammunition used in popular semi-automatic rifles is hard to find.

At Hunter’s Haven, a strip-mall gun shop in the farming community of Rolesville, N.C., north of Raleigh, clerk Dean Turnage said ammunition is going out “as fast as we see AMMO page 13

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — The call from faculty members and politicians to oust top Rutgers University administrators grew louder Thursday, a day after men’s basketball coach Mike Rice was fired for mistreating players, shoving them and berating them with gay slurs.

More than 50 faculty members signed a letter calling for the dismissal of Athletic Director Tim Pernetti and an explanation from President Robert Barchi for why he didn’t fire Rice

last year when he learned of a video showing Rice’s behavior during practices.

State Senate President Stephen Sweeney also called for Pernetti to step down or be fired. He said Pernetti deserves credit for getting Rutgers into the Big Ten conference but mishandled this situation.

“This incident will continue to hang over Rutgers like a dark cloud for weeks, months and perhaps years to come,” the Democrat said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the number of faculty members calling for Barchi to step down more than doubled Thursday to 28.

The letter calling for Barchi’s resignation was sent to the university’s governing boards on Wednesday. In it, the faculty members cite Barchi’s “inexcusable handling of coach Mike Rice’s homophobic and misogynist abuse” of players, his “pattern of insensitivity and arrogance toward see RUTGERS page 14

Alabama Legislature votes to posthumously pardon ‘Scottsboro Boys’

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Opening a final chapter to one of the most important civil rights episodes in American history, Alabama lawmakers voted Thursday to allow posthumous pardons for the “Scottsboro Boys”: nine black teens who were

wrongly convicted of raping two white women more than 80 years ago.

The bill setting up a procedure to pardon the group must be signed by Gov. Robert Bentley to become law. He plans to study the legislation but has said he favors the

Scott Brown not ruling out move to N.H. & run for Senate against Shaheen

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 5, 2013— Page 3

NASHUA (AP) — Former Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Scott Brown says he’s not done with politics. And he’s not ruling out a run for office in New Hampshire.

Speaking in southern New Hampshire on Thursday, the Republican said the Granite State is “almost a second home” to him.

Asked whether he might challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in 2014, Brown said: “I’m not going to rule out anything right now.”

He made the comments after delivering the keynote address at a Nashua dinner commemorating the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death.

He said he’ll be speaking in New Hampshire four out of the next five weeks.

Brown has been out of politics since losing his reelection contest last fall to Democrat Elizabeth Warren.

He’s now working as a Fox News contributor.

New London police chief resigns after charge he bargained for nude photo

NEW LONDON, N.H. (AP) — The police chief in New London, N.H., has resigned after authorities say he told a woman he’d drop charges against her if she allowed him to photograph her nude.

The attorney general’s office said Thursday that it received a complaint about Chief David Seastrand on March 6 from a woman who had been arrested a few days earlier. The woman said Seastrand indicated the charges would be dropped if she allowed him to take nude pictures of her.

The attorney general’s said it will not bring charges against Seastrand, who agreed to resign and permanently relinquish his certification as a police officer.

The Concord Monitor reports that Seastrand, a 27-year veteran, told town officials Monday that he planned to retire later this month but did not give a reason.

U.S. unemployment aid applications jump to 385k WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid rose last week by 28,000, the third straight increase.

Weekly applications increased to a seasonally adjusted 385,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s the highest level since late November. The gain pushed the four-week average, a less volatile measure, to 354,250.

A Labor Department spokesman says the figures may have been affected by the Easter holiday. The department says the holiday’s timing varies from year to year, which makes it difficult to adjust for school closings and other seasonal factors that can alter the data.

Applications are a proxy for layoffs. They have declined steadily since November, pushing the average to a five-year low three weeks ago.

The recent increases could be a sign that companies are starting to cut jobs, possibly because of steep government spending cuts that began on March 1. Earlier reports this week suggested that companies may have slowed hiring this month after four months of strong job growth.

Economists said they wanted to see more data before concluding the job market’s trajectory had changed.

“We suspect the surge in the last two weeks reflects seasonal adjustment problems more than any fundamental change in the trend, but of course see UNEMPLOYMENT page 8

Wall Street hogs still running wild Wall Street is a beast. And proud of it! In fact, a pair of animals are the stock market’s longtime symbols: One is a snorting bull, representing surging stock prices; the other is a bear, representing a down market devouring stock value.

But I recently received a letter from a creative fellow named Charles saying that we need a third animal to depict the true nature of the Wall Street beast: a hog. Not just a little piggy, writes Charles — but a HOG, a really big one.

Yes! And we could name it “Jamie.”

Jamie Dimon — I mean the multimillionaire, silver-haired, goldentongued CEO of JPMorgan Chase, America’s biggest bank.

For years, Dimon has wallowed in the warm glow of America’s financial, political and media limelight, hailed as a paragon of sound management and banker ethics. He’s been publicly lauded by President Obama, celebrated by The New York Times and courted by leaders of both parties.

But, suddenly last summer, a big “oink” erupted from Chase, and Jamie’s inner hoggishness was revealed. It started when one of Chase’s investment arms went awry and lost $2 billion. At first, Dimon haughtily dismissed this as “a tempest in a teapot.” But the loss of investors’ money soon grew to a staggering $6 billion dollars.

Criminal probes began, investors squirmed, media coverage grew testy, and then came the revelation that took all the glitter off of Dimon.

On March 14, a U.S. Senate committee issued a scathing 300-page report documenting that the loss was not a mere “trade blunder” by Chase underlings, but the product of a systemic corporate culture of recklessness, greed and deception.

An internal e-mail from Jamie himself, with the words “I approve,” traced the stench all the way to the top. Not only did Dimon know what was going on, he enabled it.

JPMorgan’s mess stems from the same dangerous combo that rocked America’s financial system in 2007 and crashed our economy: ethical rot in executive suites, sycophantic politicians and reporters and willfully blind regulators. Meanwhile, Jamie is still Boss Hog at the giant bank and still drawing millions of dollars in annual pay and perks.

Also, only one week after the Senate report came out, he was even given a media award for best 2012 performance by a CEO facing a corporate crisis. E-I-E-I-O! For a better performance on containing banker narcissism, our lawmakers might look to Europe. I

know that it’s considered un-American to like anything those “nambypamby” European nations do, but still: Let’s hear it for the Swiss!

In a March 3 referendum, the mild-mannered, pacifist-minded Swiss people rose up and hammered their corporate executives who’ve been grabbing rip-off pay packages, despite having made massive financial messes. Two-thirds of voters emphatically shouted “yes” to a maverick ballot proposal requiring that shareholders be given the binding say on executive pay. Violators of the new rules would sacrifice up to six years of salary and face three years in jail. That’s hardly nambypamby.

Indeed, America’s lawmakers and regulators are the ones who’ve been squishy-soft on banksterism. Jamie is not the only one being coddled — none of the Wall Street titans whose greed wrecked our economy have even been pursued by the law, much less put in jail.

It’s no surprise, then, that those bankers have gone right back to scamming — and gleefully enriching themselves. Hardly a week goes by without another revelation of bigbank fraud, yet the banks simply pay an inconsequential fine and the culprits skate free.

Forget about too-big-to-fail, banks have become “too big to jail.” Our nation’s top prosecutor, Attorney General Eric Holder, recently conceded that finagling financial giants are being given a pass: “It does become difficult for us to prosecute them,” he told a Senate subcommittee, “when we are hit with indications that if we do prosecute — if we do bring a criminal charge — it will have a negative impact on the national economy.”

Meanwhile, just four giants — Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo — put nearly $20 million into last year’s elections, mostly to back Republicans promising to weaken the few feeble restraints we now have on banker thievery. With such Keystone Kops overseeing them, why would any Wall Streeter even think of going straight? Nothing will change until officials gut it up, go after lawless bankers and bust up the banks that are too big to exist.

LETTERS Partnership Alton Police has with community is invaluable To the editor, The two primary suspects in the strong-armed robbery and assault that occurred at TD Bank in Alton on November 28, 2012 have been convicted. Scott Prior pled guilty and will be serving 1 1/2 to 3 years in the New Hampshire State Prison. Justin Lavalley also pled guilty and will be serving 2 1/2 to 7 years in the New Hampshire State Prison.

Cpl. Dennis Orbino and K9 Officer Christian Johnson were the first responders to the incident. They were aided in their initial search for suspects by officers from the Gilford, Barnstead, and New Durham Police Departments. Due to some exceptional cooperation from a local business owner, Cpl. Orbino was able to obtain some video footage that proved to be crucial evidence in the case. Detective Jason Tremblay continued the investigation with skillful interviewing of witnesses and thoroughly following up on the myriad tips we received by the public. Det. Tremblay was able to effectively compile and develop all of this information to the point of identifying the persons responsible for these crimes, ultimately concluding with their convictions. The Belknap County

Attorneys Office did a great job seeing this case through the judicial system ending with a guilty plea. This case is an excellent demonstration of the interagency support the Alton Police Department receives from the listed agencies, as well as the abundant concern and assistance provided by our local citizens and business owners.

Violent crimes like these put a rural community like Alton on edge.

It is important to me that we respond quickly, using all of our resources, to resolve these crimes. I am pleased with all of the work my officers put into this case and commend them for a job well done. I appreciate all of the community support and assistance provided by residents and local businesses. The partnership our agency has with the Alton community is invaluable and I hope that the relationship continues to prosper as time goes on. We will continue to work hard serving the community, meanwhile sending a message to those unsavory individuals that Alton is not a community that will be victimized by crime and that we will work diligently to prevent it.

We’re committed to rebuilding our properties as soon as possible To the editor, To our many friends and customers and supporters: As many of you know, last week was a devastating week for us with two major fires occurring within days of each other. The first fire on Gilford Avenue was at our apartment building that was home to four families. Those families sadly lost their home and many of their belongings that night. The second fire destroyed the kitchen at Water Street Cafe, a business that we built in 1992 and a second home to our family.

We just want to say how grateful we are that nobody was hurt in either fire. We want to recognize the Laconia Fire Department and Lakes Region Mutual Aid for their quick response and efforts in both instances to keep the fire damage to a minimum. Thank you to the Laconia and Gilford Police

Departments. Thank you to the American Red Cross. We also want to thank the many of you who have reached out to us in one capacity or another offering your services, your support, your kind thoughts and words, your hands and hearts. We are humbled by the generosity of those who have recognized the impact this has had on our lives and those we serve. We are most grateful for the wonderful community in which we live and we are committed to rebuilding the properties as soon as possible.

Please continue to follow our progress on Facebook or at our website or even better stop by the restaurant and say hello as we are working hard to repair, rebuild and reopen.

LETTERS ‘I’m off to check my spoons ‘cause I hear they make people fat’

I see no reason to expect freedom we’ve enjoyed to continue

To the editor, Barbara Perry of Moultonborough actually said what all liberal progressives think when she wrote “I hate guns and I believe that the person who invented guns should be shot!” in her Letter to the Editor. She also went on to say “When the Constitution said an individual has a right to bear arms, they were talking about pistols and rifles not the assault weapons that are available today” which is not completely accurate. The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution was written to ensure each citizen of our country (THE MILITIA) could have military weapons to protect themselves, their state and their country. This is the reasoning for the ending statement that the right to bear arms shall never be infringed. In fact this was clarified in a Supreme Court Ruling in 1906 that said if people misuse guns then the answer is in punishing the wrongdoers and not infringing on the rights of all law abiding Americans.

What is also misleading is that assault weapons, by definition are small arms weapons like pistol and rifles that are capable of firing rounds in a fully automatic mode (machine gun) like the M-16, Thompson SubMachine Gun, Uzi or the M-60. Rifles capable of only firing semi-automatically (like the AR-15) are not considered “Assault Weapons”, regardless of what Diane Feinstein says. Machine Guns are already regulated by a federal tax that must be paid in order for someone to obtain a license to own one, which the Supreme Court ruled

To the editor, The book of Revelation was written to correct and strengthen the church and to show us “what must take place.” It shows us that the culmination of history is the opening, reading, and fulfilling of the Book of Life, actually it’s a scroll. One of the things we see in studying the book of Revelation is that there are seven drivers of history that have been bound up as with seals on this scroll. These drivers are released into the world in their time when Jesus opens their particular seal. When Jesus opens the first seal a rider on a white horse is released. He has a crown and a bow and he is sent out to conquer. This rider is the focus of this letter. He is easily seen throughout the historical period from shortly after the time of Christ, historically speaking, until very resent history. I believe we first see this rider with the conversion the Roman emperor Constantine and the vision in the sky that he had, of the cross, and the instructions written in it: “by this conquer.” With Constantine begins the succession of military victories won by nations of Christian cultures that ends with operation Iraqi freedom, all of which collectively this rider on the white horse represent. Some of the campaigns in this this succession are Charles Martel’s victory over the Umayyad Caliphate at the battle of Tours, the Northern Crusades, the exploration and conquest of the new world, the United States push westward that has been know manifest destiny and the United States victory over the Japanese in W.W. II. The American Revolution was but a parenthesis in this riders ride.

It is important for us to know where

not to be an infringement since it is a tax.

As to the part of her letter where she says “guns will never go away and the saddest part of this is that guns kill innocent men, women and children” I wanted to share the thoughts of someone in Connecticut who actually put this to the test. He says: “Yesterday I placed my shotgun on the front porch, gave it six shells and, noticing it had no legs placed it in a wheelchair to help it get around. While I was gone the mailman delivered my mail, the boy across the street picked up my yard, a girl walked her dog down the street and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near my house.After 10 hours I checked on the shotgun. It had not rolled outside and had not killed anyone in spite of the many opportunities that had been presented. Can you imagine how surprised I was, with all the hype about how dangerous guns are an how they kill people?

Either the killing is by people misusing guns or I’m in possession of the laziest gun in the world. Now I’m off to check my spoons because I hear they make people fat.”

Barbara, I hope this helps you to understand the meaning of the 2nd Amendment. I am not sure what punishment the Politically Correct Police in the Liberal Party will impose on you for your “Hate Speech” on the inventor of the gun, who I am quite certain died many centuries ago.

Greg Knytych New Hampton

we are in history, so as to know what is the proper response to the events of our time. I do believe that we have just ended an era. The American experiment founded on the conviction that God is not a respecter of persons, that God is a just God, and that government should reflect God’s concern for the individual has been a by-product of this rider’s ride. With the completion of this riders ride, which I believe has been terminated in operation Iraqi Freedom, I see no reason to expect that the freedom we have experienced as a consequence of the expansion of Christian culture world wide should continue; for the political philosophy that birthed our nation was from protestant Whig philosophers.

What to expect: Actual tolerance has been a Christian virtue; you will not see it any longer in the public sphere, only it’s counterfeit. Orwellian euphemisms will replace meaningful dialog and critical thinking. Consolidation of political power into the hands of a few, for according to the new wave of political philosophy which is now taking hold, only a few holding to “progressive” doctrine have the understanding to chart the course of our nation’s future. A new generation which does not understand what it takes to maintain liberty will support these.

Violent rebellion to restore what has been lost will not succeed for the for the first rider has completed his ride. Christians and men and women of moral conviction will find it necessary to choose civil disobedience and will be persecuted for doing so. Welcome to the End Times.

LETTERS 1st Sunday after Easter in N.H. recognized as Gold Star Mother’s Day To the editor, During the First World War, in May 1918, President Woodrow Wilson approved the suggestion of the Women’s Committee of National Defenses recommending that American women should wear a black band on the upper left arm adorned with a gold star. Each star representing a family member who had given his or her life for their country. President Woodrow Wilson first used the term “Gold Star Mother” in his letter to the Women’s Committee.

The mothers of New Hampshire’s fallen heroes have made the ultimate sacrifice for human freedom, and we owe them the most profound debt of gratitude. More than anyone, they bear the deep emotional burden and loss of those who have laid down their lives for the cause of liberty. New Hampshire owes these dignified and graceful mothers of freedom our deepest admiration and our promise that the sacrifice of their children will never be forgotten.

To assure that their children would not be forgotten, in 1999, Gov. Jeanne Shaheen signed into law RSA 4:13-h:

“Gold Star Mother’s Day” calling for ... the proper observance of the first Sunday after Easter which shall be known as Gold Star Mother’s Day recognizing and honoring all mothers who have lost sons or daughters while on duty in the United States armed forces. The governor shall urge the citizens of the state to observe this day with appropriate events...”

Each year, this observance is an opportunity to offer our solemn respect to Gold Star Mothers and renew our ongoing pledge that America will always remember those who died while wearing the uniform of the United States and forever honor their families’ sacrifice.

In the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944: “There is nothing adequate which anyone in any place can say to those who are entitled to display the gold star in their windows America lives in freedom because of the sacrifices of America’s finest citizens and of the mothers who raised them..”

Wind farms exempt from Migratory Bird Treaty Act & Protect Eagle Act To the editor, While the federal government aggressively pursues oil and gas companies for wildlife deaths, it often gives wind farm developers a pass. Is that fair? The wind sector has had an exemption from prosecution under two of America’s oldest wildlife-protection laws: the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Eagle Protection Act. But maybe this has nothing to do with killing and has everything to do with hunting. Knowing wind farms are spinning in bird migration paths — it raises a fair question as to whether developers have taken necessary steps to prevent bird migration through wind farms. What steps have they taken?

I believe that a state “take” permit is required in the state of New Hampshire if hunting. Would this apply to wind farms hunting birds? And

if so would the N.H. Fish and Game Department need to get involved in criminal activity if a bird or animal is hunted without a permit? Especially bald eagles — don’t they receive special protection under federal law?

Wind developers benefit from tax credits, are exempt from local and federal laws, are able to bypass all environmental and wildlife laws and to top it off they supersede government authority and dictate to politicians in the name of greed.... all of this is being done to feed investors oversees and to shuffle electricity to southern states.

In short — the kings and queens in Concord just decided what’s best for us peasant folk. Now all I ask is that you to keep an eye on what our kings and queens do with that new found money.

What hasn’t been discussed with PAYT is saving & care of environment To the editor, The barrier to implementing PayAs-You-Throw appears to have been resolved.

The city manager, mayor and council have all said they will remove $500,000 from the taxes that will equate to a savings to each taxpayer.

This will be built into the tax cap so that the savings will be moved forward permanently. Therefore, there will be NO double taxation.

Trash collection should be viewed as the same as a utility — water and electricity — you only pay for what you use, not what others use. Residents who are already recycling to the maximum will not be negatively impacted by PAYT. They will be, however, relieved of the burden of subsidizing residents who chose not to recycle.

PAYT will give each resident the freedom to choose how much they recycle and how much they throw away. If you recycle, you will not buy as many bags. If you don’t, you will pay for the cost of collection, transport, and disposal of your trash. The cost of a large trash bag is estimated at $1.75. Assuming one bag per week is used the daily cost is 25 cents. Most people could afford this.

One complaint was that tenants would not cooperate in the recycling program. Yet at the public meeting last fall, one tenant recycled extensively and had done so for years. Now that everyone would pay for what they don’t recycle, the motivation is higher.

We recycle about 80 percent of our trash. The only things we throw away are plastic wrap that clogs up the recycling machines and styrofoam.

Each week we have about five gallons of trash. If it was compacted it would

be much less. All food waste and wet paper products are composted in the back yard. The rest is recycled.

There have been probably about 50 responses from the community regarding opinions on recycling options; those for and those against. With the total number of registered voters in Laconia at 9,665, this may be too small a sample to get any definitive number of those for and those opposed.

What has not been discussed has been the saving and care of the environment. Our lifestyle is detrimental to land, water and air quality. We live in a throw away society. Our economic system depends on producing and consuming. This disposable process creates continued waste and trash.

Unless we develop a plan to recycle the waste, it won’t be long before we destroy our precious resources. Recycling is just one way to help preserve our environment.

Option #3 Mandatory Recycling at 25 percent recycling rate would save $11,700 in 2013 and a projected 10 year savings of $1,281,117 while PAYT at 30 percent recycling rate would save $156,000 in 2013 and a projected 10 year savings of $1,708,155.

In addition to the financial cost which had been a main objective to PAYT there could be an underlying issue. At the public hearing held in the fall of 2011 one speaker was irate at PAYT stating that he recycles now but if the city implements PAYT then he would not cooperate. Where is the concern for others, for the “community”, for the environment? As citizens we need to step up and make a decision for the greater good of everyone.

71% of all winter emergency calls were answered by one LFD vehicle To the editor, It was a busy winter in Laconia for the Fire Department. We responded to 1,163 emergency calls in the four-month period.

An average winter is 1,089 emergency calls. So this is a 9 percent jump in call volume. There were 425 simultaneous or back-to-back emergencies.

Response time to high-risk emergencies was 63 percent within four minutes and 80 percent within five minutes. These are very respectable response times. Seventy one percent of all calls were handled by one emergency vehicle (two firefighters); 18 percent required two vehicles (four or five firefighters); 11 percent of the calls required three or more vehicles, or the entire work group (eight or more firefighters).

There were nine major emergencies: three “all hands working”; four first alarms; one second alarm; and one third

alarm. For fires requiring suppression efforts we had a 75 percent control rate with the first alarm assignment. There were 33 fires in buildings, which is well above the average of 25 fires. Preliminary fire loss is $822,000 and $920,000 in property saved.

There were 22 high-risk, high-priority emergency medical patients.

Seventy two percent of all emergencies were in the central area of the city; 10 percent were in Lakeport; 10 percent were in the Weirs; 3 percent were in north Laconia; and 2 percent were in the south end.

The 11 a.m. time period was the busiest with 8 percent of all emergencies. 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. were all tied for second busiest hour.

Twenty-five percent of all emergencies were between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.

To the editor, Communities from coast to coast observe National Public Health Week every April, celebrating the work of public health and coming together in support of better health for all.

The value of a strong public health system is all around us — it’s in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the places where we all live, learn, work and play. It’s in the thousands of people whose lives are saved by seat belts, the young people who say “NO!” to tobacco and the children given a healthy start thanks to vaccines. These are examples public health’s return on investment.

Good health doesn’t happen by chance. Good health is shaped and nurtured — it’s connected to the environments in which we live, learn, work and play. Personal responsibility and better access to quality medical care play a critical role in our good health . But that’s not enough to turn around health care spending, curb disease rates and continue to move toward a healthier future. For example, while diabetes and obesity can be treated inside a doctor’s office, the costly and preventable conditions won’t be solved there. Tackling obesity and diabetes will take increasing access to affordable healthy foods; providing opportunities for physical activity in our community through smarter transportation and land use planning; educating the public on the science of nutrition, working with industry, schools and employers on common solutions; and collecting the data to see what works. These are the

roles of public health.

By adequately funding public health and prevention, we can transform a health system that’s now focused on treating illness to one focused on preventing disease and promoting wellness. And we all have a role to play. By taking small actions, we can help our communities, friends and families see the much larger benefits of prevention: Make just one positive change a day to improve your health. Small things such as eating healthy foods, engaging in regular physical activity, avoiding tobacco and staying up to date on vaccines can make a big difference in helping you live a longer, healthier life.

You have the power to make positive preventative changes in your community. Think about what your community needs most — more bike lanes, increased access to healthy foods, safer places to play outsidebrainstorm solutions. Tell others about your ideas and take action!

Please join our staff and our partners in our desire to better understand the health problems confronting our citizens and in the development of strategies to respond to the public health needs of our community. Visit our website (www.lrpph.org) and others to learn more about public health issues such as obesity prevention, emergency preparedness, healthy aging, family caregiving, substance abuse prevention, access to area services and other relevant public health issues. Here’s to your health!

To the editor, I went to Laconia High in the late 40s and early 50s. We just went from the 8th grade to the 9th Grade — just down the hall. We did not have any one hold our hands. Most of us turned out okay. Now it is going to take the principal one year to figure out which hand to hold. Of course our hands did not have cell phones, i Pads, smart phones, etc. If you got to the next class late you got marked late.

What is next, holding there hands when they go off to college? Dad just put me on a bus to college.

I was treated with professionalism and spirit by LRGH staff To the editor, I recently spent four days in Lakes Region General Hospital for a back problem. I have to say that I have never been anywhere to be treated with the professionalism and spirit that exists at LRGH. All of the staff were pleasant, professional and caring and all seemed to really enjoy their work as they smiled and were pleasant all the time. I also found the hospital food to be fully as good as the

local restaurants.

Following my time at LRGH I was set up with the Visiting Nurses in Meredith and found her to be as professional and efficient as the hospital staff. All of my care was done with efficiency and attention to detail that far exceeds any medical care I had had prior to this.

Thank you LRGH and thank you VNA. Harry Welch Meredith

UNEMPLOYMENT from page 3 that remains to be seen,” said Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, in a note to clients.

The government will issue the March employment report Friday.

Economists forecast that it will show employers added 195,000 jobs last

February’s total of 236,000.

Job growth has picked up in recent months. Employers added an average of 200,000 jobs per month from November through February. That’s nearly double the average from last spring. The gains helped lower the unemployment rate in February to a four-year low of 7.7 percent.

Local Democrats ‘yes’ & Republicans ‘no’ on budget that passed House on Wed.

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — When the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted on the 2014-2015 state budget and companion bill on Wednesday, the 18 members of the Belknap County Delegation divided strictly along party lines with the five Democrats voting in favor and the 13 Republicans against both bills, which carried by majorities of 194 to 172 and 193 to 166 respectively.

However, some county Republicans broke ranks over three of four amendments to House Bill 2, the companion bill, proposed by Republicans that would have transferred funds appropriated for uncompensated care payments to hospitals, including LRGHealthcare, to the general fund, where they would be reallocated to a variety of purposes.

The five county Democrats opposed all four amendments, which along with another dozen proposed by GOP lawmakers, were rejected by the full House.

Before the budget reached the House floor the New Hampshire Hospital Association (NHHA), whose largest members, LRGHealthcare among them, have gone without uncompensated care payments for the last two years, claimed that the inadequate appropriation for 2014 and 2015 threatened to leave them empty-handed again. The association urged House members to vote against the budget as

2 due in court today to face drug charges

LACONIA — Two Union Avenue residents will appear in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning and are facing charges of one count of possession of narcotics with intent to sell and one count of possession of narcotics — methamphetamine.

City police said after a lengthy investigation and the execution of a search warrant yesterday afternoon, police arrested Nicholas Phelps, 28, of 261 Union Ave. #3 and Courtney Rogers, 27, of 261 Union Ave. Apt 3.

Laconia Police said they executed a search warrant at their home and found 1 1/2 ounces of cocaine, a quantity of crack cocaine, about 100 oxycodone pills, some heroin and some methamphetamine.

— Gail Ober from preceding page Stronger economic growth this year has spurred more hiring. A steady housing recovery has boosted home construction and prices. Higher home prices make Americans feel wealthier, which can spur more spending.

In February, consumer spending rose by the most in five months. And consumer confidence improved in March from the previous month, according to a survey released last week by the University of Michigan.

Two reports Wednesday, however, suggested companies may have grown more cautious last month.

Services companies grew in March but at a slower pace than in February, according to the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group. Service firms, which include retailers, hotels, restaurants and financial companies, cut back on hiring and a measure of new orders fell.

And private employers added fewer jobs in March compared with February, according to payroll processor ADP. Construction firms didn’t add any positions after three months of strong gains.

Several economists lowered their forecasts for hiring in March after Wednesday’s reports. Still, many analysts cautioned that the ADP is not always an accurate predictor of the government’s more comprehensive figures.

Nearly 5.3 million people received unemployment aid in the week ended March 16, the latest data available. That’s about 170,000 fewer than the previous week.

wells as against the Republican amendments.

One Republican amendment proposed transferring $7 million from uncompensated care payments to spare the 10 counties an equivalent increase in the cost of long-term care for the elderly. All 13 Belknap County Republican lawmakers voted for the amendment.

Another amendment proposed transferring $13 million to reduce business taxes. Three Republicans — Representatives Don Flanders, a trustee of LRGHealthcare, and Frank Tilton of Laconia and Stephen Holmes of Alton — joined the the five Democrats in opposition.

The third amendment would have transferred $20 million to reduce the proposed increase in the tobacco tax from 30 cents to 20 cents. Again Flanders and Holmes joined the Democrats in voting no.

Five county Republicans — Representatives Flanders, Holmes and Tilton, together with Jane Corm-

ier of Alton and Bob Luther of Laconia — defected on the last amendment to transfer $7.2 million to fund the school building program, which failed to carry a majority of the county delegation.

The House Finance Committee reduced Governor Maggie Hassan’s recommended appropriation for uncompensated care by $32.9 million, from $197.3 million to $164.4 million. The payments are funded with the proceeds of the Medicaid Enhancement Tax (MET), which is levied against the net patient income of hospitals and matched dollar for dollar by the federal government, effectively doubling the appropriation. The committee also changed the order of priority for distributing the proceeds from the MET, relegating the hospitals to the bottom of the list, behind other Medicaid providers and the general fund. Altogether the amendments would have reduced funding for uncompensated care by another $47.2 million, to $117.2 million.

LRGHealthcare joins local ďŹ re departments in effort to get EMTs past higher test hurdle

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

FRANKLIN — New professional standards for mid-level EMTs have been adopted by the state of New Hampshire and yesterday the Fire Department celebrated five of their EMTs passing the test that examines the new proficiencies.

The five, including Chief Kevin LaChapelle and Dept. Fire Chief Robert Goodearl took a 30 hours course with the guidance of LRGHealthcare and Laconia Deputy Chief Sean Riley.

Riley is employed as head of emergency services by the Laconia Fire Department but his salary is paid by LRGHeathcare. A certified paramedic, he heads the health inspection and medical training for the department.

LRGH Media Director Natalie Rudzinskyj joined firefighters at the Franklin Station to explain how LRGHealthcare is committed to seeing all of the

area’s 150 mid-level EMTs reach the new certification level before the 2016 cutoff date.

She said LRGH purchased the text books and study guides for each person taking Riley’s class.

According to Riley, there are three classifications of EMTs in New Hampshire — A-EMTs that are first level or first responders; B-EMTs, that are the subject of the new, more stringent requirements and testing, and paramedics, which are the highest level of emergency responders. Each level has specific duties and levels of emergency medical services he or she can provide.

As it stands now, to become a B-EMT, a person needs 250 hours of instruction and a practicum. The new standards, which mostly involve the hard sciences of biology and chemistry, require an already certified B-EMT to take an additional 30 hours of classes plus about 90 hours of independent study. see next page

In February, LaPlante was arrested

by Gilford Polcie and charged with stealing cash and jewelry from a Lake Shore Road woman. Affidavits said had been a guest in her home. In the Gilford case, he said he sold the jewelry — that included a Tahitian pearl and gold — to a city pawn shop for $425.

After his appearance yesterday on the new charges, Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $5,000 cash unless he could be admitted to a residential drug treatment facility. Carroll also ruled that should LaPlante get into a program, he sign a waiver that allows the state to monitor his presence and that he get secure transport to and from the facility. After he completes a program, his bail will automatically revert to cash.

HEROIN from page one said had nothing to do with the case or her fellow jurors.

Atty. Mark Sisti claims the state “through its own lack of attentiveness and/or its failure to make notice of potential problems in a timely fashion has created a due process deficiency facing Mr. Gonzales.”

Gonzales is charged with selling heroin to a confidential informant who was working for the Laconia Police on August 23, 2012. According to court transcripts, she was at the time facing two felony robbery charges and a misdemeanor theft charge stemming from a Gilford incident at Walmart.

In exchange for her information and for taping a conversation with Gonzales, she was allowed to plead guilty to theft and she served six months in the Belknap County House of Corrections.

As to the recent request for a dismissal, Atty. Mark Sisti asked for it because the informant was given a hearing to discuss any possible testimony that could violate her right to self-incrimination after the second jury was seated on March 18 but before the trail was scheduled to begin on April 1.

In light of the violations that were for taking non-prescribed drugs after the first trial but before the second jury was picked, Sisti argues that the state should have made a motion to continue the case during the hearing

so both sides could sort out what they would do with the informant’s new infractions that also include a conviction for theft in the 6th Circuit Franklin Division on March 17.

The informant’s probation violation paperwork also includes mention that she is a suspect in an organized retail theft ring that is currently being investigated by the Gilford Police.

He said the prosecution and the informant’s probation officer knew of the probation violations “days if not months before the March 27, 2013 jury selection and April 1 (trial) date.”

Instead, the judge dismissed the jury and rescheduled the trial for June. Sisti argues the appropriate remedy would have been for the state to grant the informant immunity for her alleged violations because she had already asserted her Fifth Amendment, rights or to request a continuance when it learned of the informant’s alleged violation.

In the alternative, he has asked for discovery regarding the informant’s role into the Gilford theft case that is still in being investigated so he can use it as part of his defense of Gonzales.

In the interim, Gonzales is being held on $50,000 cash only bail in the Belknap County House of Corrections.

He also faces a second and separate charge of sales of heroin that resulted in the death of a young Laconia mother who overdosed in April of 2011.

ARTISTS from page one The goal of the discussion, Gifford said, is “to create a collaboration to support creative arts in the region.”

She said anyone is welcome to participate.

When Marcy Yerkes moved from Hilton Head, S. C. to Laconia 26 years ago, she had to reinvent herself in order to find work in the region. An

illustrator in South Carolina, she instead carved out a niche for herself as a muralist. Whether working for a private resident or a business or organization, she found that her New Hampshire clients wanted her to paint birch trees, New Hampshire animals and landscapes on their interior walls. “People want the outside in.

They want to warm up their homes,” she said.

Yerkes is now ready to reinvent herself for a third time, transitioning from murals to fine art, especially large canvasses that she’d like to paint for owners of large homes. She’s recently finished her first such piece, a triptych, or three-panel, work commissioned by a couple that owns a home overlooking Squam Lake. The clients wanted something to hang on a wall see next page

from preceding page Goodearl said he has passed the certification and while the studying and material was very difficult, he said it has made him a better EMT. He described the class as some “heavy lifting science” but said the people in Franklin took it very seriously and as a result most of them didn’t have any problems passing it.

LACONIA — A Belmont man faces new burglary charges stemming from a city police investigation into a January 26 break-in in the Weirs section of town.

Dean LaPlante, 19, of 29 Lamprey Road was taking a 59-inch television and about $50 in cash from an Endicott Street East home while the owner was at work.

Affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said the victim told police he returned home to find his window open, his drapes disheveled and his television and the cash missing.

Police they interviewed LaPlante and he told them he chose the house because he knew the victim was at work. He said he sold the television to a local pawn shop for $50 because he needed the money for drugs.

from preceding page tall, so each of Yerkes’s panels is five feet wide and seven feet tall. Another client has approached her to create something of a similar scale.

From her career as a muralist, Yerkes spent a lot of time on construction sites, often working alongside craftspeople. She’s been frustrated by the frequency with which she’s seen people hired from out-of-state to perform jobs that could be done by locals, often for the same or better quality and for a better rate.

“I’m not as expensive as the highfalutin artists in Boston,” Yerkes said.

The problem is, she said, that it’s difficult for seasonal or weekend residents to find the local talent.

Vynnie Hale, who last year added a gallery to his Meredith art supply shop VynnArt, noticed this gap in the market and so he decided to stock his gallery with only local artists. He made the decision as a way to support local producers — “it’s so hard for an artist to find a place to exhibit. I love our artists,” he said – but has since found it to be a sound business move. Many patrons, often seasonal residents looking to adorn their camp or tourists who would like to bring home something to remember their trip by, tell him, “this is just what I’ve been looking for.”

Hale said, “That’s what the tourists are looking for, local art.”

Specifically, he said, the art buyers who come into his gallery are looking for art made by a local person and depicting a local scene, especially one that the buyer has seen first-hand.

The style can be anything from photorealistic to abstract, said Hale. He has work from 40 artists hanging in his gallery and is proud to say that he’s sold artwork from almost every one of them.

Although there are prints available for as little as $25, most of his patrons will spend between $300 and $600. His best-selling artist is Laconia-based watercolorist Irene Goddu.

Goddu, a self-taught artist, has been painting fulltime since 1991. Because art is something that is difficult to sell online, she said galleries had been a critical way for artists to reach their market. However, “galleries have had a hard time over the past few years,” she noted.

Although sales of art might have dwindled in recent years, Goddu and Hale have begun to notice a recovery in the market this spring. Customers are returning and many artists never stopped producing. The challenge is for artists to get their art in front of those who might be tempted to purchase it.

Goddu is planning to attend art fairs, such as the Artists on the Green event in Sandwich on August 15 and the LRGHealthcare Auxiliary art and craft fair held on October 12 at Laconia High School.

“People want to have a personal connection with the artist,” she said.

They also want to have a personal connection with the art, it seems. That’s why Goddu thinks her prints and paintings have found their way into homes as far as England and other parts of the United Kingsee next page

Goodhue said that Centrex specializes in blister packaging, formed from plastic, and either packages products or forms packaging to the specifications of the customer.

Employment, Goodhue said, fluctuates between four and 12 with the volume of business. “We employ a lot of temps,” she explained. “We have some work to do, but we’ll be moving machinery soon and expect to be up and running by the end of the month.”

AMMO from page 2 can get it in,” even though new gun controls are not on the state’s agenda.

The run started in November with President Barack Obama’s re-election, followed by the mass shooting in December of children in Newtown, Conn., which led the president to launch an effort to strengthen federal gun controls and several states to tighten their laws.

Connecticut on Thursday became the latest to crack down as the governor signed a measure — effective immediately — that adds more than 100 firearms to the state’s assault weapons ban, creates a dangerous weapon offender registry and institutes eligibility rules for ammunition purchases.

Hours before the law took effect, hundreds of customers streamed out of Hoffman’s Gun Center in Newington with guns and boxes of ammunition.

“The bad guys are going to get guns,” said John Power, 56, of Bristol, arguing the new law would not stop a troubled gunman.

The nation’s 100 million firearms owners are driving the market for some 10 billion rounds annually, with demand and gun purchases both increasing the past several months, driven partly by fear that tougher laws will restrict the ability to buy firearms, said Lawrence Keane, whose National Shooting Sports Foundation is based in Newtown.

“There’s a concern by firearms owners that this administration will pursue bans on products, bans on ammunition. ... It’s not limited geographically to New York or anywhere else. It is nationwide,” he said.

EBERT from page 2 influence, Ebert considered himself “beneath everything else a fan.”

“I have seen untold numbers of movies and forgotten most of them, I hope, but I remember those worth remembering, and they are all on the same shelf in my mind,” Ebert wrote in his 2011 memoir titled “Life Itself.”

After cancer surgeries in 2006, Ebert lost portions of his jaw and the ability to eat, drink and speak.

But he went back to writing full time and eventually even returned to television. In addition to his work for the Sun-Times, he became a prolific user of social media, connecting with hundreds of thousands of fans on Facebook and Twitter.

email in January 2011. “What’s your choice? I have no pain. I enjoy life, and why should I complain?”

Always modest, Ebert had Midwestern charm but stuck strongly to his belief that critics honestly tell audiences “how better to invest two hours of their lives.”

On the air, Ebert and Siskel bickered like an old married couple and openly needled each other. To viewers who had trouble telling them apart, Ebert was known as the fat one with glasses, Siskel as the thin, bald one.

Ebert favored blue sweater vests and khakis. After his surgeries, he switched to black turtlenecks and white, film director-style scarves.

Joining the Sun-Times part-time in 1966, he pursued graduate study at the University of Chicago and got the reviewing job the following year.

His reviews were eventually syndicated to several hundred other newspapers, collected in books and repeated on innumerable websites, which would have made him one of the most influential film critics in the nation even without his television fame.

Ebert’s thumb — pointing up or down — was his trademark. It was the main logo of the long-running TV shows Ebert co-hosted, first with Siskel of the rival Chicago Tribune and — after Siskel’s death in 1999 — with Sun-Times colleague Richard Roeper.

A “two thumbs-up” accolade was sure to find its way into the advertising for the movie in question.

The nation’s best-known movie reviewer “wrote with passion through a real knowledge of film and film history, and in doing so, helped many movies find their audiences,” director Steven Spielberg said.

His death is “virtually the end of an era, and now the balcony is closed forever.”

In early 2011, Ebert launched a new show, “Ebert Presents At the Movies.” The show had new hosts and featured Ebert in his own segment, “Roger’s Office.” He used a chin prosthesis and enlisted voiceover guests or his computer to read his reviews.

Fans admired his courage, but Ebert told The Associated Press that bravery had “little to do with it.”

“You play the cards you’re dealt,” Ebert wrote in an

“My work is representative of a lot of local scenes that people relate to. I like to be able to bring that to people. When they look at my work, it brings back fond memories.”

And by rekindling those memories, perhaps the purchase of that piece of art will inspire a return visit to New Hampshire.

PARDON from page 2 all-white juries. All were eventually freed without executions. The case became synonymous with racial injustice and set important legal precedents, including a Supreme Court decision that outlawed the practice of systematically excluding black people from juries.

The last of the men died in 1989.

The House approved the legislation Thursday morning in a 103-0 vote. The measure earlier passed the Senate 29-0.

“This is a great for Alabama. It was long overdue,” said Democratic Rep. Laura Hall of Huntsville, who sponsored the bill in the House. Democratic Rep. John Robinson of Scottsboro said the pardons “should have happened a long time ago.”

House Speaker Mike Hubbard, a Republican, said, “You can’t change history, but you can take steps to right the wrongs of the past. The fact that this passed unanimously shows that today’s 21st century Alabama is far removed from the one that caused such pain for so many so long ago.”

That distance is still being measured.

Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, applauded the correction of “an historic miscarriage of justice.” But he noted that Alabama is involved in a Supreme Court case over the Voting Rights Act and has passed laws called discriminatory against immigrants in the country illegally.

“Like so many communities that have had tried to move beyond their ugliest chapters, Alabama has learned you can only move forward if you are honest about your past,” Jealous said. “It’s heartening that this was a unanimous vote.”

needs to confront its present.”

Susan Glisson, executive director of the Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi, also was gladdened by the measure. “It is an opportunity for us to understand that period, especially the ways in which blacks were deemed inferior and therefore not worthy of equal treatment before the law,” she said.

But she found it ironic that it happened while Alabama is challenging its requirements under the Voting Rights Act, and said that the amount of time it took to pass may lead some to consider it an “empty gesture.”

“For those of us who care about where our country’s headed, I would hope we would take the opportunity to ask difficult questions about what reconciliation really means and also to understand the critical role that education and justice plays in its accomplishment,” Glisson said.

The nine teens from Georgia and Tennessee were accused of raping two white women on a freight train in north Alabama in 1931. At this time during the Great Depression, many people would sneak aboard for free rides between cities. There had been a fight between whites and blacks on the train, and the two women made the false rape accusations in hopes of avoiding arrest.

The defendants were convicted in trials where, as typical in such Deep South cases during Jim Crow, guilty verdicts were never in doubt. The Communist Party seized on the case as an opportunity to make inroads among black people and liberals, and its legal arm was named as their attorneys. There were years of appeals — some successful, as one of the women recanted and said their claim was a lie. All

Pettitte & Rivera pitch Yankees by Red Sox, 4-2 NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Pettitte was a rock on the mound in his latest gritty performance. Mariano Rivera jogged in from the bullpen to nail down a ninth-inning lead.

Following two straight duds to start the season, the banged-up New York Yankees finally looked like themselves Thursday night.

Pettitte pitched the Yankees to their first win of the year and Rivera made a successful return to the mound in New York’s 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Brett Gardner and Francisco Cervelli homered for the Yankees, providing some unexpected power to a depleted lineup missing the “sore four” — Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson.

All those All-Stars are on the disabled list, plus pitcher Phil Hughes, and without them New York dropped its first two games to the rival Red Sox. Lyle Overbay had a two-run single off Ryan Dempster (0-1), who struck out eight in his Boston debut but needed 101 pitches to get through five innings. The two-time All-Star signed a $26.5 mil-

lion, two-year contract in December after spending last season with the Cubs and Rangers.

“Just got outpitched by the guy on the other side of the field,” Dempster said. “I made a lot of good pitches and a couple balls fell in. That was enough to win the game.”

Looking for their first season-opening sweep at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox were handcuffed by a pair of New York greats.

The 40-year-old Pettitte (1-0) tossed eight sharp innings on a 43-degree night and Rivera entered to a standing ovation from those left in the bundled-up crowd of 40,611 as the familiar chords of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” blared over the Yankee Stadium speakers.

Rivera issued a leadoff walk to Dustin Pedroia and gave up a one-out double to Jonny Gomes before Will Middlebrooks drove in a run with a groundout.

But the right-hander threw a called third strike past rookie Jackie Bradley Jr. for his 609th save and first since April 30 last year at Baltimore.

Gilford High’s Bring Your Own Device policy wins national acclaim ALEXANDRIA, Virgina — The Gilford (N.H.) School District has been named an honorable mention recipient in the 19th annual Magna Awards program sponsored by the National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) American School Board Journal (ASBJ).

The Gilford is being honored in the under 5,000 enrollment category for their program, Developing 21st Century Learning with Digital Devices.

An administrative review of a district policy banning students from bringing their own electronic devices to school led to a district-wide policy change allowing students to BYOD, or bring your own device, to school. Technology and professional development funds were used to increase wireless access and purchase tablet computers for teachers. Teachers at all instructional levels have implemented new instructional strategies and resources using techonology.

The district also has a substantial e-book library.

The Magna Awards recognize districts across the country for outstanding programs that advance student learning and encourage community involvement in schools. This year’s three grand prize, 15 first place, and 15 honorable mention winners were selected from three enrollment categories: under 5,000 students, 5,000 to 20,000 students, and over

20,000 students.

“The Magna Awards showcase the great work going on in local school districts across the country to increase student achievement and success,” said Thomas J. Gentzel, executive director of NSBA. “This year’s Magna Awards recipients are national models that school leaders can learn from. NSBA commends Sodexo for its continuing support of this program and its goal of highlighting outstanding public school achievements.”

ASBJ initiated the Magna Awards in 1995 to recognize school boards for taking bold and innovative steps to improve their educational programs. An independent panel of school board members, administrators, and other educators selected the winners from nearly 300 submissions.

The 2013 winners are highlighted in a special section in the May issue of ASBJ and will be formally recognized on Saturday, April 13, at the Best Practices for School Leaders Luncheon, which is part of NSBA’s 73rd Annual Conference.

In addition to a listing in the ASBJ special section, the district’s winning entry will be added to the Magna Awards’ searchable best practices database.

Bertram C. ‘Bert’ Smith, 72 GILFORD — Bertram C. Smith, “Bert”, of Cotton Hill Road in Gilford, passed away on April 3, 2013, surrounded by his adoring family. He was an exceptional husband, father and grandfather who always put his family’s needs before his own.

Mr. Smith was born on July 10, 1941 in Beebe River, N.H. to Adelbert Hazen and Winnifred Potter Smith.

After graduating from Plymouth High School in 1959, he enlisted in the U. S. Air Force for five years, serving an extra year due to the Cuban Missile Crisis. For three of those years, he was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii.

After leaving the Air Force, he was employed by the W. T. Grant Co. as a restaurant manager for both the Gilford and West Lebanon stores. It was during this time that he met his loving wife, Linda Page Smith.

For the past twenty-two years, he had been employed by the State of New Hampshire as an interviewer for the Dept. of Employment Security until his retirement on February 1, 2013.

Mr. Smith was a past member of the Plymouth Lodge of Elks. He was a wonderful cook who created the most delicious dishes – no recipes required.

In his younger years, he loved his motorcycle, his Thunderbird, bowling and spending time at the Page family cottage on Bear Island. He also liked to play cards, especially poker.

Most important, he and his wife were animal lovers who, over their forty-five years, have rescued many

homeless “kitties” providing them a safe, comfortable home and much love. He is survived by his loving wife of forty-five years, Linda; a son, Derrick Jeffrey Smith; a daughter, Heather Noonan, and her husband, David; a daughter-in-law, Jennifer Smith, six grandchildren, Chelsey Smith, Bertram C. “C. J.” Smith III, Brittany Smith, Jahnna Doherty and twins, Kaylee and Kiara Smith; a sister, Kelly Tustin, and her husband, Fred; a brother, Kenneth Smith, and his wife, Nancy, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and his precious “kitties”.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by a son, Bertram Charles Smith II. As per his wishes, there will be no calling hours.

Graveside services will be held at 2 PM on Monday, April 8, 2013 at Sacred Heart Cemetery, Garfield Street, Laconia.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the B. Charles Smith II Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation, PO Box 7312, Gilford, NH 03247-7312, Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice, 780 North Main Street, Laconia, N.H. 03246 or to the New Hampshire Humane Society, PO Box 572, Laconia, NH 03247.

Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements. For more information and to view an online memorial go to www.wilkinsonbeane.com.

ADDISON — Patricia D. Danyow, 81, died on April 2, 2013, surrounded by her loving family at Helen Porter Healthcare in Middlebury, Vermont.

She was born on June 3, 1931, in Laconia, New Hampshire to Blynn and Edna Drouin. Patricia graduated from Laconia High School. On January 13, 1951, she married Arthur E. Danyow, Jr. and moved to Vermont where they ran a farm and raised a family in Ferrisburg then Addison.

Patricia worked as a bookkeeper for Murdock Oil, Pyrofax, and Petrolane Gas for several years. She and Arthur enjoyed bowling on several leagues, snowmobiling, motorcycling, boating; raising their family of four and later their granddaughter, Christine. Arthur and Patricia have enjoyed spending summers on Lake Winnisquam, at her childhood family camp. She and Arthur loved playing cards with their grandchildren, beautiful summer days on the lake reading at the Loon Sanctuary, and pulling their grandchildren around on water skis, kneeboards, and the torpedo. They also loved taking their grandchildren to the ocean in Maine. Patricia loved her family above all else, and nothing made her happier than to have all of them together, laughing, sharing memories and enjoying good food. She was very proud to see her

three oldest grandchildren graduate college, and cherished all the times she had with her younger grandsons. Arthur and Patricia celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary on January 13, 2013.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Arthur; their children, Arthur E. Danyow, III and wife Cathy, Blynn “Bill” W. Danyow and wife Debra, daughter, Lori A. Counter and husband Ronald, and son, Michael A. Danyow and wife Karen; her grandchildren, Stacy Counter DiPerna and husband Gary, Christine (Danyow) Rivers and husband Lou, Ryan Counter and wife Kristin, Jared Danyow, Sean Danyow and Aidan Danyow, Julie Adams and husband Mike, Jeff Spencer and wife Autunm; great-granddaughters Charlotte Francis DiPerna, Elena Spencer, and great-grandsons Spencer Adams and Cormac Spencer; brothers, Paul Drouin and wife June, Allen Drouin and wife Mae, sister Deanna Danahy and husband Jim, and sister Joanne Brulotte.

Basketball marathon fund raiser held this weekend LACONIA — A 24-hour basketball marathon event this weekend will raise funds for a charity that sends college students to Africa to promote social change through basketball.

The marathon begins at noon on Saturday, April 6 and ends at noon on Sunday. In the hours between, organizer Kelsey Converse will host basketball and other athletic events continuously going on in the Laconia Middle School gymnasium.

The event raises funds for Shooting Touch, a Boston-based charity that pays for college seniors to spend ten months in Rwanda, where they will build basketball courts, give clinics and lessons and organize teams in local schools. The sport is then used as

a platform to promote social change.

Every dollar raised at the basketball marathon will benefit Shooting Touch, said Converse. Those who wish to attend will pay $5 to get in the door, and they are welcome to play basketball for as little or as long as they like.

The event begins with a kids’ basketball clinic and Zumba class from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

On Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., a second kids’ clinic will be offered for basketball and Jazzercize.

Other hours on the schedule are designated for various ages and genders; visit the Facebook page for “SHOOTING TOUCH PLAY FOR CHANGE 24 see next page

Lakes Region poets give library presentations in Gilford and Wolfeboro Two Lakes Region poets, Barbara Bald from Alton and Charlotte Cox from Laconia, will offer a contrast in poetic experiences at two separate events during National Poetry Month in April.

Each event will feature readings that explore the theme of “Journeys Outward, Journeys Inward” – first at the Gilford Public Library on Thursday, April 11, at 6:30 p.m., and then at the Wolfeboro Public Library on Monday, April 22, also at 6:30 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.

These evenings will also include some open mike time, so audience members are encouraged to bring something to share.

Cox will begin each evening with a series of poems arising from her travels in Mexico, New Mexico, and Africa, pursuing how the discovery of such new places can inspire new emotions and new insights into life. A first-place winner in the Poetry Society of New Hampshire’s Member Contest for Spring 2012, she also has had articles published in several general and special-interest periodicals.

Bald will treat listeners to a stirring mix of poems

to meet the poets and ask questions about the writing process.

Betty Tidd, Assistant Librarian at the Gilford Public Library, joins with Cynthia Scott, Director of the Wolfeboro Public Library, in saying: “This will be a great opportunity to hear two accomplished poets from the Lakes Region, and also to share your own thoughts with other creative people. Please join us for these very special evenings.”

Writer of thousands of hymns portrayed Tuesday at United Baptist Church

LACONIA — A dramatic presentation about a woman who wrote more hymns than anyone in history will be presented Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the United Baptist Church in Lakeport.

She was a pioneer in promotng public education for the blind and was a teacher of blind children for many years. She wrote more than 8,000 hymns, many of which continue to be sung in churches and Sunday schools, including “Blessed Assurance,” and “Near the Cross.”

The Rev. Ann Partner Nelson will portray Crosby.

A retired Methodist minister, Nelson wrote and presented her first monologue of Crosby in 1985.

Nelson’s husband, John Nelson, will serve as copresenter and narrator for Tuesday’s program. The Nelsons are residents of Swanzey.

An offering will be taken during the program.

The proceeds will be donated to a mission outreach program. Refreshments will be served after the program in the church hall.

ecycling in Laconia is collected at your curb every other week in 2013. Your trash collection is every week. Place your trash and Mixed Paper and Commingled Containers at the curb by 6:00 AM. The recycling collection will be on the Shaded Weeks as follows.

DURHAM — Plymouth Regional High School topped John Stark High School by a score of 310 - 110 in the first round match of the 2013 Granite State Challenge.

The first few rounds were competitive, with challenging video questions posed by Willem Lange regarding Costa Rican politics and history. Plymouth’s lead gradually increased with two successful opportunities for 15-point bonus rounds that were straight off the farm. John Stark faced a challenging 60-second round with a crop of tough questions about New Hampshire literature, and Plymouth plowed ahead to plant a victory.

The Plymouth Bobcats were represented by captain Kate Brownstein, Jordan Brownstein, Jade McLaughlin, and Aaron Scheinman, and led by coach Jay Fogarty. John Stark’s Generals were represented by captain Zack Grattan, Marina Rioux, Henry Johnstone, Keith Galli, and were coached by Jill Pinard and Phil Matzke.

If you missed the match live on NHPTV, you can still watch the match from their website: http:// video.nhptv.org/program/granite-state-challenge/.

Plymouth now advances to the second round of GSC; this match and all GSC matches are available online to watch anytime.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis

do what you want. Which do you think is better? Your actions today will answer the question.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your sign mate the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking thinks computer viruses should count as life. You have your own ideas now about what to anthropomorphize, and a fan finds it adorable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many people simply don’t know you well enough to predict what you’ll do next. That’s how you like it. When you pull out all the stops, they’ll be surprised and delighted.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve been lucky before, but turning in stellar results time and time again, as you’ve been doing lately, is not a matter of luck.

You make an intelligent effort, you work hard, and you care.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). For all the dirt, sweat and falls, you would rather be in the arena of life striving valiantly than be a critic up in the stands. You’ll connect or reconnect with your tribe this month.

May brings fast changes, while June is leisurely, peaceful and full of laughter. Professional advancement influences your domestic rhythm in August. Leo and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 22, 39 and 15.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your urge to improve upon what is already working just fine is commendable, but it’s a waste of energy today because there are more pressing concerns to address. As the country saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You really understand what matters, and that makes it a happy day. Aspiring to a small victory, like mastering a soup recipe or helping a child submit peacefully to bedtime, is a noble pursuit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Domestic pursuits might concern you, but don’t stress too much over them. The best thing about your place is that you’re in it, and that’s what other people see when they visit you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You simply can’t relate to lazy people. You feel sorry for them and want to help, but you can’t understand their condition. If you stop doing things for them, they might become less lazy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your weapons of reason arm you against false hope, stupid ideas and other wastes of time and energy. Take care that they do not also arm you against creativity and possibility.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being too careful makes your muscles tight and rigid.

That’s a fine way to stumble. Better to be loose, ready and willing to take a few knocks. That’s how you learn to stay on your feet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have it pretty good right now, but you won’t be able to shake the nagging truth: There is something inside you that is superior to your circumstances.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Is it true that you love in others what you lack in yourself? Or is it truer that you love in others what you know is in yourself? Your relationship with the one you love will prove both points.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Fame ensures lots of attention. Obscurity allows you to go under the radar and

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 5, 2013— Page 23

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, April 5, the 95th day of 2013.

There are 270 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 5, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the Civilian Conservation Corps and an anti-hoarding order that effectively prohibited private ownership of gold.

On this date: In 1614, Pocahontas, daughter of the leader of the Powhatan tribe, married English colonist John Rolfe in Virginia. (A convert to Christianity, she went by the name Lady Rebecca.)

In 1621, the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts on a monthlong return trip to England.

In 1792, President George Washington cast his first veto, rejecting a congressional measure for apportioning representatives among the states.

In 1862, during the Civil War, the monthlong Siege of Yorktown began in Virginia.

In 1887, in Tuscumbia, Ala., Anne Sullivan achieved a breakthrough as her blind and deaf pupil, Helen Keller, learned the meaning of the word “water” as spelled out in the Manual Alphabet.

In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were sentenced to death following their conviction in New York on charges of conspiring to commit espionage for the Soviet Union.

In 1964, Army General Douglas MacArthur died in Washington at age 84.

In 1976, reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes died in Houston at age 70.

In 1986, two American servicemen and a Turkish woman were killed in the bombing of a West Berlin discotheque, an incident which prompted a U.S. air raid on Libya more than a week later.

In 1987, Fox Broadcasting Co. made its primetime TV debut by airing a total of three times the premiere episode of “Married... with Children” followed by “The Tracey Ullman Show.”

In 1988, a 15-day hijacking ordeal began as gunmen forced a Kuwait Airways jumbo jet to land in Iran.

Ten years ago: U.S. officials declared a near chokehold on the Iraqi capital Baghdad even while warning that many other parts of Iraq were not yet under allied control. A prison riot in northern Honduras left 69 inmates dead and dozens injured.

Five years ago: President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin opened farewell talks at Putin’s heavily wooded retreat on the Black Sea. Actor Charlton Heston, big-screen hero and later leader of the National Rifle Association, died in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 84.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 5, 2013— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’ve been a widow for 15 years. I moved to another state to be with my kids and met “Jerry.” We’ve been dating for nine months.

Jerry has been divorced for two years and has two adult children. His ex-wife was his childhood sweetheart and the only woman he’d ever been with. The problem is, I have never been to Jerry’s house. He says his niece and youngest child live with him, and he hasn’t told the family about me. When I asked why, he said, “Then everyone will know it’s over between my ex and me.”

I think Jerry’s mother sustains the hope that he will get back together with his ex, and I’m pretty sure his ex would like that, too. I gave Jerry a deadline of three months to make our relationship public. He swears he’s not still married, and he gave me a ring for Valentine’s Day. He spends the night at my house every week. I just want to know what you think.

-- Not Yet Official Dear Not Yet: Either Jerry is still hung up on his ex-wife, or he’s too afraid of his mother to date anyone else. If he were truly ready to move forward, seeing you publicly would not be an issue after nine months. Your deadline makes sense, but you must be ready to end the relationship if Jerry doesn’t come through. That would mean he isn’t likely to ever be “ready.” Sorry.

Dear Annie: I’m planning my wedding and asked my best friend, “Kayla,” to be my maid of honor. I love her like a sister. Right after college, Kayla made a mistake and got pregnant after a one-night stand with some guy she met at a bar.

Her daughter, “Jessie,” is now 4 years old, a wonderful child and my goddaughter. I want her as my flower girl.

My mother liked Kayla until Jessie was born and she realized the child is biracial. My mother hit the roof when she found out Kayla and Jessie are in the wedding party. She

claims they are “tainted.” I am astounded and furious with my mother. Her side of the family is extremely racist, and I have little to do with them. My mother always downplayed their behavior as “old fashioned,” but now that she’s older, she’s become just like them. Believe me, it’s not early-onset dementia or anything like that. She’s simply turning into her parents.

My fiance and I are footing the entire bill for this wedding, so we are not beholden to anyone. I’m shocked and embarrassed that my mother has become someone I can’t stand to be around. She told my father and brothers that she won’t come to the wedding if Kayla and Jessie are there, and frankly, I’m relieved -- and that bothers me. My father is appalled by her behavior, as are my brothers. What do I do now? -- Bigot’s Daughter Dear Daughter: A parent’s preferences should be taken into consideration when they are reasonable, but your mother’s are not. You can calmly discuss with her why her demands are abhorrent to you and that you hope she will reflect more rationally on the racist opinions she holds. But you cannot change her. You can only decide how much you can tolerate.

Please do not give in to her blackmail.

Dear Annie: You had a letter from “Suggestions Appreciated,” who wanted to know what to do about guests who track snow into her house. You said it was OK to ask them to remove their shoes, especially if she provides comfy little slippers.

I have one more suggestion: Let people know beforehand that they will need to take off their shoes. I have a lift in one shoe and cannot go without them. I have a special pair of shoes that I can bring along to wear inside the house if I know in advance that I will need them. -- Frank

Laconia Clinic employees wore blue to raise awareness of colon cancer and cancer screening LACONIA — The Laconia Clinic, a department of LRGHealthcare, hosted a Dress in Blue Day event where employees wore blue to help bring greater awareness to colon cancer, a disease that can be prevented through screening. The event took place to coincide with the Colon Cancer Alliance’s (CCA) National Dress in Blue Day program to help commemorate March as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

“We wanted to make a difference in the lives of our employees, their families and their friends. Our companywide Dress in Blue Day event encouraged employees to talk to family and friends about colon cancer and the importance of being screened. By bringing greater awareness to this disease and the

importance of screening and early detection, we will save lives,” said Andy Patterson, Senior VP of Provider Relations and Contracting.

Dress in Blue Day is held on the first Friday in March in communities and offices throughout the nation. The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) first launched the Dress in Blue Day program in 2009 to bring nationwide attention to colon cancer and to celebrate the courage of those affected by this disease. Today, individuals, businesses and community groups across the country participate by wearing blue and urging others to do the same. Blue is the nationally recognized color for colon cancer. By “going blue,” we hope to raise public awareness and get people talking about this cancer.

Gail also operates the New Hampshire Holistic Health Network, which publishes a directory and community website for practioners and businesses.

There will be a dowsing practice rom 6:30 to 7 p.m.

The Starr King Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is located at 101 Fairgrounds Road.

Ann McClellan’s illustrated talk, titled “(Not So) Elementary, My Dear Watson: The Popularity of Sherlock Holmes,” looks at one of the most popular fictional characters of all times. Arthur Conan Doyle’s character has been portrayed in over 230 films in several different languages, as well as in numerous television shows and literary adaptions.
