City ready for public viewing of Wyatt Park plans

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Parks and Recreation Department has prepared three plans for reconfiguring and landscaping Wyatt Park, which will be presented at a meeting on Thursday, May 10 at the Community Center

beginning at 7 p.m.

Kevin Dunleavy, director of the department, said yesterday that the plans are intended to reflect the perspectives expressed city residents, particularly those living in close proximity to the park located just off South Main Street.

The first option would retain the current layout of the park, but expand existing elements and add new ones. The basketball court would remain in the southwest corner, along with the swing set and playground.

A removable skating rink would be placed next to the

basketball court, south of the swing set while the playground at the east end of the park would be expanded and a small picnic area put in the southeast corner. The northwest corner would be planted as a garden or “Adopt-a-Spot” next to a larger see WYATT page 6

LACONIA — Jurors learned Thursday that after Leo LaPierre’s beaten and dying body was found lying in mud next to a

South Main Street mobile home, neither the man accused of punching and kicking him the night before, the two other people staying in the trailer, nor the man who found him wanted to do anything to help.

The jury heard from the prosecution’s only eyewitness, Tracy Hebert, a woman who was staying in the trailer with Jason Durgin — the Laconia man facing negligent see TRIAL page 8

Wyoming town with 1 resident sold for $900K

BUFORD, Wyo. (AP) — Buford is a small place for sure, but so is the world.

A remote, unincorporated area along busy Interstate 80 that advertised itself as the smallest town in the United States, Buford was sold at auction for $900,000 on Thursday to an unidentified man from Vietnam.

It’s owner for the last 20 years, Don Sammons, served with the U.S. Army as a radio operator in 1968-69.

After meeting the buyer, an emotional Sammons said it was hard for him to grasp the irony of the situation.

“I think it’s funny how things come full circle,” he said.

The buyer attended the auction in person but declined to meet with the media or to be identified. Sammons and others involved in the auction would not discuss the buyer’s plans for Buford.

It will take about 30 days for all the paperwork to be completed before ownership of the place located almost equidistant between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming see next page

Minnesota waitress reclaims $12K tip after dispute with police restaurant. The box turned out to contain $12,000 in bills in various denominations.

Police initially told her she could keep the money if no one claimed it, but later said it was part of a drug investigation.

On Thursday, after the case drew national attention, Assistant Clay County Attorney

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — Authorities have decided to return a $12,000 tip to a Minnesota waitress that police believed was drug money.

Stacy Knutson of Moorhead says a customer told her she could keep a takeout container she left behind at the Fryn’ Pan

Michelle Lawson told reporters the money could not be tied to a criminal investigation, and that Knutson would get a check.

Knutson says she believed the money was an anonymous gift from someone who knew her family had severe financial difficulties.

‘Three Cups’ author will stay with institute after paying back $1M HELENA, Mont. (AP) — “Three Cups of Tea” author Greg Mortenson will remain the face of the charity he co-founded, despite his having to repay $1 million after an investigative report released Thursday concluded he mismanaged the organization and misspent its money.

Central Asia Institute Interim Executive Director Anne Beyersdorfer said Mortenson will continue to draw a salary from the charity. But it won’t be as executive director and he is barred from being a voting member of the board of directors as long

as he is still employed by the organization.

A new title has not been created for the mountaineer and humanitarian, but he will continue to represent the organization in speaking engagements and work to build relationships in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the charity builds schools and promotes education, she said.

“He’s the heart and soul of the organization,” Beyersdorfer said. “He’s the cofounder and I think we all think of him as our chief inspiration officer.”

A yearlong investigation by the Mon-

tana attorney general, who oversees charity organizations operating in the state, found Mortenson exerted tremendous control over the charity as tens of millions in donations poured in after the 2006 release of “Three Cups of Tea.” Mortenson’s best-seller and a follow-up book, “Stones Into Schools,” came under scrutiny last year when reports by “60 Minutes” and author Jon Krakauer alleged the CAI co-founder fabricated parts of both and that he benefited financially from the see THREE CUPS page 7

U.S. Coast Guard firing on Japanese ghost ship in Gulf of Alaska OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard unleashed cannon fire Thursday at a Japanese vessel set adrift by last year’s tsunami, stopping the ship’s long, lonely voyage across the Pacific Ocean.

A Coast Guard cutter fired on the abandoned 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru in the waters of the Gulf of Alaska and more than 150 miles from land, spokesman Paul

Webb said. He said it could take at least an hour to sink it.

Soon after they started firing, the ship burst into flames, began to take on water and list, Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow said. He said the vessel poses a significant hazard and that the Coast Guard has been warning mariners to stay away.

Aviation authorities are also advising pilots to steer clear of the area.

JC Penney cuts 13% of corporate HQ staff NEW YORK (AP) — Two months into J.C. Penney’s transformation, its workers are starting to feel the pain.

The mid-priced department store chain said Thursday that it has laid off 600 workers, or 13 percent of the staff at its headquarters in Plano, Texas, as the company looks to streamline its operations amid a major reinvention of the business.

Penney also will eliminate 300 more jobs at its customer call center in Pittsburgh when it closes the center July 1.

The moves come as the company’s new CEO, former Apple Inc. executive Ron Johnson, is transforming every aspect of Penney’s business, from pulling back on constant promotions to rethinking the brands it carries.

“We are going to operate like a start-up,” said Johnson in a press release issued Thursday that didn’t cite specific job cuts. “We are going to be nimble, quick to learn, quicker to react and totally committed to realizing our vision to become America’s favorite store.”

Johnson, who became CEO Nov. 1, said the cuts involved “some very difficult decisions” but were essential for the business.

The company had hinted that layoffs would come when it told investors in late January that it planned see PENNEY page 12

Public funding of abortion up for debate in Statehouse CONCORD (AP) — Supporters of ending public funding for centers that provide elective abortions argued Thursday that doing so would give women an “upgrade in service at no additional cost,” while opponents said it could cost the state millions of dollars.

Under a bill before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, taxpayer funding would be cut off to hospitals, clinics, doctors and others who perform elective abortions, even if private money is used to pay for the service.

Rep. Warren Groen of Rochester, one of the bill’s sponsors, told the committee that hospitals and other providers could still provide abortions if they create separate business entities to do so. He called the bill an attempt to use taxpayer money more efficiently by directing it toward facilities that provide a broader array of health care services.

Former U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, a Republican from Colorado, echoed those comments in her testimony, saying the bill would make it easier for women to be treated by providers who can serve all their health care needs, from dental care to cancer screenings.

“It represents the equivalent of a free upgrade to

first class from coach in women’s health care,” said Musgrave, vice president of government affairs for the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group.

But Jennifer Frizzell, senior policy adviser for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, said that view shows a poor understanding of New Hampshire’s health care system.

“In five of those six locations where Planned Parenthood offers health services (in New Hampshire), there are no community health centers,” she said.

“Some of the logic in the bill suggests that if you take funding from Medicaid and other critical women’s health programs away from Planned Parenthood, that there are other providers in the community that will step up to serve this population in a commensurate way. But we know that’s not the case.”

Lisabritt Solsky, New Hampshire’s deputy Medicaid director, said the bill could violate a federal provision that allows Medicaid recipients to receive services from any willing provider. She said the state might have to remove every Medicaid provider that performs abortions not exempted by the bill, which includes 24 of the state’s 26 acute care hospitals.

Gingrich’s think tank is bankrupt ATLANTA (AP) — The health care think tank created by Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is going out of business.

The Gingrich Group, also known as the Center for Health Transformation, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in federal court in Atlanta on Wednesday.

The bankruptcy filing marks an abrupt turn for a group that raised millions of dollars just a few years ago to support and promote Gingrich’s health care ideas.

The center’s filings indicate it has liabilities between $1 million and $10 million and between 50 and 99 creditors. The group had assets of only up to $100,000, the filing said.

Gingrich cut ties to the Center for Health Transformation and the Gingrich Group in May 2011 as he prepared his presidential run, said his attorney Stefan Passantino.

“It did exceptionally well under his leadership. What this shows is that he was integral to the operation and success of the operation,” Passantino said. “It’s not in any way a failure of leadership or mansee NEWT page 12

Right wing hatred of Chevy Volt not working Imagine that. Former Republican President George H.W. Bush recently bought his son Neil a Chevrolet Volt as a birthday present. This is the car that all rightthinking right-wingers demand we hate. In their political prism, the Volt has everything going against it: It’s beloved by environmentalists for getting 61 miles to the gallon. It’s assembled by unionized workers at General Motors’ Detroit-Hamtramck plant. It enjoys government subsidies intended to encourage the production of fuelefficient cars (started actually by H.W.’s oldest son, former President George W. Bush).

To many, this resembles progress.

But to “conservatives” wanting government-bailed-out Detroit to go down in flames, especially if the United Auto Workers union goes with it, this plug-in hybrid is the car that has to die.

Lo and behold, U.S. car sales were hot last month, with General Motors selling over 100,000 vehicles that get at least 30 miles to a gallon. And sales of its Chevy Volt more than doubled from the month before.

The irony is that GM has temporarily stopped production of the Volt following earlier weak sales.

And here’s why the Volt wasn’t flying out of the lots: The rightwing media had launched an outrageous smear campaign against it.

As former GM executive Bob Lutz sarcastically put it, the Volt had become “the poster child for President Obama’s socialist meddling in the free automotive market.”

Lutz responded with special anger to a recent Bill O’Reilly Fox News show in which the host condemned the Volt as “an unmitigated disaster.” Joshing over the disappointing Volt sales, O’Reilly’s guest Lou Dobbs said, “It doesn’t work.” Also, “It catches fire.”

None of this happens to be true.

The European-market Volt worked well enough to be named the European Car of the Year. The “catching fire” claim is pure fiction, Lutz said, based on battery tests “under extremely destructive experimental conditions.” Two of the three batteries involved weren’t even in a car.

No Volt has ever caught fire in an accident on a public road, he added, while between 2003 and 2007, some 278,000 gasoline-powered cars did.

Sadly, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has lowered himself by catering to feverish right-wing fantasies. He softened the rhetoric a bit by advancing the myth that an already weak General Motors and Chrysler could have survived in bankruptcy reorganization without government help. Most economists deemed that scenario impossible at a time of economic meltdown, when nearly all lending had stopped. And who would buy a car from a bankrupt company not backed by the government?

Judging from past writings on energy policy, Romney probably subscribes to a Bush-like belief that government has a role in helping Americans reduce their oil consumption. But he did join the antiVolt pile-on this week. Using past tense he commented, “I’m not sure America was ready for the Chevy Volt.” Then he wished it well.

What weird brand of politics revels at the prospect of plowing under a U.S. product so innovative that the Chinese are demanding its engineering secrets? It’s a politics that ignores the huge subsidies that other governments, including China’s, are pouring into energy technology. It’s a politics that seems to blindly hate organized labor — even after the autoworkers had accepted enormous cuts in their numbers and compensation to keep the car companies afloat. It’s a politics that went goofy over Chrysler’s Super Bowl ad in which Clint Eastwood announced, “It’s halftime in America.” Without evidence, some heard a thinly veiled call for a second Obama administration.

Exactly whose side are these people on? If these self-styled patriots want to keep waving the flag, fine. But it should be a white flag, not the American one.

Church & GOP want to dictate what women can do with their health To the editor, Mr. Lemay, you recently wrote a letter in which you mentioned me and I felt it was necessary to respond. I want you to know that I would never have chosen to have an abortion during my child bearing years, and that I am pro-life in every sense of those words. I have labeled myself as a pacifist since I knew what the word meant.

However, I also am pro-choice to the extent I firmly believe people have a right to make their own decisions especially when it come to personal matter as are birth control, health care and even abortion. I do not believe that I, or any other person, has the right to dictate what other people should believe or what decisions they should make. As I do not walk in other people’s shoes how am I to know what their thought process and reasons are and what gives me the right to decide if their decision is right or wrong?

As to the “day after pill” — which you have labeled as the abortion pill — I’d like you to consider this factor.

How does anyone even know if an egg was fertilized? Not all eggs are. As it takes about six days for a fertilized egg to get to the uterus and implant itself thus then producing HCG in the blood and urine which at that point will verify if a woman is actually pregnant, how does anyone even know if an abortion took place or will take place? If there is no fertilized egg you cannot possibly be aborting anything.

The possibility of an egg dying on its journey to implant itself in the uterus is another factor. It seems the church, and you, are putting the wagon before the horse. The day after pill does exactly what a vasectomy or a birth control pill does. It stops the egg from the possibility of fertilization.

In the case of a woman who has been raped and is a VICTIM this pill is an option now available to minimize the chance of later having to abort if a child was, in fact, conceived. When a women is raped she is also give the

option of taking a cocktail (a mixture of drugs) that also will minimize her chance of contacting HIV. Would you, or the church, deny her this opportunity? I think not.

The day after pill and this cocktail are not mandatory. Catholic women, who have been raped, can refuse them. That is their choice. However I highly doubt any woman would take the chance. It seems to me that in your way of thinking and the church you have already decided a life was conceived and want to ban this pill based on that belief but not even consider the fact that there may not be anything that needs to be aborted to start with. That makes no sense. You would deny the use of this pill to a VICTIM and make her have a child she had no say in conceiving. You would deny this VICTIM the chance to minimize her chance of an unwanted pregnancy and a chance to get on with her life.

All because the Church has predetermined an abortion will take place.

My problem with the church and the Republican Party is that, in both instance, they are trying to dictate what women can do with their bodies, their lives and their health. I am appalled at the “stupid” bills Republicans have submitted all over the USA. Women are smart. We make decisions every minute of every day.

We are capable. We are entitled under the U.S. Constitution to the same rights as men. However with this war against women the Republican Party, and the church has involved itself into, it seems that these groups want to make us again second class citizens.

I, for one, have no intention of allowing myself to become a second-class citizen. Too many women fought to hard all these past years, and unfortunately still have to, just to insure women receive the rights they are due and I like my rights and will continue to fight to keep them.

Obamacare would change our entire relationship with government To the editor, Boy oh boy are liberals upset. Seems the justices on the Supreme Court didn’t rubber stamp Obamacare.

What a shock after the “Constitutional Law Professor” has been declaring the laws legal all this time. But is it really such a surprise? After all Obama was never a professor really, only a part time lecturer. Even so he should have had a clue but like so much of his pronouncements it doesn’t hold much water. Now I don’t know how the court will decide in the end but I would be very shocked if this law passes muster. If it does readers must realize that it would change our entire relationship with the government.

We would no longer be citizens of the United States of America we would instantly be reduced to SUBJECTS of the U.S. Federal Government, make no mistake about that.

I keep watching gas prices creeping ever higher, amazed at how the president sits back, denying any culpability while the bus runs over regular people.

You know, those 99-percent Democrats always claim to be looking out for?

Green energy has become as much a religion as a political position with many apparently including Obama it seems. Why else does “fearless leader” drive forward recklessly on these programs like a religious zealot. Add to gas and oil price increases will soon be electric rates. Why, because a ban on construction on any new coal fired energy plants has been implemented. That’s 40-percent of our electric generating units. I guess Obama doesn’t care about whether the poor and elderly will be able to heat their homes in coming winters or stay cool in summers. Well look, that will be one way to reduce medicare costs, kill off we elderly.

Has anyone else read about how efficiently our international aid programs work? For instance how many of you readers realize that we give foreign aid money to CHINA? Maybe I’m misinformed, I hope so, but I recently read that this was indeed the case. China then lends the money back to us, at interest, and then fails to improve the working conditions for millions of workers. Another interestsee next page

LETTERS Obama now trying to annihilate U.S. coal industry our of existence To the editor, Anyone believing lower energy costs will arrive during the Obama Administration needs a lobotomy. Gas prices now average about $4 nationally with some states near $5. Since his election Obama has taken every opportunity to be a one-man wrecking ball to business interests of every type and none more so than his personal whipping boy — energy. He has done everything possible to make energy cost more under the deranged fantasy higher priced fossil fuels (especially gasoline) make his voting and bed partners, wind and solar, look more attractive.

First, it was Obama’s cap and trade tax proposals to increase energy costs that even Democrats would not support, then foot dragging off shore off drilling permits reducing oil supplies, then stalling approvals for exploration on millions of acres of federal land, then stone walling the Keystone pipeline. Now he is trying to totally annihilate the coal industry out of existence with endless new rules and regulations from the EPA. Then Obama has the spheres to say the honest cause of high gas prices are those greedy speculators. The truth is, Barack Obama is one of the most bold faced, arrogant liars on many subjects but none more so than why energy costs are sky high.

Some facts to consider: 1. The earth has not changed temperature in the past decade. Why? Even those pushing global warming don’t know.

2. If we stopped every car in America tomorrow it would cut world CO2 emissions by a grand total of 2-percent.

3. Methane gas emitted from the cow poop in China and India does more harm to the atmosphere than all CO2 emissions.

4. For every coal fired electricity plant we shutter to save the planet, China is now building 20 to take that one’s place.

5. Subsidies to energy companies are the SAME as those given to all MANUFACTURING companies — which is

primarily write-offs for investment for plants and new equipment.

6. Concerned with outrageous government subsidies? Big oil gets on average subsidy of 64 cents per megawatt hour. Wind and solar get government subsidies of $56.29 per megawatt hour (almost 100 times more). Now who is ripping off tax payers?

7. The effective tax rate paid by big oil companies is 41-percent. It is about the highest paid by ANY industry in all of America.

8. From 1981 to 2008, big oil paid more money to the federal government and states in taxes than it paid out to All SHAREHOLDERS combined that own these companies and shoulder ALL THE RISKS. 9. The albatross around wind and solar (besides cloudy and still days) is that they will never power land vehicles which are the gorillas of America’s fossil fuel consumption.

10. Obama prints fiat dollars 24/7 making them close to worthless in all foreign trade purchases like oil. Every new buck he prints makes everyone in existence worth LESS. Those who sell us oil demand MORE of them. Result, unending, higher gas costs Obama style.

Obama could not wait (for political reasons) to hand out tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to the totally FAILED business models of GM and Chrysler caused by outrageous and uncompetitive wage/benefit packages demanded by unions. Now, Obama cannot DEMONIZE loud enough or long enough the success and work ethic of energy companies that pay hundreds of billions in taxes to the federal government and almost every state in America as he demands the elimination of their subsidies that every other business in America is entitled to. Subsidies, that IF REMOVED, would do nothing but spike gas prices even HIGHER. The ONE person most singly responsible for your high gas prices in all of America is BARACK OBAMA, make no mistake about it and in countless ways.

Here are 5 reasons I will vote for Mitt Romney for president To the editor, We will vote for Governor Mitt Romney in the presidential election for the following reasons: 1. He has been an effective owner of businesses both large and small, maintaining those that were profitable and closing those that were not, 2. He has never been elected to federal office before. That is a plus in and to itself these days, 3. He cannot make anymore mistakes than what have occurred so far in the administrations of both parties, 4. His so-called “etch a sketch” evolution in the political world is no dif-

ferent than that which precedes him, 5. As a registered Republican, we haven’t been at all satisfied with our federal and state legislators or the current administrations apparent disregard for our Constitutions.

We may seem naive and ill-informed but after seven plus decades and some amount of schooling, including our share of the school of hard knocks, we believe these are reasons enough to make Mitt Romney our next President of the United States.

The second plan would include the elements of the first, but halve and relocate the basketball court to the middle of the north side of the park, where it would be complemented by enclosure for a porta-potty.

Dunleavy said that the plan addresses the concerns of neighbors about the noise and behavior associated with the court by moving it away from the residences and close to the parking spaces on Champlin Street. Without the basketball court, the southwest area of the park would become what Dunleavy called a “passive space,” featuring a fountain in the center and crossed diagonally by a path. A picnic pavilion would be placed near the existing swing set.

The last choice would retain all the elements of the second, but eliminate the basketball court altogether.

Planning Board accepts subdivision of State School

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Planning Board this week approved the plan presented by New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services to subdivide a portion of the former Laconia State School site off North Main Street, which will remain the property of the state. The city has no authority approve or deny proposals by the state.

Last year, when the Legislature included the sale of the property in the 2011-2012 state budget, the department indicated that it would retain ownership of a building housing the 911 call center and the building vacated by Lakes Region Community Services, which would remain the property of the state.

The subdivision consists a 17-acre lot formed by annexing four acres of Ahern State Park with 460 feet of frontage on North Main Street and bordered by Right Way Path to 13 acres where the two buildings, each with an adjacent parking lot, stand. The short stretch of Ahern Park Road that begins at Right Way Path and parallels Parade Road before turning west would be abandoned. A new driveway off Parade Road, through the northeast corner of Ahern Park would serve the state-owned lot and connect to Ahern Park Road, offering direct access to the park.

The subdivision would shrink the extent of the remaining property, for which the city is preparing an offer to purchase, from 212 acres to 199 acres.

The approval was granted on the understanding that the state will continue to maintain the water system on the parcel, which supplies water to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex and that public access to Ahern State Park will not be hindered. Planning Director Shanna Saunders questioned the location of the new access road, suggesting that the line of sight for vehicles entering North Main Street may not be adequate. However, she acknowledged that the issue would be addressed by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.

Mike Connor, director of the plant and property division of the Department of Administrative Services, said that the intended to “mothball” the building formerly occupied by the Lakes Region Community Services.

Spring & Put a Little

Salmon season going swimmingly, so far

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Although the low water levels are expected to make it a short one, the salmon fishing season has been keeping anglers happy since it began on Sunday.

On Wednesday, as he did on opening day, Manchester resident Mike McCall was fly-casting into the Winnipesaukee River as it flowed through downtown Laconia. “This year has been good,” he said, noting that he and his fishing buddy hooked more than two dozen salmon on Sunday, including one 19 inches long as well as a 22-incher.

“I’ve noticed a lot of long, skinny fish, I’ve caught some nice plump ones, too,” he said. Last year was also a bountiful salmon season, he recalled, though the landscape looked much different, with fresh snow on the ground and a river flowing high with snowmelt. This year, he said, “the water is down a lot. The fishing is not going to be as good as it has been. The water is going to warm up quickly.” Once the water temperature crests 50 degrees, he said, salmon will leave the river and retreat to Lake Winnisquam’s depths.

Christopher Dame was just down the bank from McCall, reel fishing with a fake worm topped with PowerBait. A 15 year-old Laconia resident, Dame has been fishing the Winnipesaukee River with his dad for six years. This season has “been pretty good so far, I’m happy that I got a few.”

Dame doesn’t worry about the rapidly warming THREE CUPS from page 2 charity. The attorney general’s probe focused only on the charity’s finances and operations, and did not examine the books’ contents.

The investigation found Mortenson had little aptitude for record keeping or personnel management, resulting in still-unknown amounts of cash earmarked management costs or wired overseas for projects without receipts or documentation on how that money was actually spent, the report said. The two other board members were Mortenson loyalists who generally did not challenge Mortenson, and he resisted or ignored CAI employees who questioned his practices, it said.

“Mr. Mortenson may not have intentionally deceived the board or his employees, but his disregard for and attitude about basic record keeping and accounting for his activities essentially had the same effect,” Attorney General Steve Bullock said.

water temperature, because with the warmer water will come bass. Last summer, underneath the Main Street bridge, Dame caught a largemouth weighing eight pounds.

Laughing at the realization, Dame reported he’s already caught more salmon this season than he did all of last year. “It’s easier as you get older, you get the patience you need.”

It’s not only the fishermen who are happy with the season. Ralph Langevin, who has owned Martels Bait Shop for 12 years, said sales during the young salmon season have “been really good – probably as good as we’ve ever had. Early ice-out, good weather, everybody’s fishing.”

“Opening day was very good, everybody caught a fish, I think. Since then, it’s quieted down, it always does.”

Not only were sales good for Langevin during the salmon season, he reported that his ice fishing sales were equally strong, as counter-intuitive as that might seem for such a warm winter with relatively poor ice conditions.

“I sold 28 ice augers this year. Worst year for ice, best year for ice augers,” marveled Langevin. He suspected that many people ice fishing this winter were out-of-work plow truck drivers or construction workers, or snowmobilers who needed a new way to spend a weekend outside, “blue-collar guys who had nothing else to do,” Langevin said. For those who are so inclined, fishing is certainly better than nothing, especially when the salmon are biting.

The charity’s mission is good and its financial situation is strong, Bullock said. CAI took in $72 million in donations from 2003-2011 and still has more than $23 million in reserves.

Though no criminal wrongdoing was found, CAI needs better oversight so one person does not hold too much control, the report concluded.

Mortenson declined comment through Beyersdorfer because of a separate civil lawsuit challenging the content of his books that is still pending. Penguin spokeswoman Carolyn Coleburn said the publisher had no comment on the report.

At least one Central Asia Institute donor said the findings would not undermine his support of the organization. Don Hammel, a retired real estate agent in Omaha, Neb., said he believes that the problem was Mortenson’s “fuzzy math” and not the charity’s mission to educate more people, especially girls.

TRIAL from page one homicide and manslaughter charges for inflicting the blows that ended his life a week later.

Hebert spent a grueling afternoon in the witness chair in Belknap County Superior Court — first telling the jury her version of what she saw the night of May 2, 2011 and what she did the next morning and then having defense attorneys try to dismantle and discredit nearly everything she said she saw or did.

Under direct examination from N.H. Assistant A.G. Michael Lewis, Hebert described seeing Durgin punch LaPierre’s in the face and kick him in the head after he fell.

Sailboat capsizes on big lake; 2 men rescued GILFORD — A double-hulled sailboat capsized off the west side of Diamond Island on Lake Winnipesaukee around 5:15 p.m. yesterday afternoon but neither of the two men aboard the boat required hospitalization despite being in the choppy 43 degree water for about 15 minutes before rescue crews arrived at the scene.

Both men were wearing wet suits according to Jeff Madon of the Gilford Fire Department, who said that one of the men was being taken to shore by a private boat when the rescuers arrived at the scene in the department’s fire/rescue boat.

He said that the second man didn’t want to leave SHIP from page 2

the overturned sailboat and remained in the water until Marine Patrol arrived. He then waited aboard the Marine Patrol boat for a tow boat to arrive and tow his boat back to shore. ‘’He initially refused to get off the boat but Marine Patrol persuaded him to get out of the water,’’ said Madon. He estimated that the sailboat was about 25 feet long and said that the only parts of it which could be seen from the surface were its two pontoon like hulls.

He said that the the strong winds yesterday created swells on the lake which were three to five feet high.

time) traffic,” Webb said.

The ship had been destined for scrapping when the Japan earthquake struck, so there is no cargo on board, according to Webb. He said he doesn’t know who owns the Ryou-Un Maru, which has been traveling about 1 mile per hour in the past days.

Earlier, Webb said the cutter was going to fire the cannons from several hundred feet away. The goal is to punch holes in the Ryou-Un Maru and sink it.

A Coast Guard C-130 plane crew will monitor the operation.

A Canadian fishing vessel, the 62-foot Bernice C, claimed salvage rights over the ghost ship. The Coast Guard stopped their plans to fire so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship.

A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that the Bernice C

was unable to tow the abandoned ship.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship and let the fuel evaporate in the open water.

The Coast Guard will warn other ships to avoid the area, and will observe from an HC-130 Hercules airplane.

The vessel has been adrift from Hokkaido, Japan, since it was launched by the tsunami caused by the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011. About 5 million tons of debris were swept into the ocean by the tsunami.

The Japan earthquake triggered the world’s worst nuclear crisis since the Chernobyl accident in 1986, but Alaska state health and environmental officials have said there’s little need to be worried that debris landing on Alaska shores will be contaminated by radiation.

from preceding page said she lied to a dispatcher when asked for a call back number by saving the phone was shut off and could only be used for 911 calls.

She also told the jury she was an alcoholic who dropped out of high school in ninth grade, had three children, and had been homeless when she began living in Durgin’s trailer about six weeks before he allegedly assaulted LaPierre. She said she was convicted of forgery in 2008 and served a sentence in the N.H. State Prison for Women.

Under cross examination, Hebert also said she had been regularly drinking up to a half-gallon of vodka nightly and using it to wash down a host of ill-gotten drugs like Xanax, Suboxine, and Percocet. She also said about one week after LaPierre was beaten, she spent four days in an LRGH detoxification ward for alcohol poisoning, saying she was drinking to forget.

She denied she didn’t want to let police in because there were drugs in her bedroom saying she had taken all of them the night before. “I buy them as needed. I don’t get a prescription,” she said.

Under cross-examination she also said her

memory is “cloudy at times,” but denied ever “blacking out” (or forgetting what happened due to alcohol) because she “had been an alcoholic since she was 13.”

Under both direct and cross-examination, Hebert steadfastly maintained she had returned to the trailer between 9:30 and 10 p.m. on May 2 and witnessed the alleged assault moments after returning home.

Defense Attorney Tim Landry assailed her testimony about telling the police she took Tylenol P.M. until Judge James O’Neill backed him off for badgering the witness.

Hebert testified under direct examination that Gary Fields, who she described in detail, was the man in the third bedroom, but under cross examination said she told police his name was Matt.

She also said that Durgin told her daily that she had to leave but it was only after LaPierre was beaten that she made arrangements with a family member to get some of her things.

Cross examination of Hebert continues today at 10 a.m.

OPEN EASTER Breakfast 7am-1pm

Tigers take opening day game from Red Sox in bottom of 9th DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander was brilliant on the mound and Prince Fielder drove in a key run with his bat. Still, after a rare slip by Jose Valverde, the Detroit Tigers were all tied with Boston in the bottom of the ninth.

Up stepped Austin Jackson — Detroit’s strikeout-prone leadoff man — needing only a little poke through the infield to win the game.

Jackson delivered, hitting a sharp groundball past third with the bases loaded to give the Tigers a 3-2 win over the Red Sox in Thursday’s opener.

It was Jackson’s third hit of the game, and it enabled his team to leave the ballpark happy on a day Verlander once again looked impressive.

“I get the strikeout questions a lot, but it doesn’t bother me. I understand,” said Jackson, who fanned 351 times in his first two big league seasons. “I stayed with the approach as far as just putting the ball in play, and it worked out.”

Verlander, last year’s AL MVP and Cy Young winner, was dominant for eight innings and left with a 2-0 lead. But Valverde (1-0) blew a save for the first time in 52 chances, a streak that included 49 in a row last season.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland sounded almost relieved after Valverde’s first blown save since 2010.

“When I say this, I mean it: In a way, I’m glad that streak’s over,” Leyland said. “It puts that behind us and we can just go forward.”

Boston manager Bobby Valentine lost in his return to the major leagues after replacing Terry Francona

following the team’s 7-20 September slide that cost the Red Sox a playoff spot last year.

“There was a lot I saw that I liked. Lester was terrific. He did just what he needed to do,” Valentine said. “Verlander was very good. A lot of pitches on the outside corner were perfect pitches. We knew he was good and he’s still good if anyone is wondering.”

Valentine brought in Mark Melancon (0-1) to start the Detroit ninth, and he allowed one-out singles to Jhonny Peralta and Alex Avila.

Alfredo Aceves entered and hit Ramon Santiago with a pitch, and Jackson came through with a single past diving third baseman Nick Punto to win it.

Fielder singled his first time up for the AL Central champions and added a sacrifice fly in the eighth after Jackson had tripled.

Verlander allowed two hits, walked one and struck out seven. It was his fifth consecutive opening day start — and fourth no-decision. Verlander has had problems in April throughout his career.

“This was the best opening day I’ve had, and hopefully that goes toward all the hard work I’ve been putting in to get off to a better start,” he said. “Long way to go, but it’s good to get that first one under your belt and have it be a good one.”

David Ortiz hit a sacrifice fly off Valverde, and Ryan Sweeney’s two-out triple off the wall in the right-field corner tied it.

Boston’s Jon Lester allowed a run and six hits in seven innings. He struck out four and walked three.

With installation of additional pews earlier this year, the recent round of major renovations and expansion of Gilford Community Church has come to a close.

Expansion of sanctuary seating capacity completes transformative project at Gilford Community Church

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Within the past five years, Gilford Community Church has undergone a major renovation and expansion of its facilities, located at the heart of the historic village. The project took years of work and millions of dollars, and left in its wake a newly-constructed indoor gymnasium and youth center and an expanded fellowship hall.

When the church first began planning the expansion, though, it was to address the more modest need for more space in the sanctuary. In 2006, recalled pastor Michael Graham, church members held a brainstorming session, where they asked each other what they would do if money were no concern.

Graham suggested an indoor gymnasium available to the community at large. “It was a dream, we didn’t have any sense that the primary donors would step forward,” he said.

But step forward they did, to the tune of nearly $5-million, raised primarily through private donations from church members. Gilford Rotary Club and Laconia Savings Bank also contributed to the youth center portion of the project. The money afforded the church its first expansion since the Wixson Community Center was added in the 1980s and one of the most significant projects since the church was established in 1798.

In January, the church installed its additional pews, which, along with other changes, increased the capacity of the sanctuary to more than 400. Greater capacity was seen as necessary to avoid the need for two services on Sunday. The fellowship hall, located in the basement, below the sanctuary, can now accommodate many more people and has benefited from the addition of a large, commercial-grade kitchen.

The real jewel of the project, though, is the Gilford Youth Center.

“The church has always had a view of outreach, but this is expanded from before,” said Walt Flinn, who served as chairperson of the church’s expansion committee. “Our ability to serve the needs of the community are greater.”

From the beginning of the planning process, the youth center was viewed not as an amenity of and for church members but as an offering to the community. “Our obligation here is to make sure the doors are open like we promised – so that no one feels it’s an exclusive opportunity,” said Flinn. “If our doors weren’t open, who’s would be?”

Gilford seems to have accepted the gift of the community center. Graham reported that various nonchurch affiliated clubs and organizations utilized the new facilities for a total of 269 hours during the month of January alone. That tells Graham that the project has been successful in providing a needed service. “Some people look at saving souls, we look to enrich lives,” he said.

“Our ability to serve the needs of the community is greater,” Flinn said. He encouraged any interested group or organization, regardless of religious affiliation, to consider the facilities open to them.

“That’s what it means for us to take our faith seriously,” Graham continued. “To see the needs of the world and address them without strings attached.”

With the recent installation of the additional pews, the expansion project is now completed. However, Graham said that doesn’t mean that congregants can put their feet up and relax. “We could put it on cruise control but we won’t. We think there’s still needs right here... There’s going to be more and more opportunities for the church to step up.”

JP PENNEY from page 3 to reduce layers of management at its headquarters.

The company had said then it was targeting $900 million in expense cuts to be completed over the first two years of its transformation. That included $200 million in savings from its corporate headquarters as well as $400 million in cost savings in store operations and $300 million in advertising savings.

The changes are expected to reduce expenses below 30 percent of sales by the end of 2013.

Before the layoffs, Penney had 4,400 employees at its headquarters. Penney spokeswoman Darcie Brossart said the staffers were notified Thursday.

Before Thursday’s cuts, Penney employed 134,000, including store workers.

In recent years Penney has suffered because its core middle-income customers have been among those hardest hit by the weak economy. It’s also lagged behind rivals like Macy’s Inc. making its stores fun places to shop. In its latest fiscal year ended Jan. 28, Penney reported a loss of $152 million on revenue of $17.26 billion. That compares with a profit of $389 million on revenue of $17.76 billion in the same period last year.

Revenue at stores open at least a year, considered a key indicator of a retailer’s health, rose a slim 0.2 percent for the latest fiscal year. Rival Macy’s Inc. enjoyed a 5.3 percent increase.

One of the first big moves Johnson made was eliminating hundreds of sales events a year in favor of

a three-part price strategy, begun Feb. 1. That plan offers everyday prices that are about 40 percent less than what they were a year ago, monthlong sales on select items and clearance events on the first and third Friday of each month. According to various analysts’ reports, sales have fallen since then.

As part of its “Fair and Square” pricing policy, the company also now allows shoppers to return items without a time limit. Those who don’t have a receipt can exchange the item or get a J.C. Penney gift card at the current price. Previously, J.C. Penney had a 90-day return policy but shoppers needed a receipt.

Brossart said Penney decided to consolidate its three call centers to two after it saw that call volume dropped by 30 percent in recent weeks because of fewer customer concerns regarding coupons, prices and returns. New Yorkbased retail consultant Walter Loeb says he also believes with the lack of blockbuster sales events, there’s less urgency for shoppers to call the center.

Penney also is changing the in-store shopping experience. It plans to carve its stores into 80 to 100 brand shops.

Merchandise will be refreshed once a month.

Penney is also planning to add spots in its stores called Town Squares, like Apple’s Genius Bars, that will offer services and advice.

Shares of Penney fell 58 cents, or almost 2 percent, to $34.88 in afternoon trading.

Gingrich’s group created the for-profit center in 2003 to focus on health-related initiatives like improved health care technology, Medicare changes and President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. At its peak, it attracted a range of healthcare providers, academics and others who shelled out big bucks to become members, the attorney said.

“It didn’t have the same appeal to the members as it had before when he left,” Passantino said.

The filing lists dozens of creditors, including Passantino’s law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge, Gallup Inc. and Gingrich Productions, the film company run by Gingrich’s wife, Callista.

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis outer space makes our human problems seem quite small indeed. It may help you to imagine yourself looking down from far above the Earth’s atmosphere.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Life is a banquet today, and there are too many choices laid out before you to eat in one meal. Before you say “yes” to any one item, consider how it will work with the rest of the plate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You once worried that your imagination was an exhaustible resource. But it turns out that the more you express your creativity the more there is to express. There’s someone who thrills to your every invention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll like what happens with your work.

People interpret it the way you meant them to -- and that doesn’t happen all the time! You’ll also get extra recognition, and it will feel terrific.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is it shallow to want to be surrounded by attractive people? So what if it is? It certainly makes the time pass pleasantly this afternoon. And it’s nice to know that your own attractive energy is working, too.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 6).

You’ll be applauded on your birthday, as you’ve touched many lives, and your people want to honor you. But it might be more fuss than you’re comfortable with. This month brings a life-changing commitment. May represents a turning point in your professional life. Using your talents in new ways will energize you. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 14, 30 and 11.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone will look at you with big, wet, begging eyes. Still, it’s better for both of you if you’re realistic about what you’ll do for this person. Better to underpromise and over-deliver than the other way around.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re ready to take on anyone about anything. There’s no need to cool your jets, as you’ll be admired for being hot and determined. P.S.: Dinner tonight is exquisite if you’re the chef.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll sense who needs your attention, and whether or not you think it’s essential, you’ll give it generously. You’ll be careful not to waste time with those who won’t find your help useful.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A want may seem urgent now, but it won’t be in a matter of hours. What’s important to you will change over the course of the weekend. Once you get your needs met, they are no longer needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you do will matter, and it’s the only thing that will matter. What won’t matter is what you think, believe or know. Action is the magic wand that makes things happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not always sure how to open your heart or whether you even should. But sometimes your heart’s door just flies open anyway, as though blown by a gust of wind. That’s what happens today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel another person’s silent pain, and you answer it with the medicine that will take away this ache. Likely, this has more to do with the soul than the body.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Astronauts have noted that the view from

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 6, 2012— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Good Friday, April 6, the 97th day of 2012. There are 269 days left in the year. The Jewish holiday Passover begins at sunset.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 6, 1862, the Civil War Battle of Shiloh began in Tennessee as Confederate forces launched a surprise attack against Union troops, who beat back the Confederates the next day.

On this date: In 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints was organized by Joseph Smith in Fayette, N.Y. In 1886, the Canadian city of Vancouver, British Columbia, was incorporated.

In 1896, the first modern Olympic games formally opened in Athens, Greece.

In 1909, American explorers Robert E. Peary and Matthew A. Henson and four Inuits became the first men to reach the North Pole.

In 1917, Congress approved a declaration of war against Germany.

In 1945, during World War II, the Japanese warship Yamato and nine other vessels sailed on a suicide mission to attack the U.S. fleet off Okinawa; the fleet was intercepted the next day.

In 1954, a month after being criticized by newsman Edward R. Murrow on CBS’ “See It Now,” Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wis., given the chance to respond on the program, charged that Murrow had, in the past, “engaged in propaganda for Communist causes.”

In 1965, the United States launched the Intelsat I, also known as the “Early Bird” communications satellite, into orbit.

In 1971, Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky, 88, died in New York City.

In 1985, William J. Schroeder (SHRAY’-dur) became the first artificial heart recipient to be discharged from the hospital as he moved into an apartment in Louisville, Ky. In 1992, the Supreme Court ruled a Nebraska farmer had been entrapped by postal agents into buying mail-order child pornography. The European Community recognized the former Yugoslav republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina as an independent state. Science-fiction author Isaac Asimov died in New York at age 72.

In 1994, the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi were killed in a mysterious plane crash near Rwanda’s capital; widespread violence and killings erupted in Rwanda over claims the plane had been shot down.

One year ago: Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi appealed directly to President Barack Obama in a letter to end what Gadhafi called “an unjust war”; he also wished Obama good luck in his bid for re-election.

Today’s Birthdays: Nobel Prize-winning scientist James D. Watson is 84. Composer-conductor Andre Previn is 83. Country singer Merle Haggard is 75. Actor Billy Dee Williams is 75.

Northway Bank hosting workshop on retirement

BERLIN — Northway Bank and its TrueNorth Travel Club are presenting a free workshop titled “Too Young to Retire: Rebalance and Recharge the Rest of Your Life.” It is geared toward people over 50 who are unsure about what comes next.

The free interactive workshop will help attendees re-frame the next phase of life by exploring “encore” opportunities that get away from the idea of a traditional retirement.

The workshop will discuss money, work on your terms, volunteering, unique travel, learningopportunities and more. Betsy Gemmecke, the workshop presenter, will

offer new ideas to spark your imagination and help you to clearly focus on what is most important to you.

Betsy Gemmecke, MSW, is a “Too Young to Retire” certified facilitator of a 6 week retirement planning course, and a certified Professional Career Development Coach, with over 30 years of experience in counseling, education, and career development. She initiated the Conway Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Granite State College and is a graduate of the 2011 NH Senior Leadership Series sponsored by AARP. “For many people, the idea of a traditional retirement seems less appealing or attainable,’’ said Pam Shyne, Northway’s TrueNorth Travel Club Coordinator.

“This workshop offers a new perspective on what retirement can look like and how different opportunities you may never have thought of can give you a retirement full of joy, meaning and fun.”

The workshop will be offered free of charge at 3 different times and locations: April 21 in Concord from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., April 26 in Berlin from 6-8 p.m., and May 3 in Plymouth from 6-8 p.m.

To register, contact Pam Shyne at 603-7521171 or 1-800-442-6666 ext 2696, or by email at pshyne@northwaybank. com. Class size is limited.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, April 6, 2012— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: For 20 years, I’ve considered my sister, “Trina,” my best friend. A couple of years ago, she was transferred into a very difficult work position. Trina has had a hard life, and I wanted to be there for her through thick and thin.

However, when I needed emotional support from her this year, it wasn’t there. I shared how hurt I was, but apparently I wasn’t tactful enough. Trina felt I was criticizing her. Now we don’t talk on the phone anymore. She says she is “busy.”

Instead, we exchange brief emails. When I text, she replies a day or two later, saying, “Sorry, I didn’t see your text.” She has walled herself off and tells me, “Just accept me as I am.”

The problem is, I feel used. I was her rock all those years, with long, encouraging calls, helping with finances, taking trips to support her. I don’t need her to reciprocate all of those things, but from time to time, I long for a little empathy.

I don’t know how to deal with my feelings. Shall I just give up? The communication coming from Trina is pretty clear. If it were a friend doing this, I would move on. Trina has asked me to come for our annual summer visit, but I don’t feel comfortable pretending there’s a relationship when one no longer exists.

How do I honor Trina’s feelings and also my own? -- Former Sister Dear Sister: Trina is a better taker than giver. She has probably always been this way, but you didn’t notice until you needed her. (This is not an uncommon dynamic in many relationships.) Trina avoids you now because she recognizes that she has disappointed you. And she’s right about one thing: You have to accept her as she is. Please visit her this summer.

She’s your sister. We’re sure she has many good qualities, so try to focus on those. You can still enjoy her company if you

understand her limitations.

Dear Annie: My son recently turned 50. First he lost his job, and then he was in an accident. I let him stay with me until he settled the accident lawsuit, but he blew that money and is still here.

He is on disability now and is waiting for housing in an apartment complex for the disabled, but I have no idea how long it will take. The stress of him being here and all the junk he’s accumulated is wreaking havoc with my respiratory system and taking a toll on my mental health.

On top of that, I would like to care for my 3-year-old grandson while his parents are at work. I can’t deal with both a 50-year-old and a toddler. How can I get my son to leave?

-- Tired of Mothering Him Dear Tired: If your son is waiting for housing, it could take a while. In the meantime, talk to his doctor and local social service agencies to see what help is available right now. Then set a time limit, and tell your son he has until then to find other accommodations. Perhaps his siblings, relatives or friends will lend a hand until his housing options become a reality.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Steve in Ohio,” who asked about family members having the same name. It is an Italian custom to name the firstborn son after the grandfather.

My oldest uncle named his son Salvatore, as did another uncle two years later. A year after that, my parents named me Salvatore. Our parents eliminated confusion by calling one Big Sal, the other Little Sal and I was Roger, my middle name.

It worked out fine until I went into the military. An investigation revealed that there was no one with that name born at the hospital I had indicated. To straighten everything out, I had to legally change my name to Roger. -- The Villages, Fla.

WOW will be hosting a training seminar during the week of April 9, as a brief training will be required to become an Official WOW Trail Counter.

In support of this volunteer effort, Annie’s Café and Catering on Union Ave. has graciously partnered with the WOW trail. Owner Annie Verville has donated a free Ice Tea/Lemonade and a free

LACONIA — The New Hampshire Democratic party is seeking input from citizens on its platform for 2012 and will hold a hearing on Thursday, April 12, at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Busiel Mill, which is located next to the Laconia City Hall.

The Platform Committee seeks to build a platform that finds the common ground among Democrats and helps make the case for why neighbors and friends should support the Democratic vision for moving New Hampshire forward in 2012. In their travels around the state, the Platform Committee is attempting to ensure the 2012 Platform is a statement of our principles and a direct appeal to the decent, hardworking people of New Hampshire.

This meeting is open to the public and is hosted by the Laconia Democrats and the Belknap County Democrats. Light refreshments will be served.
