THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — After 3 and 1/2 years as the city’s top cop, Mike Moyer announced yesterday he would be retiring on June 1.

Police Commissioners Armand Maheux, Doug Whittum, and Warren Clement also named current Lt. Christopher Adams as the new chief.

“This is a great honor and huge responsibility,” said Adams who joined the Laconia Police Department as a patrol officer in 1994, after his graduation from New Hampshire Police Standards and Training — the 102nd session — and earning his Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from New England College.

In 2000, he graduated from the Massa-

chusetts Police Leadership Academy.

Adams is known for his involvement in the community, serving as chair of the Family Violence Prevention Council and the co-coordinator of the Citizens Police Academy.

He is also on the boards of a number of civic organizations including the Human see adaMs page 10

Police search for man said involved in early morning shooting

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A man wanted in a shooting early Friday morning remained at large after police spent the day searching a number of homes in Laconia, Belmont and Meredith to no avail.

Modern Woodmen

Police obtained warrants for the arrest of James R. McNeil, 29, on charges of first degree assault and being a felon in possession of a firearm following an incident at 22 Strafford Street, unit 302 shortly before 4:30 a.m. on Friday.

When police reached the

apartment they found Tyler Twombly, 26, who had been shot in the abdomen. Twombly was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital where he was treated for the gunshot wound and reported in stable condition yesterday afternoon.

Police learned that three men,

including McNeil, had left the apartment before they arrived, one of whom had been stabbed.

Chief Mike Moyer said that the victim of the stabbing had been treated and released by Lakes Region General Hospital and along with the third man was see sHOOtING page 9

‘Historic’ deal cut to avoid government shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — Perilously close to a government shutdown, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders reached a historic agreement late Friday night to cut about $38 billion in federal spending and avert the first federal closure in 15 years.

Obama hailed the deal as “the biggest annual spending cut in history.” House Speaker John Boehner said that over the next decade it would cut government spending by $500 billion, and won an ovation from his rank and file —tea party adherents among them.

“This is historic, what we’ve done,” agreed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., the third man involved in negotiations that ratified a new era of divided government.

They announced the agreement less than an hour before government funding was due to run out. The

shutdown would have closed national parks, taxseason help lines and other popular services, though the military would have stayed on duty and other essential efforts such as air traffic control would have continued in effect.

On side issues — “riders,” the negotiators called them — the Democrats and the White House rebuffed numerous Republican attempts to curtail the reach of the Environmental Protection Agency and sidetracked their demand to deny federal funds to Planned Parenthood.

Anti-abortion lawmakers succeeded in winning a provision to ban the use of federal or local government funds to pay for abortions in the District of Columbia.

Lawmakers raced to pass an interim measure to prevent a shutdown, however brief, and keep the fed-

eral machinery running for the next several days. The Senate acted within minutes. The House worked past midnight, so the federal government was to be technically unfunded for a short period of time, but there would be little — if any — practical impact The deal came together after six grueling weeks and an outbreak of budget brinksmanship over the past few days as the two sides sought to squeeze every drop of advantage in private talks.

“We know the whole world is watching us today,” Reid said earlier in a day that produced incendiary, campaign style rhetoric as well as intense negotiation.

Reid, Obama and Boehner all agreed a shutdown posed risks to an economy still recovering from the worst recession in decades.

But there were disagreements aplenty among see SHUTDOWN page 10

Discovery of 14K lost votes gives conservative win in Wisconisin judge race MADISON, Wis. (AP) — When a little-known liberal challenged a conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, the once-sleepy race suddenly looked like a backdoor way for Gov. Scott Walker’s opponents to sink his agenda.

Then a clerk discovered 14,000 unrecorded votes that vaulted the incumbent into the lead. Experts said the results represented a draw for the governor: He didn’t lose, but the slim margin means he didn’t win big, either. And the close contest could help ensure Walker’s opponents stay energized for the next round.

The outcome also improves the odds that Walker’s collective bargaining law would survive a legal challenge before the high court. Yet it falls short of a

clear public endorsement of the governor’s policy.

The conservative “didn’t win by the margin everyone expected him to win by,” said University of Wisconsin-Green Bay political science professor Michael Kraft. “If I were Walker, I wouldn’t be saying everything is just dandy and people love me.”

Only a short time ago, Justice David Prosser had been expected to coast to another term after 12 years on the bench.

In February, he emerged from a four-way primary with 55 percent of the vote, far ahead of JoAnne Kloppenburg, an assistant state attorney virtually no one had ever heard of. She came in a distant second with 28 percent, setting up an uphill run against Prosser in the general election.

Then outrage over Walker’s plan to strip public workers of nearly all their union rights reached a crescendo. Tens of thousands of people converged on the state Capitol for three weeks of nonstop protests, and minority Democrats in the state Senate fled to Illinois to block a vote.

Republicans in the Legislature eventually passed the plan without Senate Democrats, and Walker signed it into law last month. The law is bogged down in multiple legal challenges, though, and has not taken effect.

Democrats and Kloppenburg supporters worked to tap into the anger surrounding the measure. They hoped electing Kloppenburg would tilt the state see WISCONSIN page 11

Mass protests in Syria turn deadly; 32 reported killed when security forces open fire

BEIRUT (AP) — Mass protests calling for sweeping changes in Syria’s authoritarian regime turned deadly Friday, with the government and protesters both claiming heavy casualties as the country’s three-week uprising entered a dangerous new phase.

The bloodiest clashes occurred in the restive city of Daraa, where human rights activists and witnesses said Syrian security forces opened fire on tens of thousands of protesters, killing 25 people and wounding hundreds.

At the same time, state-run TV said 19 policemen and members of the security forces were killed when gunmen opened fire on them. It was the first significant claim of casualties by the Syrian government, which has contended that armed gangs rather than true reform-seekers are behind the unrest — and it could signal plans for a stepped-up retaliation.

The protests were in response to calls by organizers to take to the streets every Friday to demand change in one of the most rigid nations in the Middle

East. Marches were held in cities across the country as the movement showed no sign of letting up, despite the violent crackdowns.

At least 32 protesters were killed nationwide, according to human rights activists. The bloodshed lifted the death toll from three weeks of protests to more than 170 people, according to Amnesty International.

U.S. President Barack Obama in a statement Friday night condemned the violence and called on see SYRIA page 8

Manny Ramirez retires from baseball rather than face drug ban

NEW YORK (AP) — Manny Ramirez walked away from baseball on Friday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug, abruptly ending the mercurial career of one of the most talented — and tainted — hitters to ever play the game.

The slumping Tampa Bay slugger informed Major League Baseball that he would retire rather than face a 100-game suspension. Ramirez served a 50-game ban for violating the drug policy in 2009, and second-time offenders get double that penalty.

“We were obviously surprised when we found out about it today, and hurt by what transpired,” said Rays vice president Andrew Friedman, who signed Ramirez to a $2 million, one-year contract in the offseason. “We were cautiously optimistic that he would be able to be a force for us.”

A person familiar with the situation confirmed to The Associated Press that the 12-time All-Star tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the nature of Ramirez’s issue with MLB’s drug policy was not publicly disclosed.

The commissioner’s office announced Ramirez’s decision in a statement, but provided few details.

“Major League Baseball recently notified Manny Ramirez of an issue under Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program,” the statement said. “Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player. If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed.”

MLB said it would have no further comment.

The 38-year-old outfielder-designated hitter with 555 career home runs left the Rays earlier this week to attend to what the team called a family

matter. Manager Joe Maddon said Thursday that he expected Ramirez to be available for Friday night’s game at Chicago, but he never showed up.

“Of course you’re disappointed,” Maddon said at U.S. Cellular Field. “But at the end of the day, he has to make up his own mind. It’s a choice he has to make.”

Ramirez played in only five games for the Rays, with one hit in 17 at-bats, and flied out as a pinchhitter Wednesday. He had a strong spring training, then was excused from the last exhibition game for personal reasons.

“It’s unfortunate,” said Tampa Bay outfielder Johnny Damon, who helped the Boston Red Sox end an 86-year title drought by winning the 2004 World Series, in which Ramirez was the Most Valuable Player.

“I don’t know everything that’s been brought up.

All I know is he’s a great teammate and a great player,” Damon said, when asked specifically about the steroid allegations. “It’s going to be sad not seeing Manny Ramirez ever around a baseball field.”

A schoolboy legend on the streets of New York, Ramirez was selected 13th overall by the Cleveland Indians in the 1991 amateur draft and rose quickly through the minor leagues, with a youthful exuberance and natural charisma that endeared him to

Portsmouth man walking home from target practice prompts lockdown at school PORTSMOUTH (AP) — New Hampshire police say an armed man returning from target practice prompted a lockdown at the middle school in Portsmouth.

Parents picking up their children around 2 p.m.

Friday called police to report the man, who officers say was carrying a rifle, had a handgun strapped to his leg and a belt of ammunition over his shoulder.

Officers with assault rifles patrolled downtown and surrounded the school.

Police were able to track the man to his residence after a witness reported that he had parked a car at the library.

Police tell the Portsmouth Herald that no charges will be filed against the man, who was returning from target practice and couldn’t find a parking space near his residence so was walking home with his guns.

Ayotte & Bass on record as opposing Northern Pass

CONCORD (AP) — Two members of New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation say they oppose the Northern Pass project to carry hydroelectric power from Canada to southern New England.

In a letter to Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Rep. Charles Bass say they want the energy department to study alternatives to building towers along a 140-mile route through New Hampshire, including burying the lines or using existing rights-of-way.

Ayotte and Bass say they recognize the project’s potential benefits, but hose benefits are outweighed by the need to protect the state’s North Country, which they call one of the region’s prime economic assets and pristine landscapes.

Gov. John Lynch, who is in Quebec on a trade mission, said Friday the project won’t succeed without support from New Hampshire residents.

just about everyone he met.

He broke into the majors in 1993 and played his first full season the following year, when he finished second to the Royals’ Bob Hamlin in voting for Rookie of the Year. He went on to establish himself as one of the game’s most feared hitters, adopting a dreadlock hairdo that seemed to mirror his happygo-lucky demeanor — both on the field and off.

Ramirez signed with the Red Sox as a free agent in December 2000. He helped the long-suffering franchise win the World Series and again in 2007.

“It’s sad, man, to see a player with that much talent and with an unbelievable career get him out of the game,” Red Sox slugger David Ortiz said. “He got his issues like a lot of people know, but, as a player, I think he did what he was supposed to.”

The Red Sox wearied of those issues, though — Ramirez’s erratic behavior, his enigmatic personality — and traded him to the Dodgers in July 2008.

Ramirez instantly became a fan favorite, with “Mannywood” signs popped up around town, as he led Los Angeles to the NL West title and a sweep of the Chicago Cubs in the first round of the playoffs. The performance earned Ramirez a $45 million, two-year contract.

GOP plan for Medicare is not nice The House Republican plan for balancing budgets includes deep cuts in federal health care spending. It is honest but not nice. It’s not nice at all.

Give the blueprint’s author, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, credit for this: He bravely goes where the big money is — Medicare, the popular government health plan for the elderly and disabled. His vision would ditch Medicare as we know it, whereby the government picks up the health care bills. Instead, each beneficiary would receive a voucher to spend on coverage with a private insurer.

Sending this medically vulnerable population into the not-so-tender arms of the insurance industry is the not-so-nice part.

It is significant that the proposal lets anyone 55 or older stay with today’s Medicare setup. This is the group that’s really paying attention.

At first, the vouchers would approximate what Medicare now spends. But over time, the payments would not keep up with the projected rise in medical expenses. Under the Republican plan, 65-year-olds will be paying an average 68-percent of their Medicare coverage costs by 2030, compared with 25-percent today, the Congressional Budget Office reports.

This is privatization. There’s already a lot of privatization in Medicare, Ryan explains. “We’re looking at the lessons that have worked,” he adds, pointing to the private Medicare Advantage Plans and the drug benefit.

Problem is, they don’t work — at least, not for taxpayers or beneficiaries. Medicare Advantage Plans have cost government more than it would have spent had the subscribers been in traditional Medicare. The Medicare drug benefit shovels public money into insurance and drug company coffers. Had the government directly bought the drugs instead, the price tag would have been far lower and the benefits better.

Ryan insists that the new plan is sociologically fair because the rich would receive smaller Medicare vouchers (or whatever he chooses to call them).

This is a devilish thing to do.

Medicare enjoys popular support because all Americans share in its benefits. The program already forces upper-income people to pay considerably higher premiums. Adding new means testing makes Medicare more of a welfare program for the poor. You know what happens to programs for the poor.

If the objective is to get rich people to do more for deficit reduction, why not be straightforward and simply raise their income tax rates? Because taking that approach does nothing for the other goal, which is to undermine Medicare.

There are kinder ways to deal with the soaring costs of Medicare. “Comparative-effectiveness research” are studies that can find effective treatments for a condition and compare their costs. This would give doctors guidelines for choosing care that produces the best outcome at less expense.

The Obama administration is also promoting Accountable Care Organizations — groups of doctors and hospitals that coordinate medical services. Those who do the job efficiently would share some of the savings.

Note that such incentives to curb waste reward the actual providers of medicine, and only if the patients are properly cared for.

Where do the incentives go in the Republicans’ plan? To the corporate bureaucracies that profit by delivering less. In 2009, the top executives of the five largest for-profit insurers raked in $200-million in compensation. That money came from somewhere.

Suppose you’re an insurance exec looking for the big payday, and you’re burdened with a bunch of 85-year-olds with several increasingly expensive ailments that are not going away. Your economic incentive is to have them die, isn’t it?

The private sector can be trusted to provide for the vast majority of our needs.

Ensuring medical care for the frail elderly and disabled is not among them.

The food we eat comes from an average of 1,500 miles away To the editor, “The age of cheap oil has peaked, and our food supply is threatened.”

This was the shocking message of John Carroll’s message at the Belmont Corner Meeting House on Saturday 26 March 2011.

But what impressed me even more was the statement, “Agriculture is coming back to the center of American life.” There is a quiet but strong movement toward local food production, and it’s proving economically viable. The motive is self-interest, so

no altruism or sacrifice is required.

John said that students at UNH are “bugging” the faculty for agricultural training. The talk was entitled “Pastures of Plenty”, after one of his books, and had plenty of information, going into detail about such things as “Intensive Rotational Grazing”, and the Farmers Market business.

He said that there would be oil in the ground after we’re gone, but getting to it will keep getting more expensive (and this is true for all fossil fuels, see next page

LETTERS Arrest a teacher for asking student to keep firearms out of class?

To the editor, Two pieces of legislation, HB-330 and HB-536, currently under consideration by the New Hampshire Legislature are insane, irresponsible, and would make the Granite State much more dangerous. This legislation would not only remove virtually all registration and licensing requirements for possessing and selling firearms but would allow guns in any public place, including courts of law, schools, colleges, town halls, and other places.

What’s worse, the bills would make it illegal for any authority to deny a person their “right” to carry a gun at any time. It would be a violation of the law for any administrator to ban firearms from a school or college campus.

(As least the sponsors thought it out;

they were wise to exempt imprisoned felons!) If passed, the law would subject teachers and professors to arrest and jail if they asked students not to bring firearms into the classroom.

Judges would be in violation of the law if they asked that there be no guns in our courtrooms!

The current N.H. budget would radically cut funding for mental health and criminal justice services. The gun bill would allow any unstable person to own and carry a gun anywhere.

What is wrong with this picture?

Our legislators should be focusing on how to fund education and create jobs, not turning our schools, courts, and other public places into wild west shows!

May 21 community yard sale will be great day for a great cause To the editor, On May 21, the Lakes Region Rotary will be hosting a community yard sale at the Laconia Department of Public Works on Bisson Ave., next to Irwin Motors. This will be a great opportunity for everyone in and around the Lakes Region to help themselves and help others. If you have unused items at your home or office that are still serviceable but not needed, consider donating them for the yard sale. All proceeds from the event will be gifted to the local charities that are currently struggling to provide the assistance to those that are in need.

Unfortunately the times are such that the needs are outweighing the resources of these charitable organizations.

The Lakes Region Rotary is a small

group of professionals and business owners who have committed some of their time and expertise to charitable projects that help our community.

There is a genuine sense of giving back to the community that has helped us make a living and raise our families.

This community yard sale should be a “win-win” event. Some will purge themselves of unused items, others will find that hidden treasure at a bargain price. Please keep the date of May 21 and stop by At Bisson Ave. and check out the event. Should be a great day for a great cause. Visit the web site at lakesregionrotary.org.

$10 OFF* Brunch for Two

Any person born in Hawaii from 1900 on is a U.S. Citizen at birth To the editor, President Obama was born in the United States and is a U.S. Citizen.

His mother was Caucasian and from Kansas, and a U.S. citizen. She gave birth to him in Hawaii, a U.S. state.

Is it not enough for the numerous, local skeptics to accept the fact that an American mother gave birth to an American child in the United States? Is an American-born child, and adult U.S. citizen not eligible to run for president?

The qualifications for president are set in Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution: “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.”

Under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: — If both parents are U.S. citizens, the child is a citizen if either of the parents has ever lived in the U.S. prior to the child’s birth.

— If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is a U.S. national, the child is a citizen if the U.S. citizen parent has lived in the U.S. for a continuous period of at least one year prior to the child’s birth.

— If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if: the “U.S. citizen parent” has been “physically present” in the U.S. before the child’s birth for a total period of at least five years, and at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent’s fourteenth birthday.

Hawaii became a part of the United States in 1959. Barack Obama was born August 4th in Hawaii in 1961 (today’s Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, Honolulu) so his birth was in the United States, not just a U.S. territory. Even if he had been born in Hawaii when it was a U.S. territory, he would still be regarded as a citizen. According to The Immigration and Nationality Act, Title III, SEC. 305. [8 U.S.C. 1405], “A person born in Hawaii on or after April 30, 1900, is a citizen of the United States at birth.”

(As an aside, Republican candidate John McCain was born in Panama and is considered to be a U.S. citizen under the same act. McCain was born on a U.S. military base and both of his parents were U.S. citizens.) Do you doubt his citizenship as well? He ran

for president.

When Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, any issue of his citizenship (or even of his mother’s) was not relevant because he would be “a citizen by birth.” Asked about this, Hawaiian Department of Health spokeswoman Janice Okubo stated that Hawaii “does not have a short-form or long-form certificate”. Moreover, the director of her department has confirmed that the state, “has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.” The certificate also states, “This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.” The courts concur. The “certificate of live birth” has been shown shown to the public, ad nausea.

In 1961, “birth notices” for Barack Obama were published in both the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin on August 13 and August 14, 1961, respectively, listing the home address of Obama’s parents as 6085 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu.

On November 9, 2008, in response to the persistent rumors, the Honolulu Advertiser posted on its web site a screen-shot of the birth announcement taken from its “microfilmed archives” of 1961. Such notices were sent to all newspapers routinely by the Hawaii Department of Health. Why fake anything in the 1960s? No one would have known back in 1961 that there was “a conspiracy to fudge the Hawaiian records for the future,” or knew that Mr. Obama planned to run for president of the U.S. decades later!

Even if his mother had been a “single” American mother in Hawaii at the time of his birth, (which she wasn’t), he would still be a citizen of the United States and eligible to run for the presidency in accordance with the age requirements above in Article II. Do you skeptics also doubt that Ann Dunham from Kansas was his biological mother, who gave birth in Hawaii, or that she was a well-known Ph.D. anthropologist (Duke) who traveled the world and helped mankind until her death, November 7, 1995?

To those who remain doubtful of Mr. Obama’s U.S. birth/citizenship, please provide evidence of his birth in some other country. (The fake one from Kenya on-line by the way, has already been debunked as a fabrication in which the author of the document admitted to it!).

LETTERS Dems promise you the world, paid for by an overdrawn check

Meredith Lions Club sponsors 3 scholarships for local seniors

To the editor, Nothing goes better with a morning cup of coffee than a good “the sky is falling” rant from my Democratic friend Ed Allard. His several hundred word smorgasbord tirade Thursday can be summed in a two word appetizer: “SOUR GRAPES”.

It seems Ed is unwilling to accept the will of the voters across this country expressed in the recent election. That would include Ed’s own defeat running for office espousing the very same opinions and beliefs he babbles today that voters repudiated last November. He got beat as did almost every Democrat across this country who share the same TAX and SPEND mentality that so define the Democrat’s party. Voters made it clear they wanted the busted state and federal budgets across this country balanced and they wanted the tsunami of spending hurdling us all to financial dooms day stopped. Any person with common sense had merely to read the daily headlines announcing Greece’s economic bust as well as Ireland and Portugal with Spain and others teetering on the financial abyss to understand the danger facing us all. Also numerous states, all Democrat-run operations including California had been sounding alarm bells they might need a federal bailout to stay afloat.

Balancing budgets, and slashing programs as well as jobs is a lousy and absolutely thankless job that wins the

To the editor, The Meredith Lions Club is still going strong. Six hours after the tsumani hit in Japan, Lions Clubs International earmarked $1.25-million to aid in the relief. The following week another $6-million had been sent from Lions Clubs from 205 countries around the world. Three hours after the disaster, clubs in Japan had organized and were already assisting the International Red Cross. Lions Clubs International is the largest service club in the world and we are here to serve.

It is scholarship time again and the Meredith club sponsors three scholarships to graduating seniors. The Meredith Lions Club Scholarship is awarded to a student who has a background in community service and plans on continuing with it. The Clyde Dolly Memorial Scholarship is given to the senior who is going to further their schooling at a technical or community college or trade school.The Robert P. Valliere Memorial Scholarship is in honor of Bob Valliere who was active in the sports and youth programs in Meredith. It is awarded to a senior who will continue their education with a sports goal in mind. Applications may be picked up at the guidance office at Inter-Lakes High School. The club is also stewards of the Jan Adams Memorial Scholarship. This was named for a former Inter-Lakes school nurse and Lions member. The applicant must be a resident of the Inter-Lakes School District — Meredith, Center Harbor or Sandwich — and plan to or is attending college and working towards a degree in the medical field. This application is also available at the high school.

people or party doing it few votes and even less popularity. Given that fact why would anyone do it unless it was utterly needed? John Lynch could have vetoed the budget which he didn’t if only to signal Democratic displeasure.

Even Lynch understands the level of cuts needed to balance the budget.

Promising spending ad nausem to buy votes and elections is the central Democratic plank to get people elected to office. Cleaning up after them and corking the champagne bottles of run away spending is left to others. I can assure you no matter what programs or services the Republicans chose to cut, Ed Allard would be demonizing them even if it was a program to protect the three ringed horny toad.

All the while waxing his sour grapes tune on a two dollar fiddle playing for unhappiness votes in the next election so the Democrat’s TAX and SPEND parade can start all over again. Is it not ironic ? The people who did most to put us in the financial mess we are in requiring painful actions demonize the people trying to get us out it.

Democrats promise you the world paid for from an overdrawn checking account, an empty savings account and a maxed out credit card.

Republicans promise you a better world through investment, imagination, inspiration and hard, honest work.

Does Mr. Meade think corporate tax cheats are the good guys?

To the editor, Bob Meade’s tiny letter of April 7 — about Democrats losing our last election to Republicans: this two-party system counts on losers not disappearing and going away. Each party takes its share of winning /losing, regroups, comes back. Surely Bob Meade is around long enough to admit that reality. His Republican choices took leadership this time. November 6, 2012, gives new opportunity to all. Democrats will be there. I personally hope that Progressive Democrats will be there.

What does Bob Meade think of corporations not paying their taxes?

Here’s a short list of federal revenues lost to the tune of $21.7-billion. General Electric didn’t pay $5.2 -billion on their profits. Bank of America didn’t pay $1.6-billion on their profits. Veri-

zon didn’t pay $8.4-billion on their profits. Citigroup didn’t pay $6.6-billion on their profits. Right there we lost revenue that would have saved crazy cuts on teacher training, early childhood programs, job training for the unemployed. These numbers are from TrueMajority.org and highlight corporate tax loopholes.

Does Bob Meade forgive corporate tax cheats because these corporations like Republican administrations best?

Does he think of corporate tax cheats as good guys? Their CEOs are from the right party?

Won’t corporate tax cheats be happy if the government shuts down and regulators of all kinds sit, furloughed, at home!

Something is wrong when this country can’t do right by its people To the editor, Why is Gitmo still in operation?

These terrorists are leading a good life while we the taxpayers are paying to keep them where they are. None of them deserve human treatment. We even gave them the Koran to read.

What is wrong with this picture? Do we not have a backbone anymore to do the right thing instead of giving those terrorists the royal treatment? I am sure if it were the other way around there would not be any Gitmo or treating us nice. ENOUGH already!

throwing away taxpayers money on worthless people.

The LIBERALS are bad news.

Again they are part of the problem in this country. Gitmo should have been done away with long ago. Instead we keep them at Gitmo while our boys are dying trying to save everyone else.

Something is wrong when this country cannot do the right thing by it’s people. It is no wonder why the government is going to shut down. We are too busy being police to the whole world. I thought charity should begin see next page

Role of Lakes Region Community Services would be hit hard by House budget

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Services to half of the developmentally disabled clients served by Lakes Region Community Services would be reduced or eliminated and the agency’s payroll would be trimmed by more than 10-percent if cuts to the 2012-13 state budget recommended by the House of Representatives are not restored.

Christine Santaniello, executive director of Lakes Region Community Services, said yesterday that the House budget would reduce state funding, along with federal matching funds, for developmental services by $30-million in fiscal year 2012 and by $48.5-million in fiscal year, spread among 10 area agencies.

Lakes Region Community Services, a non-profit corporation founded in 1975, serves some 1,200 individuals and families touched by developmental disabilities, acquired brain disorders and autism throughout Belknap County and 13 towns in Grafton County. Santaniello said that the agency’s annual budget of $21-million, much of which is applied to the long-term care of those requiring round-the-clock services throughout the year, would be reduced by $1.9-million, or nine-percent.

Noting that 80-percent of clients live at home, Santaniello stressed that the services provided by the agency enable the developmentally disabled to live with their families and in their communities with much greater independence and at far less cost than an institutional setting. In 2009 the national average cost of institutional care provided by states was $190,779 per person, more than the $178,417 in Massachusetts and less than the $359,393 in Connecticut, the only New England states operating institutions. By comparison, community based care in New Hampshire costs $123 per person per day or $44,791 per year.

Santaniello said that the proposed budget reductions would weigh on a variety of services. Families could lose support services like respite and after school care, which enable working parents to maintain their employment. Reductions in day and independent living services, which enable clients to work and volunteer, would erode their learned skills and distance them from the community while depriving their parents of the support they require to work outside the home.

Sanataniello said that the cuts would restore the wait lists for those with developmental disabilities and acquired brain disorders. The developmental disabilities wait list consists of young adults graduating from high school at 21 and older adults living at home cared for by aging parents or relatives, who require services beyond what their families can provide. The acquired brain disorder wait list consists of adults, many of whom are in expensive skilled nursing facilities. Last year the wait lists were eliminated by legislation providing funding for those eligible for services within 90 days. Without funding for two years, the lists are projected to grow to at least 500 and perhaps 1,000. “They will languish on wait lists for months, even years, without adequate funding,” Santaniello said.

Likewise, the House budget eliminates funding to clear the wait list for in-home support for children, more than half of them with autism, whose care has an annual average cost of $20,000. Santaniello warned that without funding, families may turn to Medicaid, which provides licensed nursing personnel at much greater cost to the state.

Saantiello said that cuts in funding to assist families caring for developmentally disabled relatives of all ages living at home with medical and housing costs could add to the pressures on municipal welfare departments. from preceding page at home. Until we can clean our own mess up we should be minding our business!! Fighting three wars now is sucking us DRY! What will it take to get this done? Wake up GOVERNMENT! It is we the people, not you.

Anna DeRose Moultonborough

Finally, the budget proposes reducing the number of “administrative units” serving area agencies like Lakes Region Community Services from 10 to seven, without designating the specific agencies that would be consolidated. Santaniello said that should the administration of her agency be moved from not only

from Laconia but from the catchment area itself, working relationships with partners like Lakes Region General Hospital and Genesis Behavorial Heath would be strained, weakening the network of medical and ancillary services in the community. see next page

Dogs chase, bite Belmont boy while he’s jogging

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — A 12-year-old boy who was jogging on Jamestown Road Wednesday afternoon was bitten by two German Shepard dogs that apparently escaped from a pen.

Robin Sanborn said she picked up her son Jeremy from lacrosse practice and let him out of the car on Jamestown so he could jog the rest of the way home.

She said she and her younger son were driving slow and watching him when the two dogs came running after him as he ran.

Sanborn, a longtime dog owner herself, said the dogs didn’t seem like they were growling and their hair was standing up but Jeremy “probably began running faster and they began chasing him.”

She said the grabbed his pants leg and knocked him down but she, her other son and a male passerby, chased the dogs back toward their home on nearby Coons Point Road.

As far as she knows, Sanborn said the dogs had never escaped their pen before and her only issue with them was barking — but because she has dogs as well she said she can’t really complain.

Sanborn said Jeremy actually walked the rest of the way to the house and it wasn’t until he took down his pants that he realized how severe the bites were.

“He had two really good-sized gashes on the back of his leg and thigh” she said.

She said she called 9-1-1 and police and firefighters arrived. She learned from the responding officer that the dogs were up-to-date on all of their shots.

The youngster was taken to the Lakes Region General Hospital by ambulance and received a total of 34 stitches.

“I don’t necessarily want (the dogs) destroyed but I don’t want them to bite anyone else,” Sanborn said, noting her son is athletic and if the dogs had done this to a smaller, younger child the results “could have been so much worse.”

She said Jeremy went to school yesterday morning but was told he couldn’t play lacrosse or go running for at least 10 days.

In a written statement to local media, Belmont Police Chief Vincent Baiocchetti said police are continuing to investigate and anyone with any information is asked to call Patrol Officer Joel Pickowitz at 267-8350.

SYRIA from page 2 Syrian authorities to refrain from attacks on peaceful protesters.

“Furthermore, the arbitrary arrests, detention, and torture of prisoners that has been reported must end now, and the free flow of information must be permitted so that there can be independent verification of events on the ground,” he said.

The calls for reform have shaken the regime of President Bashar Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for more than 40 years. Assad, a Britishtrained eye doctor, inherited power from his father 11 years ago and tried to help the country emerge from years of international isolation and lift Soviet-

style economic restrictions.

But despite early promises of social and political change, Assad has slipped back into the autocratic ways of his father.

As the wave of protests have gathered steam, Assad has offered some limited concessions — firing local officials and forming committees to look into replacing the country’s despised emergency laws, which allow the regime to arrest people without charge. On Thursday, he granted citizenship to thousands of Kurds, fulfilling a decades-old demand of the country’s long-ostracized minority.

But those gestures have failed to mollify a growsee next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

from preceding page Santaniello projected that the cuts would require the agency to eliminate 40 its 350 full-time and part-time employees.

Above all, Santaniello emphasized the impact of diminished services on clients and their families. In a memorandum to Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, she calculated the toll on one woman and her family.

Ann, who is developmentally disabled, will soon leave school and no longer receive the services the school district provides. She will join the wait list.

Without services her physical and mental capacities will likely regress and her medical condition will deteriorate. For Ann to remain at home her mother, who carries the family’s health insurance, would have to leave her job. The family would forgo

$31,200 in income along with health insurance. The family would become eligible for Medicaid, but it would not cover all the medical costs they are likely to incur. The family has no savings and the loss of income could put their home at risk. If Ann’s family cannot meet the additional expenses, they may turn to the town for assistance.

Santaniello explained that Ann’s parents are willing to partner with the state to support their daughter, which would cost the public $30,000 a year. She said that the cost to Ann, her family, the community and ultimately the state of failing to provide the services is much greater.

New Hampshire spends $3.78 per $1,000 of total personal income to assist the developmentally disabled, the least of the six New England states and less than the national average of $4.35.

SHOOTING from page one interviewed by police around midday.

Lieutenant Matt Canfield said that fracas was “definitely fueled by drugs” and indicated that apart from McNeil charges would likely be filed against one or two of the others involved, including Twombly.

Moyer said that police recovered a vehicle believed to James R. McNeil belong to McNeil and, pursu- (Laconia Police photo) ing several leads, searched a number of residences in Laconia and nearby towns.

He said that McNeil was known to police and has an extensive criminal history.

Captain Bill Clary, who heads the detective division, and a half dozen officers went to an address on Messer Street around 3 p.m. Friday but came away empty-handed. “We haven’t found him,” Clary said, “but we’re still looking.”

Meanwhile, Canfield said police throughout the state have been alerted to watch for McNeil and his picture and description have been entered into the database of the National Crime Information Center maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. from preceding page movement that is raising the ceiling on its demands for concrete reforms and free elections.

“The protests are about Syrians wanting freedom after 42 years of repression,” said Murhaf Jouejati, a Syria expert at George Washington University. “Mr. Assad may fire all the people he wants, this still doesn’t touch on the basic issues and the basic demands of the protesters.”

Witness accounts out of Syria could not be independently confirmed because the regime has restricted media access to the country, refusing to grant visas to journalists and detaining or expelling reporters already in the country.

Daraa has largely been sealed off and telephone calls go through only sporadically.

But residents, who spoke to The Associated Press independently of each other, said mosques were turned into makeshift hospitals to help tend to hundreds of wounded.

One man who helped ferry the dead and wounded to the city’s hospital said he counted at least 13 corpses. “My clothes are soaked with blood,” he said by telephone from Daraa.

Like most activists and witnesses, he requested anonymity for fear of reprisals.

A nurse at the hospital said they had run out of beds; many people were being treated on the floor or in nearby mosques.

Videos posted on YouTube showed demonstrations in at least 15 towns, large and small, across the country. The videos could not be independently confirmed, but they appeared to show the most widespread gatherings since protests began.

City to test soils off Frank Bean Road for toxics

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — City Manager Manager Eileen Cabanel will ask the City Council to transfer $35,000 from the city budget’s contingency account to fund soil testing on the site of abandoned landfills on Frank Bean Road.

Earlier this year the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) ordered the city to address contaminants remaining from the disposal and incineration of waste on land straddling Frank Bean Road and Morin Road during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The area is located just north of the Laconia Ice Arena.

At the same time, the city must undertake an investigation of the site to determine the source, nature, location and extent of waste left from the burn dump on Frank Bean Road and landfill on Morin Road.

Cabanel said that because the dumping operations occurred and ceased before 1981, the city is exempt from the liabilities imposed by subsequent statutes.

However, she acknowledged that if contaminants are found in groundwater on or around the site, they would have to be addressed.

Cabanel said that situation is complicated because the ownership and operation of the dump sites is not altogether clear from the records. For instance, the burn dump may have consisted of separate municipal and commercial operations. Moreover, she said that some contaminants found on the site may have originated well after disposal and incineration

ceased in 1954, when the burn dump was bulldozed flat and capped with gravel and the landfill on Morin Road was opened.

Former New Hampshire Attorney General Greg Smith was representing the city in its ongoing discussions and negotiations with DES. DES approached the city after reviewing a report on the site, which includes nine properties, prepared for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by Weston Solutions, Inc. DES and EPA began exploring the area in 2007 out of concern that because the abandoned dumping grounds were not lined or capped, rainfall over the years could cause contaminants to leach into the surrounding soil and groundwater.

Weston found debris from the burn dump extended northward from the triangular lot between Frank Bean Road and Morin Road to four of the five parcels along the west side of Frank Bean Road. Elevated levels of arsenic, lead and zinc, together polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) — present in coal, oil and tar — were found in the soil. One test boring revealed soil saturated with petroleum and another showed volatile organic compounds associated with industrial solvents.

The Morin Road landfill lay on the east side Morin Road and reached into Gilford, where it bordered an intermittent stream that empties into Durkee Brook. Opened in 1954, the landfill closed in 1966.

There Weston found tires, drums, glass and appliances at the surface along with debris from the burn see next page

Just South of the Belknap Mall

ADAMS from page one Relations Committee, the Boys and Girls Club, the Partners in Prevention-Regional Leadership Team and a coordinator for National Night Out. He is the mentor for the Laconia Middle School weight lifting program.

Adams worked patrol for two years and from 1996 to 1997 became a field training officer. He joined the detective bureau later rising to the rank of sergeant and watch supervisor.

He was promoted to lieutenant in 2008. As chief, he will earn $93,000 annually and serve a one-year probationary period.

Born in New York of an English father and a Mexican mother, Adams spent much of his youth living in Europe and speaks fluent Spanish and “passable” German. He and his wife Tiana have two sons at home.

His promotion and Moyer’s retirement open two positions in the chain of command in the 49-employee department. Moyer and Adams expect both promotions to come from the existing staff.

With the city budget for fiscal year 2012 still uncertain, Adams said he would hope to fill the patrol vacancy ultimately created by Moyer’s departure but would wait and see the final numbers.

Moyer said the department is fully staffed now with 23 patrol officers, five sergeants, five detectives, two lieutenants, two captains and dispatch, prosecution and support staff.

Captains William Clary — who heads the support division and the detective bureau — and Steven

Clarke who heads the patrol and operations division will both remain in their current positions.

Moyer became chief on November 1, 2007, succeeded Tom Oetinger, who headed the department for four years.

A “home town boy”, Moyer joined Laconia police in 1984 and rose through the ranks to a position of captain and commander of the Operations Division before Oetinger stepped down.

SHUTDOWN from page one the principal players in an early test of divided government — Obama in the White House, fellow Democrats in control in the Senate and a new, tea party-flavored Republican majority in the House.

“Republican leaders in the House have only a few hours left to look in the mirror, snap out of it and realize how positively shameful that would be,” Reid said at one point, accusing Republicans of risking a shutdown to pursue a radical social agenda.

For much of the day, Reid and Boehner disagreed about what the disagreement was about.

Reid said there had been an agreement at a White House meeting Thursday night to cut spending by about $38 billion. He said Republicans also were demanding unspecified cuts in health services for lower income women that were unacceptable to Democrats. “Republicans want to shut down our nation’s government because they want to make it harder to get cancer screenings,” he said. “They want to throw women under the bus.”

Boehner said repeatedly that wasn’t the case — it was spending cuts that divided two sides.

“Most of the policy issues have been dealt with, and the big fight is about spending,” he said. “When will the White House and when will Senate Democrats get serious about cutting federal spending.”

By midday Friday, 12 hours before the funding would run out, most federal employees had been told whether they had been deemed essential or would be temporarily laid off in the event of a shutdown.

Obama canceled a scheduled Friday trip to Indianapolis — and a weekend family visit to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia — and kept in touch with both Boehner and Reid.

The standoff began several weeks ago, when the new Republican majority in the House passed legislation to cut $61 billion from federal spending and place numerous curbs on the government.

In the weeks since, the two sides have alternately negotiated and taken time out to pass interim measures.

WISCONSIN from page 2 Supreme Court to the left, increasing the chances that the justices might eventually strike down the law.

They attacked Prosser as a Walker clone and sought to tie him to the governor’s aggressive budget-cutting agenda. At first it looked as if the strategy had worked.

Kloppenburg’s campaign surged, and voter turnout in Tuesday’s election shattered expectations.

Unofficial returns initially showed Kloppenburg with a 204-vote lead out of 1.5 million votes cast.

Then Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus — who worked under Prosser when he was a Republican legislator — announced Thursday she had failed to record 14,000 votes. Those ballots put Prosser ahead by 7,500 votes.

Nickolaus said she made an honest mistake. Still, state election officials dispatched staffers to the county to review Nickolaus’ procedures and confirm the results.

On Friday, county clerks across the rest of the state were still verifying their numbers, too. Final results may not be known for days. Kloppenburg did not concede defeat and began raising money to cover the cost of a potential recount.

Prosser said it would be difficult for Kloppenburg to find another 7,500 in a recount. He said the election wasn’t about Walker or collective bargaining, even though many people wanted it to be.

“I think it was about electing me to the Supreme Court,” Prosser said.

A Walker spokesman echoed Prosser, saying the governor has consistently described the Supreme Court race as being about judicial qualifications, not a referendum on his policies.

If Prosser’s lead holds up, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority would remain intact. It’s impossible to say for sure whether the bloc would uphold the law, but a Prosser victory would, at the very least, give the measure a better chance before the high court.

Meredith woman jumps from second story window during domestic dispute MEREDITH — A Main Street man was ordered held on $6,000 cash only and $50,000 personal recognizance bail after allegedly threatening to kill his girlfriend’s father Thursday evening.

Adam Efthimiou, 32, of 100 Main St. is charged with one felony count of criminal restraint, on misdemeanor Adam Efthimiou count of criminal threatening, (Meredith Police photo) one misdemeanor count of criminal mischief, one misdemeanor count of simple assault and one count of possession of marijuana.

In his affidavit supporting cash bail, Lt. Keith True said police from Meredith, Center Harbor and the N.H. State Police went to 100 Main St. after getting a 9-1-1 phone from a woman who said some one appeared to have broken into her house and “there was blood everywhere.”

An investigation revealed a verbal altercation between Efthimiou and his girlfriend in the apartment of the girlfriend’s father and there had been no assault.

All in the house agreed to go to their separate corners for the evening but police were called back about an hour later when emergency workers were toned to the building for a “report of a female subject that had fallen from a second story window.”

Police believe that after they left the first time, Efthimiou and his girlfriend resumed arguing and she ran upstairs and barricaded herself into her bedroom.

When her father tried to leave the home to get help from police, Ethimiou allegedly grabbed him around the neck and placed a metal object to his chest. he allegedly told the male victim to “get back upstairs or he was going to kill (him) and his daughter.”

Efthimiou allegedly forced the man to the second floor and then started to break down the door of his girlfriend’s barricade bedroom door, breaking the leg from a table that was blocking the door.

The woman jumped from her bedroom window and hurt herself when she hit the ground. She was see next page

Laconia man with considerable record accused of shoplifting at Gilford Walmart

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A Laconia man was arrested yesterday by Gilford Police for allegedly shoplifting from Walmart and giving a false identity to police.

Police said Matthew A. Stark, 22, who has two recent Academy Street addresses, has a warrant on him issued by the Belknap county Sheriff’s Department and an electronic bench warrant for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol with an outstanding $500 bail.

Police affidavits to support cash bail say a man allegedly saw Stark exit Walmart and throw away some things he had allegedly stolen into a trash can. He is said to have fled on foot to the nearby Hanniford supermarket and was described by Walmart employees as wearing a “flannel hoodie.”

Patrol Officer Kevin Baron said he went into Hannaford, spoke with an from preceding page taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment and Efthimiou was charged for the alleged domestic offenses.

During a pat down of his outer garments, police allegedly found marijuana in his pocket.

True said Efthimiou was convicted in obstructing the reporting of a crime and breach of bail in Franklin District court in 2000.True also said he had two 2002 simple assault convictions in Laconia District Court.

True said Efthimiou is unemployed,

employee, and saw Stark, who was now wearing a black T-shirt, holding a gray “hoodie”in his hand.

As Baron was about to speak to he, he said he saw Stark drop the “hoodie” onto a shopping cart while exiting the store.

Baron reached Stark who told him he didn’t have an identification and told Baron he was Thomas Stark. He also told Baron he had not been into Walmart.

The “hoodie” was taken into evidence and the man who originally identified Stark said it appeared to be the same one the man he saw discarding stolen items was wearing.

After Baron viewed a Walmart video surveillance tape, he said it showed a male subject resembling Stark “remove three items from a display and walk(s) out of view.”

A few minutes later the same man leaves Walmart. Baron said the three items had a value of $81.64. had recently been evicted from his Laconia apartment and has no residence in his own name.

Efthimiou’s attorney said he had made arrangements to stay with relatives on Smith Hill Road in Franklin.

After imposing bail, Judge Jim Carroll ordered he have no contact with the girlfriend or her family, refrain from drug and alcohol use, that he not possess any dangerous weapons and that he stay out of Meredith and Laconia unless he is on official court business.

Stark was positively identified back at the Gilford Police Station from prior booking photos. He refused bail and appeared in Laconia District Court yesterday morning.

Affidavits say Stark has criminal

convictions for marijuana possession from 2006 and 2008, second degree assault in 2006, theft by unauthorized taking in 2006, violating terms of probation in 2008 and 2009. He is out see next page

Home Sweet Fenway: Pedroia lifts Red Sox to first win of the season, 9-6 over Yankees BOSTON (AP) — Six losses in the first six games were plenty for feisty Dustin Pedroia.

So the Red Sox sparkplug hit a solo homer in the first inning, starting his team to a 9-6 win over the New York Yankees on Friday and ending Boston’s longest season-opening losing streak since World War II. “I just came in here thinking, ‘We need to find a way to win. I don’t care how we do it. I don’t care if it’s the ugliest win of all time. We need that win,’” Pedroia said, “but we played great, man.”

Pedroia had three hits and three RBIs in the 100th home opener at Fenway Park.

With a full house cheering from the start of pregame player introductions, the Red Sox rapped 12 hits after getting just 35 in their first six games.

They started the season on the road by going 0-6 for the first time since beginning the 1945 season at 0-8.

“It seems like guys were calm, weren’t jumping at the ball,” Pedroia said. “This is our park. We were on the road six days and we didn’t get comfortable.”

The Red Sox had been a popular preseason choice to win the World Series after adding Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez to support what seemed like a strong rotation.

“We have a lot of expectations, too,” Pedroia said.

“We don’t want to let anybody down.”

But the struggles of the starting pitchers continfrom preceding page on two personal recognizance bails from the Laconia Police Department.

He is charged with one felony count of theft by unauthorized taking, two Class A misdemeanor counts of breach of bail and one Class B misdemeanor count of obstructing government justice for providing a fake name.

Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $2,000 cash-only bail.

ued when John Lackey (1-1) gave up six runs in five innings.

He still got the win when Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s run-scoring double broke a 6-all tie in the fifth.

Jonathan Papelbon, coming off his worst season, got the save with a perfect ninth inning as Boston won its seventh straight home opener.

J.D. Drew had given him a three-run cushion with a two-run single in the seventh.

“It feels great,” said a smiling David Ortiz, who went 2 for 4 with an RBI. “We were just waiting to get home so we can win. Just kidding.”

The game started poorly for the Red Sox as Lackey walked the first batter, Brett Gardner, who stole second. After a walk to Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano drove a two-run double to deep center field.

Celtics cruise to easy 104-88 win over lowly Wizards

BOSTON (AP) — Boston coach Doc Rivers wasn’t hiding it. He hopes his team shows up ready Sunday to play a key game.

Rajon Rondo had 20 points and 14 assists to lead the Celtics to a 104-88 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night, setting up a showdown with Miami for the Eastern Conference’s second spot.

“We control our own destiny for the second seed now,” Rivers said. “We’ve got to win our next two games.”

But when he was asked if he was concerned with how his team would play, he didn’t hesitate.

“Yes,” he said. “If we had taken care of business

Paul Pierce (22 points and 12 rebounds) and Kevin Garnett (15 and 11) also had double-doubles for Boston, which remains tied with Miami after the Heat, who host the Celtics on Sunday, beat Charlotte 112-103.

Ray Allen had 13 points, but was just 1 for 6 from 3-point range.

The Celtics never trailed and had a fairly easy time as both teams hardly dug-in defensively for most of the first three quarters.

Boston also showed some pop early as Pedroia hit his first homer of the year just inside the left-field foul pole.

“He gave us a huge lift,” manager Terry Francona said. “We’re down two, he takes a good swing and kind of gets at least a little bit of momentum, a little bit of excitement going.”

The Yankees went ahead 3-1 in the second on doubles by Curtis Granderson and Gardner before the Red Sox scored five runs in the bottom of the inning.

They hadn’t scored more than five in a game in any of their first six losses.

The runs came off Phil Hughes, who was hammered for his second straight outing and lasted just two innings.

“It seemed like everything I threw up there was getting hit around,” he said.

ALL YOU CAN EAT

As of April 1, 2011 there were 1018 residential homes on the market in the Lakes Region towns in this report. As depressing as it was, there was also fresh snow on the ground. The average asking price stood at $548,428 and the median price was $279,900. The current inventory level is equal to a 12 month supply of homes on the market. Last April 1, there were 1070 homes offered at average of $574,932 and a median price of $289,900. Last April there was no snow, the ice was out, and we were already doing yard work. Enough said.

The very first ad ever run in a newspaper was for (you guessed it) a piece of real estate. This ad appeared in the Boston News-Letter on May 8, 1704: “At Oyster-bay on Long-Island in the Province of N.York, There is a very good Fulling-Mill, to be Let or Sold, as also a Plantation, having on it a large new Brick house, and another good house by it for a Kitchin & work house, with a Barn, Stable, etc. a young Orchard, and 20 Acres clear Land.

The Mill is to be Let with or without the Plantation: Enquire of Mr. William Bradford Printer in N.York, and know further.” This ad was probably placed by the owner of the property but I imagine it didn’t take long for real estate agents to start doing their own.

Looking at turn of the century Laconia Democrat newspaper ads in the archives at the Laconia Library can be kind of entertaining. Many of the ads in the early papers were for recognizable products and services we’d see today. There were lots of ads for cereals, soaps, tonics, beer, washing powder, cod liver oils, and even something that made your

hens lay eggs. Early car manufactures along with services and gasoline for the horseless wonders were also big advertisers. But there were numerous ads for cures and elixirs like Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery which was touted to “Lock your door against disease. Gives strength to the stomach, purity to the blood, and life to the lungs.”

An interesting 1920 ad for Gingras Real Estate, who seemed to be the heavy hitter back then, with a headline; “MODERN HOMES” explained that “A man came into our office the other day looking for a tenement. He had moved several times in the last few months and was again asked to vacate.

He said everyone was suspicion of him, his family had no standing in the community, he felt he was an apology among men. His furniture was pretty much demolished from the many times of transfer. Sore and discouraged, he asked, what can I do? Our answer was BUY A HOME. The greatest asset any man can have in the community. Your Opportunity is here, at Sunny Side Park.” It went on to explain about the limited number of moderately priced cottages available constructed at pre-war prices. I wonder if this suspicious looking vagabond was able to actually buy a house? After all, Fannie Mae wasn’t even born yet.

Another 1920’s Gingras ad said “DEPENDANT OR INDEPENDENT, WHICH? Good Real Estate (your judgment may be relied upon to tell you what is good) is an investment to be proud of. The PROFITS are larger, cleaner, and more certain see next page

Pemi Fish and Game Club announces busy spring schedule beginning with two-day clinic April 16 — 17 HOLDERNESS — The Pemi Fish and Game Club has announced its April calendar of events.

On Saturday and Sunday, April 16 and 17, the Pemi will host the Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA) for one of their Appleseed programs. A mix of American history and marksmanship, the two-day clinic is designed to take the student from being a simple rifle owner to being a true rifleman. For men, one day costs $45 and two days is $70; plus a $10 per day range fee for non-Pemi members. For women, the cost is $10 per day plus the range fee for nonPemi members. Juniors under 21 years of age will be charged $5 per day. Law enforcement and active military shoot free if they’re also Pemi members. Otherwise, a $10 per day range fee will be required.

For more information and to pre-register (recommended), contact John Barnes at (888) 221-8628, e-mail NH@appleseedinfo.org, or visit www.appleseedinfo.org.

Also on Saturday, April 16, the Pemi Valley/Lakes Region Friends of NRA Volunteer Fundraising Committee will hold the 13th Annual Fundraising Dinner and Auction at the Common Man Inn in Plymouth beginning at 5:30 p.m. For tickets or details, call Chairman Stu Pitts at 726-3037.

A mandatory IDPA training session will be held for new competitors at the clubhouse from 9 a.m. — noon on Saturday, April 16. The first of six IDPA competitions hosted by the Club this year will be held on the club outdoor ranges on Saturday, April 23. Matches will include 4 IDPA pistol stages and at least one side match for back-up gun, shotgun, or rifle. Match fee is $20, side matches are $5. Participants should arrive between 8:30 — 9:15 a.m. All shooters will be assigned to a squad, with shooting starting promptly at 9:30 a.m. For further information, call Bob Klimm at 6309408 or e-mail rklimm@strat-edg.com.

On Saturday, April 23 Pemi Fish and Game Club will once again conduct a basic firearms safety class for young rifle shooters 10 — 15 years old. The empha-

sis will be on the fundamentals of safe gun handling and basic marksmanship using each shooter’s own .22 caliber rifle (no pistols) of any action type, although semi-automatic rifles will be fired single-shot. Ammunition and targets will be provided by the Club and a $10 range fee will be charged. Parents are encouraged to help coach their kids under the supervision of an NRA Certified Rifle Instructor. The class will be held on the Club 50-yard outdoor range from 9:30 a.m. — noon. For further information and to sign up, e-mail Bob Anderson at laxqc@yahoo.com.

The next program meeting of the Pemi Fish and Game Club will be held at the clubhouse at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 28. Don Miller, the Large Lakes Fisheries Biologist II out of Region 2 in New Hampton, will speak about the Granite State fisheries and address any other fishing topics attendees may have.

On Saturday, April 30, from 9:30 a.m. —1 p.m., the club will run the popular Women on Target program.

This is a half-day introduction to firearms safety and recreational shooting for women who have little or no firearms experience. It consists of a brief classroom section taught by NRA certified firearms instructors, followed by practice at the range with .22 pistols. At the range, participants will receive one-on-one coaching from an experienced shooter. Use of .22 pistols and ammo will be provided. Cost is $15 for club members, $20 for non-members. Registration is limited. Call Ev Tate at (978) 443-5429 or e-mail evtate@verizon.net.

Also on Saturday, April 30, the Club will host the first of several 200 yard CLA (Cowboy Lever Action: rimmed, center fire cartridges) silhouette matches for 2011. Registration for this NRA-sanctioned competition, open to the public, is at 9 a.m. Firing will commence at 10 a.m.

The entry fee is $10 per match, free for first time shooters with the purchase of an NRA classification book. For additional information, call John Bartlett at 786-9720 or e-mail bartlett357@roadrunner.com.

from preceding page than anything else. A good real estate purchase will place you on firmer footing of independence in less time than any other SAFE way. Opportunity will not break the door in to get at you.” I guess there were no home inspectors around to tell you what was a good piece of real estate. See how far we have come?

Most everyone believes that now is a great time to buy a home with low prices, low interest rates, and lots of inventory. It is a reoccurring theme through many of these ads as real estate is and always has been a sound long term investment. A May 28, 1920 ad touted “Great Opportunities” and listed a dozen homes and cottages for sale in Laconia from $2,100 to $8,000. One read; “Pleasantly situated home of eight rooms with all the modern improvements, natural wood finish, stable and poultry house, two acres of land, an abundance of fruit, excellent neighborhood in a nearby street, an attractive proposition for development. Price, $8,000.”

Gingras ads in 1930 and 1931 at the start of the Great

Depression touted unequivocally “NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY A HOME.” But you could by a “Cozy cottage of seven rooms near the business center of Lakeport. Hot air heated. Bath room with hot and cold water, large corner lot. Price $3,000.” It’s kind of hard to relate to those prices and I wonder if they were good deals at the time?

Looking at a little more recent Citizen newspaper published in 1976, I found an ad that we all could relate to. It was for Gagne Construction who apparently were also REALTORS®. It read “Governor’s Island – Elegant new waterfront home in Winnipesaukee’s most prestigious location. Three bedrooms, guest suite, four baths, fireplaces, laundry. Built for the discrimination buyer; you’ll love the gorgeous landscaping, patio and beach. A wonderful new world of better living.” This home was offered at $149,500 which would probably be about 1/10th of today’s value. It is ads like these that make us all wish that we had invested more way back when…

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis community.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One thing leads to another. You may not be able to change the “another” on its own, but you can change the “one thing.” Once you figure out the trigger, you can avoid it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will learn that someone needs your particular talent. Getting the chance to be creative will energize you. Once you get into the zone, you’ll stay there all day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You will do what you love and bring so much of yourself to it that you will lose yourself in the moment. Responsibilities, worries and time itself will cease to exist for you while you follow your bliss.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will notice that something is missing.

Maybe it was never there to begin with, but now you realize that you would like it to be there. And you have every right to ask for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be keenly aware of the ebb and flow of action. And while you realize that the doldrums are a normal part of life, you are still proactive in keeping them away.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 9). You see two distinct realities ahead, and you choose the most appealing. You’ll face your fears and conquer a significant one before the change of seasons. Athletic skill is featured in May. An extra source of income opens in June -- start small and build slowly. Romantic notions turn into a reality in October. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 25, 18, 29 and 41.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Each person sees what he wants to see. A small amount of evidence is all that’s needed, and the mind will fill in the rest. You will use this principle to your advantage as you paint the picture you want to paint about yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your emotions will be engaged in the action of the day, which makes all you do seem effortless. You will go with your feelings, and as a result, yesterday’s unsatisfied wishes will be fulfilled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The task you choose to take on did not come with an instruction manual. However, there have been many books written on the subject that will serve you just as well. Reading will change your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Subtlety can be cool, but in today’s circumstance, it will be better if everyone knows what you did right. They will follow suit, and big improvements can be made across the board.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a strong need to help people. Choose the target for your generosity well.

Also keep in mind that what helps one person might hinder the next person.

Cater your actions accordingly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a certain behavior you would like to change, but you are having trouble.

Think on the topic, and write down your thoughts. First you will get clarity, and then you will find solutions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Spontaneous chats with friends, neighbors and acquaintances will whittle away the time. This may prove the best use of your minutes, after all. You’ll learn, connect and create a shared sense of

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: We are in our 80s and have known “Ed and Jane” for 15 years. They sometimes invite us to spend a couple of nights at their condo in another state, and we reciprocate. It went fairly well until the past few years.

Now the first thing Jane mentions is how much weight I’ve gained, and the conversation is always about food. The last time we visited, my husband and I brought Chinese takeout.

After Ed and Jane finished their soup, they were “stuffed” and insisted they couldn’t eat another bite.

When they come here, it’s the same thing. I try to serve small portions and healthy meals, but it’s always “way too much.” Jane and Ed are really skinny. I am a little heavier than I should be because I don’t get enough physical activity, but I try to eat nutritious, well-balanced meals.

Jane and Ed now want to visit again, and I’m already losing sleep over the thought. We have an extra bedroom, but my husband hasn’t been well lately and needs his own space, so I’ve taken the second room. If guests come, I’d have to sleep on the couch. And the extra grocery shopping, laundry and cooking wears me out. I particularly don’t want to take on the additional burden when I know the visit will be all about food. We no longer converse much with Ed and Jane except for a few e-mails now and then. How can I tactfully tell them I don’t want their company right now without causing a lot of hurt feelings? -- A Slightly Portly Senior Citizen Dear Senior: Inform Ed and Jane that the situation in your home has changed and, so sorry, you no longer have room for them to stay with you. Give them the names of nearby hotels.

The next time they mention your weight or your food, tell them you appreciate their interest in your health, but you’d prefer not to discuss it. Then deliberately and obviously change the subject. But do it with a smile.

Dear Annie: My daughter keeps buying things she doesn’t

need and spending money before paying her bills. At the moment, she is in foreclosure because she buys junk before paying her mortgage. She and her children may have to move in with us.

I have a lot of health issues, and the stress over this is killing me. Jane has a decent job. She just cannot manage her money and constantly lies to justify her purchases.

We have helped her out financially several times, but this time we decided to let her be responsible for her own mess.

She is going through a divorce and could afford to keep her home if she would just stop spending. She is a wonderful mother, and the kids do well in school. Please help us. -Ohio Dear Ohio: Compulsive spending can have many causes, including poor impulse control, bipolar disease or a way to mask depression or anxiety. Your daughter’s pending divorce may have driven her over the edge. Please suggest she contact Debtors Anonymous (debtorsanonymous.org) at 1-800-4212383.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Gotta Do What You Gotta Do,” who said she tried to kill her mother-in-law with kindness, to no avail, and finally moved across the country to be rid of her.

When I was engaged, I had a dim view of my fiance’s parents. I had never met them, yet had heard plenty of griping about them from my boyfriend when he needed to vent. Before I traveled to his town to meet his family, I decided that no matter how fake I had to be, I was going to be nice.

Fast-forward a few years. My mother-in-law has become closer to me than my own mother. She is kind-hearted and compassionate and simply wants to love us. It is well worth the effort to treat your mother-in-law with respect and decency right from the start. Things can change. -- A

QuickBooks for Small Business workshop presented on April 20 by SCORE and Northway Bank LACONIA — Lakes Region SCORE and Northway Bank will host a QuickBooks for Small Business workshop at the Busiel Community Room at One Mill Plaza from 5 — 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20.

Designed as an introduction to financial management followed by use of the popular accounting software QuickBooks, participants will learn essential finance concepts and terms, why accounts are important, QuickBooks setup and operations, using reports within QuickBooks, and managing essential tasks.

The workshop will be led by Kandi Edson and Marsha Felder, SCORE Lakes Region Counselors. Edson as a C.P.A. has a variety of audit, tax, and consulting experience in many industries. Her practice covers tax issues, strategies, and tax planning for businesses. Felder, as co-founder of a successful cable system

company, managed a wide array of small business operations where her vast experience will provide a real world perspective. She has been a QuickBooks user for over 20 years and provides QB consulting to small business owners.

“When we meet with clients and review their plans for bookkeeping and accounting operations, the great majority of them inform us that they use QuickBooks, but they do not fully grasp the capability of the software in simplifying accounting and reporting tasks,” said Jim Garden, SCORE counselor.

“We hope that this workshop provides those insights and answers.”

The workshop fee is $25 if pre-registered or $30 at the door. Space is limited and pre-registration is encouraged. To learn more, contact SCORE Lakes Region by calling 524-3057 or e-mail info@bcedc.org.
