GILFORD — Police report a Stark Street man shot and wounded a bear Saturday night after he saw the bear attacking his neighbor’s chickens. Det. Sgt Chris Jacques said police responded at just after 8 p.m. and searched the area for the bear. He said police found it, it had been wounded by the shotgun blast, and they euthanized it. Jacques said the N.H. Department of see BEAR page 17

School board quickly promotes Terri Forsten to replace Bob Champlin as Laconia’s superintendent of schools BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After asking fellow members for comments and getting none, School Board Chair Joe Cormier yesterday morning nominated Terri Forsten to be the next superintendent of SAU 30, the Laconia School District. A unanimous vote followed. Forsten, of Concord, who has been the assistant superintendent in Laconia for seven years, will be paid between $116,000 to $132,000 annually depending on a pending contract negotiation between her and a subcommittee of the board. She currently
earns $96,700. Cormier said it was his desire to “remain competitive” and he said he did a salary survey of other Lakes Region communities as well as communities that are similar in size to Laconia. He said this was the range with the bulk of area superintendent earning at the

higher level of the agreed upon scale. The community was shocked last week when current Superintendent Bob Champlin announced his resignation at the end of this school year because of health issues. He will remain superintendent until June 30, when Forsten will assume the role and Cormier said he has been in phone contact with the district administrators regularly. Champlin earned $115,000 annually, having forgone a raise in the past three years as has Forsten. He was scheduled to earn around $117,000 in the fiscal year that see FORSTEN page 14

Pop TV psychologist Joyce Brothers dies at 85
NEW YORK (AP) — Joyce Brothers, the pop psychologist who pioneered the television advice show in the 1950s and enjoyed a long and prolific career as a syndicated columnist, author, and television and film personality, has died. She was 85. Brothers died Monday of respiratory failure in New York City, according to her longtime Los Angeles-based publicist, Sanford Brokaw. Brothers first gained fame on a game show and went on to publish 15 books and make cameo appearances on popular shows including “Happy Days” and “The Simpsons.” She visited Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show” nearly 100 times. The way Brothers liked to tell it, her multimedia career came about “because we were hungry.” It was 1955. Her husband, Milton Brothers, was still in medical school and Brothers had just given up her teaching positions at Hunter College and Columbia see DR JOYCE page 12

Philly abortion doctor guilty of killing 3 babies PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An abortion doctor was convicted Monday of firstdegree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his grimy, “house of horrors” clinic. In a case that became a grisly flashpoint in the nation’s abortion debate, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the overdose death of an abortion patient. He was cleared in the death of a fourth baby, who prosecutors say let out a whimper before
the doctor cut the spinal cord. Gosnell, who portrayed himself as an advocate for poor and desperate women in an impoverished West Philadelphia neighborhood, appeared hopeful before the verdict was read and calm afterward. The jury reached its verdict on its 10th day of deliberations. It will return May 21 to hear evidence on whether Gosnell should get the death penalty. Gosnell attorney Jack McMahon called it a “very difficult case” to defend and said there was “a little bit of feeling on the
defense part of what salmon must feel swimming upstream.” “There’s a lot of emotion. You have the baby factor, which is a big problem. The media has been overwhelmingly against him,” he said. But noting that Gosnell was cleared on some of the charges, McMahon said the jurors “obviously took their job seriously.” Prosecutors looked elated, but District Attorney Seth Williams declined comment until after the sentencing phase, citing a see DOCTOR page 14
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans pushed ahead Monday with their investigation of the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year as President Barack Obama asserted that GOP charges of a cover-up are baseless. The latest Republican focus is the independent review that slammed the State Department for inadequate security at the installation before the twin nighttime attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Ste-
vens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked the two authors of the investigation — veteran diplomat Thomas Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — to meet privately with committee staff to answer questions about their review. Democrats countered that if Congress wants to talk to them, Issa should
hold a full open hearing. Republicans insist that the Obama administration misled Congress and the American people in the immediate aftermath of the attack, trying to play down an act of terrorism that would reflect poorly on Obama weeks before the 2012 presidential election. Emails disclosed Friday showed that State Department and other senior administration officials pushed for references see BEHGHAZI page 16

New Orleans police offer $10k reward to find shooter of 19 on Mother’s Day NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans police hope a $10,000 reward and blurry surveillance camera images will lead to arrests in a Mother’s Day shooting that wounded 19 people and showed again how
far the city has to go to shake a persistent culture of violence that belies the city’s festive image. Angry residents said gun violence — which has flared at two other city celebra-

Calif. dad wants to see evidence before he believes son, 12, murdered sister, 8
VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — The father of a 12-year-old boy accused of fatally stabbing his 8-yearold sister said Monday he will believe his son is innocent until he sees evidence that proves otherwise. Barney Fowler told The Associated Press the family is backing the boy, who was arrested Saturday after a crime that terrified this Central California foothill community. “Until they have the proper evidence to show it’s my son, we’re standing behind him,” Fowler said. “If they have the evidence, well that’s another story. We’re an honest family.” The boy told investigators on April 27 that he encountered a random attacker in the family home while his father was attending a Little League game. He described the man as tall with long gray hair. The boy said the man fled on foot and he found his sister, Leila Fowler, bleeding. Leila’s death set off an intense manhunt in the rural community where some residents had moved to escape big city crime. The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office spent more than 2,000 man-hours amassing evidence and searching door-to-door. Residents of the rural community began locking their doors and calling authorities when they thought they saw men who fit the description. They also held fundraisers for the Fowler family and turned out by the thousands for a candlelight vigil in Leila’s honor. “We’re thankful to the community and all they’ve done for my daughter,” Barney Fowler said. He echoed comments made earlier Monday by his son, Justin Fowler, 19, who told the AP the family was in shock and extremely sad about the boy’s arrest. “We’re just in a fog,” Justin Fowler said. Rumors began spreading last week around town that the 12-year-old was a suspect. The AP is withholding his name because he is a juvenile. “I know there were a bunch of rumors going around saying it could possibly be him but nobody wanted to say that he could do that,” said Maureen Lourenco, whose children attend middle school with the boy. “I have a 12-year-old son and my daughter’s 14 and I just can’t fathom them doing that.” Residents say the Fowlers are good neighbors
who never caused any problems. Now after fearing for weeks that a random intruder had committed a heinous crime in their midst, they’re dealing with another kind of reality. “To kill a little girl? Eight years old? I don’t understand how” they handle that, neighbor Arturo Magallon said. People across the mountain community were relieved there had been an arrest, and the crime did not appear to be the work of an intruder. “I see a lot of people now starting to walk again like it used to be before,” Magallon said. Investigators initially maintained the boy was being questioned only as a witness. The Fowler family is now trying to cope with what could be a double tragedy. “We’re just trying to stay positive, but it’s hard,” Justin Fowler said. Days after his sister’s killing, the 12-year-old
brother appeared at a vigil for her. Justin was photographed with the name “Leila” written on his forearm. Barney Fowler attended with his fiance, Krystal Walters. “We’re a strong family,” Barney Fowler said Monday. “We’re staying strong.” On Monday, counselors were talking to the siblings’ classmates at Toyon Middle School. “Our kids are experiencing a lot of mixed emotions,” said Superintendent Mark Campbell. “We have a degree of ease that it’s not a random assailant, but it’s a double whammy from our school perspective. We lost a student and we stand to lose another. It’s a lot for our kids to process.” Barney Fowler had said he planned to address the media Tuesday at the sheriff’s substation in Valley Springs, but sheriff’s officials said in a brief statement late Monday that the news conference was canceled.
IRS official didn’t reveal tea party targeting to Congress WASHINGTON (AP) — Acting Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Steven T. Miller repeatedly failed to tell Congress that tea party groups were being inappropriately targeted, even after he had been briefed on the matter. The IRS said Monday that Miller was first informed on May, 3, 2012, that applications for tax-exempt status by tea party groups were inappropriately singled out for extra, sometimes burdensome scrutiny. At least twice after the briefing, Miller wrote letters to members of Congress to explain the process of reviewing applications for tax-exempt status without revealing that tea party groups had been targeted. On July 25, 2012, Miller testified before the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee but again was not forthcoming on the issue — despite being asked about it. At the hearing, Rep. Kenny Marchant, R-Texas, told Miller that some politically active tax-exempt groups in his district had complained about being harassed. Marchant did not explicitly ask if tea party groups were being targeted. But he did ask how applications were handled. Miller responded, “We did group those organizations together to ensure consistency, to ensure quality. We continue to work those cases,” according to a transcript on the committee’s website. He added, “It is my hope that some of the noise that we heard earlier this year has abated as we continue to work through these cases.” Earlier, Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., had raised concerns with the IRS about complaints that tea party groups were being harassed.

Happy Birthday President Truman On his desk in the oval office, President Harry S. Truman placed a sign that read, “The Buck Stops Here.” Perhaps more than any other president, at least of modern times, Truman took that sign seriously. He was a man with a strong backbone who didn’t shy away from making the tough decisions. Although he was ever the staunch Democrat, his decisions weren’t “political”, he made them because they were the right things to do. Harry Truman was born on May 8, 1884, and started life as a farmer. While working on the family farm, he joined the Missouri National Guard in 1905, and was called to active duty, as a Field Artillery Captain during World War 1. After the war he stayed in the Army Reserves and eventually attained the rank of Colonel. As a bit of trivia, while he was in the army, each soldier had to sign the payroll as he received his monthly pay. The payroll form required a first name, middle initial, and a last name. It was during that time that Harry Truman “adopted” the middle initial “S”, as his parents hadn’t given him a middle name. For the rest of his life, he used his military signature, including the adopted letter S. In 1934, and again in 1940. Truman was elected as a senator from Missouri. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was running for his fourth term, selected Truman to be his vice presidential running mate in the 1944 election. Less than three months after being sworn in, in April of 1945, Truman was elevated to the office of president when Roosevelt died. Shortly thereafter, the war in Europe ended and all eyes turned to ending the war with Japan. Truman used neutral parties to petition Japan for their unconditional surrender, advising them that we could unleash devastating destruction upon them. Japan refused and intelligence reports were that they were “digging in”, preparing for an allied invasion of their country. Truman asked what the cost would be in allied and Japanese lives if we were to have a conventional invasion of the Japanese homeland. The estimates he received were that up to ten million Japanese citizens would lose their lives, as would up to one million allied forces. The president made the decision, and the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, on August 6, 1945. After that, neutral emissaries again petitioned Japan for their surrender and they again refused. On
August 9, 1945, Truman ordered the second atomic bomb to be dropped on Nagasaki. Japan offered their surrender on August 14th. The decision to use atomic weapons was perhaps the most difficult decision a man has ever had to make. Looking back, it may be argued that the decision may have actually saved millions of lives. Truman was a man of decisions. For example . . . It was Truman who made the decision to fully integrate the services. Prior to that, people of color in the military were primarily used in food services or support positions, and housed separately. (There we some fighting units however, such as the Tuskegee Airmen, that performed nobly in fighting roles, albeit on a segregated basis.) It was Truman who went to the aid of South Korea when that country was invaded by North Korea in 1950. (Note: The last time Congress declared an official act of war was against Japan, then Germany, and subsequently, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania, in early 1942. The Korean war was called a “police action”.) It was also Truman who rebuffed and accepted the resignation of General Mac Arthur who had proposed using atomic weapons against the North Koreans. It was Truman who developed the plan to help rebuild Europe. Knowing that he was personally unpopular, Truman named it the “Marshall Plan”, after his Secretary of State, the highly respected General George C. Marshall, essentially assuring that the Congress would appropriate the funds necessary to accomplish the task. It was Truman who, after the Soviets blocked road, rail, and water access to west Berlin, directed the Berlin air lift, essentially flying cargo aircraft round-the-clock for fifteen months, each day bringing in the over 2,000 tons of food and other essential items needed for the survival of the west Berliners. It was Truman who first recognized the state of Israel in May of 1948, following the passage of United Nations Resolution 181 at the end of November, 1947. Former Oklahoma quarterback and later a Congressman, J. C. Watts, used to talk about “doing the right thing, even when no one is looking”. If he were alive today, that description would aptly describe Harry S. Truman, 33rd President of the United States. Happy birthday, Mr. President. (Bob Meade is a Laconia resident.)
LETTERS Quite sure people who voted for Ayotte are happy with her actions To the editor, So much condemnation of Senator Ayotte in recent letters and TV ads. I wonder, why wouldn’t these letters instead be praising President Obama, extolling his actions and bold leadership. After all he issued 23 executive orders back in January (reference my letter of Jan. 18, 2013, Sun page 7). Bolder action by Obama, such as what F.D.R. was inclined to take with a stroke of his pen which spurred his Congress into action, may yet be forthcoming. Giving praise when and where it is due is a positive thing guiding others in a positive way. Senator Shaheen has I’m sure done much to be praised, such as voting her party line faithfully. The ads and letters tell us nothing. As to Ayotte’s representing N.H., I’m quite sure the majority which voted her in are satisfied with her actions. As to Obama’s promised transparency, he allowed some but only as humor during the Correspondents Dinner on April 27th. Stating he was a young socialist (past tense), suggesting he’s an old(er) socialist now, just humor. Back in July of 2008, campaigning
in Colorado Obama stated, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Today his administration’s departments — from the Department of Homeland Security to Social Security — are buying up tens of millions of rounds of ammunition, enough it is estimated to expend 5.5 million rounds a month for the next 24 years. Some think it is a bit quirky to say the least, it may just be there is extra funds available from his sequester program (which Shaheen voted for). Again, I’d like to read from some of the letter writers the good and positive things that socialist governments around the world have achieved in the last 100 years. One thing about them is, at the cost of tens of millions of lives, they have made capitalist out of all but a small handful, even if they continue to be authoritarian, single partied.

Industrial wind power around Newfound is a travesty we’ll regret To the editor, On May 3, I kayaked around Newfound Lake. This is a stunning and unique lake — it not only offers great beauty but also offers me a free drink during my expedition. It has always been my favorite lake and to me it’s likely the last summer to kayak this gem before its viewshed is ruined by industrial wind turbines. Its sweeping 360 degree water views from Bristol to Hebron are spectacular! Newfound Lake is so highly regarded that many resident, both past and present, have donated their lands in hopes to preserve the lake’s charm. Yet in spite of this — the state is now promoting industrial wind turbine sites all around this “extraordinary” and “special place”. The promotion of the Groton Wind Farm with its 24 industrial turbines was done quietly and quickly. To many of us it was a surprise! I believe it’s all in the wind developers planning approach — because they announced all four wind projects shortly after the summer residents left.
residents are valued — “YES” — your voices count and should be heard on this matter. If all proposed projects get built out, this wonderful, stunningly scenic place will be littered with 125 huge industrial wind turbines surrounding it. The viewshed will be ruined for the next 20 years. I have summered in Bridgewater since the early 1970s. Many of you don’t know me... but you can see that I have a passionate love for this lake. When my parents first discovered this lake — they were awed by its spectacular beauty. I strongly believe that industrial wind power developments around the lake is a travesty that we will come to regret. I am angry that the political climate of today has allowed such unjustified destruction of our Lakes Region to take place. Please join me and the efforts of “New Hampshire Wind Watch” in battling this. You owe it to your soul... I ended my kayak trip that day and wrote this letter. Just goes to show you — the lake is also a great place to think. Ray Cunningham

LETTERS Can’t sue manufacturer over product that works as promised To the editor, Here on Friday, in the letters, Bernadette Loesch asks me by name to answer her question: How much firepower does a citizen need to protect their home? That’s an honest question and I’ll give her my honest answer. I don’t know. No one does because no one can see into the future and tell me if my home will ever be attacked. Perhaps never or perhaps tonight. One home invader or 10, can you tell me Bernadette? Of course not, so your question is based on your opinion based on what your political beliefs are not on anything measurable. Each person makes these judgments based on their personal beliefs. Mine are that it’s better to have a gun and not need it then to need it and not have it. I defy any other person to tell me that I do not have that right to try to defend myself and my family. I defy you or any other person to tell me what I do or do not need because you do not and can not see into the future. As for suing gun manufactures you logic is faulty. Any lawyer will tell you, you can’t sue the manufactures for selling equipment that works as advertised. Nor can you sue a manufacture for harm caused when an
individual misuses a legally produced product. That fact has nothing to do with gun manufactures it relates to any product, cars, airplanes, plumbing fixtures, pressure cookers just anything at all. As for your apparent concern about “gun violence”, why not call it what it really is? It’s criminal violence. It is a fact that less then two tenths of one percent of legal gun owners commit gun involved crimes. So why do your political leaders choose to target this law abiding segment of our society? Why do they not target the criminals who commit gun crimes. To say we don’t have strong enough gun laws is just wrong. Federal laws allow for a 10 year prison term for the use of a firearm in commission of a crime plus additional five years for each bullet in the gun. So you answer me this, why do these laws never seem to be applied by the government? If they only apply to federal crimes why do states like Illinois not adopt them? Seems to me your political leaders are feeding you what they want, not what you want. Think about that a little bit Bernadette and get back to me. Steve Earle Hill
If you want something done you have to be a single-issue voter To the editor, I was watching Senator Ayotte “performing” in Warren last week. She certainly knows how to pick her audience. I thought I was watching a church service. The audience was so “well behaved” and asking softball questions — except for a couple that dared register disapproval but they got booed down by the majority and the law slowly approaching one of them. It’s all in the name of democracy you know. Ever marvel at the fact that Congress enjoys almost a single digit approval rating and yet when one of them comes to town (admittedly a well chosen town) they suddenly acquire almost a divine persona? Both Republicans and Democrats share this mystery. Not even the lady who had lost her child by way of a gun could sway Ayotte or the audience. “Thank you for coming” was the senator’s last words on the subject. It seemed to me that lady just walked out of the room — at least I think it was her. Could have been just another disgruntled observer who had enough
of the pablum. I’ve been scanning some of the comments on the opinion pages (most of them are too long to read) and I can’t help but notice some of them. “We’re so blessed to have her”; “New Hampshire is so lucky to have her”. Sheesh, I’ve been trying to unravel this mystery for most of my adult life and have finally come to the conclusion that good old Abe had it right: “you can fool some of the people all the time” — it’s just a simple fact of life. I’ve come to another conclusion about politicians. If you want something done then you have to resort to being a single-issue voter or at the very most a double-issue voter (don’t want to press our luck here) just like the majority of white Catholics and Evangelicals (who voted for Romney of course). My two issues will be a much stronger gun legislation that is being presented to us at the moment and of course a sensible sane immigration policy that recognizes reality. I’m not holding my breath.

Bush admin. had nothing to do with ‘fast & furious’, look it up To the editor, Just read James Veverka’s letter in the May 11 paper. It’s amusing to listen to the moonbats continue to blame Bush for everything wrong now in the second term of Obamunism. Veverka writes yet another letter filled with lies and misinformation. He states that operation “fast and furious” was a Bush plan, not an Obama plan. Wrong again. Operation “fast and furious” was the brainchild of the Obama administration, hatched on October 26,2009 by Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden, Assis-
Director Kenneth E. Melson, DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart, FBI Director Robert Mueller and the top federal prosecutors in the southwestern border states. Operation ‘fast and furious’ was put into play on October 31, 2009. For those of you who don’t know any better, Barack Hussein Obama was sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2009. No need to take my word for it, just look it up online. I found this information on the left, liberal-leaning wikipedia website. Jay Kennedy

It’s not legal at this time to sell pictures taken from drone aircraft
NHEC needs the right mix of renewable energy sources, green energy, and more conventional fuels. My experience and financial skills give me a unique perspective for addressing the challenges facing the Co-op.
To the editor, It was fun to see the article “Eye in the Sky” on a recent front page. As a professional aerial photographer, I have been watching the development of these devices for several years, eagerly anticipating the time when they might be of use in my business. They can capture unique views that in many cases cannot be duplicated with either aircraft or helicopter. Unfortunately, while the equipment has matured to a useful level, the regulatory environment (read: FAA) has not. Any one considering the use of this technology needs to be aware that using a “drone” to capture and sell images is absolutely, 100 percent illegal. The owner/operator is subject to a fine of up to $10,000 by the FAA — per offense. There is also the matter of liability.

Should personal or property damage occur in the course of a commercial operation, the most likely legal target for monetary damages would be the “deepest pockets” — not the operators, but most likely the company that hired them. And while insurance is available for private use, it becomes null and void if an accident occurs during the commission of an illegal act — such as shooting for compensation. I very much look forward to being able to employ these new unmanned aerial vehicles and their capabilities in my business. Until it becomes legal, however, I will stick with my FAA certified, insured aircraft and helicopter, and my FAA certified safety pilots. Bill Hemmel Lakes Region Aerial Photo Laconia

LETTERS With Obama, we need to do what was right to do with ‘Tricky Dick’ To the editor, Well, how long before all of the Obama Zombie letters saying, “It’s Bush’s fault? Probably some here already. There are two reasons why we are stuck with this person in the White House: too many “GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE CARE OF ME” Obama voters, and too many “ROMNEY IS A MORMON” and “MITT IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE” non-voters. At least the Romney family loves America, they would never tear the U.S. down on foreign land or at home! The Obama voters are fine with Barack and the Democrat politicians and bureaucrats tearing this country apart, fiscally and morally while Republican counterparts do what they do best — remain silent.
The press has come out of the ether, now that Barack is in his second term (we think). They are now being critical of Hussein Obama — the IRS under Geithner punishing individuals and patriotic groups who differ with Obama policy, Benghazi with four Americans dead, the war in Afghanistan on-going with losses and no game plan to win and leave. My fellow American patriots, do what was right to do with “Tricky Dick Nixon” for lying and cover-ups, it is time BHO has charges brought against him, and then, IMPEACH him. Pull the keys to our plane. No more vacations for BHO and family members, no more lavish parties for BHO and Hollywood in our house. Niel Young Laconia

Forum made me realize we’ve more in common than differences To the editor, I accepted the Lakes Region Listens published invitation to participate in a thoughtful conversation with other local residents about what priorities we thought our communities and regions should reflect in the future. The meeting was held May 7th at the Laconia MIddle School from 6 to 9 p.m.. It was reported out the next day that 117 people attended the meeting. In the focus group, I joined there were 12 to 15 individuals representing the towns of Tamworth, Bristol, Gilford, Meredith, and Laconia. Our facilitator made sure each member of the group had ample opportunity to put forth his or her ideas respectfully and listen to others’ ideas, also respectfully. While we did not all
agree with every concern we listed, we never even considered leaving any priority off the list when we reported all concerns out loud to the larger group at the end of the meeting. Furthermore, after hearing all the focus groups report that night it occurred to me that we have more in common than we have differences. Hopefully, if future discussions are held we can come to consensus on some priorities and figure out how to move forward together. It would be a positive step in the right direction instead of the impasse we experience on a national and local level almost daily. Kay M. Anderson Laconia

City Council defers decision on renewing offer for State School property BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The City Council last night deferred a decision on resubmitting its bid of $2.16-million to purchase the former Laconia State School property off North Main Street pending more information about the costs associated with ownership. City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) told the council that since the property was offered on the open market the state had not received a single bid and the deadline to sell the property passed on May 1. He explained that a bill is before the Legislature that would apply the statutory process for disposing of state property to the site, which could enable those opposed to its sale to withdraw it from the market or significantly increase the asking price. The fate of the legislation is unlikely to be decided before the close of the session in June. In the meantime, the property remains on the
open market. Lahey suggested the city renew its bid in order to secure its interest in the property. Under the current law, the decision to forward the offer to the Governor and Executive Council for approval would rest with the Commissioner of the Department of Administrative Services, who was originally instructed to sell the property. Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4), who has questioned acquiring the property, said “I’ve never really heard the reason why we want to buy this property.” She noted that the cost of addressing environmental hazards at only one of the more than two dozen buildings on the site is estimated at $200,000 and doubted the city could raise the funds to clean-up the property. City Manager Scott Myers said that there are ways of maximizing funding format the United States Environmental Protection Agency, but acknowledged “it would not happen overnight and could
take years.” He stressed that if the city acquired the property, it would be required to address the environmental issues within a set period of time. Mayor Mike Seymour replied that only by owning the site could the city control any development that might occur there. He described the purchase as taking a “defensive posture.” Lahey reminded the council that Risley Field, some 70 acres adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex, which the city currently leases from the state, is integral to the success of the complex. Cars are currently parked on that lot. Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) said that by controlling the future of the site, the city could expect to benefit for its redevelopment. However, he also asked for more information about the cost of clean-up and the availability of funding as well as the expenses that would arise from owning the site.

Gilford’s Shayna Tomlinson scores winning goal in national U19 hockey championship It was an incredible end to a very successful hockey season for Shayna Tomlinson as her Assabet Valley girls U19 Hockey Team won Gold at the Tier 1 USA Hockey National Championship. The tournament took place in San Jose, Calif. the first week in April. The best teams from the country qualified to compete in the championship tournament by winning a state title. It was a tough road to the championship game, especially when two of Assabet’s best defensemen were injured in the first game of the tournament. The team was already down two talented forwards going into the championships. Despite these set backs, the team managed to outscore the opposition 21-1 in the first three games to qualify for the quarterfinals. They won two more hard fought games, (one game went into triple overtime) to reach the finals against Chicago Mission. Assabet went on to win the final game 1-0. Tomlinson was able to score the only goal of the game shortly after the officials disallowed a goal that she had assisted. It was an incredible moment that she won’t soon forget. Assabet Valley Girls Hockey program is based in Concord, MA. Girls from all over New England compete for spots on the team in addition to playing on their high school team. Tomlinson is currently a junior at St. Paul’s School in Concord, NH where she is a co-captain of the girls’ varsity hockey team. The St. Paul’s team had an outstanding season this year, ending with a 22-1-1 record entering the playoffs. Tomlinson was awarded the Independent School League, All-League award for her efforts this season. Shayna is looking forward to more success on the rink her senior year. She has also been recruited to play Division 1 hockey in college and has accepted an offer at a school in the northeast.

LACONIA — Is competitive fishing an athletic event? After watching the first-ever NHIAA-sponsored high school bass fishing tournament, Laconia High School principal Jim McCollum said you can call it anything you want, as long as it means his students will be able to participate in more such events.

Local snowboarder headed to World University Games in December CAMPTON — “I want a double back flip for Italy,” says Dan Rosen, a Campton resident referring to his participation in the 2013 World University Games to be held this December in Trentino, Italy. He is one of eighteen collegiate athletes, ten men and eight women, who make up the Men’s and Women’s Snowboard Teams representing the United States at this prestigious international competition. These riders are full-time college students and exceptional snowboarders, each holding individual and team titles across several snowboarding disciplines, including halfpipe, slopestyle, giant slalom, and snowboardcross. Dan graduated in 2010 from Plymouth Regional High School and Waterville Valley Academy (a school for student athletes that focuses on academics and snowsports training/competition). He is currently a Sophomore at Westminster College in Salt
Lake City, Utah and a member of the Westminster College Men’s Snowboard Team. Sara Beaudry, Team Manager of the World University Games U.S. Snowboard Team, says “These are dedicated athletes and serious college students who will make us proud. The one thing remaining in our quest for world recognition and world medals is the money we need to raise to get us all there. If we can’t raise enough money as a group, each person who wants to go will have to pay the individual balance out of his or her pocket.” The team and its supporters are actively fundraising. In addition to accepting individual donations, they plan to hold online raffles and online retail fund-raisers. The team is also seeking official corporate sponsors.

These two signs on Lower Bay Road in Sanbornton tell an entirely different story about the Official Ballot Act or SB2 created by RSA 40:13, as it is more commonly known. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)
At each other’s throats, Sanbornton voters to decide SB-2 issue, again By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
SANBORNTON — Regardless of the outcome of today’s vote on SB-2 or the Official Ballot Act, town’s people can only hope that the road signs will disappear and the animosity between the two sides eases. The signs are all over the place — some a simply the garden variety vote Yes or No on SB-2 — or RSA 40:13 as it will appear on the ballot — but some of the signs have been vitriolic — to say the least. “Save Town Meeting” reads some while others read “SB-2 is the same as Town Meeting.” Others indicates proSB2 signs are lies while other signs simply call attention to the 12 times SB-2 has appeared on the ballot and the 12 times it has gone down to defeat — sometimes although it attracted majority, but the not the necessary 60 percent, support. Perhaps one of the more controversial signs recently has been the SB-2 is the same as Town Meeting. In addition, town-wide mailers have been sent to people by Budget Committee member Earl Leighton reiterating the
same thought. “It is a lie,” said School Board member Lynn Chong who been opposed to SB-2 for as long as Leighton has been a supporter of it. “If Town Meeting and SB-2 were the same thing, the SB-2 wouldn’t be necessary.” In an another mailer sent to town residents from former N.H. State Rep Tom Salatiello, he claims Town Meeting is the only thing that keeps transparency within the voting process. Salatiello goes on to say that at Town Meeting two years ago, the voters learned that Budget Committee members were lying about the library budget. In an e-mail sent to the Sun, Leighton has said that Salatiello’s accusations are libelous to the Budget Committee and the accusation of lying in untrue and unfounded. Even members of the current Board of Selectmen takes opposite positions on SB-2 with Guy Giunta voicing his long-time advocacy of it and Karen Ober writing a letter to the editor saying she supports the traditional town meeting format. see next page

Belmont man guilty of threatening police with blow torch LACONIA — After deliberating over the span of three days, a Belknap County jury found a Belmont man charged with two counts of criminal threatening and one count of resisting arrest guilty on all three charges. Brandon Dunn, 31, of 791 Laconia Road was ordered held in the Belknap County House of Corrections until he can be sentenced. Dunn pointed a commercial grade blow torch at police who came to his house in January of 2012 with
a warrant for his arrest on a domestic violence-related matter. When he saw police he picked up a blow torch and came toward the Belmont Police officers. Dunn hid in the attic until the Belknap County Special Operations Group was activated about 90 minutes later. After deploying tear gas, police found Dunn hiding under some insulation. Police said at the time it appeared he tried to set his house on fire but was unsuccessful. — Gail Ober
DR. JOYCE from page 2 University to be home with her newborn, firmly believing a child’s development depended on it. But the young family found itself struggling on her husband’s residency income. So Brothers came up with the idea of entering a television quiz show as a contestant. “The $64,000 Question” quizzed contestants in their chosen area of expertise. She memorized 20 volumes of a boxing encyclopedia — and, with that as her subject, became the only woman and the second person to ever win the show’s top prize. Brothers tried her luck again on the superseding “$64,000 Challenge,” answering each question correctly and earning the dubious distinction as one of the biggest winners in the history of television quiz shows. She later denied any knowledge of cheating, and during a 1959 hearing in the quiz show scandal, a producer exonerated her of involvement. Her celebrity opened up doors. In 1956, she became co-host of “Sports Showcast” and frequently appeared on talk shows.
Two years later, NBC offered her a trial on an afternoon television program in which she advised on love, marriage, sex and child-rearing. Its success led to a nationally telecast program, and subsequent latenight shows that addressed such taboo subjects as menopause, frigidity, impotence and sexual enjoyment. She also dispensed advice on several phone-in radio programs, sometimes going live. She was criticized by some for giving out advice without knowing her callers’ histories. But Brothers responded that she was not practicing therapy on the air and that she advised callers to seek professional help when needed. Despite criticism of the format, the call-in show took off, and by 1985, the Association of Media Psychologists was created to monitor for abuses. Dr. Drew Pinsky, who has offered his medical expertise in radio and television formats first pioneered by Brothers, was among those sharing reaction to her death Monday. “Knew nothing about her history on the $64,000 question, but I did know Joyce Brothers,” he wrote on Twitter. “She was a pioneer and very knowledgable.”
from preceding page Selectboard candidate and former Selectman Patsy Well is against SB-2. Incumbent Dave Nickerson, her opponent, was unavailable for comment yesterday. The Official Ballot Act enacted by RSA 40:13 establishes two separate segments to Town Meeting. In a town meeting format, the selectmen budget is presented to the voters and the Budget Committee recommendations are also presented. After a two public hearings, voters physically go to Annual Town Meeting and vote up or down on the budget. Amendments to line items, hence the total budget, can be changed by the public body. SB-2 breaks annual town meeting into two parts — a Deliberative Session held about four weeks prior to town elections where the Budget Committee’s budget is presented to the voters who may make adjustments. The actual vote comes on local election day and the budget is presented as an upor-down secret ballot vote. Warrant articles can be amended but the purpose of the article must still be
contained in the body. In both cases, all warrant articles must be reviewed by the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration with extra attention given to those that involving bonding. The theory behind SB-2, according to the Local Government Center, was to give voters more notice of the business before the town and to cap any increase in expenditures (made at the Deliberative Session), including warrant articles, to no more than 10 percent. Proponents note that voter participation levels typically jump by several times in SB-2 towns while opponents label many of those voters as being “uninformed”. Traditionally, Sanborton has been a hot bed of SB-2 controversy, with the item appearing in 12 of the 15 years since RSA 40:13 was passed. Last year, according to Town Clerk Jane Goss, SB-2 came within 20 votes of garnering the 60 percent support it needs to pass. Voting for SB-2 is done on the ballot on Election Day — today. Annual Town meeting is tomorrow at 7 p.m.

Barnstead man charged with stealing truck that owner’s son allegedly gave him keys to – to facilitate pot purchase By Gail OBer
ALTON — A Barnstead man was ordered held on $15,000 cash-only bail yesterday after being charged over the weekend with stealing a truck from a Main Street family in March. Paul I. Malm, 20, of 270 Garland Road appeared by video yesterday in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division on charges of receiving stolen property, theft of a motor vehicle, and conspiracy to commit (the purchase of marijuana). Wearing a white T-Shirt with “Grab Some Buds” lettered in red on the front, Malm said nothing during his appearance. He was arrested yesterday by Pittsfield Police on the Alton arrest warrant. According to police affidavits obtained from court, Rochester Police notified Alton Police that they found a burned up pickup on March 11 that was registered to an Alton resident. Rochester Police also told Alton Police they had reason to believe the truck was used that same evening in an attempted burglary at a store on Route 11 in Farmington. The truck was found shortly after the attempted burglary on fire by Rochester Police. Alton Police interviewed the owners and their minor son, who all told police they were sleeping the night before and had not heard anything.
The owners called back the Alton Police and told them they had additional information about the truck because their son had just told them he allegedly gave the keys to Malm and a second suspect so they could go and buy him more than an ounce of marijuana. Affidavits said he told police he gave them $1,170. When police returned to the couple’s home, they learned $1,000 and a hand gun were missing from a gun safe. The minor child told police Malm and the other man — who is in the N.H. State Prison on an unrelated offense — that the money was stolen. Alton’s prosecutor argued for $15,000 bail because Malm had been in Florida for much of the time after he allegedly stole the truck and that he was often transient — spending much of his time “camping.” Malm’s public defender argued for $500 cash because his parents had agreed he could stay with them and he would check in with Barnstead Police on whatever schedule was set by the court. Carroll decided to hold him on $15,000 cash-only and set a probable cause hearing for next week. Police Chief Ryan Heath said yesterday the gun has been recovered and the matter is still under investigation. He said additional charges could be forthcoming.
FORSTEN from page one starts July 1 — his raise, according to Cormier, consistent with the raises earned by other district employees. Assuming Champlin had gotten a three percent raise over the past three years. Cormier explained that he would be making $125,956. Forsten described her ascension as “bittersweet,” saying she had always aspired to be a superintendent someday. She told the board was excited about the direction the School District is going and is looking forward to “a very strong school year.” “We have an outstanding system,” she said describing the board and the employees as truly dedicated to educating Laconia’s children. Cormier said the Laconia School District plans on continuing with its current business model of having a superintendent and an assistant
superintendent and will advertise for the assistant position. Forsten has 17 years in the Laconia School District, serving from 1995 to 2005 as the principal at Pleasant Street School before being made assistant superintendent. She has worked in the Hollis, Candia, and Concord School Districts as a special education teacher and curriculum coordinator, as a special education teacher at the Lake Shore Psychiatric Hospital, as an assistant principal and a special education coordinator. She is a graduate of Keene State College, earning her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Special Education and her Master degree at the University of New Hampshire. She has also taken graduate classes at Plymouth State University and Harvard University and is certified to hold the position of superintendent of schools.
DOCTOR from page 2 gag order. Former clinic employees testified that Gosnell routinely performed illegal abortions past Pennsylvania’s 24-week limit, that he delivered babies who were still moving, whimpering or breathing, and that he and his assistants dispatched the newborns by “snipping” their spines, as he referred to it. “Are you human?” prosecutor Ed Cameron snarled during closing arguments. “To med these women up and stick knives in the backs of babies?” Gosnell was also convicted of infanticide, racketeering and more than 200 counts of violating Pennsylvania’s
abortion laws by performing thirdterm abortions or failing to counsel women 24 hours in advance. The courtroom was locked for more than 30 minutes as the verdicts were read and the jurors polled one by one. His co-defendant, former clinic employee Eileen O’Neill, was convicted of taking part in a corrupt organization and illegally billing for her services as if she were a licensed doctor. The jury foreman let out big sigh before the verdicts were read and looked stressed. Another juror was seen crying. The gruesome details came out more than two years ago during an see next page

Auditor happy city has $5.2 million in rainy day fund By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Frank Biron of Melanson Heath, the city’s independent auditors, told the City Council last night that the city enjoys a sound financial condition at the close of fiscal year 2012, marked by a robust fund balance and good operating results. The unassigned fund balance, which Biron described as “perhaps the most important number in the report,” stands at $5,209,675. He said that bond rating agencies expect municipal fund balances to range between 5 percent and 10 percent of their operating budgets. The city, he said, is at the top of the range is “a strong financial position.”
Biron noted that the unassigned fund balance shrunk by $1.1-million between 2011 and 2012, but that capital reserve funds increased by an equal amount. “It’s just a shift,” he said. Biron pointed out that the city’s liabilities, approximately $32.8-million, of which $3.3-million represents projected costs of benefits to retiring employees, is “relatively very low.” The income statement, Biron said, showed that revenues fell some $406,000 short of appropriations, but departments spent and encumbered about $664,000 less than appropriated, leaving a bent balance of $258,042. “You beat the budget,” he said, “which is a very positive result.”
Rain pushes Moultonborough cleanup effort back to this Sat. MOULTONBOROUGH — The 3rd annual town clean-up, orgianally scheduled for May 11, will kick off at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 18 from the playground facility on Playground Drive and from States Landing Beach on States Landing Road. It runs through 12 Noon. The event was postponed because of rain. People of all ages and abilities are encouraged to join in on tasks ranging from raking, litter collection, flower bed weeding, and a mulching of shrub beds to the collection of wind blow sticks and tree limb. From these two staging areas roadways and Long Island beach are also addressed as location jobs and clean ups area assigned. Those doing the roadway clean-up they are given blue litter collection bags which, when filled, are left on the roadside for town pick-up on Monday. This annual event brings volunteers from the community together to clean up the past season’s litter and debris along the roadsides and through-
out the parks allowing the new green growth to prosper. Scott Kinmond, the Town’s Road Agent and DPW Director, said From these actions we draw the phrase, a “clean up and green up of our community” and “a community in partnership”. For those who want to conduct a neighborhood pick-up with their neighbors or adopt a roadway for the course of the year, the blue litter bags will be available on the 11th at eh two staging areas and after that through arrangement with the DPW Offices during normal business hours by calling 1-603-253-7445. These bags will then be accepted at the DPW Garage and Transfer Station for disposal during normal business hours. The event is being labeled as BYOT; Bring Your Own Tools of shovels and rakes, work clothes and gloves, street brooms, and the like. The town will assist by supplying trash bags and a truck to collect the debris.
from preceding page investigation of prescription drug trafficking at Gosnell’s clinic. Investigators said it was a foul-smelling “house of horrors” with bags and bottles of fetuses, including jars of severed feet, along with bloodstained furniture, dirty medical instruments, and cats roaming the premises. Pennsylvania authorities had failed to conduct routine inspections of all its abortion clinics for 15 years by the time Gosnell’s facility was raided. In the scandal’s aftermath, two top state health officials were fired, and Pennsylvania imposed tougher rules for clinics. Four former clinic employees pleaded guilty to murder and four more to other charges. They include Gosnell’s wife, Pearl, a cosmetologist who helped perform abortions. Both sides in the highly charged abortion debate
endorsed the verdict. “This has helped more people realize what abortion is really about,” said David O’Steen, executive director of the National Right to Life Committee. He said he hopes the case results in more states passing bills that prohibit abortion “once the unborn child can feel pain.” Supporters of legalized abortion said the case was a preview of what poor, desperate young women could face if abortion is driven underground with more restrictive laws. “Kermit Gosnell has been found guilty and will get what he deserves. Now, let’s make sure these women are vindicated by delivering what all women deserve: access to the full range of health services including safe, high-quality and legal abortion care,” said Ilyse G. Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATIONS We hear a lot about side effects of medications on TV commercials – but let’s keep in mind that drugs don’t know what we want them to do – they just do what they do (regardless of whether or not this meets our primary purpose for taking them). Do you know the oral side effects of the medications you take? Here is a brief overview of medications that can affect the condition of your mouth: Many drugs, including antihistamines, antihypertensives, and diabetes meds (among others) can cause your mouth to become dry. Decreased flow of saliva is a concern because saliva helps to keep soft tissue lubricated and this cleanses the teeth and mouth. Other drugs can cause an overgrowth of gum tissue which makes it difficult to maintain good oral hygiene. Some medications have been linked to the development of oral sores, inflammation or discoloration (e.g., tetracycline products can cause permanent staining on developing teeth). Aspirin and other bloodthinning drugs reduce clotting and this can cause bleeding problems during oral surgery or periodontal therapy. Your dentist needs to know every over-the-counter and prescription medication you are taking in order to provide optimal care. Make sure you keep your health history up to date. Remember – there’s no “free lunch” in pharmacology! You pay a price for everything you get when you take a drug… so be aware of what you’re taking and how it affects you. George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com
Incredible rally earns Bruins OT win in Game 7 BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins turned back Toronto’s comeback with a rally of their own. Trailing by three goals in the third period and still by two with less than 90 seconds left in their season, the Bruins scored twice in a span of 31 seconds to tie it and then eliminated the Maple Leafs on Patrice Bergeron’s goal at 6:05 of overtime to win 5-4 in Game 7 on Monday night. “It was one of the crazy ones I’ve been part of,” said Bergeron, who assisted on Milan Lucic’s goal with 1:22 in regulation and scored to tie it with 51 seconds left in the third. “We found a way, not necessarily the way we would have liked to play the whole game.” Tuukka Rask stopped 24 shots for Boston, which led the best-of-seven series 3-1 before the Maple Leafs won two in a row to force a seventh game. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Bruins are the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7 after trailing by three goals in the third period. The Bruins will play the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, starting the series at home; the NHL has not announced the dates. Toronto opened a 4-1 lead in the third period of the decisive game, but Nathan Horton cut the deficit to two midway through the third period and then Lucic and Bergeron scored in the final 1:22 with Rask on the bench for an extra skater. “Anything can happen,” Lucic said, “and that’s
exactly what happened.” Cody Franson scored twice, and former Bruin Phil Kessel had a goal and an assist for Toronto. James Reimer made 30 saves for the Maple Leafs. But it was the one he missed that left him sprawled in the crease, face down, while the Bruins celebrated. “I was trying to be pretty even-keeled,” said Reimer, who was teary-eyed in the locker room after the game. “There was time left, they could come back and they did. When you’re up 4-1 you’d like to be able to hold onto that lead.” Toronto hadn’t been to the playoffs since 2004, but some of the players had: forward James van Riemsdyk was on the Philadelphia team that rallied from a 3-0 deficit to eliminate the Bruins in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals. This time the comeback fell short. “It’s tough to stay composed,” Franson said. “Any type of playoff experience will help us (next year). But unfortunately we’ve got to live through this the whole summer. Anytime you get knocked out of the playoffs, it hurts.” The win completed a whipsaw of a weekend for Boston, which won Games 3 and 4 in Toronto last week to put the Maple Leafs on the brink of elimination, but failed to clinch at home on Friday and again in Game 6 when the series returned to the Air Canada Centre.
GOT LUNCH from page one restaurants taking part in “Eat Out For Got Lunch! Laconia Week” in which people only have to mention to their server that they are supporting Got Lunch! and a portion of their check is donated to the program. People who ate at T-Bones, Cactus Jack’s and Burrito Me on Monday were able to participate. Today patrons of the Village Bakery (on Main Street) and the BrickFront Restaurant can take part. On Wednesday the scene will shift to Fratello’s and Hector’s. And on Friday, Tavern 27, the Lyon’s Den and Patrick’s Pub & Eatery will be the featured destinations. More than 200 volunteers from community organizations take part in the program which over the past two years has delivered more 35,000 lunches to school children in the city. This year starting on June 19, the team of Got
Lunch! volunteers will fan out across the city to deliver, free of charge, a week’s worth of lunch-making groceries to the families of children who qualify for the federal free or reduced-price lunch program when school is in session. The program runs for the weeks that school is not normally in session. Organizers estimate that it takes $110 to provide one child with lunch groceries for the summer. There is also a dairy voucher program with vouchers redeemable at Vista for milk, eggs, cheese or yogurt. Since the Got Lunch! Laconia program started in 2011 it has spread rapidly across the state and there are now nine programs this year and the number is expected to rise to at least 12 next year.

BENGHAZI from page 2 to prior warnings and al-Qaida to be deleted from the talking points used by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attack. One email suggested that Congress could use those issues as ammunition against the State Department. At a White House news conference, Obama dismissed the GOP focus on the talking points as a politically driven “sideshow,” pointing out that he said “act of terror” on Sept. 12 and the talking points assessment was similar to the daily presidential briefing he had received. He also noted that Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, told Congress that Benghazi was a terrorist attack with potential
links to al-Qaida three days after Rice’s appearance on five Sunday talk shows. “So if this was some effort on our part to try to downplay what had happened or tamp it down, that would be a pretty odd thing that three days later we end up putting out all the information that in fact has now served as the basis for everybody recognizing that this was a terrorist attack and that it may have included elements that were planned by extremists inside of Libya,” the president said. “Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days?” While Obama did refer to Benghazi as an act of terror, the president also cited protests over an antisee next page

from preceding page Islamic video in several interviews days after the attack, as did Rice on several Sunday news shows. He said Monday that “nobody understood exactly what was taking place during the course of those first few days.” The emails comprising the inter-agency discussion on how to best describe the events in Benghazi were shared with Congress as a condition for allowing the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director to move forward. The general counsel for the office of the Director of National Intelligence briefed members and staff from the Senate Intelligence panel and leadership on the emails on Feb. 15 at a session in which staff could take notes. A similar briefing took place on March 19 for the House Intelligence panel and leadership staff, according to a senior administration official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the individual was not allow to publicly discuss the process. New details on the emails emerged last week. Obama argued that lawmakers had reviewed them several months ago but suddenly they were treated as fresh revelations. BEAR from page one Fish and Game is investigating the shooting but do not recommend people take similar action in event they see a bear or other predatory wildlife. He said people have a right to protect livestock or themselves from wild animals but recommends calling the police or the Fish and Game rather than taking anything but evasive action. — Gail Ober

Older, heavier OJ returns to court to ask for new trial
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A weary-looking O.J. Simpson weighed down by shackles and more than four years in prison shuffled into a Las Vegas courtroom on Monday hoping to eventually walk out a free man. His arrival in court to ask for a new trial in the armed robbery-kidnapping case that sent him to prison in 2008 for up to 33 years could be heard before he was seen — as a loud rattling of the chains that bound his hands to his waist and restrained his feet. His lawyers had unsuccessfully argued to forego the shackles. After the 65-year-old Simpson was seated, a guard removed his handcuffs and clicked them onto the chair arms next to him. The once glamorous football star and TV pitchman was subdued in his dingy blue prison uniform. Grayer and heavier, he briefly flashed a smile and
mouthed a greeting to people he recognized before being stopped by a bailiff. Simpson listened intently as his lawyers tried to make the case that he had poor legal representation in the trial involving the gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in 2007 in a Las Vegas hotel room. Of the 22 allegations of conflict-of-interest and ineffective counsel his lawyers raised, Clark County District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell has agreed to hear 19. Simpson has said his former attorney, Yale Galanter, had rejected appropriate defense moves and even met with Simpson the night before the disastrous heist to bless the plan as long as no one trespassed and no force was used.
NEW ORLEANS from page 2 shooting work within an agency that’s had its own troubles rebounding from years of corruption while trying to halt violent crime. “The old people are scared to walk the streets. The children can’t even play outside,” Ronald Lewis, 61, said Monday as he sat on the front stoop of his house, about a half a block from the shooting site. His window sill has a hole from a bullet that hit it last year. Across the street sits a house marked by bullets he said were fired two weeks ago. “The youngsters are doing all this,” said Jones, who was away from home when the latest shooting broke out. Video released early Monday shows a crowd gathered for a boisterous second-line parade suddenly scat-
tering in all directions, with some falling to the ground. They appear to be running from a man in a white T-shirt and dark pants who turns and runs out of the picture. The image isn’t clear, but police say they hope someone will recognize him and notify investigators. Police were working to determine whether there was more than one gunman, though they initially said three people were spotted fleeing from the scene. Whoever was responsible escaped despite the presence of officers who were interspersed through the crowd as part of routine precautions for such an event. No arrests had been made as of Monday afternoon, but Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said investigators were making significant progress. Ballistic evidence gathered at the scene was giving them “very good leads to work on,” he said.

The BCCR is a new political group which bills itself as a political grassroots organization dedicated to offering conservative solutions for contemporary issues. “We believe that progressivism, in all of its forms, has corrupted the American political process”, says Don Walker, one of the founders of BCCR. “We know conservatism is a proven political approach which can solve the critical issues facing Americans today. We need to work together and bring conservatism to the table and begin the discussion of truly solving the challenges we face as a community and a country”, says Walker. Jane Cormier, House Representative of District 8 (Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton) is also co-founder of BCCR. “I believe it is time to take a stand against the progressive direction of our government. Our republic is under assault from within. We need to promote small government and personal liberty, and we hope citizens who support integrity in government will check out our efforts”, says Rep. Cormier. “We want people to know there are things you can do. We want to begin by bringing conservative solutions to our local communities and then work from there”, says Cormier. The Family Fun Day will offer everything “American” including hotdogs, apple pie, entertainment, raffles, fun activities for the kids, as well as information for all who attend. This event is free to the public. For more information, contact www.belknapcountyconservativerepublicans.com, Don Walker (603) 435-0277 or Rep. Jane Cormier (603) 781-5695.

Former U.S. Institute of Peace President Richard Solomon speaks at Plymouth State University on May 17 PLYMOUTH — Dr. Richard Solomon, former president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, will speak at Plymouth State University Friday, May 17, at 11 a.m. Solomon’s presentation, “Managing International Conflict in a Transformed World: The Work of the U.S. Institute of Peace,” will explore the new challenges in international affairs, and describe the work of USIP in helping our national institutions of diplomacy and defense adapt to this new agenda. Solomon is considered one of the major figures in international relations over the past several decades; he retired last year after 19 years at USIP where he oversaw its growth into a center of international conflict management. In the two decades since the end of the Cold War, the world of challenges and opportunities facing America abroad has fundamentally changed. Great power confrontations have receded, but have given way to regions of political chaos and the threat of terrorism. Globalized economic relations are raising living standards, but also subjecting developed and developing countries to financial instability, intense

market competition and job insecurity. Nuclear weapons are proliferating, while ethnic and religious conflicts are creating political instability. And new, non-military threats to security are emerging: electronic (cyber) vulnerabilities, humanitarian crises, health pandemics, food insecurity. Our Cold War-era institutions of diplomacy and defense are slowly adapting to the challenges of this new era. One promising new institution facilitating this adaptation is the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). Created by Congress in 1984, the Institute has become a world-recognized center of innovation in international conflict management. Now housed in a dramatic permanent headquarters on the National Mall in Washington, USIP trains conflict mangers and collaborates with America’s diplomats and military to prevent conflicts from turning violent and stabilizing countries torn apart by war and internal strife. Dr. Solomon is the Commencement speaker for Plymouth State University’s 142nd Commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 18.

Mr. McClary was born November 30, 1928 in Gilmanton, N.H., the son of the late Leona (Nutter) and Frank L. McClary, Sr. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was an excellent marksman and while in Austria he competed for a place on the US Olympic rifle and pistol team. After leaving the military he was employed by Willey Lane Trucking of Pittsfield. For many years he served as Road Agent for the town of Gilmanton. He worked for E.W. Sleeper Company in Concord as a heavy equipment mechanic before retiring from Fairfield Equipment Company, also of Concord. Joe was a lifelong resident of Gilmanton and in recent years could be seen sitting on his porch in the afternoons. For decades he volunteered his time with the Gilmanton Fire Dept., and also enjoyed cooking the lobsters and clams at their annual cookout.

During the last several years, on his way home from the Wellness Center he looked forward to delivering the newspaper to the guys at the Corners Fire Dept. and to Robin and the guys at the Police Dept. He ended his morning dropping off a biscuit to his “grand-dog” Grizz. His greatest joy was the times spent with family, enjoying many cookouts, chicken barbecues
and holiday dinners. He enjoyed “tinkering” on many projects and building things for his family. . He was quick witted and always had a smile. He will be so greatly missed by those who loved him and the many friends whose lives he touched. Survivors include his wife of 55 years, Betty M. (Deware) McClary, of Gilmanton; a daughter, Brenda Currier and husband Brett of Gilmanton; a son Frank J.

Mary M. Davis, 69
MEREDITH — Mary McDonald Davis, RN, of New Smyrna Beach, Florida and Meredith, NH; passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on April 28, 2013. She was born on June 11, 1943 in Portland, Maine, daughter of the late Howard and Louise (Metcalf) McDonald. Mary was a member of the last graduating class of South Paris High school in Maine and attended Laconia Hospital School of Nursing, graduating as a Registered Nurse in 1965. Mary married her college sweetheart, Ian, on July 1, 1966 and worked as a nurse for many years at the Laconia Hospital. In 1973, Mary started what she considered her “biggest investment” when she became a stay at home mom to her two adored children, Jeff and Jenna, which was her true passion. In 1987, Mary started working as a nurse part-time, doing insurance physicals, while taking care of her family and assisting with her parents in their declining years. In 2003, Mary and Ian bought her long time dream of owning a Florida house and became snowbirds in New Smyrna Beach. Mary put her family and loved ones above all else, doing anything she could for everyone she could. Her joy was found around the table, feeding everyone until they were full and then handing them a piece of cake, often saying it was your own darned fault if you left her house hungry! Never one to sit still, Mary loved gardening, rug hooking, quilting, volunteering, yard
saling, crafting and traveling. Mary went on many adventures, often in support of her kids and their crazy ideas, traveling to more than 40 states and four countries. Mary is survived by her husband of 47 years, Stuart Ian Davis, of NSB, Florida and Meredith, NH; son Jeffrey M. Davis and his wife Karen of Meredith, NH; daughter Jennifer M. Moulton and her husband Corey of Laconia, NH; and beloved grandchildren Nick and Rachael. Mary had so many people who she loved and cared for and many, many friends she considered sisters and mothered every child with whom she came in contact. Calling hours will be held at Wilkinson-BeaneSimoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, NH 03246 on Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM, with a celebration of her life to follow at 3:00 PM.

takes one person to start the change. You’ll be the one to see things differently and to speak up about it. You’re not trying to play the rebel, but you can’t help but notice the corrupt aspects of the current system. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a strict moral code, though you rarely think about this until situations arise to challenge or remind you of it. Others will be influenced by the way you handle things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Many requests will be made of you, but don’t let that keep you from doing what you really want to do. You’ll follow the purpose in your heart, and it will take you directly home. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 14). You push yourself toward high goals and reach some of them, too. Your motivation will vary from month to month as you continually seek new inspiration. The system you set up in June will make you richer by September. Your interest in foreign places and cultures will bring people together in November. Aries and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 22, 30 and 19.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If your happiness seems to come in small doses today, consider yourself lucky. Enjoyment and brevity go hand in hand. Pleasure in excess becomes pain. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The things you habitually say to yourself to keep motivated will help a friend who could use encouragement. Being good to yourself always leads to being good to others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Uncomfortable feelings are like glasses that warp and distort your point of view. Don’t try to fix anything when you’re agitated. Get relaxed first. To fix things, you must see them how they are and deal with them directly. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You usually respect authority, but every once in a while you get in one of your moods. Today you feel like breaking the rules, and you could probably get away with it, too, because you are so charming! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love to be entertained, and you’ll be a good audience member. But you’ll also be keen on the difference between a fun story and a flat-out lie told for personal gain or social acceptance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll do a bit of wizardry on your physical image and discover your knack for the fairy magic called “glamour.” Did you know that before Hollywood took over the term it was associated with tiny nature spirits? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When does optimism become unrealism? You’ll have fun finding out. You are feeling extra-fanciful now and in just the whimsical mood to stretch the boundaries of your mind and imagination. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Many will seek your counsel. Feel good about this, as it’s a sign that you’re a leader. When people want to talk to you, it means they respect you and your input matters. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The conspiracy theorists and those who pay regular visits to a mental playground of morbidity feed on the attention of others. Don’t buy in. Stay on the bright side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, May 14, the 134th day of 2013. There are 231 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 14, 1973, the United States launched Skylab 1, its first manned space station. (Skylab 1 remained in orbit for six years before burning up during re-entry in 1979.) On this date: In 1643, Louis XIV became King of France at age 4 upon the death of his father, Louis XIII. In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner inoculated 8-year-old James Phipps against smallpox by using cowpox matter. In 1804, the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the Louisiana Territory as well as the Pacific Northwest left camp near present-day Hartford, Ill. In 1863, Union forces defeated the Confederates in the Battle of Jackson, Miss. In 1900, the Olympic games opened in Paris, held as part of the 1900 World’s Fair. In 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation was founded in New York. In 1942, Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait” was first performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In 1948, according to the current-era calendar, the independent state of Israel was proclaimed in Tel Aviv. In 1961, Freedom Riders were attacked by violent mobs in Anniston and Birmingham, Ala. In 1973, the National Right to Life Committee was incorporated. In 1988, 27 people, mostly teens, were killed when their church bus collided with a pickup truck going the wrong direction on a highway near Carrollton, Ky. (Truck driver Larry Mahoney served 9½ years in prison for manslaughter.) In 1998, singer-actor Frank Sinatra died at a Los Angeles hospital at age 82. The hit sitcom “Seinfeld” aired its final episode after nine years on NBC. Ten years ago: More than 100 immigrants were abandoned in a locked trailer at a Texas truck stop; 19 of them died. (Truck driver Tyrone Williams was later sentenced to nearly 34 years in prison for his role in the deaths; of the 13 others indicted in the case, two had charges against them dismissed, one who cooperated with prosecutors was sentenced to the three days in jail and the others were given sentences ranging from 14 months to 23 years.) In Chechnya, a female suicide bomber killed 18 people in an apparent attempt on the life of the Moscow-backed chief administrator (Akhmad Kadyrov). Five years ago: President George W. Bush opened a celebratory visit to Israel, which was marking the 60th anniversary of its birth. John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination during a surprise appearance at a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich. The Interior Department declared the polar bear a threatened species because of the loss of Arctic sea ice. One year ago: President Barack Obama sought to tarnish Republican Mitt Romney as a corporate titan who got rich by cutting rather than creating jobs; Romney’s campaign responded that the former Massachusetts governor alone had helped spur more public and private jobs than Obama did for the nation.

Page 28 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, May 14, 2013
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 15 years and recently decided to try an open-marriage lifestyle. We are doing this with full honesty and respect for each other. The main problem is that the dating success is not equal. I found it easier to get a date. Whereas, my husband is having a tremendous degree of difficulty. He has online dating profiles, but no luck. I am seeing someone who is a wonderful person, but I want my husband to experience new things along with me. Open marriage is still considered taboo, and it is extremely important to my husband and me that we are honest about our marital status with any prospective date. Even though he is happy for me, I feel compelled to help him. But I’m not sure how to do it without overstepping unspoken boundaries. -Open but Lost Dear Open: Are you sure your husband wants this as much as you do? He may have agreed to the arrangement only to please you. We think you need to have this discussion again and let your commitment to honesty lead the way. Ask your husband whether he is truly happy with the idea of an open marriage and, if so, what you can do to make things easier for him. Marriage, “open” or otherwise, requires the ability to communicate. Dear Annie: Would you please address the distinction between “dinner” and “supper”? I’ve heard many people refer to the evening meal as dinner, but the definition of an evening meal is supper. I even heard a prominent newscaster refer to the president as sitting down with a guest at the White House for “dinner” tonight, but if they are sitting down at night, it is clearly supper. -- Stickler in the South Dear Stickler: In most parts of the U.S. and Canada, these words are used interchangeably. However, there are regional
distinctions, which might explain why this bothers you so much. According to most definitions, “dinner” refers to the main meal of the day. Back in the Middle Ages, people often ate the main meal at lunchtime. Now we tend to eat it much later, but it is still called “dinner” regardless of the time. “Supper” refers to a lighter meal taken later in the evening and is often used interchangeably with “tea.” The word “dinner” also is used when referring to a formal meal or banquet (hence the president’s dinners), and “supper” is always a less formal affair. We hope that answers your question. Thanks for the change of pace. Dear Annie: In response to “Wife of the Plumber,” I have only one thing to say: Get out while the gettin’ is good! Her husband is a total narcissist, and nothing is going to change him. Narcissists are superb at conning people, especially those who love them. We are the ones they treat the worst, because we have that unrealistic hope that given time things will improve. After almost half a century, I can attest to the fact that no matter how many chances you give, no matter how many promises they make and no matter how much you love them or how hard you work, it will never change. They see nothing wrong with themselves. It is always the other person’s fault. They will not seek help. I urge her not to throw her life away on someone who will never be there for her. I hoped too much and loved too strongly, and although still legally married, I have finally reached the point of emotionally withdrawing from my self-made prison. If leaving is not feasible, she needs to protect herself and her children from the extreme damage that is done by living with this type of person. And get counseling. -- Been There, Done That and Escaped

Belmont Historical Society to hear about Victorian era’s ‘Morbid Taste for Mourning’ on Friday BELMONT — The Belmont Historical Society will host local Sanbornton historians Linda Salatiello and Evelyn Auger Friday, May 17 at 7 p.m. at the Belmont Mill as they present an informative and entertaining program on Victorian mourning practices and symbolism. The presenters will “add to the flavor” of the topic as they conduct their presentation attired in periodappropriate Victorian and Edwardian “widow’s weeds.” The presentation will examine the origins of Victorian mourning, discussing Queen Victoria’s roll as the archetypal Victorian mourner and grieving widow, par excellence. Linda and Evelyn will also
explain the origins and rituals of mourning including the significance and symbolism of attire, prints, jewelry, correspondence and burial practices associated with the mourning process. Many of the practices are still with us today. Enhancing the presentation will be a show and tell display of Victorian mourning items including pictures, attire, remembrance photos, mourning jewelry and a child’s casket. The program is free and open to the public and surrounding communities. Handicapped parking and an elevator are available. For more information contact either Christine Fogg at 524-8268 or Wallace Rhodes at 267-6272.
