‘These people are not like you & me’ City Council told poor renters generate disproportionally more trash & landlords shouldn’t be punished BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Despite protests from a handful of residential landlords, the City Council voted unanimously last night to increase tipping fees at the transfer station beginning on July 1 in an effort to encourage households and businesses to recycle a greater share of their solid waste. Currently tipping fees range from $5
for loads less than one ton, to $10 for loads between one and two tons and to $30 a ton for loads of more than two tons. But, the city pays Waste Management $16.60 a ton to truck the trash to Penacook and the Concord Regional Solid Waste Resource/Recovery Cooperative $66.80 a ton to dispose of it at the incinerator for a total cost of $83.40 a ton. In other words, the city subsidizes the disposal cost to those using the transfer station by between $53.40
and $78.40 a ton. The council voted to end the subsidy in two annual increments, which would reduce the cost to property taxpayers by $190,000 in the first year and $380,000 by the second year. The fee for loads of up to 100 pounds, approximately the equivalent of five bags of household trash, will be $5. Loads of more than 100 pounds would cost 3.5 cents see TRASH page 10

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — After 10 days in the hospital, a Georgia graduate student fighting a rare flesh-eating infection isn’t letting the breathing tube in her throat stop her from mouthing questions such as “Where am I?” and “How long have I been here?” The parents of 24-year-old Aimee Copeland said Monday they know many more questions — and much tougher answers — will come as soon as doctors remove the respirator and allow her to breathe on her own. Doctors have already amputated most of Copeland’s left leg to save her life after the infection spread rapidly from a nasty gash she suffered when she fell from a zip line May 1. Her parents said she’ll likely lose her fingers as well, though doctors hope to save the palms of her hands, which see AWAKE page 12
NEW YORK (AP) — A political stalemate in Greece rattled financial markets worldwide on Monday, driving U.S. stocks lower. The euro sank to a three-month low against the dollar and borrowing costs for Spain and Italy jumped as bond traders anticipated that financial stress could spread far beyond Greece. Investors dumped risky assets and plowed into the safety of the Treasury market, pushing yields to their lowest levels this year. The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 125.25 points to close at 12,695.35. The Dow has lost more than half of its gains for the year in the past two weeks as worries resurface about Europe and the strength of the U.S. economy. In Athens, talks between political parties to form a government dragged into a second week. The uncertainty has raised concerns that Greece could miss a debt payment and drop the euro currency. The worry is that if Greece leaves the currency union, bond traders may demand steeper
borrowing rates from other troubled countries and push them deeper into debt. The turmoil could easily spread to the U.S. through the banking system. “The large banks are globally connected,” said Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. “The concrete fear is that if Greece exits the euro, that would hurt European banks. They’ll pull back lending to U.S. banks and then they’d be in worse shape.” see GREECE page 10
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s sputtering economic recovery is putting a heavier-than-expected drag on state tax revenue, leading Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday to propose deep budget cuts across an array of government services and warn again that even more cuts are ahead if voters reject his tax-hike initiative in November. Brown’s latest budget plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1 proposes $8.3 billion in spending cuts to close a revised deficit of
$15.7 billion deficit, an amount equal to 17 percent of the state’s entire general fund. The plan would reduce child care for mothers trying to get off welfare, in-home supportive services for the needy and health care for the poor, as well as cut funding to courts and postpone payments to schools. Those reductions come on top of tens of billions of dollars in state budget cuts implemented since the recession started in late 2007.
Brown, a Democrat, also is asking state workers to share the pain by taking a 5 percent pay cut, most likely by reducing their work hours. The pay reduction would be handled in contract negotiations with the state’s public employee unions. In addition to the cuts, Brown hopes to close the deficit with $5.9 billion in new revenue from the tax initiative he proposed earlier this year that would temporarily add a quarter cent in the state sales see CALIF. page 10
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida A&M University’s prestigious marching band, scarred by the hazing death of one of its drum majors, won’t be taking the field for at least another year. At a school where people attend football games just for the Marching 100 halftime
show, where students enroll just for a shot at playing on the field, such a move is like saying the Alabama Crimson Tide won’t play football for a year. The full impact on enrollment and the school community can’t immediately be measured, but students and alumni said it’s a move they support to
make sure hazing is rooted out. “What do we do in that one-year process to make sure these things do not happen again?” asked 25-year-old Travis Roberts, who has played clarinet in the band for four years. “We lack consistency at times, see BAND page 11

No border dispute here; Vermont & N.H. reaffirm where boundary is
NORWICH, Vt. (AP) — The top law enforcement officers from New Hampshire and Vermont met Monday in the middle of a bridge over the Connecticut River to confirm that, yes, their shared border hasn’t changed. State laws require the states’ attorneys general to meet every seven years to reaffirm the states’ 160mile border, a process called perambulation. The laws are designed to ensure the two states remain in agreement. They followed a 1935 U.S. Supreme Court decision that settled what had been a decadeslong legal battle. On Monday, Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell stood to the west of a vertical line cut into a granite panel on the bridge, which connects Hanover, N.H. and Norwich, Vt. His New Hampshire counterpart, Michael Delaney, stood on the eastern side. For several minutes, they exchanged light-hearted banter that segued into solemn comments about the historic and ongoing cooperation between the two states. “I think the case is a great example that we are a nation of laws. All you have to do is look around the world and see the strife, the revolutions, the insurgencies and whatever and the inability of so many people in this world to resolve their differences peacefully,” Sorrell said. “Here you have a great example of two states, two separate but equal states, with legitimate arguments of great importance to both states resolved under our laws amicably and finally. We laugh about our responsibilities to perambulate, but this is an opportunity every seven years to sort of reinforce the borders, but reinforce our neighborliness.” The bridge’s line is symbolic. The border is
actually the low watermark on the western side of the Connecticut River. The case that was ultimately settled by the U.S. Supreme Court began in 1917 when Walpole, N.H., tried to tax a paper mill on what is now considered to be the Vermont side of the river. Prior to the decision, Vermont had claimed the border was the center line of the river. Boundary disputes are still being fought between states and they can have far reaching and practical legal consequences. During a 2008 drought, the state of Georgia tried to reassert its right to its northern boundary after a 19th century surveyor made a mistake of more than a mile, leaving Georgia unable to tap into the Tennessee River and pump muchneeded water to Atlanta. Another survey error had the location where the four corners of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado off by 1,807 feet. But the error became irrelevant after the states adopted the accepted location as the
only spot in the country where four states meet. The symbolic line in the middle of the Connecticut River where Sorrell and Delaney met is in Hanover because the river itself is New Hampshire territory. After the 20-minute meeting on the bridge, Sorrell and Delaney walked into the underbrush on the Vermont shore to examine an official marker, one of about 100 up and down the border between the states. “This event should speak to the fact that New Hampshire and Vermont have always been good neighbors,” Delaney said. “I think we all recognize as we gather on one of our bridges the importance of maintaining the relationships that we have, sharing our oversight of that border that is such an integral part of all of our citizens’ daily lives on both sides of the river, that we continue to make good decisions that work in the best interests of our citizens, many of whom travel in both of these states each day.”
Latest grizzly evidence of Mexico cartel war: 49 headless bodies CADEREYTA, Mexico (AP) — Authorities struggled Monday to identify 49 bodies without heads, hands or feet to gain clues into the latest in a series of massacres from an escalating war between Mexico’s two dominant drug cartels, with increasing evidence that innocents are being pulled into the bloodbath along with gang rivals. More than 24 hours after the gruesome discovery, officials had yet to identify any of the mutilated
corpses found near the northern industrial city of Monterrey. None of the bodies examined so far showed signs of gunshots, Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene told Milenio television. Though it was unclear who the victims were, it was the fourth massacre in a month. Mexico’s interior secretary, Alejandro Poire, said Monday that all those incidents resulted from the fight between see MEXICO page 4
Disoriented Goffstown man ends up in Maine
GLENBURN, Maine (AP) — Maine State Police say a New Hampshire man who was last seen going to get his mail ended up 245 miles away in Glenburn, Maine. Trooper Chris Cookson says a store worker alerted police when a confused and disoriented 79-year-old James Marshall of Goffstown, N.H., showed up late Saturday. Jo-Ellen Jamieson told the Bangor Daily News that she was concerned about the man and invited him inside even though it was closing time. She says the man asked where he was and was surprised to learn that he wasn’t in New Hampshire. It turns out Marshall had been reported missing seven hours earlier. Cookson says an ambulance took Marshall to a hospital in Bangor, and his son arrived the following morning to pick him up.

Body pulled from Winnipesaukee River yet to be positively identified LACONIA — Lieutenant Matt Canfield said yesterday that police are continuing to withhold the name of a man whose body was found in the Winnipesaukee River on Saturday morning until the New Hampshire Medical Examiner certifies a positive identification. A fisherman in his boat spotted the body in the channel near Eager Island, near the Meredith Bridge Cemetery at the foot of Cook Court at approximately 8:48 a.m. With assistance from the Fire Department,
which provided a boat and cordoned off the river, police, together with officers of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and Marine Patrol, recovered the body from the bottom of the channel. Canfield acknowledged that police believed they recognized the man, but said all information about his identity would be withheld until the Medical Examiner completed his report, which would include a finding as to the time, cause and manner of his death. — Michael Kitch

Relocation of facility housing 6 sex offenders judged incompetent to stand trial weighs on city’s purchase of State School land By Michael Kitch LACONIA — Apart from questions about the fair market value of the property, the future of a facility housing little more than a handful of sexual offenders operated by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services also weighs on the city’s prospects of acquiring the former site of the Laconia State School. The so-called “Designated Receiving Facility” (DRF), consisting of two buildings on Green Street at the northern end of the property, holds six beds for individuals with developmental disabilities or acquired brain disorders found to have committed sexual offenses and to pose a risk to public safety. They have been judged incompetent to be dealt with through the normal judicial channels so they have not been tried and are not in the custody of the N.H. Department of Corrections. Although state officials have discussed relocating the DRF for some time, the issue gained urgency last year when the Legislature included the sale of the state school site in the 2012-2013 budget. In April, Nick Toumpas, Commissioner of Health and Human Services, wrote to the Fiscal Committee, made up of five senators and five representatives, in response to a request for information about the progress of moving the facility. He explained that the ideal site for the DRF would be distant from a residential neighborhood but close to support services while noting that the cost of preparing an appropriate facility was also a factor.
The department, Toumpas said, had evaluated three sites — one in Concord, another in Stewartstown and the Glencliff Home for the Elderly in Warren. The Concord site required renovations estimated at $1.6-million. The Stewartstown site lacked support services within reasonable distance. The Glencliff Home would also require extensive renovations projected to cost more than $1-million. Likewise, Toumpas ruled out placing clients of the DRF at New Hampshire Hospital that even with a very expensive retrofitting, undertaken at state expense, would be an inappropriate setting. Representative Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), who has openly his expressed misgivings about the state parting with the Laconia State School campus, points to the cost of relocating the DRF. As chairman of the House Public Works and Highways Committee, Chandler manages the capital budget process and would be responsible for appropriating funds to move the facility. On the other hand Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said at a hearing last week that it was not in the financial interest of the state to keep the State School property, referring specially to the DRF. He said that the facility costs $1.2-million a year to operate for just six people, which is a problem the state must address. The appraisal of the site performed by Bureau of Right-of-Way of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation last September specifically excluded the DRF.
from preceding page cents have increasingly become targets. “We don’t have proper identification of the dead,” he said. “We have to leave that to the investigation.” “We have to look deeper ... to know the motives or who could have been the victims of violence,” Poire added. The 43 men and six women found Sunday were dumped at the entrance to the town of San Juan in the municipality of Cadereyta about 105 miles (175 kilometers) southwest of McAllen, Texas. Graffiti around the town of 4,000 people mark it as Zetas territory, including “100% Zeta” painted on
a stone arch welcoming visitors where the bodies were dumped and “Z’s” painted on the home of San Juan’s priest. There have been 74 killings in the first four months of this year in Cadereyta municipality, compared to 27 over the same period in 2011 and seven in 2010, according to figures from Nuevo Leon state prosecutors. The massacre follows the discovery of 14 men left in a van in downtown Nuevo Laredo on April 17 and 23 people found hanged or decapitated in the same border city May 4.

Europe in the canary in our cage There is no question that we are a country divided. The “left” depicts those on the right as people who want to throw granny off the cliff, and to deny basic assistance to the most needy among us. The “right” depicts the left as ignoring the Constitution, demonizing free enterprise, and creating a “nanny state”. And, we all watch as our western world allies in Europe are collapsing under the weight of social largess and diminishing birth rates. Europe is our canary in the cage. France ousted its president because he was inflicting some belt tightening, and they elected a “socialist” who promised to let the good times roll. France’s national debt is over $35,000 per person and the socialist agenda will surely expand that number until the country goes belly up. The debt crisis in Greece has put that country near financial ruin and collapse. Debt per person in that country is almost $41,000. The government has tried to rein in spending but has met with worker resistance as mobs have rioted in the streets. The people do not seem to want a solution; they want the nanny state largesse to continue. Spain has almost 25-percent unemployment, per person debt of over $20,000 and just nationalized one of that county’s largest banks. Their neighbor Portugal is not that much better either. Prospects are that Italy, with its massive debt of over $42,000 per person, appears to be next in line for a fall. Ireland is not far behind with per person debt of over $35,000. Survival of the European Union is becoming a big question. These countries can trace their debt woes to their nanny state social programs. Sadly, most people in this country get an occasional glimpse of what’s going on over there, but simply pass it off. But look again . . .while all those countries are struggling to find a solution, we sit here, fat, dumb, and happy with our national debt at $50,000 per person. We owe more than any country in Europe; we lead the world in gluttonous spending. Our problem is that, in 2011, our Federal government had expenses of $3.6-trillion, but only had income of $2.3-trillion . . a deficit of $1.3-tril-
lion that had to be borrowed and added to our national debt. That debt now stands at $15.5-trillion and will continue its upward trajectory until something is done about spending. The problem simply cannot be fixed by raising taxes . . on the rich, the corporations, or anyone else. If the Federal government were to double our personal and corporate taxes, it would still not have enough money to completely offset the deficit incurred during 2011. Spending must be addressed. The government collected slightly more than $799-billion in Social Security and Medicare in 2011, but paid out $835-billion for Medicare and Medicaid, and $725-billion for Social Security. Part of that shortfall is because of the “payroll tax holiday”. Another part of the shortfall is because Social Security is now paying out more than it collects, as an average of 10,000 people per day are retiring and applying for benefits. That rate of retirement will continue for the next 19 years as “baby boomers” reach retirement age. Another part of this issue it that as Social Security income is falling short of its payout, the government securities held by the Social Security trust fund will now need to be redeemed in order to cover the shortfall. That means that the government will get the funds to redeem those securities by selling new securities. It’s called kicking the can down the road to our children and grandchildren. . If that financial shortfall isn’t enough, Medicare admits to having unfunded liabilities of $36-trillion, and the Affordable Healthcare Act (aka Obamacare), which essentially offers Medicare like insurance to all age groups, is taking $500-billion out of Medicare for use in the new program. If the new health care act is found to be Constitutional by the Supreme Court, what will that do to our unfunded liabilities? Incalculable! Europe is our canary in the cage . . . and we are essentially ignoring the lessons from the other side of the pond. We are already in debt well beyond any European country and we’re continuing to pretend we don’t have a problem. Chicken Little was an optimist. It’s time to start paying attention.

Media ignored Obama’s mysterious past & lack of credibility To the editor, There is nothing strange about the media’s delving into Mitt Romney’s early years.

In his letter, Mr. Young declared that he “will not sign any petition from anyone that threatens the First (Amendment).” He also refers to Laconia’s “New Language Police.” Mr. Young’s diatribes have never been models of clarity but I assume he is referring to the Community Aspirations Contract/Petition that recently appeared in The Sun, calling on people to embrace civility, tolerance, acceptance, and diversity, values which Mr. Young thinks makes us a “wimp nation.” Many of us, however, believe that these values are truly “American” values which can make us a strong nation. I never imagined being nice, civil, and respectful to others made one a “wimp.” Frequently, it actually takes courage. Moreover, these are truly “Christian” values and are also values common to other faiths. This statement of community aspirations was carefully crafted by a rather diverse group of community leaders, educators, clergy, people of faith, and others. People of different religious and ideological persuasions worked together
to produce this statement. I am in no way speaking for the group but only for myself but, since I attended several of the group’s meetings, I feel more qualified than Mr. Young to comment on the Community Aspirations statement. Contrary to Mr. Young’s fears, the statement in no way has the force of law. It is a pledge and nothing more. Those who choose not to sign it or live by its principles will not be jailed or otherwise sanctioned. Far from being a “language police,” the group that crafted this statement simply seeks to persuade others to be more civil and tolerant in their dealings with others. Nor is there any censorship involved. Mr. Young and his radio guests will not be censored in any way. He and his guests and friends will still be free to promote fear, hatred, racial enmity, lies, and misinformation on his radio program or elsewhere but those of us who do not agree will also be free to criticize these ideas. That IS the “American way.” Mr. Young is also free to express his opinions regarding the Community Aspirations Contract but he should do his homework and know what he is talking about. E. Scott Cracraft Gilford
Let’s not forget Dr. Sam Aldridge, he’s serving in Asia once again To the editor, Our Dr. Sam Aldridge was once again redeployed to Afghanistan to serve on the Forward Surgical Team. Those last tree words pretty much say where he is and what he is dealing with. He left too quietly several weeks backs, leave his loved ones here. His family, his friends, his town, his patients, and yes, even those trout he loves to chase with a fly rod. We can’t lose our focus on the sacrifices that Sam (and others) make, and continue to make daily despite the totally pathetic lack of media coverage on the war in Afghanistan. Our troops are still serving our country under difficult conditions and are putting their lieves on the line daily. So once again I enlist your held to keep Sam knowledgeable that we want to help in any way possible and that we care about him personally. It has been
a difficult road for his and this redeployment even harder. Please mark it on your calendar to drop a line every couple weeks or so, or send him candy or whatever (Toblerones and turtles are two I know he likes). Be sure to ask him how he is doing and how you can make his latest requirement a micro-bit easier for him. He is such a giving person, and it’s or great opportunity to give back to him. His address is: LTC Samuel C. Aldridge FOB Wright/ Asad Abad 948th Forward Surgical Team APO AE 09310 Regular first class postage is all that is required.

LETTERS Rep. Kingsbury can’t provide cover for votes against Meredith
Majority of students need access to opportunities outside class
To the editor, I appreciate that the letter from Rep. Robert Kingsbury, Laconia, published on May 10th was an attempt to offer cover for the votes cast by Rep. Colette Worsman and Sen. Jeanie Forrester on the House Redistricting Bill (HB-592). But, in fact, his letter only emphasized that their votes were cast on behalf of Speaker O’Brien and the Republican plan, not on behalf of the people that they were elected to represent. Mr. Kingsbury states they had no choice but to vote for the plan as the “House attorney was in total control of everything the House did in redistricting”. The “House attorney” referred to is Edward C. Mosca, who was appointed to his paid position by Speaker Bill O’Brien. Mr. Mosca and Mr. O’Brien are well known to be long time political allies. It is not Mr. Mosca who had total control; it is Speaker O’Brien who had total control just as he has throughout the legislative year. Anyone who reads various newspapers in the state is very well aware of the unethical antics of Speaker O’Brien and his iron clad control of the House Reps and the overall agenda in our Statehouse. Recent editorials in the Concord Monitor, The Citizen and the Nashua Telegraph comment that Speaker O’Brien has set a new standard as speaker and it is the lowest standard ever seen. This is a man that will not even seat handicap reps from his own party on the aisle because they cast a vote or two that was against his wishes. Even though a number of reps offered to move their seats, he refused and has these two handicapped reps sit in the center, causing them a physical challenge every time they are in session. This is the type of man that is leading our House of Representatives; it is simply disgraceful that so many elected officials continue to support his speakership and cower to his well documented unethical antics and cruel actions. On the day the vote to override Gov. Lynch’s veto of the Redistricting Plan was taken, Speaker O’Brien stopped the House mid-session to hold a lastminute Republican caucus. He kicked out the media, the Democratic reps and the public to hold this last minute caucus. It is widely reported that
To the editor, As adolescents grow and begin to explore avenues for the futures, they need exposure to opportunities in which they can be successful. They fight enough over issues of autonomy all day — with their teachers at school and with their parents at home. When not under their parents’ roof or in the classroom, adolescents need opportunities to exercise control over important parts of their environment; needs that can be addressed by structured service learning programs. Although many high schools have community service or service learning requirements for graduation, few have programs designed to guide these experiences; programs that are desperately needed. Not all, by many students view this requirement as a nuisance and tend to do it just to receive their diplomas, They ever really engage in the experience, thus failing to real the benefits. This is unfortunate, but the kids aren’t to blame. As their mentors, counselors, teachers, parents and all the other roles we play in our teens’ lives, we are to blame for not providing adequate guidance to service learning experiences in a manner that is purposeful, meaningful and powerful — all of which serve to promote the healthy development of our youth. And hey, the benefits to the communities we live in aren’t too bad either. The personal senses of significance, competence, and power acquired through service is learning of needs that adolescents need fulfilled if they are to develop into early adulthood in a meaningful way.
during the caucus, O’Brien circulated a secret memo drafted by Mosca that offered opinion on how to circumvent the state Constitution. House Democrats were denied access to the opinion even though Mosca is funded by the state and should serve all in the House. Article 44 of the N.H. Constitution states that vetoed bills shall be entered into the journal before an override vote but upon returning from caucus, Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt entered the veto message into the journal immediately prior to calling for the vote. This resulted in there being no public notice of the override vote, and reps had no advance warning that the vote would be taken out of order or to consider the veto message before the override vote. The unannounced vote also denied municipal officials, particularly those in the 62 communities that are impacted by the new plan, a last opportunity to work with their lawmakers to sustain the governor’s veto in hopes of a better plan being developed. As most know, Meredith is one of those towns that the plan directly impacts by it being merged with Gilford, a town with a larger voting population then Meredith. In spite of the fact that Meredith can very likely lose the direct representative we have always had, Rep. Worsman and Sen. Forrester voted to override the veto. Rep. Greemore was the one elected official representing Meredith who stood up for Meredith and voted against the redistricting plan and keep Meredith with its constitutional right of direct representation. Thank you to Rep. Greemore for standing tall on this vote and proving that each rep did, in fact, have a choice with their vote. Despite Rep. Kingsbury’s efforts, there is no cover for Rep. Worsman and Sen. Forrester on their egregious votes. Their votes certainly did not prevent legal expenses as there are numerous suits now against the HB-592 plan. They were elected to represent Meredith resident’s interests and they failed in this regard with their votes on HB-592, which supports the interests of Speaker O’Brien and his party but not the resident’s of Meredith. Denise Doyle Meredith
You can’t be serious that these two politicians didn’t have choice To the editor, Rep. Kingsbury, I read your letter to the editor in The Laconia Sun from Thursday, May 10, which was a response to a letter I wrote and was published in The Sun on May 5, regarding HB-592, known as the Hosue redistricting bill. Your quote: “Senator Forrester and Representative Colette Worsman had no choice, absolutely no choice, but to vote for the redistricting plan that was presented to them”. My first reaction was; “Is he serious? A vote is all about choice; do I vote Yea or Nay? In this case, Senator Forrester and Rep. Worsman voted Yea for HB-592 which has left Meredith with the possibility of not having its
own representation to the N.H. General Court for the next 10 years. You also stated that had they voted nay it would have cost the citizens millions and millions of dollars in legal costs and penalties. Again, seriously? Meredith and Gilford along with many other towns and cities are now joining a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of this bill because of their actions. Finally, you characterized me as having said “bad things” about Senator Forrester and Representative Worsman. I did not; I stated what their vote was on HB-592, which I think is bad for Meredith.

While service learning is beneficial for children of all ages, focusing directly at counselors are actively involved in helping their students and teens find engaging and purposeful service that gets the involved in their communities, as well as proving opportunities to meet other community members and build networks. The current lack of guidance is inhibitive and indirectly destructive. High school students need to connect with their peers in their communities, and by missing out on these types of opportunities, healthy development can be hindered, or in some cases, arrested. Students spend all day sitting in classrooms and taking order, completing assignments, getting to class on time, turning their cell phones off, taking their hats off in the building, displaying their ID badges at all times, requesting permission to go to the bathroom, competing with one another to get the best grades. Traditional academic environments suit only a small percentage of American students. The majority of students need access to opportunities outside the classroom to discover what they’re good at, and to perceive themselves as valued beings. Cooperative based service learning experience bridge this gap. Academics are very important, but deep down we all really know they aren’t everything. Its time to get serious about developing our youth. Jeff Roscher Counselor-in-training Plymouth
Pay Sanbornton its money or give us our taxable land back To the editor, After the 1938 hurricane, the flood, control project was completed in the 1950s, in order to protect Massachusetts’ cities and towns from flooding. As part of this project, taxable land was taken from Sanbornton, with the agreement that the town would receive a yearly payment of $30,000. Sanbornton has not received payment for the
past two years resulting in a revenue loss of $60,000. This lost revenue has a negative impact on our tax rate. If your neighbors happen to be summer residents from Massachusetts, ask them to talk to their hometown legislators; pay us our money or give us our land back. Tom Salatiello Sanbornton
CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PUBLIC NOTICE PROJECT NAME: Water Quality Protection for Lake Winnisquam SRF PROJECT NUMBER CS-333950-01 DETAILS of PROJECT The proposed project would implement storm water Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as treatment swales and sediment traps, designed to address sediment and phosphorous problems outlined in the Black Brook Watershed Study (developed by AECOM) in Sanbornton. Also, replacement of three culverts under Black Brook Road is proposed. Two of the existing culverts are 48” in diameter; one is a smaller over flow culvert that is 36” in diameter. These culverts would be replaced with a new 8 feet by 8 feet pre-cast concrete box culvert that would span the width of the Black Brook and allow for a more natural and unrestricted flow of the Brook. The bottom of the box culvert will be set level approximately 12” below the natural stream bottom elevation. There is very little slope in the existing stream at this crossing. The backfill material will be sloped to recreate the natural stream slope through the culvert. The proposed box culvert should help reduce the amount of sediment collecting at the current site. This box culvert would aid in possible future plans by the Fish and Game Department to reintroduce smelt into Black Brook. The project includes reworking of drainage and swales, and crowning of the road to help eliminate silt and assist with large volumes of runoff. Wetlands permits and a Phase I Archeological Study may be needed. The total cost of the SRF-funded portion the proposed project is estimated to be $230,000. Whereas this project constitutes only a minor project and no significant environmental impacts are anticipated, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) is proposed.

LETTERS Conservatives will continue to demand accountability from Obama To the editor, Oh boy, L.J. Siden sent me to the woodshed in his/her May 10th letter. Yes, I did fail to address his/her main complaint about the divisiveness of our political parties. Okay, I’ll make this short and sweet. Political parties have always been divisive especially during the days of our founding fathers. This just in L.J., they always will be because it’s the nature of the beast precisely because it is an adversarial system. Liberal types would prefer politicians all get together, bake cakes and sing Kumbaya. Although, scratch the cake baking if you live in Massachusetts and want to make a buck fundraising. The Democrats have decided they will be the arbiters of how much sugar consumption will be allowed by the clueless residents. What’s next by the progressives? Better outlaw catsup because of the sugar content. I’m sure the bay state can count on John Kerry to jump on that condiment grenade. Sorry I labeled you as freedom sucking. It was meant for the majority of folks from the liberal/progressive/ socialist/statist side of the political aisle. Come to think of it, I have no idea what your political persuasion is or even whether you are male or female. Geez, I’m also sorry I called you the “mystery man”. That would be President Obama. I guess you would be the “mystery person” since you go after others for being less than forthcoming while you remain in the shadows.
When we write letters to the editor, we are all putting ourselves out there for criticism. It is not for the faint of heart. So, let me be more forthcoming in the hope that perhaps you will join me. I am an independent voter and I consider myself a conservative/libertarian. That means I am not one given to “blind adherence to a conservative agenda” as you alleged. I have written several letters chastising Republicans for their establishment, big government mentality. If I had my druthers, Wayne Allen Root and Allen West would be on the Republican ticket. I do agree with you that it is content of character and a deep respect for the Constitution that makes this country great. It would appear that you have not been paying close attention to the conservative letter writers to The Sun. They and I have been pointing out the failings of President Obama’s policies with facts from verifiable sources, such as The Heritage Foundation, The Cato Institute, the Hillsdale College Forum, the Mises Institute, Campaign for Liberty, ACT for America, Alliance for Natural Health USA, American Enterprise Institute, Americans for Prosperity and many other reputable sources. Let me be perfectly clear, we are vilifying his policies rather than the person. Let me repeat your baseless, tasteless assertion for those who didn’t read your letter, “For some time now, reality, the truth and any shred of honesty has not existed for the conservative right”. Hmmm, perhaps

that’s why I assumed you were a liberal. I anxiously await your forthcoming clarification. It is rather funny how you never challenged any of the numerous examples I gave you as to why our president is a socialist. Perhaps that is because you realize it is President Obama himself and not Republicans who has perpetuated the belief that he is a socialist. Also, I guess it is possible that you are not aware that President Obama was never properly vetted. Or that all of the mainstream media, save for Fox News, and most of Hollywood is in the tank for our president. Sarah Palin was vetted far more vigorously than our POTUS even though she was just running as the VP. President Obama has been handled with kid gloves, but now he has a record. I’m sorry L.J., but no matter how much liberals try to demean
conservatives, no matter how often we are called racists, no matter how many times you and others accuse us of “inventing things to be outraged about”, but offer no rebuttals whatsoever, we are going to demand accountability from our leader. Another four years of shredding the Constitution and adding another six trillion to our national debt may very well bring our republic to it’s knees on the heels of what is happening in Greece, Spain, Portugal, France and much of Europe. Modern day liberals act as though there is nothing to be gleaned from those socialist countries. We’ll just party on now and let the kids pick up the pieces. After all, personal responsibility appears to be anathema to “nanny state” Democrats and their ever grateful followers. Russ Wiles Tilton
Gilmanton School Board can lie & cheat because we don’t care To the editor, UNCLE! You win! It’s over! I promise I won’t trouble you anymore. I’ll do anything; just name it. I mean it. You’re strong and willful with fake lawyers and playful threats to anyone who disagrees with you. OKAY! I get it! You want to win at all cost and damn anyone who gets in your way. It’s important for you to feel as if you’ve gotten over on us. I get it! You don’t have to clobber me over the head any more. You’ve made yourself painfully clear and I hear you loudly. You, Gilmanton School Board and two day a week Superintendent Fauci, have found a truly effective way of keeping secrets from the town, and conducting back room deals to the point of exhaustion. I know I’m exhausted; aren’t you? NOW that you got your way at the School District Meeting and passed that stupid High School Tuition warrant article and played with the number of students attending Gilford High School, NOW, you admit that, “Oh, by the way, we have broken the AREA Agreement with Gilford’s acceptance and pay them everything they ask for up front”. But you and I know the dirty little secret to your sudden openness, don’t we Mr. Fauci? It’s because one of your own school board members let the cat out of the bag so you couldn’t hide the truth anymore! Okay, you’ve made a deal with Gilford which puts Gilmanton behind the eight ball every year, but what the heck, the town doesn’t seem to mind so why should I? It doesn’t matter that Mr. Fauci reduces his job to two days a week but the School Board goes ahead and approves a new
three year contract to keep the SAU office open to the tune of who knows how much money AND gives him an increase in pay WITH benefits, to boot! I guess we shouldn’t be upset that Mr. Fauci had this deal to become an interim superintendent for Barnstead in the works even before our last budget process was completed last fall and kept it a secret until the very last moment before his contract was to be renewed in Gilmanton. It’s a shame Barnstead’s School Board decided to put the news of their newly hired super in the newspaper before our School Board could pretend not to know about it. It’s also of no importance that he also knew he was going to work on developing a new AREA Agreement with Barnstead over the next couple of years and pretend that it “just came up” when it’s presented to the town. I guess it’s not important that the School Board finds it necessary to lie, cheat, or pre-tax our town for hundreds of thousands of dollars each year because the town doesn’t really care. Let’s face it, if you did, you’d show up and voice your opinion about it all. So, if you don’t have an opinion, then I must be on the wrong side of this. I’m sorry for all the letters attempting to inform you of what has been happening and I’m going to take a rest now. If this has all been too much for you then forgive me for bringing you any stress. I’ll take your silence as the answer to the question I’ve been asking for quite some time, which is, “Can you afford it?” Elena Ball Gilmanton Iron Works (For as long as I can afford to stay!)
Please return our ladder; you can borrow it again if you like To the editor, For some time now we have been at a loss, that is, of a ladder. It is eight feet tall, had about seven steps on it, and is green. Oh, and the very top of it is yellow. Evidently someone has borrowed it, and has just forgotten to return it to “ My Coffee House”. If you are finished using the ladder,
please just return it in the same way you borrowed it. The ladder is very much needed. It will be there if you need to borrow it again. Thanks from, “Your Neighborhood Coffee House” John Morin Laconia

Philpot briefs lawmakers on county priorities: corralling jail expense is job 1 By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Moving forward on plans to build a new jail and revamp the way the Belknap County Department of Corrections and the County Attorney’s Office does its business is job one for the county, said Commissioner Ed Philpot last night. Referring to the “huge” capital investment proposed for over the next few years in the county’s corrections and judiciary, Philpot told the Belknap County Convention that while building a new jail is important it is equally as important to be utilized in “the most effective method.” He said the Jail Planning Committee, which meets bi-weekly and has a number of key players like Superintendent Daniel Ward and Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen as members, is examining existing resources and approaches used by
other counties and states, like drug and mental health courts, to make sure the county is doing more than just adding cells. “The most expensive thing we can do is build more cells,” said County Administrator Deb Shackett. “If we build it we’ll fill it,” she said, noting Belknap County has the highest incarceration level in the state as well as one that rivals most counties in the nation. Philpot told the delegation that four representatives from Belknap County may be selected to attend a seminar in Colorado that, if the county is accepted for participation, would likely not cost the county much money as transportation and accommodations would be paid for by the program. In other county matters, Philpot told the delegation the roof project at the Belknap County Court House is ongoing and nearing completion. He added
Parade Road motorcycle wreck results in head injuries LACONIA — A Pittsfield man was injured when this motorcycle collided with an automobile near the intersection of Parade Road and Right Way Path around 10:35 a.m. on Sunday. Donald Lilljedahl, 57, of 172 Clough Road, Pittsfield, who was not wearing a helmet when the collision occurred, was taken by Fire Department personnel to Lakes Region General Hospital, where he was treated for head injuries before being transferred to a Boston hospital. According to police, Lilldejahl was
riding northbound with a number of other motorcyclists when a Ford Fusion, driven by Rock Drouin, 79, of 227 Ledge Drive, Laconia, entered the roadway from the breakdown lane and the two vehicles collided. Lilldejahl was thrown from his motorcycle. Neither Drouin nor his passenger were injured. Witnesses reported that Drouin was signaling to merge into the northbound travel lane prior to the collision. The accident remains under investigation.

the needed repairs to the Court House heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) are ongoing but are more involved than initially anticipation because the contractors have discovered there have been four ceilings installed in portions of the old building as opposed to the three the county initially identified. Other goals for 2012 are to continue the “county conversations” or the traveling road show where one or more commissioners meets with the elected officials in each of the county’s 11 municipalities and learns what the county can do for them. Philpot said the eye of the conversations is still towards the potential for regionalizing some municipal functions such as insurance, purchasing, and police dispatching. “We’re ready to find more efficient ways to get things done,” Philpot said. He noted that although the people of Barnstead chose to keep their own

police department, the county gained invaluable knowledge from information gathered during the process of determining if the shift from Barnstead to a Sheriff-operated system would be feasible. Philpot also reported that the dispatch consoles in the Sheriff’s Department have been installed and this is the first time in years the roof hasn’t leaked. In addition, he told the delegation the county nursing home air conditioning in the laundry room has been completed and is now compliant with state and federal codes. He also said county administrators are developing a “formal maintenance schedule” to get the best and longest use from the recent $2.7-million dollars spent to perform much of the above mentioned upgrades and repairs and expects it will be ready for adoption by the commission by the end of June.

TRASH from page one a pound, or $60 a ton, calculated in increments of 20 pounds to match the calibration of the scale. On July 1, 2013 the rate for loads of more than 100 pounds would rise to 4.5 cents a pound or $90 a ton. Harry Bean told the council that in a city where half the population lives in rented units, some 200 landlords would bear the cost of disposing of half of all the waste. “It’s not fair,” he declared. He said that he recently evicted three tenants who together owed $2,500 in back rent and left three-and-a-half tons of trash. “These people are not like you and me,” Bean told the council, explaining that they furnish their homes with contributions from charitable organizations and leave them behind when they are evicted or choose to move. When Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) asked why landlords do not return the furniture and other items to St. Vincent de Paul, Sheri Minor explained that “they won’t take it after they’ve used it. Not with the bed bugs and stuff.” “They are not my children,” Bean said. “You’re bur-
dening me with 47-percent of the city’s trash. Everybody should be responsible,” he insisted. “Raise everyone’s taxes.” He said that everyone contributes to their rent subsidies, food stamps and welfare payments and asked why should landlords alone bear the cost of their trash. Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) pointed out that the effect of the current fee schedule is to provide the landlords, who dispose of large amounts of waste, with a subsidy at the expense of other property taxpayers. When the council voted on the measure, Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) referred to the rising cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste and said “it is time to do something. It’s not always pleasant, but it’s our job.” NOTES: The City Council unanimously approved the proposed collective bargaining agreement with the State Employees Association, which represents employees of the Department of Public Works. The contract provides for both a cost-of-living adjustment and step raises, which municipal employees

With Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) dissenting, the council approved the request of the Main Street Initiative, the successor to the Main Street Program, to host the Kelly Miller Circus at Memorial Field on July 6, 7 and 8. Recalling the damage to the playing field from vehicles, animals and crowds, Lahey questioned the wisdom of using the field for an unrelated purpose knowing that it would be unplayable for the time required to recover from the damage. . . . . . The council also approved a proposal by City Manager Scott Myers to designate an area of downtown an “Economic Revitalization Zone,” which will entitle firms investing in plant and equipment and expanding their payrolls to qualify for credits their liability for the Business Profits and Business Enterprise taxes levied by the state. The boundaries of the zone match the downtown tax increment financing district (TIF). GREECE from page 2 In other trading, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 15.04 points to 1,338.35. The Nasdaq composite sank 31.24 points to 2,902.58. The losses swept across the market. All 10 of the industry groups within the S&P 500 fell. JPMorgan Chase’s $2 billion trading loss continued to hang over bank stocks. JPMorgan dropped 3 percent following news that the executive overseeing its trading strategy would step down. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, two banks with large trading operations, sank more than 4 percent.

If voters reject the tax increases in the fall, Brown is proposing $6 billion in additional automatic spending cuts, almost all of which would fall on K-12 schools. “Cutting alone really doesn’t do it,” Brown told reporters in releasing his $91 billion general fund budget plan. “And that’s why I’m linking the serious budget reductions — real increase to austerity — with a plea to the voters: Please increase taxes temporarily on the most affluent and everyone else with a quarter of a cent sales tax.” Another $2.5 billion would involve delaying paying debt and other internal borrowing. Brown said his balanced approach was a fair and reasonable way to balance the budget. The sales tax increase would last four years while the income taxes on the wealthy would be raised for seven. The revised budget deficit is $6.5 billion more than the $9.2 billion gap Brown anticipated in January. He blamed the widening shortfall on court judgments that prevented him from making cuts to programs such as MediCal and In-Home Supportive Services and on the state’s sagging economy. Unlike many other states, California has yet to show significant progress in emerging from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Unemployment has crept back up to 11 percent, among

Councilors insists cooperation from Baldi is quickest way for Weirs biz owners to realize their saloon demolition goal By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — John Ganong, longtime resident and realtor at The Weirs, presented the City Council with a petition bearing more than 100 signatures urging that steps be taken to raze what remains of the Wide Open Saloon, which burned in September 2010. Without naming Brandi Baldi, who owns the building, Ganong referred to the Baldis as “neighbors. Their good people. They lost their building. They lost their business. That’s one wrong thing.” Then he added “there’s another wrong thing. The building is still there.” Eight months after the fire, at the request of the city, Judge Jim Carroll of Laconia District Court ordered Baldi to demolish the building and when she appealed his decision to Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O’Neill, III reaffirmed it. The Baldi appealed O’Neill’s order to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which agreed to hear it, but has yet to schedule a court date. Ganong asked the council to do whatever it could to expedite the legal proceedings. The businesses at The Weirs, he stressed, have just 16 weeks to turn a profit and the charred remains of the building at the foot of Lakeside Ave. are “absolutely a disgrace.” BAND from page 2 and this is something that needs to change. ... No one has taken accountability for what has happened. This thing didn’t start only five years ago. This thing has happened the past 50 years.” FAMU President James Ammons said Monday that the band, which has performed at Super Bowls and in inauguration parades, should not take the field again until a new band director is hired and new band rules are adopted. Among the rules being considered: Academic standards for band members, more chaperones on out-of-town trips and limits on how long a student can remain in the band. Ammons also said that it is “critical” that all ongoing investigations into the band be wrapped up before moving forward. He said he will reevaluate his decision next year, but made no promises when the band would return.
All six councilors readily agreed that the building should be demolished as soon as possible, but offered little hope of ending the gridlock. Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) told Ganong that “the shortest way home is for the Baldis to take action. The control is with the Baldis.” He asked “do you have any insight why we are are where we are” and suggested that some of those closest to the family speak with the Baldis. Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), an attorney, doubted much could be done to expedite the proceedings at the Supreme Court and, echoing Lipman, placed the onus on the Baldis. “ Cooperation is the quickest way,” he said.

LACONIA — Nominees for the first annual Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce Hero Awards were unveiled at a press conference at the chamber’s office on South Main Street Monday afternoon. It is the first time that people under serious consideration for three well-known community awards and one new one have been identified ahead of time. The event will be held on Thursday, May 31 from 5–8 p.m. at the Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford according to Karmen Gifford, executive director of the Chamber. One of the awards to be given out that night is the esteemed James R. Irwin Award for community service. “Creating an event to specifically announce and recognize our Community Heroes is important to not only the Chamber but also the community to be able to give the deserved recognition to those who
are nominated as community leaders,” says Gifford. She said that the presenting sponsor for the event is Citizens Bank and thanked the bank, which was represented by Bob Fischer, north regional manager, who said ‘’we believe it is important to recognize individuals who dedicate their time and service to the communities in which they live and work. To us, a good bank allows citizens to invest in other citizens, which is why we are so excited to partner with the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce to present the first annual Community Hero Awards.’’ Nominees are: — Irwin Award: Ed Darling; Kathy Calvin; Allan Beetle and Alex Ray. There were 33 nominations. — Hurst Award: Jim Aberg; William “Billy” Hurd; Melissa Rizzo and Ken Merrifield. There were 12 nominations. — J.

Police break up underage drinking party on Eastman Shore Road
LACONIA — Police arrested 10 youths who were charged with unlawful possession and intoxication after they broke up what appeared to be a party attended by as many as 35 teens between 14 and 19 years old. Police were called to 49 Eastman Shore Drive South at 6 a.m. Sunday morning for a report of a physical altercation and said they found a number of young people milling about in the dirveway. Many of the party-goers ran into the house when they saw the police while others ran into the neighboring woods, leading police to call for additional personnel. Police said there found three people sleeping in automobiles and one of them, Bryan Courtemanche, 18, of Merrimack was charged with being in possession of a controlled drug. In what may be related, police also responded to a two-car motor accident at the intersection of Meredith Center Road and Lane Road. While there were no serious injuries, police charged one driver, Cory Yudkin, 18, of Merrimack, with driving while intoxicated.
AWAKE from page 2 could allow her to one day use prosthetic fingers. Andy Copeland told NBC’s “Today” show Monday his daughter remains unaware of any of this. It’s not clear exactly when her breathing tube could be taken out. “Obviously she’s going to have a lot of questions and there will be a lot revealed to her that day, a lot of things that are going to generate some very emotional responses from Amy,” Copeland’s father said. The woman, a graduate student in psychology, remained in critical condition Monday at Doctors Hospital in Augusta. Just over a week ago, her family was told her chances of survival were very slim. Copeland contracted the rare infection, called necrotizing fasciitis, within a few days after suffering a deep cut when she fell from a zip line that snapped over rocks in the Little Tallapoosa River. She was on a kayaking trip with friends. Doctors at the local emergency room in Carrollton closed the wound with nearly two dozen staples, but it became infected within a few days. On May 4, she was diagnosed with the rare infection and flown 200 miles to Augusta for treatment by specialists. One expert — who is not involved in Copeland’s care — said Monday if surgeons have been able to get ahead of the spread of her infection, and if Copeland is on the right antibiotics, then the worst may have passed. “Every hour that goes by, her prognosis improves,” said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University. She probably still has months of care and rehabilitation ahead of her, he said. Copeland’s family has remained at her side, playing her favorite music by Bob Marley and others to help her relax and heal. Doctors are using drugs to help keep her calm and sedate. “They are giving her medication to help her forget the stress she’s under, so that explains her inability to recollect many things,” her father posted over the weekend on a blog he’s using to update friends and supporters. “This is good for her, but mildly frustrating for us. It frustrates me because I want her to be able to focus on what she can control, not on things see next page

diarrhea from swallowing bacteria in the water. Flesh-eating Aeromonas cases are so rare that only a handful of infections have been reported in medical journals over the last few decades. At the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, where Copeland was preparing to dive into work on her master’s thesis, friends held a vigil last week and were organizing a blood drive Tuesday. Friends describe her as positive and tenacious when it comes to tackling problems — attributes they say should help her in what’s sure to be a long recovery. “We just pray that she gets through this,” said Richard LaFleur, a fellow graduate student who works with Copeland in the psychology department. “Life will not be the same, but I know that Aimee can adapt. And whatever we have to do to help, we will.”

Her doctors were not commenting Monday, said hospital spokeswoman Barclay Bishop. Infections by flesh-eating bacteria are rare but sometimes can run rampant after even minor cuts or scratches. The bacteria enter the body, quickly reproduce and give off toxins that cut off blood flow to parts of the body. The affliction can destroy muscle, fat and skin tissue. Affected areas may have to be surgically removed to save a patient’s life. The bacteria that infected Copeland, a bug called Aeromonas hydrophila, is found in warm and brackish waters. Many people exposed to these bacteria don’t get sick. When illnesses do occur, it’s often

BOSTON (AP) — Evan Turner made the go-ahead layup with 40.4 seconds left and Philadelphia held off Boston the rest of the way with six straight free throws as the 76ers evened the second-round Eastern Conference series with an 82-81 victory Monday night. Turner finished with 10 points, including his layup that put the Sixers up 76-75. He added two free throws with 12 seconds to go. Jrue Holiday scored 18 points and Andre Iguodala added 13 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the Sixers, who blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter as the Celtics won Game 1. Kevin Garnett had 15 points and 12 rebounds and Ray Allen scored 17 points for the Celtics. Game 3 is Wednesday in Philadelphia. Philadelphia won its first playoff game in Boston since 1982 despite committing a playoff-high 19 turnovers and getting outrebounded 47-36. Spencer Hawes finished with eight points and 10 rebounds and Lavoy Allen scored 10 points for the Sixers. Brandon Bass had 12 points for the Celtics, who couldn’t quite repeat their comeback in the series opener. The Sixers led by 10 points early in the
fourth quarter of Game 1 before the Celtics rallied for a 92-91 victory. It was starting to look familiar for Philadelphia on Monday, but the Sixers were able to hold off the Celtics down the stretch in a tight finish. Philadelphia led 57-49 entering the fourth, but Boston tied it twice before going up 72-71 on Avery Bradley’s 3-pointer, setting off a series of shots from beyond the arc. Holiday answered with a 3 for the Sixers, then Ray Allen got the lead right back for the Celtics on a 3-pointer with 1:40 left. The Celtics had a chance to extend the lead after forcing the Sixers into a 24-second shot clock violation, but Rondo missed a shot and Iguodala got the rebound, leading to Turner’s layup to put the Sixers up 76-75 with 40.4 seconds to go. Rondo and Allen both missed shots that would have put Boston ahead, then Rondo fouled Turner with 14.4 seconds left as the shot clock was winding down. The Celtics fouled Turner again with 12 seconds and he hit both free throws to extend the lead to 78-76.
Lester and Nava carry Red Sox past Mariners 6-1 BOSTON (AP) — Jon Lester felt he was in a perfect frame of mind. Now his teammates are feeling better about themselves at Fenway Park, too. Lester held Seattle scoreless until the ninth inning en route to his second complete game of the season, helping the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 6-1 on Monday. Lester (2-3) coasted through the first eighth innings, holding the Mariners to six singles and
going to a three-ball count just twice. “When you’re working fast, it’s a good thing to be able to pitch and not think about anything,” he said. “Sometimes you have nights like this where things are going your way.” Lester allowed eight hits, struck out six and didn’t walk a batter in recording his eighth career complete game. He retired the first nine batters easily, throwing 14 or fewer pitches in each of the first three inning. Lester threw 119 pitches over all. “When you get the batters making early contact and fly balls guy after guy, it helps,” he said. Daniel Nava and Kelly Shoppach each homered for Boston, which has won four straight — all at Fenway. David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez added consecutive RBI doubles for the Red Sox. Boston is on its longest home winning streak since capturing nine straight last July. “We’re trying to build a foundation of confidence in our team,” Boston manager Bobby Valentine said. “When Jon is out there pitching like that, we feel very good about ourselves.”

Loretta A. Patrick
MOULTONBORO — Loretta Anna Patrick (Albers) passed away on May 2, 2012, at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia, surrounded by her loving family. Loretta leaves behind her devoted husband of 61 years, Jesse, along with her son, Jeff Patrick of Moultonboro, New Hampshire, and four daughters, Kathy Holly of Meredith, New Hampshire, Robyn Patrick-Mayer of Millis, Massachusetts, Lynn James of Grass Lake, Michigan, and Jamie Wilson of Moultonboro, New Hampshire. She is also survived by nine grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, three sisters, two brothers, and many nieces and nephews. Loretta was a born care-giver. She selflessly gave support, encouragement, and love to all who knew her. One of the jobs that she dearly loved during her lifetime was as a YMCA camp director in Florida. Years
later in New Hampshire she worked as the meal planner and preparer for the Meals on Wheels program in Moultonboro. She was also an avid Red Sox fan. Gardening was one of her favorite activities, and she could encourage anything to grow. Her kitchen window was filled with orchids and fairy gardens, that seemed just happy to be there growing for her. Another activity that gave her great joy was doing Tai Chi. She loved to stay active. Loretta was also fearless, and loved to have adventures. Together she and Jesse moved the family to Athens, Greece for several years, followed by years spent in Iowa, Florida, and finally Moultonboro, where they have lived for the past thirty years.

SOME THINGS ARE FOREVER If you ever lost a part of your tooth structure due to trauma or decay, you probably have a filling (dental restoration) in your mouth. It will generally last for many years; but it will eventually need to be replaced. Teeth can usually be retained for a lifetime with proper care, but fillings can crack or chip, wear out slowly, or fall out quickly when decay undermines them. Decay germs will work their way into any gaps between the tooth and the worn or cracked filling. If your dentist discovers a filling that needs to be replaced, you should get it done as soon as you can. Without treatment your tooth will not get better - it will actually get worse over time. A minor restorative need left untreated can lead to a major restorative which ends up being more expensive. A minor restorative need left untreated will eventually develop into a toothache. At that point, the tooth needs either root canal therapy (which enables you to retain and restore it), or extraction. Should you need restorative dentistry, ask your dentist what kinds of fillings are available and which is the best one in your situation. Just like preventive medicine, timely dental care is the wise choice if you want to save time, save money, and save your teeth. George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re constantly meeting new people, and today will be no exception. Choosing the right person to further your interests will be a matter of intuition. Credentials mean less than your gut reaction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your creativity is boundless. That’s why you don’t mind setting a few limitations in order to home in on your work. Ideally, what you produce will be both novel and useful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll do something for the intrinsic reward of doing it. Then something interesting happens: More rewards come forth, the likes of which you wouldn’t have expected. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The events of the day will have a way of refreshing your joy. Wherever you find a kernel of happiness, nurture it by repeating the formula that led to your good feeling. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you haven’t accomplished what you wanted to accomplish, it’s no cause for alarm or self-imposed punishment. Instead, it’s a cause for compassion and for trying again. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 15). Your excitement about this new phase of life will grow as you recognize the benefits of being your age. There are things you couldn’t do before that you can do now. Your talent will be showcased in June and again in October, and each time your performance will lead to a raise. Many want you on their team in July. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 12, 48, 4 and 23.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Butterflies can fly because their whole modus operandi is to travel lightly. You’re the same now. You have no intention of making a bigger deal than needs to be made about anything. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Exercise can be anything you want it to be. There are many reasons why you’ll feel the need to get moving, the least of which is to burn calories. You’ll actually think better when you’re in motion. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re not in a very ambitious mood, and you feel happier because of this. One small goal is all you presently need. After a while, all of your small goals will add up to a big accomplishment. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The act that will heal you isn’t complicated or expensive. It’s not a grand life event or a sweeping gesture. The act that will heal you is as simple, small and free as laughter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Reading about life in books isn’t the same as getting actual experience. Also, you’re likely to be misled by the one who spreads hearsay. So seek counsel instead from the one with personal experience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Moods are what happen when feelings multiply. Because moods are more pervasive than feelings, they are more powerful. So pick a good one; stay cheerful and amused. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a sense of urgency that may feel like unwelcome pressure, but it doesn’t have to be experienced as such. Urgency can be your ally -- a dynamic energy that motivates you to greatness.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, May 15, the 136th day of 2012. There are 230 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 15, 1972, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace was shot and left paralyzed by Arthur H. Bremer while campaigning in Laurel, Md., for the Democratic presidential nomination. (Wallace died in 1998; Bremer was released from prison in November 2007 after serving 35 years of a 53-year sentence for attempted murder.) On this date: In 1602, English navigator Bartholomew Gosnold and his ship, the Concord, arrived at presentday Cape Cod, which he’s credited with naming. In 1776, Virginia endorsed American independence from Britain. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed an act establishing the Department of Agriculture. Austrian author and playwright Arthur Schnitzler was born in Vienna. In 1930, registered nurse Ellen Church, the first airline stewardess, went on duty aboard an Oakland-to-Chicago flight operated by Boeing Air Transport (a forerunner of United Airlines). In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure creating the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, whose members came to be known as WACs. Wartime gasoline rationing went into effect in 17 Eastern states, limiting sales to three gallons a week for non-essential vehicles. In 1963, astronaut L. Gordon Cooper blasted off aboard Faith 7 on the final mission of the Project Mercury space program. In 1972, the United States returned the prefecture of Okinawa to Japanese administration. In 1975, U.S. forces invaded the Cambodian island of Koh Tang and recaptured the American merchant ship Mayaguez. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan told a gathering of out-of-town reporters at the White House he did not consider himself “mortally wounded” by the Iran-Contra affair. In 1991, Edith Cresson was appointed by French President Francois Mitterrand to be France’s first female prime minister. One year ago: Thousands of Arab protesters marched on Israel’s borders with Syria, Lebanon and Gaza in an unprecedented wave of demonstrations, sparking clashes that left at least 15 dead. Finland scored five late goals to beat Sweden 6-1 and claim its second title at the ice hockey world championship played in Bratislava, Slovakia. Today’s Birthdays: Playwright Sir Peter Shaffer is 86. Actress-singer Anna Maria Alberghetti is 76. Counterculture icon Wavy Gravy is 76. Singer Trini Lopez is 75. Singer Lenny Welch is 74.

‘New Hampshire’s Grange Movement’ program presented in Belmont on Friday BELMONT — Stephen Taylor, who served as commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture for 25 years will discuss “New Hampshire’s Grange Movement: Its Rise, Triumphs and Decline” on Friday, May 18 at 7 p.m. at the Corner Meeting House. Much of rural New Hampshire in the late 19th century was locked in a downward spiral of population decline, abandonment of farms, cleared lands returning to forest and shrinking villages. These declines contributed to widespread feelings of melancholy and loss among the rural residents. The rural communities’ hunger for a new vehicle that
would draw communities together for social interaction, entertainment and mutual support helped foster the development of the Grange movement in the state in the 1880s and 1890s. As the Grange rapidly established chapters throughout the state, its influence in public affairs expanded greatly as well. By 1910 the Grange had become a major force in policymaking in Concord with many of its members rising to important leadership positions, including that of governor. The Grange brought an agenda that aligned closely with the Progressive wave that swept New Hampshire politics in the early 20th century and many of the
initiatives it advocated became law, placing the state at the leading edge in a number of areas of reform. Taylor has long been involved with agricultural and agricultural issues in New Hampshire having served as Commissioner of Agriculture from 1982 until 2007. He currently serves as a freelance writer for various agricultural newspapers throughout New England. Since his retirement as commissioner he has also partnered with sons in the operation of Taylor Farm, Inc. in Meriden, a commercial dairy, maple and cheese making enterprise. The presentation is free and open to the public and is a program of the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
CONCORD — The New Hampshire National Guard will host a reception for Laconia-based artist Elaine Morrison on Thursday, May 17 at 11 a.m. at Joint Force Headquarters, 1 Minuteman Way in Concord. The public is invited to attend. For the past three months, Morrison’s collection of paintings entitled “War” has been on display at the NH Guard’s headquarters building. Inspired by her son-in-law, a U.S. corpsman, the pieces include a range of disciplines and techniques depicting scenes of combat and its effect on service members. “It’s my way of honoring all veterans,” said Morrison, a retired special education teacher who works with the homeless including veterans. Maj. Gen. William Reddel III, the Adjutant Gen-
eral of the New Hampshire National Guard, will recognize Morrison for her work and her “unique and extraordinary ability to portray the American serviceman at war.” “We were fortunate for the opportunity to display Elaine’s work for as long as we have,” Reddel said. “It’s been very thought-provoking for our guardsmen and others who have come through the build-
ing. She is telling the story of the combat veteran in a very honest and caring way.”

Laconia Historical and Museum Society Presents “When Disaster Strikes: Stories of the Most Disastrous Events in Laconia’s History” Exhibit May - August In 1846, when Laconia was still known as Meredith Bridge, a fire destroyed nearly all of the buildings in town. Displaying resilience, the townspeople rebuilt. Just fourteen years later, another fire devastated the town again. This time, not only did the townspeople rebuild for the future, but also, they established a fire department to protect it. Since the mid19th century, disaster has struck Laconia many times, often in the form of fire, sometimes with extreme weather, other times as pure happenstance. Regardless of the form of disaster, Laconia has persevered. When Disaster Strikes retells and illustrates the city’s most disastrous events to honor those who suffered through them and communicate how Laconia was shaped by them. This exhibit is presented by the Laconia Historical and Museum Society with generous support from the Laconia Public Library and a special thanks to the Lakeport Association, the Laconia Fire Department, Russ Hobby, and Bob Fortier. Exhibit on display through August.
Hours: Monday - Thursday 9am - 8pm • Friday 9am - 6pm Saturday 9am - 4pm For more information, call 524-4775. We have wireless ... inside & out!!

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My brother-in-law, “Travis,” has been in a relationship with his girlfriend, “Kristin,” for eight years. They now have two young children. Kristin has cheated on him too many times to count and continues to do so. They fight about it constantly. The problem is that Travis is so wrapped up in what Kristin is doing with various other men that both of them have put their children on the back burner. At the moment, the kids are living with Kristin’s parents. Kristin says the kids are the most important thing to her, but she definitely doesn’t show it. She’s only a mom when it’s convenient for her. And Travis is the same way. Travis is being treated for depression due to his relationship, but, Annie, he is never going to change her into the woman he wants. He refuses to leave her, saying he wants to keep his “family” together, but they are hardly together as it is. I don’t see how this is good for the kids. Travis isn’t innocent, either. He can’t keep a job because he would rather “babysit” Kristin. He is lazy and thinks the world owes him something. The two of them have tried counseling apart and together, but they never stick with it. As a family, we don’t know what to do. We’ve talked to Travis until we are blue in the face. Why can’t he see that this is a toxic relationship? How do we get him to care more about his children instead of their poor excuse for a mother? -- Worried Family Dear Worried: Travis and Kristin have a co-dependent relationship that is going nowhere. And it will continue until one of them decides he or she has had enough. You cannot make this happen. Instead, please concentrate on those kids. Neither parent is fit to raise them. Are Kristin’s parents providing a stable home life? Can you spend more time with the children, taking them out on weekends? Your goal should not
be to provide Travis with a better marriage. It should be to help care for those children so they can grow up to be more mature than their parents. Dear Annie: My sister and I are estranged. Our father is in his 80s, and although I have no need to be friends with my sister, I would like us to be able to sit in the same room together for my father’s sake. I do not understand why we have never gelled. My sister says it’s because I am jealous of her. I feel we are on different planets. And if her expectation of our relationship is not met, she thinks we cannot have any relationship at all. I wish only the best for my sister, but whenever we get together, it is ugly. Should I continue to push for family time even though I don’t want to be alone with her? My father seems OK with things as they are, but I’m a parent now, too, and I would be devastated if this were the situation with my kids. -- No Family Time Dear Family: We think your father would rather see you individually than watch things get “ugly” in front of him. Would you and your sister consider counseling together? Unless the two of you can work out some kind of detente for Dad’s sake, it might be best to leave things as they are. Dear Annie: I read with amusement the letter from “Santa Cruz,” the lesbian who objected to the way she was stared at in foreign restrooms. I have short hair, rarely wear makeup and have also been treated rudely abroad. It never occurred to me that it was an issue of sexual orientation, because I am straight. I assumed it was because I wear comfortable shoes, look people in the eye and act more assertively than women of that culture. Your advice to be polite and charming is spot on and works non-verbally, as well. -- Also from Santa Cruz
