Revised State School sale bill sails through Senate Legislation would allow state to sell property to Laconia for less than $10M; House action up next

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — Legislation authorizing the sale of former Laconia State School property at its “fair market value” carried the N.H. Senate on a voice vote without debate yesterday.

The legislation, in the form of an amendment to House Bill 1205, repeals a provision of the companion bill to the 2012-2013

state budget stipulating that the property be offered to the city of Laconia for “not less than $10-million.” The Senate decided to change course after the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) appraised the property at $2.16-million and the City Council, after officially receiving the state’s $10-million offer, authorized City Manager Scott Myers and City Council Matt Lahey (Ward 2) to make a counter

Study finds coffee drinkers live a little longer

MILWAUKEE (AP) — One of life’s simple pleasures just got a little sweeter. After years of waffling research on coffee and health, even some fear that java might raise the risk of heart disease, a big study finds the opposite: Coffee drinkers are a little more likely to live longer. Regular or decaf doesn’t matter.

The study of 400,000 people is the largest ever done on the issue, and the results should reassure any coffee lovers who think it’s a guilty pleasure that may do harm.

“Our study suggests that’s really not the case,” said lead researcher Neal Freedman of the National Cancer Institute.

“There may actually be a modest benefit of coffee drinking.”

No one knows why.

Coffee contains a thousand things that can affect health, from helpful antioxidants to tiny amounts of substances linked to cancer. The most widely studied ingredient — caffeine — didn’t play a role in the new study’s results.

It’s not that earlier studies were wrong. see COFFEE page 6

J.C. Penney’s shares in free-fall after report of 1Q loss NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street doesn’t seem to like J.C. Penney’s new everyday low pricing any better than Main Street does.

The department store chain’s stock plunged nearly 20 percent on Wednesday— the biggest decline since the 1987 market crash. The drop comes a day after Penney said it would no longer pay out a dividend and blamed its first-quarter loss on poor reception by shoppers to its strategy of getting rid of hundreds of sales each year in favor of predictable low prices every day.

The pricing plan, which was rolled out on Feb. 1, aims to stop the cycle of heavy discounting and discourage customers from waiting for sales. But the reaction by investors and shoppers shows how difficult it will be for Penney to change the mindset of consumers who have been conditioned to expect blockbuster deals from Penney during the economic downturn.

It also puts more pressure on new CEO Ron Johnson, a former Apple executive who is trying to transform Penney from a has-been to a retail darling. The same

investors that initially supported the man who masterminded both Apple’s successful retail stores and Target’s cheap chic strategy prior to that, now seem to be losing confidence in Johnson’s plan.

“The honeymoon is definitely over for Johnson,” said Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions, an independent research firm. “He sold the (pricing) story hard.”

Penney did not return calls seeking comment, but Johnson asked investors to be see PENNEY page 10

John Edwards decides not to testify on his own behalf; defense rests

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — John Edwards’ team wrapped up their defense Wednesday without calling the ex-presidential candidate, his mistress or daughter to testify, a move experts say was intended to shift focus from a political sex scandal to the nitty-gritty of campaign finance law.

“The defense wasn’t sexy, but the defense doesn’t want sexy. It wants an acquittal,” said Steve Friedland, a professor at Elon

University School of Law and former federal prosecutor who has attended much of the trial.

Experts said Edwards’ bare-bone defense, which lasted just over two days, may be enough to avoid conviction on charges he authorized more than $1 million secretly provided by two wealthy donors to help hide an affair with pregnant mistress Rielle Hunter as he sought

the White House in 2008.

The prosecution presented nearly three weeks of evidence and testimony from a former Edwards aide and campaign advisors that painted Edwards as a frequent liar, but showed no direct evidence, he intended to break federal campaign finance laws, the experts said.

Many observers believed Edwards would see EDWARDS page 13

Pastor of 4,500 member Detroit church assaulted, robbed & carjacked

DETROIT (AP) — Popular Detroit pastor and gospel singer Marvin Winans has been assaulted and carjacked at a gas station on the city’s west side.

Detroit police say the attack happened about 3:20 p.m. Wednesday and say the suspects fled in Winans’ SUV after taking

an unknown amount of money.

The 54-year-old minister tells WXYZ-TV that four or five young men followed him from inside the gas station and attacked him while he pumped gas into his vehicle.

Winans says he wasn’t seriously hurt, but planned to seek medical attention.

He says his attackers appeared to be among 10 young men he passed by inside the station.

Winans is pastor of the 4,500-member Perfecting Church on Detroit’s east side.

In February, he gave singer Whitney Houston’s eulogy.

N.H. House & Senate pass plans to give businesses tax breaks for K-12 scholarships CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire’s House and Senate passed similar plans Wednesday to give businesses a tax credit for donating to scholarship organizations to send students to private or public schools.

The House voted 236-97 to funnel the donations through organizations that provide scholarships of up to $2,500 to start. The scholarships would be adjusted annually. Home-schooled children could receive one-fourth of that limit for educational expenses. The amount of tax credits could not exceed $3.4 million the first year.

The Senate voted 17-7 Wednesday to pass a similar bill.

The bills attempt to target low- and middle-income students for the scholarships and regulates 70 percent of the scholarships for the first year to students

warranting adequate education grants, but would decrease each year thereafter.

Districts losing state aid above a certain threshold would receive additional money to partially offset the loss of funding when students leave their schools.

Both bills specify that eligible students must come from low-income families. But the version passed by the Senate removed a provision that would have allowed exceptions for special circumstances in see SCHOLARSHIPS page 10

UNH study finds state’s population growing at slowest rate in 50 years DURHAM (AP) — A new report analyzing New Hampshire’s changing population says the trend of fewer people moving to the state will have serious implications if it continues.

The Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire says the state’s population growth over the last 10 years was the slowest in five decades, though it was still the fastest growing state in the Northeast.But the dynamics behind that growth

have changed. From 1970 to 2000, people moving into the state produced much of the increase. In the last decade, that migration has sharply decreased.

The report says that has significant implications because the state has long benefited from the social, economic and intellectual capital that migrants bring to the state.

The report used U.S. Census data and other information.

Trouble ahead as baby boomers head for the barn When the April figures on unemployment were released May 4, they were more than disappointing. They were deeply disturbing.

While the unemployment rate had fallen from 8.2-percent to 8.1-percent, 342,000 workers had stopped looking for work. They had just dropped out of the labor market.

Only 63.6-percent of the U.S. working age population is now in the labor force, the lowest level since December 1981.

During the Reagan, Bush I and Clinton years, participation in the labor force rose steadily to a record 67-percent. The plunge since has been almost uninterrupted.

Here is a major cause of the economic malaise of the 21st century, a condition over which a president has little control. A shrinking share of our population is carrying an ever-expanding army of dependents.

If this were a result of American women going home to have kids, that would be, as it was after World War II, a manifestation of national vigor and health.

But that is not the case here. The number of Americans of working age not in the labor force grew in April from 87,897,000 to 88,419,000 — by an astonishing 522,000.

This is an immense army for the rest of society to carry.

Why are Americans dropping out?

Some have given up looking for jobs in towns they grew up in, because the jobs are gone and not coming back, and they don’t want to leave. Some are rejecting the lowwage unskilled work being offered, because the alternative — unemployment checks and federal and state welfare — is not all that torturous.

With some, the work incentive was never implanted. With others, the option of moving back in with the parents is not all that terrible.

America, it seems, is becoming less like the country we grew up in, in its attitudes about work and idleness, and more like Europe.

Whatever its causes, this social and economic torpor that seems beyond the capacity of presidents to correct or cure is a dark cloud over the hopes of Barack Obama for a second term.

And yet another ominous cloud, no longer on the far horizon, is now directly above: the impending departure from the labor force of 70-million baby boomers in the next two decades. According to the Statistical Abstract of the United States, from Jan. 1, 1930, to Dec. 31, 1935, there were 13-million births in the U.S. From January 1940 through December 1945, there were 16-million.

This was the Silent Generation, born in Depression and war. It never produced a president, and never

will, unless Ron Paul catches fire pretty quickly. The Greatest Generation gave us six presidents, starting with JFK and ending with Bush I. Our three most recent presidents — Bill Clinton, Bush II, Barack Obama — are all baby boomers And here we come to the heart of our next economic crisis. If one adds up all the children born between Jan. 1, 1946 and Jan. 1, 1965, the era of the great American baby boom, the total comes to 77-million babies born in the United States.

Why is this so significant now?

Because this year, 2012, the first wave of baby boomers, all those born in 1946, like Clinton and George W. Bush, will reach 66, and eligibility for full Social Security and Medicare benefits. The boomers, en masse, will start moving off payrolls onto pension rolls.

Let us assume the 77-million boomers are down to 72-million.

This means that over the next 20 years, boomers will be retiring and reaching eligibility for Social Security and Medicare at a rate of 3.6-million a year, or 300,000 a month, or 10,000 every day.

Three hundred thousand a month leaving the labor force may help to explain its shrinkage. And as the boomers are the best-paid, besteducated generation we produced, the loss of their collective skills, abilities and tax contributions will be as heavy a blow to the nation as the funding of their Medicare and Social Security will be a burden to the taxpayers they leave behind in the labor force.

Since Roe v. Wade, abortions have carried off 53-million of the generations that were to replace the boomers. While those 53-million lost have been partially replaced by 40-million immigrants, legal and illegal, our recent immigrants have not exhibited the same income- or taxproducing capacity as boomers.

In 1965, LBJ announced his plan to convert our ordinary society into a Great Society. Since then, trillions have been spent. The fruits of that immense investment? The illegitimacy rate, dropout rate, crime rate and incarceration rate have set new records, as the test scores of high school students have plummeted to new lows. Our labor force is shrinking, the number of dependent U.S. adults is growing, our social programs are failing, and our best educated and most productive generation is retiring.

To borrow from Merle Haggard, “Are the good times really over for good?”

LETTERS Business is risky; no amount of regulation will prevent losses To the editor, JP Morgan earned a $5.4-billion profit in the first quarter of 2012. It is on course for making a multibillion profit in 2Q2012 and a $20-plus-billion profit for the year despite its recent $2-billion loss. Businesses take risks, and some risks do not work out. Businesses are at risk daily as they must win enough willing and able customers so companies can pay employees, taxes, fees, and other expenses.

This JPMorgan loss has again kicked off liberal demands for even more regulations on an already highly regulated industry. How are regulators supposed to prevent losses from business risks? Businesses like banks are in the business of risking money.

To keep banks from taking risks, you must stop them from making loans.

None of the current regulations and regulators, e.g., SEC, FED, FDIC, Sarbanes Oxley, Dodd-Frank, and many many others, didn’t stop this loss. They didn’t stop the MF Global loss. Bernie Madoff was registered with the SEC which didn’t stop that fraud. The FED had responsibility for the N.Y. Banking system, but it didn’t warn of or prevent the housing credit crisis.

It is silly to think that a few more regulators or regulations will prevent losses. The purpose of more banking regulations is to provide more highpaying, do nothing jobs and to provide political control over an essential indus-

try allowing rewards for friends and punishments for political enemies.

The JPMorgan loss has no similarity to the MF Global loss. The JP Morgan loss was in its own account, not a penny of client money was lost or at risk and JP Morgan has opened its books for investigation. The MF Global loss was reported to be $1.6-billion of misappropriated client money. Could the reason the slow investigation of the MF Global loss be because the head of MF Global was former Democrat Senator, Democrat Governor of New Jersey and multi-million dollar Obama fund-raiser John Corzine?

Business is risky. No amount of regulation will prevent all business risks unless they end business. But, regulations add costs which make U.S. businesses less competitive compared to foreign companies. Regulations give a false sense of security to investors who think regulators are eliminating risks. And, the more regulations and regulators the more politicians seem to think that the public has an obligation to protect investors from losses.

What America needs is more competition, fewer regulations, more personal civil and criminal responsibility by executives for the success and losses of their businesses, and the end of all subsidies, loan guarantees, and bailouts for private companies and industries.

Romney & Bain Capital didn’t care how the worker’s made out To the editor, Who should be our next president and how to determine it? Romney or Obama? Unfortunately there are still those that will only vote for a R or D no matter who the candidate is.

Why do they even bother? I feel the best president is one who cares for the country and the welfare of its inhabitants FIRST. A person like Romney will put himself first and the country second. Unless he starts doing a numer of “re-mitts” (changing his mind from one idea to another — thanks to Chris Mathews). Just check his work history, his stint as Governor in Mass. – 47th jobs and the 2002 Olympics games (bailed out by the government, thus paid for by us the taxpayers). Bain did create some jobs

and destroyed many others. Quite a few of the jobs created closed down other companies. The steel company closed and about 750 lost jobs; Staples closed smaller stationery stores; a sporting good company cost smaller stores jobs, and so on. I didn’t see anyplace where he INVENTED a new industry and created new jobs. Any jobs created were from consolidating other smaller industries — some worked and others didn’t. Similar to the Walmart concept. He didn’t care how the workers made out. Some lost pensions and savings.

The Bain goal was to make money, if the company failed — try again. The workers were just throw aways. Main goal was making money — the good see next page

LETTERS Just what we need: 3 liquor stores in 8 miles; connected by bad road

How can Leo Sandy write something like that to the public?

To the editor, There is a God.The State of N.H. Liquor Commission is considering opening a new store off Exit 20. So now I can get my Frangelico in Franklin, my Bacardi in Belmont and my Tequila in Tilton. Three State Liquor Stores within eight miles of each other. I haven’t been this excited since landing in Shannon Ireland.

In truth, the state monopoly on liquor and lottery is only surpassed by MetroCast’s $70 dollars a month for BASIC CABLE — that and a cheap bottle of red at home is a date these

To the editor, I could not believe my eyes when I read what Leo Sandy wrote about German families supposedly abusing their children. What a terrible misrepresentation he made in his column that was in your newspaper May 8. I was born and lived in East Germany as a little girl — until the 2nd World War ended. After that, I lived in West Germany and I never (and I’ll say it again), never saw any of the many children I knew among family and

days. The papers say the state is looking at possible sites off exit 20. Any Flatlanders coming up for the summer know where the SLS are, give the tourist some credit, it only took them 10 years to figure out there’s no EXIT 21.

All kidding aside, Route 3 from Laconia to Franklin is in deplorable condition. It shows me where the powers that be in Concord’s priorities are.

Greatly expanded mental health benefit is advantage of Obamacare To the editor, Mental health issues are part of our daily lives. Probably mental health issues have affected you, one of your family members, one of your friends or just someone you have heard about.

Until Obamacare, most health insurance plans drastically restricted the amount of coverage you could receive from preceding page of the workers was secondary or really didn’t matter.

Obama was a community organizer who put his community first and not himself. Just the opposite of Romney because he knew that if the community worked then the residents were doing okay.

for mental health care. Co-pays and deductibles were high and ceiling limits were low. Many people with mental health problems were not able to afford care or had very limited care.

Under the Affordable Health Care Act, mental health benefits must be provided at the same level as medical and surgical benefits. In other words, many more people with mental health problems are going to get the help that they need. According to an article in the Foster’s Daily Democrat dated January 16, 2011, this provision under the Affordable Care Plan would cover about 485,000 people in New Hampshire alone.

friends ever get abused or mistreated.

Leo Sandy is supposedly an educated person? How can he write something like that to the public? He owes the German families an apology.

I hope, Leo Sandy, that you will study up more on your topics, and learn the truth before you attempt teaching others about something you yourself know nothing about.

Why didn’t Prof. Sandy go right to source & quote Alice Miller?

To the editor, I read Leo Sandy’s column on parenting Nazis. I agree with all of it and I’ve seen this line of reasoning before.

What is interesting to me is that he quotes a paper written by Mary Katherine Armstrong, which almost word for word restates the writings of Alice Miller. I don’t know why Mary Katherine Armstrong bothered to write her paper. It’s all already been said and

in much greater depth by the person she copied it from. She may have seen these ideas borne out in her treatment of her therapy clients, but these ideas are not hers. She did not come up with them.

Why didn’t Sandy go right to the source and quote Alice Miller? I don’t get it.

Where were all the anti-SB-2 voters on Town Meeting night?

To the editor, How can 256 taxpayers on Sanbornton’s Town Election day show up to vote — in the privacy of the voting booth — against SB-2 and yet a total of only about 140 people showed up at the Town Meeting the next day?

I am confused, if you voted against SB-2 why didn’t you take the time to show up at your town meeting? Per-

haps you didn’t understand the question on the ballot election day!

We, the 305 taxpayers who did vote yes on question one, in favor of SB-2, will be back again next year and will adopt SB-2 with the help of those who have changed their mind after getting this year’s tax bill.

State okays beer & wine sales as Kings Grant Inn property owner makes plans to open new restaurant & night spot; DJ will be only live entertainment allowed

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — Kelsey’s at the Grant, Mardi Gras, N.H. of Gilford will reopen as a beer and wine only restaurant that can employ a disk jockey as its only live entertainment, ruled the N.H. Liquor Commission yesterday in a unanimous decision.

The decision to allow property owner Willard Drew to remove his liquor license from “safekeeping” was allowed but only after a 20 minute discussion about terms and conditions was hashed out in private between Drew, his attorney David Bownes, Gilford Police Chief Kevin Keenan, Gilford Town Administrator Scott Dunn, and N.H. Bureau of Liquor Enforcement Chief Eddie Edwards.

The decision was initially opposed

by Edwards until Bownes and Drew presented a written plan for reopening to the commission. Because Keenan, Dunn and Edwards had not reviewed the plan, the commission agreed to a recess to allow all the parties to reach some kind of accord.

After a N.H. Drug Task Force led a raid on what was then Called the Mardi Gras North Cabaret on October 18, 2011 that resulted in seven arrests for alleged drug related activity, in December Drew voluntarily placed his liquor license in “safekeeping status” with the state liquor bureau — a move that prevented him from reopening the night club but kept the license active until it expires on June 1.

Drew was leasing the property to the cabaret owners but the liquor license they were using on the premises was in his name.

Employees and customers of what was then an adult-entertainment (strip) club later described a harrowing tale of being set upon by two SWAT teams, DTF agents, and most of the members of the Gilford Police Department who were also accompanied by all three selectmen and other civilian employees of the town of Gilford. Their accounts detail what they considered unnecessary damage to coolers and safes, the confiscation of an in-house surveillance system, and the deliberate destruction of the night club’s property.

Reports issued later by the town revealed numerous building code and food safety violations while on the night of the raid police found a variety of drugs on four of the employees who were working that evening. Police logs detailing confiscated items also noted police allegedly found a loaded handgun that had been reported stolen in one of the office safes but, to date, no criminal gun possession charges have been filed against anyone associated with the former Mardi Gras North.

In the five month interim, the night club remained closed and Gilford selectmen adopted a revamped live entertainment permit policy that, among other things, prevents any live entertainment licenses from being issued to people who are not the actual holders of the liquor license.

The Commission had initially scheduled a hearing that was to have been held in mid April that would determine the definitive future of Drew’s liquor license but that meeting was canceled at the last minute by agreement of both parties.

Bownes explained yesterday that he and Drew pushed the commission for a temporary solution to the voluntary license surrender because the final hearing is not scheduled until May 31 and June 1 (it is expected testimony could last more than one day) and without a temporary solution Drew would be unable to open for Memorial Day and not have enough time to prepare for annual Motorcycle Week — both typically huge money-making events for all area restaurants and night clubs.

Among the conditions Drew, Edwards and town officials agreed to yesterday was to reopen the kitchen such that it will satisfy health, fire and food permits, clean the ventilation hood and fire suppression systems, and have a local company service all of the ice machines, freezers and

refrigerators.

In addition, the lounge area would have new D.J. equipment, enhanced room lighting, and a “shunt” that would shut down the music system should the fire alarms sound. Drew said he would also install a camera system that would monitor all entry ways, cash registers, and changing and locker areas. No surveillance will be allowed in the customer rest rooms.

He also plans of opening four occupancy units adjacent to the lounge that he hopes will increase his bottom-line income.

MOULTONBOROUGH — At a joint meeting of the Selectboard and School Board the two bodies voted to extend the life of the Advisory Budget Committee (ABC) and make it a permanent part of local government. The committee was first appointed in 2008 to provide a third party review of the budgets and other financial items presented to the voters. It had been on a series of one year extensions while the two boards made minor changes to its composition to refine a membership they felt best reflected this purpose.

The chairman of the School Board, Mark Borrin, said, “I am thrilled with the continuation of the ABC committee and pleased with how the committee has worked hand in hand with the School Board over for the last four years for the benefit of our community at large. The School Board looks forward to working with the advisory committee as we develop budgets in the future.”

The Budget Committee now consists of six members of whom three are citizens at large while the other three represent the Selectboard, School Board, and Library Trustees.

There are also two citizens as alternate members. The citizens at large will serve a three year term while the alternates will each serve for a two

year term. Currently there are several vacancies on the committee, which the boards hope to fill in time for the new members to become immersed in the 2013 budget planning process.

The chairman of the Selectboard, Joel R. Mudgett, said, “These people put in countless hours of effort and bring a wide variety of potential efficient to our attention. I think they serve the taxpayer well and expect they will continue to do so for quite some time.”

Persons interested in serving on the Advisory Budget Committee may submit a letter of interest to the School Committee Chair at SAU 45, PO Box 419, Moultonborough, NH 03254 or the Selectboard Chair at Town Hall, PO Box 139, Moultonborough, NH 03254. They may also hand deliver them to Town Hall or download the Volunteer to Serve Your Town Form at www.moultonborughnh.gov (Click on Paid, Volunteer, and Contract Opportunities) and email it to the Town Administrator at cterenzini@moultonborouoghnh.gov. A full review of the Committee’s work and the many reports they have issued can also be seen on the town’s web site by clicking on Town Committees and then clicking on the Advisory Budget Committee’s link.

COFFEE from page 2 There is evidence that coffee can raise LDL, or bad cholesterol, and blood pressure at least short-term, and those in turn can raise the risk of heart disease.

Even in the new study, it first seemed that coffee drinkers were more likely to die at any given time.

But they also tended to smoke, drink more alcohol, eat more red meat and exercise less than non-coffee-drinkers.

Once researchers took those things into account, a clear pattern emerged: Each cup of coffee per day nudged up the chances of living longer.

The study was done by the National Institutes of Health and AARP. The

results are published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.

Careful, though — this doesn’t prove that coffee makes people live longer, only that the two seem related. Like most studies on diet and health, this one was based strictly on observing people’s habits and resulting health.

So it can’t prove cause and effect.

But with so many people, more than a decade of follow-up and enough deaths to compare, “this is probably the best evidence we have” and are likely to get, said Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health. He had no role in this study but helped lead a previous one that also found see next page

Sanbornton police introduce new e-notification service that allows residents to keep in touch SANBORNTON — The Police Department is not utilizing a new communication system that allows it to send important, valuable community information directly to residents using the latest technology.

Chief Stephen Hankard said The Nixle Community Information Service allows “us to create and publish messages to be delivered to subscribed residents instantly via cell phone text message and/or e-mail.” Notifications can also be accessed online at Nixle’s web site at www.nixle.com and our web site at www.sanborntonpolice.org.

Messages may include missing persons, warnings of criminal activity, as well as other relevant safety and community event information.

Through this system, Hankard said, the Police Department and Fire Department will be able to keep the community informed of public safety issues that could affect our citizens.

“This knowledge will keep our community safer and may help us solve the emergencies that may come up,” he said. “The service is secure, reliable

and easy to use for our group.”

The messages can be sent specifically to residents registered within a 1/4 mile radius, giving them the opportunity to receive trustworthy information relevant only to their neighborhood. Residents decide from which local agencies they want to receive information. Subscribers can also choose the way in which alerts are received, whether it is by email, text message, or over the web.

Nixle builds on the foundations of other public-to-public communication services, such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, but adds a key component: security. “When citizens receive information from our agency via Nixle, they know it can be trusted,” said Hankard.

Residents of Sanbornton and those in neighboring communities can immediately begin receiving pertinent information via text message, e-mail, and web by registering at www.nixle. com or www.sanborntonpolice.org.

“We are very excited to have you experience it for yourself,” said Hankard.

Belknap Co. House reps were behind 24-hour notice abortion bill all the way CONCORD — All 16 members of the House of Representatives elected in Belknap County present and voting yesterday — all Republicans — endorsed legislation requiring women to wait 24 hours for an abortion by adding it to a Senate bill increasing the research and development tax credit for business.

The bill requires that women be given explicit information about the gestational development of the fetus, details of the abortion procedure, medical risks of the abortion and alternatives to terminating the pregnancy.

In March, the so-called “Women’s Right to Know Act” passed the House 185 to 138 and a month later was scuttled by the Senate by the narrowest of margins, 12 to 11. At once the House attached the bill to the Senate bill doubling the research and development tax credit from $1-million to $2-million, which carried the Senate from preceding page coffee beneficial.

The new one began in 1995 and involved AARP members ages 50 to 71 in California, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Atlanta and Detroit. People who already had heart disease, a stroke or cancer weren’t included. Neither were folks at diet extremes — too many or too few calories per day.

The rest gave information on coffee drinking once, at the start of the study.

“People are fairly consistent in their coffee drinking over their lifetime,” so the single measure shouldn’t be a big limitation, Freedman said.

Of the 402,260 participants, about 42,000 drank no coffee. About 15,000 drank six cups or more a day. Most people had two or three.

By 2008, about 52,000 of them had died. Compared to those who drank no

by a unanimous vote of 24 to 0.

The business lobby urged the House not to add the abortion provision to the tax credit bill for fear the Senate would reject the entire package.

Although the House Finance Committee recommended deleting it, the full House adopted the tax credit bill with the mandatory waiting period attached 198 to 100.

Representatives Harry Accornero, Don Flanders, Bob Kingsbury, Bob Luther and Frank Tilton of Laconia, Peter Bolster and Robert Malone of Alton, Guy Comtois and Elaine Swinford of Barnstead, Jim Pilliod of Belmont, David Russell of Gilmanton, Bob Greemore and Colette Worsman of Meredith, Tyler Simpson of New Hampton, and Dennis Fields and Bill Tobin of Sanbornton voted in favor. Representatives Alida Millham of Gilford and Jeffrey St. Cyr of Alton were absent.

coffee, men who had two or three cups a day were 10 percent less likely to die at any age. For women, it was 13 percent.

Even a single cup a day seemed to lower risk a little: 6 percent in men and 5 percent in women. The strongest effect was in women who had four or five cups a day — a 16 percent lower risk of death.

None of these are big numbers, though, and Freedman can’t say how much extra life coffee might buy.

“I really can’t calculate that,” especially because smoking is a key factor that affects longevity at every age, he said.

Coffee drinkers were less likely to die from heart or respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes, injuries, accidents or infections. No effect was seen on cancer death risk, though.

Other research ties coffee drinking to lower levels of markers for inflammation and insulin resistance.

LHS students share insights into local economy with members of Independent Business Alliance

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Laconia High School students who took part in a project researching the Laconia area economy presented the results of their work to members of the Belknap Independent Business Alliance (BIBA) at the organization’s annual meeting at the Pitman Freight Room Wednesday night.

The project was a collaborative effort involving local businesses and social studies teacher Steve Tucker’s citizenship class.

Tucker said that the project has taken about four months and that members of the class were assigned to research different areas, including the impact of Bike Week, the history and changes in the

local economy and the impact of shopping at locallyowned independent businesses.

Sophomore Amila Hadzic, who researched the history of the Laconia economy said that Laconia has seen a decline in manufacturing jobs over the last 40 years and that its demographics show that the

city has an aging population with far fewer skilled workers than before.

She said that her research shows that service and health care jobs are now the biggest part of employment in the city and that the poverty rate in the city has increased. ‘’I wasn’t aware of this before. It scares me that the population is decreasing and that it is shrinking the economy,’’ she said.

Another sophomore, Danielle Cote, said that her research had shown how important tourism is to Laconia, noting that one of every four homes in the city is a vacation home. She also said that home prices have been decreasing in recent years and that there are fewer airline passengers arriving at New Hampshire airports than there were three or four years ago. ‘’If the population keeps decreasing we will need tourism even more to make up for the lower level of local spending,’’ said Cote.

She described the research project as very worthwhile and said Fixed Rate Home Equity Loan that it had forced her to ‘’get out of my comfort zone and get out and interact with a whole lot of people.’’

Seth Nute, a senior, and John Hammond, a sophomore, researched the impact of spending at locally-owned independent businesses on the local economy and said that 45-percent of the money spent at those businesses is Got big plans for a renovation?

STATE SCHOOL from page one the budget. He also expressed his appreciation to City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who was in the Senate gallery, for his contribution towards charting a future for the property.

The legislation prescribes that the sale would be subject to the statute (RSA 4:40) governing the disposal of state-owned real estate, which stipulates that the property must first be offered to the municipality where it is located and cannot be sold for less than its “current market value.” The sale would require the approval of the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, composed of nine voting members, four senators, four representatives and a representative of the governor’s office.

In addition, the transaction must be approved by

the governor and Executive Council. The legislation specifies that the sale must close by May 1, 2013 and the proceeds deposited in the revenue stabilization reserve account, or “rainy day” fund.

Since the Senate amended a bill adopted earlier by the House, it must be returned to the House, which may concur by accepting the Senate version, decline to concur or decline to concur and request a committee of conference to resolve the differences between the two chambers.

Since the Senate also attached an amendment to HB 1205 adding $1.7-million to the capital appropriation to the court system for investment in information technology, the House is most likely to request a committee of conference. The House is expected to act on the bill when it meets today.

HEBERT from page one Numerous knowledgeable sources have told The Daily Sun that Hebert was homeless and that is was his body that was pulled from the river.

Lieutenant Matt Canfield of the Laconia Police said yesterday that police believed they recognized the man and, when the Medical Examiner was unable to make a positive identification by conventional means, provided a DNA sample. Canfield said that he has been informed that the results of the DNA will be complete in “a couple of days.”

Canfield added that while the death remains under investigation, at this time there was indication that the death was the result of foul play.

Meanwhile, members of the Hebert family placed an obituary that appeared in local newspapers on Wednesday and arranged a memorial calling hour at the Carriage House of the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home ay 3 p.m. this afternoon, which will be followed by a memorial service at 4 p.m.

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 Laconia Fire Department, which provided a boat and cordoned off the river, Laconia Police, together with officers of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and Marine Patrol, recovered the body from the bottom of the channel between the island and the shore in approximately 30 feet of water.

Hebert was widely known as one of a number of homeless people who lived rough along the south bank of the Winnipesaukee River. In January, he was allegedly stabbed by a female acquaintance with whom he shared a tent in a wooded area behind All-In-One Storage on Winnisquam Avenue.

According to his obituary, Hebert was a 1977 graduated of Laconia High School and was employed at N.H. Ball Bearing for many years.

Hammond said a 2011 survey by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance gathered data from 2,768 independent businesses, including retailers, service pro-

viders, restaurants and others. It found that those in places with a “buy local” initiative reported revenue growth of 5.6-percent on average in 2010, compared to 2.1-percent for those elsewhere.

He said ‘’it makes sense to buy local’’ and that he wasn’t aware until this year of the impact buying local can have on the economy.

Performance and Safety Critical for Retiring in today’s turbulent times

Today is the day you’re going to start to make the right choices with your retirement assets. At this stage in your life, 60 plus, making pour choices impacts the way you’re going to live out the rest of your days. On one hand, the long term rising costs of living can reduce the buying power of a fixed income, but on the other hand, market volatility can dramatically impact the performance of your retirement portfolio.

Solution In today’s market, an annuity is the only personal financial vehicle that can offer you both the growth potential and the security of guaranteed income payments.

In 2008 Mass Mutual Financial Group released an updated study in which a portfolio incorporating stocks, bonds, and incremental purchases of an annuity, produces more guaranteed lifetime income, develops more liquidity to address other retirement needs, and builds more long-term wealth than other commonly adopted retirement income strategies.

“Incorporating a fixed income annuity in a retirement income account yielded greater long-term wealth for an investor – along with more income security than a portfolio of equity and bond investments alone, even in an ‘up’ market.”

Source: Mass Mutual Financial Group, study of retirement income account allocation among equities, bonds and fixed income annuities, (updated May 2008).

The study, which tested four strategies for managing a retirement income account over 181 time periods (referred to as cases) between 1965 and 2006, found that the three strategies involving an income annuity, whether purchased all at once or over time, generally out performed the stock and bond only strategy, regardless of market conditions at the time. In fact, the investment only approach, even during strong equity and bond markets, ran out of money in 25% of the cases. In contrast, the strategy of laddering into a life annuity matched the income goal in 100% of the cases tested.

While the stock and bond only strategy preserved the original deposit in 45% of the cases tested, the laddered life annuity strategy preserved the original deposit in 93% of the cases tested.

• For the 45% of the stock and bond only cases the average liquid value of the laddered life annuity strategy was 66% higher.

• In every case, the laddered life annuity strategy matched the income of a life and 20 year certain annuity (which offered no liquidity) utilizing 100% of the deposit, and on average more than tripled the original deposit at the end of the period.

• In contrast to a strategy of living off interest and preserving the original deposit, the laddered life annuity strategy matched the income in every case and on average resulted in more than 5 times the original deposit.

Retirement income distribution is critical for insuring that you and your spouse never run out of monies. Naturally there is a place for equities and I’m not suggesting to rid yourself of your investments. However, a smart choice with “some of your monies” is going to protect your way of life with annuities and the benefits of laddering.

N.H. Senate votes to end review of need for hospital building projects in 5 years CONCORD (AP) — Both House and Senate lawmakers in New Hampshire want to get rid of the process for approving hospital construction and expansion, but they disagree on timing.

The state Senate voted Wednesday to eliminate the board that approves such projects in five years. The House voted in March to eliminate it immediately.

The board’s goal is to manage health

costs, supporters of eliminating the board argue the process hinders competition that would drive down costs.

Sen. Ray White of Bedford called the process “baloney” and said there is no evidence the board has done anything constructive. But Sen. Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro said lawmakers should give themselves plenty of time to come up with a comprehensive plan to fix the system.

SCHOLARSHIPS from page 3 which a family was facing a temporary financial hardship.

State Sen. Jim Forsythe, R-Strafford, said there was some concern that the provision would have allowed money to go to wealthy families.

Each chamber next reviews changes made to its bill and has the option of passing it, killing it or asking to negotiate a compromise.

Supporters say the scholarships would give parents a choice for their children.

“There are reasons for choice and that’s what this is all about,” said state Rep. Rick Ladd, R-Haverhill.

Opponents argue it is unconstitutional to use taxpayer funding to send

students to religious schools.

State Rep. Marjorie Porter, R-Hillsborough, also said diverting money from public schools to private and religious schools would mean higher costs to the public schools. She said public schools could be left with the poor, disabled and homeless students who cost more to educate and fewer students with fewer problems who are less costly to educate.

“Our local public schools will be caught in a tight bind. They’ll have higher cost students to educate with less state aid,” she said.

She also said the only way private schools would be held accountable for how they spend the money would be through a parents’ satisfaction survey.

PENNEY from page 2 patient during a meeting with them on Tuesday. He acknowledged that Penney has a long way to go toward convincing shoppers not to wait for sales.

But he said he needed to make a bet on predictable pricing in order to turnaround Penney, which has been struggling in recent years because of the economic downturn and increased competition. Going forward, he said the company will do more to better communicate the benefits of the new pricing strategy to shoppers in ads.

“Our first 90 days are little tougher than we expected,” Johnson told them.

“We learned. Coupons are a drug.

They really drove traffic.”

Penney has long said the pricing plan would take time to work. But Johnson has tempered his tone since January when he announced the strategy that was supposed to make pricing simpler. Unlike Wal-Mart’s iconic everyday low pricing, Penney’s strategy doesn’t try to undercut competitors, but rather focuses on offering customers predictable prices.

Penney rolled out a series of ads intended to familiarize customers with its three-tiered strategy. The plan features everyday prices that are about 40 percent less than a year ago, monthlong sales on select items and clearance events during the first and third Friday of each month.

But observers say the ads — which mimic rival Target’s whimsical style — are confusing. In one TV spot, for instance, a dog continuously jumps through a hula hoop that a young girl is holding. The text reads: “No more jumping through hoops. No coupon clipping. No door busting. Just great prices from the start.”

Wendy Ruud, a resident of Boca Raton, Fla., says she doesn’t understand the commercials. Furthermore, she has stopped shopping at Penney because she no longer gets coupons

from the retailer.

“I haven’t really tried to educate myself” on the plan,” Rudd, 49, said.

“But then I shouldn’t have to.”

The first sign that Penney’s new pricing plan wasn’t resonating with customers came last week when Macy’s CFO Karen Hoguet told analysts that sales were rising at Macy’s locations that share the same mall as Penney stores.

Then, on Tuesday, J.C. Penney Co. reported that it lost $163 million, or 75 cents a share, in the three months ended April 28, compared with a profit of $64 million, or 28 cents a share, in the year-ago period.

Revenue dropped 20 percent to $3.15 billion for the quarter as customer traffic slipped 10 percent. Meanwhile, revenue at stores opened at least a year — a figure used to measure a retailer’s health — was down 18.9 percent. That’s a much steeper fall than the 11.4 percent drop Wall Street was expecting.

Penney, based in Plano, Texas, also said it would discontinue its 20 cent per share quarterly dividend so that it could reap cash savings of $175 million to fund its transformation.

Investors, who had sent Penney shares soaring 24 percent to about $43 after Johnson announced the pricing plan in late January, had already pushed Penney’s shares down to around $34 since after it was rolled out in stores. On Wednesday, a day after Penney reported the disappointing results, its stock fell 19.7 percent, or $6.57 to close at $26.75— the largest percentage drop since Oct. 19, 1987 when shares slid 19.2 percent to $19.50.

David Abella, a portfolio manager at money-management firm Rochdale Investment Management, could see this as a buying opportunity because the Penney’s shares are cheaper now. But he says he’s holding off on buying because he finds the company’s 20-percent drop in sales at a time when many other retailers have enjoyed better results worrisome.

— PRESENT —

‘Gone With The Wind’ in 5 minutes; Sant Bani students introducing Lakes Region to Swede films

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — In the 2008 feature film “Be Kind Rewind,” a video store employee and his hapless friend inadvertently erase every VHS casette in the store. To try and save the already threatened store, they re-record each title, shooting the films after hours and using whatever props and people were available. To their surprise, customers love the truncated, campy recreations of the films, which the protagonists pass off as alternative versions that are shipped from Sweden.

Sometimes life impersonates art, it seems. In the wake of the film, “Swede” film festivals have begun sprouting up around the country. Rose Marie Marinace, a teacher at Sant Bani School, heard in November a report on National Public Radio about the phenomenon and decided the idea was too good to pass up.

Now, seven well-known feature films have been given the “Swede” treatment by Sant Bani students.

The films, which are shorter than five minutes each,

will be shown at the first-ever New England Swede Fest, held on Saturday at the school and beginning at 4 p.m. There’s no admission cost, and Marinace will be handing out freshly-popped corn.

Although the festival was limited to students for the inaugural event, it is Marinace’s intention that the festival will be opened to submissions from the general public at some point in the future. She encouraged curious members of the public to attend the festival and think about what film they’d like to “Swede”.

For senior Maxwell Duncanson, of Franklin, the movie “National Treasure” seemed like a good choice.

“I thought, it will be relatively easy, I thought we could use the grounds of the school, I also thought about the people in the group and we could use them as the actors.”

While conventional film projects see the makers toil over details of set and costume, and shoot scenes several times over until the director is satisfied, the “Swede” treatment relieves the production process of such precision. Instead, most scenes are shot in one see next page

Boothby Therapy Services honored for its commitment to performing arts in N.H.

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Maren and Christopher Boothby were more than a little surprised when they heard the name of their business, Boothby Therapy Services, announced as a winner of a Business in the Arts Award at Monday night’s New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts gala in Manchester.

“We didn’t expect to win and hadn’t prepared anything to say,’’ said Christopher Boothby, who said that fortunately Maren was able to pull together appropriate comments as they made their way from the very back of the room, filled with 325 people, to the podium.

“We were so surprised to win,’’ said Maren, whose acceptance remarks focused on the power of the arts to bring people together as a community and the role that her mother, a multi-talented teacher, potter and painter, had played in making the arts a major part of her family’s life.

Last December Boothby Therapy Services purchased $75,000 in tax credits in support of The Winnipesaukee Playhouse and also partnered with the Raymond School District in the creation of a theater production for children who use alternative communication devices such as iPads.

Christopher Boothby, who is chairman of the board of trustees of The Winnipesaukee Playhouse, said that he and his wife and their employees see support of the arts as an essential part the company’s mission of “Helping Children Succeed”.

He emphasizes how companies can find synergy between doing well and doing good. “We know that our local children require a vibrant arts culture to succeed as contributing members of our community.

Whether it is summoning the courage to step on stage for the first time, write and produce their own play or learn to do theatrical lighting or costumes, The Winnipesaukee Playhouse provides so many options for children to grow and develop regardless of their parent’s ability to pay.’’

Maren Boothby says that it was through the persistence of a friend that she first got involved with the Playhouse several years ago. ‘’I told her that I’d really love to do something other than work all the time. She suggested I attend a tryout for a part in one of their productions but I from preceding page take and props and set are supposed to be approximate suggestions of the places and things they’re supposed to be. The Sant Bani films were shot using a variety of recording devices, from a digital SLR camera that can capture video to an iPhone or a webcam. Most were filmed and edited within a day.

The challenge of making a “Swede” film, students learned, is figuring out how to convey the plot of a two-hour film within a five-minute window. “That’s the idea of Sweding,” said Andrew Mahn, an 11th grader from Hill.

didn’t go the first night. She called me the next day and said that I had to show up for the final tryout. I did, and I ended up with the part,’’ she recalls.

That role was of the mother in ‘’The Diary of Anne Frank’’ and Maren recalls that after arranging for tickets for many friends, all of whom sat in the front row, she was filled with stage fright and very concerned about whether or not she could perform well. ‘’But once I was on stage everything fell into place,’’ she said.

The Boothbys are longtime supporters of the playhouse and they share its vision of building a state-ofthe-art theatre campus in Meredith, on the grounds of the former Annalee Doll complex. see next page

“This is not a product that is supposed to be perfect,” said Marinace.

Imperfect, but better for it. Like the fictional characters in “Be Kind Rewind,” the Sant Bani students expect that their audience members will get a kick out of the amateur and hasty nature of the films.

Said seventh-grader Brenna Macaig, “The videos can be funny because they’re so cheaply made. It’s really fun to make them, too.”

Looking forward to future Swede Fests, Marinace said, “We want this to become a community thing — not just something Sant Bani students do.”

Meredith armed robbery accomplice has her sentenced reduced by 6 months LACONIA — A Belknap County Superior Court judge reduced by six months the 5- to 10-year sentence given to a former Laconia woman who pleaded guilty to driving two men to Meredith to rob a Massachusetts man who was staying in a house on Lake Street.

Julie Sallies pleaded guilty to her role in driving her late fiancee Robert Hart and their friend Michael Noucas to Meredith about 10 p.m. on the evening of May 10, 2010. In the ensuing botched robbery, Hart was killed allegedly by the man he was trying to rob while Noucas was seriously injured. He survived only because Sallies drove him to the front door of the Meredith Police Department where she left him before she returned to Lake Street to try and find Hart.

On Dec. 10, 2010 Sallies pleaded guilty to being an accomplice to burglary and was sentenced to serve five to 10 years in the New Hampshire State Prison for Women. Two years of

the minimum portion of her sentence was reduced provided she remained of good behavior while incarcerated and participated meaningfully in an in-house durg and alcohol treatment program. She was also credited with 165 days of pre-trial confinement.

Sallies also testified at the Noucas’s trial last year and willingly told the jury about her role in the crime. She said she was testifying because her fiancee had died in part because of her actions and her guilty plea and subsequent testimony was the right thing to do.

Sallies was also featured in a cable television news program called “Women in Prison” in which she spoke to her role in the crime and the life she had lead up until the robberygone-wrong.

Judge James O’Neill agreed to an additional six month reduction in her sentence because her motion was not opposed by the Belknap County Attorney’s Office.

EDWARDS from page 2 testify so the jury could hear directly from the former U.S. senator and trial lawyer, who had a reputation for his ability to sway jurors. But putting Edwards and Hunter on the stand would have exposed the defense to withering crossexamination about Edwards’ past lies and personal failings.

“The defense may very well have felt that their case was solid enough to go to the jury without the risk of the personal testimony of these witnesses, which would undoubtedly resurrect the salacious details of the affair for the jury,” said Catherine Dunham, another Elon law professor who has been attending the trial.

The defense also elected not to call Edwards’ oldest daughter, Cate, a 30-year-old lawyer who has sat behind her father nearly every day, as a character witness to help humanize him.

At one point during the trial, Cate Edwards ran out of the courtroom in tears during testimony about her cancer-stricken mother, Elizabeth, confronting her father about his extramarital affair.

Closing arguments in the case are set for Thursday; U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Eagles gave each side two hours to make their case. The jury will likely begin deliberations Friday.

Edwards is charged with six criminal counts including conspiracy to violate the Federal Election Campaign Act, accepting contributions that exceeded campaign finance limits, and causing his campaign to file a false financial disclosure report. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted of all charges.

The former Democratic presidential

candidate has sat quietly at the defense table throughout his trial, whispering with his lawyers and rarely showing reaction to the often emotional testimony from witnesses who were once among his strongest supporters and closest friends.

He has made no public statements since October, following a pre-trial hearing where a judge refused to throw out the case.

At the trial, prosecutors have shown two members of Edwards’ inner circle, campaign finance chairman Fred Baron and once-close aide Andrew Young, engaged in a yearlong coverup to hide the married presidential candidate’s mistress from the media.

The married Young falsely claimed paternity of his boss’ baby and received $725,000 in secret checks from an elderly heiress, using some of the money to care for Hunter.

Baron, a wealthy Texas lawyer, provided Young and Hunter with more than $400,000 in cash, luxury hotels, private jets and a $20,000-a-month rental mansion in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Prosecutors have introduced phone records, voicemails and other evidence showing Edwards in frequent contact with Baron, Young and Hunter while Hunter was in hiding.

Former members of Edwards’ campaign also testified that Baron spoke of “moving Hunter around” in the candidate’s presence and that Edwards told his speechwriter he knew “all along” what Baron was up to.

But in 14 days of testimony, no witness ever said Edwards knew he was violating campaign finance laws, a key element of criminal intent the government must prove to win a conviction.

from preceding page “The employees of Boothby Therapy Services are proud supporters of the Winni Playhouse. As patrons of the Winni Playhouse, we have seen how critically important the youth arts programs are to the full development of our local children,” said Maren. “As a growing company, the tax credits give us the opportunity to provide

targeted support for a local cultural gem.,’’ Yesterday the Boothbys held a special recognition ceremony at their office for their employees and told them that the award was a result of their efforts. ‘’It was team effort and we appreciate the efforts all of our employees have made to help support the arts.’’ said Maren.

‘Ora’s Boy’ author reading & signing at Laconia Public Library tonight, Annie’s Book Stop on Sat.

RFK Jr.’s estranged wife found dead in New York BEDFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s estranged wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who had fought drug and alcohol problems, was found dead in her home Wednesday.

Attorney Kerry Lawrence, who had represented her in a drunken-driving case, said he didn’t know the cause of her death at age 52. An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday.

Police confirmed a body was found on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s property in Bedford, north of New York City, but wouldn’t release the dead person’s name.

The former Mary Richardson, a longtime connection of the Kennedy clan, married Robert Kennedy Jr., a prominent environmental lawyer and the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, in 1994. The couple had four children, the youngest born in July 2001. Robert Kennedy Jr. also has two children from a previous marriage.

Mary Kennedy was an architect and designer and had overseen the renovation of the couple’s home into an environmentally advanced showpiece. Her family cited her devotion to her children in remembering her.

“We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her,” the family said in a statement issued by Lawrence. “Our heart goes out to her children who she loved without reservation.”

Neighbor Leslie Lampert, who owns the Cafe of Love restaurant a short drive from the Kennedy home, said Mary Kennedy was “at all times just a lovely individual.”

“She was community oriented,” Lampert said.

“She was always kind in our presence.”

Another neighbor, Kim Fraioli, a trauma therapist who lives a few houses down from the Kennedys, said the family was private.

Celtics in charge again after 107-91 win in Phila.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kevin Garnett yapped his way down the court after big baskets and clearly enjoyed taking it to the 76ers.

Rajon Rondo pushed the ball and relentlessly attacked the lane.

Paul Pierce gutted out a knee injury and grinded his way to the free throw line.

Boston hears the whispers that it’s too weary and too old to win another championship. By the time they forced Sixers fans to flee their seats, the Celtics proved it’s still too early to count them out.

Garnett scored 27 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and used a dominant second quarter to help the Celtics beat the 76ers 107-91 on Wednesday night and take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Whistled for a costly illegal pick late in a Game 2 loss, Garnett crushed the Sixers early and never let them think about a fourth-quarter rally.

Garnett scored 13 of Boston’s 32 points in the second quarter and the Celtics became the first team to win by double digits. Game 1 and Game 2 were each decided by one point.

Rondo had 23 points and 14 assists. Pierce, playing with a banged-up knee, had 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Game 4 is Friday in Philadelphia.

“We just wanted to come out and establish who we are as a team,” Pierce said.

That started with making Garnett a focal point.

Garnett had somehow become forgotten in Boston’s offense in Game 2 until the fourth quarter.

Coach Doc Rivers said the Celtics simply weren’t

going to the 16-year veteran because they had established an offensive presence in the low post.

The Celtics wouldn’t let that happen again.

They needed Garnett at his best in Philadelphia, where the Sixers had won their last four postseason games.

So much for that minor streak. Garnett made 12 of 17 shots and helped the Celtics outrebound the Sixers by 11 on the defensive boards. He buried those 10 to 16 footers with ease in the second quarter to turn a seven-point deficit into a 13-point lead.

“He got the ball in his spots,” Rondo said. “He hit a couple of fadeaways. A lot of those guys are smaller than him, so he was just able to turn around and shoot over them.”

Pierce had an MCL injury in his left knee rob him of his jumper and slow him down on both sides of the ball. He scored only 21 points combined in the first two games and failed to be the impact player the Celtics needed if they want to play deeper in the postseason.

All that changed in Game 3. He charged the lane in the first quarter for a couple of angry-looking dunks.

He even pounded the backboard for emphasis after one as if to show the Sixers he still had some lift in those legs.

“That’s who he is,” Rivers said. “That’s how he’s been even when he’s healthy. Paul’s just a grinder.”

He’ll need to do it again to hold off the Sixers.

Thaddeus Young scored 22 points and Jrue Holiday had 15 for the Sixers. Lou Williams and Jodie Meeks each scored 13. Starters Elton Brand, Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner combined for only 11 points.

Buchholz sharp but Rays snap Red Sox win streak at 5 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Clay Buchholz found some positives even in a tough loss.

Jeremy Hellickson pitched six solid innings, Luke Scott had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Boston 2-1 on Wednesday night, snapping the Red Sox’s five-game winning streak.

Buchholz (4-2) gave up two runs and six hits over five-plus innings.

“Change up came back tonight,” Buchholz said. “I felt really good throwing that.”

Buchholz, who took a grounder off his foot during the sixth inning, had allowed four or more runs in all seven of his previous starts this season.

“No,” said Buchholz when asked if the foot was an issue. “I think it was more after I came out. It’s a little sore. It’s nothing (to worry about).”

Hellickson (4-0) allowed one run and five hits en route to winning a career-best sixth consecutive decision, dating to Sept. 4. The right-hander struck out six and walked two.

Tampa Bay second baseman Will Rhymes left in

the eighth inning after being hit by a pitch near his right elbow. While standing at first base he gestured that he wanted to come out of the game, took a couple of steps and collapsed into the arms of first base coach George Hendrick. Trainers worked on Rhymes in the coach’s box before he was assisted to a utility cart and left the field.

The Rays said Rhymes briefly fainted, but that he is fine, remained at the ballpark for X-rays on his arm and was not taken to a hospital.

“He got kind of rubber-legged right there,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “That stuff hurts. I know it’s in the arm, but that can definitely take your breath away. It was described to me as kind of an adrenalin rush that caused that reaction.”

X-rays on Rhymes’ arm were negative, and he is day to day with a bruised right forearm.

“Scary,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said.

After Jake McGee and Joel Peralta both threw a scoreless inning, Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 12th save.

SANBORNTON — The first ever New England Swede Fest will be held at Sant Bani School in Sanbornton on Saturday, May 19 at 4 p.m.

The public is invited to this free event.

A “Swede” is a short, home-made recreation of a famous movie. The festival is a celebration of the films, not a competition; it is designed to be fun for both the movie makers and the audience.

The original Swede Fest is in Fresno, California and happens twice a year.

It recently expanded to Tampa, Florida, and now, with permission from Swede Fest in California, it is starting

in New England at Sant Bani School.

Submissions for this festival were accepted from students in grades 7 – 12 and were screened by the Festival Committee, made up of Sant Bani students and faculty advisor, Rose Marie Marinace. About the films Marinace said: “the Committee has been sworn to secrecy about the submissions, but I can share that there will be seven films, and they range from classics to movies in theaters today...and, of course, there will be popcorn.”

For more information about the Swede Fest or Sant Bani School visit santbani.org.

NH Jazz Presents vocalist Mary Gatchell May 21 LACONIA — NH Jazz Presents will host vocalist Mary Gatchell on May 21 at 8 p.m. at Pitman’s Freight Room, located at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia.

Mary Gatchell is a dynamic singer, pianist, and composer based in New York City. Her music is an eclectic soulful mix of singer/songwriter storytelling, jazzy harmonies, and solid rock/pop hooks. With four albums to her credit, she has played in legendary clubs such as the Bitter End, CBGB’s, Kenny’s Castaway, Blue Note, Cutting Room, Knitting Factory, Boston House of Blues, Ryles, and many more.

Gatchell’s new album, “Saturn Return” encompasses elements of classic pop and R&B fused with modern production sensibilities. It is a unique hybrid of contemporary genres while at the same time creating a sound completely fresh and new.

Produced by renowned drummer, Rodney Holmes, (of Santana, Brecker Brothers, Wayne Shorter) “Saturn Return” is a departure from her traditional piano driven recordings and performances.

Raised in Epping, New Hampshire, Mary cultivated her musical talents in voice, piano, and oboe gaining a solid foundation from her parents, both musicians. At 18, she moved to New York City to attend New York University. The city exposed her to all kinds of music, which significantly inspired her to write and explore different sounds and rhythms.

While continuing to study voice, piano, and oboe at NYU, she graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning her degree in Theory and Composition.

Another one of Gatchell’s passions is sharing and educating children through music. She has developed and implemented music programs for young, orphaned children in Ethiopia, Bulgaria, and just

recently, Haiti. Her new children’s album of all original music with her band, is set to be released this spring.

Tickets $12 at the door. Venue is BYOB. NH Jazz shows have a listening policy which prohibits talking, and use of texting devices, cell phones, video/ audio recording, laptops, gaming units, and cameras.

For information call the NH Jazz office (603) 2675387 during business hours or email jon@nhjazz. com Upcoming NH Jazz Shows at Pitman’s Freight Room: May 24 Samirah Evans & her Handsome Devils (Jazz Vocalist from New Orleans); May 28 Sharon Jones (NH’s Own Soulful Diva) This June, NH Jazz Presents will begin hosting shows at Blackstone’s Lounge at the Margate Resort in Laconia, for one night a week on Wednesdays.

Meredith Village Savings Bank supports NH Community Loan Fund MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) recently purchased $10,000 in tax credits through the Community Development Investment Program (CDIP) in support of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund (Community Loan Fund).

To date, community-oriented businesses like MVSB have purchased $120,000 out of a total of $337,500 in tax credits that were awarded to the Community Loan Fund by the CDIP. Tax credit contributions are being used by the Community Loan Fund to support its Individual Development Accounts (IDA) matched-saving program.

IDAs help participants save for a specific goal – whether that be a home, an education, a business, or a car. Participants are required to attend at least 10 hours of training on financial literacy and asset management; they learn about budgeting, saving, and how to be a successful homeowner, entrepreneur or student. They then put their lessons into action by saving funds each month in special bank accounts. For each dollar they save – up to $2,000 – participants receive a match of three dollars from the Community Loan Fund. This money is then made available to them when they complete the program, and is used toward acquiring the asset they are saving for.

“We are so thankful for this generous contribution from MVSB,” said Rick Minard, vice president for policy and programs at the Community Loan Fund.

“These tax credit purchases play a huge role in making it possible for us to continue to offer the 3:1 match to our IDA participants. By purchasing these

tax credits, MVSB has made a big difference in helping people with low incomes buy homes or vehicles, expand their small businesses, or go to college.”

Contributions through the Community Development Investment Program (CDIP) allow businesses to make a significant impact in the community by channeling tax dollars they might otherwise pay to the state or federal government to building economic capacity within their communities. Investors like MVSB may be able to use the 75% credit at any time during a period of five consecutive years, and it may be applied against New Hampshire business profits, business enterprise, and/or insurance premium taxes. The investment is also eligible for treatment as a federal charitable contribution.

The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund turns investments into loans and education to create opportunity and transform lives. The Concord-based nonprofit collaborates with a wide range of donors and investors, and with business, nonprofit and government partners, to provide the financing and support people need to have affordable homes, have quality jobs and child care, and become financially independent.

Bob Sargent (left), senior vice president, commercial lending officer at MVSB, and Sam Laverack (second from left), president and chief executive officer at MVSB, meet with Rick Minard (right), vice president for policy and programs for the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, at the bank’s main office in Meredith to celebrate MVSB’s recent $10,000 tax credit purchase in support of the Community Loan Fund.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis ence. This certainly makes life simpler, and it conserves energy, too. Your circle of influence will soon grow to include even more people and situations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll attain information about your goal. Keep learning until you’re both knowledgeable and wise. Wisdom is knowing how and when to apply your knowledge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Eye contact will reveal much. Look deeply into the eyes of the one you want to know, understand or persuade.

Bonus: The other person will feel like the most fascinating individual in the world.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

When it comes to a loved one, your commitment level is strong, and you’ll constantly act in a manner that proves it. Be forward-thinking, as well, and you’ll avoid falling into a relationship rut.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have something in common with top athletes today, as you’ll experience a situation in which everything seems to ride on one instant. You’ll shine in that instant, as graceful as ever.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 17).

More love comes into your life over the next 10 weeks. Family issues are happily sorted out in June, smoothing the way for your big plans. July brings an experimental mood. Your playful approach to work and life leads to money and fun. September introduces intriguing new environments -- and you’ll like who you are when you are in them. Leo and Libra people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 25, 40 and 13.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Before you can master a task, you must learn to master yourself. It will be much easier to do so when you get on your own side. Be nice. Self-correction can happen without self-punishment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll need some additional direction in order to get motivated. Ask the people in your organization, family or business to share their point of view. You’ll receive recommendations and useful ideas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll celebrate your passions, going deeper into the things that interest you. A knowledgeable air sign (that’s Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) will be a rich resource.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll enjoy the feeling that you’re moving fast and that lots of things are happening simultaneously. Later, you’ll count this among your most productive days.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Experiencing confusion while you’re learning something new is quite positive and necessary. The confusion makes your brain work at a higher level. Confusion makes you ask better questions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you want to believe something but can’t seem to fully get behind the belief, you probably need more information. It’s impossible to change your beliefs without learning something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You won’t have to come up with the passion it takes to reach a goal. You already have that passion inside you. All you have to do is stir it up a bit and then unbridle it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t concern yourself with any matter or person over which you have no influ-

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 17, 2012— Page 23

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, May 17, the 138th day of 2012. There are 228 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 17, 1937, Teddy Hill and His Orchestra recorded “King Porter Stomp” for RCA Victor’s Bluebird label in New York; making his recording debut was trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie.

On this date: In 1510, Early Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli died in Florence, Italy; he was probably in his mid 60s.

In 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its origins as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street.

In 1849, fire erupted in St. Louis, Mo., resulting in the loss of three lives, more than 400 buildings and some two dozen steamships.

In 1912, the Socialist Party of America nominated Eugene V. Debs for president at its convention in Indianapolis.

In 1946, President Harry S. Truman seized control of the nation’s railroads, delaying — but not preventing — a threatened strike by engineers and trainmen.

In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, unanimously struck down racially segregated public schools.

In 1961, Cuban leader Fidel Castro offered to release prisoners captured in the Bay of Pigs invasion in exchange for 500 bulldozers. (The prisoners were eventually freed in exchange for medical supplies.)

‘Lady Antebellum’ playing for tornado-battered high school’s prom INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tornadoes battered their school and homes, and spring break was spent cleaning up. Henryville has only begun to rebuild, but for one night, its high school students will get to put aside their worries for a private show by one of country music’s biggest acts.

The southern Indiana community will share the spotlight with Grammy-winning Lady Antebellum on Wednesday night at the KFC Yum Center in nearby Louisville, Ky., where the trio will stage a “mini-prom” bash for students at Henryville JuniorSenior High School, followed by a benefit for the dev-

astated community.

“With everything’s that’s happened — the tornado and the destruction — now we’ll have something else to remember for the rest of our lives,” said Henryville junior class vice president Kaitlyn Maloney, 17, who rode out the March 2 storm with her parents in the basement of their Henryville home. “This will give us something to remember that’s happy.”

The battered high school landed both events in late March by winning Lady Antebellum’s online “Own the Night” contest offering one school a concert at its prom. Schools as far away as northern Wisconsin

submitted YouTube videos on behalf of Henryville, an unincorporated town hit by two tornadoes — one packing 175 mph winds — on a day when storms killed 13 people in Indiana and 24 in Kentucky.

Singer Hillary Scott said the band was moved by what she called the “selfless” entries from other schools, including rival Silver Creek High School in nearby Sellersburg, Ind. “That was just such, honestly, an encouraging thing to think that those high schoolers, that generation, they’re that helpless, they want to help each other that much,” she said. “It was definitely an easy decision.”

Scott, who visited Henryville’s stormdamaged high school Wednesday in advance of the concert, tweeted afterward, “Seeing the destruction in person was TOUGH. Even more excited to hit the stage tonight!”

Lady Antebellum wasn’t able to perform at Henryville’s prom in late April due to a conflict with the band’s schedule. Instead, it opted for the mini-prom open to the 188 junior and seniors and their dates who attended the school’s formal prom, followed by a concert to benefit the town.

Each of Henryville’s juniors and seniors received five tickets for floor seating at the show.

The juniors and seniors at Silver Creek, the rival Clark County school that nominated Henryville, each received one ticket, said Tahnee Brown of concert promoter National Shows 2.

Lady A’s Charles Kelley said the band hopes to lift the Henryville community’s spirits by putting on a special show.

“We want to just go there and hopefully bring a little joy, meet them, shake their hands, encourage them to try to get through it as best as they can,” the singer said.

The sold-out benefit is accompanied by an online drive that’s one of several disaster relief efforts for Henryville. That online drive had generated more than $119,000 by Wednesday morning, but concert organizers say that reflects only a portion of the money that’s been collected.

Henryville senior Austin Albert, whose father, Troy Albert, is the high school’s principal, said the show will be a huge boost to the hard-hit community.

“It’s given us something to look forward to — something big for a small-town like we’re in, that’s pretty cool,” he said.

lot in life until he escaped his

mortal bounds and ran for cover into the woods.

Being a Redbone Hound, he was pretty comfortable amongst the trees. He was found in Meredith, technically, but may have wandered from Sanbornton or even further afield.

Currently calling New Hampshire Humane Society home, McGruff has blossomed under the constant care and attention of staff and volunteers beginning with a massive ‘operation tick removal’ session.

That gentle face, big mushy body, long flapping ears and baritone voice letting you know he is ready to be your constant companion, should appeal to anyone who likes large dogs. McGruffis the poster-canine illustrating the expression that ‘trucks were invented for dogs to hang their heads out the window from”. Picture him travelling with his regal head sniffing the wind and soft ears flapping, just enjoying life from the passenger seat.

Please consider McGruff, he truly is man’s best friend!

Man travels 25,000 miles – from Berlin to Antarctica – without spending a penny NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Wigge left Berlin without a penny and traveled 25,000 miles to Antarctica, hitchhiking, bartering and working his way by ship, plane, car and foot, from Europe to Canada and the U.S. and then through Latin America.

A series about his project, “How to Travel the World for Free,” is airing on some PBS channels throughout May and June, using video Wigge shot of his adventures. Here are some details on how he did the project and how it went.

THE TRIP: Wigge, a travel journalist and videographer who speaks German, English and Spanish, left Berlin in June 2010 and traveled for 150 days through 11 countries, arriving in Antarctica in November 2010. More than 100 people helped, providing transportation, food and places to sleep. He planned the journey for a year before starting out, collecting contacts for those who might provide accommodations or odd jobs, but he also relied on the kindness of strangers.

FOOD: At first, Wigge scrounged for food from garbage bins behind supermarkets, but he soon realized that “Dumpster diving wasn’t necessary. I could walk in and do a barter. I offered to clean the floor or the shelf or wash the dishes in the restaurant in exchange for an old sandwich.

And most of the people I approached in shops, supermarkets and restaurants gave me something.”

ACCOMMODATIONS AND ATTITUDES: In Latin America, he found that “people were very helpful if I went to their door and said, ‘I have no idea where I will sleep tonight, can I sleep here?’ There was this helpfulness, this hospitality, maybe because many people there are poor and they know how it feels. They didn’t care about my story.

But in the U.S., it was more about the story.

They would say, ‘This is cool, we want to help you reach your goal.’

Americans really go for this.”

WORK: He crossed the Atlantic working on a container ship from Belgium to Canada in exchange for his passage, doing everything from paint jobs to changing the oil in the engine room. In Las Vegas, he engaged in pillow fights for $1 on the street and offered his back as a “human sofa” for tired visitors.

In San Francisco, he collected tips for “pushing heavy tourists up

the hills.” Eventually he had 300 $1 bills, which he used to buy plane fare to Costa Rica. From there he hitchhiked to Panama, where he worked as a butler for the German ambassador.

To cross from Ushuaia, Argentina, to Antarctica, he worked on a luxury cruise ship as an assistant to the expedition leader. “You clean the boots of the tourists, you help them on the ice, you put red flags around the penguin field, you help refill the boats with gasoline,” he said.

WORST JOB: Wigge’s stint as a porter carrying tourists’ luggage in exchange for a trip to Machu Picchu, the ancient Inca city in the Peruvian Andes, ended “in a bit of a mess. I was the worst porter the

Andes had ever seen,” he said.

The other workers were accustomed to handling tents and meals for tourists along the 50-mile, five-day route, then running ahead carrying 60 pounds of luggage on their backs in time to set up the next campsite before the tourists arrived, all at 14,000-feet elevations. But Wigge did not have the stamina to keep up.

“They said, ‘This is not funny, you cannot do this, we do not want to lose our clients,’” he recalled. “I apologized.” After two days, they put his luggage on horses and allowed him to walk at a regular pace rather than staying behind and running ahead to help with campsites.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: For the past five years, I’ve been with the most wonderful woman. “Jane” and I plan to marry, but we haven’t set a date because she has two adult daughters who still live at home, and their future plans are unsettled.

Her younger daughter, “Trudi,” is 24 and recovering from a debilitating gambling problem. Trudi lost her job, got caught stealing family heirlooms and was arrested for drunk driving. Jane eventually kicked her out. Trudi bounced from place to place, landed at a homeless shelter, met an irresponsible young man and got pregnant. At that point, Jane made the difficult decision to bring Trudi back home so she could help raise her grandchild.

Things actually worked out. Trudi is sober and no longer gambling, and she has become a trusted member of the household again. (The father of the baby is not in the picture.) Trudi hasn’t had much opportunity to look for a job. Jane works all day and then goes home to take care of her granddaughter.

The other daughter is busy with work, school and a serious boyfriend. She does not take much interest in her niece.

In the past 18 months, intimate relations with Jane have steadily declined. Menopause is a factor, but it’s mostly because she has a lot on her plate. She hasn’t been to my house in months, and when I’m at hers, I try to care for the baby so Jane can sit down and rest. I feel like our relationship is slipping away. We’ve talked briefly about it, but I simply want more than Jane can give. Is this just a rough patch, or is this our new relationship? -- Too Much Dear Too Much: You sound like a good guy who is trying to help with a stressful situation. Raising a baby is exhausting, and we are certain that Jane appreciates your patience and assistance. Instead of pressuring her for intimacy, ask what she thinks you can do to improve your relationship. She will always have two daughters and a grandchild. Decide whether

you can handle that.

Dear Annie: For 30 years, my cousins and I were good friends. We went places together and had lunches. They seemed to enjoy the gatherings as much as I did.

About three years ago, they stopped calling to make a date, leaving it up to me. Not long after that, I discovered they were meeting with my nieces, but not including me. I didn’t understand the reason, but tried not to let it bother me. Now they are including the nieces’ husbands, and I’m still not part of the festivities.

I am deeply hurt and feel ostracized. Family has always been important to me, and I have strived to be a congenial person. Most people seem to enjoy my company. Do I pretend this is OK, or do I ignore their existence like they do with me?

-- Outcast Dear Outcast: We can see how this would be hurtful, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. They may simply be waiting for you to schedule the next dinner date and, in the meantime, are enjoying their nieces’ company. Pick up the phone, tell them it’s been bothering you and ask whether there is a problem that can be resolved.

Dear Annie: I think you missed an opportunity in your response to “Jim in Peoria,” who says his wife won’t let him help around the house.

Jim is involuntarily unemployed, and even though money is apparently not a problem, he needs to feel that he is valued.

You should have suggested that he find a nonprofit organization that needs volunteers. He might be able to get work that is related to whatever he did in his previous career, and this might even lead to a paying job down the line. In any case, it is a win-win-win: Jim wins, the nonprofit wins, and his wife wins by having a happier husband and fewer arguments. -Been There

Middle school nurse recognizes Leadership Lakes Region efforts LACONIA — Kerriann Reynolds, School Nurse at Laconia Middle School recently visited the Leadership Lakes Region class to express her thanks to specific class members.

Reynolds, in her capacity as school nurse, manages the Middle School’s “Care Closet”.

This is the place where donations of clothing, personal hygiene products and school supplies are accepted for issuance to deserving students who otherwise could not afford these items.

A few months ago, the Leadership Lakes Region class met at Laconia Middle School as part of the class’ Education Day orientation to educational issues in the Lakes Region. Among the numerous positive efforts at the school, Principal Jim McCollum mentioned the Care Closet of Nurse Reynolds.

Rosa Michaud, a member of this year’s Leadership class picked up on the reference and investigated further. She obtained a list of items needed by the Closet then approached

her employer, then Laconia Savings Bank, now Bank of New Hampshire, for support. Collection boxes were placed at branch offices where bank employees could make donations from the list of needed items.

A total of 14 boxes of items was collected and delivered to Laconia Middle School for the Care Closet. Michaud was aided in thisoutreach by her Leadership classmates, also bank employees, Dona Murray and Tony Chiefe.

Overwhelmed by the generosity, Nurse Reynolds arranged to thank the entire Leadership class in person but especially Michaud, Murray and Chiefe. Anyone interested in donating to the Laconia Middle School Care Closet is invited to contact School Nurse Kerri Reynolds at (603) 536-4627 or kreynolds@laconia.k12. nh.us.
