Board now aims to develop master plan for future of LHS

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The School Board said last night that it will begin developing a Master Plan for the future of Laconia High School.

TILTON — For third time in as many months voters will be asked to consider a warrant article to extend municipal water service from Route 132 to the end of Business Park Drive at a special town meeting on Friday, May 20 at the Winnisquam Region Middle School cafeteria at 76 Winter Street beginning at 6 p.m.

The aricle calls for raising and appropriating $650,000 to fund the project on see TILTOn page 12

LaCOnIa, n.H.

As part of his recapsulation of the Huot Technical Committee meeting for the full Board, Facilities Committee Chair Joe Cormier said now is the time to decide whether or not the high school will continue in its pres-

ent location in the long term.

“If we commit to this site we need a long range plan,” Cormier said.

Cormier’s recommendation comes as the School Board, administrators and the com-

munity await the final biannual state budget to learn if the proposed renovation and expansion of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center, on the LHS campus, will be included. see LHs page 12

LACONIA — As new homeowners with two young girls at home, Alicia and Josh DeLuca said hosting a Laconia Muskrat

player was the last thing on their mind a year ago. Then they read news articles in which Noah Crane, the team’s general manager, made a plea for volunteers to put a player up for the rapidly-approaching New England

Collegiate Baseball League’s season.

While most of last year’s host families asked to host again this year, Crane is currently seeking a few more homes to see MUsKRaTs page 14

Hall of Fame slugger Harmon Killebrew dies of cancer

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Harmon Killebrew earned every bit of his frightening nickname, hitting tape-measure home runs that awed even his fellow Hall of Famers.

Yet there was a softer side to “The Killer,” too.

The balding gentleman who enjoyed a milkshake after each game. The fisherman who was afraid of bumping into alligators. The MVP who always had time to help a rookie.

Killebrew, the bigswinging slugger for the Minnesota Twins and the face of the franchise for so many years, died Tuesday at age 74 after battling esophageal cancer.

“It’s a sad day. We lost an icon. We lost Paul Bunyan,” former Twins star Kent Hrbek said.

The team said Killebrew died peacefully at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz., with his wife, Nita, and their family at his side. He announced his diagnosis just six months ago, and last week Killebrew said he was settling in for the final days of his life with hospice care after doctors deemed see KILEBREW page10

Repeal of tax break for oil companies fails Senate test vote WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate blocked a bill Tuesday that would repeal about $2 billion a year in tax breaks for the five biggest oil companies, a Democratic response to $4-a-gallon gasoline that might fare better when Congress and the White House negotiate a deal later this year to increase the government’s ability to borrow.

The bill was defeated on a procedural vote. But Democrats hope to build their case to include the measure in a deficitreduction package being negotiated by key lawmakers and the Obama administration. Lawmakers from both parties are demanding deficit reduction as part of deal to increase the government’s ability to borrow and avoid an unprecedented default on U.S. Treasury bonds.

“This bill says that even the most rich and powerful among us must do their

fair share to help us reduce the deficit,” said Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., the bill’s sponsor. “Their high-priced lobbyists cannot stop us from doing what is fair and what is right.”

Republicans and some Democrats opposed the tax increase, saying it would hurt domestic drilling while doing nothing to reduce gas prices. The vote was 52-48 in favor of the measure, short of the 60 votes needed to advance it. Three Democrats — Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Mark Begich of Alaska — joined with nearly all Republicans in opposing the measure. Two Republicans, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, voted for it.

White House spokesman Jay Carney blamed Senate Republican leaders, saying they were more interested in protecting tax breaks for profitable oil companies

than finding more responsible ways to spend that money. Nonetheless, he said the vote was an important step toward repealing “these unwarranted subsidies” and said the administration would continue to pursue the matter.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce called the tax increases “misguided, unwarranted and ultimately counterproductive.”

The measure would have affected Shell Oil Co., ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, BP America and Chevron Corp.

“This is not an energy strategy, this is a public relations strategy, this is a ‘how do I get re-elected’ strategy,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “It does not solve the problem or the pain that Americans are feeling at the pump.”

Some GOP lawmakers argued that the bill would increase gas prices further. see SENATE page 10

NEW YORK (AP) — IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was placed under a suicide watch in jail, while pressure mounted on him to resign Tuesday and the hotel maid who accused him of attempted rape said through her lawyer that she had no idea who he was when she reported him to the police.

Law enforcement officials emphasized that Strauss-Kahn had not tried to harm himself but that guards were keeping a close watch on him just in case.

Meanwhile, details began to emerge about his accuser, a 32-year-old immigrant from the West African nation of Guinea with a 15-year-old daughter.

“There is no way in which there is any aspect of this event which could be con-

strued consensual in any manner. This is nothing other than a physical, sexual assault by this man on this young woman,” her attorney, Jeffrey Shapiro, told The Associated Press. He added: “She did not know who this man was until a day or two after this took place.”

Strauss-Kahn, the 62-year-old managing director of the International Monetary Fund, was arrested Saturday and is being held without bail at the city’s Rikers Island jail, kept apart from his fellow prisoners in a unit that normally houses inmates with contagious diseases.

Police and prosecutors said he ambushed a housekeeper who had come to clean his $3,000-per-night at a New York hotel. Lawyers for the influential banker have chal-

lenged that account, saying the evidence doesn’t support accusations of forcible sex.

They wouldn’t elaborate, but the assertion gave rise to speculation that they might argue it was consensual sex. At the same time, some of Strauss-Kahn’s supporters in France, where he was considered a possible challenger next year to President Nicolas Sarkozy, have suggested he may be the victim of a setup.

The woman’s lawyer, Shapiro, said there was no truth to suggestions that she had fabricated her account, describing her as an honest woman with “no agenda.”

“Her life has now been turned upside down. She can’t go home. She can’t go back to work. She has no idea what her future see JAIL page 10

Gilford man pleads guilty to 1 charge in church-related rape case; trial still on

CONCORD (AP) — A man pleaded guilty Tuesday to sexual assault in the rape of a 15-year-old fellow church member who got pregnant and was later shipped out of state by church leaders to have her baby.

Ernest Willis of Gilford admitted that he raped and impregnated his children’s baby sitter, Tina Anderson, in 1997. He maintains that the sex was consensual but acknowledges that the girl was under the legal age of consent.

The Associated Press typically doesn’t identify those who say they are victims of sexual assault, but Anderson said she wanted her name used. She’s now 29 and lives in Arizona.

Willis’ trial on three counts of forcible rape and an additional felonious sex assault charge is scheduled to begin May 23. He faces 3½ to 7 years in prison on Tuesday’s guilty plea.

Superior Court Judge Larry Smukler said he would pronounce Willis guilty on the charge of felonious

sexual assault once the jury returns its verdicts on the other charges. But he said that even if the trial ends in a mistrial, Willis’ guilty plea would stand.

Smukler ruled Tuesday that prosecutors cannot introduce evidence that Willis offered to punch the teen in the stomach to trigger a miscarriage. The judge said that, particularly in light of Willis’ admission that he had sex with Anderson, her testimony about Willis’ offer to punch her was irrelevant and inflammatory.

Prosecutor Wayne Coull objected to the judge’s ruling, saying of Willis: “He offered to use violence on this child ... to conceal the crime.”

Smukler also ruled that Anderson couldn’t use the term “cult” in describing her experiences with Concord’s Trinity Baptist Church, which she and Willis both attended when she was 15, or her involvement with the fundamentalist Baptist religion in general.

Anderson, who is expected to testify on the first day of the trial, said her mother took her to former Trin-

ity Baptist Church pastor Chuck Phelps for counseling when she learned she was pregnant. She said Phelps arranged to relocate her to live with a Baptist family in Colorado and put her baby up for adoption.

Police said they tried to investigate the rape allegations in 1997 but couldn’t find Anderson.

Phelps, she said, made her stand before the Trinity Baptist congregation and apologize for getting pregnant out of wedlock.

Smukler has yet to rule on whether Phelps must testify about admissions Willis made to him about the alleged assaults. Willis’ lawyers claim that they are privileged. Coull argued that Phelps had a lawyer present during the conversations and that undermines any privilege between a member of the clergy and a congregant.

The penalty for aggravated felonious sexual assault is 10 to 20 years.

ALFRED, Maine (AP) — Maine State Police have enlisted the help of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service as they try to identify a young boy found dead on the side of a back road near the Maine-New Hampshire border, officials said Tuesday.

During a briefing in Alfred, State Police Lt. Brian McDonough said a witness who saw a dark blue truck near where the body was found Saturday in South Berwick noticed some type of naval insignia near the license plate. The witness believes the truck was being driven by a woman who was the

only occupant, McDonough said.

Police gave no indication they were any closer to identifying the child.

NCIS investigators are going to military installations and naval reserve centers in the region, McDonough said.

“It’s more intuition than anything. But we’re really starting to wonder if the individual whose was involved with the truck was a member of the military,” McDonough said.

Investigators theorize that if the boy belonged to

a transient, military family, he was less likely to be known to neighbors, which could explain why he has not been reported missing, McDonough said.

Investigators have fielded more than 200 tips since the boy’s body was found on Saturday and they’ve worked their way through half of them.

None of the tips had panned out as of late Tuesday afternoon. Police were also conducting DNA tests on the boy’s body in the event they may be helpful in tracking down family members. see BOY page 12

Greater Meredith program planning ‘Courtyard on Main’

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Beverly Lapham of the Greater Meredith Program unveiled plans to transform the narrow asphalt path running between 38 and 44 Main Street, which links Main Street to the Inn at Mill Falls, into “The Courtyard On Main” to the selectmen at a workshop yesterday.

Currently, Lapham said, there are a couple of benches, minimal lighting and some grass along the pathway, which runs beneath a tall wall. He said that the Greater Meredith program has entered into an agreement with the abutters to redevelop the space.

The plan calls for construction of a 210-foot walkway, lined with pavers, with two seating areas furnished with benches and two lampposts providing downcast lighting. A pair of anchorages will host outdoor sculptures. The surround will be grassed

and planted. The blank wall overlooking the courtyard will decorated in keeping with the character of the courtyard. At the end of the courtyard, multidirectional sign would point visitors to principal places downtown.

Lapham said that $39,000, consisted of cash and in-kind donations, has been budgeted for the project. Fundraising is expected to be complete by June when groundwork will begin with an eye to completing the project by September.

“The area deserves a major facelift, Lapham told the board.

Town Manager Phil Warren said that he would have the town’s legal counsel review the arrangements with the abutters to ensure that neither the town nor the Greater Meredith Program incurred any unwanted liabilities. In particular, he was concerned about maintenance of the courtyard, including plowing in winter.

Poster boy for the arrogance of the IMF & our global elite Saturday was a bad day for the New World Order.

New York police boarded the first-class cabin of an Air France jet bound for Paris to collar Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund, a Grand Master of the Universe and the Socialist Party’s hope to defeat President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2012.

Strauss-Kahn, or DSK as he is known, was hauled back to New York and identified in a police lineup by an African maid at the Sofitel hotel as the man who emerged stark naked from the bathroom of his $3,000-a-night suite and tried to rape her.

DSK’s political allies are howling entrapment. Yet his rap sheet is long. Called the Great Seducer, he was charged with the sexual harassment of a co-worker at the IMF and accused by a young French novelist of behaving like a “rutting chimpanzee” and trying to rape her when she contacted him about a book she was writing in 2002. The novelist, Tristan Banon, now 31, is a goddaughter to DSK’s second wife. She took a lawyer’s advice not to file charges then.

But, says the “Guardian”, Banon is about to file them now.

Monday, “The New York Times” wrote, “As the impact of Mr. StraussKahn’s predicament hit home, others, including some in the news media, began to reveal accounts, long suppressed or anonymous, of what they called Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s previously predatory behavior toward women and his aggressive sexual pursuit of them, from students and journalists to subordinates.”

What is this satyr doing running the IMF? How was a man of his Eurotrash reputation approved by the United States government?

Such conduct may be pooh-poohed over the pond, but has our country dropped that low?

As is not infrequently the case, Rep. Ron Paul nails it: “These are the kind of people running the IMF, and we want to turn the world’s finances and the control of the money supply (over) to them?”

Indeed, there are issues here far beyond the corruption of character that drives aging compulsive lechers to criminality when their prey resist. One of those issues is: Why is the IMF still being funded by the United States?

With the World Bank, the IMF was birthed at Bretton Woods, N.H., in 1944. In the monetary order established there, the U.S. dollar would be tied to gold, and the free world’s currencies would be tied to the dollar, all at fixed rates of exchange.

All would contribute funds in their own currency to the IMF. America would make the largest contribution.

As its birthday gift, Uncle Sam gave the IMF 103 million ounces of gold.

When member nations faced

balance-of-payments problems and had to devalue, the IMF would tide them over with bridge loans. The loans would be repaid as the troubled nations’ reduced exchange rate led to rising exports and reduced imports.

The system worked until 1971, when through a series of guns-andbutter budgets during Vietnam, the world acquired an immense pile of excess dollars. The British decided to cash in several billion for U.S. gold.

No way, said President Nixon.

He slammed the gold window shut, cut the dollar loose and let it float against the world’s currencies.

The Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates was dead. And the IMF, established to maintain it, should have died with it.

It did not, for as Ronald Reagan reminded us, the closest we come to eternal life on this earth is a government program. For 40 years, the IMF has soldiered on, backed by both parties, plying its new trade — endless transfers of U.S. and Western wealth to bail out failing non-Western and anti-Western nations.

Under DSK, the IMF took on a new role that enchanted Europe. It joined with the European Central Bank to provide hundreds of billions to bail out Greece, Ireland and Portugal, so these nations would not default on their debts and bring down the European banks that are stuffed full of Greek, Irish and Portuguese bonds.

Through the IMF, U.S. taxpayers are bailing out European nations to save European banks, just as U.S. taxpayers, through the Federal Reserve, secretly bailed out European banks throughout 2009 and 2010.

This is why the socialist StraussKahn was a hero in the capitals of Europe. He was their agent in our capital.

Consider the winners and losers of this globalist racket.

The people of Greece, Ireland and Portugal endure austerity and recession for years, while the European banks are assured 100 cents on the dollar for their bonds. And the deal-makers like DSK are put up at $3,000-a-night hotel rooms, fly first class and get tax-free salaries larger than those of the president of the United States, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer.

Saturday at the Sofitel, we saw up-close the sense of arrogance and entitlement such privilege induces in our global elite.

Time to shut down the IMF and get back what’s left of our gold.

LETTERS Shouldn’t waterway size & density play role in speed limits?

To the editor, An open letter to N.H. House members: As a landowner and licensed operator of boats in New Hampshire, I am in favor of SB-27 , a compromise that would allow an additional 10 mph speed limit on the Broads of Lake Winnipesaukee — an area of only 14-percent of the largest lake in the state . The compromise would raise the limit from 45 mph to 55 mph, conditions permitting, and leave the balance of the lake at 45 mph (30 mph at night) I would submit that the lake is safer now that a boating license is required to operate . The license is not just for boating up to 45 mph rather it requires operators to take classes and pass a test before they can operate a boat. The classes are not only on navigation but deal with safety when boating and safe passage rules for all boats.

As I look out over my bay in Moultonborough during the winter months, I see only three or four lights burning in year-round homes. There are hundreds of seasonal residents who pay taxes to support local cities and towns and who pay fees to register boats yet “Who speaks for them on SB-27 ? “ They are the silent majority of landowners who are boaters on the lake yet have no say in this matter.

They all have boats or they would not own lakefront property. They want

access and many, many of them have boats that could exceed the current speed limit of 45 mph. So on a bright summer day when they take their families out in their boats, why is it that they cannot enjoy a ride through the Broads at more than 45 mph ?

Why is it that they have paid their property taxes, their boat registration fees, have taken a safe boating course and are licensed, they must now be limited to only 45 mph?

The roads in New Hampshire have speed limits governed by the size of the road and the density around those roads. You can go 65 mph legally on some roads in N.H. but boating is restricted to 45 mph. Shouldn’t the size of the waterway and the density of the waterway play some part in the MPH in that area?

I believe that this compromise would benefit the economy around the lake, which has been suffering during the recent recession. Boating registrations are down, we are not attracting as many out of state visitors as our surrounding states and the sales of new boats is down to next to nothing. When will we realize that imposing more restrictions on a state that has one of the best safe boating records in the country is actually counterproductive?

Robert Verdonck Moultonborough

Why should I be punished because of a few reckless boaters?

To the editor, An open letter the N.H. Representatives: I am a registered N.H. voter since 1968. I have lived in the Lakes Region since I was one year old. My parents have owned a summer residence on Lake Winnipesaukee since the early 60s. I have had a boat on Lake Winnipesaukee since I was 14. I know this lake well. I do not need a map to go from one end of the lake to another. I have many friends on the lake, boaters as well as property owners. I am not a performance boater. My boat do not go that fast. I enjoy many water sports with my family.

The lake never had issues until the speed limit debate came up. I see no need for speed limits. It is one more

liberty that boaters have lost. The lake is becoming a no rafting zone and no wakes are springing up everywhere.

The Marine Patrol budget is cut. When will this end? It must end now.

I’m not happy with this compromise but if it passes, I will let it go. If it does not pass, I will fight for my rights to boat on the lake again and again. I will not let folks who move into this area tell me what I can and cannot do.

I was here first! I have a clean driving record. Why should I be punished because of a few reckless boaters.

Please support the bill. I am speaking on behalf of my family, neighbors and long time friends on the lake.

LETTERS City employees shouldn’t be in non-public session with council To the editor, An open letter to the Laconia Mayor and City Council: It was reported that “the mayor and councilors, accompanied by a handful of department heads and city employees” will interview the remaining candidates (city manager) on either; May 26 and May 27.” Sources have indicated this meeting will be conducted in nonpublic session.

The council would be ill advised to continue in its present course as they will be diluting the power of their individual votes, thereby depriving Laconians of their constitutionally mandated representation. This council is either ignorant of the Charter and the Right-to-Know Law or simply arrogant. Please allow me to explain.

First, the charter is clear “the COUNCIL SHALL APPOINT the City Manager”, NOT the city EMPLOYEES who are hired, fired and are compensated by the City Manager. (RSA 49-C: 17) Second, the Right-to-Know law may be silent as to who can join a public body in nonpublic session such as department heads, city employees or someone who does not even vote in Laconia. In any event, since nonpublic sessions for “deliberations” are no longer permitted, public bodies can go into nonpublic session only for the purposes specified in the Rightto-Know Law, only those persons ESSENTIAL to the discussion of the specific topic for the nonpublic session may be in attendance; the hiring of a public employee pursuant to RSA

91-A:3 II(b), the applicant, City Council, an attorney, and possibly a representative from MRI conducting the search. (NH Practice, Local Government Law Book 13, 676) Third, although the statute does not specifically exclude nonboard members from attending these sessions, it is unclear how such an individual could participate without offending the prohibition against the receipt of information. If that person were present purely as an observer, it would create a double standard with respect to the members of the public who were excluded and raise a serious question whether the nonpublic session was really necessary in the first place.

According to an opinion of the Aug 19, 1973 AG Memo. “… staff cannot participate in executive sessions. Although they may technically attend as observers, there is always the danger that in the excitement of the moment they will be tempted to participate. Justice Douglas observed that the “danger in this is self-evident, and the benefit in having a non-public audience of silent listening “advisers” seems infinitesimal”. (Douglas 16 N.H.B.J. at 238,239. The NH Bar Journal Vol. 20:3, 103) The only conclusion from this and previous actions by the city council is that this body does not represent the voters or taxpayers. Its actions best serve those paid BY the taxpayers. Transparency has been eroded by ignorance and poor advice.

How can we influence Obama to be a great president for USA? To the editor, I’m very happy that the years of hard work George Bush put in, to made it possible for our Navy Seals to finally get that evil “butcher” paid off. Of course, as usual Obama takes all the credit, and still blames Bush for all the problems Obama caused, but that’s to be expected from one who can’t tell the truth about his own source or education (if he ever had any, doubtful), or the many dubious places he lived, to be accepted as the prime member of the Chicago Gangstas.

Obama again showed that glimmer of intelligence and understanding which almost got me to vote for him, based more on the many wonderful and brilliant “black” friends I had (they then preferred the common term of Negro, and I accepted the term “white”, despite having skin color much closer to those good friends than “white”.) ALL of my Negro, Black or whatever friends are still infinitely more intelligent and HONEST than Obama!(whatever you call him). BUT, again Obama backtracked into ignorance, and covered over any good he had accidentally done.

Back in the fuzzy corners of my ever hopeful mind, lingers the hope that Obama can really be that great guy he fooled us into believing of three years ago. Okay, I accept that most of the

readers, like me, doubt if I really have a “mind”. Proof that I don’t are these many letters! Proof that I do are these many letters! At least one of you has the descriptive term on the tip of your tongue! So, ignore that, and try to find how we can influence Obama to be an excellent president for the USA. That may be a lot easier than finding an elect able person to replace him. Sorry, I’m not available for the job.

Okay, now for the impossible: Find someone who is HONEST and FAIR, INTELLIGENT, and NOT tainted with political baggage. Someone like HUCKABEE, but willing to run!

As I see it anyone who fits is far too bright to attempt the job! MAYBE WE NEED A NEW CRITERIA, based on HONESTY and AVAILABILITY. Or, one with both the brights and stamina to do the job. The abundance of potential candidates who are all much more capable than Obama, makes it seem, by lousy polls, like none has the poll standing to succeed! How totally misleading! Once nominated any one of them will easily beat Obama. But then, maybe we need a new system of three to serve as president. As good business knows, three working together are better than one!

As a veteran, I know we’re stronger when we work together.

It’s time for our leaders to put political agendas aside.

— Bill Wright

Laconia, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.)

We need to put middle class families ahead of political agendas.

Some leaders in the New Hampshire legislature are willing to put their own political agendas first and walk out on middle class families. Times are already tough for Granite Staters, and we can’t let the narrow political interests of a few Concord politicians make them any tougher.

We need to stand together to strengthen New Hampshire.

Instead of letting partisan political agendas stand in the way, our leaders need to be working together to create jobs and strengthen New Hampshire. We shouldn’t be interfering in private business matters between employers and employees or doing the bidding of out-of-state corporations.

We need our leaders to oppose HB 474 and

LETTERS Constitution is a document ‘limiting’ the power of Washington To the editor, The N.H. Constitution does provide the right of revolution to the people of the state; it is article five, as ironic, amusing, sad, and scary as that may be. The Federal Government was created by consent of the states and its charter is the U.S. Constitution, which the states reserved the right to amend.

Additionally three quarters of the states may convene and if they choose, abolish the current Constitution altogether and write a new one or none.

This necessarily isn’t revolution against the “government” as the governments of the states who established the Federal Government would be just revisiting what they originated.

There are those who fail to realize that the U.S. Constitution is a document “limiting” the powers of the Federal Government, not one giving or “reserving” certain rights to the states and/or the people. The Bill of Rights is the 10 amendments limiting the powers of the Federal Government, Articles 9 and 10 are part of the Bill of Rights.

The Supremacy Clause only applies if the federal government is acting in pursuit of its constitutionally autho-

rized powers, not to be applied as Jefferson wrote to expand the Federal Government to be all powerful.

“Congress are authorized to defend the nation. Ships are necessary for defence; copper is necessary for ships; mines necessary for copper; a company necessary to work mines; and who can doubt this reasoning who has ever played at ‘This is the House that Jack built?’ Under such a process of filiation of necessities the sweeping clause makes clean work.” — Thomas Jefferson to Edward Livingston, 1800.

ME 10:165 It should be noted that in the checks and balances of our representative form of government it is the people to whom the government is subordinate, not the people to the government.

The revolutionary and civil wars were fought to end slavery imposed directly or indirectly; such is the federal government’s requiring the purchases of insurance, it has no such power; the individual states may have. An amendment to the constitution may establish such a power and is the means of constitutionally acquiring such.

Police wasting time enforcing this ridiculous no parking zone To the editor, We would like to extend a warning to our loyal patrons of Belmont Hardware LLC. The town of Belmont will again be targeting and ticketing customers of Belmont Hardware for parking along side our building onto Gale Street. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause anyone shopping at our store.

It is becoming more obvious the Town of Belmont’s intent is to drive the remaining businesses in the downtown out — in their efforts for their revitalization project which can

be viewed on their website.

After 36 years in business, it is sad to see the towns elected officials have taken such a stance to target a local business with the intent of angering customers with frivolous tickets so they won’t patronize our store.

It’s unfortunate for the police officers that have better things to do are now going to waste their time enforcing a ridiculous “no parking zone” that has never been enforced except for the customers at Belmont Hardware.

Shame on you Belmont officials!

You don’t spend extra money now when hard times are ahead To the editor, The latest headlines read “Gilford School district prepares for shortfall” and here is their logic to prepare for this crisis.

You’re a hard working family and you just found out that your significant other is about to lose a lot of work hours in the next few months.

You know that your household income is about to be reduced significantly. Do you run right out and buy that new “tractor” and “EZ turn lawn mower”

you’ve always wanted? Why not, might as well spend money on those “necessities” before the revenue shortfall occurs!

No, I didn’t think any responsible person would take that approach.

Unfortunately, you and I live in the real world. Wouldn’t it be nice to live in whatever world the Gilford School District leadership lives in? In that world, you get to spend someone else’s money!

Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive as great success To the editor, I want to thank the Laconia and Gilford residents, businesses, and postal employees who pitched-in to make the May 14, 2011, National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive an overwhelming success.

It is extremely gratifying to see the community and the Laconia Postal Team work together to re-stock the local food pantry shelves and provide assistance to some of our neighbors that may need a helping hand.

Hunger Food Drive certainly speak volumes about the community’s generosity and the caring attitude of our employees who worked hard to collect those food donations. As Postmaster, I see the food drive as a reflection of the tradition and spirit of community service that postal employees demonstrate every day.

Congratulations to the community and the Laconia Postal Team for their efforts on May 14, to help Stamp Out Hunger.

JAIL from page 2 will be, what she will be able to do to support herself and her daughter. This has been nothing short of a cataclysmic event in her life,” Shapiro said. He said she “feels alone in the world.”

The woman, he said, came to the U.S. seven years ago under “very difficult circumstances” and is raising her daughter by herself now that the girl’s father is dead. The family was granted asylum in the U.S., and she is a legal resident. She has worked at the hotel for three years, according to Shapiro.

The Associated Press does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault without their consent.

Strauss-Kahn’s arrest continued to produce calls for his resignation from the IMF, which provides emergency loans to stabilize countries in economic distress and is now grappling with the debt crisis in Europe.

Austria’s finance minister, Maria Fekter, said: “Considering the situation, that bail was denied, he has to figure out for himself that he is hurting the institution.”

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, in the first remarks on the case from a top Obama administration official, said Strauss-Kahn “is obviously not in a position to run” the IMF. Geithner said the fund’s 24-member executive board should formally designate an interim head.

John Lipsky has been serving as acting managing director.

Meanwhile, Strauss-Kahn’s past conduct with other women is getting new scrutiny.

The banker was investigated internally by the IMF following a 2008 affair with an employee, the Hungarian-born economist Piroska Nagy. The insti-

tution eventually absolved him of wrongdoing, but on Tuesday a person close to Nagy said she had sent the organization a letter at the time warning about his behavior toward women.

The letter voiced “doubts about Dominique StraussKahn’s suitability for running an international institution,” according to the person, who declined to be identified, citing the sensitivity of the matter.

The New York Times published an excerpt of the letter, along with an account that said Strauss-Kahn had aggressively pursued Nagy, sent her sexually explicit messages and once had her summoned from the bathroom to speak to him.

Strauss-Kahn himself appeared to realize that his relationships with women could be a political problem. The French daily newspaper Liberation reported this week that at a meeting with StraussKahn in April, he speculated that his presidential campaign might be subjected to low blows over “money, women and my Jewishness.”

“Yes, I love women ... so what?” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

Strauss-Kahn also theorized that his enemies might try to pay someone to accuse him of rape, according to the newspaper.

Strauss-Kahn’s American lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said Monday that he believes that once all of the physical evidence is in, his client will be exonerated.

All prisoners arriving at Rikers Island are given a mental health assessment to determine whether they pose a suicide risk. Norman Seabrook, president of the correction officers union, said StraussKahn did or said something during that evaluation that made doctors concerned, and he is being monitored day and night.

KILLEBREW from page 2 the “awful disease” incurable.

At Target Field, the scoreboard showed a picture of a smiling Killebrew and his retired No. 3 was etched in the dirt behind second base. Plus, there was a more personal tribute — the Twins’ ground crew slowly lifted home plate and put under it a plastic-encased, black-and-white photo of Killebrew.

The picture, believed to be from the 1960s, will stay beneath the plate the rest of the season. It shows, naturally, the compact Killebrew poised to go deep.

And boy, could he take a big cut.

His 573 home runs still rank 11th on the all-time list. His uppercut swing formed the silhouette that inspired Major League Baseball’s official logo.

Along with a statue in his likeness outside Target Field, there’s a giant bronze glove where fans pose for snapshots — the glove is 520 feet from home plate, fittingly the distance of Killebrew’s longest home run.

Whether as an 18-year-old with the Washington Senators in 1954 or playing for Kansas City in his final season in 1975, Killebrew carried himself the same unassuming way.

SENTATE from page 2 However, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service concluded that eliminating the tax breaks would be unlikely to result in higher gasoline prices, which are influenced by a host of factors. The report said the bill would raise about $1.2 billion in 2012.

By comparison, the five oil companies had combined revenues of $1.5 trillion last year.

A GOP measure designed to increase offshore drilling is scheduled for a Senate vote on Wednesday, though it is not expected to pass, either. The Republican bill would force the Interior secretary to conduct offshore lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico, Virginia and Alaska that were delayed by the Obama administration after the Gulf oil spill.

A plan to reorganize the state judicial system that takes effect on July 1 will reduce the 10 New Hampshire county registers of deeds from full-time state employees with management responsibilities to elected officials paid a stipend of just $100 a year.

Pending reorganization of N.H. judiciary will have huge effect on lives & careers of employees

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — As a revamped state judiciary system moves closer to implementation, the Laconia District Court will loose some familiar faces, see familiar faces performing new duties and add a few new faces doing familiar duties.

Elected Register of Probate Karen Brickner of Barnstead will retire as a full-time state employee but will continue in her elected capacity as register.

Her managerial responsibilities will largely go away on July 1.

Brickner said the primary duties of the elected register of deeds is the “keeper of the probate” meaning the person in the position is responsible for “the preservation of closed files having the potential for historical preservation.

She will earn $100 annually and will continue in her elected capacity until the end of her twoyear term. That’s a far cry from the $92,000 a year (average) the state has been paying the 10 elected

probate registers in salary and benefits. Brickner will remain in the state judiciary as a part-time employee of the newly created Circuit Court.

Brickner said she anticipates most of her time will be spent in Laconia, which is now N.H. Circuit Court IV — Belknap Division.

“I really am on the circuit,” she said noting as a part-time employee she could be assigned to any court in any district and that she will do some traveling to fill in for vacations and vacancies.

She said her current deputy clerk is Linda Clark and she will stay in her permanent position in the Circuit Court IV — Belknap Division.

“As of July 1 her title goes away and she becomes a Court Assistant 3,” Brickner said.

Leaving Laconia is the current Clerk of Courts Diane Lane who will take over as the the clerk of N.H. Circuit Court IV — Concord Division.

“I’m leaving with mixed feelings,” said Lane yesterday.

TILTON from page one the assurance that Nickerson, LLC, the owner of the business park, will reimburse the town $325,000, half the total cost.

Originally laying the water line was part of the warrant article to convert 61 Business Park Drive into a police station, which voters rejected in March and again in April.

In April, after voters scuttled the police station for the second time, they turned to the separate article for the water line. Water service would, it is argued, increase the value and improve the marketability of the 15 lots in the park, including 61 Business Park Drive and another lot owned by the town, which in turn would add to the municipal tax base and foster economic development.

By then nearly three-quarters of the voters had left the meeting. After some debate, a motion to amend the article to require Nickerson to advance his share of the cost of the water line carried by a simple majority of 61 to 52.

Then a motion was made to indefinitely postpone further consideration of the proposal, which required a twothirds majority. The vote of 71 to 37 fell one vote short.

When the vote was taken on the amended article, it also failed to garner a two-thirds majority by a single vote.

Selectman Pat Consentino moved to reconsider the vote, which. also required a two thirds majority. With only 34 voters left, Consentino’s motion carried, 23 to 11. Consequently, the third town meeting will be held this week.

LHS from page one The money, 75-percent of which would come as part of the state capital budget appropriation and 25-percent of which has already been authorized by the Laconia City Council, equals $9.5-million.

Originally budgeted at $10-million, the figure was slightly reduced during the House of Representatives’ portion of the state budget deliberations.

When asked how the district determined the $10-million number, Champlin said it was based on expectations of what could be expected from the state budget and what the city would be willing to spend.

Typically, all our other projects are preplanned. This is different,” he said.

Last week the Huot Technical Committee learned the $9.5-million budget would not begin the cover the cost of either of the two primary plans that were on the table at that point. It was decided to ask architects from Lavallee Bresninger and engineers from Rist-Frost Shumway to see just how many components of the $12-million plan to add on-campus space could fit under the funding cap.

Champlin also confirmed the Huot Center was the last project in New Hampshire determined to be eligible for regular N.H school building aid that and expects about $1-million of the city’s contribution to be offset in future years.

If funded, a new Huot Center addition would add between 10,000 and 40,000 square-feet onto the Dewey Street side of the the current building.

In the best case scenario, the proposal could free as much as 22,000 square feet of space on the second floor of the existing Huot Center for a possible expansion at the high school meaning the school would have to commit to staying on Union Avenue.

Cormier said a Master Plan would address issues such as the future of the football field, Bobotas Field, the existing power plant, and any upgrades or renovations to the existing high school buildings — one built in the 1920s and one build in the 1930s.

According to Cormier and LHS graduate and School Board member Beth Arsenault, this would be the third major renovation to property since the see next page

from preceding page Lane said the newly formed Circuit Court is a whole new way of doing business and the new system is designed to streamline the courts and cross-train employees.

“Once we get it running it will be a good thing,” she said.

The new law stems from the passage of House Bill 609 and according to an April 20 update from the N.H. Bar Association the number of management-level clerks or register positions including deputies will be reduced from a current 118 to 51 Circuit Court management positions.

Each circuit will have divisions for family, district and probate matters and employees will be cross-trained to eliminate duplicity. As it is now, the district, probate and family divisions are separate and employees are trained specifically for one division.

Each judge will be trained to hear cases in other divisions. Lane said Judge Jim Carroll will continue to preside over N.H Circuit Court IV — Belknap Division and Judge Linda Sadler and Judge Tina O’Neil will continue in the same circuit.

Lane said eventually one central call center, which will be located in Con-

and and resolve phone inquiries. She also said there is a long-range plan for electronic filing -— something now required at the federal level.

Plymouth District Court Clerk Michelle Brown will take over as the Circuit Court IV — Belknap Division Clerk and current Belknap County Family Court Clerk Wanda Loanes will be her deputy.

The upside is a leaner judiciary that was designed by lawmakers to cost taxpayers less money.

The downside, at least initially, will be some confusion as the new system takes effect and, until all of the employees become familiar with the inner workings of the other divisions, it could take a little longer to perform some tasks.

For example, until recently, Brickner said she had three full-time employees exclusively doing probate work. Until the cross-training kicks in, the probate work will be preformed initially by 1 and 1/2 employees.

“All change is rocky,” Brickner said, adding in the long term she is optimistic about the new look of the the N.H. Circuit Court system.

“It’s process, the start of a major transformation,” Lane said. “But we will

Change of plans at ACS; Leggett will serve as interim principal ALTON — The School Board has accepted the Superintendent Kathleen Holt’s nomination of current staff member Sydney D. Leggett as interim principal at the Central School for the 2011-12 school year. Two weeks ago the board announced that it had retained longtime Gilford Elementary School Principal Mike Tocci to serve another stint as interim principal but Holt said Tocci had to withdraw from the job for personal reasons.

In April, the board approved a contract with Granite State Transitional Principals, LLC for interim principal services, deciding it did not have enough time to find a permanent new principal for the coming school year, and that firm selected Tocci.

Current principal Bonnie Jean Duras resigned on March 24. She has been at the school four years.

Leggett has been the director of instruction at Alton Central School since 2009. Among her present responsibilities, she supervises the Title 1 program; oversees curriculum, instruction, and assessment; works with teachers to ensure that an appropriate classroom environment is provided for all programs from preceding page second high school building was built in 1934.

Arsenault, who chaired the Facilities Committee during the last session, said there were major renovations in 1976 and 1984 and again when the existing Huot Center was built.

She said she would classify any other work done to the older two buildings as maintenance and not renovations.

“I think one of the factors will be the heating plant,” said Champlin, quipping the existing one came over on the Nina and the Pinta.

He said part of the Master Plan would be aggressively pursuing a energy or “green” grants for work on the heating and power plant. He cited the recent wood chip plant at the Winnisquam Regional High School as an example of the kind of grant money that could be available.

Cormier said he sees parking as one of the major obstacles at the Union Avenue site and said the board has to look for additional space.

and grade levels; supervises and evaluates assigned staff; collaborates with the principal and assistant principal in student discipline/behavior management; develops the school schedule; and coordinates the professional development program.

After graduating from Oberlin College, Leggett taught English at Gilford High School for two years.

She has a total of 10 years of classroom experience, including four years in a high needs school in the Prince George’s County School District in Maryland where she also served as English Department Chair for two years. She became a teacher at Belmont High School in Shaker Regional School District in 2006.

Leggett received her Master’s Degree from St. Michael’s College in Colchester, VT in July of 1999 and will receive her Education Specialist degree from the University of New Hampshire in December 2011. In June of 2010, she received the Aspiring Administrators Award from the New Hampshire School Administrators Association. She will begin her duties on July 1.

Champlin also said any Master Plan should be all encompassing and set a goal of getting the maximum best use of the entire 19-acre site and not just the 12-acres now in use.

In other business, the board voted to follow last week’s recommendations of the Budget and Personnel Committee and eliminate 19 positions to meet next year’s budget. Contract renewals will go to teacher tomorrow and each has 10 business days to return his or her contract.

MUSKRATS from page one welcome a player. Team members are scheduled to arrive in Laconia on the weekend of June 4 and 5 and will need a place to stay through the first week of August. The Muskrats home opener this year is June 10.

“We had such a good time with it we decided we couldn’t not do it again,” Alicia DeLuca said. The DeLucas were paired with a player from Connecticut whom Alicia described as “responsible” and with whom the family has remained in touch since the season ended.

The family’s season tickets, a benefit of hosting, were utilized to the maximum. The DeLucas’ sixand four-year-old daughters looked forward to every

home game and what Alicia described as a “familyoriented, upbeat” atmosphere at Robbie Mills Park.

“It’s affordable, cheap family fun,” she said.

Doris Duff, 88, also hadn’t considered hosting prior to Crane’s public plea last year, even though she had a spare bedroom and lived five minutes from the field. “I live alone and my younger sister yelled at me and told me to do my civic duty and take a Muskrat.”

“I’m an old lady, so I called and said I’d take one,” Duff said, recalling how the article said the players would be 18 to 20 years old. “I figured I could tell them what to do. What did they do? They sent me the 27 year-old coach,” she laughed.

“It worked out very well,” Duff said. The coach,

Matt Williams, from South Carolina, was “very easy” to host, she said. Duff, like the DeLucas, enjoyed the ability to take in all the Muskrats’ home games. “I met some wonderful people. The people there are very friendly. I was happy to sign up again. It was easy, it was exciting, it made for a fun summer.”

Crane said host families should be within a reasonable distance to the ball field and should be able to provide a player with a private bedroom, access to a bathroom and laundry facilities and some meals, primarily breakfast. As of Monday, he was looking for homes for seven more players.

In return for their hospitality, hosts receive season tickets for the entire family and are invited to special events such as the annual host family dinner. They are also recognized in the Muskrats program and media guide.

According to Crane, host families are “the most crucial aspect of what we do.” Having a corps of host families assures him and the players’ parents that the Muskrats are cared for while they play ball for Laconia. From the player’s perspective, he said, host families “give our guys a true sense of what this community is all about.”

For more information about hosting a Muskrat, visit www.laconiamuskrats.com, email Crane at noah@laconiamuskrats.com or call him at (864) 380-2873.

BOY from page 3 Also Tuesday, police released a detailed photo of the boy’s “Lightning McQueen” sneakers in the hopes they might jog someone’s memory and announced they’d notified Interpol to ensure Canadian law enforcement agencies were in the loop.

The boy is believed to be between 4 and 6 years old. Police have labeled his death suspicious, but the cause has not been released.

The lack of a missing persons report on the boy is extremely unusual, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Such cases happen only about once a year across the country, said the center’s Ernie Allen.

The tips have been pouring in since police released a computergenerated image of the boy on Sunday, a day after his body was discovered by a local resident.

Investigators believe the boy was placed alongside a dirt road nine to 10 hours before the body was discovered around 5 p.m. Saturday.

Bruins even series with Lightning with 6-5 win BOSTON (AP) — Tyler Seguin had two goals and two assists and the Boston Bruins fed off the energy of the recently promoted rookie to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-5 and tie the Eastern Conference finals at one game each on Tuesday night.

Boston earned a split at home and snapped the Lightning’s eight-game winning streak that began when they were down 3-1 to Pittsburgh in the first round. Game 3 is at Tampa Bay on Thursday.

The Bruins have won nine of 11.

The shifty, 19-year-old Seguin, the second pick in last year’s NHL draft, was benched for the first 11 playoff games because of perceived defensive shortcomings. He rejoined the lineup for the series opener, getting a goal and an assist, when Patrice Bergeron sat out because of a mild concussion.

On Tuesday, with Bergeron still sidelined, Seguin tied it at 2 just 48 seconds into the second period then made it 4-2 at 6:30. Vincent Lecavalier cut the Lightning’s deficit to 4-3 with a power-play goal at 7:48, but Seguin set up two goals by Michael Ryder that put Boston on top 6-3 entering the third.

Steven Stamkos and Dominic Moore scored in the final period for the Lightning.

Adam Hall gave the Lightning a 1-0 lead 13 seconds after the opening faceoff, the quickest goal in the team’s playoff history. In their opening 5-2 win, the Lightning set club postseason records with two goals in 19 seconds and three in 1:25, all in the first period.

Nathan Horton tied Game 2 with a power-play goal at 13:58, but the Lightning took a 2-1 lead when Martin St. Louis scored with 7 seconds left in the first period.

The Bruins came out aggressively in the second period and scored five goals.

Seguin started the barrage when he took a pass from Ryder at his blue line and used exceptional speed to race between Tampa Bay defensemen Randy Jones and Victor Hedman. Seguin went in alone on Dwayne Roloson, cut from right to left, and lifted a backhander over the sprawling goalie.

David Krejci put the Bruins ahead for good at 2:24 with the only Bruins’ goal of the second period that didn’t involve Seguin.

New Hampshire jobless rate drops to 4.9% CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s April unemployment rate of 4.9 percent is at its lowest level since the Fall of 2008.

That compares to a national rate of 9 percent.

“This is tremendous news for our workers, our businesses and our state. The unemployment rate continues to drop steadily here in New Hampshire as we continue to lead the nation in economic recovery,” said Gov. John Lynch.

The federal government reports that New Hampshire’s jobless rate in March was 5.2 percent, the fourth lowest in the nation behind North Dakota,

from preceding page found wrapped in a blanket is now a memorial, with flowers, teddy bears and other items left as a remembrance to the boy. Local residents planned a candlelight vigil in the boy’s honor Tuesday night.

Nebraska and South Dakota. Vermont had the fifth lowest rate in March at 5.4 percent.

New Hampshire’s jobless rate climbed during the recession before peaking in the fall of 2009 at 6.7 percent. State labor statistics show the jobless rate and number of unemployed workers has steadily dropped since January 2010.

Lynch attributed the drop to New Hampshire being a business friendly state with low state taxes.

April’s jobless rates reflects a drop of 10,720 people from the unemployment rolls, dropping to 36,190 people still looking for work.

Village business owner charges Belmont selectively enforcing parking ban on narrow Gale Street

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — With only five businesses operating in the confines of the village, parking might seem the least of its problems, but not for Steve Woodbury of Belmont Hardware.

This week Woodbury posted a sign on the side of the store at 33 Main Street that reads “Warning: Town of Belmont Will Ticket You For Parking On Gale Street.” The warning was echoed by a letter to The Laconia Daily Sun, in which Woodbury told his patrons that the town “will again be targeting and ticketing customers of Belmont Hardware.” Woodbury charged that town officials are bent on “angering customers with frivolous tickets so they won’t patronize our store.”

Woodbury said that a year ago a dozen of his customers were ticketed before “no parking” signs were erected on either side of Gale Street, some 30 yards from its intersection from Main Street. He said that since the signs were small — about a foot square — and well away from the intersection, he put up his own sign to dispel any confusion on the part of his customers.

“Only cars parked near Main Street ever get ticketed,” Woodbury said, adding that trucks stopping at

the FairPoint depot on Gale Street, not far from the intersection, are “left alone.” He claimed “it’s selective enforcement.”

Woodbury said that he issued the warnings because people from across the state and around New England come to the store, which offers an unparalleled selection of parts for all brands and vintages of power equipment — chain saws, lawn mowers, roto-tillers, snow blowers and so on.

“We’re not targeting a business,” insisted Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti. “This is not a store owner issue. It’s a public policy issue. This is not directed against Mr. Woodbury.”

Baiocchetti said that although the “no parking” were only erected last year, Gale Street has always been closed to parking “as long as I can remember” because it is so narrow and has no shoulders. “You cannot park on Gale Street without blocking the travel lane of the roadway,” he explained. “We are responding to complaints from people who live on Gale Street. We have gotten lots of complaints.”

Strictly speaking, the chief said that parking on Gale Street violates a statute (RSA 265:68) that prescribes “upon any way outside of a business or residence district no person shall stop, park or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the paved or main-traveled part of the way when it is practicable to stop, park or so leave such vehicle off such part of said way.”

Baiocchetti said that the statute authorizes the police to issue a summons instead of write a ticket, but the department chooses to impose the lesser penalty and, said the chief, not very often. So far this year officers have written 22 parking tickets throughout the town, behind the pace set last year when 54 tickets were issued. A parking ticket carries a $50 fine.

‘Remembering Grace Metalious’ program led by Jeanne Gallant at Gilmanton Corner Meeting House May 20

BELMONT — “Remembering Grace Metalious” will be the topic of a program by Jeanne Gallant at the Corner Meeting House at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 20.

Presented by the Belmont Historical Society, the discussion will be led

by Gallant, a Gilmanton resident and long-time friend of Metalious, author of the controversial 1956 novel “Peyton Place.”

Born Marie Grace de Repentigny in Manchester in 1924, Metalious was well known in the Lakes Region.

It was thought by some that Peyton Place was a combination of the villages where the author lived as well a other nearby communities and that some of the characters in the novel were based on local residents. The book was considered to be scandalous and trashy and was banned in many

communities and local libraries. It has been said that “Peyton Place” changed the image of small towns in America forever.

Other books written by Metalious include “Return to Peyton Place” (1959), “The Tight White Collar” (1960) and “No Adam in Eden” (1963), none of which achieved the notoriety and sales volume of “Peyton Place.”

The discussion should be of interest to anyone who knew Grace Metalious or her works, as well as to anyone who wishes to learn more about the author and her life. Those in attendance who were friends or neighbors of the author will be encouraged to share their own experiences or insights into her life.

The presentation/discussion is free of charge and open to the public.

For more information, contact Suzanne Roberts at 528-1977.

Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow in Laconia through May 21 LACONIA — The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow searching for gold, silver, antiques, or other rare and unique collectibles, operating out of the Landmark Inn from 9 a.m. — 6 p.m. Tuesday — Friday and 9 a.m. — 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 21.

According to Vice President of Media Relations, Matthew Enright, “The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow makes offers based on what collectors are willing to pay. After one decides to sell an item, he or she is paid on the spot. Then, the Roadshow sends out the item to the collector.” Over 1,000 people are expected to attend the event.

A few recent finds for collectors have included a rare gold coin collection purchased for $107,000, a Civil War pistol used during battle for $40,000, and a letter written by George Washington to the doctor of his wife expressing disdain toward the doctor’s treatment. Also, at a recent show in Ohio, a local resident brought in a letter from Abraham Lincoln that she thought was a fake and walked out $25,000 richer after finding out it was authentic.

“Collectors are very serious about their hobby and will pay a lot of money

for the items they are looking for,” said Enright. “Nearly all coins and paper currency, vintage jewelry, war memorabilia, musical instruments, and toys made prior to 1965 are highly sought after by collectors.” Enright also added, “What we’ve really seen a ton of is gold and silver. With both hitting all time highs and the current economy, people everywhere are cashing in broken chains, necklaces and rings and taking advantage of the market.”

The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow is able to offer good prices as it has its own refinery. Refineries typically do not do business with the public; rather, they deal with precious metal accumulators like jewelry stores, pawn shops, dentist offices or industrial facilities that trade with some form of precious metal. All local area businesses that deal with precious metals are encouraged to call ahead and make an appointment with one of our representatives. There are no appointments needed for the general public to sell their items.

The event is free and there is no limit to the number of items that can be brought in. For additional information call (217) 726-7590.

MOULTONBOROUGH — The Annual Lakes Region Chapter of New Hampshire Audubon Birdathon/ Bloomathon will take place from dawn to dusk on Saturday, May 21.

The Birdathon has been a spring tradition in the area for over 25 years, and has raised thousands of dollars for wildlife. Participants are invited to identify as many birds and wildflowers as possible in return for pledges from loon lovers and Audubon members with proceeds going to support the Loon Center.

The Lakes Region Chapter of NH Audubon has a crack team of birders and bloomers — Tony Vazzano, Bob Ridgely, Ned Beecher, and Chris Clyne — who will be out and about in the Moultonborough, Sandwich, and Tamworth area to see and hear as many birds as possible at the height of the spring migration and the spring wildflower blossom.

In return, the chapter is seeking pledges of any amount per species, with 90 percent of the proceeds going to the Loon Center to aid their efforts to maintain the breeding population of Loons on New Hampshire’s lakes and ponds. The remaining ten percent

will be used to pay for the monthly free nature programs presented at the Loon Center.

The team usually totals around 170 — 180 species of birds and blooms in that one day, so a pledge of 25 cents per species would amount to a donation to the Loon Preservation Committee of approximately $40 — $45.

Donations of any amount are gladly accepted.

Call the Loon Center at 476-5666, chapter president Jane Rice at 4765108, or any other chapter officer, or visit the Loon Preservation Committee website at www.loon.org to add a pledge. Click on the “Contact Us” tab to see a “Support Birdathon-Bloomathon” button where a credit card or Paypal can be used to send a donation. The form can also be printed and a check sent to LPC at P.O. Box 604, Moultonborough, NH 03254.

For donors or any interested members of the public, there will be a bird walk at the Markus Sanctuary next to the Loon Center on Birdathon/ Bloomathon day at 7 a.m. led by chapter president Jane Rice. Any birds and blooms seen will be added to the total of sightings for the day.

GILFORD — “Write Now,” an informal writers’ group, will meet at the Public Library each Wednesday from 3 — 5 p.m. beginning May 25.

Facilitated by library patrons Bonnie Carnivale and Chris Roder-

ick, the group has been designed to help writers of all levels and interests stay focused on their work and receive thoughtful feedback.

All are welcome and invited to join.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis one who sees you as a tower of strength will open up and show a vulnerable side. You’ll be a comfort, and you’ll also provide practical help in ways that will surprise you both.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll have luck with joint ventures.

You trust the other person, but you both need to understand exactly what you’re agreeing upon. Put the details on paper.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’re not trying to be anyone else, and yet you’ll notice that you’ve picked up a few habits from those you admire.

Soon these behaviors will be so automatic that they’ll feel like a natural part of you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your imagination is vivid. The lines between what is real and unreal are blurred.

Also, you’ll give a great deal of thought to planes of existence beyond physical reality.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re trying to do a job well, though it’s not as easy as you once thought it would be. Stop trying to be good at it. Try to be bad at it instead. The freedom will liberate you from mental blocks.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 18).

You’ll enjoy improved health and vitality as you moderate your vices and add zesty habits to your routine. Your home will be a place of peace, tranquility and, after the renovations that happen in June, beauty. New meetings in July are life-changers. There’s a reason to travel in August. You’ll close a deal in September. Cancer and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 38, 28, 31 and 2.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll communicate well. You may not be able to avoid confrontation, but with your honest and direct approach, at least you can make it brief and relatively painless.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Juggle, march, draw or dance. These kinds of activities build right brain to left brain communication. There’s nothing you can’t do once you get both hemispheres working together.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll slip into a positive state this morning and stay there all day long. While in this happy mood, every problem has a solution, and you are a bubbling font of creativity.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The task at hand will be unusually challenging. It doesn’t all have to be accomplished in one day, though. Perhaps this is best approached with short blasts of intense focus followed by long breaks LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You might be feeling underwhelmed by the results you’ve been getting from yourself lately. You know that you are capable of greater things. Practice is key. Be diligent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). This will be a highly productive day. You’ll complete an entire unit of work. You’ll start out strong and finish even stronger. Get a cheerleader to motivate you through the middle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll do your best with many people around.

You need to bounce your ideas off of a variety of different characters. The response you get will lead to new and improved ideas.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, May 18, the 138th day of 2011. There are 227 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 18, 1911, composer-conductor Gustav Mahler died in Vienna, Austria, at age 50.

On this date: In 1765, about one-fourth of Montreal was destroyed by a fire.

In 1896, the Supreme Court, in Plessy v.

Ferguson, endorsed “separate but equal” racial segregation, a concept renounced 58 years later in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka.

In 1910, Halley’s Comet passed by earth, brushing it with its tail.

In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure creating the Tennessee Valley Authority.

In 1953, Jacqueline Cochran became the first woman to break the sound barrier as she piloted a Canadair F-86 Sabre jet over Rogers Dry Lake, Calif.

In 1969, astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Thomas P. Stafford and John W. Young blasted off aboard Apollo 10 on a mission to orbit the moon.

In 1980, the Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington state exploded, leaving 57 people dead or missing.

In 1981, the New York Native, a gay newspaper, carried a story concerning rumors of “an exotic new disease” among homosexuals; it was the first published report about what came to be known as AIDS. In 1991, Helen Sharman became the first Briton to rocket into space as she flew aboard a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft with two cosmonauts on an 8-day mission.

One year ago: Grilled by skeptical lawmakers, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar acknowledged his agency had been lax in overseeing offshore drilling activities, and that might have contributed to the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Bill Macy is 89.

Hall-of-Fame sportscaster Jack Whitaker is 87. Actor Robert Morse is 80. Actor and television executive Dwayne Hickman is 77.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: How can I help a friend who is convinced his neighbors are bombarding his house with rays that have affected his health and caused the death of one of his dogs?

“Edwin” is a retired engineer in his early 70s, divorced for 10 years. When my husband was ill, Edwin was the only coworker who bothered to visit. In the 15 years since my husband passed away, I’d lost track of Edwin until he showed up at my door six months ago, haggard and disheveled. He then told me of all the strange things that had been happening -- the rays that caused him to suffer abdominal pain and drove his dogs to whimper and hide under tables. He said the dogs refuse to drink the tap water, and when he showers, his skin burns and tingles.

In an effort to protect himself and his dogs, he has papered his walls with aluminum foil and put plastic and newspaper on the carpet so the dogs can relieve themselves indoors.

Edwin has called the police a number of times, asking them to check for rays emanating from neighboring homes, but of course, they labeled him a crank. The last time he called, he was put in handcuffs and taken to a mental health facility for two weeks. He said they gave him drugs that made him nauseated and confused.

Edwin’s stepson refuses to help, and his ex-wife lives in another state. If I were to tell Edwin that he’s suffering from severe paranoia, he’d think I joined the ranks of his tormentors. Please tell me how to help. -- Want To Make Things Right Dear Want: Start from a place of reality. Edwin has abdominal pains. Regardless of the cause, he should seek medical attention. Call the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami. org) at 1-800-950-NAMI (1-800-950-6264) and ask for a referral. Perhaps you could offer to go with him to see a doctor.

And it is possible there is some environmental contamina-

tion that is causing Edwin’s problems. Try the Environmental Protection Agency (epa.gov).

Dear Annie: I live in a semi-rural area where people tend to “drop off” unwanted pets. I hope you can find room in your column for my message.

To the person who left three small dogs on a hilly road near my home late last fall, here’s what happened: One of the dogs disappeared, probably prey for a coyote. The remaining two survived the winter without starving to death. We often saw them near the road where you left them, watching the cars and waiting for you to come back. When we tried to catch them, they ran off. This morning, I saw one of them dead on the road, hit by a car. He was probably still watching for you to return.

If you can no longer take care of your pet, please don’t believe he’ll be fine if you abandon him in the country. He will not be fine. Your pet is dependent upon you for his survival.

If you can’t keep him, please take him to an animal shelter.

-- Elaine in Kentucky Dear Elaine: Thank you for reminding our readers that domesticated animals do not fare well in the wild. Readers, please be kind to your pets. If you can no longer keep them, make sure they are placed where they will be cared for.

Dear Annie: I empathize with “Quiet and Scared,” who had to give a speech. Many years ago, I had much the same problem. Only in my case, I was singing solos.

Someone advised me to ignore everyone else and devote my full attention to one person at the back of the room and perform only for them. It worked. My voice projected out across the entire room. This was the best performance advice I ever received, and I have since passed it on to my children and grandchildren. -- Aging Grandma
