tion, the directors explained that last year they undertook a thorough review of the distribution process to ensure that the missions of the agencies being funded matched that of the auction. In the course of the review, the board found that over the years the work of the organizations aligned with the goals of the auction and fell into three general categories.
The first category, designated “A,” consists of organizations that address the fundamental and immediate needs of children for food, clothing, shelter and hygiene. “B,” the second category, includes organizations that provide services and programs to alleviate the conditions and circumstances that breed the need for basic assistance and sersee CHILdrEN’s auCtION page 12

2:30 a.m. break-in just off Hofstra campus leaves student & intruder dead UNIONDALE, N.Y. — A Hofstra University junior sharing an off-campus house with her twin sister and several other college students was shot and killed during an early morning break-in Friday that also left the armed intruder dead, police said. The shooting at a private house only steps from the Long Island campus cast a pall over the university community gearing up for commencement ceremonies this weekend. Hofstra’s president said in a statement that the ceremonies would go on as scheduled. It wasn’t clear who fired the fatal shots or how many rounds were fired, but authorities said police were involved in the shooting, which happened about 2:30 a.m. A weapon was found inside the
Nearly 50 injured as Conn. commuter trains collide
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Two commuter trains serving New York City collided in Connecticut during Friday’s evening rush hour, injuring about 50 people, authorities said. There were no reports of fatalities. The Metro-North Railroad, a commuter line serving the northern suburbs, referred in a news release to a “major derailment” near Fairfield, just outside Bridgeport. It said emergency workers were at the scene of the accident, which came shortly after 6 p.m. Bill Kaempffer, a spokesman for Bridgeport public safety, told The Associated Press approximately 49 people were injured, including four with serious injuries. About 250 people were on board the two trains, he said. Photos taken at the scene showed a train car askew on the rails, with its end smashed up and brushing against another train. Amtrak suspended service indefinitely between New York and Boston. “At this stage, we don’t know if this is a mechanical failure, an accident or something deliberate,” Fairfield police spokesman Lt. James Perez told the Connecticut Post. The railroad said a train that departed New York City’s Grand Central station en route to New Haven derailed. A westbound train on an adjacent track then struck the derailed train. Some cars on the second train also derailed as a result of the collision.

house, police said. Nassau County police and Hofstra University identified the slain student as Andrea Rebello, 21, of Tarrytown, N.Y. Her sister, Jessica, was also in the house at the time of the break-in but was not injured, police said. The gunman was not immediately identified. “It’s my daughter, my baby daughter,” a crying Fernando Rebello told The Journal News outside his home Friday afternoon. “She was so beautiful. I’m so confused. “I don’t know what to do,” he said, declining to discuss the incident further. The two sisters, another woman and another man were inside the two-story rental house when
the gunman, wearing a ski mask, forced his way in, according to Nassau County Inspector Kenneth Lack. The intruder allowed the third unidentified woman to leave, and she called 911. Police provided no other details on the man who was in the house at the time of the break-in, except to say he was not injured. A law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that the woman called 911 from near an ATM. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. “Today is the last day of finals and this should be a happy day on campus; but it’s not,” said Hofstra freshman Scott Aharoni of Great Neck, as he passed see HOFSTRA page 12
LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson’s former lawyer defended himself point-by-point Friday against allegations he botched the former football star’s armedrobbery trial, after giving damaging testimony that Simpson actually knew his buddies had guns when they went to a hotel room together to reclaim some sports memorabilia. Miami-based attorney Yale Galanter quickly found himself under withering cross-examination from a Simpson lawyer intent on proving that Galanter’s word couldn’t be trusted — that he knew ahead of time of Simpson’s plan and spent more effort covering up his involvement than representing Simpson. The weeklong hearing concluded late Friday with Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell telling attorneys she will issue her decision in writing. She didn’t specify a date. Simpson was returned to prison custody. His attorneys, Patricia Palm and Ozzie Fumo, said they were
optimistic that the judge would grant a new trial. “I just think the evidence of his claims is overwhelming,” Palm said. Galanter took the stand as the state’s star witness in a hearing on Simpson’s claim that he was so badly represented at trial and on appeal that his conviction should be thrown out. He spent most of the day on the defensive, with Simpson lawyer Tom Pitaro grilling him with accusations and pointed questions. “Mr. Simpson never told me he was going to go to the Palace (Station) hotel with a bunch of thugs, kidnap people and take property by force,” Galanter said at one point. “To insinuate I, as his lawyer, would have blessed it is insane.” Galanter conceded at one point that Simpson’s conviction was his responsibility. At another point, he conceded that he “misspoke” see OJ page 14

Jackpot for tonight’s Powerball grows to $600 million DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Powerball officials say the jackpot has climbed to an estimated $600 million, making it the largest prize in the game’s history and the world’s second largest lottery prize. Lottery officials say the prize is growing quickly Friday because so many people have been purchasing the $2 tickets. The jackpot has grown by an estimated $236 million since the last drawing on Wednesday.
The last jackpot was won on March 30, so it’s been growing for about six weeks. The next drawing is Saturday night. The largest jackpot ever was a $656 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2012. The prize was split three ways with winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland. Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are about 1 in 175 million.

Benghazi & IRS scandal: something in common What do the Benghazi cover-up and the IRS scandal have in common? They were both about winning elections, under false pretenses. Winning elections, after all, is something Barack Obama is good at. He obviously loves campaigning and delivering grand orations to enormous adoring crowds. He loves it so much that he flew off to Las Vegas to campaign the day after the first murder of a U.S. ambassador in 33 years. What actually happened in Benghazi was out of sync with the Obama campaign line. Osama bin Laden was dead. Al-Qaida was on the run. The global war on terror — well, don’t call it that anymore. A deliberate effort to mislead the voters was launched. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, White House press secretary Jay Carney and the president himself talked about a spontaneous protest of an anti-Muslim video — even though no evidence of that came from Benghazi. The White House and the State Department altered the CIA’s talking points — not just in one minor particular, as Carney claimed, but through 12 separate versions. The Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, armed with the talking points, spoke sternly about a spontaneous protest and an anti-Muslim video on five Sunday interview shows. The campaign trail press grilled Mitt Romney for his (impolitic) statement immediately after the attacks. Obama went on talk shows and peddled his line about an antiMuslim video. Debate moderator Candy Crowley came to Obama’s defense when he claimed that he had immediately stated that Benghazi was a terrorist attack — a claim Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler has awarded four Pinocchios. Mitt Romney, perhaps worried that Team Obama might wheel out the-thenpublicly-silent CIA Director David Petraeus in its defense, didn’t press the point. This attempt to mislead the electorate worked. It seems a stretch to say that it determined the outcome of the election. But it certainly helped the Obama campaign. And what about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative 501(c)(4) groups? Starting in March 2010, it questioned the tax-free status of one group after another with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names. That’s reminiscent of the Department of Homeland Security memo warning of the potential of such groups to engage in terrorist-type violence — which
of course hasn’t happened. An IRS official acknowledged and apologized for this misuse of government power last Friday. She attributed it to low-level IRS employees in Cincinnati. She said she had been informed about it in May 2011. Later news came out that tea party groups received letters of inquiry from Washington and IRS offices in California, as well. The IRS pressed some groups for very detailed information. Has a family member been a member of another organization or planned to run for political office? The targeting continued into 2012, when the criteria were changed to “political action type organizations involved in limiting/expanding government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform/movement.” We can’t have people educating people about the Constitution, can we? The acting IRS director, who assured Congress that no group was targeted because of its beliefs, was informed of the targeting of conservative groups in May 2012. Jay Carney has said that the White House had no knowledge of it until a few weeks ago. Maybe. We’ll see. Top Obama political aide David Plouffe told National Journal’s Ron Fournier that the IRS misdeeds did not really matter because Obama opponents were able to spend plenty of money. But they would have been able to spend more absent the IRS misconduct. Some tea partiers decided to fold up shop rather than face an extended IRS inquiry. Others ran up big legal bills. The fact is that the targeting of tea party groups by the IRS helped Democrats win elections. It’s hard not to believe that at least some IRS employees intended it to have that effect. Those who leaked confidential information certainly did so. The president has denounced the IRS misconduct in strong terms “if” it happened. He acknowledged that any targeting of one point of view by a government agency is wrong. But in 2009 at Arizona State University’s commencement, he noted that he had not been given an honorary degree and added that the school’s president and board of regents “will soon learn all about being audited by the IRS.” That doesn’t sound so funny now. (Syndicated columnist Michael Barone is senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner, is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)
LETTERS Why is target on law-abiding gun owners instead of criminals? To the editor, I sometimes wonder at things people say in their letters. For instance the other day James Veverka said something like, he was going to throw up if he heard the term law abiding citizen or law abiding gun owner. Now why in the world would that cause him to feel all nausea and sweaty. Is it the law abiding part? Funny turn of a phrase because I’d be more sickened by a non law abiding phrase such as, drug dealing felon or cereal murderer and things of that order. Clearly James just can’t stand it when his cherished liberal concepts get challenged. Taking exception to my description of references as a clutter, he dove into a study by John Hopkins Medical to support his contentions. To that I have to say, ho hum! John Hopkins is hardly an unbiased source. Like most big medical facilities it is 85 percent liberal and its studies are not trustworthy, at least by me. If you want an accurate report, I suggest James and the readers look to The Bureau of Justice Statistics. It says that gun crimes are down 75 percent since 1993. To hear the left tell their story you would think it was we had seen a 75 percent rise in gun crimes from that time until this. Only about 12 of Americans are aware of the truth so effective has the fear and misin-
formation campaign waged by them and promoted by their followers who believe MSNBC, Saturday Night Live, Move On and the Colbert Report are real news shows. The BJS also reports that criminals get their guns from family members and by stealing them as I wrote in my previous letter, which James had so much to say about. As for all those gun crimes in Chicago, who does James say is committing them? That’s right too, James omits that fact. Criminals, that’s who, not law abiding gun owners or honest citizens, criminals. And not one prevision of the left’s proposed laws targets these drug gang criminals. Everything targets the private gun owner. Their design is to abolish the 2nd Amendment and an individuals right to self defense. Not one prevision of the new laws would protect one child, one school, one gun free zone which we have seen attract the crazy, illegal gun possesor looking to create havoc, suffering and sorrow. The great compassionate left doesn’t want to solve this problem. They want issues to run on, dramatic issues. They want to put their soap box’s on children’s graves and tell you that if only you elect them they will fix everything. They lie. Steve Earle Hill
This interpretation of Second Amendment is not at all scholarly To the editor, Dear Mr. Wiles, It would truly be amusing if it weren’t so sad that you chose to speak on behalf of Don Ewing. Where to begin in answering your diatribe, aka letter, in response to my query of weaponry for private citizens. By your verbiage alone you allow us insight as to your feelings about the NRA, gun manufacturers, the Second Amendment and President Obama, just to name a few. Demeaning President Obama with all of your inappropriate and misleading labels is discouraging and disrespectful of his office. Aren’t we lucky as Americans to
stitution of the United States, which allows you and I to have free speech in an open society. Just try to picture if we were living in a country where citizens are “muzzled” or imprisoned because they dare to speak out and voice their opinions. What truly puzzles me is your so called interpretation of the Second Amendment. At best it is neither scholarly or in-depth and at it’s worst totally misleading. Although you feel that you had to interject your opinion, I am still awaiting an answer from Don Ewing to my recent query. Bernadette Loesch Laconia

An open letter to our Belknap County House Delegation As a community, we Granite Staters can do better when it comes to balancing our state budget and improving the communities we live in. Typically, efforts tend to get stifled by ideological positions in our Legislature that discount the reality of New Hampshire’s condition and how public policy affects it. The needs of our communities that can be addressed by additional state revenue must be balanced with the concerns raised by a casino. It is understandable why the House has concerns with the Senate version of the casino bill, but rather than nix it, the House should fix it. I am calling for the Belknap County Delegation to move beyond their current positions and face the reality of where we are as a state; it is time to govern! It is no secret that for some people, casinos carry a stigma. Furthermore, it is understandable that some could feel that gambling will tarnish the image of New Hampshire tourism. However, we have many problems afflicting our communities that truly tarnish our state’s image. Homelessness is on the rise in many communities, signifying our failure to care for those in need, especially the mentally ill. This shortcoming is of further concern when it involves children, which has increasingly become the case. We simply do not have the resources to adequately care for these people who need and deserve our help, and revenues from a casino could contribute to improving our capacity to do so. It would also help the county government avoid the costs of a broken mental health system which end up being down-shifted into our local property taxes. Another objection to casinos is derived from their capability of possibly inflicting social damage
via gambling addiction. This is worth considering, but it is also worth considering where else the state already generates its revenue. Tobacco and alcohol, as well as the lottery, have high potentials to be abused. Yet, we rely on those vicebased commodities to generate a large amount of the state’s revenue. I would argue that profiting off of a casino is in a similar vein. An additional concern is that the Senate version of the casino bill predisposes a specific casino license. Although a single license poses a legitimate concern for the Belknap County Delegation, there is much more at stake, such as the mental health crisis and the capacity to absorb more state budget downshift. Revenue from a casino could help address these issues as well as the state’s reliance on the Medicaid Enhancement Tax which contributes to health insurance inflation and the undermining of health care access. Lastly, there is the perspective that businesses that rely on tourism and entertainment as part of their business model will be hurt. This is a rather pessimistic stance that implies a certain level of scarcity in the consumer market. Another view is that a high-end destination casino will bring more people to our state, much like the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. In the end, the question really becomes whether it is a bigger “gamble” to govern and get something done to help people in need and deal with the budget down-shifts, or do nothing once again to solve our problems, allowing them to fester.

Amendment intended to guarantee rights is used to take them away To the editor, Has anyone noticed the perverse use of the 14th Amendment by the U.S. Supreme Court, in the past several decades, in expelling God from our public school systems. The 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War in particular to ensure equal treatment under the law for freed black slaves. A purpose that if you look at our history, it was seldom diligently applied to. I’d like to qualify that to say, at least until the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s and then it seems we moved quickly from 14th Amendment equal protection, to affirmative action. Yet around this same time we find the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment being diligently applied, or if we are describing the quality of this diligence, perversely applied, in cases to remove prayer and scripture read-
ing from our public schools, which was a free exercise of religion, which should have been protected by the 1st Amendment, which should have been further strengthened by the 9th and 10th Amendments. They did this in the name of protecting the minority from the tyranny of the majority, where no tyranny was happening but for someone’s hurt feelings. Yet notice later, in the banning of the teaching of Creation in public schools and supporting of the teaching of evolution, no such protection was given to the minority,yet here there has been a clear tyranny of the majority in this. An amendment that was intended to guarantee men’s rights has been used to take them away. How perverse is that? John Demakowski Franklin

LETTERS Thanks for your constant commitment to young people of Laconia To the editor, We would like to publicly thank everyone who supported our recent “Chem-Free After Prom Party” for the students of Laconia High School. This successful and positive event, which was organized through the efforts of Officer Steve Orton and Students Against Destructive Decision-making (SADD), students and staff from Freedom Found and Stand Up Laconia, offered students who committed to being drug-free a truly wonderful time. In this initial effort, we had over 60 students join us for a night that was safe, drug and alcohol free and fun for everyone. Our evening started after the prom ended. By 11:30 we are all on the bus in the parking lot of The Gunstock Ski Area. We took the bus, the cost of which was fully covered by our transportation friends at First Student, over to Funspot. There we had free reign of the games and bowling until 2 a.m. Students had a wonderful time but I think some of the chaperons may have had even more laughs while engaging in “Deal or No Deal” while eating pizza and donuts. It was great to see all the smiles and hear the laughter from our students and chaperons throughout our entire time at Funspot and we thank them for their support of this effort. At 2 a.m. we loaded up the bus for a trip over to the Gilford Cinema 8. Thanks to their support, we were able to watch Iron Man 3-D on its opening night (technically, the morning of its second day) while enjoying some very outstanding popcorn. After the show, we held our give-aways and students
walked away with gift cards, iPods and many other prizes, once again due to the significant community support that occurred to make this initiative happen for our students. To wrap up the event, we took an early morning drive over to Weirs Beach and had a sunrise breakfast on the beach that was sponsored by our local school district food service program. In summary, lots of great food, lots of great company and a completely enjoyable event for all who chose to participate. The following agencies and businesses are the reason this event was able to happen and we are very appreciative for their constant commitment to the young people of Laconia.

To the editor, It’s summertime and Newfound Lake is open for business. Its pristine waters are considered the jewel of New Hampshire — just ask any resident about its water and you’ll get an earful. This area is packed with many small adventures. Newfound Lake is also home to the New Hampshire Marathon, it has the largest fresh water beach in N.H., it has miles of bike paths, endless water activities and thousands of miles of hiking trails. You know it’s a special place when you find yourself smiling — just by saying the words “Newfound Lake”. We all look forward to coming here in the summer. Do you remember the excitement of driving by Our Lady of Grace Chapel when you were kids and couldn’t wait to get a glimpse of the lake! And as you got older that excitement line seemed to have moved to the New Hampton Bridge, then to Exit 23, then to Concord... and finally to that big blue “Welcome to New Hampshire” sign by the border. You know what I am talking about. That stress somehow lifts off our shoulders as we head to the lake for the weekend or vacation. It’s a carefree and tranquility type of attitude — right? Well, let’s keep it that way! We’re happy to see all of you again, let the summer of 2013 begin and may the summer days be warm and full of sunshine... A few of you may have noticed the
summer at the north end of the lake. Well, since you left we have heard of many, many, many more wind turbines being proposed for this beautiful lake. A dark cloud is hanging over our community casting its shadow over many of the towns around Newfound Lake. This dark cloud is a metaphor for all the confusion surrounding these next three proposals. If approved, Newfound Lake will be the wind turbine capital of New England with as many as 125 turbines, standing 454 feet high (taller than the Groton turbines) with red flashing lights. From one Laker to another... let’s not let this happen to our lake. Let’s be extremely vocal in our opposition toward these next three proposals — for they will not be the only thing we will be staring at: more power lines, more substations, wide paths carving up our mountainsides, and extensive deforestation on our mountainous ridge lines. Please help us in our efforts to protect the lakes beauty and help heal the community by showing your support in these trying times. Residents here are united against these next few proposals — and we want your support! Let’s consider it a united effort of both residents and visitors alike.

SACRIFICE
Surrounded by sand, rocks and grit Eating meals from a ready-made kit I dream of my green, far away homeland As I’m here fighting in Afghanistan. Old soldiers who fought in other wars used to say, “Mine is not to question why, Mine is to do or die.” Asking not to die is now how I pray. New technology like Skype does help some I get to see my family for ten minutes a month. The days seem endless as we patrol in 12-hour shifts But not seeing my boys grow is what I miss.

Hit the # button on your phone 6 or 7 times in quick succession To the editor, This morning, Friday May 17 at 3:51 AM, we received another unwanted phone call from TIFF Brokerage (417 800-2575). Looks like, we have to hang-up our phone for the nights. I have repeatedly contacted the “Do Not Call Center” via Internet and filed complaints. All in vain. Someone is being paid to do a job, yet it seems, they do nothing to stop those daily, unwanted calls. Friends have been helpful and suggested the following actions: — Say three little words ‘Hold On, Please” then put down the phone ...
until you hear the ‘beep-beep’ tone. — Calls without answers are used by telemarketing people to determine the best time to call. The best you can do if nobody is answering, immediately start hitting your # button on the phone — 6 to 7 times as quickly as possible. This will confuse the machine that dialed the call, and best of all it kicks your number out of their system! Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!

Four sisters (& a friend) enter hospitality biz as owners of Newfound motel By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
HEBRON — Four sisters and a friend, all with roots in the Weymouth, Mass., area, will be opening the newly-renamed Blue Moon Motel on the Mayhew Turnpike (Rte. 3A) on Memorial Day weekend. ‘’We used to rent a cabin on Newfound Lake every summer and all have strong ties to this area,’’ says Mary Joyce of Thornton, oldest of the four sisters, who has been a resident of New Hampshire ever since 1980 when her husband took a job with the U.S. Forest Service in the White Mountain National Forest. Joining her in running the motel will be her sisters, Therese Joyce, currently of Seattle, Washington, who is relocating to Boston, Mass. in June, Anne Joyce-Brandt of Weymouth, Mass., Melissa Keough, also of Weymouth, and a friend Jeanine Callahan of Weymouth. ‘’We knew it was for sale last summer and decided to take a look at it. We talked it over to see if we could run it as a collaborative venture and decided to buy it and continue to run it as a motel and see what happens,’’ says Mary Joyce, She is the person most familiar with the area, having served as the executive director of the Circle Program, which provides summer camping experiences for girls from at-risk families in the greater Plymouth area. She says the sisters have all remained close over the years, taking ‘’sister vacations’’ together and
Four sisters will be running the newly-renamed Blue Moon Motel, formerly the Whip-O-Will, on the Mayhew Turnpike (Rte. 3A) in Hebron. They are Mary Joyce of Campton, Therese Joyce of Seattle, Washington; Anne Joyce-Brandt of Weymouth, Mass, and Melisa Keough of Weymouth, Mass. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)
have a special affinity for the Newfound Lake area, where they have rented cabins for the past 20 summers or so for family gatherings. ‘’We’re all keeping our day jobs but we’re looking forward to the experience of running our own business together,’’ says Anne, who along with Melissa runs a cleaning business in Weymouth. The 10-unit motel will be open from Memorial
Day to Columbus Day weekend and the sisters have been busy making improvements which will catch the eyes of their customers, including a complete repainting of all the rooms, as well as new carpeting, beds, bedding and mattresses and redecorating the reception area. Formerly known as the Whip O Will, the motel was built in the 1950s as part of a much larger resort which had extensive frontage on Newfound Lake, where there were 32 full cottages as well as a full-service restaurant. The lakefront property and cottages were sold in the 1990s and that area now is a condominium development but the remaining 19 acres and motel located on the other side of the highway have been continuously operated as a motel. The sisters says one advantage that the Blue Moon has is that it still has deeded beach rights on Newfound which will allow their guests access to the lake. They already have strong bookings for Laconia Motorcycle Week and plan to be active in regional tourism groups and the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce. And they feel a special family connection to the resort, noting that a 91-year-old aunt, when she heard about the purchase, pulled out a postcard from her collection from the Whip-O-Will which had been sent to her in 1963 by the four sisters’ mother. The postcard said that they had had lunch in Bristol and stayed in unit #11, which is now the owner’s quarters at the motel. The sisters chose the Blue Moon name to give the motel a fresh start and said that the name comes from the date on which they signed the purchase agreement last year, which was on August 28, just when the second full moon of the month, known as a blue moon, took place. ‘’We’re looking to continue a Newfound Lake tradition,’’ says Mary, who notes the motel will be holding an open house later this month for the local business community.

Store offering new women’s clothing opens downtown By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Once a destination for retail sales, downtown Laconia hasn’t introduced a store that sells new, everyday women’s clothing for a long time. With the opening of Coraline’s Closet, two local women have brought an offering from Laconia’s past into the city’s present — and have used modern techniques to do so. Cori Hooker and Ashley Nialetz have been friends since they were teenagers, both members of Gilford High School’s Class of ‘02. Nialetz has since become a web design and social media professional, while Hooker tends bar at a local restaurant and has

developed a zeal for shopping. It occurred to the two of them, after Hooker stumbled across a website for a wholesale clothing supplier, that they could combine Nialetz’s expertise with her friend’s shopping passion. Coraline’s Closet, a women’s clothing store, is the result, and though they’ve only been in operation for a short while, they say response has been greater than they had hoped. Coraline’s Closet, located at 100 Beacon Street West — just north of Sawyer’s Jewelry — will be hosting a grand opening celebration today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to refreshments, the event will feature a 20 percent off sale and a giveaway of a see next page

Sanbornton voters say no to spending $8k on storm water catchment basins for Winnisquam watershed By Gail OBer
SANBORNTON — One of the more controversial topics at Wednesday night’s annual Town Meeting was a warrant article that would have provided $7,946 in local taxpayer money to match a state grant for two storm water catchment basins in the Winnisquam watershed. The measure went down to an overwhelming defeat. The financial grant match would have required a $5,460 in “in kind contributions” from Sanbornton to get a total of $38,886 for the Best Management Practices in the 3,600 acre Black Brook watershed. Speaking for it was Don Foudriat who spearheaded the study after the completion of the Maple Circle-Black Brook Road-Town Beach project in 2011. He explained that phosphorous contributes to invasive species growth and the decline of the overall health of the lake. The study recommended 31 “BMPs” for a total of $900,000 but selectmen chose the two least expensive ones, said Selectman Guy Giunta, to see if they could spark interest in the other communities whose water also runs into Lake Winnisquam. He said other communities on the lake don’t appear to be doing anything to mitigate the storm water runoff and have declined selectmen requests for meetings.
Speaking against it were a lot of people, including Budget Committee member Jeff Jenkins and Curt McGee who both said the intent of the BMPs was noble and lake quality was key, but there were too many strings attached to the state grant and once the state gets involved they will dictate the terms of maintenance. When asked, no one could say how much maintenance could cost. Jenkins and Selectboard Chair Dave Nickerson both said they had information that the town would be required to clean the basins twice annually, or after each inch of rain and the residue would be considered hazardous waste. “They’ll take it to Concord, burn it, and send it back to use so we can spread it on our lawns,” he said evoking laughter from the crowd. Scott Taylor of Kaulback Road, who defined himself as a tree-hugger, said it was a rare occasion that he agreed with Jeff Jenkins and Curt McGee, who also spoke against it, but said that he was against spending the money because there isn’t enough information. The two basins would have been a small part in the overall Black Brook Watershed Management Plan that was recommended by in August by the N.H. Department of Environmental Services as a way to see next page
from preceding page granite bench, made by Graystone Masonry. Nialetz and Hooker began their venture in February as an online retailer. They have promoted their business purely through social networks — Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and the oldfashioned word-of-mouth. They had thought about transitioning eventually to a brick-and-mortar store, but were surprised at how quickly their clientele drew them toward that eventuality. “We were finding that people shopping on the website wanted to see the clothes in person,” said Nialetz. “It took off and we had so much interest.” Their local, online customers were eager to visit their storefront, which opened on May 1. Meanwhile, customers that first learned of the story by passing by also became connected to the company through virtual means after their initial purchase. “There’s a lot of people stopping by, they’re so excited to find a place where they can get new clothing again,” said Nialetz.
Stocking what Hooker calls “dressy-casual” clothing for women, Coraline’s Closet offers tops, bottoms, dresses and skirts, as well as accessories. They handpick the items they stock, selecting only items that are in fashion, in season and affordable. Hooker said no clothing in the store costs more than $30. “We look for what we would want to wear,” said Hooker. And, in the wake of the Abercrombie & Fitch controversy over refusing to serve plus-sized customers, Coraline’s Closet is proud to stock sizes from extrasmall to XXXL. Hooker and Nialetz recall coming downtown to shop for clothes at Cherry & Webb (which closed in 2000). Hooker said, “This is where we’re from, we’re trying to bring something back to this community.” Encouraged by efforts, such as the Laconia Main Street Initiative, to revitalize downtown, she said, “We want to be part of that.” Coraline’s Closet is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekends.

LACONIA — The City Council this week scheduled a public hearing for Monday, May 28 at 7 p.m. to address a recommendation by the Finance Committee to increase the sewer rates in each of the next three fiscal years, as recommended by the Finance Committee. Finance Director Donna Woodaman explained that at the current rates the Sanitary Sewer Fund, which finances the operating expenses and capital outlays of the system, is running an annual deficit as expenses of $3,882,845 exceed revenues of of $3,275,157 by $607,688. The sewer rate consists of a fixed quarterly fee and a consumption charge, which are currently $30 and $3.30 per hundred cubic feet (HCF), or 748 gallons, respectively. The Finance Committee recommends raising the quarterly fee to $32.50 in 2014, to $33.25 in 2015 and to $34 in 2016 and the consumption charge to $3.69, $4.19 and $4.75 over the same period. The increases would apply to all 9,894 metered customers in each of the three years while the higher rates would apply to those with only sewer service and seasonal properties beginning in 2015. For metered properties, the average residential sewer bill, based on annual consumption of 120 HCF, is projected to rise from $516 to $572.80 in 2014, $635.80 in 2015 and $706 in 2016, or by 11

As part of the state’s response to the new federal regulations, Morgan said Laconia, Gilford and Belmont were grouped together as one “administrative unit.” He said he doesn’t know why the state did that but said it was shortly after that when the idea of the Concord Regional Solid Waste Resource Recovery Center or Co-op was formulated. He said regulations came rapidly after that and Gilford began implementing more “environmentally pleasing” methods. “We struck a deal and got into the co-op,” he said. He said at some point Belmont went its own way — he doesn’t know why — and Laconia and Gilford jointly purchased some land on what is now the Lakes Industrial Park on Hounsell Avenue. When the co-op opened, he said Hounsell Avenue was converted to industrial and commercial use and the Laconia Transfer Station opened on Meredith Center Road. He said Laconia owns the land and Gilford has a partnership whereby about 30 percent of the capital costs are born by the town as well as 28 percent of the operating expenses. “We have been very lucky,” Morgan said noting Gilford has never really had to deal with household waste in town with the exception of its recycling center, which is on the same spot as the old gravel pit. What is somewhat unique to Gilford, said Morgan, is the town never created a curbside pickup system. “It’s always been the responsibility of the residents to take it away,” he said. As it stands now, he explained, there are three components to getting rid of household waste in Gilsee next page

GILFORD from page one bage,” he said noting that there was very little that was thrown away and almost all of it was natural — like paper, wood and cotton — and most people burned what they had. Now, he said, there is much more waste and much of it is not natural materials. “We didn’t throw away anything back then,” he said laughing. As the community began to grow, he said in 1972, the town began excavating the gravel pit for road building and would fill the newly excavated portion with stumps, dirt and other things. He said what little household trash there was went to the Laconia incinerator next to the airport. The product of the incinerator were taken to “Clinker-Bell” — a facility off Route 11-B that processed the incombustible residue from the incinerators — known as clinkers. “I think they had a lot of problems with the clinkers,” he said. He said the garbage world changed in the late 1970s and the early 1980s as all states, including New Hampshire, began complying with the Federal Clear Air Act of 1970 and the Clear Water Act passed in 1972.
percent each year. Woodaman projects the proposed rate schedule would shrink the deficit in the Sanitary Sewer Fund to $287,711 in 2014 and to $69,442 in 2015 before returning a positive balance of $180,994 in 2016. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) recently projected that the city will need to repair, replace and construct sewers in the foreseeable future at an estimated cost approaching $12 million. At the same time, the capital improvement program of the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP), which represents 63 percent of the annual operating budget of the sanitary sewer fund, projects capital improvements costing $54.6 million to be undertaken in the next 10 years. These include major improvements at the wastewater treatment plant in Franklin as well as to pump stations and sewer mains. As the largest of the 10 member municipalities of the WRBP, the city bears 40 percent of the program’s capital budget. In addition to the treatment plant, the WRBP includes 14 pump stations and 60 miles of sewer lines. built between 1973 and 1993 at a cost of $75 million. Federal grants accounted for three-quarters of the cost and state grants for another fifth while the 10 municipalities contributed 5 percent. Woodaman said that although the federal government offers low-cost financing, the cost of maintaining the system falls entirely to the member municipalities.

from preceding page ford — getting it to Laconia, taking it from Laconia to Penacook, and disposing of it at the coop. He said the approximate cost of the last two are now the responsibility of the town. Morgan said it costs $66.80 per ton to process it in Penacook and the town pays Wheelabrator, which is the company that manages the co-op. It cost $16.72 per ton to haul the solid waste from Laconia to Penacook and the money is paid to Waste Management, the company that manages the Laconia Transfer Station. These two are the portions of the process that Gilford taxpayers pay for through the town, said Morgan. He said Gilford residents have two choices to get the solid waster from their home to Laconia — pay someone to do it, like a trash hauler, or bring it themselves. If they use a hauler, the transport fees from the house to Laconia are privately billed to the resident. If they take it themselves, he said the preferred method of payment is through $5 coupons that are purchased from Gilford Town Hall. The price is $5 for the first ton (per month) $10 for the second ton and $30 for every ton after that per visit. Morgan said every vehicle pays at least $5 for every visit and haulers are weighed full and then empty to determine how much household waste there is per load. In his opinion, the transfer station is well-man-
aged and is “harder to get into than Fort Knox.” He said the town of Gilford pays the upfront costs or the second two components and any revenue collected on the part of Gilford’s residents through the sale of coupons returns to the town. Should the Selectboard raise the so-called tipping fees for haulers at the transfer station, as Laconia has, and as it proposed to do at its last meeting, Morgan said the revenue from the hike would return to Gilford, which would lower the amount of taxes that need to be raised for solid waste. He said it’s money that won’t be assessed to the taxpayers. It’s part of our deal with Laconia,” he said. “They’ll send us a check for what the get from the Gilford taxpayers.” Right now he said the town subsidizes the disposal of every ton of trash that comes from Gilford, including commercial waste, a feature of Gilford’s system that is pretty unique. Morgan said when the system was designed, the town had almost no commercial enterprise. If the selectmen change the fees structure, he said it would become a user fee as opposed to a tax. “Either way, someone will pay the bill,” he said. Some taxpayers spoke against the proposal to go to a user-fee based system at a public hearing on May 8. The matter was tabled for further review by the town administrator said Morgan and is likely to be decided Wednesday at the regular selectman’s meeting.
CHILDREN’S AUCTION from page one vices for children. Capital projects that improve the lives of children or enhance the work of the agencies make up the third category, “C.” As the committee prepared its recommendations for allocating the proceeds it decided to create a fourth category,”D,” that aimed to widen opportunities for children to attend camps, participate in programs and play sports. Applying these criteria, the committee recommended and the board approved allotting $142,000, or 41-percent of the total, to category “A,” $155,000, or 46-percent to category “B,” $16,580, or 5-percent and $27,000, or 8-percent.

The recipients in category “C” were: Franklin Parks and Recreation Department ($5,000), Winnipesaukee Skating Club ($5,000) and Winnipesaukee Playhouse ($6,580). In category “D” funds were awarded to: Prescott Farm ($2,500), Tapply Thompson Community Center ($5,000), Tilton-Northfield Recreation Council ($5,000), Winnipesaukee Playhouse ($5,000), Project EXTRA!

At first she ignored it, figuring it was from rowdy students coming home from a bar. Suddenly, “This girl was shrieking,” followed by loud bangs just seconds later.
“It didn’t sound good at all,” Dehel said. “I turned to my boyfriend and I said, ‘I think someone just got murdered.’ It was awful.” The university sent a text alert to notify students and staff. “While our hearts are laden with grief, this weekend’s commencement ceremonies will go on as scheduled,” Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz said in a see next page

LFD from page one country” of New Hampshire. According to Deputy Chief Shawn Riley, the National Guard — in this case the 12th Civil Support Team — periodically takes things that can no longer be used or is no longer wanted by many New Hampshire communities to the Central American country that was the site of a prolonged civil war in the 1970s and 1980s and has regular earthquakes — the last one recorded on April 20. Riley, who was in the Central American nation about 10 years ago, said it’s not uncommon to see firefighters who are not wearing protective clothing to go into burning buildings or buildings damaged from earthquakes. He said the equipment being
donated by Laconia is about 10-yearsold and can no longer be used according to the National Fire Protection Association. Deputy Chief Deb Pendergast said there are about 15 sets of gear that will be sent to San Salvador’s fire department. She said Laconia gets new equipment about every five years, uses the existing equipment as backup for about five years and then must discard it or give it some place outside the United States. In the past, Riley said the department has donated SCBA or breathing apparatus to El Salvador. Lt. Col. John Logsdon said a few years ago, the unit brought musical equipment donated by Derry schools to El Salvador.
Community Services sells all $956,250 in tax credits to help pay for $2.4 million renovation of Laconia’s old Federal Bldg. LACONIA — Chris Santaniello, executive director of Lakes Region Community Services, announced yesterday that the agency completed the sale of $956,250 worth of tax credits, which is among the largest grants of tax credits in the history of the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) and the largest share of the financing to renovate the agency’s new home in the Federal Building. LRCS provides services to individuals living with developmental disabilities and acquired brain disorders as well as to their families throughout Belknap County and southern Grafton County. The tax credits represent contributions to the agency from more than three dozen corporate donors in return for credits against their liability for state business taxes. Santaniello said that some firms took the opportunity to leverage a charitable contribution, but “what was amazing was that once some of these businesses learned more about LRCS they purchased more tax credits.” In 2009 LRCS was notified that it would have to leave the building on the former campus of the Laconia State School where it had operated since the 1980s. But, but before the year was out the agency was awarded the Federal Building on North Main Street, earlier vacated by the headquarters staff of the White Mountain National Forest.
In addition to the tax credits, LRCS secured a $25,745 grant from the CDFA to fund an energy audit as well as a $500,000 loan at twopercent and $225,000 Energy Enterprise grant, also through the CDFA, to install efficient heating and cooling systems. A Community Development Block Grant of $500,000 through the city of Laconia and a $145,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture/Rural Development topped off the $2,351,995 package to finance the renovation. “We set some very extremely ambitious goals with this project,” said Gary Lemay, president of the board of directors, “We got there.” He stressed the importance of locating downtown where the agency could “support other businesses that support us.” Joanne Piper-Lang, director of development, said that the project led to the restoration of a historic building, provided a home for an important agency and introduced a new asset to downtown Laconia. Santaniello said that “beyond the financial benefits, this opportunity has opened doors and built relationships for LRCS,” explaining that the agency has entered partnerships with businesses it did not have before that she deemed “just as significant as the financial support we received.” — Michael Kitch
OJ from page 2 when he told the trial judge, Jackie Glass, that crucial audio recordings had been carefully analyzed by experts. “Clearly I misspoke,” Galanter said as Pitaro bored in. “I would never, ever ... I would just never intentionally mislead a judicial officer or a lawyer. I’m falling on that sword.”
Galanter denied giving Simpson the go-ahead to retrieve the photos and footballs he believed had been stolen from him. He denied keeping Simpson in the dark about offers of plea deals that carried only a few years in prison. He said his client agreed all along with the decision not to put him on the stand to testify at his trial.

Hobo & Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads prepare to open for season LINCOLN — Officials at the Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads are advising the public that the rail line between Lincoln and Tilton is once again active for the season. Various train operations will continue through December, including excursion trains, special tourist trains and other equipment moves. The railroad is reminding the public that precaution should be exercised around moving trains and to always expect a train. Other safety considerations to keep in mind include grade crossing signals, which should always be obeyed. Drivers should stop when they hear whistle signals at grade crossings and never try to beat a train at a crossing. In an effort to promote the message of railroad safety, the Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads have joined forces with Operation Lifesaver, a nationally recognized nonprofit group that works to improve railroad safety through engineering, education and enforcement. “People need to be aware of the potential danger around moving rail equipment, even when rail cars
and locomotives are moving at slow speeds.” said Benjamin Clark, Vice President of the Railroad. “Safety is our first priority.” For the Hobo Railroad, scenic tourist excursion trains will depart from Hobo Junction in Lincoln on weekends in May and operate daily during the summer and into the fall. The one hour and twenty minute round trip train excursion travels along the Pemigewasset River and crosses several roadways. The Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad will also depart daily from Meredith and Weirs Beach for a two hour excursion along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. The round trip excursion goes between Meredith, Weirs Beach and Lakeport. “People love to look at trains and we have a number of events scheduled where they can see and experience rail travel up close and personal in a safe manner,” concluded Clark. For more information regarding train schedules and special events, visit www.hoborr.com or call 603-7452135.

Open house at Huot Tech Squam Lakes Association kicks off milfoil management season with Weed Watcher training Center next Thursday HOLDERNESS — The Squam Lakes Association (SLA) is gearing up for another successful and busy summer of variable milfoil management. Discovered in the Squam Lakes in 2000, the SLA has worked tirelessly to control and eradicate this noxious aquatic plant through a variety of best management practices. Last year, the SLA experienced their most successful milfoil management season to date, pulling a record amount of variable milfoil from the Squam Lakes and River. These efforts have indeed been rewarding; the Squam Lakes have not seen a new infestation location since 2007, and many current infestations are being reduced in size. This year, the SLA hopes to build on last year’s successes and push variable milfoil back further. The SLA hires a team of Squam Conservation Interns who manage most of the removal efforts in the Squam Lakes. Local volunteers also play a critical role in the management of invasive species. The SLA is currently recruiting volunteers to assist in their invasive plant management program. Weed Watchers survey the lakes for new, undetected milfoil infestations and report them to the SLA. This is an important component of milfoil management. The SLA invites those interested in learning more to join the upcoming Weed Watcher information session and training on Tuesday, May 28 from 7-9 p.m. at the SLA Resource Center.

The average sales price came in at $299,681 with a median price point of $192,500. Last April we had only 61 sales but the average sales price was a bit higher at $324,580. With 56 percent of the sales below the $200,000 mark last month it is bound to have an effect on the average sales price. Just like last year, there were a number of home thefts in April in the Lakes Region. I am not sure if the local authorities are going to be able to do much about it. Just like last year these thefts occurred in broad daylight and the perpetrators seemed to have inside help on most of them. Some of these heists required some patience though and they had to be carefully planned and executed to be successful while other used the art of surprise to pull this caper off. Take for example the case at 351 Horne Road in Belmont. This three bedroom, two and a half, 1,400-square-foot, split level (disguised as a raised ranch) with a D.O.B. of 1989 was whisked away sometime after 9:00 a.m. on April 26th for the criminally low price of $135,000. Where’s the crime? Well, this was a short sale in progress, or a “211” Sergeant Joe Friday said. It took only a total of 71 days for this swindle to come down and the thief got away with this property for 58 percent of the tax assessment of $235,500. Now this old girl needed some TLC and was stolen “as is,” but the super location, the two car garage, the heated workshop, a 1.46-acre level lot, and an in-ground pool make this a home with a lot of upside. I just hope the new owner doesn’t launder money in the pool. A few weeks earlier at 49 Pinecrest in Gilford another seller got shorted so that the buyer could literally walk away with a whole bag full of equity. This crime scene is a 1967 1,393-square-foot, three bedroom, two bath contemporary home that is in good shape, is situated in a great neighborhood, and has a really nice half acre lot. This crime took a little longer to unfold in this case with the subject property being on the market 426 days and under contract for 161. It took a while for the underworld lawyers to work out the details and how much their cut was going to be. But with a sales price
of just $145,000 and a tax assessed value of $218,900, this culprit’s patient really paid off. Another property theft occurred at 171 Sarah Circle in Laconia. This area is known as a very nice part of town and people there just aren’t use to this type of criminal activity. Sure enough though, no area is safe. This four bedroom, two and a half bath, 2,261-square-foot cape is a quality built home constructed in 2005 on a .37 acre lot with beach rights to Winnisquam. An agent known as the “undertaker” was involved in this short sale transaction. He enabled some lucky chump to walk away with this fine property for only $197,000 which was way under the current $293,200 assessed value. Six feet under, to be exact. It took him a total of 343 days to mastermind this operation, but the “undertaker” is always willing to wait. It’s part of his training. A bank owned property at 201 Red Hill Road in Moultonborough also got lifted. This contemporary home built in 1994 has 3,468-square-feet of living space, a dedicated second floor master suite, two guest bedrooms, three baths, a beautiful great room with gas fireplace, great deck with mountain views, and guest quarters in the walkout lower level. This home sits on a nice 2.4 acre lot with mountain views in a quiet location that would be perfect for a family meeting if you get my drift. Now this had to be an inside job. Most bank jobs are. I actual sold this property back in 2004 for $496,000 and now even though it is assessed at $350,500 someone managed to steal it for $266,000. There had to be people on the inside on this one. I am not sure that local law enforcement agencies are equipped or trained to stop this. There were at least 21 sales in April that sold for three quarters or less than their assessed values! Some sold even as low as 26 percnet! When will this crime spree end?

TILTON — Genevieve F. (Deveau) Basiliere, 90, a permanent resident of Tilton since 1991, died Thursday, May 16, 2013, following a period of failing health. She was born in Nova Scotia, Canada, September 1, 1922, daughter of Henry and Beatrice (Comeau) Deveau. Genevieve and her husband summered in Tilton since 1969, moving permanently to Tilton from Saugus, MA in 1991. Over the years she worked at NECCO Confectionary Co, American Optical and General Electric in the aircraft department, all in Massachusetts. In later years, as a stay at home mom, she continued her employment from home until her retirement, following 30 years with William S. Haynes Company in Boston (manufacturers of flutes and piccolos). She was a parishioner of St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Tilton. Genevieve was predeceased by siblings, Lewis
Deveau and Barbara Exel. Her family includes her husband of 66 years, Clarence “Buzz” L. Basiliere of Tilton; her son, John H.

6th Annual Girls on the Run 5K will be held June 9 CONCORD – Hundreds of girls will descend upon the New Hampshire Technical Institute on Sunday, June 9 for the 6th Annual Girls on the Run Spring 5K Celebration. The run starts at 10:30 a.m. The move to Concord comes in response to rapid growth of the Girls on the Run program with teams now reaching all areas of the state. In New Hampshire, the number of girls participating in the spring program has skyrocketed by 63 percent from last year. In 2012, 440 girls participated in the program. This year, 720 girls are part of 50 teams in schools around the state. Executive Director Jennifer Hubbell explained that the run was moved to Concord because it required a venue that can handle the large number of expected runners. “Plus, we are Girls on the Run New Hampshire and this is a central location for our teams coming from the Lakes Region, as well as Keene and the mountains,” she said.
Volunteers are needed to provide assistance with event-day logistics, registration, water stops, course assistance and more. The event will need more than 100 volunteers, and all ages are welcomed. Girls on the Run is a youth development program that combines an interactive curriculum and running to address the physical, emotional, mental and social well-being of pre-teen girls. Lessons provide girls with the tools to make positive decisions and to avoid risky adolescent behaviors. The participants, who work with volunteer coaches for 10 weeks, train for a 5K as part of the program. The June 5K celebration – “to call it a race implies that it is competitive, which it is not,” Hubbell said – is the culmination of the program and is open to the public. To register for the 5K Celebration, visit www.girlsontherunnh.org. To volunteer, contact Betsy Cissel at betsy.cissel@girlsontherun.org.

LACONIA — May is National Stroke Awareness Month. LRGHealthcare wants to make the community aware that by thinking F.A.S.T. you can help save lives and improve recovery. These simple letters can help people recognize the signs of stroke and get help right away. F- Face- Look for an uneven smile A- Arm- Check if one arm is weak S- Speech- Listen for slurred speech T- Time- Call 911 right away “Time is crucial in the treatment of stroke, as on average, every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke and roughly every four minutes someone dies from a stroke,” said Sally Minkow, Director of Education Services at LRGHealthcare. “The earlier a stroke is recognized and the patient receives medical attention, the greater chance of recovery.” Strokes occur when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and vital nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or ruptures. When this occurs, part of the brain is deprived of blood and oxygen, destroying millions of valuable nerve cells within minutes. Other stroke symptoms include: • Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech • Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes • Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination • Sudden severe headache with no known cause Stroke is a leading cause of death and serious, long-term disability in the United States.

Gilford United Methodist Church online auction underway, ends May 26 GILFORD — The first annual on-line auction sponsored by First United Methodist Church of Gilford is underway and bids are coming in – and there are still many, many items available. The auction has certificates for the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in New York City, activities throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine as well as the New Hampshire sites that we take our children and visitors to see. There is also a book donated by a local author, Sy Montgomery, certificates to local businesses and restaurants, and a plethora of antiques and collectables. Go on-line to www.umcgilford.org and follow the instructions for setting up a password in order to bid. Then look at the pictures and start bidding. Keep checking in to rebid. When the auction is over, bidders will be notified of what they have won. Send in the money and the item is yours. The auction began on May 5 and ends on May 26. This marks the 16th year the
church has had an auction. There will be the traditional live auction in the late summer, but the on-line auction is something new. First United Methodist Church moved from Laconia to Gilford in the 1960’s when urban renewal claimed their property and building in Laconia. Thanks to a gift from the Royal Smith family, they were given land in Gilford to raise a new building. Looking toward the future, the congregation decided to build a “modern” building, rather than the traditional New England style church. Today, the building has gathered a number of nicknames based on its shape and programs it has housed -”The Flying Nun’s Hat”, “The Ski Jump”, “The Flying Diaper”, and “The Hungry Dove”. Over the years, the church has opened its doors and the parking lot to many community groups for meeting space. While some make a donation to the church for the use of the building, these donations rarely cover the actual cost of utilities, maintenance, etc. In the past year, groups have

PSU named one of nation’s greenest
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability has led to its being named among North America’s greenest colleges. The 2013 Princeton Review’s Guide to 322 Green Colleges is an indepth look at the most environmentally friendly institutions of higher learning. The Princeton Review, in collaboration with the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council, noted PSU has demonstrated ‘notable commitments to sustainability in their academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation.’ PSU President Sara Jayne Steen said the students, faculty, and staff are dedicated to sustainability, and the ranking recognizes the University’s achievements. “Members of the campus community are rightly committed to environmental sustainability,” said Steen. “You see that in coursework, student programming, the campus landscaping, even in dining services. Many people deserve recognition for their thoughtful and multi-faceted work.”

Upgrading some aspect of the technology you use on a daily basis will give you a thrill. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be presented with new challenges, but don’t worry -- the same strategies you learned long ago will work for you once more. The trick is not to let anything ruffle your confidence. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You continually gain new insight into how the world sees you, and you’ll be interested in the way this changes based on the roles you take on. Because of this, you’ll be extremely careful about your next move. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be interesting to someone new. The best part is that you’ll capture this interest without having to change a single thing about yourself. You are, after all, naturally fascinating. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a mess of detail work coming your way, and your best bet is to find a helper or delegate it altogether. It’s not that you couldn’t do it, but this work is not the best use of your strengths or time today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your free conscience and light heart keep you moving forward. A lovely state of relaxed happiness allows you to focus well and get an impressive amount of work done on a project. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You love the prestige that comes with being a part of certain groups, but you’re still on the fence about whether or not it’s really worth all the time and energy involved. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Try to stay emotionally even-footed. Resist the slippery slope of infatuation. Avoid putting so much intense and emotional focus on one person today that other things fall out of balance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your strong beliefs will attract attention both from those who do not agree and from those who very much agree. Luckily you don’t need a consensus to benefit from this attention. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). That you want to delight someone is not quite enough

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 18, 2013— Page 25
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, May 18, the 138th day of 2013. There are 227 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 18, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure creating the Tennessee Valley Authority. On this date: In 1642, the Canadian city of Montreal was founded by French colonists. In 1765, about one-fourth of Montreal was destroyed by a fire. In 1863, the Siege of Vicksburg began during the Civil War, ending July 4 with a Union victory. 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 1926, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson vanished while visiting a beach in Venice, Calif. (McPherson reappeared more than a month later, saying she’d escaped after being kidnapped and held for ransom.) In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces finally occupied Monte Cassino in Italy after a four-month struggle with Axis troops. 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 1973, Harvard law professor Archibald Cox was appointed Watergate special prosecutor by U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson. In 1980, the Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington state exploded, leaving 57 people dead or missing. 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 eight-day mission to the Mir space station. Ten years ago: A Hamas suicide attacker disguised as an observant Jew killed seven Israeli bus passengers. Pope John Paul II celebrated his 83rd birthday with an open-air Mass and requests for prayers so he could continue his papacy. “Les Miserables” closed on Broadway after more than 16 years and 6,680 performances. Five years ago: President George W. Bush lectured the Arab world about everything from political repression to the denial of women’s rights in a speech at the Egyptian resort of Sharm ElSheik. Kenny Chesney was named entertainer of the year by the Academy of Country Music for the fourth straight time. One year ago: Social network Facebook made its trading debut with one of the most highly anticipated IPOs in Wall Street history; however, by day’s end, Facebook stock closed up only 23 cents from its initial pricing of $38. In his first meeting with President Barack Obama, French President Francois Hollande declared he would withdraw all French combat troops from Afghanistan by year’s end. The Olympic flame arrived in Britain, the country hosting the 2012 Olympics. Renowned German baritone Dietrich FischerDieskau, 86, died in Starnberg.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Ned” for 25 years, and each year it seems to get worse. When we married, he told me I could do whatever I wanted with the house, but he never said I’d be the one paying. The house was barely furnished, the bedding had holes in it, the carpet was a mess, and the curtains were stained. I replaced all of that, but Ned wouldn’t contribute a dime. Aside from being cheap, he never mowed the lawn, raked the leaves or cleaned the garage. He only wanted to fish. I did the maintenance as long as I could, and now we pay someone else to do it. Here’s the current problem: Ned has dementia and doesn’t realize that his kids have control of his money. His kids have told him he can drive to get his mail. Of course, he then drives all over town. He’s been in three accidents already. I saw a lawyer to get my name removed from the car title in case Ned injures someone. I don’t want to be financially or criminally responsible. I don’t know how much more I can take. I spend all my money on the upkeep of the house. What can I do? -- Second Wife Dear Wife: Please notify your police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles that Ned has dementia and should not have a driver’s license. Ned’s doctor can help. When Ned is in an accident, do not repair the car unless you need it yourself. Let his kids fix it, or allow the car to become too damaged to run. Talk to your lawyer about Ned’s will. Does he have a health care power of attorney? Who owns the house? Can you stay there if Ned dies? You need to sort this out and see what your options are. Dear Annie: My mom is in an excellent skilled nursing facility. The staff is great, but they sometimes say things that are
not helpful. Last month, a staff person said, in front of residents and visitors, “Your mom really wants to go to church. She cries about it.” I was embarrassed and said, “Fine.” By Sunday, however, Mom said she didn’t want to go. This is how it is with her for every occasion. When I do convince her to go, she procrastinates and we arrive late. She then falls asleep and later complains that she didn’t have a good time. Part of this is dementia, but it’s also her personality. She has always been a manipulator. What Mom really wants is for me to be with her 24/7. She has even suggested that I sleep on the tiled floor next to her bed. The staff members don’t see this. So, please do not humiliate the adult children. This public berating, no matter how sweetly delivered, leaves my mother unhappier than before. If you need to consult with us, please do so in private. -- Her Daughter Dear Daughter: All such suggestions should be done privately. Please cut this out of your newspaper (or print it from the website) and bring it to the nursing home where the staff can see it. They mean well, but this is not appropriate. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Uneasy About Switching,” who wants to change hairstylists. I am a hairstylist, and I have realized over the years that we can’t possibly please everyone. I have had clients I treasured and thought were “forever clients,” but when I couldn’t accommodate them due to scheduling, surgery, etc., they went to someone else. It hurt my feelings until I realized we don’t “own” anyone. In fact, I, too, have switched who does my hair over the years. But I would appreciate being told why. -- A Hairstylist Who Understands
