House kills bill to increase speed limit on the Broads By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — The House of Representatives yesterday voted to uphold speed limits all across Lake Winnipesaukee by scuttling a Senate bill to raise the limit on the “Broads” to 55 miles per hour. The margin was
an overwhelming 276 to 75. “I was not totally shocked,” said Sandy Helve of the Winnipesaukee Family Alliance for Boating Safety (WinnFABs), the group that has led the campaign for speed limits on the big lake since 2006. “I’m just delighted to see that our
legislators are listening to the people of New Hampshire.” Helve recalled that a year ago the House voted 268 to 79 to make the speed limits — 45 mph. in daylight and 30 mph. after dark — permanent. “Of course the House has changed,” she said, alluding to the eclipse
of the Democratic majority, which favored speed limits, by a Republican majority of nearly three-to-one. Nevertheless, yesterday more than half the Republican members joined every Democrat in the chamber to form the majority. “They made see BrOads page 8

East is East but where do you get a gig around here? By adaM drapcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — East is East, a rock band made up of four local men, seems to be poised for a leap to the next level. All four are in their mid-20s and had been honing their chops since high school. The band
formed in 2008 and has spent the intervening years rehearsing and performing, solidifying their sound in the process and generating enough original material to produce an album, which they hope to release in coming weeks. Audiences seem to be taking notice
of their presence. In 2010, East is East won fourth place in a battle of the bands competition hosted by F Nice Records in Boston. 3,600 people have signed up as “fans” on the band’s ReverbNation site. However, they’ve got a problem: they’re see BaNd page 11

Circumcision ban to appear of S.F. ballot
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A proposal to ban the circumcision of male children in San Francisco has been cleared to appear on the November ballot, setting the stage for the nation’s first public vote on what has long been considered a private family matter. But even in a city with a long-held reputation for pushing boundaries, the measure is drawing heavy fire. Opponents are lining up against it, saying a ban on a religious rite considered sacred by Jews and Muslims is a blatant violation of constitutional rights. Elections officials confirmed Wednesday the initiative had qualified for the ballot with more than 7,700 valid signatures from city residents. Initiatives must have at least 7,168 names to qualify. If the measure passes, circumcision would be prohibited among males under the age of 18. The practice would become a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or up to one year in jail. There would be no religious exemptions. The proposed ban appears to be the first in the country to make it this far, though a larger national debate over see SF page 8

Little boy identified, mother charged with murder BOSTON (AP) — A Texas man says the boy whose body was found on a roadside in Maine is the son of a longtime friend and that he called investigators after seeing a computer-generated photo of the child that had been released by police. Christian von Atzigen of Irving, Texas said he called Maine state police Wednesday after he recognized the boy as Camden Pierce Hughes. The boy is the son of Julianne McCrery, a woman with whom he and his wife have been friends for 15 years. Police have not publicly disclosed the name of the boy, or a woman being held for questioning
in Massachusetts. Von Atzigen said a mutual friend told him that woman was McCrery. The woman was taken into custody at a highway rest stop, where she was found inside a pickup truck registered to McCrery. Late Wednesday night New Hampshire Attorney General Michael A. Delaney said his state announced that his state was charging McCrery with second-degree murder. He said the woman caused the death of her son in Hampton, N.H. on Saturday. She is expected to be arraigned Thursday morning in Concord (Mass.) District Court.
The body of Camden Hughes was found in a wooded area in South Berwick, Maine on Saturday. Efforts to identify the child’s body and a suspicious vehicle seen in the area have been ongoing since Saturday night. On Sunday, Maine’s Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Margaret Greenwald, performed an autopsy on the child and her preliminary findings indicated the cause of death was asphyxiation. He ruled the death a homicide but final a determination is pending further studies. (The Laconia Daily Sun contributed to this report.)
WASHINGTON (AP) — A GOP bid to expand and hasten offshore oil drilling in the face of $4-a-gallon gasoline prices suffered an overwhelming defeat in the Senate on Wednesday, four days after President Barack Obama directed his administration to ramp up U.S. oil production. Five Republicans joined 52 Democrats or independents in rejecting a bill written by Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell to speed up decision-making on drilling per-
mits and force previously scheduled lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and off the Alaska and Virginia coasts. The Obama administration suspended several lease sales after last year’s massive BP oil spill. The bill was supported by 42 Republicans, well short of the 60 needed to advance it. Several GOP senators complained that the bill gave too much ground to the Obama administration, including a provision that would require independent reviews of oil
companies’ plans for responding to major oil spills before they could get drilling permits. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said McConnell’s bill did not go far enough to expand drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico near Florida and off the Pacific coast. He said it also “increases the burdens and requirements and hurdles of even the new Obama regulations that have been put in place since the BP disaster.” see OIL page 15

Report of Schwarzenegger’s extra-marital child spurs wild media frenzy BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — The revelation that Arnold Schwarzenegger has an out-of-wedlock child with a former employee turned into a tabloid frenzy Wednesday as scores of reporters and photographers swarmed a quiet suburban cul-de-sac in the middle of California farm country amid unconfirmed reports it was the home of the child’s mother. The owner of the house, identified in property records as Mildred Patricia Baena, was not at the Bakersfield home when the flash mob arrived, its satellite TV trucks filling her quiet street and spilling onto another one. The media descended after the woman’s name was first reported by Radar Online and subsequently by other news outlets including The New York Times, which cited two unnamed friends of the family. Schwarzenegger’s office declined to discuss whether Baena is the mother of the former governor’s child. Baena’s adult daughter, Jacqueline Rozo, told The Associated Press her mother had worked for Schwarzenegger until recently, but declined to discuss her mother further. The AP has not independently confirmed that Baena is the mother of Schwarzenegger’s child. The scandal exploded into public view after Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver announced last week that they were splitting up after 25 years of marriage. Then came an admission by the former two-term governor that he fathered a child with a
member of the household staff. A photo of the boy posted on Baena’s MySpace page shows a fairly strong resemblance to Schwarzenegger, particularly when the actor-bodybuilderpolitician was younger. “If I saw him or his picture, I would see the resemblance,” next-door neighbor Marilyn Steelman said, adding that she never thought of any connection or resemblance between the boy and former governor after seeing him in the neighborhood. Steelman told The Associated Press that after moving into the neighborhood about a year ago, the family told her the woman worked for Schwarzenegger and was planning to retire soon. Until about 2 1/2 months ago, Steelman said, the woman was rarely home except on weekends, and said she lived during the week in an apartment in the Los Angeles area, 100 miles to the south. Charlene Powers, a real estate agent who represented the seller of the home, said she was told it was being purchased for an employee of Schwarzenegger, and that he was helping her with the down payment. She also said the family took out a Federal Housing Administration loan to purchase the home for $268,000, with a down payment of $219,224. Real estate records at the county assessor’s office make no mention of Schwarzenegger’s name. Steelman said the woman, her husband and 13-year-old son have been fine neighbors. She said the boy often walks his dog, a white
poodle named Sugar, in the neighborhood of fashionable, relatively new homes sporting red-tile roofs and two- and three-car garages. He also plays basketball or swims in his family’s backyard pool. “He’s a wonderful kid. Such a nice young man. He’s respectful of people and property, very courteous. He’s very intelligent. He’s just a kid you want to be around,” she said. The Los Angeles Times, which first reported Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with a longtime family employee, has not named the woman but has said she retired in January after working for the former governor and his family for 20 years. He and his aides have declined to release her name or any details beyond a statement in which he apologized to his wife and four children with her and asked for privacy for his family. Schwarzenegger has said Shriver didn’t learn the child was his until he told her after leaving the governor’s office in January. The birth certificate for the Bakersfield woman’s son shows he was born the same week as Schwarzenegger and Shriver’s youngest son. Shriver, who has not discussed the matter since issuing a brief statement Monday, made a quick walk-on appearance that same day at a taping of one of Oprah Winfrey’s final shows, telling the talk show host she has “given me love, support, wisdom and most of all the truth.” The show is expected to air Tuesday.
HOUSTON (AP) — Doctors repaired Gabrielle Giffords’ skull on Wednesday, the latest milestone in her recovery from an assassination attempt and a procedure that experts say will improve her quality of life. A gunman shot her in the head more than four months ago in Tucson, Ariz., and doctors had to remove a portion of her skull to relieve pressure on her brain. On Wednesday, they put a plastic implant in place to fully cover her brain, according to a statement from TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital. The hospital planned a briefing on Thursday to give an update
on her medical condition and discuss the next steps in her rehabilitation. Giffords is “recovering well after her surgery today,” a hospital statement said. Giffords’ astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, is orbiting Earth on space shuttle Endeavour and is getting updates on her condition, NASA said. Doctors familiar with the procedure and not involved in her care said it was fairly routine, will significantly improve her quality of life and help her feel more normal.
“It’s a very significant milestone in the recovery,” said Dr. Robert Friedlander, chair of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The implant — or bone flap as doctors call it — will protect the brain and the skull, Friedlander said. It will allow Giffords to freely move about without her helmet, adorned with the Arizona state flag, for the first time since she began therapy in late January. In addition, it makes therapy easier because the helmet can be uncomfortable and cumbersome, Friedlander said.

Saltalamacchia’s double in 8th gives Red Sox 1-0 win over Detroit
BOSTON (AP) — Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled off the left field wall in the eighth inning, scoring Carl Crawford from first and giving the Boston Red Sox their fifth straight win, 1-0 over the Detroit Tigers on a rainy Wednesday night. Boston’s Clay Buchholz and Detroit’s Phil Coke each pitched seven shutout innings. Then Daniel Bard, who replaced Buchholz to start the eighth, threw one pitch before the game was delayed for 26 minutes by rain. When play resumed, Bard (1-3) retired the side in order. Ryan Perry set down the first two Red Sox batters in the bottom of the eighth. But Tigers manager Jim Leyland brought in lefty Daniel Schlereth (0-1)
to face lefty Crawford. The move backfired when Crawford walked on a full count. Leyland visited Schlereth on the mound but left him in and Saltalamacchia got his go-ahead hit. Jonathan Papelbon got his eighth save in nine opportunities, striking out the last two batters after Victor Martinez opened the ninth with a double. Detroit lost for just the second time in nine games in a game played in a steady drizzle that got much heavier in the top of the seventh. In spite of that, the starting pitchers were outstanding. Buchholz, who won his previous three starts, struck out seven and allowed four hits and one walk. Coke, who was 0-3 in his previous five starts, had
four strikeouts and gave up three hits and a walk. Buchholz escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, striking out Austin Jackson with his careerhigh 127th pitch on a full count. Jackson tried to hold up his swing and plate umpire Fieldin Culbreth checked with first base umpire Gary Cederstrom, who signaled that Jackson had swung. The right-hander had retired the first batter of the inning then hit Jhonny Peralta with a pitch. Peralta went to second on a single by Alex Avila. Ryan Raburn struck out before Buchholz hit another batter, Brandon Inge, loading the bases. It was Buchholz’s first two hit batsmen of the season. see RED SOX page 10
BELMONT — While Steve Woodbury of Belmont Hardware charges that the police are targeting his customers by ticketing vehicles parked on Gale Street, Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti countered yesterday that the numbers do not support his claim. After reviewing the records, Baiocchetti said that
since 2000 only a dozen vehicles have been ticketed for parking on Gale Street, four of them this year. Earlier this week Woodbury posted a sign on his building warning patrons against parking alongside the store on Gale Street. Baiocchetti said that parking has always been prohib-
ited on the street it because it is very narrow and without shoulders , leaving vehicles no room to park without obstructing the roadway, which is against the rules of the road. Last year the town erected “no parking” signs on either side of the street about 30 yards from its intersection with Main Street to alert motorists.
Belmont police say only 4 parking tickets have been written on Gale St. this year
Photographer calls New Hampshire home after release by Libyan government ROCHESTER (AP) -- The parents of a New Hampshire journalist held for six weeks by the Libyan government joked Wednesday about their strategy to keep their son close for a while once he returns. “We’ve got to plan a big party,” Diane Foley said. “That would keep him out of harm’s way for a little while longer,” John Foley said. The Foleys, exhausted but excited, spoke to reporters a few hours after their son James called to say he and three other western journalists were at a Tripoli hotel. The first thing he said was, “Hey, ma, it’s me. It’s Jim. I’m fine,” Diane Foley said. “He sounded just like Jim ... he sounded great,” she said. “He’s kind of cool about things.” Foley - a correspondent for Boston-based Global Post - fellow American Clare Morgana Gillis, British
freelance reporter Nigel Chandler and Spanish photographer Manuel Varela were expected to be taken early Thursday to the border with Tunisia, where one of Foley’s brothers would be waiting. As relieved as she was Wednesday, Diane Foley said she wouldn’t sleep well until her son crosses into Tunisia. “There’s some angst still until he gets out of Libya,” she said. Though they joked about big parties, the Foleys said they would take their cues from their son when he returns. And they said as much as they’ve missed him, they have respect for and pride in his career. “We’ve seen him grow in his confidence and his skills. It’s been exciting for us in that sense. Obviously, we’d like to tear up his passport, but we’ll have to see, we’ll have to take that from Jim,” she said.
“And someone really needs to have the courage to go out there and see history unfold.” Since their son was captured, the couple have been overwhelmed by the support of their family, their community and government officials who worked on their behalf. They specifically thanked the state’s two U.S. senators, and Gov. John Lynch, who spoke personally to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, about the situation. Neighbors distributed yellow ribbons that have been wrapped around trees and mailboxes throughout the city. And James Foley’s friends around the country also were a huge help, the Foleys said. Several sent Diane Foley Mother’s Day cards. One designed posters, T-shirts and buttons to advocate for his release.

The girl with a politician problem “I didn’t wish to be the girl who had a problem with a politician for the rest of my life.” So said Tristane Banon, in explaining why she didn’t file charges nine years ago against Socialist politician and current International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn. It was her mother, Anne Mansouret, also a Socialist politician, who advised her against it. As Mansouret recounted the conversation, she told her daughter: “Listen, you know, if he had raped you, I wouldn’t have any hesitation, but that wasn’t the case. He sexually assaulted you; there wasn’t any rape per se. So until the end of your life, you’re going to have on your resume, you know, Tristane Banon is the girl who...” I don’t blame Mansouret in the least. Many parents have trouble when their children are sexually assaulted. When I was raped, my mother told me not to tell anyone or no man would have me. I didn’t listen to the first part, but I am sure I internalized the second. When my students or former students come to me asking whether they should file discrimination cases against powerful men who have harassed them or worse, I always tell them — as Mansouret did — that just because they are telling the truth does not mean they won’t be branded as a troublemaker or worse. Fair warning. But I also tell them that if they have the courage to do it (and no one has an obligation to be a hero after they’ve been victimized), they may end up saving the lives or sanity of the women who would come next, to whom he would do the same thing, even if they never know that — even the women, like Banon, who were allegedly assaulted years earlier. There are some men who are only abusive once, or only abusive to one particular woman. But in my experience, that is the exception rather than the rule. Nothing comes out until the first woman speaks up, and then you just wait. Banon is speaking out because a hotel maid in New York City did. Maybe the maid, unlike Banon and her mother, didn’t know how important the man was. Maybe she didn’t care. Maybe she understood something basic that the highly educated big shot didn’t: Just because your job is to clean his room and his is to manage billions does not mean he is one bit better than you. It does not mean he has a right to strip you of your dignity and integrity. It does not mean you are nothing and he is something. This is how so many women feel after being sexually assaulted. Like nothing. Stripped not only of their clothes, but of their self-esteem. We survive. We do our best to recover. But sometimes — like when I find
myself terrified that my daughter is going far away to intern this summer — I wonder if I would have grown up to be a different person, a less anxious and terrified person, if I’d never been raped. I wonder if I would see the world as less hostile and less scary if the alley behind my apartment had not turned out to be the scariest place of all. I wonder what it would have been like to live all these years without my mother’s words echoing in my head. In the early rounds of interviews, there has been much talk of the danger of false reports in rape cases. There are false reports, and it is wrong and indeed criminal. But by every academic estimate, we’re talking about a range of 2-percent to 8-percent — absolutely no different than any other crime. What is different about rape is not that women lie in reporting, but that so many women bury the truth and never do. The system is set up — not just in rape cases but in every case — to screen out false reports. It is not set up to solicit the true ones. Every individual is entitled to the presumption of innocence, including Strauss-Kahn. The danger in rape cases is that false accusations are so difficult to rebut, and a reputation so difficult to reclaim. That’s why the prosecutorial screening process is important. But the greater danger is just how difficult it is to stand up in the true cases. According to the prosecuting attorney, who convinced the judge to hold Strauss-Kahn without bail, the defendant attacked the maid in his room, restrained her, attempted to rape her and ultimately forced her to perform oral sex (which is also rape). She immediately went to hotel officials (he rushed out), and was examined, and forensic evidence was collected that is said to be consistent with her account. “We are in pain. ... She’s a wonderful, hardworking woman,” said her brother. He and her daughter are the only family she has in this country. In the 35 years that I have been studying rape law, I have seen and heard of unimaginable things done to innocent people. Rape victims, overwhelmingly, are vulnerable women — financially and emotionally. But what strikes me most is not the brutality of the men, but the courage of the women. This week, that includes a maid at a fancy hotel in New York who was just trying to do her job.

LETTERS Free Music Festival performance was a stunning experience To the editor, Last Friday evening, my wife and I were privileged to attend a performance by gifted violinist, Adrian Anantawan, who was accompanied by the 2011 Music Festival Director and virtuoso pianist, Benjamin Loeb. Not only was it a stunning musical experience, but it was free — a gift of the New Hampshire Music Festival. During the last several days, in addition to a number of Lakes Region civic group speaking engagements, Anantawan and Loeb have been touring area schools, introducing students to good music and interfacing with these students in a manner aimed at developing rapport between students and musical artists. The enthusiastic feedback has suggested a resounding success. All of this is the prelude (pun intended) to the opening of the 2011 New Hampshire Music Festival season which begins officially on July 7th with the first classical concert at Silver Center for the Arts in Plymouth. This promises to be a momentous season, with what is probably the largest array of musical choices in the 59 year history of the Music Festival. Beginning with six classical concerts offered on Thursday evenings
in Plymouth at Silver Center for the Arts and Friday evenings in Gilford at the Gilford Auditorium, there is also a wonderful three Saturday evening pops series in Plymouth. The Music Festival is composed of outstanding musicians from great symphony orchestras across the nation and abroad as well. For Chamber music lovers, six such presentations will be offered on Tuesday evenings, beginning on July 5th. A brand new program – for those who like the idea of a Sunday afternoon concert with time for dinner afterward and home by dark – Maestro and Friends” will take place on Four Sunday afternoons and will feature special guests performing with Director Benjamin Loeb. If you love living in the beautiful Lakes Region, the Music Festival summer series is truly the “frosting on the cake” for enhancing the best of the New Hampshire experience.

School board didn’t keep promise to post RSA 194-C on website To the editor, In a letter last week, I encouraged readers to go to the Gilford School District’s website and read all the documentation and laws pertaining to the superintendent controversy. At the May 2nd School Board meeting, I was assured that the district would post the entire text of RSA 194c (the relevant law pertaining to this issue). That never happened, I guess the School Board has no interest in having us mere commoners (taxpayers) determining if their actions are legal. Who are we to judge the mighty all-knowing School Board? Since my letter was published last week two thing happened: 1. A petition with nearly 70 signatures was submitted to the district requested a special meeting to discuss only this issue. The School Board cannot legally deny this request. But then again, the law and voters don’t seem to be guid-
2. The districts website has been scrubbed of all the documents related to this issue (the same documents that my letter encouraged taxpayers to read). All that remains is a video of the School Board’s pathetic presentation used to defend their illegal action. So I guess they are only going to allow their side of the story on “their” web site that is paid for by all Gilford taxpayers. The School Board, after pledging to be more open and make more information available to the taxpayers, have changed their mind. Maybe they didn’t like people questioning the accuracy of their own statements, or comparing their actions to what the law actually allows. It seems as though transparency just doesn’t work for them. And they wonder why MANY residents consider this School Board arrogant. Kevin Leandro

Right-to-work without paying union dues Most Granite State citizens take their freedom and liberty seriously, which shouldn’t be surprising since our state’s motto is “Live Free or Die.” Yet each and every month, tens of thousands of Granite State workers are forced to surrender a portion of their paychecks to a union just to have a job and feed their family. And to add insult to injury, the unions turn around and use this forced-dues cash to bankroll causes and politicians that many of these workers who are forced to pay union dues would strongly disagree with. I should know, since the unions mailed negative campaign material against me since I was openly campaigning on passing Right to Work legislation. This is antithetical to the idea of freedom. No American should be forced to pay dues to any private organization as a condition of employment. The good news is, the General Court has the opportunity to right this wrong by overriding Governor Lynch’s recent veto of the New Hampshire Right to Work bill. This bill would simply make it clear that union membership is voluntary — the way any private organization should be — and would prevent Granite State workers from being forced to pay union dues just
to get or keep a job. Not only that, but it would provide a boost to our struggling economy. In fact, airline manufacturer Boeing just opened a plant in that will provide 1,000 jobs in Charleston, South Carolina — where my mother lives — in large part because South Carolina has a Right to Work law. As long as we continue the practice of forced unionism in New Hampshire, we’re going to lose out on many of these job opportunities. Add the freedom and economic benefits of a Right to Work law to the fact that nearly 80-percent of Granite State citizens support Right to Work, and overriding Governor Lynch’s veto should be an easy vote for any politician. I’ve been publicly supporting passage of a Right to Work law during my entire time in the State Senate — and am hopeful that the General Court will override the governor’s veto and free the tens of thousands of Granite State workers from the shackles of compulsory unionism. Make sure to contact your local representative and urge them to do the right thing and over-ride the veto. Let’s live up to our state motto. (Jim Forsythe, a Republican from Strafford, represents District 4, which includes Laconia, in the N.H. Senate.)
You can thank unions for paid overtime, weekends off, etc. To the editor, Hopefully there are many people out there that don’t just listen to what certain people write in and complain about everyday to the editor. Don Ewing leads people to believe in his last letter that unions “force” people to join. That is not true. He also claims that states with “Right to Work” laws are better off. This is false. First of all, “Right to Work” laws are solely the brainchild of Big Business and their millionaire lobbyists. With “right to work” laws, more money goes to the stockholders and the already wealthy CEO’s, while less goes to the employees who are doing the work (in the form of less pay and benefits). Right to work states actually have less stable employment, lower average wages, higher unemployment (this trend started in the southern RED states), lower percentages of workers with health care benefits, and a lower standard of living than
non “Right to Work” states. When looking for a state to open business in, most companies ranked “Right to Work” as very low in their decision. “Right to Work” is a misnomer and actually means “We want to pay you less and treat you like the peon you are, so you can live in a nice little low-income neighborhood”. I am proud to be a union member. I don’t know any union employees who don’t want to be in the union or pay dues. You can thank unions for paid overtime, weekends off, and workplace safety to name a few. These things benefit all employees, union and non-union. And if paying a small due every week means part of it goes to politicians who will fight for all the hard working middleclass and blue collar workers in this country, you can count me in.

We’ve received love & support from every corner of community To the editor, The family of Charles “Chuck” Palm would like to extend its heartfelt and sincere gratitude for the loving tribute that was given to Chuck this past Sunday. Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for all the time, effort and thoughtfulness that went into his “Celebration of Life” ceremony. Although he would never have expected such an outpouring of affec-
tion and regard, he would have been very humbled by it. Our family would also like to acknowledge the tremendous demonstration of love and support that we have received from every corner of this wonderful community. We truly embrace it, value it and will always treasure it. The Palm Family Meredith
Why does Mr. Cracraft spread falsehoods about our Constitution? To the editor, I usually don’t respond to E. Scott Cracraft but his recent letter to the editor goes beyond ignorance. He claims to be a “history buff” but he clearly has his facts wrong. I don’t know if it is just an exaggeration and he is trying to make himself important or if he is just misleading everyone intentionally. This letter states “The constitution does not provide for rebellion against the national government.” I am wondering which constitution he is speaking of. The N.H. constitution in Part First – Bill of Rights, Article 10 is titled Right of Revolution. It says “Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.” He states the recent support of the 11 state representatives for a bill that would, as he puts it “nullify or disregard federal law or policy” as “ironic, amusing, sad, and scary.” He tries to equate this measure to the Civil War when the issue he is trying to speak against is about states rights and the limitations on the federal government. Somehow in his mind the issue of states rights is the same as secession from the union. He couldn’t be more wrong. Though secession is not specifically spelled out in the U.S. Constitution it is covered by the Declaration of Independence, where it states “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them to another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal status to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” This sounds like Article 10 of the N.H. Constitution. The writers of the Declaration of Independence are speaking of secession from a form of government that exercises “arbitrary power.” Some states carried in their ratification ordinances a clause to allow them to withdraw from the union and go their separate ways. This was a carry-over from the Articles of Confederation and it was considered to be a legal act by the states to secede from the union prior to the secession
of the southern states in 1860 – 61. In fact the six New England states threatened to secede three time prior to the Civil War, going so far as to send a delegation to Hartford, CT in 1814 because they did not approve of the War of 1812. Mr. Cracraft speaks in his letter about the 10th amendment to the Constitution. Once again he has his information wrong. He states “while the constitution’s tenth amendment does “reserve” certain functions to the states, it does not say that federal and state functions do not change and evolve over time.” Where to begin? The 10th amendment clearly states “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”, which by no means “reserves certain functions to the states.” This amendment is very clear in saying that the Federal Government has limitations on its powers to only those 18 enumerated powers granted in the Constitution and the states have certain powers removed from their control, which are contained in Article 4 of the Constitution. Those powers not delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the states and the people. I really wonder what reason he could possibly provide for spreading false statements and hoping nobody catches the lies he is telling. Is he saying that the Constitution is such an old document that the meaning or original intent changes with time and we can’t believe what it says anymore? Is this truly his extreme liberal point of view? The Federal Government has a history of overstepping it’s constitutional limitations, with the most recent being the health care legislation. What the New Hampshire state government is saying with this bill is that the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution is alive and well and that New Hampshire will disregard any unconstitutional laws passed in Washington D.C.. I fully support that, as I am sure the majority of New Hampshire citizens do. I get the feeling that E. Scott Cracraft feels that we should do away with the N.H. Legislature since the federal legislature writes our laws for us anyway. I feel that the representatives we elected to the N.H. Legislature should be applauded for standing up for the rights of our state and it’s citizens against any and all unconstitutional legislation coming out of Washington D.C. and that we will hold our federal representatives accountable for these actions.

BROADS from page one a major, major statement,” Helve said. “A bipartisan statement in favor of speed limits.” Of the 18 representatives from Belknap County, all Republicans, 14 voted with the majority, leaving only Guy Comtois of Barnstead, Bob Greemore of Meredith and Robert Malone of Alton in favor of the bill. Frank Tilton of Laconia was absent. In March, the bill carried the Senate by the narrowest of margins, 13 to 11, with Senator Jim Forsythe (R-Strafford), one of three senators representing municipalities bordering the lake, voting in favor. Senators Jeannie Forrester (R-Meredith) and Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) voted no. Helve attributed the result to the overwhelming
popular support for applying the speed limits to the entire lake, stressing that seven of eight of those who spoke at committee hearings opposed exempting the Broads. Moreover, she said that a number of business owners, including several marina operators, also backed the current limits. “I expected a closer vote,” said Scott Verdonck, president of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire (SBONH), who originally hoped to replace speed limits with a standard of “reasonable and prudent” then agreed to designate the Broads as a 55 mph. zone as a compromise. “I was expecting perhaps to lose but not by that big a vote.” He said that the House Republican Alliance, the most conservative wing of the GOP caucus, expressed support for the
bill and the strong libertarian contingent took it as a “freedom and liberty issue.” In a prepared statement, Verdonck traced the defeat of what he called “this common sense compromise” to “lies and fabricated stories,” remarking that one speaker in the floor debate asked who would pay for buoys to mark the Broads as a separate speed zone, even though the buoys are already in place. Later he said that “the speed limit was never about speed, but about creating an environment to rid the lake of performance boats.” He predicted that many boat owners would leave the lake, with adverse economic impacts on marine, restaurant and hospitality businesses. Speaker of the House Bill O’Brien, after bidding unsuccessfully to stack the House Transportation Committee in favor of the bill, not only declined to rally the GOP caucus in its support but even handed the gavel to Deputy Speaker Gene Chandler, who presided over the debate. Verdonck described renewing the effort to relax or repeal the speed limits as “a possibility” than said “this will end up coming up again in the future.” SF from page 2 the health benefits of circumcision has been going on for many years. Banning circumcision would almost certainly prompt a flurry of legal challenges alleging violations of the First Amendment’s guarantee of the freedom to exercise one’s religious beliefs. Supporters of the ban say male circumcision is a form of genital mutilation that is unnecessary, extremely painful and even dangerous. They say parents should not be able to force the decision on their young child. “Parents are really guardians, and guardians have to do what’s in the best interest of the child. It’s his body. It’s his choice,” said Lloyd Schofield, the measure’s lead proponent and a longtime San Francisco resident. He added the cutting away of the foreskin from the penis is a more invasive medical procedure than many new parents or childless individuals realize. But opponents say such claims are alarmingly misleading, and call the proposal a clear violation of constitutionally protected religious freedoms. “For a city that’s renowned for being progressive and openminded, to even have to consider such an intolerant proposition ... it sets a dangerous precedent for all cities and states,” said Rabbi Gil

LETTERS Mr. Earle & others are unable to see through the obvious lies To the editor, So, Mr. Earle would like facts; well, these facts would force him to rethink his entire life up to this point, and I’m sure he won’t, considering that he’s unable to use simple logic; it isn’t easy to do so with so many conflicting stories bombarding us by the second. I don’t want to waste too much time and energy, but I will say that on 9-11-01 three buildings collapsed; Tower #1, #2, and #7. Surely, if you can remember specific physics lessons, you can recall the day when Tower #7 fell. Oh, I know, small isolated fires can weaken an entire skyscraper and bring it down perfectly in controlled demolition fashion. Maybe some of the jet fuel splashed onto Tower #7 and that is why it collapsed. Or maybe the rulers of this planet needed an event such as this to kick of this century in which we were all supposed to hand over our privacy and freedoms so as to ensure that we are all kept cowering and pointing fingers at non threats. Mr. Earle, you must love your servitude. Most of that jet fuel burned off on impact, so there’s that. But, let me repeat myself; after all, you, the brainwashed, need the repetition to understand anything. Tower #7 was not hit by any plane . . . it collapsed. That leads one, with reasoning capabilities, to conclude that this was nothing but a giant spectacle to bring the world to it’s knees. Now we have the Department of Homeland Security monitoring every word spoken, written, typed, texted, and soon, thought. This entire department, by the way, was created prior to 9-11. It waited for that fateful day it knew would come, and then, whammo, the president, the commander (the front man) tells us how it’s going to be. He tells Congress not to read the bill creating the totalitarian measures now in place because that would be unpatriotic; just vote yes. Not that they would do otherwise; the whole lot of them are all in
on the fleecing of the American public. That’s you and me folks, despite what party you think you belong to. There is one party. The one body that the left wing and right wing belong to, hidden behind the shield. I’m wasting my time on you, Steve, I know. Hitler said that the bigger the lie, the more likely the masses will believe it. That wasn’t his own, personal doctrine. It is a technique that the elite have been using for ages. Here in the states we still have civil war between self proclaimed Democrats and Republicans; it’s a carnival of madness when you see that the power that is passed between the two parties through the years is nothing but the science of control. We are utterly enslaved by this system of cruel politicians and their armies and police and bureaucratic employees, making life a living hell for most of the world’s population. I’m certain that the likes of Mr. Earle and others like himself are unable to see through lies which are so obvious to those of us with a natural gift for thinking. It’s as if all of the years of propaganda has worked so perfectly. But, the Earles always ask a great question: “why would they do that?”, albeit, it’s always in a mocking tone. But they never want to listen to your answers, do they? The truth is very hard to take. I suppose that some of you think, because I am outspoken on this issue, that that makes me wacky. That’s not what makes me wacky; ask anybody who knows me. Living amongst sleepwalking hedonists, who would rather zone out in front of the idiot box than take part in this one life they’ve been given is but one part in the cause of my wackiness. I don’t believe in Elvis’ ghost; if he were alive, I still wouldn’t believe in him. Maybe Mr. Earle is the one who is whacked. I am sure plenty of readers would agree with me there.

LETTERS The ACLU has always represented the best in American ideals To the editor, New Hampshire Republican Representative Harry Accornero’s recent venomous attack on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was not only vicious, it was inaccurate. He called the organization “evil” and “anti-American.” He even implied that the ACLU is part of a “conspiracy’ that works “from within” as a “fifth column” to undermine America. His letter was full of right-wing rhetoric and vitriol but had little to back up his allegations. Why does Mr. Accornero think the ACLU is so “unAmerican?” I would like it if he gave us some real evidence to defend his charges against the organization. For nearly a century, the ACLU has represented the very best in “American” ideals, namely, respect for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and equal opportunity under the law. I can think of nothing more “American” than standing up for our civil rights and liberties. The ACLU has been in the forefront of defending First Amendment rights to free expression in speech, assembly, and the media. The organization has defended liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, and everything else. While he may not know it, the ACLU’s work has included defending the First Amendment rights of people with opinions similar to his own. The ACLU has defended the rights of people running the entire political spectrum, from left to right. The ACLU has also, through its litigation, expanded our due process rights, namely, our right to a fair trial. What is so “anti-American” about that? It has also defended our right to privacy. In addition, the ACLU has stood in the forefront of defending racial and ethnic equality in America. It has also stood up for the rights of women, gays, and lesbians. Is this “evil” or “antiAmerican?’ Moreover, the ACLU has also done a great deal toward defending our
First Amendment rights concerning religion. The Constitution gives three rights concerning religion. One, in the body of the Constitution, provides that there can be no “religious test” for holding public office. In other words, even if President Obama were a Muslim (which he is not) as many tea partiers and “birthers” say, it would not matter. If one is duly elected, there is no religious requirement for holding office. Period. The other two “religious rights” guaranteed in our Constitution are in the First Amendment. The “Establishment Clause” of the First Amendment mandates that government cannot establish, fund, or promote any particular religion. The “free exercise” clause guarantees that people can believe in what they want to when it comes to religion. Both principals have served our American Republic well. Many conservatives accuse the ACLU of “taking God out of the public schools.” As though anyone can control the movements of God! What the ACLU did was oppose mandated prayer in public schools. This means prayers and other religious exercises promoted by the school, and ultimately, by the state. It does not mean that students do not have the right to pray or express their beliefs. The ACLU has consistently defended these rights. It may come as a surprise to Mr. Accornero, but the ACLU has also defended the rights of students and teachers to wear religious emblems and to otherwise express their religion. I am reminded of a Virginia case where a school tried to prevent Christian students from posting the Ten Commandments in their wall lockers and the ACLU defended their right to do so. Mr. Accornero should let us know why he thinks the American Civil Liberties Union is so “evil” and “antiAmerican.” E. Scott Cracraft Gilford
We used to try & keep communists from polluting young minds
NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE LAW 561-FN 415: 18-U now requires NH insurances to pay up to $3,000.00 for hearing aids!
To the editor, I read Tuesday’s story about Plymouth State University naming Leo Sandy a “Distinguished Graduate Teacher” and can’t help but think how things have changed since America’s glory days. Not too long ago, an America-hating communist like Sandy would have been unable to find a job. Communism, the “Red Menace”, was recognized as the greatest threat to the American way of life. We saw what communist regimes did to their own people. We saw how that incentivedraining system led to societal decay and poverty in every instance. And
we saw how capitalism and freedom had led to America being the greatest, most prosperous, most generous, most humanitarian, and most powerful society in the history of mankind. We did everything we could to keep communism from destroying that, and to keep those who would espouse such evil from gaining audience and polluting the naive minds of our children. Today, we subject our kids to hours of brainwashing at the hands of such evilthinkers and we name them “Distinguished Graduate Teachers”. Go figure. Ed Chase Meredith
RED SOX from page 5 Then he fanned Jackson after several foul balls. Through six innings, each team managed just three hits. For Detroit, all three were doubles — by Miguel Cabrera in the fourth, Avila in the fifth and Jackson in the sixth. Jackson moved to third on a
sacrifice, but Buchholz retired the next two batters. Boston got a one-out single by Dustin Pedroia in the first and a leadoff single by Kevin Youkilis in the second, but both were out when the next batter hit into a double play. Jed Lowrie singled with two outs in the fifth and didn’t move up.
Lawmaker seeks to dedicate Meredith bridge to POW/MIA effort MEREDITH — Representative Bob Greemore (R-Meredith) told the Board of Selectmen this week that he intends to file legislation to name the steel span carrying Route 3 over the railroad tracks and Bayshore Drive the “POW/MIA Vigil and Freedom Ride Bridge.” Greemore said that he is taking the initiative at the request of Bob Jones, the Navy corpsman and Vietnam veteran who began the weekly vigil at the POW/MIA Memorial at Hesky Park, which this year will mark its 23rd anniversary. On the evening of June 16, during the 88th running of Laconia Motorcycle Week, the 18th annual POW/MIA Freedom
Ride will assemble at Winnipesaukee Crossing in Gilford at 5 p.m. and depart promptly at 6 pm. for Hesky Park where the vigil will be held at 7 p.m. In 2008, Governor John Lynch and the Executive Council adopted a resolution designating the stone and flagpole in the park as New Hampshire’s original POW/MIA Memorial. Greemore, whose father was a prisoner of war and uncle was shot down over France during World War II, said that the POW/MIA cause has special significance for him. — Michael Kitch
from preceding page from Laconia. Trying to make a living as an original rock band in Laconia, they’re finding, is about as reasonable as trying to run a snowplow business in Austin, Texas. Due to a dearth of venues, East is East finds it challenging to play in their home city. Instead, they travel to Portland, Vermont, Boston and mostly Manchester to find audiences. During the winter, East is East plays at the Margate Resort about once per month. That’s the one regular local venue they’ve found, and it’s a venue closed to them during the tourist season. “The Lakes Region has always been hard,” said guitarist Jonas Sabatini. When he and fellow bandmates Andy Mallett, Abe Hughes and Alex Vaughn were cutting their musical teeth, local rock bands would rent the Wicwas Grange Hall in Meredith Center and put on shows. However, that’s now a practice of the past. Last year, East is East tried playing a gig at the Gunstock Inn in Gilford, but had their set cut short when athletes trying to rest for the Timberman Triathlon complained to management. A little more than a year ago, East is East participated in a four-band lineup at the Belknap Mill. The show was promoted by The Planet 100.1 FM radio station and was, according both to the band and to John Moriarty, executive director of the Mill, a success. However, East is East hasn’t been able to negotiate a return to that venue. As Moriarty explained, “I think both the Belknap Mill and many performing ensembles find it difficult to make the business model work.” The Planet-promoted show, one of its “Local Outbreak” events was possible, according to Moriarty, because there was a sharing of risk between the promoter and the venue. In most cases, he said, performances function the same as a room rental – the performer books and pays for the function hall and hopes to sell enough tickets to turn a profit. While the band members understand Moriarty’s need to protect his venue’s interests, to them such arrangements sound dangerously close to the “pay to play” schemes that are increasingly confronting bands such as East is East – those with potential and ambition but not yet with a fan base that will
reliably sell-out venues. In “pay to play” schemes, bands may have to agree to buy a certain number of tickets themselves if not enough are sold at the door. Like a light in the void, their one local gig on the schedule is one of their biggest of the year. On July 28, East is East will play on Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavillion’s “Second Stage” while Mountain Goats and headliner Bright Eyes perform on the main stage. This is the second time the band has played at Meadowbrook; last year they were included on a bill that was topped by The Offspring and Sum 41. “Now is the hardest time ever, even five years ago was better,” said Sabatini. “However, I will say there is potential.” “It’s a Catch-22 situation,” said Hughes. They have to play the gigs to win the fans, but if few fans show up to a “pay to play” situation the gigs could be a financial debacle. East is East won’t travel to outof-town gigs now unless they’re at least guaranteed gas money. “If you’re in an original band, it’s really tough to make a profit,” said Hughes. “It’s really easy to make money playing other people’s stuff,” said Mallett. Showing their business sense, East is East exploited this truism, using their repertoire of covers to book profitable gigs at colleges, weddings and private events. Proceeds from the cover gigs paid for the band’s rehearsal space in Gilford and the recording and production of their album, titled “Provenance,” which was recorded mostly at Rockinghorse Studios in Pittsfield. East is East would like to throw a CD release party sometime in June, but so far is unable to find a local venue for the event. Once it’s out, though, they feel it could be their ticket to the next stage of their career. They’ll have merchandise to sell when they wow clubs in Boston, a calling card which fans will take with them to remind them of the existence of a power pop quartet from Laconia. “Now that we’ll have an album we can push, that we have a product,” said Abe, the band will see if they’ve got what it takes to attract better paying gigs, perhaps even management and a record company. Whether or not they can do that in Laconia remains to be seen.

CONCORD — The Senate Capital Budget Committee this week recommended $86.7-million worth of capital expenditures for the 2012-2013 biennium, including funding for renovation of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center in Laconia, construction of a building at Lakes Region Community College in Laconia and improvements to the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program. With some exceptions, the recommendations of the committee closely track the capital budget earlier prepared by the House Public Works and Highways Committee and subsequently endorsed by the full House. Like the House, the Senate committee allotted $7.125-million for the Huot Center, along with $7.875-million for a similar project at Pinkerton Academy in Derry. Early in the process Representative Frank Tilton (R-Laconia), a member of the Public Works and Highways Committee, arranged with Senator Jim Rausch (R-Derry), a member of the Senate Capital Budget Committee, to pair the two projects on the understanding that both or neither would be funded. Likewise, the Senate committee followed the House in directing $18.815-million to the Community College System, for building projects, of which $6.4-million is earmarked for construction of a health and science building at Lakes Region Community College. The facility would likely be built as an extension to the new academic building and house the physical and biological sciences along with the nursing program. The Senate committee also endorsed the House’s decision to allocate $3.9-million to the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program for capital improvements,
funding that will ultimately be recouped from the sewer rates charged to ratepayers in the ten member municipalities. Finally, the Senate capital budget includes $300,000 for roof repairs to buildings on the campus of the former Lakes Region (prison) Facility on North Main Street and an equal amount for an environmental assessment of the 212-acre tract. Meanwhile, the Senate Finance Committee is weighing the future of the site in light of the provision in House Bill 2, the companion to the House budget, ordering the sale of the property. At the suggestion of City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who chaired a commission convened by the Legislature to study how the site could be redeveloped, the City Council agreed to explore the prospects of acquiring some or all of the land. When he broached the subject with the Senate Finance Committee, its chairman, Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), welcomed the proposal after learning that in order to sell the property the state would have to spend more than $500,000 on legal, appraisal and marketing services as well as the environmental assessment. Calling the site “a money pit,” Morse considered transferring the property to the city a preferable alternative and indicated that if an arrangement could be reached, he would seek to withdraw the funding for the roof repairs and environmental assessment from the capital budget. Morse proposed a meeting with city officials and Governor John Lynch, who also proposed selling the site in his budget address, to discuss the future of the property. However, after two false starts, the meeting has yet to take place. Meanwhile, the City Council commissioned Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research to appraise the property and expects his report next month.
Forrester plans to testify today for limits to eminent domain CONCORD — State Senator Jeanie Forrester (RMeredith) said yesterday that she will be one of the first people to testify at a hearing regarding legislation that will strengthen private property rights in eminent domain cases. On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear public comments on HB-648, a bill with large implications for the proposed Northern Pass Project. Forrester, a Northern Pass opponent, explained that HB-648 came as a result of the serious concerns people have voiced regarding the utility’s plans to run electric transmission lines through pristine areas of the North Country and take private land to make the project a reality. “I am proud to co-sponsor HB-648 because it will send a strong message that taking property through
eminent domain will not be an option for private developers like Northern Pass,” she said. “This legislation will specifically prohibit private developers from using eminent domain to seize private land for the construction of a power transmission facility.” Forrester added, “I have expressed concerns over this project since its inception. Most importantly, the very notion that a private company can be allowed to take a person’s land for a private construction project runs contrary to the personal liberties we maintain such deep respect for here in New Hampshire. But HB-648’s reach will go way beyond Northern Pass. It will provide protections to land owners all across the state who find themselves in a similar situation in the future.”

JOBS from page one at 2010 Town Meeting that would eliminate the need for people at the transfer station to separate different materials. The Budget Committee chose to lower the salary line because a majority of its members felt the move to single-stream — where items like paper and aluminum don’t have to be separated — was adopted to reduce the employee costs at the transfer station. The Selectboard’s budget included $13,000 more in the salary line because the regional single-stream recycling facility in Penacook is not yet operating and the board felt the additional money in the salary line was prudent until it was. According to N.H. State Law, unless specifically amended at town meeting the Budget Committee’s budget is the one voted and adopted at annual town meeting. “Everyone was consumed with the library budget,” said Wayne Lescault referring back to the nearly 45 minute long, often heated discussion about a $2,500 addition to the Sanbornton Town Library. “Didn’t selectmen promise to discuss this (at the Town Meeting)?” Selectmen’s Chair Dave Nickerson said there were no promises made but said all of the then selectmen — Karen Ober has since taken over for Andrew Livernois — said they were willing to have the debate brought to Town Meeting — but nobody brought
it to the floor. “We were prepared if it was brought up on the floor,” Nickerson said. Nickerson also added the selectmen’s budget must be reconciled to meet the adopted Budget Committee number despite its member’s individual preferences. “It’s not a lot of money,” Nickerson said but he steadfastly refused to make anybody any promises. Earlier yesterday, Town Administrator Bob Veloski said the decision about how to remove $13,000 from the transfer station budget will likely come in two parts. Initially, he said, Thayer is gathering information to learn how much money it would cost or save the town to convert to single-stream and then haul the material to another location. As it stands now, the town subcontracts the trash removal and the hauling company pays the tipping fee and keeps the revenue generated from the recyclables. After single-stream recycling, the town pays less in tipping fees because there is less general trash and tries to offset more of its costs by using the recyclables as revenue. Many larger communities — including Laconia and Franklin — have already converted to single-stream recycling because the volume generated is enough to cover transportation costs. Sanbornton is a much smaller community, said Veloski, and the costs to haul the recyclables may not be offset by the revenue from the recyclables, see next page

Members of Laconia Academy Class of 2011 have own stories to tell but there are common themes By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Three lives, three stories and three diplomas. For Thomas Guerin of Glford, Tanya Millette of Belmont and Renee Kelley of Sanbornton the road that took them back to class to earn their high school diplomas was as different as each of their lives. Each is about to graduate from Laconia Academy -— the Adult Education Program that serves the city and helps Lakes Region residents earn their high school diplomas. Guerin is a maintenace specialist or sexton with the Gilford Community Church. At 43, he’s worked full-time for all of his adult life, is married and has two adult children. “I guess a high school diploma is something I always wanted to do,” he said. “Nowadays everyone needs a diploma.” Guerin said he was three credits shy of graduating when a shift in guidance counselors at his high school coupled with some confusion over how many classes he actually needed, led him to quit school in frustration. Tanya Millette first came to Laconia Adult Education to get some information for her son who was one credit shy of his graduation. Nine credits shy of a diploma, she admitted she hadn’t liked high school much and when she took the GED pre-test she found the mathematics portion “horrendous” so she dropped out. “I never gave it a second thought,” she said, adding she married at 19 and began raising her children. When her youngest was 2-years-old, she began taking classes at Project Second Start — Concord’s version of the Adult Education Program — and for three or four years worked on her reading and mathematics skills. But it wasn’t until she came with her son to from preceding page especially with the recent rise in gasoline and diesel costs, but as of yesterday he said the complete financial picture was not available. After the town determines if it makes sense to haul before Penacook is up and running, then Selectmen’s must make a choice as to the future of the transfer station’s employees relative to the number of hours the station will be open weekly. “Well, when can I come back,” Lescault asked. Nickerson said he expects all of Thayer’s information will be ready by next week and the topic will be on next week’s selectmen’s agenda.
arrange for his lost credit that she found her trigger point. “It was here. In this office,” she said looking at Adult Education Director Peggy Selig’s closet-sized space with the walls plastered with photographs of her adult graduates. “I simply said aloud that I would love to go back to school and get my diploma,” Millette recalled. When Selig told her there was not reason why she couldn’t and that the adult ed department would work with her regarding the financial portion, she said she just started to cry. Selig recalled the moment. “It was very emotional. We all started crying,” she said. Millette said she was shaking when she came to pick up her books but, thanks to some very dedicated teachers — specifically Middle School math teacher Virgina Bean who she referred to as a “miracle worker.” “She made math fun and make sense,” said Millette now 41. For 18-year-old Kelley, high school was “just too much drama.” “I hated it,”’ she said noting a large, public school wasn’t for her. see next page MEREDITH PLANNING BOARD NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Tuesday, May 24, 2011 – 7:00 pm Community Ctr., Room B, 1 Circle Dr. Application Submissions: 1.

Laconia vets encouraged to participate in Memorial Day parade LACONIA — Don Doherty, commander of VFW Post 1670, is calling on all his fellow veterans to make a strong show of force on Memorial Day by joining the annual parade along Main Street and ceremony at Veteran’s Square. “We are hoping all our veterans who served in World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and in Iraq and Afghanistan will participate in this year’s parade,” Doherty said. from preceding page She said her parents had tried everything with her — online classes, home schooling but nothing seemed to interest her. Kelley and her parents were beginning to look at other school districts when she discovered the Laconia Adult Education program and was able to complete the 13 credits in two years. “I loved it,” she said. “The adult program gave school back to me.” She said she thrived in the small classes largely attended by adults and was no longer distracted by sometimes pettiness of high school and all the nonsense. The future is bright for all three. While Guerin said he’s probably not going to pursue a college education, he said the pride he feels and the support he’s gotten from his family is reward enough. “They’ll all be at the graduation,” he said. Things are already happening for Millette who, upon gaining enough credits for graduation (all three finished their course work in December) she was immediately promoted and given a raise. Not only that, Millette said she has a new appreciation of mathematics — a subject she feared and loathed as a youth — and a genuine interest in history. “I would read the books ahead of time,” she said reflecting on her history books. While not in her immediate future, Millette said she may consider some additional classes at one of the area community colleges — perhaps in history or English. “I accomplished what I set out to do,” she said Kelley is off to study pharmaceutical science at Lakes Region Community College. Enthusiastic about education for the first time in her young life, she said she plans on finishing a two-year course initially and attending a four-year pharmacy school. “I read all of the time,” Kelley said. “I work and I’m finally being a teenager.” “These three people can do anything they want to do,” said Selig. Graduation is Friday, May 27 at 6 p.m. at the Laconia High School. U.S. First District Congressman Frank Giunta (R-Manchester) is the commencement speaker.

Doherty said that several vintage cars have been commandeered for the event and local dealers are expected to volunteer more vehicles. “We will have rides for anyone who prefers not to march the parade route,” Doherty said. He asked those wanting to book a ride to contact him at 524-3291 so that enough vehicles will be on hand. Doherty said that veterans planning to ride in the parade should muster at the parking lot of the VFW on Court Street by 9:30 am on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30 when the vehicles will be loaded. All others should assemble at 9:30 am. at Garfield Street (Wyatt Park) prior to the start of the parade at 10 a.m. “We are hoping for a large turn out,” Doherty said. — Michael Kitch OIL from page one Vitter and fellow Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat, also complained that the bill wouldn’t direct royalties from offshore drilling to states where drilling occurs. After the House passed similar legislation last week, Obama on Saturday directed the Interior Department to extend existing leases in the Gulf and off Alaska’s coast and hold more frequent lease sales in a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska. Both parties say that despite the BP spill, they want to allow responsible oil and gas drilling off the U.S. mainland and in Alaska. But they criticize each other’s approach.

‘Old Man of the Mountain, Symbol and Substance’ to open Gilmanton Historical Society summer series May 24 GILMANTON IRON WORKS — “Old Man of the Mountain, Symbol and Substance” will be the opening program of the Gilmanton Historical Society’s summer 2011 series at the Old Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24. Maggie Stier’s presentation will include images of paintings, literary passages, souvenirs, and film clip interviews with those closest to the Old Man. The program will conclude with a discussion of current efforts to memorialize the state symbol. The story of the Old Man of the Mountain is a story of New Hampshire itself, reflecting the Granite State’s history, arts, literature, geog-
raphy, philosophy, and even public policy. As the multi-faceted story of this icon unfolds, the audience will be challenged to think about the different and evolving ways that this image has touched the public imagination over its 200 year history. Stier holds an undergraduate degree from Vassar College in American Studies and graduate degrees from Boston University in American and New England Studies and Antioch New England University in Education. For more information about the summer series, pick up a copy of the flier at the Academy or call President John Dickey at 267-6098.
Bald Eagle Nest Tours and Loon Cruises on Squam Lake begin May 24
HOLDERNESS — The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is once again augmenting its daily tours of Squam Lake with special lake tours focusing specifically on the pair of Bald Eagles that nest on a small island in the northern section of the lake. The eagle tours will be offered every Tuesday at 3 p.m. beginning May 24. Visitors can join Science Center Director Iain MacLeod to learn about these eagles and the recent nesting recovery in the state. The tour lasts 90 minutes and pre-booking is required. It will run through June 28. The Bald Eagle nest on Squam was first occupied in 2003 and has produced a total of twelve eaglets, including two last year. This year the pair once again has young eaglets in the nest and the tours will allow close viewing of the youngsters while not disturbing the eagles. These eagle tours are part of an extensive schedule of lake tours offered by the Science Center through the summer and fall. The Science Center offers one daily Explore Squam Lake Cruises at 1 p.m. through June 30, then three daily cruises from July 1 — October 16 at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. with additional Nature of the Lakes Cruises at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in July and August. Also this summer, the Science Center is offering a special Loon Cruise at 3 p.m. each Friday from
June 17 — August 19. On those tours, the Science Center staff will be joined by a biologist from the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) who will guide the tour and discuss the work LPC is doing across the state and on Squam Lake to protect these very special birds. The route of the Loon Cruise will be chosen to maximize Loon observations. The regular Explore Squam tour shares the wonders of the area where the Oscar-winning “On Golden Pond” was filmed. Participants will hear a bit of Squam’s human history through stories of those who have enjoyed this area for more than 5,000 years, from Native Americans to modern moviemakers. All the Explore Squam and Nature of the Lake tours also include viewing of Loons and Bald Eagles. Binoculars are available. Science Center Lake Cruises depart from the dock on Route 3 at the bridge next to Walter’s Basin Restaurant in downtown Holderness. Cruise passes are $22 for non-member adults, $20 for members; $20 for non-member seniors, $18 for members; and $18 for non-member youth (ages 3 — 15), $16 for members. Children age 2 and under are free. Discounted Trail/ Cruise combo passes are available. For more details about events, admission fees, upcoming programs, lake cruises, and membership visit www.nhnature.org or call 968-7194.

By Holiday Mathis tions come from everywhere. You are extra-sensitive and will process your feelings and express them in a way that others can understand. You are a kind of translator. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will get some practice in the art of wasting time. Have fun with this and be guilt-free. Without all the messing and joking around, nothing intelligent will be accomplished. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You perceive and understand what another person is going through, even though this one is trying very hard to “act normal.” Maybe you’re able to do this because you’ve been there yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Mistakes were made -- that much is clear. You will see the brighter side of the situation because you believe life gets better as we learn from our past follies and grow beyond them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your soul needs expression. You’re still looking into the ways and methods available to you to do this. Investigate your creative and musical talent. You will experience, listen and appreciate art on a new level. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 19). You’ll enjoy friends and new experiences in the next five weeks. June features an emotional commitment and, at month’s end, a windfall. Bond with family in July -- you succeed through united efforts. In September, you will benefit from a scientific advance. A stroke of luck will transform your home environment in November. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 9, 2, 26 and 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A secret communication may bring a thrill. It will be exciting to know something that others do not. You’ll likely sit with the information a long time as you mull over what to do with it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The network you have built around you makes you stronger. You’ll exercise the full potential of your material and nonmaterial resources. You’ll use your connections and put your talents to work. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Over time, you will make a substantial contribution to the world community. This happens in small daily increments. You have special luck in foreign trade or in working through legal matters. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Extremes of thinking will bring you to the most interesting ideas. This can also break you free of futile thought patterns. Dare to be an intellectual outsider. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You and a loved one may have different ambitions, but you are equally passionate about them. It is this high level of drive that brings you together in mutual support and admiration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll have luck in matters of publicity, publishing and politics. People see the best in you and also attribute glowing qualities to you that you have yet to develop. You’ll be idolized. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those who always feel the need to talk are the worst listeners. Your ego isn’t as big as some of those around you, and therefore, you will be the best listener. You will understand the circumstances completely. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Emo-

(The treaty entered into force in Oct. 1967.) On this date: In 1536, Anne Boleyn, the second wife of England’s King Henry VIII, was beheaded after being convicted of adultery. In 1780, a mysterious darkness enveloped much of New England and part of Canada in the early afternoon. In 1909, the Ballets Russes (Russian Ballets), under the direction of Sergei Diaghilev, debuted in Paris. In 1921, Congress passed, and President Warren G. Harding signed, the Emergency Quota Act, which established national quotas for immigrants. In 1935, T.E. Lawrence, also known as “Lawrence of Arabia,” died in Dorset, England six days after being injured in a motorcycle crash. In 1943, in an address to the U.S. Congress, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill pledged his country’s full support in the fight against Japan. In 1962, during a Democratic fundraiser at New York’s Madison Square Garden, actress Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday to You” to guest-of-honor President John F. Kennedy. In 1964, the State Department disclosed that 40 hidden microphones had been found in the U.S. embassy in Moscow. In 1971, poet Ogden Nash, known for his humorous light verses, died in Baltimore at age 68. In 1994, former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died in New York at age 64. One year ago: President Barack Obama condemned Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigration and pushed instead for a federal fix he said the nation could embrace, showing solidarity with his guest of honor, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona’s law discriminatory. Today’s Birthdays: PBS newscaster Jim Lehrer is 77. TV personality David Hartman is 76. Actor James Fox is 72. Actress Nancy Kwan is 72. Author-director Nora Ephron is 70. Actor Peter Mayhew is 67. Rock singercomposer Pete Townshend (The Who) is 66. Concert pianist David Helfgott is 64. Rock singer-musician Dusty Hill (ZZ Top) is 62. Singer-actress Grace Jones is 59.

League of NH Craftsmen to feature jewelry and pottery by new artists MEREDITH — The League of NH Craftsmen Retail Gallery is featuring the work of two newly juried members of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen — potter Stephanie Young of Plaistow and jewelry maker Stephanie Robinson of Alton Bay. Young creates hand-carved Porcelain pottery inspired by mathematical elements found in nature and geometric Art Nouveau design elements. “As a child, I had always wanted to be a scientist, so scientific curiosity is a vital part of my work,” said the artist. “To create my designs, I study the species around me in depth, sketching and sculpting them. I then carve images of these bits of nature onto the surface of wheel-thrown porcelain forms. Each unique carved porcelain is a balanced composition of art, science, and history.” Young also teaches ceramics at the Harvard University Ceramics Program, teen programs at the Maud Morgan Center for the Arts (Cambridge, MA), and teen and adult programs at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (Lincoln, MA).
Robinson was born in New Hampshire, but spent much of her childhood in Texas and then Rhode Island. She started making beaded necklaces when she was 12 and sold them to her classmates and family. When she was 15, she moved to Ireland with her family. In college, she began a degree program in software development, but soon realized that she really just wanted to make jewelry. She spent one year in Dublin and one year in Cardiff, Wales preparing her portfolio to apply to a silversmithing and jewelry program at the London Metropolitan University in England. After graduating from that program, Stephanie moved to Alton Bay, to start her own jewelry business. Robinson’s ideas for her jewelry start with linear pencil drawings. “From these drawings, I create pieces of sterling silver wire which become wearable art. All of my jewelry is lightweight, with clean, architectural lines.” For more information, call the Meredith Retail Gallery at 279-7920, e-mail nhcraft@metrocast.net, or visit www.nhcrafts.org.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 19, 2011— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have been trying to teach my 20-year-old daughter the value of saving money and staying within a budget. Meanwhile, my parents give her money every time she asks. I am newly divorced and feel it is important for my daughter to learn to live within her means. I have had several conversations with my parents about this, but it hasn’t made any difference. I am concerned that if they do not stop enabling my daughter’s profligacy, her future will be ruined and she will be dependent on others for the rest of her life. I want her to be able to support herself. My parents taught me this when I was small, and I can stretch the almighty dollar very far. I wouldn’t be where I am now if I hadn’t learned this, and I want the same for my child. At the moment, I am not speaking to my parents. I don’t know how else to make them see how much they are hurting their granddaughter. Maybe if they see this in print, it will sink in. -- Undermined in Lewiston, N.Y. Dear Lewiston: Probably not. Grandparents have been known to indulge their grandchildren, but overdoing it is a form of selfishness. It makes the givers feel good, so they continue, even if the consequences are damaging. How much bailing out is going on? If your daughter is behind with her bills and your parents are helping to support her, they are enabling. This largesse won’t last forever. However, if your parents give her money because she occasionally wants something special that she can’t afford, we’d leave it alone. Your daughter recognizes those purchases as gifts and doesn’t count on them to pay the rent. Dear Annie: My daughter recently passed away after a lengthy illness. We are blessed to have had lots of support from friends and family, but I am bothered by the lack of response from her doctor.
We have had the same physician for 17 years. I understand that he and his colleagues and office staff might not have been able to come to the funeral, but is it too much to ask for a condolence card? Is there some medical ethic that prohibits this? It will be difficult to go into his office for my next visit. I don’t want to stop seeing a competent doctor, but this situation has me very upset. -- Crying in California Dear Crying: It used to be a fairly common practice for doctors to send a condolence card when a patient died, but this is no longer the case, and we don’t know exactly why. Unfortunately, the lack of a personal touch can give the impression that the patient was unimportant, and this is quite hurtful to the family. It might help you be more forgiving if you clear the air and tell the doctor how you feel. It might help him, too. Dear Annie: Although I agree with your answer to “Worried Stepmom” regarding the equal distribution of the annual cash gifts, there is a channel Dad can take to help 33-year-old “Clark” from simply waiting for the money. For a minimal fee, an attorney can draw up stipulations for how and when the money can be used. I have three sons. Two are driven, motivated and have direction in their lives. Our third has always fought depression and, like Clark, would rather watch TV and surf the Internet all day, with no care about his future. Our directives indicate that the receivers of any inheritance continue their education to at least a four-year degree in any field and be employed. (An exception is made if he loses his job.) It could also stipulate mental health assistance, because a 33-year-old does not hang around his parents’ home with no direction unless he is depressed or mentally incapable. -Living It in Louisville
