River herring begin trip from Laconia to the sea; hopefully they’ll be back A crowd of people who had been fishing and relaxing at the state’s boat launch and docks on the Winnipesaukee River in Laconia on Thursday put down their poles to watch as about 4,000 adult river herring were released into the water. The herring had been transported from the Androscoggin River in Brunswick, Maine. The project to stock the waterway with herring is a project involving Fish & Game and the federal Fish & Wildlife Service, aims to release 25,000 river herring into the Winnipesaukee River this spring in an attempt to restore the species to the waterway. Adult herring will swim to the Atlantic River, where they will live for several years before heading back upstream to spawn. River herring eat plankton and are a prey fish for bass and rainbow trout.

Man’s defibrillator stops knife during attack
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A man’s implanted heart defibrillator may have saved his life in an unexpected way — by stopping a knife. San Diego police say the 57-year-old got into an argument with an acquaintance early Thursday near some elevators at the trolley station for the Fashion Valley shopping mall. Police say the acquaintance pulled a folding knife and stabbed the man in the chest. The knife hit the man’s defibrillator, a device that shocks the heart if it gets dangerously out of rhythm. Police say the man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. His name hasn’t been released. Authorities arrested 60-year-old Richard Kiley at another trolley station on suspicion of attempted murder.

Investors ‘like’ Facebook on day 1 but they don’t ‘love’ it NEW YORK (AP) — It was barely a “like” and definitely not a “love” from Facebook investors as the online social network’s stock failed to live up to the hype in its trading debut Friday. One of the most anticipated IPOs in Wall Street history ended on a flat note, with Facebook’s stock closing at $38.23, up 23 cents from Thursday night’s pricing. That meant the company founded in 2004 in a Harvard dorm room has a market value of about $105 billion, more
than Amazon.com, McDonald’s and Silicon Valley icons Hewlett-Packard and Cisco. It also gave 28-year-old CEO Mark Zuckerberg a stake worth $19,252,698,725.50. “Going public is an important milestone in our history,” Zuckerberg said before he pushed a button that rang Nasdaq’s opening bell from company headquarters at 1 Hacker Way in Menlo Park, Calif. “But here’s the thing: Our mission isn’t to be a public company. Our mission is to make the world more open and connected.”
But for many seeking a big first-day pop in Facebook’s share price, the increase of six-tenths of one percent was a letdown. “This is like kissing your sister,” said John Fitzgibbon, founder of IPO Scoop, a research firm. “With all the drumbeats and hype, I don’t think there’ll be barroom bragging tonight.” Added Nick Einhorn, an analyst with IPO advisory firm Renaissance Capital: “It wasn’t quite as exciting as it could have see FACEBOOK page 5
Young Georgia woman learns toll flesh-eating bacteria has taken ATLANTA (AP) — Faced with the prospect of losing both hands and her one remaining foot, a young Georgia woman battling to survive a case of flesh-eating bacteria that has already claimed one leg mouthed the words “Let’s do this.” Aimee Copeland, 24, “shed no tears, she never batted an eyelash,” her father, Andy Copeland, wrote on Facebook on Friday about the conversation he and his wife had with their daughter the day before.
“I was crying because I am a proud father of an incredibly courageous young lady,” Copeland wrote. It was not immediately clear Friday whether the surgeries had already been performed. A hospital spokeswoman referred questions to the father’s online post. The story of Copeland’s battle to survive has inspired an outpouring of support from around the world. The University of West Georgia student developed a rare
condition called necrotizing fasciitis after suffering a deep cut in her leg in a May 1 fall from a homemade zip line over the Little Tallapoosa River. She has been hospitalized in critical condition at an Augusta hospital, battling kidney failure and other organ damage. She had been on a breathing tube until recently, when doctors performed a tracheotomy, her father said. see BACTERIA page 11
Mountain on evidence only seems to add uncertainty to Trayvon Martin case ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors in the Trayvon Martin case dumped a mountain of evidence on the public this week.

to knowing exactly how and why neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot and killed the 17-year-old in the black hoodie. So many aspects of the Feb. 26 altercation and shooting in Sanford remain muddy. Who threw the first punch? Why
did Zimmerman leave his car? This cache of recordings, photos and statements is far from all the evidence. But it suggests there are answers we may never truly get. “I can’t comment on, you know, what see TRAYVON page 12

Romney points to Hillsborough N.H.’s ‘Bridge to Former N.H. trooper awarded $1.5M in court; Nowhere’ as a symbol of Obama administration waste superior officers held him against his will
CONCORD (AP) — A former New Hampshire state trooper who accused superior officers of holding him against his will has been awarded $1.5 million in damages. A jury on Friday ruled that James Conrad was falsely imprisoned by superior officers after a 2007 altercation. Conrad arrested following the scuffle. He sued, saying the conduct by his superiors cost him his job and dignity. He was fired for misusing his authority during domestic disputes with his then-wife and getting into the altercation when confronted by superiors. He was acquitted of the charges. WMUR-TV reports that Conrad said superior officers wouldn’t let him leave the building or talk to a lawyer. State police said he was a danger to himself, so they held him until he could be taken to the state psychiatric hospital.
HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney on Friday criticized a restored 19th century bridge as another “Bridge to Nowhere” and a fresh symbol of the waste he says is rampant in President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan. From the parking lot of a Ford dealership, Romney pointed to the nearby stone bridge that straddles the Contoocook River and called it a boondoggle. The town of Hillsborough received $150,000 in federal stimulus money to repair the Sawyer Bridge as part of a new park project designed to put people to work installing new benches, lights and visitor parking. Those additions have not happened. “This is the absolute Bridge to Nowhere if there ever was one. That’s your stimulus dollars at work. A bridge that goes nowhere,” Romney said.
The so-called Bridge to Nowhere rose to prominence as a symbol of wasteful Washington spending. Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, who died in a plane crash in 2010, set aside funding for a bridge to a remote island that local officials didn’t really want. It was eventually nixed and resulted in overhaul to the earmarking, or funding lawmakers’ pet projects. Indeed, the freshly repaired bridge with its new concrete surface and black iron pedestrian rails stops just as it reaches the other side. The road it once served has shifted a few hundred feet and a replacement bridge connects the two sides of the central New Hampshire town. Hillsborough’s application for money from Obama’s $800 billion stimulus program claimed the new bridge would be the centerpiece of a park for see BRIDGE page 12
‘Robin Hood’ rally in Chicago turns ugly
CHICAGO (AP) — Hundreds of protesters broke away from a large rally and began marching through Chicago streets Friday, taunting police and shouting about everything from bank bailouts to nuclear power — a prelude to even bigger demonstrations expected after the start of a NATO summit. Police said there was one arrest for aggravated battery of a police officer. Officers were also seen trying to arrest a man who scaled a bridge tower and pulled down part of a NATO banner. Earlier, police handcuffed a man at the end of a noisy but largely peaceful rally organized by the nation’s largest nurses union. Members of National Nurses United were joined by members of the Occupy movement, unions and veterans at the rally, where they demanded a “Robin Hood” tax on banks’ financial transactions. The event drew several thousand people and featured a performance by former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, an activist who has played at many Occupy events. Deb Holmes, a nurse at a hospital in Worcester, Mass., said she was advocating for the tax but also protesting proposals to cut back nurses’ pensions. “We’ve worked 30 years for them and don’t want to get rid of them,” she said. The rally —originally scheduled to coincide with the start of the G-8 economic summit before that meeting was moved from Chicago to Camp David — drew a broad spectrum of causes, from anti-war activists to Occupy protesters and Cathy Christeller’s nonprofit Chicago Women’s AIDS project. Christeller, the agency’s executive director, said there is common ground among all protesters, even against the backdrop of the NATO summit. “The whole ... idea we should slash the (social) safety net instituted here and in Europe — it’s a disaster,” she said. “It ignores the source of the economic downturn, and it’s making people suffer unnecessarily. This brings us together.” After the rally, a group planned to protest environmental damage by marching to BP, Exelon Energy and the Canadian consulate to deliver a “cease-anddesist” letter. But those plans were scrapped when a much larger group of protesters started marching and chanting spontaneously, said Craig Rouskey, an activist with Occupy San Francisco and Rising Tide, an environmental group. He said he abandoned the march because it “got hijacked” by protesters who lacked a clear message “It became less about environmentalism and more about taking the streets,” he said. “That is important, but I just like a more succinct message.”

Bankruptcy judge agrees that many FRM Ponzi scheme victims were lenders, not investors, but ruling comes too late to help many By ElizaBEth Dinan PORTSMOUTH HERALD
KITTERY POINT, Maine — With a single ruling, a bankruptcy judge vindicated victims of the state’s largest Ponzi scheme, paved the way for some settlement agreements, and according to former securities regulator Mark Connolly, agreed with him and others that “the government screwed up.” The ruling by Judge J. Michael Deasy was in response to a bankruptcy case involving victims of the Financial Resources Management company of Meredith, which turned millionaires into welfare recipients, triggered two suicides, lost life savings, and sent two men to prison. The judge agreed with FRM victims, and the state Bureau of Securities Regulation, that the victims were mortgage lenders, not investors, and that their money was not commingled with other FRM accounts, but was banked in a trust for specific borrowers. “Justice is seeing the light of day here, it really is,” said Charles Chandler, an attorney and former state representative who presided over an FRM hearing in 2010 and reached the same conclusion as Deasy. Chandler said he heard testimony from more than 60 FRM victims, from the Ponzi scheme perpetrators, from regulators and from “people who should have regulated and didn’t.” He said he’s unsure how much money was lost by FRM’s “criminal activity that cloaked itself in sophistication,” but estimates it was $50-million to $55-million. “It’s nice to see the positions of people who were victimized by FRM in some sense validated,” he said. “These people weren’t naive. The sophistication of this crime was fairly high-level.” Portsmouth native Carvel Tefft was a N.H. Bureau Of Securities Regulation (BSR) securities regulator who was the first to examine FRM’s books and declared the Ponzi was “easy to spot.” After “two and
a half years of hard slugging,” he said, the bankruptcy judge’s decision “is a way to tie a bow around the whole matter.” “The (securities) bureau was made to look like we were the principal regulators and that the bureau failed in its duty,” he said. “This decision shows we did not have jurisdiction over these particular transactions. It’s become apparent that the conclusions drawn early on were political rather than real — for political protection.” Connolly resigned as BSR director in 2009 for what he said was the government’s failure to act on numerous warning signs about the Ponzi scheme, and its failure to release all FRM records. Author of a book about the FRM crimes, “Cover-Up, One Man’s Pursuit of the Truth Amid the Government’s Failure to End a Ponzi Scheme,” Connolly said there were 77 violations of state and federal law reported to the state’s Banking Department and several criminal complaints filed with the attorney general’s office, years before the Ponzi was revealed. Attorney Bertrand Zalinsky won the recent bankruptcy case on behalf of a married couple who funded multiple mortgage loans through FRM, and, like others, became financial victims. As a result of Deasy’s decision, they’ll retain their loans, with the exception of one, which will stay with a bankruptcy trustee, Zalinsky said. “To the folks who settled before, there’s no unwinding what happened,” he said. That includes Susan and Al McIlvene of Kittery Point, Maine, two of 500 people defrauded by FRM. Eleven days after FRM closed its doors, the state put the company into involuntary bankruptcy and the McIlvenes were told by the attorney general’s office that their money was commingled, so “the only thing to do was to negotiate and plead for mercy,” Al said. “It was truly a second victimization,” he said.
The couple lost $850,000 in the Ponzi scheme and eventually settled for $155,000 from the trustee of FRM’s bankruptcy estate. Had they not settled before Deasy’s recent bankruptcy ruling, Al said, he and his wife would have recovered more of their loans. “People settled because it was less expensive than hiring lawyers to fight the bankruptcy trustee,” he said. His wife added, “This never should’ve gone into bankruptcy because the bankruptcy estate didn’t own the mortgages.” Zalinsky said when the state put FRM victims into involuntary bankruptcy, it meant the real estate their loans went toward was no longer theirs. They were told their money was commingled in a service account and didn’t go where they were told it went, he elaborated. “The bankruptcy trustee said that because the lenders couldn’t trace their funds to the borrowers, it was fraudulent conveyance,” he said. But Deasy’s recent ruling finds the loans weren’t fraudulent conveyances and the lenders’ money went into specific trusts, for specific borrowers. “The judge corroborated what we already knew,” said BSR attorney Eric Forcier. “Now real estate law takes over, as should’ve happened in the first place,” Tefft said. Zalinsky said the bankruptcy decision has allowed for some settlement agreements with victims. It does not have a precedential effect, he added, meaning it pertains only to specific details of the specific case. “But what is there is very instructional,” he said. “Obviously, people will be studying the decision.” Tefft said, “As important to me, is this is the first time we can move away from the political drama so we can move on to what needs to be done.” see next page

FACEBOOK from page 2 been. But I don’t think we should view it as a failure.” Indeed, the small jump in price could be seen as an indication that Facebook and the investment banks that arranged the IPO priced the stock in an appropriate range. It was also good for ordinary investors, who are mostly shut out from the IPO price and have to buy the stock in the open market on day one. They got a chance to buy all day at a price not much above $38. And it was good for early investors in the company, who owned more than half the 421 million shares made available in the IPO. Had the stock shot to $60 Friday morning, those early investors would have felt they hadn’t gotten enough money for their stakes. The 421 million shares that were sold fetched $16 billion and represented 15 percent of the company’s stock. Facebook got $7 billion, and the early investors $9 billion. The other 85 percent of Facebook’s stock is owned by Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives, employees and from preceding page The political drama is described by Connolly in his book as “government inaction,” followed by “a government cover-up, a whitewash of facts.” Conflicts of interest, finger-pointing, hidden documents and political selfinterests killed all efforts to learn how the scheme was allowed to fester and nothing has changed to prevent it from happening again, he said. “It will remain a tragedy long after the politicians and legislators have forgotten about it,” Chandler said. “It’s easy, if you’re not a victim, to forget about it, and unfortunately, that could be the reality.” Secretary of State Bill Gardner said he called Chandler about presiding over the FRM hearing and heard reports back that not one victim was “without teardrops.” “They came for the American dream,” Gardner said. “Charlie Chandler did not get paid, except for mileage reimbursement. His goal was that he didn’t want one person to be able to say they didn’t have the chance to

Here was Facebook’s “timeline” Friday, trading under the symbol “FB” on the Nasdaq Stock Market: The stock opened at 11:30 a.m. at $42.05, but soon dipped to $38.01. It briefly traded as high as $45 and by noon was at $40.40. It fluttered throughout the afternoon and hugged the $38 mark for much of the final hour, before closing at $38.23. By the end of the day, about 570 million shares had changed hands, a huge trading volume for any company. TD Ameritrade reported that in the first 45 minutes of trading, Facebook accounted for a record 24 percent of trades executed by its customers. By comparison, on its first day back on the stock market, in November 2010, General Motors represented 7 percent of trades on the online brokerage.

Any funds beyond costs, he said, “will be gifted to investor education.” He’s spent the past two months speaking to civic groups, including Rotary clubs, to talk about the FRM Ponzi scheme “in a larger light.” “FRM is symptomatic of a larger problem in New Hampshire,” he said. “There’s too much special-interest control, inadequate consumer protection, too much outsized influence by lobbyists and deficient regulation in Concord. I talk about how New Hampshire needs smart regulation, not necessarily new regulation, as well as regulators who will actually regulate.” FRM principal Scott Farah is serving a 15-year federal prison sentence and his codefendant Donald Dodge was sentenced to 6½ years.

Obama’s always with his friends Is it panic time at Obama headquarters in Chicago? You might get that impression from watching events — and the polls — over the past few weeks. In matchups against Mitt Romney, the president is leading by only 47 to 45-percent in the realclearpolitics. com average of recent polls. A CBS/ New York Times panelback poll, in which interviewers call back respondents to a previous survey, showed Romney leading 46 to 43 percent — and leading among women. That’s despite the Democrats’ charge that Republicans are waging a “war on women” by opposing requirements that all health insurance policies provide free contraceptives. Evidently that’s not the only issue on the minds of American women. Or consider the clumsiness of Obama’s announcement a week ago that after “evolving” he is now in favor of same-sex marriage. This was clearly not rolled out according to some long-term plan. On Sunday, May 6, Joe Biden told “Meet the Press” that he was “absolutely comfortable” with same-sex marriage. On Monday, press secretary Jay Carney was so battered with questions about the issue that he cancelled the daily press briefing for Tuesday. Then, at a hastily arranged interview with ABC News on Wednesday, Obama announced his switch. As a supporter of same-sex marriage, I am glad that Obama took the step that Dick Cheney took several years ago. Like many Americans, he changed his mind at some point and supported a policy that almost no one backed a quartercentury ago. Recent polls report that about half of Americans now back same-sex marriage. True, voters in North Carolina on Tuesday voted to ban samesex marriage by a 61 to 39-percent margin. But only a few years ago, any political pro would have been astonished to see the issue get 39-percent support in a state where 44-percent of voters are white evangelical Protestants. And some same-sex marriage supporters may be grumbling that even more would have done so if Obama had made his announcement one day before the vote rather than one day after. Obama was facing a tough political choice on the issue. He needs two groups of voters who often don’t turn out in large numbers to do so this fall: blacks and young voters. Young Americans tend to favor same-sex marriage by wide mar-
gins. Black Americans have tended to oppose it by wide margins (though not as wide this month in North Carolina, it seems, as in California in 2008, where 70-percent voted against it). By saying he was still against same-sex marriage but was “evolving” on the issue, Obama sought to avoid riling black voters while giving a wink to young voters hinting he shared their view. He was in the position of the old-time pol who said, “Some of my friends are for the bill, and some of my friends are against the bill, and I’m always with my friends.” Particularly the friends with money. The Washington Post reported that one of out six Obama “bundlers,” people who bring in large amounts of campaign dollars, identify themselves as gay. Probably not all of them consider same-sex marriage a toppriority issue. But many undoubtedly do, and Obama has surely heard from them at the fundraisers he so frequently attends. On another issue, Obama sided with rich liberal contributors by blocking construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to bring Canadian oil to the United States. He did so even though energy is a big issue and large majorities of voters favor the pipeline. On same-sex marriage, the political calculation is closer. For one thing, it’s a low-priority issue for most voters. I think Obama’s switch will help him significantly with young voters. And he has been doing conference calls with black ministers to mollify them in the hope they’ll turn out their followers despite his stand. But Gallup reports that 26-percent of voters say they’re less likely to vote for him because of this issue, exactly twice the 13-percent who say they’re more likely to do so. And the CBS/New York Times panelback showed 67-percent saying he made his decision “mostly for political reasons,” while only 24-percent say he did so “mostly because he thinks it is right.” That’s a harshly negative result. It suggests that most voters see the president, on this issue at least, as opportunistic rather than sincere. That’s good reason for panic.

LETTERS The Franklin Animal Shelter needs everyone’s help to say open To the editor, I am a 17 year old Franklin resident I have volunteered at the Franklin Animal Shelter for the past three years. I started off volunteering for community service hours for school. I continued to volunteer at the shelter because I realized that the shelter, the animals, and the people in it made a huge impact on my life in the first three months I started to volunteer here. The Franklin Animal Shelter is being forced to shut down due to lack of funds. The shelter has had many success stories for animals that were given up on by everyone else. One example is a five year old border collie mix named “Gunther”. He was left at the shelter in the pouring rain — left for dead. Most shelters would of put him down but they took him in and gave him a fresh start. “Gunther” had open wounds all of his body and smelled because of his skin infection. He had food allergies and flea allergies. They took the time to figure out what the food allergy was and it was meat. They knew it would be a long road to recovery but they did not give up faith. It took the shelter staff six to seven months to nurse him back to health. When “Gunther” finally gained all his health back the shelter found him a home that would make him happy for the rest of his life.
Another example is with a six week old white pit-bull named “Casper”. “Casper” was tied up to the Franklin Dam and abandoned for death as well. An elderly couple brought him to the shelter to make sure no one was missing him and to give him a home if he did not have one. No one called on “Casper”. He had food aggression in the beginning and they worked with him until he was adoptable. He was adopted to a wonderful family that is continuing to work with him. There are numerous stories that have happened at the shelter and the shelter staff helps them no matter what. The Franklin Animal Shelter has taken in animals for free because their owners could not offered the surrender fee. The shelter is a “no kill” shelter and they run on donations and the support from the City of Franklin, which is being terminated. The shelter needs everyone’s help to make the doors stay open. It has helped the community and the animals so much and they will continue to help everyone if they stay open. Please help keep the Franklin Animal Shelter open. For my information you can contact the Franklin Animal Shelter at gsalfranklin@yahoo.com or call at 603934-4132. Alexis Caldwell Franklin
School bullying episode offers insight into Romney’s character To the editor, The recent story of Romney’s bullying a boy in high school matters, even if it happened long ago, because it’s relevant to what he believes today — that there are people who count, and people who don’t. And that tells us a lot about his character. Romney laughed off the bullying story in a radio interview as a harmless prank. But he is still following the practices of a bully today, supporting those who have been lucky enough to make it to the top and letting the less fortunate take the hits. Let’s look at how his character developed over the years. In his business career, Romney and his partners bought up struggling companies, accumulated debt, slashed benefits, and fired staff. When the companies went bankrupt, the remaining work-
ers were left without jobs, pensions, or health care — while the wealthy partners walked away with millions. When our most recent recession was at its worst, Romney supported the bailout of his Wall Street pals, but he wanted to “let Detroit go bankrupt,” which would have cost the jobs of over one million autoworkers. In his current policy positions, Romney favors the wealthy 1-percent of people like himself over the 99-percent of the rest of us. He wants to cut taxes for the rich and actually raise them for the poorest 20-percent of taxpayers. If we look closely at such “I’ve got mine” attitudes, we have to question whether those are the values America needs in a president who is going to create an economy built to last, with a strong, secure middle class.

LETTERS President Obama has doubled down on job-killing programs To the editor, Does Jon Hoyt, Bridgewater, use a car? Telephone? Cell phone? Computer? Food from non-local farms? Television? Modern medicines? Has he ever bought anything via the Internet? Or at a Staples, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Hannaford, Walmart, Target, McDonald’s, Burger King, or hundreds of other chain stores? If so, he is a job destroyer! He takes food out of the mouths of workers and puts them out on the street. He doesn’t care about their children, their elderly parents, or their disabled relatives. He doesn’t care if they starve, can’t afford health care, or freeze in the winter. I don’t malign Jon Hoyt for using modern conveniences, he maligns himself. Job destruction is the consequence of his actions, the same things for which he criticizes Mitt Romney, Bain Capital, and, essentially, free enterprise (which has provided more wealth and a better living for more people than any other system). Business owners don’t want to close their businesses. They have invested time and money in their businesses and in their employees, and they want to make money from them. The real people responsible for business closures are customers, or rather the lack of customers. When too many people buy one product rather than another, the company creating the other product is forced to provide a better product or it won’t be able to pay employee wages and benefits, taxes and fees, utilities, insurance, rent, interest on loans, and other things needed to conduct the business. Sometimes, when companies are on the verge of going out of business, venture capital companies like Bain Capital step in and offer money and expertise in an attempt to turn the business around. This new investment usually avoids or reduces employee layoffs, at least temporarily. Sometimes the failing business cannot be saved, jobs are lost, and the venture capital company loses some or all of its investment. Sometimes the business is saved and the venture capital company is rewarded for saving the business which saves jobs.
In a free enterprise system, customers decide, with their purchases, which businesses grow and which fail. Companies compete or fail. For most of our history, it was easier to start a business here than anywhere else. So, people kept creating or growing businesses creating new jobs, replacing losses from failed businesses, and a growing economy. Unfortunately our governments have created so many barriers to starting a business that it is easier to start businesses elsewhere than here; this is bad for our country’s security, economic growth, jobs, and the wealth of our people. President Obama has doubled down on liberal policies that have been killing American jobs for about 50 years. His labor, environmental, regulatory, tax, Obamacare, and many other policies not only make it harder to start or grow a business, they force some businesses to close and send many investment dollars out of the country. Jon Hoyt applauds Obama for his work as a community organizer. What did he accomplish? Did he get everyone signed up for welfare? Food stamps? Housing assistance? Mortgages that they could not afford? For more than three years we have endured President Obama’s policies, leadership by the best and the brightest from Ivy League schools, and theories from people who never ran a business. However, despite their glowing promises, they have given us high unemployment, the loss of millions of jobs, hardships for millions of American workers and their families, and an immoral and disaster-promising debt. President Obama’s forte is destroying jobs and opportunities for American workers. We don’t want a president good at getting people on welfare. We want a president who does the opposite of what President Obama does, a president who creates the conditions that free our people to develop new ideas, new businesses, new jobs, more wealth for themselves and their employees, and, as a result, more freedom for our people and more security for our country.

We can’t live in an antiseptic world; it will kill us; it is killing us To the editor, What you or I do today will make no difference whatsoever to the other six billion people populating the earth. But in Brazil on June 20-22, more than 100 heads of state will be attending a conference and what they will do will make a difference to what we will be doing thereafter. Or so they intend. Rio+20 Conference is real and their intentions are serious. They only a lack a real military force and an unrestrained funding source. Thomas Woodrow Wilson, our 28th president, sent our young men to the conflict in Europe for the sole reason to gain leverage in forming the League of Nations with the European nations. He was the leader of the last centuries progressive movement, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after WWI and implemented a segregation policy in Washington D.C. We are on the home stretch and our attention is being drawn to every where but where it should be. I had reminded that a standing policy is “to never let the opportunity for a crisis go to waste” and we have seen so many put to good use. We are from preceding page Barack Obama to support the middle class, because of his record and because his own values are rooted there. Romney’s economics might work for financial bullies, but they would be a disaster for average people here in Laconia. If we want to make our
being corralled, individual and business, to make the sacrifice of our time and money to that good cause, that cause which town, city, county, state and federal monies (nearly $6-trillion) can’t seem to be enough to cover. We all have the pleasures which we enjoy — sports, recreation, good fellowship — and I’d not suggest any withdraw from any. We share more than we know in that time. There has been a quiet line of research (not secret) in the works over the last 10 years and it, not pink slime, is what should be in the news. Martin J. Blaser and many others have sought and found what microorganisms live with and aid us in living. If more to-be mothers knew how important holding the baby is, those carriers would be thrown away, fathers as well as all the family and everyone in the ballpark. We can’t live in an antiseptic world, it will kill us, it is killing us. Plan ahead for that illegal nonUSDA approved turkey burrito; it may just make you healthier and happier. G.W.

Regional sewer consortium charts course for improvements to system; Laconia’s share of debt service going from $264k to $524K in 2013 By Michael Kitch FRANKLIN — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) announced this week that the Advisory Board of the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP), consisting of representatives of the member municipalities, unanimously adopted a comprehensive 10-year capital improvement program, the first since the stateowned sewer system serving the Lakes Region was established in 1972. The program, which includes the cities of Laconia and Franklin and towns of Belmont, Center Harbor, Gilford, Meredith, Moultonborough, Northfield, Sanbornton and Tilton, was created to improve and safeguard water quality throughout the Winnipesaukee River watershed. With some 65 miles of piping,14 major pump stations and a water treatment plant, the WRBP processes more than six-million gallons of sewage from some 14,500 sewer connections a day. The WRBP’s annual operating budget of about $5-million as well as all debt service for capital projects are funded by the local sewer rates of the 10 municipalities. Two years ago the municipalities balked when Sharon McMillin, administrator of the WRBP, proposed what she called a “wish list” of improvements to the collection system and treatment plant estimated to cost between $81.3-million and $101.5-million, which would have triggered steep increases in local sewer rates. In March, DES and the municipalities entered a memorandum of understanding affording the municipalities, through the Advisory Board, a greater role in the operation of the WRB, particularly in framing recommendations for capital
improvements. The capital improvement plan is thew work of a sub-committee of the Advisory Board chaired by Brian Sullivan of Franklin and including Dan Leonard of Meredith, Sheldon Morgan of Gilford and Ray Korber of KV Partners, working with McMillin and Superintendent Steve Dolloff. The sub-committee reviewed capital expenditures of more than $50,000 required to be undertaken within the next decade. The Advisory Committee recommends investing $2,409,600, of which $1,381,100 would be applied to the treatment plant and $928,500 to the collection system. The expenditures include $578,500 for a flow metering and rate study, which the Advisory Board approved earlier this year. The study will be funded by a revolving loan fund administered by the state. Another $300,000 would be funded by the WRBP’s sinking fund, collected from the member municipalities based on five-percent of the Beginning in replacement cost of the program’s depreciable assets. The balance, some $1.5-million, will be funded through the annual operating and maintenance budget born by the ratepayers. The plan does not include borrowing in the form of the sale of general obligation bonds. However, the outstanding debt of the WRBP currently approaches $15-million, of which $10.6-million represents the cost of the ultra-violet disinfection system and dewatering system. Beginning in fiscal year 2013, when principal and interest payments for the ultra-violet system come due, the annual debt service will nearly double to $1.3-million. Since Laconia, which as the largest municipality with the most sewer connections, bears 40.55-percent of debt service, its annual payment will rise from $264,500 to $524,000.
SUPERINTENDENTS from page one school districts when the superintendent’s position becomes vacant. “These days there’s a critical shortage of top-flight superintendents to choose from,” says Ted Comstock, executive director of the New Hampshire School Boards Association which helps school districts recruit superintendents. And compounding matters is that many of the superintendents currently serving in the state are approaching retirement age. Like Comstock, Dr. Christie Sweeney, coordinator of the Education Leadership Program at Plymouth State University, is concerned just how hard it will be for school districts to fill those vacancies with first-rate talent. These days it seems in the field of educational leadership it’s becoming a seller’s market. “We haven’t seen a drop in the number of students (enrolling in PSU’s leadership courses), but we’d like to see an increase given the number of (superintendent) openings we’re expecting,” Sweeney explained. The challenge which school districts are facing is amply illustrated by the recent experience in the Shaker Regional School District. Only seven applied for Shaker superintendent position while in the past 25 applicants could be expected, according to the district’s interim Superintendent Tom Haley. By the time the search process had been narrowed there were just four semifinalists for the School Board to interview, from which the board chose two finalists. And then one withdrew from the hiring process and the other was dropped from consideration amid a financial probe in the district he headed. Comstock said all the responsibility coupled with salaries that are lower compared to those of similar responsibility in the private sector are two factors that make the superintendent’s job less appealing. Perpetually changing technologies, a proliferation of state and federal regulations, and an avalanche of pressure-packed factors — like changing community demographics, school board member turnover, conflicts between board members and citizens, or
school boards and other elected local bodies such as city councils — have dramatically changed the role of the superintendent. “It’s hard to serve so many masters,” observed Judie Reever, a member of the Laconia School Board for 18 years, and who has also served on the state Board of Education, chaired the School Boards Association, and chaired the House Education Committee when she was in the Legislature. Comstock said that superintendents must spend a great deal of time dealing with the intricate regulations and other bureaucratic elements of special education and the No Child Left Behind program under which standardized test scores determine whether a school is teaching its students well. He said that in the last five years it has become increasingly important for school districts to do vigorous recruiting. “They have to employ every tool available, including on-line sources,” he said. The past practice of advertising a superintendent opening in state and regional education newsletters and journals and in the larger newspapers around New England will not produce the number of applicants as in the past. To get a good response from top-flight candidates requires a national reach, Comstock said. Looking to the future, he added that it may require school districts being open to consider candidates whose experience is outside the typical career path in public education — classroom teacher, then building administration (like a principal), and then central office administration (such as an assistant superintendent). Someone who has been a CEO in private sector, who knows how to manage a middle- to large-size business, could potentially make the transition to superintendent. But Comstock acknowledged the issue of certification would need to be addressed. Current state Department of Education regulations state that in order to be certified as a superintendent in New Hampshire a candidate must have completed a series of specialized courses in school see next page

Sanbornton looks to use remaining stimulus money to replace Black Brook Rd. culverts By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
SANBORNTON — Three of the culverts that run under Black Brook Road could be replaced over the summer if the permitting and engineering can be completed in time to use the nearly $238,000 excess from last year’s watershed federal stimulus grant. The idea to use the money to further improve the watershed was broached by selectman during the April 4 meeting, when they met with Department of Environmental Services engineer Franz Vail — who is also a resident of the Winnisquam watershed area. from preceding page administration beyond the master’s degree level. And in order to be hired as an assistant superintendent a candidate must at the minimum be enrolled in a program that would lead to certification as a superintendent within six years. Sweeney said there is much to be said for the present stringent guidelines for becoming a superintendent. But by the same token school systems have to be practical. “If we don’t have people in the system, the system will not function,” she said indicating that different models of leadership should not be rejected out of hand. Reever agreed that the job of superintendent can be daunting. While she said hiring someone from the private sector to be an assistant superintendent might be feasible, she said the job of superintendent is too involved and complex for someone who has no prior experience in school management. Judith Fillion, director of the Division of Program Support at the state Department of Education which handles the credentialing of educators, agrees with Reever that hiring a non-educator who does not have the specialized education and prior experience working in schools to be a superintendent would be unwise. She said the idea of non-certified people serving as superintendents has come up in discussions of the Professional Standards Board, but the board’s position continues to be that a person must be professionally certified to work as a superintendent in New Hampshire. “I agree there is a problem (in finding good superintendent candidates),” she said. “But I don’t think the solution is to lower the standards for the job.” Rather more effort needs to be put into “ramping up the programs in our colleges” that prepare individuals for careers in education administration. There are currently 94 superintendents serving in 93 School Administrative Units across the state. (SAU 53, which oversees Pembroke Academy, is led by two co-superintendents.) One-third of those superintendents are responsible for more than one school district, such as SAU 2 which handles the administration of the Inter-Lakes and Ashland school districts. Sweeney said that in her experience teaching courses for aspiring school leaders, few fail to complete the program because of the daunting challenges. But she said she knows of students who have received their superintendent certification, but then did not take the next step of pursing a career as a superintendent. She also said that it is not uncommon for students in the superintendent certification program (almost all of whom are working full-time in education) to wonder out loud whether they really want to endure all the stress that goes with being a superintendent. A total of 170 students are enrolled in the certificate of advance graduate studies — or CAGS — program at PSU, of whom 40 are on the superintendent track. The others are pursuing certification as principals or curriculum coordinators, she explained. What motivates men and women to strive to become superintendents is encouragement from fellow educators. “Typically students I know have been motivated by administrators in their districts,” said Sweeney. Another factor is a certain level of idealism. “They believe in the institution of education. They see how they have benefited from the opportunity they received and they want that opportunity for others,” she said.
Vail said he believed the project could get underway because much of the engineering has already be done by Paul Fluet of Fluet Engineering as part of the massive watershed project in the same area that is nearing completion. “Fluet will still have to submit a design and we’ll have to get the wetlands permits,” said Vail yesterday. Vail said the project will replace two existing 48-inch culverts and one 36-inch culvert with new 8-by-8 feet pre-cast concrete box culverts. The construction would further reduce the amount of runoff that enters Lake Winnisquam especially during times of heavy rains and spring runoff. He said the runoff contains phosphorous, a naturally existing organic compound that is also widely used in fertilizer. The phosphorous feeds the milfoil growth and residents have for years battled the invasive weed the grows along the shore. An additional environmental impact would be
to eliminate the sediment that accumulates at the base of Black Brook and at some point in the future allow the State Department of Fish and Game to reintroduce smelts into the brook. Vail said his suggestion to the town was to get a bid from Hiltz Construction, Inc. — the company that is onsite and doing the bulk of the watershed work. Should that bid be competitive, Vail said it could be added as a change order to Hiltz existing contract and eliminate the need for an additional 30 days notice period. According to a posting for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund the environmental review period has begun and the entire proposal can be read on the town website. The total estimated cost of the project, including engineering, is expected to be $230,000. In addition to wetlands permits, the state may see next page

MOULTONBOROUGH — Mark Borrin, president of Preferred Vacation Rentals, appreciates what members of the armed services do and what their service has afforded him. To show that gratitude, his company is offering a “Break for the Brave,” a giveaway program offering a free, three-night stay in a lakeside cottage. Between now and May 31, Borrin is asking the general public to visit Preferred’s Facebook page and nominate someone they know for the program. The only requirement is that the nominee must either be a military veteran, a member of a reserves corps or a currently serving member of a branch of the country’s armed forces. At the end of the month, one of the names will be picked at random to receive the free rental, a value of $650. “All these people serve and make sacrifices for us, so we can do what we do. We want to give them some rest and relaxation,” said Borrin. Everyone who adds Preferred Vacation Rentals as a “friend” on Facebook will be able to nominate one

person. Those who “share” the post about the program on their own Facebook page can nominate a second person. The two-bedroom cottage, located in Moultonborough and featuring 200-feet of frontage on Lake Winnipesaukee, can be used by the contest winner
TILTON — The Police Department here — in cooperation with the Northfield Police Department, Sanbornton Police Department, and the Belmont Police Department — has established a Regional DWI Task Force and has applied for, and was granted, a Superior Court Petition to conduct a Sobriety Checkpoint. The checkpoint, during which every vechicle that passes during a certain time frame will be asked to stop for questioning, will be held at an undisclosed location sometime between May 18 and 28. The purpose of the Sobriety Checkpoint is to detect and apprehend the impaired driver. Tilton Police Department Chief Robert Cormier, Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti of the Belmont Police Department, Chief Steve Adams of the Northfield Police Department, Chief Steve Hankard of the Sanbornton Police Department, have taken an aggressive stance to prevent persons from driving when intoxicated. New Hampshire has some of the most aggressive laws in the country to fight the intoxicated driver and the law enforcement community will use those tools to their full extent.

In other Sanbornton news, at its most recent meeting, the newly elected board voted David Nickerson to be its chair. Nickerson had resigned as chair about two weeks before the recent town elections and Guy Giunta had taken over temporarily, serving as chair during elections and annual Town Meeting. Giunta said yesterday he is still working fulltime with the state and is in charge of N.H.’s lilac program and had told his fellow board members he would fill the chairman’s seat only temporarily. Nickerson gave no reason for why he resigned as chair in April, however, it is the third time he has served as chair for a period and then resigned.
Laconia Little League pitcher has perfect night, strikes out all 12 batters he faces By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — At just 12 years old, Carter Doherty has achieved a feat that most pitchers will go their entire baseball career without experiencing. On May 10, in a Laconia Little League game against the American Legion team, Doherty, who plays for the Elks, pitched a perfect game. Of course, pitching perfection in Little League is a decidedly different accomplishment than doing so in the majors. For example, the May 10 game only lasted for four innings. They usually play six, but end the game early if one team is leading by more than ten runs after the fourth. Still, the scorebook chronicles an impressive performance by the young pitcher. Even rarer than the celebrated “no-hitter,” the term “perfect game” describes an outing where a pitcher goes an entire game without giving up either a hit or a walk; no runner reaches base safely for any reason. In fact, Doherty’s game was even better – he faced 12 batters and struck them all out, one right after the other. The fact that the contest was called early shouldn’t count against him, either. Doherty was partly responsible for that, too. He hit two home runs in the game, driving in a total of three runs. The Elks won the game 12 to 0. Doherty, who throws fastballs and uses a curve ball to keep hitters guessing, said he didn’t realize what was happening until the third inning, when a teammate mentioned his unusual opportunity. Then, he said, “I was nerve-wracked.” He didn’t let the butterflies take over, though. After the fourth inning, and his twelfth consecutive strikeout, he had done it. “It was pretty exciting. It was like, wow, I just did that. It was surprising.” “I’ve been coaching for 1- years, I don’t ever remember seeing a perfect game,” said Don Doherty, Carter’s father and coach of the team. “He’s probably the most dominant pitcher in the league this year,” BACTERIA from page one Until Thursday, Aimee Copeland did not know the full extent of her condition, only that her hands were badly infected. Andy Copeland said he told his daughter about what had happened since the accident, how her one leg had been amputated. Doctors had once characterized her survival as “slim to none.” “We told her of the outpouring of love from across the world,” her father said. “We told her that the world loved and admired her. We explained that she had become a symbol of hope, love and faith. Aimee’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She was amazed.” In Copeland’s case, the necrotizing fasciitis was caused by bacteria known as Aeromonas hydrophila, which is found in warm rivers and streams. Many people exposed to the bacteria don’t get sick. Only a

he said. It was an advantage for Carter that he was chosen to join the all-star team last season, which gave him the chance to play with some other talented players. “This year, he’s coming into his own.” With several games left in the regular season, Carter said he’s happy to just play and see where the game takes him. “I’m just having fun,” he said. handful of necrotizing fasciitis infections caused by the bacteria have been reported in medical journals in recent decades. Under the condition, the bacteria emit toxins that destroy muscle, fat and skin tissue. Andy Copeland said he learned Thursday that doctors wanted to amputate his daughter’s hands and remaining foot. Doctors were concerned she could develop respiratory problems and if her hands released an infection in her body there was a risk she could become septic again, her father said. “We had a window of opportunity to perform the amputations and have a successful outcome,” he said. “As they usually do, the doctors were presenting us with a medical no-brainer. We had to do what is necessary to save Aimee’s life.” At that point, the family decided to share the situsee next page

BRIDGE from page 3 residents to walk or bike. But the town hasn’t completed its portion of the project, leaving the bridge ready for visitors but still inaccessible to the public. Romney seized on it as part of a plan that was “without question, the largest, one-time, careless expenditure of government money in American history.” Obama’s campaign rejected the assertion and said the president’s policies have helped create millions of jobs. “When President Obama took office, we were in the midst of an economic crisis and losing 750,000 jobs a month,” said Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith. “The president’s policies, policies that Mitt Romney criticizes, helped bring the economy back from the brink of another Depression and we’ve now seen over 4.2 million jobs created over the last 26 months.” Romney didn’t much care who had come up short. He blamed the Obama administration. “The bad news is that’s not just wasteful spending. It’s wasteful borrowing, as well. Because we’re still going to be paying on that debt for years and years and years,” he said in a state where fiscal conserva-
tism runs deep among voters of all stripes. New Hampshire does not have a state sales or income tax. Any suggestion of tax increases spells political disaster, and allegations of wasteful spending help — or hurt — politicians from both parties. Obama and Romney are expected to fight over New Hampshire. While it offers just four of the 270 electoral votes it takes to win the presidency, activists from both parties note that had Democrat Al Gore carried the state in 2000 he would have won the White House despite losing Florida to Republican George W. Bush. Romney allies defended his criticism of the stimulus even though its money paid for part of the project. “Should we be borrowing money from China to fund projects like that? Does that make any sense? No. It does not make any sense,” said Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, a Romney supporter. Romney aides contend the project added to the federal deficit and diverted dollars away from worthwhile infrastructure programs that would have been completed, such as bridges that actually carry vehicles.

Copeland said he showed his daughter her hands, told her they were not healthy and were hampering her progress. “Aimee, I do not want anything to happen to you,” Copeland said he told his daughter. “Your mind is beautiful, your heart is good and your spirit is strong. These hands can prevent your recovery from moving forward. The doctors want to amputate them and your foot today to assure your best possible chance of survival.” Aimee Copeland nodded her understanding.
Her father explained that she would eventually be fitted with prosthetics to help her get around and she nodded again. Then she smiled, raised her hands up and looked at the damage. She then turned to her family, gathered by her bedside and mouthed the words: “Let’s do this.” Her father said he left the room with tears in his eyes. “I wasn’t crying because Aimee was going to lose her hands and foot, I was crying because, in all my 53 years of existence, I have never seen such a strong display of courage,” Copeland said.
from preceding page George saw or what George was thinking,” the suspect’s father, Robert, told investigators in a March 19 interview included in Thursday’s release. “Or what anybody saw or what they were thinking.” In some states, “discovery” like this isn’t released prior to trial — unless it’s by a defense team hoping to score points in the court of public opinion. That is what happened during the infamous 2006 Duke University lacrosse rape case, in which North Carolina officials ultimately determined that the local prosecutor rushed to judgment in charging three students with raping a stripper. In Florida, evidence is generally considered a public record once the prosecution turns it over to the defense. Among the things prosecutors are prohibited from releasing pretrial: Confessions. Zimmerman gave several interviews to police, including re-enacting at the scene what he says happened that night. But there is no statement from the 28-year-old shooter among the materials made public this week. His only public comment so far came during his detention hearing last month, when he apologized to Martin’s parents — but stopped short of admitting any crime. Tamara Lave, a University of Miami law professor, says all this release does is to remind us how malleable “facts” can be. “I think we always want evidence to be like we’re Moses climbing the temple mountain: You read it and get all the questions answered,” says Lave, who worked a decade as a public defender before entering academia. “I think people are really getting to find out how gray evidence really is.” Perhaps the biggest revelation was the release of photographs showing Zimmerman with two black eyes, a swollen nose and multiple lacerations on the see next page

from preceding page back of his close-cropped head. Zimmerman’s lawyers have maintained their client was simply doing his duty when he noticed a stranger in the neighborhood and began following him. They say Martin was the aggressor, knocking Zimmerman to the ground, then pummeling him with his fists. When Zimmerman pulled his 9 mm pistol and fired directly into the boy’s chest, the defense says, he was within his rights under Florida’s “stand your ground law.” Under that law, people are given wide latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat in a fight if they believe they are in danger of being killed or seriously injured, if they weren’t committing a crime themselves and if they are in a place they have the legal right to be. Randy McClean, an Orlando-area defense attorney, has sifted through most of the evidence released thus far. He says it corroborates Zimmerman’s story of a struggle that was “at least moderate in nature.” “But we still have the issue out there: Who was the initial aggressor?” McClean said. “The fact that there was a physical altercation, and it appears Martin was getting the better of Zimmerman in the altercation, it does not necessarily excuse Zimmerman’s act. Because if he was the initial aggressor, he can’t avail himself to the stand your ground law.” To Martin’s family, none of that matters. Zimmerman shouldn’t have been following their son in the first place, especially after a dispatcher told him to stand down. But, as Lave notes, “You don’t lose the right to selfdefense because you act idiotic.” Some of the interviews released illustrate just how difficult it may be to reach the truth. On one of the 911 calls, someone can be heard screaming for help just before the gunshot. When Martin’s mother heard that audio, she declared definitively that it was his voice; the boy’s father told an investigator it wasn’t Trayvon. Robert Zimmerman was adamant that the voice on the recording was HIS son’s. The FBI says it performed voice recognition analy-

sis on the recording. Because of the poor audio quality, it was deemed inconclusive. According to documents released this week, Martin’s blood showed traces of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. We knew from earlier reports that he’d been disciplined for smoking pot, and the amounts found in his blood sample suggest he hadn’t indulged in the days leading up to the incident, experts told The Associated Press. Despite all this new evidence, some aren’t sure the case will ever go to trial. Before that can happen, a judge must first schedule a hearing on whether the stand your ground law applies. Zimmerman’s attorneys will have to prove his case by a “preponderance of the evidence” — a fairly low bar, jurisprudence-wise. It just means that more likely than not, Zimmerman acted within the law. “If he prevails, the prosecutor is barred from proceeding criminally,” says Lave, “and the Martin family from pursuing him civilly.” She thinks this case will go to trial. Then, she believes, like many, that the testimony of Martin’s girlfriend will be pivotal. The girl, whose name was redacted from the released audio files, spoke with assistant state attorney Bernie De la Rionda on April 2. During the 22-minute interview, she said in a shaking voice that she had been talking with Martin since before he entered a 7-Eleven store to purchase his now famous iced tea and Skittles. The cell connection was bad, and the couple were repeatedly disconnected. But at one point, Martin told her he noticed a white man sitting in a car, watching him. “He was telling me, like, that man watching him, he going to start walking and then the phone hung up and I called him back again,” the girl said. “And I

And he said he walking and he said this man still following him.” It was drizzling, and the girl said Martin told her he was putting up his hood. “I told him go to his dad’s house,” she said. Martin told her that he was going to run. She could hear the wind blowing in the phone’s speaker. “He was breathing hard,” she said. “(his) voice kinda changed. I know he was scared. (his) voice was getting kinda low.” Suddenly, she heard Martin say, “Why you following me for?” The girl said she could hear another voice, one she described as deep and belonging to an “old man.” “The old man say, ‘What you doing around here?’” She asked Martin repeatedly what was going on, but he didn’t respond. She said she heard someone say, “Get off,” though she thought it was her boyfriend. She heard rustling, then nothing. No screaming, no gunshot.

DERBY from page one This year the derby honors his memory with the awarding of the first Rick Davis Sportsman’s Award, for which all adult salmon division entries are eligible and will go the angler whose catch most closely matches the average weight of all salmon entered in the derby. LaBrie says that three factors made last year’s turnout less than stellar, a lackluster economy, wet and cold weather and the fact that the Derby had been cancelled in 2010 over concerns about the declining number of trophy size salmon being landed, which many, including Davis, had attributed to too much fishing pressure on Lake Winnipesaukee. ‘’We’ve got good weather forecast for the whole weekend and last minute ticket sales have been really good,’’ said LaBrie. Don Miller, fisheries biologist with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, said that the bright, sunny weather doesn’t necessarily mean that the fishing will be at it’s best throughout the weekend. ‘’The light drives the salmon and lake trout down to lower water levels. The ideal weather for fishing for those species is with clouds or light rain and a little chop on the water,’’ says Miller. He said that the best time to fish for salmon on sunny days comes just as sunlight breaks until about 9 a.m. After that they retreat to the lower levels. Early successes were being recorded Friday on the western side of the lake in the area of Diamond and Rattlesnake Islands, where many veteran anglers were congregating. The first salmon brought in at the Weirs Beach station was a 3.68 pound, 22 and a quarter inch long salmon which had been landed near Welch Island by 10-year-old Hayden Parent of Northfield. He landed the fish about 5:30 a.m. while fishing with his father, Jason Parent, who operates a hunting and fishing guide service. His fish, which was entered in the junior category, was the largest one landed until mid-morning when a 3.72 pound catch was recorded at the Alton Bay weigh-in station, which is new this year. Connor Shults, 16, of Upton, Mass., landed two good-looking salmon while fishing with his father and grandfather near Diamond and Rattlesnake Island. The largest, which weighed 3.18 pounds, was landed around 5:15 a.m. and the second, which weighed 2.90 pounds, about an hour later. Shults was in first place in the junior division three years ago until the closing minutes when a girl bumped him out of first place, according to his father, Gary, who bemoaned the loss of what he estimated to be a seven to eight pound salmon last year that he had hooked but got away before he get it onto his boat. He said that fishing was good early in the mornfrom preceding page friend called Martin at 7:12 p.m. When police arrived at the scene at 7:17 p.m., Martin was already shot and on the ground. “She’s the only person, for sure, that is a witness who knows what he (Martin) felt and sounded like in those moments,” Lave says of the girlfriend. “All those things can play a role in the outcome of the case.” But there are gaps in the file no one can fill. Martin can’t describe his feelings that evening — whether he was angry, afraid, both. Zimmerman — who has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and is in hiding — could testify

ing and that a large rainbow trout had been landed, along with several good-sized salmon, all of which were released. The grand prize in the salmon division is $12,500 cash; second place is $2,500, and third place is a one-half day ocean charter with Kool-Aid Charters valued at $500. The major prize for the lake trout division is $5,000 in cash; second place is $1,000. The top prize in the Junior Angler Division is a 2011 14-foot Alumacraft T14V model boat and trailer.

The Alton location will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today with the Weirs location open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and from 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday.

to his own state of mind. But would people believe anything he says? Martin’s parents say Zimmerman racially profiled the boy. Some of those who’ve spoken to police believe it. “I don’t know what happened,” one distraught woman, who is not identified, says in one the recordings released this week. “I don’t at all know who this kid was or anything else, but I know George. And I know that he does not like black people. He would start something just to start something. He’s very confrontational. It’s in his blood, we’ll just say that.” Zimmerman’s supporters say there’s not a racist bone in his body. “I know that George Zimmerman, if several Asians had broken in places there, and he saw an Asian walking around, he’d probably say, ‘Wait a minute. I recognize most of the people that live here, and I don’t recognize that person,’” his father told police in the March 19 interview. If he consents, police could subject the watchman to a polygraph test. But, even if it was admitted as evidence, you can’t depose someone’s heart. For his part, Robert Zimmerman said he felt as if the case and the public storm surrounding it were “an avalanche, and I’m standing at the bottom of it ...” With luck, the truth in this challenging case won’t
Sixers stun Celtics 92-83 & even series at 2 games each PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Andre Iguodala snapped a tie game with five straight points in the final 90 seconds to help the Philadelphia 76ers storm back from 15 points down in the first half and stun the Boston Celtics 92-83 on Friday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The young Sixers were a team reborn in the second half and played like a squad that refused to roll over for the championship-tested Celtics. “I don’t even know where to start,” Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said. “Our guys are pretty amazing. They really are.” The Sixers tied the series at 2-2 with the huge comeback and guaranteed a return home for one more game. Iguodala, one of the more maligned athletes in recent Philadelphia history, put the Sixers ahead 85-83 with a step-back jumper and buried a 3-pointer for a five-point lead. Game 5 is Monday in Boston. Iguodala scored 16 points, Evan Turner had 16 and Lou Williams added 15. Kevin Garnett had his first bad outing in an otherwise monster series with nine points. With Garnett in a funk, so were the Celtics. The Sixers just kept attacking, turning a first half of airballs, botched dunks and sloppy defense into a full-blown display of near-flawless basketball. Thaddeus Young’s thunderous slam tied the game at 63 in the middle of the fourth. And when Jodie Meeks drained a 3-pointer on the Sixers’ next trip down the court for Philadelphia’s first lead 20,000 fans stomped their feet and unleashed two hours of pent-up jubilation. Williams hounded Paul Pierce and forced a turnover, fed the ball to a streaking Turner for a dunk and put the lead at 68-65. It was that kind of hustle that brought the Sixers back. After Garnett blocked a Lavoy Allen shot, Young snagged the ball out of the air and score to make it 74-all. Game 4 came down to young legs, fresh enthusiasm and untested big-game experience vs. aging, championship-tested stars fighting for another title. Give the edge to the Sixers. Iguodala, who has been branded as the face of a mediocre franchise over his eight seasons, has changed that talk with a clutch postseason. He sank the winning free throws in Game 6 to finish off the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in the first round. And it was Iguodala who finished off the Celtics in Game 4. Pierce had 24 points and Rajon Rondo had 15 points and 15 assists. Garnett, who turns 36 on Saturday, missed nine of 12 shots. The Celtics look primed for a blowout victory after the first 10 minutes of the game. They hold out hope a trip back to Boston can make them forget about this collapse. “Coming out of halftime they came out more physical, and we got into that instead of playing basketball. We lost our composure,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. Philadelphia CEO Adam Aron tweeted at the break, “This will have to be one of the best come backs ever for the (at)Sixers.” Down 15 at the half, the under-25 crew found their spark, their legs and their shooting touch to crank up the pressure on the Celtics. Williams hit a 3, Iguodala hit a 3, and Williams converted a three-point play to make it 58-54. Williams stood on the free-throw line with the widest smile of anyone in the building and calmly sank the deficit-slicing free throw.

Hamels pitches Phillies past Red Sox 6-4 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It was no surprise that Philadelphia earned its season-best sixth straight victory with Cole Hamels on the mound. Hamels pitched seven strong innings, and Hunter Pence and Freddy Galvis homered to lead the Phillies to a 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Hamels (6-1) gave up three runs on six hits while striking out nine and walking one. It was the sixth straight win for Hamels, who improved to 4-0 in five career starts against Boston. Philadelphia improved to 7-1 in Hamels’ eight starts this season. Streaking Carlos Ruiz went 2 for 3 with a pair of RBIs for Philadelphia, which moved two games above .500 for the first time this season. Ruiz, who entered leading major league catchers in several offensive categories, is 11 for 17 in his last five games. Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless ninth for his 12th save in as many chances. Papelbon had 219
saves in six seasons with the Red Sox before signing a four-year, $50 million deal with Philadelphia in the offseason. The closer said there wasn’t any extra meaning in getting the save against his former team. “I want to go out there and try to preserve all the wins I can for my starters,” Papelbon said. “I think for me I take a little extra pride in that. That’s basically kind of what it boiled down to for me.” Adrian Gonzalez, Mike Aviles and Cody Ross homered for the Red Sox. The game matched clubs with the second- (Phillies, $175 million) and third-highest (Red Sox, $173 million) payrolls, though each entered in last place in their division. Daniel Bard (3-5), converted to a starter before this season, matched his shortest outing of the year by allowing five runs on three hits with five walks in five innings.

New Hampton School students atop Veazey Dorm after helping install a solar hot water heating system. (Courtesy photo)
NEW HAMPTON — The scene outside Veazey Dorm at New Hampton School on Thursday, May 10, was equal parts industrious, educational, and celebratory. NHS, with the dedication and hard work of Bekka Joslin’s Projects in Sustainability class, teamed with Plymouth Area Renewable PAREI for its third Solar Energy Raiser in as many years. Students helped install two Apricus Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors on a first story roof and the solar loop components off the water storage tank. Joslin was impressed with how her students embraced every aspect of the process. “One of the things I enjoy most about working on a project like this with students is seeing the transformation that takes place in each of them in just one day,” Joslin explains. “They start the morning rather shy and reserved and by lunchtime they are actively involved in the decision-making process of the installation, have gained hands-on skills, and can confidently explain the intricate details of the system (often better than I can)” With the installation of a second solar collector on Veazey Dorm and the third on the school’s campus, New Hampton is demonstrating a commitment to preparing for its energy future. The solar collectors on Veazey Dorm can generate up to 80% of the hot water needs for that building, reducing our dependence on non-renewable energy, while at the same time providing opportunities for educating our community about

alternative energy. The system has a new feature; a monitoring unit that displays real time data on the school web site, allowing students, faculty and staff to view and analyze the collector’s performance. Senior Brooks Vrana ‘12 embraced the opportunity to gain understanding through the experiential nature of the process. “I think the highlight was getting the hands-on work up in the attic, and screwing in everything was also fun. To have a dorm that is close to getting all its hot water from solar equipment is a huge step,” Vrana said. “Having two solar water heaters on this dorm and another on Smith House neearby is spreading the word, too.” Faculty member Ted Stiles has also been instrumental in the school’s push toward solar. He was particularly impressed with the students’ dedication and engagement. Stiles is a veteran of 25 other solar installations, and spent most of the day in the attic. “I was particularly impressed with Brooks’ level of dedication and hard work in the hot attic for several hours,” Stiles said. “He eagerly took on the responsibility of making the tricky compression fitting connection between the flexible stainless steel tube used in the attic and the copper pipes on either end. Cara Emerson ‘13 seemed excited to be using power tools, which was a new experience for her. She helped in the cramped small section of the attic, making sure see next page

Gilmanton Corner Library turns 100 years old
GILMANTON — Built in 1845, the Gilmanton Corner Library has been at various times a cobbler’s shop, dwelling house, harness shop, millinery store, printing office, and a library. For the last 100 years, it has been home to a year round volunteer library which serves not only the “locals”, but summer visitors as well. The library is staffed by a core group of dedicated and talented volunteers who organize fun filled and educational activities for all age groups. This month the library will be celebrating Children’s Book Week. The volunteer staff would like to extend an invitation to one and all to attend the centennial celebration for the library, which, complete with cake, will be held on the Gilmanton Corner Town Green on Saturday, June 2 from 1-4 p.m. For more information about this event or any of the other activities, contact Linda Hudziec, librarian, at 267-1258.
Call 603-726-4830 or 603-677-6288 This picture of the Gilmanton Corner Library is the work of, J. Bailey. Magnets with this representation of the library may be purchased for $5. Proceeds from the sale go to fund the library endeavors. (Courtesy photo)
NORTHFIELD — “Vegucated”, an award-winning documentary, will premiere in New Hampshire at the Pines Community Center on Thursday, May 31 at 7:30 p.m. The film follows three meat-and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. Lured with true tales of weight loss and health regained, they begin to uncover hidden sides of animal agriculture and soon start to wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before. Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time. The film will be preceded by a vegan cooking class at 5:30 p.m. followed by a dinner at 7 p.m.. This month’s menu is (non-dairy) Cream of Broccoli Soup; Arugula, Radish, and Apple Salad with Cider Vinaigrette; Italian (Seitan) “Sausage” with Sautéed Onions and Green Peppers; Rhubarb-Cherry Crisp for dessert, and Herbal Tea. “May is a busy month for health education, as it’s been designated as Arthritis Awareness Month,
High Blood Pressure Education Month, and Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month,” said organizer Louisa Dell’Amico. “Toward that end, we’ll be serving some foods that have shown to be effective in helping to relieve some of these conditions. For example, arugula and rhubarb have been found to be the top two foods in terms of nitrate concentration. When consumed, our bodies convert nitrates to nitrites, and then to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is extremely beneficial to arteries and athletic performance. In contrast, nitrites in processed meat form nitrosamines (the most carcinogenic molecules found in tobacco smoke). This may explain why hot dog consumption has been associated with the two leading pediatric cancers, brain tumors and childhood leukemia, according to Michael Greger, MD. “Since cured and smoked sausage contain high levels of nitrosamines, we’ll be making our own vegan Italian sausages,” said Dell’Amico. “You’ve got to taste it to believe it,” she said. “They are very sausage-like.” Advance reservations are required. Cost of class, dinner, & film: $22. Please pay in two separate checks, one for $12 payable to PCC, the other for $10 payable to Louisa Dell’Amico, and mail to: PCC, Po Box 262, Tilton, NH 03276. Cost for film only is $5, payable to PCC. For more info, contact Louisa at 729-0248 or louisa@metrocast.net
from preceding page not to step off the boards and put her foot through the ceiling of the dorm, to insulate the glycol loop and hang the pipes securely from the rafters.” Stiles was also optimistic about the practical results the installation will bring to NHS. “Now the whole dorm will have all its hot water pre-heated by solar, so the electric water heaters will need to come on much less,” Stiles explained. “According to the energy production calculator from Apricus, the manufacturer, our three systems together will produce about $4 of energy per day on average, or about $1,500 per year. The new iPadbased Apollo monitoring system will help students study the system’s performance.”
The relationship between New Hampton School and PAREI began on Earth Day 2010, when Joslin’s Projects in Sustainability class worked with PAREI to install a 60-tube Apricus system on half of Veazey dorm. In 2011, the school put a 30-tube system on Smith House, which includes the Headmaster’s house and the Alumni Hall reception area. Founded in 1821, New Hampton School is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory secondary school of 305 students who come from over 30 states and 19 countries. NHS cultivates lifelong learners who will serve as active global citizens. Students benefit from an average class size of eleven and a student-faculty ratio of five to one.

MEREDITH — Featured Artist for June at The League of NH Craftsmen Meredith Retail Gallery will be fiber artist Kathleen Peters, who developed her art while working as a heat transfer engineer for 3M. In her spare time she explored many traditional crafts including quilting, knitting, stained glass, pottery and woodworking. She especially enjoyed working with fiber because of the vast array of textures and its tactile nature. A good friend introduced her to felting with wool, opening a new world of creativity. “For me, felting is entwined with engineering,”
explains Peters. “To achieve heirloom quality work, one must understand how the wool fibers interact on the microscale. This understanding enables me to project what the finished project will be and how to manipulate the fibers to achieve my vision.” Her inspiration is the natural environment. “Many of my works are images of places I have travelled to and from my community. However, the pieces are intended to evoke an emotional experience rather than replicate the sights,” she says. She will also be the first speaker in the gallery’s see next page

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
Rash of home thefts in Lakes Region There were 61 residential home sales in April 2012 in the communities in this Lakes Region real estate market report. The average sales price came in at $324,580 and the median price point at $170,000. While 61 sales might not seem like a lot, it is 33% better than the 46 sales last April and the average price is up from $317,714. Residential sales are up 23% year to date over the same period last year, so things are definitely looking up. It looks as though the theft charges filed against a Gilford man will be dropped before the case can go to court. Fred Byer was charged with grand larceny in connection with the theft at the property located at 19 Mountain Ridge Drive in Meredith. It was alleged that Mr. Byer perpetrated the crime after visiting the residence sometime in mid March. Witnesses were to testify that he cased the place thoroughly and then some 51 days later returned and stole the entire residence for $350,000. That was $89,000 less than the asking price and $259,000 less than the current tax assessment which is criminal. It also appears that Mr. Byer was not acting alone. The Meredith Police Department and the NH State Police were summoned to the scene by a passerby who noticed suspicious activity around the long vacant home. The perpetrator, who was caught red handed at the residence, appeared to be delirious and light headed from the high that accompanies these high stake robberies. Mr. Byer was cuffed and taken to LRGH for observation and released into custody later the same day. A back ground check revealed Mr. Byer had been a suspect in other similar robberies, so he was detained and then charged with the crime. Upon further investigation it was learned that Mr. Byer had the help of not only a local lending institution, but a title company, and two shifty looking real estate agents who appear to have received some compensation in connection with helping Mr. Byer pull this caper off. After extensive interrogation of
Timothy Vault from the bank and Sharon Deeds from the title company (no one would have believed the real estate agents) it was determined that this was a new form of legalized grand larceny and all charges against Mr. Byer had to be dropped. It appears that this was not just an isolated event. There has been an rash of house thefts in the Lakes Region as of late. It does not appear that the robberies are connected, but it does seem that the modus operandi is very similar. In each case the perpetrator literally walked away with thousands of dollars in instant equity. Here are the addresses of a few of the homes hit in this latest crime wave: 31 Johnson Street, Belmont, a 3 bedroom, 1,080 sq ft home on .49 acres stolen for $75,000 or 51% of the assessed value. 63 Sand Hill Road, Gilford, a four bedroom, 4,520 sq ft contemporary on 1.95 acres stolen for $257,500 or 58% of the assessment. 364 Black Brook Road, a three bedroom waterfront cottage on Winnisquam sold for $370,000 or 73% of the assessed value. 6 Old Bristol Road, New Hampton, an 1800’s vintage, 4 bedroom, 3,900 sq ft colonial on 1.8 acres stolen for $315,000 or 80% of the assessment. A neighborhood watch is being organized in several communities to help restore calm. All residents are requested to report anything unusual to local law enforcement officials. While the names in this report have been changed to protect the innocent and the story a total fabrication, the sales results are real.

by Darby Conley
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re like a child: ready to experience more joy than the adults because you want to move forward, embrace new experiences and learn different approaches. You’ll break free from the familiar. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Usually, you don’t like the feeling of drifting. As the archer of the zodiac, you prefer to stay on target. But sometimes drifting is necessary. It reminds you that there’s more of the world to see. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whether or not you want to change, you will change. That’s the nature of this lifetime. So instead of resisting it, see if you can guide the changes in the direction you would prefer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may feel that you have no control over your feelings, but you can manage them well if you maintain awareness. Your willingness to experience the full impact of your emotions puts you in a powerful position. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make sure that your relationship is a dance, with lots of back and forth action -- as opposed to a chase. When people are chased, they can’t help but run. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 19). You’ll kick up your heels in the next six weeks, intent on making your life as fun as it can be. June brings a spending spree, though you’ll only buy what’s useful and likely to help you make even more money. Love and travel are linked in August. Stay open-minded in September, when unlikely pairings will bring special luck. Aquarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 22, 38 and 49.
Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis you.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s something irresistible about the one who has created a private world, and today that person is you. It’s funny how ignoring someone stirs that person’s interest in you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t forget to ask for what you want. This takes confidence, which you have plenty of now. If you don’t ask, you might still get -- but the odds are slim. You increase your odds tenfold by asking and asking often. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have something to share, and there will be many takers. So be sure to plan ahead. Decide what portion you can afford to give out, knowing you’ll give it several times. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The word “no” can be a bigger blessing than the word “yes.” So though you’re going for “yes,” you accept whatever comes, knowing that it’s for the highest and the best. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Many want your business, your attention or your help. Knowing that others might be disappointed when they are unable to win your favor, you strive to offer a gracious and sincere response. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be careful not to want something so much today that your wanting actually pushes it farther away from you. Instead of wanting, try indifference. If indifference doesn’t work, try assuming that you have it already. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The gift of the day is an increased awareness of yourself and your spiritual nature. You’ll feel at peace and will radiate a calm exterior. People will feel safe around

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 19, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, May 19, the 140th day of 2012. There are 226 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 19, 1962, actress Marilyn Monroe sang a sultry rendition of “Happy Birthday to You” to guest-of-honor President John F. Kennedy during a star-studded Democratic fundraiser at New York’s Madison Square Garden (the third of four arenas to bear that name). 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 1964, the State Department disclosed that 40 hidden microphones had been found in the U.S. embassy in Moscow. In 1967, the Soviet Union ratified a treaty with the United States and Britain banning nuclear and other weapons from outer space as well as celestial bodies such as the moon. (The treaty entered into force in October 1967.) In 1971, poet Ogden Nash, known for his humorous light verses, died in Baltimore at age 68. In 1981, five British soldiers were killed by an Irish Republican Army landmine in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. In 1992, in a case that drew much notoriety, Mary Jo Buttafuoco of Massapequa, N.Y., was shot and seriously wounded by her husband Joey’s teenage lover, Amy Fisher. Vice President Dan Quayle sparked controversy by criticizing the CBS sitcom “Murphy Brown” for having its title character, played by Candice Bergen, decide to have a child out of wedlock. One year ago: President Barack Obama for the first time endorsed the Palestinians’ demand that their eventual state be based on borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, a position that put him sharply at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Today’s Birthdays: PBS newscaster Jim Lehrer is 78. TV personality David Hartman is 77. Actor James Fox is 73. Actress Nancy Kwan is 73. Author-director Nora Ephron is 71. Actor Peter Mayhew is 68. Rock singer-composer Pete Townshend (The Who) is 67. Concert pianist David Helfgott is 65. Rock singer-musician Dusty Hill (ZZ Top) is 63. Singer-actress Grace Jones is 60. Rock musician Phil Rudd (AC-DC) is 58. Actor Steven Ford is 56. Rock musician Iain Harvie (Del Amitri) is 50. Actor Jason Gray-Stanford is 42. Rock singer Jenny Berggren (Ace of Base) is 40. Actor Drew Fuller is 32. Christian rock musician Tim McTague is 29. Actor Eric Lloyd is 26.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 19, 2012— Page 23
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: A few months ago, my husband mentioned that he’d responded to an email from a girl he used to know. I didn’t think much about it, but then I saw him composing an email, and every time I walked near him, he shielded it from me. He started spending more time on the computer, and I got curious. Finally, I checked his account and saw that he and this girl had been corresponding every day. There was nothing sexual, but there was a lot of flirting, and he encouraged her to keep writing. I confronted my husband, and he insisted it was all innocent, that they were only friends and he had no intention of taking things any further. We talked about it, and I let him know how hurt I was. I said this is how affairs start. He promised there would be no more emails. I told him that would go a long way toward helping me to forgive and forget. I thought he understood, but tonight he showed me an email he was sending her. I guess he thinks that makes it OK. But, Annie, he promised he would stop communicating with her, and I expect him to keep his word. I cannot understand why he would keep emailing when he knows how much it upsets me -- unless he has feelings for her. I want to trust him again, but how can I when he keeps doing this? I have loved him for 40 years and don’t want to lose him, but I don’t think I can live with this situation. -- Desperate Housewife Dear Desperate: Your husband doesn’t understand that this is a betrayal of your marriage. And although he may not have any real feelings for this woman, he sounds mildly infatuated, and the correspondence boosts his ego. He enjoys the flirting and wants it to continue. First, try revving up the action at home so your husband appreciates
what he has. He needs more flirtatious attention from you. Then tell him the emailing needs to stop, because the next step is marriage counseling. Dear Annie: Some time ago, I attended an event at a friend’s church. There was an empty seat at our table, so a solo man was seated with us. He seemed agreeable until he was finished eating. Then he took a flosser out of his pocket and proceeded to clean his teeth at the table. I almost threw up. Would it have been acceptable for me to ask him to please go to the restroom to perform that ritual? If not, how else might I have handled it? -- Turned Stomach Dear Stomach: People are often inappropriate in public and either don’t realize or don’t care that others find it unappetizing. It would have been fine to say with a slight grimace, “Would you mind flossing in the restroom? It’s such a private activity, and some of us have sensitive stomachs.” Of course, there is no guarantee that he would listen. Dear Annie: The letter from “Lake Effect Wife” hit home. In my 35 years of marriage, I have always done the household chores, shopping and cooking. There were several years when I also was the only one bringing in an income. I have never been able to get my husband to do anything. When I ask why, he says, “It’s not important to me, but if it is to you, then you do it.” I cannot describe how this has crushed me. I couldn’t figure out how I chose a man who cared so little for me that he wouldn’t lift a finger to help. I always thought marriage was a partnership, but I’ve been going it alone for a long time. If I knew then what I know now -- I’d Be Single

Weed Watchers seek volunteers to help prevent spread of invasive milfoil MOULTONBOROUGH — The volunteer Weed Watcher program of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) has taken a proactive approach to exotic plant control including variable milfoil that is blanketing Moultonborough’s 60 plus miles of Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline and coves. Bev Nelson, manager of the Moultonborough Weed Watchers, says that this year’s goal is to have volunteers watching every inch of shoreline for the invasive milfoil weed. “This is a huge task. We have secured volunteers for many areas and still need more help – especially
in the areas of Long Island, Blacky’s cove and areas on the western side of Moultonborough Neck,’’ says Nelson. She says that anyone can become a Weed Watcher. “We have trained lake residents, whether full or just weekenders, retirement groups, youth groups, fishing enthusiasts, and many others. Volunteers like these are the best line of defense because they are often the most familiar with the water bodies they choose to watch, allowing them to notice even a subtle change in plant growth.’’ To volunteer contact Bev Nelson, manager of the Moultonborough Weed Watchers, at weedwatchers.moultonborough@gmail.com or call 253-4274.
