Main Street biz group will play host to return of circus

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Main Street Initiative last night unanimously agreed to sponsor the return of the Kelly Miller Circus to Laconia for seven shows on July 6, 7 and 8 at a location still to be determined.

Jeff Pattison, chairman of the Parks and Recreation Com-

mission, said last night that the commission will consider a request to host the circus at Memorial Field, where it was staged last year, or on a 10.4acre parcel leased from the state at the junction of North Main Street and Old North Main Street at a special meeting tonight. A privately owned property on the west side of

Route 106 near the Belmont town line, over which the commission has no authority, is also under consideration. With limited time before the scheduled date of the circus, Pattison anticipated that the commission would not defer its decision on the request.

The Main Street Initiative is an organization of downtown

businesses that grew out of the former Main Street program.

Don Vachon, who managed the circus for American Legion Post No. 1 a year ago, told more than a dozen members of the Main Street Initiative gathered at Burrito Me that although the legion decided not to sponsor the event this year, he had see CIRCUs page 10

Obama in Kabul on anniversary of bin Laden’s death WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama answered political taunts with presidential muscle Tuesday, addressing the nation from Kabul as Republicans said he’s overdoing the celebration of Osama bin Laden’s death one year ago.

The president’s secret flight to Afghanistan — where he signed off on details for withdrawing U.S. troops from the decadelong war there — was the type of campaign counterpunch that may play out many times in his re-election battle against

Republican Mitt Romney.

Obama began his visit at the same air base where Navy SEALs launched their daring raid on bin Laden’s house in Pakistan.

Timing his pre-dawn speech in Kabul for evening viewing back home, Obama brought attention to his three chief foreign policy achievements: ending the Iraq war roughly as he promised in 2008; killing bin Laden, whose terrorist organization killed nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001; and setting a timetable for ending the

increasingly unpopular Afghanistan war.

Both political parties agree the Nov. 6 election will hinge mainly on the U.S. economy. Before the campaign gets fully engaged, however, Obama is using his presidential prerogatives — and risking new complaints of political exploitation — to make his strongest possible case on military and diplomatic fronts.

“One year ago, from a base here in Afghanistan, our troops launched the opersee OBAMA page 12

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Thousands of protesters in New York demanded an end to income inequality and housing foreclosures.

Police fired tear gas to disperse marchers in Oakland, Calif. And black-clad demonstrators smashed windows in Seattle.

Activists across the U.S. joined in worldwide May Day protests Tuesday, with antiWall Street demonstrators leading the way in some cities as they tried to recap-

ture the enthusiasm that propelled their movement last fall.

While some protesters clashed with police, the melees were far less violent than ones that erupted last fall when the movement was at its peak. Marches and strikes led to a handful of arrests but no major disruptions.

Many of the rallies, which drew activists pushing a variety of causes, also did not

have the same drawing power that gatherings had last year for the Occupy movement or a half-dozen years ago for May Day rallies for immigration reform.

In recent years, activists in the U.S. used May Day to hold rallies for immigrant rights, but the day has been associated for more than a century with workers’ rights and the labor movement both in the U.S. see MAY DAY page 10

NEW YORK (AP) — The fastest growth in U.S. manufacturing in 10 months gave stocks a lift Tuesday and pushed the Dow Jones industrial average to its highest close in more than four years.

Manufacturing expanded last month at the strongest pace since June, according to the Institute for Supply Management.

Orders, hiring and production all rose.

A measure of manufacturing employment also reached a nine-month high, a hopeful sign ahead of Friday’s monthly jobs report.

The manufacturing news jolted stock indexes out of a morning stupor, although the gains waned throughout the afternoon.

The Dow added 65.69 points to 13,279.32, its highest closing mark since Dec. 28, 2007, during the first month of the Great Recession.

“It definitely changed the direction of markets,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank. see STOCKS page 19

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — When a black bear climbed a tree in a central Arkansas city and refused to come down, authorities turned to unconventional rescue tools: bouncy houses.

Foster the Bear — named for the residential street where he holed up in a tree — wouldn’t budge from his branch Monday. So, authorities turned to a local hardware store owner who rents inflatable houses and castles for children’s birthday parties.

They asked him to set up two of the bouncy contraptions beneath the tree. Then, wildlife officials shot the bear with tranquilizer darts.

“He would slide to one side, and we’re like, ‘Oh, oh, oh, he’s going to come down, he’s going to come down,’ “ Conway police spokeswoman La Tresha Woodruff said.

“And then he’d balance himself again.”

Foster finally passed out, but he still didn’t see BEAR page 13

Sheriff Wiggin & Tilton Police Chief Cormier will serve on 5-member panel appointed to review shooting death of Greenland Chief Michael Maloney CONCORD (AP) — Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was taking cover behind his cruiser during a lull in activity when he was shot to death, New Hampshire’s attorney general said Tuesday.

Attorney General Michael Delaney’s description followed a news conference to announce the appointment of a five-member committee to review the April 12 shooting that left Maloney dead and four members of a state drug task force injured. The shooter, Cullen Mutrie, later killed his girlfriend and himself.

“There is a danger inherent in the nature of (police) work,” the attorney general said. “And I think there’s also an obligation on our part in light of that reality, an obligation and a responsibility that when officers are killed or injured we do everything we can as a law enforcement community to learn and to educate ourselves going forward.”

Though authorities have said the officers were trying to execute a search warrant when Maloney died taking heroic measures to help the injured officers, they have not established the exact sequence of events. Authorities are still investigating, Delaney said, while offering several new details about what happened that night.

Delaney said the task force had obtained a “noknock” warrant giving them permission to enter the home without announcing themselves first, but decided not to take that approach. Two uniformed Greenland police officers knocked on the door and identified themselves, he said. Getting no response, members of the drug task force then broke down the door, and were immediately fired upon by Mutrie.

Four were shot, and the other two were able to return fire and spur Mutrie away from the entrance and back into the home, the attorney general said.

“At that time, there was a lull of inactivity when

no shooting occurred in which the officers that were wounded were assisted into vehicles and driven away to safety,” Delaney said. “Chief Maloney positioned himself in a position of cover behind the front right wheel of his marked cruiser and was taking cover behind his wheel, over the hood of his car, looking at the home. And after a period of inactivity, additional gunshots were fired from inside the home, and one of those gunshots struck Chief Maloney in the head resulting in his death.”

Two of the injured officers were treated at the hospital and released soon afterward. Two others were in intensive care, and have since been released.

They were wearing protective vests, Delaney said, but where shot below the neck and above the top edge of their vests.

The committee investigating the shootings is being led by former Nashua Chief Don Conley. Also appointed were Tilton Chief Robert Cormier, former

Hudson Capt. William Pease, Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin and Portsmouth lawyer Steven Roberts.

Among them, the group has expertise in special operations, drug investigations, police standards and training and law enforcement assessment, Delaney said.

“Through this review our citizens can be assured that we will learn from and take away from this tragedy everything we can, and that knowledge will be carried forward to all police officers in the betterment of future law enforcement efforts,” he said.

Though he emphasized that the panel’s mission is not disciplinary — that’s up to the individual departments involved — Delaney said the group will make recommendations as appropriate in a report that includes a factual recitation of the events, identification of applicable policies and procedures and an assessment of the overall operation. No timeline was given, and Delaney said the group will be given all the time and resources it needs.

Sheriff says charges coming in Florida band hazing death

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — At least five people will face criminal charges in the hazing death of a Florida A&M University drum major aboard a band bus in Orlando last fall, authorities said Tuesday.

Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings told The Associated Press that multiple defendants will be charged in 26-year-old Robert Champion’s death, although he refused to say what the charges are.

Prosecutors have built five cases against defendants with charges ranging from misdemeanors to felony charges, said Danielle Tavernier, a spokeswoman for the State Attorney’s Office in Orlando.

She refused to specify the charges pending an announcement by prosecutors on Wednesday.

Prosecutors sometime cluster defendants by case,

meaning the number of defendants could be higher than five, said Bob Dekle, a University of Florida law professor.

The pending charges will bring more scrutiny to a culture of hazing at FAMU and other schools.

Champion’s death was ruled a homicide by medical examiners, and the case has jeopardized the future of FAMU’s legendary marching band and shaken the school’s Tallahassee campus.

“The family’s position is if indeed there are charges tomorrow, it’s been a long time in coming,” Christopher Chestnut, an attorney for Champion’s parents, said Tuesday evening. “It is bittersweet. Obviously it’s comforting to know that someone will be held see HAZING page 8

Give the creep the max John Edwards allegedly misused campaign money to cover a tawdry affair while posing lovey-dovey with his dying wife for the cameras. All this happened in 2008, as the former Democratic senator from North Carolina was running for president. Accused of six felony counts for violating federal election laws, Edwards faces up to 30 years behind bars. Let’s go for the max.

Edwards aide Andrew Young has recounted how he did everything for the boss, from changing light bulbs at his house to claiming paternity of his love child by another campaign worker. Young told the court in Greensboro, N.C., that his love for Edwards clouded his better judgment. Meanwhile, Young’s ex-wife, Cheri, testified on Monday that Edwards knew all about the money being funneled through her family to hide the pregnant Rielle Hunter from public scrutiny.

Elizabeth Edwards wrote that she learned of her husband’s affair early on. Even then, in a book published in 2009, the year before her death, she noted that John “left most of the truth out.” A gruesome betrayal, but that was between husband and wife.

Edwards’ grand infidelity was to all the volunteers who had worked tirelessly for his campaign. It was a slap to the folks who fell under the spell of his hope-filled message.

(His fans chose to ignore that this self-defined “son of a mill worker” lived in baronial splendor.) Even his choice of mistress, the flaky Rielle, expressed scorn for his followers.

Above all, his using a presidential run as a forum for down-market adultery showed contempt for the political process.

Those things are not necessarily illegal. Taking political donations from rich benefactors to keep one’s mistress comfy would be. Attached to Young and his family, Rielle travelled with the group to Aspen and other fancy spots, before they all settled down together in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Here’s Rielle’s classy take on the setup: “Not too bad, considering I was

sleeping in my car a few years ago.”

Master con artists don’t stop at fooling the trusting masses but go on to work over the supposedly sophisticated. Bernard Madoff had his spiel down pat, and so did Edwards.

Andrew Young told the court that when he first heard Edwards speak, “He looked at me like he’d known me forever.” As candidate Edwards became the only Democratic candidate to talk at length about bluecollar fears and the poor, many commentators listened intently.

One columnist following the Edwards campaign in New Hampshire observed, “The people who filled the Bow Town Hall on a slushy Monday morning were neither rich nor poor, but they definitely felt left out.” Clearly intrigued by his populist message, the writer noted, “As Edwards warned the crowd not to ‘trade corporate Republicans for corporate Democrats,’ people nodded.”

That writer would be me.

This guy’s good. He’s real good. In the ongoing trial, he has his elderly parents sitting in the courtroom on kitchen pillows. A homey touch, like when he says to them within earshot of the media, “Are y’all OK?” If I didn’t disapprove of name-calling, I’d call Edwards a creep.

Is Andrew Young, as the Edwards defense insists, a liar who latched onto the politician for the money and power? Did Rielle blackmail him during the campaign, lest she go public with her pregnancy? Was the late Elizabeth Edwards not quite the saint married to a scoundrel, but a co-conspirator in keeping the misdeeds under wraps?

Whatever questionable motives others may have had, they sit low in the shadows of Edwards’ towering badness. Prosecutors have thrown the book at him. May their aim prove perfect.

(A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

Guinta supports Ryan budget that guts the Medicaid program To the editor, Congressman Frank Guinta was wrong on a number of things he recently told citizens and a reporter in Laconia, but one thing was particularly bad. Someone expressed concern about Medicaid costs, and Congressman Guinta said it was largely because of the Affordable Care Act. That is totally wrong. The cuts that New Hampshire is currently facing have to do with state-level budgeting decisions. The Medicaid changes under the health care law don’t even start until 2014, and either Congressman Guinta does not know the facts or he is trying to fool the people and the media once again. Please see:

assess-medicaid-cuts Congressman Guinta does not care about Medicaid anyway. Look at what the Ryan budget that he voted for does to it. It guts the program. These cuts will not only hurt poor children they will also hurt nursing home patients as a majority of them are on Medicaid.

How will their families be able to pay for them? Why didn’t Congressman Guinta tell his constituents that he voted to slash Medicaid in the Ryan budget instead of falsely claiming it was President Obama? It’s because he knows it’s a cruel vote against the poor and middle class and he has no defense for his actions.

LETTERS If you want a life of poverty and dependency, re-elect Obama To the editor, If President Obama is re-elected, as the April 25 Concord Monitor editorial “Cutting food stamps to feed the rich” apparently assumes, then it is right, the Ryan budget will not provide all the food stamps, unemployment, and other assistance that will be needed.

President Obama’s policies are an effective war on jobs, killing approximately 5-million jobs in a little more than three years. He has targeted jobs across the board except union, government, and lawyer jobs, and jobs in green energy, which often vanish anyway despite massive taxpayer subsidies.

Even Obama’s fawning media has reported jobs killed by President Obama’s liberal policies in mining, drilling, manufacturing, energy production, health care, farming, leisure, etc. Imagine how many more jobs his liberal policies will destroy when President Obama isn’t concerned with re-election.

Pursuing his “equality” goals, President Obama apparently wants the equality of poverty, squalor, and depression “enjoyed” by people in countries that have more fully implemented his policies, e.g., Cuba, North Korea, China, before it encouraged free enterprise, and the, now imploded, Soviet Union and countries under its control.

President Obama and economic experts agree that our financially irresponsible path cannot continue. We see our future in Greece where debt driven austerity causes riots, joblessness,

depression, and a doubling of the suicide rate. Yet, although America’s per person government debt is greater than Greece’s, all the Obama administration does is condemn the Ryan budget without offering a viable solution.

The real question is what happens when our country can no longer tax or borrow the money needed to pay our commitments? The choices are few, massive taxation can temporarily reduce some hardship, but massive job cuts, massive cuts in government spending including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, housing assistance, etc., and/or massive inflation where the government pays people in increasingly worthless money are unavoidable.

The only way to avoid these unavoidable consequences of President Obama’s policies is to elect a president in November who is committed to job creation rather than job destruction — a president who knows that Americans don’t want food stamps, unemployment, or welfare. Americans want good jobs in a growing economy so each person has the opportunity to strive for his or her individual dream.

The choice in November is clear. If you want a life of poverty, dependency, and depression, re-elect President Obama. If you want the opportunity to work for your dream then elect Mitt Romney whose policies will jump start our economy, resulting in good jobs and increasing opportunities for Americans.

Learn about Transition: from oil dependency to local resilience To the editor, Operations like the Bakken and Marcellus Shale Fields have environmental consequences that could outweigh the benefit of the relatively few jobs they create.

The May 4 issue of The Week magazine reports that “In 2009, 50 minor quakes rattled the center of the continent; last year, 134 did.” Water supplies have been affected, as shown in the movie “Gasland”, and on the national news, where kitchen tap water was ignited with a lighter.

LETTERS N.H. mental health system needs to finally get out of the 50s To the editor, I have lived in New Hampshire all my life. My father was severely mentally ill back in the 1940s to the 1980s. In the 1950s conditions at the New Hampshire State Hospital were deplorable. Conditions in the wards were unsafe and patients had no rights. Families and individuals were in turmoil. Sometimes police and court intervention was necessary.

In the 1980s and 90s the stigma of mental illness was beginning to fade and services were improving.

Now it is 2012, and you would think with all advances in understanding of mental health issues and the impact that it has on individuals, families and society, that funding for treatment and services would be available and on par with physical illnesses.

But, sadly, this is not the case. What has happened is that representatives in Concord have seen fit to cut the budget of Health and Human Services and reduce reimbursement rates to community mental health centers such as Genesis Behavioral Health.

The Philbrook Children’s Mental Health facility in Concord has been closed. The number of beds available for adults patients at New Hampshire Hospital have been reduced to make room for the children in need.

Creating a serious shortage overall.

It seems like we are falling back to the dark days of the 1950s, where the essential needs of the mentally ill are ignored or discarded. Families and the community suffer the consequences of people who are unable to successfully and safely function in society. Police are now taking more and more calls for situations that involve people acting out and potentially posing life threatening situations. Just listen and see the recent news headlines with increased crime, crisis situations and shootings.

It’s not just the bad economy.

I can speak from some direct personal experiences. Six months ago, I went the Lakes Regional General Hospital (LRGH) Emergency Department for pains in my chest. As soon as the emergency staff could, they set me up with immediate care. I had an EKG, chest X-rays, and blood work.

The staff did their best to make sure I wasn’t suffering from a heart attack.

Thankfully, I was fine. Soon the doctor arrived to give me his prognosis and advice. I received the best of care yet when it comes to mental health it is a different story as you will read below.

I have been supportive of two young adults that I have known for several years. They suffer from mental illnesses with diagnoses of bipolar and obsessive compulsive disorders. They are, at times, very depressed. One night, last fall my friend who had just returned back to N.H., was very despondent. His girlfriend had just left him. His family had turned their backs on him. He felt that he had lost all his friends. He was suicidal, and it was not his first time.

Several years past, he tried to jump onto I-93 from the overpass but a friend

pulled him off the railing. This time, as I was concerned for his safety, I took him to the ER at LRGH. On the intake sheet he wrote, “I want to kill myself.” It was late, so I went home expecting he would receive the help he needed. Instead, he waited over two hours for a doctor to see him. Today’s psychiatric threshold is so high, basically you have to actively be trying to kill yourself or harm someone else in order to receive services or a psychiatric evaluation.

Essentially, he was told was there was nothing that could be done. He left the ER and walked for two hours back to my home. Because he had no insurance he was told he could call Genesis Behavioral Health, but there would be a lengthy waiting period before he could have an appointment with a psychiatrist for an initial evaluation, attributable in part to reduced funding for community mental health centers and a lack of psychiatrists in New Hampshire and across the country.

On a recent occasion, another friend called me saying he was coming to get me and said he was done with life. I was so concerned I called the police.

They found him incoherent on the side of the road. If it wasn’t for the police trying to console him and not charge him with criminal threatening ,who knows what might have happened.

They took to him the ER at LRGH, his second police escorted visit. Again, he waited a long time. The attending doctor was unable to do anything as he didn’t pose an immediate threat to himself. And, if there was such a threat, then there was likely a three day waiting period for a bed at New Hampshire Hospital. The doctor’s hands were tied. LRGH currently has only geriatric psychiatric beds. So, at 3 a.m., this young man was released.

He walked the streets of Laconia until early morning.

I told a friend at church about the experience of these young men. He told me a horrific story of his 12-yearold niece. She was despondent. She cut herself on the wrist. She was evaluated and was admitted to one of only 24 children’s beds at New Hampshire Hospital. The children’s ward is adjacent to the adult wing. While she was receiving treatment from the dedicated and caring staff at the hospital, patients from the adult wing would wander by or act inappropriately in the presence of young patients. I’m sorry, but this is serious and again reminds me of the conditions from the dark days of the 1950s.

What is it going to take for those in Concord and Washington who are cutting the budget with their social engineering, and religious agendas, that say only those with a moral compass, fortitude and financial means, to deserve the dignity of compassionate care and services? Will it take a murder? An assassination attempt?

The loss of another life to suicide? before something is done.

LETTERS Please join us on Thursday for a National Day of Prayer Hour To the editor, I felt moved to write this letter to the citizens of the Lakes Region. This letter is to address what we need to do on May 3, 2012. This day is The National Day of Prayer. One Voice Ministries will be presenting “Hour of Power” starting at 7 p.m. at InterLakes High School Auditorium. A lot of people tell you that it is best to read the New Testament part of the Bible.

This is a important part of the Bible because it tells of Jesus’s love and salvation. Unfortunately, the Old Testament tends to get ignored because it can be a little boring at times, with all of the begats, etc. I’m telling you though there is much more to it than that. There is so much more. This is history! There is wisdom for us there and some of the most beautiful praise songs ever written recorded.

What does the Old Testament have to do with the National Day of Prayer though? It shows us what can happen when we turn away from God. Israel

prospered and was victorious when they were fully devoted to God, but whenever they pursued other God’s, they lost battles and were taken into captivity. There were plagues, famines, droughts, etc., as well.

Wake up America, as we are now pushing away from God, too. We have taken God out of our government, our schools, and families have turned away from Him. In order for America to prosper and become the great nation we once were, we need to turn back to him. God says this in two Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wrinkled ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sings and heal their land.”

Lakes Region, let us find God again and let a revival in this land of America start with us. Please join us May 3rd!

Do liberals want as many people as possible voting, or not?

To the editor, Lynn Chong, adjunct indoctrinator at Plymouth State, wants the residents of Sanbornton to vote against the SB-2 form of government which allows shift workers, people who are out of state for various reasons, the elderly, students who have night classes and all others who can’t attend Town Meeting to vote in the privacy of a voting booth or by absentee ballot on Election Day. It also removes the intimidation factor which is alive and well at all Town Meetings. The main reason liberals are always against SB-2 is it doesn’t allow them to control town policy by packing Town Meeting with people who agree with their agenda.

The hypocrisy of this is the fact that these same people, Lynn included, are against requiring a voter to produce a picture I.D. before they vote. They claim the reason they are against it is that would prevent the poor, the elderly, students and others from being able to vote. I think you get the picture.

Lynn, you and your fellow liberals and progressives (or have you come up with a new title du jour?) can’t have it both ways. Do you want people to have a voice in their government or don’t you. I think I know the answer to that and the answer is, only people that agree with you.

Let’s keep town meeting, the source and school of democracy To the editor, I am writing to encourage Sanbornton voters to reject SB-2 on Tuesday May 8th. A study by the nonpartisan N.H. Center for Public Policy, which analyzed SB-2 after five years of use, concluded: “Additional legislation is needed to make SB-2 fulfill basic requirements of fairness and accountability. Until such legislation is passed, town should reject SB-2.”

Lord James Bryce wrote in his analysis of American democracy, that

of all the ways of governing, the town meeting was “admittedly the best. It is the most educative to the citizens who bear a part of it. The town meeting has been not only the source, but the school of democracy.”

I hear from people in other communities who not only agree with Lord James, but regret their town having adopted SB-2.

To the editor, The Town of Sanbornton operates under the Municipal Budget Law, Chapter 32. The Budget Committee must hold a public hearing on the proposed budget. At the conclusion of the hearing, based on input from attendees, the Budget Committee can make budgetary adjustments.

This year at the conclusion of the hearing, without any previous disclosure to the voters, a minority of members voted to give each selectman a

$1,000 raise. With only three out of seven voting in favor, you will find the raises buried deep in the operating budget. It is only at Town Meeting, where you the voters, acting as the legislative body, can challenge elected officials and take corrective action.

Imagine the shenanigans that would take place if Sanbornton ever adopted Senate Bill 2?

LETTERS I want to continue to be a voice of reason for Town of Sanbornton To the editor, To the residents of Sanbornton: I thank you for the opportunity to serve as your representative on the Selectboard for the last year. I am again asking for your support at the polls in the upcoming election on Tuesday May 8th. It has been a privilege to serve with my fellow selectmen and to work with them to provide well-informed and reasonable direction. After serving this year and experiencing for myself the amount of time and research which must be gathered to make good choices I have chosen to run for a full term on the board and offer this experience to the position.

For the last year I have served as the selectman’s representative to the Planning Board, the Budget Committee and as liaison to the Fire Department. On several occasions I had the opportunity to attend workshops to gain information in the area of welfare and human resources. I have been involved in a number of town committees in the last 13 years including: Farmer’s Market, Old Home Day Committee (as Chair & fundraiser), Budget Committee, Energy Committee and the Historical Society. In addition I helped to establish the town Food Pantry, the fiber arts group, painting/artist group and most recently the Community Garden. As part of the county I have served on the Belknap County UNH Co-operative Extension Advisory Council and continue to work as a member of the

Master Gardener Program.

After being elected to the Budget Committee I took advantage of courses regarding the budget process, warrant articles and other financial aspects of the town operations. These were offered to members by the Local Government Center.

Evolving over a 30-year period, my background includes customer service, business, accounting, coordinating and leadership skills as a youth program director. As the oldest in a family of seven children, I have learned many necessary skills: organization, leadership, flexibility, honesty and the ability to compromise. I believe these qualities will continue to be of help to me in the office of selectman.

I would like to continue to be the “voice of reason” I am not afraid to ask the tough questions in sorting out the areas of needs and wants. As we continue, as families, taxpayers and a community to work through the current economic climate there will most certainly be some difficult decisions to make in order to maintain a healthy financial position for our town and it’s residents. I will listen to both sides of an issue to form an educated decision and balance the requests of our town departments with what our taxpayers can afford.

I thank you for your consideration.

Fish & Game targeted because it promotes barbaric trapping To the editor, About 20 animal rights activists protested fur trapping on Saturday, April 21, in Concord, just outside the Discover Wild New Hampshire Day Earth Day event.

At the “trapper’s cabin” display at Discover Wild NH Day, trappers showed many dead animals that were killed by horribly cruel and indiscriminate traps, but not a trap was in sight.

The steel leghold, toothed jawed leghold (still legal in N.H.), Conibear and snare traps were all hidden from the public.

The trappers, though, displayed the product of their trapping, dozens of fur pelts taken from animals.

The Fish and Game Department was targeted by the activists because the agency promotes fur trapping even though the extreme barbaric treatment

of animals would be considered cruelty under our N.H. Cruelty Statute, if the animals were domestic. For example Fish and Game does not regulate at all how a trapper kills his victims. Drowning, bludgeoning and suffocation are all popular kill methods of trapped animals even though these methods are considered inhumane by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Activists will continue to pursue an end to fur trapping because of the immense and unnecessary suffering it inflicts on animals, targets and non-targets alike, unjustifiable in a modern society.

Please contact the NH Animal Rights League for more information.

Police identify Laconia man killed in Meredith truck crash on Monday

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Police here announced yesterday that Robert Wilkinson, Jr., a 66 year-old man from Laconia, died in a motor vehicle collision on Route 25 on Monday morning.

His identity had been withheld until police could notify Wilkinson’s family.

Wilkinson was pronounced dead on the scene after the pick-up truck he was driving drifted into the path of an oncoming logging truck.

Officer Philip McLaughlin said yesterday that police still don’t know what caused Wilkinson to drift from his lane. “All we know is he crossed the center line,” McLaughlin said. “All the witnesses said his pick-up just swerved into the side of the logging truck.”

Although the driver of the logging truck, R. Preston Anderson of Meredith, attempted to avoid the collision, Wilkinson’s pick-up struck the logging first at its front, driver’s-side wheel, then con-

tinued to contact the truck along the side of its fully-loaded trailer.

A third vehicle, an Audi driven by Frank Spinella of Bow, was damaged when it was struck by debris resulting from the crash. Neither Spinella nor Anderson was injured, and police do not expect to charge anyone in connection with the accident.

In his obituary, Wilkinson is described as a Laconia native and resident of Pleasant Street. A 1964 graduate of Laconia High School, he earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maine in 1969 and served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He leaves behind a wife of 46 years, a daughter, two sons, and a brother and sister-in-law.

The owner Yankee Energy Services, his obituary describes Wilkinson as a generous, artistic and playful man who delighted in surprising his grandchildren by setting confetti-dumping “booby traps” or by wearing a gorilla suit to serve them breakfast.

HAZING from page 3 accountable for Robert’s murder, but it’s also disconcerting to think of the impact of the future of these students. This is just unfortunate all the way around.”

Chestnut said family members are disappointed that authorities didn’t give them enough advance notice to travel from Georgia to Florida to attend a press conference Wednesday to announce the results of the investigation. But he said the family is also “thankful there is some movement on this case after five months of delay.”

No arrests had been made by Tuesday afternoon. Both Demings, attending a meeting in Tallahassee, and Tavernier, in Orlando, said the arrests would likely take place in multiple jurisdictions.

The medical examiner’s office in Orlando found last year that Champion had bruises to his chest, arms, shoulder and back and internal bleeding that caused him to go into shock, which killed him.

Detectives say Champion was hazed on Nov. 19 by other band members on a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel, following a performance. Witnesses told emergency dispatchers that Champion was vomiting before

he was found unresponsive aboard the bus. Hazing that involves bodily harm is a third-degree felony in Florida.

Champion’s parents have sued the company that owns the bus where the hazing took place. In a civil suit, Champion’s family alleges that the bus driver stood guard outside the bus while the hazing took place. The bus company owner initially said the bus driver was helping other band members with their equipment when the hazing took place.

Witnesses in the Champion case have told his parents he might have been targeted because he opposed the culture of hazing they say has long existed in the band, the parents’ attorney has said. It has also been suggested to them that Champion was targeted because he was gay and a candidate for chief drum major.

In a January interview with the AP, Champion’s parents dismissed the notion that his sexual orientation brought on the attack, which was to their knowledge the first time he’d ever been hazed.

“The main reason that we heard is because he was against hazing, and he was totally against it,” Champion’s father, Robert Champion Sr. of Decatur, Ga., said in an interview.

Laconia schools eligible for up to $80k in federal reimbursements for communication improvements

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The School District is eyeing up to $80,000 in federal reimbursements for technology projects it will be undertaking as part of the Huot Center building project at the High School.

Eligible for up to 80-percent E-rate reimbursements are a new $37,000 phone system for the school and $63,000 for data and phone to support the upgraded phone-data infrastructure, which will see telephones in all 90 high school classrooms.

Jeff Twombly, Laconia school district IT coordinator, told members of the Laconia School Board’s Facilities/CIP committee yesterday that bids have already been received for those projects, which will be eligible for reimbursements in the 2012-13 school years, and that they will be undertaken at the same time as the high school renovations and additions which are part of the building project.

Another project, a new $16,446 phone system for Woodland Height School, may also be eligible and an E-rate application is being filed for the 2011-12 school year.

He said another technology project for $21,200 which will include all wiring and two-way speaker components to connect all 90 LHS classrooms into the intercom system which will come from the Huot renovation project, is not eligible for the E-rate discount.

The E-rate discount program is part of the the Universal Service Fund which was created by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and began distributing funding in 1998. Telecommunications carriers pay into a fund, which is then used to subsidize telecommunications and data communications for school districts. The program has provided almost $13-billion to schools and libraries since 1998.

Subsidies (called “discounts”) are a percentage of a district’s expenditures on telecommunications and Internet access and the level of discount ranges from 20- to 90-percent, and is based on the percentage of a school district’s total enrollment which is low-income. Most school districts use the percentage of students eligible for the National School Lunch Program to determine the discount.

“We’re looking at 80-percent of the $100,000 for the high school project and keeping our fingers crossed on the Woodland Heights phone system.’’ said Ed Emond, school district business administrator.

He said that there was some element of risk in pro-

ceeding with the installations before the applications are actually approved but that it is a risk worth taking.

Funds have already been identified within the School District’s budget to pay for the work before they are eligible for the reimbursements.

Twombly said that the projects have to be undertaken as part of the Huot project because the high school’s current phone system and the wiring infrastructure can’t handle the increase in demand that the project will create.

Committee members Beth Arsenault and Mal Murray both said that they would support the expenditures when they come before the full School Board.

During the school board meeting which followed city chess champions, Justine Brown, Laconia High School; Garrett Pitt, Laconia Middle School and Ryan Paiva, elementary school winner, were honored.

The board also heard presentations from four Laconia Middle School teacher leaders.

— Carleen Steckert said that five students have won state History Day honors; Guilienan Kevlin, first place, individual; Kayla Phelps, second place, individual; and Madison Shoemaker, Taylor Sullivan and Izzy Kevlin, second place group, and that all will attend national finals in Maryland in June.

— Amanda Babcock, who has revived the middle school drama program said that 74 students took part in recent Willie Wonka production. Ben Gorewitz, an 8th grader who has been active in all three productions during his middle school years, said that the drama program has helped him gain confidence and to make good friends in school.

— Kate Shumway-Pitt, who started the Team America Rocket Challenge program, said that the students performed well in their first competition, with their rocket reaching 1,241 feet, the highest of any competitor.

— Kerri Reynolds, school nurse described the many initiatives underway, including reviving a school district wide dental health program and the LMS School Care Closet, where eyeglasses, cell phones and dental hygiene kits are available for students.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

TRIMMING & REMOVAL OF TREES ON SCENIC ROADS Application from Public Service Company of New Hampshire (applicant) for consent from the Sanbornton Planning Board to conduct trimming and/or removal of trees along certain “scenic roads”.

As per NH RSA 231:157-158, the Sanbornton Planning Board will hold a

Public Hearing at 7:15 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at Sanbornton Town Office 573 Sanborn Road (NH Route 132), Sanbornton NH

to consider a request from Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) to trim and/or remove trees and brush adjacent to and beneath PSNH power lines along certain “scenic roads” in the Town of Sanbornton.

Scenic roads affected by this application include the following Town roads or portions of said roads: • Brook Road (Central and Eastern Portion) • Hale Road (Eastern Portion) • Perkins Road (Western Portion) • Tower Hill Road (Southern Portion) Property owners located adjacent to the affected “scenic roads” are invited to attend the Public Hearing in order to obtain information concerning the proposed tree cutting/removal project and to provide testimony to the Planning Board.

Property owners having any questions may contact the Sanbornton Town Planner on Tuesdays or Thursdays at the above-listed telephone number.

Following the Public Hearing, the Planning Board shall consider granting written consent to the applicant to conduct such trimming and removal of trees.

CIRCUS from page one secured the dates and did not want to forfeit them. The circus, he said, provides a step-by-step manual for sponsors. “It should be relatively simple this year,” he said. “We cleared most of the hurdles last year. And we can tell you what you shouldn’t do because we already did it.”

Jim Royal, general manager of the Oklahoma-based big-top circus, said that the role of the sponsor, apart from working with city officials to stage the event, is to promote the circus. In return, the sponsor receives a share of the proceeds from ticket sales. The sponsor receives 10-percent of tickets sold on the day of the show and a larger share of advance sales — 20-percent of the first 200 adult tickets at $10 apiece and 40-percent of all other adult tickets and 25-percent of children’s tickets at $6 apiece.

Vachon explained that the sponsor

pays $290 in advance and bears the expense of municipal services, particularly the presence of safety and emergency personnel, but could expect to pocket between $5,000 and $9,000 from the event. The big-top tent has a capacity of 1,100 and he said that four of the six shows last year sold out and the other two drew about 85-percent of capacity. “I guarantee you will have more money after the circus then you did before it came to town,” he said.

Royal, who has been with the circus since 1966, said that 98-percent of the 400 shows the circus performs each 37 week season are sponsored by nonprofit corporations. “Having sponsors reduces our costs and benefits our sponsors while cementing relationships with the communities we visit,” he said, adding that the circus has been performing in many of the same cities and towns for nearly three decades.

MANUFACTURING from page one

Thomson, general manager of Titeflex Aerospace in Laconia, said manufacturers themselves need to do a better job of marketing their companies to schools. “We need to be more proactive in asking educators for things,” he said.

Carmen Lorentz, executive director of the Belknap County Economic Development Council, acknowledged that schools need to do a better job of providing students with the mathematical and other technical skills needed by today’s manufacturing businesses. But she noted that school officials today feel so overwhelmed by various state and federal mandates that other concerns do not get the attention they deserve.

Scott Davis, director of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center at Laconia High School, however said there are signs of progress, noting that the center has ongoing partnerships with many local industries. But he also agreed with other speakers that “schools need to make connections between concepts and skill sets.”

Guinta told the group that manufacturing firms across the state employ a total of 66,000 people and that manufacturing accounts for 10.5-percent of the state’s economic output.

Gary Groleau, senior divisional manager at New Hampshire Ball Bearings, one of he 30 people in the audience, said that it was important the state set specific target for the growth of the manufacturing in the state over the next five years.

Guinta said that although there are a number of initiatives that are addressing the state of manufacturing, there were no specific goals in place at this time. He said that whoever succeeds Gov. John Lynch should make that a priority.

Manchester Republican said, “I think of when my dad took me down to the garage to get his car fixed.”

That prompted Peter Koch, executive director of the New Hampshire Council for Professional Education, to remark, “Cars are computers now.”

Several times during the two-hour program the participants noted that manufacturing in New Hampshire has changed. No longer is it high volume assembly-line output in dirty, noisy factories. Rather is it is highly sophisticated computer-driven production of components used in aerospace, automotive and medical applications.

Despite this change, there is still a negative stigma attached to working in the manufacturing field.

State Community College System Chancellor Ross Gittell said that while the decline of manufacturing jobs from New Hampshire that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s was largely due to less costly foreign competition, he said the relatively slow recovery from the current recession is due partly to a disconnect between schools and industries.

“We are losing opportunity because of a lack of appropriate skilled workers,” Gittell said, noting that New Hampshire Ball Bearings has been unable to fill 50-plus jobs because of the mismatch between the skills many students learn and what businesses in the area need.

“Employers and schools need to work more closely together,” said Koch. “These jobs are not dirty. But we are not getting that message out.”

Carl Thibodeau, owner of Tee Enterprises, a precision machining company in Conway, faulted schools in his area for doing very little to tell students about the opportunities that companies like his offer. But Graham MAY DAY from page 2 and elsewhere.

Across the world on Tuesday, protests drew tens of thousands of demonstrators into the streets from the Philippines to Spain. They demanded everything from wage increases to an end to cuts in education, health care and other austerity measures.

The U.S. protests were the most visible organizing effort by anti-Wall Street groups since the movement’s encamp-

The major developments include: — In Oakland, the scene of several violent clashes between activists and police in recent months, the situation threatened to boil over again when police fired tear gas, sending hundreds of demonstrators scrambling.

Officers also fired “flash-bang” grenades to disperse protesters converging on police as they tried to make arrests, police said. Four people were taken into custody.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, May 2, 2012— Page 11

DOG from page one determine what further steps can be taken to ensure the dog is kept under the control of a responsible owner.

He said that apart from the attack last week, the same dog was involved in a violent incident in May, 2010.

According to the police report the dog is owned by Stephen J. Wing of Cotton Hill Road, Gilford.

Sergeant Eric Bredbury said yesterday when a Belmont police officer contacted Wing not long after the attack occurred last Wednesday he denied that the dog had been outside of the house that day. Bredbury said that Officer Kevin Baron made several unsuccessful attempts to speak with Wing before Sergeant Dustin Parent and Officer Kristopher Kloetz reached him at his home late at night over the weekend. The officers determined that the dog was not registered with the town of Gilford and its rabies vaccination had lapsed.

Bredbury said that the dog has been quarantined in the home, where it is subject to “periodic inspections.” At the same time. Wing has been fined under the state statute governing dogs deemed “a menace, a nuisance or vicious,” which includes a dog that “bites, attacks, or preys on game animals, domestic animals, fowl or human beings.” The fine for the first offense is $100 and $400 for the second or subsequent offense committed within a year of the first.

Keenan noted that the statute further provides that if the behavior of a vicious dog “presents a threat to public safety, immediate district court of municipal court proceedings may be initiated” in place of a fine.

Celeste Woodbury of Durrell Mountain Road was walking from Belmont into Gilford on Cotton Hill Road about 4 p.m. last Wednesday when the German Shepherd or mixed breed came upon her from behind, biting her buttocks and left hip. She was was treated at the emergency department of Lakes Region General Hospital and said yesterday that she had returned to the hospital for further treatment of the injury to her hip.

Keenan said another woman was set upon, scratched and bitten by another dog on Old Lake Shore Road last weekend. He urged all dog owners to make sure their dogs are under control and keep their registrations and vaccinations up to date.

“We will prosecute to the fullest extent possible any attacks on people or animals,” he said.

— Michael Kitch from preceding page Earlier, some protesters tried to force businesses to shut down for not observing calls for a “general strike.”

— In Seattle, black-clad protesters used sticks to smash small downtown windows and ran through the streets disrupting traffic. Police have made at least three arrests.

While much smaller in scale, the mayhem was reminiscent of the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in the city that caused widespread damage to stores and forced the cancellation of some WTO events.

Authorities said many of the most violent protesters were trying to hide in the larger crowd by shedding their all-black clothes after they had caused damage with things like rocks, hammers and tire irons.

— In New York, hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters and their supporters spilled out onto Fifth Avenue in a confrontation with police amid citywide May Day protests, while thousands later gathered peacefully in Union Square.

The group had promised the day would mark a spring revival of their movement.

Occupy organizer Mark Bray said the mood had changed since the group’s first organized events late last year. “There was a sense of novelty to Occupy in October,” he said. “Today is more celebratory, and nostalgic.”

Marchers briefly flooded the avenue and blocked traffic before police in riot gear pushed them back onto the sidewalks. The group chanted: “We are the people. We are united!”

— In Chicago, about 2,000 activists marched through the city to demand immigration reform and greater protections for workers.

Troop 55 gets hands dirty in Center Harbor Boy Scout Troop #55, which includes scouts from Meredith, Center Harbor and Bristol, spent Thursday morning gardening in Center Harbor village. Working under the guidance of master gardener Helen Heiner, the scouts dug up perennials planted around the town hall and relocated them to the town’s library and beach. The plants were moved so they wouldn’t be destroyed when the town hall is renovated.

Shown here in the first row, left to right, are Ben Jaques, John Vaughn, Connor Sullivan, Jacob Dodge and Keira Ray. In the back row are Matthew Sundius, Ryan Welch, Helen Heiner, Patrick Welch, Jeff Vaughn, Corbin Clapp, J.W. Cantwell and Bryson Eldridge. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

OBAMA from page 2 ation that killed Osama bin Laden,” Obama said in his 10-minute speech in front of empty armored personnel carriers. “The goal that I set - to defeat al Qaeda, and deny it a chance to rebuild - is within reach.”

Republicans, and even some liberal allies, said Obama’s team went too far last week in releasing a campaign video suggesting Romney would not have ordered the risky nighttime raid on bin Laden’s suspected compound. But some Democratic strategists defended the strategy.

Obama “is in an unusually strong position, thanks to keeping his promises on Afghanistan and Iraq, overseeing the killing of Osama bin Laden and otherwise keeping America strong and secure,” said Doug Hattaway, who worked for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign against Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary. “The economy will remain top of the list for

most people,” Hattaway said, “but it definitely helps to highlight his successes in this area.”

Vice President Joe Biden launched the political argument last week.

“Thanks to President Obama, bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive,” Biden said in a campaign speech. “You have to ask yourself, if Gov. Romney had been president, could he have used the same slogan — in reverse?”

The double-barreled taunt hit Romney’s criticism of the administration’s auto industry bailout and the mixed signals Romney gave in 2007 about the lengthy hunt for bin Laden.

Romney first told The Associated Press that it was not worth “moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person.” He later said of bin Laden, “We’ll move everything to get him,” but see next page

BEAR from page 2 come down from his perch. Eventually, firefighters turned a hose on him until he tumbled down onto the edge of the inflatables below.

The bear, about a year old, wasn’t hurt, though he did land in between a blow-up castle and the other inflatable house — kind of “like if you get something stuck between the wall and the bed,” as Woodruff put it.

Spectators who had been watching the bear in the tree for hours cheered and clapped, Woodruff said.

“Foster was fine, just knocked out,” she said.

Wildlife officials plan to release the bear somewhere in the Ozark Mountains.

Police said the bear’s big-city adventure in Conway, about 30 miles north of Little Rock, started before he

moseyed up the tree on Foster Drive.

Someone had spotted the bear in a different tree on a nearby street before dawn Monday.

“Somehow, he crawled down out of the tree without them seeing him and got away,” Woodruff said.

Then, he managed to climb into another tree and inspire a Twitter feed, where someone posted updates — from the bear’s perspective — into the night.

“You ever have that dream where you’re falling and then you wake up with a dart in your butt?” one post read.

Another tweet summed up the bear’s day out.

“The cops want to shoot me,” one post read. “Fire dept says I’m too big for their cat getter-downer and 75 townies are below cheering my name.”

from preceding page it’s not “all about one person.”

Romney said this week “of course” he would have approved the raid on bin Laden’s compound. “Even Jimmy Carter would have given that order,” he said.

Democrats said the mention of Carter underscored precisely the political risk Obama was willing to take. A 1980 Carter-approved attempt to rescue U.S. hostages in Tehran ended in disaster in an Iranian desert, with helicopters destroyed, eight servicemen dead and the United States deeply embarrassed.

“It’s very important for people to understand that this was a gutsy political call,” said former Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Va., who now heads the Center for American Progress Action Fund. Facing conflicting predictions about the bin Laden raid’s chances for

success, Obama showed “a combination of deliberation and decisiveness” that Americans like, Perriello said.

Some Republicans, however, have sharply criticized the president’s references to bin Laden’s death.

“Barack Obama is not only trying to score political points by invoking Osama bin Laden, he is doing a shameless end-zone dance to help himself get re-elected,” said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who lost to Obama in 2008.

Writer Arianna Huffington, usually an Obama ally, joined in. She told “CBS This Morning”: “Using the Osama bin Laden assassination, killing, the great news that we had a year ago, in order to say basically that Obama did it and Romney might not have done it ... to turn it into a campaign ad is one of the most despicable things you can do.”

Pierce leads Rondo-less Celtics to series tying 87-80 win in Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) — Paul Pierce knocked down the free throws to clinch it, then dropped to a knee near midcourt.

He wasn’t planning on Tebowing, but it just felt right.

With a stunning performance, Pierce single-handedly led the Boston Celtics to a playoff win — even without their floor leader.

Pierce battled through another tough shooting night to score 36 points and the Celtics wiped out Atlanta’s 11-point lead in the second half, stunning the Hawks 87-80 on Tuesday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference series.

Boston heads home for Game 3 on Friday night tied 1-1. Rajon Rondo will be back for the Celtics in that one, his shorthanded team having claimed the homecourt edge even while he served a one-game suspension for bumping a ref in the postseason opener.

Pierce made sure the point guard wasn’t missed, outscoring the Hawks all by himself over the last 15:08.

“I have a lot of experience, a lot of confidence from being in those moments,” Pierce said. “You believe in yourself, your coach believes in you, your team believes in you, it’s a combination of all those things.”

Pierce scored Boston’s first nine points but struggled mightily through the second and third quarters. He came through when the Celtics really needed him, especially with the Rondo-less offense a bit out of sync and Ray Allen sitting out again with an injured right ankle.

Down the stretch, the Celtics simplified things: Give the ball to Pierce and get out of the way.

“Paul was great,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “The only way we were going to win a game like this without Ray and Rondo was if Paul had a game like this.”

After making a couple of foul shots with just over

a minute remaining to clinch it, Pierce paused on his way back to the bench to copy the move named after NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, sinking to a knee and bowing his head for a brief prayer in the middle of the court.

“You just want to thank God for putting you in those positions,” Pierce said. “It wasn’t pre-scripted.

It just came to me.”

The Hawks appeared to be in control when they pushed out to a 65-54 lead late in the third quarter.

But Boston sliced it to 66-61 by the end of the period, and Pierce led a dominating fourth.

In wiping out the double-figure deficit, Pierce out-

Red Sox rally in 9th but come up short against A’s BOSTON (AP) — Jarrod Parker scattered four hits over 6 2-3 innings and picked up his first major league win as the Oakland Athletics stopped a three-game losing streak by beating the Boston Red Sox 5-3 on Tuesday night.

Jemile Weeks ended on 0-for-12 slump with a leadoff single and finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored for the A’s, who evened the three-game series at 1-all on a frigid night at Fenway Park.

Oakland scored the first five runs and provided plenty of security for Parker (1-0), who was making just his third start in the majors.

Parker was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento last Wednesday and got a no-decision against Chicago that night. He took the mound again Tuesday and shut down a Boston lineup that racked up 11 runs on 11 hits the night before. Parker struck out four, walked two and hit a batter before getting pulled in the seventh inning.

Boston starter Felix Doubront (1-1) wasn’t nearly

scored the Hawks all by himself, 18-15, including 13 points in the final quarter. That was more than he had in all of Game 1, when Atlanta held Pierce to 12 points on 5-of-19 shooting.

“We expected him to come out and be aggressive offensively,” Hawks coach Larry Drew said. “He got going early.”

The Celtics were up 74-72 when a quick spurt essentially finished the Hawks, especially when Josh Smith went out late in the game with a sprained left knee.

Joe Johnson turned it over, part of another tough game for the Hawks star, sparking a fast break that see CELTICS page 19

as effective. The left-hander threw 30 pitches in the first inning alone and struggled through four innings. He struck out eight, but also allowed six hits, walked two and threw two wild pitches while allowing five runs.

The Red Sox had just four hits until Cody Ross led off the ninth with a double to left off of Grant Balfour. Marlon Byrd singled with one out, Punto walked to load the bases for Mike Aviles, who lined a single to center and cut Oakland’s lead to 5-3.

Jordan Norberto came in for Oakland and got the save, striking out Lars Anderson and getting Dustin Pedroia to ground out to second.

David Ortiz, who was hitting .543 at home, went 0-for-4 and saw his average drop from .405 to .386.

Pedroia was the only player to score on Parker. He led off the fourth with a single, advanced to second on a wild pitch and came home on back-to-back fielder’s choices to cut Oakland’s lead to 5-1.

CELTICS from page 14 ended with a give-and-go from Avery Bradley to Pierce for a dunk. After Jeff Teague missed badly on a jumper, Pierce came down and hit his first 3-pointer of the series after missing his 10, stretching the lead to 79-72 with 3½ minutes left.

The Hawks called a timeout, but no need.

This one was over.

Atlanta’s last hurrah ended when Johnson missed a free throw with a chance to close the gap to two points with 1:35 remaining. Kevin Garnett was hacked at the other end and made both his foul shots, Johnson missed a wild 3 from the top of the key and chants of “Let’s go Celtics!” erupted at Philips Arena while the red-clad fans headed for the exits.

For good measure, Pierce also led his team in rebounding with 14. Garnett had 15 points and 12 rebounds, while Bradley, who shifted over to take Rondo’s spot at the point, chipped in with 14 points but only three assists — a far cry from what the Celtics usually get out of that position.

STOCKS from page 2 Treasury prices fell, and benchmark crude oil rose $1.29 to settle at $106.16 per barrel. Both of those things tend to happen when investors expect stronger economic growth.

Ablin saw an irony in the reaction to the ISM report. Europe’s debt crisis has knocked markets around for months, jerking stocks down on worries its troubles could cross the Atlantic. But Europe’s woes have made U.S. manufacturers look more attractive to companies, Ablin said.

“It’s gotten to a point over last 10 years where it’s better to manufacture here than in pretty much any other developed country in the world,” he said.

In a separate report Tuesday, the Commerce Department said construction spending ticked up in March, following two months of declines.

Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, said the two reports looked like evidence that the U.S. economic recovery is solid despite turmoil in Europe and weaker job creation in March.

“I think investors are encouraged there’s at least one place in the world where it’s still worth investing,” Stovall said. “They’re not ready to give up on this bull market yet.”

Other indexes pushed higher. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose eight points to 1,406. The Nasdaq composite climbed four points to 3,050.

All 10 industry groups within the S&P 500 climbed, led by energy companies. Chesapeake Energy Corp. jumped 6 percent on reports that the company will strip CEO Aubrey McClendon of his chairman’s title.

McClendon, Chesapeake’s founder, was under fire for taking out more than $1 billion in loans using the company’s wells as collateral. Chesapeake recently agreed to end the program that allowed McClendon to take personal stakes in the wells.

The S&P finished April in the red, its first losing month since November. The Dow managed a tiny gain.

Judging by its track record, May isn’t a promising month for stocks. Since World War II, the S&P 500 has gained an average of 0.31 percent in May. For all months, the average gain is 0.67 percent.

“It’s a very undistinguished month,” Stovall said.

Among stocks making big moves: — Sears Holdings Corp. soared 15 percent, the biggest gain in the S&P 500. The operator of Kmart and Sears stores expects to post a first-quarter profit thanks to a gain from the sale of some U.S. and Canadian stores. The company’s stock has jumped 99 percent so far this year.

— Archer Daniels Midland Co. gained 7 percent after the food conglomerate reported profits that beat analysts’ expectations. Profits dropped by nearly a third over the past year, pulled down by one-time charges and lower weaker results from its ethanol and oilseeds businesses.

— Avon Products Inc. fell 8 percent, the largest drop in the S&P. The company said earnings plunged 82 percent, hurt by a bigger restructuring charge, commodity costs and rising labor costs. The results were worse than analysts had expected.

MVSB partners with NH granges to give dictionaries to third graders

MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) is pleased to continue its partnership with the local NH Granges to provide custom dictionaries to local thirdgrade students.

Over the course of its history, MVSB and the Grange have partnered to supply dictionaries to more than 6,000 students in central New Hampshire, as part of the Dictionary Project.

This year, nearly 1,200 dictionaries were given out to students at 23 local schools.

The dictionaries that were distributed are more than just standard glossaries. They include information on a plethora of subjects, such as the Declaration of Independence, the solar system, American Sign Language, Braille, American presidents, and local and national maps.

“We are thrilled to have participated in The Dictionary Project again this year,” said Jill White, regional vice president and branch manager of the Ashland office. “We feel very lucky to have the opportunity to give something so unique to our local children. These dictionaries are instrumental teaching tools that will undoubtedly be used for years to come. The support of the local Granges is unmatched and makes the giving

process extremely easy and fun.”

The production and distribution of the dictionaries occurs each year in celebration of National Dictionary Day. National Dictionary Day was established to commemorate the 1758 birth of famed American wordsmith Noah Webster, and is now celebrated on the second Sunday in October each year.

When Webster created the American Dictionary of the English Language, his name became synonymous with dictionaries.

Dictionary Day is celebrated in most schools, where teachers use the day to emphasize the importance of dictionary skills with activities that include finding the longest word in the dictionary, creating classroom slang dictionaries, and playing Scrabble.

OBITUARY

Roy W. Frank, 92

MEREDITH — Roy William Frank, 92, a longtime resident of Meredith, died on April 29, 2012, in Mt. Vernon Rehabilitation Center, in Alexandria, VA. Roy was born in Boston, MA on October 22, 1919 and resided in West Roxbury.

He attended Boston English High School, where he excelled in track. He has been a resident of Meredith since 1977.

He joined the US Navy in 1939 serving his country valiantly during World War II, the Korean Conflict, and Viet Nam and retired in 1960. Roy experienced several of the most historic naval battles of WWII in the European Theater and the Asian Pacific including; surviving the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the USS Wasp CV-7, the US carrier he was on off Guadalcanal during the D-Day invasion was struck by enemy fire and forced back across the English Canal to safety, and served on the USS Inch, which was credited with the sinking of German U-27 submarine. He was also a driver for Admiral Fitch of the 1st Naval District in Boston.

After retirement from the Navy, Roy worked at Wiggins Airways in Norwood, MA, until 1980.

During his retirement, he enjoyed spending many years at the Mug Restaurant, in Center Harbor, where those that knew him remember him fondly. He was never at a loss for words or an unwillingness to express his mind. He had a way of leaving quite an impression on you and had a knack for gaining peoples respect.

Roy was predeceased by his wife of sixtythree years, Doris M. Frank, who died in January of 2005, his daughter Beverly A. Reardon, and his granddaughter, Lindsey A. Frank.

OBITUARIES

Robert H. Wilkinson, Jr., 66 LACONIA — Robert H. Wilkinson, Jr., 66, of 226 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H., died as a result of a motor vehicle accident on Monday, April 30, 2012.

Bob was born July 25, 1945 in Laconia, NH, the son of Rita and Robert H. Wilkinson, Sr. Bob was a longtime resident of Laconia/ Gilford and a 1964 graduate of Laconia High School. He earned a B.S. Degree from the University of Maine, Orono in 1969 and served in the U. S. Army during the Vietnam War. He was owner of Yankee Energy Services for many years.

Survivors include his wife of forty-six years, Marjory Craver Wilkinson, of Laconia; a daughter, Sara W. Staples; two sons, Scott Wilkinson and Collin Wilkinson; a brother and sister-in-law, William and Sherry Wilkinson, of Clarksville, Tenn.

Bob was an artist at heart and allowed his explorations in mediums to grow as he became older. He delved into wood working, masonry and sculpture.

His creations took the form of tree and bird houses, outdoor pizza ovens, and drift wood art. Bob also had a playful side which he shared with all. He kept his grandchildren in stitches running around in rubber ducky boxers, serving pancake breakfasts in a gorilla costume, and setting booby traps around the

house covering kids in confetti. Bob also enjoyed fly tying and fishing and spent much of his reflective time on the rivers around America.

“Time is but the stream to go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but the eternity remains.” Henry David Thoreau Perhaps most subtly, but most admirable was that Bob was a giving man. Someone in need of a smile might find a plate of Greek meatballs or grape leaves at their door. Those in need of work would find an open door at Bob’s construction company. He believed in the goodness of the human spirit.

A Celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 11:00 AM at the Gilford Community Church, 19 Potter Hill Road, Gilford, N.H. For those who wish, the family suggests donations be made to the Gunstock Ski Club PO Box 222, Laconia, NH 03247 in memory of Bob Wilkinson.

Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements. For more information about the service and to view the online memorial, visit www. wilkinsonbeane.com.

Marc A. Landry, 61 MEREDITH — Marc Amedee Landry, 61, passed away gently at home on April 29, 2012 after a long battle with many illnesses. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Lucille E. Landry and Amedee S. Landry.

Marc is survived by his only, and adored daughter, Kristalee Landry of Tilton, NH, and her daughter Alyssa Fay. Marc is also survived by his elder brother Dennis Landry of Manchester, MD, and wife Susan; and sister Pamela Landry McKenzie of Los Lunas, NM, and husband Burton.

Born, October 1, 1050, Marc’s first adventure in life was traveling to Lima, Peru aboard the Santa Cecila, a Grace Line ship, at the tender age of six weeks. He grew up in Lima, Peru and La Paz, Bolivia, and lastly in Dover, NH, as his father pursued his State Department career. Marc was bilingual, learning Spanish and English together at an early age; this language fluency served him well throughout his life.

Marc’s life was filled with many adventures and challenges; he faced all of them with spirit and clarity

of purpose. He was a strong advocate for the services he needed, and always found a way to get his needs met. He likewise advocated for others whose voices could not be heard so clearly.

One of Marc’s undying loves was his Doberman Pinscher “Macho’. This dog filled a place in his heart that held no other; they will be together for eternity in a beautiful place both loved for many years.

Marc’s passing leaves his family bereft.

He is shorn of his physical suffering, and for that we are grateful. His last adventure is exploring what lies beyond these earthly tethers.

We pray that he is reunited with his loving parents and enjoys the peace and rest he so deserves.

As per Marc’s request, there will be no ceremonies to mark his passing. Flowers and cards may be sent to his daughter Kristalee Landry @ 1 Frasiers Lane, Apt E, Tilton, NH 03276.

‘Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story’ free showing in Laconia May 7

LACONIA — The Laconia Human Relations Committee, in cooperation with the Laconia Public Library, will present the film “Gifted Hands” on Monday, May 7 at 6:30 p.m. at the Laconia Public Library.

Inspirational is the best way to describe this movie biographical of Dr. Ben Carson, who became a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at John Hopkins Medical Center.

This story is complimentary to the movie, “Some-

A headline that appeared over an article in yesterday’s issue listed the incorrect day for a performance to benefit the Inter-Lakes High School Class of 2013.

Hypnotist Paul Ramsay will perform on Friday, May 4 at 7 p.m. at the school’s auditorium. The show is

clean, fun and appropriate for families. Tickets are available at the Meredith Chamber of Commerce, which is open Monday through Friday, 9a.m. to 4 p.m.

thing the Lord Made” shown in March. That was the story of Dr. Vivien Thomas, a black man, who worked with cardiologist Dr. Alfred Blalock, to develop the first operations to successfully operate on the hearts of blue-babies at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Again, we have a black man struggling to be accepted as he grew up and entered a white physician’s world. This story takes us from Ben Carson, as the only black student in his class, being teased as the dumbest kid in school.

Raised by a single mother who only went through third grade, she pushed her two children to succeed by making them get off the couch watching TV and to start reading in order to focus on their studies. Ben went from being the child with the lowest grades in class to attending an Ivy League school. However, Ben had an anger problem he had to get under control before he would find success. Through faith he became a man who would use his gifts to help children that nobody else was able to.

He is the first doctor to successfully separate conjoined twins at the head. A best-selling author, he also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008 from then President Bush.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays the adult Ben. Umija Gusinac, of the Laconia Human Relations Committee, says, “Being gifted has nothing to do with races, cultures, religion. We are all gifted. The only difference between us is the willingness to nurture and then use our gifts for o good purpose – for a well-being of all of us: our family, our community, country as well as a well-being of mankind. Dr. Ben Carson nurtured and used his gifts for a good purpose.”

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There’s a pressure building around an upcoming event. You will be giving a performance of some kind. Perhaps this is informal in nature, but it’s still a performance. Imagine yourself executing this perfectly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Even though you know that love is the opposite of fear, you don’t go around hugging sharks. Great whites are best admired from a great distance. The same goes for potentially dangerous people. Stay far, far away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The pressure is on. So just remember who you are. You have successfully completed jobs like this several times in the past. You can and will do it again. Rally for the best attitude you can muster.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This afternoon brings a shift into a more creative headspace. You’ll bypass your analytical mind and tap into a wellspring of creative energy. Something personal and wonderful comes out of this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are conscientious about what you do, and you’ll feel inclined to work hard.

Those with similar responsibilities may rely too heavily on you to pick up the slack. Avoid giving more to the work than you have to.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 2). The next six weeks are a learning process.

Stay the course this year, no matter what temptations, distractions and challenges arise and you’ll succeed.

What you need to know is revealed in June. Solutions to domestic issues make life more enjoyable in July. Relationships get stronger in September through shared adventure. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 13, 49, 38 and 16.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Avoid preamble. Get right to the point, and tell people what you want from them.

Chances are they will be grateful for your directness, and they’ll think more of you because you had the guts to operate in this manner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Politicians aren’t the only ones with platforms. You have a platform, too, though maybe you haven’t given the idea much thought. Now is the time to do so. Figure out what you stand for, and what you’re willing to do about it GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know what you need, but you may be uncharacteristically timid about communicating it. It will be better to inform others of your intentions, instead of asking permission to do what you want to do. Tell; don’t ask.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you owe someone an apology, you give it. Apologizing for unintentional minor errors that don’t hurt anyone will erode the confidence others have in you, not to mention your confidence in yourself!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone may have a higher position than you, but it doesn’t make that person better than you. You treat everyone equally, and you refuse to cower to those who do not.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will take a greater than normal effort to be present to certain situations. Perhaps the circumstance is tedious, too challenging, or just plain boring. Still, when you drift off topic, it will be important to come back to it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A teacher will help you on a spiritual level, though it isn’t necessarily the aim you are going for. Anything that helps you grow into the person you want to be will also expand your spirit.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Our daughter is 42 years old and divorced. For the past two years, she has been seeing “Matt.” We accepted him and welcomed him at our numerous family gatherings.

Several weeks ago, our daughter drank too much at a party and ended up in bed with another man. Needless to say, Matt became quite angry. But he went into a rampage. He threw bricks through her car windows, punched her in the eye and showed up at our doorstep to cuss her out. He also confronted her kids. We strongly advised her to end the relationship.

But after Matt calmed down, he apologized, went for courtordered counseling and now attends AA. So our daughter has started seeing him again.

We totally disapprove of this relationship, but she has asked us to accept this guy again and welcome him to our family gatherings. We don’t want him near us. It sounds like Matt is trying to do the right thing, but we can’t forget what happened. We worry about her constantly when she is with him, in case he loses his temper again. How should we handle this? -- Concerned Parents Dear Concerned: You don’t have to approve of Matt in order to have a relationship with your daughter, and it is important that you stay in touch with her. It is not mandatory that you welcome Matt into your home, but please arrange to meet your daughter in other locations. If Matt abuses her again, she will need to know you are close by and available.

There are men who have managed, through hard work and counseling, to find healthier ways to handle their anger, and we certainly hope Matt is one of them. Please urge your daughter to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline for information (thehotline.org), and to give Matt plenty of time to prove himself before she becomes too entangled. Her life may depend on it.

Dear Annie: A year ago, my teenage daughter, “Shawna,”

had a new friend spend the night. The next day, Shawna discovered her new friend gave her head lice. We treated it and told her friend to do the same.

The problem is, this friend keeps giving lice to my daughter. We know it’s her because it only happens when this particular girl spends the night or Shawna goes to her house. In between, there are no outbreaks. My daughter has missed several days of school, and I have bought countless treatments, sprayed the house, and washed and disinfected everything. I have talked to the girl’s mother, who claims she’s doing everything possible, but Shawna says she only vacuums.

I told Shawna there will be no more visits with this girl until her parents figure out how to get rid of the lice. Isn’t it time for Shawna to find a new best friend? -- At My Wits’ End Here Dear Wits’ End: They can still be best friends over the phone and online for the time being. We suspect someone else this girl regularly comes into contact with is causing repeated infestations. The parents should carefully check every person in their home (including themselves) and talk to their pediatrician.

Dear Annie: Your advice to “Stepped On,” whose volunteer organization suffers from a rude and abusive supervisor, left out an important option.

She and her colleagues should document instances of unacceptable behavior with details, dates and times, and present the facts in writing to the board, pointing out how the behavior harms the organization by alienating both volunteers and potential donors, two crucial resources. They also should document their efforts to get the supervisor to correct his behavior. They should be willing to sign their letter and be prepared to leave if no corrective action ensues. -- Don’t Put Up with it in Hawaii
