A ‘road trip’ to tragedy

Mom may have brought boy up from Texas with murder/suicide in mind — P. 2

VOL. 11 NO. 250

LaCONia, N.H.

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — The city’s teacher’s union and the negotiating team of the School District have reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement.

Board Chair Bob Dassatti and Laconia Education Association President Deb Tivey made the joint announcement yesterday afternoon.

Dassatti said neither the full School

Board nor the LEA membership has seen or voted on the tentative accord and he declined to release any details until both sides have reviewed the terms and voted.

“As the teachers have stepped up for the city taxpayers in the past few years, in my opinion this tentative agreement is an equitable one for both sides,” Dassatti said when reached by telephone.

The teacher’s union is the first of the city’s seven public employee bargaining

units to reach an tentative accord for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

Last year, the LEA also led the parade by agreeing to forgo so-called “step” pay increases or cost of living increases for one year, which was tantamount to forcing the City Council to reach the same agreement with the four unions that represent city employees — including the police officers and firefighters, who subsequently see UNiON page 13

GILFORD — The not-forprofit Gilford Village Knolls, Inc. has renewed its effort to add to its complex of affordable housing for senior citizens in the historic village district by developing 24 units on the lot at 43 Potter Hill Road, which has been a political football for the past seven years.

Next week the Zoning Board of Adjustment will consider requests by Gilford Village Knolls for a special exception, which is required for senior housing projects, and a variance from the ordinance requiring senior housing developments to offer a mix of one and two bedroom units.

Tony Ferruolo, chairman of the board of Gilford Village Knolls, said that the project will be financed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which only funds twobedroom units for resident see KNOLLS page 11

‘Gorgeous Gabby’ sheds helmet after skull surgery

HOUSTON (AP) — Scribbled on the helmet protecting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ injured head was a simple reminder: 5/17/11, the date doctors said she could take it off for the last time.

Now, a day after successful surgery to repair her skull, the helmet adorned with the Arizona state flag that she has worn since she was shot in the head in January is finally gone.

She is awake, communicating and doing bedside therapy. And her new look has earned her a nickname.

“I started calling her Gorgeous Gabby today,” said Dr. Dong Kim, the neurosurgeon who performed the operation.

“She hasn’t looked in the mirror yet, but as soon as she does she’ll be very pleased.”

Even shaving her head to prevent infection hasn’t harmed her appearance, Kim said.

“I think it looks quite cute if you ask me, and hair will grow back,” he see GABBY page 13

Texas mom’s ‘road trip’ may have aimed at murder/suicide PORTSMOUTH (AP) — Even as her son’s image was plastered across TV and computer screens nationwide while authorities worked to identify the little boy found dead along a dirt road in Maine, his mother dutifully called his Texas school daily to report his absence.

Julianne McCrery, 42, of Irving, Texas, was ordered held without bail Thursday on second-degree murder charges in New Hampshire, where she made her initial court appearance in the death of her son, 6-year-old Camden, after waiving extradition from Massachusetts.

Murphy said in Concord, Mass. “She told me, ‘I love my son very much. I know where he is. He’s in heaven. I want to go there as soon as possible.’”

The boy’s body was found Saturday in an isolated area in South Berwick, Maine, and state police were at a loss to identify him because no one had reported him missing. Police believe he was killed in Hampton, N.H. The last day the boy attended school in Texas was Friday, May 6. The next Monday, his mother called to report that he was absent because he was ill, and she continued to call this week, saying he was see BOY page 7

friends paint a portrait of a loving but troubled mother who suffered from mood swings that sometimes culminated in road trips — but she’d always come back.

This time, after one such trip to New England, she won’t be returning to Texas anytime soon.

A lawyer representing McCrery at a brief hearing in Massachusetts said that judging by conversations with his client, he thinks she traveled hundreds of miles from home with the idea of taking her son’s life and committing suicide.

Prodding Israel, Obama embraces Palestinian state with ‘67 borders dent Palestine should be based on 1967 borders — before the Six Day War in which Israel occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza — as adjusted by possible land swaps agreed upon by both sides. He said Israel can never live in true peace as a Jewish state if it insists on “permanent occupation.”

Obama’s effort to salvage a peace effort that is in shambles was a major change in tactics for a president running out of patience and reasons to be subtle.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Exasperated by stalled Middle East peace talks in a season of tumultuous change, President Barack Obama jolted close ally Israel Thursday by embracing the Palestinians’ terms for drawing the borders of their new nation next door. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel rejected the idea as “indefensible” on the eve of his vital White House meeting with Obama.

Senate committee restores House cuts to services for mentally ill & disabled

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s Senate budget committee restored most of the money the House cut to services for the mentally ill and disabled on Thursday, but left funding for other social service programs in doubt.

The Senate Finance Committee voted to add back money for the services which is a top Senate priority.

The committee also restored enough money to keep counseling service ServiceLink for the elderly operating, take care of 50 children with serious behavioral problems and test mosquitoes for West Nile and other diseases.

The committee must finish its work on the budget package in about a week. The Senate plans to vote on it by June 2. Then the Senate and House have two weeks to negotiate a compromise. The first years starts July 1.The committee plans to take another look at a list of other programs Monday, but Finance Chairman Chuck Morse cautioned committee members not much money is left.

The House cut $207 million from the Department of Health and Human Services general fund budget proposed by Gov. John Lynch, which was about $185 million more than in the current two-year budget.

The Senate had indicated it would like to restore some funding, particularly to programs for the mentally ill and disabled, but — like the House — has pledged not to raise any taxes or fees to pay for sersee CUTS page 6

Schwarzengger puts acting career on hold

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger delayed his Hollywood comeback Thursday as he braced for what could be a costly divorce prompted by revelations that he had an affair and child with a housekeeper who worked for his family for 20 years.

The former “Terminator” star told his talent agency to postpone all his movie projects that are currently under way or being negotiated until further notice, a statement from Schwarzenegger’s office said.

“Gov. Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines,” the statement said.

Instead of another film, the actor could be starring in a big-money divorce case that will stand out even in a city that has seen its share of made-for-the-tabloids matrimonial splits.

His wife, Maria Shriver, the Kennedy heiress and former network TV anchor, stands to cash in bigtime financially, according to prominent divorce attorneys.

Although California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning her husband’s acknowledged philandering technically can’t be used against him in court, the reality, attorneys say, is that it will be.

“Every judge would know about what happened, and I think would hold it against him,” said attorney Robert Nachshin, who has represented the exwives of a who’s who of entertainers that includes Will Smith, Rod Stewart and John Ritter. “Judges are human beings, and Maria will definitely be the sympathetic spouse.”

Based on his experience, Nachshin said, Shriver should expect to receive at least $100,000 a month in spousal support and, with three children under the age of 18, probably another $40,000 or more a month in child support.

Then there’s the division of the couple’s property, including the Brentwood mansion that Shriver and her children moved from earlier this year.

Nachshin said that could be affected by a prenuptial agreement, if the couple signed one when they see ARNOLD page 7

Armed Hillsborough woman killed during confrontation with police

HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire authorities say a woman armed with a handgun was shot and killed by police during a confrontation at a home in Hillsborough.

Attorney General Michael Delaney says several officers from Hillsborough and surrounding towns responded to a family dispute early Thursday at the Naroian residence. A brief confrontation took place

between 47-year-old Shelly Naroian, who had a gun, and the officers.

Delaney says two officers shot at Naroian during the confrontation, and she was killed.

None of the officers were injured; neither were two men at the house.

An autopsy was expected to be done Thursday.

The investigation is ongoing.

Newt & Romney running against their own party Exit Mike Huckabee. Enter Newt Gingrich. Exit Donald Trump. It’s been a busy week in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

A few questions remain to be answered. Enter Mitch Daniels?

Exit Sarah Palin?

But already two of the bestknown candidates seem bent on ruling themselves out of contention. One is Newt Gingrich. He’s being denounced for his comments on House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Bill Bennett, the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Charles Krauthammer on Fox News.

Ryan’s Medicare plan was part of the budget resolution that all Republicans but four voted for in the House. It is for all practical purposes the platform of the Republican Party. And Gingrich seemed to trash it. He did so in response to a tendentious question from “Meet the Press’s” David Gregory, who asked whether Republicans “ought to buck the public opposition” and “really move forward to completely change Medicare.”

The smart response would have been to challenge the premises of Gregory’s question. The Ryan plan is not necessarily unpopular — public sentiment depends heavily on how poll questions are worded. And the plan wouldn’t completely change Medicare. The current system would remain in effect for everyone now 55 and over. But Gingrich accepted Gregory’s premises. “I don’t think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering,” Gingrich responded. “I don’t think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for a free society to operate.”

So a former Republican speaker of the House who wants to become a Republican president has just given Democrats a warrant to label a major Republican proposal “rightwing social engineering” and “radical change from the right.”

It’s not hard to see why Russell Fuhrman, an Iowa Republican who happened to run into Gingrich in Dubuque, said: “You’re an embarrassment to our party. Why don’t you get out before you make a bigger fool of yourself?”

From his own personal experience, Gingrich should have known what is happening here. The party’s congressional wing, with its majority in the House, has taken the initiative in setting party policy — as it did when Gingrich was speaker in 1995 and 1996.

Republican presidential contend-

ers didn’t disparage Gingrich’s ideas in anything like the way Gingrich disparaged Ryan’s. Gingrich sees himself, accurately, as a generator of new ideas. But the party he seeks to lead is already committed to ideas that are apparently contrary to his.

If Gingrich has put himself out of line with Republican policy more or less purposefully, Mitt Romney had no way of knowing that he would be aligned with President Obama when he formulated his Massachusetts health care plan back in 2006. Congressional Republicans have almost unanimously supported repeal of the Obamacare bill jammed through Congress in March 2010 with a mandate, modeled on the one in Massachusetts, requiring everyone to buy health insurance. Twentyseven state attorneys general or governors, almost all Republicans, are bringing lawsuits arguing that the Obamacare mandate violates the Constitution.

Romney delivered a health care speech last week in Michigan defending his Massachusetts plan and insisting that a state mandate is a different kind of duck from a federal mandate. But the response of the large mass of Republicans seems something like the old New Yorker cartoon in which the little girl confronted with a green vegetable says, “I say it’s spinach, and I say the hell with it.”

Some Romney fans are saying he has recovered by raising $10.25-million in a single day this week. It’s an impressive fundraising feat. But what is money for in a presidential nomination race? It can help build state organizations, it can introduce an unknown candidate to voters, and it can present arguments for a candidate or against his opponents.

Some of those things, however, can be done much more cheaply these days through new media.

And it doesn’t seem likely that even millions of dollars of ads can make Republican primary voters and caucus-goers love the Massachusetts mandate.

Romney is running as a technocrat, someone who can analyze data and get results through good management. But Republicans this year are looking not for a technocrat but for someone to reverse the Obama Democrats’ vast increase in the size and scope of government.

Romney, too, seems out of line with the party he seeks to lead.

LETTERS Wake up & take charge of your own future & your own destiny To the editor, Three headlines of the past week form the Wall Street Journal all confirming the same uninterrupted, incompetence of government at every endeavor it ever operates.

1. The post office announced a 2.3 billion dollar LOSS for the first quarter and warned that it will be in default again by years end requiring another taxpayer handout from the undisputed king of bailouts Obama. The union controlled political bureaucracy of the post office refuses to close post offices and reduce the work force nearly as fast as the drop in postal volume.

2. Medicare announced it would now go BANKRUPT a full five years earlier than projected just 12 months ago.

The new target date is 2024 and that estimate could shorten if the economy does not fully turn. Obamacare looms large in 2014 adding some 30 million people to the welfare health care rolls aiming to bankrupt every state and hospital in it’s wake. Unbelievably, people with as much as $88k in income may be eligible for free care.

It is sheer insanity. Massachusetts is essentially on Obamacare already.

ONE statistic tells the entire failed story. Sixty-three percent of primary care physicians in Mass. REFUSE, I repeat REFUSE to accept Medicaid or Medicare patients ALREADY for service of any type because the subsidies they receive are so low they will put them out of business. As a result expensive emerge regency visits which were supposed to drop when everyone had insurance were up 9-percent in the past year. In addition, Mass. has the dubious distinction of having the highest insurance rates in the entire country with hundreds of thousands who can not find a single doctor who will treat them. THIS IS

WHAT OBAMACARE IS GOING TO DO NATIONALLY. ARE YOU ALL SLEEPING? 3. Social Security also announced it too would become BANKRUPT earlier than last projected. The new estimate is 2036. There will eventually numerous changes to make it solvent none of them any one will like, including lowering future benefits, how benefits are calculated and working longer to qualify. And guess what if you die you still get “nothing”. Social Security also has the LOWEST projected rate of return of any pension plan in all of America by FIVE PERCENT. Meaning you get about TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS EVERY MONTH LESS THAN YOU SHOULD BE. I ask you why you are not out raged at the complete utter, total incompetence of government to do anything productively or efficiently? When Democrats suggest we need more, expansive and intrusive government in our lives millions you stand there like a deer paralyzed in the bright lights of a car.

Government is failing you miserably with endless and needless bankruptcies in everything it runs taking full advantage of you in the process.

Millions of you sit in total and complete silence like sheep waiting to be shorn or lemmings running to fall off a cliff. WAKE UP! Take control of your own life and your own decisions.

Democrats in the form of big government will make every decision for you if you let them. They will control every aspect of American life if you let them including when you can go for a “pee”.

LETTERS Environmental services teaching us the meaning of extortion To the editor, This week the Meredith Selectboard announced the end of a lawsuit against the town by the N.H. Department of Environmental Services. This is the same agency that is trying to bully all towns within the Winnipesaukee River Basin to pay millions of dollars for some kind of an ultra violet treatment center to improve water quality. Meredith has denied this project, based on the fact that there are other systems that will do the same job at a much lower cost.

Is it a coincidence that the resistance Meredith has shown toward the DES proposed water treatment center was answered with a lawsuit that DES brought against the town because of an accidental happening?

Or did the lawsuit come first?

According to reports from the meeting, in 2008, town employees admittedly dumped untreated fats, oils and grease in the area of the Jenness Hill snow dump. They realized their mistake, corrected the problem, investigated, and voluntarily reported their error and findings to DES, assuring that no environmental harm was done and the problem will never be repeated.

That wasn’t good enough for DES, who filed a Consent Decree as the final process of a lawsuit in which they fined the town $30,000 for this error of 2008. In lieu of paying the

$30,000 in cash, the town has agreed to four DES terms: Three of the four demands, totaling a definitive $25,000 include various certification, training and management programs for Meredith employees, as well as employees of other member communities of the Winnipesaukee River Basin, and members of the public. Grants and scholarships for Lakes Region Schools ($15,000) are also included, hopefully which can somehow stay within our school district. Although punitive in nature, these opportunities at least seem to be environmentally based and should eventually benefit employees, students, and perhaps some taxpayers.

Aside from the unfunded costs, and the fact that accidents sometimes happen, it is the last requirement that I really resent. The town must purchase necessary improvements specified by DES and have them delivered to the WRBP training center in Franklin. This may include items such as tables and chairs. Really?

We’re outfitting their Franklin office at a cost of $5000! What exactly does that teach us? Maybe the meaning of extortion!

So much for the lessons of honesty, mistakes, and admitting errors! No wonder some of us want less government in our lives!

A little place that delivers a taste of home in our little downtown To the editor, I took my children to the Soda Shoppe for breakfast this morning. It struck me that in these times where citizens are awakening to the many important reasons for supporting local businesses, that this little restaurant has been a Laconia staple for many generations of my family as well as others. I held the door open for my little ones to toddle through and felt oddly at home as memories of my parents and grandparents doing the same for me came to mind. There are so many memories from this little spot.

My older children have stared at me wide eyed as I have retold my Memere’s accounts of leaving my dad, then only an infant, lined up with the other babies in their strollers outside of the restaurant’s window, while my grandmother went in for an ice cream. It was the social hub for mothers of the baby boomers and remarkably, the babies were still there when the mothers came back. Memere never tired of her favorite spot to meet friends and neighbors, bringing me for lunch during the sled dog races or for a treat

before a downtown summer concert.

Likewise, my mother took me for soup after getting my braces cemented to my aching teeth. Later, my fiancé and I enjoyed a spaghetti and meatball dinner on a date night.

My mother and I frequented when I was pregnant with number four and five so I could have my onion ring fix.

Since, my children, ranging from 15 to 2 years have come with my husband and me for breakfast and lunch when we just wanted some good food for a fair price with a seat amongst the locals. Now that my grandparents and my mother are gone, I feel strangely haunted by the memories of family in a little place that delivers a taste of home served up in our little downtown. It’s an easy way to support something special in our community and to remember those in whose footsteps we follow. Plus, you just might see a friend or two. To all the locals and to those who are just passing through, Bon a petit!

So far, our revenge of 9/11 has cost us over 40,000 dead & wounded To the editor, I remind those who call President Obama anything they want, anytime they want (except president) of a few simple facts. In the past 30 years, the GOP has had the White House for 20 years and the Democrats going on 11 years. President Bush promised to secure borders, rebuild America, no nation building. The tragic events of 9/11 ended that. President Bush sent troops to war and promised to capture OBL. He then gave up on his hunt for

LETTERS Mom would’ve been in nursing home 4 years ago but for this program To the editor, Does it make sense to cut funding for a program that saves the State of N.H. at least five times its cost?

Sunrise Towers in Laconia serves 30 low-income handicapped or senior residents with their marvelous Congregate Care Program. This program enables individuals who have surpassed the capability of living independently to do so because of the services it offers.

The program has been funded by the Federal Government with a 50-percent match by the State of N.H. Federal funding has been cut, therefore, the State of N.H. has cut their portion of funding because it is contingent upon Federal funding.

If funding is discontinued, 10 residents will require nursing home care immediately. The State of N.H. will own the burden for this care. The other 20 residents will require some type of services which will also be the

responsibility of the state. The costs for nursing home care and other services will exceed the original funding by a least five times.

This doesn’t even take into consideration the jobs that will be eliminated causing an increase to unemployment compensation benefits.

My mom would have been a burden of the State of N.H. in a nursing home four years ago if it had not been for Sunrise Towers and its wonderful program. The services she received by trained, caring individuals enabled her to live independently and retain her dignity.

The cost of nursing home care for my Mom for four years would have been twice as costly as the annual funding which sustains 30 residents for one year.

I certainly hope that I am not the only one who sees how ridiculous this is.

Lies still can’t cover over the basic rules of physics To the editor, I don’t know what world Derek Case (Belmont) came from, but either NOT from Earth, or only a seriously flawed product of the current “non education” of local schools! Thanks Belmont, for dumping him on us! Everything Derek wrote is totally stupid and asinine.

Sorry, but it is not that easy to deny reality, even if his mind is way out in outer space. He absolutely insults all those great demolitions which regularly bring down obsolete buildings, with no damage to surrounding properties.

Obviously Muslim terrorists are far brighter than he is, and they realized that the fuel aboard any big airliner was more than needed to bring down any major building in the world. Steel may have great strength WHEN it is

COLD, BUT NO STRENGTH when heated to 1200 degrees F! Once at that temperature everything will collapse.

The collapse of upper structure will overload lower structure, for repeated failures until all are at ground level. I’ll leave it to his tiny imagination about what happens to all the above, unsupported levels!

The point is that no matter how many lies you want to tell, basic physics still apply, and the damage terrorist cause is still there. It is YOU DEREK, who must wake up to the REAL world!

CUTS from page 3 vices. Morse said he hoped to show the committee a reckoning on Monday of where its budget stands in relation to expected revenues.

Earlier Thursday, the Senate Ways

and Means Committee voted on its revenue estimates for the next two years. Morse’s committee uses the estimates to build its budget. The Senate’s estimates are $41 million higher than those used by the House to build its budget.

The House had cut $20 million from services for the developmentally disabled currently receiving help. Lynch did not include funding for the disabled on waiting lists for services and the House did not add money for it.

BOY from page 2 still sick, said Pat Lamb, director of security for the Irving Independent School District.

Meanwhile, the case was drawing national attention as the boy went unidentified for days. State police in Maine distributed a picture of a boy with blond hair and blue eyes — an image taken of his corpse, but altered to show how he would have looked alive.

It’s extremely unusual for a missing child to go unreported. Similar cases happened only twice over the past two years, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Preliminary autopsy findings showed that Camden died of asphyxiation and was killed, according to Maine’s chief medical examiner. The homicide remains under investigation.

McCrery was detained Wednesday at a highway rest stop in Chelmsford, Mass., after police got a tip about her pickup truck, which matched a vehicle seen near the spot where the boy’s body was found covered with a blanket.

Her son died Saturday, the same day his body was discovered by a resident in Maine. Investigators believe Camden was killed that same day in Hampton, N.H., where he and his mother had

stayed a night in a motel and checked out Saturday morning. All the developments in New England occurred within 65 miles of one another.

After the New Hampshire court hearing, Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said McCrery’s family was traveling to New England and will claim the boy’s body, which is in Augusta, Maine. She did not say which family members or when they would arrive.

“I think it’s just a tragic case. There’s not much more I can say right now,” said Monica Kaeser, McCrery’s public defender in New Hampshire.

Back in Texas, some of McCrery’s friends didn’t even know she and her son had left the modest mobile home a friend says she had bought for $5,000.

But one of them says she wouldn’t have been overly alarmed because McCrery sometimes disappeared.

She had done it before but always returned eventually. Just last fall, McCrery took her son out of kindergarten to travel to Seattle and Nebraska, said Shirley Miller, a longtime friend from Irving, Texas.

McCrery, known to friends as Julie, suffered from mood swings and sometimes would just “up and go” without

ARNOLD from page 3 were married in 1985. Many such agreements call for people to keep what would otherwise be joint assets separate after marriage.

Shriver won the sympathy vote when Schwarzenegger revealed this week he had fathered a now 13-yearold son with the housekeeper and didn’t tell his wife about the boy until earlier this year.

“It seems to me that he has gratuitously embarrassed her. This should greatly enhance settlement negotiations,” said Atlanta attorney John Mayoue, who has represented Chris

Rock in a paternity suit, baseball star David Justice in his split with actress Halle Berry, and other celebrities.

Still, the most surprising thing about the case, the attorneys said, is the public found out.

“In my experience what Arnold did is not unusual,” said Nachshin, who has represented clients who hid the existence of children from their wives and others.

The boy’s mother, who has been identified as Mildred Patricia Baena of Bakersfield by The New York Times and other media, has vanished since her name became public Wednesday.

from preceding page funding for those on the wait list.

The House also had voted to cut $25 million from mental health services affecting 4,000 adults and 3,500 children. The committee restored $18 million with assurances from the Department of Health and Human Services that the most severely ill would be served if community mental health centers were given the ability to prioritize who gets served first.

The committee also voted to add $120,000 for mosquito testing, but not the $240,000 used to help communities with spraying. The state could get some federal funding, but the state money assures the testing will continue.

State Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, the lone Democrat on the committee, made pitch after pitch to his Republican colleagues on the committee for programs, especially $1.4 million needed to pay for congregate housing supports for the poor in Manchester, Keene, Somersworth and Laconia.

The 240 people receiving services don’t qualify for Medicaid but need the meals and personal care help to remain independent, he said.

“What’s going to happen to them,” he said. “All these decisions we are making involve people’s lives.”

The committee agreed to review the program Monday.

telling anyone, Miller said.

“I would say she was a caring mother,” Miller said. “I don’t know why she did this unless she just flipped out.”

Like most people, the woman appears to have harbored both demons and accomplishments.

Texas public records show that she was arrested at least twice on prostitution charges and once for possession with intent to distribute drugs.

And Amazon.com features a book for sale by a woman named Julie McCrery about how to get a good night’s sleep, titled: “Good Night, Sleep Tight!” The biography says the author drove a school bus and operated a cement mixer. Her latest job, according to court records in Massachusetts, was as an “auto parts deliv-

ery contractor” in Texas.

Miller said that she baby-sat for Camden about two weeks ago and that he was wearing the same clothes he had on when his body was found in Maine. She said the clothes were brand new.

“Why did she leave him beside the road? I cannot get past that. That does not seem like her,” she said. “I know she probably did it, but I can’t get past why.”

Lamb described McCrery’s son as “a gifted and talented” kindergartner at W.T. Hanes Elementary School in Irving. Grief counselors were on hand to assist children and staff as news of his death spread on 600-student campus, Lamb said.

“He was a really bright student,” Lamb said. “His teachers described him as a sponge who loved to learn.”

OBAMA from page 2 Arab world, Obama was also unsparing in his words for the Palestinian leadership, repudiating its pursuit of unilateral statehood through the United Nations and questioning its alliance with a Hamas faction bent on Israel’s destruction.

“At a time when the people of the Middle East and North Africa are casting off the burdens of the past, the drive for a lasting peace that ends the conflict and resolves all claims is

more urgent than ever,” Obama said, playing the rapid change of the past six months against a standoff that has stymied the Mideast for decades.

More broadly, before a polite diplomatic audience at the State Department, Obama sought to clarify the U.S. role toward a part of the world undergoing a transformation. He implored the American people to see that it is worth devoting U.S. might and money to help stabilize a dangerous region.

Sex offender ordered to complete program in prison for violating terms of his probation

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A convicted sex offender from Meredith was sentenced yesterday to 3 1/2 to 7 years in the New Hampshire State Prison for violating the terms of his probation. Daniel Blackstone, 26, of 222 Chemung Road was also ordered to complete a sex offender program.

Upon successful completion of the program, Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O’Neill said he may petition the court for an early release.

Blackstone was convicted of felonious sexual assault in 2008 for having oral sex with a girl who was 13-years-old at the time. He was 19-years-old at the sime of the assault, which took place between October of 2003 and January of 2004.

As part of the terms of his probation, Blackstone was ordered to not leave New Hampshire without permission and to not have unsupervised contact with any minors.

According to documents filed by parole Officer Seifu Ragassa, on March 25 Blackstone admitted to leaving the state multiple times between September 2010 and January 2011 to visit his girlfriend in Maine.

He also allegedly told Ragussa, who was in court yesterday, he had unsupervised contact with two girls and fondled and touched them inappropriately.

Acting on Ragussa’s statements, O’Neill had ordered Blackstone held on $50,000 cash bail until yesterday’s hearing.

After 12 year run, Armand Maheux passes chairman’s gavel to Warren Clement LACONIA — Armand Maheux, who has sat on the Police Commission since it was established in 1995 and served as its chairman for the past 12 years, handed the gavel to Warren Clement when the commission met yesterday.

As the meeting drew to close Maheux began “I have been on the commission since 1995 and been chairman,” only to be interrupted by Clement who quipped “I accept.” When the laughter subsided, Maheux continued, saying he that he was relin-

quishing the chairmanship.

Maheux nominated Clement to succeed him then nominated Doug Whittum, the third member, to serve as clerk. Both were confirmed by acclamation.

Maheux noted that he spent part of nearly every day at the department, prompting Captain Steve Clarke to add that he knew every officer by name, along with the names of their wives and children, and never failed to mark their birthdays with a card.

“I love this department,” said Maheux.

After managing a department store, a shore store and jewelry store, Maheux joined the Police Department as a part-time officer in 1965 and became a full-time officer in 1973, serving for five years before taking a position with Aavid Thermalloy.

Clement, the former owner of the Sundial Shop, is best known for his many contributions to the downtown, is serving his third four-year term as a police commissioner.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tim Thomas made 31 saves for his first playoff shutout this season and second overall, rookie Tyler Seguin scored his fourth goal in the last three games and the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday night.

Thomas, the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy as the top regular-season goalie, gave up nine goals in the first two games of the series that the Bruins lead 2-1.

Seguin made it 2-0 from in-close at 8:12 of the third as the puck trickled between the legs of Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson and into the net. After sitting out the Bruins’ first two playoff rounds, the 19-yearold Seguin was inserted into the lineup to replace an injured Patrice Bergeron in Game 1 and has seven points overall. David Krejci also scored for the Bruins.

Game 4 is Saturday in Tampa.

Bergeron was back in the lineup after missing two games because of a concussion sustained when he was hit by Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux in the final game of the second round.

Krejci was alone in the low slot and opened the scoring on a backhander just 1:09 into the first.

Boston is 7-0 during the postseason when scoring the first goal of the game.

Krejci was briefly shaken up late in the first when he was hit in the neutral zone by Tampa Bay defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron, who received a minor penalty for elbowing.

Both teams were looking to play tighter defense after combining for 18 goals in the first two games.

Tampa Bay center Steven Stamkos said before the game that the Lightning wanted to avoid “run and gun hockey.” Boston center Brad Marchand added that both teams hoped to “buckle down” on defense.

Stamkos had three shot as the Lightning outshot Boston 10-8 during the first. Bruins captain Zdeno Chara made a nice defensive play during the period to break up a Tampa Bay 2-on-1.

Thomas made a strong save in the first on Martin St. Louis’ shot from the low right circle. The goalie stopped 15 shots in the third.

BOSTON (AP) — Carl Crawford hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to their season-high sixth straight win, 4-3 over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night.

After blowing a 3-1 lead in the eighth by giving up back-to-back homers to Brennan Boesch and Miguel Cabrera, Boston rallied in the ninth to complete the two-game sweep of the Tigers.

Jonathan Papelbon (2-0) got the win after pitching a scoreless, but hectic ninth, then the Red Sox came through against Al Alburquerque (0-1) in the bottom half.

J.D. Drew and David Ortiz each homered for Boston and Josh Beckett pitched six solid innings. He was pulled before the seventh with tightness in his neck as the Red Sox took no chances on the cool, misty night.

The Red Sox next host the Chicago Cubs when interleague play begins Friday in the first meeting beteween the two teams at Fenway since the 1918 World Series.

Justin Verlander went eight innings, striking out nine and holding the Red Sox to six hits and no walks.

Kevin Youkilis walked leading off the ninth and the Red Sox brought in pinch-runner Jose Iglesias, who went to third when Ortiz hit a single to right through the Tigers’ infield shift. Detroit walked Drew to load the bases with nobody out and Jed Lowrie came

through with a bloop to shallow left. But Andy Dirks threw home in time to force the first out.

Darnell McDonald replaced Ortiz as a pinch-runner at third and had an easy trot home when Crawford lined a ball to center field.

Papelbon got himself in trouble in the ninth, allowing consecutive singles to Brandon Inge and Austin Jackson, then walked Scott Sizemore to load the bases with one out. Papelbon struck out Boesch on three pitches, then got Cabrera swinging to keep it tied.

Beckett scattered five hits over six innings and allowed just one run, but Boston’s bullpen couldn’t hold a 3-1 lead.

Boesch led off the eighth with a homer to right off Daniel Bard. Cabrera followed with a drive over the Green Monster to tie it at 3-all.

Drew drove a 1-0 pitch to the seats in deep right field. Ortiz’s shot through the fog in the seventh carried over the Tigers’ bullpen and put the Sox up 3-1.

Beckett was pulled after only throwing 83 pitches.

The team announced later that he had tightness in his neck and on the cool, wet night the Red Sox weren’t about to risk losing another starting pitcher.

Boston put both John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka on the disabled list already this week with right elbow strains.

Crawford delivers in clutch; Red Sox walk off with 4-3 win

KNOLLS from page one property managers. He said with the special exception and variance in hand Gilford Village Knolls would be in a stronger position to compete for funding when it submits its application to HUD in June. .

Abutting the library to the west, the 3.19-acre lot abuts the 3.61-acre parcel at 41 Potter Hill Road that houses the 24 apartments of Gilford Village Knolls II to the south, which in turn abuts Gilford Village Knolls I, where there are 22 units on 8.19acres at 15 Bacon Drive off Belknap Mountain Road.

The initial plan calls for constructing a single building, with a footprint similar to that of Gilford Village Knolls II and parking for 28 vehicles, on the southern half of the lot, which would be reached from the driveway serving Gilford Village Knolls II from Potter Hill Road. Ferruolo said that the project would reduce the waiting list at Gilford Village Knolls, which has grown to more than 40.

The town acquired the property for $150,000 in 2004 in anticipation of building a new library.

But, the next year voters soundly rejected the project and in 2006 the lot became redundant when Dick and Betty Persons offered to largely fund construction of a new library on the adjacent lot.

When the selectmen voted to advertise the sale of the property by sealed bid, with a reserve price of $150,000 plus closing costs, Ferruolo immediately expressed interest in the property as a site for senior housing. However, Ferruolo advised the board that a sale by sealed bid would exclude Gilford Village Knolls, which would require an option on the property to secure financing for the project.

In May, 2008 the Selectboard voted to sell the lot directly to Gilford Village Knolls.

However, two months later Terry Stewart and Doug Lambert, both members of the Budget Committee, presented a petition with 65 signatures that stopped

Correction: Laconia Academy graduation is May 27 at 7 p.m.

The Laconia Academy graduation will be May 27 at 7 p.m. in the Laconia High School Auditorium. The time was printed incorrectly in a story that ran on page 14 of our Thursday, May 19 issue.

the selectmen from selling the property and put the issue to a special town meeting. The petitioners claimed that because as a non-profit corporation Gilford Village Knolls would be exempt from some or all of its property taxes, its residents would be subsidized by other taxpayers. “How much more subsidized ‘affordable’ senior housing can the rest of the Gilford taxpayers afford?” Stewart asked.”The petitioners are simply suggesting that a GVK 3 is too much.”

When Gilford Village Knolls I was opened in 1988, the Board of Selectmen agreed to forgive all its property taxes, but Gilford Village Knolls II makes an annual “payment in lieu of taxes,” or PILOT, equal to the municipal, county and state portion of the property tax.

In October, Gilford Village Knolls withdrew its offer and the selectmen solicited sealed bids with a reserve price of $150,000 plus all transaction costs.

But, the property failed to fetch a single bid. At the time, the lot was appraised at $85,710, less than 60-percent of the reserve price. At the Town Meeting in March 2009 the selectmen sought and received authority from the the voters to transfer the property to Gilford Villages Knolls for not less than $110,000.

Ferruolo said that the authorization came too late to apply for the 2009-2010 round of funding from HUD. He said that the initiative has attracted significant support from the community and was hopeful the project would be funded.

LRGHealthcare salutes Sgt. Al Lessard for heroism at annual EMS Appreciation Dinner

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

Since 1976

If BIGGER was BETTER, the dinosaurs would still be alive.

Evolution has proven that smart and nimble beats big and slow. It’s that way with banks as well.

If you are still struggling with a big bank that can’t react quickly and creatively to the needs of your business, now is the time to switch to FSB. You’ll never find cookie-cutter thinking or bureaucratic red tape. You will find smart, flexible financing to help your business evolve.

SANBORNTON — Sgt. Al Lessard of the Laconia Police Department has received a Heroism Award for his rescue last summer of a young Manchester woman from the bottom of the Winnipesaukee River. The award was presented last night at the annual LRGHealthcare EMS Appreciation Dinner held at the Steele Hill Resort.

Lessard dove to the bottom of the river five times on July 10 before recovering Ramatulia Kanu, 19, of Manchester, from an area where she had dove into the river from a railroad trestle near the Fair Street bridge.

Lessard said that he was in the Laconia police station when two of Kanu’s relatives ran into the lobby shortly after 4 p.m. that Saturday. “I heard two girls in the lobby screaming to the dispatcher that their friend was drowning,” he told the Laconia Daily Sun last summer.

Together with Sergeant Tom Swett,

Lessard went to a railroad trestle, took of his gun belt, uniform shirt, shoes and ballistic vest and went into the river looking for the woman. Witnesses said she had been at the bottom of the river for as long as 10 minutes.

“I went in four times and found her the fifth time. There was about seven feet of water, but it was very cloudy and dark,’’ he recalled.

He said that he saw her yellow swim suit on his last dive and was able to drag her towards the shore where Swett helped him get her out of the water. He said that she had no pulse when she was brought ashore.

Swett began administering CPR and was joined by Officer Derek Gray.

Kanu regained her pulse after being treated by Laconia Fire Department EMTs who arrived about a minute after she was pulled from the river.

Kanu was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital and later flown to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, May 20, 2011— Page 13

UNION from page one filed unfair labor practice complaints with the state Public Employees Labor Relations Board (PERLB.) To date those complaints, alleging the city didn’t bargain in good faith, have not been resolved.

The other two city unions, as well as two School District support staff unions, agreed to one-year deals that mirrored the one the teachers signed.

The tentative agreement with the LEA, said Dassatti, will hopefully lead the way to an accord with the smaller unions — The Laconia Association of Support Staff that represents the school’s custodians and support staff and the Educational Assistants of Laconia that represents the paraprofessionals or teachers assistants.

Dassatti said the School Board held one meeting in February with representatives of all three unions and

“put out an idea of what we were willing to accept.”

He said yesterday he is optimistic the other two school unions will follow the lead of their bigger sister.

Dassatti said ideally the School Board would like to come to final terms before the third week of June to allow the Laconia City Council time to consider the agreement. It is the council that agrees to the cost provisions of any collective bargaining agreement.

At press time Dassatti said he is not sure if he will call a special meeting of the School Board or if it will consider the tentative accord in a non-public session following the next board meeting on June 7.

By law, the School Board is allowed to discuss the provisions of the tentative agreement in a non-public session but must vote to approve or disapprove them in a public session.

GABBY from page 2 added. Giffords’ astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, is in space and couldn’t see her. But he closely followed the intricate, 3½-hour surgery, talking to his brother and mother-in-law by Internet phone on the International Space Station and emailing doctors.

“She’s doing really, really well, as good as possibly could be expected,” Kelly said in interview from space.

Kelly said he’s “looking forward” to her release from TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital in Houston, though no one, including her doctors, is saying when that will be.

Still, the operation is considered a major mile-

stone in her recovery, and doctors said they worked according to their original plan, performing the surgery at an optimal time and not rearranging it to fit Kelly’s launch schedule.

Dr. Gerard Francisco, head of Giffords’ rehabilitation team at TIRR, said the surgery will also allow doctors to “upgrade” her therapy, possibly improving her rate of recovery.

Just removing the helmet will help.

Experts say it can be cumbersome during therapy.

Losing the helmet can have a positive psychological impact, boosting the patient’s confidence from looking healthy again.

from preceding page in Lebanon, where she was placed on life support and originally listed in critical condition. She has since made a full recovery and visited the Laconia Police Department in September with her mother to personally thank her rescuers.

Lessard, Swett and Gray also received a Unit Citation Award for the rescue, as did the six Laconia firefighters who responded to the incident, Lt. Kirk Beattie, Nate Lemay, Ricky Hewlett, Jay Ellingson, J.P. Hobby and Brian Keyes.

Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson said that all parts of the emergency medical system responded with perfect precision to save a life that day, from the quick action by the police officers first on the scene on through the efforts of the EMTs and emergency room staff at Lakes Region General Hospital, those on the DART helicopter and the staff at Dartmouth Hitchcock.

Other Unit Citations were presented to the TiltonNorthfield Fire Department for saving Geoff Blum’s life when he suffered a heart attack and was revived while being taken to Concord Hospital and to Stewart’s Ambulance for saving the life of a 52-year-old man who had a heart attack at a pond hockey tournament in Meredith in February.

The Paul Racicot Award was presented to Stewart’s Ambulance for it’s dedication to the develop-

ment and implementation of the LRGHealthcare STEMI system of care, known as the REACT program.

Dr. Paul Racicot said that the REACT program, developed in cooperation with LRGHealthcare hospitals in Laconia and Franklin and Concord Regional Hospital, has increased the survival rate of heart attack victims in the area to three or four times the national rate.

Provider of the Year awards were presented to Dennis Comeau of Lakes Region General Hospital and to Scott Taylor of Franklin Regional Hospital.

Best Care Ambulance was honored as the EMS Service of the Year and Laconia Lt. Mike Shastany was presented a Lifetime Achievement award.

Lakes Region General Healthcare and the Laconia Fire Department have been partners in providing emergency medical services ever since 1997 according to Deputy Chief Shawn Riley. Under an arrangement developed with the firefighters union and LRGH which was designed to avert layoffs, LRGHealthcare pays the salaries Riley and the top four paramedics in the department.

Riley says that is a unique arrangement which helps provide for better patient care and through the education and training programs which are offered has sharply increased the survival rate of heart attack victims.

MOULTONBOROUGH — Audrey Mildred Hull passed away peacefully at 76 years old in her beautiful Moultonborough home on May 16, 2011. She was surrounded with the love of her family. Born in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of Leslie Chase and Elizabeth Ward. She graduated from Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing as a registered nurse and happily took care of others her whole life, both professionally and personally. Audrey met the man of her dreams, Courtlandt R. Hull (Buddy) in 1953. They spent 41 happy years together.

Audrey was active in the Moultonborough Methodist Church, the Moultonborough Women’s Club, and was on the Board of Directors for the Visiting Nurses’ Association. She volunteered with health screenings and mentoring children in need at the Moultonborough Central School. Audrey could often be spotted in the Moultonborough Public Library, checking out the latest author. She was known to paddle out to a nearby island to pick blueberries and make delicious pies. She had fun exploring new places on the Spirit Rides. Audrey was sure to make

new friends to the end of her days.

Audrey will long be remembered for her generosity, determination, intelligence, and love of others. She faced the challenges of her chronic illness with grace and courage. Her beloved husband Buddy (Courtlandt R Hull) predeceased her at his death on October 5, 1996.

Audrey leaves her son Wesley Hull and wife Cathie of Moultonborough, her daughter Carissa O’Gara and husband Mick of Meredith, and her daughter Diana Fuller of Wolfeboro; her six grandchildren Kara Pampanin, Michael Pampanin, Corey Fuller, Kaitlin Hull Sampson, Daniel Hull, Nikaya Glidden; one great granddaughter, Audrey Sterling Fuller; and her sister Allison “Tooty” Morrison of Wareham, Mass. Audrey’s family was a great source of pride and joy to her. Her family, friends, and cat Tux will sorely miss her.

A celebration of Audrey’s life will be on May 22, 2011 at 2:00 at the Moultonborough United Methodist Church. Calling hours will be at the Mayhew Funeral home in Meredith on Friday from 6-8 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the NH Humane Society and the Moultonborough United Methodist Church in Audrey’s name.

Cul de Sac

By Holiday Mathis you’re around someone who seems to care very little about what other people think. You’re the same to some degree, and the rebel in you will soon emerge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There is room for you in the classroom of life. The lessons you want to learn will be available to you now. You’ll acquire special knowledge on your way to an aim that, to the untrained eye, might seem selfish.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Spoil yourself silly. Better yet, spoil yourself sleepy -- because you could use the extra rest. Remember, your body makes the growth hormones you need to repair your tissues when you are asleep.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you try to focus on healing one part of your life, you’ll have to deal with a dozen other factors that seem unrelated. Graciously accept what comes.

These seemingly disparate influences will tie together in an amazing way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You could use a team member who leads with his rationality. This person may seem at first to be pessimistic, but he can prevent you from making mistakes with his critical thought patterns and orientation toward details.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 20).

Your social intelligence is off the charts, and love and laughter will fill this year.

You are broadminded. You understand the plights of opposing ideologies and make up your own mind about what to believe. You’ll sell a large-ticket item in June. September is also a profitable time. You’ll reach a personal milestone in November. Aries and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 31, 36, 34, 43 and 32.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll travel light and move fast. You’ll say fewer words and have more impact.

You’ll spend less money and purchase only the most important items. Power and economy go hand in hand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are relying on others for something you could do on your own. All you need to acquire are a few tools and skills. It’s affordable, and you have the time to do this now. You’ll save money in the end.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be mindful of the flow of material items in and out of your life. You’re not interested in excess and have no desire to waste resources. However, such things may happen along the way to an ambitious goal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Why wait until you are feeling low to give yourself a proper pat on the back? Do it while you’re in a good mood, and you’ll create an even better one, favorably affecting the atmosphere around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wealth and prosperity do not guarantee you a place in another person’s heart. Instead of making an effort to impress someone, make an effort to listen to and understand this person. It’s more loveable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You seek a freer state of mind. This will happen as you interact with people you know you can trust. Surround yourself with people who make you feel spontaneous, loose and playful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Bumps, blips and glitches can either make your work interesting, or make you feel frustrated and irritable. There is comedy gold to mine here, so keep your sense of humor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Social interaction will inspire you, especially if

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, May 20, 2011— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, May 20, the 140th day of 2011. There are 225 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 20, 1861, during the Civil War, the Confederate Congress resolved to move the capital of the Confederacy from Montgomery, Ala., to Richmond, Va. North Carolina voted to secede from the Union. Kentucky declared its neutrality.

On this date: In 1506, explorer Christopher Columbus died in Spain.

In 1902, the United States ended a three-year military presence in Cuba as the Republic of Cuba was established under its first elected president, Tomas Estrada Palma.

In 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, N.Y., aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on his historic solo flight to France.

In 1932, Amelia Earhart took off from Newfoundland to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.

In 1939, regular trans-Atlantic mail service began as a Pan American Airways plane, the Yankee Clipper, took off from Port Washington, N.Y., bound for Marseille, France.

In 1961, a white mob attacked a busload of Freedom Riders in Montgomery, Ala., prompting the federal government to send in U.S. marshals to restore order.

In 1969, U.S. and South Vietnamese forces captured Ap Bia Mountain, referred to as “Hamburger Hill” by the Americans, following one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. In 1970, some 100,000 people demonstrated in New York’s Wall Street district in support of U.S. policy in Vietnam and Cambodia.

In 1985, the FBI arrested John A. Walker Jr., who was later convicted of heading a spy ring for the Soviet Union.

One year ago: Mexican President Felipe Calderon took his opposition to a new Arizona immigration law to the U.S. Congress, telling lawmakers it ignored “a reality that cannot be erased by decree.” A masked intruder stole a Picasso, a Matisse and three other masterpieces from a Paris museum.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a college student. I graduated from community college with an associate’s degree in December and am finishing my first semester at the university. No matter how hard I try (tutoring, studying more and for longer hours), I am not doing well. I don’t think college is for me, and I want to drop out.

The problem is, I don’t know how to tell my parents about my decision. They have always said that school is the most important thing. They would be terribly hurt and disappointed if one of their children quit. I have told them what a hard time I’m having, and they say as long as I’m trying my best, there is nothing to be ashamed of and I should simply study more. But I am frustrated. I can’t put more into it than I already do.

My parents don’t understand what I’m going through.

How do I discuss it with them? -- Sick of Being a Failure Dear Sick: Your parents want you to have the education that will best prepare you for a well-rounded life and a good job. First, see if you can lighten your course load, taking fewer classes or ones that are not so demanding. Discuss your problems with an adviser. Also take some time to consider your future plans. Think of the type of career you would be interested in and what is required to achieve it. A four-year degree is not the only path to success. And perhaps you might consider returning to school after taking a year off to travel or work. Explore all your options. If you can present your parents with some concrete plans for your future, they will be more open to your ideas.

Dear Annie: I have witnessed my neighbors abusing their children. The preschoolers lived in so much fear of their father that they would hide behind my house. They showed me their bruises and told me about the horrific beatings. I immediately contacted Child Protective Services, but a week

later, the abuse was still continuing. I contacted CPS again and was told there was an “appointment” scheduled with the parents the following week. I said those kids could be dead in a week.

I then called the police, who responded immediately. My other neighbors had also contacted CPS without success. We agreed to call 911 any time we saw or heard abuse. The police responded immediately, every time.

Child Protective Services investigates reports of abuse, but it takes time. If you believe a child is in danger, call 911. It could save a life. -- Stop Child Abuse Dear Stop: Thank you for reminding our readers that in cases requiring an immediate response, the police are the appropriate authority to call because they are trained for such emergencies. Cases of child abuse would then be reported to Child Protective Services, which would investigate and determine whether the child should be removed from the home.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Quiet and Scared,” the high school senior who is afraid of public speaking.

In the small town where my kids went to school, if one wasn’t involved in sports, one was “a nobody.” My son had a few friends, but for years was picked on and teased. In high school, he joined the speech team. Within three weeks, his self-confidence skyrocketed. He spoke in front of others, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The material is often a poem or short story, so one isn’t judged on the content. My son met many people with similar interests who were supportive. He made lifelong friends and went on to become active in college politics and other organizations that involved public speaking.

If speech team is offered in school, all parents should encourage their kids to sign up. -- Proud Mom on the Northern Plains

LACONIA — Friends of Sandra Bettencourt Hart, a long-time City of Laconia employee who now works part-time for the Town of Gilford, are hosting a fundraising party on Sunday afternoon (May 22) to help her pay medical bills associated with a devastating eye injury suffered by her youngest son.

Two-year-old Grayden Hart recently sustained a serious eye injury and some of the cost of his treatment is not covered by his family’s insurance policy.

The fundraiser will be held in donated space at Pitman’s Freight Room on New Salem Street, from 2 to

Desserts (including made-to-order fried dough) and beverages will be available for purchase and there will be door prizes awarded that have donated by local businesses.

Admission will be by donation. “If one person can afford $5 and another can afford $20, everyone can attend,” said organizer Kristine Snow.

Snow said monetary donations can be made to Laconia Savings Bank, Grayden Hart Donation Fund.

Adult volunteers needed for Senior Companion Program CONCORD — The Senior Companion Program is looking for additional volunteers to support the frail elderly and homebound adults in the Lakes Region. The program plans to hold their next training classes in late June.

The Senior Companion Program is one of three Senior Corps Programs that uses the time and talent of older adults to provide services in their communities. Senior Companions, aged 55-plus, are trained to offer at no cost to the homebound and/or elderly citizens they visit, friendship and assistance so they may remain independent in their own homes. More than 75 active senior volunteers in Grafton, Belknap, Merrimack, Hillsborough, and Rockingham counties visit almost 500 of their frailer contemporaries through the program.

The Companions must meet income eligibility

Meredith Rotary Club to sponsor ‘Clean Up the Bay Day’ June 4

MEREDITH — The Meredith Rotary Club will sponsor “Clean Up the Bay Day” at Meredith Bay/ Hesky Park and Center Harbor Bay beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 4.

Members of the Club, along with residents and friends, will work on land and in boats removing trash from the two bay areas. Last year, volunteers “found some rather amazing debris in the water including fishing rods, a cell phone, a dollar bill, a shopping cart, several boat rugs, and one outboard motor with gas tank still attached to it,” according to Ginny Lovett, a member of the Rotary Club who helped organized the event.

In previous years, the event has brought 20 volunteers to the bays — some on foot, some with waders, in kayaks and boats, with diving gear, and on a donated barge that was used to help haul 17 bags of trash to shore to be picked up and disposed of by the Meredith Department of Public Works.

All are welcome to bring waders and/or clean-up tools and join this volunteer effort to “Clean Up the Bay.”
