Firefighters’ labor board case turned away By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Public Employee Labor Relations Board (PELRB) this week dismissed the charges of unfair labor practices against the city brought by the Laconia Professional Firefighters union. Mayor Mike Seymour said yesterday that he was pleased the matter has been resolved and looked to the resumption of contract negotiations. Union members
have been working without a contract since June 30 of last year. Chris Shipp of the Laconia Professional Firefighters could not be reached for comment. The union claimed that after making concessions demanded by the city during an initial round of negotiations, a tentative agreement was reached on May 5, 2010, after which the city asked the firefighters to forgo step increases. By presenting the wage proposal after agreement was

LACONIA — Both the owner and lien holders of a Weirs Beach landmark building gutted by flames last September have challenged the city’s recent order to demolish what’s left of the charred remains. The primary lien holders of the Wide Open Saloon challenged the city’s order claiming they haven’t had any access to the property and have not been able “correct any alleged hazardous condition.” The owner, Brandi Baldi, challenged the city to prove the building is unsafe and claimed that, even if it was, she hasn’t had enough time to negotiate a reasonable compromise. “The mortgagees have accelerated the balance due on the existing note and mortgage on the property in order to proceed with foreclosure proceedings ... to gain possession of the property,” wrote attorneys representing Alfred Mitchell and Andre Skonieczny. Paperwork on file with the Belknap County Registry of Deeds indicate Mitchell and Skonieczny sold the former Smoke House Restaurant and Motel to 38 Endicott Street North, a limited liability company owned by Brandi Baldi, for $450,000. Records show the two purchased the property the same day from DLT Real Estate for $350,000. Last month the Laconia City Council voted unanimously to order Baldi to tear down the shell because it was hazardous. see saLOON page 8

Dead boy’s grandmother pens letter to media in NE
CONCORD (AP) — The grandmother of the little boy found dead along a dirt road in Maine says she’s heartbroken over what happened to the bright child who liked to practice writing his letters and kick a football and soccer ball in the backyard. “Camden and I share the same birthday on March 15th, and my birthday will never be the same again,” LuRae McCrery of Curtis, Neb., said in an open letter to news media. “It seems like a very bad nightmare from which I will never wake up.” McCrery’s daughter, Julianne McCrery, was ordered held without bail Thursday on second-degree murder charges in New Hampshire. She’s accused of killing her son, 6-yearold Camden Hughes, in Hampton, N.H., on Saturday, and dumping his body in South Berwick, Maine. Preliminary autopsy findings showed he died of asphyxiation. Julianne McCrery, 42, of Irving, Texas, was detained Wednesday at a highway rest stop in Chelmsford, Mass., see BOY page 8

Face-to-face, Netanyahu rejects Obama’s border plan WASHINGTON (AP) — In a blunt display of differences, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the idea of using his country’s 1967 boundaries as the basis for a neighboring Palestinian state on Friday, declaring his objections face-toface to President Barack Obama who had raised the idea just 24 hours earlier in an effort to revive stalled Mideast peace talks. Though the two leaders, meeting in the Oval Office, found cordial and predictable agreement on the other central element that Obama outlined in his Mideast address Thursday — ironclad Israeli security alongside a Palestinian nation — progress on the bedrock issue of borders
seemed as elusive as ever. In his speech, Obama gave unprecedented prominence to a long-held U.S. stand that Israel opposes: A Palestinian state should be shaped around the border lines that existed before the 1967 war in which Israel took control of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. An essential part of what Obama proposed was that Israelis and Palestinians would also have to agree to swaps of land to account for Israeli settlements and other current conditions, a point Netanyahu failed to mention. “While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines,” Netanyahu
declared. “These lines are indefensible.” As they sat together for public comments after their private meeting, Obama sought to put the disagreement in the best light, and in the context of a relationship of two allies — one, however, showing strains of impatience. “Obviously there are some differences between us in the precise formulations and language,” Obama said. “That’s going to happen between friends.” He quickly added in a reassurance to Netanyahu: “What we are in complete accord about is that a true peace can only occur if the ultimate resolution allows see ISRAEL page 10
NEW YORK (AP) — A report by “60 Minutes” says George Hincapie, a longtime member of Lance Armstrong’s inner circle, has told federal authorities he saw the seven-time Tour de France winner use performance-enhancing drugs. A segment of the report aired Friday night on the “CBS Evening News,” one day after it broadcast an interview with another former member of Armstrong’s
U.S. Postal Service team, Tyler Hamilton, who said he also used PEDs with Armstrong. Hincapie has often been depicted as one of Armstrong’s most loyal teammates and was with him for all seven Tour victories. In an interview last year, Armstrong said Hincapie was “like a brother to me.” Hincapie is among a number of former Armstrong teammates and employees
who have appeared before a federal grand jury in Los Angeles investigating doping in cycling. Hamilton said he testified for six hours before the panel. Armstrong has never tested positive and has steadfastly denied doping. Using unidentified sources, “60 Minutes” reported that Hincapie testified that he and Armstrong supplied each other see ARMSTRONG page 11

LHS/LRGH partnership proving to be a model for ‘Extended Learning Opportunities’ By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA —Laconia High School senior Emily Dionne’s presentation of her extended learning opportunity on Monday, May 16 marked the conclusion of a two-semester-long independent study at Lakes Region General Hospital. It also represented a maturation of the relatively new relationship between two of the city’s oldest institutions: LHS and the hospital. Administrators at the high school said the development of the relationship is possible thanks to Marge Kerns, who as director of the hospital’s pharmacy services and a former School Board member is in a unique position to connect the two parties. The high school has been offering extended learning opportunities, ELOs in short, for four years. The new type of learning program, now proliferating throughout New Hampshire high schools, allow students to design and follow their own independent curriculum, often allowing them to follow their interests outside of the school’s confines. Bob Ewell, one of the high school staff that administer ELOs, said about a hundred high school students have takem advantage of the program this school year. Rebecca Pawlowski, who graduated last year, was the first high school student to pursue an ELO at the hospital. Like Dionne, Pawlowski’s interests led her to the hospital’s pharmacy. Dionne modeled her ELO after Pawlowski’s. Dionne’s ELO, she explained at her presentation, started with an internship at the pharmacy in which she shadowed a pharmacy technician and a pharmacist. She conducted a case study, using a real-life situation culled from the hospital’s files. Dionne read and gave a presentation about “The BillionDollar Molecule,” a non-fiction book that convinced her she didn’t want to go into the business of pharmaceutical research and development. The most difficult part of her ELO was the research into how oral medications are absorbed into the body, research she completed using texts from the hospital’s library. “One of the things I learned is how complex the pharmacist’s job is,” she said.

Dionne, who enjoys science and math, had suspected that pharmacy might be a good field for her. The ELO, she said, confirmed this suspicion and made her feel confident as she prepares to enter University of Rhode Island’s pharmacy program in the fall. “It was something I looked forward to every day, to get out and have a hands-on experience.” Dionne said. “From these experiences, I think I’d like to work in a hospital. It showed me there’s more to a pharmacist’s job than people would think of when they think of a stereotypical pharmacist.” As well as

employing a knowledge of chemistry, anatomy and physiology, she learned, pharmacists need to exercise attention to detail, thoroughness, organization and good communication skills. “Life or death decisions are being made.” Dionne, said Kerns, fit into the hospital’s pharmacy so well that she could have passed for one of the every day staff. About two years ago, when Kerns explained the prospect of high school students shadowing pharmacists, she said there were some raised eyebrows at the hospital. “This was see ELO page 8

Ignorance at $100/barrel The big five of Big Oil might want to mull over a bit of advice that baseball great Ted Williams once offered to rookies: “If you don’t think too good, don’t think too much.” Apparently, the chieftains of BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Shell thought that a bit of gruff, CEO bluster would be just the thing to brush back public anger over the industry’s all-star avarice and arrogance. Bad thinking. Last week, the head of these multibillion-dollar behemoths, pumped up on narcissism, strode into a U.S. Senate hearing room and took wild swings at a bill titled: Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes. In a time of $4-a-gallon gasoline, stratospheric rises in petro profits and a federal budget deficit severe enough that Republicans have called for killing Medicare, the spark that exploded the public’s fury at oil giants was the revelation that the big five are on the government dole, drawing more than $2-billion a year in corporate welfare payments. Exxon’s top exec flailed at the bill, absurdly labeling it “discriminatory.” Next up was Shell’s man, who feigned almost-comic outrage at the notion that our nation’s budget deficit should be reduced “by taking more from the few,” as though he was unaware that “the few” in question are notorious tax dodgers, paying little or nothing on their enormous profits. Wildest of all though was Conoco’s chief, Jim Mulva, who inflamed senators and insulted the public by calling the bill “un-American.” No, Mr. Mulva, what’s un-American is that you five clueless CEOs expect to haul in $100-billion in profits this year, yet you’re whining that you should be given $2-billion in special tax breaks, even as little kids are being cut off from Head Start and the GOP threatens to take Medicare away from grandma. Start thinking about someone besides your sorry selves. As one politician bluntly said of Washington’s annual tax giveaway to massively profitable oil corporations: “We don’t need incentives to the oil and gas companies to explore. There are plenty of incentives.” That was no lefty basher of Big Oil talking, it was George W. Bush.
Yet, thanks to an army of lobbyists and the regular delivery of bushel baskets full of campaign cash, the oil guys have been allowed to keep drilling into our public treasury, pumping out some $4-billion a year in various tax subsidies — more than half of which goes to the five richest corporations. Incentives for what? Not to explore for more oil, hire more Americans or invest in renewable energy. Instead, top executives have spent the vast majority of their huge profits driving up their own corporation’s stock prices to enrich — who else? — themselves. This is why oil executives are less popular than a Mississippi River flood. Indeed, despite being called “un-American” by Conoco, the congressional proposal to repeal the loopholes is supported by 74-percent of us Americans, including a majority of Republicans. Yet, in March, every single Republican in the House voted in lockstep to protect all of the oil subsidies. Also, the budget that the GOP rammed through the House last month retains every dime of the $4-billion giveaway, even as that budget slashes food stamps, job training, college aid, and health care for seniors and the poor. But it’s the poor oil goliaths that draw the tongue-clucking sympathy of these compassionate corporatists. For example, GOP presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty called the idea of ending the subsidy “ludicrous,” wailing that killing it would be a crude “tax increase” on the waifs of Big Oil. Meanwhile, Chevron’s CEO says: “I don’t think people want shared sacrifice (from oil corporations). I think they want shared prosperity.” Hello, Earth to Chevron-Man, you’ve been grossly prosperous for years — where’s the sharing? If ignorance goes to $100 a barrel, try to get drilling rights on that guy’s head. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
HB-549 has ended 46 years of age discrimination in this state To the editor, I would like to thank the members of the N.H. Senate & House for their support in the passing of HB-549. This bill, signed by the governor on May 16th, has eliminated an age discrimination practice against senior drivers which had existed in New
Hampshire for the past 46 years. Thanks to all who helped and supported our efforts to end the discriminatory practice affecting over 60,000 senior drivers age 75 and over. Bill Whalen Sanbornton
LETTERS HB-47 will force union bosses to provide real value to members To the editor, In his letter printed May 19, Martin Carney says he is a proud union member and he wants to be a union member. I am happy for every union member who feels that way, and I would oppose any interference with their right to continue as union members. He also says that people are not “forced” to join a union and that is technically correct. If your employer is unionized, you can join the union, you can pay fees to an organization you don’t wish to support, or you can give up your job. Our country and our government were created primarily for one purpose, to protect people’s liberty. It is inconsistent with liberty to force a person to support a private organization that he or she doesn’t want to support. Unfortunately, some N.H. citizens are currently forced to support private organizations (unions) they don’t wish to simply to get or keep their jobs. To stop this infringement on worker liberty, the N.H. Legislature passed a Right-to-Work bill (HB-474). HB-474 has NO affect on workers like Martin Carney who want to join unions or remain union members. HB-474 has NO affect on unionizing a workplace. HB-474 has NO affect on the ability of the union to represent its members in negotiations with employers. HB-474 has NO affect on existing contracts. It applies to new contracts and extensions or renewals of existing
contracts on or after January 1, 2012. HB-474 does allow workers to get a job or keep a job without joining or supporting a union. (The vast majority of American private sector employees choose not to unionize although they could. These workers satisfactorily negotiate with employers. New Hampshire workers are also smart enough to negotiate with employers if they choose not to join a union.) HB-474 does enable workers to choose to support or not support a union without affecting those workers who want to be union members, every worker wins. HB-474 does force union bosses to provide real value to union members, not just benefits to the bosses themselves and their friends. This is because dissatisfied union members can switch to a more satisfactory union or drop out of the union. HB-474 is opposed by union bosses and their political friends because it shifts power to workers and takes it away from union bosses and their political friends. By vetoing HB-474 (Right-to-Work) Governor Lynch sided with the union bosses against the interests of New Hampshire workers. Hopefully our Legislature will override the governor’s veto and show that New Hampshire Senators and Representatives care more about New Hampshire workers than about union bosses and their friends.

Our representatives worked hard for us on boat speed issue To the editor, This week the N.H. House voted for the fourth time for the reasonable speed limits law on Lake Winnipesaukee. The vote was 276 for the people and 75 for the fast boaters. There will not be the elimination of speed limits on the entire lake nor a dangerous speed zone in the Broads as was asked for by a small special interest group from Goffstown. Our Lakes Regions representatives worked hard for us by testifying before the House Transportation Committee (who then voted to kill the bill) , on the floor of the House and in the back halls where a great deal of educating is done. The five reps from Laconia get special mention
Flanders, Frank Tilton, Bob Luther, Harry Accornero and Bob Kingsbury. From Gilford, Alida Milliham, from Alton, Peter Bolster and Elaine Swinford from Barnstead. Our Lakes Region reps worked for the super majority of voters who know that the culture of safety on the lake is vital for our residents and tourists. The lake drives our economic development and our very important tourist industry. Our reps put in long hours with no pay working to represent us, the voters! Special thanks to the Laconia City Council for supporting safety and to the Executive Board of the Lakes Region Planning Commission. Thank you all. Warren Hutchins

LETTERS WOW Trail has graffiti control plan; our volunteers have it covered To the editor, In light of the recent news of a new occurrence of graffiti on the WOW Trail, I wanted to take an opportunity to let the community know that the WOW Trail Board of Directors has already put an anti-graffiti plan in place. The plan was developed in consultation with the Laconia Parks and Recreation Director and it is an example of efforts to minimize costs to the city for maintaining the trail. Having studied the benefits and problems with rail trails over the years, we fully expected graffiti control to be a fact of maintenance and found effective ways to address and discourage it. The best way to discourage graffiti is: 1) remove it as soon as it occurs, and 2) to involve local youth in the care of the trail. These strategies are currently in place and are working. Abutters of the trail and the Laconia Police Department report much improved conditions along the corridor. To facilitate graffiti removal, all of the completed murals were coated last September with an anti-graffiti coating. The coating makes it very difficult for paint and marker ink to stick to the surface. Graffiti can be wiped off with soap and water or by power washing. The two murals that are being completed (the lake scene on Messer Street by Maureen BienarzPond and the Healthy Eating Active Living mural at Moulton Street) will also be coated once they are complete. The coating is a bit pricey per gallon but the WOW Trail received a gra-
cious and significant discount from Sherwin Williams here in Laconia and the entire cost of the coating was donated by a local trail supporter. The coating was applied by volunteers: Barry Chapin, Dave Pollack and Rob Aquilina from Lakes Region Community College, and by me. Barry Chapin has also volunteered as our point person to remove graffiti. Claire Hebert (Melcher and Prescott), Tammy Levesque (HEAL Program) and local artist Aisling Petipas have worked hard to include students in designing and painting some of the murals. In addition, parents and students from the Laconia Middle Schools will be instituting monthly clean–ups of the trail. Cantin’s Auto Dealership & NAPA Auto Parts agreed to cut and maintain the brush in front of their retaining walls so that two of the murals could be painted and the city will continue brush cutting on the Messer Street DPW property to keep two murals visible. The WOW Trail is likely the only rail trail in the country with so much artwork in one mile! The care and tending of the trail demonstrated by the businesses, residents and employees in Laconia & the Lakes Region is the hallmark of an incredibly strong community. So please alert us to any issues you may find but don’t despair over occasional episodes of graffiti. Our dedicated volunteers have it covered. Diane Hanley Gilford
Perhaps we should organize a pro SB-2 meeting for Shaker voters To the editor, I agree with T. Gephard and urge those considering trying to get the Shaker School Board under better control in their spending to start now in planning to petition them for an SB-2 article next year. You know they will be prepared and have the meeting stacked as always to attempt to prevent SB-2 from passing. What are they afraid of? I found it interesting again to read how other school district employees have not accepted pay raises in the recent past in the Sun today and have stepped up to the plate and are now assuming more of their health care costs/. . . commendable to say the least. Now, did the Shaker Regional do the same? No, they instead asked for another increase at
the past meeting and got it. I have asked before and will ask again for the Shaker Regional School Board to make available the salaries of all employees within the district. Obviously I have yet to see any such item printed anywhere. The taxpayers in this district might be shocked to see how well they are paid. The town on the other hand prints their employee salaries in the town report. Perhaps we should organize a meeting where those in favor of SB-2 for the school district can get together. Count me in for any such meeting. Post a letter here where all can hear about it. Post a notice at the post office might be a good idea as well. Don Irvin Belmont
When will Congress grow a backbone and call Obama to task? To the editor, When the president of the United States of America is elected he swears on the Bible to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. It looks like this president did not get the memo and may have used the wrong Bible. Since he has been elected he has done more to tear down our country than any hostile government has done in the past 40 years. He praises our enemies and puts down our allies. He is determined to keep us dependent on foreign oil that hold us hostage and causes our food prices to soar and drives down our economy. He has put our country into a debt we may
never be able to recover from. He has betrayed our friends and allies and has championed the cause that set in motion the destruction of Israel. As far as I know there are still two other branches of our government. Why are they silent? When will they grow a backbone and take a stand by calling the president to task. Many of us are troubled by his “foreign policy” and our standing in the world. We are on a slippery slope and if we do not speak out our freedoms we hold so dear will be gone and we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Rep. Harry Accornero Laconia

Where was she when Carol Shea Porter was being yelled at? To the editor, A supporter of Rep. Guinta recently publicly complained that a few people were “rude” to Mr. Guinta at his town hall. I wonder why she did not protest when Mr. Guinta’s fans packed Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter’s town halls screaming things like “shut up, we didn’t come here to listen to you” and “you lie!”, all of which were reported in local papers and on TV, so she had to know. She never wrote a letter to complain about that boorish behavior.
This woman also claimed that Carol Shea-Porter did not hold town halls. Our former congresswoman had 13 just in that last year, and many more over the four years, answering questions and calmly taking the abuse that was directed at her. Since civility is important, perhaps this woman might want to monitor both opponents and supporters of Mr Guinta, instead of being just one more partisan pointing fingers. Susan Dolan New Durham
I’m disgusted with state’s 540 decision for Waukewan & Winona To the editor, I’ll keep it short — Lake Waukewan and Lake Winona need help. Yes, the LAKES need our help as we have created the artificial level that now erodes the shores once again. Clearly Jim Weber’s and Steve Doyon understood that. The taxpayers around the lake also need help. We followed proper channels and expected those creating a decision could use an unbiased and educated review of documentation of levels as shown back to AT LEAST
the early 1960s and realize that you are permanently altering the health of the lake, the value of the properties, and the trust of those watching your decisions. Count me in as disgusted and disappointed in DES’s careless “540” decision. Who is guiding your decision — what happened to a ‘facts based’ decision ? Disgusting ! Diane Jackson, Ed.D.

To the editor, I talk to a lot of different people, each with different gifts and abilities. I learn from almost everyone that I come in contact with. Each person has an ability for thinking that we can benefit from. Whenever I start to think of myself as better than someone else the Lord humbles me, usually very quickly. I mean this not to be insulting. I read Derek Case’s letter of 5/19/11 in response to Steve Earl’s letter, which was a response to an ear-
lier letter by Derek. I do not wish to comment on the content of the letter except for Derek’s attitude. I quote, “and others like himself are unable to see though lies which are so obvious to those of us with a natural gift for thinking.” Those sound to be the words of an arrogant man. Derek if you want to be listened to, please do an attitude check. John Demakowski Franklin

Welcome back: Red Sox spoil Cubs first visit to Fenway since 1918, 15-5 BOSTON (AP) — Adrian Gonzalez had four of Boston’s 19 hits, adding four RBIs on Friday night as the Red Sox welcomed the Chicago Cubs back to Fenway Park for the first time since 1918 by beating them 15-5. Kevin Youkilis had two doubles and a two-run homer, and Jacoby Ellsbury also had three hits for Boston, which won its seventh consecutive game. The Red Sox are 22-10 since losing 10 of their first 12 games; they have passed the New York Yankees for the first time this season, and now trail the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays by just a half-game. Jon Lester (6-1) won his sixth straight decision despite giving up a career-high 12 hits. He allowed five runs, two walks and a hit batter, strik-
ing out five. Jarrod Saltalamacchia also homered for Boston, and Scott Atchison earned his first save with three innings of scoreless relief. Jeff Baker had four hits and Aramis Ramirez three for Chicago, which was coming off a two-game sweep of the Florida Marlins. Doug Davis (0-2) gave up seven runs on eight hits and three walks, striking out three in 3 2-3 innings. It was the Cubs’ first visit to Fenway Park since the 1918 World Series, a milestone that for decades reminded Boston fans of the franchise’s failure but now stands as a landmark only for Chicago as it seeks its first championship since 1908. Cubs fans made their presence known in the sellout crowd of 37,140, outcheering the locals at times. There
was even an appearance of the Blues Brothers in the stands. But the Chicago players did not adapt well to their new surroundings, committing four errors plus a dropped flyball by right fielder Reed Johnson that was changed to a double. The Red Sox scored two in the first, one of them on a throwing error by catcher Koyie Hill when he tried to catch Jacoby Ellsbury stealing third. The Cubs tied it at 2 in the third, but Boston scored two more in the bottom half and then made it 8-2 with four more runs in the fourth. After Gonzalez’s two-run single chased Davis, Scott Maine came in and gave up a two-run homer to Youkilis. The Cubs cut it to 8-5 in the fifth, scoring two on a double by Johnson.
Saltalamacchia led off the bottom half with a homer and Boston added another run to make it 10-5, then scored two more in the eighth. The Red Sox won the 1918 Series in six games, with just 15,238 fans settling into Fenway to watch the clincher. (The Chicago History Museum recently published a document indicating that Cubs players might have been paid to throw the Series.) Babe Ruth, who won two games in the series, entered the final game as a defensive replacement in left field. Just two months later, World War I ended. With two titles in this century, the Red Sox have left their futility behind. But the Cubs are still looking for their first championship in more than a century.
says Moulton, who has had to adjust his planting schedule and recently ordered more corn seed with an early maturity date in order to compensate for a shorter growing season. Howe says that while the wet weather is keeping him from planting, the cold and lack of sunshine is also keeping the ground colder than usual and preventing seeds from germinating. “The soil temperatures are the same as they were three weeks ago. They’re in the upper 40s and lower 50s. We need the upper 50s and lower 60s for the seeds to sprout and grow,’’ says Howe. Moulton has the same problem. “Our super seed corn wants things above 50 degrees and we’re only in the high 40s right now,’’ says Moulton. He says the problem isn’t unusual,
just a variation of what farmers have faced over the years. “Spring is always the most challenging time of year for farmers. We’ve been through it before and just have to adjust and plant when we can.’’ Howe says the wet ground also promotes the growth of fungus and bacteria and was preparing to check his strawberry plants to see how they are being affected. Strawberries usually start ripening in mid-June, which is only four weeks away. We’re getting ready to get out with some fungicide to keep that problem from developing,’’ says Howe. He says that his peas, lettuce and other cold-weather crops are doing
well and that he has five acres of corn growing under a plastic cover. Moulton says he’ll start harvesting lettuce from fields he uses in upland areas next week and that other crops like peas and spinach are flourishing. “There’s no way now to tell the outcome of everything. Last May was wet and cool and we faced many frosts at the end of May. But it turned out to be a great summer for growing things. That could happen again this year,’’ he says. Howe is also cautiously optimistic. The first half of May last year was terrible. But it turned out to be the best summer we ever had in the 30 years that I’ve been here. We’ll all catch up, sooner or later’’ says Howe.
Prolonged wet weather keeping farmers out of the field at planting time By RogeR Amsden AMSDEN NEWS SERVICE
GILFORD — Area farmers are hoping for a break from a week-long spell of wet weather which has kept them from their fields during the crucial mid to late May planting season. “The rain has brought everything in the fields to a standstill,’’ says Andy Howe of Beans and Greens in Gilford, where the ends of some of his fields in the Meadows area have standing water several inches deep. The same is true at Moulton Farm in Meredith, where owner John Moulton says he can’t get his tractors out into the soggy, wet fields. “When the wheels won’t turn, you can’t get out and plant. If the wheels will turn, we’ll go out and do the work,’’

SALOON from page one The council had hoped to have the building leveled before the annual Motorcycle Week that begins June 11. The two sides are scheduled to make oral arguments in Laconia District Court on May 26 at 1 p.m. In a related action, Baldi also filed suit in Belknap
County Superior Court against the insurance company Lloyds of London, which has thus far failed to pay off on the claim she filed. According to the paperwork, Lloyds has until early July to file a response.
FIREFIGHTERS from page one to keeping an open line of communication with you during these negotiations.” Contract negotiations began in January, 2010, six months before the expiration of the old agreement. The union agreed to forgo a cost of living adjustment (COLA) but asked for a “me too” clause, providing that if any municipal employees were granted pay raises other than “step” pay increases, which were assumed, the firefighters would be awarded the same increase. The union requested an assurance that there would be no lay offs or changes in the assignment of overtime with no decrease in staffing. Finally, the union sought an assurance that the dollar amount of the employee contribution to the health insurance premium would not be increased. A month later City Manager Eileen Cabanel advised the union’s attorney, that the City Council would not agree to the “me too” and “no lay off” clauses, but indicated that the other proposals were acceptable. When city officials and union representatives next met on May 5 the union withdrew the two clauses. Soon afterward, the State Employees Association (SEA), representing employees of the Department of Public Works, entered a tentative agreement with the city, in which the union agreed to forgo step increases for the one-year term of the contract. Caba-
nel anticipated the council would expect the same of the other unions and on May 10 the firefighters were asked to consider foregoing step increases. A week later a union representative replied that “we wouldn’t be open to foregoing our step raises for the upcoming contract year.” The PELRB unanimously agreed with the city that no tentative agreement was reached in May. The board found that notes taken at the bargaining session on May 5 indicate that several outstanding issues remained to be negotiated, including step increases. Likewise, the board ruled that there is no material in documentary record to indicate that the parties entered a tentative agreement. The PELRB also dismissed the union’s claim that the city behaved improperly during the course of negotiations. On behalf of the city, City Manager Eileen Cabanel conducted the negotiations in consultation with the City Council, which reviews and acts on negotiated cost items. In its decision, the board ruled that the city manager did not misrepresent her authority, mislead the union or fail to accurately represent the views of the City Council. Instead, it found that the consultations between the city manager and the City Council “were intended as a aid to the bargaining process” and did not “hinder, delay or frustrate bargaining.”
ELO from page one something we didn’t know if it would work out. It worked out really well.” Kerns, whose service on the School Board coincided with the development of the ELO model at the high school, said she was eager to develop the relationship between the school and the hospital because both institutions benefit. The students get a real-world education and the hospital helps develop the talent pool that it will require. Kerns said, at the hospital, “One of our roles is to teach and we’ll get benefits from that because some of these kids will come back to us.” BOY from page one after police got a tip about her pickup truck, which matched a vehicle seen near the spot where the boy’s body was found. Friends have described her as a loving mother who was prone to mood swings; a lawyer who represented her at a brief hearing in Massachusetts said based on his conversations with her, he thinks she may have traveled hundreds of miles from home with the idea of taking her son’s life and committing suicide. Julianne’s other son, who’s in the Navy, said he spoke to his mother Saturday and said she seemed upset but told him she was OK. Ian McCrery expressed disbelief that his mother could’ve killed her son, telling WCVB-TV she was “one of the greatest moms ever.” The Navy said Ian McCrery declined an interview request from The Associated Press. School officials in Texas said the boy last attended kindergarten on May 6, and that his mother continued to call this week to report that he was ill. Meanwhile, the case was drawing national attention as the boy went unidentified for days. Residents of South Berwick held a candlelight vigil in his honor. “It was very special of your city to remember someone that nobody ever knew,” LuRae McCrery wrote in her letter. “There are so many family and friends that are profoundly affected by this senseless loss of a little boy.” On Friday, the sign outside the motel where McCrery and her son spent one night read, “God Bless Camden.”

Ashland selectman resigns in wake of shoplifting charge
ASHLAND — Former Selectman Chair Dennis Potter confirmed yesterday he had resigned in the wake of his arrest in Plymouth for shoplifting. Town Administrator Paul Branscombe confirmed yesterday that Potter submitted a letter of resignation at the May 16 Selectboard meeting. When reached by telephone, Potter declined to comment further. Plymouth Police Chief Steve Temperino said a warrant was issued on April 30 for Potter’s arrest and he turned himself into the police station. He is free on personal recognizance bail. Temperino said the investigation and subsequent arrest stemmed from an incident at a commercial establishment on Tenney Mountain Highway on April 23. Potter is scheduled to appearing Plymouth District Court on June 13. Potter was serving his second term. Elected Chair of the newly reconstituted three-person board, he was also the selectmen’s representative to the Budget Committee and the Planning Board. At press time it was unknown what action, if any, the town’s remaining selectmen will take to replace him. — Gail Ober (Ashland Selectmen Jeanette Stewart is an employee of The Laconia Daily Sun in the advertising department.

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The City Council will consider taking a position on the controversial “Right-ToWork” bill when it meets Monday evening. House Bill 474 would forbid agreements between labor unions and employers requiring employees to join a union or paying any part of union dues as a condition of employment, either before or after they are hired. After carrying both the House and Senate the bill was promptly vetoed by Governor John Lynch, presenting the first trial of strength between the overwhelmingly Republican legislator and the fourterm Democratic governor. The 16 to 8 margin in the Senate met the two-thirds majority required to override a veto, but the bill has yet to command a veto-proof majority in the House, where Speaker Bill O’Brien (R-Mont Vernon)has said “if we don’t win this veto, we might as well go home.” A vote override vote in expected to take place on Wednesday. The council agenda includes a draft letter to the 18 Republican representatives from Belknap County declaring that “we strongly disagree with Governor Lynch’s veto of this bill and believe making New Hampshire a “right to work” state is important to the future of our state’s business growth.” The letter cites an article in the Wall Street Journal claiming that output, payrolls and income have grown fastest in “right to work” states.

When O’Brien spoke to the Belknap County Republican Committee earlier this month he said that the bill would overcome an “impediment to growth in New Hampshire,” suggesting that BMW overlooked New Hampshire and chose to open a plant in South Carolina, where “right to work is the law. He also pointed out that because public employee unions “cycle public money to the Democratic Party,” the bill is good for the Republican Party. In his veto message, the governor noted that New Hampshire, which enjoys the highest median household income of all 50 states, has a stronger economy and lower unemployment than most “right to work” states and is among the safest and healthiest states in the country. He said he knows of no firm that has failed to expand or no employee who failed to find work for lack of a “right to work” law. The bill, Lynch said, does not address problems confronting employers and employees in New Hampshire, but would simply “interfere with the right of private businesses to freely negotiate and enter into contracts with their employees.”

ISRAEL from page one Israel to defend itself against threats, and that Israel’s security will remain paramount in U.S. evaluation of any prospective deal.” Obama and Netanyahu showed cordiality before the cameras. The president listened intently, his hand cupping his chin, as Netanyahu spoke passionately about his country’s plight and how the path to peace should run. “Remember that, before 1967, Israel was all of nine miles wide,” Netanyahu said, emphasizing his words with his hands. “It was half the width of the Washington Beltway. And these were not the boundaries of peace; they were the boundaries of repeated wars, because the attack on Israel was so attractive.” Obama, frustrated by Mideast peace talks that have collapsed, is seeking to get both sides to contend with the issues of borders and security. Even progress on those enormous fronts would still leave unsettled the fate of Jerusalem and of Palestinian refugees. Netanyahu underscored just how difficult that last issue is alone, declaring that Palestinians will not be allowed to settle in Israel as part of any peace plan. “It’s not going to happen. Everybody knows it’s not going to happen,” he said. “And I think it’s time to tell the Palestinians forthrightly it’s not going to happen.” Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Netanyahu’s comments with Obama were tantamount to “his total rejection of the Obama vision and speech.” “Without Mr. Netanyahu committing to two states on the 1967 lines, with mutually agreed swaps, he is not a partner to the peace process,” Erekat said. “I think, when President Obama gave him a choice between dictation and negotiations, he chose dictation.”
On the border matter, the Obama administration up until now has tried to summarize the positions of each party but had not taken a position itself. Obama’s direct reference to the 1967 borders and land swaps in his speech incensed Israel, adding tension to the atmosphere of Netanyahu’s visit. As Obama pushes for a return to negotiations that he championed prominently last year, that prospect seems bleak. Netanyahu said his nation could not negotiate with a Palestinian unity government that includes the radical Hamas movement, which refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist. He said that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had to choose between continuing the deal with Hamas and making peace with Israel. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Netanyahu’s rejection of a return to 1967 lines was “clear evidence that the negotiations option was a waste of time.” The comments from Netanyahu and Obama, after a longer-than-scheduled meeting that lasted over an hour-anda-half, shed little light on how the peace process will advance. The two leaders did not take questions from the press, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was unable in a subsequent briefing to point to any concrete signs of progress. Netanyahu is to address Congress on Tuesday to press Israel’s position. On Thursday, Netanyahu was informed shortly before Obama’s speech of its contents by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to U.S. officials. Netanyahu sought in vain to get the border language removed from the speech, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive diplomatic exchange.

Belmont mobile home fire quickly brought under control BELMONT — A fire in a manufactured home on 17 1st Street in Mallards Landing Development was brought quickly under control early yesterday morning. According to Police Chief David Parenti, the fire was spotted by a newspaper delivery person at 6:33 a.m. and he called 9-1-1. Belmont Fire Department’s engine reached the unoccupied dwelling at 6:37 a.m. and reported both flames and smoke coming from one side of the home and Parenti said firefighters knocked down the bulk of the fire within 10 minutes.
He said it appears the blaze was caused by heat tape wrap and originated under the building. He said the tape, a tape heated by electricity and wrapped around water pipes to prevent freezing, apparently short-circuited. He said the fire quickly spread through one side of the house when it reached a clothes dryer ventilation duct. He said the homeowner lives in Merrimack and used the home for the summer season. Parenti said Laconia and Tilton-Northfield firefighters assisted and there were no injuries. — Gail Ober
PSNH begins work on Ayers Island Hydro plant on Mon. BRISTOL — Public Service of New Hampshire is expected to begin construction at its Ayers Island Hydro Station on Monday, May 23. Crews from Abington Group, the project’s contractor, currently plan to work from approximately 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. PSNH anticipates the project will be completed in December. The Ayers Island Remediation Project involves installing a reinforcement system to the dam to remediate the calculated risk of a catastrophic dam
failure during a large transverse (cross canyon) earthquake. This type reinforcement system is required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The 8.4 megawatt Ayers Island Hydro Station sits on the Pemigewasset River, between the towns of Bristol and New Hampton. Ayers Island is PSNH’s northernmost hydro station in the Merrimack River Basin, and home to the company’s popular online Osprey Cam.
Franklin woman said identified from bank surveillance camera BELMONT — Police yesterday reported the woman who allegedly attempted to use a stolen debit card at a Northway Bank earlier this month has been arrested. Chief Vincent Baiocchetti said Brandi Lockhart, 32, of 46 Sanborn St. Apt. 2 in Franklin faces one Class A Felony charge of identity theft. She was arrested by Tilton Police Wednesday on a warrant issued by the Belmont Police and is scheduled to appear in Laconia District Court on June 16.
Police used a surveillance camera video to release pictures of Lockhart through the media to area residents and Baiocchetti said police fielded a number of tips enabling them to make an arrest reasonably quickly. Anyone with information on this or any other crime is urged to call Belmont Police at 267-8351 or send a text message to “BPDNH plus your tip” to 274637 (CRIMES). — Gail Ober
ARMSTRONG from page one the endurance-boosting substance EPO and discussed having used another banned substance, testosterone, to prepare for races. Citing the ongoing investigation, Hincapie declined to be interviewed by “60 Minutes,” which will air its piece on the Armstrong investigation at 7 p.m. EDT Sunday. Reached by The Associated Press at the Tour of California in Solvang, Hincapie said he didn’t want to talk about the “60 Minutes” report. “It’s just unfortunate that that’s all people want to talk about now,” he said. “I’m not going to partake in any cycling-bashing. I have done everything to be the best I can be. ... I want the focus on the future of the sport, what it’s done to clean itself up. I believe in cycling and want to support it.” Later, Hincapie released a statement through his attorney: “I can confirm to you that I never spoke with ‘60 Minutes.’ I have no idea where they got their information.

cycling instead of the future.

from preceding page grand jury and so can’t comment on these anonymously sourced reports.” The Hincapie and Hamilton revelations come a year after Floyd Landis, who had his 2006 Tour title stripped for using steroids, turned the focus of the feds’ cycling investigation onto Armstrong, claiming he and Armstrong had both used drugs while on the U.S. Postal team. But while Hamilton and Landis have credibility problems that Armstrong has pointed out — both cyclists denied using drugs for years before changing their story and implicating Armstrong — there aren’t nearly as many issues with Hincapie. The 37-year-old cyclist from New York has no known positive tests. He was on the Postal team even before Armstrong and, once Armstrong joined it, the two were frequent roommates on the road. When Landis alleged that drug use was common on the U.S. Postal team — and included Hincapie among those who doped — Hincapie responded by saying, “It bothers me, because I’ve been doing this for 17 years and never heard anything bad about me.” After CBS aired the Hamilton interview Thursday night, the cyclist gave his 2004 Olympic gold medal back to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which said it is working with the International and U.S. Olympic committees on an investigation. “60 Minutes” also released an excerpt from another Armstrong teammate, Frankie Andreu, who said he took banned substances because lesser riders he believed were doping were passing him during races. “Things were just getting faster and faster and sprinters were getting over the big mountains and winning, you know, climbing stages,” Andreu said in the interview.

TILTON from page one along Route 132 and then a portion of Business Park Drive was included in the warrant article to raise and appropriate funds to convert 61 Business Park Drive to a police station and, in the event the article failed, also presented as a separate warrant article. The omnibus article failed in March and, after a vote to reconsider, failed again in April. Likewise, the separate article on the water line also failed in April, but was also resurrected by vote to reconsider. Originally the proposed called for the town to borrow $650,000 to construct the water line on the understanding, confirmed by a formal agreement, that Casey Nickerson, the owner of the business park, would share the cost evenly with the town. However, when the meeting convened last night Selectman Katherine Dawson offered an amendment providing that Nickerson would advance the town $325,000 for his share of the project and the town would draw on its undesignated fund balance to finance its share. The amendment required a simple majority vote and, if adopted, would eliminate borrowing from the warrant article — and with it the requirement for a two-thirds majority. In other words, if the amendment were adopted, the article could be carried by a simple majority. “This is not about the police station,” declared Pat Consentino. “It is about economic development.” She explained that there are 12 undeveloped lots in the park, all taxed under current use, which together generate $200 per year in revenue. With municipal
water, she said that the same lots, without buildings, would have an aggregate value of $1,682,700 and generate $34,344 in property tax revenue. In addition, a 10-percent land use change tax would be levied on the lots, returning $168,270 to the Conservation Commission. Consentino, who was echoed by town administrator Joyce Fulweiler and Jane Alden of the Budget Committee, stressed that the water line would enhance the value and marketability of the lots in the park, including the two owned by the town, bringing jobs and revenue to the town. “Let’s make intelligent decisions,” Alden implored. She noted that the town owned 61 Business Park Drive and stressed that “the sound business decision is to make use of what we’re already paying taxes for.” “This project will not raise your taxes,” Fulweiler said, drawing skeptical laughter from the crowd. Finance Director Tim Pearson said that by financing the project with cash rather than borrowing, the town would be spared $461,000 in principal and interest payments over the term of a 20-year note. The undesignated fund balance, he said, stood at $726,000 and with the withdrawal of $325,000 would be sufficient to satisfy the guidelines set by the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration. “It is something we can finance internally,” Pearson said. Tom Gallant reminded the meeting that Business Park Drive is a town road, built to municipal standards by Nickerson, who also paid for sewer and gas line to the industrial park. He urged the town to invest in the partnership that would benefit both parties.
Aiding county jail assault leads to state prison term for 23-year-old
LACONIA — A former Gilford Avenue resident was sentenced to serve one to three years in the New Hampshire State Prison for being an accomplice to assaulting a prisoner. Six months of the minimum sentence was suspended. Travis Marsh, 23, formerly of 177-B Gilford Ave. was incarcerated at the Belknap County Jail when he held a bathroom door shut to allow one male pris-
oner to punch another one. Jason Cram, 21, was sentenced in April to one to two years in the NHSP for his role in the attack. Marsh was serving a one-year sentence for violating the terms of his parole for a using a shotgun to break down the bedroom door in his home while people were hiding from him. The crime of assault by prisoners is a felony.

PEMBROKE, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire high school’s win on the baseball field has secured it the national high school record for consecutive victories — 76. Portsmouth High School achieved that milestone Thursday with its 10-2 win over Pembroke Academy. The 76-game victory is one more than Homer High School in Michigan won in 2004-2005. The Portsmouth Herald reports the school hasn’t lost a game since 2007. Pitcher Ricky Holt pitched a complete game and held Pembroke to five hits. He struck out four and didn’t walk a batter. Catcher Connor McCauley collected four hits, drove in three runs and stole three bases.

However, Pat Clark called the proposal “very deceiving” and said “I feel somewhat tricked.” He suggested that the selectmen amended the original warrant to skirt the requirement of a two-thirds majority. When Dawson insisted “the Board of Selectmen is not here to deceive anyone,” she was met with laughter and at least one exclamation of “yeah, right!” Clark, who staunchly opposed placing the police station at 61 Business Park Drive, feared that if the water line was extended to the property “next year the police station will be back on the burner.” Several speakers openly doubted that investing in the water line would lead to the sale and development of the lots. “We’re spending money we’ll never recoup,” one lady warned. When the amendment was put to the vote, it failed, 78 to 65. Without further debate, the meeting returned to the original article, which also failed by an even wider margin — 90 to 49.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
And this third healthiest real estate market Well, just when you think the activity is improving and you are expecting to see a banner month (that’s relative, you know) for home sales in the Lakes Region things kind of stumble a little bit. Residential sales dropped from 71 sales last April to 47 last month. But the average sales price was up from $274,203 last April to $313,932 this April. For the twelve month period ending 4/30/11 there were 755 homes sold at an average price of $318,206 compared to 766 sales at an average price of $301,804 for the 12 month period ending 4/30/10. So, all in all, the market isn’t doing too badly compared to last year. This appears to be the new “norm”.
I did notice one anomaly in the data last month that is worth clarifying as someone is going to wonder what happened. Two sales in Gilmanton ended up at an average of 112-percent of the asking price. Actually, one property sold at 94-percent of the asking price and the other property, at 9 Stevens Road, sold for 122-percent of the asking price. This property was originally listed at $309,000, was reduced several times down to $189,000 but sold for $230,000. The home is a nice seven room, three bedroom, three bath cape sitting on 5.6-acres with great views and a barn and has a current tax see next page

‘Up close and personal’Winnipesaukee Playhouse named ‘Best Summer Theatre’ by Yankee Magazine
LACONIA — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse has been recognized as a 2011 “Editor’s Choice” winner, named “Best Summer Theatre” in Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England. The issue, on newsstands now, states, “if you like your theater up close and personal, this 84-seat venue stages professional plays in the summer and high-quality community theater in off months. You can’t beat the price.” From now until June 1, the Playhouse is offering its season subscription tickets at a great savings. According to the Playhouse’s marketing director, Lesley Pankhurst, “Increasing costs have meant that we have had to raise our ticket prices by a few dollars, though we’re still one of the most affordable summer theatres in the state. We have a lot of loyal subscribers, many who have been with us since the beginning, and we wanted to thank them by offering them, along with other earlybirds, the chance to pick our four or five-play season series at last year’s prices before subscription prices go up.” Subscription packages are currently available for the full five-play series at $90 or as a “pick four” for $72. After June 1, the prices go up to $100 for the full season and $80 for the chance to see four of the five plays. Non-subscription tickets are already on sale and are available at $24 for adults and $22 for seniors and students. The upcoming season will include the 1960s romantic comedy “Butterflies are Free,” Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” an adventure comedy called “Shipwrecked! The Amazing Adventure of Louis de Rougemont (as told by himself),” the original play version of “Gigi,” and “Steel Magnolias.” Said Pankhurst, “after fantastic auditions in NY and Boston, we were excited about the upcoming season anyway and to be honoured this way by Yankee Magazine is the icing on the cake. Our design team and staff, many of whom return year after year, work extremely hard to bring the highest quality productions to the Lakes Region. To be recognized for that is a great honor.” This year, all performances will be continued to be held at the Playhouse’s Weirs Beach location as fundraising continues for the conversion of the former Annalee Doll property in Meredith into a state-ofthe-art theatre complex. However, the Playhouse’s popular summer camp program will be held on the Meredith site. This year’s program offers both full
968 Laconia Road, Tilton (Next to Pirate’s Cove)

By Holiday Mathis want what you want. Go toward it without feeling selfish or guilty. Don’t worry -- it won’t be too easy for you to attain this goal, and you’ll be helping others along the way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your sign’s symbol is a centaur -- halfhorse, half-human. Now is a good time to channel the horse side. You’ll need to be fast and strong and wear blinders to keep yourself focused on the track. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You suspect that someone likes you for your feisty ambition, though you don’t have to go out of your way to display this now. Really, it’s forgiveness and compassion that are your most alluring qualities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be in a position to choose your company, so avoid the one who likes to get you all riled up. This person can cause you to spin in circles like a dog chasing its own tail. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are responsible and orderly to a point, and then it’s time to hit the release valve and blow off some steam. This can be accomplished through wild dancing, shouting at the game on television or escaping into a good movie. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 21). Your curiosity about the world will never be sated. You’ll get answers and ask deeper questions in June. July brings the end of a particular yearning, and new confidence comes over you. You’ll be awarded money in August. A colleague will support and guide you in work that uses your talents and lets you shine. Libra and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 49, 1, 32 and 34.
by Richard Thompson
ARIES (March 21-April 19). A compliment is a gift, not a purchase. When someone compliments you, graciously accept the kind words without worrying about how and when you can repay them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t have to be overly concerned with being good to do the right thing. Free yourself from negative thoughts and energy for the simple reason that it’s too much work to carry them around with you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll make a friend by doing something other than the usual. Your originality is adorable. You’re a lot of fun, and then you make yourself scarce -- irresistible. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are not a blank slate for someone else to write on. Contribute to a conversation. Talk about what you know. Otherwise, you’re likely to be bossed around by the more overbearing people in your midst. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your domestic environment reflects where you are in life right now -- a good reason to tidy and organize it, making it beautiful and welcoming whether or not you are expecting company. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not motivated by easy targets. If anyone and everyone can join the club, it’s not special. The harder you have to work for it the more you want it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a gift for healing, as well as teaching. You feel compelled to be of service to others, and your attention will help them achieve a state of optimum health and well-being. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, May 21, 2011— Page 19
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, May 21, the 141st day of 2011. There are 224 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 21, 1911, during the Mexican Revolution, the Treaty of Ciudad Juarez was signed by President Porfirio Diaz and revolutionary leader Francisco I. Madero; under the agreement, Diaz resigned his office, and ended up living the rest of his life in exile in France. On this date: In 1471, King Henry VI of England died in the Tower of London at age 49. In 1542, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto died while searching for gold along the Mississippi River. In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross. In 1892, the opera “Pagliacci,” by Ruggero Leoncavallo, was first performed, in Milan, Italy. In 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh landed his Spirit of St. Louis near Paris, completing the first solo airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 33½ hours. In 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean as she landed in Northern Ireland, about 15 hours after leaving Newfoundland. In 1941, a German U-boat sank the American merchant steamship SS Robin Moor in the South Atlantic after allowing the ship’s passengers and crew to board lifeboats. In 1956, the United States exploded the first airborne hydrogen bomb over Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. In 1972, Michelangelo’s Pieta, on display at the Vatican, was damaged with a hammer by an apparently deranged man who shouted he was Jesus Christ. In 1991, former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated during national elections by a suicide bomber. One year ago: President Barack Obama directed the government to set the first-ever mileage and pollution limits for big trucks and to tighten rules for future cars and SUVs. Citing overwhelming evidence that North Korea sank a South Korean warship, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned the reclusive communist state of consequences. Today’s Birthdays: Rhythm-and-blues singer Ron Isley (The Isley Brothers) is 70. Rock musician Hilton Valentine (The Animals) is 68. Actor Richard Hatch (“Battlestar Galactica”) is 66. Musician Bill Champlin is 64. Singer Leo Sayer is 63. Actress Carol Potter is 63. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) is 60. Actor Mr. T is 59. Music producer Stan Lynch is 56. Actor Judge Reinhold is 54. Actordirector Nick Cassavetes is 52. Actor Brent Briscoe is 50. Actress Lisa Edelstein is 45. Actress Fairuza Balk is 37. Rapper Havoc (Mobb Deep) is 37. Actress Ashlie Brillault is 24. Actor Scott Leavenworth is 21.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’m 20 years old, and lately, I’ve been catching a lot of criticism about my Facebook page. My grandfather passed away, and I updated my status to say that he is loved and deeply missed. People offered condolences and support. My father thought it was wrong for people to find out on Facebook. But, Annie, people read obituaries in the local newspaper and find out that way, too. I feel I should be allowed to post whatever I want. I know this is a generational difference, but it’s causing a lot of problems. Please help. -- Trying To Keep the Peace Dear Trying: We think your father is objecting less to Facebook and more to the fact that his father died. Online postings from family members strike him as impersonal and too public, and therefore disrespectful. Assure him that you loved your grandfather and find it comforting to share your grief with your friends. Perhaps it would help if you showed him some of the words of condolence that others have posted. As long as your posts are not vulgar or inappropriately intimate, we see no reason to make an issue of this. Dear Annie: My wife died 11 years ago, after 49 wonderful years together. I am now 81, and many of my friends are losing their spouses. Recently, a friend’s husband died, and I felt the need to help her. So I wrote the following letter. If you think it might help others, please print it. -- Norbert Tackman Dear Norbert: We think you have put some wise thoughts down on paper, and we know they will bring comfort to many. Thank you. A Time To Grieve What could have been is gone. What was is still in your memories. You’ll always think there must have been more you could have done, more times you could have said, “I love you.” Times you think, “Why didn’t I hold him more? Why
didn’t I do this or that?” You did all those things. You just need to remember them. Remember the times when you held hands as you walked, when you held one another and kissed, when you shared a sunset or a walk through a garden. Remember that great vacation you had together. Remember when you made love and shared that special time. Remember how your love never dimmed but got stronger over the years. Remember when you first met and fell in love. Then go through your life remembering the special moments, one after another. When you had children. When you laughed or cried. That trip to get away. Visiting friends. A party. Going to church. When you redecorated the house. Little things only you and he shared. Push out of your mind the memories that make you sad, and replace them immediately with good memories. Something that makes you smile. In the weeks after his passing, the relatives go on with their lives, your friends don’t call as often and you’re left alone. This is the time to be more involved with your favorite organizations, your church, your friends. In other words, keep busy. Be with other people. Push yourself to do things, no matter how small. Don’t feel sorry for yourself -- you have much to offer to others and your fellowship will give back twice as much to you. There is nothing wrong with crying. It’s part of the loss. It’s part of the grief. Accept the aching need to have him back, the need to hold him and tell him you love him. But always remember to say, “What a good life we had.” He knew you loved him and cared about him. Just as you know he loved you and cared about you. Remember, he is watching over you. He doesn’t want you to suffer. He wants you to be happy for all the time you had together. God bless you.
