Signs, signs. . . everywhere a sign: Meredith residents say 10 new ones on a mile-long, dead-end street is way too many BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — From Meredith Center Road, Windsong Place snakes left and right, uphill and down eastward through woods and past marshes for about a mile just north of Pickerel Pond before ending in a cul-de-sac not far
from the Laconia city line. The road serves some 30 residences, including those strung along Serenity Lane and Sleepy Hollow Road, many of them standing cheek by jowl with a wildlife management area. Near the junction with Meredith Center a sign warns of children at play and posts a speed
limit of 25 mph. Along with four chevron-shaped arrows warning of one especially sharp curve, it is the only traffic sign on the road. But, much to the consternation of residents, plans are afoot to add another 10 signs to the mix. “It’s significant overkill,” Jim Lerner told the select-
men at their meeting yesterday, describing the prospect as “visual pollution” more likely to distract motorists than forestall accidents. He said that residents as well as visitors regularly walk the road while various wild creatures frequently cross it. see SIGNS page 9

People in small Florida city waiting to learn which of their neighbors is now very rich
ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. (AP) — It could be an anxious wait of up to two months for people in a small Florida city to find out who won the highest Powerball jackpot in history: an estimated $590.5 million. The lucky ticket was bought sometime Saturday or earlier at a Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, a city of about 13,000 people best known around the state for its brand of spring water with the same name. The winner has 60 days to claim the lumpsum cash option, estimated around $376.9 million, at the Florida Lottery’s office in Tallahassee. Under Florida law, lottery winners in the state cannot remain anonymous; their names and city of residence must be made publicly available to anyone who asks, according to the state’s lottery website. No one had come forward as of Monday morning. “It never happens this see POWERBALL page 9

Huge tornado kills 51 near Oklahoma City MOORE, Okla. (AP) — A monstrous tornado at least a half-mile wide roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs Monday, flattening entire neighborhoods with winds up to 200 mph, setting buildings on fire and landing a direct blow on an elementary school. At least 51 people were reported killed. The storm laid waste to scores of buildings in Moore, south of the city. Block after block of the community lay in ruins. Homes were crushed into piles of broken
wood. Cars and trucks were left crumpled on the roadside. The National Weather Service issued an initial finding that the tornado was an EF-4 on the enhanced Fujita scale, the second most-powerful type of twister. Authorities expected the death toll to rise as emergency crews moved deeper into the hardest-hit areas. At least 60 people were reported hurt, including more than a dozen children. Rescuers mounted a desperate rescue
effort at the school, pulling children from heaps of debris and carrying them to a triage center. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin deployed 80 National Guard members to assist with search-and-rescue operations and activated extra highway patrol officers. Fallin also spoke with President Barack Obama, who offered the nation’s help and gave Fallin a direct line to his office. Many land lines to stricken areas were see TORNADO page 8
Senate finds Apple legally stashing cash abroad to avoid U.S. taxes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Apple Inc. employs a group of affiliate companies located outside the United States to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. income taxes, a Senate investigation has found. The world’s most valuable company is holding overseas some $102 billion of its $145 billion in cash, and an Irish subsidiary that earned $22 billion in 2011 paid only $10 million in taxes, according to the
report issued Monday by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. The strategies Apple uses are legal, and many other multinational corporations use similar tax techniques to avoid paying U.S. income taxes on profits they reap overseas. But Apple uses a unique twist, the report found. The company’s tactics raise questions about loopholes in the U.S. tax code, lawmakers say.
The spotlight on Apple’s tax strategy comes at a time of fevered debate in Washington over whether and how to raise revenues to help reduce the federal deficit. Many Democrats complain that the government is missing out on collecting billions because companies are stashing profits abroad and avoiding taxes. Republicans want to cut the corporate tax rate of see APPLE page 11
More high Obama aids knew of IRS audit result but boss not told
WASHINGTON (AP) — White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and other senior advisers knew in late April that an impending report was likely to say the IRS had inappropriately targeted conservative groups, President Barack Obama’s spokesman disclosed Monday, expanding the
circle of top officials who knew of the audit beyond those named earlier. But McDonough and the other advisers did not tell Obama, leaving him to learn about the politically perilous results of the internal investigation from news reports more than two weeks later, officials said.
The apparent decision to keep the president in the dark underscores the White House’s cautious legal approach to controversies and reflects a desire by top advisers to distance Obama from troubles threatening his administration. see IRS page 3

from preceding page Obama spokesman Jay Carney defended keeping the president out of the loop on the Internal Revenue Service audit, saying Obama was comfortable with the fact that “some matters are not appropriate to convey to him, and this is one of them.” Republicans, however, are accusing the president of being unaware of important happenings in the government he oversees. “It seems to be the answer of the administration whenever they’re caught doing something they shouldn’t be doing is, ‘I didn’t know about it’,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told CBS News. “And it causes me to wonder whether they believe willful ignorance is a defense when it’s your job to know.” Obama advisers argue that the outcry from Republicans would be far worse had McDonough or White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler told the president about the IRS audit before it became public, thereby raising questions about White House interference. Still, the White House’s own shifting information about who knew what and when is keeping the focus of the IRS controversy on the West Wing. When Carney first addressed the matter last week, he said only that Ruemmler had been told around April 22 that an inspector general audit was being concluded at a Cincinnati IRS office that screens applications for organizations’ tax-exempt status. But on Monday, Carney said lower-ranking staffers in the White House counsel’s office first learned of the report one week earlier, on April 16. When Ruemmler was later alerted, she was told specifically that the audit was likely to conclude that IRS employees improperly scrutinized organizations by looking for words like “tea party” and “patriot.” Ruemmler then told McDonough, deputy chief of staff Mark Childress, and other senior advisers, but not Obama.
N.H. business leaders learn about health car overhaul law
MANCHESTER (AP) — Individuals and small businesses shopping for health insurance through New Hampshire’s new online marketplaces will choose from among several plans offered by a single company. Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield of New Hampshire will be the only insurer selling either individual or small group plans through the new markets, or exchanges, that are being set up as part of the federal health overhaul law, the company’s senior legal counsel, Maria Proulx, said Monday. “There will be no other carriers on either exchange,” she said at an educational seminar for business owners in Manchester. Anthem is one of four companies licensed to sell
individual plans in New Hampshire and one of six licensed to sell small group policies. Companies have until June 1 to submit details to the state, but Proulx said she learned late last week that no other companies plan to do so. The new insurance markets will offer individuals a choice of private health plans resembling what workers at large companies already get. The government will help many middle-class households pay their premiums, while low-income people will be referred to safety-net programs for which they might qualify. There will be a separate market for small businesses, with limited subsidies available for some companies.

The cold reality about jobs At last, some excellent economic news for folks long-mired in the stagnant labor market! At least, those were the headlines recently trumpeted across the country. “Jobs Spring Back,” exclaimed a typical headline or report that companies added a better than expected 165,000 private-sector jobs in April. Wow — the thunderous, three-year boom of prosperity that has rained riches on Wall Street is finally beginning to shower on our streets, right? Well, as dry-land farmers can tell you, thunder ain’t rain. Read beneath the joyful headlines hailing April’s uptick in job numbers, and you’ll see the parched truth. For example, more than a third of working-age Americans are either out of work or have given up on finding a job. Also, last month’s hiring increase was almost entirely for receptionists, waiters, clerks, temp workers, car-rental agents and other low-wage positions with no benefits or upwardly mobile possibilities. On the other hand, manufacturing — generally the source of good, middle-class jobs — did not add workers in April and has cut some 10,000 jobs in the last year. Especially problematic was the continued rise in underemployment — people wanting full-time work, but having to take part-time and temporary jobs. Underemployment is also pounding college graduates. While they’ve been more successful than non-grads at landing jobs, they’re not getting jobs that fit their career goals or even require the degrees they spent money and time to obtain. Indeed, many of those rental agents and restaurant employees you encounter hold four-year degrees, forcing everyone else to scramble for the few, even lower-paid jobs further down the skill ladder. Meanwhile, the next graduating class is already beginning to flood into the labor market from colleges and high schools with nowhere to go. In May, another headline shouted: “Stock Market Soars.” It expressed delight that the Dow Jones Average topped 15,000 for the first time in its history. Yet this index of Wall Street wealth gives a totally false picture of our nation’s true economic health. Yes, the
privileged few are doing extremely well. But the workaday many are struggling — and falling further and further behind as the jobs market sinks steadily from mere recession down into depression. The monthly unemployment reports don’t tell the depths of misery that’s out here in the real world, beyond the view of Wall Street and Washington elites. For example, President Obama hailed the news that unemployment dipped to 7.5 percent in April. Unstated, though, was the stark reality that this goodnews dip was not due to a jump in job offerings, but to a bad-news labor market so weak and discouraging that more and more Americans are dropping out of it or never entering it. More than a third of our workingage population is no longer even in the job market, and only 58.6 percent of us are employed. Put the opposite way, 41 percent of the potential workforce is not working — about 102 million people. One more statistic, and it’s a chiller: More than one out of five American families report that, last year, not a single family member had a job. Our people are trapped in a jobs crisis that is sucking the economic vitality out of our nation, but our leaders refuse even to acknowledge it, much less cope with it. In fact, corporate chieftains are deliberately exacerbating the crisis by hoarding trillions of dollars that ought to be rushed into job-creating expansions, and politicians keep adding to the casualties by gleefully eliminating the middle-class jobs of hundreds of thousands of teachers, firefighters, police and other valuable public employees. America’s middle class is burning to the ground, while Washington fiddles with nonsense and Wall Street feathers its own nest. It’s disgraceful. (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”.)
Obama’s Chicago thug-style politics has spread like a cancer To the editor, Last November I warned my fellow voters from Concord to Laconia to beware of Obama. How’s that hope and change working out for you now? I state again: “This is a dangerous man to have in the White House”. His corrupt Chicago thug style politics has now spread like a cancer to all
branches of our government. Nixon is a saint compared to this narcissistic. Obama and his Memphis Mafia cronies should be thrown in GITMO for crimes against our REPUBLIC AND FOR WHICH IT STANDS. Tom Sellew Lochmere (Tilton)
LETTERS How come there is no sign up identifying Beacon Street West? To the editor, I’d like to bring to the attention of the city of Laconia and the citizens of Laconia two dangerous driving situations, one of which has since been resolved by the city. The first one is the turn off of Rte. 106 onto Old Prescott Hill Road, just below the Lakes Region Community College. Unfortunately, this turn-off occurs right after Rte 3. empties onto Rte. 106 from two different directions. Rte 106. at this point is a two lane highway; the problem is that the turn onto Old Prescott Hill Rd is off the passing lane of Rte. 106, thereby creating one of the aforementioned dangerous situations. From what I have been told, Old Prescott Hill Rd used to be a one-way road heading north from the Bishop Road area. That would make that turn illegal, forcing motorists to enter Old Prescott Hill Road around the Bishop Road area, just above the college. I know that I have bypassed that dangerous turn onto Old Prescott Hill Road quite a few times, after glancing in my rear-view mirror and seeing motorists speeding up to go up the hill of Rte. 106, not only from Rte. 106 itself, but also from the entrances from Rte. 3 that occur there. I realize that it may be inconvenient for those who live on Old Prescott Hill Road or those who reside in Briarcrest, but inconvenience is a small price to pay rather than the alternative. At some point in time, there is going to be a horrible crash there, but a very easy fix. The second problem area was on Beacon St West, although there are more spots in the city of Laconia that
also need this tender loving care. For the past couple of months, there were no lines to tell you which lane you were in, not a very pleasant thought, as each driver tried to figure out where they were in relation to other drivers. But the city has taken care of this problem and painted the lines that separate the lanes, right around Streetcar Place (Hector’s), the sharp corner that occurs there. Well done workers of Laconia. As a two year local, I know about where the lanes are that are supposed to separate traffic. But if you are a vacationer (isn’t that what we are known as, a vacation area), it is difficult to know where you are supposed to steer yourself around those corners, not knowing that there really are tree lanes there. These lanes eventually lead into the lights at the intersection of Main St (Rte 106), Court and Union Streets. I have noticed that there is more paint being applied to other “problem areas”, so I again commend the city for taking care of these problems. One last question: where is the sign that tells you that you are on Beacon Street West? I have been looking but can’t find one, other that the one that is on the business sign for Street Car Place. I have been told the city has one, but is putting off placing it — please don’t wait until your next year’s project to put it up — again think of your vacation people. Two easy fixes, not a lot of money, but definitely a good “days” work for someone. Gary Philippy Laconia
Convention using obscure law to usurp control of county budget To the editor, It has been quite a show at the Belknap County vs. Commission match; round after round of play and counter play, with plenty of public posturing for our county delegation to act and pose as watchmen for our pockets, playing divisive domination games for political capital. In business, these kind of continuing public spats are not tolerated. There is blood on the floor at the complex meeting room from inter-delegation in-fights, from ruined working relationships between the delegation and commission, from the destruction of trust with county workers, and worst of all from the betrayal of the taxpayers
by incompetent leadership within the delegation. The actions of this county delegation in failing to build a consensus toward resolution of the budget problem is just as voter alienating as what we see in Washington. That’s not the worst of it: Did you vote for any of these delegates to run Belknap County? I didn’t. They are not competent to do so. And everyone who voted last election has been turned under heel by the invocation of an obscure RSA to usurp control of the budget that may be slick and legal, but is certainly disrespectful and a slap in the face to every Belknap County voter. see next page
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, May 21, 2013 — Page 5
LETTERS In fact, the lawsuit over convention votes has not been resolved To the editor, In an article in The Laconia Daily Sun on May 16th — “Pass the Hat: Commission Refuses to Pay Convention’s Legal Bill” — the reporter, Roger Amsden, states, “The issue Tardif raised was apparently resolved when the convention held a new election at which votes for the convention officers were made in public.” The case has NOT been Resolved. On April 1st, Chief Justice Tina L. Nadeau issued this order, “The Justice regularly assigned to the Belknap County Superior Court having recused himself from this case, the case is hereby transferred to the Grafton County Superior Court.” Belknap County Convention’s habitude for ignoring the Right-toKnow law is not excusable; a) The county convention has violated RSA 91-A regarding the appointment of an elected officer. b) The convention chair and an employee also violated RSA 91-A. c) Belknap County is the first county to incur a default budget for failing to follow the appropriation laws. The circumstances of the secret paper ballots arose out of the public’s from preceding page Talk to your Belknap County state rep. Tell them let our elected officials do their job and to stop wasting our money. Andrew Sanborn Sanbornton
need for scrutiny. It is critical since there is no other manner in which the public could determine how their representatives voted, holding their representatives accountable. The court has the discretion to invalidate the convention’s use of secret paper ballots and resulting 2013/2014 Convention failure to notice the public hearing regarding the proposed annual budget, neither of which can be nullified by the multiple parry selections: 1. 10 December 2012, the vote to use Secret Ballot; 2. 10 December 2012, the implementation of secret paper ballots for the First Election of Convention Officer; 3. 10 December 2012, the implementation of secret paper ballots for the First Election of Executive Committee at-large Officer; 4. 04 February 2013, First Election of Executive Committee Officer; 5. 08 February 2013, Petition filed with Belknap County Superior Court; 6. 19 February 2013 Second Elections, re-affirmation of the 12/10/12 votes, in open session; 7. 07 March 2013, Motion for Clarification regarding the Appearance of Paul T. Fitzgerald; 8. 19 March 2013, Third Election of Convention Officers; 9. 01 April 2013, Petitioners filed its Motion for Summary Judgment; 10. 01 April 2013, Belknap Court Transferred the case to Grafton County Superior Court;
11. 08 April 2013, Executive Committee second election of officers; 12. 30 April 2013, Respondents Objection to Motion for Summary Judgment and Cross Motion; 13. 17 May 2013, Grafton County SS, Answer — Clarification of representation is MOOT; 14. 18 May 2013, Petitioner’s Motion for reconsideration as to MOOT Point regarding Defendant’s Representation. Under RSA 91-A:8, II, “The court must invalidate an action of a public body or agency taken at a meeting held in violation of the provisions of the Right-to-Know. The circumstances justify such invalidation.” State v. Lambert, 147 N.H. 295, 296 (2001) The actions by the convention’s attempts to fend off a court ordered resolution with multiple re-votes, should not have reached a different
result absence secret paper ballots. However, after several re-votes, the outcome of the elections of convention officers and Executive Committee officers changed the makeup of both public bodies, proving the petitioner’s action was necessary and the actions of the delegation’s organizational structure is fatally flawed. The fact is, the Tardif and Gammon v Belknap County Convention suit has not been resolved. “The courts shall give proceedings under this chapter high priority on the court calendar”. February to May, and counting gives rise to why the case, which affects every county’s situation on every even numbered year, has not even been scheduled for a hearing? Nor has either court issued an order in a timely manner? David Gammon & Thomas A. Tardif Laconia

To the editor, I find it amusing and somewhat hypocritical that Mr. Young takes offense to contributors finding fault with the Bush administration. Isn’t he the one, on his radio show and in this forum, that finds fault with and blames Obama, Clinton, unions, educators, mainstream media, elitists, immigrants, voters, etc. for all the social and political ills of this nation? Mr. Young won’t like hearing this, but the leading contributing factor as to why “this person” is in the White House is George W. Bush and his administration. I know Young and other conservatives would like to forget Bush, but remember he was “the decider.” When he left office in 2008, the country was reeling from Bush’s disastrous economic stewardship. His irresponsible tax cuts and deregulation policies contributed significantly to the nation’s economic plight and to the slow recovery. Remember “the decider” decided to deregulate Wall Street; “the decider” decided to cut taxes for the wealthy; and “the decider” decided we needed two wars — costing the country trillions of dollars and more importantly costing the lives of thousands of brave young men and women. With the ignominious record of the Bush administration it didn’t matter who the Democrats ran as their candidate — the GOP was out. Voters, who Young finds fault with, were upset with staggering home foreclosure rates, crashing 401(k) s and pension plans, and the $700 billion bailout of rich Wall Streeters. The American public was fed-up with failed Bush/McCain economics, which claimed that prosperity would eventually “trickle down” to everyone else. Mr. Young, we find “this person” still in the White House in 2013 because the Republican Party still finds itself saddled with the title of the grand old white man’s party. In 2012, while Republicans secured 62 percnet of the white male vote, they fell short in every other demographic. Republicans lost not just women and Lati-
nos, but also the youth. And this is not counting the ones they never had, i.e. the African Americans, gays, lesbians, and so many others. The influence of evangelical Christians and the Tea Party hurt the GOP organization and helped divide the country. The result was a party that was out of touch with mainstream America — a charge once smugly leveled at liberals by the very same party. It is extremely unhealthy for the nation to have one party that relies primarily on whites for votes, and the other based on inclusive politics. In 2012, the Democrats won with the America of the future, while the Republicans lost with the America of the past. It’s interesting to observe that Young and other conservatives, while screaming for the impeachment of Obama, have this seeming inability to learn from their past mistakes. I understand their hatred of President Obama — it is the glue that holds them together in the absence of any real vision. Yet time and time again they make the same critical errors: they attack the president on every issue with the flimsiest of evidence of wrongdoing (while never once admitting their own messes and disasters from the immediate past), and they fail to renew a better or more coherent vision of themselves for the voter to feel there is even a choice. This makes for a prediction of just more lost elections, and they seem determined to make that happen. I’m sure that you’ve noticed that Young and the conservative community are fond of using Obama’s middle name Hussein. While not calling Obama a foreigner, a Muslim, or a terrorist, the use of the middle name, often without the first name, is meant to illicit fear, an image of evil and that he is not one of “us” in the minds of readers. This is a juvenile attempt to denigrate the president and portray him as a secret Muslim out to destroy America. L. J. Siden Gilmanton
We’ve spend last decade killing people we claim are a menace To the editor, The prisoners held at Guantanamo can (legally) be held indefinitely, without trial, according to the latest reports. They have (not be their own means) forfeited the right to trial. The U.S. military admits to torture, and evidence of guilt will not be allowed in court whereas it was obtained by duress. So by the illegal use of torture, the prisoners have lost their right to trial, unable to extricate themselves from prolonged imprisonment. Many are on a “death watch”, desperate for some hope, where none appears! By the use of torture, and denial of trial, we have condemned these men to unending imprisonment, separation from family and country of origin, claiming arrogantly, “ We know they’re guilty anyway!” The Republican party is mainly responsible for this flawed policy. At one time the United States was the citadel of law, justice and freedom. This has been the character and mettle of the American people for
countless generations. It is who we are! But there has been a seismic shift in our basic beliefs concerning treatment of those caught up in war and terrorism. We have backed away from time-honored Christian and Judaic law, becoming no better than those we prosecute. We permit any and all war criminals — suspected or not, to be subjected to lawless, cruel and degrading punishment. We do things today — with the approval of most people — that we protested against in countries like China and Russia, and commit these same crimes openly, with reckless disregard of law and without shame. We have serious economic problems at home. We have spent the last decade and beyond killing people we have claimed are a menace to our country. There is no justification for this assault knowing full well these countries do not have the will, or the way to harm us — yet the military see next page

LETTERS Time to consider stepping up & running for seat on City Council To the editor, There are just three weeks before filing opens for City Council, mayor, and two school board seats. This is the opportunity for you to step up to the plate and fill a position that is open or to challenge someone who is presently on the council. The first date is June 5th and the filing period runs until the 14th. At present, the councilor from Ward 2, Matt Lahey is not running for reelection and our mayor, Michael Seymour, is also not running. At the present time the remaining councilors have indicated they are running for re-election. The council meets two nights a month and committee meetings are generally held on the same evening as the meeting, so the rest of the month you can put what time you feel is necessary to do your job and your homework. It is important that people from all walks of life are represented on the council. It takes young, old, business people, blue collar workers, working together to represent the city as a whole. Different ideas, dif-
ferent styles, different personalities. All these things make for a better understanding and the ability to come together most of the time. Disagreements aren’t a bad thing, but when the fight is over, the council comes back together for the next problem and puts the last one to bed. I think the more that run is best. Take a chance, step up. You will not only be doing a service to your city, but you will you get more out of it than you put in. Out of all the candidates that file in June, the two persons getting the most votes in each category in the September Primary will go on to the election in November. To me there is no election more important than the city election as it affects everyone of us directly and instantly. It is our city and we must take care of it. In the presidential election, over 80 percent of the registered voters came out, but in the last city primary only 3 percent came out and not much more for the election. Come on you 80 percenters. Show your support for Laconia. Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4 - Laconia
The organization is a reflection of the boss & that man is Obama To the editor, As I watched the Obama administration spokespeople on the Sunday morning talk shows, I couldn’t help but wonder why they believed the Sergeant Schultz reply of “I know nothing” would absolve the president and his department managers of their culpability in the Internal Revenue Service scandal. If anything, that answer only makes matters worse. The essence of management is to prevent things from happening, that you don’t want to happen. For the president, or his appointed managers, to now say they need to ensure that these things don’t happen again, begs the question. Common sense management would have put in place procedures to prevent these failures in the first place. Workers want to please their bosses. That’s human nature. By pleasing the boss, they can retain their job, perhaps get a raise in salary, or maybe receive a promotion or some other recognition or reward. Don’t please the boss, and suffer the consequences of failure. Keep that in mind when you think of the administration’s public reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision, labeled Citizens United. That ruling struck down restrictions in the commonly called McCain-Feingold act which prevented corporations (including nonfrom preceding page fights on, in spite of overwhelming evidence their mission is null and void. Still many people continue to support violence and death around the world. I pray to God our self-righteous attitude will no longer tolerate inhuman treatment and abuse of people estranged from our culture and fearful that the use of military might as a method of problem-solving we prevail. Let there be peace! Leon R. Albushies Giliford
profit corporations) and unions from making independent expenditures to political campaigns. The Obama administration railed against this ruling, essentially claiming that it would allow businesses to unfairly fund Republicans running for elected office. However, if one looks at the amounts of money each candidate collected, such was not the case. On a head to head basis, the Federal Election Commission, the New York Times, and the Washington Post all show that President Obama raised over $250 million more than did Governor Romney. Overall, Republicans and Democrats raised about $1.2 billion each. Because of their extended primary period, and multiple candidates seeking the nomination, much of the Republican contributions were siphoned off into the primary period. In spite of the fact that there was not a significant difference in overall contributions, the Obama claims of an unfair advantage to the Republicans, because of the Citizens United ruling, in all probability stimulated followers in the Internal Revenue Service to do what they could to stifle organizations that were likely to be opposed to Obama. Anyone with some modicum of management experience would have taken steps to ensure that political preferences would not override the essence of the Supreme Court’s ruling. For managers within the IRS, the Treasury Department, the president, and his staff, to feign outrage over not knowing of the outrageous conditions that were imposed by the IRS on the “right leaning”, Not for profit corporations, is absurd. Can you imagine a corporate CEO telling his/her shareholder’s that he/she didn’t know his people were breaking the law and no one in the entire chain of command knew anything about it? If that were the case, see next page

Man held on $10,000 bail for lewd behavior on Laconia Library grounds LACONIA — A local man is being held on $10,000 cash-only bail for allegedly masturbating on the grounds of the Laconia Library Saturday morning. Steven English, 53, of 23 Messer St. #9 was charged with one Class A misdemeanor count of indecent exposure and lewdness. Police affidavits said they responded to a report of a man wearing a blue jacket and khaki pants and found English standing in the dirt portion of the library grounds near the Holy Trinity Church allegedly with his hand in his pants that were unbuttoned. Responding officers said he turned his back and tried to button his pants when he saw police. He allegedly told one of the officers that he was masturbating,
that he knew he shouldn’t be doing it, but “that he could not control himself.” Police said one of the adult witnesses said she saw him and that when two little girls walked past him, she immediately called the police. Another woman told police she and her 11-year-old daughter saw English with his hands down his pants and that her daughter wanted to know what he was doing. Fourth Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll ordered English held on cashonly bail unless he could be admitted to the State Hospital, in which case his bail would revert to personal recognizance. He ordered that English be transported securely to and from the jail to Concord. — Gail Ober
TORNADO from page 2 down and cellphone traffic was congested. The storm was so massive that it will take time to establish communications between rescuers and state officials, the governor said. In video of the storm, the dark funnel cloud could be seen marching slowly across the green landscape. As it churned through the community, the twister scattered shards of wood, pieces of insulation, awnings, shingles and glass all over the streets. Volunteers and first responders raced to search the debris for survivors.
At Plaza Towers Elementary School, the storm tore off the roof, knocked down walls and turned the playground into a mass of twisted plastic and metal. Several children were pulled alive from the rubble. Rescue workers passed the survivors down a human chain to the triage center in the parking lot. James Rushing, who lives across the street from the school, heard reports of the approaching tornado and ran to the school, where his 5-year-old foster son, Aiden, attends classes. Rushing believed he would be safer there. “About two minutes after I got there, the school started coming apart,” he said. The students were placed in the restroom. Oklahoma City Police Capt. Dexter Nelson said downed power lines and open gas lines posed a risk in the aftermath of the system. Monday’s powerful tornado loosely followed the path of a killer twister that slammed the region in May 1999. The weather service estimated that the storm that Monday’s tornado was at least a half-mile wide. The 1999 storm had winds clocked at 300 mph. Kelsey Angle, a weather service see next page

16-year-old just learning to drive said to have caused accident that sends 3 to the hospital
LACONIA — A 16-year-old girl who was learning to drive failed to negotiate the entire right hand turn from Union Avenue on to Gilford Avenue Sunday morning and hit a car that was stopped at the light. Police said the car being driven by the teen went into the opposite lane, hit a car being driven by Stephanie Steele of Morrill Street and pushed it backward toward a motorcyclist, Matthew Martindale of Gilford who was forced to lay down his motorcycle and jump off to avoid being hit. The 16-year-old girl was with her father, Jeremy Tripp of Belmont, when the accident happened. Three people who were in the car driven by Steele were taken to Lakes Region General Hospital with what police described as non-life threatening injuries. Police said the accident is still under investigation but said neither speed nor alcohol played any role. from preceding page meteorologist in Kansas City, Mo., said it’s unusual for two such powerful tornadoes to track roughly the same path. Monday’s devastation in Oklahoma came almost exactly two years after an enormous twister ripped through the city of Joplin, Mo., killing 158 people and injuring hundreds more. That May 22, 2011, tornado was the deadliest in the United States since modern tornado record keeping began in 1950, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Before Joplin, the deadliest modern tornado was June 1953 in Flint, Mich., when 116 people died.

3 homeless men challenging Concord’s new ‘no camping’ law in court CONCORD AP) — The case of three homeless men challenging a “No Camping” order on public lands in New Hampshire is scheduled to be heard in court. The men say they have a right to camp on the public land in Concord. The New Hampshire Civil Liberties
Union recently filed a lawsuit on their behalf. The hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Monday at Merrimack Superior Court. Advocates and faith leaders are planning a vigil outside the courthouse at 3 p.m.
SIGNS from page one Windsong Place is one of any number of roads in town where signs are slated to be replaced, removed, retained and, most controversially, added following the decision of the Board of Selectmen in 2011 to participate in the Rural Signing and Delineation program, funded by the federal government and administered by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT). When officials of the DOT first presented the plan, which runs to nearly 30 pages and includes many roads in town, to the Selectboard in July 2011 selectman Herb Vadney, a resident of Sleepy Hollow Road, expressed misgivings about the excessive signage proposed for Windsong Place. Soon afterwards Lerner asked town manager Phil Warren “why do we need to decorate the road with a bazillion signs in less than then one mile” and suggested “how about just one of those squiggly line signs at the start of the road?” Lerner said that more than a year passed without incident until earlier this month he noticed markings along the edge of the roadway indicating where the signs would be placed and rallied his neighbors to attend the Selectboard meeting. The plan calls for two striped signs on either side of Windsong Place near the junction with Meredith Center Road. The existing sign, warning of children and setting the 25 mph. limit, along with chevrons at the curve would remain. In addition, four pairs of signs marking bends in the road and slowing speed to 20 mph. would be placed along the length of the road. Dan Heyduk told the selectmen that he has walked or run on the road everyday for the past seven years — “rain or shine” — and never witnessed anything approaching a motor vehicle accident. Lerner said
that Police Chief Kevin Morrow informed him tree have been no reported accidents on the road during the past three years. “I was looking to live in a rural area in a rural town,” Said Bob Gage, who added he had invested significantly in landscaping his property and one of the signs would be put in his garden. He recalled one car that left the road on black ice and two minor mishaps, doubting any would have been prevented by more signage. After reading a letter from Marty and Alvina Heine who called the proposal “an unnecessary and stupid waste of money,’ Vadney, who said he has lived off Windsong Road for 20 years, pointed out that DOT plans to place signs close to where a snowmobile trail crosses the road and suggested trimming trees would have a greater impact on visibility and safety. Warren explained that although “in its purest form” the program was “all or nothing,” meaning funding hinged on following the plan to the letter, he believed adjustments could be made, including removing signs once they were installed. He said the signs would be retro-reflective, in compliance with federal and state standards, and placed primarily according to the “geometry of the street” as well as speed limits and accident histories. “If it’s all or nothing,” said Don MacFarland, “I’m speaking in favor of nothing.” Selectman Lou Kahn, who lives on Arbutus Hill Road, said there is only one “pavement ends” sign one the road, because the engineer did not travel far enough to see that the pavement begins and ends once again. “I also have a tractor and a chain,” he remarked.

Plymouth beats Hanover for Granite State Challenge title DURHAM — With two friendly rivals in a fierce competition until the very end, Plymouth Regional High School emerged the victor over Hanover High School Sunday with a score of 535-515 in the Granite State Superchallenge season finale on New Hampshire Public Television. The two teams see-sawed back and forth for the lead in seven intense rounds of fast-paced buzzers and twisty word-based challenges. Tying most of their rounds, Plymouth and Hanover answered tough math and history questions about famous N.H. politicians. But ultimately, Plymouth secured its victory with some help from Superman in the game’s last seconds. Plymouth Regional was represented by captain Kate Brownstein, Jordan Brownstein, Jade McLaughlin, and Aaron Scheinman, and led by coach Jay Fog-
arty. The Plymouth team also recently won the History Bowl National Small School Championship. The Plymouth Regional team will compete against the winner of WGBH’s High School Quiz Show in the first Granite State/Bay State Governor’s Cup Challenge match on May 26 at 6:30 p.m. The popular quiz contest began the season with 16 Granite State high school teams battling toward the coveted SuperChallenge title and brainy bragging rights. All GSC matches are available online to watch anytime. Each of the four team members and the alternates of the winning Granite State SuperChallenge team will receive a $1,000 award from the NHHEAF Network/ I Am College Bound.org program. The winning school also receives $1,000 and a trophy, and the runner-up school receives $500.
APPLE from page one 35 percent and ease the tax burden on money that U.S. companies make abroad. They say the move would encourage companies to invest at home. Apple CEO Tim Cook, the company’s chief financial officer and its tax chief are scheduled to testify and explain the company’s tax strategy at a hearing by the subcommittee Tuesday. The company refuted the subcommittee’s assertions in testimony prepared for the hearing and released to the public Monday evening. Apple said it employs tens of thousands of Americans and pays “an extraordinary amount” in U.S. taxes, citing the roughly $6 billion it paid in fiscal 2012. Apple “complies fully with both the laws and the spirit of the laws,” the testimony says. “And Apple pays all its required taxes, both in this country and abroad.” “Apple does not use tax gimmicks,” the statement says. The company insisted that it does not, as the subcommittee asserts, move its intellectual property rights into offshore tax havens and use it to sell
products back into the U.S. to avoid taxes. The company has made clear that given current U.S. tax rates, it has no intention of repatriating its overseas profits to the U.S. Apple reiterated in its testimony its support for comprehensive tax reform as a way to support economic growth and boost U.S. companies’ competitiveness. The subcommittee also has examined the tax strategies of Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and other multinational companies, finding that they too have avoided billions in U.S. taxes by shifting profits offshore and exploiting weak, ambiguous sections of the tax code. Microsoft has used “aggressive” transactions to shift assets to subsidiaries in Puerto Rico, Ireland and Singapore, in part to avoid taxes. HP has used complex offshore loan transactions worth billions while using the money to run its U.S. operations, according to the panel. The subcommittee’s report estimates that Apple avoided at least $3.5 billion in U.S. federal taxes in 2011 and $9 billion in 2012 by using the strategy.

17-year-old nets $12,500 for landing biggest salmon at Winni Derby BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — “’I knew it would be on the leader board, but I didn’t know it was going to win,’’ said 17-year-old Dakota Wright of his 3.7 pound, 22.5 inch long landlocked salmon, which won the 31st annual Winni Derby over the weekend. Wright, a junior at Bishop Brady High School in Concord, was fishing with his dad, Mark, near Welch Island in Gilford bright and early Saturday morning (around 6:30 a.m.) when he felt the tell-tale tug on his line that told him he had hooked a good-sized fish. After a 15-minute battle, he brought the salmon on board, and now all he has to do is pass a lie detector test to claim the $12,500 grand prize for the derby, which for the first-time ever is invoking a rule which requires the winning angler and the eyewitness to the submit to such a test. Wright says that he isn’t worried about the test, which derby officials
say will take place later this week and was instituted due to concerns which surfaced on many fishing blogs that some winning fish in recent derbies weren’t actually caught in Lake Winnipesaukee. He said that he and his dad, who is a carpenter, have been fishing together in the Winni Derby for the last 10 years. Mark Wright said that he was ‘’really proud’’ that his son had won and said that he has always enjoyed fishing with Dakota, who skipped his high school prom in order to take part in the derby. Dakota said that he plans to buy himself a new pickup truck and pay for the insurance on the truck with his prize money. Wright wasn’t the only winner over the weekend in the Derby, which is now run by the Laconia Rotary Club and handed out about $50,000 in cash and prizes over the weekend. see next page

SPEED from page one New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon for the chance to drive a Porsche 997S around a racetrack. “I had always wanted to do that, what a surprise!” she said. Life hasn’t always been sports cars and hot air balloons, though. Newell was born in Millinocket, Maine, into a family of 10 children. When she was eight years old — the same year that the stock market crash precipitated the Great Depression — her mother died of blood poisoning and, upon hearing the news, her father suffered a stroke. The double tragedy shattered the family, separating Newell from her siblings and sending her bouncing between family members and foster homes. She lived for a time in Canada, then back to Maine, then New Hampshire, back again to Maine, “I finally wound up in 1938 with a family in Gilford.” Newell had found a sense of stability with her foster family and was set to graduate from Laconia High School. However, it turned out that her new family was as mobile as she had been, and she moved with her family to New York State, then to Manchester, Vermont, where she ultimately graduated from high school. At the age of 21, Newell married her first husband, a Holderness man named Francis Baker she met while they both were working at Scott & Williams mill in Laconia. “My husband and I decided to move to Connecticut because the work was good there.” They found work a United Aircraft, where Newell would work for 31 years. Her husband wasn’t so fortunate, though, as he passed away in 1969. A couple of years later, she married Fred Newell, and in 1977 they decided to retire and leave Connecticut. She insisted on returning to the Lakes Region. “He wanted to go to Florida, I said no way. If you want me to take an early retirement, we’re going to move to New Hampshire.” She and Fred moved to Meredith, and she’s lived in the same home since. from preceding page First prize winner in the lake trout division was Raymond Combs of West Halifax, Vt., who took home $5,000, while Christopher Gelinas, 11, of Loudon, won the junior salmon division and won a 14-foot motor boat with a trailer. About 1,400 fishermen took part in this year’s Derby according to Rotary Club President John Moriarity, who said that was an increase of about 150 over last year. Derby Chairman DianeLaBrie said that fishing was slow on the first two days of the derby but picked up on Sunday when the weather turned cloudy.
It is now filled with the sno-globes and hundreds of music boxes she loves to collect, as well as many of the priceless porcelain dolls she has made. Lately, those collectibles have been competing for space with the growing number of photographs documenting her adventures. To drive a sports car around a race track was something she had wanted to do for decades, she said. “When the kids were small, we used to go to Springfield (Mass.) for the races. I always liked that, especially the demolition derby races.” Her children must have remembered those family outings, because they recently surprised her on May 5 by reserving for her the driver’s seat of a 355-horsepower, rearengined Porsche, made available through the Exotic Driving Experience. “What a car that was,” said Newell, who said her only disappointment was that she wasn’t able to match the 90 miles per hour a very surprised state trooper clocked her doing a couple of years ago on the Interstate. Instead, the company covered the car’s speedometer so drivers would concentrate on the corners and crests of the speedway’s 1.6 mile road course. After her laps, she was told that her max speed was 77 m.p.h. How was the experience? “Wonderful. Just the speed, and to think that I was actually on a racetrack... Oh, I just wanted to step on it!” Some might suggest that a woman of Newell’s age should take an easier approach to life. She responds, “No way. If I ease up now, all I’ll do is sit at home and rock in a chair. I just want to go, go, go. I just love driving a car.” Asked what her experience has taught her about life, Newell said, “You have to be a positive thinker, you have to believe in God, that it is Him that has given this to me. I often think that I’m having such a great adult life because I had such a terrible young life. I just love my life, my children are so good to me.”

White Sox hand Lester first loss of season, 6-4 CHICAGO (AP) — Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Chicago White Sox handed Jon Lester his first loss of the season with a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. Alejandro De Aza and Alexei Ramirez added consecutive RBI doubles in the second as Chicago took advantage of an ineffective Lester (6-1) to earn its fifth win in seven games in the opener of an eightgame homestand. The White Sox scored each of their runs with two outs. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox, who had won five in a row. Saltalamacchia made a bid for a second two-run shot, but Dayan Viciedo brought in his drive on the warning track in left-center with the White Sox clinging to a 6-4 lead in the seventh. Boston right fielder Shane Victorino went 1 for 3 before he left in the bottom of the sixth with left hamstring tightness. He also missed games on Friday and Saturday with a back injury. Lester was trying to become the first left-handed starter to win his first seven decisions for Boston since Roger Moret in 1973. But he was shaky in the first couple of innings while falling to 4-5 in 10 career games against the White Sox to go along with a 5.43 ERA, his highest against any AL team. Lester retired his first two batters before running into trouble. Alex Rios singled to extend his hitting streak to 15 games and Paul Konerko walked before Dunn drove a 2-0 pitch to right for his fifth homer in seven games and No. 11 on the year. Chicago added two more in the second, and Viciedo singled home Ramirez to make it 6-2 in the fifth. Lester retired the side in order in the sixth, and that was it for him. He allowed five earned runs and from preceding page around $10,000, on the estimated number of cable subscribers in the town, based on previous years. The letter from LRPA said that when MetroCast counted the subscribers in Belmont it used only the cable subscribers, not inlcuding patrons who buy only other MetroCast services, such as Internet access and phone service. The new subscriber numbers were considerably lower for Belmont than those the LRPA board used in calculating the projected bill, which was quoted as a per-subscriber price. One the LRPA board realized the MetroCast numbers were lower it voted to increase the per-subscriber price to appoint where it would generate the budgeted amount of income. “In retrospect, the decision to set the per subscriber level should have been done after receiving the current count from Metrocast,” wrote LRPA Director Denise Beauchaine. Last night the Belmont board noted that MetroCast and the subscriber communities are negotiat-
seven hits, walked three and struck out two. While Lester struggled, Dylan Axelrod (2-3) pitched six effective innings to win his second straight start. The right-hander, who could lose his spot in the rotation when John Danks comes off the disabled list, gave up two runs and four hits. Matt Thornton yielded Will Middlebrooks’ tworun double in the seventh and Jesse Crain extended his scoreless streak to 17 innings before Addison Reed finished for his 15th save in 16 chances. With one out and a runner on first in the ninth, Middlebrooks hit a drive that De Aza caught at the wall in center field. Konerko then made a diving stop on Stephen Drew’s grounder and flipped the ball to Reed covering first to end the game. The White Sox improved to 9-9 at home on the first night of a stretch of 17 of 23 games in Chicago that includes two against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. If the White Sox (20-23) can turn around their sluggish play at U.S. Cellular Field, it could be a chance to make up some ground in the bunched AL Central. NOTES: The Red Sox activated closer Andrew Bailey from the 15-day disabled list. He had been out since April 29 with right biceps inflammation. ... Drew returned to the lineup after missing two games with a sore back. ... Chicago 2B Gordon Beckham, placed on the disabled list April 12 with a broken bone in his left wrist, played shortstop in a rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Monday night. White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Beckham could return to the team by the end of the week. ... Red Sox manager John Farrell said C David Ross (concussion) threw and rode a bike for 30 minutes. He will try to increase the intensity of his work on Tuesday. “He’s moving in the right direction,” Farrell said.
ing a new 10-year contract and it has been suggested that a direct channel for each community for public access will be part of that new contract that will go into effect in January of 2014. In reality, should the direct feed become part of the new contract, it means Belmont residents would be able to watch videos of their own boards that choose to be recorded rather than having the meetings run on a schedule driven by LRPA. The board noted that selectman’s meetings haven’t been aired since July of 2012 and, to date, they haven’t gotten any complaints. Board members said they got a few complaints that the same old meeting was running over and over again but they have since asked LRPA to remove it. The reason the meetings are not video taped is because there is no one in the town’s budget to tape them. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said last night she thought she had a volunteer who would do the taping but the woman called her and told her she would be unable to do it.

Bow hands Gilford girls’ tennis third loss of season The Gilford High School girls’ tennis team will head into the playoffs with a record of 11 wins, three losses and the fourth spot in Division III standings after losing to Bow on Thursday. Gilford lost to Bow by the score of 8-1. The only Gilford player to score was second-seeded Charleyne Panner, who beat Nisha Naik 8 games to 2. Panner and Cheralynn Corsack, comprising Gilford’s top doubles team, nearly earned a second point, losing to the doubles team of Naik/Sunday Swett in a tiebreaker. Gilford will host its first playoff game on Wednesday, against fifth-seeded Monadnock. If Gilford wins, the team will have a chance to seek revenge against the top-seeded Bow, which has a bye in the first round of elimination play.
New Hampton JV girls’ lacrosse gets win over Belmont A late game surge propelled the New Hampton junior varsity team past the visiting Belmont High School girls’ lacrosse team by the score of 12-6 on May 18. The loss drops the Lady Red Raiders to 9-2-1 heading into their final contest of the season this week. New Hampton scored in the first minute of play to take an early lead but Belmont’s Emily Ennis tied the game less than two minutes later. With the action moving up and down the field, the teams traded scoring chances throughout the half. Both teams had ten shots on net in the half and New Hampton held a 5-3 advantage at the break. The teams continued the performance into the second half, moving up and down the field and trading goals. With ten minutes remaining New Hampton possessed a slim 7-5 lead. Then, New Hampton took control, scoring four unanswered goals to go up 11-5. The teams traded single tallies after that and at the final whistle Belmont suffered its second defeat of the season, final score 12-6. Emily Ennis paced the Red Raider attack with three goals. Jen Hamilton, Anna Scott and Allivia Burbank added single tallies. Burbank also had an assist on Hamilton’s goal with a beautiful, long pass from midfield to the wide open Hamilton on the right side of the net. Sarah Thayer played well offensively with several ground ball controls. Alexa Robbins recorded 10 saves in net. Belmont traveled to Robbie Mills Field to close out the season Tuesday against Laconia.

PLYMOUTH — Now in its sixth season as a program, and its fifth with head coach Glenn Mausolf, the Plymouth High School boys’ lacrosse team is establishing itself as one of the top teams in Division III. Last year, the team put together a 14-2 season, which ended in a semi-final loss to HollisBrookline, a team which went on to win the state championship. This season, Plymouth appears capable of matching that success. With a record of 12 wins, one loss, including a 10-5 victory over Gilford on Monday, Mausolf’s team is tied with Hollis-Brookline in the standings and trails only undefeated Hopkinton and Derryfield. Mausolf, though, isn’t one to dream of post-season grandeur. Instead, he said he’s focusing on one basic, constant goal for his team. “We would just like to play the best lacrosse that is in us,” he said. “Last year, and this year, we have a strong defense, led by our goalie Dylan McIntosh,” said Mausolf. McIntosh, a junior, was on last year’s semi-finalist team, as were his leading corps of defensemen, seniors Woody Hedberg, Ryan Farina, Kyle Hodges, and junior Ian McKinnon. Partly because of Mausolf’s approach to the game,
and party because of his players’ natural strengths, Plymouth this season is a defense-first team. “The focus is trying to limit the other team’s opportunities,” he said, saying that he’s “fortunate” to have players that are talented defenders – a trait that carries through to his midfielders, he noted. Offensively, Plymouth spreads its scoring duties across much of its roster. “We have a pretty balanced scoring sheet,” said Mausolf, with at least seven double-digit scorers on the team. “You want to be more than a one-trick pony,” he said. The success of Plymouth’s lacrosse team has more than a peripheral connection to the school’s storied football team. Chuck Lenahan, Plymouth football coach, won his 19th championship last year and next month will be inducted into the National Federation of High Schools National High School Hall of Fame. Mausolf was Lenahan’s assistant coach for several years and acknowledged parallels between the two programs. “We share some similar athletes,” said Mausolf, who said he brings the same approach to lacrosse that Lenahan applies to football. “Every day, try to improve and be the be the best team possible, as well as see that these young men can be the best people they can be.” It’s a simple goal but one that see next page

COLD SORES – A HOT TOPIC Mouth sores can be painful, unsightly and annoying. Most mouth sores are caused by infections (bacterial, viral or fungal) or trauma. Canker sores and cold sores are the most common and can be distinguished by definite differences. Canker sores are small ulcers with a white or gray base and a red border that occur inside the mouth and usually take a week or two to heal. They are not contagious. Cold sores are blisters that occur outside the mouth (mostly around the edge of the lips) and they heal on their own in about one week. They are contagious. Once you have the virus associated with cold sores (Herpes type 1), you will always have it, although it may remain dormant for years. Thrush is a fungal infection and occurs when a specific type (Candida albicans) of yeast reproduces in large numbers. This type of yeast infection is common among denture wearers. Smokers are prone to leukoplakia – a thick white colored patch that forms on the inside of the cheeks, gums or tongue. This is caused by excess cell growth and it can develop into cancer, so a biopsy may be indicated. Oral cancer strikes an estimated 34,000 Americans each year, and over 7,000 die each year. During an oral exam, your dentist thoroughly examines the inside of your mouth and tongue to determine if that spot, bump, or sore is harmless or not. Early detection of oral cancer could be a life-saver – have you been checked out lately? George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com
The Inter-Lakes Angels 12 and under Babe Ruth softball team started out strong, winning all five games they played, allowing only a total of five runs scored on the team all weekend. The team was led by the stellar pitching of Delanie Fletcher, Julia Gintof and Jordan Durand. Durand also hit a rand slam. The girls’ defense was nearly impenetrable. Makena Kimball, Jessalyn Brown, Hailey Hart, Morgan White, Jordan Jones, Abi Johnson, Emma Wheeler, Mollie Durand and Lilly Simpson comprise the rest of this team, which will play again at the Inter-Lakes Jamboree held Saturday June 8 at Prescott Park in Meredith (Courtesy photo)
from preceding page has brought Lenahan great returns – his career boasts 13 undefeated seasons and a winning streak that spanned six years. With that in mind, it’s not surprising for Mausolf, when asked if he aspires to bring his team to its second-ever semi-final, or even its first final appearance, to respond with another verse from the same song. “Our focus is just being the best that we can be, not to set any level of lofty expectations, simply to play the best that we can, improve each of these young men as much as possible.”
Benni Sharoni Jazz Quartet at Pitman’s Freight Room Thursday
LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia will present the Benni Sharoni Jazz Quartet on Thursday, May 23 at 8 p.m. In 1986, after his traumatic battle experiences in Lebanon, Sharoni moved to Boston, where he enrolled at the Berklee College of Music. He left after a single semester, opting instead for private lessons with saxophonists Jerry Bergonzi and George Garzone. In the meantime he began leading his own bands and has since appeared with Joshua Redman, Danilo Perez, Kenny Garrett and Larry Coryell. Today, having survived the trials and tribulations of war, Sharoni and his music stand as living testaments to the power of jazz to restore mind, body and spirit. Sharoni says. “Every musician has a gift, and I think mine is to make music simple enough, but emotional enough, so everyone can feel good about it. I didn’t think about having something for everyone on the disc, although I think everyone can find something they like on it.” The quartet features Benny on sax, John Lockwood on bass and Steve Langone on drums. Admission is $12. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and Pitman’s is a BYOB venue.

Winnipesaukee Playhouse improv troupe performing at the Belknap Mill on Thursday LACONIA — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse improv troupe Happenstance will be performing Midway Murder, an interactive murder mystery dinner show at the Belknap Mill in Laconia on Thursday, May 23 at 7 p.m. Happenstance is a brand new group that focuses on improvisational theatre, including both short form and long form, and teaches members the basic concepts that make up both. Midway Murder is an original comedy, created and performed by the members, and is the first of what will be many performances of its type by Happenstance. Set in 1931, with the Great Depression weighing heavy on Americans and Prohibition still in effect, the show brings the once-great Blotto & Blarney Traveling Circus Extravaganza to Laconia as it continues its tour across the country. Can the murder of one of their own break up the act for good? With this shady cast of characters, secrets and intrigue abound as they ask for the audience’s help in solving this bizarre whodunit. Midway Murder will be performed for one night only. Tickets are $15 and as seating is extremely limited, reservations are required. Dinner will be a neighborly potluck and the always popular BYOB. To purchase tickets, go to www.winniplayhouse.org or call the box office at (603) 366-7377.

NH Boat Museum opening for season on Friday WOLFEBORO — The New Hampshire Boat Museum will open for the season over Memorial Day Weekend. To celebrate, the board and staff invite the public to a special Opening Reception on Friday, May 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. The evening will include food, a cash bar, entertainment and a preview of new exhibits. Tickets are $25 per person for not-yet-members and $22 for museum members. Tickets can be purchased on the Museum’s website, www.NHBM.org, via phone at 569-4554, or at the door. The evening will include a light buffet dinner and ice cream sundaes. Entertainment will be provided by Ron Drolet who is a frequent performer at the Wolfeboro Inn. Attendees will get a chance to preview the new exhibit on the history of race boating on Lake Winnipesaukee which features race boats of all kinds dating from the 1920s up to the 1960s. Among the race boats on display will be the famed Scotty. This 1929 28’ Gold Cup hydroplane was built
by the famous naval architect John Hacker in Michigan for Sam Dunsford of Tuftonboro Neck. Scotty ran in several racing events on Lake Winnipesaukee. When Dunsford, a leading racer of the time, felt the boat’s performance was unsatisfactory he stored Scotty in his garage until his death in 1958. Now restored to its original configuration, Scotty has run in several vintage race boat regattas including Wolfeboro’s. The boat is on loan from Mark Howard. Also on display will be Roman Candle, a 1961 hydroplane which is fully restored to its original condition. Roman Candle has an extensive racing history including the 2009 and 2011 Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta. The boat is on loan from its owner, race boat driver Gerry Davidson. Roman Candle will be removed from display the week of the September Wolfeboro Regatta to run in that prestigious event. see next page

Program on N.H’s ‘Exemplary Country Estates’ Thursday in Moultonborough MOULTONBOROUGH– The Moultonborough United Methodist Women have received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to host the program ‘Exemplary Country Estates of New Hampshire’. This talk will be presented by Cristina Ashjian on Thursday, May 23, at 7 PM at the Moultonborough Public Library, and is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served following the program. In the early 20th century, the New Hampshire Board of Agriculture launched a drive to boost the rural economy and promote tourism through the sale of abandoned farms to summer residents. After introducing the country house movement, Ashjian focuses attention on some of the great country estates featured in the state’s promotional “New Hampshire Farms for Summer Homes” publication between 1902 and 1913. Using historic images and texts, Ashjian discusses
well-known estates now open to the public such as The Fells on Lake Sunapee, The Rocks in Bethlehem, and Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish. The presentation will explore the architecture and scope of various country houses, and examine the fate of significant private estates showcased in the state literature. Ashjian will also discuss Moultonborough properties featured in “New Hampshire Farms for Summer Homes,” including Roxmont, Sheridan Farm, and Kona Farm. Ashjian is an art historian and independent scholar based in Moultonborough, where she is presently the chair of the Moultonborough Heritage Commission. She holds an MA in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London and a PhD in Modern Art and Architecture from Northwestern University. The host organization, the Moultonborough
United Methodist Women, founded in 1840, promotes and participates in programs and projects related to women, children and youth in the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world through a creative and supportive fellowship.

Retired horticulturist presented with award at Plymouth State University
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University honored retired horticulturist Steven Sweedler with the Madie W. Barrett Award. Sweedler accepted the award at an April 26 ceremony. Sweedler retired in August, 2011 after serving the University for 35 years. PSU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Julie Bernier said Sweedler started work at Plymouth in 1976 and immediately began creating beauty in what had previously not been so. “An incredible metamorphosis began to take hold,” said Bernier. “Each season on campus brought an element of anticipation for color, unusual blossoms and backdrops that any photographer would love. It became apparent that this undertaking had become a labor of love and one of a true visionary.” Sweedler, who was accompanied at the ceremony by his family, said he was honored to be recognized for his work. “It was always a great pleasure and I still take great joy in walking around campus,” Sweedler said. “Thank you so much for this award.” Terry Downs of PSU’s Art Department said Sweedler’s vision, knowledge and efforts have made profound and positive changes to the Plymouth State campus Madie Ward Barrett was a teacher, scholar and Plymouth State benefactor. She taught French, Spanish and French literature, trained her students in pedagogy and was named Professor Emeriti in 1985. She also served as dean of the college and later served as interim president. She was widely honored, and noted for her dedication to students and to serving the community. The award in her name is presented to a former member of the Plymouth State University community who has, in an extraordinary way, contributed to the advancement of the purpose and mission of the University, and who has made significant and noteworthy contributions in his/her field of endeavor. Furthermore, the recipient shall have served Plymouth State University for at least ten years but not in the period of one year prior to receiving the award.

twice as long to complete. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Things that look good “on paper” look even better when carefully arranged within the electrified framework of a popular social media sight. The reality of such things may be nonexistent. Stay alert. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The egos involved at work may slow everyone’s progress. There are politics to be played here. People who think a lot of their own contributions want full credit before they move forward. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t like to be tricked by anyone, but especially not by a business, because that shows ill intent on many levels. People who do not stop a wrong from happening are culpable, and you’ll do what it takes to deliver justice. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 21). It’s not about being the most talented or outstanding; heaven’s will is carried out through your simple, unassuming ways. You will be praised, paid and rewarded, but that won’t matter to you nearly as much as the good that comes from your loving actions. June is romantic, October adventurous, November lucrative. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 21, 31, 50 and 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The person pressuring you believes that his or her personal agenda is more important than your comfort. When none of the options please you, you can always decide not to decide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Remember what you wanted so badly? Now you have it, and you want entirely different things. You can appreciate the cycle, wherever you are in it. Your wishes keep you rolling forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The wonderful parts of life are often offset by something dismal. This is the way of the world, and you deal with each scenario as it comes, interpreting it in your own poetic way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Instead of trying to cope with the circumstance, you want to change it. You’ll take on what you can. You may have a hard time accepting the fact that not everything is within your control. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have great feelings for beauty now, and you’ll appreciate the seemingly disordered aspects of it. You’ll direct people’s attention to things they wouldn’t have noticed, and this is a kind of mitzvah. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Power can be a phantom. Its sources are not always apparent. Keep this in mind as you assess your opposition and strategize your own rise to power. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As valid as your concerns may be, it’s not important that each one gets addressed now. Helping others who are in need will give you the benefit of perspective. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the heat of the moment, your conversational partner will try to prove a wrongheaded point. Let it go. To argue would be proof that you care to be considered superior, which is wrongheaded in and of itself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your golden productivity hours will be in the morning. Do a job at 9 a.m. when your mind is fresh. At 9 p.m., the same job will take you

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, May 21, the 141st day of 2013. There are 224 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 21, 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. 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 1863, the Seventh-day Adventist Church was officially organized. In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross. In 1892, the opera “Pagliacci,” by Ruggero Leoncavallo, premiered 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 1941, a German U-boat sank the American merchant steamship SS Robin Moor in the South Atlantic after the ship’s passengers and crew were allowed to board lifeboats. In 1956, the United States exploded the first airborne hydrogen bomb over Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. In 1959, the musical “Gypsy,” inspired by the life of stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, opened on Broadway with Ethel Merman starring as Mama Rose. In 1972, Michelangelo’s Pieta, on display at the Vatican, was damaged by a hammer-wielding man who shouted he was Jesus Christ. In 1982, during the Falklands War, British amphibious forces landed on the beach at San Carlos Bay. In 1998, teen gunman Kip Kinkel opened fire inside Thurston High School in Springfield, Ore., killing two students, a day after he’d killed his parents. (Kinkel was sentenced to nearly 112 years in prison.) In the wake of deadly protests, Indonesia President Suharto stepped down after 32 years in power. Ten years ago: Christie Whitman resigned as Environmental Protection Agency administrator. The most devastating earthquake to hit Algeria in two decades killed at least 2,200 people. Ruben Studdard edged Clay Aiken to win the second “American Idol” competition on Fox. Five years ago: Oil prices blew past $130 a barrel and gas prices climbed above $3.80 a gallon. Israel and Syria unexpectedly announced the resumption of peace talks after an eight-year break. David Cook won “American Idol” in a landslide over David Archuleta. One year ago: President Barack Obama and other world leaders meeting in Chicago locked in place an Afghanistan exit path that would keep their troops fighting there for two more years. Former Rutgers University student Dharun Ravi, who’d used a webcam to spy on his gay roommate, Tyler Clementi, who then committed suicide, was sentenced to 30 days in jail (he served 20). A Yemeni man detonated a bomb during a rehearsal for a military parade, killing 96 fellow soldiers; al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen claimed responsibility. Grammy-winning polka great Eddie Blazonczyk, 70, died in Palos Heights, Ill.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I feel betrayed by my husband, and he doesn’t seem to see the problem. We have been married for 40 years. “Victor” always had a wandering eye and a problem being faithful. For whatever reason, I was never enough for him. He has no idea how much he has hurt me over the years. I put up with a lot, but now he has started watching pornography when he thinks I’m asleep. I know he’s masturbating, but if I ask whether he wants to have sex, he says “no,” and eventually, I fall asleep. This makes me feel as if he’s cheating on me in my own bed. I’ve tried talking to Victor about it, but he thinks I’m the one with the problem. What do you think? -- Betrayed Dear Betrayed: You must ask yourself what you want out of this marriage after 40 years. Can you make Victor stop having affairs and watching pornography? Not unless he understands that it is a betrayal and decides he doesn’t want to hurt you anymore. That would require effort on his part, and likely counseling to help him navigate a new way to relate to you. If you think he would be willing, please suggest it. You also can get counseling on your own and learn what you are willing to tolerate for the sake of remaining in the marriage if you choose to stay. In the meantime, contact COSA (cosa-recovery. org), a 12-step program for those whose lives have been affected by another person’s compulsive sexual behavior. Dear Annie: I’ve been friendly with a neighbor for some time, as we are both cat owners. I recently let my cat outside briefly, and he came in limping as a result of a catfight. I immediately rushed him to my vet, who performed emergency surgery and presented me with a big bill. When telling my neighbor of the expenses, he said I was foolish to have been so concerned about a cat. Annie, I was
shocked to hear this from a fellow cat owner and have ceased speaking to him. He has made overtures toward friendship, and I’ve rebuffed him. Should I forgive and forget? -- Cat Lover Ed Dear Ed: No one expects you to agree with everything your friends think, do and say. Yes, we are surprised that a fellow cat owner would seem so callous. But this is essentially a difference of opinion about how much money one would spend on an animal’s treatment. If you think this comment means your neighbor is an unkind, nasty person, you don’t need to stay friends. But if he is otherwise a good guy and you miss his friendship, please forgive him. Dear Annie: “Conflicted Adoptee in Kansas” was hurt that her biological mother didn’t want to tell her other grown children about her. Three years ago, my 70-year-old grandmother walked over to my mother, handed her a piece of paper and said, “Well, you’ve always wanted a sister.” Grandma had given up a baby girl when Grandpa was still married to his first wife. When she became pregnant again (with my mother), they finally wed. At first we were shocked. Grandma was ashamed and embarrassed. My mother was excited to get to know her new sister, but they discovered that they really don’t care much for each other. In fact, no one in the family likes her, but we feel obligated to be nice and polite. Grandma refuses to talk about it. The one thing she had written in the adoption records was that she didn’t want anyone in her family to know. I completely understand why some things are better left alone. -- Omaha, Neb.
