DOT says Meredith doesn’t have to erect unwanted road signs BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Windsong Place, the one mile, dead-end road, will not be festooned with traffic signs after all. When the Board of Selectmen met on Monday a handful of residents voiced misgivings about a plan to erect ten new signs, including four pairs marking sharp curves and lowering speed limits. Following the
meeting Town Manager Phil Warren contacted officials of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, which administers the Rural Signing and Delineation program, who informed him that signs deemed unnecessary or unwanted by the town would not be installed. Warren told the selectmen that he and Mike Faller, director of public works, reviewed the signage proposed for Wind-
song Place and agreed to strike all the speed limit signs from the list. He said that the existing chevrons warning of the 45 degree bend midway along the road will be replaced, but no signage will be added to the road. Likewise, Warren noted that other adjustments to the signage plan were made after reviewing other dead-end streets, including Tracy Way.

LACONIA — According to the data released earlier this month by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), billed charges for selected common services at Lakes Region General Hospital (LRGH) are relatively high compared to those stated by a sample of other hospitals in the state. For the first time, CMS published the posted charges, together with the Medicare reimbursements, of some 3,300 hospitals across the country for the 100 most frequently billed in-patient services, which represent about 60-percent of all Medicare billings. The fiscal year 2011 data shows wide disparities in charges among hospitals for treating the same condition. For examsee MEDICARE page 12

Flood forces evacuation of small town in North Dakota
BISMARCK AP) — A dam that threatened to give way and flood a North Dakota town was holding back the water on Wednesday, though the 1,300 residents of Cavalier were still being told to stay away from their homes. Steady rainfall between Friday and Tuesday dumped about 9 inches of rain on parts of Pembina County, swelling creeks and rivers and sending water flowing across the countryside from west to east in the eastsloping county. The small town of Crystal flooded Tuesday, forcing a few residents from their homes, and people in Cavalier — about 85 miles north of Grand Forks — were told to evacuate Tuesday night as a precaution should the Renwick Dam about six miles west of town on the Tongue River be overwhelmed. The evacuations included two or three patients at a hospital and 63 people in a nursing home and assisted living center, county Emergency Manager Andrew Kirking said. They were taken either to care facilities in surrounding communities see FLOOD page 13

N.H. House rejects casino bill, 199-164 CONCORD (AP) — In line with decades of opposition to casinos, the House turned aside lobbying by the governor and arguments that New Hampshire should compete with Massachusetts for gambling dollars to vote down yet another casino bill Wednesday. After two hours of debate, the House voted 199-164 to kill a Senate bill that would allow 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games at one facility. Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan had lobbied heavily for its passage, and supporters said New
Hampshire needed money for higher education, highways and other programs. New Hampshire has no personal income or general sales tax and many felt gambling was the best remaining way to raise money without a tax. But opponents argued a casino wasn’t worth the possibility of more gambling addicts and a tarnished image of a state that caters to families and tourists. Hassan had included $80 million from a casino licensing fee in her budget, but passage of a gambling bill seemed a long shot
until recent weeks when the vote appeared to tighten. She did win over a majority of Democrats, but 107 Republicans and 92 Democrats teamed up to kill the bill. Hassan said she was disappointed in the outcome and criticized the House for not debating any of as many as 20 possible amendments before voting it down. She said putting together a budget will be harder without the gambling money. “The path will be more difficult, but the people of New Hampshire expect us to do see CASINO page 8
WASHINGTON (AP) — At the center of a political storm, an Internal Revenue Service supervisor whose agents targeted conservative groups swore Wednesday she did nothing wrong, broke no laws and never lied to Congress. Then she refused to answer lawmakers’ further questions, citing her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself. In one of the most electric moments since the IRS controversy erupted nearly two
weeks ago, Lois Lerner unwaveringly — but briefly — defended herself before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. But she would say no more, citing legal advice in the face of a federal investigation. Members of Congress have angrily complained that Lerner and other high-ranking IRS officials did not inform them that conservative groups were singled out, even though lawmakers repeatedly asked the
IRS about it after hearing complaints from local tea party groups. The Justice Department has launched a criminal probe of the murky events over the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns, saying it is looking into potential civil rights violations. Top IRS officials say Lerner didn’t tell them for nearly a year after she learned that agents working under her had improperly singled out conservative see IRS page 13
MOORE, Okla. (AP) — The tornado that struck an Oklahoma City suburb this week may have created $2 billion or more in damage as it tore through as many as 13,000 homes, multiple schools and a hospital, officials said Wednesday as they gave the first
detailed account of the devastation. At the same time, authorities released the identities of some of the 24 people, including 10 children, who perished. While anguish over the deaths was palpable as residents began picking up their shattered
neighborhoods, many remained stunned that the twister didn’t take a higher human toll during its 17 miles and 40 minutes on the ground. The physical destruction was staggering. see TORNADO page 15

Oklahoma! The world looked upon the tornado-flattened landscape of Moore, Okla., with awe. The destruction was shocking, as were the personal losses. Many Americans in the audience also felt — and this must be said — some comfort. Here was a country of strong people rolling with some very serious punches. It still exists. On CNN, BBC or wherever, one heard plainspoken voices describing their ordeal with natural stoicism. These were victims (a word they might not apply to themselves) standing in front of the trash piles that were their houses. Some were bearing the death of loved ones, including nine schoolchildren. They spoke calmly of what happened and what they must do next. In the world of TV coverage, miles of devastated streetscapes make for arresting visuals. For this viewer, seeing Oklahomans discuss the monstrous funnel’s rampage in a straightforward manner, only choking up at the end, was far more moving than a sensational telling drenched in passion. But did that fit into the prewritten script that TV news follows in a disaster? The camera does not love quiet forbearance. The script calls for wailing victims. And there must be heroes. In this calamity, there was no shortage of brave people, putting themselves in danger to save others. Reporters found them easily and asked the stock question: “Do you consider yourself a hero?” It’s rare that anyone will come out and say, “Yes, I’m a hero.” But there are ways to imply it. You often hear, sometimes with false modesty, “Anyone would have done what I did.” Television likes that. But when the Oklahomans were asked whether they considered themselves heroes, they were more likely to brush off the question or answer in a flat “nope.” We glued to screens vividly recall the memorable moments when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer prompted a young mother to describe her close escape. Standing beside the exposed carpet of her wrecked house, Rebecca Vitsmun related in
a matter-of-fact way how, when she saw the tornado heading her way, she grabbed her baby and made a run for it. Vitsmun smiled through the entire interview, and so did the toddler. No tears. No moaning about how everything her family owned is lost. No mention of irreplaceable heirlooms smashed to bits. Hers was a harrowing story delivered matter-of-factly. Almost in a fit of frustration for drama, Blitzer gives the woman her cue. “You’ve gotta thank the Lord, right? Do you thank the Lord for that split-second decision?” The script says that people in the heartland are prone to publicly thank the Lord with great emotion. Showing considerable patience, the woman answers, “I — I’m actually an atheist.” Taken aback, Blitzer says: “Oh, you are? All right.” Vitsmun then responds with perfect grace, “We are here, and I don’t blame anybody for thanking the Lord.” Tornado alley is a special kind of danger zone. When flooding is expected, people can move to high ground. There is no obvious place to flee in Tornado Alley. When the warning comes, it’s often just a few minutes’ worth. And any structure could be a bowling pin about to be knocked down. A tornado is terrifying to look at, its freight-train roar horrifying. Coastal Americans visiting Kansas City take special notice of the “tornado shelter” signs in tall buildings. “We know we live in Tornado Alley,” many interviewees said with resignation. And they’re staying in Tornado Alley. Most of the world has never been to Oklahoma. What it knows about Oklahoma may have come from the musical “Oklahoma!” Note the exclamation point in the title. People in Oklahoma don’t talk in exclamation marks, and that’s all the more reason to keep it. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
864 voted on election day; 147 showed up for town meeting To the editor, Reading The Sanbornton Town Meeting Minutes, which can be found on the town website, you will note that of the two hand votes taken at the meeting; 147 people voted on one article and 120 on another. What a democratic process — 120-147 people voting out of 2,178 registered voters, I can’t believe that anyone would in good conscience favor such a poor
response when SB-2 would have brought out many more voters On election day 864 people voted, and whatever the outcome they were able to vote on election day from 7 AM-7 PM. To bad the other 724 voters who showed up on Election Day couldn’t make it to the Town Meeting. Bill Whalen Sanbornton
Write the editor: news@laconiadailysun.com
LETTERS Give on SB-2 for Gilmanton? Sorry Monitor, It’s not happening To the editor, Regarding the editorial in the Concord Monitor suggesting that everyone just give up trying to get SB-2 accepted in Sanbornton — I feel that I must protest. The gist of the editorial is that after 13 years of being on the ballot, SB-2 has not been chosen, proponents of SB-2 should back off. To quote them, “Our advice to them: Give it a rest.” The real message is...”You have been defeated, so enough already — give up, put your tail between legs, slink away and don’t bother bringing it up again. Ironically, town meeting is supposed to represent old fashioned values and community. And yet the Monitor’s suggestion is the very antithesis of good fellowship and good sportsmanship i.e.; being good winners and good losers. While offering a back-handed olive branch by suggesting that Sanbornton tailor the meeting to meet the needs of additional participants, the “in your face” implication almost suggests that the Monitor might have some sort of ax to grind! Odd since they are the CONCORD Monitor. At any rate, they are certainly NOT appearing to be a good winner, are they? “They won — you lost — so go home and don’t bother ever trying again because your defeat is a “done deal” — quite the poignant message to
send out to people striving for change. Unfortunately, it is also a posture that is usually associated with bullies and dictators. I don’t know about you, but the very idea of a defeatist mentality makes me sick. It wasn’t the way I was raised and it certainly isn’t the way I think living in a free country should be. And it is certainly not an acceptable concept to teach our younger generations. In another op-ed piece I mentioned the likes of Nazi Germany and communist countries everywhere — where free speech was curtailed and (even with the Borg in Star Trek), all efforts to resist are considered futile. But consider what might have happened if defeat had been regarded as a fait du complet during the great wars of our time — the Revolution, the Civil War, WWI an WWII. We probably would all be speaking with British accents — or worse — we wouldn’t be speaking any form of English at all! The saying goes — If you don’t succeed, Try, try again. The Monitor’s message spin on it? If you don’t succeed — just give up! Hopefully anyone working towards change in Sanbornton, or anywhere else, has enough intelligence and good sense as to NOT pay any attention to such drivel. Give up? Sorry — not gonna happen! T.K. Whalen Sanbornton
Belknap Convention seems poised to vote for expanding govt. To the editor, Nowhere in the report of Michael Kitch on the Belknap County meeting of Tuesday, May 21, was there mention of Colette Worsman’s excellent rebuttal to false reports which have recently appeared in The Sun at the instigation of the Belknap commissioners. Curious, since until now Mr. Kitch has been so even-handed in his reportorial style. As to the main event, one is left with the surmise that liberals are correct when they challenge alleged conservatives on their motivation to limit expenditures. Conservatives frequently use the refuge that they are guided by economic principles but that seems not to be the case with the Belknap Convention, which appears
poised to vote for an expansion of government. The concept of reaping profit from an expansion of services that are more legitimately the function of the private sector is not one based upon a political philosophy nor even upon economic analysis. The underling assumptions by the Belknap staff which were offered to the convention are arbitrary and not reducible to bedrock numbers. To see liberals and conservatives unite behind them in service to the growth of government is less than appetizing. Rep. Dick Burchell Belknap 5 Gilmanton (Editor’s note: Try as he might, it is see next page

LETTERS Every president is accountable & rule of law is to be respected To the editor, White House senior advisor Dan Pfeifferit has astonished all astute Americans by actually asserted the law is “irrelevant” in considering the IRS scandal. Even after all the official deception since Ambassador Rice’s initial ruse, Mr. Pfeifferit pronounced that the president’s whereabouts as four Americans were murdered serving us in Benghazi was also “largely irrelevant fact.” Employing a bewildering doublethink rationale, Mr. Pfeifferit went on to say that the charges of Republicans (not “of Americans” mind you) are “trumped up” and “offensive” to the White House. Are we to understand Mr. Pfeifferit’s assertion to be that Americans are “trumping up” their dissatisfaction with being repeatedly mislead about the murder of the four Americans who died in their service? Is it “offensive” to seek the end governmental abuse directed at fellow citizens exercising their First Amendment rights? Are we to understand that it is the White House who is “offended?” The rationale would make George Orwell blush. We have politically and legally evo-
lution since kings of former times claimed their decrees represented God’s will, Mr. Pfeifferit and those of his ilk forget that the basis of the president’s authority is legal, not rhetorical. Laws are “relevant” to the exercise of governmental authority. President Obama’s arbitrary decisions and warnings such as “If Congress does not act, I will,” is not simply a poor decision making process; it is contrary to the rule of law inherent in the Constitution of the United States. Federalist Madison, commenting of freedom of speech reminded us that “Without this robust freedom of expression, perhaps, the Constitution itself would not have come into being.” It is the Constitution that grants the inherent Congressional oversight responsibilities that displeases Mr. Pfeifferitt. The First Amendment is the very core of the Constitution; the core “irrelevant” law Mr. Pfeifferitt and the IRS have sought to degrade. How does this occur? Presidents use the word “enemy” to describe people with whom we are at war. President Obama, who pretends we are not at war, uses the word to describe selected fellow American citizens. For over five years he has personally and publicly ridiculed citizens whose opinions are not in lockstep with his own. He has used the bully pulpit to denounce citizens who owned aircraft, were “fat cats,” worked on Wall Street, acquired wealth in their lives, were stupid police, had successful small businesses, believed
from preceding page not always possible for Mr. Kitch to commit everything to writing in the time allowed between the end of a given meeting and his deadline here at The Sun. Some things just have to wait. His report on matter referred to in Rep. Burchell’s first paragraph is in today’s paper.)
in free markets, donated to the “wrong” causes, or saved too much for their retirement. Increasingly, with no thought to a targeted citizen’s liberties, their reputations, financial, emotional, and psychological well-being, or even their physical safety following his vilification from the most powerful office on Earth, he has increasingly personally and publicly denounced citizens by their name. Just like Mr. Pfeifferitt has done, President Obama other minions have also substituted substantive and informed debate with layers of personal attacks until the facts--or the law, have no significance in articulating their reasoning. After years of complaints of government abuse by Republicans, fiscal conservatives, and Tea Party supporters, and following Harry Reid’s public bragging about his having 10 years of details of Governor Romney’s taxes while speaking on the Senate floor, finally an I.G. report has confirmed what the complainants knew. President Obama’s now wants informed citizens capable of independent thought, to believe that he became aware of these behaviors only days before they were to be made public. Additionally, intelligent citizens are to believe that the groups persecuted by the IRS are the very same targets of Obama’s diatribes. rage, the activities just happened to coincided with his own political interests for years. Subsequent investigations will probably fail to find a “smoking-gun.”
No one will discover a statement-ofwork or contract signed by President Obama directing these abuses. I suspect that as more facts slowly emerge, Americans will rationally conclude what their hearts sadly already know. President Obama’s years of unrelenting belittlement of fellow citizens, is directly responsible for the obnoxious and often illegal comportment of many of his underlings as they carried out both official and oblique abuses aimed at fellow citizens who had the audacity to think independently of his monologues. We have seen this tactic of intolerance called “hate speech” in other times. As President Obama would often say it is “Not who we are.” Thus Mr. Pfeifferit is half right after all. Although not the responsibility of the “enemies” Mr. Pfeifferit’s implies, stories have been “trumped up.” and “offenses” have occurred. Isn’t it finally time to restore honor and trust in our institutions, for destructive attacks such as those from Mr. Pfeifferit’s to cease, and for comprehensive respectful cooperation with Congress to commence? I suspect most Americans disagree with Mr. Pfeifferit on two points; (1) Every president is accountable to the citizens he or she serves, and (2). Our rule of law, the Constitution, and especially the First Amendment is highly relevant. It should be respected in letter and spirit. Actually, this is “Who we are.” Michael D.

LETTERS Bow Wow 3 was a great success; sincere thanks to everyone To the editor, Many thanks to everyone for a successful Bow Wow 3. It is such an honor to be head cheerleader for a Pooch Parade that gathers more steam each year. Beginning with my employer Melcher & Prescott Insurance and the Board of Directors of WOW Trail right on down to each business whose name appears on the back of our now famous “Kiwi” tee shirt, to every volunteer who helped from handling registrations to setting up shop to managing the two — and four-legged — participants, I give you all my heartfelt thanks.

So where is that 76 acres of floodwater supposed to go now? To the editor, I’m watching the “progress” on the Tenney Mountain highway bank and fast food restaurant relocation construction. So let me get this right — with recommendation of the Plymouth Planning Board, the Town of Plymouth voted to fill in (raise above flood stage) an additional 76 acres of
flood plain, effectively removing 76 acres from the flood plain. So now where will this 76 acres of floodwater go? I suppose the next big Baker River flood we can blame on global warming and not on the fact that we are filling in the flood plain. David Lorman Plymouth

To the editor, Senator Ayotte sent me a long e-mail saying that she wanted to “fix” the problem of gun violence. She said that she wanted stronger background checks. Think that will happen? I replied that we now have no new gun violence legislation, despite
roughly 90 percent approval for stronger background checks. Nothing. Ayotte supporters seem to have equal representation in letters to The Citizen of Laconia, but I feel that most readers are against her decision. Dick Devens Center Sandwich

Laconia welcomes 5 new firefighters, 4 initially paid for by federal grant By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson yesterday announced that five firefighters have joined the department, four of them as the result of the decision of the City Council to accept a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency worth $642,000, which will pay their wages and benefits for two years. The four firefighters include two veterans of the Henniker Fire Department, Gregory Aucoin and Brennan Lorden, both of Henniker. Aucoin, a graduate of Bob Jones University, is a level 2 firefighter
and EMT-paramedic, who has served in Henniker for eight years. Lorden volunteered for the Salisbury Fire Department and interned with the Concord Fire Department before joining the Henniker department as a level 2 firefighter and EMT-intermediate. Ray Bushey III of Raymond, also a level 2 firefighter and EMT-intermediate, earned his associates degree in fire science at Lakes Region Community College and served as a student firefighter with the Alton Fire Department. The fourth firefighter, Nathan Mills, comes from Connecticut where he works with Bridgeport Emergency Medical Services as an EMT-paramedic. He has a bachelor’s degree in fire science from the Uni-
versity of New Haven, graduated from the Connecticut Fire Academy Recruit School and served in the East Hartford Fire Department. Trevor Greene of Sandwich, the fifth new member to join the department this month, will replace Bruce Barrett, who has retired as the “Most Senior Firefighter.” Like Aucoin and Lorden, Greene also served with the Henniker Fire Department. A graduate in fire science from New England College, he is a level 2 firefighter and EMT-advanced. Erickson the addition of the four firefighters marks the first increase in overall staffing since 2006 and brings the daily complement to nine officers and firefighters on duty 24 hours a day.
Young refugee from warn torn Sierra Leone sentenced for threatening police By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The local man who was found guilty of two counts of threatening to assault a city police officer and members of his family was sentenced yesterday in Belknap County Superior Court to serve 1 1/2 to 3 years in the New Hampshire State Prison, with a second sentence of 1 1/2 to 3 years suspended on the condition of good behavior. Abdul Kamara, 21, who last known address was 4 Hill St., was one of two men involved in an altercation with police the resulted in one police officer getting a broken nose. Stephen Johnstone, 21, is charged with the assault on the officer and has yet to stand trial. In his sentencing memorandum, attorney Charles
Temple of the UNH School of Law Criminal Practice Clinic asked for two consecutive sentences of 12 months each — one suspended — in the Belknap County House of Corrections. In his argument he said Kamara was born in in 1989 in Sierra Leone, a country in the throes of a civil war that, according to the BBC, was marked by atrocities include rebels whose trademark was to hack off the hands and feet of their victims. When he was two, Kamara was separated from his parents and lived for the next eight years in a refugee camp where Temple said he was the target of sexual abuse. He was also a witness to the sexual abuse of his younger sister. Sierra Leone is on the West Coast of Africa and is rich in minerals including so-called “blood dia-

monds.” Former Liberian leader Charles Taylor was convicted in The Hague in 2012 for aiding and abetting war crimes during the Sierra Leone civil war. “The first 10 years of Abdul’s life where characterized by extreme poverty, hunger, abuse, and terror,” wrote Temple. “He lived in a hell where there was a lack of food, no running water limited sanitation and extreme violence.” Temple said Kamara was 10, he and his two sisters came to Laconia through a sponsorship of the First Baptist Church. He said a local family took Kamara and his two sisters into their home and he thrived, excelling in school and various sports. When Kamara’s older sister moved the family to Virginia, Kamara, according to Temple, was devassee next page

Standoff in Barnstead ends peacefully BARNSTEAD — The Belknap County Special Operations Group responded with local police to a report of an adult male who had said he was going to harm himself Monday night. According to a media statement issued jointly by Police Chief Ken Borgia and Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin, the Barnstead Police responded at 8:30 p.m. to Parade Circle, which is part of a square that comprised the Parade section of town that is off Old Route 28. The report said the adult man had a juvenile female inside and local police learned he possessed a number of firearms. When the man didn’t respond to CASINO from page 2

At 11:45 p.m. a negotiator was successful in reaching the man on the telephone and he left the house voluntarily following a brief discussion. The young female was found sleeping in the house, unharmed. The man was turned overt to the Barnstead Police and taken to the hospital for a compulsory psychiatric evaluation. Authorities said the man has not been charged with a crime and no charge is anticipated.
difficult things,” she said in a statement. Senate President Peter Bragdon, a Milford Republican, said the Senate was putting together its budget without assuming any gambling money. He said the House vote means the issue won’t resurface in budget negotiations next month. The casino bill had allocated most of the state’s profits to highway improve-
ments, higher education and economic development in the northern part of the state. It is now up to each representative who voted against the bill “to tell us exactly how he or she intends to find the new, non-tax revenues we need to create jobs, fix our infrastructure and help the North Country,” three bill sponsors, Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Morse, Sen.

Temple said Kamara was forced to start all over again and fell in with the wrong group of students in Virginia that ultimately led to convictions in 2007 for larceny and assault. He was released from jail after serving four months but was detained by U.S. Immigration until 2009 in San Antonio, Texas. AFter his release he went to Virginia, transferred his probation to New Hampshire, and returned to Laconia where he graduated from Laconia High School in 2009. Temple proposed sentences in the
Belknap County House of Corrections because he said the purpose of incarceration was rehabilitation and during the 147 days Kamara has spent in the Belknap County Jail awaiting sentencing, he has had “ample opportunity to reflect on his criminal behavior following the car stop in September of 2012 that led to his arrest and conviction. “He is ashamed, remorseful, and embarrassed by this inexcusable conduct,” wrote Temple on behalf of Kamara. In handing down Kamara’s sentence, Judge James O’Neill III ruled that Kamara was eligible to apply for a sentence rehearing at a future date.

Rep. Frank Sapareto, a Derry Republican, said a casino was the only way to raise money that didn’t come from taxes. “Our constituents don’t want an income tax. They don’t want a sales tax,” he said. Rep. Gary Richardson, D-Hopkinton, disagreed. “This is a tax bill,” he said. “It is a tax on gambling. The industry may be inviting that tax because they want to get something out of it. They want a large profit.” Rep. David Campbell, a Nashua Democrat, argued New Hampshire would effectively be giving away its citizens’ gambling in three casinos being licensed in Massachusetts if it didn’t approve its own facility. “There is no wall between New Hampshire and Massachusetts. If we do nothing today we will be constructing a giant funnel instead of a casino funneling billions of dollars to Massachusetts,” said Campbell. But opponents argued New Hampshire would be creating a monopoly with most of the money flowing to an out-ofstate casino owner. “In the bill before us today, the state only gets 30 percent (of the profit).

BELMONT — The theme for this year’s Belmont Old Home Day is Belmont Pride and there was plenty of that on display Tuesday night as the Old Home Day Committee held its annual Good Citizen Award program at the Corner Meetinghouse. Jacqui McGettigan, organizer of the event, said that she was thrilled by the response to the program, which saw 15 seniors nominated for the annual award. ‘’It’s the largest group ever nominated and I’m very proud of those students and their parents,’’ said McGettigan, who turned the proceedings over to Courtney Clary, 2011 winner and now a student at Vanderbilt University. Clary outlined the criteria by which the winner is selected, including respect for others and the views of others, as well as pride and involvement in their community, and the nine students who chose to participate in the event gave speeches and then offered their insights to an impromptu question followup. When the speeches were over, judges David Morse, Diane Clary and Tonyel Mitchell-Berry tallied up their scores and Kaleb Bruce was selected as the
winner of a $400 scholarship. Bruce, who said after the event that thrilled to have won, will attend Merrimack College this fall where he will major in chemistry and secondary education. His speech highlighted the benefits of the feeling of being a part of a small, close-knit community where he is easily recognized when he walks into Brookside Pizza and where he is asked if he wants ‘’the usual’’ when he shows up at Dunkin Donuts. He answered a follow up question on whom he views as a hero by saying that it was his father, who works hard to provide for his family and still manages to show up at events that he is involved in. Runner-up was Elizabeth Yelle, who said that Belmont was ‘’a town to live in and always come back to,’’ She won a $250 scholarship. Tied for third and winners of $150 scholarships were Austin Wilder and Steven Farkas while Kurt Oberhausen was fourth and won a $100 scholarship. Other nominees were Nikki Miller, Adam Prout, Brielle Moore, Adam Horan, Nicole Derosia, Sinjen Flanders, Devon Kenney, Nikkilynn Mercier, Micah Remenar and Rachel McMenaman.

WORSMAN from page one was reaching decisions behind closed doors made by County Administrator Debra Shackett when the commission met on May 15. As reported in The Daily Sun, Shackett said that “the intent of the leadership is not to deliberate issues in public. They’re going to come in with a motion already prepared.” Her remarks followed Worsman’s decision to abruptly cancel a public hearing on the request for a supplemental appropriation scheduled earlier, claiming that the administration failed to provide the convention with sufficient information about the issue. Shackett was echoed by John Thomas (R-Belmont) the chairman of the commission, who was reported to suggest the convention may be in violation of the Right-to-Know Law. Likewise, Commissioner Ed Philpot (D-Laconia) was quoted to have said that the convention has followed “a process which is patently incompatible with open government.” Calling the charges “entirely false,” Worsman insisted that that there have been no private meetings and no decisions have been reached beyond the public eye. She stressed that it was appropriate to request information for members of the convention prior to the public hearing, which they required to make an informed and responsible decision. “The convention has been entirely open,” Worsman declared. Shackett, who was attending to a family member with a serious medical condition, was not at the meeting and Thomas told Worsman that he would not presume to speak on her behalf. Meanwhile, in anticipation of pursuing its dispute between with the commission over their respective authority over the budget, the convention voted to designate Worsman the liaison with Attorney David Horan, who it earlier retrained as legal counsel. When Rep. Ian Raymond (D-Sanbornton) reminded Worsman that the commission, which is authorized to retain and pay legal counsel to represent the county, has already refused to pay two legal bills and asked how Horan would be paid, she simply replied that the commission is obliged to pay legal costs incurred by the county.

METH from page one 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning. According to a statement from the Sheriff’s Department, at around 11:30 a.m. Deputy Justin Blanchette observed one of the two men, who he did not identify, engaged in suspicious activity outside the Christy Jarrell apartment building. He was (BCSD photo) subsequently found in possession of methamphetamine and arrested. Later, apparently suspecting a methamphetamine laboratory might be operating in the building, officers from the Sheriff’s Department, with assistance from the Laconia Police and Fire Departments, executed a search warrant at the man’s apartment, where they found other controlled and narcotic drugs together with materials commonly used to produce methamphetamine. There were no allegations that there was an active drug-making operation discovered at the time of the search. On Saturday, shortly before 1 p.m., Jarrell was arrested after being found in the parking lot of the nearby Walgreen’s drugstore in illegal possession of a hypodermic needle. — Michael Kitch

MEDICARE from page one ple, Bloomberg News found that the price of treating pneumonia and pleurisy, the most common of the 100 services, ranges from $5,093 to $124,051 while for the treatment of psychoses, which displayed the greatest discrepancies, the most expensive hospital charges $144,523, 52 times more than the least expensive. Medicare reimbursement rates, which reflect what CMS calculates is a reasonable payment for a particular service, represent approximately 90-percent of the actual estimated hospital costs for providing those services. But, on average, they also represent only about a quarter of the amounts hospitals actually bill for. And they vary much less from hospital to hospital than the hospitals’ own published rates. In taking a closer look at the data regarding LRGH, The Daily Sun picked treatments for five of the 100 services — chronic obstructive pulmonary ideas (COPD), simple pneumonia and pleurisy, heart failure and shock , major joint replacement and kidney and urinary tract infections, each corresponding to medical conditions frequently treated at the hospital. The charges and payments for these treatments at LRGH were compared to the data reported for five other New Hampshire hospitals — Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, Cheshire Medical Center in Keene, Concord Hospital in Concord and Portsmouth Regional Hospital in Portsmouth. (See chart at left) As a multiple of Medicare payments, LRGH scored the highest among the nonprofit hospitals at 3.26 selected for comparison. That is, the hospitals published rates — “chargemasters”, they are called — are an average of 3.26 times the Medicare reimbursement rates. Wentworth-Douglass followed closely at 3.24. They were the only hospitals in the group with multiples of more than three. Cheshire Medical Center, with a multiple of two, ranked the lowest. Portsmouth Regional Hospital, which is owned by Hospital Corporation of America and the only for-profit hospital in the group, ranked the highest of the six with charges 4.14 times more than payments, Moreover, Portsmouth charged the most for four of the five treatments focused on, with major joint replacement the lone exception. The data indicated that for-profit hospitals accorded the highest multiples throughout the country. Among the nonprofit hospitals, LRGH charged the most for three of the five treatments — COPD, pneumonia and pleurisy and kidney and urinary tract infections — and not much less than WentworthDouglass for a fourth — heart failure and shock. Henry Lipman, senior vice-president for financial strategy and external relations at LRGH, said that pricing reflects the character of the population the hospital serves and treatment the hospital provides. More than 60-percent of the in-patients served at LRGH are enrolled in Medicare, the greatest share of any of the 13 largest hospital in the state. Lipman said that that of the three hospitals in the state that receive a specific base rate for Medicare patients, LRGH receives the lowest rate. Likewise, the hospital serves a relatively large population enrolled in Medicaid, the federal program for the poor. The higher charges, Lipman explained, reflect the shifting of costs to privately insured patients to offset the difference between the cost of treating those enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid and the reimbursements received. At the same time, Lipman noted that LRGH mix of patients includes a relatively high proportion with chronic and recurrent conditions that do not lend themselves to procedural solutions but require continual monitoring, care and treatment. These so-called “medical cases,” he said are generally more costly than conditions that can be treated and reversed by surgical procedures. On the other hand, Lipman said that to retain the most profitable services, both for in-patients and out-patients, they must be priced competitively. Among the five selected treatments, major joint replacement is an example of this competitive pricing. Only Cheshire Medical charges less for the procedure than LRGH among the six hospitals.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 23, 2013— Page 13
IRS from page 2 groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. Under unrelenting criticism — most forcefully from Republicans but also from Democrats and people outside politics — administration officials from President Barack Obama on down have denounced the targeting as inappropriate and inexcusable. Lerner, who heads the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status and first disclosed the targeting at a legal conference, has said the same. But she also spoke up for herself Wednesday, sitting stern-faced at the committee witness table. “I have not done anything wrong,” she said. “I have not broken any laws, I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee.” By one lawmaker’s count, Lerner was asked 14 times by members of Congress or their staffs without revealing that the groups had been targeted. On Wednesday, lawmakers didn’t get a chance to ask Lerner again. Nine minutes after she began speaking, Lerner was excused, though committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said he might recall her. He and other Republicans say they believe she forfeited her Fifth Amendment privilege not to testify by giving an opening statement in which she proclaimed her innocence, but several law professors were skeptical they could make that stick. Issa later said he would consult with others — including her lawyer and House attorneys — before determining whether to summon her again, hopefully deciding by the time Congress returns from an upcoming recess early next month. “She’s a fact witness with a tremendous amount that she could tell us,” Issa said. By leaving early, Lerner missed out on a six-hour grilling that three other witnesses endured. The hearing was Congress’ third on the IRS controversy in the past week. Taken together, testimony by current and former officials indicates that Lerner’s actions were consistent with theirs: Once officials learned that conservative groups were being targeted, they say they made sure the practice was stopped, but they were slow to tell superiors, if they did so at all. They also didn’t tell Congress, until Lerner herself made it public at a May 10 legal conference. “Think about it. For more than a year, the IRS knew that it had inappropriately targeted groups of Americans based on their political beliefs without mentioning it,” Issa said. “There seemed to be a culture of insulation that puts higher priority on deniability than addressing blatant wrongdoing.” The hearings have been notable for what they have not shown as well as what they have. No evidence has emerged that anyone outside the IRS, including the White House, directed agents to go after conservative groups. And there has been no evidence that anyone outside the IRS was made aware that the groups were being targeted until a few weeks before the inspector general released his report on the situation last week. Still, Obama’s top spokesman said Wednesday the White House is facing “legitimate criticisms” for its shifting accounts about who knew what, and when they knew it. from preceding page In releasing the data, CMS said that it intended to bring a measure of clarity to what Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, an advocacy group, called “the craziest of crazy quilts.” Some commentators have been quick to stress that very few patients pay the posted charges of hospitals. Insurers bargain discounted rates while most hospitals, including LRGH, offer financial assistance or provide charitable care, to uninsured and needy patients. However, others claim that hospitals use the posted charges to strengthen their bargaining position with the insurance companies and sustain income at discounted rates and, by charging few the full rate, inflate the value of the charitable and uncompensated care they provide.
Bill banning lightweight lead fishing jigs passes House CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s House wants to get rid of lead fishing tackle blamed for killing loons. The House voted 225-142 Wednesday to prohibit the use of lead-weighted hooks known as jigs that weigh 1 ounce or less. The current law prohibits lead jigs that are 1 inch long or less. The House amended the Senate bill to make it
effective as of June 1, 2016, giving anglers and retailers time an additional year to find substitute tackle. Supporters argued the bill will protect loons and allows plenty of time for anglers and dealers to switch to non-lead tackle. Opponents said they weren’t convinced the measure would reduce loon deaths, which they said vary annually.
FLOOD from page 2 or to the homes of relatives. Local, state and federal officials built an emergency levee with the help of the National Guard on Tuesday to try to prevent floodwaters from eroding the emergency spillway at the earth-and-concrete Renwick Dam. The levee was being reinforced and monitored Wednesday as the area enjoyed sunshine instead of rain clouds for the first time in five days, Kirking said.
“The rising water has slowed overnight. It is still rising, but it is not nearly at the rate it was yesterday at this time,” he said. “We are very, very cautiously optimistic now that the water has slowed.” A slow leak in the dam would mean a slow rise of water over a long period of time downstream, Kirking said. “Should we have a catastrophic failure, the worst-case scenario, we would see a massive amount of water,” he said. “We could see a foot of standing water in the six miles from (the dam) to Cavalier.”

Buchholz goes to 7-0 with win over White Sox CHICAGO (AP) — Clay Buchholz pitched fivehit ball over seven innings to improve to 7-0, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep. David Ortiz delivered a two-run single in the first off Hector Santiago (1-3), and the Red Sox backed Buchholz with several neat defensive plays on the
way to their sixth win in eight games. Jonny Gomes made a sliding catch on Paul Konerko’s line drive to left with two on to end the first. Jacoby Ellsbury raced to the center-field warning track to snag Alexei Ramirez’s liner with a runner on and two out in the fifth to preserve a 2-1 lead.
Jury in Arias trial hung up in deciding death penalty PHOENIX (AP) — Jurors in the Jodi Arias murder trial said Wednesday they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on whether she should be sentenced to life in prison or death for killing her one-time boyfriend, prompting the judge to instruct them to keep trying. The panel reported its impasse after only about two and a half hours of deliberations. Judge Sherry Stephens told jurors to try to identify areas of agreement and disagreement as they work toward a decision. The jury then continued deliberating until late afternoon, when it adjourned for the day without a decision. Deliberations were set to resume at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday. Under Arizona law, a hung jury in the death penalty phase of a trial requires a new jury to be seated to decide the punishment. If the second jury cannot reach a unanimous decision, the judge would then sentence Arias to spend her entire life in prison or be eligible for release after 25 years. In the event of a hung jury in the Arias trial, the case could drag on for several more months, said former Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley. “If that happens, this jury would be dismissed and a second jury would be impaneled, and you’d
literally have to go through the whole case again,” Romley said, adding the murder conviction would stand and the new panel would be considering only the sentence. However, the new jury would have to review evidence and hear opening statements, closing arguments and witness testimony in a “Cliffs Notes” version of the trial, Romley said. Romley also noted that if the current jury deadlocks, the prosecutor could decide to take the death penalty off the table. If that happens, the judge would determine whether Arias spends her entire life in prison or is eligible for release after 25 years. The judge cannot sentence Arias to death. The panel heard emotional comments last week from Travis Alexander’s family as the prosecutor argued the 32-year-old Arias should be executed for his gruesome killing. Arias responded Tuesday by pleading for mercy, saying she can become a model prisoner by teaching inmates how to read and speak Spanish and helping the prison launch recycling programs. She also wants to be an advocate for domestic violence victims.
All but 30 House lawmakers side with auto dealers CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s auto dealers could be getting protections from lawmakers in their dealings with their manufacturers. The House voted 338-30 Wednesday to pass the Dealer Bill of Rights giving New Hampshire auto dealers greater leverage in agreements with manufacturers. The bill would limit mandatory facility upgrades

to every 15 years. New Hampshire dealers had complained they currently have no leverage in agreements they sign with manufacturers. They said manufacturers can require them to pay for costly and unnecessary renovations. The House voted to include farm and construction equipment dealers in the bill, though some objected that could run the risk of nullifying contracts between the dealers and manufacturers. The bill goes to the Senate to consider changes made by the House.

Nathan Daubenspeck shines the shoes of Tyler Emond on the sidewalk in front of Labelle’s Shoe Repair in downtown Laconia. Daubenspeck, and his brother Derek, will be offering the old-fashioned service more often this summer. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)
Polishing up downtown, 1 shoe at a time By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Nathan Daubenspeck began shining shoes on the suggestion of his father, Jim, who owns Labelle’s Shoe Repair in downtown Laconia. Jim wanted his 13-year-old son to pick up a work ethic and to learn a little about business. One thing Nathan has learned is that it’s good to have a corner on the market. “I learned not a lot of people do it. People say, you’re shoe shining? I haven’t seen that in a while!” said Nathan, who started in September of last year, setting up his chair and shine box on the sidewalk in front of his father’s Main Street shop every other Friday. Now that foot traffic is picking up downtown for the summer season, Nathan, alternating duties with his brother Derek, will offer sidewalk shoe shines with greater frequency. Derek will be shin-
ing shoes this and next Friday, while Nathan will be back on duty on June 7. There will be a sign posted in front of Labelle’s when on-the-spot shines are available. If not, customers can always drop off shoes to be shined and picked up later. The Daubenspeck boys charge $4 for a shine. In addition to shining shoes at Labelle’s, Nathan also heads over to the Laconia Police Department at the afternoon shift change to give officers a fresh shine. “It feels good because they’re doing something for us, so we can do something for them.” “I really appreciate it,” Nathan said of his new trade. “I like how you’re able to take a trashed shoe and make it much better.” He also likes how shoe shining gives him a break from his home schooling. “It’s really fun. I get to hang out with my dad.” Nathan added, “Anyone who needs a shine can come see me or my brother.”
American Legion allocates $1M for tornado relief WASHINGTON — The American Legion announced that it is allocating $1 million to veterans affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma. The money will be used to cover relocation expenses for veterans and their families whose homes were devastated by the disaster. The American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans organization, has previously assisted emergency efforts following Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. The American Legion has set up a hotline for vet-
erans needing emergency assistance. They can call 1-800-504-4098. If they have legal custody of minor children, they can seek help though the Legion’s Temporary Financial Assistance Program. Veterans without children can seek assistance through The American Legion National Emergency Fund. Individuals wishing to donate to The American Legion National Emergency Fund should call 1-800-2537000, donate online at www.legion.org/emergency/ help or mail checks to The American Legion NEF, PO Box 1055, Indianapolis, IN 46206.
TORNADO from page 2 “The tornado that we’re talking about is the 1 or 2 percent tornado,” Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management Director Albert Ashwood said of the twister, which measured a top-of-the-scale EF5 with winds of at least 200 mph. “This is the anomaly that flattens everything to the ground.” As response teams transitioned into cleanup and recovery, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett, who sent police and fire crews from his city to assist the effort, said an early assessment estimated damage costs at between $1.5 billion and $2 billion. The Oklahoma Insurance Department, meanwhile, said visual assessments of the extensive damage zone suggest the cost could be greater than the $2 billion from the 2011 tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., and killed nearly seven times as many people.
Though there was little more than 10 minutes warning that a tornado was on the ground Monday and headed for Moore, many in the area are accustomed to severe storms. The community of 56,000 people has been hit by four tornados since 1998, and residents already were on alert after weekend storms and days of warnings. Because the tornado hit in the afternoon, many others were away from the neighborhoods and out of harm’s way at work. Looking over the broken brick, smashed wood and scattered appliances that is all that remains of the home where Dawn Duffy-Relf’s aunt lived with her two daughters, Duffy-Relf and her husband marveled at the devastation — and the survival rate. Duffy-Relf credited central Oklahoma residents’ instincts and habits: they watch the weather reports, they look at the sky, they know what they can and can’t outrun.

This Friday, May 24, from 6 to 10 p.m. people can experience something different at The Studio, 50 Canal Street in Laconia, as several performance and experimental sound artists bring a unique evening to the city. Reed Altemus from Portland, Maine and Josh Ronsen from Austin, Texas are performing as Unpopular Scientists, while Birdorgan, an established experimental group from Manchester, will have three of their members performing, Dei Xhrist, Marc Bisson
and Walter Wright. Melissa McCarthy, owner of The Studio, has done Fluxus-based performance art in both Chicago and New York City with Altemus and Ronsen, and she and Altemus were invited artists to the 2011 Kaunas, Lithuania Biennial. “It’s easier to experience the evening than to explain it,” says McCarthy. “It will be unpredictable, silly, and completely unlike anything you might expect in Laconia on a Friday night.” The event is open to the public. The Studio, located at 50 Canal Street, will be open Friday from 10 a.m. until the evening ends. For more information, call 603-455-8008.

Belmont Police Explorers holding bake sale Saturday BELMONT — The Belmont Police Explorers will hold a bake sale on Saturday, May 25 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Tilton Wal-Mart. The police explorers is a non-profit group that is affilitated with the Boys Scouts of America. The members are trying to raise money for several events
they have planned throughout the year, including a trip to Washington D.C. The explorer post is open to both boys and girls from ages 14 - 20 years old. The explorer program has kids from throughout Belknap and Merrimack Counties.
GILFORD — Martina and Andy Howe of Gilford work year round as farmers. It’s not just a business, but a way of life for them. Many think they only work during the months when their business, Beans & Greens Farm Stand, is open to customers, but that’s not the case. During the winter months there is still livestock to tend to, produce production in greenhouses and local CSA members to supply with the farm’s own frozen vegetables, meats, soups & baked goods. However, nothing compares to the hustle and bustle that begins Memorial Day weekend, which is the unofficial start of summer in the Lakes Region. This Memorial Day weekend is no different in that they have many specials for those weekend planting projects as well as a fun Fairy House building activity for kids, offered all day on Monday. The Deli will be open, selling a variety of salads, sandwiches,
wraps and paninis as well as meats for the family barbecue. Joining the Beans & Greens family this year is their own baker, Emily, who whips up tasty confections right on premises, including a gluten-free selection each day. Living and working a sustainable lifestyle is important to the Howes who are now in their 24th year of business. Andy points out, “We practice our own version of sustainable agriculture here at Beans & Greens by creating a healthy soil fertility that will allow us a bountiful harvest, all while respecting and protecting the environment. This is true not only for our crops but also for our livestock. No antibiotics or hormones are used in raising our livestock therefore preventing those chemicals not only from our meats but also from getting into the ground through animal wastes”. As if farming 370 acres of land isn’t enough, the Howes continue to add to their business. Recent years have seen the introduction of a covered pavilion used for a number of barbecue dinners and performances. In addition, the Howes host a Farm to Table event featuring foods grown right on the farm and prepared by Chef Kevin Halligan of The Local Eatery

Activist Alan Khazei speaking at New Hampton School commencement NEW HAMPTON — New Hampton School will hold its 192nd commencement on Friday morning on the Meservey Hall Lawn. The School will graduate 99 students, hailing from 14 different states and 11 countries. The graduates will be addressed by 2013 Commencement speaker Alan Khazei during the ceremony, which begins at 9:45 a.m. Khazei, who is the co-founder of City Year and founder of Be the Change, Inc., is the cousin of a member of the Class of 2013. “We are thrilled to have Mr. Khazei as our commencement speaker,” Head of School Andrew Menke said. “As someone who has dedicated his life to visionary non-profits and public service, he embodies our mission to create lifelong learners who serve as active global citizens. I think he has the ability to connect with young people as they head off
into their next educational opportunity and provide insight into how they can contribute to what is a rapidly changing world. An added bonus to welcoming him to campus is that he has a personal connection with his cousin Hayden, a three-year student and a member of the Class of 2013.” Khazei has pioneered ways to empower citizens to make a difference. In 1987, as a young graduate from Harvard Law School, he co-founded a nonprofit organization called City Year with his friend, Michael Brown. City Year unites young adults ages 17-24 from all backgrounds for an intensive year of full-time community service mentoring, tutoring, and educating children. It served as the model and inspiration for President Clinton’s AmeriCorps program and now operates in 20 U.S. cities and Johannesburg and London.
Zonta Club accepting applications for Women in Business Scholarship LACONIA — The Zonta Club of the Lakes Region is now accepting applications for the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship. Established in 1998 by Zonta International to encourage undergraduate women to enter careers and seek leadership positions in business-related fields, this program ultimately seeks to influence business decisions that positively affect women by increasing the number of women in executive positions in the field of business management. The program was established from a bequest by the late Jane M. Klausman, a member of the Zonta Club of Syracuse, New York and the 1990-1995 Zonta International Parliamentarian. Applicants must be at least in the
second year of study in a business related program and can include Master’s level of study as well. The local Lakes Region winner will receive $500. Winners of local Zonta Club competitions for the award are then forwarded to the District competition for a $1,000 award. The Lakes Region Club is in District 1 with clubs in New England states and the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. District winners then are eligible for selection for 12 International awards of $7,000 each. Applications can be accessed online at www.zonta.org. Completed applications need to be submitted to the Zonta Club of the Lakes Region at PO Box 1498, Laconia, NH 03247-1498 no later than June 1, 2013 for the 2013 award.

from preceding page in Laconia. “Kevin’s business model shares our passion for locally grown foods, making this partnership a winwin for all involved”, explains Martina. New this year are Educational Livestock Tours and Veggie Tours. Both are guided and take visitors on a tractor-drawn hayride into the croplands or to the Howe’s home farm, just five minutes away, up on the hill. Tours will take up to two hours and allow for questions and answers regarding humane animal husbandry and growing vegetables and flowers with minimal impact on the environment. Also, in keeping with the goal of
educating the next generation about sustainable farming, Beans & Greens has added a Junior Farmers’ Camp for children ages 5-12. This morning camp taking place over three two-day periods (a total of six days) in June, July & August, will allow children (and their parents) to experience the many aspects of farm life through hands-on activities. Campers will learn how to harvest, weed and wash vegetables and care for livestock right along with the field-hands and should expect to get dirty.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
discovering and enjoying who you already are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s hard to create fire from scratch. But when you already have a fire burning, spreading it to new locations is as easy as passing a torch. You have a fire burning in your belly now and will easily ignite one in others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The cow in the meadow is as powerful as it is gentle. You’ll feel similarly tranquil now, enjoying all you are doing even though you could be doing more if you were so inclined. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may experience deep desires and a strong drive to succeed. Harness these energies judiciously, or they will consume your dreams. A slow burn is better than fireworks. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 23). You’ll have moments of heaven on earth. Why keep them a secret? With all you know, you could inspire and motivate others. Giving back is a major theme for you this year. Next month you’ll get the chance to contribute something meaningful to your family. July and August show you building something with friends. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 17, 30, 22, 39 and 2.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Working in isolation can produce results that are too narrow in scope. Open yourself up to more influences. It will take diverse views to shed enough light on a problem to see the solution. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve shown restraint. You’ve been disciplined and discerning. Over time, your consistent demeanor has earned trust. You now radiate refinement and wisdom. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An ancient Chinese proverb says: When a bird flies too high, his song is lost. People respond to you because you communicate on their level. They can understand you. This talent will be put to excellent use today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Words matter, but they cannot always carry a pursuit forward. Action is necessary. Someone has to put in the physical work. You’ll either decide who that someone is, or you’ll do it yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you really believe something, you’ll put your money and the best of your efforts into it. If someone you know seems reticent to invest in any real way, take it as a lack of belief, and look for a partner who is a better fit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In order to triumph, you have to stay in the game. Those who drop out or take too many breaks or detours won’t be able to keep up with the players who consistently show up. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You like it when things are going smoothly, but you don’t shy away from difficulties, either. People like you are made stronger by challenge. Trials make you sharper. Tribulation gives you the chance to be heroic. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re just about finished with a certain role or frame of mind. It is no longer going to work in your life. A master of transformation, you embrace this chance to reinvent yourself and adventure on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you think about it, all self-improvement is a subtle form of self-rejection. Consider giving it up for the time being so you can focus on

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 23, 2013— Page 25
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, May 23, the 143rd day of 2013. There are 222 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 23, 1934, bank robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were shot to death in a police ambush in Bienville Parish, La. On this date: In 1430, Joan of Arc was captured by the Burgundians, who sold her to the English. In 1533, the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon was declared null and void. In 1701, William Kidd was hanged in London after he was convicted of piracy and murder. In 1788, South Carolina became the eighth state to ratify the United States Constitution. In 1873, Canada’s Parliament voted to establish the North West Mounted Police force. In 1911, the newly completed New York Public Library was dedicated by President William Howard Taft, Gov. John Alden Dix and Mayor William Jay Gaynor. In 1937, industrialist and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, founder of the Standard Oil Co. and the Rockefeller Foundation, died in Ormond Beach, Fla., at age 97. In 1945, Nazi official Heinrich Himmler committed suicide while imprisoned in Luneburg, Germany. In 1949, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) was established. In 1967, Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships, an action which precipitated war between Israel and its Arab neighbors the following month. In 1984, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop issued a report saying there was “very solid” evidence linking cigarette smoke to lung disease in non-smokers. In 1993, a jury in Baton Rouge, La., acquitted Rodney Peairs of manslaughter in the shooting death of Yoshi Hattori, a Japanese exchange student he’d mistaken for an intruder. (Peairs was later found liable in a civil suit brought by Hattori’s parents.) Ten years ago: By the narrowest of margins, Congress sent President George W. Bush the third tax cut of his presidency — a $330 billion package of rebates and lower rates for families and new breaks for businesses and investors. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon agreed to submit the U.S.-backed “road map” for peace to the Israeli Cabinet. Annika Sorenstam ended her historic appearance on the PGA tour in the Colonial with a 15-foot par putt, missing the cut by four strokes. Five years ago: Hillary Rodham Clinton quickly apologized after citing the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy as a reason to remain in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination despite increasingly long odds. One year ago: Egypt held the Arab world’s first competitive presidential vote (Islamist Mohammed Morsi was ultimately named the winner following a runoff). A Pakistani doctor who’d helped the CIA hunt down Osama bin Laden was convicted of conspiring against the state; U.S. officials had urged Pakistan to release Dr. Shakil Afridi. Phillip Phillips, a bluesy Georgia guitar man, was crowned the new “American Idol” after defeating teenager Jessica Sanchez.

Page 26 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 23, 2013
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have three wonderful young adult children. The oldest two girls both recently graduated from college and are living at home, working and saving money. The girls were not particularly interested in dating until recently. Our oldest met a guy at work and has fallen hard. She’s always been family oriented, but for the past three months, all she wants to do is be with this guy 24/7. She spends most nights at his place, and we don’t see her at all on the weekends. This behavior does not sit well with me. I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend the night with your boyfriend so early in the relationship. I also don’t like that she disregards her family, especially her younger sister, with whom she had a close relationship. My position is, if she’s still living at home, she should come home to sleep. She can fool around with this guy the rest of the day. I understand I may have some old-fashioned values, but allowing my daughter to live with her boyfriend on a part-time basis shows no respect for my position and is hard for me to swallow. I normally have a great relationship with her, but I haven’t seen or spoken to her in more than two weeks. I’m concerned that if I ask her to have dinner with us more often and spend some time with family on the weekends, she will resent it and it will make matters worse. Am I out of line? -- Concerned Dad Dear Dad: Be careful, Dad. Your daughter is now a grown woman. The lack of prior dating could be one reason why she is so over the moon for the new boyfriend. You apparently don’t object to her having sex, the too-soon timing of which is not up to you and at this point is moot anyway. You simply miss the girl she used to be. It’s OK for you to say you don’t wish to subsidize her liv-
ing with the boyfriend, but we hope you will do so in a loving way, letting her know you miss her at dinnertime. But we also recommend you invite the boyfriend to join you for meals and weekend activities. This will not only encourage your daughter’s participation, but it will allow you to get to know the man who may become your son-in-law. Dear Annie: My oldest sister is very selfish. She has three young children but never wants to spend any time with them. Sis is in her early 40s and acts as if she’s 16. She is only concerned with herself and what others can do for her. She and her husband are always going out and foisting their children on everyone else. When we won’t watch her kids, she gets angry and then tells the kids we don’t love them. Unfortunately, Sis lives in the same town as my parents. I’d like to visit my folks, but I prefer to avoid my sister. Is that wrong? -- Helpless Sibling Dear Sibling: We know it will be difficult, but we urge you to remain civil to your sister for the sake of her children. They need you. Since you don’t live nearby, her selfishness should be manageable in small doses on rare occasion. Please try. Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from “A Father Who Knows.” My 9-year-old son is legally blind and has epilepsy. He is often quiet and withdrawn, and leaving the house with him can be quite a task. He is impulsive and often says and does inappropriate things in public. We continually work with him. I thought I was the only parent who could possibly understand what was going on with my son. I cried reading this letter, because it made me realize that others know my struggles. -- A Coping Mom

Annual Peter Makris Memorial Run will kick off Laconia’s 90th Bike Week
LACONIA — The 7th Annual Peter Makris Memorial Run will kick off the 90th Laconia Bike Week when it roars out from the Naswa Resort on Saturday, June 8 at 11 a.m. Funds raised from the this event, which was conceived as a tribute to Makris’ community involvement, have continued the funding Makris Makris helped start in 2004 when the Laconia Fire Department had no water rescue unit. After the death of Mark Miller, a local paramedic during an under the ice training session, Makris stepped to the plate with a $5,000 check and asked his fellow businesses to do the same. To date the ride has raised $185,000 for the rescue unit. “Our 78-year old resort sits on the lake which is

Makris was also instrumental in purchasing the original boat for the Laconia Fire Department Water Rescue team, so the event has particular significance since the city does not provide funding for this aspect of the Department’s services. Registration, breakfast and line-up starts at the NAZBar & Grill, the Resort’s lakefront hot spot at 8:30 a.m. Commemorative t-shirts with a logo designed by Harley Davidson artist, David Uhl, are included, along with a luncheon buffet, live music and all-day fun-filled party. A patriotic kick off with the Singing Trooper, Sgt. Dan Clark will start hearts pounding, followed by the blessing of the bikes before the ride starts out at 11 a.m. with police motorcycles and an antique fire truck in the lead. New this year is the involvement of the Lakes Region Community College Culinary Arts Department, which will add a new twist to the lunch buffet. Specially prepared items will accompany the grill
stations with the assistance of sponsor, InFusion Sales Group, a food service provider. Live music, raffles, “spirited” promotions and a silent auction create a full-out “Biker Boogie” with an option for guests to roll up their jeans and cool their toes in the lake with the Bruce Marshall Band, a favorite of the event, providing the live entertainment all afternoon. Early-bird, discounted registration, up to May 25, is available at NASWA Resort or online (through June 4) at www.naswa.com/peter_makris.htm, or by calling 603-366-4341. Onsite, event-day registration is $55. VIP registration is $75 to run front of the pack and receive reserved parking or docking, plus a $10 NASWA Gift Card. CALENDAR from page 25
