Lipman leads council charge to support ‘right to work’ By michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The City Council split three-to-two with one abstention last night when urged by Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) to ask the members of the Belknap County legislative delegation to vote to override Governor John Lynch’s veto of the controversial “Right-to-Work” bill. The vote
is expected to be taken on Wednesday. The bill would forbid agreements between unions and employers requiring employees to join a union or pay dues or fees to a union as a condition of employment either before or after they are hired. Lipman was joined by councilors Ava Doyle (Ward 1) and Brenda Baer (Ward 4) while councilors Matt Lahey (Ward 2) and
Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) dissented and councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) abstained. Mayor Michael Seymour did not cast a vote, but said that while he supported unions, he did not believe employees should be compelled to join them. Seymour said that Lipman brought to the issue to the council table and Marie Bradley, see LIPMaN page 14

Retiring LRCC president touted as ‘most interesting man in the room’ By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — For five years the Lakes Region has benefited from the wit and wisdom of retiring Lakes Region Community College President Mark Edelstein. Last night, in honor of his tenure, the community, the faculty and staff, some former students and his family joined at Modern Woodmen
the Laconia County Club to fete the man who they credit with leading the college to the elevated status it enjoys today. “Mark was the right person at the right time,” said Paul Holloway, the chair of the LRCC board of trustees who said Edelstein brought the requisite amount of professionalism, firmness and humor to the college when it needed it the most.“LRCC

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Relatives of a San Francisco Giants fan who was brutally beaten outside Dodger Stadium two months ago were grateful Monday after police arrested a suspect with a violent criminal record. The parents and two sisters of Bryan Stow made a brief appearance outside San Francisco General Hospital, looking relieved but still shaken by the nearly two-month ordeal of caring for the badly injured father of two and awaiting news that his attackers had been found. Stow, a 42-year-old paramedic, remains in critical but stable condition under heavy sedation to prevent seizures caused by the traumatic brain injury he suffered in the March 31 attack. Los Angeles police raided an East Hollywood apartment building Sunday and arrested Giovanni Ramirez, 31, on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The case was submitted to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office and was under review.

Rescuers race to find survivors of Joplin tornado JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — Rescue crews dug through piles of splintered houses and crushed cars Monday in a search for victims of a half-mile-wide tornado that killed at least 116 people when it blasted much of this Missouri town off the map and slammed straight into its hospital. It was the nation’s deadliest single twister in nearly 60 years and the second major tornado disaster in less than a month. Authorities feared the toll could rise as the full scope of the destruction comes into view: house after house reduced to slabs,
cars crushed like soda cans, shaken residents roaming streets in search of missing family members. And the danger was by no means over. Fires from gas leaks burned across town, and more violent weather loomed, including the threat of hail, high winds and even more tornadoes. At daybreak, the city’s south side emerged from darkness as a barren, smoky wasteland. “I’ve never seen such devastation — just block upon block upon block of homes just completely gone,” said former state legisla-
tor Gary Burton who showed up to help at a volunteer center at Missouri Southern State University. Unlike the multiple storms that killed more than 300 people last month across the South, Joplin was smashed by just one exceptionally powerful tornado. Not since a June 1953 tornado in Flint, Mich., had a single twister been so deadly. That storm also killed 116, according to the National Weather Service. Authorities were prepared to find more see JOPLIN page 8
DUBLIN (AP) — He downed a pint of Guinness with a distant cousin and checked out centuries-old parish records tracing his family to Ireland. From the tiny village of Moneygall to a huge, cheering crowd in Dublin, President Barack Obama opened his four-nation trip through Europe on Monday with an unlikely homecoming far removed from the grinding politics of Washington and the world. “My name is Barack Obama, of the Moneygall Obamas, and I’ve come home to find the apostrophe we lost somewhere along
the way,” a clearly tickled Obama — make that O’Bama — told the overflow throng at Dublin’s College Green with his wife, Michelle, right by him. “We feel very much at home.” Obama’s feel-good indulgence in Ireland came at the start of a four-country, six-day trip that is bound to get into stickier matters as he goes. The only hitch on day one was the threat of a volcanic ash cloud from Iceland that led the president to leave Ireland without even a night’s stay and land in England on Monday night.
His high point in Ireland was a helicopter jaunt to Moneygall, population 350 give or take it, where the president’s great-greatgreat grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, was born and where thousands congregated to welcome the United States’ first black president home. Obama met there with his nearest Irish relative, 26-year-old accountant Henry Healy, and they stopped in at Ollie’s Bar for a Guinness. It was a moment and a pint to savor. To the approval of the pub crowd and people see OBAMA page 11
NEW YORK (AP) — New tests have found that the DNA of former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn matches material found on the shirt of a Manhattan hotel maid who says he attacked her, two people familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press. The two people said that the tests were
returned Monday afternoon. They were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. They said DNA found on the maid’s shirt matched to a sample of DNA from Strauss-Kahn, once a French presidential contender.
Staff at the Sofitel Hotel also told authorities that he had made passes at them, including flirting with a clerk and calling another employee to ask her up to his room, according to a third person with direct knowledge of investigators’ interviews with staff.

29-year-old testifies about sex with Gilford man when she was 15
CONCORD (AP) — The rape case against a man charged with assaulting and impregnating a 15-year-old from his congregation is about force, fear and her faith in a church that shamed her and banished her to Colorado, a New Hampshire prosecutor said Monday. The trial of Ernest Willis of Gilford opened on a dramatic note, when the woman who says he raped her twice in 1997 testified about how “brutal” it was to face hundreds of churchgoers at Concord’s Trinity Baptist Church and apologize for getting pregnant out of wedlock. Tina Anderson, now 29, said she felt “completely humiliated. I felt like my life was over.” She says then-pastor Chuck Phelps
arranged for her to move in with a Baptist family in Colorado and place her infant daughter up for adoption. She said she believed for years what church leaders told her: The rapes were her fault and she must learn to forgive and forget. The Associated Press typically doesn’t identify those who say they are victims of sexual assault, but Anderson has agreed to have her name published and has been the subject of extensive media coverage because of the circumstances of the case. On cross-examination, Anderson lashed out at defense attorney Donna Brown for “badgering her” about discrepancies in her recollection of the sequence of events that summer. “You cannot remember when you
HOOKSETT (AP) — New Hampshire police are working to identify the driver who died after crashing into the Hooksett toll plaza over the weekend. Investigators believe the man is a foreign college student attending a local university on a student visa. New Hampshire State Police say the vehicle was traveling at an extremely high rate of speed when it crashed into the toll plaza from the EZ-Pass lane on Saturday. Witnesses report
that the vehicle was traveling more than 100 miles per hour. There was no attendant in the toll booth at the time. The vehicle, which was borrowed from another college student, was completely destroyed. Authorities say the car is being inspected to rule out mechanical failure as the cause of the crash. Anyone with information about the crash or driver is urged to call New Hampshire State Police Troop B.

are 15 years old and scared out of your mind,” Anderson told Brown. “It doesn’t mean I was lying. I felt like my life was over.” Anderson was the prosecution’s first witness and testified for about two hours. Initially, Phelps reported the allegations to Concord police, but investigators could not locate Anderson and the case was shelved. It wasn’t until 2010 that websites decrying the so-called cult-like nature of the fundamentalist Baptist religion helped lead police to Anderson, now living in Arizona with her husband and three children. Anderson said she felt “complete shock” when she picked up the phone on her husband’s birthday last year and a Concord detective asked whether she wanted to discuss what happened in 1997. Her voice cracked throughout much of her first hour of testimony Monday, and she said the questions dredged up “just a lot of bad memories.” Willis, 51, pleaded guilty last week to one count of having sex with Anderson, who was under the legal age of consent at the time. Willis denies having sex with her on more than one occasion and claims the sex was consensual. Anderson acknowledged Monday she did go to dinner with Willis at a posh restaurant at around the time of
her 16th birthday in 1997, after she said both rapes occurred. “I needed to tell him I was pregnant,” Anderson testified. “I can’t explain some of the things I did. I was trying to be the good Christian I was supposed to be — to forgive and forget and pretend it never happened.” Brown said in her opening statements Monday that Willis will testify. Brown asked jurors to give more weight to what Anderson said in 1997, when Brown says she told her mother and Phelps the two had sex on only one occasion and did not say Willis forced himself on her. Anderson testified she told both her mother and Phelps the sex was not consensual. Prosecutor Wayne Coull asked jurors to ask themselves when she leaves the witness stand whether they believe she is telling the truth. “If the answer is yes,” Coull said, “find him guilty of a secret that’s been kept for far too long.” The last witness Monday was Anderson’s mother, Christine Leaf, who testified that she does not support her daughter, saying, “I only support the truth, not a lie.” Leaf has refused to comment publicly about whether she requested, or see TRIAL page 15

Moyer asks state to ban Belmont Village parking near intersection of Main & Gale BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Speaking strictly as a resident of Belmont, Laconia Police Chief Mike Moyer has intervened in the controversy arisen over parking in and around Gale Street. Last week, Steve Woodbury of Belmont Hardware, which fronts on Main Street, charged that police were selectively enforcing the prohibition against parking on the narrow roadway by ticketing his customers while ignoring other offenders. He placed on sign on the corner of his building warning patrons that they would be ticketed for parking on Gale Street alongside the store. Moyer, who lives on High Street, said yesterday that he regularly drives up and down Gale Street to leave and return home. He agreed with Belmont Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti that the street is too narrow to permit parking, but suggested that parking directly in front of Belmont Hardware on Main Street at its intersection with Gale Street posed an even greater danger. Earlier this month Moyer wrote to the New Hampshire Commissioner of Transportation, George Campbell, since Main Street, which is N.H. Route 140 at that location, is a state-owned roadway. He explained that vehicles parked in marked spaces on Main Street on either side of its intersection with Gale Street completely blocked the sight lines for drivers turning left or right from Gale Street. “A car turning from Gale Street often has to literally pull out inch by inch as their vision it totally obscured
Laconia Police Chief Mike Moyer, who is a resident of Belmont Village, snapped this photo from his vehicle driving on Gale Street toward Main Street. An 18-wheel delivery vehicle is parked on Main Street in front of Belmont Hardware, completely blocking the motorists view to the left.

by vehicles parked on both both the south side and north side of the stop sign,” he wrote.”Something needs to be done before a serious accident occurs at that intersection,” he warned.
Noting that state law (RSA 265:69 prohibits parking “within 30 feet upon the approach to any flashing signal, stop sign, or traffic control signal located at the side of a roadway,” Moyer said that the marked spaces abutting the intersection are “clearly in violation of this statute.” He requested that the marking parking spaces be removed and the pavement be designated “no parking.” Moyer conceded that together with the parking ban on Gale Street, eliminating the spaces on Main Street would pose problems for Belmont Hardware. He acknowledged that customers and vendors routinely park on ** * ** Main Street to load and unload power equipment.

Bruins beat Lightning 3-1 to take 3-2 series lead BOSTON (AP) — Tim Thomas stopped 33 shots after allowing another early goal, and Brad Marchand scored the game-winner to lead Boston to a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night and put the Bruins one win away from the Stanley Cup finals. The victory gave Boston a 3-2 lead in the best-ofseven Eastern Conference finals, with a chance to clinch Wednesday night in Tampa Bay. The Lightning would need to win Game 6 to force a seventh game in Boston on Friday. Nathan Horton scored to tie it in the second period, 17 seconds after returning from the penalty box. Marchand scored with 4:04 left in the period to give Boston a 2-1 lead. Boston managed just 19 shots on Mike Smith as he made his first career playoff start in place of Dwayne Roloson. Tampa Bay finally managed to pull the goalie with 42 seconds left, but Rich Peverley scored an emptynetter with 12.1 seconds left to clinch it. The Lightning left the extra skater on the bench for the ensuing faceoff, but they couldn’t come through with anything more than some shoving after the final whistle. Thomas bounced back after allowing four straight goals in Game 4 and may have saved the season when he stopped Steve Downie with about 11 minutes left, reaching out to put his stick in front of the
open net and protect a 2-1 lead. The crowd cheered each time it was shown from a different angle on the scoreboard. Two nights after Tampa Bay rallied with five straight goals to overcome a 3-0 deficit and win Game 4, Boston shrugged off Simon Gagne’s goal just 69 seconds in and staged a comeback of its own. Gagne, who scored the winner in Game 4, converted a 2-on-1 with Steve Stamkos to beat defenseman Johnny Boychuk and put the puck past Thomas. Horton tied it on a one-timer from Milan Lucic 4:24 into the second period — just Boston’s seventh shot. Marchand also took a penalty in the second, then came back to score. After Zdeno Chara kept the puck in the zone, Patrice Bergeron went to the faceoff circle to retrieve it, then passed it over to Marchand for an easy chip-in past Smith. Smith started 20 games in the regular season and came on in relief of Dwayne Roloson twice in the series, shutting Boston out for the final 18:49 of Game 2 and then coming back in Game 4 with 2:02 left in the first period after Boston took a 3-0 lead. The Lightning scored five consecutive goals, and Smith shut out the Bruins for the final 42:02 to earn a 5-3 victory. Smith’s shutout streak lasted another 24:24 before Horton’s goal tied it 1-1 in the second — a total of 85:15.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Asdrubal Cabrera’s twoout RBI double in the eighth inning — the latest big hit delivered by Cleveland’s shortstop — rallied the Indians to a 3-2 win on Monday night over the Boston Red Sox, who also lost second baseman Dustin Pedroia with a leg injury. Cabrera, who went 5 for 5 with two homers and five RBIs on Sunday, drove his double off reliever Daniel Bard (1-4) to the wall in left field, scoring Michael Brantley and helping the Indians win their fourth straight and improve to 19-4 at home. Cabrera also homered in the fourth, his third homer in two days. Joe Smith (2-1) got one out in the eighth, and closer Chris Perez got Carl Crawford to bounce into a game-ending double play for his 13th save. Trailing 2-1 and being held in check by Boston starter Clay Buchholz, the Indians came up with some more lateinning magic. They tied it when Jack Hannahan singled, pinch-runner Adam Everett moved up on a groundout
and scored on Brantley’s two-out RBI single. The Indians then took the lead on Cabrera’s double, yet another dramatic moment for the Indians at home. The game started after a 61-minute rain delay. Cleveland became the majors’ first team to reach 30 wins, and the Indians gave a national TV audience a firsthand glimpse of what they’ve been doing all season. Manager Manny Acta wasn’t around to see it after getting tossed in the eighth. The loss could be doubly costly for the Red Sox. Pedroia, the scrappy All-Star second baseman, injured his left leg when he fell over second base while trying to go to third in the eighth inning. Pedroia was rounding second on Adrian Gonzalez’s single to right, when he got his feet tangled up after hitting the bag. He fell awkwardly but was able to scramble on his belly back to the base safely. Pedroia laid with his face in the dirt as a team trainer and manager Terry Francona jogged out to check on the former AL MVP.

‘Bibi’ humiliates Obama Not since Nikita Khrushchev berated Dwight Eisenhower over Gary Powers’ U-2 spy flight over Russia only weeks earlier has an American president been subjected to a dressing down like the one Barack Obama received from Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday. With this crucial difference. Khrushchev ranted behind closed doors, and when Ike refused to apologize, blew up the Paris summit hosted by President de Gaulle. Obama, however, was lectured like some schoolboy in the Oval Office in front of the national press and a worldwide TV audience. And two days later, he trooped over to the Israeli lobby AIPAC to walk back what he had said that had so infuriated Netanyahu. “Bibi” then purred that he was “pleased” with the clarification. Diplomatic oil is now being poured over the troubled waters, but this humiliation will not be forgotten. What did Obama do to draw this public rebuke? In his Thursday speech on the Arab Spring and Middle East peace, Obama declared: “We believe the borders of Israel should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states. ... Israel must be able to defend itself — by itself — against any threat.” Ignoring Obama’s call for “mutually agreed swaps” of land to guarantee secure and defensible borders for Israel, Netanyahu, warning the president against a peace “based on illusions,” acted as though Obama had called for an Israel withdrawal to the armistice line of 1967. This was absurd. All Obama was saying was what three Israeli prime ministers — Yitzhak Rabin, Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert — have all recognized. To get Palestinian and international recognition for a united Jerusalem and Israel’s annexation of the settlements around the city, Israel will have to trade land for land. Obama was not saying the 1967 borders were to be the end of negotiations but the starting point. Indeed, where else would one begin land negotiations if not from the last recognized map? Undeniably, Netanyahu won the smack-down. The president was humiliated in the Oval Office, and in his trip to AIPAC’s woodshed he spoke of the future peace negotiations ending just as Israelis desire and demand. Nor is this the first time Obama has been rolled by the Israeli prime minister. Obama came into office demanding an end to all new or expanded settlements on the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, and subsequently backed down from each and every demand. Fed up, his Mideast peace negotiator George Mitchell has quit. Politically, too, the president has
been hurt. To the world, and not just the Arabs, he appears weak. In Israel, Netanyahu is seen as having stood up for Israel’s vital interests and forced an American president to back down. His rightwing coalition is cheering him on. Indeed, the issue is not whether Obama has been hurt, but why Bibi, raised in the U.S.A., who knows American politics better than any previous Israeli prime minister, did it. Why wound Obama like that? Why would the leader of a nation of 7-million that is dependent on U.S. arms, foreign aid and diplomatic support choose to humiliate a president who could be sitting in that office until 2017? The one explanation that makes sense is that Netanyahu sees Obama as more sympathetic to the Palestinians and less so to Israel than any president since Jimmy Carter, and he, Netanyahu, would like to see Obama replaced by someone more like the born-again proIsrael Christian George W. Bush. And indeed, the Republicans and the right, Mitt Romney in the lead, accusing Obama of “throwing Israel under the bus,” seized on the issue and, almost universally, have taken Netanyahu’s side. This could be a serious problem for the president and his party in 2012. For, consider: In 2008, Obama won the African-American vote 95 to 4, or 16 to 1. He won the Jewish vote 78 to 21, by 57 points, a historic landslide. These are arguably the two most reliable of Democratic voting blocs. And while the Jewish vote may be only one-seventh of the black vote, it has proven decisive in the crucial state of Florida. Moreover, Jewish contributions, by some estimates, may make up half of all the contributions to the Democratic Party. If, after hearing an Israeli prime minister berate Obama for ignorance or indifference to the cold realities the Jewish state faces, Jewish folks decide Obama is bad for Israel and close their checkbooks, the impact in a tight election could be critical. On the other hand, for AfricanAmericans to see the first black president treated like some truant third-grader by a prime minister of Israel whose nation is deeply dependent on this country has to grate. In the short run, Bibi won the confrontation, hands down. Like no other leader before him, he humiliated a U.S. president in front of the world, forced him to revise his remarks of four days previous, then graciously accepted the revision. But a second-term Obama is unlikely to forget what was done to him. (Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)
LETTERS Ayotte wants us to sacrifice so big oil can enjoy tax breaks To the editor, Do you believe that ordinary working Americans will be better off if oil companies receive 21 billion dollars in government subsidies over the next 10 years? Remarkably, that’s what our Senator, Kelly Ayotte, and 47 other senators are asking you to swallow when they blocked a Democratic measure to keep legislation from coming to the floor of the Senate that would deny subsidies for oil companies. Although the 52-48 vote broke down mostly along party lines, Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine split with the rest of the Republicans to support the effort to repeal oil subsidies. Democratic Senators. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Mark Begich (D-Alaska), voted against the bill. How is it possible that the same senators who are preaching smaller government, reduced spending, deficit reduction, and “shared sacrifice” have no qualms about continuing huge subsidies for oil companies? It is unimaginable hypocrisy that these senators can support this unnecessary spending while asking ordinary working Americans to settle for reduced Medicare and Social Security benefits; as well as the elimination, or reduction of many other programs that help poor and vulnerable people. The answer may be that big oil has donated $238.7-million dollars to candidates and parties since the 1990 election cycle, 75-percent of which has gone to Republicans.
As usual, Republicans will attempt to gain the support of middle class Americans by arguing that they are better off when big oil companies are helped to make billions of dollars in profits each month. They will be told that this wealth will “trickle down” to them by keeping gas prices lower, creating jobs, and increasing salaries and benefits. Do you really believe this? Have you had enough of the demagoguery, hypocrisy, and sound bites that attempt to frighten you about the deficit, big government, and the insolvency of Social Security and Medicare? The motive for this demagoguery is clearly to try to get you to accept economic sacrifices so that big oil corporations like ExxonMobil can continue to make huge profits at your expense. Make no mistake; what this is all about is who gets the benefits, and who is asked to sacrifice. Are you prepared to make sacrifices so that big oil companies can receive billions of dollars in government subsidies? It is important to stay focused on how our legislators vote on issues that reveal their true loyalty. Let’s demand “sharing” when we’re asked to make “shared sacrifice.” We must not allow politicians to deceive us about who benefits from their actions, and who is really being asked to pay. Contact Senator Ayotte and let her know how you feel about her support for 21 billion dollars in subsidies for oil companies. Ken Greenbaum Moultonborough
Thanks to 8 great eateries for their support of Go Lunch! To the editor, Laconia’s Got Lunch! initiative wants to thank the entire community for it’s support last week during “Eat out to support Got Lunch!” Countless citizens frequented eight different area restaurants and dined outside the home to help us raise money to feed our hungry kids during the summer school vacation. As a committee we would like to raise a PB&J toast to the following individuals and establishments that were critical to the success of our effort; Dan Fraser & Jay Bolduc at T-BONES/CJ’s and Jason at the North
Patrick’s and Kevin at the Village Bakery; The staff at Hart’s Turkey Farm and the entire family at Hector’s; Ray and Leslie from Tavern-27 and Chris and staff at Fratello’s. We would also like to thank Ed for his unwavering support. What a community can do to help those who need that help is an amazing spectacle. We of Got Lunch! sincerely thank each of you. To date we have 188 Laconia children registered. Because of you, we are going to feed them this summer. John Walker Laconia

LETTERS Stop complaining about Sen. Forsythe; you got what you voted for
Passage of Obamacare was major step in dismantling America
To the editor, There have been many letters to the editor recently regarding boat speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee and legislation to increase the speed limit in the larger part of the lake. Most of the letters are critical of legislation increasing the daytime speed limit from 45-mph to 55-mph. I can appreciate the concern of those who like to enjoy the lake without the worry if they will encounter a high-speed boat bearing down on them. I live in Laconia and during my youth did enjoy boating with friends on Winnipesaukee. At that time, we did not have a speed limit, although there was always that possibility of a speedboat going a little faster than most. However, in those instances the necessity to avoid one another was remote. Speed aspirations and political aspirations as it relates to Lake Winnipesaukee in this instance are similar. As I see it, there is a group of boaters who
To the editor, Hey, have you heard about the invasion of the government body, property and liberty snatchers? Like mission creep in Middle Eastern wars or the frog slowly boiling to death in the pot of water, government overreach continues to take control over our bodies and our very life. Surely you’ve heard the stories about salt restriction, school lunch police, smoking bans everywhere except where no life exists, removing the toys in Happy Meals, shower head restrictions, low flow toilet mandates, expensive light bulbs that aren’t very bright and on and on. When you read on you will see this is just the tip of the iceberg, the top of the slippery slope as our “entitled government” continues to force it’s citizens to do what is good for them. TSA agents are now empowered to shower us with very questionable levels of radiation or grope our private parts to keep us safe while flying the friendly skies. Allahu Akbar shouting Muslims are still finding their way onto flights while recently an agent went undercover and easily smuggled a gun onto the plane. Yet our government agents have recently sexually molested an infant, a six year old girl and a former beauty queen, all of Caucasian descent. Please, will someone call the caretaker of common sense? David Gordon of the Mises Institute states, “The Constitution does not incorporate Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, granting the president the power to suspend constitutional guarantees of rights”.The same sort of powers British kings possessed and our founding fathers sought to limit, have been brazenly broadened, first by President Bush and now by President Obama with warrantless wiretapping by the National Security Agency. Last week, the Indiana Supreme Court decided that there is absolutely no reason for a private citizen to prevent a police officer from invading a citizen’s home without a warrant, apparently because it is safer since this will avoid any conflict. I am not making this up. The Private Property Rights Protection Act is under consideration now because six years ago the U.S. Supreme Court took a sledgehammer to the property rights protection in the fifth amendment. In Kelo v. City of New London, the court held that the government can seize property from one private citizen and give it to another private citizen for economic development rather than for “public use”. Have you heard about the overworked and ever vigilant FDA that has been working undercover for a year to rid us of a ghastly Amish menace. The 5 a.m. raid of an Amish farmers’ home was due to the selling of fresh, unpasteurized milk across state lines. This would be the very same FDA that treats it’s citizens like guinea pigs by approving powerful drugs that cause terrible side effects and death. Who then are painfully slow in taking them off the market as evidenced by the “Vioxx scandal”. Baylen Linnekin, executive director for “Keep Food Legal” states that, “this is a part of a larger and expanding battle over the right of people to grow, raise, buy, sell, cook and eat foods of their choosing”. The devil you say.
enjoy speed in their high performance boats and have aspirations of limitless speed limits on the lake by influencing politicians with contributions to make it happen. Then there is a senator of District 4 — which includes part of Winnipesaukee — who, when campaigning last year, had aspirations of being a state senator and was willing to accept contributions from those who wanted no speed limit. It has been reported that Senator Forsythe did in fact accept those contributions. As Ron Sayles of Alton commented last month in the paper, all of us in Senate District 4 including those of you who complain about Sen. Forsythe being influenced by the high-speed boaters had a chance to elect an honest and trusted individual in the Republican primary. George Hurt of Gilford was that individual. So stop complaining! You got what you voted for. Scott Kipreotis Laconia
Tragedy of 9/11 should not be trivialized by off-the-wall hypotheses To the editor, It appears that Derek Case has his mind made up about the felling of the World Trade Center towers, and he feels compelled to demean Steve Earle because he doesn’t agree with Case’s conclusions. One significant fact seems to have eluded Mr. Case, and that is the sheer volume of weight of the top 15 floors. When the mass of those floors plummeted down onto the floor below they collapsed that floor and, as each succeeding floor was dislodged, it added its weight to that of the floors above. The sheer volume of the dropping weight overwhelmed each succeeding floor. That ever-increasing mass continued to fall on the floors below, for, each of ninety-five straight floors. Mr. Case also trivialized those things that may have caused Tower 7 to fall. Perhaps if had been there, Mr. Case would have seen that the falling debris, and the volumes of fuel, were anything but trivial.
Listening to all these detective shows, the guys in the white hats are always looking for “motive, means, and opportunity”. Perhaps Mr. Case can tell us what the motive was, who was the one or ones who were motivated, how did they acquire the means by which to do what he suspects they did, and how did they come by the opportunity? You know, things like how did they manage to get all those non-Americans to hi-jack those planes, and do it on a coordinated basis? And if all the explosives were in place and unobserved, what was the need for the hi-jacking? Etc, etc, etc. I would recommend the book “Above Hallowed Ground” for a first hand look from above on that fateful day, and from below on the days immediately following. The tragedy should not be trivialized by off-the-wall hypothesis. Bob Meade Laconia
Reps have always listened to constituents on boat speed issue To the editor, To Honorable Members of the N.H. House Jim.Pilliod, Alida Millham, Donald Flanders, Bill Tobin, Elaine Swinford, Peter Bolster, Norman Tregenza, Jim Belanger, Dick Hinch and Lisa Scontsas: We deeply appreciate your testimony before the House, Wednesday May 18, that obviously convinced many other Representatives to vote “Inexpedient to Legislate” on Senate Bill 27. Many of you have been in favor of safe and sane speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee from the start, some for some time and some for this latest go-around by hearing testimony in committee and on the House floor that was not, by any stretch of the
imagination, lies or fantasies. With the vote of 276 Representatives in favor of “ITL” and 75 opposed the facts presented just made a lot of common sense. We thank all who could see the fallacy of the opposition’s arguments and voted accordingly. The six years spent in Concord has proven that the representatives of the New Hampshire House have always listened to their constituents and voted for the speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee by overwhelming, bipartisan majority. We, again, thank you and remain deeply in your debt. Bill &Paula Bertholdt Gilford
Thanks to Meredith postal workers for food drive to benefit pantry To the editor, The Meredith Emergency Food Pantry would like to thank the Meredith Post Office for there participation in the U.S. Postal help feed the hungry food drive.Thank you to all the delivery drivers, postal workers and the people who took the time to put out donations
help us to help others in need. The pantry is at 147 Main Street in Meredith. It is open on Tues., Wed. Thu. from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Donations may be brought in Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Thank you to every one for your generosity!
A major step in the dismantling of America occurred with the passage of “Obamacare”, largely unread and unscrutinized. A growing number of states are fighting the legality of this massive transfer of decision making from doctors and patients to an out of control government. To quote Thomas Sowell, “With politicians now having not only access to our most confidential records and having the power of granting or withholding medical care needed to sustain ourselves or our loved ones, how many people will be bold enough to criticize our public servants, who will in fact have become our public masters”. Well over a thousand companies have received exemptions from this medical/administrative monstrosity including dozens of unions and over 30 in Nancy Pelosi’s district. Seems the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is too expensive for all these folks. Ah yes, oxymorons continue to abound in the land of the overbearing Democrats. If this doesn’t chill you to your core, then your indoctrination into “nanny state entitlement” is probably irreversible. Gene Danforth has astutely pointed out facts about how anti-American, Marxist teachings have infiltrated our public schools. Now, Newsmax has reported that “New York state education officials devised a school exam containing passages extolling positive accomplishments of Islam while casting a negative light on aspects of “Christian history”. In Tuscon, Arizona, education officials are reviewing the Mexican/American studies curriculum. Loretta Hunnicutt, a liberal Democrat, is challenging this course of study as co-founder of TU4SD (Tucsons United for Sound Districts) because she believes it is based on extreme anti-American, Communist propaganda which is fomenting resentment towards our country. Loretta believes this is pure politics which is distracting students and teachers from the real issues and the core values and principles of this country. For her stance, she has been called awful, disgraceful names including the ubiquitous “racism” charge. Still not frightened about the direction this country is headed? Well then, I suggest you run, don’t walk to that caretaker of common sense and get some real soon. Perhaps those of us who still think this is largely a country of capitalism should check out “Cultural Marxism: The Corruption of America”. The rationale for James Jaeger’s new film is the belief that a militant secularism has arisen in this country. Patrick Buchanan states, “It has always had a hold on the intellectual and academic elites, but in the 1960s it captured the young in the universities and the colleges”. He goes on to state, “The truth is that while cultural Marxism, which I think has prevailed pretty much in the United States . . . is now the dominant culture”. So, it seems, that this ideological culture creep has turned capitalists, Christians and conservatives into the counterculture. Geez, please tell me it is not too late to jump out of the progressive pot of political correctness and liberty suffocating see next page

JOPLIN from page 2 bodies in the rubble throughout this gritty, blue-collar town of 50,000 people about 160 miles south of Kansas City. Gov. Jay Nixon told The Associated Press he did not want to guess how high the death toll would eventually climb. But he said: “Clearly, it’s on its way up.” Seventeen people were pulled alive from the rubble. An unknown number of people were hurt. While many residents had up to 17 minutes of warning, rain and hail may have drowned out the sirens. Larry Bruffy said he heard the first warning but looked out from his garage and saw nothing. “Five minutes later, the second warning went off,” he said. “By the time we tried to get under the house, it
already went over us.” As rescuers toiled in the debris, a strong thunderstorm lashed the crippled city. Rescue crews had to move gingerly around downed power lines and jagged chunks of debris as they hunted for victims and hoped for survivors. Fires, gas fumes and unstable buildings posed constant threats. Teams of searchers fanned out in waves across several square miles. The groups went door to door, making quick checks of property that in many places had been stripped to their foundations or had walls collapse. National Weather Service Director Jack Hayes said the storm was given a preliminary label as an EF4 — the second-highest rating assigned to twisters based on the damage they cause.
Hayes said the storm had winds of 190 to 198 mph. At times, it was three-quarters of a mile wide. Some of the most startling damage was at St. John’s Regional Medical Center, where staff had only moments to hustle their patients into the hallway. Six people died there, five of them patients, plus one visitor. The storm blew out hundreds of windows and caused damage so extensive that doctors had to abandon the hospital soon after the twister passed. A crumpled helicopter lay on its side in the parking lot near a single twisted mass of metal that used to be cars. Dr. Jim Riscoe said some members of his emergency room staff showed up after the tornado with injuries of their own, but they worked through the night anyway. “I spent most of my life at that hospital,” Roscoe said at a triage center at Joplin’s Memorial Hall entertainment venue. “It’s awful. I had two pregnant nurses who dove under gurneys ... It’s a testimony to the human spirit.” Once the center of a thriving mining industry, Joplin flourished though World War II because of its rich lead and zinc mines. It also gained fame as a stop along Route 66, the storied highway stretching from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif., before freeways diminished the city’s importance. The community, named for the founder of the area’s first Methodist congregation, is now a transportation crossroads and manufacturing hub. It’s also the hometown of poet Langston Hughes and “Gunsmoke” actor Dennis Weaver. from preceding page Marxist dogma. Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same”. The battle is on gang and I still believe it is early in the game. But does anyone disagree that it is going to get much worse before it gets better and it will only get better if we are up for the fight of our lives. We absolutely must defend and save this wonderful Republic from the ravages of progressivism, socialism and Marxism from too many folks not named Jane Fonda who think they know better though history has repeatedly shown their way to be wrong. Whoever has the authority to allow the right to lease the caretaker of common sense to the left, please do so immediately. Russ Wiles

LETTERS We’ll be ready to roll school choice plan out next session To the editor, This was a pretty good week. We came within an eyelash of voting on legislation to establish a Tax Credit Plan for School Choice. The only sad part was that we just plain ran out of time to have it voted on this session. Everyone worked hard to make it happen, but in the end there wasn’t sufficient time to have it heard in the multiple committees required by the House rules. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we worked so hard to make it happen, that we have the legislation “ready to go” and can look forward to fast-tracking the finished product next fall. Here is how it works: Businesses will be able to decide whether to donate what they owe in business profits tax (BPT) to a non-profit scholarship organization (SO) or pay their taxes to the state as they have been. If they donate they get a tax credit and the SO has money to fund scholarships for parents and students who choose to leave the public schools for any other educational option. When the student leaves the public school, the adequacy aid payment the state usually makes for that child will not be made, saving the state that money. The average size of the scholarships would be slightly less than the adequacy aid. So the state loses income from business taxes on the one hand but doesn’t have to pay a slightly greater amount in adequacy aid for that child on the other hand. While this program should save the state money, the primary purpose is to give parents an option to pursue an education for their child outside the public school system that they might not otherwise have. The question parents ask first when told of this new choice plan is: How
much will we get? The short answer is most likely between $ 3,700 and $4,500, but some will qualify for more, and some for less, depending on things like income resources and whether or not your child currently qualifies as a special needs child, or free and reduced lunch, etc. The amount of individual scholarships is the SO’s responsibility, with an overall cap to ensure a modest cost savings. Is it enough to fully fund an education elsewhere? It depends. Obviously, if you are targeting one of the elite private schools in the area you would have to supplement that scholarship, but if you plan to utilize some of the better religious schools in the area, it might prove sufficient. The parents would have the choice on where they send their child to school under this voluntary scholarship program. If the parent believes his/ her child is best served in the public school he/she currently attends, then they should stay. Whatever school you believe fits your child best, that’s where you place the money. It’s parental choice and the money follows the child. Home-schoolers will also be able to receive an amount to cover “instructional materials.” The idea, designed based upon successful programs of this type around the country, fits well with the ideals of New Hampshire parents. Up until now the only school choice parents had was to pay for schooling completely out of pocket or move to another town. Both of these choices favored the wealthiest taxpayers in the state. Now all taxpayers will have more choice regarding their children’s education, regardless of income. Rep. Gregory Hill Northfield Senator Jim Forsythe Strafford
Right to Work is key to bring manufacturing jobs back to N.H. To the editor, The New Hampshire Center for Public Policy wrote, “Manufacturing supports all public services”. This statement is available on the Internet, along with supporting information. Over the past several years, Laconia lost over 1,000 manufacturing jobs when they lost the Malleable Iron plant, the Needle Plant, the Allen Rogers wood-working plant and others, which in turn eliminated many of the jobs that supported public services in Laconia. In the past 10 years, Belknap County lost just over 2000 manufacturing jobs or almost half of the over 4,000 manufacturing jobs in Belknap County. Those losses eliminated much of the tax base that supported the public services in Belknap County At the state level, in 1998 there were about 103,000 manufacturing jobs in the State, Last year there were only about 65,000 manufacturing jobs in New Hampshire, thereby eliminating almost half of the jobs that sup-
port public services in the state. Only by recovering jobs in manufacturing will public services be again be able to be fully funded. The State Legislature is doing all they can to bring manufacturing jobs, hopefully about 50,000 of them, back to New Hampshire. To the Legislature, approving the over-ride of the governor’s veto of the “Right to Work” Law is the best way to attract manufacturing jobs back to New Hampshire. If you are a union member, or supporter, ask such members of the union leadership who you may be acquainted with, to work for and to succeed in getting manufacturing jobs returned to New Hampshire because only then will New Hampshire again have funds for, and be able to fully fund public services. I ask, because all public services are funded primarily by, and almost only, by jobs in manufacturing. Rep. Robert Kingsbury Laconia NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE LAW 561-FN 415: 18-U now requires NH insurances to pay up to $3,000.00 for hearing aids!

I ask you to think about what you are doing with God’s temple To the editor, All of us have been deeply saddened by the news of the young boy who was brought here to New England to be killed by his mother, who in my opinion suffers from mental illness and has lost touch with reality. However each of us needs to do some soul searching and look around our communities and see how we are all losing touch with the human spirit. We abort babies by the millions. We here in America have the highest divorce rate in the world. We throw out marriage like we would an old computer, that doesn’t have the speed that it once had. We now want fast and quick disposal of human life so we are setting up crematories in local neighborhoods where one can sit and enjoy a hamburger, fries and a coke while mom and pops remains are being cooked just feet away from our meal. We expect small children in neighborhoods to understand why we are doing
what we are doing to their grandparents. We burn our trash on one end of town and on the other end of town we cremate bodies endlessly,while expecting neighborhoods to enjoy the putrid smell of decaying bodies cooking and the sound of the crematory ovens grinding away their sound into the night time sky. And yet we expect the weak and the frail to understand all of this and to always do what is expected of them even though we have become totally out of touch with the value of human life. If we are Christian we are taught that the human body is the temple of God, I ask you what are you doing with God’s temple. He never met for us to misuse it the way that we are. Somethings in life are meant to be sacred and to be treated with reverance. We have become a nation of lost souls. Carolyn Pillsbury Meredith
2 women waive rights to a probable cause hearing in heroin death case BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — Karen Mekkelsen and Amanda Kelly, the two women facing charges arising from the alleged sale of heroin to a single mother who subsequently died of an overdose, yesterday appeared briefly in Laconia District Court to waive probable cause hearings. The hearing for Stephen Marando, a third defendant in the same case, was continued pending appointment of legal counsel. The cases against Mekkelsen, 26, of 934 North Main Street, Apartment 13, Laconia , who is charged with selling the drug that resulted in the death of another, and Kelly 30, of 301A Court Street , Laconia charged with conspiracy in the drug deal, were bound over to the Belknap County Superior Court. Both face maximum sentences
of life in prison if convicted. Mekkelsen is being held in the New Hampshire Women’s Prison in Goffstown in lieu of $500,000 cash bail while Kelly is free on $20,000 cash bail on condition that she report to the Laconia Police Department daily and not possess weapons, drink alcohol or use drugs. Marando, 50, of 241 Mechanic Street, Unit 3, Laconia, who like Mekkelsen is charged with selling the drug that resulted in the death of another, is being held in the Belknap County Jail in lieu of $250,000 cash bail. He too faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment if convicted. Ashley Denty, 23, was found dead in her apartment at 180 Union Avenue on April 1 when other residents of the building heard the cries of her toddler from behind the locked door and told him how to open it.
GILFORD — A Gilmanton man was charged with driving while intoxicated after crashing his vehicle on Sleeper Hill Road early on Saturday morning. According to police reports, Thomas Munsey, 31 of Gilmanton, was driving his Chevy pickup truck northbound on Sleeper Hill Road when it slid sideways across the intersection of Stark Street, colliding with and breaking a
telephone pole. The accident occurred at about 1:25 a.m. Munsey, who was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment of lacerations to his face, arms and hands, was arrested at the hospital. Speed and alcohol are reported by police to be factors in the crash. Many residents were without power for several hours as the damaged pole was replaced.

Man swims out of Paugus Bay after falling out of boat LACONIA — A local man suffered several cuts to his arm, shoulder and back from his boat’s propeller after apparently falling out of the vessel on Paugus Bay on Sunday evening. He was then able to swim to safety. Marine Patrol reports receiving a report of a person in the water of Paugus Bay at around 5:50 p.m. on Sunday. Upon arrival, officers
observed an unoccupied boat traveling in a circle. The owner of the boat, Benjamin Pascucci, 49, of Weirs Boulevard, had been able to swim to shore, where he was treated for his injuries by Laconia emergency medical personnel, who then transported him to Lakes Region General Hospital. Officers were able to bring Pascucci’s boat to a stop.
OBAMA from page 2 all across Ireland watching on television, Obama downed the full pint in four slurps and came away with a foam mustache. “The president actually killed his pint! He gets my vote,” said Christy O’Sullivan, an Irish government clerical worker taking a long lunch break to watch live TV footage of Obama’s visit. “He’s the first president I’ve actually seen drink the black stuff like he’s not ashamed of something.” An Irish link is good news for any American politician trying to connect with voters, and particularly for one who’s been dogged by questions about whether he was even born in the United States. By some estimates, 35-40 million Americans trace their ancestry to Ireland. While Ireland, population 4.5 million, is a relatively small player on the world stage, this nation roughly the size of West Virginia has been a popular stopping point for modern American presidents ever since John F. Kennedy came in 1963. For Obama, it was a day reminiscent of the campaign season when candi-
date Obama was greeted by adoring crowds and the president milked it for all it was worth. He spoke enthusiastically Monday of “the bonds of affection” between the United States and Ireland. “There’s always been a little green behind the red, white and blue,” he said to cheers in Dublin. It wasn’t until the 2008 presidential campaign that Obama discovered he had Irish roots, when a priest of the local Anglican church, Canon Stephen Neill, located the family’s baptismal records and established the connection. Falmouth Kearney, who immigrated to the United States in 1850 at the age of 19, is a great-grandfather of Obama on his Kansas-born mother’s side. His father was born in Kenya. In Moneygall, 14-year-old Grainne Ryan scrawled “Obama” and drew a shamrock on her cheeks with eyeliner. Thirty-one-year-old Tara Morris pronounced herself “star-struck,” a sentiment that appeared to be shared by many in a country that could use a boost as it weathers a steep economic downturn after its boom years as the Celtic Tiger.

The victim’s husband used gunshots to scare the animal off. The section of fence the bear crashed through is visible in this image. At right is “Tassi”, the 30-pound Shetland sheep dog that went after the full-grown black bear that had shoved her owner to the ground.

BEAR from page one Woodridge Road, overlooking Waukewan Golf Course, for 13 years. “There have been bears here since we moved in – but never aggressive ones,” he said. “If we see one, we just holler at them and they leave.” Lately, though, one adult bear had showed signs that it was becoming more comfortable around people, moseying into their backyard when the couple was on their poolside deck, showing no shyness until the Berghorns yelled at it. Then, on Sunday night, the bear became even bolder. The ordeal began when the Berghorns’ four year-old Shetland sheep dog, “Tassi,” went out the doggie door onto the porch and began barking and running frantically. Jacqueline, to appease the dog, walked onto the porch at about 9:30 p.m. to see what “Tassi” was carrying on about. She walked about 10 feet into the night air until she came, as Gerard described, “eye-to-eye” with a bear that was on their porch, hiding behind a large planter, perhaps drawn to the deck by the scent of the Berghorns’ freshlyused grill. “That’s when all hell broke loose,” Gerard said. Seeing the animal, estimated to weigh between 150 and 200 pounds, Jacqueline turned to run back into the house. The bear pursued her, shoving her from the back, sending Jacqueline tumbling and sliding into the side of the house and the sill of a sliding glass door.
“Tassi,” who weighs in at about 30 pounds, wasn’t impressed by the bear’s size and continued to bark, growl and bite at the assailant’s backside, distracting the animal from Jacqueline and annoying the bear enough that it ran, crashing through a section of fence around the deck and falling about eight feet to the ground on the house’s side yard. By this time, Gerard had heard the commotion and came out onto the deck, where he saw the bear attempting to climb back onto the deck. He returned into the home and came out onto the porch with his .357 magnum pistol. The bear had retreated into a shadow but Gerard knew it was nearby. “I could hear him growling and snorting but I couldn’t see him, so I put two rounds into the ground to scare him off.” It worked, he listened as the animal retreated through the woods. Jacqueline suffered a bruised shoulder, a bumped head and a large welt on her hand, all injuries associated with her fall and crash into the house. Paramedics transported her to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment. She was home by Monday morning. Gerard said local and state police, using night-vision goggles and high-powered rifles, combed the nearby woods in search of the animal but were unsuccessful. Brad Morse, a Fish & Game conservation officer, said a trap would be set at the property and the bear see next page

A little different twist to Belmont Memorial Day activities this year BELMONT — In keeping with tradition, Charles Kilborn Post #58 of the American Legion will be hosting Memorial Day activities on Monday, May 30, starting at 1 p.m. with a march from the Middle School to the Veterans Monument across from the St. Joseph Catholic Church. This year Post #49 from Tilton will be the Rifle Squad. They’ll be joined in the parade by Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Brownies, and by representatives of the Police and Fire Departments. Legion Post #58 Commander Bob Sevens reports there will be a little different procedure used this year. “We feel as it is always very hot at that time of day, instead of having a speaker that causes many adults as well as children to dance back and forth we will have seven young men from Belmont High School who will be singing ‘America the Beautiful’ and ‘God Bless America’. I have heard
them and they are good!” Stevens said. Also at the Monument ceremony, there will be a special bell ringing for 18 of the men who have passed away in the past 20 years. Directly after the monument activities there will be a special dedication of a granite Bench in memory of Fred Livingston, past assistant chaplin of Post #58. Stevens said the Post has received money from the N.H. State Polce Benevolent Association, Livingston’s family members and friends and it was only fitting to give it back to the community in this way. Due to the fact we received more money from the N.H. State Police benevolient assoc ,family members and friends to the Legion it would be only fitting to give it back to the community Finally, the parade will proceed to Mill Street for the Boy Scouts annual flag raising.
GILFORD — The town will again be observing the Memorial Day holiday with a parade and commemoration honoring all United States veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. The observance will be held Monday, May 30, with the parade organizing at the Community Church parking lot at 9:15 a.m. The parade will begin at 9:30 a.m. and proceed along Potter Hill Road for observances at the World War I & II Veterans Memorial and then onto Belknap Mountain Road for observances at Pine Grove Cemetery. The town invites all attendees to gather at the Veterans Memorial and follow the parade to the Pine Grove Cemetery. The Gilford Memorial Day Committee invites all veterans to participate in the parade by gathering at the Commu-
nity Church parking lot and marching as a group. Veteran volunteers will be invited to carry a large United States flag in the parade. A vehicle will be supplied for disabled veterans to participate and ride along the parade route. Disabled veterans requiring rides are urged to contact Sandy Bailey at Town Hall at 527-4700 to make known their need. Additionally, recent federal laws allow all veterans to wear their earned military medals on civilian clothes and to render a hand salute without cover or hat. In addition to veterans, the Gold Star and Blue Star Mothers organization has been contacted to have their respective groups march together. Any Gold or Blue Star Mothers are invited to gather at the assembly point and be with their group during the observances.
from preceding page would be euthanized when caught. Morse said Sunday night’s encounter was “very unusual, bears are usually shy.” However, this bear had been regularly fed by previous residents of the neighborhood and had become accustomed to being around humans and eating their food. Now that those residents have moved out, the bear was looking for a new source of easy meals, Morse suspected, which had led to increasingly “brazen” behavior. The Berghorns weren’t the only family menaced by the bear. Last week, Morse said, a bear suspected to be the same one as visited the Berghorns attacked a dog, causing considerable damage. In another nearby incident, which also occurred on Sunday night, a bear broke into a chicken coop, damaging the structure and leading to the disappearance of
six birds. Because of these incidents, all within a mile of the Berghorns, Morse said the bear will be destroyed rather than simply relocated. Meredith and Center Harbor, said Morse, seem to have a “healthy” bear population. Based on anecdotal reports, he feels the local bear population has been increasing over recent years. With that in mind, he encouraged residents to be mindful with their properties to avoid close contact with the wild animals. “Bears come in because they’re drawn in,” Morse said. Most bear trespassings are instigated by either bird feeders – which a bear can smell from a mile away, he said – or household garbage that is stored outside. Fish & Game recommends that residents take down bird feeders after April 1 and keep garbage containers secured and covered with a lid.

LIPMAN from page one executive assistant to the city manager, drafted a letter to the 18 Republican representatives from Belknap County declaring that “we strongly disagree with Governor Lynch’s veto of this bill and believe making New Hampshire a “right to work” state is important to the future of our state’s business growth.” The letter cites an article in the Wall Street Journal claiming that output, payrolls and income have grown fastest in “right to work” states. The are currently 22 “right to work” states, all in the south, midwest and mountain west. Expressing little interest in either individual rights or economic growth, Lipman said that the council should support the bill to send a message to municipal employees. “We are on an unsustainable path,” he said, referring to the escalating cost of wages and benefits, especially health insurance and retirement contributions. “We must have a willing, cooperative partner. Our public employees are unionized,” he continued. “We’ve got to do something different. This sends a message that if we can’t work with the current people, then we’ll work with others.” Lahey said that the legislation has nothing to do with negotiating wages and benefits. “Are you saying to employees get out of the union?” he asked Lipman, wondering why employees would leave the union
to negotiate less generous terms of employment with the city. “I see people coming forward to work against us, not with us,” Lipman replied. “We’re basically being pushed against a wall. We’ve been left in a position that in order to get anything, we have to give something. If the unions are responsible in working with us,” he went on, “then those who don’t want to be part of the union will have the opportunity to work with us.” Lahey, who has served as a councilor and mayor for 16 years, said that he could not recall “a single city employee say they did not want to be in a union.” Pam Reynolds, acting city manager, told the council that over the years a number of employees who chose not to join a union had asked if they could be relieved of the so-called “agency fee,” which they pay to the union in return for enjoying the terms of employment set forth in the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the union. But, she did not recall any employee refusing to pay the fee. Lipman asked Seymour to take “the sense of the council,” which would be reported to the members of the county delegation. The bill carried the House in February, 221 to 131, which was less than the two thirds majority required to override a gubernatorial veto. The bill was amended in the Senate, where it carried by a two-thirds majority of 16 to 8, and in May returned to the

House, which concurred by a vote of 225 to 140, which again was shy of a two-thirds majority. Six of the 18 Republican representatives from Belknap County voted against the bill in February — Peter Bolster of Alton, Bob Luther of Laco-
nia, Alida Millham of Gilford, Jim Pilliod of Belmont, Dave Russell of Gilmanton and Jeffrey St. Cyr of Alton. In May. Luther and St. Cyr changed their vote, leaving only four members of the delegation opposed to the bill.
EDELSTEIN from page one New Hampshire and to the State University of New York Stonybrook for his Doctor of English degree. Crossing the county, Edelstein spent nearly 30 years as an educator and administrator in California, rising to the vice presidency of academic affairs at the College of the Redwoods and president of Diablo Valley College — both within the California Community College system. Returning to New Hampshire in 2006, he oversaw the expansion of the Lakes Region Community College as the eighth full-time president of the 42-year-old former technical college. Speaking to Edelstein’s efforts within the Lakes Region community and his service on many of its boards and commissions, Lakes Region United Way Director Jack Tirrell said there were only three things to give someone like Edelstein — a short speech, a reading from Ulysses by Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson and a six-pack of Dos Equis beer. “Because he truly is the most interesting man in the room,” Tirrell said, mimicking the popular television commercial. “I am delighted to have Mark as a friend,” said Tony Furuolo of the Belknap County Economic Development Council who lauded Edelstein a leader in educating students for the future economic benefit of the area. He also chided Edelstein as one of the great wine connoisseurs he has ever met, teasing him about his love of the Internet site www.WTSO.com or Wine Til Sold Out. Edelstein serves on the board of the BCEDC, is chair of the board of
the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, the LRGHealthcare Board of Directors, the board of Temple B’nai Israel and the Canterbury Historical District and said he would continue to serve in those areas. Fellow LRCC educators James Vander Hooven, the vice president of student affairs and Thomas Goulette, the vice president of academic affairs (who also served as emcee) both spoke to the remarkable changes his down to earth common sense brought to the college. “He helped me through my dissertation. He knows when to push, encourage and walk away,” said Vander Hooven, calling Edelstein on his his life’s greatest mentors. “He put the ‘community’ in Lake Region Community College.” Edelstein told the nearly 75 people who came to honor him that he knows he has a reputation for being humorous and biting, but “self criticism is so foreign to me.” With thanks to his wife and sisters he reminded everyone that “unconditional love can redeem the most hapless of us” and that his real success was attributed to the many educators, administrators, students, politician and community leaders who welcomed him with open arms and supported the college. “It is a privilege to lead an institution like LRCC and not just to education but to transform lives,” he said in closing. Edelstein retires officially on June 30. In his honor and in his name, the Laconia Savings Bank has created a $1,500 scholarship and Goulette said see next page

LACONIA – Donald Kyle Boyd, 58, of Parade Road in Laconia, passed away peacefully on the morning of Sunday, May 22, 2011 surrounded by the love and support of his family. Don was an incredibly loving, giving, and devoted husband, father, uncle, godfather, friend and coworker who fought cancer with enormous grace and courage. Don was born June 30, 1952 in Jamaica, NY, the fourth of five children to Lillian and John Boyd. He spent much time on the neighborhood playgrounds and on the beaches of Long Island before graduating Freeport High School in 1970. Don met Merriann, the love of his life, in the summer of 1978 up on Torsey Pond near Readfield, ME. The lakefront camp at which they met had been in Merriann’s family for generations, and remains a cherished place to be enjoyed for generations to come. Don and Merriann were married in 1980, and moved to Laconia with hopes of building a family and home together in the beautiful Lakes Region. The Boyd residence on Parade Road slowly grew from a small ranch into the dream home they had sketched out together so many years earlier. Don and Merriann are the proud parents of Christopher (now married to Beth and living in Los Angeles, CA), Steven (now engaged to Kimberly and living in Boston, MA), and Kelliann (now married to Benjamin and living in West Roxbury, MA). He was the perfect Dad, providing his family with tremendous love and support, teaching them by example the value of hard work and friendship, and ensuring that his children always had everything that they needed to find love, success, and happiness.
Over the past 27 years, Don built a successful and rewarding career as Division Sales Manager at Northeast Delta Dental in Concord, NH, where he was a beloved co-worker, colleague, and friend. Don enjoyed many hobbies and traveling with his family. He loved surfcasting for striped bass on Long Island and Martha’s Vineyard, boating on Lakes Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam, snowmobiling on the local trails and up north, enjoying the sun and a hard day’s work at his summer camp in Maine, and working on his house and gardens on Parade Road. Don will be forever remembered by his wife and children, his brothers (John, Arthur, and the late Kenneth), his sister (Ann), and by his many nieces and nephews. He Lived Well, Laughed Often, and Loved Much. Calling hours will be held at the Wilkinson-BeaneSimoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and on Thursday, May 26, 2011 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm with the Memorial Service to follow. A gathering to celebrate Don’s life will be held thereafter at the family’s home at 2698 Parade Road.

The start-up crew is finalizing the course layout for the Segway™ tours and will be involved in intensive ATA training for opening day. “We still have work to complete the entire project by our target of early July,” says Greg Goddard, general manager, “but the Aerial Treetop Adventures course is ready and better that we imagined.” Aerial Treetop Adventures will consist of 91 games that include 41 course challenges involving 22 ladders and 12 zip lines totaling almost 1,400 feet in length. For Memorial Day weekend, a demo course and the five levels of adult courses will be open. The kids course will be the last piece of the puzzle constructed. “The ATA course will be the largest high ropes, zip line, and adven-
ture course in New England,”said Bill Quigley, director of Marketing and Sales. “While many are building fun things to stop traffic, ours is unique as it has been custom designed and built within the natural setting at Gunstock, taking advantage of beauty and topography of the nine acres it covers.” The Aeruak Treetio Adventures experience lasts between 2 — 3 hours and is priced at $45. Reservations are also being accepted for the Mountain Segway™ tours utilizing the new Segway X2. Gunstock will have the only authorized Segway off-road tour experience in New England and will utilize some of its 50 miles of alpine and cross country terrain giving guided nature and historical tours of the area. The guides have planned a great Segway™ tour around the property on a totally new experience. Segway tours will last one-and-a-half hours and be priced at $69. For reservations or more information, call 737-4388.

Lakes Region Antique and Classic Car Show has new home at Sandwich Fairgrounds SANDWICH — The Lakes Region Antique and Classic Car Show is switching to a new and more spacious venue this year — the Sandwich Fairgrounds — for its fifth annual show beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 9. As many as 500 antique and classic cars from the New England states and the Northeast will be on site for this year’s event. The new site has many advantages, according to one of the show organizers, David Wiley of Melvin Village. “We’ll have separate entry gates for participants and spectators, which will make it easier to get people in,” he
from preceding page of Music, her M.M. at Arizona State University, and performs regularly with the Cape Symphony Orchestra and the Neponset Valley Philharmonic Orchestra. Cicconetti is an adjunct instructor for online music theory Boston University and teaches double reeds in the Newton Public Schools. Concert tickets are $15 for adults and are free for children. For directions or more information, call Sant Bani School at 934-4240 or visit the school’s website at santbani.org.
said. “People won’t have to wait in long lines on a steep hill to get to the show, which is certainly a factor with older exhibitor cars which can overheat on a hot day.” Antique and classic cars will enter through the fairground’s main gate on Rte. 109, near the Sandwich Fire Station, and will park in a large, level field capable of holding 500 to 600 cars. Spectators will enter through the entry gate off from Bean Road, which has space for well over 1,000 cars. “This is going to be one of the largest gatherings of antique and classic car enthusiasts in northern New England,’’ said Wiley. Two years ago the
show attracted more than 450 entries, ranging from Model Ts to 1950s classics and 1960s sports cars and trucks 25 years and older. The show is a joint effort of three New Hampshire car clubs: the Profile Auto League, which dates back to 1954; the Lakes Region Chapter of the Model A Club of America; and the Granite Region Antique Automobile Club of America. For information and registration forms, call David or Karen Wiley at 544-2727 or write LRACCS, P.O. Box 168, Melvin Village, NH 03850.

Pooch Café LOLA
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Changes are happening fast. When the old way collapses, you switch gears. Get back out into the world and meet new people. You will expand interests and enlarge your network. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be managing people and doing a fine job of it. You are part nurturer and part mediator, using your communication skills to acknowledge each person, as well as to nudge them toward maximum productivity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You demand a lot. Then again, you are willing to do whatever you ask others to do. They sense this and respect you and the job in question much more because of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you’re afraid to talk about something, there’s a good reason. Exhume it. Maybe it’s a secret you were asked to keep or a situation that makes you feel guilty or powerless. Get it out now and be free of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a holistic view of things now, and you see how each person’s contribution is vitally important to an organization’s success. Share your observations. Others need to realize this now, too. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 24). You’ll enjoy life, and it gets easier for you this year. In June, you’ll reduce expenses and increase your income. July brings an exciting meeting -- your professional path could change. You’ll be honored at a celebration in August. You’ll form a deep connection with a gentle and patient someone in September. Scorpio and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 23, 10, 50, 39 and 28.
by Richard Thompson
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Usually, when someone keeps you waiting, you see it as a sign of disrespect. Don’t take it personally, but do heed the message. The one who makes you wait today is likely to be a repeat offender. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You close an emotional distance. You embrace a loved one and forget about whatever it was that kept you apart. This selective memory loss is, for now, for the best. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The problem you thought was handled comes sneaking back. Give this niggling little bother a new name -- a grand and pompous label that will allow you to laugh at the ridiculousness of it and banish it for good. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Keep in mind that not everything has to be deeply profound. You’ll get a kick out of the silliness a playful person brings to your world, and you will never regret it if you join in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You cannot buy self-esteem with money, and yet there is a cost. Right now, that cost is called “follow through.” You’ll do whatever it takes to do what you said you were going to do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll probably find yourself fighting for something you never intended to defend. You got all wrapped up in things, and now you care more than you wanted to. Your passion is part of what makes you great. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Creative endeavors are wonderfully involving. You have a strong vision -- one that may have to morph because you’re not the only one who has to like it. Relinquish some control. Collaboration brings about a happy outcome.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, May 24, the 144th day of 2011. There are 221 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 24, 1844, Samuel F.B. Morse transmitted the message, “What hath God wrought” from Washington to Baltimore as he formally opened America’s first telegraph line. On this date: In 1775, John Hancock was elected President of the Continental Congress, succeeding Peyton Randolph. In 1819, Queen Victoria was born in London. In 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge, linking Brooklyn and Manhattan, was dedicated by President Chester Alan Arthur and New York Gov. Grover Cleveland, and opened to traffic. In 1935, the first major league baseball game to be played at night took place at Cincinnati’s Crosley Field as the Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1. In 1941, the German battleship Bismarck sank the British dreadnought HMS Hood in the North Atlantic, killing all but three of the 1,418 men on board. In 1959, former U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles died in Washington, D.C. at age 71. In 1961, a group of Freedom Riders was arrested after arriving at a bus terminal in Jackson, Miss., charged with breaching the peace for entering white-designated areas. (They ended up serving 60 days in jail.) In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter became the second American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Aurora 7. In 1976, Britain and France opened transAtlantic Concorde supersonic transport service to Washington. One year ago: Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen, the Obama administration’s point man on the BP oil spill, rejected the idea of taking over the crisis, saying the government had neither BP’s expertise nor its deep-sea equipment. Lukas Lacko of Slovakia beat American Michael Yani in a 71-game match that tied for the most games in a French Open singles match since tiebreakers were instituted in 1973. Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Tommy Chong is 73. Singer Bob Dylan is 70. Actor Gary Burghoff is 68. Singer Patti LaBelle is 67. Actress Priscilla Presley is 66. Country singer Mike Reid is 64. Actor Jim Broadbent is 62. Actor Alfred Molina is 58. Singer Rosanne Cash is 56. Actress Kristin Scott Thomas is 51. Rock musician Jimmy Ashhurst (Buckcherry) is 48. Rock musician Vivian Trimble is 48. Actor John C. Reilly is 46. Actor Eric Close is 44. Rapper-recording executive Heavy D is 44. Rock musician Rich Robinson is 42. Actor Bryan Greenburg is 33. Actor Billy L. Sullivan is 31. Rock musician Cody Hanson (Hinder) is 29. Country singer Billy Gilman is 23. Actor Cayden Boyd is 17.

5th Annual Peter Makris Memorial Run will kick-off Bike Week on June 11 LACONIA — A convergence of steel horsepower will gather at the NASWA Resort on the first day of this year’s Laconia Motorcycle Rally, June 11, with hundreds of bikers joining to raise money for the Laconia Fire Department and Easter Seals NH Veterans Count Program. The NASWA Resort’s 5th Annual “Peter Makris Memorial Run” commemorates the life of the community leader, US Peter Makris Marine, biker and boater, whose life’s work and passion was doing good for the community and neighbors. Proceeds from the event, will help fund Laconia Fire Department’s Life Saving Fund and Water Rescue Unit. Makris helped to create the rescue unit with a $5,000 start-up donation and a challenge to his colleagues in the community to match it. “My husband always served his community,” says his widow, Hope Makris, second-generation matriarch of the NASWA Resort family business, “He heartily supported the fire department’s efforts to provide water rescue on the lake and since he was a proud US Marine, we decided to also select the Easter Seals NH Veterans Count Program as a beneficiary.” The annual run, which includes bikes and boats, has raised more than $120,000 over the past four years and this year, the organizers expect continued growth. Cynthia Makris, president of the NASWA Resort and daughter of Peter Makris says, “We consistently have over 300 bikes par-
ticipating. They come from all over the country and Canada to share my father’s passions and pay their respects in a way that would have made him so very proud.” “We enjoy dad’s run as one of the traditions at the NASWA,” says Karen Makris, the eldest daughter who manages the dining room, while her sister Victoria heads Guest Services, “All of our friends and customers join us on this day to honor our father and continue his good works. “ Early registration for the run is $40 and includes a gourmet buffet breakfast at the NAZBar Beach Bar, a commemorative T-Shirt, bountiful buffet lunch, drink chip and all-day and night live music by Tore Down House with a special appearance by the New Hampshire Fire Brigade Bagpipers and Miss New Hampshire. Day-of registration fee is $50; VIP, front of the pack and prime parking status is $60. Special room rates are available from the NASWA Resort starting on Friday night, June 10, for participants who want to stay and play (and not miss the fabulous breakfast!) Other activities include promotional give-a-ways from Budweiser and 3 Olives Vodka, prize drawings, a silent auction and a variety of Laconia Motorcycle Week food and drink specials. Complete details and early registration are available from the NASWA Resort by calling 603-3664341 or at www.naswa.com.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My daughter recently married and had a baby. The problem is my son-in-law. I have tried to like him, but it’s hard. He is in the military in another state, and my daughter lives at home in order to finish college. It was his idea to save money by having her live here instead of renting an apartment. When the baby was born, my son-in-law was very affectionate with his child. After six weeks, however, he changed and wouldn’t hold the baby anymore. Then he stopped coming by and wouldn’t even call my daughter to see how she was doing. Eventually, he asked for a separation, blaming my daughter for their problems. My daughter decided to visit him and left the baby with me. They reconciled, and she called to say they were going to take their child and leave town together. Fine. But my daughter drove her husband back to base and arrived here in the middle of the night. She then left immediately with the baby. I was angry. Why didn’t her husband tell her to spend the night instead of waking the baby and risking their lives by driving when she was so tired? I know I shouldn’t have, but I told him off in a text message. I couldn’t help myself. I said he was inconsiderate. He told me to mind my own business. Then he told my daughter that I was the problem in their marriage. The next thing I know, he posted our argument on Facebook and had some choice words for me. Was I wrong? -- Desperate in Texas Dear Desperate: Parents should avoid getting too involved in their child’s marital issues. If you didn’t want your daughter driving late at night, you should have discussed it with her instead of getting into a fight with your son-in-law. But it doesn’t surprise us that he broadcast your argument on Facebook. Sharing such private, nasty details with the world is a sign of immaturity. Still, for your daughter’s sake, please work on improving your relationship with her husband.
Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married eight years, and we each have grown children from our previous marriages. We moved to a rural area where hotel accommodations are few. My wife thinks it’s perfectly OK for her son to bring his girlfriend and stay for a week. She does the same with her brother and every other relative. We live close to her elderly parents, so they travel to see them. Unfortunately, their house is small and overheated, so everyone wants to stay with us. My wife even headed a family reunion with 35 people who stayed in campers but used our house to shower. I wouldn’t mind one couple staying a night or two, but my wife can’t say no. She thinks I’m antisocial and says opening the door to friends and relatives, without boundaries, is natural and loving. We can’t seem to reach a compromise. Please help. -- Antisocial Husband in Spokane, Wash. Dear Husband: Your wife is a generous soul. Hosting the relatives makes her happy. The compromise is for her to do it less often than she wants, but more often than you’d like. Try to work on that. Your other option is to vacate the premises when she has guests so they cannot irritate you quite so much. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Talks Too Much.” I find myself with the same problem -- only I’m the one who talks too much. I am single and live in New York, and the rest of my family lives in Virginia. Most of our correspondence is by e-mail. At 90, I don’t get around much, and there are weeks when I don’t talk to anyone. I started losing my voice since it was so rarely used. What’s embarrassing is that when I meet up with friends, I find I can’t stop talking. Fortunately, I realize this and can control it. Being lonely brings on many unimaginable problems. -- EM

Artistic Roots to hold yard sale May 28 and 29
PLYMOUTH — Artistic Roots, an artists’ cooperative with more than 40 local members, will hold a fundraising Yard Sale at the Nold Gallery in Ashland on Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29. The fundraiser will enable the co-op to renovate its new location. “When we moved from Campton to Plymouth in 2009, we never expected to move again so soon,” explained Heather Baldwin, Artistic Roots president. “We thought that the 75 Main Street location would be our home for many years. However, when the store next door became available last fall, we couldn’t resist the temptation to move to street level. We signed the lease in April, and will move in June, as soon as renovations are complete.” The primary reason for the move is to have a handicap accessible location for classes, workshops, receptions, and events. Moving to the new location has involved substantial renovations, including providing a new fire exit through the basement, updated the entire electrical system, replacing the outdated bathroom, and lots of cosmetic improvements. “This move is expensive,” explained Cheryl Johnson, AR executive director. “The building owner has contributed quite a bit, but we have had to borrow nearly $10,000 to complete the improvements.” Anyone who wants to donate items to the yard sale may drop them off at Artistic Roots, open daily from 9 a.m. — 5 p.m. Cash donations are also welcome and may be sent to Artistic Roots, P.O. Box 211, Plymouth, NH 03264.

Boys & Girls club teams up with Kohl’s for spring cleaning LACONIA — Members of the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region recently teamed up with employees from Kohl’s in Tilton to do some spring cleaning and planting. The Kohl’s Team chose the Club as its Green Project and raked, weeded, and generally cleaned up around the Club’s Lakeport location. Board
Member Jean Vaillancourt added a donation of flowers and her planting expertise and joined the Team and Club members for a great “green” time. Along with their energy and sweat, Kohl’s donates $1,500 to help the club continue making a great impact on the youth and community.
