House holds up ‘slow down’ sign on State School sale

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — The fate of legislation that would authorize the state to sell the former Laconia State School property to the city of Laconia at its fair market value will be decided in a committee of conference.

The House of Representatives yesterday voted not to concur with the Senate, which amended House Bill 1205 as passed by the

House, and to request a committee of conference to resolve the differences between the two versions of the bill.

The Senate amended the bill to repeal a provision of the companion bill to the 20122013 state budget stipulating that the property be offered to the city of Laconia for “not less than $10-million.” The Senate decided to change course after the state appraised the property at $2.16-million and the City

Council, after receiving the state’s $10-million offer, made a counter offer to purchase the property, along with the Robbie Mills Sports Complex, for that price. The Senate also amended the bill to include a $1.7-million appropriation to the court system for investment in information technology.

The legislation prescribes that the sale would be subject to the statute (RSA 4:40) see STATE SCHOOL page 12

Unabomber updates profile for Harvard alumni book

BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University alumni attending their 50th class reunion this week are getting updates on classmates — including Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.

Kaczynski graduated in 1962 and is locked up in the federal Supermax prison in Colorado for killing three people and injuring 23 during a nationwide bombing spree between 1978 and 1995. In an alumni directory, he lists his occupation as “prisoner” and says his awards are “Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998.”

Harvard’s alumni association said all class members, including Kaczynski, were invited to submit entries for the class report, distributed for reunion activities during commencement week. But it said it regrets including his references to his convictions.

“While all members of the class who submit entries are included, we regret publishing Kaczynski’s references to his convictions and apologize for any distress that it may have see ALUMNI page 13

Pakistan sends doctor who helped U.S. find Osama bin Laden to prison for 33 years

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– TOP OF THE NEWS––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A doctor who helped the CIA hunt down Osama bin Laden was convicted Wednesday of conspiring against the state and sentenced to 33 years in prison, adding new strains to an already deeply troubled relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan.

U.S. officials had urged Pakistan to release the doctor, who ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and

verify the al-Qaida leader’s presence at the compound in the town of Abbottabad where U.S. commandos killed him in May 2011 in a unilateral raid.

The lengthy sentence for Dr. Shakil Afridi will be taken as another sign of Pakistan’s defiance of American wishes. It could give more fuel to critics in the United States that Pakistan — which has yet to arrest anyone for helping shelter bin Laden —

should no longer be treated as an ally.

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who as CIA director oversaw the U.S. raid on bin Laden, said in an interview aired Wednesday on the “CBS Evening News” that Afridi was “very helpful” with the operation.

“For them to take this kind of action against somebody who was helping to go see PAKISTAN page 10

CAIRO (AP) — After a lifetime of being told who will rule them, Egyptians dove enthusiastically into the uncertainty of the Arab world’s first competitive presidential race Wednesday, wrestling with a polarizing choice between secularists rooted in Hosni Mubarak’s old autocracy and Islamists hoping to infuse the state with religion.

Waiting in long lines, voters were palpably excited at the chance to decide their

country’s path in the vote, the fruit of last year’s stunning popular revolt that overthew Mubarak after 29 years in power. For the past 60 years, Egypt’s presidents ran unchallenged in yes-or-no referendums that few bothered to vote in.

Still, the choices raised worries among many about whether real democracy will emerge. The final result, likely to come after a runoff next month, will only open a new chapter of political struggle.

Mohammed Salah, 26, emerged grinning from a poll station, fresh from casting his ballot. “Before, they used to take care of that for me,” he said. “Today, I am choosing for myself.”

Medhat Ibrahim, 58, who suffers from cancer, had tears in his eyes. “I might die in a matter of months, so I came for my children, so they can live,” he said, as he waited to vote in a poor Cairo district. “We want to see EGYPT page 16

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Robert Champion was known for his opposition to the hazing rampant in the Florida A&M University marching band, but he was vying to be lead drum major and wanted

Council okays Bassett’s seat on N.H. Supreme Court CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s Executive Council on Wednesday approved the governor’s nomination of a veteran appellate lawyer with expertise in legal ethics to the state Supreme Court.

The council voted 4-1 to appoint James Bassett to the court.

Bassett, 55, has argued many appeals to the Supreme Court in his 27 years with the law firm of Orr & Reno. He specializes in complex litigation, legal ethics and First Amendment law. It was Bassett who secured the ruling permitting cameras as most state court proceedings.

Councilors praised his intellect, temperament and his longtime involvement in his Cansee COURT page 8

Senate & House to negotiate on contraceptive legislation

CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Senate has grudgingly agreed to negotiate with the House on a bill that would allow some employers to exclude contraceptive coverage from health plans if they have religious objections.

The bill would apply to businesses partly or wholly owned by a religious society and those formed for a religious intent. The House added it to an unrelated Senate bill last week and requested a committee to negotiate a compromise.

The Senate, which already had effectively killed a similar, broader measure, on Wednesday agreed to negotiate after Sen. Fenton Groen assured his colleagues that he would make sure the contraception provision wouldn’t survive.

The underlying bill clarifies the authority given to delegates to a federal constitutional convention.

Homophobia Homophobia is defined as “hatred or fear of homosexuals — that is, lesbians and gay men — sometimes leading to acts of violence and expressions of hostility” (http:// www.adl.org/hate-patrol/homophobia.asp). Like all exaggerated fears, it has no rational basis.

Individuals who identify as gay and lesbian have been on this earth since the beginning of time and they are not going away despite inane and quixotic attempts to convert them. They include Democrats, Republicans, libertarians, nonvoters, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, atheists and agnostics. They are from all races and ethnicities and represent all walks of life — education, law, medicine, music, art, sports, entertainment, engineering, business, politics, the military, etc. Their education levels also vary. They are single, married and divorced. Many are parents, and research suggests that lesbians may even be more effective parents than heterosexual ones.

It is estimated that 10-percent of males are homosexual and 5-percent of females are lesbian. These figures may also be conservative due to the number of people who deny their homosexuality. Thus, those who identify as homosexuals are as diverse as heterosexuals in every way but sexual orientation.

Contrary to some opinions, they also have no negative impact on society. In one respect, their presence has not caused as much pain as the presence of heterosexuals.

For example, following the Vietnam War, not a single homosexual person left an orphan behind to be shunned because of their biracial status. This leads me to believe that perhaps heterosexuals should not be allowed in theaters of war!

The question remains about the source of irrational fear toward gays and lesbians. Perhaps one answer to this comes from a recent article entitled, “Homophobic?

Maybe you’re gay.” (http://www. nytimes.com/2012/04/29/opinion/ sunday/homophobic-maybe-youregay.html?_r=3&hpw) written by Richard M. Ryan, professor of psychology, psychiatry and education at the University of Rochester and William S. Ryan, a doctoral student in psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Examples of those who protested too much their antipathy toward homosexuals include Ted Haggard, an evangelical leader who was involved with a male prostitute; Larry Craig, a United States senator arrested on suspicion of lewd conduct in a men’s bathroom; and Glenn Murphy Jr., a leader of the Young Republican National Convention who sexually assaulted another man.

The authors contend that “homosexual urges, when repressed out

of shame or fear, can be expressed as homophobia. Freud famously called this process a “reaction formation” — the angry battle against the outward symbol of feelings that are inwardly being stifled. Even Mr. Haggard seemed to endorse this idea when, apologizing after his scandal for his anti-gay rhetoric, he said, ‘I think I was partially so vehement because of my own war.’’’

The authors also point to a recent issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that indicates the connection between homophobia and the unconscious and repressed attraction to people of the same gender. In other words, some people show their true feelings by exaggerating the opposite ones. For example, if a person rallies against gays and lesbians and/or commits violence against them, there may be no suspicion that this person has homosexual leanings. Such homophobic behavior not only serves to convince the person that he is not homosexual but also the public who would never guess that a gay basher himself would be homosexual.

The following study exemplifies and reinforces the assumption that some homophobia is a result of an internal war: “Our paper describes six studies conducted in the United States and Germany involving 784 university students. Participants rated their sexual orientation on a 10-point scale, ranging from gay to straight. Then they took a computer-administered test designed to measure their implicit sexual orientation. In the test, the participants were shown images and words indicative of hetero- and homosexuality (pictures of same-sex and straight couples, words like “homosexual” and “gay”) and were asked to sort them into the appropriate category, gay or straight, as quickly as possible. The computer measured their reaction times.

The twist was that before each word and image appeared, the word “me” or “other” was flashed on the screen for 35 milliseconds — long enough for participants to subliminally process the word but short enough that they could not consciously see it. The theory here, known as semantic association, is that when “me” precedes words or images that reflect your sexual orientation (for example, heterosexual images for a straight person), you will sort these images into the correct category faster than when “me” precedes words or images that are incongruent with your sexual orientation (for example, homosexual images for a straight person). This technique, adapted from similar tests used to assess attitudes like subconscious racial bias, reliably distinguishes between self-identified straight individuals and those who self-identify as lesbian, gay or see next page

LETTERS Writing that my kids should be taken away wasn’t an attack?

To the editor, Ordinarily, I wouldn’t waste a nanosecond of my time responding to anything written or otherwise uttered from one “E” Scott Cracraft, given the usual leftist liberal pap he puts forth is as predictable and stale as always. There are times, however, when the record must be corrected, lest certain falsehoods stand unanswered, thus becoming a “truth” by default in the minds of many unaware of the details. And so it is with “E’s” letter of May 22 here in the Sun — a document containing enough disinformation and half-truths that would no doubt make his comrades in some yetremaining politburo proud. In fact, he’s so good, I think this form of ever-biased (clueless?) misinformation deserves it’s own tag. How about “E-Craft?” It’s kinda like witchcraft minus the voodoo but retaining the hocus-pocus.

E-Crafting on the topic of the oh-so Orwellian “Community Aspirations” statement, he notes it “did not herald the formation of a new ‘language police.’” On this, the E-Craft is actually right (the half truth). You see, for him, this is indeed not the formation of a NEW “language police.” Oh, no, not for a long-time E-Crafter, with HIS experience. For him, the “language police” gig is old hat. Contrary to his claims of having written a letter years ago in which he criticized my WRITING STYLE but did “not attack Mr. Lambert as a person,” the E-Crafter — along with some lady named Ellen McClung — suggested, in response to an editorial I had written, that the state should REMOVE my two children from my home, declaring me unfit to be raising them. I don’t know about you, but when I hear that somebody suggests the government

remove one’s children from the home — not for any ACTIONS, but simply for expressing a certain point of view or belief — the first thing that comes to mind is, indeed, “language police.”

Or is it “thought police?”

The master E-Crafter, having started his most recent letter on a good rant, wasn’t content to stop it at that. His letter further stated that I attacked the Catholic Charities and participated in a frivolous lawsuit.

Maybe a good commie practicing his E-Craft sees a denial of the vote of the citizenry (proletariat) as frivolous, but I don’t. If he had taken a break from E-Crafting and actually bothered to read the many pleadings (not that the plain words would possibly mean anything to him), he would understand that this case was anything BUT frivolous — but that’s not the point. In the E-Crafter’s world, facts mean nothing — all that matters is the attack on political enemies espousing ideologies they just simply cannot stand.

As to my “attack” on the Catholic Charities — for those not wishing to drink the E-Craft flavored Kool-Aid, here’s the TRUTH: Back in October of 2011, I submitted a letter to this paper decrying the involvement of the Southern Poverty Law Center — a nationally-noted leftist liberal organization — in the Laconia schools to help fight so-called “hate crime” in the region. Reacting to the reportage on the subject at the time, which noted their involvement, I asked if “the folks down at Catholic Charities ever consider the company they keep?”

Attack? Only to someone ensnared by the sorcery of E-Craft.

WOW Trail needs to follow tracks through South Down to Weirs To the editor, The WOW Trail is being over celebrated. All future efforts should be towards completing the trail to the Weirs Beach, Meredith and beyond.

All railroad tracks are national treasures that are irreplaceable in today’s world and to lose them would be another example of political stupidity, party be damned. The fact that

all railroad beds have an extremely gentle gradient lends them perfect for very low power conveyances.

The WOW Trail needs to be completed with the trail closely following the tracks through South Down and right under the bridge at the Weirs to connect with the boardwalk. Such a path would become an attraction to see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 24, 2012 — Page 5

SANDY from preceding page bisexual.

Using this methodology we identified a subgroup of participants who, despite self-identifying as highly straight, indicated some level of samesex attraction (that is, they associated “me” with gay-related words and pictures faster than they associated “me” with straight-related words and pictures). Over 20-percent of selfdescribed highly straight individuals showed this discrepancy.

Notably, these “discrepant” individuals were also significantly more likely than other participants to favor anti-gay policies; to be willing to assign significantly harsher punishments to perpetrators of petty crimes if they were presumed to be homosexual; and to express greater implicit hostility toward gay subjects (also measured with the help of subliminal priming). Thus our research suggests that some who oppose homosexuality do tacitly harbor same-sex attraction (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/ opinion/sunday/homophobic-maybeyoure-gay.html?_r=3&hpw).

The researchers also explain that the origin of repressed homosexual impulses is related to the kind of parenting that children have. When children are raised by nurturing parents as opposed to authoritarian ones, they “were more in touch with their implicit sexual orientation and less WOW from preceding page tourists and locals alike, a real plus for Laconia. Getting this natural and inevitable right of way through the courts is like the battle to get the burnt out Weirs

susceptible to homophobia.” Controlling, rejecting and prejudiced parents cause children to deny their real feelings and adopt the values and beliefs their parents have out of fear. Thus, loving parents allow children to be in touch with their real feelings and to accept themselves and others while rejecting parents cause children to hate themselves and others. Another thing about homophobic people I have observed is that some may be pillars of the community doing things for others in order to mask their feelings of selfloathing and making it seem that their fear and hatred of homosexuals is exclusive and has some rational or religious justification.

The authors conclude by saying that, “It’s important to stress the obvious: Not all those who campaign against gay men and lesbians secretly feel same-sex attractions. But at least some who oppose homosexuality are likely to be individuals struggling against parts of themselves, having themselves been victims of oppression and lack of acceptance. The costs are great, not only for the targets of anti-gay efforts but also often for the perpetrators. We would do well to remember that all involved deserve our compassion.”

LETTERS It’s hard for sane people to kill others unless you dehumanize them To the editor, Recently, there has been a great deal of good discussion and debate about Nazism in the pages of The Sun. Was German National Socialism really “socialism?” Was what happened in Germany a product of parenting?

Could it “happen here?” Writers have posed many good questions to think about.

When I was a kid, my father was in the U.S. Air Force and our family lived in Germany for three and a half years.

When my dad had leave, we took our vacations in Bavaria. One summer, my family and I visited Dachau, Hitler’s first concentration camp. I remember asking my dad why the Nazis did these things. His answer was common at the time: the Germans were innately a people that “marched in step,” followed orders without question, and liked strong leaders. Like many Americans, I believed it.

I have since come to the conclusion that hatred, racism, persecution, and genocide are not “German things.” I have known too many decent Germans to believe this. Nor are they Cambodian or Turkish things. Instead, they are HUMAN things and the darker side of the HUMAN condition, a dark side we must ALL guard against.

Human beings are capable of both immense good and great evil. What happened in Germany could happen anywhere. There is nothing innate in German culture or the “German char-

acter” that makes Germans more predisposed to this behavior. But, by the same token, there is nothing innate in anyone’s culture making them LESS predisposed to such behavior.

Genocide is a process. In the case of Germany, we are talking about a highly educated, civilized, and cultured country. It took a process that involved dehumanizing the Jews to turn “good” Germans into butchers.

Hitler did not start in 1933 with the mass extermination of the Jews. In fact, the first occupants of the concentration camps included communists, socialists, liberals, religious leaders, and anyone else the Nazis regarded as “un-German.” The Nazis promoted ultra-nationalism, a kind of “German exceptionalism.” German culture was to be protected against foreign and “Jewish” influences. Hitler was little more than a sociopathic politician who used scapegoating, lies, and fear to manipulate people. Many politicians with much less blood on their hands have used similar methods.

An key part of this process is “dehumanization.” It is hard for sane humans to kill other humans unless you make your target appear less than human. You also tell a lot of BIG lies about the target. You blame your target for everything. Then, things like persecution and even genocide becomes easier.

LETTERS Obama, first and foremost, wants what is best for our country

Gilford Home Center opens the house for Memorial Day

Gilford Home Center introducing Stihl power equipment with a grand opening Friday, May 25th & Saturday, May 26th!

To the editor, The Republican Party wants your vote, as do the Democrats. The funny thing is that some people will vote for a candidate that has promised he will do NOTHING for them. Romney and his party has promised to curtail some of the rights that women enjoy today, especially abortion and some medical rights, but still some women will vote for him. Even women who believe in abortion will vote for him. Hispanics, either illegal or not have promised their vote to Romney while bringing a packed suitcase for their self-imposed exile if he wins. Some from the gay society have worked, for a short-term anyway, have promised their support. This while knowing they are not liked, supported or wanted by the Republican party. Poor people, even while living on the edge, will vote for Romney knowing that they may lose some of their government financial support.

For the most part Democrats sup-

port almost everybody in our society, no matter who they are. Even if you make lots of money, fine, just pay more taxes and skip the favored breaks.

Same with the big companies and CEOS making $10-20 million per year along with tax breaks. Romney has NOTHING to do with free enterprise but everything to do with greed while ignoring the workers. There is a good chance that Romney has LOST more jobs than he created with all the plant closings. Not even counting his record while governor in Mass.

Obama wants what is best for the country and our nation first and foremost and that’s why I will support and vote for him. Because after he wins, and with some support from the other party, our country can be repaired but both parties have to work together.

Tell that to Mitch McConnell before he destroys the USA with his treasonous wishes.

To the editor, Recently one of our N.H. colleges announced the closing of its doors: Chester College. This was one of the more affordable colleges for qualified students, such as my grandson. Listening to a NPR discussion on funding (the lack of it) for education was an eye opener, as very little is said about why and where much needed money is going. In fact, it would seem that funding for education, health and social programs, is on such a back-burner in both our state and federal financial agendas that the whole subject is avoided!

Isn’t it time that we came face-toface with the error of our ways, and put our priorities in order? Maybe we even need to clean house — our political house, that is. Do we have politicians, at any level, who will face the real issues in our financial situation?

Could we at least have the conver-

sation about how our money would be best spent, to benefit our people?

Is it possible that the truth hurts to the extent that our leaders can’t face it? If given the opportunity to have a say that would count, what would you say, knowing how tight money is?

Personally, I would have to point out that 1. we would have ample money for education if we stayed out of wars; 2. we’re friendlier to our neighboring countries; 3. stopped coddling politicians, by giving them realistic salaries and benefits; 4. said NO to banks and other businesses needing help because of their own mistakes.

If we did some of the above, young people like my grandson, wouldn’t have to worry about how he can get an education — equipping him to help his country.

Obama’s fixation on government solutions will just increase debt To the editor, Marcia Hayward’s letter in the May 18 Daily Sun continues the left’s obsession with blaming all our current economic problems on the policies of George Bush, even though Bush has been out of office for 3 1/2 years. As Thomas Sowell has so precisely and consistently documented, tax cuts under JFK, Reagan, Bush and others have increased revenues to the federal government each time that they have been enacted. The problem comes with the spending side of the equation, be it Congress and/or the executive branch. Bush added $4 -trillion to the national debt in his eight year term, but President Obama’s policies have increased the deficit by over $5-trillion in less than four years, and his fixation on government solu-

tions to economics, health care and societal issues will only increase the debt further. Obama’s failed policies are the current and future issue, not those of Bush.

Mitt Romney knows how to create jobs and be an effective manager. Witness his success with Bain Capital and saving the 2002 Olympics. It is no secret that businesses and people will not invest in new job creation when there is so much uncertainty. Obamacare, Dodd-Frank and Tim Geitner threats (re: JP Morgan Chase) are stifling job creativity. Let’s trust the private sector, especially entrepreneurs, and get government out of micromanaging the economy and spending us into oblivion.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 24, 2012 — Page 7

LETTERS With this vote, we’ll see how much justices cherish Constitution To the editor, Is not the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act a misnomer wrapped in irony and covered in socialist deceit?

The CBO estimates the law will cause 3-million fewer people to have employer sponsored coverage by 2019.

And the actual health care costs? To Nancy Pelosi’s everlasting chagrin, when she found out what was in the PPACA, she could not find anything in the law that would contain costs.

And she was just so darn excited to find out what was in this dictatorial document. Also according to the CBO, it gets worse, much worse. Annual gross costs after 2021 are estimated to be more than a quarter of $1-trillion into perpetuity or until our complete economic collapse, whichever comes first. Certainly a distinct possibility for a country already close to $6-trillion in debt. The CBO also estimates that “Obamacare” will destroy up to 800,000 jobs. The National Federation of Independent Businesses claims that “this health care plan could cost 1.6-million jobs — most of them small business jobs”.

Dr. Milton R. Wolf, radiologist points out five of the many false promises spoken by our “transparency leader”.

(1)” If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period”.

(2) “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 per year will see any form of tax increases”. (3) “We will bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family”. (4) Obamacare will cost “around $900-billion over 10years” and “would cut the deficit over 20 years by more than $1-trillion”. (5) “Obamacare is about jobs. In it’s life, it will create 4 million jobs — 400,000 jobs almost immediately”. This cousin to our beloved leader believes these are just plain lies.

Representative Allen B. West asserts, “Beyond exerting oppressive control over individuals and private enterprises, Obamacare circumvents the foundation of our own legislative structure”. At the center of this “Affordable Care Act” is the Independent Payment Advisory Panel (IBAP).

It is made up of 15 unelected officials appointed by the president to reduce Medicare spending. Congressman West informs us that this will be done by limiting reimbursements to doctors which will lead to more doctors leaving the system. While at the same time covering millions of additional patients, quality of care will be hugely affected. Just check out those deadly waiting lines for surgery and cancer treatments in Canada and jolly ole England where about 14,000 seniors with cancer die every year because they are refused life saving treat-

ments that people routinely get in this country, for now anyway. Perhaps another canary in the coal mine?

So, is it any surprise that there are now well over a thousand waivers, mostly for unions, foundations and left-leaning corporations? There you go again Mr. President, picking those winners and losers in your trademark self-serving, narcissistic manner. Not a surprise, because despite being 2700 pages in length, no room for tort reform could be found. Darn those huge Democrat donations from trial lawyers. Otherwise, this step could yield tens of billions of dollars in savings and lower insurance premiums.

Perhaps an even bigger savings could be realized if the hidden costs of defensive medicine would be addressed. Ah, but as Charles Krauthammer notes, that would interfere with “jackpot justice”. One claimant gets a barrel full of money while the next one gets nothing and the lawyers get one third of everything, to paraphrase Mr. Krauthammer.

Docs4patientcare.org is an informative website and they have been vigorously opposing the disastrous impact of IPAB, the 15 member panel of unelected, politically appointed bureaucrats who don’t have to be practicing doctors and will have unilateral authority to make health care decisions. Yes, that means very little congressional oversight and no redress through the court system.

Just let that sink in for a moment.

To summarize: massive costs, loss of personal docs, bogus coverage claims, early retiring docs, fines, rising costs, waivers, abortion coverage and a very negative economic impact. As Dr. William Campbell Douglass warns, “they can pass all the laws they want, raise taxes on everyone, force us all to buy insurance, print more dollars, and even borrow millions more from China -- but there is still no way in heck they’ll be able to pay for it”.

According to Americans for Tax Reform, this Godzilla sized law has already created 159 new programs and boards in Washington. As Grover Norquist explained, “It’s a huge increase in the size and scope of government because the government is getting control of 15-percent of the economy”. We had better all pray that our Supreme Court decides that our Constitution is still relevant and sends this horrendous law into the dust bin of statist history. In June 2012, we will find just how much our justices cherish our Constitution. I hope this letter has captured the attention of a few concerned citizens. If not, stay tuned for part two which explains how this law attacks seniors and launches a “real” attack on women.

Is White House coming around to agreeing unborn baby is person?

To the editor, What madness in a recent newsletter to Congress. According to ABC News, on May 9, the Obama White House Visitor’s Office distributed an e-mail newsletter to members of Congress and others requiring a pregnant

into the White House security system if mom intends to schedule a visit.

Apparently this requirement is so that if mom has the baby prior to her visit, the newborn babe will already be in the system and would have clearance to go on the visit as well. see next page

To the editor, Watching right wingers make stuff up can really be entertaining. Unfortunately the laughing has to stop when one sees how many get deluded and made a fool. Most of the conservatives that write in to this paper obediently repeat all the right-wing talking points. Don’t believe a word that these people say unless you have looked it up and find it so. My experience is that 98-percent of what right wingers claim is a lie, a distortion or a delusion.

And believe me, the lies are deliberate at times; Obama Derangement Syndrome make sleazy the norm.

The propaganda from the conservative clown car is that President Obama is wrecking the economy with foolhardy spending. Fox says it, Romney says it, preachers say it, illiterate southern governors say it and all the sheep say baaaaaah. But how badly have they lied on this? Its much worse than I thought. Being that I support Keyensian economics, I don’t have a problem with spending to stimulate the economy.

The latest Marketwatch report even surprised me. Marketwatch is part of the Wall Street Journal so it

would be hard to dismiss it because it is a liberal outfit. The report says that Obama’s spending spree never happened. Say what? Obama’s annualized spending growth for his first term is 1.4-percent.

What was Reagan’s? 8.7-percent & 4.9-percent.

Bush #1? 5.4-percent.

Clinton? 3.2-percent & 3.9-percent.

Bush #2? 7.3-percent & 8.1-percent.

What these numbers indicate is that Reagan and Bush 2 had terms in which the spending rate was up to SIX TIMES what Obama is on track to spend yet the right wing keeps blabbering away, spittle flying every which way, that the socialist in the Oval Office is spending America down the drain. Reagan and Bush 2 already did that (TWO MARKET CRASHES!) and you never heard a peep from the psycho-talkers.

Clearly, it has been the GOP that have been on the spending sprees.

So the next time you see the usual suspects on their usual fact-free economic rants, just remember that they are probably spreading a bold faced lie and doing it proudly and passionately.

Monitor has no respect for Americans who died fighting Hitler To the editor, When I was 18 years old I was a rifle man for Gen. Patton. I was the first scout of the rifle squad; there were no American soldiers in front of me. In my division there were 3,000 rifle men and among those 3,000 rifle men and their replacements, we had 15,000 causalities at the hand of men who commonly said “sieg heil”.

The political cartoon that ran Wednesday in the Concord Monitor is inflammable — comparing Speaker O’Brien to Hitler. For me it is a deeply cutting, personal, inflammatory insult and I’m appalled any American would say or depict such a thing. Any comparison of any American political figure to Adolf Hitler is abhorrent to all who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust — the six million murdered

by the Nazis and the American soldiers who fought, those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend good in this world, and the families of all those affected. While my expectations for the Concord Monitor are low as they have time and again demonstrated a liberal bias, yellow journalism and “gotcha reporting”, I would not have expected this even from them. The lack of even a semblance of decency and respect from the Monitor for the 15,000 men in my division — most of whom were just 18 when they gave their lives — is a sad and shameful indication of how far public discourse has strayed and I never thought I’d see this day.

Rep. Robert Kingsbury Laconia

from preceding page The insanity here is that the administration officially recognizes the unborn as a person, but still feels it is okay to chose abortion (murder) for that infant. Crazy. Or has Obama changed his stance on abortion?

Representative Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania humorously congratulated Obama on this seemingly change of heart, saying, “I’d like to commend President Obama for finally acknowledging that life begins at conception.”

Clearly life does begin at conception and progresses from that point, and abortion at any time in the pregnancy kills the baby, slaughters the innocent child within. One who advocates prochoice is simply saying that a mother may chose to kill her baby.

Don’t forget, choice also means that a pregnant mother can have the baby, cherish it and nurture it, give her child life, not death. Life is precious!

from preceding page Wheeler he said Wednesday he believes Bassett will be an activist judge and questioned whether he would strictly interpret the constitution. He also panned Bassett’s support of the federal Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act because it restricts the 2nd Amendment guarantee of the right to bear arms.

Councilor Ray Wieczorek said he spoke to Bassett over the weekend after getting numerous calls from constituents concerned about the nominee’s stance on gun rights. Wieczorek said Bassett told him he represents gun manufacturer Sturm, Ruger in its bid to open a firing range in Newport.

“Obviously someone who’s against the Second Amendment wouldn’t be trying to open a firing range,” Wieczorek said.

In nominating him May 8, Gov. John Lynch lauded Bassett for his vast experience, intellect and com-

munity service.

Bassett will succeed Senior Justice James Duggan on the state’s highest court. Duggan retired in January.

Chief Justice Linda Stewart Dalianis said Bassett will be an “excellent addition to the Supreme Court,” adding that he had a “sterling reputation” as an attorney and was well-prepared when appearing before the high court.

Bassett is a veteran marathon runner who last month placed 181st overall out of nearly 3,400 runners in California’s Big Sur marathon last month — less than two weeks after running the Boston Marathon.

“If you’re going to run a marathon, you know how to dedicate yourself to something,” said longtime colleague Bill Chapman. “He’s a very energetic young man.”

Bassett made an unsuccessful run for Congress in 1994, losing to Charlie Bass in the Republican primary.

GILFORD — Selectmen held last night’s public hearing about financing a new fire truck but refused to take input about whether or not the town should make the lease in the first place, leaving that for tonight’s Budget Committee Public Hearing.

While the discussion was more civilized than it has been in recent weeks, some of those who spoke said they were still confused about why the town was even talking about financing.

“I’m concerned that as a taxpayer, we’ve spoken,” said Jay Ellingson who said this was the first public hearing he had attended in years and came only because he saw the taped version of the last meeting where the town came up with way it could “get around a judge.”

“Why did I take time off to vote if my vote didn’t count?” he asked.

Later in the meeting, Selectmen John O’Brien said the town, contrary to what was written in a headline in The Laconia Daily Sun, did not “end run” the legal requirement that a town has to raise and appropriate money at its annual town meeting unless an emergency was declared by a Superior Court judge, but just wanted “to be expedient.”

Because the money would not be expended from the 2012 budget just voted, the Department of Revenue Administration told the town that it did not need to petition a judge for a special meeting to raise the money. The caveat is that to obligate the lease payment for 10 consecutive years, the vote will need to pay by a 60-percent super-majority.

As it stands right now, voters will decide if they want the town to enter into a 10-year closed-end lease not to exceed $441,820 with annual payments beginning in 2013 for not more than $50,901. Closedend means the town will own the truck at the end of the lease.

Selectmen said the most competitive lease factor so far corresponds to an interest rate of 2.66-percent and that Town Administrator Scott Dunn is still shopping for a more competitive rate.

According to Fire Engineer Board Chair Bill Akerley, “things changed” when the department took the 25-year-old Engine 4 into the shop for the repairs authorized by the most recent town vote and learned that it would take “$50,000, $60,000, $70,000” to fix the pumper. “The fire department doesn’t have the see next page

from preceding page money.” he said.

“We’re not trying to slide this by. The truck is not viable,” said Akerley who also said the “news” came as no surprise to the Board of Fire Engineers and that he knows there are a number of people in town who will never be convinced of that.

When one man asked what the trade-in or resale value of the old pumper was, Chief Steve Carrier said he was told by Lakes Region Fire Apparatus that it was about $3,500.

Leading opponent to the lease purchase Kevin Leandro said he would buy the old truck on the spot for $3,500.

“The engine core alone is worth $8,000,” he said.

In the automotive world, there is a secondary market for “cores” or pre-cast engines and transmissions whereby the buyers rebuild the insides using the existing core or casings and sell them on the secondary or used market. Starters, alternators, air conditioners, batteries and pumps are examples of automotive and truck parts that have core values, although in this case there is some concern that Engine 4’s main pump core for firefighting, not the water pump that cools the engine, may be beyond rebuilding.

Leandro, who is also on the Budget Committee, is in the trucking business and has the ability to remove the engine, store it and other “core” parts and the knowledge of where to sell them on the secondary market. Most other people do not, although, presumably, any company or person who buys a used fire truck would have that same information.

Selectmen also voted unanimously to hold an emergency meeting May 31 at 6 p.m. to make an an official recommendation as to what the Budget Committee votes to do after tonight’s public hearing.

After the hearing, the Budget Committee will vote on whether or not to recommend the lease purchase agreement for the new fire truck.

Newfound layoffs limited to 5 teachers because of attrition

BY LAURA MCCRYSTAL CONCORD MONITOR

BRISTOL — Five teachers in the Newfound Area School District have been notified that they’ll be laid off next school year following a $2.3-million reduction in the budget, according to Superintendent Marie Ross.

The 9-percent budget reduction called for the elimination of 15 positions, but Ross said 10 of the positions were eliminated by teachers retiring or voluntarily leaving the district.

The full-time positions eliminated include seven elementary school teachers, two middle school teachers, four high school teachers and one librarian and media specialist, Ross said. She also eliminated a part-time guidance counselor, part-time kindergarten teacher and part-time physical education teacher.

“It was a very long, hard process to follow each of the steps and make sure that we did the reduction in force in a way that was acceptable to the teachers PAKISTAN from page one after terrorism, I just think is a real mistake on their part,” he said.

The verdict came days after a NATO summit in Chicago that was overshadowed by tensions between the two countries that are threatening American hopes of an orderly end to the war in Afghanistan and withdrawal of its combat troops by 2014.

Islamabad was invited in expectation it would reopen supply lines for NATO and U.S. troops to Afghanistan it has blocked for nearly six months to protest U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops on the Afghan border. But it did not reopen the routes, and instead repeated demands for an apology from Washington for the airstrikes.

Pakistan’s treatment of Afridi since his arrest following the bin Laden raid has in many ways symbolized the gulf between Washington and Islamabad.

contract,” Ross said.

The school district operates four elementary schools, a middle school and a high school that serve students in Alexandria, Bridgewater, Bristol, Danbury, Groton, Hebron and New Hampton.

Ten teachers were initially notified at the end of March that they may not be offered a contract, Ross said. Teachers who were offered contracts had until the end of last month to tell school officials if they planned to decline the offer. At that point, the district was able to offer positions to five teachers who had been told they would be laid off.

“So unfortunately we had to put the people who were reduced in force kind of in that limbo waiting room,” Ross said.

Ross said the past few months have “been very trying times” for the teachers, but she complimented their attitudes and commitment to the students.

“It’s a difficult thing to know that you just lost your job, and yet they still come every day and they give it their all,” she said.

In the United States and other Western nations, Afridi was viewed as a hero who had helped eliminate the world’s most-wanted man. But Pakistan army and spy chiefs were outraged by the raid, which led to international suspicion that they had been harboring the al-Qaida chief. In their eyes, Afridi was a traitor who had collaborated with a foreign spy agency in an illegal operation on its soil.

Afridi, in his 50s, was detained sometime after the raid, but the start of his trial was never publicized.

He was tried under the Frontier Crimes Regulations, or FCR — the set of laws that govern Pakistan’s semiautonomous tribal region. Human rights organizations have criticized the FCR for not providing suspects the right to legal representation, to present material evidence, or to cross-examine witnesses. Verdicts are handled by a government official in consultation with a council of elders.

Hours Goodie’s Exchange is open cut back because intent was being abused

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — It’s just a little wooden building with cement blocks for steps, but since the 1970s Goodie’s Exchange has served as a way for town residents to reuse things that are just too good to throw away.

Recently, said Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan, Goodie’s has been open only on Saturday’s all day and by request Tuesdays through Fridays in part because at least one resident had been using the little shack at the Transfer Station for more than the Yankee Swap for which it is intended.

“We kind of suspected that a few people were putting things on e-Bay or selling them at yard sales,” Morgan said, noting that the intended purpose of Goodie’s Exchange was more for a “repurposing” rather than the town’s subsidization of someone’s commercial enterprise.

“Suddenly, all the stuff is gone,” Morgan said, giving credence to the theory that a very small minority has been using Goodie’s for commercial purposes and saying that he has heard the same rumors iterated in a letter to the editor written by Jack Stephenson — one of the people who began the program some 30 years ago.

Stephenson asked selectmen at last night’s meeting to reopen Goodie’s six days a week, but appeared mollified when Morgan assured him that for those who need access to something from the shed, one phone call and the attendant will allow them in.

He also objected to the five items a day limit, but that Morgan said that would stay, but again if an emergency circumstance required it be waived, that could be arranged. People can still donate things six days a weeks.

In recent years and triggered largely by rising metal prices and the advent of online sales sites like e-Bay, the adage that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure has taken on new meaning and in its wake brought some difficulties to municipalities who have tried to maintain

the intended purpose of swap houses — letting local people find usefulness in still working items that some other resident no longer wants or needs.

In Meredith, the town’s decision to stop people from rummaging through the metal pile for liability and insurance purposes morphed into a controversy about all so-called “dump picking” that still has some residents rankled.

Not in Gilford.

“Initially we allowed people to go through the metal pile to look for parts but, in cooperation with our insurer we put a stop to that practice a few years ago,” Morgan said.

He said when Goodie’s initially began, the town did their best to ensure items left at the shack were usable and practical. He said they initially even wrestled with the idea of not allowing used electrical items, like blenders and air conditioners, but went with a disclaimer instead.

“We’ve helped families victimized by fire get back on their feet, provided warm clothing for children whose parents recently lost jobs, and helped people get free items they otherwise couldn’t afford,” Morgan said, adding volunteers still come to Goodie’s weekly to put the clothes on hangers and give some order to the usable items.

“By and large, selectmen have endorsed this earlier philosophy and backed the initial intent,” he continued.

Unfortunately, Morgan said, “the world has changed and the worth becomes a sale item, not necessarily something for the family.”

He said selectmen are “very cognizant” of how the public would view limiting public access to Goodie’s on Saturday’s only but said he believes the decision is in keeping with the initial intent of the program. Last night Selectman’s Chair Gus Benavides said the issue with the resident taking all of the things from Goodies for resale has been resolved.

Morgan also said that if someone is having a hard time and needs access to Goodie’s during the week, to call the office and he will make the necessary arrangements.

In addition, the transaction must be approved by the governor and executive council. The legislation specifies that the sale must close by May 1, 2013 and the proceeds deposited in the revenue stabilization reserve account, or “rainy day” fund.

Unlike Nassau, which buckled under the debt it assumed to buy the stations, Binnie said that the transaction will close without borrowed money. “We’re doing it the old fashioned way,” he said. “with equity and no debt.” He said that during his 30 years in business he has managed “a lot of different turnarounds and there is no secret formula. It’s hard work, attention to detail, commitment to employees and customers,” he continued. “I’m highly confident we can achieve financial success, but I understand it won’t be overnight.”

(R-Nashua) to the committee of conference. The Senate will be represented by Senators David Boutin (R-Hooksett), Syvia Larsen (D-Concord) and James Rausch (R-Derry).

All the conferees from both the House and the Senate are members of the Long Rang Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, which must approve the sale of the property.

Chandler has expressed his opposition to selling the property. He has questioned the appraised value and noted that the sale would require relocating a facility housing individuals with developmental disabilities or acquired brain disorders found to have committed sexual offenses and to pose a risk to public safety. The cost of moving the facility is estimated to top $1-million.

A meeting of the committee of conference has yet to be scheduled.

Jeff Shapiro, the principal of Vertical Capital Partners is the president of Great Eastern Radio, LLC and Border Broadcasting, Inc., which own radio stations in the Upper Valley and Vermont. He could not be reached for comment and Binnie declined to discuss the arrangements between the two in his absence.

However, Binnie said that among other stations WLNH-FM, with a “Hot AC,” or adult contemporary, format and WJYY-FM, a top 40 station, both serving the Lakes Region and Concord from Gilford, WFNQ-FM (106.3) of Nashua, airing classic hits, and WTHT-FM (99.9), “the Wolf,” of Portland, Maine will join his stable.

The acquisitions are Binnie’s first foray into radio. In 2011 he purchased two low-power television stations, WYCN-LP in Nashua and WZMY-TV in Derry, changing its call letters to WBINTV. Last year, TVNewsCheck, a trade website, reported that Binnie described WBIN-TV as “the cornerstone” of the company he was creating.

ALUMNI from page 2 caused others,” the Harvard Alumni Association said in a statement Wednesday evening.

A Harvard spokesman said the update was submitted by Kaczynski but could not immediately say how the university confirmed that. A message seeking comment was left with Kaczynski’s attorney.

Kaczynski is a Harvard-trained mathematician who also got master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan.

He lived as a recluse in a Montana cabin, railed against technology and led authorities on the nation’s longest and costliest manhunt. He was caught in 1996 when his brother recognized his idiosyncratic writings and tipped off authorities.

Kaczynski pleaded guilty two years later to avoid a trial at which his lawyer had planned to offer an insanity defense. The guilty plea also saved him from the death penalty.

Items seized from his cabin were auctioned last year by the U.S. Marshals Service for more than $200,000 to benefit his victims. from preceding page assets will give us the scale, breadth and depth to collect and deliver news, information and entertainment to New Hampshire listeners,” Binnie said.

“This is all about local ownership and management of the media that serves our local communities.”

Binnie stressed his “absolutely 100-percent commitment” to maintaining the relationship between WLNH-FM and the annual Children’s Auction, a fixture in the Lakes Region for the past 26 years.

He indicated that he would like to develop a similar event in other communities reached by his stations.

“That commitment is important to me, both personally and professionally.”

Started by Warren Bailey when he was a disc jockey at WLNH, the Chiildren’s Auction is now a separate nonprofit corporation managed by an independent board of directors. Aucton programming is simultaneously broadcast on both WLNH and Lakes Region Public Access TV. “We are looking forward to preserving jobs and providing good jobs,” Binnie said, adding that employment at WBIN-TV has tripled since he acquired the station.

“Our goal is to become the preeminent media company in New Hampshire,” Binnie declared,”and it is a huge head start to buy this cluster of radio stations.” He remarked that for too long there has been too little competition among local media outlets. “We need more voices,” he said, “and we will be part of that group that brings more voices.”

DIRTY AIR DUCTS ARE A HEALTH HAZZARD

Regular Saturday morning auctions will be part of the Laconia/Gilford scene now

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Less than six months after David Byer opened Capital City Pawn Brokers on Union Avenue in Laconia, he is preparing to launch a second business down the road and across the town line. Lakes Region Auction Services, Inc., is the new venture, filling what Byer sees as a void in the marketplace. On Saturday at 10 a.m., when the company holds its first auction, it will be the only regular auction house operating in the region. Auctions will be held in the plaza known as One Gilford Place, located next door to China Bistro.

As Byer explained, the auction house was always part of the plan he and his silent partner developed when prior to opening the pawn brokerage in November of last year.

“This was one of our thoughts as far as liquidation,” Byer said. “The pawns and the buys pretty much come to us. What do you do with all these items you buy? You need an outlet to get rid of these things.” He has other reasons, too. “Reason B is, I love auctions. Third is, I love auctions.” He thinks he’s not the only one who likes to see things pass

Starting May 26, Lakes Region Auction Services will host auctions every other Saturday at 10 a.m.

In addition to items that he’s acquired through the pawn brokerage, Byer said the auction house will sell items on a consignment basis. He would be willing to auction off nearly anything. “We are always looking for quality items,” he said. “We have the resources to sell your one item to a whole estate, and everything in between.”

Sixers force game 7 by beating Celtics 82-75 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jrue Holiday scored 20 points, and Elton Brand had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the tough-and-determined Philadelphia 76ers past the Celtics, 82-75 on Wednesday night to send the Eastern Conference semifinals back to Boston for Game 7.

No team has won consecutive games in a series where neither team has played well enough to seize control.

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo could be playing their last game together Saturday night if they can’t find a way to hang onto the ball and put away a Sixers team that won’t quit.

Former 76ers All-Star Allen Iverson earned a roaring standing ovation when he presented the game ball. By the end, the fans were on their feet for Holiday, Brand and Andre Iguodala for keeping the eighthseeded Sixers alive for at least one more game.

The Celtics posted ugly numbers across the board: Blame the loss on the 33 percent shooting, the 17 turnovers or the 3 for 14 3-point shooting. Either way, there’s enough to go around.

Pierce had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Garnett had 20 points and 11 boards.

The Sixers again failed to put up the sparkling numbers in the box score usually required for a deep postseason run. They missed 8 of 9 3-pointers, shot a woeful 17 of 28 from the free throw line and had 12 turnovers.

But when the Sixers really needed that gamechanging basket, there was Evan Turner twisting and fighting through defenders down the lane. When the Sixers needed a stop, there was Brand, ripping a rebound away from Boston, even with painful neck and shoulder injuries that keep him awake at night.

The Sixers wrote “Huddle Up and Fight” on their locker room chalkboard.

They did just that and are now one win away from reaching the conference finals for the first time since 2001.

Iverson was the MVP of that run.

Maybe a little of that ol’ A.I. magic rubbed off in Game 6.

Unlike Game 5, when the Sixers collapsed in the third quarter and blew a lead, they suddenly found

a groove in front of 20,403 fans.

The Sixers started hitting free throws, kept turnovers to a minimum (two), and fed the ball to a starting lineup that had been largely outproduced by a fantastic bench.

Turner was fouled on a go-ahead layup but missed from the line. That made the Sixers 5 of 13 while the Celtics were 14 for 14.

Iguodala split two defenders and threw down a ferocious dunk over Pierce to draw the foul. He made his first free throw after missing his first four and the Sixers led by five.

Pierce led the parade to the line for the Boston. He made his first 11 attempts for a Celtics team that was 17 for 17 through three quarters. The Celtics made only 19 field goals through three.

The Sixers also couldn’t find their way from the 3-point line and missed their first six attempts until Iguodala nailed one for a 58-52 lead.

Garnett caught some heat after calling Philly fans “fair weather” after Game 5 in Boston.

Well, the forecast called for thunderous cheers after Iguodala buried his 3.

That helped the Sixers take a 60-56 lead into the fourth and put them 12 minutes away from Game 7.

This time, the Sixers weren’t blowing a lead.

Turner, who never met a clutch attempt he didn’t like, went right-to-left on a drive down the lane for a nine-point lead. The 6-foot-4 Holiday brushed off the 4-inch difference and went high over Garnett for a one-handed bucket and an 11-point lead.

While the Sixers swapped shot makers on almost every possession, the Celtics never found that third and fourth option behind Pierce and Garnett.

Rajon Rondo had tortured the Sixers over the first five games, but was limited to nine points (4 for 14 shooting) and six assists.

Iguodala and Turner scored 12 points. Lou Williams had 11.

Coach Doug Collins had the Sixers watch a highlight video from Game 7 of the 1982 Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday. The Sixers blew a 3-1 lead in that series and were forced to win Game 7 at Boston to reach the finals — which they did.

Nick Johnson’s second homer of the game, against Andrew Miller with a man on in the sixth, got Baltimore to 5-4. But Podsednik hit a solo shot in the eighth for a two-run cushion.

Acquired from Philadelphia on May 11 and summoned from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, Podsednik got two hits in his first start with Boston.

“It’s good to get back and get my first start, contribute and get a couple runs,” he said.

Wilson Betemit hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth off Vicente Padilla, and Alfredo Aceves got four straight outs for his 11th save in 13 chances.

And after that, the Red Sox began looking forward to a well-deserved day off.

“Amazing effort by a group of fabulous professionals who played through a lot of adversity — time zones, weather, travel,” Valentine said. “They did one heck of a job winning the last two series. Going home at .500 is a feather in their cap.”

Boston starter Daniel Bard (4-5) allowed two runs, five hits and four walks in 5 1-3 innings.

Johnson’s first multihomer game since May 28, 2006, was not enough to prevent the first-place Orioles from losing for the third time in four games.

With the potential tying run on second base in the eighth, Johnson ended the inning with a strikeout.

Talking about his homers, Johnson said, “Fastballs. Got some pitches. They were in the middle of the plate and I put some good swings on it.”

Regarding the eighth inning, he said, “The last at-bat ... I just couldn’t come through.”

Arrieta gave up four runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. He’s winless in four starts since May 2.

“Well, I think four out of my six innings I allowed the leadoff guy on base,” the right-hander said.

“When you’re pitching with a guy on and no outs to start off an inning, you put yourself in a tight situation.”

Red Sox hit 3 homers in 6-5 win over Orioles BALTIMORE (AP) — Sporting a lineup top-heavy with sluggers, the Boston Red Sox got the power they needed from the bottom third of their batting order in a feel-good win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Daniel Nava and Kelly Shoppach hit sixth-inning homers to turn a tie game in Boston’s favor, and newcomer Scott Podsednik also connected to help carry the Red Sox to a 6-5 victory Wednesday.

Nava batted seventh, Podsednik eighth and Shoppach last. The trio won’t make anyone forget the homerun power of David Ortiz, Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis, but on this day they combined to go 6 for 9 with three homers, four RBIs and four runs.

The victory enabled the Red Sox to finish a grueling stretch of 20 games in 20 days with an 11-9 record, and thrust them back to .500 (22-22). Boston took two of three from the Orioles, who were seeking to win a fourth straight series against the Red Sox for the first time since 1960.

“The top part of the lineup has been doing so much work in 20 days, they were a little under the (weather) today,” manager Bobby Valentine said.

“The bottom third, (hitting coach) Dave Magadan has done such a fabulous job, we said, ‘Let’s leave it to those guys to do it.’ And they did.”

It was 2-all in the sixth before Nava drove a 2-0 pitch from Jake Arrieta (2-5) over the right-field wall. Podsednik followed with a single, and Shoppach greeted Luis Ayala with a drive to left.

Nava and Shoppach each doubled their home run total for the season; the pair also connected on May 14 against Seattle.

Valentine revealed that the seldom-used Shoppach had griped about his lack of action less than 24 hours earlier.

“Let it be known he came in yesterday and wondered why he wasn’t playing. He left angry,” Valentine said. “I like him playing when he’s angry, I guess.”

Commission decides to close BB courts each night at 8 LACONIA — The Parks and Recreation Commission this week unanimously agreed to lock the basketball courts at Wyatt, Tardif and Sanborn parks at 8 p.m. and reopen them at 8 a.m.

For some time the basketball courts, particularly the court at Wyatt Park, have been a source of controversy. Neighbors have complained about the noise coming from the court late at night as well as about the behavior and language of some of those using the court. The police have acknowledged that the court at Wyatt Park has been the scene of drug trafficking.

The current rules prescribe that all municipal parks, including Wyatt Park, close at 10 p.m., but did not specify when the parks open. Commissioner George

Hawkins offered the motion, which was endorsed by his colleagues Dave Plourde and Mitch Hamel, to amend the rules to set the hours of the three parks with basketball courts from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Parks and Recreation Department is considering four draft plans for reconfiguring Wyatt Park, one of which would make no change to the basketball court, two that would relocate it further from nearby homes and a fourth that would shrink it by half and move to the north side of the park. At a well attended public meeting earlier this month the overwhelming majority favored keeping the court, but at the same time acknowledged that the problems associated with it must be addressed.

EGYPT from page 2 live better, like human beings.” He later came out flashing a finger stained with the blue ink used to prevent multiple voting. “Mubarak’s policies gave me cancer,” he said, referring to the decline in health care under the last regime. “Now I got my revenge.”

Adding to the drama, this election is up in the air.

The reliability of polls is uncertain, and four of the 13 candidates have bounced around the top spots, leaving no clear front-runner. None is likely to win outright in Wednesday and Thursday’s balloting, so the top two vote-getters enter a run-off June 16-17, with the victor announced June 21.

The two secular front-runners are both veterans of Mubarak’s regime — former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq and former foreign minister Amr Moussa.

The main Islamist contenders are Mohammed Morsi of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood and Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh, a moderate Islamist whose inclusive platform has won him the support of some liberals, leftists and minority Christians.

The debate went right up to the doorsteps of schools around the country where poll stations were set up.

Some voters backed Mubarak-era veterans, believing they can bring stability after months of rising crime, a crumbling economy and bloody riots. Others were horrified by the thought, believing the “feloul” — or “remnants” of the regime — will keep Egypt locked in dictatorship and thwart democracy.

Islamists, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, saw their chance to lead a country where they were repressed for decades and to implement their version of Islamic law. Their critics recoiled, fearing theocracy.

Some saw an alternative to both in a leftist candidate, Hamdeen Sabahi, who has claimed the mantle of Egypt’s first president, the populist Gamal AbdelNasser.

An Islamist victory, particularly by Morsi, will likely mean a greater emphasis on religion in government. His Muslim Brotherhood, which already dominates parliament, says it won’t mimic Saudi Arabia and force women to wear veils or implement harsh punishments like amputations. But it says it does want to implement a more moderate version of Islamic law, which liberals fear will mean limitations on many rights.

HAZING from page 2 pion’s killing and other band members released Wednesday paint the most detailed picture yet of what happened the night he died last November.

They also offer some insight into why Champion, whose parents and friends say he was a vocal opponent of hazing, finally relented and got aboard “Bus C,” the band’s notorious venue for hazing after its performances during FAMU football games.

Champion was seeking the top position in the famed marching band, leading dozens who had already endured the hazing ritual. The Marching 100 has performed at Super Bowls and presidential inauguration parades, and some felt the leadership position had to be earned.

“It’s a respect thing, you know,” defendant Jonathan Boyce told detectives. “Well, he was wanting to do it all ... all season.”

What awaited him was a punishing scrum in which about 15 people pushed, struck, kicked and grabbed at participants as they tried to wade down the aisle from the bus’s driver seat to touch the back wall, according to the interviews. One witness said bigger band members waited at the back to make the final few steps the most difficult. Several others who went through it said the ordeal leaves participants dizzy and breathless at a minimum.

After finishing the ordeal, Champion vomited and complained of trouble breathing. He soon fell unconscious and couldn’t be revived.

Local volunteers shave their heads to support St. Baldrick’s Foundation & childhood cancer research

GILFORD —It takes a community to cure childhood cancer. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research, will host one of its signature head-shaving events at Gilford Community Center- Potter Hill Road in the Village on June 2, where more than 50 shavees (and Jeremy O’Neill (Courtesy the number is growing photo) every day) will shave their heads in solidarity with kids with cancer and raise money for life-saving children’s cancer research.

Why all the shaved heads? Worldwide, more than 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year, and it remains the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. With only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s Foundation grant funds are critical to continue the battle against this devastating disease.

This is the eighth event to be held in Gilford and to date they have shaved 846 heads, raising $323,611.30 for St Baldrick’s. The event also col-

lects hair for Locks for Love, hosts the American Red Cross Blood Mobile and has signed up people to be bone marrow donors.

The Gilford community as well as several other towns in the Lakes Region has been hit hard by pediatric cancer cases. These illnesses have ranged from brain tumors, to leukemia, to rhabdomyosarcoma.

Some of the children have won their battle with cancer, but others have not. Every dollar that is raised goes right back to the St Baldrick’s organization. Money raised is then given to research hospitals all over the country, including Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, where some of our Gilford kids currently being treated.

Kancer Killerz is just one of teams registered or the event in honor of Joe Sawyer, who is recovering from a brain tumor, and Bryce Hanover, who is being treated for leukemia. Jeremy O’Neill, a student at Gilmanton Elementary school, is busily raising funds and awareness in his school, all while undergoing treatment for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia at DHMC. There will be a raffle and silent auction as part of the activities and local businesses, who have been extremely generous over the years, are being solicited for donations. Among the donated items are race tickets to NH Motor Speedway, NH Fishercat tickets, Manchester Monarchs tickets, a beautiful granite birdbath donated by Swenson Granite Works along with many restaurant gift cards.

Franklin plans for annual Youth Government Week Holy Trinity sends 4 students to compete in National History Day FRANKLIN — Franklin Youth Government Week May 29-31 will see city officials, Franklin Elks Lodge #1280, and Franklin High School team up to continue a nearly half century tradition.

The Youth and Government week was established here in Franklin over 48 years ago. This program provides a unique civic engagement and service learning opportunity that offers high school students the chance to serve in a model local government process.

Students are elected to the various city government positions before kickoff which is set this year at City Hall on Tuesday, May 29 at 12:15 p.m. at which students will get an overview of city government from City Manager Elizabeth Dragon, City department heads and guest speakers, including Franklin’s Mayor Ken Merrifield and legislative representatives.

Wednesday students will begin the task of learning about their new role and responsibilities. Over the next two days students will be given a situation in their respective departments to bring forward at the “Mock City Council Meeting” held Thursday evening.

The real test comes Thursday evening at the Elks lodge where students will have prepared an agenda

and council packets with completed action reports.

These students will show case all they have learned and make their case to the elected city council!

Those playing the role of City council will ask questions and the audience, including many parents and members of the real city council and mayor, will see it all unfold. All this happens after a dinner put on by the Elks organization for all participants and their families. The evening concludes with formal recognition of each student.

“This longstanding tradition of youth involved in city government is important to carry on” said Dragon. “It continues to be an opportunity for all three organizations (The Elks, City, and the School) to work together to provide a real life experience for students to not only learn about government but to also be part of it. Sometimes students give us an entirely different perspective and we as city officials, like the students, get a chance to learn and grow-it is a win-win for everyone”.

Dragon said that she is grateful for all the Franklin Elks organization does in the community.

“They are a very active organization throughout the year. They are involved the Mayor’s drug task force and efforts to keep our youth engaged.’’ said Dragon.

A second place award was given to Madison Vickery, of Belmont and Caitlin Mallahan, of Laconia, for their documentary about Dorothea Dix and the Asylum Movement. Taking third place for their webpage about the Battle of the Sexes tennis match between Billy Jean King and Bobby Riggs were Katie DeRoche of Meredith, and Madelyn Griffeth of Gilmanton.

The four first and second place winners will be heading to the national competition on June 10-14 at the University of Maryland. The girls are very excited about representing their school, towns and state, and are currently trying to raise money to help defray their expenses.

Comfort Keepers of Central NH has new owners LACONIA – A private agency supporting independent living for the aging population of central and northern New Hampshire is now under new ownership.

Comfort Keepers of Central New Hampshire, which provides non-medical, privately-funded home care and assistance to residents of 78 communities stretching from Laconia to Lebanon and north to the Notches, has been sold by Through the Woods, Inc. of Campton to Swats Ventures, Inc. Maundy Mitchell, owner and administrator, sold the company on Monday, May 14 to Martha Swats, another New Hampshire resident. The sale and transition were coordinated by New Hampshire Business Sales, and its Business Transition Strategies Director John Howe.

Swats said she is retaining all current manage-

ment personnel as well as caregivers and homemakers, so clients should see no change in the service they receive.

“Maundy set a fine example for providing quality care for our clients, and a good work environment for the staff, and I intend to continue this,” said Swats, who just returned from an intensive training program at the Comfort Keepers’ national office in Dayton, Ohio.

The agency is licensed by the State of New Hampshire, and is part of the Comfort Keepers national franchise system. It employs approximately 45 people living in Belknap, Carroll and Grafton counties. In addition to private care and homemaking, the agency also works with veterans under contract with the Veterans Administration. It has offices in Campton and Lebanon.

The Faith, Hope and Love Foundation announces four recipients of college scholarships

LACONIA —The Faith, Hope and Love Foundation presented its 2012 College Scholarship Awards in front of a large crowd of supporters at the 6th Annual Benefit Dinner on Saturday, April 28. This year the foundation was able to give out two $1,000 college scholarships, a $500 Book Award and a $150 book award.

The foundation has been awarding scholarships since 2007. Award recipients are chosen based off of service to school and community, character recommendations, G.PA, financial need and an interview with the Foundation.

The $1,000 scholarships went to Lauren O’Shea of Moultonborough and Sarah Richards of Laconia. The book awards were presented to Angeline Jacques of Nashua and Morgan Chalue of Dover.

O’Shea is a senior at Moultonborough Academy and she credits much of her success thus far to the guid-

ance and support from her family, especially her mother, Karen. She is involved in her community participating as a volunteer for the Moultonborough Recreation Department, a student mentor and also as Vice President of her school’s chapter of National Honor Society. She spends much of her free time dancing at Meredith Bay Dance Academy and was captain of her varsity soccer team in the fall. Lauren will be attending Boston College in the fall with a major in nursing.

Sarah Richards is an active student involved with many groups including National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society and Interact Club. She was recently recognized for being a NH Interscholastic Athletic Recipient, playing both volleyball and tennis and received honorable mention for the Alliance For Young Writers. She has volunteered her time with many projects both in school and within the community including Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and Breathe New Hampshire. She will be studying Marine Biology at the University of New Hampshire in the fall. She is currently taking advantage of a Pharmacy Internship at Lakes Region General Hospital.

Angeline Jacques from Nashua will be studying architecture this fall at either Princeton University or Syracuse University.

Morgan Chalue is a senior at Dover High School and he will be majoring in Vocal Performance next fall at Boston University.

The Faith, Hope and Love Foundation President and Co-Founder Laura Brusseau said that these four individuals are fantastic representations of the Faith, Hope and Love Foundation. The foundation is a N.H. non profit established in 2006 and its mission is to bring relief to children and youth suffering from poverty, hunger or homelessness and to bring them hope, through faith and love, so that they may accomplish all of their dreams.

MEREDITH — The Greater Meredith Program will sponsor the “All-America Selections Display Garden” in front of the Meredith Public Library on Main Street.

This is the 8th year that the Meredith Public Library garden has been designated as one of the more than 200 All-America Selections (AAS) Display Gardens that are grown across North America.

An All-America Selections (AAS) Display Garden

provides the public an opportunity to view the new AAS winners in an attractive well-maintained setting.

The garden was created in 2005 as part of the “America in Bloom” competition and earned the Town of Meredith a first place award.

These gardens are dedicated to growing AAS winner plants in an attractive outdoor setting that is open to the public. All-America Selections lists

CAP helps distribute food to local pantries

LACONIA — For over 30 years New Hampshire Community Action Agencies have been diligently working with local community food pantries providing them with regular shipments of USDA foods to help feed families in need.

At no cost and staffed mostly by volunteers, Community Action warehouses, organizes, directs and distributes millions of pounds of food to local food pantries located throughout the state.

It is this local network of food pantries in each community that in turn provides nutritious food to local families that need a helping hand.

Friends of Meredith Park and Recreation donate to Childs Park project

MEREDITH — Talks about improving Childs Park on Meredith Center Road in Meredith Center date back to 1985 but the most earnest effort began just 2 ½ years ago when the seed of the idea turned into a reality.

Starting in 2009 the voters at that years’ town meeting approved the creation of the Parks and Recreation Improvements Fund and appropriated $25,000, part of that money went into the surveying and wetlands delineation of the property.

In 2010 the voters at town meeting agreed with the Capital Improvements Committee and added $60,000 to the fund. Meredith resident, Lou Kahn, made a very generous donation of $30,000 on behalf of his wife Bobby Smyth.

Friends of Meredith Parks and Rec through fundraising raised a total of $19,497.67 through the generosity of a number of businesses, community organizations and individuals.

Paula Trombi, president of the Friends group says “It isn’t just the dollars donated it was the sweat,

Accepting a check from Friends of Meredith Park & Recreation are (from left to right): Selectman, Nate Torr; President, Paula Trombi; Vice President, Tami Carpentiere, and Selectwoman Carla Horne.

labor and materials given by individuals, the Meredith Rotary , public works, the water dept. and the

Parks and Rec that made it all possible.

“This has been a wonderfully successful project and a true partnership of residents, local businesses, community organizations, individuals and the select board. It may sound trite but the Margaret Mead quote so often referred to is very appropriate for this project. ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.’ ‘’ Trombi urges those who have not had a chance to visit the playground to “drop in with your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews. They will have a blast swinging on the tire swing, climbing, and going down the “roller” slide.”

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 24, 2012— Page 25

NLRA and Newfound Grocery partner for volunteer kickoff event BRIDGEWATER — Newfound area residents signed up for volunteer tasks and learned the plans for watershed protection from the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) last week.

Holly Kerouac and Newfound Grocery hosted the event and provided delicious food.

The NLRA’s mission is to protect Newfound Lake and its 61,256 acre watershed. The association, through education, programs and collaboration, promotes conservation and preservation of the region’s natural, social and economic resources.

LRA Program Director Nikki Wooster-Goodwin explained how Lake Hosts educate boaters and inspect craft at Wellington State Park to prevent invasive species from entering Newfound Lake and intercepted one invader in 2011.

Newfound remains invasive free due to diligent Lake Host volunteers and staff. Infestation by species such as exotic milfoil can clog swimming areas, drive off native plants and animals, and ultimately cause property values to plummet.

Alexandria resident and Newfound EcoTours educator Kate Mausolf described the fish- eye view experience that Eco-Tours provides on their new pontoon boat. Eco-Tour passengers can test water, learn about ecology, and be in the heart of one of the most pristine watersheds in New England. Tours run all summer, departing from NH Audubon’s Paradise Point Nature Center in Hebron. Contact Nikki at 744-8689 or NLRA. Nikki@Metrocast.net to schedule Newfound Eco-Tour.

Bob Craycraft, UNH Cooperative Extension, who with NLRA volunteers has analyzed water quality from Newfound’s streams for twenty years, talked about the 40 in-Lake and stream sampling locations used to monitor water quality.

Based on concentrations of phosphorus, the nutrient most responsible for plant growth in Newfound, the Lake remains incredibly clean. Small, part-perbillion changes in phosphorus concentrations can cause significant impacts to the aquatic ecosystem, and there are disturbing trends indicating human activities are hurting water quality. Using data from Tropical Storm Irene, Lake clarity declined by nearly 80% and Bob noted this decline was greater than similar

storms from the previous twenty years. Long-term, continued monitoring by the NLRA shows the effects of land use and climate on water quality, providing a scientific basis for policy and actions. 2012 marks the 26th consecutive year the NLRA volunteers have monitored Newfound Lake water quality.

Using this water quality data, Bob’s Cooperative Extension colleague Jeff Schloss, is building a numerical model of the watershed to better understand Newfound’s response to changes in phosphorus concentrations, and where to prioritize efforts to fight further degradation.

Steve Whitman, land use planner with Jeffrey

H. Taylor & Associates and Dan Sundquist, Director of Land Conservation Planning for the Forest Society, spoke about the changing demographics in the watershed and how they are working with Town Planning Boards to craft effective tools to manage inevitable growth, noting that the Newfound area population is older than the state average, with fewer persons per household. .

Copies of NLRA’s presentations can be found at www.NewfoundLake.org under Watershed Master Plan. Explore volunteer opportunities by contacting Nikki at 744-8689 or NLRA.Nikki@Metrocast.net.

put your mind to it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be the fix-it person. Regardless of where the blame should go, you’ll step up, assess the situation and begin repairs. If the broken thing is a relationship, you’ll find common ground and build from there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You may find yourself at a loss for words, but that doesn’t matter. What the world really needs more of is your superb smile. Your just being happy is a gift to the others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Technology makes the world more accessible to you, and it also makes you more accessible to the world. You’ll hear from people you never thought would reach out to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be susceptible to the influence of overly excited or worried people. If you have to be around tension, take a deep breath and count your exhale as “number one.”

By “number 10,” you’ll return to being in total control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be focused on a goal. Be sure to note when you’ve achieved it, as it’s something to celebrate. Noting your accomplishments isn’t egotistical. It gives you the fuel to aim for future successes.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 24). It’s a year for advancing your personal interests and exploring your talents. From the start of June, you realize that you have a knack for finding the best opportunities.

As long as you follow through, you will succeed. July focuses you on love and all you do for others. September brings a lifestyle upgrade. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 34, 1, 17 and 40.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will help you to allow yourself a bit of leisure time at the end of each activity. This paves the way for a smooth transition and keeps your overall stress level low, which, by the way, is very attractive to others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Experience has taught you much, but memories could teach you even more if you let them. Reflecting back on a situation will add new layers of insight and perhaps even bring you a glorious “aha!” moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be at home in the world. It doesn’t matter which section of it you are traveling; it’s all yours today. But don’t tell the others.

They’ll only be jealous. Instead, revel privately in the knowledge that this is your time.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The one in charge sees something in you, and all you have to do is more of what you’ve been doing. Remember the old adage, and “don’t sell it when it’s already sold.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In order to play your cards right, it helps to know the rules. You’ll do whatever it takes to improve your game. You’ll learn nuances that go beyond the rules and educate yourself to the particular culture of the other players.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You sometimes see without being aware of what you’re seeing because it’s too complicated, unpleasant or boring for your eyes to take in. Today you’ll be vividly attuned to the full array of images, and you won’t miss a thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are safer than 99 percent of all humanity that has ever lived. The biggest threat to you is stress -- and that’s something you can manage if you put your mind to it. So do

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My father and I have never had the best relationship. He was domineering, controlling and verbally abusive to me as a teenager, and as a result, I rebelled and did things specifically to irritate him. Several times, he kicked me out of the house, saying I forced him to behave the way he did. I always apologized because it was easier if I kept the peace.

Three years ago, my parents separated. Just before Mom and I moved out, Dad and I got into a huge argument, and he nearly punched me. I did not speak to him for six months.

Since then, there’s been a thaw in our relationship. He even apologized (which he never does) and seemed more understanding. When I saw him at Christmas, we had a great time together.

However, he hasn’t spoken to me since then. There was no fight or argument. I’ve tried to call him several times to make plans or just talk, and he has ignored my calls and doesn’t respond to my voicemails. He broke every coffee date I made, and instead of telling me, he informed my brother or mom that he couldn’t make it.

Dad is obviously avoiding me, but I have no idea why. I’m tired of his imaginary issues and “nobody loves me” attitude.

Should I confront him and find out why he stopped talking to me or forget him? -- Confused and Exhausted Dear Confused: Your relationship with your father is tenuous, and it’s possible that maintaining his equilibrium around you is stressful for him. And although his behavior may be difficult, your response likely has its flaws, too. If you want to know what’s going on, please ask your mother or brother to intercede on your behalf and find out whether you have unintentionally done something to aggravate the relationship and how you can repair it. Learning to get along with someone

who pushes all your buttons requires ongoing effort. Since it’s your father, we think it’s worth another try.

Dear Annie: I am boiling mad. My boyfriend has an adult son who is autistic. After he and his ex separated, she started telling the son horrible lies about both of us.

The son believes her and now wants nothing to do with his father or me. The boy used to speak to us, but now runs the other way when he sees us coming.

What can we do about this? Please don’t say talk to the exwife. She is the source of the problem. My boyfriend is paying child support but doesn’t get to spend any time with his son.

Also, we suspect little of the money is going for the child’s benefit. -- The Girlfriend Dear Girlfriend: Since your boyfriend is still paying child support, he may be entitled to regularly enforced visitation with his son. Also, some courts are beginning to recognize and address parental alienation. Please suggest to your boyfriend that he discuss his options with a lawyer who has experience in this area.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Jim in Peoria,” who has been married for 42 years and his wife won’t “allow” him to do any of the household chores.

I am thoroughly appalled that men do not stand up for themselves, all in the name of keeping peace in the house.

I am a divorced man. This woman should be thankful her husband wants to do something to balance out the chores.

Nobody could tell me I couldn’t wash dishes, cook or do anything else in my own house. He has just as much of a right to do what he wants in that house as she does. Walking around on eggshells in your own home is NOT worth a marriage certificate. -- Danny in Shreveport

on the ancient sport of archery and fueled interest across the country in picking up a bow and arrow.

The movie’s heroine, Katniss Everdeen, has helped bump the sport to the forefront of pop culture. With the Olympics just around the corner and two sequels planned from the book trilogy by Suzanne Collins, it seems the sport has found its bull’s-eye.

“We’re really excited about that because archery has been a sport that we’ve struggled with, some of the interest in it, but this year it has just exploded,” said Nichols, 28 and the world’s 29th-ranked female archer. She will find out in early June if she’s going to her third Olympics this summer.

USA Archery saw its website traffic climb more than 30 percent in March, when the film was released, compared with March 2011. The organization has gained thousands of new Facebook fans and Twitter followers in the past 12 months as readers have devoured the trilogy.

Monday tweeted to the NBA superstar: “we’d love to get you some (hash)archery lessons if you want to try another (hash)Olympic sport!”

Archery is hip right now. Disney’s animated “Brave” is due out in June, the box office smash “The Avengers” featured an archer and CW Television Network’s show “Arrow” debuts this fall. USA Archery said its youth divisions — girls more than boys — have shown the fastest growth, all of which bodes well for the sport’s future. Some could excel and help propel the U.S. into more consistent performances on a world stage in the years ahead.

“The exposure to the sport of archery from Hollywood has been a big boost for everyone involved in our sport,” said Denise Parker, a bronze medal winner in the team event at the 1988 Seoul Games and now chief executive officer of USA Archery. “What would be really great is to someday see a ‘Hunger Games,’ ‘Brave’ or ‘Avengers’-inspired archer make it to the Olympics.”
