Key senator sees selling state school to Laconia as right thing to do

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said yesterday that he expects to work closely with

city officials to transfer ownership of the property on North Main Street that once housed the Laconia State School and Lakes Region (prison) Facility to Laconia.

“This is an opportunity for

the state and the city to work together to achieve an outcome in the best interests of both,” Morse said. He said that although the state no longer has use for the property, its maintenance represents an

ongoing drain on the state budget. “City officials have expressed an interest in the property and begun to explore ways of transferring it,” Morse continued. “I am hopeful we see statE sChOOL page 11

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Elizabeth Smart finally got her chance Wednesday to confront the street preacher convicted of holding her captive and raping her for months when she was just 14.

Now 23, she stood tall in the courtroom — stoic, with an even voice and a strength Brian David Mitchell clearly lacked.

Mitchell, frail and skinny with a long, peppery white beard, sang hymns softly and closed his hollow eyes, just as he did throughout his trial, just as he would moments later as the judge gave him two life sentences without parole. That did not stop Smart from looking right at him and coolly speaking her piece.

It took her about 30 seconds.

“I don’t have very much to say to you.

I know exactly what you did,” said Smart, wearing a houndstooth checked skirt, an ivory jacket and pearls. “I know that you know that what you did was see SMART page 15

Dems savor special election win in ‘red’ district, credit Medicare WASHINGTON (AP) — Jubilant Democrats demanded Republicans abandon their sweeping plans to remake Medicare on Wednesday after casting a House race in upstate New York as a referendum on the popular program and emerging victorious.

“The top three reasons for the election of a Democrat in one of the most conservative Republican districts in America are Medicare, Medicare and Medicare,” declared New York Rep. Steve Israel, chairman of the party’s congressional campaign committee.

House Republicans made little if any attempt to demonstrate widespread sup-

port for their controversial proposal during the day. And the National Republican Congressional Committee offered no explanation for having let hundreds of thousands of dollars in Democratic-funded attacks on the proposed Medicare overhaul go unchallenged in its own television advertising.

GOP officials said the presence of a thirdparty contender and other factors contributed to their unexpected defeat in New York.

They accused Democrats of campaign scare tactics, while the Medicare plan’s author, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., released a five-minute video defending his work.

Under Ryan’s plan, for anyone younger than 55 the basic Medicare program for medical and hospital care would be replaced by a system in which insurance companies would offer coverage while the government contributed toward the cost of premiums. The program would remain unchanged for anyone 55 or older, including millions who currently receive benefits.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The man accused of wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a deadly rampage lowered his head to within inches of the courtroom table Wednesday.

When he lifted it, he began yelling, angry and loud.

Federal marshals had to drag Jared Lee Loughner out of the packed federal courtroom. Minutes later, he was in a nearby room and, over a closed-circuit TV, could watch as U.S. District Judge Larry Burns declared him incompetent to stand trial.

Mental health experts concluded that the 22-year-old college dropout suffers from schizophrenia.

Burns ordered Loughner to a federal facility in Missouri for up to four months, where doctors will try to give him enough treatment to bring him to a point where he understands the case against him.

“You don’t have to be a psychiatrist to know that the boy is disturbed,” said Eric Fuller, who was shot in the knee and the back during the Jan. 8 shooting spree at

a Giffords event outside a Tucson, Ariz., supermarket.

Fuller said he wouldn’t be bothered if Loughner spends the rest of his life in a mental health facility.

“Hinckley has been gone for forever,” Fuller said, referring to John Hinckley Jr., who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan 30 years ago and has since been committed to a psychiatric hospital.

Loughner spent five weeks in March and see SHOOTER page 14

Willis testifies he did not force himself on 15-year-old baby sitter CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire man accused of raping and impregnating his children’s 15-year-old baby sitter in 1997 took the stand in his defense Wednesday, acknowledging he fathered her baby but saying he did not force himself on her.

The case has drawn wide attention because of accusations that the pastor of the Baptist church both attended made the girl apologize to the congregation for getting pregnant out of wedlock, then helped move her to the home of a church family in Colorado and arranged to put the baby up for adoption.

Concord police were forced to shelve their investigation into the rape allegation when they could not locate the girl for questioning. They recently found her through online posts and reopened the case.

Ernest Willis, 52, of Gilford, is charged with three counts of forcible rape for two separate instances. He testified Wednesday that they had sex only once, in her bedroom in June 1997, and that she agreed to it.

She did nothing to discourage him, he testified, saying he would have stopped if she had indicated she did not want to have sex.

“There was no force used,” Willis testified. “Nothing indicated to me by voice, by saying anything to me or defensive actions she did not want it to occur.”

He said he knew the girl was 15 and too young to legally consent.

“I cannot fathom what I was thinking,” said Willis, who was 39 at the time. “I was driven by emotion, by selfishness.”

Willis’ testimony contradicts that of Tina Ander-

son, 29, who says he forcibly raped her in the back seat of his car and again when he visited her home about a month later. Anderson, who lives in Arizona, was not in the courtroom for Willis’ testimony.

The Associated Press typically does not identify those who say they are the victims of sexual assault, but Anderson has agreed to have her name published and has been the subject of extensive media coverage.

Concord police learned of her married name and location through blogs critical of the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church network.

Willis has already pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape, acknowledging the girl was under the legal age of consent. The jury learned during Willis’ testimony about his guilty plea.

Before calling her first witness, and with the jury out of the room, defense attorney Donna Brown asked Superior Court Judge Larry Smukler to dismiss the forcible rape charges.

In arguing that the prosecution had not met its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, Brown cited Anderson’s testimony that she “blocked a lot of things out,” and “believes” she said no.

Smukler left two forcible rape charges in place but said he wanted to read case law before ruling on the third.

Willis testified that there was one instance of sexual intercourse and a second episode that involved only fondling.

On cross-examination, prosecutor Wayne Coull asked whether he pleaded guilty because he was on

record as acknowledging in adoption papers that he fathered the child.

“I pled to that charge because it’s a true charge,” said Willis, who is divorced and has four children. “It did happen, once.”

Coull’s cross-examination of Willis resumes Thursday. The jury is then expected to hear final arguments and begin deliberating the case.

Willis and Anderson both attended Trinity Baptist Church in Concord in 1997.

Anderson testified that then-pastor Chuck Phelps made her stand before the congregation and apologize for getting pregnant out of wedlock.

Phelps on Wednesday disputed a prosecutor’s contention that he presented the girl to the congregation to shame and discipline her.

“This was not a discipline meeting,” Phelps said, characterizing it as an opportunity for Tina Anderson to seek love and support from the several hundred congregants.

Other witnesses have testified that Anderson appeared to be “scared to death” and “pale as a ghost” at the evening church session.

Phelps said that Willis had told him the sex was consensual, and that he thought Anderson “was being very dishonest and had not opened up to me.”

“He said he was the aggressor but that she didn’t protest and he felt it was consensual,” Phelps said of Willis during questioning by Willis’ lawyers.

On Tuesday, Phelps testified only that Willis told him he was the aggressor.

N.H. Senate passes abortion parental notification bill 17-7; will Lynch sign it?

CONCORD (AP) — Legislation to reinstate a requirement for pregnant girls seeking abortions to tell their parents first is headed to the desk of New Hampshire Gov. John Lynn following its passage by the state Senate.

The 17-7 Senate vote Wednesday followed an earlier House vote for the parental notification bill.

Lynch said he would review the bill before decid-

ing what to do “I think parents, as I said, should be involved in decisions like this but at the same time, I think we need to ensure the health and safety of young women. And I’ll be reviewing the legislation when it comes to me very carefully,” Lynch said.

“Fundamentally, this bill is about whether or not we’re going to let a wedge be driven in the parent-

child relationship,” said Sen. Ray White, R-Bedford.

Opponents said the legislation would put some young women from troubled homes at risk.

“I’m especially concerned, as we all should be, that this legislation provides no exception for victims of rape or incest,” said Sen. Sylvia Larsen, D-Concord.

The legislation would require health care providers see next page

Mass. jury acquits Nancy Kerrigan’s brother of responsibility for dad’s death WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — The brother of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was acquitted Wednesday of manslaughter in the death of their 70-year-old father by a jury that apparently agreed with his defense that the elder man died of heart disease, not from a scuffle between the two.

Mark Kerrigan, 46, was convicted, though, of a misdemeanor assault and battery charge in a January 2010 altercation with Daniel Kerrigan at the family’s home in Stoneham, just north of Boston.

Nancy Kerrigan and her mother, Brenda, embraced and cried after the verdict was read; the skater had supported her brother and attended every day of the nine-day trial in Woburn Superior Court.

“My family has never believed at all that my brother had anything to do with my father’s death, and he would — my dad would — never have wanted any of this,” Nancy Kerrigan said outside the courthouse after the verdict, standing with other family members.

Defense attorney Janice Bassil said mother and daughter plan to give victim impact statements when Mark Kerrigan is sentenced Thursday. He faces a maximum 2½ years in a county jail.

“I think they feel some relief,” Bassil said outside court. “This has been an enormous ordeal.”

Another member of the defense team, Hank Brennan, said, “Mark Kerrigan loves his dad and misses his dad, and that really is the foremost thing on his mind.”

Prosecutors said Mark Kerrigan caused his father’s death after he grabbed him around the neck with such force that he broke cartilage in his father’s larynx and triggered heart failure.

Kerrigan’s defense lawyers, however, called medical experts who testified that Daniel Kerrigan had

85 percent to 100 percent blockage of three main coronary arteries and that the cardiac dysrhythmia that killed him likely began before he had any physical interaction with his son.

Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone said the Kerrigan family’s support for Mark Kerrigan made for “complicated dynamics” during the trial and could have been taken into consideration by the jury. Despite the verdict, prosecutors believe Kerrigan caused his father’s death, he said.

“We continue to believe that were it not for the actions of this defendant, we would not be here today and Mr. Kerrigan would not have died in the manner that he did — on the floor of his home,” Leone said at a news conference after the verdict was announced.

“Daniel Kerrigan met a troubling end, but the most sad part of this is the fact that the last face he saw before he died was an angry face of a person who should have loved and protected him, and that’s not what he saw,” Leone said.

The jurors who decided the case could not be reached for comment.

They were not identified in court, and Judge S. Jane Haggerty did not immediately rule Wednesday on a request by media organizations, including The Associated Press, asking for jurors’ names to be released publicly, a common practice after a trial

ends. The judge did not indicate when she would rule on the request.

During the trial, Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Keeley told the jury that despite his coronary artery disease, Daniel Kerrigan had remained physically active up until his death.

She cited testimony from the state’s chief medical examiner, who said there was no doubt in his mind that Daniel Kerrigan died after a physical altercation that sent his heart into a fatal dysrhythmia, a loss or interruption of a normal heartbeat.

“It took this defendant — an angry, mean, nasty, drunk son of his — to take Daniel Kerrigan down, to end his life,” Keeley said during closing arguments.

Brenda Kerrigan testified that she saw her husband grab her son by his shoulders, then saw her son with his arms around his father’s waist in a kind of “bear hug.”

She said the altercation had lasted only seconds when she saw her husband fall to the floor “like a feather coming right out of the sky.”

Nancy Kerrigan won a bronze medal at the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France, and the silver at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.

At the U.S. Championships in 1994, an assailant clubbed her right knee during practice. An investigation revealed that rival Tonya Harding had knowledge of the planning of the attack.

from preceding page to notify parents of females under age 18 who seek an abortion. Providers could be subject to a misdemeanor charge for performing an abortion in violation of the law, which requires 48-hours of notice in person or by certified mail before taking action.

Exceptions exist if a doctor determines the young woman’s life is at risk or if a delay would create “serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily organ.” It also allows a young woman to get a judge’s permission instead of talking to her parents.

Stimulus cash for tax cheats When President Obama signed the trillion-dollar stimulus law in 2009, he proclaimed that he was “keeping the American dream alive in our time.” The stimulator-inchief failed to mention that billions would be spent keeping American tax scammers afloat on our dime.

At a congressional hearing on Tuesday, federal auditors reported on the latest porkulus spending gone wild. According to a new General Accounting Office audit conducted over the past year, nearly 4,000 stimulus recipients received $24-billion in Recovery Act funds — while owing more than $750-million in unpaid corporate, payroll and other taxes.

Among the tax-cheating federal contractors and grant winners who raked in stimulus bucks, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations found: — Two social services groups with nearly $3-million in unpaid taxes each received more than $1 million in stimulus awards.

— One nonprofit organization owed more than $2-million from years of unpaid payroll taxes, while at the same time its CEO made numerous trips to a casino. The group was awarded more than $1 million in stimulus funds.

— One engineering services firm had a $6-million delinquent tax debt and was called by the IRS an “extreme case of noncompliance,” yet won a contract worth more than $100,000.

— A municipality with a history of late tax filings and five periods of unpaid payroll taxes worth $1-million received $100,000 in stimulus money.

— A health care company that owes more than $1-million in back taxes and has had federal IRS liens filed against it since the late 1990s received $100,000 in stimulus funds.

— One security firm owed $9-million and was repeatedly cited not only for being uncooperative with the IRS, but also had been nabbed with frequent labor violations. It also received a stimulus contract worth more than $100,000.

And this is just the tip of the Cash for Tax Cheats iceberg. The GAO acknowledged in its report that “the estimated amount of known unpaid federal taxes we identified is likely understated” because of rampant underreporting of income and because the analysis did “not include Recovery Act contract and grant recipients who are noncompliant with or not subject to Recovery Act reporting requirements.”

The official response of the Obama administration’s stimulus oversight board? First, the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board patted itself on the back for its transparency.

Second, the panel dodged respon-

sibility by sheepishly pointing out that “federal law does not prohibit tax delinquents from getting government contracts or grants.” As if the RATs couldn’t have exercised their own common sense to stop such plundering in the name of job creation themselves?

Even if such a prohibition existed, you can’t count on the IRS to perform due diligence on behalf of the American taxpayer, either. Last week, the Treasury Department inspector general found that the tax police have failed to prevent fraud in the stimulus law’s energy tax credit program. Some $6-billion in stimulus energy credits for homeowners have been claimed — but the inspector general’s audit found that 30-percent of credit-claimers had no record of homeownership. “I am troubled by the IRS’s continued failure to develop appropriate verification methods for distributing Recovery Act credits,” the Treasury Inspector watchdog said.

Moreover, when the IRS wasn’t falling down on its job policing outside fraud, its own workers were committing their own stimulus fraud — by cheating the system and claiming a first-time homebuyer tax credit included in the 2008 and 2009 economic stimulus packages.

At least 128 IRS employees claimed the credit, according to a recent Treasury Department audit, yet weren’t first-time buyers or violated other basic eligibility criteria.

Oklahoma GOP Sen. Tom Coburn, who has doggedly tracked stimulus waste from Day One, said, “That such a huge amount of the stimulus money went to known tax cheats should be a wake-up call for Congress.” It should be about the 20th wake-up call by now. Obama’s notorious slush fund has redistributed wealth to prison inmates, flaky researchers, social justice boondoggles, infrastructure to nowhere, foreign companies, dead people and ghost congressional districts — not to mention $20-million in chump change to pay for campaign-style stimulus-hyping road signs across the country emblazoned with the shovel-ready logo.

And for what?

Unemployment remains near double-digits. Obama economic advisers Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein infamously vowed the stimulus would stay below 8-percent. Highway jobs have not materialized. Investor’s Business Daily notes that a new study by economists Timothy Conley of the University of Western Ontario and Bill Dupor of Ohio State “found that despite the influx of all that federal money, highway construction jobs actually plunged by nearly 70,000 between 2008 and 2010.” Indeed, the researchers found that the stimulus see next page

LETTERS Selectmen need to show some compassion & restore this job To the editor, The following is a letter I wrote to the Gilford selectmen last December regarding their decision to make Sandra Hart’s position with the Planning Board part-time commencing January 1st. At that time, I hesitated to publish it, but with additional impetus following Sunday’s fundraising event, I felt the need to share it, and also to add to it.

“I want to thank those involved in trying to keep the taxes here in Gilford down as much as possible. But in one case I feel the action taken to save some money doesn’t justify losing a trusted town employee who has given us six years of great service. I am referring to the decision to change Sandra Hart’s position in the Planning Department from a fulltime position to a part-time position.

I understand that she learned of the possibility of the change to part-time via a phone call on her way to pass papers on her new home. Obviously that was mishandled, but very obvious given the circumstances that she needs a full-time position with benefits as most do, and now she’ll necessarily have to seek employment elsewhere. For Sandra, necessarily is the proper word, but for the town, I question the necessity, especially in these difficult times, of us as a town, adding to the already overburdened unemployed and at the same time, losing a valued 6-year employee. I obviously care more about this person’s life than the few dollars saved by changing the position to part-time.

I’d respectfully, but strongly suggest budgeters keep the position full time.”

The Selectmen elected to go forward with their decision to change Sandra’s position from full-time to parttime. It’s bad enough that Sandra was blindsided on her way to passing papers on her new house, learning for the first time that she would be put on part-time and lose not only half of her salary, but her benefits as well.

She has still not been able to find a full-time job. Enter one 2-year-old Grayden Hart, Sandra’s youngest son, playing in his back yard in mid-March and taking a toss as all 2-year-olds do, but landing on a root with his eye. It was a devastating eye injury for which he has undergone multiple surgeries and doctors visits with more to come.

Sandra and her family have been through enough, to say the very least. I am once again asking the selectmen to act with a sense of compassion rather than for the almighty buck and make Sandra a full-time employee with benefits as soon as possible. Our Lakes Region has an extremely well deserved reputation for taking care of our community members in times of crisis, as evidenced by the turnout for Sandra and her family at the fundraising party held on their behalf Sunday in Laconia. However, that temporary influx of money to help with the excessive bills that have piled up and will continue to do so as Grayden goes for more doctors visits and surgeries is a step that could be so easily enhanced by a simple gesture by our selectmen to reinstate Sandra full-time for the rest of the year.

And for those who might put saving money first before valuing our employees, by Sandra being put on part-time the Town of Gilford saved approximately $42,000 in annual pay and benefits. With five months already passed, we’ve saved approximately $17,500 leaving $23,500 if she were to be reinstated for the rest of the year.

I would call on Gilford Selectmen to please put compassion and caring for a long-time employee during an extremely difficult time for her and her family, above the relatively small monetary savings to the community and put Sandra on full-time status for the rest of the year. I invite readers to contact the selectmen and our town administrator to express their views (527-4790).

LETTERS That big a secret being kept by millions of Americans — not a chance

Lake levels post 1983 were in fact not kept at 540-feet or above

To the editor, I remember it as though it happened yesterday, as do millions and millions of people world wide. On that clear blue September morning first one and then a second jet airliner soaring out of that blue sky and each smashing into one of the towers. The impacts could almost be felt but even more dramatic was the red/orange fireballs exploding out from the opposite sides of the buildings. Greasy black smoke rose thousands of feet into the air, how far away that it could be seen I can only imagine. The smoke and flames rose up the sides of the buildings and to our horror we witnessed living human beings jumping thousands of feet to certain death to escape those flames. We all saw the images as each tower in turn, their upper third or quarter collapsed onto lower floors, fell in the massive gray clouds of cement dust and debris which rolled up and out through the streets and avenues of lower New York City. Who can forget?

Documents and witnesses all show who, what, when and where. Those are the facts. Now we have Derek Case, the self described gentlemen “with a natural gift for thinking” telling us his “facts” of the story. With all due respect Derek, none of what you present are facts, only supposition and opinion.

I allow, you are entitled to interpret those things you witnessed, however they seem to make the most sense to you and you are correct that barring any real evidence and or real facts you will not convince me of your case. By the same token, I can’t disprove your contentions just as I can’t prove that a UFO didn’t crash in Roswell, NM in 1948 or that the moon landing wasn’t created on a Hollywood sound stage.

Still given all the evidence, documents and witness statements just how is anyone supposed to take your charges seriously.

Derek describes the fires in the towers as “small and isolated”. They

To the editor, An open letter to N.H. DES Commissioner Burack: As shore owners on Lake Waukewan for many, many years we were very disappointed and shocked by the DES decision to raise our lake level to 540 ft. All the data and observations done by the DES and all the communications we had received from DES researchers made it clear that the “compromise” level of 539.5 would be adhered to. Mr. Gallagher’s statement that 540 is a “compromise” is untrue and misleading. Levels “post” 1983 were not held at 540 or above as Mr. Gallagher eludes to. Levels were often much lower than 540 and sometimes in early spring or after a heavy rain approached 540 levels. Mr. Gallagher tries to imply that the outrageous water levels we were suffering with for the few years previous to the 2010 season were somehow the norm.

They were anything but the norm and the reason the levels had gotten out of control was because of ignorance by the dam operators.

This is a very dangerous decision you have made and many people will suffer as a consequence. It is not only disastrous for many shore owners, but for wildlife and habitat and the overall health of our lake and wetlands.

We can now look forward to more flooding of our property and others on the shore, septic problems and their disturbing consequences, erosion of properties, loss of trees and natural beaches and shoreline, increase in phosphorus levels due to backed up ground water and storm water runoff,

didn’t look small or isolated to me viewing them on TV. Also I question his assertion that almost all the jet fuel “burned off on impact”, though I am no expert on the subject. As for the description of a perfectly controlled demolition I suggest that term is more hope then fact. The huge mass of the towers would not, could not fall fully within the “footprint of the foundations”. The mass would displace outward which to my mind explains the damage and destruction caused to surrounding buildings, including #7.

Declaring that the two political parties are really one hiding behind a “shield” or telling us that we are “enslaved by this system of cruel politicians and their armies and police and bureaucratic employees making life a living hell for most of the world’s population” indicates that Derek and I perceive our existence and world very, very differently. From my point of view, for this to be true, I would have to believe that something on the order of every tenth human would have to be part of the greatest conspiracy ever imagined. How could such a thing be kept secret? It couldn’t!

Here in this country we can’t keep even top secrets secret for very long.

We couldn’t keep the secret of the atom bomb secret from Russia. We couldn’t keep Watergate secret, or Monica Lewinsky. No secret is secure.

Tens of thousands or investigative reporters, bloggers, news organizations around the world and millions of people looking for their 15 minutes and something as huge as a conspiracy on the scale that Derek suggests?

I would remind Derek that extraordinary clams require extraordinary proof. No disrespect intended to Derek but until I see that proof I can’t even entertain the idea. Sorry Derek but barring any revelations on the subject this will be my last word on it Steve Earle Hill

Insufficient employer contributions created retirement fund problem To the editor, Recently Representative McCarthy stated his position on what is known as the Right-to-Work B=bill (more appropriately it is the Right-to-Workfor-Less bill). He distorts the facts.

Representative McCarthy has talked of his interest in working on economic issues; I suggest he address some real issues. The per capita annual wages for N.H. women are about $3,000 less than for men. The average entry level hourly wage in Carroll County is $1.25 less than neighboring Grafton from preceding page actually “destroyed or forestalled” a whopping one million private sector jobs by crowding them out with makework public jobs and programs.

Recovery.gov? More like Wreckovery.gov.

County. As Governor Lynch recently stated “The debate over the so-called right-to-work bill in New Hampshire appears to be largely driven by national outside interest groups, and is not a result of problems facing New Hampshire businesses or workers.”

Information distributed by Senator Bradley about the funding of the N.H. Retirement System also omits important information and distorts the facts. Decades of insufficient employer contributions created this problem.

Please stop the disrespect for public employees and middle class workers.

The truth is the truth. Our honorable elected officials must work with the facts, not distorted information.

Solving problems starts with finding the facts and a desire to find solutions.

For the past two centuries N.H. has moved forward, advancing to a better place while respecting important traditions. Live Free and Lie is not the motto of NH. Our elected officials behave differently when the people are watching. Pay attention and take action!

probability of increased levels of cyanobacteria and frequency of cyanobacteria blooms endangering the health and safety of our lake and those who wish to swim and recreate on it and declining property values.

We believe it will be impossible to keep our lake at the 540 level when beginning at this elevation. The dam holds water back and cannot discharge. This was made very clear by the Dam Bureau at the August 17, 2010 meeting with DES. Therefore, we can expect frequent flooding under normal occurring rain at 540. We were “above” 540 before the recent rain this week. All boards were removed early Monday morning and the lake is still coming up. We can actually see the lake rising and it isn’t a mirage! As of today, the lake is now at 540.35. Please have Mr. Gallagher explain HOW he intends to hold the lake at 540.

The rain this week wasn’t even heavy rain. Just wait till we have heavy rains.

We can’t tell you how much faith we have lost in the DES! Your engineers who were put in charge of the investigation tell you 540 is too high a level and your data proves it and yet you come up with this decision — ONE WE WILL ALL REGRET! We can’t even understand why we have a DES if your decisions are influenced by a certain few who falsely claim recreational hardship and are politically motivated rather than based upon facts and sound research. You are a terrible disappointment to us!

I was ashamed by way our congresswoman was treated in Alton To the editor, Re; Letter to the editor, 5/21: “Where was she when Shea-Porter was being yelled at?”: Justice calls for commending the author of the letter (Susan Dolan, New Durham) for putting things in perspective. The writer notes that Congressman Guinta in his local meeting was subjected to no more rudeness than former Congresswoman Shea-Porter received in her many “Town Hall” meetings she held during the summer hot season of yelling at her for her vote for health care reform. (The congresswoman calmly replied that she deliv-

ered on her campaign promise to vote for improving health care.)

I was the camera-person for recording Shea-Porter’s meeting in Alton for LRPA-TV’s Channel 26. I can testify to how rudely she was treated by most of the audience, and how civil she was in her response. I am not a Democrat (I am an “Independent”) and yet I felt moved to apologize to the congresswoman in a subsequent meeting for the terribly inhospitable reception she received in Alton. I am usually proud of Alton, but I was ashamed that night.

The music of today sends the wrong message to young people To the editor, I sure wish the good old days of real music were back again. The music of today is a nightmare and the young people of today just love it. Give me the 20s, 30s, doo wops and rock and roll. Now that was music. Wish the young people of today would have known the good old days. Who the heck is Lady Ga Ga? What kind of name is that? The big band era and the 50s were the best. I’m glad I still have all the good music.

The young people are loosing their hearing because of the loud music and the loud bass. All you can hear when

you are on the road is doom, doom — five cars behind that loud bass music.

So the young people have got to loose their hearing because of it.

The music today is all about sex and violence. Then they want to know why everything is going wrong today. The music of today sends the wrong message to the young people. When we introduce the young people to our generation of music to my surprise they liked it. I sure miss the good old music we had and the simple life. Was it not good then? Bring back the good old days!

LETTERS Mr. Chase longs for the ‘glory days’ of Joe McCarthy & red baiting

Why are we being told we really need electricity from Quebec?

To the editor, Recently, Dr. Leo Sandy, a professor at Plymouth State University was given a “Distinguished Graduate Teacher” award by the university.

Now, many, if not most, people (including this writer) see this as an occasion to congratulate a local educator on a job well done. Besides, whether you agree or disagree with Dr. Sandy, his award had nothing to do with his politics.

Instead, Ed Chase chose to use the occasion to malign the man, calling him “evil,” a “communist,” and a hater of his country simply because Dr. Sandy disagrees with him politically. The Cold War is over. Are we still stooping to “red-baiting?” Perhaps Dr. Sandy’s ideas are too liberal or progressive for Mr. Chase but calling him names was uncalled for.

Mr. Chase writes that he “can’t help but think how things have changed since America’s glory days. Not too long ago, an America-hating communist like Sandy would have been unable to find a job.” First of all, Mr. Chase, why do you think that Dr. Sandy is “America-hating?” Dr. Sandy writes a regular column to The Sun in which he disagrees with many of your ideas but does this make him “anti-American?” I am not absolutely certain about this but I seem to remember that Dr. Sandy is actually a military veteran.

When were America’s “glory days”

To the editor, We are all familiar with the ice storms which are severe at times here in New England; they not only bring down trees but the towers which carry electricity — December 12, 2008, January 5-10 1998, and as far back as 1921. Their severity has increased since, which leaves one to wonder as to the rational of establishing a dependency on electricity generated some 500 miles further north. Quebec was hit even more severely in the ‘98 storm leaving 2.5-million there without power, some for weeks. Their electric transmission towers were brought down by the hundreds across a vast wilderness area.

We are lead to believe that they have an excess of power from Quebec Hydro, we are not told that 10 nuclear power plants supply nearly 40-percent of Quebec’s power; do we know exactly from which source we actually will be drawing?

Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant on the Hudson River 25 miles north of New York City provides as much as 30-percent of the city’s electric power needs. Indian Point, whose two reactors are up for recertification in 2013

Mr. Chase? Are you referring to the McCarthy Era? The 1950s? Or, the height of the Cold War in 1962 when the United States and Soviet Union almost started World War Three?

When both superpowers used their science and treasure to compete in developing weapons of mass destruction when those efforts could have gone into human needs? Or, was it when the United States shamelessly intervened, covertly and overtly, in other countries, often supporting brutal dictatorships because these regimes were “anti-Communist?” Or, where these “glory days” when the F.B.I., under Director J. Edgar Hoover spied on and harassed citizens for exercising their First Amendment Rights?

Or, were those “glory days” when Bill Loeb and the Union Leader kept on “red-baiting” even after a New Hampshire legislative committee concluded that there was no real communist threat in New Hampshire?

Or when the town of Meredith, New Hampshire ran a good teacher out of his job and ultimately, out of town simply because he liked Russian history? Thank goodness that nowadays, academic freedom is protected from the likes of Mr. Chase.

Things certainly do change, Mr. Chase, and sometimes they actually change for the better.

In Sanbornton, as elsewhere, library is necessary place for all To the editor, The library in Sanbornton is a necessary institution, as are libraries in towns and cities all across our state, and in states all over our country.

A library is just as important to a town as its schools, its police and fire department, its infrastructure, and all other departments and buildings found in cities and towns. Without the knowledge gained by having a library available to all residents, there would be a void in the well being of people living in the area and would be especially felt by the children.

Whatever material used by the patrons of the Sanbornton Library, from traditional books, to information in electronic format, the director, the staff, and volunteers, are ready to help you find the area you need. Computers are available to the patrons, at no charge, and a new computer lab, has recently been established to teach patrons to access the many programs and information available from all over the world. Along with all this is the interaction of residents meeting friends, working on projects, holding special events, plus special town

boards having their regular meetings. There are regular displays of residents collections and hobbies in a glass cabinet in the entry hall, and newspapers, magazines and coffee or tea all available on the main floor near the check out desk. Besides the large children’s collection there is a large play area with puzzles and toys to enjoy. There are other amenities such as a refuse in a storm, and more recently a cooling place in heat waves for those without air conditioning; and the list could continue!

Without this knowledge and personal interaction found at libraries, in towns, cities, colleges and universities, the result would be a great loss to the ongoing education in our lives. Thomas Jefferson said “ I cannot live without books!”. He is considered the founder of libraries in our country, so many years ago. His quest for knowledge continues today, here in Sanbornton and throughout our country. A library is a necessary place for all people.

Urge your reps to support Finding Fugitive Sex Offenders Act To the editor, Please contact you U.S. Congresswomen and men to urge them to support Senate Bill 671, the Finding

and 2015 are already slated for shut down and now even earlier since the Japan disaster.

Seabrook Nuclear Plant was built to service other parts of New England; Seabrook produces enough electricity to power nearly the entire state and is owned by out-of-state corporations (where the profits go). N.H.’s other electric generating sources allow New Hampshire to export almost half of the state’s total generation. Seabrook’s license is valid until 2026; the second reactor remains incomplete could be finished and provide additional power.

Why then are we told that New Hampshire needs Quebec’s electricity?

Why not ship it through Montreal and straight through New York State to NYC? It could be laid on the lake and river bottom nearly the full distance where it’s actually intended to go rather than a round about route through N.H. and the northeast power grid?

It should be noted than New Hampshire didn’t loose power during the August 14th, 2003 power failure due to our self-sufficiency and excellent safety system.

Paging Professor Sandy: where have the war protesters gone?

To the editor, Where have all the anti-war protesters gone, long time missing? Where have all the anti-war protesters gone, it seems so long ago?

Gosh, it’s been well over two years now since I have seen an anti-war rally in front of the statehouse. I keep looking and looking for any sign of doves flying around the grounds spreading umbrage over our soldiers fighting wars overseas. Still in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya. But nary a lonely, nostalgic sign of “Bushhitler” or or even a pointed “Bush lied, people died” sign to be found from a bygone Republican era.

Is it possible that all those protesters were Democrats and now that President Barack Obama is the Commander-in-Chief, the gang of liberal outrage is dishearteningly harder to

find than an objective reporter at a tea party rally?

Paging Professor Leo Sandy with your perspicacious grasp of peace oh so handy, please tell me how peace doves turn into war hawks, apparent hypocrisy notwithstanding.

Oh where, oh where have all the anti-war protesters gone, so so long ago? Gone to duplicitous, progressive pastures everyone. When will they ever learn, displaying their oxymoronic behavior at every turn? Just when will they ever, ever learn? To hear these words sung by the Kingston Trio does my heart sorely yearn.

Perhaps the kindly, learned professor will help this bewildered soul this dichotomy to discern.

New Hampshire can do better than close Sanbornton rest stop To the editor, Due to cost cutting measures the southbound rest area on Interstate 93, located in Sanbornton, will be closed June 30, 2011. This is the only staffed yearround rest area on the southbound lanes between Littleton and Hooksett. It has functioned as part of the interstate highway safety system for a number of years.

Former state representative, Liz Merry of Sanbornton, did extensive research on the importance of maintaining this asset. This rest area and

staff have received accolades from newspapers, tourists, local people including public safety officials. A typical notation in the visitor log reads: “Don’t be like Massachusetts, where there’s no rest areas that are open.

New Hampshire’s better than that, which is why we come up here a lot.”

Perhaps we should change the state motto to read: “New Hampshire can do better.”

Residents and neighbors watch as firefighters work at putting out a fire that started in a third floor apartment is this building at 25 Baldwin Street in Laconia on Wednesday morning. Smoke and water damage to all six apartments in the building was extensive and it was declared to be uninhabitable.

(Karen Bobotas/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

FIRE from page one City fire officials said a hard-wired smoke alarm sounded at 9:47 a.m. and the first firefighters arrived within minutes, saw smoke coming from a third floor window and immediately called for a first alarm, bringing additional firefighters from Gilford and Belmont.

Chief Ken Erickson said Gilford firefighters carried a first-floor, bedridden tenant to safety. Stewarts Ambulance took the man, identified by neighbor Jason Thomas as Doug Higgins, to nearby Lakes Region General Hospital.

“He said it was a nightmare,” said Thomas who said Higgins was in the intensive care unit. “The fire department and ambulance got him out real quick.”

In his report to the media about the fire, Erickson said Higgins was in critical condition.

Dept. Fire Chief Deb Pendergast said she and Erickson were at a conference in Meredith when the first alarm was sounded. They were already returning to Laconia when Capt. Bob Landry called for a second alarm.

Pendergast said the third-floor apartment in the south side of the

in flames and the fire had started burning into the attic when Landry went to a second alarm.

“It was a pretty quick-moving fire that didn’t vent right away,” Pendergast said.

She said firefighters climbed atop the building and cut a ventilation hole in the roof while the ladder truck was able to position itself between the adjacent Sunrise Towers and the burning building.

Erickson said the roof was four stories high and had been re-shingled repeatedly making the ventilation extremely difficult and dangerous.

Pendergast said the hydrant across the street was not blocked by any parked cars and provided immediate water for first responders. She wanted residents to again remember not to block the fire hydrants saying that if firefighters had not had an immediate supply of water the outcome would have been much worse.

She said the neighborhood is in one of the older and more congested sections of the city and Laconia Police cut off all traffic to Baldwin Street and Avery Street below Tyler Street. She said one lane of Union Avenue was closed as well.

Police reports sway Gilford selectmen to continue to hold hard line on nightclub owner’s entertainment license

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Two weeks after selectmen denied a Lake Street nightclub a permit for a wet T-shirt contest and declined to renew its live entertainment license, the business owner last night told the board he would appeal the live entertainment ruling.

China Bistro owner Lin Bi, accompanied by Atty.

David Allen, also asked selectmen last night for a 60-day temporary live entertainment permit so he could continue to host disc jockeys while his appeal is pending.

Selectmen again denied Bi’s request citing numerous noise complaints as well as multiple instances when police were called, including a stabbing and a near riot in the parking lot in April that required police assistance from Laconia and the New Hampshire State Police.

Bi told Selectmen he had learned that two rivals groups — one from Manchester and one from the Lakes Region — had been fighting in the parking lot and he has since barred all of them from his establishment.

“A local group was kicked out of a Laconia club and now they are kicked out of here,” Bi said.

He said the club has 16 surveillance cameras including four trained on the parking lot but selectmen, at least for the time being, were unpersuaded.

“You really need to sit with Deputy Chief (Kevin) Keenan and read the police reports,” said Selectmen Kevin Hayes. “They are eye-opening.”

Allen tried to appeal to the selectmen’s business sense by saying Bi had been doing business in Gilford for 22 years and is “part of the fabric of the community.”

“He wants to make it right and comply with the town ordinances,” continued Allen.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said the letter sent to Bi on May 12 itemized four conditions that must be satisfied before the town would consider reinstating his live entertainment license. from preceding page — six apartments — is condemned because of fire, smoke and water damage.

She said Deputy Chief Charles Roffo investigated the fire and believes it started in the kitchen. She also said it appears to be accidental.

Erickson said Roffo estimates the damage to be around $100,000.

The Red Cross said 16 people are without homes, including a Bosnian family who needed some trans-

The conditions include withdrawing the “unusual” or adult nature of his request, which has been done; complying with all zoning regulations, which Bi said yesterday is complete; and presenting concrete plans to reduce the noise and parking lot fights.

He said Bi’s appearance last night “doesn’t seem like a specific plan.”

Bi replied he had already instructed his bouncers to pay more attention to the parking lot but told selectmen the obvious nature of the nightclub business meant he could “never promise it would be a quiet as a whisper.”

“There will always be complaints. Just like the big noise at Meadowbrook,” he said. “Everybody has a different standard.”

He also pointed out there are times when the Margate Resort, which is across Lake Street and in Laconia, has live bands along the beach and the music “rattles his windows.”

Allen said the club would “turn the decibel level down” and would also be amenable to a unformed police detail to be paid for by Bi. He noted Bi had called the police and asked for a special detail for a particular event in the recent past but was told there were no officers available.

Selectmen Chair John O’Brien also said he didn’t want to see Bi placing any more temporary signs in the traffic circle, calling the temporary signs an attempt to evade the building inspector who doesn’t work weekends.

“Sorry,” Bi said.

“I never thought it would be a problem and never intended to avoid the building inspector,” he continued, adding his was not the only business that put temporary signs in the traffic circle.

Selectmen also said it was not the board’s intention to drive Bi out of business but that it wanted to see some concrete plans for change before it voted to reinstate the live entertainment permit.

“As selectmen we want to work with you,” said see next page lation assistance to help them find temporary shelter.

To assist the victims, visit www.nhredcross.org or call 1-800-464-6692. Contributions may also be sent to the American Red Cross in New Hampshire at 2 Maitland Street, Concord, NH 03301.

The building is owned by Keystone Management.

Firefighters from Belmont, Gilford, Meredith, Franklin and Tilton-Northfield assisted while Holderness provided coverage to Meredith.

Former Spaudling High School principal to come out of retirement to work in Gilford for one year GILFORD — The School District announced Tuesday that it has contracted with a Kingston educator to serve as interim High School principal for the 2011-12 school year. Bob Pedersen was most recently principal of Spaulding High School in Rochester, where he served for five years before retiring in 2007.

The GHS position became available due to Ken Wiswell’s retirement effective June 30.

Pedersen and his wife Linda have three grown children and five grandchildren, all residing in southeastern New Hampshire. Prior to working in Rochester, he was principal of Dover High School, having served there for four years. From 1985 to 1998 he was principal of Pelham High School.

While at Spaulding, Pedersen was selected as

New Hampshire Secondary Principal of the Year in 2005. He has had extensive experience in the field of education, having served for six years on the Timberlane Regional School Board, six years on the Commission for Public Secondary Schools (NEASC) and on a variety of committees with the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA).

Pedersen holds a B.A. in Psychology, a M.A. in Counseling and an M.Ed. in School Administration.

Prior to entering the field of education, he served for three years on active duty with the U.S. Army. After many years as a reserve officer, he retired from the Army Reserves with the rank of colonel.

Pedersen will officially begin his position in mid August.

STATE SCHOOL from page one can come to a workable, favorable arrangement.”

City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who chaired a commission convened by the Legislature to study redeveloping the site and first suggested the city acquire the property, said “I really appreciate the time and effort Senators Morse and (Jeanie) Forrester have devoted to this issue on Laconia’s behalf. I’m encouraged and impressed by how they have approached the problem and kept us informed,” he continued. “The city is fortunate to be working with them.”

Earlier this week Morse added a provision to House Bill 2, the so-called companion legislation to the budget, directing the Department of Administrative Services to offer the property to the city for not less than $10-million by July 1, 2012. If the city declines the offer, the property would be offered to Belknap County “at the current market value” and if the county also refuses it would be put on the open market and sold to the highest bidder “at no less than the current market value.”

Last month, Lahey explained the city’s stake in the property to Morse’s committee. He said the city was especially interested in acquiring some 60 acres adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex known

as Hank Risley Field, which is owned by the state and leased to the city. The land provides parking for the complex, which is home to the Laconia Muskrats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. He also suggested the city would consider acquiring the 77 acres bordered by North Main Street, Meredith Center Road and Right Way Path, which represents about a third of the former state school site.

The committee advised Lahey that the city should prepare to acquire the entire 212-acre site, including the 75 acres where most of the 25 buildings are located.

Lahey told the committee that the city council had commissioned Russ Thibeault to appraise the property. He explained that the current assessed value of the property is $20.8-million — $19.1-million for the buildings and $1.7-million for the land, which those familiar with the site consider far in excess of its market value. He said the consultant who worked with the commission suggested that because of the condition of the buildings and presence of environmental hazards the property may be “underwater.”

An initial environmental assessment found evidence of underground tanks, petroleum spills, PCBs and asbestos. Both the Senate and the House included $300,000 for a more extensive environmental assessment, which would indicate the cost of cleaning up the site, in the 2012-2013 capital budget.

In March the House included a similar provision in its version of HB-2, without however expressly granting the city right of first refusal or specifying a reserve price. However, the House stipulated that the transaction be subject to RSA 4:40, which requires that surplus real estate owned by the state first be offered to the municipality then the county where it is located. Likewise, the statute requires that state-owned real estate be sold at no less than its current market value.

“You haven’t convince me you have a plan in place,” Benavides said telling Bi the board wanted a written plan for noise, signs, security, safety and police.

Bi said he understands that the selectmen need to try and keep everybody happy but that most of his complaints come from the same few people.

“I’m trying to do whatever I can,” he said.

5 city manager candidates to be interviewed on Friday

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA — The City Council will interview five candidates culled from a starting pool of 80 for the position of city manager during a day-long session conducted behind closed doors tomorrow beginning at 9:30 am.

Mayor Mike Seymour said yesterday that the council, together with Pam Reynolds, the acting city manager, and Marie Bradley, executive assistant to the last two city managers and perhaps one other city employee, will begin the day with a briefing on the remaining candidates by Don Jutton of Municipal Resources, Inc., the Meredith firm that solicited the candidates and winnowed the field. He said that because one of the six finalists was unable to appear, five candidates will be interviewed, each for an hour and a quarter beginning around 10:15 am. and finishing before 6 pm.

The entire interview process will be conducted in non-public session. That has led at least one resident to question the presence of some city employees to the exclusion of others. Seymour explained that the employees, who have been chosen for their knowledge and experience of the responsibilities of a city manager, have been invited to assist the councilors with questioning the candidates. He emphasized that no employees will participate in either the deliberations about the candidates or the selection of the city manager.

Furthermore, Seymour pointed out that on occasion employees are invited to attend non-public meetings of the council convened to address other issues. He said that when such occasions the council has been advised by legal council to take a formal

vote of the councilors on a motion to invite them to the meeting, which he presumed would be the process followed on Friday.

In an e-mail to Bradley, Walter Mitchell, the city attorney, assured the council that it is certainly “legal and appropriate” to conduct the interviews in away from the public and the press, since candidates may hold positions that would be at risk if their applications became known. Likewise, Mitchell said that the presence of employees is also “legal and appropriate” so long as their role is limited to “providing staff assistance during the interviews.”

Mitchell cited no statutory authority or legal precedent in support of his opinion.

Associate Attorney General Ann Rice said that the question of who, other than members of a public body, is entitled to attend a non-public session is not addressed by the text of the “Right-To-Know” law (RSA 91-A). Nor, she said, has the issue been decided by the courts. Rice said that where the statute is silent and precedent is lacking, the Attorney General’s Office does not offer an opinion.

Seymour said that the next step in the process will depend on the result of the interviews. The council could agree on a particular candidate, in which case he said councilors have been advised to “sleep on it” over the long weekend before proceeding to an appointment. Alternatively, councilors could find none of the candidates suited to the position and ask to interview not only the sixth candidate who was unable to attend but also another half-dozen applicants.

Eileen Cabanel left the city manager post last week after a 10-year stay. She is the new town manager is Merrimack.

ELECTION from page one House and lost seats in the Senate last year in what President Barack Obama memorably dubbed a shellacking. She gained 47 percent of the vote, to 43 percent for her rival and 9 percent for Jack Davis, a former Democrat who ran as a tea party contender.

At the same time, Democrats stressed they did not view the race as a reason to walk away from highprofile bipartisan deficit-reduction talks being led

by Vice President Joe Biden.

For Republicans, the New York race provided fresh evidence of turbulence for a Medicare remake they tout as a long-term answer to the program’s financing. In the weeks since they unveiled it, the proposal has been less than enthusiastically received by the public, judging from polls.

GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich criticized it, and while he later apologized to Ryan he has not recanted his opposition. A second contender, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, said during the day he will have an alternative that differs in unspecified areas from the one in the party’s budget

in the House.

Israel and other Democrats said Hochul’s victory showed that the Medicare-overhaul proposal would prove a political dead weight for Republicans in dozens of races in the 2012 congressional elections.

It also is likely to embolden liberals who are not generally supportive of deficit cuts now under negotiation on the order of trillions of dollars.

Yet public opinion polls show strong support for reining in deficits, particularly among independent voters. And Obama, readying for his own re-election campaign, has dispatched Biden and other top officials to negotiations aimed at reaching a compromise with Republicans.

“Budget talks are proceeding in good faith and will continue,” said Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.

The party’s second-in-command in the House, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, has said repeatedly that changes to Medicare should be on the table as part of deficit reduction talks, although he and others in his party see next page

Forrester pleased Senate committee has restored some water quality-related funds to state budget

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — The Senate Finance Committee last week restored some but not all the funding for programs to monitor water quality and manage water bodies that the House of Representatives earlier stripped from the 2012-2013 state budget.

The House eliminated the volunteer lake and river assessment programs, lakes and rivers management programs and freshwater beach inspection program, along with the five positions that support them.

Rene Pelletier, assistant director of the Water Division of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, (DES) said yesterday that the Senate Finance Committee accepted the agency’s proposal to restore one position to manage the two volunteer assessment programs at an annual cost of $100,458 and one full-time and one-part time position for the lakes and rivers management programs at an annual cost of $144,864.

Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) was pleased with the outcome. “I heard enough from people and recognized the importance of water quality to the Lakes Region,” she said. Explaining that DES effectively halved the programs, she said that “I appreciated their effort because I didn’t want to see the programs go away and the only choice was to reduce them or eliminate them.”

Since 1985, volunteers have monitored water quality in more than 300 lakes and ponds and 2,024 miles of rivers and streams, under the direction of DES, which has provided equipment and training.

More than 700 volunteers collect more than 24,000 water samples from 1,500 monitoring stations in 200 municipalities each year.

The data enables DES to track a variety of indicators of water quality, including levels of nutrients that foster algae growth and cyanobacteria blooms and of contaminants like chloride and mercury that endanger the aquatic environment. In addition, the programs provide nearly half the data contained in the report on the quality of surface water required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and submitted to Congress every two years. from preceding page remain implacably opposed to the Republicans proposal.

In an interview, Israel said Democrats would work with Republicans to strengthen Medicare “but not to do away with it.”

Republicans want “to end Medicare as we know it,” the president told an audience of invited guests last month, Ryan and other GOP lawmakers among them.

Democratic strategists have privately urged the party’s leaders to criticize the overhaul plan, in part to

The lakes and rivers management programs are the only formal means for municipalities to coordinate efforts to safeguard public drinking supplies and enhance the recreational value of surface waters. DES provides administrative and technical support to 144 municipalities in their efforts at protecting shorelines and watersheds to sustain water quality. Currently DES is preparing management plans for 32 lakes.

Pelletier said that the Senate Finance Committee also restored funds for inspecting pools and spas and monitoring shellfish quality, which the House had eliminated, but not for freshwater beach inpsections.

Nevertheless, Pelletier said that plans are underway to continue the program as part of the volunteer lake and river assessment program. In 2010, the department conducted 652 inspections of public beaches and issued 58 closure advisories after detecting excessive levels of e-coli and other forms of bacteria posing risks to human health. In addition, the department issued 12 advisories warning of the presence of cyanobacteria, some of which produce toxins dangerous to humans and other animals.

The initial cuts by the House aroused concern across the Lakes Region, especially in Meredith.

Earlier this month Mark Billings of the Conservation Commission asked the selectmen to urge the Senate Finance Committee to restore funding for the programs. The board shared the concerns of the commission and, with Chairman Colette Worsman abstaining, accepted its recommendation to write to the Senate Finance Committee.

Worsman, who serves on the House Finance Committee, said that she abstained because as a member of the division of the committee that reviewed DES’s budget, she recommended eliminating the programs.

“Anecdotally I’ve heard there are problems with these programs being entirely effective,” she said yesterday. “I’ve heard that the volume of data is huge, but difficult to use because there are too many variables.” She indicated that the state should consider contracting water sampling and testing to private organizations as other states have done.

try and regain the allegiance of older and independent voters who helped Republicans in the 2010 elections.

Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, chair of the Senate Democratic campaign organization, said she, too, intended to make use of the issue in the fall.

“I’m confident that Senate Democrats will be able to play offense in races across the country by remaining focused on the Republican effort to end Medicare in order to” cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and big corporations, she said.

Believing prom costs have risen beyond reason, BHS returns to gym

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — A prom at a swank location might be nice but if that location requires a matching price tag, excluding some students in the process, is it the best strategy? With that question in mind, organizers of the Belmont High School prom decided to change course this year and host the annual rite of passage in the school’s gymnasium, slashing admission price in half while continuing to offer what they hope is an evening to remember.

Event producer BJ Eckardt, who is volunteering her services for the effort, said that last year the prom was held on the M/S Mount Washington and about 130 tickets were sold at $60 each. However, considering the cost of a dress or renting a tuxedo, floral and other expenses, she said the ticket price is only the beginning of the evening’s costs. “It beomes very expensive,” she said.

That’s why this year, at the behest of Principal Russ Holden, the prom is being held on campus.

Laura Lavallee, junior class adviser, said she was initially “cool to leukwarm” about the change. Students seemed to feel the same and ticket sales were tepid the first week. Since then, however, students have warmed to the idea, thanks to $30 tickets, and Lavallee said the most affordable prom she can recall has sold more tickets than she has ever

seen, about 200.

The prom, with the theme “Lost in Las Vegas,” will start at 7 p.m. on the evening of Saturday, June 4. The grand march will begin an hour earlier.

“The price, I think, is the key,” Lavallee said.

According to Eckardt, “Everyone in the community chipped in to help” in the effort to provide a fun, affordable prom. Presenting sponsor Eptam Plastics, with help from Belmont Rotary Club, underwrote many expenses.

Lakes Region Coca-Cola donated beverages, Shaw’s and Staples contributed and several other parties played a part. Annie’s Cafe and Catering of Laconia is providing the dinner and appetizers for what Eckardt said is “a fabulous price.”

In keeping with the “Las Vegas” theme, the Lodge at Belmont has loaned gaming tables and teachers are volunteering to play the role of dealers. Each student will receive 10 chips to play with and the luckiest students will be able to redeem their winnings for prizes.

“It’s going to be a good, old-fashioned prom in the high school,” said Eckardt, who promised that students won’t recognize the gymnasium when they first step in.

“We just wanted to show that we want everyone who wants to go to prom to be able to go to prom,” said Lavallee.

Swollen by rain, Winni River is dangerous LACONIA — Sunny skies, warm temperatures and high water have made for perilous conditions, especially along the Winnipesaukee River, which is swollen with fast, heavy flows as officials of the Dam Bureau seek to draw down the lakes closer to their mean levels.

Bob Fay of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, who operates the dam at Lakeport as well as others throughout the Lakes Region, said yesterday that increased discharges at Lakeport and Lochmere have raised the volume and velocity of flows in the river, creating dangerous conditions.

“These are very high flows that can sweep people, especially children and

weak swimmers, downstream very quickly,” Fay warned. He said that anyone caught in the current should avoid panic and swim diagonally to the nearest shore.

Yesterday Lake Winnipesaukee was approximately six inches above “full lake” of 504.32 inches above sea level and Lake Winnisquam was more than five inches above the high end of seven inch operating range between 482.17 feet and 482.77 feet above sea level.

Since last week the discharge at the Lakeport Dam has risen steadily in steps from 800 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 1850 cfs yesterday. Meanwhile, the discharge at the Lochmere Dam was also raised from 1,900 cfs to 2,200 cfs.

SHOOTER from page 2 April at the federal facility in Springfield, Mo., where he was examined by psychologist Christina Pietz and psychiatrist Matthew Carroll. The two were asked to determine if Loughner understands the consequences of the case.

Burns viewed 18 hours of the experts’ videotaped interviews with Loughner. He said the experts’ reports and videos were confidential, but he summarized their findings at the hearing.

The judge said Carroll concluded Loughner’s mental health has declined in the past two or three years and his thinking on legal issues is confused.

Carroll believes Loughner doesn’t grasp the gravity of the charges and is instead fixated on inconsequential issues.

Pietz concluded Loughner’s thoughts

are random and that he suffers from delusions, the judge said. She noted Loughner gave nonsensical answers to questions and doesn’t understand the role of judges or jurors.

Neither expert thought Loughner was faking his mental health problems, with one of the therapists saying Loughner doesn’t want to be perceived as mentally ill. A hearing to revisit Loughner’s mental competency is set for Sept. 21.

Loughner has pleaded not guilty to 49 federal charges stemming from the shooting, which wounded Giffords and 12 others and killed six people, including a 9-year-old girl and a federal judge.

Loughner was calm at the beginning of Wednesday’s hearing, tilting his head and swaying back and forth.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 26, 2011— Page 15

Lightning force Bruins to a game 7 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Martin St. Louis and Teddy Purcell each scored twice, resilient goalie Dwayne Roloson weathered a hat trick by Boston’s David Krejci, and the Tampa Bay Lightning stayed alive in the Eastern Conference finals with a 5-4 win over the Boston Bruins in Game 6 on Wednesday night.

Game 7 is Friday night in Boston. The Bruins are seeking their first trip to the Stanley Cup finals in 21 years, and the Lightning will try to clinch their first appearance on hockey’s biggest stage since they won their only NHL championship in 2004.

The Western Conference champion Vancouver Canucks await the winner in the finals.

St. Louis also assisted on a third-period goal that put the Lightning up 4-2. His second goal — and NHL-leading 10th of the playoffs — restored Tampa Bay’s two-goal lead after Boston pulled within 4-3 on one of two goals Krejci scored to keep the Bruins within striking distance in the closing minutes.

Roloson, who didn’t play in Game 5 after being

pulled from two of the previous three games because of ineffectiveness, also gave up a pair of first-period goals and finished with 16 saves.

Boston’s Tim Thomas gave up another early goal, then struggled after Krejci and Milan Lucic scored to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead through one period.

The Lightning took control when St. Louis, Purcell and Steven Stamkos scored power-play goals within a 12-minute span of the second and third periods.

Roloson improved to 7-0 in elimination games during his career, including 4-0 this postseason. The Lightning rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Pittsburgh in the first round, with their 41-year-old goalie shutting out the Penguins in Game 7 on the road.

Boston coach Claude Julien said his team would need to play its best game of the series to clinch it, and the Bruins certainly had to have some doubt about how the night might go when Vincent Lecavalier won a faceoff in the right circle and Purcell scored on Tampa Bay’s opening shot.

Red Sox beat up on Indians in Wednesday matinee, 14-2 CLEVELAND (AP) — Carl Crawford finally had the kind of game the Red Sox and Boston’s ultrademanding fans have been waiting for. And it took him just six innings to do it.

Crawford, who has struggled badly in his first two months with Boston, went 4-for-4 with two doubles, three runs and two RBIs before being pulled, and the Red Sox bludgeoned Cleveland’s Mitch Talbot for seven runs in the first inning in a 14-2 rout on Wednesday.

“I definitely feel better than I did before,” said Crawford, who signed a seven-year, $142 million free agent contract in December but hasn’t played up to it through April and much of May. “It feels nice to contribute to a game where everyone contributes.”

Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run homer in Boston’s eruption in the first off Talbot (1-1), who came off the disabled list to make his first start since April 11.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a three-run homer, David Ortiz added an estimated 431-foot solo shot that looked even farther and the Red Sox got a season-high 20 hits in the series finale to win two of three from the Indians, who have baseball’s best record.

Boston, now playing as many predicted, has won 10 of 12.

“It’s good,” said starter Jon Lester, who coasted to his seventh win. “We had three good starts, and they beat us on the first night in the eighth inning. Obviously, it’s good for us to come in here and do this and keep moving and playing well.”

SMART from page 2 wrong. You did it with full knowledge ... but I have a wonderful life now and no matter what you do, you will never affect me again.

“You took away nine months of my life that can never be returned. You will have to be held responsible for those actions, whether it’s in this life or the next, and I hope you are ready for when that time comes.”

Mitchell’s sentencing closed a major legal chapter in the heartbreaking ordeal that stalled for years after he was declared mentally ill and unfit to stand trial in state court. A federal jury in December unanimously convicted the 57-year-old of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines for sex.

When the judge asked if he had anything to say,

Mitchell, whose hands and feet were bound, kept right on singing. His bizarre demeanor changed just once during the hearing: As he was sentenced, he sang louder.

Outside the courthouse, a beaming Smart, now a Brigham Young University music student, told reporters that the sentencing “is the ending of a very long chapter and the beginning of a very beautiful chapter for me.” She said she wants to work with other crime victims and lend her support to the cause of missing children.

Smart was snatched from her Salt Lake City bedroom by knifepoint in the early hours of June 5, 2002.

The massive search to find the blond-haired, blue-eyed girl riveted the nation, as did her improbable recovery while walking with her captor on a suburban Salt Lake City-area street on March 12, 2003.

GILFORD — The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is now accepting “shavees” and donors for its 8th Annual “Shaving to Conquer Kids Cancer” fundraising event to be held at the Gilford Youth Center from 8:30 a.m. — 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 4.

Jump starting the 2011 event was Brother Dave Builders and Country Cow Restaurant in Campton with a “shave off” that raised more than $8,000. This event was closely followed by Gilford School Resource Officer Holly Harris and Liz Kovar of Gilford Middle School having their locks shorn and contributing to the $18,499 raised to date for this year’s campaign.

Each year more than 160,000 kids worldwide are diagnosed with cancer. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation organizes head shaving events that raise money to support cancer research. All of the major cancer research and treatment hospitals in New England have benefited from these fundraising efforts in the form of research grants and/or fellowships.

Shavees come from all walks of life, including business executives, firefighters, police officers, and educators. St. Baldrick’s has seen participation from both men and women, young and old, school children to college students, all of whom wish to be a “Hero to Kids With Cancer.”

All are welcome to attend the June 4 fundraiser which, in addition to the “shaving of the heads” will include music, entertainment, food, a silent auction, and raffles throughout the day.

To become a shavee, sponsor a shavee, be a barber, or become a corporate sponsor, visit www.stbaldricks.org,

Lake Waukewan’s Lake Host Program looking for volunteers to work weekdays MEREDITH — The Lake Waukewan Lake Host Program is looking for Volunteer Hosts to work weekdays in July and August.

Again this summer, Lake Waukewan is being protected from variable milfoil and other exotic aquatic plants through the efforts of four paid Lake Hosts and 10 Volunteer Hosts working at Waukewan’s public boat launching ramp. However, more volunteer coverage is needed.

Variable milfoil and other invasive plants are a serious problem in New Hampshire. Once these weeds are fully established in a body of water, it’s almost impossible to eradicate them. Milfoil seriously compromises the recreational, ecological, and economic value of a lake, costing tens of thousands of dollars to control annually According to a NH Lakes document, the objec-

tives of the Lake Host program are “to place trained Lake Hosts at public motorized boat launch sites to educate visiting boaters about exotic plants by distributing brochures, answering questions, and completing a brief boater survey; conduct courtesy boat and trailer inspections of vessels both entering and leaving public waters; show boaters where to look for hitch-hiking plant fragments on boats and trailers and encourage them to conduct self-inspections; and remove and properly dispose of all plant material found, and send samples of suspicious plants removed from vessels to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) for identification.”

The Lake Waukewan Lake Host Program needs volunteers to work on July and August weekdays.

A Host’s time spent manning the Lake Waukewan

ramp can range from 0 — 4 hours per week, according to one’s schedule. An hour of training will be provided for each Host.

For further information, contact Tim Whiting, Lake Waukewan’s Lake Host point person, at 2797834, or e-mail tlwhiting@aol.com.

Safe Boaters of New Hampshire urging boaters to get vessel safety check LAKES REGION — To mark National Safe Boating Week, Safe Boaters of New Hampshire is urging boaters throughout the Granite State to get a free Vessel Safety Check.

As vessels are prepared for the summer, all boaters are encouraged to take advantage of the Vessel Safety Check offered by the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron.

Trained members will go over the safety equipment on one’s boat, pointing out things that owners may not have thought of that could prove problematic if an emergency arises.

The Vessel Safety Check takes about a half-hour, depending on the size of the boat, but it is a half-hour that could save one from grief later in the season.

For a free Vessel Safety Check, e-mail a vessel examiner at vsc@ lrsps.org or visit www.

LRSPS.org.

‘Bow WOW Fest’ attracts 144 dogs & owners in support of WOW Trail LACONIA — Nearly 150 dogs representing 62 breeds walked their owners along the WOW Trail at the First Annual “Bow WOW Fest” held at the Opechee Inn grounds to benefit the New Hampshire Humane Society on Saturday, May 14.

The Festival was the brainchild of Claire Hebert, Community Relations coordinator for Melcher and Prescott Insurance and the WOW Trail, with the goal of creating an event not only to profile the Trail but the many murals created last summer by some of the Lakes Region’s most talented artists.

“I am thrilled to see so many friends both personally and professionally come out this morning to support the WOW Trail,” she said, “and thanks to the help of our community partner, NH Humane Society, it turned out to be a great morning for our dogs, with and without homes.”

Master of Ceremonies Warren Bailey made sure everyone knew what was about to happen, starting with a Parade led by Laconia Middle School students Alexis Wright on flute and Troy Harper on drums followed by retiring Laconia Police Chief Mike Moyer with K-9 officer Mike Finogle and his partner Jago and Cycle Officer Joe Marquis. Among the many other dogs in attendance, shelter dogs Rosy and Brian also participated in hopes of wowing the crowd and finding a permanent home.

Once all dogs returned to the Inn,

Officers Finogle and Marquis demonstrated what happens when Jago finds his subject. Competitions (Owner-Dog Look Alike, Owner-Dog or Dog Siblings Dress-Alike, Tiny Tots, and Dog Talent) were then judged by staff from NH Humane Society including Justin Elliot, Megan Tower, Brian King, and Director Mary Di Maria. The event wrapped up with prizes, raffles, and a “Best Kept Pet” award presented to Kathy Greer’s Boxer Rachel.

“The best part of the day was spent in the delightful company of likeminded dog owners thrilled to enjoy the camaraderie evident by time outdoors with their pets,” stated shelter spokesperson Marylee Gorham.

“Further, I wanted to extend a sincere message of gratitude for the kindness shown to our animal welfare organization in terms of donations and items from our Wish List. Today proved dogs and their people can enjoy the outdoors, in a public, social setting. We certainly hope more of these events will happen in the Lakes Region since it truly promotes pet ownership and physical activity”.

New Hampshire Humane Society will be launching its annual Adopt a Shelter Cat promotion June 1 – June 30. Information about adoptable pets and other programs and services can be found at www.nhhumane.org.

Information about upcoming events with the WOW Trail can be found at www.wowtrail.org.

Cantin’s Collision and Paint Center given NH Auto Body Facility of the Year award LACONIA — Cantin’s Collision and Paint Center has been awarded the 2010 New Hampshire’s Auto Body Facility of the Year Award.

The facility of the year award honors one outstanding auto body repair facility in each of the Northern New England states. Scoring is derived from an annual customer satisfaction rating based on AAA’s service evaluation card responses. Cantin’s Collision and Paint Center scored the highest AAA rating of all participating auto body shops in New Hampshire.

AAA’s Approved Auto Body program highlights outstanding service facilities throughout Northern New England. To qualify as “AAA Approved” the auto body facility must meet the strict criteria for technician certification, customer satisfaction, and warranty coverage including a

12-month/12,000 mile warranty on parts and labor and AAA-mediated dispute arbitration.

Cantin’s Collision and Paint Center has earned the Facility of the Year distinction due to their 100% percent customer satisfaction rating in 2010.

This is Cantin’s second consecutive year earning this award with a 100% customer satisfaction rating. Cantin’s Collision Center exceeds AAA’s Approved Auto Body program requirements by offering a lifetime warranty on all repairs.

“This is an outstanding benefit to customers needing a quality repair after an auto collision,” said Tom Giasson, manager of AAA Approved Programs.

Cantin’s Collision and Paint Center can be reached at 524-0770 or on the web at www.cantins.com.

Gilford Bicentennial Committee to hold KickOff Fundraiser at Community Church June 5 GILFORD — The Bicentennial Committee will hold its Kick-Off Fundraiser at the Community Church from 4 — 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 5.

Singer/songwriter Don Watson, who has been called “New Hampshire’s John Denver,” will entertain with songs that are based on Granite State history, people, and places. Watson co-wrote the songs with poet and historian Steve Redic of Candia. Some of the titles are “Pumpkin Pie” (our state fruit),” Merrimack,” “Hannah Dustin,” and “Welcome Home New Hampshire.”

Jane Ellis will debut her Gilford Bicentennial song and Corey Lofblad, who runs the tourist boat for the Naswa, add interesting facts concerning the history of the lakes.

Following the entertainment, a corn chowder, chili, and cornbread dinner catered by Kitchen Cravings will be served. Harkening back to the days when everyone would bring a dish to the local Grange supper, it is hoped that those who enjoy making desserts will bring some to share.

The success of the Bicentennial Celebration depends on community support. Anyone who is interested in musical entertainment and a good meal is invited to come. Tickets are only $10 per person and may be purchased at the Library, Village

‘Disaster Strikes!’ topic of business-focused workshops presented by Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce PLYMOUTH — “Disaster Strikes!,” a free half-day of workshops designed to help businesses plan for, survive, and recover in the aftermath of a disaster, will be presented by the Plymouth Regional Chamber of Commerce from 8 a.m. — noon at the Pease Public Library on Thursday, June 9.

In New Hampshire, ice storms, flooding, and other weather-related events tend to get the most attention when it comes to disasters that interrupt the natural course of business. But what happens to a business when a web host or ISP goes down for

hours? Or a tree falls on the power lines? Or computers crash? Or key personnel steal sensitive information? Or one’s office gets broken into and robbed or vandalized?

This workshop is an opportunity to help ensure that things continue to go right for one’s business, even under the most trying of circumstances. Topics will include business operations, media outreach and training, and online and social networking communication. Additionally, the event will feature an Emergency Response Panel, where attendees can ask questions of local professionals tasked with assisting businesses when disaster strikes. Attendees will also receive materials they can use to help plan an effective response to disasters affecting their own businesses.

A joint initiative of USDA Rural Development and the NH Division of Economic Development, this workshop will be co-presented by four New Hampshire companies — Cogent Solutions, PingPR, Montagne Communications, and Epiphanies, Inc. While this workshop is free, space is limited to 50 attendees. Register now at http://grafton-disaster. eventbrite.com.

By Holiday Mathis way to prevail in the end.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like to chase, and you like to do the chasing. Whichever role you’re in today, it will be fun, as long as the one who is doing the chasing really intends to catch the other person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You will correctly assess what you can do. This sounds basic and common, but it is actually a special gift. You would be amazed how often people overestimate or underestimate their abilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You are complex and multifaceted. And yet it might help you to simplify things for the purpose of making a certain kind of impression. Think of yourself as a brand. If you had a slogan, what would it be?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll take care to do things right the first time. A powerful person is watching, expecting you to be a pro. You’ll feel the pressure and use it constructively as motivation to be excellent.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You didn’t set out on a mission to find money, so the money comes looking for you. You’ll get financial opportunities while you’re busy pleasantly minding your own business.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 26).

Your biggest challenge is within your own mind. You’ll dedicate yourself to the process of evolving to a new level of thinking and understanding. In June, a mentor appears on the scene to guide you. July brings a change of location. You’ll receive tangible benefits from your creativity and public persona.

Aquarius and Taurus people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 19, 36, 26, 2 and 12.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your small gestures will have big meaning.

That’s how closely people are watching you, though most of the attention they pay you may be on a subconscious level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A personal interaction will be thoroughly rewarding. You will satisfy someone’s need and make that person happy. Your act, in turn, will fulfill you on a deep emotional level.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll have access to a person who can seriously help you out -- more than a little.

Maybe one phone call or meeting is all you need to start the ball rolling. Practice what you’ll say first to work out the kinks.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know that a change is coming. The question is whether it’s best or even possible to consciously guide the change instead of letting it wash over you and happen the way it happens.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are one of those unique creatures who can actually be creative even when you are tense. That’s why you deal with deadlines so well. Still, your best work usually comes when you are relaxed and joyful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will know you have arrived because you will no longer feel like you have anywhere to go. Maybe this is a temporary destination -- a plateau of sorts. But enjoy it and celebrate it for now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be strong, happy and confident -- that is, until a certain someone enters the picture and makes you go all mushy. This person may be your kryptonite, but just like Superman, you will always find a

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, May 26, the 146th day of 2011. There are 219 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 26, 1940, the evacuation of more than 338,000 Allied troops from Dunkirk, France, began during World War II. On this date: In 1521, Martin Luther was banned by the Edict of Worms (vohrms) because of his religious beliefs and writings.

In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson ended with his acquittal on the remaining charges.

In 1913, Actors’ Equity Association was organized in New York.

In 1938, the House Un-American Activities Committee was established by Congress.

In 1941, the American Flag House, where Betsy Ross once lived, was donated to the city of Philadelphia.

In 1960, U.N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge accused the Soviets of hiding a microphone inside a wood carving of the Great Seal of the United States that had been presented to the U.S. embassy in Moscow.

In 1969, the Apollo 10 astronauts returned to Earth after a successful eight-day dress rehearsal for the first manned moon landing.

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in Moscow. (The U.S. withdrew from the treaty in 2002.)

In 1981, 14 people were killed when a Marine jet crashed onto the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz off Florida.

In 1991, a Lauda Air Boeing 767 crashed in Thailand, killing all 223 people aboard.

One year ago: BP launched its latest bid to plug the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico by force-feeding it heavy drilling mud, a maneuver known as a “top kill” which proved unsuccessful. TV personality Art Linkletter died in Los Angeles at age 97. Lee DeWyze was crowned the winner of “American Idol” over Crystal Bowersox.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: For the past 10 summers, “Dan and Kelly” have stopped at our house on the way to visit their relatives up north. It’s a long trip, so they often need to stop at a motel before reaching our place. Sometimes they stay with us overnight, and other times, it can be as long as five days.

My husband and I sleep in different bedrooms. He gave up his bed for Dan and Kelly. Two weeks after their last visit, he was eaten up with bug bites, even though the sheets had been washed. We inspected and, sure enough, found bedbugs. We had to have a pest control company spray our entire house, and we took comforters, blankets and pillows to the local laundry since they were too big for my machines.

Thankfully, we haven’t had any repeats, but the bill was nearly $500.

Dan and Kelly are coming through again this summer.

How can we make sure this won’t happen again? We never mentioned the bugs to them (can you say “awkward”?), nor did they say a word to us, even though they must have taken those bugs with them to their relatives. I am not worried about the money, although I don’t want a repeat of that bill.

The main thing is, I don’t want any more bedbugs. How can we approach this with them? Or do we? -- Itching in Ky. Dear Itching: Your letter made us itch. Bedbugs have become an epidemic lately, and they are a particular problem in hotels, motels, apartment buildings, condominiums and anywhere large numbers of people share living space.

Fortunately, most of these places have taken great pains to see that bedbugs are no longer an issue, but you should not assume that Dan and Kelly are bug free. When they call to say they’re headed your way, tell them, “You know, we had a bedbug problem several months ago and just want to be sure you are careful when you travel.” Also, be sure to inspect the bed after they leave (and before you sleep on it).

Dear Annie: I was friends with “Jill” until I heard her unkindly (and unjustly) gossip about one of our mutual friends.

It made me wonder what sort of things she was saying about me when I wasn’t around. I stopped trusting her and calling her.

When Jill phoned to ask what was going on, I told her the truth. We enjoy each other’s company, so we patched things up. But then we attended a small dinner party, and she again started in on this mutual friend, telling me all about her facelift. I thought she was petty and inappropriate.

This friend doesn’t know Jill gossips about her, and I would never hurt her feelings by telling her. The two of them are still friends. I have once again cut off contact with Jill, who seems to be turning into her mother -- a faultfinding gossip. Should I have handled this differently? -- Sherman Oaks, Calif.

Dear California: No. Choosing to distance yourself from a mean-spirited gossip is simply good sense, and you gave Jill the opportunity to watch her words. If she should try to mend fences again, feel free to explain your position. Jill can learn to modify her behavior if someone helps her be more aware of it.

Dear Annie: I have been following the discussion from those who have lost their spouses and their friends. I lost my husband last year and am only now 60, so not housebound.

I know people have their own lives and families, and I just don’t fit in anymore. I know I need to build a new life.

But old friends don’t know how much their silence hurts.

Friends of more than 30 years are just gone.

I hope anyone reading these letters who has a friend who is now alone will take a minute to call just to say hello. They have no idea how much that simple act of kindness would mean. -- Simi Valley, Calif.

New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association pumps more than $200,000 into technical education CONCORD — The New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association (NHADA) has pumped over $200,000 into technical education, promoting scholarship throughout the state over the last 13 years. This year alone, the trade association has contributed more than $17,000 to aspiring students with an interest in the motor vehicle trades.

Association members long ago agreed that by helping to provide better-educated well-trained young professionals, stronger partnerships would be forged between New Hampshire’s motor vehicle retail, manufacturing, and educational institutions.

The scholarships are intended to attract the best students to careers in the motor vehicle trades.

Created in 1998, the NHADA’s affiliate organization, the non-profit NH Automotive Education Foundation (NHAEF), has been awarding scholarships to promising Granite State high school students in automotive technology schools. One such student, noteworthy for his accomplishments, is Adam Minihan, a graduate of the automotive technologies program at Lakes Region Community College (LRCC).

“In addition to providing a scholarship toward tuition at LRCC, NHAEF has provided me with money needed toward travel to Kansas City to compete at a national level after winning the NH post-secondary Skills USA automotive technology contest,” Minihan said. “LRCC has provided me with the education to be able to compete against the best in the country, and I am truly thankful to both the college and NHAEF,” he added.

Ten scholarships were awarded this year by the NHAEF to students studying at technical colleges throughout New Hampshire.

“We believe in funding automo-

tive scholarships, so much so, AutoServ has provided over $15,000 in our own automotive scholarship to Winnisquam Regional High School graduates pursuing automotive tech as a career. So it’s an honor to also be involved with NHADA’s statewide scholarship program because we know it gives students who have the interest and talent for a career in this field the opportunity to advance their education and it’s more likely their talent stays in New Hampshire,” said Denise Gaudet, CEO of the AutoServ Family of Dealerships.

“The scholarships provided by NHAEF are a great help for those students pursuing a career in automotive and collision repair,” said Karl Wunderlich, associate professor of collision repair at Nashua Community College and chairperson of automotive, collision repair and Honda PACT technology.

“With the cost of a college education today, this greatly helps students obtain an affordable education right here in New Hampshire,” he said.

NHAEF scholarships were awarded in conjunction with the mobile equipment technology program at White Mountains Community College, the NH’s Skills USA competition, and the Ford/AAA Troubleshooting contest.

Scholarships are presented to qualified students by the trade association.

New Hampshire students looking to further their education in automotive technology, collision repair, and mobile equipment technology at one of the state’s community colleges, are encouraged to apply for financial aid through NHAEF at www.nhada.com/Scholarships. Students in these programs can also “earn while they learn” through an internship set up between their respective technical school and a local automotive-related business, thus creating obvious economic advantages to all concerned.
