GOP dilemma is how to attract new votes without irking base

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican Party, having lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, confronts a dilemma that’s easier to describe than to solve: How can it broaden its appeal to upfor-grabs voters without alienating its conservative base?

There’s no consensus yet on how to do it. With the next election three years away, Republicans are tiptoeing around policy changes even as they size up potential candidates who range from tea party heroes to pragmatic governors in Republican- and Democratic-leaning states.

There’s a partial road map, but it’s more than two decades old, and the other party drafted it. Democrats, sick of losing elections and being tagged as out-oftouch liberals, moved their party toward the center and rallied behind Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton in 1992.

Strategists in both parties say Clinton’s achievement, however impressive, may look modest compared to what a Republican see GOP page 4

Anthem will be only seller of online Obamacare insurance in N.H. CONCORD (AP) — Consumer and small business advocates in New Hampshire are disappointed but not surprised that only one company plans to sell insurance through the new online marketplaces required under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

Companies have until June 1 to submit applications to the state, but an official with Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield of New Hampshire said last week that it is the only insurer that has applied to sell

either individual or small group plans through the new markets. The insurance department confirmed that is the case.

For Scott Baetz, co-chairman of a panel advising the state on implementing the overhaul law, the news was the latest in what he called a series of potential disappointments.

“This is really disheartening,” said Baetz, who owns a five-person Web development company in Windham and represents small business interests on the advisory board.

“At this point, I don’t how much value it’s going to bring to small businesses,” he said. “I feel like small businesses have been pushed to the side or into a holding pattern. And for a state like New Hampshire, that has so many small businesses, it’s really preventing us from realizing the full scope of benefits that were the intention of the Affordable Care Act.” The law requires each state to have a Small Business Health Options Program, see ANTHEM page 11

McCain makes trip to civil-war-torn Syria to visit with rebels WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John McCain quietly slipped into Syria for a meeting with Syrian rebels on Monday.

Spokeswoman Rachael Dean confirms the Arizona Republican made the visit. She declined further comment about the trip.

The visit took place amid meetings in Paris involving efforts to secure participation of Syria’s fractured opposition in an international peace conference in Geneva.

Two years of violence in Syria has

killed more than 70,000 people. President Barack Obama has demanded that Syrian President Bashar Assad leave power, while Russia has stood by Syria, its closest ally in the Arab world.

McCain has been a leading proponent of arming the rebels and other aggressive military steps against the Assad regime.

He has criticized Obama administration policy there while stopping short of backing U.S. ground troops in Syria.

The White House did not respond to a request from The Associated Press for comment.

Last Tuesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to provide weapons to rebels in Syria, as well as military training to vetted rebel groups and sanctions against anyone who sells oil or transfers arms to the Assad regime. McCain is a member of the committee.

‘A time of remembrance for those who gave their lives to preserve our freedoms’ LACONIA — Mayor Michael Seymour told those attending Laconia’s Memorial Day service at Veterans Square Monday that the day should be thought of as more than just an occasion for cookouts and family gatherings. ‘’It’s a time of remembrance for those who gave their lives to preserve our freedoms. Their sacrifice should be remembered every day, 365 days a year,’’ said Seymour.

He quoted President William Henry Harrison (1841) who once said that he couldn’t view Memorial Day as a day when flags only flew at half staff and said that those who had given their lives would feel the same way.

Seymour said that Harrison had famously said of the fallen servicemen ‘’Keep our flag flying high and proud, for that is what they want,’’ VFW Post 1670 Commander Glen Groleau said that those who had died on behalf of their country had ‘’full faith in their mission’’ and that is important to honor their dedication.

A large turnout was on hand to watch the the parade, which started at Garfield Street and headed up South Main Street where it stopped at the Main Street bridge where Groleau dropped a wreath into the Winnipesaukee River in honor of those who died at sea in service of the nation.

The line of march then continued up Main Street to Veterans Square, where a service was held, which featured 90-year-old World War II veteran Norman Dionne singing the national anthem.

GOP from page 2 leader must do to construct a new winning formula, given the nation’s changing demographics.

“Our challenge was to get voters back,” said Al From, a chief architect of Clinton’s political rise.

“Their challenge is harder: get voters to come into a new coalition.”

That will be complicated, From said, because the

Republicans’ conservative base “is more demanding and more important” than the Democrats’ liberal base.

An array of Republican campaign veterans agree.

They say the party’s loyal base of conservative activists — including evangelical Christians, anti-tax crusaders and anti-abortion advocates — is too big, ideological and vital to be treated with anything but

Proposed fee to drive into U.S. drawing protest in towns that border Canada SEATTLE (AP) — By Michael Hill’s estimation, 90 percent of the people pumping gas at his station just south of the U.S.-Canada border in Washington state are Canadians.

Gas north of the 49th parallel, he said, is about $1.30 per gallon more expensive than in the United States.

But that’s not the only product that Canadians seek in visits to Washington state: Beer, wine and milk are significantly cheaper (beer and wine alone are roughly half the price in the U.S.).

Add a strong Canadian dollar and the result is a key element of the economy in the towns of Whatcom County.

For example, the town of Blaine, population just shy of 5,000, generates over $225,000 from a penny per gallon gas tax, which is about 30 percent of its street maintenance budget.

That’s why Hill and others are troubled by the notion of charging a fee to enter the U.S. by land. Last month, in its 2014 fiscal year budget proposal, the Department of Homeland Security requested permission to study a fee at the nation’s land border crossings.

“It’s a deterrent,” said Hill, whose station is fully stocked with wine and has a reader board that says “Thank you Canadians.”

“They should be doing anything they can to get them down here to buy more,” he added.

That lone request sparked wide opposition among members of Congress from northern states, who vowed to stop it. A fee, they say, would hurt communities on the border that rely on people, goods and money moving between the U.S. and Canada.

“The imposition of such a toll would act as a barrier to the greater eco-

nomic integration that we seek, and is the absolute last thing we should be doing to grow our economy,” stated a letter sent to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano earlier this month signed by 18 Republican and Democratic House lawmakers.

Democrat U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont is sponsoring an amendment to the immigration reform bill that bars Homeland Security from conducting the study. The senator has also promised to stop any funding for the study. In the House, Democrat Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington state introduced a bill to stop the creation of a fee.

This week an amendment by Democrat Rep. Bill Owens of New York to stop the study was introduced to the House to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Bill.

Lawmakers and people from the southern border, though, did not show such strong opposition, highlighting a north-south divide on how to pay for border infrastructure.

Democrat Congressman Ruben E. Hinojosa, who represents a district in Texas that includes McAllen and its nearby border region, said fees would be good if the revenue stream is used to improve infrastructure.

“I would support crossing fees only if the funds garnered would be used to upgrade our facilities, provide better equipment for our agents, or used for the hiring of more agents at our border crossings,” Hinojosa said.

Currently it costs nothing to enter the country by land. Air and sea crossings already have a fee of under $2, which are included in ticket prices.

from preceding page one who can appeal to less ideological voters without prompting conservatives to feel their principles are losing primacy.

Several veteran strategists say Republicans should focus less on modifying their ideas than on improving their campaign mechanics and finding nominees with broader personal appeal than Mitt Romney, John McCain and Bob Dole.

“The foundation of the party as a conservative party hasn’t been the principal liability, but the principal asset,” said GOP campaign strategist Terry Holt.

“Among every voter group there are people who share our values,” Holt said. The key to winning, he said, is to perform better at “micro-targeting” and other techniques designed to find and motivate potential voters.

In that area, he said, “the other party is about half a light year ahead of us.”

Arizona-based Republican consultant Eddie Mahe said finding a charismatic candidate is more important than tweaking policies. Given Americans’ low opinion of politics, he said, “to sell the party as a party is nonsensical.”

Instead, Mahe said, Republicans must pick a nominee who appeals “to the non-voters, disinterested voters, the uninformed — whatever you want to call them — who are attracted to a personality, someone they feel good about.”

The Republican who comes closest to that description, he said, is Rep.

Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, a tea party favorite. But Mahe said he doubts she could win a general election.

Dan Schnur, a former aide to President George W. Bush who teaches political science at the University of Southern California, said: “Parties don’t remake parties.

Leaders remake parties.”

Schnur agrees that Clinton was a gifted politician, but he also had some help and luck, which Republicans will need, too.

Clinton has acknowledged that Gary Hart began tugging the Democratic Party from its liberal and outdated moorings in 1984 and 1988, even if he eventually fell short of the nominations. And a 1992 candidacy by New York governor and liberal hero Mario Cuomo might have doomed Clinton’s lean-to-the-center strategy.

Republicans “need a Gary Hart before they get a Bill Clinton,” Schnur said. And they may have trouble narrowing the ideological field in the 2016 primary and beyond, which could force the eventual nominee to embrace hard-right principles that excite GOP activists but turn off independent voters.

A 97-page post-mortem, commissioned by the Republican Party after Romney’s loss last fall, said the GOP “is increasingly marginalizing itself, and unless changes are made, it will be increasingly difficult for Republicans to win another presidential election in the near future.”

It’s time to act President George Washington said, “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation.”

The man who was, arguably, our greatest president, set the standard for how we should respect and treat those who have fought, first to bring us freedom and then, to ensure that we retain it. What is now sadly interesting is how we glamorize some things, and ignore others. For sure, a good deal of the blame belongs to the media but that doesn’t excuse us, we the people, for ignoring things of importance . . . like respecting our military and our veterans.

Among the sadly interesting occurrences within the last few weeks has been the media attention about California attorney Judy Clark. This women gained a reputation for defending people like Ted Kaczynski, the unibomber, who killed three people and wounded twenty three others, Eric Rudolph, the Atlanta Olympics bomber, one killed and 111 wounded, and Jared Laughner, the man who shot and killed six people and wounded 12 others, including Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Ms. Clark’s specialty it seems is plea bargaining to prevent the possibility of her clients receiving the death penalty. While I have never been an advocate for the death penalty, I must admit that I do get bothered by the “celebrity attorneys” who step in to give an edge to the most heinous killers. Of course it’s the media that provides Ms. Clark and the killers with their celebrity status.

And when a marginal professional basketball player nearing the end of his career announces he is gay, the print and electronic media simply can’t get enough of the story.

From what I could gather, Jason Collins is a fine person, so this is not meant to disparage him in any way.

It is a matter of comparison . . . how the media creates stardom for some while ignoring others who are truly deserving of attention.

For example . . .

I have always admired how the Israeli military has committed itself to preserving and protecting its citizens and its soldiers. Two incidents stand out. The first is the Israeli Defense Force commandos’ night time raid on Entebbe. After the 2,500 mile trip, 100 commandos rescued 102 Israeli citizens who had been held hostage on a hi-jacked Air France plane. Three hostages died, as did 45 Ugandan soldiers.

Another incident concerns Israeli soldier, Corporal Gilad Shalit. He was captured by Hamas and held prisoner for almost five and a half years. During that time, the Israeli citizens and soldiers never gave up hope. They held prayer vigils. They made prisoner exchange offers.

Finally the Israeli offer of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli Corporal was accepted.

Jubilation reigned in Israel . . . they never gave up on life.

For a moment, think about the power of the press. It can make a marginal NBA player a star because he was the first player to announce that he is gay. It can push aside the horror of the Boston Marathon bomber’s acts in order to tell us that he will have a famous celebrity attorney. While, in Israel, the media can happily announce the rescue of hostages and the joy of a nation upon the return of one of their soldiers.

But in the United States, where we expect freedom to ring out, we hear nary a word about one of our soldiers held captive by al-Qaeda.

Our media, with its incredible power to inform, and to influence, sits idle while one of our soldiers, Private First Class (now Sergeant) Bowe Bergdahl, has been held prisoner in Afghanistan since June of 2009. Where is our commando rescue raid? Where is our prisoner negotiation exchange package?

My friend Bob Jones, himself a twice wounded veteran, offered me this citation from Bill Casey. Casey, who performed meritoriously in Europe for the OSS during WW II, and later served as Director of the CIA during the Reagan Administration. When asked of the POW’s left behind at the end of the Vietnam War, Casey stated,”We know who they are and where they are and that is where they are going to stay until there is a groundswell of support to bring them home”. Our Prisoner of War, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl needs that groundswell of support . . . now!

Isn’t it time for our media to put pressure on our politicians to insist on rescuing Bergdahl? Isn’t it time that we again start to refer to our captured military as “Prisoners of War”, and not simply as “missing, captured”. Isn’t it time that we, you and me, begin pestering our politicians, Shea-Porter (202-225-5456), Kuster (202-225-5206), Shaheen (202-224-2841), and Ayotte (202224-3324), to do the right thing?

Isn’t it time that every veterans group in the country pushed all the political buttons needed to rescue our soldier?

What would George Washington do? What would the Israeli’s do?

And, what will you do?

LETTERS What’s truly important is our wonderful theatre community To the editor, The gala opening of the New Winnipesaukee Playhouse Mainstage Theatre on our Meredith campus is happening on June 1. The completion of this wonderful new building is a major achievement. But I realized on Saturday that what we’ve been building for the past nine years is an even bigger achievement and one more valuable to me than our new facility. When Johanna and I left our good jobs and our good friends in the Boston area to move to central New Hampshire to an area we had only recently discovered and in which we knew nobody, we did so with the dream of finding a community of people to share our love of theatre with and to share our lives with — a theatre community if you will. We wanted to build a place where we could work together and include our children. We wanted to create a theatre organization that people would want to invest their time and passion in — onstage and off, in good times and bad.

On a Saturday of a long holiday weekend over 20 members of the Playhouse community came out to lug boxes, chairs, platforms, props, costumes, install flooring, watch our children and more for hours in the rain and cold and mud to help us get the theatre ready for June 1. They did it because they know this new theatre is their new theatre because they are part of the Winni Playhouse community. Some have been with us since the beginning and others are new to the team. Without fail, our Playhouse community is made up of selfless people who set an example for my kids to follow far better than any I could set. I am constantly amazed

at how generous our supporters are with their time when we need help, and more amazingly how genuinely appreciative they are about the opportunities our little Playhouse presents to them which makes them willingly come out and spend a bleak, rainy day making our job getting ready for the opening just a little bit easier.

So while the new building IS amazing and it will be very exciting on June 1 to celebrate its opening with our friends and supporters, at the end of the day it is just a building. What’s truly important to me is our wonderful and vibrant theatre community that will fill it with thrills, laughter, tears and music for years to come. Not part of it yet? What are you waiting for? Find a way to get involved — onstage, behind-the-scenes, from the audience - because believe it or not our inclusive community only gets better and better as more people get involved. And you get to be a part of some great theatre too!

A heartfelt thanks from Johanna, Lesley, Neil and I to Sue Needleman, Trevor Slauenwhite, Jim and Judi Rogato, Diane Nickerson, Diane and Chuck Fray, Tammy McGonagle, Kathleen Hill, Doreen and Matt Richards, Liz Rohdenburg, Ray and Lori Boelig, Rene Boelig, Rodney Martell, Johan Anderson, Lea and Lissa Mascio; staff members Becky Marsh, Kate Boucher and Josh Jansen who all volunteered on their day off; and family members Alan and Paula Halperin, Jonathan and Glenna Lee, Andrea Levitt and Tony Hatoun.

Fault on both sides of the aisle for push to deregulate derivatives To the editor, A recent New York Times article brought to light current legislation passed by the House Financial Services Committee. The legislation which passed with a vote of 53-6, allows for the deregulation of derivatives. This practice of deregulation was at the cornerstone of this country’s financial disaster five years ago.

In addition to the stupidity of repeating such policy, the legislation was largely written (70 of the 85 lines) by Citigroup. Unbelievable!

Fault can be found on both sides of the aisle. Every Democrat, Republican and independent should be outraged by the actions of the House Financial Services Committee. They may have a short memory about the country’s economic downfall five years ago, but many U.S. citizens, especially the middle class have not forgotten. I encourage all citizens to research this legislation and contact ones representatives regarding your position on the matter.

LETTERS Seeds for this feud were sown by commissioners 2 years ago

Comprehensive Immigration Reform will harm most Americans

To the editor, The post and pre-election political diatribe regarding Belknap County Convention is not justified or deserved, but not unexpected. Laws are not obscure regarding county PUBLIC BUSINESS. Clearly, the Right-to-Know is the law which keeps the public apprised of the actions of the elected official.

Other laws such as county appropriation laws require the commissioners to propose a budget. After the convention resolution of its annual budget or supplemental budgets, other laws require the commissioners to administer the individual appropriation for the individual purposes, annually.

Nothing is obscure regarding RSA 24:14, I — Appropriations by the county convention shall be itemized in detail and a record thereof shall be kept by the clerk of the convention. The executive committee of the county shall have authority to review the expenditures of the county after adoption of the county budget. Such review may occur as often as voted by the executive committee, but no less than twice each year. The convention may require the county commissioners to report once each quarter to the convention or to the executive committee the expenditures of the county as compared to the budget as voted, in such detail as determined by the convention. The county convention may require that the county commissioners obtain written authority from the executive committee before transferring any appropriation or part thereof under RSA 24:15. The county convention may adopt a policy regarding the acceptance of grants.

I-a. In this chapter, an appropriation means an amount of money authorized for a specified purpose by the legislative body.

To invoke provisions in the law requiring the county commissioners to obtain written authority from the executive committee before transferring any appropriation or part thereof under RSA 24:15 should be commended. Enforcement of laws that habitually have been considered

To the editor, Soon Congress will decide what to do about 11 to 33 million illegal aliens who are only here because politicians didn’t enforce our laws and didn’t keep their promises to close the border and end illegal immigration.

Few other issues more clearly show the difference between government for the people and government for the special interests. Illegal aliens harm Americans in many ways, e.g., by criminal acts, by stressing schools and hospitals, by taking jobs and depressing wages, and by forcing higher taxes to fund welfare for illegal aliens and the American workers they harm.

Illegal aliens benefit businesses, government workers and their unions, criminals, politicians and various special interests.

Politicians say we need the “Gang of Eight’s” Comprehensive Immigration Reforms (created with input from special interest groups but not from law enforcement (ICE)). I have a bridge to sell to anyone who believes this bill will fix the illegal alien problem or benefit most Americans.

They say illegal aliens will pay back-taxes and fines. The typical illegal alien has a 10th grade education and competes with the lowest income Americans. People with these incomes don’t pay federal taxes, they get subsidies. Will they pay any meaningful fines? No. The subsidies they receive will greatly exceed any taxes or fines they pay.

Why has the 2013/14 convention taken action to introduce the long needed checks and balance? Back on December 06, 2010 the newly elected delegation held the convention’s organizational meeting. At that meeting, following the election of officer and executive committee at-large officers, a presentation by the commission of its proposed budget for FY 2011/12 took place. No record of a “Public Hearing” is recorded.

On 20 December 2010, “the chairman (Rep. Alida Millham) reviewed the Right-to-Know Law and asked everyone to read it. Everyone understood the open, public process that will be followed.”

On 14 March 2011 convention meeting re: Public Hearing on 2011 Belknap County Budget: “Rep. Accornero then asked the commissioners if they planned to do whatever they want with the stimulus money regardless of what the delegation says? He demanded a Yes or No answer. Commissioner Philpot responded by saying that they have different jobs (delegation and commissioners). It is the commissioners job to manage the affairs of the county and the day to day operations and they will not delegate that responsibility.

It is what they are elected to do. The commissioners need to do their job and the delegation needs to do it’s.”

“Rep. Accornero followed up by again saying that the commissioners just give the delegation the budget and then they say that they will do what they want anyway. Commissioner Thomas reminded him that the commissioners have statutory responsibilities and there are statutory responsibilities of the delegation.”

The line in the sand was drawn, hence began the frustration of the 2011/12 convention and the current 2013/14 convention.

of the taxes they pay) to full welfare benefits, provided by real taxpayers, worth $35,113 per household for 13 years. This won’t be enforced. Illegals shouldn’t get welfare now!

Politicians say illegals must go to the back of the line for citizenship. Want to bet? Politicians say their plan isn’t amnesty. Maybe they’re right. Rewarding, rather than penalizing, people for breaking our laws is far worse than just amnesty, it’s amnesty plus!

Politicians say we can’t be tough on illegal aliens because it hurts their children. Maybe they think we shouldn’t imprison robbers, rapists, and murderers because it hurts their children...?

Politicians say they will build the fence and stop illegal immigration.

They broke these promises before.

Where is the fence they promised just a few years ago? They shouldn’t get to deceive us again.

The “Gang of Eight’s” Comprehensive Immigration Reform will continue to harm most Americans. It’s time to stand up for American citizens, not let them be harmed to benefit illegal aliens, politicians, businessmen, and other special interest groups.

Tell Senators Ayotte and Shaheen, Congresswomen Kuster and SheaPorter, and President Obama to reject Comprehensive Immigration Reform and all its false promises. Just close the border, stop all taxpayer provided subsidies for illegal aliens, and enforce severe penalties for knowingly employing illegal aliens.

RAIN from page 2 “We’re hopeful, but at this point, you just don’t know,” his father, Kenneth Adams, told The Associated Press as his wife stood nearby. “It’s very hard. We’re just keeping the faith.”

The search effort included helicopters, divers and rescue teams in inflatable boats.

The usually dry creek in Schertz, northeast of San Antonio, had dropped about 10 feet since Saturday. Other rivers in the San Antonio area and surrounding counties continued to drop after peaking above the flood stage, but flood warnings remained in effect Sunday. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for seven counties until 6 p.m. Sunday, saying thunderstorms could produce heavy rainfall.

Two women died Saturday after being swept away by floodwaters, some as high as 10 feet on some roads. One who was trapped in her car climbed to the roof before being swept away, and her body was found against a fence, said San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove. Emergency officials also recovered the body of a woman in her 60s, whose car was carried away by water as firefighters were trying to rescue her. Authorities did not immediately identify the women who died.

On Sunday, about 20 people were at a shelter set up by the American Red Cross, including some whose apartment complex roof caved in under the weight of the heavy rainfall.

Roxanne DeLeon arrived there Sunday with her 18-month-old son, 6-year-old daughter, 15-year-old daughter and husband, a day after escaping through waist-deep water in their rented home with nothing but what they were wearing, her purse and some diapers. They didn’t even have time to grab shoes.

DeLeon said they spent the night on the floor of a relative’s home because family members don’t have enough room for all of them, and their insurance agent cannot provide help that would get them into a motel or apartment until after Memorial Day.

Grant funds are critical for those most in need of heath insurance To the editor, In just a matter of months, New Hampshire will have a new “Health Benefit Marketplace” where Granite Staters can more easily shop for health insurance through a “one-stop shop” that facilitates apples-to-apples comparisons of insurance plans. Many will be able to buy insurance using premium tax credits.

Knowing how to use the new online Marketplace and understanding the insurance plans available will be critical, especially for “pre-Medicare” seniors who may have health issues, people seeking coverage for the first time and people with disabilities.

Giving these people the information they need to be able to access the Marketplace and an understanding of what’s newly available is critically important, not just for their understanding of how the Marketplace works, but also for their health.

Unfortunately, few people in New Hampshire know about the changes coming or have the information they need to make the best choice about what plan to buy and how to access financial assistance.

New Hampshire has been awarded a grant to fully fund an effort designed to provide crucial information to residents and their families to help them learn of and understand their new options for coverage and financial assistance. This will provide everyone in N.H. the information needed to make informed decisions. We will be able to make sure that those uninsured residents who have never had health coverage before and who may need extra help navigating the new

system can get help from trained “assistors.” This effort would be designed in New Hampshire for New Hampshire residents. In other words: local control of local information.

Currently, the N.H. Legislature is considering whether they should accept these funds into the state. Time is ticking. Please contact your legislators and let them know that without access to these grant funds, N.H. residents with the greatest need for assistance won’t get it. And local service agencies, who are already doing more with less, will be left face to face with a lost and confused clientele, wondering why we don’t have the resources to help them.

Let’s provide the information everyone needs to use the Marketplace effectively. Let’s give local agencies a chance to provide assistance to people where they live or work.

Please contact your legislators and ask for their support of these funds to provide vital services for our community. You can find out who your local legislator is through the NH General Court website at http://www.gencourt. state.nh.us/.

If you enjoy fine music, come to Sant Bani and see what’s there To the editor, Last night was the final concert in the Chamber Music Series for this school year at the Sant Bani School in Sanbornton. I’ve enjoyed them for years now, and I always wonder to myself, “Some of the best music being played on this planet tonight is being played here, at this small school at the end of a dirt road in Sanbornton, NH”.

I thought that again last night, listening to Dvorak pieces played by the Tempest Trio, who have performed at many of the world’s top concert venues.

The audience is always enthusiastic, often expressing the same wonder as we chat — isn’t this amazing?

I also thought, why not say to

anyone who doesn’t know about these concerts, “If you enjoy fine music, come to Sant Bani and see what’s here.” The atmosphere is congenial, the musicians are wonderful, the intermission refreshments by the parents are excellent, it’s all amazing and it’s here.

I realize this is the end for this year, and the schedule for next year’s series isn’t formally announced yet, but the school website will have it in time.

And I do know that the first concert is expected to be at the beginning of October. I really urge readers to take a look for themselves.

Grant money will go elsewhere, leaving us with our problem To the editor, I have found that certain townies in the Town of Sanbornton have no knowledge of the Black Brook Watershed Management Plan. Our Budget Committee did not endorse the general provisions, which was in turn turned down by the few followers that voted it down. I would have to think three letters have something to do with this discussion: DES. I also believe that our town selectman at least were informed and understand the consideration of this grant to protect our Lake Winnisquam our greatest natural resource since

a Budget Committee chairman who is also a contractor should have done his homework to protect his area in which he lives and works.

Phosphorus and sediment is bad for our lake and the future of our natural resource. Blackbrook Watershed protection needs were made known last year when the Watershed Study, funded by a matching grant, was completed. Erosion and milfoil/ algae problems identified in the Management Plan needed to be addressed.

Sanbornton’s failure to approved the proposed funding at Town Meeting means this will not be done. For a

MURDERS from page one As of last night, Sawn P. Carter was being held on unrelated charges in the Belknap County House of Corrections.

Charged with one count of driving after revocation and one count of violation of a bail order, he is scheduled to appear by video on those charges this morning in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

According to the Belmont Police log, Shawn Carter was arrested on May 22 by police on a bench warrant issued from the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division. The outcome of that police encounter is unknown.

The owner of the Sunset Drive home from preceding page mere $13,406, (our share of the matching grant) , sediment traps and stormwater management devices budgeted for this year will not be installed, and the $20,000 matching grant money we rejected will go to another community seeking to address their local pollution problems, while leaving our pollution problem still to be solved.

said he rented the home to Priscilla Carter and her two sons about six weeks ago. He said the family came from the Lord Hampshire Motel and condominiums with good recommendations.

He described Priscilla Carter as a nice woman and said Timothy often worked along side his own son doing some work on the house he owns next door to the one the Carter family rented.

Priscilla Carter’s nephew Thomas Elliot III of Massachusetts remembers his aunt as a “really nice and caring woman.”

“She was just an all around great person to be around,” he said, noting Priscilla Carter worked at one point at J. Jill and “though she didn’t have much was willing to share what she did have.”

He also remembered his cousin Timothy as being a lot like his mother. Elliot said he “was laid-back” and “more than willing to held people in need.”

He said Timothy was “more dependent” on his mother than was Shawn and he was surprised to hear Shawn was living with his mother and brother. see next page

ANTHEM from page 2 or SHOP exchange, through which employers can offer workers a choice of qualified health plans from several insurers. But the employee choice provision has been delayed until 2015, meaning Baetz wouldn’t be able let his workers choose policies that meet their diverse needs next year even if companies other than Anthem were participating.

“It’s disappointing we’re not going to realize the full breadth of benefits,” he said. “And my fear is it may never be realized because we seem to be continually pushed back.”

For individuals, the new markets will offer a choice of private health plans resembling what workers at large companies already get. The government will help many middle-class households pay their preMEMORIAL from page one “I like it. I like it very much,” said Carole Bartlett, Alan’s mother of the memorial’s new home in front of the town library. “It’s permanent and more people will be able to see it.”

While Alan was unable to join yesterday’s Memorial Day ceremonies, Both Carole and Wayne Bartlett stood proud and the scouts, under the leadership of Senior Patrol Leader Alex Carmody raised the American flag, the N.H. State flag and the POW flag in their rededication service.

According to Wayne Bartlett, Alan’s father, the project began in 2004 and was originally a 4-foot by 8-foot granite wall at the end of what used to be call Mill Street Extension.

“It was built down by the playground center,” said Wayne Bartlett who said the only thing left down there now is the lilac bushes.

Wayne Bartlett said the entire project took about 800 hours and he remembered that his son’s fellow scouts, his family and “even people who jut stopped by” helped with the project.

He said the only set back was when two teenage girls “tore it apart.” He said the police caught up with them about a week later and part of their punishment was to help finish the memorial.

“I know one of those girls felt really bad,” Wayne Bartlett remembered, calling the vandalism a senseless prank by teenagers “looking for something to do.”

Despite the setback, Wayne Bartlett said the project was finished in August of 2004.

He said the only thing the town was unable to transfer was the tear drop flower bed but he heard the town was going to build a small cement tear drop as a remembrance.

About 150 people participated in yesterday’s ceremony and the parade that went before it.

Selectman Chair Ron Cormier said the the board was thrilled that the monument was in a prominent area in the village and was really happy with the way it was relocated. from preceding page Because Elliot is not a direct relative he said he has been kept in the dark by authorities who continue to investigate the double homicide. He said he hadn’t seen his aunt or his cousins since his own father died in 2008.

When asked his opinion of Shawn Carter, Elliot said he didn’t “really care for him very much.”

“He’s a bit of an (expletive), Elliot said.

Elliot also said Priscilla has a daughter who, the last he remembered, lived in Vermont.

The double murder also triggered an apparently related “soft-lock down” at the campus of the InterLakes Regional School District. Meredith and N.H. State Police surrounded the campus until 3 p.m. on Friday refusing to allow anyone in or out of the buildings.

Elliot said Shawn Carter has two daughters and he thought they went to school in the area but didn’t know exactly which district.

miums, while low-income people will be referred to safety-net programs for which they might qualify.

Like Baetz, Lisa Kaplan Howe also was disappointed that uninsured individuals won’t have as much choice as she had hoped. She is the policy director at Voices for Health and represents consumers on the advisory board.

“We were hopeful that there would be an opportunity for people to compare costs across carriers,” Howe said. “But it’s always a delicate balance. One thing we were concerned about was having a huge number of plans because having an overwhelming number of choices is not a meaningful choice.”

Some insurers may be waiting to see how things play out the first year, she said, noting that New Hampshire was slower than many states in deciding whether to set up its own marketplaces or let the federal government run things. And the state could explore strategies to bring more carriers in, such as requiring all carriers with a certain presence in the state to participate.

Anthem is one of four companies licensed to sell individ-

ual plans outside the new marketplaces in New Hampshire and one of six licensed to sell small group policies. In the new marketplaces, enrollment starts Oct. 1 with coverage taking effect Jan. 1.After that, virtually everyone in the country will be required by law to have health insurance or face fines.

Elsewhere in the country, a bit of a pattern has emerged, with New England states tending to have fewer participating insurers, said Caroline Pearson, vice president of the health consulting company Avalere Health. Vermont, for example, has two companies participating; Rhode Island will have two carriers in the individual exchange and three in the small group exchange. That stands in contrast to the rest of the country, where there has been a fairly large turnout in most states, she said.

“Exchanges draw new carriers to the market in a broader way than they have operated before, but they’re being very strategic about where they go. So we’re seeing the bigger states that have more meaningful population attracting new health plans, and the small states, not surprisingly, are being left with the plans that are already there.”

Muskrats GM sees pieces coming together for 2013 season

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Noah Crane, general manager of the Laconia Muskrats, recalls a distinct sensation of inexperience he felt four years ago, when he and his family brought the amateur, wooden-bat New England Collegiate Baseball League team to Laconia. With every step, he’s learned a bit more, and this year he thinks the team could set a new high point, both in terms of on-the-field performance and in-the-stands attendance.

“I certainly went into this thinking, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’,” said Crane. His baseball acumen was sharp, which helpedto build a team that finished fourth in the league and earned a post-season appearance in the first season for the Muskrats. The teams have continued to be competitive or better – the 2011 team won the Eastern Conference title and played in the team’s first championship game. Last year’s team didn’t enjoy such a long post-season run, though still finished third in the standings.

More challenging, said Crane, have been the other parts of managing a team, namely, filling the stands with fans and building relationships with local sponsors. “It’s encouraging that we’re growing. We’re getting better in terms of attendance and sponsorships,” Crane said, though he added, “We’re still not where we need to be.”

For both spectators and sponsors, there’s a core of solid support that Crane greatly appreciates. There’s not quite enough of them, yet, he said.

The 2011 season, with its extended playoff run, saw the team’s highest season total of more than 10,000 fans admitted. Attendance flagged a bit last year, though, with a total of 8,500. This year, the Muskrats organization is pursuing a goal of “13 for 13,” 13,000 fans admitted for the 2013 season.

Crane thinks the team can do it, for a few reasons.

The league added a couple of games to the regular season this year. The Muskrats and Robbie Mills Field will be hosting this year’s NECLB All-Star game, which will surely draw hundreds from around New England. Lastly, he thinks the team should be fun to watch.

Returning talent includes Conway native Nick Kevlin, a right-handed pitcher who talked his way into a try-out last year and earned a spot in the Muskrats bullpen. Now a sophomore at Fort Scott Community College in Kansas, Crane expects Kevlin to be an improved and versatile pitcher that could be used in many situations, including as a starter. Also returning are Joe Torres, a speedy outfielder from Iona College in New Rochelle, N.Y., and left-handed pitcher Nevin Wilson, a sophomore at Vanderbilt University.

Crane is also excited to bring Wilson’s battery mate at Vanderbilt, freshman Walker Buehler. With a fastball in the 90s that he throws in between changeups and breaking balls, Buehler was recently ranked the top baseball draft prospect of his class.

Crane said that Buehler was drafted out of high school, but that he declined professional offers so that he could play for Vanderbilt, a team which was recently named the number 2 seed in the NCAA baseball tournament. Some of the players from the earlier Muskrat teams have already begun professional careers, and Crane said Buehler is expected to follow them in a short amount of time. “He’s special – we’re excited about him,” said Crane, noting that the only downside is that Buehler’s Laconia see next page

Bow ends GHS girls’ season The Gilford High School girls’ tennis team played its last match of the season on Friday, losing to Bow, 8-1, in the semi-final round of the Division III tournament. The team’s overall record for the season was 12 wins, 4 losses.

Charleyne Panner, playing in the second singles spot, was the only Gilford player to earn a point for her team, beating Bow’s Nisha Naik 8-3.

Gilford had advanced to the semi-final round after

narrowly defeating Profile. Coach Hermann Defregger said, “We knew that playing Profile and Bow will be very challenging for us, but I’m very proud of our team. They gave it their best and that’s all I can ask of them each time they step on the court. Tobe in the top four again out of 18 teams in Division III is a great accomplishment for this team. I certainly will miss Cheralynn Corsack and Charleyne Panner, who have been my number one and two for all four years and have had an outstanding high school career.”

SPORTS Gilford softball defeats Belmont 3-0 to close regular season The Gilford High School softball team finished its season by winning 15 in a row and recording its eighth shutout, but it wasn’t easy, according to coach Joan Forge. “Belmont has improved tremendously since our 9-0 win over them a few weeks ago. We were making contact on offense, but Belmont made some great defensive plays today”. Belmont pitcher Megan Prescott had a no-hitter until the top of the 6th when Caitlin Houston singled. Gilford had two chances to score late in the game, but were denied by the tough Belmont defense. The first chance came in the 6th inning when Caitlin Houston led of with a single, advanced to 2nd base on a Alyssa Wilson sacrifice bunt, she got to 3rd on an error, Mollie Dignan was up to bat and laid down a bunt for a suicide squeeze play, but the Belmont defense made the play at the plate to get Houston out. Gilford had another opportunity in the 7th when Lisa Osborne led off with a single, went to 2nd on a sacrifice bunt by Abby Harris, Osborne advanced to 3rd on a Paige Laliberte hit. With Osborne on 3rd, Sarah Lachapelle hit a hard shot to Belmont’s 2nd baseman, Megan Bailey, who fired home and got Osborne out at the plate. Belmont came up in the bottom of the 7th and for the 1st time of the game threatened the Gilford defense. Cassie Contigiani

led off with a single, Mary Kate Russo laid down a bunt which was misplayed by the Gilford defense, resulting in runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

Makayla Donovan hit a short fly ball between short stop, centerfield and leftfield, but Gilford leftfielder Mikaela Mattice made a spectacular catch to save the winning run from scoring. With one out Sydney Strout struck out the next batter, then walked the next batter( only walk of the game) to load the bases, only to strikeout the next batter for the third out. After Belmont applied pressure on the Gilford defense the Gilford offense exploded for three runs on four hits and a sacrifice bunt in the top of the 8th inning. Mikalea Mattice, after making the game saving catch in the outfield, led off with a single to rightfield and advanced to 2nd on a Hannah Chase sacrifice bunt, Mollie Dignan singled to rightfield and drove in Mattice for Gilford’s first run. Sydney Strout then delivered a double deep to center field to drive in Dignan. Sydney Strout’s courtesy runner, Kristina Hayden, scored on a Lisa Osborne single to centerfield to make the score 3-0. Strout struck out 2 of the final 3 batters and Mikaela Mattice caught a fly ball to leftfield for the last out and the victory.

Sydney Strout had 14 strikeouts, gave up 4 hits and 1 walk.

The Gilford offense was led by Lisa Osborne 2/4 (1 RBI), Sydney Strout 1 double (1 RBI), singles by Mollie Dignan (1 RBI & 1 run scored), Paige Laliberte, Caitlin Houston and Miakela Mattice (1 run scored)

While Crane is excited about several of the players on his roster, he’s learned a lesson from previous years and packed his team deep with talent.

He’s been burned in the past by players that either become injured or simply don’t show up for the season; if that happens this year, there will be plenty of other players to fill that void.

The coaching staff remains a point of stability for Crane. Manager Matt Alison is in his third year in his current position and his fourth with the team.

Pitching coach Luke Demko, a Gilford native and a star pitcher for the Golden Eagles during his high school years, also returns.

Crane is continuing to struggle with finding

enough host families for all of his players. Host families, what he called a critical part of the organization, provide a player with a bedroom and access to laundry services. With less than a week before players are scheduled to arrive, he’s still six host families shy of housing his entire team. For more information on hosting a Muskrat, email Crane at noah@ laconiamuskrats.com. “Hopefully, the community will respond and answer the call.”

As with last year, all regular season games will begin at 6:30 p.m. New this year is the price structure: those 16 and older will be admitted for $5, while those 15 and younger will be admitted for free.

The first game for the Muskrats this year will be at home on June 6, when Laconia hosts the Plymouth Pilgrims at Robbie Mills Field. For a full schedule, visit laconiamuskrats.com.

Bestselling authors appear for tea & talk at Lavinia’s

CENTER HARBOR — Bayswater Book Compmay will sponsor a Tea and Talk with the Authors on Friday, June 7 at 4 p.m. at Lavinia’s Restaurant in Center Harbor.

Author Nichole Bernier will be discussing her book, “The Unfinished Life of Elizabeth D,’’ joined

by New York Times bestselling author B.A. Shapiro, discussing her newest book, “The Art Forger.”

Tickets are $25 and include the price of one book.

As a writer for the magazines Elle, Self, Health, Men’s Journal, and a contributing editor for Conde Nast Traveler for the past fourteen years, Bernier will discuss her first novel.

“The Unfinished Life of Elizabeth D.”, takes the reader on a journey of discovery as main character Kate loses her best friend, Elizabeth, and discovers

through her journals that she may not have known her at all. A mother of five children, Bernier currently resides in Boston, but enjoys spending time with family and friends in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region.

Author B.A. Shapiro’s “The Art Forger” is now an independent booksellers’ #1 pick, as well as a New York Times bestselling novel. Detailing the heist of thirteen works of art worth over $500 million stolen from a museum in Boston, “The Art Forger” tells the story of a struggling artist who finds herself in a breathless race to find the key to the mystery. Also a resident of Boston, “The Art Forger” is Shapiro’s sixth novel.

Call 253-8858 to special order copies and Bayswater will have them signed for you.

Gilmanton author Lisa Hasler will be reading from her book on Saturday at Annie’s Book Stop LACONIA — Gilmanton author Lisa Hasler will be reading from her book, Bridget: the Adventures of an English Shepherd Puppy, on Saturday, June 1, at Annie’s Book Stop in Laconia from 2-4 p.m.

The book highlights homesteading, hiking, training, skiing, backcountry and traveling stories from the first year that Bridget spends with Lisa.

The book started out as a journal exercise, designed to hone Hasler’s writing skills and prepare her for the more challenging book that Hasler is now writing about building her own house in Gilmanton.

Bridget’s breeder in Arkansas and other local friends enjoyed hearing the accounts of the pup’s

new life in New Hampshire and encouraged Hasler to pull the tales together into a book. Bridget attends contra dances and business meetings, takes an agility class, earns a therapy dog certification, swims a channel in Lake Winnipesaukee, and enjoys a wonderful road trip to the Rockies. The 260 page book includes lots of photos.

Writing and dog training are currently hobbies for Hasler, a human services professional, who hopes these pursuits will eventually evolve into part-time “retirement careers.”

Signed copies of the book are currently available for sale at Annie’s Book Stop.

IT’S NOT “JUST A CLEANING”

If you believe that your 6 month check-up at the dental office is JUST a cleaning…. have I got news for you! A dental prophylaxis (“prophy”) is performed not only to clean the teeth, but also to evaluate the oral cavity for any other problems that might be present. These visits are crucial to prevention and timely diagnosis of tooth decay, gum disease, occlusal disease, and other disorders that affect the mouth.

Some examples are cancer, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, and hormone problems. The professional dental cleaning not only includes what you can see, but also what you don’t see, which is actually the most important part from the viewpoint of good health. Bacterial plaque is present above and below the gumline (“subgingival”), with the most damaging plaque located below the gumline. Daily brushing and flossing will remove a great deal of plaque, but it is not possible to eliminate all of it. If plaque is not removed in a timely way, it hardens into calculus (tartar) which can only be removed by a dental professional. If calculus is not removed in a timely way, you may need a more expensive and intensive procedure called scaling and root planing, or (sometimes) surgical therapy because calculus provides a sanctuary for germs that eventually cause people to lose their teeth. Keep your mouth healthy with professional preventive cleanings as often as your dentist recommends (it’s different for different people) – you save time and money in the long run, and best of all, you get to keep your teeth!

Because Robertson has records of their specific hearing needs, she is able to pre-set the devices for those participants. There will be only ten devices available, so the first ten patients to reserve will get to try them out.

Robertson was recently awarded her ninth ACE Award from the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association. The Award for Continuing Education (ACE) recognizes successful completion of ambitious requirements and is only given to professionals who obtain more than 30 hours of continuing education within the profession during a limited period of time.

For more information on the latest technologies and developments in hearing related issues, or to register for the event check the web site at http://audiologyspecialists.com .

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

that it can’t continue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Time alone won’t heal all wounds. Time plus scar tissue is what heals. You have to have it in you to knit things back together -- which you do.

But not everyone does, and that’s something to be aware of today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Lying isn’t an option for you, although you may find yourself trying to get around telling a rather bothersome truth. Saying nothing may very well be the friendliest and kindest thing to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Cynicism is no fun. It may be smarter and more accurate, but who cares? It’s also lonelier. People who are overly concerned with facts and actualities are rather boring.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28). You don’t want things to come too easily, because you like who you become when you have to earn your benefits. In many ways, you’re smarter and stronger than you’ve ever been. You’ll use your powers to help loved ones. Seize a professional opportunity in August. September sends you on a journey. Libra and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 8, 47, 26 and 11.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have an excellent sense for what matters and what doesn’t, but that doesn’t always keep you in line. Sometimes you chase down lesser opportunities and time wasters because it’s just more fun that way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something very timely in your heart. Don’t wait until the right place and moment to express it. You’re in the right place, and the expression itself will create the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you do your best, you may not produce the greatest result that ever was in the history of the world, but you’ll create the best possible result for the moment, and that’s good enough.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t want to be considered special and therefore treated better than everyone else. You’d rather understand the common experience and bond with people because you really do know how they feel.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is a big difference between academic and practical skill.

You absolutely have to “do” to “know” today.

The best scenario will be for you to work alongside a friend who has experience.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are an industrious hummingbird today, buzzing from flower to flower. These blossoms open but once and then lose their petals and become vehicles of legacy. You’ll help in this process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are only in the prime of your life once, but how do you know when “once” is upon you? It’s not for you to say. Your only job is to keep striving to uphold the virtues you hold dear: patience, love, awareness, mastery, joy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You love honesty almost as much as you love privacy.

When people mind their own business, it feels like all is right with the world. Too bad people seldom mind their own business for very long.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been looking forward to this change, and now you don’t have to wait anymore. A pattern that used to repeat on a seemingly endless loop will now be so completely interrupted

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, May 28, the 148th day of 2013. There are 217 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 28, 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, made up of freed blacks, left Boston to fight for the Union in the Civil War. On this date: In 1533, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, declared the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn valid.

In 1892, the Sierra Club was organized in San Francisco.

In 1912, the Senate Commerce Committee issued its report on the Titanic disaster that cited a “state of absolute unpreparedness,” improperly tested safety equipment and an “indifference to danger” as some of the causes of an “unnecessary tragedy.”

In 1929, the first all-color talking picture, “On with the Show,” opened in New York.

In 1934, the Dionne quintuplets — Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne — were born to Elzire Dionne at the family farm in Ontario, Canada.

In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt pushed a button in Washington signaling that vehicular traffic could begin crossing the justopened Golden Gate Bridge in California. Neville Chamberlain became prime minister of Britain.

In 1940, during World War II, the Belgian army surrendered to invading German forces.

In 1959, the U.S. Army launched Able, a rhesus monkey, and Baker, a squirrel monkey, aboard a Jupiter missile for a suborbital flight which both primates survived.

In 1961, Amnesty International had its beginnings with the publication of an article in the British newspaper The Observer, “The Forgotten Prisoners.”

In 1977, 165 people were killed when fire raced through the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Ky. In 1987, to the embarrassment of Soviet officials, Mathias Rust (mah-TEE’-uhs rust), a young West German pilot, landed a private plane in Moscow’s Red Square without authorization. (Rust was freed by the Soviets the following year.)

In 1998, comic actor Phil Hartman of “Saturday Night Live” and “NewsRadio” fame was shot to death at his home in Encino, Calif., by his wife, Brynn, who then killed herself.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush signed a 10-year, $350 billion package of tax cuts, saying they already were “adding fuel to an economic recovery.” Amnesty International released a report saying the U.S.-led war on terror had made the world a more dangerous and repressive place, a finding dismissed by Washington as “without merit.”

Five years ago: The White House reacted angrily to a highly critical memoir by President George W. Bush’s former press secretary, Scott McClellan, who wrote that Bush had relied on an aggressive “political propaganda campaign” instead of the truth to sell the Iraq war.

One year ago: President Barack Obama paid tribute on Memorial Day to the men and women who died defending America, pointing to Vietnam veterans as an under-appreciated and sometimes maligned group of war heroes.

International Film Series features ‘Broken Wings’ LACONIA — The Laconia Human Relations Committee in cooperation with the Laconia Public Library presents the film ‘Broken Wings’, Monday, June 3 at 6:45 p.m. as part of the International Film Series at the library.

This family story is set in Haifa, Israel. Tragedy strikes, with each dealing with their pain and depression in their own way. Pressure on Dafna, a single parent, to support four children financially and emotionally while dealing with her own grief knows no cultural differences.

Dafna takes to bed for three months and when she finally returns to her job at the maternity hospital, she has little time for her children. Eldest son, Yair drops out of school and adopts a fatalist atti-

tude, shutting out his siblings and girlfriend. His twin sister Maya, a talented musician, is forced to act as a family caregiver at the expense of her musical opportunities. Bullied at school, younger son Ido responds by obsessively filming himself with a video camera and attempting dangerous feats. The baby sister, Bar, is woefully neglected. Each preoccupied with their own misery, the family is barely a family anymore.

Previous films shown as a part of this series are now displayed on a separate shelf at the Laconia Library as a part of its DVD collection.

The Laconia International Film Series is open free to everyone. This is an R rated movie. Informal discussion follows the film. Light snacks are provided.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My bullheaded 50-year-old daughter has taken gossip from 32 years ago to make my life a living hell.

I have four grown children. My older daughter called everyone she could think of and told them I molested my son when he was 5. My daughter never checked to see whether it was true. I have never been arrested for this or had charges filed against me. She further told all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that they should never stop at my home.

I am 74 years old, have trouble breathing and have cancer that is currently in remission. I want to see my family before it’s too late. My daughter called my sister-in-law and told her she will not go to my funeral when I die. I have been denied visits and phone calls from family members for three years. I desperately need my family to visit. -- Sad and Lonely Dear Sad: You say charges were never filed, nor were you arrested, but you haven’t said that you are innocent of the accusation. If the gossip is true, we completely understand why your daughter would want everyone to stay away. If it is not true, you need to make it clear to the rest of the family that your daughter is spreading lies. Please ask whether she would be willing to go with you for counseling to clear this up and to see whether there is any possibility of reconciling before it is too late.

Dear Annie: I’m one of two daughters. Both of us have two sons. Long story short, one of my sister’s sons has borrowed thousands of dollars from Grandma, received a nice car and has never paid any money back. The other three boys have never borrowed a penny.

I am the executor of Grandma’s estate and have power of attorney. When something happens to Grandma, I’m in charge.

She’s not going to have a million dollars, but when her estate is eventually divided, I believe it would be perfectly fair to exclude the one grandson. What do you think? -- Trouble in

Hubbard Dear Hubbard: It may be “fair,” but it could estrange you from your sister, not to mention your nephews. What does Grandma think? If she is of sound mind and wants all of her grandsons to receive equal shares, you have an obligation to follow her wishes. You could discuss with her the option of deducting the money her grandson has already borrowed from whatever is left of his share. You also could give the grandson an object of sentimental value in lieu of money, so he doesn’t believe his grandmother forgot about him. Whatever the final decision, please discuss it with your sister as a gesture of good faith and ask her opinion. She may or may not agree with your assessment, but at least she won’t be shocked and angry when the time comes.

Dear Annie: I have a couple of thoughts for “Want My Solitude Back,” who assumes these drop-in neighbors and relatives are simply intrusive. But they may believe you want company now and then. Most people do. I, too, enjoy solitude, but most of us want it balanced with caring relationships.

Recently, my uncle was found dead in his home. The coroner said he’d been dead at least 10 days. My uncle may have lain on the floor suffering because no one visited him. He had pushed everyone away.

If “Want My Solitude Back” truly wants to be alone, he can move to a sparsely inhabited rural area far from anyone who may intrude. Or he could stay where he is and stew and complain -- that should get rid of any friends he might have.

-- Likes People Much of the Time Dear Likes: There is a rather thick line between having no one ever visit and having uninvited guests drop by constantly, especially around mealtime. People need to be respectful of one another.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please e-mail your questions to: anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
