The third annual Bow Wow Fest was held on Saturday and drew more than 100 dogs of all shapes and sizes and well more than 100 people. The event, supported by Melcher & Prescott, raised funds for both the further construction of the recreational trail as well as a critical surgery for the new Gilford police dog. Organizer Claire Hebert said $1,500 was raised for the operation, which was collected from event registration fees, private donations and the sale of special treats created by My Coffee House. Above, talent and costume contest judges Kyle, Gretchen and Patrick Gandini evaluate the skills of dogs as they pass. Gretchen Gandini is the executive director of the WOW Trail organization.

Unlikely NY scribe handwrites Good Book
PHILMONT, N.Y. (AP) — In the beginning, Phillip Patterson decided to write out every word in the Bible. On empty pages, he wrote of Adam, an ark, locusts, loaves, fishes and the resurrection in his neat, looping cursive. Four years of work begat more than 2,400 pages and left a multitude of pens in its wake. Now, as he copies the last words of the last book, Patterson sees all that he has created. And it is good. “I hadn’t counted on the fact that it would end up being beautiful,” Patterson said. “Or that it would be so exhilarating. And so long.” Patterson, 63, might seem like an unlikely scribe for the King James version of the Bible. Tall and bald with a hearty laugh, the retired interior designer is neither monkish nor zealous. He goes to church but has never been particularly religious. Health issues — including AIDS and anemia — have sent him to the hospital and slowed the work. He relies on two canes and see SCRIBE page 8

‘I’m free now’ : Missing for a decade, women found alive CLEVELAND (AP) — Three women who went missing separately about a decade ago, when they were in their teens or early 20s, were found alive Monday in a residential area just south of downtown, and a man was arrested. One of the women told a 911 dispatcher the person who had taken her was gone, and she pleaded for police officers to come and get her, saying, “I’m free now.” Cheering crowds gathered Monday night on the street near the home where police said Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight were found earlier in the day. Police didn’t immediately provide any details of how the women were found but said they appeared to be in good health and had been taken to a hospital to be
reunited with relatives and for evaluation. On a recorded 911 call Monday, Berry said she had been taken by someone and pleaded for police officers to arrive at the home on Cleveland’s west side before he returned. “I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years,” she told the dispatcher. “And I’m here. I’m free now.” Berry disappeared at age 16 on April 21, 2003, when she called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from her job at a Burger King. DeJesus went missing at age 14 on her way home from school about a year later. They were found just a few miles from where they had gone missing. Police said Knight was 20 when she went missing around 2000. Police said a 52-year-old man was
arrested. There was no immediate word on charges. Loved ones said they hadn’t given up hope of seeing the women again. Among them was Kayla Rogers, a childhood friend of DeJesus. “I’ve been praying, never forgot about her, ever,” Rogers told The Plain Dealer newspaper. “This is amazing. This is a celebration. I’m so happy. I just want to see her walk out of those doors so I can hug her.” Berry’s cousin Tasheena Mitchell told the newspaper she couldn’t wait to have Berry in her arms. “I’m going to hold her, and I’m going to squeeze her and I probably won’t let her go,” she said. Berry’s mother, Louwana Miller, who see FOUND page 7

But Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan said despite the request, he doesn’t think Russia will take Tsarnaev’s body and he is working on other see BURY page 11

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels shot down a military helicopter in the country’s east, killing eight government troops on board as President Bashar Assad’s troops battled opposition forces inside a sprawling military air base in the north for the second straight day, activists said Monday. The downing of the helicopter was a welcome victory for rebels fighting to oust Assad as the two sides remain locked in stalemate in the more than 2-year-old conflict. In Geneva, a U.N. commission
probing alleged war crimes and other abuses in Syria on Monday distanced itself from claims by one of its members that Syrian rebels have used the nerve agent sarin, but not the regime. The panel said it has no conclusive evidence about the alleged use of sarin as chemical weapons. In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said it’s highly likely that the Assad regime and not the Syrian opposition was behind any chemical weapons use in Syria. see SYRIA page 15

Former NH diocese official under investigation CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The leader of one of the nation’s top clergy treatment centers resigned Monday over allegations involving an inappropriate adult relationship and misuse of church funds in New Hampshire, where he previously served in numerous leadership positions with the Diocese of Manchester. Msgr. Edward Arsenault held several senior positions in New Hampshire from 1999 to 2009 before becoming president and CEO of Saint Luke Institute in Maryland in October 2009. In New Hampshire, Arsenault had been former Bishop John McCormack’s top lieutenant, handling the clergy sexual abuse crisis and being responsible for the church’s new child protection policies. The Diocese said Monday that it received allegations earlier this year regarding a potentially inappropriate relationship involving Arsenault. During its investigation, the diocese found evidence of improper financial transactions, and reported the matter to the attorney general’s office. In a statement, Bishop Peter Libasci said the diocese will cooperate fully with the investigation.
“I am committed to reviewing our internal diocesan operations to ensure that any issues are identified and corrected, as necessary,” he said. “We will do this in the light of day.” Arsenault could not immediately be reached for comment Monday. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said investigators from her office met with both diocesan officials and representatives from Catholic Medical Center two weeks ago, and based on information they provided, decided to launch an investigation. The hospital sought an investigation because Arsenault did consulting work for the hospital in 2009 and 2010. The investigation does not involve Saint Luke Institute, a prominent education and counseling center based in Silver Spring, Md., with sites in other parts of the U.S. and in Britain. The center treats priests with a range of mental illnesses and has played a key role in addressing the problem of sexually abusive clergy. “This is very difficult news, and we are keeping this situation in prayer,” said interim CEO Sheila Harron.
SALEM, N.H. (AP) — A casino owner hoping to open New Hampshire’s first video slots operation is upping the ante on his bet in hopes of a winning hand with reluctant House members. Bill Wortman, a principal in Las Vegas-based Millennium Gaming, is holding a Town Hall meeting at Rockingham Park race track Wednesday night to explain the changes to residents who already have voted to support
a casino. The Senate passed a bill to authorize one casino with up to 5,000 video slots and 150 table games, but the House has never supported casinos. Wortman told the Eagle Tribune of Lawrence, Mass., (http://bit.ly/18HUYto ) the new plan includes a hotel with a spa and entertainment venue with seating for up to 1,500. The changes bump the cost from $450 million to about $600 million.

NH Senate revenue chairman cautiously optimistic CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The chairman of New Hampshire’s Senate tax-writing committee said Monday he is cautiously optimistic the economy is on a gradual upswing but not at a pace allowing the state to spend at pre-recession rates. Ways and Means Chairman Bob Odell, a Lempster Republican, estimates growth for each of the next two fiscal years will be 2 percent. But he doesn’t buy the estimates from hospital taxes that Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan and the House used to build their budgets. Odell said they are millions of dol-

lars too high, which could create a problem for the Senate in writing its budget. The current budget, written by Republicans, cut state hospital aid for all but a handful of critical access hospitals. Hassan’s proposal would restore about half of the $200 million cut in the last two years — but only if the hospital tax revenues come in much higher than Odell believes are realistic. If the estimate is too high, Senate budget writers will be faced with either not giving the hospitals see BUDGET page 26

Annuities— New and Improved!
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, May 7, 2013— Page 3
One of the very first things we learned in our Marketing courses at the University of New Hampshire a long time ago; (but still even more true today) is that if a product could not say New and Improved!, then it better say 20% OFF! That’s the way it is with everything including Financial Products. We recently helped a friend, who wanted more security for her retirement funds; place some of those funds in a new type of annuity that could offer market related returns with her principal protected and guaranteed! She told her brother about this decision and the sparks really flew. He warned her about big fees and expenses and even possibly even losing her money. That was true of the old, unimproved annuities but not true of the new and improved Fixed Indexed Annuities of today! These products have evolved over the years with the elimination of many of the weaknesses of the past. At DAK Financial we also limit our product offerings to the Fixed Indexed Annuities rather than the Variable Annuities where you must assume market risk. The “Safe Money Team” at DAK uses Life and Annuity products from top quality insurance companies with principal protection. The funds are not in the market and therefore not at market risk. Your funds will be in high quality “grade A bonds”, with insurance company reserves to secure your deposits. The Fixed Indexed Annuities offer protection for the money that you just can’t afford to lose. These annuities can also offer the potential to earn tax deferred growth, which is much better than the boring returns of other safe alternatives. In addition to upside participation in indexes that you select each year, your gains are locked in so that if there is ever a negative year, you will maintain your principal and previously earned annual gains. If you are IN THE MARKET with other products you would have to wait for the MARKET TO RECOVER for previous levels to begin to make money again. If you own a Fixed Indexed Annuity with annual reset, you can even make money when the index has dropped because you earn again when the index rises even if it has not reached its earlier high point! One recent improvement that we really love is a non-correlated indexing method where there is little or no relationship of index values to one another, like stocks where the indexes operate independently of each other. This method allows for more diversification and less volatility, with your principal always protected. Best of all, this index is not capped so the potential index returns are much higher! Other noteworthy improvements in recent years are liquidity and lifetime income options. In many cases you can now withdraw 10% each year from the annuity before the term has ended even if it is not an immediate annuity. You can even structure the annuity with a lifetime income that you can never outlive. New and Improved will forever happen.

A $250M can of whitewash Big doings in Big D — the George W. Bush Presidential Library is open for business! What a piece of work it is: a $250 million, 226,000-square-foot edifice on 23 acres in Dallas. His brick-and-limestone structure is certainly imposing, but once inside, you quickly see that it’s a $250 million can of whitewash. Of course, all ex-presidents want libraries that show their good side, and Bush himself was organizerin-chief of this temple to ... well, to himself. What’s most striking is not what’s in it, but what’s not. For example, where’s that “Mission Accomplished” banner that he used as a political prop in May 2003, when he strutted out so fatuously on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln wearing a flight suit to pretend like he had won the Iraq war? And how about a video loop of him finally showing up in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, cluelessly praising his infamously incompetent emergency management honcho with the now notorious shout-out: “Heck of a job, Brownie.” Also, while there are 35 featured videos, a replica of W’s oval office, narrated presentations by top Bush officials and even statues of the family dogs — where’s Cheney? Shouldn’t there be an animated exhibit of the perpetually snarling veep in his dark chamber, scheming to shred our Constitution and set up an imperial presidency (or, more accurately, an imperial vice presidency)? Another essential element of George’s tenure that goes unportrayed could be called “The Dead Garden of Compassionate Conservatism.” It could feature such mementos as him cutting health care funding for veterans, closing of the college gates for 1.5 million low-income students and turning a blind eye as 8 million more Americans tumbled down the economic ladder into poverty on his watch. Then there’s a shady exhibit that deserves more exposure. It’s the list of $160 million-plus donors to the center, with each name chiseled into bricks that form what should be called “The Brick Wall of Special Interest Government.” Among those chiseled-in are AT&T, casino baron Sheldon Adelson, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News empire, several billionaire funders of right-wing politics, the founder of GoDaddy.com, and even the royal rulers of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
The 160 names are by no means all of the corporate and fat cat donors — many more gave, but shyly requested that their involvement be kept from the public. Present law allows such unlimited, secret donations, even while a president is in office, still wielding the power to do favors for donors. Bill Clinton used this undercover loophole, and George W. happily chose the same dark path. On May 1, the doors to Bush’s Pharaonic “Presidential Center” opened to the public, allowing us commoners to dig deep into the shallowness of his achievements. The enormous building itself sets the tone: sharp edges, high brick walls and the welcoming feel of a fortress. Yet the ex-prez insists that it’s a place for public contemplation of his legacy, “a place to lay out facts,” he says. How ironic is that? After all, the Bush-Cheney regime was infamous for its disregard of facts, as well as its hiding, twisting and manufacturing of facts to fool people. From going to war over Iraq’s nonexistent weapons of mass destruction to its plan to gut and privatize Social Security — facts were whatever Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rove and Condi imperiously declared them to be. More ironic is the centerpiece of the library’s attempt to whitewash George’s eight awful years: an interactive exhibit called “Decision Points Theater.” And theater it is, portraying George heroically as “The Decider.” Visitors to this rigged exhibit can use touch screens to see Bush in virtual action, pondering as he receives contradictory advice on whether to save the poor people of New Orleans, bail out Wall Street bankers, rush into Iraq, etc. The whole show is meant to make you feel sympathy for him, then you’re asked to “vote” on whether he did the right thing. Again, irony: We the People got no vote on these issues back when it would’ve mattered. There are many, many Bush quotes in this pantheon, but the one that best characterizes him and should be engraved above the entrance to his sparkling new center is this, from August 2002: “I’m the commander. See, I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”
LETTERS Electorate rarely speaks as clearly as it did on background checks To the editor, An open letter to Senator Ayotte: In view of your recent vote regarding background checks for some persons seeking to purchase firearms, I am moved to seek your views on this important question: what is your understanding of the proper role of an elected official in a representative democracy? Our Constitution provides the people with a voice and allows no sovereign agent to dictate to us his or her personal views. I realize that sometimes this can place a burden on our representative to act against her party’s or her own preferences, but that comes with the office. The electorate often does not come to a well-defined view on many issues. But sometimes, they do. Sometimes, they speak with a substantial majority that transcends party, region and
demographics. It is at such times that I see three options for our elected representative: 1. vote the will of the majority regardless of personal preference; 2. persuade the electorate that your opposing viewpoint is correct, or 3. resign. Perhaps you have another view of your role as a senator representing the people of New Hampshire. If that is so, please take the time to respond so that I can understand the rationale behind your recent vote. Regardless of one’s view on the issues of background checks, it seems to me that all New Hampshire voters have an interest in knowing that their elected officials hear them when they speak in substantial majority. To accept otherwise opens the door to dictatorial governance. Louis R. Lieto Groton
Where is the conservative perspective in MSNBC’s reporting? To the editor, I would like to respond to L. J. Siden’s remarks on Thurs. May 2 in this wonderful free newspaper — the statement made that MSNBC and Fox News are not fair and balanced. Comparing the two in the same light as unfair is ridiculous. First off: Fox’s ratings have jumped 30 percent and is in lead of all other news broadcasting’s. ChaCha on 24/7! Politico reports “Of the 1,180 people surveyed, 36.1 percent chose Fox News as the “best” network, compared with 27.8 percent choosing CNN and 16.6 percent picking MSNBC. To continue my defense of Fox News, please note that Fox has liberal voices speaking the liberal point of view. They are Bob Beckel, Juan Williams. Alan Coombs, Susan Estrich and others. They are not once in awhile voices or guests for the liberal point of view, they are part of the Fox News team. I ask you, who are the conservative voices on MSNBC refuting the insane ranting of “thrill up my leg” Chris Matthews? I ask you why have MNSBC not covered Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s Abortion clinic trial and the atrocities performed by him and others hired by him on unborn and mind you those
news forum that followed his trial, and reported and following up on it is FOX NEWS. Where has MSNBC, et al, followed the Benghazi, Libya atrocity and reported on the inconsistencies of testimony as to what really happened there. President Nixon was impeached for the cover up of Watergate and I remember one Chuck Colson who was jailed because of his cover up. There is obviously now a cover up of the Benghazi massacre. The difference between Nixon’s cover up and our present government’s cover up: there were NO deaths in Watergate. In Benghazi, we need to have justice for the four Americans who were killed, one of whom was Christopher Stevens our ambassador, who was tortured and finally murdered. As I see it Fox News is the only news medium reporting and following up on it. Only two senators, Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham are fighting for the truth and justice in the Senate for those murdered at Benghazi on September 11, 2012. We all know that MSNBC drinks the Obama Kool Aid and they are his propagandists. Obama wants us to believe, (and therefore MSNBC, CNN, etc) that the terrorists are not a threat
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, May 7, 2013 — Page 5
LETTERS Unlike Obama’s, Ayotte’s plan would have made a difference To the editor, So now after months of full throated debates and super heated rhetoric, our politicians are pontificating about the necessity of keeping our 2nd Amendment intact. Democrats, liberals and other assorted progressives claim such talk is tantamount to conspiracy, “black helicopters” nonsense. Which is rather humorous when you think about it since they have been so busy micromanaging every aspect of the lives of citizens while putting the brakes on their freedoms and independence. You know, not so unlike “helicopter parents”. Getting back to that “black helicopter” distraction tactic by the progressive Democrats, let’s just see how crazy, off the wall, it really is. Senator Diane Feinstein is on record as having said that if she had the votes, she would confiscate the guns right now. John Lott, an academician who was on the University of Chicago faculty with Barack Obama, offers the following insight about our president: While he was on the law faculty, he apparently expressed his opinion that he did not believe anyone has the right to own a gun. You don’t suppose there are any other Democrats who privately express similar sentiments do you? It is pretty clear to many, including Ted Cruz, that this “gun control bill” was about assaulting the 2nd Amendment and had nothing to do with protecting our youth, and that is why it was defeated. President Obama
pretends to be honoring the grieving of parents while selling their tears for political power and that is truly unconscionable. Senator Ted Cruz reminds us about that which is often left unsaid about universal background checks. He reports the Department of Justice’s take on this issue: “the only way you can have universal background checks work is to have a national, federal gun registry list of every firearm owned by every law abiding citizen”. Ted assures us that this is clearly inconsistent with the 2nd Amendment. More ominously, he reminds us that historically this move has led to taxation, regulation and finally confiscation. We do need to revamp our mental health system which has been a critical component in these mass killings. However, a national registry where a bureaucrat could decide you can’t have a gun because you once took a medication for anxiety or depression or were given a diagnosis of adjustment disorder so your insurance would pay for you to see a therapist, would be right up the alley of our “nanny statists” and their dream goal of firearm confiscation. Here’s a succinct query from Thomas Sowell directed at the anti-gun crowd: “since there is no compelling evidence that tighter gun control laws actually reduce crime rates, why are we being stampeded toward such laws after every shooting that gets media atten-
SB-2 is nearly five times more democratic than Town Meeting To the editor, SB-2 would be unnecessary in Sanbornton if the 570 residents who voted in the general election had bothered to attend the 2012 Town Meeting. Sadly only 149 residents attended Town Meeting which is the reason SB-2 is on the Sanbornton ballot again this year. For those who say “to eliminate Town Meeting is to eliminate the last bastion of direct democracy in the U.S”, I respond that if SB-2 allows nearly five times the number of residents to vote on the town budget, questions, and warrants etc. in the privacy of the voting booth then S-B2
is nearly five times more democratic than Town Meeting. For those who say “if people are really interested in The Town they would attend Town Meeting”, my response is that this attitude denies the vote to those who work in the evenings, can’t find or afford a baby sitter, are not comfortable driving at night, can’t physically sit through a 3-5 hour meeting, aren’t comfortable speaking up in public, or are away in the military. Today Town Meeting is not the bastion of democracy it once was, rather is the rule of the many by the few. Roger Grey Sanbornton
from preceding page to America anymore; that they are on the decline. Well the Boston bombing is a red flag telling us they are NOT on the decline they are very much active and they want to kill us. An example of President Obama’s downplaying of terrorist also is in the killing of our Marines at the Marine base in N.C. Obama declared it a “work place violence”. It is not so when the perpetrator cries out before he does his dastardly deed on our armed forces “Allah Akbar”. Terrorism is alive and in full force against us. It angers me very much that in our culture today it’s okay to use the words “Allah Akbar” and to read and respect the Koran and study the Muslim faith in our schools, but we
are NOT allowed to mention Jesus Christ in our schools. Christians are not even allowed to express their faith in Jesus Christ in our schools. Watch out America, when we diminish and disrespect the Christian faith and we can’t say God or Jesus Christ, or even Merry Christmas in America anymore, we are in trouble. God is aware and very patient. He will not hold his anger for long. God have mercy on America. Bring back your protection for America. America, you want terrorism to stop? It is imperative we come back to God, the God of the Christian faith of America’s founding Fathers and the God of the Bible and God’s Holy son Jesus Christ. Florence Shealy Laconia

tion?” Thomas goes on to assert that “gun control has become one of those fact free crusades, based on assumptions, emotion and rhetoric”. This brings me to the elephant gun in the progressive room, where one might think the Democrats would rather play Donkey Kong while smoking a bong than bring to light that which they would prefer remain unspoken for all eternity. The CATO Institute estimates up to a hundred thousand defensive uses of guns per year. Untold lives are saved every year by trained, legal gun owners. The Democrats and their water-toting media mules only let you know about the small minority of cases where the defensive action failed. Also left unspoken is the numerous lives saved just because the criminal element left citizens alone cuz they knew they were packing heat. President Obama had a real chance to make a difference in the lives of children after the sickening Sandy Hook murders. Instead, he chose to add to our gastrointestinal distress by using the deep, emotional turmoil of the grieving parents to attack the GOP and the NRA as he put forth a gun bill that would, more than likely, do absolutely nothing to prevent another massacre of school children. A bill that was almost 800 pages in length, the details of which he kept us all in the dark about, illuminating only his shameful, political posturing. Kelly Ayotte has presented a plan that actually could make a difference
in potentially saving the lives of children and getting criminals off of our streets. The “Protecting Communities and Preserving the 2nd Amendment Act”, that she has sponsored along with Ted Cruz and Charles Grassley, would actually help law enforcement officers perform proper background checks, allow for harsher penalties for illegal gun activity, while increasing prosecution of gun crimes, and thereby offering a greater degree of security and safety in our schools. It is painfully clear to me that our dear leader is not really concerned about curbing human caused violence, but rather exacting political revenge by coercing grieving parents into believing they can make a difference by hitching their pain to his pandering train of power politics. Yet, Kelly gets a “shame on you” from the likes of Bernadette Loesch, Lynn Rudmin Chong, James Veverka and the gang at Moveon.org, while our “Performer-in-Chief” gets yet another pass, even after his adolescent tantrum on national TV when he didn’t get his way. Your actions in this matter have been sad, shameful and potentially deadly, Mr. President. Congratulations to Kelly Ayotte for taking positive action by offering real solutions in a transparent fashion and showing an ability to put the health of our schools and communities ahead of politics Now that’s some real community organizing.

LACONIA — Speed and/or alcohol may have contributed to Sunday’s single-car accident that sent two people to the hospital with what authorities described as serious injuries, police said yesterday. According to Capt. Matt Canfield, Amy Thomas, 30, of 14 Reservoir Road in Meredith was driving south toward Laconia near Pickerel Pond Road Sunday afternoon when she lost control of the four-door 2008 Honda Civic. Police said she crossed the doubleyellow lines and the car crashed into a ditch in front of a house at 2889 Parade Road. She and her passenger, Peter Rudis
Jr., 31, also of 14 Reservoir Road were both trapped in the car. Fire Chief Ken Erickson said firefighters had to use a hydraulic extrication tools to remove Rudis from the wreck. Canfield said Thomas and Rudis were flown by DHART air ambulance to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. He said Thomas had jaw and facial injuries and Rudis suffered spinal cord injuries. Police are asking anyone who may have information about the crash to call the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717. — Gail Ober
Woman robbed of backpack while walking on Union Ave on Sat. night LACONIA – Police continue to investigate the robbery of a local woman who told police she had her backpack taken from her by an unknown man just after midnight Saturday. She told police she was in the area of 145 Union Ave. when the incident occurred. She was unharmed and said the man fled on foot. Capt. Matt Canfield said a differ-
ent man witnessed the robbery and was detained by police on outstanding bench warrants unrelated to the backpack robbery. “He is not a suspect,” said Canfield, asking any one with any information to call Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717. — Gail Ober
Three juveniles charged with spraypainting equipment in Belmont Village BELMONT — Police have charged three juveniles males with one count each of vandalism for spraypainting on equipment owned by construction companies working in Belmont Village. He said the vandalism was reported on April 26 and likely occurred the night before. Lt. Rich Mann said a large and a small paving roller, a skid steer, and a storage trailer were “tagged.” He said the damage was estimated to be about $600 and did not interfere with the
village reconstruction project. Mann said former School Resource Officer Richy Bryant made a quick followup and learned who the boys were. Mann said the three were referred to a juvenile justice program. He said there have been some instances where parents have been held financially responsible for the damage caused by their minor children, but only a judge can make that decision. — Gail Ober
Belmont selectmen discuss Town Clerks hours & police restructuring BELMONT — Selectmen engaged in a lively discussion last night about whether to allow the offices of the Town Clerk to close early on Fridays in order to remain open later on Thursdays for the summer. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said discussions about the hours of the Town Clerk Tax-Collectors Office are nothing new and she said the issue of having the office open when there is no one else in the building has always prevented the town from adding one day with evening hours to their schedule. She also said that closing early on Friday could create problems for the other employees in town hall who are there but cannot assist someone who needs assistance at the Town Clerk’s Office. When Selectmen Chairman Ron Cormier said he thought the reason the Town Clerk Tax Collector wanted to do this was to get a half day off on Friday, Selectman Jon Pike said that wasn’t the case. “No matter what we do, somebody will be upset,” Pike said who said he likes the idea of extended hours one night a week. He suggested a trial run for the summer time but Cormier and Selectman Ruth Mooney balked. Mooney said she tried to close her private business office on Fridays and it didn’t work. “The Town Clerk has to be available to people,” she said. “If you’re going to run a successful business, you have to be there on Friday.” Cormier said he likes the idea of having the office open one evening a week so the people who work 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. — like he does — do not have to take time off from work to get a car registered. Cormier said that the Town ClerkTax Collector’s office needs to have “enough staff keep (the office) open on Friday. But I want to see one night.” Beaudin said she would bring the idea to the Town Clerk. In other action, Selectmen gave tacit approval to Police Chief Mark Lewandoski to create two sergeant’s positions and one corporal position. He said the change would enable him to have a supervisor on shift all of the time and to have a sergeant review all the paperwork that gets submitted. “Having one sergeant responsible for reports isn’t working,” he said, noting that a sergeant must review all paperwork and that the department is falling behind. Lewandoski also said the corporal would be similar to a sergeant in training. He said the corporal has very little authority but can act as a shift commander, something he says helps morale because his officers have someone to turn to for supervision. “A new broom sweeps clean,” said Pike who said he likes the changes he’s seen recently within the department and wants Lewandoski to run his department as he sees fit. Cormier said he worried the department was becoming too top-heavy. But all three selectmen agreed that the chief should administer the department. Beaudin said the move would remove one position from the union and would cost the town about $3,000 annually in additional salary. She said she would bring a formal motion to the board for action at the next meeting on May 20.
FOUND from page 2 had been hospitalized for months with pancreatitis and other ailments, died in March 2006. She had spent the previous three years looking for her daughter, whose disappearance took a toll as her health steadily deteriorated, family and friends said. Mayor Frank Jackson expressed gratitude that the three women were found alive. “We have many unanswered questions regarding this case, and the investigation will be ongoing,” he said in a statement. At Metro Health Medical Center, Dr. Gerald Maloney declined to go into details about the women’s conditions. “We’re assessing their needs, and the appropriate specialists are evaluating them as well,” he said at a news conference, which concluded with a round of applause from a large gathering of area residents. In January, a prison inmate was sentenced to 4 1/2 years after admitting he provided a false burial tip in the disappearance of Berry, who had last been seen the day before her 17th birthday. A judge in Cleveland sentenced Robert Wolford on his guilty plea to obstruction of justice, making a false report and making a false alarm. Last summer, Wolford tipped authorities to look for Berry’s remains in a Cleveland lot. He was taken to the loca-
tion, which was dug up with backhoes. Two men arrested for questioning in the disappearance of DeJesus in 2004 were released from the city jail in 2006 after officers did not find her body during a search of the men’s house. One of the men was transferred to the Cuyahoga County Jail on unrelated charges, while the other was allowed to go free, police said. In September 2006, police acting on a tip tore up the concrete floor of the garage and used a cadaver dog to search unsuccessfully for DeJesus’ body. Investigators confiscated 19 pieces of evidence during their search but declined to comment on the significance of the items then. No Amber Alert was issued the day DeJesus failed to return home from school in April 2004 because no one witnessed her abduction. The lack of an Amber Alert angered her father, Felix DeJesus, who said in 2006 he believed the public will listen even if the alerts become routine. “The Amber Alert should work for any missing child,” Felix DeJesus said then. “It doesn’t have to be an abduction. Whether it’s an abduction or a runaway, a child needs to be found. We need to change this law.” Cleveland police said then that the alerts must be reserved for cases in which danger is imminent and the public can be of help in locating the suspect and child.

Traffic stop leads to drug charges in Gilford GILFORD — Three people were arrested over Sunday night and charged with a variety of drug and alcohol related crimes. Police said a patrol officer saw a pickup being driven by Gregory S. McGuinness, 31, of 70 Rolling Rock Lane in Laconia weaving on Lakeshore Road at 10:14 p.m. McGuinness was stopped near TD Bank where he was charged with one count each of driving after suspension and driving while intoxicated. After McGuinness was taken into custody, police went to take both Cheryl Noyes, 34 of Concord and Jeremy Berwick, 32, of 62 Perkins Road into protective custody for intoxication. While searching Noyes’ purse, police said they found some marijuana. Police also found marijuana in the pockets of Berwick’s cargo shorts.
During an inventory search police found a glass pipe with marijuana and the remainder of a marijuana cigarette. They also found $6,000 in cash. Police stopped searching and impounded the truck, towing it to the Gilford Police Station where Berwick, who owns the truck, gave them permission to search it further. Police subsequently found a pouch containing an undisclosed amount of marijuana and some clear plastic bags. Berwick is charged with one count of possession of marijuana and Noyes is charged with one count of possession of marijuana and one count of resisting arrest. All three were released on personal recognizance bail. — Gail Ober
SCRIBE from page 2 will lean on walls and furniture to get around his apartment near the Massachusetts border. But he has always been curious. One day in 2007, his longtime partner, Mohammad, mentioned that Islam has a tradition of writing out the Quran. Patterson, who refers to his partner by only one name to protect his privacy, replied that the Bible was too long. Mohammad said, well, then, Patterson should do it. “The next day I started researching pens and pencils and paper and never looked back,” he said. Patterson began copying the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch, in 2007. Work on this “prototype” allowed him to figure out technique, layout and technical details like the type of paper (19-by-13-inch watercolor) and writing instruments (felt-tip pens). He tackled the complete King James Bible in 2009. Patterson works at a wooden desk by his bed, near neatly shelved pages of his completed volumes. Fingers on his left hand track the words on a small hardcover Bible while he methodically writes with his right hand. Patterson pencils in ruled lines on the sheets to guide his writing and erases them when he is done, leaving black ink on creamy white pages.
The Bible’s exact word count depends on who is doing the tallying, but multiple sources put the King James version at around 788,000 words or more. Patterson used to work up to 14 hours a day on the project, though he averages around six to eight hours a day now that his stamina has ebbed. He usually works until he can’t stay awake. “I go to bed and close my eyes and feel so incredibly serene,” he said. There has been darkness and light along the way. He especially enjoyed the Book of Ruth, which he interprets as people acting loyally and doing the right thing. But he disliked the plagues, killings and other violence scattered throughout the Bible. Although he respects Jesus for promoting peace and love, he finds the character portrayed in the Gospels too glib and condescending to his disciples. More importantly, the countless hours of transcription has led him to conclude that the Bible is more sublime than just a bunch of stories from thousands of years ago. “The begetting and the begatting and all of that, that’s really incidental,” he said. “These people are trying to understand where they fit into this world.”
SUSPICIOUS from page one between the curve at Christmas Island Resort to the traffic circle in Meredith. “Fires don’t start in the middle of the woods accidentally,” Erickson said yesterday morning. “There was nothing to start those fires.” All totaled, he said 47 firefighters from communities as far away as Wolfeboro and Moultonborough were in Laconia to either fight the stubborn Saturday afternoon fire or provide station coverage for the city. He said Wolfeboro firefighters covered the Weirs Station and responded to three incidents in the city. Erickson said Wolfeboro covering in the city is “a first” since he has been chief.
Erickson said the 10-acre blaze behind the Paugus Bay Racquet Club was even more difficult to extinguish because of the steep and rocky terrain. He said the forestry vehicles only got firefighters about 200 yards into the woods and, with the exception of the new Polaris the department just purchased, all other access had to be by foot. “We dragged 2,500 feet of hose into the woods,” he said. Erickson also said that even though the winds were reasonably calm, the fire spread rapidly in three directions because of the terrain. In places, rocky ledges impeded firefighters’ access. see next page

from preceding page rocky ledges impeded firefighters’ access. “This was fought largely with backpacks, picks and shovels, he said. Erickson said the fire was reported to officials at 1:45 p.m. and was declared under control shortly after the fifth alarm was sounded around 4 p.m. He said the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid and the Community Emergency Response Team along with firefighters from Gilford, Belmont, Meredith, Center Harbor, Holderness, Tilton-Northfield, Gilmanton, Sanbornton, Franklin, Moultonborough, Bristol, Alton, Barnstead, New Hampton, and the State Department of Resources and Development. He said the CERT team bought supplies from a local supermarket and made sandwiches for the firefighters — something he said they really appreciated. He said Laconia Police kept the Weirs Boulevard closed during the fire. Erickson said firefighters returned twice on Sunday to extinguish hot spots and check for rekindling but he said Sunday night’s cold temperatures likely cooled any hot areas.

Erickson also said the second Saturday fire near the Langley Cove that was reported several hours later was not sparked by embers from the first fire. He said what wind, there was was not blowing in the direction of Langley Cove. He also said the distance between the fires and the time of night was inconsistent with embers falling from the first fire. Erickson said the Langley Cove fire charred brush right up to the edge of some mobile homes. He said this fire was extinguished by 1:30 a.m. Sunday. “There were no signs of campfires or accidental ignition in either fire,” Erickson said. Laconia Police Capt. Matt Canfield said he would describe the series of fires as “kind of odd” and “definitely weird.” He said there has been some information that there were two people seen getting out of and into a silver car shortly before the first fire was reported but said police only want to talk these people or anyone else who may have been in the area before the fire. Anyone with any information about any of the fires is asked to call the Laconia Police at 524-5252, the greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

LACONIA — In what it is hoped will be a rebirth of interest in crosscountry running at Laconia High School, both past and present members of LHS cross-country teams, men and women, are being invited to a Bridging the Years event at the Laconia Public Library on Friday, May 17, at 6:30 p.m. Andy Mercer, Laconia High School cross-country coach, said that he is hoping that runners spanning several generations will show up for the event, which will feature the renaming of two awards that are presented each year to team members. He said that the Most Valuable Player Award will be renamed the Larry Stinson Award in honor of Stinson, whom he called ‘’a superstar runner’’ and was a star of the Laconia High School cross-country teams which took three consecutive Class M state titles from 1974 to 1976. The award now called the Coaches Award will be renamed in honor of Tom Dowling, a long-time LHS crosscountry coach who was a championship runner at Simonds High School in Warner in the 1960s. That award goes to the runner who meets the coaches criteria of dedication and improvement. Mercer said that members of both
the girls’ and boys’ teams will receive the newly-renamed awards. Mercer said that a famous photo of Stinson, then a sophomore, crossing the finish line in a virtual dead heat with LHS freshman B.J. Fowler ran in Sports Illustrated in December 1974. Both finished with times of 13.10.36 with Fowler taking first. But tragedy struck in December 1975 when Stinson was fatally wounded in a shooting. A Kiwanis Club scholarship was established in his name, according to Russ Lagueux, now of Londonderry and a 1979 graduate of Laconia High School, who said that last fall, after witnessing the success of Laconia High School cross-country runner Samantha “Sami” Hicks, he became curious about whatever had happened to that award. ‘’When I found out that it was no longer awarded I got ahold of Tara Hickey (now Tara Cox) and talked to her about doing something to bring it back,’’ says Lagueux, who says that he also talked with Laconia Public Library Librarian Randy Brough, who ran on the same cross-country teams with Stinson and Fowler that dominated Class L running, about putting together ad event for former runners. ‘’I was a good runner on a great team,’’ says Lagueux, who recalls see next page

WINONA from page one According to Sgt. Eric Robertson, the incident was reported to the New Hampshire Marine Patrol at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. Witnesses told Marine Patrol said that Hadlock, who was operating a 14-foot Sea Nymph powered by 6-horsepower outboard, was seated reaching for the motor when he fell into the lake. Lutz said yesterday that he saw Hadlock fall into the lake and begin treading water before slipping beneath the surface. By then Lutz said that he had
launched a canoe and begun paddling toward where he last saw Hadlock, a distance he estimated at 100 yards. Not far from his boat, its stern filling with water, he found Hadlock floating face down on the surface of the lake. “I didn’t try to get him in the canoe,” Lutz said. He’s a big guy and it was small canoe and I was afraid of tipping it over and then two of us would be in the water. Instead I grabbed his arm and got his face out of the water,” he continued. “Then I twisted his arm and held it between my legs to keep his head out of
the water.” When he reached shore he opened Hadlock’s airways and, with an assistance from another bystander, began CPR. He said he and the bystander continued performing CPR until emergency medical personnel from the New Hampton Fire Department arrived some “ten or twenty minutes later.” Lutz said that he could not tell if his efforts to resuscitate Hadlock were successful, but subsequently learned that EMTs found his pulse in the ambulance. Hadlock was not wearing a personal flotation device.
from preceding page being recruited as a runner by Dowling, who taught English at Laconia High School. ‘’We used to run the mile in high school gym classes and when he saw my time he told me I should be running for his team. He really encouraged me and was a great coach,’’ says Lagueux He said that Dowling moved out-of-state after his Laconia years and died of a heart attack he suffered while running in the 1990s. ‘’We’re hoping this event will bring some energy back to the idea of running cross-country in the Lakes Region,’’ says Lagueux, who is hoping that it will result in the formation of a Boosters Club to help support the high school cross-county teams. Mercer, who is a third grade teacher at Elm Street Elementary School, has been coaching cross-country
for seven years at Laconia High School. ‘’There’s a rich tradition in athletics in Laconia and people in the community are invested in seeing kids do well. There’s a lot of competition for talent, especially girls, who have field hockey, volleyball, soccer and cheer-leading to chose from for fall sports. I’m hoping that the success which Sami Hicks has had and the promise shown by some young runners at the Laconia Middle School will get more kids interested in cross-country,’’ says Mercer. Mercer said that the event at the library will be catered by North Country Deli, which is owned by the Wernig family of Gilford, whose daughter Gretchen – now Gretchen Gandini – was a star cross-country runner at Gilford High School in the 1990s and is now executive director of the WOW Trail committee, which is building a recreational trail through downtown Laconia.
BURY from page 2 arrangements. He declined to be more specific. Meanwhile, a friend of the surviving suspect in the bombings was released from federal custody Monday amid a swell of support from family and friends, but was under strict house arrest and only allowed to leave his home to meet with lawyers and for true emergencies. Also, the administrator of the One Fund Boston released the protocol for payouts of the fund, with the families of those who lost loved ones and individuals who suffered double amputations or permanent brain damage in the bombings receiving the highest payments. The question of where Tamerlan Tsarnaev will be buried dragged on for another day, and the issue seemed far from resolved. see next page

from preceding page Stefan said he plans to ask for a burial in the city of Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived. Cambridge has asked him not to do so. Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy urged the Tsarnaev family not to make a request. “The difficult and stressful efforts of the citizens of the City of Cambridge to return to a peaceful life would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and wide spread media presence at such an interment,” Healy said in a statement Sunday. Stefan also said he had out-of-state burial offers but refused to give additional details, adding he was worried protests will rise up at any place that agrees to the burial, as they have at his own funeral home. “Once the neighbors find out who’s coming, they’re going to come out,” he said. The founder of the organization that built Colorado’s largest mosque, Sheikh Abu-Omar Almubarac, says he is offering to bury Tsarnaev in a Denver-
area Muslim cemetery. He says he’ll bury Tsarnaev as long as his family can get the body to Denver. If Russia refuses to accept the body, Cambridge may be forced to take it, said Wake Forest University professor Tanya Marsh, an expert in U.S. law on the disposal of human remains. Massachusetts law requires every community to provide a suitable place to bury its residents, she said. Cambridge’s appeal to the family not to ask it to bury the body is likely a way to set up its defense if the family goes to court to try to force the burial, Marsh said. Such a case would be unprecedented in Massachusetts, she said. She added that even in a country that’s had its share of notorious accused killers, this kind of opposition to a burial is unheard of and is exposing holes in the law, Marsh said. “It’s a mess,” she said. “We’re really sort of in uncharted territory.”

Belmont held a slim 4-3 lead heading into the halftime break. Hollis-Brookline tied the game at 4 early in the second half, then Belmont took control.

SYRIA from page 2 The dueling statements highlighted the difficulties of investigating allegations of chemical weapons use. President Barack Obama has said the use of chemical weapons by the regime is a “red line” but he needs more time to determine if Assad’s forces had used chemical weapons in the Syria’s civil war. The latest controversy was sparked by Carla Del Ponte, a former war crimes prosecutor. She told the Italian-language Swiss public broadcaster SRI in an interview late Sunday that her panel’s
investigators have “strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas from the way the victims were treated.” “We have evidence on the use of chemical weapons, in particular sarin. Not by the government, but the opposition,” Del Ponte said, adding that this was based on interviews with victims, doctors and field hospitals in neighboring countries. On Monday, the commission said that it “wishes to clarify that it has not reached conclusive findings as to the use of chemical weapons in Syria by any parties to the conflict.”

Colby was one of the founders of Laconia Little League in 1953 and the playing field was named in his honor in 1982. League President Eric Petell announced at the ceremony that the league is dedicating this season to the memory of Colby, who died last October at the age of 93. Players from each team piled flowers near home plate in memory of Colby. After his death, Red Charland, who started coaching Little League teams in 1964 and himself had 40 years of
involvement with the Laconia Little League, said, ‘’He left a mark that will never be forgotten. That’s why the Little League field was named after him. He was probably the most eventempered and caring person I ever worked with. He was the glue that held everything together for the Little League. Everyone respected him and he was always the person we turned to get things done.’’ Colby was active in the Laconia Little League ever since it was founded in 1953, serving as a coach, manager, treasurer, vice president, president of the league as well as president of District Two in the state Little League organization.

SOME THINGS ARE FOREVER If you ever lost a part of your tooth structure due to trauma or decay, you probably have a filling (dental restoration) in your mouth. It will generally last for many years; but it will eventually need to be replaced. Teeth can usually be retained for a lifetime with proper care, but fillings can crack or chip, wear out slowly, or fall out quickly when decay undermines them. Decay germs will work their way into any gaps between the tooth and the worn or cracked filling. If your dentist discovers a filling that needs to be replaced, you should get it done as soon as you can. Without treatment your tooth will not get better - it will actually get worse over time. A minor restorative need left untreated can lead to a major restorative which ends up being more expensive. A minor restorative need left untreated will eventually develop into a toothache. At that point, the tooth needs either root canal therapy (which enables you to retain and restore it), or extraction. Should you need restorative dentistry, ask your dentist what kinds of fillings are available and which is the best one in your situation. Just like preventive medicine, timely dental care is the wise choice if you want to save time, save money, and save your teeth. George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com

Blues bands performing Gardener to show how to make floral Mother’s Day gifts Saturday at Moulton Farm at Pitman’s on Friday MEREDITH — Long-time gardener and landscaper Sue Dail will give pointers on making container gardens as presents for Mother’s Day on Saturday at Moulton Farm. Dail, a member of the Moulton Farm staff, will demonstrate how to plant the container and explain to the adults how to keep the plants growing. The demonstrations will be given from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A fee will be charged for those taking part in the Made for Mom event. No advance registration is necessary. Dail’s love of plants started when she was a young girl of 4. “I started learning about plants just by following my grandfather around,” she remembers. “He was what I guess you’d call a Yankee gardener. I’d help
him pick rocks out of beds, plant seeds and dig in the soil to put plants in. To me it was just having fun, but I was learning without knowing it.” Those early lessons turned into a career for Dail. Eventually she would start a landscape business and spent 11 years working in a garden center before joining the Moulton Farm staff eight years ago. Now she puts her experience into starting and caring for plants in the farm’s many greenhouses and helping customers choose plants for gardens and containers. Moulton Farm is located at 18 Quarry Road off Route 25. More information can be found at www.moultonfarm. com or on Facebook at Facebook.com/MoultonFarm.

and cooperation. It’s easy to be generous when you know you’re going to win. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You do your most brilliant work when you lose your awareness of how you’re coming off, the time and all possible gains that could come of a project. Lose yourself, and you gain everything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A female figure will be important to the action. She will encourage you in just the right way and/or gently hold you accountable for what you wanted to accomplish. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Unusual circumstances could inspire you to behave in a way that is not typical of you. The response you get will be most enlightening, and there’s something concrete to gain from what you learn. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 7). This month you will meet someone new, immediately like that person and spark an epic relationship. Success in June depends on your ability to observe well and correctly analyze what you see. Actively seek mentorship. July is your chance to do a different kind of work. Home or transportation upgrades happen in August. Aquarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 44, 48 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t control what other people want, and it usually isn’t about you, anyway. You’re on a mission to find a good fit. Mutual benefits are the only benefits that interest you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You see only your half of a relationship. You’ll never know exactly what the other person thinks and feels. It is likely that what is demonstrated is only the tip of the iceberg. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your playfulness knows no bounds today. You’ll see most of your interactions as opportunities to spread warmth and silliness. Forging lighthearted connections is a noble pursuit. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The beautiful part about living honestly is that questions won’t scare you. You’ll get some odd questions today, and you’ll feel perfectly comfortable expressing who you are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your life will be touched by an element of mystery and glamour. You’re smart, and you’ll figure out the illusion involved, but you’re also fun, so you’ll take your sweet time, enjoying the ruse. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your emotional life gets a boost with today’s close encounter. This could be about making new friends, allowing yourself to be influenced or experiencing the rush that comes with new love. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those who work for praise or the ego rush that comes from extra attention won’t be able to sustain a consistent workflow. Seek partners who use work as a means to learn, improve and share. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Wellmeaning friends will give crummy advice. Just because someone is close to you doesn’t make him or her an expert on your life. It’s better to ask the real experts about the issues that affect you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though you’re in the midst of a competition, it will benefit you to tone down the level of aggression and cultivate a spirit of harmony

TUESDAY PRIME TIME
Today is Tuesday, May 7, the 127th day of 2013. There are 238 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 7, 1763, Pontiac, chief of the Ottawa Indians, attempted to lead a sneak attack on British-held Fort Detroit, but was foiled because the British had been tipped off in advance. (The Ottawa Indians and other tribes then launched an all-out war with the British that came to be known as Pontiac’s War.) On this date: In 1789, the first inaugural ball was held in New York in honor of President George Washington and his wife, Martha. In 1824, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, had its premiere in Vienna. In 1825, composer Antonio Salieri died in Vienna, Austria. In 1833, composer Johannes Brahms was born in Hamburg, Germany. In 1840, composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born in Votkinsk, Russia. In 1915, nearly 1,200 people died when a German torpedo sank the British liner RMS Lusitania off the Irish coast. In 1942, U.S. Army Gen. Jonathan Wainwright went on a Manila radio station to announce the Allied surrender of the Philippines to Japanese forces during World War II. In 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Rheims (rams), France, ending its role in World War II. In 1954, the 55-day Battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam ended with Vietnamese insurgents overrunning French forces. In 1963, the United States launched the Telstar 2 communications satellite. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford formally declared an end to the “Vietnam era.” In Ho Chi Minh City — formerly Saigon — the Viet Cong celebrated its takeover. In 1992, the latest addition to America’s space shuttle fleet, Endeavour, went on its first flight. A 203-year-old proposed constitutional amendment barring Congress from giving itself a midterm pay raise received enough votes for ratification as Michigan became the 38th state to approve it. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush ordered the lifting of sanctions against Iraq, and called on members of the U.N. Security Council to do the same. The White House announced President Bush had chosen New Mexico oilman Colin R. McMillan to be secretary of the Navy and Air Force Secretary James Roche to replace the dismissed secretary of the Army, Thomas White. (However, McMillan died in an apparent suicide in July 2003, while Roche’s nomination languished in Congress before being withdrawn in March 2004.) Five years ago: President George W. Bush, addressing the Council of Americas, said Cuba’s post-Fidel Castro leadership had made only “empty gestures at reform” as he rejected calls for easing U.S. restrictions on the communist island. Dmitry Medvedev was sworn in as Russia’s president. One year ago: Education Secretary Arne Duncan broke ranks with the White House, stating his unequivocal support for same-sex marriage one day after Vice President Joe Biden suggested on NBC that he supported gay marriage as well.

Bruins score early & often in 5-2 playoff win against Maple Leafs TORONTO (AP) — The Boston Bruins spoiled the return of playoff hockey to Toronto, scoring two quick goals in the second period in a 5-2 victory over the Maple Leafs on Monday night. Adam McQuaid, Rich Peverley, Nathan Horton, Daniel Paille and David Krejci, with an empty-net goal with 1:17 remaining, scored for Boston The win came before 19,746 fans inside the Air Canada Centre. Outside, a blue-and-white throng watched on a big screen in Maple Leaf Square as playoff hockey returned to Toronto for the first time since 2004. After being beaten 4-2 in Boston on Saturday night, the Bruins upped their game. The Leafs, meanwhile, made mistakes and were punished, although they tried to close the gap with a busy third period in which they outshot the visitors 18-6. The Leafs finished with a 47-38 edge in shots. Game 4 is Wednesday in Toronto, with Boston leading 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
The dominant line of Milan Lucic, Krejci and Horton finished with two goals and six assists. They have combined for 17 points through the first three postseason games, with five goals and 12 assists. Jake Gardiner and Phil Kessel replied for Toronto in a physical game. It was the Leafs’ first home playoff game since May 4, 2004, when Toronto lost 3-2 in overtime to Philadelphia to lose the conference semifinals 4-2. Fans were rewarded for their patience with free scarves Monday night — but not with a win. The last home playoff win came in that same series, a 3-1 victory on April 30, 2004. For the Bruins, the playoffs are business as usual. Boston, which won the Cup two years ago, is in the postseason for the sixth straight year. Inside the arena, chants of “Go Leafs Go” started before warm-ups. Even the national anthem singer got an ovation, with the crowd belting out “O
Canada” with him. The crowd showed Kessel some love, chanting “Thank You Kessel.” That was unlike in Boston, where fans used the chant to taunt the former Bruin. Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference returned from his one-game suspension. Rookie Dougie Hamilton, who replaced Ference on Saturday, dropped out of the lineup. Toronto outshot Boston early but it was James Reimer called on to make a huge save midway through the period. He gave up a rebound and Tyler Seguin swooped in, but Reimer stopped his closerange backhand with his blocker. The Bruins had an edge about them and scored first when McQuaid’s shot from the point beat Reimer to the stick side. The Toronto goalie looked aghast, as if the puck had done something strange before passing him. It was Boston’s seventh goal of the series and the fourth scored by defensemen.
BUDGET from page 3 state aid or with making cuts elsewhere to provide the aid. The state is in a difficult position since it needs the hospitals to agree to be part of its managed care network for Medicaid clients to implement the system, but the hospitals are balking at the state’s low reimbursement levels for treating Medicaid patients. Hassan and lawmakers hope restoring some of the hospital aid will encourage the hospitals to join the state’s managed care network.
Odell’s committee is meeting May 14 to set the revenue estimates the Senate will use to write its version of the state budget for the next two years. The Senate votes on its budget June 6. The House and Senate then will try to negotiate a compromise before the new fiscal year begins on July 1. In projecting future revenues for the next budget, Odell said his committee will come up with a base amount that does not include money not likely to be repeated, such as from lawsuits. He said he estimates
so far this year the state is $21 million above projections. His committee could decide the base amount of money the state can expect to get each of the next two years is $2.3 billion, he said. Two percent growth would be only $44 million a year, he said. On Monday, the Senate committee heard an update from its tax collecting agency, which reported healthy receipts from the two largest business taxes. Lindsey Stepp, a financial analyst at the Department of Revenue Administration, said receipts from the tax on hotel room rentals and restaurant meals also is coming in stronger than expected. She attributed that to a snowy ski and snowmobile season that brought tourists to New Hampshire. New Hampshire’s year-to-date tax collections were $48 million above projections in April, a big month for business tax filings. The receipts from business taxes were $18 million above estimates. The state also received $21 million from a settlement of litigation with tobacco manufacturers and counted $6 million from a lawsuit over gasoline additive MTBE. That pushed the state $34 million ahead of projections for the fiscal year ending June 30 and all but ended talk of Hassan needing to raid funds with dedicated funding sources to balance the budget for the year. Instead, both Hassan and Odell believe New Hampshire will end the fiscal year with a small surplus that could go into a savings account. New Hampshire only has about $9 million in savings.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband works at a private college. His male boss had an affair with one of the female directors under him. My husband and his assistant found out about it and, after much deliberation, brought it to the attention of the human resources department. The president of the college was informed, but he only put the two guilty parties on suspension for two weeks. My husband and his assistant still have to work for this man. He constantly undermines them, and it is obvious that there is no future for my husband at this college. The affair is still going on, and my husband has told no one else. The spouses are in the dark, too. My husband has only worked for this college for a few years. Until this affair, he loved his job and did it well. Our daughter graduates high school next year, and we were hoping she could attend this school tuition-free. Instead, we may have to move, losing whatever benefits we may have accrued. Should my husband ask for compensation when he leaves, such as some kind of tuition benefit? The president is about to retire and has no interest in moving my husband to a different department. How do we handle this? -- In a Bind Dear Bind: How does your husband feel about the situation? If his daughter were guaranteed a tuition-free education at this college, would he be able to stick it out for another year or two until she is established? Is the president of the college the only one who can transfer your husband to another department? Would it do any good for him to go back to the human resources department? Please discuss his options, and then let him do whatever he feels is best. We know you have a vested interest in the outcome, but it is his job, and he should make the final decision. Dear Annie: My husband and I have eight grown children
between us and an ever-increasing number of grandchildren. We make a good living, but when several of them come home for the weekends, the grocery bills get very high, especially when I have to buy for those with food allergies and unusual preferences. Now that some of our kids have good salaries, what’s the best way to say it would be nice if everyone chipped in when we have weekends together? I find it difficult to ask, and some of them get a little annoyed that we would even think they should help. They’ve been known to send requests for the meals they want. I’ve thought about sending out an email with the anticipated menus and asking them to let me know whether they would like to bring or prepare any of it. Is that fair? -- Too Good of a Cook Dear Cook: This is your family, and they are staying the weekend. They should be pitching in at every meal, and you should not be afraid to tell them so. Since they refuse to offer graciously, it’s fine to send a group email and assign a type of dish (starch, vegetable) to each child. Be upbeat and excited about their contribution to the weekend, and say you can’t wait to taste their cooking. They can swap assignments or ask to prepare something else, but if they bring nothing, please do not compensate by cooking it yourself. Simply say you’re sorry there will be less to eat. Dear Annie: I read the response from “Frank” about guests who track snow into the house. His suggestion is for the hostess to let people know in advance that they will have to take off their shoes.
