Talking to children about loss By Mike Mortensen
FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Less than a month after a Laconia Middle School student Lily Johnson died after being struck by a car as she was walking home from school, sessions have been scheduled as a way to help young people cope and rebound from such a loss. Parents are often unsure about how to help children cope with death, but it can be even more challenging when it’s a friend or classmate who has died. Experts say communication is the key to helping children navigate their emotions. While the sessions which New Hampshire Catholic Charities will offer starting Thursday in Laconia are designed to assist young people coping with different types of loss, the announcement from the social service agency says that youngsters who are coming to terms with the death of a classmate could find the program especially helpful. “The recent death of Lily makes offering this program more poignant,” said Leonard Campbell, who handles parish and community outreach for the New Hampshire Catholic Charities Laconia see LOSS page 12

Citing health, Laconia superintendent steps down
Bob Champlin has been a presence in city schools since 1980, superintendent for 13 years By Michael kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After serving for 31 years in the city school system, the last 13 of them as Superintendent of Schools, Bob Champlin announced yesterday that he will step down at the close of the school year. In a letter to Joe Cormier, who chairs the School Board, read when the board met last
night, Champlin explained “as you know, I have had some significant struggles with a health issue. While I am confident I will get better (as I have many times before),” he continued, “I also know that the Laconia Schools need and deserve consistent leadership.” Later Champlin said that “nothing is more important to me than the well-being
of our schools, our students, our teachers and our staff. It is a 24/7 job and I’m afraid I would make a mistake. This was a very tough decision.” He said that he had no immediate plans other than “to get my health together.” He explained that in the 18 years since he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis “I’ve battled it really well. see CHAMPLIN page 11

SHANGHAI (AP) — BYD is known for electric cars but this year’s flagship model is the S7, a gasoline-powered SUV. It comes with an air purifier, radar to help with backing and digital TV. An onboard hard drive can hold 1,000 films. This is China’s Year of the SUV. Whatever their specialties used to be, automakers ranging from global brands to China’s ambitious rookies are scrambling to cash in on the explosive popularity of sport utility vehicles. “We are selling vehicles that have extensive technologies,” said Isbrand Ho, BYD’s director of export sales. “These are all on ... premium models for European marques but we are making it available to the everyday person.” The SUV boom clashes with Beijing’s efforts to push automakers to develop electric cars and to sell smaller vehicles to help curb smog and demand for imported oil.

BEIRUT (AP) — In his first response to Israel’s weekend airstrikes, President Bashar Assad said Tuesday that Syria is capable of facing Israel, but stopped short of threatening retaliation for the strikes near the Syrian capital of Damascus. Assad spoke after a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, who paid an unexpected visit to Damascus. Iran, one of Syria’s closest allies, and Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia allied with both Assad and Tehran, have become increasingly involved in Syria’s civil war, supporting the regime with fighters, military advisers and weapons.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware became the 11th state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage when Democratic Gov. Jack Markell signed a gay marriage bill into law just minutes after its passage by the state Senate on Tuesday. “I do not intend to make any of you wait one moment longer,” a smiling Markell told about 200 jubilant supporters who erupted in cheers and applause following the 12-9 Senate vote

Israel’s airstrikes on Friday and Sunday put Syria and Iran in a difficult position because if they retaliated, they would run the risk of drawing Israel’s powerful army into the war. At the same time, inaction further weakens Assad’s already shaky

Meanwhile, there was no resolution about where to bury one of the two suspects in the attack.

Israel has not formally acknowledged the strikes, but Israeli officials have said they targeted shipments of advanced Iranian weapons possibly bound for Hezbollah. The officials have said the aim was to deprive Hezbollah of weapons that could someday be used against Israel, not to raise tensions with Syria. Israel has largely stayed on the sidelines since the uprising against Assad, which erupted in March 2011, turned into an armed insurgency and finally a civil war. see SYRIA page 9

Mark Sanford wins South Carolina congressional race
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has redeemed a political career sidelined by scandal by winning his old congressional seat. Sanford defeated Elizabeth Colbert (KOHL’buhrt) Busch Tuesday in the state’s 1st Congressional District. Colbert Busch is the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert (kohl-BEHR’). With 71 percent of precincts reporting, Sanford has 54 percent of the vote. At one time, Sanford was mentioned as a possible GOP presidential contender. But his career unraveled when, as governor four years ago, he disappeared for five days, telling his staff he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. He returned to admit he had been in Argentina with his mistress. Sanford later paid a $70,000 ethics fine, the largest in state history. Sanford has never lost a political race.
Police face questions after 3 missing Ohio women found
CLEVELAND (AP) — One neighbor says a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the home’s doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows. Both times, police showed up but never went inside, neighbors say. Police also paid a visit to the house in 2004, but no one answered the door. Now, after three women who vanished a decade ago were found captive Monday at the run-down house, Cleveland police are facing questions for the second time in four years about their handling of missing-person cases and are conducting an internal review to see if they overlooked anything. City Safety Director Martin Flask said Tuesday that investigators had no record of anyone calling about criminal activity at the house but were still checking police, fire and emergency databases. The three women were rescued after one of them kicked out the bottom portion of a locked screen door and used a neighbor’s telephone to call 911. “Help me. I’m Amanda Berry,” she breathlessly told a dispatcher in a call that exhilarated and astonished much of the city. “I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years and I’m, I’m here, I’m free now.” Berry, 27, Michelle Knight, 32, and Gina DeJesus, about 23, had apparently been held captive in the house since their teens or early 20s, police Chief Michael McGrath said. Three brothers, ages 50 to 54, were arrested. One of them, former school bus driver Ariel Castro, owned the home, situated in a poor neighborhood dotted with boarded-up houses just south of downtown. No charges were filed. A relative of the three brothers said their family was “totally shocked” after hearing about the missing women being found at the home. Juan Alicea said the arrests of his wife’s brothers had left relatives “as blindsided as anyone else” in their community. He said he hadn’t been to the home of his brother-in-law Ariel Castro since the early 1990s but had eaten dinner with Castro at a different brother’s house shortly before the arrests were made Monday. A 6-year-old girl believed to be Berry’s daughter also was found in the home, police Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said. He would not say who the father was. The women were reported by police to be in good health and were reunited with joyous family members but remained in seclusion. “Prayers have finally been answered. The nightmare is over,” said Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI in Cleveland. “These three young ladies have provided us with the ultimate definition of survival and perseverance. The healing can now begin.” see MISSING page 7

NH Senate panel considering bill hiking gas tax CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Repairing New Hampshire’s deteriorating roads and bridges must be a priority for lawmakers, according to testimony at a Senate hearing Tuesday, but opinions were split over where the money should come from: higher taxes at the pump or proceeds from a long-debated casino. A proposal before the Senate Ways and Means Committee would raise the state’s gas and diesel tax 12 cents per gallon over several years but opponents of the idea were keen to back an alternative — legalizing a casino. Tax hike opponents argue that increasing the gas and diesel tax — collectively known as the road toll, which hasn’t been raised in 22 years — would hurt the trucking industry and pass costs to consumers. But they said a Senate-passed casino proposal directing a portion of state gambling revenue to transportation projects provides a nontax alternative.
Many who favor increasing the road toll also said they support expanded gambling in the state, but they don’t want to rely on a casino, that has yet to be approved, to cover the state’s transportation needs. “I want to see a casino right on (Interstate) 93, but that’s not where we are today,” said Kevin Waterhouse, a Windham Republican who serves on the House Public Works and Highways committee. “We need to make sure there will be funding no matter what happens in the house on (the casino bill).” The Senate passed a casino legalization bill last month, but the House has consistently rejected such proposal over the years. Supporters say the extra road toll money would go to the state’s highway fund, with 12 percent dedicated for municipal aid. The state has more than 1,600 miles of road rated in poor condition, and close see GAS page 12

The Pope & godless capitalism “This is called slave labor,” said Pope Francis. The Holy Father was referring to the $40 a month paid to apparel workers at that eight-story garment factory in Bangladesh that collapsed on top of them, killing more than 400. “Not paying a just wage ... focusing exclusively on the balance books, on financial statements, only looking at personal profit. That goes against God!” The pope is describing the dark side of globalism. Why is Bangladesh, after China, the second-largest producer of apparel in the world? Why are there 4,000 garment factories in that impoverished country which, a few decades ago, had almost none? Because the Asian subcontinent is where Western brands — from Disney to Gap to Benetton — can produce cheapest. They can do so because women and children will work for $1.50 a day crammed into factories that are rickety firetraps, where health and safety regulations are nonexistent. This is what capitalism, devoid of a conscience, will produce. Rescuers at the factory outside Dhaka have stopped looking for survivors, but expect to find hundreds more bodies in the rubble. The Walt Disney Co., with sales of $40 billion a year, decided — after an apparel plant fire in November took the lives of 112 workers — to stop producing in Bangladesh. “The Disney ban now extends to other countries, including Pakistan,” says The New York Times, “where a fire last September killed 262 garment workers.” Not long ago, the shirts, skirts, suits and dresses Americans wore were “Made in the USA” — in plants in the Carolinas, Georgia and Louisiana, where the lower wages, lighter regulations and air conditioning that came after World War II had attracted the factories from New England. The American idea was that the 50 states and their citizens should compete with one another fairly. The feds set the health and safety standards that all factories had to meet, and imposed wage and hour laws. Some states offered lower wages, but there was a federal minimum wage. How did we prevent companies from shutting down here and going to places like today’s Bangladesh to produce as cheaply as they could — without regard for the health and safety of their workers — and to send their products back here and kill the American factories? From James Madison to the mid-20th century, we had a tariff. This provided revenue for the U.S. government to keep other taxes low and build the nation’s infrastructure. Tariffs prevented
exploiters of labor from getting rich here on sweatshops abroad. Tariffs favored U.S. companies by letting them compete for free in the U.S. market, while a cover charge was placed on foreign goods entering the U.S.A. Foreign producers would pay tariffs for the privilege of competing here, while U.S. companies paid income taxes. Foreigners had to buy a ticket to the game. Americans got in free. After all, it’s our country, isn’t it? But in the late 20th century, America abandoned as “protectionism” what Henry Clay had called The American System. We gave up on economic patriotism. We gave up on the idea that the U.S. economy should be structured for the benefit of America and Americans first. We embraced globalism. The ideological basis of globalism was that, just as what was best for America was a free market where U.S. companies produce and sell anywhere freely and equally in the U.S.A., this model can be applied worldwide. We can create a global economy where companies produce where they wish and sell where they wish. As one might expect, the big boosters of the concept were the transnational corporations. They could now shift plants and factories out of the high-wage, well-regulated U.S. economy to Mexico, China and India, then to Bangladesh, Haiti and Cambodia, produce for pennies, ship their products back to the U.S.A., sell here at the same old price, and pocket the difference. As some who were familiar with the decline of Great Britain predicted, this would lead inexorably to the deindustrialization of America, a halt to the steady rise in U.S. workers’ wages and standard of living, and the enrichment of a new class of corporatists. Meanwhile, other nations, believing yet in economic nationalism, would invade and capture huge slices of the U.S. market for their home companies, their “national champions.” The losers would be the companies that stayed in the U.S.A. and produced for the U.S.A., with American workers. And so it came to pass. U.S. real wages have not risen in 40 years. In the first decade of the century, America lost 5 million to 6 million manufacturing jobs, one in every three we had, as 55,000 factories closed. Since Bush 41 touted his New World Order, we have run trade deficits of $10 trillion — ten thousand billion dollars! Everybody — the EU, China, Japan, Mexico, Canada — now runs a trade surplus at the expense of the U.S.A. We built the global economy — by gutting our own.
LETTERS County residents are victims in Worsman’s war against commission To the editor, The quagmire that Belknap County Convention Chair Colette Worsman has created for this county is unnecessary and counterproductive. As chairs of the Belknap County and Lakes Region Democrats, we are calling for a cease fire in the ongoing battle between the majority of the delegation’s Republican members and the county commissioners. Rather than spend taxpayer money on legal representation, Rep. Worsman should reconsider her position on the line item spending issue, cancel the “non-meeting” in Concord on May 8th, and come back to the table with consensus and civility as the goals. By calling a “non-meeting” followed by a public meeting, Rep. Worsman is walking a very narrow line. Calling for the county delegation to meet in Concord is highly unusual and effectively cuts Belknap County residents out of the conversation. Moreover, by summarily dismissing the information provided by Belknap County administration regarding the supplemental nursing home appropriation, while simultaneously demanding even more information, Rep. Worsman is potentially denying the public access to rehabilitation services (which could generate up to $200 million in additional revenue for the county) as well as overstepping her role as chair. Perhaps if Rep. Worsman had allowed the subcommittees more time to learn about the operation of the Nursing Home, rather than ramming through her slash-andburn county budget that only is only balanced on the backs of our county employees, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Regardless, whether or not the information provided by the administration is
adequate is a question to be put to the entire delegation as well as the public at large. Instead of finding ways to get around New Hampshire’s public meeting laws, Rep. Worsman should conduct the delegation’s fact finding in public and on the record. This latest skirmish is simply another in the stand off between Rep. Worsman and the county commissioners which began as soon as she took office. She lobbied aggressively for the chairperson slot and, upon her election, set off immediately on what appears to be a witch hunt. Belknap County has seen its share of misdeeds and reprehensible behavior at the county level, but those days are long gone. The current commissioners have earned the respect of, and have been re-elected by, the communities they serve because of their careful stewardship not only of tax dollars but also of the institutions in their care, among them the county courthouse, the Department of Corrections and the county nursing home. It is now Rep. Worsman’s behavior that is reprehensible. This vitriol must stop. This is a vendetta; it is not leadership. The ground on which Rep. Worsman is attempting to stand is shaky. Will she and the majority of like-minded Republicans in the county delegation please take a step back, listen with an open mind to the testimony and suggestions of the commissioners, the staff and the other public and move forward on behalf of all Belknap County residents?

Lead sinkers are cheap for fishermen but very costly for loons To the editor, I am writing to urge broad support for SB-89 to be voted on shortly by the N.H. House. The bill would prohibit the use of certain smaller toxic lead jigs and sinkers in fishing tackle. It would protect loons by restricting the use lead fishing sinkers weighing one ounce or less. This fishing tackle is by far the largest source of documented adult loon mortality and has had a significant negative impact upon our state’s small loon population.
This legislation sponsored in the State Senate by Senator Jeanie Forrester will have minimal effect upon fishermen, but a huge effect upon loons and other wildlife that feeds upon the bottom of NH fresh water lakes. The use of a non-lead sinker or jig that is not poisonous will have no effect upon catching fish. Please keep in mind that loons do not reproduce until their sixth year of life or later, and loon pairs have an average of only one surviving chick

LETTERS Summer residents, help save Newfound Lake from wind turbines To the editor, Welcome Back! If Newfound Lake residents and visitors are annoyed and dismayed by the intrusion of the Groton Wind Farm, they will be even angrier if these next three wind projects move forward. Residents and visitors alike want to protect the natural beauty of the area. Many returning summer residents were shocked to find out that Newfound Lake is being targeted by industrial wind developers. Many refuse to accept the plans of four wind power plants, totaling 125+ turbines, reaching 454 feet high around the shoreline of Newfound Lake. Visitors are questioning why New Hampshire officials would allow such an intrusion in the Lakes Region. Is the New Hampshire government misguided — and if so, are they placing their faith and trust in industrial wind developers? Many are questioning the
government. Shouldn’t they have been involved in the negotiations? Shouldn’t there be a limit on how many turbines can be built in one region? Why is Newfound Lake carrying the burden of New Hampshire’s renewable energy plan? Great questions. The very same questions we have been asking for the last five months to no avail. Maybe... just maybe... our voices combined with yours will help turn things around. Maybe our politicians will start listening to our united concerns. I am looking forward to summer residents and visitors getting involved. Please set aside a few hours during the summer months to help save Newfound Lake from being overrun by wind turbines and their blinking red lights at night. Newfound Lake and its scenery are worth fighting for.... Ray Cunningham Bridgewater
Fields reaped what he sowed when he was voted out as clerk To the editor, I have ignored many rude shenanigans by Dennis Fields because he is an elected official and because he is elderly. However, this latest story in your paper on May 2, coming just a few weeks after being the ONLY Republican to vote AGAINST THE CONSITUTION on HB-135, has caused me to no longer have ANY respect for Mr. Fields. I am actually very sorry for him. He doesn’t realize he is being played like a puppet by the commissioners. I get that Mr. Fields is bitter about being voted out as clerk. However, he has to realize, he reaped what he sowed. In addition to this latest round of theatrics, I have sat at numerous meetings over the last four years and witnessed him continuously acting very childish by speaking out of turn, ranting and raving, and consistently speaking with disrespect to others. One has to ask for whose benefit he acts the jester,
because by his own admission, it doesn’t seem to be working out too well for him lately. Had he acted more respectful, he would’ve received respect in return and never had been voted out of his clerk position. I believe the reason Mr. Fields goes to such lengths to accuse the delegates of wrong doing is because he is actually the guilty one. If Mr. Fields can get people to believe that others are doing what he does, sneaking around and behaving badly, then he keeps a clear conscience. Those who expect more from him than acting like a clown and being a traitor to the general good of the constituents, have out-classed him on so many levels, he can longer keep his head up. I believe his time served as a representative will be remembered as Mr. Fields having been the notorious guy who voted against the taxpayers, his party, and the United States Constitution. So sad. Barbara Howard Alton
The proof is in the pudding when it comes to gun control bills To the editor, In some of the ‘Letters to the Editor’ written recently in The Daily Sun, writers seem to be suffering from the following: 1. Hyperbole — obvious and intentional exaggeration, 2. Overstatements, 3. Going well beyond the pale to excess, 4. Blatant ignorance, Just to name a few. The misleading and purposeful outright lies are truly amazing (and not in a good way). How very sad that those individuals have nothing better to do than twist and turn, contort,
and distort the truth of the gun control bills recently proposed in the Senate. Manchin (D) and Toomey (R) are among the mature, clear thinking individuals in the Senate. We should be thanking them for coming together for the common good. As the ole saying goes, “the proof is in the pudding”. Those who supported those gun control bills have gained favor and those who voted against have lost many points of popularity in the polls. Case in point Senator Kelley Ayotte. Her poll numbers have dropped like a rock. Bernadette Loesch Laconia
from preceding page every two years. Thus, survival of adult loons is the most important factor in assuring the continued viability of our state’s loon population. Unfortunately, New Hampshire lost 124 adult loons to ingested lead sinkers and jigs between 1989 and 2011. These deaths have had a significant negative impact on our state’s small loon population. Sinkers and jigs are inexpensive for anglers. If they are lead, they are very
expensive for loons. Substitute nonlead sinkers and jigs are of nominal expense to fishermen and the proposed restriction on the use of small lead sinkers under one ounce should have no adverse affect upon sportsmen and women who enjoy fishing. I urge passage of this common sense legislation. Eric Taussig, Treasurer Loon Preservation Committee Moultonborough

LETTERS Fields lost clerk’s post because of repeated lack of professionalism To the editor, In last Thursdays paper there was an article that stated, “State Representative Dennis Fields (R-Sanbornton), ... was recently voted out of his position as Belknap County Delegation clerk”. But I’m not sure that this is a balanced assessment of what took place. In actuality Rep. Fields would still be clerk if a re-vote out of an abundance of caution had not been taken and to dispel any appearance of impropriety. I believe that in the revote there was demonstrated a loss of confidence in Rep. Fields as a result
of his repeated lack of professionalism. I have to agree with Don Walker who wrote in Friday’s edition, “For me, the most egregious (charge from Rep. Fields) was the threat that he had to “toe the line” or be removed from his clerk post.

To the editor, Although Sanbornton voters have chosen not to adopt SB2 12 times, we are being asked to vote on it again this year. It seems they don’t respect the fact that the majority have made it clear 12 times that they want to retain our Town Meetings. A letter written last week found fault with the suggestion that there might be problems under SB-2, such as the lone voter in the voting booth, faced with a long list of warrant articles, might become confused or frustrated and just vote no all down the line just to get it over with. Not only is it possible but can also occur when the voter has to read the long list of warrant articles. That 15 or 20 minutes or more in the booth isn’t the only problem there either. Taking far longer than our current quick in and out of the booth, there may even be waits to get into the booths while other are working their way done the warrant one issue at a time. In his letter he also stated that if someone couldn’t or didn’t attend Town Meeting meant they forfeited their rights. No, their choice or ability to participate was not exercised but their right to participate was never taken from them. He then goes on to compare Town Meeting to Nazi Germany and North Korea. I find that insulting, and shameful and I think the writer owes the people of our community an apol-
ogy! He then goes on to talk about “freedom of choice”, as he apparently thinks Town Meeting in some way takes that away. That’s not so. Many who do not attend Town Meeting are exercising their “freedom of choice”! Here are some other problems with SB-2. In each of the 20 years since it has been in existance there has been a great deal of legislation filed to make changes in SB-2 in one way or another because of it’s many flaws. Like solving the problem of the warrant article that was amended at a Deliberative Session and, as amended, ended on the ballot as just “To see”. I wonder if the ballot vote on “To see” was yes or no. Those who feel that the 150 or more who attend Town Meeting is too small a group to decide the business of the town are ignoring the fact that a much smaller group, about 50, will make the real decisions under SB-2. The ballot vote will only say yes or no to what the 50 may or may not have amended. You can’t amend in the voting booth. You can vote yes or no on articles such as “To see”, or articles that may have been amended so they have money amounts that aren’t great enough to purchase the intended item. Please vote “NO” to SB-2. Don’t become complacent because we have won 12 times! We need you all to vote “NO SB-2” so we can send the message again. Evelyn Auger Sanbornton
In the beginning was the Word, before that the fossil evidence is clear To the editor, Thank you for publishing Mr. Hanley’s recent letter. It was certainly an extraordinary one. It’s quite reassuring that the editor is open to and willing to publish all different points of view, no matter how extraordinary. Some of us are old enough to remember having prayed in public school and know first hand as to why it was a really bad idea. Darwinism is alive and thriving in the modern world. If you had attended the LHS 2009 commencement ceremony you could have heard the
valedictorian give a very chilling to the point assessment as to the Darwinian world her fellow students were launching off into. So maybe Mr. Hanley has some valid point as to faith and hope being part of the human experience. In the beginning was the Word. Before that the fossil evidence is quite clear. On the basis of the content of his letter it seems Mr. Hanley may at some point be eligible for a nomination for a Darwin Award of his very own. Timothy Sullivan Gilford

Developer agrees to reconsider design of proposed multi-family project By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — At the urging of the Planning Board, Kevin Morrissette, who is seeking to build three duplex units on a lot in Lakeport , reluctantly agreed to reconsider the design of the project after meeting stiff opposition when the board met this week from abutters and neighbors troubled by the prospect of a multi-family complex in their neighborhood of single-family homes. Opposition to the project came as no surprise to the board, which had a police officer on hand at the Belknap Mill where the hearing was held while the City Council met at City Hall. Last month, when the board formally accepted the proposal as complete and scheduled the public hearing, residents crowded City Hall expecting to present a petition and voice their opinions grew frustrated at being told the project would not be discussed until the public hearing. Morrissette’s brother Peter, who was not at the meeting, purchased the 1.02-acre lot at 126 Washington St., directly across the street from Leavitt Park, in January for $57,000. Soon afterward the home on the property, originally built in 1890, was demolished and the lot was cleared. Morrissette plans to construct three identical vinylsided buildings placed in a row along the northwest side of the lot, with the gable end of the first building facing Washington Street, fronted by a parking area with spaces for 15 vehicles. The units would be rented. The lot lies within the “residential general” district where, with municipal water and sewer, six units per acre are permitted by the zoning ordinance. When Warren Hutchins, who chairs the board, opened the hearing Ward 6 City Councilor Armand Bolduc, whose ward includes Lakeport, submitted the petition opposing the project signed by 115 members of the community. The councilor said
that he understood project was permitted, but told the board “make sure it looks like something that belongs on Washington Street. I understand it’s going to be three buildings , so I don’t know how it will look like it belongs there.” After Jeff Burd of RJB Engineering of Concord described the project, board member Larry Guild set the tone for the remainder of the meeting by asking “do all the buildings have to look alike? Can you change the angle of the buildings? How does this fit into the neighborhood?” The project, he said, “has no class, no character.” When Morrissette countered, “I think the buildings look very attractive,” one resident asked, “Are you going to live there, sir?” Attorney Paul Fitzgerald, representing the Morrissettes, distributed photographs of the homes in the area, stressing that “there are a lot of different styles here. It’s impossible to match the style of the neighborhood, because the style, size, color and level of maintenance differ greatly.” “They’re totally ugly,” said Mike Bolduc, whose property abuts the lot to the northwest. “It’s a big ugly box I’m going to be looking at from my backyard. They just don’t fit.” He likened the project to a strip mall, an image Hutchins endorsed. Eager to broker a compromise, board member Bill Contardo suggested that rearranging the buildings to face the street to dispel the image of a strip mall. His colleague Jerry Mailloux said “you’re shoehorning these buildings on to the lot and wondered why three buildings were required. Morrissette explained that the buildings were sited to deter activities in the front yards. Siting the buildings at an angle or parallel to the street, he said, would render the parking arrangements and traffic flow impractical. Morrissette said that the development would not be economically viable with
fewer units while Fitzgerald offered that fewer but larger buildings would be less compatible with the character of the neighborhood. Hutchins said that the project “looks like a strip mall,” noted that Elm Street is a “gateway” to the city and said that the architectural sub-committee of the board would prefer the buildings be relocated.. Joe Cherry, who lives several doors from the lot, acknowledged “you can’t please the entire neighborhood” and proposed that the development be screened with mature trees. He also raised concerns about increased traffic through the neighborhood, warning that “Washington Street could become a racetrack,” and the impact of the project on the value of nearby properties. “What the people want, “ he told the board, “is the house that is gone,” remarking that “ironically it survived the Lakeport fire, but not this.” Robert McCallum of School Street commented, “It’s not a question of pleasing everyone. This eyesore isn’t pleasing anybody.” “What is needed,” Hutchins told Morrissette, “is more discussion between you and the board and the public. If there is a motion to approve or disapprove the application,” he continued, “you might not be happy with the outcome.” Fitzgerald said that if the board believed further conversation would be helpful, “we’ll agree with significant reluctance and within some limitations,” namely that the number of units and buildings is not reduced. Hutchins said that the outstanding issues were the placement of the buildings as well as the landscaping, screening and fencing of the property. In addition, he asked that the restrictions incorporated in the rental agreements, such as repairing vehicles and storing equipment, be presented to the board. The board voted unanimously to continue the public hearing to its meeting in June.

LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson and City Manger Scott Myers announced this week that the city has been awarded a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant of $642,028 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to fund the cost of four additional firefighters for two years. The grant is intended to shorten response times and expand fire suppression capability while reducing the risk of injury to firefighters. Apart from the cost of outfitting the firefighters with turnout gear and equipping them with handheld radios, estimated at about $15,000, the grant would fund their salaries, overtime and benefits for two years, with no requirement to retain them when the funding was exhausted. When the grant was initially awarded in January, the City Council rejected it by a 4-2 vote out of concern that once
the grant expired, there was no assurance the city would have the means to retain the additional personnel. Meanwhile, in March Municipal Resources Inc. of Meredith, which the City Council commissioned to review coverage, overtime and scheduling at the Fire Department, issued its report, featuring a recommendation to hire four firefighters in 2014 and two in each of the following two years. MRI also suggested the council reapply for the SAFER grant. In April councilors voted unanimously to authorize Deputy Chief Deb Pendergast, who prepared the original grant application, to resubmit it. Moreover, the council agreed to work with the department to prepare a plan to ensure funding for the four positions once the grant expires. At the time, Erickson said he was “optimistic” about receiving the grant, noting that the department’s original application scored very highly and the funds had not been distributed.
Errors costly as Red Sox fall to Twins BOSTON (AP) — Scott Diamond allowed three hits in seven innings, Ryan Doumit hit his first homer of the season and the Minnesota Twins beat the Boston Red Sox 6-1 on Tuesday night. Diamond (3-2) gave up a single in each of the first three innings, didn’t allow a runner past first base and retired the last 15 batters he faced. He struck out two and walked none. David Ortiz went 1 for 4 to extend his hitting streak to 27 games, a run that began before he sustained a season-ending injury in August. He has at least one hit in all 15 games he’s played this season. Ryan Dempster (2-3) pitched well for Boston and left trailing 2-0 in the top of the eighth after third baseman Pedro Ciriaco made errors on the first two batters, putting runners at first and third. That led to four runs, three of them unearned, as the Twins took a 6-0 lead. The Red Sox entered the game with the best record in the majors but have scored just 14 runs while losing four of their last six games. They also lost two players after they collided chasing a foul pop by Chris Parmelee in the
fifth near the low wall about halfway between home plate and third base. Third baseman Will Middlebrooks caught it, but catcher David Ross slid into him, forcing his back to hit the wall. Ross left later in the fifth with a left thigh contusion and Middlebrooks was replaced by Ciriaco to start the seventh because of pain in his right side. Josh Roenicke worked the last two innings, allowing Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s fourth homer in the ninth. The Twins took a 1-0 lead in the fifth on a leadoff double by Doumit and an RBI single through a drawn-in infield by Wilkin Ramirez. They made it 2-0 on Doumit’s homer with one out in the seventh. It was upheld on video review after umpires ruled the ball had cleared the home run line at the top of the left field wall before a fan caught it. It all unraveled for the Red Sox in the top of the eighth with three errors, a walk and three hits. Ciriaco bobbled leadoff hitter Brian Dozier’s grounder for his first error. The next batter, Jamey Carroll, hit the ball to the left of Ciriaco, who couldn’t come up with it for his second error as Dozier took third.
from preceding page They also said they would sometimes see him walking a little girl to a neighborhood playground. Tito DeJesus, an uncle of Gina DeJesus, played in bands with Castro over the last 20 years. He recalled visiting Castro’s house but never noticed anything out of the ordinary, saying it had very little furniture and was filled with musical instruments. “I had no clue, no clue whatsoever that this happened,” he said. Also arrested were Castro’s brothers Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50. Calls to the jail went unanswered, and there was no response to interview requests sent to police, the jail and city officials. Ariel Castro’s son, Anthony Castro, said in an interview with London’s
Daily Mail newspaper that he now speaks with his father just a few times a year and seldom visited his house. He said on his last visit, two weeks ago, his father wouldn’t let him inside. “The house was always locked,” he said. “There were places we could never go. There were locks on the basement. Locks on the attic. Locks on the garage.” Anthony Castro, who lives in Columbus, also wrote an article for a community newspaper in Cleveland about the disappearance of Gina DeJesus just weeks after she went missing, when he was a college journalism student. “That I wrote about this nearly 10 years ago — to find out that it is now so close to my family — it’s unspeakable,” he told The Plain Dealer newspaper.
Woman jumps from footbridge behind City Hall Fishermen come to her aid
LACONIA — A 37-year-old woman Belmont woman who jumped into the Winnipesaukee River early yesterday evening was quickly pulled to safety by a fisherman, police reported. Laconia police identified the woman as Melanie Sweeney. They said Sweeney attempted to jump off the footbridge behind City Hall around 6:10 p.m. and was pulled off the bridge railing by two fisherman, whereupon she ran to the end of the bridge and then jumped head-first from the embankment into the river, police said in a statement released to the news media. One of the fishermen, Daniel Lyle, 33, of Summer Street, Laconia, jumped into the river and pulled Sweeney to the river bank and waited for emergency medical personnel to arrive. When EMTs arrived, Sweeney was breathing, but unresponsive. She was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital where she was treated for non-life threatening injuries, police reported.
Paige Thompson, who runs Too Good To Be Threw at 84 Union Ave., told the Daily Sun she was just closing up her shop when a man with a dog came into her shop and told her what was happening. She said he told her he saw the woman jump. Thompson said she saw Lyle holding Sweeney by the river bank and she offered him the warmth of her shop. “He was just walking like he was in a trance,” she said. Fire Lt. Lisa Baldini said firefighters were able to get through the building to reach Sweeney who was on the banking of the river on the Union Avenue side. “Fortunately we had access to that building,” she said. Baldini said the water is extremely cold through there at all times of the year and very cold this time of year. “She maybe only had a couple of more minutes,” Baldini said. She said Lyle declined to be transported but was evaluated by firefighters. She said he just wanted to get out of there. She said he was wet and cold but otherwise seemed fine.
SYRIA from page 2 But on Tuesday, Assad accused Israel of supporting “terrorists” — the Syrian government’s name for the anti-regime rebels — and boasted that Syria was “capable of facing Israel’s ventures.” He did not say what action he would take, if any. Salehi adopted a slightly harsher tone, saying that “it is time to deter the Israeli occupiers from carrying out these aggressions against the peoples of the region.” He also stopped short of threatening retaliation. Later Tuesday, Internet companies reported Syria was experiencing an outage similar to a two-day blackout last fall. Syrian authorities have cut phone and Internet service in select areas in the past to disrupt rebel communications when regime forces are conducting major operations. The companies said Syria’s networks
appeared to go offline about 9 p.m. (1900 GMT). Meanwhile, the United States and Russia, another Syria ally, said they’ll convene a new international conference later this month to build on a transition plan they set out last year in Geneva. Speaking in Moscow after his discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other officials, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the plan should be a roadmap for peace and not just a “piece of paper.” The goal is still to bring the Assad regime and representatives from the opposition together for talks on setting up an interim government, Kerry said. The Geneva plan, which never gained traction, allowed each side to veto candidates it found unacceptable.

Former Gilmanton & Laconia man pleads guilty to 22 counts of burglary, sentenced to state prison LACONIA — A local man who lived in both Gilmanton and Laconia pleaded guilty yesterday to 22 counts of burglary, one count of attempted burglary and one count of changing the markings on a firearm. According victims who were at yesterday’s sentencing, Daniel Roberts, 22, formerly of Allens Mills Road, wept as he pleaded “guilty” to each of the 22 counts of burglary. “I’m glad it’s over. Let’s put it in the past and hope he makes a better life for himself,” said one of three victims who lives on Lafayette Street in Laconia. County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen said Roberts was sentenced to a total of six to 15 years in State Prison. She said he faces a suspended sentence of 15 to 30 years pending his good behavior. He was also ordered to pay $97,000 in restitution as part of his sentence. Roberts and his two co-defendants were apprehended by the Gilmanton Police and detectives from Belmont just after Labor Day weekend in 2011 after police staked out his residence for the entire long weekend. Chief Joe Collins said at the time there had been a couple of burglaries in Gilmanton and
he had gotten information regarding some suspicious activity in the house where Roberts and his co-defendants lived. Armed with a search warrant, police and members of the Belmont County Special Operations Unit entered the home shortly after the children had been put on a school bus. Police recovered a number of firearms as well as a number of items stolen from as many as 22 homes in Belmont, Gilford, Gilmanton, Laconia and Sanbornton. Co-defendant Jamie Peterson, 31, also of Allens Mills Road, pleaded guilty in March to one count each of burglary, attempted burglary and changing the markings on a firearm. He was sentenced to 12 months in the Belknap County House of Corrections with a suspended 7½-to-15 year prison sentence conditions upon his good behavior. Co-defendant Jacqualin Oliver, 35, also of Allens Mills Road, pleaded guilty to two counts of being a felon in possession of a weapon. She was sentenced to 12 months in the house of corrections to be followed by two years of probation. Note: Reporter Gail Ober lives in the immediate neighborhood of some of the victims. She is friends with one of them.
FUTURES from page one were many concerns over the role of government in the group he participated in and charged that the Granite State Future’s plan was ‘’an activist document’’ which portrayed the state’s tradition of private property rights as a barrier to progress. Former Meredith Selectman Miller Lovett said that one of the themes which had emerged in the Granite State Future’s community conversations was a tension between individual rights and community rights which creates polarization and makes compromises and consensus more difficult. The listening sessions are being conducted as part of a three-year project to address regional planning issues. The endeavor is being underwritten by a $3.37 million federal grant with all of the state’s nine regional planning commissions participating. Some $300,000 of that grant is going to the Lakes Region Planning Commission, which is headquartered in Meredith. Commission Executive Director Kim Koulet said that he was pleased with the large
turnout and felt that there was a good discussion of a multitude of issues facing the state and the Lakes Region in particular. Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams said that the focus group he was part of thought that infrastructure and jobs, especially for young people, is critical. He also said that issues of poverty and a high crime rate are concerns that need to be dealt with, Carmen Lorentz, executive director of the Belknap Economic Development Council, said that the group she worked with identified education, a quality environment and linking education to industry so that it helps meet workforce needs were seen as top priorities. Moriarity said that his group pondered the issue “what kind of a state do we want to be and do we want a tourist economy or a manufacturing economy?’’ He said that one area of agreement was the need to address the issues of the state’s aging infrastructure and the aging of its population.

State School bill gets hearing before House’s Public Works & Highways Committee By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — A Senate bill that would repeal the rider attached to the 2012-2013 state budget prescribing the process for selling the former Laconia State School property encountered no opposition at a hearing before the House Public Works and Highways Committee yesterday. In 2011, the Legislature, at the initiative of the Senate, circumvented the statutory process for disposing of state property by directing the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to offer the property to the city for $10-million and, if the city declined, to offer it to Belknap County at “fair market value.” If neither the city nor the county accepted the offer, the department was instructed to sell the property on the open market. The law stipulated that the Governor and Executive Council must approve any sale. Senate Bill 19, sponsored by Sen. Jim Rausch (R-Derry) would cut short this process and revert to the procedure prescribed by statute (RSA 4:40). which requires review by the Council of Resources and Development, consisting of officials of major state agencies, and the approval of the Long Range CHAMPLIN from page one I’ve beat it before and I’ll do it again.” A native of Rhode Island, Champlin captained the basketball team at Coventry High School, playing as a stretch forward against the likes of Marvin “Bad News” Barnes and Ernie DiGregorio, who later starred at Providence College. After a stint at Rhode Island Junior College, he graduated from Rhode Island College, majoring in both special and elementary education. In 1980 he came to New Hampshire, where he began his career at the Spaulding Youth Center in Northfield, working with children with neurological and behavioral challenges and within a couple of years put his foot through the doorway of the Laconia schools as a crisis counselor for the eight schools of Laconia, Gilford and Gilmanton. The story goes that when he arrived in the city to find Champlin Street in the South End, he knew he had come to the right place. Champlin began as a counselor at Woodland Heights Elementary School, then assistant principal and finally principal. “I’ve got some loyalty there,” he said of Woodland Heights, where he met his wife and saw his youngest through school. In 1999 Champlin became assistant superintendent and within two years superintendent. By then the schools had embarked on a program to renovate the three elementary schools as well as build a new middle school and high school. Ed Philpot, who served on the school board and helped frame the program, formed a lasting friendship with Champlin. “Bob came up through the district,” he said. “He has an unfailing passion for this school district and has been its heart and soul.” Philpot described the building program, which is being capped with the completion and opening of the renovated and expanded Huopt Technical Center, new science laboratories and rebuilt athletic fields at the high school, as “the smallest part of it. He would have done it in a cardboard box if he’d had to. Bob was about delivering the core services,” he explained. “How can we be the very best at educating kids. He is an indomitable spirit when it comes to kids.” Champlin was quick to attribute any success he achieved to “the shared leadership in our community. It’s really been about the people,” he said. In his letter he lauded the faculty and staff for “developing the potential for success in every student, every day, in every way” and observed “leadership is an exciting place place to be and my job has been made easier by the tremendous people who work in Laconia.” The school board, city council, city manager, police and fire chiefs and other “community partners have helped make our schools so much more powerful and effective than I could ever have accomplished on my own.” Champlin said that “when I return to Providence and tell my old friends, the guys I played ball with,
Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, composed primarily of legislators. The committee must find a property is “no longer needed by the state” before recommending its sale to the governor and Executive Council, which must approve any transaction. Rep. Frank Tilton (R-Laconia), a member of the Public Works and Highways Committee, noted that Rausch, along with three of his co-sponsors — Reps. Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), John Graham (R-Bedford) and David Campbell (D-Nashua) are members of the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, who were troubled that the statutory process was bypassed. The bill carried the Senate with an amendment, sponsored by Sen. Peter Bragdon (R-Milford), the president of the Senate, that would eliminate of one of three toll booths on the Everett Turnpike in Merrimack, one of the four towns in his Senate district. While residents of Merrimack have clamored for scuttling the toll booths for years, the Legislature has steadfastly refused. In fact, since 2000, 11 bills have been introduced to eliminate one or all of the Merrimack toll booths. All have been referred to the House Public Works and Highways Committee, what I’m doing, they say ‘excuse me you’re doing what? Are you crazy?” In closing his letter he answered “I am so grateful to have had this opportunity. Being someone who tried to help children and families in our little city is a dream come true for me.”
which recommended against all 11, eight of them by unanimous votes, and most failed by voice votes on the House floor. Tilton said most of the questions posed at yesterday’s hearing bore on the amendment, not the original bill. He noted that earlier in the session the committee recommended against same a bill to eliminate the same toll booth by a vote of 19 to 0, which the House subsequently rejected by a voice vote. Tilton anticipated that the House would strip the amendment from the bill then adopt it as originally introduced in the Senate. The Senate and House would resolve their differences in a committee of conference, which Tilton expected to endorse the original bill. SUV from page 2 face chaotic city streets while electrics from BYD and other producers struggle to attract buyers. The fatter profit margins for SUVs are a financial lifeline to a Chinese industry that is being squeezed as global brands make inroads into their market for smaller cars. “You’ve got almost everyone targeting SUVs,” said analyst Namrita Chow of IHS Automotive. SUV sales in China rose 20 percent last year to 2.5 million vehicles, more than double the 8 percent growth of the overall auto market, according to LMC Automotive. SUVs made up 18 percent of all vehicles sold.

LOSS from page one office. “We are making the sessions available to the churches and the school as a resource.” The pupose of the sessions, said Campbell, is to give young people a chance to better “articulate what they feel and that it’s OK to be angry.” “It was such an overwhelming event,” Laconia Assistant School Superintendent Terri Forsten said of Lily’s death and the anguish the community felt during the aftermath. Counselors from Genesis Behavioral Health spent time at the Middle School in the days following the tragedy to assist students with their grief. And a week after Lily died hundreds of youngsters lined up outside St. James Episcopal Church to pay their respects and file silently past her casket. When a child’s friend dies suddenly, the children may become fearful of this happening to them or someone they love. “As a teen you tend to think you’re invincible. For someone to be struck down can give [a young person] pause,” explained Ken Norton, the executive director of NAMI-NH, a statewide organization that helps people and families facing mental illness or other kinds of emotional challenges. Norton said parents need to be there for their children when as they ask questions and talk about their fears and anger. And parents also need to understand that the process can take time. “It’s not just one conversation that you have once at dinner, [parents] are going to find out they’ve got to revisit it,” Norton said. If a youngster seems to be uncomfortable taking about the loss, Norton advised that parents choose a more relaxed, or less intense setting for the conversation. “Instead of talking to your child face-to-face across the table, try bringing up the subject while riding in the car or taking a walk,” he suggested. Forsten agreed. “In our house we shoot hoops,” she said. “Sometime the most poignant things are said
after we’ve shot a few baskets.” Forsten sees the sessons that are being offered as another example of the ongoing community response to Lily’s death and the serious injuries suffered by her classmate Alyssa Miner, who was walking with Lily when the two were struck. “Any of those venues for group conversations is a good idea,” Forsten said of the six-week seesions which will be held at the St. Andre Bessette Conference Center on Gilford Avenue. Su McKinnon, of the Catholic Charities staff and a social worker, will help Campbell conduct the session. Forsten said that the fact that Lily died so suddenly makes coping with the loss especially hard. “A fifth- or sixth-grade student can experience death of someone who dies in a flash, or it can be one who is very ill. That time to prepare (for a person’s death) can be a gift.” Forsten said that given the circumstances surrounding Lily’s death school officials have taken a number of steps to keep parents informed about this issue as well as to offer helpful advice on ways parents can help their children at this difficult time. Norton pointed out that just as adults deal with death and loss differently, so too with children. He said parents also need to understand the importance of routine and structure for young people at a difficult time like this. If a youngster is having difficulty getting back into a familiar routine after a tragedy that could be an indication the child is having difficulty coping. Campbell said the sessions will be helpful both for youngsters who want to talk about their feelings as well as those who want to keep their thoughts to themselves. “Even if they come and sit there they will walk away knowing that others are going through what they are,” he said. While the sessions are currently schedules to run for six week, Campbell said that program could run for two additional weeks if the participants wish.
GAS from page 3 to 500 state and municipal bridges it deems structurally deficient and in need of repairs or replacement to continue operating. According to figures presented by the bill’s House sponsor, David Campbell, a Nashua Democrat, the increase would generate close to $634 million over the next 10 years for the highway fund and increase state aid to municipalities for transportation projects by 51 percent. More money for municipalities is hugely important, said Henry Spencer, a selectman from Effingham. Without it, he his town and many others will be forced to raise property taxes or let municipal roads and bridges fall into greater disrepair. Department of Transportation Commissioner Chris Clemente said it will be much cheaper for the state to fund repairs now than replace roads and bridges in the future. He urged lawmakers to find a long-term solution for the state highway fund, which has run a deficit for close to a decade.
The legislature has used a series of budgetary patches to shore up the highway fund’s deficit, including selling bonds on highway obligations and temporarily raising the Registry of Motor Vehicles surcharge. Most recently, lawmakers sold a stretch of Interstate 95 to the Bureau of Turnpikes. The $120 million was supposed to be paid over 20 years, but much of that is already spent, with the remainder included in the twoyear budget that starts in July. But trucking company operators like Brian Lewis, Vice President of Concord-based New Hampshire Distributors, Inc., said greater efficiency standards are taking vehicles off the road and higher fuel costs are thinning already tight margins. He said an added increase to fuel costs will significantly impact his company’s bottom line. The Senate Ways and Means Committee will make a recommendation to their colleagues before the proposal is put to a full vote. The bill does not face an easy road through the Republican-controlled Senate, where several lawmakers have vocally opposed the measure.

MEREDITH — The Meredith Public Library is launching a brand new type of book club this spring. Beginning on Wednesday, May 15, the library will be hosting a Comics Club in its function room every other Wednesday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. The club will be open to all ages, but Youth Ser-
vices Librarian John Locke hopes that the subject matter will help attract a younger crowd. Similar to a standard book club, attendees will congregate to discuss, debate, and recommend their favorite books. But unlike other book groups, there won’t be any assigned monthly book. Instead, the Comics Club will be a forum for members to discover new and interesting comics and graphic novels, and a place where like-minded fans of the format can meet and socialize with people who share their interests. There will be screenings of comic-based movies, as well as chances to play fun, nerdy games. And perhaps most importantly, the club members themselves will have the opportunity to help guide the development of the library’s graphic novel collections. Attendees will be able to recommend titles both new and old that they believe the library should own. In this way, see next page

LRGHealthcare & Central NH VNA join in celebrating National Nurses Week LACONIA — On the occasion of National Nurses Week, two major local health-care providers are commending the dedication of the hundreds of nurses who work for various medical facilities or services in the Lakes Region. “Our nurses are trusted to provide the highest quality care every day of the year. National Nurse’s Week provides an opportunity to recognize them and express our appreciation for their dedication and service,” said Ellen Wolff, senior vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer of LRGHealthcare. Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice also paid special tribute to its nurses and other health-care professionals on its staff. “Our visit staff is made up of more than just nurses, we employ therapists, social workers, nursing assistants and homemakers too...” said
Brian Winslow, director of Fund Development for Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice, “they are a team and they all help treat patients where it matters most...in the home.” The American Nurses Association and local health-care providers both support and encourage National Nurses Week recognition programs throughout the community, specialty nursing organizations, educational facilities, and independent health care companies and institutions. Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession. Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice visit staff make almost 50,000 home visits a year to thousands of clients. LRGH has 400 nurses serving in its various facilities.
from preceding page the library staff hopes to give younger patrons a chance be more involved in the library. The formation of the Comics Club is due in large part to a generous
donation from the Meredith Altrusa Club’s Literacy Committee. This gift has allowed the library to expand the number and variety of graphic novels on its shelves in order to cater to all types of readers.

cally touch base, exchange information and demonstrate your genuine interest in others. People will open up to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Spending more than you earn creates problems, even if it’s just a little more. You’ll keep the balance in check. This has to do with both money and more subtle systems of exchange between people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll encounter traffic jam-like situations that feel hopeless as they inch along. Movement, even if it’s only a few inches at a time, is still movement. Relax and listen to life’s music. You’ll eventually get where you want to go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll make friends easily. What will you do together? Investigate the goings on in your community. The best outings do not require you to spend a lot of money. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 8). Introductions this month bring luck. Your most lucrative times are now, July and December. The encouragement and support you give others will boomerang back to you as you apply yourself to a big project in June. Your affection for someone special grows through November, and 2014 brings a commitment. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 5, 42, 38 and 20.
TUNDRA
HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll benefit from knowing the motives of others, and you’ll easily figure them out now, too, especially if that someone is a child or seems to have the emotional maturity level of a child. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Of course you know what bothers you, but your expertise will pale in comparison to that of a certain person who seems to thrive on finding new ways to drive you crazy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An overlap of interests will influence your love life now. Money, work, romance, power, status, family matters and more will play into the action somehow. You’ll keep a clear head and compartmentalize well when necessary. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Passion isn’t dead; it’s just sleeping. Enjoy the cooling-off period while it lasts. This is what’s needed to recharge your energy. Work and relationships will thrive again once you’ve rested. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Act on your moneymaking ideas, especially if they involve an open invitation to the general public. You have special luck in matters of publicity and your reputation. People want to be around your upbeat energy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You won’t be deterred by the complexities of romance. The best things in life are a bit messy. Expecting things to be otherwise is naive. You have the gumption to hang in there and try harder to make it work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The time you spend following your curiosity will be the best investment of the day. It makes for good conversation, which is an absolutely free pastime that will lead to good fortune in many areas of life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are likely to get mentally swept off your feet by someone who strikes a chord in your heart. You’ll try to cover this up to the best of your ability, though, recognizing the benefit of privacy.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, May 8, 2013— Page 27
––––––– ALMANAC –––––––
WEDNESDAY PRIME TIME
Today is Wednesday, May 8, the 128th day of 2013. There are 237 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 8, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced on radio that Nazi Germany’s forces had surrendered, and that “the flags of freedom fly all over Europe.” On this date: In 1541, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto reached the Mississippi River. In 1794, Antoine Lavoisier (lah-vwahz-YAY’), the father of modern chemistry, was executed on the guillotine during France’s Reign of Terror. In 1884, the 33rd president of the United States, Harry S. Truman, was born in Lamar, Mo. In 1886, Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton invented the flavor syrup for Coca-Cola. In 1921, Sweden’s Parliament voted to abolish the death penalty. In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon was shoved, stoned, booed and spat upon by antiAmerican protesters in Lima, Peru. In 1962, the musical comedy “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” opened on Broadway. In 1972, President Richard Nixon announced that he had ordered the mining of Haiphong Harbor during the Vietnam War. In 1973, militant American Indians who’d held the South Dakota hamlet of Wounded Knee for ten weeks surrendered. In 1984, the Soviet Union announced it would boycott the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In 1988, science-fiction author Robert A. Heinlein died in Carmel, Calif., at age 80. In 1993, the Muslim-led government of BosniaHerzegovina and rebel Bosnian Serbs signed an agreement for a nationwide cease-fire. Ten years ago: The Senate unanimously endorsed adding to NATO seven former communist nations: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. A federal grand jury indicted Chinese-born California socialite Katrina Leung on charges that she’d illegally taken, copied and kept secret documents obtained from an FBI agent. (A federal judge later dismissed the case against Leung, rebuking prosecutors for misconduct.) The rear door of a Russian-built cargo plane burst open over Congo, hurling more than 100 Congolese soldiers and their families to their deaths. Five years ago: Sen. Barack Obama got a front-runner’s welcome back at the U.S. Capitol, where he was surrounded on the House floor by well-wishers calling him “Mr. President” and reaching out to pat him on the back or shake his hand. One year ago: Six-term veteran Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar lost a bitter Republican primary challenge, his nearly four-decade career in the Senate ended by tea party-backed state Treasurer Richard Mourdock. North Carolina voters decided overwhelmingly to strengthen their state’s gay marriage ban. Children’s book author Maurice Sendak died in Danbury, Conn. Former U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, 90, died in Skillman, N.J. Josh Hamilton became the 16th player to hit four home runs in a game, carrying the Texas Rangers to a 10-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My grandfather passed away last month, and the wake was catered by a close friend of the family who owns a restaurant. He closed off a section of his dining hall for our family. The meal included 15 children under the age of 10, and they were absolute monsters. My nephew threw his shoe across the room and then tripped a waitress. These kids crawled under the tables, poking us with forks and smearing food into the carpet. My cousin’s 8-year-old daughter put open condiment packets in my purse and a baked potato in my mother’s coat pocket and then mashed it into the fabric. People from the other area of the restaurant complained after my nephew threw food at them. My husband and I left, leaving a large tip for the servers. Other relatives did the same. The dining room was an utter disaster. Before we left town the next morning, my husband and I stopped by the restaurant and left additional money for the inconvenience of cleaning food out of the carpet. My grandmother asked the owner for a full bill of the damage and presented it to those children whose offspring made the mess. It started a huge family row, and of course, nobody is taking responsibility for their kids. I’ve never seen such appalling behavior, and I doubt my grandfather would have appreciated such disrespect. My husband and I are tempted to send the restaurant owner an anonymous money order because we doubt he will otherwise be compensated. My parents are supposed to have their 50th anniversary party at this restaurant next month, and the guest list is almost identical. They’re too embarrassed to go, but don’t want to lose their deposit. Should I send the money order? Whatever happened to manners? -- Shocked Granddaughter Dear Shocked: They apparently got stuck with the mashed potatoes. What terrible behavior from the parents who al-
lowed their children to run amok. And they do their children a disservice by making them unwelcome everywhere. We think your parents should go ahead with their plans to celebrate at that restaurant but issue invitations only to the adults. Children who are too immature to behave in public and whose parents refuse to control them should not be included in these events. We suspect your parents paid the cleaning bill, so instead of “donating” money to the restaurant, you might consider doing something special on your folks’ behalf. Dear Annie: Every time I look in the papers, I see articles about wars, death, etc., but never about the homeless, especially homeless children and runaways. Why is that? These children are our future. There seems to be money for everything from new jails to fixing swimming pools, but not a word about money for the homeless. Why? -- Frustrated Dear Frustrated: In the news business, death “sells.” Runaways, not so much. But there are articles on the homeless if you look, and shelters are funded through federal, state and city government allocations, as well as by private philanthropy. You sound like a kind person. Please look for a shelter in your area and volunteer your time. It would be much appreciated. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Cal in Maine,” who complained that his grandchildren rarely communicate with him. I have reread and shared that letter many times. I totally agree with him, as my older grandchildren seem to care little about keeping in touch. But I also now remember how little I cared about keeping in touch with my own grandparents 40 years ago. I guess what goes around comes around. -- Lois in Omaha
